WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:09.839 Bill cunning in the Great America and welcome with glorious 2 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.359 Thursday afternoon the tri State. The weather should break, we're 3 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.399 told by Channel nine sometime the next day or two 4 00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.359 Saturdays should be nicer. I was in Anderson Township last night. 5 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.559 It rained like crazy for two hours, as hard as 6 00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.440 it can rain, and where I live got absolutely no rain, 7 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.679 but a little bit unusual. Reds Baseball first pitch tonight 8 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.880 is five ten, getting it over quickly. I assume, like 9 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.159 last night's game, Thomas Rhett, it's the big concert. I'm sir, Franklinrose. 10 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.280 Franklerose is a big fan of Thomas Rhett. In fact, 11 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.240 Secretary of State, frank Larrose, have you ever heard of 12 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:44.159 Thomas Rhett? 13 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:45.079 Heard of him? 14 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.200 My taste is a little bit older when it comes 15 00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:50.359 to that. 16 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.880 He's going to rock and roll with you, to pull 17 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.880 It's a great country artist. Tonight after the game and 18 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.159 the Reds play the Oakland A's hopefully better than the 19 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.759 last two nights. First of all, talk about where we 20 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.400 are in voting. I saw online that your office had 21 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.719 found literally thousands and thousands of illegals that were registered 22 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.439 to vote, which of course never happens. Everyone is registered 23 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.120 to vote is completely legitimate. I dare you to question 24 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.760 anyone's illegalities when it come to voting. But what did 25 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.319 you find out, Secretary State Frank LeRose, give me a 26 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:21.040 full report. 27 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.560 Yeah, so we do take it seriously that only US 28 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.359 citizens should be allowed to participate in American elections. And 29 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.879 it's what the Ohio Constitution requires, it's what state and 30 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.040 federal law says, and so yeah, we go through those checks. 31 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.560 It's a multi layer process and it's harder than it 32 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.319 should be because the federal government doesn't help us much 33 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.439 with the databases that they have. They limit our access 34 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.079 to those, but we use all the tools at our disposal. 35 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.840 We go through the voter rules and we identified not thousands, 36 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.239 but several hundred non citizens who were registered to vote, 37 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.519 and we have worked to remove them from the voter 38 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.159 rules and also refer them for prosecutold because when you 39 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.120 register to vote and you're not a US citizen, you 40 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.640 violate the law. And we want people to know that 41 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.560 if you mess around, you'll find out. Don't think that 42 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.879 you can get away with registering to vote in Ohio 43 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:13.879 as a non citizen. 44 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.199 We will catch you and you will face justice for it. 45 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.520 In fact, to the state of Texas, the number is 46 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.520 well north of one hundred thousand, might be as much 47 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.520 as a million illegals registered to vote, and now the 48 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.199 ACLU is suing the Attorney General in Texas for taking 49 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.520 them off the roles. In the state of Ohio, how 50 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.199 does a non citizen actually register to vote? How's that possible? 51 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.800 Well, it can happen a variety of different ways, sometimes 52 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.000 really by no fault of their own. And I'll explain 53 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.960 that when you go into a driver's license office to 54 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.680 get your driver's license to state BMV deputy register our office, 55 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.960 they'll sometimes hand you a voter registration form. We have 56 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.400 found in some cases that non citizens, particularly with limited 57 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.759 English proficiency. Of course they're here on legal status. They're 58 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.639 coming in to get a driver's license, maybe they've got 59 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.919 to work visa or a student visa or whatever else. 60 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.759 They'll fill that voter registration form out. Because when a 61 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.039 government employee hands you a form, if you're grew up 62 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.039 in a foreign country, you fill that thing out and 63 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.479 they'll check the box that says no, I am not 64 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.599 a US citizen at about it. So really they've done 65 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:18.319 nothing wrong. 66 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.240 They filled the form out honestly. 67 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.719 But because of a data entry error by the team 68 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.879 at the Board of Elections, maybe they didn't look at 69 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.719 it close enough and see that box that said no, 70 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.080 I am not a citizen. That's where you end up 71 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.800 with a small percentage again, couple hundred out of eight 72 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.159 million registered voters. Or in some cases it could be intentional, 73 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.199 someone is actually trying to register to vote as a 74 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.280 non citizen. Either way, it's a violation of the law. 75 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.719 We give them a chance to fix it themselves. We 76 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.560 send them a letter in the mail that says, according 77 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.400 to our records, you are a non citizen and registered 78 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.000 to vote. If that's true, we're going to give you 79 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.280 thirty days to withdraw your registration. If they don't take 80 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.919 advantage of that, then yes, we remove them ourselves and 81 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.199 we refer them for prosecution. You mentioned the ACLU and 82 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.800 all of the allied liberal organizations. They always rush to 83 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.000 the courthouse this time of year to try to change 84 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.560 the way elections are run, and it's happening to. 85 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:09.039 Me as well. 86 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.759 It wouldn't surprise me if they come and sue us 87 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.439 as it relates to removing non citizens from the voter roles. 88 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.319 But currently we're facing lawsuits from groups that don't want 89 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:22.000 me to enforce a whole variety of Ohio's election integrity laws, including, 90 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.519 by the way, our ban on. 91 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.720 Foreign nationals funding elections. 92 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.879 I've of course upheld that law, and there's a group 93 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.959 that suing me. We're actually expecting a decision in that 94 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.000 case anytime now. 95 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.920 As far as what's happening in other states, you're very 96 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.240 active with the other forty nine secretaries of state. When 97 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.480 I talk to individuals in Nevada or Texas, they tell 98 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.639 me that when you get your driver's license, don't have 99 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.120 to be a citizen to get a driver's license, that 100 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.040 you're automatically registered to vote in Nevada. When I have 101 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.399 on Tony Bender's good friend Wayne Allen Root, he tells 102 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.879 me there's literally tens of thousands of nevada AND's who 103 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.800 are registered to vote because they have a driver's license. 104 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.319 If you check a form whether you're a citizen or not, 105 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.680 but no one pays attention to whether you're a citizen 106 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.120 or not, you get the ballot in the mail. So, 107 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.800 assuming you're in Ohio and a non citizen gets a 108 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.759 ballot in the mail, I think you're sending out real 109 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.680 soon an application to get an absentee ballot for no 110 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.800 reason at all. You can out do that. Why is 111 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.759 it not a crime if someone checks the box one 112 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.240 way or another or makes a mistake and they actually vote. 113 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:33.560 It seems to me there ought to be some cross 114 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:37.160 reference with all kinds of databases from all the Secretaries 115 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.800 of States in the federal government. It could happen very quickly. 116 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.399 So when you say the Feds aren't helping you, can 117 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.199 you be more specific as to why Joe Biden Kamala 118 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.439 Harris doesn't help you. What is it they could do 119 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.600 that they don't do well. 120 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.839 You hit a couple things here. First of all, Ohio's 121 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.040 example to the rest of the country. There's a reason 122 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.360 why I'm going to testify in Congress next week. They've 123 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.120 asked me to come and testify. There's a reason why 124 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.360 I was elected by my peers to be the chairman 125 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.800 of the Republican Secretary's of State Committee. 126 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:05.360 Nationally. 127 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.680 I spoke at the Republican Lawyers Association just a couple 128 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.959 of weeks ago about election integrity. The rest of the 129 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:13.959 country views Ohio as an example of. 130 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:14.759 How to do this right. 131 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.120 You talked about driver's licenses, in other states where they 132 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:22.720 have automatic voter registration, that's problematic. We don't have automatic 133 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.639 voter registration in Ohio, and what we do have is 134 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.879 a great relationship with our Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The 135 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.639 team over there works very well with us. In fact, 136 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.560 they're one of the best tools we have to find 137 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.680 out who's a citizen and who's not. Because when you 138 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.759 get a driver's license in Ohio, and to be clear, 139 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.680 you must have legal status to get you are If 140 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.199 you are an illegal alien, you cannot get a driver's 141 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.680 license at Ohio. But when you go to get a 142 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:51.360 driver's license, you have to prove your status. You're either 143 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.240 a most of us don't remember when we got our 144 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.240 first driver's license back at sixteen years old, but you 145 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.199 have to bring your birth certificate when you do that 146 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.639 right to prove identity, or if you are here on 147 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.680 a student visa or on a work visa, you have 148 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.240 to prove your legal status. So the Ohio Bureau Motor 149 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.800 Vehicle knows without a doubt who's a citizen and who's not, 150 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:11.959 and they're one of the best tools we have. The 151 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.639 federal government has access to other databases and as I 152 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.199 was mentioning they're not forthcoming with those they charge us fees. 153 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.600 They make it very difficult for us to access those databases. 154 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:23.839 In fact, right now I. 155 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.519 Am considering legal action against the Biden administration because there 156 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.000 are three databases that the Department of Homeland Security is 157 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.800 supposed to give us access to. I have been asking 158 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.399 for access to those databases and they have thus far 159 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.040 not granted that because we need all the tools that 160 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.199 we can have to detect and remove non citizens from 161 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.160 the voter rules to make sure that Ohio remains the 162 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.199 gold standard for election integrity. 163 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.959 And almost makes you think the Biden administration wants illegals 164 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.759 to vote. Now, other states have different state laws, So 165 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.759 if the state law is different in Arizona, California, and Nevada, 166 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.000 if the state law there is different, you would then 167 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.319 have thousands of legal voting unless do you have an 168 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.959 aggressive secretary of state? Is that fair to say? 169 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.439 It's potentially that case. 170 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.879 And this is why it's so important that people attention 171 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.439 to Secretary of state raises and why it's so good 172 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.600 that Ohio has chosen a conservative who's actually going to 173 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.279 enforce the law. And that's what my team does each 174 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:21.279 and every day. Election integrity matters, and you know this 175 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.480 is something that I think Republicans and Democrats want us to. 176 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.040 Do to uphold the law. 177 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.639 If you dive into the cesspool of social media from 178 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.039 time to time, you will see all kinds of leftists 179 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.440 insulting me for taking dead people off the voter rules, 180 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.600 for taking non citizens off the voter roles. They say 181 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.200 that I'm suppressing the vote and other things. Couldn't be 182 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.000 the furthest from the truth. What we're actually doing. We're 183 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:47.279 increasing voter participation because people want to participate in an 184 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.759 election that they know is honest, and if they think 185 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.279 the election's not honest, they're more likely to skip it. 186 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:53.080 Huh. 187 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.039 Secondly, what about Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Is he on 188 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.320 the ballot in Ohio and the fact that he said 189 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.799 he's not gonna accept he's not gonna win anyway, but 190 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.399 he wants to be off the ballot. Is RFK Junior 191 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.919 on the ballot in the state of Ohio. 192 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:09.919 He will not be. 193 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.639 He did qualify for the ballot, he got the right 194 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.120 number of signatures. But I actually got a letter from 195 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.960 him last week saying I wish to have my name 196 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.000 removed from the ballot. He got that to us in 197 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.440 time to do so. And so when we start printing 198 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.519 out ballots, and by the way, we start sending out 199 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.240 absentee ballots to our overseas and military personnel in just 200 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.240 a couple of weeks, So people are going to start 201 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.639 voting here very soon, and his name will not be 202 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:34.799 on the ballot in Ohaio. 203 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.080 Does this endorsement if Trump mean anything? Then legally, in 204 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.519 the state of Ohio, I would assume nothing except for 205 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:44.600 political purposes. If someone might be persuaded who was a 206 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:49.440 Kennedy voter to vote for Trump, but legally there'll be 207 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.000 no Kennedy on the ballot. Now, Tony Bender has a question. 208 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:55.399 What if Tony Bender's unhappy with Trump and he's unhappy 209 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.240 with Biden and wants to write in someone's name. He's 210 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:02.279 thinking about writing my name in? Is that legal? If 211 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.960 you have a rite in, can you put someone in there? 212 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.000 And will that be counted? 213 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.200 It's a common misconception, and we get this every year 214 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.799 where people write in all kinds of names. By the way, 215 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:15.759 if you ever do decide to run for president, let 216 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.679 me know I'll be the first one there to endorse you. Though, 217 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.679 But you know if you're not a certified right in candidate, 218 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.000 that vote does not count. So what that means is 219 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.559 you actually have to be a certified right in candidate. 220 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.559 These are people that generally missed the deadline to get 221 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.519 their name on or whatever else. Nobody's ever had a 222 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.639 chance of winning as a right in for president. But 223 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.759 at the local level, for a city council race or 224 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.039 school board race, sometimes right ends are successful. But you 225 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.519 have to be a certified right in candidate. You can't 226 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.879 just a voter. Can't just write in any old random 227 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:47.840 name and expect that to receive a vote. 228 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:51.080 Now there goes my electoral hopes. But how do you 229 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.080 become a certified ride in? What do you got to do? 230 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.080 Become certified? If I want to become a certified right in, 231 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:56.840 what do you have to do? 232 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.159 Yeah, there's a process where you have to submit some 233 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.919 information to usually the county Board of Elections if you're 234 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.720 running as a right in at the local level, or 235 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.960 to us if you're seeking to run as a right 236 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.159 in at the state wide level. 237 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.960 So, in other words, it's quite a Joe Dieters. A 238 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:17.600 few years ago we had a right in election for 239 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.960 county prosecutor believe it or not, This is like ten 240 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.720 fifteen years ago because the prosecutor in charge left office 241 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.200 quickly and so there was a write in. Joe Deeters 242 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.080 Hamilton County won the prosecutor's office on a rite in. 243 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.120 What are the odds of that happening? He won? 244 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:34.759 Yeah? 245 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:36.200 If you heard about what that says? 246 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.639 Something about theaters, that says something about his name I 247 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.120 D and campaigning. Now, if you have like a four 248 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.879 syllable last name, I would encourage you not to try 249 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:45.679 something like that. 250 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:51.200 Though, now so illegals, you're on it. RFK Junior was 251 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.600 going to be on the ballot. He took his name off. 252 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:55.919 He's going to be on the ballot in several states 253 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.200 because the secretaries of states in those states did not 254 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.919 have the authority to take him off the ballot once 255 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.440 he's qualified. But you're saying, Ohio, he's going to be 256 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.360 on five or six state ballots when Kennedy does want 257 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.080 to be on the state ballot, but they had a 258 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.840 state law that says you can't take him off. So 259 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.879 he's going to be on the ballot, but Ohio is 260 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:14.759 not one of those states. Now, lastly, you told me 261 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.799 off the air you've been back like two or three 262 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.039 days from army training. Explain what you've been doing the 263 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.080 past two or three weeks. You were in the South 264 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.759 and it was somewhat warm. Explain that. 265 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.480 Yeah, So I was actually down at what's now called 266 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.600 Fort Liberty, North Carolina, used to be Fort Bragg. I 267 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.679 think you know. I'm a reservist in the Army. I'm 268 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.200 an East seven, which is a sergeant first class, and 269 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.200 there's a required school called the Senior Leaders Course that 270 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.039 I had to graduate from. So I was at the 271 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.600 Special Warfare Center, which is where Green Berets go for 272 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:46.919 this kind of thing. And I'm happy to say, at 273 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.039 forty five years old, I can still keep up with 274 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.720 the young Green Berets, and so I guess I'm doing 275 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:52.399 something right there. 276 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:54.320 So if you're called up, what does that mean? I 277 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.759 mean that means the country's invaded or what do we do? 278 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.639 I mean, this could be an ugly situation. Look what's 279 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.360 happening in parts of the world in which invasions are 280 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.600 taking place. If you're called up for duty, you'd be 281 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.120 forty five years old doing what. 282 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:08.919 Well. 283 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.879 Again, as a Green Beret and as a member of 284 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.519 a special Forces unit, I do get quite a bit 285 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.240 of flexibility with that. I generally work with my unit 286 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.799 commander on a yearly basis to lay out my training 287 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.639 schedule because they understand that I also have a responsibility 288 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.200 to the citizens of Ohio. So there have been a 289 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.240 number of members of Congress, even members of the US 290 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:32.519 Senate over the years, statewide office holders who are also reservists. Thankfully, 291 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.360 the Defense Department understands that you have to balance your 292 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.200 military obligation with your civilian obligations and in this case, 293 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.080 my official responsibilities to. 294 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:41.799 The people of Ohio. 295 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.960 So they give me some flexibility, but I get in 296 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.519 the number of weeks I need every year, usually by 297 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.159 helping support my unit with training and other things that 298 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.559 they're doing. Listen, if something happened to my nation needed me, 299 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.519 I would probably serve. And I've served in combat before 300 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.000 on a number of occasions and wouldn't shy away from 301 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.480 the opportunity to do so again. 302 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:05.120 Lastly, what's the status of reapportionment. There's a ballot issue 303 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.759 that was going to be on the ballot in Ohio. 304 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.000 I think some of the language language was different as 305 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.440 we sider at the end of August. What's the status 306 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:15.440 of reapportionment the districts being on the ballot this November. 307 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:16.559 Is that going to happen or not. 308 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.399 Yeah, So there is what is now called Issue one, 309 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.559 which is a I would consider it a left wing 310 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.519 effort to try to rewrite the way that district lines 311 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.960 get drawn. Me, as a member of the chairman of 312 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.200 the ballot board, write the language that appears on the ballot. 313 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:38.720 We wrote a truthful and honest assessment of what that 314 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.360 constitutional amendment would actually do. 315 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.240 Now, think about this. 316 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:47.759 It's thirteen thousand words long. This amendment, this very complex 317 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.480 Rube Goldberg device that they're trying to build here for 318 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.519 redistricting is thirteen thousand words long. 319 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.200 That's an amendment to the Ohio Constitution. 320 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:01.200 The entire US Constitution is seven thousand, five hundred words long. 321 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.399 And so yes, we had to we use ten bullet 322 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:06.799 points to kind of explain what this does. I'm being 323 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.120 sued by a group of leftists now that are upset 324 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.840 about how truthful our language was. That's going to be 325 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:14.840 in front of the Ohio Supreme Court and it's going 326 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.840 to be up to them to decide if our language stands. 327 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.679 But that will be a choice that Ohioans get to 328 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.039 make this November if they want to put a bunch 329 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:25.720 of unaccountable individuals in charge of essentially requiring them to 330 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:30.879 jerrymander the state to accomplish a predetermined political outcome, which 331 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:32.960 I think is a pretty cynical way of viewing this. 332 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.440 So someone in the ballot box would have to stand 333 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.039 there and read thirteen thousand words to and then try 334 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.200 to understand what they're saying before they vote. Are you 335 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:42.679 kidding me? How does that work? 336 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:43.039 Well? 337 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.080 Well, and that's why we write the summary language that 338 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.320 actually appears on the ballot. So no, what we wrote 339 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:51.759 was ten bullet points. That's what will appear on the 340 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.519 ballot that was voted on and approved by the Ohio 341 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.840 Ballot Board. It's now being there's a lawsuit to test 342 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.120 whether that is is going to stand or not, and 343 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.000 that's in front of the US Supreme Court. If you 344 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:05.600 want to read all thirteen thousand words, it will be 345 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.600 posted at your voting locate. 346 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:09.399 Great, I encourage. 347 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.159 You to step out of line because it's going to 348 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.600 take you half an hour to read all of that. 349 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:15.159 You have the right to do that. 350 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.120 We're also required to publish it on our website. Publish 351 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.039 it in the newspapers with just as a boon for 352 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.799 the newspapers. But the law requires us to publish that 353 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:29.159 long ballot the constitutional amendment language three times in newspapers 354 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:31.679 of general circulation, that kind of thing. So Ohilan's had 355 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.320 the chance to educate themselves on it. It's a very 356 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.039 complex amendment and an I for one, I'm opposing it. 357 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.240 Well, I oppose it also is kind of stupid. A 358 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.399 lot of bunch of academics and others take the place 359 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:45.200 of voters who do decide who the officeholders are to 360 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.960 make these decisions. Once again, Franklerosa, thank you for your service, 361 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:51.679 and we'll see what happens down the road. But once again, 362 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.679 thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show this 363 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:54.799 Thursday afternoon. 364 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.440 Thank you very much, Frank, see you back in the 365 00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:58.279 Queen City soon. 366 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.120 Take care, God bless America. Continue with more, and there's 367 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:04.160 my endorsement as a writing candidate for the presidency. Frank 368 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.200 Leroe stands with the great American. Let's continue with more. 369 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:12.799 Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WLWIN. Billy Cunningham, I 370 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.680 have a text here from Bob the Bricklayer, and Bob 371 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.319 the Bricklayer does excellent stone work. His son works in 372 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.720 Deer Park as a fire a fighter and a paramedic, 373 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:24.759 and he says it's hotter than the hinges of Hell. 374 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.240 I certainly agree. That's why I'm going to play golf 375 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:29.440 this afternoon after i get off the airt three o'clock, 376 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.599 the great bart Tosick, the Flying Tunes and more. I 377 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:35.519 like playing golf when it's hot, get more benefit out 378 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.960 of it. After one o'clock today will be Richard K. Jones. 379 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.559 You know, some eyebrows have been raised, and this is 380 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.359 a rather interesting issue. Richard K. Jones, who tends to 381 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.359 be a bit liberal at times, seemingly is going to 382 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:54.079 charge the victims of theft five thousand dollars to provide 383 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:59.279 police services. You might recall Liberty Township Minard's a great facility. 384 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:01.079 I've been up there one or two times. May make 385 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.079 penny and I may make a run up there this 386 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.559 weekend and see what's going on. But you've seen the 387 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.480 video of these numerous thieves running out I think Dick's 388 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.640 Sporting Goods with thousands of dollars worth of materials and 389 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.799 shopping carts, getting into a vehicle without a license plate 390 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.799 in front. Or back and leaving and then the sheriff 391 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.799 are fored a five thousand dollars reward for information leading 392 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:24.480 to the rest of these women and within three or 393 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.160 four days because of intelligence. Also, I think he worked 394 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:32.160 with the intelligence unit of Charmaine mcguffey's Sheriff's department in 395 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:36.799 Hamlet County because she has that facial recognition technology. Believe 396 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.119 it or not, Richard K. Jones likes quite a bit 397 00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.599 Charmaine McGuffey and Charmaine McGuffey likes Richard K. Jones talk 398 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.240 about odd bedfellows right there. But some have raised a 399 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.480 little bit of eyebrows, thinking, I wait a minute. Liberty 400 00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:55.079 Township the mall there in large strip centers and all 401 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.079
