Bill Cunningham, the Great America, and walk in this quarre as for any
two after in the tri Reds Baseball. Listening last night to Tommy and the
Creeker, couldn't believe it. You can't have a closer who can't throw strikes.
And right now Diaz cannot throw strikes. As the ras above six,
He's giving up at least two either walks or hits every inning he pitches,
and he can't find the strike zone. Put me in there right now.
I'll find the freakin strike zone and at least make them put the ball in
play. Don't tell me the Snakes are that good. But the Reds get
back out of tonight about eight forty airtime or so, and so much more.
But until then, you may recall that there's Hamas chapters all over the
United States of America. I thought didn't think this was possible, but I
guess anti Semitism is rearing it's likely head on college campuses in Xavier, my
alma mater, is not immune. There were two one student and one recent
graduate named Sophia and Julia Lankish, both twenty two years old, that wanted
to protest or wanted to talk about the glories of Hamas and they were told
time manner in place, you can protest, so to speak over there,
you can't do it here. They refuse to comply, they were arrested,
and because of a missive from the Attorney General David Yost that can make misdemeanors
felonies if a mask is being worn. It's a ku Klux Klan Eiric case,
similar to what the Democrats did one hundred and fifty years ago. They
formed the ku Klux Klan and that was being used by local prosecutors. But
it appears the grand jury yesterday ignored the felonies and kept the misdemeanors in place.
Plus, you have Biden on the ballot. The lawmakers have not passed
a provision that allows Joe Biden to be on the ballot. Of course he
probably can't spell ballot. That's a different issue, but nonetheless also studentone forgiveness
and more. David Yost ag welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And
can you explain to the American people, well, what is this ku klux
plan air a law that allows local prosecutors to increase misdemeanors to felonies if a
mask is worn. So a misdemeanor is going to be one person to one
act like trespassing. I trespass and go on your property without permission. You
tell me to leave. I don't go. I'm trespassing. What this law
does. It says if you do it with two or more people together and
you're wearing masks, now we're going to treat it as a more serious defense
and enhanced offense, and it becomes a fourth degree felony. Well, now
explain the old Temple one sentence law and it was passed I think one hundred
and fifty years ago. Does it make any difference? This is the question.
It was passed more or less to keep the ku Klux Klan from running
around in their silly outfits terrorizing black folks and others. Some have said,
well, that's an old law, it doesn't apply in this case. What
does the Attorney general say? Well, that's silly the first amendments and old
law too. The fact that it's old, you know, it reminds me
a little bit of when we started using When I was prosecutor in Jelaare County,
an old school former prosecutor was on the bench's judge and kind of crotchy.
The old guy and I started using this is in the early two thousands.
I started using the racketeering law against drug dealers because they were wrecking havoc
in our community. And he said, that's not what this law is meant
for. And we had a big argument about it. But the fact of
the matter is law is what it says it is, and it prescribes not
a group of people or actions by a particular person, but it tells all
of us, here's the standard of conduct. If you do this. It
kind of doesn't matter that you, you know, hate juice people instead of
hate black people. That's not the point of the law. The point of
the law is to prescribe conduct in neutral terms that apply to everybody. Every
time, every whin Well, I'm watching MSNBC, and I do that so
you don't have to they talk about you. These are different times that because
of COVID, there's a fear among the nosering crowd who drive use Volvos that
somehow I got to wear a mask because I'm going to catch something terrible.
And one of the commentators on MSNBC kind of one after you, David Yost,
which you should wear as a badge of honor that says, basically,
you're you're kind of going back in time on a law when so many Americans
are fearing identification by school officials or they're fearing COVID back and forth in their
tents somewhere. How would you respond to the issue of MSNBC legal antis had
said, Thedavid Yos is reaching. This really isn't a felony. It kunds
like something happening to the Trumpster today in Manhattan Court. But nonetheless, how
do you respond to those who say on MSNBC that this law wasn't intended for
this situation and that you're reaching. Aside from laughing hysterically, well, let's
start with COVID. The pandemic is over. There's still COVID variations out there,
but people aren't wearing masks. Now. Are there a few fragile souls
out there who worry a lot that still wear masks? Yeah, I'm sure
there are, but they're not the protesters on campus. The protesters on campus
have said we're afraid of reprisals. Well, what does that mean? Reprisals
by the university presidents? They can't bring themselves to reclaim their own buildings and
their own laws. They're all woke. Who's they're going to reprise against you?
You're gonna take action against the dog doesn't hunt. So who are they
really afraid of reprisals against. They're afraid of being held criminally accountable for committing
criminal acts like threatening Jewish kids, like pinning them into a conference room so
they can't get out because there's a chanting crowd outside yelling death to Jews.
They're worried about being held accountable because kids are trying to get into the library
and they're occupying the library. That's what they're afraid of. And that's exactly
what the kluks Klan was afraid of. They didn't want to be held accountable
for breaking the law. Remember this is not a no protesting with mask law.
This is a don't commit crimes with other people while wearing masks, and
so the mist demanders would be criminal trespassed, which is manner in place.
So if Tony Bender wants to protest and get in favor of a moss terrorism,
he's got the right to do that, But schools and other facilities have
the right to say the time, place and manner will be right over there.
You can go into your heart's content screamed your lungs out. That's okay.
But these two students, one graduate and one present said, I'm going
to ignore the law. I'm not gonna protest where you tell me to protest.
I'm going to protest right here to disrupt the Xavier commencement. That's the
problem, correct time, place and manner that That is the problem. But
there's one other thing about it. And I don't know. I haven't seen
the file on the Xavier case that you're raising. I've only seen the news
media. But according to the news media, it was two people arrested because
there were two people who refused to move. Now, let's go back to
law one O one. What is that one sentence? Law? Say no
person with two or more people to commit a crime while wearing a mask.
Two or more people plus the perpetrator is three, two doesn't count. Do
you think that that's gonna get You're a law you're a lawyer, Willie,
and then you don't like to talk about it. But built with that,
is that going to pass even a grand jury? Well, I would think
the law itself is pretty simple, and it was passed for specific reasons.
And factually, these girls, these young women with their multi colored hair and
their nose rings, wanted to ignore what the statute said, ignore, having
been warned repeatedly by Xavier personnel, law enforcement, Xavier said, and Xavier
police aren't exactly like Minneapolis before the George Floyd riots. No, no,
Xavier police. They're saying, how can we help you, and they're saying,
look, you got to go over there. And they asked them several
times, and they refused, then clammed up, and they wanted to be
arrested. They wanted to make this a big deal. And that's what's happening,
makes ath which makes it a trashpad that privilege only even even in our
liberal bastiondents with higher learning, two still is not the same as three.
No, and so this is not an enhanceable selony unless there were other people
there, which there's no evidence that I'm aware that there was. I'm going
to have Missy Powers didn't get indicted, No, they didn't. They didn't
get indicted. No, no, And so we'll see what happens on the
misdemeanor. We know in the city of Cincinnati, very little happens on misdemeanor.
That's a different issue. Uh So this thing's pending. You're not going
to change your opinion despite the vicious attacks on you by MSNBC and in Morning
Joe, You're going to maintain maybe follow the laws. You're not going to
buckle. Is that what I'm saying. That's my story and I'm sticking to
it. Let's talk about Joe Biden on the ballot. The medium once to
make a big deal of this. I've had Mike the wine on. Mike
said, look, he's going to be on the ballot. You're the attorney
general. They try to pass the amendment through the legislature. Our legislature right
now is completely dysfunctional. If there's no Democrats around, the Republicans fight with
Republicans, and so at this point, very little is happening in Columbus.
What is the status as we sit here on May fourteenth about Biden on the
ballot. Well, the law still says that you've got to be on a
ballot ninety days in front of the election. That's so the Secretary of State
can allow our troops overseas to actually vote, and you need some time to
make that happen. So there's a good reason for the law. A few
days probably is not going to matter. Candidly, they've waived that in the
past. I don't know why they can't wave it this year. But what
I can tell you is Frankel Rose isn't allowed to do it after the disastrous
twenty twenty primary. Let's just say, to pass the law made it ajailable
offense for an executive officer to change a statute regarding elections. So Franklin doesn't
have a power and doesn't want to risk jail. And I don't blame him
for not just changing it to change it. But look, we were all
rightly outraged when the Secretary of State and Maine said Donald Trump doesn't get to
be on the ballot, and the Colorado Supreme Court said Donald Trump doesn't get
to be on the ballot, and the Supreme Court said, this is national
office. The presidency and the vice presidency are the only politicians that are elected
by the whole country. Everybody else's state or district or municipality local thing,
and one state doesn't get to veto the favorite son of another state. Is
just this is going to get resolved. I'm embarrassed that this is happening in
Ohio. But of course Joe Biden should be on the ballot. He will
be on the ballot, and I'm looking forward to sending him into a retirement.
So if l Rose can't do it, because if he would do it
could be a crime. I don't think Frank Lero is going to commit a
crime. He's an army guy. Secondly, the lawmakers in Columbus can't get
their act together on almost anything, and they didn't pass it, and so,
and it has to be done by August sixth. I assume ninety days
off of November fifth is about August the sixth, and the Democratic conventions not
till the middle of August, about ten days later. So what's a possible
resolution Because I would think in about a month the ballots are going to be
printed. So who can say do it? And then there'll be a lawsuit
filed saying don't do it. And if you don't do it, then there'll
be a lawsuit fil saying do it. Either do it and you don't,
or you don't and you do. But if you do or your don't or
don't and you do, you get the same result. You know what I'm
saying, Well, I know you're a lot younger than I am. But
once you reach back into history books that you studied in high school, ask
you if you remember the name John Anderson. Absolutely he was. It was
a blundheaded guy, I think from Illinois or something, a congressman who wanted
to be the president in nineteen eighty and he came to the Great Buckeye State
and filed petitions for the presidency in May of nineteen eighty. Except that these
Secretary of State at that point, a fellowed by the name of Celebrazy,
said, hey, ninety days before the election, or it wasn't ninety days
back then, but the deadline was back in March. You missed the deadline,
you can't be on the ballot. Went all the way to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and the Supreme Court said, of course he
gets to be on the ballot. Put him on the ballot, and he
was and he lost. But you know that's not what we lawyers say on
all fours. He was an independent candidate. A few differences in law.
Principle there is so strong and I just can't imagine that if this does end
up in court, that a court is not going to rule, just as
the Supreme Court did on the main in Colorado cases, to say that an
incumbent present yes, gets to be on the ballot. All right, I
have a conspiracy theory ready for this one. Oh boy, I'm making bets
all over the place, hot fud Sunday bets, mister Attorney General that Joe
Biden will not be the nominated of the Democrat Party. It would simply be
the Executive Committee of the DNC could get together next week and pass a resolution
declaring that Joe Biden is the nominee of the Democrat Party and that would solve
the issue. Send it to Secretary State. He'll probably ship it to you
and say what do you think about this? And then you'll say, yes,
get them on the ballot. Unless there's a in the back of one's
mind, is the idea that Joe Biden is not going to be the nominee
the Democrat Party. We can't put him up there because of his mental decline.
And so let's wait until sometime in June to decide whether the substitute Michelle
Obama for Joe Biden. Am I on the right track. My crystal ball
has a big old crack right down the middle of it. So I'm not
on the right track. Nope, I just can't tell. What did the
magic eight ball used to say? I answer, Cloudy, ask again later.
Yeah, it's like what when Penny was inaugurated the first time as the
Court of Appeals to Judge Andy Douglas, the great Supreme Court justice came down
and gave her the eight ball. They had like eight sayings you turn around
and and say, now it's not the right time for that, or overruled
sustained. Just roll the eight ball and it tells you the ruling. All
right, let's see what happens to David Yo, you're telling me, as
the age of Ohio that Joe Biden will be on the ballot no matter what,
assuming that he is surviving and thriving. All of us is subject to
the vagaries of our own mortality. Well, I think I won't say another
word about Joe Biden's mental abilities. I'll get in trouble. But nonetheless,
David Yost, thank you, and we'll see what happens. Biden will be
on the ballot. And for those who want to protest two or more in
a conspiracy and commit a misdemeanor, with a mask on. Suddenly you might
be going to prison for a long time. David Yost, once again,
thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. May God bless you and
God bless America. David, thank you very much. Good to talk to
you. Let's continue with more. Biden will be on the ballot, but
I don't think they don't want. They don't want to put him on the
ballot because they want to be able to say the guy's a complete idiot and
a fool, makes no sense at all. He tumbles down the steps like
a beer barrel, and we can't put them. We can't continue with this
charade. And that's what I think is going to happen. That's why the
Democrats don't want to announce ahead of time I'm through the DNC Executive Committee that
he's the nominee, because then you got more problems. Let's continue. Bie
