Good things. The feedback I'll often here is that people enjoy the podcast because
they find it encouraging and inspiring. Listen to the Joelo Seen podcast from the
iHeartRadio app or wherever you listen to podcasts. Bill Cutting in the Great American
Welcome this War. It's tooth afternoon. The tries they had a small compears
to be everywhere because of the Canadian wildfires and so much stuff's going on.
I can't stand it anymore. The PGA tour is combined with the Live Tour,
and some one of those events that I can't believe is true. Tony
Benner told me this morning. I said, I can't happen, and I
don't know how it happened, but the dp Tour, along with the Live
along with the PGA have now merged come up with a brand new name.
I'm going to say to shock and disbelief. But on a more local basis,
of course, the Inquirers declared that the Western Southern Open is dead,
gone and buried. It's the epitaph is being written as I speak by Jason
Williams. And yesterday the City of Mason, led by Don Prince and Lynda
Coffee prince had put up fifteen million dollars. Is that chaws urinating in the
wind? A man with all the answers is David Young, the commission the
commissioner of the Monkey Bartoneer, the Commissioner of Warren County is with us and
Dave Young welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Fast moving developments. This
deal supposedly be done within the next two months, one way or another.
As we sit here this glorious Tuesday afternoon, what is the status of the
tennis tournament in Mason? And more importantly, is the inquir wrong. My
buddy Jason Williams had me on his table day Airways on Saturday night at nine
o'clock talking about this very subject. Jason went to the Mason City Council meeting
yesterday, and I think the reports of the death of the tournament in Warren
County are premature. As Mark Twain once said, look, this is a
very serious, very competitive situation. It is not a layup, as you
and I have talked about from the beginning. This is free market capitalism at
its best or at its worst, depending on your perspective. Will you know
life is made up of events and some events are very mundane. Most events
are very mundane. Some are transformative, and for instance, my daughter is
getting married in nash Vegas on Saturday. That's going to be a transformative event,
not a mundane event. Unfortunately, the Western Southern Tennis Tournament that has
occurred in Greater Cincinnati for some one hundred and twenty four years is going through
a transformative, transformative event as we speak. There is new ownership group.
And the first thing I want to say, I've seen some people getting upset
with Western and Southern Why did they sell the tournament? That is not what
happened here. The US Tennis Association actually owned what they called the sanction for
this tournament. And what happened is the USTA did some renovations at the National
US Tennis Center in New York where they played the US Open to the tune
of six hundred six hundred million dollars Willie And unfortunately, right after they spent
six hundred million dollars renovating that grand facility, what happened COVID happened the banks
and the learners that actually gave them the money didn't really care. They were
demanding payment, So there were some financial issues that were going on with the
US Tennis Association, so they decided that they were going to maybe sell a
couple of their assets. They sold the asset in Madrid, generated hundreds of
millions of dollars to go against that, and then they also decided, we're
going to put the Western Southern Open in Mason, Ohio up for sale.
That is what happened. This had nothing to do with Western and Southern selling
the tournament. Oh, we're selling the tournament. Nothing like that. Is
the US Tennis Association needing capital to pay off their debts of a six hundred
million dollar improvement to Flushing in New York, and all of a sudden,
this is happening, so to put with US in Layman's terms, because of
the pandemic, there was a little bit of a money problem with the US,
and they said, well, let's sell some of these Antslary events raised
that jack to cover the six hundred million, and just by happenstance, the
tournament in Mason was one of the two events they could sell. I know,
John Barrett, Western Southern and the Lender family made a very generous offer
to keep it here. But this one character, I said, I'm going
to come in with even more money because I love tennis and this b mark
capital. Ben Navarro said, I'll put up more money than anyone because I
want this damn thing to be in the Carolinas. And that's what happened.
Correct, This sending voice, the sending voice in the backroom, one hundred
percent. The yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, it is a free
market capital deal. Where he came in, he offered the money. He's
a tennis guy, he's got a tennis family, he's got a daughter that
actually is a professional player and actually made some noise at the French Open last
week. So he's committed to the sport. But what he's not committed to
is Greater Cincinnati because he doesn't have any relationships here. So what the entire
region has been trying to do is show him just how important the Greater Cincinnati
region is, how committed we are to the tournament. And it's not just
about money, it's about the brand. It's about Mason pointing out the great
point yesterday that there's some five hundred volunteers that go and participate at this event.
There is a brand here, there's a loyal to hear people open up
their homes and let the players stay at them. I mean, it's just
been a long standing this is the way we do it. And from the
reports I've seen, the players actually really really enjoy coming here and playing.
So those are all the things that we're trying to impress on them. But
ultimately, at the end of the day, it's about money too. I
can imagine if John Barrett and if this tournament for one hundred and twenty four
years was in the Carolinas and John Barrett and Carl Lindner went to buy the
tournament into Carolinas, would they keep the tournament in the Carolinas or would they
bring it here? I would think the shoes on the other foot with Ben
Navarro, I would assume he puts up one hundred million, hundreds of millions
of dollars to make the deal happen there instead of here. Am I reading
that correctly? Possibly, But again it's not like he's putting this in his
backyard. Charlotte is not Charleston, South Carolina. He's still going to have
to get on his plane and travel forty five minutes an hour to go to
the tournament, just like he would to come here. So it's not literally,
I'm getting in my car and driving a half an hour to go over
and see my tennis tournament. It's greater than that. It's just I think
a lot of it. He has business connections apparently in the Charlotte area.
You know, he almost bought the Charlotte the Carolina Panthers. He put in
a bid for them, so he's got connections there. But we just want
to instill on him we want this tournament, we want to keep this tournament.
We want you to have the business connections here in our town. And
literally, people from the Cincinnati Business Committee, which is a big time group
that are all the big boy real business leaders of this community. They're uniformly
supportive of this effort. This is not just the city of Mason, not
just a Warren County. It's a greater Cincinnati regional effort with the state coming
in over the top and saying we want to partner with you. So this
is literally an all hands on deck situation. And you know, I spoke
to bell Sites this morning. He's a majority leader of the Ohio House,
and he largely said, we got a five billion dollars third plus in the
state of Ohio. Our check book is open. So you got the state
of Ohio a Republican saying we want it. We got you you you run
Warren County with an iron grip. You say we want it. Got the
city of Mason run by Don Prince, they say they want it. You
got Fifth Third Bank, You got Sin Toss right next door there. You
got the big boys, Proctor and Gamble. All those are saying we wanted
Harry got Carl Lender, you got you got John Barrett. But it's going
to come down to one person, Ben Navarro, who's a multi multi billionaire
worth allegedly seven billion dollars, wanting to blow one or two hundred million million
dollars extra to move it to the Carolinas. And the weather there is terrible
according to the mayor of Mason in August. And the weather isn't so good
here belize is better than in Carolina. And so if you were a betting
man, do you have a couple of aces up your sleeve, David Young,
give an aces spade to pull out of your cuffs? Welly, that's
a great question. And the one thing I do know is I don't negotiate
in public. Are these are very sensitive dealings this is major league stuff,
and I'll put it to you this way. My good friend, who happens
to be of maybe a different political persuasion of me a little bit, but
was the guy who actually brought something to town recently called FC Cincinnati. Jeff
Birding texted me and said, let's get together. So we meet at Embur's
next to your double wide area there in the Madeira Indian Hill area. We
went had to pop a couple of weeks ago, and Jeff really motivated me
to try to think outside the box, to think bigger, because it's one
thing, Willie, that you know, if I'm in again their shoes and
you come in and say, hey, this is what we think is a
fair deal. We're going to write seventy percent of this deal. You come
up with thirty percent of this deal, or sixty six and thirty three.
You know, we're going to cover two thirds. You city, county,
state come up with a third of the money. That's a very reasonable proposition
in today's professational sports world in my humble opinion. But Jeff reminded me,
let's not think like that. Think about the big picture, think about the
economic impact, think about the things that we have done that. People really
didn't think we were going to be able to do on a short term.
So we're trying to think outside the box, really, and we do have
some aces up our sleeve, and those things are all being vetted now and
hopefully some of those things are going to turn because again, we built an
off ramp in Warren County based on a cocktail mapkin at about a third of
the cost and about half the time that you normally touch a federal highway.
So we've got a track record of doing this. Mason's done an incredible job
of economic development. Some of the businesses that they have in Mason are just
unbelievable. They've competed not just on our regional scale, but on a global
scale, and they've won. There are so many factors that come into play.
It is just and hopefully this impression because I know, you know,
we always try to give facts on your show, Willie, as opposed to
opinion of a lot of people here give opinions. I only deal with facts.
So the fact is that hopefully people understand that I have a little bit
of street cred when it comes to being fiscally conservative. We do not waste
taxpayer dollars. We those are sacred in our world. We literally gave the
largest property tax holiday last year in the state, maybe the nation's history.
So we take this stuff very seriously. So if we're committing and spending public
dollars on this, darnwell assured that it's worth it. So we are not
going to be timid in these negotiations. We're not going to leave any stone
unturned. We are going to bring our best game and we're going to give
it a shot. But you know what, this is the free market,
and it is private capitals determination on what he wants to do. He's got
a known quantity here, He's got a fairly set price of what he knows.
These renovations are going to be welly, do you know that at the
current center, no matter what we think of it, that they don't even
have a kitchen facility there. Right, All the food is brought in.
There's not a players center there. There's all sorts of just kind of basic
things that are done there. So the vision is to think bigger. The
vision is to say pickleball has exploded here. Tourism is Warren County's number one
industry, bringing in millions of people into town. Why are we not expanding
this in the Beamont Capital folks actually are recommending this, putting in pickleball courts
at the community that the tournaments can have. Let's build an indoor facility that
will make this more year round. Let's have concerts there. Let's do the
Linder Center of Hope, which is for folks having some men problems at the
time. Let's try to get some program into where we can bring some of
those folks, including folks, you know, especially the younger youth folks over
there and have tennis camps and get some some joy in their life. It's
literally around the corner from them. So those are all the things outside the
box, Willie, that we're trying to do and trying to present and saying,
my goodness, you've got a known core. And yes, it's not
saying, you know, to be candid, it's not starting from scratch,
it's not all brand new, but there's some advantages of the way it is
here. And it's going to be three four hundred million dollars cheaper out of
your own pocket to keep it here versus going somewhere else. And you know
how much money ben Navera put up then you put up three to four hundred
million dollars anyway, and so there's a point at which you got to say,
look, I put up three or four hundred million dollars in order to
bring the tournament owned. The tournament and Mason's coming up with a program with
David Young and with Mason and City of Mason, and with the State of
Ohio. I know Mike DeWine is entering, he wants to keep it,
and you got Bill sites I want to keep it that it would save him
about three to four hundred million dollars to keep it here. But then you're
also talking about pickleball and indoor concert and all that kind of stuff. Sounds
to me like that's to plan B for somehow. Ben Navarro says, okay,
in B mark Capital, we're taking it. That's why I bought it.
I can imagine if Linda and John Barrett had and was from Cincinnati and
they and they had bought the tournament out North Carolina and they want to bring
it back. I get that completely. But you're talking about a plan B,
aren't you. You got a Plan A, and you got a Plan
B, and you got a Plan C. So if we lose the tournament,
then you go to b C and D. Well, there's obviously backups,
but we're not even considering those backup plans right now. When I'm talking
about pickleball, I'm saying, you integrate that now. There is room now
the Bemark Capital folks want to put those items there now because it actually generates
revenue. Now they know that they're very smart developers. They know what they're
doing. So those are incorporated into the current facility of keeping the Western Southern
Tennis Tournament here. So when I'm talking about pick a ball and indoor courts
and all that type of stuff, that's in conjunction with keeping the tournament here.
Now all right, let's see where it goes. And just timing wise,
will this be decided to say, by Labor Day of this year?
The indication one would think, I mean that published reports from the Beamont Capitol
folks are saying after this year's tournament, which is obviously in August, so
hopefully it's right around the corner. But from the public standpoint, we're bringing
in our a game. We were trying everything possible from the city of Mason
to Warren County to the state of Ohio and even the Cincinnati business community,
because you know what, it's one thing, and I told my friends down
there this, Willie. It's one thing to say, hey, we're going
to have a conference call. We really support you. Okay, that's great,
But what we need out of the business community is saying, you know
what, we know our business is impacted by this. I'm going to sponsor
Court number fourteen on a four year deal for one hundred thousand a year.
Okay, let's come up with a package. Here's five million dollars or here's
ten million dollars a year that the Cincinnati business committee or community can come up
with and say this is what we're committing to do. That's all part of
this equation. You don't have to go to Charlotte and try to find these
brand new sponsors and do all this. People here in town, these big
brands, they know how important this is and how it's identified here, Rellie.
One of the things that's really interesting we have so many international companies coming
to Warren County. I mean it's honestly it surprises me. We do not
send our economic development folks overseas. Why are they coming here? Well,
maybe there's a correlation between the international hits to the Western Southern website is more
than the Reds and Bengals get internationally combined is a global event that they identify
it. They see it, they see the BEAUTI they see King's Island across
the street. It's a wonderful place to live and work and play and raise
your family. And we're getting those international players, meaning companies coming here.
So that's why this is in the taxpayer's best interest to keep what we have.
All right, we gotta run. But David Young, I'm glad the
team is together. The team is involved every part of it. And if
it's a personal decision by ben Navero to move it to the Caroline is,
so be it. But I'm glad that people like you and Bill Sites and
Jeff Birding and the big corporate type spart and the lenders are pitching like crazy.
And if it doesn't work, go to plan B, C and D.
Once again, David Young, I'll see you at the Monkey Bar sometime
this weekend to have a little of chicken wings and maybe a nice tea.
God bless you, Willie, and God bless America. Let's continue with more

the time, so many issues and I have so little time. I know
that Western and Southern and the Carl Lender family a company, seve done everything
in their power to keep the tennis tournament here. It's up to Ben Navarro,
a personal who says whether to do it or not to do it,
keeping it here would save him maybe a couple hundred million dollars too many.
That's like real money, except the live tour. But on the other hand,
I put this shoe on the other foot, what if John Barrett and
Carl Lender, etc. Had purchased a tennis tournament that was located in say,
Charlotte, North Carolina, with those community minded to leaders, keep it
in Charlotte or would they bring it to Cincinnati? Answer as they'd bring it
to Cincinnati. That's why they bought it. The shoes on the other foot,
Ben Navarro, who is a multi multi billionaire worth about seven billion dollars,
wants to have his own tennis tournament in his backyard. Now he's in
South Carolina. The tournament's going to be allegedly in Charlotte, and they're gonna
put up about one hundred and fifty million dollars to get it rolling. And
there's a cost at which it makes no sense to keep it. I know
that Lender and the farm some sin toss next door and fit Third Bank and
Proctern God and John Barrett and Western Southern financial group, etc. Will do
almost everything in their power to keep it. But on the other hand,
there's a point at which it doesn't make any sense at all. It makes
it would save Ben Navarro about two hundred million dollars with all the other contributions
being made to keep it in Mason. Off the air, I spoke to
our good governor Mike Dwine is going to come with us, be with you
and I hopefully tomorrow about noon, to talk about various issues, and this
is one of them. He will freely tell all who listen that we have
about a five billion dollars surplus that appears to be growing because the new business
is locating in Ohio. He told me off the air that his main focus
is to get the test course of high school kids up. That we have
to have a literate workforce to handle all of the business coming to Ohio,
and right now maybe we don't have it. I think you and I know
that's true. But on the other hand, he's willing to put up a
large amount of money, and so is Bill Sits, who controls the Ohio
House along with Robert Cupp with an iron grip that but at some point it's
like, well, you'll save two hundred million dollars if you keep the tournament
here. On the other hand, if you move to what do you do
with that huge facility now Plan B, Plan C and Planned Deer being configured
by Dave Young, by former Mayor Don Prince of Mason, and by the
State of Ohio, and by Western and Southern and Carl Lender, etc.
And Jeff Birning. There's other things you can do. But we have one
hundred and twenty four year history starting I think in eighteen ninety nine at the
old Coney Island. The tournament's been here through thick and thin for one hundred
and twenty four years. Now I would add a PostScript, and then I
have to talk about my guest at one o'clock, Professor Scott Gerber of the
Ohio Northern University Law School. But before we get to that, there's a
point at which you say, Okay, this is a twenty year deal.
I can recall the house in days twenty five years ago, when NASCAR was
the biggest thing in the world, and that everyone could name the heavyweight champion
of the world. Everyone knew the middleweight champion of the world. That certain
sports at certain times Wax and Wayne. The typical tennis fan right now probably
cannot name a male or female player from the United States of America that's dominating
on the World Tour because there aren't any. And of course, after the
Joker leaves, I'd have a difficult time naming many of the male tennis players
that would show up in Mason to play. Last year, nine of the
top ten came male, everyone except Djokovic. Nine of the top ten females
played. The era of Jimmy Connors and Serena Williams and Venus Williams and Pete
Sampriss and John McEnroe appears to be over, and so tennis in the future
may not be as tennis has been in the past. I can imagine the
finals. I know that when Roger Federer came to town and played in the
finals and one a few times, it was the toughest ticket to find.
It's unbelievable to have FC and the Reds and the Bengals at one part of
town, and then we used to have the NASCAR at the other in Northern
Kentucky and then to have the tennis to It's a big deal, but at
some point it doesn't make sense to give hundreds of millions of dollars to a
billionaire. But I want to compliment all the parties involved, especially those putting
up the money for this to happen. And uh and we'll know in the
next eight weeks. Unlike many other things, this thing's gonna come and go.
Right after this year's tournament. They're gonna make an announcement. And I
pray to god it stays in Mason because it is a wonderful event. To
expand it, make it bigger, double the size, two week tournament,
make it a big deal, have at it. But at some point,
when you pay the band, you call the tune. In this case,
Ben Navarro is a paying the band, and they're going to play the tune
that he calls for. So let's continue. Secondly, coming up after one
o'clock today, I listened to him first when Mike Allen had him on a
week ago Saturday, Professor Scott Gerber and I brought this up to Mike Dwine.
I'm gonna talk to him about it tomorrow because Mike DeWine are good governor.
As a graduate of Ohio Northern University and Ada and about one o'clock on
April the fourteenth. April the fourteenth, what about almost two months ago.
Professor Scott Gerber was conducting his class at Ohio Northern University Law School. He's
been there over twenty years. He's been selected by the student as a Teacher
of the Year repeatedly, and he's well liked and well loved. He also
has a conservative libertarian viewpoint. Scott Gerber, he objected publicly as vice chair
and University Council as an ali did faculty governance body when diversity, equity and
inclusion was the foundation going forward of Ohio Northern University. D EI is a
virus that's infected colleges and universities all over America and even in small town America
like Ohio Northern Aida. Ohio is small town America. This is not Ohio
State, this is not you see. You can imagine what happens in those
large campuses. He expressed concerns that there needed to be protection for diversity viewpoints,
that is conservative viewpoints, and he was smited down. And he also
was selected by many legal organizations in law schools as one of the top professors
in America. He's got ten books out He's published numerous articles expressing conservative and
libertarian viewpoints that are now not acceptable at all Ohio Northern University. May I
use the term not exactly the Harvard of the Midwest, but I won the
University of Toledo. I did pretty well, and Toledo is not the Harvard
of the Midwest anymore than Chase College of Law in Northern Kentucky is not highly
considered by the Graham Pooh boss. There are many great students that have come
out of Ohio Northern University law school, but listen up. On April fourteenth,
as he was teaching his constitutional law class at Ohio Northern University, campus
security guards in uniform with guns entered the back of his classroom, walked down
to the front with students present, and they whispered something in his ear along
the lines of you have to come with us. And the first thing he
thought of was something happened to a family member, or there's maybe an active
shooter on campus. This has never happened before. During class, the two
security guards perp walked him out of his classroom through the middle of his students.
Armed town police followed him down the hallway. The students are in shock.
At this point, there's about three weeks of classes left and finals,
and Professor Gerber is in shock, thinking, my god, what happened?
He was escorted into the dean's office. He was told that he's barred from
teaching in Ohio Northern and he Spanish from campus and told that if he didn't
sign a separation agreement within the next seven days, that o NU would begin
dismissal proceedings against him the grounds lack of collegiality, lack of collegiality, with
no other specifics. Since that time, it's been almost almost eight weeks.
Seven weeks, he's written for The New York Times, this story has been
in Fox News and elsewhere. And what happened is that o NU Ohio Northern
University is aggressively pursuing quote diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and he objected
to it publicly as vice chair of the University Council because he believed that diversity
viewpoint should be added, not that d EI or d IE should be eliminated,
but we need to have diversity of thought and that For the last several
months, he's appeared on television, written opinion viewpoints and out elsewhere talking about
the fact that we have to have different opinions being expressed. He also had
the temerity to support, now here's a character of odious connections, the Great
Justice Clarence Thomas. He wrote an article saying that an op ed that Clarence
Thomas violated no ethical considerations. In fact, the federal judges ethical committees have
passed on Judge Thomas several times when complaints have been filed. He's allowed to
have friends, even rich friends. So the semester concluded an investigation has now
been launched about how a person like Professor Scott Gerber can harbor different viewpoints than
the liberals running Ohio Northern University. Pursuant there too, I had a conversation
this morning with the House Majority leader the Great Bill Sites and there is a
more than a probable circumstance that cent of Bill eighty three is going to pass
that will require all public colleges and universities receiving state money to permit without punishment,
diverse opinions being expressed. So I spoke to Mike Wine about an hour
ago off the air about coming on to mar by the way. Mike DeWine
is a graduate of the Ohio Northern University. Scott Gerbert will be with you
and I in about fifteen minutes from now. Please please please hold on listen
to what you have to do as a great American to make this, make
this some good result come of this. This is a sixty some year old
quarter of a century professor of law, well published, very popular, who's
a conservative, and of course the liberals cannot put up with conservative opinions.
Now. Secondly, you may know now there's a female college student at the
University of Cincinnati, and this is also going to be brought up, and
I'm going to pursue this and well, okay, breaking news, Dela Cruz
is now a red So as we continue, the University of Cincinnati has indicated
that if you expressed different viewpoints than the liberals who run the school, guess
what you're going to get an f You're not going to be able to graduate.
We're gonna make sure that you don't. There was a female student at
the University of Cincinnati who used the term biological female. That's her crime,
biological female, and she was told by the gender studies professor whether one should
even be in gender studies might be a different thing. The student's name is
Olivia Kroulsik. Her essay proposal was about transgender athletes competing in women's sports,
and the UC student is speaking out after her professor failed her for using the
term biological female. Olivia Kroulsik says her gender studies teacher professor gave her a
zero on an essay proposal about transgender athletes competing in women's sports because she used
the forbidden term biological woman. The feedback from the professor said the following,
Olivia, this is a solid proposal. However, the term biological female are
conclusionary and are not allowed in this course. As a further reinforce header normality,
header normality, whatever the hell that is, please reassess your topic and
edit it to focus on women's rights, not females, and I'll regrade so
you get a zero zero if you use the term biological female. The paper
itself is very good, but that is like hate speech. That's like the
N word, that's like the F word. You can't say it. So
she used the term biological female and got an I don't know what an F
is. A zero. I guess an f's like a sixty eight or sixty
nine, she gets a zero, she must change her thinking. So we're
going to reach out to her see if she'll come on and unbelievable. The
college student says she had not seen the professor pushing this gender ideology on the
rest of the online clash. She recalled another banter over privilege, about white
privilege, and she made the point that white men are not always privileged,
and she was smited down, like with a jaw bone of an ass for
saying that somehow that white men are privileged. So all the white guys that
I work with, many of whom make ten to fifteen dollars an hour,
you are privileged. And when she said that, then all hell broke loose.
Let's continue. Please stay tuned for this an important interview Professor Scott Gerber
from Ohio Northern University. It's going to be with us to talk about why
he was called a non person. He doesn't exist anymore. He's banished from
campus because he's a conservative that supported some of the opinions of Clarence Thomas and
on university council said we need diversity of thought on campus, and he was
smotted down with a jawbone of an ass because he had the temerity to do
that. And you see, gender studies can't use biological female because they don't
exist. By if you're a woman type person, biologically you're a female,
you're being told and taught you don't exist. Something else must be used to
describe your XX or XY. If you're XX, you're a female. If
you're XY, you're a male. Science is real. No, no,
not really. This is a serious problem, and especially at a law school,
whether there's diversity of opinions supposedly, Oh no, no, at Ohio
Northern and I think the same thing applies that you see or Chase or Toledo
or case Western or Ohio State. There's one way at looking at Clarence Thomas
and Joe and Olito and a different way. And if you don't look at
it the way we want you to look at it, we will make you
a non person and require you pushed out across the table and sign the separation
agreement in which will buy off your your loyalty. Well, Professor Scott Gerbert
went up, permitted, let's continue if the line becomes available five one three,
seven, four nine seven thousand, one oh five Today, Scott Gerber,

the nation, there's efforts to regiment thinking and academic work. There's one way
of looking at things. There's not two or three or four. Many times
you might hear an argument. I know when I did a lot of appell
at work, I would hear an argument on one side, and then I
would hear the argument on the other side, and I made me to reconsider
my first view point and whether it's Stanford College of Law that has Circuit court
judges being shouted down, or a commencement speaker an NYU College of Law that
referred to Jews as mass murderers and mass exterminators of the Palestinian people. Many
times on law school and college campuses, like a University of Cincinnati where a
female study student referred to women as biologically female and she was given a zero
because that was perceived as being hate speech. Another story is percolating involving Professor
Scott Gerber at Ohio Northern University. He's written that he's objected publicly as the
vice chair of the University Council, an elected faculty governance body, and in
newspaper ads and on television to d ei efforts that don't include viewpoint diversity and
would lead to a legal discrimination and employment. And the same week he was
let out of his classroom by police, he published an op ed defending Justice
Clarence Thomas right to have friends, even rich ones. Joining me now is
that Saint Professor of Scott Gerber and Scott Gerber, welcome for the first time
to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, can you relate to
the American people what happened to you about one o'clock on Friday, April the
fourteenth at Ohio Northern University. What happened? I was teaching my constitutional law
class, and just as we were wrapping up, the campus security, multiple
campus security come down to the front of the room where I was and whisper
into my ear something to the effect of your respected member of the community.
Please follow us quietly to the Dean's office, and so I had to walk
through my students who were in the aisle and essentially do a perp walk and
out in the hallway at the right at the door, and then that escorted
me to the Dean's office were armed town police. And so then when I
got in to the Dean's office, you know, a multiple campus security and
armtown police were guarding the doors in the dean's suite. And I was presented
with a piece of paper that said that I had seven days to decide whether
to resign and release any legal claims I might have against the university, or
the dean would commence the dismissal proceedings against me. And of course, since
I'm over forty, by law, I'm required to have twenty one days,
not seven. And so, but what their objective was, in my opinion,
was just to humiliate me and frighten me and to signing a document that
was illegal for them to ask me to sign. So I would just go
away quietly and wouldn't be able to push back against any of these programs that
I thought had drifted into illegality. Professor Gerber, I've in many law classes
for many years. It took me four years to get out on the University
of Toledo because I was a bailiff at during the day eight to four,
went to law school at night six to ten. Took me four years inside
the classrooms at Toledo. And I'm sure the case is Ohio Northern. The
college, the law school professor is respected. You've been there more than twenty
years, you have tenure, and I think you sound to me like you
maybe in your six fifties or sixties. You've been around a little bit.
And so have you ever heard of armed police officers in the middle of a
class walk in and perp walk the law professor through his class into the dean's
office. How unusual is that? I've never heard of it in my lass
act. The reason I think are one of the reasons that my story is
getting so much attention is because of how outrageously extreme it was to have the
police involved in this is just way way over the line to interrupt my students
like this. There were still three weeks of classes left in final exams,
and I was banished. I couldn't even finish the semester, you know,
I couldn't go to commencement, none of that stuff, And to this day,
I don't have any specifics about what they say I've done wrong because I
haven't done anything wrong. Well, you only objected to things that I thought
were illegal, which I'm allowed by law to do. As you know,
since you're a lawyer, d EI efforts you believe and viewpoint diversity. Colleges
and law schools today do not generally believe in viewpoint diversity. What they call
it is hate speech. Had you done what activities had you committed previous to
that April fourteenth day that showed your support for viewpoint diversity that may have angered
the administration Ohio Northern What had you written about Clarence Thomas? What are you
written about d EI? What are you written in the past that caused this
to happen? Okay, Well, the same week that I was escorted out,
I was escorted out on a Friday, April fourteenth. That Monday,
I wrote an op ed in The Hill defending Clarence Thomas's right to have friends,
including rich Ones. The week before that, I did my monthly TV
segment on the local NBC News and we talked about Senate Bill eighty three in
Ohio, which is the anti woke bill and I pointed out that there were
some good things in the bill, including the fact that they were just reminding
colleges and universities that they couldn't violate the law at institutions of higher education in
hiring and student admissions. The week before that, I published an op ed
in the National newspaper and then also an Ohio newspaper. In fact, the
Ohio paper was your own Cincinnati Inquirer making the same point. And then earlier
in the semester, as vice chair of the Council, I politely raised my
hand after our chief diversity officer had made her report to council and asked her
to please remember to also address viewpoint diversity, and that didn't go over well.
And then in the past, you know, I had objected to faculty
hiring processes in the law school that we're excluding qualified white men as finalists.
We had one where we had six finalists and not one of them was a
white male, and that's not a coincidence. And I later learned that they
were emphasizing race, gender, and ethnicity in the hiring process, which is
illegal. You're a lawyer, you know that you cannot take race, gender,
and ethnicity into account at all in hiring. You can take it into
account a little bit in admissions, but even that's going to go up window
at the end of this month when the Supreme Court forbids it. I think
so, But you know, as a I did a lot of labor law
work for Higher Civil Service Employee Association. Sometimes there's a pretext firing, which
is, well, this is a bad apple. This guy doesn't work well.
He doesn't show up for his classes to teach. He's got a few
arrest in his background. He's charged with domestic violence. This guy's passing bad
checks, that kind of stuff. Is there anything in Professor Scott Gerber's background
that would indicate that you engage in some behavior other than believing in diversity of
thought that would have caused this pretext firing? There is not. I'm ali.
I worked very hard. I wake up early to prepare my classes,
I go to bed early, and in between I'm working on my riding.
I stay away from people that have made it clear to me that they don't
like me because they don't share my commitment to viewpoint diversity. And that also
it seems like a little bit jealous of my writing because I publish a lot,
and you know, I'm so I go out of my way to stay
away from them. So I have done nothing, nothing, And in fact,
you know, the basis for this dismissal is collegially that's not even listed
in the faculty handbook, as the grounds were dismissing someone, especially someone who
has won the Best Teacher of the award recently, who has published more than
anyone in the history of the university, and who does it good and important
service, including fifteen years in counting as a member of the Ohio Advisory Committee
to the US Commission on Civil Rights, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So
I haven't done anything. I'm a very boring person except when I have to
defend myself against things like this. You know, my hobbies are out and
have a pizza occasionally or maybe some wings, and I like, um,
you know, sports, and so I'll watch sports and stuff like that.
But I keep to myself. Well as far as that, well, what
impact did this have on your students as their professor was let out by armed
guards and police, What impact did it have on them? Did it it
has the I think the viewpoint of maybe stilling those who may have similar viewpoints
from expressing them as rather frosty. What impact did it have on your students,
as their beloved professors let out by armed guards. Well, when when
the campus security officer was whispering into my ear, I lifted my eyes to
the to the class, and the students looked confused and scared, and so
of course I was confused and scared. But then I was banished from the
campus that you know, that day, right after I met with the dean,
so I wasn't allowed to communicate with the students. You know, I
happened to run into a couple of them on the you know, in town
while I was taking a walk or going to the bank or something like that,
and they were upset by it. And I've been defamed, you know.
That's the other part of this, and that's one reason that they did
it. They wanted to poison the campus against me by making people think there
was like an active shooter on the campus, or you know, making it
seem like I was a monster. And there was even an article in the
student newspaper that painted it that way that students had no idea what was going
on, and the administration was, you know, locking down the law school
and treating it like an active shooter. Grow professor. I would think,
I would, I would think you're like a non person. I can recall
what happened in the old Soviet Union or communist right China that if someone doesn't
think correctly, you become a non person. You don't exist. Yeah.
No, it's I'm naive, or I was naive enough to think that,
given the fact that I attendure in my record is just so strong, and
I don't want to sound like I'm dragging, but it's really strong. In
fact, this summer, i'm finishing reviewing the page proofs for my tenth book
that one of the great university presses in the world is publishing. I could
actually exercise my free speech rights and the best interest of the university and just
point out that you cannot push these programs to the point of illegality, and
you cannot forget that the most important thing about higher education is that you expose
students to computing viewpoints about certain things. I was naive to think I could
do that, but I'm not allowed to do that, and they're trying to
ruin my life because of it. That's it. I kind of think I
can see how this is playing out from Ohio Northern University. They're thinking,
Okay, this guy's going to sign off. We'll put them under a lot
of pressure. Here's the separate Asian Agreement in which you give up all your
rights to sue whatever under various illegalities committed by a higher Northern And here's some
money. Here's the check, and Scott Garber, here's the payoff. Here's
the forty shekels that we're going to push your way, and we're going to
pay you one or two years of salary. Know your role, shut your
mouth and go away. Have you considered signing the separation agreement and getting paid
to get rid of your to get rid of your rights and the ability to
sue, because that money is going to be pushed your side of the table
and you got to sign them all away. Will you do that? Oh
no, I already declined to sign it. I mean this is I'm not
in it for money. If my life was about making money, I would
have stayed a lawyer and I could have made a lot of money. We
don't get paid very well. And my father was a college professor, and
I always loved ideas. I love what I do I love working with the
students. I love writing about ideas. I love going to other universities and
you know, sharing my research and things like that. I love talking to
community groups about my ideas. And so I'm actually an ideal person to be
a faculty member. And they're trying to literally end my career period. And
if they if they get away with this, there's no other college that's going
to hire me. No, so my career is over. And you're right,
I'm not his spring chicken anymore. And so this is it. So
Luckily for me, I have lawyers that are helping me, and you know,
a friend of mine started to go fund me page for me to kind
of help me raise money for that, because the university has a lot deeper
pockets than me. And you can rest assured that the dean's legal fees are
going to be paid by the university, not out of his own pocket.
And they just hope that people that they mistreat like me will go bankrupt fighting
him and then give up. Well, I've contacted Bill Sites, he's the
House Majority leader. He's aware. There's a story on Fox News also Wall
Street Journal about this about a few discrimination and you're rather naive to think that
a person should be judged by the quality of their academic credentials and their pursuits
and their thinking as opposed to skin color. But when you say white men
should be treated equally to other individuals, that it's wrong racially to exclude someone
based upon skin color, that to me is basic American principles of fairness,
but it meant many I think most colleges, universities, especially law schools,
that doesn't apply anymore. And it's sad. But once again the go fund
me page you can google Scott Gerber Legal Fund, Scott Gerber Legal Fund to
assist and professor. I'd love I'd love to have been back in time.
I had a great professor named ron rate our Ai t t. He was
eclectic and he was strong. He was great. When I think of people
like you, I think at all the law school professors that are teaching the
lawyers in the future. Do not bend over and take one for the team,
Do not sell your rights for money, and that in your fight today
will be our fight tomorrow. And I wish you nothing but the best.
Scott Gerber, And what final comment would you like to make to the American
people? Well, I just want to thank you for that. I want
people judged on the merits, that's what I want. I want people to
work hard, and if someone has more talent than me or works harder than
me, they should prevail. But if I work harder and I have more
talent, I shouldn't have my career ruin just because I think for myself and
don't go along with what I consider to be illegal hiring and admissions practices.
Scott, Professor, if you lose this case and if you sign away your
rights, which appear to be unlikely, and if you if you don't pursue
this case, there'll be other Scott Gerber's all around the Midwest in the world
that's gonna be subjected to the same things that you've gone through. Your fight
today will be our fight tomorrow, and I wish you and yours nothing but
the best. Thank you, professor. Well, thank you very much,
and enjoy the rest of the day. God bless America. Thank you.

We love to honor young Americans doing well and they're selected sports. And you
have coming in now the Muller High School Volleyball State Champion Division one, Willie,
under the great leadership of Lee Meyer. Lee Mayer, good to see
you. You were here like two or three years ago? Correct? What
happened then? If anything, we won a championship two years ago, we
won a championship last year, and we did it three times in a row
this year. Three And these are the young men who led the team to
glory and for some the judgment seat of God absolutely with us. Are also
my three senior captains, Ben Haggarty, Jack Dollard and Brodie thrim Now,
where are you guys going to college? I guess you applied to Xavier and
most are not admitted to Xavier. Happened to get into somewhere else Where are
you going to go to school? If anywhere, going to University of Cincinnati,
the home of the bear Cats. Next up, my name's Jack Dodd.
I'm going to Kentucky, the home of the Wildcats. I'm Ben Higherty.
I'm going to Tennessee, the home of the volunteers. Coach talking about
the game, I got a report here from the segment that the muhller men
were down zip to two. You were all but done and buried. There
were blood everywhere on the court. All hell was breaking loose. But a
hand came up from the pit and said, not on my watch, describe
what happened. If anything, it was just absolutely crazy down two first time.
Maybe we were there a couple other times this season, but not on
the platform of of the state championship matching people laughing at, just snickering.
It was. It was a brutal environment playing and uh, you know,
these guys came pulled, pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and said we're not
done yet. Took a tight Game three, we're down by more points than
we should have ever been. In game four about twenty to thirteen. Came
back and won by a margin of two points twenty one though we played twenty
five, so it's twenty to thirteen. You're getting hammered. Absolutely. There's
teeth, hair, and I in blood, everywhere the boys have given up.
But then you said not on my watch. I said, either we're
going to believe that we can do this and win, We're at the very
least we're going to go down fighting. Then what happened. We won on
twelve and three run won that game twenty five twenty three, which set us
up for a fifth set and a coach, was there a particular spike or
a moment of great alacrity that showed Muller will not be defeated. I'd have
to say, and I think these guys can agree with it, is when
Tyler Gessel brought kid line shot directly off of their setter's face. Oh no,
and mayor may or may not have cost a concussion, but the kid
played on. Let him play, Let him play back. When I was
at Derr Parker by spraying an ankle, I would chew it off and just
kept on playing. And yeah, we we just kept playing through we were
down thirteen twelve and the fifth and final set, and came back and won
the next three points to crown ourselves as a three time champion. Now before
seg Babbel's on, I got some record here to indicate that the volleyball team
at Muller High School is one eleven times. Is that correct? That is
correct? More than any other sport at Muller High School. Volleyball is number
one. Yes, Baseball is number number three, Football is number two.
Basketball won a few times. Carl Kramerk and coach, but he won't play
deer Park and then also teams against lacrosse and also rugby. Is that correct?
It is right? How does it look for next year? Coach?
I think we've got to solid squad returning. Uh. No, discredit to
these seniors. I think they've left. They look old and gray. They
got child support payments, they got alimony, They're getting old. I think
they got tired of playing for me, so they decided to continue on somewhere
else. But yeah, I think I think we've got a great squad returning.
A lot of talent come up from JV, and ultimately, if they
buy into the system, I think will have an equally a successful season.
Does anyone ever won four in a row? No, this will be a
record that'll stand the test of time if it happens. Great. Three in
row was a record so well. Athletic director was Carl Kramer. The principal
is easy to deal with. Doctor Krem and kremcheck. Those guys are over
there. Walt Sweeney's building all the baseball facilities. Do you have your own

five yard par three sixth poles, I would hit an eight iron. Well

When for myself? I mean, you got Della Cruz. What if he
fails miserably and strikes out, he won't. He won't, just like Andrew
Abbott, last night. Can he play? This guy six foot five jumps
out of the out of the court. Wouldn't you use him? He probably
doesn't him a high school degree? About getting him a muller. Let's play
a little volleyball. He'd be great. He's a volleyball advocate. I know
he actually put some money down to start a professional league up in Chicago.
There you go. Excuse me about that. Excuse me, I've been he
could jump out of this skinny that doesn't look like you. Nope, no
way. Now what does this mean for Della Cruz? I mean this is
the bigges, same thing as Andrew Abbott last night he was making his major
league debut. Look on stout hit, no runs, I tell pictures,
not it done. Don't have to throw ninety five. You gotta locate and
change your spot. Matt McLean hitting hit? You know one out of the
ball. Is Dela Cruz playing short? Is mcay oh? No? Yet?
Second? Is in youa playing third? Maybe? So we don't go
first? Botto, No, it's who at first? I don't know's it
second? Who cares? Is it short? So we don't know who's playing?
We don't know yet. I'm gonna see what happens. That's all we
can do better. You got the hotline to David Bell down there. I
gotta come. I taught him out a hit. I know you did.
He went to Muller, you know, I know he did, and then
he uh went on to some fame and baseball and he's manager of the race
right here. Do you know David Bell? I know of the name,
but I've not met him. Please continue segment. That's all I got Willie
David Bell. We only got him out to Muller. I mean he was
pretty good here. I watched him playing high school. Have you thought about
how about doing a big event with Gus Bell, David Bell and the other
get all the bills? Have you thought about that, Buddy Bell, get
all the bills? I think Tim Helth did something where they did a baseball
preview with some of the Bells. But he doesn't want to get Larkin and
Junior to come back. How big would that be? They wouldn't do it
when they played me Abe, they'll do it now. Would be awesome if
they did. Why don't we ask him a check? Will cram check?
Okay, let's get Griffy and Larkin and Bell back to Muller. Oh,
would that be something? They'd be lined up from here to down Montgomery Road
for autographs or just photos. People going nuts? Well, coach once again
this time next year? Will you retur earned like MacArthur to the Philippines?
Shout will you? That's the case, coach? You know, using year
here, you win the next year and the next year. About the guy
from Beachwood, maybe we could be assistant coaches on the team. Is jumping
a key part of what you do as a coach? Yeah? Absolutely not.
How about the players? Perfect? Do you want to answer that?
Yes? You gotta? Can you dunk a basketball? Can? Who's the
best setter on the team? Center? Markham Center? Do you mean center?
Not center? You fool right? That's what you said, wasn't it?
No? I said center? Center? Set who's the best setter?
Who's the best striker? Loaded questions? I'm going to defer step up.
Who's the best setter? The best setter has probably been Markham Ben who's the
best striker? I'd have to say Will Patterson. He's going to play D
one at uh Fall State next year. So I'm in the Cardinals munths Indiana.
Pretty good stuff, well, coach, congratulations. I like to hallmark
and note that young people doing right things need to be complimented. Those doing
wrong things should be embarrassed and ridiculed. And these fine young men have succeeded
beyond their expectations. Winning three in a rows almost impossible. Four in a
row is very unlikely, but it's possible. Give Carl Kramer my best will
and get a race. Should I talk about about giving you more money?
Do you get a bonus when you win the state? I have not the
last three years. So that's a minute. What's going on? Oculus?
Get Barrett Cohen on it, Tim Kraft on the line. I'll give you
some money, some money. These boys look like they don't need money.
They look like rich kids. Look at them, they're Snickers trophies, nice
too, Willisa Hey. That's one good thing they've done over the years is
finally get a trophy that looks like it's a better luck trophy. Huh,
better looking than before? Right? Fine, let's get a picture of the
trophy. Whatever you seach. Congratulations players, good luck. Let this be
the beginning of better things in each year, lives, get married, have
kids, do what's right. Don't be a clown don't be a fool and
support your family, pay your taxes, take your vitamins, and do what's

I asked young people help, step up to the microphone. Who's the governor
of Ohio? Why? Very good? How many US senators are there in
the United States Senate? One hundred? All right, that's not just like
sports Jeopardy here or something. What's the capital of Indiana? Very good?
So these kids have some intelligence, right? Very few of the good right
answers here from this segment. Thank you somebody from dear park. But do
you know I don't think so. Bite your tongue. I'm sorry, coach.
Congratulations. Let's continue with morning. Others like Chris Smitherman. Why so
much crime in the inner city? Why so much death, disease and pestilence
happening in Cincinnati? That's next at Jeromia Red's and Della Cruz News Radio seven
hundred w LW no Dutch basion. The Civil War ended in eighteen sixty five,
one hundred forty three years later, the last Civil War widow died.
Marty Hopkins was nineteen when she married an eighty six year old Confederate veteran in
nineteen thirty six. When Marty passed in two thousand and eight, she became
the oldest known Civil War widow. No chasion. Speaking of amazing check out
Eddie and Rocky. They have the fun times you're looking for after a long
day. No that Basion Eddie and Rob this afternoon at three seven hundred WLDM
this September go in the right direction. I have a podcast where I talk
about how to live positive, great folking good things. The feedback I'll often
here is that people enjoyed the podcast because they find it encouraging and inspiring.
Listen to the Joel Ostein podcast from the iHeartRadio app for wherever you listen to
podcast my Philly Cunningham The Great American. About a week ago, there were
anywhere between thirty and fifteen shots fired in and around ot R and McMicken and
the perpetrator's car has been located because it was stolen. It was a Hunday
it was stolen, but the perpetrators themselves, as we speak this afternoon,
have not been apprehended. There was a big news conference held police Chief Thiji
and others. The mayor issued a statement about this cannot stand. This will
not continue. It's not going to be the way things are happening in River
City. We don't want to become Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, or
Atlanta, Memphis, or Saint Louis or Baltimore. We got to remain Cincinnati.
Since that time, if possible, it's gotten worse, including eight year
old girls getting shot. A couple of days ago, there was a fourteen
year old boy shooting at police. There was a hostage incident in which a
known fell in thirty nine years old named Mitchell, fired dozens of shots at
police. It's amazing cops have not been killed. And no matter what the
politicians say, those committing the crimes are not paying attention. They're not part
of it. And for those who think it's a racial matter, let me
explain it to you this way. I work on the math and the city
of Cincinnati. There is one hundred and twenty thousand black folks who live in
the city of Cincinnati, say sixty thoe hundred twenty or mail. And of
the sixty thousand that are mail, about fifteen thousand or between the ages of
fifteen and thirty years old. So it's fifteen thousand and shoe eaters and Melissa
Powers of repeatedly said, if we could take five hundred off the streets,
crime will go down by eighty percent. The problem is locating him, getting
witnesses to testify. So over ninety five percent of young black kids want nothing
to do with crime. In fact, that number might be ninety nine percent,
but the one percent are causing disproportion of problems. Almost all these shootings
are black on black, even though the great majority of black folks in Cincinnati
are victims and have nothing to do with crime. A man with perspective on
this is the former Vice mayor Christopher Smitherman. Christopher Smitherman, Welcome again to
the Bill Cunningham Show. And just give me your reading. Where we are
this this Tuesday afternoon, and what kind of summer we're gonna have. Well,
first, I'm glad you're talking about it. And you know these are
Americans who are being shot. The seven year old girl in Avondale shot just
a tragedy. And you know we've got to have leadership. I'm talking about
public servants at city hall that make it very clear that they support cops.
Yeah, period, Okay, and that's not what's resonating from city hall,
right, and they're talking about counselors. How do we have thirty shots on
a Sunday afternoon, shot at Swat ye swat and you're shooting across the street,
You're hitting houses, you're hitting cars. How do you have a a
city worker who's out, you know, putting pickets on cars? This was
that car that was illegally parked. Um, this is we're talking parking enforcement
setting in his car, shot three times in the car. How does that
happen? How do we have a fifteen year old sound shot taken to you
see, and and then and then we lose that fifteen year old you know,
and then over the Rhine incident, just spring bullets across the street for
these young people running, um, you know, ten year olds being shot
and with What are the things I want to say is I talk at the
problem because it's important for people to have the context of what we're dealing with.
Right, we have a city hall talking about counselors, sending counselors to
sites, and we have a city hall that doesn't say we support our cops.
Because here's the reality. You and I know that that fourteen year old
who was shooting at a Cincinnati police officer. If that cincinnat police are earned
fire and at taking that young person's life, let's talk about it. Will
just be real. There would have been press conferences from the electeds. We
would have been on CNN, we would have been on MSNBC, and we
would have been talking about this very differently. And so our police officers need
to know at the fundamental core that we support them. That they're twenty year
olds, twenty two year olds, twenty three year old, twenty five year
old cops out there on the street and they're making split second decisions, and
we know that every decision that they make out there isn't going to be perfect
because I'm not perfect. The person might have a water gun, they might
have a pellet gun, they might have a knife, don't know, right,
And and what we do is Tuesday morning quarterback and destroy the life of
the officer and their families. And this is what City Hall does. And
so all of this stuff that the mayor is doing and the in the city
Council, the most important thing that they need to send the message number one
that we will do proactive policing and number two, we will back our cops
up. That's the most important thing they need to do right now. Now
when there when I talked to the cops and I talked to prosecutors, they
say, there's a small number of kids doing this. This is not it's
unfair to say a young Black Americans are doing this. No, A a
particular person who happens to be young and happens to be African American is doing
it. If the pictures of those who have been killed were put on the
front page of the Inquirer, over ninety percent of them would be black faces.
And generally, other young black males are killing other young black males.
But the great majority, like your kids, would have nothing to do with
taken up crime. They're the victims, they're not the perpetrators. Well,
why is there a distinct number of young black males disproportionately committing most of the
crime. Well, it's a it's an easy answer, but tough to say.
It's the broken family. Right. We don't have fathers in homes with
bodies on their kids. When I say bodies meaning fathers that are involved with
their children's life. Right, And you and I know that if we have
of nuclear families fathers involved handling their business. Number one we have. By
the way, let me call out you know, Child and Family Services needs
to be more aggressive around dead beat dads not paying their child support because we
have women having two kids out there, same father working at working very nice
jobs, working where there's construction, working in corporate America. They pay just
a little bit so that they don't have to go to jail. Our prosecutors,
I'm talking about prosecutor Missy Powers, who I support. I'm talking in
Kenton County, our prosecutor Rogers who you and I support. They need to
identify their top one hundred cases of deadbeat arrears, child supports, of cases
that accountable. We cannot allow our families to continue to live in body.
We have to make sure we hold our public schools accountable for their work,
and they're part of it. But getting into it, the number one issue
is we have nuclear families, white and black. By the way, white
families and black famis American families are experiencing this erosion and our and our nuclear
families and it is impacting. And our cops and our teachers and our social
workers can't do the jobs that that families need to be handling Christopher. When
I spoke to William C. Dahlman, who's the warden of the Levin and
Correctional Institution, and I speak to Richard K. Jones, who spent years
there as a guard, I said, how many times is there a person
in prison for many years who is married at the time the crime was committed,
that had been married to the same woman for a long period of time,
that have children that he supports and goes to church, synagogue or Moscow
on Sunday. How many times are married guys locked up in jail? And
he said, it doesn't happen. When I speak to teachers at Taft High
School or eight, can I say, how many of your students have a
mom and a dad that were married on the day they were born, and
now as teenagers they're still married and that they have a functional family. They
tell me it doesn't happen. So we blame a lack of courts, will
blame not enough swimming pools. We need more community counselors. Everyone's paid money
to participate in programs, but in reality, married men and do not commit
crime. Fathers with kids in the home do not commit crime. When I
go to a Smootherman family event. I see moms and our dad's, I
see children, and I see respect. A father needs to sit on a
son more than a mother needs to sit on a daughter because men commit most
of the crime. How do you incentivize fathers to become dads? How do
you make that happen? Well, one of the things is accountability, man.
I mean I just talked about you got I'm gonna call it out.
You still have instruction companies and small businesses that Pete's dad's under the table to
avoid child support. But let me pivot and just say this, will it
before you? Before I get away with it. There was a domestic violence
situation where a young woman lost her life to domestic violence this weekend, the
Duncan family. Yeah, I want to send my love and your love and
the city's love out to that family. Their visual is Wednesday, June the
seventh at seven pm at Saint Teresa of a Villa Church. And we didn't
need to love on them because she was one of the victims that lost her
life during this weekend. But we need to lean in my point, have
conversations like we're having now and call out. We need prosecutors that are willing
to go after the arrears. Nobody wants to talk about that. It's not
sexy because the dads are out there who are kicking it. They're taking cruises,
they're on Facebook, they're on Twitter, they live in big houses all
over the place. They're not paying their child support, and they're leaving their
children not only without a father, but economically castrated. That's not fair to
those families. We've got to hold them accountable. Number two, we've got
to make sure that we lean into our public school system. We've got thirty
seven thousand kids, give or take a thousand and since today public school,
seventy percent of them are African Americans. We need a better public school system
for our children. And we've got to hold people accountable. And we've got
to make sure we advocate because young people are still having babies early. You
and I know you have a baby when you're fourteen, you're already digging that
first hole for yourself because you're digging out of it. You're fourteen or fifteen
with a baby and no family, no central family that is, these are
natural potholes for these for these families. Now when you ask for myself,
we need more people out there that are involved putting bodies. You can't just
throw money at this who are tutoring and those are the basic things that we
need to do. But at the end of the day, where's our mayor,
where's our where I'm not running for any of these things. Where our
mayor? Where are the members of city council that are sending a clear message
we support our cops because at the end of the day, man, they're
being shot out. Swat was shot at thirty times this weekend. Thirty times,
man, And I'm saying to you that was one incident. The man
shot thirty times. I'm saying to you, if we don't have a city
council and a mayor that are afraid to stand up and say, man,
we're not for defunding the police, were not for the reimagination of the police
department. We have a great police chief and chief deg all of these kinds
of things undermine our police department and it doesn't have them get out there and
do the job that we need to legion and I understand it because they don't
want to destroy their life. Any of these incidents that we had happened,
if a cop had shot back and taken the life of one of those youths.
Willy, guess what you and I will be talking about something different.
Downtown would be on lockdown, we will be talking about burning things down.
We would not be Black Lives Matter would be everywhere. Black Lives Matter.
Our Cincinnati Police Department and our investigative gators teams every single day illustrate that they
care about the lives of black people, because if they weren't there, more
people would die. The University of Cincinnati and their team, their medical team,
all of those people that were shot, If they weren't the people that
they were, more people would have died. Over the last five days,
we have a tremendous trauma unit over at the University of Cincinnati. Black Lives
Matter. These are people. What I'm saying to you is, I'm tired
of these punchlines about our police don't care about black people. The University of
Cincinnaty doesn't care about black people. You and I don't care about black people.
Let me tell you something. Where are the leadership of Black Lives Matter
right now? They own the radio saying put down your guns. We want
to make sure that we get fathers in homes. We're holding people accountable.
You know why, because it doesn't fit the narrative. That's the problem.
And we've got Democrats who are liberals who got their head in the sand,
like this council, like this mayor, that want to nibble around the edges
instead of saying, you know what, we've got to hold these people accountable.
And by the way, you shoot my kid, you shoot at a
cop, we need prosecutors that will say we're gonna give you a hundred years.
We're gonna make sure you never see the light of day because we cannot
have people shooting at cops in our city. Period. Great comments, Smitherman,
Thank you once again, Vice Mayor, formerly on council for many years.
It begins with faith and family. Families and faith are the key to
great American success stories. When you have societies without family, without faith,
and without fathers, especially in their homes, sitting on that son as he
grows up, we got problems, Christopher, God bless you and God bless
America. Thank you. Chris Smith. Right, let's continue with more.
He brings up Black lives matter. They monetize themselves, and so it's an
extent that the founders are now building themselves eight to ten million dollar homes.
Black Lives Matter is a hoax because black lives matter only when the organization can
monetize it for personal benefit. Let's continue with more if a line becomes available.

this week's Marketers Report, Chris Brand, chief marketing officer at Supportley Mexican Grill,
ways in on the power of Many that black men do not commit disproportionate
numbers of crimes. There are men who are black individually that commit wrongfull offenses.
Big difference. So whether it's ninety eight percent ninety nine percent of black
folks between the ages of fifteen and thirty are not involved in crime. But
two things are equally true. One, the great majority of violent crimes and
major cities committed by black men or black teenagers. That's true. It's also
true that the great majority of black men would never commit a crime of any
type. In fact, they're often the victims thereof It's not a racial problem,
it's a behavior of difficulty. I like to know how many married men
with children who are in the home at the time they commit offenses actually are
in prison. It's a very small number. Black white polka dot makes no
difference, but largely an urban areas, the black community has lost its way
when it comes to fatherless homes. That's the problem. Midnight basketball leagues and
more hoops and open it up more swimming pools will not affect in Cincinnati the
five hundred to one thousand black persons between the ages of fifteen and thirty who
are a male that commit disproportionate offenses. Now, the great majority of even
that group, it's got nothing to do with crime. So it's a sadness
that we paint with a broad brush when we should not. As Joe Dieters
has said many times, in many places, in many ways, if we
could get five hundred to one thousand off the streets, crime would have plummet
by eighty percent. It's up to the police, up to the prosecutors,
up to the judges to send to prison for long periods of time those who
use guns to commit serious offenses. If that would happen, Cincinnati would be
a safer place for a long time. But now we're into this social justice
movement that makes that kind of analysis impossible. Three o'clock, I'm sorry,

Frank's eyebell will do it. But other than Saint X, that doesn't count.
Well. We came and runner up in lacrosse over the weekend. Dublin
Jerome or whatever their names are. I don't care they they defeated the Bombers
by two. We don't like them. What about what about a big sport
like volleyball or rugby? I'm about rugby about okay, when we're Mueller's state
titles, I got them right here. Eleven times in volleyball in the past,
sixteen football in three in a row in volleyball. He's gonna they're gonna
come for four next year. They're coming here in a year. They were
pretty good in the seventies and eighties. Since then they've had one or two.
So Stas has four since two thousand uh five. That's pretty good.
So kind of the modern air? Do mean the modern I mean the modern?
Ay, get down, modern er, give me the mode, but
breaking it the modern era right here, I got see this is the argument
everyone always uses against me. My talk about Notre Dame's eleven nash on channel
last, eighteen thirty two, eighteen thirty two, they cut all counts and
Dunn't newt rock was one was the last one, twenty seconds? One more
snap for guest, It was eighty nine. Let's he this automatically plays,
He takes a knee, he pumps his fest and the celebration began. When
you see Notre Dame Stadium, Dame opportunity sees as the Bearcats send the message
to the college football world. Did you see that sits it. How do
you wins a twenty four thirteen happening? Now that colum me and here goes
the final countdown. Marshal's thundering herd runs to midfield at Notre Dame and two
and one. Marshall twenty six, number eight Notre Dame, twenty one.
Let's repeat that time twenty six to twenty one. Marshall wins it at Notre
Dame. What is Marcus Freeman say about that? I know, like our
squad this year? Might they win six games? Or Sam Hartman transfer quarterback
from Wake Force? Kind of about thirteen thousand career college pass yards. Now
that the PGA Tourists merged with Live which is impossible, could the GCL merge
with the Cincinnati Hills League and form a super league? What about the GMC?
Yeah? Yeah, super League? Cole Raine is no good anymore?
How about this out of Westchester Township, I'm looking at Twitter, A large
inflatable pig, probably around twelve to fifteen feet high, escaped from the VA
Museum there and it was on Tylersville Road, creating a hazard. Che No,
it was an inflatable giant pie. Again, so the flying pigs aren't
just running twenty six point two miles in the first Sunday in May Sean Elliott,
Vegas loose. Well they I think they've they've secured it. But it
was rolling on It's Tyler's Ville Road, creating a traffic as it Well right
there now, that doesn't get any better. Anything else happened, I don't
know, but I just know that sand Ax has fallen mightily of late finishing
second and volley About the park? Who won a stay tight on football twenty
That was like a couple of years ago during COVID, all the hurdles and
nobody played. Everybody played. We were just able to overcome things. And
the other team, you know what, He's not gonna come in here anymore.
Two thirty. If I want to see Carsons, I want to see
Drew Evans in here. That's what I want to see coming. Bring the
racket with them, bring the rackets or bringing the hardware, bringing it all.
What about Cole Rane, When are they gonna come in with their state
titles? I don't know. We'll see. In other words, no any
tumbled? What about the park? What do you have been talking on twenty
seventeen? Oh well, good, well, cor Rane swim team. Say,
what can you tell us about them? Side bell? Give them a
pool. I think they swim up there on the y mc heye on pool
run. I don't know. The smaller high school have yet swimming pull on
the on the roof. They have a swimming pool up there. How come
I have a football field? You ever ask from that? That's a sense
of story subject. I said it. I said it. It needed to
be said. If you're at first, it needed to be said, you
gotta have a football field all you hoy toya is up around and there went
to night's getting my house? Ye? Yeah, too much light? Too
much light? And which line too much light comes in? Well, it's
amazing what Mueller's accomplished without football fields. I mean, I don't think any
any high school anywhere don't have a football field. They gotta go to lock
Lackland to play, right, I don't know where the hell they're playing they
played Lackland, I think, I don't know. I don't know. Nobody
knows. So if they back in the good old days when Muller was formed,
like in the early nineteen sixties, somebody's would have said, right there,
let's buy fifteen acres. We're gonna have a football field. Back then,
probably fifteen acres was like you knows, too expensive? Thank you.
Yeah, that's what happened because you know, in the good old days when
Carl Linder bought the Kenwood Town Center when men were men, it was a
one level strip center when nothing and you could have bought land around here for
imagine nothing. Now not even Mueller can afford a football field. So we'll
see what happens. I'm gonna do something with Deer Park swimming to come at
Saint X. I'm gonna want to. I'm gonna tell me years a few
decades behind. Come on, is one good swimmer, that's all. You
might have to reach outside the area, but you've done that before. So
whoa anymore sports saying Willie, let's see Ellie day La Cruise is up and
now the Reds and Dodgers tonight at six ten with sports talking to U crate
insight pitch. You mean San X doesn't reach outside? Get used to about
kids from Illinois coming to cove Can. That's Joe Frederick quarterfinals of the US
Open. Pittsburgh Riverhounds FC in town to battle our men and an Orange and
Blue FC Cincinnatis six thirty on ESPN fifteen thirty a PGA tour and live golf.
About this, I gotta be a text hold on it from home from
Wayne Carucci. He's got the stadium. He's gonna fund the Roger Bacon swim
team to go at Saint X. I said, wait, will you play
everyone? That's what I want to know. We'll say X, play him,
Yeah, swim with him, swim a little bit, sure, Get,
we'll swim against get Riley Gaines. What if some woman identifies as a
boy and goes to Saint X. I can't wait to the day when you,
I, or say or one of us are on air and that happens.
I may go to Mountain Notre Dame and claim I'm a five foot eleven
inch female Chinese basketball player and I want to play basketball. It didn't the
women's national soccer team just scrimmage some country like the twelve some like the fourth
ranked, your rated men's league champions, and they I'm twelve nothing, twelve
twelve SI. But I'm going to identify as a seven foot tall Chinese transsexual
at some point and demand to be recognized, and will you pay me a
such. Yeah, I'm a I'm Chinese, Okay, I can identify.
I think that there's what there's like four hundred and fifty NBA players, right
if you're like the four hundred and fifty first and you're making you know,
a few bucks playing in Europe or something, joining a w NBA which is
funded by the NBA. I'm waiting for the LPG Britney grinder to do that.
The some men's college golfer is gonna say. You know what it comes
down to, like, hey, I got to make a living, you
know what I mean? Prior to us something female. I gotta make a
living on this. I've dedicated my life to it and what I'm doing,
that's what I'm doing. I'm a female. Just make sure you play into
my stupid don't happen? Well, you accept me as being stupid, then
I do it every day. Say anything else in sports? Set a mouthful
there? What's on the big show today? Nothing else? You and Eddie

right. Plus we have the Muller High School right there if you want to
take this with you. The boys volleyball team eleven. Congratulate them, lee
Meyer Sport. Actually I enjoy that, so good for them. Good luck

playing short that we don't know yet. I want to know. The lineup
has not been released since Ella's hard. He don't come out and one veil
it on the Eddie veil you know. I call it the Rocky and Eddie
Show, and Seg wants to give you top builders call it the Afternoon Show.

gets more respect. And I thought, what sex says behind you on your
back, say get me out of the super Eddie and Rocky Show. Well

out, loops one out in his center oncoming new ball. Can't get to
that as a play on one bounced, La Cruise racing for third throw there
is not at time, and Karnassian Strand heads up base running, goes to
second, and now Dela Cruise taking off the point the d turn around and
said it safely. Oh my, the bats lead one nothing. Nobody else
in baseball is doing that. Write that down second playing third, Dela Cruise,
who's playing short, Probably Matt McClean who's playing second, Jonathan India who's
playing first, Vatto Bencher Steer a vatdos in Louisville who's pitching amm it No,

has been a community staple. Nellison's twenty oh seven focus on its mission to
transform the state of cancer care right here in the Tri State. Everyone is
the Weekend of cycling, entertainment and volunteerism September sixteenth and seven. Every dollar
raised by the writers go direct to ATROD Cancer Research and Care, and is
unacceptable, says John Barrett, that we remain the largest eligible city in America
without a National Cancer Institute designated center, forcing many of our loved ones to
seek cancer life saving treatment elsewhere. One of every two men and one of
every three women at some point will be diagnosed with cancer. This is a
crucial time in the fight against that terrible disease, and Western and Southern remains
involved in many events like Right Cincinnati that rallied the support and raised the money
necessary to improve cancer outcomes right here in our hometown. This September, our
iHeartRadio Music Festival is coming back to Las Vegas.
