Starting tonight with the Philadelphia Phillies in town. Plus the draft is on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. People going nuts about that. But relative to the
Bengals, what they should do, what they shouldn't do? There are rumors
possibly of a deal deal or not involving the Bengals, and whether there's going
to be a new deal or a five year extension next year, or how
much money is the county going to spend? And secondly what about the futures
Commission? Is so much more. A woman that has a finger on the
pulse of the community is of course Alisia Reese. And with your permission,
a Lisa Reese, I like to play some walk up music. Is that
okay with you? Hit it? What you got? I love the night
life and I got a boogey hit it. Everyone's got walk up music away?
All right, Alicia, let's take a little more serious, all right?
Now, you know my mother was a recording artist. She would sing
that song sometimes. Your mother, wasn't she a backup singer for the Godfather
of Soul? Barbara did some backup? Explain your mother? Explain that because
I love being with us. Yeah, my mother, Barbara Howard reve she
was a singer. She opened up for Stevie Wonder at the Riverfront the Coliseum
at the USC Festival. It had her own album and Retha Franklin. She
was on a show with Aretha. Litha Franklin was her favorite. So yeah.
She was on the Mike Douglas Show and a show called Upbeat, some
national shows that she sang on. So yeah, all around the house.
She all kinds of music, and this was one of her songs. So
she did sing, well, I feel good playing it. Mine's here your
mother, you know what, moms are extremely important. Maybe we should pay
a little respect, a little respect for Alisha Rees. That was her number
one song, She'd be She sang that song, boy everybody go crazy,
And I wish I took after her and I got none of her singing talent.
I took after my father. Well, in honor of Barbara Howard Reese,
here we go. This is it Barbara singing for your daughter, Alisha
Reese hitting Aretha. Yeah what you baby? I got it out? Yeah?
Oh that's it baby. Yeah Yeah. I don't see a lot of
respect anymore anywhere. But let's talk about a little bit about politics, a
little bit of Futures Commission a little bit about the Bengals lease. I know
DeMar is a big deal in the county. We got the draft coming up.
Can you tell the American people who pay all the bills where the commission
is with extending the Bengals lease. Yeah, So tomorrow I've asked the Ministry
to come forward. The first thing we did we put the thirty nine million
dollars to try to do some upgrades with some seats and the field to be
ready for the season. And that's on the current lease that was negotiated for
you know, twenty years ago. And then to tell us where we are
as we go into this new new deal. And one of the things that
I think we've been very I think keen on is that and I know I
have, is that we've got to get if we're going into a new deal,
we've got to get a new diversified funding model. We've got to get
the NFL putting skin in the game. And we're going to be specific about
the skin. When I look at these other teams, the NFL is putting
in two hundred million dollars Denver, I believe it is gave one hundred million
dollars, so we go to them. We can't be talking about twenty five
million or fifty million. We need one hundred plus million dollars to help get
some of this off of the backs of the taxpayers. Right now, we
have one of the most egregious deals that was negotiated certainly prior to my time
there, at all of our time there, and that deal is where the
taxpayers of Hamilton County is flitting ninety four percent of the cost, and we
just can't do that anymore. Nobody has those kind of deals anywhere that I've
seen, and so these new deals have to have the NFL where they have
I believe it's called G five loan programs, and we've got to have them
put in like they're putting in in other markets. They're putting in two hundred
million, they're putting in one hundred million, and we've got to have just
like you had to Retha on of respect. We got to get some respect
here. We're going to need them to put in one hundred or more million
dollars toward the new financing model. So we want to diversify that funding model.
We've got to get the on board of these other states you've seen them
putting in hundreds of millions of dollars with a Tennessee other places that we've got
to compete with, and we're gonna need the state to put in. Now
we know Cleveland is looking at a new stadium, so we're gonna probably have
to do a joint deal with Cleveland to go in. But we're gonna have
to get some state money, and I'm talking for some real money to help
diversify the funding model and take it off the backs of the local taxpayers with
the sales tax. So we've got to get some new we've got to get
private money. We've got to get NFL and I'm saying specifically starting at one
hundred million and upwards as they're doing in these other markets. And we are
firm about trying to get a new funding model. So tomorrow at our meeting
at one o'clock, I've asked Jeff Aludo, the administrator, to walk us
through what we're doing as we're moving forward, because it's time to sit down
and figure out how we're moving forward. Uh, and certainly always going to
all negotiations. I'm a big Bingles fan. Everybody knows that. But when
I go to the table. I have to go to the table as a
negotiator on behalf of the taxpayers of Hamilton County because we got fans everywhere.
We got fans in Kentucky, right, but they don't have to pay,
like Tony Bender. Tony Bender, Tony Bender wants to pay the dayton They
all want to pay. They want to pay. I talked to Boone.
They all want to give money. They an't want to pay now, Alsia
Rich, we'll help you. Kind of the roadblock at this point has been
in the past anyway, that the Brown family, Katie, Troy, and
of course Mike controls everything. He's like the Dawn, He's like Don Corleone.
Mike Brown worth billions of dollars. They want to put it as little
as possible. Now, when you approach Katie Blackburn and Troy and Mike and
the rest of them and say, hey, we need two hundred million from
the NFL, we need one hundred million maybe from the state of ohioa more,
and the taxpayer has got to be relieved of these burdens. Do you
get a yes, no, maybe, or get the hell out of this
office. What do you get? Well, I don't think we have gotten
there. We've had a meet. I met with Katie and we said,
hey, we want to try to get a deal done. Obviously that we've
got the lawyers and all those folks, Yes, got to go and get
the specifics. But for me, I wanted to just be open and transparent
so the taxpayers kind of know what's going on. The taxpayers did vote for
two stadiums to be built. Where the taxpayers feel they got screwed is when
we got into the least negotiations where they were not present. They didn't know
what was going on, and that's where you know, people felt they got
screwed. And this time I wanted to be open. We just saw what
happened with Kansas City. Kansas City won the Super Bowl and they gave them
a parade and then went to the ballot box and they said, no,
we don't want to pay fifty eight of the taxpayers of Kansas City super Bowl
champs. And they said, no, we don't want to pay the money.
So we want to make sure we're in two. I'm elected by the
taxpayers, I'm elected by the voters of Hamilton County, and so they elected
me to be one of their representatives. So I have to represent what the
case is, what the tone is, and for what I've been hearing the
people I've been around and people are coming. They're saying that we can't go
with the same deal. And the person who pushed that deal is no longer
a county commission, So we know that the people don't like that deal.
So we've got to come to the table. And I think back then,
they didn't have these NFL loans, and you remember I wanted to do that
watch party and I said, hey, let's have a watch party so that
we can our fans can watch, you know, before we went to the
super Bowl, and then the Super Bowl and the NFL came in and said
we cannot have a watch party. They said no to Cincinnati, but they
said yes to the Detroit Lions. We can't have that kind of disrespect.
So you can't go out here tell us we can't have a watch party,
but you ain't putting no money in we have to have If you're gonna tell
us something like that that you've got to put some skin in the game.
And I just I thought it was terrible. Detroit was watching exactly what I
wanted. Hamilton County. They went to the fans in Detroit and they were
all in the stadium. They were yelling and screaming yay, and they had
a watch party. And I was told was that the NFL and that so
they told me they said it was the NFL said that we could not have
a watch party in Hamilton County and we don't want to have that same thing
where other cities are getting one hundred million and two hundred millions from the NFL
and then they come to Hamilton County and they want to give us twenty five
million, fifty million. We've got to stop the disrespect. And that's part
of the funding model. We've got to have the NFL put more skin in
the game like they're doing other places. We got to get the state to
put some skin in the game like they're doing the other places as well,
and the private sector as well. And then of course there's the role that
the public sector as well. So we're going to talk about looking at a
new funding model. Now, if you're getting one hundred percent or ninety six
percent of you're getting all the revenues and you're putting in four and six percent
of, sure you would love to keep the second thing absolutely, it's kind
of equal. I got mad at them, Alicia. It's an equal deal.
The Bengals keep all the revenue and the taxpayer has all the expenses,
kind of like a fifty to fifty deal. We keep the money and you
pay the bills. It's a wonderful model. Yeah, yeah, it's a
wonderful model for them, where we own the stadium when the gas and electric
and all the bills come, and then they own the stadium when all the
revenue come. And we just want to have a more of what they call
partnership, and a partnership is a fifty to fifty type of situation where both
people benefit. So we're trying to work towards that. And then I want
to get more events in the stadiums. Right now, I was down there
at the stadium, is sitting there. We ain't gotten using weekends go by,
we don't have anything. We got to do more than just one concert
a year, two concerts a year. Taylor Sweveland has got the WWE smash
Fest that's bringing one hundred thousand people to Cleveland, Ohio, and we didn't
even go after it. I mean, we've got to do more than just
one concert and two concerts a year and one season, and then we pay
bills while the thing is sitting empty. So in there we also want to
have a third party that knows how to get multiple concerts, be able to
get multiple events so we can bring more revenue and take the tax burden off
the a Lisha, are you ready for the big question in the middle of
this? Are you ready for the big question? Oh? Oh? Do
you have a sense that the Brown family wants to stay in Cincinnati and work
out a deal or do you have a sense the Brown family wants to sell
or move the team? The big question is do you have a sense the
Brown family wants to stay here? You know, I can't speak for the
Brown family. We are just going to be going into these negotiations. I
would hope that they want to say I think they have said it's the administrator
communicated to us if they want to stay. I think our goal when you
go to negotiate, we want to have a try to have a deal where
they do stay. We appreciate it, we love we do love our Bengals.
We just got to get a better deal. And I think we can
get there if everybody comes to the table and says, hey, let's roll
up our sleeves and try to get a win win. I learned that when
I interned at Procter and Gamble. They taught me the first thing in negotiations,
try to get a win win, and that's what I want. I
want to win for the Bengals, but I want to also a win for
the taxpayers, a right the county, and I think we can get there.
Here's the second big question. As you know, next year, the
Bengals on their own can have a five year extension automatically just by sending you
an email. You're the president of the Commission. You're kind of like that
Joe Biden of the Commission. You're the president. They can send you an
email saying, okay, we exercise our five year option, which from this
point gives them six more years no matter what else happens. Isn't that a
wonderful bridge between where we are and where you want to be? And then
on top of that, they can extend it five more. They can extend
it five years after that. And so you keep spending thirty nine million here
and forty million there to upgrade pursu into the lease. But the Bengals have
all the chips on their side of the table. They can say, look,
okay, let's keep talking. You do this, you do this,
you do this, We'll keep the money, you pay the expenses, and
then keep it going for six more years. Isn't that the more likely scenario?
Well, I can't make a prediction they have that. That was the
least that was put together twenty plus years ago. They put an ironclad at
least whoever was in office and around during that time they signed away, you
know, kind of the rights of the taxpayers, and that's unfortunate. But
as we move forward, we can't keep peace mealing. We can't do thirty
nine million is going to do a few seats here, do that, and
we keep chipping away at the taxpayer's expense. So you know, if it
comes to that, then you know there's some our decisions to be made.
But we can't keep chipping away, fixing this, fixing that, doing this,
doing that. And I've told the administrator because when you start chipping away,
that's a new deal that wasn't an the original deal. You can't keep
amending and amending and amending, right, that's a brand new deal and it
has to go back to the taxpayer. So tomorrow you're going to say that,
Jeffaludo, Hey, come in here, tell us where we are.
I can see four or five years from now, they're going to exercise their
one year option in about six months or a year, and they're going to
keep it going five more years. The county's going to keep paying thirty nine
million here and fifty million there because you have to. It's suddenly going to
be the year twenty thirty or twenty thirty one, and they can extend it
five more years if they want. All the chips are on their side of
the table. You're in an inferior bargaining position. Do you understand? Then?
I got you. But also some of those amenities start to become less
and less as we get into the outlining years, and so some of the
things that were iron clad in the first several, you know, years of
decade of the lease, they start to become some of them become less and
less, and there'll be some needs to be able to come to the county
to be able to work out somethings. So you're right, I mean,
they may go that direction. I think it's our responsibility on behalf of the
taxpayers is to provide an alternative that gives you a long term I think it's
important people who are just regular to say you're a landlord. Very few landlords
are going to fix up something if the lease is about the end. If
you are you're renting right now, the landlord very seldom comes in and puts
a brand new deck in and going to put in you know, new paint
until they get a lease that is signed. Well, let's see what happens.
They have to go hand in hand. But if Patrick Humes and Taylor
Swift and the Kelsey brothers couldn't get a von Levy passed in Kansas City,
we got no shot here. But an honor of Barbara Howard Reese and Alisha
Reese. I'm glad you're there, Alisha, to kick some ass and take
some names, and in honor of all your family. Hit it, Tony.
Don't talk about love, Katie, show me the money. Put some
jack, put some jack in this deal. In all the trouble and so
we've been a lot of troubles, a lot of troubles in the county.
Alisha Reese, thank you very much. Thank you. We're gonna report later
on. Let's continue hit it, Tony, Alisha went some action. The
taxpayer says, look, but I want to get some too. Hit it.
I can see Katie and Alisia Reese dancing again on seven hundred WLW.
Hey there, what's for dinner tonight? Take out again? Remember your last
order, Sonny, do some bookkeeping matters. You and I together as Great
Americans Number one. Starting in about twenty minutes, Paula Christian will be here
of the I team. WCPO Channel nine were nine stands for news. They
have a report starting at six o'clock nine and channel nine about what's happening.
And then around Saint Francis Sarah Church on Liberty Street over the Rhine, north
of the Rhine, north of Central Parkway. And I talked to Tanya O'Rourke
about this a couple of days ago. I've not seen the video. I've
not seen anything about it, but it is related to me. It is
shocking what is happening in that part of OTR, which includes open air drug
markets. Certain part of the block is for marijuana, certain part is for
crack cocaine, certain part is for heroin, certain part for fentanyl, open
air sex pools of urine piles of poop or everywhere, fornication taking place on
the street and broad daylight, according to the reported to me by Tanyo O'Rourke
in the video. And we're going to have on the reporter Paula Christian about
what's happening in downtown Cincinnati. We know what's going on when it comes to
burnouts all over downtown. We know what's happening in and around the banks as
hordes of teenagers engage in gunplay, fights, knife fights, etc. Cops
show up, nothing happens. We know that civilians have been targeted for beatings
in downtown Cincinnati. And we know the problem is that not enough movie theaters,
not enough bowling alleys, maybe some pickleball, not enough, too many
kids congregating downtown after school. But I spend some time downtown in front of
Saint Francis seraf and the church itself is shut down. They can't deal with
it anymore. There's hundreds of individuals on a typical day dealing drugs, committing
crimes, beatings, shooting, stabbings, and the city police do little or
nothing to address it. In fact, I was told the cops have been
told implicitly don't get involved that we don't want you chasing anybody. We don't
want you arresting anybody. And from a cops perspective, if you have to
try to arrest someone who's mentally ill, filled with poop and urine and drugs
in their system, it's not a very pleasurable event. But damn it,
do your job, So is it? Aftab pirival and Cheryl Long, by
the way, the city manager is in way over her head. Wait,
she was hired for a couple of reasons, the same reasons that Kamala Harris
was hired. She checked the box and she's well, she's over her SKI
doesn't know what's going on. But maybe it's apt to have pirival who doesn't
want arrest in certain parts of our city. The cops are told when hundreds
of youths congregate and start wilding, going into restaurants, overturning tables in and
around the banks that don't arrest anybody. It's gonna cause more problems if you
arrest someone than if you don't arrest anyone. So it's a consequence. Cheryl
Long, who's the city manager, Uh, I ought to manage the city.
But that won't happen. Til about one oh five today with Paula Christian
of Channel nine and then tonight at six o'clock tonight and tomorrow on Channel nine.
It's an expose of the city, which is shocking. It is safe
to go to a Reds game. Safe go to a Bengals game. The
parking lot. It's a bit a bit unusual before a Bengals game, but
then you then you get out. Same thing with FC. It's safe to
go. But we can't be Portland, we can't be Chicago. And the
reason crime is down is because crime has been decriminalized. It used to be
cop would see someone using drugs, selling drugs, causing death, and they'd
get out of their cars and arrest somebody. That doesn't happen anymore. Crime
is down because arrest are down and the court system doesn't keep anyone locked up
anymore. Most of the judges free individuals who who almost kill a teacher at
cole Rain you get out, no big deal. I'm looking at this case
in North Carolina. It's on video. North Carolina high school teacher appears to
be a female about fifty years old, is repeatedly slapped in the face by
a student. Student gets up out of his desk, walks up to the
teacher and slaps her in the face on video. He has someone video what's
going on, calls her the B word, a bunch of other stuff,
steps back, slaps her two or three more times, so hard her glasses
fly off of her head, and teach and the kid says, ain't nobody
going to help you be the B word, goes back and slaps her again.
The school's principal said they're not going to put up with this behavior.
What a brilliant suggestion. So I scroll down to the story out of North
Carolina, and the sheriff says all of us should be outraged when students assault
teachers on video and passing around with other students. That one student's in charge
of one charge of communicating threats and two charges of misdemeanor assault against the teacher
on video. So I'm thinking this has got to be unusual, But former
teachers say they're not surprised by the behavior at all. It occurs on a
regular basis, and it's gotten worse after COVID that male students walk up to
a teacher in her fifties slap her in the face video it step back and
slap her again, then go back to the desk waiting for the next slap
on a teacher's face. Cole Rain, what happens? Slick attorney and he's
good. Clyde Bennett, and you can punch a teacher in the face,
pummel her, put her in intensive care, take off part of her skull.
And in juvenile court what happens? Essentially nothing. Melissa Powers wanted the
kid bound over juvenile court in Hamilton County would not do it. That's where
we are. Thirdly, after two o'clock today, we have Congressman Warren Davidson.
I'm listening this morning with John Roberts and Mike McConnell about that five thousand
number to which is part of the Democratic plan. It was like a poison
pill, so Republicans will vote against it. He's going to talk about what
happened Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Washington and where we go from here,
and lastly, look into my left. The hush money trial is called by
CNN raps for the day with one witness. The one witness was a guy
named Pecker. I'm not making this up. His name is David Pecker,
and he's the former owner and publisher of the National Inquiry. These are the
catch and kill stories that we have been used for a long time, payoff
women who commit consensual acts in order to keep things quiet away from the friends
and family of business, political whatever the reason might be. And it's a
fit diet tribe on this trial that the first witness is named Pecker involving Stormy
Daniels the porn star. Should that Donald have covorted with porn stars and hookers
and lion lawyers? Absolutely not. Sounds like Bill Clinton, or sounds like
Joe Biden who continues to want to shower according to his own daughter with her.
And you might read that story if you want to google Senator Joe Biden
and Ashley Biden. It talks about how Ashley Biden was a girl and Senator
Joe Biden his dad insisted on showering with her, she says, causing her
severe problems down the road. At least the Trumpster used hookers, which was
a mistake, take and wrong, but nonetheless his policies work. So let's
continue stay tuned for this and paula Christian of nine News will be here right
after the news to talk about things City fathers and mothers from after pure of
All to share along to Scottie Johnson. They don't want you to know about
You need to know about these things if you think about going downtown Cincinnati.
Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WLW sneezing, coughing stuff. The number of
journalists, real journalists of Channel nine that uncover stories that must most in the
media don't cover. And Channel nine has done a great job in the past,
and it's going to be an expose starting at six o'clock tonight on Channel
nine. Might be a night or two of what's happening in the areas of
over the Rhine. Joining you and I now from the ITEAM and Channel nine.
It's journalists Paula Christian and Paula Christian Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
So can you tell the American people listening what your report tonight is about
at six o'clock on Channel nine. Well, thank you for having me.
I will say it is pretty shocking the surveillance video that we received from the
portion of over the Rhine. This is north over the Rhine, so north
of Liberty Street, kind of around Saint Francis. Sarah Church is really very
shocking about the kind of behavior, the crime, the violence, the drug
use, you know, the public toileting on the sidewalks. You know.
In one video, it shows two people having sexual intercourse on the sidewalk on
Saturday in the middle of the day, and the police come up and they
don't arrest them or write a ticket, and they just drive away and they
continue what they're doing. Are there described if you can. In addition to
piles of poop and pools of urine, open sex in front of a Catholic
church, which is a problem. Also, what about the drug use and
what about the other illegal behavior the police simply ignore? Oh it is.
It is not a safe area. From our own experience of just spending time
down there, the drug dealing is constant, round the clock drug dealing.
It is an open air drug market on Republic Street that is very dangerous.
It has out of town drug dealers there, which the police day makes it
even more dangerous because they don't have ties to the local community. And then
they sell to a mixture of local and people from other places that drive in
to get their drugs down this street. So it's gotten so bad that Cincinnati
police are taking this very rare step of shutting the street down for six months
starting in May to try and stop the drug dealing. Why don't they arrest
the individuals who are openly using drugs, opening having sex, and defecating on
sidewalks. Why don't the police get out of their cars and arrest them.
Well, that's a good question. I mean, if you I think the
police are doing what they can with the resources that they have. You know,
staffing is an issue at all police departments in Ohio and nationally. This
is a dangerous neighborhood. And if the police are not feeling supported, I
mean, that's that's a tough job. You know. The police captain that
I spoke with did say that while shootings are down in north Over the Rhine
and the violence is down, overall crime in Over the Rhine in north Over
the Rhine from the stats that we looked at, is at its highest level
in more than a decade, and that has to do largely with the miess
break ins and car break ins, which they're having a really hard time getting
under control. As far as the arrest of concerns, I've always looked at
statistics saying how crime is down everywhere but then police aren't arresting people, whether
it's Cincinnati or Portland or Chicago, I kind of you know, I talked
to Dan Hills and Ken Kober and those in charge of the police division,
and they tell me they don't feel supported from city Hall, that they don't
want to get in some fight with a homeless drug addict who's got urine all
over them and knives. They don't want to get involved. And is there
a message from city Hall not the police in Cincinnati, or is it the
police fault? Is it political? What is it? It's a very complicated
problem, it really is. You know. I spoke to residents who say
many residents who said it was not this bad three or four years ag go.
So you know, to them, they're not sure if that is because
it was a different administration as city Hall, or you know, you did
have a pandemic in there which brought a lot more people outside downtown, the
crowds. So you know, in the last three or four years, they
have all said the situation has gotten much much worse now. You know,
one resident I spoke to who gave us all the surveillance video. You know,
there's there's dozens of crimes that you can watch taking place on this video,
drug use, you know, sex on the street, and public toileting.
And you know, he said that he's gotten so frustrated he stopped calling
the police because nothing changes. So he feels like the crime stats are not
accurate because the police are not making these these level arrests. They are not
and so residents are getting frustrated and stop stop calling. But you know,
in fairness to the police, you know, they're trying to deal with the
most violent crimes and prevent shootings and violence and they have to prioritize, so,
you know, and they have limited resources like everything else. So the
problem and the solution depends on who you're talking to and how they view all
of it. I mean, that's why it's so complicated. So you're telling
me on this video tonight at six o'clock and tomorrow on Channel nine, you're
going to see an open air drug market, fornication and public public defecation and
police cars marked in uniform and a CPD unit simply drive by, look at
it and move on. Well, we did blur some of the more inappropriate
behavior, but yes, all of that will air tonight and tomorrow night at
six, and the other part of the story is Saint Francis Sarah Church and
their role in what is happening in this neighborhood. You know, this church
was open to the homeless for eight years during the day to give them a
place to sleep and use the bathroom. And it just locked its doors a
couple of weeks ago and put up no trespassing signs because the cost of the
security was getting too high. And so the police and the city and the
residents are hoping that maybe the crowds that are gathering out front, which you
know, there could be one hundred people out in front of this church on
a summer night. That's a lot of people. They're hoping these crowds go
somewhere else. And then you know, also part of the problem is the
Franciscan province wants to sell the friary, which is part of this church two
tender mercies to add more low income housing for the homeless and severely mentally ill,
right next to an open air drug market. And the city has already
given conditional approval to use its federal dollars for this project, and the residents
don't want it. The over the Rhine community council border to oppose the project,
so they think it's going to make the neighborhood worse. They feel like
the neighborhood is already out of control, and now you're going to place low
income housing for, you know, the most vulnerable people, right next to
an open air drug market. When I drive by, which is infrequently,
I see other redevelopment happening in and around Saint Francis Seraph in which individuals want
to put millions of dollars into housing to sell million dollar condos. I see
restaurants opening and closing in OTR. Some really good restaurants are an OTR,
but you want to get out of there before before the sun goes down.
Is there a sense of the other residents, the great majority of whom are
not homeless. They don't defecate on the sidewalk, they don't have open air
sex, they don't use drugs in public with all the fentanyl difficulties that not
derelicts. What do the law abiding citizens of that area say about what the
city is allowed to happen. Well, a lot of these people that are
doing this behavior seem to have mental health problems, and so that's part of
the problem. What do you do? You know, this area has a
large concentration of social services. It has soup kitchens, it has showers,
it has you know, a lot of the services that these people utilize are
right there. The residents I spoke with are very frustrated because there's a big
on Liberty Street between South over the Rhine where you see all of the nice
restaurants and the wine bars and the theater, and then you cross over Liberty
Street and it is like a you know, one resident said, this is
a third World country over here. This is this is people don't realize how
bad it is. And you know, three CDC and the Medel Group and
a lot of developers have bought property over there to redevelop. But you know,
one developer I spoke with said, you can't put a major investment in
a neighborhood that's out of control. They want to develop there, but you
know, are you going to put a market rate housing development there? I
mean where you know, will your contractors feel safe no going to do the
construction, Will your tenants want to live there? Will your I mean,
you know, it's just it's it's it's tricky, it's complex, Paula Christian.
This is multifaceted. A few weeks ago, there were hundreds of kids
running around the banks in which there were fights and gunshots. A cop told
me they shoot at barges that go buy on the Higho River. Three or
four cops show up in cars. Nobody's arrested, everyone disperses. There's beatings
happening in around Fountain Square, Government Square, Marauding gangs attack individuals mercilessly.
This is what's going on. And then we had on last week at the
banks in front of the Holy Grail. You have burnouts and which cars are
going around in circles at high rates of speed with diners sitting there enjoying a
taco outside. Throw on top of that, what's happening at Liberty And you
have a city that has a disconnect between what the city fathers and mothers,
the Sheryl longs and they have to have purivolves talk about the greatness of the
city of Cincinnati. But on the other hand, it's not just the I
team. Just look at the video. What's happening on Fountain Square, Government
Square, the banks, the burnouts, the mob, the attacks. Throw
this on top of it, is there a disconnect between what the city fathers
and mothers think what goes on, and what the reality is. Well,
I think you have people that don't want to talk about violence and crime downtown
because they don't want to scare people from the suburbs into not coming. They
need the business. I think that's very real. And I think then you
have another facet of people living down there who say, if we don't talk
about what's really happening down here, it's just going to get worse. And
you know, we are on the verge of summer, and everybody knows in
the summer, you know, the crime gets worse, the violence get gets
worse, and people I spoke with are genuinely afraid to see what's going to
happen this summer. But I will say, you know, these are honest
conversations should be happening at city Hall. And you can't blame the police for
everything you don't like. I mean, it's just not fair. I was
told by some coppers they put up all these speed bumps because cops have been
told don't pull people over. And so there's no one writing tickets in the
city of Cincinnati because there's a message from Scherl Long or Aft have Pirival or
Scottie Johnson. We don't want you pulling people over. The cops feel as
if they're overwhelmed. They need two hundred more cops that they can't get funding
for. And the cops don't want to get out of their cars and chase
some jack rabbit down an alley, thinking, oh my god, I'm not
going to put my life at risk. I'm not going to start fighting.
But then I remember the words of the great coach Bill Belichick, the of
the New England Patriots, who had the three word motto, do your job.
Many are saying, cops, do your job, arrest people, and
if the court system lets them go, that's on the court system. But
I'm a little bit I'm never shocked in anything anymore. But police officers that
I greatly respect tell me they're not supported and they're not encouraged to be proactive
policing. And since drive by fentanyl use, heroin use, which is a
felony, and other nuisance crimes like public sex, they don't want to get
involved because they're not supported by city hall. Is that true? Well,
again, it depends on who you talked to. I would ask this administration.
Are they meeting with the police chief, the assistant chiefs, and the
captains on Monday morning to go over what happened this weekend? What crime happened,
what violence happened? What are we going to do about this? How
are we you know, what do you need? How can I fix this?
You know that accountability that I know you're a couple of years ago used
to happen. I don't know if that's happening now. But everybody should have
a boss who you know, is looking at what they're doing and how they're
allocating their resources, and you know, should we put more here? Should
we put more here? I don't know. But when you have fewer police
than you maybe want, don't you want them focused on the violence and the
shootings? I mean, do you want them writing graphic tickets? Well that's
part of the job too. That's why we have speed bumps everywhere because cops
on writing tickets. And there's a sense that I can do whatever I want
to do and keep the lid on. I like what well you said a
disconnect f ted Pireval has great statewide ambitions, and Cheryl Long I think is
in over her head. But nonetheless, the message has got to come from
them. And Scottie Johnson is on city Council, he's been there cop for
thirty years, has got to say we got to enforce the law and we
have to know what's happening. But crime is down goes. There's no arrest
taking place. I mean it's good crime is now. We don't arrest anybody,
and so crime is now. I love my city. I was born
here, i was raised here. I'm gonna die here. I know you
have the same feeling that I have in Tianyo O'Rourke has for the city of
Cincinnati, and I hate to see it going down this route. And I'm
glad you're reporting on it. Let's lift up the blanket, look at the
cockroaches, and see what happens. Paula Christian, I'll be watching today at
six on Channel nine and let's see what happens. You'll be follow up on
this hopefully the rest of the week. Either you or someone at Channel nine
is going to stay on this issue right to see what happens. Because we
can't let the city look like Portland. It can't be an open air drug
market, it can't be open toilets, it can't be drug use. Catholic
church is shut down because they can't deal with it. Now they want to
bring more into that area and it's got to be cleaned up. But once
again, Paula Christian, you're a great American today at six on Channel nine.
Thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham showing Paul and once again, thank
you for sounding the alarm. This is the best role of a journalist to
do this kind of stuff, and thank you for doing it. Oh,
thanks for having me. I'm happy to come back in each time. Thank
you, Paula. Let's continue with more. That's your city if you live
in Boone County, Kenton County, Butler County. Warning, man, I
want to go downtown. You might go to a Reds game and leave Bengals
and leave FC and leave. But then what's left behind? Poop on news
radio seven hundred WULW, is you hello? Quiet and I'm broadcasting all right,
seg The Trump trial is underway. May I share with you the headline
and the Drudge Report? Go right ahead. The first witness called was a
guy named David Pecker, who ran the National Inquirre. My dearly departed mother
used to love reading the Inquiry National inquir I said, MA, guess what
a lot of that stuff and there's not true. Oh, Billy, look,
if it's in the paper, it's got to be true. I said,
aliens are not landing in Las Vegas. Trip didn't they did? Well,
maybe they did. Ama used to love to read the National Inquiry.
First witness is David Pecker headline of the headline of the Drudge Report. Trump
and his Pecker will leave the student reporters of proud service. Every local Tamestar
heating and air conditioning dealers Tamestar quality of confeeling in Northern Kentucky, cal Johnson
Heating and Koolie eight five nine four seven two sixty fifty one. By the
way, the mayor of Los Angeles has now had her home burglarized. The
mayor of Los Angeles, how about that? And how about those dudes at
Yale tearing down the American flag and then they had like a human shield.
They wouldn't let like Jewish Jewish students out out onto the I mean, what's
going on at Yale. One of their demands is that Jewish students have to
wear the yellow Star of David so they can be identified. That's what's happening
to liberalism and progressivism in America today? Was his Happy Earth Day? Too?
Well? May I say this segment to be fair. I try to
be fair every now and then. The great majority of Islamists and Muslims living
in America think about this country the way you and I do. There's a
part of Islam and a part of muslim who say kill Jews, kill Americans,
burn the American flag, kill put in ovens, Jews. There's a
part of that, but it is not the majority of Americans who go to
their mosques like the ones in Westchester. I've had friends, many friends who
are Muslims, and they're great Americans. It is incumbent upon them to speak
out against the small fraction of Islamicists who want to kill Jews wherever they can
be located. If you're in Iran and you grew up in a society that
say we got to kill Jews, I would listen to what they have to
say, especially when they send three hundred and forty seven missiles to kill millions
of Jews. I would pay attention to Iran, wouldn't you? And if
you were Joe Biden, why did you do you give Iran directly indirectly over
a one hundred billion dollars to have more weapons to kill Jews. Why did
Joe Biden do that we're paying for the weapons to kill Jews. Then we're
defending Israel against the weapons that we paid for. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, are you done yet? Red's bullpen picking up after starting pitcher
Frankie Montas left the game and at first inning with that bruise right four on
taking a line drive office. But he's okay, he's probably gonna miss as
the next start. But the Reds blank the Angels to sweep that series yesterday,
and the bullpen comes to the rescue, led by the man of Moeler,
mister Brett's suitor. In fact, over the weekend, didn't the relief
corps give up zero runs? Glad you mentioned that Red's bullpen in the series
fifteen innings pitched eight hits, no runs, twelve strikeouts, and five walks.
That's pretty good. And now they come to Now the Philadelphia Phillies come
to town. The Reds have won three in a row, the Phills have

Oh, the NKU and college basketball is higher Jeff Hans as the next women's

the program to two NCAA Division three national championships. He's on to night at
Sports Talk at five point forty with Lance. If the first witness in the
Stormy Daniels case is a guy named Pecker, We're in trouble. I'm walking
off the jury. Let's see. In golf, Scottie Scheffler does it again.
I watched him this morning winning the RBC Heritage Classic. So the last
five starts let me write this down. First four million in the Palmer Invitational.
I'll put down four four and a half million in the Players Championship.
Down, We're up to eight and a half. He tied for second in
Houston five hundred and fifty k. Let's get him up to nine mil.
Of course, he won the Masters at three point six twelve point five.
In the RBC, he won three point six. Sounds to me like sixteen
million dollars. Now to young Kelly Korda. She has won the last five
COUNTOM five LPGA tournaments to tie Nancy Lopez and Anika Sorenstant should Kaitlin Clark be
paid the same as Lebron James. That's up. That's not up to me.
Please continue. First place for Kelly Korda two hundred and sixty two thousand,
five hundred dollars. Write that down. The next one three hundred thousand,
make it five sixty two. The next one three hundred and thirty seven,
five hundred, make it exactly one mil. Next one she wins is
three hundred, three hundred thou one point three mil. And then yesterday the
Chevron Championship at one point two I mean Ship two point five and Scheffer won
sixteen. Now do they bring in the same amount of viewers? No?
Do they bring in the same revenue, I don't think so. Do they
have the same audience, I don't think so. Do they have the same
merchandise sales? I don't think so. Do they have the same endorsement fees?
Not sure? Maybe that's the difference. College football. Willie Graham Nicholson,

superstar just won his nine hundred and ninety ninth victory in the squared Circle,

know? I don't know. How about this corn Ferry Tour, fifteen year
old Miles Russell, he finished tied for twentieth in the event over the weekend,
fifteen years old, what's his name? Miles Russell? Could be the
next Tiger, so he's not going to pocket any money for the finish.
He did qualify for next week's Cornferry Tour and stop in Texas. About that,
Congressman Davidson's coming up next. He was involved in the negotiations on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday to pass aid to the Ukraine into the Jews. The
Jews, Yes, Ukraine. I have my doubts because I'm not sure that
it's the war anybody can win. But nonetheless, I hope to God they
know what they're doing. I hope to God, Joe Biden, who thinks
his uncle Bosey was eaten alive by cannibals. Right. I hope Biden knows
what he's doing. Do you think he does? No? Please continue,
there's the record right there. One thousand, seven hundred and fifty nine wins.

I've never ever thought I'd see a time when I'm going through a neighborhood.
Her rural town is in the west to sending to see big signs has
to have a Trump sign in the middle, says f Biden. And having
a little kid standing with his middle finger at seven years old. Eight years
old, Well, I promise it happens all the time. There's a reason
for that segment. Thank you, sir, and good luck with Trump's pecker
on news radio seven hundred WLW. Hey there, what's for dinner tonight?
Take out again? Remember your last order, soggy brought your chance to win
one thousand dollars entered this nation, white keyword on our website. Bank,
that's the bank, and enter it now, oh Billy Cunning in the Great
American of course, you know that debacle took place Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday in the House of Representatives when once again, supposedly conservative Republicans, many
members of the Freedom Caucus and others, voted to defend the borders of the
Ukraine and Taiwan and Israel, but not the borders of the United States of
America. And we've put to rest onceon for all that Republicans did not vote
against southern border control. The so called Bipartisan Act would have allowed five thousand
illegals per day to enter the country before triggering any action by the President.
And I don't trust Biden anyway, but you can't bring in five thousand a
day, which is maybe two million a year and then certain border control measures
kick in, stay in Mexico. That's the way to get it done.
Biden won't do it. So once again, from one conservative perspective, it
appears the Republican Party has collapsed again. Joining you and I now is one
of the leaders of the House of Representatives, also a member of the Freedom
Caucus, Warren the Great Warren Davidson of the State of Ohio and Congressman,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And if you're a citizen in Hamilton,
Ohio, or in Provo, Utah or in Austin, Texas, how
would you describe to a conservative what happened on Thursday Friday with the voque culminating
on Saturday? How would you explain what happened betrayal? I mean, look,
we're looking for a missing person. Mike Johnson's gone missing. Now,
Speaker Johnson isn't looking for Mike Johnson. He's running a whole different playbook than
what Mike Johnson said he was going to do. There is no way in
the world Mike Johnson would have been elected Speaker of the House promising to do
the things he's done as Speaker. And just in January, he led a
trip down to the border to say not because the country needed another border visit,
but part of it was to stiffen everyone's resolve to do and and fight
for the border. And the words were so good. He was saying,
just in January, we're not going to fund a government that doesn't secure the
border. And within a week of saying that, then at the border he
cut a deal with Chuck Schumer to fund a government that doesn't secure the border.
And when he was folding then surrendering to that, he's like, well,
we're going to use leverage on Ukraine. We're not going to give him
the supplemental plan. We're gonna make nothing that that fails to secure the border.
Anything that fails to secure the border is dead on arrival in the House.
The words again so good, the problems the deeds. So when the
pressure came, and it did, there's a lot of pressure and all of
acknowledge. It probably feels really different when you're the guy with the gabble as
the speaker. But he didn't get the job to fold. He got the
job to stand, not to stand for Ukraine, but for stand for what
we said we would do. And we said we were going to put border
security on the package. And look, would it have passed by two hundred
votes if if we did that, well, sadly no, Democrats wouldn't have
gone along with it in big numbers. We got only got five Democrats,
but five is more than enough to pass it, because we could have passed
it with only Republican votes. And if we sent this to the Senate,
that's the leverage. Because you saw how much they wanted the Ukraine Aid for
goodness sakes their way in Ukraine flag on the floor of the United States House
of Representatives. It look like the Parliament of Ukraine. Yes, it was
embarrassing. It was very embarrassing day. Does Speaker Mike Johnson belong on the
side of a milk carton? Well, not Speaker Johnson. Mike Johnson,
We don't know what happened to Mike. Mike Talke was pretty good. We
liked Mike. We wanted him to do well. But the downside is now
the Democrats they're they're like, oh, we love this Speaker Johnson. Guy,
he's great. Daven't had as much joy since they passed Obamacare. I
don't think uh, Speaker Johnson is now the favorite of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck
Schumer. How in the hell did that happen? And also Maxine Waters loves
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. How's that possible? Well, apparently it
happened in the skiff. You know. He says, I went down to
the skiff and I got the briefings. And we're like, well, yeah,
we went to the skiff and got the briefings, but no, we
didn't really see it that way. And you know, but to be fair,
you know, a hundred of our party did on a lot of these
issues. The parties kind of divided, and you know, I'm starting to
think about this, Willy, I'm starting to think about it. As you
know, we always refer to the Republicans as you know, Republicans, but
it's also the GOP, GOP's Grand old Party. And I was thinking,
okay, maybe we should divide here. The Cheney, Romney, McConnell,
Grand Old Party wing over here, more wars and more places and all that
stuff spy on Americans don't get a warrant. Big spenders, big business,
big government coalitions, you know, forget the people. That's the Grand Old
Party. And I do think they're old. I think they're on the way
out because what the voters are telling they're looking at the Republican wing and the
Republican Party that says, yeah, the stuff that's on the platform, the
stuff we said we're going to do, Yeah, we're doing that. And
that's the part that the people are energized by. That's the part where people
are going, how's it that I'm funding both sides of another war? I
mean that was the plan for Israel. We want to help Israel. I
mean it used to be the most unifying thing in the country. But Democrats
wouldn't vote for it unless you also funded Hamas. And this isn't let's stay
on that point, Congressman. But we spent and imalst say we, But
Joe Biden and the United States government sent to Iran well over one hundred billion
dollars directly and indirectly in released aid of money for humanitarian purposes, extra money
because of oil, money for hostages. So Tehran, Iran and the mood
is these great religious leaders call for the killing of Jews. Great religious leaders
do that and Tehran, and so we sent over one hundred billion dollars.
I watched on YouTube about a week ago Assistant Secretary of the Treasury testified that
money is fungible. Duh, yeah, water is wet. Money is fungible.
And he testified. The great majority of aid that we have sent to
Iran that we have sent to Iran was used to purses to buy cruise missiles,
missiles and drones, and so we paid for Iran to build up their
armaments to attack Israel. And then we also are providing aid to Israel to
defend itself against the missiles that we paid for. Do I have this right?
Absolutely right? And the bill that passed on Saturday to help Israel has
got nine billion for Okay, they say humanitarian aid, all right, let's
say that can be perfectly with absolute accountability. It only helps humanitarian the people
of Gaza. The reality is aid goes to the people with the guns,
and even if it only goes to the people without the guns and the people
that are the most needy, and everything else in this port that Joe Biden
wants to build gets the aid through the port for the US Navy to offload
to aid into Gaza gets it only to the most peaceful people in the world,
total pacifist. I'm sure there are plenty in Gaza. The people with
the guns are gonna say, great, we don't have to take care of
the people. The Americans are feeding and clothing and sheltering everybody. More of
our money, nearly all of it now can be used to buy weapons and
munitions. And that's what money is fungible means. And so how are you
going to fund both sides of the war? An extra nine billion pumped straight
into Gaza that's going to be ultimately controlled for the benefit of Hamas. And
look even without that the downside, look at what the Biden administration's doing there.
They're leveraging Benjamin Netan Yaho, the Prime Minister of Israel, to try
to talk about a two state solution, have parliamentary elections, Chuck Schumer costs
for parliamentary elections to unseat Benjamin net and Yahoo. And they're using they're going
to use this aid as leverage to try to coerce Israel. These are the
same goals that the Hamas massacre had on ten to seven. So how in
the world my colleagues want to fund both sides of this conflict are insane.
Joe Biden, we know he's kind of, you know, not all there,
and he's kind of been wrong on foreign policy for his entire political career,
but he's the guy making these decisions. And the failure with Iran is
part of what's in Bolton, you know, the Iranian proxies AMAS, and
so far thankfully not Hesboon. So we'll see how it goes. Maybe maybe
everything will work perfectly. My no vote will be proven to be the wrong
vote. I hope, I hope and prayed because I want the people of
Israel to flourish. Absolutely. Congressman, I can't imagine during the nineteen forties
FDR having a Lenley's program to Adolf Hitler. Now we're going to make sure
that the Nazis have plenty of armaments that we're going to pay for to attack
American soldiers and our English partners. Then we're gonna I look at this,
but the media, CNN, ABC, NBC, they're flushed with happiness because
once again the Republicans are made to look like fools, and frankly many times
deserve it. But the Democrats are all together as one. Can you tell
me why that if the Democrats need to fall in line and Keem Jeffreys,
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe, they always fall in line, one
hundred percent, no objection. Publicans are like hurting cats. Well, well,
Democrats your daughter at following orders? Yeah, they're better at following orders.
Why say that, Well why do they? Why don't Republicans follow the
orders of the Freedom Caucus. Well, you know, if they did,
that'd be great. I always say, you don't have to be a member
of Freedom Caucus. You just need to be eligible, get your voting records
right. And the hard part there's Look, these aren't positions that are outside
the political outside of the party. If you look at the platform, you
know, everything that I've seen people take positions from in the conservative realm in
the House of Representatives is in the party platform. And it's not something that
oh, some super extraneous radical far right. These are the things that we
said we were going to do in the party platform. The downside is the
party platform hasn't been updated since twenty sixteen, so that I think is one
of the problems. You've got to RNC dot org. They've added a disclaimer
because some of us started calling this out. But they didn't want to embrace
Trump in twenty sixteen. They thought it would going to lose, so they
didn't really update the platform in sixteen. Twenty twenty, similar thing in oh
but COVID they never updated the platform. Here it is twenty twenty four.
Republicans are in the midst of campaign season and they still don't have a party
platform. And I think, look, at minimum, well, we clearly
have factions within our own party. We have to align and say here are
the things that we promised we are going to work together to do. And
at the end of the day, look the words again, so good.
They all know what to say. They know what the voters want. They
want a smaller, more accountable guy yes, southern border yes, and they
want a secure border and that those are the two big promises we made.
And unfortunately something happened to Mike Johnson and Speaker Johnson has failed to deliver on
both. Speaker Johnson, I recall a few months back at the southern border.
We will not protect the borders of Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel until
number one, we secure the southern border of the United States of America.
That was the guy makes it to me. But right now Speaker Mike Johnson
has just thrown overboard principles and values. We're defending every border in the world
except our own. And as we speak, day by day, five to
ten thousand legals come across the southern border. They're flooding the interior of the
country. We had an opportunity to stop it. The Democrats don't want to
stop it because of all the voting that takes place of illegals during presidential elections.
Who gets ballots set in the mail because they're registered to voter, have
a government benefit. Eighteen states simply send out the ballots to illegals who are
legally voting because they have a driver's license or get a government benefit, and
those ballots all over the place, getting ready for twenty thirty when reapportionment takes
place and all the seats are reapportioned, and what's reapportioned are human beings living
in a state, not citizens, So they're prepared to take over the United
States of America, and damn it, we can't stop it, and the
party committed to stop it, the Republican Party collapses every chance, every chance
it happens. Now we have a Speaker of the House supported by Nancy Pelosi,
Maxine Waters, and jakeem Jeffers who now said they're going to keep him
in the chair because the guy's a stooge. Are you going to vote to
remove him between now and the next election? Well, look, I think
the plan that people are laying out is, let's just be clear, he's
not going to be speaker next Congress. Now, we hope we have a
Republican majority, but when you look at some of these things, frankly,
our voters are getting discouraged. And I think that's why it would really be
important for us to start saying, look, we know Mike isn't going to
have the votes next Congress, No, and we should be working together to
figure out not by shutting the whole thing down. I thought that was a
terrible mistake. The people that said it was a mistake to vacate Kevin McCarthy,
I think have been validated at this point. Sadly, you know,
it's like Hey, I hope it turns out. I disagree with it,
but they did it, and it's been a disaster. But the way it
was done was also a disaster. Everything stopped for six weeks or something while
we or fighting over who is going to be the next guy, and we
really, truly we missed the opportunity to say, what are the things that
truly unite us? We should have united behind a plan instead of a person.
And I think that's what we have to do right now. Now.
Whether we can pull that off, you know, that is the question.
But I do think, you know, there will be a lot of people
that simply rally around the speaker and say we have to defend Mike at all
costs. And some of them love the results. You know, they were
waving their Ukrainian flags too, if not literally, you know, they were
joyous just the same on on on our side of the aisle, some of
these folks, at least in that world. We're only funding one side of
it. But you know, we don't have very good accountable accountability on where
all the money is actually going and how it's being spent, you know,
and we we still don't have a mission there. You know, people people
should know that that as much as it takes, as long as it takes
is not a real mission. There's no way to hold somebody accountable for that
unless they just keep cutting checks as long as it takes. They said this
in Afghanistan in two thousand and four when they were shifting from going after bin
laden and going into nation building, and it took all the way till twenty
twenty one before we reached the culmination of as much as it takes, as
long as it takes. We were spending forty fifty billion a year in Afghanistan
for you know, nearly twenty years, and what's the result. You know,
you would think that, with the benefit of hindsight, having already used
the phrase as much as it takes as long as its stake takes for one
mission, that you would say, you know, maybe we should look at
this a little differently. What exactly is it we're trying to accomplish, Who
do we hold accountable for accomplishing it? And if the mission really is that
there are no Russians in Ukraine, people should know that Ukraine, no matter
how big the checks or how long there go, Ukraine does not have the
combat power to extract Russia from Ukraine without outside military power. They just don't.
They don't have the manpower, they don't have the combat skill to do
it, and we don't have the cash to burn at the rates you could
fund Ukraine's government because their economy, of the substance economy Ukraine, we're paying
pension funds for Ukrainian retired government officials, and frankly, the auditors are basically
over there saying, just don't do quite as much corruption, and if you
do, spread it around so you keep some stability here in Ukraine. So
let's send this again. You're a military guy. You went to West Point,
you served. I said to you off the air the odds of Russia
at some point in the months or years that saying, you know what,
we're wrong. We're going to pull out of Ukraine unilaterally, and good luck,
that'll never happen. Ukraine cannot win this war. We can bleed a
little bit, but at the end of the day, if Russia wants Ukraine,
Russia's going to get Ukraine unless we put the Third Army in and around
Kiev and we start World War I three, in which case all of us
may be killed in a nuclear holocaust of incredible proportions. And so are you
willing to have your sons and daughters die somewhere in Ukraine in a war that
they cannot win? The answer, of course many Democrats say yes, It's
almost as if they intend to destroy the country. Borrowing one hundred billion dollars
is almost a rounding error anymore. But looking at the deck clock, it's
up to about thirty five trillion dollars on its way to forty trillion. We
borrow an additional one trillion dollars every one hundred days. None of this money,
none of these moneys are paid for. We continue to borrow and borrow
and borrow. This is the most predictive calamity ever to strike this country.
And Congressman, we can't stop spending money. We can't stop. Like I
said, the mandate for Republicans is really basic. A smaller, more accountable
government and a secure border. And if you deliver on those two things,
gosh. I mean, but think how monumental the shift is. I mean,
that's why last last May was really the last truly productive thing Republicans got
done. And it wasn't an incredibly high bar. It simply was a plan
that the fiscal year twenty twenty five funding was going to be smaller than the
fiscal year twenty twenty four funding, you know or sorry, twenty twenty four
was going to be smaller than twenty twenty three. Already on to the next
approbed bills. But that's basically the bar like in its look at it.
That's not a pass to balancing. It's not all the things that should be
done, but it's just turning this giant ship to the point where you actually
spend less money. No, and not in a like, oh, we
spent less than we were intending to spend, but no, really, we
spent less money in two year. Oh I got a run. But Congressman
Warren David's in good luck for the fight. But you talk about Mike Johnson,
Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, not much difference you can
throw in, I think throwing Lindsey Graham. Not much difference. But Congresson,
once again, thanks for sharing your opinion on the Bill Cunningham show,
and keep the fight is a country's worth fighting for. It absolutely is.
God bless you and your listeners. Willis to join you. Warren Davidson thank
you very much. Let's continue. This is unbelievable. Doll Cunningham with you
every afternoon on news Radio seven hundred WULW. Don't let's spring allergies make you
miserable. Try the quick drug free solution, trusted by over four million people.
I'm tight does the job right. With the eighteenth pick, the Cincinnati
Bengals select Hello, quiet, and I'm I'm broadcasting. Eighteenth pick was Bronson
Boyman. Bronson Boyman of Harrison unbelievable. I'm glad you hear Rock to add
some civility. I'm trying to listen to Steve Roberts, Steve Roberts of ABC
News this Morning, Mike mccon Debate. He's a mouthpiece for their most radical
left politics, and there's no one to say, wait a minute, Steve
Roberts, the five thousand of contact is the same as an apprehension of the
same thing. And what that means is when you say may that doesn't mean
you must so Biden, if he was serious, the Republicans went to Biden
et cetera, or maybe if one of his uncles survived the cannibal attack and
say, look, we'll sign on to this thing. But the first thing
you issue ahead of time is stay in Mexico. Order do that first.
That that ends the debate right there. If you just had the Romain in
Mexico policy was clearly worked under Trump, We have recent evidence in it worked.
It's a poison pill. They want to have the talking point that the
Republicans walked away from the deal because they want to prove that Republicans like you
don't want to shut down the southern border. Say, is that true?
But Steve Roberts wants to say, well Trump stopped it all. No,
he didn't. He's saying, hey, I had a policy that worked.
We're not going to sit there and agree to a policy that that isn't going
to work. I can't take it. I guess James Carville was unavailable,
so we have Steve Roberts. Is that right? When do you think you
get objective factual information from any of these big time nuc No? Is it
objective and fair? Now speaking an objective and fair What if Donald Trump was
the president and his daughter came out with diaries saying my father made me shyre
with him, that we had numerous women incluing Terror Reid who said he raped
me and the college campuses are erupting with anti semit to say, what if
what wile Trump was president? What's going on right now, which is Colombia's
shut down classes because of all the anti Semitic protests, and what if that
happened under him? It's Trump's fault, his fault. The protesters are saying,
back to Poland. They want to put the Jews, put the Star
David on him and put them back in Poland. And that is passing for
liberalism today. What does Steve Roberts say about that? He had no comment?
It was Republican's fault. I see. And so if Trump's not in
office, you cover him. If he's in office, you cover him.
If he's not in office, you cover him, and ignore Nancy Pelosi,
Chuck Schumer and the anti semitism that the Democratic Party funds. Those funding this
crap are the same ones funding the Democratic campaign to cause chaos. And who's
responsible? Let me ask you, Well, Trump, of course Trump.
But let me ask you this, is there going to be a I mean,
Jewish folks have always traditionally voted Democrats. Is there going to be a
monumental shift in that if this don't bring it on. What will do you
anticipate that? Or there's thirty one thousand students at Columbia, thirty one thousand.
We're talking maybe two or three hundred shutting down the entire campus for thirty
one thousand and whose parents are to have their kids go to do virtual classes,
which means sitting your on your if is worthless. And the media ought
to cover this as the failure of democratic politics in New York City. The
pools of year. Roberts I think he's gonna have a reporter on. That's
Steve robertson're talking about only talk about Trump and the headline of the Drudge Report
Trump and his Pecker. The first witness day is a guy named Becker seg
Man. Do you have a pecker? Will he? The Studente reporters of
proud service of a local Thamestar Heating and air conditioning dealers, Thamestar Quality You
can feeling beautiful Milford the home of one main gallery called Baker Heating at five
one three eight three, one fifty one twenty four spots those red hot reds,
will he meet the red hot fills, tonight red sweep of the Angels
and the Phills come to town with Kyle Schwarber, the Pride of Middletown winners
six in a row. By the way, since James Carvill is unavailable,
let's get Steve Roberts the other way. We'll get some objective information. Correct,
Please continue? Five point forty was Sports Talk and the Rnell Carriers Inside
Pitch the Kelsey Chevrolet Extraitting Show. After the game, Hutter Green will be
opposed by Ranger Suarez tonight in the opener, you know what the Reds are?
Hunter Green on the mound. What's the record of the Reds? Not
good? Zero and four? He's the worst pitcher we got? And which
one? Which one did they sign to the long term deal? Hunter Green?
Please continue? And then they gave that another guy amount of money and
Hunter and Homer Bailey. How about Jibbo? What's he doing? He's sitting
around. He's in a farm somewhere. Yeah, NKUS higher Jeff Hans as
it's next women's basketball coach. Hans that's spent fourteen season as Thomas Moore,
three hundred and thirty nine wins and two NCAA Division three national championship. How
about this sign in Columbia burned tel Aviv to the ground, killed Jews back
to Poland. Sounds like the kind of stuff Steve Roberts would care about.
Wait, all that is is expressing your First Amendment right, That's all it
is. It's not calling for violence. We're not calling for violence. We're
not calling for no no, no, this is Stephen Roberts treatment. What
do he deal with this? Steve Roberts kill the Jews back to Poland.
Let's talk about Trump and his pecker. Okay Si, please continue. In
golf, Nelly Korda tied the LPGA mark by winning a fifth straight tournament,
taking the Chevron Championship yesterday. This is outrageous. How come she's not paid
more money than Scotty Scheffler. And Scotty Scheffler won the irragn delayed RBC Heritage
today Pocket's three point six million, while miss Korda gets one point two million.
Win outrage, Let's equalize it. It's not fair on you know,
the PGA tour. They have millions of listeners, they have millions of fans,
they have billions and merchandise sales. The TV ratings are through the roof,
but the women have none of that. Let's play him the same correct.
Talk to Steve Roberts about that? Will you well? All right,
go ahead, let's see. Congrats to Lawrenceburg, Indiana's Mason Parris. He
made the US Olympic wrestling team and trials over the weekend in Pennsylvania. He's
going to be in the heavyweight division coming up in Paris. Has uh?
Steve Roberts talked about the showers Joe Biden took with his daughter. Has he
talked about Tara Reid had to flee the country, a woman that Joe Biden
raped, and everyone followed the money about him buying his houses, throw the
cash out of Ukraine and China? Is Steve Roberts concerned about that? How
about Donald Trump and his pecker all day long? Please continue? Also,

liar? When you have the US, should Marty get one? I mean
he's already we can't talk about that. He's a private. But I'm going
to ask Steve Roberts that the US Department of Justice, through Robert her determined
that the current president is incapable of understanding or sitting in a courtroom, and
that he's frail and elderly and can't comprehend things, and he thinks his uncles
are being eaten by Can Trump do the same thing? Biden didn't say,
Look, I'm just mentally unfit to stand trial, and they just kind of
brush it in. If he's mentally unfit to stand trial, how can to
be the president? One might ask Steve Roberts deal with Have I have I
missed something on him? Not had that revelation? How many presidents have said
their uncles are eaten by cannibals? Hey, Steve, what about that one?
Bud? I can see him with a pipe and a big lounge leather
chair with an ascot on, just reminiscing about politics, yes, ruminating about
ABC strength and Monica Lewinsky, Paula Corbyn, Jones and all the crew.
I love it all. Barack Obama, all the scandals he had in Chicago,
the media kept quiet. Can't talk about those. But Donald Trump,

I don't know. You've had enough. You can't take it. We've
had enough, uh know, right out of the gate. I'm sure you

sounds like a good idea. Dear to me, We're gonna take some calls
