Him Billy cunning in the Great American Welcome this Friday afternoon of the tries day
to terrible weather once again, go to warm up this weekend in good ways.
Coming in about an hour is Leland Viddard of News Nation. This is
relatable to the NPR and one of the executive editors NPR has taken NPR to
task for being so liberal, not just liberal, but progressive and left of
that. And I know there was eighty seven registered Democrats working for NPR.
How many Republicans are independence The answer is zero. So it was advocacy journalism.
It wasn't actually fact based. It was based upon whatever the Democrats wanted
to be. And unlike Channel five, unlike WLWT television, we pay for
NPR. Unbelievable joining you and I now is the main anchor at Channel five,
that is Shari Pololo and Shari Pololo welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And Chari, how are you? I'm great, Willie? How are
you doing? Two or three big issues are happening? Are you ready to
accept my questions and provide coaching answers? I'll do my best right now.
Many families in March and April are spending their time picking a college for their
son or daughter to go to. And I know, I think you related
on the era with me that you had a son that wanted to, of
course go to college, and which may be a good idea, maybe a
bad idea, depending upon how you want to live your life, but you
took them to Miami. Now, as a parent, how do you process
the murders, sexual assaults, car break ins, and the other arm robberies
happening in and around the UC campus as a parent? Take off your anchor
hat, put on a parent hat. How do you process what's happening at
UC? Yeah, well it's easy for me, WILLI, because you know
I have three boys, one is a UC student, and then I have
a junior who right now we are visiting college campuses and he's deciding where he
wants to go. And you know, sadly, I worry every single day
about my son who's up there at UC. And uh, I think I've
told you before. His apartment was broken into last year, a kid in
this sche mask, a guy in a ski mask. But it's what we
see too often in the news business that really worries me. And I've told
my middle son. Hey, we've visited Ohio State, we went to Miami
last week. He had we had set up to go to UC this past
yesterday actually, and we canceled because he's a different kid. He first of
all, is not you know, one who kind of loves like that inner
city, you know, lifestyle. And I said, I know you,
you'll you will be afraid. And I hate to say that, but my
oldest son considered transferring last year. Look, they have a crime problem.
And the thing that I think is sad is we see it too often where
the university will say, well, it happened off campus, Well will you
and I've talked about this. The reality is that housing because they have so
many students that they were not prepared for housing where the kids eat, where
they party, it's all technically off campus. And yes, we saw it
a few weeks ago where this business student, he was a third year business
student, was shot and killed while trying to stop someone who was stealing his
car, breaking into his car and trying to take off with it. That
happened farther off campus. That was technically well was Mount Alburn. But you
still have so many other robberies and fast and things that are going on around
campus that sadly just don't get addressed. And I can't tell you how many
parents email me reach out to us and say you have to do something.
I mean, we had a student just earlier this week who talked with our
Lindsay Stone. A group of students who started their own online social media page
to alert each other because they feel like they don't get updated enough on what's
really going on. So unless there is a shooting around campus or some sort
of crime like that, they don't get alert and they want to know if
cars are getting broken into, or if kids are getting robbed, you know,
just off of campus. And the sad thing is that this is what
happens. You have people who come from the outside targeting these students because they
know they have cell phones, they have money. I mean, we just
had last June the landscaper who it was about eight blocks off of campus,
who is doing landscaping for uptown properties. Middle of the day, some guy
walks up to him says, give me your money, he doesn't have any,
and he gets shot in the head dead. It's a forty three year
old landscaper who was supposed to have a birthday, you know, a week
later and it's you know, sadly his family is left without him, And
so I think the bigger concern to me is a yes, you know,
you see, police can't be patrolling off campus, but they can do a
better job around campus. And then it has to be teaming up with Cincinnati
police, and goodness knows, the university is making plenty of money that they
can bring in more officers to help out. I think a lot of parents
and I have other parents who are deciding where they're you know, juniors and
seniors are going to go to school, and I have a lot of them
say to me, what do you think would you send now your your junior
there? Would you send my seventh I also a seventh grader. Look,
I knew about the crime issues at the University of Cincinnati before my now sophomore
went there. He was but he loves that school. I love that school.
It's they have a great business program, of course, a great medical
school. It's a great university. But there is a crime problem, and
yes, that comes with a lot of schools, universities that are centered around
the city. Ohio State has it. I'm sure UK has it. But
you have to come out and do something about it. And then there's the
human element, Willie, where as a parent, I mean, here,
you just had a business student shot and killed two weeks ago, and I
still haven't seen anybody from UC coming out as a human being saying we are
devastated that we lost one of our own. I watched some of the interviews
that happened that Lindsay Stone's report was wonderful. I would hope that you see
itself stick head in the sand, would get their head out of their sand
and say, you know what, we got a terrible crime problem and it's
got to stop. Part of it is that we have an Hamley County juvenile
court system now that doesn't believe in locking up kids for vicious crimes. That
these aren't kids dealing reesy bars from Walmart. This seventeen year old picked up
in the murder of Benjamin Addison from Turpin High School. I watched the interviews
that you conducted. Maybe it was one of your reporters with the mom and
that they had went to Turpin. Good kid. He worked in the library,
he was an orientation specialist for new and he went outside and I guess
he confronted those two thugs, those murderous thugs wanting to steal his vehicle.
And I think now you have to tell kids, hey, by the way,
if somebody breaks into your car or commits a property crime, accept it.
Do not confront them because you get on a juvenile court, and juvenile
court Hamlet County has a hands off approach to crime. And that's not the
case. It would be helpful if you see itself would say it takes a
student to organize this thing, and I would think co eds that you see
or even more at risk. You cannot consent to a rape or sexual assault
or a murder. You can't consent to have your property stolen. How many
times are kids coming out and the gun's put upside someone's head, Give me
your money, and the best thing to do is say, yes, sir,
here it is. And you have to tell your students that if your
car's being stolen, do not confront murderers. They're not dealt with well.
And that's the sadness of life that you see. And it's going to get
worse because juvenile court doesn't lock anybody up anymore. The seventeen year old is
down there now and Melissa Powers wants to try him as an adult. But
unless the kids bound over, he won't be tried as an adult. He'll
be going at the age of twenty one. That seventeen year old hasn't been
in school since his freshman year. And you know now you and of course
you know his a defense attorney set in court. Well, he has no
prior record, you know God, And that's I think the point. It's
like, well, you don't go from stealing a car and then shooting,
shooting and killing someone. I mean, you must have done this before and
just gotten away with it. And again there presumably is the second person out
there, because the seventeen year old who was arrested, who I believe police
they was the shooter who was in the passenger seat the driver took off.
There was another person in that car. So it is hard breaking, I
tell you what, Willy, that story rocked me because as a parent of
a UC student, and not to mention that family that was their only child,
he was an only child shot and killed. Well, they drove back
from being out on Saturday night together with a group of friends and get back
to a friend's apartment and interrupt someone stealing their car. Who would think they're
going to be shot and killed over that. I mean, what one of
us would not say, what are you doing? Stop? Stop right right?
And I do that. And you know, I told my my UC
student, I said, you do not if somebody if you're walking out of
a bar, you give them whatever they want. If they're stealing your car.
He doesn't have a car down there, but his roommates do tell them
to take the car, you know, and you hate to do that because
of course then these kids are going to be targets because everybody knows they're not
going to fight them, but or challenge them. It is a problem in
that, you know. I hate it for I think it's just such a
black eye on this university. And like I said, where is the leadership
to come out and say, we're not going to tolerate this. We're teaming
up with Cincinnati Police, We're doing everything we can. We're meeting with Chief
DG. We know we have got to protect our students. There are our
top privorate ority, you know, and we just don't hear that. Maybe
those conversations are going on behind closed doors. But I think as a parent
of a UC student and as a leader in this community, I want to
see it. Yeah, because I will tell you it makes you second guess
having your kids go there. Well maybe, And in this case, I'm
very much pushing my second son to go to Miami, to go to MTU,
to go to another school where there's not that kind of a crime problem
or concern. I mean, I have alerts that come onto my phone every
night. I sleep with my phone on because I'm afraid something's going to happen
on that campus. And you went to NK, you I went to Xavier
zavior has its own crime problem, not as bad as you see. And
then Miami is in the domain of Richard K. Jones. I have a
sense that if a kid goes to Miami, the odds are getting shot or
robbed almost non existent. NKU, I'm sure has crime, but not the
kinds of crimes happening on a regular basis a U see. And the key
element is to have the university leadership get with their campus police and CPD and
get to juvenile court and saying this cannot stand because right now you can break
into cars and steal cars all day and there's no consequence in juvenile court because
one thing leads to the other and right now. Judge Kerry Bloom, who's
the administrative judge in Hamlet County, will freely tell you she's done with the
high school to prison pipeline. Well, there's one kid here, the seventeen
year old I had on I run out of write about three months ago.
About seventy percent of black males are chronically absent a CPS seventy percent. And
what are they doing all day? And this is one example. He's not
been to school since he was fourteen, doesn't work. What do you do
all day when you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, other than drink, smoke
and go out there and commit crimes because it's culturally acceptable in some quarters the
face of crime and Cincinnati exactly why that's that's the reason. Yeah, truely,
that's exactly why I say to my boys. If you don't have if
you're not playing a sport in high school for one season or at all,
you're working the minute you can work, because you don't need that much time
on your hands. My kids are all good students, they're all you know,
have all been involved in extracurriculars. But when they decided my two older
boys decided to not play football, I said, all right, you're getting
a job because you don't need Monday through Friday to come home at three o'clock
in the afternoon, because I know you're not steadying for six hours, So
you know, I agree with you. Look, and the superintendent, she
has taken heat because she has made changes that maybe teachers and staffers don't like.
But I tell you what, We've had her on our four o'clock show
many times. She is tough, and I always chat with my colleagues and
I really like her because she's transparent. She talks about the problem of getting
kids at CPS to go to school, not just the being late to go
to school, I mean the amount of kids who are not going to school
within Cincinnati, the city of Cincinnati is shocking and concerning because again, just
like you said, Willie, if they're not in school learning, what are
they doing smoking into trouble, smoking, drinking? An idle mind is the
devil's workshop, and there's lots of work to do, and it's a terrible.
Well, look what happened on Easter Sunday night downtown when you had five
hundred kids wouding in downtown Cincinnati, shooting guns. I cop told me they
were shooting at barges, and they were shooting at things, and knives are
out, fistfights are taking place, ransacking certain restaurants like Morline, and the
cops show up, and a cop told me, look, we're told don't
arrest anybody unless it is absolutely required, because if they focus on one or
two or three kids getting arrested, there's two or three hundred more doing other
stuff. So there's no arrest. When you get to juvenile court under Judge
carry Bloom, there's no consequence, there's no punishment, and then you're released
to kind of laugh and snicker and go back to your lifestyle. And somehow
Cincinnati we're about ten years behind Chicago, Portland, Atlanta, Washington, DC.
But we're gonna get there unless we change fundamentally and begins with leadership like
at UC to tell their students when crime. I was told one reason they
don't do that is just too many crimes. And all they're going to get
is every hour on the hour, there'll be more warnings and threats. That's
a problem too. As a prompt, And to your point about the teenagers
who were you know, hundreds of them on Easter Sunday, that evening.
I mean what a ripple effect is that you have businesses who, you know,
feel that when there are crowds of teenagers who are getting doing nothing but
probably you know, getting into trouble or at least you know, intimidating people
who are down there, you know. And then you have people from the
suburbs who say, well, I'm not going to go down there, but
if I feel like it's not safe along the banks, right, So it
really is such a ripple effect. And you're right. I have Cincinnati Police
officers who talk to me about it all the time. A friend of mine
said, and listen, I have CPD officers who are in my family and
Hamilton County deputies. And I've had friends of mine who say, look,
your definition of a twelve year old or a thirteen year old is much different
than mine, because the kids that were dealing with Tuauten, who are involved
in these shootings are involved in, you know, activities your kids haven't even
heard about, you know, because it is a different life for these kids.
They have parents who either aren't around or aren't involved many of them,
or the ones who are trying to keep them away from that element. Because
it does suck them in. When your friends are on the streets and they're
making money by being a drug runner or or something else, you're bound to
You're bound to get sucked into that activity where it starts out as just a
little thing that you're just going to try to make a little money because maybe
your family isn't able to provide and you have no really guidance in your household.
When you come home, no one's there looking out for you. Of
course you're going to get into trouble. And it is such a ripple effect.
We got to run Sharia Palula. I want to talk to you about
Joe Burrow's alien comments. I guess he believes in aliens visiting Earth. Joe
Burrow. I want to talk about a former teacher pleading guilty to having sucks
with a student who says I'm going to continue the relationship. I wanted to
talk to you about Middletown could allow marijuana businesses to set up shop and more.
Well, we'll save that for another day. Chari Pulllo, once again,
thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Give my best of
Mike and the k rob all right, I sure will love you. Willie
have a great weekend. God bless America. Let's continue with more the line
becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand.
My comments are next and more at your home of the Reds playing in
Chicago tonight. I think air Time's about six forty a news radio seven hundred
WLW today will be Leland Venderd of News Nation about the Trump trial on Monday
and also the fact that NPR, as taxpayers, we pay for left wing
liberal propaganda exclusively on NPR, and it's terrible radio. It's awful. It's
government funded radio, which is a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, not
any news gathering organization NPR. Let's continue. Benjamin Benjamin Addison of Turpin High
School goes down to UC. He's in his third year, but every fair
measurement is a good kid. I watched his mom and dad testify and talk
to Lindsey Stone and Shriek Pollolo at Channel five about their only son. Good
kid worked on the library. I assume he was paid by UC to do
something. He was also an orientation counselor. He would hook up with the
incoming freshmen to orientate them toward campus at UC with forty thousand students, and
to this moment, not to my knowledge or to Sri Pelo's knowledge, has
anyone offer condolences to the family put out some community wide alert. And the
reason is this, there's so much crime committed mainly off campus, but some
on campus, but mainly off campus, that every hour of every every day,
there would be alerts sent out to the student body and to professors and
teachers' aids and employees, et cetera, that another crime was committed, another
crime was committed. That's all they would do is put out push alerts.
But all the crime in and around uce so rarely do they put out an
alert because that's all they would do is put out alerts. Well, it's
a problem. On any major city which has a large campus, it's a
problem. And once again, can I say this any more loud or more
often than I do? The face of crime in Cincinnati is a young black
male face. But the great majority of young black males have nothing to do
with crime. In fact, they're the victims of it. I'll give you
some stats. There's about thirty five thousand students at CPS, seventy percent or
black. That means twenty three twenty four thousand students there are black. Of
that number, half are black males, which is about twelve thousand black males.
Twelve thousand. So if you take away the first twelve years of someone's
life, that number is about eight thousand Black males in the category between the
ages of ten and eighteen. Twelve thousand, pretty good number. There's not
more than three or four hundred involved in the juvenile court system at any point.
Those are the ones that have been caught. So the great majority of
black males have nothing to do with crime. They're good kids. They're Chris
Smitherman's sons, good kids. Great majority. But on the other hand,
if you sit in room ay or go down to juvenile court, I guarantee
you well over seventy percent, might be ninety percent of the faces are young
black males between the ages of fifteen and thirty. It's a serious problem.
When I was in the Hamley County Public Defender's office, our clientele intake sheet
had race and it was over ninety percent. To give you a thirty thousand
foot perspective, if you break down by race and age, demographic demographic groups
in America, two percent of the American people two percent are between the ages
and fifteen and thirty Black males. Two percent of that three hundred and thirty
five million, I think is more like three hundred and sixty million, but
two percent a very small number. But of that two percent, that group
commits fifty percent of the murders in New York City. It's seventy five percent
of serious crime in New York City committed by black males age of fifteen and
thirty. Well, it's equally to the great majority of black males have nothing
to do with crime because they're victims of it and they're good kids. And
to have the attorney, which I love lawyers, you know that you got
to say something when I actively practice law. I had a murder case,
so I tried to personalize my client, talk about all his contributions to society,
et cetera. But the attorney for who murdered the murderer of Benjamin Addison
said he's seventeen years old, never been arrested before. Well, guess did
anyone believe that's the first time he committed a crime. Hijack at a car,
shooting somebody a young again mom is black, a young black kid at
a U see Benjamin Addison. No, so at a minimum, you see
leadership, the president, the board of trustees, the chief of the police,
and I know the chief police fairly well. It's a good guy,
but he can't put it out without the leadership of the president or the board
of trustees to notify on serious cases, serious offenses, and said we can't
have this. We sit here about two weeks later, and you see has
said nothing about the murder of one of their students. It's truly, it's
in a won't stop unless you have a juvenile court system in Hamlet County run
by Judge Kerrie Bloom, who's a social justice activist who spent time in far
left, progressive liberal causes for most of our adult life before she became a
judge, And she defeated a really good judge named John Williams, a Republican.
But he worked to put those who commit serious crime in prison and to
get programs for those who needed help to get out of the terrible circumstances in
which they find themselves. And I don't know what changes we consider and flap
our jaws all afternoon, but Cincinnati is about ten years behind New York,
Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Atlanta, and we're headed on
the same course. The cops in Cincinnati are pretty damn good. Talk to
them, they'll tell you the reality. And there's a juvenile, there's a
municipal court judge. Another social activist I had on Dan Hill's on this about
three months ago. He brought it up. The cops who work a third
shift and they get off at seven am. Quite often they're doing court at
nine o'clock or ten o'clock in the morning, so they go into work about
eleven pm and they get off their shift by seven am unless something's going on.
So Hamliny County Municipal Court has always had a policy where when the cop
comes in in uniform with a gun, full uniform, he or she sits
in the jury box because there's not a jury going on the great majority of
time and municipal court it might be twenty to thirty cases on the docket.
Most of them are sentencing or motions, not trials. Trials are held in
the afternoon, so the jury box is empty. The cops are encouraged to
be in jurybox because they've just spent a long day on the main streets of
Cincinnati they're tired. They don't want to be milling around in the hallway with
criminal defendants and witnesses and gangbangers. They don't want to sit in the audience
with the same crew, so they're separated a little bit. They sit in
the jurybox. There are judges in municipal court that won't let cops in uniform
they're on duty to sit in the jury box because it sends the wrong message
about special treatment. Are you kidding me? Cops are special, they deserve
special treatment. But we have a philosophy now put out by the Liberal Democratic
Party and the judges they elect to show disrespect to law enforcement, force me
the cop to stand in the hallway for an hour or two or three,
or sit in the audience section of a courtroom that may be packed and stacked
with the criminal defendants and witnesses. That's not the way things are supposed.
What is the attitude now in many cities in this country? And it's said
secondly, as you know Donald Trump, it appears and no one, most
of us thought, well, they're not going to go through with this crap.
On Monday, He's going to sit in a dirty New York City courtroom
for weeks and weeks and weeks as the leading candidate for the presidency, with
Secret Service protection and a dirty New York City courtroom, trying to pick a
jury on his porn star case. Alvin braggs Alvin Bragg had numerous meetings in
Washington about when to indict Donald Trump on what charges, as did Fanny Willis.
There's a holy cabal between Washington, d C. And New York City
and Atlanta to get Trump to keep him either off the ballot and diet it
convicted or in courtrooms so he can't campaign. He can't campaign. I've been
in those trials that take weeks and weeks and weeks, and when you're in
trial, you get up two to three hours before you prepare those days witnesses
and questions, look at the law, interact with the other lawyers on the
case to see what is appropriate what is not. You go into court and
you'll sit there and as a criminal defendant, participating in the defense until three
or four or five pm in the afternoon. Then afterwards you go back to
the law office with your client to talk about what happened that day. It's
a six am to nine pm kind of a day. You cannot be a
seventy seven year old man on trial that could have a sentence, a life
sentence for some crap, sitting in in your city courtroom for weeks or months.
You can't campaign, can't don't have the energy to get up, you
know, and then all of a sudden go to a campaign stop that Donald
has no idea the emotional pain and torment he's going to go through for the
next four to nine weeks, and the Democratic Party wants to keep him locked
down in the courtroom so he cannot campaign. Then the media coverage is going
to be awful. The media coverage has always been terrible about Donald Trump,
who did nothing right and did everything wrong. Ongeman bad orangeman that's real bad.
And this is a specific campaign strategy of the Democrat Party, either to
get him convicted before the election or make sure that emotionally he's tormented to death
and can't run a fitting campaign. It is unbelievable. Also, leftist progressives
liberals are terribly anti Semitic. They're like the pro activist wing of the Democratic
Party that supports Hamas. And I watch what's going on mainly in Michigan,
but also at the UC campus in which hamas sympathizers run around screaming, hollering,
and shouting death to Israel, Death to America. These students and activists
want to kill Americans and kill Jews. They vandalize buildings, threatened Jews like
at Columbia University, cheering on the martyrs as they call them, shutting down
events, making sure that no one can speak. And I like to know
where are the government officials who keep telling you and I that a Trump supporter,
a Mega member, is probably the next Timothy McVeigh, the director of
the FBI, testified and the chairman of the Joint Chief said the number one
threat to America is white supremacy and number two is climate change. In the
meantime, we have left wrong radical democrats who hate Jews and hate this country
on college campuses and elsewhere, vandalizing buildings, shutting people down, threatened to
kill, being radicalized. As we typically understand it, it's it's to me,
it's it's it's unbelievable. I've never had a feeling coming out of a
Roman Catholic church, whether it's Saint Gertru's or Lady of Victory or the cathedral.
And I came out as a practicing Roman Catholic and the first thing I
want to do is kill somebody. Death to the Jews, death to America.
I never had that feeling. I come out with good sense and my
heart and my soul. I come out thinking that's pretty good. I'm glad
I went. The most dangerous place to be after Friday prayers is in and
around a mosque in which the participants come out wanting to kill somebody. To
me, it's unbelievable. And if you're a member of a great party,
the Liberal Democratic Party, and you want to base your campaign on the killing
of unborn babies, we're going to build a campaign to encourage mothers to kill
their unborn, healthy babies, maybe something wrong with you and you should reconsider
what you're proposing. Now. Abortion is an issue that's going to be resolved,
I think in June, because it appears to us Supreme Court is going
to allow these abortion pills to fly all over the country in mail delivery services.
That appears likely. I don't know what's going to happen with that.
But if you're a member of an organized political party that controls the White House
and your motto is kill unborn healthy babies in large numbers. Maybe you should
reconsider what you're doing because you will pay for that in this world or the
next. Now, let's continue. You've heard my comments. Coming up next
will be Leland Fitter to a news nation to discuss what's going to happen on
Monday and the Trump trial and what has happened with NPR, a propaganda arm
of the Democrat Party paid for by who the American taxpayer. There are no
pretends they're objective at all. And when you watch most of the media ninety
nine percent of the media on abortion, the encouraged killing of unborn babies is
an article of faith. What an act to base your campaign on. All
Let's continue and Reds baseball kicks off from Chicago. They're on a seven game
road trip. I think the first pitch is Eastern time, seven forty,
So Lance McAllister will be with you starting about six forty tonight and more.
But just think about where we are step back. I want to kill healthy
unborn babies in the womb. That's that's what we're going to use to campaign
on. How sick is that? All? Let's continue, like to have
on sharia pollelo. I think she's the best of what she does. And
I love hearing Tanya O'Rourke also with Eddie and uh with the Rock and more.
But uh, just think about what we're doing, think about this where
we are. Should we change course or just stay where Just stay on the
course we're on. And if Trump is elected, I'm going to make a
talk later on to you about the never trumpers and why please, for the
sake of the nation, for the sake of our survivability, we got to
change course. We can't cannot continue like this because we're heading toward a wall
financially on the southern border. Respect for life. My main campaign slogan is
kill unborn, healthy babies. That's what I want to do. Call me
a Democrat. Twelve fifty six homi year Reds News Radio seven hundred WLW.
My wife and I both we ended up Bill cunning in the Great American Of
course that Leland Vitter is with News Nation, great experiences and all current invents,
etc. We had the situation with NPR developing where a one of the
leaders of NPR National Public Radio, has come out with an editorial speaking about
how biased NPR is, where he's worked for more than twenty five years and
I thought that was shocking. I thought the sun rose in the east and
set in the west. Maybe it doesn't. But joining you and I now
is the great Leland Vitter and Leland. First of all, before we talk
about the presidential debates and talk about the trial on Monday with the Trumpster and
the O. J. Simpson and Memphis cop getting shot, you're in the
news business. News Nation tends to be an independent arbitrator, not left,
not right down the middle. How did those in the newsroom at NewsNation react
when the NPR editor came out and said, our organization is so far left
he can't recognize it anymore. Well, I think very rightly, Bill,
you pointed out that that. I don't think it was that surprising, right,
We've all sort of known NPR was to the left. I think what
was most surprising was that someone inside felt so so compelled to talk about it,
and we quoted a statistic on air that was stunning, which is that
in their DC newsroom it's eighty seven to zero registered Democrats to register Republicans.
And so yeah, and nbrsvis Look, I don't in a weird way,
this shouldn't I don't think surprise anyone. It was Barack Obama back in twenty
seventeen. You said, if you listened to NPR and you watch box news,
you're living on different planets. So that's true, and I think it
speaks to something you and I've talked about for a long time, which is
it's not good for America. But I think is what's most interesting about NPR,
and I think this article really showed it was how it wasn't that they
were biased in that they had an opinion. Fine, lots of people have
opinions. It was how they excluded and ridiculed other opinions. And that's another
step in terms of bias and intellectual arrogance. And so when Berliner came out
and wrote what he wrote, and he's one of the most respected executives at
NPR, the leader of NPR kind of said, uh, it's not that
way at all, and we know it is. And so that'd be as
if you came out and wrote something about Sean Compton, the leader of News
Nation, about how bias the leadership of News Nation is, and then I'm
not sure you'd keep your job, because I don't think that's the case anyway.
But CEO John Lansing has has kind of gone after Berliner and said it's
not true that that our coverage does reflect America when clearly it doesn't. And
of course Berliner talked about he talked about the first year or two of the
Trump administration, how bad that was covered news from a certain perspective. Imagine
if you've done the same thing at News Nation. Well, right, we
can all agree that these are different places. I think what I think what's
interesting is the hubrius perhaps in in the denial right, which is are you
going to believe us are your lying eyes? And what it tells you is
is that they there's no there's no attempt to even to have them have a
sense of fairness or to even give lip service to fairness. I mean,
when you're when you're going to deny that NPR is biased, that then then
you've kind of lost the threat of being a journalist. Right you can at
the very least, Wow, this is really concerning, and I am we're
going to think about this and on and on and on. But when you
just outright deny it, what it tells you is is that they actually they've
drug the kool aid. They believe and we saw this. You're Donald Trump
has an interesting way of bringing out the worst in people, and he's brought
out the worst in the media, which is the media. The media began
to believe that they were players on the field fighting against Donald Trump rather than
the referees on the sidelines calling the game. Yeah, they want to be
in the game. And at this point, and the sad part about this,
we don't fund in a sense Fox News or CNN or News Nation,
but as taxpayers we pay for this. And when the country is probably moderate
to conservative, as taxpayers, I think it's north of one hundred million dollars
we pay for this left wing diatribe every day. We pay for this well.
And I would suggest anybody who was upset with that call their Republican members
of Congress that currently control the House of Representatives, where the purse strings are,
and deal with it the whole. This whole notion of Republicans complaining about
NPR funding when they're the ones who control of pur shrinks in Congress, I
always find a little bit laughable because if you want you're angry about it,
which regionable people can agree that, you know, media does not need to
be funded, then news organizations don't need to be funded by the government,
but then do something about it or stop talking about it. Yeah. Oh,
even when the Republicans have been in charge, they've tried to get rid
of it, and it doesn't work because of the sixty vote minimum and the
Senate to move anything. And they the Democrats love having a taxpayer funded news
organization that that is not mainly liberal eighty seven to zip they're liberal. Now.
Second issue, I've been in lengthy trials and they go on and on
for weeks, and they're they're they're they're testing. Uh, they're difficult,
they're emotionally wretching. I've not been a criminal defendant. I've tried many cases
that I've taken weeks. And you get up earlier two or three hours before
trial. In the morning, get up at six, you prepare for the
day, you go through the witnesses. In the evening, you get together
with your client for two or three more hours. It's six am to nine
pm every day. I have a concern that when this trial, I managine
is going to start on Monday with the Trumpster in New York City, the
president of the United States forty five is going to be sitting there for weeks
upon weeks at the age of seventy seven or seventy eight years old. And
this is a twelve to fifteen hour day after day after day after day in
a seedy New York City courtroom, in which all the evidence is going to
be about sex with a porn star and the money that was paid and why
was it paid. Michael Cohene's going to be there, There'll be other women
put forward about the money Donald trumps day after day after day. And I
guess I'm one of the few that says this is going to be a problem,
because it's a problem for anyone to sit in trial for what's five to
eight weeks when your life the probability of conviction in New York City, think
think is great is like trying a case as a Republican in front of a
Washington DC jury. And so this isn't something well covered but the but the
issue of a former president taking him off the campaign trail for the next month
and a half to two months, as have you considered a news nation,
Uh, the effects on a person's ability to continue to campaign when you're in
trial essentially for the rest of your life. You could be sent to prison.
Now we can put off to the side of the ridiculousness of these charges
resulting in a felony, that's a different matter. But the physicality of sitting
there and what this does to the to the nation as a whole when the
leading candidate for president is incapable of campaigning. Yeah, I think we're gonna
I think we're going to have a I have to have a reckoning about this
coming up here pretty soon in terms of you're going to see Donald Trump off
the campaign trail. He obviously can be out on on the weekend, but
there's going to be the fundamental issue affairs. I think people are gonna people
are gonna have to wrestle with that and talk about it in the in the
next in the next few weeks. Uh. You know, you've been through
a lot of trials. We've talked to a jury consultant who has did both
the oj trials and the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. I'm talking about how unusual the
jury selection process is going to be for the next couple of weeks. You
make you know, they have to handle a jury and unlike normally when juries
are handed you know, a questionnaire and then they handed back filled out.
They're going to go through the jury questionnaire with every juror in open court.
And you can just imagine how what what it's going to be like sitting there
through that for for hours upon hours, days upon days, and potentially weeks
upon weeks. You're a young man, I'm not as young. I have
a little more age on me than you do, a lot more. But
nonetheless it is difficult, and the jury selection process by itself could take several
weeks. I think they've called her five six hundred, and I don't know
any normal If I don't know any normal person that would say, you know
what, I want to put myself through this for the next one to three
months, and I want to sit there in a courtroom, get paid sixteen
dollars a day, and I'm gonna sit there and put myself through this.
You must think I'm crazy just to pick a jury. It's gonna take it's
gonna take weeks to pick a jury. Well, it's to be a pick
a jury. And I guess that the next question would be who you really
don't want anybody? If I was either side, I would not want someone
who wants to be on the jury. Right if you want to be on
this jury. Yeah, there's only one reason, which is you know,
for your own either for your own political gain, you know, in terms
of how you've used the case, or for your own publicity gain when when
it's over right and you want to write a book like like OJ jurors,
we talked about the OJ thing and his dad. I was there at three
ten Rockingham when which is where OJ lived in his compound, and after the
verdict was announced, and I was there for that too, and Steve Garvey
showing up with donuts and it was ready for a riot. The lapd it
was ready for a riot. They had all the all the horses out of
the armaments and the verdict was not guilty. I watched two or three jurors
that night walk into OJ Simpson's house for a party. And those jurors wanted
to be part of the action. They wanted to be next to this case.
And why somebody would want somebody to say, I want to spend the
next several weeks or months of my life sitting in a dirty New York City
courtroom where my safety is at risk, just to go into New York City
and come back out. And then I get to write a book later on
which a juror can has the ability to write a book and make money out
of it. This Leland Vendert of News Nation, this is not the way
you're supposed to have trials in this country. Would you agree? I would
say it is that it is an unusual and un us at the end of
time. And I've said it the past couple of days. Whenever I said,
well, Donald Trump's trial starts Monday, you just sort of think about
how nonchalantly we now say that in what an enormous deal it actually is.
They're shutting down parts of Manhattan. The President Trump's going to arrive every day
with his entourage and Secret Service protection. This case is going to draw on
and on. He's going to file various interlocratory motions to stop the proceedings this
thing. And in the meantime, damn it. We got serious problems in
this country that we need to have a honest debate about what direction we're going
to go, and we're not going to have it with this whatsoever. Which
brings up my third question is about this weekend, the movie Civil War is
out, in which lawmakers or the filmmakers in Hollywood has got together saying that
there's a civil war coming, not unlike eighteen sixty one when the Confederates fired
on Fort Sumter, that we're going to have a civil war in which the
mega crowd is going to attack and be attacked. And this is going to
be playing at a time when Trump, who has a gag order against him,
which he's going to violate on a regular basis, and maybe he should
because the First Amendment, the other issues. Judge Mrshon did contribute financially to
Joe Biden and Judge Mrshon's daughter. When Trump went after Mershon's daughter the trial,
judge I thought she maybe was a fourteen year old girl with braces.
Turns out to be she's a Democratic activist that have raised tens of millions of
dollars for the Democrat Party. This is going to be ginned up. In
the movie, Civil War talks about what happens when the political process fails,
and is this a documentary or is this a fiction? And I think it's
a fiction. I do not believe we're going to have a civil war,
a shooting civil war between the Republicans and Democrats. But the timing of this
movie is suspicious to me because of the trial. Your comments, Yeah,
nearly beas covered Alex Garland, Civil War is an explosive warning against a Trump
takeover. So Garland is a very level writer, director, novelist, screenwriter,
whatever. In this movie, Texas and California team up to succeed and
succeed in the new Civil War. Look, it's very clear what they're trying
to what they're trying to do. And I think what's interesting is if we
look at this not necessarily as a left first right or a Donald Trump or
anybody else, but it's sort of a traditional versus progressive elite worldview. Traditionalists
respect to other worldviews and other views. They may not agree with them,
but by definition, progressive values require changing other people's values. And I think
that's what we're starting to see in the extension of if you don't have our
values, then you are someone who not that we disagree with, but somebody
that we need to change or we need to cancel or we need to fight
against. Is not a traditional value, it's a progressive value. So there's
an irony, and that it is the left both both creating creating the problem
and then complaining that it exists. Do you have a sense this is even
remotely possible that Texans and Floridians would attack New Yorkers and and those who live
in Connecticut and messages Texas and California. It's a it's a it's a it's
a say it's a fictional movie. But I think, Bill, I think
there's a in The political ramifications of it are obvious, and and we understand
why. But the the divide in America now culturally, in the value based
divide in America, it is gotten deeper. Uh, and it has happened
far more rapidly than than you can imagine. Now. Is there is there
an issue like slavery that that divided the country in eighteenth you know, in
the lead up the American Civil War? No, but there's but there is.
There's big socioeconomic divides, there's big value divides. There is not one,
There is not one issue, but but there is in history doesn't repeat
itself at rhymes, so it it does have a I think there's I think
there's a point that we are in we are in dangerous times. And and
I'll put it on I will. I think we can you and I can
agree. I mean you're you're a commentator, I'm a journalist. But fair,
fair minded people can agree that neither side, and especially the leader of
either side being Trump and Biden, neither of them are doing anything to try
and help the situation. They're trying to exploit nothing. And if you think
about who's been remembered over time as great presidents in American history, both Republicans
and Democrats, it's just, you know, just even in modern times,
Reagan, Clinton, and these are people who their base liked them or loved
them, and then they spent their time reaching across the aisle. They didn't
demonize the other side, right, and that is a very different world than
we live in right now. I can recall Reagan and Tip O'Neil fought like
warriors during the day, then shared a glass of bourbon at night. And
that's the tradition of American politics that does not exist today. Each of the
leading candidates call the other party beneath contempt. I have all the comments of
Joe Biden describing what mega Republicans are, and of course Donald Trump goes after
the Democrats with hooks and claws, all right. Nonetheless, Leland Vender great
comments and we'll see what happens on Monday. And once again, thank you
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, Leland Vitder of News Nation every night
Monday through Friday. Thank you, Leland, Thank you, God bless you.
All Right, let's continue with more Bill cunning in the Great American Live
at your home of the Reds News Radio seven hundred WULW. The Boss took
off, so I thought I'd come home early and surprise my wife. But
I'm the one who got the surprise. There was my wife and her best
friend in the back bedroom. I didn't say a word. I just watched.
Listening to seven hundred wlw's live stream on the iHeartRadio app may be shocking
for some people, but it's the perfect way to listen to the Big One
wherever you are. I'm gonna start coming home early more often. Listen to
seven hundred WLW anywhere anytime on the iHeartRadio app this spring, check your carpets
off your spring cleaning list. This guy does not have to answer a question,
and he's in the middle of what could be one of the biggest scandals
in baseball history, and he does not answer a question. Is there anything
that you can compare to this. Nothing. There's nothing I've never heard of
a star, a superstar just completely be allowed to ignore the media and in
effect ignore the fans too. It's amazing to me. And you know who
started the Angels. The Angels let him get away with it, and the
Dodgers, well, this is what it's been. They let him get away
with it. He he He had a press conference, read from a statement
and did not take the question that everyone wants to know, did you gamble
on baseball? When she said in the press conference that he did, and
then explain to me how somebody could take four and a half million dollars out
of your account. You didn't see it, Your representatives didn't notice. How
did that happen? Doesn't enough to answer that question. Hello, quiet,
I'm skulls, I'm broadcasting. God ah, it's like, let's get into
the Tony Pike matter at u see? But before that, that was Michael
Kay, Yes, the Yankees about Otani blitzing baseball, about Otani. It
wasn't for what's his crime? Thank you. It wasn't for what's his crime?
It was sixteen right, But Otani's interpreter, Willie made nineteen thousand bets.
What the average bet was twelve thousand, eight hundred dollars. Wait a
minute, how many bets over the I guess over time nineteen thousand. He
must have been betting on every game. Had to be everyone's every night total
losing bets one hundred and eighty two point nine million dollars. I'm gonna write
this down. Winning bets one hundred and forty two million. And they found
no evidence that that he was betting on baseball. They didn't want to find
evidence of that. Right, there's something messed up here because this guy is
a superstar. They're not gonna they don't want to probably go down to Pete
Rose's way again. Michael Kay is exactly correct. Correct, He's got to
sit there and say he's got to answer questions about this. I mean,
why why are they sheltering him? How many nineteen thousand bets? Nineteen thousand
bets over the years. I mean, you better call eight hundred gambler with
this guy. How about Bart Giamati get a hold of him. Thank you?
Where's Rob Manfred? No? He wants to he wants to mess baseball
up with another pitching clock. Well, you know what it comes down to
the green salad of salvation. Because the Dodgers in baseball are making all this
money and they don't want they don't want this guy out because that means that's
it and who opens the season next year? I believe in Tokyo, Japan,
gotta be a Tani bing god the Dodgers well say. There was a
statement released by the FBI in relationship to this also that seemed to indicate that
the interpreter would call the banker and say, pretend as if he's Otani,
right, and telling the banker, give my interpreter, what's his name,
Ioki? Whatever? Yeah, whatever, yeah, whatever, Well he's coming
up, pick up some cash, give him whatever he wants in cash.
And isn't your responsibility to make sure that someone isn't I would think it one
time time. I would think it's Yeah, I would think it's the banker.
I think of the banker like, hey, this is kind of weird.
I'm gonna I'm gonna call the I'm gonna call either Otani himself, the
Dodge or their representatives or something and say, hey, yeah, this guy,
are you taking out? Oh no, no, no, well yeah,
bags of cash? Thank you? Okay, and the book. He
wasn't accepting a check, it was cash. He got more money than Andy
Defrayne did. And Sean Shank retemption. Well, somehow they're going to close
the door and this is that it's all yeah, Well they're gonna sweep it
under the rug because he's the superstar. You know, Pete Rose had to
take questions every time. He was all the time. Right now you can't
ask him a question. Doesn't understand it. The English thank you The banishment
for life of Pete Rose from Baseball is the is the sad end of a
sorry episode. Well it's Baseball going to do it a second time. No

the mayor put out a video calling those guys toie Brony's. That's it.
I can't take it anymore. Say thank you for your analysis, sir.
Let's continue with more. I love Tony Pike on news Radio seven hundred w
old. Genesis Diamonds most anticipated sale of the year is happening April nineteenth through
twelve. Now, let's continue. We never sawt We simply continue. On
Monday. One of the most dramatic trials after OJ Simpson's trial is going to
take place starting then in New York municipal courts. Large courtroom has been set
aside. There's hundreds of acres of media available and it's gonna be uh we
understand that's some of the trials going to be broadcast live, other parts not.
And this began in twenty seventeen when Alvin Bragg and Fanny Willis where Wine
dined and pocket lined in Washington under the fear that Donald Trump would while he's
the sitting president, they wanted to take him out by twenty twenty because by
any means necessary, they wanted the Trump presidency to end in twenty twenty by
all means necessary or unnecessary. There were various elements of the conspiracy, one
of which was to cause him to be indicted in state court, where as
president, he cannot forgive himself. He cannot issue clemency or a pardon whatsoever
in state court proceedings, only in federal So Joe Biden and the Democratic Party
said, let's get him indicted in places where he'll be convicted, such as
New York City. And Fanny Willis raised her hand and said, I can
do it in Atlanta, because we'll come up with a theory of one type
or another in Atlanta with a telephone call that we can we can get it
done. Back and forth, they went between New York and Atlanta, Atlanta
and Washington, d c. Back to New York, et cetera. This
began, believe it or not, in twenty six when Donald Trump allegedly quote
had an affair with a porn star named named Stormy Daniels. Trump's indictment stems
from a one hundred and thirty thousand dollars payment, which was completely legal for
a non disclosure agreement, which happens regularly, and Trump's ex attorney, Michael
Cohne, gave the money to Daniels in October of twenty sixteen to cover up
her allegations of having an affair with Donald Trump in twenty six so just before
the election in twenty sixteen, of course, nobody ever heard of such things
as Donald Trump philandering or Donald Trump having sex with other women. That was
a brand new allegation, correct, I don't think so. Trump then reimbursed
Michael Cohen, the fixer, his attorney, four hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
and according to Cohen's testimony, that money came as repayment for Daniel's payment
itself. That Cohen initially made a separate expense, a sixty thousand dollars bonus
to cover taxes on the payment, which were made through the Trump organization,
which many came out of Trump's personal account and lugedly falsely labored as for legal
services through a retainer agreement. The one hundred and thirty thousand Trump to Cohen
was paid to silence Daniels on the eve of the twenty sixteen election. Hush
money agreements of this character, may I say or com and perfectly legal,
nothing illegal about them at all. It happens. Shall we say all the
time, how many times has a person signed some separation agreement or an NDA,
And of course the person on the other side says, this is not
payment for anything, and a simply payment to separate the agreement. Hush money
payments can be illegal if done to cover up a crime. Okay, that's
the theory in this case that the crime being committed happened in twenty seventeen,
because that's when the money payments reflected on business records in New York State.
Well, Alvin Bragg is contending that it affected the twenty sixteen election. But
the quote crime was committed till twenty seventeen when there was information imparted on forums
in New York State. That would elevate it to a felony if it's done
to facilitate some other crime. So if the purpose in October of twenty sixteen
was not to keep it quiet from the electorate or keep Malania in the dark,
but if it was done to facilitate the commission of a crime, then
it could be elevated to a felony. Practically, every person that's looked at
this from the New York Post and New York Times, the Washington, Washington
Post, and many others have said that this is something unique, This is
something truly unbelievable that's happening because it's never been prosecuted before in any which way.
It became felonies because the crime allegedly the money was paid to obscure was
the fact that if a campaign donation is made, it must be reported on
federal campaign election forms in Washington, DC. And Donald Trump in twenty seventeen
when he reported these expenses on New York forms, according to Alvin Bragg,
the purpose was to violate federal election law the next year, which of course
would have been in puffs impossible. Prescios are alleging that thirty four counts against
Trump are felonies. He argues that the falsely labeled payments were done to cover
up other crimes, which is a campaign finance violation, as the payments to
Cohen were falsely characterized as income rather than repayments, so Cohen put on his
federal forms that was a legal fee, when really it was a reimbursement to
Cone of the money one hundred and thirty thousand he gave to Stormy Daniels unbelievable.
So that's what is going to be tried in a New York state courtrooms
starting on Monday, which will take months for that to take place, months
for that to occur. The thirty four counts of quote falsifying business records in
New York occurred in twenty seventeen. That's when the forms were created in twenty
seventeen, well after the presidential election of twenty sixteen, when Trump President Trump
was already in office. So how did President Trump attempt to hide damaging information
from the voting public in twenty sixteen through the use of these forums when the
forms were not put together and created until the first quarter of twenty seventeen,
One might ask that question. Well, Alvin Bragg has a long history in
New York City of taking violent felonies like punching women in the face as they
fall down the steps of churches, or punching women on Fifth Avenue, or
committing rapes and robberies, or beating up cops, all of which are felonies.
He has a long history of treating these violent felonies as misdemeanors. In
fact, Brag has downgraded at least two thirds of violent felony cases last year,
charging thousands of felonies but reducing them to misdemeanors, which helps harden criminals
avoiding serious punishment for serious crime. Just the opposite with the Donald Instead of
taking a paperwork possible mistake, he takes it from a misdemeanor to a felony,
when his practice is to do the opposite one. It's violent felonies.
You've heard about the wave of women randomly punched in the face, a couple
of whom are still in critical condition, and he's freeing the perpetrators of those
acts and reducing them to misdemeanors, charge no felonies. He's doing the opposite
with Donald Trump. An insane case in Manhattan, so we're gonna watch it.
But keep in mind that Trump's hush money payment isn't illegal in itself.
It only becomes illegal if it's done to obscure some other offense, which was
not reporting federal campaign contributions on federal forms. That's the offense, and that
elevates it from a misdemeanor to a felony. In the minds of Alvin Bragg,
who frees violent felons on a regular basis, and you might please remember
it happens all the time that paying Stormy Daniels to keep quiet. That isn't
actually what's under scrutiny because that is not a crime. So that's a theory.
It's one that is rejected by legal scholars and experts all over the place
because it didn't influence the election in twenty sixteen, because the forms were not
created until the first quarter of twenty seventeen, for example. And also there's
another woman involved with Karen McDougall, who was paid one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars a catch and kill, which is catching her story then killing it.
That David Pecker. There's a good name, Pecker. David Pecker, who
ran the National Inquiry, would pay individuals monies for their stories about rich and
famous people. But Trump was not reimbursed for any of those payments at all.
It is unbelievable when the opposition party does not want to run against Donald
Trump, so what they do is concoct criminal prosecutions well covered by the liberal
media as serious matters, whether it's Fanny Willis or Alan Bragg or the Washington,
D c. Department of Justice ran a course by Joe Biden to concoct
schemes all over the country to make it look as if Donald Trump has committed
serious felonies in office and shortly thereafter, when the Republicans would never do that
to Democrats who have committed similar acts or misdeeds. There was not even a
peep out of the mainstream media when Bill Clinton left office having paid off girlfriends
at sex in the Oval office, had paid off numerous women, Or when
Hillary Clinton left office as Secretary of State and committed violations of numerous obstruction of
justice acts by having a home brewed server in her Chappaquaw home that was illegal,
that was bleach bid and hammered into submission by her assistance. Well,
that was under a subpoena by a Congressional committee. When Democrats commit these acts,
which I would contend to you, are much worse, the media would
never say it's time to go after the Clintons for what they did to violate
the law, or Joe Biden himself. Joe Biden's own Department of Justice ruled
that Joe Biden is mentally incompetent to stand trial on felonies, but he is
mentally competent enough to be the president. Are you kidding me? That's where
we are. It is truly, it's unbelievable. I want to talk with
you Monday or Tuesday about never trumpers and talk about why you can't hold your
nose and vote for Donald Trump as if we can keep this kind of crap
moving on and moving on and moving on and it'll have no material impact on
all the American people. We can't keep borrowing a trillion dollars every one hundred
days. We can't keep a southern border wide open that's killing one hundred thousand
Americans with fentanyl. We can't keep open a government that allows thousands and thousands
of Chinese government marijuana grove fields and websites to illegally sell marijuana in this country
to benefit the Chinese Communist Party, as they can coct labs with every known
bachulism known demand that they want to release at some point upon us. We
can't continue. I'm going to know illusion it's going to be very difficult for
Donald Trump to win in November. I'm going to vote for him once and
twice and three times. I'll vote. I'll be like a Democrat. I'll
vote for him a lot if I could, but I can only legally vote
once in a while. That's what I'm going to do. But to continue
on this path would be a disaster for this nation. And I have no
doubts that when Trump wins in November, he will be stopped at every turn
by the liberal media, by state prosecutors, by numerous lawsuits, and ultimately
by impeachment proceedings again in the House and the Senate to go after him every
which way they can. At a minimum, he will stop the horrible policies
of these liberal democrats in charge of our cities and public education, in charge
of the southern border, in charge of crime, and American foreign policy,
which is a disaster. At a minimum that will stop the problem is if
you, as a never Trump will say, no matter how bad things are,
I'm going to still voting the same way anticipating a different result. That
is the definition of insanity. Let's continue with more coming up later will be
the student's report and also the news if a line becomes available. You know
the routine. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven

has just been brilliant for me. Of course, there will be a pecuity
game all around, with Maloney striking out eighteen pitching ten innings of no hit
baseball. If the Red should lose this games should lose it, it would
be the toughest bar game lost, I would think that I have ever seen
by a pitcher many no hit games lost. Is certainly the tough with like
even Ken Johnson walks one of the Reds and must shut him out and won
of nothing down there in Newston last year. But this being a ten inning
job of no hit pitching by Maloney with the Mets scoring in the eleventh and
an eighteen strikeout from the game. Boy, that's something he walked. He
strikes time. Here we go again, and the pitcher's made. There's a
ball hit down on the truck stop. McMillan plays at the first. The
game is over and Maloney has lost one of the couple of games never to
be lost by a pitcher. Oh hello, quiet, and I'm scos.

You're ignoring him? Well? His uh, the FBI came out with
a statement, Yeah, he needs to answer some questions. What he did?
Fake time questions? Thank you? Yeah? How'd you know it?
How's your banker know it? You know, when did you discover it?
That guy, his his interpreter walked out with more money and than Andy Defrain
did in Shawshank Redemption. Give me the facts, Give the American people the
facts. Otani's interpreter made nineteen thousand bets over the years. The average bet
was twelve eight hundred dollars over a three. I don't think I don't think
he was looking for a parlay or a boost total losing bets one hundred and
eighty two mil one hundred eighty two million, and losses winning bets one hundred
and forty two, So he lost forty mili, not sixty. Well,
I explained this to me to kind of riddle this Batman. Yeah, allegedly
he stole sixteen million. Is that correct? That's what the feds say?
Yes, my simple deer park Matt says, if you bet one eighty two
and you win one forty two mil, that means you've lost forty million dollars?
Is that correct? Bingo? Where did the money come from to pay
off the forty mil? If you only took sixteen that tells me twenty four
mil is out there somewhere. May I have the answer to that question?
Riddle me that Batman don't know. The Feds say that he no evidence that
the interpreter bet on baseball. Find that hard to believe. But he stole
more than sixteen million from mister Otani. Well, he was down forty mil.
Where'd that money come from? I don't know? That's fine. Probably
what they're stretched. Probably what they're trying to figure out. I need facts.
I didn't deal with them. They got to get deal with facts.
Oh, they got to get the money. Trailer is out there somewhere,
they'll find it. And over three or four years, when you're not making
huge amounts of money at that point, right, do you miss forty mil?
I would say so. Yeah. According to this account of the FBI,
then will missa hera a coupan Otani to a bank in Arizona in twenty
eighteen and helped him set up an account. We else baseball salary was deposited.
Yea. Investcos believe that Otani's earnings from endorsements and investments went to a
different account. WHOA WHOA write that down right there? Well, yeah,
that way, that's what he was living on. I mean he's you know
what New Balance and all these other endorsements. That's what those guys live on,
right, Yeah, they don't live on a regular salary, these big
time stars, right. The complaint says the interpreter's phone contained thousands of pages
of text messages with the number associated with a bookmaker known as Bookmaker Ion.
The messages appeared to include negotiations as Mosuhara tried to pay off his gambling debts.
Investigos also side a spreadsheet provided by a source bookmaker one's organization that showed
roughly nineteen thousand wagers in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, So this
is over a twenty four month period, he made nineteen thousand wagers, nearly
twenty five bets a day. The wagers range from ten dollars to one hundred
and sixty thousand per bet, averaging about twelve thousand, eight hundred dollars.
As you said, and that loss of forty one million winning you bet?
What game do you bet on? Put one hundred and sixty thousand dollars on?
Let's be a super Bowl, a big game? May I continue?
Go ahead. Winnings were not paid to a tany's bank accounts, even though
those accounts are used to help payoff debts. Investigo to say records do not
show any bets from Muzahara's account on baseball games. Yeah right, we'll see.
But he has he has to sit in front of the media, and
I don't care what it is, and whatever language he wants, he's gotta
he's got to face the music and talking pig Latin. Right. At some
point, you gotta saying I can't use my letter sit down in front of
the cameras, right, I want to playing what happened Pete Rose did every
day and every night right. Never, he was asked constantly right, no
matter where he was, he said, technically I did steal from show.
He it's over for me, and I'm sorry, yeah, no truth.
But he also mean you had life by the you know whats right? I
mean, you're you're you're living in a big probably with him in a big
house, ull time million. You're you're you're going with the Dodgers, you
know. I mean they're not dined in pocket, they're not flying on a
on a prop plane, and they're not staying a motel set, they're not
staying at the holiday inn. I mean, come on, you're bust to
it from the stadium. You're flown there for you know this, that and
everywhere. Isn't the responsibility of a rich ballplayer to keep track of his money
to make sure it's no. He's got people for that. He's got Musahari,
but he's got people for that. And this guy thought, well,
okay, nobody will find out. I'm betting nine nineteen thousand bets more than
two the guys bet morning's breathing. I don't get it, and Baseball wants
to wash its hands like, oh, of course it's pilot right because Tani's
the superstar and they can't have that right. How about this? A reigning
attack is imminent respected in Israel, plus the US itself may be involved,
and Iran's Iran has issued a deadly message to journalists this afternoon where they get
they're getting back for the IDF killing those generals, right, that's it.
They got a case of the goo goole. Oh boy, so and Iran's
telling the journalists we know where you live, we know who you are.
So I don't know what today you say, but I'm going to stay to
shock and disbelieve me too. I don't know what to say. And if
and if if Kelsey comes in here to be on the show next week with
Tony Pike, Tony Pike should say you're not welcome, get out. See
you wouldn't want to be you. You couldn't use and abuse me when I
want it right to help you promote your event. Right now you say I'm
sorry you're the center. Well wait a minute, he's going to be there
at a future date. You know what I say? Like what for Christmas
Day? Forget it. Jason Kelsey is not welcomed here, go home,
go to Philadelpha for wherever the hell you are, stay away. I don't
get it. I don't get him either. Just disrespect Tony Pike like that
the pride of Ready at the Home of the Blue Devils. How to be
a statue there? It should be. I hope he does as much for
reading as I do for Deer Park? Is that possible? When's the next
big Deer Park events? Come? And? Believe me, Jim Stall does
a lot of the work. Of course I am seeing all, but well,
who I mean, what superstar might be coming in? I can't say,
but I know it's going to be someone as big as Tony Perez or
Mike Ruzione or Roger Staubach. Otani's interpreter is gonna come and can't say,
oh, okay, no, he will not be invited. Otani himself,
I have my doubts about him, but Major League Baseball kisses the dirt he
walks on, so I tend to think nothing will happen because he's an icon,
like Jason Kelsey is an icon. You can't criticize an icon, except
when you cross one of our own. Tony Pike. Then you got to
deal with you and me segment. Yeah, and the backlash from the fans.
Maybe we're more important than we don't think it is that it in sports
yep, get me out of the Stude's report. O. J. Simpson
allegedly confessed on his deathbed to his children that he beat the crap out of
their mother or the butch of her. What. I got a photo sent
to me by kid Chris, so we'll see about that. I'm not sure
that's the case. How do you feel sorry about your dad's death? If
your father committed terrible acts of domestic violence against your mom and concluded it by
decapitating her, not good. You can't be judgmental anymore to anybody, that's
for sure. Segu's out it in sports, Yeah, get me out of
the studio, Willy. Everybody, have a good weekend and we'll see you
here Monday. We leave you with the immortal words of the stood back the
other way to the Singer line. Roy captures the flock he's sending across for
plumbing the airports, John Stewart bothering him wrong. Two backs, Dross fights
for free air. Roy now Laura's pass to retreat. Is playing ahead for
Greg Carroll. They're trying to get something going. Blumb up the sending off
Carol, Carol into his Carrol passing in flo guards. He gang from Greg
Carroll with someum helping out his bitter right LaRoe not getting off wings Carol,
he going to pass. Finally gave it in front of the singers and side
of the game at three three, Andy Man, you were there in seventy
seven, men a Andy Mack nineteen seventy seven with the Stingers. How about
that death to America, death to Israel. That's the message of many on
college campuses. Oh boy, they want to kill Americans and kill Jews.
But there's nothing antisemitic about that. You understand that, right, nothing ani
semitic. But on college campuses, I want to kill Americans and kill Jews.
Well, why don't you learn and pay your student debt, to pay
your student loans instead of of the government, you know, giving you a
free pass. Fine's trying to bribe students to vote for him. Yeah,
that'll never fly because he's not following the dictates of the United States Supreme Court
that set it's up to the Congress to spend money not up to you.
Yeah, that's a small item, but it's an important one kind of a
segment. Thank you. We'll see what happens. Especially, I want to
thank you as an American for listening to me all week and ever increasing numbers.
Segment Men, you and yours every wonderful weekend to well. I forgive
Jason Kelsey only if he crawls on his belly in the studio and begs forgiveness
for disrespecting Tony Pike. I will then forgive Jason Kelsey. If Christ can
forgive those who crucify him, I can forgive Jason kelcey, but he must
crawl into the studio and beg my forgiveness. Yeah, I may give it
to him. I may not. Yeah. Ever, a great Weekend's News
