14
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 3>Billy Cunningham, the Great America, welcome this Monday afternoon in

15
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 3>the Tri State all as well. The reports of my

16
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 3>demise are somewhat premature. It's not true. You can't believe

17
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 3>what Sloaney says. I am the Way, the Truth, and

18
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 3>the Light, not Sloaney. But that's a different issue. Jonan,

19
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 3>You and I now is the great Rob Sanders Sanders

20
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 3>for Kentucky. Colonel Sanders for Kentucky may step up and

21
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 3>take over the Senate seat. And Rob Sanders, welcome again

22
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 3>to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Colonel how are.

23
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>You, Willie? I'm doing well.

24
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 4>Thanks for having me back on this Monday. It's nice

25
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 4>of you to sub for Ken Brew today and you

26
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 4>know fill in. Yeah, you're a very addequate fill in.

27
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 4>It's nice to have the great American substituting for the

28
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 4>average American.

29
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm back, loud, proud, and sassy, and let's talk.

30
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 3>First of all, we're gonna talk about Mega versus McConnell,

31
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 3>Not Mike McConnell, but Mitch McConnell. Well, we'll deal with

32
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 3>that in the second half. But of course, when I

33
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 3>was monitoring events all over the world, I see that

34
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 3>you had a bank robbery happening on sixth in Madison,

35
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 3>a US bank on Friday afternoon. Just in time, get

36
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 3>you home by six or seven pm at night. Tell

37
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 3>the American people what happened with the shootout on the

38
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 3>mean streets of Comington.

39
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, Covington police were called to the US bank, as

40
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.120
<v Speaker 4>you mentioned, at six and Madison. The initial call was

41
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 4>for a bank robbery that was ongoing, with the subject

42
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 4>trying to rob the bank with a can of gasoline.

43
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>That was a first for me.

44
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 4>Never had anybody rob a bank by Arson and Kenton

45
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 4>County since I've been around here.

46
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 2>But then in the.

47
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 4>Middle of that, while officers were responding they got updates

48
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.120
<v Speaker 4>that the suspect also had a gun and had displayed

49
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 4>a gun, so they knew they were going to encounter

50
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 4>an armed bank robber. At that point, to A Covington's

51
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 4>Finest arrived on the scene. Actually a whole bunch of

52
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 4>them arrived on the scene, but one of them stayed

53
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 4>at the bank and some folks near the hotel. Covington

54
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 4>flagged the other two officers down and were pointing down

55
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 4>an alley that is between Madison and Scott Street, six

56
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 4>and seven streets. It's an east west alley in there,

57
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 4>saying the guy you're looking for went down there to

58
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 4>A Covington's Finest went down that alley where they encountered

59
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 4>Charles Davis, who is sixty two years old. He's from

60
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 4>right here in Covington, believe or not, on Scott Street.

61
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 4>The biggest chakra of this whole story, Willia, is that

62
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 4>he wasn't from Ohio. Nevertheless, mister Davis was walking down

63
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 4>the alley dropping money as he went.

64
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>There was money blowing all over the alley.

65
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 4>With the officers were coming down to apprehend mister Davis,

66
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 4>he pulled what appeared to be a handgun from his pocket,

67
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 4>and the two Covington officers opened fire and striking mister Davis.

68
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 4>He fell to the ground, but didn't stay on the

69
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 4>ground very long. Went for the gun again while he

70
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 4>was on the ground, causing the officers to discharge their

71
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 4>weapons a second time. They eventually charged mister Davis, took

72
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 4>him into custody, got him in medical attention, Covington Fire

73
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 4>Department took him straight over to University of Cincinnati Medical Center,

74
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 4>where they are remarkably good at patching people back up

75
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 4>from gunshot.

76
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Wounds, which only creates more work for me, Willie.

77
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 4>But nevertheless, we'll be happy to take care of mister Davis,

78
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 4>although he might end up getting charged federally. The FBI

79
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 4>actually showed up on the scene, which is a rather

80
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 4>new thing. It must be this new leadership at the FBI, Willie.

81
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 4>But they're getting back in the bank robber business and

82
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 4>may actually be prosecuting somebody, which is welcome.

83
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 2>James.

84
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 4>We're always willing to share the wealth here in Kenton

85
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.879
<v Speaker 4>County when it comes to crime, and if our friends

86
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 4>in the federal government want to prosecute mister Davis for

87
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 4>robbing us bank, we certainly welcome them back. To Kenton County.

88
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 4>It's you know, funny Willie. When I started out as

89
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 4>an assistant prosecutor, the FEDS took every bank robbery, and

90
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.000
<v Speaker 4>then it dropped down to, well, only bank robberies with handguns,

91
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 4>and then it dropped down to, well, only if it's

92
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 4>a serial bank robber. And we really haven't seen much

93
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 4>federal prosecution when it comes to bank robberies in the

94
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.279
<v Speaker 4>past few years. But it seems now that that is

95
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 4>going to change. I can only assume that that is

96
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 4>a newfound change brought on by the Trump administration and

97
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 4>Cash Bettel being in charge of the FBI and Pam

98
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 4>Bondi being in charge of the Department of Justice. But

99
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 4>we welcome them back to the bank robbery prosecution business.

100
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 3>I rob sixty two years old. I assume this is

101
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.240
<v Speaker 3>at his first rodeo because it's rather stupid what he did. Unfortunately,

102
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.439
<v Speaker 3>he's going to live, which is another problem. But I

103
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 3>guess the FBI is going to quit rating the home

104
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 3>of ex presidents tipping CNN ahead of time. What they're

105
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 3>going to do maybe get back in the business of

106
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 3>bank robberies and forgeries and and and bezel on that

107
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 3>kind of stuff. But is mister Davis, is this his

108
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 3>first rodeo at the age of sixty two years old

109
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 3>with a gallon of gasoline?

110
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, he surprisingly will he has no felony convictions here

111
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 4>in Kentucky. Now, I haven't had a chance to run

112
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.399
<v Speaker 4>his enc IC yet to find out if he's got

113
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 4>some across the river. Maybe he's a transplant from Cincinnati,

114
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 4>and that's why I'm surprised to learn that he was

115
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 4>living here in Covington. But nevertheless, I don't know if

116
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 4>he's been convicted of a felon he's in another state.

117
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.759
<v Speaker 4>That'll be part of the ongoing investigation, of course, which

118
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 4>may not land on my desk. It sounds like, but

119
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:37.279
<v Speaker 4>we'll see.

120
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 3>You're more than a happen to give up the case.

121
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 3>You got enough to do, right, We got plenty.

122
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 4>Of work going on over here, Willie. We got all

123
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 4>kinds of rapes, robbery's, child molestings, the murders, you name it.

124
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 4>They you know, is for a safer town as Kenton

125
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 4>County is. We still have plenty of prosecution business to

126
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 4>be done. I'm starting to trial tomorrow in fact, so

127
00:05:59.000 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 4>you know.

128
00:05:59.199 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 2>We sit pointing.

129
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 4>That's why we're willing to share the wealth with our

130
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 4>friends in the federal government, if you know, whenever they

131
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.160
<v Speaker 4>want to prosecute somebody, all they have to do is

132
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 4>let us know.

133
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 3>So inside the bank you have a handgun and a

134
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 3>can of gasolene. Kind of walk us through what happened

135
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 3>at the teller station that Did he threaten to maybe

136
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 3>shoot the gallon of gasoline to blow it up?

137
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 2>Did he?

138
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Why bring gasolene when you got a gun? Get into

139
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 3>the mine in Charles Davis.

140
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 4>Well, I haven't seen the video from inside the bank yet, Willie,

141
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 4>but just based upon the radio traffic that the dispatch

142
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 4>center was putting out to the police officers, he apparently

143
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 4>was threatening to light the can of gasolene on fire,

144
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 4>sort of blow the bank up, I suppose by lighting

145
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 4>a can of gasolene on fire and himself. Yeah, I'm

146
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 4>not sure exactly how that was supposed to work out,

147
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 4>but that's what they were being told over the radio

148
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 4>as police were responding, and then as they were on

149
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 4>their way to the bank, that's when the dispatchers told

150
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.040
<v Speaker 4>the responding officers that he had a gun. Now, I'm

151
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 4>not sure I believe this gun may turn out to

152
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 4>be a fake gun. I've seen some pictures of what

153
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.199
<v Speaker 4>was taken into evidence, but it certainly looks.

154
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Real enough that if I were the officers.

155
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't be waiting around to find out if it

156
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Speaker 4>was real or fake when that gun's pointed at you

157
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 4>and you're looking right down the barrel, if it doesn't

158
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Speaker 4>have a fluorescent orange tip on the end of it

159
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 4>or something. And even sometimes then because lord knows, we've

160
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.879
<v Speaker 4>had criminals in the past that have made, you know,

161
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 4>painted their guns up to look like toys to try

162
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.759
<v Speaker 4>and trick the police. But nevertheless, this one didn't look

163
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.079
<v Speaker 4>just like a handgun. It was dark, it had a barrel,

164
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.920
<v Speaker 4>it was pointed right at the officers, so you know,

165
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 4>it's no wonder. It's said old saying that Fafodo Willie,

166
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.720
<v Speaker 4>if you're gonna play stupid games, you're gonna win stupid prizes.

167
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.120
<v Speaker 4>Mister Dave is lucky to be alive. He's lucky that

168
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.600
<v Speaker 4>they have just fantastic doctors and nurses over at University

169
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 4>Hospital that managed to save people's lives on a regular.

170
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 2>Basis, and as often as people.

171
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 4>Get shot on the north side of the river, that's

172
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 4>a really good thing. But nevertheless, it does mean more

173
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 4>work for the prosecutors on the south side of the

174
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 4>river when the person getting shot is a bank robber,

175
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 4>and so.

176
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.879
<v Speaker 3>Rob Sanders, when you take someone across the Ohio River,

177
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Tony Bender may not know this extradition is involved, and

178
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 3>so you have to gunshot wounds. If you get a

179
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.480
<v Speaker 3>gunshot wound, get to University Hospital, you got a good

180
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 3>shot of living. Unless you're a Cabaca Abba. That's a

181
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 3>different story. So when you take a bank robber who

182
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 3>is shot to U see medical, what is the process

183
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 3>to get him back to Kenton County, Well, you hit on.

184
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>A very important point.

185
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 4>Willie University Medical Center is the only eleven one trauma

186
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 4>center within probably one hundred miles of here, or real

187
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 4>close to one hundred miles. The next closest one is

188
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 4>University of Kentucky Medical Center down in Lexington, which I

189
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 4>always try and talk to fireman and a driving them

190
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.200
<v Speaker 4>to Lexington so I don't have to extraduie them back

191
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 4>to Kentucky. But I don't know to saving people's lives,

192
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.159
<v Speaker 4>I guess comes above more work for Rob Sanders in

193
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 4>the fireman's mind, because they always go and take them

194
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 4>to UC. But then we have to get warrants for

195
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.120
<v Speaker 4>those people's arrests. We're not allowed to just drive back

196
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.200
<v Speaker 4>across the river and put them in handcuffs and drive

197
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:09.879
<v Speaker 4>them back to Kentucky.

198
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 2>We have to get warrants for their arrest. We put

199
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the warrant in NCIC, then.

200
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 4>Get our friends at the Cincinnati Police Department or Hamilton

201
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.320
<v Speaker 4>County Sheriff's Office to serve those warrants and take them

202
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 4>to the Hamilton County Justice Center. And even though it's

203
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 4>just a few blocks away, Willie, they have to sit

204
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 4>there in the Hamilton County Detention Center until they get

205
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.600
<v Speaker 4>a court appearance, and they can waive extradition, which means

206
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 4>the Kenton County sheriffil drive over in the next day

207
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 4>or two and pick them up, or they can fight extradition,

208
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:38.840
<v Speaker 4>in which case it could take.

209
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 2>Months to get them back.

210
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 4>And we have to call our friends down at the

211
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Governor's office and get a governor's warrant and send that paperwork.

212
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 2>It's a whole lot of work, whole.

213
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 4>Lot of paperwork, all sorts of red tape just to

214
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 4>get somebody a few blocks north across the river. But nevertheless,

215
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 4>those are all the hoops we have to jump through.

216
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 4>It's no different bringing them back from Cincinnati as it

217
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:01.360
<v Speaker 4>would be from Hawaii or or any other corner of

218
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 4>the United States. It doesn't matter how near or far

219
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.840
<v Speaker 4>away that dependent is. If they're on the other side

220
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:08.519
<v Speaker 4>of the state line, we have to jump through all

221
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.840
<v Speaker 4>these hoops to extradite them back to Kentucky.

222
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.120
<v Speaker 3>And Saint E's is a great hospital. Hell I was

223
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 3>born there. But nonetheless, if they're not being designated a

224
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.399
<v Speaker 3>trauma Level one, if you don't take them to the

225
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.840
<v Speaker 3>best facility, you could be accused of not caring sufficiently

226
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.159
<v Speaker 3>for this shot bank robber by taking him to a

227
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.919
<v Speaker 3>hospital not designated by National Institute of Health as a

228
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 3>Level one trauma center. I get that now. Secondly, as

229
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.240
<v Speaker 3>you may know, Tony Bender's good friend, Mitch McConnell has

230
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.919
<v Speaker 3>decided not to run for reelection. I'm not sure he's

231
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 3>going to make it alive till next year, but that's

232
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 3>another issue. And when I talked to Mega types, they

233
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 3>tell me this is going to be the Battle Royale

234
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.320
<v Speaker 3>because the Trumpster does not want to have someone like

235
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 3>Mitch McConnell represent Kentucky in the US Senate. Because Mitch

236
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.600
<v Speaker 3>McConnell's turn to the dark side. Of course, Trump won

237
00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Kentucky by thirty percentage points, but that's lost on Mitch McConnell,

238
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 3>and so it's going to be Mega versus McConnell, Mega

239
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.960
<v Speaker 3>versus McConnell. Who wins that matchup?

240
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.200
<v Speaker 4>Willie, That's a really confusing question, because you know, there's

241
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 4>everybody in the race, at least everybody that's rumored to

242
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.080
<v Speaker 4>be getting in the race so far, has got connections

243
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:22.440
<v Speaker 4>to both Trump and to McConnell. Especially when you're talking

244
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 4>about Daniel Cameron. You know, when he ran for governor Kentucky,

245
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 4>he had Donald Trump's endorsement, much to the chagrin of

246
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.440
<v Speaker 4>some of his opponents who thought that they were going

247
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.080
<v Speaker 4>to get the Trump endorsement and did not. He came

248
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 4>out in favor of Daniel Cameron. Now Daniel Cameron's running again.

249
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.879
<v Speaker 4>But of course Daniel Cameron got his start in politics

250
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 4>by being general counsel for Senator McConnell. So obviously he

251
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:49.080
<v Speaker 4>is very close to Senator McConnell. But everybody involved has

252
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Speaker 4>been closing. Senator McConnell's been involved in Kentucky politics pretty

253
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 4>much synonymous with federal Kentucky politics for the last thirty

254
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 4>forty years. So it's very different cult to find anybody

255
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.559
<v Speaker 4>who can make it on a stage that large where

256
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.679
<v Speaker 4>they could be a viable candidate for the US Senate

257
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 4>in Kentucky that doesn't have some kind of connections to

258
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.600
<v Speaker 4>the McConnell network and the McConnell network. Even though Mitch

259
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 4>McConnell has gotten sideways, I would say with the bulk

260
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.320
<v Speaker 4>of the Republican Party, most of whom are very strong

261
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.480
<v Speaker 4>supporters Donald Trump here in Kentucky of late, he still

262
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 4>has a very large network. He's had hundreds of people

263
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:33.480
<v Speaker 4>that have worked for him as either interns or students

264
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 4>or along the way. The McConnell's scholarship program in Kentucky

265
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 4>is very well known. Lots of the people that receive

266
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 4>McConnell's scholarships go on to work in Senator McConnell's office.

267
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 4>Needless to say, this isn't so much to pat him

268
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 4>on the back as it is as much to articulate

269
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 4>just how broad his network is. So even though he

270
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 4>is on his way out the door, there are a

271
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 4>lot of people that are very fond of Senator McConnell.

272
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.480
<v Speaker 4>Who are very influential in Kentucky pics in.

273
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Their own rate.

274
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 4>And so it'll be very interesting to see whether Donald

275
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 4>Trump endorses in the Senate race, whether Mitch McConnell endorses

276
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 4>in the Senate race, and where the McConnell network gets

277
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.279
<v Speaker 4>involved when he they call it the McConnell machine, and

278
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.960
<v Speaker 4>it will be interesting to see if that machine is

279
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 4>united behind one candidate or if they're fractured and broken

280
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.000
<v Speaker 4>up behind multiple candidates, which certainly is the possibility if

281
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 4>multiple candidates with McConnell connections jump in the race.

282
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, of course, Tony Bender of Boone County loves Andy Bascher,

283
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 3>the current governor, And of course there's reports that Bescher

284
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 3>is going to jump out of the He's got two

285
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 3>more years to serve that he's going to run for

286
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 3>the Senate seat. So give me a matchup, Andy Bascher

287
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 3>versus Cameron, Andy Bscherer versus Scott Jennings, this CNN contributor

288
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Andy Bascher versus Rob Sanders, the Colonel or Andy Bascherer

289
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:56.080
<v Speaker 3>versus Tony Bender. Does Andy does Bascher win that thing?

290
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.879
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Basher jumps in at all, Willie, And

291
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you why. I think he's hoping to run

292
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 4>for president in twenty twenty eight, and if he runs

293
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 4>for Senate and loses, his chances of being the Democratic

294
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.559
<v Speaker 4>nominee for president go way down. Now, as you know, Willie,

295
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm not exactly the biggest Andy but Sheer fan in

296
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.759
<v Speaker 4>the world. I don't think he's got a shot, a

297
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 4>prayer anything to be president of the United States. But nevertheless,

298
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 4>there's a lot of people in the Democratic Party in

299
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 4>Kentucky and a lot of people in the Democratic Party

300
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.399
<v Speaker 4>nationwide that I don't know if they just haven't met

301
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.159
<v Speaker 4>Andy Basheer, because he's about as exciting as as white toast,

302
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.000
<v Speaker 4>but they think he's got a shot at president. I

303
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 4>think he thinks he's got a shot at president. So

304
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.759
<v Speaker 4>I don't think he jumps in the Senate race at all,

305
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.919
<v Speaker 4>and that's why he's trying to keep his powder drive

306
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.039
<v Speaker 4>for the presidential race. Nevertheless, if he were to change

307
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.039
<v Speaker 4>his mind and jump in the Senate race, it would

308
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.320
<v Speaker 4>be interesting. I think Scott Jennings could be a very formidable,

309
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.519
<v Speaker 4>formidable opponent to anybody. I don't know that he's got

310
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.039
<v Speaker 4>the name id, but I've seen him on TV before

311
00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.600
<v Speaker 4>He is very sharp witted, very intelligent, very varianced when

312
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.080
<v Speaker 4>it comes to politics. He's been involved in campaigns, usually

313
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 4>more behind the scenes for decades, but he's got his

314
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.639
<v Speaker 4>own PR company that's very adept at running campaigns, and

315
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.360
<v Speaker 4>the folks down there acus they really know what they're doing.

316
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 4>I think Andy Barr has done a good job staying

317
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:24.120
<v Speaker 4>elected and re elected in his congressional district, which encompasses

318
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.840
<v Speaker 4>a lot of the Lexington area, which is one of

319
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 4>the few blue holdout locations. You know, Lexington's much more

320
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:34.440
<v Speaker 4>politically similar to Hamilton County or Cincinnati.

321
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.200
<v Speaker 2>More specifically, it's very blue.

322
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker 4>Yet Andy bar keeps getting elected down there, so I

323
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.919
<v Speaker 4>don't think you can discount his chances. And then you

324
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.480
<v Speaker 4>never know if another congressman from Kentucky, like our own

325
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.919
<v Speaker 4>Thomas Massey, or like Jamie Comer, might jump in the

326
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.480
<v Speaker 4>race as well, so it could get very crowded, it

327
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.279
<v Speaker 4>could get very messy. As we've already mentioned, Daniel Cameron's

328
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 4>still hanging out and everybody's been knowing he's been eyeing

329
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 4>that seat since he lost the governor race. But that

330
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.159
<v Speaker 4>you know that lost in the governor race makes him

331
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.440
<v Speaker 4>vulnerable Willy. It's you know, some people smell blood in

332
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.080
<v Speaker 4>the water, and that might factor into Andy Basheer's decision too.

333
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:09.960
<v Speaker 4>He could change his mind if he thinks that Daniel

334
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 4>Cameron is going to be the Republican nominee. He's probably

335
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.120
<v Speaker 4>sitting there thinking to himself, well, I already beat him once,

336
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.679
<v Speaker 4>why wouldn't I beat him again? But this will probably

337
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 4>be a very different risk because when we're talking federal

338
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.000
<v Speaker 4>politics as opposed to state politics, you know, it's it's

339
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 4>a whole different ballgame because we're not just talking about

340
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 4>who's given out the big FEMA checks or who's holding

341
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.279
<v Speaker 4>their drinks with Andy or whatever he called his press

342
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:38.639
<v Speaker 4>conferences every day during COVID. I think, generally speaking, your

343
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:42.000
<v Speaker 4>average voter in Kentucky looks at the governorship and thinks

344
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.159
<v Speaker 4>they would do far less damage if they elect a

345
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 4>Democrat governor as opposed to electing a Democrat to the

346
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 4>United States Senate.

347
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Of course, donated legislature.

348
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.639
<v Speaker 3>We got a big question for you. Of course, you're

349
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:01.320
<v Speaker 3>an honorary Kentucky colonel, as I am. Colonel's for Kentucky.

350
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.119
<v Speaker 3>Even though the headquarters have left the Louisville I love

351
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.480
<v Speaker 3>the KFC products. Could you possibly, as Colonel Sanders, run

352
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.519
<v Speaker 3>in Kentucky and put a chicken in every pot? Is

353
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:12.599
<v Speaker 3>that a possibility?

354
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 2>It's always a possibility, Willie.

355
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 4>But the biggest downside about that is I've spent the

356
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.559
<v Speaker 4>last eighteen plus years now building the Commonwealth Attorney's Office

357
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:23.519
<v Speaker 4>into the best felony prosecutor's office in Kentucky. And if

358
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:28.440
<v Speaker 4>I leave, guess who gets to appoint my replacement. Andy

359
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Baser would get to appoint my replacement. I wouldn't trust

360
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:33.920
<v Speaker 4>him to point one of the fine assistants that work

361
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 4>for me. I've got a number of them here that

362
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:37.720
<v Speaker 4>could run my office if anything were to God forbid,

363
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.079
<v Speaker 4>happened to me. But it doesn't. Just you know, it's

364
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.640
<v Speaker 4>not like having a lieutenant governor or a vice president

365
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.440
<v Speaker 4>where they automatically assumed control of my office. If anything

366
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.720
<v Speaker 4>happens to me, or if I run for US Senate

367
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:54.000
<v Speaker 4>and win, my vacancy would be filled by the Andy

368
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:57.599
<v Speaker 4>Basheer himself, and I would have no control over who

369
00:17:57.640 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 4>that person was. And the last thing I'm going to

370
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.799
<v Speaker 4>do is turn Kenton County in the Comal with Attorney's

371
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:08.160
<v Speaker 4>Office over to some George Soros loving type to be

372
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 4>a liberal voice in the prosecutor's office. That's the last

373
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 4>thing kent me neat.

374
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:14.599
<v Speaker 3>I think a fried chicken in every pot will make

375
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Speaker 3>a lot of sense to me, Colonel, but we got

376
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.160
<v Speaker 3>to run. We'll see what happens. Scott Jennings, I love

377
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.079
<v Speaker 3>that guy. I've met Daniel Cameron under your leadership seems good.

378
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.839
<v Speaker 3>And nonetheless Andy Barr would be fine too. It's just

379
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:28.079
<v Speaker 3>Kentucky's got to stay Republican because the next four years

380
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.000
<v Speaker 3>is going to be rough no matter who's in office.

381
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Once again, Colonel Rob Sanders of Kentucky, thanks again for

382
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:36.200
<v Speaker 3>coming on the Bill Cunningham.

383
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Show, Willie. It's been a pleasure.

384
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.440
<v Speaker 4>And hey, let me know when you hear which game

385
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.680
<v Speaker 4>Vanilla Ice will be playing at this year at the

386
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.240
<v Speaker 4>Reds Games, and you know we'll attend his concert together.

387
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen the schedule yet.

388
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to talk to talk to the powers that

389
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:52.359
<v Speaker 3>be Karen Kraft and let's do it. We'll be dancing

390
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:53.799
<v Speaker 3>on our leisure suits looking.

391
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Good, excellent, Willy. I look forward to it.

392
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Rob Sanders for Kentucky at fried chicken in
