Welcome to Thursday after Union. 11 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.079 The tri state snow is falling. By the weekend, things 12 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.960 should calm down, is there prices everywhere? Three thousand personnel 13 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.920 are on the streets clearing the roads in the bridges, 14 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.200 except for four seventy one, which is a completely different issue. 15 00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:50.880 And we may get into that with Chris Spinny a 16 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.719 little bit, because, according to knowledgeable sources, that was put 17 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.240 there by shall al we say, well intended recreational officials 18 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.200 from the City of Cincinnati more or less approved quietly 19 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.640 by O DOT and now they have to update their 20 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.879 list of things not to put under I four seventy 21 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:08.640 one or any other interstate. We got to update the 22 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.280 list of their partner, but until then, Chris Finny a 23 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.599 great attorney locally. Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show, and Chris, 24 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.760 first of all, before we talk about Bucks County in 25 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.319 Stansbury Park, we've been pursuing for a while this four 26 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.319 to seventy one situation, which is a catastrophe by any 27 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.480 fair measurement. Fortunately, I don't think you live in northern Kentucky, 28 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:27.879 but if you do, to try to go back and 29 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.280 forth across the river, it's almost impossible, do you see? 30 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.560 And when recreation officials put it there, they contacted o 31 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.719 DOT in Lebanon to say what do you think about this? 32 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.640 And the ODOTT official went over the list of things 33 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.519 not to put under a bridge, and a large placeset 34 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.040 was not included, and so they say, well, the playset 35 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.200 would be a good idea. It's plastic, recycled plastic. It's 36 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.560 on three inches of rubber, which is about one hundred 37 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.480 feet by two hundred feet, so if kids fall down, 38 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.799 they don't hurt a knee. And at this point they're 39 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.840 going hummahammahammahamma, is there any do you perceive of any 40 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.799 liability of anyone like a tony bender that spends two 41 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.359 hours every day trying to get back and forth across 42 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.000 the river as more or less a planet's lawyer and 43 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.039 a great planet's attorney. Can you think of some liability 44 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.439 that the city of the state might have for those 45 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:17.039 millions of men and woman ours that are being wasted 46 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:18.439 sitting in traffic all day? 47 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.039 Well, I mean, we definitely had some malfeasance on somebody's 48 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.599 part to allow this to happen. But as you're aware, Willy, 49 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:32.159 there's a principle called sovereign immunity that protects governmententities and 50 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.840 performing their governmental functions. It's very difficult to maintain a 51 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.319 cause of action. So I think this is one that 52 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.240 the taxpayers, which is probably the beds and the state 53 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.520 Department of Transportation, are going to have to eat. But 54 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.280 it's a mess. I mean, what's it a I haven't 55 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.879 heard the estimates, but I'm guessing just without the economic impact, 56 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.199 the physical repairs of that bridge would be a half 57 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.000 a billion dollars or something. 58 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.400 To get it repaired. Well, the other part of this 59 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.960 is they haven't started the repair process yet. They're still 60 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.960 on they're still analyzing what to do. And these beams 61 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.159 that are ninety feet long four feet wide, that are 62 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.439 like housing. The structure have to be configured and created 63 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:17.680 and manufactured probably in China. And we're talking not talking 64 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.639 weeks anymore, they're talking months. We're talking, you know. 65 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.280 I have my new office downtown Willie and the primary 66 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.879 means of transportation. I live in Anderson up by the 67 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.840 Old Tony exit what used to be Old Coney and 68 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.080 that's a primary way for me to get home and back. 69 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.439 And you can't get there that way anymore going home. 70 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.800 And then I have a young attorney who lives in Newport, 71 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.680 and it's comical as to how difficult it is to 72 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:53.439 get from downtown Cincinnati or north on seventy one to 73 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:59.639 Campbell County. It is an absolute disaster of tremendous, you know. 74 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.039 So you have the economic impact of all this from 75 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.919 one you know, arrant decision of what to put under 76 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.080 the bridge and one homeless guy set in the fire. 77 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.319 It's unbelievable how much damage was caused by that one 78 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:12.759 set of decisions. 79 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.599 I guess Chris Phineas shows how fragile things are. On 80 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.879 a second matter, I'm watching yesterday, there's a Bucks County, 81 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.160 which is a suburban county outside of Philadelphia, and I 82 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.759 guess in Pennsylvania, unlike in the state of Ohio, they 83 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.480 elect by county election officials, and so we can only 84 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.920 imagine the left wing politics available in Pittsburgh, Alleghany and 85 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.000 also Philadelphia County. But Bucks County is similar to like 86 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:41.480 a Warren County, which is thoroughly democratic. And there was 87 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.439 an order from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that you can't 88 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.120 count a mail in ballots or absentee ballots that are 89 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.279 not signed and or dated. So a ballot will come 90 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.360 in and it's not signed and or dated. And this 91 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.439 election official actually set on camera knowing she was being 92 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.720 taped in an official meeting. We're not going to pay 93 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.399 attention to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court because we all know, 94 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.639 and she referenced the abortion matter of Dodd and dealing 95 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:12.040 with well, sometimes courts change the law and abortion, et cetera. 96 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.399 Absentee ballots, even though they're not signed and data, we're 97 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.560 going to count them anyway because that's the right thing 98 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.000 to do. And so now last night you may not 99 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.920 have seen it on YouTube, but I did, and there 100 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.839 were hundreds or thousands of citizens showed up and said, 101 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.680 what in the hell are you doing? The law says 102 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.439 you can't do it, but she wants to do it 103 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.560 anyway because she says they're democratic ballots to overturn the 104 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.600 US Senate seat. What's your reaction to that. 105 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.439 One, Well, Willie, I'm going to go far afield in 106 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.839 my answer to this. But if you think about the 107 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.800 immigration problem, for example, the problem in many cases we 108 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.560 have isn't the laws we have on the books. It's 109 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:48.759 that nobody. 110 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:49.240 Follows the laws. 111 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.480 The elected officials aren't enforcing the laws, the people who 112 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.839 are subject to the laws or ignoring the laws, and 113 00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.959 it shows what happens in the society where we lose 114 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.519 respect for the courts and the rule of law. So 115 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.879 a foundational issue for the sort of the steady unraveling 116 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.639 of our society is when we take the approach which 117 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.920 we have with the immigration issue that yeah, the laws 118 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.279 on the books, but everybody, the people who are supposed 119 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.839 to enforce it, and the immigrants and everyone else, we 120 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.839 just ignore what the law says. And that cannot be 121 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:29.199 the foundation of our society or everything unravels. And an 122 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.519 elected official that a high up, you know, important, This 123 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.360 is an important thing to control of the United States Senate, yes, 124 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.879 saying I'm going to ignore what the courts have told 125 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:40.319 me to do and do what I think is the 126 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.959 right thing to do. I don't, you know, I don't 127 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.680 know how society continues to exist. And she was rightly. 128 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.720 You know, Josh Shapiro, the Democrat governor, and other Democrats 129 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:55.959 themselves condemned her for that approach because it really reinforces 130 00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.480 what the people on January seventh and Donald Trump we're saying, 131 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.079 is that the last election was stolen. Why would you 132 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.759 give people that argument and reinforce that that there it's 133 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.399 a lawless process to account the votes, that this is 134 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.839 one of the most important functions in our society. 135 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.480 But she said that this is a very important function. 136 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.240 This is corrid our so called democracy. And if people 137 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.120 intend to vote and don't do it properly, that's okay. 138 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.879 You do a lot of real estate work. What if 139 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.360 you don't sign a deed, What if you don't date 140 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.759 a deed? Does that mean okay? The recorder might say, 141 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.399 you know what, even though Chris Finny he didn't sign 142 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.439 it and he didn't put a date on it. But 143 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.000 I kind of want to interpret his intent, so I'm 144 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.879 going to let the property transfer anyway, How does that end? 145 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.399 We all have laws that we have to comply with, 146 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.839 and if the approach begins to be you know, the 147 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.000 powerful get to decide which laws apply and which don't. 148 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.680 It's a pretty dangerous precedent. And there's a question which 149 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.160 I saw raised, which is should that election official be 150 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.519 charged criminally for what she did? Because the votes are 151 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.000 already counted, right, I mean, the ones that were counted 152 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:06.959 is legally or counted. You can't uncount them. So as 153 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.319 far as I'm concerned, she should be prosecuted just the 154 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.279 same way as the other folks that tampered with an 155 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.600 election should be prosecuted. That's ridiculous. 156 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.560 It happened in Minnesota also where an official was actually 157 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.519 charged because he was voting four large numbers of people 158 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.079 in Minneapolis and the precinct and he was the election 159 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.720 official and there was a bunch of ballots left over 160 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.720 at the end of the counting, and he just added 161 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.680 fifty more to the roles and just put him in. 162 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.600 And now, once you com mingle the ballots, how do 163 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.240 you uncom mingle them? And that gives flight to the 164 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.159 idea that the elections are not square. And you know, 165 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.840 I read everything that I can, And for the last 166 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:47.200 several cycles, the winning or losing democrat had between sixty 167 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.080 three and sixty eight million votes that were counted and cast, 168 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.080 and that person's behalf, whether it was Obama or whether 169 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.960 it was Hillary Clinton, or I leave Joe Biden off 170 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.679 to the side, or Kamala Harris, they get between sixty 171 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.519 three and sixty nine million votes. All of a sudden 172 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.759 twenty twenty, there was eighty one million people. There was 173 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.639 like an initial twelve to thirteen million people voted. And 174 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.360 where those votes come from? That's Trump's argument, We don't 175 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.279 know where they came from. And then I went back 176 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.639 to sea level in this election, back to about sixty 177 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.440 seven sixty eight million votes for Kamala Harris. So the 178 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.000 conspiratorial theorists like Tony Bender says, wait a minute, what 179 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.399 happened to those seven or eight million votes? Where are they? 180 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.960 And the answer is maybe there were thousands of election 181 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:30.159 officials like in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The simply said, you 182 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.960 know what, we know who should win this election. Let's 183 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.879 add a few to the polls co mingle them, in 184 00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.879 which case we can't identify the legal from illegal, and 185 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.360 that gives the conspiratorialists a hook to hang their hat on, 186 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:42.200 you know what I'm saying. 187 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.159 Unfortunately I do because I wish. I wish those people 188 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.440 didn't have a good point. But when we have people 189 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.919 that think that the rules are flexible, as it were, 190 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:59.960 to tilt the election, it's kind of frightening, isn't it. 191 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:01.720 Yeah, it's not good now. 192 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:03.960 Thirdly, me what the guy that's what the guy in 193 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.639 Venezuela did You know? He's been voted out twice, but 194 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.159 he fixes the vote each time and nobody can do 195 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.200 it because he controls the military down there, and there's 196 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:13.399 nothing anybody can do about it. 197 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.240 His name is Maduro, and he decides, and they did 198 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.519 all this exit polling that came out and he lost 199 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:21.200 like eighty to twenty. But by the time the military 200 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.960 shut down the polling places and everyone counted up the votes, 201 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.440 he won eighty to twenty. How's that possible? Maybe Bucks 202 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.320 County was in charge, and maybe that's the tip of 203 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.679 the iceberger. I can only imagine. We have a pretty 204 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.360 good Board of Elections director. Her name is Sherry poland 205 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.360 had her on several times. I can only imagine if 206 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.240 she had a news conference, not some aside to a 207 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.120 friend and a bar, maybe at Zip's getting a cheeseburger, 208 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.480 but she's had an official meeting in which she's announced, look, 209 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.080 I'm going to add to the voting roles hundreds or 210 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.519 thousands of votes that were not properly cast. And it's like, 211 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.519 why isn't she criminally charged. I'm talking about Bucks County. 212 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.440 That's a civil rights violation. And she did it. She 213 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.440 did it publicly, she admitted to it, and it's like, well, 214 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.240 no big deal. And Josh Shapiro, to his credit, took 215 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.519 several days to come out with a statement about five 216 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.639 days ago in which he said, you know what, follow 217 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.840 the law. Then the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued another order, 218 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.039 follow the law. Then finally she said, Okay, reluctantly, I'll 219 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.799 do it. It's like, are you kidding me? We can't have 220 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.799 a participatory democracy with election officials with their thumb and 221 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:27.879 knees on the scales. 222 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:28.240 Now. 223 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:32.759 Lastly, let's talk about Stanbury Park in Anderson Township. And 224 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.559 this was in our news about four or five days ago, 225 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.399 which is a beautiful park. Describe what have to pierival 226 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.960 did there and how relevant is to the people of 227 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.399 Cincinnati and Hamilton County. 228 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:47.159 Well, if you could think of a stable, middle class 229 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:53.879 neighborhood of working class people in Cincinnati, Mount Washington would 230 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:59.960 be a hard working, honest, and multi racial, multicultural community. 231 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:03.200 There's a woman that runs a barbecue station there in 232 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.039 downtown Mount Washington who's a bit of a pioneer hanging on. 233 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:12.799 And Stanbury Park is the sort of the recreational hub 234 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.440 of Mount Washington and they've had homeless people living there 235 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:21.320 for a very long time, and the city, I guess 236 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.799 just yesterday finally did some more about it. But there 237 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:29.039 seems to be this Portland, Oregon idea that we're not 238 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:33.480 going to bother the homeless people, which who are usually 239 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.440 doing drugs, mentally ill. In other words, you wouldn't want 240 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.159 to send your twelve year old child to Stanbury Park 241 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.240 to play in the afternoon by himself or with his friends. 242 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.840 It's not a safe place to be. And if your 243 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:50.799 neighborhood park in a solid, working class, middle class neighborhood 244 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.879 can't be a safe place for children to go, or 245 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.879 for adults for that matter, we are undermining the same 246 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.840 thing I just said, undermining the rule of law, the 247 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.159 sense of stability and our society. And my question and 248 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:08.200 that that barbecue operator who's one of the pioneers in 249 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:12.639 the downtown urban, uh business district of Mount Washington, if 250 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.679 she's saying I might move because I found people sleeping 251 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.799 on my picnic tables and uh, you know heroin needles, 252 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.200 which is close to Stanbury Park. If if we're driving, 253 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:29.240 who thinks that's good policy? Is is Amika Owens? Does 254 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:35.600 aftab purable? Does Jan Michelle Ernie think that these are 255 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.679 good policies to not not you know, we're not what 256 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.120 they say, eat the rich. We're not bothering the people 257 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.919 in Indian Hill and Hyde Park. This is a stable, 258 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:51.399 important neighborhood of this city where affordable housing is the 259 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.559 most affordable housing we have in the city exists. And 260 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.559 and the city will not clean up that park. That's 261 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:00.639 a problem, major problem. 262 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:04.000 Well, and it was cleaned up at one point. Then 263 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.639 you sent me these five picks of what's happening, and 264 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.039 correct me if I'm wrong. Is it a crime to 265 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.919 use needles, take drugs, expose oneself, no bathroom facilities to 266 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.600 live and a park? Isn't that a crime? 267 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.679 It is? It is called vagrancy along with the drug 268 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:25.399 dealing and the drug using and the other things. There's 269 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.960 many crimes that they're committing by living in the parks. 270 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.720 And we again, we just simply need to enforce the 271 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:36.320 laws consistently that we have instead of encouraging this bad behavior. 272 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:40.919 And our leaders of the city, and I got to 273 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.039 tell you, I admire you know, the economic development engine 274 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.559 of the city is amazing. A lot of good things 275 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.960 are happening in this city. But I watched this stuff, 276 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.879 and I say, who thinks this is good policy? Because 277 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.559 all we're doing is undermining the people who are, you know, 278 00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.480 struggling to hang on in I grew up in Kennedy Heights. 279 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.720 I grew up in a neighborhood. Seven kids in our family, right, 280 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.759 and you know, we had to make our way through 281 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.679 that neighborhood with the schools and the parks and whatever. 282 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.360 And our parents weren't around a while. You know, they 283 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.080 would lock the doors and send us outside until after dark. Right, 284 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.000 Will you remember the day? 285 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.320 Yes? Yes, I was in it, Yes, yes. 286 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.919 And you can't do that today because there's the fabric 287 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.399 of our society is in front of our eyes, unrailing, 288 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.840 and I would just ask the question of the chief 289 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:34.039 of police, of the mayor, of city council members, why 290 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.320 do you think this is good policy to let these 291 00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:40.720 these things continue. Please enforce the laws that we've had 292 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.120 on the books and enforced when I was a kid, 293 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.360 and otherwise these things weren't a problem. Why all of 294 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.399 a sudden have we decided to not just enforce the 295 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.759 laws as written and make our communities safe places. I 296 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.559 watched what by the way, Gavin Newsom is finally in 297 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.440 California cracking down on this stuff. But I have to 298 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:00.879 have purable when the city is not. 299 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.039 Why would that be Well, it's because I guess it's 300 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.399 politically incorrect. It should be politically correct to say we 301 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.879 can't have illegal activity and crimes committed. Arrest them, clean 302 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.840 up the park a station, a police officer there. Someone 303 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:16.960 shows up again, sleeps all night, uses drugs, urinate or 304 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.120 defecate or fornicated in public. You're under arrest, into the 305 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.039 justice center. And then we ought to have a functioning 306 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.399 Longview State Mental Hospital. It's not a homeless problem. That's 307 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:30.080 a misnumber. It's drug use and it's alcohol and it's insanity, 308 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.960 and those people need help. You don't get help this 309 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.720 afternoon when the snow's falling, it's thirty two degrees by 310 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.279 sleeping outside in some doorway of a barbecue plate that 311 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:43.240 it can't do business. And I've seen it especially around 312 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:46.240 Court Street and downtown Cincinnati, where my good friend Sean 313 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:49.399 Donovan lives, that people live outside, they own the steps 314 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.240 of Saint Francis Seraph School and church. The city does nothing. 315 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.919 They watch drug dealing, drug use and urinating in public 316 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:01.159 and no one does anything. Here's the message. Guess what, 317 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.440 it's okay, and it's not okay, and the city council 318 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.000 should worry about that stuff instead of the silliness they do. 319 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:11.359 But the Chris Finny once again, we'll see about Stanbury Park, 320 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:13.400 and I'm going to try to my best this weekend 321 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.079 to go frequent that barbecue place I know where it is, 322 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:18.240 to give that woman some business, because you can't conduct 323 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.440 a business in which those sleeping around you are using 324 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:26.319 drugs and acting out paranoid schizophrenia. But Chris Finnie, once again, 325 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.480 thanks for coming on, thanks for coming on the Bill 326 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:32.079 Cunningham Show. And Chris, you're really a very important person 327 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.559 in this community doing these kinds of things. And thanks 328 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:35.759 for talking about it publicly. 329 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.160 Thank you, very thank you for shining the light of 330 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:39.720 truth on it. Will you appreciate it? 331 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.319 Chris Finny, God bless America. Let's continue with more. And 332 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:46.319 it's not homelessness, it's insanity and drug use. City council 333 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:48.000 and the mayor puts up with it. I guess for 334 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.200 political purposes, and I don't get it. Bill Cunningham, News 335 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:58.000 Radio seven hundred WLW. All right, Billy Cunningham, the Great American. 336 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.680 Coming up after one o'clock today will be Warren County 337 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:05.799 Commissioner David Young. David Young, who's quite successful in Warren County. 338 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:09.000 I like to highlight happening in the so called suburban counties, 339 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.240 to see how things ought to go, see how things 340 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.839 should go. When I hear about Matt Gates and he 341 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.960 stepped down, he issued a statement saying that they didn't 342 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.240 want to become a distraction. I had scheduled for today 343 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.440 a certain senator who said it might be good to 344 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.440 wait for a few days without providing some of the 345 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:28.759 meat and bones on that one. So I think that's 346 00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:31.200 what's at play here. I was kind of led to 347 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:34.640 believe that after he met several senators in their offices. 348 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.640 The last two days ushered around by Senator JD. Vance. 349 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.799 There were more than a few that said he didn't 350 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.039 have the votes unless something dramatic would happened on the 351 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.720 other side. And when told that, the Trumpster said, well, 352 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.640 I'll make it a recess appointment, which would be valid 353 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.920 until like the end of the year, and then all 354 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.559 hell's going to break loose, and then the real reform 355 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.759 of the Department of Justice would be delayed since the 356 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.799 dark state, deep state, the swamp would arise and try 357 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.680 to stop Matt Gates at every turn. And so I 358 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.920 think a wiser heads prevailed and said, well, I'm not 359 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.079 going to die on that hill. But Donald Trump's the 360 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.160 kind of guy that would die on that hill because 361 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.279 he's gone through this now for the past ten years, 362 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.079 but tastasizing the past two or three years when the 363 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:23.720 Democrats weaponize criminal justice against Donald Trump, specifically by state 364 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.880 and county officials holding meetings in the White House with 365 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.160 Joe Biden's Council to talk about how to bring down 366 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.359 Donald Trump in the States so that federal authorities would 367 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.440 have no so called impact. When the White House was 368 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.839 shepherding through Atlanta and New York City, the attacks on 369 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:43.359 Donald Trump politically and legally and through indictments. It was 370 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.119 all planned by Joe Biden to make it happen, and 371 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:50.000 I would anticipate in the months and years ahead that'll 372 00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:55.640 become certainly more apparent that the complains of the radical 373 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:57.519 left that we don't want Donald Trump to go after 374 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:01.119 his political opponents, which is exactly the Democrats have done 375 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:05.799 for years against Republicans. And I also would note that 376 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:09.400 now that Matt Gates has stepped down as a nominee, 377 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:14.240 that to Marjorie Taylor Green issued a little bit of 378 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:19.759 a press release saying that if the private report supposedly 379 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.200 not made for the public eyes about so called sexual 380 00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:27.720 misconduct conducted by Matt Gates would be made public. She says, 381 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.519 why don't we do this? There have been millions and 382 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.279 millions of taxpayer dollars, in other words, your money. Use 383 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:38.480 this hush money to settle, among other things, allegations of 384 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:43.480 sexual misconduct by US congressmen against members of Congress and 385 00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:47.640 their staff for decades. One estimate is more than one 386 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.440 hundred million dollars have been paid of your moneys to 387 00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.720 the so called victims of sexual harassment and sexual assault 388 00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.279 conducted I'm sure by men against young staffers on the Capitol, 389 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.160 which have been hushed up and never made public. And 390 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.920 she made the comment, well, if all this stuff about 391 00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.519 Matt Gaates is going to come out, how about releasing 392 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:12.039 the names of the US congressmen who have had settlements 393 00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:15.640 paid in their name to staffers and the capital to 394 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:20.680 pay off allegations of improper sexual misconduct with the young 395 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.680 female staffers on the US Capitol. She said, it was 396 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:25.680 good for the gooses, good for the gander. Get all 397 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:29.319 it out. This includes the predators of the United States 398 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.279 Senate and the United States House of Representatives who were 399 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:37.279 abusive and sexually improper with generally young women serving as staffers. 400 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:39.599 Let's get it all out, and I would hope she 401 00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:42.319
