Jilly cunning in the Great Ameron. Of course, the Bengals, as I
predicted, has found the quarterback for the future, that being Jake Browning.
And they went into the weekend, shall we say, in a difficult position.
They come out of the weekend as a number six seed. They have
the toughest schedule remaining, but nonetheless with Jake Browning at the helm, who
knows what might happen? And once again, Moeger, Welcome to the Bill
Cunningham Show. Kind of give me the overview, then, I have many
specific questions to probe your mind. Give me the overview of what you saw
in the most exciting game played in quite a while, where the Vikings went
down because of Jake the Snake also known as Downtown Jake Browning. Give me
a live update. Well, absolutely, an incredible afternoon at pay Course Stadium.
Bill, This was I've I've been to maybe all but I don't know,
seven to eight Bengals games in that stadium. That is my favorite all
time one. The comeback, the atmosphere, the stakes, the story,
the repetitive comebacks, the officiating controversy, the number of times where it felt
like the Bengals were going to lose the game. What it meant, what
it could potentially vault the Bengals into that was terrific. This Jake Browning story
is the best thing we've had here in quite a while. That doesn't mean
he's a better quarterback than Joe Burrow or anything like that, but Joe Burrow's
success could be seen from a mile away. Now, maybe he didn't think
he was going to take the Bengals to the super Bowl in his second season,
but I mean you drafted him number one overall thinking he could do that.
Jake Browning, coming from practice squad, a guy who was just begging
for his opportunity, finally gets it and puts the Bengals on the doorstep of
the postseason. This is nothing short of remarkable, and it's a lot more
fun. You know. Three weeks ago, Bill I had folks telling me,
well, you should root for them to lose so they can increase their
draft positioning. This is a hell of a lot more fun than that.
And the other issue Jake Browning, one of the pundits said this morning,
monitor everything if I can simultaneously that the first four games of Jake Browning have
been the best four games at least since the Super Bowl era began in nineteen
sixty eight that any quarterback has ever had in the National Football League? Is
that correct? The four games that Jake Browning that the highest rating of any
quarterback ever to play the game. He is the first quarterback to go over
one thousand passing yards with a completion percentage of over seventy five percent in the
history of the NFL. No quarterback has ever done that. No quarterback has
ever done that. Think about that. That's you know, we're obviously spanning
a number of different eras and talking about Hall of famers and guys who have
gone to Pro Bowls. Nobody has ever done that. It's remarkable, and
it's happened in high stakes games, and it's happened in situations where he's had
no margin for a and it's happened as the results of him coming up big
in situations where it felt like the play was gonna break down. Heck I
thought on Saturday his most impressive moment came on an incompletion because t Higgins was
interfered with. The official didn't throw the flag, but to get the ball
down they required a superhuman effort by the quarterback. This guy has been remarkable,
and there were you know, as you often say, what is it?
Every failure is an orphans. Success has a thousand followers. Fathers.
Yes, the game the other night, the victory on Saturday afternoon, A
lot of people had a hand in that, but no one's bigger than Jake
Browning. And it's regardless of how this ends up, what a cool story.
This is what makes sports fun. I said this a few weeks ago,
you know, when they lost a Pittsburgh game, and I had people
telling me, well, it's better that they lose so they can get a
better draft pick. I go, you know, I'm a fan of interesting
I'm a fan of cool stories. I don't know how this is going to
end. The odds of the Bengals winning the championship were not in their favoriteck
the odds of them going to the playoffs are still not in their favor.
But this, coming from out of left field, something that nobody could have
foreseen, has been an absolute blast, and I think it validates the coaching
staff's faith in Jake Browning this entire time. You know, for years you
would hear, God, they really like this Jake Browning guy. Now you
see why I think it validates the idea that the Bengals have a great winning
culture, which for years you've wondered, Okay, is the winning culture just
Joe Burrow? Well, maybe not. And I think it validates the behind
the scenes coaching job by Zach Taylor in the offensive coaching staff to put Jake
Browning in a position where he could have almost instant success. I don't call
a lot of offensive plays, but they've changed the offense and they still don't
have much of a rushing attack. But when I look at what's being done
and accomplished, this is becoming a national story. And when you play someone
counts perhaps more than who you play, because when the Bengals went out to
San Francisco, everyone said, well, this is it, forty nine ers,
et cetera. And they played him at a time when the forty nine
ers had a lot of hurt players, and the Bengals beat the forty nine
ers and San Francis go. I'm not sure they could beat them right now
because they're rock and rolling. And when they played Pittsburgh the first time,
at one point Pittsburgh was six and three, and now Pittsburgh is seven and
seven and likely to be seven and eight. I don't know what the line
is. You probably know for Saturday, but I would assume it's a pick
them, or maybe the Bengals might be a small favorite. So they're playing
Pittsburgh at a time when Pittsburgh seems to stink, and they're gonna play I
think Kansas City at a time when they're nine and five presently, but they're
not the old Kansas City Chiefs. Then they come home against Cleveland, and
Cleveland should not have beaten Chicago, but they did. So it counts as
much how you're playing, how your opponent is playing, and they're gonna catch
the Steelers when they're down. What is the line Saturday? Do you know
yet? Cincinnati is a road favorite two and a half points, unbelievable.
Timing is a big Timing is a big part of life, Willy. I
mean, you know, just look at it from this perspective. I'm glad
the Bengals played the Buffalo Bills when they did, because if that team gets
in, oh boy, they're scary. As wide open as the conference is,
Timing is a big part of life. The Bengals did go to San
Francisco and played him with that Trent Williams and without Deebo Samuel and so you
can't you can't dismiss that. But you know, I think what's gonna be
interesting is as as great as Saturday's win was, as cool as the Jake
Browning story is. Boy, it came at a cost. You know,
Jamar Chase hurt his shoulder being called day to day, DJ Reader done for
the season. Dj Ivy got hurt in that game, and so you know,
you you wonder, as the injuries start to mount, what's this team
going to be able to do? But I mean, look, they've You
get an opportunity to go to Pittsburgh and play a team that offensively is totally
rudderless. You get a chance to go to Kansas City and play the Chiefs,
who did win yesterday, and that is a very tough place to play.
This doesn't feel like and statistically hasn't been the Chiefs offense that has helped
Kansas City build an AFC dynasty in recent years. And as awesome as story
as Joe Flacco has been in Cleveland, they were getting worked by the Chicago
Bears yesterday and then Chicago stopped covering Cleveland's tight end who knows what that game
going to mean, Willie, but you are not getting a murderer's role of
offenses either coming to your building or going on the road. The Bengals,
we said this two weeks ago, get these next two a home and put
yourself in a position to go to Pittsburgh with a chance to take a major
step toward the postseason. And they've accomplished that. And if they have to
go on the road and play somebody tough on the road, so be it.
They've been road warriors. I look at the Bengals division. The Browns
lost their quarterback. I'm not sure they even had one to begin with,
but they've lost their quarterback. The Steelers lost their quarterback. The Bengals lost
their quarterback, and we may have a better replacement. I know we may
disagree on that. I'm going to give you the Drew Bledsoe analogy in a
moment. And the only team in the division doing quite well look impregnable are
the Baltimore Ravens because they've not lost their quarterback. And right now, Lamar
Jackson is playing at an incredible Hall of certainly a Hall of fame down the
road if he gets the Super Bowl ring. But nonetheless MVP is talk between
him and maybe Christian whatever it might be. But discuss some of my tweets.
I know, you study my tweets and you keep them, of course,
and you look at them. And I always like to think history repeats
itself, whether it's military campaigns or a government whatever. But Drew Bledsoe had
signed a one hundred million dollar contract which in today's terms would be over two
hundred million with the then Boston Patriots New England Patriots, and he was taken
out of bounds I think by a Jets linebacker and they looked down. The
Belichick looked around and said, hey, what's your name again, Brady Tom
get in there. The rest is history. He marched that team because of
the tuck rule in the snow to the Super Bowl and beyond and Drew Bledsoe.
There was a big quarterback controversy the next summer. What do you do
now? And Bill Belichick said, I have a rule that if I have
a quarterback who takes this to a Super Bowl championship and is the MVP,
he's my starting quarterback. Ask you this question, mode, what if Jake
Browning takes the Bengals not just to the playoffs, but to the Super Bowl
and beyond and wins the Lombardi Trophy and hoist it. Do we have a
quarterback controversy next summer? Maybe? Sure? Yes, I mean, if
that were to be the scenario that would unfold, you know, it's not
that dissimilar to Phil Simms and Jeff Hosteller. So Phil Simms leads the Giants
to the Super Bowl in nineteen eighty six, is the MVP of that game
In nineteen ninety I think they had two losses at the point in which he
got hurt in the middle of December. Jeff Hostelller takes over and becomes the
starting quarterback the rest of the way, and they win the Super Bowl.
They go to San Francisco and upset the forty nine ers, who were fifteen
to one. They beat the Buffalo Bill Scott Norwood famously misses that kick in
Tampa January of nineteen ninety one. And then the subsequent off season with a
new head coach, quarterback controversy, Who's it going to be Phil Simms or
Jeff Hosteler. I think that would be immensely fun to entertain, But would
I would also say this, folks, have wondered, Okay, and you
put this on Twitter, do you trade Joe Burrow? Well, what's wrong
with having two quarterbacks? It's remarkable to me at every position in this sport
we value depth, right, We value depth until it comes time to talk
about a backup quarterback. Joe Burrow has now played parts of four seasons.
Two of them have ended with him being injured before the season has ended,
and one of them ended with him hobbling off the field at the end of
the Super Bowl. He's had a calf issue, he's had an appendix issue
on top of that, so he's had a hard time staying healthy. They
have invested way too much time and money in Joe Burrow to just blindly trade
him. And if you're gonna trade Joe Burrow, you're getting draft picks in
return, And a team that has a two hundred and seventy five million dollar
quarterback needs its draft picks. What's wrong with having two? You're gonna pay
Jake Browning next year next to nothing. Maybe somebody offers you a lot for
Jake Browning because he's cheap. That to me is the more likely scenario.
But I think they have invested way too much time and money and effort into
Joe Burrow being the face of the franchise. He is a top two or
three quarterback in this league when he's healthy. Hopefully next year he is healthy.
But what a fun scenario to explore all offseason if Jake Browning takes this
team to the Promised Land. How do you move on from a guy who
delivered the franchise its first ever Vince Lombardi Trophy. I'm gonna stop short of
saying that that's going to be the case and simply hope that Jay can beat
the Pittsburgh Steelers, win one more game after that, go into the postseason,
and have the Bengals playing with house money. But sure, while he's
doing this, let's start to talk about the future of both quarterbacks. I
am a bigger proponent of having both than I am trading one. Is there
a concern deep in the recesses of your id, super id, deepen the
recesses of your mind, just before you're not off to sleep at night,
that with Joe Burrow, we're looking at another great cook. No, but
no, because first of all, Greg Cooke didn't have it at his disposal.
The medical advancements that Joe Burrow can take advantage of and so no,
look, I do think it's fair. I don't know if I go with
injury prone because he's he suffered injuries. I don't know. I mean,
he's taken two pretty big hits. You know, it's fell down, he's
not clumbed. It's football, right, It's it's unfortunate, and and look,
the longer he plays, the more he's probably going to get hurt.
But I do I do think it's unfortunate that he has yet to have a
normal offseason. I think it's unfortunate that he has yet to have a normal
training camp and he's not going to have a normal offseason, and I don't
know if he's going to have a normal training camp next year, which does
heighten the importance of having a quality backup quarterback, which the Bengals have right
now. But I mean, look, in the two full seasons that Joe
Burrow has been able to play, he's put up MVP caliber numbers. He
was a finalist for the award last year. He's taken his team to consecutive
AFC Championship games. I love Jake Browning. I'm not going to overreact to
something that is a small sample size before we just discard a guy that four
months ago we were saying is the face of the franchise in all of Cincinnati
sports. And again, if you want to trade Joe Burrow, you have
to convince a team to send you picks. And if there's one thing a
team with a two hundred and seventy five million dollar quarterback needs, it's it's
draft picks. Well, I'll say this, if we if somebody had told
you a month or six weeks ago that Moe Egger, who tends to be
a serious individual unlike myself, which seriously maintain the idea of Joe Burrow losing
his starting job, that would have been an intifada, that would have been
impossible. But we're doing it MO because of how good Jake Browning is,
no doubt. And look, I mean what I liked. I liked the
idea of having a great quarterback room. I like the idea of having Let's
say there's a situation next season where maybe there's complications with the hand surgery that
he had, and you go, you know what, it might make sense
to not play Joe Burrow week one. Now you feel good about the guy
you can play number six. Let's go, It's the most important position in
all the sports. Why are we just going to disregard one for the other.
I want to have both, especially when you control what Jake Browning is
gonna make next year. He is an exclusive rights restricted free agent. He
can't hit free agency and go sig with whoever he wants. I am a
proponent of have as much death at the game's most important position. Is there
a better quarterback room in twenty twenty four than one that has Joe Burrow at
Jake Browning? Why would anybody in their right mind want to disrupt that?
By the way, some have suggested while you could you could get six or
seven first round picks, that's not how the league works. You're only allowed
to trade out draft picks for the upcoming draft and then two years after that.
So you can maybe get three first rounders, or if a team somehow
acquired another fir first round or they could send you more than three. You
can't trade out into the next decade. Let's see how the rest of the
season unfolds with Jake. Let's see how Joe Burrow's offseason evolves and continues,
and let's see where both ore when training camp begins. But I like the
idea of having both because it's the most important position in the entire sport.
They have invested a lot of money in Joe Burrow, they have invested a
lot of time in Jake Browning. I'd like to get the payoff to both.
I'll tell you what this is our exciting times. Who thought it was
possible and the end of December to have exciting times? But Joe Burrow once
again hurt mo Hager once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham
Show. And we'll save the status of the Xavior. You see crossdown shootout
for some other day. But at some point you see maybe able to win
two games in a row against Savior, but that's very unlikely. But Moger,
yeah, couldn't beat Dayton. I want to know this because I'm looking
at your Twitter feed. You follow two people. When do I get to
be the third? If you come in here and show me how to let
me follow you, I'll do it. I'm not sure how to do that,
I will. I'm waiting for you to follow me before I follow you.
All Right, we got a deal there, Moeger, thank you very
much. All right, Billy, Thanks, thank you. Let's continue.
There's Moeger talking about trading Joe Burrow on news radio seven hundred WLW. Mean
while in the entrented forest Hencil and Gretel, Wait a minute, where's Hencheldle?
Witch got him turned him into a stew, a stew. I told
him to stay away from the big boiling pot. How did you get away?
It was simple. I turned on Eddie and Rocky and the witch started
laughing so hard. I tossed her in a pie crossed and threw her in
the oven. Oh witch pie. It was delicious. Eddie and Rocky give
your day a fairy tale ending Eddie and Rocky this afternoon three on seven hundred
WLW. So you bought a gift for your mom, your neighbor, and
even your pet, But have you thought about getting a gift for your home
and keeping your family and guests healthy? Saturday in Pittsburgh, Mason Rudolph is
the starting quarterback for the Steelers, and oddly enough, I don't know how
many times the Bengals have been road favorites in Pittsburgh, but Saturday is going
to be one of them. And after that they go to Kansas City,
which might be difficult, but they're not the Kansas City Chiefs of yesteryear.
Then back home against Cleveland. Bengals have the worst schedule left of three games
all involved teams likely to be at least two of them in the playoffs,
and they have a tough schedule remaining. But with Jake browning, all things
are possible. This understudy was given a chance. And as Egger just told
you that he completes over seventy five percent of his passes to a depleted receiving
corps. Might add and has thrown for over one thousand yards in his first
four games, which has never happened before in the National Football League. And
I don't know, but whatever it is, it is, it's a good
thing. Joe Burrow signed that contract for two hundred and seventy five million dollars
because I think right now Mike Brown probably wouldn't offer him a contract. Number
One, you got to be able to play, And even though the injuries
he suffered he had nothing to do with it. I would imagine it was
put upon him, whether it's in Washington or the injury to his risk.
But nonetheless, you got to be able to play in football and he's not
capable of completing seasons. And at this point, who knows what the future
holds. But to keep Jake Browning one more year, which is a given,
they may have to offer a little more money, but that's it.
He's a restricted free agent. We'll see what happens. But as Moager just
said, there's no more valuable position of in all his sports than the quarterback
on a football team. And as a consequence, it appears the Bengals have
two good ones. One stays healthy, the other one cannot. So who
knows what the future holds. But when moe Egger goes down the alleyway of
discussing trading Joe Burrow, you know how serious it is. So we'll see
what happens. Coming up after one o'clock today will be Scott Powell about the
efforts of the Modern Democratic Party to get rid of emblems and statues and certificates
and investiges of the past. Much like in the nineteen sixties and seventies the
Chinese Communist Revolution, Malse Tongue made sure that everyone knew that certain symbols and
their society will not be acceptable. And you might recall the brigades rolled around
tearing down statues and hauling people out of houses and arresting individuals and firing and
beating individuals. That's what happened during the Cultural Revolution in communists Red China in
the nineteen sixties early nineteen seventies. And so I'm watching in my countrym his
statues being torn down legally and illegally because it doesn't fit what the modern left
wing, which is not your father's Democratic Party, wants to do. It's
truly unbelievable. So after one o'clock today we have Scott Powell to talk about
the Reconciliation Monument that the Biden administration has ordered taken down from Arlington, and
then after two o'clock today we'll be Sergeant Dan Hills. This is his last
day in office. And as you know, I kind of love doing exit
interviews of individuals who have been somewhat noteworthy in our community as they go out
the door to do like an exit interview. So Dan Hills will be here.
This is his last day as head of the Police Union. I think
he officially retired as a cop a year or two ago, but he stayed
on as head of the union and today is his last day, so I
want to do an exit interview with Dan Hills to talk about all the things
that might have been things of that character. Let's continue the Reconciliation monument.
For those who have been to Arlington, it's about thirty five foot tall.
It's a bronze statue with a woman on top, and in the base is
a biblical inscription, a little bit of history. As you may know,
in eighteen sixty five the Civil War ended. About fifty years later, there
were still literally tens of thousands of veterans still alive. They were in their
seventies, eighties, and nineties, but they got together and paid for privately
a reconciliation monument, which is about thirty two foot tall, representing the Confederacy
and the Union. And according to Arlington, the woman holds a loyal wreath
on top of this large monument that says, quote, they have beat their
swords into plowshares and their spears and the pruning hooks unquote, which is a
bit biblical verse. The idea is that put down your arms, reconcile,
and no more fighting, and take the weapons of war and make them used
for agrarian and agricultural purposes. And kind of a nice thought reconciliation coming together.
Also, you may recall that in twenty twenty in the summer this country
once again went through hundreds of American cities, police stations, burned down,
courthouses invaded, talk about the rule of law and the threat to democracy,
and it was covered for weeks and weeks and weeks, destroying large parts of
Minneapolis, for example, that have not come back and never will come back.
After the murder at George Floyd, it was used as an excuse to
loot and to rob and the pillage and a part of that. You might
recall that in twenty twenty, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are in charge.
They put together a group to look at the naming of bases and other symbols
that represented the Confederacy or racism in one sense or another. And the so
called Monument Removal Commission made a recommendation that this thirty two foot tall bronze pedestal,
which is I'm not much into the art world, but it was the
last work of this sculptor who it was his life's work. And it also
is the monument of the gravestone of Moses Ezekiel was on the list to get
rid of the monument because it made references to the Confederacy. Those on this
commission, put together by Nancy Pelosi were all left wing activists. So for
example, military bases like Fort Hood have all been changed because it referenced someone
some connection to the Confederacy. And this reconciliation beautiful facility is put there by
the veterans of the Civil War to commemorate they put down their arms and they
wanted to reconcile. So some including Scott Palell's going to be with us in
about twenty minutes, written stories about this that defend Arlington dot org is to
educate the broader public and raise funds to take action against the Secretary of Defense
in the US Army for recommending they're going to get at some point get a
tractor in a backo and destroy this monument of reconciliation, because that's not what
they're after, reconciliation, just the opposite. They're after conflict. So don't
get it, don't understand it. But the idea of taking your weapons of
war and making them for civilian purposes, which is what this monument is about,
is not in the keeping with those who want to destroy any historical references
to the Democrats in the past who ran the can Confederacy. And there's a
large number of Congressmen, Republican and Democrat, that said don't do it.
But nonetheless, either today, tomorrow or Wednesday, they want to get it
done. While Congress is out of session, they're going to take it down.
And so this caused me to reflect upon my country almost unrecognizable. You
might recall that in twenty seven, twenty eight, my gosh, that's been
like sixteen years ago, Barack Hussein Obama said he wanted to fundamentally transform America
quote unquote fundamentally transform America. I think he is succeeding because the only president
in over two hundred years not to leave Washington when his term expired, stuck
around Washington to keep an eye on things and to work the indictment and the
lawsuits against Donald Trump, his successor, and then to make sure that all
of his staff some two thousand strong, by all the levers of power in
the executive branch of government. No one believes that Joe Biden is controlling anything.
It's done by the Obama hangovers. That's why we have evs That's why
we have southern border problems. That's why we have to fund the police movements.
That's why we have prosecutors like George Gasson because those in charge during the
eight years of Obama fundamentally transform America have a lot of work to do,
and one of them is taken down monuments to reconciliation. So it's like,
hey, dude, what happened to my country? It's almost unrecognizable. The
greatest nation on earth is squabbling and a snake pit of bitterness and acrimony in
which wedge issues are constantly presented to have each side not come together as one
e plurbus unum, which means from many one but something completely different. And
the reconciliation monument is part of that. Tearing down law enforcement is part of
that. Having prosecutors selected by George Soros who don't prosecute crime. Crime might
be down because police aren't arresting people, and those who do get arrested get
out so quickly they seek out the witnesses against them and off those individuals.
Crime is down because so many prosecutors have decriminalized crime, not going to prosecute
anymore. Crime is down, Then the government local, not so much state,
but federally, is making war on the very liberties of speech, thought,
religion, and freedom it was created to defend. You might recall,
I know this is unique to someone under the age of thirty who went through
our indoctrination education system. Is that the Constitution says that God has given us
certain rights, and that governments are created among men to protect the rights given
to us from God. God is like defending us against those who want to
take away our rights of speech and thought, assembly, religion, whatever it
might be. Second Amendment. The purpose of our government is to unclutter the
path of our freedoms, so we can decide individually how to proceed, which
is unlike any country in the face of the earth. In every other country,
you have the rights given to you by government. Rights given by government
can be taken away by government, but rights given by God can't be taken
away by government. However, fundamentally, transform America was the goal, and
right now our justice system has become a blatant instrument of partisan injustice, in
which the leader of the opposition party is being sued for hundreds of millions of
dollars and democratic activist prosecutors all over the place want to put him in jail
or at least get him convicted before the election, so many Americans will not
for him, and then the entire weight of the Democratic political machine will come
down on top of Donald Trump. It's amazing to me that entire generations of
Americans are ignorant of the ideals that form this country as a beacon of light
and hope to the world. Because right now we think our rights come from
government, and we go to government to get rights. That's not the United
States of America, United States of America. What it is is God gives
us rights and government protects us from those who seek to take those away.
That's not the way Americans look at it today, just the opposite. And
so when Obama said fundamentally transform America, this is what he talked about.
What's happening today on the southern border. What's happening in our magnificent major American
cities near collapse with crime and poorly educational facilities and no job creation and just
a sense of hopelessness as cities are cleaned up when Chinese communists bosses come to
town, but not when Americans live their common lives, and so it's important
to have an education system that educates our kids about the country in which they
live, because that does not happen. And what's happened the last week or
two with Harvard is typical, typical. Not a person who's a liar and
a plagiarizer could run Harvard University. And when she says genocide kill the Jews,
depends on the context. You know, of course there's a way to
kill Jews that would not bother me. But genocide means the killing of Jews
in mass beheading the babies, rape and killing the women, setting the men
on fire. Now in the in the IVY League, it's all about context.
How did you say to kill the Jews? When you talk about genocide?
How quickly is it from the river to the sea. We're talking about
seven million Jews being thrown in gas chambers and brutalized and murdered. And that
passes for rhetoric by the president of Harvard University, who's a clown with a
capital K. But she's keeping her job. So how's this possible? I
began by saying large parts of America is not recognizable and it's only taken about
sixteen years to get to this point. And if next November we stick with
the same regime and we go another stretch of four to eight years past that,
we're all over the point in overturn. Because there's another one hundred million
who want to come into America through the southern border, one hundred million likely.
Now there's fifteen to twenty million here right now illegally, and that number
is going to sky row as the summer comes. And then if the Democrat,
it won't be Joe Biden, he's not capable of running. Probably Michelle
Obama, Gavin Newsom, some interchangeable drill bit will take over and keep open
the southern border, collapse our major cities, make sure that public education doesn't
work, dumb down the populace, and let's rule for a thousand years.
I didn't think this would happen in my country. But when Obama said,
and it never was quizzed on it, quote fundamentally transform America quote unquote,
Trump stopped it. And now it's going to continue at an accelerated pace if
the Democrat wins next November. So let's continue. So after one o'clock today
to heck with reconciliation, let's tear that down. Let's tear down the statues,
the monoliths, and the monuments of historical Americans. Many have done horrible
things, great majority have done good things. But nonetheless we need conflict to
raise mond dividing Cocker. We don't need reconciliation. The modern Democrat Party wants
conflict fundraising, hurting individuals. It's not about reconciliation, just the opposite.
So let's continue with more plus. As you know, the Bengals play on
Saturday, and then off to Kansas City the week after that, then back
home against the Brownies. Right now looking pretty good, so let's continue.

it's still a bestseller. And Scott Powell, first of all, welcome again
to the Bill Cunningham Show, and Scott, Merry Christmas and happy New Year,
Bill, and I'm Merry Christmas to you and all your audience. Let's
talk about another issue, that is Parko ltt it. You communicated with me
and I read Newsmax and other locations the Confederate Memorial to be removed from Arlington
Cemetery and I just spoke with you briefly off the air, there might be
some new developments in this. This comes from the party that created the Confederacy,
who honored the Confederacy, and when they lost the war, that being
the Democratic Party. After about twelve years of reconstruction, they struck a deal
in eighteen seventy six that all the federal troops would be removed so the Democratic
Party could once again create terrible circumstances for black folks in the South. And
so the last few years we've been hearing about somehow Donald Trump and Republicans are
a threat to democracy. It's really scary what they're going to do. Of
course, this comes at a time when gay sex is conducted inside the Heart
Senate Building by gay activists to record to put on a gay porn website,
when weird Christmas videos are being created dancing all over the White House like clowns,
and then this summer, transgender rights activist flash their new boobs on the
south line of the White House, and bags of cocaine have been located inside
the White House. And so this is the party that talks to us about
norms, but nonetheless give the American people an update on the Confederate Memorial that
the Biden administration wants to take away from Marlington. Well, first to comment
on what you've just said, Bill, it's true, but it's a result
of the woke revolution that we're undergoing. And the woke revolution was and is
a Marxist cultural revolution, and it's opened the floodgates of division, demoralization,
and destruction in such ways that reveal kind of a new sort of unrestricted warfare
against our country. And really what we've seen in the last three years is
the war against merit, against traditional family values, against respect for American heritage,
against election integrity, against law enforcement and the military, and clearly against
the borders of the United States doors to eight to nine million migrants. So
that's where we are. And now FBI Director Ray warns us that we're likely
to experience domestic terrorism from sleeper cells as a result of our open borders.
Guess, huh, how about that? But first of all, let's talk
about the Confederate Memorial. I've been to Arlington twice. It's moving. Every
great America should spend a day or two at Arlington. It's incredible, it's
unbelievable. I vaguely recall the Confederate Memorial. Tell the American people, what
is it? And Biden wants it down? Okay, well, it's a
sad chapter in American history when the Secretary of Defense now Lloyd Austin takes naked
action that is an affront to Congress and the separation of powers by running roughshod
over Amendment three sixty four of the Fiscal Year twenty twenty four Department of Defense
Authorization Bill that prohibits the use of funds for removal of any monument in Arlington
National Cemetery. The specific monument being threatened with removal, the Reconciliation Monument is
not only one of the most beautiful sculptures of its era, but it is
the one monument in Arlington that is aligned with the e clear of US Union.
That is, one people out of many, that makes America unique and
strong in relation to most other nations. Some people I've even called the Reconciliation
Monument the Christmas Monument because of the reconciliation that God achieved when he sent Christ
into the world to reconcile sinners with him and to reconcile people with each other.
In Christ, Christ that embodies reconciliation is the reason for Christmas So why
are they taking this monument down starting tomorrow, a week ahead of Christmas?
Why this is outrageous? Well, can it be stopped? I understand lawsuits
were filed and it's damn near impossible to get something out of a federal court.
But why is it objectionable to have a monument of reconciliation at Arlington which
was the ancestral home of Robert E. Lee that the Union Army decided to
start bearing They're dead there in eighteen sixty three, so that Lee could never
come back to his ancestral home. But why is the reconciliation monument and the
crosshairs of the Black Lives Matter crowd? Why, Well, it's because they
want to keep the racial war going in the United States. They want to
destroy our heritage, our history. This is part of the Marxist cultural revolution.
You can't explain it any other way. Why would you take down a
noble a noble monument that has something to teach us? As a matter of
fact, you know, former Secretary of Navy Jim Webb, and he was
a senator in Virginia, wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal a few
months back talking about making the case that the Reconciliation Monument should not be removed.
And he reminded in his article that he when he was a senator,
and this is after the Vietnam War, he was able to bring on.
Apparently, there were their government officials from North Vietnam and South Vietnam in Washington,
and he took them over to the Reconciliation Monument and he explained to them,
the North Vietnamese and the South Vietnamese, how the United States, which
had been divided over the Civil War, came to reconciliation, had come together,
had forgiven and reconciled with each other, and couldn't Vietnam do the same
thing. I mean. Then there have been you know, there have been
expatriots or ex pats who who have come back from serving in Iran rather in
Iraq, in Afghanistan, you know, with post traumatic syndrome to some extent
trauma that they faced. They've gone to that monument in Arlington and prayed it
at that monument and many of them have talked about how they were they were
healed. So this is a powerful monument. It has played such an important
role. It was you know, it was celebrated by every president after McKinley
right up through Obama. They laid reads at the foot of that monument on
every Memorial Day for one hundred, nearly one hundred years. Well, so
for those who know, you can only explain this by this woke revolution that
wants to keep us divided, wants us to be weak so that our enemies
can overrun us. They won't even have to fire a shot if we get
you know, if the demoralization continues, and it is demoralizing, and a
little bit of history is the statue was unveiled in nineteen fourteen. It features
a bronze woman crowned with outive leaves, standing on a thirty two foot tall
pedestal designed to ropper is that the American South. The woman holds a laurel
wreath, a plow stock, and a pruning hook with a biblical inscription out
our faith that says, quote they have beat their swords in the plowshares and
their spares and the pruning hooks quote unquote. It was the idea. And
that's the only monument to my knowledge that has a pat that has that quotes
a biblical scripture that's from Isaiah. So why are we tearing this down,
this is this is crazy well and it needs to be stopped. And let
me just let me just make an appeal to the audience. You can help.
I know what you feel, frustrated. You know what do I do
to save this country? Well, here's an opportunity. Go to defend Arlington
dot org. You can remember defend you can remember Arlington. Defend Arlington dot
org. Scroll down a little ways on the left side. You can read
all about the history of this. But you can find a place where you
can donate and bill. Even if a small portion of your audience would donate
ten dollars each, we could help defray these legal costs that we're fighting.
We've we've got We hope to have a preliminary injunction A filed tomorrow morning at
eight am before the cranes can move. I mean, the cranes are already
in Arlington Cemetery as we speak. Now they move them in today. Whatever
efforts are being used to take down the Reconciliation Monument ought to be used in
Eagle Pass, Texas, or go to Arizona to watch what's going on there.
We got serious, profound difficulties and the federal government is going to spend
some serious money getting rid of a thirty two foot tall bronze memorial to reconciliation
the South and the North, and somehow that ran a skance of the commission
put together by Barack Hussein Obama Alkalites. Because I'm sure Joe Biden has no
clue what's going on, and I think Secretary of Defense Austin off Alloyd Austin
often often knows, not though he's just doing the what the Marxist leninister telling
him to do. In the White House, they're running the executive branch.
There's two or three thousand members of the executive branch appointed by the President doing
all these things, and the President, the Vice President, I anticipate,
have no clue what's going on, especially Biden. But it's being run by
the most extreme wing of the Democratic Party, and somehow here it is the
Christmas season. It's all about reconciliation and sacrifice. Absolutely, it's a wonderful
time of year. This is the time here we should celebrate and not be
tearing down our history. Certainly not a reconciliation monument. This has gone to
be the This is going to be almost boring on demonic, actually well,
but you know what's been happening in addition to attrition and departure by many patriots
you know who crut their career short because military morale has become so low,
is that there's been promotion of less competent and lower character people into the officer
corps. Because, combined by the fact that old I'm a perch one hundred
and ninety seven quality patriotic generals and admirals over five years, our current military
leadership is probably at its lowest eb in the history of America. But we
think that if we can save this monument, it's going to be a turning
point for our country. We need to win somewhere because we need to win.
We need to win and diversity and inclusiveness and equity. I call it
Die Die promotes racism, sexism, anti semitism. It is a cancerous cell
that has infected our major institutions in this country, from Hollywood to late night
talk shows, to the movie theaters, to colleges and universities. And somehow,
when someone wants to be discriminatory, they want to be racist, they
say it's about diversity, inclusiveness, and equity, which is the exact opposite
of what's intended. So when as a monument that's more than one hundred years
old about reconciliation North in the South, it must be brought down because there
can be no reconciliation and we must be at each other's throats on a regular
basis. There's so little racism and sexism or homophobism in America today that we
had to create departments to making sure we can stamp out whatever liberals contend still
exist. But reconciliation means reconciliation coming back together, and that is not what
the Democrats want, Scott Powell, It's not what they want. Bill,
you said it very well. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to have to agree
with you on that. Actually I wish that we would come together as a
nation. But you know, in the enemy, we have an internal enemy.
Now we've transformed our culture and we face we face a challenge. But
people are waking up. I hope that the great work you're doing, Bill,
with your audience, I hope. I mean your audience is more awake
than probably any other audience in America. And I commend you for that.
And I would like to think that Secretary Area of Defense Austin is doing this
under orders, not because he wants to or not because he needs to,
because he must. He must do this. And this is received in the
national media little coverage, because, let's face it, it's if this was
put to a vote from the American people, eighty percent would say keep the
Reconciliation Monument. Of course, Bill, it would be higher than that.
You know, in the course of fighting this battle, we had two public
hearings and over one hundred people contributed, and you know what the results were.
There was only one person out of over one hundred in each one of
those two meetings that recommended removal of the monument. Over one hundred people in
each meeting said the monument should be left right where it is. It doesn't
belong anywhere else. It belongs in Arlington Seminary Cemetery because of it, because
of its great meaning. It's his story. And that was put together about
forty years forty five years after the Civil War concluded, and things were still
a bit ugly in nineteen thirteen, nineteen fourteen, nineteen fifteen, there were
still many veterans of the Civil War who sacrificed life and limb for the freedom
of African Americans and others, and this was a big deal of reconciliation,
coming together, shaking hands. There was re enactments later about the certain aspects
of what happened at Gettysburg and those lives, and being at the time said,
let's put together a monument of the reconciliation of the South and the North
e player of us unum. From many, there's one, which is the
opposite of the liberal Democrats today. From one there is many, but that's
the exact opposite of this great country. But Scott Powell, let's give it.
Give out the website again. Let's put out the clarion call and see
if we can have a small careering call. Bill. I can't thank you
enough. The website is defend Arlington dot org. You can remember, that's
easy. We're trying to defend right, defend Arlington the cemetery. Defend Arlington
dot org and scroll down on the left side you can read the history of
this whole thing with it. We've we've been working on this for you know,
for about a you know, well over a year to save this monument.
But we need help because the legal bills are very expensive and we're we're
going to take this all the way to the Supreme Court, because it will
leave this monument at this critical moment. If we can get this injunction,
this restraining order, that that it's a cease and desist, you cannot take
the monument down until this gets adjudicated in court. And there's no guarantees,
no, but we think we can prevail because the case is very strong.
Reconciliation. That is not a thought liberals enjoy whatsoever. It's about stigmatizing,
it's about dividing, it's about it's about anti Semitism and the colleges. It's
about convincing black folks that you don't have a chance because of white privilege and
all this other kind of crap. And as a consequence, were more divided
now than we've been at any point. I thought twenty eight when Obama was
elected the tears of joy expressed by Jesse Jackson at Grand Park on election night,
I thought, behind his eyeballs, he's saying, the gig is up.
All the fake racism claims are now done. I can't make a buck
anymore out of racism. That's what Jesse Jackson was thinking in the back of
his mind when Obama was elected, but because his policies failed, Obama has
spent the next twelve years, really fourteen years, dividing this country as much
as he can because there's benefits in the vision. There's no benefits in reconciliation.
Once again, defend Arlington dot Org, Scott Powell. Once again.
May I wish you and yours and merry Christmas in a happy new year.
Mary, Christmas to you, Bill, Thank you, God bless you.
Let's continue. The heart and soul of politics is not reconciliation. It's division,
name calling, stigmatizing your opponents, calling them every rotten, filthy,
dirty name in the book. That's how liberals, Marxist and the progressive left
makes its way through the world. There's no achievements whatsoever, and God help
us all if someone maintains reconciliation. Let's continue. Bill Cunningham on seven hundred

the question. What Joe Burrow done? Is the Bengals quarter Oh you're in
sane? What about take the snake Browning? What about him? Who is
the starting quarterback next year? If he wins the Super Bowl with the Bengals
and his name is downtown Jake brown In? What do you do? And
it's related to Tom Browning? Mister purfect? The National Football League has been
tracking quarterback stats since the nineteen fifty season. Fifties one quarterback in that time?
How many nineteen fifty there's been seven years? One? How many?
One quarterback in that time? One thousand plus yards passing, completed over seventy
five percent of his passes in his first four starts. I guess that's Joe
Burrow JB. We're talking about Jake the Snake Browning. Do you start Joe
over? Yes or no? Before Saturday seventeen to three rally, Willie,
the Bengals were four and one hundred and forty six. How many four and
one hundred and forty six when trailing by fourteen points or more after three quarters?
Not good? And Jake is Snake Browning? Who said to Minnesota he
dropped the F bomb on him. Sure did, and said should have never
cut me. Now you won't answer the question, will he the Stu Japorta's

Yeah, that's a guy that killed almost killed at receiver Pittman from the
Colts. Yeah, unbelievable. Get rid of them along with Joe Burrow.
I was talking to them a couple hours ago about this. Yeah, he
said they could get two or three first round draft picks for Joe Burrow.
He's messed up about as like you are. Let's see college basketball. Xavier
opens up Big East Conference play Wednesday at Saint John's. More to night on
The Sean Miller Show at seven on the Homer, Gary Sullivan fifty five KRC

Houston third. Kentucky up to ninth this week. What about Xavier? Don't
there's six and five Mohler Legendary coach Jerry Faust will be enshrined into the National
High School Football Hall of Fame in June of twenty twenty four. Deserves it.
Let's see what else? Oh, how about Bernard Longer in his son
Jason Won got the two shot winner in that PNC Championship over Orlando. What
about Tiger Tiger Woods and son Charlie wound up tied for fifth. So but
he chipped in, Hey did it was pretty good? Looked like you out
there. And also Willie. We want to say this. A gentleman passed
away December the thirteen, Steve Junker. But he was a great football player
at Elder High School and then your alma mater, Xavier in nineteen fifty seven
started Elder and then went on to attend Xavier on a football scholarship. I
inducted into the Xavier University Athletic Hall of Fame and awarded the Legion of Honor.
Selected to play in college All Star games against the NFL Champs, selected
in the fourth round of the NFL Draft that year by the Detroit Lions,
and multiple catches three touchdowns in the nineteen fifty seven playoff and championship games.
What he was considered for Rookie of the Year, losing out to the great
Jim Brown. What's his name? Steve Junker? Steve stephen N. Junker
passed away over the over the weekend, condolences and thoughts and prayers to his
family. But uh, what a what a career mister Junker had in football?
And really, if Xavior had kept their football program, they could beat
you seeing football too. Well, that's true because uh, you see is
not having a good couple of weeks, losing the shootout to Xavier and then
and then last night getting a Saturday night getting thumped non competitive downtown at the
Heritage Bank Center, and their renewal with the Dayton Flyers. I hope that.
I hope that rivalry kicks off again instead of just playing once and then
forgetting about it. I like to have series over Christmas between n k U,
right, you see, yeah, Xavier, yeah and Dayton not bad?
Well, you got what about Miami? They play every other year or
something in't they Okay? All right? How about NKU? Yeah, maybe
get Kentucky to play. What if the big blue NKU coach cal you see
and Xavier? Now would that be something? Yes, good luck on that
though theyink gon get that done. I don't think so. Holliday, call
it the Great American Holiday Tournament Holiday Classics. You're gonna have Kentucky play U
see, then NKU plays Xavier in the winners play the next n then you
know what. Then for the title, Wes Miller brings out the Tony Yates
offense, the four corners for the Cats. Again, the shot clock may
stop that. I don't know about that, not sure, but we'll say
about that. But you won't answer the question. What if Jake Browning related
to Tom Browning? Yeah, we're thirty two, take the Bengals to the
playoffs, to the super Bowl and wins it and hoist Lombardi Trophy. I
think in Las Vegas that's correct, if he hoisted trophy. Yeah, summer
camp opens. What the in July? Uh? Huh? Who's the starting
quarterback for the Bengals? Joe Burrow? You're gonna sit down the Super Bowl
MVP in his prime? What to get there first? They're a long way
away from that question. You're not answering the question. I just did.
What if he wins it? All? Bill Belichick said he had a rule
that if a backup quarterback wins the Super Bowl and is the MVP, he's
the starter. Well, when when does the last time a backup quarterback on
the New England Patriots won a Super Bowl? Tom Brady, I don't know,
you don't recall, no, well, recall the guy he took the
place of I don't know, Drew bledsoe memory was hurt. Here comes what's
your name again? Kid? Tom Brady? Get in there. See what
you can do. Kid. He's from that team up north. What happened?
Yeah? Great's what's he doing? Now? Yeah? What's he doing?
Where's it? Where's there? Tom Brady? Now? What about Nick
Foles in twenty seventeen? Did you forget about him? Yeah? Yeah,
you forgot? Yeah? All right, whatever happened to him. He's probably
doing TV somewhere on the NFL network. Oh wait a minute, now,
what's this thing? This came from nowhere? We changed in formats or something.
Oh? The weather outside? And right, Let me check the window
again, check it and see if we hang on. Let me check the
window. A blizzard? Is there a blizzard going on? Still? Let
it snow, Let it snow load, still going at it? Jesus,
Mary and Joseph. You can't see Montgomery Road from the building. I'm not
I can't even see the I can't even see the building now second life,
Yeah, super Bowl champ is sick of the average white guy commenting on football,
and then he said, this is now what Sergeant Dan Hill's good friend,
Rishard Mendenhall, super Bowl champ Pittsburgh wants to have a racial Bowl game
in which white people cannot come in. He's a product of our education system.
You know what I'm saying. We just end this stuff. No,
too many people benefit from it. A lot of money to be made.
I guess, claims of racial problems. Until you're not paying him off,
it'll continue. Listen, you gotta hold on Dan until you come on at
two o six. He wants to watch. He wants to watch unbelievable.
He would you care to come? You won't answer my question about Joe Burrow
I already did. Does he start? Oh? Yes, Jake the Snake
Browning. If Jake the Snake Browning gets there, if he wins the super
Bowl, and the snake will probably go. But if he doesn't, he
see some equivocation. It's number nine all the way with Ted McKay. I'm
thinking number six. You gotta another quarterback making two hundred and seventy five million
dollars a season. You're gonna sit him on the sideline. Trade him for
some draft picks. Trade them, trade you, trade them, trade them,
get rid of them. What's he done anyway? What do they need?
What do they need another? Let's get another quarterback in here. Well,
Jake's pretty good. Yes, I don't know. Maybe he is number
thirty two. He's not a big fan of the Vikings, so he dropped,
you know what? That's that was rough though. They left him sit
in a hotel room and didn't even call explain what happened. Well, I
guess, I guess. I guess he got up there and they tried him
out or whatever, and he never got a call to from the team.
He's still waiting in his hotel room, still waiting. But he certainly told
everybody on the sidelines what they were going to do. He should have They
should have never cut me in the last seventy years. Who's the number one
quarterback of all time? First four games as a starter YEP, yards thrown,
quarterback rating YEP and completion percentage above seventy five. Joe Montana, Terry
Bradshaw, Kenny Anderson, Joe Burrow. Line them all up. Who's number
one? Jake Browning And you're gonna send him down? Is that what you're
telling me? I'm just saying you're gonna tell me you're not gonna play him?
Are you kidding me? I'm just saying you wanted an answer to the
question. I'm giving it to you. It's not the answer you want,
That's the thing. The thing is, he better be awfully pleased that he
signed that deal before he kept getting hurt. Joe Burrow gets hurt all the
time. What I got, what I want to know is the Bengal's going
to sign him to a deal deal and keep him well next year. He's
under Bengal control. I'm just saying restricted free agent, yes, Joe.
Dave Lapham says yes. No, that means fifth th Bank is coming to
town. No, how much money does Mike Mike Brown is the richest guy
in the Tri States. He's worth next to you three on Barrett. I
don't know about I think between him and Barrett, I don't know who to
taken that matchup. Just throw down some hundred dollars bills and see who stops
first. I might be going with Mike Brown. The team's a worth about
three to four billion dollars. I'm talking Oh, how much is Western Southern
worth? Two to three quadrillion dollars? Okay, I don't know what that
is. It's a lot of money though, Yeah, we don't have to
worry. But you refuse to answer the question. I'm pleading the fifth because
of police officers in the room. He's probably armed. He shoot you in
the head. But we got Rashardon Mendenhall saying the only only black commentators would
comment on. By the way, what is the percent traracial movement of the
audience? But this guy's the product of our education system. He wants to
have a racial Bowl game in which is no white people commenting. I don't
know what to tell you. I'm staying away from that one. I'm more
worried about who's going to start next year. If the Bengals say it,
if the Bengals do it, all say it, then well it's up to
Zach Taylor say it. I'm not gonna say it. I'll say it,
Okay, go ahead. Jake Browning is the future of the Bengals and he's
the starting quarterback and Joe Burrow needs to earn the job back. Good boy,
why don't you answer the question. I think you're in the middle of
a snow squall in your mind. Unbelievable what's happening outside? I know,
so I don't know what I got. I got nothing else? Ain't that's
the truth? I say, get me out of the stud's report. We
have an important guest coming up after two o'clock, Willy and Utter of who
Dai Nation and the Bengals three in a row and headed to the playoffs,
Jake Browning. If, by the way, if Jake Browning had started the
first four games, they'd already be in the playoffs. At Cleveland win home
against Baltimore. Ye win? Now, what do you say? We leave
you with the immortal words of the stud report? That is what the things
that I fear in life? And aggressive pigeons, mimes, monkeys and aggressive
pigeons. Mimes, monkeys and aggressive pigeons. You learned a lot of stuff
during those Bengal broadcasts. What do you say about that? Do eat his
own? I guess what do you do? Are there three things that scare
you? I know? Heights, snakes and water and snow? Snow?
I don't mind snow. You have a phobia about snow sometimes being on this
show. Yeah, you fear, you fear the truth? Yeah, because
you can't handle the truth. That's true. I'm not a serious person,
am I. I'll say this. I love you dearly, say, but
you're not a serious person. Okay, they're kind of a frivolous clown.
Thank you. You know what I'm saying. That's what I try to be.
You're not a serious person. Okay. I'm not only on with Mike
McConnell in the morning. Are you serious with him? Of course? But
not with EBN, not with kid. No, that's Chris. That's insane
over there. No respect, No Hona, there is no Hona. Mom
thieves in the fifth place? Thank you, Dusty Hain't that the truth?
That's for sure? Segment? Thank you, Yes, sir. Coming up
next will be the Great Sergeant Dan Hills. His last day in charge of
the police has arrived at midnight. He hands over power to someone else and
a sacred ceremony deep in the basement of Lodge sixty nine on Central Parkway.
There's not going to be an insurrection on Central Parkway, is there? Dan
Hill says, yes, they're going to seize power. Eight oh one plumps
the street and yeah, for a thousand years. That's what we need is
a coup d'eta. We need a racial Chazz back in there. Put jazz,
good chazz, Get Chazz back in there. I'd like to have Charmaine
McGuffey tee it up against Chief Thiji, get the forces together and then see
what happens. Who's going to control Moonlight Gardens? Who's going to control Sunlight
Pool? Let's get Fiji v McGuffey and see what happens. Because I think
some members of Council think that they can seize power at Coney Island, and
some they may want to know where the boundaries are first. Some may be
aware that on Saturday night there was members of city Council at Kenwood Country Club
looking around. They're looking to well, they probably went tickets to next year's
LPGA event. It won't be one there, okay. But nonetheless they're thinking,
you know what, this looks pretty nice. Why don't we get a
hold of Fiji annexed? Now? Wouldn't that be something that's for sure?
Coming up next to the life and time you'd moved to Elsmere back, I
mean back to our Langer correct there too? Coming up next to the former
head of the police union, Dan Hills. He's got got about to ten
hours to go, and then he's done, d U N N done on
news Radio seven hundred. That was you LW the Claremont County Veterans Service Commission.
Wish the old girls see. I'm hit. I'm bad of the bowl,
Bad of the Bowl, Bad the Bowl. Several weeks ago I spoke
to Sergeant Dan Hills of CPD about doing an exit interview. We kind of
agreed to do it today because you only have about four hours remaining and then
you'll hand over power and a secret ceremony in the basement of Lodge sixty nine
on on Central Parkway. Sergeant Dan, welcome. I think for the first
time in the studio. Am I right or wrong? I think? I
think we did this once before, but it was several years ago. All
right, let's talk about it. Why it's time come, you're leaving.
I give the American people the reason that Dan Hills is leaving CPD and the
Union. Well, well, I love CPD because I came to the end
of my drop. That's one of those acronyms. Every things an acronym NOWADAY
for retirement option plan. You can only do eight years. I finished that
in May of twenty two last year. So I left a Department. So
I'm the first person to serve in the presidency as a retired person for any
amount of time. It doesn't pay so much to service in your retirement,
but I agree to finish out a term, and that term ends in December.
But I've been the president now for eight years, as the longest she
can be a US president, so that should probably be the longest be the
FOP president. Who's going to take over and seize power at six or seven
o'clock tonight. Well, there's two people running, and that would be Sergeant
Dion Mack and Offsher ken Kober. And you know, I'm not just voting
going there's voting going on as we speak. There is voting going on,
and I'm not gonna make any predictions or I have no how many people vote.
There's about a thousand cops or is it all? We've got nine hundred
policemen, but the retired, uh retired folks can vote to I think in
the last election somewhere in the neighborhood seven or eight hundred total people. You
got a pretty good turnout. Then yeah, yes, sir, whoever does
it wins. I mean, you can say this is legitimate and actually someone's
watching the ballots. There's no drop boxes anywhere. Are there are the IDs
required or something? Well, there's there's paper ballots. And in this case,
you know, we're not we're not talking about something as as large as
the United States of America or an organization. We still recognize most people.
So if you walked up and wanted to vote and then your name will you,
I'd say, that's that guy's not a cop, right, Yeah,
well, I mean if you were a cop, will if I was,
if you were a cop, I'd say, you know, sign your name
right there and then then they, you know, they do checks and make
sure nobody voted twice or anything. That happens all the time though you know
a lot of the Democrats want to vote like three times. Yeah, that's
that's exactly right. And maybe sometimes we have some deceased cops that vote,
but that they're still voting. Are still Let's go back in time to the
last year of the first term of Ronald Reagan. There was a little guy
coming out of Elder High School named Dan and Elder High School. You applied
for Deer Park, didn't pass the exam. You had to go to a
preparatory school known as Elder and then you come out of Elder, Yes,
sir, And what happened to Dan Hills at that point? Well, Willie,
at the time, I wanted to be a park ranger. I wanted
to be a forest ranger. Forest ranger Dan, and I said, well,
I got to get myself some college and I got to get myself some
law enforcement experience. I figure, I can get some college money and some
law enforcement in experience by joining the United States Army. What a novel concept,
I asked, see service to the nation. I joined the United States
Army in nineteen eighty four, went to basic training and MP training. All
in one is all in one place. You did eight weeks basic training,
then you did eight weeks at MP training in a place called Fort mccuellan,
Alabama. Probably illegal right now. They probably have changed the name. At
this point. They closed For mccuellan, Alabama because it's a chemical wasteland.
I I ate and drank the dirt of Fort mccull in, Alabama, about
millions of dollars. I see these ads all the time. It's a well
that's the one, that's the Marine Corps one. But apparently Fort McClellan's worst
that just uh Congress hasn't passed the act. That defunny they I wonder what
happened to this face? You know what, how could look this bad?
It was? It was Fort mccuell and Alabama that it did. So you
went an attractive came out. You look like George Plooney. Now I'm not
so good, not so good. And then then from there I went to
deutsch Land. I I served in what was then West Germany. Uh.
I was in a beautiful little town called a Schoffenberg, West Germany. Just
like Elvis, you went to uh woman there no, no, no,
and and I could not sing either. I wasn't wasn't good at singing.
So I just I patrolled the streets. We patrolled them in Volkswagen vands.
You know, little green Volkswagen vands. You're in a small town in Germany.
This kid from elder Yeah, and Volkswagen vans wearing a little MP helmet
line. What are we going to do? Well? What we patrolled the
streets. We could pull over American play the vehicles if we saw them,
if they looked to be acting up. But but you know, mostly we
did family troubles, just like policemen here do. We did bar fights,
theft reports, maybe a fight in a barrack, something like that. We
did things like that, Gomer pile Star. You know what the German police
called us, Willie, No, they called us the kinder pullet's eye.
You know what that means, the kiddy police. Yeah, because guys,
we didn't were not going to cause any problem. We didn't have a clue
of a clue. And I realize that now being a veteran of many years
of a big city police department, it's it's it's a wonder that more tragedy
than happened by giving a bunch of eighteen nineteen year old kids forty five cowber
cult go out there and maintain order, Yeah, got there, maintain order
in the law. So we went out there and kind of winged it.
Uh, you know, we we we'd have a sergeant working with us on
every ship that had some seasoning, but mostly we were a bunch of ding
dong kits twenty seven rolls around. You come out of the military, sure,
and you're thinking what am I gonna do with my life? Well,
you know, I I gave up the forest ranger. Bid. I had
a friend of mine that was in college up at Hockey Technical, and he
was saying, there, they're just as any jobs in his forest ranger business
right now. And uh and I was falling more and more in love with
police work. And I thought, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna come
out. I'm gonna go to school for colineal justice. I started it over
at NKU, doing so good at the school thing, but segment segments,
it's not good. It's just got g I got it. I got it.
I got an elder degree, so I got the same thing god elder
degree. And so anyway, uh I I applied for CPD and then the
very first go around, I uh, I think five thousand people took to
imagine that five thousand thou now we can't get five hundred, but five thousand
took the test, and really somehow I came in like twelve, and I
was really so you're smarter than people think. I I think I got really
lucky. I I em closed my eye and I see I'm picking sea.
That's right. So you got in? Did you get into the first get
go? The very first kick five thousand? I came in twelve. Now
I will say this, I got military points. You do get military points,
so that had to help. That probably brought me up. You know,
maybe how many did how many in the class of five thousand came down
to how big? Maybe our class was thirty something. Uh yeah, hard
for me to recall back then. So four and seventy got shown the door,
will he But yeah, no, I the elite of the elite.
I got to wear I got to wear the badge. I got to be
trained up as a as a since police officer. And uh, after several
months of training, I was assigned to District four. And uh, my
coach, I'll give a shot out to my coach. He's still living,
doing well. John Morgan, John Morgan trained me up. He was a
lawyer and Morgan and Morgan maybe not maybe not, maybe not this John Morgan,
but we ran, uh we ran Carthage and Heartwell part of District four.
Respect for lawman, How would you describe the conditions of the community toward
CPD like in the nineteen nineties. Well, I started eighty seven, like
like I said, and into the nineties there was there was general respect for
law enforcement back then. You know, judges would send people to jail,
am arrested somebody didn't. They ended up in front of Harry mcawain. That's
a different issue. They were in trouble. Yeah, they were in trouble.
Not good, Yeah, but yeah, the judges backed us. You
know, they took not everything was on videos, so you actually your your
your word meant something. And I remember scoring points with both prosecutor and defense
attorney when I came in once on a ticket and they said, you know,
is this the person's driving the car? And I said, I don't
remember. Instead, you told the truth. I told the truth. I
said I don't remember. Right there, I said I don't remember, and
they dismissed it, and they both thanked me a lot, and I thought,
maybe I can, Maybe I can get somewhere by being honest. Justice
done well. I believe justice was done because you know, it's more important
that the system be upright and honest than it is to anyone actual conviction.
The last thirty years, I have a sense about half the judges in Amiley
County take criminal violations seriously, about half do not. Have you noticed a
fundamental change in the Hamony County courthouse? Yeah, I would say in general,
in society across the board, and you could quote me on this.
I think we've gone cuckoo for cocoa puffs. You know, we have to
have law and order to be able to have a functional society. And right
now something you talk about off of Willie, with people flooding across the border,
with the big cities electing judges that give no bond, give no sentences.
I mean, I really do kind of marvel that things haven't unraveled.
Even more, I think something bad's going to happen. I think something really
bad it's gonna happen. Yes, sure, we can't continue as far as
the mayors that you've worked under. My memory fails me a little bit.
Past Chas Lucan. You had Rock sand Qualls and Bobby Stern, and you
had Tom Lucan and Charlie Lucan and had had them, and then you had
Cranleigh and then Mark Mallory for a long time. And now you have a
f to have Purival on his way to the big show, which is a
stomp stopping off point point for him. Which one or two mayriors that you
enjoy working with? And do you have the guts to tell me one or
two marriage you didn't enjoy working with Willie. I'll be honest. You know,
as a as a Cincinnati police officer, especially a guy on third shift
out in District four, District five, District three places I worked, you
really don't give a hoot about the politicians. You you care more about your
sergeant, and you care about uh, you care about who's sitting down at
eight to one Plump Street. Uh. But that completely changed when I,
uh, when I became the FOP president, I found myself having the deal
with the people down there. It's and I can tell you that I had
a really good relationship with John Cranley. I found him sincerely caring about he's
got no chance in the Democrat Party. No, no, no, he
would be no chance. Yeah. No, he's he's like he's like a
moderate and he's a moderate, yeah right now he's he's a mega member almost.
Yeah. And then you know, so I really only had Cranley and
uh an aft Tab and you know, Collery kind of kind of kind of
luke warm. And since now, since twenty fifteen, I think pretty much
I had Cranley right away and then then then af Tab and I'm kind of
lukewarm on the aft taber. But uh, we don't know yet because he's
he looks like a great mayor. He physically looks present. He's a handsome
guy, good till you do anything. But you know it's you know,
he looks good. He looks like the mayor. He's on his way to
Washington to do something. Anyway, this is a stopping off point for him.
I believe that we would have been the two or three low points.
High points are different, difficult because hopefully but what are the low points of
my career in general? Yeah, well, obviously when we lost when we
lost people, I was one of the first officers that responded the night that
Dan Pope and Ron Jeter were killed. I was actually I was actually working
the scene of the suicide of their killer. And we didn't know at the
time that Dan and Ron were like a half mile away from us dead or
dying, and we were working that scene. And uh then when somebody finally
was able to put a couple of the puzzle pieces together and responded over on
Hollister and got on the radio, you know, it was it was just
it was a total almost panic feeling situation. We had two officers down and
and dead and we are dying in case of Ron Jeter, and we had
really no idea at the time that they were that it was connected to the
suicide of a police officer was chasing somebody they thought was just breaking into cars
and he killed himself and that was the That was the no good thug that
took the lives of Danner. What about Sonny Kim. Sonny Kim is another
one. I was off the night that Kevin Crayon was killed, or I
would have been really close to that because I was working out a parking canine
in Mount Area at the time. I was off that night. But Sonny
Kim. I knew Sonny a little bit, but one of my very best
friends was like Sonny's very best friend. There was this connection. There was
another policeman, of course, and I was the sergeant in charge of District
three that day and there was another sergeant work and so when I heard what
was happening, I told the sergeant that he was in charge and I was
going to head that way, and I think a command officer saw on the
computer screen that I was headed to District two, and they they diverted me
and had me go to the hospital to kind of hold things down. At
the hospital. So I was there when Sonny arrived in the ambulance and just
witnessing that whole thing. I went into the trauma bay and watched them make
attempts to save Sonny's life. And you know, a policeman armed as tough
as they all pretend to be, because I can tell you what my knees
were. My knees were getting wobbly, and I had to step out as
as they work, so you know, so hard and you know, doing
what they could for Sonny, but it was it was too late. Sonny
was gone. Something you said a few months ago to me, and that
is I asked you, Dan Hills, if you had an appropriate age son
or daughter, would you say you got to sit for the test and you
got to become a cop in Cincinnati, I could see a Sheriff's deputy or
maybe a Indian hill ranger or Madeira cop or maybe Delhi township. Yep,
And you said no, does that hurt you? Oh? Very much?
So I mean I take great pride in you know, since sat police officer,
and I would never try to stop my son. I have a son
that's of the agent, he could do that. I'd never try to stop
him. It's just not it wouldn't be what I would advising would be the
best. I I sometimes draw a little bit of parallel the war on crime
and the War on drugs, all these things we did over the years,
a little bit to you know, Vietnam. It's it's a war that we're
not really in for. It's one that when something goes wrong, everybody throws
up their hands and says, you know me not, I mean, we
didn't, we didn't want it done that way. And so you know,
uh, the city leaders and and a lot of times top administrators in the
police department and stuff, they're they're they're they're a little happy on the toss
somebody under the bus trigger. For me, that's the CCA and Irish Rolly
in that crowd wants to find something wrong. They just flat out hey cops,
the CCA and Irish Roly. And that's part of the problem too.
You know, you have you have anti police activists that have actually being paid
by taxpayer dollars and have an organization and have a say in the police department.
And when people are you know, in police administration are acting like that's
okay. And this is just part of what we you know, we have
to do. Like, I don't think I could be a top administrator in
Tayson's a police department. They're told me that I sit down and take advice.
I iires rely. I'd be like, you're gonna have to get somebody
else. I'm watching this morning. I think it was the NBC Today's show
head a George Gastone who's the Loberal prosecutor in Los Angeles. His top assistant
has a T shirt that says, quote, cops are killing us. So
this is the top district attorney in charge of felony trials just below like Melissa
Powers. This would be I don't know, the top person and her t
shirt at work is cops are killing us and she's a prosecutor. Yeah,
well you know, and that's Iris Roly. Well we know what we know
is the very opposite would is the case if the police like picked up steaks,
packed up their tents and left the inner cities of America. The killing
would be you know, triple tripled, quadrupled. It would be it'd be
very very sad. I think we'd be like a third world country. We're
at it that way anyway, but but it'd be like a third world country,
darn near overnight and so as much as it sometimes And this is why
I tell the cops is that you know, sometimes when you think you're not
accomplishing anything, you know, when everybody wakes up and they can still drive
to work and it still can get around, go out for an evening and
everything else, you're accomplishing that because if you weren't here, nobody could do
those things. Ten years from now, on the course we're on, it'll
be Baltimore or Washington, d C. It'll be Detroit. And because the
quality of person doesn't want to become begin as a cop, and the oversight
is not oversight, it's apostleizing as to what's wrong with police. Cops are
killing us. That's the attitude. We're going to find you, guys wrong
about something and make your life miserable. And that's what the CCA does of
civilian oversight that has an attitude well up against the clock. I guess our
paths will cross again, but it's been a pleasure the last eight years.
Willie. I want to thank you. I want to thank you for allowing
me on the show and for me to speak on behalf of my coppers and
It's been a pleasure working with you. We'll see what happens in the future,
Yes, sir, we'll see you introduce me to the new guy,
whoever it is. I will do that. Will and see if he's got
the guts to come on. I'll see if he's got the guts to twenty
seven. Thank you, Dan Sure, Bill Cunningham seven hundred wlw Okay,
guys, you hate to shop, but you do want to make her happy.
You do want it to say I love it. It's away from straightaway,
shorter than an extra point. Looking for the seventh walk off field goal
of his NFL career and his second in a span of three weeks. Robbin's
ready to hold the snap, the placement, the right footed kick. Oh
kick is good, and the Bengals are still alive in the playoff. Hut
as a rally from a fourteen point deficit in the fourth corner and beat the
Minnesota Vikings in over time twenty seven to twenty four. Hello quiet, and
I'm spokes I'm broadcasting God, So are you holding? Your breast segment could
be breathed at all, Money mac I just started to a few minutes ago.
Money mac Oh unbelievable. And I checked the weather. He could kick
a field goal from here and ken Wood well atop our building. Well,
at least I can see Montgomery Road at this point. That's for sure terrible,
but we'll see. I mean, there's hope. They're favored to win
in Pittsburgh on Saturday, right then they got Kansas City, then they got
Cleveland right at the end of the season and Flacco he's back. That could
you know what that could be the game? That could be it the winner
goes and it's either win or go home or that one. You never know
what's going to happen. Browns are nine and five. You didn't answer the
question about Jake Browning being related to Tom brown Did you make that no related?
No? How do you know? Willie? The Steward reporters of Proud
Service, every local temp Star Heating air conditioning dealers teph star quality you can
feel in Cincinnati called Stacey Heating and Air Solutions five one, three, three,
six seven h e A T Sports Bengals off today, Willie. They
get back to action tomorrow Saturday road game in the Steel City. Pittsburgh has
announced that Mason Rudolph run run Rudolph Well start at quarterback more than night on
Bengals line, Lance and Company six oh five right here on seven hundred WLW.
The NFL is suspending Steelers safety Demonte Kazi without pay for the remainder of
the regular season and any potential playoff games by the Steelers good for repeated violations
of unnecessary roughness. Mister Kazi got a letter from the National Football League.
He has been previously fined five times this year for unnecessary roughness violations in a
total of fifty nine thousand dollars. Take that, Pittsburgh, Take that Pittsburgh.
Now, let me ask you something. If that had if he's got
fifty nine thousand dollars to throw around, don't you think you might want you
do that once or twice and then you think I'd better not do that anymore.
Is he the guy that tried to take off the head of that Colts
player? Yes? Yeah, they're a dirty team in and Pittsburgh, But
they've always been dirty, right, You live in Pittsburgh, for God's sakes,
what do you anticipate a lot of inbreeding going on? College basketball Xavery
opens up Big East Conference play Wednesday against Saint John's and Rick Bettino in New
York City. More to night on The Sean Miller Show at seven on fifty
five KRC, the Home of Dale Donovan. What about this senate sex tape?
What can you tell me about that? Nku's Jeremiah Israel as a Horizon
League Freshman of the Week, the Erlanger Native, averaging twelve points a game
and wins over the Cumberlands in eastern Kentucky. That young man hit seventy one
percent from beyond the three point line? What thank you? Seventy? Yeah,
that's kind of like you at the park. What is UC going to
play? Like another heating and air conditioning company Bryant or they going to play?
They play a civil war team tomorrow night, the Merrimack. Eh,
they host Merrimack Tomorrow night Merrimack. Wasn't it the Monitor and the and the
something? The two civil war boats the Ironside. I don't know now.
That was Raymond Burr on his show. So they're playing a civil war bern
ackman Merrimack. You see he's playing Merrimack tomorrow night. Well, I do
that they need to win after getting beat by Dayton, I guess so.
And how did Moeger, a Dayton grad, through the UC game when his
loyalties were divided, he uh went went along that tight rope like Carl Wallenda.
Well remember him, fag he fell off a chair, didn't he?
I think he fell off the ropes in Brazil or something, or Buenos Ari's
in Argentina. But walking between buildings? What about xavior here today? Play
next? Saint John's, thanks for listening, Rick Patino Wednesday night, who
do you like? I'll take Uh, I'll take the Musketeers the big win.
Saint John's used to be a weak part of the Big East, along
with DePaul. Not so much anymore, No, because Rick Patino knows how
to coach like Sean Miller, and he knows how vitalized that team in New
York City. Well, seg right now, the Bengals are two and a
half point favorite. That is correct. When's the last time they were a
favorite in Pittsburgh. It's been a while, Uh, nineteen sixty nine,
It's been a while. Yeah, and then Kansas City and then home against
Cleveland one. If t J. T s will be at the game that
day, I mean Taylor's Yeah, she's helping. If she's there I bet
you if Sarah Lee shows up, sits next to her. I have an
l text here from an unknown source because you were talking about the Legion of
Honor for Xavior, right, are you part of that? No? What
that's an outrage? Where's Greg Christopher? Get him on the line. They
love me? Yeah. The very first inductee of the Xavier Legion of Honor
was Dan the mane Han you're talking about now, a sheriff of Hamilton County.
They can go that was the man NFL referee, correct, and he
was the first one in the Legion of Doom a legion of honor, honor
along with what's that guy's name? In nineteen fifty seven, mister Jucker,
Steve Junker, Steve Jonker, he said it was either him or Jim Brown
for the NFL Rookie of the Year. About that, well, how about
that just passed away recently? That's that's pretty good. What the elder Brown
are there recently? Yeah? So I don't know what to tell you.
I don't know what to tell you. If Xavier had a football team,
they could take down uc and football. You know who was on that last
team, Kevin Gordon of fifty five krc in, the host of America's truck
and Network here really yep, nineteen seventy two, he was filling in for
you one day. They couldn't find anybody, so they got Kevin to fill
in. Started talking about this, talking about that about Xavier. He says,
you know, I was on that, I was on the roster that
I was on that team nineteen seventy three, the last Xavier team. He
told all about the whole story. He was like a like a middle linebacker
or something said the team, like, I get I guess they won their
the last last game that they beat somebody they weren't even had a chance to
beat, and they just they just they didn't even tell the players. They
just dissolved the team and that was it. So hell yeah, now they're
trying to get it back right to join maybe the I don't know if they
are. They going to do it because they're going to build a medical school.
It's gonna be a one at the Great American Medical School. Are putting
William D. Cunningham Ostiopathic School of Medicine, right so, uh, the
goal is sixty percent of the students that Savior are female, and uh,
Colleen Hanzick. The president wants to get more males on campus, so she
thought about football. Now it's on ostia pathic medicine. So we'll see.
But I don't know. Also, the Heisman Trophy winner, the LSU quarterback
not going to play in their bowl game coming up. He's going to turn
pro. Oh, you can't get much better than Wales. Well, yeah,
I mean, what are you gonna do, Caleb Williams of Southern cal
It's not playing. No, nobody's playing. Would you play? If you
were looking at a one hundred million dollar contract, you probably would play,
would you No? I wouldn't play. That's why I figured it's all about
the money. Yeah. And uh, there's a chance. I heard on
the grapevine that Joe Burrow, who still eligibility at Ohio State, he's gonna
return back to Ohio State. How about that McCord kid, he's going to
Syria, Syracuse, the home of Dusty Road. How about that he's gonna
go play for the or he's gonna go from the potential of winning a national
title right in Columbus with Harrison. I guess they're going out in the middle
of nowhere en Upstate, New York. Syracuse. Is that no, sense
I don't get well, maybe something like the dough ray and to me has
something to do with it. Couldn't Joe Burrow have one more year of eligibility?
I don't think so at Ohio State? No, has he entered the
portal. I think we all are endled a. We have all entered the
portal, haven't we. I like to see Joe Burrow quarterback Ohio State.
Look at it this way. If the job is going to be won by
Jake the Snake, Yeah, wellhy pay a backup two hundred and seventy five
million. Let him go play for Ohio State for a year and maybe get
a little bit better. Win the national title with two different schools. Has
that ever happened before? Don't think so. So he got LSU, then
the Ohio State. Joe Burrow leading the Buckeyes. He didn't have He didn't
have any eligibility left. I don't think that COVID style has already got a
he's already turned well, I mean, your turn pro anyway in college football?
What the heck? Wouldn't that be dramatic though? Yeah, yeah,
that would be very dramatic. If Day says the announced you to what a
lot of a lot of tickets would become available for the Bengals if that would
happen. But what about Ohio state tickets? Well they sell out anyway,
thank you. One hundred and eighteen thousand people there every weekend. So you
think it's ridiculous for me to make a comment like that, Yes, as
usual. Well he's in the portal. This is what I'm told, aren't
we in the portal? Aren't we all? And Joe Burrow could be a
buck eye, now that would be he was at one time. He didn't
get a shot. Well that's their problem, probably getting a lap dance.
Well you know what, I bet I bet you if he would have day
there, what was he? I bet you a junior and senior year one
two back to back. I bet you never got a sniff. Well,
he still has the opportunities, like all these teams, Like when Jake the
Snake went nuts on the on the sideline Saturday. They should have never bleep
and cut me drop the F bomb on the bikes. Yes he did,
and he learned about the cutting. He was in a hotel and then yeah
he was. Yeah, they never called him. How'd you find out?
Sports center. I guess he must have said, hey, uh you know,
I'm here. I'm here, buddy. His agent agent called, hey,
they don't want you. They don't do I get to suit up?
No, no, just go. Probably knowing them, he put him up
in a I don't know, tell you why some air B and B.
If Joe Burrow would quarterback Ohio State next season, you're talking about some real
excitements. You're out of your mind. Well, how good he has no
eligibility left. I bet he's got a year after all that OVID does sniff
on what's LSU for? That was their problem? Well they were pretty good
anyway, But with Joe, I mean he would have taken him into the
top. I mean, if you're a quarterback now at in Ohio State,
I'm going to say that is eighteen guys ahead of you. I'm going to
Syracuse, right, who does that? They're a bad team in the ACC.
There were rumors he was going to go to Nebraska. Nebraska. Yeah,
I don't get it. That's a terrible place. I don't know.
I mean, I don't know. I Well, you should find out.
Maybe the NIL had maybe the dough, the ray and the mee and things
so had something to do with a big mister McCord heading to upstate New York
mean Kent McCord. Yeah him, Yeah. Adam twelve two man Adam twelve,
two million dollars twelve See the man at Fifth and Walnut two million play
for Syracuse, wouldn't you? Yes, I'd go underneath a carrier dome right
now, wear orange all the time. Let's go. I know it's bad.
That's what they're looking for. Not good. They're looking for the green
salad of salvation. Now all they're after his money segment. There's something better
