Speaker 1: By Billy Cunningham, the Great America, and welcome this bridget
Speaker 1: shot daft in the tri State. Terrible weather everywhere, and
Speaker 1: it's going to stay here for the next several days.
Speaker 1: Maybe person next week may get a little bit better,
Speaker 1: may not, who knows.
Speaker 2: But we're in the middle of I think.
Speaker 1: The tenth or eleventh polar vortex that has struck the Midwest.
Speaker 1: And we'll see what happens there. Big show plan in
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes or so. We've scheduled Jay Ratliff to
Speaker 1: come up. There's new information about that Delta plane that
Speaker 1: crashed in Toronto, which involves the steep rate of descent allegedly.
Speaker 1: I'm watching this morning on one of the cable channels,
Speaker 1: I think it was a CNN. They had an F
Speaker 1: eighteen pilot on saying you're supposed to descend about eight
Speaker 1: hundred feet a minute. It was descending at fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: feet a minute. So as the plane landed, it crushed
Speaker 1: one of the tires, and then the plane went to
Speaker 1: the right, and then the wing blew off jet fuel
Speaker 1: and flames everywhere. Then a road on its belly. So
Speaker 1: away we go with that. Plus later on is David
Speaker 1: Kubicki of Columbia Township to talk about marijuana and how
Speaker 1: there's a sense in some of the cities and townships
Speaker 1: that's the bait and switch tactics going on in Columbus.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with that, but until then, brad Winstrip,
Speaker 1: Doctor brad Winstrip twenty five years as a soldier and
Speaker 1: about twelve years in the Congress, and he was appointed
Speaker 1: by President Trump to the Advisory Council on Intelligence things
Speaker 1: of that character. And brad Winstrip, welcome again to the
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, before we talk
Speaker 1: about the Avian flu and the plane crash and Iran
Speaker 1: and Ukraine and talk about all matters about Israel, et cetera,
Speaker 1: tell us first of all, what is brad Winstrip doing
Speaker 1: these days?
Speaker 3: If anything, Well, I'm working on doing some consulting and
Speaker 3: business development type programs. And most of the outreach to
Speaker 3: me has come directly from people that are interested in
Speaker 3: national security and the supply chain and energy. And so
Speaker 3: we'll see where we might be able to take the
Speaker 3: experiences of twelve years in Congress and military background to
Speaker 3: try and build a healthier, safer nation.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the avian flu because many of us,
Speaker 1: in the back of my mind, COVID is somewhat fresh.
Speaker 1: All hell broke loose in March of twenty twenty before
Speaker 1: that it was out there h one, the so called COVID,
Speaker 1: and obviously I think we've done this before, originated in
Speaker 1: the lab as a leak by mistake, and the Lab
Speaker 1: of virology there in Muhan. We believe that's what happened,
Speaker 1: but no one wanted to say that because it would
Speaker 1: pin the tail on the Chinese donkey, and you can't
Speaker 1: do that. As we sit here this Tuesday afternoon, how
Speaker 1: much of a concern do you have, and you were
Speaker 1: the guy in charge in the Congress of the COVID subcommittee,
Speaker 1: how much of a concern do you have now that
Speaker 1: we're going to have a similar result with this particular
Speaker 1: avian flu.
Speaker 3: No. I think we learned a lot of lessons from COVID,
Speaker 3: and that's to take things lightly or think that it'll
Speaker 3: just be under control. And so the avian flu is,
Speaker 3: you know, something we need to be very much concerned about.
Speaker 2: So you have a virus that's affecting.
Speaker 3: Poultry, and that's why we've had to kill so many
Speaker 3: because we don't want it spreading more and more, and
Speaker 3: so that creates a shortage, and you know it affects
Speaker 3: us economically and at the grocery store. So what can
Speaker 3: happen and what has seemed to be happening. You take
Speaker 3: the case in Louisiana where there was a death related
Speaker 3: to the avian flu. But the avian flu that was
Speaker 3: in the person who became ill and passed away was
Speaker 3: a mutation of what we're finding in the animals. And
Speaker 3: in this case, you're looking at the viruses that are
Speaker 3: in the animals on that particular farm where the person
Speaker 3: became ill, and it appears that the mutation occurred within
Speaker 3: the human being because none of the animals had this
Speaker 3: same sequence as a human being.
Speaker 2: Viruses are very crafty.
Speaker 3: They will mutate, as most of America that after COVID,
Speaker 3: but they will mutate, and they're always trying to survive
Speaker 3: and they need to get into your cells to survive.
Speaker 2: And when they do, they cause damage.
Speaker 3: So this human avian flu is different from what's in
Speaker 3: cows and poultry, but seemingly through mutation that occurred within
Speaker 3: the human being, not before going to the human being.
Speaker 3: So you know, again, some things that may kill a
Speaker 3: cow or a chicken won't necessarily kill a human, but
Speaker 3: if it mutates, it can find that capability, which was
Speaker 3: the thing with COVID. When you looked at the coronavirus
Speaker 3: that became COVID, it had something on it called if're
Speaker 3: and cleavage site, which made it more infectious to humans.
Speaker 3: And we had never seen in nature and still have
Speaker 3: not in nature a coronavirus of that type with a
Speaker 3: fear and cleavage site.
Speaker 2: But we do know that in the lab they were.
Speaker 3: Adding for your and cleavage sites to certain coronaviruses and modifying,
Speaker 3: so you know, this seems to be something in nature,
Speaker 3: but it really stresses the importance of the things that
Speaker 3: we do as far as surveillance. You know, I went
Speaker 3: to Cambodian laos and this is this is a place
Speaker 3: where I think USAID has a good role because we're
Speaker 3: using our soft power to try and help a nation
Speaker 3: be healthier. And the USAID as they're working with their scientists,
Speaker 3: training more of their scientists so that they know how
Speaker 3: to do surveillance.
Speaker 2: And we went to the wet markets, the.
Speaker 3: Animal markets where they're you know, swabbing the birds that
Speaker 3: are in there. To check them from the types of
Speaker 3: viruses that there are.
Speaker 2: So you record all of these.
Speaker 3: Things, and what the potential for the future is that
Speaker 3: you see these and you understand the components of a virus.
Speaker 3: I believe that AI can be the way to predict
Speaker 3: what might occur in nature, rather than actually making a
Speaker 3: more dangerous pathogen in the lab, which was gain of
Speaker 3: function research.
Speaker 1: And so when you talk about the coronavirus unique in
Speaker 1: nature because of certain receptors, isn't it probable, if not certain,
Speaker 1: that COVID nineteen was concocted in a lab in Wuhan
Speaker 1: that the American taxpayer partially paid for.
Speaker 2: We paid for that kind of research. Is that true?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean it's all in our report, and people
Speaker 3: can go online and look at the Majority Report on
Speaker 3: the Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus Pandemic and.
Speaker 2: You'll get every bit of it.
Speaker 3: You'll get all our transcribed interviews, and we have it
Speaker 3: very orderly and broken down into sections, and people can
Speaker 3: see the forensics that would lead one to believe that
Speaker 3: this came from a lab. And yes, we were funding this,
Speaker 3: and you know, now you're getting into what we see
Speaker 3: within our agencies and the processes that are very, very
Speaker 3: foul from what they should be. And again, this we
Speaker 3: need to do, and we are doing a certain type
Speaker 3: of doze on NIH and the agencies and the grant
Speaker 3: process and oversight and all of these types of things
Speaker 3: of what we're putting taxpayer dollars into.
Speaker 2: You know, keep in mind that.
Speaker 3: The particular study that was done in Wuhan, China using
Speaker 3: gain of function research that we just described was denied
Speaker 3: by DARPA. DARPA is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Speaker 3: They said no, no, no, that's too dangerous and we're
Speaker 3: not going to do that. We're especially not going to
Speaker 3: do it over there. And yet go over to NIH
Speaker 3: and you get the grant. So our our government's too big,
Speaker 3: it's not organized, and it's it's not as precise as
Speaker 3: it should be, and we've we've got to make those changes.
Speaker 2: But we want to point out to go ahead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, with what the rate of confidence do you say
Speaker 1: that the H five and one, which is described today
Speaker 1: as the most recent bird virus is not man made.
Speaker 3: I believe it's not man made. I believe it's it's
Speaker 3: it's natural. But I also think between COVID and things
Speaker 3: like this, episodes like this, it does stress the importance
Speaker 3: of surveillance for viruses to find out what is out
Speaker 3: there and what could possibly be changed. And we certainly
Speaker 3: have to know what's going on in laboratories too, don't
Speaker 3: get me wrong, but in this particular case, I think
Speaker 3: it's it's something that's been a concern for some time,
Speaker 3: and not not any reports that I know of of
Speaker 3: this type of work going on in a lab, except
Speaker 3: for the possibility of creating vaccines. You know, you take
Speaker 3: a virus and that and from that virus is what
Speaker 3: drives you towards making a vaccine against that virus. But
Speaker 3: with gain and function research, what they were trying to
Speaker 3: do is create a virus before it actually existed and
Speaker 3: then create the vaccine in case it ever existed. But
Speaker 3: if it gets out of the lab, it's dangerous. So
Speaker 3: this is this is natural, but you know, there's things
Speaker 3: we're doing and we need to do more of in
Speaker 3: my opinion, which is like wastewater when a plane comes
Speaker 3: in from another country, especially one where there's high suspicion
Speaker 3: of a pathogen, then you can check the wastewater from
Speaker 3: the plane and see what kind of viruses are present there.
Speaker 3: These are the types of things that can be our sonar,
Speaker 3: if you will, our radar to get us ahead of
Speaker 3: the curve, and we can put out warnings. When I
Speaker 3: was in Cambodian Laos, an eleven year old girl died
Speaker 3: of av and flu. She lived in the rural areas,
Speaker 3: and therefore it was able to be contained right then
Speaker 3: and there. And those are the types of processes that
Speaker 3: didn't always exist before, and so this has to.
Speaker 2: Happen more and more.
Speaker 3: And I think the world after COVID is especially more
Speaker 3: aware of the potential dangers and why it's good to
Speaker 3: niftyse things in the butt.
Speaker 1: As we sit here Tuesday afternoon, there's many issues. The
Speaker 1: weather's an issue, job creation is an issue, taxes, doge
Speaker 1: Elon musk Trump, Iran emmin An attack allegedly Benjamin Netchnaw
Speaker 1: who has received sixteen hundred two thousand pound bombs. And
Speaker 1: that's not for anything relative to Gaza. We got all
Speaker 1: hell break and loose. People are concerned, schools are closed
Speaker 1: quite often, can't get the snow off the city streets.
Speaker 1: How much concern and worry should Tony Bender and his
Speaker 1: family have in Boone County that h five one is
Speaker 1: going to metastasize like COVID nineteen did.
Speaker 3: I think at this particular point, unless there's some uncontrolled
Speaker 3: outbreak somewhere, I feel like we're on top of it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: you know, someone in Louisiana died, and again this goes
Speaker 3: more towards surveillance and a quick reaction for us. And
Speaker 3: then not only that, but to have treatments available. You know,
Speaker 3: we have to be able to work on anti virals
Speaker 3: and antibodies that can fight against a sudden outbreak of
Speaker 3: a new vaccine or of a new virus that presents,
Speaker 3: especially if it's a mutation of something that's already out there,
Speaker 3: you have a little bit of a heads up because
Speaker 3: you've got the base virus that then mutates. So it
Speaker 3: takes effort, but I think you know, you can rest comfortably.
Speaker 3: I think that you know we're taking the actions necessary
Speaker 3: when you see the destruction of you know, animals in
Speaker 3: an effort to present disease, and you know, in this
Speaker 3: case with eggs, for example, there's a shortage and we
Speaker 3: got to suffer a little bit in the name of prevention.
Speaker 1: So this isn't something keeping you up at night. Tell
Speaker 1: the American people if you can. What is the Presidential
Speaker 1: Intelligence Advisory Board. You're on there with twelve others wanted
Speaker 1: by President Trump. What is the Presidential Intelligence Advisory Board.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we are.
Speaker 3: There to advise the president and discuss capabilities that exist
Speaker 3: in this world that are threats to the United States
Speaker 3: and advise the president on those. And you have people
Speaker 3: on there that have experience in this realm. And I'm
Speaker 3: looking forward to working on it and carrying out the
Speaker 3: President's agenda to have intelligence community that can be seen
Speaker 3: in a light of high integrity and character and that
Speaker 3: we're doing things right, and that it's not its own
Speaker 3: little country, that it belongs to the people. The intelligence
Speaker 3: community belongs to the people. And then we will carry
Speaker 3: out and be able to make sure that the President
Speaker 3: gets the best advice on intelligence from around the world.
Speaker 1: Lastly, how much when you were on the Intelligence Committee
Speaker 1: and you were head of the subcommittee on COVID things
Speaker 1: of that character, you were given the most sensitive information
Speaker 1: of the world. And I'm looking at reports out of
Speaker 1: Israel that Benjamin Netchin Yahoo now has possession of eighteen
Speaker 1: hundred two thousand pounds bunker buster bombs. He's been given
Speaker 1: a green light to go after Iran Iran itself. This
Speaker 1: is not about the Iranian people, the Persian people. This
Speaker 1: is about the government they have. The religious leaders in
Speaker 1: Iran think the way to heaven is to kill innocent men,
Speaker 1: women and children. When it comes to exchanging prisoners, we
Speaker 1: have something like twenty five or thirty innocent people being
Speaker 1: traded for hundreds or thousands of murderers, those convicted of
Speaker 1: killing and taking back in charge of Gaza Hamas as
Speaker 1: a non factor. Well, when you were in the house
Speaker 1: and you had so many intelligent studies, was there belief
Speaker 1: that somehow the intelligence that we had about the October
Speaker 1: attack so many other things, the intelligence community has failed
Speaker 1: repeatedly to keep American safe and advice as far as
Speaker 1: what we know, do you have concern about the danger
Speaker 1: of the world in which we live? And whenever something
Speaker 1: happens that dooge raises his ugly head and the media
Speaker 1: blames Donald Trump for the plane crash in Toronto, They
Speaker 1: blamed Donald Trump for the Metavac plane that went down.
Speaker 1: They blamed Donald Trump for everything. So in the Intelligence Committee,
Speaker 1: as an American, how pleased are you now that Trump
Speaker 1: is in charge instead of Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: Well, I think that what we're going to see is
Speaker 3: we're going to take the politics out of it. You know,
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, President Trump is for America America first, and
Speaker 3: some people don't like that. I always say America first,
Speaker 3: but not alone. We you know, we live in a
Speaker 3: very small world these days when it comes to gathering intelligence,
Speaker 3: you know, you want to be able to make your
Speaker 3: best decisions. And I think with this president, for example,
Speaker 3: he's sort of in the Reagan realm of peace through
Speaker 3: strengths and what can we have in place to be
Speaker 3: a deterrent?
Speaker 2: So the components that you use.
Speaker 3: To be a deterrent are strong one strong military. You
Speaker 3: can use diplomacy, you know, as best you feel necessary,
Speaker 3: with your State Department and with the President and leaders themselves.
Speaker 3: But intelligence, having the intelligence of what you're up against
Speaker 3: to understand what the battleground looks like out there gives
Speaker 3: you gives you great authority, especially when you are carrying
Speaker 3: out diplomacy. And then the other tools that we have
Speaker 3: that are non kinetic would be like sanctions. And if
Speaker 3: you look at what the Trump administration before did with Iran,
Speaker 3: really held them at bay, it weakened them. You know,
Speaker 3: we didn't want to go in and kill the Iranian
Speaker 3: people because most of them don't particularly care for their leadership,
Speaker 3: but they are on the thumb of that leadership. You know,
Speaker 3: tro sanctions and other means, we really brought them to
Speaker 3: your knees. And you know Obama administration, going back to
Speaker 3: the abomdministration, they were worried about Iran getting a nuke.
Speaker 3: Well today they don't have one. So maybe we've been
Speaker 3: doing some things right without having to use a military action,
Speaker 3: either ours or Israels. So the idea of having good
Speaker 3: intelligence and you know, if you can do what you
Speaker 3: can to slow production, reduce dollars that can go towards
Speaker 3: developing a nuclear weapon, those types of things, you take
Speaker 3: the intelligence that you have and all the tools that
Speaker 3: you have to try and make a difference and bring
Speaker 3: about peace and not conflict.
Speaker 1: Wonderful Congressman, the next Congressman and Soldier brad Winstrip, thanks
Speaker 1: for coming on. I know it's a big deal to
Speaker 1: be on the Presidential Intelligence Advisory Committee, but H five
Speaker 1: N one is out there. The price of eggs is
Speaker 1: tripled because you killed thirty or forty million chickens, and
Speaker 1: that's the way to handle the outbreak. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: prices are going to go up for bacon and sausage,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But we'll see what happens
Speaker 1: down the road. Once again, Brad Winsterm, thank you for
Speaker 1: your service and thank you for coming on the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. And Brad, you're a great American. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much.
Speaker 3: It's a pleasure.
Speaker 2: Thanks Bill.
Speaker 1: Well, let's continue with more coming up after the news
Speaker 1: is going to be We've scheduled Jay Ratliffe new information
Speaker 1: about the delta plane that crashed yesterday afternoon about three o'clock. Also,
Speaker 1: later on, we've scheduled David Kubicki, township trustee in Columbia.
Speaker 1: Many of the township trustees and municipal governments are extremely
Speaker 1: unhappy with Mike DeWine what they want to do with marijuana,
Speaker 1: to kill the Golden Goose and more. Plus we've scheduled
Speaker 1: Frank LeRose at some point today. So let's continue. Weather
Speaker 1: is terrible, but things are great at your home of
Speaker 1: the Red's News Radio seven hundred Wuldow.
Speaker 2: Billy Cunningham.
Speaker 1: Yesterday afternoon that Delta plane crashed in Toronto. The video
Speaker 1: is available on filming websites is frightening, it's scary, and man,
Speaker 1: with all the answers, at least most of the questions
Speaker 1: is my aviation consulting the great Jay Ratliffe and Jay Ratliffe,
Speaker 1: welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And what do
Speaker 1: we know as we sit here about twenty minutes before
Speaker 1: one o'clock on Tuesday afternoon about why this thing happened
Speaker 1: and it was a miracle, no one was killed. We're
Speaker 1: looking at the fireball, But what do we know at
Speaker 1: this point if anything, Jay Ratliffe, Well, one of the
Speaker 1: things that.
Speaker 4: It's rare is for us to have an aircraft that
Speaker 4: is on its top during an emergency situation and not
Speaker 4: be talking about fatality. So you were right, quite the
Speaker 4: miracle there for that. But one of the things that
Speaker 4: is probably the most apparent now as we've received one
Speaker 4: of the latest videos of the landing was how apparently
Speaker 4: as the aircraft was coming in the CRG nine hundred,
Speaker 4: the bombardier's mean landing gear on the right side especially
Speaker 4: seemed to collapse or the gear itself was off to
Speaker 4: the side of the run. That caused the aircraft to
Speaker 4: tilt quite a bit and as a result, the right
Speaker 4: wing struck something that ended up causing it to be
Speaker 4: taken off. The aircraft turned, the other wing went up,
Speaker 4: caught the wind and then it flipped and we go
Speaker 4: from there. So the National Transportation Safety Board is not
Speaker 4: leading the charge here because it is a Canadian accident.
Speaker 4: They will be assisting the Canadian authorities, as will Bombardier,
Speaker 4: the aircraft manufacture. All three will get together, the black
Speaker 4: boxes will be reviewed. They'll be looking at every bit
Speaker 4: of evidence and to determine exactly what the cause or
Speaker 4: causes were that brought this accident around. We do know
Speaker 4: that the first responders did a great job getting to
Speaker 4: the aircraft, the flight crew, and you know, twenty year plus, Bill,
Speaker 4: I've been talking about bragging on flight attendants as emergency
Speaker 4: evacuation specialists. That's exactly what they were here. And remember
Speaker 4: this aircraft's and burted. It's on top. So what you
Speaker 4: have is flight attendants that are trained normally to once
Speaker 4: given the order the aircraft doors open, Well, they had
Speaker 4: to first disengage those emergency slides, which they did because
Speaker 4: of those would have gotten in the way, impeding any
Speaker 4: sort of a fast evacuation. And for those that were
Speaker 4: kind enough to take video. As they were getting off
Speaker 4: of the airplane, we could hear the flight attendants constantly
Speaker 4: telling passengers leave their belongings behind. Some still chose to
Speaker 4: slow down the evacuation by bringing stuff. But probably the
Speaker 4: best story of all of this bill was the reports
Speaker 4: from people on board that said that instead of at
Speaker 4: the time that the aircraft came to stop, everybody kind
Speaker 4: of doing a man for themselves. Everybody was concerned about others.
Speaker 4: They were assisting their fellow passengers and getting off the aircraft,
Speaker 4: and you know, that was really good to see in
Speaker 4: a crisis such as that.
Speaker 1: What's amazing is that these passengers were like bats in
Speaker 1: a cave, hanging upside down, I would think, completely disoriented,
Speaker 1: and as the plane is landing, it's completely normal. Well,
Speaker 1: within about three seconds it goes from hey, life is good,
Speaker 1: we're on the ground, to life and death, and that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I watched an F eighteen fighter pilot this morning on
Speaker 1: CNN talk about it looked to him like the rate
Speaker 1: of descent was wrong. He said, we descend about eight
Speaker 1: hundred feet a minute. This was descending fifteen hundred feet
Speaker 1: a minute, and so his point was the plane was
Speaker 1: landing at a sharp angle, which collapsed the right landing
Speaker 1: gear that cause the plane to larch right. Then the
Speaker 1: wing was taken off jet fuel everywhere. Does that make
Speaker 1: sense to you that the level of descent was a
Speaker 1: little too sharp.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I had him at about eleven hundred feet a minute,
Speaker 4: right close to five hundred feet on their descent rate.
Speaker 4: And of course, one of the things that when you're
Speaker 4: dealing with a crosswind is this crew was supposed to
Speaker 4: have thirty to forty miles an hour. One of the
Speaker 4: things you do is you increase the speed of your
Speaker 4: descent to offset what's going to be happening. When you
Speaker 4: have that, you get into trouble if you come in
Speaker 4: too slow. Now, as far as the angle of attack,
Speaker 4: as far as them coming down, that is still going
Speaker 4: to be left to be determined from the investigators. But
Speaker 4: it does look like they landed hard, and again it
Speaker 4: may be something where its crew related where they came
Speaker 4: in too hard, landed and it collapsed that landing gear
Speaker 4: that led to the sequence of events that took place.
Speaker 4: They might have had a mechanical situation with the main
Speaker 4: gear itself, with the undercarriage there that caused the problem.
Speaker 4: You could have had something where weather contributed that caused
Speaker 4: the airplane to drop at that last moment, critical moment
Speaker 4: of flight. You could have had a pilot that had
Speaker 4: a medical episode at that last moment that could have
Speaker 4: contributed to that. So there's a lot of different factors
Speaker 4: that are at play right now. And one of the
Speaker 4: nice things is that, a you've got the crew to interview,
Speaker 4: Thank god that no lives were lost here, and you
Speaker 4: also have the black boxes as far as the cockpit
Speaker 4: voice recorders, like data recorder, the air itself, and the
Speaker 4: investigators are going to be able to determine over the
Speaker 4: course of the next six seven, eight months exactly what happened,
Speaker 4: and then we will go from there. But you know,
Speaker 4: those seats we complain about all the time on airplanes,
Speaker 4: but G they're too small and G they're so uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: They're also built to a stand sixteen g's of force,
Speaker 4: and that's nice to have when you've got an aircraft
Speaker 4: that went through what this airplane went through, that everything
Speaker 4: stayed was supposed to and the fuselage of the aircraft
Speaker 4: did what it was built to do, stay together and
Speaker 4: protecting the lives of the passengers inside. So you know,
Speaker 4: you can see an accident like this and when I
Speaker 4: look at it, Willie, I'm thinking, you know, thank God
Speaker 4: we've got the safety standards we do have here in
Speaker 4: the United States and in Canada as far as our aircraft,
Speaker 4: because that's what kept everybody safe here. There are other
Speaker 4: countries that have airplanes that aren't as well maintained or
Speaker 4: have issues that we will not allow to fly into
Speaker 4: the United States any gateway airport because their standards aren't
Speaker 4: where we want them to be. So, you know, the FAA,
Speaker 4: although I give them a hard time on a lot
Speaker 4: of different things, they do a very good job of
Speaker 4: making sure that those standards are met. And that's one
Speaker 4: of the reasons that we have in the past enjoyed
Speaker 4: the safest era ever of commercial jet travel. Of course,
Speaker 4: we went nearly sixteen years between the Colgan Air crash
Speaker 4: February of two thousand and nine to the tragedy that
Speaker 4: took place in Washington, d C. So we've had three
Speaker 4: accidents in the last four weeks and doesn't mean that
Speaker 4: it's not safe to fly. You're talking about three totally
Speaker 4: different accidents with the helicopter at the wrong altitude, in DC.
Speaker 4: We don't know yet what caused the crash in Alaska,
Speaker 4: and then this one, which could be weather and or
Speaker 4: mechanical or pilot or whatever. Ara, It's three totally different
Speaker 4: scenarios that we're dealing with there, Jay right Leff.
Speaker 1: I watched also this morning and there was a cultural
Speaker 1: comment made that this was not a Delta jet, it
Speaker 1: was a Delta subsidiar. And the person said that if
Speaker 1: you're a flight attendant or you're a pilot, you kind
Speaker 1: of want to go to those subsidiaries before you get
Speaker 1: to the main show. It's like being in the minor leagues.
Speaker 1: You're in Louisville and you're in Date and you're not
Speaker 1: You're not at the Great American Ballpark yet. And I thought,
Speaker 1: you know, I've been on those planes. I would assume
Speaker 1: you've been on those planes. I never had a sense
Speaker 1: of a lot of safety culturally. Would it be better
Speaker 1: to go on a the commentator said, a real Delta
Speaker 1: jet and not a subsidiary.
Speaker 2: I would.
Speaker 4: I would not give much attention to someone that makes
Speaker 4: those kind of comments. Now, I will quickly agree that
Speaker 4: the flight attendants on a regional jet may not have
Speaker 4: the years of experience that you might have on a
Speaker 4: Delta United American totally would would subscribe to that. I
Speaker 4: would also say that the pilots, many times on the
Speaker 4: regional jets have fewer flight hours than what we might
Speaker 4: see with regards to those same airlines. But bill to
Speaker 4: suggest that they are not as well trained, well prepared,
Speaker 4: and would do just a good a job as the
Speaker 4: others is an insult to the training they go through.
Speaker 4: They don't go through, Oh you're a regional jet, here's
Speaker 4: your training, and you work for America in Delta. Oh
Speaker 4: here's your training. Now it's aircraft specific, yes, but they
Speaker 4: go through some incredibly difficult training that teaches them how
Speaker 4: to evacuate any aircraft in ninety seconds or less in
Speaker 4: the dark with half the exits blocked. And that's why
Speaker 4: when I see these people snapping their fingers to get
Speaker 4: their next drink, I want to smack them up the
Speaker 4: side the head with their iPad because they're not there
Speaker 4: to bring us drinks. Yes they do. They're there to
Speaker 4: save our butts in an emergency situation, as these individuals did.
Speaker 4: So I don't jump onto a regional jet thinking, oh
Speaker 4: my gosh, you know we've got a lower level of training.
Speaker 4: Absolutely not. Those men and women know what they're doing.
Speaker 4: And anybody that I was doing a point counterpoint on
Speaker 4: in an interview would know very quickly. On Fox or
Speaker 4: anything else I do that I would not agree at
Speaker 4: all with the kind of assessment.
Speaker 1: Now, lastly, politics has raised it's ugly head. I see
Speaker 1: certain congressmen and senators like Adam Schiff talks about the
Speaker 1: danger of getting on a plane because Donald Trump's in
Speaker 1: the White House and he's got these FAA cuts all
Speaker 1: over the place. I think four hundred or six hundred
Speaker 1: were cut. They were probationary employees, by the way, and
Speaker 1: they made.
Speaker 2: The controllers correct, right, and give me your perspective. You're
Speaker 2: the expert, do you think.
Speaker 1: And the other issue being raised to that Doze and
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is saying that we're we have a World
Speaker 1: War two system. We have to update our FAA, the
Speaker 1: air traffic controller, we got to update everything.
Speaker 2: But is the system we have in plays now? It
Speaker 2: can't be that bad.
Speaker 1: Until recently we had the three incidents, one in Alaska,
Speaker 1: Potomac and now this one that's pretty good. I don't
Speaker 1: know how many flights there are days, got to be
Speaker 1: one hundreds of thousands of flights every day. And do
Speaker 1: you buy the political argument that Trump has caused this?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Absolutely not. And I mean if what in it. I'm
Speaker 4: looking at my watch in this twenty seven days of
Speaker 4: being in office. That's amazing what he can be accused
Speaker 4: of of being responsible for. But look, I'm a big
Speaker 4: support of Donald Trump, but when he came out after
Speaker 4: the DC crash saying this is a result of DEI
Speaker 4: in the air traffic control system, I thought that comment
Speaker 4: was way out of bounds and I thought it never
Speaker 4: should have been said, because there's a lot of things
Speaker 4: that contribute to these accidents, as we just discussed, and
Speaker 4: the idea of laying it at the feed of DEI
Speaker 4: is something that just to me just doesn't sit well.
Speaker 4: I will also say, though, that the President Will has
Speaker 4: made it clear that he wants to make the FAA
Speaker 4: a priority and bringing in the SpaceX tech individuals to
Speaker 4: I can't say upgrade the system because Bill, that would
Speaker 4: be an insult to the word upgrade. That system is
Speaker 4: so old, like you said, some based on World War
Speaker 4: two technology. It's incredibly outdated. And the idea that these
Speaker 4: men and women who are working short staffed as the
Speaker 4: air traffic controllers are using such antiquated equipment and still
Speaker 4: pulling it off and making it all work. A worked
Speaker 4: against us because all the politicians said, well, why do
Speaker 4: we need to give them money if everything's working as
Speaker 4: it should. But it's also burning him out. We're seeing
Speaker 4: a lot of them leave. We hire somebody, it takes
Speaker 4: him a number of years so that we can get
Speaker 4: them working on their own. And I'm glad that the
Speaker 4: FA is going to be given a priority. We need
Speaker 4: it from the technology standpoint, and maybe they can pull
Speaker 4: out a Manhattan project and get it knocked out in
Speaker 4: three years and get it where it needs to be.
Speaker 4: Because I've heard presidents in different people for decades addressing
Speaker 4: this bill. None of them have done anything about it. Nothing.
Speaker 4: So President Trump is probably going to make things considerably
Speaker 4: safer than where they have ever been. And I love that,
Speaker 4: and the idea of President Trump being responsible for anything.
Speaker 4: I'll quickly add he's coming in after four years of
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, who didn't do much to upgrade the facility.
Speaker 4: But Bill, I'll tell you this, I'm not a Joe
Speaker 4: Biden van at all, but I did appreciate the last
Speaker 4: two years the Biden administration holding the airlines accountable from
Speaker 4: a service standpoint, Unlike any other administration I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: They were holding them accountable, they were making sure that
Speaker 4: they did certain things. Recently, they were pushing the dot
Speaker 4: for a full transparency where we would see all the
Speaker 4: fees presented on the online booking apps up front. Airlines
Speaker 4: fought it well. A court order last week sided on
Speaker 4: the side of the airlines, surprisingly and they're not going
Speaker 4: to have to do that, and far too many things
Speaker 4: airlines get their way. They did in the last two years,
Speaker 4: and we had Boeing United in Delta Connect contributing a
Speaker 4: million dollars to the Trump inaugural fund, and I think
Speaker 4: that they see and the stock prices went up right
Speaker 4: after you got elected, all because people are under the impression,
Speaker 4: rightfully so that they're going to be given a free
Speaker 4: pass and a lot of the customer service issues and
Speaker 4: it's going to be a return to what we used
Speaker 4: to have, which is really sad to see. I wish
Speaker 4: the president would adopt that same mentality as the administration
Speaker 4: and going after these airlines and holding him accountable.
Speaker 1: You're the golden standard when it comes to this stuff,
Speaker 1: and it couldn't agree with everything you said. More, this
Speaker 1: is still the golden era. What happened in Alaska Potoma,
Speaker 1: and this appears to be maybe pilot era. I don't
Speaker 1: know about Alaska at this point. It could be, but
Speaker 1: this is still the golden era. But to say a
Speaker 1: regional jet line is kind of like the minor leagues
Speaker 1: you haven't got to the prime time yet, is wrong.
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliff, you're the best there is of this stuff.
Speaker 1: And once again, thank you for coming on the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show and setting the record straight.
Speaker 4: Jay, thank you anytime, my friend, Thank you.
Speaker 2: God bless you.
Speaker 1: I let's continue with more. There, you got it, and
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. The rated dissent was where it was,
Speaker 1: according to Jay Ratlift because of the crosswinds, so this
Speaker 1: will all be determined. But a blown tire wing hitting
Speaker 1: the runway, jet fuel everywhere, all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: passengers are upside down like bats hanging in a cave
Speaker 1: and everyone gets out with their life intact. Not bad,
Speaker 1: all right, Let's continue with more coming up next to
Speaker 1: Frank LeRose. Also util later on David Kubicki from Columbia
Speaker 1: Township about marijuana and more at Showman the Reds News
Speaker 1: Radio seven hundred WW by Billy Cunningham, the Great American.
Speaker 1: Of course, Frank LeRose, the second cousin of Fluddy LaRosa,
Speaker 1: is the Ohio.
Speaker 2: Secretary of State.
Speaker 1: Big announcement on Monday focal with Sabek Ramaswami going to
Speaker 1: join you and I sometime early next week. But in
Speaker 1: the meantime, once again, Frank LaRose, Secretary of State, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the Bill Cunningham Show. And before we go much further,
Speaker 1: I'm watching one of the cable channels this morning, and
Speaker 1: New York City wants to very badly allow US citizens
Speaker 1: to actually vote, non US citizens to vote in US elections,
Speaker 1: and that because taxes are being paid, et cetera. And
Speaker 1: so we're in California. The same thing occurred there. Many
Speaker 1: cities allow non citizens to vote, supposedly, not on federal elections,
Speaker 1: citizen state elections. And uh, this is a recipe for
Speaker 1: total disaster, the taking you over the ballot box by
Speaker 1: electraing radicals. So what is the latest New York City
Speaker 1: about their desires to have non citizens voting in US elections.
Speaker 5: This is madness. And by the way, they tried this
Speaker 5: in Ohio in a little place called the Village of
Speaker 5: Yellow Springs, where the communists that run the place thought
Speaker 5: that they could pass a village resolution authorizing non citizens
Speaker 5: to vote. Of course I had to step in and
Speaker 5: remind them that that's illegal. And here's the other thing.
Speaker 5: If you talk to a group of recent citizens, those
Speaker 5: that have earned their citizenship, raised their right hand, pass
Speaker 5: the test, stood in line, they would tell you, don't
Speaker 5: you dare cheapen the thing that I worked so hard
Speaker 5: to earn. New American immigrants, new American citizens would tell
Speaker 5: you that citizenship has value, it has status, it means something.
Speaker 5: For the city of New York, foolishly to try to
Speaker 5: allow non citizens to vote is just the high the
Speaker 5: liberal insanity. I think that common sense will prevail. And
Speaker 5: here's the other thing. Just the administration of an election
Speaker 5: like that is going to cause problems. You have to
Speaker 5: have two separate voter registration systems, two separate sets of
Speaker 5: voting machines. Right, because non citizens can only vote in
Speaker 5: local elections. They can't vote in federal elections they're prohibited
Speaker 5: from that. And in state wide elections in New York
Speaker 5: they can't vote. So it's just a bad idea, just
Speaker 5: another in the list of bad liberal ideas related to voting.
Speaker 1: You know, this morning, the five deputy mayors in New
Speaker 1: York City all resigned in this grace. Allegedly Cuomo is
Speaker 1: going to become the next mayor. Huckel, she's a real clown.
Speaker 1: She's the governor of the state of New York. She
Speaker 1: has the power to remove Mayor Adams, to take him
Speaker 1: out of the thing completely. It's not as if New
Speaker 1: York City is so well run or I don't know
Speaker 1: about Yellow Springs. I think I was there one time,
Speaker 1: playing basketball at a college there. But nonetheless, these are
Speaker 1: far left wing groups of people that already have every
Speaker 1: politician they want on the left side to be in power.
Speaker 1: No one in Yellow Springs is a constitutional Republican. I
Speaker 1: would imagine that little city voted eighty percent for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: In New York City, you can't find a Republican with
Speaker 1: a search warrant. So it's like a solution in search
Speaker 1: of a problem. It's not as if it's not run
Speaker 1: the way they want to run those cities anyway, and
Speaker 1: so they're looking for excuses to give I guess immigrants
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. There's a big difference in my book between
Speaker 1: legal and illegal. The media doesn't make that distinction, but
Speaker 1: there's a big difference between the two. Legal immigrants can vote,
Speaker 1: they go through the process. I've sworn some in at
Speaker 1: some point down at the US Courthouse, United States District Court.
Speaker 1: It was wonderful to watch the faces of proud Americans
Speaker 1: for the first time register to vote, and the way
Speaker 1: you go, and so, Ohio, how much difficulty did you
Speaker 1: have with Yellow Springs? Did you did they actually believe
Speaker 1: that illegals could vote? What county, by the way, as
Speaker 1: Yellow Springs is that Clark County?
Speaker 5: It's Green County. And so the Green County Board of Elections. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the Green County Board of Elections called me up. This
Speaker 5: is in twenty twenty two, I believe. Green County Board
Speaker 5: of Elections called me up and said, Hey, what do
Speaker 5: we do. We've got one of our villages claiming that
Speaker 5: they're going to allow non citizens to vote. And I
Speaker 5: kind of did the all right, hold my beer, I
Speaker 5: got this. We sent a letter to the village council
Speaker 5: there and reminded them that if they are helping non
Speaker 5: citizens vote, they may actually be helping them commit a
Speaker 5: felony which makes them subject to immediate deportation. And they relented,
Speaker 5: They backed down and decided not to do this. But
Speaker 5: this is why we went to the ballot and changed
Speaker 5: the Ohio constitution, because I had a couple of lawyers
Speaker 5: whisper in my ear that you know, if the village
Speaker 5: of Yellow Springs had actually fought this and taken me
Speaker 5: to court, they might have won because it was not
Speaker 5: clear in our state constitution. Well, we fixed that a
Speaker 5: couple of years ago, and by the over seventy percent
Speaker 5: of Ohioan's voted yes to the very simple question should
Speaker 5: American elections in Ohio only be open to American citizens?
Speaker 5: It is now part of our state constitution.
Speaker 1: Well, I wonder about the other thirty percent, Right, thirty
Speaker 1: percent said.
Speaker 2: Let's let non citizens vote? What about that one?
Speaker 5: It defies common says. And here's the other problem with
Speaker 5: cities like New York. I mean, what a great American city,
Speaker 5: in many cases an international show place. When people want
Speaker 5: to visit the United States, one of the first things
Speaker 5: they want to do is go to New York City
Speaker 5: see the Statue of Liberty. And the problem is that
Speaker 5: city has been so poorly run for so long, it's
Speaker 5: given people a really bad impression of our country. I
Speaker 5: love New York City, the problem is it's a disaster
Speaker 5: right now. Don't even mention Chicago. Frank Sinatra called Chicago
Speaker 5: my kind of town. If you go there now, you
Speaker 5: don't want to walk the streets.
Speaker 1: How about Washington, DC? That should be the jewel that
Speaker 1: shines throughout the world. Ones may I use the term
Speaker 1: foreigners come here? They when look at the capital of
Speaker 1: the United States of America. Eighty percent of the city
Speaker 1: of Washington, d C. Is uninhabitable and you can't go there.
Speaker 5: One of my great joys is going for a run
Speaker 5: in Washington, d C. I love bringing my running shoes
Speaker 5: and so a couple months ago I was there in
Speaker 5: the summer. My wife said, well, what's it like. I said,
Speaker 5: imagine if a city was run by a bunch of
Speaker 5: fourteen year old boys. And I can say this having
Speaker 5: been won once.
Speaker 6: It is complete chaos.
Speaker 5: You can sleep where you want, you can take a
Speaker 5: leak where you want. I mean, there's tenths pitched everywhere,
Speaker 5: trash blowing around. It's really a nightmare. And by the way,
Speaker 5: I think that I think that Congress is going to
Speaker 5: exercise its authority to rain some of that in. Think
Speaker 5: about this. This is the place where all of the
Speaker 5: embassies are for all of our allies around the world.
Speaker 5: We can't allow DC to continue to be trashed by
Speaker 5: liberal nuffleheads.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about next week. You're going to run for
Speaker 1: State Auditor and Viveke Ramaswami. There's a couple candidates up.
Speaker 1: One is David Yost, who is serving with you one
Speaker 1: of the five constitutional offices. He's the Attorney General. He
Speaker 1: said he's going to run, and of course vivike Rama
Speaker 1: Swami he's going to announce on Monday that he's going
Speaker 1: to run. Why have you thrown your support behind Viveke
Speaker 1: Ramaswami and not David Yost.
Speaker 5: I tell you what. For me, it comes down to
Speaker 5: vision and the courage to actually execute that vision. Listen,
Speaker 5: when I was in the army, I remember there being
Speaker 5: leaders that you followed because you had to because they
Speaker 5: have more rank on their shoulder than you do. And
Speaker 5: then those leaders that you want to follow, those leaders
Speaker 5: that inspire you to be a better version of yourself.
Speaker 5: I see that same thing that we call a command presence,
Speaker 5: that leadership in Vivek Ramaswami. Not only does he have
Speaker 5: a really bold vision to make Ohio the most prosperous
Speaker 5: state in the nation, but he's got the courage to
Speaker 5: actually carry out. And this is what I see in
Speaker 5: President Trump as well. How many presidents over the years
Speaker 5: have talked about getting rid of the Department of Education
Speaker 5: or putting the US embassy in Jerusalem where it belongs. Well,
Speaker 5: you know what, Trump has actually been getting these kind
Speaker 5: of things done. But veg Ramaswami is the same kind
Speaker 5: of leader. And that's why if he runs for governor,
Speaker 5: I believe he will. I'm going to be behind them
Speaker 5: one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: And the issue of Department of Education, I read this
Speaker 1: morning that in most urban districts, a total of fifteen
Speaker 1: percent of the money that they spend, like in Cincinni
Speaker 1: Public Schools or Columbus or Toledo or Dayton, fifteen percent
Speaker 1: come from the FEDS, and that money is largely misspent.
Speaker 1: The other eighty five percent is bureaucratic expenses. There's something
Speaker 1: like ninety two thousand people that work in the Department
Speaker 1: of Education. Large buildings all over Washington Outpost and the
Speaker 1: various states and imagine those moneys being used instead of
Speaker 1: to hire people and benefits and buildings being hired to
Speaker 1: guarantee by the fourth grade, every kid in America can read.
Speaker 1: You have to learn how to read, to read to learn.
Speaker 1: If you don't learn how to read, learning the other
Speaker 1: academic disciplines or functioning in life is going to be
Speaker 1: almost impossible. And every year that goes by it gets
Speaker 1: worse and worse and worse. And the solution is to
Speaker 1: spend more money. Obviously than the one hundred and ten
Speaker 1: i'm sorry, one hundred and forty billion dollars we spend
Speaker 1: in the Department of Education is not enough. And the
Speaker 1: teachers' unions and others say, we've got to spend more money.
Speaker 1: We don't have to spend more money. I think we
Speaker 1: have great question.
Speaker 5: Yeah, go ahead, absolutely, I always that's the question.
Speaker 7: What's the mission?
Speaker 5: And the mission should be to prepare young Americans for
Speaker 5: careers and citizenship. That should be what the Department of
Speaker 5: Education does. Unfortunately, it's an abject failure at those things.
Speaker 5: The only thing it's good at is employing tens of
Speaker 5: thousands of adults and pushing a radical liberal agenda, which
Speaker 5: in many cases is anti American, and so I think
Speaker 5: that you know, if the there's federal support that needs
Speaker 5: to come to schools, just block granted to the schools
Speaker 5: and let those localities spend that those dollars. Wisely, this
Speaker 5: massive bureaucracy needs to go because it doesn't accomplish its mission.
Speaker 1: And CPS, I'm familiar with Cincinnati Public schools, like eighty
Speaker 1: percent of the kids are not performing at the eighth
Speaker 1: grade level by the time they get there in spelling,
Speaker 1: or in civic studies or English whatever it might be,
Speaker 1: or mathematics. It doesn't work. And instead of saying, okay,
Speaker 1: we have to stop this madness. You can't be fourteen
Speaker 1: years old and you can't read. We got to stop this,
Speaker 1: but they instead of doing that, they pass on to
Speaker 1: the freshman year, the sophomore year. No one fails in anything,
Speaker 1: and there's no objective evidence that any of the money
Speaker 1: being spent is actually well spent. In fact, we spend
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati about twenty thousand dollars per kid per year,
Speaker 1: and about thirty percent don't show up for class in
Speaker 1: any particular day. A shocking statistic which is disgusting, is
Speaker 1: that seventy one percent of black boys are chronically absent
Speaker 1: from school out in the world. Can you have a
Speaker 1: school system and with kids aren't in school?
Speaker 5: Well, and let's talk about this bluntly as what it is.
Speaker 5: It's perpetuating generational poverty and low expectations. This is why
Speaker 5: I think one of the great civil rights issues of
Speaker 5: our era is school choice. No child should be stuck,
Speaker 5: No parents should be stuck sending their child to a
Speaker 5: bad school simply because of what zip code you live in.
Speaker 5: And if we don't fix this issue, what we're doing
Speaker 5: is just perpetuating problems that are going to show up
Speaker 5: when these young men and women are in their teenage
Speaker 5: and twenties.
Speaker 1: And we see it constantly, and there's no resolution or idea. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're on the wrong track. We've had like four superintendents
Speaker 1: in the past five years. School board members are quitting,
Speaker 1: the teachers are fed up to hear with the bureaucracy
Speaker 1: out of Clifton where the headquarters are. Parents are not
Speaker 1: sending their kids to school, and it's okay, well, let's
Speaker 1: arrange these chairs on the Titanic depending a different result.
Speaker 1: And it begins Frank, and you're a parent, you told
Speaker 1: me off the area you just spent days and days
Speaker 1: in a volleyball tournament with a thirteen year old daughter.
Speaker 1: I think in Kansas or in Missouri out west, you
Speaker 1: cared enough in your family to transport kids there to house,
Speaker 1: clothe and feed them get them back. I would imagine
Speaker 1: by the time your kids are in the first grade,
Speaker 1: I would imagine they already know how to read or
Speaker 1: identify pictures and photos.
Speaker 2: They're literate.
Speaker 1: And so at some point, maybe we can stop the
Speaker 1: charade and say we're going to begin with the first
Speaker 1: grade in urban public schools, and we want the parents
Speaker 1: to be directly involved in the education of their children.
Speaker 1: They will support what the teachers do in school. Number one,
Speaker 1: they'll show up for school every day, the homework will
Speaker 1: be done, and if not, there's going to be consequences.
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? It makes sense.
Speaker 5: And it's about high expectations. As parents. Lauren and I
Speaker 5: have high expectations for our kids, and our kids are
Speaker 5: like any kids. They want to screw around after school
Speaker 5: that are doing their homework right, But we love them
Speaker 5: enough to take the dog on iPads and cell phones away,
Speaker 5: or turn off the TV and make them do their homework.
Speaker 5: And so there's some parental responsibility here as well.
Speaker 2: No question about it.
Speaker 8: All.
Speaker 2: We got to run.
Speaker 1: But insanity's doing the same things anticipating different results.
Speaker 2: And whether it's doze.
Speaker 1: I watch on all the shows what's happening, and the
Speaker 1: criticisms of the liberal Democrats against Donald Trump and against
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. I see the sign you can't spell Felon
Speaker 1: without Elon. If I see that sign again, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And those who have been in charge created a system
Speaker 1: of complete abuse and neglect of the American taxpayer.
Speaker 2: And how about this one lastly?
Speaker 1: GAO three years ago during the Biden regime said that
Speaker 1: every year the federal government spends between two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty to five hundred and fifty billion dollars every year
Speaker 1: as a result of waste, fraud, and abuse. Take that
Speaker 1: number over four years. That means that in the four
Speaker 1: years Biden was in office, one to two trillion.
Speaker 2: Dollars was fritted away.
Speaker 1: I have a list here of those over the age
Speaker 1: of one hundred getting Social Security checks. There's some Americans
Speaker 1: that are one hundred and fifty years old getting Social
Speaker 1: Security checks. I don't think that's accurate. I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone's one hundred and fifty years old. But the system
Speaker 1: needs complete reform and you can't keep doing the shafting
Speaker 1: anticipating a different result. Lastly, should Doge come to Ohio,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask a bank a question, explain that to me.
Speaker 2: Doze in Ohio.
Speaker 5: Absolutely so the swamp doesn't want to be drained. And
Speaker 5: that's what you see in Washington, DC right now, where
Speaker 5: all these bureaucrats are, you know, out on the streets
Speaker 5: protesting what government, what Elon Musk and President Trump are
Speaker 5: doing to actually bring government efficiency. We need to bring
Speaker 5: that same mentality to Ohio. By the way, this is
Speaker 5: why I'm running for Auditor of State. Auditor does two things.
Speaker 5: Catches crooks that are stealing money and put them in jail.
Speaker 5: Ho rah.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 5: But the other part about it is making government work
Speaker 5: more efficiently. The auditor has the power to do what's
Speaker 5: called a performance audit, meaning come in, open the hood
Speaker 5: and figure out if it's not running on all cylinders.
Speaker 5: I plan to use this office as o DOJE Ohio
Speaker 5: Department of Government Efficiency. And by the way, with a
Speaker 5: courageous leader like vivike Ramaswami in the Governor's office, we'll
Speaker 5: be able to actually reform state government to make it
Speaker 5: work better for the people.
Speaker 1: Are you going to get sideways with David Yost if
Speaker 1: you endorse his opponent? What about that one, Frank LeRose, Well.
Speaker 3: I tell you what.
Speaker 5: That's the tough nature of this business. Sometimes I like Dave,
Speaker 5: I wish him well, but you have to choose who's
Speaker 5: the best choice for Ohio. This is not about who
Speaker 5: I like the best or the most personal relationships. I
Speaker 5: like both of these guys, but this is about what's
Speaker 5: best for Ohio, the state that my children are going
Speaker 5: to grow up in, and for me, theaveke Ramaswami is
Speaker 5: the obvious choice.
Speaker 1: It's going to happen Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week.
Speaker 1: And then once again, Frank Rose three four seven one
Speaker 1: one one, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: I think we have a pretty good auditor right now
Speaker 1: with you on, with you on top for the next
Speaker 1: four years, it's going to be even better. I always
Speaker 1: take a veg, take the best and make it better.
Speaker 1: Same way with the Auditor's office. And once again, Frank Lrose,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on The Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 2: And Frank, you're a Great American.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you, sir, Keith Favors, done a great job.
Speaker 5: I can work to take it to the next level.
Speaker 5: God bless you, see you soon.
Speaker 1: Thank you Keith Favors, the current auditor. All right, thank you, Frank.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more news coming up. And by the way,
Speaker 1: it would be interesting if Doze would come to eight
Speaker 1: oh one Plump Street, or Doze would come to Cincinnati
Speaker 1: public schools.
Speaker 2: How much money is being wasted there? Wouldn't that be interesting?
Speaker 1: The doge concept needs to come to everywhere in government
Speaker 1: to wash out the waste, fraud and abuse and programs
Speaker 1: that don't work. Let's continue with more Bill cunning in
Speaker 1: The Great American Live that show them the Red Lakes
Speaker 1: back at at Big Time and good Year and more.
Speaker 1: I show them the Red's News Radio seven hundred.
Speaker 8: You have to ashur Nason just is underway and the
Speaker 8: gloves are off.
Speaker 7: Hands.
Speaker 8: You could chuck at Brandon Hagel. Hagel skated away as

Speaker 9: And I'm telling you, Sean, I'm standing down here, and
Speaker 9: I think there's zero chance that we see the puck
Speaker 9: hit the ice for more than one second before we're
Speaker 9: gonna see both Ka Chuck brothers sitting in the same
Speaker 9: penalty box.
Speaker 8: Well, Brady's out there, and Sam Bennett, who's been ruscollar
Speaker 8: lineup tonight he did not play against Sweden, is taking
Speaker 8: the face off. He's clearly in there to help match
Speaker 8: the United States. Physicality brings a lot of grid, a
Speaker 8: lot of sandpaper.

Speaker 7: the first Kachuck fight. This was set up here. You go.
Speaker 8: Sand Bennett eight years a team made of Matthew Kachuck
Speaker 8: in both Calgary and the last three in Florida, fighting
Speaker 8: Matthew's brother Brady.
Speaker 9: When the first face off was about to hit the ice,
Speaker 9: Brady kid Chuck yelled across the Bennett and he said,
Speaker 9: ain't Benny after this, We're going And so the change
Speaker 9: was made. Bennett jumped on the ice and three seconds
Speaker 9: to fights and we thought it would be a wild
Speaker 9: night here in Montreal. We're off to this start well.
Speaker 8: Matthew Kachuck was asked after the game against Finland about
Speaker 8: the building of the US anthem.
Speaker 7: He said, I don't like it.
Speaker 8: Team USA said they use it as a motivator. Coaches
Speaker 8: and players on both sides said they hold it.
Speaker 7: Wouldn't happen to it. Did it? Tells in the tongue.
Speaker 8: Charlie mccaho, I put one on it. Now we're nine
Speaker 8: seconds in. We had a fight to seconds in, another

Speaker 2: Dollars for Dela cruz sake.
Speaker 1: Scott Boras is putting that out there right now and
Speaker 1: Dela Cruz for a billion.
Speaker 10: Make your contributions when you get to the Reds Gate,
Speaker 10: when you get your tickets, go fundy page.
Speaker 1: Would they offer him one hundred million dollars now and
Speaker 1: buy out about three or four years before that to
Speaker 1: make sure he's here a year or two past the
Speaker 1: age of twenty nine.
Speaker 2: That might be smart.
Speaker 11: Wouldn't that be something that would you know, what if
Speaker 11: the Bengals can get Higgins, Higgins, Chase and Hendrickson under contract,
Speaker 11: the Reds can do that with Ellie de la Cruz
Speaker 11: and fans.
Speaker 2: Would be a static in this town.
Speaker 1: Dela Cruz could be the greatest player ever to play
Speaker 1: for the Reds. He's got all the five he's got
Speaker 1: six tools, he's got them all.
Speaker 2: He gets seven or innix.
Speaker 1: What's striking out more than one? He strikes out more
Speaker 1: than more than to strike out per game? Correct, He's
Speaker 1: got to quit doing that. I know when I played
Speaker 1: for Gordon Vetterterino, I won an entire season, didn't strike
Speaker 1: out at all.
Speaker 2: How about that? And so you have to do that.
Speaker 1: He's got to he's got to cut down on his
Speaker 1: swing size.
Speaker 2: He's got to get he's got.
Speaker 1: To be a little more strategic and when he's when
Speaker 1: he's up there at the plane.
Speaker 2: But how about a billion dollars?
Speaker 10: Also, Willy, we want to say congratulations to the local
Speaker 10: TV executive Ron Melanor aka Rufus. He just got done

Speaker 10: five great loadsome George vogel.
Speaker 1: Ogo loves to bowl and play shuffle board. That's what
Speaker 1: he now. He's retired. He's in some hall of fame again.
Speaker 2: I saw that.
Speaker 10: Rufus, congrats on rolling a perfect game of three hundred
Speaker 10: and an eight hundred series in your senior league.
Speaker 1: Segment Get me out of the Studis report coming up
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. Here is David Kubicki, who's on
Speaker 1: the Columbia Township board of Trustees. They have two facilities
Speaker 1: selling marijuana in their community, doing twenty million dollars each
Speaker 1: in business at twenty million dollars each in business, and
Speaker 1: the actions of the governor may caused those businesses to
Speaker 1: have financial difficulties because the state wants to grab more
Speaker 1: of the money.
Speaker 2: Segment.
Speaker 1: You're not high on marijuana. You're high on life and
Speaker 1: Sarah elist is that correct?
Speaker 2: Life?
Speaker 10: WILLI and outer of a cold day here at the
Speaker 10: tri stay and you need ten star quality you could feel.
Speaker 2: We leave you with the abortal words of the student report.
Speaker 5: You're dealing with dumb people.
Speaker 2: Joe Dieters calls in. He said, you're dealing with dumb people.
Speaker 2: Who's he talking about?
Speaker 6: You or me?
Speaker 7: Use marijuana?
Speaker 5: Or in the media.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Joe Dieter says, those in the media use marijuana.
Speaker 10: I guess somebody thinking, I don't know. Let's see who
Speaker 10: can we start naming.
Speaker 1: I could name a bunch of people most work and
Speaker 1: evn they're on drugs of one type or another.
Speaker 2: That's all I can tell you.
Speaker 1: Smoking the ganji, the funny weed. And see what happens
Speaker 1: with Segment A billion dollar player who t Higgins still
Speaker 1: with the Bengals. Of course, fifty million dollars for two
Speaker 1: years is not bad correct, correctly, not bad at all.
Speaker 10: Buzzy, what do he make what he made last year
Speaker 10: in the uh for the tag then he get.
Speaker 2: Like a he got like twenty one.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he gets a four million dollar raise if he
Speaker 10: does it again.
Speaker 1: Well, you can tag me all you want then, yeah,
Speaker 1: tag me tag me too please Yeah, and.
Speaker 2: Then the team's back.
Speaker 1: But according to the experts at Fox Sports this morning,
Speaker 1: the Bengals need help in the offensive line. Correct, the
Speaker 1: defensive line, right linebacker and safeties and cornerbacks and the
Speaker 1: running attack.
Speaker 2: That's what they need.
Speaker 1: Helpful And they said they've been traded the trade Higgins
Speaker 1: and get some offensive lineman.
Speaker 2: What do you think about that one?
Speaker 10: Well, wait till free agency starts and they'll start buying.
Speaker 10: They'll they'll start buying like they're in the movie Trading Places.
Speaker 1: Sell sell, sell segment. Thank you very much, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: let's continue with Mark.
Speaker 2: David coming up next.
Speaker 1: He is a township trustee that was told by the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio through you who voted for it, like
Speaker 1: fifty seven percent said yes, that the host community would
Speaker 1: get about three point six percent and the Columbia township.
Speaker 2: That's the batload of money.
Speaker 1: But when the state of Ohio realized there's going to
Speaker 1: be a billion dollars in marijuana sales this year. I
Speaker 1: set a billion, and they were going to get only
Speaker 1: one hundred million of the billion. They said, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's double the tax is if that will have no
Speaker 1: impact on the choice of those who smell smoke marijuana.
Speaker 1: I love the idea that there are thousands of Ohioans
Speaker 1: now working in the marijuana businesses thousands. And secondly, I
Speaker 1: love the idea that a billion dollars this year will
Speaker 1: be taken out of the so called dark market of
Speaker 1: drug dealers, some billion dollars. Now the state wants to
Speaker 1: put his hand in the cookie jar and invalidate the
Speaker 1: will of the voters.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happened.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't remind the state that the constitutional amendment is
Speaker 1: out there in which the state would.
Speaker 2: Be cut out completely.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more one fifty five HOMEO REDS News
Speaker 1: Radio seven hundred WLW by Billy cunning in the Great American.
Speaker 1: Of course, when there's lots of money around, you can
Speaker 1: count towards government to put his hand in the cookie jar.
Speaker 1: And about a year and a half two years ago,
Speaker 1: On's approved a system where certain cities and townships, if
Speaker 1: they would opt in, would have dispensaries within the locale
Speaker 1: of whether it's Columbia Township or Green Township or the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati. Because there was a deal made in
Speaker 1: which the local community is part of their additional expenses
Speaker 1: and cost of hosting a marijuana dispensary, would get about
Speaker 1: three point six percent of the gross At that point
Speaker 1: it was ten percent. And things open up about five
Speaker 1: or six months ago with the first sales, and some
Speaker 1: of these dispensers are doing great business. In fact, it
Speaker 1: is predicted by Ohio Marijuana Control this year that state
Speaker 1: of Ohio is going to take about one billion dollars
Speaker 1: out of the dark market. And now we're talking serious
Speaker 1: money that drug dealers. The billion dollars are not going
Speaker 1: to receive unless it's changed. And your friend and mine,
Speaker 1: Governor Mike DeWine and Speaker of the House Matt Huffman
Speaker 1: want to redirect the money away from cities and away
Speaker 1: from townships that approved it and put it into a
Speaker 1: larger state fund which would include things like jail construction
Speaker 1: and peace officer training and law enforcement training, drivers, education.
Speaker 2: And schools.
Speaker 1: So because this is going to generate like one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars in the year twenty twenty five unless the
Speaker 1: tax goes up double or triple, in which case who
Speaker 1: knows what the sales are going to be. And some
Speaker 1: of the cities and the townships are crying an uncle
Speaker 1: because that's not the deal. In fact, Jordan, you and
Speaker 1: I now is the president of the Columbia Township Trustee Association,
Speaker 1: David Kubicki. He said, quote, we never would have allowed
Speaker 1: recreational marijuana in our community, which is Columbia Township, if
Speaker 1: there is not a local host sharing agreement. David Kubicki says,
Speaker 1: quote that's why we did it. We truly feel like
Speaker 1: we got bait and switched quote unquote. And Dwine wants
Speaker 1: to take the tax from ten percent up to twenty
Speaker 1: and Matt Huffman speagure out wants to have a fifty
Speaker 1: percent increase to fifteen percent, which would freeze a lot
Speaker 1: of people out of the market and force them to
Speaker 1: go into shall I say, the pockets and the drug
Speaker 1: dealers joining you and I now is the same David Kubicki.
Speaker 1: So David Kubicki is the president of Columbia Township. You're
Speaker 1: and voicing the concerns of many municipalities and many townships
Speaker 1: in Ohio. You were sold one thing and delivered another.
Speaker 1: How much of a loss would this be for Columbia Township?
Speaker 1: If the state came in and took that three point
Speaker 1: six percent of sales and sent it off to Columbus.
Speaker 6: It would be a big d But first, Willie, thanks
Speaker 6: for having me. I've known you for a long time.
Speaker 6: This is my first time being in the show, so
Speaker 6: I honored to be on with the Great American. I
Speaker 6: want to apologetically tell you that, without question, we never
Speaker 6: would have done these deals. This is what we counted
Speaker 6: on to keep our taxes at Bay, pay our bills,
Speaker 6: and more importantly, it's what we told our voters that
Speaker 6: for anybody that was philosophically or whatever opposed to marijuana.
Speaker 6: And by the way, I've never smoked marijuana in my life,
Speaker 6: I just come with an open objective mind. And then
Speaker 6: when you looked at the revenue sharing agreement that was
Speaker 6: delivered where we would in essence get three point six
Speaker 6: percent of the state revenues that was voted in by
Speaker 6: the voters on Issue two, we looked at it, We
Speaker 6: reviewed it with our law director, we put it in
Speaker 6: our budget, then we went out on a road show
Speaker 6: and sold it to our voters that hey, guys, whether
Speaker 6: you like medical or excuse me, adult use marijuana or not.
Speaker 6: Fifty eight percent of the people in the state of
Speaker 6: Ohio voted to approve it, roughly and seventy two percent
Speaker 6: in our community voted forward. So we need to embrace
Speaker 6: that change and go do it's in our best interest.
Speaker 6: And by the way, there's a revenue stream that comes
Speaker 6: in that's going to help us in deer ways, soft
Speaker 6: our needs for levy, boast of our law enforcement, most
Speaker 6: of our safety services. That's what we saw in an
Speaker 6: issue fifty six came up where they said they're going
Speaker 6: to bump the revenue sharing agreement up from ten percent
Speaker 6: to fifteen percent, but then they're going to cut out
Speaker 6: that local host agreement. And that's why I'm on your show.
Speaker 6: That's a problem in so many ways, catastrophic for our
Speaker 6: community financially, politically, it's just a disaster. They can't know
Speaker 6: the rules.
Speaker 1: David KUBICKI, like you, I've never smoked pot. I've been
Speaker 1: around people that have, and I think it's a bad
Speaker 1: health decision because your lungs are affected. It's like smoking
Speaker 1: cigarettes on steroids. Don't like any of it. The difficulty
Speaker 1: is Americans living in Ohio fifty eight percent said let's
Speaker 1: do it. Some communities like yours seventy two percent said
Speaker 1: let's do it because it's going to defer a township
Speaker 1: expenses and lower the taxes.
Speaker 2: Of the residents.
Speaker 1: Right now, there's about five to seven thousand Americans working
Speaker 1: in the three aspects of marijuana or whether it's the dispensary,
Speaker 1: whether it's processing or growth. It's a huge industry. There's
Speaker 1: five to seven thousand people working in Ohio paying taxes,
Speaker 1: raising families in the industry that otherwise would not be
Speaker 1: doing that. Marijuana control there's going to be a billion
Speaker 1: dollars in the year twenty twenty five taken out of
Speaker 1: the drug dealer market, which I think is a positive.
Speaker 1: There's some level of confidence that when you buy marijuana
Speaker 1: from the state, in a sense that won't be filled
Speaker 1: with fentanyls, so it is safer for a marijuana user. However,
Speaker 1: Mike DeWine wants to double take a ten percent excise
Speaker 1: tax on the product up to twenty percent, which is
Speaker 1: going to hurt. I think it's going to When I
Speaker 1: talk to marijuana users, they tell me I'll just go
Speaker 1: back to my friendly drug dealer and not give any
Speaker 1: money to the state. So they had a golden goose,
Speaker 1: thousands of people employed, paying millions of dollars in taxes.
Speaker 1: They have hundreds of dispensaries, they have huge processors, they
Speaker 1: have huge those that are growing it. And it's now
Speaker 1: the state looks at a billion dollar business and twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five or more, and the state's now saying, well,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of money there that we can use
Speaker 1: for jail construction, we can use for poison control and
Speaker 1: lab testing, we can use for driver education programs. But
Speaker 1: do you have a dish no expenses like in Columbia
Speaker 1: Township or Green Township or the City of Cincinnati, because
Speaker 1: the dispensaries are there, don't you have additional expenses that
Speaker 1: must be deferred?
Speaker 6: Uh? Wellly, that's hard to define. But to the extent
Speaker 6: that I've heard others use those words in some of
Speaker 6: the testimony they had for in proposing in their death
Speaker 6: their testimony to support Issue fifty six, they said that
Speaker 6: there might be more to law enforcement. There might be
Speaker 6: societal impacts, there might be economic development impacts, and I
Speaker 6: suppose what that means is law enforcements obvious. But if
Speaker 6: they take the money back to Columbus, that there's a
Speaker 6: nine to one one cullt. We're not calling Columbus, They're
Speaker 6: calling the Great Columbia Township at our local Hamilton County
Speaker 6: Police Department, as well as our safety services of the
Speaker 6: Little Miami Fire District. And as far as the economic
Speaker 6: development impact, I guess you could say that if a
Speaker 6: marijuana coney goes here, maybe another business might not want
Speaker 6: to be there. If there's not a rev a new
Speaker 6: stream which was agreed to and promised, we never would
Speaker 6: have done that deal. So the reason why you do it,
Speaker 6: And candidly, this isn't unique to marijuana. I mean, what
Speaker 6: we're talking about here is is the voters have spoken.
Speaker 6: And I listened to your interview with Governor DeLine on
Speaker 6: your station that I think it took place on Friday,
Speaker 6: and he mentions on some hands that this is a
Speaker 6: country of voters where votes matter, and in some regards
Speaker 6: that he's going to respect the will of the voters.
Speaker 6: But then he also goes on to say, I don't
Speaker 6: quite think they understood what exactly they were voting for
Speaker 6: in terms of the revenue streams. Well, I'll say this,
Speaker 6: what other issue, whatever judge, whatever person you're voting on,
Speaker 6: you're listening to commercials. It's almost impossible for any voter
Speaker 6: to be one hundred percent engaged. Must you read every document,
Speaker 6: attend every meeting, which is virtually impossible. So to some extent,
Speaker 6: even go look at the presidential election. You go vote
Speaker 6: for Trump because he's going to make America great, be
Speaker 6: the greatest ever. And don't vote for Trump because he's
Speaker 6: going to be terrible and it's going to be threat
Speaker 6: to democracy. Both things can't be true. Somebody is conflicted
Speaker 6: and misinformed, but still the elections mattered. You get elected,
Speaker 6: you win, and that's what happens. So we need to
Speaker 6: respect the fact that the voters voted for issue too,
Speaker 6: and that included the host agreement with the local communities.
Speaker 6: You cannot change the rules. You can't midstream if no
Speaker 6: wonder the line wants to change the rules, the rules
Speaker 6: in the future, and then see who in the future
Speaker 6: wants to open up a recreational marijuana clinic with no
Speaker 6: new revenue source. That's different. But you can't go into
Speaker 6: the people that are already there, our clinics are already
Speaker 6: open and say you no longer get the revenues.
Speaker 1: Well, at this point, when I had on Governor de Wine,
Speaker 1: he said, look, there were some townships or cities that
Speaker 1: did not vote to do this, and therefore it's not
Speaker 1: fair to them that they don't participate in the revenue
Speaker 1: stream for marijuana. But my point would be My point
Speaker 1: to the governor was, look, it's the voters in those
Speaker 1: townships had the availability right now. Sycamore Township does not
Speaker 1: have a marijuana dispensary, but Columbia Township does. I think
Speaker 1: the city of Norwood does not. I think the City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati does. And so the argument, well, it's like
Speaker 1: a lottery system almost some benefits, some do not, whether
Speaker 1: people have the right to decide to benefit or not
Speaker 1: to benefit. And it's local control. And so I think
Speaker 1: the people a Columbia Township know a lot more about
Speaker 1: running Columbia Township than the governor of Ohio or the
Speaker 1: speaker of the House of Representatives. What I see this
Speaker 1: as is a power grab and taking money out of
Speaker 1: the local governments because no one thought there'd be a
Speaker 1: billion dollars in marijuana sales in one year. So if
Speaker 1: there's a ten percent tax, that'd be one hundred million,
Speaker 1: and if there's a twenty percent additional tax, that'd be
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars. Now you're talking about money. But
Speaker 1: maybe Mike DeWine and Matt Huffman just philosophically or opposed
Speaker 1: to marijuana. They voted against it personally, neither one of
Speaker 1: the guys wanted and so what they want to do
Speaker 1: is make it more expensive to buy legal pot, which
Speaker 1: means that the user will turn to the dark market
Speaker 1: and fund drug dealers, which we don't want. So do
Speaker 1: you buy the argument that what the township next to yours?
Speaker 1: David Kubecki did not vote to have it, so why
Speaker 1: should you benefit it not the other township?
Speaker 2: Well, what's the response to that one?
Speaker 6: Well, you go, look and go when Mason Lands Proctor
Speaker 6: and Gamble, or Union Township lends TQL or Sycamore Towns
Speaker 6: lends and another office building with the revenue sources or
Speaker 6: blueless god knows how much money they have to build
Speaker 6: direct centers. I guess they want the lottery. So do
Speaker 6: they come share that with all the other local communities.
Speaker 6: I mean the pretty girls get they asked the dance first.
Speaker 6: There is a winner and a loser. And there's also,
Speaker 6: like you said, the voluntary decision whether you're going to
Speaker 6: choose to have it or not. So yes, that happens
Speaker 6: everywhere and everything. Developers buy land all the time, hoping
Speaker 6: they land somebody big that they can profit from. But
Speaker 6: I can assure you, no matter what what deal you're
Speaker 6: putting together, Willie, whether it's an office building in ken
Speaker 6: with the great Sycamore Township or a marijuana clinic here,
Speaker 6: if there's no revenue source, and you've certainly been in
Speaker 6: some of those Sycamore Township meetings, there's opposition against office building,
Speaker 6: for traffic, for noise, for lighting, or for what have you.
Speaker 6: If there's not an economic development, forget marijuana, there's no
Speaker 6: reason to put them there. And you cannot take away
Speaker 6: those revenue sources from the host communities. You just can't.
Speaker 6: It wouldn't make any sense for them to do it.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: The other point is this that it was passed as
Speaker 1: an initiative, which is a statue proposed by the so
Speaker 1: called people of the state. The other alternative is a
Speaker 1: constitutional amendment, and for those who have invested so much
Speaker 1: in these businesses millions and millions of dollars. The next
Speaker 1: step they would take would be a constitutional amendment, much
Speaker 1: like the abortion thing. Mike DeWine tried to put together
Speaker 1: a sixteen to twenty week ban even though he's opposed
Speaker 1: to abortion m from day one, but he couldn't get
Speaker 1: it pa and let the people decide whether the people decided.
Speaker 1: Now we have abortion through birth. We have a more
Speaker 1: liberal abortion law roe vers than roe versus weighed because
Speaker 1: it was a constitutional amendment. So if this thing is
Speaker 1: ran through and local communities like yours lose out, then
Speaker 1: what's going to happen is those that are don't want
Speaker 1: to pay two hundred million dollars a year in taxes
Speaker 1: will make it a constitutional amendment. Put that on the ballot,
Speaker 1: and then that's going to pass by greater than fifty
Speaker 1: eight percent. Then the state will have no money, and
Speaker 1: Columbia Township would have no money. The City of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: we have no money because you put it on the ballot.
Speaker 1: People don't read the fans and the butts. It's going
Speaker 1: to be Are you in favor of recreational marijuana?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Or no?
Speaker 2: People are going to vote yes. Hell, I'd vote yes.
Speaker 1: I'd voted yes on state issue too, because I thought
Speaker 1: it was a revenue stream. It was happening anyway, so
Speaker 1: the local communities can benefit. But do you think the
Speaker 1: state officials like Matt Huffman, Speaker who's got more power
Speaker 1: in than maybe than the governor has, and Mike de
Speaker 1: Wine understand that the other shoot to drop would be
Speaker 1: a constitutional amendment, then government would be out of it completely.
Speaker 6: Well, Willie, I'm an eternal optimist and I firmly believe,
Speaker 6: as I always say to my team, this may defy
Speaker 6: what most politicians says. I'm one fact away from changing
Speaker 6: my mind. And that's part of why I'm on your
Speaker 6: show is maybe the hears the boots on the ground
Speaker 6: testimony of us going out pleading to our voters and saying,
Speaker 6: let's go do this and here's why, and the changing
Speaker 6: and I'm hoping Governor de Wine hears this and says,
Speaker 6: you know, I really didn't quite see that. And the
Speaker 6: same with with with Speaker Huffman, that they go see
Speaker 6: this and go you know what I always say that
Speaker 6: you know, I'm open minded and one fact away from
Speaker 6: changing my mind, and I'm hoping that they have the
Speaker 6: ability that doesn't make you wish you was she, that
Speaker 6: does not make you a flip plopper. I know those
Speaker 6: tags get you know, hit in politics, but it makes
Speaker 6: you open minded and objective, and I hope they see
Speaker 6: it that way. And Governor Well, I'm certainly for himself
Speaker 6: to be a decent guy. I know you've represented, You've
Speaker 6: known him for a long time and have a great
Speaker 6: respect for him. I've met him one time where they
Speaker 6: can't say I don't know him that well, but he
Speaker 6: seems like an honorable guy. I'm hoping they hear this
Speaker 6: and do the right thing and follow the rules and
Speaker 6: don't leave us local politicians, our local communities holding the
Speaker 6: bag when we went to bat for this for the
Speaker 6: benefit of not only our community, but for Hamilton County
Speaker 6: and by proxy, the entire state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: Lastly, David Kuovic, would you say, would you say that
Speaker 1: your dispensary in Columbia Township is working as intended, that
Speaker 1: there's not massive lawlessness, there's not robberies, there's not traffic jams.
Speaker 1: And when I talk to those around the around the
Speaker 1: Hamilton County, Butler County, they're working. They're fine. They're businesses
Speaker 1: in which adults are working. People are buying marijuana. The
Speaker 1: state's getting their their beak wet a little bit. And
Speaker 1: it's a functional business. And at this point, isn't it
Speaker 1: working for Columbia Township even though you've not seen the
Speaker 1: money yet.
Speaker 6: Yes, it's working force working very well. As you say,
Speaker 6: it's regulated, it's professional, it's keeping the stuff out of
Speaker 6: the hands of the drug dealers, what have you. I
Speaker 6: know it's medical and recks a little bit different, but yes,
Speaker 6: it's working. One other thing I wways say is Columbia
Speaker 6: townshen is in a unique opportunity because we have two clinics,
Speaker 6: and those clinics, this may shock everybody, do about twenty
Speaker 6: million dollars a year in revenues at twenty million each,
Speaker 6: and then they're projected to probably jump by fifty percent
Speaker 6: by their projection, instead'd be thirty million each. So if
Speaker 6: you go look at sixty million dollars two point six
Speaker 6: or three point six percent of what we're supposed to get,
Speaker 6: that's a two million dollar opportunity virtually at the beginning
Speaker 6: for our community. And that's what we budgeted for this week.
Speaker 6: We promised our taxpayers. It is real money. It's not
Speaker 6: make belief. We've seen it firsthand and yes, it is working.
Speaker 1: Now in Columbia Township doesn't have large office buildings, doesn't
Speaker 1: have a lot of the revenue streams, and this is
Speaker 1: a big deal to people who live in Columbia Township
Speaker 1: to keep their taxes low. And for those who didn't
Speaker 1: participate on the front end, that's their choice. They could
Speaker 1: now participate now, they could change their laws and Sycamore
Speaker 1: Township for municipality and say okay, we're going to have
Speaker 1: it now and we'll see what happens down the road.
Speaker 1: But David Kobecki, I hope Matt Huffman and Mike DeWine
Speaker 1: understand that if they ram this thing through, it's going
Speaker 1: to anger a lot of people who will promised one
Speaker 1: thing then delivered another. And secondly, the Constitutional Amendment is
Speaker 1: out there which would take government out of it almost
Speaker 1: completely when it comes to revenue, and that's a no
Speaker 1: one's best interest. With David Kobicki President Columbia Township, we
Speaker 1: got to run. But thanks for giving us your perspective,
Speaker 1: and David, you're a great American, and thanks for coming
Speaker 1: on the bill.
Speaker 2: Cunningham Show. Thank you, David, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: All right, let's continue with more. The state sees a
Speaker 1: billion dollars or more in revenue. The state sees ten
Speaker 1: percent of that's only one hundred million. The state says, well,
Speaker 1: twenty percent would be two hundred million, and that's a
Speaker 1: source of revenue. But that's not what we promised. Let's
Speaker 1: continue with more news. Next to trom of the Reds
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred l.
Speaker 8: Our Nason, here's face just U is underway and the
Speaker 8: gloves are off hands to Kachuk At Brandon Hagel. Hegel
Speaker 8: skated away as he got backed up, deploying the crowd
Speaker 8: to get even more vocally involved, if that's possible. And
Speaker 8: this start, as you can call it, that that we
Speaker 8: even started reminiscent of.
Speaker 2: The old days.
Speaker 7: Little chant that started hanging up to Kachunk drop right
Speaker 7: off the hallway.
Speaker 9: And I'm telling you, Sean, I'm standing down here, and
Speaker 9: I think there's zero chance that we see the puck
Speaker 9: hit the ice for more than one second before we're
Speaker 9: gonna see both Kachuck brothers sitting in this penalty box.
Speaker 8: Brady's out there and Sam Bennett who's been first collar
Speaker 8: lineup tonight. He did not play against Sweden. Is taking
Speaker 8: the face off. He's clearly in there to help match
Speaker 8: the United States. Physicality brings a lot of grid, a
Speaker 8: lot of sandpaper.
Speaker 7: This was this was set there. They come right, you're
Speaker 7: right right before the first Ku Chuck fight, this was
Speaker 7: set up.
Speaker 8: Here you go, Sam Bennett eight years a team made
Speaker 8: of Matthew Kachuck in both Calgary and the last three
Speaker 8: in Florida, fighting Matthew's brother Brady.
Speaker 9: When the first face off puts a boat to hit
Speaker 9: the ice, Brady kid Chuck yelled across the Bennett and
Speaker 9: he said.
Speaker 7: Ain't Benny after this, We're going And so the change
Speaker 7: was made.
Speaker 9: Bennett jumped on the ice and three seconds to fights
Speaker 9: and we thought it would be a wild night here
Speaker 9: in Montreal.
Speaker 7: We're off to this start well.
Speaker 8: Matthew kit Chuck was asked after the game against Finland
Speaker 8: about the building of the US anthem.
Speaker 7: He said, I don't like it.
Speaker 8: Team USA said they use it as a motivator. Coaches
Speaker 8: and players on both sides said they hope it.
Speaker 7: Wouldn't happen tonight. It did it ts in the tongue
Speaker 7: Charlie macavoy put one on net. Now we're nine seconds in.
Speaker 8: We had a fight tube seconds in, another one one
Speaker 8: second later. Now in the center of the accident's called
Speaker 8: Baraco and JT.
Speaker 7: Miller. Breco's got a big size advantage. Miller's a tough dude.
Speaker 9: And this is like nineteen ninety six when this building
Speaker 9: opened up with the world top.
Speaker 2: He yet and I'm spoken broadcasting.
Speaker 3: Rock.
Speaker 1: Have you thought about playing hockey instead of football? Or
Speaker 1: maybe what about that?
Speaker 2: You know what's interesting.
Speaker 12: I have never in my life been on a pair
Speaker 12: of skates, and that means roller skates, ice skates, nothing, nothing,
Speaker 12: can't do it, won't do it.
Speaker 2: I tried it once, can't do it. Won't do it
Speaker 2: ever again. Segment.
Speaker 10: You scored against me in that celebrity game years ago.
Speaker 10: Remember Jerry Springer was the other goaltender.
Speaker 1: Well a little bit. I didn't know whether to shoot
Speaker 1: towards Springer or shoot towards you. I thought it'd be
Speaker 1: easier to shoot towards you. A Springer, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He looked goofy in that outfit. Well, he looked like
Speaker 1: he was about ten feet tall.
Speaker 10: He looked like a gigantic Ken Dryden in the net
Speaker 10: and my little rear end and that other and at
Speaker 10: the other end, and I'm going, and Chris Sable, let
Speaker 10: one go from the point. Yes, I think, I think
Speaker 10: there's the hole was still there and right in the
Speaker 10: middle of my gut.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I thought I got it right to the goal it was.
Speaker 10: I mean, it came at me, and I mean that
Speaker 10: puck just came, getting bigger and wider, and I'm going,
Speaker 10: it's just gonna it's going to take my head off.
Speaker 2: You don't say.
Speaker 1: But played a lot of hockey, but I'm watching a
Speaker 1: lot of the ESPN this morning taking the Bengals to
Speaker 1: task for not having signed Jamar Chase last year and
Speaker 1: then get him off the boards, and then it's going
Speaker 1: to cost him thirty to fifty million dollars. It's their mistake,
Speaker 1: not yours in mind. But now they're saying t Higgins,
Speaker 1: the experts say, why sign him, trade him away and
Speaker 1: get some offensive linemen or defensive help.
Speaker 2: What do you say about getting rid of Tea?
Speaker 12: You could make the case that t Higgins is going
Speaker 12: to be the most sought after free agent in the
Speaker 12: entire NFL this year, right, And then This is why
Speaker 12: it's such a killer that Jermaine Burton didn't work out
Speaker 12: even a little bit.
Speaker 2: Had he been a little bit showed a few promising things.
Speaker 12: Okay, now we can trade away or let t go
Speaker 12: get some capital for him, that sort of thing. But
Speaker 12: I think right now, there's so many holes. So you
Speaker 12: got to keep together your your firepower. And so I
Speaker 12: guess Corny and Sames repeating, and by the way, we
Speaker 12: have him at four o'clock as the tag window opens
Speaker 12: up at four o'clock. According to him and his research,
Speaker 12: the Bengals planned to franchise t Higgins and the reports
Speaker 12: are also they're going to sign Hendrickson and Jamar Chase.
Speaker 2: So money money, Well, you know.
Speaker 1: Trey raised a lot of money a few days ago
Speaker 1: for Deer Park High School. Most of the great players
Speaker 1: like Luke Keighley would come to der Park to help
Speaker 1: us raise money. But discussions were head. He's confident he's
Speaker 1: going to have a three year deal, whatever it might be.
Speaker 1: That'd be great. But on the other hand, the Bengals,
Speaker 1: the window is wide open. To keep t Higgins of
Speaker 1: course would be a luxury, but then they got a draft. Properly,
Speaker 1: you've pointed out the last three drafts they've had not
Speaker 1: one player have an impact.
Speaker 2: Is that correct on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2: I think you'd make that argument.
Speaker 12: Whereas you look at the Eagles and what they did
Speaker 12: not super Bowl, They just nailed draft pick after draft
Speaker 12: pick the past four or five years. And when you
Speaker 12: now the draft picks, then you have then you have
Speaker 12: the the option to be able to go and get
Speaker 12: the missing piece or missing two pieces and spend some
Speaker 12: big money to get it.
Speaker 2: Just can't be spending money and getting five and six players.
Speaker 12: Look now that Eagles defense was historically good, so that's
Speaker 12: a it's a hard.
Speaker 2: Thing to do well. They did, but they did it
Speaker 2: and that needs to be the game player segment.
Speaker 10: Get me into the Stute Report, please, will he The
Speaker 10: Stuote Report is a proud service every local Tamestar heating
Speaker 10: and air conditioning dealers Tamestar quality you could feel in
Speaker 10: beautiful Western Hills called Derbt Heating and Cooling at five one, three,
Speaker 10: five nine, eight eighty four forty nine or go to.
Speaker 2: Derbit Heating and Cooling dot com.
Speaker 10: But if they tag t Higgins today, Willie, he will
Speaker 10: play for a salary of twenty six point one seven
Speaker 10: million dollars for twenty twenty five, a four million dollar
Speaker 10: raise right from last year.
Speaker 12: Yeah no, but but they're gonna they're gonna try to
Speaker 12: sign him to a long term deal. Last year he
Speaker 12: was the only player that was tagged that did not
Speaker 12: receive a long term deal in the NFL.
Speaker 10: But they did sign punter Ryan Rico today to a
Speaker 10: two year contract extension Bengals apparently worth millions.
Speaker 1: The other thing I want, I'm watching all the analysis.
Speaker 1: The Eagles have maybe the best GM in football. They
Speaker 1: have three assistant gms. They have eighteen scouts, and the
Speaker 1: Bengals have one GM Mike Brown and Paul H. Brown
Speaker 1: maybe and they have three instead of eighteen. Isn't that
Speaker 1: a factor?
Speaker 2: It would be. Yeah, I certainly make that argument.
Speaker 12: The more eyeballs you have looking at players and evaluating players,
Speaker 12: I think would be the better. This is the new
Speaker 12: age of the NFL. It's so lucrative. There's the money
Speaker 12: to spend on such resources because the rewards are so high.
Speaker 2: Now you wonder why the Bengals wouldn't do it. Well, segment,
Speaker 2: give me more sports and make it quick.
Speaker 10: Well, leave the Reds We're gonna go with All Star
Speaker 10: East Hunter Green and Graham Ashcraft when they open up
Speaker 10: the Cactus League schedule this Saturday in the split squad
Speaker 10: spring openers in Arizona. The Reds are going to go

Speaker 10: under WLW. That's when the Hunter Green starts, and then
Speaker 10: Graham Ashcraft will go up against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 2: McLean, what about McLean? He's all right, McClean, Matt mcclein. No,
Speaker 2: Matt mcclean's okay. Nobody, nobody about Cincinnati.
Speaker 7: What a team?
Speaker 10: What a team?
Speaker 7: A team?
Speaker 10: What about Freddie Montoss? What about mon Toss? Montoss is hurt,
Speaker 10: He is out some. He is out until maybe May as.
Speaker 10: Montas had signed a two year, thirty four million dollar
Speaker 10: deal with the New York Mets. He has a high
Speaker 10: grade latch train. He has left spring training going back
Speaker 10: to New York City for treatment.
Speaker 12: How you get a high grade latch train if you're
Speaker 12: a conditioned supreme athlete, how do you get a high
Speaker 12: lat spring?

Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Or how are we looking? Segment?
Speaker 2: Please continue Hello, Hello.
Speaker 12: By the way, next year rock back to that punter
Speaker 12: of the Bengals sign I have always said that an
Speaker 12: NFL punter is arguably the greatest gig that there is.
Speaker 2: There's no pressure to miss.
Speaker 12: Field goals or make a last second field goal to
Speaker 12: win a game or lose a game. If you got
Speaker 12: the ability and you're competent, and you stay up on
Speaker 12: your your fitness and your health, that's the greatest gig.
Speaker 2: We can do that for fifteen plus years.
Speaker 6: What the uh?
Speaker 2: And they and sometimes they don't even punt, but.
Speaker 12: Yeah like once, yeah, well that's a good points and
Speaker 12: more with all the analytics out there, they're going for
Speaker 12: fourth down, more and more than they ever have.
Speaker 2: Right, that's a great gig. You can get it. I
Speaker 2: wonder what he makes probably two years about ten million,
Speaker 2: I don't know. And it makes millions, doesn't he?
Speaker 10: I would say so if he's a young kicker. He
Speaker 10: led the he led all rookies at forty nine yards
Speaker 10: per A great weapon.
Speaker 2: You got to have a good one. I mean they
Speaker 2: had money, well.
Speaker 10: Spend as Pat mcannelly for years and uh then who
Speaker 10: was the guy they just uh they just had their Yeah,
Speaker 10: a great guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, so it's a great gig and mean and if
Speaker 1: you get hit, it's a penalty automatically.
Speaker 2: Yeah, touch not bad. Gotta have a good long snapper.
Speaker 2: Clark Harris, Yeah, you know a long time talk about
Speaker 2: the Baltimore game there. Anyway, say give me some more sports.
