Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, the Great America. Welcome this great Wednesday. A
Speaker 1: few and the try fid the weather it's perfect, can't
Speaker 1: be any better. And getting ready of course with the
Speaker 1: Bengals on Sunday, it's going to be a white out
Speaker 1: Sunday at one oh five with the birds are in town,
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. But until then, joining you and I
Speaker 1: now is Melissa Powers, our county prosecutor, and Melissa welcome
Speaker 1: again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all,
Speaker 1: before I get into specifics, there's been a report circulating
Speaker 1: the last couple of years that somehow crime rates are down,
Speaker 1: that somehow there's less crime than there has been before.
Speaker 1: And then the FBI revised an extent at their remarks
Speaker 1: about two weeks ago and said, actually that's not the case.
Speaker 1: We missed about four thousand murders, and we missed about
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand robberies, we missed thirty five thousand sexual assaults,
Speaker 1: so we've updated the numbers. In fact, the crime rate
Speaker 1: is up. Now, when your neighbor is out of work,
Speaker 1: that's kind of a recession. When you're out of work,
Speaker 1: it's a depression. So I care more about Hamblon County
Speaker 1: than I do about the nation. You've been in law
Speaker 1: enforcement directly and in directly for more than three decades,
Speaker 1: and what is your sense of the crime rate in
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Hamilton County is going up, going down, or
Speaker 1: staying about the same.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what the specific data that's being
Speaker 2: reported here locally, but I can stay just from our
Speaker 2: own eyes and ears, you would say that crime is up.
Speaker 2: Most crimes go unreported, and what we feel in the neighborhoods,
Speaker 2: what we see on TV, what we're experiencing. I think
Speaker 2: people would say that, you know, the crime is still
Speaker 2: far too high. We still need to make more progress
Speaker 2: and we need to be working on finding solutions. I
Speaker 2: mean constantly I'm meeting with victims of crime. They'll tell
Speaker 2: you crime is too high. Or I'm meeting with mothers
Speaker 2: of murdered children. They're going to say the crime rate
Speaker 2: is too high. So as far as this is the
Speaker 2: actual statistics, I would say we have too much. We
Speaker 2: have problems in Cincinnati that we need to address, and
Speaker 2: we want to make sure that everybody in our community
Speaker 2: feels safe.
Speaker 1: You know one thing that really fires me up as
Speaker 1: I specifically remember I have a pretty good memory going
Speaker 1: back in the nineteen nineties that in nineteen ninety one,
Speaker 1: a character named Jeffrey Woganstall kidnapped a brutally murdered stayb
Speaker 1: to death ten or eleven year old girl, Amber Garrett.
Speaker 1: And Mark Crumbine, who's one of the legal eagles on
Speaker 1: Channel nineteen, was one of the defense attorneys, and I
Speaker 1: can recall having on the witnesses in that case about
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Woganstall and went on and on and on, and
Speaker 1: now here we are more than thirty thirty three years
Speaker 1: later and he's filed repeat it motions for a new trial.
Speaker 1: He claims the body was dumped in Ohio. He says,
Speaker 1: not in Indiana, and that Judge Jenkins is a new
Speaker 1: judge on the bench. It's got to be busy with
Speaker 1: current cases. But your office is trying to defend the
Speaker 1: criminal conviction to Jeffrey Woganenstall for killing this girl, molesting her,
Speaker 1: and then killing her. And one of his pubic hairs
Speaker 1: was found in her underwear, which I guess is evidence
Speaker 1: of something, but nonetheless one of the allegations of the defense.
Speaker 1: Currently here we are in twenty twenty four, we're talking
Speaker 1: about events that took place more than thirty years ago,
Speaker 1: was that the discovery rules have changed, that those Brady
Speaker 1: violations that your predecessor in title as the Prosecutor's Office,
Speaker 1: it might have been Artiney or Joe Dieters did not
Speaker 1: give all the evidence to Jeffrey Wroganstall that could have
Speaker 1: exonerated him. Can you explain, just in general, whether it's
Speaker 1: the l Rod case out of Blue Ash or Jeffrey Wogenstall,
Speaker 1: what has changed the past thirty to thirty five years
Speaker 1: as far as what your office has to give the defense.
Speaker 2: Well, as you said lately, there's been motions for new
Speaker 2: trials that have been filed in the trial court level
Speaker 2: on old cases, and you're talking about the Woganstall that
Speaker 2: one is now being argued on emotion leave to file
Speaker 2: for emotion for new trial. So it's not even and
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gone to the point where it's
Speaker 2: on the merits for the new trial. But as you
Speaker 2: point out, all of these cases that have been going
Speaker 2: back since I've been in the office, the cases were
Speaker 2: tried twenty thirty fifteen years ago before I was ever
Speaker 2: in charge of the office. So s number one, number two,
Speaker 2: it's not really being fairly reported by the media. They're
Speaker 2: claiming that these convictions where a trial judge is granting
Speaker 2: the new trial has been overturned, and then the people
Speaker 2: are being exonerated, the defendants are being exonerated, and that's inaccurate.
Speaker 2: These are motions for new trial. There was a trial
Speaker 2: years and years ago. Whatever case we're talking about, twelve
Speaker 2: jurors found the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt made a conviction.
Speaker 2: The case was reviewed by the Court of Appeals, by
Speaker 2: the Ohio Supreme Court, by the federal court. The Elwood
Speaker 2: case that you're speaking of. There eighteen different judges took
Speaker 2: a look at that case, found that there were no
Speaker 2: issues with either the evidence or did any air as
Speaker 2: far as the legality of that was done, and upheld
Speaker 2: the convictions. Years later, the cases with a brand new
Speaker 2: judge on the bench hearing emotion for new trial, is
Speaker 2: granting these motions on the basis that evidence was not
Speaker 2: turned over, not provided to the other side during the trial. Now,
Speaker 2: all these issues were discussed throughout the appeals and had
Speaker 2: been ruled upon by the higher courts. None found that
Speaker 2: there were any air, But because the evidence rules have
Speaker 2: now changed, they're not the same evidence rules that they
Speaker 2: were thirty Excuse me, the discovery rules were changed. You
Speaker 2: didn't need to provide what was now the saying should
Speaker 2: been provided by the trial court judge. So that's where
Speaker 2: we are. It puts US at a clear disadvantage. Nothing
Speaker 2: has been documented by say, computer systems, what was turned
Speaker 2: over or not turned over. Witnesses are dead, defense attorneys
Speaker 2: are dead, so we can't even find out for sure.
Speaker 2: So it puts the state at a clear disadvantage when
Speaker 2: we're at this point, that case is on appeal to
Speaker 2: the higher Supreme Court. Now, whether or not that's inaccurate
Speaker 2: that the trial court judge appropriately granted a motion for
Speaker 2: new trial on the woven Stall case, as I said,
Speaker 2: that one's stipending as well, and that involves again some
Speaker 2: what they're claiming Brady violations, but again it involves discovery
Speaker 2: rules that are much different today than they were thirty
Speaker 2: years ago. And is it quite? Is it fair? Is
Speaker 2: it the right thing that you can now evaluate a
Speaker 2: case after these rules have been changed when they were
Speaker 2: always these rules up until I don't recently really so?
Speaker 2: And then the matters of and will be pending before
Speaker 2: the Ohio Supreme court. We have twelve cases and at
Speaker 2: the criminal cases before the Hire Supreme Court. So that's
Speaker 2: what's going on here. And as I said this, the
Speaker 2: prosecutor's state is a clear disadvantage in these matters because
Speaker 2: of evidence is lost, memories are faded, witnesses are dead,
Speaker 2: defense attorneys are dead, and so it's really hard to
Speaker 2: proceed sometimes and being able to present whether it has
Speaker 2: whether there will be a new trial, or whether you
Speaker 2: know this was accurately done by the trial court judge
Speaker 2: of brand new trial court judge looking at it for
Speaker 2: the first time, right, who knows more, maybe than eighteen
Speaker 2: other judges. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's the thing that these cases go up and down,
Speaker 1: up and down. And the sadness in the in the
Speaker 1: Woganstall matter is that the father of Am Garrett, who
Speaker 1: was viciously kidnapped and murder at the age of ten
Speaker 1: from Harrison, Ohio, a beautiful little girl. He gave an
Speaker 1: interview to Brian Hamrick of five and he said, quote,
Speaker 1: it's aging me, it's destroying me, it's devastating. It's that
Speaker 1: groundhoul day over and over and over again. When is
Speaker 1: it going to stop? So the father of this little
Speaker 1: girl who was kidnapped and brutalized and sexualized and stabbed
Speaker 1: to death, body dumped that this goes on and on
Speaker 1: and on. And the defense attorney, one of them was
Speaker 1: Mark Crumbine, who fortunately is a good man still around,
Speaker 1: and he said justice was done, whatever that might be
Speaker 1: when he was convicted. And one of the arguments from
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Wogenstall was well, I didn't drop the body in Indiana.
Speaker 1: I put it in Ohio. So well, that's a distinction
Speaker 1: without a difference. But the other thing is the Brady
Speaker 1: violation for those who may not know, and I think
Speaker 1: most people don't, provides discovery what the state's got to
Speaker 1: give the defense and if some piece of evidence was
Speaker 1: not given. The new liberal judges were saying, without violations,
Speaker 1: the whole conviction. They got the right guy. He murdered her,
Speaker 1: he sexually assaulted her, his pubic hare found inside her pant.
Speaker 1: He's a ten year old girl. But he's claiming, well,
Speaker 1: all the evidence wasn't turned over. So even if this judge,
Speaker 1: Judge Jenkins, actually grants a new trial down the road
Speaker 1: at some point, it doesn't mean he didn't commit the crime.
Speaker 1: It means Judge by twenty twenty four standards on discovery
Speaker 1: that nineteen ninety one conviction should not have happened. And
Speaker 1: to me, I would hope these judges would move on
Speaker 1: and deal with more current cases because justice was done
Speaker 1: with Edward Jones and done with Wiganstall. But nonetheless, so
Speaker 1: many commercials I'm seeing you run against against Connie Pillage,
Speaker 1: and Connie Pillach has never tried. Just go over the
Speaker 1: list of two or three things your opponent has not
Speaker 1: done as opposed to you, that's been there for thirty
Speaker 1: five years as a judge, as a prosecutor, and more.
Speaker 1: And now you're the Hamlet County selected prosecutor soon to
Speaker 1: be elected. Why is she uniquely unqualified to take over
Speaker 1: this office that you that you now hold.
Speaker 2: Well, she never prosecuted a case, She's never tried a
Speaker 2: jury a murder case. She's never tried a case or
Speaker 2: handled a case in juvenile court. She's has not practiced
Speaker 2: and hasn't been in the courtroom on a criminal case
Speaker 2: since two thousand and five. And even in two thousand
Speaker 2: and five, she only had sixteen criminal cases that she handled.
Speaker 2: Compared to my thousands and thousands of cases, I think
Speaker 2: by a lot of again, it wasn't all by computer
Speaker 2: back then. But what I can gather, I have one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand cases I either personally tried or
Speaker 2: I presided over. And you know, the other thing about
Speaker 2: her is that she let her law license lapse and
Speaker 2: she reinstated it in order to run for this office
Speaker 2: two years ago, and then still didn't pick up the
Speaker 2: case to say, yeah, I'm committed to doing the work
Speaker 2: that needs to be done. So just think if you
Speaker 2: had to, if you have a family member or yourself
Speaker 2: you were a victim of a crime, would you want
Speaker 2: somebody like that trying your case or be responsible for
Speaker 2: your case? Or if you look at it this way
Speaker 2: from a medical point of view, you needed surgery, would
Speaker 2: you go to a surgeon that hasn't performed surgery in
Speaker 2: over twenty years, or that hasn't hasn't read a medical journal.
Speaker 2: I mean, I doubt she's even read any case law.
Speaker 2: And case law, I mean is constantly changing. I've been
Speaker 2: reading case law it's almost every day of my entire career.
Speaker 2: But if not every day, I mean it's it's several
Speaker 2: times a week, you know, as it's being updated. Because
Speaker 2: the law is constantly changing. I just don't know how
Speaker 2: she even thinks that she can even do this job.
Speaker 2: I hear her talk about, well, it's just a leadership position. Well, no,
Speaker 2: it's more than that. You know. I'm consulted along with
Speaker 2: my prosecuters on how charges in working with law enforcement,
Speaker 2: you know, you're you're advising them, is there enough evidence
Speaker 2: on a case of even bring charges? You know, so
Speaker 2: things like that that just really to me raises a
Speaker 2: lot of red flags as to what will happen if
Speaker 2: she's in charge. And then the other problem that we
Speaker 2: have is that she's beholden to the soft on crime.
Speaker 2: You know, she'll be basically a rubber stamp for that
Speaker 2: radical agenda. I could see, you know, she's being supported
Speaker 2: by those the radicals out of New York that want
Speaker 2: to defund the police, not prosecute categories of crimes, decriminalizing offenses,
Speaker 2: ending our cash bond system. That's what keeps us safe.
Speaker 2: And I think in the end, if we have someone
Speaker 2: like that in charge, our entire community will suffer. We
Speaker 2: have made so much progress in our beautiful city, in
Speaker 2: our county that to backside because we don't have safety
Speaker 2: that people that crime is too high that we need.
Speaker 2: You know, people aren't going to invest here, people won't
Speaker 2: move here, Everyone's going to be leaving, and so we'll
Speaker 2: be a shell of a city. And I just think
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Hamilton County were a special place. I grew up here,
Speaker 2: and I'm fighting every single day so that all of
Speaker 2: us are safe. And I'm fighting to serve every person.
Speaker 2: I don't care where you live or who you are.
Speaker 2: I'm fighting for your safety and fighting to be a
Speaker 2: voice for victims of crime. You brought up the Woganstall
Speaker 2: family or the victims you know of the of the
Speaker 2: wogan Stall case. When is when thirty twenty years later,
Speaker 2: they still don't have finality. I mean, we're fighting to
Speaker 2: have that conviction to be final so that that family
Speaker 2: has justice. It's so important that families have justice and
Speaker 2: accountability when someone does something as heinous as a her
Speaker 2: case or hurts a child. We want that. And I'm
Speaker 2: afraid that my opponent, if she gets in here, it
Speaker 2: won't be the same. It'll ruin our city and will
Speaker 2: be just like any other these cities with those policies
Speaker 2: that have been failed all around the around the country.
Speaker 2: And I'm also concerned because I am the last Republican
Speaker 2: in the as far as within the county, and then
Speaker 2: we'll end up with one party rule. And if we
Speaker 2: have one party rule, the corruption that comes along with it.
Speaker 2: Nobody everything, nothing will be transparent to the community. Everything
Speaker 2: will be good, and no one will be shedding a
Speaker 2: light on when something is going wrong. I'm constantly voicing
Speaker 2: when at the courthouse. They want to keep these things quiet,
Speaker 2: and they only want to speak when it's on their
Speaker 2: there on their terms and in their agenda. But I
Speaker 2: speak out to make sure that the public, the voters
Speaker 2: know who's keeping us safe and who is not. Uh
Speaker 2: And I think the people have a right to know that.
Speaker 1: And Melissa Powers, the office is not Democrat or Republican.
Speaker 1: You don't prosecute Republicans or Democrats or victims based upon
Speaker 1: political affiliation. It is a nonpartisan office in which the
Speaker 1: person in charge has got to enforce the law as
Speaker 1: it is written, not as someone might want it to be.
Speaker 1: And so for those suburbanites who live in Blue Ash
Speaker 1: and Green Township and Anderson Township, do you want someone
Speaker 1: who's been there for thirty to thirty five years prosecuting
Speaker 1: criminals or break in your home? Break in your car,
Speaker 1: steal money from your bank account, God forbid, rape or kill.
Speaker 1: You want someone that knows what they're doing. And when
Speaker 1: Connie Pillage has not had a law license for some
Speaker 1: twenty years and has never prosecuted a case, and I
Speaker 1: speak to elements in the black community, leadership in the
Speaker 1: black community, and they don't like Connie Pillage, because the
Speaker 1: black leadership of this town is telling me when we're hurt,
Speaker 1: when this's is shooting at Walton Hills High School or
Speaker 1: there's some shooting in the West End, we know with
Speaker 1: CPD and with Melissa Powers, we have someone who actually
Speaker 1: is competent that will prosecute the criminals to the fullest
Speaker 1: extent of the law. And that's what everybody wants when
Speaker 1: they're personally assaulted. And for this county to turn its
Speaker 1: back on law enforcement, turn it's back on prosecution. And
Speaker 1: when the office flips over, if it does the county Pillage,
Speaker 1: you have one hundred and fifty employees that have been
Speaker 1: built up over the years, career prosecutors ready to get
Speaker 1: to work for the victims of crime. And she is
Speaker 1: likely to fire everybody and bring in social activists at
Speaker 1: have a different viewpoint on that. Really, I kind of
Speaker 1: see this as a I kind of see this as
Speaker 1: the breaking point in Hamletin County and the city of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: and I just hope the suburbanites, especially in those who
Speaker 1: live in the city, understand what's at stake in this election.
Speaker 1: Melissa Powers once again, thank you for coming on the
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham Show, and good luck in your race, because
Speaker 1: your race is our race, and your failure will be
Speaker 1: the failure of citizens of Hamlin and County should it
Speaker 1: take place, and I do not believe it will. When
Speaker 1: I speak to Alex t and others, I know you're
Speaker 1: up in the polling, but that doesn't make a damn
Speaker 1: bit of difference. What's required is for the people to
Speaker 1: actually vote to keep law enforcement functioning in this county.
Speaker 1: And Melissa Powers, once again, thank you for coming on
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. Good luck to you.
Speaker 2: Thanks Bo, have a great day.
Speaker 1: God bless you.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more and if Connie Pillage were like
Speaker 1: equal time, she's more than willing to come in and
Speaker 1: answer my questions. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: I hit the music. Dave Keaton getting ready for another
Speaker 1: afternoon of greatness. You and I together is one marching.
Speaker 1: Coming up after one o'clock today will be Grover nor
Speaker 1: Quist Americans for Tax Reform. He compares and contrasts the
Speaker 1: plans of each of the major candidates. When it comes
Speaker 1: to taxes, nothing's more certain than taxes and death. And
Speaker 1: the plans of the Democrats are significantly different than the
Speaker 1: plans for the Republicans. The Republicans want to lower taxes
Speaker 1: to grow the economy, resulting in more revenue to the treasury.
Speaker 1: The Democrats want to increase taxes, which stops economic activity,
Speaker 1: which means less so you get punished and there's less
Speaker 1: money to spend anyway. But until then, I had the
Speaker 1: pleasure last night of going to get together at the
Speaker 1: Phelps on Fourth Street to talk about brad Winstrop, who's
Speaker 1: leaving Congress after ten years, and also I spent some
Speaker 1: time again with Orlando Sanza. First of all, brad Winstrop
Speaker 1: is a great American. I used that term loosely, but
Speaker 1: when it comes to him, it's so accurate. In nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety eight, as a medical doctor, he decided to join
Speaker 1: the US Army and began as a low officer in
Speaker 1: the providing medical care. Then when nine to eleven broke out,
Speaker 1: he found himself in Iraq at Abu Grab caring for
Speaker 1: patients of one type or another, including those terrorists who
Speaker 1: were wounded by Americans. It's part of our policy to
Speaker 1: nurse the terrorists back to good health, which I may
Speaker 1: have a concern with, but the US Army says to
Speaker 1: do it. So doctor brad Winstrop volunteered, served in war,
Speaker 1: came back and regan his law, and began his medical
Speaker 1: practice again. And then he saw an opportunity to serve
Speaker 1: in the United States Congress, and he did that for
Speaker 1: ten years. And he said, right now, I have my
Speaker 1: beautiful wife, and we have two kids that are seven
Speaker 1: and ten years old, and I miss everything about them.
Speaker 1: I'm in Washington, I'm traveling. He's one of the leaders
Speaker 1: in the Congress because when he showed up, everyone quickly
Speaker 1: realized that brad winstrip was a warkhorse and not a
Speaker 1: show horse. So he shows up and he gets on
Speaker 1: this committee, gets on that committee, the Key Committee. He's
Speaker 1: on his House Ways and Means, which is taxing, and
Speaker 1: on the Intelligence Committee, which has all this secret stuff.
Speaker 1: And he was disgusted by the conduct of many Democrats
Speaker 1: after secret briefings about whether it's COVID or about Iraq
Speaker 1: or other problems, that they quickly run out and talk
Speaker 1: about everything that was going on, which they shouldn't have done,
Speaker 1: and no one was held to account for that at all.
Speaker 1: But I made the reference to the fact that bred
Speaker 1: Winstrip is the best among us. He put his life
Speaker 1: at risk, he forestalled any economic gain of being a
Speaker 1: a dietrist by going into the military, and then when
Speaker 1: nine to eleven happened, he was deployed, and he did
Speaker 1: it without acrimony. He did it because he loved the country,
Speaker 1: and they spent quite a bit of time there and
Speaker 1: came back and continued in the reserves. He retired about
Speaker 1: a year ago from the military twenty five years, quarter
Speaker 1: of a century in the military. Retired as a full
Speaker 1: bird colonel in the military and with ten years of service.
Speaker 1: And he said, the best thing I'm going to do
Speaker 1: in the future is coach my daughter's fifth grade girls
Speaker 1: basketball team at Saint Gertrude's. And so at some point
Speaker 1: he went into the military for the right reasons, and
Speaker 1: he left the Congress for the right reasons. No one
Speaker 1: chased him out. He could have stayed in Congress in
Speaker 1: the second Congressional District as long as he wanted to,
Speaker 1: but his family called it. And I know what it
Speaker 1: must be like for a young father to have a
Speaker 1: couple kids that Daddy, where you going Monday morning? He'd
Speaker 1: fly off to Washington, come back Friday, and then maybe
Speaker 1: spend the weekend in Utah, and then spend the weekend
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin and go back to Florida. And he said,
Speaker 1: at some point, I have to take care of take
Speaker 1: care of my family. So he went to the military
Speaker 1: for the right reasons, which is because he loved it.
Speaker 1: He went into the Congress for the right reasons to serve.
Speaker 1: He served his ten years as a soldier patriot, and
Speaker 1: then after ten years he said, I have to spend
Speaker 1: more time with my wife and family. He went into
Speaker 1: Congress for the right reasons, and he left for the
Speaker 1: right reasons. And it's sad that he has to do that,
Speaker 1: But as a husband and a father, I get it.
Speaker 1: Number one in your life's got to be God. Number
Speaker 1: two has got to be country and righte with it
Speaker 1: his family, and he served all so well. And he
Speaker 1: made the rather interesting comment that I've heard a voice
Speaker 1: by many others. You don't see too many individuals flying
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris flags next to the American flag. When you
Speaker 1: see a Kamala Harris is normally somebody protesting about something,
Speaker 1: normally abortion or transgender rights, whatever it might be. You'll
Speaker 1: see a lot of flags in the red areas of
Speaker 1: the world, not too many flags in the blue areas,
Speaker 1: because many Democrats have an ill feeling about our country
Speaker 1: and its place in the world. But I want to
Speaker 1: just remark that brad winstrip is leaving office in about
Speaker 1: three or four months. I'm sure we'll have a capable replacement.
Speaker 1: Haven't met him yet, but we'll see what happens. But
Speaker 1: it's just wonderful to be with a guy that sacrificed
Speaker 1: life and limb to serve the country, and then, instead
Speaker 1: of taking the big riches of a pediatrist and a
Speaker 1: medical doctor, decided to go into the Congress where you
Speaker 1: make one hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year and
Speaker 1: I have to have two homes, and you're trying to
Speaker 1: raise a relatively young family seven and ten year old girls.
Speaker 1: And what do you do, Daddy? Why can't you be
Speaker 1: at my soccer game? Daddy can you come with me
Speaker 1: and watch me do something in the art world. I
Speaker 1: can't do that. I got to be in Washington. And
Speaker 1: so it's sad people like that are kind of told
Speaker 1: by the circumstances that you got to go because faith
Speaker 1: and family to presidents over the service in the Congress.
Speaker 1: But I want to tip the counts cap to brad
Speaker 1: Winstrop at what he's done. And I was sure his replacement.
Speaker 1: I'll get him on at some point. But those are
Speaker 1: some huge shoes to fill. But congratulations to brad Winstrop
Speaker 1: on a life well led. Secondly, I met again Orlando
Speaker 1: Sanza and the name is almost unforgettable. Orlando Sanza family
Speaker 1: are Filipino refugees who came here and Orlando Sanza got
Speaker 1: to work. He went to West Point, graduated sir four
Speaker 1: years in the military, attaining the rank of captain from
Speaker 1: West Point, and still is in the military. And he's
Speaker 1: running for political office, almost walking in the shoes of
Speaker 1: Colonel brad Winstrop, and he's running against Greg Lansman. And
Speaker 1: break it down this way. Greg Lansman is a creature
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati City Council. He's a liberal Democrat who voted
Speaker 1: repeatedly with Nancy Pelosi over ninety nine percent of the time.
Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of the time Greg Lansman voted with
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. One of his campaign issues was and his
Speaker 1: about congressmen showing their stock trades, whatever that might be,
Speaker 1: so people are informed about who's making money. Well, he
Speaker 1: himself was discovered did not inform the public that he
Speaker 1: had a stock trade he made lots of money from
Speaker 1: for nine months, So we now know why he wanted
Speaker 1: to inoculate himself against charges that he profited at the
Speaker 1: public trough when it comes to insider information. But Greg
Speaker 1: Lansman did that much like Nancy Pelosi, who's made hundreds
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars and it's a better trading record
Speaker 1: than Warren Buffett. And Democrats and Republicans have insider information
Speaker 1: that many use for personal benefit, and one of them
Speaker 1: is Greg Lansman. So just breaking it down, if you
Speaker 1: think city council is well run, he's a creature of
Speaker 1: city council. He's a liberal Democrat who thinks abortion as
Speaker 1: a sacrament. He believes there should be no restriction on abortion,
Speaker 1: which means in the sixth or seventh or eighth month
Speaker 1: unborn babies can be killed because the mother is having
Speaker 1: one of those moments. And that also believes in all
Speaker 1: the transgender rights movement. He's Nancy Pelosi's So if you
Speaker 1: believe Nancy Pelosi is good for the country and her philosophy,
Speaker 1: if you think city council in the city is well run,
Speaker 1: Greg Lansman's a creature thereof then vote for Greg Lansman
Speaker 1: if you want to go in a new and a
Speaker 1: better course with an army captain from West Point. Got
Speaker 1: a great family. He's got three or four kids. They're
Speaker 1: darling and his wife is also a graduate of West Point.
Speaker 1: How about that? And he's running for the first congressional
Speaker 1: seat and we'll see what happens there. But that's the
Speaker 1: way it is. Secondly, in the news, it's again about
Speaker 1: Rudolph Giuliani and his assets are being seized. He has
Speaker 1: some huge judgment, a defamation judgment. I didn't hear the
Speaker 1: real number. It's one or two hundred million dollar dollars
Speaker 1: against two campaign workers and honestly, Rudolph Giuliani said things
Speaker 1: about them that were not true. So the issue becomes, Okay,
Speaker 1: how much have you been punished? How much have you
Speaker 1: been hurt by illegal words said about you by Rudolph Giuliani.
Speaker 1: If somebody has said, well, my character is worth a
Speaker 1: half a million or a milliona or maybe five million dollars, okay,
Speaker 1: But the judgment against them was north of one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars for a defamation of someone's character. And it
Speaker 1: brought to mind the number of people who have been
Speaker 1: who have been for years and years and years thinking
Speaker 1: about entering public service. Normally, when one administration leaves, another
Speaker 1: one comes in, it's a new slate. God knows that
Speaker 1: when Bush forty three, Bush forty three took over from
Speaker 1: the Clintons, there were hundreds or thousands of crimes committed
Speaker 1: by a dozen of people and the Clinton administration repeatedly,
Speaker 1: including Bill Clinton lying under oath to a federal judge twice,
Speaker 1: including all the conspiracies involving the women, and including using
Speaker 1: government offices in order to stash girlfriends and no show
Speaker 1: big jobs. Bill Clinton did that repeatedly. And there was
Speaker 1: a quick little question to the Bush forty three if
Speaker 1: you thought about impaneling a grand jury and going after
Speaker 1: all the sins and crimes of the Clinton administration for
Speaker 1: those eight years and he said, look, it's a new slate.
Speaker 1: We got to move on, and he let it all go.
Speaker 1: When Donald Trump took over in twenty seventeen, it was
Speaker 1: obvious that Obama and Biden and dozens of others by
Speaker 1: the standard of the Democrat Party, committed numerous felonies in
Speaker 1: office for various things that the executive did, the Vice
Speaker 1: president did, cabinet officers did, about lying, not telling the truth,
Speaker 1: secreting evidence, and what Trump said at that point, you
Speaker 1: know what, it's time to move on. It's a new
Speaker 1: day or not. It was almost an unwritten rule that
Speaker 1: when one administration came in that you would not go
Speaker 1: the other direction and go back in time and indict
Speaker 1: and put under oath and find perjury charges against the
Speaker 1: previous administration, because, let's face it, that's not the way
Speaker 1: things work in this country. Everyone, my god. When Nixon
Speaker 1: took over from LBJ, could Nixon administration and then paneled
Speaker 1: grand juries in various cities and put people into the
Speaker 1: hot white lamps under oath about the Vietnam War and
Speaker 1: who said what to who? Absolutely, and LBJ and all
Speaker 1: those around him would have gone to prison. But Democrats
Speaker 1: and Republicans said, you know what we can't do that.
Speaker 1: Something changed in twenty twenty and that is there was
Speaker 1: a fear that Donald Trump would come back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four and seize the presidency again. And so what
Speaker 1: happened with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and others. They
Speaker 1: developed a campaign to go after Donald Trump and all
Speaker 1: of his alcoholites, to pin them down, to bankrupt them all,
Speaker 1: and to make sure that Donald Trump would be so
Speaker 1: smeared he couldn't be a candidate in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: If the Trumpster had said, I'm done with politics, I'm
Speaker 1: going back tomorrow Lago. I got a great life and
Speaker 1: great businesses. I have great kids and grandkids. I want
Speaker 1: to live my private life. Well, none of this crap
Speaker 1: would have happened. But the Democrats in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: In New York City, and in Atlanta and came out
Speaker 1: a week ago that Nathan Wade, the lover of Fanny
Speaker 1: Willis in Atlanta, coordinated indictments against various elements of the
Speaker 1: Trump administration through the Office of Counsel in the White House.
Speaker 1: Listen up, Nathan Wade, the boyfriend of Fanny Willis, met
Speaker 1: repeatedly with White House counsel the conjure up ways of
Speaker 1: indicting Donald Trump and other accolades those around Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Some fourteen other people along with New York City New
Speaker 1: York City Prosecutor concocted this scheme to tie down Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and those around him through the number three in
Speaker 1: command of the US Department of Justice, who goes to
Speaker 1: New York City to coordinate the indictments, the indictments of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his friends and family. I have a
Speaker 1: brief list. This has never happened before in American politics,
Speaker 1: but the Democrats have done it, and now they're saying, well,
Speaker 1: donald Trump wants to weaponize the Department of Justice against
Speaker 1: his political enemies. That's exactly what the Democrats have done
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. So whatever the Democrats do, they blame
Speaker 1: the Republicans for engaging in their behavior. Just a brief list.
Speaker 1: First of all, Donald Trump himself indict it in four
Speaker 1: different markets, all controlled by the Democrats, something in the
Speaker 1: range of sixty four counts carrying four hundred years in jail.
Speaker 1: They want to lock up Donald Trump himself. By the way,
Speaker 1: as Joe Biden said yesterday, yes we should lock up
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. That's sitting president of the United States. In
Speaker 1: addition to that, the list includes Steve Bannon, Trump's White
Speaker 1: House chief strategists four months in jail for not testifying
Speaker 1: in Congress. Roger Stone got three and a half years
Speaker 1: in prison for allegedly obstructing a witness and part of
Speaker 1: a Democratic investigation. Paul Maniford sentenced to four years in prison,
Speaker 1: Elliot Brudy Trump's inaugural fundraising ad for lobbying wrongfully. George Papadopolis,
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn, Rick Gates, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Cohen, Alan Weiselberg,
Speaker 1: Peter Navarro, Richard Spencer, Mike Lindell, Enrique Terrio, Stuart Rhodes.
Speaker 1: January sixth insurrectionists. Most should not have been charged. Some
Speaker 1: should have, of course, Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Cheesebro,
Speaker 1: Gina Ellis, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, Christina bob On, and
Speaker 1: on and on. There's there's another whole page I won't
Speaker 1: get to. So the Democratic Party in Washington, in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: New York City decided, let's stop the next Trump administration
Speaker 1: by indicting bankrupting everyone around Donald Trump, so nobody to
Speaker 1: go to work for him. And let's go after the
Speaker 1: head of the party itself, which is Donald Trump, indicting him,
Speaker 1: and all those indictments are now falling apart. That is,
Speaker 1: that is lawfare of the worst order. It's time to
Speaker 1: turn the page. And I hope Donald Trump, when he
Speaker 1: gets into power, which he will again, I'm confident he's
Speaker 1: going to win, will not do to the Democrats what
Speaker 1: the Democrats have done to him. I hope that's not
Speaker 1: the case, because, let's face it, once the page is turned,
Speaker 1: it's time to move on. But the Democrats don't see
Speaker 1: it that way. They're serious about bankrupting everyone around Donald
Speaker 1: Trump by forcing them to pay millions of dollars in
Speaker 1: legal fees. And that's if they win. That's never happened before.
Speaker 1: And let's hope Donald Trump does not let it happen again.
Speaker 1: Let's continue. We never stop. We simply continue. And if
Speaker 1: you're a liberal Democrat, you think City Council is a
Speaker 1: great place to be. I think it's well run, that
Speaker 1: Greg Lansman is your candidate. If you think a West
Speaker 1: Point graduate who served in the military who's a conservative
Speaker 1: Republican like Orlando Sanza makes more sense than vote for Sanza. Fortunately,
Speaker 1: for Orlando. He has the entire county of Warren in
Speaker 1: the first congressional district and also is Green Township. But
Speaker 1: Greg Lansman, this is a plus five Democratic district. That
Speaker 1: means the Democrat is supposed to win. But I hope,
Speaker 1: we'll hope the voters look at Orlando Sanza's record, I
Speaker 1: look at Greg Lansman record and say, you know what,
Speaker 1: one represents my values and the other does not, and
Speaker 1: move on. Let's continue. Grover nor Quest for years has
Speaker 1: had a group named Americans for Tax Reform. After the
Speaker 1: News he's going to break down for you what the
Speaker 1: Democrats want to do with your taxes and what the
Speaker 1: Republicans want to do and which is a better approach.
Speaker 1: Plus later on after two o'clock is Genie Schmidt, who
Speaker 1: is going to break down constitutional issue number one. And
Speaker 1: also later on is Jeff Birding, the CEO of your
Speaker 1: FC Cincinnati and more. Twelve fifty six Home, Your Reds
Speaker 1: and the Bengals News Radio, seven hundred Wow. Bill Cunningham,
Speaker 1: the Great American. Of course, Grover Norquist has been there
Speaker 1: for decades about tax reform. Heads up. The Group of
Speaker 1: Americans for Tax Reform have the website up now there's
Speaker 1: about policy, areas, commentary, and more. Donate and Grover Norquist,
Speaker 1: welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, Grover,
Speaker 1: tell the American people what the recent Gallup polls indicated
Speaker 1: about the tax policies of both Kamala Harris and also
Speaker 1: Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: Well, if you are an establishment media personality, this may
Speaker 4: shock you.
Speaker 5: The rest of us probably not.
Speaker 4: Gallup asked Americans are you overtaxed, under taxed, or just right?
Speaker 4: And the fifty six percent of Americans said they're overtaxed,
Speaker 4: four fou are four percent not? Fourty four percent, one
Speaker 4: two three four said they're undertaxed, thirty six percent about right.
Speaker 4: And this is an independence are sixty percent? Independents are
Speaker 4: more likely to feel over taxed than other people, And
Speaker 4: of course that's who this campaign is all about for
Speaker 4: the last seple weeks. So it is very interesting because
Speaker 4: on an issue that is completely black and white, you know,
Speaker 4: you know, clear where the American people are, the two
Speaker 4: parties and the two candidates are going in completely different directions.
Speaker 4: They are not, you know, on some issues that are popular.
Speaker 4: Both candidates for the House of the Senate, the President
Speaker 4: will tell you they think the same thing, even if
Speaker 4: it's not entirely true. But here Kamala Harris has said
Speaker 4: a lot more taxes and she has listed them. And
Speaker 4: Trump has said I want only lower taxes, and he's
Speaker 4: listed those.
Speaker 1: So you would think based upon that alone, when four
Speaker 1: percent of the American people claim I want to pay
Speaker 1: more taxes, of course they can do that anyway by
Speaker 1: simply donating money to the irs. The great majority don't
Speaker 1: want it. One of the classic comments I think you
Speaker 1: pointed it out to me a few years back, is
Speaker 1: that when Barack, when Barack Hussein Obama was asked whether
Speaker 1: or not the increase in taxes may produce less revenue
Speaker 1: because it stills and chills economic activity, he said, that's okay.
Speaker 1: It's almost like a punishment that if someone succeeds, we
Speaker 1: want to punish them. So even though a lower tax
Speaker 1: rate produces more revenue, Democrats don't like that anyway, correct.
Speaker 2: Can you?
Speaker 4: That was specifically on the capital gays tax, which is
Speaker 4: tax that is very sensitive to a capital games income.
Speaker 4: It's very sensitive detaxes because you don't have to invest
Speaker 4: it and get capital gains. You can buy a car, Okay,
Speaker 4: you can go on a vacation, you can do all
Speaker 4: sorts of things with that money, and nobody taxes you.
Speaker 4: But if you invest it and you help create jobs
Speaker 4: and it makes more money, then you get punished for them. Okay,
Speaker 4: so a high capital gain tax people buy stuff.
Speaker 5: They don't invest. And when England was and.
Speaker 4: It's worst off, all of these roles voices.
Speaker 5: Were around you.
Speaker 3: So oh must be really rich.
Speaker 4: Noose, That's what successful people do with their money. When
Speaker 4: they have no faith in the future.
Speaker 5: They buy a fancy car.
Speaker 4: They don't put this in the ATMT or uber or
Speaker 4: some other company to invest that. They try and make
Speaker 4: more money for their kids or for the future. So, yes,
Speaker 4: the capital gains tax when it was pointed out to them,
Speaker 4: the history shows cut the capital game tax, government gets
Speaker 4: more money. Yes, but that's wrong. I'd rather have higher taxes,
Speaker 4: have people who invest be punished than for everybody in
Speaker 4: the room to be better off.
Speaker 1: I kind of want America to listen to that. That
Speaker 1: The Democrats believe that if you raise the capital gains rate,
Speaker 1: it produces less revenue to the government and therefore there's
Speaker 1: greater deficits. That's a good thing because you punish achievers,
Speaker 1: even if it produces more money. That that's a bad
Speaker 1: thing to me. It is flabbergasting that people can't figure
Speaker 1: that out. Talk about Kamala Harris, she has locked in
Speaker 1: her head the number four hundred thousand dollars. And Biden
Speaker 1: says this, of course again, which is a lie, that
Speaker 1: no one's going to be taxed. If you make four
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars or less, you're not going to have
Speaker 1: your taxes go up at all, go up. If you
Speaker 1: make less, your taxes are going to go down or
Speaker 1: not go up whatsoever. Why is that wrong? Why does
Speaker 1: that make no sense? Grover Norquiest.
Speaker 4: It is the law that Clinton told he had a number,
Speaker 4: I'll never tax anyone who makes less than one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty or two hundred thousand dollars. Then Biden had
Speaker 4: the same numbers. I won't touch anyone can make us
Speaker 4: in two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Now it's four hundred
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. Why do they say that because Americans don't
Speaker 4: want higher taxes, and they want to promise them that, oh,
Speaker 4: I don't mean you, just these other people. But in
Speaker 4: point in fact, the first tax that Obama put On
Speaker 4: was on cigarette smokers average income thirty five thousand dollars
Speaker 4: a year. He wanted the money. He doesn't care whether
Speaker 4: you're addicted to something. He wants that's four people. He
Speaker 4: wants to cash. He wants to tax energy, and so
Speaker 4: they say that. Of course, one of the things Biden did.
Speaker 4: He said four hundred thousand dollars. Kamala Harris says four
Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars. But since those two have been in office,
Speaker 4: that four hundred thousand, because of inflation, is only really
Speaker 4: worth three hundred and thirty thousand in.
Speaker 5: Real American dollars.
Speaker 4: So more and more people are hit by them assuming
Speaker 4: but of course that's not accurate. They've raised taxes on
Speaker 4: they want to raise taxes on corporations. Well, where do
Speaker 4: corporations get their money? They raise prices on all consumers,
Speaker 4: that's everybody, And they lower wages. The biggest thing that
Speaker 4: happens with the corporate income taxes. Wages are lowered for
Speaker 4: everyone because where else is the government get where else
Speaker 4: does the company get the money? Prompt it's a seventy
Speaker 4: percent of everything they do is wages. So if you're
Speaker 4: going to tell you you're missing a million dollars. Seventy
Speaker 4: percent of that's coming from wages, so that tax directly
Speaker 4: hits middle income people. Here's what Kamala Harris wants to do.
Speaker 4: She wants to get rid of all the Trump tax cuts. Okay,
Speaker 4: we'd raise everyone's income tax rate everyone. She wants to
Speaker 4: take the corporate rate up thirty three percent, higher than China, Okay,
Speaker 4: higher than everybody in Europe, and then she wants to
Speaker 4: take the personal income tax for everybody higher. She wants
Speaker 4: to take the Capitol Games tax up to two point
Speaker 4: thirty three percent, which is higher than China is, of course,
Speaker 4: almost twice as high as China's talking about competitors and
Speaker 4: Mick shooting ourselves in the foot when we do this,
Speaker 4: But that's the capital Games tax, as high as it
Speaker 4: was under Jimmy Carter when everything went to hades, and
Speaker 4: even the Democrats agreed to pull that down. She wants
Speaker 4: to impose a second death tax in order to catch
Speaker 4: all the inflation during your lifetime. But I don't know
Speaker 4: why they figured on that one, but that makes some
Speaker 4: sense given how they've operated a carbon tax, of course,
Speaker 4: raising the price of energy gasoline, many ulti.
Speaker 5: Different energy taxes that just hit everybody.
Speaker 4: She wants to give the Europeans the de tough power
Speaker 4: over our tax cuts. Let we say it again. She
Speaker 4: wants to let Paris and Moscow and Pete King decide
Speaker 4: when we can cut taxes because he wants to have
Speaker 4: a like an opak. The Europeans said, why don't we
Speaker 4: all get together and agreed not to cut taxes too
Speaker 4: much because Trump was making taxes so low and money
Speaker 4: was you know, billions of dollars float into the United
Speaker 4: States as a result of that. Ed will again Trump,
Speaker 4: lets take the twenty one percent corporate down to fifteen.
Speaker 4: That will bring even more money into invest in the
Speaker 4: United States. And Europe doesn't want that at all. So
Speaker 4: they want to have a deal where we all agree
Speaker 4: not to compete by making our.
Speaker 5: Citizens better off.
Speaker 4: And Biden and Kamala Harris are for that. President Trump
Speaker 4: is obviously against it, and Kamala and Biden completely four
Speaker 4: dramatically increasing the number of IRS agents who want to
Speaker 4: go and bother you all day.
Speaker 1: So really, the socialists, whether they're in Europe or China,
Speaker 1: they want to make sure that America is not the
Speaker 1: dominant country in the world. So if Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: elected and takes the capital gains rate from twenty one
Speaker 1: to fifteen percent. It means more money available to the
Speaker 1: US government the form of taxes. More activity means more
Speaker 1: taxes are paid. But it hurts the socialistic countries well
Speaker 1: down the tubes. And therefore you're going to have Paris
Speaker 1: in Beijing controlling our tax code. That's not well covered
Speaker 1: in the media. Plus, I watched I watched one of
Speaker 1: the morning shows. Mark Cuban was there talking about unrealized
Speaker 1: capital gains and he made the point, well, that'll never happen.
Speaker 1: Then why does Kamal Ayers talk about taxing unrealized gains?
Speaker 1: Can you explain to the American people how that relates
Speaker 1: to them personally? Because everything that moves or regulates or
Speaker 1: is existing in existence that Democrats want to increase taxes,
Speaker 1: what does it mean to tax unrealized capital gains? Break
Speaker 1: it down, Grover nor Quist for the American people.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, an unrealized capital gain is what we would call
Speaker 4: in the real world, not a capital game.
Speaker 3: So you have a farm and.
Speaker 4: Because of inflation, because you work it hard, the farm
Speaker 4: is now worth more. You haven't sold it because you're
Speaker 4: running a farm, But the government says, well, your farm
Speaker 4: used to be worth this, Now it's worth more. That
Speaker 4: increase income.
Speaker 5: Well, it's not inime.
Speaker 4: I don't have the money. I'm not going to sell
Speaker 4: my farm. It would be income if I sold the farm,
Speaker 4: but I'm not selling the farm. And done, you have
Speaker 4: to pay taxes as if you've sold it. Now, what
Speaker 4: happens when the price goes down if there's a recession,
Speaker 4: I don't know, that's a very good question. But when
Speaker 4: the value of your home goes up, you would pay
Speaker 4: income taxes on that. As if your house is now.
Speaker 5: Worth twenty thousand dollars more than.
Speaker 4: It used to, we're going to tax you as if
Speaker 4: you just earned twenty thousand dollars. It's unrecognized, unrealized meaning
Speaker 4: you haven't cashed out. If you cast out, then you
Speaker 4: pay capital case. But this is something that, first of all,
Speaker 4: it's completely unconstitutional. It's not income. Constitution lists a very
Speaker 4: few things the federallymic can tax income is one of them.
Speaker 4: Unrealized income is not one of them.
Speaker 3: So this and of.
Speaker 4: Course we're we gonna do it for rich people. You know,
Speaker 4: when they put the federal in packed in the top
Speaker 4: rate was seven percent.
Speaker 5: You had to make eleven million dollars.
Speaker 4: In today's dollars before you'd hit seven.
Speaker 5: Percent tax rate.
Speaker 4: Now the bottom rates less is more than seven percent,
Speaker 4: and more than half the country's paying more than that,
Speaker 4: so they always start up high and Cook Cuban of
Speaker 4: oil just a few people, Yeah, yere one, maybe just
Speaker 4: a few people.
Speaker 5: And Cuban, what an idiot?
Speaker 1: Hey, Mark Cuban said, Look, Mark Cuban said, that's he
Speaker 1: supports Kamala Harris, the guy that owns part of the
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks. He said, that's a really bad idea. It's
Speaker 1: really stupid. So it is so stupid it'll never happen.
Speaker 1: And then Joe Kernin said of CNB, well, how do
Speaker 1: you know that? It's so stupid? She We'll talk her
Speaker 1: out of it. And then Joe went over a bunch
Speaker 1: of other taxes that was really stupid also, and Mark
Speaker 1: Cuman kept saying, well, you can't do that, you can't
Speaker 1: do that. You can't raise the corporate rate because corporations
Speaker 1: paid no taxes. They simply pass on to the concerner
Speaker 1: or the costs of the tax in the form of
Speaker 1: higher prices. So we can't do that. Can't do this,
Speaker 1: can't do that game? Well, what if she does? What
Speaker 1: if the House and the Senate go democratic, which is
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty chance of might get rid of the filibuster.
Speaker 1: They can do anything they want to do. Why wouldn't
Speaker 1: she keep her promise?
Speaker 4: And mister Cuban, how do you make that much money
Speaker 4: being that stupid? Does mister Cuban not understand that he
Speaker 4: doesn't actually have a vote on this question. No, oh,
Speaker 4: you gave her a lot of campaign contributions.
Speaker 5: That's nice.
Speaker 4: Now she has power, and the House and the senate's
Speaker 4: full of Democrats who also have power if they win both.
Speaker 4: The first thing they'll do is take the corporate rate
Speaker 4: up and wages will go down. And then they'll do
Speaker 4: capital game tax, which also scares investment away from the
Speaker 4: country and unrealized capital games. And then the financial transactions tax,
Speaker 4: which is every time money moves from one bank to another,
Speaker 4: like when you do VENMO and all this other stuff.
Speaker 4: They take just a later piece of it, but if
Speaker 4: you add it all up, it's seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: million dollars. It just disappears out of activity. That means
Speaker 4: whenever you're buying something, you use a credit card or whatever.
Speaker 4: There's a little thing. There's a little thing there. And
Speaker 4: by the way, you don't have to make fourundred thousand
Speaker 4: dollars to get nicked.
Speaker 5: But they love.
Speaker 4: It because it's so hidden, well run.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit each day.
Speaker 1: It's huge money the government needs for all their boondoggle.
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan says something in the effect that if it moves,
Speaker 1: tax it, if it keeps moving, regulated, if it stops moving,
Speaker 1: subsidize it. And so that describes where we are. And
Speaker 1: what about the death tax? What does Kamala Harris want
Speaker 1: to do with the death tax? You don't have the
Speaker 1: right to doe.
Speaker 4: Yes, well, first of all, you know there's a certain
Speaker 4: point where you can inherit money and you don't pay taxes.
Speaker 4: She wants to take that down to hit more people,
Speaker 4: and eventually that she wants to hit everybody because they
Speaker 4: don't think just because you made it that you should
Speaker 4: be will decide how to spend it. And a second
Speaker 4: death pack, which will be when you die. Usually you
Speaker 4: could hand your house or a small business or your
Speaker 4: four to one k to your children, uh and they
Speaker 4: would accept it at the value at which when you passed.
Speaker 4: But they say no, no, no, no no. They have
Speaker 4: to pay capital gains on your house, on land, on
Speaker 4: a small business, on your four one k on your pension,
Speaker 4: all your lifetime, all the inflation that took place during
Speaker 4: that okay, all the capital game that happened. That gets
Speaker 4: tasked first. Then they can have the body. Oh, by
Speaker 4: the way, and then they pay the normal death tacks.
Speaker 4: So the second death packs specifically hitting people who lived
Speaker 4: under Biden's inflation.
Speaker 5: It is really really pernicious.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess this election is extremely consequential because you
Speaker 1: can only imagine if your lower taxes, the government generates
Speaker 1: more revenue because of greater activity. If you raise taxes
Speaker 1: anticipating Americans will engage in similar conduct even though the
Speaker 1: taxes are higher, that's false. That is false. John F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy knew it. President John F. Kennedy knew it. The
Speaker 1: best way to get more revenue to the government is
Speaker 1: the lower tax rates causing more economic activity, meaning more
Speaker 1: money in. And the socialists in Europe do not want that.
Speaker 1: Grover nor Quist, thanks again, but I can't let you
Speaker 1: go without saying once again, Ronald Reagan said it if
Speaker 1: it moves, tax it, if it keeps moving regulate it
Speaker 1: if it stops moving, subsidize it. And that's the inefficiencies
Speaker 1: of government. And once again, Americans for tax reform. The
Speaker 1: website is fabulous, all the information available, we get the
Speaker 1: government we deserve. Grover nor Quist. At times that concerns me,
Speaker 1: but once again, thank you for coming on the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. Let's see what happens the fifth and Grover,
Speaker 1: you're a great American. Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Thank you, get out and both get out and both.
Speaker 1: Early and often. Thank you, Grover. Let's continue with more. So,
Speaker 1: the best way for government to exist and to get
Speaker 1: more money is to lower the tax rates, so there's
Speaker 1: more economic activity. When told that, you know, if we
Speaker 1: do that, if we if we lower the tax rate,
Speaker 1: there's more money coming into government, Democrats say, so what,
Speaker 1: that's not the point. Yes, it is the point. They
Speaker 1: simply want to punish achievers. And if you own a
Speaker 1: home and it's gone up one hundred thousand dollars in value,
Speaker 1: do you want to pay taxes on an unrealized gain.
Speaker 1: Democrats want to tax everything which hurts the American economic activity.
Speaker 1: Let's continue, Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred. Wow.
Speaker 6: Well, Biden was at the beach during the deadliest hurricane
Speaker 6: of the year. Kamala Harris was hosting fundraisers in California.

Speaker 6: Percent of life is just showing up. And Biden Harris
Speaker 6: have their own jets, so what's their excuse. They can
Speaker 6: get anyone in the world on the phone in thirty seconds,
Speaker 6: but they won't even pick it up. Trump goes to you,

Speaker 1: Beneath the Mandy boot if UC Bearcats ranked twentieth in

Speaker 5: Special Team Player of the Week was in twenty twelve,
Speaker 5: who do you think that.
Speaker 1: Was twenty twelve? I'd say Doug Pelfrey.
Speaker 5: Now Adam pac Man, Jones, the pac Man?
Speaker 1: What did he must have done something spectacular. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what it was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And how about this? The Cleveland Browns are a
Speaker 5: mess still, So head coach Deevian Fans says, I'm giving
Speaker 5: up the play calling, giving it to Ken Dorst and
Speaker 5: he's going to call the play from now on.
Speaker 1: Great, who's the quarterback?
Speaker 5: I guess they're going to They're going to go with
Speaker 5: James James Davis Whitl Winston. Yes, that's what it is.
Speaker 5: On Sunday. Twin brothers. Twin brothers are going to face
Speaker 5: each other Sunday at tay Course Stadium. Sidney Brown of
Speaker 5: the Eagles and and uh Kith Brown of the Bengals.
Speaker 1: How about that unbelievable? How about that can't be true, Andy,
Speaker 1: can't be true.
Speaker 5: Let's see what else is going Oh, the keep a
Speaker 5: diary diarny of a of a wide receiver pull off
Speaker 5: a deal today. They get wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from
Speaker 5: the Seatans for a future conditional fourth round pick. Well,
Speaker 5: that was the that was the Bengals that work a
Speaker 5: deal for Miles Garrett, and I think this team would
Speaker 5: become an instant Super Bowl winner.
Speaker 1: I don't know the last time the Bengals during the
Speaker 1: season pulled off the trade.
Speaker 5: I can't remember last traight they made it. I have
Speaker 5: no idea when that took plate.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that's uh Carson Palmers.
Speaker 5: Probably nineteen sixty seven before they became a team once.
Speaker 1: The last time the Bengals received a player like a
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins during the season received I know, you know quarterback.
Speaker 5: Though, well, the piece they are hurting because the juju churst. Uh,
Speaker 5: they're they're a cup by their their one star receiver,
Speaker 5: right Rice got hurt at the beginning of the season,
Speaker 5: and then another guy got insured a couple of weeks ago. So, uh,
Speaker 5: the Chiefs are a dire need of a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Now about Deanna Hopkins goes to bed as a Tennessee Titan,
Speaker 1: completely irrelevant, wakes up the next morning, and you got
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of our era, Patrick Mahomes thrown him
Speaker 1: pass this. I mean, DeAndre Hopkins got to feel like
Speaker 1: he's you got died and going to have them? Yeah,
Speaker 1: how about getting Miles Herrett.
Speaker 5: What about yeah, and then what about Bailey Zachy. Yesterday
Speaker 5: he goes to the Super Bowl champion Chiefs to the
Speaker 5: Cleveland Brown. You're talking going from the penhouse to the
Speaker 5: out house, unbelieved that he's now the second second quarterback
Speaker 5: in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what to say, but certainly Miles
Speaker 1: Garrett would make a lot of sense here. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if Mike Brown thinks like that.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know, but I mean, you know, give
Speaker 5: up a give us some pick for him or something.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 5: the boy if they would get him.
Speaker 1: Only got what happened. But one other thing, you know,
Speaker 1: Reverend Mingo, I've known him for years. He's a black
Speaker 1: activist in the West End, trying to help kids play
Speaker 1: football without getting shot by a coach. And he's spent
Speaker 1: in the media the last few hours talking about Mike Brown.
Speaker 1: The Bengals promised in twenty ten to build us a field.
Speaker 1: Number I'd say two things on that segment. Number One,
Speaker 1: the problem is not the field. Waldon Hills is a
Speaker 1: pretty good field. Is the behavior of a few parents
Speaker 1: that's the problem. The behavior of the parents and you
Speaker 1: can do whatever you want. And secondly, I don't think
Speaker 1: we need another football field in downtown. Taft High School
Speaker 1: is right there. Walnut Hills is close by other highs.
Speaker 1: The problem is not a facility. The problem is the
Speaker 1: behavior of the of the coaches to take guns to
Speaker 1: a nine year old football team.
Speaker 5: That's the problem, right, and the parents and everything. And
Speaker 5: now they say they're going to go to Dayton to
Speaker 5: play pee wee football of willly Is. I mean, that's
Speaker 5: that's just kids having fun and doing this and that
Speaker 5: playing And when you get something like this happening, it's
Speaker 5: just mind boggling that that takes place.
Speaker 1: How about this, It's at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: They're in the in the handshake line, and I guess
Speaker 1: one of the fathers said something inappropriate to a ten
Speaker 1: year old boy. The ten year old boy's father gets
Speaker 1: mouthy with the one. They start pushing each other and
Speaker 1: then reagans out a gun and shoots two people. And
Speaker 1: he's the coach of one of the teams in front
Speaker 1: of the players.
Speaker 3: Now you know what, I don't know why why?
Speaker 5: And I mean at this day and age, nothing surprises
Speaker 5: anyone anymore, nothing, nothing but.
Speaker 1: The solution is not to build another football field or
Speaker 1: to play in Dayton. For God's sakes, Who's going to
Speaker 1: go back and forth at Dayton to watch a ten
Speaker 1: year old. There's so many football fields in and around
Speaker 1: the West End that just conform your behavior. Don't be
Speaker 1: a clown, don't get in a fight. That he thought
Speaker 1: it was self defense. He thought the other guy had
Speaker 1: a gun. This is on the field at Wanting Hills
Speaker 1: High School, which is a great facility as through turf, etc.
Speaker 1: And Reagan, who's been a pretty good guy, pulls out
Speaker 1: a gun and shoots two people and then claim self
Speaker 1: defense on a football field with a gun. What the
Speaker 1: hell are we talking about here? Collapse?
Speaker 7: You know what?
Speaker 5: Like I said, world, nothing is nothing surprises anyone anymore.
Speaker 5: I don't think.
Speaker 1: How about this one Scott High School principal under criminal investigation,
Speaker 1: Anthony Procasino, A little birdie told me what it was.
Speaker 1: He's the principal of Scott High School and Taylor Mill.
Speaker 1: He spent about ten years as a principal at the
Speaker 1: grade school level. And it's an active investigation. Does not
Speaker 1: involve anything sexual. What it is I'm told is that
Speaker 1: the principal, Anthony Procaccino actually drank alcohol with underage girls
Speaker 1: in his home. I'm thinking, I'm thinking it's miners off
Speaker 1: school grounds. But how in the hell, How in the
Speaker 1: hell can a principal provide alcohol to underage girls in
Speaker 1: your house? How does that work?
Speaker 5: Will people lose their minds sometimes about what's right and
Speaker 5: wrong in the world. And you know, like I said,
Speaker 5: nothing is anymore in this age of liveing nothing.
Speaker 1: And if one father pulls out a gun and shoots
Speaker 1: another coach, it's time to move the games fifty miles
Speaker 1: away and to build a ten million dollar stadium, which
Speaker 1: TQL and the Lenyers just built this beautiful facility at
Speaker 1: Taffed High School. I mean, I might be wrong, but
Speaker 1: I think that's in the west End and it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful facility right there. Not well used. Then walden Hills
Speaker 1: is right there, and if you want to, you probably
Speaker 1: probably use pay Course stadium if you want. The problem
Speaker 1: is not the facility. The problem is the behavior of
Speaker 1: the parents and the coaches. That's the problem. How do
Speaker 1: you solve that with a stadium?
Speaker 5: Come on, you're preaching to the choir on that one, Willie,
Speaker 5: I had no idea.
Speaker 1: And also may I say this. The last thing to
Speaker 1: do if you want the Bengals and Mike Brown and
Speaker 1: Katie to give you a whole bunch of money is
Speaker 1: to shame them and to say, guess what you promised
Speaker 1: to do this fourteen years ago and you haven't done
Speaker 1: it yet. I don't think the think roll react well
Speaker 1: to that either. Would you agree?
Speaker 5: I would say so.
Speaker 1: Yet, we need another football field in the West, That's
Speaker 1: what we need.
Speaker 5: What you know, I don't know, Willie. Like I said, nothing,
Speaker 5: Nothing that happens in these days, in these times surprises
Speaker 5: anybody anymore.
Speaker 1: A counselor at sant X High School is having sex
Speaker 1: with Santax students. A principal at Taylor Mill is drinking
Speaker 1: alcohol providing it to underage girls at his home. What's next?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I don't know?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 1: Anything else going on? Sports? You're still you're still on
Speaker 1: the Aston Oaks pretty good track, right if you thought
Speaker 1: about getting your clubs out segment and playing a little
Speaker 1: little golf. Not about that.
Speaker 2: I might.
Speaker 5: I might go about three or four holes, will I.
Speaker 5: My handicap is about a two million right now, so
Speaker 5: I should I should I think I just handled this
Speaker 5: course with no problem.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think there's uh what wouldn't share the clubs?
Speaker 1: There any good but hopefully a lot of good times
Speaker 1: in ahead and uh. And the other thing, this coach
Speaker 1: Reagan ran away from the scene. He's the coach of
Speaker 1: one of the teams. Is if nobody knows who he is?
Speaker 1: Where is he? I don't know who did it what
Speaker 1: to do either?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you explain this?
Speaker 5: You would you would think that after everybody hears this stuff,
Speaker 5: that they wouldn't do it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: And that's like, I'm not going to do that. I'm
Speaker 5: not going to do this. I'm not going to do this.
Speaker 5: But the students are coming and they just keep doing it.
Speaker 5: I guess they figure they're going to get to get
Speaker 5: away with it.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. Well, here we are.
Speaker 1: And then my good friend, Judge Tyrone Yeats was the
Speaker 1: judge setting the bond. I think he's had a high
Speaker 1: bond in one or two hundred thousand dollars. And this
Speaker 1: this coach is going to go to jail because there's
Speaker 1: a mandatory three years for using a gun to commit
Speaker 1: a crime. So this coach who's got sons is going
Speaker 1: to go away for the next several years. And it's awful.
Speaker 1: I don't get it.
Speaker 8: I don't either.
Speaker 5: I don't either.
Speaker 1: All right, segment, we'll get me out of the students
Speaker 1: your port and we'll continue with more. We have Jeff
Speaker 1: Burden coming up in about an hour to talk about this,
Speaker 1: and then about fifteen minutes we have Genie Schmid about
Speaker 1: state issue one, breaking it down, and segment get me
Speaker 1: out of the State.
Speaker 5: The MLS playoff starts up Monday. Willie for our Orange
Speaker 5: and Blue.
Speaker 1: With your permission, I might ask him about that.
Speaker 5: I might do that, Willy, in honor of a beautiful
Speaker 5: day near the tri State. We leave you with the
Speaker 5: immortal words of the student.
Speaker 4: Right now, we're talking about border security, and there's nobody,
Speaker 4: no Democrat talking about halfway to citizenship and immigration.
Speaker 8: Belief and the benefits that migrants bring to this country.
Speaker 2: But there's no question that migrants bring.
Speaker 4: America is a country that was built in part by
Speaker 4: immigrant people.
Speaker 1: About their GPS.
Speaker 3: Third, back there, we're.
Speaker 5: Talking about mass deportations.
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about what do you stand about the potations?
Speaker 1: What's what's your stand there.
Speaker 8: We need smart, humane immigration policy in America that includes
Speaker 8: a pathway to citizenship.
Speaker 1: So segment, We're going to have about five fifteen million
Speaker 1: more Haitian citizens running around Logansport, Indiana, and Clark County,
Speaker 1: Ohio and a thousand other towns who are here here
Speaker 1: under a parole program, and it's going to be chaos,
Speaker 1: chaos and more chaos. Segment. Thank you for coming on
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunninghamstitute Report segment. Thank you very much. Really,
Speaker 1: let's continue with more on the other side. Jeanie Schmidt
Speaker 1: on News Radio seven hundred WLW, Bill Cunningham, the Great America.
Speaker 1: One of our great state representatives from Clairemont County's Jennie Schmidt,
Speaker 1: representative of Janie Schmidt. Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: And first of all, can you and a capsule explain
Speaker 1: to the American people what is State Issue one and
Speaker 1: why Americans should vote know for that? Explain that to
Speaker 1: the American people first, very.
Speaker 8: Simply put, this is a bait and switch game that
Speaker 8: the left is pulling because they don't like the fact
Speaker 8: that we are a conservative. State Issue one eliminates the
Speaker 8: anti Geri Mandarin restrictions mandated by the voters both in
Speaker 8: twenty and fifteen and two thousand and eighteen. It codifies
Speaker 8: into the state constitution the ability to gerrymander districts because
Speaker 8: you're going to have to base the districts on politics
Speaker 8: and race and not on the cohesiveness of the community.
Speaker 8: It creates a fifteen member book board that is accountable
Speaker 8: to no one. It has an unlimited paycheck, a wallet
Speaker 8: that the House will have to approve expenditures on. We
Speaker 8: don't even know what those expenditures are. And it basically
Speaker 8: will codify Jaron Mandry. And that's something that the US
Speaker 8: Supreme Court has said time and time again is illegal.
Speaker 8: Why we're doing this because the left doesn't like the
Speaker 8: fact that we are a conservative state. Vote no on
Speaker 8: it because if it's a constitutional amendment, the legislature has
Speaker 8: no power to change it. Let me repeat that, if
Speaker 8: it is a constitutional amendment, the legislature has no power
Speaker 8: to change it.
Speaker 1: So the seven members of the Apportionment Board are voted
Speaker 1: on by the American people, know those. We have elections,
Speaker 1: and then we vote for the governor, we vote for
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State, we vote for the auditor, we
Speaker 1: vote for the House and vote for the Senate. So
Speaker 1: voters actually going to the ballot box, they vot, vote,
Speaker 1: and then those persons serve on the apportionment board. If
Speaker 1: we adopt this constitutional amendment, in other words, that people
Speaker 1: vote yes. At that point the voting is done, is
Speaker 1: going to be retired. Appellate judges will get together and
Speaker 1: decide five Republicans, five Democrats, five independents. Then they set
Speaker 1: the lines and we don't vote on those. On those individuals,
Speaker 1: those fifteen people are going to be academics and others,
Speaker 1: we don't vote. So for the Democrats to say this
Speaker 1: is about democracy, it's the opposite of democracy. It says
Speaker 1: that if you like to vote for the people or
Speaker 1: govern your life, then vote no. If you think some
Speaker 1: other academic group should control your life, vote yes. And so,
Speaker 1: but the wording of the ballot as such that I've
Speaker 1: read it a couple of times. In the first sentence
Speaker 1: of what you're going to vote for it no reasonable
Speaker 1: person would vote yes if you read the first sentence.
Speaker 1: And so is it true that the present system we
Speaker 1: get to vote to decide who draws the lines. If
Speaker 1: this thing passes, the voting is finished on that issue correct.
Speaker 8: Yes, and the seven member board if they don't completely
Speaker 8: agree with it, then it goes to the state Supreme
Speaker 8: Court to decide whether the lines are valid or invalid.
Speaker 8: So you have a process that even if you have
Speaker 8: a supermajority that on the mission to draw the lines,
Speaker 8: the minority party has the right to address it at
Speaker 8: the state Supreme Court to see if those lines are
Speaker 8: correct or incorrect. If this passes, there will be no
Speaker 8: action from anyone, not from citizens, not from legislators, not
Speaker 8: from judges to challenge the decision of these fifteen people, which,
Speaker 8: by the way, are told that they cannot have any
Speaker 8: experience in the political process. They have to be totally
Speaker 8: ignorant of the process to draw the lines for something
Speaker 8: that will affect us from now until eternity.
Speaker 1: So the amendments is that if you've served in the military,
Speaker 1: you can't serve on this board. If you've been a
Speaker 1: police officer, a deputy sheriff, you can't serve on this board.
Speaker 1: If you're involved in politics in some way, you can't
Speaker 1: be on the board. So I can't imagine someone saying
Speaker 1: that a captain in the United States Army, like an
Speaker 1: Orlando Sanza who's a great American cannot serve because he's
Speaker 1: been a copper, he's been a soldier. Those people cannot serve.
Speaker 5: Correct, Correct.
Speaker 8: My sister because she's related to me.
Speaker 1: So who's left a bunch of academics unelected deciding these
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. And on this issue, lastly, Jeannie Schmidt, who's
Speaker 1: funding all these great commercials about these comic characters, talking
Speaker 1: about the people who's funding the yes vote in the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio.
Speaker 8: Mister George Soros and other outside groups. We did pass
Speaker 8: the law that would make it harder in the future,
Speaker 8: but the law didn't get passed in time for this
Speaker 8: ballot issue. They're spending almost thirty million dollars to convince
Speaker 8: people to have their rights taken away from them.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. And if voters are confused and past this thing,
Speaker 1: then all hell's going to break loose pier. It can't
Speaker 1: be declared to be unconstitutional because it's in the Constitution,
Speaker 1: and so we're stuck with this. In Michigan and other
Speaker 1: states that have done this are advising Ohioans don't vote
Speaker 1: yes on this because it's against the interests of black folks.
Speaker 1: It's against the interests of cities sticking together. This is
Speaker 1: a monstrosity, and most of the polling indicate that people
Speaker 1: are going to vote yes because they're ill informed. And
Speaker 1: just read the first sentence on the ballot and tell
Speaker 1: me that's something you're in favor of. That's a bunch
Speaker 1: of crap. Vote no now. Second issue. I'm watching all
Speaker 1: these hundreds of millions of dollars of ads with Sheren Brown,
Speaker 1: who began politics when Richard Nixon was in the White House,
Speaker 1: and Sharon Brown is claiming that he and Governor Mike
Speaker 1: DeWine are together on the transgender issue, which is a
Speaker 1: bunch of bs. Can you explain that?
Speaker 8: Well, of course I can, Billy. I have been fighting
Speaker 8: to protect biological women in sports since I gotten the
Speaker 8: state legislature, and on Senate Bill one eighty seven back
Speaker 8: in June of twenty and twenty one, the House cleverly
Speaker 8: passed to Save Women in Sports Act, and the Governor said,
Speaker 8: quote unquote, I will not sign any bills on this subject.
Speaker 8: The governor subsequently, we didn't get it passed because the
Speaker 8: Senate ripped it out. But House Bill sixty eight, which
Speaker 8: we passed in June of twenty three, we attached the
Speaker 8: Saved Women in Sports fact on it, and the governor
Speaker 8: came out and vetoed the entire legislation because the governor
Speaker 8: believed that young people under the age of eighteen should
Speaker 8: be allowed to have gender altering care and that transgender
Speaker 8: women should compete against with biological women in sports. So
Speaker 8: I'm glad that Sharon Brown said he agrees with the
Speaker 8: governor because the American people are against both. I mean,
Speaker 8: the polling is over seventy percent. So yeah, Shared, you're
Speaker 8: four women being forced to compete against transgender women. Shared,
Speaker 8: you're four allowing young kids to change their sets before
Speaker 8: they're eighteen. Glad to know where you really stand. He's gaslighting.
Speaker 8: People need to read through his rhetoric.
Speaker 1: Well, you're a great athlete Title nine. You run like crazy,
Speaker 1: You've done hundreds of marathons. And when Title nine was
Speaker 1: passed more than fifty years ago, it was a great
Speaker 1: day for women. If you're a woman type person of female,
Speaker 1: you have separate but equal facilities, but equal scholarships, separate
Speaker 1: but equal athletic contests, separate eagle whatever. And in the
Speaker 1: beginning it was kind of a little bit rough sliding
Speaker 1: but right now it's institutionalized. When I talk about christ,
Speaker 1: when I talk to Chris Collinsworth and others, they think
Speaker 1: it's a great thing that Title nine allows women to
Speaker 1: participate in high school and college. When I went to
Speaker 1: Deer Park High School, there were no female sports at all.
Speaker 1: And now at deer Park High School there's softball, there's soccer,
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of women's girls' sports. Is a good thing.
Speaker 1: And so if you're going to use some of Mikedwine,
Speaker 1: use all of Mike Dwine, which is Mike Dwine endorses
Speaker 1: Bernie Marino for the US Senate seat. But can you
Speaker 1: address yourself to the issue This thing is developing more
Speaker 1: that radical left is one to put teenage boys in
Speaker 1: the locker room and bathrooms with teenage girls and separate.
Speaker 1: But Eagle doesn't apply anymore. In fact, the LPGA just
Speaker 1: that two hundred and fifty of its members say, don't
Speaker 1: let this male golfer in because it's a college male
Speaker 1: golfer who it tends to be a female who now
Speaker 1: is going to compete on the LPGA tour because of
Speaker 1: a threatened lawsuit. How important is is Title nine to
Speaker 1: the survivability of women's sports and women have an equal
Speaker 1: access to the marketplace.
Speaker 8: It is critical because when I was in high school,
Speaker 8: Title nine had been addressed but wasn't implemented fully and
Speaker 8: there were no sports for me. I mean, I am
Speaker 8: a competitive runner, but I didn't have the opportunity to
Speaker 8: do that in high school because it wasn't even offered.
Speaker 8: They didn't even know it existed. Women need to understand
Speaker 8: that if we allow biological women to have to be
Speaker 8: forced to compete against transgender women, they're going to lose,
Speaker 8: and not only lose the ability to win the event,
Speaker 8: but lose their identity. When I look at the Olympics
Speaker 8: and you look at the boxing match, how fair was that?
Speaker 1: Brutal?
Speaker 8: You know, you cannot change the physiological differences between a
Speaker 8: man and a woman. You just can't change them. Is
Speaker 8: there a part of their anatomy cannot be changed? And
Speaker 8: men have an unfair advantage when it comes to athletics
Speaker 8: because their oxygen, the blood ratio gets into the muscles quicker.
Speaker 8: The fact that their hips don't flare out allows them
Speaker 8: to run more effectively. The fact that the that their
Speaker 8: muscle mass is larger than women allows them to swing
Speaker 8: that tennis racket more effectively. You can't change those things.
Speaker 8: And their testosterone is ten times more than a woman's
Speaker 8: and you can't dumb it down enough to make it equal.
Speaker 1: Now, lastly, on school vouchers. I'm watching Kamala Harris yesterday
Speaker 1: do an interview on NBC which was a little bit
Speaker 1: of a softball, of course, but she made the reference
Speaker 1: to the fact that many states like Ohio have a
Speaker 1: voucher system that if your kids in allows you public school,
Speaker 1: it could be anywhere in a room and urban where
Speaker 1: every kids in a lousy public school that you and
Speaker 1: the lawmakers in Columbus have given vouchers to parents and say, okay,
Speaker 1: here's six or eight thousand dollars and you can take
Speaker 1: that voucher and apply in a Catholic school, a charter school,
Speaker 1: and maybe another public school, and you get out of
Speaker 1: that situation. She said, no, we're going to get rid
Speaker 1: of that. That means that if you have a voucher
Speaker 1: right now, and you're a mom or a dad in
Speaker 1: Green Township or Clammont County, New Richmond, and you can
Speaker 1: access a voucher system, you can get your kid out
Speaker 1: of a bad school and put them in a better school.
Speaker 1: She said, no, where do you stand on vouchers, which
Speaker 1: many suburbanite mothers and fathers love quite a bit. Where
Speaker 1: do you stand on that? Do you stand with Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris or do you stand with the American people?
Speaker 8: I stand with the American people. You know, they are
Speaker 8: your children and you have the final stay in their upbringing.
Speaker 8: And when you are forced into a situation where it's
Speaker 8: a bad school system, or it's a school system that
Speaker 8: is so woke that it offends your moral compass, you
Speaker 8: should have the ability to move your tax dollars to
Speaker 8: a place that is more appropriate for your child. It's
Speaker 8: not just that, it's what if the child has some
Speaker 8: special needs that that school system cannot adequately address and
Speaker 8: another school system can adequately address it. These are the
Speaker 8: parents' children, not the educational systems. Children and parents have
Speaker 8: the right and they have the right to move their
Speaker 8: children where they are the most comfortable for the child.
Speaker 8: The child can be the most productive and the happiest
Speaker 8: and be more successful in life.
Speaker 1: Well, let's see what happens. But we get the government
Speaker 1: we deserve. It is ridiculous that the Democratic Party wants
Speaker 1: to eliminate democracy and make sure that voters cannot select
Speaker 1: members of the Reapportionment Board. That is done by a
Speaker 1: panel excluding law enforcement and so many others. And once again,
Speaker 1: Jeanie Schmid, good luck to you. And we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens to State Issue one. But the only proper voting
Speaker 1: on statu Is one is no, which means preserved democracy.
Speaker 1: Let the ballot box govern who rules our lives, academics
Speaker 1: who have different ideas. But Genie Schmidt, once again, thank
Speaker 1: you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And God
Speaker 1: bless you, and God bless Clairemont County. Thank you very much.
Speaker 8: Jeannie, thank you took the pot.
Speaker 1: Bye, let's continue with more to me to have standards
Speaker 1: who won the polling indication is going to pass because people,
Speaker 1: all you got to do is say this is about gerrymandering,
Speaker 1: and you want to change jerrymandering. Yes or no? Well,
Speaker 1: read the first sentence on the ballot as to what
Speaker 1: a yes vote means. And if you can read that, thinking, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't want to vote anymore. Democracy is done and
Speaker 1: the board will select individuals for me that will govern
Speaker 1: my life and I have no say. And if you
Speaker 1: find that acceptable, go ahead and vote yes. But if
Speaker 1: you want control of your own life and your own lines,
Speaker 1: and your own representatives Congress, State House, and State Senate,
Speaker 1: then you got to vote no.
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
Speaker 1: In fact, vote hell no onstead issue one. Let us
Speaker 1: continue with more Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 9: Just ladies and gentlemen, This is Ed Bowsman, Lynchburg, Ohio.

Speaker 9: the seg Man. It is written that Bill Cunningham will
Speaker 9: repent for his sins or face the unkindest cut of all,
Speaker 9: such as the penis of mister Caitlin Jenner. It is
Speaker 9: written that Bill Cunningham will be struck down by the
Speaker 9: forces of Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party.
Speaker 5: God bless you all.
Speaker 7: Hello, by it, I'm broadcasting.

Speaker 1: tell you what. The Bengals played tough the Ravens and
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Now, the Chiefs are better than the when
Speaker 1: when the Bengals played him, and the Ravens are better
Speaker 1: than when the Bengals played him. Ravens look unbeatable until
Speaker 1: they're beatable. Things look great until they're bad. Things look
Speaker 1: bad until they're good. You never know what the hell
Speaker 1: is going on around this place. Half the time, the
Speaker 1: Ravens and the Chiefs looking pregnable, the Bengals look a
Speaker 1: little bit hippie. The Bengals defense is the best part
Speaker 1: of the team and not the offense. Please continue.

Speaker 7: you locked me up.
Speaker 1: We gotta lock him up. The visical doccum segment, that's

Speaker 1: in sipate involvement, will get back here tomorrow. We need
Speaker 1: you at full strength back here tomorrow. Segment Thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more coming up next to me Jeff
Speaker 1: Birding about all the doings in and around tq ellen
Speaker 1: Moore at showing the Reds and the Bengals News Radio
Speaker 1: seven hundred w l Bill in the Great America. Of course,
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Day race is coming up. Blink just took place,
Speaker 1: FC going into the playoffs, and the Bengals about to
Speaker 1: beat the Birds on Sunday. The Reds, the Reds and
Speaker 1: more World Series. A man with his finger on the pulse.
Speaker 1: So what's happening in our town? Is the honorable Jeff Birding,
Speaker 1: who's the CEO and chief bottle washer for FC Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: And Jeff, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham showing. First
Speaker 1: of all, I know FC was not directly involved with
Speaker 1: Blink or Blink. It was the greatest event I've ever
Speaker 1: seen as far as attendance. People went nuts, The stadium
Speaker 1: was lit up. Of course you couldn't walk around, it
Speaker 1: was too crowded. But give me your recollect give me
Speaker 1: your reflections on what happened with Blink. We got the arena,
Speaker 1: you want to build the arena, get a brand new
Speaker 1: place over by you. Of course, you got the Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: race coming up. FC's going into the playoffs. Public safety's
Speaker 1: at risk. I listened Tomingo some of the reverends that
Speaker 1: the Bengals promised ten years ago to build a stadium. Well,
Speaker 1: it's wanting Hill's. The problem isn't building a brand new
Speaker 1: football stadium. The problem is the behavior of one or
Speaker 1: two people at the football games. But nonetheless, there's a
Speaker 1: question in there somewhere, would you answer it for me?
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. So Blink was awesome. Four nights every
Speaker 3: two years. I can say I was Lindsay and I
Speaker 3: were down there every all four nights. Did Northern Kentucky
Speaker 3: on Thursday night, than did over the Rhyane and Finley
Speaker 3: Market on Friday, Saturday, the Central Business District and Sunday
Speaker 3: we sort of filled in where we had missed and
Speaker 3: it was awesome. And you know, we had people in
Speaker 3: town from the Sundance Film Festival we're trying to bring
Speaker 3: that from Utah. That would be a huge coup, a
Speaker 3: huge get for Cincinnati to be the host of the
Speaker 3: Sundance Film Festival. So they got to see Cincinnati Shrine.
Speaker 3: They were just blown away by it. The folks at
Speaker 3: the Chamber of Commerce, Brendan calling his team say over
Speaker 3: a half million people every single night, and it sure
Speaker 3: felt that way too. Two million people downtown. Half of
Speaker 3: the people were not from Greater Cincinnati. People driving in,
Speaker 3: staying in the hotels, flying in from other parts of
Speaker 3: the world. I was at the UC game on Saturday.
Speaker 3: Of course they beat Arizona State, but the Arizona State
Speaker 3: people were downtown.
Speaker 8: One.
Speaker 1: This is amazing.
Speaker 3: The schedule got took good care of him, Like what
Speaker 3: a great city. We had no idea Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: This is amazing.
Speaker 3: And you know, everyone was welcoming and whatnot. So it
Speaker 3: was it was just a wonderful weekend. And of course
Speaker 3: the teams won.
Speaker 5: We won.
Speaker 3: The Bengals. One you see college basketball started was Aavier
Speaker 3: and you see, so a great time to be loving
Speaker 3: on Cincinnati and.
Speaker 1: Xavier beat up on Dayton and you see beat up
Speaker 1: on Ohio State. It could have been a better of
Speaker 1: course it wasn't a good weekend for Cleveland. They had
Speaker 1: the Guardians had the brownies. That's a different point. But
Speaker 1: Tony Bender tells me, you got your idea, your vision
Speaker 1: about a new riverfront type coliseum by TQL. What can
Speaker 1: you tell me about that?
Speaker 3: Well, I think all of us know that the arena
Speaker 3: on the Riverfront is obsolete. It opened in nineteen seventy five,
Speaker 3: only five years after Riverfront Stadium. We mocked Riverfront Stadium
Speaker 3: down twenty years ago. Bill, I mean, anyone who goes
Speaker 3: it knows that it feels unsafe, it's dirty, and you
Speaker 3: know all of us have to get in our cars
Speaker 3: to go to Indianapolis or Columbus or even Louisville in
Speaker 3: order to see the big shows. We don't get March madness.
Speaker 3: They go to Date and they go to Albany, New York,
Speaker 3: they go to Fargo. I mean, why can't we have
Speaker 3: a good arena here? We paid a sales tax twenty
Speaker 3: five years ago. It was meant for sports. Can we
Speaker 3: also get an arena this time around? I think that's
Speaker 3: a fair question. Brendan Call and the Chamber of Commerce
Speaker 3: have done a study. They're just putting the finishing touches
Speaker 3: on it. I want to be fair. I've not been
Speaker 3: involved because you noted that one of the sites that
Speaker 3: is being reviewed is across the street from Police District,
Speaker 3: one across from Music Hall, but it's in our neighborhood
Speaker 3: of where TQUL Stadium is, and I don't want to
Speaker 3: have people think that I'm trying to put my thumb
Speaker 3: on the scale. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: where it is located is less important than that we
Speaker 3: get a new arena. I want, like we had for Blink,
Speaker 3: coming into this region and spending their money filling our restaurants,
Speaker 3: our bars, our hotels, the visitors tax that it generates,
Speaker 3: the hotel tax, just like we have the Cincinnati Open
Speaker 3: tennis tournament and all the Flying Pig Marathon, all the
Speaker 3: other big things we do. We need to have more
Speaker 3: of that, not less of it. But it's going to take,
Speaker 3: you know, new facilities. We've made the investment in the stadiums.
Speaker 3: Let's also see if we can do an arena this
Speaker 3: time as well.
Speaker 1: That's all good, but public safety is terribly important. We
Speaker 1: have to have police that can police. We've got to
Speaker 1: have prosecutors that'll prosecute we have judges that can judge.
Speaker 1: It's all part of it. Just in a generic way.
Speaker 1: You can't get involved in politics. You love everybody, now,
Speaker 1: the lenders, you everyone at farmers, you love everybody, But
Speaker 1: just in a generic way. How important is it to
Speaker 1: have functioning law enforcement in the city of Cincinnati in
Speaker 1: Hamley County.
Speaker 3: Well, of course, enormously important. People have to have confidence
Speaker 3: that they can come down with their family and enjoy
Speaker 3: all of these great assets that we have. Uh And
Speaker 3: I can say from FC Cincinnati's experience, we were very
Speaker 3: closely with the police, the police CPD, with of course
Speaker 3: the Sheriff's deputies that staff, and we also have people
Speaker 3: from the neighborhood who are out walking and making sure
Speaker 3: that people feel safe. And and I'll be honest, we've
Speaker 3: had some moments where cars have been broken into. You
Speaker 3: hate to see it, and and it's our position and
Speaker 3: and the neighborhood and people in the West End that
Speaker 3: when kids do that there, and it is always young people,
Speaker 3: there has to be some form of sanction, whether that
Speaker 3: is you know, they're spending the next four Saturdays picking
Speaker 3: up trash along the highway or in the West End
Speaker 3: or in other parts of town. But there has to
Speaker 3: be a sanction. They can't just get a pat on
Speaker 3: the back or a hug uh. And again I'm speaking
Speaker 3: very specifically. People in the West End say to us, Jeff,
Speaker 3: we have to work with juvenile court. We have to
Speaker 3: work with the to make sure that there's a sanction.
Speaker 3: No one's saying they have to go to jail for
Speaker 3: a year for breaking into a car. But they can't
Speaker 3: just get a pat on the back and say don't
Speaker 3: do it again. There has to be a sanction in
Speaker 3: order to show people that listen, when you'd make bad decisions,
Speaker 3: we're going to hold you accountable for your.
Speaker 1: Bad decisions as a quality of life, breaking into cars,
Speaker 1: breaking into homes, stealing stuff. There's kind of a sense
Speaker 1: because of our weakness in juvenile court, and maybe Judge
Speaker 1: Bloom's getting the message that we can have a free
Speaker 1: load city like in Chicago, New York and which is
Speaker 1: no cash bond. You have to write a paper and
Speaker 1: you get out. We got to have functional law enforcement.
Speaker 1: I think the city's teetering. And lastly, about a minute remaining,
Speaker 1: Jeff Birding f season the playoffs once again tell the
Speaker 1: American people what lies ahead of anything.
Speaker 3: Well, we've made the playoffs three years in a row,
Speaker 3: and we play home field advantage in the first round. Again,
Speaker 3: it's New York City. So our first game is next
Speaker 3: Monday night, October twenty eighth, six forty five. It's earlier
Speaker 3: because you know it's a school night. And then we
Speaker 3: got to win a second game. We go to New
Speaker 3: York November the second. If we need game three, it's Saturday,
Speaker 3: November ninth. Tickets are still available Bill at fccincinnati dot com.
Speaker 3: There's no ties in the playoffs, right, so it goes
Speaker 3: right to penalty kicks in this first round and we
Speaker 3: get through it. We have a chance to advance the
Speaker 3: conference semifinal and the finals, probably play the Crew again.
Speaker 3: And then this year, last year we won the Shield.
Speaker 3: This year we can win MLS Cup.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Jeff Birding, you're a great American. Public
Speaker 1: safety is terribly important, and the city is teetering, I think,
Speaker 1: and we have to have functional law enforcement. And once again,
Speaker 1: Jeff Birding, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: And Jeff, you're a great American.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Bill.
