Speaker 1: I Totaly Cunningham, the Great American back from the investiture
Speaker 1: of this a fancy work created by lawyers, the investitor
Speaker 1: of Joseph T and T Jaters from Supreme Court of Ohio.
Speaker 1: He was sworn in yesterday by Tanyo O'Rourke and his
Speaker 1: kids also robed him. So to speak. I had some
Speaker 1: funging comments to make about Joe TNT Deaters. I'll tell
Speaker 1: the story briefly. I know Jim mooreing time is valuable
Speaker 1: and he's waiting. But in nineteen eighty five, I was
Speaker 1: down at the Hamlety County Board of Elections doing my
Speaker 1: show as I did every election cycle, and I always
Speaker 1: dealt with the big issues and the big candidates. In
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five and a guy named Joe Dieters was
Speaker 1: running with Frank Weichel, and there was two seats to
Speaker 1: be elected in Springfield Township. The incumbents were Frank Weichel
Speaker 1: of the inquir and also John wax Munsky. And running
Speaker 1: with Frank Weichael was a young man named Joe Dieters.
Speaker 1: And he taps you on the shoulder at the Board
Speaker 1: of Elections doing my show during the break, and I
Speaker 1: turnaround and he plaps me on the shoulder and says, hey,
Speaker 1: can I get on the air? And I said, what's
Speaker 1: your name? He said, Joe Dieters. I said, didn't you
Speaker 1: just lose to John wax Munsky. He said, yes, I did.
Speaker 1: I said, you got no chance, You're done. No, you
Speaker 1: can't get on the air. So with that yesterday I
Speaker 1: turned around and point to justice Joe Dieters, and I said,
Speaker 1: I guess I was wrong. Something became of that guy.
Speaker 1: But that's a different issue. And also we got you see,
Speaker 1: and Xavier's just dominating their leagues. You see, looks great, wonderful.
Speaker 1: It's a big ten, big twelve, big fourteen, not sure
Speaker 1: what it is. And of course Xavier is unbelievable. They're
Speaker 1: at home, they're undefeated, untied, unscored on and I think
Speaker 1: the two teams have played a total of nine games
Speaker 1: in their league and they're one in eight, kind of
Speaker 1: like the Bengal was the first two games of the
Speaker 1: season for the last five or six years. But joining
Speaker 1: me now with glory as Jim Mooring at the Holy
Speaker 1: Grail and also from the banks, Jim, is there anything
Speaker 1: we look forward to other than the Reds Pitchers and
Speaker 1: Casher's reporting in thirty two days athletically.
Speaker 2: You know, eleven weeks from tomorrow you will be down
Speaker 2: at my wonderful establishment and giving us an oration that
Speaker 2: I will tell you. I have them all recorded in
Speaker 2: the last ten years, and one gets better than the other.
Speaker 1: Well, this show come up, start.
Speaker 2: Writing down the notes. Do you think the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: Justice will come and join us on opening day this year?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if he does, I'm gonna bring up
Speaker 3: this story.
Speaker 1: About this guy wax Monsky.
Speaker 2: I gotta think it's wax Monsky.
Speaker 1: Wax Monsky. But to his credit, Joe went he won
Speaker 1: the next eleven races. But nonetheless, to start off with
Speaker 1: that lass, you know.
Speaker 2: He when's out there working hard, and he's working hard
Speaker 2: for us now.
Speaker 1: All right now, he says working double. I mean, he
Speaker 1: is doing great work. And I love the guy. If
Speaker 1: he was a woman, I kiss him right on the lips.
Speaker 1: Of course, he's got Tanyo O'Rourke to do that. Waking
Speaker 1: up every morning with her is not a bad thing,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I could not agree more. She seems like a fan.
Speaker 1: She's a wonderful being, she's a good lady, when.
Speaker 2: You when you when you had all your willies, didn't
Speaker 2: you always dream of, Hey, this would be great with
Speaker 2: the Bengals going nine and eight. The Reds were not
Speaker 2: at the park. Now the thing that should be leading
Speaker 2: us through the winter season. Oh, I beloved UC Bearcats
Speaker 2: and Zager looking the way they do.
Speaker 1: Miller time. It's Miller time at both schools. Time to
Speaker 1: start drinking. But can we talk about the facts. We
Speaker 1: had a news conference about a half an hour ago
Speaker 1: and it dealt with I guess the powers that be
Speaker 1: are kind of saying, at least now that the new
Speaker 1: so called coliseum will not be at the Banks, will
Speaker 1: not be in its present location. It's going to be
Speaker 1: maybe over the overlap of I seventy five when they
Speaker 1: redo that thing in maybe the twenty second century. Or
Speaker 1: it might be up by t it might be up
Speaker 1: by FCC Stadium, might be there, might be somewhere else.
Speaker 1: And what are the merchants that the Banks think about this?
Speaker 2: You know, the first and foremost we've been talking about
Speaker 2: this arena, you know in two thousand and one, yes
Speaker 2: when I was named the vice president and general manager
Speaker 2: down at then the First Star Center. Now Harodan's Bank Arena.
Speaker 2: You know, we went in there and we knew that
Speaker 2: the arena haanced issues that had been renovated in ninety seven,
Speaker 2: and we started the conversations about either renovating or moving
Speaker 2: things forward. So for it to get to a point
Speaker 2: now where the Chamber has stepped in really taken a
Speaker 2: grasp of this thing and said, okay, we're lining everybody up.
Speaker 2: We need a new arena. The folks that run the
Speaker 2: arena right now, they're great folks. They are busting their butts.
Speaker 2: They've got some great events down there, but they know
Speaker 2: that they have challenges now. They know that we need
Speaker 2: something challenging. So to get to a point where we
Speaker 2: are all now aligned to say, hey, let's get everybody
Speaker 2: on the same page. We need a new arena in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: But is it gonna you want it to be? Let's
Speaker 1: cut through the bs. You wanted to be in this
Speaker 1: present location and the powers that be Brendan Call, etc.
Speaker 1: Don't want to put it there. Correct.
Speaker 2: Well, the study came out and it didn't have that listed.
Speaker 2: What we're saying is, you know, as you know, there's
Speaker 2: been about three billion dollars spent on the infrastructure for the.
Speaker 1: Banks, right, a lot of money. Yeah, we hosts.
Speaker 2: You know this past year you had Luke Combes and
Speaker 2: the Reds on the same night. Two years ago you
Speaker 2: had Taylor Swift and the Reds on the same night.
Speaker 2: They brought Octoberfest to us. This year, everybody is very
Speaker 2: comfortable and understanding on how to get to the banks.
Speaker 2: All of the infrastructure being all the roads, all the highways.
Speaker 2: You know, remember how Fort Washington Way was at Spaghetti
Speaker 2: mess They streamlined it. You have a huge Second and
Speaker 2: Third Street that was all designed to handle the crowds
Speaker 2: for Paul Brown Stadium, for a American, for your ballpark,
Speaker 2: and for the arena. It was all gritted to make
Speaker 2: sure that this was all centered around the Banks. We
Speaker 2: have all spent a lot of money making sure that
Speaker 2: that infrastructure was going to be there. Secondly, you have
Speaker 2: a five thousand person parking garage that is right underneath
Speaker 2: all of us, that feeds all of us. Our contention
Speaker 2: is will be and we're going to add Look, this
Speaker 2: is to advocate to have the arena at the Banks,
Speaker 2: and that is what we are going to continue to do.
Speaker 2: Not only do all the infrastructure numbers point that way,
Speaker 2: but the actual cost points that way. You know, there
Speaker 2: is a study. I'm told that the arena will fit
Speaker 2: where it's at and that it would be approximately six
Speaker 2: hundred and six million dollars versus what the study is
Speaker 2: coming out and saying anywhere from eight hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: or I'm sorry, six hundred and fifty million to eight
Speaker 2: hundred million. We think it's the best place.
Speaker 1: Whoever, whoever pays for, whoever pays for the band calls
Speaker 1: the tune and the chamber, who's putting up the money
Speaker 1: for this? Because you know, we've got a billionaire and
Speaker 1: a billion there, and suddenly we're to start talking about
Speaker 1: real money. Who's going to pay for like seven hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars?
Speaker 2: Well, and that's look if if somebody is going to
Speaker 2: come out and there as a private investor that's going
Speaker 2: to come out and say, hey, here's you know, four
Speaker 2: or five hundred million dollars towards this project, right, they
Speaker 2: can pick wherever the heck they want to put it.
Speaker 2: That's awesome, that's fantastic. I would love to see that.
Speaker 2: If we're going to get public dollars involved, you know,
Speaker 2: we need to have I don't even say it a
Speaker 2: thing not seated at the table. We're just here advocating,
Speaker 2: saying doesn't make the most sense to utilize all the
Speaker 2: assets that are currently in place and put this arena
Speaker 2: where you know it is currently or sub version of
Speaker 2: that at the banks.
Speaker 1: Now, let me let me ask you a big question, Jay,
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the big question? Early on Jim
Speaker 1: Brendan call in the chamber along with the powers that be,
Speaker 1: does not have the present location in the final three.
Speaker 1: They must know that they're not. They must know everything
Speaker 1: you know, and so they factor everything you said and
Speaker 1: everything you believe, especially at your news conference half an
Speaker 1: hour ago. The the factor that in not selecting the
Speaker 1: Heritage Bank Center is the place. So what are they
Speaker 1: thinking that you maybe maybe you don't know, don't relate
Speaker 1: or whatever it be. Could it be that lender at
Speaker 1: FCC is going to put up the five hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars and put it right next to TQL Stadium.
Speaker 2: That would be fantastic private money. That's that's their call, Willy.
Speaker 2: You know that that's free enterprise, right, If that's where
Speaker 2: you know, if their donors or people that are going
Speaker 2: to take on this project, I would love them for it.
Speaker 2: It would be fantastic, put it wherever the heck they
Speaker 2: want to put it. That that is their prerogative as entrepreneurs,
Speaker 2: as business owners. More power to you. But you know
Speaker 2: what we're hearing, and it's very public, was that you
Speaker 2: know two thirds of this project is going to be
Speaker 2: publicly financed. A third will be financed. Okay, if there's two,
Speaker 2: it's going to be public dollars. We're advocating that it
Speaker 2: is down at the banks.
Speaker 1: And the other the other factor, Jim Mooring of Holy
Speaker 1: Grail and the banks. Is this that I can recall
Speaker 1: about twenty years ago when Chaz Lucan the first is
Speaker 1: like Ramsys, he's going to put a lid over the
Speaker 1: top of Fort Washington Way, and they did certain infrastructure
Speaker 1: to make sure the lid would work in the future.
Speaker 1: And now they're talking about taking that lid, put it
Speaker 1: on Fort Washington Way where the snow cannot be cleared,
Speaker 1: and that's going to be reclaimed ten to fifteen acres,
Speaker 1: which is right up against the banks. I'll ask you
Speaker 1: the question, fantastic is that a reality at this point
Speaker 1: some twenty years later or not?
Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you. Since you want to invoke
Speaker 2: our Mayor Luken. When I took this arena out of
Speaker 2: Bennett Eye, when we took the arena out of bankruptcy,
Speaker 2: I was the vice president and general manager starting in
Speaker 2: two thousand and one. I had all kinds of ideas
Speaker 2: and things we want to do, and here's how we
Speaker 2: need to change some things and we can renovate and
Speaker 2: do some more stuff. And I was holding a press
Speaker 2: conference because we had gone out and secured conference USA's
Speaker 2: department for was it two thousand and two or yeah,
Speaker 2: two thousand and two, And I'm all excited. I'm meeting
Speaker 2: the mayor for the first time. And he looked at
Speaker 2: me and he said, Jimmy, we should have got a
Speaker 2: new arena when we did these other two buildings. We
Speaker 2: screwed it up. We should have put everything together one time.
Speaker 2: So that was, you know, I hate to say it,
Speaker 2: I'm getting a little bit older. That was twenty three
Speaker 2: years ago. Wow, And it was identified and then as
Speaker 2: an issue. It is identified now is a huge issue,
Speaker 2: and you know, we need to get moving on this.
Speaker 2: I think everybody's lock step down. I think it's a
Speaker 2: fantastic thing that we've got to this point. You know,
Speaker 2: as a business owner, down there. The great thing about it,
Speaker 2: Willie is you know, the folks that run the arena
Speaker 2: right now are busting their asses with some great events, right.
Speaker 2: You know, that's the thing that people tend to forget
Speaker 2: is artists want to come to the city. They just
Speaker 2: had Jelly Roll, your favorite artist, you know, jelly Roll.
Speaker 1: I love Jelly row Man. He had that song as
Speaker 1: religious in its context, and you do know, I know,
Speaker 1: I know jelly rolls Save me, Lord Save me. I
Speaker 1: like jelly Roll and his life and from a prison
Speaker 1: cell to music city. I mean, you're talking about a
Speaker 1: guy that lived at all heroin dealer, ank all over
Speaker 1: his body, fat as the segment, terrible condition. Now he's
Speaker 1: running marathons and he's a star. I love jelly Roll.
Speaker 1: In fact, I like to enjoy. I like to dak somehow,
Speaker 1: and then I love jelly.
Speaker 2: Rom Back off of segment.
Speaker 1: I'm recording the facts of facts.
Speaker 2: That's all I do as a business owner at the
Speaker 2: banks and I and this is not just the Holy
Speaker 2: grailit I have to say, this is all the bank's
Speaker 2: stakeholders steel. The same way, the fact that Jelly Roll
Speaker 2: was there on a Monday night November was huge for
Speaker 2: a business. In fact, Bisley Eilish came in, you had
Speaker 2: Dayton and you see playing down there, you know, on
Speaker 2: a Friday night in December huge for us. This week
Speaker 2: you've got certisile A coming in.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: If you look at the canter in January and February,
Speaker 2: that arena is busy virtually every Friday and Saturday night.
Speaker 2: That's impot a time when we would when we would
Speaker 2: be the slowest. But you know, Ray and Christmas folks
Speaker 2: are busting their butt. They know, just like everybody else does.
Speaker 2: That arena has challenges. And it's time for the city,
Speaker 2: the county, everybody to get together and embrace the fact that, yes,
Speaker 2: we need a new arena.
Speaker 1: It's got to happen with the Energy Center, with a
Speaker 1: new hotel. And you can't you can't have a crappy arena.
Speaker 1: And I know Heritage is punching above their pay grade,
Speaker 1: but let's face it, it can't be. It's got to
Speaker 1: be modern, it's got to be built, It's got to
Speaker 1: be somewhere. I'm going to have on later Brendan call
Speaker 1: what should we tell Brent? What should I tell Brendan
Speaker 1: call of the chamber about why it should be at
Speaker 1: the banks.
Speaker 2: It makes the most sense. It's just it's you know,
Speaker 2: when our buddy Mo always says, where the common sense
Speaker 2: guy at I want to be the common sense guy
Speaker 2: that says, too many things lead to lead us to this.
Speaker 2: It brings us right back to the bank's location. And
Speaker 2: let's let's have the meaningful conversation about that. And you
Speaker 2: know that's what we're going to do next. We are
Speaker 2: going to go to the elected officials and say, hey,
Speaker 2: we're down here. We're going to raise our hand and
Speaker 2: maybe stump our feet a little bit and say, you know,
Speaker 2: this is this is kind of weird that we were
Speaker 2: left out of this process. All right, Jim, that's the process.
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying, Yeah, you're in that
Speaker 2: it should be identified, right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, if someone puts up the money, so be it.
Speaker 1: But if it's mainly public money, then the public needs
Speaker 1: an input, a big input.
Speaker 2: Agreed to, a thousand agree, one thousand percent. Look if somebody,
Speaker 2: if somebody's coming up with that check, i'd love them,
Speaker 2: thank you for doing it, thanks for helping out the city.
Speaker 2: But if it's going to be two thirds public money,
Speaker 2: then you know, let's do what we think is the
Speaker 2: right thing and the most prudent thing, and that's to
Speaker 2: put the arene in the Thanks all.
Speaker 1: Right, Jim Mooring on four to my speech on Red's
Speaker 1: opening day, And this year I have.
Speaker 2: A eleven weeks eleven weeks more.
Speaker 1: It's going to be unbelievable and the play is gonna
Speaker 1: be hopefully that's not bad. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do with him and Matt McLain. I
Speaker 1: thought he was kind of uh the second basement. Maybe
Speaker 1: not in of course you have you have Martee at
Speaker 1: a third not performing, so we'll see what happens. But uh,
Speaker 1: I'm more I could not. I am so I'm optimist.
Speaker 1: I'm optimistic.
Speaker 2: You got t have you have you have you met?
Speaker 2: You got to talk to Tito yet.
Speaker 1: No I haven't. Uh, Marty and I and Tino are
Speaker 1: going to play golf when he gets back here because
Speaker 1: he wants got to Kenwood and play. And I said,
Speaker 1: absolutely a fourth you're it because we're going to get
Speaker 1: out there. I think I love that guy. He was
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's baseball manager and uh, he's got a couple
Speaker 1: of World Series rings and they wouldn't have hired him,
Speaker 1: but they weren't ready to win. And I think the
Speaker 1: Reds this year are ready to win. I might be wrong.
Speaker 1: I've been proven wrong in the past since nineteen ninety,
Speaker 1: don't now thirty five years. But this point is at
Speaker 1: the point I think the Reds are going to arise.
Speaker 1: It's going to be the hunt for a Red's October,
Speaker 1: is what I say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cannot agree more. And you know what next year,
Speaker 2: are beloved bangles, watch out, watch out. I think this
Speaker 2: is a wake up call this year.
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope. All I have is hope. That's
Speaker 1: all I have is hope. And Jim moooring, I'll do
Speaker 1: my part and thank you very much and we'll see you.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Yeah, I appreciate you so so much.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Hi, Jim, You're the best.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more. I'm going to get into the
Speaker 1: issue also as to why your street isn't cleared. I've
Speaker 1: spoken to some public officials who try to explain it
Speaker 1: to me that at one point you have the township
Speaker 1: or the city, at another point you have the county
Speaker 1: or the state. Then another point you got the state
Speaker 1: or the Fed. You've got the Feds of the state,
Speaker 1: the county, of the city, the township of the city, municipality,
Speaker 1: and then you go back and forth, and I want
Speaker 1: to know, what in the hell is going on around
Speaker 1: this place, and why can't you get off Mount Adams.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's continue, Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW Man, Okay, let you and not get into
Speaker 1: the issues now. I have coming up at one o'clock
Speaker 1: Tom Weedman, who is the Sycamore Township Trustee but also president.
Speaker 1: He's the Joe Biden of the Township Trustees Associations, in
Speaker 1: which many questions need to be raised about the inability
Speaker 1: of city government and county government and township government to
Speaker 1: clear the roads. A basic function of government is to
Speaker 1: keep the roads open, would you agree. I had a
Speaker 1: conversation with him last night in his modified palacial estate
Speaker 1: talking about how come when I've noticed that certain parts
Speaker 1: of a township, Sycamore Township, Kenwood roads are cleared and
Speaker 1: other parts they're not cleared of the same township. He
Speaker 1: talked to me about incorporated and unincorporated parts of the township.
Speaker 1: We then got into municipal road clearing, the plowing, municipal
Speaker 1: road clearing, of course, is different than township road clearing.
Speaker 1: And as you know, there's always a line between the
Speaker 1: city and the township, and that line normally has a
Speaker 1: little sign off to their heights. I welcome to the
Speaker 1: City of Deer Park, or welcome to Green Township. You're
Speaker 1: out of the municipalities, out of Harrison, out of the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati. I think does it the worst way.
Speaker 1: And at some point I want to hear from you
Speaker 1: about your area. I know everyone listens to my talk
Speaker 1: show from twelve to three to try to get you
Speaker 1: some help. And I'll give credit to Seth Walsh who
Speaker 1: came on with Sloany this morning to talk about well,
Speaker 1: things are messy, things are screwed up. We simply have
Speaker 1: to do better because these things are happening again and
Speaker 1: again and again. You can't scale a snow operation to
Speaker 1: having ten inches or twelve inches or fourteen inches followed
Speaker 1: by thick ice very many times a year because you
Speaker 1: don't have enough personnel to do it, and the personnel
Speaker 1: are working double, triple and quadruple time. As you may know.
Speaker 1: But if you live in Mount Adams or certain parts
Speaker 1: of Green Township or the City of Harrison, you're screwed,
Speaker 1: blue tattooed, and barbecued. You can't get out, you can't
Speaker 1: get to work. In fact, if you live on Mount Adams,
Speaker 1: I think about eight thousand people live there, you can't
Speaker 1: get on Mount Adams. You can't get off because there's
Speaker 1: no snow plowing at all on Mount Adams. To hear
Speaker 1: the argument of the so called administration of city manager
Speaker 1: Cheryl Loong talking about, well, we have nowhere to put
Speaker 1: the snow. As you may know, the Great Americans spent
Speaker 1: about five years in New York City doing my television show,
Speaker 1: and I watched it every time it snowed in New
Speaker 1: York City. As they had back they had back hoes,
Speaker 1: they had backloaders, they had trucks, dump trucks, and they
Speaker 1: had front end loaders. And what they would do, would
Speaker 1: we have the dump truck in front of the front
Speaker 1: end loader. They would load up the snow, put it
Speaker 1: in the back of the large dump truck and then
Speaker 1: take it down to the east of the Harlem River
Speaker 1: where the Hudson. They drop it in the river and
Speaker 1: then go back and get some more. To hear from
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati, well we have no where to
Speaker 1: put it. Are you kidding me. We have a large
Speaker 1: body of water called the Ohio River, which is next
Speaker 1: to Mount Adams. That's where you put the snow. New
Speaker 1: York City is not the best run city in the world,
Speaker 1: in fact to one of the worst. But at least
Speaker 1: they can clear snow and the traffic problems and the
Speaker 1: cars parked and all that, and the number of cars
Speaker 1: is much greater than the city of Cincinnati. So I
Speaker 1: have to have pirival ought to say, get a hold
Speaker 1: of Boston, get a hold of Washington, DC, get a
Speaker 1: hold in New York City. A lot more people, a
Speaker 1: lot more snow, and the coverage is a whole lot
Speaker 1: better than the city of Cincinnati. You simply get a
Speaker 1: front end loader and have a truck, and you pick
Speaker 1: up the snow and you drop it in the large truck.
Speaker 1: It could be a dump truck or something else. And
Speaker 1: then you work up the hill and you keep having
Speaker 1: trucks behind you to fill it up with snow some more,
Speaker 1: take it down to the river and dump it, or
Speaker 1: dump it somewhere else. Saw your point, Dump it somewhere
Speaker 1: other than Mount Adams. It is simply not an answer
Speaker 1: to say that I'm sorry, we can't get you. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to you later. When I look at my app
Speaker 1: it appears that the temperature are going to be well
Speaker 1: below freezing for the next two weeks, and in fact,
Speaker 1: as far as far as the eye can see, we're
Speaker 1: going to have ice everywhere. The most basic function of
Speaker 1: government is to keep the roads and bridges open. Would
Speaker 1: you agree? I think the answer is yes, so simply
Speaker 1: to say, and it could be Green Township. I have
Speaker 1: friends of mine that live in Green Township and Anderson Township.
Speaker 1: Their roads have not been touched yet. Talked to a
Speaker 1: prominent attorney who lives in Green Township, who must be nameless,
Speaker 1: who said he doesn't have the capability of plowing his driveway,
Speaker 1: but he can get his driveway plowed, but his street
Speaker 1: is slightly uphill to the main drag, and he knows
Speaker 1: he can't get up that with front wheel drive. It
Speaker 1: is not going to work. And now that the snow's
Speaker 1: become solid ice, it's even more difficult. And this is
Speaker 1: true in Boone County, Tony Bender, the Great Tony Bender.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll call public officials in Boone County that the
Speaker 1: main drags are plowed most of the side streets, but
Speaker 1: when the plow comes through, they erect a four to
Speaker 1: five foot barrier in front of your driveway. So when
Speaker 1: he comes home at six or seven o'clock at night,
Speaker 1: there's a six foot wall of ice keeping him from
Speaker 1: entering his driveway. Now the roads are somewhat clear, but
Speaker 1: he cannot get into his driveway till he stops, gets out,
Speaker 1: goes and gets his shovel and get to work for
Speaker 1: about forty five minutes to get rid. And it's ice
Speaker 1: at this point. Tonight's low according to Steve Rawley's going
Speaker 1: to be three degrees. The most basic function of government
Speaker 1: is to have clear roads and highways, and there are
Speaker 1: many parts of our great country that deal with these
Speaker 1: snowstorms all the time. It would behoove the city to
Speaker 1: contact those individuals to say, we have nowhere to put it,
Speaker 1: we don't know what to do, no, ask how others
Speaker 1: are getting it done properly, and follow that lead. So
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're A council member, Seth Walsh is well intended,
Speaker 1: seems like a nice guy. He seems more confident than
Speaker 1: the other ones. But nonetheless he is demanding somehow that
Speaker 1: the city come up with a plan to clear the road.
Speaker 1: So people can leave Mount Adams or Mount Auburn. I
Speaker 1: had an appointment on Tuesday with doctor Fisher at christ
Speaker 1: that was canceled because it was the roads in and
Speaker 1: around Christ's Hospital on Monday and Tuesday were impassable. And
Speaker 1: that's like a main drag, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: So please, this is not going to change the next
Speaker 1: two weeks. In fact, there's another couple inches supposedly coming
Speaker 1: on Friday, which is like nothing. But we had winners
Speaker 1: like this. For those who can recall all the time.
Speaker 1: When I came back from University of Tillydol Law School
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy seven, the first winter here was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: May and my buddies walked down to the High River
Speaker 1: near the Serpentine the public landing and the High River
Speaker 1: was completely frozen, and people were walking on the Ohio
Speaker 1: River and others were playing hockey on the Ohio River.
Speaker 1: It was frozen solid. It was when winters set in.
Speaker 1: It meant that winter can continued from December all the
Speaker 1: way through February into March. This weather for Cincinnati is
Speaker 1: not unusual. In fact, in years past it was common.
Speaker 1: We've gone through a little bit of a stretch here
Speaker 1: with mild winters no more. When I have on Steve Gorham,
Speaker 1: some of my experts that these are more typical winners
Speaker 1: of the nineteen fifties, sixties and seventies than they've been recently.
Speaker 1: And if this is coming back, then the city's got
Speaker 1: to be prepared and simply can't say, well, we have
Speaker 1: nowhere to put the snow. I know where to terry
Speaker 1: to put the snow, but that's a different issue. There's
Speaker 1: ways of handling this properly and allowing the city roads,
Speaker 1: highways and bridges to be acceptable. Another problem for my
Speaker 1: conversation last night with Tom Weedman, president of the Township Association,
Speaker 1: he said the duty of a township is to clear
Speaker 1: its roads, but not the roads of unincorporated parts of
Speaker 1: the township, nor municipal parts of a township or municipal
Speaker 1: parts of Hamilton County. So there's various ideations. Number One,
Speaker 1: there's the Interstate Highway system who has to who has
Speaker 1: to clear the roads for that, including the on and
Speaker 1: off ramps which are not being done. Secondly, there's the
Speaker 1: county responsibility, which is similar to the state responsibility o
Speaker 1: DOT to clear certain state roads, but not unincorporated township
Speaker 1: municipal roads, so they have to they have to clear,
Speaker 1: for example, Montgomery Road until it gets to an incorporated
Speaker 1: part of the township, in which case it stops. So
Speaker 1: if you're coming up Montgomery Road, which is like twenty
Speaker 1: two and three, if you see the signs, they're a
Speaker 1: state route, so that is a state and or county
Speaker 1: responsibility to clear until that point, I think. And then
Speaker 1: once it becomes Blue Ash or Montgomery, that's when the
Speaker 1: responsibility of the township ends. Then the municipality's got to
Speaker 1: pick out up from that point. So you can have
Speaker 1: the township and unincorporated areas clearing the roads, and they
Speaker 1: stop right in the middle of Montgomery Road, for example,
Speaker 1: or Kenwood Road and Glenway Avenue and says, okay, we
Speaker 1: don't have to plow anymore past that. They stop because
Speaker 1: they have other duties to do. They gotta clear difference,
Speaker 1: and then it's up to the municipality, whether it's the
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati or the city of Montgomery, or the
Speaker 1: city of Blue Ash or the City of Harrison or
Speaker 1: the city of Deer Park, to cleare its own roads.
Speaker 1: So then they got to pick it up. And so
Speaker 1: you have the state, let's begin at the top. You
Speaker 1: have the Federal Highway System have rules. You have the
Speaker 1: state o DOT have rules. You have the county that
Speaker 1: has rules. You have municipalities that have rules, and you
Speaker 1: have townships that have rules. And there's different rules within
Speaker 1: those rules on what streets have to be cleared and
Speaker 1: when they have to be cleared because it depends on
Speaker 1: who has to maintain the property. So you have several
Speaker 1: four or five different jurisdictions on the same pavement because
Speaker 1: you go into the next jurisdiction and I'm thinking, what
Speaker 1: the hell is going on around this place, and it's
Speaker 1: not getting any better. There are large numbers, maybe a
Speaker 1: third of the workforce, and within the sound of my voice,
Speaker 1: that can't get the work. The roads are not clear.
Speaker 1: And if you have front wheel drive vehicles, and like
Speaker 1: in my driveway, the last thirty feet of my driveway
Speaker 1: or is slightly uphill, just which you don't notice until
Speaker 1: it's all ice and snow. And thank god for Jim
Speaker 1: Bailey of Evans Landscaping, Thank god for him. And I
Speaker 1: have a Blazer with a four wheel drive. I could
Speaker 1: go right up. But if you have front wheel drive
Speaker 1: and you have a little bit of an incline to
Speaker 1: get up. You're not getting up. Then you get on
Speaker 1: the road, get on. I saw it constantly the Kenwick
Speaker 1: Town Center that pickup trucks especially could not matriculate slightly
Speaker 1: uphill or even level if there's snow and ice, because
Speaker 1: front wheel drive doesn't do you any good on an
Speaker 1: icy road. Black ice has nothing. Yesterday, when I went
Speaker 1: up to Columbus for the investiture of Justice Joe Dieters,
Speaker 1: which was wonderful, Sharon Kennedy and the crew, the Fisher Thedwine,
Speaker 1: Megan Shanahan did a great job. All from Cincinnati. There
Speaker 1: was a little bit of talk. I referred to the
Speaker 1: Ohio Supreme Court as the Supreme Court of Hambleton County.
Speaker 1: We've never had four justices from Hamlin County to the
Speaker 1: High Supreme Court, and really the fifth one counts. Also
Speaker 1: Sharon Kennedy the chief, and what a fabulous chief justice
Speaker 1: she is was I went to high school here in
Speaker 1: Hamilton County at Seaton. She went to UC Law School.
Speaker 1: She lives in Butler County. She was a may I
Speaker 1: use the term low level cop in the city of Hamilton.
Speaker 1: Writing tickets twenty five years later, she's sitting on the
Speaker 1: High Supreme Court. Not bad. So this part of the
Speaker 1: state has tremendous power, including Alex Trontafilu, who's the chair
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party State of Ohio, lives in Green Township.
Speaker 1: Throw on top of that, JD. Vance, Vice President lives
Speaker 1: in High Park. At no point in our history if
Speaker 1: we had close to the political power that we have today,
Speaker 1: but none of the power comes out of the City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. That cannot clear roads because there's nowhere to
Speaker 1: put the snow. That is a stupid and that is
Speaker 1: a wrong answer for share along the city manager to
Speaker 1: make because cities constantly clear roads that are tight because
Speaker 1: they have somewhere to put the snow. That the fallback
Speaker 1: position would be the Ohio River. It is a great
Speaker 1: place to put the snow, or there's plenty of other
Speaker 1: flat areas around the Great American Ballpark. And you simply
Speaker 1: have to have the will to get it done. You
Speaker 1: have to have dump trucks that are empty, large trucks,
Speaker 1: and you pick up the snow, put it in the
Speaker 1: dump truck, travel down to the Ohio River. Start at
Speaker 1: the low part of Mount Auburn or Mount Adams and
Speaker 1: simply go to the top and it gets it done.
Speaker 1: It happens all the time here. It is Wednesday afternoon,
Speaker 1: and they have no plan to do this until the
Speaker 1: nature cooperates. And if I check my app, we got
Speaker 1: Jesse Brewers texting in from Boone County zero issues to
Speaker 1: the county or the city of Florence. That makes sense
Speaker 1: to me. But anyway, anyway, let's continue with the weather.
Speaker 1: When I look at my Steve Rawley app the temperatures
Speaker 1: a week from today, our schedule would be a one
Speaker 1: degree is a low and a high twenty six and
Speaker 1: no point in the next ten days do we get
Speaker 1: over guess what thirty two degrees. So it looks to
Speaker 1: me like when liberal Democrats are involved with doing something
Speaker 1: essential excuses are found instead of work that gets the
Speaker 1: job done. And the excuse is, wow, this is unusual,
Speaker 1: this is not unusual. They have these conditions. The city
Speaker 1: is built on seven beautiful hills. We may dispute which
Speaker 1: are the seven which make up the seven hills of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: To commemorate Rome itself, Cincinnatus Cincinnati. That's the way it works.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, we're a hilly community that has to have
Speaker 1: competency at city Hall that we currently do not have.
Speaker 1: The argument can't be well, we've never done this before,
Speaker 1: or there's too much snow, or we have nowhere to
Speaker 1: put it. Are you kidding me? I guarantee you that
Speaker 1: long term, if you had someone like Tom Weedman or
Speaker 1: the City of Madeira involved in this thing, it would
Speaker 1: be solved by now. And there's nothing to change over
Speaker 1: the next three or four or five days other than
Speaker 1: more snow and more ice coming. So get it done.
Speaker 1: And Jim moooring, you know, the banks are out of
Speaker 1: business because they have little or no snow removal and
Speaker 1: people can't move largely in the city of Cincinnati for
Speaker 1: doctor's appointments, hospital visits much less athletic activities of course,
Speaker 1: you see, and Xavier is not much worth watching anymore.
Speaker 1: I thought Wes Miller would do a much better job
Speaker 1: at you See. And I'm somewhat shocked that Sean Miller
Speaker 1: doesn't have Xavier playing better. That they lose easily to
Speaker 1: Saint John's and my good friend Rick Patino, which is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And Wes Miller, how about you see, was out rebounded
Speaker 1: forty to sixteen, and they shot thirty five percent from
Speaker 1: the field. You see Xavier against a team that should
Speaker 1: have beat. Saint John's were three of seventeen to start
Speaker 1: the game, three of seventeen out rebounded. They gave up
Speaker 1: twenty offensive rebounds. Everywhere I look, I see opportunities, I
Speaker 1: see challenges. But one thing's got to happen. The City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, the heart that beats the tri State, has
Speaker 1: got to get his competency act together and make sure
Speaker 1: that when it snows, these streets are cleared. Especially due
Speaker 1: to the hilly nature of what we have. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine what it would be like to live in Mount
Speaker 1: Adams right now, because it doesn't You can't get off,
Speaker 1: you can't get on. You have to park at the
Speaker 1: old Greyhound bus station or the casino, got to walk
Speaker 1: up the snowy hill and you're done. The city's got
Speaker 1: to have a better a plan, much less a better plan.
Speaker 1: They got to have a better plan to solve the problem.
Speaker 1: All let's continue after one o'clock today is the Tom weaedman.
Speaker 1: After our discussions of last night about why certain streets
Speaker 1: are plowed in certain streets are not plowed, he explained
Speaker 1: it to me. Now explained it in a way that
Speaker 1: I didn't fully understand or grasp, other than there's four
Speaker 1: or five different government entities, each with the responsibilbility of clearing.
Speaker 1: It's part of the roadway, and you stop at that point.
Speaker 1: In fact, there are certain parts of townships where the
Speaker 1: southern two lane highway one lane is in a township,
Speaker 1: the other lanes in the city. So the township will
Speaker 1: plow its side of the roadway but not the municipal side,
Speaker 1: and the municipal the city will plow its side but
Speaker 1: not the township side. What the hell is going on
Speaker 1: around this place. It's unbelievable. Let's continue with more plus
Speaker 1: At least we have used C and xavier to keep
Speaker 1: us occupied until Reds Baseball starts in about five weeks
Speaker 1: from now. Pitchers and catchers report about eleven weeks from
Speaker 1: now to be the Reds teeen and up. I'll give
Speaker 1: my great speech to the Holy Grail. But congratulations to
Speaker 1: Joe Dieters, who started from nowhere and now sits on
Speaker 1: the state's highest bench, and all the Cincinnatians that are
Speaker 1: dominating politics in the state but also nationally with JD
Speaker 1: and so so much more. But City Cincinnati. Please get
Speaker 1: your act together. Don't be a clown. Let's continue twelve
Speaker 1: to fifty five. Home of your Bengals. You see Xavier
Speaker 1: and the Reds News Radio seven hundred ww Dolly Cunningham,
Speaker 1: Let's continue now. Going up to Columbus yesterday for the
Speaker 1: sacred investiture of Joe Eaters was an easy event. I
Speaker 1: left Keller Road, it was clear. Gone on Montgomery Road,
Speaker 1: it was clear. Gone on I seventy one entry ramps,
Speaker 1: it was clear. Seventy one up to Columbus was you
Speaker 1: could have eaten off the roadway. It was clear getting
Speaker 1: off the roadway, and Columbus Mike Dwine made sure everything
Speaker 1: around the Supreme Court was clear. It was all clear.
Speaker 1: I get there, I come back. But now I find
Speaker 1: out from Tony Bender, from a good friend of mine
Speaker 1: who lives in Mount Adams, and from those who are
Speaker 1: in Fort Washington the way things are complete turmoil. Try
Speaker 1: to get down to Clifton, into the city of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: for an appointment to see a doctor about your gallbladder.
Speaker 1: That'll never happen. But until then, Tom Weedman, you're the
Speaker 1: Sycamore Township Trustee without equal. And also Tom Weedman, you're
Speaker 1: the president, chairman of the board and chief bottle washer
Speaker 1: of the township associations in Hamleton County. So we had
Speaker 1: a discussion last night off the air about what's happening
Speaker 1: between the townships, which are like the cities and municipalities
Speaker 1: clearing up the roads. And then you have the county,
Speaker 1: which Beck I think does a pretty good job in general.
Speaker 1: He has certain responsibilities. Then you have the state of
Speaker 1: o Dot having certain responsibilities for certain streets. Then you
Speaker 1: got the Interstate Highway, which is completely different than all
Speaker 1: the rest. Tony Bender complains constantly when you go north
Speaker 1: and I seventy one to get off of Kenrad Road exit,
Speaker 1: it's never plowed. But Montgimmery Road tends to be plowed,
Speaker 1: Keller tends to be plowed, Fox Cub tends not to
Speaker 1: be plowed. Mount Adams is never plowed. Clipton's in big trouble.
Speaker 1: Try to get to the hospitals. You can't get there.
Speaker 1: So can you tell the American people, as an eminent
Speaker 1: elected official, what in the hell's going on around this place? Municipal, township, state, county,
Speaker 1: feds explain it all. Why your road hasn't cleared? Your street?
Speaker 1: Give me a full report. There's a question in there somewhere.
Speaker 1: Answer it, well, Bill, it's always good to be with you.
Speaker 1: I bet so. The state roads that.
Speaker 3: You mentioned are all plowed by the state OHD on
Speaker 3: including I seventy five OH dot correct. Montgomery Road is
Speaker 3: Montgomery Road is a state road, so they handle that
Speaker 3: in unincorporated areas like Sycamore Township. As you know, we
Speaker 3: have fifty one linear miles a road in Sycamore Township. Okay, and.
Speaker 1: We handle our own roads.
Speaker 3: We plow our own roads. We do not have the
Speaker 3: obligation in the unincorporated area of Sycamore Township to plow
Speaker 3: the county or state roads. They do that on their own. However,
Speaker 3: let's use Let's use Montgomery as an example, or Kenwood
Speaker 3: as an example. Montgomery Road is a state road in
Speaker 3: the city of Montgomery. As Montgomery Road goes through the
Speaker 3: city of Montgomery starting at Kennedy Lane, they have an
Speaker 3: obligation to clear the state road as a city. Why
Speaker 3: because they are incorporated. They're an incorporated city, a municipality,
Speaker 3: and we are not.
Speaker 1: So you could be a state road if it's incorporate,
Speaker 1: which means you're a municipality. That is your beauty. But
Speaker 1: if it's unincorporated and then it's not, that's correct.
Speaker 2: That's correct.
Speaker 3: So if you take Kenwood Road, as you know, Kenwood
Speaker 3: Road goes right through our business district. The county plows
Speaker 3: Kenwood Road all the way until just past the McEwan
Speaker 3: store or landscape where it becomes Blue Ash Blue and
Speaker 3: that's when Blue Ash takes over and takes care of
Speaker 3: that road.
Speaker 1: So the unincorporated, which is you're unincorporated, you'll go up
Speaker 1: to the Blue Ash line the Montgomery line, then you stop.
Speaker 1: Then it's up to the city that's incorporated to plow
Speaker 1: its roads, even though it's a state road, which is
Speaker 1: twenty two and three is the numbers i'd sign. The
Speaker 1: township does the part that is unincorporated, and then incorporated,
Speaker 1: incorporated does the parts of the township road that's incorporated,
Speaker 1: and the unincorporated doesn't do the incorporated. Is that correct?
Speaker 1: You're in total state of confusion.
Speaker 3: I think the township does not do the unincorporated portion
Speaker 3: of the state road. The state does that. The county
Speaker 3: does the portion of the road within the township. So
Speaker 3: the township is basically so the township is basically doing
Speaker 3: their fifty one linear miles the road, which is all
Speaker 3: of the residential communities. But we are not doing the
Speaker 3: main arteries. That's done by the county and or the state.
Speaker 1: And so if you're in Montgomery Road, it's twelve inches
Speaker 1: of snow and ice. You could be doing like Kenwood
Speaker 1: of Montgomery Road up to an incorporated area and you
Speaker 1: stop right there.
Speaker 3: Correct, Yeah, it can happen. I mean, And then we've
Speaker 3: actually if you look at Kennedy Lane, half of it
Speaker 3: is Montgomery and half of his Sycamore. We've seen times
Speaker 3: where Sycamore has cleaned off the south side of Kennedy
Speaker 3: and Montgomery hasn't touched the north side.
Speaker 1: Of No, so what about this isn't your Bailey Wick
Speaker 1: but Mount Adams. I have a friend of mine who
Speaker 1: lives in Mount Adams not been outsince Sunday. In fact,
Speaker 1: you can't get out of Mount Adams. You can't leave
Speaker 1: Mount Adams, you can't go into Mountain or inner.
Speaker 3: City of Cincinnati is horrible at moving snow. They do
Speaker 3: a terrible job. They've notoriously been terrible at it. And
Speaker 3: it doesn't surprise me. You can't get the cliff and
Speaker 3: probably you can't get the money Adams, you probably can't
Speaker 3: get anywhere in the city because they're horrible at moving snow.
Speaker 1: And right now it's frozen solid, correct, right now? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: And so now what do you do for the next
Speaker 1: ten days? If you live in Mount Adams or parts
Speaker 1: of Boone County, another thing has tony tony bender all
Speaker 1: fired up. They'll shovel of the trucks will come out
Speaker 1: and then build out like a four to five foot
Speaker 1: barrier on your driveway. And so he comes home at
Speaker 1: six o'clock at night and the road is clear right
Speaker 1: to his house, but he's got a four foot barrier
Speaker 1: that is get out of his car and shovel the
Speaker 1: ice and snow to get in his driveway. Don't you
Speaker 1: guys understand that's a problem.
Speaker 3: Well, look Bill, Yeah, when you have that kind of
Speaker 3: snow and they're plowing, their goal is to plow the streets.
Speaker 3: They can't ply your driveway as well. Unfortunately, there's gonna
Speaker 3: be a wall there and you have to figure out
Speaker 3: how to clean it up yourself. And we get complaints
Speaker 3: from time to time about that, and there's nothing you
Speaker 3: can do about it.
Speaker 2: We're running.
Speaker 3: We're running these guys twelve hour shifts in the snow
Speaker 3: that you can barely see through. And because it's coming
Speaker 3: down so hard and they can't they can't stop at
Speaker 3: each drive.
Speaker 1: Out and say, you know what, can't they take the
Speaker 1: the attachment on the front. Can't they move that just
Speaker 1: at an angle to make sure when they get to
Speaker 1: a house that they don't erect a four to five
Speaker 1: foot concrete barrier?
Speaker 2: Am?
Speaker 1: I am? I missing something here?
Speaker 3: You are missing something. They're moving way too fast for.
Speaker 5: That they got in order.
Speaker 3: I remember riding on the one of the trucks with
Speaker 3: Tracy Kellums one night and it was coming down so hard.
Speaker 3: We're in Miami, Miami Hills and uh uh, I said, Tracy,
Speaker 3: we got to go back and do that road. He said,
Speaker 3: we just did that road. That's how heard it us
Speaker 3: coming down. You got no time to be moving the
Speaker 3: plow a little bit so that the it doesn't get
Speaker 3: in front of the driveway.
Speaker 1: Damn, damn. So you're telling them, you're telling me, Tom,
Speaker 1: we were like a rocket. You're the head, aren't you?
Speaker 1: The president of the Township Association in Hamilton County?
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 1: There's people in Green Township and Dent. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite parts of the world is dent and their driveway
Speaker 1: goes up a little bit of an angle to get
Speaker 1: to the street, and so they can't get out of
Speaker 1: their driveway to get to the street. And if they
Speaker 1: get to the street, it's not plowed anyway. And so
Speaker 1: if I give you some addresses in Green Township, can
Speaker 1: you get it done? Or in Mount Adams, or how
Speaker 1: about interest you won't do it that negative.
Speaker 3: We've got our hands full and Sycamore, we're good.
Speaker 1: Well, you're the president of the whole association. Why don't
Speaker 1: you take some responsibility.
Speaker 3: You need to call Tony Tony.
Speaker 1: So you're saying for those in the city or any
Speaker 1: municipality at this point that's locked in and you can't
Speaker 1: shovel this crap, which is like the consistency of home
Speaker 1: city ice. You can't get through it. So you're screwed
Speaker 1: in for another week. It's going to be colder next
Speaker 1: week than it is now and it's frozen solid and
Speaker 1: you can't get out. I bet your streets cleared every day.
Speaker 1: I bet your driveway doesn't have any barriers to get in.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Tom weedman?
Speaker 3: You know what, My driveway doesn't have any because I
Speaker 3: got out there and shoveled it all out myself.
Speaker 1: Well, what about the barrier in the front when that
Speaker 1: when the shovel or when the truck comes by, what about.
Speaker 5: That I got?
Speaker 3: I shoveled it all out and threw it to the side.
Speaker 1: All right. So you're saying you got the municipality and
Speaker 1: Sycamore Township, but will like plow one side of the road,
Speaker 1: but the other side's unplowed because it's a municipality right.
Speaker 3: Well, And and like on Kennedy Lane for example, technically
Speaker 3: I know, I know, we've sometimes Montgomery if they're running
Speaker 3: down the one way and they come back the other way,
Speaker 3: they might hit it if we haven't hit it yet,
Speaker 3: And we'll probably do the same for them because we
Speaker 3: have a good working relationship for them. I'm just using
Speaker 3: that as an example that half the street is one
Speaker 3: is a musicpality, half of it is a township, and
Speaker 3: those kind of things. The responsibilities are split way between
Speaker 3: that road, all right.
Speaker 1: So you're saying, there's a chance you can plow up
Speaker 1: to the municipal line, then you stop, and then Miss
Speaker 1: Valley got to pick up. And of course they don't
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 3: And like I said, you know, we we've done Kenwood Road.
Speaker 3: When if if the county is behind and we've got
Speaker 3: a truck that we can run on Kenwood Road, which
Speaker 3: is a county road, we've done it, uh and they've
Speaker 3: helped us in some times as well. We have a
Speaker 3: good working relationship with the cities around us as well
Speaker 3: as the U as well as the county. But the
Speaker 3: if you're talking about a responsibility and who is the
Speaker 3: responsibility to remove, to move that move that snow, it
Speaker 3: falls on the county, in townships, on county roads. It
Speaker 3: falls on the state in townships on state roads, and
Speaker 3: unlike municipalities where they they handle their snow removal on
Speaker 3: those on those streets.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what you just said. But I
Speaker 1: have no idea.
Speaker 3: You're in a state of confusion.
Speaker 1: I live in a state of confusion and chaos. I
Speaker 1: see chaos everywhere and it's not getting any better. But
Speaker 1: would you plow a city of Cincinnati? What if the
Speaker 1: mayor called? You have to have pure of all calls
Speaker 1: Tom william and say hey Tom, you're the weed man.
Speaker 1: How about getting we're overwhelmed? Can you plow some City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati streets? What would you do?
Speaker 2: That would be a negative. Why are we going to
Speaker 2: go down to Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Well, because people live there, people work there, I mean.
Speaker 2: But they don't pay. But they puts in that ship.
Speaker 3: Our township residents pay Texas in this in the township.
Speaker 1: We got to take care. Well, Tony Benner tells me
Speaker 1: he'll get behind the wheel and he'll do it. In fact,
Speaker 1: I would think as a man, I would love to
Speaker 1: be behind a plow. I like to do a shift.
Speaker 1: I bet that's a to me. That looks like a
Speaker 1: lot of fun with those with those greens.
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, it's it's pretty interesting. When I
Speaker 3: rode with Kellums, it was pretty interesting that we're hauling
Speaker 3: through these through these down these streets, blowing blowing everywhere,
Speaker 3: two feet of snow all over the it's it's going
Speaker 3: up on mailbox. I bet there's nothing you can.
Speaker 5: Do about it.
Speaker 1: And what do you do about cars that are like
Speaker 1: blocked in because the plow comes through and the cars
Speaker 1: under like six feet of ice and snow? What about that?
Speaker 1: Tom weedman? What do you do about that?
Speaker 3: You know, what if if if it's snowing hard and
Speaker 3: you park your car on the street, you're gonna have
Speaker 3: a serious digging problem because we're going right around it,
Speaker 3: and it's gonna and we're gonna plow snow right against
Speaker 3: that car. And if you go into Hypemeyer, there's a
Speaker 3: house that had three cars on the on the.
Speaker 2: Street in hype Meyer.
Speaker 3: I don't know when that guy's going to get to
Speaker 3: his cars.
Speaker 1: Sounds like we can do about it. I bet a
Speaker 1: Democrat lives there. What do you think?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: No comment? All right, Tom Weedman, you're the weed Man.
Speaker 1: You're getting it done. But we got the city, he
Speaker 1: got the count I got the township. You got half
Speaker 1: of this, half of that got the state, got the FEDS,
Speaker 1: got the U. N is involved. Oh DoD back everybody,
Speaker 1: and it's a consequence. Nobody moves anywhere. But to Tom Weiedman,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. You have
Speaker 1: filled the air with a bunch of nonsense, and we
Speaker 1: hope the American people understand what you just said. Okay, specialty,
Speaker 1: thank you, nonsense, thank you. Let's continue with more Bill Cunningham,
Speaker 1: your comments next on the news radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: All right, now we're going to hear from some local
Speaker 1: leaders like Jesse Brewer and Boone County and also the
Speaker 1: great Tony Rosiello with my friends in Green Township, Tony Rosiello,
Speaker 1: did you hear what Tom Weedman said about responsibilities of townships, unincorporated,
Speaker 1: incorporated municipality, state and fed your comments of any.
Speaker 6: Well, good afternoon, mister Cunningham. Yes, my dear friend, that's
Speaker 6: Tom Weedman is absolutely correct by state statue to maintain
Speaker 6: our roads in Green Township. We have five hundred and
Speaker 6: twenty roads that we maintain, including snow removal. We also
Speaker 6: have sixty roads that are maintained by Hamilton County. We're
Speaker 6: twenty eight square miles. So if there's a double yellow
Speaker 6: line on a road, answers are good that Hamilton County
Speaker 6: is taking care.
Speaker 2: Of that road.
Speaker 6: But the two state roads, Glenway Avenue and Bridgetown Road
Speaker 6: were also maintained by Hamilton County because.
Speaker 5: It's in the Jura.
Speaker 6: Now my question is is why did this prominent attorney
Speaker 6: not call the township and give us an opportunity to
Speaker 6: circle back and take care of the problem.
Speaker 1: What's your number? I'm gonna have him do that because
Speaker 1: I I think we I'll tell you it is off
Speaker 1: the air. But what is the phone number he should call.
Speaker 6: And and my my administrator will be waiting for his call.
Speaker 6: Frank Berkenhauer, it's five to one three five seven, four
Speaker 6: eight four eight.
Speaker 1: Because he wanted to come to he wanted to come
Speaker 1: to these invested journey couldn't get there because the street
Speaker 1: wasn't done and it was a foot of ice and
Speaker 1: snow and he couldn't get onto it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, you know when the day of the snow events,
Speaker 6: our team was at at four pm till midnight. We
Speaker 6: pulled them off the road for four hours. They came
Speaker 6: back on at four am through late last night.
Speaker 5: So we didn't have.
Speaker 6: Any complaint calls. We hit a lot of out of
Speaker 6: boys and a nice nice comments, but we're not opposed
Speaker 6: to having a problem.
Speaker 5: Caull can take care of.
Speaker 6: So I'm kind of wondering if this road is maybe
Speaker 6: maintained by the county and not us. I don't know
Speaker 6: where that road.
Speaker 1: Is, Okay, if you're in Green Township, some roads are
Speaker 1: maintained by the township, some by the county, and some
Speaker 1: by the some by the state. Is that correct? That's correct.
Speaker 6: The two state routes are actually maintained by him with
Speaker 6: the County Engineer's Office, and I must tell you they
Speaker 6: do a very job. Also in Green Township, Eric Beck
Speaker 6: and his team works very well with Joe Landing, our
Speaker 6: public services director, and our guys that take care of
Speaker 6: I said it before, five hundred and twenty two roads.
Speaker 6: That's a lot of roads in a township, or the
Speaker 6: second largest township in the state of Ohio. It's kind
Speaker 6: of like a city, but it's not. And I'm here
Speaker 6: to defend them, but I'm also here to make sure
Speaker 6: that everybody's taken care of.
Speaker 1: So if you live in Green Township, you could be
Speaker 1: an unincorporated or incorporated part of Green Township, or you
Speaker 1: could be well is that true?
Speaker 6: Well, No, Glenway Avenue and a Bridgetown.
Speaker 5: They are incorporated in our in our boundaries.
Speaker 6: Let's they get out of our boundaries and maybe go
Speaker 6: into Miami Township or on Glenway where they go into
Speaker 6: the city of Cincinnati. That's a different animal. So the
Speaker 6: County Engineer's Office takes care of those two roads in
Speaker 6: the Green Township line.
Speaker 1: Do you know why the city of Cincinnati is so
Speaker 1: screwed up? Because Mount Adams is you can't get on,
Speaker 1: can't get off and other like Mount Alburn is almost
Speaker 1: impossible around the around the hospitals, any any hell, but
Speaker 1: you could give City of Cincinnati. Tom Weedman said, no, Billy, Billy,
Speaker 1: those are.
Speaker 5: The complaint cult we get.
Speaker 6: We shared ten miles of border with the City of Cincinnati,
Speaker 6: and it's like night and day when you leave green
Speaker 6: Township and go into the city and you take your
Speaker 6: life in your own hands. I'm not saying that the
Speaker 6: drivers that they have aren't good drivers. I just don't
Speaker 6: think they have enough of them. When you talk about
Speaker 6: the population size and the amount of roads that they
Speaker 6: have to maintain, I don't know why they can't do
Speaker 6: it or they won't do it, and where they're spending
Speaker 6: their money. I work in the City of Cincinnati during
Speaker 6: the day, so I pay city taxes too, and I
Speaker 6: think people have a legitimate complaint.
Speaker 1: All right, we got to run up against the clock.
Speaker 1: Tony Rosiello, you're a great American. I'll buy you a
Speaker 1: chicken wing soon at Ron's Roost.
Speaker 6: That sounds good, Billy, take care.
Speaker 1: God bless Tony Rosiello. One of the great public servants
Speaker 1: in the Tri State. But he brings up a great point.
Speaker 1: He would not want to drive into the city of
Speaker 1: Cincinnati in a snow emergency because it's not good one
Speaker 1: thirty Home Bengals News Radio, seven hundred WULW.
Speaker 7: But we don't play we're soft, you know, we're too
Speaker 7: soft to play hard enough. T you know, even in
Speaker 7: the crucials, he can't get an offensive rebound. You know,
Speaker 7: it's like a five point game, and Kobe Johnson just
Speaker 7: has a guy.
Speaker 1: To take the ball from him.
Speaker 7: Same thing with Sebastian mac Okay, we finally do get
Speaker 7: a stole, can't get a defensive rebound. They didn't have
Speaker 7: a million of them because they didn't miss that many shots,
Speaker 7: but there was a few in particular Kobe Sebastian huge
Speaker 7: backbreaking and you got inside position, you get inside position.
Speaker 7: So don't tell me you want to win. Like, just
Speaker 7: don't tell me you want to win. You won't start
Speaker 7: the game. Tyler Bilodeough gave up twelve points, two screens,
Speaker 7: he didn't say a word, threes and then he got scored.
Speaker 7: He got dunked on three times. So don't just don't
Speaker 7: tell me you want to win. We're I mean, we're soft.
Speaker 7: Aside from to be fair to you, obviously they have
Speaker 7: a unique skill set the way they shoot the ball.
Speaker 2: But we're soft.
Speaker 1: You obviously came back and took the lead. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like ran out of I have.
Speaker 7: To run on the court to get guys to play hard.
Speaker 7: It's crazy, you know, and it's every day. I'm tired
Speaker 7: of it.
Speaker 4: Oh, hello, bye, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: That's mc cronin talking about his efforts against Michigan. Not good. No,
Speaker 1: And also we have Sean Miller and West Miller. It's
Speaker 1: Miller times. I don't know which programs. Yeah, they better
Speaker 1: have a couple of Miller lights on them. Better got
Speaker 1: a cloppered by what the sixty eight forty eight last night?
Speaker 1: And then Xavier lost by ten. But it wasn't that
Speaker 1: was a ten thousand point lost because Xavior out route
Speaker 1: rebound at fifty to thirty impossible. Have about this one
Speaker 1: peo walking out them. You see, was out rebounded forty
Speaker 1: to sixteen at Baylor and both I thought Sean Miller
Speaker 1: would real awaken the the echoes of Xavier basketball. Instead,
Speaker 1: what's programs in worse shape? Sean Miller or Wes Miller
Speaker 1: or right now both Mitt Cronin and you know who's
Speaker 1: living living large? Tom Weedman, No, right up route the
Speaker 1: miam Us twenty seven Steele, Yes, Blett Hall should be
Speaker 1: Ryle Steele. He's ten and four and two and zero
Speaker 1: in the MAC. Is this a trend or is anyone
Speaker 1: on that? Add the UC and Xavier not good? What
Speaker 1: about the dogs whipping up on the Cats last night?
Speaker 1: Kentucky goes, Georgia dumps Kentucky and all goes, and of
Speaker 1: course the Bengals. We have the comments that Kansas City
Speaker 1: players saying they did not tank at Denver. Of course
Speaker 1: they tanked. They don't want they want no piece of
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. No, I don't think anybody wanted them. They said, no,
Speaker 1: we're going to lose to Denver. I guarantee you they
Speaker 1: had like five first downs and what they lose thirty
Speaker 1: eight to zip got never got close. And so but
Speaker 1: you have players saying, well, you know, we we did
Speaker 1: our best, We did our best. Did they do their
Speaker 1: best segment at Denver? Did Kansas City do their best?
Speaker 1: I think there should be an NFL investigation in that move.
Speaker 1: What's programs in more trouble? Sean Millers or West Miller's
Speaker 1: It's Miller right now, all of them, both of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he goes Rick Patino, my buddy Saint John. Not that
Speaker 1: good they were? They were last night, very good. I
Speaker 1: think Xavier was three of sixteen the first nineteen shots.
Speaker 1: They shot fifteen percent. Where's Brad Redford when you need them?
Speaker 1: Get him in there, David West, I think, or the
Speaker 1: great Byron Larkin number twenty three, and get him on
Speaker 1: the court, Get get Joe and Byron on the do something.
Speaker 1: And how about to save your faithful? Leaving with about
Speaker 1: ten minutes to go booing to save your faithful at
Speaker 1: Sentas Center. What does Bob co Op say about that?
Speaker 1: Probably not happy? Where's your Bob co Op? Now? Will he?
Speaker 1: The Stoot Reporters aproud service of your local temp Star

Speaker 1: in the Pittsburgh win. What about the player of the year,
Speaker 1: though it should be Hendrickson total of five tackles, including
Speaker 1: three and a half sacks, giving him a league leading
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half on the year as a Bengal
Speaker 1: defensive player ever led the league in sacks. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: somebody did, but it has to be years ago. College

Speaker 1: Day and that's it. That's it, seg. How's your straight?
Speaker 1: Does it have snow removed? Yes? Are the Middletown did
Speaker 1: a great job, so did O Dot and Matt Brooding.
Speaker 1: Can you tell me why the city of Cincinnati cannot
Speaker 1: perform like other counties, cities and states. Can you tell
Speaker 1: me why? I don't know. I don't know, Willie. But
Speaker 1: Mount auburns and men Mount Adams a mess. Well, imagine
Speaker 1: if we were in Mount Adams. Can't get there right,
Speaker 1: you have to park ski and would you walk a
Speaker 1: mile up hill and the foot of snowing out? I'd
Speaker 1: be at christ Hospital getting a cardiacric room, M room,
Speaker 1: M But segment, there's one area and the tries stay
Speaker 1: completely dysfunctional. And it's the city of Cincinnati, you know.
Speaker 1: And no, what did I see the other day? The
Speaker 1: bear's got a mustache? You know, it looks like it
Speaker 1: I saw the other day on TV. I'm going, what
Speaker 1: the you gotta get out? And you know, I'd like
Speaker 1: to operate a plow. Would you like to operate one
Speaker 1: of those trucks? I'd like to ride. I'd like to
Speaker 1: ride with them, and like on the Interstate Highway. I think,
Speaker 1: I mean, just to see how they do. But make
Speaker 1: me feel like I must be There's people what Monday
Speaker 1: nights at seven hours at the light Ole Tunnel. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's crazy to be out, but the truck's got to
Speaker 1: be rolling, Willie. Those are America's heroes, the men and
Speaker 1: women behind the wheel. I like to be one of them,
Speaker 1: just once. I like to feel like a man. There's
Speaker 1: like the truck and Bozo this once. I like to
Speaker 1: do it. That's right. So your mental town Butler good shape,
Speaker 1: Richard K. Jones and the Dot in Middletown, in Monroe,
Speaker 1: Trenton and others all cleaned off, baby, No, I had
Speaker 1: Franklin all clean the weed man on in the townships,
Speaker 1: there's incorporated and unincorporated. The municipalities some are part of
Speaker 1: the township, some or not. Then you got the county roads.
Speaker 1: Some have other responsibilities, some do not. Then you got
Speaker 1: the state roads O DOT. Then you got the Feds.
Speaker 1: So between the Feds and O DOT, municipalities, townships, incorporated
Speaker 1: and unincorporated, you're gonna have a circumstance where the Sycamore
Speaker 1: Township crew does not want to go to the City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati and plow because they have liability issues. So
Speaker 1: if they would hit somebody or a car, whatever, then
Speaker 1: the township would be sued. So the township residents don't
Speaker 1: want to clean off the roads of a municipality, get
Speaker 1: to the border, and then turn around around go the
Speaker 1: other direction. Think about that one for a while. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I got some place clean them off and
Speaker 1: seg I was in New York City for a long time. Yes,
Speaker 1: I had a hotel, the event Hee on Sixth Avenue.
Speaker 1: It's snow to New York City, shall we say all
Speaker 1: the time. What they did was have a truck with
Speaker 1: a front end loader and there'll be a dump truck
Speaker 1: behind them. They'd go pick up all the snow over
Speaker 1: the top of the cab into the dump truck behind.
Speaker 1: Fill it up. Another truck, dump truck comes up. You know,
Speaker 1: they put all the snow in the East River. Simply
Speaker 1: took the snow and took it. And they had a
Speaker 1: line of trucks going back and forth until sixth Avenue
Speaker 1: was clear and the city of Cincinnati started at the
Speaker 1: bottom of Mount Adams. And they have a front end loader,
Speaker 1: pick up the snow over the top of the cab,
Speaker 1: dump it in the dump truck. It hauls out. Here
Speaker 1: comes another dump truck, go another twenty thirty feet, pick
Speaker 1: up the snow, put it in the dump truck, go
Speaker 1: down the river dump it. Then have another dump truck
Speaker 1: pick up the snow over the top of the cab,
Speaker 1: put it in the dump truck, and down to the river.
Speaker 1: Move another thirty feet. Have the dump truck ready to go,
Speaker 1: front end loader, pick up the snow over the cab,
Speaker 1: dump it war segment into the river. No the dump truck. Oh,
Speaker 1: then you drive to the river. You get like seven
Speaker 1: or eight of these dump trunks going back and forth. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, you know as well as I down well,
Speaker 1: you know, well as I do those streets up there,
Speaker 1: you got cars parked and everything else. You'd be wrecking
Speaker 1: cars like they're going out in California with a fire. Well,
Speaker 1: you have to at least provide some relief to the
Speaker 1: main drags in Mount Adams, which we've been there for
Speaker 1: many years, Saint Gregory Street. That's what you got to do, right,
Speaker 1: Why don't they do it? Share along? The city manager says,
Speaker 1: we have nowhere to put the snow. I can tell
Speaker 1: her where to put the snow. But nonetheless, we got
Speaker 1: the freakin Ohio river right there. They can put it
Speaker 1: in the river. Correct, can't get to the river. Put
Speaker 1: it sow your point. Put it a serpentine wall, put
Speaker 1: it underneath the bridge, right American, Well it doesn't catch fire.
Speaker 1: Parking everywhere? And right now the business imagine being a
Speaker 1: business owner or a resident of Mount Adams right now, Oh,
Speaker 1: here's one. There's no pharmacy, there's no groceries. No, you
Speaker 1: can't leave it. You want to walk up and Downhill Street,
Speaker 1: you can't. If you go down that street, you catapult
Speaker 1: yourself into a ski jump right in the end of
Speaker 1: the And can you imagine being in a car going
Speaker 1: Downhill Street? I did that before. Oh, is it not
Speaker 1: good segment. We have a crisis everywhere. I don't know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And like Tony Rosiella said, a green township,
Speaker 1: when you cross over from Green Township to the city, right,
Speaker 1: everything changes. I know. That's the truth. Completely different, especially
Speaker 1: in townships too. It's the same thing. They go to
Speaker 1: a point and that's turn around. Stop right. So you
Speaker 1: go to Montgomery Road, Sycamore Township. Right, they get to
Speaker 1: the boundary line of the city of Blue Ash, they stop,
Speaker 1: go the other way right, because they're not going to
Speaker 1: have liability clearing the roads of a municipality when they're
Speaker 1: not supposed to do it. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know what to tell you. You know, we have social compacts
Speaker 1: between fire departments back and forth, where city pulling, you know,
Speaker 1: the city police, township, county. Why not do that with
Speaker 1: snow eva picking up the snow and dumping it play
Speaker 1: there's lots of place with dump the snow. I agree
Speaker 1: with it. It's happening all the time all over the country.
Speaker 1: But we can't figure it out, Cheryl Long says the
Speaker 1: city manager. We have nowhere to put it, Like tell
Speaker 1: her where to put it. That's a different issue. I'm saying, now,
Speaker 1: put it in the Ohio River. I can tell her
Speaker 1: the obbligation. Then they think, well, there's going to be
Speaker 1: a flood, flood, blood flood gonna melt. We got dams,
Speaker 1: We got dams, gonna have a flood, right, all right,
Speaker 1: Put it on the river bank somewhere. We got plenty
Speaker 1: of room. Right, not much going on, but he parking
Speaker 1: down there. The bank's businesses are all closed. Mount Adams.
Speaker 1: Try to get to Mount Auburn, Try to go to
Speaker 1: pill Hill, try that. No way, one way, the second man,
Speaker 1: Those are the issues. I'm gonna put a call in
Speaker 1: a chest where Channel twelve and Channel five are well
Speaker 1: up in that area. Good luck. I don't know how
Speaker 1: Shari Poelo got to work at least time you're a rock.
Speaker 1: Channel nine is right there, right there at the bottom
Speaker 1: of Channel five Mount Auburn. How does Mike Dartist get
Speaker 1: up there and k rob and kicking it with Ken.
Speaker 1: I'm watching him this morning. I know I saw him
Speaker 1: this morning. He's flying golfing and golfing or something, kicking
Speaker 1: it with Ken. That guy's hilarious. I want to have
Speaker 1: him out at the at the Friendly Confines to get
Speaker 1: him out there. See if he can play golf for real,
Speaker 1: take some money from him. But Segment, the answer has
Speaker 1: got to be government's got to solve this problem. Is
Speaker 1: going to be cold, at least for the next two weeks. Correct.
Speaker 1: Mount Adams is out of business. There's like a cold
Speaker 1: advisory out or cold weather advisory out two degrees and
Speaker 1: that snow is now solid ice not going anywhere. And
Speaker 1: you hit that, you're it's like hitting the wall of Daytona.
Speaker 1: We have nowhere to go. I'm sorry, we have nowhere
Speaker 1: to put don't either, I know where to put it.
Speaker 1: I've watched it being put right. I don't know what
Speaker 1: tell you. But between you see and Xavier and the Bengals,
Speaker 1: how we look not good? Not good? Ana Umo's gone, yep,
Speaker 1: just like Pollock's gone. I don't know. We'll see what happens. Sega.
Speaker 1: Want to hear from the American people with your permission,
Speaker 1: because if you give me your address in your street,
Speaker 1: Tony Rosiella wants to know where that is and guess
Speaker 1: what he may come and do it himself. If it's
Speaker 1: in Green Township, Attney, tell me you couldn't get out
Speaker 1: of his street in Green Township Tony Rosiello, not him,
Speaker 1: Oh someone else who must go nameless? Oh okay, so
Speaker 1: let's continue segment give me out of the suit's report.
Speaker 1: But we have serious issues, confusion and chaos. Brain supreme
Speaker 1: will he under said? January the eighth, and the year
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty five, nineteen thirty four, And on this day,
Speaker 1: Jim Scott, the King about Dusty Rhodes, the big e
Speaker 1: Elvis Presley, the big happy heavenly birthday today to the
Speaker 1: King born on January eighth, nineteen thirty five. He lives
Speaker 1: now only in our memories and what memories they were?
Speaker 1: Correct Segment I have two lines in labs That concert
Speaker 1: was at Indianapolis. Yes, did you attend No? Seven four nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand or pounds seven hundred? What needs or once
Speaker 1: do you have? And Dave Keaton, my producer himself, me
Speaker 1: or seg may come to your place and dig you out.
Speaker 1: Now wouldn't that be something? Speak for yourself. Shovels Keith,
Speaker 1: you can shovel it with the best, say I do.
Speaker 1: Shovel it pretty good, shovel it pretty good. My producer
Speaker 1: Dave Keaton says he will be there to shovel the
Speaker 1: snow sheriff, and I will will supervise. We'll supervise like
Speaker 1: everything else. You know, dude, it's only for ten bucks
Speaker 1: an hour cash now a thousand dollars an hour to
Speaker 1: shovel some snow. This is your central What problems are
Speaker 1: you having? The power brokers are listening now. What can
Speaker 1: they do to help? Segment? Maybe Justice Joe could help
Speaker 1: now he's back on the job. He was on the
Speaker 1: bench there yesterday. I was there. I felt good about
Speaker 1: the investiture, and I turned around and said, I can't
Speaker 1: believe you're on the High Supreme Court. Looking at Joe.
Speaker 1: Did you start laughing?
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 1: Okay, we played bad to the bone once or twice too.
Speaker 1: Governor was there, Mike Dwine and Amy Act that's running
Speaker 1: for governor? How about that? Your your girl? If that's
Speaker 1: the case, the Republicans will help her get on the ballot.
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundreds WW try bully cunning. I'm the
Speaker 1: great American. Continue with a snow. A terrible situation with
Speaker 1: snow here there and everywhere, and seemingly some municipalities perform well,
Speaker 1: some do not. If you'll call it now seven four nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand, We're going to put a call in a
Speaker 1: Jesse Brewer to see about Boone County. You've heard from
Speaker 1: Green Township and more. There ought to be more coordination
Speaker 1: between the cities and the counties and the states and
Speaker 1: the Feds as far as when they plow and when
Speaker 1: they don't plow, when you get it done, when not
Speaker 1: to get it done, and as a consequence, things would
Speaker 1: be a little more smooth. Parts of the City of
Speaker 1: Cincinnati are inoperable and dysfunctional because you can't get the
Speaker 1: trucks up, but you can do it with the right planning.
Speaker 1: And then also you have Boot County, which is quite
Speaker 1: hilly in Kenton County much less Claremont County, Adams County,
Speaker 1: and Highlands County in Green County. And I don't know
Speaker 1: what job would you give if you live in the
Speaker 1: hinterlands houses snow removal in your area five win three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand or pounds seven hundred and we'll get the
Speaker 1: call on I know where I am. And Kenwood things
Speaker 1: are completely functional, and according to Tony Rosiella, things aren't
Speaker 1: too bad either in Green Township, although a good friend
Speaker 1: lawyer friend of mine in trouble getting out. But I
Speaker 1: think that's going to be solved. So and I know
Speaker 1: the power brokers listen. So if you live in a
Speaker 1: low cow that needs assistance, now, maybe if you live
Speaker 1: in Mount Adams, I like to hear from you. Seven
Speaker 1: four nine seven thousand. There's about eight thousand people that
Speaker 1: live in and are in Mount Adams, which is rarely
Speaker 1: cut off from the civilized world. You can't get up,
Speaker 1: can't get in, and by the way, the walk in
Speaker 1: is not an easy thing. You got to maybe park
Speaker 1: at the casino and walk up, walk up, walk up
Speaker 1: the hill to get to the middle of Mount Adams,
Speaker 1: which is completely dysfunctional. Seven four nine seven thousand. Let's continue.
Speaker 1: And if you drive a snowplow, I like to hear
Speaker 1: from you also to get your perspective on things. And
Speaker 1: let's go first to it is this Alan Montgomery, al.
Speaker 1: What can you tell me?
Speaker 8: Well, I can tell you I drove a snowplow for
Speaker 8: a little over thirty years for Sharonville, Ohio.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, and I'd be a rich man right now.
Speaker 8: If I had ten bucks for every snowshovel that was
Speaker 8: thrown at me, I was doing what I had really
Speaker 8: if I.
Speaker 1: If I was you, I would have said thank you,
Speaker 1: but there's a tax happening. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 8: Well, they were attacks. Also, one of our other drivers
Speaker 8: learned that it's best to keep your window rolled up
Speaker 8: no matter how hot it is that cab because he
Speaker 8: got plaster upside the head with a snowball from the
Speaker 8: kids that were mad at him because we were doing
Speaker 8: so good on our roads they had to go to school.
Speaker 2: The next thing.
Speaker 1: And then they want to stop you from doing what
Speaker 1: you're doing exactly.
Speaker 5: But pride in our work, you know, and what we did.
Speaker 8: I think the gentleman from Cincinnati kind of hit the
Speaker 8: nail on the head with theirs. He was talking about.
Speaker 8: They've had drivers that's only been there ten or five years.
Speaker 8: You know, they haven't had they haven't had a snow
Speaker 8: like this. You know, I drove the blizzard of seventy
Speaker 8: seven seventy eight and.
Speaker 2: That was bad.
Speaker 8: But but listen right here. You know, if they haven't
Speaker 8: gotten behind the plow, they they have no idea.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they have. They should have established srouts.
Speaker 1: I would think, now is it you? You did your
Speaker 1: work in an area that was much different than the
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati or Mount Adams or Mount Auburn, and
Speaker 1: there were some hills in your area, but not much.
Speaker 1: Do you have sympathy for the mayor of Cincinnati that
Speaker 1: says we're not equipped to do this. Secondly, we have
Speaker 1: nowhere to put the snow. I've told him where to
Speaker 1: put the snow. And do you have sympathy for him
Speaker 1: or not?
Speaker 9: Not?
Speaker 8: Really, he's a politician, you know, they'll they'll tell the
Speaker 8: public whatever they want to hear.
Speaker 5: But you're talking of putting the.
Speaker 8: Snow down by the river.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 8: At one point in time, the ETA came to us
Speaker 8: and they were worried about the amount of salt we
Speaker 8: were putting down a lane mile.
Speaker 2: We had to.
Speaker 8: Calibrate our trucks to figure out, going a certain amount
Speaker 8: of speed, how much salt per ton was being put
Speaker 8: down so it didn't get into the storm water and
Speaker 8: plute the stormwater. So that would be something they would
Speaker 8: probably get into about that snow eventually melting and going
Speaker 8: into the Ohio River.
Speaker 1: So the hand of the government oil reaches into the
Speaker 1: city of Sharonville and Evendale and tell you the salt
Speaker 1: content you can put on city streets to be dumped
Speaker 1: into the aquifer.
Speaker 8: Well, between me and you, Willie.
Speaker 2: They tried to.
Speaker 1: Al you're a great American and thank you for your service.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Let's continue now with Tom and Price Hill.
Speaker 1: Then Darren, Tom and Price Hill give me a full report.
Speaker 1: How is Price Hill?
Speaker 4: Main streets are pretty clear. Side streets aren't too bad.
Speaker 4: But Bill, I wanted to say, years ago, the city
Speaker 4: used to use the MSD and the water works. They'd
Speaker 4: have their back hos and their dump trucks downtown plow
Speaker 4: on the streets, loading up the snow, and they'd designate
Speaker 4: certain areas around the city that had vacant lots, like
Speaker 4: you could use the Bengals parking lot down there where
Speaker 4: Hilltop used to be, okay, and they would pile they
Speaker 4: would pile the snow there and then it would just
Speaker 4: you know, go into the ground because they're not allowed
Speaker 4: to dump with the river anymore.
Speaker 1: Why can't you dump in the river because.
Speaker 4: Of the salt content and oil and stuff.
Speaker 1: Like that, all right, So you can't dump it though elsewhere.
Speaker 1: So when the city manager says, we have no plan
Speaker 1: whatsoever to get rid of the snow because we have
Speaker 1: nowhere to put it, all she has to do is
Speaker 1: use a back hoe and dump trucks and you use
Speaker 1: the plow and then uh organize it and put and
Speaker 1: put it in the dump truck and put it somewhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they did that downtown Tree years. Every time we'd
Speaker 4: have a big snow because there's no way you can't
Speaker 4: pile up, they plow it with the plows and then
Speaker 4: they'd have water works in MSD because their guys can't
Speaker 4: they're not digging in the streets in this kind of weather.
Speaker 4: So they would use them with the back hoes and
Speaker 4: the dump trucks and you know, move the snow out
Speaker 4: and usually they take it down on the well. Back
Speaker 4: then it was the bank's aread. You know, there was
Speaker 4: nothing there.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of it, but there's plenty of open spaces
Speaker 1: all over near downtown Cincinnati. You could rise the pickleball
Speaker 1: courts or around Montgomery and yeah, there's lots.
Speaker 4: Of Yeah, there's lots of places you could do that.
Speaker 4: But I mean, you know, and I remember, I think
Speaker 4: it was ninety nine when Todd Fortune we had a
Speaker 4: snow like this and he got all upset because we
Speaker 4: didn't have enough equipment, and they went and bought they
Speaker 4: started equipping cheat cheets and stuff. You know, regular SUVs
Speaker 4: with plows, and then we never used them and they
Speaker 4: got sold without ever being used.
Speaker 1: Tom, What would you do now on Mine Adams, which
Speaker 1: is cut off from the rest of the world. Cars
Speaker 1: can't go up, cars can't come to. She says, there's
Speaker 1: nothing we can do. City manager says, nothing we can do.
Speaker 1: What can you do now with Mount Adams.
Speaker 4: I get up there with the baccos and the dump
Speaker 4: trucks and haul it out there.
Speaker 5: That's the only thing you can do.
Speaker 1: May take it down or two and it's not going
Speaker 1: anywhere the next two weeks.
Speaker 4: Oh no, not with the weather we're going to have.
Speaker 4: And then we're supposed to have more. Tell I mean,
Speaker 4: if we get more on top of what they got,
Speaker 4: it's really going to be bad.
Speaker 1: Up there, no question. All right, thank you, stay right there,
Speaker 1: Thank you for your call. Let's continue. I think Jesse
Speaker 1: Brewer is just called in. Let me see if from
Speaker 1: he controls Boone County with an iron grip, and then
Speaker 1: Darren and Fort Thomas and Walton Harrison and Jesse Burrow
Speaker 1: the Great America, And how you doing, Jesse? Tell me
Speaker 1: about Boone County. The city's having all kinds of problems
Speaker 1: they can't figure out what to do with the snow.
Speaker 1: I've given them some idea what to do with the snow.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, how is Boone County?
Speaker 10: We know we're pretty good. I mean, obviously it was
Speaker 10: a rough day to get started. Our public's works team
Speaker 10: did an amazing crew.
Speaker 5: Job, sixty sixty five.
Speaker 10: Straight to get the snow removed, which is a lot
Speaker 10: of hours working rotating shifts.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the City of Florence.
Speaker 10: They were amazing and on top of THEIRS as well.
Speaker 10: What I saw was I was told that we've had
Speaker 10: this was the.
Speaker 5: Most snow we've had in.
Speaker 11: Fifteen years, something along those lines.
Speaker 5: So a lot of these guys have been doing this job.
Speaker 10: Never seen anything like this before, so they really stepped
Speaker 10: up to the plate knocked it down the park. We
Speaker 10: did have some problems, so.
Speaker 5: We have the City of Union.
Speaker 10: They had a private contract to do THEIRS, and they
Speaker 10: had a few problems there that you know, weren't that
Speaker 10: They're still working through as far as Boom County, the
Speaker 10: other incorporated county which includes Hebre and Burlington, and we
Speaker 10: plowed some of the state routes too because of the
Speaker 10: state its translation, because lack of man park here, so
Speaker 10: we take those on too. In the city of Florence,
Speaker 10: they they crushed it.
Speaker 5: They they got it.
Speaker 10: Took a little while to get to some of the
Speaker 10: side neighborhood streets, knows a little later in the twilight
Speaker 10: hours of the evening because the main roads, but by golly,
Speaker 10: they got there.
Speaker 1: Let me give you a complaint from Tony bender Uh.
Speaker 1: The snow plowed trucks will build up in front of
Speaker 1: his house like a four to five foot wall of
Speaker 1: solid snow and ice. So even though the streets are plowed,
Speaker 1: when he goes home at six or seven o'clock at night,
Speaker 1: he's got to get out of his car and shovel
Speaker 1: for a period of time to get the wall from
Speaker 1: the from the front of the driveway. How do you
Speaker 1: respond to that?
Speaker 10: You know, that does happen sometimes, and and our and
Speaker 10: our public works director said, people do let the snow
Speaker 10: about those issues. And it was a mistake like that
Speaker 10: or an oversight, you know, because these guys are working
Speaker 10: so much, they'll come back.
Speaker 5: And knock it out. But you got to call and
Speaker 5: let them know.
Speaker 1: So a telephone call gets it done.
Speaker 5: And we had a couple of.
Speaker 10: Special case though they may have been trying to keep
Speaker 10: him home.
Speaker 5: I don't think they.
Speaker 10: Maybe maybe they maybe he must have he must have
Speaker 10: ticked off guy maybe or something.
Speaker 1: He didn't like going over the bridge at night. He
Speaker 1: didn't like that to our trip home. But but uh,
Speaker 1: what advice would you provide to the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: They can't get at aact together because right now there's
Speaker 1: sections of the city which are impassable that the roads
Speaker 1: have not been touched. What do you say to the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 10: Well, I would I would say you probably need to
Speaker 10: get some kind of contract people to work in conjunction
Speaker 10: with your team. Better route planning as far as like
Speaker 10: if you're near the side streets. You know what our
Speaker 10: guys were doing. They hit the main routes, you know.
Speaker 10: And I learned they got collector and sub collector streets
Speaker 10: and this collector streets feed to the highways.
Speaker 5: And they were doing a pretty good job.
Speaker 10: At being hitting the collectors as they were going off
Speaker 10: the main drags right there and gettings most of those
Speaker 10: clear as they could. You got to have, you know,
Speaker 10: there's a logistical better plan and get some extra help,
Speaker 10: right you pay you know, we we we were paying
Speaker 10: the overtime. Uh, you got a budget for it. You know,
Speaker 10: we we budget for this in Boon County. We we
Speaker 10: we we expect this to kind of happen. We know
Speaker 10: it's gonna positively snow every year from where we live,
Speaker 10: so we we budget. You know, was ninety eight degrees
Speaker 10: outside and we're planning our budget for the next year.
Speaker 5: This is one of the things we budget for and
Speaker 5: plan for.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 10: And hope we don't have to use it because no
Speaker 10: one wants us much snow.
Speaker 5: But when we do, we do.
Speaker 1: And you know, back hose and dump trucks work that.
Speaker 1: Mount Adams almost impossible. They work, get to work, use
Speaker 1: that and it may take a d day and a half,
Speaker 1: but to get it done, back hose and dump trucks.
Speaker 10: You know, we we start doing our snow removal plan
Speaker 10: updates for the following.
Speaker 5: Year around Junior July, so we did.
Speaker 10: You know, we don't know the weather's gonna bring, but
Speaker 10: we want to be prepared for it when it happens.
Speaker 10: And the levels of that we hit. Who's working. How
Speaker 10: many guys in the manpower we need? I believe they
Speaker 10: can work up to a sixteen straight hour shift and
Speaker 10: a lot of our public Works Geame, I mean, hats
Speaker 10: off to them. They they sleep at the public works shop,
Speaker 10: They'll set up bunks.
Speaker 5: In there and have like a bunk room. They'll go
Speaker 5: out and flow.
Speaker 10: Their sixteen, come in and take their eight off and
Speaker 10: sleep and go back out at it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So it's uh. And they stay there and.
Speaker 10: Sleep there in the quarters there and rotated in and
Speaker 10: out like that if they have to, which is a hey,
Speaker 10: that's that's that's great planning on their part because if
Speaker 10: they if the guys go home where the staff drive,
Speaker 10: truck drivers go home, may not be able to get
Speaker 10: back to get to them. So a lot of that
Speaker 10: type of logistical pointing that they do on our end,
Speaker 10: and they communicate, you know, they you know, law enforcement says,
Speaker 10: hey we have issues over here, we got this going
Speaker 10: on over there, we need these roads clear.
Speaker 5: They kind of work together with that and get that done.
Speaker 1: Jesse, you're the man. I might want to move to
Speaker 1: Boone County at some point. And thanks for coming on
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Jesse.
Speaker 5: Hey, Billy, thanks having gooding.
Speaker 1: God bless Let's go to it quickly. Go to Walton Harrison,
Speaker 1: the home of the Wildcats. And Walt give me a
Speaker 1: full report.
Speaker 11: Literally many years ago, before I seventy one was built.
Speaker 11: Behind the Time Star Building, there used to be big
Speaker 11: man holes and these man holes had water flowing in
Speaker 11: them that would you turn on the water and would
Speaker 11: melt the snow when you dump the snow in the
Speaker 11: man holes. But after I seventy one was built, those
Speaker 11: man holes were gone. Well. Later on, many years later,
Speaker 11: I wound up being the supervisor in charge of the
Speaker 11: City Street Clan and we did have contracts with hill
Speaker 11: Top and a lot of the other ones that hit
Speaker 11: dump trucks and baccos, and they assisted us. Now, you
Speaker 11: were talking about Fort Washington Way that does not belong
Speaker 11: to the City of Cincinnati. That's not their responsibility. That's
Speaker 11: a O doc O doc has to take care of
Speaker 11: the Fort Washington Way. You can't put that hat on
Speaker 11: the city employees. As up February first, I will have
Speaker 11: retired thirty two years ago. Things have changed drastically in
Speaker 11: those thirty two years. But we did have contracts with
Speaker 11: private contractors.
Speaker 5: I don't know whether they do that anymore or not.
Speaker 1: No, they don't.
Speaker 11: The gentleman. The gentleman was talking about bunks in the garages,
Speaker 11: you got a problem. You now have female.
Speaker 5: Drivers and you have male drivers.
Speaker 11: Just like the police or the fire department, you know,
Speaker 11: you had to have set up different bunking areas so
Speaker 11: and the union would get involved in there, and you'd
Speaker 11: have more headaches than you could. Well you can imagine
Speaker 11: what you would do.
Speaker 1: I've watched that. I've watched the incompetence of the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati grow and the competency go the other direction.
Speaker 1: And when the city manager says there's nothing we can
Speaker 1: do about the snow and Mount Adams back hose and
Speaker 1: dump trucks out of work, they don't have enough personnel,
Speaker 1: not enough of equipment. And like you said, well perhaps
Speaker 1: the best thing to do would be to actually contract
Speaker 1: out and see what happens and get it done. And well,
Speaker 1: thank you for your service, and let's continue with more.
Speaker 1: Gonna follow this the next few days. It's not going
Speaker 1: to get any different, I don't think until the City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati becomes competent today, which is quite unlikely. Let's
Speaker 1: continue with more. Bill cunning Into Great American Live at

Speaker 13: seest message to the college football world.
Speaker 1: Did you see that?
Speaker 13: And then how Cincinnati wins it twenty four to thirteen.
Speaker 1: So you're really at this point you see should be
Speaker 1: the national title holder? Correct?
Speaker 12: Am I imagining things are? As basketball in general in
Speaker 12: a big crisis. The NBA right now is facing record
Speaker 12: low ratings, terrible. College basketball doesn't seem to you heard
Speaker 12: the the Mit Crown you guys played it earlier.
Speaker 1: I'd sent that to Dave.
Speaker 12: Seems like college basketball the kids aren't fighting trash and
Speaker 12: cloning the way you want.
Speaker 1: They get paid.
Speaker 12: High school is ruled by the AAU Circuit, which is
Speaker 12: a disaster. Best players on winning and not on skill
Speaker 12: development basketball. Caitlin Clark is demon eyes all the time. Well,
Speaker 12: you know, I hate to say this about her. She said,
Speaker 12: I'm a beneficier of white privilege. I wonder how many
Speaker 12: shots you made because of her skin color.
Speaker 1: Or she hadn't said that. She said, I'm a beneficial
Speaker 1: and now I have the comments. I'll give you the comments,
Speaker 1: rock if you want to hear the comments. Fire away
Speaker 1: of a former n WNBA superstar current executive Atlanta Dreams,
Speaker 1: said that Clark's fans this is you cannot be representative
Speaker 1: of what the WNBA would want in the league. That's you.
Speaker 1: Then Sue Byrd, who's a left throwing activist, great basketball player,
Speaker 1: said her fans aren't even acting as fans while pushing
Speaker 1: a racial agenda and pushing.
Speaker 12: Can image that household super and Megan repea, do you
Speaker 12: have all the conversations there that place your head would
Speaker 12: pop off?
Speaker 1: You're if you're a fan of Caitlin Clark, it's because
Speaker 1: you're filled with hate and ray.
Speaker 12: And That's why I was upsetting that Kaitlyn Clark apologized,
Speaker 12: because she's apologizing and people that are never She's never
Speaker 12: by doing that, she was thinking too of Okay, that's
Speaker 12: gonna bring people on board.
Speaker 1: No, they will never take a page out of Trump's book.
Speaker 12: And you never apologize these people because they inherently hate you,
Speaker 12: and they always will hate you no matter what you
Speaker 12: say or what you do.
Speaker 1: I wish you hadn't done that.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Juju Watkunch has picked up the banner. So many of
Speaker 1: her fans seem to have an agenda other than basketball,
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure it's good for the sport. Happened
Speaker 1: with the sport? Can we not just enjoy it? Everybody
Speaker 1: enjoyed about Larry Bird when he came in. You know
Speaker 1: how many points did Larry Bird score because of his
Speaker 1: skin color? But the NBA right now is terrible.
Speaker 12: I don't watch it, but I saw the other day,
Speaker 12: I guess in an Okay see game, they put up
Speaker 12: like fifty threes or something. Made Yeah, that's like forty
Speaker 12: something and made you know less than you know, like ten,
Speaker 12: Like they're just firing up threes because that's what the
Speaker 12: analytics have in court. But guess what if you can't
Speaker 12: shoot threes, he probably shouldn't shoot threes.
Speaker 1: Does that make any sense? Joe Dieters is coming back
Speaker 1: from Columbus listening, and I told him that there were
Speaker 1: about ten thousand Xavior fans last night about the ten
Speaker 1: minute mark booed and left centas center. Xavier fans who
Speaker 1: pay a fortune to get those tickets. And Saint John's

Speaker 1: Enough Nova Scotia, that's what I want. These are bad times.
Speaker 1: By the way, how is this snow removal in Harrison.
Speaker 1: It's wonderful.
Speaker 12: Now they go they got to go around a lot
Speaker 12: of houses, and there's houses like in the middle of
Speaker 12: the roads out there. But nevertheless that the streets are
Speaker 12: very very clean.
Speaker 1: Township. They're plowing the streets Adam Township. The streets are
Speaker 1: clean now.
Speaker 12: My dad cloud streets for about thirty plus years.
Speaker 1: That's a great job. It's fun.
Speaker 12: So I when I was like seven or eight, and
Speaker 12: it's obviously against the rules, but my they had brought
Speaker 12: me in the salt truck one so they want to
Speaker 12: come out.
Speaker 1: Like three straight downs. Oh I remember, like it was
Speaker 1: like it was yesterday. Makes you feel like a man
Speaker 1: should take What about the pebbles they are they cleaning
Speaker 1: the driveway? No? Oh no, well I was gone. I
Speaker 1: was down the driveway my my son mile and a
Speaker 1: half mile and a half long. Yeah, it almost almost
Speaker 1: almost had Sega class pass out. Don't get to work.
Speaker 12: Allow the driveway. I was very, very proud of my
Speaker 12: son helping his mom out. That's goa team, well eleven
Speaker 12: whatever inches of snow, that's go out there, plow boom.
Speaker 1: And the other thing is I see the little rock
Speaker 1: on the hood of a car, hood of the truck
Speaker 1: with your dad plowing, and little rock that's you holding
Speaker 1: on that little one, just riding that truck, riding that thing.
Speaker 1: I love it. It's great. Makes me feel like a
Speaker 1: man when I see a truck. So why can't the
Speaker 1: city since it's not the folks that are doing the plowing,
Speaker 1: it's the people in charge the equipment. And why not
Speaker 1: when the idiotic city manager says we don't have the
Speaker 1: ability to pick up the snow, and happens all the time.
Speaker 1: You get a backloader, get a dump truck. You start
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hill, load up the loader

Speaker 1: he doesn't pay the rent for the place he stays
Speaker 1: to practice? What what? Where's the upside here? And where're going? December?
Speaker 1: The eviction proceedings began December the seventeenth. The Bengals did
Speaker 1: not say why Burton did not travel, Coach's decision, raising
Speaker 1: questions about this and that. Two reports say recording of
Speaker 1: a nine to one one call were released on Wednesday morning,
Speaker 1: Rock Wednesday morning and stop hitting me, Stop hitting me,

Speaker 1: You're a Bengal. That's enough now, of course I may
Speaker 1: him pay the rent like the money bags you have.
Speaker 1: We pay everybody you pay double. Bengals say, we're the
Speaker 1: situation and we're monitoring events. We're monitoring the events because
Speaker 1: the NFL bivan that's what they're doing. The NFL can
Speaker 1: look into this irrespective of criminal charges, right they can say,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it don't matter what happens.
Speaker 12: Legally, they can just say, hey, we don't like your
Speaker 12: your conduct is detrimental to the shield, and issue a penalty.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't want to be. The two had been out
Speaker 1: together and argued about the incident and the woman's Oakley
Speaker 1: neighborhood apartment. Reports show after the night out, police were called,
Speaker 1: and the woman said Burton met her at her apartment,
Speaker 1: chased her inside, damaged her phone, assaulted her, including choking her.
Speaker 12: Allegations, We've seen a lot of times something and turned.
Speaker 1: Who's representing me? You think the magic Man, Merlin Shivernak
Speaker 1: or the magic Man is stepping up. He'll do some
Speaker 1: slide of hand and suddenly the case that goes away. Also,
Speaker 1: the caller said, what about crime? Yeah, choking, what's his crime?
Speaker 1: Shut up? How about this? Burton held a knife to
Speaker 1: her neck and threaten to kill her. Now the knife
Speaker 1: comes out, lies, damn b lies. I think it's Robert
Speaker 1: KKK bird right there. Remember him, he's out it in sports.
Speaker 1: He hit me, kicked me and called me the B word,
Speaker 1: and he puts a knife up to my throat. Come on, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what it says. The caller said before leaving that
Speaker 1: Burton held a knife to to h her neck and
Speaker 1: threatened to I'm sorry, I'm gonna strike that. From the record,
Speaker 1: Burton said, a knife to it to his neck. Burton
Speaker 1: held a knife to his neck and threatened to kill
Speaker 1: himself in front of her. That's a your reaction. Rock
Speaker 1: this guy.
Speaker 12: He may be a candidate for being on another team.
Speaker 1: If you're a coach, he wanted to deal with it.
Speaker 1: He was taking Ti Higgins's place, right, He was the
Speaker 1: third from Alabama. Roll Tide, Roll Tide.
Speaker 12: But all of this mess with Burton may result in
Speaker 12: what Bengal Stands probably wanted from the GEO, which is
Speaker 12: keeping tea number five.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know how you do it, but you know,
Speaker 1: Mike Brown's got six billion dollars and now that the
Speaker 1: then Paycheck just bought out Paide, what does that mean.
Speaker 1: I guess they're gonna call it paycheck paycheck stadium. I

Speaker 1: change segment. No, we do, Hamilton County. We always pay
Speaker 1: whenever we pay. Can't move the snow, but we can
Speaker 1: pay for that. Mike Brown in the Middle East is
Speaker 1: what I say. Oh, you can pay for that. No

Speaker 1: wouldn't like, wouldn't do put that up there for nothing nothing.
