WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.799 Say after the tri State bad weather is heading our way with winds up to 2 00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:07.320 fifty miles in our state. Tuned for that and more. Plus later on 3 00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:11.160 we're going to have Randy Freaking in at one thirty to talk about Red Spaceball 4 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:16.480 and the Community Fund. It's getting ready for action. On Thursday. Our 5 00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.559 coverage starts about five am, but nonetheless, albeit the Holy Grail with Marty 6 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.600 Brenneman and Bob Castellini, a bunch of others starting about two o'clock. Joints 7 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.839 there if you can get in, it's going to be wonderful. But most 8 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:33.840 importantly Hamny County Prosecutor and Melissa Powers has an opinion editorial in the Inquiry about 9 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.880 runaways, what's happening in juvenile court. Also there was another a long editorial 10 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.679 and there was a long story in the Inquiry about snitches are being misused and 11 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.920 the neophyte running against Melissa Powers is saying that there used to be an addit 12 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:53.240 of homicide cases in the Hamny County Prosecutor's office to make sure that the murderers 13 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.200 are getting all that's due to them. As far as rights plus squatters are 14 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.520 a big issue, I know in northern Kentucky and Ohio people are concerned about 15 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:06.000 leaving their homes and whether squatters may simply come into your house live there and 16 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.000 you can't get them out. And a plus elder justice is percolating on the 17 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.599 side. Also Melissa Powers, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And 18 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:19.040 first of all, there's an audit proposed by your political opponent, an audit 19 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.200 as if this is some sort of an accounting matter of the snitches and others 20 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.159 on the criminal cases. How many kinds of prosecutor's office has been recognized for 21 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.120 decades as the top prosecutor's office in the Tri State, if not the nation. 22 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.159 The conviction rate you have for murder cases as well, above ninety five 23 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.599 percent might be ninety nine percent. Can you describe the role of snitches in 24 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.280 murder cases and why they're critical and those who criticize such things don't know what 25 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:51.599 they're talking about. Well, oftentimes, Bill that in order to proceed on 26 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:59.040 criminal matters, it may involve having informants or snitches Jaoe house snitches involved in 27 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.519 a case. And it is the use of these informants are always determined on 28 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.439 a case by case basis. The decision to offer any testimony and informant in 29 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.719 a trial is also determined by a case by case basis with the attorney handle 30 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.759 meet cases, and then we use a lot of we go back through what 31 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.639 their testimony of maybe if used at a trial, consulting with law enforcement, 32 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.479 review of the evidence, what are the strength and weaknesses of the case. 33 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.159 So there's a lot of factors that go in. No one likes using them, 34 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.840 but sometimes it's a necessity. Is the only way in order to go 35 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.719 forward. We would love to have you know, cases proved and witness all 36 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:45.639 our witnesses to be you know, crimes to occur in front of a convent 37 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.479 for example, where the witnesses are impeccable, but that's not always the case 38 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.479 when you're dealing with criminal matters. So it's used, It's been used for 39 00:02:53.639 --> 00:03:00.479 years, is forever really quite honestly. Some are effective and sometimes it's not. 40 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.840 It's a high risk in using the snitch, There's no doubt about it. 41 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.759 Many times it's the only method to get a conviction. And members of 42 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.400 these gangs in Cincinnati, and you can get somebody killed in Cincinnati for like 43 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.240 fifteen hundred dollars or less. And these aren't boy scouts. These are not 44 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.159 members of the Chamber of commerce. And many times if you call her a 45 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.919 snitch and they put the hot white lamps on them, they want to give 46 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.000 information, and you vought your juris ahead of time, telling them, look 47 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.919 this is and then you confirm that what the snitch is telling you independently objectively 48 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.400 about some other member of the gang. You confirm that before you proceed. 49 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.439 And so for those who say there needs to be an audit, that someone 50 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:43.879 needs to come to audit the ament Cunty Prosecutor's office on the use of snitches, 51 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.280 how does a seasoned prosecutor like you react to the idea of an audit. 52 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.599 Well, I did see the response or comment by my opponent who wants 53 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.400 to conduct an audit of all homicide cases. So I don't know how far 54 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:02.560 back that she's intending to go with that and overturned convictions if a snitch was 55 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:08.400 used or an informant was used. I have no idea, but it's it 56 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.560 just points out I think the glaring that is so glaring that she doesn't know 57 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.639 what she's talking about, and she does not have the experience in the criminal 58 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:24.519 justice system to understand how things work. And and basically I think it points 59 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.639 out that she doesn't She hasn't been in the courtroom and has never handled a 60 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.759 homicide case, has never worked with law enforcement on homicide cases, have never 61 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.959 have never interviewed a snitch, have never gone through all the methods that you're 62 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.720 trying to make sure that the snitch is giving you truthful testimony. The last 63 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.839 thing we want is to be able to have a trial where we and we 64 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.639 have a snitch that's not credible. We do the best we can with that, 65 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:54.319 but as you know, the criminal justice process is not perfect. Both 66 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.519 the state and the criminal defendants, we want a fair trial. It's not 67 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.600 always going to be a perfect one. Every day we work in law enforcement, 68 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.639 we want to make sure justice is served in the courtrooms, and we 69 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.120 want to make sure that the people have confidence and what's happening inside the courtrooms. 70 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.279 If we made a mistake, we'll own up to it. This office 71 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.600 will own up to it, and we'll fight just as hard to correct the 72 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.759 record. When attempts are made to cast down on the work that we do, 73 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:25.279 we look at it as as this is all about public safety, keeping 74 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.720 people safe, holding people accountable, and punishing the wrongdoers, the law breakers, 75 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.639 the criminals that are committing the murders. That's who we want. We 76 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.959 do not. We are looking for the truth. We're always looking for the 77 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.120 truth. Of course, audits are always very important. Got to have an 78 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.839 audit now and then you've never heard of it, to have an audit, 79 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.680 I've never heard of that. But anyway, that's a new approach. But 80 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.560 you have a column on yesterday that you hamilet accounty, juvenile courts, stands 81 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:56.360 on runaways, a miscarriage of justice. Let me share with the American people 82 00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:01.519 your first sentence. Last falls, thousands of Bengal fans gathered to cheer on 83 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.959 the Bengals at a tailgate around the stadium. A teenager walked among them. 84 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:11.160 She was pregnant, she was on the run, she was under eighteen, 85 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.879 and she was being trafficked, pimped out, and sold for sex to attendees 86 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.759 of the Ruckus party that takes place every home game during the football season. 87 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:25.399 Caseworkers had her name, her information, and her history. She's been missing 88 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.720 since July of twenty twenty three and on the run from her foster care placement. 89 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.920 Despite their efforts, she was slipping through the cracks and so this is 90 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:40.079 a tragedy that happens on large gatherings all the time with runaways and girls, 91 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:45.279 generally teenagers being trafficked for sex. Explain what the stance is of juvenile Court 92 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.199 relative to runaways and how it's the wrong approach. Well the law. There 93 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:58.360 are a number of statutes in Ohio that children can be taken into custody and 94 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:03.279 placed temporarily detention to make sure that they are safe from harm. There's a 95 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:08.800 federal law also that doesn't allow the children to be held more than seven days. 96 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.680 There's a timeline within twenty four hours if they're taken into custody on a 97 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:18.360 runaway warrant or a violation of a court order, and typically this involves foster 98 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:24.959 children and their placements. Currently, to date we have since this was implemented 99 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:30.639 by Juvenile Court, they decided not to accept runaway charges anymore and instead tell 100 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.560 families or Hamilton County Job and Family Services to file missing person reports for any 101 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:43.360 runaway or violations of placement orders and then issue them either as a citation and 102 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.720 then contact and have them filed as missing children reports. They claim that this 103 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.279 is a better way to go because it makes it not just in Hamilton County. 104 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.040 There's notice given you know throughout it could be throughout the country. For 105 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.959 example. What that means is is if a police, if a family or 106 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.160 the Hamilton County Job and Family Services, we have a runaway, we have 107 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.120 some right now, we have one hundred. I'm just going to talk about 108 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.360 foster children, not all all runaways, just the foster care kids alone, 109 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.639 one hundred and thirteen kids that have been that ran away from their placement. 110 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.360 Fifty six of them are still a wall since the Court's policy was initiated in 111 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:31.720 July of twenty three. The example that you pointed out involves one of these 112 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.919 cases where we our office ask for a warrant. Please give us a warrant. 113 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.559 What that enables police to do is to be able to if they locate 114 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.120 the child, take the child into custody and get them before the court to 115 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.639 try to get some services to them, have them evaluate it and see what 116 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.320 they need. What the problem is, why they are running away, If 117 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.840 they're running and so, without getting too technical, what the Court has done 118 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.759 is eliminated all that. Now they're not following the law. They claim it's 119 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.159 the extension of the federal law. So they are writing their own law, 120 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.960 there being activist judges writing their own law saying they're not going to accept any 121 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:15.519 runaway charges and then just do missing person reports. So what that is a 122 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.679 detriment to the child is if somebody, if the law enforcement does locate the 123 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.519 child, they can all they can do is ask the child, will you 124 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.159 come with us? You know, will you please come with us? What 125 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.960 can we do for you? You know, just ask questions. The child 126 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:35.559 can refuse to be taken into custody and brought back before the court, So 127 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.000 they've eliminated the mechanism that we can help these children. My office keeps asking 128 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.759 for these warrants. Hamilton since this has been this policy that they've developed and 129 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.600 adopted, if not following the law, creating their own law of no complaints, 130 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.720 no warrants pro Kids as opposed to it. Hamilton County, Job and 131 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.399 Family Services as opposed to it, the Guardian Items as opposed to it. 132 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:07.559 Also, the Public Defender's Office is opposed to it. Because there are I've 133 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.919 got a list of fifty six kids. The narratives are almost all the same. 134 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.279 If it's a female, there's either interest. We've had one female on 135 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:22.519 the run who odeed began using intravenious drugs, most likely heroine, given to 136 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.440 her by the pimp that was trafficking our So she's now dead and on a 137 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.159 wall. She was a wall when this happened. We have the girl that 138 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.840 you just explained, but mostly the females. What we have are the young 139 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.320 females are victims of trafficking, and the court knows that this is brought to 140 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.279 their attention by my office. They know about it and still refuse to issue 141 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.240 the warrants. They won't do it now. The warrant is our only mechanism 142 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.919 to remove them from a terrible situation. If it's a male, typically the 143 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:58.120 males are committing all kinds of crimes from our sin down to the burglary, 144 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.039 stealing, call ours, firearm charges, all the way down the gamut. 145 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.080 And we may catch the boys because they're picking up new charges. But the 146 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.279 females are the ones that are at the highest risk and the saddest cases that 147 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.360 you hear. All of them are being trafficked, and we know that at 148 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:22.480 the shelter, our local shelter, here is the known spot where these pimps, 149 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.759 these traffickers go to recruit and then Once a girl is recruited, she 150 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.600 goes back into the shelter and recruits more children, more females to be part 151 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.960 of the ring. And it's just a terrible, terrible situation. And the 152 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.799 court, I've made them aware of what's going on. I've pointed it out 153 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.080 to them. I've talked to law enforcement. We've opposed this, we're trying 154 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.480 to get it changed. But they are not relenting. They're double down and 155 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.120 sticking to it and claiming that they're following the law. But they've extended the 156 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.360 law. An extension of the law is the court decided not to accept runaway 157 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.200 charges and warrants. Well, so it leads to families, and that's just 158 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.279 the job. Those are just the foster children, if you I mean, 159 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.200 can you imagine the poor family a child runs away and they don't know how 160 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.600 to locate their child and the best they're going to get is a missing person 161 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:16.519 report. Well don't you want what do you want? The cop to be 162 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.200 able to take that child and move them from whatever beast situation it is. 163 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.039 I mean, it's just heartless what they're doing. But their agenda and there 164 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.960 they're political philosophy. I don't even know if it involves politics, but their 165 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.799 philosophy is harmful and they're hurting the most the most vulnerable segment of our society, 166 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.759 which not only children, but these children that have been on a difficult 167 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:46.279 road their entire life. And then we're just compounding which will be lifelong problems 168 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.639 obviously in the future if they if they survive it. And you want to 169 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.039 make clear to the American people that you do not want to criminalize runaways. 170 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.720 What you want to do is use the warrant issued by a judge to a 171 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.799 cop that when you love, okay to girl being sexually trafficked at a REDS 172 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.679 game of Bengals gamer anywhere, I have this warrant, I'm taking you into 173 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.840 custody and I'm gonna put you at twenty twenty. You're gonna go see a 174 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.720 magistrate and that begins the process of getting her out of that life. But 175 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:20.559 when you don't issue the warrant, that means you decriminalize crime. You decriminalize 176 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.000 it, and you say, well, just file a missing person's report along 177 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.639 with tens of thousands of others, and the cop doesn't they have the authority 178 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.360 to take physical control of that child to begin the process of getting them help. 179 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:37.080 And this is again Judge carry Bloom is the chief judge and Juvenile Court, 180 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.840 and she says, we're not going to issue warrants and just file a 181 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.600 missing person's report, which harms the children that she is supposed to help and 182 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.440 protect. And so you don't want to criminalize runaways, but you want to 183 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.720 get them in the system so they can get some help. They have a 184 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.360 ladder out of the hole in which they find themselves not now. Lastly, 185 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.399 one of the big issues happening in Hamiley County. I heard about a case 186 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:09.720 in an upscale community recently in what squatters moved into a house. And can 187 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.279 you tell the American people, just generally speaking, what rights does someone in 188 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.960 Ohio have when they're gone for a couple of weeks or three weeks or six 189 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.279 weeks and someone's living in their home. That seems to me to be a 190 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:30.960 burglary, but maybe not really explain squatters and how that's developing into a problem. 191 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.279 Well, squatters, they have legal rights in Ohio, surprisingly, and 192 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.960 it makes it difficult for the homeowner to actually remove that person there from the 193 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.360 home. Do you have to follow an eviction process? And that can take 194 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.159 anywhere from six to eight weeks. But the first thing in order to evict 195 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.000 a squatter is to smile and see hopefully a criminal trespass charge at the very 196 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:58.679 least, maybe a burglary offense. We have successfully prosecuted in the past squatters 197 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.360 for b and E breaking and entering deft. Sometimes they even file records with 198 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.360 the auditor's office and their false documents. We've had one where they're tampering with 199 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.759 records. This squatters they have no legal rights to the property, but they 200 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:18.200 can actually acquire possession by occupying the property even though they don't have permission of 201 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.639 the owner, and they over a period of time, the longer they're there, 202 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.840 they obtained these rights, says. Often it's an abandoned property or a 203 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.919 ten you know, the homeowner is gone for a period of time thirty days 204 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.360 or more, and people actually move in. They don't have their legal right 205 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.879 to live in there, but no rental agreement, no permission from the property 206 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.960 owner. But they what they turn on the water, they turn on the 207 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.600 electricity, they put it in their name. I mean, there's lots of 208 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.000 things that these squatters are doing that is just just insane to think and normally 209 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.840 that they could be treated and give any any kind of right. Now in 210 00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.039 Florida, which I think is being effectively signed today by Guv. DeSantis, 211 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.759 they are giving the police to the right to immediately remove squatters. In Ohio. 212 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.440 The police cannot go in and take it, say knock on the door 213 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:14.000 and kick the squatter out. The owner, the homeowner has to go through 214 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.919 an eviction process, which is absolutely insane. But Florida. Hopefully Ohio will 215 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:25.759 follow Florida's lead and give the police the right to immediately remove the squatters and 216 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:30.480 not have to go through that formal process of eviction. Unbelieved you, I'll 217 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:33.039 contact you know, I'll get a hold of the Governor's office, the Speaker 218 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.960 of the House, Stevens. Huffman, the Senate. This has got to 219 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.120 be the law in Ohio. And I talked to Rob Sanders. The same 220 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.679 thing's happening in Kentucky. It's popular now among squatters to move from place to 221 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.240 place and they monitor a house they move in and they claim to have a 222 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.879 verbal lease, or they dummy up a lice online and say Tony Bender owns 223 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.120 the house in Montford Heights, and they go online the Recorder's office, Tony 224 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.159 Bender owns this house. He's not here, and we'll go online get a 225 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.680 lease. Sign Tony Bender's name to the lease. Yes, he's the landlord, 226 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.640 but I have I got a two year lease. And they dumb me 227 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:10.240 up some payment of one type or another, and they're in the house. 228 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:11.960 The cops shows up and says, wait a minute, you're not supposed to 229 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.839 be. Well, here's the lease. Tony Bender signed the lease, he's 230 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.279 the landlord, and I got it enough. Cop says, well, I'm 231 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.799 done. Then you got to go to court. That takes months. It's 232 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.680 unbelievable. It is unbelievable. I'm hoping that our state catches up to what 233 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:33.720 and uses for it is an example, and our lawmakers pass a bill that 234 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.720 allows it, does not keep this. You know, from that we can 235 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:41.599 protect ourselves. But in the meantime, you can take steps to a victor 236 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.799 squatter. And the first thing would be is that you want to contact your 237 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:49.160 local police department and hopefully get that trespassed charge at the very least. And 238 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:55.960 then there's other things going on like if they're vandalizing, they're using drugs in 239 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.680 there. If you can find out any of these kind of things, then 240 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.599 he's giving some actions that the police can take, so you can try to 241 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.920 use the criminal justice system in that way. Make sure that right, make 242 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.400 sure that you are trying, you know, you're preparing to prove your case 243 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:14.039 in court with videos, photographs, any damage or proof of this squatting. 244 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.680 Make sure that see what your utility bills have been changed into their name. 245 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.000 Make sure they're not paying you know, you're paying your property taxes. They're 246 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.680 not. I mean, there's lots of things that they're doing to stay in 247 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:30.880 the property. It's really a major problem, and now we're seeing it all 248 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.400 over Twitter. To sit there and teach people more of this, how to 249 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.960 do it and take advantage of this old lall we got to run. Melissa 250 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.880 Powers, thank you, and TikTok has videos telling squatters how to do this. 251 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.039 Melissa Powers, You're doing great work, and once again, thank you 252 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.400 for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show this Tuesday afternoon.

We're going to talk about 255 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:59.200 this after the news on news radio seven hundred WLW. Nation is leading to 256 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:04.039 better treatments and saving lives. Victory over cancer is there for the taking by 257 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:10.079 you, because today's cancer research is tomorrow's victory. Learn more at VET dot 258 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.519 org. Don't give up, don't ever give up. Well, according to 259 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:22.279 news accounts, the President Joe Biden is going to speak at any moment now 260 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:27.079 to address the issue of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. Happened 261 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:33.759 about one am this morning when the cargo ship lost its way allegedly a power 262 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.640 failure, but we'll see. I watched the news conference this morning at Governor 263 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:44.480 Wes Moore in Maryland, and it appears that the cargo ship Dolly was on 264 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.079 his way to Sri Lanka and the harbor pilot. You may know that when 265 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.680 you're in this situation, there's very very well paid harbor pilots that know everything 266 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:57.519 about that particular harbor that takes over the ship. He's put on the ship, 267 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.200 and when he there's the harbor, he's taken off the ship by a 268 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.519 tug. And this particular occasion, when you watch the video this morning, 269 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.200 the ship itself one of these huge cargo ships, which is more than three 270 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:17.440 football fields long and more than one hundred yards across. This thing is gigantic 271 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.920 had lights on and they started a flicker about ten to twenty seconds before it 272 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.160 went off course, and so you can see on the video cars going across 273 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.799 the bridge, and all of a sudden, the cargo ship lost its power 274 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:37.400 and the so called pilot harbor, the harbor pilot could not course control the 275 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.079 ship and a veer to the left about one hundred yards and struck one of 276 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:47.559 those large pillars that support the Franciscott Key Bridge, which is a major bridge 277 00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:52.559 connecting Baltimore to parts of other parts of Baltimore, Baltimore Interstate Highway System, 278 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.680 et cetera. And you can see the bridge itself simply collapse as it hit 279 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:02.160 the pillar. The bridge came down, and fortunately, in a sense, 280 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:06.119 there were some workers on the bridge at one o'clock in the morning who got 281 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:10.640 onto the roadway itself and stopped some of the traffic just a few minutes a 282 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:15.880 few seconds before the ship hit the pillar. And so at this point there 283 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:22.480 appears to be about six persons missing, and the temperature was about forty seven 284 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:29.319 degrees fahrenheit before dawn this morning, and Governor Moore said an investigation is ongoing 285 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.799 to determine how many people were caught in the collapse and plunge into the river. 286 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:37.319 That's not a definitive number. It appears to be. There's five vehicles 287 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.079 and fifty foot deep water that I would assume those in the vehicles at this 288 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:48.799 point have passed on and a horrible collision with a ship and a pillar for 289 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:55.359 a major thoroughfare over Baltimore. So we'll see what happens. To President's schedule 290 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.839 to speak sometime any minute, and when that happens, I'll throw it to 291 00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:03.519 news we go. It points out that life is fragile. No, you 292 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.440 have no idea what's going to happen next. It would be as if someone 293 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:15.839 cars on the is breaking news on news radio seven hundred w L President Biden 294 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:22.880 now giving remarks following the Baltimore Bridge collapse. Let's go live to Washington to 295 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:27.880 coordinate an emergency response. Officials at the scene estimate eight people were an account 296 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:33.079 for still not still we're on account of for that number might change to have 297 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.799 been rescued, one without injury, one and critic cognition, and the search 298 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.440 and rescue operations continuing for all those remaining as we speak. I spoke with 299 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:47.920 Governor Moore this morning as well as the Mary Baltimore, the County Executive United 300 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:52.000 to both the United States Senators and the Congressman, and my Secretary of Transportation 301 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.519 is on the scene. I told them we're going to send all the federal 302 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.599 resources they need as we respond to this emergency. I mean all the federal 303 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.480 resources, and we're going to rebuild that port together. Everything so far indicates 304 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.200 that this was a terrible accident. At this time, we have no other 305 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:12.759 indication, no other reason to believe it is any intentional act here. Personnel 306 00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:18.039 on board the ship were able to alert the Maryland Department Transportation that they had 307 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.599 lost control of their vessel, as you all know, and reported. As 308 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.519 a result, local authorities were able to close the bridge of traffic before the 309 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:30.119 bridge was struck, which undoubtedly saved lives. Our prayers are with everyone involved 310 00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.720 in this terrible accident and all the families, especially those waiting for the news 311 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:38.720 of their loved one right now. I know every minute in that circumstance feels 312 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:44.720 like a lifetime. You just don't know. It's just terrible. We're incredibly 313 00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.319 grateful for the brave rescuers who immediately rush to the scene and to the people 314 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.480 of Baltimore who want to say we're with you. We're going to stay with 315 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.839 you as long as it takes. And like Governor said, you're Maryland tough, 316 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.680 You're Baltimore strong, and we're going to get through this together, and 317 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.319 I promise we're not leaving. Here's what's happening now. The search and rescue 318 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.680 operation is our top priority. Ship traffic and the Port of Baltimore has been 319 00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:15.200 suspended until further notice, and we'll need to clear that channel before the ship 320 00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.799 traffic can resume. The Army Corps Engineers is on the spot and is going 321 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.960 to help lead this effort to clear the channel. The Port of Baltimore is 322 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:27.440 one of the nation's largest shipping hubs, and I've been there a number of 323 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:32.960 times as a Senator and as a Vice President. It handles a record amount 324 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.000 of cargo last year. It's also the top port in America for both imports 325 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.839 and exports of automobiles and light trucks. Around eight hundred and fifty thousand vehicles 326 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.200 go through that port every single year, and we're going to get it up 327 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.640 and running again as soon as possible. Fifteen thousand jobs depend on that port, 328 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.720 and we're going to do everything we can to protect those jobs and help 329 00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:57.640 those workers. The bridge is also critical for travel, not just for Baltimore, 330 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:03.680 but for the Northeast. Carter over thirty thousand vehicles across the Francis Scott 331 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.799 Key Bridge on a daily basis, as virtually that well, it's one of 332 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:12.759 the most important elements for the economy in the Northeast and the quality of life. 333 00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.519 My Transportation secretary is there now. As I told Governor More, I've 334 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.160 directed my team move heaven and earth to reopen the port and rebuild the bridge 335 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.920 as soon as humanly possible. And we're gonna work hand in hand with the 336 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.759 support of Maryland to support Maryland whatever they ask for. We're gonna work with 337 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.920 our partners in Congress to make sure the state gets the support it needs. 338 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:40.160 It's my intention that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that 339 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:45.359 bridge, and I expect the Congress to support my effort. It's gonna take 340 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.319 some time, and the people of Baltimore can count on us so to stick 341 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.079 with them at every step of the way until the port is reopened and the 342 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.960 bridge is rebuilt. You know, we're not leaving until this job is done, 343 00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:02.559 not leaving until then. So I just want to say God bless everybody 344 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.640 who everyone harmed this morning and their families, and may God bless the first 345 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:14.240 responders and many of them risking their lives. And I'm going to reason I'm 346 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.960 not going to take a lot of questions. There's remaining issues that are open 347 00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.839 that we're going to determine what's going to happen in terms of the rescue mission 348 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.880 and the like. But you glad to go to Baltimore, sir, And 349 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.839 if so, how quickly I do, and as quickly as I can. 350 00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:30.799 You said the federal government is also going to pay for the repairs. I'm 351 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.079 just curious. This was a ship that appears to be a fault. Is 352 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.119 there any reason to believe that the company behind the ship should be held responsible? 353 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.480 And then also you mentioned the people. We're not going to wait that 354 00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:42.559 happen. We're going to pay for it to get the bridge be built and 355 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:47.519 open. What did you make the issue's decision not to attend this meeting this 356 00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:52.519 week? Oh, I don't want to get plenty of time and talk about 357 00:26:52.599 --> 00:27:00.480 you mentioned the port, ask about cars about the port and listening to live 358 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:06.160 coverage of President Biden giving remarks on the Baltimore bridge collapse. You can hear 359 00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:08.759 reporters asking a lot of questions about a lot of different things, including the 360 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.960 bridge and some other international issues that are ongoing. We're staying focused on the 361 00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:18.920 immediate response to this disaster for Baltimore and for much of the US. Again, 362 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:21.960 you heard the President say that's a major port when it comes to bringing 363 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:26.119 in and shipping out cars, along with lots of vehicle traffic that travels on 364 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.799 that bridge. The response to get people out of the water still going on 365 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.119 after that incident happened at about one point thirty in the morning. Keep it 366 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:37.799 tuned right here to news Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. All right, 367 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:42.160 Billy Cunningham, let's continue. This brings to mind some bridge collapses in and 368 00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:48.160 around the tri State, and we have infrastructure in this country which is often 369 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:51.920 fifty to one hundred years old that needs some attention. But this is not 370 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.000 one of those circumstances. It's obvious that some shipping company, some large shipping 371 00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:00.119 company, is liable for these damages. There's a question at the end of 372 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:06.279 this about whether or not lawsuits will be filed. I guarantee you in today's 373 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:11.759 world, lawsuits will be filed and those responsible must be held to account financially. 374 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:15.680 When the lights of power failure takes place on a large container ship, 375 00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.559 largely that's the fault of somebody, and so I would anticipate in the days, 376 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:23.279 weeks and months ahead that person or that entity will be identified in a 377 00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:26.799 way we go. But in the meantime, that bridge obviously could cost hundreds 378 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.000 of millions of dollars, if not more. You think of the Brent Spence 379 00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:34.599 Bridge, just to build one next to it, and to referbresh the bs 380 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:40.400 Bridge a little bit. The numbers being given to us are about three billion 381 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:45.359 dollars to complete the project, and I would anticipate this would be a similar 382 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:51.680 expense of similar cost, which of course we will as taxpayers bear ourselves, 383 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.079 and then down the road seek to hold those financially accountable. If the company 384 00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.920 is not liable capable of paying three billion dollars, in that case it's a 385 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:07.160 matter of folly, bankruptcy and opening up some other company. And all these 386 00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.799 large container ships are headquartered in countries that have very lacks negligent laws. But 387 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.000 we'll see what transpires. But that's the latest of this at this time, 388 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.440 so let's continue with more coming up next. To might recall a few hours 389 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.880 ago at ten o'clock in the morning, there were decisions, there were arguments 390 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.759 made before the US Supreme Court. We have a guest coming up next going 391 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:32.279 to relate to that logan is with Catholic vote, etc. To what's at 392 00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.880 staken. More So, let's continue Troil fifty five, home of your Reds 393 00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:41.680 News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati, join us for our twenty twenty four 394 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.799 iHeartRadio Music Awards live from the JILDI Leader in Hollywood, Monday, April First, 395 00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:55.160 let's continue Jill Cunning under Great America this morning, starting about ten o'clock, 396 00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:59.200 the US Supreme Court hearing arguments. Each side was given about one hour 397 00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:03.119 on these abortion pills and whether or not, for example, the makers in 398 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.680 California can ship the abortion pills to Mississippi, Alabama, Ohio, Kentucky, 399 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:12.079 Indiana, even though Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky may have different laws about abortion, 400 00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:17.559 which is killing unborn, healthy babies, that the abortion pills kind of 401 00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:22.680 defeat the purpose of states determining the rules of abortion because it comes through the 402 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.200 mail. And of course Biden and the Democrats want to kill as many healthy 403 00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:32.119 unborn babies as is possible and get it done quickly. And so whether or 404 00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:37.400 not that in opposition to Dobbs or not is an issue because we thought it 405 00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.440 went back to the states, but it doesn't go back to the states. 406 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.240 If one state can impose its abortion pills on another state that doesn't want them, 407 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.799 it's a big deal. And according to a CNN this morning, of 408 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.200 course CNN is never wrong, sixty three percent of abortions today are through the 409 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:59.880 mail. And more so, Logan Church is interested in this topic. She 410 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:04.480 with a group that want to limit or as much as possible abortions and we'll 411 00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:07.279 see what happens with that. Plus I have a column from her that talks 412 00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:12.079 about Walgreens and CVS sometime this month, right at the end of the month, 413 00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:17.400 may start selling over the counter abortion pills and more. All right, 414 00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:21.880 Logan Church, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 415 00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:26.720 And can you tell the American people what happened to the idea that individual 416 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.319 states can decide to have abortion under what means and methods. Goes the abortion 417 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:34.680 pills often to defeat that completely. Please explain that to the American people. 418 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.039 Yeah, So, first off, thanks for having me on. I think 419 00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:44.599 one thing that we have to remember is the Biden administration has made it abundantly 420 00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:51.039 clear that they tend to ensure that abortion is accessible and encouraged in every single 421 00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.640 state. And they made that clear even in their state of the Union when 422 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:59.559 they decided the first hero I say with air quotations that they were going to 423 00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:02.880 honor with a mother who decided to kill her child nine months in the womb 424 00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:06.920 and had to go out of state, out of the state of Texas to 425 00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.480 do it because it was illegal in Texas, and they decided she deserved to 426 00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:13.079 be celebrated as a hero. So I mean, I think that tells us 427 00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:16.240 everything we need to know about this administration. You know, one of the 428 00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:20.759 things that this court case is going to even be talking about is the dangers 429 00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:24.079 of this pill in general. So the FDA rushed approval for this pill, 430 00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:28.440 or it's two pills. Most people don't realize that the first pill cuts off 431 00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:30.599 the nutrients to the child, the second pill expels it from the body. 432 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:36.839 So they rushed the approval method for this pill under the pretense that it was 433 00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.480 life saving care, which is interesting given the fact that it's quite literally taking 434 00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:45.160 a life away. But yes, you're absolutely right. They're shipping it into 435 00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:49.079 states, I mean states, groups like Walgreens and CBS are now going to 436 00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:52.599 be carrying these pills in their stores in blue states, and they're continuing to 437 00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:58.400 mail it to red states that have a pro life legislation in place. And 438 00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:04.920 so it's very very sad seed. As far as the medical needs and most 439 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:09.079 abortions, uh, it isn't about women's healthcare. It's about killing unborn babies. 440 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:14.119 But nonetheless that's a different matter. As far as you point out here 441 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:19.920 that if you have an a topic pregnancy or the gestational age of the baby, 442 00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.119 that it can be extremely dangerous to take these pills, and I guess, 443 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:27.519 uh, you don't see a doctor in person. What you have to 444 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.920 do is maybe not even if these things are sold over the counter, you 445 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:35.680 may have to have some sort of telemarketing to tell of medicine explain the dangers 446 00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:39.319 of taking these pills without proper medical care. Right, So, I think 447 00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:44.599 you touched on an important important point here. You used to have to see 448 00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:46.519 a doctor even if you took the abortion pill. You don't anymore. They 449 00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:50.839 remove that restriction. So it's you know, they sell it to as it's 450 00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:52.920 you know, when you get to have an abortion in the comfort of your 451 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:54.279 home, of your own home, they want you to think that this is 452 00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:59.039 no different than taking a tile and all. It's not a massive, you 453 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.759 know, what should be as operation. And one out of twenty five women 454 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:07.920 who take the abortion pill end up in the er from life threatening issues. 455 00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:10.480 So you know, this is not exactly super safe as they want you to 456 00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.880 believe. But yeah, absolutely, you know it's you end up getting a 457 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.119 prescription for this, you don't have to follow up with a doctor if it 458 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.480 is an a topic pregnancy or if there are other there's a plethora of other 459 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:25.000 things that can go wrong in your pregnancy. It can end up killing the 460 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:29.800 woman because she's taking a pill that's not going to be able. You can't 461 00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:32.599 expel a baby through the Filippian tube just like that. It doesn't work like 462 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:37.480 that. There's a reason atopic pregnancies, when you when you end up removing 463 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.039 an actpic pregnancy, there's a reason even the Catholic Church doesn't consider that an 464 00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:44.920 abortion, because the baby wasn't going to live and the woman definitely is not 465 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.119 going to live. So yeah, absolutely. And something else I think that 466 00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:51.920 we need to make sure we're thinking about here is who does this benefit. 467 00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:57.840 This doesn't benefit women. This benefits sex traffickers and abusers who now can order 468 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:00.760 the abortion pill to cover up tracks. I no longer have to see a 469 00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:05.239 doctor, they don't have to risk taking the women into daylight, giving women 470 00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.679 the opportunity to get out of their grasp. Now they can do it from 471 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:12.039 the comfort of the perpetrator's home. And I think we're going to see an 472 00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:16.360 increase in that type of crime. As far as I wish, I'm not 473 00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:22.320 shocked much anymore about anything, but one, Ohio, which was the birthplace 474 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.400 of the right to life movement with doctor Wilkie and his wife and I had 475 00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:30.119 him on repeatedly twenty thirty years ago about a right to life. It began 476 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:36.880 here, and so the vote was taken and last November the vote was like 477 00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:42.159 fifty six or fifty seven percent for abortion in Ohio. In fact, whether 478 00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.840 it's Iowa or Michigan or whatever state, are you are you surprised, shocked, 479 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:51.119 dismayed by the idea that women in particular, Are you shocked by the 480 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:55.960 vote? So I actually excuse me, I actually live in Youngstown, Ohio. 481 00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.440 So I live in Ohio. I was one of the voters on the 482 00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:06.840 right side of that, you know, yes and no, because you know, 483 00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:10.960 I think there was so much misinformation pushed down the vote around the vote, 484 00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:14.960 and women were being told they wouldn't be able to get miscarriage care, 485 00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:19.199 and you know, like all these horrible lines that the Left had no problems 486 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:24.039 viewing because it set into their anti life, pro death agenda. And so 487 00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:28.880 no, I wasn't surprised just because the amount of money and misinformation that was 488 00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:32.920 surrounding that it was hard to combat on our side because we don't have billions 489 00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:37.360 of dollars pouring in from California and New York filling our agenda. Well, 490 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:42.119 you know, one thing, one thing I said Logan Church is that let's 491 00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:49.039 begin with the idea that healthy mothers and healthy babies should babies should be born. 492 00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.400 Now, there are unusual circumstances. I know in Kentucky they had this 493 00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:58.320 fourteen year old girl that was impregnated by her stepfather and it was terrible rapes 494 00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:01.239 taking place of her, and she was the She suddenly became the face of 495 00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:06.320 the entire issue. But if we can begin with the idea that there's so 496 00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:09.400 many means and methods for a woman and or a man not to cause a 497 00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:15.119 pregnancy or to be pregnant. There's so many things to do, including abstinence, 498 00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:21.119 including condoms, including birth control pills, including the Plan B. After 499 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.639 the event takes place, you have what two to four days to reconsider. 500 00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:29.199 You can take that you have so many ways, means and methods not to 501 00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:32.360 get pregnant, that if you get pregnant today, a woman gets pregnant, 502 00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:39.039 there's so many ways, including Plan B to resolve that two to four days 503 00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:44.840 after the event takes place. An abortion kills a beating heart, an abortion 504 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:50.920 kills a healthy baby. And so I know there's unusual circumstances where sex traffickers 505 00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:55.079 or a child, a woman, a girl thirteen fourteen, it's impregnated by 506 00:37:55.159 --> 00:38:00.840 who knows who, that she's completely controlled by the trafficker, lately controlled by 507 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:04.559 the stepfather, is confused and unhappy, doesn't know what to do. But 508 00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:08.639 just begin with the idea that healthy mothers giving birth to healthy babies is the 509 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:15.440 way the society continues. Shall we say and simply to say that we're going 510 00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:17.920 to have abortion on demand and states have voted against it. In fact, 511 00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:22.000 I don't think any state yet has banned abortion at the ballot box, which 512 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:27.320 I think is a commentary in our way of life. But they use the 513 00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.679 worst examples possible, which don't apply in ninety nine percent of the cases. 514 00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:36.960 So let me ask you this, we lastly logan Church of Catholic vote. 515 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.639 Can you tell us what you expect the court sometime in June to do? 516 00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:44.000 What? What would you what would you tell the court to do about these 517 00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:47.559 abortion pills across state lines, which violate often the rights of each state. 518 00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:52.559 What would you ask the court to do? Well? I think what I 519 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.719 want the court to do is probably pretty clear, you know. I think 520 00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:59.519 at the end of the day, you know, most I think we need 521 00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:01.519 to be looked into is this filly even safe in the first place. That's 522 00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:05.800 something that the court needs to address. You know, we rush disapproval in 523 00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:08.800 the two thousands, and you know, there have been so many reports of 524 00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:13.719 dangers to women, women dying from these pills, and so we need to 525 00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:16.480 be if you truly care about women's health, that's something first and foremost we 526 00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:20.400 have to pay attention to. And that's why the pro life movement, you 527 00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:22.000 know, I think is starting to shift and realize that that's what that's what 528 00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:24.280 the voters want to hear. They want to hear that you care about them, 529 00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:27.679 not just their baby. And so we do. We care about both 530 00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.719 the mother and the child, protects and both. And so that's that's step 531 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.039 one. Step two is you have to respect states legislation. You have to 532 00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:37.599 respect the people of the states what they want. And so if there's a 533 00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.079 pro life state, say like Alabama, or say like Mississippi, yeah, 534 00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:44.400 you absolutely should have to respect that. Because if the citizens they are supposed 535 00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:46.199 to respect the laws, how are they supposed to, you know, follow 536 00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:50.320 the law if you know, the powers that be say they don't have to. 537 00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:52.719 And so what type of standard are you setting? You know, if 538 00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:55.920 the people don't like the laws of their states, that they're welcome and free 539 00:39:55.960 --> 00:40:00.920 to move to a separate state. Well, we get the government with and 540 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.880 often that concerns me greatly, and I wish people would get into the issue 541 00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.320 and understand what's going on, but often they don't because these commercials that are 542 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:12.280 being around are terribly misleading.

I have a text here from an Andy. I won't give 589 00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:30.679 out his last name, but it begins with an S. He said to 590 00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:37.480 me, I'm so relieved that Joe Biden sent Pete Budajeg to take charge in 591 00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:42.079 addressing this tragedy in Baltimore. What a difference he'll make. Ask those in 592 00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:47.480 Palestine. Ohio. You may recall about eighteen months ago a train derailed with 593 00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:52.039 terrible consequences. It took really Senator JD. Vance to go up there a 594 00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:58.519 few weeks later to show the terrible circumstances that remained. And the old thing 595 00:43:58.639 --> 00:44:01.960 is that send the federal government to do a job. It'll be over budget, 596 00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:06.400 it will take too long and done poorly. That is the nature of 597 00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:10.480 the federal government and nature of most governments. And so we hope and anticipate 598 00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:15.960 that this particular bridge collapse occasioned by a large container ship, a cargo ship 599 00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:22.960 that lost power and veered off course by about one hundred yards, will be 600 00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:27.920 done in the next one to three years. In Cincinnati, the pres Bridge 601 00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:31.000 began about twenty years ago when Charlie Lucan says, you know, we have 602 00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:35.199 to plan to get a new bridge here. In Cincinnati, connecting the South 603 00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:38.199 and the North, Ohio, Michigan, Covington, Cincinnati. Now we're here, 604 00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:43.159 we are twenty years later, and we're still haven't put a shovel to 605 00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:46.480 dirt yet, although they're telling me that it's going to be done by twenty 606 00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:52.199 twenty nine, a close five years away to build a new bridge when there's 607 00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:59.039 no salvage requirement required below it. If this thing is done within three years, 608 00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:01.800 I think it would be a show to behave that quickly. But the 609 00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:06.679 idea that the federal government is ready to get on the job and get it 610 00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:09.880 done quickly would be a joke if it wasn't so funny. Because whenever these 611 00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:15.280 terrible, terrible, terrible events occur, it's always over budget, it always 612 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:20.599 takes much longer than anticipated. And I can't think it's going to take months 613 00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:23.840 just in a salvage operation before they can start planning for the bridge. But 614 00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:29.239 thank god there was a a made a issued and I have more information from 615 00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:32.719 Denny and Dayton, who has some pretty good information about what's going on. 616 00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:39.719 And Denny from Dayton relates to me, among other things, that this particular 617 00:45:39.800 --> 00:45:44.800 time, there wasn't a Harvard pilot that the crew itself is always in charge 618 00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:49.599 of what's going on, and that essentially the investigation will show that, he 619 00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:53.079 says to me, the captain never relinquishes command. The pilot is a navigator 620 00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:57.960 and advisor to the captain, whose crew continues to teer and operate the ship. 621 00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:01.679 The ship was built by Hyundai, so we'll see what happens down the 622 00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:06.360 road. But I think Denny from Dayton for that information. Let's continue with 623 00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:08.800 more. Stay tuned. How you can get involved in a great Reds community 624 00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:14.440 event. One thirty home of your Reds News Radio, seven hundred WLW, 625 00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:21.800 Cincinnati.

President Biden says search and rescue still top priority. With the one 630 00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:52.400 thirty report, I'm Jack Crumbley breaking now. Our prayers are with everyone involved 631 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:57.199 in this terrible action and all the families, especially those waiting for the news 632 00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:00.880 of their loved one. Right now, the President speaking just a few moments 633 00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:05.519 ago. The latest on the response to the Baltimore bridge crash and collapse from 634 00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:10.920 ABC News. This is a special report from ABC News Baltimore Bridge collapse. 635 00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:16.559 I'm Brian Clark. President Biden says he's ensuring federal resources are available to respond 636 00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:22.239 to the Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. Governor Wes Moore said the nine hundred 637 00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:27.559 and forty eight foot containership reported power problems before striking the bridge. We can 638 00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:34.880 confirm that the crew notified notified authorities of a power ship. Homeland security documents 639 00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:38.199 reviewed by ABC News confirmed there were no vehicles on the Key Bridge when it 640 00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:42.840 was hit by the ship. Six people are still missing, says ABC Sam 641 00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:46.079 Sweeney. This is an incredibly dangerous operation. Most of the bridge did fall 642 00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:50.039 down, but there are parts that are still dangling and they have to be 643 00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:54.599 worried about the rest of that falling down. So it's a very perilous operating 644 00:47:55.159 --> 00:48:00.760 environment for these first responders. Two people have been rescued. Now, questions 645 00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:04.599 about the impact this will have on shipping into the busy port of Baltimore. 646 00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:09.000 This is ABC News Now.

Your reaction is a lawyer, Well, Willie, 726 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:13.639 thanks for having me on the show. My reaction as a lawyer is a 727 00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:20.119 loss of power is certainly foreseeable. Whoever manufactured that boat or ran the boat, 728 00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:23.880 and so there's obviously a negligence claim out there and probably a huge class 729 00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:28.039 action. You know, not only the people got killed, but the people 730 00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:31.000 that are going to be affected by the bridge not being available. But for 731 00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:38.719 what years? I think they got clears. What's one of the most busiest 732 00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:43.159 ones in the world, That's what they said.

People like that. They'd love 736 00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:57.000 to get this case, wouldn't they? Oh, they would love it absolutely 737 00:54:57.320 --> 00:55:01.079 well, they're always interested in doing justice. It's not about the money for 738 00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:05.639 lawyers. It's about justice. Would you agree, correct, it's all segment 739 00:55:05.719 --> 00:55:07.880 think, it's all about money. It's not about money, it's about justice. 740 00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:13.679 It's justice and compensating the victims.

That coverage begins 831 01:01:58.199 --> 01:02:01.320 as Sports Talk at eight thirty five. Also tonight, Georgia, the Dogs 832 01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:07.360 are in Columbus to take on the Buckeyes. Xavier coaches Sean Miller is he 833 01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:15.440 leaving and his podcast said that star Desmond Claude will be undergoing a procedure to 834 01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:17.679 clean out his elbow in the off season. Oh oh, did he play 835 01:02:17.760 --> 01:02:22.199 for the Reds? No, not yet, going to Yukon Reds. Hold 836 01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:25.760 it work out in an inter squad game tomorrow in Great American Ballpark. Uh, 837 01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:30.039 and uh that's about it. You know, the umpire first base did 838 01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:34.480 a terrible job because I thought the runner was safe in that innsquad game. 839 01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:36.800 I don't know who that guy was. I don't either. You know, 840 01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:39.760 Well, I think it was a great call that guy was safe. Well, 841 01:02:40.199 --> 01:02:44.480 did anyone get hurt in the inner squad game. No one got hurt 842 01:02:44.519 --> 01:02:46.760 in the interest squad game. You know it's nice. It was a nice 843 01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:51.119 day yesterday. They allowed some fans in. I think there were season ticket 844 01:02:51.119 --> 01:02:53.360 holders or something, so there are actually people in the ballpark that enjoyed that 845 01:02:53.440 --> 01:02:57.280 game. Do you have hope? I have a lot of hope. Willy 846 01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:00.440 f tab Pure of ball this morning, tall me. He was predicting one 847 01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:06.519 hundred plus wins. I think he might be overly optimistic. I'm thinking more 848 01:03:06.599 --> 01:03:09.599 like eighty seven. Well, then he predicted the Bengals are going to beat 849 01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:14.079 the Chiefs. Yes, he did remember the trouble we got in there when 850 01:03:14.079 --> 01:03:17.320 he had the bet with the mayor of Kansas City.

Some of the guests include Bob Castellini and Dmitri Young and 870 01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:39.719 Marty Brenneman is going to be there, and it's going to be wonderful to 871 01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:43.440 Holy Holy Grail. Now look to your left. You got you got Sean 872 01:04:43.599 --> 01:04:47.360 Ditty Colemb's sex trafficking probe. The Ninja Warriors showed up at all of his 873 01:04:47.440 --> 01:04:51.280 houses, and they, like Parishi, took off for parts unknown in a 874 01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:57.639 private jet private jetties somewhere in the Caribbean. Ditty's home is rated as a 875 01:04:57.719 --> 01:05:00.119 lawyer, Randy freaking what do you say about? I know you'd like to 876 01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:02.920 sue people. This is kind of criminal. I would defend them to his 877 01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:06.960 last time. Will he? I like that? I like that approach you 878 01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:10.840 a justice. I'll get him out of jail. It takes me thirty years. 879 01:05:10.920 --> 01:05:13.679 If it takes me thirty years, he's got five hundred million dollars. 880 01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:15.360 We're going to work on your case right now. Yes, sir, I'll 881 01:05:15.360 --> 01:05:19.079 send you monthly bills. What do you think Donald Trump's bills look like? 882 01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:26.280 Oh you just laugh. I can't even imagine. According to the family, 883 01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:30.199 seventy five million so far and most of the bills haven't happened yet. Man, 884 01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:34.679 will he you know, no offense to his current lawyers, But I 885 01:05:34.679 --> 01:05:39.039 don't think he's really retaining the top notch lawyers in the country. You know, 886 01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:43.760 would you work for him? No? I would not. I would 887 01:05:43.800 --> 01:05:48.280 for enough money. Absolutely, But shall we say it's difficult have a client 888 01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:53.960 that's uncontrollable. But he's got a myriad multitude of issues every which right. 889 01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:58.320 Everywhere you look, you get more issues. He's like being in a beehive 890 01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:00.239 and you're the honeycomb they keep. I'm in India, Yes, sir, 891 01:06:01.639 --> 01:06:05.199 maybe he should come to the party tomorrow night at the more Line Logger else 892 01:06:05.320 --> 01:06:13.000 opingdayeve dot com only forty nine dollars and there's reserve tables available for sixty nine 893 01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:16.519 eighty nine diamond club tickets. The whole deal, the whole deal. It's 894 01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:21.679 a great party every year. It's the greatest party thrown in Cincinnati. I'll 895 01:06:21.719 --> 01:06:25.480 text back and forth with Eric Trump. I'll send him a little note that 896 01:06:25.519 --> 01:06:28.559 if the Donald's in the neighborhood, it's not up in Suitor and died it 897 01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:30.599 recently. Come on, buy it to my ballpark, the Great American He 898 01:06:30.639 --> 01:06:33.239 would make an appearance. Is that fair to say? Would that be something? 899 01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:39.519 Is that ballpark named after you? I related before the stories of Carl 900 01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:43.159 Linda that called me and I gave him permission to do so. Yes, 901 01:06:43.239 --> 01:06:47.559 sir, that's continuing Hopingdave dot Com, Randy freaking sue everyone you know segment 902 01:06:47.880 --> 01:06:51.000 get me out of the Student's Report, Willia and honor of tomorrow night's big 903 01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:57.519 event downtown at the Moorline House Opening Dayeve dot Com, You're going to represent 904 01:06:57.639 --> 01:07:00.559 someone to the last dime they have.

On seven hundred WLW join 908 01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:20.760 us for our twenty twenty four iHeartRadio Music Awards live from the Joldie Theater in 909 01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:30.400 Hollywood, Monday, April five. Bill Cunningham, the great American, Nate 910 01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:33.039 the Hawkin, who's been with the American Spectator, and he's looking at the 911 01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:38.559 false concept of the melting pop And I'm looking at the words, Nate that's 912 01:07:38.599 --> 01:07:41.679 on the base of the Statue of Liberty, among other things, it says, 913 01:07:41.960 --> 01:07:45.519 give me you're tired, give me your poor, your huddled masses yearning 914 01:07:45.599 --> 01:07:49.440 to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teamings yours these are great messages 915 01:07:49.480 --> 01:07:56.320 for the nineteenth century, may not apply today. And tell us in your 916 01:07:56.440 --> 01:07:59.639 view, you're with the American Spectator and you've written a column which I'm looking 917 01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:02.719 at right now now that in the past that the immigrants would come to America 918 01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:06.800 legally, go through Ellis Island or whatever, get in line, take five 919 01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:12.440 to ten years. Background checks are done, health checks are done, vaccinations 920 01:08:12.519 --> 01:08:15.079 up to date, no criminal record, maybe have a skill needed in this 921 01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:19.159 country. That is not what's happening on the southern border right now. Explain 922 01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:25.000 the differential. No, in many ways, it's the exact opposite. Actually, 923 01:08:25.079 --> 01:08:28.119 I mean, look, the words on the Statue of Liberty are beautiful 924 01:08:28.119 --> 01:08:32.119 words, and our history is such that we have often been a generous, 925 01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:36.920 welcoming country to many, many generations of immigrants. But all of that does 926 01:08:36.960 --> 01:08:43.760 not change the fact that you have to have a common sensical, national interest 927 01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:47.479 oriented immigration policy. Just because you're a welcoming, generous country does not mean 928 01:08:47.920 --> 01:08:51.920 that everyone in the world should be let into your country. And we traditionally 929 01:08:53.039 --> 01:08:58.079 understood that the words in the Statue of Liberty. Notwithstanding, the problem today 930 01:08:58.119 --> 01:09:00.760 is that the people coming into our country now now are very, very different 931 01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:03.920 from the people who came here at the end of the nineteenth century in the 932 01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:08.720 beginning of the twentieth, and that is having a very different impact on our 933 01:09:08.760 --> 01:09:12.159 country to yest. In fact, when I look at the immigrants from Africa 934 01:09:12.199 --> 01:09:17.039 that come here legally, they have generally more income, they work harder, 935 01:09:17.600 --> 01:09:23.600 They're ingratiate themselves into America legally because that's how they begin, and they do 936 01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:26.359 quite well. Of course, those on the radical left want to make it 937 01:09:26.399 --> 01:09:30.039 a racial argument, but because most of those coming on the southern border are 938 01:09:30.079 --> 01:09:34.960 persons of color, that somehow America further develops into a racist country going after 939 01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:40.439 them. But in reality, we freely welcome legal immigrants from Africa, the 940 01:09:40.479 --> 01:09:44.039 great majority of whom are black, and they do much better, and they're 941 01:09:44.079 --> 01:09:47.319 most welcome. And so if the first thing the immigrant does is to illegally 942 01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:51.920 cross the border, the second thing is to reside illegally in America. The 943 01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:58.880 third is to get illegal fraudulent identification. A long pattern of illegal behavior has 944 01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:03.640 been established in expecting their host and talk about the tribalization of America, because 945 01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:08.359 when you hear illegally, you're looking over your shoulder constantly. You don't have 946 01:10:08.399 --> 01:10:12.960 a sense that you belong And so how does that encourage the Balkanization of America. 947 01:10:14.520 --> 01:10:17.319 Well, part of it is just the fact that it is illegal versus 948 01:10:17.359 --> 01:10:19.319 illegal. I mean, that's a part of it. As you said. 949 01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:23.840 The other thing though, that we have to have a conversation about, is 950 01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:27.920 just the sheer scale of immigration. It's one thing, you know, the 951 01:10:28.039 --> 01:10:31.399 number of African immigrants, for example, who are coming over legally legally, 952 01:10:31.800 --> 01:10:35.800 it's a much smaller number, first of all, and because they are coming 953 01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:41.840 over legally and they're going through the process, they're often the sort of cream 954 01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:44.920 of the crops. They're the very best people from you know, places like 955 01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:48.720 Nigeria. They have college degrees, they contribute to society, et cetera, 956 01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:53.039 et cetera. And if you actually look at the statistics, African immigrants who 957 01:10:53.079 --> 01:10:58.760 come here legally are wealthier than white people in America. So they do quite 958 01:10:58.760 --> 01:11:01.439 well for themselves, you know, so much for white privilege. The difference 959 01:11:01.520 --> 01:11:04.760 is the people who are coming over, whether it's from Africa, from South 960 01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:10.439 America, et cetera, illegally, they're coming in much much larger numbers, 961 01:11:10.680 --> 01:11:14.239 and they're very very different because they aren't going through the background checks, the 962 01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:18.319 vetting process, et cetera. And because they're coming over at such large scale, 963 01:11:18.479 --> 01:11:23.279 they're effectively bringing their country with them to America. So, you know, 964 01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:27.960 the Haiti example was one that I used in my column recently because of 965 01:11:28.039 --> 01:11:30.439 everything that's going on in Haiti right now, where the entire country is basically 966 01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:34.520 collapsed. It's a failed state, and millions of Haitians want to come to 967 01:11:34.600 --> 01:11:40.039 America. Well, when you bring millions of people from any country into your 968 01:11:40.119 --> 01:11:44.000 country all at once, your country ends up looking more like the one that 969 01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:46.399 they came from. It's just common sense. So we have to look at 970 01:11:46.399 --> 01:11:50.600 the countries these people are coming from when they're coming here on mass at scale, 971 01:11:50.920 --> 01:11:54.640 and ask ourselves, honestly, do we want to be more like the 972 01:11:54.680 --> 01:11:57.479 countries that these people are coming from. And if you look at the condition 973 01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:00.239 of a place like Haiti or a place that a lot of these other people 974 01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:03.840 are coming from, the answer to me obviously seems no. Well, let's 975 01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:11.119 talk about failed states all over Central America South America. Venezuela, which was 976 01:12:11.159 --> 01:12:15.520 the richest country in South America by far twenty five years ago, has gone 977 01:12:15.560 --> 01:12:19.000 through socialism with Chavez and Madora and at this point, Venezuelans want to come 978 01:12:19.039 --> 01:12:24.279 in, Haitians want to come in, and Somalians want to come in. 979 01:12:24.439 --> 01:12:28.159 They came to this country as Somalians. And I've read some of the writings 980 01:12:28.199 --> 01:12:32.359 of elin Omar and others that when they come to this country. Omar was 981 01:12:32.399 --> 01:12:36.720 in a refugee camp in Somalia. Somehow she was plucked out of that camp, 982 01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:42.319 and within fifteen years she's a United States Congressman. And she still considers 983 01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:46.159 herself wearing the garb of Somalian refugees and is always crapping on this country. 984 01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:50.880 And she talks about that they came to this country as Somalians and this country 985 01:12:50.920 --> 01:12:57.399 gave them no reason to rethink or abandon their identity. They stay Somalians inside 986 01:12:57.399 --> 01:13:00.640 of America. How does that benefit us? What I used, did they 987 01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:05.399 bring to this country? If they want to be Somalians living in America the 988 01:13:05.479 --> 01:13:11.039 opposite of benefiting us. It does irreparable harm to our country. And you 989 01:13:11.039 --> 01:13:15.600 know, Ilhan Omar is a perfect example of someone who you know. Just 990 01:13:15.760 --> 01:13:18.600 again, if we're just being honest, Somalia is one of the worst countries 991 01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:21.960 in the world. I know people don't like talking about other countries that way. 992 01:13:23.159 --> 01:13:26.439 It's just true. There's a reason that people in Somalia wants to come 993 01:13:26.479 --> 01:13:30.079 to America. Nobody in America wants to go live in Somalia. That's just 994 01:13:30.119 --> 01:13:33.880 an objective fact. America, out of the generosity of her heart, gave 995 01:13:33.960 --> 01:13:39.520 Ilhan Omar and her family refuge in this country, and as you pointed out, 996 01:13:39.560 --> 01:13:42.079 she reaped the benefits of that. She went to college, she was 997 01:13:42.159 --> 01:13:46.439 elected to the United States Congress within the space of a couple of decades. 998 01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:53.520 And her response is not to be extremely grateful to America, but to constantly 999 01:13:53.640 --> 01:13:58.159 lecture us about how awful we are. And you know, these comments that 1000 01:13:58.199 --> 01:14:02.239 she made at a speech about some Malia in Minneapolis leaked recently where she's openly 1001 01:14:02.279 --> 01:14:10.560 boasting to a predominantly Somalian immigrant population in the crowd about how she's serving Somalian 1002 01:14:10.680 --> 01:14:14.079 interests while serving in the United States Congress. Well, we used to have 1003 01:14:14.079 --> 01:14:15.520 a word for that, and there was treason. And I think if this 1004 01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:19.760 country had the self confidence that it used to have, where we're actually willing 1005 01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:24.720 to demand that immigrants who come here are loyal to this country and own this 1006 01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:27.920 country, we would treat it as such, but because we no longer have 1007 01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:31.479 the confidence to say to someone like ilhan Omar, that's unacceptable. If you 1008 01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:34.159 don't like this country the way that it is, you know, the door 1009 01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:38.159 is right there. If we still had that confidence, we would be able 1010 01:14:38.199 --> 01:14:41.319 to say that, but we don't any more. Unfortunately, Night hackem Let's 1011 01:14:41.399 --> 01:14:45.640 jump ahead a few years. The last three years have been unmitigated disasters on 1012 01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:50.239 the southern border, and the Democratic Party, like many other despotic regimes around 1013 01:14:50.279 --> 01:14:55.119 the world, want to imprison the leader of the opposition. Wants to bankrupt 1014 01:14:55.119 --> 01:14:58.000 that person. They don't want to kill him yet, because I look at 1015 01:14:58.000 --> 01:15:00.560 what Russia did and the Russia tear attack, what they did to the four 1016 01:15:00.600 --> 01:15:04.520 people involved in shooting up that theater. I don't think they were given their 1017 01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:09.399 miranda rights before their ears were cut off and they were forced to eat their 1018 01:15:09.399 --> 01:15:12.800 own ears. I look at the status of those three and a look at 1019 01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:15.600 what's happening around the world. We don't want to come have brought into this 1020 01:15:15.680 --> 01:15:20.119 country individuals who don't want to be Americans. They want to stay at Somalians 1021 01:15:20.319 --> 01:15:26.840 and take advantage of our welfare state. There's also a video making the rounds 1022 01:15:27.159 --> 01:15:30.920 of how someone can gain the system quickly, get somebody pregnant, have a 1023 01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:35.000 child born in America, and then that begins, begins somebody called chain migration. 1024 01:15:35.479 --> 01:15:40.279 If you're the father or mother of an American citizen born in this country 1025 01:15:40.279 --> 01:15:45.640 who is three weeks old, what happens to the entire family? Right? 1026 01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:50.800 They become American citizens, right right? And that's the goal. The goal 1027 01:15:50.880 --> 01:15:55.359 is to game the system. The other immigrants that came here wanted to get 1028 01:15:55.359 --> 01:15:59.239 to work. When African immigrants come here, they want to get to work. 1029 01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:01.079 They're engineers, their doctors, they want to work. That's not the 1030 01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:05.840 case on southern border who come from failed states and socialists regimes who want to 1031 01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:10.640 gain the system. Let's jump ahead about three, four, five, six 1032 01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:13.960 years. Hopefully you and I will still be here, and let's have the 1033 01:16:14.359 --> 01:16:18.239 nightmare continuing beginning in November the fifth of this year. And here we are 1034 01:16:19.039 --> 01:16:25.520 in twenty thirty, and we've had another forty to fifty million. There's polling 1035 01:16:25.560 --> 01:16:30.399 that indicates there's an additional four hundred million human beings who want to come to 1036 01:16:30.439 --> 01:16:34.520 America. The southern border is wide open. The US Census takes place in 1037 01:16:34.560 --> 01:16:41.359 twenty thirty which deals with persons and not citizens, and so the power shift 1038 01:16:41.399 --> 01:16:44.479 to the Congress is going to be great. What does America look like in 1039 01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:49.479 twenty thirty twenty thirty five if the Democrats and their progressive friends stay in charge. 1040 01:16:49.880 --> 01:16:53.720 Well, again, just to be candid, not the kind of country 1041 01:16:53.840 --> 01:16:56.159 that I would like to pass on to my children. You know, I'm 1042 01:16:56.359 --> 01:16:59.960 twenty five years old, so I'm still pretty young. But I'm looking around 1043 01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:02.000 the country that I grew up in, the country that I was born in, 1044 01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:04.239 the country that I love, the country that I will die in, 1045 01:17:04.920 --> 01:17:10.560 and it, increasingly, I'm worried, looks unrecognizable. And that is in 1046 01:17:10.640 --> 01:17:15.000 no small part because of mass immigration. And the other thing is just again, 1047 01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:18.239 we have to be honest about this. One of the reasons that the 1048 01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:24.119 Democrats are so unwilling to do anything at all to stem the mass tide of 1049 01:17:24.319 --> 01:17:29.760 immigration coming into our country is because they perceive correctly that it makes it easier 1050 01:17:29.760 --> 01:17:32.520 for them to win elections and more difficult for Republicans to win elections. The 1051 01:17:32.520 --> 01:17:36.399 people who are coming over the border, by and large are not Republicans. 1052 01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:42.079 They vote Democrats for a variety of different reasons. And you have seen states 1053 01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:45.960 like Arizona, Virginia. You can go down the line change from red to 1054 01:17:46.079 --> 01:17:51.920 purple to blue largely as a result of this phenomenon. So we can't discount 1055 01:17:51.960 --> 01:17:57.600 that as one of the primary reasons that Democrats are completely unwilling. You know, 1056 01:17:57.640 --> 01:18:00.920 they used to actually talk a big game about border security. At least 1057 01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:03.560 all of that is completely out the window. And I think that's at least 1058 01:18:03.600 --> 01:18:09.039 partially because they understand that it helps their electoral prospects, and Republicans need to 1059 01:18:09.119 --> 01:18:12.720 understand that this is a matter of survival for the party if nothing else, 1060 01:18:13.359 --> 01:18:15.920 to be able to actually get a hold on this and stem the tide of 1061 01:18:15.960 --> 01:18:18.920 mass immigration. And then, Hawkem, I'm looking at a column you wrote 1062 01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:24.920 a few months ago. Some complain that Donald Trump did not do enough on 1063 01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:29.680 the southern border to institutionalize a system that lets in the right kind of people 1064 01:18:29.920 --> 01:18:32.199 and doesn't let in the wrong kind of people. You make the point that 1065 01:18:32.600 --> 01:18:39.760 there was a sabotage and revolt inside the Republican Party to stop Donald Trump. 1066 01:18:40.159 --> 01:18:45.119 Explain, right, well, look for those of us who it's a top 1067 01:18:45.159 --> 01:18:48.079 priority. For for those of us who border security and immigration are top priority, 1068 01:18:48.399 --> 01:18:53.359 obviously there were disappointments about the Trump administration. You know, he ran 1069 01:18:53.520 --> 01:18:59.199 primarily on immigration in twenty sixteen, and he wasn't able to get sort of 1070 01:18:59.199 --> 01:19:03.399 a full comprehensive solution across the finish line. But you also have to understand 1071 01:19:03.439 --> 01:19:06.760 that this is a president who was fought not just by Democrats, not just 1072 01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:10.920 by all of our other institutions, big tech, the media, but by 1073 01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:15.720 his own party establishment tooth and nail every step of the way, including or 1074 01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:19.600 even especially on immigration. Because the old Republican Party, the sort of chamber 1075 01:19:19.600 --> 01:19:25.760 of commerce business Republican Party, they in many ways were the architects of some 1076 01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:28.439 of the worst mistakes on immigration of the last few decades. You know, 1077 01:19:28.479 --> 01:19:33.439 it was George Bush who pushed amnesty. So the remnants of that Republican Party 1078 01:19:33.439 --> 01:19:38.159 have never liked Donald Trump, and in no small part the reason they dislike 1079 01:19:38.239 --> 01:19:43.319 Trump so much is because he is diametrically opposed to them on immigration and the 1080 01:19:43.359 --> 01:19:47.279 border. And before we can even have a conversation about fighting Democrats on this 1081 01:19:47.319 --> 01:19:50.199 issue, we have to get our own house in order. And what the 1082 01:19:50.239 --> 01:19:56.840 Trump presidency demonstrated is that there are a substantial number of old school establishment Republicans 1083 01:19:57.079 --> 01:20:00.720 who are not anywhere where they need to be, anywhere to where they need 1084 01:20:00.760 --> 01:20:02.680 to be on the issue of immigration, and you know, Nate, the 1085 01:20:02.760 --> 01:20:09.279 Democrats are like packs of dogs you rarely see with hyenas and wild dogs. 1086 01:20:09.319 --> 01:20:13.039 Suddenly two or three go off the other direction. There's a leader, and 1087 01:20:13.119 --> 01:20:15.520 everyone gets behind the leader, and whatever the leader does, whatever the leader 1088 01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:20.359 goes, the Democrats go. Republicans are like cats trying to hurt cats as 1089 01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:25.760 impossible. Democrats are dogs, and you never Right now, there's a one 1090 01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:30.319 vote majority in the House of Representatives, one vote. When George Santos did 1091 01:20:30.319 --> 01:20:34.800 what he did, the Republicans he was a loyal Republican Congressman from Long Islan 1092 01:20:34.840 --> 01:20:39.560 who was a crook, But what they did was make sure that he was 1093 01:20:39.680 --> 01:20:43.880 kicked out of Congress and kicked out of the Republican Party. But when Menendez 1094 01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:47.000 of New Jersey, a Democrat in the Senate, also a criminal, and 1095 01:20:47.600 --> 01:20:51.000 he took as many bribes as Jim Biden, Joe Biden, Jim Biden, 1096 01:20:51.039 --> 01:20:57.319 Hunter Biden is taken and the Democrats made sure that Menenda stayed in the Senate 1097 01:20:57.399 --> 01:21:00.640 because they had a one vote majority, they weren't going to give that up. 1098 01:21:00.640 --> 01:21:04.000 So once again the dogs, the Democrats all went the same direction under 1099 01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:10.640 Chuck Schumer. The Republicans are the cats, and the media demanded the George 1100 01:21:10.640 --> 01:21:14.079 Santo has been kicked out of the Republican Party, and now they're down to 1101 01:21:14.119 --> 01:21:16.479 a one vote majority, which is not a majority at all. Now for 1102 01:21:16.520 --> 01:21:20.640 two weeks the Congress is out of session. Why in the media demand that 1103 01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:25.840 Mendeddees to be kicked out as a US Senator. Well, of course, 1104 01:21:26.680 --> 01:21:29.920 I think you and your listeners both know the answer to that question, which 1105 01:21:29.960 --> 01:21:34.119 is that the media is one in the tank for Democrats. It's been that 1106 01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:39.560 way for a while, but it's become much more militant and much more pronounced 1107 01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:43.359 over the course of the last six years or so. The media was always 1108 01:21:43.399 --> 01:21:46.039 they always had a liberal bias, but now, unlike you know, the 1109 01:21:46.119 --> 01:21:50.479 sort of old school liberal media, they really see themselves as activists, and 1110 01:21:50.520 --> 01:21:57.319 they see themselves, either explicitly or implicitly, as dedicated to making sure that 1111 01:21:57.359 --> 01:22:00.199 Republicans don't win elections, that Conservatives day out of power, and that left 1112 01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:04.239 wingers and Democrats stay in power. So this is why, you know, 1113 01:22:04.279 --> 01:22:08.680 the Democrats are just better at politics. Than the Republicans. And we're not 1114 01:22:08.720 --> 01:22:14.279 really going to have a chance of actually beating the Democrats comprehensively and winning real 1115 01:22:14.399 --> 01:22:18.840 victories until Republicans actually figure out how to do politics in the same way that 1116 01:22:18.880 --> 01:22:23.920 the Democrats do, and that starts with not taking your tees from the media. 1117 01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:27.479 It doesn't matter how many hit pieces they write on George Santos or whoever. 1118 01:22:27.960 --> 01:22:31.000 You know, you need those Republicans to maintain your majority and to be 1119 01:22:31.039 --> 01:22:35.039 able to do what your voters sent you to Congress to do. And you 1120 01:22:35.119 --> 01:22:39.239 have to just learn how to not care what the media says and how many 1121 01:22:39.279 --> 01:22:43.920 questions people ask you a press conference is because you serve your voters, not 1122 01:22:44.079 --> 01:22:45.279 the New York Times at the Total Board. Well, lastly, I would 1123 01:22:45.319 --> 01:22:49.279 say this that Media Research Center keeps track of these stories. They watch everything 1124 01:22:49.319 --> 01:22:54.680 so you don't have to. And for every one story about Menendez, the 1125 01:22:54.760 --> 01:22:59.880 Senator from New Jersey as or crook, there were fourteen stories about George Santos. 1126 01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:02.960 The media understood that they had to get rid of George Santos because of 1127 01:23:03.000 --> 01:23:08.479 the slim majority in the House for Republicans, and they worked and worked and 1128 01:23:08.520 --> 01:23:13.399 worked and worked, especially seeing an MSNBC New York Times until Santos was gone, 1129 01:23:13.680 --> 01:23:17.039 But they did not have the same rules with Menendez, the crook from 1130 01:23:17.039 --> 01:23:20.119 New Jersey, because after all, there was a one vote majority in the 1131 01:23:20.159 --> 01:23:26.560 Senate and the media knew that the Democrats could not afford ABC, NBCCBS, 1132 01:23:26.600 --> 01:23:31.119 most of the newspapers are really the pr arm of the Democratic Party and they 1133 01:23:31.159 --> 01:23:34.079 take their marching orders. We don't have an independent press, we have a 1134 01:23:34.159 --> 01:23:41.359 codependent press. And even Ronald McDaniel was taken a task by NBC Chuck Todd 1135 01:23:41.399 --> 01:23:45.600 and others for being a voice of Republicanism. She did a terrible job as 1136 01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:48.840 the chair of the Republican Party. But nonetheless, when NBC News hired her 1137 01:23:49.119 --> 01:23:54.640 to be the voice of the Republican Party, there was a revolt among the 1138 01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:59.600 NBC staffers of anger because there might be a different viewpoint on MSNBC. The 1139 01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:01.640 media and want that. But once again, Nate Hawkman, I've read your 1140 01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:06.920 stuff for many years. Good stuff here about the immigrant population coming in is 1141 01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:11.720 different than ever before. And Nate Hawkman, once again, thank you for 1142 01:24:11.800 --> 01:24:14.880 coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and with your permission, we'll do it 1143 01:24:14.920 --> 01:24:17.560 again. Thank you, Nate. Thanks Bill I really appreciate it. Let's 1144 01:24:17.560 --> 01:24:21.000 continue with more if the line becomes available, which it never does.

You know, Rock Matt Reese has digitized a whole 1160 01:25:41.039 --> 01:25:45.560 bunch of history here, including Bob Trumpy with Wade Hoyt and Bob Trumpy earlier. 1161 01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:47.640 Mike McConnell know it. Now, let's go on to some issues. 1162 01:25:47.680 --> 01:25:50.560 I like to deal with issues. Yes, segment brought it up an hour 1163 01:25:50.600 --> 01:25:56.880 ago. Pete Rose said he wishes he had an interpreter back in nineteen eighty 1164 01:25:56.920 --> 01:26:01.199 ninety scot Free and that's funny, but there was a basketball player with the 1165 01:26:01.279 --> 01:26:05.520 Raptors pulled him out. That's right, he took him out of the game, 1166 01:26:05.800 --> 01:26:12.520 him out of he didn't play last night. What did the Bernie bickerstaff, 1167 01:26:12.560 --> 01:26:16.199 the Detroit Pistons coach was getting threats. There was a couple of players 1168 01:26:16.199 --> 01:26:23.239 on the Indiana Pacers getting threats, So Showtani's rep set. At one point 1169 01:26:23.479 --> 01:26:27.319 he paid off the four point five million for his interpreter. The next day 1170 01:26:28.079 --> 01:26:32.319 they revised and extended those remarks and said he did not pay four point five 1171 01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:38.279 million to the interpreter. And this player for the Raptors, it was like 1172 01:26:38.279 --> 01:26:41.399 a four and a half if he made over four and a half field goals 1173 01:26:42.039 --> 01:26:45.319 over wins, and he allegedly bet under so he couldn't make another field goal 1174 01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:49.119 in his mind, and he was missing shots, including layups, and it's 1175 01:26:49.199 --> 01:26:53.720 like, well, no, wait a minute, and we're surprised this this 1176 01:26:53.800 --> 01:26:57.840 is happening. Seg Man was surprised. Yes, really, you can guarantee 1177 01:26:57.840 --> 01:27:00.680 you're going to miss a shot, but you can't get you're going to make 1178 01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:03.319 a shot. So you can guarantee I can miss this shot, but you 1179 01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:06.920 can't guarantee I'm going to make a shot. And lunchly there were tens of 1180 01:27:06.960 --> 01:27:10.960 thousands and bets. What is this going to do to sports? If people 1181 01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:15.000 think that the matyors that they're watching that are supposed to be giving it they're 1182 01:27:15.039 --> 01:27:17.840 all for the sake of them, the glory of the game, are found 1183 01:27:17.840 --> 01:27:23.119 out to be shaving points and throwing games and maybe not giving a good effort 1184 01:27:23.159 --> 01:27:27.840 and affecting their bets. The mess. It'll be a mess. I'm always 1185 01:27:27.880 --> 01:27:31.319 major sports organizations are going to curse the day they wrap their arms around gambling 1186 01:27:31.359 --> 01:27:34.119 this much. They get it for money, like government has wrapped their arms 1187 01:27:34.119 --> 01:27:40.000 around gambling because of money. Yeah, and pot and marijuana and also other 1188 01:27:40.039 --> 01:27:45.119 illegal substances. What's the next prostitution? I don't know, yeah at this 1189 01:27:45.279 --> 01:27:48.479 point, but Shane, either that or another drug though they'll make like you 1190 01:27:48.479 --> 01:27:53.279 know, mushrooms will be legal or whatever. So the Dodgers spend what seven 1191 01:27:53.359 --> 01:27:56.479 hundred million dollars, why would you bet? Of course, in the first 1192 01:27:56.520 --> 01:27:59.880 two or three years is at the league minimum. However, you're still making 1193 01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:02.159 two three hundred thousand dollars. But in LA that's not a lot of money. 1194 01:28:02.359 --> 01:28:06.279 Right now, he's making more money than the US Treasury, and so 1195 01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:10.920 why would you bet? And you bet through a surrogate. Like the guy 1196 01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:15.760 you see who got the call from the Alabama coach baseball that wall store pitchers 1197 01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:18.159 not going in about an hour. He hustles down to a betting place and 1198 01:28:18.239 --> 01:28:24.439 puts a large wager on Alabama to lose baseball, and that went up went 1199 01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:28.560 a wait, well you're betting how much on Alabama baseball to lose? And 1200 01:28:28.640 --> 01:28:31.079 that was like a red flag. They checked it out and the guy got 1201 01:28:31.079 --> 01:28:34.239 in trouble. You always use a surrogate, never do it yourself. Pete 1202 01:28:34.279 --> 01:28:39.119 Rose. Generally bet through a surrogate, right, And but the people that 1203 01:28:39.159 --> 01:28:42.399 are doing that think that that's going to cover them. But of course isn't 1204 01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:45.239 people investigate such things are smart and they know you're not going to play to 1205 01:28:45.239 --> 01:28:48.640 bet yourselves. But okay, who's in your closest person to them? You 1206 01:28:48.680 --> 01:28:51.960 would use this segment or you would use Eddie fingers, use Eddy fingers the 1207 01:28:53.079 --> 01:28:57.880 hair. I look, I I we have the you know, South Carolina 1208 01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:02.600 North Carolina game tomorrow. I was just in the coaches meeting. Coaches told 1209 01:29:02.600 --> 01:29:06.880 me their quarterback isn't gonna play and also their star wide receivers hurt. So 1210 01:29:08.119 --> 01:29:11.920 boom, here's the line, here's the money to make a bet. About 1211 01:29:11.920 --> 01:29:15.840 a month ago, the Kansas Jayhawks are playing in the conference tournament. Unbeknownst 1212 01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:18.680 to many, their two best players, star players, weren't gonna play the 1213 01:29:18.760 --> 01:29:23.279 line on Kansas. They were up seven and then they win by seven. 1214 01:29:23.319 --> 01:29:26.000 They went down to win by two and they lost. Anyway. I think 1215 01:29:26.039 --> 01:29:29.960 you see beat them or some beat them. And if somebody knew that ahead 1216 01:29:29.960 --> 01:29:31.800 of time, either beat them by twenty, beat them by close, and 1217 01:29:31.880 --> 01:29:35.239 so what are we doing here? And it's like, well, uh, 1218 01:29:35.399 --> 01:29:40.479 you have to police yourself. And these betting parlor segment tells me. It 1219 01:29:40.560 --> 01:29:43.760 used to be one of my Ballpark the Great American But they took it outside, 1220 01:29:43.920 --> 01:29:46.439 MGM took it outside because nobody was going to the betting parlor. Now 1221 01:29:46.479 --> 01:29:50.680 it's packed in stack next to the Holy Grail. And so we didn't bet 1222 01:29:50.720 --> 01:29:56.079 anywhere. Now right at a casino anything you sitting there show on your phone, 1223 01:29:56.159 --> 01:29:59.319 right exactly. That's what Lance mcallish are telling me. That good thing 1224 01:29:59.359 --> 01:30:01.920 for some about freedom and libertarian and do what you want. But is that 1225 01:30:02.199 --> 01:30:06.079 a good thing for a person or society to be able to bet at any 1226 01:30:06.119 --> 01:30:10.560 single moment of any single It used to be difficult to bet. You had 1227 01:30:10.600 --> 01:30:14.319 to go get your car really really want to make a bet. Now I 1228 01:30:14.399 --> 01:30:17.560 know people that that you can place bets during the game, during the game, 1229 01:30:17.600 --> 01:30:20.520 not before the game, not no no oy. Hey all right, 1230 01:30:20.560 --> 01:30:26.159 well now there's this prop bet and pull out the phone parlays and everything else. 1231 01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:30.720 What you be interestinggency in like ten years was is this a good experiment 1232 01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:33.239 that Ohio just went through or not? So? I think there's a few 1233 01:30:33.279 --> 01:30:36.159 states that doesn't have it right now. It used to be Ohio was an 1234 01:30:36.159 --> 01:30:40.600 outlier. Now it's kind of normal. And I don't know what to say 1235 01:30:40.720 --> 01:30:44.439 that don't have it as California, which which is unbelievable, just unbelievable. 1236 01:30:44.439 --> 01:30:48.439 I have everything else. Otani needs money like a carter needs pills. I 1237 01:30:48.439 --> 01:30:55.640 mean, but this interpreter, why would his repersent Otani's reps say Otani gave 1238 01:30:55.720 --> 01:30:59.680 him the money to pay the bookie And the next day they said, oh, 1239 01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:02.039 he didn't give him the money. He needs to get some better representation 1240 01:31:04.119 --> 01:31:08.560 and freaking and say look, here's a pre statement and then shut the hell 1241 01:31:08.640 --> 01:31:11.479 up. No, you're rolling, shut your mouth. But at that point 1242 01:31:11.720 --> 01:31:15.039 I would have to assume they had evidence based upon the idea that Otani paid 1243 01:31:15.079 --> 01:31:17.279 off the bets to the illegal bookie. That's why they said it, to 1244 01:31:17.279 --> 01:31:20.039 make it look as if he was helping a friend to help a friend in 1245 01:31:20.119 --> 01:31:23.880 need for four and a half million dollars. No, I got a lot 1246 01:31:23.920 --> 01:31:25.920 of friends. I ain't help him for four and a half million bucks. 1247 01:31:25.960 --> 01:31:29.880 Say seg, would you help a friend for four and a half mil if 1248 01:31:29.920 --> 01:31:31.880 he's giving it to me? Yeah. But the answer to or the question 1249 01:31:31.960 --> 01:31:35.760 about why are they gambling? Why is this guy who has millions and millions 1250 01:31:35.800 --> 01:31:41.239 of dollar has millions of dollars in endorsements, nothing else to do? Nothing, 1251 01:31:41.279 --> 01:31:44.119 else, and that's a big part of baseball, a lot of downtime 1252 01:31:45.479 --> 01:31:48.000 board or you know. You ask any gambler, I asked Pete Road. 1253 01:31:48.239 --> 01:31:51.840 It's the excitement. It's not the money. It's the win or the loss. 1254 01:31:53.039 --> 01:31:56.000 Right. A lot of people love to lose because it confirms their view 1255 01:31:56.039 --> 01:31:58.960 of themself as a loser. So they keep wanting to lose. Because I 1256 01:31:58.960 --> 01:32:01.439 know I'm a loser. I'm a human piece of excrement, and therefore I 1257 01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:04.119 want to feel bad. I'm going to do things to make me feel bad. 1258 01:32:04.279 --> 01:32:06.720 I want to bet so I feel bad, and then when you win, 1259 01:32:08.000 --> 01:32:10.119 you want to get rid of that win because you want to feel bad. 1260 01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:13.520 You know what I'm saying. Say it's paranoid, schizophrentic with effective components. 1261 01:32:13.520 --> 01:32:15.640 You know what I'm saying. This show Yeah, anyway, would you 1262 01:32:15.680 --> 01:32:18.439 ever use eddie fingers to make a bet? No? I have not. 1263 01:32:18.840 --> 01:32:23.199 In my mother's life, have never placed a wager on a sporting that I 1264 01:32:23.239 --> 01:32:28.399 won't. I I purposefully don't learn the ins and outs of gambling because I 1265 01:32:28.439 --> 01:32:30.720 just don't want to be tempted by it. Not with what I do, 1266 01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:32.960 I just can't do it. And you got a bridge expert coming on, 1267 01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:36.479 there's this ship right to your left. Yeah, flickered on, flickered off 1268 01:32:36.520 --> 01:32:39.680 and all of a sudden. So so the big, the big thing I 1269 01:32:39.680 --> 01:32:42.279 heard this morning. A lot of the people on TV were like, oh, 1270 01:32:42.319 --> 01:32:45.279 well, it looked like the you know, the pier that was holding 1271 01:32:45.359 --> 01:32:48.000 up the middle of the bridge was too small and was there enough safety things? 1272 01:32:48.600 --> 01:32:51.720 And I talked to my buddy, Kevin Brem. He's a big bridge 1273 01:32:51.720 --> 01:32:56.279 builder, it's what he does, and he's like, these they have these 1274 01:32:56.319 --> 01:33:00.239 mechanisms called dolphins, and it's like some sort of under goes und it's underneath 1275 01:33:00.279 --> 01:33:02.920 the water in the pier where if something hits it, it kind of divers, 1276 01:33:03.039 --> 01:33:08.920 he said. But it's exorbitantly expensive and the older bridges don't have it. 1277 01:33:09.560 --> 01:33:14.199 So what are we talking about with this? You physically can't build these 1278 01:33:14.239 --> 01:33:17.600 things on bridges, and there's too much money needed in too many other places. 1279 01:33:17.720 --> 01:33:21.399 That's what people don't want to face the reality of is we can't, 1280 01:33:23.159 --> 01:33:27.239 you know, can't fortify everything to the nth degree because everything the money needs 1281 01:33:27.279 --> 01:33:30.199 to go everywhere. Randy freaking On about an hour ago said that this will 1282 01:33:30.239 --> 01:33:34.079 take ten years to resolve. There's millions of victims, including the glass action 1283 01:33:34.239 --> 01:33:38.600 lossits I'm sure, and the company's collectible, and it's going to take years 1284 01:33:38.600 --> 01:33:43.399 to rebuild this bridge, and there's inconvenience factor. And all it took was 1285 01:33:43.439 --> 01:33:45.800 a how many people did go across that bridge at thirty five thousand? So 1286 01:33:46.159 --> 01:33:49.479 the story now is that the boat's power went out. That's why the lights 1287 01:33:49.479 --> 01:33:53.359 were flickering, lickering on and off, and then he lost control. So 1288 01:33:53.399 --> 01:33:56.399 when the power goes out, you lose the ability to steer them. And 1289 01:33:56.479 --> 01:33:59.640 he needed a backup generator, a backup, a backup, a backup that 1290 01:33:59.720 --> 01:34:02.119 he did send a May day out May they made a flight. The police 1291 01:34:02.159 --> 01:34:06.199 held the traffic back just a little bit, a little bit what they could 1292 01:34:06.520 --> 01:34:10.760 forty am not thank god, there wasn't a lot of traffic at one forty 1293 01:34:10.760 --> 01:34:14.119 in the morning. And I'm reading on the Wall Street Journal that most of 1294 01:34:14.159 --> 01:34:20.680 the most of the cars that leave America to foreign ports leave this particular port, 1295 01:34:20.760 --> 01:34:26.920 and eight hundred and fifty thousand cars a year they're not going anywhere because 1296 01:34:27.000 --> 01:34:29.600 they are not going How long is that going to sit there? And agriculture, 1297 01:34:29.800 --> 01:34:33.199 how many how much traffic across that bridge is there. Well, thirty 1298 01:34:33.239 --> 01:34:38.319 five thousand cars, maybe seventy thousand people, thirty five thousand cars a day, 1299 01:34:38.520 --> 01:34:41.680 a day a day, and all of a sudden that that's not gonna 1300 01:34:41.680 --> 01:34:45.680 be available for another ten years. Ten years. They got to they got 1301 01:34:45.800 --> 01:34:49.039 to tear down the old one and then build a new one. No, 1302 01:34:49.600 --> 01:34:54.560 it'll be it'll be eight years. Well the BS companion bridges, they say 1303 01:34:54.600 --> 01:34:58.600 three to five years. Now is that the main bridge or the supplementary bridge? 1304 01:34:58.640 --> 01:35:00.920 This is the main bridge. We have three bridges. We have the 1305 01:35:00.920 --> 01:35:02.520 one that's there now, a new one, and then a companion. Well 1306 01:35:02.520 --> 01:35:05.319 we're gonna have the one there now in a companion bridge. That's two. 1307 01:35:05.359 --> 01:35:08.720 But the new one is not going to tear anything down. You just got 1308 01:35:08.720 --> 01:35:10.800 to build a new one. That's three to five years to build a new 1309 01:35:10.800 --> 01:35:15.119 one. And yes, for twenty twenty two. I remember have on Charlie 1310 01:35:15.159 --> 01:35:19.199 Lucan and O one he said we got to build a new bridge. One. 1311 01:35:19.239 --> 01:35:24.199 It's been twenty three years. And then it was griping between Kentucky and 1312 01:35:24.199 --> 01:35:28.039 Ohio, that one where they got tolls. Kentucky wants tolls Ohio. Does 1313 01:35:28.199 --> 01:35:30.840 I know all that? It just sat there, Well, this bridge and 1314 01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:33.399 an emergency. How many months will it take to get it down to zero 1315 01:35:33.560 --> 01:35:42.359 before they start building it up? Oh, it's inflation agricultural products. Eighty 1316 01:35:42.359 --> 01:35:45.239 percent of the agricultural products in the East Coast come out of this. I 1317 01:35:45.239 --> 01:35:47.880 can't believe it was because a power out is can cause you to lose control 1318 01:35:47.920 --> 01:35:53.720 of the steering mechanisms for the boat.
