00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:49.759
now by Billy Cunningham to Grant America. Welcome, Welcome this Tuesday afternoon to

12
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:54.719
the tri state Red Spaceball kicks off
about five forty tonight and in Town of

13
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.600

I'm off on Thursday because of Red Spaceball,

14
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.759
but trying to get back on track
and more. But another issue that

15
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.760
has percolated, and I have texted
it with my good friend Chris Smitherman several

16
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.959
times about this issue that over the
past couple of years, the city of

17
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.200
Cincinnati has received literally hundreds of millions
of dollars in so called pandemic relief from

18
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.439
Republicans and Democrats in order to be
the bridge over the troubled waters. And

19
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.719
Chris Smitherman sent me a column about
how the money was spent or how it

20
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.560
wasn't spent, what it means for
the pension and more. And Chris Smitherman,

21
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.680
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham shown. Chris, can you lay out

22
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:38.959
for the American people this Tuesday afternoon
exactly about how much money in freebees were

23
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.560
sent to the city of Cincinnati because
of the Trump slash Biden pandemic relief and

24
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.359
then what it means for the pension
system, if anything. So about how

25
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:56.079
much money was spent within round dollars
sent un I'm gonna say, probably in

26
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.239
if I can remember, I'm recalling
it, in the hundreds of millions,

27
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.239
just a check in the mail,
check in the mail deck in the mail,

28
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:08.159
check in the mail. The pension
plan, Willie, is the most

29
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:14.639
important issue that the city is facing. It's not a sexy issue, but

30
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.360
it is percular. It is perculating. As you indicated in two thousand and

31
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.719
four and two thousand and five when
I was elected. As you know,

32
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.199
I'm a financial planner, I looked
at the pension directly, and at that

33
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:34.199
time the unfunded liability was eighty million. That has grown to eight hundred million.

34
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.199
So fifteen years ago it was eighty
million, now it's almost a billion,

35
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.879
eight hundred million dollars. That's correct. We are the only city in

36
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:53.919
the state of Ohio who manages a
retirement system. Most cities have Purrs as

37
00:02:53.960 --> 00:03:00.919
an example. And so what has
been happening is many councils, many mayors,

38
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:09.319
democratic controlled council's. Democratic mayors have
been balancing the city budget by underfunding

39
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:16.719
the retirement so as the market performed, instead of them putting in the required

40
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.759
contribution, they would put less money
in if the market performed. When the

41
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.560
market did not perform, like last
year he had the bond market and the

42
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:32.240
equity markets underperformed, the city would
not put extra money in. So they

43
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.199
were hitting it on both sides.
When John Curry was elected, one of

44
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.520
the things I asked him to do. I said, listen, I'll support

45
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.560
you, but you've got to put
time and energy in saving the pension.

46
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.719
And one of the big things that
he did and I agreed with, was

47
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:52.199
coming up with a required contribution,
which is sixteen point two five of our

48
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.800
payroll that must go into the pension
no matter what. That was a good

49
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:02.039
step in the right direction. The
problem is that as this market underperforms and

50
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.080
we send out ten million dollars a
month around about number two hour retirees,

51
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.639
which are about four thousand of them, we are not able to keep up

52
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.439
with the seven point five percent,
which I call an aggressive target for the

53
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:23.439
pension to get every year compounded,
and so every time we missed that percentage,

54
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:29.959
which we did last year, it
dramatically impacts that unfunded liability. The

55
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.920
people who are responsible for this bill
are the taxpayers of Cincinnati, because we

56
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.079
are responsible for the unfunded liability.
We have about three hundred and forty six

57
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.399
million dollars that comes in from taxpayers
and we've got an eight hundred million dollars

58
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.839
unfunded liability. So at some point
the taxpayers are going to look at this

59
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:54.720
because our taxes are going to have
to go higher. So employees themselves who

60
00:04:54.759 --> 00:05:00.639
are who are depending on this check. We've made a said that we were

61
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.959
going to give them these dollars over
after they gave us thirty five years,

62
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:09.879
and their beneficiaries. Because some of
these employees they've passed away, they have

63
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.480
a reduced benefit to their spouses,
and now they're on the hook for any

64
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.560
changes that the city must make.
This is what infensed me build when they

65
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.959
start talking about the streetcar and saying
that they were going to use dollars to

66
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.439
operate a streetcar while underfunding the pension. So this is important because what the

67
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.480
streetcar supporters used to tell us is
they would confuse the public by saying,

68
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.279
oh, Smillerman is talking about capital
dollars. It has nothing to do with

69
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.560
the operation of the city. I
would always come back and say, you've

70
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.879
got to operate a people, You've
got to turn the lights on. So

71
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.240
we're spending five million dollars a year
to operate the streetcar for people who do

72
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.360
not write it, when we should
be putting that five million as an example

73
00:05:53.720 --> 00:06:00.759
force our Censinari retirement system. This
is a huge issue because eventually debt rating

74
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.439
agencies are going to hone in on
this they're going to start downgrading our debt

75
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:10.319
number one. As this market doesn't
perform this year, two consecutive years,

76
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.879
maybe three years, maybe we go
into a recession, a full blown recession.

77
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.079
The reality is we're not going to
get that seven point five percent target.

78
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.759
And I'm sharing with you right now
this is something with no exaggeration,

79
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:27.399
bill that could put the city into
bankruptcy. This has nothing to do with

80
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.160
the police department because they have a
separate retirement, and it has nothing to

81
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.040
do with fire. It's asked me, our asked me workers and our coworkers,

82
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.279
which make up every other employee except
police and fire. Can you tell

83
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:45.079
me why the city of Cincinnati low
many decades ago? God, somehow in

84
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.680
a the pension business. How is
that possible? Well, the city our

85
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.639
forefathers, just like they talked about
the three hundred miles of railroads that we

86
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.720
own that you know, many people
now are advocating that we sell, which

87
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:04.040
I am absolutely again that they thought
that we would do a better job taking

88
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:11.000
care of our employees, meaning we
we employ them. They give us thirty

89
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.240
to thirty five years of our life. We say we're going to take care

90
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.160
of you, and we did not
want that to be a state obligation.

91
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:24.920
That essentially was their philosophy. What
they did not anticipate were counsels. And

92
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:30.800
I have to say this because their
politics involved over fifty years of democratically controlled

93
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.720
counsels in a mayor's office that said, we are willing to balance this budget

94
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:40.120
on the backs of the employees.
And so this is when it gets tricky,

95
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.439
because if we were if we were
responsible, and we were making the

96
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.959
contributions to the CRS system, we
wouldn't have the problem. This is what

97
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:53.839
insenses me about asking me workers they
keep voting for Democrats while the Democrats underfund

98
00:07:53.879 --> 00:08:01.600
their most important obligations, their own
retirement. No sense of saying, Okay,

99
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.240
the chickens are going to come home
to roost, and eighty million dollars

100
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.680
deficit is bad, and eight hundred
million dollar deficit is crippling, And there's

101
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.680
no sense on this council that they're
going to say things like, you know

102
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.399
what we gotta put we gotta start
putting in large amounts of money from this

103
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.240
freebee money. I would assume some
of the freebee money should have been spent

104
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.839
on shoring up the pension system,
and that wasn't done because that's not very

105
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.600
sexy. What is sexy, however, is opening up a new community center

106
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.919
or they can't even open up the
swimming pools in two weeks, don't have

107
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:43.120
enough lifeguards, so the city is
living on borrowed time. Can a city

108
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.480
can file bankruptcy? Correct? Absolutely
a city can file bankruptcy. And guess

109
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.720
what. Our police department some fifteen
to twenty years ago saw that their pension

110
00:08:54.799 --> 00:09:00.519
was being underfunded, sued the city
successfully in the city had to issue pension

111
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.759
bonds and put in about forty four
million dollars into the police pension. So

112
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.720
the answer your question is yes,
the city can file bankruptcy. Look at

113
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.399
what's happening in the state of Illinois
in Chicago with the citizens of Cincinnati don't

114
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.600
understand it. We aren't far behind
them, meaning we are the only city

115
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.200
in the state of Ohio who has
this crisis, and as they continue to

116
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.080
just not deal with it, kind
of just look away from it, we're

117
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.639
going to continue to have the problems
that we're experiencing. We have an election

118
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.279
though in November, and so citizens
who are listening to this interview you can

119
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.639
do something about it. One is
only vote for people who are going to

120
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.720
solve the big problem, which is
the pension. If you are an employee

121
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.159
that lives in the City of Cincinnati, if you're a retiree that lives in

122
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.399
the City of Cincinnati, why would
you vote for someone who's underfunding your retirement

123
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.320
for you and your spouse. That
doesn't make any sense to me. And

124
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.759
so citizens and citizen need to know
how to vote. They should never vote

125
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.879
for nine people for city council.
It's up to nine, and you just

126
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.159
want to vote for a majority.
Five of those members of council that are

127
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.639
running, meaning not those who are
currently serving. Necessarily five strong, fiscally

128
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.960
conservative council members need to be elected
in November, so they put their pen

129
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.120
and paper and solve this major issue. I don't want to come back on

130
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.159
here, Bill some ten years from
now. I tell you, I told

131
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.080
you so. What I want to
do is have elected officials who say,

132
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.559
I'm going to be responsible. I'm
gonna write this ship right now. We're

133
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.080
going to issue whatever debt, not
ninety four million dollars, which is what

134
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.600
they did to build the street car. Not we're going to talk about building

135
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.919
the second phase of the street car
to go up to the University of Cincinnati.

136
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.279
We need to solve our pension problem
so that citizens taxes and our corporate

137
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.080
partners have as sureties that their taxes
won't go out of control. Christopher Smiller,

138
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.720
I want to deal with one other
collateral matter, and because you're a

139
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.080
creature of the city of Cincinnati,
you're in your family, your mom and

140
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.960
dad, number of kids, you've
been there, you live in the city,

141
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.320
you work in the city, you're
you're there. And one of the

142
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.840
issues that continue to percolate is the
functionality of the public school system. Your

143
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.320
kids mainly went to public schools.
I can recall at Walnut he had some

144
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:28.080
kids graduate a great education, and
when the test results come back, it

145
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.720
appears that the great majority of schools
in the city of Cincinnati are not functioning

146
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.960
at grade level, not even close. In fact, it's getting worse.

147
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.480
Other than the city finances, which
you claim are heading towards bankruptcy, is

148
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:48.440
there a bankruptcy of type of public
education at schools, especially those outside of

149
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.679
Walnut that is also not being addressed
because now you have a brand new superintendent

150
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:58.159
seemingly being attacked by the by the
teachers and by others. Who work for

151
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:03.600
the school system that don't like the
new superintendent. And so I'm looking at

152
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.960
this situation and if city gets as
the city gets in difficult waters, it's

153
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:13.080
bad for the entire region. What
is the functionality of a quality education and

154
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:18.360
the City of Cincinnati public school system, especially those outside of Walnut. So

155
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.399
first three of my four children,
it might have had five children, but

156
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.759
three of my four boys graduated from
Walnut, as you know, and one

157
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.279
graduated from the School for Creative and
Performing Arts. My daughter is in Catholic

158
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.679
schools. She goes to Seaton High
School, which I'm very proud of.

159
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:45.559
Our Cincinnati public schools are failing,
period. And most Americans who have children

160
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:50.279
select where they live based on the
school that they go to. And so

161
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.279
when you have a Walnut, a
School for Creative Performing Arts, a Clark

162
00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:00.639
Monastori, you know you have a
very small number of high schools wherein say,

163
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.440
hey, I want to take my
kid here, and I'm gonna put

164
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.840
the education, their education in the
future of that school into my kid's life,

165
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.559
meaning you and you and I know. The way to get to a

166
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.679
middle class status is what is to
get a good education, not have a

167
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.159
child, not have a child early
in life. These basic steps get you

168
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.799
to that place where where you can
move into the middle class. So this

169
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:30.399
is really huge. Our Cincinnati public
schools need major reforms period. We have

170
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:35.519
to have a school board that cares
more about the kids than they do about

171
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.879
the staff. And now let me
also share with you, is that my

172
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:45.679
wife a public school teacher, My
mother retired from Cincinnati public schools. Four

173
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.960
of my five children went to Cincinnati
public schools, and I am a graduate

174
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.519
of Cincinnati Public schools. So I
am the best person to have a conversation

175
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.960
with about Cincinnati public schools because I'm
vested in it and to tell you for

176
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.000
me to be on your radio show
telling you there are major reforms needed in

177
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.240
our cent Ni public schools, they
are failing. Many of the schools are

178
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.000
failing, and they're failing our kids. And we have a school board at

179
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:15.919
times that spend more time talking about
Donald Trump than they do about the business

180
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.759
that they're in. And that's the
problem. If you have a school board

181
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.840
that will talk about a street car
and whether you should build a street car,

182
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.080
then they do about what they're there
for, which is making sure that

183
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:33.320
they educate thirty seven thousand approximately kids, and seventy percent of those are African

184
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:39.159
American kids. And they're feeling our
babies every single day by being distracted on

185
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.919
things that they shouldn't even be talking
about. It's a weapon of mass distraction.

186
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.440
And I'm watching one of the Cambell
shows last night. I don't agree

187
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.960
with him politically a lot. That
is President Barack wrus saying Obama who said

188
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.559
in twenty o eight, that's the
best reparation reparation program, it's a good

189
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.399
quality public education for black kids.
And he said that's how to repair the

190
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.600
damage is caused by discrimination and by
slavery is to have a good public school

191
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.000
system that starts a young boy or
a young girl off with the right attributes

192
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.960
of life. And I can't think
of any any school that any large urban

193
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.799
area that is a good public school
system. And people should be outraged and

194
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:26.759
they're not. President Barack Obama and
our former first Lady Michelle Obama clearly have

195
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:33.440
it right here. Period. Let
me say that I will challenge the school

196
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.840
board right now for vocational education.
Yes, so I don't want to I

197
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:43.039
don't want to talk about the issue
without giving you at least one solution Our

198
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:50.279
Cincinnati Public school Board continues to fail
us by not executing vocational education in our

199
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.679
schools. They are afraid to bring
in Corporate America because they say they don't

200
00:15:54.679 --> 00:16:00.480
have the education. They have thirty
years of experience, but we them to

201
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.159
get some certification to teach a class. They're going to have to realize that

202
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:10.360
we need our bricklayers, we need
our carpenters, we need our iron workers,

203
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:18.159
We need men and women who build
things teaching vocational education in our school

204
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:23.279
system. We need our barbers in
their teaching people how to be a barber,

205
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.679
how to be a hairdresser, how
to do nails. I don't care

206
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:32.840
what the vocation is our suit.
Our school system has to understand that a

207
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.799
majority of their children aren't going to
college. And that's okay because an iron

208
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:42.080
worker makes six figures, right,
an electrician makes six figures and they don't

209
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:48.679
have all that student loan debt.
Our school board continues to fill our children

210
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.440
by not doing something they easily can
do, and that is roll out a

211
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:59.480
very aggressive vocational education for our thirty
seven thousand kids that are in Cincinnati Public

212
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.600
schools. Failing, I see difficulties
ahead. But Chris Smitherman once again,

213
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.920
thank you for coming on the Bill
Cunningham Show. Sound the alarm, and

214
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.680
it's up to leadership presently to fix
the big problem with the pension but also

215
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:14.799
the big problem of lack of equality
education. Chris Smitherman, once again,

216
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.440
thank you for coming on the Bill
County. Yes, go ahead, Chris.

217
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.839
People can follow me. They can
follow me on this pension issue at

218

219
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.359
is in the military, who you
know, serving our country Air Force.

220
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:37.119
It is his twenty first birthday today. Happy birthday, Caleb Smitherman, twenty

221
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.039
one years old. Brother, you
remember when you were twenty one? Barrel

222
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.240

country. Thank you, Caleb. I'm

223
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.920
gonna make Caleb Smitherman the Bill Cunningham
Citizen of the Day. Thank you for

224
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.160

in your company? Consider this for the

234
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:40.680
first time in decades, there's a
better of you drive. I Billy Cunningham,

235
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.440
the Great American and coming up after
one o'clock today it is Don Dixon

236
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.599
for some reason has been in office
like twenty years, Butler County Commissioner,

237
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.160
and I've not heard from him,
but I put a call in to him

238
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:53.680
because had a breakfast with him about
a year or two ago with Richard K.

239
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:59.000
Jones, and he put out a
miss of a message about a little

240
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.359
known center called the Tax Commissioner of
the State of Ohio. And I said,

241
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.599
well, Don, what's it about? And the actual collecting real estate

242
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:12.240
taxes is something the tax commissioner begins, but posting the value of property and

243
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.680
so this isn't a very sexy topic, but it's going to cost all of

244
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:21.279
us a bunch of money because the
tax commissioner sets the value of real estate.

245
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:25.119
Now you may know, in the
past year, the value of real

246
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:29.319
estate, especially residential real estate,
is skyrocketed. It'd be great if someone

247
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:33.839
could sell their home then live in
status and not buy some other joint because

248
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.680
as a consequence, you have prices
going up twenty thirty and you can take

249
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.559
advantage of that and not have to
live in some other place. But thus

250
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.160
not the way most of us live. So it is somewhat understated to say

251
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:51.119
that when the Tax Commissioner of the
State of Ohio, beginning with twenty twenty

252
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:56.400
four property tax bills that go out
in February, have ordered and across the

253
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:03.359
board forty percent increase in the values
of real estate residentially. The lowest of

254
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.400
each county is about twenty one percent
and the highest is forty two percent,

255
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.480
with Butler County leading the way with
forty two percent increases. So I know

256
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:17.880
lawmakers like Cindy Abrahams and Jennie Schmidt
and others are on their way to wash

257
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.200
on the way to Columbus, Ohio
now to confront the idea that wait a

258
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.000
minute, even though the real estate
may have gone up somewhat in value,

259
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.319
it's an unrealized profit. I've lived
in the same home for about twenty one

260
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.680
years. I would imagine you live
in a house or an apartment been there

261
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.640
for a long time. An apartment
dwell is to pay the real estate taxes

262
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.599
indirectly in the form of rent,
because the amount of rent that you pay

263
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.000
is directly tied to the amount of
real estate taxes paid by the owner of

264
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.519
the building. So if you live
in a home, you can look forward

265
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:55.119
to a twenty to forty percent increase
of the real estate taxes you'll pay starting

266
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:59.119
in February next year. And the
values are being set now as I speak,

267
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:04.720
and she is going to use the
values of real estate based upon what

268
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:11.480
houses could sell for last year,
which which is and was a huge number.

269
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:12.799
So I know Summer saying, I
wait a minute, let's not do

270
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:17.039
that. What we need to do
is average it out over three years,

271
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:21.039
which does still be a huge tax
increase. Of his average out over three

272
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:25.000
years, the number is still going
to be unbelievable. So Don Dixon will

273
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.559
be here after two o'clock to talk
about that. Then after two o'clock today

274
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.279
will be Moegger on what's going to
happen on Thursday when the NFL schedule is

275
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:38.839
released. There's some speculation nationally that
the Bengals have to play at the Chiefs

276
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:42.640
at some point with the schedule.
And I would think Bengals that the Chiefs

277
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:48.640
would be at sexy Thursday night debut
of the twenty twenty three football season.

278
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.200
But maybe the Philadelphia Eagles might have
something to say about that. But nonetheless,

279
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:55.799
so Mode's going to break that down. Plus, the Reds are back

280
00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:00.519
in town. They had a less
than a stellar season less last year,

281
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.880
and of course this year things haven't
been the best. I think they've won

282
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.039
fourteen games so far, so they
got to get it on and start doing

283
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:14.680
better. But secondly, the national
media is a flutter with the idea of

284
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:19.359
what's going to happen this afternoon when
Joe Biden sits down with congressional leaders two

285
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:23.319
from the House and two from the
Senate. Does anyone think and that this

286
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.640
was something that was pointed out during
Bill Clinton's era, who was very bright,

287
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.920
but of course, of course I
didn't care much for his policies.

288
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:36.279
But nonetheless, you're sitting in the
Oval office, and for one hour you'll

289
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:40.079
deal with what's happening on the southern
border. For the next hour, you'll

290
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:42.960
deal with the North Korean sending missiles
over the top of Japan. Then in

291
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:48.640
the next hour you got to deal
with Iran sending drones to kill American soldiers

292
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:51.559
in a rock. And then the
next hour you have a phone call from

293
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.519
McCrone saying they struck a deal with
China to have a special trade relationship with

294
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.680
China on the so called Silk Road, and America's out of the mix.

295
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.279
Then you're going to call from El
Salvador with the leader from El Salvador taking

296
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.480
saying, how come you're enticing our
young males to leave our country, destroying

297
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.599
the future of this land of ours
El Salvador. So every hour on the

298
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:17.200
hour, throughout the day, and
it doesn't stop at ten pm at night.

299
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:22.640
The president is the top of the
pyramid of a four million person federal

300
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.720
government that has the armed forces,
all the military alliances, You have all

301
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:32.000
the corporate all the bureaucrats, etc. Working strong, and so you need

302
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:37.960
a president who is supple and bright
and intelligent and knows personally the issues in

303
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:42.440
and out, so he's not taken
advantage of. Now this president Joe Biden,

304
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.480
is being taken advantage of. By
that, I mean the following that

305
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:52.440
there's about three thousand key positions in
the executive branch of government, three thousand

306
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.440
important jobs, and they're filled generally
within the first six months of a new

307
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:03.160
administration. And if you have direction
from the top, the administrative state,

308
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.240
which is the fourth branch of government, is going to operate in ways and

309
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.200
concert with what the president demands.
When you have a president who, shall

310
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:18.000
we say, is cognitively impaired,
a president I couldn't solve Rubik's cube,

311
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.079
a president who cannot play checkers or
chess, a president that is losing his

312
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.799
mind because of age, he said, two brand aneurisms. And worse,

313
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.880
we have a president that shows up
for work sometime around ten am and puts

314
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.279
a lit on things by three or
four PM, who spends most of his

315
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:41.559
time in Delaware. You have an
administrative state completely out of control. That

316
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:48.400
means that the bureaucrats, the Marxist, the leftist, the liberals in charge

317
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:53.160
of the administrative state are deciding for
themselves what to do and what not to

318
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:59.000
do. I'm looking to my left
here at CNN. The so called federal

319
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.319
government government Department of Energy wants to
crack down on people using gas drills.

320
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:10.240
They want to crack down on people
who want to use the leaf blowers.

321
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.200
You can't cook out anymore, Barbecuing
is going to be out the door.

322
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:18.759
You have all these bureaucrats saying you
can't do these things anymore because we don't

323
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.119
think they should be done. If
that truly represented the viewpoints of the President,

324
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.839
it wouldn't happen in the first place. The chiefestaff and the President would

325
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.359
say, the Department of Interior,
if somebody wants to grill out, let

326
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.839
him grill out. You know,
well, we're not going to stop him.

327
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.240
Joe Biden would asked the question walking
away from a podium, said no,

328
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.319
he likes to grill out. But
the administrative state is completely out of

329
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.160
control. No one's in charge of
the Department of Justice, and nobody's in

330
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.640
charge of the FBI because the president
is not mentally capable. It is a

331
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:55.519
meant to believe that Joe Biden is
actually running the presidency. He's not running

332
00:25:55.559 --> 00:26:02.519
the presidency. He's to them to
the administrative state. Biden is cognitively impaired.

333
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:04.920
You can't set up a meeting with
him to get direction. And it's

334
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:11.319
a feature of the administrative state,
completely out of control. So in this

335
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.400
mix, if you listen to me
a few days ago, you heard my

336
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:19.400
die tribe about the fact that Joe
Biden is not going to be the nominee

337
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.880
of the Democrat Party in a year
and a half from now, simply not

338
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.640
going to happen. I'm old enough
to remember a time in March of nineteen

339
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:33.000
sixty eight when Lyndon Baines Johnson,
at the height of the Vietnam War with

340
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.440
New Hampshire had taken place, and
he beat Jean McCarthy. But nonetheless,

341
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:44.119
it was also a time when Robert
F. Kennedy Senior said I'm getting into

342
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:49.000
I'm getting into the race, and
I'm gonna run against Lyndon Baines Johnson.

343
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:53.559
It was a shock. I think
the date was March thirty first, in

344
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.039
which he said, you know what, I will not seek nor will I

345
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:04.279
accept the nomination of my party for
another term as you're president. He decided

346
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:10.400
he was done that mentally, emotionally, he was done. He couldn't do

347
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:14.640
it anymore, and he stepped down. It was a shock. At some

348
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:22.319
point, probably around December or January, doctor Joe Biden or others are going

349
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.880
to go to Joe Biden and say, mister President, you cannot do the

350
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.799
job and you've got to step down. He's not set up a campaign office.

351
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.359
He's not raising money for the twenty
twenty four race. He announced in

352
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.359
a video with many different cuts of
one type or another, that he was

353
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:41.920
going to be He's gonna run for
reelection. Guess what, He's not going

354
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.599
to run for reelection. In fact, he can't run for reelection. He's

355
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:51.119
one hair sniff away from completely stepping
aside. He's one tumbled down the steps

356
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.839
of Air Force one. He's one
brain freeze away from actually not being able

357
00:27:55.839 --> 00:28:00.200
to function whatsoever. But the media
continues to cover up for him. Goes

358
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:04.240
they've perceived the option as Donald Trump. So write it down. Today's State

359
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:10.279
May nine, twenty twenty three,
The Great American says that Joe Biden will

360
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.200
not be the nominee of the Democrat
Party for reelection, but when he steps

361
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:18.240
down as a candidate, he will
not step down from the presidency. He

362
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:23.759
knows how unpopular the VP is.
Kamala Harris. So that means that he's

363
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:30.119
going to stay in office and play
out the string until Gavin Newsom most likely

364
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:34.720
or other Democrats step up Bernie Sanders
and says I will pick up the banner

365
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:40.319
and run forward. Right now,
there's a stealth campaign being conducted by Gavin

366
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:44.440
Newsom, the governor of California,
who has told the insiders, I want

367
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:48.200
to run. He's got a campaign
in Abstenia, but does not want to

368
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.000
run as long as Joe Biden pretends
as if he's functioning, and the fact

369
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.559
that he won't talk to the media
is a clear indication does not have the

370
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.359
mental acuity he's hoping. The Democrats
are hoping that Ump is the nominee of

371
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.599
the Republican Party sometime in July,
which now believe in or not only a

372
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:11.759
couple of months away. The prosecutor
in Fulton County, Fanny Wallace, is

373
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:18.359
going to uh indict Donald Trump for
a multitude of offenses, and at some

374
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:23.240
point between now in September, Jack
Smith, the Democrat appointed by Joe Biden

375
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:29.799
and Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, is going to issue indictments against Donald

376
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:34.720
Trump based upon January sixth, and
also based upon what happened on Marlatto,

377
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:38.799
the Mara Lago raids. He's going
to get indicted and they're gonna hold an

378
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:45.359
abstantia all the trials until after the
November twenty four election, And so we're

379
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.880
gonna have the nominee of the Republican
Party is likely to be Donald Trump,

380
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:55.400
who's raising fifteen to twenty million dollars
a month in contributions under multiple indictments from

381
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:59.319
city states and from the FEDS.
That's what's going to happen. It's going

382
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.440
to occur, and the best thing
he can do is stay in office.

383
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.079
Stay in office so that he can
use that as a fundraiser. Were blused

384
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.200
to live in interesting times, but
I hope you understand I wish times were

385
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:17.240
less so interesting. How about this. Ninety six percent of Republicans say that

386
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:21.920
Donald Trump doesn't have the mental acuity
to serve an office. But most importantly,

387
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:30.039
seventy percent of independence say that Donald
Trump is cognitively impaired. So that

388
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.920
number, as he continues to falter
mentally, will continue to get worse and

389
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:38.720
worse and worse and not better.
So I don't know. We need leadership

390
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:42.599
now more than any other time in
American history. I've always thought that America

391
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:48.920
was God's representative on Earth. When
tough times happened, we had a Washington

392
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.400
at Jefferson went to Lincoln, had
a Teddy Roosevelt, we had a Ronald

393
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:55.839
Reagan. We had FDR during the
war. It allows you job during the

394
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:59.920
depression, but the World War Two
did a great job. America is God's

395
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.400
representative on Earth, and so I
hope and the next year and a half

396
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:08.079
something happens that would allow a more
functioning federal government to take place. This

397
00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:11.839
afternoon, you're going to see and
read and hear all about the debt talks.

398
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.000
Each side's going to posture themselves at
the end of the day. I

399
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.519
listened to Scott Sloan this morning and
his experts. There's going to be an

400
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:23.279
extension of the debt limit to something
like thirty two to thirty three trillion dollars.

401
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:27.440
Schedule will be forty trillion dollars by
the end of this decade. Forty

402
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:32.839
trillion dollars. And it's going to
happen, and there's nothing to stop it

403
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.839
other than your vote's coming this November
more likely than next November. But read

404
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.000
it. Donald Trump's going to be
the nominee of the Republican Party. The

405
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.720
Democrats have indicted him repeatedly, keep
leaking negative information about him, but to

406
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:51.039
hold no resolution, no trial until
after the next election. So it's out

407
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:55.559
there hanging against him. And then
secondly, the Democrats at some point will

408
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:59.880
come to Joe Biden, much like
those three Republicans marched up the steps of

409
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:05.000
the White House in August of nineteen
seventy four to tell then President Richard Nixon

410
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:09.240
your gig is up. At some
point, at some point he will announce

411
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:15.079
I will not seek nor will I
accept the nomination of my party for another

412
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.799
term as your president. Let's continue
with more. Don Dixon is next to

bold by Billy Cunningham, the Great
American And of course, uh, working

438
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:43.840
Americans care a whole bunch about tax
increases, how much money they're spending,

439
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:49.199
and some of the worst situations as
property taxes. As far as what people

440
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.639
pay, it's not based upon income, not based upon economic activity. It's

441
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.920
based upon, uh, based upon
the perceived value of your real estate.

442
00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:00.159
Don Dixon has been a Butler County
commission for many, many years, if

443
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.320
not decades. Who runs in the
circle of Sheriff Richard K. Jones,

444
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:06.920
Mike Mosier and others. In other
words, she's a good guy. And

445
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:08.920
I don't know how Don Dixon,
you and I've been around this long,

446
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:14.159
having never talked on the air before. But I have a text here from

447
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:21.000
a concerned citizen and Don Dixon,
Butler County Commissioner, the state tax Commissioner

448
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:24.239
is proposing tax hikes, for example, in Butler County of forty two percent,

449
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:29.960
Claremont County forty three percent, Montgovernment
County thirty seven percent, which is

450
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.039
a whole bunch. First of all, Don, welcome to the Bill Cunningham

451
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:36.960
Show. And can you tell the
American people what is the role of the

452
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.239
state tax commissioner? Her job as
Patricia Harris, what is she supposed to

453
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:47.159
do? Well, Willie, She's
charged with coming up with a fair evaluation

454
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:54.159
of your property so they can love
you the property tax. And she basically

455
00:35:54.280 --> 00:36:00.679
is an appoint appointed position and she
ass she's not elected and you can't the

456
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:06.760
voters can replace her, but she's
appointed by the governor. And she's just,

457
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:14.199
uh, she's not going to move
off of her appraisal of she wants

458
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:19.199
to just use last year's appraisal,
which we say, that's a crazy number

459
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.440
because you know, those people were
paying one hundred thousand dollars fifty thousand dollars

460
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.679
vote. We're asking prices. You
know, COVID was there no supply,

461
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:32.679
And she's supposed to consider some of
that economic impact of those prices because they're

462
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:37.039
not going to stay up there.
No, but look, are you kidding

463
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:42.519
me? Does she have the power? For example, the property tax bill

464
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:46.119
ISA should be based upon a rolling
number of average. I know many people

465
00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:52.719
last year we're offering stupid prices.
And maybe that's her method. Patricia Harris,

466
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:57.480
who's an appointee, may want to
use that because those are the highest

467
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:02.039
prices in history. But she required
to use one year or can she use

468
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:07.760
three or four or five years to
get a rolling average? Well, according

469
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:12.119
to according to her to Mike Moser, who's probably one of the smartest guys

470
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.400
I know and read beside you of
being an attorney, but he says that

471
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:22.760
she can. She can use it. It's her discretion. So she said,

472
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:24.559
as we sent her a letter and
said, hey, you know,

473
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:28.679
consider these others come to talk to
us, tell us how you get these

474
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:32.039
numbers, and tell us how what
you're taking into consideration. And she basically

475
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:37.639
said, look, I had to
file the high revised Code and you know,

476
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.320
it is what it is, and
have a good day. Pretty much,

477
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.920
maybe she's appointed and doesn't have to
respond to the will of the people,

478
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:52.800
and we're talking to then about hundreds
of millions of dollars out of the

479
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:57.639
pockets of real estate owners in the
state of Ohio. This applies from Hamilton

480
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:01.519
County to Cuyahoga County to Lucas County, through Summit County and Shabaa County.

481
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:06.480
Whatever county you're in, you're going
to get a huge property tax increase.

482
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:08.320
And where does the money go?
Don Dixon? Where does the money go

483
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.360
when you pay your property taxes?
When I think in property taxes, I

484
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:15.840
often think of the schools. I
think in Hamilton County we have about ten

485
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:19.960
to twelve of these special levees.
Where does the money go that if it

486
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:23.039
goes up forty and I have all
the counties here, the lowest counties twenty

487
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:28.360
two percent. The high counties are
like Claremont County at forty three percent.

488
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:31.800
And assuming they stick, where does
all these extra millions of dollars go?

489
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:38.000
Well, Willie, most of it, I'm just geting around number of seventy

490
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:42.760
percent of it goes to schools and
the rest of it goes to different levees,

491
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:50.639
you like and mar dd Adult Senior
Care. All these road levees,

492
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.880
everybody, all these townships to put
on levees simply because you know, simply

493
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:59.679
because when the state made the cuts
two three or four years ago, and

494
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:02.559
it look government fund, which is
what all those little entities rain out of

495
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:07.280
their operations, they didn't have any
money. So they had to go to

496
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.519
they had to go to the ballot
with these special levies. And you know,

497
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:15.559
it's just, uh, it's not
it's not a good situation. You

498
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.480
know, it's just not. And
uh, it's gonna put We've got seniors.

499
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:22.719
We've got seniors here of fixed income. What are they going to do?

500
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:29.360
Tax increase? That's yeah, yeah, they can handle that different.

501
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:32.559
They're on Social Security, Don Dixon. As far as those who rent,

502
00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:36.480
and I like to say, if
you're a renter, and I was a

503
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.000
renter at one point in my life
when I was a Xavier at living eleven

504
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:44.159
o five day and the Avenue apartment
number seven penny and I'm starting life together,

505
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:50.159
I didn't care a whole lot about
property taxes, but I paid rent.

506
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:53.840
And when you pay rent, that
also means the landlord is going to

507
00:39:54.000 --> 00:40:00.639
increase all the rents because the cost
of property taxes built in to the rent

508
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.960
payment. Correct, you're exactly right, You're exactly right, Willie. That's

509
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.920
you know, that's that's that's a
big part of the problem. You know,

510
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.000
it's just that it just goes on
the rent. It goes on the

511
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:19.639
rent. Check. Now, for
example, we have given away over twenty

512
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:25.519
around twenty five million dollars in the
last two years for rental assistance through all

513
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:30.719
this COVID and all this all these
other things going on. It was sent

514
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.079
from the federal government. So it's
about twenty five million dollars. So can

515
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:38.920
you imagine what you know, what
all that's going to mean. I mean,

516
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:42.800
if if it takes that to live
before this tacks, what the hell

517
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:45.280
is it going to be afterwards?
You know, Don Dixon I speak to

518
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:50.320
like Richard K. Jones and normal
people. I know, the stock marker

519
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:53.039
right now is still pretty high compared
to historical models. I know things are

520
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:57.159
going good for the top one or
two or three or five percent, But

521
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.880
there's a soft underbelly of this great
country of ours who live in Claremite County,

522
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:05.920
Boone County, Hamilton County, who
are working stiffs who kind of live

523
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:10.280
paycheck to paycheck or government check to
government check, and they can't afford to

524
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:15.320
forty percent real estate tax increase mandated
by bureaucrat. So I would ask you,

525
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.280
as a county commissioner in Butler County, what can we do? What

526
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:22.480
can you do to stop it?
If anything? Well, well, you

527
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:28.519
are there's some legislation as we've been
we've been trying to give to our centers

528
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:31.159
or sender Lange and just went to
the wall on this force in Columbus and

529
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:36.360
he's, you know, he's he's
working on some legislative changes. But that's

530
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:38.119
you know, that's that's a year
or two out, you know, kind

531
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:43.760
you get get that implemented in law. But what we can do is get

532
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:50.360
her, Patricia Harris, to modify
what she considers in her appraisals. And

533
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:52.840
you don't we know what appraisal is. Well, it's not just what it

534
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.679
pays, it's you know, it's
it's based on a number of different factors.

535
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:00.440
And you know, she just taking
a sales price. She has the

536
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:04.599
ability to fix that. And furthermore, the governor has the ability, I

537
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:08.039
think, to have a conversation with
her because he appoints her. So I

538
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:14.239
think that that's the immediate that's the
immediate process when we're working on right now,

539
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:17.199
try and get get some relief on
this so before it goes into effect

540
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.039
next year. So if she has
her way and it goes into effect,

541
00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:28.239
when would the actual forty percent increase
across the board of real estate taxes?

542
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:32.079
When would that actually be paid beginning
next year? Beginning next year, be

543
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:36.599
doing February. Yeah, yeah,
bills will go out in January. I

544
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:39.559
think, wow. So yeah,
you're gonna They're gonna get it next year.

545
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:44.239
So that's why we're trying to get
it. You know, she's saying,

546
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:45.960
Look, we haven't made up our
mind exactly. First it was like

547
00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:51.480
it was thirty nine, then I
went to forty two, and now you

548
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:55.199
know, somewhere around the forty forty
two number. And but they won't make

549
00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:59.599
that decision until it get later in
a year because you don't have enough time

550
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:02.679
to do an about it. You
know that by time the times she says

551
00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:06.480
it, it goes on the bill. You got it. It's that too

552
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:09.239
late, game over and if you
can't pay it, it goes into foreclosure

553
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:14.119
and away you go and none properties. You know, to take last year

554
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:19.360
as an example of reality as a
mistake, why is that a what happened

555
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:22.280
in Butler County last year when somebody
wanted to sell their house. What happened,

556
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:27.320
wasn't there multiple bidders and all that
kind of stuff, Oh, Willie,

557
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:29.960
they were they would take they would
have an old They would say,

558
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:34.719
we're having an open house today at
three to five, and we're gonna review

559
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.559
offers at six, and they'll have
in the house, might be listed for

560
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:43.440
four hundred thousand, they'll have multiple
offers, I mean maybe ten or fifteen,

561
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:49.639
and probably or more of those offers, or for a lot more than

562
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:52.360
the asking price. And that was. That was because of the COVID the

563
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:59.119
shortage. You know, you can't
get supplies, some of just basically price

564
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:01.920
galaging on some of the suppliers.
But you know that's the way it worked,

565
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:07.880
and so that's that's not that was. That was once in a million

566
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:12.079
years, as you'd come together with
a two percent interest, right right,

567
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:16.239
Yeah, that's all screwed up.
Well, the fact the matter is is

568
00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:19.400
going to put a lot of people
back on the streets. It's going to

569
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:22.199
hurt a lot of people. And
the government doesn't I'll ask it. You're

570
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:28.159
like a government official, do you
need forty percent more revenue to operate?

571
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:34.239
Butler County, Bill, we don't
need that at all. Look, we

572
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:37.760
have no general fund debt in Butler
County, we have a triple A bond

573
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:43.119
rating, we have a lot of
sales taxes State of Ohio, and probably

574
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:46.679
I'm heading towards a couple million of
dollars in reserves. No, we don't

575
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:52.400
need it. This is unbelievable.
This is so the government. There are

576
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.760
some governments. I would think the
City of Cincinnati in Hamlety County would like

577
00:44:55.920 --> 00:45:00.360
to have a few hundred million more
dollars. But when I talked to in

578
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.559
Warren County, in Claremont County,
in Butler County, they don't need it

579
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:07.360
because they're not in debt. But
Hamilton County tends to be in debt.

580
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:13.960
I think Hamleton County probably could use
the money. Well, that's true,

581
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:16.039
that's true, Willie. I mean
there are you know, there are some

582
00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:21.400
It would be good for some governmental
entities to get it, but I can

583
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:25.360
guarantee it won't be good for the
taxpayers at this point. You know,

584
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:30.440
Mike Dwine always says his ears open. As far as I don't know if

585
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:37.440
it's legal for Mike DeWine to order
Patricia Harris at the Tax Division to do

586
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:40.519
certain things. But are the legislators
getting together. I know I spoke to

587
00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:45.800
Jennie Schmidt earlier today and there's some
emergency meeting going on because here we are

588
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:49.480
the middle of May, and this
thing's got to be stopped soon because get

589
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.920
the property tax bills together, I
think happens in the fall. Then they

590
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:54.800
go out and people, a lot
of people can't afford it. What can

591
00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:59.840
be done? As far as your
lawmakers there in Butler County, what are

592
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:04.280
they doing today and tomorrow? Well, I can't tell you that. Our

593
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.079
senator and state reps, which I
had a meeting with all of them at

594
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:12.039
one time, and they are on
it, willing, they are on it.

595
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.199
George Lange, the Senator. Lange
said, look, we might not

596
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.519
win this, but we're sure as
hell going down fighting. So you know,

597
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:23.519
our prosecutor was there, Mike Moser, you know, the sheriff is

598
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:28.000
all you know, he's all fired
up over it. So you know,

599
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:34.639
we just have to we just have
to try and convince through through whatever whatever

600
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:39.000
channels we have to get. Get
Mike the wine to to step in here

601
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:44.679
and help us out. I mean, he's a good guy, but when

602
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:46.320
it gets it, when it gets
up into Columbus. When it gets in

603
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:51.599
that getting that money machine, who
the hell those houses going to turn out?

604
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.239
And so so the goal is to
have a rolling average of three years

605
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:59.199
so that you don't I would imagine
prices right now are going down, I

606
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:01.360
would think, but they are,
Bill, I don't know. They can't

607
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:07.440
stay up there. Yeah, they
are heading down, uh somewhat. And

608
00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:09.840
but it's gonna be a it's gonna
be a general trend down because nobody wants

609
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:14.480
to quit charging that much. Yea, quit making that much. But here,

610
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:16.119
here's what legislators need to do a
couple of things. They need to

611
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:21.760
cap that. They need to cap
that increase somehow that it can't you know,

612
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:24.920
it can't go over so many percentage
five percent a year or two or

613
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:30.559
two percents over with us over three
years or something that This is crazy,

614
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:35.239
just absolutely crazy. Why do you
think Don Dixon, Butler County Commissioner,

615
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:39.920
this issue has not gotten into the
media. It's not a sexy issue,

616
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:44.519
and media doesn't want to cover things
that aren't really sexy and exciting and gets

617
00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:47.280
clicks. But this is fundamental.
Why do you think this is happening below

618
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:54.000
the radar? Bill? It's you
know, I think people have become they've

619
00:47:54.239 --> 00:48:01.639
just become numb to this whole process. Look, you got you've got people

620
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:07.639
voting on these levees that the taxpayers
going to have to pay that some of

621
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:12.320
these levees only had a six percent
not this year, but it was fifteen

622
00:48:12.360 --> 00:48:15.960
percent I think this year in Butler
County. But I've seen special elections in

623
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:19.519
this where they had tax levies on. We're three or four percent of the

624
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:23.440
voters only voted. There has to
be some kind of structure put on this

625
00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:29.760
to stop this from happening. And
you know, the legislator and needs legislatives

626
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:32.079
people are I tell you, our
people are working to get some changes,

627
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:37.639
but right now our main goal is
to get this. So they consider the

628
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:42.360
last three years and help us a
little bit, and even that would be

629
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:45.400
a big increase because one of those
three years, some real estate properties went

630
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:49.800
up ten to twenty thirty percent.
The problem is you can sell your house

631
00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:52.639
or a big number, but then
you got to buy another house, and

632
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:57.199
that's a big number. Well,
some of our some of ours went up

633
00:48:57.199 --> 00:49:00.800
in Butler County last year twenty four
percent. So even if you took the

634
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:05.039
forty two and you got in.
You got a cut in two that's still

635
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:08.840
twenty twenty percent, So that's forty
five percent in two years. So you're

636
00:49:08.840 --> 00:49:12.320
going to get a bunch of money
either way. If it goes up twenty

637
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:15.400
percent, you're going Butler County.
It's going to get a bunch of money

638
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:17.679
you don't need because you have no
debt. But if it goes up forty

639
00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:21.559
percent, that's even worse, and
that'll be locked in for the next few

640
00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:24.840
years. You'll pay it every year
going forward. Yeah, they're great,

641
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:28.960
they're great to raise it, never
to lower it. But built two years

642
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:35.320
ago. Two years ago we we
gave back to the taxpayers. Are inside

643
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:40.719
millage completely. It costs US twenty
some million dollars. But that's the first

644
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:45.079
time real estate taxes has ever been
cut in Butler County. But like you

645
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:47.519
said, it's not a sexy topic. No nobody wants to you know,

646
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:52.280
nobody wants to gets interested in it. But the effect of it, from

647
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:57.559
the seniors to the people who are
barely making it is just in the renters,

648
00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:00.960
is just devastating. Well, what
we have to do is contact our

649
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:05.239
lawmakers and when you're a permission,
when I get off the air, at

650
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:09.440
three o'clock, I'll I'll call Mike
Dwine for whatever it's worth and get his

651
00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:13.239
perspective. Willie, that'd be the
best thing we could one of the best

652
00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:15.039
things we can get going. And
we just have to get that out,

653
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:19.559
get that moving, all right,
Don Dixon, You're you're about the best

654
00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:23.480
there is. How many years have
you been the commissioner? Twenty fo Willie

655
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:28.239
twenty two? Probably something like that. You're gonna stick around, You're gonna

656
00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:30.719
stick around for a while. Well, I want to hang in here with

657
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:34.000
the shaff from the prosecutor. You
know, that's the that's the two guys

658
00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:37.360
that you know, that's the two
guys really that I helps keep us together.

659
00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:43.519
So yeah, I'm staying for a
while. Don Dixon, appreciate what

660
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:47.280
you're doing. Thank you. I'll
do my small part. But average citizens

661
00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:52.079
cannot put up with a forty percent
I look at this list, forty two

662
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:55.679
percent tax increase in Claremont County.
Hamlet and County is about thirty six percent.

663
00:50:55.840 --> 00:51:00.039
Claremon and the other counties are between
thirty and forty two percent. Butler

664
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:05.639
County is particularly hard hit. But
I'll make a call and see what I

665
00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:07.880
can do. And let's all we
can do is ring the bell. Hopefully

666
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:13.159
the lawmakers answer it, because people
cannot at this point pay these kind of

667
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:15.159
numbers unless you're rich and famous,
and only a few of us are,

668
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:19.320
and you and I are not.
So Don Dixon, you're a great American

669
00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:22.239
once again, and thank you for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank

00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:45.280
NFL schedule. Some of the highlights. They're gonna have a Black Friday game

729
00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:51.280
for the first time ever. After
the Thanksgiving Day of games. Teams can

730
00:55:51.320 --> 00:55:54.440
be on Thursday Night at least twice
in a season. Say that again,

731
00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:59.679
teams can be on Thursday Night football
twice. Now, when will we know

732
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:04.920
if the Bengal Christmas and the Chiefs
Christmas starts on Christmas falls on a holiday.

733
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:10.039
Reports are the National Football League will
have three games on Christmas Day.

734
00:56:10.159 --> 00:56:14.840
That sacrilegious kind of like Thanksgiving Day. You know what I'm gonna be in

about ten days. I'll be in
the Holy Land at the whaling wall.

736
00:56:17.320 --> 00:56:24.400
What should I say about you?
Segment season schedule will feature fourteen playoff rematches,

737
00:56:24.440 --> 00:56:29.519
Willie, what are they? Conference
championship games like the Bengals and Chiefs

738
00:56:29.559 --> 00:56:32.840
are gonna meet again, Divisional games
like the Bengals and Bills. Maybe the

739
00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:37.000
Bills will come here and they'll whip
him. Well, we wish what's his

740
00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:39.599
name the best tomorrow because he's back, He's he gonna play. I guess

741
00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:45.039
he's gonna play again with the Bills. But and then also tonight back to

742
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:50.639

00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:54.280

744
00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:58.840
hundred dogs. The weather's perfect.
That is correct, as Xavier and UC

745
00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:02.559
meet today, Willie and baseball,
I've recently spoke to the Xavier baseball team.

746
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:08.119
Yeah, because as you know,
in nineteen seventy, Jerry Green and

747
00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:13.320
I were the co captains and the
Xavior baseball team and went to Notre Dame

748
00:57:13.639 --> 00:57:16.679
and kicked the crap out of Bob
Arnson, who pits for the finding hours

749
00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:21.440
in South Bend. He had no
chance. We won three games my senior

750
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:24.000
year, and that was one of
the three Really, you know, Wow,

751
00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:28.239
people are still talking about that.
Wow, It'll never happen again.

752
00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:32.280
Was new Rockney managing that team?
I felt like new era Parsigian and I

753
00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:37.079
spoke to the Xavier baseball team O'Connor, I kind of felt like that,

754
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:39.360
Willie. We also want to thank
Lear's Prime Market for our lunch today.

and spas and Frank's Eyebell. If
you had to go to one Bengals game

760
00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:10.519
this year, Frank, would it
be against Kansas City there? Or maybe

761
00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:19.000
against Buffalo here? Or would it
be maybe the Cleveland team against San Francisco

762
00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:22.960
Frank's eyebell? What do you say? Are you there? Bill? I'm

763
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:25.280
here? Now? Go ahead.
If you had to pick one game to

764
00:58:25.400 --> 00:58:30.440
a ten, which one would it
be? Frank's ibell? Right now?

765
00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:34.519
Bill, We're running a special until
next Friday the nineteenth, we got five

766
00:58:34.599 --> 00:58:38.039
thousand dollars off any gunnight pool project. Get on the schedule, now,

767
00:58:38.360 --> 00:58:43.480
say five thousand dollars before next Friday. That's what I would do. That's

768
00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:45.480
what you would do. But do
you ever swim in your pools? Do

769
00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:49.800
you ever do the backstroke? You
ever do? Maybe they give you an

770
00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:53.039
example. Now I met with a
nice couple this morning and they have nine

771
00:58:53.159 --> 00:58:58.719
kids. Well, that's gonna be
a big pool with a large sun deck,

772
00:58:58.840 --> 00:59:01.239
a tidal waves. I don't want
to have a diving board. It's

773
00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:07.039
gonna have bubblers, it's gonna have
led lighting finished with a huge stamped concrete

774
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:10.159
pool. Debt. Nine kids,
unbelievable. I want to go to that

775
00:59:10.239 --> 00:59:14.840
house, a nice bubble last week
and they just want a small pool.

776
00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:17.199
They want to they're in Montgomery.
They want a small pool with a water

777
00:59:17.320 --> 00:59:22.800
feature, a fire pit, and
a sitting wall finished with beautiful stone.

778
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:27.159
They're not even gonna use the pool. They just want to feel like they're

779
00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:30.440
at the Four Seasons resort. They
want to hear the water Billy Well Frankie

780
00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:35.239
segment. And I want to come
over to that house with the nine kids

781
00:59:35.239 --> 00:59:37.079
to do the show. I wanna
do the show from the pool. I

782
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:43.679
want to watch watch. Then why
don't we build a pool at your house?

783
00:59:43.719 --> 00:59:46.440
No, you can do the show
at your house. We can drink

784
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:51.239
peanut coladas and then we can call
people and get things really fired up.

785
00:59:51.320 --> 00:59:53.320
You know, Frank, right now, I got enough problems from peanut coladas.

786
00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:58.000
I'm not gonna touch a peanut colada. But uh segment, and you

787
00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:00.480
tried the backstroke? Not? Will
you know? I can do a pretty

788
01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:04.719
good mean cannonball. I bet you, I bet you could empty the water

789
01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:07.760
out. Frank's ibell, what's the
number with that special deal? If Annie,

790
01:00:07.760 --> 01:00:10.440
what's the number? Well, all

thousand dollars off till next Friday. Billy,

793
01:00:22.280 --> 01:00:24.239
Frank's eyebell, you're the best.
And I'll be doing the backstroke at

794
01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:27.840
some point. But you know,
water and I don't get along. I

795
01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:30.400
don't get on roofs, and I
don't do a lot of swimming, but

796
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:34.360
a lot of Americans do. Frank's
ibell, we gotta run. God bless

01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:37.199
you, God bless you. This
stuff sells itself. Billy. This is

for the mind. Call today, swim

800
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:49.480
All right, Frank, you're the
best. Thank you very much, thank

801
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:52.800
you, thank you. Segment please
continue. He gets me excited. Just

802
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:55.239
listen to that guy. I want
to go swimming. Now, swimming?

803
01:00:55.239 --> 01:00:58.960
Now? Have nine kids? Can
you see them? With the with the

804
01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:02.880
I a wave tide of wave pools. Wow, that sounds like Coney Island.

805
01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:06.559
I know that sounds pretty good.
Well, I might do that at

806
01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:08.599
Middletown. Now, please container,
let's see what else I'm not. Are

807
01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:12.440
you a swimmer? I don't.
I'm not. No. I'd let you

808
01:01:12.480 --> 01:01:15.280
know what I do. I go
to if I wet, to someplace,

809
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:20.079
one of those lazy rivers where you
just get in the big giant inner tube

810
01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:22.679
and just float down. That's what
I do. That's what I do.

811
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:27.320
But you knows some things I can't
do in life. I don't swim because

812
01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:30.840
I almost drowned when I was a
kid. You don't go up on roofs,

813
01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:34.840
well I did once. If that
happens again, that was enough.

814
01:01:35.320 --> 01:01:38.519
Let me know if that happens again, goes, come call the Funny Farm,

815
01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:40.800
put me in, put me in
a long view, because if I

816
01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:45.280
get on another roof, I'm done. Well. Ye. Let's see also

817
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:49.639
the ECHL hockey Game three of the
Central Division Finals tomorrow night. By the

818
01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:52.800
way, frank Sybelle is hilarious.
Yes he is. Good Man Toledo hosting

819
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:58.719
the Cyclones of Walleye up two games
to none, so I must win with

820
01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:04.320
a wave pool. I like to
see you maybe hanging ten, hanging ten.

821
01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:08.119
Let's see soccer tomorrow night at TQL
Stadium in the West End, round

822
01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:13.599
to thirty two and the Lamar Hunt
US Open Cup Tomorrow night is New York

823
01:02:13.679 --> 01:02:19.199
City FC takes on our unbeaten at
home in first place FC Cincinnati Orange and

824
01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:22.800
Blue. When did they play?
Match time tomorrow night is seven pm.

825
01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:27.280
Are you going? You know?
I might do that tomorrow Rush Open Cup

826
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:32.320
at some action, some controversy.
FC Cincinnati is uh tearing things up in

827
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:36.320
the MLS. Will he? Are
they still in first place? Yes?

828
01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:40.320
Yeah? Jeff burning back from Saudi
Arabia six and oh at home. But

829
01:02:40.559 --> 01:02:45.280
I don't think he h he hasn't. I guess he's back. But I

830
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:50.199
guess Messi is uh. Messi was
suspended from his Paris team, and I

831
01:02:50.239 --> 01:02:52.840
guess he's gonna go to Saudi Arabia
here pretty soon, But I don't know

832
01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:57.280
how much money is he gonna make. What about Mbope and Bope how to

833
01:02:57.320 --> 01:03:00.920
come here? Or Renault? Well
maybe he's gonna make four hundred million a

834
01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:07.039
season, two hundred million more than
Ronaldo. What about Naymar? He's gonna

835
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:09.760
give up his contract? He asked, Gee, what about that? Well,

836
01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:15.239
if he does that, then,
uh, then the FC Cincinnati can

837
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:20.280
go get another player. Well,
Messi's available. Yes, he has got

838
01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:22.719
a match of four hundred million.
Though I fit in well with the orange

839
01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:25.960
and blue. He looked good in
orange and blue. That's kind of the

840
01:03:27.079 --> 01:03:32.000
cost of the entire franchise in the
stadium in the city to call it Messi

841
01:03:32.079 --> 01:03:37.480
City, Messi Messi Cincinnati, and
we'll see what happens. But Xavier,

842
01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:43.760
you see a big matchup baseball baseball
tonight? Did you did? And your

843
01:03:44.400 --> 01:03:49.920
illustrious career as a co captain?
Did the Cats and the Musketeers play in

844
01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:53.679
baseball at Crosley Field? Really,
hanklover Milk here you see. Yes,

845
01:03:53.880 --> 01:03:58.000
Wow, how about that. I
didn't know that. You know, the

846
01:03:58.039 --> 01:04:01.920
baseball coach of UC at the time
was also an official score with your Cincinnati

847
01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:06.599
Reds, the great Glen Sample.
Yes, he was the manager. He

848
01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:10.360
came over to me and said,
Willie, I wish I would have recruited

849
01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:13.519
you, And I said, no
question about it. We got beat fourteen

850
01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:16.320
to one. But playing at Crossley
Field was a big deal. O kidding?

851
01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:20.639
Sixty nine and by seventy they open
up Riverfront, what like in June

852
01:04:20.719 --> 01:04:25.880
thirtieth, nineteen seventy. Yeah,
I'd graduate and went on to Miami,

853
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:29.760
Florida to become a golf pro.
That's another story that did not last at

854
01:04:29.800 --> 01:04:32.119
all. At King's Bay Yacht and
Country Club. After six months of picking

855
01:04:32.199 --> 01:04:35.719
up balls at four o'clock in the
morning and serving as a pen where people

856
01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:39.800
took shots of me, I said, Penny, I'm gonna go to law

857
01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:43.400
school. Enough of this and the
rest is history. Would you have a

858
01:04:43.400 --> 01:04:46.440
flag hanging over your head or something? Literally? Yes, I'd stand out

859
01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:49.320
there two hundred yards and people try
to hit me, and some say I

860
01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:55.639
got hit and head one too many
times, like Hue, It's like that.

861
01:04:56.039 --> 01:04:59.320
What's the thing that duncan booth at
the carnival. Did that once,

862
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:02.280
not doing again? Have you ever
been in the dunking booth? I think

863
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:04.920
I did that once too. Yeah, it was good. I did it

864
01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:10.320
once and I stood out on again
on a green Yeah, standing there and

865
01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:13.639
people tried to hit you. I
had a flake stick in my hand.

866
01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:17.519
Yeah, and it was some event
in Miami. If this wasn't like every

867
01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:20.000
day, No, it just way. I was good there with a pen

868
01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:24.920
trying to hit me. Believe a
lot of people like to hit me right

869
01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:28.880
now. So all I can say
is I felt like I was you know,

870
01:05:29.400 --> 01:05:31.119
I was an object. And after
a while I said, Penny,

871
01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:35.840
I'm done being quote an assistant pro
making a dollar forty an hour. I'm

872
01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:41.920
going to law school and the rest
is history. Being segment Get me out

873
01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:45.159
of the Stet's Report. Coming up
next is Moe Egger with what's happening tonight?

874
01:05:45.199 --> 01:05:48.280
What's happening on Thursday and more?
Well, Willie and out her of

875
01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:51.760
the Reds and Mets tonight and barking
the park with three hundred dogs in the

876
01:05:51.800 --> 01:05:56.840
house, taking your dog. They're
all gone, Willie, me too.

877
01:05:57.320 --> 01:06:01.840
We leave you with the immortal words
of the stew Report. Well, the

878
01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:06.639
object in any sport is to get
better as the season goes along. I

879
01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:11.639
don't care if you're playing tiddy weeks. You gotta figure out a way to

880
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:15.079
get a little bit better as the
season moves along. Well, that's for

881
01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:19.159
sure. You know. Every now
and then Jeff Brantley had pearls of wisdom.

882
01:06:19.239 --> 01:06:23.159
That sounded pretty good, And that
sounded to me pretty good. The

883
01:06:23.199 --> 01:06:27.039
Reds are fourteen and twenty, Willie
and the metser I think seventeen and eighteen,

884
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:31.559
and after starting the season fourteen and
seven, So they've hit the skids

885
01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:34.199
here. Now. Cohen guy spent
all the money, didn't do much good,

886
01:06:34.239 --> 01:06:38.880
did it. He's got Verlander shares
her and a bunch of money in

887
01:06:39.440 --> 01:06:43.159
players. So you know I'm gonna
predict right now the Reds are win two

888
01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:45.239
of the next three. Do you
agree? Sounds sound good to me?

889
01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:47.719
The next three sounds good to me. Let's continue before they head to Miami

890
01:06:47.719 --> 01:06:54.079
in Colorado next week, Miami and
then Colorado. Correct about that? Eighty

891
01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:59.000
five one day and probably snowing next
Monday in Denver. It was hilarious.

No that amazing. In eighteen sixty two,

896
01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:27.199
the King of Siam offered President Abraham
Lincoln several pairs of elephants to be

897
01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:31.719
turned loose in the forests and multiply
into large herds. The sixteenth President politely

898
01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:39.920
declined the offer. No that.
Speaking of amazing, check out Eddie and

01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:03.359
Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Cottee, and
we've got an incredible week. Thousand hots

920
01:09:04.840 --> 01:09:11.000
I make you, I'll bring a
thousand of all baby be boy, am

921
01:09:12.359 --> 01:09:19.439
I want to be up with the
baby. I'm in that. I'm bad

922
01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:27.239
of the bold, ahead of the
bold, ahead of the let's continue.

923
01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:30.039
We never software simply continue. Now, Moegger, the voice of UC Athletics

924
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:33.199
in a sense, along with Dan
Horne and Terry Nelson, is here.

925
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:39.720
And moe first of all, the
schedule. Imagine where we are now compared

926
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:43.560
to three years ago. When the
schedule is coming out and the world ends.

927
01:09:43.840 --> 01:09:46.880
We go to a great bar facility
in Madisonville. Life is good.

928
01:09:47.039 --> 01:09:50.439
We worry about whether the Bengals are
going to be the opening act on a

929
01:09:50.479 --> 01:09:55.079
Thursday night. We got Christmas Day
itself. They're gonna play three game or

930
01:09:55.159 --> 01:09:58.960
the Bengal is gonna be playing buff
Can you imagine what's happened the past three

931
01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:00.479
years. It's awesome. I mean, you know, it used to be

932
01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:03.600
the schedule we'd find like you'd read
about it in the paper the next day,

933
01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:05.680
right like oh, the schedules out, and then you know, the

934
01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:10.960
NFL network needed programming, so they
would announce the schedule in Bengals fans often

935
01:10:11.039 --> 01:10:14.439
we looked at it with dread.
And now there's it's like the last mile

936
01:10:14.520 --> 01:10:17.199
post I think you hit before.
It's like all right, Now, give

937
01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:20.319
me the season, give me training
camp. You have free agency, you

938
01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:26.279
have the draft, you have schedule
release night, Lance and Tony and myself

939
01:10:26.279 --> 01:10:30.399
and Solomon Wilcott's broadcasting three hour schedule
release show from Bad Tom Smith on Thursday

940
01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:33.439
Night. It's gonna be a blast. But it's it's fun to think about.

941
01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:36.239
It's it's fun to try to guess
what the NFL is going to do

942
01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:41.279
with them. Number One, it's
marketing and it's eyeballs. Wouldn't the Bengals

943
01:10:41.279 --> 01:10:45.479
at Kansas City be a better matchup
than Philadelphia at Kansas City? I don't

944
01:10:45.479 --> 01:10:49.319
know, But look, the Chiefs
have a lot of really good home games.

945
01:10:49.960 --> 01:10:54.000
I think the Bengals and Chiefs is
the best rivalry in the NFL.

946
01:10:54.359 --> 01:10:58.319
But there's three things about this for
me. One is that game is gonna

947
01:10:58.319 --> 01:11:01.600
get a big number anyway, So
you don't need Mahomes Versus Burrow to get

948
01:11:01.600 --> 01:11:04.439
a big number. It's the first
night of the season. Who doesn't watch

949
01:11:04.479 --> 01:11:08.720
that game? So are you going
to get a few more eyeballs if it's

950
01:11:08.760 --> 01:11:12.840
Mahomes versus Burrow? Sure? Are
you going to get so many more eyeballs

951
01:11:12.880 --> 01:11:16.039
than you would if it was Hurts
versus Mahomes, or Mahomes versus Allan,

952
01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:20.319
or the Chiefs versus anybody else.
So the need to create ratings on opening

953
01:11:20.399 --> 01:11:24.720
night is not there because that first
game already does well. So start with

954
01:11:24.760 --> 01:11:28.079
that number. Two. The Bengals
in Chiefs over the last two years have

955
01:11:28.199 --> 01:11:31.920
played four great games. Those games
have been played in December and January.

956
01:11:32.199 --> 01:11:36.439
There's a reason why football teams are
better in December and January. So to

957
01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:41.319
me, I want that formula,
a formula again where I could put those

958
01:11:41.319 --> 01:11:44.960
two teams opposite each other when there's
a lot on the line. It's clear

959
01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:47.159
stakes. You sort of know what
the storylines are, you know where the

960
01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:51.720
boat both teams are in respect to
other teams in their division or in respect

961
01:11:51.800 --> 01:11:56.800
to each other. And then also
the Bengals the objection, the object this

962
01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:00.319
year is to be the one seed. They started slowly last year year they've

963
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:04.079
played unevenly in season openers under Zach
Taylor. I want to hit the ground

964
01:12:04.159 --> 01:12:08.479
running. I want to go fourteen
and three. That means you can start

965
01:12:08.479 --> 01:12:13.000
oh and two. If you go
to Kansas City week one, it's tough.

966
01:12:13.199 --> 01:12:15.600
So I want to lighter load early
and there'll be a dog when you're

967
01:12:15.600 --> 01:12:20.039
thinking about good. The NFL is
probably the two of the three smallest markets

968
01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:24.600
outside of Green Bay are Kansas City
and Cincinnati. Yeah, but two of

969
01:12:24.640 --> 01:12:27.720
the biggest stars stars are there.
In fact, it's okay. In fact,

970
01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:30.880
the NFL does it right. If
you look at baseball or basketball.

971
01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:34.319
I think Milwaukee was an outlier,
but mainly they share revenues to a large

972
01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:38.840
extent, but not in baseball.
And now you got the Yankees in last

973
01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:42.239
place. They look terrible with a
three and a million dollars pay roll.

974
01:12:42.279 --> 01:12:45.600
The Mets open up. I think
they're like fourteen and seven at some point,

975
01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:48.199
and now they're terrible. And I
love Scherzer on the mound. That's

976
01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:51.399
a good thing tonight. You want
to face them, You want to face

977
01:12:51.479 --> 01:12:55.600
them. Right now we're throwing Luke
Weaver at him, though, who is

978
01:12:55.600 --> 01:13:00.520
that? He's a guy that's holding
down the spot that Andrew Abbott should occupying

979
01:13:00.520 --> 01:13:03.199
in the starting rotation. You're right, though the NFL, Pittsburgh is not

980
01:13:03.239 --> 01:13:09.680
a big market. Pittsburgh has a
franchise that matters nationally. The Cincinnati Bengals,

981
01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:12.279
in a small market, now have
one of the biggest stars that one

982
01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:15.479
of the biggest story's biggest attractions in
the National Football League. You talk about

983
01:13:15.560 --> 01:13:19.920
Kansas City, Jacksonville is on the
Come with Trevor Lawrence, the Green Bay

984
01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:24.119
Packers. I hear people talk about
Aaron Rodgers in the New York media.

985
01:13:24.359 --> 01:13:29.319
Aaron Rodgers has played for a national
brand for his entire NFL career. There

986
01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:32.760
is maybe no team in the league
that is more scrutinized on a national basis,

987
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:38.000
perhaps outside of Dallas, than the
Green Bay Packers. But you're right,

988
01:13:38.119 --> 01:13:40.960
Look, Bengals in Chiefs is going
to be thrown. It's not going

989
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:44.359
to be a one o'clock Sunday game, But I don't know that the NFL

990
01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:47.319
needs it to be eight pm on
the first Thursday of the season. You

991
01:13:47.399 --> 01:13:51.319
think about Los Angeles, talk about
New York and Chicago. The Bear stink,

992
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:56.239
the Jets got a shot, The
Giants are terrible in the LA Rams

993
01:13:56.279 --> 01:13:59.279
and the Chargers nobody. I mean, but you think about the growth of

994
01:13:59.279 --> 01:14:03.239
the league from four to twenty sixteen, no team in LA. Let me

995
01:14:03.279 --> 01:14:06.920
think about that. The league grew
exponentially. Meanwhile, there was no team

996
01:14:06.920 --> 01:14:11.159
in the second biggest market in the
country during most of that time. The

997
01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:14.079
Chicago Bears were no good. During
a large stretch of that time, the

998
01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:17.000
Giants and Jets weren't very good.
So at this point, when the schedules

999
01:14:17.039 --> 01:14:20.079
released, it's it's at six pm
sharp piece, or we should go on

1000
01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:24.560
the air at six. The schedule
comes out at eight. You got two

1001
01:14:24.600 --> 01:14:28.199
hours at bambling, so we'll spend
two hours guessing what the schedule is going

1002
01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:30.039
to look like and then actually talking
about the schedule once it comes out.

1003
01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:33.600
How many night games the Bengals used
to have? None? Newstad one.

1004
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:38.279
I'm thinking four or five. I'm
I think without question, there's gonna be

1005
01:14:38.279 --> 01:14:42.119
four. The max you can be
slotted in his five they had all If

1006
01:14:42.159 --> 01:14:45.920
you go back to last year,
they were on Thursday night against Jacksonville,

1007
01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:48.680
they were Monday night against Buffalo,
the game that obviously wasn't played, and

1008
01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:55.319
then their three division road games became
night games. Now, the Pittsburgh game

1009
01:14:55.399 --> 01:14:58.239
got flexed out and it was a
day game, but they were scheduled for

1010
01:14:58.359 --> 01:15:00.319
five night games, and I think
are going to have something similar. But

1011
01:15:00.359 --> 01:15:06.239
also remember the Friday game the day
after Thanksgiving. Three games on Thanksgiving.

1012
01:15:06.359 --> 01:15:11.439
Now, I don't think you're gonna
put Bengals Chiefs on Thanksgiving or Christmas because

1013
01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:15.600
everybody's watching again anyway. But there
are more of these sort of standalone primetime

1014
01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:19.439
ish opportunities. Also, not every
team is guaranteed to be in primetime,

1015
01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:25.800
and teams can be scheduled for two
Thursday games, which, aside from Dallas

1016
01:15:25.840 --> 01:15:29.600
and Detroit because those teams play in
Thanksgiving, historically has not been the case.

1017
01:15:29.640 --> 01:15:32.000
So yeah, I'm guessing the Bengals
are on primetime five times. And

1018
01:15:32.079 --> 01:15:35.720
I would say the Bengals are among
the top five franchises and all of football

1019
01:15:35.840 --> 01:15:39.199
right now. If you had to
rank them, I would think they're right

1020
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:42.600
there. I think Kansas City,
Yeah, the Eagles, sure, Dallas.

1021
01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:45.359
Look, look they were a Final
four team last year. I think

1022
01:15:45.399 --> 01:15:47.119
if you were to talk about who's
on the short list of teams that you

1023
01:15:47.159 --> 01:15:49.680
think, the way the teams are
constructed right now can win the whole thing,

1024
01:15:49.840 --> 01:15:53.720
the Bengals are on that list.
You might not think the list starts

1025
01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:57.039
with them, and that's fine.
It might be Kansas City because they won

1026
01:15:57.079 --> 01:16:01.600
it last year, but they are
clear cut Super Bowl contenders. I can't

1027
01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:05.600
say that about the Jets. I
can't say that about the Baltimore Ravens can

1028
01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:10.000
say it about Kansas City. Feel
like I can still say it about Buffalo.

1029
01:16:10.039 --> 01:16:12.520
They have to get their pass rush
better. I feel like I could

1030
01:16:12.520 --> 01:16:15.359
say it about the Eagles. I'd
put the forty nine ers in that conversation.

1031
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:18.199
San Francisco is on Cincinnati schedule this
year. I sort of believe we

1032
01:16:18.199 --> 01:16:20.840
could say that about the Chargers even
though they haven't won a playoff game.

1033
01:16:21.239 --> 01:16:25.560
I know I could say it about
the Bengals. Joe Burrow many thought by

1034
01:16:25.600 --> 01:16:28.479
the middle of May he would have
signed a long term, guaranteed, bonus

1035
01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:31.840
laden contract. Hadn't happen yet.
It may happen as we speak in about

1036
01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:34.880
an hour or two, may happen
before Thursday night. I don't know.

1037
01:16:35.079 --> 01:16:39.680
Yeah, I would think the NFL
wants no news whatsoever on Thursday and Friday

1038
01:16:39.680 --> 01:16:42.760
and Saturday, so you would think
it would happened today, tomorrow or Monday

1039
01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:45.359
or two. Say, is there
a snag? Have you heard about a

1040
01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:47.159
snag of any type? No?
I think if you're Joe Burrow, you

1041
01:16:47.159 --> 01:16:50.680
want to see what Justin Herbert signs
for. First in Los Angeles, so

1042
01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:56.479
two dominoes have fallen. First was
Jalen Hurts. Second was Lamar Jackson.

1043
01:16:57.119 --> 01:17:00.079
And the good news for the owners
of the Bengals and the or the Bengals

1044
01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:03.159
and the Ravens and the Eagles and
the Chargers is none of those deals look

1045
01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:09.319
like Deshaun Watsons. So once all
right, there had to be another contract

1046
01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:12.960
that wasn't like Deshaun Watson's. That
was Jalen Hurts. Well, Lamar Jackson

1047
01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:15.800
has been an MVP, so he
gets a little bit more than Jalen Hurts.

1048
01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:23.000
Justin Herbert should be next a star
quarterback Worlds of Potential. He's won

1049
01:17:23.119 --> 01:17:26.680
zero playoff games, Joe Burrows one
five, So if I'm Joe Burrow,

1050
01:17:27.039 --> 01:17:30.680
I'm not making less money than a
guy who was taking seventeen picks after me,

1051
01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:34.720
who I've won more than. So
I'm guessing once there's a Herbert deal,

1052
01:17:34.840 --> 01:17:39.239
that a Burrow deal then happens pretty
quickly thereafter. So it's about one

1053
01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:42.840
eighty five and one ninety million guaranteed, five year deal, two hundred and

1054
01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:45.880
sixty million dollars, sign your name, get going? Do you like that?

1055
01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:48.560
The average annual value of the Lamar
deal I think was what fifty two

1056
01:17:48.600 --> 01:17:53.319
mill per So Joe's going to get
more than that. Joe's taking his team

1057
01:17:53.359 --> 01:17:57.199
to the Super Bowl, Lamar hasn't. But then there's the mechanics of do

1058
01:17:57.199 --> 01:18:00.119
they get a Logan Wilson contract extension
done? And do they get a T.

1059
01:18:00.359 --> 01:18:04.840
Higgins contract extension done before the great
Number one? That's right, yes,

1060
01:18:04.880 --> 01:18:10.680
before Jamar Chase at the end of
next season. But the Borough thing,

1061
01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:13.880
I think if we get to the
start of camp and there's not a

1062
01:18:13.920 --> 01:18:17.640
deal done, that would be a
little concerning. We're still ten eleven weeks

1063
01:18:17.640 --> 01:18:21.079
away. Let's turn the page to
the Reds. Of course, you know

1064
01:18:21.319 --> 01:18:26.159
that I made a quiet bed of
over sixty five and a half, which

1065
01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:29.079
I still you did too. Yes, it looks to me. I felt

1066
01:18:29.079 --> 01:18:30.880
better early on, but as long
as you have those three hammers going.

1067
01:18:31.279 --> 01:18:35.279
But Lodolo has looked It looked not
up to the standards of Hunter Green on

1068
01:18:35.439 --> 01:18:42.079
a Green and Ashcraft had terrible last
outings, especially Graham. It was awful

1069
01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:45.439
anything. Because both those guys are
horses. Lodolo tends to be a little

1070
01:18:45.479 --> 01:18:48.000
bit of a whip. It reminds
me a little bit of Randy Johnson.

1071
01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:51.239
But the two guys are big guys
and strong, and so do you have

1072
01:18:51.319 --> 01:18:56.960
hope. I have long term hope. What I hope happens is in the

1073
01:18:57.119 --> 01:19:00.920
coming days. The Reds had young
talent and players who deserve to be here,

1074
01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:05.319
like Matt McLean, Christian and carnassion
Strand going into last night, had

1075
01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:11.399
a slugging percentage of over eight hundred. Andrew Abbott has arguably been the best

1076
01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:15.720
pitcher in all of minor league baseball. Elladela Cruz is coming. He got

1077
01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:18.560
up to a slow start once he
was able to play for Louisville. He

1078
01:19:18.560 --> 01:19:24.840
has since performed better. Matt McLean
has been terrific. Those guys deserve to

1079
01:19:24.920 --> 01:19:28.039
be here. And if you're gonna
tell me, while there's a log jam

1080
01:19:28.079 --> 01:19:30.199
there's too many guys, I would
say that this team's record should be better.

1081
01:19:30.239 --> 01:19:34.000
There aren't too many guys. There's
seven games under five hundred. They're

1082
01:19:34.039 --> 01:19:39.920
not contending for anything. Get the
guys up here and let David Bell determine

1083
01:19:39.960 --> 01:19:44.079
who's gonna play where and when,
and how to develop these guys and let

1084
01:19:44.079 --> 01:19:46.079
them get big league experience. But
the good news is, Willie, if

1085
01:19:46.079 --> 01:19:51.159
you talk to people before the season
who you know cover organizations and prospects and

1086
01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:56.439
farm systems, each of them were
very encouraged about what the Reds would put

1087
01:19:56.479 --> 01:20:00.800
on the field and places like Louisville
and Chattanooga and even lower And here we

1088
01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:04.119
are two months in almost two months
in I guess, and the good things

1089
01:20:04.159 --> 01:20:09.760
that people thought were happening with the
farm system have happened. Maha mcclan looks

1090
01:20:09.800 --> 01:20:13.199
like a big league caliber infielder.
Well why not have pitched? What might

1091
01:20:13.199 --> 01:20:15.760
not have one of the stud pitchers
down below come up and throw a couple

1092
01:20:16.039 --> 01:20:19.079
against a bad major league team?
That makes sense. I would have Andrew

1093
01:20:19.119 --> 01:20:21.439
Abbot pitch, yes, Because if
you want to say, well, he's

1094
01:20:21.479 --> 01:20:26.359
not a finished product, well,
well he's thrown one hundred and fifty minor

1095
01:20:26.439 --> 01:20:30.000
league innings plus college. He's gonna
turn twenty four years old June first.

1096
01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:32.840
He had a comparable amount of minor
league innings under his belt, and Hunter

1097
01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:36.680
Green did when he was called up, more college innings obviously than any of

1098
01:20:36.680 --> 01:20:42.039
those guys. So I'd give him
a shot. You have your three horses

1099
01:20:42.119 --> 01:20:45.840
are not finished products. That's okay. Let Andrew Abbott get some of the

1100
01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:49.720
growing pains behind him instead of running
out there. The likes of Luke Weaver

1101
01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:55.439
and specifically Luis Sessa. And at
this point, of course, the Reds

1102
01:20:55.880 --> 01:20:58.520
are not going to win the Division, of course, and they're not going

1103
01:20:58.600 --> 01:21:01.239
to get to the wildcard. But
hopefully everyone says in two or three years,

1104
01:21:01.239 --> 01:21:04.560
the team's ready and let's go.
I tell you what if you if

1105
01:21:04.600 --> 01:21:08.560
you kind of listen to what people
who cover the Reds are saying about the

1106
01:21:08.560 --> 01:21:12.520
state of that system versus what people
are saying in Saint Louis about the Cardinals.

1107
01:21:12.840 --> 01:21:15.199
Reds look like they're in better shape. We think about that, how

1108
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:18.279
many times over the last twenty five
thirty years have you been able to say

1109
01:21:18.319 --> 01:21:23.000
that. Never. There is a
nice collection of young talent, and yeah,

1110
01:21:23.039 --> 01:21:26.279
we would like some of these guys
to progress at a more rapid pace.

1111
01:21:26.800 --> 01:21:30.399
But I think we went into this
season thinking that by twenty twenty five

1112
01:21:30.479 --> 01:21:31.800
this team might be able to contend. I still feel that way, and

1113
01:21:31.920 --> 01:21:36.840
it's Saint Louis Cardinals unbelievable. They
had a great run last year, especially

1114
01:21:36.880 --> 01:21:41.960
with Albert doing what he did,
and of course the retirement of Yadier Molina

1115
01:21:42.079 --> 01:21:45.359
is a positive. But I think
in the future the Reds are a stock

1116
01:21:45.399 --> 01:21:47.600
that's going to be a lot more
valuable than the Cardinals, and Cardinals are

1117
01:21:47.800 --> 01:21:53.079
disliked in this town but respected.
The Steelers are disliked but respected. And

1118
01:21:53.159 --> 01:21:56.359
nonetheless, the Steelers are going down. And I think the Cardinals also,

1119
01:21:56.439 --> 01:22:00.760
I agree with you. I think
I think the Reds have a nice stockpile

1120
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:03.479
of really good, young, talented
guys. Now again, you want to

1121
01:22:03.520 --> 01:22:08.039
see more moments from Jose Berrero.
You would like to see more from Spencer

1122
01:22:08.159 --> 01:22:12.079
Steer. You would like to have
some clarity that's going to happen long term

1123
01:22:12.079 --> 01:22:15.159
with Tyler Stevenson. Nick Senzell has
had his moments, was the NL Player

1124
01:22:15.159 --> 01:22:18.680
of the Week two weeks ago.
But I think the good news is it

1125
01:22:18.720 --> 01:22:21.720
looks like there's even better players than
that on the horizon. I'd just like

1126
01:22:21.760 --> 01:22:25.720
to see him sooner rather than later. So you you're you're keeping hope alive

1127
01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:30.119
of course temporarily. Yes, go
out on a limb. It's now Thursday,

1128
01:22:30.239 --> 01:22:35.920
eight o five pm. What happens
Where are the Bengals relative to opening

1129
01:22:36.119 --> 01:22:40.720
weekend? I'm gonna say they open
the week, open the season on the

1130
01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:46.159
road Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers on
the road again, and that way,

1131
01:22:46.520 --> 01:22:51.840
folks like me can go to Pittsburgh
and see the Bearcats play pitt on Saturday.

1132
01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:57.520
The Steelers play the Bengals on Sunday. Where's Tony Pike? Him?

1133
01:22:57.880 --> 01:23:00.199
A man who owns that stadium?
It's no longer called Hinesfield. What's it

1134
01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:04.920
called now? Accuser Stadium or something? Pike to Ben's best moment I've ever

1135
01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:08.640
been in attendance for us a sportsman, you see football? That was it?

1136
01:23:09.399 --> 01:23:13.399
Well for I positive since all right, thank you very much. All

1137
01:23:13.479 --> 01:23:15.880
right, Bill, let's continue with
more news in the Stuge Reporter next at

1138
01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:19.479
your home of the Reds, kicking
off about five forty tonight on news radio

1139
01:23:19.520 --> 01:23:25.439
seven hundred WLW. My doctor told
me I should start swimming laughs for exercise,

1140
01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:30.560
but I found out he got his
medical degree in Granada wherever that is,

1141
01:23:30.079 --> 01:23:33.880
So instead I head to the pool
and listened to Scott Sloan show bull

1142
01:23:33.880 --> 01:23:38.039
Side. Listening is perfect for my
show. Work on your tan while we

1143
01:23:38.079 --> 01:23:41.319
take on the important stuff and have
a little fun doing it. He's pretty

1144
01:23:41.319 --> 01:23:45.479
funny and very smart. You know. I'm that he knows where Granada is.

1145
01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:48.680
It's down there by those other countries. Check out Slowney tomorrow morning to

hey, I'll come Kuta took your

1162
01:25:00.279 --> 01:25:14.840
that's a time. Oh hello,
hello, quiet, I'm broadcasting. That's

1163
01:25:14.880 --> 01:25:16.479
one of my members of Mount Rushmore, which, by the way, is

1164
01:25:16.520 --> 01:25:20.880
now racist to talk about Mount Rushmore. I've seen that with Rocky's good friend

1165
01:25:20.960 --> 01:25:27.520
Stephen A. Smith. It is
racist to talk about Mount Rushmore because of

1166
01:25:27.560 --> 01:25:31.159
the Indian of our national mind.
It's racist. It's an Indian graveyard,

1167
01:25:32.399 --> 01:25:35.840
Indian graveyard. Rock, What are
you looking forward to on Thursday? You're

1168
01:25:35.920 --> 01:25:40.399
standing there, you're talking, you're
walking, you're doing everything. What's happening

1169
01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:44.199
on Thursday with the Bengal Sketcher.
I don't know someone telling you what is

1170
01:25:44.239 --> 01:25:47.079
going what is happening, what's happening? Segment is getting released. It's got

1171
01:25:47.119 --> 01:25:50.680
to be anywhere. No one's told
me anything real. You haven't heard anything,

1172
01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:56.840
Rock, You've heard nothing. Well
apparently, Uh, there's gonna be

1173
01:25:57.000 --> 01:26:03.880
three games on Christmas Day because Christmas
Day falls on Monday this year, and

1174
01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:10.239
there's gonna be a Black Friday game
on Tuesday. So you're gonna come to

1175
01:26:10.399 --> 01:26:14.920
You're gonna have Thanksgiving three games,
you know, Detroit, Dallas or whoever,

1176
01:26:15.399 --> 01:26:17.920
and then that that Black Friday,
the next day you're gonna have a

1177
01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:21.680
game. So six games, that's
twelve teams are gonna be playing on either

1178
01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:28.199
Thanksgiving or Christmas. The chances one
of those are the Bengals, I'd say

1179
01:26:28.279 --> 01:26:31.199
two or three times. Yep,
God did to play on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

1180
01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:38.079
And then teams can be on Thursday
Night football apparently twice instead of just

1181
01:26:38.239 --> 01:26:45.359
once. God, if somebody's gonna
be working be they're playing. The league

1182
01:26:45.439 --> 01:26:47.840
is very concerned about players safety right
as you can see as I can tell

1183
01:26:47.920 --> 01:26:51.439
that, no question about that.
Apparently. The season schedule, according to

1184
01:26:51.560 --> 01:26:58.439
the NFL experts, are gonna feature
fourteen playoff rematches from last season, like

1185
01:26:58.640 --> 01:27:04.159
including a conference championship games with the
Bengals and Chiefs and the divisional games Bengals

1186
01:27:04.199 --> 01:27:09.800
and Bills. NFL does a great
job with that of getting the matchups that

1187
01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:14.079
they want to see. And small
market Where in the world are the Bengals

1188
01:27:14.119 --> 01:27:18.600
in Kansas City throwing the Packers?
Really some of the Marquis franchises have no

1189
01:27:18.840 --> 01:27:24.279
population based upon which but it's a
national sport, it's the National Football League,

1190
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:28.439
and all of a sudden, hell
and the Bengals. The Chiefs built

1191
01:27:28.520 --> 01:27:32.920
upon the backs of two quarterbacks,
two exceptional, very exception on the land,

1192
01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:36.960
Andy Reid, and maybe Zach Taylor
not so much him yet not yet.

1193
01:27:38.239 --> 01:27:43.000
Zach Taylor hasn't gotten to the path
and on a great Bengal? Have

1194
01:27:43.159 --> 01:27:45.000
they have? They given Joe Burrow
the bag? Yet? What about the

1195
01:27:45.079 --> 01:27:49.800
bag? I mentioned this to mo
Where is the bag of cash segment?

1196
01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:56.840
Where is the still being loaded up? They got dump trucks coming dropping.

1197
01:27:58.119 --> 01:28:04.479
I talked to our Once you see
the armored cars encircling Pete or pay Cores

1198
01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:09.560
Stadium, that's when it happens.
Open up. Here's the hundred dollar bills,

1199
01:28:09.720 --> 01:28:13.560
Joe. You imagine that? Have
at it sent across the table from

1200
01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:16.000
a piece of paper and a pen
that says you're going to get I don't

1201
01:28:16.039 --> 01:28:18.920
know. It would be between one
hundred and ninety five and two hundred million,

1202
01:28:19.039 --> 01:28:25.319
guaranteed. Give me the bank routing
number and your account number. Give

1203
01:28:25.359 --> 01:28:30.439
me about nine what is the interest
on Let's just say one hundred million a

1204
01:28:30.600 --> 01:28:33.920
year, just in like a five
five million a year if you don't touch

1205
01:28:33.960 --> 01:28:39.119
the principle and today you can get
five percent pretty easy that's five million dollars

1206
01:28:39.319 --> 01:28:43.159
risk free, never touch it.
Yeah, every year and then compounding interests.

1207
01:28:43.159 --> 01:28:45.840
I mean, it's it's unbelievable.
I want that ten to go to

1208
01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:48.000
the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Encanton, I'm gonna have to talk to

1209
01:28:48.079 --> 01:28:53.079
ass the pen that he signed the
deal. But now, wait a minute,

1210
01:28:53.239 --> 01:28:57.079
Wait a minute. I just saw
something on Twitter that the Chiefs are

1211
01:28:57.199 --> 01:29:01.119
going to make Patrick mahomes. They're
gonna rework is deal. So he's the

1212
01:29:01.239 --> 01:29:06.600
highest paid guy. What Lamar Jackson. Millions of dollars are like irrelevant?

1213
01:29:06.880 --> 01:29:11.479
An extra million. These owners are
so rich anymore. They've got so many

1214
01:29:11.520 --> 01:29:15.079
other businesses. That's why they can
fire a coach, you know, one

1215
01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:18.560
year into a four year deal.
Oh just whatever, We'll just sell some

1216
01:29:18.720 --> 01:29:23.399
stock. Well, we got it. We got time for mediocrity. We're

1217
01:29:23.439 --> 01:29:27.560
plowing forward with excellence. I want
a tax question answered. I should call

1218
01:29:27.640 --> 01:29:31.960
Al Ricito immediately. This is the
question. If you have a bonus and

1219
01:29:32.119 --> 01:29:35.640
you sign it in a state,
in a township without income tax, such

1220
01:29:35.720 --> 01:29:40.800
as Sycamore Township or such as the
state of State of Florida, state of

1221
01:29:40.840 --> 01:29:45.600
Texas, there is no state income
tax, do you pay tax on that

1222
01:29:45.720 --> 01:29:47.920
money if you signed for the bonus
and take the chat. Because having gotten

1223
01:29:47.920 --> 01:29:51.920
a signing bonus from the state of
Texas, which does not have a state

1224
01:29:53.000 --> 01:29:56.000
income tax, I did not have
to pay state income tax on the bonus.

1225
01:29:56.079 --> 01:29:58.359
So someone needs to get to Joe
Burrow and say, look, if

1226
01:29:58.399 --> 01:30:01.680
there's one hundred million dollars its go
sign with thirty team in Florida, Go

1227
01:30:01.880 --> 01:30:06.079
sign with a team in Texas.
The Texans what they had use a quarterback

1228
01:30:06.159 --> 01:30:11.119
even though they drafted one. Then
we got Trevor Simeon. I talked to

1229
01:30:11.199 --> 01:30:14.600
the power brokers in New York City. When you sign a deal, there's

1230
01:30:14.640 --> 01:30:18.159
thirty nine point six Federally, it's
a twelve percent state, which gets up

1231
01:30:18.199 --> 01:30:23.039
to fifty one percent, and then
there's a seven percent city New York Tech

1232
01:30:23.119 --> 01:30:26.000
gets up to fifty eight percent,
and your agent fee is three percent.

1233
01:30:26.119 --> 01:30:28.600
That's sixty one percent, and throw
in two and a half percent for the

1234
01:30:28.680 --> 01:30:32.720
metro tax. High Way journals pay
a quote MTA tax, so you pay

1235
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:38.760
about broke six to sixty five percent. He's broke. You pay up front

1236
01:30:39.479 --> 01:30:43.000
and I second, what now?
Now, the good news is in the

1237
01:30:43.159 --> 01:30:48.079
NFL, you are paid, you
know, each week from in the city

1238
01:30:48.159 --> 01:30:50.840
you play in. Right, So
even if you're a member of the Bengals,

1239
01:30:50.880 --> 01:30:56.039
you play a game in Dallas,
that check it will be state income

1240
01:30:56.119 --> 01:30:59.520
tax free. Well, so if
you play for a few words, I

1241
01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:02.680
had to file ten income taxes every
year, and some of your people do

1242
01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:05.920
that. Some of your peeps never
did that stuff sake, so you have

1243
01:31:06.319 --> 01:31:12.880
So if you go to New York
and play the Jets, Jets, Jets,

1244
01:31:13.279 --> 01:31:16.399
Jets, Jets, that means Joe
Burrow is paying how much of the

1245
01:31:16.479 --> 01:31:20.720
city of New York. Correction we're
talking about it is we're talking to some

1246
01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:24.600
money. Yeah, So you don't
want to look down on schedule and see,

1247
01:31:25.600 --> 01:31:28.600
you know, look New York,
Philadelphia, La, Chicago. Yes,

1248
01:31:29.319 --> 01:31:32.800
correct, I want to see California, New York for sure, Dallas,

1249
01:31:32.880 --> 01:31:36.399
Houston, Tampa Bay. But but
that's a significant if you're a free

1250
01:31:36.439 --> 01:31:40.680
agent, that's and you're talking in
the ranges of you know, hundreds of

1251
01:31:40.760 --> 01:31:45.720
millions of dollars. That is a
significant, significant difference from just one state

1252
01:31:45.800 --> 01:31:49.560
over from the next. Why would
somebody play in California or New York or

1253
01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:54.960
Illinois. Now you could argue why
they want to play in California, because

1254
01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:58.600
of the connection to the film world, and they get these deals and Hollywood

1255
01:31:58.680 --> 01:32:00.520
and all that sort of stuff.
But tell him that the incentive is a

1256
01:32:00.600 --> 01:32:05.319
playing in New York now Chicago.
You got to live there sometimes be around.

1257
01:32:05.399 --> 01:32:09.680
It's terrible, that's awful, awful
to live in New York. Do

1258
01:32:09.720 --> 01:32:12.680
you think Aaron Rodgers has got some
kind of room like he had in Oregon

1259
01:32:12.720 --> 01:32:14.920
where he can just go in there
and sit in a dark for three or

1260
01:32:14.960 --> 01:32:18.800
four days and contemplate a Wicca hut. Sit there in the dark, have

1261
01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:24.800
some incense burning, and just contemplate
your fate segment and give me some sports

1262
01:32:24.840 --> 01:32:27.920
and make it fast. Will leave
the stude reporters a proud service. Every

window company where they sell the best and

today in college basketball, longtime Louisville Cardinals

1277
01:33:47.199 --> 01:33:51.439
head coach Denny Crumb has passed away
at eighty six. Two national titles at

1278
01:33:51.520 --> 01:33:57.800
UFL Nay Smith Hall of Fame and
ductee coach the Cardinals for thirty years from

1279
01:33:57.880 --> 01:34:02.359
nineteen seventy one to two thousand and
one, one NCAA titles in nineteen eighty

1280
01:34:02.399 --> 01:34:08.720
and eight nineteen eighty six, one
of only fourteen coaches in NCUBA history to

1281
01:34:08.840 --> 01:34:12.000
win two or more titles. The
best there was when he coached the best

1282
01:34:12.039 --> 01:34:16.239
there was the Colisseum. Events between
him and UC were unbelievable events. They

1283
01:34:16.319 --> 01:34:21.000
were good and when Yates was ptro
conference, all the good stuff nonetheless gone

1284
01:34:21.079 --> 01:34:25.039
with the wind. Denny Crumb and
us face that he did for you of

1285
01:34:25.199 --> 01:34:30.279
l what eight of Ruff Adolph Ruff
did at his grety good stuff. Yep.

1286
01:34:30.279 --> 01:34:32.279
What's on the big show with you
and Eddie? If anything? Well,

1287
01:34:32.279 --> 01:34:36.960
we're talking to your girlfriend Tanya,
rightwe ta? Tanya Rourke just called

1288
01:34:38.039 --> 01:34:40.920
me repeated Leah, it's too much. I can't return calls. I just

1289
01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:44.399
can't. I wish you're well,
very good, all right, good question

1290
01:34:45.479 --> 01:34:46.359
I will. What are you gonna
talk about with her? You have any

1291
01:34:46.359 --> 01:34:49.840
idea of District five? Closing about
that? How about that was they're going

1292
01:34:49.880 --> 01:34:55.319
to the four districts now couldn't didn't
find a home for District five, so

1293
01:34:55.439 --> 01:34:57.319
they just said the hell of it, and now we're gonna go to four.

1294
01:34:57.720 --> 01:35:00.119
Well, maybe I don't know that
no one's gonna be fired, not

1295
01:35:00.199 --> 01:35:01.800
that there would be any way to
fire, because the police force is already

1296
01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:05.880
undersestimated or better off than most cities. Most cities are decimated. At least

1297
01:35:06.079 --> 01:35:11.199
Cincinnati has a core group of you're
eighteen years old right now? Would you

1298
01:35:11.399 --> 01:35:15.800
know there's nothing wrong? I know
all of us are kind of eggheads here,

1299
01:35:15.840 --> 01:35:18.600
we all have college degrees, etc. But to become a butcher,

1300
01:35:18.640 --> 01:35:23.000
a baker, a candlestick maker,
be a plumber, electrician head on Christ

1301
01:35:23.039 --> 01:35:27.359
Smithman earlier about CPS. How to
go to a program where you don't teach

1302
01:35:27.439 --> 01:35:30.159
so much academics as you teach kids
how to be an electrician or a plumber

1303
01:35:30.199 --> 01:35:34.000
or a drywaller, lay down concrete. Stuff like that makes a lot of

1304
01:35:34.039 --> 01:35:39.840
sense. But if they're not showing
up, what do you doesn't matter?

1305
01:35:39.880 --> 01:35:42.920
What are you teach them? Yep? What you solve that? There's no

1306
01:35:43.119 --> 01:35:45.520
parent? Ho'm making them, you
know, go to school? What do

1307
01:35:45.560 --> 01:35:49.479
you do with that? That's a
problem. Twenty two thousand dollars per kid

1308
01:35:49.600 --> 01:35:56.079
per year? Twenty two thousand.
What does Santex cost seventeen twenty five thousand

1309
01:35:56.119 --> 01:35:59.960
dollars more at CPS to go to
Aiken. It's like, what do you

1310
01:36:00.159 --> 01:36:04.319
get when twenty five percent are chronically
absent every day? Another five to seven

1311
01:36:04.399 --> 01:36:08.159
thousand have simply dropped out. Don't
know where they are. Do you see

1312
01:36:08.239 --> 01:36:11.520
the stance? It's just signed a
bill that's going to allow teachers to demand

1313
01:36:11.680 --> 01:36:15.319
that kids can give up their give
up their cell phones during school. I

1314
01:36:15.399 --> 01:36:18.199
think it's a great idea. You
have to you have to why and have

1315
01:36:18.359 --> 01:36:20.439
you ever done this? I mean, I, you know, speak to

1316
01:36:20.479 --> 01:36:24.319
a bunch of groups. There's nothing
worse than looking out in a group of

1317
01:36:25.079 --> 01:36:28.720
thirty or one hundred people and you
know twenty of them are like looking down.

1318
01:36:28.920 --> 01:36:31.000
It's the worst. I couldn't imagine
being a teacher looking out a class

1319
01:36:31.039 --> 01:36:35.159
of thirty kids and twenty of them
are looking down their phones. Can't allow

1320
01:36:35.199 --> 01:36:40.000
that. You can't do it.
But at CPS, I'm told in many

1321
01:36:40.039 --> 01:36:44.079
school districts you can bring your phone
and then it's on someone's lap and they

1322
01:36:44.399 --> 01:36:48.279
communicate and it ruins education, doesn't
everything. So I don't know. Give

1323
01:36:48.319 --> 01:36:53.640
me the solution parenting, better parenting, that's a solution, will lead to

1324
01:36:54.079 --> 01:36:58.199
ninety five percent of the country's problems. Better parenting at least parents in the

1325
01:36:58.279 --> 01:37:01.600
home. Correct, it's not at
it begins it, So we'll see what

1326
01:37:01.680 --> 01:37:06.880
happens. Plus, Red's baseball off
at five forty tonight because Scherzers on the

1327
01:37:06.920 --> 01:37:10.199
mount. He thought he was going
to be the salvation. He's getting old.

1328
01:37:10.279 --> 01:37:15.359
How about tomorrow night though, justin
Verlander v. Hunter Green, pretty

1329
01:37:15.399 --> 01:37:17.760
good matchup there, it's a good
one. How about that. I would

1330
01:37:17.800 --> 01:37:23.279
take Hunter Gran to Morrow night and
Thursday afternoon and in the rids or off

1331
01:37:23.319 --> 01:37:29.439
to a road trip first stop in
Miami over the weekend next week Colorado by

1332
01:37:29.920 --> 01:37:34.720
five eighty five. Below we have
the Gene Carroll verdict is in against Donald

1333
01:37:34.800 --> 01:37:40.600
Trump. And it's not been announced
up, but verdict reached Gene Carroll in

1334
01:37:40.680 --> 01:37:46.439
the alleged rape of her bother Donald
at some undetermined point thirty five years thirty

1335
01:37:46.479 --> 01:37:50.119
five years, thirty five years ago, and we'll see what happens. I

1336
01:37:50.239 --> 01:37:54.760
think he's Henny Jerry in New York's
gonna bang to Donald and not treat him

1337
01:37:54.800 --> 01:37:59.439
well, but think he's not the
most popular character. And hell you say

1338
01:37:59.600 --> 01:38:01.119
the hell you say? Oh,
you're gonna go with the Trumpster on this

1339
01:38:01.239 --> 01:38:04.680
one, or I'll take Gene Carroll
if you take the Trumpster for a hot

1340
01:38:04.720 --> 01:38:12.119
Fudson. Now it's in Manhattan,
yea Manhatto. I'll take good. So

1341
01:38:12.279 --> 01:38:15.760
I want her. You're gonna have
the Donald? Okay, fine, fine,

1342
01:38:15.800 --> 01:38:17.279
you got it? Because then there's
another one tomorrow, he there's another

1343
01:38:17.319 --> 01:38:20.960
one. He'll he'll be indicted Georgia
from now on. Yeah, he'll spend

1344
01:38:21.000 --> 01:38:27.800
his life in court Edin. Yeah, it won't stop until he's elected to

1345
01:38:27.880 --> 01:38:30.399
the presidency. Then it will continue
for those four years. He can't only

1346
01:38:30.439 --> 01:38:33.159
serve four years, can't do another
four from the day he's elected. He's

1347
01:38:33.159 --> 01:38:36.800
a lame duck, but he'll be
a hell of a lame duck. What

1348
01:38:39.680 --> 01:38:45.800
be a lame duck? Quack quack
quack, untethered, unstoppable the Trumpster.

1349
01:38:45.479 --> 01:38:48.199
I bet you he gets the deal
done that you can get more more.

1350
01:38:48.600 --> 01:38:51.920
You know, he'll he'll rework the
deal that you can take more than two

1351
01:38:53.079 --> 01:38:56.079
terms. You take two thirds of
the House, two thirds of the Senate

1352
01:38:56.319 --> 01:38:59.239
plus three fourths of the states,
two thirds of the Senate. Can't agree

1353
01:38:59.319 --> 01:39:03.359
that a warm summerday is better than
us whether to walk out that door or

1354
01:39:03.439 --> 01:39:06.600

blamed. Of course they always are,

1359
01:39:23.479 --> 01:39:27.199
and it will be extended at some
point that we some deal deal and then

1360
01:39:27.239 --> 01:39:30.600
they'll be if if spending goes up
one percent every year, is that a

1361
01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:34.640
cut? No, media says,
that's a cut, and that expires and

1362
01:39:34.760 --> 01:39:40.880
