Speaker 1: Bill cunning in the Great American. Of course, Leland viteris
Speaker 1: with News Nation. He's moving to seven pm to nine
Speaker 1: pm on News Nation Monday through Friday. On balance, so
Speaker 1: much more going on and Leland vinter welcome again to
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, leaving the
Speaker 1: decision came out this morning from the US Supreme Court
Speaker 1: to give constitutional authority in a sense to the Congress
Speaker 1: that passed a ban on TikTok that takes effect at
Speaker 1: midnight on Sunday. Between now and then the Kulbi, two
Speaker 1: or three things happen. Biden has said he's going to
Speaker 1: leave it up to the next administration. Trump has said, well,
Speaker 1: it needs to be owned by an American business. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine during the heyday of the USSR if the
Speaker 1: Russians would control CBS Evening News and the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1: I don't think we would allow that to happen. But
Speaker 1: TikTok is one hundred and seventy five million users, two
Speaker 1: thirds of young adults, one third of adults over the
Speaker 1: age of twenty five are on TikTok, along with alliens
Speaker 1: of businesses. And I think the Trumpsters are the deal
Speaker 1: he's going to do something to delay at sixty to
Speaker 1: ninety days and try to work it out. And is
Speaker 1: that the way you see things you going with TikTok?
Speaker 2: Well, I think your analysis on why TikTok is a
Speaker 2: dangerous spot on right. There was all the things about oh,
Speaker 2: they know where you are and they know your metadata
Speaker 2: on your phone and being sent back to China, which
Speaker 2: is true, and then everybody goes, why do I care?
Speaker 2: Like you know, it didn't really Really The issue is
Speaker 2: is that the Chinese Communist Party gets to decide what
Speaker 2: Americans are seeing, and they used that to sew division
Speaker 2: in America. We saw that during the campus protests and
Speaker 2: the pro Hamas rallies post October seventh. It's why young
Speaker 2: people became so anti Semitic and so anti Israel and
Speaker 2: so pro Hamas would be. They were being said this
Speaker 2: diet by the Chinese Communist Party. So you're right, during
Speaker 2: the Cold War, we wouldn't have left the Soviet Union
Speaker 2: O CBS and the New York Times and the Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal, and we wouldn't have let the Germany during
Speaker 2: World War Two. I see it a little differently. I
Speaker 2: think that the Chinese have shown and they've said this,
Speaker 2: We'd rather shut TikTok down than sell it. And they've
Speaker 2: said that, which tells you that it's not about a business,
Speaker 2: which proves them as liars. You know, the Chinese are
Speaker 2: lying when their lips are moving. I'm I am unclear
Speaker 2: why Donald Trump would allow something that is so dangerous
Speaker 2: and bad for America to continue to operate for a
Speaker 2: single day. Shut it down, Okay, get leverage over the Chinese,
Speaker 2: and then if they want to sell it, fine, No, no, no,
Speaker 2: No one's going to go hungry in America because TikTok
Speaker 2: is shut down while this art of the deal is
Speaker 2: being done.
Speaker 1: Right, and so we'll see what occurs to the communist red.
Speaker 1: Chinese have about a one trillion dollars per year budget
Speaker 1: does surplus with America. That is that they sell us
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars more things than we sell them. And
Speaker 1: so the idea that in addition to the marketplace eighty
Speaker 1: ninety percent of our pharmaceuticals all come from China. They
Speaker 1: control large parts of the American economy. They also have
Speaker 1: billions of dollars worth of US Treasury notes. They also
Speaker 1: have TikTok in which they're gathering the algorithms. They're gathering
Speaker 1: all the personal data of one hundred and seventy five
Speaker 1: million Americans to be used against them. It's incredible how
Speaker 1: we let this to happen. And this is a set
Speaker 1: up perfectly for Donald Trump on Monday, on inaugural Day.
Speaker 1: Somehow this is the art of the deal, and this
Speaker 1: is right in his swing house because he now knows
Speaker 1: that he can do something. And there's Americans who want
Speaker 1: to buy it, including mister Wonderful on CNBC. They want
Speaker 1: to buy it. But maybe Red China will say, you
Speaker 1: know what, We're not going to we shut it down completely,
Speaker 1: in which case the market will find another outlet. Correct.
Speaker 1: The market always wins.
Speaker 2: You have a lot more confidence in Donald Trump's ability
Speaker 2: to pull this off than I do, because I think
Speaker 2: there's a there's another Well. Look, I'm a journalist. My
Speaker 2: job is to be skeptical, right. I'm not pro Trump,
Speaker 2: I'm not anti Trump. I'm my job is to just
Speaker 2: tell you what's happening and why it's happening. The Chinese
Speaker 2: have enormous influence over Elon Musk because of Tesla lithium
Speaker 2: supplies for Tesla batteries and because of Tesla's market in China.
Speaker 2: Without China, Tesla is in a world of hurt as
Speaker 2: a company. And most of Elon Musk's wealth comes from Tesla,
Speaker 2: the vast majority of it. So there there are some
Speaker 2: there are some pressure points on Donald Trump that I
Speaker 2: think over the next six months to twelve months are
Speaker 2: going to become very clear. And there's there is this
Speaker 2: big break inside his administration. You have Marco Rubio yesterday,
Speaker 2: who made the point you made about pharmaceuticals, about our debt,
Speaker 2: about China's aggression in Asia, about their course of you know,
Speaker 2: their corsion around the world to try and heal countries
Speaker 2: away from being allies with America, and he gave a
Speaker 2: big warning in ten years America will essentially exist at
Speaker 2: China's willingness and at their behest. That's really dangerous. And
Speaker 2: again this idea, you know, Donald Trump said, I have
Speaker 2: a soft spot for TikTok. I don't know why you
Speaker 2: would have a soft spot for something that is so
Speaker 2: so bad for America and so and run so completely
Speaker 2: by America's adversary dot dot dot And I again, mister
Speaker 2: wonderful can do whatever you want. I don't really care.
Speaker 2: My issue is why would why would you if you
Speaker 2: want leverage over China shut it down. Call their bluff
Speaker 2: on day one, okay, and then we can negotiate later.
Speaker 2: You give this a reprieve. Okay, you are handing China
Speaker 2: a win on day one.
Speaker 1: We'll see in the next couple of days. What occurs
Speaker 1: to shut down at midnight on Sunday and the Monday
Speaker 1: morning twelve later.
Speaker 2: You want to give you, We're going to give you
Speaker 2: the real kicker here. Yes, may shut down. All All
Speaker 2: the law says is we're going to remove it must
Speaker 2: be removed from the app store. So the one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy million Americans who have it on their phones
Speaker 2: can keep it on their phones and they can keep
Speaker 2: using it. The people who said they're going to shut
Speaker 2: it down or the Chinese because they want to force
Speaker 2: the issue.
Speaker 1: And so the Trumpster's got a decision if they shut
Speaker 1: it down. Does your crystal ball tell you that Chinese
Speaker 1: will shut down an app actually do what they said
Speaker 1: they're going to do. I don't think they're going to
Speaker 1: shut it down. I think they won't take any new users.
Speaker 1: Just let it play out. That's my prediction.
Speaker 2: I think the Chinese play a game of chess that
Speaker 2: is so unbelievably aggressive, and they think that they can
Speaker 2: play us, and by giving any kind of reprieve to
Speaker 2: me is an enormous I was a mistake, but he well, actually,
Speaker 2: I say that giving the Chinese any kind of reprieve
Speaker 2: until they meaningfully change how they act is an enormous mistake.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move to page two. Is this an
Speaker 1: historical presidency? And I'll make this argument to you Leland
Speaker 1: Witdertive News Nation that when I look at what Donald
Speaker 1: Trump has done the past ten years in politics, it's
Speaker 1: historically unpresidented. In twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, he took down
Speaker 1: the Bush dynasty dynasty which was of course Jeff Bush.
Speaker 1: He was done. And then the Obama wanted the continuation
Speaker 1: of the third Obama term with Hillary Clinton. He defeated
Speaker 1: the Bushes, then he defeated the Obamas. Then here comes
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton entitled presidency. Took down the Clintons,
Speaker 1: and then came Joe Biden. Joe Biden has been in
Speaker 1: office for more than a half a century, one way
Speaker 1: or another. Took down the Bidens, he took down the Cheney's,
Speaker 1: he took down Nancy Pelosi that won't even come to
Speaker 1: the inaugural, which is who cares? But the point is
Speaker 1: the Bushes, the Obama, the Clinton's, the Cheneye, the Biden's,
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi all fall beneath the mighty boot of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking, Okay, could some businessman out of
Speaker 1: New York City pull this one off? The answer is
Speaker 1: not is only yes as hell? Yes? Is this an
Speaker 1: historical moment taking place on Monday when he takes the
Speaker 1: presidency again?
Speaker 2: Well, frankly, anytime America gets a new president, it's historical.
Speaker 2: Will Donald Trump go down in history as a unique
Speaker 2: inflection point? Which is? I think what you're pointing out
Speaker 2: in American history? Absolutely? And you went through the list
Speaker 2: of sort of things and enforces in American politics that
Speaker 2: he has vanquished. It is absurdly impressive. Friday Night Tonight
Speaker 2: and then Sunday Night again, NewsNation presents Bill O'Reilly United
Speaker 2: States of Trump, where we go through all this. I
Speaker 2: interviewed Bill O'Reilly, He's known Trump for thirty five years,
Speaker 2: unbelievable access, an insight into was you would call him
Speaker 2: the Trumpster? And what motivates him, what the dangers are ahead,
Speaker 2: on and on. Yes, yes, it's historical. I get that.
Speaker 2: The one thing I would caution Americans about, you know
Speaker 2: that that old line which is forever true, this too
Speaker 2: shall pass. Number one, right, and number and number two. Okay,
Speaker 2: we'll see you know, Donald Trump. Donald Trump's presidency was
Speaker 2: chugging along just fine in twenty nineteen and into twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: and then COVID hit, for which he was uniquely I
Speaker 2: should say, uh, probably unprepared to deal with. And uh yes,
Speaker 2: there were a lot of forces against him that that
Speaker 2: that worked against him and sort of you know, wanted
Speaker 2: to use COVID to get him out of office. But I
Speaker 2: think what's most historical about right now, and I think
Speaker 2: you'll agree with me on this is how the resistance
Speaker 2: to Donald Trump in the media, in corporate America, and
Speaker 2: in tech, which in twenty seventeen, those three groups coalesced
Speaker 2: around stopping Donald Trump at all costs. That resistance that
Speaker 2: was like the glacier was put in the microwave. Over
Speaker 2: the past three months, I'm looking, I'm looking out right
Speaker 2: now in my window at the founder of Starbucks. Find
Speaker 2: me a more liberal company than Starbucks. His yacht is
Speaker 2: here for the inauguration.
Speaker 1: N Zuckerberg and all the Olive Garks that supported Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: He loved the oligarchs when they were with him. He
Speaker 1: hates him now that he's against him, including the entire
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. This waxes and Wayne's hell. In nineteen sixty four,
Speaker 1: you couldn't find a Republican with a search war, and
Speaker 1: four years later Nixon was elected, and these things that
Speaker 1: went back and forth all the time. So who knows
Speaker 1: what's going to be like in four years. But if
Speaker 1: he has a successful presidency, then JD. Vans will likely
Speaker 1: be elected president and get an eight year run.
Speaker 2: Now, thanks Cunningham. Yeah, I'm gonna get you. Go, get
Speaker 2: me on the record. Okay, now I'm getting you on
Speaker 2: the record. The governor of Ohio announces his pick for
Speaker 2: the United States Senate at one pm Eastern. I believe
Speaker 2: we're talking at eleven fifteen am. Yes, who does the wine?
Speaker 1: Pick my crystal ball, says Lieutenant Governor John Eusted. For
Speaker 1: this reason that Viveke Ramaswami was encouraged by Trump to
Speaker 1: take the Senate seat. But Mavek has told many, including
Speaker 1: yours surely, that his real goal is to become the
Speaker 1: governor of Ohio. And when John Houston, who has got
Speaker 1: all the backing of the powers that be in Ohio
Speaker 1: to be the next governor, decides okay, I'll switch to
Speaker 1: the Senate. That leaves the path of Veke Ramaswami clearly
Speaker 1: open to become the next governor. He can spend the
Speaker 1: next year in Doge, going around and around with Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: and then come to Ohio where he's from. He went
Speaker 1: to school about five miles f where I broadcast from it,
Speaker 1: a place called Sanex High School. Grew up in Springfield Township.
Speaker 1: He lives in Columbus now, and then he can become
Speaker 1: the He wants to do something. And I harkened back
Speaker 1: to the two conversations I had one with George Bonovitch
Speaker 1: wanted to Mike DeWine. Both have been governor for eight years,
Speaker 1: and both had been in the Senate for eight years.
Speaker 1: And I asked him both separately. Of course, I said
Speaker 1: governor of Vanovitch. What's a better job, he said, I
Speaker 1: asked him Senate or governor. He says, there's no question
Speaker 1: about it. Everyone knows being a governor is better because
Speaker 1: you can do something with a Senate you can't. You
Speaker 1: can advocate, you win, you lose your horse trade. Mike
Speaker 1: Dwaine told me the same thing about three weeks three
Speaker 1: months ago. He said, I'm so happy I'm not in
Speaker 1: the Senate. I hated it there, all the horse dealing,
Speaker 1: all the crap you had to put up with. I
Speaker 1: love being the governor. And viveg. Garamaswami has listened to
Speaker 1: that advice that's saying, oh, you can actually do something
Speaker 1: in Ohio. So I think it's going to be John
Speaker 1: Houston and then Viveke Garamaswami will say he's going to
Speaker 1: run for the governorship. That's my prediction. You heard it
Speaker 1: here first, all right, we got to run once again. Uh,
Speaker 1: Leland Vetter, congratulations. I guess it's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a promotion to prime time nine pm, money through Friday
Speaker 1: on News Nation. I'll be watching tonight and once again,
Speaker 1: Leland Vitter, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Leland. Thanks Bill, God bless America. Let's continue
Speaker 1: with more. And that's my prediction. I'm sticking to it
Speaker 1: until after one o'clock, we're going to hear the news
Speaker 1: conference live. According to Tony Bender, so at that point
Speaker 1: we'll know, but that's my prediction. Could things switch up, absolutely,
Speaker 1: But I think the stars are aligning for John Euston,
Speaker 1: the Lieutenant governor, to get appointed to the Senate and
Speaker 1: get him there immediately because the votes next week are
Speaker 1: going to be gigantic. And then secondly, Vivek has a
Speaker 1: gig already. Come back to Ohian about a year and
Speaker 1: away you go. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WULW
Speaker 1: Billy Cunningham, The Great America, A big news day here.
Speaker 1: We live for these kind of moments. Coming up after
Speaker 1: one o'clock will be the news conference of Mike Dwine Live.
Speaker 1: I'm making a prediction, I think, along with Tanya or Rourke,
Speaker 1: who doesn't make too many predictions, that it's likely to
Speaker 1: be Housted. But we do not know. John Eustad is
Speaker 1: the Lieutenant governor of the state of Ohio. And there
Speaker 1: was national publications the last two weeks who said that
Speaker 1: Avake Ramaswami san x grad from a Springfield township. You know,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is the political center of the world right now,
Speaker 1: right here Cincinnati, Everyone coming out of Cincinnati is doing
Speaker 1: great things. But nonetheless, and so that's a field speculation
Speaker 1: that Vake Ramaswami was going to get the Senate appointment
Speaker 1: of JD. Vance he vacated the position about a week ago,
Speaker 1: and that John Houston, the light governor, is going to
Speaker 1: run state of Ohio after Mike DeWine moves on. So
Speaker 1: but a national reporting has been rather quiet on it.
Speaker 1: But between yours truly and Tanyo O'Rourke, I think we
Speaker 1: have that information, but I'm not sure. Won't know for
Speaker 1: sure until after one o'clock today, And secondly, later on
Speaker 1: we have Senator Ran Paul will be with us live
Speaker 1: after two o'clock. Until then we move on. I would
Speaker 1: note that the Equal Rights Amendment, you might recall, that
Speaker 1: was passed by the Congress in nineteen seventy two, but
Speaker 1: it failed to be ratified by the required three force
Speaker 1: in the states within the seven year deadline. But Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has announced that the Eagle Rights Amendment is now
Speaker 1: part of the Constitution, overriding the two thirds of the
Speaker 1: House two thirds of the Senate that said the era
Speaker 1: Egle Rights Amendment had to be resolved by the states
Speaker 1: within seven years would have been nineteen seventy nine. I
Speaker 1: tell Joe that the law says it is not part
Speaker 1: of the constitution, but Joe Biden announced recently it is
Speaker 1: part of the constitution. Stay tuned from more tan Yo
Speaker 1: Rook will be here in about five or six minutes
Speaker 1: to talk about a couple issues. One as the Bengals lease.
Speaker 1: The other one is the announcement. At one o'clock. We're
Speaker 1: going to carry it for you live. Mike Dewinea points
Speaker 1: Jade Vans's replacement on seven hundred WLW Cincinnati. Let's continue,
Speaker 1: we never stop, We simply continue. After one o'clock, Mike
Speaker 1: DeWine will be here through the kind offices of ABC
Speaker 1: News to announce his pick for lieutenant, his pick for
Speaker 1: a US Senate seat, and maybe his pick for aten
Speaker 1: of governor. We think, but a woman in touch with
Speaker 1: all these issues is Tanyo Rourke The Power of nine
Speaker 1: at w CPO and Tanyo Rourke, Welcome again to the
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham Show. And Tanya, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm great? How are you?
Speaker 3: Bill?
Speaker 2: It's so good to talk to you.
Speaker 1: I can't bet I can't be any better. Let's talk
Speaker 1: first of all about what governors maybe perhaps reported to
Speaker 1: say after one o'clock. I can tell you straight.
Speaker 2: I've been reporting this for the.
Speaker 4: Better part of forty five minutes. This is it's going
Speaker 4: to be John Houston. So John Houston is going to
Speaker 4: the Senate. I've gotten that from people very close to
Speaker 4: the situation who that you know, the governor Dwine has
Speaker 4: made that as a pick. We know, we you know,
Speaker 4: we know that he talked to Vivike Ramaswami over the weekend.
Speaker 4: We know the Vike was, you know, mildly interested in it,
Speaker 4: but really wants the governorship. I've talked to the Vikes
Speaker 4: people in there today, in fact, yesterday, I talked to him,
Speaker 4: touch him today and they're like, look, he's on he's
Speaker 4: on target. He's going forward with doje and he'll be
Speaker 4: announcing running governor. You know sometimes now, so it feels
Speaker 4: like maybe in this situation, everyone kind of gets what
Speaker 4: they want. John Houston moves on to the Senate, takes
Speaker 4: every Jdvans the seat, and maybe the Veke Roamswami runs
Speaker 4: for governor of the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: You know, Tanya, there was reporting about a week ago
Speaker 1: through national media types that Donald Trump wanted for Veke
Speaker 1: Ramaswami to get this seat, and by John Houston was
Speaker 1: also acceptable to him because the governor took John Tomar
Speaker 1: a Lago to kiss the ring about three weeks ago.
Speaker 1: So that came out of nothing. So the reporting that
Speaker 1: Vavek had the inside track because of Donald Trump may
Speaker 1: not have been accurate at the time.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I think that certainly I could never
Speaker 4: speak to what goes on in the governor's mind, right,
Speaker 4: But if the Vek is like, yeah, I wouldn't mind Senate,
Speaker 4: but I really would prefer governor. And the governor has
Speaker 4: a choice to make, like who is going to go
Speaker 4: to the Senate and protect Ohio and Ohioans? Who can
Speaker 4: he trust? I mean, the things that I think that
Speaker 4: we know from the actions that governors wanted has taken
Speaker 4: in the past is basically he looks at competency and
Speaker 4: then he looks at loyalty, and he is going to
Speaker 4: pick somebody who he knows will do the right thing
Speaker 4: that he believes is the right thing for the great
Speaker 4: state of Ohio. So does this surprise you in any
Speaker 4: way that John hu said would be a good choice
Speaker 4: for him or his choice, I should say, in a.
Speaker 1: Sense, the governor will not be picking the next governor
Speaker 1: because that's going to be done by the people. And
Speaker 1: you know, we have a pretty good attorney general named
Speaker 1: David Yost who wants to also run. He's announced he's running.
Speaker 1: And so Mike DeWine did not want to put his
Speaker 1: thumb on the scales and say, Okay, I'm going to
Speaker 1: pick for you the next governor by endorsing us John
Speaker 1: Eustaid for governor and give this to the other way.
Speaker 1: So that one thing he could have done was appoint
Speaker 1: a person to serve immediately in the Senate. Because right
Speaker 1: now the Senate is down to about fifty one Republicans.
Speaker 1: They began at fifty three. But in aust Ohio they
Speaker 1: don't have Ohio at the present time. They will soon.
Speaker 1: And also Florida, the attorney general there female is not
Speaker 1: going to take office to a Tuesday or Wednesday. She's
Speaker 1: clean up her office. So he's getting rather thin. And
Speaker 1: so he wanted to a point someone who could go
Speaker 1: in immediately, and that person, John Eusta, did not talk
Speaker 1: to him about two weeks ago. And you know, his
Speaker 1: focus was on Ohio. He said, I'm not a Washington
Speaker 1: kind of a guy, I'm an Ohio kind of a guy.
Speaker 1: And I said, I get it. He said, But let's
Speaker 1: face it, I'll do what the governor asked me to do.
Speaker 1: And so I think it came down to Mike DeWine
Speaker 1: saying I can appoint my friend, my buddy, I know
Speaker 1: we'll do a good job in the Senate, John Houston.
Speaker 1: And then if Avake Ramaswami actually comes back to Ohio
Speaker 1: in about a year and says I'm going to run,
Speaker 1: it might be a crowded field, in which case the
Speaker 1: governor is not picking the next governor. The governor's picking
Speaker 1: the next Senator, which he can control, and he likes
Speaker 1: John Eusta a lot.
Speaker 4: Well, and think about what is going on in Ohio
Speaker 4: right now. You have so much federal do so many
Speaker 4: federal dollars running into the state of Ohio for gigantic projects,
Speaker 4: and so maybe you need someone who can really who
Speaker 4: knows your agenda as the governor of Ohio, who knows
Speaker 4: And again I'm making wild assumptions here, but maybe not
Speaker 4: so wild, is it. Wouldn't you as governor want someone
Speaker 4: who knows, who has been with you for seven years
Speaker 4: now and knows exactly what you want for the state
Speaker 4: of Ohio and you know that person inside and out.
Speaker 4: As well as much as you can know another person
Speaker 4: in that way. And so if you have been in
Speaker 4: lockstaff for the last six and a half seven years
Speaker 4: that you're going to walk in, you have that person
Speaker 4: walk into Washington and protect Ohio and what it's been
Speaker 4: working towards this whole time. I think that makes some
Speaker 4: sense if you think about it.
Speaker 2: From that perspective.
Speaker 1: And of course it's needed immediately because this is Friday afternoon.
Speaker 1: I got to start voting on things immediately. Who becomes
Speaker 1: the lieutenant governor because at some point, you know, at
Speaker 1: some point, but you no, no, I would not no,
Speaker 1: judge Penny, no, no, how about you? How about you?
Speaker 4: Nobody needs me. That would not go well, that would
Speaker 4: not go well.
Speaker 2: Not interested.
Speaker 4: But I mean, you know, I think that there are
Speaker 4: a lot of people in the great state of Ohio
Speaker 4: who would serve the f lieutenant governor quite well. I
Speaker 4: think that, you know, the governor probably has plenty of
Speaker 4: people lining up, as I understand it, the line without
Speaker 4: the door of people wanting this Senate.
Speaker 2: See, I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: So same thing, the same thing with the lieutenant governor.
Speaker 4: I would think, yeah, I would think so too. I mean, basically,
Speaker 4: everyone who said I really wanted Tennessee now says, hey,
Speaker 4: how about my governor?
Speaker 2: I would do that too.
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk. We're going to carry it live in
Speaker 1: about twenty minutes, so I'm sure Channel nine is also
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Bengals lace, the ongoing saga, which
Speaker 1: is now thirty years This is about as ugly as
Speaker 1: it get. Tell the American people time, yo, uric, what's
Speaker 1: happening with the Bengals lease?
Speaker 4: Okay, So, our I team, Dan Monk and company had
Speaker 4: been working on this for quite some time and we
Speaker 4: got a bunch of dump of information that for you know,
Speaker 4: we asked for all these freedom of information documents and
Speaker 4: we've got them yesterday, so that we have big stories
Speaker 4: coming on this today. And let me read a quote
Speaker 4: to you that was sent by Jeff to Jeff Aludo,
Speaker 4: who is a Hamil County administrator from the Bengals vice
Speaker 4: president Troy Blackbird, married to Katie Brown Blackbird. Right, this
Speaker 4: is Thursday, January ninth. Oh goodness, my computer literally just
Speaker 4: timed out for a second. It basically says that give
Speaker 4: me a second. Here is the county has not performed
Speaker 4: its obligations under the lease with the stadium entering his
Speaker 4: final lease year, the situation stands very much at a precipice,
Speaker 4: and we hope progress can be made to the stadium
Speaker 4: remains an asset.
Speaker 2: For the community.
Speaker 4: Does that sound like a little bit of a veiled threat, Yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 4: maybe not so veiled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's not just said that you've breached the lease,
Speaker 1: and the Bengals of course playing the card that we
Speaker 1: may renew it. I guess there's five two year extensions
Speaker 1: up to ten years, and then things have completely collapsed.
Speaker 1: And at this point the city and the Bengals are
Speaker 1: on different pages. And the Bengals think that the cities
Speaker 1: breached the lease in several areas. And this reporting from
Speaker 1: Dan Monk and Channel nine has numerous areas in which
Speaker 1: they tell the America be able to two or three
Speaker 1: main things that the county's not done so far.
Speaker 4: It's the county and so the Bengals in the county
Speaker 4: are the ones who have to negotiate this deal. But
Speaker 4: so Blackburn is accused the county is violating a section
Speaker 4: of the clause. They called for the county to reimburse
Speaker 4: the team for game day expenses in the final like
Speaker 4: multiple years, nine years of that lease. Now they weigh
Speaker 4: the payments in twenty eighteen and changed for the county
Speaker 4: spending thirty million dollars to move Hilltop Concrete, you know,
Speaker 4: that concrete company away from the riverfront. But it didn't
Speaker 4: happen in the t timely manner it was supposed to.
Speaker 4: So the team started building the county for the game
Speaker 4: day expenses back in twenty twenty three. So they're saying
Speaker 4: you're in violation of that, and so the firing back
Speaker 4: by the county is and so we're like kind of
Speaker 4: a tit for cat at this point, like, Okay, well
Speaker 4: you didn't talk to us about renaming the stadium, pay
Speaker 4: Corps approval, none of that, you know. So there's this,
Speaker 4: you know, back and forth and back and forth going
Speaker 4: on and again. The latest one was the one I
Speaker 4: read to from January ninth, that they're saying, well, we
Speaker 4: hope we can still remain an asset for this community.
Speaker 1: And another part of this Troy Blackburn memo says to
Speaker 1: following me on the second page, another major issue that
Speaker 1: Bengals believes the team and the county already should have
Speaker 1: made significant progress on four hundred and ninety four million
Speaker 1: dollars in basic facility improvements outlined by the consulting firm
Speaker 1: as part of the County and Bengals review of the
Speaker 1: stadium's condition leading up to the least negotiations. The firms
Speaker 1: of the stadiums will maintain as good bones but needed
Speaker 1: upgrades to its fire protection, structure, technology, concessions, roof and
Speaker 1: transportation between levels. And basically this memo indicates that those
Speaker 1: complete breakdown and negotiations correct.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's to me as I'm reading it, I'm looking
Speaker 4: at this point, Well, they're certainly miles apart, for sure,
Speaker 4: At a minimum, they're miles apart. To me, it sounds
Speaker 4: like this is not going well in the slightest I've
Speaker 4: reached out to Tom Gableman, who is an attorney who
Speaker 4: is hired by the county to work on these lease steals.
Speaker 4: As you well know, we as a WCPO have reached
Speaker 4: out to virtually everyone involved in the situation trying to
Speaker 4: get anyone to talk to us about this specifically. Of course,
Speaker 4: you have a huge breakdown on this coming up for
Speaker 4: you at six o'clock tonight, but it is it is
Speaker 4: never going to be I think, I think if you
Speaker 4: remember back to what was it twenty seven years ago
Speaker 4: when the stadium Lea Steel was being negotiated, you know,
Speaker 4: then this was didn't I think a lot of people
Speaker 4: would look at that Lee Steel and go, wow, the
Speaker 4: Browns really got a great deal. Hey, that's a pretty
Speaker 4: lucrative deal. So the county didn't do a fantastic job
Speaker 4: then necessarily, and I don't It doesn't look like it's
Speaker 4: going well right now.
Speaker 1: No, another part of us. In May of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: that the team announced it would spend on its own
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollars of its own money,
Speaker 1: partially fund up by the NFL on stadium upgrades. In
Speaker 1: July of twenty twenty four, which about six months ago,
Speaker 1: Blackburn accused the county of blocking those plans. So the
Speaker 1: county would not agree to the Bengals spending one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars on upgrades. And you have to shake your head.
Speaker 1: Why would the county not accept one hundred twenty million dollars?
Speaker 1: And that the county said no, we're not going to
Speaker 1: accept that.
Speaker 4: It's like what, yeah, so why why is that?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 4: What is going on?
Speaker 2: What is the deal here?
Speaker 4: So we've got those guys pouring over all of these
Speaker 4: documents trying to get to the bottom of what is
Speaker 4: really happening. But you knew from the very beginning this
Speaker 4: is not going to go particularly easily. I think that
Speaker 4: the Brown family are very intelligent people. This is their business.
Speaker 2: It's what they do for a living.
Speaker 4: They run a football team, right, and so this is
Speaker 4: this is their bread and butter. They don't have another
Speaker 4: industry outside of this. They're all attorneys, and they're going
Speaker 4: to figure this out and they're going to hire the
Speaker 4: best attorneys. And on the other side, you've got the county,
Speaker 4: who is, you know, working within its means to have
Speaker 4: an attorney's working on their behalf. And it was never
Speaker 4: going to go swimmingly. But I did not expect, I
Speaker 4: don't know, if you didn't expect to see either to
Speaker 4: be going fit badly this early.
Speaker 1: I would have thought one other part of this. A
Speaker 1: memo for Channel nine I'll have it on tonight, says
Speaker 1: the following, Yeah, it is stunning, this is uh, this
Speaker 1: is Blackburn. It is stunning that Hamlin a county not
Speaker 1: only refuses to maintain the stadium but actually restrains us
Speaker 1: from maintaining our own stadium. That's hard to understand. We're
Speaker 1: simply out of time, quote unquote, So the county won't
Speaker 1: let the Bengal spend money, and the county says, uh,
Speaker 1: they're in violation of the lease. The Bengals say the
Speaker 1: county's in the violation of the lease, and Troy Blackburn says, quote,
Speaker 1: we're simply out of time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, those holiday good fields are over. You know, you
Speaker 4: look like what's happening in Cleveland where the Browns are
Speaker 4: trying to move out of downtown Cleveland and now there
Speaker 4: is potentially a lawsuit there to try to keep them
Speaker 4: in the city confines. But you know, so if you're
Speaker 4: at the Bengals, do you look at this and go, Okay,
Speaker 4: we'll move to Mason, We'll move to another city. Do
Speaker 4: you and remember how threatened we all felt by the
Speaker 4: idea of that moving to another city entirely thirty years ago,
Speaker 4: twenty five years ago. Do you feel that like do
Speaker 4: you personally think, oh, no, we're in danger of losing
Speaker 4: the Bengals or do you feel like Cincinnati County maybe
Speaker 4: in danger of losing well.
Speaker 1: Looking long term, when I speak to David Young, which
Speaker 1: I've done privately, and I had him on the air
Speaker 1: once and David Young, Warren County is about the best
Speaker 1: there is. It is the county in Ohio with the
Speaker 1: best bond rating. When they build a public works project,
Speaker 1: they do it out of cash. They don't borrow money.
Speaker 1: And he said that would be absurd to consider that
Speaker 1: a Warren County or a Boon County, or a Kenton
Speaker 1: County or a Butler County has the kind of ability
Speaker 1: to finance a multi billion dollar stadium from the ground up.
Speaker 1: He said, we just scan't. He didn't say yes or
Speaker 1: no on having discussions with the Bengals. He did say
Speaker 1: that we're just we don't know, have the capability of
Speaker 1: coming up with one to two billion dollars and we're
Speaker 1: just not going to do that because we got we
Speaker 1: got enough going on, we enough on our plate. You know,
Speaker 1: stay in your lane, and that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, the only Hambleton County has the power with
Speaker 1: the sales tax which doesn't have a sunset period in
Speaker 1: order to keep the Bengals here, and the Bengals have
Speaker 1: all the balls in their court because the lease is
Speaker 1: up in twenty twenty six, believe it or not, that's
Speaker 1: next year. I couldn't believe thirty years have gone by
Speaker 1: so quickly since since nineteen ninety six. It's twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: Here we are, and they have the ability I would anticipate,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you your roarc of nine news, that they would
Speaker 1: extend it two more years. They have five two year
Speaker 1: extensions just to see where it is, get them to
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, and that if Mike Brown shows up
Speaker 1: somewhere in Mexico City or London shows up in Toronto.
Speaker 1: Now we got an issue because this team is probably
Speaker 1: worth three to four billion dollars that the Brown family
Speaker 1: are worth billions, maybe five billion dollars. And it was
Speaker 1: bought for like fifty million, and I'm thinking, okay, he's
Speaker 1: gone from fifty million to the three billion dollars, isn't it.
Speaker 1: But to start from scratch and Warren County just it
Speaker 1: would take multi billionaires. It would take the lenders, the farmers,
Speaker 1: the Barretts, the Josephs, it would take everybody to pull
Speaker 1: their money together. And the NFL has been a great investment.
Speaker 1: It's only going one way but up. But at some
Speaker 1: point maybe the balloonal pop. At this point, the Brown
Speaker 1: family has all the has all the chits and that
Speaker 1: they have obviously the counties breached the lease. They can
Speaker 1: go to federal court and get an order requiring the
Speaker 1: county to spend all this money. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if they want to do that if they have a
Speaker 1: partner on the other side that they trust. You know,
Speaker 1: when you do a deal time, you got have to
Speaker 1: have partners that trust each other. I've said in some deals,
Speaker 1: let's hold hands, let's jump over and see what's there.
Speaker 1: And I don't think the Bengals.
Speaker 4: And the Kimp everybody right, yeah, you got a hold.
Speaker 1: Of let's go, let's go, but they're not there.
Speaker 4: That The Bengals probably hire the best and brightest that
Speaker 4: they can to represent them an these apociations, would you
Speaker 4: feel confident in that?
Speaker 1: Yes, And they also have the NFL behind them. They
Speaker 1: have the NFL and all the they have the Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones and all those people saying do this, do that?
Speaker 1: What do you think? And really, Katie's running things now
Speaker 1: more than Mike. But you know, Mike's not ninety years old,
Speaker 1: for God's sakes. And I wish them well, hopefully they
Speaker 1: live ten more years. But nonetheless, Katie's running it and
Speaker 1: they got the power of the National Football League behind them.
Speaker 1: And there's several, you know, franchises don't move. The last one,
Speaker 1: of course, was the Raiders went from Oakland to Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: I passed out, it was the it was Texas moving
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. They don't move very often. Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: what about this?
Speaker 4: And I have no this is not me having any information.
Speaker 2: I certainly do not.
Speaker 4: What about the Columbus beanngles.
Speaker 1: Columbus spangles, you'd run into Ohio state plus Columbus is
Speaker 1: maybe too close to Cleveland, and uh, but you got
Speaker 1: you got Ohio state there, high state is the NFL.
Speaker 1: I mean the amount of money and the power spent
Speaker 1: by a high state that that is something, but that
Speaker 1: would be starting from ground zero up and U.
Speaker 4: I did do an interview with with missus Brown, Mike
Speaker 4: Brown's one I saw.
Speaker 1: That was wonderful Nancy. That was wonderful Nancy.
Speaker 4: What a lovely lady she is. And she did say
Speaker 4: in there that he is extremely loyal, that her husband's
Speaker 4: extremely loyal to Cincinnati. I take her at a word,
Speaker 4: absolutely take her at a word. She is a very
Speaker 4: nice woman. I believe her one. But if I think
Speaker 4: if Push Cups is shoved, will this organization do what's
Speaker 4: best for self?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Yeah, alutely absolutely that they would sell to other owners
Speaker 1: and then move the team. It wouldn't be the Browns
Speaker 1: moving to tim Buck Too or London. It would be
Speaker 1: the new owners would pick up.
Speaker 4: So do you think that they I don't envision the
Speaker 4: Brown family ever selling any portion of this team. I
Speaker 4: think that they love that it's a family business. I mean,
Speaker 4: and again I don't have any you know, specific knowledge
Speaker 4: of this. It's just based on everything that I've seen
Speaker 4: my entire life. It doesn't seem to me that they're
Speaker 4: interested in being partial owners of the Red having a
Speaker 4: bunch of minority owners. But could you see a Carl
Speaker 4: in there, the Farmer family coming together and saying, all right,
Speaker 4: we'll buy it, We'll make it right, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: Yes I could, We'll buy it.
Speaker 1: Yes I could could, Yes I could. And the other
Speaker 1: thing about Mike Brown, absolutely, and Mike Brown's very loyal.
Speaker 1: But you have the key to this, I think, Tanya O'Rourke,
Speaker 1: is that the two parties do not trust each other.
Speaker 1: And when you don't trust each other. And that's the
Speaker 1: problem here. The county doesn't trust the Bengals, and the
Speaker 1: Angles don't trust the county. We got to run, Tanya Rourke,
Speaker 1: I'll be watching tonight at six, all right, see you then,
Speaker 1: God bless you. Let's continue with more. Coming up next
Speaker 1: is the Dwaine news conference about the appointment of the
Speaker 1: vacant to US Senate seat. And maybe the new Lieutenant
Speaker 1: governor could be Linda Mahallick right down that name, Linda
Speaker 1: Mahawick on seven hundred WLW by Billy coming in the
Speaker 1: Great American and any minute now, if you want to
Speaker 1: hear what's happening from the stage, Dave Keaton hit it.
Speaker 1: The band is getting ready for the big announcement. According
Speaker 1: to media accounts, John Houston will be selected as the
Speaker 1: next Senator and a lot of the voting on these
Speaker 1: cabinet positions are going to happen Monday evening. It's kind
Speaker 1: of traditional after the inaugural to if the party in
Speaker 1: power is also has the presidency in the Senate to
Speaker 1: do two or three votes on the inaugural night, especially
Speaker 1: now since it's going to be inside called off outside
Speaker 1: because of the weather, I'd say put your long Onney,
Speaker 1: we're on. Let's get it done. But that's not the
Speaker 1: way life works. And so the Trumpster's moving the swearing
Speaker 1: end to underneath the Capitol Dome. It'll be strictly limited
Speaker 1: in attendance. I would think you've been there many times.
Speaker 1: I've been there many times. Again, be more than one
Speaker 1: hundred people, two hundred people maximum. And so for all
Speaker 1: those who are driving and or flying to Washington to
Speaker 1: watch this historical moment, we'll see what happens. And Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan in nineteen eighty five also canceled the parade, so
Speaker 1: that to be determined. And if you're going to cancel one,
Speaker 1: you normally cancel the other, and so get to work.
Speaker 1: See what happens. So we'll see what occurs there. More
Speaker 1: on that sometime later today or tomorrow. We're waiting for
Speaker 1: Governor Mike DeWine to allegedly select his friend, his buddy,
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor John Eusted from Salina, a little bit north
Speaker 1: of Dayton area, to be the next Senator, and then
Speaker 1: he needs to get sworn in. He'll fly quickly to Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Probably Saturday or Sunday to be sworn in
Speaker 1: quickly by the President of the Senate, who by the
Speaker 1: way is JD. Vance. So JD. Vance and he's now
Speaker 1: he's now he's not a senator anymore, but as the
Speaker 1: vice president, he's the he's the Senate president, so to speak.
Speaker 1: He's in charge. He casts ballots when it's a tied vote.
Speaker 1: And so if tradition holds, the President of the Senate,
Speaker 1: who is the vice president, swears in the new senator.
Speaker 1: So the senator swearing in being sworn in by former
Speaker 1: Senator JD. Advance, who's being sworn in because the person
Speaker 1: swearing them in is vacated the office. So old Senator
Speaker 1: Vance is titled now as vice president and President of
Speaker 1: the Senate is going to swear in the new Senator,
Speaker 1: which we think is John Eustad. But we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: And that's any second now. And then I'm not sure
Speaker 1: about this either. I've got some text in but the uh,
Speaker 1: it would be true. Additional for the governor to appoint
Speaker 1: a lieutenant governor, you got to have a lieutenant governor.
Speaker 1: And the name I'm hearing in many quarters, in many
Speaker 1: circles is a person known as Lydia Mahalick m I
Speaker 1: h A. L I. K Lydia Mahalick, an oppressive woman
Speaker 1: who is from Findlay, Ohio and is the Ohio Developmental Director,
Speaker 1: and she's traveled all over the state bringing intel and
Speaker 1: a bunch of others, including the big announcement today of
Speaker 1: companies here and Mike Dwine loves that. And as an American,
Speaker 1: I think you would agree with me. The good old
Speaker 1: boys network needs to be broken up. Maybe I'm a
Speaker 1: good old boy, but nonetheless they're bringing some different looking
Speaker 1: individuals who are twenty to thirty years forty years younger,
Speaker 1: and kind of turn over the political class in this
Speaker 1: state is required. We have to do that. So and
Speaker 1: the reason there was reporting about two weeks ago that
Speaker 1: bavek Ramaswami was being wined, dined, in pocket lined by
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to take the Senate seat, and there was
Speaker 1: a lot of national reporting on that, but in reality
Speaker 1: you heard Tanyo O'Rourke and others say that for ak
Speaker 1: Ramaswami does not want to be a US Senator. He
Speaker 1: wants to be the governor of the state of Ohio,
Speaker 1: where you can do something I related to you earlier
Speaker 1: that I can recall some time spent with George Voinovich,
Speaker 1: who spent at least two terms in the Senate and
Speaker 1: two terms as the governor, and also Mike dewineho is
Speaker 1: a personal friend of mine, who said that the same thing,
Speaker 1: at least two terms in the Senate and then two
Speaker 1: terms as the governor, that the two jobs are completely different,
Speaker 1: one from the other. One advocates and the other implements.
Speaker 1: If you're a doer and not a talker, that's why
Speaker 1: I'd be good in the Senate. I like to talk,
Speaker 1: but Mike DeWine likes to get things done. He said,
Speaker 1: as the governor, I can direct things, I can order things.
Speaker 1: I can say do this, do that. I control my
Speaker 1: own schedule. I can think on my own. When I
Speaker 1: was in the Senate, I was one of fifty six
Speaker 1: at one point, in one of forty seven another point
Speaker 1: as Republicans. And he said, look, you get in the room,
Speaker 1: you advocate, your talk, you jabber your jaws, and nothing
Speaker 1: gets done except as a few people in the Senate
Speaker 1: Senate minority and majority leader that decide everything. And when
Speaker 1: you're in the Senate, you decide nothing. Many times I'm
Speaker 1: told how to vote, and Mike told me that offended
Speaker 1: me a lot being told by Senate leadership who to
Speaker 1: vote for it. I think the guy's name was Trent
Speaker 1: Lott of Mississippi, who would chief of staff of Mike
Speaker 1: Dwaine would get ready for the day's activities, and Mike
Speaker 1: Dwine's chief of staff would talk to the chief of
Speaker 1: staff of Trent Lott, and Mike would be told through
Speaker 1: his chief of staff how to vote. And that offended
Speaker 1: Mike greatly. So when someone like Favek Ramaswami hears about that,
Speaker 1: he's going to say, you know.
Speaker 5: What, I don't want to do that. I don't want
Speaker 5: somebody telling me what to do all the time.
Speaker 1: Every now and then. It's good. My wife Penny tells
Speaker 1: me all the time what to do, and I listened
Speaker 1: to her about half the time. She listens to me
Speaker 1: about two percent of the time. That's a different issue.
Speaker 1: But when you're told what to do in your off
Speaker 1: of mail, that's not good. So for Vike, Ramaswami investigated
Speaker 1: the Senate seat over the past two weeks and said,
Speaker 1: my skill set is better as the governor. I'm the
Speaker 1: man I'm making the decision go to bed right or wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm not being told how to vote on an issue
Speaker 1: that offends me. So that's kind of where it is.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why Vivek went to the big dog,
Speaker 1: not Tony Bender, but President don Donald J. Trump and said,
Speaker 1: mister President, with all due respect, you just met with
Speaker 1: John Eusta and Mike Dwine about three weeks ago, and
Speaker 1: they left the meeting and you said to them, I'm
Speaker 1: good and told this other thing arose about you wanting me,
Speaker 1: and he said, would you mind that John Eusta will
Speaker 1: be a loyal Republican and vote your agenda, And then
Speaker 1: I want to do what I want to do. I
Speaker 1: want to spend an hour on Doge, elon Musk, him
Speaker 1: and I together, and about a year on Doge, and
Speaker 1: then away we go and spend a year on Doge,
Speaker 1: and then I can come back the the governor's race
Speaker 1: is not till twenty twenty six. I can get things
Speaker 1: fired up in the first part of twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: and get things done please. And I'm sure the Trumpster
Speaker 1: would say, okay, okay, All I want is a loyal vote.
Speaker 1: Used to tells me it'll be a loyal vote. You know,
Speaker 1: Mike DeWine and Trump aren't very close a little bit
Speaker 1: of a wall there, different people. I don't think Frandwine
Speaker 1: is a lot like Millennia, for example. A little bit
Speaker 1: of a different there, a little bit of a culture shift,
Speaker 1: a little bit of different ideas about politics. Mike, go along,
Speaker 1: get along, walk across the aisle, talk to the other side,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Well, you know that's not Donald Trump. He's
Speaker 1: a bullet in china shop. He's a leader, magnificent leader
Speaker 1: who brought down the Bushies, brought down the Obamas, brought
Speaker 1: down the Clintons, brought down the Cheney's, brought down the Bidens,
Speaker 1: bring down Nancy Pelusi and Chuck Schumer. This guy's unbelievable,
Speaker 1: and the character of this is that way. So let's
Speaker 1: take a short break as soon as the speech of
Speaker 1: find begins, and Dave King, can we go to the
Speaker 1: high channel real quick to see what's happening inside the room.
Speaker 1: It's little violin music there.
Speaker 5: If you want to go to sleep, let's continue as
Speaker 5: time allows on news radio seven WLD.
Speaker 6: If you want to protect yourself, get a double barrel shotgun,
Speaker 6: have the shelves a twelve gay shotgun. And I promise you,
Speaker 6: as I told my wife, We live in an area
Speaker 6: that's wooded and somewhat secluded, said Jill. If there's ever
Speaker 6: a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out,
Speaker 6: put that double barrel shotgun and fired to blasts.
Speaker 1: Hello, quiet, and I'm skos. I'm broadcasting. Well, segus was
Speaker 1: that guy? I don't know who that guy was. I
Speaker 1: was that multi million dollar homes and he's been on
Speaker 1: a government salary for all of his life. Sounds like
Speaker 1: he's playing Clint Eastwood or something. Multi million dollar homes.
Speaker 1: Say high, hang him high, just full of dollars? Or
Speaker 1: what about the good? I'm Joe Biden's horsman.
Speaker 5: The good, the bad, and the ugly. That's the way
Speaker 5: it's been for four years. That's Nancy Pelosi is the ugly.
Speaker 5: She's not showing up set Monday. Huh coward, nice coward,
Speaker 5: nice coward. Way to go unity. Was she counting her
Speaker 5: money or her husband getting attacked again?
Speaker 1: She's also on the government payroll and she worth two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million. Yeah, makes some serious jack. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so give me some sports and make it fast. Because
Speaker 1: John Houston was somewhat uh vociferous.
Speaker 5: He wanted to talk. He's still talking. He's still talking policy.

Speaker 5: through twenty twenty nine and thirty worth twenty five million
Speaker 5: dollars to coach girls basketball women's basketball. To you, mister,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry the era is passed. According to Joe Biden,
Speaker 5: it hasn't. He thinks it is back.
Speaker 1: To the National Football League.
Speaker 5: Roger Goodell, speaking today, says adding an eighteenth game while
Speaker 5: cutting one preseason game is the next logical step in
Speaker 5: the league, but it would require a deal deal with
Speaker 5: the players.
Speaker 1: Well, they ought also include an extra week of off week,
Speaker 1: so you should have two instead of one. Would you agree?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 5: I think they're going to I don't. I think will
Speaker 5: they eliminate preseason all together? Just go out and play
Speaker 5: a scrimmage or something. Well, and the starters don't play anything.
Speaker 5: I don't get it. Well, I guarantee you that'll change
Speaker 5: this year for the Bengals and better. Yeah, something's got
Speaker 5: to change in pre season one and not have them
Speaker 5: laying around and doing nothing, and then all of a
Speaker 5: sudden playing the New England.
Speaker 1: Patriots in New the bed ill come well last.
Speaker 5: That was one Mayos guys, one of his wins terrible
Speaker 5: and he got the gate terrible by Robert Kraft said, see,

Speaker 5: culture over the weekend at the Cincinnata Art Museum.
Speaker 1: And what about the Bengals in the county at each
Speaker 1: other's throats? Neither party trust the other. I heard they
Speaker 1: exchange their first session of barbs today they've with drawn
Speaker 1: all offers. The ben Galleys have said, everything we've offered
Speaker 1: is off the table, going back to zero one. They
Speaker 1: don't trust each other when you have a big business
Speaker 1: deal like this and the parties don't trust each other,
Speaker 1: not good. That's a problem.
Speaker 5: So who's gonna who's gonna be the uh, who's gonna
Speaker 5: be like Hissinger of this? Is it gonna be aftab?
Speaker 5: I have a new look? Provow pro valve mayor.
Speaker 1: About Bob Bettinghouse coming back representing the county?
Speaker 5: What about j b Get him? And I'm not talking
Speaker 5: about Johnny Bench. I'm talking about Jeff Birding. Get him
Speaker 5: back in ball or.
Speaker 1: JJ. All I can say is justice, Joe, Joe Dieter
Speaker 1: come down. It's Jeff Birding on the outside on the
Speaker 1: other side. Get the man, Bob betting House, the cuttingham
Speaker 1: and Jeff Birding say, give me out of the student's report.
Speaker 1: By the way, we have Senator rand Paul scheduled in
Speaker 1: about ten minutes segment.
Speaker 5: Willie and Utter of a good weekend ahead, but rainy
Speaker 5: and maybe some more of cold weather. We leave you
Speaker 5: with the immortal words of the Stooge Report.
Speaker 2: All I should be with people.
Speaker 1: By the way, they're still talking at the news company.
Speaker 1: Thank you. On news Radio seven hundred W Elder my
Speaker 1: Billy Cunning in the Great American of course, Senator Ran
Speaker 1: Paul is the junior centator from my home state of Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Senator Paul, welcome again to the Bill Show. And Senator
Speaker 1: First of all, I watched this morning you're hearing with
Speaker 1: South Dakota Governor Christy Nome. Can you tell the American
Speaker 1: people how it went?
Speaker 3: I think very well. The Democrats were relatively tame and
Speaker 3: wealth behaves and I think she's going to get some
Speaker 3: Democrat votes, so I think she's going to get through.
Speaker 3: My hope is that we can get her through on
Speaker 3: the day of the inauguration, but I think it's going
Speaker 3: to happen at least next week one way another.
Speaker 1: And it might help to have Senator John Houston with
Speaker 1: you on our left. Governor Mike Dwaine disappointed him to
Speaker 1: take Jade Vance's Senate seat, so you'll be more at
Speaker 1: full compliment come Monday night, assuming he's sworn in, which
Speaker 1: were now. And then on the homeland security front, there's
Speaker 1: no more disastrous policy that caused Joe Biden, thank God,
Speaker 1: to lose the election than the southern border. And then
Speaker 1: another issue was the app. Can you tell the American
Speaker 1: people what is the app used by terrorist criminals and others.
Speaker 1: What is the app?
Speaker 3: Well, you would think you were in an alternate universe.
Speaker 3: The Biden administration decided they would develop an app to
Speaker 3: make it easier to illegally come in our country and
Speaker 3: apply for asylum. So basically, every person who's poor in
Speaker 3: the Southern Hemisphere and Central America decided to come up
Speaker 3: here and we decided to make an app. Now, they
Speaker 3: weren't that poor because they all had cell phones, so
Speaker 3: they've all got their iPhone with an app on it.
Speaker 3: But basically it was to make it easier for them
Speaker 3: to get into the country. And instead we should have
Speaker 3: saying yeah, you can come if you've got twenty thousand
Speaker 3: dollars entry fee. Maybe you know, we made to make
Speaker 3: it harder, not easier. But no, it was a disaster
Speaker 3: and it was abused. But really we had a hearing
Speaker 3: this week, my first hearing on policy. It was called
Speaker 3: Remain in Mexico. We had the former Director of Homelandsecurity
Speaker 3: Ken Kochinelli under the first Trump administration, and the question
Speaker 3: we ask does the president have enough power right now
Speaker 3: to control the border. And the answer really universally among
Speaker 3: the Republicans and that people testifying was yes, there is
Speaker 3: enough power. The reason Biden didn't control the borders. He
Speaker 3: got rid of eighty executive orders of President Trump and
Speaker 3: he just opened the border so we can close it.
Speaker 3: And I think Trump is going to close the border
Speaker 3: on day one. I think you're going to see the
Speaker 3: numbers plummet, and hopefully you'll see the crime plumbting as well. Well.
Speaker 1: This is a little bit inside baseball, but the Lake
Speaker 1: and Riley Act, which was a piece of legislation which
Speaker 1: would tell Ice to put a detainer and to arrest
Speaker 1: criminals who attack American citizens, it appeared that it got
Speaker 1: past cloture with sixty one votes, and essentially it means
Speaker 1: that if an illegal alien commits a serious crime, like
Speaker 1: in Lake and Riley's case, she was a student, a
Speaker 1: nursing student at Georgia State. She was raped and beaten
Speaker 1: and murdered by a guy named at Bara that came
Speaker 1: in through the southern border. Used the app got the
Speaker 1: New York City Committee at least eight crimes in New
Speaker 1: York City for she was arrested. Things got a little
Speaker 1: bit chilly there, so he went south to Georgia and
Speaker 1: hunted down and murdered Lake and Riley. But there were many,
Speaker 1: many the majority of Democrats voted against this. They did
Speaker 1: not want that to happen. Now, I know, are you
Speaker 1: confident now that Lake and Rally Acts is going to pass?
Speaker 3: Yes, it is going to pass. And it's you know,
Speaker 3: a good thing for the country. But still a sad
Speaker 3: day thinking about her family and what they went through.
Speaker 3: And then it was completely avoidable. Not only did he
Speaker 3: come into the country US in the app come in illegally.
Speaker 3: We paid to fly him to New York, and then
Speaker 3: we paid for his food in New York. And then
Speaker 3: when he was done committing crimes in New York, nobody
Speaker 3: deported him, nobody detained him. He said, can you fly
Speaker 3: me to Atlanta? The taxpayer flew into Biden administration, flew
Speaker 3: into Atlanta, and then he went over to Athens, marauding
Speaker 3: and killing. And it's like her life could have been
Speaker 3: saved that they've been following the law. What they were
Speaker 3: doing is millions of people were coming in and saying
Speaker 3: we want to be you know, come in under political asylum,
Speaker 3: and they were parolling them. They should have been kept.
Speaker 3: Actually I would have never admitted them. I would have
Speaker 3: put him right back on those the river and say
Speaker 3: you're not welcome. And I still think the president has
Speaker 3: the power to do that. Don't do all these long
Speaker 3: detention hearings, don't take years in year now, and don't
Speaker 3: escort people through the Concertina want or to our side.
Speaker 3: Put them safely and gently and commonly on the other
Speaker 3: side and say you will not enter. And if you
Speaker 3: did that over and over again, the adventure get tired
Speaker 3: of coming in and we'd control our border again.
Speaker 1: Thanks are going to change, and I hope Christy Noome
Speaker 1: has one of those important cabinet positions when she holds
Speaker 1: a homeland security As far as what's happening in California,
Speaker 1: head on another senator about a week ago who talked
Speaker 1: about the one hundred to four hundred billion dollars got
Speaker 1: to be sent there, and the President has said that
Speaker 1: it might be strings attached, and that was a reason
Speaker 1: for many liberals to attack Donald Trump. Senator Ram Paul,
Speaker 1: what is your idea about fixing the problems in California
Speaker 1: in such a ways to make sure that they don't
Speaker 1: become more permanent, because I think California is a lost state, completely.
Speaker 3: Out of it. Yeah, I think no money should be
Speaker 3: sent anywhere without strings attached, and nobody no money should
Speaker 3: be sent anywhere that's not taken from somewhere else in
Speaker 3: the budget. So we have a two trillion dollar deficit.
Speaker 3: If they're going to borrow two hundred billion dollars and
Speaker 3: send it to California, I'm against that. Even with the
Speaker 3: strings attached. You got to take it from some of
Speaker 3: those someplace else. So if you want to take it
Speaker 3: from Ukraine, or you want to take it from you know,
Speaker 3: all the foreign aid that we send around the world,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm for that, but I'm not just for
Speaker 3: borrowing it. But I do have a question, and I
Speaker 3: brought this up in the hearing today. You've got all
Speaker 3: these mansions that were right on the beach burning. How
Speaker 3: hard would it be to have a generator and a
Speaker 3: hose that you stick in the Pacific Ocean and suck
Speaker 3: water out of the ocean to drench those houses when
Speaker 3: fire is getting close. How hard would it be to
Speaker 3: suck water the ocean and put it in cisterns up
Speaker 3: on the hills about a mile inland and have just
Speaker 3: an unlimited source of water. But I guarantee they they
Speaker 3: can't do that because it's illegal to spray water that
Speaker 3: has salt in it, right, you know, but there's an
Speaker 3: unlimited rainfall is precious in southern California. But seawater, you know,
Speaker 3: the biggest body of water in the in the world
Speaker 3: is specific ocean. So I think you could do that.
Speaker 3: Burn your brush, have some firewalls, have some plan prescribed
Speaker 3: fires when there's no wind out, and you could manage
Speaker 3: it and probably still have an accidental fire now and again,
Speaker 3: but probably have a lot less damage than this thing provided.
Speaker 3: But instead they're too busy doing DEI diversity equity inclusion,
Speaker 3: making racial policy and you know bearded drag queens, you know,
Speaker 3: instead of fireman.
Speaker 1: And the other issue is the spotted beetle. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what a spamp storry cockroach. I don't know what
Speaker 1: a spotted cockroaches. Whether there's a special bush or a
Speaker 1: plant that had to be protected so they couldn't build
Speaker 1: one of the reservoirs. You got the smeltfish that are spawning,
Speaker 1: and they need they need special protection to spawn. And
Speaker 1: I'm losing my mind thinking, Okay, let's give them another
Speaker 1: two hundred billion dollars that we borrow and tell them
Speaker 1: just the same policies in effect. It makes no sense, Senator,
Speaker 1: it makes no sense at all.
Speaker 3: Did you see the story this week about the snail darterer.
Speaker 3: They finally had some guy admit that the snail darter
Speaker 3: was made up. So there was this damn that we're
Speaker 3: going to build in Tennessee. I think this was about
Speaker 3: in the seventies and some biologists went out there and
Speaker 3: he says, aha, I've got it, and he holds up
Speaker 3: a fishy he caught with a net and he said,
Speaker 3: this will stop them. And the whole purpose of just
Speaker 3: divining or designing or discovering this new species was that
Speaker 3: it was going to be rare. Well, it turns out
Speaker 3: it was not new at all. They've done the genetics
Speaker 3: on it now and it's everywhere, the damned snail darterer.
Speaker 3: You can't get out of any state or any county
Speaker 3: without finding a new order. But this is the kind
Speaker 3: of craziness that has held us up.
Speaker 2: In Kentucky.
Speaker 3: We have something they say is endangered called the pocket
Speaker 3: book muscle. Well, it turns out when they made it endangered,
Speaker 3: like twenty five years ago, people kept looking for it
Speaker 3: and everywhere they looked they found it. So the initial
Speaker 3: study said oh, it's only in like seven counties in Kentucky.
Speaker 3: You're maybe Tennessee. But the more they've looked, it's in
Speaker 3: like seventeen states and four hundred counties. But they won't
Speaker 3: take it off the list. And what we do is
Speaker 3: every time we build in Kentucky anyway, time you're near
Speaker 3: a river, a lake, you've got to do a muscle count.
Speaker 3: And it just some consulting gets rich. And that's what
Speaker 3: most of these regulations do. They don't even ultimately do
Speaker 3: anything to protect the pocketbook. Muscle, the building all happens,
Speaker 3: but some consultant gets a couple hundred thousand dollars for
Speaker 3: looking at counting the muscles.
Speaker 1: You know, a senator around Paul Lae. Republicans try to
Speaker 1: fix the problem, but we keep spending. For example, if
Speaker 1: you spend one to two hundred billion dollars more into California,
Speaker 1: at some point six months, it will be a supplemental
Speaker 1: a spending bill. Throw some more money into the Ukraine.
Speaker 1: I think Biden spent about a billion dollars more in
Speaker 1: Ukraine arm send out there. We now have to spend
Speaker 1: another one hundred billion dollars or more on the southern
Speaker 1: border to hire more agents, more detention beds. I had
Speaker 1: Tom Homan on about a month ago. He said, we
Speaker 1: need about another four thousand detention beds, maybe as many
Speaker 1: a six thousand more detention beds with facilities. Suddenly we're
Speaker 1: spending again hundreds of billions of dollars we don't have.
Speaker 1: Every one hundred and twenty days we borrow another trillion
Speaker 1: dollars put on top of the stack. By the time
Speaker 1: Trump leaves office, unless something dramatic happens, it's going to
Speaker 1: be north of forty trillion dollars in national debt. I
Speaker 1: know you and your dead were one hundred percent against this,
Speaker 1: but isn't it also true that Republicans often spend money
Speaker 1: that are not paid for in any sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very fair and very bipartisan in my criticism.
Speaker 3: Both parties are responsible. The way I describe it as this,
Speaker 3: there's no Democrat U in Washington or really anywhere that
Speaker 3: cares about the debt. They pretend too. Sometimes when you're
Speaker 3: talking about taxes, they don't. They don't care about the debt.
Speaker 3: They'll spend money till there's no more. Many Republicans pretend
Speaker 3: to care about the debt and then about maybe ten
Speaker 3: to twenty percent once they're up here for a while
Speaker 3: actually still believe and will vote against it. And that's
Speaker 3: the frustration we have so all this crazy waste that
Speaker 3: I point out on Testivus that those just talking about
Speaker 3: you say, well, why don't we end it. We've been
Speaker 3: talking about it since William Proxmayer came up with a
Speaker 3: Golden Fleece award in the seventies, and yet we still
Speaker 3: have it. And the reason we have it is big government. Republicans.
Speaker 3: Two years ago they voted on a chips bill give
Speaker 3: subsidies to big corporations, which I'm against, to Intel and
Speaker 3: all these chip manufacturers, but also double the size of
Speaker 3: the National Science Foundation. And this is a group that
Speaker 3: did a study recently for four hundred thousand dollars to
Speaker 3: study whether lonely rats use more cocaine than social happy rats.
Speaker 1: Lonely didn't you give a list of a ag Ramaswami
Speaker 1: hundreds of pages of studies of cocaine, raccoons and rats.
Speaker 1: How long is that listed?
Speaker 3: Four point eight million dollars for social media influencers in Ukraine,
Speaker 3: three million dollars for girl centric whatever the hell that is?
Speaker 3: Girl centric climate change in Brazil, A couple million dollars
Speaker 3: to do border control in southern Paraguay. So, I mean
Speaker 3: the list goes on and on. Small business loans to
Speaker 3: purse manufacturers in Ukraine, paid for the plane tickets at
Speaker 3: the perse store to go to the fashion the pairis
Speaker 3: fashion show. I mean, it's insulting. Somebody ought to be mad.
Speaker 3: Somebody ought to send some of these people packing, send
Speaker 3: them back home.
Speaker 1: We need the external revenue service that Trump's talking about
Speaker 1: now TikTok. This morning, the US Supreme Court ruled that
Speaker 1: Congress has the power to decide what to do here.
Speaker 1: Every act of the Congress is presumed to be constitutional.
Speaker 1: And the Supreme Court ruled this morning that TikTok, that
Speaker 1: the bill passed by the Congress effectually ends TikTok at
Speaker 1: midnight on Sunday night, and the Trumpster wants to have
Speaker 1: some availability to negotiate a deal. How did you vote
Speaker 1: on that bill and what do you see happening with TikTok?
Speaker 3: You know, I'm for free speech, and that means all speech.
Speaker 3: I you know, as far as presumption of constitutionality, that's
Speaker 3: a big debate. And there is this question, can we
Speaker 3: presume all laws or constitutional or can we presume liberty?
Speaker 3: So I presume that we're born in the state of liberty,
Speaker 3: and that to be constitutional, it has to adhere to that.
Speaker 3: But we don't presume that every law passed. And I
Speaker 3: think that's a mistake on the court. So the court,
Speaker 3: I think, sidestep this and didn't rule in the correct way.
Speaker 3: And the first man that says Congress shall pass no
Speaker 3: law and abridging or banning speech, and one hundred and
Speaker 3: seventy million Americans use this app I didn't say you
Speaker 3: can abridge speech. If you think of somebody sending your
Speaker 3: data to a foreign adversary, it says you can't abridge speech.
Speaker 3: People can always choose not to use it. Right. The
Speaker 3: worst argument I hear, and this sometimes coumes some conservative
Speaker 3: They say, well, they pan our stuff, we should ban
Speaker 3: their stuff. And it's like, well, they are Chinese authoritarians,
Speaker 3: that's what it separates us from them. Acting like them
Speaker 3: is crazy. NEXTU ban TikTok in China, believe it or God,
Speaker 3: and we're going to emulate the Joinis of door Durance.
Speaker 3: I hope Trump can reverse it.
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens, and uh, we got to run,
Speaker 1: but I love you being there, and hopefully you'll be
Speaker 1: long enough to be the senior centers a senator from Kentucky.
Speaker 1: It's going to be close, and you anticipate Monday night
Speaker 1: there'll be some of these some of these appointees will
Speaker 1: be actually voted on during the inaugural, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: is inside now. It's not going to be outside at all.
Speaker 1: There'll be no parade, but much like Ronald Reagan had
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty five, it was inside with no parade.
Speaker 1: Everything's going to be inside. But you know, does your
Speaker 1: crystal ball say that every one of the Trump designatees
Speaker 1: will get through by Monday night or thereafter.
Speaker 3: I think Secretary of State gets done on Monday. I
Speaker 3: think there's a possibility of U Secretary Department of Homeland
Speaker 3: Security that Governor now might get through on Monday. And Bill,
Speaker 3: you need to come to Washington while you come broadcast
Speaker 3: from Washington. We'll do one live from up here.
Speaker 1: I'd like to do that, but it's too cold now.
Speaker 1: But my people will be in touch with your people.
Speaker 1: It's too cold, man, I mean right here, you know here,
Speaker 1: I guess you're in Washington Monday Tuesday. Wednesday is going
Speaker 1: to be zero again. Global warming is breaking out all over.
Speaker 1: We have so much global warming. It's twelve inches deep
Speaker 1: and it's been like this the entire year, and I
Speaker 1: anticipate it is going to be even colder. I've done
Speaker 1: that before. New Gingrich invited me to the balcony there
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five in January, and that was a
Speaker 1: wonderful occasion. But I'd like to go to go back
Speaker 1: to the Washington and do some reporting from there, maybe
Speaker 1: in the spring, something like that.
Speaker 3: Yep, we've got a balcony. It's not quite the Speaker's balcony,
Speaker 3: but I do have a balcony and we'll let you
Speaker 3: interview anybody you want to jump there. And it's got
Speaker 3: to be spring and nice weather, but definitely you're invited.
Speaker 1: Rand Paul, thank you very much. Give my best to
Speaker 1: your lovely wife, and hopefully you won't be attacked by
Speaker 1: left going agitators sometime during the inaugural Are you concerned
Speaker 1: at all about violence like you went through when you
Speaker 1: visited Trump in the White House about five years ago?
Speaker 3: Are you it's Washington, we are more We are more
Speaker 3: concerned now and I usually have armed people with me
Speaker 3: now because of that, and it's it's sad, but you
Speaker 3: have to take precautions. Even in twenty sixteen when Trump
Speaker 3: was worn in. You know, they always want to talk
Speaker 3: about January sixth, this and January sixth that there was
Speaker 3: violent moms roaming left wing moms in December sixteenth golf
Speaker 3: and Trump was illegitimate and we had armed people with
Speaker 3: us and we had to have their offences constructed to
Speaker 3: try to separate us from some of the crowds that
Speaker 3: you know. Anyway, we're gonna be safe.
Speaker 1: But that wasn't reported on because it didn't fit the
Speaker 1: diet tribe. Senator Ran Paul once again, you're going to
Speaker 1: have a good senator there with John Houston.
Speaker 5: You're gonna like him. Have you met John Houston before?
Speaker 3: I can't remember, but I'm looking forward to the reading
Speaker 3: if I have met him before. But we're looking for
Speaker 3: getting up here.
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. All right, Senator, we'll do it. We
Speaker 1: gotta take up you're invite in the spring. We'll come
Speaker 1: there and have a great two or three hours. Thank you, Senator,
Speaker 1: God bless you. Let's continue with more. Uh there you
Speaker 1: heard it. Monday night. There's going to be certain of
Speaker 1: the of the nominees will be confirmed by the Senate.
Speaker 1: And imagine the road not taken that if right now
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is being sworn in on Monday and the
Speaker 1: Senate remained in the hands of Chuck Schumer. When you
Speaker 1: think things are going wrong with the Trumpster, things can't
Speaker 1: be perfect. Think about that thought. To get you back
Speaker 1: on track, Let's continue with more Bill cunning into Great
Speaker 1: American Live at Home of the Bengals News Radio seven
