1
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.799
Bill cunning In the Great American.
Coming up later were the Congressman Warren Davidson

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.080
about the budget deficits and all the
things happening in Washington, in the fact,

3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:15.199
the Republicans keep continuing resolutions as far
as I can see, never dealing

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.399
with issues. But about ten o'clock
this morning, a couple hours ago,

5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:25.000
the US Supreme Court ruled nine Zip
nine Zip to Colorado or Michigan or Maine,

6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:30.120
the secretaries of States, etc.
Cannot keep a presidential candidate off the

7
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.399
ballot under section three of the Siver
of the fourteenth Amendment. And it's up

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:38.640
to the Congress to set the rules, not up to individual state elections officers.

9
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.920
Jonaan you and I now, is
Frank LaRose a second cousin of Buddy

10
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.320
L. Rosa. He's a great
American. Frank LaRose, I wanted to

11
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.960
get You've only had a couple hours
to review this thing. But I don't

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.560
know if your staff and you have
read the opinion at But as the chief

13
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.880
election officer, what do you think
about? Even the extreme liberals on the

14
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.479
US Supreme Court said the Colorado,
Michigan, and Maine can not do what

15
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.760
they wanted to do. Your reaction, Well, this is a victory for

16
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.200
the American people. It's a victory
for common sense. This has been a

17
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:12.079
desperate attempt from the beginning by the
radical left to try to keep the man

18
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.599
they most fear off the ballot.
I'll tell you what we did in Ohio.

19
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.480
Not only did I respond that,
over my dead body, would they

20
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.200
do that in the Buckeye State?
And we made it very clear, but

21
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.079
we also I organized a group of
Republican Secretaries of State. We presented an

22
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.840
amicust brief making it clear that we
have this radical idea that only the voters

23
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.640
should get to decide who their party's
nominee is, and then they should be

24
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.319
the ones that get to decide who
their president is. That man will be

25
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.200
Donald J. Trump in twenty twenty
five, and I look forward to joining

26
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:45.680
him and making America great again.
Would it even pass your mom? Would

27
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.200
you even think about, Well,
you may oppose Joe Biden, you may

28
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.159
have opposed Kamala Harris, you may
not like the policies of Joe Biden.

29
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.879
Would you even consider, as the
chief elections officer in state of Ohio to

30
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.879
say, you know what I think
Joe Biden engaged in insurrection or giving aiden

31
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.480
comfort to the enemy by doing what
he did in Iran, I rock Afghanistan,

32
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.560
et cetera. That I'm frank LeRose
and I'm striking the name of Joe

33
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.039
Biden from Ohio's ballot. Did that
even pass your mind? Pass you pass

34
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.599
your mind at all? You know
why it didn't, Willy, Because I

35
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.280
believe in keeping my word and my
oath of office is a solid obligation to

36
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.719
execute the laws faithfully as written.
I disagree with all of those things that

37
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.039
Biden has done, and I think
he's been a terrible president, and that's

38
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:36.039
why we're going to defeat him this
November. But using the powers of my

39
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.080
office, abusing the powers of my
office to try to keep him off the

40
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:45.039
ballot never cross my mind. Secondly, there are states like Pennsylvania and Michigan

41
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.560
in which the secretaries of state in
those states do not have complete control of

42
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.680
elections, like in Ohio and Florida. For example, in Pennsylvania, the

43
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:59.639
Pennsylvania voters in each county elect a
chief Elections officer, and that man or

44
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:05.319
woman and makes fundamental decisions about where
are the dropboxes, who's on the ballot,

45
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.400
who's not on the ballot. How
long are the polls open that they

46
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:13.759
make all these decisions that should be
statewide or federally. When you get together

47
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.080
with the other forty nine secretaries of
state, do you think about having a

48
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:23.639
more uniform way of determining the ballot
procedures which determine the outcome? Have you

49
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.159
thought how much luckier we are to
be in Ohio or Florida or Kentucky that

50
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.240
has functional balloting. But you told
me a few months ago that in Pennsylvania,

51
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.680
each county kind of sets its own
rules. How's that possible? Well,

52
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.039
it's foolish. And not only have
I thought about it, I've acted

53
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.159
on it. I worked with a
group of Republican US congressmen to help get

54
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.759
a bill written called the ASAC.
It's got over two hundred sponsors in the

55
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.479
US House. It'll pass the House, but it'll die as long as Chuck

56
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.759
Schumer is in charge in the US
Senate. That's why it's crucial that I

57
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.080
beat Sharon Brown this November and go
to the Senate as in a election integrity

58
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.439
expert, who's actually going to be
able to get the ASAC done. What

59
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:08.639
it would do is really take Ohio's
best practices and encourage other states to do

60
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.840
it. We are the gold standard. We take dead people off the voter

61
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.560
rules, we check IDs. We
don't send out absentee ballots unless people request

62
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:19.360
them. We restrict the use of
dropboxes. We have statewide standards for these

63
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.680
things. That's something we actually absolutely
need to export to the other forty nine

64
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.680
states. Lastly, on this issue, Mary Garland, the Attorney General of

65
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.480
this great country, he said yesterday
Sunday in a commemoration of the Democrats who

66
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:39.240
beat up civil rights workers called Bloody
Sunday on the Pettis Bridge, that ID

67
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:45.160
laws are fundamentally racist. The implication
is that black folks and brown folks can't

68
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.519
figure out how to get a driver's
license or get an ID. And he

69
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:53.800
said he will work to sue any
state that requires an ID. Now we're

70
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.639
in a state that requires an ID. I'm not sure in Kentucky you have

71
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.680
to have an ID. I believe
you do. Out in Ohio, you

72
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.839
got to show up with an ID, their driver's license, a passport.

73
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.120
There's all kinds of things to get
an ID, including state issue ID.

74
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.240
I asked you, Frank LeRose is
making a vote to prove who they are

75
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:16.800
is that fundamentally racist? Absolutely not. In fact, the AG's words are

76
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:23.079
insulting to people that actually risked their
lives to bring about the great changes that

77
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.720
happened in the civil rights movement.
By the way, Republicans that were leading

78
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.000
the charge on that. And you
know, it's like the boy who Cried

79
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.800
Wolf. When people like Garland claim
that something as simple as proving your identity

80
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.959
is racist, pretty soon nothing is
racist. We need to be clear when

81
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.160
something is actually racist and call it
out so that we can fight it.

82
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.519
Photo ID is not and infect it's
something that the best majority of Ohio and

83
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.279
support. Well, you're the Secretary
of State, and I can think this

84
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.319
is a great ruling. And to
me as an American, when you have

85
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:59.920
the three extreme liberals including Kaitanyi Jackson
ruling with Clarence Thomas and with Sam Elee

86
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.920
and with Roberts and with Kavanaugh and
with Gorset, you have the three liberals

87
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.720
joining with the Republicans, I think
the message is can we be less partisan?

88
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:15.800
There are things that bind us together
as Americans irrespective of D or R

89
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.319
type politics. And I thought it
was a good thing that the liberals said

90
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:24.800
we can't have this but that's not
the approach of the radical left in many

91
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.199
parts of our country that simply want
to sue the guy, indict the guy,

92
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.680
I strike his name from the ballot. And I was somewhat heartened by

93
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.920
the idea that even liberals have figured
out some of the stuff that holds us

94
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:41.759
together is more important than simply politics. Is that your read also absolutely we

95
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.160
believe that the people are the ultimate
authority. The only permission that you have

96
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.600
to govern as a secretary of State
or a US senator, as a president

97
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.279
comes from the people, and that
can only happen when they have the option

98
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.800
of choosing who their nominee for president's
going to be. I think these justices

99
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.000
knew that even though the partisan side
of them wanted to try to keep Trump

100
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.319
off the ballot, that they would
have ended up on the wrong side of

101
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.759
history, and that would have been
a cloud over the rest of their careers.

102
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.360
And I would have hoped that if
Ruth Gater Ginsburg had lived, and

103
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.240
she said back in twenty sixteen that
she did not want Donald Trump to be

104
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.319
the president, and that's Ruth Bader
Ginsburg. I thought that was a terrible

105
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.879
act for a impartial justice to say, but a lot of what was ruled

106
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:29.040
on today was fundamentally the same kind
of issue that Ruth Bader Ginsburg said should

107
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.639
be overturned, should be overruled.
So I hope this quiets down the partisanship

108
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:39.040
by some in Michigan and Colorado and
Maine and about fourteen other states that had

109
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.680
bills and proposals to strike his name
from the ballot. I can only think

110
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.600
of if the vote was five to
four, possibly the partisanship would increase instead

111
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.519
of decrease. But with a nine
zip ruling that you can't do that strike

112
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:55.240
Donald Trump's name from the ballot,
maybe that'll hold some water. Now let's

113
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.519
turn the page to page two,
which a little bit of politics. You're

114
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.000
running against the corse of Burnt Marino
and Matt Dolan to take the place of

115
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:09.920
to run against Shared Brown, which
is the Bernie Sanders of the of the

116
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.800
state of Ohio. Is Shared Brown
very liberal? There's a commercial running in

117
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.120
which you appear to be endorsing far
left wing liberal positions. And I would

118
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.879
note that Richard K. Jones,
the Sheriff of Butler County, not exactly

119
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.920
a liberal kind of a guy,
has endorsed you over the other two,

120
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.519
which to me speaks a lot.
How do you respond to that video clip

121
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:35.120
that has you endorsing certain left wing
causes, Well, it's desperation by Bernie

122
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.960
Moreno's team. He's trying to sell
Ohioans a lemon, and they're not buying

123
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.960
it. They want a real,
proven conservative. That's who I am.

124
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.360
Now. I don't have the millions
of dollars of personal wealth to spend that

125
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.480
he's spending, But what I do
have is the trust of Ohioans. They

126
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.919
know that I am a family values
conservative who has fought for life, fought

127
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.080
for gun rights. Bernie Moreno has
a very shifty record on these things.

128
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.039
He has changed his views just in
recent years. He was for gun control,

129
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.159
he was for funding planned parenthood,
and now who claims that he's a

130
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.720
conservative. Ohioans aren't buying it.
They don't trust him, and his campaign

131
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.320
is getting desperate and just plain old
making things up about me. There are

132
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.960
many times I'll receive a letter to
sign something. I do videos three or

133
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.159
four a week. Someone gets hold
of me and say, can you congratulate

134
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.919
this group? Can you congratulate this
married couple after thirty years of marriage?

135
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.399
Can you do this? Can you
do that? Can you sign this a

136
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.120
note? Can you sign an autograph? And I think you were offering congratulations

137
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.720
to a group on their anniversary,
and you don't endorse the goals of the

138
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.759
group, but this is a kindly
thing you did in your mind that's metastasized

139
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.919
into this issue. Am I offering
that? Yeah, that's it. Listen.

140
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.519
As the Ohio Secretary of State,
I'm the Secretary of State for all

141
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.399
people, including those that I agree
with and those that I disagree with.

142
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.559
Groups ask us to celebrate their anniversary. I thought that was an innocuous enough

143
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.639
thing to do, even though I
don't agree with that group. I was

144
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.159
just telling them happy anniversary. My
record is clear on this. I have

145
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.679
fought the radical trans agenda in Ohio. I've been the one helping lead the

146
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:11.000
charge to get the Governor's Veto overridden
to make sure that in Ohio we know

147
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:18.000
we protect children against the madness of
transition surgery for minor children. This is

148
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.039
clear in ohioan's know it. As
far as what you would have done in

149
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.200
the Senate if you were there,
and in fact, if you were sitting

150
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:31.279
in the Senate seat and a proposal
came up that would would do what the

151
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:37.720
Border Protection Bill sought to do,
which was to allow five thousand new illegal

152
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:43.120
immigrants into the country every day.
Goes this Border Protection Act. I'm watching

153
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.200
the nightly news last night, and
once again it was bipartisan Republicans and Democrats

154
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.840
all came together, and what they
did was have a very reasonable approach to

155
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.799
the southern border to spend tens of
billions of dollars we don't have. How

156
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.720
would you have voted on that bill
if it allowed five thousand illegal immigrants per

157
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.480
day, about two million per year
to come into the country. That's the

158
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.360
fairness of that bill. How would
you have voted I would have voted no

159
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.639
only because hell no is not an
option. I would have definitely voted no

160
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.720
on that because it doesn't actually do
what it claims to do. You know,

161
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:18.759
the Democrats, when they name a
bill something, it probably does the

162
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.480
opposite, kind of like the Inflation
Reduction Act wasn't actually designed to reduce inflation,

163
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.559
but offer government subsidies for green energy. Same thing with this so called

164
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.080
Border security bill. What it was
really meant to be is a fig leaf

165
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.720
for people like Shared Brown, so
that when I'm running against him on the

166
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:37.600
campaign trail this summer and fall.
He can say, well, I voted

167
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.039
for the border security bill. We
know what it really was. It was

168
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:46.799
really allowing five thousand a day to
enter the country illegally. The acceptable number

169
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.159
is zero. It was massive funding
for sanctuary cities. I told you the

170
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.200
story about when I was on Army
reserve duty in Denver last summer and the

171
00:11:54.240 --> 00:12:00.759
mayor of Denver was complaining about people
seeking sanctuary in his same ctuary city.

172
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.480
Right, this is the hypocrisy of
the left. That was a bad bill.

173
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.039
It's really an example of what's wrong
with Washington. It is. And

174
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:13.080
secondly, on the budget deficit,
which isn't a very sexy idea. Every

175
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:20.039
one hundred days America borrows brand new
one trillion dollars to fund the federal government.

176
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.519
Every one hundred days, one trillion
dollars. Every day we borrow six

177
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.679
billion dollars, one third of which
pays interest on the national debt. If

178
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.919
you take Social Security, Medicare,
Medicaid, interest on the national debt,

179
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.759
and funding the military, that's about
eighty percent of the federal budget eighty percent.

180
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:43.320
So unless you can touch those sacred
cows, we're in trouble. How

181
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.759
would you what would you do to
fundamentally change the arc of bankruptcy and default

182
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.559
in this country? Every one hundred
days we borrow an additional one trillion dollars.

183
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:58.120
What would Frank LeRose do to stop
that? A thirty four trillion dollar

184
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.919
national debt is generational thing. It's
us saying we're going to live beyond our

185
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:03.759
means and we're going to expect our
children and grandchildren to pay for it.

186
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.000
It's no way to govern the world's
most exceptional nation. And this is why

187
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.159
we can't have corporate elites that go
along get along, folks like mister Marno

188
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.600
or mister Dolan go to Washington,
that are just going to continue kicking the

189
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.120
can down the road. I have
been leading on a balanced budget amendment for

190
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.799
years. I did that resolution in
our state Senate and said, we absolutely

191
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:28.399
have to pass a balanced budget amendment. It means tough choices about the spending

192
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.720
spree that it seems like Republican and
Democrat elites agree on. It seems like

193
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.240
the people in Washington all agree on
spending more of your money. Those will

194
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.320
be tough choices. We have to
be willing to do that so that we

195
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.399
can put our country back on track. And by the way, Willie,

196
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.200
we don't have a revenue problem,
as a component of GDP revenue is at

197
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.600
nearly an all time high. We
have a spending problem, and it's going

198
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.080
to take people of courage like an
Army Green Beret to get that fixed.

199
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.720
Lastly, there's about one hundred and
twenty billion dollars of brand new spending which

200
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.559
would fund Ukraine, Israel, southern
border, et cetera, sanctuary cities.

201
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.840
We get a boatload of money,
et cetera. The way to stop spending

202
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.919
more money is to stop spending more
money. Would you vote? Would you

203
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:13.159
have voted no on that the one
hundred and ten billion dollars. These should

204
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.320
be considered as separate issues. Right
There are things that if we don't fix

205
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.799
them, are going to cost us
more money in the long term. We

206
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.639
absolutely need to stand with Israel.
This is one where I've really been differentiated

207
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.159
from my opponent, mister Marino,
who said he doesn't support sending more money

208
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.399
to Israel, which is ridiculous.
We have to stand with the State of

209
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.879
Israel, but these should be considered
as separate issues. We must invest in

210
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:39.759
the border because the cost of not
doing that is astronomically high when you consider

211
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.120
the government benefits that the Biden administration
wants to give to illegal So we have

212
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.799
to be smart about how we spend
money. We have to invest where there's

213
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.559
a return on investment. Well,
Franklerosa, thank you very much. Endorsed

214
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.360
by Richard K. Jones, the
very far left liberal sheriff of Butler County.

215
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.320
I think the sheriff knows what he's
doing. Franklerose, once again,

216
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.840
thank you for coming on the Bill
Cunningham Show relating your ideas on the Supreme

217
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.759
Court and more. But thank you
very much. Thanks Willie. Let's continue

218
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.000
with more if a line becomes available. Five one, three, seven,

219
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.799
four, nine, seven thousand coming
up next, we've scheduled the guests.

220
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:16.440
Who was at Hollywood Casino when it
was robbed over the weekend? It was

221
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.480
like Ocean's eleven, twelve and thirteen

Jack. He had these magic beans through

224
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.559
this stupid bean stock and climbed it. Does he know there's a giant up

225
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.919
there. I doubt it. Then
what are you doing? They're listening to

226
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.039
Eddie and Rocky. They're smart and
funny everything Jack isn't. Then why wait

227
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:48.720
for him? The Beanstalk's not the
only thing the magic mead bigger Eddie and

233
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.919
Over the weekend, we had our
own Ocean fourteen event at Lawrenceburg and Hollywood

234
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.399
Casino. I thought maybe Brad Pitt
or George Clooney were involved. They were

235
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.919
going to loot the casino. Nobody
would know about it. All of a

236
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.679
sudden, this guy'd walk out with
a million dollars and nobody would say what

237
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:29.840
the hell happened. And but we
have a patron, Jeff, I'll just

238
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.080
use his first name. He was
there at Hollywood and Jeff, Welcome to

239
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.679
the bill Cunningham show, And can
you describe the scene a Hollywood casino over

240
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.600
the weekend when and there was a
looting of the casino that wasn't quite successful.

241
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.840
Yeah. Sure. So my wife
and I and another couple we walked

242
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.000
into the casino or our goal was
to watch the menus, that's the only

243
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.559
reason we went. And I stopped
at the ATM and the other three went

244
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.879
up to the bar area and I
finally caught up to them and I looked

245
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.159
at the beer line. That was
too long. So I told my if

246
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.279
I was going to go, you
know, find another place to buy a

247
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:03.559
beard. And so I was walking. I don't know if you're familiar with

248
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:08.759
the casino. I've been there once
one time. So if you're looking at

249
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.799
the stage, I was on the
right side of the stage, so there's

250
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.079
like a stairwall that goes down into
the bottom floor and I was walking on

251
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:22.039
the outside of that towards to the
cashier area. And as I was walking,

252
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.119
there was a security guard and like
one of those yellow fluorescent jackets,

253
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:32.279
Yeah, crawl on the floor towards
me. And I looked at him and

254
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.799
he's going I'm looking at him,
and he goes we're getting robbed. There's

255
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.400
a guy with a gun, and
I'm like looking around and I could look

256
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.359
over at the cashier. I could
see, you know, people over there.

257
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:45.720
And then I hurried up and went
back to my wife and the other

258
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.759
cup on it go, man,
there's something going down. And as soon

259
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.680
as I said that, somebody goes
there's a gun and I look over and

260
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.119
everybody in the stage area waiting for
the band literally hit the ground, which

261
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.799
is the first time I've ever been
around like that ever before in my life.

262
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:06.559
The girls started getting really upset,
you know, being a dumb guy,

263
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:08.960
you know, we're looking to see
what's going on even more, and

264
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.920
people started going into the bathroom and
hiding behind poles and everything. And then

265
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:18.799
they finally turned the sirens on.
And at this point, you're, what

266
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:23.960
the hell is this guy guards crowling
on the floor. You got sirens going

267
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.440
off, and you're looking around saying, all I want to do is have

268
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.880
a beer for us. It made
no sense. I mean, it was

269
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.200
seven o'clock. I mean, it
took somebody to be very aggressive to do

270
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.440
that at seven. I mean it
was odd and just in It's Indiana.

271
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.720
It's not like it's Miami, so
that was interesting. So we went out

272
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.480
the back. Everybody went out the
back door. We did walk by a

273
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.640
gentleman that fell. I think that
they sent an ambulance for him later.

274
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.759
And we went up on the in
the back. They got the wall banked

275
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:59.599
because of the river to keep the
water from coming in, so we literally

276
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.200
went to the top of the bank. We walked down the bank and we

277
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.599
could see the parking garage from there, and everybody had to walk down the

278
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:10.559
hill to get to the to the
parking garage. We get to the parking

279
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.759
gridge or get into our car,
and we were stuck in our car probably

280
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:17.240
for about forty minutes because they were
not letting anybody leave. I think there

281
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:22.200
was a rumor that the person had
a hostage. That's the other thing that

282
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.400
we learned is when something like this
happens, the rumors fly with everybody.

283
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.240
You know, we probably heard about
three or four different stories about what was

284
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.519
going on. Did you see the
perpetrator at all? So we could see

285
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:38.880
somebody on the other side of the
you know, the cashiers get the bars

286
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.319
and everything in the front. We
could see somebody on the other side inside

287
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:47.160
the cashier. So we're assuming that
that was him. We couldn't figure out

288
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:51.960
how somebody would a get into the
place with a gun and be how they

289
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.759
would get into the to the cashier
area. Well, I no shots were

290
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.440
fired, correct, there was no
shots fired. We didn't hear anything,

291
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.319
and that's what they were reporting.
We didn't hear anything at all on the

292
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.640
shots fired. How stupid here?
How stupid is that? How stupid is

293
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.880
it to think that somebody where a
gun could walk in a Hollywood casino in

294
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.160
Lawrenceburg in Theiana, go into the
cage and like loot the place of a

295
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.240
million dollars in cash and walk out
the front door. All uh, Brad

296
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:22.599
Pitt and George Plooney, that would
be impossible? Is that fair to say?

297
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:26.119
Although it is crazy? I mean, I mean, a why would

298
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.279
anybody want to rob at casino?
You would think I would probably want to

299
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.000
be one of the second most secure
places behind the bank. We couldn't figure

300
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:40.400
it out. We're dumbfounded. All
right, now you're in your car for

301
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.440
forty five minutes. What happened next? When did the all clear sound?

302
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:45.880
I've seen some of the video.
It looks like it looks like a complete

303
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:52.200
catastrophe in the parking garages. Yeah. Yeah, we came out. The

304
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.240
Greendale police car was there, and
then we waited and then all of a

305
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.759
sudden, the traffic started moving.
And when we got down to the exit

306
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.559
of the parking garage, that's when
we've seen everything else. We've seen a

307
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:08.079
lot of different emergency vehicles, you
know, fire trucks, police cars,

308
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:14.240
and ambulances. And then the one
of the fire guys told us that,

309
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.559
you know, to take this road, which took us behind the casino to

310
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:21.559
get us to fifty because they said
it was going to be shut down for

311
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:26.160
hours up front, we didn't know
why. And then we did that and

312
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:29.279
by the time we went around,
they were letting cars out of the out

313
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.279
of the area. Anyway, Did
you have a good night at that?

314
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:34.960
Yeah? I did. You want
to why why? The only thing I

315
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:40.400
lost was my five ninety nine ATM
transaction together and that I came out.

316
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:44.559
Okay, you came out, Okay, you surved. Yeah, I survived.

317
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.920
It was good. It was good. We Yeah, we missed out

318
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:51.160
at a good time with casino.
I know they lost a lot of money

319
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.039
that night because the amount of people
that were leaving. There's a lot of

320
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:59.920
people leaving. Indiana is serious about
crime. Unlike Hambleton County. They're serious

321
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.960
about crime. This guy is going
to spend the rest of his life in

322
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.400
Indiana State Prison. I guarantee you. Because they're serious in about crime in

323
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.680
Indiana, you don't want to rob
Hollywood Casino. Of course hard rock.

324
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.920
Hard rock might be a different story
because you're an amiling count Hollywood Casino.

325
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.400
They take this thing extremely seriously,
extremely so, so you're in touch with

326
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.319
everything. Did you hear how much
he got away with? I did not.

327
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.039
He got out of the facility,
correct, he was found somewhere in

328
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:32.599
the woods or something. Chaos he
got out. It was, I tell

329
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:37.440
you what, it was chaotic and
the girls were crying. We did find

330
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.839
out that girls and guys think about
things differently. You know, my wife

331
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.680
was thinking about the kids and everything
else, and I was trying to get

332
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.960
closer to the guy to see what
was actually happening. So you know,

333
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.960
we're two different For you, I
I'm never going to live again. You

334
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:55.160
got to the security guard on his
knees. I'm not making that up.

335
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.480
I'm not making And you're looking at
this guy crawling at you and the carpet

336
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:06.759
he's in charge, the securities on
his knees. He was a nice guy,

337
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.759
A nice guy told us what was
going on. Wonderful what that's amazing.

338
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.000
According to media accounts, he got
out of the casino and how he

339
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:19.720
got out, I I can't conceive
of him getting I guess in the chaotic

340
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:23.799
everyone was going every which direction and
the security guards are on their knees.

341
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:27.079
So it's like he could have he
could have got out right, he could

342
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:30.640
have gone with the crowd and simply
left. Oh yeah, for sure.

343
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.359
I mean he could have blended in
well. But kay, I didn't hear

344
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.079
the other Remember we heard we heard
it there two. We heard that there

345
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:41.240
was a woman involved too, But
apparently I don't know if that's true or

346
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.200
not. Since he only kept the
one person, they'll beat him about the

347
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.160
face and head until he confesses.
In Lawrenceburg, they don't mess around,

348
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.279
all right. Well, Jeff,
you're going back to Hollywood Casino. Oh,

349
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:55.440
I'll be back. I'll be back. I don't know when, but

350
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:59.079
I'll be back. When the security
guards go on go on their knees,

351
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.839
you know it's time to exit the
facility, exactly. Hi, Jeff,

352
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.279
thank you very much for your live
updated report. Thank you, hey,

353
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.319
thank you, Billye, thank you
all. Let's continue with more if you

354
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:14.200
have information on this seven four nine, seven thousand. But according to media

355
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:18.359
accounts, he made it out of
there somehow and they found him and he's

356
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.759
in jail and he's not leaving anytime
soon. News Radio seven hundred WLW.

00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:30.799
Sports is more than scores and stats. It's people and they're incredible stories like

358
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.960
Joshua Hanson, a third baseman who
did things his way. He'd eat hard

359
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.039
boiled eggs well in the field.
He once sold his bat to a fan

360

in the stands for five dollars.
He was married four times. Sports Talk

stop, we simply continue. After two

365
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.000
o'clock today will be the US Representative
Warren Davidson to talk about why the cr

366
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.880
was approved by the House on Friday. We have another spending deadline coming up

367
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:17.400
on March the eighth, we'll see
what happens by getting back to the Hollywood

368
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:25.640
Casino. The perpetrator allegedly is Daniel
Adam Birdseye. Birdseye thirty nine years old

369
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:30.839
of Cincinnati. He was arrested by
Indiana Gaming Commission officials with the cooperation of

370
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:36.039
Boone County. Now you may think, how's that possible. Well, Boone

371
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:41.079
County has certain technologies that Dearborn County
did not have, mainly a drone.

372
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:48.000
There were at least six different police
agencies that responded quickly, including Kentucky.

373
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.160
Boone County Kentucky Sheriff's Office came in
with a drone that was extremely helpful.

374
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:57.880
The suspect, Birdseye, of course, from Cincinnati, fled into an oxbow

375
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:02.559
area east of the casino. It's
kind of like the river bottoms, kind

376
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.400
of a rough terrain. It was
night, so it was very helpful with

377
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:10.759
the drone, and of course they
also dispatched a canine to track down the

378
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:18.440
suspect and he was located and Mike
Galley is the general manager of Hollywood Casino.

379
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.559
He said, we can't talk about
the specifics, but were incredibly thankful

380
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.839
of numerous team members and law enforcement
who made this arrest quickly and the chaos

381
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.400
caused by the reports of an arm
robbery man with a gun and with the

382
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:40.880
security guards in Hollywood Casino crawling on
the carpeted floor. I can only imagine

383
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:44.640
there was complete and utter chaos.
I've seen some of the video. Chaos

384
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.039
is what was going on because no
one knew what was happening. At this

385
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.039
point. There's not a second person
known as I speak, but meetings are

386
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.200
being held right now among all the
police agencies to track this down. There's

387
00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:02.279
numerous videos of mister Bird's Eye doing
what he did, and so they're pretty

388
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.680
certain they got the right guy.
And in the confusion, he made his

389
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:10.119
way out of the out of the
cage with I would assume some money,

390
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:14.160
but that's an assumption on my part, not reported by Hollywood Casino, which

391
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:18.720
by the way, is a fine
facility in Dearborn County. But Daniel Adam

392
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.960
Bird's Eye is thirty nine years old. To hold up a casino, you

393
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.480
better have the wherewithal of a Brad
Pitt and a George Clooney and have experts

394
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:27.880
involved. You can't walk in with
a gun to a casino, and I

395
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:32.680
think it is damn near impossible to
walk into a casino with a gun anyway,

396
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:36.960
because always they have the metal detectors
as you go through. But nonetheless,

397
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.880
somehow it got in, and mister
Bird's Eye thought it might be a

398
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.000
good idea to pull the gun get
in the cage. He somehow got in

399
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.359
the back. According to Jeff,
I just said on as a patron,

400
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.200
and the rest is history. The
chaos was everywhere, so we'll see what

401
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:57.240
happens we continue to follow that story. I can't recall of a casino being

402
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:03.720
being robbed at this point in our
last ten to fifteen, maybe twenty years.

403
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.160
They're almost impossible to rob. I
think a bank, I know Jeff

404
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.319
talked about stealing money from a bank
would be easy compared to walking into a

405
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.440
casino with a gun. At least
with a bank, all the tellers,

406
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.440
et cetera kind of know what to
do. Put the exploding pack of dye

407
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.599
in and away you go. If
you're that's stupid and criminal. But to

408
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.559
hold up a casino, you better
have an army of Brad Pitt types to

409
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.640
get it done. And this course
was not the case. I wonder if

410
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.599
Daniel Adam Bird'seye thirty nine years Old
of Cincinnati is mentally ill or drunk on

411
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:40.279
drugs or whatever. Because no one
could concoct a scheme where you would walk

412
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:44.000
into a casino with a gun,
go behind the cage, steal, put

413
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:47.640
in a sack of millions of dollars
and then walk out and no one's gonna

414
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:51.960
know. To me, that wasn't
much of a plan. So we'll see

415
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:56.039
what happens later today. Derepoint County
Sheriff Shane mckenrey. We have a call

416
00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:57.680
into him to see if he can
come on, but at this point he's

417
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:03.039
rather tight lipped till they decide how
to prosecute. And of course the prosecution

418
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.119
will take place in Dearborn County,
which can be extremely difficult, difficult on

419
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:14.160
individuals who use guns to commit crime. Unlike Hamilton County and Indiana takes itself

420
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:17.839
seriously when it comes to these kinds
of events, and I think a message

421
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:21.480
will be sent. Secondly, we
have coming up after one o'clock today,

422
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:26.200
the Great mo Egger. After two
o'clock has Warren Davidson, and we've tentatively

423
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.880
scheduled an interview with Jim Scott and
his wife sometime tomorrow. We're going to

424
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:34.599
see how that thing breaks out.
But I spoke to Donna, his wife,

425
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.160
Jim Scott's wife, Donna Scott,
and we're going to try to arrange

426
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:44.200
a time to to have an interview, mainly with her, but also Jim.

427
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.799
A note with interest at the Neil
Lucan, who runs who runs the

428
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:53.039
parade, remarked about a week ago
with the mayor, Aftab Pierival, that

429
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:59.119
it was the intent of Jim Scott
to appear as the honorary Grand Marshal.

430
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:03.160
And I'm told by his Donna,
his wife, that that's the plan at

431
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:08.119
this point. Of course, the
Red's opening day is March twenty eighth,

432
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:14.079
It's three weeks plus away. We'll
see what happens. Jim Scott's going to

433
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.759
make every effort that he can to
make it occur. They have a special

434
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.799
car, which is an older vintage
Pontiac. And I understand Jim Scott maybe

435
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:26.920
listening as I speak, and I
want to convey to Jim Scott, the

436
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.799
living legend, all the kind salutations
and respect that all of us in this

437
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.319
business that this signal has for Jim
Scott. In fact, everybody in radio

438
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.920
has great respect for Jim Scott and
it's impossible for one to determine the number

439
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:42.359
of agencies and the number of good
deeds Jim Scott has done over the years,

440
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.359
from the Salvation Army to the polio
to heart disease to the Freestore Food

441
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.720
Bank, whatever it is, Jim
Scott was always available to lend the weight

442
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:59.720
of his personality and so called fame
to assist charities. He began life as

443
00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:03.640
a boy with polio and now he's
ending life with als, which is a

444
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.680
tough road to hoe. And what
happened in the meantime has been fabulous.

445
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:12.319
Forty seven years in radio, and
thirty one of the forty seven years was

446
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:17.200
right here. In fact, Jim
Scott was so valuable in nineteen eighty four

447
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.480
that Randy Michaels, the legendary radio
broadcaster and owner. Randy Michaels bought an

448
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:29.200
entire station that had Jim Scott's contracts
so he could move Jim Scott to seven

449
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:34.559
hundred WLW. So you know,
each of us have two things in common.

450
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:38.079
Each of us have the day that
we're born, and each of us

451
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:42.200
have the day that we die.
And what we do in the meantime is

452
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:48.039
what we will be remembered for and
no one led a more productive life with

453
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.039
the skill set given to him than
Jim Scott. Led for forty seven years

454
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.480
in total radio, including thirty one
years right here as our morning man,

455
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:01.279
and he left on April third,
fifteen. So, believe it or not,

456
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:07.799
it's been about nine years since Jim
Scott left radio, and Mike McConnell

457
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.400
was handed at the baton and ran
forward for the last nine years. Mike

458
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.519
McConnell began here about nineteen eighty four
nineteen eighty five, had a bit of

459
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:20.680
a segue a WGN radio in Chicago
for three or four years, then came

460
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.000
back to be our morning man.
And there's no no one better at what

461
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:28.000
he does right now than Mike McConnell. So we want to honor Jim Scott

462
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:31.119
and do what he wants to have
done, and he would like to have

463
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:36.079
his story told by his wife,
Donna, and we're going to make that

464
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.960
effort to do it tomorrow. So
I'll let you know later tomorrow what's going

465
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:44.559
to happen with the living legend Jim
Scott, and how we can honor him

466
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:50.319
for the contributions he's made so freely
over the past forty seven years in radio

467
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:55.000
in thirty one years here. In
nineteen sixty eight, I was going back

468
00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:00.319
and forth to Xavier just before I
got married, and I listened to Jim

469
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:06.720
Scott every morning on SAI and I
got up about eight thirty eight thirty.

470
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:08.640
It was in the car by nine. Classes started at ten a little bit

471
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:14.200
earlier, and I would listen to
Jim Scott coming to and fro on WSAI,

472
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:17.480
along with Dusty Rhoades and Dave Ryan
Hart and Ron Britton, et cetera.

473
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.359
And I met him later that year, nineteen sixty eight, at some

474
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.319
outing somewhere. He was there.
I walked up and said, hey,

475
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:28.319
Jim, I listened to you every
day and he said thank you. And

476
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:30.480
what's your name? I said,
Bill Cunningham. He said what do you

477
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:31.319
want to do and I said,
well, I'm in laws, I'm in

478
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:34.359
college. I want to get to
law school. Eventually. He said,

479
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:36.559
hope you'll be a good lawyer.
And I said, Jim, I hoped

480
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:39.200
to be a good lawyer. And
then from sixty eight to nineteen eighty four,

481
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:43.880
when Jim Scott came here, I
started. In the summer of nineteen

482
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:46.920
eighty three, I was one of
the first to welcome Jim Scott to seven

483
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:52.960
hundred WLW. He was so valuable
at Randy Michael spot an entire group of

484
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.839
radio stations, so you can have
the contract to Jim Scott. He was

485
00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:00.480
the missing link, the missing piece
of that line up with Jim Scott and

486
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:07.839
Mike McConnell and Gary Burbank and Bob
Trump. He slash Chris Collinsworth, slash

487
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:12.960
Andy Furman and then me at night. That did I think so well between

488
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.599
the mid eighties and the late nineteen
nineties. And he's walking a tough road

489
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:21.360
right now. His mind is as
clear as a bell, but his body

490
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:25.119
is not working at all. And
hope to honor him tomorrow a little bit,

491
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:30.280
and I pray to God Almighty that
he will permit Jim Scott to do

492
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:34.400
well enough so in the Reds Opening
Day parade on Thursday, March the twenty

493
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.480
eighth, he'll be able to be
in the back of a convertible. I

494
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:40.320
hope the weather's going to be as
good as it is today and not on

495
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:44.519
Wednesday is going to have some bad
weather here, But nonetheless we hope the

496
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:47.840
weather on March twenty eighth is as
good as it is today, so Jim

497
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:52.480
Scott, the living legend, can
be properly honored, and he's so blessed

498
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:54.480
to have his wife, Donna at
his side. You know what it's like

499
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:58.800
to be a caregiver if you have
to go through that, wives or husbands

500
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:01.880
who care for their loved ones who
are passing away slowly, and that's always

501
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:06.639
the case with als. But we
hope to have an interview with Donna,

502
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.079
his wife, and Jim Scott tomorrow
about the same time, but that is

503
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:15.519
to be determined. After one o'clock

Trump to remain on Colorado's presidential ballot, rejecting a state Supreme Court decision that

508
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.639
barred him from the election because of
his involvement in the January sixth attack on

509
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:52.199
the US Capitol. ABC News senior
reporter Catherine Folds has Trump's reaction. He

510
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:55.599
posted on his social media platform,
Truth Social big win for America in all

511
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.360

of course, to react, as I'm

512
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:04.400
told by people close to him that
Trump will be addressing this. Of course,

513
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:07.039
this is something that Trump and his
advisors, his legal team expected,

514
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:13.880
given how the Justice has reacted during
those oral arguments. Meanwhile, his former

books, admits today he lied to prosecutors.

a Manhattan, New York courtroom where hepleted

518
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:30.559
guilty to two felon accounts of perjury. His plea is related to his testimony

519
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:34.760
over the size of former President Trump's
Fifth Avenue Penhouse apartment. Weiselberg admits he

520
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:38.320
lied when he downplayed his role in
the apartment's valuation and knowingly misled investigators about

521
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:43.039
his knowledge of the size of the
apartment. Weiselberg turned seventy seven in August

522

579
00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:10.480

country because of Caitlyn Clark. Well,

582
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:21.760
it's it's good for the league,
right You're taking the biggest star in college

583
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:24.559
basketball men or women, and you're
putting her in a league that needs a

584
00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:28.519
star, but a league that is
also growing. It's more mainstream than it's

585
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:31.639
ever been. And you're also putting
her in a sort of a basketball crazy

586
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:36.679
state that I think is going to
appreciate and be thrilled to enjoy what she

587
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:39.079
brings to the table. I think
it's going to be fascinating to see how

588
00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:42.519
she does, and I think it's
going to be fascinating to see how many

589
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:46.320
people who have watched her and made
her appointment viewing as a college basketball player

590
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:53.440
follow her to the WNBA. But
it's women's basketball has been ascending now for

591
00:41:53.840 --> 00:42:00.239
quite a while. Caitlyn Clark specifically
has accelerated that ascent, and now to

592
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:05.760
take it to the next level is
nothing but good for the WNBA. Absolutely,

593
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:08.480
and Indiana is only about three four
hundred miles from Iowa. I can

594
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:13.400
see their games might be sold out. I'm told by a friend of mine

595
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:16.880

season tickets like bats out of hell on

Easter Sunday morning, that they had
no attendance. Now they're going to have

597
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:24.599
attendance, and she's going to be
a big thing, assuming down the road

598
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:29.280
she succeeds. On the other hand, yeah, if she gets to Indiana

599
00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:32.360
and she doesn't, and that's a
different story. But nonetheless, up to

600
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:36.480
this point, it's been fabulous,
no doubt. There's a long list of

601
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.119
high profile college basketball players on the
men's side who got to the NBA and

602
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:43.559
didn't work out. So I don't
think we would hold it against her,

603
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:46.039
or we shouldn't at least hold it
against her to a larger degree than we

604
00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:50.480
do the men if she does fall
flat on her face. But I don't

605
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.280
know how you watch her and assume
that that's going to happen. I actually

606
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:57.480
watch games, I've actually watched her
play basketball. I have not watched a

607
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.639
woman's game. I don't know.
Appointment, Yes, I wanted to see

608
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:05.719
her. Last game started a little
afternoon yesterday and they beat Ohio State,

609
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:07.960
who is perceived to be one of
the second or third best teams in the

610
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:13.800
country after South Carolina. Yeah,
am I stupid to be following women's women's

611
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:16.239
and WNBA and college basketball? Watch
whatever makes you happy. It made me

612
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:19.639
happy to watch. I never thought
I would get to a point, or

613
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:22.800
we would get to a point.
I remember the National Championship game, which

614
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:28.400
was broadcast on ABC on a Sunday
last year. The Reds had played like

615
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:31.039
a one forty game, and we
stream out of the ballpark after the game,

616
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:36.360
go to the Holy Grail for a
postgame beverage, and everybody is watching

617
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:38.679
the women's National Championship game. And
it's not just on in the background,

618
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:44.239
it's people are focused in on it. And so I think there are more

619
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:47.960
people paying attention to women's college basketball
following the women's game that have. You

620
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:51.760
know, look, I mean the
maybe the coolest story in the sport.

621
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:57.719
That's not Caitlin clarkas South Carolina just
went through a season completely undefeated. Paige

622
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:00.159
Beckers, who you know two years
ago, three years ago, that's the

623
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.360
biggest star in the sport, is
still playing college basketball for a top ten

624
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:07.599
Yukon team and chat to me,
is as much fun to watch as Caitlin

625
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:12.760
Clark She's obviously not as prolific a
score. She's coming off significant knee surgery.

626
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.400
But you know, twenty five years
ago, these things weren't happening.

627
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:20.320
You know, I remember when Rebecca
Lobo and Yukon became a national story.

628
00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:23.079
Right, well, the games weren't
televised. You had to work hard to

629
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:25.440
see him. We didn't know a
lot about Rebecca Lobo, and they were

630
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:30.239
dominating people because there were no other
stars. Now there are other stars,

631
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.280
there's other great teams, and people
are paying attention, which I think is

632
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:37.239
cool. Does Ay Harry ass Man
like Tony Bender if to turn in his

633
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:42.679
male man card if he wants to
watch the girls play basketball? Tony Bender

634
00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:45.119
doesn't want to do that, Okay, well then he doesn't have to.

635
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:50.079
H If you like women's basketball,
watch women's basketball. If you don't like

636
00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:54.119
women's basketball, don't watch women's basketball. I mean, just like what you

637
00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:58.360
like. And if you don't like
what I like, that's fine too.

638
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:01.639
When it comes to college each male
basketball today, there used to be teams

639
00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:06.559
you would follow three or four years. You see had players Pete Michael and

640
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:09.039
Kenyon Martin and Steve Logan. You
watch them as freshman sophomore, junior.

641
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:14.559
That's done. In fact, men's
college hoops right now. I love the

642
00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:16.599
teams that you had three or four
years to Kentucky's, the UC's, the

643
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:22.679
Dukes in the North Carolina watching and
now that's done. No good great college

644
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:25.800
male player is going to play four
years anywhere because the riches are way beyond

645
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:30.000
the ability. So that could fill
the niche you can watch a player and

646
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:34.440
develop over four well, yes,
but I would also say that the nil

647
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:38.480
available to college basketball players has I
think incentivized them to stick around. Zach

648
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:44.599
Edy was the player of the Year
in college basketball last season back with Purdue.

649
00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:46.639
This season, Oscar Sheebwey was the
national player of the Year at the

650
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:51.400
University of Kentucky and came back because
look, if you're going to be a

651
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:53.119
top ten lottery pick, you're going
to job to the next level. But

652
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:59.320
there are a lot of players for
whom, especially in areas where people really

653
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:00.840
care about college basketball, where you
go, Okay, I can take my

654
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:05.559
shot and maybe go in the second
round of the NBA Draft and have to

655
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:08.599
make a team, or I can
cash in on who I am as a

656
00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:13.440
college basketball player and make money that
way. And so I think in that

657
00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:17.480
regard, it's actually really good for
the sport and IL. I think nils

658
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:22.719
great for the sport as a general
rule. But you're gonna have more players

659
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.480
who it makes more financial sense for
them to stay in college, and then

660
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:30.039
you're gonna have more players who establish
themselves as stars in college and don't jump

661
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:34.920
immediately to the next level. That
can only be good for college basketball.

662
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:37.719
I monitor everything all the time.
You got Joey Vado out there. I'm

663
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:42.480
listening to some of the sports talk
over the weekend. Can't Joey Vado be

664
00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:45.920
a Red again? Every bat he
gets is one taken away from one of

665
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:50.000
the Reds burgeoning stars Joey Vado,
assuming he doesn't pick up, how about

666
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:52.719
an assistant hitting coach? How about
him and the dugout? How about him

667
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:55.199
in the locker room. I don't
think a forty year old I think hit

668
00:46:55.280 --> 00:47:00.320
like two hundred last year coming off
that shoulder difficulties, etc. Going to

669
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:02.880
take at bats away from some other
and Carson or so one of the other

670
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:06.960
players, whoever's going to play first
base? Do you agree that Joey Vada

671
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:09.000
should not be signed as a player, but should be signed as an assistant

672
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:12.880
coach of some type. Well,
if he has an interest in that capacity,

673
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:15.360
sure, I mean, first of
all, the reigning National League Say

674
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:20.880
Young Award winner is still out there
and Blake Snell. So if he doesn't

675
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:23.360
have a team, to me,
it's far from surprising that Joe Evado doesn't

676
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:27.079
have a team. We all love
Joe Evado. At the end of the

677
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:30.280
day, what he is is forty
years old. Over his last one hundred

678
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:32.599
and fifty six games, he's batted
two oh six. Last year's agains.

679
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:37.679
Last year against right hands he hit
won ninety six. He plays first base

680
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:42.280
and frankly not well, and he's
been hurt a bunch. What about that

681
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:46.480
profile? What about that profile would
suggest that it's a shock that he doesn't

682
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:52.000
have a job as an active player. Now, if if you're clinging to

683
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:55.400
the idea that you're going to get
the Joe Evado of old, that's based

684
00:47:55.440 --> 00:48:00.079
on what because we have decades of
evidence that would sugge. By the time

685
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.840
he hit forty, you're pretty much
done. Like on radio, you're done

686
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:06.920
at sixty five or seventy and in
twenty twenty one, or if you're like

687
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:08.559
me, you were done at like
twenty six, that's true. Uh.

688
00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:12.480
In twenty twenty one, Joey came
off the injured list and hit a bunch

689
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:15.519
of home runs. That's awesome.
That's the part of his game that's not

690
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:20.960
likely to age well at all.
So forget the name, forget what he's

691
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:25.039
accomplished, forget what you think about
his possible Hall of Fame candidacy. Go

692
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:29.400
to Baseball Reference dot com. Look
at those numbers and ask yourself, is

693
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:32.280
it a shock that the guy who
put up these numbers isn't available now?

694
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:36.800
If he were to say, Look, I want to come back and mentor

695
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:38.880
players, I want to come back, and I want to do some broadcasting,

696
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:43.480
and I want to do some consulting
and advising and get on the field

697
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:45.599
and spring training and work with guys. Well, there's not a team in

698
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:49.400
the sport that couldn't benefit from that, but the Reds. The Reds have

699
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:53.159
the history. The Reds have the
history. Sure, And so now it's

700
00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:57.719
how interested is he in the role? I don't know. Look, he's

701
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:01.039
still telling people he wants to play, and I can certainly respect the fact

702
00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:04.760
that he thinks he can play.
And there's a big part of me that

703
00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:07.440
wants to see him get a chance
somewhere to prove people that he can play.

704
00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:12.880
As a Reds fan, I'm not
willing to give him that chance here

705
00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:15.280
because the idea of this season should
be to go win the World Series,

706
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:20.119
and to do that, you're putting
the best twenty six guys on your roster.

707
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:23.679
I don't think Joey Vado on the
current iteration of the Reds would be

708
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:28.079
considered one of the best twenty six
players. Second Ly, Trevor Bauer is

709
00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:31.280
still out there. It's unbelievable to
think about this, but in the history

710
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:36.280
of the Reds, they've had one
Young Award winner. Trevor Bauer has been

711
00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:40.400
completely vindicated, not as personal peccadillos
as far as consensual sex with women,

712
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:45.719
but rather the fact that the woman
who began all this and the other woman

713
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:51.880
lied repeatedly about Trevor Bauer. Would
the Reds make a mistake in signing Trevor

714
00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:57.480
Bauer. I don't know a lot
about the situations that Trevor Bauer found himself

715
00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:01.679
in. I want to know more
from Trevor about the situations he found himself

716
00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:07.159
in before I would be comfortable adding
him to my team and bringing the attention

717
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:13.239
that would come with it. Uh, that's not a no. I just

718
00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:16.679
Trevor has been in a lot of
situations that I have questions about. I

719
00:50:16.679 --> 00:50:21.840
can't get to the bottom of them
unless he starts talking about them from a

720
00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:25.360
peer pitching perspective. He hasn't pitched
in a big league game since twenty twenty

721
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:30.039
one. That's not insignificant. I
certainly believe that there are a few people

722
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:35.679
as competitive or as devoted to keeping
themselves in shape as Trevor. But I

723
00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:40.199
want to know from him, why
have you repeatedly found yourself in these situations

724
00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:45.079
where multiple women have accused you of
doing some things that are unbecoming. He

725
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:52.119
may have ultimately a very valid answer, and one that would make me comfortable

726
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:57.000
with adding him to my team.
But until I hear from him, I'm

727
00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:00.440
not putting a contract in front of
him. And his lawyers have told don't

728
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:04.320
speak about it because of defamation.
Some woman could say, well, he

729
00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:07.519
lied about me in this press conference
with the Reds. Therefore, I'm going

730
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:10.119
to assume him again for defamation of
my character, whatever character she had.

731
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:13.199
Yeah, and I don't know he's
going to say, I'm not going to

732
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:15.920
talk about it anymore. Because I'm
told not to. Now where are we?

733
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:19.199
Well, that's a Trevor Bauer problem. If I'm Nick Crawl or Phil

734
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:22.760
Castelini or Bob Castelini, I'm concerned
about my club. I'm concerned about what

735
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:25.559
this is going to do to the
makeup of my club. I'm concerned about

736
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:29.639
what this is going to do.
I think the pr pushback would be pretty

737
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:34.079
minimal. But before I added him
to my organization, I would have questions

738
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:38.639
private discussion. Is tell me he
had a little situation here that didn't metastasize,

739
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:44.239
but he had two and Southern Cow
that did matestaicize in these ugly charges.

740
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:47.159
And according to many, he's allows
the teammate, whether the Dodgers or

741
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:51.320
the Reds. A lot of some
people loved him, other people hated him.

742
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:53.119
In the clubhouse, the clubhouse of
the Dodgers didn't want them. Well,

743
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:54.639
look, all I know is this, when he was here, he

744
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:59.039
want to sign Young Award and when
he got terrific in the postseason. And

745
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:02.920
if I'm that and no baggage,
who doesn't want that? I need to

746
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.960
know more about the baggage. I
need to know why. And look,

747
00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:14.400
I think his I think unfortunately his
stance is about the way the sport has

748
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:16.679
run. The commissioner. I don't
think that's helped him. No, I

749
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:22.440
think his willingness to be overly honest, I frankly don't think that's helped him.

750
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:28.000
But again, like all I care
about is the performance. But before

751
00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:30.599
I bring you into perform, you
got to answer some questions. And the

752
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:35.360
crop the current Cropper Reds players had
no most of them had nothing to do

753
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:37.480
with Trevor Bauer didn't know much about
him. The young players, they weren't

754
00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:40.199
here three four years ago, and
they didn't know how great it was that

755
00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:44.400
game, the pitching against the Braves
in the playoffs, it was awesome.

756
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:46.800
And in the month of September,
the shortened season, he put the team

757
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:50.360
on his back. I mean he
pitched him into the playoffs. I think

758
00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:54.960
aside from Tyler Stevenson and Jonathan India, I'm not sure there's anybody on the

759
00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:00.840
current roster who was here back then. So but but again, I as

760
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:04.559
somebody who I've read a lot about
Trevor Bauer, and every time I read

761
00:53:04.559 --> 00:53:07.480
about him, I have more questions. Well, then you got to answer

762
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:09.440
some questions before I put a contract
in front of you. I'm not sure

763
00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:13.519
Bob Castellaney wants to do it.
He's old school. I'm not sure he

764
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:15.679
wants to deal with it. I
can understand why. All right, Moe,

765
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:17.239
thank you very much, Thank you. Good We haven't talked about you

766
00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:21.559
see, and Xavier not in the
big show. It's maybe it's season's not

767
00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:23.760
over. Is it a trend?
Well, look, you see hasn't played

768
00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:29.239
in the NCAA tournament since twenty nineteen, and Xavier's played in one NCAA tournament

769
00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:32.119
since twenty eighteen, So it's a
trend. Unfortunately, it's becoming the norm

770
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:37.480
that selection Sunday comes and neither school's
name appears on the screen. But both

771
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.599
teams have two regular season games remaining. Both won this weekend, Yes,

772
00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:45.199
and both can maybe do some damage
in their respective conference tournaments. And Zager

773
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:50.320
beat UC again in the NIT No, no, this is yes, Xavier,

774
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:52.440
you talk about a trend? Xavier
beat you see again? Yes,

775
00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:59.039
again and again and again. Thank
you. Why do you have to bring

776
00:53:59.079 --> 00:54:02.920
that up again and again and again? Thank you? O. All right,

777
00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:08.039
Bill, let's continue with more seven
hundred WLW. A good day starts

778
00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:15.800
with a good morning. Here's Wanda
She's not what you'd call a morning person.

779
00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:20.280
That's why she starts her day with
Mike McConnell. Good Morning. Mike

780
00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:23.400
wakes her up and PEPs her up
with the latest news, weather, traffic,

781
00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:29.719
investment news, and he is unmistakable
Mike McConnell. Char and look at

tailed. Thanks to Mike mcconnall. Mike

00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:17.360
same again after today. Thank you
for listening to the home of the Array.

792
00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:22.719
Seven hundred W Well and W.
That was Jim Scott. He retired

793
00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:27.880
today after more than fifty years in
radio. His morning show was part of

794
00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:30.679
many of our morning routines. Not
on Your Side reporter Zach Pitts was there

795
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:36.400
for Scott's final sign off at seven
hundred W. Well, WRI, it's

796
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:39.559
time to talk to Detective Lisa Smith. If you grew up in Cincinnati,

797
00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:45.920
you've probably heard his voice. Jim
Scott hosted wlw's morning show for decades,

798
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:50.320
but today he's turning off the mic
and turning off that alarm clock he's had

799
00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:53.039
to set for two thirty am every
week. I really am going to enjoy

800
00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:57.239
a little bit more sleep. By
the time you get home, you don't

801
00:55:57.239 --> 00:56:00.400
have much energy to do other things. So I spend time with my wife

802
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:05.119
exercise, and they'll have all that
extra time when the new host takes over,

803
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:07.440
Mike McConnell, who you will be
talking with now in the future.

804
00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:13.000
This show has been Jim's baby for
so long, you know it's initially it'll

805
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:15.679
be I guess we'll kind of keep
up the way things are for a while,

806
00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:17.639
and then over time we'll kind of
evolve it. Today, the final

807
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:22.280
good Morning, in the final goodbye, ending his show symbolically to the tune

808
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:25.840
of the Beatles Sergeant Pepper. They
sing it twice. They're singing at the

809
00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:30.519
beginning and they're letting people know,
here comes a show. And then the

810
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:34.519
last cut in the album, it's
called the reprise, and that's where they

811
00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:37.320
come in and they say, I
hope you have enjoyed the show. I

812
00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:49.440
just wondered, how do we do? That's a nod of the head,

813
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:52.360
will do. Thank you, Thank
you very much for listening. Zach Pitts

814
00:56:52.559 --> 00:57:02.960
nine on your side. Hello quiet, I'm Scots. I'm broadcasting full boned.

815
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:08.599
I'll say about a week ago,
Neil Luke and after a pure of

816
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:14.760
all et cetera announced the Grand Marshals
for the parade. The honorary Grand Marshal

817
00:57:14.840 --> 00:57:19.360
is Jim Scott. The correct Grand
Marshalls are always former Reds players. Pokey

818
00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:22.360
Reese is going to be there.
Metri Young hilarious. Pokey Reese has a

819
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:27.639
world series ring with the Boston Red
Sox, you might recall. That's correct,

820
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:30.599
And Jim Scott's the honorary Marshall.
I spoke to his wife Donna this

821
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:37.199
morning. We're going to schedule for
tomorrow and interview with her and Jim Scott

822
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:43.440
one o'clock tomorrow, and they spent
thirty one years here and forty seven in

823
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:47.880
total radio. And Randy Michaels thought
so much of him, Randy bought the

824
00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:52.880
radio station where Jim Scott was working
to buy the contract so you could start

825
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:59.360
here in April of nineteen eighty four, and he was here until April of

826
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:05.719
twenty fifteen. I can't believe it's
been nine years ninety either mean neither,

827
00:58:05.840 --> 00:58:07.440
but we don't honor those who have
gone before. It is marked with a

828
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:13.639
sign of faith sufficiently. But he
is the honorary Grand Marshal of this year's

829
00:58:14.760 --> 00:58:17.920
Finley Market Parade, which starts three
weeks from Thursday. That's correct. We

830
00:58:19.000 --> 00:58:22.960
hope we have weather because Jim's going
to be in a convertible and Donna tells

831
00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:27.679
me that he's going to use all
the ability he can to actually be the

832
00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:32.280
Grand Marshal. And they got a
nice old I think Pontiac convertible, nice

833
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:36.719
for Jim Scott to ride in.
I'll always think about him, will he

834
00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:42.159
as a guy that when he started
on the old WSAI thirteen sixty, when

835
00:58:42.920 --> 00:58:46.119
he was one of the Kings over
there two years years ago that he went

836
00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:51.679
and knocked on people's doors saying,
I'm Jim Scott. I'm working on thirteen

837
00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:54.760
sixty WSAI in the morning, playing
the hits. Why don't you get me

838
00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:59.639
a listen? He went door to
door like he was running for office or

839
00:58:59.679 --> 00:59:04.639
something. As a candidate, he
had hundreds of cars. That's amazing to

840
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:07.719
be. He go into restaurants and
walk around the tables. Managers that come

841
00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:10.519
up to him and say, sir, what are you doing? Is I'm

842
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:14.760
Jim Scott, Oh, Jim Scott? U s A I? And he

843
00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:19.519
would hand cards to people say hey, listen tomorrow and a lot of people

844
00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:22.000
at this station. You need a
lot of money. Yeah, you do

845
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:23.679
that these days. If I get
arrested, get arrested, Jam Scott.

846
00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:30.679
But as was announced several months back, he's developed als Luke Gerrigg's disease and

847
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:37.239
that he's closer to the finished in
the beginning. And we want to honor

848
00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:40.280
Jim Scott as the Findy Market Parade
Honorary Marshall. Amen. So we're going

849
00:59:40.360 --> 00:59:44.840
to schedule an interview tomorrow to see
how it goes. I spoke to Donna,

850
00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:49.559
his wife this morning who says caregiver
special people are caregivers that have a

851
00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:53.320
loved one that must be must be
tended to in the last part of their

852
00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:58.880
life. We share two things in
common, one as a birth and secondly

853
00:59:58.920 --> 01:00:01.000
as a death. And what you
do in the meantime is up to you.

854
01:00:01.519 --> 01:00:06.719
And Jim Scott as a boy,
contracted polio and in his last few

855
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:10.880
years als disease and Sega's simply not
fair. Amen, Hey give me some

856
01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:15.679
sports, will he the stood reporters
of Proud Service, every local Tame Star

857
01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:21.079
heating and air conditioning dealers, Thamestar
Quality You cond Field in Cincinnati called the

858
01:00:21.079 --> 01:00:24.519
experts at Preferred Home Comfort five one, three, eight, nine to two

859
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:30.800
h V A C spot. How
about this? Uh huh, this is

860
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:36.039
pretty good. Go ahead. I
carried a Grippo's bag and my Saints Savior

861
01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:40.880
Golden Bears basketball Jim bag because of
Jim Scott, took us to the Coyo

862
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:45.920
Championship finals and we won. And
that's from Jeff Beckham. There you go

863
01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:50.679
is the brother of David Beckham,
and Jeff is a great trucker in the

864
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:52.920
Tri State. How about you go, Willie? How about that? That's

865
01:00:52.920 --> 01:00:57.280
pretty many thousands of people have that
had that Grippo bag in the back pocket,

866
01:00:57.559 --> 01:01:00.800
all of them. Thank you and
Jim Scott, he's listening. I'm

867
01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:06.199
told Jim Scott, thank you,
and we'll be with you tomorrow and I'll

868
01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:09.840
visit you tomorrow afternoon. SAG give
me some sports well. The Reds update

869
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:14.679
to Andrew Abbott starts today for those
Reds as they meet the Oakland A's coverage

870
01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:17.800
two thirty five of the Arnel Carriers
Inside Pitch on Fox Sports thirteen sixty.

871
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:23.039
The Reds are back on seven hundred
WLW Thursday night against the Cubs, twenty

872
01:01:23.079 --> 01:01:29.920
four days until opening Day. Nicolodolo, we'll see a specialist today for that

873
01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:32.280
left tibia. What kind of problem
does he have? More tests on the

874
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:38.760
leg. He experienced soreness after a
side bullpen session on Thursday. Fidolo is

875
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:43.239
a young man, right, I
don't know. He's got something's wrong with

876
01:01:44.199 --> 01:01:49.159
It's the bone in the leg and
the outcome will likely determine whether he can

877
01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:52.280
be ready on time for the start
of the season. Jonathan India is on

878
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:58.039
track to be ready for opening Day
coming off that foot injury. Matt McClain

879
01:01:58.559 --> 01:02:02.440
is back at workouts today, ramping
up things, and after suffering that oblique

880
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:08.000
injury last week, we need him. He could be making his game debut

881
01:02:08.039 --> 01:02:13.840
in the Cactus League sometime this week, and Johnny Gomes what back with the

882
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:17.559
Reds what as a guest as a
Reds instructor for the week. Johnny gooms,

883
01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:22.039
I do he like my idea of
Joey Vado, who doesn't appear to

884
01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:27.199
have shall we say, the ability
to hit baseball as much anymore? But

885
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:30.559
how about him as an assistant hitting
coach in the locker room, in the

886
01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:36.360
dugout? Any about that? He
has takes away from the current talent,

887
01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:39.079
and they've got plenty of infielders and
plenty of first basement right direct, Yes,

888
01:02:39.119 --> 01:02:44.159
I think so? And so would
Vado accept a position as assistant hitting

889
01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:46.280
coach and being the dugout? Is
he willing to do that? I would

890
01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:50.400
probably say yes. Let's find out, uniform, let's find out, let's

891
01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:55.719
do a little broadcast call mister Castellini. Right now, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow,

892
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:01.920
speaking with ESPN's Ben Baby, projects
a return to throwing during the Bengals

893
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:08.199
OTAs coming up in May. Of
course, Caitlin Clark became the all time

894
01:03:08.280 --> 01:03:14.880
leading scorer in college basketball history yesterday, breaking pistol Pete Maravich's fifty four year

895
01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:17.519
old record. Willie against Ohio State
for the first time in my life,

896
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:23.400
I had appointment television to watch a
women's college basketball game, and I watched

897
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:28.559
most of that game. Beating Ohio
State. Unbelievable. I've never Chigado for

898
01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:34.159
the WNBA what Bird and Magic did
for the NBA. Correct. Let's see

899
01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:37.400
Zach Wheeler and the Phillies are an
agreement on a three year, one hundred

900
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:43.119
and twenty six million dollar contract extension. He was set to become a free

901
01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:46.880
agent in the fall thirteen and six
last year. Pretty good Desmond Claude,

902
01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:52.039
who poured in thirty six points the
other night against Georgetown. Hopefully you can

903
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:59.320
do that Wednesday against Butler and next
Saturday. This Saturday against Marquette Big East

904
01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:03.199
Honor Roll. Speaking of Marquette,
star guard Tyler Kohlik will miss the final

905
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:09.719
two games of the regular season because
of an oblique injury. So Kohlik is

906
01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:14.360
out again against Xavier this Saturday.
Well, well, I don't want to

907
01:04:14.400 --> 01:04:18.280
wish anyone ill, but if they
can beat Butler and then beat Marquette,

908
01:04:19.239 --> 01:04:24.599
then go to the Big East and
win two games. There is Xavier in

909
01:04:24.719 --> 01:04:29.039
the Big Show. Yes beat I
would say, yes, beat Marquette and

910
01:04:29.079 --> 01:04:31.320
then go maybe beat Connecticut in the
second round. It looks like they might.

911
01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:34.880
They might be playing to Paul in
the first round, which they handled

912
01:04:34.880 --> 01:04:38.960
in pretty good to pay you know
for two games this year and they stink

913
01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:42.119
markt what time they're going to play
to? You know? I have no

914
01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:46.239
idea? Please continue. Marquez Warwick

918
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:05.559
week's AP Joe KA College Basketball Poll. You can up to second, Produce

919
01:05:05.639 --> 01:05:10.960
third, Kentucky fifteenth, Dayton falls
to twenty fifth, but they're still in.

920
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:15.199
How about Jason Kelsey of UC just
about rated to mention that will least

921
01:05:15.239 --> 01:05:19.719
Super Bowl champion, seven time Pro
Bowl center and former UC Bearcats standout Jason

922
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:28.159
Kelcey emotional today after he announced his
retirement after thirteen seasons all with the Philadelphia

923
01:05:28.159 --> 01:05:31.239
Eagles. He's a Hall of Famer, right, Yes, he's gonna get

924
01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:34.960
a gold jacket just like his brother. Maybe they'll go in at the same

925
01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:41.280
time one of these days, maybe
Travis will go in as mister Taylor Swift?

926
01:05:41.679 --> 01:05:45.559
What about that one? Or she
wants a prenup. NFL free agency

927
01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:51.880
starts next week. One guy that
was on probably many teams free agent lists

928
01:05:53.519 --> 01:05:58.840
was five time Pro Bowl receiver Mike
Evans. But mister Evans and the Tampa

929
01:05:58.840 --> 01:06:01.199
Bay Bucks are in agreement today on
a two year, fifty two million dollar

930
01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:08.719
deal thirty five MILLI guaranteed emans he's
not going anywhere. Well, what about

931
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:11.039
t Higgins? What can you tell
me about him? Oh, he's getting

932
01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:15.199
franchise tagged. Can they say the
interesting term guaranteed bonus Layton contract with him?

933
01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:17.880
They got, they got a few
weeks yet for that. Got to

934
01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:21.039
see what happened to shout the dough
down there at pay Corp Stadium, dough

935
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:24.320
at the Ray and the media.
And what about Matt McClain, I know

936
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:29.480
you talk about his latch or I
mean obleak. Obleak should be back in

937
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:34.360
workouts see why he started workouts today, could make his Cactus League debut sometime

938
01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:38.880
this week. We'd like him to
play this year like he played last year.

939
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:45.320
Before he heard his oblique Well can
you spell oblique? O B L

940
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:49.400
L I q U E. I
think that's it. But they need him

941
01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:54.400
badly. It's right over there where
I'm pointing. I don't point there.

942
01:06:54.599 --> 01:06:59.960
Okay, what about Trevor Bauer.
I have no idea. Probably who knows

943
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:05.320
he's got he's He's in need of
a team like Joey Vado many Thoughvo did

944
01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:11.280
say over the weekend one team gave
him a contract to offer, but I

945
01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:13.760
don't. I don't know he's at
the Angels. I have no idea.

946
01:07:14.039 --> 01:07:16.880
I don't know so, but you're
right. I mean, David Bell's got

947
01:07:17.199 --> 01:07:21.519
more. I don't know who has
more assistant coaches now, Zach Taylor or

948
01:07:21.599 --> 01:07:26.440
David Bell. But why not put
Vado in there? According to some,

949
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:29.280
he's an expert when it comes to
him. He knows how to hit.

950
01:07:29.519 --> 01:07:32.440
He said he talk Ben League MVP. Benson was was, yeah, he

951
01:07:32.559 --> 01:07:35.280
was out of baseball. To Joey
Vado got a hold of bench. Correct.

952
01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:38.920
Probably a few of them like that. On the team got tips from

953
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:43.440
Joey. You know, you see
like those like scenes from television shows or

954
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:47.440
movies where like people are playing chess
in a little park. I'd love to

955
01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:50.280
do that. I go to a
park and go play chess with some people

956
01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:55.400
I love. Yeah, that'd be
great. Maybe come here to the Great

957
01:07:55.440 --> 01:08:00.599
American Ballpark and maybe a Red's ambassador. I know David I would like to

958
01:08:00.639 --> 01:08:03.320
have him. But the problem is, Joey thinks he can still play baseball.

959
01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:08.039
Now, what do you say he's
hitting on a ninety five against right

960
01:08:08.039 --> 01:08:11.480
handers. I have no idea.
Will Hey, I'm I'm not judging Joey

961
01:08:11.559 --> 01:08:15.480
Vado. Well what, I'm no
baseball expert. How many guys can play

962
01:08:15.480 --> 01:08:17.560
first base and the Crawl all of
them? Nick Krawl can do that.

963
01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:23.600
I think the better mister Castellini,
is to say, you know what,

964
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:28.840
Joey, when you are done playing, get you. They're going to put

965
01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.560
a statue up down there. How
about Barry Lark? I want Barry Larkin

966
01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:34.520
to get a statue. I hope
I get one too. They'll probably have

967
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:38.439
one of everybody because how many guys
have done this in the history of the

968
01:08:38.520 --> 01:08:43.520
Reds. You're ready for this right, MVP nineteen ninety five, World Series

969
01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:46.920
Ring nineteen ninety and a Hall of
Famer. Yeah, how many have done

970
01:08:46.960 --> 01:08:51.079
that? Not many of the statues
up there? Correct, you got Bench,

971
01:08:51.880 --> 01:08:59.319
you have Rose, Perez and Robinson, but he didn't make it with

972
01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:01.399
the Reds. Met it with the
Orioles. Correct. And as far as

973
01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:06.600
being a hometown boy, Pete Rose
and Barry Larkin, right, that's it.

974
01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:12.880
How about Barry Larkin's statue? Then
a few years later a Joey Vodo

975
01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:16.279
statue, get Tom tushe ready to
go, and that may be it.

976
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:21.960
I don't know when's the next one. I don't know. I mean,

977
01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:29.159
I Marty doesn't he have one?
I know, Joe Marty, I don't

978
01:09:29.199 --> 01:09:32.279
know. I don't know. I
don't either. I don't know. But

979
01:09:32.399 --> 01:09:39.239
as far as players, you've got
to go Barry Larkin right and down the

980
01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:45.680
road Joey Voto when he's in Cooperstown. Correct, But I think Barry Larkin

981
01:09:45.439 --> 01:09:48.159
how to get a statue? Am
I right or wrong? I agree with

982
01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:51.560
you. Let's see what happens.
Yep. I'd say, get me out

983
01:09:51.560 --> 01:09:56.840
of the Studge report. But we're
gonna between now and Red's opening day.

984
01:09:57.840 --> 01:10:01.239
We hope that Jim Scott can take
it as the honorary Grand Marshal of the

985
01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:05.119
Findley Market Parade under the leadership of
Neil Luken. Is he related to Charlie

986
01:10:05.159 --> 01:10:09.439
Lucan? I think those two guys
are related. No, we'll have to

987
01:10:09.439 --> 01:10:14.560
call Chazz and find out. I'll
call you know. He's he's lobbying somewhere.

988
01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:16.840
He's lobbying. He needs a statue
somewhere. He got to be a

989
01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:19.920
statue. Him out in front of
eight of one Plump Street, that's for

990
01:10:19.960 --> 01:10:26.039
sure. Let me at Joey Vado
statue and give me a Charlie Lucan statue,

991
01:10:27.199 --> 01:10:29.560
Now, wouldn't that be something?
How about this? And Haiti,

992
01:10:29.600 --> 01:10:33.000
did you see this story? The
gangs and the Port of Prince decided to

993
01:10:34.159 --> 01:10:40.479
assault the only penitentiary. Yeah,
they've ripped the jail open and let all

994
01:10:40.479 --> 01:10:43.960
the let all the criminals out run
one thousand of them. Great and the

995
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:46.960
army and the police were killed in
the process. The gangs control Port of

996
01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:50.760
Prints say get me out in a
huge report. Much how much do we

997
01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:58.479
send them more than they deserve?
Warren Christensen is coming up. Christensen's coming

998
01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:02.479
up next segment. Please go ahead
Willia and Hounnter of Kentucky firefighter Bryce Cardon.

999
01:11:03.479 --> 01:11:08.680
He was the hero that rescued the
woman driver of that tractor trailer dangling

1000
01:11:08.720 --> 01:11:12.920
over that bridge above the Ohio River
Friday in beautiful Louisville. And may God

1001
01:11:13.039 --> 01:11:16.399
bless Jim Scott. Amen, we
leave you with the immortal words of the

1002
01:11:16.520 --> 01:11:24.000
Stood Report. Jim Scott, mister
nice guy, mister oh sure, I'll

1003
01:11:24.039 --> 01:11:27.600
help your charity. I'll go to
the hospital and see your kid. You

1004
01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:32.039
believe any of that crap. This
guy is no more a liberal do gooder

1005
01:11:32.359 --> 01:11:39.079
than than I am. This is
a Ronald Reagan anti tree hugger. The

1006
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:43.640
only twelve step program he believes in
is twelve beers to open and consume.

1007
01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:47.520
This guy has nothing but a skirt
chasing stay up late at night, hard

1008
01:11:47.680 --> 01:11:50.439
drinking. I'm gonna tell you,
mister, Jim Scott, you know why

1009
01:11:50.479 --> 01:11:56.520
we put you back on seven hundred
WLW because I heard John Wink. That

1010
01:11:56.680 --> 01:12:01.079
was nineteen eighty four. Randy Michaels
Great, the founder of this radio station.

1011
01:12:01.600 --> 01:12:06.479
He had rather that was tongue in
cheek and prime tuted remarks circa nineteen

1012
01:12:06.600 --> 01:12:13.199
eighty four. That'll be he bought
ninety four point one so Jim Scott's contract

1013
01:12:13.279 --> 01:12:15.800
would be here. Then he spends
the next year or two ripping on Jim

1014
01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:19.199
Scott. Now, who would ever
do that except Randy Michaels. You got

1015
01:12:19.239 --> 01:12:25.000
a point there. Randy Michaels himself
is a living legend, that's for sure.

1016
01:12:25.119 --> 01:12:30.199
Let's continue with more Arren Davidson his
next at your Home of the Reds

1017
01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:33.520
and the Home of Jim Scott,
the living Legend. News Radio seven hundred

1018
01:12:33.840 --> 01:12:42.800
WLD over you, George Driver's Sea, the waits at the Cincinnati Auto Expo,

1019
01:12:44.640 --> 01:12:47.520
Billy Cunningham, the great American.
Of course, Congressman Warren Davidson been

1020
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:50.760
in the House about seven or eight
years. He's in positions of leadership.

1021
01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:55.760
He went to West Point, served
in the military, got a master's degree

1022
01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:59.600
from Notre Dame South Bend, Indiana. Elected a congress about seven or eight

1023
01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:02.479
years, took over from John Bayner. He's a member of the Freedom Caucus,

1024
01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:06.560
one of the leaders. And once
again Congressman Warren Davidson. Welcome to

1025
01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:11.119
the Bill Cunningham Show. And before
we get into the substance of matters,

1026
01:13:11.119 --> 01:13:15.800
once again, the Republicans in the
House have kicked the can down the road.

1027
01:13:15.840 --> 01:13:20.760
There's a great phrase of delaying this, implementing it like a CR and

1028
01:13:20.840 --> 01:13:26.239
I know that is something that you
are viscerally disapproving of, but nonetheless it

1029
01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:30.279
happens. Can you tell the American
people why whenever one of these crs come

1030
01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:34.840
up that mainly Republicans continue to agree
with Democrats simply to kick the can down

1031
01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:39.560
the road and worry about it later. Yeah. I always tell people be

1032
01:13:39.640 --> 01:13:43.800
careful what you wish for. When
you say I want more bipartisanship. The

1033
01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:46.600
most bipartisan thing in Congress is spending
more money than we have. That's how

1034
01:13:46.600 --> 01:13:50.840
we're thirty four trillion in debt and
ruin it about a trillion dollars every hundred

1035
01:13:50.920 --> 01:13:56.119
days. So that is not going
well. And unfortunately, whenever you say

1036
01:13:56.239 --> 01:14:00.199
CR, that's like the status quo
is fine, Yeah, let's continue this

1037
01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:04.159
course. The sad thing is is
that the delay is also they can spend

1038
01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:08.119
even more money. And you go
back to last May, and at least

1039
01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:12.159
we had a plan that said we
were going to spend less money this year

1040
01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:15.920
than we spent last year. But
all the big spenders have drug it out

1041
01:14:15.239 --> 01:14:20.119
and here we are still dragging it
out, and also that they can load

1042
01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:24.079
it up with even more spending.
It's a bad plan. Well, I

1043
01:14:24.199 --> 01:14:30.479
watched a CNBC Squak Box with on
Friday morning with Joe Kernan, who,

1044
01:14:30.560 --> 01:14:33.800
as you know, from Cincinnati,
and the United States national debt right now

1045
01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:40.920
is thirty four point four trillion as
of Wednesday. It is rising at a

1046
01:14:40.960 --> 01:14:45.239
faster clip as it grows. It's
now increasing by one trillion dollars every one

1047
01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:50.359
hundred days. And before the recent
uptick about eight months ago, it was

1048
01:14:50.399 --> 01:14:56.800
only thirty one trillion. Now it's
thirty four point four and gold is now

1049
01:14:56.920 --> 01:15:01.119
over twenty one hundred dollars an ounce, Bitcoin up to sixty eight thousand dollars,

1050
01:15:01.600 --> 01:15:05.960
and the Congress debates how to spend
more money. If you take historically

1051
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:11.680
from seventeen eighty eight, which was
a long time ago, George Washington is

1052
01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:16.479
the president until twenty oh one,
when Bush forty three was elected, twenty

1053
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:20.960
oh one, period of what about
one hundred and one and two hundred and

1054
01:15:21.239 --> 01:15:27.039
fourteen years long time. Think of
what happened between seventeen eighty eight and two

1055
01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:30.960
thousand and one. Everything happened in
that timeframe. We had accumulated national debt

1056
01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:36.479
and twenty oh one of about four
trillion dollars, and so every every four

1057
01:15:36.600 --> 01:15:43.560
hundred days we equal four trillion dollars, and that to me, of course,

1058
01:15:43.640 --> 01:15:46.800
is unsustainable. Did you vote yes
or no on the cr continuing,

1059
01:15:48.319 --> 01:15:54.199
I voted no, absolutely no.
And look this is look go back just

1060
01:15:54.239 --> 01:15:56.600
a year and a half ago.
I mean this is this is almost a

1061
01:15:56.680 --> 01:15:59.880
year and a half ago. That's
how far it's been drug out. All

1062
01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:03.359
of the Republicans voted no with me, because this was when Nancy Pelosi was

1063
01:16:03.399 --> 01:16:06.239
the Speaker of the House, Chuck
Schumer was the Senate majority of the leader,

1064
01:16:06.279 --> 01:16:11.239
which he still is, and President
Biden was president, which he still

1065
01:16:11.319 --> 01:16:15.520
is. And so this was their
funding priorities. It was the number and

1066
01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:20.560
the policy attachments to it so bankrupting
our country financially and morally, and Republicans

1067
01:16:20.560 --> 01:16:25.000
were at least united them to say
this is a bad idea. I can't,

1068
01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:29.760
for the life of me understand why
one nanosecond passed October first, back

1069
01:16:29.760 --> 01:16:33.159
in the fall, that we would
have voted for anything other than changes.

1070
01:16:33.720 --> 01:16:39.199
And yet here we are half of
our parties voting for it. About half

1071
01:16:39.319 --> 01:16:43.319
isn't and nearly all the Democrats.
I think one or two Democrats voted against

1072
01:16:43.359 --> 01:16:47.920
it, and their main objection was
we should be funding Ukraine. So we're

1073
01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:53.319
not in a good state. It's
sad to give this full report, but

1074
01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:57.000
it is not a good one.
It's ugly. And at thirty four point

1075
01:16:57.039 --> 01:17:00.319
four trillion every one hundred days,
add another trillion, and the interest rates

1076
01:17:00.319 --> 01:17:06.039
arising, they're not falling, certainly, forty trillion dollars of national debt is

1077
01:17:06.119 --> 01:17:11.520
only about four years away, or
less than four years away, forty trillion,

1078
01:17:11.960 --> 01:17:16.800
and then after that fifty trillion,
after that sixty trillion institutions and the

1079
01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:20.600
Japanese, the Chinese, the Saudi
Arabians are going to quit buying our debt,

1080
01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:27.199
and then we're going to have the
most predictive financial crisis in American history.

1081
01:17:27.600 --> 01:17:30.119
And Congressman, we can't stop it. When I look at when I

1082
01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:34.479
go online and look at how the
money is spent, thirteen percent is on

1083
01:17:34.560 --> 01:17:40.960
defense, twenty one percent is on
Social Security, twenty four percent is on

1084
01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:45.279
Medicare Medicaid, ten percent is interest
on the national debt, eight percent are

1085
01:17:45.319 --> 01:17:50.439
benefits for veterans and federal retirees.
Add up those numbers, about eighty percent

1086
01:17:50.479 --> 01:17:57.760
of the budget is almost untouchable because
nobody wants to touch Social Security, Medicare,

1087
01:17:57.800 --> 01:18:00.920
Medicaid, defense, spending, interests
on the national debt. So we're

1088
01:18:00.960 --> 01:18:05.199
almost powerless to stop it. Because
even when I think the best president of

1089
01:18:05.199 --> 01:18:12.000
my lifetime that's going back a while
was Donald Trump. His administration added eight

1090
01:18:12.039 --> 01:18:15.680
trillion dollars to the national debt.
He had the excuse of the pandemic,

1091
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:19.680
but not really. It wasn't offset. And even whether it's Republicans or Democrats,

1092
01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:24.800
Congressman and the twenty four to twenty
five years of this century, half

1093
01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:29.079
the time Democrats are in charge,
half the time Republicans are in charge,

1094
01:18:29.560 --> 01:18:32.399
it made no difference. We keep
spending and spending and spending. And what

1095
01:18:32.600 --> 01:18:38.319
happens when those quit buying our debt
stops doing it? The Federal Reserve has

1096
01:18:38.359 --> 01:18:42.399
to print more money, or the
Treasury he's got to issue more IOUs.

1097
01:18:42.560 --> 01:18:45.680
Either way, it's bad. How
do you sell the idea that if this

1098
01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:48.960
isn't addressed, America will be a
banana republic by the year twenty thirty,

1099
01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:54.720
Well, it isn't going well.
I go back to twenty sixteen, when

1100
01:18:54.720 --> 01:18:57.920
I was a first a candidate,
one of my sayings was, don't bankrupt

1101
01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:00.640
America, and we sure on a
path to do it. And you know,

1102
01:19:00.680 --> 01:19:04.319
don't bankrupt it financially, that's the
math part. Math is real.

1103
01:19:04.760 --> 01:19:09.159
And don't bankrupt it morally. That's
all the terms and conditions. All this

1104
01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:13.479
stuff is loaded up with and it's
crippling our economy. And people recognize that.

1105
01:19:13.479 --> 01:19:16.319
People give such eloquent speeches about it. I go back to Barry Goldwater

1106
01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:20.600
and Ronald Reagan when he was nominating. Heaven gave us famous a time for

1107
01:19:20.680 --> 01:19:25.840
choosing speech, and they were worried
about the debt in the sixties, and

1108
01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:30.359
so the Republican Party, Reagan's famously
in the eighties had a great quote.

1109
01:19:30.359 --> 01:19:32.560
He said, you know, the
closest thing to eternal life we'll see on

1110
01:19:32.600 --> 01:19:36.640
this earth as a government program.
You know, they don't ever stop growing.

1111
01:19:38.199 --> 01:19:43.840
And yet he, in spite of
recognized that, presided over massive expansion

1112
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:47.359
of spending and overall the big growth
of government. So recognizing the problem is

1113
01:19:47.399 --> 01:19:49.960
the first step, but then actually
doing something about it. You know,

1114
01:19:50.039 --> 01:19:54.159
most I check all my colleagues,
most every one of us has some version

1115
01:19:54.199 --> 01:19:58.520
of we want a smaller, more
accountable government. Every one of us as

1116
01:19:58.600 --> 01:20:02.079
Republicans anyway, everyone left of center
once more government. That's part of the

1117
01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:06.399
mindset. You'd think the solution to
every problem is more government. But unfortunately,

1118
01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:12.279
even though they say otherwise, a
solid chunk of Republicans believe that this

1119
01:20:12.399 --> 01:20:15.960
solution is more government as well.
That's why we keep winding up with more

1120
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:20.039
government. We haven't had a Congress
in memory where we had less government,

1121
01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:26.279
so that's that's the problem. The
only time we really got aggressive about winding

1122
01:20:26.319 --> 01:20:30.760
down the government we did was post
World War Two. We had about the

1123
01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:34.119
one hundred and twenty five percent debt
to GDP ratio, so we had lots

1124
01:20:34.159 --> 01:20:38.520
of debt, and our economy was, you know, smaller than the debt

1125
01:20:38.560 --> 01:20:41.800
twenty five percent. The debt was
twenty five percent bigger than the debt.

1126
01:20:42.119 --> 01:20:45.119
We're closing in on one hundred and
thirty percent of our debt to GDP right

1127
01:20:45.159 --> 01:20:49.399
now, so we're more debt to
GDP than we had after winning World War

1128
01:20:49.399 --> 01:20:53.800
two. And at least after World
War two they realized, you know,

1129
01:20:53.880 --> 01:20:57.159
we can't keep spending at wartime levels. We have to pay out in the

1130
01:20:57.199 --> 01:21:00.560
debt. But the only quest for
all all of the people left of center

1131
01:21:00.920 --> 01:21:06.800
and a solid chunk of Republicans is
more government. And look, one hundred,

1132
01:21:08.439 --> 01:21:11.479
one hundred and thirty percent debt to
GDP ratio is a big warning.

1133
01:21:11.600 --> 01:21:15.960
Historically, there's fifty two countries in
history that have gotten to that debt to

1134
01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:20.600
GDP ratio, and so far,
fifty one of them have defaulted. The

1135
01:21:20.680 --> 01:21:25.600
only one that hasn't is America.
Yet. No, we're not quite there

1136
01:21:25.680 --> 01:21:28.600
yet, so we're closing in on
it. Japan has not defaulted yet,

1137
01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:31.840
but they're above it right now and
they're still surviving somehow. That's the only

1138
01:21:31.960 --> 01:21:34.800
cases so far at Japan, and
you might as well lump the United States

1139
01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:38.960
there, because there is no plan
to avert getting to one hundred and thirty

1140
01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:42.840
percent debt to GP ratio. For
the United States, it always ends in

1141
01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:45.920
default fifty one out of fifty two
times so far, and no one's even

1142
01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:49.960
working on the land for default.
So reality is when something can't continue,

1143
01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:56.359
it does eventually stop. Sometimes,
like a fall from a skyscraper, it's

1144
01:21:56.399 --> 01:22:00.960
the sudden deceleration that kills you right
hit the ground and you stop. I

1145
01:22:01.000 --> 01:22:03.399
don't know what it's going to take
for the United States, to realize we

1146
01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:08.640
can't keep spending at these levels,
but we have to. And what happens

1147
01:22:09.079 --> 01:22:12.279
people are already seeing it. Yes, you can print money, but it

1148
01:22:12.319 --> 01:22:15.640
doesn't mean that you can buy the
same amount of stuff. It causes inflation,

1149
01:22:15.159 --> 01:22:18.279
and it's essentially a tax. So
if you think about how much more

1150
01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:24.960
expensive everything is in your household right
now, imagine if that was because this

1151
01:22:25.159 --> 01:22:29.479
was going to taxes to pay to
the federal government. Because that's effectively what

1152
01:22:29.560 --> 01:22:33.600
this is. It's a consequence of
policy decisions made in Washington, DC overwhelmingly

1153
01:22:34.359 --> 01:22:39.399
that you're dealing with this inflation.
Well, each American personally owes about two

1154
01:22:39.479 --> 01:22:43.880
hundred thousand dollars of they're part of
the national debt, and it's getting worse

1155
01:22:43.920 --> 01:22:46.319
and worse. We defend the borders
of the Ukraine, but don't defend our

1156
01:22:46.359 --> 01:22:50.720
borders. And we had Kamala Harris
the vice president, and that's the best,

1157
01:22:51.520 --> 01:22:56.840
the best insurance policy Joe Biden has
as his vice president. No one's

1158
01:22:56.880 --> 01:23:00.439
calling for the twenty fifth amount because
of what would happen unless she and Age

1159
01:23:00.479 --> 01:23:08.000
and the Attorney General Mary Garland said
in a Selma church this morning yesterday that

1160
01:23:08.600 --> 01:23:15.920
guess what voter ID laws are racially
discriminatory, that we cannot expect black folks

1161
01:23:16.000 --> 01:23:19.279
to get an ID to vote.
That that has to do with all the

1162
01:23:19.319 --> 01:23:24.600
illegal immigration going on right now,
which is completely out of control. One

1163
01:23:24.600 --> 01:23:29.279
of the things that really is such
a lie that illegal immigrants don't commit more

1164
01:23:29.319 --> 01:23:31.920
crimes than shall I say, Native
Americans. Well, the fact of the

1165
01:23:31.920 --> 01:23:35.680
matter is that the cities, the
Blue Cities, and the Blue States do

1166
01:23:35.800 --> 01:23:41.720
not ask anyone their immigration status when
they're arrested. So therefore we don't know

1167
01:23:42.119 --> 01:23:45.119
how many illegal immigrants commit crime because
we don't ask where they're from. And

1168
01:23:45.199 --> 01:23:48.800
secondly, the Blue Cities and the
Blue States have stopped reporting to the FBI

1169
01:23:49.399 --> 01:23:54.119
crime statistics, and so we don't
know out of New York, Washington,

1170
01:23:54.199 --> 01:23:58.319
d C. Or Atlanta or Portland
or LA or Chicago or Cincinnati, we

1171
01:23:58.399 --> 01:24:01.880
don't know level of crime committed by
illegals. Number One, we don't ask

1172
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:05.720
immigration status, which is are you
legal, so we don't know who's committing

1173
01:24:05.720 --> 01:24:10.920
crime. Secondly, we don't send
that data to the FBI because it looks

1174
01:24:10.960 --> 01:24:15.000
too bad. I think about the
murder, the terrible murder which is happening

1175
01:24:15.079 --> 01:24:21.399
all over our country, to female
joggers, Tither and fro whether it's it

1176
01:24:21.479 --> 01:24:26.199
began with Kate Steinley in San Francisco
about seven or eight years ago. Molly

1177
01:24:26.279 --> 01:24:30.640
Tibbets in Iowa and Lake and Riley
and Georgia, all killed by illegal immigrants

1178
01:24:30.680 --> 01:24:34.680
that shouldn't have been here, but
we don't know their immigration status. We're

1179
01:24:34.720 --> 01:24:41.880
told now that the killers of these
three women are from foreign countries, many

1180
01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:46.319
had been toporter committing crimes here.
And the Congresses can't act on requiring cities

1181
01:24:46.319 --> 01:24:51.039
and states to report immigration status because
the Democrats in the Senate would filibuster,

1182
01:24:51.079 --> 01:24:55.560
are not permitted to come up.
We're in serious trouble. And on the

1183
01:24:55.600 --> 01:24:59.520
southern border. Can you make the
argument, Congressman Warren Davidson as to why

1184
01:24:59.560 --> 01:25:02.000
we protect the borders of Iran,
Iraq, will protect the borders of South

1185
01:25:02.079 --> 01:25:05.960
Korea, of Israel, of Ukraine, will protect the borders of NATO,

1186
01:25:06.600 --> 01:25:12.239
but we don't protect American borders.
Why? Yeah, there is no excuse

1187
01:25:12.279 --> 01:25:15.960
for that. And you'll go back
briefly to crime. Let's not forget accounting

1188
01:25:16.039 --> 01:25:23.319
methodologies and you know all the corrupt
dishonesty going on there on reporting. But

1189
01:25:23.439 --> 01:25:29.359
let's just say the right level of
crime committed inside America by illegals is zero.

1190
01:25:29.520 --> 01:25:32.840
Because the right level of illegals inside
America is zero, there should be

1191
01:25:32.880 --> 01:25:38.279
no crime committed by illegals because we
shouldn't accept illegals coming in. And so

1192
01:25:38.399 --> 01:25:44.800
the Senate Democrat plan was to create
a floor of five thousand people. They

1193
01:25:44.800 --> 01:25:47.520
could come in a day, so
you get one point eight million people in

1194
01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:51.039
a year. And what's that designed
to do. It's designed to jam up

1195
01:25:51.800 --> 01:25:59.319
President Trump's forty seven the next term, so that he can't actually limit immigration

1196
01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:02.439
and get it back closer to zero
you know where it should. And when

1197
01:26:02.439 --> 01:26:05.720
you look at the priorities, Look, we haven't funded our own government.

1198
01:26:05.840 --> 01:26:10.279
The deadline was October first of twenty
twenty three, that's the start of the

1199
01:26:10.319 --> 01:26:14.159
fiscal year. We could have had
a lowering level, and we could have

1200
01:26:14.199 --> 01:26:18.199
had Republican priorities. And the only
reason we don't is because Republicans refuse to

1201
01:26:18.239 --> 01:26:24.960
work together as a majority to implement
a majority policy. We have to fight.

1202
01:26:25.119 --> 01:26:28.000
Now, that doesn't mean that the
Democrats in the Senate and Joe Biden

1203
01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:30.520
are going to want to sign it, but they're certainly not going to sign

1204
01:26:30.560 --> 01:26:32.720
it without a fight. And we
can't even get into the fight. So

1205
01:26:32.840 --> 01:26:36.600
that's incredibly frustrating. And you know, people say back home, why do

1206
01:26:36.680 --> 01:26:40.399
I say it that way, Well, because I want you to know that

1207
01:26:40.439 --> 01:26:44.720
there are people in Congress like me, like you, that are frustrated and

1208
01:26:44.760 --> 01:26:47.520
we expect to be able to fight. We call the votes. We don't

1209
01:26:47.560 --> 01:26:51.079
have the votes, and I think
that's great, because it's not great that

1210
01:26:51.119 --> 01:26:54.520
we don't have the votes, but
it's great that we get to vote,

1211
01:26:54.640 --> 01:26:58.359
because then the American people can see
and they can send reinforcements. You can

1212
01:26:58.359 --> 01:27:02.439
see who's more interested in funding foreign
governments in foreign wars, and who's interested

1213
01:27:02.439 --> 01:27:05.600
in funding our own country. And
we should fund our country. Yeah,

1214
01:27:05.600 --> 01:27:10.000
but we should fund it in a
direction that cuts spending, that shrinks our

1215
01:27:10.039 --> 01:27:15.000
government, that balances our budget eventually, and it secures our borders. It

1216
01:27:15.039 --> 01:27:17.039
gives up the whole idea of citizenship. If you don't if you don't care

1217
01:27:17.079 --> 01:27:20.640
about citizenship, you're not a sovereign
country. Now. Well, whenever Joe

1218
01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:25.760
Biden reads the teleprompter or whenever the
mainstream media talks about it, it's the

1219
01:27:25.880 --> 01:27:32.000
Bipartisan Border Control Bill, The Bipartisan
Border Control Bill sixty minutes BI parttersan border

1220
01:27:32.000 --> 01:27:36.199
control bill that the Republican's Donald Trump's
in fault because he told the Republicans,

1221
01:27:36.239 --> 01:27:40.319
I guess like you in the House
not to vote for it, because after

1222
01:27:40.359 --> 01:27:46.319
all, it's bipartisan. The bipartisan
bill legalizes every day five thousand new illegal

1223
01:27:46.359 --> 01:27:50.880
immigrants before Biden has to trigger something
to stop it. Five thousand a day

1224
01:27:51.199 --> 01:27:56.880
is almost two million more illegal before. It's a terrible bill. It makes

1225
01:27:56.920 --> 01:28:00.159
no sense. There should be not
one illegal immigrant entering this country every day.

1226
01:28:00.319 --> 01:28:06.159
But the bipartisan bill says that five
thousand of days brought in before Biden

1227
01:28:06.199 --> 01:28:10.640
has to do anything, which is
two million new every year. But the

1228
01:28:10.720 --> 01:28:14.560
media never points that out, do
they. No, they don't. And

1229
01:28:14.720 --> 01:28:16.840
look, let's say that that could
get all the way through the Senate.

1230
01:28:17.199 --> 01:28:20.239
That's not what passed the House.
The House passed HR two. It's a

1231
01:28:20.359 --> 01:28:26.199
strong border security bill. It does
actually do a lot to address the problem.

1232
01:28:26.640 --> 01:28:30.079
And what should happen Normally, when
you have a bill that passes the

1233
01:28:30.119 --> 01:28:32.520
House and a build that passes the
Senate, they go to conference committee and

1234
01:28:32.560 --> 01:28:36.119
you try to reconcile the differences.
Sometimes you can't reconcile them. That happens

1235
01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:41.159
in a lot of cases. The
Senate doesn't take up lots of bills that

1236
01:28:41.239 --> 01:28:45.159
the House has passed. But we
passed this bill on boarder security last May.

1237
01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:48.039
So we've done everything we can to
try to get them to take it.

1238
01:28:48.039 --> 01:28:51.319
We've asked nicely, we've demanded.
The thing that we haven't done,

1239
01:28:51.359 --> 01:28:56.680
though, is delivered a bill that
needs to pass the Senate and it's got

1240
01:28:56.800 --> 01:29:00.479
HR two attached to it. The
Senate tried to do this last week with

1241
01:29:00.560 --> 01:29:05.159
their amendment process. Republican senators were
able to force some amendment votes and they

1242
01:29:05.199 --> 01:29:12.039
got thirty two senators to vote to
secure our border along with funding our country.

1243
01:29:12.319 --> 01:29:15.479
So the cr that ultimately passed,
there was a chance to pass one

1244
01:29:15.520 --> 01:29:20.159
that secured the border, and thirty
two senators voted to do it. One

1245
01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:25.680
of our senators did, jd Vance
voted to secure the border and thunder government

1246
01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:29.960
and Senators shared Brown said no,
thanks, let's not secure border. Stayman,

1247
01:29:30.079 --> 01:29:33.800
just thunder government. It's just stalemate. Status quo. Congressman Warren Davidson.

1248
01:29:33.840 --> 01:29:38.760
I'm glad you're in the fight,
but I have little hope that Donald

1249
01:29:38.800 --> 01:29:41.960
Trump's going to get a fair trial
in New York City. I have little

1250
01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:45.199
hope that the arc of spending is
going to be stopped. I have little

1251
01:29:45.359 --> 01:29:48.439
r I have little hope that the
southern border is going to become secure.

1252
01:29:48.479 --> 01:29:53.399
It wouldn't take a dollar of federal
spending for Joe Biden isshiel a whole bunch

1253
01:29:53.399 --> 01:29:57.239
of executive orders just used the template
that Trump used, and he's not going

1254
01:29:57.279 --> 01:29:59.920
to do that. And as long
as the mainstream media keeps lying in the

1255
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:02.439
American people, they're never going to
know the truth. Well, Congressman,

1256
01:30:02.439 --> 01:30:04.680
we got to run. But I'm
glad you're in the fight. I'm glad

1257
01:30:04.720 --> 01:30:08.239
you're on the right side of history. But we're going to have the most

1258
01:30:08.239 --> 01:30:15.600
predictive national catastrophe we've ever had when
the debt bubble burst and dollars are worthless

1259
01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:17.760
and it will take a real barrel
of dollars to buy a loaf of bread.

1260
01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:21.239
That's where we're headed. And everyone
says, yep, it's happening.

1261
01:30:21.600 --> 01:30:25.680
Everyone from Wall Street to Main Street
says, man, we got a problem.

1262
01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:30.359
But the Democrats largely refuse to do
anything because they don't want to.

1263
01:30:30.279 --> 01:30:34.399
They don't want to take responsibility for
the def and deficits they've largely cost.

1264
01:30:34.920 --> 01:30:39.399
Congressman Warren Davidson, once again,
thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham

1265
01:30:39.439 --> 01:30:42.199
Show. With your permission, we'll
do it again. Thank you. Congressman

1266
01:30:42.880 --> 01:30:45.119
Willie is always an honor. God
bless you and your listeners. And don't

1267
01:30:45.119 --> 01:30:49.159
give into despair for anybody listening.
This country's worth fighting for and defending.

1268
01:30:49.479 --> 01:30:53.319
So thank you for inspiring and soul. God bless you. Thank you very

1269
01:30:53.399 --> 01:30:58.000
much. Let's continue with more.
Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW did you

1270
01:30:58.079 --> 01:31:01.119
know that the tubs and showers installed
most bathroom remodeler. Now that he's washed

1271
01:31:01.159 --> 01:31:05.079
up as a football player, he's
got to find something to do well,

1272
01:31:05.159 --> 01:31:10.640
Chris, now that NBC lost the
football games, maybe you can do your

1273
01:31:10.680 --> 01:31:13.920
own show once in a while,
at least for a short period of time

1274
01:31:13.920 --> 01:31:16.760
before you joined Bob Trumpy at some
little station in northern Kentucky that nobody can

1275
01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:21.399
hear. Tracy Jones, another washed
up ex jock. We've seen more games

1276
01:31:21.399 --> 01:31:25.319
from behind the scenes than Marty and
Joel. Hey, Tracy, maybe you

1277
01:31:25.319 --> 01:31:28.079
ought to think about being a travel
agent. Heck, you've played in every

1278
01:31:28.079 --> 01:31:31.319
city in North America. It's one
thing when talent plays the fool. But

1279
01:31:31.399 --> 01:31:35.439
Andy Furman is not playing. This
guy has cost this company more than any

1280
01:31:35.520 --> 01:31:40.680
other single individual. He called a
sixteen year old girl a terrible name.

1281
01:31:40.720 --> 01:31:45.399
He got us in a lawsuit smoking
a cigar. He cost Bob Huggins to

1282
01:31:45.439 --> 01:31:48.439
lose key recruits and lost the Bengals
when he had to call Mike Brown sperm

1283
01:31:48.520 --> 01:31:55.600
lucky. Finally, how about that
so called common man Bill Cunningham? How

1284
01:31:55.640 --> 01:31:59.800
can this guy own four restaurants,
drive free cars, take free vacations,

1285
01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:03.840
hang out at the Kenwood Country Club
and call himself the common man? This

1286
01:32:03.880 --> 01:32:06.399
guy is so delusional. He actually
thinks he's a good talk show host.

1287
01:32:06.479 --> 01:32:10.199
He thinks he's a good attorney.
He thinks he's a god named raw.

1288
01:32:10.680 --> 01:32:14.359
Hey Bill, I heard you on
w C I M not bad. You

1289
01:32:14.359 --> 01:32:23.680
think they have a full time opening
for you there? Hello Piet and I'm

1290
01:32:23.680 --> 01:32:30.199
broadcasting Roger. That's Randy Michaels,
who owned the station. The program draft,

1291
01:32:30.359 --> 01:32:36.840
right, this is the guy in
charge, the Cracker, He's leader.

1292
01:32:38.000 --> 01:32:42.920
Look, look, anybody listens to
this program those it's hard to tell

1293
01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:45.479
what's real and what's not real?
Was he being sincere? Was he calling

1294
01:32:45.520 --> 01:32:48.920
people out? Yes? I love
it? How about this story with Bob

1295
01:32:48.960 --> 01:32:55.039
Trumpy when he was told by Randy
Michael, you're gonna do school closings whether

1296
01:32:55.039 --> 01:32:58.640
you like him or not. Trumpy, what happened? Uh, let's see

1297
01:32:58.640 --> 01:33:00.680
Trump. He put him up against
the and is about three feet off the

1298
01:33:00.720 --> 01:33:05.079
ground, Willie, and he was
his fear is at nine thousand dollars.

1299
01:33:05.079 --> 01:33:10.600
Shoes were dangling off the wall and
Trump just Trump just dropped him. And

1300
01:33:10.640 --> 01:33:14.960
guess who did school closings every day? You me, Bam? Can you

1301
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:19.920
see someone here picking up DJ Hodge
hitting them against the wall using the I'm

1302
01:33:19.920 --> 01:33:26.720
not doing school closing boom and DJ. That was Bob Trumpy. Things are

1303
01:33:26.720 --> 01:33:29.239
a little different. It was different, good old days. It was a

1304
01:33:29.279 --> 01:33:32.680
wild less back then. How about
the legendary Gary Burbank and he's now cast

1305
01:33:32.760 --> 01:33:36.159
on My God Bousies. I remember
when it was just Gary and Doc and

1306
01:33:36.720 --> 01:33:40.479
they were number one. Now.
Look, I mean, there's a guy

1307
01:33:40.479 --> 01:33:44.039
who absolutely is lucky he got into
radio when he did, because there's no

1308
01:33:44.159 --> 01:33:46.800
way in hell he could have done
that show if he'd have been born after

1309
01:33:46.800 --> 01:33:53.439
the invention of Prozact. So what
was the con Give us some context on

1310
01:33:53.520 --> 01:33:56.640
the air, like, like what
why is what is the reason behind this?

1311
01:33:56.680 --> 01:34:00.600
All right? Randy Michaels wanted to
change AM radio away from Moon River,

1312
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:04.279
away from playing the hot wax hits, away from being I'm a radio

1313
01:34:04.359 --> 01:34:08.239
man. Listen to what I have
to say and I will give you exactly.

1314
01:34:08.279 --> 01:34:11.439
He wanted to be fun, outrageous. What's gonna happen now? We

1315
01:34:11.680 --> 01:34:17.079
now precisely, And so in eighty
three he buys this station and it was

1316
01:34:17.119 --> 01:34:20.680
losing money. It was eighth in
the ratings. Only went up during Red

1317
01:34:20.720 --> 01:34:24.520
Spaceball in the Bengals. Oh that
we were in the crapper. He wanted

1318
01:34:24.560 --> 01:34:28.319
to change this frequency to make it
relevant to a thirty five year old man

1319
01:34:28.359 --> 01:34:31.079
and woman, and he did it. But this was He'd walk around here

1320
01:34:31.079 --> 01:34:35.079
with his pants down. But we'd
have parties. Remember a Union terminal.

1321
01:34:35.399 --> 01:34:41.239
It was, oh, millions of
dollars. We had the boat. We

1322
01:34:41.279 --> 01:34:45.439
had programming dinners where we all got
together. Macintosh's out there, the old

1323
01:34:45.520 --> 01:34:50.439
Macintosh is a great place out on
Galberthrown. But the Delta, well,

1324
01:34:50.439 --> 01:34:53.880
I'm going to use the Delta Queen. We would we would go every so

1325
01:34:54.000 --> 01:34:58.560
often, we go and anything he
wanted at Macintosh's, Snake everything else.

1326
01:34:58.800 --> 01:35:01.960
The place ended up in a but
baked potato fight. We got thrown out

1327
01:35:02.000 --> 01:35:05.319
of there and never never came back. See, I haven't talked about this

1328
01:35:05.359 --> 01:35:10.640
with Eddie. He always exalts the
days when he would get free trips to

1329
01:35:10.640 --> 01:35:14.479
London and do remotes and do all
this and go to didn't you guys go

1330
01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:17.439
to a would you guys go to
the We went to Dominican Dominican or something.

1331
01:35:17.600 --> 01:35:20.960
We went to I went to Maui, The d R went to UH

1332
01:35:21.159 --> 01:35:26.600
went to Rome. We went to
UH Grease and on condition you have an

1333
01:35:26.680 --> 01:35:29.520
unlimited checking your account, spend all
the money you want and have fun.

1334
01:35:30.079 --> 01:35:32.760
Just go And I was like,
are you kidding me? Now? Can't

1335
01:35:32.800 --> 01:35:36.840
get cups, We can't get cuffs
coffee, We don't have a vending machine.

1336
01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:41.239
Right. Randy says, we're gonna
blow this thing up and recreate it.

1337
01:35:41.319 --> 01:35:45.479
And here Alan Gardner. It was
in a candy bar and it was

1338
01:35:45.680 --> 01:35:50.079
Mike McConnell. Mike McConnell. He
was a long haired pot smoking f them

1339
01:35:50.119 --> 01:35:55.199
lock and roll disc jockey. You
know what's missing today the records. He

1340
01:35:55.279 --> 01:35:58.640
sits around trying to be logical.
He doesn't know how to scream or yell

1341
01:35:58.760 --> 01:36:02.000
or provoke controversy. I mean I
replaced him once with Pat Berry, and

1342
01:36:02.079 --> 01:36:06.600
don't think I won't do it again. That was it. And if you're

1343
01:36:06.600 --> 01:36:12.079
not on the edge getting sued insulting
people, you're not working here. Now.

1344
01:36:12.119 --> 01:36:16.560
It's like, if something happens before, we got to be careful.

1345
01:36:17.079 --> 01:36:21.640
I don't offend anybody. Offend everybody. Please offend everybody. So are their

1346
01:36:21.640 --> 01:36:25.319
compliance trainings? Like we got to
take all the damn time around here?

1347
01:36:25.359 --> 01:36:30.560
What what? No? We had
no computers, no nothing, nothing,

1348
01:36:30.760 --> 01:36:33.000
just to have fun, to be
ridiculous. And I said, I got

1349
01:36:33.000 --> 01:36:38.000
to get more about Matt Reese and
David Wecker, oh, my paper guy

1350
01:36:38.760 --> 01:36:42.479
and a liberal news guy. I
guess that's redundant. What are they thinking

1351
01:36:42.520 --> 01:36:45.720
about trying to be talk show hosts? I mean, David, until that

1352
01:36:45.840 --> 01:36:47.079
post goes out of business in the
next few weeks, why don't you go

1353
01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:51.520
back and help Connie Yeager put together
lista cat shows or Star Trek Adventures or

1354
01:36:51.520 --> 01:36:55.800
something. And Matt Reee, all
you do is suck up the politicians.

1355
01:36:55.800 --> 01:36:58.680
And if we work for you and
your friend Tim Merra, those stadiums would

1356
01:36:58.720 --> 01:37:02.920
be built by now. That was
a small slice of this culture, this

1357
01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:08.920
place for lanny years. It sounds
like you walked around here on your toes

1358
01:37:08.920 --> 01:37:12.760
a little bit. Uh, But
you better do something weird and get sued.

1359
01:37:12.800 --> 01:37:15.960
You better do any firm and bringing
people to Uh. I'd walk into

1360
01:37:15.960 --> 01:37:20.600
the studio after a cigar fest and
it was I couldn't see the microphone.

1361
01:37:20.640 --> 01:37:25.840
Here was smoke, cigars, strippers
running around. You're not getting sued your

1362
01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:30.720
newspapers. Not Now, it's a
complete opposite. We've got him Scott,

1363
01:37:30.039 --> 01:37:34.039
mister nice guy, mister oh sure, I'll help your charity. I'll go

1364
01:37:34.079 --> 01:37:38.479
to the hospital and see your kid. You believe any of that crap.

1365
01:37:38.920 --> 01:37:44.840
This guy is no more a liberal
do gooder than that I am. This

1366
01:37:45.079 --> 01:37:49.600
is a Ronald Reagan anti tree hugger. The only twelve step program he believes

1367
01:37:49.600 --> 01:37:54.520
in is as twelve beers to open
and consume. This guy has nothing but

1368
01:37:54.560 --> 01:37:59.319
a skirt chasing, stay at a
blatant stack, drink drinking. I'm gonna

1369
01:37:59.359 --> 01:38:00.720
tell you, mister him, Scott, you know why we put you back

1370
01:38:00.720 --> 01:38:11.640
on seven hundred WLW because I heard
John Wink dinner time. That's our leader,

1371
01:38:11.720 --> 01:38:15.239
that's the guy in charge. There's
nowhere to go. You couldn't go

1372
01:38:15.279 --> 01:38:16.760
to like the other PD, you
couldn't go to the owner of the station.

1373
01:38:17.239 --> 01:38:20.359
He was it, Randy Michaels was
it? That? Was it?

1374
01:38:20.520 --> 01:38:24.880
Judge Jury executioner. I walk up
to him in nineteen eighty four like an

1375
01:38:24.920 --> 01:38:27.359
April and may have been here about
a year, and I said, I

1376
01:38:27.479 --> 01:38:30.359
like to know, Randy, if
I have a future in radio, because

1377
01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:33.439
I could run against Judge Craft for
a common Police Court seat. I probably

1378
01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:38.039
would lose, might win. I
want you to tell me, Manda man

1379
01:38:38.079 --> 01:38:41.159
I bought it. Am I going
to be a radio He said, absolutely

1380
01:38:41.199 --> 01:38:44.279
not. He said, you have
no chance. You don't get it,

1381
01:38:44.760 --> 01:38:47.359
You're not not never any career.
No, you better take that, take

1382
01:38:47.399 --> 01:38:53.279
that position. Here we are,
and here I am. Forty years years

1383
01:38:53.359 --> 01:39:00.199
later. It was cut lady to
pick seven hundred wl W the flagship into

1384
01:39:00.199 --> 01:39:05.279
your station. Okay, communications,
seriously, once again? So what change?

1385
01:39:05.560 --> 01:39:10.319
What change from then to now?
Not that we don't have our fun

1386
01:39:10.359 --> 01:39:14.880
here. I would love us to
be independent by ourselves doing what we like

1387
01:39:14.960 --> 01:39:18.000
to do. But we're governed by
a corporate structure with a thousand others.

1388
01:39:18.000 --> 01:39:23.399
What happens a thousand stations run out
of New York City in San Antonio.

1389
01:39:23.439 --> 01:39:26.760
And that's that's the way it is. And I don't blame the leadership of

1390
01:39:26.760 --> 01:39:30.000
this station because if they don't do
it, somebody else will. And so

1391
01:39:30.119 --> 01:39:32.840
I get it. But the fun
aspect, the ridiculous aspect, go out

1392
01:39:32.880 --> 01:39:36.399
on the limb. Go you're so
off the limb, jump in head first,

1393
01:39:36.399 --> 01:39:40.079
Who cares if there's water in the
pool, just jump in. That

1394
01:39:40.159 --> 01:39:44.359
whole thing is gone and we've gone
corporate. That's what we used to have

1395
01:39:44.359 --> 01:39:46.079
our fun, though we have fun
within certainly, I'll tell you, I

1396
01:39:46.079 --> 01:39:49.319
mean compared to the station. Like
people at ESPN ask me all the time

1397
01:39:49.359 --> 01:39:53.680
about my show and stuff, and
I tell them they're like, what could

1398
01:39:53.760 --> 01:39:56.359
never work? What are you talking
about? Them? Like that actually does

1399
01:39:56.520 --> 01:40:00.880
or it could get worse. But
right now we're the best we can with

1400
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:04.279
the constraints. Though that exists.
I agree. But Randy blew it up,

1401
01:40:04.439 --> 01:40:09.399
recreated it, and the rest is
history. And Jim Scott, the

1402
01:40:09.479 --> 01:40:13.960
living legend seg you said it.
He began life with Polio, end's life

1403
01:40:13.960 --> 01:40:17.159
with Louke Gerrick's. In the meantime, he did amazing. It's amazing,

1404
01:40:17.520 --> 01:40:21.840
the greatest Morning Guy and it's said
he's going out this way. He wants

1405
01:40:21.880 --> 01:40:27.439
to live until the Red's opening day, be the Honorary Grand Marshal with Pokey

1406
01:40:27.479 --> 01:40:31.159
Reese and Dimitri Young. Yeah,
and he's being I got a text from

1407
01:40:31.199 --> 01:40:35.199
Donna, his wife, and she
said, please tell tell she's not being

1408
01:40:35.199 --> 01:40:40.600
Shall we say private about this?
That there's a guy coming over as we

1409
01:40:40.680 --> 01:40:46.359
speak to fit him. How about
this? So glad you reached out at

1410
01:40:46.399 --> 01:40:50.840
four pm? Today is a big
day for Jim. A Jim Swartzman who

1411
01:40:50.840 --> 01:40:57.960
grew up in reading is bringing his
big ass nineteen sixty three Pontiac Parade convertible

1412
01:40:58.319 --> 01:41:01.560
and the OTPT lady here are gonna
size up Jim. Going to in and

1413
01:41:01.600 --> 01:41:06.039
out of the convertible. This is
Jim's last hurrah. It's important to our

1414
01:41:06.079 --> 01:41:10.960
hearts and being that this goes well. We're doing all that we can and

1415
01:41:11.000 --> 01:41:14.479
I'll say Donna, I'll do whatever
I can to honor the living legend.

1416
01:41:14.640 --> 01:41:18.319
Amen. And so he's gonna be
fitted at four o'clock in the convertible,

1417
01:41:18.399 --> 01:41:23.920
and I hope he can make it
the next three and a half weeks segment.

1418
01:41:24.199 --> 01:41:28.640
Your reaction will he the stooge reporters
approach service of your local temestar.

1419
01:41:29.000 --> 01:41:33.319
He the air conditioning dealers tamestar quality. You could feel the Northern Kentucky call

1420
01:41:33.359 --> 01:41:36.479
it any whether heat he get air
at eight five nine seventy eight to one

1421
01:41:38.119 --> 01:41:43.920
forty eight twenty two ft. Aaron
Leightman was the guy Furball just text correct

1422
01:41:44.159 --> 01:41:49.000
who sued the station because of smoke. Andy Right allegedly blew smoke in his

1423
01:41:49.119 --> 01:41:54.520
face and Aaron Lightman wanted to charge
Andy Furman with assault, Oh my god,

1424
01:41:54.600 --> 01:41:57.319
and battery. It's true, It's
true, true, and what the

1425
01:41:57.359 --> 01:42:00.560
court. I don't know what happened, but Bariny Myers, it is worth

1426
01:42:00.600 --> 01:42:02.960
it. Go do it again.
Jump in the pool head first, who

1427
01:42:03.000 --> 01:42:08.000
cares if there's water in it?
Jump in there, Go down those ski

1428
01:42:08.079 --> 01:42:11.399
slopes without any poles. Just go
head first in the dark and see what

1429
01:42:11.479 --> 01:42:14.520
happens. I'll cover your ass.
I said, thank you, Randy.

1430
01:42:15.000 --> 01:42:19.239
Amen segment your reaction. Willy Andrew
Abbott starts today for the Reds as they

1431
01:42:19.279 --> 01:42:25.119
take on those Oakland A's, and
the action will come up on Fox Sports

1432
01:42:25.159 --> 01:42:29.600
thirteen sixty and tomorrow at one o'clock. We hope to have on Donna Scott

1433
01:42:29.600 --> 01:42:32.840
and Jim Scott tomorrow at one.
So that's that point the appointment listening right

1434
01:42:32.880 --> 01:42:39.800
there, Joe Burrow about that rejects
a return to throwing during the Bengals OTA's

1435
01:42:39.920 --> 01:42:45.680
coming up in may as he thrown
yet rock here is not he dished out.

1436
01:42:45.439 --> 01:42:49.279
He dissed out some great soup yesterday, Downtown lost soup. Houses camp

1437
01:42:50.159 --> 01:42:55.279
looks good, houses appendix looks good. How's his knee looks good? How

1438
01:42:55.279 --> 01:42:59.399
about his wrist? Still got to
dress on it, but he's doing okay.

1439
01:42:59.479 --> 01:43:02.800
What's next? Throwing? May nothing? You're being negative, I'm being

1440
01:43:02.840 --> 01:43:06.279
positive. I'm being objective. That's
kind of the same amount time to be

1441
01:43:06.319 --> 01:43:11.920
negative. So good things happened anytime
you get positive negative, I'm going negative.

1442
01:43:12.000 --> 01:43:14.680
To get positive sounds like starting you're
being a little randy or something.

1443
01:43:15.079 --> 01:43:19.960
Amen, watch on the show today. So right out of get I heard

1444
01:43:20.000 --> 01:43:26.000
you talking to someone at the casino. Attempted robbery thing pretty wild, right,

1445
01:43:26.119 --> 01:43:29.840
Ocean eleven, Ocean eleven. Uh, he made away with millions of

1446
01:43:29.880 --> 01:43:31.640
dollars in an elaborate plan. I
think it was a little more off the

1447
01:43:31.680 --> 01:43:34.960
cuff. But we have a Jimmy
Orwig. You know, he's uh he's

1448
01:43:34.960 --> 01:43:38.159
in the band. The menus you
know what the menus are? Yeah?

1449
01:43:38.560 --> 01:43:41.840
There, all this was going on
like there, he was there. So

1450
01:43:41.840 --> 01:43:44.359
he's gonna give us a first hand
account. I need what the hell was

1451
01:43:44.439 --> 01:43:46.840
going on? And then then we
have a Christian schlopman of the since he

1452
01:43:46.920 --> 01:43:51.520
film commission at four, gonna answer
the question why are so many movies filled?

1453
01:43:51.520 --> 01:43:56.760
And since filmed in Cincinnati? Amazing, right, Sylvester Stalloons here he

1454
01:43:56.840 --> 01:44:03.319
was to Jeff Ruby, he got
the he got the the of a punch,

1455
01:44:03.880 --> 01:44:05.520
by the way, real quick.
I want to give a shout out

1456
01:44:05.520 --> 01:44:10.560
to a j who works at the
the BP right there right the Joe's quick

1457
01:44:10.600 --> 01:44:13.279
marks. Great guy. I go
in there and get a drink most every

1458
01:44:13.359 --> 01:44:15.319
day. He listens. He always
has the stooge report on. He's a

1459
01:44:15.319 --> 01:44:18.319
great guy. Like heyj is the
citizen. He's working, hard, working,

1460
01:44:18.359 --> 01:44:20.960
smart, doing the best they can. How about it? Man?

1461
01:44:20.960 --> 01:44:26.439
We need more? But why don't
we recreate the beginnings of the station?

1462
01:44:26.960 --> 01:44:30.079
Do you want to go? Will
let's go, Oh boy, We'll be

1463
01:44:30.399 --> 01:44:38.439
drawn into DJ's office right now from
corporate Come see me. M was there

1464
01:44:38.479 --> 01:44:41.600
the term woke back then? Was
there? The tomb cancel culture. Was

1465
01:44:41.640 --> 01:44:44.199
there that all this stuff, No, you know what it was. There

1466
01:44:44.199 --> 01:44:47.560
weren't many lawyers back then. Now
there's like one ever you can I mean

1467
01:44:47.720 --> 01:44:51.279
everywhere you turn. You know what
Shakespeare said, First, let's kill all

1468
01:44:51.279 --> 01:44:57.920
the lawyers number one, Billy Shakespeare
first, before we do anything. Let's

1469
01:44:58.000 --> 01:45:00.239
kill the lawyer John to Fitz Society. They go first, and the lawyers,

1470
01:45:00.239 --> 01:45:03.079
the lawyers go first, and we
sure the debt and onuns up.

1471
01:45:03.119 --> 01:45:09.279
And we did now what we did
in the mid nineteen eighties. Be off

1472
01:45:09.279 --> 01:45:15.399
there we got Headlonzo for once.
Then it's over segment your reaction, get

from River Frets Stadium in Cincinnati. A

1485
01:46:06.920 --> 01:46:13.199
mythical matchup involving the nineteen sixty nine
New York Mets, the amazing Mets that

1486
01:46:13.319 --> 01:46:16.119
came from way down in the month
of August to capture the National League Eastern

1487
01:46:16.159 --> 01:46:19.840
Division championship, won the National League
pennant, and went on to take the

1488
01:46:19.920 --> 01:46:25.359
World Series in amazing fashion against all
the Memorials. Tonight they're going to be

1489
01:46:25.399 --> 01:46:30.159

Western Division champion Cincinnati Reds, and it'll

and we'll be back to take a
look at the starting lineup in just a

1492
01:46:40.119 --> 01:46:46.520
moment. Ai Those were when they
were on Strike Rock during the week.

1493
01:46:46.600 --> 01:46:55.720
They recreated beautifully under the tutelage of
production director Lee Jilt years ago, nineteen

1494
01:46:55.840 --> 01:47:00.279
it was nineteen eighty one. They
recreated games where the seventy six Rads gonna

1495
01:47:00.279 --> 01:47:02.439
play the twenty seven Yankees. They
had, they had the sounds, they

1496
01:47:02.479 --> 01:47:06.079
had everything in it, and so
bred they made it up. Made it

1497
01:47:06.199 --> 01:47:13.479
