I believe coming in the Great American welcome this Tuesday afternoon with triesday. I'm
not sure something happened last night out of Atlanta. We're still going to look
at the take, but that's a night. Ritch Baseball picks off about forty
with Glants and the Ohio Cup is on the line. The Cleveland Baseball Club
aka the Guardians guarding what I have no idea, are in town for two
and then off on Thursday, and then Toronto the Birds are in down the
Blue Jays and more. But right now, despite the alleged bad weather of
yesterday, record crowds are showing up. But the Western or Southern ten is
open in Mason, And of course the big issue is whether Ben Navarro,
whose daughter Emma is the doubles partner of Peyton Stearns, is going to keep
the tournament here or take it elsewhere. Most of the media, including Tony
Benners, that is as good as gone. It's got no chance. But
we're going to go right to the source of this thing, which is,
of course the Commissioner of Warren County, David Young of Sycamore High School,
that has spent spent the last several months trying to make this still happen.
And once again, Commissioner David Young, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And first of all, I know you were sleeping last night in your palatial
estate, your horse farm somewhere outside of Lebanon. But do you have some
comment on the further indictment of Donald Trump by Democratic prosecutors all over the world.
We live in very interesting times, Willie, and so I know you're
going to spend a heck of a lot of time talking on this. I'm
a little more focused on the current events that are going on right before me
in Warren County. Well, let's talk about the view points of many in
the media that say I wanted to get the generic viewpoint, then I'll get
into these specifics. Generally speaking, as we sit here Tuesday afternoon, about
twelve ten pm in the afternoon, are you pessimistic, reasonably pessimistic, optimistic,
reasonably optimistic? Is it dread? Is it glory? Where are we
politically about the tournament? If anywhere on the spectrum of pessimistic to optimistic,
I am reasonably optimistic that that tennis tournament is going to remain reasonably optimistic.
Is a bright sunny day. No matter what the cloud over our heads here
in Levin, in our it's a bright sunny day. When it comes to
tennis, we are in good shape. Well, it's not a done deal,
Willie. It's not a done deal. That there is still a risk,
but we have made a heck of a lot of progress in the last
month or two. I was told by some in the media that when a
rich guy like Ben Navarro buy something, it's nice and shiny. He's worth
about seven to ten billion dollars. He's rich and famous in the Carolinas.
But frankly I never heard of this guy. But nonetheless that when you buy
something, you wouldn't take it home with you and shine it up and put
it on your mantle. Why wouldn't Ben Navarro, whose daughter is into tennis
big time, Emma, I want to take this thing back home with him
to the Carolinas and say goodbye to Mason. Why wouldn't he do that.
Ben Navarro, who I actually spent some time with the last couple of days,
is number one, a super smart person. Number two, he has
a very big heart for tennis and what that does for the community. Number
Three, he's got a commune a sense of community where he really is trying
to give back to the community. He's trying to do programming. The guy
owns schools in the Carolinas Willie because he didn't like some of the things in
the education system and was trying to help kids. I mean, so he's
really tries to make an impact on the things he does. And in Warren
County we support free market capitalism. That doesn't exist in a lot of governments
these days, but inside of Warren County we support free market capitalism. So
we support his right to spend reportedly two hundred and fifty three hundred million dollars
on the rights to this tournament. Now it's his, he has the sole
discretion on where he wants this asset to be played for decades moving forward.
So and remember the first thing I want to remind people of. There's a
lot of people that think, well, whyde Western and Southern sell it,
or why did the Lendar family sell this? They didn't own it. This
was sold more than a decade ago to the US Tennis Association. The US
Tennis Association spent six hundred million dollars upgrading Plushing Meadows in New York, where
they played the US Open right before COVID hit. They had no revenue coming
in, so they had to sell some assets. They sold Madrid in Spain,
and then they sold the Western Southern for reportedly upwards A three hundred million,
So just to be clear, it's not Western Southern's fault, it's not
the Lendar family's fault. The USTA needed to raise some cash, so the
Chinese communists dead it again to us with COVID, USTA's losing some serious jack
and they say, let's sell Madrid. Madrid's I don't think Madrid's worth the
damn thing. I've been there a couple of times. Terrible city. But
nonetheless I brought him three hundred mil. And then the US and Southern brought
him three hundred mil for the USTA, so they got six hundred million to
continue refurbishing Flushing Meadow and make it look great. So we're a screwed,
blue, tattooed and barbecued. Let's break down A and B. A is
the Queen City, Cincinnati, A is Mason. How much money does Ben
Navarro one out of our out of our blood and Mason and Cincinnati for it
to stay here? Good question. I would not characterize it as any type
of a threat, any type because again, we are all as a society
very sensitive professional sports owners, right that there for a decade or so,
especially NFL owners were holding up, hey you like my team, well then
you've got to pay for it. You've got to do this, do this
for me, do that for me. And there was this game. If
you don't do it, then I'm just going to move it. That's not
what's going on here. This has been a very reasonable quest of He's willing
to put two out of three dollars into the deal that hey, this is
what the upgrades or this is in Charlotte, you know, building from scratch,
this is what it's going to cost. I'll pay two dollars for every
one dollar that the community invest back in this project, which again in today's
world, in my opinion, is a very reasonable request. How much money
total, So Ben's gonna put up two thirds that's a big term. We
will put up one third. How much money will Ben put up to keep
it in Mason? The public reports as of now were one hundred and fifty
million dollars, of which he asked for fifty million dollars from city, County,
state officials, So fifty million. So he's writing a check for one
hundred and we the people are coming up with fifty and that's what's been asked
for to date. And we consist of Mason, City of Mason run by
Don Rents and Linda Coffee by Deer Park running mates. So the fifty mill
total comes from Mason, Warren County, the corporate community, the rich folks,
the lenders, the farmers, the Barretts, and also ticket whatever it
is we put up fifty, he puts up about one hundred, one hundred
and fifty total, and so we put up fifty, puts up one hundred,
and we have a world class tennis facility, second to none in the
world, even better than Wimbledon. Now, if he goes to the Queen
City of the Carolina's Charlotte, and how much money, what's the cost there
and what does he put up? Closer to four hundred million, and the
city, the County of Mecklenburg, and the state of North Carolina will offered
one hundred and thirty million on a four hundred million dollar project, about a
third of the cost. So Old Dade's got to come up with about two
hundred and seventy million on top of the three hundred million. Now we're talking
about some serious money. At this point, he'll be five six seven hundred
million dollars of his own cash into tennis. And to be fair, he
didn't become a billionaire by making dumb financial decisions. Investing in tennis is not
his highest return on capitol. He could go do all sorts of other deals.
This really is because it's I believe it's more of a legacy issue.
He believes in the sport, he believes in health and wellness, He believes
in the people having fun and getting out and being engaged in this. He
does a lot of concerts at the tournament he bought down in Charleston, so
there's a lot of community events. And admittedly the tennis facility in Mason is
underutilized. Why because the USTA controlled it and we've had some events out there,
but it certainly from a community standpoint, is underutilized. And part of
the programming part of this deal, of the improvements that are going to go
on, there would be a community benefit, you know, pickleball things like
that. They could go on year round. Small all our venue concerts I
mean down in Charleston. He brought in Luke Bryan Elton. John don't know
if you've ever heard of him. I mean some pretty big name folks at
at his venue there. So there's all sorts of opportunities to again inside of
Warren County, our number one industry willing and a lot of folks don't understand.
This is tourism. You do millions of people per year, this is
what we do. King's Island brings in millions of people shopping. The antiquing
in Lebanon in springbro unbelievable. And then we went and did if you remember
a few years ago we did a Warren County Sports Park that hey, Johnny
comes in and everybody's telling Johnny, you're the best soccer player in the history
of soccer players. You know, eight year old Johnny, you happen to
lose in the first round. Shocking. What do you do? Do you
go home? No, I'm going to King's Island. It's not a big
deal as opposed to doing in some other venue throughout the Midwest. So they
projected to have seven hundred thousand visitors a year at our sports complex. Willie
this year top a million. And when you talk about You've got Mason,
which is operating for like one hundred and twenty five years almost, and Bendavaro
puts up three hundred mill to buy the tournament. He then has to start
from scratch and Charlotte spade in the ground. Here we go. We got
it, And that would cost him, by my simple deer Park math,
at least one hundred million dollars more to do it in Charlotte. And in
Mason, you have a facility which I think is fabulous. I've been there
almost every year with John Barrett and it's wonderful, except it needs serious upgrades.
And you representing Warren County with Mason, and the rich folks in Cincinnati
are going to put up one hundred million dollars. Ben put up fifty million.
This thing's gonna look like Wimbledon. Or he can start from scratch without
the volunteers, without the connection in the community in more or less his home
area. Yeah, but you can live anywhere he once. What would you
do if you were Ben Navarrow? Listen? There are advantages from starting from
scratch, having this looking like exactly the way I want it, laid out
the way I want it. There's advantages to that. However, there's disadvantages.
Number one. He's you know, where it is along a river.
There's environmental issues, there's zoning issues. You have a different maybe philosophy from
the government in that particular area. That doesn't you know, dread taxes and
things like that, like like we do. And maybe, hey, there's
now four hundred thousand people coming into our community, maybe we look at a
ticket tax something like that. I don't know. I mean, but Charlotte
is a great community. I'm not saying anything bad about them at all.
They can compete. But Warren County and Mason we do have something going on
here. Willie that now, you know, this facility has been here,
this tournament's been here one hundred and twenty four years. We have the base,
we have the brand, and now we're looking to enhance it. Now
we're looking to take it because what's going on here. It's going from a
one week tournament bringing in close to two hundred thousand people to a two week
tournament much like Wimbledon and the US Open bringing in literally four hundred thousand people.
It's such a big deal. I was there yesterday talking to these two
nice ladies that we're up from Memphis and this is their favorite trip, and
you know, they go to Tony's restaurants and they go to here and they're
trying skyline. You know, they're just going around shopping, doing this,
having a great time, watching world class tennis and being super close to the
participants, which is something that you don't even get here that when we have
this is just such a great event. It's honestly the region's only real global
asset the Reds and Bengels, who obviously I support and I'm still trying to
play for the Reds, but they've gotten a little good for me this year.
Those are great national treasures, but they are not exactly international assets.
There's almost a billion people that are tennis fans starting. You know, the
number one sport in the world is soccer, and believe it or not,
number two, it's like cricket, and then tennis is right there with a
billion fans. This is such an international event, and I keep saying it,
the Western Southern Open has more hits to the website from international viewers than
the Reds and Bengals get combined. Well, we so you're saying, as
far as getting the powers that be, have you coordinated a meeting with the
Shakers and Movers and the Krem the Kreme of Greater Cincinnati with Ben Navarro,
so equals can talk to equals about what Fifth Third Bank, Sintas, Western
and Southern, Joseph Chevrolet, et cetera want to do. McKinley Mortgage.
The heavy hitters in town have come together and have they met up with Ben
Navarro. I will say the heavy hitters in Cincinnati. Ben Navaro is hustling
these working I was part of one of those meetings with one of the biggest
corporations in town. Yesterday. He had at least two more of those meeting
with the CEOs of the big boy companies in town. And I don't want
to get into specifics. He's meeting with the big boys in town and he's
hustling. He's doing it personally because he wants this buying. He doesn't have
the relationships here like he does in other areas, so that's where he's reaching
out. He's expressing his vision what he wants us to look like. And
it's not this reactive. I don't want to necessarily tell our business community,
and I've told them this directly. It's not necessarily. Oh, we're now
at the last minute trying to save our tournament. No, what this guy's
got going on is awesome. We need to buy into this vision and be
part of this. Not what it looks like today, Willie, what's this
going to look like in three, four, ten years. This is such
a big deal. It's such a great opportunity, which is why you have
such a major league player in the city of Charlotte, literally chomping at the
bit trying to take us, take our asset. And again, I'm from
Blue ash you. As you mentioned, I went to Sycamore Man. I
hate to lose now. Lastly, if one means it's gone, and ten
means it's here for the next one hundred and twenty four years. As we
sit here this Tuesday afternoon, where are we between one and ten? I
think we're a six, if not pushing seven. But it stays all right,
let's leave it there. I'll come out and visit you again, and
if Ben Navarro wants to come on the Big One, we could do a
show with Willie and Ben. And if he wants to talk to the American
people, we'll do it. He's an interesting character. He's done really well,
humble beginnings, grew up in Indiana, self made, so I think
you would like it. All right, Let's set up the meeting between the
power brokers and see what happens once again, David Young, the Commission,
you're a six point five one no, ten, Yes, and you're a
six point five as of twelve to twenty five pm Tuesday afternoon. Is that
correct? Because I sit in the global headquarters of Warren County on four or
six Justice Drive, I'm telling you I think we're in decent shape. David
Young, thank you very much for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. God
bless you, Willie, and God bless America. Thank you. Let's continue
with more your reaction aventy five point three seven four nine, seven thousand plus.
I want to break down the indictments of Donald Trump again and again and
again and what's going to happen down the road. Believe me, it's not
as bad as you think it is. I'm an expert on four forty one
removal of state criminal charges to federal court. What are the parameters and why
will it happen? Because you can if Fanny Willis and that crowd in Atlanta
having a criminal trial involving the former and future president of the United States when
their county jail is under federal supervision because bedbugs and cockroaches eight an inmate.
You can't have that. Don't eat Donald Trump. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven
hundredth WLW. It's gonna be okay. Breathe out, breathe in, It's
gonna be okay. Watching that circus last night left me feeling less as being
a barrister than at any recent time in my history. To look at a
local county prosecutor in dieting the past and future president of the United States for
crimes committed allegedly in the oval office during a federal election means that if this
thing stands down the road, Joe Biden better get ready to report to prison,
and the next time a Republican becomes the president, special counsel will be
going after the Clintons and al Gore and Barack Hussaint Obama and throwing Joe Biden
and throwing Nancy Pelosi, throw in a Senator Dian Feinstein, all of whom
having enriched themselves at the trough for years, making hundreds of millions of dollars,
probably illegally but go back a little bit in time. First of all,
there's a clear federal statute and just a little bit of case history in
removing state criminal charges to federal court. The reason being if it's a federal
officer and the performance of his or her duties conducting an act that some local
prosecutor determines to be criminal. For example, let's say our current prosecutor in
Hamilton County, the Great Melissa Powers, and or Rob Sanders and or Mike
Moser in Butler County have someone in their jurisdiction who was killed in Afghanistan during
the debacle, when those thirteen brave men and women were killed by terrorists in
and around Cobble trying to get out of dodge and say lists of Powers said,
you know what, that was a criminal act committed by Joe Biden's commander
in chief. He was told not to do that by the Secretary of Defense
and by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Both told him that is a
bad move to make, but he did it nonetheless. And so in office,
the President made a decision resulting an injury to one of the citizens living
whose residence is in Hamlety County. So I'm gonna go to him in the
county grand jury, and I'm gonna get an indictment not just against Joe Biden,
but also an indictment against his chief of staff, wherever the hell that
is, and also the lawyers who advised Joe Biden to do that. Imagine
if Rob Sanders, who was with us yesterday, said, you know what,
I have a lot of free time, not much crime being committed in
Covington. I'm going to convene to Kent County Grand Jury to begin investigations of
criminal aspects of Joe Biden's taking briberies and bags of cash from all over the
world. And we can't have that. This is a conspiracy and furtherance of
an illegal act. And I'm going to spend maybe two and a half years,
or in this case, almost three years investigating Joe Biden, and then
when he runs for reelection, I'll announce these indictments on live television with some
clown clerk following with the pieces of paper to make a look as if I'm
going to bring down the president. How would that play? Rob Sanders,
Melissa Powers, Mike Moser, local prosecutors going after a federal official, conducting
the Federal office while in office in the Oval Office, it is alleged by
Fannie Willis, who by the way, runs an office that is being sued
by the federal government for incompetence and mismanagement, claims that twelve Trump tweets or
in furtherance of a conspiracy that meadows the chief of staff asking on a voicemail
message for a telephone number is an overt act and furtherance of a criminal conspiracy,
the object of which was would be to take away the votes of the
people of Georgia. This is unbelievable. In one passage the indictment stage,
quote honor about the third day of December twenty twenty. By the way,
on the third day of December twenty twenty, who was the serving president?
That would be Donald John Trump calls to be tweeted from his Twitter account quote
Georgia hearings now on amazing unquote. So when he tweeted that as the president,
that quote honor about the third day of December twenty twenty, Donald John
Trump caused to be tweeted from the Twitter account of at real Donald Trump,
Georgia hearings now on amazing that that was an overt act in furtherance of a
criminal conspiracy. Further honor, About December the thirtieth, twenty twenty, Donald
John Trump caused to be tweeted from the Twitter account of Real Donald Trump quote
hearings from Atlanta on the Georgia election overturn now being broadcast live via RSB network.
Now that was an overt act and furtherance of a criminal conspiracy. About
this one, honor. About November twenty one, twenty twenty, right after
the election, Mark Randall Meadows sent a text message to US Representative Scott Perry
from Pennsylvania instead of quote, can you send me the number for the speaker
and the leader of the PA Legislature, potus wants to chat with them.
Unt Now, that on behalf of Mark Meadows was an overt act and further
into a criminal conspiracy. What That's what we're dealing with here. And so
you have a local prosecutor and a deep blue city, a deep blue city,
and generally a red state, spending two and a half years investigating dozens
and dozens of individuals committing forty one felonies allegedly with one hundred and seventy one
acts and further inst thereof, with the City of Atlanta in complete meltdown,
Buckhead and other parts, when to get the hell out of the City of
Atlanta. They can't take it anymore. She has nothing better to do than
to prosecute the presidential chief of staff for acts committed while in office. So
we have something called the Presidential Immunity Act, and we have the Removal Act,
which rarely but does, permit the federal courts of the Supremacy Clause and
the Constitution to take away from state actors the criminal prosecution of a federal official
committing a federal act while in office. Because of the fear of political chicanery
happening within little cities and little counties in this country which would disrupt the administration
of justice. This case, in my viewpoint write this down twelve forty seven
PM in August of fifteenth will be removed to federal court, in which case
the jurors would be drawn from the Northern District of Georgia, of which Atlanta
is a part but not the dominant part, and Fanny Willis will be taken
off the case. Now, should that happen, Absolutely, will it happen?
I think so, because you can have one of four thousand county prosecutors
investigating federal officials and the perform moments of their official duties while in office.
There's no residency of Donald Trump in Georgia or Ohio or elsewhere. So but
that I mean, if President Trump, while in office would pull a gun
out of his top drawer and fly to Georgia and walk into an Atlanta bank
and hold it up, he's not in further into of his federal responsibilities of
federal duties. That's a separate act, which by the way, cannot be
prosecuted while he's in office because he's the commander in chief of the military.
But after he left office, absolutely, if Donald Trump or anyone else in
a federal office conducting their federal responsibilities while in office commits a criminal act,
that person can be charged in federal court down the road. But the charging
in a state court of a federal violation is iffy at best, especially when
you're in a meltdown situation in Atlanta and which the schools stink, in which
the county jail is being sued by the Feds for allowing an inmate to be
eaten by bugs, when the entire City of Atlanta, A large part thereof
wants to vacate its jurisdiction because of the incompetence of Fanny Willis and others that
they want out. Buckhead, a chunk of Atlanta says, we can't take
it anymore. She has wasted two and a half plus years of investigating a
federal official and the performance of his federal duties. Whether you like it or
not, Donald Trump thought the election was stolen, and under a various US
statutes. As the chief law enforcement officer, he's got a duty to maintain
investigations to determine what happened. And he might have been wrong. He might
have been, but he had the color of color of federal protection of the
Presidential Immunity Act and also the protection of the Department of Justice, who says
that a federal official cannot have criminal charges brought against him and the reasonable performance
of his or her duties. If a soldier in a rock who's a federal
in the sense of federal official, wrongfully kills someone in a rock, it's
up to the military to handle that prosecution, not up to the county prosecutor,
completely outside the jurisdiction. If this continues, there's gonna be Republican prosecutors
filing criminal charges against Joe Biden, against Kamala Harris, and a whole host
of Democrats who while in office have committed criminal acts, and jurisdiction on an
Rico statue goes back twenty years. This is a bridge, shall we say,
too far? And I can't imagine that Jack Smith, the federal prosecutor,
is happy about this. First of all, he has a four count
federal indictment pending against Donald Trump, which I think is a bunch of bs.
In Washington, DC, or the Democratic versus registration levels are nineteen to
one Democratic for every one Republican in Washington DC, there's nineteen Democrats. And
one of the witnesses he has against Donald Trump, and the federal case is
Mark Meadows, the chief of staff, who was not indicted by the Feds.
They want to use Mark Meadows as a witness against Donald Trump. But
in the Georgia case, the local prosecutor has filed serious felony charges against Mark
Meadows for essentially the same conduct. How's it possible in the federal system,
He's a witness desired to be used by US Attorney Jack Smith, But in
the state system, he's a defendant. How does that work? The answer
is it doesn't. Mike got Away in trouble. And I've said many times
in many places that over many years, in decades, the cancer cells of
liberal Democrats have infected almost every part and destroyed of system or foundations of which
it's become a significant part. For example, marriage, almost nonexistent, family
life as we knew it to be, almost non existent. School districts,
the functioning school districts like CPS or Louisville or downtown Dayton public schools, are
you kidding me? Completely run by Democrats, Utterly dysfunctional, criminal justice systems
run by prosecutors in chiefs of police appointed by city councils like in Austin,
Texas, or Baltimore, Cincinnati or Dayton Louisville, can't get the buses run
onto Completely infected, about to advanced education, colleges, universities, completely infected
with the cancer cells of today's liberalism, not the Democratic Party itself, but
liberalism, progressivism, and Marxism. And now they want to criminalize legitimate behavior
by Donald Trump, to lock him up so that he cannot run for reelection
in a functional way. He'll be tied down by up to one hundred indictments
containing a thousand years in prison five hundred million dollars in legal fees by a
local county prosecutor who wants to make a name for herself. It's gonna happen.
It won't happen, of course, with Melissa Powers, but a completely
incompetent Republican local prosecutor somewhere will file criminal charges against Joe Biden and Barack Usain
Obama for acts committed while in their federal office says, and that will be
as ridiculous as what happened last night. This cannot stand. My concern is
this politically, And by the way, in about twelve minutes, I have
a live update from the courtroom of Joe Mixon that's coming up in twelve minutes.
But nonetheless, mark my words on this one too, that we've crossed
the Rubicon with the Army of Rome to attack the Democratic Party has caused these
charges to be filed, whether by Joe Biden and Mary Garland or the prosecutors
in New York and or Atlanta, and Jack Smith, who's got a terrible
record in prosecuting Republicans and at the end of the day, Donald Trump will
not spend one day in prison because these cases will be removed to federal court.
He'll get a fair shake and they'll be dismissed or found not guilty.
But what's going to happen is the occasional voter, generally who lives in the
suburbs, who go back and forth between the Democrats and the Republicans. And
you heard it from the ABC News reporting with with Brian Combs that many have
had it up to here with the drama of Donald Trump's life. This great
American has not goes of his success in office as the commander in chief and
the president. But there's lots of Republicans who see, I can't take it
anymore. The occasional voter, maybe about a million voters in five states that
will determine the outcome of the election, have added up to here with the
drama of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and Donald Trump, etc. And may
sit out the election or say to hell with it, I'm going to some
other direction. The country now has crossed the rubicon and we are in trouble.
Now, let's continue and if the line becomes available five one, three,
seven, four nine seven thousands, Melissa Powers, should she consider indicting
Joe Biden right now and holding the indictment until it gets out of office,
then bring him to Hambleton County to be prosecuted rox committed in the presidency.
M let's continue. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred w Oltiviu, James Bogan,
Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And James, you're there in
the bowels of the Hamlety County Courthouse in front of Judge Bender. I think
the aunt of Tony Bender, Gwen Bender, is the judge. And what
two or three things have you found you're sitting there in the state of awe
versus Joe Mixon. What two or three things have stuck out in your mind?
But first of all, Tony Bender wants to know what are the elements
of aggravated menacing and what have the State's shown so far? If anything,
well, Aggravated menacing is basically making a threat of serious bodily harm. And
basically what you have here is Joe Mixon is charged with putting a gun at
this woman and is telling her basically making a threatening remark. Basically, no
person shall knowingly cause another to believe that the offender will cause serious harm to
the person or property of the other person, or the other person person unborn,
or remember the immediate family. And so basically that's what you have here.
So in this case, in order to prove that Joe Mixon, on
his way to the stadium to get on a bus and then a plane to
get to Buffalo the state of a high would have to prove that he brandished
a firearm, putting the victim in fear of serious bodily harm or death or
an unborn baby, which I guess doesn't exist in reality, but does exist
in criminal statutes. And so they'd have to prove that Joe Mixon, who
was cut off in traffic by her or vice versa, that he brandished a
firearm and put her in fear of her life. Is that correct? Actually
he's the one who cut her off. And that's where it gets good.
Well, I explain it, kind of walk us through the fact pattern because
I saw some of it last night Channel nine, some of this in video.
Explain what happened. Well, this is what came out on cross examination
to day. I was watching Merlin Shiver Deecker cross examined the officer who took
the report, and the woman had testified yesterday, and it looked like Merlin
had a transcript of her testimony from yesterday, and basically what came out yesterday
appears that Joe Mixon cut her off and she was behind him, and then
she testified that she thought something was going to go awry, so she took
a picture of his license plate. And then if you think something's gonna go
awry, why do you put beside them and start yelling at them? Pull
down, roll down your window and start yelling at them. So let's stop
at this point. Unfortunately, I've cut a few people off in traffic myself,
and I've been cut off. It's called road rage. I don't respond.
I keep a low profile, I slow down. I avoid this circumstance.
So this woman claims that Joe Mixon, number twenty eight of the Bengals
cut her off, and then she took a picture I imagined through her windshield
of the vehicle with the license plate to identify the person that did it.
Instead of slowing down or going some other route, she did what she pulled
beside him. They were at the light. She could have stayed behind him
at the light, there would have been no contact between them. They both
would have gone on their merry way. But instead she chose to pull beside
him, roll down her window, and start yelling some choice words at him.
Well some you can't use those words, but may I say profanity was
used by her? Yep? Okay? And at that point when she used
profanity against Joe, I would imagine this was in January. I recall the
temperature here was in the forties. It was cold. He'd have to pull
He'd have to put his passengers side window down. Is that correct? I
think so? And basically, yeah, basically he would have had to pose
window down. And you know, I mean, who's gonna pull pull down
their window in January, Well, unless you want the confrontation. So the
person that initiated the confrontation person a person was the so called victim, and
not Joe Mixon, because Joe Mixon cutting her off often is not a knowing
act. But when instead of staying behind somebody, when that's happening to you
or me, which stay about thirty forty feet behind this person, you don't
know what kind of fool is going to be in that car, So you
don't instigate any future behavior while pulling up next pulling down the window and shouting
some x DIBs. And now she claims, what did Joe Mixon do at
that point? Does she claim that he brandishes gun and made a threatening remark,
which is something something in the effect I'm gonna shoot you in the face
and the police won't do a thing about it, something like that, something
like that. Now, what should she say in reaction to that? Oh,
she that's the thing she said. She said something back to him on
the stand. She said something back to him where I can't use the words
here, okay, But but does she say go ahead and shoot something to
that effect, something like if you're gonna pull the gun, use it and
using some choice expletives words to that effect. I'm paraphrasing that quoting so according
to Mixon quote according to the woman said this. There's no recording. The
woman said this quote you should be the Mixon said to her, you should
be popped in the face. I should shoot you. The police can't blank
get me. And then a reaction to that, she said, she said,
what something along the lines of, if you're gonna pull that gun,
use it. Of course, with some expletives thrown in there. Well,
you're like a person. I'm like a person. If somebody is brandishing a
firearm in my direction, do I encourage them to shoot? No? And
again, if somebody's cut me off and I think something's gonna go awry,
I'm gonna stay behind him and not pulled aside them. Well she did,
she admits she did that, correct. Yes. Then after that comment,
back and forth occurred. And as I understand it from talking to somebody involved
in the case, that allegedly Joe Mixon had this handgun, which was a
smaller handgun, in his left hand, and she said, in order to
operate the drivers and the passenger's side window, the controls are on the left,
he'd have to take his left hand to use that to brandish to farm
in her direction, then across his body, take the right hand and pull
down the window, which one might say was unnatural acts committed. He's also
right handed. Well, so he's a right handed allegedly using his left hand
and the gun. Now and when this transpired, the words when she said,
go ahead and use it, which I find unbelievable for a woman.
She also made some implied racial epithets is that correct. I'm not I wasn't
there for that part of the trial, so I'm not sure exactly what she
said, but she did get quite colorful, or that's how she apparently described
it, understand. Yeah, And during her testimony, she said she fared
for her life during the fifteen to twenty second encounter, but even with that
fear, she tends to opt for she's trying to use to stay in your
ground law. But also she called Mixon uh. The Well defense also mentioned
how she she called Joe Mixon the word uh that rhymes with rich, that
begins with B. And would you agree they're calling a black man the B
word as a form of a slap in the face, the defense asked the
victim, and she said no, so she yeah, go ahead, that
was the colorful language I was referring to. Yeah, And then the victim
said race had nothing to do with it. But she also said that you're
the problem with this world, looking at looking at and the whole thing took
place of her fifteen to twenty seconds. Yeah, And Merlin did a good
job of establishing on Cross that she wasn't never showed signs of being afraid in
fee but actually being mad. Well, isn't fear a key element of aggregated
menacing? Yes, it is, and quite frankly, if someone pulls a
gun on you. I mean, I'm not a psychologist, but I have
a hard time seeing how you'd be angry, angry and not, you know,
afraid. Like, holy crap, someone pulled a gun on me.
Normally that would cause somebody to fear something. But in her case, she
said, from her own statement, she said she was angry at him.
She didn't say I feared he was angry. The words angry and upset were
the ones that appeared to keep popping up. That's Merlin did a good job
of pointing that out on cross examination. So if in fact, she was
not in fear, that means the state did not prove a critical element of
the case. Yeah, and this is really a he said, she said
case because there's nothing to corroborate her story. Well, I've seen some of
the videotape, but the videotape doesn't contain any language because it's taken from Fort
Washington Way. You can see Joe Mixon's jeep kind of cut off a vehicle.
Then you can see her pull up next to him. And the whole
incident was done in fifteen seconds. Now, after this incident took place in
which she said use it, referring to his gun, Joe said, I
didn't have a gun because I was going to pay Horse Stadium, and you
can't have a gun at pay Horse Stadium. It's an NFL facility. You'd
be suspended for life if you do that. What did she do thereafter?
Immediately? I didn't get that part because again I didn't see her testimony yesterday.
I just caught the part where Merlin was picking apart the things she told
the officer in herhavior and body language with the officer. In previous testimony,
she testified I knew there was a police substation at the Banks. She said
she went from Third and Walnut to the Banks to make a police report and
showed the photo of the cheap Yeah. She was also showed a photo lineup
where the only all the other photos in the lineup had the hype thing that
would indicate it's a monk shot. So how did she identify She said she
didn't know Joe Mixon was a famous football player. How'd she identify him then
as the driver of that vehicle? Because sometimes other people drive your car,
or even though it was registered to Joe Mixon, could have been somebody else.
How'd she identify Joe Mixon? She was it wasn't a photo lineup that
was done according to the rules, but well, it was a photo one
of those photo pac lineups where an officer who's not investigating it is given of
a series of folders, each containing a photograph, where each has shown one
at a time. But Merlin pointed out on cross examination that all the other
photos in that array were basically mug shots. You see the you know,
the height thing behind them, which you only have with mug shots. And
then you had Joe Mixon's driver's license photo, and so that people all the
other people had different hair too, and so the one photo of the one
person who's the defendant appeared different than the other photos in the lineup. That's
what Merlin was pointing out. Isn't that wrong because you have to have you
have to have photos that look similarly, And if one person doesn't have the
numbers behind their head, that seems to indicate that that's Joe Mixon. And
by now she surely knows it's Joe Mixon. Correct At this point. Correct,
correct, unless she's been living in a cave. All right, So
what's your sense this is being tried to Judge Bender? Gwen Bender, former
pres. You know sometimes we lawyers have a sense of the courtroom. What's
your sense of the courtroom? Judge Bender? My experience with her, she's
always been very fair. She's firm, but fair, always gives you a
fair shake. She was very fair and even handed when she was a prosecutor,
and so she'd have to find beyond a reasonable doubt that I believe the
woman. And well, Joe Mixon is testifying, I guess tomorrow, is
that correct? Tomorrow afternoon, that's my understanding. They're going to get going
maybe around one thirty, I think, can you imagine. And Joe Mixon,
I'm told by those in the business that if he's convicted of using a
firearm in order to menace a person, that he's facing an immediate suspension from
the Bengals. Plus if he's convicted and then sentenced maybe in a month or
two, that there's a probability he'll never play football again, because when the
NFL office finds out that one of its players is brandishing a gun and convicted
thereof, and then also that would have meant who would have taken that gun
which he denies having to Paul Brown Stadium slash pay Corps. I'm not sure
what it was called a year and a half ago in an NFL facility.
That is, that's a no, no, you can't have a firearm if
you're an NFL player in an NFL stadium, And that means that if he
explained that, Here's the thing that gets me, Bill, was that kind
of strict rule never's That's one thing. But I just wonder why after this
report was filed that day, his car has obviously parked at pay Course Stadium.
It's not going anywhere. There was never a search warrnt of a car
or anything like that. So the police could have, well, he was
gone for several hours. They left about three hours ahead of time, four
hours out of time, and he was gone for a day and a half,
and so they could have proven if the police had gotten a search warrant
and gone into his vehicle or waited for him to come back and use the
key to get into the car, they could have searched the car at that
point and found or not located a gun, or have found the lack of
a gun. Yeah, and the police did not do that. No,
they didn't. Well, that's important, and then I would say, so
I will see what happens. But the career and maybe the Bengals. I
told the defense team and parts thereof that their success may mean the Bengals go
to the super Bowl. If they're unsuccessful, it could be a bad year
for the Bengals and Joe Mixon because he won't play. I can't imagine the
NFL allowing Joe Mixon to play. If he's convicted brandishing a firearm and taking
it into an NFL stadium, I can't imagine him playing football anymore. Yeah,
I mean, I think, though I'm leaning towards this is probably gonna
go go not guilty. I just when I watched what Merlin brought out today,
the defense really could I mean, the prosecution couldn't. Wasn't really able
to rehabilitate from that too. Well, in my opinion, just because you're
stuck with the facts that you have to work with. Well, James Bogan,
thank you, and we'll see what happens tomorrow and Thursday. But once
again, thank you for coming on The Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you,
James. Thanks Bill. Always a privilege. Let's continue more. That's James
Bogan, one of the great criminal offense attorneys in town, alive from the
courtroom of Joe Mixon, Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WT. He
looks up, bye bye, Baban po that one deep into the pirate's bullepin,
that flew over the reds bullpen into the pirate's pin, and day La
Cruz will touch them all is home run of the season four hundred and forty
two feet Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, quiet, and
I'm I'm broadcasting, so I'm gonna say this to you. I love you,
but you're not a serious person. One thing tonight, mister Dayla Cruz,
better start doing that a little bit more often tonight against those Guardians and
then going into when the Toronto Blue Jays come to come to America on in
Cincinnati on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and then next week against Otani in
Los Angeles, Arizona and then San Francisco. We're talking too much now.
Secondly, Yeah, I love you, but you're not a serious person.
I ask you this question. Yeah, let's say you're in a road rage
incident. Oh, hell's breaking loose and you cut some woman off in your
cheat. I wouldn't do that. I would. I would go for the
back quarter panel and the spin, spin them exactly. I know exactly what
to do. And so it's like two eleven o'clock in the morning. You're
a third and walnuts and you're in fear, supposedly, so you take a
pick quickly of the license plate in the jeep that just cuts you off,
and you're at a stoplight. You can't tell the guy you're number one?
Can I ask you questions? Without you're in and I'm just asking you a
question. I'm asking the questions here. I'm asking the questions. Do you
stay We're not very serious, are you? I love you, but you're
not a serious person. Do you stay behind that person a jeep driven by
a black male evil in the views of some white women that I disagree with?
Y Do you pull up next to that person, wind down your window,
use a few epithets and not use the index finger referring to sexual intercourse
beginning with the F word, and then when he puts down his passenger side
window brandishes a firearm allegedly. Do you then say, if you pull that
damn thing out. You better use it. No, I hit the gas
and beat him too on a whole shot out of the out of the starting
line in the NHR A well, as you may know, because you're not
too bright, yep. In order to prove aggravated, what would you do,
big shot? You're always asking me this stuff. What happens to you
many years ago? I would cut somebody off by mistake, Okay, I'd
stay way behind and avoid a complication. I don't want it. Even the
great American makes the miss. I don't even hank the horn anymore. But
you admit it to me off the air. You gave the one finger salute
on more than one occasion, sparking road rage incidents. I was fixing my
mirror right anyway, the many times to do flip them off. I've never
done that, okay, I have. Secondly, one element of the offense
is you must be in fair for your life or serious bodily harm. That's
this is the mis demeanor. They're talking aggravated menacing. Okay, with Melvin,
with Merlin and Merlin and the Magic Man and Scotty Scottie c Scotty Scheffler,
he is funny by the way, he's really funny. But nonetheless,
if she's not in fear of her life for bodily harm an element of defense
has not been proven, then what happens? Then? I guess he walks,
bingo or runs in this case. On the other this woman is so
tough that she can look into a barrel of a gun and say, you
use it. You know what? Zach Taylor signed her to the offensive line
at having block for Joe Mixon. There's your there's your problem at right tackle
the great number twenty eight, Amen, Beta Penson. But the car was
at pay Corps for a day and a half, correct, because they were
at the Buffalo playoff and they went the day before. Correct, So the
police knew the car was there for a day and a half, and they
didn't get a search warrant. They could have proven he had the gun.
Well, maybe all the judges are out of town. No, No,
there's always one on duties, you know, because a duty judge, it
must be there. Okay, So I think Merlin and Scotty Scheffler aka Crosswell
pointed out some pretty good stuff. So Gwen Bendner, who puts her glasses
on her head when she's thinking, like you, Bingo might granted Rule twenty
nine motion to dismiss the case. Everybody go home, So why is this
going now into a third day? So she got thirty other cases every day,
so you kind of work it around OA. But the other thing is,
if he's convicted of brandishing a gun, what happens the Bengals should have
signed to Ezekiel Elliot instead of the Patriots. And if because he brandished the
gun it was located at the Paul Brown slash pay Coorse Stadium. When you
take a weapon onto an NFL facility and you're an NFL player, what happens
f I n E and suspension. I worry about the second part of that.
That means he's gone, Well, then he's got a problem with the
law and he's got a problem with mister Roger g So I didn't want to
put any pressure on these defense guys, but I say, if you lose
this case, the Bengals lose the season. If you win the case,
Super Bowl, super Bowl, Elizabeth Blackburn will give you free passes for the
rest of your life. And so I said, you know, most lawyers
look at this thing not serious because it's a misdemeanor. Of course done by
the city, not the county segment. You should know this that the city
problem. Not a serious person, so I don't know. I do love
you, but so it's a city deal, not a county Correct, because
it's a misdemeanor. All right, you're not a serious person. I'm trying
not to be. Please give me some sports to make it quick, Willy,

American two eleven PM. By the way, on Friday night, the big
event in Cincinnati is going to be besides the Birds are in town, the
Blue Jay's not playing very well of late, or play the Reds, It's
going to be the dedication of Roger Staubach Stadium at Purcell, the home of
the hack Berry assassins. And they had to bring in a team commensurate with
the greatness of Purcell High School, Purcell Marion High School, and that would
be, of course deer Park High School. So I want to spend some
time over the next day or two with the deer Park football team to get
them ready to go to play the hack Berry assassins and the dedication of Roger
Staubach Stadium, and I want to get your input. It's been a few
weeks, a few months since I've taken telephone calls, and what I'm gonna
do is here in a jury fashion, from the first twelve calls to come
in guilty or not guilty. I don't want to deal with the facts.
I don't want to deal with the law. I want to hear from you
if based upon everything you know at this point, you would find Donald Trump
guilty or not guilty, like some scene from Superman or with the icons up
in the screen, guilty or not guilty seven four nine seven thousand, five
win three seven four nine seven thousand. We got almost full lines. But
I'm gonna go to the lines to go to the jury in your name,
and all I want is your first name where you're calling from guilty or not
guilty. I want the verdict and we can shortstall all the stuff the next
several years. Lastly, as the lines fill up and Drew from Sydney is
getting some first names. We have deb and Chuck and James and Paul from
Loveland, many others, and Frank from ACR, concrete pools, gun night
pools. Lastly, I'll talk for thirty seconds to a minute. Now I
go to the very go, I go to the verse. I go to
the jurors, get the verdict. Roger Staubach was the Tom Brady of the
nineteen sixties and seventies, but so much better than Tom Brady. Went to
Purcell Dare Park kid watched him catch a little bit. He's six seven years
older than yours, truly, but he was a star of incredible proportions who
won the Heisman Trophy at Navy. He wasn't well recruited out of Purcell and
went to the Naval Academy and served in Vietnam when many did not. He
spent four or five years as a naval officer in Vietnam. When he came
back at the age of twenty seven, he had some doubt whether he could
play football anymore, and what anybody won him? Well, the Dallas Cowboys
drafted him and he had a fight for the starting job with Dandy Don Meredith,
and he took the Dallas Cowboys to two World Championships, two Super Bowl,
two Super Bowl rings, and then when he got out, he of
course made some money. But I became a business leader in Dallas and sold
his companies for three hundred million dollars about ten or fifteen years ago. And
since then he's been actively more or less giving it away because he's got so
much to give. A lot of family members married a girl named Hubler one
last story, many years ago. She had written a book, Missus Roger
Staubuck had written a book about how to be a good parent. And of
course they're very, very Catholic individuals, thank god. And she got a
hold of my producer at the time to come on the show. And first
name I might have it might be Nancy, but I'll use the name Nancy.
A nice feminine name called and said I'd like to come on the Bill
Hunningham show him in Cincinnati, talked about my book, and of course my
producer said, well, you know, we don't do a lot of children's
books here. No, no, we don't do that. And so about
a week went by and I'm looking at my producer's desk heads and books lined
up. Those are the days that we had books, and I saw it
was written by missus Roger stab Buck, And I said to my producer at
the time, it's fifteen years ago. I'd like to get that. Get
get her on he and he said, well, she called to come on
and I said, well, what happened? And it was a young woman
and said well, I said, I told him we don't do children's books
here. And the woman's name was Stobik, and I said, Stobik Stoppack
And I said, where's the book? Give us to me. It was
from Roger Starbok's wife, who wanted I said, absolutely, please come on?
And who I said, And she said, who's stopic? I said,
it's Roger Stabok right as I And she said he. I said,
look, we're all stupid, just about different things. I'm stupid about a
bunch of stuff. So then I told her the story of Roger Stabak and
what he meant Cincinnati and what he meant to the Navy. He was America's
team, America's quarterback. Could have an elected senator governor in Texas about any
question. And when she came into the studio, I interviewed her a little
bit, put it on the air, did a great job, and I
said, going out the door, I said, do you think Roger would
consider coming back to Deer Park to raise some money for Deer Park Athletics.
And she said, I don't know, I'll call him. I said,
really, I mean to me, talking to Roger Staubach would be like you
talking with Tom Brady or if you cared about him Lebron James. It's somewhat
of that order of magnitude. So she gets him on the phone and says,
so sure, we'll do that. And I talked to him briefly and
he said, well, you gotta to get to my office. Here's my
administrative assistance. Schedule a date. So we schedule a date at Montgomery End
with Tom Gregory for Roger Staubach to come and speak at Montgomery in the Boat
and Montgomery in Montgomery to raise money for der Park Athletics. He could not
have been more kind, He could not have been more generous. He was
a wonderful public speaker. We went back and forth with questions, and as
we're kind of leaving, he said, you know, I've done many events,
and this is like what three years ago. I said, Roger,
I bet you half done many events. He said, I've never had a
more enjoyable time that with Jim Stall put together and with der Park put together.
Jay Phillips put together. It was a wonderful evening. And he said,
give me the bill for tonight. I said, give you the bill,
and we had three hundred people. The bill was about fifteen thousand dollars.
So he not only came, paid for himself to come, then paid
everybody's expenses and went back home. That's Roger Staubach. And so when Purcell
Mary And High School reached out to Roger Staubach and said, we've had a
need for many many years to have a stadium of our own, would you
consider making a contribution of one type or another in order to assist in that.
I do not know the particulars of what the finances are, and George
Fisher at Purcell and Candice or in charge, but I'm sure he was extremely
generous because much like Muller High School has never really never had a football field
of its own, Purcelle has never had a football field until now. And
it's going to be dedicated on Friday night. Roger will be there with his
family and I will be there too, representing Deer Park. As Deer Park
and Purcell tee it up on a great Friday night and wanted Hills on hack
Berry Avenue known as the hack Berry Assassin, where my older brother, John
Cunningham, now in Heaven itself, was a proud student along with my best
buddy Bruce Roddy, who graduated from Purcell many years ago and passed away about
a year ago. So there we go. So high school football really begins
in earnest when dear Park plays Purcell on Friday night, and I think tickets
remain, but go online, get a hold of him and whatever it is,
it's going to be a great night of high school football. And the
kids today probably no little or nothing about Roger Staubach, But when tonight,
Friday Night happens, there'll be generations unborn. They will ask her mom and
dad, how come this stadium his name after Roger Stobick, And hopefully the
parent will say his name was Staubach. And instead of going to the National
Football League, he committed his service to Annapolis into the United States Navy and
completed his service, and then he came back to Sin Sinati to help us.
All right, here we go, And all I need from you at
this point is your first name and where you're calling from. I want to
know guilty or not guilty. Here's the list. I'm gonna begin with Me
the Great American not guilty and Frank Zybel not guilty. But don't feel bad
if you feel as if Donald Trump is guilty. I want you to have
the guts. If you have the guts to say guilty, I'm gonna write
it down and maybe allow thirty seconds and that's it. I don't want long
siloquies. I know Drew from Sydney will not put up with it. It
needs to be give me your name, give me your location, give me
guilty or not guilty. Then give me a very brief comment, beginning with
Wayne Wayne. I think in Warren County. Wayne, give me your verdict
and a quick twenty or thirty second reason. I'm a life one Republican.
I vote for him twice. I'll never vote for him again. He's guilty
and he is a fool. He shot himself in the foot. My friend,
we have your verdict, and I thank you very much. I disagree,
but I will fight to the death for your ability to speak. Chuck
and Dent the Home of the Drive in movie Theater. Guilty or not guilty,
plus a fifteen or twenty second reason. Not guilty, because I like
him, I mean compared to what you like Hillary. Did you see Hillary
Clinton? Yeah? Did you see Hillary Clinton last night on MSNBC cackling with
Rachel Maddow. I almost had projectile vomiting. Those two of them are sitting
up there cackling about Donald Trump, and I can't take it anymore. But
you're saying not guilt, Yes, not guilty, Chuck from Dent, Thank
you very much. Let's go to Brett and Dayton. Brett and Dayton,
give me your verdict. Let's stop all the legal stuff. Give me your
verdict and the reason not guilty because the Democrats are evil? All right,
thank you for your call. Let's go to Sean and Loveland, the home
of the Tigers. Sean, please go ahead, give me your verdict,
not guilty. As long as the clans are free. Do it's Trump?
God bless America. Thank you very much. Let's go to Rick and Milford,
the home of the Eagles, and I don't talk about Don Henley Rick.
What is your verdict and why guilty? As sin I am. I
am a lifelong Republican. I can't stand having that piece of debris as the
head of my party. Which piece are you referring to Donald Trump. Yes,
the orange cheeto. We got to fry the cheeto. Write that down.
Thank you for your verdict. Let's continue now. We'll go to MC
and Silverton, the home of Barry Larkin and Roger Staubach. MC, go
ahead, Yes, sir, guilty is charged. Not about the First Amendment.
You could say what you want to, but he cannot commit fraud with
a conspiracy using others with fake collectors. Right now, MC, it's four
to three guilty to not guilty. Whenever I enter Silverton, I see signs
that say the home of Barry Larkin and Roger Stabar and Byron Larkin too.
I grew up with Byron's a good Byron's. I think Byron's even better than
Barry or Steve. But that's a different issue. And I'll tell you what.
The Larkin family and the Stabok family have represented the city of Silverton as
well as any two people represent any city. Would you agree, absolutely?
Let me say this last, Willie. If you're a Democrat, you're a
Republican. We're all Americans. God bless America. Thank you very much for
your call. MC. Let's continue now with David Dayton, home of the
flyers and Don donnaher Dave, give me your verdict right now. We got
four not guilty and three guilty thousand percent not guilty, Hunter Biden very guilty,
Joe Biden an ass clown, and Epstein did not commit suicide? Who
didn't commit suicide? Epstein's Island. He hugged himself, he hanged himself.
I guess frolic with Prince Andrew and uh nuh said go Hackbury assassins and Dave.
One last thank you, one last thought on the Epstein situation. The
FBI, the Secret Service and federal officials have known for years the number of
men who got on the Epstein Express to go to Lolita Island. Why have
those names never gotten out? Another media cover up, the save save Clinton's
butt and uh, ironically the cameras just happened to go out the night committed
suicide and something. It's unbelievableevable. We're talking more than fifty trips to an
island with teenage girls for sex and god knows what else going on, and
they're Secret Service protectors, etc. And nobody knows anything that's going on for
fifteen years and we know nothing. All Right, here's the early verdict form.
We have five not guilties and three guilties. Right now, we've got
a hung jury. We'll do this verdict form later on. Let's continue.
Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred w They hope I do, if I
have my help. I'll never understand the lack of wisdom behind a decision on
the part of a person to jump out of the stands at any sporting event
and run around the field, especially in New York City, because they're gonna
take you under the time, Yes they are, They're gonna destroy you.
Well, I guess you have to cut him some slack. That young man's
got to be dropped dead drunk. But or he is an unmitigated idiot one
of the other friend. You know. The thing about is his friends were
probably egging him on. Probably, but I guarantee it he's juiced. I
give you a dollar. He's real wet right now, Give you a dollar.
Come on, man, you get on TV. It's amazing. It
truly is unbelievable. Okay, two dollars, Yeah, Hello, Hello,
you got it? Boast you know rock. A few years back, the
former VP and general manager of The Redstick, Williams did exactly the same thing.
Hello, here you go, rock rock, here we go. Hit
them all. Hit him, just hit him all, hit them all,
hit them all. I don't know, but now, weren't you very intricral
in him getting off those charges, thus allowing him to become the Reds And
basically you're taking credit for I got her success. I got the last year.
I got a call and I called the mayor of Cincinnati and I called
the city solicitor. It was a misdemeanor. They were we're going to charge
him with a felony. And they said, who is it. I said,
well it this guy named Dick Williams. Williams Williams Western Southern Williams.
Now, well, well how about so we had the little community service had
to go pick up garbage a little while, and Dick Williams, to his
credit now the CEO of Skyline, never forgot I made the call and it
came from someone of importance. You ever be on the field when a guy
around on the front fan run on the field? Never never did, never
did, never enough because everyone always talked about it, saying that it'd be
a rush for the first guy to lay him out right, But I never
happened when I was crazy, like a guy ran out and sometimes you know,
just the Notre Dame and the ladies, you'll be out there running around.
You know, that's that's never. I have the same problem for years.
But I'm glad you I did a verdict form right there. Okay,
not, let's talk about guilty. Let's go. I have some thoughts I
did. I haven't done Joe Mixon, but I did the Trumpster. So
let's cut all the crap. We got four indictments, one hundred and fifteen
charges, twelve hundred and fifty years in jail. I'm not sure you can
do a thousand. By the way, didn't Fulton counter The charges against Trump
come out on the Fulton County website before it was even announced hours So tell
me it's not politically motivated. Of course, tell me. It's make a
case that it's not. I can't it is. What if Melissa Powers said,
you know what, I've got bribery with Joe Biden and Hunter By Numb
and Diet Joe Biden. Let's bring along with the chiefest you gonna do it.
Let's get it done. Melissa Powers and Diet Joe Biden, let's get
him down here. Yeah, how about Rob say, wow, we'll gather
a group of people that will donate what millions and millions five campaign I'll call
Dick Williams. All right, there we go. Before we get to Dick
Williams, let's deal with your friend number twenty eight, Joe Mixon, not
Fata Pinson. Yes, we have the video from Fort Washington, way off
Joe Mixon's jeep cutting off this woman. And I'm thinking, have you cut
somebody off? It's happened once or twice segment, Yep, I cut somebody
off about a week ago. I'm sorry I did it. I pulled out
they you know, I put my hands up, saying okay, my bad.
Not the one finger salute segment would get and the guy got behind me.
And what I did index fingers. What I did was keep driving at
a slow rate of speed, and eventually I'm not gonna but this woman have
him cut off. She was urinated off. Pulled up next to him at
the next light, the third and walnut give him the business. Yeah,
And he said, she said a few things that we can't say on the
radio, referring to fornication and some other things. And then Joe mackin of
normal. Most people in within the confines of their car are about talk,
right, They just because I think nothing's going to happen. We don't know
this because as he said, she said, and he puts down his window
and his cheap and brandishes or shows a handgun. She then says, if
you pull that damn thing out, I'll use that word use it. There
you go, tough chick. I mean, you're what fifteen feet away from
a guy in a Jesus something you would say to you know, if you
want to kind of feign that you're not scared of somebody, go ahead and
go ahead and use it. Did you do that? Yes, you would
say use it. Yeah, I think I shoot me. Yeah. But
she didn't know it was Joe Mixon. Hell. Look, if it's a
it's a young male with corn rows and with a gun, and she,
a white woman, is saying use it. I don't know about that.
Where is she from? She from Indian Hill or she from the city Dent,
Well, then she would say go ahead and use that thing. She's
some Dent. If she's from a dear her Indian Hill, no offense,
she said, Dent. I say if she's that tough signer to the offensive
liner had a block for it. Then I'll pop you in the face.
And the police aren't going to do a damn thing that this whole thing too.
But this is all he says. She said recording this with the magic
Man. Think and Scottie c you mean Scotty Scheffler. So then he pulls
off and goes to pay Corp. She rolls around and goes to the banks,
to the police substation and follows the police report she took a pick of
the license plate. They quickly find out, you know that's Joe Mixing.
Now is it confirmed? Well? Is she she's claiming she did not know
it was Joe mix That's what she says. But she's probably betting in her
head. Guy's not gonna shoot me. Would you say that to anybody with
the guys See he's got well, I don't got it. He's got you
know what a steel now anyway, And so this is the other problem that
the prosecution, which is a city case, not a county case, city
Prosecutor's office, not not Melissa Powers, has is that the car sat there
for a day and a half at the pay Course stadium and they knew it
was quote Joe Mixing, why not get a warrant and go down there and
find the gun. You got the make, got the model, got the
license plate. Did she hear her lawyers demand that. No. The police
then quickly they followed those criminal charges. And don't know how it works.
I mean, I imagine there's a million cases a day and the police went
around is searching every car. When somebody said, hey, this happened to
me, Like, what do you make it done? Joe Mixing a pay
course, a high profile. Would you sure you a legend that he got
favorable treatment because he was Joe Mixon? I say it was incompetence. I'd
say the cops right one hole. I'm saying they just said, Jesus,
we get a ton of what everybody's shot? Nobody exactly, No one got
shot, No one got her. The two key elements of the offense of
agarrett and menacing, as you know, is threat to a death or physical
body harm. Or secondly, you must hit fear. In other words,
if you're the victim, you must be in fear of your life. Well
she in fear of her life or was she angry? I bet she was
in fear, but you you got you gotta say that, you gotta do
say, you gotta dream. And in a moment like like the lions in
the jung, even the ones that's the smaller one, they do they bow
up, they show their main and try to get big and act tough if
you're in a moment of fearing for your life. She said, she zeeped
down inside that lion, and she is probably like, oh my god,
scared to death. But you can't you can't show you didn't say that.
She didn't say it, And she said I was angry. I wasn't in
fear, but they still filed an egg menacing And this is a mystereme nor
M want she Now you're getting all technical about it. Did he wore a
gun or did he not? Well, I I didn't. You could put
that around say if you were going to pull that gun, you pulling it
for a reason. I would never say that, because I'm I'm recent.
I would have said, uh, I wouldn't have put myself lawyery on me.
Who put a position, who put themselves in a position for the crime
to occur. She did. That's a problem, right, and she just
you know, gave him the bird and gone one about her day. Joe
Mixing could make the case. Wait a minute, now, I maybe I
felt attacked in fear for my life because she said to the effect people like
you, what is what makes this world a bad So she by implication a
blackmail and corn Rose with a gun. You know there was a racial elements
to elements. Now you're like an NFL type. What happened if he's convicted
of brandishing a gun and taking it to an NFL facility. Now, the
NFL, even though it is your god given right in this country to possess
a fire arm, it is not in the light of the NFL. They
have no sympathy when it comes to guns. You're not allowed to going on
the premises of a practice field, the game field. What happens, So
he's got a double whammy possible he'll never play football again. I mean the
law and now in the NFL. Right, yeah, I don't want to
say anything to the defense team, but I said, in your hands rest
the future of the Cincinnati Bengals. If you lose this case, it means
the Bengals are done. And if you win this case, probably Elizabeth Blackburn
will give you tickets for the rest of your life. So and people,
you know it's a myster mean or if it was serious, it wouldn't be
there. But what are you looking at? Rock from the NFL guns?
Although well, and he has some prior stuff too, so that's true.
You're right, right, So he asked you and in the lawyer realm,
is there a can there be an instance where she says, look, we
can just kind of make this all go away? Go Well, I don't
know, Well, according to uh he if he's looking like he's gonna be
guilty, then that's what she needs to do. Let's see the rings and
the money. Well, here's the right shoe mixing side of the fence.
If you pay money and admit to that the NFL, that doesn't stop the
NFL. In fact, they don't care very true. And then he's so
Joe Mixon believes it's all in and he's got a win because he can't pay
her a million dollars in the NFL. He's get there about that. We're
going to investigate the biggest item of contention when it comes to the NFL is
the gun. Not necessarily the comfort, it's the gun. So couldn't he
say, look, yeah, I yelled this woman. God, but I've
never had a gun. Where's the gun? Show me the gun, Show
me the gun, Show me the gun. In fact, he has many
guns, and they're all legally bought, and he got pictures of them,
and none of them look like a smaller three. He's allowed to carry one
on his person, He's allowed to have one in his car. He's just
now, I'll have one on his person or in his car or anywhere near
an NFL facility. And if he loses, a court's going to determine that
he did. Now what? Oh? Not good? Not good? How's
Chase Brown looking looking at first? Chase? You see Chase Brown? No,
say give me some sports and please make it fast, Willy. The
Students Report is a proud service of your local taen Star heating and air conditioning
dealers. Tame star quality. You could feel in Cincinnati Cols Schmid Heating and
Cooling at five one three five three one sixty nine hundred spot at the verdict
on Trump, it was eight not guilty and three guilty. Right there.
We can get rid of all this other stuff that's a hung jury, hung
jury, hung jury. There you go. In fact, when it's removed
a federal court, out of state court northern half of Georgia. The best
it can be as hung probably not guilty segment. Please continue, Willy.
The Reds opened up the battle for the Ohio Cup, denied game one of
two against those Guardians from Cleveland five forty Sports Talk and Lance Ralph's American Grill
inside Pitch at the Kelsey Chevrolet Extra inning show after the game. The Reds
have transferred the rehabit signment of lefty Nicolodolo from Arizona to Double H Chattanooga.
He's coming, sister. Lodolo has not been back in the Big League since
May the sixth, with that left calf injury. Hit and pitch the last
six starts anyway, how many weeks he's been out with a left calm months
month, months, So works based borrow to play within five weeks of a
calf injury. And this guy's about months and all he does his pitch,
he doesn't run, and he's twenty three years old. How does a twenty
three year old have either a hip problem or major or a terror of his
cal stress reaction and his left tibia and again got a stress react stress reaction
I get that every day around here. That's not a cap. How you're
twenty three years old and get this hurt? How does How does Homer Green
for two months not pitch after signing a fifty eight billion dollar contract? I
don't know. And he can't pitch? Well, he's got bad hips.
How you're twenty three years old, I don't know. Unless you're a stripper,
you can't have bad hips. That's a cut right there, right there,
twenty three years old. I don't know what to tell you. Go
play baseball. We're not talking about football. We're talking about baseball, right,
I've told you before. I think that is one of the elements that
where people have fallen more in love with football. In the NFL's there's still
that element of toughness, the element of well, I'm the average guy or
gall there's no way I could do. I could play through that. And
then baseball players, I think they go, Okay, he's out again,
got a bad hip. No, I'm not getting on him. If you're
hurt, if you're injured, you're injured. But I'm just saying that the
perception is that these guys get hurt and then it didn't get hurt till I
got fifty eight billion dollars then he got hurt. Are you done? Seg
Yeah. Peyton Starns loses today and the Western Southern Open brought to you by
John Barrett. There goes to J. J. Wolf Is on court at
about a half hour. If you're in a traffic jam, be patient,
don't cut somebody off. And if they brandish a gun, don't say go
ahead and you use it. See but there's a lesson here on both sides.
The lesson is, you know, every time someone wrongs you cool,
does something wrong, you you have time hunter, you'll pull up to him,
you'll cuss him out and you're going to day. Don't do that.
One of those times. Somebody may pull a gun on you and point at
your face and say go ahead and use it. So is it worth it?
You would say, go ahead and use it. I'm gonna go and
skin it. If you think about it, don't do it. Segment like
BEU for justice, be for t justice to you. You didn't say to
Rocky what you said to him yesterday when he wasn't here. I heard he
heard like get me out of miss him. I didn't know, he didn't
know. He changed his name. You said he was going to Notre Dame
as a defensive coordinator. Can't say yes, say big because they were going
to go to the Big ten if they could take with them. You said
they were going back to the man. Back to the name of twelve and
my poll. By the way, twelve they have a potential Heisman Trophy w
at quarterback and it's a good run game. Is he played d line?
Well, we'll see what happens. Were you in South Bend? I can't
say he was in Dent Dent with this, everybody's in the concrete. Joe,
what about the dead driving the Den schoolhouse? I had some I had
some lively times in the Dent driving. Go ahead, said, get me
able to tell us about him. We got a few minutes here, don't
We don't know. We're out of time. Give me out of this.
Twosie report will be another of a beautiful day. You're in a tri state.
We leave you with the immortal words of the students report. Oh man,
I need a drink after all that's going on now, for sure,
I need a drink. Joe Mixon loses this, We're all gonna need a
drink. On seven hundred w lw
