My old friends for many years ago in a different place and a different planet
in Toledo, Ohio, about fifty years ago, as I was a young
bailiff and common Police court, or rather much younger, Andy Douglas was practicing
law, and to watch his career the past fifty years culminate with about eighteen
years on the Ohio Supreme Court. The portrait wasn't veiled. I gave a
great speech on his behalf. And I want to thank Justice Chief Justice Sharon
Kennedy and Justice Joe Dieters for inviting me up. And as Dan Hills knows,
Justice Joe is now in the rarefied air on the ninth floor of the
High Supreme Court Building in Columbus. He has a whole bunch of ascots,
he has a smoking pipe, he's got his slippers and more. But until
then, Sergeant Dan Hills, Sergeant Hills, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And Sergeant how are you ill? Mean? I'm doing really good.
I like to welcome eat stalinist Russia because I think that's where we live now.
Well, this is kind of unusual. But before we go about the
Cincinnati police captain under investigation for alleged derogatory comments. Go back in time just
a little bit, and this is about Captain Danita Pettis, who's a captain.
She spent years doing other kind of work and including nine one and now
she's the president of the Sentinel Police Association, which is the so called black
union of black police officers, which after today's decision this morning, might be
illegal, by the way, But nonetheless, to talk about Rose Valentine,
she was one of the policewomen of Cincinnati, had her on with a couple
other females and they're on the main streets of Cincinnati dealing with the worst elements
in town. What happened to police Officer Rose before everything happened, Well,
you know, I don't know how many months and even over a year ago
now that she had become frustrated with some people that were in her way as
she was trying to pull back into the district and she said some really ugly
things that she shouldn't have said to herself. She thought it was to herself,
um, but was captured on her body worn camera which had been triggered
by her I think maybe she hit the airhorn or something. There's a there,
there's there's about a half dozen thing that will turn your body worn camera
on when you're in Saint Policeman. Now, so if somebody next you pulls
their gun out or pulls their taser out, um you know, even if
it's the take it out of their belt before they take their belt off to
go to the bathroom, your body worn camera goes on. And all this
stuff is redacted by um OUR I think it's our record section or something.
They go through all these tapes, and especially when there's a tape that was
requested by defense because at the time she was still um off off service.
She was out of service UH two sevens or code with this UH and theft
investigation. I think it was. So her attorney had all these tapes,
was going to get all these tapes and then they had to be redacted,
and they heard that extremely ugly comment and turned it over and that's how it
all started. That's how the discipline started. Of course, it got thrown
into the public airways, which then got the politicians all up in a frenzy
and they came up with our zero tolering, zero zero tolerance penalties for anything
that sounds racially discriminatory rose out you know, was fired. She went through
arbitration, uh, the arbitration decision as they asked for the arbitrators a three
arbiter panelists for an extension. And I think it's the end of this week,
will we maybe even tomorrow it's due to come out. They'll probably ask
for another extension to keep hunting this thing. And but in the meantime city
council came up with these zero tolerance policies. And that's fact. That's backs
my Stalinish Russia comment to where now, if you want to take somebody out,
all you have to do is catch them any time, day, night,
on duty, off duty, whenever, saying something ugly. And the
fact that nobody wants to admit is that we all say ugly things at one
time or another. We all take people into confidence of time, whether you're
talking to a friend, a brother, or a sister, or a neighbor,
whatever, and you say things that you wouldn't normally say at work or
in public or whatever. And you know, in this case here, look,
you know, Captain Pettison, I have kind of up and down.
That's why I phrased it in social media passed and even you know, our
ups and downs have been at times public, especially our down. It's more
down. I don't want to live in a place. I don't want to
live in a place where we're we're we're reporting to the government all the time.
You know, Hey, I heard Cunningham. I heard him sitting privately
that this isn't. I don't use those words. I don't. I don't
believe I don't use those words in private because it's not part of my vernacular.
But to go back in time, police Officer Rose Valentine is a great
American, working hard to herself, not communicated to another, dropped the end
bomb, and all hell broke loose. So city council, being politically correct,
jumped forward. I wonder how many times those council members have used the
end word in their life. But nonetheless, it was recorded without her knowledge
or intent to be recorded. Now, let's move on to Captain de Nita
Pettis. She's a captain. She's up to become the next police chief.
At some point Thiji got the job, but she applied and allegedly I want
to get the facts out to the American people this afternoon that Officer Tony Nash
and Tony is spelled t O N I may I assume that Tony Nash is
a female or may I use the term? Does she identify as a female?
Yeah, she currently identifies. This all could change tomorrow, but I'm
gonna get the facts out. But according to officer, Tony Nash identifying as
a female presently says Captain Denita Pettis, who also identifies as a female,
made derogatory comments and took place hostility against her on a phone call. The
complaint a legends the audio recording is from a third party without a warrant.
Someone recorded a third party. And I don't know by looking at this exactly
what she said. One part of the call says like you and then there's
like h seven or eight stars like you? Blank? What what did she?
Can you give me the first letter of what she said? Well,
I think she was kin about uh an F word for intercourse um, and
and then talking about who she slept with. And then she said, you
using the F bomb, you eaten white men since you came on the department.
That's how you fed to get off FTO status over there, fu white
a training officer in District three. When you mf in a monkey a s
s I can say as monkey ass was still. So this black woman is
saying to a white woman, may I use the word uh intercourse her way
to the top, and that she also no, no, no, that
she's talking to everybody involved in this. I don't know who the third party
is, um, and I might be wrong to assume that the third party
is also African American, but I don't know. But Tony is African American.
Um uh the nit the Pettis's African American, and I think they're all
black. I don't know for sure who the third party is identify they identify
as black, yes, well they do identify a black and and but there
um, you know, there was some mention about who uh Tony may or
may have not um done the relations had relations to you to get to the
top. And so Officer Tony Nash who identifies say the Tony. No,
she's not saying this the Tony somebody else. Yeah, she doesn't supervise Tony.
Uh Tony doesn't live in the district in which uh Captain Pettis has command.
Um. I think they they have occasion to uh be around each other
in Sentinel business. And I don't know if something want to ride there.
I don't know if there was other personal feelings, but essentially what I get,
just to make this shortest, she's venting to a friend. You know,
it's like if I was if I was talking to Tony about our friend
Willie, and I'm just going off about our friend Willie to Tony and the
Tony, unbeknowns to me, is taping it, and he's got all this
stuff about what I'm saying about Willie, and uh, you know, I
want to appreciate that. I would not appreciate if Tony did that to me.
Is monkey ass is out one of those words that can get you summarily
fired? According to city council, isn't that a racial epithet? About a
black person using the word monkey and one of our semi and friends. Isn't
that a racial epithet? You shouldn't do. I told the News, I
don't believe it's racial. I mean, I don't think an African American is
gonna say monkey U in a racial thing. It doesn't make any sense.
Why would a why would a why would a black person say rookie? You
know, I don't that's that's that's that's what I did. That's what I
I'm reading this so so was the N word other than the F word and
the MF word and the monkey S word? Are those the worst words that
were wrongfully recorded? Is that? The worst is that I have heard?
Yes? All right now? When she said N word, she said N
word. She didn't say the N word. She said N word uh as
part of the conversation. But she did, she did, she did.
She did not say the N word. She didn't. This is tough for
to make you understand. She referred to the N word the same way we
are now. She said, you know the N word, you know,
so when she's when when when he's there calling you the N word? That's
say So the N word came out of the N word came out of Captain
de Nita Pettis's mouth. No, no, no, I didn't getting your
your audience confused. She did not see an word, she said. She
said it in the reference like I'm just saying to you right now, U
N word. You know she was talking about I think I think the reference
was to Tony's ex husband, and she said, and he's there calling you
the N word, But she didn't say it. She didn't say it.
There was no there was no two valves put together, he said, And
and then word you understand, don't no, I don't refuse your audience.
God, I don't want to confuse anybody. But you're saying, she said
the N word in reference is something else, and you're saying she didn't say
the N word and reference is something else. She said the N word in
referenced through a conversation, and therefore she loses her Hurr, Huh, You're
perfectly causing trouble. I think me and Tony are going to have conversation about
you later and which please do which I currently I currently identify as a six
foot ten inch Chinese email, so I want to put that on the record
immediately if someone wants to refer to me as something. So at this point,
Officer to identify as a release pitcher for the Red They could use one.
After last night, they could use one. But Officer Tony Nash is
arguing that pett Is violated two administrative regulations. One is discrimination, harassment and
the Workforce will not be dolrated, which includes this. The other address is
a respectful workplace environment free of bulling, inappropriate place, workplace, workplace workplace.
That's the thing. If I'm off duty and mean having a conversation about
Willie, how is that workplace? You know? I cannot have an I
have a conversation with Tony? Can I not know? You cannot? I
can? I can? I believe you can. I believe for a moment
that you can't. You can't say anything. Don't talk, no, don't
say so. You got two black females going at each other, and each
of them are using discrimination as a verbal club on the other. So these
two blocks, well, you know what I want to know. I want
to know what the blank parted SAPs are from the mystery third person? What
are they saying in between whatever Captain Pettis is saying? Do you want to
live in a country like this? I mean, really, well, he
do you know the place where? Where? You know? At any any
time, Tony could just turn me in because of a conversation that he and
I. Hey, he could he could turn it into the police department and
say not that I workday police anymore. But if I did, he could
turn it in and go listen to the listen to the language that he used
about who identifies as a privately, he's a Chinese female. I don't know
anyway in your audience. I'm trying to your audience nothing. I wish we
could say words, but we can't say the words. But anyway, Joe
Mallory of the NAACP, he don't know what to do. So he's out
a complaint. He's a black female in a pretzel. He's got his head
down and he's saying, wow, Well, she's a high ranking officer that
may want to make an example of her, but I don't think that's fair.
And of course Pettis herself in twenty eighteen and two white officers accused her
of engaging in racist behavior. And so at this point, I don't know
what the hell is going on. At this point, Pettis is in the
bullpet. She's on the bench. She can't play anymore. Not the commander
of district was at three, and she's maybe going to become two, maybe
becoming the next police chief at their thiji, but now not at least yeah
maybe, so what the hell? Well, what do we do? What
are we doing to the children? I want to know what the hell are
we doing this? We're letting politicians make rules so they can get themselves votes
instead of instead of letting the police department get them together. Zero teens there.
We we we pushed things out into the media and then go and then
stand in front of a microphone and say zero tolerant and we've got to put
an end of this racism in everything else. And then it comes back around
and you know, Luke, Joe Malory tied in a preszel. I don't
know what did I well, let's talk about Joe Maurray, who came to
the arbitration hearing of Rose Bounds, you know, and said to the arbiters,
well, you know what if do you give her job back? I
can't promise you, you know, but I'm gonna be talking to the community.
I'm not very happy. I felt it was kind of a hint at
something that wasn't Why did the city Why did the city call for Joe Mallory
to be a witness in that arbitration hearing? That was that was like bizarre
to me. That was what almost saw out of my chair when they called
him and he started talking, like, wait a second, he wasn't there
that day in District three. He doesn't make policy and procedure on the police
department. He was just there to let the front really really ugly. And
now now you got two black females, one using I think monkey ass relative
to a black female or otherwise is a racial epithet. I think accusing a
black woman of sleeping her way to the top. Uh, and the word
sleeping wasn't used. Uh is a bad thing. But nonetheless, if put
me in charge, she gets five days in the bullpen, she gets two
or three days off. Don't do it again. Back to work, Rose
Valentine belongs back on the back in the field. We don't have enough good
cops. She made a mistake, she acknowledged that it was private, and
all of a sudden, white females are treated differently in the black females.
Right, well, I you know, you right have to ask Hill Mallory.
Apparently he has all the answers, all right, Well, of course
the Mallories always have all the answers. But Dan Hills, I don't know
exactly what we did. But thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham show.
Bill. I want you to know not only you are a great American,
but you're my favorite Chinese lady. Well six foot ten inch, I
date yell Man, So you know right now. That's how I identify.
So you better treat me and such and if you don't, you got a
problem. Okay, it's not my problem, it's your problem. Okay,
Yes, sir, ma'am, thank you, Danielle, thank you, all
right, goodbye, goodbye. I don't know what to say. I have
no idea what we just did. I have no idea what was said.
It was bad, So what do you do? Slap him on the wrist
to get back to work. No no, no, no no no no,
no no no no. Zero tolerance means complete stupidity. On seven hundred
WLW. Hey truckers, it's time for today's roll. Hal I really cutting
him the great American back from the portrait unveiling of the Great Justice Andy Douglas
in the High Supreme Court yesterday. I was honored. The Chief Justice asked
me to come up to and part some words of wisdom, and the court
was in session. Thousands of people were present, I think one hundred thousand
watching on the live feed, and it was honored. I was honored to
say once again high to Sue Douglas's lovely wife and Justice Douglas passed away about
two years ago, and he wrote almost five hundred opinions. He was the
voice of the common man on the bench. And from Toledo, Ohio.
I spent seven years of my life in law school and then practicing law for
Schnorff, Schnorff and Schnorff. But the reason I went to Toledo and I
think, even though I may identify as a six foot ten inch Chinese female,
I'm really a white male in reality, and I did not have the
qualifications or the credentials to go to some of the better law schools. So
I ended up at the University of Toledo, which by the way, fit
me perfectly, and I loved it there. But we're waiting till my left
for Joe Biden to read a teleprompter about the Supreme Court ruling, which,
according to Fox News guts affirmative action, which it should have been gut a
fifty or sixty years ago, because at this point it appears the wooden State's
been put through the heart of affirmative action based upon race, which is the
way it always should have been. You cannot end discrimination by practicing it.
You can end racism by using it. And those on the left who tend
to mainly complain about racism, tend to be the ones who use it the
most. So to my left, we're going to anticipate it. Plus a
little bit of constitutional law which Professor Scott Gerber of Ohio Northern University of Law
School would appreciate that there's one essential function of each of the three branches of
government. It's called checks and balances. The brilliance of the founders is that
we have no grand potentate, and each of the branch of the government has
one essential function and they implement each other. Number one, Article one of
the Constitution deals with the Congress. It is an Article one because that's the
most important part of the Constitution, which is the indirect representation through the Congress
of the people, that we the people indirectly in the constitublic elector representatives who
pass the laws. So Number one, the Congress create the law or pass
laws. The Congress says, here is the statute, here is the ordinance,
here is the rules. Number one the Congress's article one. Article two
is the presidency. The President's job is to execute the lass. In other
words, the policeman, the FBI, the Secret Service, the US Marshal
Service, the deputy sheriffs, the correction officers, the highway patrol, whatever
it is, or directly or indirectly under control of either the mayor, the
governor or the president. Joe Biden's main job in office is to execute the
laws given to him by the Congress. And if you have a circumstance where
someone sues in court and claims, you know what, the law passed by
the Congress, or by city council, or by the state of Ohio,
Kentucky in the end of the legislature is illegal, was unconstitutional. Well,
you can't have the president decide that because he executes, he follows the law,
and the Congress of course passed the law, so they're not a good
judge about what happened. So Article three, which is created in the US
Constitution, is for a court system. So one there's a dispute between an
Article one legislature and citizens or organizations or police unions, or department stores or
industries or Dave Keaton, my producer, wants the somebody because he said,
now, wait a minute, the law that was passed is not being properly
executed, or the law that has passed is unconstitutional, it's against the founding
documents, you go to the article three, which is the court system,
and say, you know what, decide this for me. So in this
case, beginning at least with the Bocky decision of some fifty six years ago,
the courts have involved themselves itself and interpreting race set asides, racial quotas,
and all the rest. And so from the get go, we sought
to have a more perfect union. We seek it. We sought to have
under the fourteenth Amendment. As Dave Keaton knows, that any person in this
country should be given equal protection of the laws, equal protection, and any
racial set aside is unequal. The great majority of poor people in America numerically
are white. They're not black. A white kid growing up in der Parker,
Norwood, or Independence or in Batavia. Let's go to news right now,
then we'll babel there at is breaking news on news radio seven hundred WLW.
This is Rick Echino at the seven hundred WLW at newsdesk. It's a
decision that's going to have a huge impact on the entire college admission process.
The US Supreme Court in a ruling today gutting the use of affirmative action.
President Joe Biden is getting set to speak on today's ruling. We will go
live now to coverage from our partners at ABC News. This is live coverage
from ABC News. Here is ABC News correspondents Aaron Katurski. Good day.
President Biden is about to make remarks at the White House. Half of the
US Supreme Court dramatically changed how colleges and universities select their students. The six
to three opinion greatly limited the use of race as a factor in college admissions.
He was president by now in the White House Roosevelt Room forty five years,
four forty five years. The United States Supreme Court has recognized the college's
freedom to decide how how to build diverse student bodies and to meet their responsibility
of opening doors of opportunity for every single American. In case after case,
including recently, just as a few years ago in twenty sixteen, the Court
has affirmed and reaffirmed this view that colleges could use race not as a determined
factor for admission, but there's one of the factors among many in deciding who
from from a qualified already qualified pool of applicants. Today, the Court once
again walked away from decades of precedent, and as the descent has made clear,
the descent states and today's decision quote rolls back decades of precedent and momentous
progress. End of quote. I agree with that statement from the descents.
From the dissent, the Court has effectively ended affirmative action and college admissions,
and I strongly strongly disagreement of course decision. Because affirmative action is so misunderstood.
I want to be cleared, make sure everybody's clear about what the law
has been and what it has not been until today. Many people wrongly believe
that affirmative action allows unqualified students, unqualified students to be admitted ahead of qualified
students. This is not This is not how college admissions work. Rather,
colleges set out standards for admission and every student, every student has to meet
those standards. Then and only then, after first meeting the qualifications required by
the school to college look at other factors in addition to their grades, such
as race. The way it works in practice is this, colleges first established
a qualified pool of candidates based on media, certain grade, test scores,
and other criteria. Then and only then, then and only then it is
from this pool of applicants, all of whom have already met the school standards
that the class has chosen after waging a wide range of factors, among them
being race. You know, I've always believed that one of the greatest strengths
of Americas. You've tired to hear me say it is our diversity. But
I believe that if you have any doubt about this, just look at the
United States Military, the finest fighting force in the history of the world.
It's been a model of diversity, and it has not only been made our
nation better, stronger, but safer. I believe the same is true for
our schools. I've always believed that the promise of America is big enough for
everyone to succeed, and that every generation Americans we have been to fit up
by opening the doors of opportunity just a little bit wider to include those who
have been left behind. I believe our colleges are stronger when they are racially
diverse. Our nation is stronger because we use because we are tapping into the
full range of talent in this nation. I also believe that while talent,
creativity, and hard work are everywhere across this country not equal opportunity, it
is not everywhere across this country. We cannot let this decision be the last
word I want. We cannot let this decision be the last word. While
the court can render a decision, it cannot change what America stands for.
America is an idea, an idea unique in the world, an idea of
hope, an opportunity, of possibilities, of giving everyone a fair shot,
of leaving no one behind. We've never fully lived up to it, but
we've never walked away from it either. We will not walk away from it
now. We should never allow the country to walk away from the dream upon
which it was founded. That opportunity is for everyone, not just a few.
We need a new path forward, a path consistent with the law that
protects diversity and expands opportunity. So today I want to offer some guidance to
our nation's colleges as they review their admission systems after the day's decision. Guidance
that is consistent with the day's decision. They should not abandon let me say
this again, they should not abandon their commitment to ensure student bodies of diverse
backgrounds and experience that reflect all of America. What I propose consideration as a
new standard where college is take into account the adversity as students overcome when selecting
among qualified applicants. Let's be cleared under this new standard, just as what's
true under the earlier standard, students first have to be qualified applicants. They
need the GPA and test course to meet the schools standards. Once that test
is met, then universities should be considered, including acluding lack of students lack
of financial means, because we know too few students of low income families,
whether in big cities or rural communities, are getting an opportunity to go to
college when the poor kid. When a poor kid, maybe the first of
the families to go to college, gets the same grades test scores as a
wealthy kid whose whole family has gone to the most elite colleges in the country
and whose path has been a lot easier, while the kid who faced tougher
challenges has demonstrated more grit, more determination, and that should be a factor
that colleges should take into accountant admissions, and many still do. It also
means examining where the student grew up and went to high school. It means
understanding a particular hardships that each individual student has faced in life, including racial
discrimination that individuals are faced in their own lives. The court says, quote,
nothing in this opinion should be construe just prohibiting universities from considering and applications
discussion of how race has affected his or her life. But it's through but
be it through discrimination or inspiration or otherwise. End to quote, because the
truth is, we all know it. Discrimination still exists in America. Discrimination
still exists in America. Discriminations still exists in America. Today's decision does not
change that. It's a simple fact. If a students has overcome had to
overcome adversity on their path education, the college should recognize and value that.
Our nation, colleges universities should be engines of expanding opportunity through upper mobility.
But today, too often that's not the case. Statistics one statistic, students
from the top one percent of family incomes in America are seventy seven times more
likely to get into elite college than one from the bottom twenty percent of family
incomes, seventy seven percent greater opportunity. Today, for too many schools,
the only people who benefits from the system are the wealthy and the well connected.
The odds have been stacked against working people for much too long. We
need a higher education system that works for everyone, from Appalachia to Atlanta and
too far beyond. We can and must do better, and we will today
on directing the Department of Education to analyze what practices help build a more inclusive
and diverse student bodies and what practices hold that back. Practice like legacy admissions
and other systems expand privilege instead of opportunity. Colleges and universities should continue their
commitment to support, retained and graduate the first students and classes you know in
companies. Companies who are already realizing the value diversity should not use this decision
as the excuse to turn away from diversity either. And we can't go backwards.
You know, I know today's court decision is a severe disappointment to so
many people, including me, But we cannot let the decision be a permanent
setback for the country. We need to keep an open door of opportunities.
We need to remember that diversity is our STrenD. We have to find a
way forward. We need to remember that the promise of America is big enough
for everyone to succeed. You know, that's the work of my administration and
I'm always going to fight for that. And I want to thank you all.
And I know you've been told. I have a helicopter out there waiting
to go up to do an interview in New York. I'll be talking to
more about this allive interview. But thank you very much, and we're going
to have plenty of time to talk about this, but we're not going to
let this break us. Thank you. Live from the White House, Biden,
you go. President Joe Biden's being here on news radio seven hundred WLW.
That coverage brought to you by our partners with a b C News.
The President talking about today's huge ruling by the US Supreme Court that guts the
use of affirmative action and the college admission process. The President saying that he
strongly disagrees with that decision, saying affirmative action is misunderstood, saying qualifications must
always be met by all potential students before being taking other factors such as race
into consideration. No unqualified candidates are ever taken over qualified students due to their
race. He says colleges should not abandon their pursuit of diverse and balance student
bodies, and he's directing the Department of Education to examine what practices can be
implemented or changed to make the admission process as fair and as balanced as possible.
We'll have more reaction from the President, as you heard, he's going
to be doing another interview later today and speaking more about this day. Tuned
all the details here about this landmark US Supreme Court ruling here on news radio
seven hundred WLW. Get your ticket score chance to win one thousand dollars.

Now. I'm make an old woman plus and I'll make a yold girl sweet.
Want to be up with the baby in Yola. I'm but I'm bad
of the bowl, Bad of the bowl, bad of the bow. All
right, here we go again. After two o'clock today, we'll be Rob
Sanders. He's looking out his window. He tells me to the line with
Taylor Swift, my old girlfriend, and the line is now across this suspension
bridge, heading towards downtown Covington. That's after two o'clock today. J Ratlife
will be with us in about an hour and a half talk about the smoke
and what's happening and travel and more. Plus we had the Centerville Elks are
going to be here in about twenty five minutes, the girls champ mpionship golf
team. They're gonna qualify for the Kroger Classic. I would assume. Let's
get into it. The Democrats have been the party for the last two hundred
and forty years since this country was created. That's lived and died off the
labor slash votes of African Americans. They've never stopped. From the days of
slavery. Every slave brought into this country was brought in by a Democrat.
And when the North decided enough is enough, we can't take it anymore,
then the South attacked the North in Fort Sumter. It was the Northerners like
Ohioans and Buckeyes that went to war with the South controlled by the Democratic Party
and slavery. Every black woman that was raped, every slave that was beaten
to death or sold, every kinto kunte that had a foot chopped off was
chopped off by a Democrat. So we fought and died. Well over a
half a million died to keep the United States of America together. As one,
and thank god, the North and the Republican Party beat the South and
the Democrats in the Civil War, but for the assault on Atlanta, Sherman's
Marsh to the sea, so to speak, it was possible in eighteen sixty
four that Abraham Lincoln, a proud Republican, would not have beaten the Democrat
McClellan, who wanted to stop the war and let the South ie the Democrats
keep the slaves. So a few years later, in eighteen seventy six,
there was a sputed election. What about eleven years later, Rutherford B.
Hayes was the Republican, A guy named Tilden was the Democrat, and the
electoral college in those days wasn't real comp didn't know who won. So the
Democrats go to Rutherford B. Hayes and said, look, the Republican,
I'll tell you what we'll do, Rutherford. What kind of name is Rutherford?
By the way, would you name your son Rutherford? But nonetheless it's
from Ohio. They said, old Rutherford B. Hayes that if we give
you the presidency, we want all the Union troops out of the South.
We Democrats want to take control of the eleven states thirteen states of the old
Confederacy. We want all you Blue Coats out of the South. So to
get the president see Rutherford B. Hayes said, okay, I'll pull out
all the federal troops. So Democrats got rid of all those damn Republicans and
the Blue Coats and sent them back north. From that point on, from
at least eighteen seventy six until the nineteen sixties, almost one hundred years,
the Democrats then created in the South a cast system in which slaves were better
off having not been in slavery. But after the beatings and the Jim Crow
and the ku Klux Klan and all the lynchings for eighty or ninety years,
of what the Democrats did the black folks point the civil rights movement began.
And at that point, when allowed to vote by the Democrats, the slaves
in the South, the black folks always voted Republican because they can't take it
anymore. Look look around, Look what the Democrats have done to us.
I was a slave, damn it. Now I'm a sharecropper. I have
no rights because Democrats kicked out the Republican slash Bluecoats. Beginning in eighteen seventy
six, and now we're victimized by the ku Klux Klan. Then in the
nineteen fifties and sixties, after nearly one hundred years of enslavement of a different
type by the Democrats, the civil rights movement began with Rosa Parks and Fred
Shuttlesworth and Martin Luther King Jr. The old roommate, and my former Boston
Toledo Robert V. Franklin, my judge who hired me as this bailiff for
four years at ut Law School, was the roommate of king Morehouse College nineteen
forty eight. And after all that, it was like pulling teeth to get
the Democrats in the nineteen sixties to quit fillerbust during the Civil Rights Act and
the Voting Rights Act. So here we are another sixty years go by.
So the Democrats for two hundred years used, abused, murdered, lynched,
rape, sold men women and children who were black. That's what Democrats did.
And now today jump ahead to twenty twenty three, you got Joe Biden
standing up to say he was saying, essentially discrimination still exist, Yes,
it does exist. It's called affirmative action. They proposed the policies that keep
discrimination alive because black folks tend to vote for Democrats because even sold a bill
of goods. It's almost like the Stockholm syndrome. For God's sakes, and
the major cities, no matter how bad it is, Democratic voters in the
major cities, either at liberal white females or black folks, vote for Democrats,
despite how bad the schools are, despite how bad the crime is,
despite how bad the jobs are. There's nobody wearing white sheets. Those Democrats
anymore aren't rolling around Evandale and Evanston anymore. No, they're called the leaders
of the Democrat Party who will promise one thing and deliver nothing. The Stockholm
syndrome today is alive and well in major American cities. So now you have
the president who is supposed to execute the laws passed by the Congress an interpretive
by the US Supreme Court. It's Biden's job to follow the law, not
to find ways around it, not to tell the Department of Education, you
know what, we're gonna find a way around that, we're gonna work.
No, it's his job to faithfully execute the laws. Can I say three
times, as Biden likes to do, affirmative action is racial discrimination. The
great majority of poor folks in America today numerically are white. You mean to
tell me that the children of Michael Jordan, the children of all the Mallories,
the children of the great Chris Smitherman, the great majority of black folks
today are in the middle class, and there are thousands and thousands of black
millionaires, thousands and thousands of black millionaires, that their children should get a
benefit on some white guy or girl out of Batavia because of race. The
party of race that multiplies, divides, subtracts, and adds strictly by race,
is still in charge, and they want to continue to hurt black folks
by telling them that affirmative action it's great, it's wonderful. Well, affirmative
action is illegal now, and affirmative action is discrimination. So I would urge,
I would ask you to think about this, especially if you tend to
vote for that party, the party that rode the horses and the post Civil
War era with white sheets. That the party, the Democratic Party that raped
black girls, sold black children, killed black men for one hundreds of years.
That party is now telling you we want to continue to discriminate and hurt
you. No one can fairly say that if you're locked into the inner cities
of this great country, that your educational opportunities completely control by the Democrats are
good. It costs more to send a boy or a girl to CPS than
it does to Sandax High School. It costs more to send a boy or
a girl to Woodward than to Covington Catholic. It cost a lot more to
send a boy or a girl, a lot more money to send a boy
or a girl to Use or Taft than it does the Deer Park or Sycamore.
The party that has ruined the lives and enslaved black folks continues to do
so. In twenty twenty three, they now call it affirmative action is meant
to cure discrimination. When affirmative action is discrimination, That's what it is.
And to have a system in college or business or anywhere, or a person
gets a benefit or a cost because of skin color is discrimination. The best
way by George Orwell's animal farm is to an act of policy is to call
it the opposite of what it is. Why this black up is down,
left is right, right is left, and the game is being played as
I speak, as the leaders of the Democratic Party wants to keep their most
loyal voters who tend to be black females, and the liberal Democratic camp by
lying about Clarence Thomas and lying about the Supreme Court opinion of today, which
hopefully finally says that a person will not be judged by the color of their
skin, by the content of their character. I want to live in a
nation where merit matters. All. The great American me did not have the
academic qualifications to get into Harvard or Yale. I went to a school appropriate
to what I could handle. Nku or you see or since an dat state
are fine educational facilities that can take in thousands of individuals and turn out persons
that are ready to confront the problems of the twenty first century. Don't have
to go to the Ivy League, for God's sakes, because admit it because
of the color of your skin, then after six years, because of the
poor education you received, you either flunk out or leave. That doesn't make
any sense at all. Affirmative action is discrimination. Anything else stated is a
lie. I want to live in a country where I will be judged by
what I've accomplished, by my perseverance, by my faith, by my sticktuitness,
and not judge because the skin color I have as black or white or
brown or whatever it might be. Oh, let's continue the line becomes available,
which it never does. Seven four nine, seven thousand. We're scheduled
after one thirty today to have on Centerville Centerville Julie Rogers and the home of
the Elks who won the state girls golf championship. Imagine playing a game of
golf that Tiger Woods, because of the color of his skin, received maybe
four birdies to start the round. After all, Tiger, you're black and
you're a victim of racial discrimination. The children of Tiger Woods would get benefits
that your children would not receive. Now that is stupid. That is real
stupid. Let's continue. By the way, there's I don't know eight to
ten black judges justin Hamlintin County. Do you think their children should get a
benefit over you if you live in Batavia or Taylor Mill or Middletown or Greene
County, that somehow the children of the great judges of Hameline County who are
black get a benefit because of the color of their skin. Are you kidding
me? Affirmative action is discrimination? One twenty five Home of your Red's unbeatable.

I think. And our players are we have four seniors in a sophomore.
So seniors are Morgan Rodgers, Leanne Harker, Alona Miller, and son
Johnna Ready. And the sophomore is rigid Nichols. She's she's a junior.
Now she's she's getting old. Was there a key moment when the pressure was
intense, the lightning was striking, the trees were swaying, the cheering was
at its tumultus best at one point, did you say I need to make
this seven foot? But girls, was there an occasion during the day when
that happened? Um, I would say, all of us just making sure
we're not taking any shots for granted, and just making sure that you know
we're going through our routine. Um. I wouldn't say there was a specific
shot because we didn't know that we had won until after. Maybe that's better,
Maybe that's yeah, it's like that. It's Jordan's speet doesn't know he's
playing. Someone may beat him. But you had a seventy seven and you
had a nine on the hole. Please explain, Um I don't. I
was right down the middle of the fairway. I under stroked about two seventy
five down the middle. Yeah, I think it was more about three ten,
but wow, no yards, no yard ten years now the words it's
stuck. It was a wet surface, the ball carry three ten beautiful,
it was. It was a great shot up. Then what happened here in
the middle of the fairway? What happened next? End up pulling my shot
basically right over the tree. I hit like a few shots right. I
don't even remember that shot, honestly. I just remember walking up and I
was like, okay, just get it on the green. And I hit
the tree a couple of times, maybe a few times actually several times.
Yeah, how you make a nine on a hole and shoot seventies? I
think I actually went over the green into the bunker and then you stayed in
the bunker for a while. Yeah, you know, and you went to
the other bunker. Then you scalded across the green and you chili tipped to
once. You do that every week? I did it against Paul O'Neil is
still a year in a coach? How many years you've been doing this for?
How long with the Elks? Uh? Well, I've been there,

worse than the major leagues. Look at the girls a little do it
and they know the sung. Since then, they have gone twenty one and
nine on the road, the best in them and major League. The last
seventeen games, they're fourteen and three. Unbelievable in the Reds. Unbelievable.
Andy Mack, who's more important in this Town coach Taylor's whipped or the Cincinnati
Reds. Tag your reactions, Let's see what do you say? Please continue
saying. Indianapolis Colts Isaiah Rodgers and Rashad Barry, along with free agent Demetrius
Taylor suspended today and definitely by the National Football League. Don't tell me they're
betting like p rose to at least a conclusion of the twenty twenty three season
for betting on NFL games last year that they were participating in correct. At
Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Nicholas Petite Ferrar, you know what bett and golf?
Do you is? Um? I know I've never bet either. This guy
from the Titans suspended six games when violating the gambling policy went on none NFL
sports. You also have a responsibility. There are a lot of people that
I was following you. You're a role model, whether you like it or
not, role model, and you have to conduct yourself with a high standard.
And that's what I mean about protecting the shield and protecting the integrity of
the game. You have a responsibility when you play in this week and you
have to live up to that standard. That's the coach of Centerville talking to
his girls. Uh the let's see Ferrar is out six games because he bet
on non NFL sports at the club's facility, but NFL his partnership with rank
Draft brings. Yeah, you're all betting. I don't know, have you
been on football or anything? And now I wouldn't even know how to do
it. The NFL regular season kicks off ten weeks from tonight. It happens
ten weeks the NFL season begins. You know, I had little Anderson in
here about a few days ago from ten year old boy who's that his favorite
player is Patrick Mahomes? Girls? What do you think something wrong with that?
How about this? Will he? Pickleball probably reginated in nineteen sixty five.
Ohio ranks the number two state with the highest growing pickleball interest year over
year eighty three percent increase. Cincinnati and Cleveland ranks seventh for city with the
highest growing pickleball interest year after year of who cares? And by the way,
coach, do you see pickleball coming into high school at some point?
Doubt it? What about? What about? What about rugby? My wife,
the People's Judge, has tried for years to put together a rugby senior
female team of over sixty five year old women. Do you think and she
can't get more than three players? Do you think it'd be hard to get
rugby senior citizens? Yes, Seg your reaction. You need a lot of
ambulances and maybe a few helicopters on the on the sideline. What about SEG's
mom, which she consider playing Rugby? No? Are you sure? Yes?
Hit the music? Hit the music, Dave. Now we got a

with Tim Tim mccrawl right, and then moved into West date Faith Hills who
hit the music with Taylor? That's me. They probably want to sing with
her. You girls know that song. Let's hear the song, Let's go
unbelievable. Never never, who's that song about it? About your break up
with her? That was don Mary? I thought it okay, well Morgan,
who you know? Who they? I mean? Maybe that's I don't
know, I don't know. She gets around a little bit Shelway. She
didn't have any morals like the girls from Centerville. Do you reds right?
Anything else in sports? That's about it? You're sure? I think so?
Once again, coach, congratulations if you win next year? Where you
come back? Of course? So there was one thousand, two hundred and
forty eight strokes hid and you feat the other team by one? What team
was it? Doublin Jerome? Who Doublin Jerome? The Columbus have Columbus never

Vender have hired people to stand in line for him and to buy merchandise in
a FaceTime, what to buy? How much to spending? Was an unlimited
budget? Plus so many other issues are percolating and norting a daiga Joonan you
and I now is the Melissa Powers of Kenton County. That would be Rob
Sanders. Rob Sanders, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Rob,
can you talk about look out your office? What is happening this Thursday
afternoon? And a try stay relative to the line to get merchandise for Taylor
Swift. It's a crisis, Willie. I can't This concert hadn't even started
yet, it's not even the day of the concert. And the crowds over
there. I can see him from my office window. It's already nuts.
They opened this, or before they even open this merchandise truck that she's got
pulled up over there. The line stretches all away from the Bengal Stadium over
to the banks, and then it takes a right hand turn and goes across
the suspension bridge. It's nuts. I was surprised that you were able to
put your show on because I thought Tony Bender would surely be in line for
his T shirts, Taylor Swift t shirts. But it makes sense. Now
that you tell me he's got somebody paid to stand in line for him,
that makes sense on how the show can go on, But it's crazy.
I can only imagine what the crowds are going to be like for the actual
concert. If just to stand in line to buy a T shirt has already
stretched for it looks like almost a mile from the stadium all the way to
Covington. The thing is, he's got this system set up for these two
two young women he's hired, and that they FaceTime, And so when you
get to the front of the line, there's like six or seven cubicles a
line, and everything's done by credit card, and he's face timing to see
which of the tailor Swift outfits he wants to buy. And I'm thinking,
why would have grown man buy a tailor Swift out unless you identify as a
female. Maybe Tony Bender identifies as a female. Maybe he identifies like I
do, as a six foot ten inch Chinese female. So maybe working on
a bud Light endorsement willie you never know. So so you're saying, seriously,
is this like a cright? What if this thing continues to build throughout
today and tomorrow, what do you do in Comington. Do you have to
shut it down? I don't know. We might have to close the suspension
bridge or maybe a River Center boulevard down there. We might have to find
a way to curve this line around so we can minimize the traffic disruption.
But so far it's been non violent though I like Taylor Swift fan knock on
Wood. There's no US involved, there's no knives, there's no riding or
robbing or no shooting or anything like that. So far, it's keeping crime
down in Covington. And you know, as long as this line for the
merchandise stand blocks traffic headed into Covington, and it will keep all the thugs
from Cincinnati from crossing the river. So it really might workouts our benefit here
in northern Kentucky. Are you gonna come down to the Taylor Swift concert would
be at FC. We've got the Reds. The Reds game last night.
Listen to Tommy Thrall late. That was unbelievable. The Reds are gonna have
the pod recent Town Friday, Saturday and Sunday. FC's playing Saturday Night Taylor
Swift starting today all the way through Saturday night or Sunday we have predictions of
a fifty percent chance of thunderstorms and downpours. We have twenty five to thirty
thousand people who don't have tickets that are gonna descend on pay Course Stadium just
to be close to the tabernacle of pop music. I can't conceive of a
similar weekend ever in the Tri State than this. This is unbelievable. No,
this is nuts, Willie. I've never seen. The anticipation alone is
something I've never seen. I can only imagine what the crowds are. This
is gonna make river Fest of the fireworks w being fireworks look like nothing.
The size of the crowds down here. I don't know that the police on
either side of the river know what they've got coming for them. You know,
I haven't heard anything about streets being closed or anything like that, but
certainly the lines we're seeing, the crowds that I can see out my office
window are big enough that it looks like we're gonna need it. If this
is what we're getting now just to buy Taylor Swift T shirts, I can
only imagine what it's gonna be like once she actually starts singing songs and playing
music. Not to mention the Reds in town in the first place, got
a chance to sweep the Padres because they haven't been playing with the darn here
of late. You know, if they can find a picture, they might
They might need you or me to go pitch Willie, because I think either
one of us could go at least four innings without giving up four home runs,
which is something that the starters for the Reds haven't been able to do
lately. But thank god they're hitting, because they're putting up, you know,
a touch or more a game, and that's how they're managing to stay
in first place. But I'm not complaining. It's we're about two years early
on when I thought I would ever watch a Reds game again. But I've
been tuning in loyally because their offense is certainly fun to watch. Last night,
I'm lying in bed watching the conclusion of the game. Listen to Tommy
throwing the Todd Father. I mean to beat, to be way down,
then to get up, then to give it all back on three runs.
Day seven to four seven is out. I'm going nuts. I can't tell
they're gonna lose. You know, I'm a little bit of a pessimist.
As I can't believe what I'm watching. Then in the tenth thing to come
back and score what four runs, and to win the game the way they
won that game, and then to have it decided by a ball that hits
the knob of the bat instead of his hand, instead of the bases loaded
like nobody out, all of a sudden, he strikes out of the next
pitch on ball four. Anyway, I'm so excited, I can't stand it.
And this is unbelievable. The Reds are in first place. But I'm
want to talk about a serious matter. Are you ready? I'm ready,
Willie Lane on me. You've had similar cases. This storm character in Claremont
County lines up for execution a three or four to seven year old son that
are the most darling looking kids in the world, And of course they're going
to go for the death penalty, and Claremont County that is likely. And
I spoke to a certain long term Hamilety County prosecutor I was with yesterday about
this and he as similar feelings as I have. That is, if we
have an effective death penalty, you've got to execute someone like that, because
that guy who confessed to the killing there's no question who did it, there's
no motive, there's no self defense, there's no justification. In sanity's going
to be tried, but that's not going to work. So acting within a
year or two after everyone does the appeals, that's fine. But he knows
and I know horrible cases we've had in Hamleton County of serial killers that rape
and set on fire while they're alive teenage girls and watch them horribly die.
That guy still has not been executed some twenty years later, nor are they
likely ever to be executed. I've come to the conclusion that life imprisonment without
possibility of parole, without all these appeals, is as good or more punishment
than the actual death penalty that has never been employed anyway, at least in
the past twenty or thirty years. I would assume in Kent County to have
the death penalty imposed would take decades. Your son, maybe your grandson,
would be the prosecutor by the time it would have to happen. Do we
have such an ineffective death penalty for people like this murderer Dorman to life in
prison without possibility of parole is more desirable? Well, No, Willie and
here's why. Because the public defenders out there, you know, the hug
a thug, criminal loving liberal defense attorneys that are you know, aren't necessary
evil in the world, because our justice system doesn't function without the defense attorneys.
But the ones that are out there that would do anything, regardless of
the law or ethics or whatever else, that they would do anything to try
and keep someone from being executed, no matter how heinous the crime. The
ones that drag their feet and drag these cases out for years on end,
they're not going to just give up and go away. They're not going to
retire, They're not going to go find another line of work. If we
get rid of the death penalty. All they're going to do is take all
the effort, all the resources, all the money they spend, all the
people they hire that are working to fight death penalty cases. Right now,
that's going to fight life without parole cases. I know of public defenders that
already refer to life without parole is a slow death penalty. So they will
just take all those folks, all that money, all those tax dollars,
all those resources, and they'll put them into life without parole cases, and
all of a sudden, the life without parole cases will be the cases that
never end, like the death penalty cases seem to be the ones that never
end right now. They're just appealed NonStop, forever and ever and ever.
There's never an end to them. Well, the only reason there's an end
of life without parole right now is because all the attorneys that would be working
on those cases are working on the death penalty cases. So if they got
somebody off death row, or if they kept somebody from going to death row,
and that person gets to live out the rest of their happy life and
join prison, which for some people is a walk in the park. They're
more comfortable in prison. They're more secure in prison. That's what they've grown
up knowing. You know, for them, going to prison is no more
unpleasant than you or me going to the dentist. That's just a way of
life for them. You know, that's not a punishment for everybody in the
world. You know, the thing about my job that's really hard to explain
to a lot of good citizens out there, you know, law abiding citizens,
taxpaying citizens, people that don't have to see the evil in the world
that I've seen that Joe Dieters is seen. The bliss of powers is seen
that Lewis Kelly out in Boone County sees. You know, the people that
do our jobs, all the assistance that work for us, that see these
heinous criminals day in and day out, they know that there is just evil
in this world, evil like you cannot imagine. And to those people living
in a cage, the rest of their life is not that big a deal.
It's just a fact of life. It's something they got to do.
So for them, life without parole was not a deterrent. And you know,
I wish I could say that the death penalty was a deterrent some people.
I certainly think it is. It's a deterrent for me, it's a
deterrent for you. It's probably a deterrent for Tony Bender. You know,
people that obey the law. We don't want to be put to death.
I don't think criminals. You know, if the death penalty wasn't at least
somewhat of a deterrent, you wouldn't see people fighting the death penalty so much.
I don't know me, I'd never want to spend the rest of my
life in a prison cell. I might want to opt for the death penalty.
If I was ever in that situation. But you know, some people
are obviously afraid of it. And it's at least that being afraid of that
striking fear into the hearts of evil men, evil criminals, that there's value
in that, still not knowing whether you're going to get a death penalty,
there's value in that. There is some punishment, there's payback, there's retribution,
and there's also deterrence in those things. And it might be the only
thing that keeps me from crossing the line and becoming murderers and killers is the
fact that they don't want to be put to death. But you get me
on a soapbox, now, Willie. The bottom is, no, we
don't need to do away with the death penalty because that will just turn all
the hugg a thug criminal loving liberal defense attorneys out there that will just turn
their sites on the life without parole sentences instead of the death sentence. That's
the best argument I've heard. I'm going to start using it myself. The
last person executed in Ohio was about six or seven years ago, and it's
because the ACLU is now suing the drug manufacturers who create the ingredients that caused
the death, and so they're going to keep those civil lawsuits penning forever.
And these drug companies make no money of creating the drugs that caused someone to
go to sleep and die. They don't make any money off of it.
They don't want to do it, and so they're gonna stop going to sleep.
They're gonna get get rid of lethal injections because the Wyats and the others
do not want to create any more of these drugs. They make no money,
they get sued, they don't want them. So therefore, when Joe
Dieters proposed you know what we need then as a firing squad, it used
to be six guys with rifles and one had a dummy, and all six
aimed for the heart from about twenty feet away, and at the same time
they shot. You're not sure which one killed the guy, and they're dead.
Now, when you do that, you get viciously attacked for brutally killing
somebody. Of course, the guillotine would be available, or hanging somebody would
be available, or the electric chair would be available, or the gas chamber
would be available. For Chad Dorman, but the odds of him ever being
executed in Ohio it's almost non existent because we don't do that anymore. And
you got to change the law to allow a firing squad, and that'll never
happen. People don't like the idea of six men with a rifle, one
with a dummy round shooting into someone's chest simultaneously, and so we can't use
that. We can't use the guillotine, we can't use the gas chamber,
we can't use the electric chair because it's too painful. Really, you know
that Utah just reinstituted the firing squad, so that is you know, that's
not out of the question. They I think it was about a year ago
Utah put the firing squad back on the books. It's not unheard of.
There's other I think it was South Carolina was talking about bringing back the electric
chair. So you know, people are considering some other alternatives. But I
tell you this, you know, why do we even buy drugs to put
people to death? When I guarantee the coming from police got enough fentanyl and
their evidence rooms to kill everybody on every death row in every state in America
and still have plenty left over. So why are we worried about buying drugs
from a manufacturer that don't doesn't want to make those drugs for us, Well,
let's just stop. Let's just start using the drugs we got. Otherwise
they're this is going to be destroyed the next time they take the illegal narcotics
to the incinerator. We got people all over Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana
killing each other. They're killing themselves us inting fentyl every day. Obviously,
it can't be too horrible of a way to go, or else we wouldn't
have so many people over singing dying from it. Most of them go out
happy. So you know, why are we buying this stuff? And when
we've got plenty of it in police evidence rooms to begin with, I don't
know. In Kentucky, we've only executed two, I'm sorry, three people
since we reinstituted the death penalty. Two of them have been volunteers, so
we've only executed one person against their will. We've had a moratorium for about
the last decade because there's some technicality that some liberal judge down in Franklin County
is Frankfurt, the state capital, found that we didn't we had some flaw
in the adoption of our regulation to check people that a court have already ruled
are not so mentally ill that they couldn't stand trial that we didn't check to
see if they were mentally ill before we execute them. So now we got
to stop death penalties all over the place. And now three governors, including
one of whom was a Republican, haven't bothered to tell their Corrections department to
hey, go fix the REGs so we can fire the death the death penalty
back. They haven't done it at all. So we haven't added anybody to
death row in Kentucky in that time, largely because I think prosecutors across the
state know that the line's not moving at all on death row, so they're
not being very aggressive about putting people there. But there are people that need
to be there, you know. We get that Stephen Shang Shang guy on
trial in Scott County for executing a Scott County sheriff's deputy. He's one,
and then went on a kidnapping and robbing and shooting spree in Fayette County after
that. He'd be a good candidate for it. There's plenty across the state
who have raped and murdered children. They'd be good candidates for it. It's
something that we need to have for the worst of the worst case. Somebody
that's gonna say everybody needs to be executed, but there certainly are evil people
in the world that are worthy of the death penalty, like that guy out
in Claremont County. I hope Ohio sends him to where he needs to be,
and I hope they do it fast, because the only thing wrong with
the death penalty, in my opinion, is that we don't do it fast
enough. We need to be executing people for the crimes commit in enough time
after they've exhausted their appeals, but fast enough to people remember why they're being
executed in the first place. Because I don't think there's anybody that's going to
argue that a man that executes his own three children, three little boys that
aren't even big enough to fight back, doesn't need to be on death row.
She just need to do it while people still remember the crime he committed,
and chasing one of them into a field of bring him back to execute
him. I mean, well, Chad Dorman, you could get six gentlemen
and or ladies out of Claremont County and load them up, give one a
dummy round point at the chest where to be, and the line to volunteery
would be as long as a Taylor Swift concert line. Because the people of
Claremont County are just outraged by this, but we gotta run. I know
you got a busy weekend. You got Taylor Swift, you got the Reds
and the padres, you got f seat, so much going on, and
I'll let you know. Tony Benner tells me he may have an extra couple
of tickets. Would you be interested, you and your wife of going with
him? If you'll be like on the front row watching Taylor Swift, You're
good. Whar are the outfits and the bracelets and the whole deal? Well,
Willie, I would love to, but only if you can arrange for
the WLW traffic helicopter. Do you guys still have one of those? Can
pick me up and bring me down it? Because I don't want to sit
in all the traffic down here. If there's one thing I detest more than
anything, it's it's bumper to bumper traffic. So I don't think you're gonna
get me down from downtown for much of anything this weekend. But if either
you have an extra ticket to the Willie Cunningham luxury box at the Reds game,
or if Tony Bender has extra tickets to Taylor Swift, do you all
just send the helicopter out to Fort Mitchell to pick me up and I'll be
happy to join you. Well after you had man crashed on two seventy five,
there's no more helicopters. And rest in peace, Nancy, or rest
in peace? All right, we gotta rhyme, but once again, good
luck with this weekend. We'll see what happens. The best argument I've heard
is keep the death penalty, so the ACLU and left wing lawyers have to
work on that instead of life without possibility of parole, because if they win
the death penalty completely, the next one's gonna be life without possibility of parole.
And Chad Dorman at a minimum needs to spend the rest of his life
tied to a prison cell, beating every day of his life and fed warden
Burghers until he dies. But that's a different issue. And Rob Sanders,
thank you, and you have a great Fourth of July weekend. Thank you,

taking two or three against the Ohs and Baltimore. About last night, the
Reds are welcome in the Yes San Diego Padres and the start of a three
game set tomorrow night and action right here on seven hundred W wellw and and
don't forget the game time tomorrow is at five ten, despite what the calendar
says. Correct and at the halfway point of the season. Now whether the
Reds are in first place at the NL Central forty three and thirty eight on
the year, today's exactly halfway correct. I wonder what they were last year
at the halfway point. Not good? No, not good now from Joel
luck Up, this is a guy the king of Valley Sports. Cincinnati statsbelievable.
The Reds are now forty and two. When they hold the lead at
the eighth thing or eighth inning or later, that's best in the MLB.
They have won thirty six in a row when leading in the eighth or later,
and last night was their twenty ninth come from behind wind that leads the
National League, leads all of baseball. You probably lost faith when the Reds
gave up three runs late well to tie it up. Then they go to
the tenth fuck Farmer gave it up. But then all of a sudden,
Will Benson with the triple and ten j Fred told him move in more.
I was just gonna say, if they're bunting here, he's got to get
up there. Get that first out at first base, still pretty far back,
and Benson swings away rockets one toward right. It's deep, guns over
the head of Son Tom Dare. It one hops the wall, new Hi's
around the score. Benson charging for third, dives in without a throw and
the Reds are back on top. Here's the payoff pitch and Freedol hits into
the air right field. Son Tom Dare going back, looks up and gone.
J Freedol his second home run and his mini games ten seven Reds on
the two run blasts over the right field wall. Second two two pitch,
he tried to check, couldn't hold up. Westburgh went around. He is
down on strikes and that's in Reds win it eleven to seven. Once again,
the Reds have to come from behind for the twenty night time this year.
The Red's gonna comeback victory, and they do so, this time taking
two out of three from Baltimore at Camden Yard. I understand Matt Reese is
still in line at the Taylor Swift trying to get a T shirt. Yes,
I think Sarah Elee is down there now. She's she's waiting in line.

about the affirmative action decision by the US ramcard at the top of the hour.
But until then, Jay Ratliff, welcome again and the Bill Cunningham show
a great man. When it comes to all matters aviation, one must think,
when I watched the news earlier today and of course last night, how
disastrous aspects of our air traffic control system is. And I'm thinking about the
wildfires, I'm thinking about the thinking about the FAA, I'm thinking about other
issues. How bad will it be this fourth of July weekend of travel,
Jay Ratliff, give me a full report, Well, well, if everybody
does their job. I'm talking about the FAA, the airline agents, all
the air traffic control individuals, everybody on the ground. I mean, we've
got the possibility of being okay. Now. Obviously, don't throw any bad
whether our way or anything like that as well, because obviously that could be
the fly in the ointment. But you know, for the first few weeks
of summer, the summer travel season, for Memorial Day forward, things are
pretty much on track. And once we hit that period of bad weather that
kind of kicked in about eight days ago, we've been kind of fighting from
behind in several regards. And part of that is because we have more people
traveling this summer holiday season than we had last summer year before, in fact,
pre pandemic. When you look at the TSA numbers, we have more
people flying now than we did in the summer of twenty eighteen, which was
pre pandemic. Now, the two interesting aspects to that particular stat is that
one, we have thousands of fewer flights because airlines have parked hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of airplanes that they don't have pilots for they would love to be
flying them, they can't she have all these people packed on fewer flights.
The other thing, and this you know very well, the men and women
that fly for business to corporate travelers, that's off by at least fifty percent
in some markets. So you have the same number and then plus more traveling
now than we had before, which means you have a lot more leisure people
taking to the skies and we've ever before, and that's really driven a lot
of this craziness that we've seen so far through the summer from a number standpoint,
as reported by the TSA. So it's not one thing, it's like
everything coming together and the other thing. What about the Canadian wildfires and of
course thunderstorms you can't control. But when I went to yesterday for the unveiling
a departrait of Justice Andy Douglas, it was it was almost dark with the
snow, with the smoot and with the smoke out of Canada. How much
of a factor is that It can be especially problematic in the Diusy Northeast corridor
where we've got a lot of flights operating in a very short, small,
cramped area of space, if you will. And Bill, it reminded me
of being in China with the small and different things where you know, you'd
go three or four days before you'd even see kind of a break in the
sky and see the sun. So it's a very eerie type thing, and
it can be problematic for the airline industry. And of course, one of
the other things it's very interesting here is that there's an ongoing battle between the
head of United Airlines and Pete Boudhajag with regards to flight delays in the Northeast,
and United has been hit especially hard. One of the things that the
Department of Transportation, the FAA and PETE did last fall, they told the
airlines, look, we've got a shortage of air traffic controllers fifty percent in
some areas and some places not as bad the busy Northeast corridor. If we
operate a typical summer schedule are as you're projecting, we're going to see some
significant delays. So the DOT went to the airline thing, would you please
reduce I don't think they said please, but they said, could you reduce
your summer flight schedule and a few of these Northeast airports by ten percent.
Now, Bill, I can tell you my days with Northwest Airlines had somebody
walked in and made that request, we would have listened politely, they would
have left, and we would have laughed for the next twenty minutes. This
time around, though, the airlines said okay, and they have reduced the
flights by ten percent. They are close to it in several of these airports,
and now we're seeing significant delays in some of those airports. And that's
why people like the CEO Kirby for United is like losing his mind because he's
like, wait a minute, you know, you told us we weren't going
to be looking at some of these delays. But in the United's case,
some of it self inflictive. They've got some staffing issues they're kind of fighting
their way through. I think they've got a very aggressive flight schedule that's making
it a little bit more challenging than usual for those individuals to operate those flights.
So we're gonna see where it's going to go. But we do know
that it's going to be a pack next several days the rest of the summer
leading up to Labor Days. And if you're flying, absolutely get to the
airport, as in walking in the front door two hours beforehand. Some people
drive there get there two hours before, it's been thirty minutes trying to find
a bargain spot. And then by the time they get in, some of
the lines are very long and they're actually running trying to make their flight.
You don't want to miss your flight because all the flights are filled. You
miss your flight, it could be days before you get to your destination.
Lastly, I would say this that politicians like Segment Dennison want to make it
political. They look at Pete Buddha Jedge that the railroads are in trouble.
They're crashing and derailing everywhere. The trucks are massive all over the place.
Difficulties there, throw in the FAA problems there is that is Segment right,
that politics plays a part in this. Pete Buddha Jest specifically appears to be
grossly incompetent. Or is that all the factors you spoke of or it's all
of it? Well, it's a lot of it, Bill, And I'll
tell you this, as you know, and you know me very well,
I'm not a fan of the Biden administration at all in any way you know
at all. However, I will quickly say that I appreciate the fact that
they're trying to hold the airline industry accountable. They're doing more than I have
seen any administration do ever in the last thirty to forty years by trying to
hold them account and I appreciate that very much. The problems that are surfacing
right now in the industry are ones that we've had for an extended period of
time, pre Biden, pre Trump. I mean, they go way back
Obama and before that have been there. They've been ignored because the Federal Aviation
Administration tends to get what money falls off the table unfortunate. A lot of
that has to do with they've got a new chief every I don't know,
eighteen months. It seems they've got a revolving door at the top. And
because of that, that agency can never really sustain any success in any one
direction for any period of time because they're immediately changing and somebody else's leaving and
going on. You know it very well that the airline industry is an integral
parts of the nation's economy. It needs to be supported, it needs to
be protected, it needs to be given everything that it possibly needs make sure
that it not only survives and excels, but is ready for the future.
We're talking about commercial aviation doubling in the next ten years. We are so
not ready for that kind of like all the vehicles sold in America must be
ev must be electrical, and we don't have a power grid to support it.
And in twenty thirty we've got a double double and it's not going to
work there either. But Jay Ratliffe, once again, the news coming up
next. But thank you for sharing your viewpoints on the Bill Cunningham Show.
And may you and yours have a wonderful Fourth of July weekend, My friend,
thank you, God bless America. Let's continue with more. That's Jay
Ratliffe, who knows it all. Let's continue Bill Cunningham, the Great America

The judge throws the book and Larry Householder, this is the three o'clock report.
I'm Matt Reeese breaking now. The former speaker of the Ohio House of
Representatives is going to prison, maybe for the rest of his life. US
attorney asked for a long sentence, and a federal judge here in Cincinnati obliged
this afternoon, Larry Householder was caught in a bribery scandal, and now it
appears he's been made an example of riching himself at the expense of the taxpayer.
Householder immediately taken into custody at the Federal Courthouse downtown this past hour.
Reports from the Federal Courthouse in Cincinnati's say Judge Timothy Black told former Ohio House
Speaker Larry Householder that he's the one hurting his family, not the courts.
In today's sentencing hearing, Judge Black sentenced Householder to the maximum twenty years in
prison. Householder was convicted earlier this year as a part of Ohio's biggest public
