All right, Bill Cunningham to Great American here we go again with storm chasers
in town. All health breaking, loose ale, thunderstorms, high winds,
and so much more. Avalanche's hurricanes. Everyone's in town. Many schools have
dismissed already at eleven thirty AM, some others in Kenton County and elementary school
is going to dismiss the twelve thirty many other schools letting individuals go home early.
Brian Hambric is in the middle of it all over prowling around northern Kentucky
looking for good video and a good story. And once again Brian Hamrick welcomed
again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Brian, how are you good? Thank
you again, mister Cunningham. This is one of those days we remember about
fifty years ago in nineteen seventy four when you were just a young lad that
terrible storms came through took out part of Madara, Saint Gertrude's Salor Park and
it was awful. It was terrible, And now everything is set up for
the same thing this afternoon. You're going to be covering that greatly. But
I wanted to get you on mainly what happened on Easter Sunday. Of course
it was Easter Sunday. It was also Transgender Awareness Day is declared by President
Biden, so to celebrate. You had a story at Channel five a day
or two ago about hundreds of youths in and around the banks that cost heavy
and I wanted to amplify what occurred and how skinny the city is when it
comes to policing. Kind of tell the American people what happened Easter Sunday night
into Monday morning. Yeah, I don't think it had anything to do with
the Transgender Awareness Day, but it was a group of teens. Now I
did hear this was orchestrated on social media, so apparently it was. There
was some forefought given to this, according to beliefe. But hundreds, literally
hundreds of teenagers, and we're talking from I get around the whole area,
and they're coming down to the banks. And when they get there, Uh,
there was no shortage of troublemakers down there. They had the fights breaking
out. Uh at least one person pulled where there were reports, but at
least one person who pulled a gun showed the weapon down there and then there
would be a fight and then that fight and break up, and then this
crowd would move and then uh it would be another fight. At one point
they end up in the moor Line loggerhouse uh and and apparently ransacked area and
there they go out of there. They're in behind the yardhouse over there.
So they're in this Banks area. Police are being called in from other parts
of the city and around District one to get down and try and you know,
make sure this doesn't get out of control. So uh they're they're down,
you know, basically just keeping an eye because nobody had been shot,
nobody had been hurt. They didn't you know, uh uh again have these
reports of weapons and all this sort of thing. So they're just trying to
get a grip and get this crowd under control. Roll at the Banks.
So now they decide they got to move this crowd, so they start moving
them northbound up one Rosa Parks, where another fight broke out and they try
to get them to the transit center. That's where they're trying to get them
and the hope is they get on the buses and go home. So that
was a strategy and that's what they spent most of Easter Sunday night doing you
know, Brian. Often these events take place, like on the two or
three attacks in and around Government Square and Fountain Square, there was video.
But I guess if something happens at ten or eleven PM on a Sunday night
early Monday morning, all the TV cameras, shall we say, five nine,
twelve nineteen, you guys and ladies have gone home. You can't get
the CCTV cameras out of the city except by an act of Congress and radio
mainly we're not in business. There's been little or no reporting of this at
all. And is that? Why is that the case? You would think
this would be a bigger story to warn individuals about what's happening. And I
got Sergeant Dan Hills coming up later talking about many times there's one or two
police cars. That's all there is to police the entire basin of the city
of Cincinnati, especially on the Easter Sunday night, And so why hasn't this
gotten more play? Well? I think this, I think this caught everybody
by surprise. I know most of the stations have a skeleton crew on Sunday
night, and generally on a Easter Sunday, it might even be center than
that. So I don't know if this wasn't picked up on the scanners or
how because it's something we generally go and shoot these sort of things, and
we did. This thing culminated at the end of the evening there was a
shooting up one fourteenth and Walnut, which they're looking to see if it's connected
or not. But all these teams were headed up Walnut, so it seems,
you know, very possible that this was connected to what was going on.
It happened afterwards, but yeah, you know, so I'm not exactly
sure we reported it, but a lot of what we had was from the
police radio traffic that came out as officers were tracking all this, and the
video we didn't have, so we don't have video of this. The video
I think exists, although when I was listening to the traffic this radio traffic
police sounds like the crime cameras went down or they weren't working when this happened.
I couldn't tell exactly from exactly what I heard, but at one point
I know I heard one of the disc factors say we don't have crime cameras,
we can't see what's going on, so they were relying on police audio.
So I don't know if there was a malfunction with those cameras, if
they weren't working beforehand, or if they went down for some reason during that
event, or what was going on with that. But so there may not
be that video you said. Trying to get that video, it can be
days or weeks before you get it. If you get it, if they
decide they want to let loose of it. That's another issue that drives me
crazy that we're not able to get, you know, video that I believe
belongs to the people. I think we are the people when we ask for
it. If it should be ours, it shouldn't be the governments to determine
who's the gatekeeper on this video. But that's the way it works right now,
and so that's always an issue. I think if everybody had that video,
I think everybody would have covered this thing. But without it, they're
like, what do we got? We got some scanner calls from police.
We went ahead and did it anywhere because we thought it was, you know,
pretty important to let people know the police were estimating you were down there,
that we're talking between three and four hundred juveniles down there. I mean,
that's a lot of kids running and then the other thing, I thought
there was a curfew. I can recall that the city and the Board of
Education has to curfew by ten o'clock you need to be gone. I would
assume yesterday was was an off day, spring break or whatever. So they
had a lot of independent study. There was a lot of kids had library
books with them from the library. They were very concerned and keeping up with
their studies. But yeah, isn't there a curfew at ten o'clock. I
think there's a ten o'clock curfew. This was just before that, so they
were trying to get out there so they didn't have to do I think they
didn't want to have you know, mads headaches with curfew violations, but there
were This happened kind of the sparks started at about eight point thirty. That's
when this started. They started getting more calls down there on Marrying and around
Small Park in that area, and that's when they started with this. I
think the crowd started to grab gather a little bit before that, but the
you know, the Reds game had just gotten out, what about four four
to thirty down there in the evening, and so there were all those you
know, kind of family crowds down there, and now you got this other
crowd. But the families all leave and now you know, you're left with
this crowd of teams too. You know, again, I'm not sure what
the motivation was for them to come down or why this social media you know,
call to go to the park, why that went out and police weren't
sure yesterday. I think it's important to let citizens in the tri State know
what areas to avoid, what area is not to go to. I'm still
it's amazing that Benjamin Addison, a twenty one year old u SEE student.
It's about a couple of days ago, about two o'clock in the morning,
thought his lights were on in his car. He goes outside and is murdered
up on Highland Avenue, and the u SEE is saying nothing about it.
It is a tragedy. I guess a couple of kids are trying to steal
his car. There's later on I have Dan Hills coming up talking about the
hundreds of vehicles that are stolen every year in the city, and then the
thousands of break ins that take place of cars windows are broken in, which
is a pain in the neck, but also it could be dangerous and Benjamin
Addison was simply wrong place, wrong time, as families destroyed. And you
and I have been around a while, do you think these activities are getting
better, getting worse? Are staying the same as far as ever and behavior
in and around the UC campings in the small park, Well, I think
we're seeing a lot of these. In fact, you know, city council
decided they needed to pass the wall that if you leave your gun in the
car you can get charged, you know, because a lot of these youth
that's where they're getting their guns. They're going into these cars. So I
think we're seeing a lot of these break in and that's the main thing they're
looking for. If they get a car they can steal, they'll take that
too, but they're really after the guns and that's the supply line. So
I think we're seeing a lot of that because of that activity. And I
don't know if it's harder forget them to get them, or if it's just
easier to steal these guns or or whatever, but that one reason I think
we're seeing it. It's gotten bad enough that the city council, you know,
decided they need to pass another wall against it. So it's gotten the
attention. You know of folks in city council as well, So I would
say, you know, without looking at the date off top the hand,
at least that kind of crime seems like it's gotten worse over the last couple
of years. And Brian Hamrick, you can say three to five hundred kids
teenagers show up at the same place around the same time. Except for social
media, it's not a case for someone at home or in their apartment building
says hey, I think I'll take a bus downtown on Easter Sunday night.
I just and just all of a sudden, three to five hundred kids show
up. Christian Morlane is probably fit to be tied for what happened to them.
They don't know what to do. And the other issue is you don't
have enough cops. Two or three cop cars show up, five cop cars
show up, and there's five hundred kids running around, massive fighting and guns
being displayed. Guess what. The cops are not going to make an a
rest. Because they do that, they become the target, right right,
That's exactly what I you know. I don't know that they can say that,
but I don't think you'd be too far off the base of assuming that
they could. I mean, they're going to try and de escalate. They're
not going to try and escalate the situation, you know. And if they
just started pulling you know, people out, you know, I think that
would have been you know, that could have been a lot worse. I
mean, you know, if you look at the way it all panned out,
it really went about as well as could be expected, you know,
considering the number of crowds and the number of police that were there. You
know, I think they got just you know, to a mostly peaceful resolution.
Nobody got hurt, nobody got killed, Nobody got shot that we know
of that the shots were fired by the way machine gun style of bullets being
rattled off from witnesses that we talked to up near fourteenth and Walnut. However,
it didn't appear that anybody got hit by those shots. And the other
thing I want to mention you were talking about, you know this this UC
student who comes out and checks on his car. Man, here's the thing.
You have got some of these these people who are committing these crimes that
do not care. And I mean this is a warning for for all u
s. I got three at UC right now, and I've told them the
same thing. Do not, you know, engage anybody if they're taking your
car, say Cy Andario say nothing. We've got video, and I don't
know that we were able to use it. Somebody was working on a special
report but showed me the video. I took the video to show to my
kids. Hopefully we can show it on the air. Sometimes I think the
case may still be in litigation. In this video and it shows a young
kid. This kid looked like he could have just got off the basketball court
at some local YMCA. Nice looking kid, doesn't look threatening, doesn't look
menacing, doesn't look he looks like a regular kid. You see him get
into this car. The view is from apparently the car's owner had a camera
and it's facing right at the kid. He gets in. You can see
him, you can see the passenger seat, nobody in there. He gets
in. He's looking for a way to get this car started. It looks
like and suddenly this calm, mild mannered, you know, schoolboy looking kid
sees somebody coming to the car window. He jumps out of the car with
pulls a gun, fires through the window with the person who just came in
to look and say hey, that's my car, fires at this person through
the window, continues to fire if that person now runs away, then gets
out of the car and chases after that person, firing the weapon all the
way. I don't know how that story ended. I don't know if the
guy got shot, get killed, I don't know what. But this this
person wasn't even well enough just to scare the person off. Their intent was
to hit this person with that gun fire. And it was very clear and
it was not a person that you know, if you're used to getting in
confrontations, this kid would not have, you know, concerned you about getting
into a confrontation with him. You'd have gone, okay, kid, get
out of the car. You know you're not stealing this one. Wow,
this kid had his gut food out so fast and firing off. It was
It was scary. Like I said, I took it home to show my
kids to say, look, this is why I'm saying, you see somebody
in your car, don't go over there and try and get them out or
say hey, say nothing, let them take the car, take whatever's in
it, you know, but it's pretty scary how fast this happened. I
don't know that there's any video or that we'll ever see what happened to this,
to this latest incident. But that's how fast this stuff can happen.
Now, you tell young folks, let them have it whatever it is.
As you can replace a Ford pickup, you can't replace a kid's life.
And Benjamin Addison is dead and uh there's no uh, no family life,
there's no parent, there's no father. Juvenile court today is a revolving door.
Judge Kerry bloom Hamny County Juvenile Court has a view about criminal justice that
means don't arrest, don't put him in jail. It only gets worse.
You're arrested, picked up, go to juvenile court, nothing happens, you're
released on our bond. Your case is CRD, no problem, No one's
locked up. And that's the world in which we live. But uh,
well, once again, Brian Hamrick, I know you're chasing storms this afternoon,
but the message to those in and around Clifton or anywhere in the Tri
State is let them have the property that can be replaced, but a human
life cannot. And Brian Hammrick wants you go ahead. Yeah, I know
that they are some of these folks and you might get one that gets scared
away. But I'm just saying that I've seen you know, video, we
see this kid, We've seen this happen and it's just not worth it.
It's just not worth you know. Whatever you have in there can be replaced,
including the car, and they may even get the car back. So
yeah, that's what I've told you that my boys who are all at U
see Sadam have it said, take off with it, don't worry about it,
We'll get it back. And the silence from you see is deafening.
Nothing zada nothing. Once again, Brian Hamrick, thank you for coming on
the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you again, mister Cunningham. Brian Hamrick.
The best there is the Power five. Let's continue with more coming up later
as more reports on the weather. Schools are closing throughout the Tri statee On
news radio seven hundred WULW, listening to a woman shop in the produce section
isn't funny? Yeah, a sail on cucumbers listening to a woman poot next
to the Grannie Smith's ooops is funny. Eddie and Rocky are also funny.
So when you think of an apple farter oops, think of Eddie Rocky,
Eddie and Rocky this afternoon at three one, seven hundred w Eldam if you
have uneven or sunken zybell at ACR, Gunny Pools and Spas. I know
the weather right now is not so good, but this summer is going to
be hotter than the hinges of Hell. Call today, swim this year ACR,
Gunny POOLSANSPAS dot com and so much more. Let's get into it.
You know, the great Americans been here for a long time speaking truth to
power. Some thirty years ago or so, President William Jefferson Clinton, Democrat
elected twice, by the way, never got fifty percent of the vote either
time, but nonetheless proposed, and it was widely accepted that we need one
hundred thousand more cops, that crime was and is rampant, and that many
cities were strapped at the at the treasury and they had no more money to
pay for more cops. So Bill Clinton and the great majority of Democrats and
Republicans in the House of the Senate passed a bill that funded, for a
five year period, one hundred thousand more cops. All one had to do
was apply, and the City of Cincinnati applied, and other municipalities applied,
deputy sheriffs, sheriff's office could apply, and one hundred thousand cops were hired.
And then five years later they were largely kept and more effort was made
because the Democratic approach was we need more cops, need more good judges,
need more jails, need more insane asylums, because right now we're in trouble.
Thank god, Cincinnati is about ten years behind other cities. But what
you just heard from Brian Hamrick is indicative of what's coming. Got a couple
of texts from friends of mine and it's not hot yet. And by the
way, school was more or less not in session on Easter Sunday night when
three to five hundred kids using social media decided to assemble downtown and shots fired.
Lots of fights broke broke out, businesses ransacked. Because it wasn't because
of the time day it happened, there wasn't much media coverage because the media
went home. How would you know what happened. And for those who may
have a racial angle, let me say this. The great majority of crimes
in the city of Cincinnati, or in the city of Dayton, or any
city are committed by young black males, while the great majority of young black
males want nothing to do with crime. If there was five hundred kids down
there acting up, fighting and ransacking businesses on Sunday night, five hundred,
that means just in the CPS system, there were twenty two thousand at home
doing something else. It's a small defined number that have nothing at home to
live for, no fathers, no academic achievement has ever demanded. Socially,
debaucherous behavior is the norm, and breaking into cars, which is perceived as
a parking ticket anymore, is not a big deal. We need more cops,
a lot more cops, a lot more jails, but most importantly,
we need judges willing to send individuals to jail for committing wrongful acts. It's
kind of like the broken windows theory. You deal with the small stuff and
the big stuff may not transpire, including the murder of that UC student,
and that that is sick and sad. But when I talk to those in
and around the police department, they will tell you that the new popular crime
is breaking into cars, breaking into win They're stealing cars and using them for
robberies or whatever, and shootings all over the city. It's bad it's terrible,
and it's not true that since downtown Cincinnati is safe, it is not
safe to go to a Reds game, the Bengals game, FC go to
the air and off. Yeah, to go to OTR for dinner and get
out before seven eight o'clock at night. Sure, it's fine, but I
don't want to see my city go down the route of Saint Louis, Portland
or Chicago, which is the course that we're on. More cops, more
jails, better judges, and dealing early with crime. We have a current
system in place in Hamiy County Juvenile Court with Judge Carry Bloom, a public
defender who does not want to lock up juveniles for almost anything. It's got
to be a murder or a rape, and even a rape doesn't get you
locked up. She had a case a couple of years ago, had Joe
dieters On talking about it, in which a seventeen year old boy raped a
fourteen year old. Now you would think that would be bound over to adult
court. No, she refused. And there's no power on earth that can
get that person bound over if the juvenile court judge says no. And so
the rapist was in the close proximity to the rape victim, because Judge Cary
Bloom thought that wasn't a problem. And so until we have the three legs
of the stool working in unison number one are good cops. Number two good
prosecutors, number three good judges. We need all three. If one leg
of the stool falls, the whole thing collapses. Right now, juvenile court
system in Hamley County is collapsed. He goes. The judges there do not
want to put juveniles in jail. It starts a process of the pipeline to
prison, which is a popular theme among liberal Marxist sources. As a younger
attorney, I spent decades in Hamley County Common Police Court and also in Room
May. Room Ay is the place where anywhere in Hamley County, from Springdale
to Loveland, to Sycamore Township, or to the city of Cincinnati, persons
arrested by the police would show up the next morning, and the cutoff was
four am to get on the docket, to have a bond set, and
the way you go. And if it was a serious crime, the bond
was set so high the criminal could not get out. That's called consequences.
Recently, but five or six months ago, had an occasion with a had
a friend in trouble. I don't practice law much anymore. I went back
to Room ay and at a nine am to get a bond set and I
walked in and I was shocked by what I saw. David Wood is the
long term Haminy County Assistant prosecutor that controls the dock in in Room Ay.
I walked up to David and said, Dave, what's going on? He
said, what do you mean? I said, it's ten to nine.
Where is everybody? He says, the way things are. If you see
camera shots of criminals walking up to get a bond set. Behind them,
there's a glass partition and you can see into the audience, there's like nobody
there. I said, where is every where? Is it? He said,
well, we don't have we don't have the business. We once did.
Talk to coppers, police officers. They tell you that we're not chasing
kids down out hallways anymore. I'm not chasing some kid in the alleyway.
I'm not going to be pulling over individuals and searching their car. I'm not
doing that. Coppers will tell you that they don't arrest large numbers of people
anymore for crime because their political leaders don't want it done. If you're in
the city of Cincinnati, the great majority of individuals put over for criminal violations
slash traffic offenses are African Americans, and they don't want to deal with it.
And the leadership in the black community gets angry when black folks are pulled
over for committing traffic violations which lead to something else, to something else,
to something else. So the reason cops are not pulling individuals over, that
doesn't mean crime isn't happening. Cops are not chasing individuals in and around streets
all la Steven Roach style. That's not happening anymore. And there's a sense
that there's no reason by police officers to arrest individuals because nothing happens. They're
out of jail before the paperwork is completed, because there's a sense there's only
about six or seven of the fourteen common Police court judges that are hard sentencers.
The great majority are not. They don't want to lock up individuals who
commit crime to keep them from committing more serious crime. Don't want to do
it. And so whenever you hear a politician say or a news commentator,
crime is down bs, crime is not down, arrest are down, sensing
is down. Reporting to the FBI that has national statistics is way down.
I shared with you the story. I'm going to share it again headline twenty
nine percent of US law enforcement agencies do not submit data to the FBI.
So whatever you hear about crime being down, watch listen to this. Major
police departments, including those in big cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago,
New York, and Boston, did not submit any data in twenty twenty one
to the FBI. NYPD said it couldn't submit summary statistics in twenty twenty two
or twenty twenty three because of a computer problem. And it's a problem,
by the way, in red and blue states. It's also a local issue.
If you're in a blue city in Florida, you do not want to
submit crime statistics if anyone gets arrested to the FBI because it makes your polical
leaders look bad. So crime is not down. Catching criminals is down,
arrest are down, sentencing is down, but crime is up. But you
can't get these facts and statistics from the mainstream media because they're invested in the
success of liberals and progressives. You'll not have this Cincinnati Inquiry do a story
on what happened Sunday night in downtown Cincinnati. I have the website up,
there's no reference to it at all. Where crimes committed absolutely burglary, B
and E assaults, weapons attempt at felonious assaults could have been one hundred charged.
But police aren't going to arrest because there's too much of a hassle.
And secondly, the media doesn't want to promote the idea that it's dangerous in
the city of Cincinnati certain times of the day and night. They simply don't
want to do it. So when you see students are shot, when there
are thousands and thousands of car breakings every year. When in Madisonville story in
the inquirrex months ago that there's twenty to thirty car break ins every weekend in
Madisonville, car break ins are like you used to be serious. Now it's
like a parking ticket. Nothing happens. Go down a room, a look
around and find a few people sitting in the seats and the dockets are done
by ten thirty eleven o'clock in the morning, when it used to go to
one o'clock. The police are not arresting criminals. That's why crime is down,
and the police don't want to do that because it's a hassle. They're
not supported their political leaders tell them, don't do it. And the cops,
thank god, are not going to put themselves at risk of a lifetime
scarlet a on their chest. They if the arrest goes wrong somehow, which
it often does, things go awry and split second manner, and so police
aren't arresting, judges are not sentencing, and prosecutors have a little work to
do. Prosecutors that at least we have a functional county prosecutor's office because of
Melissa Powers and Joe Eaters. They want to prosecute criminals, but they will
tell you that cops are not arresting criminals anymore. There's too much crime.
And by the way, Cincinnati cops could use another two or three hundred and
Charmaine McGuffey, the fine sheriff of Hamley County, will tell you that she
could use another fifty to one hundred corrections officers. Who wants to be a
cop in this environment to make fifty sixty thousand dollars a year as the correction
officer? Are you kidding me? Working odd shifts dealing with the criminal element
inside the jail, most of whom are been sentenced and are on their way
up north somewhere for long sentences. And other than that, the jail is
not particularly filled with criminals because police are not arresting criminals, and they don't
arrest because their political leadership tell them it's not required. We lived in a
time in the nineteen nineties when Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party wanted to treat
crack cocaine the same as powder cocaine. The Democratic Party is the one that
said, we need to treat them the same because our communities are being devastated.
So Democrats thirty some years ago talk like Donald Trump when it came to
the southern border in the crime I've played before the comments in their own words
of Barack Hussein Obama as a senator in twenty six and twenty oh seven,
we talked about shutting down the southern border. We have to get control of
immigration, we have to crack down on law breakers. That was Obama and
Biden, and since then, since they got into power, they know where
their bread is buttered, and they said, well, we're going to change
this around completely, and you might recall. In seven eighth, nine to
ten, Barack Houssein Obama said, we need to fundamentally transform America from this
to what? From this to that? I'm not sure what that would mean,
fund and only transforming. It's sick and it's Brian Combs. You're in
here. What's going on, Briank Combs, Mike right there. The National
Weather Service has been talking about these storms all day. We're starting to pick
up a lot more cancelations. Just got to know from the Hamilton County Parks
they are closing all their visitor centers, closing all the golf courses today for
the safety, they say of staff and guests, so effective immediately the park's
golf courses or visitor centers are shutting down. We've had a number of schools
start the process of sending kids home early. They don't want to get them
caught on the bus if the storms hit this afternoon and roll through as expected.
We've been watching a line of storms that have been approaching pretty quickly out
of the south and west. At this point, no weather watches or warnings
for the tri State, though that could change at any time. But yeah,
a lot of places are starting to close down early even write Patterson Air
Force Base today. The US Air Force is shutting down. They decided to
send people home two hours early just so that they don't have them stuck in
the buildings. If we get the kind of weather they're is it going to
happen? I want to know, is this real or is it memorized?
I think the next several hours were probably going to be Okay, we'll see
thunderstorms roll through, but it doesn't at this point look like things are going
to get to the severe level. If they roll through and the sun comes
back out now things heat up, and another round of storm hits, you
know, late this afternoon, early this evening, then we might have a
serious problem. Well, at this point nothing, but it's time to panic
because what you're saying, a little bit of flooding the concerns right now.
But the storm's coming up from the south and west. Don't appear to be
at the severe level yet, but be prepared. Yeah, I mean there's
warmer around here than it was when they moved through southern Indiana, So we'll
see. We'll see what happens. Plus, tonight's going to be a low.
Don't go to the golf course Hamilin County Arks closed. Can you play
by yourself anytime you want? All right now, lastly, I'm glad you're
here. Brian comes Benjamin Addison, same story. Have you heard from you
see yet? You know? I sent any email early this morning to the
media relations person public safety department asking if they have sent out any kind of
a warning or any kind of notice the students to be extra cautious, you
know, going to the cars, especially late at night, after what happened
to that Turpngrad who was a junior at UC He lived locally, was still
living at home, wasn't living on campus, but was visiting friends over the
weekend when this happened. And no, I have not heard an email or
response back from the University of Cincinnati yesterday. I've been watching their their public
safety page, been watching their their Facebook, their ex posts, anything like
that. The only thing I've been able to find on the Internet associated with
mister Addison is comments that have come from other people who wonder why there hasn't
been any attention given to this case by the university to call attention to what
happened to him and to warn others about the potential front killer page Ess went
down to it a friend or so. Yeah, he was spending the weekend
or at least I guess Saturday night Friday night with with buddies who go to
UC as well. And texted his mom and dad said, you know,
I'm not going to come home tonight and with my friends, going to stay
here. The dad was like, you know, if you need a ride,
we'll come get you. If he'd been out, you know, partying
on if he just turned twenty one, he said, no, I'm all
right, you know, I'm going to stay here. I love you Mom
and dad, see you tomorrow. Then that was the last contact they had.
Then they had the knock on the door. Yeah, it's awful,
it's awful. Well, Brian Combs, thank you. I know we'll be
on top of it at least through midnight and it's time to panic. All.
Let's continue with more and if a line becomes available five one, three,
seven, four, nine, seven thousand, I'm going to put a
call in the Sergeant Dan Hills, retired FOP, and I want to ask,
how do you find the murderers, the cold blooded killers who put Benjamin
Addison in his grave when there's seemingly a random act violence, and how do
you go about how does homicide go about to locate the killers? I bet
you a dollar to Krispy Kreme donut that the perpetrators had routinely broken the cars,
committed other crimes. Perhaps they were caught in juvenile court system does nothing
with perpetrators who commit felonies. Breaking into a car is a felony, and
they simply released them on or then cr the case and away you go.
Thousands of cars are broken into and hundreds of cars are stolen, and has
perceived today it's not big not a big deal at all. Twelve fifty five,

now. We continue to follow the weather which is happening all over the Tri

So we're going to scare the crap out of you, whether it's warranted
or not. But until then, we have Sergeant Dan Hills, retired since
Anti Police Division, the Sergeant Hills, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And Dan, how are you, Willie. I'm doing great and it's
good to be on again. I want to talk with you about the murder
of Benjamin Addison, twenty one years old. He's a librarian at U SEE.
He's one of the orientation counselors. He's a good kid. He's in
finance. Only son, a mother and a father, and the story about
the mother and the father when they got the knock on the door was just
heartbreaking. He was doing nothing wrong up on Highland Avenue by Channel twelve,
and he thought he'd lift his lights on in his car. I guess a
couple of young folks had broken into the car and the lights came on.
He thought, well, what's that did I leave money, goes outside and
within within a few seconds he's shot and killed in cold blood, but by
two murderers who simply wanted to take his property. And some have said I
talked to Brian Combs about this in the newsroom. It's going to be dropped
because there's so many shootings. There's going to be what three hundred and fifty
to four hundred people shot in the city of Cincinnati. There's going to be
seventy to ninety homicides throughout the tri State. There's more mayhem taking place.
Not the only localw has it But as a police officer, when you have
little or no cameras and it's happening at night, like at two am on
Saturday morning, a couple shots fired Benjamin Addison, his life means little to
the University of Cincinnati because they've issued no statements. There's requirements under federal law
that these college campuses must give warnings and must give updates. None of that's
happening because it happened off campus. So, as a police officer of some
thirty five years, how do you begin the process of finding murderers who have
done this? I would suggest repeatedly at least breaking into car stealing, because
Judge Kerry Bloom and Hamley County Juvenile Court does not consider it to be a
serious crime until it metastasizes to murder. How do you go about finding one
or two people at two o'clock in the morning who shot this Benjamin Addison,
this UC student. Well, Lily, we're really blessed here in Cincinnati,
and this has been for decades now. We have really high closure rates with
our homicide unit. We got great folks there. We got great, great
folks that work as criminalist in the city of Cincinnati, and that tradition has
survived, like I said, decades, and it's still good. So let's
start there. We got a crime scene, we go into a crime scene.
You know, back in my day it was all about fingerprints, but
nowadays it's fingerprints and there's DNA too, So we're looking for those things because
if somebody's in a data then maybe we can solve a crime easily. But
beyond that, and the way these things were often solved, I was never
in homicide, by to work downstairs from them in a place called personal crimes,
where we investigated rapes and crimes against kids, and I used to love
going up and watching the really best at interviews and some of the best in
the city where the older detectives that had been in homicide. And the way
that I often seen and heard tales of how the homicides were solved was often
getting information from others who had been arrested recently, maybe shortly after the homicide,
a week after the homicide, if it still hasn't been solved to that
point, because if the word gets about out on the street, then you
can have something hanging over somebody's head. And you know, Willie, you
know you and I are good buddies. But if you and I are both
facing some time in jail and you heard that I did something really serious and
you did something that's less serious, you might get tempted to give in your
give up your trend Dan to possibly to possibly get to skate on whatever it
is that Willy's been locked up for. And that's one of the ways that
I've saw them breakcases. Back in the day when I was in criminal investigation
section, and when I would hear about the homicide that when I was on
the street that I was one of the first responders to, we'd hear that,
you know, a couple of days later that something broke and the homicide
people were looking for so and so, and that was usually the information they
got from others. Let's call them bad guys right now. Bad guys do
bad things other than that, So you got a little DNA. I assume
there's no cameras available. If there is, i'd be great. I don't
say that, because Willie, everybody's got cameras. Now you got to doordace
cameras and all that stuff. You know, they still haven't solved, and
it's very sad they still insolved the case of the landscaper, right, and
what's that now that year year and a half or two years old, I'm
not sure, but they do have some video of that murder and thud uh
I think from people's ring doorbell cameras or something. So there are cameras all
over in the city, you know, my guess. Even though, like
I said, there's that sad case with the landscaper, and I think they're
still I think you're hopefully going to close in on the garbage man that was
was assassinated and and this one too. I'm gonna be hopeful because, like
I said, we got great homicide investigators in the city of Cincinnati, and
the case of the landscaper is definitely uh the rarity you know when sometimes when
bad guys are killing bad guys and nobody talks, maybe it never gets to
the point where we lock somebody up. But usually usually the innocent uh,
victims are are are those cases are solved. But then it's way too late
and will It's way too late for this fine young man's mom and dad.
It's way too late for anybody that is is relatively innocent that gets caught up
in this this this unbelieve aivable you know, conditions that we find our society
in. And and really I don't know this is you wanted to talk about
a homicide, but I want to talk about law and order in general,
because I think that's how we get to homicide. You know, we had
you know, kids running around downtown and Irishirly says we need to buy them
a movie theater. That was kind of funny. But uh, you know,
we ourselves, we got ourselves a problem. And the problem is nobody
wants to tell the truth anymore. That's a big problem in society, a
big problem in government. Nobody wants to say that, you know, the
most important government, the one that's most natural is the two parents household that
that that works. And without that, without these stable homes and these kids
running the streets and running their own lives, it makes it really difficult on
law enforcement, especially the micromanagement that law enforcements under nowadays, the Monday morning
quarterback that that the you know, the city and media others provide when officers
are out there against this. This title wave of of of kids was no
grounding because they didn't have any grounding at home. You know, a story
I believe I told before on the radio. I tell again, I can
tell it because my dad's been passed away for twenty five years. I don't
think I have to worry about and pull them up out of the ground and
prosecuting here whatever. But Green Township police one day took home my brother John
from from uh stealing out of cars up at Saint HUDs Bingo. They brought
they brought him home and they didn't charge him it into anything because they believed
that maybe that my dad could handle the situation. Willie, let me tell
you, my dad handled the situation. When my brother finally made it up
to the bedroom, there was blood, right, yeah. And Iris Rowley
wants movie theaters. Iris Rowlie, who's one of the leaders. She wants
movie theater. Give the kids something to do? How about bowling? Haven't
I seen the Star? Instead of providing them a stable home where there is
authority and where they learn respect and self respect, which my brother learned.
You know, I could tell you that he turned out to be a fine
man. He retired from the military. He still is a workingman down in
Florida. But he learned a lesson about respect and self respect that night that
these kids don't learn because if a policeman engages as these kids, by god,
if they have to use force or whatever, then Irish Roly, who
the city hired, just blows my mind. But the city hired Irish Roly,
She'll quickly flip back and start telling, uh, you know, everybody,
how terrible the police is. That she was able to make her name
and fame for years by condemning the police. So you know, our policemen
are caught in a uh, you know, they're caught in a no win
situation. They can't deal with these tidal wave of kids that come downtown and
oliver. They have trouble dealing with the break ins and all those things.
Maybe not every kid that's breaking into a car is prepared to kill somebody,
but eventually maybe some of them obviously get there right after a while. After
a while, if there are no standards, if there is no law,
if there is no borters of what you're allowed to do, if there's no
lines that you have to stay within, next thing, you know, you
have so much disrespect, not only disrespect for other people's stuff, you have
so much disrespect that you disrespect somebody else's life. And so now there's this
young man who was doing the right things, who was going to be a
helpful part of society. He's no longer with us, and so you see,
he has a terrible dilemma. Do they talk honestly about what's going up
there? Really? I sent my son up to U See, couldn't afford
to send him up to Oxford, So he went up to you see,
he was living on Ohio Avenue, and one night he called me, is
the day of the people? They were arguing outside. So I looked outside
and guess thing, next thing I know, there were shots fired in that
case. I don't think anybody was good at their their aim so much.
But still he ended up going out and talking to police and told him everything
that that that he'd seen, you know. And that's that that actually didn't
make me very happy, you know that I hear, I'm sending my son
up to college and letting him live up there around the other kids, and
he's in a little bit of danger because of the fact that people have so
much back to the disrespect and so much disrespect for each other that an argument
could turn into shots fired. That they have so much disrespect for one another
that they're going to take each other's stuff all the time, breaking the cars,
breaking the houses, and if somebody tries to stop them, they'll even
take away their life. And that's what happened here. Really, somebody took
away, took away this young man's life, and it's disgusting and I think
I think you See needs to come to grips with it. I think the
city of Cincinnati needs to come to grips with it. We need to start
hiring more. We had the lawmakers, counselmen and everything else that are going
to stand by the police and say, look, apparently, society, you're
not taking care of your kids. You don't have the stable environment that teaches
them right from wrong. So our police are going to go out there and
they're going to handle it, and we're going to back them. Even if
that arrest does look all peachy and kind, it doesn't matter because you put
our police in the situation where they have to be the mom the day had
and everything else, and we need our courts to back the police and and
good luck lock up these kids. Yeah, I know. Luck, we
haven't hit rock bottom. We're gonna have to hit rock It's gonna get worse.
And I had on Brian Hamrick about an hour ago and Sunday night,
Easter Sunday night, there was three to five hundred kids in Schmail Park,
shots fired, many fights breakout, Christian morline running into those businesses, eating
food off plates, turning over chairs and tables, and you've got three or
four cop cars show up saying we need help get down here. And you
can have three or four cop cars with three or four police officers with three
to five hundred kids. All they want to do is get them out of
there, don't care about the crime committed. And I would point out that
I had on iron iron Etta Wright, who's the superintendent of CPS, and
she said the majority of black males are chronically absent from school. And so
when you get to be twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old,
no consequences. You're raised by the street, by the culture, and by
the music. You look at life differently than someone black, white or otherwise
who grew up in Butler County or grew up in Boone County. Things are
different and there's no consequences. We have a Juvenile Court judge Carrie Bloom and
common Police Court judges otherwise who don't want to lock up these kids because it
sends the wrong message about incarceration instead of graduation. And when you have majority
of black kids not attending classes, especially as high schoolers. What happens when
you're thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, you're functionally illiterate, you flunk all your
tests running around the streets. What's going to happen when you're twenty three,
twenty four to twenty five. That's the issue. And until we address that
issue, this other stuff's not going to amount to hell of beans. Oh,
we know the answer. We know what happens in when they're twenty two
to twenty three. They're already hard to criminals, and they don't have any
respect for themselves as I was talking about before, or respect for others or
their property, and they end up in as a lifetime you know, client
of the system, in and out of jail, in and out of jail,
to the point where these dockets are so full the prosecutors can't really caltrate
them. Even the good judges are having trouble keeping people locked up because the
state doesn't have room to keep all the people locked up, and they definitely
don't have room down here in the Hamley County so again, until we get
politicians to start believing in law and order, we got a long way to
go. I hate to say it to a rock bottom. And I don't
even know what happened at rock bottom. I think I've seen maybe you can
tell me. I think I've seen a little bit of pro law and order
candidates speaking up from time to time in Detroit have many decades of the city
of the city being destroyed. Finally a couple of people are like a light
bulb coming on. Saint Louis is the other example of you know, rock
bottom or near rock bottom. And how many other cities are rushing to rock
bottom because they believe the whole you know, the fund, the police,
bunch of cred and and the Seattle scrap cred uh uh, Seattle, Portland
uh and so many others are are are rushing towards rock bottom. What happens
at rock bottom with our society? And and and how can a how can
a city like sincenat, say, Bible, who who's going to want to
go to dinner downtown? I've seen some of the video of of of of
these kids fighting. There was some stuff that had went on about a month
ago, and can imagine trying to walk down with the people's judge down the
sidewalk and all of a sudden there's there's thirty forty youth, uh, you
know, in a rolling fits fight and in front of you, and you
know, you don't know if their dext target might be you, and and
and the misses it's it's it's something that is is airing up the city financially.
Uh. And it's it's it's it's a it's a train wreck. And
and why the people city Cincinnati continue to vote the same democratic waves they over
and over again. And it's just it's it's darn near hopeless. And I
don't like using that word. Will Well, lastly, I would say this,
the face of crime in Cincinnati is largely a black face. But the
great majority of black kids have nothing to do with crime. And we're dealing
with the define number. Joe Dieter said, the numbers between five hundred and
one thousand out of tens of thousands, and so, but we are incapable
of building enough prisons or enough insane asylums for the homeless to how so that
society can advance. It's and I love when the politicians I'm watching MSNBC this
morning, so you don't have to Sergeant Dan Hills, and they have another
story about about crime. Crime is down, So I'm reading this other story
which will not get play. Politicians love to cite crime data. It's wrong.
Quote. Only seventy one percent of US law enforcement agencies submitted crime data
to the FBI in twenty twenty three. It goes on to say that large
cities have been taught politically do not submit crime data. Major police departments,
including Los Angeles, New York, and Boston did not submit any data in
twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two. NYPD said it couldn't submit summary statistics
because their computer did not mesh up with the nib RS certified computer that the
FBI has. And to go deeper into the story, it says oftentimes relying
on FBI data, which tends to be outdated and wrong, gives politicians the
opportunity to pat themselves on the back. So when Willie, what is it?
What's the quote about liars and statistic statisticians? Yeah, you're, you're,
You're going into a series of things that tells us that in the end,
all they got to do is come up with the statistics. Things are
good, things are people are They can they can they can see here,
feel and smell when things aren't good. And things aren't good in Cincinnati right
now. And you know all you have to do is talk to anybody that's
living an end of the neighborhoods that we've talked about. Our cars are constantly
getting broke into. Uh, they see fights on the street. To hear
gunfire right now, you talk about something that just makes you feel kind of
kind of ichy about your neighborhood when you're trying to lie imbed it. You
hear gunfire going on. Not good. That's not a talent, that's not
that's not good. It's like gun smoke. It's it's gun smoke. It's
like, oh my god. And the problem is Iris Rowley says, we
need to have downtown movie theaters and things for kids to do. Yeah,
that's what we need. We need absolutely up a lot of money, just
like just like that, just like that. It's just like that Petties guy
on Vine Street. He had all that money to put together a theater and
rent off with the dough. Well until family structure exists, or prosecutors and
judges lock up the define limited number of kids committing these crimes. It will
continue, Dan Hills. I know you're celebrating the fallout of Transgender Awareness Day,
which was on Easter Sunday, declared by the President. And maybe those
kids down to Smell Park Sunday night were all so celebrating Transgender Awareness Day.
Maybe that was the cause of the gunfire and the celebration. We'll see.
I don't think they were celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and saviors, so
maybe that's what they were celebrating, Transgender Awareness Day. That's what's going on,
all right, Sergeant Dan Hills. Thanks for your perspective. Let's do
it again. Thank you, you bet will. Let's continue with more five
one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand plus. We
continue to follow the weather. Can I say any more loudly? We need
more jails and more cops to lock up the offenders and to save society from
collapse. On news Radio seven hundreds WLW, I feel the brotherly love.

heard me continues two to one, blow ball and Field pretty well hit Merrickfield
going back. It is god a grand slam for Spencer Steer and the Reds
have busted and open here in the tenth they're on top, six to two.
No Grand Slam for Specer Steer. Let's hope that. Oh hello,
by I'm I'm broadcasting seguent to John Crooks say and the Phillies broadcast no Grand
slams for Spencer Steer. Next pitch, Bye bye, Loretta. It's amazing
how many times the announcer says he's not missed a free throw this year.
Boom Well, Dan Hicks at the huston an open Sunday, Scott Scheffler five
feet away, He's got it made. He hasn't missed. What happens?
Boom had had missed a five footer since he was fifteen. Happened here?
Hasn't it a grand slam his entire career correct pitch boom. Let's give credit
where credit is due, Willie, because a few years ago one Nick Krawl
was running the baseball team and he made that trade. He sent Tyler Malley,
who to THEE to the Minnesota Twins for one Spencer Steer Christian and Carnassi
on Strand and some other guy what bingo now haws that one worked out.
Tyler Maley hadn't pitched in a regular I mean, oh see, yeah,
he's hurt. He went to the Twins and it was like, okay,
and you're thinking, who's this Steer dude? Who's this guy with a kyphen
name? Never hit a home grand slam? Johnny Crook? Thank you?
Well, when you put one right there, you could hit that one out
of Citizens Bank Park last night? Are you thinking a sneak of fastball by
by one? The account was two and one. He had to throw a
strike and guess what he did and went and went over the fence and the
people went nuts. Now, secondly, your friends and the Biden administration still
celebrating, you know, Transgender Awareness Day along with fifty seven other we're still
celebrating. How insensitive are you. How insensitive? Are you? Sorry?
If you identify as a woman, do I have to call you? What?
Segi pew? I'm not sure, but according to the title area your
arena. Yeah, the Biden administration is now are you Wilma Wilma? Remember
one of my favorite TV shows of all time, Wilma? But segment yeah.
Biden administration wants to a men title nine to allow gender to identify men
to play as women. If you're identify as a female, that makes you
a female. Look down below? Are your male or female? I think
it looks like I'm a male, but I think I'm a female. So
according to Joe Biden, According to Joe Biden, if you're a male and
you identify as a female, you can play college sports starting July first,
I asked you a question. Yeah. God bless Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark.
It was good. For the first time in my life, I sat
down to watch a women's college basketball game, and that was good. I'm
glad it happened. I didn't care who won, but Caitlyn Clark scored forty
one points. What happens, according to Andy Furman, if Caitlyn Clark declares
for the NBA Draft or should we take it in the first round or the
second round? The only issue is Caitlin Clark for the NBA draft. Will
he the stood reporters approach service of a local tem Star Heating get air conditioning
dealers Temstar qually you could feel the beautiful Western Hills called derbt Heating and Cooling
at five one, three, five nine, eight four forty nine or go
to Dervit Heating and Cooling dot com segment. I'll say this and it may
cause controversy, which I hate to do. As you know. Yeah,
if you take the Deer Park High School undefeated boys state championship team of twenty
eighteen, yes, sir, and put Steve Gentry Junior or Mark Wise or
Demonti MacIntyre or Joe Hawker or Jalen Rose, any one of those five guys,
and say you guard Caitlin Clark. And by the way, these guys
did a dunk line, an alley oop dunk line in which they're dunking the
ball basketball, jumping out of the gym, running like a deer up and
up and about. OK, what would happen if that team teed it up
against Caitlin Clark and Iowa because Joe Biden wants it to happen. Probably be
no contest. How about an alley oop. Yeah, the answer is I
mean it's a problem, but I say this, it's great for women's sports,
right and leave it to leave it there, strap it. That's what
it is. But Joe Biden says men can play women's sports starting in July
in the NCAA Final Four, Willie is in Cleveland. They're gonna get great
ratings this weekend because you got NC State and thirty six and oh South Carolina
playing in the first game. Then the second game is Iowa and Yukon.
Iowa was there with Caitlin Clark. Gino rim Is there for the record twenty
third time in the final four. Impaulse yukon how many great players does that
guy had? All of them? Now, I have a text here from
I won't use his full name, but the first name is ed. I
do not believe that you watched the same game last night because that girl made
shots that were absolutely unbelievable. That's correct. Put someone six foot four on
her that jumps out of the gym. Guess what they're blocking her shots with
their armpits much less their hands and arms. They don't get but see and
I'll give you credit. Segment on this one. Jim Stall, the legendary
Purcell High School basketball Dave Minor knows all, Sycamore Athletic director told me Manda
man eyeball to eyeball, yeah, that the w NBA champions would beat a
good high school boys team. And I said, no way. But Jim
Stall, who knows all about basketball, Riker agrees with Ed. I disagree.

to win last night, Willy, of course, beating those fills, those
fighting phills and ten ining six to three. When Spencer Steer ripped that grand
slam by the way, he's never hit one off of Connor Brogdon, never
hit one. And let's see Andrew Abbott went into pitched into the sixth inning,
Alexis Diaz earned the win. How about that inning in two thirds with
two strikeouts and inn TJ and Tone fans Bryce Harper with two on to end
it tonight, Graham Ashcraft coming off that toat toe surgery in the off season,
you get choked up? Just talk face off against Spencer Turnbull. How
about this ed the landscaper says she was beyond the NBA three point line.
Now are you sure about that? Because the three point line was messed up
in Portland and was which is stupid. That is a that is a mark
against the NCAA right there that they can't get the right. I mean,
come on, I love women, right to like to love more women.
But women and men are different. But we're equal. We're equal, but
we're different. Say do you agree or disagree? Yes? Please continue the
Kelsey Chevrolet Extra ning show after the game. What about Patrick Kelsey? What
about him? Oh, he said he's in lovill. Houston wins for the
first time this season. Willie and Fine Fashion, Rodell Blanco tossing a no
hitter last night Astro's route to Toronto Blue Jay's ten nil. You know,
I saw Astro pitchers have a total of eleven no hitters in there. That's
a seventeenth no hitter in Astro history. That's pretty good, isn't it.
I would say, so, the Reds have had one perfect game. Yeah,
but I would assume many no hitters. That's correct. Well, he
got Johnny Vandermere back to back. He got h I've seen Tom Severs,
Tom Siver, he got a few. I mean, but ibout clop our
head. One perfect game from dearly departed Tom Browning, the great number thirty
two correct. Women's National Final semi finals. Willie now set Cleveland seven o'clock
on Friday thirty six, and oh South Carolina against NC State than at nine
o'clock, Iowa battles Yukon. Who do you like there? I like Iowa.
I love for Carolina's I think, And then who Iowa and Yukon?
Who you're talking about a clash of the Titans. It'd be interesting to see
ratings. I bet more Americans watched the women and the men. I would
say, so, can you name one player on North Carolina State men's team.
My point. I was thinking, that's my point. Let's see a
Cincinnati Bearcats are losing one player while get gaining another. Victor Lochin is off
to the transfer portal. Gizzl James is going to return for his sophomore season.
Who Gizzl James? What's that? He's a player on the Bearcats.
Oh, Kentucky Basketball's Reed Shepard has been tabbed the twenty twenty three to twenty
four National Association of broad Basketball Coaches National Freshman of the Year from the Cats.
How about this, but Bengals offensive lineman Cordell Volson getting a little get
a little up in the in the bank account. He is receiving the fourth
biggest pay pump via the NFL's performance based system. Volsan's gonna pocket nine hundred
and five thousand dollars and he gets extra pay for being the bengals full time
starting left guard. That system in the National Football League tabulates playing time compared
to salary and adjust on a player to player basis about that? What about
Joe Burrow? I think he's doing okay. Now, going back to basketball
stub Hub. Stub Hub the minimum ticket price for the five men's Final four
in Phoenix five hundred and seventy one dollars. If you want a ticket to
the final the Final four in Cleveland nine hundred and seventy dollars, I'd rather
watch it on TV. I'm doing what to tell you? See what else?
I think? That's about it. There's Sam Weish talking again. I
don't know what to tell you. But Cleveland's got the women's final four,
Willie, that's big. Didn't Cincinnati? Didn't we have the final four women's
at some point in the nineteen eighties. I believe so yeah, I think
so yeah. I vaguely remember going. I remember also remember the Davis Cup
came here to play. That happened. Yeah. They had some great events,
like the gardens, Cincinnati Gardens had some incredible events. Hockey Barn of
Bedlam. That's it should have been, should have cyclone? Should have ever
left there? Joe Biden, the Democrats want to ruin women's sports, and
I say, don't do it, leave it alone, leave it alone.
They don't want to. They just leave something alone. Can we let alone?
No? No, everything has to be politicized right now, right everything.
I'm tiring of politics. What about you me too, Give me out
of the student's report. Coming up next is Keith Faber, the state auditor,
about a billion dollars that has been located in the state offers. I
want to find out what what the hell's going on with Keith Faber finding a
billion dollars of your money? Segment? Now give me out of this.
Give it to me. You'd like to get a billion? When you?
Yeah? WILLI and unter a Spencer Steer in the Red Legs? How will
they win? Tonight? We leave you with the immortal words of the stew
report. Steer readies from Brogden. The pitch to the plate, rip high,
deep left field, and it's got some distance and it is out of
here. A grand slam for Spitzer Steer and the Reds have taken a six
two lead. Listen to them. Now, how do you like me?
Now? Oh my, oh my, A Spencer Steer got every bit of
it. As John Crook said on the Phillies broadcast, no grand slams for
Spencer Steer. Next pitch boom, yep. Well he said that. I
didn't hear it, but I said, when you say that, guess what
it's going. And it did. Segment thank you, I say, Keith,
women and women's sports, girls and girls' sports. Let boys be boys,
let men be men. But the Democrats want to obscure the lines and
put men in women's sports. Never the opposite works, by the way,
segment, thank you, yes, sir, Keith Favor. Coming up next.
That's your home of the Reds News Radio seven hundred WLW. Keep you
always saying, have a nice day. Just now the Great America. And
of course the weather here in ken Wood is dark and fore voting. But
if anything breaks out, we break in immediately with weather and kings of that
character. As we continue, Keith Fabor, the High State Auditor, Keith
Fabor, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all,
Keith, where are you now? What's the weather like where you are?
And are you frightened? I am not frightened. It takes a lot to
frighten me. I deal with bad guys all the time. I'm sitting in
my office in Columbus, Ohio. What's it look like out the window?
I'm sure you got a corner office. It is relatively sunny, but it's
getting quickly to be more and more overcast. Now we've got all help breaking
loose here in River City. But your office put out a press release that
more than one hundred and twenty four thousand people enrolled in Ohio's Medicaid program were
simultaneously enrolled in medicaid and other states, according to report issued by you,
the costing taxpayers, I guess about a billion dollars. First of all,
tell the American people, for those who may not know, what is Medicaid
well, Medicaid is the healthcare program for the poor. It's a program that's
subsidized by the federal government, but it's a state and federal program that both
contribute into. In Ohio, the ratio is between six and seventy thirty paid
for by the federal government. Effectively, this is how we provide healthcare keep
to the poor in Ohio. A big chunk of it goes to our senior
citizens and nursing homes and long term care. But it's the way we essentially
provide health care to those most in need in Ohio. How about about how
many Ohio wins are on Medicaid at this point, just a rough numbers.
It's several million in Ohio. One number I've heard is twenty twenty five percent
of the state's population. It goes up if you include kids and seniors at
past a certain age. And about how much do we pay each year for
the bills of the poor Medicaid ohioans? How much do we pay? About
it goes up, But it's it's roughly fifty percent of the state appropriation for
general revenue dollars goes to Medicaid. It's about twenty eight point five billion dollars,
just chump change among friends among friends, but that's half half of all
the money in taxes in Ohio goes to providing medical care to the poor.
Well roughly, Yeah, that's of general revenue fund dollars. I always say
it's about forty percent of this olden state budget because remember there's that state federal
match that comes in, and so when you run the numbers through that formula,
the state gets reimbursed for a little bit of that. But of general
revenue fund dollars, those are the dollars the state has discretionary money to spend.
You know, there are a lot of state pots of money that are
targeted and near marked to certain things like gas taxes can only go to roads
and other funds But when you take just the money that the state has discretion
on spending on anything in government, it makes up a pretty sizeable percentage that
goes right to medicaid. You take K twelve spending and Medicaid spending, and
you're pushing over eighty percent of every dollar the state has to spend, so
much like the federal government. If you take Social Security, federally, Medicare,
Medicaid, defense to department interest on the national debt, you're eighty percent
that number. Yeah, same thing in Ohio in a sense. Yep,
it used to be a joke running if you had prisons in What Ohio effectively
does is educate, medicate, and incarcerate. And that's pretty much what the
state does. Everything else we do, from the state parks to the roads,
the bridges, to higher patrol, all of that comes in a very
small percentage of state government, less than twenty percent on average. In many
cases it's less than ten percent when you include higher ed some other things in
there. So I kind of snicker when in Washington we're told that we borrow
about a trillion dollars of new money every one hundred days and that we got
to start cut federal spending, it's never cut. The rate of increase may
be adjusted, but I don't know how you Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,
defense, and interest on the national debt in Ohio. If you take
the schools, the prisons, and medicaid, that's kind of it. That's
is that close to ninety percent of the budget real tough when you talk about
spending if you don't or funding if you don't want to get into the to
the core items. It's real tough to reduce the size and scope of government,
either at the federal level or the state level. And that's what makes
budgeting all the more difficult when you talk about things on the margins. It's
great to talk about eliminating five hundred dollars hammers. I'm all for it.
No hammer ought to cost more than three fifty And I'm not talking three hundred
and fifty dollars. I'm talking three dollars and fifty cents. But the reality
is you need to go where the money are. I always say the fish
where the fish are, You hunt where the ducks are. And in this
regard, that's why we do audits in the Medicaid program. It is a
significant chunk of state spending. And when we find a program that is paying
Medicaid managed care providers more than a billion dollars over four years that arguably they
should have never been paid, we believe that's something that ought to be acted
on. Let's get into that. Because you have a press release of billion
dollars, one hundred and twenty four thousand people enrolled in multiple programs, please
explain sure. What we did was found that a number of people and more
than one hundred and twenty four thousand, just shive, one hundred twenty five
thousand people were enrolled in Medicaid in multiple states Ohio plus at least one other
state somewhere more rolled as many of eight as eight And while people probably are
not getting their medical bills paid multiple times by different states, what happens in
Ohio is we pay something called a Medicaid provider, a Medicaid managed care provider,
whether it's a care source or somebody else, to essentially manage Ohio's Medicaid
roles. So when Medicaid beneficiaries are people who are on Medicaid sign up a
Medicaid care organization an MCO essentially is managing their healthcare and the state pays that
Medicare provider, that managed care provider a per member, per month payment,
and so every one of these one hundred and twenty four thousand dollars have checks
being paid to MCOs every single months for people who likely are not having any
medical bills come through. So the real beneficiary of this money isn't the multiply
enrolled providers, although there was an argument that they are getting potentially benefits being
in Ohio that they would not get in other states, and we're starting to
look into that, but the real people who are making the money are Ohio's
Medicaid managed care organizations and candid leave. The state ought to do something about
it. Well. I had a family member about two weeks ago that went
to a large hospital all used the name Bethes the North, which is a
fine facility in northern Hambleton County. And normally you went to the er,
you would anticipate having some sort of a wait. This woman, this distant
family member of mine, was number thirty seven. It's like taking a number
at the butcher shop, number thirty seven. And we waited on and she
noticed that many many people there appeared to be shall we say not from the
United States of America, do we pay for illegal aliens to use our medical
system under medicaid programs? Well, the short ant is maybe. In theory,
no, if they're truly an illegal alien in Ohio, they're not supposed
to be eligible for medicaid. However, if they come in under the asylum
program and the Biden Office program, that just let them all in and we'll
sort them out later. Answer is some of those people maybe. And this
is one of the issues to why we've got to get a control on the
border. I took a group of sheriffs and prosecutors build down to the border
at the end of last year, and what we saw wasn't all of the
give ups and people that you see an eagle pass and some of the other
things that's essentially the diversion. There are places like Cochise County where I know
our good Sheriff Jones went down right before I did. We're seeing people who
don't want to get caught, and so we're having people that are coming across
the border to do harm in America. We're having people that are trafficking in
pittanhol that they're trafficking and human trafficking and one of the side effects of having
an open border and tens of millions of people. I think the last number
I heard was maybe as many as twelve million people come into the country just
under the Biden administration. Those people are coming in, they're overwhelming our healthcare
system, they're overwhelming education system, and frankly, we're also seeing other problems
everywhere all around Ohio. It is not just a border state problem. It
is an Ohio problem. And certainly we're going to see some of that in
our Medicaid system. If anyone shows up in an emergency room of a hospital
with an emergency medical condition, aren't they treated irrespective of whether they're covered by
Medicare or Medicaid. That is absolutely true. We have a system that for
emergency care in this country, you cannot be turned away. If you're going
to have a baby, you cannot be turned away. And essentially that goes
into what's called the charity care pot for all of the hospitals, and the
hospitals and medical community get some reimbursement from the federal government and from the Medicaid
system with regard to that, but essentially most of them will tell you they're
losing a lot of money on that system. Hey, have you thought almost
ever? I've done this for a long time and I often speak to individuals
hoarding position positions. You appear to know what you're talking about, and Keith
Favor, you appear to be interested in saving the taxpayer money. You appear
to be up on all the issues. Many might say, what do you
have a venture in mind two years to do something other than being the Ohio
State Auditor. What are your future plans? Well, we're looking at running
for Attorney General. Bill. I'm not secretive about that. That is not
a big kept secret. I'm term limited the state auditor. I love being
state auditor. I mean who wouldn't love a job where you get to arrest
and put people in jail who lies, steal and cheat the government money.
But the reality is is Ohio's termline existence is going to mean that I need
to think about my future, and right now we're looking seriously running for attorney
general. I think it's a job where we can make do good things and
keep on Highland safe. As far as recovering this money, how do you
recover money from a person that has no money? So when you talk about
a billion dollar peer of multiple coverage. How do you recover any of that
money? Well, the short answer is the state audit adjust what they're paying
the Medicaid care organizations. These are multi billion dollar corporations for the most part.
They should not be getting paid for people who are not eligible for benefits
in Ohio or that they are not reasonably going to have to have claims for.
But the bigger thing to do is to fix the way Medicaid does it.
Remember this is a second or third report for US on Medicaid. The
first one this happened right before the pandemic. The Department of Healthy Human Services
did a similar audit and found a similar problem, and they didn't adjust for
it. Hopefully they adjust for it now. Remember we've issued a couple of
other audits just on our watch on Medicaid. One of them was an audit
saying that people were ineligible beneficiaries that are actually having Medicaid claims paid. These
are real money going to providers for somebody who's ineligible for Medicaid. We found
that to be in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars as well.
Then we found a system to where a bunch of people were receiving Medicaid claims
that were either deceased or in jail. We found I think it was about
one hundred and eighteen million dollars of individuals who were in prison or deceased that
should have never been paid. It's real tough to one get a Medicaid claim
filed when you're dead. But I guess somebody's figured out how to make that
work and it wasn't for their last care and last expenses. And so those
are the kind of things we do in the Auditor's office. My problem is
is that the state Medicaid system is such a big bureaucracy, it is such
a poorly run computer system that it needs to get better. And I'm not
being critical of Mike de Wine here. I want to be clear on this.
This is a problem that's bigger than Mike DeWine. It's lasted longer than
Mike the Waine's big governor, and unfortunately it will be it will be there
for the next governor. It has to be a concerted effort across multiple branches
of government. But at some point we have to say to the bureaucracy and
the organizations, enough enough. We've got to get the system under control or
it could literally bankrupt Ohio. Well, it's bankrupt in the United States of
America, Medicare, Medicaid and the fraud. I can only imagine what it's
like the little state of Ohio. What about thirteen million ohio WANs exist.
That's maybe three and a half percent of the total population of the country.
Three percent. You can only imagine in blue cities and blue states, and
the bureaucracy in Washington, what happens to trillions of dollars of payments to Medicare.
Medicaid has got to be off the hook. It's got to be unbelievable.
It is absolutely unbelievable, and it is part of a much bigger national
debate. And look, I wasn't a big fan of expanding Obamacare, but
when you expanded the Obamacare the medicaid program of that, you had a whole
other group of segments and to effectively medicaid, and that has not had a
great, great result. But in the end, we've got to figure out
how to do a better government can and should do government better than it is,
and medicaid is not the shining example of how we ought to run the
rered Keith favor. Thank you very much. Good luck in your future ventures.
I'm glad that we have a competent person in charge of finding the taxpayer
money. At least you're doing your best to try to locate it and track
it down. I can only imagine in other state's how it happens. At
least we have more of a functioning state in Ohio than I see around the
country. Keith Faber, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill

there's not the fuel for it. But we have more on that in about
five or six minutes at your home of the Reds playing tonight. And I
said again after I skipped out on the Sunday Easter game. I quit listening
to the Reds in the ninth, bottom of the ninth, and I saw
it all the way through and h last night's game was unbelievable. I mean,
can you imagine the drama the first four games they've played this year,
they're three and one, and the one game they lost they should have won,
and several games they should have lost they won because of late, late
inning dramatics. So let's continue with more two twenty five Home of Your Reds

That's the title game right there. But South Carolina is thirty six,
and oh how about we're pretty good? Amen? So let's see what else.
The Bearcats are losing one player and going to regain another. Victor Lockin
has entered the transfer portal. Well, Gisel James is coming back for a
soft more season. Good. So other than that, there's really nothing else
going on. That's it in sports play. Last night's big win picking up
and Steer picking up the brand slam and the reds UH winning again in uh
dramatic dramatic fashioned as much like they did on Sunday. Even in the bottom
of the tenth inning when Harper was at the plate as the tying run,
tj Antone fanned the big boy and with two on to end it, David
Bell would have had many questions to answer of TJ and Tone, who's been
out for two years and looked terrible in the opener right blew that thing?
Oh, Lexis Diaz didn't look that good Saturday either, But but here in
the win last night went an inning in two thirds with two k's and they
also picked off two players. Where was that guy at second base thinking he
was going he was wondering loose. I mean, you know, he's probably
been sent to the minor leagues today. Of course, I'm getting reports out
of the Western Bowl on Glen Way Avenue. Wait a minute, that's hallowed
ground for bowlers. The hoinks, yeah, all the honks. But the
Reds game came on. They're bowling, got the TV monitors up. Came
on about six forty, right, and the Reds at that point were losing
two zip in a hurry. And I'm told by a knowledgeable source, Brian
Combs told by a knowledgeable source that when that transpired, they switched at seven
oh five from the Reds game to the women's semi final Elite eight game between
Iowa and and LSU. The assembled multitude at Western Bowl expressed profound dissatisfaction turning
off the Reds game to put on Christian He is what you call a veritable
crap, Marty. That's that's Reds fan. That's Red's country over there,
Willie Henke Classic Western Hills right there, that is Ed's country. That's close.
Don't you forget it. How about Ron's Roost, That's Red's country too,
very close right up the street at five minute drive. Correct and so
I'm wondering the old grizzled, hairy as men that were there. You can't.
You can't turn the reds off and turn them off. I mean,
you can't do even if they even if they don't win, or still get
down to the last out, the last strike like Sunday. Can't do it,
Jonathan, India, can't. I stopped listening right on Saturday. I'm
sorry, on Saturday a perfect example right there, And I said, an
hour and a half later I found out they want I had to go back
replay everything. I can't believe, Jonathan India also known as Pakistan. What
about it? What is it? Bat Well? That may be the bat
of the year right there so far? And then last night when things are
looking dark to zip abit doesn't have it? Sticks around into the sixth many
opportunities. The Phillies have a lineup Castellanas, Harper, et cetera. And
that man from Middletown, Kyle Schwarba that can hit it a mile. He's
not doing anything. Harper's not doing nothing either. Nothing. I don't think
he's got it. Does he have a hit? Ye? I don't know.
He's got nothing. Nothing And tj oh At least that's a round number,
correct TJ. And tone I'm having He couldn't locate the plate. Then
he finally did, just in time. If I was Darren Johnson, I
would I would tell I would call all the pitchers together, especially the relievers,
throw strikes, right, and then I'm saying, if you walk the
first guy, it's one hundred bucks. You're sitting next to me. If
you're if you're in the tomorrow night's game, you walk the next guy,
it's two hundred bucks. Don't paint. They give that money to the community
fund. Throw strikes. He'd probably have five trillion dollars in money for the
for the community fund if they could do it. You know one thing I
did when I pitched for Thomas Funeral Home in Burnett, Pontiac in Deer Park
Theater right zav University. Yeah, I threw, Yes you did. And
also at baseball heaven, don't forget that all right through strikes, go ahead
and beat me. I'm not going to beat myself. Correct TJ. Antone
was so pumped up he was beating himself. All he had to do was
put down one finger, throw it. What's one? The express two?
King Charles three knuckles four, screwball five, the slip pitch. There you
go. That's all you gotta do right there, and uh Sean get to
play the words. And then Luke Mayley last night got into the home play,
got into it with a homeplate umpire and what was going on there?
I guess he was mad about warm up pitchers or something and squeezing him,
squeezing him. Let's hear from John Crook Phillies broadcast fantastic comments, Spencer Steer
has never hit a grand slam. That's it unbelievable, Hendy Meca, don't
grat slap for touch Steer. Let's hope that continues. But two, one
ball, I feel pretty well and going back. Yeah, a rand slam
for Spencer Steer, and the Reds have busted and open here in the tenth
they're off top six to two. John, don't grant slaugh or Spencer Steer.
Let's hope that continuous. Well, how are we looking very good?
When the announcer says Scottie Scheffler has not missed a five foot fut correct since
he was fourteen years old? What happenedt open Sunday? Missed it? Missed
it? Excuse me free throw. It hadn't missed it. Free to get
that cough button this year. Correct when the announcer says this has never happened,
guess what it happens? Correct now. Thirdly, yeah, we touched
on this about an hour ago. Title nine, as you might recall,
fifty years ago, Yes, sought to equalize the funding, scholarship opportunities and
teams for women who play in college sports with men who play in college sports.
And then it was extended the high school, grade school, at elementary
school, whatever, graduate. It's got to be right now women are dominating
men. But most of the law students, most of the training physicians,
the architects, most of the judges, the power brokers are all now women.
So anyway, I regress last week your good friend Joe Biden. I'm
sure it wasn't him, because he don't know what he's doing. Somebody around
him said we must expand Title nine to include the term gender identity that means
segment. If you identify as a woman and you want to play high school
or college sports, guess what, then you can play high school college sports
as a woman on the girls team or a women's team. Because Joe Biden
wants to ruin college athletics for Kristen Clark, simple as that. Caitlyn her
too, and it's going to start July first, boy, so July first
at Caitlyn got more important problems in this country than that are going to have
Harry as men competing against them, because there'll be a large number of males
who will say, you know what, I'm not making it on the intermural
team. I want to play against Caitlyn. I want to play college sports
and make a bunch of money, get a scholarship. How do you stop
that from occurring? You begin by saying men and women are equal, but
we're different. And as a consequence, we need to have girls sports and
boys sports, and women's sports and men's sports, and the twains shall not
meet. But that's not good enough for Joe Biden, who wants to ruin
college athletics. And what happens seg Man down the road when some male tennis
player or some male golfer says, you know what, I'm not quite there
in my sport, but I'm going to play on the LPGA or I'm going
to play And how about soccer? Megan Pino thinks she would swimming swimming,
Oh, Leah Thomas, you know, you know, and I don't know,
Willie what well? You know how you know? Where is this going
to end up in the courts? But then the courts, I hope,
they say, and it's going to be the the this court, that court,
next court, next court, and then the Supreme Court. The supremes
decide everything correct, because we can't decide for ourselves correct how to conduct our
affairs. Therefore, let's and then when they when they choose, that's what
one one side of America gets, you know what, and the other ones
are happy. It's a case of the ass Yeah, no questions. So
seg I say, I don't know. I want Caitlyn Clark. Despite the
protestations of some, she will never be drafted by the n b A.
But the number one pick in the w n B A, I think of
the the Indiana Fever has the number one pick. They got the Fever,
take her, and then she'll have your great career in the n w n
B A. Well, the w n B A players, they'll get great
ratings. And look what they're doing already, what they accept Caitlin Clark,
who the w n BE a course, they make her mind out money.
Absolutely, they all making money only color they're making money. Now, how
much is she making off a state farm? Supposedly more than a million dollars
a year? Yeah, heck with that's the pro money. What about there?
They're making the dough Ray and the me. Now the w NBA top
salary for a rookie, it's one hundred and sixty thousand. She's making ten.
She makes that in one state farm commercial. What I'm saying, well,
what would the w NBA players accept her as she is? Yeah,
they have a choice. I don't think they have a choice, do they?
Answers? Yes, Yeah, I hope because it'll bring It'll bring a
lot of aliens and million you. In fact, the fever may sell out
the entire season correct before they even start playing. And what what happens when
she goes on the road, on the road again with Willie Nelson? Look
at it? Look at her now on the road. She's a stander lining
up outside of arenas. Now what's gonna be Oh, it's going to be
packed and stacked. What are the take a price? Is part of track
had don an hour ago? By the way, the Sparta track is now
a parking lot, that's correct. That's another issue. Don't get me started
on that. What are the ticket prices in Cleveland? Aren't they some ridiculous
number? You want a ticket? It's let's see stub hub for the women's
Final four, the whole thing is nine hundred and seventy dollars in climbing per
ticket. The men's for the Phoenix for Phoenix is five hundred and seventy one.
What so the women college I bet, I bet, I bet Caitlyn
Clark out drew the men's. We'll see they're on. Well, they'll get
the ratings out probably later on today or they probably are going to be announced.
I haven't seen it. But the women play Friday, correct, Sunday,
right, and the men play Saturday, and then one game Monday.
Correct. We're gonna have four consecutive days of the best college basketball that can
be done, and we'll see who wins, who loses. Let the people
decide. I'm willing to predict now that the highest rated game will be Caitlyn
Clark Iowa and Jean ri Ema. Millions will be watching that game. I'll
be watching, and they they'll be watching again Sunday. Yeah, if i'd
like to see against right South South Carolina, maybe thirty seven to zero against
Caitlin Clark. You're talking about action. That's three o'clock on Sunday. Correct,
South Carolina's pretty good, Yes they are. I don't care much for
their coach, but that's a different story. They got a good team,
got a good team, and we'll see what happens. Segment Continue to follow
