My Billy cunning into Great America and welcome this flor is Thursday afternoon in the
Reds baseball off today they need to lick their wounds after the Pirates beat up
on them Pittsburgh, Are you kidding me? But in town is the Boston
Red Sox. Mostly I think the three games are sold out. But Dale
Donovan has his private box, and so if you know Dale Donovan, you
might be able to go in this private box and has some shrimp and meatballs.
But until then, Dale Donovan is an expert and all things automotive.
Would you agree no man knows more about automotive repair and cars in general than
Dale Donovan facility and pleasant Ridge and also one in Blue Ash. The headquarters
the World Headquarters is in pleasant Ridge. And Dale Donovan, welcome again to
the Bill Cunningham Show. And I want to pass by you four pieces of
information. Are you prepared? I'm prepared Number one? About two weeks ago,
Pete bodhage Edge, your good friend, Department of Transportation from South Bend,
Indiana, did a great job there being. The mayor said in CBS
Morning News that, when asked by Margaret Brennan, how come you promise five
hundred thousand charging stations by twenty thirty and each year you need about one hundred
thousand charging stations out a tune of thirty seven billion dollars, which is like
real money. And up to this point here we are in the middle of
twenty twenty four, three years later, and they have a total of six
seven I'm sorry, I missed it, seven charging stations and the whole country,
and most of those are inoperable because the copper is tolen. That's one
piece of information. Number two. I'm looking at a story from University of
Michigan, which is not exactly the hotbed of conservatism that says in the study
of the University of Michigan has shed light on a critical challenge facing the transition
to EVS, which is the inability of copper minding to keep pace with the
growing demand. This points out that between now and twenty fifty, which is
twenty six years away for those who did not go to Deer Park High School,
twenty six years, we have to build six new large copper minds every
year for the next twenty six years in order to meet the present demand.
And by the way, we're not building comper minds. We're eliminating copper minds.
We don't want them at all. Number three, a Ford dealer friend
of mine who must go nameless, shared with me an email sent by a
guy named Farley, who's the CEO of Ford. Those are the kind of
people you run a run around with at Mcinteewall country Club, and Farley runs
forward with an iron grip, and he announced on June nineteenth, which I
think was like yesterday, I regret to inform you that we are ending the
EV dealer program. It goes on to say that it isn't working. And
these dealers had to put up one point two million dollars each to be a
certified Ford EV dealer beginning three years ago when this came out, and most
of them put up the money because you got to redo all the electric you
got to get duke energy out there, got to do this. You have
all the different equipment, the machine tools, etc. For this influx of
hundreds of evs you were about to sell. This dealer told me we can't
give them away. It's like a George Strait song. We can't give it
away. And so we have the charging stations are collapsing copper minds, and
also the cobalt, the lithium comes out of Africa. They don't have the
ability to put in another hundreds and hundreds of new minds. That doesn't work
at all. Now Ford's pulling the plug. And lastly, Dale Donovan,
this column shall say this message from Farley to the Ford dealers in America said,
among other things, we also it appears we're going to lose one hundred
thousand dollars every time we sell an EV. We lose one hundred thousand well
in the first quarter of this year, which losses are going to be about
six billion dollars. I've lost as to Ford. And you think, okay,
they lost the money. No, they didn't. If you have another
Ford product, if you want to go there and get some repair done in
your car, you want some maintenance done. Whatever it is, they pass
on to everyone else who doesn't have an EV the cost of keeping the business
open. So can you smell when I'm cooking? You know what it's that?
Funds like everything's going perfectly smooth to me. Will what you what your
problem is? I mean, is this unbelievable. Don't worry. Don't worry.
Our government will take care of us. Our government will take care of
They've done such a good job with this whole problem. This is absolutely mind
boggling, isn't it. I was just talking to someone about this the other
day. It's like over there in Oakley, you know, people are waiting
in their cars, just sitting there, waiting in their cars so that they
can get to the you know, the four or the two or three four
chargers over there right now, you know, and there's there's there's a line
of people waiting. You know. It just doesn't make sense, man,
I mean, we were on the right track. I mean, these cars
are getting more energy efficient, you know, they're getting longer gas mileagists on
their cars, right yeah. And it's like, just like you said,
I mean, we live in a society right now where everything is instant,
right instant. Since when did all of these kids and people drive these electric
cars? Since when did they want to wait an hour to charge their vehicle?
And are those the Tesla charging stations that half of them don't work?
This is the government putting in five hundred thousand, they've put in seven This
is a Tesla a charging station, correct, Yeah? Yeah, So it's
you know, it's just it's mind boggling that they they even tried to force.
And that's what I gotta say, is they forced this whole issue on
America. I thought we were in America, where you know that would all
dictate itself. If you're like, okay, gas is outrageous, I don't
like it. I'm going to buy an electric car, not force it down
our throats. Well, we also have and these dealers are now suing Ford,
claiming they will coerce to spend all this money and they weren't supported.
Litigation is running supreme, which we like. So one dealer said, this
is part of this column from Bloomberg. What does the dealership do who decided
to participate on that list all of a sudden you're preferred and sudden unavailability of
its line's most popular model. So what they would do is say, if
you don't take fifty of these evs, we're not going to give you fifty
Ford Broncos, which are very popular, and said they were coerced into spending
all this money which would be recovered later from consumers. And the dealers are
now saying, wait a minute, you promises this, and you gave us
that, And that's on top of the lack of a charging station, and
on top of the unavailability of the electric on top of the brownouts and the
blackoutside opening because electric power grid is being stressed, especially this kind of weather,
and they can't afford And when you fill up your car. Tony Bender
has got one of those really expensive Tesla top of the line models, and
every time he fills it up, so to speak, with electricity, it
cost him money to do that. In other way, he just doesn't pull
up to the pump and he can't take a gallon of electricity with him in
case he runs out of gas somewhere in New Mexico. Can you smell what
I'm cooking? Absolutely? I mean you, I mean you know. Can
you imagine trying to drive to Florida? You know, I mean, I
get angry because I gotta pull over and get gas. I want to keep
going. But then if you gotta pull over and charge your EV vehicle trying
to go to Florida, it's just unbelievable. Think about this, Willie.
Think about all of the technicians out there that had to be trained on all
this electric vehicles, right, and so these guys are all being trained on
that, and then they're promised that they're gonna make a certain amount of money,
all right, because they're gonna be because it's a high skill. It's
not you know, that's not simple to work on electric vehicles. It's not
something simple. So these guys are gonna be paid more. So who do
you think is gonna pay for all this? WILLI? Who do you think
so that Ford Bronco that you just wanted to buy is not gonna cost you
a little bit more money because they're gonna have to put it under. If
Ford was smart, they would go ahead and start reimbursing some of the money
that they sent to these dealers and settle the lawsuit type thing. And you
know, Ford's gonna have to eat some of the money. But now we
know where it's gonna go. It's gonna go right to the consumer. Now,
Dale Donovan, you're at the lower end, shall we say, of
car repair? I've used to many times for collisions, changing the oil break
pads, et cetera. What happens when you're in Dale Donovan, and you're
in pleasant Ridge or Blue Ash and incomes a three year old tesla and it
needs to be completely redone When you look at that thing, what issues arise
that would not arise if it was a Ford Bronco. So so Tesla first
of all, will not let you have to take that back to Tesla for
a battery. They don't let you, you know, get into those batteries.
I'm sure there's some places out there that might be SERTI that they can
do it. You know, here's the here's the one. Really is the
it's the inexpensive you know hybrid that you are. I'm sorry ev that you
buy. I don't want to mention brand names because I'll get in trouble.
But you know, let's just go an inexpensive one. Okay, it's three
years old and the battery goes bad, you might as well just throw that
car away. Why because it's too expensive to replace the battery on that car.
Okay, it will, it will increase. It would be above the
value of the vehicle in most cases. Okay. And not to mention the
core and not to mention I mean, just like you said, who were
we paying for all these electric vehicles? Right? We don't do any of
this in the United States of America. We don't do anything on batteries,
right, Oh, we want to build battery plants, right, aren't we
still aren't we building battery plants? Where are we getting all the raw materials?
It's not from here? No, do that as well? You know,
I say, you know, keep building the gas powered cars, keep
getting better fuel economy, and they keep getting better and better in fuel economy,
and let's let it nature take its course as far as the electric vehicles
go. Right, Tesla was on the you know, Tesla was the first
one coming out. They were doing a good job. They were happy with
how things were going. More and more people were buying it, and then
the other manufacturers got into it, and it's just so expensive and just like
you said, no one's buying the Fords. So Ford's like, we've had
enough. You know when we talked about it, I've talked about it.
So we're talking about the hydrogen cars. They do it only out in California,
and the hydrogen fuel cell. It's basically an electric motor and the hydrogen
fuel cell powers that electrical motor and that's how they run. And guess what.
To fill up the hydrogen takes five minutes, just like filling up a
normal gas tank. It doesn't take forty five minutes to an hour to do
that. What's your view? Tony Benner also bought one of these fancy Toyota
hybrids one of his second or third cars. How do you how do you
like a How do you like a hybrid? I love hybrids. I like
the hybrid. Becat the hybrid because you're still running on a gas motor and
then when they can they'll use the electric part of the motor. The battery
will take over, and so it saves you a little bit of gas.
But also you can drive a long distance okay, and you don't have to
and it self charges itself right regenitive charging. When you hit the brakes,
you're not actually hitting the brake pads, except when it gets down lower speeds
maybe twenty miles an hour, thirty miles an hour, that's when you're actually
breaking. If you're going fifty miles an hour and you hit the brakes,
it's actually a generator charging the battery backed up, so they self charge themselves.
You're not having to plug in and charge it up, so but in
you're saving some gas mileage. So when Tony bought this fancy Siena, this
Toyota Siana, that's a hybrid, he's getting like thirty six miles to a
gallon as opposed to a Ford Bronco that might be nice, eighteen miles of
the gallon. It's a heavier car and you get twice a mile inch.
So why wouldn't the government say it's a transition. Well, we got gasoling
powered cars which are getting more ecologically sound every year. They're getting better and
better and better and better. But however, we have to do something in
the marketplace to interfere with capitalism, So why not go to hybrids instead of
evs. Yes, it's exactly what they should do. And that's what's selling,
is the hybrids are actually selling. And you know, I've mentioned it
before, you know, like I don't want to mention brands, but I
got to mention it on this. I mean, Toyota makes the best hybrid
out there, all right, and it's a great vehicle. And that's what
should have happened naturally, is the hybrids would be more and more and then
if people wanted the electric cars, they could do it. It is we
ramp up the charging stations, we could possibly do it as well, right,
you know, But no, what happened is it was forced down our
throats. You know, really, you know, just you know, go
to every government agency that you want to try and see what happens. Right,
But it does not make sense because we're not in that inner circle of
our big government, because why did they force it down our throat because politically
it's nirvana. In other word, instead of upgrading the power grid, which
is very expensive, we're not upgrading the power grid, We're decimating it.
We used to have power grid coming on. We had coal, we had
oil, we had natural gas, we got solar, we got nuclear.
I'm a guy that says all of the above, whatever works, do it.
But instead of that, they're shutting down. Duke Energy will tell you
they have to shut down all of their coal fired power plants by twenty twenty
six. They're encouraged not even to use natural gas, which burns clean.
The reason the fuel the standards are so high right now and the environment so
clean is because of natural gas. And instead of upgrading it ahead of time
then bringing an online, they did the horrible thing in the beginning, and
then here we are in the middle of this thing and it's costing people billions
and billions of dollars unbelievable. Wait till you know, people are sitting at
home in this heat wave and all of a sudden they understand that, hey,
we're going to have a blackout. Oh how well is that gonna go
over? And also energy prices are skyrocket and goes to government intervention and they
won't stop, you know. And the other day the Pete Buddhajets actually said,
we continue on and the more electric vehicles we have, the more cost
effective it's going to be. Well, from January of twenty four, twenty
twenty four, through March of twenty twenty four, what two and a half
months ago, Ford lost one hundred thousand dollars and every vehicle they sold.
You know what I would do, quit selling our v's, quit selling evs,
quit selling the evs, and start selling the hybrids. But that doesn't
make any sense. It's still more expensive even if you have a combustion combustion
engine. You pay for this in the form of higher prices because they're shifting
to you the losses on the evs. That's what's going on. Well,
theal Donoman we got to go. So you're saying, if a Toyota Siena
high comes in, you can you can get that service. But but if
if a total ev comes in, you put your right hand your forehead and
said, mam and me, and what am I going to do if it
needs a battery? That's what you're doing, Mama, bea What am I
gonna do? Uh? Go online look at him. You can buy him
all day long. And uh, you know people are just really struggling having
a you know, trying to sell them after they've you know, have a
few miles on them. So really I appreciated my friend. You take care
and uh, I'll see you at mcateewak. Well I'm staying. You're out
there, you got a tea time at about one thirty you'll be out there
hitting the ball. I was there on Saturday and I kind of paid homage
to your statue twelve foot tall. It was like the Payne Stewart statue out
in front of Pinehurst number two. It was Dale Donovan bending over looking at
a three foot putt. You lipped out, kind of like Roy McElroy.
You know, we don't forget about Mark Sheer. Now, let's not forget
about him. I don't think he's important as you are. You got that
right. You know it's gonna be a gown of Donovan contract love. Plus
you got a good brother, and I'm Ian Platts. I like you.
I you know Ian's going to become I think the head pro there one day.
And that's what everyone at mcateewall says. You know, Ian's about the
best guy we gotten out in mcinteewall. And I like that guy a lot.
And next time you see him, would you tell Ian the great American
said hello. I will see him and I will tell him that. But
I'm telling you right now we got all the best bros. Our head pro
Dave bar is one of the best out there. He's pretty good. But
I Ian Pratts is about to take over, and I know you're grooming him
for greatness. And Dale Donovan, next time I'm out there, I'll pay
homage to your statue. You're the one ruining. Ian's a great guy.
They're all great guys, Chad, all of them so great. People are
really do appreciated. Will you have a great day to quit spending so much
money on cars too. He's got five or six of him. He's got
an ev vehicles, he has highbrids, he's got them all. He's got
a Stuts bear cat. He's very proud of from nineteen eighty six. That's
because you and I are the only ones that know wh stuts. Yeah,
so he's going to bring it in for service. He tells me. You'll
see him driving in there, so you know that stuff's bearcat. The dipstick
is gold twenty four carrots. He knows that, not the whole dipstick.
But I've been called a dipstick every now and then too. I'm kind of
like a dipstick myself. Take care back to work, Dale, Donnick could
have worked on those evs. Government intervention in the capitalism hardly ever works.
Bill Cunningham My comments next on news radio seven hundred, Wow, do you
an idea for an invention or new product and don't know what to do next?
Inventors, it's the music, Dave. Great to be with you.
This glorious Thursday afternoon heat is everywhere next week. I may have on an
ecological or weather experts to put this in perspective, because many times you're here
has not been this hot for the past thirty years. Most of the records
come from the nineteen thirties, which is what about ninety years ago. But
nonetheless, what we're seeing now is a typical of extreme weather that's happened over
millennia in the United States and elsewhere, but the media hypes it up as
if it's never happened before. The hottest temperatures were ninety years ago, and
there weren't a lot of cars on the road ninety or one hundred years ago.
But nonetheless, the facts, the truth will set you free. A
couple issues of percolating. I mentioned this with Dale Donovan, and that is
the government forces innovation and demands creation of brand new industries when the marketplace doesn't
support it. One of the classic comments of my good friend Clint Eastwood and
Josie Wales, one of my favorite movies. I saw it on cable the
other night when Josie Wales met ten Bears. He said, dying is easy,
living is hard, and that's where we are. Josie Wales is a
philosopher. Wonderful stuff. We have the government, Joe Biden and the Liberals
telling us we have to go to Eve's without the undersupport of the production of
electricity that makes it all possible. These special components in vehicles come ninety nine
percent from communists Red China. It's enriching them to the tune of literally billions
of dollars every year. This wasn't a case of American workers making these exotic
batteries. This was Beijing making the batteries and sending them here. Not satisfied
with that. As you know, as I speak, there's huge Chinese factories
being built in Northeast Mexico, so that instead of selling evs in about five
years for maybe thirty five thousand dollars each, which is a lot of money,
they can undercut that and sell them for twenty thousand dollars each. And
if Joe Biden is in the White House or god forbid, Kamala Harris.
Remember a vote for Joe Biden in November is a vote for Kamala Harris.
She will be the president within six months. The media, the left wing
Marxist liberal media, and the pocket for the Democrats will quickly turn their guns
on Joe Biden to get them out of office. They want Kamala h there,
believe it or not. And so the Chinese want to capture markets,
which they've done with steel in almost every industry in this country. What they
do is collapse the price of items in an industry, and American consumers run
toward that cheaper product, collapsing American jobs in this country, especially production and
factory work. It's gone and it's not coming back. We must fight like
warrior poets to stop this. And the madness is beyond it's unbelievable. You
heard some of the comments with Dale Donovan about Ford Motor Company collapsing and ending
its dealer demands on evs, because in the first three months of this year,
according to Bloomberg, Ford Motor Company lost one hundred thousand dollars every EV
they sold. And the government is bribing you to buy them, and you
still won't buy them because we know long term it doesn't work for American needs.
Down the road, God knows, we might have lithium, we could
have some hydrogen or something cold nuclear fusion, whatever it might be, but
government cannot demand there'll be scientific advancement at a certain timetable. But Marxist liberal
progressives think they can do that, and so about three and a half years
ago they said there's going to be five hundred thousand charging stations, the government
would support that. To date, there's been seven, not seventy thousand or
seven hundred or seventy, but seven ev charging stations put together by the US
government out of tune at a price of almost forty billion dollars, which is
gone. And half the time the charging stations of Tesla put everywhere don't work
anyway. So then we had the story about how many more of these exotic
minds that we need in order to supply the need. We need more copper
minds, need more cobalt mines, need more lithium mines, need more rape
minds, and no one's putting them together because it is too expensive in America.
You can't do it. It must be done in South America or in
Africa where little black boys and little brown boys and girls are killed because of
the demand of liberals that we have electric vehicles. It doesn't work. Hybrids
have been the answer for a long time, and maybe a hydrogen I don't
know. And then another story comes out about government intervention in the marketplace.
Narcissistic leftists are afraid Trump would treat them as they've been treated by him.
Goes on and on, and the latest FASCO is forty two billion dollars.
The government has spent the past three and a half years something called the bead
b like in boy Ea D the BEAD program, which is Broadband Equity Access
Deployment, which would bring high speed internet access to far flung parts of the
nation, including the nation's inner cities, and the cost of this problem has
been forty two billion dollars so far and deriving from the monstrous trillion dollar infrastructure
spending there was in twenty twenty one, which by the way, has caused
the rampant inflation. When you dump a couple extra trillion dollars in the marketplace,
it means there's more dollars chase chasing fewer products, which means inflation goes
up. But the BEAD program put together by Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer,
and Joe Biden, and as of now, according to according to the US
government, the Biden administration has spent forty two point four or five billion dollars
to deploy high speed internet access to millions and millions of Americans. So the
GOEO discovered that as of June fifteenth of this year, how many Americans have
been connected to the Internet because of the bad program? Come up with a
number, you know, when it comes to these charging stations, it is
seven out of five hundred thousand. Well, the answer is zero. Not
one person has been connected to the Internet because of the bad program that we've
spent forty two billion dollars. And according to the government, it is not
scheduled to start construction until twenty twenty five, not even beginning, and then
it'll double and triple in price by then. And among the problems is that
there's an inclusion that the federal government wants to regulate connectivity rates. But the
main factor, of course is equity. Much like the chip factories. Remember
the big Intel chip factory to be built in Ohio, for example, not
one span of dirt's been turned yet because of equity. In other words,
all the subcontractors to get a contract must submit to the federal government equity and
inclusion programs as to where the workers are coming from. Given access to course,
the Democratic voters, there's DEI provisions included in the hiring of workers and
lightly populated regions. That's very difficult to meet, if not impossible. The
climate has to also become unnecessary issue to be addressed in the application. So
the senators are getting involved and they want to get rid of these equity programs.
If you're in Marion, Ohio, you have a hard time finding forty
percent African American, thirty percent Hispanic, twenty percent transgender individual. Yes,
there's a transgender component on small employers to be part of this huge factory.
It's called federal Digital Equity programs. And I've had on a guest talking about
this before and it goes. So you put together the monies from Pete Buddha
Jet's federal EV power stations. Throw on top of that the equity provisions of
the Internet access close to one hundred billion dollars spent in the past three and
a half years with zero results. I'm sorry, other than this EV charging
stations, of which half don't work anyway, you can't make this up.
And so ultimately we Americans have got to take control of our government. One
might point out yesterday the Department of Treasury had another quarterly auction of our debt
and it is indicated by the Treasury Department and the fiscal year ends September thirtieth,
that we need to borrow an additional four hundred billion dollars for government programs
under Joe Biden just now coming into fruition after the two years of Nancy Pelosi
Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden that we need to borrow an additional four hundred billion
dollars, so the annual budget deficit this year the fiscal year will be about
two trillion dollars on top of the thirty five trillion we already have. And
they indicate in the next ten years, whether Republicans or Democrats are in charge,
that the thirty five trillion is going to become fifty three trillion dollars,
which is one point eight trillion dollars per year. We keep taking out new
credit cards to pay bills coming due now, hoping in the future that somehow
the economy is going to double in size, more tax revenues will be collected,
and life will be good. Beginning in the year take the year two
thousand until now. Every year we pay to the federal government in additional three
to five percent in real dollars every year out of taxes. But the government
is increasing government programs at the price of about one hundred about ten percent every
year. And whatever one party the other gets involved. The Republicans want to
spend money on the military, and the Democrats want to spend money on social
welfare spending, whether it was Bush or Trump, the deficit doubled during their
term. There may be a different and of course when Obama's in and Biden
is in, it doubles again. So now some are talking about a fiscal
crisis going to strike America. It's the most predictive catastrophe ever to happen in
this country, because the interest on the national debt right now is about one
trillion dollars a year, just the interest on the debt, which is more
than Social Security or the defense or Medicare, Medicaid one trillion in interest payments
the bondholders, of which I'm one of the small bondholders. I don't trust
the stock market. I don't mind getting a five percent return of my money.
Nonetheless, I regress. And so every one hundred days we need to
go out and borrow an additional one trillion dollars and put that money on top
of the thirty five trillion soon to become fifty three trillion dollars. And ten
years, whether Democrats get in, our Republicans get in, we're heading toward
a Argentina style debt crisis that will devalue all the dollars we have in our
pockets. Anyway, will crash, the American economy will look like the Great
Depression, and some will be selling apples on the street corner. Now,
who's talking. How about someone saying, we can't afford this. We can't
afford equity programs and the so called Band Act. We can't afford government sponsored
ev power stations that don't work. We need to upgrade our power grids significantly.
When you talk to Duke Energy, every year for the last four or
five years and going forward, they produce about five percent less energy because they
can't use coal, natural gas is out, nuclear is can't build them,
and we got wind and solar, I'm all the above. So every year
we produce less and less and less energy. It's too expensive, and every
year we have more and more demand these data centers and the immigration problem means
every year we got to produce ten percent more electricity every year for the next
ten years. Instead of that, we're producing less every year. That's why
we have brown out some can you smell when I'm cooking, my fellow Americans?
We have major problems that we don't talk about, don't want to resolve.
If Trump wins, he's going to spend more money. If Biden,
or shall I say, Kamala Harris wins, She's going to spend a lot
more money and you're gonna have to pay the bill. Now, let's continue.
What about real estate taxes? What about insurance costs? What about inflation?
What about gasoline? What about food? What about public education? What
about medical bills? Any of that going down? Absolutely not. It's all
about equity and fairness. You understand that. Spend more money and pass off
the responsibility to pay to Americans, even unborn waiting for a dead crisis of
incredible proportions in this country. Let's continue. Coming up next is Todd mcgah
murtrie. He has written a book, Northern Kentucky Attorney about what's happening in
the land of defamation lawsuits. Todd McMurtry going to talk about his new book,
Dismissed and more at Trump of the Reds off today, Thank God,
back out of tomorrow. They'll beat the good teams. They have a winning
record against the Dodgers, winning a record against the Phills, and likely they're
going to sweep Boston, but they can't beat Pittsburgh. On news radio seven
hundred wlw our Higheart Radio Music festival. Go cunning in the Great American Reds
Baseball off today? Have he scored a total I think the total of four
runs in Pittsburgh? They were awful off today. Back out of this weekend
Boston Red Sox in town Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, all the games
I think were sold out for the Red Sox are in town. They just
beat up on the Yankees and see, we'll see where it goes from here.
So until then, Todd McMurtry is a great attorney in northern Kentucky taking
on many cases, and he's got a book out. He has time to
write a book called Dismissed, The Impact of canceled culture and biased Narratives on
Justice. And Todd McMurtry welcome, I think for the first or second time,
to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, Todd, this
is an overview as a practitioner. Have you noticed the efforts of the mainstream
media to make delegitimate the activities of the US Supreme Court. They have decisions
coming out today, in fact almost every day between now and and the next
week, they're going to be more decisions. But as long as the court
rules and ways the mainstream media doesn't like, then they're not legitimate. Have
you noticed that? Absolutely, Bill, It's NonStop. I mean, everything
that you see coming out of the media with regard to the Supreme Court is
he either an attack on a justice or having some conflict of interest which the
justice clearly does not have, or complaining about the conservative makeup of the court
and trying to use that as a basis to say it's decisions or are illegitimate.
I'm with you on that and the other thing. For thirty years or
so, the left wing liberals controlled the Court from like the late nineteen fifties
until the nineteen nineties, and the media at that point, we're cheerleaders.
They put on their skirch and their pom poms. What a great job they're
doing. But when the court rules unlike what the media desires, and all
of a sudden, they're bought and paid for. In some of the language
used by the left, and that's the left that concerns itself with the tax
on democracy. You can't attack the institutions. Somehow, the institutions of this
country are being attacked by Donald Trump, but in reality, the media are
the ones attacking the institutions. Of the US Supreme Court, but tell the
American people the book is out dismissed. It talks about an eye opening analysis
of how the court system has been co opted by special interest, ultimately failing
to uphold his study to the people. Explain the reason for the book,
Well, I wrote the book because after working on the Nick Sandmon case and
many other cases that I've had all across the country, I realize that people
really need to understand the root cause of cancel culture. And the root cause
of cancel culture is the existing laws regarding defamation, some laws that protect social
media platforms, and a politicized judiciary. And I talk about all that in
the book and give people of real life examples of how to identify these problems
and respond to them if they were to ever arise in their lives. Two
years ago, Nick Salmon was simply a college kid. I took the trip.
I've been there a couple of times as a tourist, walking around the
ellipse and looking at the statues and looking at the monuments, and looking in
front of Abraham Lincoln, the Gettysburg addresses up there. One of the greatest
things ever ever penned was his second inaugural address just before he was murdered,
And nonetheless, Nick Salmon was simply a sixteen or seventeen year old kid that
wore a Donald Trump hat make America Great Again, along with other CUV cath
kids, And all he did was stare at an endto the eyes of a
protester, who, of course was a Vietnam War hero, who shall we
say, was a left wing social activist, and the media quickly immediately attacked
Catholicism, Trump Nick Salmon and became the tennis ball back and forth in that
case. How does that case kind of represent what you're saying, Well,
it's exactly on point, because you know, in the book, I talk
a lot about other circumstances where people have suffered a similar fate. You know,
you heard about Nick Salmon because it was national news, But this happens
to people all across the country every day. And once I started getting involved
in this area, I saw how pervasive this problem was, and I thought
that people needed to understand exactly how the law allowed this to happen, how
the media perpetuated it, how politicized courts allowed it to happen. And you
know, because it's a bad situation and it plays out every day all across
the country. How's Nick Sandmond doing today? Has he survived this? He
has survived. He is doing well. He's out of college. He went
to translating a university and he's graduated just recently, and I think he's headed
to Washington, d C. To get involved in politics. Certainly. Yeah,
he knows what to do. I mean, he's been through the whole
thing and he's a tough guy now, so he can handle Washington, d
C. What are some of the special interests that have infected the judiciary?
Some of the special interests that have given the judiciary is such a bad name.
And they're friends in the media play it right into it constantly, they're
like fellow travelers. What are some named some of the special interests. Well,
the main thing that I talk about in the book is the idea that
because especially with federal judges, they're appointed, right, so when they're appointed,
they're they're appointed by Republicans or they're appointed by Democrats, and each side
has its own special interest. You know, the American Constitution Society talks about
our defective constitution that needs to be fixed, and that's on the progressive left.
And then on the conservative side you've got the federalist society that wants to
uphold the constitution. So and then at the state level, you have a
lot of money going into elections. And when people put a lot of money
in a camp in a campaign for judge on the Supreme Court of some state,
they're generally hopeful that that judge is going to be, you know,
to the left or to the right. So those are the special interests that
I identify the book. One of the things happening today in America, whether
it's Northern Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, is that there's rampant increases in the
costs for insurance, complex allegations against banks managing multi million dollar failures of insurance
funds and winning a medical practice jury case. Does the little guys? Does
Tony Bender? The little guy have a chance when it goes up against insurance
companies, multinational companies and large banks. Do the Tony Benders of Boone County
Standard Shot Bill? You know, I litigate against big giant law firms all
across the country, and it's a big fight. You know, a little
firm like mine and have to be a scrapper and innovative, and these big
firms come at you with all the resources. So yes, they're definitely outgunned.
That people do have a chance that they can get in the right court,
get a sympathetic judge, get in an area where the jury understands their
plight. Because as you still can. David can still fight alive in this
world. But often you have to have huge resources to do it, and
many people, of course, the little guy gets hammered by the great companies
to tech and you have to kind of fight. But on the other hand,
you have to have somebody willing to do it, and most of us
can't afford a multi million dollar fund in order to go after institutions in this
country that have failed, and that's another problem. And so you talk about
an eye opening analysis of how the system has been co opted ultimately failing to
uphold us duty. One of the things I noticed is that a CNN reporter
with an Irish accent I went to a mega rally I might have been in
New Jersey in Nevada and talked about a republic that somehow that they talked about
the republic for which it stands, which is in the Pledge of allegiance and
not a democracy. And this reporter working for CNN with the Irish Brogue was
mocking MEGA members and Trump supporters because they talked about us being a republic.
The American people the difference between a republic and a democracy. Sure, republic
has representatives that are elected to serve in Congress or to serve in the Senate,
and they elect as representatives to run the country. I think a democracy
implies more of a direct election of you know, of people to all forms
of government. So it's you know, that's the way I would see.
It's representative government versus purely direct elections in every circumstance. So America is not
a democracy because if the people through initiative a referend I wanted to say,
okay, the freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion,
freedom of assembly, that doesn't make any sense because the speech being used,
we don't like, the assembly is not really worthwhile. We want to
put on the ballot whether or not you have the practice of your religion,
whether that's legitimate or not. Other countries can simply say, because rights come
from government, you know what we need to put on the ballot or have
the Prime Minister say people don't have the right freedom of speech. It doesn't
work in America that way because we're not a democracy. We don't directly vote
on the rules and regulations that govern us. We elect individuals who go in
and they vote on our behalf and so in each individual can bring down the
system. Explain one or two cases where a small schlep just so work and
stiff brought down the whole system or change things. Because we're not a democracy,
where a republic we have individual rights guaranteed this by the Bill of Rights
as persons. What's an example of that, an example of an individual who
could take on the entire government. Well, I think you look at these
big cases. I mean look at the I talk about these landmark decisions in
my book that you know, really change the fate of society. And you
know, you've had all different types of circumstances. Whether it's people supporting same
sex marriage, those individuals may changes in the law, whether you have people
that oppose you know, federalized abortion, those people may changes in the law.
And so periodically you're able to get a landmark decision where one person can
make a major change in the law. But as you said, in most
circumstances, you know these things, these laws are decided by our elected representatives,
not saying in California where they have ballot initiatives and stuff like that,
which would be a little more on the democracy side. So I think true
courts, and that's what I talk about in the book. I say,
I wish that the courts had allowed Nick Sanmon his day in court, because
that would have been a circumstance where he could have changed the law, made
a big difference and had a profound effect on society by sending a really strong
message you cannot get away with trashing innocent people's reputations the way they did to
him. And of course we've seen that in other circumstances too, and the
institutions that did it to him, or CNN, the mainstream media, NBC,
CBS, PBS, Big City News, they went after a high school
kid for having the coyones to simply stand in front of a Washington monument with
a red hat on, looking into the eyes of a protester Native American protester,
yelling and screaming at him. That's all he did. And he said,
wait a minute, even though I'm only seventeen. I got the right
to do this, and he did not do something that the media wanted him
to do which would have fit their purpose. And secondly, Todd McMurtry,
I would say, there was a guy in Cincinnati who said, you know
what, I ought to have the right to marry my significant other who was
another male, and that other male was in extreme condition in the hospital.
He wanted to visit his significant other, and the system said, you can't
do that until you're married. Said this one person. It wasn't the state
of Ohio, state of Kentucky, it wasn't the Federal Society, it wasn't
the ACLU. It was one person that said, wait a minute, I
want to change the law. And it took five to seven year, but
that one person changed the law by the time I got up to the Supremes.
Anthony Kennedy wrote the opinion that same sex marriage should be the law of
the land, and that one person stood up and he won. Isn't that
a good example? Well, it's an example that I talk about in my
book. I do say that we need people to stand up and we need
to push to change some of these laws that governed defamation, that make it
so easy for the courts to dismiss cases like Nick Salmon's. Nick deserved a
trial, he didn't get it. Other people in similar circumstances have their cases
dismissed by the judge's opinion instead of by the jury's opinion. So, yes,
what she said is a good example, and there's an opportunity for people
to stand up and make good examples in the area of defamation, cancel culture
and things like that. And that's what I talk about. Lastly, Todd
McMurtry. I wrote my jd. My doctoral dissertation in New York Times versus
Sullivan. How is that law? I think it was an act that in
nineteen sixty four the US Supreme Court said that who is a private person,
who's a public person whether you have actual malice? Explain how that defamation law
has changed from nineteen sixty four to twenty twenty four. What sixty years later.
Well, again, a lot of this is in the book, so
people who get it will be able to read about that. But the way
it's changed is New York Times versus Sullivan basically took defamation law away from the
states and made it a federal standard, made it the constitutional standard that had
never occurred before. It was a total break with the laws it existed before.
I think that's a bad break because it's created these circumstances where judges can
take the cases away from the jury. I don't think they could have done
that pre New York Times versus Sullivan. You've seen that New York Times Versus
Sullivan's standard expand. First it just related to government officials, and then it
relates to public figures, and then it relates to limited purpose public figures,
and now you have involuntary public figures. So anybody from the top the bottom
can almost be thrown under the bus of the actual Mausee standard created by New
York Times versus Sullivan. And so it has evolved and it has taken on
more weight as time has gone by. And that's one of the things I
say in the book. We need to have some changes to put more power
back in the hands of the juries and to protect innocent people like Nick Sanmon
and others who have also been subjected to this from the law and from politicized
courts. So that's the gist of the book right there. Well, Todd
McMurtry, it's a great book. Called it's only called dismissed. Do you
have any questions for me about sports, politics, world capitals, maybe the
rule in Shelley's case, the Reallygan's perpetuities, something that's confused you over the
years. No, No, I'm just prepared to talk about my book,
and I hope that the listeners will go out there. You can find it
on Amazon, you can find it on Google Play. You'll be able to
find it in Barnes and Noble, you know, audiobook, kindle, book,
hardcover. All you got to do is certain Todd McMurtry dismissed, and
you'll be able to find it in an area dominated by cancer, culture bias,
narratives, mainstream media bias, and corporate interest. The common citizen,
the schleps of our society find themselves silenced and penalized. And that's the way
it is. But Todd, you're out there tilting against those windmills. The
book is dismissed and it's everywhere. Todd McMurtry, once again, thank you
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And Todd, because you fight so
hard for average Americans, I'm going to make you the Bill Cunningham citizen of
the day and you're a great American, outstanding. Thank you, Bill,
I love it. God bless America. Let's continue with more if the line
becomes available. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven
thousand reds baseball off tonight. It takes one person standing up against the weight
of the federal government and say I object. And if you get a lawyer
like Todd to take your case and pursue it for years, that one person
can overturn the entire system if done correctly. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven

looking at a story here segment. I know you want to get onto your
die drive, But ESPN has a story up which is about the White Sox
and Andrew ben Attendee. Headline Andrew ben Attendee and the pursuit of the lowest
war ever wins above replacement, which many say is the real gage of how
good a player is. Benett Tendey has the opportunity of being the worst major
league player ever, but he also has seventy five million dollars, and he
also has a World centers. That's not bad. That is, that's not
bad, not bad, seventy five mil. But he's chasing way that hold

you got to take some blame for Coort. He's not a team that say
no, but I mean, you know, great, great him here.
Cut that salary down and let you play left field and hit all the home
runs he wants. At war will go up to the highest in the stock

of trade for ben Attende get him out of Chicago, which is a terrible
city. And the White Sox, they're a terrible team. In fact,
they're on pace to beat the sixty two Mets as the worst team. Ever,
how about that one? Well? And then and the Oakland A's are
probably loving life because they're not. They don't They don't stink either, right,

The Reds beat the good teams and lose to the bad teams. And Pittsburgh,
other than Schemes, is a bad team and they were non competitive in
Pittsburgh. If the past is a teacher of the future, the Reds do
well against good teams. They were winning record against the Dodgers and the Phillies.
The only team in the league they have that. So now they're playing
a good team, a good team that's hot, hot, hot hot,
so they should sweep their socks. Do you agree that is correct? Willy?
In the college world, Jerry's Tennessee and Texas A and M go for
the title at Omaha. Best three theory sticks off Saturday night, be acting
on Fox Sports thirteen sixty. How about this in college basketball, Willie,
The NCAA looks like they're moving a step closer now, According to Yahoo Sport,
to expanding the men's basketball tournament, officials have presented to the Division I
Conference commissioners at least two different models of an expanded field. One of them
would expand the field by four or eight teams. What do they have now?
Like sixty eight? Eight? Yeah, sixty eight? You know what
they ought to do? I say to this state of Indiana here in high
school basketball, just let everybody in. So what, well, everybody it
extended long like three? Why not? Well, because you want to take
a long time? What he would? So what we'll see what happened for
we're got to attending being the worst player in baseball history. And then how
about this, Well even got Detroit Pistons yesterday fired their head coach Monty Williams
after just one season. The Pistons owe him sixty five million dollars plus according
to ESPN free private airplanes. So I'm thinking, and Monty did not want
to come and coach the Pistons. Who would? First of all, living
Detroit's a problem to coach the Pistons is even worse. But he correct.
I think he's happy right now. I would say, so, he's won
the price is right showcase at seven million times over unbelievable. If he takes
that in like monthly payments, or does he take that all in just like
one big like check, well, the deal would allow him to pay it
out over the entire six years or whatever he would have made. However,
if he wants to coach again, he's still under contract to the Pistons,
and they could tell you. They could tell him no other words, you
can't. He's just gonna sit around and that's it. Well, you might.
On the other if he wants to coach maybe the Lakers. Then the
Lakers got to call the Pistons and say, okay, we want him to
coach. Release him, yeah, and uh, we work out a deal.
We got a deal deal. Maybe the guys are Republican. I doubt
that how many Republicans are there in Detroit. They've had such a great city
for so long. The Democratic part has done wonderful work in Detroit, so
great work. And so who knows. He can certainly lay back and enjoy
it and simply for the next five seven years do nothing and be rich,
or he can still keep coaching after Phoenix. Phoenix let him go. He
didn't want to didn't want to coach anymore. He wanted to take a year
off because of his wife's health, and that didn't work out. I don't
know, So I mean, what do you do? I mean, you
know, just take the dough and go home. Well, if somebody gave
you sixty five million dollars, what would you do? Pass out? Yeah,
and then what would you do? I'd pass out? I'd say,
you know what, I'd still work here. If if what you and I
do is work, I'd like to keep doing it. And I'm looking to
my left, seg man, there's the religious leader of Iran. This is
a religious man demanding the killing of Jews and the rape of Jewish women and
mutilation of babies of Jews. This is the religious leader of Iran saying that
Hans be Law may be ordered to attack Israel from the north, let Hamas
from the south and Iran from the east. And so this is a religious
leader demanding the killing of Jewish men, women and children. No, that's
part of the world. Will we will the love there will never be there.
No, if it ever runs, well, that'll be solved when the
sun begins rising in the west and sitting in the east. And correct.
I'll believe it when I see it. But I just hate the idea of
religious leaders demanding the killing of innocent people. And I would add segment that
in the Tri State there are great, great mosques in the Tri State where
the Muslims have nothing to do with crime, nothing to do with anything other
than family formation in business. This is a branch of Islam which is terribly
murderous, filled with rapists and thieves and torturers. And that's got nothing to
do with Muslims as its practice here in the Tri State. I wholeheartedly agree,
all right, once you get me out of the student's report coming up.
So we have state Representative Adam Matthews coming in and as you know there
are there are two Bernie's running for the state. Senden see. You got
Bernie Sanders. You got Bernie Sanders into town, and then you got Shared
Brown bringing in Bernie Sanders. Then you got Bernie Marino. So you got
Shared Brown who wants to bring in a non Democrat socialist which is Bernie Sanders,
to support his candidacy against Bernie Marino, who's a business leader who sold
his businesses and is now rich. Segment, Get me out of the Stude
Report, Willy and honor of a stay here in the Trent State and stay
hydrated out there, drank water, drink anything, Stay hidrated, stay inside
with temp starr and cool off at ACR pools. We leave you with the
immortal words of the Stude Report. I actually have found that I think men
are more likely to have bizarrely unrealistic expectations. I have so many girlfriends who
highly accomplished, highly educated, the great people and just wonderful women, and
the dating pool is absolutely brutal. What are these men looking for? It
is entirely unclear to me that It's like, why are there men not jumping
to want to date them? So well, Alicia, those are not bizarre
and unrealistic expectations, because reality is that ultimately men want to build a family,
okay, and most men don't want to be with an accomplished and educated
woman because those women are entitled, demanding, and a pain to deal with.
Even different studies will tell you that that's the case. So most of
your accomplished and educated friends are very likely to end up with a cat instead
of a family, just like whoopee. That's from the view. One other
factor it for you, seg Man. Eighty three percent of female Democratic voters
between the ages of eighteen and thirty five, eighty three percent do not want
to get married and have a family eighty three percent. On the other hand,
twenty five percent of Republican voters that are female don't want to have a
family. You're a female voting for Democrats during eighteen and thirty five. You
don't want to meet a guy, don't want to have a family life,
and don't want to have children. Now that's a problem segment. Will you
call back in forty five minutes, Yes, sir Willie, I need more
of an update from Bill Weber. A E Door sells the rest and services.
Shawts Say sells the best and services, the rest and the hole in
one his crew had out there in Rising Sun segment. Thank you very much.
Back to work. Let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham coming up next
to his representative Adam Matthews on the visit to Ohio of one Bernie Sanders,
the socialist on behalf of Shared Brown, who's been in office since Richard Nixon.
Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred wulw our Higheart Radio Music Festival by
Billy Cunningham, the great American as you may know, in Parma, Ohio,
which is in northeast Io. Bernie Sanders is appearing today at seven o'clock
at a rally in support of Bernie and the supportive Shared Brown. And one
might note that in nineteen seventy two, before many Americans were even born,
Shared Brown began in politics in nineteen seventy two, the same year that Joe
Biden began in politics. But he's in town. Birds of a feather flocked
together, And of course I don't think Shared Brown would ever say I'm a
socialist. But you don't bring a socialist to town to speak on your behalf
unless you're unless you are very similar joining you and I now is a state
Representative, Adam Matthews of Warren County, the fifty six House district, elected
by a wide margin. Head on David Young the other day talking about Warren
County, which is beautiful and State rep by Adam Matthews. Welcome again to
the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all State rep. Before we talk
about Bernie Sanders and Shared Brown and Bernie Marino, et cetera. They're both
named Bernie, but I think Marino is different than Sanders. But nonetheless,
what's the status of marijuana? Do you have any idea? Because I got
reports about what's happening in other parts of this great country of ours with the
Chinese militarists and the Mexican drug cartels because of weak state governments are dominating the
illegal market. And if you make the illegal price about the same as the
legal price, suddenly the legal prices collapse. Kind of give the American people
to overview what's happening with Pott in Columbus. We are making sure that Ohioans
are safe from the Mexican cartels or anyone else, and we were able to
put in some rules through our Joint Committee on Agency Rule review and move that
forward to make sure that we have the oversight here. And while the voters
allowed marijuana throughout the state, we want to make sure that they fulfill their
promise that they used on the campaign trail. They said, regulate this like
alcohol, and in the same way we make sure that alcohol is taxed,
would make sure that advertisements are not in front of kids, that communities are
able to regulate this like they have with liquor licenses. And in the state
House, I really think we're moving towards holding them to that promise of what
the voters voted for, but in the way that it was pitched to them,
Well, you keep the government price of pot about the same price as
illegal marijuana, because everyone using marijuana right now other than those with medicinal cards,
is using it illegally. In fact, in downtown Cincinnati, it doesn't
happen at the home of the Golden Lamb and Lebanon, I would think,
But in downtown Cincinnati or in Washington Park, is not unusual for large numbers
of human beings to walk around openly smoking pot and it's illegal. But the
CPD is told not to enforce the law, And so is there a thought
by you Grand poohbas in Columbus. We need to hold down the taxes so
we don't drive more people to the illegal market. We have to keep it
accessible for the average American. Really, the last time we had something that
was that a lot of people were using that was illegal that moved back into
the legal space was Music's sharing and suing. Napster did not get rid of
napster. Enforcing the law did not get rid of Napster. Spotify got rid
of napster. And making it legal and easy is how you pull back from
the illegal activities. And so we're making sure that we have that accessible because,
as you said, if you make it to the dark market, the
illegal market is still the easier way to go. We're going to continue perpetuating
bad habits that exist already. All right, let's move on to Bernie Sanders
and Bernie Marino. There is a difference. Bernie Sanders is a self professed
socialist who wants more taxes, who wants less, who wants more government jobs
and less private market jobs. He wants to grossly increase taxes. He wants
to increase federal spending every one hundred days. We borrow an additional one trillion
dollars that GAO said a couple days ago that we're going to have a fifty
three trillion dollar national debt in ten more years, which is completely unsustainable.
And so talk to me about the differences between Bernie Sanders and Bernie Marino.
Well, Bernie Moreno it's going to be the next senator for Ohio, and
Bernie Sanders is not. So that's one thing. I'm glad he's here and
working really hard. Bernie Sanders is so liberal he won't even call himself a
Democrat. He's that far left. And now Shared Brown's bringing him into Ohio
to pitch a radical minimum wage increase. Bernie Moreno's been a fantastic business man,
helped provide jobs, provide tax taxes to build this great country. And
Bernie Sanders has been in politics since before I've been alive and I'm here.
We've just celebrated bringing home our fifth little kid. So they could not be
any more different despite having the same first name. And we need to get
out there support Bernie Moreno and put Bernie Sanders around the neck of Shared Brown,
who tries to say that he's moderate or whatever, has an incredibly liberal
record. It is now having the avowed socialist independent because he's too far left
for the Democratic Party coming in to Parma, coming into Ohio to advocate for
him. Now, Shared Brown got into politics in nineteen seventy two, which
is during the administration of Richard Nixon. You know, I've been in talk
radio only for forty one years, which is longer I think you've been alive.
But that is corrected. It's a good Ohio with you on the airwaves.
Thank you. But looking at this, I can't imagine someone more out
of step with the politics of Ohio than Shared Brown. But you don't see
the guy for like five years out of six. In the sixth year when
he wants to run, suddenly he's doing things publicly. You would never see
the guy for the last five years. You couldn't find him with a search
warrant. Now that he's running for reasons unclear, Maney thought he would bag
it at this point because you know, he's on he's well past seventy years
old. So many thought, okay, that's it for Shared Brown. But
he was coerced to running again. So he's getting around doing what he's going
to do. And so give me some bio on Bernie Marino. The attack
ads run by Shared Brown seem to indicate that if you work for a living
and you start up businesses and you're successful selling cars in this case, and
then you sell out your businesses, I think he's rich guy like twenty million
dollars. That's Bernie Morino. He's rich, and at this point he wants
to get into politics because he cares about the direction of the country. It's
a negative to work for yourself, to start businesses, to employ hundreds of
people, then to sell your business and get into politics. He's coming to
politics horizontally, while Sharon Brown's been vertical since nineteen seventy two. Give me
one or two big differences between Bernie Sanders and Bernie Marino. Bernie Marino,
as you said, has built these companies, built these businesses. I'm up
in Warren County. I'm grateful to have the King's Automaw right in my district
and that helps literally keep Ohio rolling both by providing providing wheels for all of
us and great tax support. And Bernie Moreno has been one of a great
car dealer, building something out of nothing and then able to as he focuses
one hundred percent on serving Ohio, following in a lot of the ways in
the mold of JD. Vance, who had been very successful and then come
into politics as this outsider and really believing what Ohioans believe of a good hard
day's work of building your community, and Bernie Sanders, as a first generation
immigrant, is building that American dream. Bernie Sanders, on the other hand,
has I believe was coming up for mayor, has been an elected office
his entire life, has not really passed anything, even while he's in the
Senate, and is advocating now for a crazy minimum wag here in Ohio that's
even more extreme than what his own state of Vermont has, and is putting
his radical socialist fingers all over the country, Whereasni Bernie Moreno is really focused
on what the kitchen table and important virtuous issues are for Ohioans, and they
couldn't be more different. As far as the amendimum wage. Is that going
to be in the ballot of this November? Do you know there's enough signature
has been gotten to put that on the ballot? I now we are hoping
that there will not be enough signatures. But there the other side with the
out of state money and a lot of people coming in from organizations like Massachusetts
or this rally today with Bernie Sanders. They're trying to get it on the
ballot to help out Shared Brown. And what happened in California increasing the minimum
wage is that thousands of workers lost their jobs. We don't want that in
Ohio now. Lastly, State Representative Adam Matthews, when I watch the commercials
of Shared Brown, it appears he supports Donald Trump. I'm watching this going
on and outside of Ohio. He's a left ring radical senator who hates Donald
Trump. But in Ohio it appears Shared Brown as a supporter of Donald Trump.
Is that somewhat not just false, but hypocritical, highly disingenuous. And
he is working, he's trying to target Ohioans that are trying to make ends
meet, trying to be a working class senator, and he's not pushing a
minimum wage like this is going to take tens of thousands of jobs away like
they did in California. It's going to take away that first rung of people
starting their careers. We look at the housing market right now going crazy because
of an increase of government regulation. People can't get starter homes. And if
we do something like raising the minimum wage, if we re elect Shared Brown
for whatever reason, we're going to get rid of our starter jobs and people
won't be able to get to that. And that it's the furthest away from
the type of coalition, the type of help that President Trumper the Republican Party
are working for our working class. Against all of that. Sure in Ohio,
he looks like he supports Donald Trump. In reality he's the antithesis of
Donald Trump. But whatever it takes politically to get elected, then Sharon Brown
will do. It's time to retire him along with Joe Biden. And I
met you and your wife. She was pregnant and this is kid number five.
Is that correct? Yes, sir, little Rosemary rose weeks old.
Now well, love grows where Rosemary goes, and no one knows me.
I love Rosemary the name all right, once again, Representative Adam Matthews of
Warren County, you're a great American, and thank you for coming on the

I forget him too, Willie. That guy's a clown. When's the last
time he'd been to the Southern Border? Now? Where are you now?
If anywhere people want to know? You sound a bit muffled and hidden,
Willie. The Let's see, we're We're at the Rising Star Casino today and

I just looked on the x AKA Twitter and Ty Gingrich, the young

And will you stay cool inside? Willie with Tame Starr, gonna stay
cool outside. The Student Report this week is presented by a c R Gun
eyed Pools and spas the main man. There is Frank's eyebell. Politically this
year, get itbell singing this him don't truly a second hour ago. You're
talking about the men's basketball tournament being expanded. I'm reading into this story the
women's tournament last year. It's coming off his most six scessful campaign ever.
They had eighteen point seven million watching the title game between South Carolina and Iowa,
which is more than three million more who saw Yukon beat Perdue. So
the women's college game is more popular? Is that that girl that wears number
twenty two? It might have been a Caitlin Clark, And of course the
WNBA does not want to use her to promote the popularity of their league.
They want to ignore her and hurt her. That is ridiculous, correct and
Willie? Last night, of course, are our beloved Orange is Blue ft
centcidentie men defeating the Philadelphia Union four to three. Luke Joe Acosta two golden
an assist and a Costa scoring the game win it with just seconds to go
in the final minute of play to beat the Union. And FC back in
action Saturday night at TQL Stadium against the New England Revolution and by then the
weather might be a bit better. Right now, it's hotter than the hinges
of Hell, no doubt about that. And then, of course the Reds,
with a day off to day after that two to four road trip,
couldn't score a run yesterday when Hunter Green pitched his back start of the season,
retiring fourteen in a row, but the offense didn't show up. The
home stand opens up tomorrow night with the first of three up against those Boston
Red Sox acting here on seven hundred WLLW. The Red Sox just swft the
series versus Toronto. They won five in a row and eight of ten,
and then tonight will leave. The Giants and Cardinals play in Birmingham, Alabama
at historic rickwood Field built and the oldest professional ballpark in the United States.
That was the home of the Birmingham Barons in the Negro League. Willie May's
of course, played there ninety three years old and the great he was the
originator of the five tool player. He could hit, hit for power,
he could run in a good arm and play defense player. And by the
way, segment, the Reds right now are in last place. Are you
aware of that? In the Central Division? Yeah? Back back to last
again, yes, and a couple of weeks yes, things are good.
With a couple of weeks ago they were tied for second. Now it's like,
uh now they're to the basement. Yeah, and they can't beat the
Pittsburgh Pirates other than skiings, that team stinks and the Reds could not hit
the ball, but they score four runs in three games. That's corrected.
That. I think Steens pitches for the Pirates on Saturday. Good. He
will miss the Reds next week Monday, Tuesday and next Wednesday afternoon. Good.
I don't. I think that's how their rotation goes. But they don't
want to see that guy anymore. No reminds me of Nolan Ryan in his
prime. Plus he's got a pretty good girlfriend, Olivia Dunn, who I
used to date. L s U Jim n means reminds me of a guy
that used to pitch brilliantly in baseball. Heaven Me and you and your catching
skills were similar to Johnny Benches, pretty good stuck. It was like Carlton
and uh and Tim McCarver. I don't know about that, but we did
win games. If Knuckshall could have managed better, we would have won the
world title again. Well you know you want it one, so just be
happy. I got the ring, I got the plaque, I got the
money, I got everything. Thank you. And how about Joe Nuxhall taking
me out and the bottom of the seventh inning with two out, nobody on
and our team winning one to nothing. He came out to take me out
and I said to him, what the hell are you doing here? He
said, give me the ball. I felt like throwing it into his stomach.
He took me out, brought in the left fielder who walked to then
a double. When we lost the game, that's when he chased me out
of the dugout through the dressing room on the Dale Maybury Boulevard as I was
calling him names. We had a love hate relationship. Hated me. I
think you're still I think you're still running. Well, he was chasing man.
You know, you get that look in your eye and I saw that
look in his eye and I wasn't going to confront Hamilton Joe. That wasn't
going to happen. That's a very good idea. That's a very good idea,
All left hander, give me some more sports about the NCAA, well,
and I guess we'll lee. The Yahoo Sports is saying that they've talked
to Division I commissioners about a couple of different models, and one of them
say they could expand the men's basketball tournament now from four to eight teams.
So they got what's sixty eight in there now to do the manor seventy six.
The one thing they got to keep through they have to keep the first
four ud Arena and Dayton. I think that's institutionalized. That's great, and
they're going to keep the sixty four team field. But then you'll be qualifying
in this other add on games, and so you know, they're fighting without
Caitlin Clark. It's going to be interesting to see how the women tournament ranks
without her. And by the way, the WNBA is on track to lose
fifty million dollars this year, all paid for by the NBA, and so
they might want to think, you know what, let's dance with the girl
we brought to the party. Caitlin Clark should be used by the WNBA,
not abused by the WNBA. Do you agree You've got a good point there.
I wholeheartedly agree yes. Now, secondly, the ESPN is reporting that
Andrew ben Attendee, my good friend, is on track. They have the
worst season in the history of baseball according to war wins Above. Replacement Andrew
ben Attendee. Maybe the Reds could trade for him immediately, get him here.
We'll get the White Bucks to pay most of the salary and get him
here Willie and let him play left field and hit home runs at Great American
Baullpark, the places go crazy. What about Monty Williams, Well, he
got fired by the Pistons after one season and they owe him sixty five million
dollar buyout. I would have kept him. I would have kept him.
I guess they have that kind of money in Detroit and Motown. But the
Piston stink anyway, don't they all? Right? Well, they had like
one of the worst records ever in the history of the game, one of
the worst ever. The only time they've ever been good with Lamber and Dennis
Rodman and Isaiah Thomas were there the rest of them. Since then, it's
been Mark Burns Daddy in Motown. Yeah, awful. And what about twenty
five years ago, that's about it. Well, they used to have Luke
Canard and they were pretty good, and then they dealt him. He's out
in LA I think still with the Clippers a little bit, a little of
Franklin. To watch the NBA anyway, I do watch Caitlin Clark, which
I find unbelievable. The fact that I would watch a woman play basketball over
a men is unbelievable. I agree, Willie. I've been watching her too.
She did well the other night, and maybe that one game will bring
her into form and she'll start lighting it up with a WNBA from now one.
I think they won three or four in a row. I think yeah,
I think they're like six and eighteen on the rear. But you know
what, it's all right that you know, she just got to come in
and you know she's got she's got charter flights for the players, and she's
got everything else, and all they do is just manhandler. And it's a
shame. The charter flights cost about thirty million. They normally lose twenty to
thirty million a year. Now they're losing fifty million a year. Even with
the increased attendance. They can't make money. They feel entitled, they feel
angry instead of recept them. One of the best things I saw was Larry
Bird and Magic Johnson loving each other, playing hard and having at it,
and also Bill Lambert going against Michael Jordan. Pretty good stuff. But yeah,
correct, she's the money maker. You got to say to her,
how do we help you do better? How do we officials make sure you're
ped? And seemingly the girls don't want to do that, which is unbelievable.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. There all they do is throw her around
and throw around the court and foul her and and then she's got more technical
fouls. I think than David Bell has been ejected from a baseball game these
days. He's leading the league in the ejections, isn't he? Uh?
Probably and and and uh and and also probably find he goes some ice cold
the red hot. I taught him how to hit, I should teach him
how to manage. As you know, I managed Double ABC Baseball with the
Crable Crabs because of Bob Kraber. We were the Crable Cab Crabs. I
love that. But I taught the boys how to how to win and how
to lose. But David Bell is unbelievable. I taught that kid out to
hit a few years ago. I should teach him now how to manage.
But let's face it, when the players don't hit, it's not the manager's
fault. Do you agree, Well, that's correct. And then also a
lot of a lot of golfers out here. While he wanted to know who
tought Andrew betettending to hit, that would be me, Well, I don't
know what, I don't know, what do you do? I mean,
you know, hopefully over you know, I mean maybe maybe, you know,
probably the some Yankee will get hurt and he'll get he'll get dealt to
the Yankees and probably become as big as Paul O'Neill, who knows, well,
a good team, that's a least got to do. Paul O'Neill was
sad, sad when he was traded to the Yankees. I said, Paulie,
keep your keep your chin up. You're going to a pretty good team.
That stinks. But now look what happened. He's got a monument in
center field and his numbers retired, which never would have happened in Cincinnati.
That is correct, Willy, that is correct? All right? Any other
comments or questions, I think that'll do it, all right. Get me
out of the Student's Report, getting ready for Eddie and the Rock and I
will join them by the way at five oh six this afternoon will be an
honor of everyone here at Rising Star Casino and Rising Sun Indiana. We had
a great day with our golfers and our red sponsors. We leave you with
the immortal words of the student Report. So I heard you blame the Republicans
for the federal debt. But President Biden has been in office for thirty five
months, and over the past three months, the US has added ten billion
dollars per day to the federal debt and that's not turning around. So is
there a discussion here about cutting spending? The Republican tax cuts are responsible for
ninety percent of the increase in the debt. Let's bs The total number of
dollars collected from US increases every year, and the problem is not that we're
taxed too little, but government spends too much. Segment, Thanks for your
involvement. Will you be back here tomorrow? I'll be back there tomorrow,
will ye? Yes, sir seg Man, you're a great American. Give
my best of Bill Weber, who sells the US and services the rest got
the hole in one? What did that team get for getting the hole in
one? Do you know that? I don't know yet. We we're going
to have the awards ceremony here in a few minutes. When will you come
back from rising sun? If at all, probably later on this afternoon.
All right, back to work, Segment, and thank you for all that
you are. I know everyone makes fun of you here, but I love
you and I wish you the best same here? WILLI sa I right back
at you. God bless God, Bless America. Let's continue two fifty five
