Speaker 1: With much ado about everything on this Friday, March seventh,
Speaker 1: Gary Jeff Walker in for Bill Cunningham on the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. How you doing. We get right off to
Speaker 1: the races here with our first guests. We don't want
Speaker 1: Tim spending any more time than he has to with
Speaker 1: us this afternoon, but he's always kind enough, generous enough
Speaker 1: to give him give us some of his time. Entrepreneur, businessman,
Speaker 1: a former senatorial and gubernatorial candidate in the state of Ohio,
Speaker 1: former congressman, and now our pundit for the next few minutes.
Speaker 1: Jim or Nacy on the line. Jim, good afternoon. How
Speaker 1: are you doing today?
Speaker 2: Gary?
Speaker 1: How are you? You know what? Just surviving. I've got
Speaker 1: a little rant coming after we get done talking, but
Speaker 1: I'll save that. I'll save that for later. So I
Speaker 1: just wanted to ask you in the wake of the
Speaker 1: basically the jointed rest to the Joint Session of Congress
Speaker 1: that the President had on Tuesday night, which makes up
Speaker 1: in the first part of a term for a state
Speaker 1: of the Union, that's essentially what it is, and the
Speaker 1: Democrats' actions there, did you find them particularly surprising? I
Speaker 1: did not. This is exactly what I expected from the
Speaker 1: Democrats when President Trump spoke, well, yeah, I got.
Speaker 2: To admit I was a little bit shocked. If I
Speaker 2: was a Democrat, I would just sit there and be
Speaker 2: quiet in the sense that, you know, we have a
Speaker 2: lot of things going on right now. Let President Trump
Speaker 2: have his day, move forward, let's see what happens with
Speaker 2: the economy. Now's not the time to get in the
Speaker 2: middle of this. But of course they could not resist,
Speaker 2: couldn't help me, and they put the signs up, which
Speaker 2: was ridiculous. You know, the statement by Representative Green was ridiculous.
Speaker 2: All of this just shows that that, you know, it
Speaker 2: just makes for a circus. And by the way, for
Speaker 2: your listeners, we got to remember that just a year
Speaker 2: ago we had Marjorie Taylor Green and Bobert screaming and
Speaker 2: hollering at Biden. This is not what the state of
Speaker 2: the Union is supposed to be. It's supposed to be
Speaker 2: where the House and the Senate sit there and whoever
Speaker 2: the president is, give them the courtesy of speaking without
Speaker 2: without These outbursts that are that occur have definitely been
Speaker 2: occurring over the last few years.
Speaker 1: Well, this is the first time anyone has ever been
Speaker 1: removed from a from a presidential address to a joint
Speaker 1: session of Congress or a State of the Union address
Speaker 1: with al Green being escorted off the floor unceremoniously and
Speaker 1: then the ensuing censure. You're right about Lauren Bobert and
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green last year. I remember the yelling at
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Maybe they were just yelling because maybe you
Speaker 1: had our time hearing. I'm not sure, but you're right.
Speaker 1: Let's be fair about that. I want to know if
Speaker 1: you think, just as an observer of the last twenty
Speaker 1: five years or so in American politics, because they are
Speaker 1: all these pundits saying that the Democrat Democrat Party has lost,
Speaker 1: they have no leadership, and they're rudderless, and it looks
Speaker 1: like they may lose the mid terms, and that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's long ways off, and a lot can happen between
Speaker 1: now and then. But isn't it a lot the way
Speaker 1: the Democrat the Republican Party was in two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight after the crash and President Obama was elected and
Speaker 1: had a so called mandate for the Democrats, and people
Speaker 1: were saying that the Republican Party doesn't have any leadership,
Speaker 1: don't know, they may not survive I remember hearing the
Speaker 1: same kind of talk then as I'm hearing about Democrats now,
Speaker 1: you remember that that way as well.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And by the way, it happened in twenty twelve
Speaker 2: as well, when I was serving in Congress and Republicans
Speaker 2: allowed the government to shut down and people were saying,
Speaker 2: the Republican Party has no leadership, Republican Party has lost.
Speaker 2: So it played out again in twenty twelve, and we
Speaker 2: had to rebuild ourselves pretty quickly back. You know, the
Speaker 2: Democrats were going to say that about them. But the
Speaker 2: problem is, politics is a day to day change, a
Speaker 2: thirty day I always tell people, you can talk about
Speaker 2: who's running for governor in twenty twenty six or who's
Speaker 2: running for Senate in twenty twenty six today, but none
Speaker 2: of that matters because there'll be so many things occur
Speaker 2: between now and November twenty twenty six that politics is
Speaker 2: really a thirty day game. And it'll be interesting to
Speaker 2: see what happens in the next thirty days. If all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, tariffs cause the economy to start to
Speaker 2: creator and we start to have problems, you know, then
Speaker 2: the American people and Democrats will come out and say, ah,
Speaker 2: the Republicans don't a true leader. It'll go back and
Speaker 2: forth until the election day and this is just politics.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and it's been quite a wild ride for
Speaker 1: the first forty five days of Trump's second term, to
Speaker 1: say the least. But a lot has been accomplished, and
Speaker 1: a lot of what he campaigned on is getting done,
Speaker 1: or at least there's motivation, you know, moving towards that
Speaker 1: direction for President Trump's agenda. You're talking about that thirty
Speaker 1: day kind of game and how it shifts back and forth.
Speaker 1: But the first forty five days have been pretty impressive
Speaker 1: to most of the American people because all of the
Speaker 1: approval polling is talking about the president being above fifty
Speaker 1: percent overall, but seventy six percent according to a CBS
Speaker 1: poll approved of the address on Tuesday night. Sixty nine
Speaker 1: percent approve of what President Trump has been doing to
Speaker 1: this point. And you're right about the economy and the
Speaker 1: tariffs and all the uncertainty there. Markets don't like uncertainty, obviously,
Speaker 1: they tend to be very knee jerk. In a lot
Speaker 1: less a frame of time than you know, thirty days.
Speaker 1: From week to week, the markets can be volatile depending
Speaker 1: on what happens but I also think that, like I said,
Speaker 1: we've got a head start here on a lot of
Speaker 1: the Trump agenda that he campaigned on, and I think
Speaker 1: people are seeing that. Tell me, if you think that
Speaker 1: people the main reason it's been so positive so far
Speaker 1: among the majority of Americans is because he has been
Speaker 1: fulfilling things that he said he was going to do
Speaker 1: in the campaign trail.
Speaker 2: Well, a great thing about President Trump is he's definitely
Speaker 2: he's definitely opening up people's eyes. Now again, it's not
Speaker 2: that people didn't know that before, whether was the Grace
Speaker 2: Report by Reagan, whether it was the Rand Paul Report
Speaker 2: showing all this waste and abuse, and people probably don't
Speaker 2: realize that even in twenty seventeen or eighteen, President Trump
Speaker 2: attempted to cut spending in the government and that got
Speaker 2: pushed back because of the Empowerment Act back then.
Speaker 1: Too. Well, people forget, too, Jim, that Bill Clinton fired
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy seven thousand federal employees when he
Speaker 1: was president exactly.
Speaker 2: So this has all been done before. But what people
Speaker 2: don't realize is President Trump is moving at a pace,
Speaker 2: but the Congress isn't moving with him. So what I've
Speaker 2: been trying to tell people is next week, you're going
Speaker 2: to see the Congress path a continuing resolution. And here's
Speaker 2: what people have to understand. That continuing resolution is going
Speaker 2: to say, federal government, we're going to allow you to
Speaker 2: continue to spend what you are spending. It is not
Speaker 2: going to be cutting the DOGE cuts. So even though
Speaker 2: the President is saying, hey, there's waste, there's abuse, even
Speaker 2: though you know on Musket's finding waste abuse, we're gonna
Speaker 2: we're going to pass another CR next week and keep
Speaker 2: the government open, and we're gonna tell we're going to
Speaker 2: tell people in the CR that we're going to allow
Speaker 2: spending to occur until the end of September. So you
Speaker 2: almost have to look at what's being presented and what's
Speaker 2: actually being done. Those DOGE cuts aren't getting into the system,
Speaker 2: and that's a problem, and that and and now you
Speaker 2: see not the legislature, but but you see the judicial
Speaker 2: system stepping in and saying, wait a minute, uh, President Trump,
Speaker 2: you don't have the authority to make those cuts. So
Speaker 2: we're now starting to get into this big circle that
Speaker 2: causes the problems and why the federal government doesn't work
Speaker 2: very well.
Speaker 1: Well, this is you know, the Supreme Court rule five
Speaker 1: to four, which shocked a lot of people that they
Speaker 1: could not up the two billion dollars in usaid payments
Speaker 1: from going out that were signed before January twentieth, And
Speaker 1: I was telling somebody else who asked me about it,
Speaker 1: I said, well, I mean, the contracts were signed before
Speaker 1: Trump was president, so they're legal contracts, so they probably
Speaker 1: have to be honored as much as we don't like that.
Speaker 1: But that was only one particular case. Jim in the
Speaker 1: case of him being able to fire federal employees under
Speaker 1: the executive branch, Scotus is not ruled on that yet,
Speaker 1: and I believe they will rule in his favor, and
Speaker 1: I believe that he will have the power that an
Speaker 1: executive has, just like a CEO of any company. Just
Speaker 1: like you in one of your companies, you have the
Speaker 1: power to fire and hire whomever you want to if
Speaker 1: they're under you. Correct.
Speaker 2: No, I do agree with that, but I think it's
Speaker 2: going to be an interesting ride because I do think
Speaker 2: what's going to happen. Remember past presidents have tried this.
Speaker 2: Nixon tried to cut spending and cut personnel. That's why
Speaker 2: the Impoundment Act came and said no, you can't do that.
Speaker 2: But there are also other mechanisms that can be used.
Speaker 2: There's a mechanism that Congress can actually vote. The President
Speaker 2: can ask for cuts to be made, and Congress can
Speaker 2: vote with just a simple majority of recision. It's called
Speaker 2: the Recision Act to cut this. I think if it's
Speaker 2: done right, these things will occur. I think if it's
Speaker 2: done wrong that the president will have some bumps in
Speaker 2: the road. But I do think it can be done.
Speaker 2: But let's not forget. Next week you're going to see
Speaker 2: Congress approve a cr that says, whatever spending is out there,
Speaker 2: we approve to continue until the end of September, and
Speaker 2: they're not going to take into consideration all those dose cuts.
Speaker 1: There's a big reason that Congress, both the House and
Speaker 1: the Senate have such low approval ratings in public pool,
Speaker 1: public poll after public poll, and not just Democrats, but
Speaker 1: Congress as a whole. And that's why this continual kicking
Speaker 1: the can down the road and maintaining the establishment. And
Speaker 1: it absolutely to me as a taxpayer, as a citizen,
Speaker 1: as someone who believes in our constitution and understands that
Speaker 1: these people work for us, not the other way around,
Speaker 1: that this nonsense has to stop, and it has to
Speaker 1: stop at the district level. Do you agree or not
Speaker 1: agree with that?
Speaker 2: I do agree. And here's the problem that members of
Speaker 2: Congress have. Look, I was one of those people. One
Speaker 2: of the reasons I left Congress. I was sick and tired.
Speaker 2: I was on a budget committee and I pushed for
Speaker 2: billions of dollars of cuts, and I could not get
Speaker 2: it approved because what happens is those cuts affect a
Speaker 2: district and they'll say, hey, I'm okay with cuts, but
Speaker 2: those cuts are proposing affecting my district and I can't
Speaker 2: assume that. So the big problem we have is that
Speaker 2: right there, district by district, they look at where these
Speaker 2: cuts affect them and they say, time out, I can't
Speaker 2: support that. And when you only have a two seat
Speaker 2: majority in the House of Representatives, going to be very
Speaker 2: difficult to cut things because there's always going to be
Speaker 2: a couple members of the House or Senate that say,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, I can't go along with that.
Speaker 1: Nimby, not in my backyard. That's a human nature kind
Speaker 1: of thing, Jim, And sadly, for someone to get serious
Speaker 1: about it, they're going to have to be willing to
Speaker 1: not be re elected. I think that's as plain and
Speaker 1: simple and harsh as it gets, don't you.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what's interesting, And I'm glad you said that.
Speaker 2: I mean, every vote I took, I didn't care if
Speaker 2: I was reelected or not. I did it for the
Speaker 2: right reasons. I never voted for a CR because I
Speaker 2: didn't believe in them. I didn't vote. I remember one
Speaker 2: time I had the entire Republican Congress vote for something
Speaker 2: and I didn't, and I said, I don't care. That's
Speaker 2: bad for Ohio, that's bad for America. I'm not going
Speaker 2: along with it. And you're right if you don't fear,
Speaker 2: if everybody does what's best for the country and doesn't
Speaker 2: fear being reelected, they'll actually be re elected, because that's
Speaker 2: what people want to see.
Speaker 1: Isn't pretty much what's good for the country going to
Speaker 1: be ultimately good for your district.
Speaker 2: Well, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it isn't. I mean, I
Speaker 2: must admit. I mean I had sixteen hundred jobs in
Speaker 2: my district or related to one bill, and I of
Speaker 2: course had to vote against it. Even though you know
Speaker 2: there was some there was some good reason from a
Speaker 2: national perspective to vote for it. I mean, there are
Speaker 2: little things you got to do, but you're right. The
Speaker 2: majority of time, what's good for the country is going
Speaker 2: to be good for your district.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jim or Nacy, thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 1: It's been good for me. I hope it was good
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: All Right, you too, Gary jeff In for Willy on
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. Back in just a moment, all right.
Speaker 1: Continuing on this Friday, solving the problems one of the world,
Speaker 1: one interview at a time. Gary jeff In for Willy
Speaker 1: on the Bill Cunningham Show, seven out of WLW eating
Speaker 1: this delicious Leers Prime Market meets what is it fish
Speaker 1: sandwich on this first day of Lent, and it's absolutely delicious.
Speaker 1: More on that as we continue right now. A conversation
Speaker 1: with a lady that I really enjoy talking to. She
Speaker 1: is the CEO of Patriot Mobile, which is the nation's
Speaker 1: only Christian communication system or cell phone provider. I'm sure
Speaker 1: there are Christians at T Mobile and Verizon, although sometimes
Speaker 1: in dealing with those folks, it's hard to believe. Lee
Speaker 1: Walms Guns joins us now on the line to talk
Speaker 1: about the US Ukraine, the Democrats and their reaction to
Speaker 1: the p residents addressed to the Joint State of the
Speaker 1: Union or Joint Address to Congress this past week, and more,
Speaker 1: the pink ladies, the signs, and all the rest. Lee,
Speaker 1: good afternoon, and welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: How are you hey, I'm great, Gary, Jeff. It's Friday,
Speaker 3: and it's a good day.
Speaker 1: Yes it is. Indeed, Like I said, just devouring this
Speaker 1: delicious fish sandwich in between chats.
Speaker 3: You're making me hungry.
Speaker 1: Good stuff, man, The rye bread has got some cheese
Speaker 1: and all the all the accouterment, including some hushpuppies. So,
Speaker 1: first off, on the continuing back and forth with Vlodomar
Speaker 1: Zelenski and President Trump and this deal and Vladimir Putin
Speaker 1: trying to get peace in Ukraine. Where we are today
Speaker 1: is well, not really much further than we were when
Speaker 1: they threw Zelenski out of the Oval Office or out
Speaker 1: of the White House a we could go. There has
Speaker 1: been some movement, and he has, of course, as the
Speaker 1: President read the letter that he received from Zelensky on
Speaker 1: Tuesday night, said that Zelensky is ready to come to
Speaker 1: the table and talk and sign the mineral deal. And
Speaker 1: YadA YadA, yah. It's strange how that happened right after
Speaker 1: the President announced that we were cutting off aid to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: But where do you think we are with it now?
Speaker 1: And will this deal get done? And is Vladimir Putin
Speaker 1: going to comply?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Trump is the master of the art
Speaker 3: of the deal. He knows economic partnerships, keep the peace.
Speaker 3: And you know, I think Zelensky was acted like a
Speaker 3: self serving fool to behave the way he did in
Speaker 3: the White House, and he earned that swift eviction. The
Speaker 3: truth is in this issue. Russia and Ukraine have a
Speaker 3: quite complex history that dates back over a thousand years,
Speaker 3: and it's really a fascinating historical topic I've just really
Speaker 3: started to study and learn about.
Speaker 4: And so.
Speaker 3: Many Americans are forming opinions without knowing anything about this
Speaker 3: vast history or the current situations. I think most people
Speaker 3: in America are viewing this situation either from a pro
Speaker 3: Trump lens or an anti Trump lens, and they aren't
Speaker 3: really digging in and looking at some of the details.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of truth that Russia is losing tactically,
Speaker 3: but that Ukraine is losing strategically, meaning no one is
Speaker 3: winning and while Russia can replace soldiers, frankly, Ukraine can't.
Speaker 3: And they know they can't sustain the long game, and
Speaker 3: they know they need America. I saw a post that
Speaker 3: was a pretty poignant that said, a lot of the
Speaker 3: support for Ukraine is coming from people who would never
Speaker 3: send their own sons to fight. And that's something we
Speaker 3: need to think about. And listen to your name calling
Speaker 3: and all of that. Listen Putin as a dictator. We
Speaker 3: all know that. But Zelensky, before this invasion, Ukraine was
Speaker 3: known as a hot of corruption. Before this war, he's
Speaker 3: canceled elections. He knows also if this war ends, an
Speaker 3: election happens, he knows he's going to be out when
Speaker 3: that happens. And is he really trying to help his
Speaker 3: people or just trying to appear like he's helping his
Speaker 3: people to stay in power. And you've got the other
Speaker 3: side of Americans in general, who are just disgusted with
Speaker 3: billions of our tax dollars going overseas while hardworking Americans
Speaker 3: federal income taxes are killing their household budgets.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if we sign a deal, I think
Speaker 1: part of the deal should be Trump sends Elon Musk
Speaker 1: over to Ukraine and do a doze on where all
Speaker 1: of our money went once we send it over with
Speaker 1: the blank check three hundred and fifty some billion and
Speaker 1: more on the way I mean Trump in his first term.
Speaker 1: President Trump in his first term gave Ukraine weaponry javelins
Speaker 1: to help you in the aftermaths of what happened in
Speaker 1: CRIMEA putin did not invade. But I would really like,
Speaker 1: in fact, you know, while we're taking the scalpel to
Speaker 1: money that we have given our federal government for all
Speaker 1: kinds of weird just strange things that we're finding out
Speaker 1: more and more every day, I'd like to find out
Speaker 1: where Zelenski has utilized three hundred and fifty billion dollars
Speaker 1: since he can't account for it, since he doesn't know
Speaker 1: where the money went.
Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of reports of it being funneled
Speaker 3: back and going to Democrat lawmakers, and Americans are sick
Speaker 3: and tired of you know, the swamp in DC throwing
Speaker 3: our money around like it's candy to garner favor for
Speaker 3: personal business deals all over the world.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, until they closed here, Coney Island sometimes
Speaker 1: was called, which was an amusement park of America's largest
Speaker 1: recirculating toilet. I think that's what's going on with Ukraine
Speaker 1: and this money. I have proposed that probably about eighty
Speaker 1: to ninety percent a foreign aid. It's not like we're
Speaker 1: not generous and we don't want to help people in
Speaker 1: corners of the world that need our help, and out
Speaker 1: of our abundance we can do that. The last time
Speaker 1: I checked our debt clock, we don't have much abundance
Speaker 1: anymore in this country. But here's the thing. Most of it,
Speaker 1: I believe is simply money laundering. And this is a
Speaker 1: mob tactic that's being used by people in places of
Speaker 1: power in our government with our money, and it just
Speaker 1: it has to all end. Lee, it has to stop.
Speaker 3: It's really just such an insanity and why people think
Speaker 3: this can continue. I mean it's continued for decades past
Speaker 3: a sustainable point. And I think you have the best idea,
Speaker 3: you know, sick that Elon musk Doze group on this
Speaker 3: foreign a to make sure it's going where it's supposed
Speaker 3: to go, because.
Speaker 5: We know it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Well, you want to hear some howling from democrats and
Speaker 1: warhawks and neels, let that happen. And you think that
Speaker 1: what we've seen as a reaction to doze in the
Speaker 1: US is bad because there were all kinds of things
Speaker 1: that can be uncovered. What about all the money that
Speaker 1: hunter Biden was paid with no experience in Barisma or
Speaker 1: an energy at all, and he's a special consultant and
Speaker 1: the price tag basically was what eight million dollars over
Speaker 1: a period of time, he was getting like eighty three
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month to be an energy expert with
Speaker 1: this company owned by Ukrainian oligarchs, and obviously to buy
Speaker 1: favor with his dad who was then the vice president.
Speaker 1: That's why hunter Biden was pardoned. But dating back to
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, so I mean Ukraine, as you mentioned at
Speaker 1: the top, has been a hotbed of corruption for years. Zelenski,
Speaker 1: who was elected originally as someone to clear up the corruption,
Speaker 1: has just continued it. And we're seeing that now with
Speaker 1: our money being wasted under the name of you know,
Speaker 1: propping up a military to face the great dictator, Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1: And I think we've all been sold a bill of
Speaker 1: goods lee right.
Speaker 3: And you know, again, Trump is all about negotiation. He
Speaker 3: knows he values peace, but he also values getting something
Speaker 3: for our money. And I see The only solution here
Speaker 3: is for you know, Zelenski to eat some humble pie,
Speaker 3: come back to the table and allow US businesses to
Speaker 3: mine and refine those rare earth minerals that they are
Speaker 3: rich in, to give America something to protect. And it
Speaker 3: would it would create a red line for Russia to avoid.
Speaker 3: You know, the world is not used to us demanding
Speaker 3: something for the money we're given, and it's a well
Speaker 3: pastime for us to do that. And God bless President
Speaker 3: Trump for requiring it.
Speaker 1: You think, Vladimir will we're a suit this time?
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know. Would that would certainly
Speaker 3: be a symbolism, wouldn't it.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the pink suits of the politicians in
Speaker 1: protest on Tuesday night, the pink ladies as it were,
Speaker 1: and the ridiculous paddles. What did you think of all that?
Speaker 3: So the pink suits were so ironic in that the
Speaker 3: Democrat Party is trying to make women disappear in our
Speaker 3: society by giving Women of the Year awards to men
Speaker 3: and gold medals to men, and wanting men to create injure,
Speaker 3: injure women in sports and create this false sense of reality.
Speaker 3: And those little silly signs. Their pink suits just exacerbated
Speaker 3: that and their little silly signs. Listen, I've done politics
Speaker 3: for thirty four years. You don't hold up signs. The
Speaker 3: reason is because anything can be edited and put over it.
Speaker 3: The Democrats have created quite a wealth of meme entertainment
Speaker 3: for the right with those signs, with what's going around
Speaker 3: social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially now with AI, that's an instant meme right there.
Speaker 1: Gutfeld was using the paddles the next night on his
Speaker 1: show to poke fun at them. Did you see the
Speaker 1: female fighters, the Democrat fighters, the video that was posted
Speaker 1: on social media where these people who obviously don't know
Speaker 1: boxing or martial arts are trying to pretend like they're
Speaker 1: a fighter to fight and resist Donald Trump. Did you
Speaker 1: see that ridiculousness?
Speaker 3: I did not see that video, but I think any
Speaker 3: Republicans I have to look that up. But I think
Speaker 3: the women saying they're fighting for women, and they're standing
Speaker 3: with men taking over women's sports, and they're standing with
Speaker 3: women getting killed in the womb. It is really just nonsensical.
Speaker 1: So speaking of women and protecting women, especially in the
Speaker 1: arena of sports, and not allowing biological males or boys
Speaker 1: to play against girls or men against women like we
Speaker 1: have seen. The answer from the other side is, well,
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen often enough to legislate or to you know,
Speaker 1: do any kind of bill on this. I mean, what
Speaker 1: is it four out of five thousand or whatever the
Speaker 1: numbers are. If it's one, it's one too many in
Speaker 1: my opinion. And because and because you're not allowing this
Speaker 1: unfair disparity of someone who is biologically stronger and more fit,
Speaker 1: not by nature that these women are slouches, are not
Speaker 1: good athletes. That's not it at all. And it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that you're against someone who thinks that there's something
Speaker 1: else that they're not. I mean, it doesn't mean your
Speaker 1: anti trans to be anti this, because this is anti
Speaker 1: fairness and competition. It's a total violation of Title nine,
Speaker 1: which was supposed to protect women in athletics and give
Speaker 1: them a same footing and same money available from you know,
Speaker 1: from the sources where it came from. That's what Title
Speaker 1: nine was all about. It was about protecting women. And
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and his crew, influenced by all these far
Speaker 1: left radicals, tried to change Title nine to include trans
Speaker 1: men or trans women in women's sports. This is nonsense.
Speaker 1: This is this is so anti woman just on the
Speaker 1: face of it. And like I said, if it's just
Speaker 1: Leah Thomas and a pole vaulter and a volleyball player,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. That's three too many in my opinion.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the whole Title nine Biden disaster was
Speaker 3: completely unconstitutional. The nineteen seventy two Title nine protections were
Speaker 3: put in place, as you said, to forbid discrimination based
Speaker 3: on sex and education and athletics. And the provision makes
Speaker 3: it clear that no person in the United States shall,
Speaker 3: on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in
Speaker 3: or denied those benefits. The April nineteenth, twenty twenty four
Speaker 3: Biden expansion of Title nine tried to redefine sex to
Speaker 3: include gender identity. And it was Biden's weaponization of Department
Speaker 3: of Education for civil rights against female K through twelve
Speaker 3: and university students. Not only did that also violate those kids,
Speaker 3: in violated teachers First Amendment rights in regard to forced
Speaker 3: and compelled speech, forcing pronoun usage, and endangered students and
Speaker 3: women in locker rooms and restrooms. And it's really I mean,
Speaker 3: you think about it, You think about these hard working
Speaker 3: female athletes that have worked all their lives for college
Speaker 3: scholarship or to go into the professional sports world and
Speaker 3: to be told, well, I'm just going to smack you
Speaker 3: in the face because even though you've dedicated a lifetime
Speaker 3: to your sport, because now I'm bringing men in. It
Speaker 3: was a smack in the face to women, and at
Speaker 3: that back tired on, it.
Speaker 1: Was literally a smack in the face. In the case
Speaker 1: of the volleyball player, I mean she was permanently disabled
Speaker 1: because she was on the court with a man. I
Speaker 1: don't care if I don't think. I don't care if
Speaker 1: you think you're a woman, or you feel like God
Speaker 1: puts you in the wrong body, which by the way,
Speaker 1: didn't happen. You're still a man, no no matter what
Speaker 1: you call yourself, no matter how many hormones you take,
Speaker 1: no matter what surgeries you have, XX and x Y
Speaker 1: tells the story. And if you're not there at a
Speaker 1: chromosomeal level, I'm sorry you're not the sex you say
Speaker 1: you are. And again to state that doesn't make me
Speaker 1: anti trans or homophobic or any of the other slurs
Speaker 1: the other side, the radical side, will sling at me.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is let me trust we do.
Speaker 3: They say trust the science when it's the science of
Speaker 3: their convenience. The science is males have denser bone masks,
Speaker 3: males have more muscle masks. The science is a chromosoonal
Speaker 3: biological fact that can't be changed by someone's imaginary world.
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you one of my favorites, okay, lines
Speaker 3: from Trump's speech the other night, when he sent our
Speaker 3: message to every child in America is that you are perfect,
Speaker 3: exactly the way God made you.
Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved his acknowledgment of Almighty God.
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't think he was using that
Speaker 1: at all. I think that he finally has been convinced
Speaker 1: of that that God saved him for this purpose, for
Speaker 1: this time, and no matter. See this should be a
Speaker 1: lesson to us, the rest of us sinners every day
Speaker 1: in our lifely that if God will use someone who
Speaker 1: was obviously a flawed human being, like anybody else, like
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, in such a major way to bring his
Speaker 1: will to four, then he can use any of us,
Speaker 1: no matter how, no matter how dirty or smelly we are.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, there's hundreds of stories of people
Speaker 3: that God have used, God has used in that way
Speaker 3: throughout the Bible, you know, I mean if we were
Speaker 3: if anyone was perfect, I'm a Christian, if anyone was perfect,
Speaker 3: we wouldn't have needed Jesus Christ to die on that
Speaker 3: cross for us. None of us are perfect. God can
Speaker 3: use any of us, and God has created all of
Speaker 3: us in uniquely wonderful ways. It is a beautiful, diverse
Speaker 3: world out there, and God created it that way. And
Speaker 3: Trump was right. Every child in America and in the world.
Speaker 3: God created us for his perfect purpose.
Speaker 1: Lee Wamsgan's any way that people can reach out and
Speaker 1: find out more.
Speaker 3: About you, absolutely, then go to Patriotmobile dot com and
Speaker 3: find us. I work for Patriot Mobile and we are
Speaker 3: America's only Christian conservative wireless provider or on all the
Speaker 3: three major networks, and we give a portion of every
Speaker 3: dollar that we earn to work for people on the
Speaker 3: frontlines working to keep America free. So we'd love to
Speaker 3: have you as a part of the Patriot Mobile family.
Speaker 1: All right, Lee Walmsgance, thank you so much for taking
Speaker 1: some time on this Friday. You have a wonderful weekend
Speaker 1: and we move on again solving the world one interview
Speaker 1: at a time. Coming up next on Israel and Hamas,
Speaker 1: and yes, the protests on our shores have geared up
Speaker 1: again in some familiar places. People are being not only blocked,
Speaker 1: but in some cases assaulted just for being Jewish in
Speaker 1: this country. That cannot be allowed to happen. And I
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to have the kind of shelf
Speaker 1: life it did under Joe Biden. That's just I thought.
Speaker 1: Ury Kaufman on that and more when we continue on
Speaker 1: The Bill Cunningham Show, Gary Jeffan for Willy on seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW A Friday afternoon, March the seventh, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Gary Jeff Walker in for Willy on The Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: During the break, producer Dave Keaton explaining to me what
Speaker 1: LARPing is. He said, LARPing and brought up the fact
Speaker 1: that the guy in cole Raine Township who threw the
Speaker 1: axe at officers and paid for it with his life,
Speaker 1: as the prosecutor said that the officers were not in
Speaker 1: the wrong, the body cam showed that there was no
Speaker 1: other option but to use deadly force in that case.
Speaker 1: But a LARPing is apparently medieval re enactments with weaponry
Speaker 1: and armor, and oh my god, find a Renfest near
Speaker 1: you leave me alone, leave me out of the LARPing.
Speaker 1: We are again seeing the protests on college campuses in
Speaker 1: some of the old familiar places, Columbia University, particularly Bernard College,
Speaker 1: which I guess is a part of that complex in
Speaker 1: downtown New York. The pro Hamas pro Palestinian, anti Israel
Speaker 1: protests are back. They're taking over buildings again. There have
Speaker 1: been some arrests made, but will anybody stay in jail
Speaker 1: for de facto deprivation of the rights of Jewish students
Speaker 1: who attend those colleges, Blocked from going into a library
Speaker 1: and other assaults happening now along with the massed up
Speaker 1: protest to talk about that and why the left loves
Speaker 1: Hamas and hates Israel or the other way around. In fact,
Speaker 1: his book is entitled American Intafada, How the Left lean
Speaker 1: to learn to hate Israel and love Hamas. He is
Speaker 1: a historian and he's done many works in the past
Speaker 1: on Israel and the Middle East. Uri Kaufman joins us
Speaker 1: for the next few minutes. Uri A good afternoon. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the Bill Cunningham Show. The book Anti American Intifada.
Speaker 1: They are actually shouting into fada which is Holy war
Speaker 1: right now on the streets of New York City, at
Speaker 1: Columbia and Bernard College and other places around the country.
Speaker 1: Is there a reason for this psychosis?
Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely, there's a reason.
Speaker 1: It's real simple.
Speaker 5: In fact, I went up to Columbia myself to watch
Speaker 5: it last year and they were chanting two four six eight.
Speaker 5: Israel is a racist state. And that's really when you
Speaker 5: begin to understand what this is really all about. Let's
Speaker 5: engage in a thought experiment. Let's assume the October seven
Speaker 5: attackers were white supremacists.
Speaker 1: Not people of color.
Speaker 5: Do you really think they'd be protesting. What we're really
Speaker 5: seeing is a situation where kids today, and I have
Speaker 5: to say a lot of the professors that are indoctrinating them,
Speaker 5: they judge people by the color of their skin, not
Speaker 5: the content of their character. That's really what this is
Speaker 5: all about. It's people of color attacking not just white people,
Speaker 5: but Jews, who, in the minds of progressives are a
Speaker 5: white group of privilege. So you got the people of
Speaker 5: color in one corner and the white group of privilege
Speaker 5: in the other. They're back in the people of color
Speaker 5: because that's just the way they're wired. The problem of course,
Speaker 5: is the facts don't even remotely justify it. But then
Speaker 5: you get into something that psychologists call cognitive dissonance when
Speaker 5: people have deeply held beliefs and then facts appear that
Speaker 5: contradict the beliefs. People change the facts, they don't change
Speaker 5: the beliefs. And it's not just college kids and they're
Speaker 5: indoctrinating professors that do it. It's very senior people as well,
Speaker 5: like for example, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, many many others
Speaker 5: on the left.
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of cases, and we found this last
Speaker 1: year with the anti Israel protests on college campuses. In
Speaker 1: many cases they weren't students at all, and they certainly
Speaker 1: weren't being funded by college students or maybe college professors.
Speaker 1: They were being funded by Soros type haters of Jews.
Speaker 1: The tents and everything else we saw that were just
Speaker 1: and the signs that were ready to go. This was
Speaker 1: not a grassroots movement of campus radicals. They used those people,
Speaker 1: but that's not where it emanated from, did it.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a whole cottage industry out there, and
Speaker 5: it crisscrosses through so many different areas. I'll give you
Speaker 5: one perfect example. Amnesty International. Their annual budget is like
Speaker 5: four hundred and forty two million dollars something like that.
Speaker 5: Human Rights Watch, which was funded by George Soros. They
Speaker 5: got like one hundred million dollars from him, and it's
Speaker 5: all the same basic idea AMSTY International. I went on
Speaker 5: their website and went to their search bar and I
Speaker 5: typed in the word rape and there were I think
Speaker 5: it was something like two thousand, six hundred and thirty
Speaker 5: two two hits. And I started scrolling. There was rape
Speaker 5: and Rwanda, there was rape and dark work, rape in
Speaker 5: every corner of planet Earth. Just one rape they didn't
Speaker 5: bother to talk about, which was the comas rape of
Speaker 5: Israeli women, and I thought, well, that can't be So
Speaker 5: I went back and I typed in a comas rape
Speaker 5: and one entry came up. It was a Palestinian woman
Speaker 5: who claimed in Israeli threatened her with rape, which of
Speaker 5: course was never substantiated. That's when you understand what's going
Speaker 5: on here. It's nothing but a propaganda arm of the left.
Speaker 5: It's a propaganda arm of the most left leaning groups
Speaker 5: in the European Union. They fund a lot of this stuff,
Speaker 5: and sadly it's just become a cottage industry all by itself.
Speaker 5: But I guess said, if I may just make one point,
Speaker 5: President Trump is finally putting a stop to it. The
Speaker 5: biggest one of the so called NGOs they called non
Speaker 5: government organizations, the biggest one in Israel is called the
Speaker 5: New Israel Fund. Pretty innocent sounding name, but they've been
Speaker 5: putting out left wing propaganda for years. President Trump said
Speaker 5: if they don't stop, the funding is going to be
Speaker 5: cut off immediately. And so now they're backtracking and trying
Speaker 5: to figure out a way to continue to do what
Speaker 5: they do, but without frankly running a fowl and disseminating propaganda.
Speaker 5: So thank you, President Trump.
Speaker 1: You're a fan of President Trump's Gaza policy, no reconstruction
Speaker 1: until Hamas is out, and the United States doing whatever
Speaker 1: we can, even though he wants the other countries directly
Speaker 1: affected in the Middle East to join in in rebuilding Gaza.
Speaker 1: There's absolutely no reason to me outside of how many
Speaker 1: hostages are left do they claim to have Hamas claims
Speaker 1: to have been holding at this point in god So.
Speaker 5: The current number now is fifty nine hostages, of whom
Speaker 5: thirty five have been declared dead. We know that, unfortunately
Speaker 5: from forensic evidence people have combat twenty four up to
Speaker 5: twenty four are thought to be allied, and one of
Speaker 5: them is an American citizen. Aidon Alexander as American as
Speaker 5: you or me. I know, if I or you know
Speaker 5: a family member of mine were God forbid in captivity,
Speaker 5: I want my American president working to free me. What
Speaker 5: we saw from Biden and Kamala was the opposite. They
Speaker 5: forced Israel to do what no country has been forced
Speaker 5: to do in the history of the world, supply their
Speaker 5: enemies in the middle of a war. They could have
Speaker 5: just conditioned it on at least three the Americans. There
Speaker 5: were eight live Americans held when they started the policy.
Speaker 5: We're boun to just one. Sadly, most famously, Hirsch Gilbert Poland,
Speaker 5: an American citizen, was murdered in captivity. I like to
Speaker 5: think he could have been saved. So, you know, again,
Speaker 5: kudos to President Trump. And again, just going back to
Speaker 5: Biden and Kamala, they budgeted billions of dollars to rebuild Gaza,
Speaker 5: even though Hamas said they would never live in peace,
Speaker 5: and President Trump had said, no, no, no, it's the other
Speaker 5: way around. If first you agree to live in peace
Speaker 5: and then we rebuild Gaza, That's the way it would
Speaker 5: be anywhere else on planet Earth. And now again, let's
Speaker 5: just go back to my first If the people of
Speaker 5: Gaza were white supremacists, white South Africans Germans of another era,
Speaker 5: do you really think the Democrats would budget billions of
Speaker 5: dollars to rebuild for the innocent, white supremacist, innocent civilians
Speaker 5: without them being willing to live in peace. Of course
Speaker 5: they would, But since it's people of color attacking a
Speaker 5: white group of privilege, suddenly it all gets scrambled in
Speaker 5: their minds, and so we have this weird situation where
Speaker 5: they're judging people by the color of their skin and
Speaker 5: not the content.
Speaker 1: Of their character. Well, Uria, as you know, and most
Speaker 1: people know, at least people who want to know, the
Speaker 1: so called Palestinians were just refugees from other Middle Eastern countries,
Speaker 1: Arabs that they didn't want in their country. There's no
Speaker 1: Palestinian culture of the so far, the Palestinian culture that
Speaker 1: we have sent has been a cult of death and
Speaker 1: hate for Israel. There's no Palestinian language. I think that
Speaker 1: they get way way too much credit for being a
Speaker 1: people when they're basically Arabs. Who've been rejected by the
Speaker 1: rest of the Arab world, and now President Trump is
Speaker 1: asking these countries like Jordan and Syria to take them
Speaker 1: back while Gaza is rebuilt. And I don't know, it
Speaker 1: just seems like it's pretty obvious who the bad guys
Speaker 1: are here. American Inefada, How the Left Learn to Hate
Speaker 1: Israel and Love Hamas is the book the authors Uri
Speaker 1: Kaufman our guest today, and thank you so much for
Speaker 1: your time, great insights, Uri.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much, pleasure to be here.
Speaker 1: All right, Mark Mix, Right to Work Mark Mix coming
Speaker 1: up next on the Bill Cunningham Show. The National Right
Speaker 1: to Work Foundation is a fantastic resource for people employees
Speaker 1: who feel like they've been taken advantage of by unions.
Speaker 1: And we have a victory to announce today. We're doing
Speaker 1: a little lap victory against the UFCW and Croger for
Speaker 1: Fairfield resident James Carroll. This has been an ongoing thing.
Speaker 1: They signed to illegal. He was forced to sign the
Speaker 1: illegal documents, double dues documents and paid these dues when
Speaker 1: he insisted he did not want to do that by Kroger.
Speaker 1: In the UFCW Local seventy five, Mark Mix discusses this today, Mark,
Speaker 1: how are you well, I'm doing fine.
Speaker 4: Good to be on with you again. And yeah, it's
Speaker 4: good to take a lap on a victory like this
Speaker 4: because oftentimes individual employees, first of all, don't understand the
Speaker 4: rights that they may have under the National Relations Act
Speaker 4: and under Supreme Court decisions like this case. But it's
Speaker 4: good to be able to reach out and help them
Speaker 4: and get a good decision like this where Kroger has
Speaker 4: to reimburse the money that they illegally took from his
Speaker 4: paycheck and the union has to post and notice that
Speaker 4: they're not going to do this again and misrepresent things
Speaker 4: to employees that they claim to represent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I found out that Kroger was a union shop.
Speaker 1: I ever knew that until I moved here to this area,
Speaker 1: and I said, wow, I don't know if I really
Speaker 1: really want to patronize them or not. But again, they're ubiquitous.
Speaker 1: They're everywhere here. As you know, Cincinnati is the headquarters Kroger.
Speaker 1: So to avoid prosecution, though, Kroger and United Food Workers
Speaker 1: with a UFCW agreed to a settlement that, as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: requires them to reimburse mister Carroll for unlawfully seized dues.
Speaker 1: And post a public notice in forming employees of their rights. No, Mark,
Speaker 1: when I talk every in fact, almost every time I
Speaker 1: have you on, they'll be at least one person who
Speaker 1: was a staunch union supporter, a union member, who will
Speaker 1: come up to me and say, Man, those people are
Speaker 1: a bunch of crooks at right to work, and you
Speaker 1: know they're behind their union one hundred percent. When the
Speaker 1: union in fact does utilize and not all of them,
Speaker 1: and not all of them are guilty, not all of
Speaker 1: them get sued, right, Mark. But here's the thing. They utilize,
Speaker 1: really what you would call mob tactics sometimes to bolster
Speaker 1: their union membership, don't.
Speaker 4: They Well here, Jeff, Yeah, that's right. We don't have
Speaker 4: any problem with anyone that wants to be a part
Speaker 4: of a union, wants to associate with the union, wants
Speaker 4: to give their entire paycheck to a union if they
Speaker 4: choose to do that. What we can't contemplate and what
Speaker 4: we don't understand, and what many union officials take advantage of,
Speaker 4: is their ability to compel people. One to force them
Speaker 4: to associate with the union they never wanted, never asked for,
Speaker 4: and never voted for. And then two to add insult
Speaker 4: to injury in states that don't have right to work
Speaker 4: loss like Ohio, to force workers to pay does or
Speaker 4: fees in order to get or keep their job. And
Speaker 4: then when you add this extra layer where they know
Speaker 4: when a person comes in to apply for a job
Speaker 4: and needs a job and wants to get a job,
Speaker 4: he's confronted with a wave of paper work that comes in.
Speaker 4: And some of this paperwork says, oh, by the way,
Speaker 4: you agree to be a member of the union, you
Speaker 4: agree to pay union dues, you agree to aduce checkoff scheme,
Speaker 4: whereas the money will be taken out of your paycheck
Speaker 4: before you see it, and yeah, you'll live happily ever after. Well,
Speaker 4: some people look at that, and they look at what
Speaker 4: this union for, you know, the United Food and Commercial
Speaker 4: Workers or the UAW or the Teamsters union does with
Speaker 4: the money that they're required to pay as a condition
Speaker 4: of their employment, on political and ideological causes or just
Speaker 4: flat out corruption inside the union, And they say, I
Speaker 4: don't want any part of that. Well, according to the
Speaker 4: paperwork that you signed, you know, we ask you to
Speaker 4: check box A check box B, you know, all of
Speaker 4: these things, and it gets confusing, and then they find
Speaker 4: out that you know if they don't pay those dues
Speaker 4: or they don't sign this card, that somehow their employment
Speaker 4: is at stake. And those are really high stakes for
Speaker 4: a lot of people. And so what we do is
Speaker 4: come alongside those folks that have this objection and simply
Speaker 4: help them exercise the limited rights they do have, just
Speaker 4: like in this case. And frankly, those people that compy
Speaker 4: on the street their union, God bless them. They're making
Speaker 4: a decision to support an organization that they believe represents
Speaker 4: them in a way that's favorable to them. That's great stuff,
Speaker 4: and that's how we operate. But we will not contemplate
Speaker 4: the idea that someone loses their job simply because they're
Speaker 4: not paying a private organization for the right to work.
Speaker 1: The state where I live, Commonwealth of Kentucky, is a
Speaker 1: right to work state. How many right to work states
Speaker 1: do we have in the Union.
Speaker 4: Now, Mark, Yeah, there's twenty six carried Jeff. And it's
Speaker 4: interesting this story continues because this guy got a transfer
Speaker 4: to Kentucky where he can use the protection of Kentucky's
Speaker 4: right to work law and say, you know what, I'm
Speaker 4: not going to pay you anything because that's what the
Speaker 4: law says. In Kentucky as a right to work state.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Listen, you are not anti union. And that's the
Speaker 1: other thing I hear is that right to work and
Speaker 1: in right to work states, the unions are the workers
Speaker 1: are abused. They're taking advantage of I hear it all
Speaker 1: the time, all of the same propaganda and rhetoric that
Speaker 1: comes from the unions in the union stewards, but not
Speaker 1: necessarily from the rank and file.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly right. And the disconnect between the union
Speaker 4: officials or the union bosses, if you will, and the
Speaker 4: rank and file workers growing wider and wider all the time.
Speaker 4: And we saw that really as a case study in
Speaker 4: the elections in November. I mean, you know, the United
Speaker 4: Auto Workers union and other union officials across the country
Speaker 4: were calling Trump a scab and a con man and
Speaker 4: spent literally tens of millions of dollars on Kamala Harris's campaign.
Speaker 4: In fact, just recently data came out from Open Secrets
Speaker 4: that said unions direct contributions to presidential campaigns. And this
Speaker 4: doesn't this doesn't qualify all of their donations for politics,
Speaker 4: because they do billions of dollars in political work, but
Speaker 4: they in a ratio of two hundred and ten dollars
Speaker 4: to every one dollar. Two hundred and ten dollars of
Speaker 4: the union direct contributions went to Kamala Harris, one hundred
Speaker 4: one dollar went to Donald Trump, to the tune of
Speaker 4: sixty million versus two hundred and forty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: But yet rank and file workers in the private sector
Speaker 4: voted over for Donald Trump for president.
Speaker 1: Yep, and he is our president. And again that's the
Speaker 1: second Hallelujah in one interview. Not bad for ten minutes. Listen,
Speaker 1: Mark Nix, keep us abreast of more developments, and we
Speaker 1: will talk again. I'm sure.
Speaker 4: Thanks Jarre, Jeff, appreciate you paying attention to this stuff.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the opportunity, got national right to work.
Speaker 1: Mark Mix on the Bill Cunningham Show, seg just walking
Speaker 1: in right now. We have a special guest who will

Speaker 8: housing look and everything else on their jersey.
Speaker 1: They ought to have steins. They like huge heavy beer
Speaker 1: steins that they do. Maybe they will. Wouldn't that be fun?
Speaker 1: Go to the game and see then you could after
Speaker 1: every goal you throw your beer stein onto the eyes. Jesus,
Speaker 1: start at the crisis, hitting officials. That's all you imagine that. No, no,
Speaker 1: Teddy Bears are enough. But the they do a lot
Speaker 1: of promotions, Yes they do with the style, Yes they do. Uh,
Speaker 1: just to get anybody in the doors, you know, and
Speaker 1: they'll don't do a good job. They'll have one or
Speaker 1: two thousand or whatever. Probably probably a good crowd. I know,
Speaker 1: we're we're the home of you see sports, basketball and football.
Speaker 1: I understand, But what was I saw the story again
Speaker 1: this morning where you see threatened legal action if a
Speaker 1: middle school in Tennessee didn't change their name from the
Speaker 1: bear Cats. Apparently xavior head a little handed at two.
Speaker 1: But no, you see started it. You see Gott Xavier involved.
Speaker 1: It's a crosstown shootout of team name and mascots. Now
Speaker 1: because this this this little middle school team in Cheatham County, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: is now the Musketeers. They were the Bearcats. So I understand,
Speaker 1: I don't understand what how how the UC University of
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was threatened by a middle school in Middle Tennessee
Speaker 1: by using the name Bearcats. I don't want anybody at
Speaker 1: U see upset with me, seg But why were they
Speaker 1: so damned petty? I had no idea. I want to know.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Were they really afraid that they
Speaker 1: were going to start selling merch on the back of
Speaker 1: UC at A at a middle school in Tennessee? By
Speaker 1: middle school in Tennessee is like same thing here sixth
Speaker 1: through eighth grade, right, Okay, they're not exactly competing for
Speaker 1: nil money. Yet they're not. You never know, they're not
Speaker 1: selling merch outside of the school gym or at the games.
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're going to be buying any
Speaker 1: University of Cincinnati product in Cheatham County, Tennessee, unless they're
Speaker 1: in a lum or whatever. I'm just confused by why
Speaker 1: it was such a big deal that they had to go.
Speaker 1: They got to change the logo on their basketball for
Speaker 1: it's costing them money, They've got to change the uniform
Speaker 1: that's costing them money. And it's all because you see
Speaker 1: thought that they were on their turf. Now, how long
Speaker 1: have the Cheatham County Middle School team been the Bearcats,
Speaker 1: that's the question. I think it was a while they've
Speaker 1: been all of a sudden, or maybe they were a
Speaker 1: new school. I'm not sure, but all of the sudden,
Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati has a problem with a middle
Speaker 1: school in middle Tennessee, just as beyond me. I wish
Speaker 1: someone would explain it to me. That's the world today,
Speaker 1: Gary Jeff, that's the world today. Apparently it's the world
Speaker 1: today with the University of Cincinnati, not with Xavier so much.
Speaker 1: They can use Musketeers proudly in Cheatham County, Tennessee. They
Speaker 1: got a good looking logo now.
Speaker 8: I saw today the school's got a pretty good looking
Speaker 8: logo now, so you know.
Speaker 1: And see that's the thing that you see. Should consider.
Speaker 1: They're much in their name too. They're much improved with
Speaker 1: a logo that now is sporting the musketeer logo. So
Speaker 1: maybe UC should think about changing their low go. If
Speaker 1: it's good enough for Cheatham County, then it's good enough
Speaker 1: for UC. Or that's the way it used to be.
Speaker 1: Not sure that's gonna happen, No, probably not.
Speaker 8: No, No, they got enough problems up at you see,
Speaker 8: versus their logo and whether or not they're going to
Speaker 8: change it.
Speaker 1: So now we gotta have c Cincinnati tomorrow night.
Speaker 8: Well, I said, yeah, Toronto's in town to take on
Speaker 8: our men, and then I think it's Tuesday or Wednesday
Speaker 8: they go to Mexico to play back in the Champions
Speaker 8: Cup segment.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. If you are, for
Speaker 1: some reason holding an axe and you're confronted by two
Speaker 1: sheriff's deputies, say you're in Columbia Township, for example, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you throw an axe and a baseball bat at
Speaker 1: the two armed officers, what do you think the result
Speaker 1: will be. I wouldn't I drop them.
Speaker 8: I'd heed the officers a morning, correct, Yeah, I wouldn't
Speaker 8: throw them.
Speaker 1: No, what do you think he was gonna do.
Speaker 5: That?
Speaker 8: I don't know, Gary, Jeff, Because there's more of the
Speaker 8: police than there are of the criminal.
Speaker 1: Well, but beyond that, I mean, the police are always
Speaker 1: under scrutiny anytime they have to use quote unquote deadly force.
Speaker 1: In this case, I was wrong. The guy didn't die, right,
Speaker 1: he's recovering from his injuries. But there was somebody who
Speaker 1: wanted to prosecute the police officers for fending off the
Speaker 1: axe wielding, batthrowing maniac in Columbia Township. Do you think
Speaker 1: there's mental illness at work? Possibly said that, I don't know, Gary, Jeff,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Not a doctor, I believe. No,
Speaker 1: you're far from it. You're not a psychologist. Far from it,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 8: The guy that usually sits in that chair is but
Speaker 8: half the time he falls out of it.
Speaker 1: So what can I say?
Speaker 5: What was it?
Speaker 1: You weren't in the room on that time? I no,
Speaker 1: when Willie fell out of the chair? Correct, And then
Speaker 1: Scott's Loan claimed to worry about him. So I don't
Speaker 1: want Scott's Loan doing my eulogy. If I if I
Speaker 1: keel over in the middle of the shit, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: do it either. No, So there you go. No, who
Speaker 1: do you want eulogizing you? Idea? You're a longtime legend
Speaker 1: in this market, at this radio station, and there are
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of people who are sad
Speaker 1: and need to be comforted at any time in the
Speaker 1: future when you may or may not succumb to the
Speaker 1: attrition of life. Seg never thought about that. So far?
Speaker 1: Would you like Willy to eulogize you that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Probably so, or I'll think a few other What about
Speaker 1: John John from Kiss one or seven? I think he'd
Speaker 1: do a fine job. What about that? I'll think about it,
Speaker 1: Austin Elmore. I'll think about it. Yeah, but it's something
Speaker 1: you need to consider. We're getting to the age all
Speaker 1: of us meet me included here Segre. We're not going
Speaker 1: to be around forever. We're closer to the end than
Speaker 1: the beginning. I hate to think about it in those terms,
Speaker 1: but it's true. And I thought for a while that
Speaker 1: I would like I would like Sarah Elise to eulogize me.
Speaker 1: I think she'd do a fine job. Uh, and she'd
Speaker 1: do it in really hot black boots.
Speaker 8: Gary jeff In Utter of this being National Tartar Sauce Day,
Speaker 8: is it really? We leave you with the immortal words
Speaker 8: of the stew Report.

Speaker 1: seven hundred w l W. It's been three weeks since
Speaker 1: I found out on the air on Valentine's Day that
Speaker 1: our beloved cat dog, Brooksy had passed away suddenly. And
Speaker 1: I just want to say, and I talked about this
Speaker 1: last Saturday morning, a big thank you, a heartfelt, sincere
Speaker 1: thank you to all of the people who heard about
Speaker 1: it and then offered words of condolences and sympathy in
Speaker 1: the interim time, including today our new Citizen of the Day,
Speaker 1: Citizen of the Week, Bill Cunningham, does that, doesn't he?
Speaker 1: I think he does. Diane Gardner, who sent me a
Speaker 1: note she didn't do it since she'd be on the air,
Speaker 1: And it's just a really really nice sending you heartfelt sympathy.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to go on much more about
Speaker 1: what some people say. It's a dead cat, what's wrong
Speaker 1: with you? Yeah? Okay, he was our he was our cat,
Speaker 1: he was our beloved pet friend, and he was a
Speaker 1: cat dog, as I've explained, on a leash play and fetch,
Speaker 1: following us around the house like a puppy. And now
Speaker 1: he's gone. But just how much it meant to Christa
Speaker 1: and I to have the overwhelming ground swell of sympathy
Speaker 1: and people steping out and say, man, I'm sorry. But
Speaker 1: I found out about it on the air, which was
Speaker 1: a difficult, difficult ride for about forty five minutes as
Speaker 1: I still had It was like eleven fifteen and I
Speaker 1: had to go till noon that day. I was in
Speaker 1: for Sloan today in the Babylon B. If you're not
Speaker 1: familiar with the Babylon B. They are extremely funny. I
Speaker 1: highly recommend that you get them on your email feed.
Speaker 1: Today's list from the set satirical political site nine essential
Speaker 1: items France is providing in defensive Ukraine. As you know,
Speaker 1: They've been a slight pause in usaid to Ukraine after
Speaker 1: the incredibly bad meeting with Zelensky last week at the
Speaker 1: White House, and it looks like we're getting things back together,
Speaker 1: the bands getting back together. Eventually, Zelensky's come to a census,
Speaker 1: but we temporarily paused USA to Ukraine. So this is
Speaker 1: a way that France is they pledge support for Ukraine
Speaker 1: in the possible void of US aid. Here are the
Speaker 1: nine things, nine essential items French has provided. France is
Speaker 1: providing in defensive Ukraine. Number one strategic bagette drops. They
Speaker 1: can be used as sustenance or blunt weapon, depending on
Speaker 1: how stale they are. Have you ever been hit with
Speaker 1: a bagette that's stale? Oh, they're toothbreakers. At least weekly
Speaker 1: shipments of stinky cheese to the front lines. Watch those
Speaker 1: Ruskies flee in search of fresh air. France will provide
Speaker 1: squads of Muslim migrants who will stab any white people
Speaker 1: they see. France is reportedly willing to pledge three million
Speaker 1: military age Islamic males. They got a load of them
Speaker 1: accordion players to aid in the interrogation of Russian captives,
Speaker 1: although they say it may violate the Geneva Convention. Number
Speaker 1: five unwashed frenchmen to create a perimeter with an impenetrable
Speaker 1: wall of body odor that frightens me. Provisions for all
Speaker 1: soldiers consisting of croissants and tiny cups of coffee. Even
Speaker 1: war doesn't have to be entirely uncivilized. Number seven cutting
Speaker 1: edge guillotine technology. Now I pause here. I've always said,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have a death penalty, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: have capital punishment, not that I'm forwarder against it, but
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have it, a guillotine is really the
Speaker 1: cleanest best way to go. I mean, there's no struggling
Speaker 1: on a gurney of your head exploding from electricity. You
Speaker 1: lop the head off and it's done very, very humane.
Speaker 1: Number eight mimes the French equivalent of the most elite
Speaker 1: special forces, and number nine an endless supply of white flags,
Speaker 1: which reminds me of my uncle's French World War II
Speaker 1: rifle only dropped once, never used news time. And then
Speaker 1: Charlie Coleman, the Coach, joins us on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: Gary Jeffin for Willie at seven hundred WLW. Let's go
Speaker 1: over fifteen years ago, I attended a County Commission meeting
Speaker 1: in Newport, and part of the reason I was there
Speaker 1: was at the request of a guy I knew named
Speaker 1: Charlie Coleman. He would get involved in local politics in
Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky. But anyway, he is here in the studio
Speaker 1: to talk about this new book that he has compiled
Speaker 1: called Northern Kentucky Sports Legends of the nineteen fifties. And
Speaker 1: all of the names are there, just an incredible list
Speaker 1: of fantastic athletes who have been a part of the
Speaker 1: fabric of high school and college sports in Northern Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Many of these names still resonate and people still know
Speaker 1: who they are, even some seventy years later. But Charlie
Speaker 1: always had a love for that. He was a coach.
Speaker 1: In fact, they called him coach at Belbie. I still
Speaker 1: call him coach. But the reason we got together at
Speaker 1: the time, Charlie, was because you had you'd heard me
Speaker 1: on the radio, and you knew basically what my politics
Speaker 1: were like essentially, and I was a guy who loves
Speaker 1: freedom and liberty. And in Newport, in the Campbell County
Speaker 1: at the time, they were debating whether to end public
Speaker 1: cigarette smoking in public places, so which of course it
Speaker 1: ended in Ohio already, and the pushes on and now
Speaker 1: individual cities in Campbell County decided they're going non smoking
Speaker 1: by edict in Bellevue and Dayton and most areas of Covington.
Speaker 1: But Newport is still kind of like an oasis of
Speaker 1: liberty if the owner of an establishment deems that his
Speaker 1: customers don't mind the smoke, and it's for me. It's
Speaker 1: always been a personal choice kind of thing, not a
Speaker 1: public health thing, in that you have the choice to
Speaker 1: go into any establishment you want. No one forces you
Speaker 1: to go into a bar, for example, free markets. Free markets,
Speaker 1: and you're not a cigarette smoker.
Speaker 9: I am not.
Speaker 1: I was at the time, but that wasn't the reason
Speaker 1: that I got up and spoke at the meeting in
Speaker 1: front of it, and we got it put down in
Speaker 1: Campbell County at the time.
Speaker 9: Yeah, actually it had been passed, but it had not
Speaker 9: been implemented at the time.
Speaker 1: But they opened it up for public comment, and we
Speaker 1: sure as that comment.
Speaker 9: We sure did, and got it repealed before it ever
Speaker 9: went into effect. So it was a great example of
Speaker 9: democracy and action and liberty loving Campbell Countians came to
Speaker 9: the forefront you included, and we got that repealed so
Speaker 9: a business owner could make his or her own decisions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and nobody is for it. There were like three
Speaker 1: thousand some business owners who had signed a petition against
Speaker 1: this new regulation, and most of them were non smoking
Speaker 1: by choice, by choice. It wasn't about that. It was
Speaker 1: about again individual liberty for each particular property owner. Property
Speaker 1: owners' rights and customers were rights met in the middle
Speaker 1: in a great show, as you said, of true democracy
Speaker 1: and action. So it was it was an So that's
Speaker 1: the way we met. And then you ran for office
Speaker 1: and was elected. What was that position?
Speaker 9: I was county commissioner from one of the three districts.
Speaker 9: There are three county commissioners and a judge executive right
Speaker 9: in Campbell County.
Speaker 1: All right, And then you got about to doing what
Speaker 1: you have done pretty much your entire life, and that
Speaker 1: is a This is the true definition of athleticism. It's
Speaker 1: a enthusiasm for athletics, and you have always had that
Speaker 1: from your times as a player to your time as
Speaker 1: a coach. When did you When did you play and
Speaker 1: what sports did you play?
Speaker 9: I've played football at Newport High School, Newport Public High School,
Speaker 9: Class of nineteen sixty six, and I'm here to admit
Speaker 9: to everyone listening to the world, to the Nation station
Speaker 9: here that I was not a very good player. I
Speaker 9: was cannon fodder for the better players. But I did
Speaker 9: have a love for it, and especially when I went
Speaker 9: away to college down to Eastern Kentucky University, they had
Speaker 9: a good football program. I'd go watch them practice and thought,
Speaker 9: you know, this is what I want to do. I
Speaker 9: want to coach football, and I was able to fulfill
Speaker 9: that dream.
Speaker 1: What was your first coaching job.
Speaker 9: My first coaching job was back in Newport at one
Speaker 9: of the elementary schools, Dora Comming, Oh, the old Park
Speaker 9: Avenue School. So I started with fifth and sixth graders.
Speaker 9: You're playing football? Yeah, yeah, fifth and sixth grade, and
Speaker 9: then ended up crossing the creek it was a creek
Speaker 9: at that time, over to Bellevue to further my career
Speaker 9: and coach high school football and eventually became the head
Speaker 9: coach at Bellevue High School and had a great career.
Speaker 9: We have the utmost respect and love for the community
Speaker 9: of Bellevue and what they did for me and my family.
Speaker 1: You also have an enduring love and respect for the
Speaker 1: athletes that came through Northern Kentucky specifically, absolutely, and in
Speaker 1: this book you detail and Seg was in here when
Speaker 1: you guys came in. Charlie's here with his wife, Chee Chee,
Speaker 1: who's marvelous, but she won't talk on the microphones. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the first thing that Seg looked at was the first chapter,
Speaker 1: Bill Aker, mister baseball, and Seg goes, now, that was
Speaker 1: a player man, he was everything back then, tell me
Speaker 1: a little bit about Bill Aker.
Speaker 9: Bill Aker is graduated Covington Holmes High School in the
Speaker 9: late fifties, was an outstanding baseball player. He was going
Speaker 9: to sign with the Reds, but had some type of
Speaker 9: accident and it curtailed that career, actually ended that career.
Speaker 9: He got in the newspaper business, worked for the Cincinnati
Speaker 9: Inquire and when Northern Kentucky State College was established in
Speaker 9: the late sixties, James wait K, doctor James Claypool was
Speaker 9: given the task to start an athletic program, and the
Speaker 9: first program he started was baseball, and he asked Bill
Speaker 9: Aker if he would like to be the coach. And
Speaker 9: there were times I understand Bill had to go through
Speaker 9: the student center and get players for that afternoon game,
Speaker 9: but Bill ended up winning over eight hundred games several
Speaker 9: conference championships. Several players went on to be professional baseball players.
Speaker 9: Pitching coach for the Milwaukee Brewers. Now I can't think
Speaker 9: of his name, but played for Bill at NKU, so
Speaker 9: Bill again a homes graduate Northern Kentucky guy, was an
Speaker 9: outstanding player but became even a better coach.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know about the great career
Speaker 1: of Stan Arngen. After he left high school in the
Speaker 1: weird stand play.
Speaker 9: He played at Newport High School and signed went to
Speaker 9: Moorhead State Teachers College and was signed by the Cleveland
Speaker 9: Indians in baseball and was actually player of the year
Speaker 9: in their minor league system.
Speaker 1: He also played basketball, right he.
Speaker 9: Did, and he did, and was a freshman starter on
Speaker 9: a regional championship basketball team in the late thirties. But
Speaker 9: nineteen forty nine or forty eight became head basketball coach
Speaker 9: at Newport High School and had an outstanding career, won
Speaker 9: five regional championships and I think over four hundred games.
Speaker 9: Was a real innovator. They used zone presses before anybody
Speaker 9: us zoned presses. Colorful coach Newport wore red jim shoes.
Speaker 9: They had knee socks red knee guards, which was unheard
Speaker 9: of at the time. And before the game, the starting
Speaker 9: five would lay down face down on the floor what Yeah,
Speaker 9: with their heads together in a circle, and they would
Speaker 9: say the Lord's Prayer and the cheerleaders.
Speaker 1: That could never happen today.
Speaker 9: The cheerleaders would gather around them and spell out wildcats.
Speaker 9: And so that was Stan Ardsen. A great coach, a
Speaker 9: great innovator.
Speaker 1: And kind of a pt barnum of swords. He was
Speaker 1: a pretty good showman, wasn't he.
Speaker 9: I can remember a game where he could get on
Speaker 9: the officials, you know, and he was getting on the
Speaker 9: officials and he jumped up and said something I can't
Speaker 9: remember where Newport was playing. They were just getting ready
Speaker 9: to team up, and he was stomping his feet. He
Speaker 9: just kept stomping and stomping until he went out into
Speaker 9: the lobby and he bought a coke and then he
Speaker 9: came back.
Speaker 1: Yet in the middle of a gamil the game, he
Speaker 1: stops out, yeah, goes to get a coked consent and
Speaker 1: just comes back and sits on the business. That's the
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. What a great More great stories in this
Speaker 1: book and two people that anyone, even if you uh say,
Speaker 1: are much younger, you would know some of these names
Speaker 1: just because of their incredible careers after they left Northern
Speaker 1: Kentucky sports. Some of them never left Northern Kentucky, like
Speaker 1: senator and Hall of Famer Jim Bunning. Yeah, talk to
Speaker 1: me about Jim Bundy.
Speaker 9: They went to high school a Saint Axe and Cincinnati,
Speaker 9: but he was raised in Southgate, I thinks where you live. Yeah,
Speaker 9: in Southgate, went to St. Teres Elementary School and he
Speaker 9: was quite an athlete in all sports, as most of
Speaker 9: these guys are. And one girl here will talk about.
Speaker 9: But Jim Bunning went to Xavier University, also on a
Speaker 9: basketball scholarship originally, but played baseball and was discovered by
Speaker 9: the Detroit Tigers. And early in his minor league career
Speaker 9: he didn't have a lot of success, and they had
Speaker 9: changed his arm angle, and only three or four years
Speaker 9: into his career, he himself dropped his arm angle where
Speaker 9: he was more comfortable, and from then he became a
Speaker 9: Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the side armor who became a home Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And here's a name that everybody who is familiar with
Speaker 1: you see basketball Lore and then the NBA and ABA

Speaker 9: of Fame Sports Hall of Fame meetings and he would
Speaker 9: bring Jim Brock, his coach, and George Wilson, who had
Speaker 9: played at UC would come and just a real gentleman.
