WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:11.720
Quotas. That's quotas. Enter it
now, Bill Cunningham, the Great America,

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:15.359
welcome this war. It's Tuesday afternoon
in the Tri State of weather prices

3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.600
may come to the Tri State later
today or tomorrow, plus about a week

4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.640
from now, it's going to be
a low of zero. So winns arriving

5
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:25.039
big time. But as you may
know, yes, I recall yesterday I

6
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.559
had on Governor Mike Dwan for an
extended period of time talking about the transgender

7
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:34.240
bill and also marijuana. And we
have now the second most powerful man in

8
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.359
the state of Ohio politically, that
is Speaker of the House Jason Stevens.

9
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:42.600
He controls the lower Chamber with an
iron grip. There's ninety nine state representatives

10
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.280
and the Republicans have a super majority. And according to my sources deep in

11
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:52.119
the Capitol, there's going to be
an effort tomorrow to override the veto,

12
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.280
and then the Senate might be a
week or ten days await. But let's

13
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.200
get all the facts. Speaker Jason
Stevens, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham

14
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.039
Show. And first of all,
before we deal with marijuana, the Governor

15
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.599
said yesterday that the main reason he
vetoed the so called transgender bill. House

16
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:12.239
Bill sixty eight dealt with the fact
that he met with some family members whose

17
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.879
daughter slash son was going through the
process, and he looked them in the

18
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.959
eye and he was told that if
he didn't veto this bill, that somehow

19
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.519
their teenage boy or girl would commit
suicide. And so the governor said that

20
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.000
the deaths are on the line.
And I said to the Governor, mister

21
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.760
Speaker that you have Lieutenant Governor said
you're wrong. Secretary of State said you're

22
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.920
wrong, Attorney General said you're wrong. Treasurer said you're wrong. The Speaker

23
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:44.200
of the House of Representatives, you
said you're wrong. Most of the Republicans

24
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.000
in the House say you're wrong.
In fact, everywhere I look, people

25
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.319
say you're wrong. And he said
he's going to do what he perceives to

26
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.640
be right. So, first of
all, can you tell the American people

27
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.000
as we sit here this Tuesday afternoon, what is the status of the possibility

28
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.719
of overriding the veto of Governor Mike
dwain Well. Bill, I appreciate the

29
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.200
opportunity to be on the on the
show today, and you know we have

30
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.560
sessions scheduled for tomorrow to two pm
here in Columbus, and we will be

31
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:20.159
addressing the override of the veto there
at the session. So outstanding, you

32
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.439
know, Snowmageddon coming in or anything
like that, we look for that to

33
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:30.520
happen tomorrow. I would anticipate that
you have whips that are walking around your

34
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.000
caucus and saying, who's in,
who's out? Are you on what degree

35
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.039
between one to ten? Are you
confident you'll have the votes to override the

36
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.479
veto and the House of Representatives?
Is it a one, which is you

37
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.960
know, not very likely, or
a ten very likely? Where are you

38
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.759
on the Richter scale? Oh?
I think it's it's very likely. And

39
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.120
you know this this issue was not
terribly difficult to whip people, you know.

40
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.280
And here's the thing is, the
House is voted on this bill.

41
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.919
We voted on back in June,
passed it over to the Senate. The

42
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.759
Senate modified it a little bit,
and the same day that the Senate passed

43
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.439
it back in December, you know, we voted it to the Governor's desk.

44
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.560
So the House was voted on this
issue twice before, and so you

45
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.639
know, both times well over sixty
votes. And you know that's the threshold

46
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.479
fifty nine or sixty, depending on
who he asked. But I don't think

47
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:29.680
it's it'll be over sixty. You
know, when the V two override comes,

48
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.719
can you tell the American people?
Can you respond to the governor who

49
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.120
said that I looked in the eyes
of parents and teenage boys slash girls,

50
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:45.039
and they told me that they would
die commit suicide if I didn't do this.

51
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:46.879
Now, you know, Mike de
Wine's a family guy. I like

52
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.800
Mike. I've liked Mike for thirty
years. I've caught some flak for that

53
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:55.080
over the years for many hard rock
ribbed conservatives, But nonetheless I like Mike

54
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.680
de Wine. He's been to his
I've been to his house, he's been

55
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.680
to mind. We've broken break we
talk. You know, he's a good

56
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.520
guy. Well, how do you
respond to his argument that he met with

57
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.520
people who said if I didn't do
this, somebody's going to die. I

58
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.960
think there are you know, and
I think this happens with a lot of

59
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.400
issues. There are good people on
both sides of an issue. They just

60
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.360
have a different way of solving an
issue or dealing with the issue. And

61
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.639
this is one that in the House
we've dealt with for the past three years

62
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.759
as far as having many, many
witnesses on both sides of the issue.

63
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.040
And you know, this House or
this bill was vetted through committee. You

64
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.560
know, we voted it in the
House. It went through the whole entire

65
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.120
process. And I will remind folks
this is the reason we have the committees,

66
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.839
why we have testimony and the opportunity
for people to hear, you know,

67
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.279
what may be wrong or what may
be right with any bill, but

68
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:51.000
especially this bill. And I think
it's important that this is a bill that

69
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:57.319
helps to you know, empower parents
and it protects children, and that is

70
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.560
where we're at. And I think
the you know, the members of the

71
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.360
House have spoken loudly a couple of
times on this bill, and we will

72
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.439
have the opportunity to do that again
tomorrow. And you know, it's part

73
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.519
of the political process and we will
take that. And I think there's been

74
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.560
a lot of consideration, but you
know, it's it's something that I know

75
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.319
our members still very strongly about that
this bill needs to be in law.

76
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:28.680
Well, the argument of Mike DeWine
is one of conservatism by implication. He

77
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:34.720
seems to be saying that mister Speaker, persons like you are somewhat insensitive when

78
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:39.079
it comes to parental rights and the
government involved. He said, look,

79
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:46.240
if the sixteen year old boy girl
wants to begin hormonal therapy to become transgender,

80
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.000
if the doctor says yes, it
has to be done. If Children's

81
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.839
Hospital in Cincinnati Piches the top in
America and nationwide, and Cleveland Clintic,

82
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.279
he's got all the big hospitals lined
up with him. So he's got the

83
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.519
hospitals, dwind does the doctors,
he's got the parents, and he's got

84
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.079
the patient. And he makes the
argument, who are you to step in

85
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.839
between a parent and a teenager when
it comes to medical care that the hospital

86
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.600
and the doctors all say are reasonable
and necessary. So can you respond to

87
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.600
the argument that you're like a liberal
all of a sudden in which you want

88
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:27.279
government to make decisions for individuals and
not parents and teenagers. Is that value?

89
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.079
I don't agree with that argument at
all. I think there are plenty

90
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.399
of cases as you look around in
society, and we're talking about children here.

91
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:40.040
We're not talking about adults. This
is about children, and there are

92
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.680
many cases, you know, whether
it's you know other places in the law

93
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.720
where kids have to go to school
or you know, there's certain requirements that

94
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.519
we that we put our protections,
if you will, around children. And

95
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:59.000
I think it's an important it's an
important part of raising our kids. Right.

96
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:05.720
And so to say that you know, a parent can decide to you

97
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.160
know, do whatever, you know
their kid needs this, that or the

98
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.639
other thing. I think it's when
it comes to these types of life changing

99
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.480
issues that will have ramifications well into
adulthood that we should allow. You know,

100
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.399
adults should be the ones making those
decisions for their own selves, not

101
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:29.360
a child of any age having that
uh decision in some ways be made for

102
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:36.800
them by their parents. So speaker
Stevens forward for me, you don't view

103
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:42.000
yourself as a liberal. You don't
view yourself as something that once government to

104
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.079
make decisions, Uh, the mine
set. It's up to the it's up

105
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:47.959
to the patients and the doctors,
not up to government to tell. And

106
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.800
I said to the governor, look, you have all kinds of rules and

107
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.199
the regulations Jehovah. Witnesses may say, you know, my kid can't get

108
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.600
a blood transfusion. You go to
court to get the blood transfusion. There

109
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.160
might be some parents who say,
you know what, my kid's never going

110
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.399
to be vaccinated against smallpox. Well
to do a bunch of stuff, you

111
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.480
got to get your childhood vaccination.
A lot of parents say, my kid

112
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.319
doesn't belong in a child safety seat. I believe in kids roaming around and

113
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.360
making their own decisions. Well,
government says you can't make that decision.

114
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:16.720
You have to do that. So
there's all kinds of things. But of

115
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.360
course DeWine said somehow this is different. Now, Speaker Stevens, did what

116
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:26.120
happened on Friday change your view at
all? Because Governor DeWine said on Friday

117
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.480
issuing an executive order that I would
imagine for everyone in the state of Ohio,

118
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:39.480
you can't have surgical intervention until there's
all kinds of procedures through hospitals or

119
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.960
whatever be involved. Did that change
your opinion at all? When Governor Mike

120
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.840
DeWine added a little extra on Friday, Well, I think you know it

121
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.840
was a step in the right direction. But I think what's important to remember

122
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.600
is is when the legislature puts it
in, you know, it becomes part

123
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.879
of its law, and you know, an executive order is just that,

124
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.879
you know, depending on who's head
of the executive branch that how that is

125
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.720
implemented. So I think it's important
for the law to be on the books

126
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.440
and you know, as we work
through the rules process, you know,

127
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.919
that's part of you know, how
we how we administer the laws. I

128
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.320
think that's important as well. But
I do believe that having this state of

129
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.159
Ohio that would tell an Ohio adult, that is, someone over eighteen that

130
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.759
they cannot go through hormonal replacement and
they or they can't have surgical change.

131
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.840
Would you support a law for an
adult Ohio one to be restricted and transgenderism

132
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.279
when it comes to hormones and surgery? Would you support that or not?

133
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.360
Yeah, that's a great question.
Bill. I think it's important that you

134
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.679
know, people have their freedom to
do what they want to, but also

135
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.440
in these kind of situations, I
think it's also important that they have to

136
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.200
have some sort of you know,
some sort of counseling and some sort of

137
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.919
you know, the pros and the
cons and all of that sort of thing

138
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.960
before you know, adult makes that
decision. I think that's you know,

139
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.720
the best practice of any kind of
medical care. But you know, what

140
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.440
we're talking about in this issue is, you know, it's about kids,

141
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:15.679
It's about people eight under eighteen,
and I think that is important. But

142
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.000
you know, as you know,
somebody forty years old that's you know,

143
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.279
full grown and wants to do whatever. That's pretty much. You know,

144
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.360
I'm pretty uh pretty. You know, it's America, right, You get

145
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.519
to do what you want to do. You know, is we we we

146
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:33.519
say where I'm from. You know
my unofficial our unofficial mottos, you're not

147
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.720
the bossomy. So you know,
once you get to that, once you

148
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.960
get to that level that I think
it's a much different question than what you

149
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.440
know happens to a twelve or thirteen
year old in this situation. Now.

150
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.679
Secondly, Speaker Jason Stevens of the
leader of the Ohio House of Representatives,

151
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.000
I spoke with the governor yesterday about
marijuana. He was less than kind when

152
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.919
it came to the House of Representatives, namely you and not acting more quickly

153
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.200
when it comes to marijuana. He
said, there's products being sold in gas

154
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:11.360
stations that have allucinogenic effects that kids
can buy. That give you an example.

155
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.120
I had a county prosecutor tell me
they went to the Bengals game against

156
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.679
the Browns on Sunday and there was
marijuana being smoked in the smoking section.

157
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.919
Wherever you can smoke a cigarette,
you can smoke marijuana. And that was

158
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:30.279
upsetting to some and so we have
basically little or no rules when it comes

159
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.279
to marijuana. You can smoke marijuana
right now in Ohio. You can grow

160
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.480
marijuana from from seed to joint.
It takes about three to four months,

161
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.080
however, but you cannot actually legally
buy it. And the governor wants you

162
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.399
to act quickly? Will you heed
the governor's call? Well, I will.

163
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.240
I will say this. I've been
to a Bengals game before the uh

164
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.960
before before the marijuana was legalized,
and you can certainly smell it in the

165
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.399
parking lot before as well. So
you know, these are things that have

166
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:07.039
happened well before. You know,
the legalization was voted upon, and I

167
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:13.320
think what's important is is it's balancing
the you know, the will of people.

168
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.519
Fifty seven percent of the people voted
for it. It's something that you

169
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.519
know, as you get into the
details of the law, you know that

170
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.720
was voted on. You know there's
a lot of runway, if you will,

171
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.480
before it can be sold as recreational. It's all the way up until

172
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.799
June before people can't even apply and
for a license to sell it, and

173
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.360
it's not issued until September, maybe
even October, so there is some time

174
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.559
to deal with that. What I
think is important and what we've tried to

175
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.240
do in the House is to be
very deliberative on what are we actually doing,

176
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.039
because here's the thing, in my
opinion, if we if you know,

177
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.200
marijuana is going to be legal in
Ohio, recreational marijuana, But what

178
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.600
is important is to have that business
structure done in a way so that it's

179
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.679
done effectively, because if the business
ructure of the recreational marijuana is not done

180
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.240
correctly, you know, the black
market is going to grow anyway, right

181
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.120
or if you have the tax rate
be so high that nobody's going to want

182
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.919
to buy legal marijuana, they'll either
drive to Michigan or they'll do it on

183
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.840
their own. And I think some
of those issues, you know, we

184
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.759
can deal with either through the rule
making process or you know, taking time

185
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.120
to look at it. And even
even within the Republican caucus too, we

186
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:28.799
have a wide array of what people's
opinions are all the way from you know,

187
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.159
they voted to know and want to
ban it forever to you know it

188
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.840
should be legal, you know,
as legal as can be, I guess.

189
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:43.240
So really coming to that conclusion and
coming to that consensus to change a

190
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.519
law that the voters voted on,
you know, I would rather err on

191
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.240
the side of being more deliberative and
taking our time. And you know,

192
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.720
we've had legalized marijuana, I guess
for over a month now in Ohio,

193
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.399
and you know, we're still you
know, the sun still comes up,

194
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.360
and we still want to deal with
that. But there's still plenty of time

195
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.000
to address the issue and legislatively addressing
it at this point, you know,

196
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.679
I'm sure you know, as time
goes on, you know, every GA

197
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.399
in the future, there'll probably be
tweaks to the industry and that sort of

198
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.480
thing. But to do an absolute
overhaul within you know, a few minutes

199
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.679
after the people have spoken, I
think being deliberative about that and getting consensus

200
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.159
from all sides is more important than
hurrying up and pushing something through that may

201
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.559
be more harmful than good. So, Speaker, you're saying that Governor says

202
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.679
get it done now or in February, there's an article in the enquire about

203
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.080
how slow this is going. You're
saying, this likely we'll not already done.

204
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.840
Well, it's already done. The
people spoke in November. And it's

205
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.440
not that it's not done. I
mean that would be my point is it

206
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.559
is done. It's just what needs
to be done to change it. And

207
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.879
I think some of the issue as
far as the debate that we've had is

208
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.639
what to do with the tax revenue. And you know, the way the

209
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.720
legislation was written, it was it
was more written towards you know, state

210
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.759
bureaucrats being the ones that kind of
administer the money. This is a general

211
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.080
statement whereas you know, if I
was wanting to change shit, I would

212
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.799
think it would be more important that
the local communities, you know, where

213
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.879
the where the stuff is sold,
should be the ones receiving the tax money

214
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:30.399
and not not the bureaucracy in Columbus. So that's been some of our conversation,

215
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.200
you know, behind the scenes,
is what's best because if the local

216
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.759
communities are generating that tax revenue and
they're going to have to deal with whatever

217
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.919
the fallout may be, that they
should be the ones who control where that

218
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.759
money is spent. Now, lastly, about a minute remaining, Speaker Jason

219
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:52.559
Stevens Ohio House representatives, the abortion
issue passed over many of our objections.

220
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.279
But nonetheless, the people have spoken. And I had on all the great

221
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.639
debates on Issue one, back and
forth, fifty seven percent said abortion on

222
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.519
demand all the way up and through
birth. That's the way it is.

223
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.000
And some said that during the debate, well, this doesn't affect parental notification,

224
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:14.320
this doesn't affect the fetal tissue remains
issue, it doesn't affect the sonogram.

225
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.320
And I'm thinking, wait a minute, when I read Issue one,

226
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.480
it seemed to wipe those things completely
away, as a speaker of the House,

227
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.000
with state Issue one, which is
abortion on demand forever through birth,

228
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:33.120
do those other aspects of the Statutes
of Ohio remain when it comes to parental

229
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:38.320
consent notification, fetal tissue disposal,
et cetera, or all those things done?

230
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.279
You know, really is that is
going to probably be up to the

231
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:47.480
courts to figure out the details of
each one of those as how it applies

232
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.320
to the to the new constitutional amendment. You know, I don't have any

233
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.960
intention. I don't believe the Republican
Caucus has any intention to remove any of

234
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.360
those laws from the books. So
I think, you know, over time,

235
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.839
those will be tested in the courts. And I think also over time,

236
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:10.240
you know, we will see the
impacts of this constitutional amendment and you

237
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:15.640
know we'll we will have to deal
with those as a society really and you

238
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.960
know, well we will. You
know, it's just one of those things

239
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.559
where you have to say, we'll
see. But really, you know,

240
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:26.680
as sore as the legislature dealing with
the issue, I think it's it will

241
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:33.279
it will be sometime in the very
distant future that before we will have to

242
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.440
address that because most of those issues
will go through the courts. Uh,

243
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:37.920
you know, over the next several
years, I would, I would guess,

244
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:44.400
and we'll see how those work out. Speaker Jason Stevens hah Ohio House

245
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:48.519
of Representatives, thank you for coming
on the Bill Cunningham Show and responding to

246
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.960
what the governor said yesterday. Speaker, thank you very much, absolutely,

247
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.400
thank you, Bill, have a
great day. Thank you. Let's continue

248
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.720
with more line becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine,

249
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.359
seven thousand. There you have it
all on news radio seven hundreds that

250
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:08.039
ULW Do you know how much one
thousand dollars in Coin's Way by Billy Cunningham,

251
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:12.200
the Grand American of course in eighteen
ninety nine, during the last couple

252
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:18.240
of years of the William McKinley administration. As Western Southern was flourishing in the

253
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:25.000
riverboat business and more, a tennis
tournament started I think at Coney Island and

254
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:30.559
it's been going continuously since eighteen ninety
nine. And big news were announced a

255
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.960
couple of months ago and John Barrett, Now yesterday some more news came out.

256
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.759
John Barrett, Welcome again to the
Bill Cunningham Show. And John the

257
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.480
Cincinnati Opened. Explain how that name
came together? Who will it be presented

258
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:47.000
by? And I know the sacrifice
Western Southern made in order to take the

259
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:51.880
name off, which is this tennis
tournament's like your baby, like your third

260
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.319
child. But nonetheless, talk if
you can tell the American people had the

261
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.519
name come about, and how are
things going with the tennis tournament now?

262
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:03.079
Sure? Actually, if our name
couldn't be on it, this is the

263
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.839
name we hoped would be on it. And we actually pitched the Bimont Capital

264
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.799
people with calling it Cincinnati Opened.
There was discussion of calling it the Midwestern

265
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.440
and I said, no, don't
do that. We used to have a

266
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:21.079
Midwestern also, But I said,
if you're going to try for sponsorship,

267
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:26.759
the Cincinnati companies want to sponsor Cincinnati
named things, and you know, everything

268
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.759
that we've worked on with the Bemont
folks has seemed to work out the way

269
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:36.759
we we hoped it would or recommended
it would, and we were They've been

270
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:45.720
very open to our input, which
we really appreciate. While we hate giving

271
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.200
up the ownership and everything, you
know, title sponsorship and everything. They're

272
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.440
going to have an awful lot of
money invested in this tournament. It'll be

273
00:19:53.839 --> 00:20:00.519
in half being in range over the
next three years or so, and they

274
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.839
deserve to do what they want to
do with it. However, I think

275
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:11.400
that by making the Cincinnati open,
it's much more likely to have other great

276
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:18.799
companies in this area free to invest
in it because it's not the Western Southern

277
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.039
you know what I mean, it's
all of our tournament. And as far

278
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.559
as the uh, the changes when
you go up and down seventy one,

279
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.759
you can see a lot of stuff
going on. However, Uh, the

280
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.160
dates have been said, it's going
to be two weeks, gonna be a

281
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.960
couple, it's gonna be a it's
going to be a two week event.

282
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.920
It's going to be unbelievable, and
uh, Cocoa Golf. I assume is

283
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:42.519
going to come back to defend her
title, and who knows about the joker,

284
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:47.960
He may be going for something special. And uh, and yeah,

285
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:53.119
all of all of them, by
contract, all of the stars had to

286
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:59.480
appear in nine tournaments and this is
one of the nine in the world.

287
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.720
It's the sort of their deal.
They so they'll all be there. They'll

288
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.359
all be there. And the most
important thing is by being one of these

289
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:15.119
masters one thousand series tournaments, you
get like the top fifty men in the

290
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.240
top twenty women by contract, and
that will expand and this tournament's can double

291
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:25.359
in size and have like one hundred
and ninety six entrance. That's a whohole

292
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.799
bunch of players. Yeah, and
as far as yeah, go ahead.

293
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.839
You said something about three or four
weeks ago, which is stuck with me,

294
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.839
and that we live here, we
were born here of city government,

295
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.960
county government, the fighting, the
arguing, the squabbling, things of that

296
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:49.400
character. But you said Cincinnati is
a small major city that has all the

297
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:55.200
accoutiments of a New York, Los
Angeles and Chicago without the downside. So

298
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:59.599
when you traveled, can you explain
that again to the American because we missed

299
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:04.519
the big picture. Sometimes we live
way above our means considering we're, you

300
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:12.000
know, a two point four million
person metro area, which is good size,

301
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:18.079
but it's not ten or twelve or
twenty and so we have world class

302
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:26.599
arts, restaurants, entertainment. We're
lucky that we live in a beautiful terrain.

303
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.920
Man, the glacier stopped here and
left these hills the river. But

304
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:33.759
I think the big thing about it
and we got, like, what the

305
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:38.680
second best airport in the world physically, yeah, misbrate that and the best

306
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:44.160
United States behind one. I think
in Helsinki. We've got so many things

307
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.559
here that are so good and so
good to build upon. You just heard

308
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:53.839
that the old bantive part of Fifth
Third is going to be relocating here from

309
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:59.839
Jacksonville, Florida. What a win, huge, and kudos to the folks

310
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:06.279
got that done. Ge Aircraft,
which is the survivor of the Ge the

311
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:11.799
three Ge breakups, looks like it's
going to be right here, right here

312
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.839
in River City. That is a
big deal. That's a fortune one hundred

313
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.359
company. You've got P and G, which they don't get any flag than

314
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:23.839
that. Kroger's the biggest retail of
groceries. I think in the world.

315
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:29.720
I mean, you go through this
list. What has held our city back

316
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:37.880
has been parochial views of the world. Our banks. Now I look back

317
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.640
on from the biggest mistakes. The
old Star Bank in fifth Third should have

318
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:48.519
been merged. We would now have
a giant there instead of just fifth third.

319
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:53.440
US Bank is downsized what they had
here. We over the years wanted

320
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.720
to get together with Ohio National and
Union Central and create a big juggernaut of

321
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:04.720
life company. That didn't happen.
You know, we've lost so many We've

322
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:12.079
lost Federaid, We've lost mercantil stores, We've lost USU and our machine tool

323
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:17.480
industry. In nineteen fifty we're the
headquarters of the world with fifty machine tool

324
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:22.039
companies. Now we have won.
So you say why, It's because we

325
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:26.440
we were a city state and we
didn't we knew how good we had it.

326
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:33.880
We didn't appreciate the importance of continuing
to invest in yourselves just to always

327
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.960
be state of the art. John
Barrett, Yeah, CEO, what worries

328
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:44.799
you long term? Because I think
about taxes, I think about crime,

329
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.279
I think about the cost of public
education in the city. Is there something

330
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.480
when you when you put your feet
up and at the end of a hard

331
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:53.720
day of work and you kind of
think, well, the Barretts and the

332
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:59.440
Williamses have been here, the Castellanies
for one hundred and fifty years, and

333
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.240
you're going to be here in another
one hundred and fifty years. What kind

334
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.240
of worries you about? You go
over the list of things that we've lost,

335
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.319
a lot of things we've won.
What kind of worries you in the

336
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:15.400
next ten to twenty years? More
than anything talk radio and cable news that

337
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:23.000
keep everybody at each other's throats.
Actually, I think my biggest fear worry

338
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:30.359
is that the lack of depth in
our political discussions, the lack of depth

339
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.839
and the people who want to run
for office, the lack of quality discussion

340
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:42.039
when there are issues. Those things
bother me. And as America changes and

341
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:48.960
evolves, we are still by far
the place everybody wants to be everybody,

342
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:53.640
and for us to stay that way, we've got to continue to innovate and

343
00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:00.839
try things and do things right and
not get stuck on somebody's whim of the

344
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.519
moment. You know what I mean? We have many If I look back,

345
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.559
I remember, for the longest time
in business, everybody talked about management

346
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:11.599
by objective blah blah blah blah blah
blah. And I thought to myself,

347
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.359
that's just common sense. Right.
We don't hear that at all anymore.

348
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:22.079
But for ten years that's all the
consultants sold. Are you concerned about increased

349
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.519
income taxes? If city council right
now the county commissioners are squabbling, but

350
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:32.640
nonetheless city council, are you worried
about them? Increasing income taxes might not

351
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:34.519
be a bad thing, Willie,
It would be a bad thing. What

352
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:40.559
I would say is the politicians can
ruin a city and drive people out.

353
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:48.400
Ask the people of New York,
Chicago, San Francisco if those situations weren't

354
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:57.359
truly exacerbated by horrible political management.
Yeah, absolutely, and we have we

355
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:02.400
I won't say that we've got the
best in the world, but we haven't

356
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:07.599
been quite that dumb, unfortunately.
But we might be going the wrong way

357
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.920
on that. We've got to be
careful about that, right, because anybody

358
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.359
could easily move to Kenton County.
I know mister Linder twenty five thirty years

359
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:19.519
ago talked about going to Boone County, taking his operations out of Cincinnati.

360
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:23.119
He said, I just can't do
it. He didn't, And government can

361
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.880
chase business away and it begins the
culture. Well, we bought three hundred

362
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:33.279
acres out by the airport. It's
beautiful. Our hope is that we get

363
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:40.200
other people from out of town to
come in and we develop headquarters and top

364
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:42.839
flight operations centers for them there.
But it's always one of those things where

365
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.000
you say, you know, if
it gets so bad, there are are

366
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:49.400
options, right right. It's nothing
that we would do easily. Nothing we

367
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:55.000
do easily, but why would we
ever want to only if the place becomes

368
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:59.160
untenable. Well, hopefully it's up
to the politicians to an extent and make

369
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:03.799
sure that doesn't have happened. But
the Cincinnati Open eighteen ninety nine, McKinley

370
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.519
in office. Here we are I
think Joe Biden was born a couple of

371
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.440
days before he took office in eighteen
ninety nine. Now Biden's in office and

372
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:17.119
hopefully for the next twenty five years
minimum that the Western and Southern Open has

373
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.599
now become the Cincinnati Open, and
he'll be here for decades to come.

374
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:25.559
Once again, John Barrett Ramsey's the
second thank you again this Tuesday, afternoon

375
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:30.440
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Willie Ben Nabarrow's crowd has agreed to

376
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:36.799
twenty five more years. I mean, it's unbelievable and thank you for your

377
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:40.960
support. And I think the whole
city, the whole community, the whole

378
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.519
region is behind this tournament and will
be for a long long time. I'll

379
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.400
say this, I'll be here in
twenty five years. If you promised to

380
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.519
be here in twenty five years.
Everything I can possibly do to ensure that

381
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.960
will be done. All right,
John Barrett, thank you very much for

382
00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.519
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show and
hunker down the next few days is going

383
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.680
to be colder than a weld diggers
behind in about a week, but somehow

384
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.039
we'll get through it. John Barrett, thank you very much once again for

385
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.480
coming this Tuesday afternoon. You're Will
Huntingham Show. Thank you, John,

386
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:14.200
thank you, thank honest. Let's
continue with more coming up later. Is

387
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.599
those who are not concerned so much
about the environment because the facts they say

388
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.720
are wrong. That's after one o'clock
at Shome of the Reds and the Bengals

389
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.240
getting ready in about five weeks.

you have water in your basement,
standing water in your yard? Or structural

401
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:22.599
in nuts? Also, one of
the principles of politics is when you're all

402
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.519
Democrats or all Republicans, have no
one to fight with of the opposite party,

403
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:32.000
you simply fight with each other.
And you just heard that from from

404
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:36.599
the Speaker of the House, Stevens. Relative to what's going on now with

405
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.440
your good friend of mine, Mike
DeWine, and that they generally are on

406
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:44.519
the same page. But you can't
fight with Republicans because you can't find any

407
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.759
in Columbus and state government. So
therefore you fight with each other. We'll

408
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.240
see what happens. Also, on
the County commission you may have heard Alisha

409
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:59.000
Reese on this morning with Scott Sloan, and unnecessarily Stephanie Dumas took some serious

410
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:04.000
shots at Alisha Reese. The president
of the County Commissioner is largely it is

411
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:10.000
a ceremonial position. So at this
particular event yesterday, Alisha Reese had her

412
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:14.279
husband, Steve I'm sorry, had
her father Steve, had family members,

413
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:18.920
had ministers there. It was kind
of a ceremonial deal. So Stephanie Dumas

414
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.680
said she could not vote for Alisha
Reese. Fellow Democrats. She said,

415
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.000
I look at what makes a great
leader, and a great leader, every

416
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:32.519
voice counts. We provide positive guidance, We lead by example. You're honest,

417
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:37.200
you're transparent, you're humble, you're
unselfish, you collaborate, you're compassionate,

418
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.839
you're a good listener, you respect
the opinions of others. You're not

419
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.759
argumentative, and you're a team player. This is the implication that all those

420
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:51.559
things she discussed, Alisha Reese is
not And at the end of it,

421
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:53.880
Alisiha Reese said, I guess I
have to defend myself. If I didn't

422
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:57.160
know any better. I think it's
a personal attack on my character. And

423
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:05.680
this was done at a ceremonial fund
and reading the important aspect of public speak.

424
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:29.200
The Roar Insurance Agency has been meet
Climate Science Coalition of America, an

425
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.319
author of four great books on energy, climate change, and sustainable development,

426
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:38.519
over one hundred thousand in print.
And Steve's book The Green Breakdown came out

427
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:42.759
in August and after the last four
or five months it's the best seller.

428
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.920
And Steve Gorham first of all in
twenty twenty four, welcome again to the

429
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:50.160
Bill Cunningham Show. I have so
much to talk with you about. But

430
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.640
the first thing is this I met. I referenced to off the air that

431
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:59.240
I read over New Year's and I'm
reading into this column, which is by

432
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:04.079
the way, quite and it references
the fact that the planet is dying.

433
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:08.640
The woman's name is Anna Lee.
She's an intern at CNN, and she

434
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:14.519
says, if temperatures weren't rising.
I choose the name Athena for a girl.

435
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.839
If the rivers are safe, I'd
choose William for a boy. If

436
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.079
I could breathe clean air on my
morning commute, I'd paint the nursery a

437
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:27.359
warm yellow. She goes on to
say that she and Oliver gen Z buddies

438
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:32.599
those born between nineteen ninety seven and
twenty twelve are done having children because the

439
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:37.960
planet is dying. Were all going
to be dust in the wind. May

440
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:42.240
I get your reaction first? Yeah, Happy New Year, Bill, Great

441
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:45.279
to join you again. That's just
such a very, very sad situation.

442
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:51.680
We've had only one degree of warming
since one degree celsius since eighteen eighty one

443
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:53.759
hundred and forty years. Have been
many times in the past when it's been

444
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:59.039
warmer. She's worried about her air
being clean, But the air is the

445
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:04.759
cleanest there in probably eighty or one
hundred years. We used to be burning

446
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:10.920
coal in furnaces and homes. And
there's just no evidence that her not having

447
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.559
a child is going to have any
effect on the climate. And all the

448
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:19.480
other young people that are misguided about
these issues. Well, and one other

449
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:22.760
point in this column is that forty
percent. This isn't a fringe idea.

450
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:30.559
Among child bearing women forty percent in
the University of bath I think that's In

451
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:35.400
England study, forty percent said that
they will not have children because there's no

452
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:40.280
future, no children. And among
them, eighteen year old Emma Lynn said

453
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:44.840
quote, I'm giving up my dream
of being a mother. I'm not going

454
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:50.400
to necessarily kill my own children.
It's like, it's just it's terrible.

455
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:52.519
She won't have enjoyed the family.
And when she gets to be seven years

456
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:57.519
old and realizes that the climate hasn't
been destroyed, she'll have no family.

457
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:00.159
I mean, it just is very, very and we have all these leaders

458
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:07.320
running around the world spouting this stuff. It's just crazy. I mean an

459
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:14.079
example is John Kerrey at the recent
COP twenty eight climate conference. He said

460
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:17.480
we should we shouldn't allow a coal
plant anywhere in the world. And that's

461
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:24.400
just a just a radically crazy statement. The world gets thirty five percent of

462
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:29.239
its electricity right now from cold fired
power plants. We have four thousand of

463
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:32.679
those plants out there, another a
thousand are being built, are in planning.

464
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.800
Yet we have an electricity shortage around
the world seven hundred people don't have

465
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:43.840
access to electricity. We have another
two billion that have blackouts or brownouts every

466
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:49.280
day or every other day. We
have hundreds of hospitals that don't have electricity.

467
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.159
If you can imagine that, no
air conditioning, no electricity for an

468
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.559
operating room, and mister Kerrey's running
around saying we got to get rid of

469
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:59.400
all the electricity plants. I mean, it just is remarkable and very very

470
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:02.239
sad. It injures people, not
only this woman in a wealthy nation,

471
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:07.920
but all the people in poor nations
around the world. Where does this come

472
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.199
from, Steve Going, Where does
it come from? I think almost like

473
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:15.440
an indoctrination. If somebody had been
in Clyde Gay's classes at the Harvard before

474
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:21.280
she became president for a few weeks
and then lost her job. The radicalism

475
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:23.800
is unbelievable. It's almost as if
when kids come out of college, we

476
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:28.480
have to have like a deep programming
school. We have to do something to

477
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.639
get these children away from the indoctrination. But the first step has got to

478
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:36.559
be to stop the indoctrination. Any
hope of that. I want to talk

479
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:40.559
about air conditioning, but tell me
about this, well, Leo, the

480
00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:45.800
phrases climatism. Climatism is an ideology. It's very powerful. It's the belief

481
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:52.159
that humans are causing dangerous global warming. It's spouted by all the political leaders

482
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:55.039
in the world, and it ought
to be called what it is. It's

483
00:36:55.079 --> 00:37:00.800
a powerful ideology, and unfortunately people
believe this. This is a big the

484
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:06.760
biggest superstition in modern history, that
a trace gas is causing dangerous global warming,

485
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:12.599
and it's just captured most everyone.
It's very, very unfortunate. And

486
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:15.559
the world is spending about a trillion
dollars a year and they want to spend

487
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:20.480
four or five trillion a year on
renewables to try and try and stop the

488
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:23.599
planet from warming. But that isn't
going to have any effect. Global warming

489
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:29.159
continues to be dominated by natural factors, not man made emissions. And as

490
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:34.719
far as I can recall as a
child, I live in little Cincinnati,

491
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:37.920
Ohio, and Cincinnati is like in
a bowl. Cincinnati is like the basin,

492
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:42.800
and on either side are the hills
of Kentucky and then the rise of

493
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.719
Ohio to the north, and in
the middle is the city of Cincinnati.

494
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:52.079
I can specifically recall smog or smoke, whatever you want to say. On

495
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:54.559
the basin of Cincinnati. As a
child, you can look out over from

496
00:37:54.559 --> 00:38:00.239
the University of Cincinnati, look down
on Cincinnati into Covington, Kentucky, and

497
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:06.239
there'd be a permanent haze there in
the wintertime, a permanent haze. And

498
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:09.880
my mother tells me about the horses, the cows, the mules dropping feces,

499
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:15.920
thousands and thousands of mosquitoes and flies, people walking in it. Living

500
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:20.320
in a small for three to five
months every year. Because of the coal

501
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:23.760
fired power plants, the coal was
delivered from the strait into the basement,

502
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:28.920
then put into the furnaces. Can
you Amaine? And that's the way it

503
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:31.199
is the most of the world,
correct, But not in America. Yeah,

504
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:36.559
our pollutions down about ninety eight percent
since the nineteen fifties. My grandfather

505
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:39.119
had a coal furnace in his basement
and he did the same thing. And

506
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:43.320
in Chicago, after four or five
days in the winter, after it snowed,

507
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:45.880
you'd see a black film of coal
dust. And all these young folks

508
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:50.159
who think the air so terrible,
does they don't know what spring cleaning was

509
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:54.000
for. Literally, in the nineteen
fifties, everybody in the spring would wash

510
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:59.239
the inside of their walls in their
houses to take off the coal dust.

511
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:04.000
Driving past Gary, Indiana and a
film covered our windows, we had to

512
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.840
stop and wipe off our windows from
the steel mills, or driving into southern

513
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:10.960
California through the Mojave Desert in the
nineteen sixties and watching the smog roll up

514
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.760
the desert. Our era is very
very clean nowadays, and we need to

515
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:17.440
continue to reduce that. By the
way, We've done a terrific job,

516
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.159
and that's because we put the scrubbers
on our coal plants, and our volatile

517
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:29.000
organic compounds out of automobile exhaust are
down ninety eight percent since the nineteen seventies.

518
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.679
So our era is very very clean. But now everybody's doing handsprings over

519
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:37.519
carbon dioxide, which isn't the pollutant
in any case. So we admit about

520
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:43.400
everybody breeds out about two pounds of
carbon dioxide every single day and it makes

521
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:49.239
the plants grow. So this is
completely completely haywire that we have all these

522
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.119
government leaders running around spouting things.
You know, do you hear what this

523
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:55.239
is? Clinton said to Hillary Clinton, she wants to it. She learned

524
00:39:55.239 --> 00:40:00.440
from COVID when every day we were
posting deaths around the world every single day.

525
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:02.400
You could see it on the internet. Well, she wants to start

526
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:09.079
posting climate deaths now and because there's
been some heat waves, but she doesn't

527
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:14.000
realize, guess what, we're having
fewer deaths because warm temperatures are better for

528
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:17.519
people. So but you know,
it just goes on and on. Well,

529
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:22.440
there was a story we got to
talk about the what we're headed for

530
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:24.679
in the green breakdown, But there
was a story in the Wall Street Journal

531
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:29.880
about Ford dealers having you spend a
half a million to a million dollars each

532
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:35.639
to become e compliant with Ford.
And the Ford dealers are almost in rebellion

533
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:38.960
because they can't sell evs. Explain
what's happening there, because that's part of

534
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:43.360
the green breakdown. I think,
yeah, they're having a revolt. The

535
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:49.000
Ford dealers don't want to sell evs. GM has done a different thing.

536
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:52.000
They're doing a buyout on all their
dealers that don't want to do it because

537
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:57.480
they want to force this on everybody. But it's no doubt electric vehicles have

538
00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:00.400
hit a speed mump. Inventories are
up over three hundred percent at these these

539
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:06.840
dealers. Ford Motor is losing forty
to sixty thousand dollars on each EV sold.

540
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:12.280
We have the price of used electric
vehicles has dropped thirty percent in the

541
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:15.440
last year thirty percent. And oh, by the way, the federal government

542
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:19.920
keeps pouring money into this. You
know, there's a subsidy of up to

543
00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:23.480
seven thousand dollars if you buy an
EV our tax dollars a tax credit,

544
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:28.639
and then if you buy a used
one, there's another up to four thousand

545
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:31.800
dollars subsidy, and if that's sold
again, there's another federal subsidy. I

546
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:36.199
mean, it just goes on and
on and on. Here. This crazy

547
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:39.440
idea that if we all drive electric
vehicles we can stop the oceans from rising

548
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:46.639
sounds like Obama. Well again,
it's this part of this big misconception,

549
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:51.760
the superstition. And by the way, hey, in Cincinnati or in Chicago,

550
00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:53.880
it's cold weather and a real tough
to charge your EV right now,

551
00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:58.360
particularly outside. You got to run
your you got to hit your garage all

552
00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:02.239
within it, which isn't very very
cost effective if you want to charge your

553
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:07.320
EV. Let's talk about the green
breakdown that lies ahead, and part of

554
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:10.559
your book deals with Okay, we're
going to have a come to Jesus moment,

555
00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:15.519
and what do you see coming?
Twenty twenty four is here? What

556
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:19.239
do you see coming between now and
twenty thirty. Yeah, so the world

557
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.920
is driving for a thing called zero
by twenty fifty. They want to get

558
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:25.400
rid of all the coal, oil
and natural gas. They want to force

559
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.719
a way to drive electric vehicles,
and they want get everybody to use electric

560
00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:34.800
stoves instead of gas stoves. But
we're already seeing a breakdown. I was

561
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:37.519
predicting maybe a decade out, but
we're seeing some of this now. Offshore

562
00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:40.360
wind in the East Coast, about
half of those projects say they can't make

563
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:47.079
money and they've pulled out. In
Germany, Zeeman's Wind Energy just got a

564
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:52.519
ten billion euro bailout from the German
government. We have this ev speed bump

565
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:57.360
slow down, as we talked about. If you look at these stock markets,

566
00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:04.679
the Rennicks Industry Rennix index of the
world's top renewable energy stocks, these

567
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:07.000
things have been down three years in
a row now, the renewable energy companies,

568
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:12.159
and they continue to fall, and
so you know, we're starting to

569
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:15.280
see a problem. Despite all these
efforts of governments to push all this stuff,

570
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:21.559
the economics and the market factors are
winning out and we're going to see

571
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:24.199
a green breakdown. People are going
to demand a return to low cost,

572
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:28.960
reliable energy. They don't want to
put up with higher electricity prices, they

573
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:32.679
don't want to put up with electricity
blackouts and the other problems that this transition

574
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:37.039
is causing. Steve Gorm on one
of the morning talk shows, there was

575
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:42.440
an expert that said, we're pumping
more oil and natural gas than ever before.

576
00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:45.079
There was an environmentalist there who said, you know what, that is

577
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:50.199
a total, complete disaster. The
indoctrination of the young, I think is

578
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:54.480
complete. But as far as going
forward, assuming that this breakdown does occur,

579
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:58.800
and I look what's happening around the
world, and something's got to give

580
00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:02.920
because people not continue to pay four
or five hundred dollars a month in electricity

581
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:08.039
bills they can't afford an ev minimum
wage increases are heribled as if that's the

582
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:13.000
most you can ever make. And
so looking down the road, when this

583
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:16.880
morning we heard that we're pumping more
oil and gas than ever and that's causing

584
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:22.239
problems among the so called greens with
Joe Biden, but as far as why

585
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:27.599
is that happening in a climate in
which he has at this point cut off

586
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.760
so many permits. Is this is
it a good I think it's a great

587
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:34.599
thing for pumping oil and gas.
In fact, that we had more,

588
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:37.679
the price would even come down further. But how the green movement wants to

589
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:43.360
know is Joe Biden on their side
or on normal people side? What would

590
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:46.199
you say about the pumping of all
this oil. Well, everybody wants to

591
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:49.840
be green until it hits their pocketbook, and it tends to be a big

592
00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:52.760
issue of the price of gasoline.
It's still up a dollar and a half

593
00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:58.480
since when Trump left office, and
mister Biden has done a lot of things

594
00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:01.519
to try and stop permit and stopped
drilling. But on the other hand,

595
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:06.400
you know, he's kind of concerned
about that. And so we are the

596
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:12.280
biggest producer of oil. We're the
biggest producer of natural gas in the world,

597
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:15.199
and the biggest exporter of liquified natural
gas, the biggest exporter of propane.

598
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:20.880
We literally kept the lights on in
Europe last winter. They would have

599
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:23.480
had a blackout's all over the continent
if we weren't shipping them liquified natural gas.

600
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:30.079
And so these are really good things
for people. It keeps their prices

601
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:32.159
low. But we have a bunch
of places that are going to suffer.

602
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:37.119
New England is one of those.
They have blocked pipeline building through New York

603
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:40.239
State to the east to the New
England states for many, many years.

604
00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:46.280
England is now importing a bunch of
liquified natural gas at high world prices and

605
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:52.639
winter utility bills. Energy bills cost
over one thousand dollars fro an average size

606
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.400
house in New England. And we're
going to see We're going to see blackouts

607
00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:00.320
there we get a real cold winter. So far, it hasn't been the

608
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:04.800
case this winter and last winter either, but people are going to say,

609
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.159
hey, enough of this. I
don't want to see that the solar farm

610
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.159
next to my house. I don't
want to see those wind turbines blinking on

611
00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:15.159
and off. I want to hold
on to my internal combustion engine car.

612
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:16.719
And I don't want to have to
get a heat pump that doesn't work in

613
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:22.079
cold weather. Despite what all these
leaders say, do you see di lithium

614
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:27.719
crystals described in Star Trek? How
long will it be before we have like

615
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:31.760
this unlimited amount of energy? Maybe
it's cold nuclear fusion. I think Toyota

616
00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:36.119
is going the right way when it
comes to hybrids. But nonetheless, at

617
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:39.199
what point are we going to say, boy, we have dilithium crystals,

618
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:44.760
everything's free, everything's available. How
many decades will that take? Our centuries?

619
00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:50.159
Yeah, well, there are some
possible, possible technological advances that could

620
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:53.639
occur. A nuclear right now is
too expensive. It needs some breakthroughs and

621
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:59.360
costs, but there are opportunities there, possibly with small modular reactors or molten

622
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:05.639
salt react Geothermal is another possible place
where we could come up with some things,

623
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:08.199
but it's very, very tough to
beat the low cost of natural gas,

624
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:15.400
the fuels that come from petroleum.
Today, ninety one percent of world

625
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:21.920
transportation vehicles come from fuels from petroleum, another four percent from natural gas,

626
00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:25.199
only three percent from biofuels, in
about one percent from electricity. So these

627
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:30.920
hydrocarbons continue to dominate their transportation.
They also dominate all of our heavy industries,

628
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:37.079
steel, plastic, cement, ammonia, and it's going to be decades

629
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:42.000
and decades before these things are replaced, if ever. Now, well,

630
00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:45.639
the book is the Green Breakdown,
and I would encourage all young women to

631
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:50.679
get married. I'd encourage young men
to lead a wonderful girl and form a

632
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:54.760
family life, have children. Don't
be filled with fear. This came out

633
00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:58.840
of money, because whenever there's an
issue, follow the money. There's so

634
00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:01.559
much money involved. And the so
called green energy. All of us are

635
00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:06.239
against pollution, but all of us
want cheap, reliable energy. I don't

636
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:09.599
like pollution, and the pollution problem
and developed countries have largely been solved.

637
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:14.639
It's taking care of the rest of
the world. And once again, Steve

638
00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:16.239
Gorm, thank you. And how
do you get your book The Green Breakdown?

639
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:19.840
How does that happen? Yeah,
I think go to my website.

640
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:22.559
I'll send a signed copy Steve Gorham
g O R E H A M dot

641
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:27.519
com. It's also on Amazon and
there are ebooks as well. Steve Gorm,

642
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:29.920
you're the best on this topic.
And once again, let's start to

643
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.239
new year off right by having Steve
Gorm on The Bill Cunningham Show. And

644
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:36.719
Steve, thank you very much for
coming on. Thank you. Bill.

645
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:39.039
Let's continue with more. Do you
like your electricity, you like air conditioning,

646
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:43.039
you like gas heat, you like
gas cooking? Get rid of the

647
00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:47.400
radicals. Bill Cunningham with you every
afternoon on News Radio seven hundred WLW.

648
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:51.920
Hey, were you forced into a
noselead mortgage rate in the past year?

649
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.800
Loan Pronto was here for you.
Hey, it's Eddie denying this. Working

650
00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:01.960
for NBC and doing football games is
helps me immeserably. As an example,

651
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:06.360
and I don't mean to drop names, but just to give you an example

652
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:12.400
of what happened to me over the
weekend. Last Friday, I talked for

653
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:15.960
forty five minutes with Pete Rose,
which will appear on Headfirst. Flew to

654
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.000
Los Angeles. As soon as I
got to Los Angeles, we got in

655
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:22.159
the car and drove to Oxnard,
California, which is where the Los Angeles

656
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:27.039
Raiders work out. I talked with
al Davis for three hours. I talked

657
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:30.039
with Tom Floyes for an hour and
a half. Said Lord to Lyle Alzado.

658
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:32.480
Chris Barr talked to Jim Plunkett.
And I'm not dropping names. I'm

659
00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:36.239
just telling you this is the nature
of my business. Yeah, this is

660
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:38.519
the nature of my business. Yeah, this is the nature of my business.

661
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:44.480
So you hear opinions from other people. That was Friday. Saturday.

662
00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:49.679
I get up walk down to the
Hyatt Regency in downtown Los Angeles, have

663
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:52.480
a cup of coffee with Don Shula, talk to him for about an hour

664
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.039
and a half, shoot the breeze, get out to the ballpark. I

665
00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:59.920
spoke with Danny Thomas. He was
at the game and had just seen Don

666
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:02.400
Crickie and I do a broadcast and
shot the breeze with him for a little

667
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.719
bit. I talk with Al Lokasal
Paul Zimmerman. I saw last weekend of

668
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:13.559
Sports Illustrated. So the people I
come in contact with are my biggest source

669
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:16.119
of information. I listen more than
I talk. When I travel here,

670
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:19.800
I talk on the air, I
talk, but all the rest of the

671
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:30.639
time I do an awful lot of
listening. Hello, Hello, quiet,

672
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:40.760
and I'm Scots. I'm broadcasting Willie. I don't want to drop any names.

673
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:46.119
Yeah, but I run around with
Segman, Dennison, Sheriff, Dave,

674
00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:52.800
Jen Mottley, DJ Hodge, Tony
Bender, Scott Reinhart, Joe Frederick,

675
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:54.360
Joe Frederick. I run around with
those guys. Who do you run

676
00:50:54.400 --> 00:51:01.239
around with? Matt Reese. Let's
say a few other people. I think

677
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:06.639
about Sandy, Brian Combe, Yeah, Brian Combe, everybody, Deniso,

678
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:09.400
everybody. Yeah, you know a
few people Yeah, Dave hit the music

679
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:15.079
Tom Weedman and Sists be Paid played
along with George Hurst hit it. Oh

680
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:20.880
damn, I think this is the
number one hit in Columbus today, don't

681
00:51:20.920 --> 00:51:24.719
you think? Yeah, well,
probably have. They probably don't even mention

682
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:29.880
the score. You know that there
was even a game last night because the

683
00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:37.079
first time is nineteen forty seven that
Michigan has won and national title by itself.

684
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:42.000
In ninety seven they shared it was
a beauty contest with Nebraska, so

685
00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:46.639
supposedly the long time, a long
time, long time Willie, one of

686
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:53.159
the best gps of the country.
Fennix looks the other rucks to down a

687
00:51:53.280 --> 00:52:00.599
scene accepted by sadras So. Mikey
Sandristill has a couple of blockers a time

688
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:13.199
boy NICs again set up inside the
turn. Bucky Sadristoom, the biggest player

689
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:17.519
this defense night. Look how tight
this coverage is, and he decides to

690
00:52:17.559 --> 00:52:22.519
put it in. He does,
having Doonsday back here and he never looked

691
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:25.239
for him. Instead, he tries
to squeeze it in the coverage, even

692
00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:30.519
to the right flat the tight end. Jack Westover is open. It's almost

693
00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:35.119
a checkdown. At least would have
had maybe a chance but instead he tries

694
00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:49.800
to throw a Hail Mary into Jalen
McMillan. All right, seg man,

695
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:53.239
all give me some sports and make
it fast. The stood reporters of Prompt

696
00:52:53.239 --> 00:53:00.119
service of her local temp Star heating
and air conditioning dealers temp Star. Oh

697
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:01.639
of you could feel in Cincinnati colech
Schmid, he'd he goet cool. He

698
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:07.920
get five to one three five three
one sixty nine hundred spots. Did you

699
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:10.719
watch the game? Segment? Did
you watch the game? I watched the

700
00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:15.599
first quarter when Donovan Edwards rushed for
those two touchdowns, and I said,

701
00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:21.079
good night, Irene. He ran
down to the left side of the field.

702
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:23.480
He went down to the right side
of the field, almost untouched,

703
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:28.039
and it was like, Uh,
it's gonna be big Blue. And I'm

704
00:53:28.039 --> 00:53:35.440
not talking about uk Is Harball gone. I don't know they's gone. Well,

705
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:37.519
I guess he's you know, I
mean, what else he's got to

706
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.719
do at Michigan Nothing, So I
guess he's now off to the highest bidder

707
00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:45.159
in the National Football League. They
have six openings plus more. Segment,

708
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:49.039
Right, please give us sports and
make it fast. Also, Willie,

709
00:53:49.119 --> 00:53:52.000
we thank Lear's Prime Market for our
lunch today. For the finest meats trust

710
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:57.960
a Lear's prime market full catering service
to Deluxe Delhi, located there in beautiful

711
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:04.559
downtown Milford. Lears dot com is
the site and you are right. But

712
00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:08.000
first, good news. Willie Bengals
offensive lineman Ted Carris is the winner of

713
00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:15.199
the twenty twenty three Nationwide Charity Challenge
Walter Payton Man of the Year Fan Vote.

714
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:20.719
So that means Nationwide will be awarding
thirty five thousand dollars to Kearris's charity,

715
00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:25.119
The Village of MERCEREESI how many other
Bengals have received that award? The

716
00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:30.360
only one, Ted Carris. What
about Reggie Williams, Well not, he

717
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:35.159
didn't. This was the fan vote, so this was totally different. How

718
00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:38.559
about so he's not the water pace
right, correct, it's a fan vote.

719
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:43.360
Well then, so, but did
he get the award or not?

720
00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:45.679
No, he got the charity challenge. It's the fan vote part of it.

721
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:49.039
It's separate, big deal, the
big deal, see yes, right.

722
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:54.239
Pittsburgh Steelers say defensive star TJ.
Watt is out for Sunday in the

723
00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:59.840
wild card game against Buffalo with a
knee injury. The Tennessee Titans about forty

724
00:54:59.880 --> 00:55:04.679
f five minutes ago fired head coach
Mike Rabel after six seasons. He was

725
00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:07.719
the NFL Coach of the Year in
twenty twenty two, but the Titans went

726
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:10.440
to six and eleven this year.
They were going to try to trade him,

727
00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:14.960
but they said that's going to take
too long. So see you,

728
00:55:16.679 --> 00:55:22.039
that's exactly what they said. The
Titans said, Rabel is out. Well

729
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:25.079
that's a six opening so far,
hallball, we'll get one. But Michigan,

730
00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:30.199
according to Tom Weedman, has offered
him one hundred and twenty five million

731
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:35.440
dollar, ten year contract, one
hundred and twenty five million at Michigan paid

732
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:38.119
for by the faithful. Well maybe, well that'll be unbelievable. They're any

733
00:55:38.199 --> 00:55:43.599
backwood Rabel that may be headed to
New England if they do something with Belichick.

734
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:47.480
Apparently, big twelve home opener tonight
for those Cincinnati Bearcats will ye up

735
00:55:47.519 --> 00:55:52.760
there in Clifton, twenty fifth rank
Texas Longhorns in town. The two teams

736
00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:58.960
have met only twice previously, in
the NCAA Tourney nineteen sixty three and twenty

737
00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:01.440
twenty two. Twenty one. You
see, of course, coming off that

738
00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:07.480
big win on the road Saturday at
BYU six thirty airtime right here on seven

739
00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:12.360
hundred WLW. And don't forget tomorrow
night, Connecticut to defending national chair number

740
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:15.079
four. That's right, Savior,
that is correct tomorrow night at the Sintas

741
00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:19.719
Senna and NKU and Oakland tomorrow night. Also, so Willie, we say

742
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:24.000
congrats to Holy Cross senior Julia Hunt. She has been named the twenty twenty

743
00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:30.400
three twenty four Gatorade Kentucky Volleyball Player
of the Year. Yes, she's a

744
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:36.719
nation's eleven She's a number eleven recruit, rated than the nation's best eleventh rated

745
00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:39.960
recruit. She's six foot two,
a middle blocker with six hundred and seventy

746
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:44.039
eight kills, and she can jump
out of the gime. I put her

747
00:56:44.079 --> 00:56:47.639
in basketball. She also plays basketball. Average is like thirteen points a game.

748
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:52.000
Get her on the court. Let's
see what else is going on here?

749
00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:57.159
What about pitchers and catchers? When
do they report about what? Over

750
00:56:57.239 --> 00:57:00.159
the Reds Reds. The Reds caravan
is starting up here in a couple of

751
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:05.360
weeks, So that's that's the first
sign. And then probably a month after

752
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:08.719
that, Uh, pitchers and catchers
report, and then before you know it,

753
00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:14.719
we wake up tomorrow to be opening
day against those Washington Nationals. I'm

754
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:19.920
getting my speech together already. That's
good. And then let's see what else.

755
00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:24.519
Oh, oh, the Brian Brian
Callahan. Uh, the Carolina Panthers

756
00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:29.400
want to talk to him about their
head coaching job. And the Raider.

757
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:35.280
The Raiders want to talk to Bengals
senior executive Trey Brown in regards to their

758
00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:40.000
opening general manager post. Not Troy, not Troy, but Trey Brown.

759
00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:45.039
I thought Troy was up for that. No, it's Trey Troy, not

760
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:49.280
Troy. So. And then Georgia, you know, they just crowned the

761
00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:53.519
Michigan the national champs. Will he
Georgia has been installed as a favorite to

762
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:59.360
win next year's national title, the
first to be decided by a twelve team

763
00:57:59.480 --> 00:58:06.280
playoff. The Bulldogs are listed at
seventeen to four. Alabama's next at six

764
00:58:06.360 --> 00:58:12.119
to one, with the Ohio State
University Buckeys eight to one. Really,

765
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:15.880
so next year he got twelve teams
in, there'll be a couple buys to

766
00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:17.559
play it off. That means a
whole bunch of teams would have been in.

767
00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:22.880
But I think this year Michigan was
marked with a sign of greatness about

768
00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:27.159
it. They beat Ohio State,
they beat Alabama, who beat Georgia,

769
00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:32.079
and then they kicked the crap in
the National championship game against Washington. Nobody

770
00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:36.280
was going to be Washington. No
one was going to beat Michigan this year.

771
00:58:36.320 --> 00:58:40.199
In fact, I bleed Michigan blue
right now, and also Willie,

772
00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:46.280
we say congrats with Michigan. Jesse
Mintter, their defensive coordinator, the son

773
00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:51.639
of former Cincinnati Bearcats head coach Rick
Minner. What's Rick Minner doing? Now?

774
00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:53.320
You know what? I don't know. You gotta check it out.

775
00:58:53.519 --> 00:59:00.119
I don't know, but Jesse Mintor. Is Pittsburgh having Buffalo this weekend without

776
00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:06.639
t J. Watt? Nothing that's
like. That's like the Bengals having about

777
00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:09.599
a chance to make the playoffs without
Joe Burrow. Of course they can't close.

778
00:59:09.719 --> 00:59:14.880
But not good, not no cigar. Well, Joe had his big

779
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:17.800
news conference yesterday. I imagine he's
getting ready. He said he's gonna be

780
00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:22.000
ready by O t A. So's
see what happens. Well, I'll believe

781
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:23.960
it when I see it. You
know, we'll see what happens. And

782
00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:30.000
you know, so he's fragile,
very fragile. They just gotta they got

783
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:32.559
to put a concrete wall around him, so nobody gets to him next next

784
00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:39.559
season Appendix calf, knee, wrist. What's next? Hopefully nothing like he's

785
00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:44.519
I think he's got everything that you
know and that you know. I think

786
00:59:44.599 --> 00:59:47.880
he's got everything in uh, in
the in the game of operation. And

787
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:52.760
how by this segment, the Bengals
spent more money in the off season then

788
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:57.480
the other four teams in the Central
Division combined. And they spent more money

789
00:59:57.519 --> 01:00:00.599
in the off season than the New
York Yankees. Uh. The Reds spent

790
01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:05.079
about one hundred and five hundred and
ten million dollars right in the off season.

791
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:08.199
Yep, and that pales in comparison
to the Dodgers, who spent over

792
01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:14.039
a billion dollars for two players.
Well, we'll see what happens on that

793
01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:16.880
and Willy, you know, I
mean, hopefully it'll all work out maybe

794
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:21.199
for the Dodgers, and when the
Reds play them, they'll beat them.

795
01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:24.840
Well, I would say this that
the Reds may be the favorite to win

796
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:30.039
the division. Is that possible because
Milwaukee's no better. Cubs spent no money

797
01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:32.840
in the off season. Carden was
a little bit, but not much.

798
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:37.719
They were terrible as pirates are doing
nothing nothing. Well, what if the

799
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:39.360
Reds are picked to win the division? Would you be in a state of

800
01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:45.199
shock? Uh? Yeah, I
mean with with the way I mean,

801
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:50.199
Milwaukee lost a lot of people and
they they I mean even their manager left

802
01:00:50.239 --> 01:00:52.440
for the Cubs. I mean,
you know, it's like, wait a

803
01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:57.840
minute, what I mean that's like
that's like you know, somebody getting That's

804
01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:01.679
like somebody you know going from the
the Reds manager going to Cleveland or something.

805
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:05.519
Right, So, I don't know, but I mean, you know,

806
01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:07.760
we'll see what happens. The pundits
will probably not pick Cincinnati, but

807
01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:10.320
they got to be up there.
But I mean, you know, with

808
01:01:10.440 --> 01:01:13.760
the youth of the team and what
they did last year, I mean what

809
01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:16.320
they lost two years ago, they
lost one hundred games, and you're thinking

810
01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:19.880
the world's come to an end.
And then all of a sudden, what

811
01:01:20.039 --> 01:01:22.079
they do eighty two and eighty and
it was like, hey, this is

812
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:25.719
pretty good. I wonder what the
over under is for the Reds wins this

813
01:01:25.880 --> 01:01:28.960
year? Do you know? I
don't know, I haven't seen anything yet.

814
01:01:29.280 --> 01:01:35.000
Let me ask. I'm still talk
to Siri. What's the over under

815
01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:40.679
Reds wins in twenty twenty four?
Will. He's what I found. Oh,

816
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:45.440
I'm gonna check this out. As
as they say four odds twenty four

817
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:53.039
teams, Yeah, they have an
over under this says eighty three. Well

818
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:57.639
that's pretty good. That is pretty
good win. How about the Dodgers win

819
01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:05.239
total one hundred and three Atlanta's one
hundred and two. Well that those are

820
01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:08.079
the two benchmarks right there of the
National League, Atlanta and Los Angeles.

821
01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:12.199
They're just gonna, you know,
they're just going to try to outspend each

822
01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:15.760
other every year. How about this. The Cubs over under is eighty five,

823
01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:20.480
Saint Louis is eighty five, the
Reds are eighty three. Don't you

824
01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:23.079
know what it's It's much like the
AFC North this year, what three out

825
01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:25.960
of four teams make it? And
the Bengals were just right there and they

826
01:02:27.039 --> 01:02:30.480
finished the last place. But they're
right on the cusp of a of a

827
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:34.159
playoff shot at nine and eight,
and a lot of other teams in the

828
01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:36.960
NFC are in at nine and eight. Right, Yeah, I think for

829
01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:39.400
say, the Cubs are scheduled to
be first, Saint Louis second, right,

830
01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:43.920
Red third. Oakland A's hav an
over under a fifty five wins.

831
01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:49.480
That means they have to lose what
a one hundred and seven fifty good luck

832
01:02:49.519 --> 01:02:52.519
at good good luck to them.
Didn't they leave Oakland or No, not

833
01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:55.239
yet. I don't think they've leaved
left Oakland yet. I don't think so,

834
01:02:57.280 --> 01:03:00.400
so I don't know. Good luck
to them. The Reds are getting

835
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:04.480
a little bit of prop right here, segmentod that's a good thing. Well

836
01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:07.039
then you know out west, well
you gotta you know. I mean,

837
01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:09.320
look what happened. The Dodgers won
big this year, and what they do

838
01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:16.039
They lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks nothing
and the Diamondback the Diamondbacks added right like,

839
01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:21.400
just like the Dodgers did the Giants. The Giants have done nothing nothing.

840
01:03:21.519 --> 01:03:22.880

Ramba like nineteen ninety two. Now,

853
01:04:59.239 --> 01:05:01.119
I thought that was the Red's lineup
for this year what I would hope so,

854
01:05:01.280 --> 01:05:04.960
But ninety two that was, and
the Royal Rumble itself is in another

855

say it makes it sound like Tyland Hall

about twenty five years ago but recovered
magnificently. I'm not sure Harvard will also

881
01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:06.599
Watching some of the commentary this morning
on the morning talk shows, it appears

882
01:07:06.679 --> 01:07:14.440
that we Americans have a problem with
powerful black women. And this commentator said

883
01:07:14.480 --> 01:07:19.480
that doctor Clydine Gay fitted nicely with
the attacks on Kamala Harris, our vice

884
01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:24.519
president, and also just as Kantanji
Jackson, who doesn't know what a woman

885
01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:29.719
is, that whenever a black woman
arises the power that America has to find

886
01:07:29.760 --> 01:07:31.599
dirt on them, as if it
doesn't apply to Donald Trump, but nonetheless

Heck and Lively, author of Diversity con

Industry, and ken Heck and Lively,

889
01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:45.920
I think it'd be useful for the
American people to first hear about your own

890
01:07:46.039 --> 01:07:51.719
personal history before we talk about the
diversity con in which Al Sharpton and others

891
01:07:51.760 --> 01:07:57.280
has monetized racism. So tell the
American people a little bit about your bio.

892
01:07:57.719 --> 01:08:00.719
Yeah. So I'm an attorney.
I'm the science teacher as well,

893
01:08:01.039 --> 01:08:08.239
and I've published fifteen books for that
have been national bestsellers. I'm best known

894
01:08:08.639 --> 01:08:15.159
for the Plagued series with doctor gd
Mikeavitz, and I've also published four books

895
01:08:15.279 --> 01:08:20.359
with Project Veritas whistleblowers. And I've
written the book Presidential Takedown, which was

896
01:08:20.399 --> 01:08:26.920
about the COVID nineteen task Force that
was co authored with doctor Paul Alexander,

897
01:08:27.119 --> 01:08:32.359
who was the senior Advisor to the
pandemic advisor to the COVID nineteen task Force.

898
01:08:33.079 --> 01:08:36.880
Having heard your story, ken Heck
and Lively, I like you to

899
01:08:36.960 --> 01:08:43.239
comment about how much money's involved in
DEI. How much money's involved because about

900
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:45.680
ten, fifteen, twenty years ago, I thought discrimination was something. Shall

901
01:08:45.720 --> 01:08:49.560
we say that was going out the
door in America at least, but there

902
01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:55.319
was too much money at stake.
So explain what happened ten or fifteen years

903
01:08:55.359 --> 01:09:00.279
ago. They gave birth to the
dei dei experiences we have today. One

904
01:09:00.319 --> 01:09:03.399
of the really interesting things that we
discovered in putting our book, The Diversity

905
01:09:03.479 --> 01:09:13.760
con together, is that there is
an industry which is engaged in causing chaos.

906
01:09:14.359 --> 01:09:19.479
And the villain of this piece is
the Tides Foundation out of San Francisco.

907
01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:25.359
Now, the Tide Foundation was founded
in the late nineteen seventies by a

908
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:30.159
left wing activist, and it's got
a really interesting financial set, financial and

909
01:09:30.279 --> 01:09:35.479
legal setup. What it does is, let's say you're a billionaire and you

910
01:09:35.640 --> 01:09:41.039
say, okay, Tide Foundation,
I want to invest ten million dollars with

911
01:09:41.239 --> 01:09:44.239
you. You're going to put it
into some funds. I'm going to get

912
01:09:44.279 --> 01:09:45.680
a rate to return for a couple
of years. Still, you get a

913
01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:50.720
nice rate to return and everything.
So it's functioning start like an investment vehicle.

914
01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:55.159
But then what you can do is
you can say, hey, Tide

915
01:09:55.279 --> 01:10:00.920
Foundation, why don't you take three
million dollars of my investment and give it

916
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:05.119
to Black Lives Matter. So the
money doesn't come from you, the billionaire.

917
01:10:05.239 --> 01:10:10.640
It comes from the Tides Foundation.
Now how big is the Tides Foundation.

918
01:10:10.880 --> 01:10:16.840
Well, in twenty twenty they gave
out over six hundred million dollars in

919
01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:23.399
grands, so they've got an enorm
Yeah, they they've six six hundred and

920
01:10:23.600 --> 01:10:28.600
seven I think it was exact number
that they gave. And so what you

921
01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:33.000
see as this interlocking network of foundations. And so when we look at,

922
01:10:33.079 --> 01:10:38.600
okay, who's putting money into the
Tides Foundation, Well, it's all the

923
01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:43.640
regular players, the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation, George Soros, Open Society,

924
01:10:43.920 --> 01:10:50.199
Rockefeller, Carnegie Endowment, Johnson Foundation. So you've got this really weird

925
01:10:50.840 --> 01:10:56.479
legal structure, which is you can
be a rich person and you can park

926
01:10:56.520 --> 01:11:00.399
a bunch of money there, and
you know you can draw a good rate

927
01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:03.279
to return because they've got investment vehicles
for you. And then it's got this

928
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:11.960
political arm and you know you are
not tied to the organization that gets the

929
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:14.760
money. So you can say,
ah, I put some money in the

930
01:11:14.800 --> 01:11:18.720
Tights Foundation, and then they do
these things. And so all of this

931
01:11:18.880 --> 01:11:23.960
appears to be legal, but you
know, for my estimation, it's highly

932
01:11:24.079 --> 01:11:30.520
unethical and violates the spirit, if
not the law of they're what they're supposed

933
01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:34.479
to be doing under the law and
ken what is the motivation? Because George

934
01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:39.840
Soros, in this loosely organized group
of billionaires, it looks to me like

935
01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:45.119
they're having the impact of destroying large
parts of our American society. Is that

936
01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:47.920
their goal? Do they want to
like take down public education, take down

937
01:11:48.000 --> 01:11:54.880
police departments, open southern border?
What's what's the purpose? What's the goal

938
01:11:55.199 --> 01:12:00.880
in giving these six hundred million dollars
in one year to left wing causes by

939
01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:03.760
one Tides Foundation plus many other A
lot of moneys at stake here, But

940
01:12:03.880 --> 01:12:08.560
what is their goal? What do
they want out of this money? Well,

941
01:12:08.920 --> 01:12:11.920
that was the real question that we
had in our book because we had

942
01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:15.680
David Johnson go undercover at many of
these trainings and what he came away with

943
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:20.840
was that many of the trainings are
Marxist in nature. And you know,

944
01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:27.319
you'll even have Patrice Quaars from Black
Lives Matter say that she's trained Marxist.

945
01:12:27.399 --> 01:12:31.760
And so we were confronted with a
question of why are these billionaires giving money

946
01:12:31.800 --> 01:12:38.600
to Marxist organizations? You have history
teaches us there's no money in Marxism,

947
01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:47.199
right but there's money in monopoly.
And so if you can use Marxist Marxist

948
01:12:47.359 --> 01:12:55.079
tactics to destroy local communities and you
get people, you know, giving all

949
01:12:55.119 --> 01:13:00.159
their money to Amazon, giving their
money to Target instead of the local uh,

950
01:13:00.640 --> 01:13:04.760
local stores, you have an enormous
transfer of wealth from the middle class.

951
01:13:04.880 --> 01:13:10.800
As we saw during the COVID crisis, we had four trillion dollars move

952
01:13:11.159 --> 01:13:15.800
from the middle class to the billionaire
class. So I really think that this

953
01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:20.039
is this is an old game,
you know, because the robber barons of

954
01:13:20.079 --> 01:13:27.920
the nineteenth century wanted you living in
company housing, working for the company,

955
01:13:28.199 --> 01:13:32.720
buy in from the company's store.
That's the model. And they're just using

956
01:13:32.840 --> 01:13:44.079
Marxism and racism to make to destroy
vibrant local communities, to destroy destroy vibrant

957
01:13:44.199 --> 01:13:50.239
relationships between people of different backgrounds,
you know. And and what happens when

958
01:13:50.359 --> 01:13:56.359
we don't feel good in our community, Well, we have to attach ourselves

959
01:13:56.680 --> 01:14:01.560
to something. So we're just plugged
into you know, our Netflix are Amazon,

960
01:14:03.039 --> 01:14:09.800
and we're not engaging with other human
beings. So many times Kent Heck

961
01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:14.560
and Lively, author of the book
Diversity con what this is is like investment

962
01:14:14.640 --> 01:14:17.119
in the future to take away mom
and pop stores, to have more and

963
01:14:17.239 --> 01:14:21.880
more Americans poorly or not educated whatsoever, to break down law and order so

964
01:14:23.000 --> 01:14:26.680
that more and more people live in
the company town on the company check,

965
01:14:26.960 --> 01:14:30.520
getting company food, which is government
getting company vouchers, and living the company

966
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:34.479
life, and getting rid of entrepreneurism. And I would assume religion also,

967
01:14:34.960 --> 01:14:42.319
because religion is again a speed bump
on the way to what the billionaire class

968
01:14:42.359 --> 01:14:45.119
wants from the Tides Foundation, et
cetera. And for those that are optimistic,

969
01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:49.000
having you spent so much written so
much in the subject matter, I've

970
01:14:49.079 --> 01:14:54.800
read that essentially that and in three
or four or five years things will be

971
01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:59.039
back to normal. With Harvard and
Clouding Gay, she got her million dollar

972
01:14:59.159 --> 01:15:02.800
Golden Parish out the door. She's
written at least two editorials for The Wall

973
01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:06.920
Street Journal New York Times talking about
how she's a victim of racism, which

974
01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:12.720
appears to be completely ridiculous. She's
a victim of her own plagiarism and a

975
01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:15.199
victim of her own lies, and
the victim of the fact she's not qualified

976
01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:19.520
to be the president of any large
organization based upon her history. But do

977
01:15:19.640 --> 01:15:25.520
you think after this episode with Claudine
Gay, that the DEI industry, which

978
01:15:25.560 --> 01:15:30.479
is now surrounding her and protecting her, is going to learn the lesson of

979
01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:33.199
the lies and the plagiarism, or
it is simply a speed bump on its

980
01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:39.239
way to more government control. Here's
what I think. I think we can

981
01:15:39.479 --> 01:15:44.399
expect a lot of scalps to be
taken in twenty twenty four. And this

982
01:15:44.680 --> 01:15:49.319
is not about vengeance. It's about
competence. Now, let's think about who's

983
01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:57.680
being hurt by this DEI agenda.
There's some Indian kid who's in a senior

984
01:15:57.720 --> 01:16:01.960
in high school right now, who's
got a great GPA, perfect scores,

985
01:16:02.439 --> 01:16:08.520
He's done a whole bunch of extracurricular
activities. He's going to apply to Harvard,

986
01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:13.079
and because he's Asian, they're going
to knock two hundred points off of

987
01:16:13.159 --> 01:16:16.600
his application and he's not going to
get in. Okay, that hurts him.

988
01:16:16.920 --> 01:16:23.760
Who else is being hurt? There
are really good academics in our universities

989
01:16:24.079 --> 01:16:28.520
who have done the job the right
way. You know. Let's say it's

990
01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:33.000
a middle aged white guy who's got
all these publications and who is committed to

991
01:16:33.239 --> 01:16:39.000
fairness. Well, he's never going
to be looked at and so what we

992
01:16:39.199 --> 01:16:43.479
need to do is we need to
use the power of social media because we

993
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:47.680
know the mainstream media doesn't doesn't care
about this stuff. They're all left wing.

994
01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:51.880
But social media has this amazing power, and so what we need to

995
01:16:51.960 --> 01:16:56.520
do is we need to drag these
people out into the light. I mean,

996
01:16:56.560 --> 01:17:05.960
Elsie Stephanik questioned Clauding nineteen different times
to condemn anti Semitism. You know,

997
01:17:06.319 --> 01:17:12.039
the plumber down the street only needs
to be asked that question once to

998
01:17:12.199 --> 01:17:15.800
know the right answer. So what
we need to do is we need to

999
01:17:15.880 --> 01:17:19.199
bring these people out of the light
because the only way they maintain their position

1000
01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:25.760
is with the public support. So
if they are having these crazy ideas,

1001
01:17:26.279 --> 01:17:30.960
you know, it is time for
us to rise up, demand accountability.

1002
01:17:30.479 --> 01:17:34.000
And you know, I don't care
if they're liberal, just don't say stupid

1003
01:17:34.079 --> 01:17:40.880
things like clotting gay did and Judge
Justice Keatanji Jackson. I mean not knowing

1004
01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:44.680
what a woman is. You know, ninety eight percent of drunk ninety eight

1005
01:17:44.760 --> 01:17:48.279
percent of drunk college freshmen can identify
a woman. Okay, So all I'm

1006
01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:53.720
saying, yeah, and all I'm
saying is that we're in trouble because unless

1007
01:17:54.279 --> 01:17:59.520
Harvard the DEI crowd, which is
a multi billion dollar business. Business is

1008
01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:04.239
good business. When I see Reverend
Al Sharpton, who is a tax cheat,

1009
01:18:04.479 --> 01:18:09.760
out in front of Bill Aikman's offices, protesting because he wants to express

1010
01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:14.880
thoughts as a billionaire as a Harvard
graduate, and somehow you know DEI is

1011
01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:18.920
not the way to go because that
is race discrimination, and that Al Sharpton,

1012
01:18:19.159 --> 01:18:26.079
tongue in cheek, is protesting the
free speech rights of a multi billionaire

1013
01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:30.239
giving lots of bucks to Harvard,
and he kind of wink wink, nod

1014
01:18:30.359 --> 01:18:32.439
nod. And a few of the
persons with him were interviewed a couple of

1015
01:18:32.479 --> 01:18:35.680
days ago, and they had no
idea what they were protesting or who this

1016
01:18:35.840 --> 01:18:40.760
Bill character is. They have no
clue what's going on, and they keep

1017
01:18:40.800 --> 01:18:46.119
the game alive because the racial game
pays lots of money. We're talking billions

1018
01:18:46.199 --> 01:18:51.479
and billions of dollars. Do you
see work of yours and others kind of

1019
01:18:53.479 --> 01:18:58.159
changing the drift of this huge rocket
ship to nowhere? Or do you think

1020
01:18:58.319 --> 01:19:01.279
it is too much? Has already
had happen with DEI and the college's,

1021
01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:05.760
university's corporate America government that there's nothing
we can do to stop it. At

1022
01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:10.920
this point, sit back and watch
America be destroyed from within. I'll ask

1023
01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:14.359
you this, Ken Heck and Lively. Do you have hope or do you

1024
01:19:14.479 --> 01:19:18.439
not have hope? I have incredible
hope. Look, we're just a couple

1025
01:19:18.479 --> 01:19:23.199
of days into twenty twenty four and
we took out the president of Harvard.

1026
01:19:23.720 --> 01:19:27.800
This is great. I think that
we've got a lot of Dad energy coming

1027
01:19:27.880 --> 01:19:31.840
back into the system. You know, use ridicule and contempt of these people

1028
01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:38.119
and have fun with this fight.
This is just this is a wonderful fight

1029
01:19:38.800 --> 01:19:43.720
and we're going to win it because
all we have to do is talk and

1030
01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:47.560
you know, crap jokes about you
know, not being able to identify a

1031
01:19:47.680 --> 01:19:55.199
woman. I mean, I'm sorry. You know, if human beings couldn't

1032
01:19:55.239 --> 01:19:59.239
figure out what women were, I
doubt that we would have survived as a

1033
01:19:59.319 --> 01:20:04.720
species. But it's the correct answer
because when justice can Tanji Kintanji Jackson said,

1034
01:20:04.720 --> 01:20:08.760
I don't know what a woman is. It was so absurd, But

1035
01:20:08.960 --> 01:20:11.800
once again, when I read the
literature, this going back about a year

1036
01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:16.279
or so of this appointment, those
who call her in the question are the

1037
01:20:16.359 --> 01:20:20.560
ones being attacked, and so it's
going to be sync to Bismarck in twenty

1038
01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:26.319
twenty four to bring down Donald Trump
because they've thrown everything at him and it

1039
01:20:26.439 --> 01:20:30.479
hasn't worked yet. And he's the
only president we've ever had that had grandchildren

1040
01:20:30.479 --> 01:20:34.319
who were Jewish, and they keep
coming after Trump by different ways, hoping

1041
01:20:34.439 --> 01:20:38.600
something works. I'll ask you this, Ken, I love your optimism.

1042
01:20:38.920 --> 01:20:44.039
I'm not as optimistic as you are
about colleges and universities turning back to moderate

1043
01:20:44.079 --> 01:20:48.399
approaches in corporate America and government and
the southern border. What happens if the

1044
01:20:48.560 --> 01:20:55.680
interchangeable drill bit in this November wins
and we have four to eight more years

1045
01:20:55.760 --> 01:21:00.239
of the policies of Joe Biden on
the southern border in the major cities six

1046
01:21:00.359 --> 01:21:03.640
hundred million dollars a year out of
the Tides Foundation. Well, what if

1047
01:21:03.680 --> 01:21:08.920
you're incorrect and America stays in this
course for another, say ten years?

1048
01:21:09.159 --> 01:21:15.960
What do we look like? Then? I run away to Argentina. Costa

1049
01:21:15.039 --> 01:21:19.079
Rica is what I say, Costria. I mean, I don't know where

1050
01:21:19.119 --> 01:21:27.079
we're headed because we can't continue opposing
discrimination by using it, and the entire

1051
01:21:27.199 --> 01:21:31.880
civil rights crowd doesn't have a purpose
to exist. Their philosophies control the university's

1052
01:21:31.920 --> 01:21:36.359
Hollywood, New York. They control
government and every city government. Every mayor's

1053
01:21:38.119 --> 01:21:44.199
a left wing activist Democrat. And
if that continues unbridled the next five to

1054
01:21:44.319 --> 01:21:49.000
ten years, I think we're in
real trouble. Look if they start carrying

1055
01:21:49.039 --> 01:21:53.560
down statues of Martin Luther King Jr. Which is what they're going to have

1056
01:21:53.680 --> 01:21:58.680
to do, because his philosophy was
that you judge somebody based on their character

1057
01:21:58.840 --> 01:22:02.439
and their accomplishments, then I'll tell
you it's time to run. But until

1058
01:22:02.560 --> 01:22:10.279
that happens, I think stay and
fight and be cheerful, and we're gonna

1059
01:22:10.319 --> 01:22:14.960
win this thing because the absurdity is
so clear. I mean, look,

1060
01:22:15.199 --> 01:22:19.600
you got three university presidents appear just
a couple of weeks ago before Congress.

1061
01:22:19.960 --> 01:22:25.239
Two of them are gone now,
and I think Mit is probably the president.

1062
01:22:25.399 --> 01:22:30.279
Mit who's still there is probably next
on the chopping block, So you

1063
01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:32.840
know, probably by the end of
January, she will either had her wings

1064
01:22:32.840 --> 01:22:36.479
clipped or she will be gone as
well. Lastly, I would say that

1065
01:22:38.119 --> 01:22:43.560
doctor Clauding Gay got the one million
dollar parachute. Kamala Harris is in charge

1066
01:22:43.560 --> 01:22:47.039
of the Southern Border and she's terrible
and Justice Jackson doesn't know what a woman

1067
01:22:47.199 --> 01:22:50.159
is when she's a woman, I
assume, and as a consequence, those

1068
01:22:50.159 --> 01:22:56.239
are criticisms of their behavior, not
criticisms of their race or gender. Once

1069
01:22:56.279 --> 01:22:59.760
again, Ken Heck and Lively.
The book is diversity con and it is

1070
01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:03.600
a secrets and lives behind the shady
DII industry. Kent, Heck and Lively

1071
01:23:03.720 --> 01:23:08.760
once again raise zips a locuitter.
Thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham

1072
01:23:08.840 --> 01:23:11.960
Show. Let's keep the lines of
communication open. And once again, thank

1073
01:23:12.039 --> 01:23:15.039
you very much, thanks Jill.
All right, let's continue with more.

1074
01:23:15.319 --> 01:23:19.760
Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WULW currents
issued by Sutton Bank and Celtic Bank.

1075
01:23:19.800 --> 01:23:23.640
Members of the Ic terms and want
to open the US Constitution once in a

1076
01:23:23.680 --> 01:23:29.600
while. If he did, he'd
find a thing called the First Amendment and

1077
01:23:29.720 --> 01:23:33.239
what it says in the beginning,
He says, the right of the people

1078
01:23:33.760 --> 01:23:45.680
peaceably to assemble and to position their
government for redress and grievances. Hello yet,

1079
01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:54.119
and I'm broadcasting all right, Rocky, let me quiz your mind right

1080
01:23:54.239 --> 01:23:58.319
now. Yes, you're now coach
Harball at Michigan. They've won their first

1081
01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:03.119
real titles since the late nineteen forties. Ninety seven didn't count. They shared

1082
01:24:03.159 --> 01:24:06.720
it. When Nebraska it was a
beauty contest. You're now HORRBA. You're

1083
01:24:06.760 --> 01:24:12.920
offered something like one hundred and twenty
five million dollars over ten years on condition

1084
01:24:13.159 --> 01:24:16.319
you never leave and go to the
NFL. Or You've got six NFL job

1085
01:24:16.399 --> 01:24:21.520
openings right now. You are coach
Harball. What do you do if anything,

1086
01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:27.560
Well, given the fact that Mike
Vrabel was just fired, you go.

1087
01:24:28.119 --> 01:24:33.720
As long as you think Will Levis
can be a franchise quarterback, you

1088
01:24:33.880 --> 01:24:38.279
leave Michigan and you take the job
with the Tennessee Titans. You take an

1089
01:24:38.399 --> 01:24:42.840
NFL job I think. I mean, college is such a nightmare anymore,

1090
01:24:42.960 --> 01:24:45.920
with a transfer portal and nil and
dealing with all this every year. It's

1091
01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:50.720
like free agency on steroids, except
guys can leave whenever they want, even

1092
01:24:50.760 --> 01:24:55.319
if there is a contract in place. It drives these coaches nuts. He

1093
01:24:55.399 --> 01:24:59.319
already proved he can win in college. He proved he can beat up and

1094
01:24:59.439 --> 01:25:03.359
outreach and outplay and out physical Ohio
State. So what does he have to

1095
01:25:03.479 --> 01:25:05.880
prove? Go to the NFL,
have a little bit better quality life and

1096
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:10.520
see if you can etch your name
in that in that realm there. And

1097
01:25:10.600 --> 01:25:13.680
the other thing to think about is
that he almost got to the brass ring.

1098
01:25:13.760 --> 01:25:17.439
He almost won a Super Bowl title
anyway against against his brother, and

1099
01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:20.159
what else does he have to show
at Michigan? Well, what else does

1100
01:25:20.239 --> 01:25:24.920
he have to do? He was
suspended for like half the regular season for

1101
01:25:25.039 --> 01:25:29.439
all kinds of activities he said he
didn't do. The investigations are still continuing.

1102
01:25:29.880 --> 01:25:33.199
Take the money and run because uh
at college football is an eight billion

1103
01:25:33.319 --> 01:25:39.960
dollar business with no CEO, no
board of directors. It's a wild West.

1104
01:25:40.079 --> 01:25:42.079
Do whatever you want to do,
whenever you want to do it,

1105
01:25:42.439 --> 01:25:45.680
and that's not at least in the
NFL, there's some rules and there may

1106
01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:47.640
be some off time. I think
Zach Taylor needs some time off. His

1107
01:25:47.760 --> 01:25:51.199
play calling is terrible. How do
you keep running players up the middle?

1108
01:25:51.239 --> 01:25:55.720
I don't get that. But nonetheless, if you're hardball, you want to

1109
01:25:55.760 --> 01:26:00.199
go to the NFL. The NFL
collect one hundred million dollars at least might

1110
01:26:00.319 --> 01:26:03.079
have some time off. And Michigan's
losing most of their talent. And it's

1111
01:26:03.159 --> 01:26:08.159
hard if you're at Notre Dame,
which is a terrible campus. It's cold.

1112
01:26:08.439 --> 01:26:11.560
It's in Indiana. For God's sakes, nobody would want to go there.

1113
01:26:11.840 --> 01:26:15.880
Downtown Oh okay, I'm allowed to
say that, but I don't know.

1114
01:26:15.920 --> 01:26:20.199
If I don't know. Yeah,
and Anna Arp was close to Detroit,

1115
01:26:20.279 --> 01:26:27.119
for God's sake, is not much
better than the art of Detroit.

1116
01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:30.399
I take the Nashville job. I
mean in Nashville, Tennessee is beautiful,

1117
01:26:30.560 --> 01:26:33.319
and you love Nashville. You love
there? Do you like playing there?

1118
01:26:33.359 --> 01:26:36.239
Right? I loved it. The
people are great. I mean it's obviously

1119
01:26:36.359 --> 01:26:41.880
exploded. Uh you know Grove Weather, it's the place everyone wants to be.

1120
01:26:42.680 --> 01:26:45.079
Yeah, go there and now again, you know you any head coach

1121
01:26:45.199 --> 01:26:48.279
is going to look at all,
Right, what's the management structure, like,

1122
01:26:48.399 --> 01:26:50.359
what's the owner? Like? How
much money do we have? And

1123
01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:54.279
what's the quarterback situation? Right,
that's the main thing. You can't go

1124
01:26:54.359 --> 01:26:59.159
to a place that's locked into a
mediocre or awful quarterback for a long time.

1125
01:26:59.680 --> 01:27:01.720
So, you know, Will Levis
I think showed some good signs this

1126
01:27:01.880 --> 01:27:05.520
year. If you think he's the
guy, you go down there and you

1127
01:27:05.600 --> 01:27:09.479
have a pretty good quality of life. You don't move that far aways.

1128
01:27:09.479 --> 01:27:12.680
It's not like you're moving back out
to the West coast, out of California,

1129
01:27:12.760 --> 01:27:16.399
which is completely nuts out there.
Go to Nashville and build a franchise

1130
01:27:16.479 --> 01:27:19.439
down there. The media is a
little bit, a little bit easier on

1131
01:27:19.600 --> 01:27:21.920
you, you know what I mean
than you would be in a bigger market

1132
01:27:23.000 --> 01:27:25.319
town. To go there and have
a better quality of life. See if

1133
01:27:25.359 --> 01:27:28.880
you can win not just a national
championship, but a Super Bowl championship.

1134
01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:31.600
On Nashville is two hours from anywhere. It's not like being in New York

1135
01:27:31.720 --> 01:27:34.920
or LA. It's a three four
hour flight. And Nashville is in the

1136
01:27:34.920 --> 01:27:42.239
middle of everywhere. The climate's pretty
good. They're in a winnable division Nashville

1137
01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:45.600
is. And basically, I want
to get rid of the Baltimore Ravens and

1138
01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:48.720
I want to take in the Indianapolis
Colts. I have a plan to get

1139
01:27:48.760 --> 01:27:53.800
the Ravens out of the North and
get the Colts and the Ravens to switch.

1140
01:27:53.840 --> 01:27:58.000
You know what I'm saying, How
does my plan sound? It lacks

1141
01:27:58.039 --> 01:28:00.560
a little bit of fundamentals, but
your heart's right place. I get rid

1142
01:28:00.600 --> 01:28:04.359
of the Ravens, get rid of
the Ravens segment, give me some sports

1143
01:28:04.399 --> 01:28:08.479
and make it fast. Will he
the stood reporters. Approach service of your

1144
01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:14.319
local teme Star Heating and air conditioning
dealers. Tame star quality you can feel

1145
01:28:14.359 --> 01:28:16.720
in Cincinnati Cole Sheldon, Braun and
Braun Heating at five to one, three,

1146
01:28:17.439 --> 01:28:24.840
three, eight, five, seventy
seven sixty five. Roxy. Let's

1147
01:28:24.840 --> 01:28:29.119
see Bengals update. Bengals offensive lineman
Ted Carris, the winner of the twenty

1148
01:28:29.199 --> 01:28:34.680
twenty three Nationwide Charity Challenge Walder Payton
Mann of the Year Fan vote nationwide is

1149
01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:40.680
going to award thirty five thousand dollars
to Keris's charity, the Village of Maurici.

1150
01:28:41.239 --> 01:28:45.239
He is a finalist for the award
overall that's going to be announced next

1151
01:28:45.319 --> 01:28:49.079
month. Wow. Thank you.
TJ. Watt's not going to play Sunday,

1152
01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:54.880
not going with the knee insery for
the Steelers against Buffalo. Wow.

1153
01:28:55.279 --> 01:28:59.399
And the coach of the Year in
twenty twenty two was fired today as you

1154
01:28:59.520 --> 01:29:03.960
just said, Mike Rayball out after
six seasons in Music City t SA.

1155
01:29:04.199 --> 01:29:05.880
What do they do? What are
they doing? What do they do?

1156
01:29:06.119 --> 01:29:09.800
Cost? Coach of the Year in
two thousand and two, seg said it.

1157
01:29:09.880 --> 01:29:12.840
I looked up confirmed it. That
was exactly right. Now he can't

1158
01:29:13.000 --> 01:29:15.800
believe me. I did believe you, but got it. College basketball Tonight,

1159
01:29:15.880 --> 01:29:19.640
big twelve home opener for the Bearcats, coming off that big win at

1160
01:29:19.720 --> 01:29:27.479
BYU number twenty five Texas. The
next Bearcat victim seven hundred. Wlw's coverage

1161
01:29:27.479 --> 01:29:32.439
at six thirty Missouri and Kentucky at
seven on ESPN fifteen thirty. Mimmy RedHawks

1162
01:29:32.520 --> 01:29:38.680
at Buffalo. And the other issue. I think the Reds pitchers can catchers

1163
01:29:38.760 --> 01:29:42.800
report in five weeks, believe it
or not, rock five weeks pitchers and

1164
01:29:42.880 --> 01:29:45.840
catchers report, and that the Reds
are spending like drunken sailors. On shortly

1165
01:29:46.039 --> 01:29:49.840
one hundred and ten million dollars.
They outspent all the big time boys except

1166
01:29:49.880 --> 01:29:54.960
the Dodgers. Bob cast the leady
demands a winner, and the over under

1167
01:29:55.000 --> 01:29:58.680
as far as wins now and look
in Vegas is eighty three. I see

1168
01:29:58.720 --> 01:30:01.600
glory marked in the eye to the
Reds to shock the world and to march

1169
01:30:01.680 --> 01:30:05.720
for glory. Your comments, if
if someone was mistaken, they would they

1170
01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:10.680
would accuse you of being negative on
the fact that the Reds are spending money.

1171
01:30:11.479 --> 01:30:16.319
Well, yeah, drunking drunken sailors, you're spending man. Well one

1172
01:30:16.359 --> 01:30:20.319
of the Reds officials told me,
the old man wants a ring, the

1173
01:30:20.479 --> 01:30:29.279
old Man's ring. You will bring
championship baseball to Cincinnati. That's what he

1174
01:30:29.359 --> 01:30:31.600
said. And now he's putting the
cheese on the cracker. He's gonna make

1175
01:30:31.640 --> 01:30:36.560
it happen. The Reds have seven
starting pitchers. Hunter Green needs to go

1176
01:30:36.760 --> 01:30:40.680
seven innings, not four and a
third. He needs to be the leader

1177
01:30:40.720 --> 01:30:44.800
of the staff. He's making thirty
five million dollars in his contract. It

1178
01:30:44.880 --> 01:30:47.840
needs to be like a number one. They marched for glory and maybe Della

1179
01:30:47.920 --> 01:30:53.199
Grove. There's one missing piece on
this Reds roster. You know who it

1180
01:30:53.279 --> 01:31:00.680
is, the manager Trevor Bauer.
No way, no way, we accused.

1181
01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:05.600
He's not gonna take him. It
likes it a little different than you

1182
01:31:05.720 --> 01:31:09.039
may like it. But you know, did you did you little crime?

1183
01:31:09.159 --> 01:31:11.920
No, I'm just saying he did
a little commit a crime. Though if

1184
01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:15.119
I did that kind of thing,
Rock, I'd be gone. I would

1185
01:31:15.159 --> 01:31:19.560
say this he enjoyed. Got a
point there. I might be on that

1186
01:31:19.680 --> 01:31:23.960
guy's list too. At Epstein,
what he well, you know, the

1187
01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:28.560
first email Bill Clinton sent was to
a guy named Epstein. The first guy.

1188
01:31:28.640 --> 01:31:30.159
But that's going back twenty five years. Look at it this way.

1189
01:31:30.720 --> 01:31:36.800
If a man enjoys violent and sensual
sex, Rocky, should that be held

1190
01:31:36.800 --> 01:31:42.439
against them? Yeah, rock I'll
like that. A million women who bought

1191
01:31:42.479 --> 01:31:45.600
the Shades of Gray series and seem
to really like that. You know,

1192
01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:51.520
I'm just telling you answer that question
because it's such a taboo thing and so

1193
01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:57.479
many people are are disgusted by it. Why are tens and tens of millions

1194
01:31:57.520 --> 01:32:00.359
of women buying these novels, going
to the movies and all in raw and

1195
01:32:00.560 --> 01:32:03.800
enthralled in that stuff? Answer it? Answer the question, Answer the question.

1196
01:32:04.359 --> 01:32:08.479
What is the question? What I
you know? I want to confess

1197
01:32:08.560 --> 01:32:12.159
to you something. Yes? What? What? A couple of years ago

1198
01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:18.560
on HBO, I watched most of
Shades of Gray. I watched it,

1199
01:32:18.800 --> 01:32:26.319
really and what did you think?
What segment? Please continue? Please continue?

1200
01:32:26.479 --> 01:32:28.520
What I want to know, Willie, is every we were talking about

1201
01:32:28.520 --> 01:32:32.439
all this stuff? What about this
that the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin going to

1202
01:32:32.520 --> 01:32:36.880
the hospital. I'm not telling anybody
a w what's up with that? That's

1203
01:32:36.920 --> 01:32:40.640
like you, it's like you going
to hospital. Where's Willy? I don't

1204
01:32:40.640 --> 01:32:45.800
know's he's in the hospital. What's
going on? With that, can you

1205
01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:49.119
imagine if the White House covered up
the fact that Donald Trump I had the

1206
01:32:49.279 --> 01:32:59.520
doctor overall some sort of major issue. Indictment number nine thousand, Oh Rockey,

1207
01:32:59.600 --> 01:33:02.560
you had the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff testify under oath that

1208
01:33:02.680 --> 01:33:08.840
he told his counterpart in Beijing communist
read China, he would advise the Chinese

1209
01:33:08.880 --> 01:33:13.880
if America had any military plans.
That's called treason. He also testified Millie

1210
01:33:14.119 --> 01:33:17.720
that the biggest problem in the military
is white supremacy. In climate change mitigation,

1211
01:33:18.039 --> 01:33:24.039
they conducted a year long investigation,
couldn't find any white supremacy. Most

1212
01:33:24.079 --> 01:33:28.479
of the soldiers killed and wounded are, of course white, because white Southerners

1213
01:33:28.520 --> 01:33:31.399
want to defend this country, which
is why you hear things like racism everywhere.

1214
01:33:31.640 --> 01:33:35.119
And the American military is getting shot
out and shot out and no one's

1215
01:33:35.199 --> 01:33:41.159
responding. You got the Secretary of
Defense awol for five or six days.

1216
01:33:41.439 --> 01:33:44.840
Nobody knows where he is, and
I watched the news conference about a half

1217
01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:47.520
an hour ago, and he's got
price day cancer had some difficulties, which

1218
01:33:47.560 --> 01:33:53.199
could happen anybody. But even in
Green Township, would you have told Tony

1219
01:33:53.359 --> 01:33:57.880
Rosiello if you had all these meetings
that your prostate was hurting you. I

1220
01:33:57.960 --> 01:34:00.840
had to go to christ Hospital have
it removed. Or would you simply go

1221
01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:03.680
there, not tell your wife,
not tell your family, not tell your

1222
01:34:03.720 --> 01:34:09.159
mom and dad, not tell Tony
Rosiello, and simply hide out for five

1223
01:34:09.279 --> 01:34:13.199
or six days, and you're in
the chain of command to launch nuclear weapons

1224
01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:15.640
out of Green Township. Yeah,
yeah, Rock. You would have to

1225
01:34:15.680 --> 01:34:19.800
ask Tony Rosiello what he would say. He would keep the prostate cancer and

1226
01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:25.079
still launch the nukes. Well,
right now, we can't find we can't

1227
01:34:25.119 --> 01:34:29.399
find the fat. We got a
fat, overweight Secretary of Defense in his

1228
01:34:29.560 --> 01:34:34.960
seventies who hides out for seven days
on an awol military. They're talking about

1229
01:34:34.960 --> 01:34:39.960
Trump running a circus. What about
this guy. Get a top hat and

1230
01:34:40.039 --> 01:34:43.880
get a chair. Get Jim Scott. He's the greatest, the greatest matador

1231
01:34:43.920 --> 01:34:46.479
I've ever seen. He's the He's
the middle of the ring. The military

1232
01:34:46.560 --> 01:34:51.079
in this country. We're being shot
at repeatedly. Don't respond. The Chairman

1233
01:34:51.119 --> 01:34:56.399
of the Joint Chiefs commits treason.
The Secretary Defense cannot be found, and

1234
01:34:56.560 --> 01:35:02.239
Joe Biden can't locate himself off of
stage. Not good, good, not

1235
01:35:02.439 --> 01:35:06.760
good, not pissed off. I'm
looking at this. I can't credibility until

1236
01:35:06.800 --> 01:35:10.520
he said that. Now it's like, where did he come from? Thank

1237
01:35:10.560 --> 01:35:13.199
you? Thank you? Where's the
act? We need him back? Yeah,

1238
01:35:13.439 --> 01:35:16.279
get in the back here. I
don't say horrible people, horrible human

1239
01:35:16.359 --> 01:35:19.680
things. Who cares? I just
can't tell you how delightful my morning was.

1240
01:35:20.079 --> 01:35:24.359
You know, about six thirty seven
thirty one, my phone would buzz

1241
01:35:24.399 --> 01:35:26.760
two or three times. My wife
and I would turn to each other and

1242
01:35:26.800 --> 01:35:29.279
say, oh boy, what do
you do now? It's kind of filled

1243
01:35:29.319 --> 01:35:32.279
my heart with fervor. You know, I miss those days. If Trump

1244
01:35:32.359 --> 01:35:36.079
wins, we have chaos. If
the Democrat wins, it won't be Biden.

1245
01:35:36.359 --> 01:35:40.600
We have chaos, but at least
with Trump, with chaos, we

1246
01:35:40.800 --> 01:35:44.800
have good governmental policies. With the
Democrat, we have chaos, and we

1247
01:35:44.920 --> 01:35:48.520
have bad governmental policies we're gonna have. Can you imagine the media if Trump's

1248
01:35:48.560 --> 01:35:54.239
reelected? What happens? I see? My theory is they really love it

1249
01:35:54.319 --> 01:35:59.640
because their ratings have never been higher. Without Trump, everybody's ratings are in

1250
01:35:59.720 --> 01:36:02.479
the toilet. From a business standpoint, which you know they're in a business,

1251
01:36:02.560 --> 01:36:05.600
you think they would wanted to succeed. They should want Trump back in.

1252
01:36:05.760 --> 01:36:09.840
I think they secretly do. They
want to play the card that they

1253
01:36:09.920 --> 01:36:12.800
don't, but they I think they
want him back in because or else.

1254
01:36:13.079 --> 01:36:16.439
The New York Times CNN him they're
all going to fail without him. Fifty

1255
01:36:16.560 --> 01:36:23.399
shades of Rocky Boyman, Yes,
fifty shades. But Trevor Bauer, according

1256
01:36:23.439 --> 01:36:26.760
to the Castellinies, will not come
back. He wants to come back,

1257
01:36:27.239 --> 01:36:32.199
and he enjoys violent, consensual sex
with mature women. What's wrong without seg

1258
01:36:32.279 --> 01:36:41.479
Man? I don't know. Rocky
Apparently, apparently most of the nation doesn't

1259
01:36:41.479 --> 01:36:45.399
feel like there's anything wrong if he
can throw strikes again. I don't know

1260
01:36:45.560 --> 01:36:48.319
sex. I don't know if it's
going to happen not here. I don't

1261
01:36:48.319 --> 01:36:56.000
think con central sex, violent sensual
sex. I don't know what this is

1262
01:36:56.800 --> 01:37:01.720
if it's on a loop. What
was that again? Violet? Violence?

1263
01:37:01.760 --> 01:37:05.479
And I certainly would. I don't
think violence, and I don't talk about

1264
01:37:06.079 --> 01:37:15.119
violence, thank you would? Consensual
sex? What was that again? By

01:37:15.159 --> 01:37:17.760
the way, Wendesday, iowall coalk
is that next week or Monday? All

will be out. It'll be Trump and

1267
01:37:21.199 --> 01:37:26.239
Haley. He'll then destroy her what
she already is, and then it'll be

1268
01:37:26.319 --> 01:37:32.039
Trump and Paints on the ticket.
Not no, no, sorry Trump,

1269
01:37:33.840 --> 01:37:39.239
not Mike Pads, Trump Des Santas
on the ticket. Violent consensual won't be

01:37:39.520 --> 01:37:43.520
It won't be Trump Haley. She's
