WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.000
And winning record nine and eight,
for the first time ever that all the

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:10.199
teams in a Division one had a
winning record with the Bengals and only went

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.039
not in the playoffs. If somebody
had said two or three months ago that

4
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.719
the Bengals three teams we are going
to get to the playoffs out of the

5
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.679
Northern Division of the AFC, and
the Bengals will not be one of them,

6
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:24.239
nobody would have believed it. But
it happened. Pitchers and Catchers report

7
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.199
in about four or five weeks.
But until then, Governor Mike DeWine the

8
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.079
House Bill sixty eight, he vetoed
it a few days back. I spoke

9
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:36.240
to some of the leadership of the
House earlier this morning and I was told

10
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.119
they're going to try to override it
on Wednesday. And Governor Mike DeWine,

11
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.320
welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show of
this glorious Monday afternoon in the tri State.

12
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:49.079
And we heard your explanation and your
reasons for issuing the veto, and

13
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.920
it appears, according to some that
it's going to be overridden. Would you

14
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:59.159
view that if the Republicans you're guys
and your women, and the House and

15
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:04.120
Senate override your veto When you have
the Lieutenant Governor against you on this,

16
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.760
the Attorney General is against you,
the auditor is against you, the Treasurer

17
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.879
is against you, the Secretary of
State is against you. The House and

18
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.079
the Senate Republicans are against you.
You stand alone, like a tenfold beacon

19
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:25.840
in the night, and you see
something that all these other Republicans don't see.

20
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.840
What do you see that all those
other Republicans don't see? Well,

21
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.400
first of all, Billy, let's
let's talk about what this is not about.

22
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.799
What any kind of disagreement is not
about. I issue in order on

23
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:45.120
Friday, no surgery for minors.
I think that's where the House and sent

24
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.079
are. That's certainly where I am. And you know that's not been an

25
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.719
issue the I think it's not been
an issue. Uh, you know,

26
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:59.159
I'm not you know, in favor
of having men who transitioned to a woman

27
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.519
play sports and that you know,
so we're not there's no dispute about that.

28
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.039
But you but you vetoed that,
you vetoed that part of that bill

29
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:12.000
correct. Well, bill, what
they did is they took two bills and

30
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.120
they put them together. And so
look here, here's what the dispute comes

31
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.919
down to, you know, our
our party stands for UH prontal rights.

32
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.759
We stand for families. We believe
that UH families should make decisions and not

33
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:34.960
government whenever, whenever possible. And
so what I did bill really during during

34
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.280
the Christmas holidays, and and you
know, this bill came to me,

35
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.280
I had ten days to sign it
or not sign it. Uh. You

36
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.360
know, I spent a lot of
time uh talking to medical experts, but

37
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.560
more importantly, I talk to families. You know. I talked to moms

38
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:54.840
and dads, uh, you know, just just people like you who you

39
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:02.159
know, have been faced with this
UH situation in their family. And I

40
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:07.159
came down to the conclusion that we're
better off letting parents make this decision.

41
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.719
And and and so you know,
as I, as I said at the

42
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.159
time when I vetoed it, if
I were to sign this bill, we

43
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:21.800
would be saying that the that the
state of Ohio, the government knows better

44
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.280
than parents, the people who have
raised this child, the people who love

45
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.560
this child the most, the people
who've agonized with this child as the child

46
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:34.759
has gone through some some difficult times. UH government knows better. And it

47
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.400
seems to me that's not a Republican
position. That's not a conservative position.

48
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.759
Uh. And but more important than
that, it's just not the right it's

49
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.000
not the right position. I mean, I had Bill, I've had people

50
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.159
who I've had, you know,
sit down with me. I had a

51
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.000
couple, uh, came over to
our house over the Christmas break, invited

52
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.759
them over just to kind of hear
their story, and you know, they

53
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.479
looked me in the eye and they
basically said, and I had other couples

54
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.280
do the same thing. My child
would not be alive today but for the

55
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.599
fact that they were able to get
care at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital. They

56
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:15.000
were able to get care at Columbus
Children's Hospital and work with professionals and made,

57
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.839
you know, a decision. The
most important thing in all this,

58
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.240
it's it's clear to me, is
mental health care. And you know,

59
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.560
two thirds, two thirds of families
who get this mental health care and the

60
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.839
child gets the mental health care do
not go forward with with with anything in

61
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.839
regard to transgender They kind of figure
out that it's something else and they get

62
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.120
the mental health care that they need. So it's a relatively small number of

63
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.199
people. But for those people who
get down to it, after months and

64
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:48.079
months of going through this, and
they've got the advice of doctors. But

65
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.920
more importantly, they know in their
heart, you know, what they think

66
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.199
is right. They make that decision. Why should the government be telling them,

67
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.120
no, we know more than you
do about your your child. Governor,

68
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.279
Since ask me a question, I'll
give you an answer, which is

69
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:11.000
government tells parents all kinds of things
that they can't do with their children.

70
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.000
In fact, masking, there were
many parents that didn't want their kids masked

71
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.920
up. A government said, parents
don't know best. Maybe there's parents that

72
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.959
want to give their kid sixteen year
old marijuana. Well, government knows best.

73
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.000
You can't do that. Maybe some
parents don't want to put their kid

74
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.120
in a child safety seat, Well
government knows best. Parents, you can't

75
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.839
raise your kid that way. Well
let me let me tell you. Let

76
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.399
me tell you the difference. Let
me tell you the difference. I don't

77
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:44.439
know any I can't think of any
cage where we have a situation where the

78
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.920
doctor that is working with the child, or the hospital that is working with

79
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:55.279
the doctor and the child, the
child and the parents all want to do

80
00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.240
one thing, and the government comes
in and tells the doctors no know tells

81
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.639
the child know and tells the parents
know. All the examples you've given are

82
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.600
good examples. Bill. Yes,
we do make decisions when we say parents

83
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.600
can't do things, and you know
that obviously are in the and not in

84
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.439
the interests of the child. But
this is an eric where there is a

85
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:20.160
disagreement, and you've got good people
on both sides of the of this issue,

86
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:25.879
and you know the people who are
going to vote to override if they

87
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.839
do that, I'm voted for this
bill. They're good people. They you

88
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.839
know, they think they're doing what's
best for the for the child. But

89
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:38.480
it just seems to me that I
can't as governor, and I couldn't go

90
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:43.120
ahead and say, look, government
knows best. When we line up and

91
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.439
you've got the doctor saying one thing, that parents saying the same thing,

92
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.240
the child's saying the other thing,
and now this time the government comes in

93
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.560
and says, oh, no,
you're all wrong, you're all wrong,

94
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.439
and we're right. Government's right,
even though the people who are voting on

95
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.720
don't know the child. Uh So, look, but good people on both

96
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.439
sides, I get it. Reasonable
people can disagree about this. I did

97
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:10.600
what I did because I thought it
was right. We have a system of

98
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.279
government where the legislature can override my
veto. It's in the Constitution, and

99
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.160
I'm sure that there are you know, people who will cast their votes this

100
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:23.959
week or later on, will do
what they think is right. Are you

101
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:30.680
politic and are you making calls to
legislators, either directly or indirectly, encouraging

102
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:35.120
them not to override your veto.
The only thing I've done bill, I

103
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:41.319
talked to some legislators. I wanted
to make sure everybody understood what we did

104
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.959
on Friday, and what we did
on Friday is really, in some sense,

105
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.800
do some things to protect people that
wasn't even in the bill. And

106
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.279
the part that was in the bill
that is consistent is no surgery that was

107
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.399
in the bill. I issued an
executive board of My order went into effect

108
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.399
right away. Any legislation takes takes
a while before it goes into effect,

109
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.040
as you know. So now today
i'm the state a while because in my

110
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.720
order there's no surgeries can be allowed
on a minor second, we issued in

111
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.040
order. Everybody who's looked at this
says, well, we don't have enough

112
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.920
data. We issued an order that
said from our health department, if you're

113
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.000
a doctor, if you're a hospital, you're going to have to start reporting

114
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.959
this stuff. You know, we
report abortions, we report flu report you

115
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.279
know this and that, and there's
no reason we can't report that. No

116
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.000
one's names reported, you know,
none of this, but the data is.

117
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.399
So we did that and I wanted
to make sure people understood that.

118
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.480
And the third thing we did is
issued in order. And this has to

119
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.879
do with adults. The bill only
has to do children. This has to

120
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.799
do with adults. That struck me
as I look more and more at this

121
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.080
and listen, listen that the most
important thing, whether it's an adult that's

122
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.720
going through this or a child,
is you've got to have the mental health

123
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.919
care up on front, and it's
got to be first, and it's gonna

124
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:03.240
be lengthy, it's got to be
comprehensive and before anybody even thinks about making

125
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.679
any other kind of decision. What
we have now with with adults before we

126
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:15.159
issued our order is there's no there's
no real requirement of psychiatric care. Uh.

127
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.080
And so what we didn't want is
these pop up clinics who want to

128
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.000
make money, starting in different places
around Ohio and just you know, writing

129
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:28.039
writing prescriptions. That is not good
and it's not the best certainly not the

130
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:33.080
best practice. And again I don't
know anybody that really disagrees with without either,

131
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.360
but it's not not into the law. So in answer to your question,

132
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.360
my conversations with legislators, if I've
had any, I have had it

133
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.559
with some. Uh has simply been
here's what we did on Friday, Here's

134
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.440
why we did it. We think
this, we think this works. And

135
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.159
Governor, assuming the legislature overrides your
veto, which is according to one of

136
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.559
the leaders there, that they're confident
they're going to do it, would you

137
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.240
view that this is a rejection of
one of the major policies of Mike DeWine.

138
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.120
You don't veto too many bills and
you stand alone. Is this a

139
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.799
rejection of Mike DeWine's policy? If
if the veto is overridden, No,

140
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.279
I stand. Look, I stand
with families, and that's why the veto.

141
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.240
But one of the things that I
think sometimes is missed. And I

142
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.799
know the uh, God love them, the news media, you know,

143
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.159
life's controversy, because that's that's interesting, right. The area is if you

144
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.639
look at the areas that are the
central to what Mike de Wine is doing,

145
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.200
what our team is doing, what
I think the state needs to do.

146
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.960
There's big, like three or four
big areas. In each one of

147
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.360
these areas, the legislature has stood
with us. UH. Economic development is

148
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:52.320
number one. UH Number number two
is education, a particularly emphasis on what

149
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.080
we now call the science of reading. We're rolling that out in every school

150
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.360
in the state of Ohio. Legislature
backed me one hundred hundred percent sent on

151
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:07.039
that. Mental health, making sure
that we build a mental health system in

152
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.000
the state that we've never had before. The legislature has given us strengthly an

153
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.159
unprecedent amount of money, and we've
rolled this out with a lot of help

154
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.240
going into the local communities. We're
out there yet, but the legislature has

155
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:24.480
backed us on that as well.
And getting back to the other I started

156
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.960
with, which which is the whole
area of economic development. You know,

157
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:33.840
one of the things we asked the
legislature to do is we know that there

158
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.240
are sites in Ohio, and sites
not not just in you know the three

159
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.879
c's, but in other parts of
Ohio, sort of the other Ohio that

160
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.399
sometimes gets ignored. We know there
are good job sites there, and we

161
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.879
ask for specifically for money to be
able to help these communities develop these sites

162
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.960
so that when a company comes in
and says, hey, Governor, we

163
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.919
need a site and it needs to
be this big da da da da da

164
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.480
da, and we can say,
yep, we've got a site and it's

165
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.440
ready for you. And so all
those things, Bill, those are the

166
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.480
core of what we do every single
day. This is a bill that came

167
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:15.039
along that has got a lot of
publicity. I understand it. I studied

168
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.679
it hard, made I made a
decision. It affects a relatively small number

169
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:24.279
of people in the state. Again, I think I'm with the parents,

170
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.919
and I think I'm with parents making
this decision. I think it's the conservative

171
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.759
point of view. I think it's
the high way to do it. Obviously,

172
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:37.399
we have people on the other side
who disagree they override me, and

173
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.080
if they do, they do.
That's part of our system. You know,

174
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:46.639
your decision here is awfully unpopular,
especially among conservatives. And when your

175
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.840
own lieutenant governor says I disagree with
the governor and he wants to be your

176
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:56.960
replacement, has that created a rift
between you and your lieutenant governor. No,

177
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.559
Look, Bill, if you find
too, if you can find two

178
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.279
people to agree about, absolutely everything. Uh, you know something's wrong.

179
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.879
And he and I agree on ninety
nine percent of what we do. Uh.

180
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:16.759
This is a uh something that is
impactful very much for the people who

181
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.159
who it impacts, which is why
I've drawn the line and said, you

182
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.759
know, not with not with my
my my signature will will just become law.

183
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.240
Uh. But again on the on
the things that affect most people,

184
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:35.320
education, job training, our career
tech centers, making sure that they get

185
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.879
the resources they need to continue to
expand scholarships for our kids going to college,

186
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.639
economic development, all of these things. Lutaig Bever and I are in

187
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.440
agreement, and Frank of the Legislature
and I are an agreement. Let me

188
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.080
go over two or three quick matters. Uh. Marijuana status. I had

189
00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:00.679
Birdie Whisper in my ear. That
pay Course stadium yesterday had a marijuana smoking

190
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.360
section much like cigarette smoking section.
You can legally smoke marijuana, you just

191
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.080
can't buy it. You can grow
it in your home right now, but

192
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.679
that takes three to four months to
actually do it. Things are completely confusing.

193
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.759
I'm going to have on Rob Sanders
later on about the difficulties in Kenton

194
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.120
County, which is not your concern. I imagine about Ohio's marijuana laws.

195
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.440
As we sait here this Monday afternoon, can you give me an update on

196
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.559
marijuana status in the state of Ohias. Yes, the legislature's coming back and

197
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.320
you know, houses coming back this
week to vote on this override. You

198
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:45.440
know, I like for them to
stick around and work on this marijuana situation.

199
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.440
Look, Bill, I was not
in favor of legal marijuana to stay.

200
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.080
I mean, it's a stupid idea, but it passed, and so

201
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.840
I, you know, respect the
will of people. Fifty seven percent of

202
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.679
people voted in favor of this,
but I don't think the people who vote

203
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.240
in favor of it voted want of
a situation that we have now, which

204
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.679
is what the law mandates. Unless
we change it. We need to.

205
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.720
We frankly need to change it.
We have a situation today where you can

206
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.039
use marijuana in the state of Ohio, you can grow marijuana, but you

207
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.799
can't buy it legally in the state
of the model, nor can you buy

208
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:24.039
the seeds to grow. This makes
no sense. And what's happening is you're

209
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:30.000
starting to see a black market appear
in Ohio where people think they can buy

210
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.639
it legally, but there's no place
they can legally sell it, and we

211
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.440
have no quality control. We have
a black market developing. You go in,

212
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.600
somebody goes and buys marijuana in this
black market. They have no idea

213
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.480
if it's got pesticides in it,
they have no idea what the THHC level

214
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.840
is, They have no idea if
it has some other drug in there.

215
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.919
And it's just a not a good
situation. So the legislature can change that.

216
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.519
We need help on and doing that. And the Senate did pass a

217
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.639
bill. I'd like for the House
to pass a bill. It may not

218
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.000
be the same as the Senate.
That's fine, we can do all those

219
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.919
things worked out. But what we'd
like to be able to do is sell

220
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:21.000
marijuana through the stores now that are
selling it for the medical marijuana and again

221
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.080
eliminate this this black market, and
at least people would know that what they're

222
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.759
buying is in fact they you know, not adulterated in some way. The

223
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.600
other thing I'm asking the legislation to
do. We got a real problem.

224
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.639
You can go out today in Ohio
and buy buy a hemp product. Many

225
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.559
gas stations have it, and the
real problem is that kids can buy it

226
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.919
and it's a loophole in the federal
law, it's a loophole in the state

227
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:52.759
law, and it's hallucinogenic, and
it's just, you know, I can't

228
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:59.960
close this loophole without the legislature taking
action. And I just you know,

229
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:04.839
I know Senator Huffman, Steve Huffman
is working on a He and I talked

230
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.720
a few days ago. He tells
me he's working on a separate bill.

231
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.839
So I'd like it done either by
a separate bill or if they want to

232
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.440
do it and throw it into the
marijuana fix, then they can do that.

233
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.200
I don't really care. I just
need to get it on my desk

234
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.480
so I can sign it. We
can start enforcing law that says you cannot

235
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.279
sell this to a twelve year old. That's just absurd situation that we have

236
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.480
today. But I have to have
help from the legislature on this. Lastly,

237
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.839
we have about minute remaining New York, California, parts of Illinois now

238
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:41.279
have mask mandates. Do you see
Governor Mike DeWine having any more mask mandates

239
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.440
with COVID the flu a viral infection. Are mask mandates coming to Ohio?

240
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.000
No, absolutely not. I don't
see that at all. Look, Bill

241
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:56.559
what again, this is all voluntary, but if you look at the data

242
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.839
of people that are we're still losing
people from COVID. We lose people from

243
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.279
the flu. I mean, so
we just encourage field get your flu shot,

244
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:10.039
uh and and get get the most
updated COVID shot and if you want

245
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:14.960
to reduce the chances of you dying
or having long COVID. And I think

246
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.759
people are really cheerful of long COVID. They don't die, but they end

247
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:23.119
up of this thing that ends.
You know, the data is abundantly clear

248
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:29.599
that getting that you know, new
shot of COVID that you can get many

249
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.240
many places in Ohio. There's no
there's no backup on it. You can

250
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.039
get that is really the best advice. And that's what people, you know,

251
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.440
I would suggest they do based on
the best medical science. But we're

252
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.039
not going to compel anybody to do
it. And we're not going to compel

253
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.599
anybody we're mask either. All right, Governor Mike Dwine, thank you.

254
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:52.440
You're a tenfold beacon in the night. You stand alone against the Republican Party,

255
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.480
and each side has good intentions,
and each side look the same problem

256
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.759
and come out with different solutions.
Mike Dwaine. We got o. Governor

257
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.880
Mike DeWine, thank you for coming
on the Bill Cunningham Show as my first

258
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.440
GID. Happy New Year, Yes, we got the year started off,

259
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:12.440
yeah, tot off of the bill. Thank you, thank you. Spring

260
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:18.079
training is coming, it's coming a
month, It's here, it's here.

261
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.279
Governor Mike Dwine, thank you very
much. Thank you. Let's continue with

262
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.200
more your reaction five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven

263
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:33.079
thousand. The governor stands alone against
the Republican Party on news radio seven hundred

264
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.359
WLW currents issued by Sutton Bank and
Celtic Bank. Members of d I C.

265
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:41.400
Terms and conditions apply. Are you
time, Billy Cunningham to Great America?

266
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.440
Let's continue, and of course you're
going to get my comments on the

267
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:52.160
governor's actions here, which I disagree
with vehemently. Also coming up later after

268
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.839
one o'clock today is the Great Sean
Hannity. We're going to talk about his

269
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.599
moving out of New York City establishing
a residence in Florida, Why it happened,

270
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.960
How is it happening, What's going
to happen the rest this year?

271
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:08.400
Incredible stuff. After two o'clock today
will be the Great Rob Sanders of Kenton

272
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:15.599
County. He's going to talk about
the murder of Kiri Kira Lane, mother

273
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:21.319
a twenty five year old mother of
two kids, by allegedly through Mary O.

274
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:25.440
Paine, had some sort of custody
or other disagreement and just he pulls

275
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:30.680
out a handgun and murders the mother
of his children in front of them.

276
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.519
And I would imagine the children are
of tender years and this guy was a

277
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:40.400
career criminal and they spent his life
thirty eight years, spent at least half

278
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:44.200
of it with felony convictions, and
he was out. But this time he's

279
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.079
finally went too far and the mother
of his children, at least some of

280
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.119
his children, is dead and the
family, I'm sure is devastated. That's

281
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:56.799
after two o'clock today with Rob Sanders. Let's get into my interview with Mike

282
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:03.880
DeWine. Governor. Mike DeWine stood
alone against conservatism and against the Republican Party

283
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.759
top to bottom, who did not
want him to veto this bill. The

284
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.960
goal was to give children an opportunity
to be a child. Do you have

285
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:17.079
a teenage boy or a teenage girl
the opportunity of being a teenage boy or

286
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:23.920
teenage girl. Something like forty percent
of teenage females have one level of mental

287
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:30.079
difficulties or another that may relate to
seeing an expert. Everyone has problems.

288
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.599
You got problems, I got problems. Dave Keaton's got problems. DJ Hodge

289
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:38.000
has problems. Mental issue are everywhere. Every family's affected by it in one

290
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:42.640
sense or another. I had an
uncle who spent years at Longview State Mental

291
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:48.200
Hospital, and so I get it. And mental health is largely ignored.

292
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.559
It's as serious an issue as any
kind of physical health. But mental health

293
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:57.960
is tendant until recently to be treated
differently than having a broken leg or having

294
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:06.680
a pancreatic caad answer and to anyone
that's experienced mental difficulty or having family members

295
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:11.880
and mental hospitals, it is awful. And it's particularly bad when you have

296
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.400
a twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
fifteen year old going through all the things

297
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:21.200
teenagers must go through today with the
TikTok generation, feeling as if they're trapped

298
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:25.720
in the wrong body. What's happened
the last ten years is that culturally,

299
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:33.000
those feelings of transgender rights are being
expanded and highlighted, and it's quite unusual

300
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.119
now for a teenage boy or girl
not to feel as if some societal pressure

301
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.440
to act out and some sexual fantasy
of one type or another. And so

302
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:47.720
when Mike, when Governor Mike DeWine
says, well, he doesn't want to

303
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:52.759
get between a patient, which is
the teenager and a mom or a dad

304
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:59.519
in the hospital system. What he's
essentially saying is that is a chemical castration

305
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:06.319
is okay, because when you go
through HRT hormonal replacement therapy and all the

306
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:11.240
drugs involved in that, you begin
to have more difficulties, not less.

307
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.480
In fact, many times in life
I was told this in law school that

308
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.359
someone may walk in as a client
and they don't have a sign around their

309
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:25.279
neck that says this is a due
process problem, or this is a Fourth

310
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:29.480
Amendment search and seizure problem, or
this is about the rule in Shelley's case.

311
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.880
You listen to what the problem is
and then your legal training allows you

312
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.839
to slot the difficulty into the right
arena so you can properly address the issue.

313
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:41.839
So, if the twelve, thirteen, fourteen, sixteen year old is

314
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:48.880
having mental difficulties, it may present
itself as a transgenderal hormona replacement theory,

315
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.799
but it may not be at all. There may be something else going on,

316
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:59.240
and the system wants to provide medical
and physical services because of the amount

317
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:02.640
of money involved, and the parents
believe. Many of the parents today are

318
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:06.559
in their thirties and forties, and
they grew up in a system where all

319
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:12.799
of us believe that LGBTQ individuals should
be treated equally with everyone else. I

320
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:21.960
don't want any benefit or cost to
someone who's a gay person to be made

321
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:26.079
as if they're not part of our
society. Of course they are, and

322
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.240
as an American, I don't want
any benefit and I want no cost to

323
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:34.799
be LGBTQ plus that's whatever it live
your life as an adult. But society

324
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:40.759
and government tells parents all the time
what they can and can't do with their

325
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.279
own children. How many times did
I have friends and family members and you

326
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.799
did too, who did not want
to wear a mask that children, especially

327
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:53.559
in grade school, were not at
risk of catching and having a bad consequence

328
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:59.240
from COVID nineteen. In fact,
I had read somewhere than in the state

329
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:03.960
of Ohio there wasn't one may I
use the term healthy child who died of

330
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.920
COVID nineteen. But in spite of
that, in parents saying I don't want

331
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.599
my kid to be wearing a mask. The medical community said wear a mask,

332
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.440
Government said wear a mask. Many
large private employers said wear a mask.

333
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.119
And so if some parent would have
said I got parental rights and I

334
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:26.720
don't want my kid to wear a
mask, the kid couldn't go to school,

335
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:32.480
had to stay home, had to
be homeschooled. When it comes to

336
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:37.480
all kinds of rights, privileges,
immunities, and opportunities, government will always

337
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.880
tell a parent what they can and
can't do with their own child. Now,

338
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.799
the road is broad and it's wide, but government says, well,

339
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:51.599
if you're a kid needs a blood
transfusion and you're a Jehovah witness, we'll

340
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:56.400
take it to court and overrule what
the parent wants. Certain kids have to

341
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.559
be in a child restrained seat for
a long period of time. You may

342
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.359
think, as if you know what, I don't want my kid in a

343
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.319
child restraint seat. Well, government
says you will do that whether you want

344
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:12.880
to or not. Government all the
time interferes with parental rights and keeps doing

345
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:18.279
it. And when it comes to
when it comes to the treatment, the

346
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.359
child doesn't a teenage boy or girl
doesn't walk in saying I'm transgender. There

347
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:29.119
could be a multitude of different issues
mentally affecting the child, and it's expressed

348
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:36.039
through wanting to change one gender.
Is there a big difference between something similar

349
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:44.799
to chemical castration as opposed to surgical
temptation. Chemical castration occurs when you take

350
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.559
drugs, many of which are approved
by the FDA that changes the person that

351
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.759
you are, and you go from
male to female or female to male in

352
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:57.960
a sense, awaiting surgery after you're
eighteen years old. Now, is that

353
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.480
a decision that a sixteen year old
girl should make, with all the difficulties

354
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.960
going on, with all the TikTok
generation, with all the YouTube videos,

355
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:15.440
with the encouragement of the culture to
act out your sexual fantasies. It is,

356
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:21.240
do you want a fifteen or sixteen
year old making a life altering decision

357
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.200
with the help and cooperation of a
parent and a doctor. I think not.

358
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.839
I think society's got to say,
in that particular circumstance, wait until

359
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:36.240
you're eighteen, Because you go through
puberty one time in your life, you

360
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.759
can't go through puberty again when you're
twenty five, twenty six, or twenty

361
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:42.759
seven. And if when you get
to be eighteen years old and you've been

362
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:49.880
chemically castrated because of HRTs, the
hormonal replacement therapy, the next step is

363
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:56.480
to have a surgical intervention cosmetically to
make the outside feel like the inside.

364
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:02.319
And I don't think a teenage boy
girl is equipped to make that decision.

365
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:07.000
And by permitting on one hand,
chemical castration, but on the other hand,

366
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:14.359
not permitting surgical intervention is a distinction
without much of a difference. The

367
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:21.200
child who's having these difficulties won't have
the problem solved by going through hormonal replacement

368
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.759
therapy. It doesn't mean Okay,
now I'm in great shape. Something else

369
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:30.880
pops up. It is masquerading as
desiring to change one's gender. But there's

370
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:37.000
other difficulties equally at work that need
to be addressed. And as Mike DeWine

371
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.559
just said, and he told me
off the air, there's about one thousand

372
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:45.640
or fifteen hundred children in the entire
state of Ohio and the various hospital programs

373
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:53.160
one to two thousand completely and the
great majority who begin chemical castration and hormonal

374
00:28:53.200 --> 00:29:00.359
replacement therapy have then developed other major
problems psychologically and otherwise. You can imagine

375
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.920
how much bullying happens in school today. If someone who appears to be a

376
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:10.319
male shows up wearing a dress or
vice versa, then you got a whole

377
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:15.160
different group a category of problems.
One thing he did do on Friday was

378
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:21.880
say that Planned Parenthood and others cannot
have drive through treatment for gender reassignment surgery.

379
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:27.279
As you may know, about sixty
percent pharmaceutical abortions are taking place today.

380
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:32.759
So the old standard are having a
big brick building in Mount Auburn and

381
00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:37.440
having large numbers of individuals. Individuals, mothers show up to kill their unborn

382
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:44.119
child. Unborn baby that is dissipating
because of the ability now to take two

383
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:49.400
pharmaceutical drugs and have the abortion at
home. And as a consequence, Planned

384
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:53.039
Parenthood and other facilities are looking at
other ways and making a lot of money.

385
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:57.680
And abortion is a good business for
Planned Parenthood, and so they want

386
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:04.359
to replace that with surgical reassignment and
hormone or replacement therapies of adults. So,

387
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:08.880
if you're twenty twenty five years old
and you feel as if you want

388
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:12.640
to change your gender as an American, you're an adult, it's your back,

389
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:15.640
your ball, and your ass.
Do what you want. To do

390
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:22.920
if you're an adult. But there's
certain parameters around any surgical and medical procedure

391
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.880
which exists today. That government has
a role. Because government very in conservative.

392
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.200
I would say, have at it. You're on your own. We

393
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.839
want to protect you. You're like
eighteen, but after that you're completely on

394
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.240
your own. So there has to
be rules in place. According to Governor

395
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:44.319
Mike DeWine, So these facilities that
take on these drive by drive through HRTs

396
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:49.920
have parameters, indoch chronologists and other
psychological services available to a person who is

397
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:56.200
twenty five or thirty five or forty
five and once to completely change one's gender.

398
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.839
So, as I said to Governor
de Wine, he stands alone.

399
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:06.640
Senator Steve Huffman, the Speaker of
the House, the great majority of Republicans,

400
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:11.839
hardly any Democrats, the Lieutenant Governor, the Secretary of State, the

401
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.839
treasurer, the auditor, the Attorney
General, David Yost, and Senator Vance

402
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:19.640
all stand against Mike DeWine. And
they look at this and say, wait

403
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:25.839
a minute. Government has a role
in protecting children when parents and the children

404
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:32.039
make some bad decisions with life altering
consequences. Is there a big difference between

405
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:37.880
taking the hormones which has been a
lightened to chemical castration, and then have

406
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:44.000
real castration to take place over the
age of eighteen because it changes who you

407
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:51.319
are and the natural processes of working
through difficulties and problems. How many tomboys

408
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:56.599
growing up as little girls had idiations
that I want to be a boy.

409
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.000
How many boys put on makeup and
walk around in their mother's sh clothing and

410
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.720
some of their shoes. Yes,
that happens. But to say to to

411
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:08.319
say to that family that at the
age of fifteen or sixteen, this pre

412
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:15.079
this teenager is going to make a
life altering decision which will resonate for the

413
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:17.920
next twenty or thirty years. I
think the state has a role in saying,

414
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:22.319
you know what, wait until you're
eighteen. Then you're an adult.

415
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.640
You may do what you want to
do. Let's continue with more coming up

416
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:30.559
after one o'clock. Today is Sean
Hannity like to do shows with him every

417
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:35.160
three or four times a year,
and one oh five today will be the

418
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:37.839
first, and then later on at
two of five. Today is the killing

419
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:44.039
of Kira Lane with two kids at
the hands of Mario Payne in Covington,

420
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.319
with Rob Sanders and Moore plus back
to the student's report at one thirty and

421
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:52.000
two thirty. All the exit interviews
are taking place with the Bengals and more.

422
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.759
Bill Cunningham, the Great American,
with you every day at your home

423
00:32:54.799 --> 00:33:00.440
of the Reds News Radio seven hundred
WULW. The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati is

424
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:07.240
the all Things Basementy Company. A
correct settling foundation will only get wordle days

425
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.319
ago, the Great Sean Hannity announced
through his multitudes of fans and friends that

426
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:15.960
he'd decided to forst sake Long Island, forget for sake Manhattan, and the

427
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.279
head to the sunny beaches of Florida
where he's got to. I'm sure a

428
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.920
good set up with so many helping
him doing what he must be done.

429
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:28.400
And Sean Hannity, all I can
say is, do you feel like Julius

430
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:31.680
Caesar or do you feel like John
Spewart is out in apology? Because I

431
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:35.599
watched last and I watched a couple
of nights ago, and you had John

432
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:38.480
Stewart begging you to stay eight years
ago. Can you tell the American people

433
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:45.839
why Sean Hannity left his birthplace?
Yeah? Bill? First of all,

434
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:49.200
Bill Cunningham, Happy New Year,
God bless you, God bless America.

435
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:51.759
It's great to check out with you
for the new year, because we need

436
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:54.920
a full report. America is hanging
by a thread and were counting on you

437
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:59.359
to pulls across the finish line.
The great people of Ohio, we need

438
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:01.880
them. We trust that they're going
to go in the right direction. My

439
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:07.519
prediction, Bill Cunningham, we may
have an election won by as a little

440
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:12.079
as two hundred thousand votes in six
separate states. Who knows what's going to

441
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:15.360
happen. Anyone that says they know
is full of it. With that said,

442
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:17.199
yes, I pulled the trigger.
I've been threatening to do this for

443
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:23.199
a long time, and you know, for all the obvious reasons. It's

444
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:30.519
funny because yesterday U Haul came out
with their migration statistics and they're the same

445
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.599
now the last three years, and
people are leaving California, New York,

446
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:38.840
Michigan, Illinois, and New Jersey
and they're going to states Texas and Florida

447
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:45.360
again one and two, followed by
the Carolinas and Tennessee. And people are

448
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:50.360
voting with their feet and they're saying
they've had enough of high taxes, they've

449
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:54.880
had enough burdens and regulation. They've
had had it with, you know,

450
00:34:55.079 --> 00:35:00.519
their rights beedter pressed. They've had
it with bad schools, high crime rates,

451
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:05.400
this defund dismantled, no bail laws. It's insane. It's like New

452
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.079
York City. It's become like a
free frawl. I don't know the last

453
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:12.800
time you've been there. I've been
in New York City with you at a

454
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:15.360
time when you can pretty much safely
walk the streets. It's not the case

455
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:20.400
anymore. If you can't do it, if you needed a guest. I

456
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:24.320
was sixteen seventeen blocks away from twenty
ninth and sixth. I walked straight up.

457
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:30.119
Maybe at seven thirty quarter late we
would do the show. Maybe Jerry

458
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:32.280
Springer dearly departed. I don't agree
with his politics, but he was a

459
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:36.800
good guy. The Great Debates,
he was a great guy. I remember

460
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.440
we had the big debate. Yeah, he's wonderful. You know. It

461
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:45.320
just doesn't think right. And then
to walk down back twenty blocks on sixth

462
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:47.599
Avenue at ten o'clock at night,
no problem. I felt as warm as

463
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:52.840
in my mother's arms. So policies
caused it, and policies can solve it.

464
00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:57.559
But I would think to get me
out of Deer Park, to get

465
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:00.679
me out of Cincinnati, to get
me to live in another state. I

466
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:04.599
mean, that's got to be.
It was more difficult or more easy than

467
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:08.519
you thought to finally become a refugee
in Florida, you know, Unlike you,

468
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:15.800
I was, like, you know, a traveling radio journeyman. And

469
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:19.800
you know, for example, I
live. I grew up in Long Island,

470
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.840
but I was gone for sixteen years, five years in Rhode Island,

471
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:29.639
five years in California, two years
in Punchville, Alabama, four years Atlanta,

472
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:32.199
Georgia. And then in nineteen ninety
six, I got the call from

473
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:36.559
Roger L's. They were putting on
a brand new channel called the Fox News

474
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:39.960
Channel. I'm now in my twenty
eighth year, Bill Cunningham, if you

475
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:45.960
would have made that bet twenty eight
years ago that I'd be the lone survivor

476
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:50.440
in primetime cable and the longest running
primetime cable news host in the history of

477
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:53.840
cable news, that would have been
a horrible bet, sir. Why why

478
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:58.280
do you say There's many are called, but few have been chosen. We

479
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:02.239
got to get onto the issues gay
and Kamala Harrison. But many are called.

480
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:05.920
Many are. But if you have
been chosen, what is it about

481
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.960
you that has made a connection for
almost thirty years and almost forty years in

482
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:15.280
radio? What is the connection that
you have to regular God fearing Americans that

483
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:21.559
others maybe don't you know? Actually
you're you gave me the answer in your

484
00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:25.840
question God fearing Americans. You know, I have said this my entire career.

485
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:31.199
Nobody believes me when I say it. I've learned and I've watched so

486
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:37.960
many people come and go way more
talented, more funny, smarter than I

487
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:46.159
am. You know, incredible intellectual
knowledge and degrees. But yet you know

488
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:51.760
a lot of people seem to have
this self destruct button. It's not healthy

489
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.760
to be famous. I say it
all the time, and I think two

490
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:59.880
things have kept me grounded. Number
one, my very strong belief in God,

491
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:04.239
and it is real. And number
two, you know the fact that

492
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.599
I was twelve years old washing dishes
and thirteen of cook and did all ten

493
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:14.000
years in the restaurant business and ten
years in construction. That was real work,

494
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.559
and it kept me grounded. And
you know, I get on my

495
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:20.880
knees every day and I thank God
for what I consider an undeserved life.

496
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.840
Billy Cunningham, You and I people
like us, we have been blessed beyond

497
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:28.440
what we deserve. It's that simple
to me. Whenever I get around,

498
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:30.719
You're and your clan, your sisters
keep you in line too, and sweet

499
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:36.920
baby, keep you in line.
And I'm always reminded of great Roman generals

500
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:40.199
coming back from gaul and there'd be
a slave in the in the Charriot saying

501
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:44.679
oh yes, but famous fleeting,
and boy is that the truth. And

502
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:46.920
so when you have a good family
structure, you got ciss, but you

503
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:51.280
got sisters, you got your in
laws, you got your group. It

504
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:54.400
kind of My sister just tried to
call while we were talking, and you

505
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:59.000
know, sweet Baby James is standing, you know, five feet away from

506
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:05.320
me. Billy Cunningham says, hello, you're a great American boat Huntingham.

507
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:13.039
This. Do you consider what you
do to be work? I mean,

508
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:17.440
if I didn't get paid to do
what I do, I probably still do

509
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:22.519
it. Anyway. One day when
they take this microphone and rip it away

510
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:27.280
from me or take away that camera, uh, I probably are gonna drive

511
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.679
around in the car and start doing
a talk show host for myself. And

512
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.760
I'll do the host and I'll be
the caller and then they're gonna want to

513
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:37.960
put me away in a funny farm
somewhere, probably deservedly so. But on

514
00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:42.719
a serious note, you know,
we have been through how many election cycles

515
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:47.360
together? How many years did we
go out and campaign in Ohio and Florida

516
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:55.760
and Pennsylvania and done dozens a lot. I loved it. But Sean Hannity,

517
00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:00.679
this election, I think we when
we when we text. If Trump

518
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:06.920
is reelected, there's going to be
total chaos, more indictments, more lawsuits,

519
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:09.599
more media coverage. On the other
hand, his policies work. But

520
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:15.360
on the other hand, if the
interchangeable drill bit takes over in November,

521
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:17.199
it could be Biden. I doubt
it. It could be Michelle, it

522
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:21.519
could be god knows who, Kevin
knew some did that great debate a couple

523
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:23.719
of weeks ago. Then we're gonna
have chaos. By the way I did

524
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:27.760
that, I did that on purpose. I'm not sure Joe's going to be

525
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:31.199
the guy. And under the reason
that I first did the interview with Gavin,

526
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:35.639
followed up by the debate with Governor
DeSantis, Who's you know, a

527
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:39.599
great governor. I'm glad to have
finally a governor that I like. I

528
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:45.599
will tell you. I was warning
people you've got to look beyond Joe Biden

529
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:50.400
and what and know what's out there
now. Gavin didn't answer my questions.

530
00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:53.079
I thought the statistics. I did
a fact based debate, all right,

531
00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:59.079
here are the statistics on homelessness,
here are the numbers of illegal immigrants.

532
00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:01.559
Here's what it's costing your estate.
Here's your budget, here's this budget,

533
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:07.840
here's crime statistics. And it was
fact based, and frankly, the numbers

534
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:13.119
in Florida are just infinitely better than
those in California. And people said,

535
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:15.159
well, that was unfair. I
said, well, if you don't like

536
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:20.960
the numbers, change the policy.
Don't blame the messenger. But I do

537
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:23.599
think that there is a possibility that
we're going to see at the Democratic National

538
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:30.840
Committee of Convention, rather a possible, you know, swap out joke.

539
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.480
I could see any scenario where Joe
would come out and say I'm not up

540
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.519
to the I don't think I can
run, and then the powers that be

541
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:43.880
the apparatic would then make the choice
for the Democratic Party, and I think

542
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:49.280
Gavin's would be right up there,
and Kamala Harris could be easily shut aside

543
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.639
by someone like Michelle Obama, and
that's going to be one hell of a

544
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:57.400
fight. We've had interesting elections in
the past, Sean Hannity, and nothing

545
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.519
is going to get us ready for
what's happening now because they've throw and everything

546
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.679
at Donald Trump and the kitchen sink
and it's not worked at this point.

547
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:09.039
Every assaultary tax amazing, Yes,
yes, how are that? When you

548
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:15.199
think about this this man, you
know, it goes. It defies all

549
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:21.639
conventional political gravity. We've been doing
our jobs. I'm now in by what

550
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:24.079
thirty fourth year in radio. I
think you've got me beat by a few

551
00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:30.320
years. And we've never seen anything
like this, and I don't we're never

552
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:35.679
going to see anything like it again
in our lifetime. And yet every single

553
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:39.559
indictment ends up with higher poll numbers, every arrayment higher poll numbers. Can

554
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:44.000
you explain that, Billy Cunningham?
But as I can't. People have figured

555
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:47.320
it out. They understand that Democrats, for example, can do exactly the

556
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:51.719
same thing, in fact ten times
the same thing, and it's put off

557
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:54.079
to the side, it's under investigation. But the same treatment they gave Ronald

558
00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:59.400
Reagan Bush forty one, Bush forty
three Trump before he got to office is

559
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:04.920
consistent, but now it's metastasized.
This Trump phenomenon is such that they have

560
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:09.559
to make sure he can't stand for
re election because everything they got control of

561
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.599
the checkbook, Sean Hannity. Right
now the Democrats are writing the checks,

562
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:15.840
and they don't want to stop writing
the checks, and they want the southern

563
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:20.880
border to be open. Imagine we
texted on this. Imagine five years from

564
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:27.320
now, we're completing the first Michelle
Obama term or the first Avenuwsom term.

565
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.599
Then it goes four more years.
Say we got nine years more of exactly

566
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:36.480
the same policies that Biden has on
the southern border and on spending, and

567
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:39.679
on the cities and public education.
What does America look like in nine years

568
00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:45.559
with the same policies. That would
be unrecognizable. That would not be the

569
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:49.519
country that we grew up in,
a country that believed in freedom and liberty

570
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:55.440
and capitalism and hard work being rewarded. All of those things would just disappear.

571
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.480
Look, the greatest threat. Most
people have not paid attention to what's

572
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:01.840
going on at the southern border.
By the way, this should be an

573
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:07.559
impeachable offense. Joe Biden swore an
Oath uphold our constitution. That means enforcing

574
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:12.519
the laws of the land. I'm
all for immigration, I just want to

575
00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:15.719
I want a background check, I
want a health check, and you know,

576
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:20.679
I want a means test so we
know people are not going to be

577
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:23.960
a burden on there on the new
country that they're entering. Other than that,

578
00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:30.280
Welcome to our country, go for
it, Welcome to freedom. You

579
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:34.039
know, we hope you make the
best out of it, but we're not

580
00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:37.360
doing that. Eight and a half
million people, Billy Cunningham in three years,

581
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:42.079
this guy is allowed unvetted people.
Hundreds from Iran, hundreds from Syria,

582
00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:45.320
thousands from Egypt, home of the
Muslim Brotherhood, Iran the number one

583
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:51.960
state sponsor of terror, their satellite
Syria. You have thousands from Afghanistan,

584
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:55.679
home of al Qaeda. You've got
twelve thousand plus from Russia, our number

585
00:44:55.719 --> 00:45:00.519
two geopolitical foe, twenty six thousand
from China. Billy Cunningham. That's a

586
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:07.840
lot of illegal immigrants. Why are
these people traveling all across the globe to

587
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:09.760
show up at our southern border.
Is it because they want a better life

588
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:15.039
for themselves and their family, or
maybe some of them, maybe a tiny

589
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:20.119
percentage, but enough of them have
intentions to hurt our country and hurt the

590
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:24.360
people of this great country. That's
that's what scares me. Under Joe Biden,

591
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:29.239
New York City has about eight point
five million people in the ninety five

592
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:32.119
or percent or higher or great Americans. I went into that city in twenty

593
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:35.440
eleven, thinking I was there once
in my life, I said, this

594
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:37.400
is going to be awful. When
I left in twenty fifteen, on a

595
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.400
regular basis, I said, boy, there are some great people that live

596
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:45.559
in New York. But in the
last three years, there's been about eight

597
00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:50.079
million illegals come into America, which
is the size of New York City.

598
00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:53.199
And that's only the beginning. I'm
waiting for my yorkas I guess the impeachment

599
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:55.880
thing is going to be filed at
some point to say, you know,

600
00:45:55.920 --> 00:46:00.960
what is one hundred million? Is
it fifty million, is two hundred million?

601
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:04.760
What's the number we can allow in? It doesn't stop well, I

602
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:07.840
mean, did you see him yesterday? Yesterday he blamed the environment, he

603
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:14.960
blamed Trump, he blamed Abbot,
he blamed you know, everything but himself.

604
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.079
Now, on the other hand,
this is the same guy along with

605
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:23.679
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden that repeatedly
lied to all of us by saying that

606
00:46:23.719 --> 00:46:28.440
the border is closed and the border
is secure. Stop lying. I hate

607
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:30.679
being lied to. You know,
if your kids, if my kids do

608
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:35.360
something stupid, and you know my
kids, I'm fine with that. I

609
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.199
made a few dumb decisions when I
was young. But if you plat out

610
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:43.559
lie to me, then you're really
going to be in trouble. I can't

611
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:51.480
stand it. So yeah, and
now they're going to sue Greg Abbott.

612
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:57.199
I had Abbot on TV last night, you know, pursuing him because he's

613
00:46:57.280 --> 00:47:00.480
doing their job and enforcing the law. But back to the institution now,

614
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:05.760
if you or I or anybody you
know in the great city of Cincinnati,

615
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:07.639
the home of Skyline Chili, which, by the way, I can buy

616
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:14.440
frozen spaghetti Skyline Chili in public right
down here in Florida where I live my

617
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:20.159
new home, and I've already had
two sweet baby James, you can pull

618
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.559
it out. I'll take a picture
and send it to you. Billy Cunningham,

619
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:27.679
I stock up on Skyline chili and
spaghetti. You'redicous. It's only and

620
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:31.920
because I want to keep my weight
down whatever. But anyway, long story,

621
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:37.679
we can save this country. Sure, there's nobody that can tell you

622
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:40.519
with any degree of certainty what's going
to happen in November. I can tell

623
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:45.119
you what's going to lead up to
November. And what's what we're going to

624
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:49.840
hear is Trump, Trump, Trump
and how evil and dangerous he is.

625
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:54.239
We're going to hear about January sixth, ad nauseum. We're going to hear

626
00:47:54.599 --> 00:48:00.360
the about abortion day in and day
out. And and the people of Ohio

627
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:05.159
went out and voted, they made
their decision. I think it happens to

628
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:09.159
be politically. I'm not speaking morally
where the country is. And I think

629
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:14.679
Republicans need to take note of what
the people of Ohio said on that referendum.

630
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:19.079
And the last thing they're going to
ever want to talk about is Joe's

631
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:22.840
failed record, because he doesn't have
a record of success. Find Sean Hannah

632
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:27.679
said, to buckle up, Sean
Hannity, you can add to that the

633
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:32.440
traditional playbook of Republicans are racist and
sexist, and misogynistic and homophobic. You

634
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:37.199
know the whole list of phobias.
I don't have any phobias. I find

635
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:43.559
racism repugnant. I find sexism repugnant. I believe God created every man,

636
00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:45.239
woman and child on this earth,
Tilly Cunningham, and I believe it with

637
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:49.880
all my heart. Sean Handedy to
conclude, I would say this that if

638
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:52.960
we have the continuation of the Trump
policies, America will flourished. If we

639
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:59.360
continue with the present policies, America
is finished, done over with and over

640
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.239
my dead. You and I need
to be like William of Wallace with our

641
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:08.320
intestines pulled out, yelling the word
freedom and and that you ask me why

642
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:14.239
voters continue to want uh Trump back
in office, because they figured it out

643
00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:16.960
as to what the Democrats have done
to this country are not for the country.

644
00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.239
As William Wallace said, as he
knew he might be walking into a

645
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:25.800
trap, I've got to try.
We've got to try what we've been doing

646
00:49:25.840 --> 00:49:29.800
all these years. I want all
those things I prayed to God for those

647
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:34.280
things, you know, a family
and children. And then he walked into

648
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:38.320
what ultimately became his death. Bring
down, Bring down long Shanks, Long

649
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:46.320
shanks, must bring long long shanks. Looks like Joe Biden actually. Nonetheless,

650
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:51.000
one of the greatest moments is when
when his daughter in law whispers in

651
00:49:51.039 --> 00:50:02.360
his ear that she's pregnant and the
child is not from his son. Absolutely

652
00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:07.480
a. Sean Hendy, congratulations,
thanks for coming on again, and let's

653
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:10.480
keep the line. Blessing, No
cunning and we need your voice this year.

654
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:14.960
And God bless the people of Ohio, God bless the people in this

655
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:19.719
country, and God bless America.
My friend give my best is sweet baby.

656
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:23.000
Thank you. All right, calculated
big Dog Fender, we love him

657
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:25.960

best. He likes to bark. All

658
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:29.440
right, let's continue with more.
Sean, thank you. No Cunningham with

659
00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:35.079
you every afternoon on news radio seven
hundred WULW prescriptions required online consultation with him.

660
00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:37.920
John gut Vixon to his left,
Charlie Jones motions out to the right,

661
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:44.360
crowding drops back to throw. Jake
now scans the field throw pot hore

662
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:49.559
Yo s bosh for this second touchdown
catch of the game, right in the

663
00:50:49.559 --> 00:51:00.800
middle of the end zone. He
beat Hellossy head hauled it in hell hellos,

664
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:08.840
I'm broadcasting. Man. Here we
are again. We stand. We're

665
00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:13.800
back about time. Where have you
been? Where have I been? Where

666
00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:16.559
have you been? I'm sitting there. Yeah, yeah, that's for sure.

667
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:21.639
Hey, you know what that that
highlight right there, Bengals wide receiver

668
00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:29.239
andre Yoshi Vash became the first Princeton
University football player with two touchdowns in the

669
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:36.920
game in the National Football League since
Dutch Hendrian did it in nineteen twenty four.

670
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:42.440
Really, yeah, how about that? I say I have in fun

671
00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:47.239
of me. Uh huh by Bob
Nightingale. Now what back that? In

672
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:53.440
the off season Reds. The Reds
have gone about one hundred and six million

673
00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:59.800
dollars extra, which is more than
the Cardinals, the Pirates, the Brewers,

674
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:05.960
the Cubs almost combined. So the
Reds are spending almost like the La

675
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:12.159
Dodgers, who spent over a billion
dollars. Will bring championship baseball to Cincinnati.

676
00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:15.679
He didn't say when correct, didn't
say, maybe it'll Maybe it'll be

677
00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:22.679
this year with these additions. In
fact, the Reds are spending the same

678
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:27.239
team's coming back and it's better.
Right. I may give my speech together

679
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:30.840
early at the end of March at
the Holy Grail. I am so excited

680
00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:34.119
about this team. I'm just getting
pumped up about it. He'll be with

681
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:37.159
me again, of course. Well, what you gotta do is you gotta

682
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:39.760
narrow it down a little bit.
Instead of starting in eighteen sixty nine,

683
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:45.639
maybe roll to seventy five and seventy
six or just kind of hit the tip

684
00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:51.079
of like when they won in nineteen
nineteen, and like nineteen forty and then

685
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:54.760
move on instead of worrying about,
you know, eighty seven thousand years ago.

686
00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:59.880
But young folks need a historical perspective, Well, you can do that.

687
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.039
I'll provide it. I'll provide the
perspective. Will he the stood reporters

688
00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:09.199
of pro service, every local Tamestar
heating and air conditioning dealers Tamestar quality you

one main gallery called Baker Heating at five

690
00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:20.880
one three, eight, three,
one fifty one twenty four spots. Can

691
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:23.360
I give you one more fact before
you give the sponsorship? Go ahead?

692
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:27.119
I already did it, But go
ahead. The Reds have spent in the

693
00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:31.920
off season more money. Yeah,
and the following teams put together right Boston

694
00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:39.079
Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays,
Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, New

695
00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:45.320
York Yankees, and the Texas Rangers. The Reds are free spending right now.

696
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:51.199
Bob Castalani has opened up the checkbook. Yes he has an Hopefully it'll

697
00:53:51.199 --> 00:53:54.000
work out. Will he mixing these
guys with the young dudes, with de

698
00:53:54.159 --> 00:54:04.119
la Cruz and Abbott and Williamson and
also Clean and others and Candelaureo and the

699
00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:07.840
rest of them. Well, I'm
going to predict the Reds their marched for

700
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:13.960
glory and for some God, I'm
saying right now the Reds ready for glory.

701
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:16.599
Will you wrap up the Bengals nine
and eight Bengals season tonight, Lance

702
00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:22.039
and lapping company on Bengals line starting
in six or five right here on seven

703
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:27.599
hundred WLW. One of the big
press conferences today was quarterback Jack Joe Burrow,

704
00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:30.840
meeting the media for the first time
since at risk surgery, said he

705
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:37.480
should be ready to throw by OTAs
the rehab is going very well until the

706
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:42.599
next injury. Well hopefully not.
The windows my whole career and everybody that

707
00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:45.639
that we have in that locker room, all the coaches we have. You

708
00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:50.719
know, things are going to change
year to year, but our windows always

709
00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:53.559
open, that's for sure. In
the NFL news today, the Atlanta Well,

710
00:54:53.599 --> 00:55:00.000
the Atlanta Falcons last night at midnight
fired head coach Arthur Smith. Washington

711
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:06.039
and let go head coach Ron Rivera
today. So and more are coming Michigan

712
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:12.320
and Washington tonight for the National Championship
in Houston, seven o'clock ESPN fifteen thirty.

713
00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:15.079
Who do you like in that matchup? If anyone, I'm going with

714
00:55:15.119 --> 00:55:17.800
the Huskies because I don't like that
team up North. I'm taking Michigan.

715
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.280
I'm taking the Wolverine. I can't
believe you want Washington. Do you want

716
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:27.199
Washington? I'll take the Huskies.
I'm told by Tom Weedman the home of

717
00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:35.000
Jake Browning, that there is a
good likelihood that Ryan Day, Ohio state

718
00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:39.880
head football coach, is under investigation
for spying on Maryland. You're ready your

719
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:44.159
mine? I got there. I
got this story right here, Ryan Day

720
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:50.440
at the site Shut Up Maryland Tennis
Tennis, one of the world's longest tenured

721
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:55.280
tournaments, is returning to his roots. After being played as John Barrett's Western

722
00:55:55.400 --> 00:56:00.920
The Southern Open since two thousand and
two, the tournament is returning to its

723
00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:06.880
original name Willie in nineteen oh one, the Cincinnati Open. But Who's It?

724
00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:09.400
Presented by and the event and the
event will be in Mason, the

725
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:14.440
home of the transmitter for the next
twenty five years. I have a call

726
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:17.119
in to the great John Barrett Ramsey's
the first. We're going to talk,

727
00:56:17.320 --> 00:56:23.119

how's it going. The tournament itself is

728
00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:27.480
staying a lot of construction going on. Right we go up and down Ho

729
00:56:27.639 --> 00:56:31.039
Chi Minh I seventy one trail.
You see lots of work happening. And

730
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:37.519
this is this is like having an
All Star Game for fourteen consecutive days every

731
00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:42.519
year for the next quarter of a
century. When you and I both retire

732
00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:46.400
together in glory in twenty five years. But Raphael Nadal is out of the

733
00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:52.039
Australian Open. Not good and it's
another torn hip muscle, not the one

734
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:57.159
that kicked him out for like the
almost last year. It's the other one

735
00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:02.400
now unbelievable. Andy Mack College Basketball. Purdue remains number one in this week's

The Longhorns are twenty fifth, Cincinnati
twenty ninth, and Dayton twenty sixth.

739
00:57:19.239 --> 00:57:23.920
How about b Yu the other night, b Yu they forget they they went

740
00:57:24.039 --> 00:57:29.519

half and three point land and couldn't do

741
00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:36.119
anything and the Bearcats upset him by
eleven in BYU territory. Not good.

742
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:40.639
The Mormons do not do well.
Bill Belichick still under contracts open the changes.

743
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:45.079
What does that mean? Belichick?
Where's he going to coach next season?

744
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:47.480
Segment? I have no idea,
Willy Wherever he wonts, somebody will

745
00:57:47.480 --> 00:57:54.719
pick him up. How about this
golf news Tiger Woods parting ways today with

746
00:57:54.880 --> 00:58:00.320
Nike. Impossible Wood sign with Nike
after turning pro at age twenty. He

747
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:06.320
is witting with the Nike brand for
twenty seven years and has made over five

748
00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:12.599
hundred million dollars with that company.
Like Sean Hannity money. Yeah, so

749
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:17.440
no more red red shirts, I
guess on Sunday unless he goes with somebody

750
00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:21.440
else. I don't know what's he
gonna do. What they got out of

751
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:24.920
the golf equipment business years and years
ago, Nike is not much of a

752
00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:28.800
brand in golf at all. Oh
okay, Well, so they want to

753
00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:31.039
focus on soccer, football, basketball, baseball, all right, Well,

754
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:36.280
they quit making golf clubs and golf
balls, so they're getting out of the

755
00:58:36.320 --> 00:58:38.960
golf business, that's why. And
then also get the latest on the Xavier

756
00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:46.320
Musketeers who take on Yukon this week
Sean Miller Show tonight at seven on fifty

757
00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:51.599
five KARC, the home of Dale
Donovan. When was the last time Xavier

758
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:54.239
beat Hillanova in Philadelphia? Has that
ever happened? I don't think it's ever

759
00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:59.639
happened. They were close at well, they had a couple of chances,

760
00:58:59.719 --> 00:59:04.639
right the Buzzer and the Desmond Claude
missed a layup and then missed the missed

761
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:09.199
a jumper that Byron Larket has made
in his sleep for the last fifty years.

762
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:14.880
He misses it right right in the
middle of the lane, and Villanova

763
00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:17.559
come, you know, escapes with
a wind. But now the Huskies are

764
00:59:17.599 --> 00:59:22.079
next for our beloved Musketeers. You
know, the Reds have always had the

765
00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:27.280
Cardinals beating up on him, the
Bengals always had Pittsburgh Steelers beating up on

766
00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:30.239
him, right, and the Wildcats
of Villanova constantly beat up on Xavior.

767
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:35.320
All this has got the change segment. At some point we got the change.

768
00:59:35.360 --> 00:59:37.559
Oh, hopefully twenty twenty four will
be a year of change. Willie,

769
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:42.599
where did we hear that the last
time. Change. Yeah, change,

770
00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:45.760
change to come. Sam Cook got
change is coming. How about how

771
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:52.480
about Alisia Reese teeing it up with
Stephanie Dumas being called out by Dumas And

772
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:57.679
now I understand that now what ree, Well, they got some comments to

773
00:59:57.719 --> 01:00:00.559
make, back and forth, back
and forth everywhere. See, it's all

774
01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:05.840
chaos. We have nothing but chaos
everywhere. Look we'll see. That's why.

775
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:08.079
That's why you need to be back
on from now on, because I

776
01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:13.599
will it's been chaotic over the Christmas
season in the new year, and now

777
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:17.639
things need to be calmed down.
That's your back chaos. Correct. What

778
01:00:17.639 --> 01:00:21.000
what are they? What are those
two mad about? I thought they were

779
01:00:21.320 --> 01:00:24.079
I thought they were buddies on the
on the on the what is it?

780
01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:30.679
The commissioner deal? And uh what's
her name? Was the the odd man

781
01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:34.880
looking out? No question? Well, you know every two years they elect

782
01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:37.760
one of their own, shall I
say, be the President of the Commission.

783
01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:42.239
Doesn't do anything much other than just
convening. That's all they are.

784
01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:47.159
And so it's time again for Alicia
Reese's term h to be the two years

785
01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:52.960
on the as the President of the
Commission, and so her arch nemesis,

786
01:00:53.239 --> 01:00:59.360
Stephanie Dumas gave a little speech,
did not vote for her, abstained,

787
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:04.320
she abstained and would not put Alisha
Reese in charge. And she said,

788
01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:08.800
among the following, we provide positive
guidance. You lead by example if you're

789
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:15.480
honest, transparent, humble, unselfish, collaborating, compassionate, you're a good

790
01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:21.360
listener, and you respect the opinions
of others. Don't be argumentative, and

791
01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:23.519
be a team player. When she
said that, she said, I cannot

792
01:01:23.599 --> 01:01:28.920
vote for Alisha Reese. Well,
unbelievable. Oh now we got to see

793
01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:34.000
what what I'm saying segment chaos.
We have nothing that's sing and you're and

794
01:01:34.039 --> 01:01:37.840
they're gonna be talking with the Bengals
right about some uh improvements and all this

795
01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:44.119
stuff. And you got chaos on
the Hamilton County Commission. I have coming

796
01:01:44.199 --> 01:01:47.639
up? What about three house?
What she say she voted for Alisha Reese,

797
01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:52.639
but Stephanie Dumas said she can't do
it. So it's it's one to

798
01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:57.519
one. So what Alisha Reese votes
for herself? Correct? She got she

799
01:01:57.639 --> 01:02:01.639
voted for herself. She won two
zip because Dumas said, nah, bab

800
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:06.360
nah, I'm abstaining from voting.
Now, how about this one segment?

801
01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:07.880
You know what you know, hold
on, you know the guy. You

802
01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:13.679
know what we need right now to
avoid all chaos for the next probably fifty

803
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:17.400
years. Charlie Lucan, Bingo,
come in, run, take over the

804
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:22.760
city, take over the county.
Run everybody out of town. Nobody knows

805
01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:25.320
who the council people are anymore.
You can't find the mayor with a search

806
01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:29.960
warrant around this town or nothing and
anything else. But you know what,

807
01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:37.480
just you know, just have Lucan, Supreme Allied Commander. What a lame

808
01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:42.599
lot, that's what That's what you
need right there, Supreme Allied Allied tri

809
01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:47.400
State. The Supreme tri State Commander
is Charlie Lucan and the vice president is

810
01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:52.519
Richard K. Jones. Wow,
there you go, Sergeant at arms Bingo.

811
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:57.199
Now segment. I spoke to Rob
Sanders off the air a couple of

812
01:02:57.239 --> 01:03:00.079
hours ago. Now what now?
What what's he? What's what's he upset

813
01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:07.519
about? Says that marijuana is being
smoked at pay Corps stadium And I'm going,

814
01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:14.920
what what? According to Rob Sanders, right that pay Corps is providing

815
01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:21.039
a smoking section for marijuana users.
And I'm saying I don't know what he's

816
01:03:21.079 --> 01:03:23.199
talking about. I don't know what, but he's going to make that charge

817
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:27.320
in about ten to fifteen minutes.
You better pay attention. I did not

818
01:03:27.559 --> 01:03:34.880
know you could do that at You
can't smoke marijuana now wherever you can smoke

819
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:40.599
cigarettes? Right for maybe the Bengals
provide fans a cigarette smoking area which is

820
01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:46.800
now being used by reck ray Lane's
If the county allows pot smoking at my

821
01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:52.199
ballpark, the American Oh, they'd
go crazy. No way segment, give

822
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:55.880

We have Rob Sanders standing by, ready

823
01:03:55.920 --> 01:04:01.719

marijuana on the three Ms Willie and Otter

right there. And now Taylor Swift's sexuality

833
01:04:46.679 --> 01:04:53.280
is being questioned by the New York
Times. Does she like girls? I'm

834
01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:56.840

837
01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:08.800
walk through the water. Maybe marijuana? What chaos? We have nothing but

863
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:17.920
be on the first show of the
year for the Great American if you're the

864
01:07:17.920 --> 01:07:21.800
most frequent guest, and for the
first time ever, Rob Sanders led the

865
01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:27.199
Way with Ted McKay and Kenton County
is the most frequent guest, and once

866
01:07:27.239 --> 01:07:30.119
again, Rob Sanders, Welcome again
to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Rob,

867
01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:34.119
how are you? Willie? I'm
doing fantastic in this new year.

868
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:38.719
You know they've kept me busy already. But as they say, you can't

869
01:07:38.760 --> 01:07:43.280
break Joe Dieter's record for the number
of guest appearances on the Bill Cunningham Show

870
01:07:43.599 --> 01:07:46.119
if you don't start off as the
first guest on the first day, or

871
01:07:46.119 --> 01:07:49.639
at least Willie's first day of the
new year. So I know that you're

872
01:07:49.719 --> 01:07:54.320
kind of like a Catholic school in
terms of the new year. You don't

873
01:07:54.360 --> 01:08:01.159
start back until January eighth. But
nevertheless, I'm honored to be on it,

874
01:08:01.239 --> 01:08:04.800
and I'm looking forward to breaking Joe's
record, as I'm sure this year

875
01:08:05.239 --> 01:08:12.119
will be just something of records of
all sorts that we'll have plenty of news

876
01:08:12.159 --> 01:08:15.639
to talk about. Given the way
this year started off already, let's talk

877
01:08:15.639 --> 01:08:19.039
about the last few days. Of
course. I love Latonia, I love

878
01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:23.439
Erlanger, I love that part of
Kenton County. And I see that a

879
01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:30.039
character named Mario Paine is charged killing
his twenty five year old baby mama,

880
01:08:30.159 --> 01:08:33.560
a mother of two. I assume
that both with him, who knows she's

881
01:08:33.640 --> 01:08:39.560
dead? Twenty five years old Mario
Pain has been apprehended off the air.

882
01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:43.560
You told me you spent most of
the weekend working on this matter, and

883
01:08:43.960 --> 01:08:47.800
the problems of Cincinnati are bleeding over
much like a tsunami out of the Ohio

884
01:08:47.920 --> 01:08:51.520
River and in the banks of northern
Kentucky. Tell us about the Mario Pain

885
01:08:51.640 --> 01:08:58.640
matter, well, Willie, this
unfortunately is very sad domestic violence situation.

886
01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:01.000
You know that's I don't care what
you're astiction you're in, or how low

887
01:09:01.039 --> 01:09:06.279
your crime rate is, Domestic violence
is something that unfortunately perpetrates just about all

888
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:11.399
of American society, and this weekend, Kenton County was no different. Mario

889
01:09:11.560 --> 01:09:14.520
Paine's thirty eight years old. He's
from Covington. He was in the middle

890
01:09:14.560 --> 01:09:18.359
of a custody exchange of his two
children that he shares with Kiera Elaine.

891
01:09:19.079 --> 01:09:26.199
They were at her house in Latonia, and I don't know exactly what precipitated

892
01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:30.039
the argument, but obviously they were
not happy with one another, and he

893
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:34.039
told her something to the effect of
I've got something for you, when he

894
01:09:34.079 --> 01:09:39.239
pulled out a handgun and began firing
at her while she was standing in the

895
01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:44.079
front door of her residence on thirty
fourth Street. She was shot a number

896
01:09:44.119 --> 01:09:48.039
of times and died at the scene. Mister Payne ditched his phone, got

897
01:09:48.119 --> 01:09:51.840
his kids out of the car,
and took off from the scene. Covington

898
01:09:51.880 --> 01:09:56.800
police, however, made quick work
of him, because he was arrested in

899
01:09:56.840 --> 01:10:00.680
the early morning hours today down in
Louisville, Kentucky. And so we appreciate

900
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:04.600
the assist from our friends at the
Louisville Metro Police Department. But he is

901
01:10:04.640 --> 01:10:11.800
now behind bars, and he's going
to be wishing maybe that he had taken

902
01:10:11.880 --> 01:10:15.279
matters into his own hand, because
I anticipated he'll probably spend the rest of

903
01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:17.680
his life in prison. At this
rate, we don't look very kindly upon

904
01:10:17.800 --> 01:10:23.000
people that killed the mother of their
children, much less do so right in

905
01:10:23.119 --> 01:10:28.239
front of her own children. They
also discovered during the course of their investigation

906
01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:31.840
that he called a mother, a
different mother of his children. Apparently mister

907
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:38.560
Payne has children with multiple women.
He called a different child's mother and told

908
01:10:38.640 --> 01:10:42.199
her that he really effed up.
Of course he didn't use f he used

909
01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:45.359
the word I can't say on your
show on air, but told her that

910
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.039
he really effed up and he's not
going to be seeing her for a while.

911
01:10:48.159 --> 01:10:54.520
So I've been working with the Covington
Police detectives have done a bang up

912
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:58.720
job as usual. Covington's crime bureau
is top notch, and we have made

913
01:10:58.880 --> 01:11:03.239
quick work of mister getting him into
custody, and we'll have him in front

914
01:11:03.239 --> 01:11:08.640
of the Kenton County Grand Jury in
short order. According to your press release,

915
01:11:08.760 --> 01:11:13.239
Mario Drian Payne, thirty eight,
at Covington, has charged with murder

916
01:11:13.239 --> 01:11:16.079
and possession illegally have a handgun as
a convicted felon. So I would assume

917
01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:19.279
that mister Payne is not unknown to
the system. He's been like a one

918
01:11:19.319 --> 01:11:24.199
man time waved the past twenty years
of his life, explain what he did

919
01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:30.079
before he murdered his baby mama.
He's got prior felony convictions out of Boone

920
01:11:30.119 --> 01:11:34.640
and Kenton Counties for possession of cocaine, trafficking cocaine, and trafficking marijuana.

921
01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:40.399
So he, like you said,
is no stranger to the criminal justice system.

922
01:11:40.800 --> 01:11:45.920
He was just barely out of the
five year window of eligibility we'll look

923
01:11:45.960 --> 01:11:48.600
back window to be a persistent felony
offender. However, given the fact that

924
01:11:48.640 --> 01:11:55.159
he's facing a capital offense for murder
and looking at twenty to fifty years or

925
01:11:55.239 --> 01:11:59.079
life in prison for the murder sentence
alone, I don't know that that's necessarily

926
01:11:59.079 --> 01:12:02.560
going to come into play. Accepted, the fact that he is a convicted

927
01:12:02.560 --> 01:12:06.039
felon in possession of a handgun just
goes to show you why we take that

928
01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:12.279
crime so seriously, because convicted felons, people that shouldn't have handguns in the

929
01:12:12.319 --> 01:12:16.079
first place, are responsible for such
a large volume, a large percentage of

930
01:12:16.079 --> 01:12:20.079
the crime we deal with. That's
why we put felons in prison if they

931
01:12:20.119 --> 01:12:25.159
are caught with weapons. And I
just wish that we had caught mister pain

932
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:30.439
before he used his illegal handgun on
the mother of his two children. And

933
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:35.239
the issue here is that I can't
imagine being thirty eight years old several baby

934
01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:39.119
mamas. I don't know how many
kids, may I use the old term

935
01:12:39.119 --> 01:12:43.880
out of wedlock. A career criminal
when you're thirty eight years old and you've

936
01:12:44.119 --> 01:12:47.399
organized your life in such a way
as to be that person, What did

937
01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:51.159
mister Payne do, like get up
in the morning. I assume it didn't

938
01:12:51.199 --> 01:12:55.560
work, but I assume he had
expenses and bills to be paid. I

939
01:12:55.600 --> 01:12:59.680
would assume he had child support orders. I would assume he was still in

940
01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:04.399
an an illegal lifestyle, selling drugs, breaking into cars, breaking into homes,

941
01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:09.000
drug possession, marijuana, whatever it
might be. Do you have any

942
01:13:09.039 --> 01:13:15.079
sense of the weeks months before Payne
murdered Kiera Lane as to what he did

943
01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:17.239
for a living? Did he?
You know, most of us get up

944
01:13:17.239 --> 01:13:19.840
today. It's Monday, Monday afternoon. We get up Monday morning, we

945
01:13:19.880 --> 01:13:24.680
go to work, we do something. What did mister Payne do on a

946
01:13:24.720 --> 01:13:29.279
regular basis as a productive citizen in
the last several months? What did he

947
01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:33.199
do well? The coming from police
detectives, I know, looked into whether

948
01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:35.600
or not he was employed. They
found out that to there, or at

949
01:13:35.680 --> 01:13:39.119
least as far as they can tell, he was not. Of course,

950
01:13:39.159 --> 01:13:45.239
the only employment history we are aware
of is unlicensed nighttime pharmaceutical sales, what

951
01:13:45.359 --> 01:13:48.640
some other folks might refer to as
drug dealing. That's all we know about

952
01:13:48.239 --> 01:13:53.439
his record. His employment history is
that's how he earned a living. So

953
01:13:54.399 --> 01:13:58.720
I would hate to speculate at this
time, since it's possible jurors out there

954
01:13:58.760 --> 01:14:01.279
for the trial that he's going to
have come up sometime this year, hopefully,

955
01:14:01.399 --> 01:14:05.960
but his track record certainly makes them
send an off a lot like a

956
01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:10.760
drug dealer. And so you have
children, young children. I would assume

957
01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:15.079
if Lane, the mother is twenty
five, I would assume a couple of

958
01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:19.119
kids with her of tender years,
an entire another group of Americans lives are

959
01:14:19.199 --> 01:14:23.640
ruined without a father in the home, a mother is dead, I would

960
01:14:23.680 --> 01:14:28.760
assume the family is incomplete turmoil.
Those two kids plus others go to foster

961
01:14:28.920 --> 01:14:32.439
care, go to orphanages. What
happens to them to my knowledge right now,

962
01:14:32.439 --> 01:14:35.640
they are in the custody of family. They are very young children.

963
01:14:36.239 --> 01:14:41.199
As you mentioned, or as you
deduced from the situation, there were a

964
01:14:41.279 --> 01:14:45.760
number of family members that responded to
the Covington Police Department shortly after this shooting

965
01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:50.800
them that were involved. I don't
know which family member has taken them in,

966
01:14:50.880 --> 01:14:56.359
but I believe that the two children
are with family of the deceased is

967
01:14:56.439 --> 01:15:00.359
Lane at this time. Another disaster, a complete disaster. Well, on

968
01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:04.239
an unrelated matter, I see the
state legislature in Frankfurt's Frankfurt's going to try

969
01:15:04.239 --> 01:15:11.479
to expand the conditions under Andy Basheer
for medical marijuana, expanding it greatly.

970
01:15:11.680 --> 01:15:15.399
And Ohio is about, I think, to allow recreational marijuana. Is that

971
01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:20.479
a nightmare for law enforcement? When
across the pond you have Ohio, which

972
01:15:20.520 --> 01:15:25.239
is going to be recreationally complete within
the next three to six months. You

973
01:15:25.359 --> 01:15:30.640
also have in Kentucky all these new
conditions for medical marijuana. Is it true?

974
01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:35.000
I know Joe Dieters before he became
Justice. Joe and Melissa Poters have

975
01:15:35.079 --> 01:15:40.159
said the same thing that they don't
want to focus on recreational use of marijuana.

976
01:15:40.399 --> 01:15:43.920
Do something else. Is that still
the attitude in Kenton County? What

977
01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:48.399
message would you send to those using
marijuana in Kenton County with all this happening

978
01:15:48.439 --> 01:15:53.119
all around you, Oh, Willie, I can't begin to tell you how

979
01:15:53.159 --> 01:15:58.680
many arrest citations I read on a
daily basis, literally a daily basis,

980
01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:03.319
that start out with the car stank
of marijuana, and so the officer searched

981
01:16:03.319 --> 01:16:08.039
it, and then they found something
else, whether it's stolen goods, whether

982
01:16:08.079 --> 01:16:13.359
it's guns in the possession of felon, whether it's cocaine and methamphetamine or heroin

983
01:16:13.479 --> 01:16:16.520
or fentanyl, all kinds of other
illicit narcotics. Almost all of the arrests

984
01:16:16.560 --> 01:16:23.800
are citations involve cars that stink of
marijuana. So number one, you certainly

985
01:16:23.800 --> 01:16:27.560
should not be riding around with it
because if you are, it's still illegal

986
01:16:27.560 --> 01:16:30.720
in Kentucky. No matter what Andy
Basheer says, he can offer all the

987
01:16:30.760 --> 01:16:33.720
pardons that he wants, which is
really what he's done. He's not legalized

988
01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:38.880
it. He's just told everyone that
he will pardon them, but that doesn't

989
01:16:38.920 --> 01:16:42.520
change the fact that it is illegal
to begin with. So the police can

990
01:16:42.600 --> 01:16:46.159
search your car if you're caught with
it, but if they're doing anything else

991
01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:48.880
illegal, they're going to get in
a heck of a lot more trouble than

992
01:16:49.000 --> 01:16:53.159
just the marijuana. You know,
we don't get really excited about people with

993
01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:57.520
the dimebag of marijuana personal use of
marijuana. What we do get excited about

994
01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:00.239
is people committing other crimes while they
are using that little bit of marijuana,

995
01:17:00.279 --> 01:17:06.039
which people driving under the influence of
that marijuana, wrecking their cars, crashing

996
01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:10.800
into other innocent civilians that are just
trying to go about this business. This

997
01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:14.319
is going to be such a zoo. Already is to an extent a zoo.

998
01:17:14.359 --> 01:17:15.720
Willie. You know, I tell
you all the time, I don't

999
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:19.920
cross the river very often. I
have not crossed the river for a Bengals

1000
01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:24.439
game in a good long time this
season, ever since Joe Burrow got hurt.

1001
01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:27.319
But I found out from my father
who was at the game this weekend

1002
01:17:27.560 --> 01:17:32.359
that apparently they now have a marijuana
smoking section somewhere in pay Corpse Stadium that

1003
01:17:33.039 --> 01:17:38.119
you can go recreationally consume your marijuana. And it just makes me roll my

1004
01:17:38.199 --> 01:17:40.439
eyes that, oh my gosh,
here we go. It's already started.

1005
01:17:41.119 --> 01:17:46.720
We're not even confining the recreational marijuana
used to someone's home or residence. We're

1006
01:17:46.800 --> 01:17:49.880
encouraging it apparently when they're out and
about, as long as you're on the

1007
01:17:49.920 --> 01:17:55.319
north side of the river. But
everybody needs to know it's still illegal once

1008
01:17:55.359 --> 01:17:59.079
you cross the river. So don't
think that just because it's legal in Ohio

1009
01:17:59.359 --> 01:18:02.560
or medicinal in Ohio, or whatever
other excuse you used, you're only gonna

1010
01:18:03.039 --> 01:18:09.439
compound your troubles exponentially. As police
starts searching through your vehicle or on your

1011
01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:13.199
person, or in your backpack or
wherever else you might keep whatever other things

1012
01:18:13.199 --> 01:18:15.800
you don't want the police to see, they will find that if you are

1013
01:18:16.199 --> 01:18:23.039
riding around consuming your Ohio marijuana in
Kentucky. So you're saying that pay Course

1014
01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:26.640
Stadium, which by the way,
is a facility owned and operated by Hamilton

1015
01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:30.880
County itself, Hamilton County, Inc. The County Commissioners that they have now

1016
01:18:30.640 --> 01:18:36.800
a section for the recreational use of
marijuana inside pay Courtse Stadium. That's what

1017
01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:41.720
I hear, WILLI, And it's
you know again makes me roll my eyes

1018
01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:45.880
because they have enough trouble with alcohol
at NFL stadiums and people being drunker than

1019
01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:48.079
they should be and dumber than they
should be. And you know, I

1020
01:18:48.159 --> 01:18:51.439
enjoy a nice Miller light. Well, I'm watching my Bengals play when I

1021
01:18:51.479 --> 01:18:56.520
do go to the games. But
some of the folks there tend to overindulge

1022
01:18:56.640 --> 01:18:59.359
just a tad, whether it's before
they come in, you know, doing

1023
01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:02.279
shots in the parking lot or whatever, or even if they're drinking some of

1024
01:19:02.279 --> 01:19:06.000
those what I think, they're like
fourteen dollars beers. Now that's a little

1025
01:19:06.039 --> 01:19:11.039
expensive for me to be over indulging
in. But nevertheless, some people get

1026
01:19:11.159 --> 01:19:14.079
very excited about it. But now
they're throwing marijuana on top of it.

1027
01:19:14.479 --> 01:19:17.520
So we got a bunch of I
assume drunk and high folks running around the

1028
01:19:17.520 --> 01:19:21.119
stadium getting in fights with one another. In fact, you know, I

1029
01:19:21.239 --> 01:19:26.439
had on Governor Mike Dwain and others
and head on prosecutors in Ohio. They

1030
01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:30.920
tell me that right now as we
speak this Monday afternoon, you can walk

1031
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:36.119
around and smoke marijuana. You can
possess it, you just can't legally buy

1032
01:19:36.159 --> 01:19:40.640
it. And the rules there are
no rules. And I don't know if

1033
01:19:40.680 --> 01:19:45.640
somebody just morphs marijuana and suddenly it's
in your between your fingers. But Pay

1034
01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:50.520
Corpse Stadium, I think, I
don't know if the founders of pay Corpse

1035
01:19:50.520 --> 01:19:56.479
Stadium, pay Corps itself would enjoy
this, But the idea of marijuana smoke

1036
01:19:56.600 --> 01:20:00.560
all over the place. When you
walk around Washington Park in this summertime,

1037
01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:02.960
I imagine it's going to get may
I use the term worse before it gets

1038
01:20:02.960 --> 01:20:09.479
better, that the smell of marijuana
will waffle across the Ohio River into Covington

1039
01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:14.359
pay Course Stadium. If in fact
they have a smoking marijuana section, I

1040
01:20:15.039 --> 01:20:20.079
would assume it's ordered by the county, because individuals can walk around the streets

1041
01:20:20.079 --> 01:20:25.560
of Cincinnati smoking pot as I speak, until the rules at all change.

1042
01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:29.479
You can be on a sidewalk in
a public facility, and pay Course Stadium

1043
01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:33.239
is a public facility owned by the
public in a sense, and so to

1044
01:20:33.279 --> 01:20:39.279
provide areas for marijuana use, I
think the goal might be to keep people

1045
01:20:39.279 --> 01:20:44.720
from using marijuana while sitting at their
seat. And so I don't know where

1046
01:20:44.760 --> 01:20:47.159
we're headed. Did you think as
a prosecutor you'd ever have to deal with

1047
01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:51.279
these kinds of issues. No?
No, And it's already getting complicated enough

1048
01:20:51.279 --> 01:20:56.159
with Ohio doing it. Will it's
so much for tax it and regulate it,

1049
01:20:56.199 --> 01:20:59.840
right? Isn't that what everybody says
when they start beating the drum for

1050
01:21:00.319 --> 01:21:04.239
legalization is tax it and regulated.
Whill Ohio has managed to legalize it without

1051
01:21:04.279 --> 01:21:09.880
taxing it or regulating it. In
fact, there is no legal marijuana to

1052
01:21:09.880 --> 01:21:14.800
be purchased, So that means everybody's
buying this marijuana that's now legal, but

1053
01:21:14.800 --> 01:21:18.680
they're buying it from an unlicensed salesperson. So every marijuana transaction that leads to

1054
01:21:18.720 --> 01:21:24.760
marijuana and Ohio, if it's not
from a licensed dispensary, which the vast

1055
01:21:24.800 --> 01:21:29.520
majority are now not because those only
handle medical marijuana. So all these folks

1056
01:21:29.560 --> 01:21:34.159
doing it recreationally now are buying marijuana
from an illegal drug dealer. It's just

1057
01:21:34.479 --> 01:21:39.479
so we're what encouraging illegal marijuana now. I don't know, I don't get

1058
01:21:39.479 --> 01:21:41.960
it. I think they keep it
on the north side of the river,

1059
01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:45.880
but I know it won't. Because
people don't understand geography, they don't seem

1060
01:21:45.880 --> 01:21:48.800
to understand state lines. They still
bring it on the south side of the

1061
01:21:48.880 --> 01:21:53.159
river. They still smoke it down
on riverside tribing Covington while they look at

1062
01:21:53.159 --> 01:21:56.319
all the pretty lights with a gun
in their back pocket. And that gets

1063
01:21:56.319 --> 01:21:59.319
you a felony right there, even
if it's just one little joint that you

1064
01:21:59.359 --> 01:22:01.119
have, if you have with a
gun in Kentucky, that's a felony.

1065
01:22:01.159 --> 01:22:04.479
Offense, Willy. So folks need
to be a little more cautious, you

1066
01:22:04.479 --> 01:22:08.560
know, especially once they start using
it. They still need to be cautious.

1067
01:22:08.600 --> 01:22:11.600
That wait a second. Once I
cross that state line, you know,

1068
01:22:11.640 --> 01:22:15.119
the price poker goes up, the
rules change. Andy Basheer is not

1069
01:22:15.159 --> 01:22:17.479
going to pardon me before I go
to the Kenton County Detention Center. And

1070
01:22:17.680 --> 01:22:21.079
good luck if you get one.
Once you get out, and it's twenty

1071
01:22:21.119 --> 01:22:27.840
one and I see this whole area
right with difficulties. It's the tax it

1072
01:22:28.000 --> 01:22:30.359
regulated make money out of it.
Now, no one's making any money out

1073
01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:34.239
of it. It's really nelly being
used, I guess in NFL football games,

1074
01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:38.880
which I'd never heard of before.
And you can use it anywhere.

1075
01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:42.680
You can smoke a cigarette, You
can smoke pot. You can legally possess

1076
01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:45.800
it and you can smoke it,
but you can't buy it, so I

1077
01:22:45.840 --> 01:22:48.239
don't know. And you can grow
it in your home right now. If

1078
01:22:48.239 --> 01:22:51.840
you want to start growing pot right
now in your home, you can do

1079
01:22:51.960 --> 01:22:56.600
that. Of course, it takes
three to four months from seed to weed.

1080
01:22:57.079 --> 01:22:59.600
Takes three to four months to get
it done the right way. But

1081
01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:02.840
we're in never never really have a
bunch of marijuana farmers now out in Deer

1082
01:23:02.840 --> 01:23:06.039
Park, Willie? Is that?
Is that what everybody's planting their crops in

1083
01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:12.640
their backyard and Deer Park and Indian
Hill and all the time places in north

1084
01:23:13.039 --> 01:23:15.840
I guess Southern Ohio. Yeah,
well, right now the weather is so

1085
01:23:15.920 --> 01:23:19.000
bad you can't do it outside.
But guess what inside your home you can

1086
01:23:19.039 --> 01:23:25.399
grow all kind of marijuana and it's
completely legal, and you can smoke it

1087
01:23:25.479 --> 01:23:29.279
anywhere you can smoke a cigarette,
completely legal. And I'm thinking, what

1088
01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:31.720
the hell's up with all this?
But Rob Sanders, once again, let's

1089
01:23:31.720 --> 01:23:36.720
have a year free of homicide,
free of a woman getting killed on custody,

1090
01:23:38.159 --> 01:23:40.439
the only one this year, Willy, it would be nice if we

1091
01:23:40.439 --> 01:23:43.079
would have a year. I know
that we did not get off to a

1092
01:23:43.119 --> 01:23:45.800
good start, but it'd be nice
if we only had one homicide this year,

1093
01:23:45.840 --> 01:23:48.319
the one we've already had. Hopefully
that's the way it goes. But

1094
01:23:48.359 --> 01:23:51.479
I'm not holding my breath anytime soon. On a different note, though,

1095
01:23:51.520 --> 01:23:56.000
Willie, I gotta say, you
know, can maybe you can answer a

1096
01:23:56.079 --> 01:23:59.640
question for me? Do you just
have a really good agent that negotiates all

1097
01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:04.399
your time? I'm off all your
vacation time or is iHeartMedia just very giving

1098
01:24:04.479 --> 01:24:09.960
when it comes to vacation time,
Because as much time as you've managed to

1099
01:24:09.960 --> 01:24:14.880
take off over Christmas holidays, I
got it. If it's an agent that's

1100
01:24:14.920 --> 01:24:17.319
negotiating this contract, I gotta get
a working from me. But I don't

1101
01:24:17.319 --> 01:24:20.479
know. Maybe it's just iHeart because
you know, Rocky Boyman doesn't work on

1102
01:24:20.520 --> 01:24:26.039
Thursdays and Friday during football season,
so it seems like everybody gets a lot

1103
01:24:26.039 --> 01:24:28.760
of off days. But how do
I go about getting that into my contract?

1104
01:24:29.359 --> 01:24:35.239
I will take your advice in questioning
under advisement and have DJ Hodge and

1105
01:24:35.279 --> 01:24:40.479
Scott Reinhard call you first thing in
the morning. But I'm going to try

1106
01:24:40.479 --> 01:24:43.439
to take some more time off in
twenty twenty four. That's what I'm gonna

1107
01:24:43.479 --> 01:24:45.880
do. I don't know that you
can take much more time off, Willie,

1108
01:24:45.880 --> 01:24:48.960
And I mean, that's an awful
How many off days did you get

1109
01:24:49.079 --> 01:24:53.760
last year? It was a lot. I think we're pushing almost it's like

1110
01:24:53.960 --> 01:24:58.000
being on sabbatical almost forty days.
Very impressive. Well, maybe you can

1111
01:24:58.039 --> 01:25:01.319
bring DJ to our and I'll just
add him to the list of people that

1112
01:25:01.399 --> 01:25:05.760
I am buying stakes for and he
can join you and I and our lovely

1113
01:25:06.000 --> 01:25:10.720
wives down at wallt stitching Post and
maybe he can help set that up for

1114
01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:15.119
me. Let's get her Ja to
talk to the Coma of Kentucky. Rob

1115
01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:18.279
Sanders, you're a great American.
Thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham

1116
01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:24.279
Show. God bless you and God
bless the Commonwealth. Thanks Willie and many

1117
01:25:24.319 --> 01:25:27.279
more. I'll talk to you soon, I'm sure. Thank you all right,

1118
01:25:27.319 --> 01:25:30.520
Rob Sanders. Let's continue with more
news next at your home of the

1119
01:25:30.560 --> 01:25:33.960
Bengals, where I guess you can
smoke pot inside pay Course Stadium. Who

1120
01:25:34.000 --> 01:25:39.600
knew that on seven hundred WULW currents
issued by Sutton Bank and Celtic Bank members

1121
01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:47.640

01:26:03.439 --> 01:26:08.239

gonna make it. Is he still alive

1125
01:26:08.359 --> 01:26:12.640

1126
01:26:12.680 --> 01:26:15.880
Minnesota someplace Alamazoo was where he's working

1127
01:26:15.920 --> 01:26:18.800

limo with him. Oh, I'll tell

1128
01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:24.600
you what. I'll tell you what. And I and Joe Espisito. I

1129
01:26:24.800 --> 01:26:28.720
had nothing to do one summer,
and I hitched bike out to La went

1130
01:26:28.840 --> 01:26:31.399
to see a couple of music acts
in the Hollywood Bowl. Got back in

1131
01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:38.720
my Descoto with the car just fell
apart on the Santa Monica Boulevard. Put

1132
01:26:38.760 --> 01:26:43.640
out, got of the outskirts for
Las Vegas, and a white limo pulled

1133
01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:47.079
over. I'm hitchhiking to go to
McCarran field. And opened the back door

1134
01:26:47.319 --> 01:26:53.119
was Joe Esposito sitting there was the
King of rock and roll, Elvis Presley.

1135
01:26:53.159 --> 01:26:56.039
Say man, what you doing?
I said, King, I need

1136
01:26:56.079 --> 01:26:59.399
a ride to McCarran field to say
get in. What was on? What

1137
01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:06.199
was playing was by Las Vegas my
way with Frank Sinatra listening in the back.

1138
01:27:06.279 --> 01:27:10.800
I spoke to Joe in this unbelievable
story. Ever, Elvis, that's

1139
01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:14.840
ten minute drive. Dropping off with
garen Field, I call mom, Mom,

1140
01:27:15.239 --> 01:27:17.760
I mean money. I got to
come home. Traveler's aid. But

1141
01:27:17.880 --> 01:27:21.640
the King, the King and I
rode together. Travl Aid was in ninth

1142
01:27:21.720 --> 01:27:26.199
in eighteen ninety five. That's what
That's a year it happened. You can't

1143
01:27:26.640 --> 01:27:31.159
travelers? Was it? Travelers?
Remember that one? No, No,

1144
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:34.439
I was just completely traveler, was
like, you know, you could call

1145
01:27:34.479 --> 01:27:39.119
somebody, they send you money.
Secondly, I sent to you Rock a

1146
01:27:39.159 --> 01:27:46.720
few weeks ago the great victory of
Xavier football in the Sun Bowl, ready

1147
01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:51.159
to beat up on UC and then
later Notre Dame. And thirdly, did

1148
01:27:51.159 --> 01:27:57.039
you know that the Notre Dame Fighting
Irish men's basketball team lost to Duke by

1149
01:27:57.079 --> 01:28:00.880
twelve points in South Bend. They've
won a toe will four games. Whatever

1150
01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:04.680
happened to Mike Bray, I'll tell
you what. Notre Dame stinks and facebook

1151
01:28:04.960 --> 01:28:08.840
every sport. Here's what it was
like. What about the Sun Bowl?

1152
01:28:08.920 --> 01:28:12.399
What about this first ball? What
about the Sun Bowl forty to three over

1153
01:28:12.439 --> 01:28:15.359
the Beavers? Yeah, okay,
we lick the Beavers good, all right,

1154
01:28:15.640 --> 01:28:18.880
and it's gonna be a springboard in
the next season. We got the

1155
01:28:18.960 --> 01:28:24.399
quarterback, we got the right wide
receivers, we got the power, we

1156
01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:29.479
got the money, we got it
all. Secondly, Notre Dame basketball,

1157
01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:31.920
we're a tournament team. Will he
Okay, we don't much care about the

1158
01:28:31.960 --> 01:28:35.199
regular season. We're just kind of
trying to figure out some things, figure

1159
01:28:35.239 --> 01:28:39.680
out what our weaknesses are, and
come tournament time, that's when we turn

1160
01:28:39.720 --> 01:28:43.119
it on. Well, what about
the football team, what about the girls

1161
01:28:43.239 --> 01:28:46.039
volleyball team? What about the men's
golf team? On the tournament team?

1162
01:28:46.560 --> 01:28:49.640
And I vowed while you were gone, and I will vow and now on

1163
01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:56.319
your first day back in twenty twenty
four, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will

1164
01:28:56.319 --> 01:28:59.960
make the college football playoffs this year. They will be one of the twelve

1165
01:29:00.119 --> 01:29:04.159
teams in the playoff. Well,
yes, that's no big deal. Then

1166
01:29:04.279 --> 01:29:10.319
it expands. Remember going to the
playoffs and Savior off their sun boll victory

1167
01:29:10.720 --> 01:29:15.199
is not playing football anymore? Can
Xavier win a basketball game away from home?

1168
01:29:15.079 --> 01:29:20.279
According to Dave Keaton a bolt right
there? That thirty four and seven

1169
01:29:20.439 --> 01:29:26.199
is the record of Xavier in Villanova
And according to Dave Keaton, last year

1170
01:29:26.680 --> 01:29:33.720
Xavier beat Villanova in Philadelphia. So
it's a regular event anymore. All I

1171
01:29:33.720 --> 01:29:36.600
can say is, oh, I
know is did didn't they lose? A

1172
01:29:36.640 --> 01:29:41.239
couple of days ago? Though?
I have another question for you, Rocky

1173
01:29:41.319 --> 01:29:45.600
to Villanova, which team in the
National League Central? I'm looking this up.

1174
01:29:45.640 --> 01:29:50.960
I mean they lost, They lost
by one missed a couple of a

1175
01:29:50.960 --> 01:29:57.039
couple of close shots would have made
blind fold. So what else? Did

1176
01:29:57.079 --> 01:30:00.880
you look up the score of the
Notre Dames women's bad minton team and we

1177
01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:08.239
lost the Grambling or something? Ohio
Wesleyan team lost to Ohio Wesleyan. Now,

1178
01:30:08.319 --> 01:30:12.319
Rocky who spent more money in the
offseason for free agents? Was it

1179
01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:16.000
the Reds or the Yankees? The
Yankees? Wrong? The Reds. The

1180
01:30:16.079 --> 01:30:20.560
Reds one hundred and fifty right,
one hundred and six million. The Yankees

1181
01:30:20.600 --> 01:30:27.159
spent a total of zero. How
about the Cubs? You know what,

1182
01:30:27.199 --> 01:30:33.159
they spent zero? Well for Cody
Bellinger, though the Reds spent more money

1183
01:30:33.239 --> 01:30:42.000
than the Cardinals, Load, Brewers, Cubs combined combined. Besalini is opening

1184
01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:45.960
up the checkbook to bring glory in
twenty twenty four to your Cincinnati Reds.

1185
01:30:46.119 --> 01:30:50.840
Where I think you can smoke pot
at the Great American Ballpark? Is that

1186
01:30:50.880 --> 01:30:55.680
true? Well, you can't have
payed pop smoking section. Yeah, along

1187
01:30:55.720 --> 01:30:58.760
with smoking section you go in there
at smoke pot. Yeah, there we

1188
01:30:58.800 --> 01:31:01.079
go, there we go. We'll
be here about that one. Well,

1189
01:31:01.239 --> 01:31:04.680
I'm just saying, just saying,
just saying, Okay, can the Reds

1190
01:31:04.720 --> 01:31:14.000
beat the Dodgers? Well, the
Dodgers spend one billion on two players.

1191
01:31:14.079 --> 01:31:19.000
Yeah, exactly one billion and a
total of one point one billion all told.

1192
01:31:19.039 --> 01:31:24.079
But they spent a little over a
billion on two players. And uh,

1193
01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:27.960
shall we say they're they're loaded for
action, which means they're not going

1194
01:31:28.039 --> 01:31:31.279
to do a damn thing. The
Reds are prepared for glory. Is prepared

1195
01:31:31.319 --> 01:31:36.399
for glory, as are prepared for
Notre Dame have a quarterback, Yes,

1196
01:31:36.600 --> 01:31:41.800
Riley Leonard is a former duke quarterback. We had to open up the old

1197
01:31:41.880 --> 01:31:45.399
check book game, like to talk
about that way a little check book had

1198
01:31:45.439 --> 01:31:49.800
to get Roley Leonard on campus.
He's there, exceptional athlete, exceptional quarterback.

1199
01:31:50.479 --> 01:31:53.960
It's going to lead us to the
Promised Land. One of the twelve

1200
01:31:54.039 --> 01:31:57.800
teams in the playoff boom, Well, what about Ohio State and Ryan Day?

1201
01:31:57.880 --> 01:32:00.800
My friends in Michigan, who I'm
tonight to win, by the way,

1202
01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:08.800
is under investigation according to Michigan because
of snooping and spying on Marylands.

1203
01:32:09.079 --> 01:32:13.920
I'm going up Tom weedman all the
way. I'm picking Michigan by ten tonight.

1204
01:32:14.000 --> 01:32:16.199
You heard well, Ryan Day,
coach the Buckeyes later this year.

1205
01:32:16.239 --> 01:32:21.600
Will it would it be ironic?
Would there be outrage if Jim Harball continues

1206
01:32:21.680 --> 01:32:28.760
to coach Michigan but is actually Ryan
Day who gets suspended? Yes? Chaos,

1207
01:32:28.840 --> 01:32:32.800
chaos, Wow, Capital City would
be a crisis at chaos. At

1208
01:32:32.920 --> 01:32:36.399
least Notre Dame should know they have
eleven players on defense. But that's a

1209
01:32:36.399 --> 01:32:44.479
different issue. You pass. I
never forget. I don't forget. I

1210
01:32:44.560 --> 01:32:49.000
don't forget. That's for sure.

was president in eighth teen ninety nine?

1237
01:35:00.359 --> 01:35:04.840
When the tennis tournament began in Cincinnati? I think at Coney Island? Who

That wasn't a taff was it? Nope?

1239
01:35:12.960 --> 01:35:15.920
Uh McKinley, McKinley, that's correct, Wait it go. Rock was

1240
01:35:16.000 --> 01:35:20.720

1243
01:35:27.680 --> 01:35:30.039
you know what that means? It
means they're like kind of busy right now.

1244
01:35:30.039 --> 01:35:33.399
It's like the sabbatico you've been on
for the past three and a half

1245
01:35:33.520 --> 01:35:38.079
weeks. A lot about sabbaticals.
Yeah, the guy a break. Yeah,

1246
01:35:38.119 --> 01:35:41.680
he's fighting for America. Maybe you're
on blue. Maybe you're on blue?

1247

Continue with sports. Let's see what
else will he Golf news, Tiger Woods

1249
01:35:50.239 --> 01:35:56.039
parting ways with Nike. U signed
with Nike after turning pro at age twenty.

1250
01:35:57.079 --> 01:36:00.600
While with the Nike brand for twenty
seven years, he made over five

1251
01:36:00.720 --> 01:36:06.479
hundred million dollars. That's boyman money
right there, real deal right there.

1252
01:36:06.760 --> 01:36:13.560
Arthur Smith out with the Falcons at
midnight, Washington. Let go Ron Rivera

1253
01:36:13.640 --> 01:36:17.359
Today. Who's next? Rock Bill
Belichick? Where does he go to stay?

1254
01:36:17.359 --> 01:36:23.640
Though? I mean he said they're
going to force him to. They're

1255
01:36:23.640 --> 01:36:27.039
going to force Craft to fire him. That's what he's gonna do. And

1256
01:36:27.079 --> 01:36:31.279
then he's gonna go wherever he wants. I'm gonna pick. I don't think

1257
01:36:31.319 --> 01:36:34.600
it'll be Washington Chargers. What about
the Chargers? Now, he's not a

1258
01:36:34.600 --> 01:36:41.199
West coast guy. Atlanta or Washington, that's who it'll be. Well,

1259
01:36:41.239 --> 01:36:44.840
we'll see what Washington is. Pretty
is a is a pretty nice destination.

1260
01:36:44.920 --> 01:36:46.840
And he got a rich owner,
he got a lot of cap space.

1261
01:36:46.920 --> 01:36:49.920
They got the I believe number two
overall picks, So they'll probably get you

1262
01:36:49.920 --> 01:36:55.960
out to get Drake may So.
Boom boom boom, Bill Belichick head coach,

1263
01:36:56.880 --> 01:37:00.720
Washington Commanders. Wow, we'll see
what you here. First we found

1264
01:37:00.720 --> 01:37:05.239
out if is it the horse or
the jockey. We found out it's the

1265
01:37:05.319 --> 01:37:10.600
horse. It is Brady, it's
not Belichick. Give me the horse,

1266
01:37:11.079 --> 01:37:14.600
get a jockey. You got a
great jockey and no horse. It means

1267
01:37:14.640 --> 01:37:16.760
you're gonna lose. If you got
a great horse and a bad jockey,

1268
01:37:16.960 --> 01:37:20.159
that doesn't mean you're gonna win or
lose. If you got a great horse

1269
01:37:20.239 --> 01:37:25.520
and a great jockey, got Brady
and Belichick, then you got six Super

1270
01:37:25.520 --> 01:37:29.279
Bowls. Brady leaves and gets a
seventh. It's the horse of the jockey.

1271
01:37:29.359 --> 01:37:31.560
Is it the chicken or the egg? It is really the horse and

1272
01:37:31.640 --> 01:37:34.560
the chicken, not the egg,
and not the jockey. You know what

1273
01:37:34.600 --> 01:37:38.640
I'm saying. Saved you get on
it. You can repeat that one more

1274
01:37:38.680 --> 01:37:45.000
time. I lost you when you
in the third Stanza. I've repeatedly about

1275
01:37:45.039 --> 01:37:48.640
this is it the horse or is
it the jockey? And he always says,

1276
01:37:48.680 --> 01:37:53.039
it's the horse. And give me
a good horse and an average jockey.

1277
01:37:53.199 --> 01:37:55.880
You can win the race. But
you've got a bad horse and a

1278
01:37:55.920 --> 01:38:00.399
good jockey. You can show,
but you can't. Players win games.

1279
01:38:00.399 --> 01:38:02.239
When you get the horse, and
you get the jockey, and you get

1280
01:38:02.239 --> 01:38:05.680
the trainer, and you get the
right diet and you get the right butte.

1281
01:38:05.800 --> 01:38:10.319
All of a sudden, you got
Secretariat. So now we know when

1282
01:38:10.319 --> 01:38:13.239
you get the horse, and you
get the jockey, you get the trainer,

1283
01:38:13.399 --> 01:38:15.199
you get the owner, you get
the butte, you get the diet.

1284
01:38:15.399 --> 01:38:19.199
That's when you get Secretariat without any
of those pieces. Give me the

1285
01:38:19.199 --> 01:38:23.520
horse. I can find a jockey, but you can't make a horse a

1286
01:38:23.520 --> 01:38:26.720
great horse. You can make a
jockey better. You can make a horse

1287
01:38:26.720 --> 01:38:30.680
a little bit better. But I
now know it was Brady and not Belichick.

1288
01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:33.399
You know what I'm saying. Sick, Yeah, I see, I

1289
01:38:33.680 --> 01:38:41.319
know where you're getting. Crystal explained
everything, and keep a bak Ramaswammi on

1290
01:38:41.359 --> 01:38:45.439
the board. Rocky's trying to get
him kicked off. Man, please continue.

1291
01:38:45.640 --> 01:38:49.359
I don't have anything else after that. Willie, along with Stephanie Dumas

1292
01:38:49.840 --> 01:38:54.399
and uh and release you Reese are
teeing it up against each other, and

1293
01:38:54.479 --> 01:38:59.039
Dumas and the County Commission had some
nasty things to say about Alisha Reese.

1294
01:38:59.319 --> 01:39:02.079
Just move right, so I'm not
voting for you all that. That's kind

1295
01:39:02.079 --> 01:39:04.520
of petty, isn't. I mean, she's gonna win anyways. They were

1296
01:39:04.600 --> 01:39:09.760
buddies symbolic well, I know maybe
they're not buddies. I know Chance Lucan

1297
01:39:10.720 --> 01:39:15.079
also known as Ike, should come
back and rule the city in the county.

1298
01:39:15.119 --> 01:39:18.720
That's what we need, the Supreme
tri State Allied Command, benevolent dictator

1299
01:39:18.920 --> 01:39:24.520
and Charlie Lucan to come back and
not at all Lucan can do. Gerald

1300
01:39:24.560 --> 01:39:29.560
Bradley would be Richard K. Jones. Can you see can you see Patton

1301
01:39:30.199 --> 01:39:36.359
Pearl handled? Pearl handled handguns and
silver helmets for those two writing down Ice

1302

seven to take Dieters back. Joe
Justice, Joe on the Prosecutor's office.

1303
01:39:45.319 --> 01:39:50.399
He doesn't talk to anybody, but
still no, he doesn't talk rocket.

1304
01:39:50.439 --> 01:39:56.399
What's on the total crap? Thank
you, Joe. What's on after three

1305
01:39:56.439 --> 01:40:00.840
o'clock with the Bengals season got Jason
Williams right at the gate at three.

1306
01:40:00.920 --> 01:40:03.319
We have Jay Ratliffe at three point
thirty talking about just that plane, the

1307
01:40:03.720 --> 01:40:08.640
airline plane off. That's one way
I've put his saying. Another way I'm

1308
01:40:08.640 --> 01:40:13.279
putting it is the whole freaking side
of the airplane boom busted out. But

1309
01:40:13.359 --> 01:40:15.680
you know what, only no one
died in it. Somebody's cell phone went

1310
01:40:15.960 --> 01:40:20.680
went flying out with the door.
Yeah. On the ground still worked.

1311
01:40:21.279 --> 01:40:25.199
Really, how about that? How
come when my phone falls off this dish

1312
01:40:25.279 --> 01:40:28.119
right here's about two and a half
feet off the ground, it shattered that.

1313
01:40:28.479 --> 01:40:30.840
That's what they said today. They
said, somebody's phone, the seat

1314
01:40:30.880 --> 01:40:33.439
and everything, and the phone went
out the door, out the out the

1315
01:40:33.479 --> 01:40:39.079
door. They found the phone and
it still worked. How about that?

1316
01:40:39.279 --> 01:40:43.760
No one's sitting at No one's sitting
at the window. No all, but

1317
01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:46.720
I'm taking an eye I always take
