1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.160
Ugger with the Cubs, then back
home again. The Red Legs are twenty

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:10.039
seven and nine against all teams but
Milwaukee over the past six weeks. So

3
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.960
they can't beat Milwaukee, but they
beat everybody else. That's a different story.

4
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:19.839
So let's continue on April the fourteenth
of this year at Ohio Northern University,

5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.839
the home of Mike Allen near and
around eight to a disgusting event took

6
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.760
place. And I've had on Professor
Scott Gerber a couple of times since then

7
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.119
with an update. And now the
judge has gotten involved in the case.

8
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.799
And first of all, professor,
should I call you professor? Are you

9
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:42.399
Scott Bill? Because not a professor
anymore? Well, I still they haven't

10
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.280
quite fired me. They're working hard
to do it, but they haven't quite

11
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.600
succeeded yet. All right, to
give the American people a synopsis of what

12
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:55.840
happened in April the fourteenth, caused
by Ohio Northern University president and others,

13
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.039
the dean, then we'll talk about
the update that happened a couple of days

14
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.879
ago. Give us a full report. On April fourteenth, I was teaching

15
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:11.280
my constitutional law class. We were
wrapping up just before one o'clock and campus

16
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.439
security entered the classroom with my students
present. Came down to the front,

17
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:23.560
and one of the sergeants whispered into
my ear something to the effect of your

18
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.760
respected member of the community, please
follow us quietly to the Dean's office.

19
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.879
And so I was, of course
shocked and confused and scared. I looked

20
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.599
into the classroom and my students seemed
confused and scared also. I then had

21
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.840
to do a purp walk through the
stairs, and at the top of the

22
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:51.480
stairs, armed eight to town police
were waiting, and so I was escorted

23
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:57.120
to the dean's suite by campus security
and armed town police. When I got

24
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.840
into the dean's suite, the dean's
office is in there. The town police

25
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.920
regarding the exits to the dean suite, so I couldn't get out, and

26
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.759
the dean handed me a two page
piece of paper that said that unless I

27
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:16.280
resigned in a week, he's going
to institute dismissal proceedings against me. And

28
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.400
I have tenure. And I asked
him what I'm accused of doing, and

29
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.319
he wouldn't tell me. I recorded
the meeting, as I'm allowed to by

30
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.599
law, but he also knew I
was doing it, and so I asked

31
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.159
him repeatedly what am I accused of
doing? He wouldn't tell me, and

32
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.960
so on the form the only thing
he said was insufficient collegiality, which doesn't

33
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.919
mean anything, and it's also not
a grounds for a termination under the faculty

34
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.520
handbook. I was then immediately banished
from campus and I've not been allowed to

35
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.120
set foot on campus since then,
and so that's basically it. And then

36
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.840
the University of the University's president,
on June twenty eighth, at ten twenty

37
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.080
six at night, when I was
asleep, emailed me the charges for dismissal,

38
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.039
and she gave me five or so
business days to prepare for my dismissal

39
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.960
hearing. And I have no idea, had no idea what I was accused

40
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.599
of doing wrong. It was just
full of generic and conclusory assertions like,

41
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.680
you know, he's a bad guy
kind of stuff, But no, you

42
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.479
know who was I a bad person
too? You know? What did I

43
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.400
do? When did I do it? That kind of thing. And so

44
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:38.120
my my lawyers asked them, the
dismissal committee, to give us enough time

45
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.319
to prepare. They refused, We
asked. They then said the president had

46
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.800
to do it. So we asked
her and she didn't respond, and so

47
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.639
I hired outside counsel to try to
help me, and outside council file the

48
00:03:53.759 --> 00:04:00.599
tro O in Hardin County on June
thirtieth, and on July sixth, the

49
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:06.159
judge issued a temporary restraining order,
saying it's ridiculous to think I could prepare

50
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:12.560
for something this important in five or
six business days because he knew my entire

51
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.199
career and reputation was at stake.
Now hold on, I must say on

52
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:19.560
this point, I want to tell
the American people that you're in your sixties,

53
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:28.160
that you've been at O NU for
more than twenty years teaching it's iranic

54
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.160
constitutional law, and that you had
recently had calls to be published. You're

55
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:39.759
one of the most published constitutional law
professors in Ohio with books and pamphlets and

56
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:45.040
articles. But you had recently caused
something to be published picked up by Hill

57
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:51.240
dot Com that went to the Wall
Street Journal about diversity needed to include viewpoint

58
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:57.000
diversity and kind of fill in the
blanks on that one, which I think

59
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.759
is the real reason. When someone
is perp walk like that, I'd have

60
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.319
to think maybe you held up a
bank. Maybe you're an arsonist, Maybe

61
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:09.759
you had a couple multiple DUIs.
Maybe you left the scene of an accident.

62
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.240
In other words, you committed some
criminal act, all of which did

63
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.639
not occur. But tell about the
tell Us about the article in the Hill

64
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:24.920
dot com? Yeah, so um. The Wall Street Journal contacted me because

65
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.040
they had heard about what happened on
April fourteen, and they asked if i'd

66
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.240
submit an op ed about it,
and so I did, and so in

67
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:36.199
the piece, you know, I
had to make quote educated guesses about why

68
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.480
they were doing this because they refused
to tell me. And the Monday before

69
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.680
I was escorted out by campus security
and armed police, I had published an

70
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:53.839
op ed in The Hill saying that
Justice Clarence Thomas was entitled to have friends,

71
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:58.839
including a rich friend like mister Harland
Crowell and I and I said that,

72
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.839
you know, he, you know, I'm allowed to have friends.

73
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.839
You're allowed to have friends, Bill, were all allowed to have friends,

74
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:10.839
and so people should just drop that
nonsense and so. And then the week

75
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:18.519
before that I had published, I
had done a TV interview saying that the

76
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:26.600
Senate Bill eighty three about the anti
woke stuff in Ohio colleges and universities was

77
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.959
making some really good points, including
for me, just reminding colleges and universities

78
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:38.639
that they cannot hire people on the
basis of skin color, for example,

79
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.160
which they do all the time.
And so the week before that, I

80
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.399
had written two op eds on that
same point, which is why I got

81
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.399
the TV interview, one of which
was in your Cincinnati newspaper, another of

82
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:55.800
which was in the Washington Examiner.
And so, you know, I was

83
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.959
an O and U was big on
DEI. The prior president established a commission

84
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.000
and you know, said all kinds
of things in there, like, you

85
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:14.079
know, we know that quotas are
probably illegal, probably bill probably stuff like

86
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.079
that. You know, we know
we can't do X, but let's let's

87
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.800
try it anyway, that kind of
stuff. And so I objected to that,

88
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.680
you know, to the president,
I said, you cannot do this.

89
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.000
It's illegal. And I did it
multiple times. And I thought,

90
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:33.680
because it's literally legally protected activity to
oppose what, in good faith I believe

91
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.240
is illegal hiring practices, and because, as you kindly mentioned, my record,

92
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.800
my professional record is so strong,
I thought, plus having tenure,

93
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.720
I would be safe. But I
was not. So for those who think

94
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:55.879
D EI and the cancerous illegal cells
it throws off only applies to Stanford College

95
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:01.000
of Law or New York University or
Ohio State Universe College of Law. It

96
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:07.279
applies to o NU in Ada,
Ohio. D EI has infiltrated every aspect.

97
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.360
In fact, I have an article
in newsmax dot com I could share

98
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.000
with you that said that there's a
large group of law school professors. These

99
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:22.600
are not engineering professors or history professors, but these are law school professors who

100
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:28.920
say that we must stand up and
oppose the US Supreme Court ruling on affirmative

101
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:35.440
action as racism and illegal. We
have to violate the law in order to

102
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.840
keep our props with the left wing
crowd. So you have law school professors,

103
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:46.200
heads of universities and others, deans
of law schools saying we will not

104
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.039
follow the law. Isn't that isn't
that rich? That is unbelievable. No,

105
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.240
I agree with you, and you
know, and they're the ones violate

106
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.639
in the law, not me,
and you know. Just coincidentally, the

107
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:05.200
judge judge on July twenty fourth,
literally ordered the university to finally tell me

108
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.679
what I'm accused of doing wrong.
They refused to do it. This started

109
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:15.039
in January, Bill when HR reached
out to me and I you know,

110
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:20.120
and and I said, well why
you know? And so literally fifty times

111
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.360
me, my lawyers, professional groups, the media like yourself have been trying

112
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.279
to find out what I've been accused
of. And the judge finally said,

113
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.320
you must tell him. This is
an order by this court. You must

114
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.200
tell him. And they still haven't
done it. Can I tell you why?

115
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:43.039
Can I tell you why? Because
the reason there they perp walked you

116
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:48.440
in a public way does send a
clear message to anyone who would think like

117
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:54.200
you. It is because the reason
they fired you is illegal, and they

118
00:09:54.279 --> 00:10:01.240
can't admit that they commit racism and
O and you and you're a white guy,

119
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.879
they can't admit that the real reason
they let you go is because you

120
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:13.440
had the temerity to say that affirmative
action and racism routinely practice on college campuses

121
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.679
is immoral, illegal and after the
userprene court decision of about a month ago,

122
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.639
they can't admit to an illegality.
That's the reason, correct. And

123
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:28.919
one of the documents they finally produced
says that I should be terminated because I

124
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:37.000
opposed illegal hiring practices, say that
again. One of the documents that they

125
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.799
produced literally says that one of the
reasons I should be fired was because I

126
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:48.080
objected to illegal hiring practices. I
think about that statement. They put that

127
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.679
in writing. It's your listeners could
go to the docket and read it.

128
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:01.360
This guy is being fired because he
opposed illegalities. And you're a constitutional law

129
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:07.720
professor, and you you opposed illegals, what illegal illegal doctrines when it comes

130
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:13.480
to ray, Yeah, professor,
we're in trouble. We're in trouble.

131
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:20.440
I think it's it's noteworthy you got
the guts and the coyonis to actually stand

132
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.600
up and oppose this. And so
at the end of the day July twenty

133
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:31.000
fourth, they finally said, we're
firing this guy because he opposes illegal behavior.

134
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.200
What what you have to am,
I you're kind of dumbfounded. Does

135
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:43.679
this mean you automatically win at this
point? Well, I could internally.

136
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:50.759
I could be Jesus Christ and lose
internally because the hearing committee is so stacked

137
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.399
with conflicts of interest, and as
you know, Jesus Christ lost his trial

138
00:11:54.519 --> 00:12:01.799
also. But externally, you know, I think I'll win breach a contract,

139
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.879
defamation, things like that. But
the judge. You know, he

140
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.240
is trying to make sure that I
have a fair process, but they're not

141
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.720
complying with this court order. In
fact, just before you called me,

142
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.279
we filed an affidavid from the lawyer
representing me during the dismissal process, who

143
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.279
said that O and you is refusing
to do what the judge ordered them to

144
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.039
do on Monday, and that has
been more specific in terms of what I'm

145
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:37.519
alleged to have done, and also
discussed with my lawyer the procedures, and

146
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.639
they've done neither of those things.
And so that now will be before the

147
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.240
judge tomorrow, I'm told, and
we'll see what happens. All right,

148
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:52.879
Well, you got to give us
more updates because I have high regard.

149
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.960
You know, my wife spent an
appellate judge in the state of a higher

150
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.440
first District Court of Appeals for a
long time. I have great respect for

151
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:05.480
judges who deal with difficult issues.
But when you have a party who refuses

152
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.399
to follow the law and they admit
it in writing that we're letting Professor Scott

153
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:20.200
Gerber go because he opposes illegal behavior, we're in trouble. Lastly, what

154
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.039
is your website? You got to
go fund me page. How do people

155
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.320
like Tony Bender and others who may
want to contribute your defense fund can assist?

156
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.159
What is that? If you go
to Google and just type in Scott

157
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.679
Gerber Legal Fund, go fund me, it pops right up. So thank

158
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.840
you for asking people to do that. Bill Professor Mano, if I can

159
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.120
call you a professor, but Scott
Gerber, thank you and let us know

160
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.159
what happens in the future. And
I will continue as I promised you back

161
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.600
in April that I will continue to
follow this. Thank you, Bill,

162
00:13:52.759 --> 00:14:01.080
Thank you, all right, let's
continue. One has to say that Ohio

163
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:07.639
Northern University issues juris doctorate to Greece
and it's I've never been there, but

164
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.480
I'm sure it's a good place.
We're not talking about Harvard or Stamford or

165
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:22.600
Chicago, these big urban areas.
This is a farm community in central Ohio

166
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:31.080
in which the leaders of Ohio Northern
University will fire and law professor in constitutional

167
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:41.279
law because he does not support illegal
behavior. Let's continue Bill Cunningham with you

168
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.399
every day on news radio seven hundred
WW. People have always craved entertainment.

169
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:52.159
In ancient Crease, the aristocracy would
enjoy an evening of banquety, where scantily

170
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.799
clad maidens would perform live music and
read poetry as the invited guests gorge themselves

171
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.159
on the elaborate feast lead before that, the event would end once the belching

172
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:07.240
drowned out the muster. Today we
have something better, Eddy and Rocky.

173
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:13.360
They're very entertaining and louder than most
bodily noisy Eddy and Rocky this afternoon at

174
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.279
three on seven hundred WLDM the hot, humid summer months. Bacteria now
