WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.439 Billy Cunning Immigrant America welcome this Tuesday, after Union in the tri State, 2 00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:15.080 all hell's breaking loose and the Trump trial in New York City, and each 3 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.920 side's given about two hours, but the prosecution said they need four and a 4 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.519 half hours. Kind of court began this morning when Judge Merschawn turned to the 5 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.679 defense and said are you ready, and defense counsel for Donald Trump said yes, 6 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.120 I'm ready to go. And then he turned to the prosecution and said 7 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.759 are we ready, and the prosecution said yes, we're ready to go. 8 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.399 So the judge is indicated which side he's on. That's a different issue. 9 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.799 We'll talk about that later on, but until then you may know. The 10 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:47.079 Governor, Mike Dewin has called a special session of the General Assembly in order 11 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.920 to put Joe Biden on the ballot. There's a nine to day requirement before 12 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.679 the election that the parties indicated who the nominee is, and the Democratic Convention 13 00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.520 is after ninety days, So shall I say before ninety days, in which 14 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.680 case Joe Biden is not presently on the ballot in the state of Ohio. 15 00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:07.879 So the governor is very concerned, and I say, as one American, 16 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.719 I know the Democrats play these games all the time, such as in Colorado 17 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.040 and Maine, when the Democratic leadership there said, guess what, Trump's not 18 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:22.200 on the ballot. And I would hope that Republicans in Ohio would swallow their 19 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.840 pride and put Joe Biden on the ballot. But when this came up a 20 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.680 few weeks back the General Assembly, the Senate said yes, but the House 21 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.239 said no. And joining you and I now, Sidney Abrams is the state 22 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.840 representative from the west side of town, and Sidney Abrams, welcome again to 23 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.920 the Bill Cunningham Show and Sindy. First of all, you've been called into 24 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:44.319 executive session by the governor in order to pass this one thing, which is 25 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.640 put Joe Biden on the ballot. And so as we sit here this Tuesday 26 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.640 afternoon, can you tell Tony Bender and others what's the procedure the next two 27 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.680 or three days to get the vote done by Thursday or Friday. Please inform 28 00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.239 the American people. Well sounds good. Thanks for having me on again. 29 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.760 The governor, of course, has every right to call this special emergency session. 30 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.680 And in the Constitution, in the Ohio Constitution, Article three, section 31 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:15.520 eight says very clearly that the governor on extraordinary occasions may convene the General Assembly 32 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.479 and he's got to send a proclamation over and in that proclamation he's got to 33 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.319 state exactly what why the special session is called, and no other business can 34 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.319 be discussed except whatever he's named in the proclamation. So what is he named? 35 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.159 Okay, that we must pass legislation ensuring both major party presidential candidates will 36 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:43.080 be on the ballot in Ohio this November, and legislation that would prohibit campaigns 37 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.159 spending by foreign nationals. Very clear. So that's what we're going to discuss 38 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.360 this week and get it done now. The last time this came up in 39 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.240 the General Assembly, it failed in the House but passed in the Senate. 40 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.199 And the reason is the Democrats in the House of Erection presentatives in Columbus. 41 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.080 There's only a few of them. Generally, you can't find a Democrat with 42 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.000 a search ward and there's very few there. But they said, you know 43 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.560 what, we don't like the idea of banning foreign nationals from spending money in 44 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:17.439 our elections. And therefore it went down in flames. And are the two 45 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.520 related. Are you going to vote them separately or are they both together? 46 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.439 In one package. Well, I don't know yet. Government Oversight Committee, 47 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.919 which I do not serve on as meeting as we speak right now, they're 48 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:35.240 in committee. And listen the bottom line with the foreign money, the foreign 49 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.759 nationals have no business playing around in our elections. Period. That's crystal clear. 50 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:46.000 I don't care, honestly, period. There's no discussing it. So 51 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.360 no foreign national money in our not just our elections that's already illegal, but 52 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.759 in any type of ballot initiatives or whatnot. They shouldn't be playing around here. 53 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.360 They don't even live here, so that's very clear. The Senate, 54 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.639 to kind of give you some background, the Senate sent us over a bill 55 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:08.159 and the language in the Senate version conservative groups around Ohio a post. So 56 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:14.199 again, the Catholic Conference opposed it the Ohio Rights of Life, Buckeye firearms, 57 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.360 so they had their reasons for opposing it. So we put the brakes 58 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.600 on and we're going to discuss everything. When we came back, gave everybody 59 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.800 a couple of weeks to set their schedules and show up in Columbus on June 60 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.560 twelfth, but the governor had another idea. So here we are this week, 61 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.839 and procedurally how it's going to work is again, Government Oversight is meeting 62 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.639 today. I'm only speaking for the House. The Senate, they're also having 63 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.920 session today. What they're going to send us, I have no idea, 64 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.920 you know, because I don't serve over in that chamber. But the House. 65 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.920 Again, there's a bill that's being discussed today and Government Oversight, and 66 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:53.480 then we'll have a discussion about it tomorrow, I would imagine in caucus, 67 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.120 and then the vote on Thursday at ten am. That's when it's scheduled for 68 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.560 us. Does your crystal ball tell you this is going to pass? Does 69 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.720 your crystal ball tell you that the Republicans in the House of Representatives will actually 70 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.240 put Joe Biden on the ballot? Yay or nay? That is the big 71 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:14.199 question. Answer the question, yes or no? I say yes, And 72 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.319 I'll tell you why. Let me give you. Let me give you a 73 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:23.720 couple little history lessons taking you back to twenty nineteen and the twenty twenty conventions. 74 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.279 And I use that in plural because in twenty twenty, both the Republican 75 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:33.079 National Convention and the Democrat National Convention were scheduled to hold their conventions after the 76 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.639 deadline in Ohio to get a candidate on the ballot for the president of the 77 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.319 United States. So what did the General Assembly do? Well, they went 78 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:47.240 in and voted to remedy the situation to ensure that both candidates again were going 79 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.360 to be on the ballot in twenty twenty. And that was passed in House 80 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.199 built one sixty six, which was the operating budget a little bit before my 81 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.399 time in July of twenty nineteen. And again it delayed the deadline of both 82 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.399 you know, major party candidates to certify. You know, the reason didn't 83 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.000 pass that way a few weeks ago. Why didn't the House do the same 84 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.040 thing? Well, who knows? Like I said, I'm not. I'm 85 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.439 simply showing up and doing my job, and I am not the one making 86 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.040 all the shot calls. Of course, are you going to vote yes or 87 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.800 no? Say right now Tuesday, are you voting yes or no? I 88 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.000 am voting yes on again the foreign money. Like I said, foreign nationals 89 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.000 have no business planning our elections here in Ohio. Number one, I'm a 90 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.600 guess on that. Putting Biden on the ballot, I'm a guess on that 91 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.600 for a lot of major reasons. But here's what it is. Number One, 92 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:45.360 every single person here in Ohio who is a registered voter should have the 93 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.480 chance to vote for whoever they like in the major party for president period number 94 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:56.040 two. Many Republicans here in Ohio have told us, listen, you need 95 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.639 to get this done. And I'll just name a few Trump's campaigns said, 96 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.560 yes, get him on the ballot, because the Trump campaign, as you 97 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:09.120 can imagine, wants Biden's name on the ballot because then it'll drive conservative vote. 98 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.519 And for example, if Trump has an opponent which is Biden, people 99 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.560 are going to come out to vote for Trump and others on the ballot, 100 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.920 including Bernie Moreno. And you go all the way down the ballot, including 101 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:23.959 our local judges here in Hamilton County. So that helps number two. Senator 102 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.319 jd Vance he I don't say tweet, I guess not X now on X, 103 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.879 he said, and I'm going to quote this. This is what jd 104 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:36.399 Vance said a few days ago on X. This is the right call and 105 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:42.160 it is a reasonable compromise. Republicans keep foreign money out of our state ballot 106 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.800 process, and both major parties nominees will be on the ballot. Period. 107 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.879 And the RP said, listen, get this done. So I am voting 108 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:57.360 again with all of those their opinions in mind, and quite frankly, both 109 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.879 parties, we've done this before in the past, and both major parties deserve 110 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.079 to have a candidate on the ballot. I've read from some state rep that 111 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:09.199 are have some fear of being primaried on the issue of voting in favor of 112 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.439 Joe Biden getting on the ballot. And I understand that that someone in bugh 113 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.879 Cyrus might be primaried as a Republican because you so and so voted to put 114 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.160 Joe Biden on the ballot. Now, among conservative circles, that should be 115 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.879 it should be something that's a given. But in reality, Joe Biden is 116 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.919 so despised by so many politically that to assist him when the Democratic Convention was 117 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.159 set at a date within the ninety days, which indicates not on the ballot, 118 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.159 have you heard from some Republicans are going to vote against this because they 119 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.519 don't want to be primaried with the idea that I voted to put Joe Biden 120 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.279 on the ballot, because if he's not on the ballot, I can't conceive 121 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.639 of some federal court within a few weeks saying he must be put on the 122 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.440 ballot. It's going to happen anyway. The issue is who does it. 123 00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:00.799 But politically, can you understand how some small town Republican would be primaried on 124 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.600 the idea that they voted to put Joe Biden on the ballot, who, 125 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.200 in some rural areas is considered to be close to Lucifer himself. I mean, 126 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.080 I I guess you know. Here's my thing with Biden's look, I 127 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.360 mean, he's not even fit to be our president. So that's a whole 128 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.039 nother story for another time. But but the fact that someone is going to 129 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:26.960 primary an incumbent of the General Assembly, here we go. Let's let's rewind 130 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.039 back to March. This is ridiculous for doing your job. At the end 131 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.279 of the day. This is simply procedural, that's all it is. It's 132 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.600 from you know, X amount of days to X amount of days. We've 133 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.679 done it before in the past, for both the RNC and the DNC, 134 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.600 and I just don't understand why this time. It's like, oh my gosh, 135 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.200 you're going to be, you know, burnt up like a crisp in 136 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.840 hell because you literally have put someone on the ballot, which quite frankly if 137 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.840 Trump campaign is asking for this, then why are we not? Why are 138 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.919 we not listening to that? I just understand, I just don't. All 139 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.159 right, let's talk to a broader issue. There are some angry at Republicans 140 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:11.399 because it appears that not much is getting done in Columbus because of the race 141 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.080 for the speaker. That we have a present speaker who is going to be 142 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.480 opposed by Huffman, and Huffman is, shall we say, very aggressive in 143 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.679 becoming the next speaker, and a lot of things aren't being passed because of 144 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.279 the fights among the Republicans. I often said that on City Council in Cincinnati, 145 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.159 there's no Republicans or Charter rights. Therefore the Democrats fight with each other. 146 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.519 And now in Columbus there's a fight for the speakership, and between the 147 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.000 two warring factions, not a lot is getting done. How would you respond 148 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.519 to the fact that some argue that the Republican Party is not a governance party. 149 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.000 What it is is an advocacy party, and that the governance of the 150 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:54.759 state is suffering because of all the fights for the next spe speakership. Well, 151 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.080 I will say, going back to our party. You know, the 152 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.799 Republican Party Listen. Even going back to market, all the primaries that many 153 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:09.960 of us face and most of us won by a large margin, the infighting 154 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.960 has to stop. Okay, what my people want here in District twenty nine, 155 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.840 because I've talked to them, because I knockdoors and I'm at community events 156 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.960 and I'm out and about and I'm accessible, and people tell me, listen, 157 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.840 Cindy, we want you to get up to Columbus and govern. We 158 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.679 want you to get up to Columbus and figure out this property tax situation. 159 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.240 To figure out again. I'm on the Finance Committee. We passed a ton 160 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.399 of great things in our last budget bill, including historic tax cuts for ohiolands. 161 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.559 And you know what, we're going to continue to march down that road 162 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.799 again. Fair school funding, fully funding our public schools, also giving the 163 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.720 ed choice voucher expansion to our folks that you know prefer private school. Listen, 164 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.200 there was so much in there. Two hundred and fifty million dollars for 165 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.080 our public safety. Are police officers, are firefighters? I mean, you 166 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.960 want to talk about a lot of policy that last General last year in this 167 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.120 General Assembly, we had a lot done, but nobody wants to talk about 168 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.720 that. I guess they want to talk about infighting right now, I will 169 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.960 say, I'll admit there was infighting. Hell I was a victim of it 170 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.159 in this last primary. Right, they spent serious money to defeat you with 171 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.080 a bunch of lies and distortions, much like Jeanie Schmidt and for those who 172 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.600 won, because let's face it, the Republican Party spent money to defeat Republicans 173 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.960 in the primaries. And that's kind of stupid. It's ridiculous, It's totally 174 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.399 ridiculous. Some of my own colleagues spent money to try to beat me down 175 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.600 here. And you know what, I thank god that the voters saw through 176 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.200 the lives and the bs down here because they did. And at the end 177 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.360 of the day, again, like I said, this infighting needs to stop. 178 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.039 It really does. We need to get to work and govern. Are 179 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:56.480 you ready for their big question? Yes? By Friday. By Friday of 180 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.200 this week, will President Joe Biden be on the ballot to give even Democrats 181 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:07.399 the opportunity of voting for a frail unbecoming US president. Are you going to 182 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.279 say, put your coyones on the line. As a Friday of this week, 183 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.840 would Joe Biden be on the ballot, yay or nay. I'm voting 184 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:18.960 yes. But like I told you, I didn't ask you that. I 185 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.440 said, what about the other Republicans? I didn't ask you. I said, 186 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.159 I have no idea what they're going to do. Who knows, I 187 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.960 don't know. What does your crystal ball say? Last time a few weeks 188 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.399 ago and went down in flames and Dwaine got all urinated off and then he 189 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.440 called a special session to get you back into Columbus. You're only there a 190 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.279 few months a year, So just give me a yes or no. Will 191 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:45.000 Joe Biden be on the ballot on Friday? You know the crystal ball, 192 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.679 I would say yes. We have to come together as Republicans to get something 193 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.120 done for the people of Ohio because that's what we're sent to Columbus for. 194 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:58.399 How about Republicans spending millions of dollars in primaries to defeat Republicans. You're coming 195 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.960 ridiculous, ridiculous, and it needs to end again. We have to come 196 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.799 together because otherwise we're going to lose the majority. And I'm going to say 197 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.679 that again, We're going to lose the majority in Ohio if we don't come 198 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:15.200 together and start working together. Period we're going to be in the minority. 199 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.519 Well, we'll see what happens, because I know there's a whole group of 200 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.559 Republicans in the House, some of whom contacted me saying there's no way they're 201 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.399 voting for Joe Biden. They perceive this as a vote for Joe Biden and 202 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.879 they're not going to do it. And if it happens again that way, 203 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.960 so be it that a federal court's going to put them on the ballot anyway. 204 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.600 But I want them on the ballot because I want even Democrats to have 205 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.159 a choice, and we can't play the democratic games like in Colorado and Maine, 206 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.159 which kept Trump off of the ballot. In of Ohio, a Bellweather 207 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.039 state, it doesn't allow the President of the United States to be on their 208 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.200 ballot. That's a problem. And so we'll see what happens. But your 209 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.559 crystal ball is unclear about whether it's going to happen or not. Correct. 210 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.600 No, I think it's going to happen. I really do. I think 211 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.519 we're going to come up there and you know what, have discussions and together 212 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.240 and vote to do this. I mean, listen, we went crazy when 213 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.519 Colorado did this to Trump, and I will say. The state of Alabama, 214 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.480 the great state of Alabama. They just voted. They are Republicans, 215 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.879 totally conservative down there. They just voted to put Biden on the ballot. 216 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:22.080 So again, we just need to again governed. We need to govern and 217 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.879 do our jobs. That's what I'm focused on doing. Lastly, are you 218 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.240 going to give the Bengals one hundreds of millions of dollars for a new stadium? 219 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.000 Oh my god, we haven't even discussed that yet. Well, let's 220 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.679 talk about it. We got the brag Bengals. You got the Bengals. 221 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:41.159 They were According to Alicia Reese that the state of Ohio has five billion dollars 222 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.919 in extra money in its savings account, five billion dollars, and that's a 223 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.440 consequence a few hundred million should come to the Bengals. Yes or no? 224 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.399 Okay? First of all, yes, I hear that we have the rainy 225 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.399 day Fund. Everybody likes to talk about. But you want to know why 226 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.799 we have the rainy day Fund Because we have made good financial sound decisions in 227 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:07.919 the state of Ohio. That's why we have the budget. We allocate things 228 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.360 every single year. I guess to answer my question, yes or no, 229 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.360 one hundreds of millions to the Bengals. Well, world consider that. We 230 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.960 will consider it. See what they're asking for. But you know, the 231 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.480 county, this is the county thing. They need to have a discussion. 232 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.679 I'm not a commissioner. They need to have their discussions first, and if 233 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.840 the state can come in, not with the whole tab of course. But 234 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.240 again, I think it's a good thing to have the Bengals here. Do 235 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.639 you not agree? I think it's a great thing because NFL is the dominant 236 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:38.039 franchise and the all of professional sports. But I think helping the Bengals a 237 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.639 little bit with some tax dollars makes some sense to me. But the franchise 238 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.600 itself is not worth about three to four billion dollars. And every time I 239 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.879 look up, they signed some new deal with Netflix and now they're going to 240 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:55.159 get twenty five billion dollars to divide up among all the platforms to take NFL 241 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.639 games. That needs to be considered also. But Sydney Abras will see what 242 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:02.440 happens. You're on the record, you're saying Biden on the ballot, that's 243 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.960 your crystal ball as a Friday. We'll see what happens. Sidney Abrons, 244 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.279 Thank you once again for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. May God bless 245 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.680 you and God bless America. Thank you, Willie. We'll do it again, 246 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.400 thank you. Let's continue with more. She's on the record. Biden 247 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.359 will be on the ballot. Don't act like democrats. For God's sakes, 248 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.240 put them on the ballot. Let the fools vote for him. That's what 249 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.880 I say. Let's continue with more Bill Cunningham plus my further predictions about the 250 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:29.839 Bengals. I'm sorry my prediction about the Reds. As you know, I 251 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.920 predicted they would sweep the Dodgers and Tony Bender many other snickered, completely snickered 252 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.880 at me. Now who's snicker? And now Tony, Who's snicker? And 253 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:44.119 now talk about that further with segment on news radio seven hundred WLW. Hey, 254 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.599 if you're listening to me right now, I have one thing every business needs
