Speaker 1: Billy Cunning in the Great America, Welcome to this floor.
Speaker 1: Is Tuesday afternon in the Tri States the Reds Baseball,
Speaker 1: they have one in a row and so in fact
Speaker 1: two in a row. They won Sunday and Monday. So
Speaker 1: if they win the next ten games they might be
Speaker 1: back in it. They're only like three and a half
Speaker 1: games out of a wildcard. They have to leap over
Speaker 1: eighteen teams, but if they get there, they'll be in
Speaker 1: the wildcard. And tonight Hunter Green, who I think, according
Speaker 1: to David Young of Warren County, Hunter Green may be
Speaker 1: related to Hunter Biden. The two have the same first name.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's accurate, but I want to check
Speaker 1: in with David Young on the tennis tournament. So much more,
Speaker 1: plus the wards of Jason Williams yesterday that talked about
Speaker 1: following Jimmy Haslin to leave downtown Cleveland and go south
Speaker 1: into the suburbs and build a big deal. And is
Speaker 1: that possible for one of the six or seven outlying counties,
Speaker 1: maybe in Boone County, Tony Bender and a bunch of
Speaker 1: investments get together and build a stadium for the tune
Speaker 1: of two to three billion dollars and then there'll be
Speaker 1: a big return on that in about thirty five years.
Speaker 1: But until then, Dave Young, welcome again to the Bill
Speaker 1: cunning Him Show, the tennis tournament, the Bengals moving and more.
Speaker 1: Have you seen evidence of Hunter Green pitching tonight related
Speaker 1: somehow to Hunter Biden? Is that possible, Willie?
Speaker 2: That is an excellent topic to start off with, seeing
Speaker 2: with my great allegiance and desire to be a professional
Speaker 2: baseball player and my performing at such a high level
Speaker 2: at Red's Fantasy Camp each and every year. Yes, I
Speaker 2: thought I was going to get.
Speaker 3: The call up.
Speaker 2: But I will say Hunter Green is a fine young man.
Speaker 2: I like him. I have met him. He has earned
Speaker 2: his money through completely legal channels, and he is not
Speaker 2: doing a side hustle of painting pictures for big money.
Speaker 2: He is actually throwing a baseball and earning his keep.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if there is a direct Actually
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's not a correlation between the two Hunters.
Speaker 1: Well, you never know, because Hunter Biden sold some of
Speaker 1: his art for seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
Speaker 1: a painting to a rich democrat who now is the
Speaker 1: ambassador to Switzerland, And so I know there's no connection
Speaker 1: between the seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars paid to
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden to get the ambassadorship. It looks a little
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that once you go into politics, if
Speaker 1: you're Nancy Pelosi or if you're Mitch McConnell, even though
Speaker 1: you make one hundred and sixty two thousand dollars a year,
Speaker 1: which seems like a lot of money, but you live
Speaker 1: in two places, you pay taxes. Taxes in Washington, DC
Speaker 1: are confiscatory, that somehow there's a direct correlation between the
Speaker 1: number of years you're in politics making a little no
Speaker 1: money and your net worth. Is there any truth to
Speaker 1: Warren County being the same way that you've gone into politics,
Speaker 1: And of course you were a rich guy before you
Speaker 1: went in you're a rich guy now. But have you
Speaker 1: noticed in Washington, d C. That the longer you're in politics,
Speaker 1: the more money you make and you build homes along
Speaker 1: the Atlantic Ocean? Have you noticed that?
Speaker 2: Another very interesting question, And maybe I don't understand money
Speaker 2: that well, even though that's what I did for a
Speaker 2: living for a long time. When it's publicly disclosed on
Speaker 2: your financial documents, you're a politician, how much money you're
Speaker 2: worth when you take office, you have to disclose a
Speaker 2: ballpark of what that looks like. Then you make a
Speaker 2: publicly disclosed salary. We the people pay you a salary
Speaker 2: to do a certain job. Then, miraculously, four or eight
Speaker 2: years later, you go from being worth you know, a
Speaker 2: few hundred thousand dollars, maybe a couple of million bucks,
Speaker 2: and you're worth thirty million, wow, or in some cases
Speaker 2: one hundred million as a president when frugal work community organized.
Speaker 2: I don't maybe, but you know, hey, maybe they made
Speaker 2: a million bucks on a book. But man's that's an
Speaker 2: unbelievably good return on your investment advisor.
Speaker 1: I guess well. The Clinton's left office in twenty oh one,
Speaker 1: Hillary said we're broke. Within about four or five years,
Speaker 1: they're worth three hundred million dollars. The Obama's left office
Speaker 1: with little or no money. They're worth a half a
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Mitch McConnell, they're Republican out of Kentucky is
Speaker 1: worth one hundred million. And one of the greatest things
Speaker 1: is Nancy Pelos. She's now worth, according to her estimates,
Speaker 1: two hundred to four hundred million dollars, and she must
Speaker 1: be very frugal with her money. And of course Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: he's buying houses along the Atlantic coastline. He never made
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and sixty two thousand, Tili became
Speaker 1: the president making four hundred thousand. He must be very frugal.
Speaker 1: He's buying multi million dollar mansions on the coastline. That's
Speaker 1: not bad. I mean, you got to save your money.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about something more Germane really, yeah, we got
Speaker 1: you a hard stop.
Speaker 2: I'm in too good of a freaking mood. It's perfect weather,
Speaker 2: perfect time of year, perfect stuff going on around the
Speaker 2: corner at the Mason Tennis Tournament. It's unbelievable. That's what
Speaker 2: I want to talk about.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about tennis and then the Bengals possibly moving.
Speaker 1: First of all, the tennis tournament. It's underway with Ted
Speaker 1: McKay and it's hot and heavy. I see that seventy percent.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this. Seventy percent of those who attend
Speaker 1: the tournament do not live in the tri States, So
Speaker 1: seventy percent come from forty nine other states. They come
Speaker 1: from Europe, come from Asia. Unbelievable and to keep that
Speaker 1: as such a win, even though the Jokers not playing
Speaker 1: Alcatraz Is? How was yesterday? How will this afternoon be?
Speaker 1: How about tomorrow? When should I attend? If at all?
Speaker 2: You should attend often? And it's literally unbelievable. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly an emotional guy, will unless I getn't,
Speaker 2: you know, talking about my kids or something. But Saturday
Speaker 2: I went up there for the first time on Community Day,
Speaker 2: which used to be kind of a throwaway day they
Speaker 2: called the tournament. There was really nothing going on, just
Speaker 2: getting the operations going. They sold seven thousand tickets plus
Speaker 2: the people that were there on passes and things. There
Speaker 2: was I don't know ten thousand people around that stadium
Speaker 2: to watch a charity match with Agacy, Roddick and Eisner.
Speaker 2: And it was literally unbelievable, Willie. I was sarr yesterday.
Speaker 2: Bands playing literally they they've transformed this fan area where
Speaker 2: it used to be just so hot in the asphalt
Speaker 2: and it was terrible. They put this fan centric philosophical
Speaker 2: approach to everything out there. They've made it into like
Speaker 2: a garden. There are these massive trees. I don't even
Speaker 2: there where the you get landscaping trees this big. I
Speaker 2: mean it's all shaded out there now. It is so
Speaker 2: much better. There was two different bands playing, and it's
Speaker 2: like there was activity and it's great tennis to watch.
Speaker 2: But there was just a lot of stuff going on
Speaker 2: that was fun. All the restaurants, bars everywhere. I mean,
Speaker 2: it was just a heck of a lot of fun
Speaker 2: and people were clearly having fun yesterday at the Sensei
Speaker 2: Open in Warren County.
Speaker 1: And just for fun. And next year is going to
Speaker 1: be two weeks instead of one week. Once we'll stretch
Speaker 1: on a seventeen days an economic engine, which brings me
Speaker 1: to my next question, your friend and mine. Jason Williams
Speaker 1: of the Inquiry and Here wrote a column about why
Speaker 1: it would be almost impossible for the Bengals to move
Speaker 1: anywhere but on the riverfront, following the lead of Jimmy Haslin,
Speaker 1: who's the owner of the Brown's worth about nine billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Because he's going to put up half the money, which
Speaker 1: is about one and a half billion. They're going to
Speaker 1: give him two hundred and fifty acres. He's going to
Speaker 1: develop it all. He's going to be the landlord for
Speaker 1: hundreds of apartment's, going to be the landlord for strip centers,
Speaker 1: going to have condo projects and swimming pools and dancing
Speaker 1: girls and dancing bears. And that's going to be twenty
Speaker 1: five miles south of Cleveland, which is a good idea.
Speaker 1: The closer you get to Cleveland, the more your nostrils
Speaker 1: begin to flare and you smell stuff. You get out
Speaker 1: of Cleveland things a little bit better. And so he
Speaker 1: made the point in the inquir that the odds of
Speaker 1: the Bengals leaving Cincinnati downtown Cincinnati out to Warren County
Speaker 1: or Claremont County or Boone County, despite the heavy investment
Speaker 1: of Tony Bender and Boone County around the airport, is
Speaker 1: almost non existent. Now your names come up because you're
Speaker 1: the grand economic emperors area of Warren County that kept
Speaker 1: the tennis tournament. You expand that King's Island all Hell's
Speaker 1: break and lose great place to live from your general overlook,
Speaker 1: what are the odds of the Bengals using Warren County
Speaker 1: as reached to stay in Cincinnati and get a better
Speaker 1: deal from Alisha Reese also known as Elisha Bridges because
Speaker 1: she loves the nightlife. What are the odds.
Speaker 2: Remote at best? Because here's the situation, and I like
Speaker 2: Jason Williams, a lot super talented writer. I will say,
Speaker 2: and I have to. As part of the victory tour
Speaker 2: of keeping the tennis tournament, there was one particular Inquire
Speaker 2: story written by said reporter that said, basically, I was
Speaker 2: crazy and it was about to turn into the pickleball
Speaker 2: mecca of the Midwest. Correct, and they were losing the
Speaker 2: tennis tournament. And god, I didn't know what I was
Speaker 2: talking about. And I have to a little bit say
Speaker 2: that maybe other people that know what they were talking
Speaker 2: about when I said it was going to stay and
Speaker 2: we had a really good shot, maybe I was right.
Speaker 2: But anyway, I digress. So I'm not living in the past.
Speaker 2: I'm not happy today, William. I'm moving forward. Tennis is
Speaker 2: being played around the corner. It's awesome when you talk
Speaker 2: about the Bengals, which I'm a huge fan of the
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals and the Cincinnati Reds obviously, and those are
Speaker 2: national sports assets, even though our tennis tournament is international,
Speaker 2: but those are national sports assets that are so critically
Speaker 2: important for the region. My prayer is that the Brown
Speaker 2: family in Hamilton County, which I believe owns the stadium,
Speaker 2: work out a deal and that that stadium is upgraded. Now,
Speaker 2: if you ask in general, has there been a trend
Speaker 2: in the NFL by very rich owners saying I want
Speaker 2: to control more of the pie, and as a matter
Speaker 2: of fact, I want to make the pie outside over here,
Speaker 2: and I basically own the whole pie, and I'm going
Speaker 2: to leave the taxpayers out of it. There has been
Speaker 2: a trend of doing that, and there's actually a really
Speaker 2: strong economic case for that happening, simply because when you
Speaker 2: think about it, I mean Jerry Jones, super rich guy.
Speaker 2: I've been to at and T Stadium, every thing around there.
Speaker 2: There was really nothing there, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: they started building up an entertainment complex with hotels, bars,
Speaker 2: restaurants all around the stadium, knowing that's a destination location.
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be downtown. And so he built
Speaker 2: all of those things around there on his dime, knowing
Speaker 2: he was going to make that investment back by utilizing
Speaker 2: his one big asset. So there is a model to
Speaker 2: do that. However, the pieces are not in place, in
Speaker 2: my humble opinion, for that to happen in Cincinnati, simply
Speaker 2: because you know, I hate talking about other people's financial situations,
Speaker 2: but I don't know that from reports that would the
Speaker 2: Bengals ownership group have the desire to go and spend
Speaker 2: presumably billions of dollars on creating their own entertainment and complex.
Speaker 2: Maybe they do, and good for them. Again, I don't
Speaker 2: know other people's financial certaincy sences other than what reported
Speaker 2: in the public domain. But you know, we do know
Speaker 2: that owners of other teams are worth multiple billions of
Speaker 2: dollars and them spending a billion or two billion here
Speaker 2: or there on something that they project getting their money
Speaker 2: back in a very short return on their investment. That happens,
Speaker 2: and it happens more and more, which is good for
Speaker 2: the taxpayers because the taxpayers do get a benefit from
Speaker 2: these sports stadiums. If it's a good deal, Willy, it's
Speaker 2: got to be a good deal put together by business
Speaker 2: people where both sides went, the taxpayers and the people
Speaker 2: that have risked their own free market capital and gone
Speaker 2: and invested millions and sometimes billions of dollars in these
Speaker 2: sports teams. It's got to be a mutually beneficial deal.
Speaker 1: Well, Jason Williams makes the point that it was like
Speaker 1: pulling teeth to get fifteen million dollars out of the
Speaker 1: City of Mason and Warren County put in a few
Speaker 1: million more than that, but scaling it by scale, that
Speaker 1: is a pittance compared to what is required to build
Speaker 1: an NFL stadium. And everything goes around that. And Mike
Speaker 1: Brown is about ninety years old. He still drives his
Speaker 1: Chevy Lumina. He's got that goof of the little hat
Speaker 1: that he wears. The odds him saying at the age
Speaker 1: of ninety, you know what, boys and girls, it's time
Speaker 1: for us to strike out to buy two hundred acres
Speaker 1: of land in the middle of nowhere and to build
Speaker 1: an entertainment complex and strip malls and apartment buildings over
Speaker 1: the next five to ten years. I don't think that
Speaker 1: fits Mike Brown's model. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: it fits.
Speaker 2: Him right again, I could be wrong, But that is
Speaker 2: a model. Is that the model for the ownership group
Speaker 2: of the Bengals. I've got my doubts, all right.
Speaker 1: So if it stays in Cincinnati, that's a positive. I
Speaker 1: think to move an NFL franchise takes it almost an
Speaker 1: act of God. There's all kinds of requirements that you
Speaker 1: can't do it, and so it's only a matter of
Speaker 1: one hundred million here and one hundred million there. And
Speaker 1: Warren County is not scaled to produce a billion dollars
Speaker 1: of benefits to any organization coming in, including the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Is that fair to say that Warren County won't step
Speaker 1: up for a billion dollars?
Speaker 2: Listen, Willie, we take our financial position very, very seriously.
Speaker 2: We are stewards of the tax payer dollars. And I
Speaker 2: think a lot of politicians sometimes get cross when they
Speaker 2: start thinking about almost buying votes that it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's a candy store. Hey you want this. Oh wait,
Speaker 2: here's a break over here. Oh, here's a break there.
Speaker 2: It has to be a mutually beneficial relationship. And what
Speaker 2: we did with the tennis tournament was think there's a
Speaker 2: seventy five million dollars a year current economic impact to
Speaker 2: the region, and next year it's going to be close
Speaker 2: to one hundred and fifty million dollars, two hundred thousand
Speaker 2: people coming this year, four hundred thousand people attending next year,
Speaker 2: and as you said, close to seventy percent of those
Speaker 2: don't live here. And if you're Hamilton County, Claremont County,
Speaker 2: Butler County, Warren County, those people that live away from here,
Speaker 2: and I've talked to a lot of them from Chicago
Speaker 2: or New York or wherever. When they come here. Number One,
Speaker 2: they have money. They have discretionary money to come and
Speaker 2: watch this sporting event for a week at a time
Speaker 2: or two weeks at a time. They come, they stay
Speaker 2: at our hotels, they eat at our restaurants, they shop
Speaker 2: in our stores. They generate economic activity, and they pay
Speaker 2: a sales tax, and they pay workers. The companies that
Speaker 2: pay the workers pay an income tax if they live
Speaker 2: in a city. So that's what's generating this return to
Speaker 2: the taxpayers. And the study has been done that it
Speaker 2: looks like in the breakdown, just to refresh your memory,
Speaker 2: on one hundred and thirty million dollars that was invested
Speaker 2: in this tournament, fifty million from the state, fifty million
Speaker 2: essentially minus five million that was really in a sales
Speaker 2: tax incentive, So forty five million from Warren County and
Speaker 2: thirty five million from the City of Mason. That is
Speaker 2: the deal. Warren County. We're projecting to get that entire
Speaker 2: return of forty five million dollars like ten years based
Speaker 2: on the sales tax revenue that's coming in from this tournament.
Speaker 2: This was a good deal for the taxpayers. Now you
Speaker 2: flip it to a much larger scale. You know, forty
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars is a heck of a lot of
Speaker 2: money in Warren County. We've never done anything like that,
Speaker 2: but we've never had a global sports asset that was
Speaker 2: about to leave before. So we decided to step up
Speaker 2: to the plate and come up with a plan, and
Speaker 2: it was accepted by the billionaire who did risk his
Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to invest his
Speaker 2: free market capital here and wanted to partner with us
Speaker 2: and stay here. So there was an economic incentive for
Speaker 2: him to partner with us. But in terms of billions
Speaker 2: of dollars from the taxpayers of Warren County, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 1: Let's leave it at that. I'm picking Cocoa Golf to
Speaker 1: win it all. She won it last year, then won
Speaker 1: the US Open, and Alcatraz I think should win the
Speaker 1: Men's and away we go. But once again, Dave Young,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. You're a
Speaker 1: great American. We'll do it again and thank you very much.
Speaker 1: And Dave Young, you're a great American. Thank you.
Speaker 2: God Bless you, Willie and.
Speaker 1: God bless America. Coming up next to news and more
Speaker 1: at your home of the Reds News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: At the music, Sean McMahon back from raw last night
Speaker 1: to handle production duties here from Elder High School. Sean McMahon.
Speaker 1: Of course, you just heard it from David Young, the
Speaker 1: emperors ario of the tennis tournament Cincinnati opened, got it done.
Speaker 1: Many said it was impossible, could not occur, but it did,
Speaker 1: and thank God and thank God that he's out there.
Speaker 1: But you glean from him the idea that the comments
Speaker 1: by some and sports radio about the Bengals moving in
Speaker 1: the suburbs is not going to work. Plus in the background,
Speaker 1: I've read the previous columns about the financial situation of
Speaker 1: the stadium. It is the most generous lease ever awarded
Speaker 1: to an NFL franchise according to the so called experts.
Speaker 1: Once again, the Bengals had the taxpayers in Hamblin the
Speaker 1: county and the city over a barrel. Because number one,
Speaker 1: there might be an idea of moving the franchise like
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns are doing about twenty five miles south
Speaker 1: and own everything. That's not the standard that Mike Brown
Speaker 1: has used the guy's worth about three billion dollars. But
Speaker 1: there was a problem. According to the in caircurding the
Speaker 1: stories that many many years ago, when the grandfather of
Speaker 1: football died, Paul Brown, the legendary Paul Brown, the franchise
Speaker 1: went to Mike Brown, and then it went to John
Speaker 1: Sawyer and one of the heirs of Procter and Gamble.
Speaker 1: Then it went back to Mike Brown and the irs.
Speaker 1: I thought something was a scance. Was that transfer to
Speaker 1: defeat estate taxes? And Mike Brown took the irs to
Speaker 1: court and Mike Brown won in court saying no, it
Speaker 1: was it was an arms length transaction with John Sawyer,
Speaker 1: A P and g Air and it wasn't. It was
Speaker 1: for fair market value, and that of course angered the irs.
Speaker 1: But Mike Brown took down the irs. You know, father
Speaker 1: time is undefeated, untied, unscored on and so Mike Brown
Speaker 1: is about ninety years old now, and there'll be another
Speaker 1: transfer in his estate. I would assume that Katie and
Speaker 1: the other members of the family, Paul H. Brown, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Then the irs will where it's ugly head again and
Speaker 1: saying okay, we won forty percent of the sale. So
Speaker 1: down the road. That's a factor out in the distance,
Speaker 1: but in reality, Warren County is not scaled, nor any
Speaker 1: other county would be scaled in the tri State to
Speaker 1: step up to a billion and a half dollars of
Speaker 1: support directly and indirectly to move the Bengals to the suburbs,
Speaker 1: that means the Bengals need to stay downtown to the
Speaker 1: odds and moving to some other city. In this world,
Speaker 1: it's very slight. There's all kind of rules and regulations
Speaker 1: that would keep the Brown family from moving, the Blackburn
Speaker 1: family moving the Bengals somewhere else. They obviously could sell
Speaker 1: to Toronto or Mexico City and probably make five billion
Speaker 1: dollars a billion here and a billionaire suddenly got a
Speaker 1: lot of money to talk about. And so over the
Speaker 1: next year or two, father time, undefeated, untied, unscored on,
Speaker 1: there'll be something happening with the Bengals, and I pray
Speaker 1: to God they stay right here in Cincinnati, because it
Speaker 1: looks as if for the next five to ten years,
Speaker 1: as Brian Combs knows, there's going to be one hell
Speaker 1: of a Bengals run, and maybe there'll be a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl brought because of Joe Burrow. So we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens down the road, but here for a minimum of
Speaker 1: the next six years, they're exercise their option next year
Speaker 1: or soon to five more years. That's six years. That
Speaker 1: gets this to around twenty thirty, and by then some
Speaker 1: of these things might become clear. What happens. I think
Speaker 1: in retrospect has been a tremendous positive to have the
Speaker 1: Bengals in Cincinnati compared to what We're a major league town,
Speaker 1: but we're so small and we punch well above our weight,
Speaker 1: much like in the Olympics when men beat up women.
Speaker 1: That's a different story I may talk about. But to
Speaker 1: have the things happening in our town, such as this
Speaker 1: week the Cincinnati Open and then next week is going
Speaker 1: to be two weeks. Seventy percent who come here come
Speaker 1: from out of the Try States, so they spend money
Speaker 1: like drunken sailors on shore leave that support jobs and
Speaker 1: economic base, et cetera. And the Moneys will be given back.
Speaker 1: But no county in the Try State other than Hamilton
Speaker 1: County has the power and the prestige and the money
Speaker 1: to do things to keep the Bengals here. And the
Speaker 1: fact that Bengals put in one hundred and fifty million
Speaker 1: dollars of their own money to upgrade parts of the
Speaker 1: stadium when they didn't have to. It is an indication
Speaker 1: that Katie Blackburn Brown and Troy and Paul H. Brown,
Speaker 1: et cetera, the family is connected to keeping the keeping
Speaker 1: the Bengals in Cincinnati. And then there may be some
Speaker 1: adjustments of one type or another to pay off any
Speaker 1: possible estate tax. But that's down the road, not for
Speaker 1: you and I to concern ourselves with. It's just the
Speaker 1: reality of the way sports franchises are and the values
Speaker 1: are skyrocketing one direction, and that's up. So to have
Speaker 1: the Bengals here, to have the Reds here, to have
Speaker 1: UC football basketball, to have Xavier basketball, Dayton, to have
Speaker 1: Wright State, to have Miami all around us. You know,
Speaker 1: when I give a little talk, which I do infrequently
Speaker 1: these days, but I still do it. If you want
Speaker 1: the best college football program in history, according to Sports Illustrated,
Speaker 1: it's the Ohio State Buckeyes. And if you want the
Speaker 1: best college basketball program in history, that would be the
Speaker 1: University of Kentucky Wildcats. And if you love auto racing,
Speaker 1: there's something called the Indianapolis five hundred that's not bad.
Speaker 1: And if you like any of the arts, which I
Speaker 1: do not like ballet and symphony and opera and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, we have here, right here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: If you like soccer because of Jeff Birding and Carl
Speaker 1: Linder the third, guess what, we have Major League Soccer
Speaker 1: right here. If you like street festivals, they're every weekend everywhere.
Speaker 1: If you like the best taste of Cincinnati, it's right
Speaker 1: here Memorial Day weekend. If you like Octoberfest, the largest
Speaker 1: outside of Germany, it's right here. And if you like
Speaker 1: a good college, a good university, you got NKU Schari
Speaker 1: Paolo One, you got Xavier Hrywin, you got uc Tony
Speaker 1: Pike went there, you got Miami, you got Wright State,
Speaker 1: you got Mount Saint Joe, you have Thomas Moore. You
Speaker 1: have all that right here. And if you like good
Speaker 1: high schools, guess what between Highlands and Scott Tackett at
Speaker 1: Beechwood and Cuvekath and you go to Muller High School.
Speaker 1: Of course, deer Park as a fabulous high school led
Speaker 1: by Jay Phillips and the GCL even sand Nex doesn't
Speaker 1: do a bad job, and the Elder and Roger Bacon
Speaker 1: guess what you wanted some high school? How about East Central?
Speaker 1: Not bad? If you like Harrison Tony Moss JTM, you know,
Speaker 1: not bad. That's pretty good stuff. And we have all
Speaker 1: those things because, as I say to many Americans, and
Speaker 1: ocean is comprised of many waves, many many waves. There's
Speaker 1: large waves, medium waves, and small waves, and there's ripples,
Speaker 1: and there's tsunamis.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: I think in the tsunami waves, I think about Carl
Speaker 1: Linder and Scott Farmer, and I think about John Barrett.
Speaker 1: I think about Proctor and God, think about Fifth Third Bank,
Speaker 1: and think about the Joseph Automotive Group run so capably
Speaker 1: by George and Greg and Ron and Bobby Joseph. And
Speaker 1: I think of all the great things happening in town
Speaker 1: with Jeff Ruby steakhouse, all that stuff going on redevelopment.
Speaker 1: I think of three c DC, unbelievable stuff. They're large waves,
Speaker 1: big waves, tsunami waves that make the ocean what it is.
Speaker 1: There's medium waves. It's those who may belong to private
Speaker 1: country clubs or private groups of one type or another
Speaker 1: that participate in this great economy. There's small waves. Then
Speaker 1: there's ripples. I can think of My dear mother departed
Speaker 1: about fifteen years ago when my father deserted us when
Speaker 1: I was about twelve years old and left my mom
Speaker 1: with four young kids, incapable of supporting herself. She was
Speaker 1: a small ripple in the economic engine that drives this
Speaker 1: great country. She worked in married hotshops for twenty years
Speaker 1: and the Kenwin Mall. The first employee they hired and
Speaker 1: the last one that left and turn out the lights
Speaker 1: was Mary Ellen Cunningham. She was a small ripple, but damage.
Speaker 1: She lived her good life in great ways and participated
Speaker 1: in the economy and contribute it to the greatness of
Speaker 1: our land. Absolutely contributed. When I think of my rumpty
Speaker 1: garbage man, I love that guy. He's got three kids.
Speaker 1: I help him out when I can, leaving small little
Speaker 1: things for him, little gifts, you know, no big deal,
Speaker 1: But it's my way of saying thank you for participating
Speaker 1: in the economy, doing a tough job. When I see
Speaker 1: a server at Montgomery Inn, when I see someone at
Speaker 1: one of the great facilities in northern Kentucky, you're in
Speaker 1: by Rob Sanders, and I think about no tax on tips. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: those people are never going to make a large amount
Speaker 1: of money. They struggle. A ten dollar bill, a twenty
Speaker 1: dollars bill means a lot to them. And to have
Speaker 1: the government chase down individuals that are receiving tips, whether
Speaker 1: a uber driver or maybe a Lyft driver or some
Speaker 1: other connected to the service economy, and you get paid
Speaker 1: in cash tips, that's kind of like money you work
Speaker 1: for that make a difference. And the reason we have
Speaker 1: so many of these these credit card machines these days
Speaker 1: in which you put down your tips is the government
Speaker 1: encourages businesses to have tipped employees to use that so
Speaker 1: they can prove whether you're cheating the government out of
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars or one thousand dollars in two thousand dollars. Well,
Speaker 1: at the same time, Joe Biden, for example, and Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris go into office poor and they come out of
Speaker 1: office millionaires. Joe Biden never made more than one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty two thousand dollars a year, and then until
Speaker 1: he became the president and he's the acting president. Now
Speaker 1: he's no clue what's going on. He's making four hundred thousand,
Speaker 1: yet he's got enough money to buy multiple homes along
Speaker 1: the Atlantic Oshan, I look at Nancy Pelosi, who went
Speaker 1: into Congress worth little or nothing, now worth three hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars. How's that possible? I look up Mitch McConnell,
Speaker 1: who never made more than one hundred and seventy two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year in the Senate. That guy's worth
Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars. How's it possible? The great
Speaker 1: politicians who set the rules don't play by those It
Speaker 1: comes to others, and they use their positions of power
Speaker 1: and influence to greatly benefit themselves at our expense. But
Speaker 1: the government will hire eighty seven thousand IRS agents to
Speaker 1: go after tipped employees to make sure you're doing your part.
Speaker 1: And now Donald Trump found an issue he found exciting
Speaker 1: and write and correct. Guess what. Let's not have tax
Speaker 1: on tips. Let's not have tax on social security benefits.
Speaker 1: The great majority of Americans on Social Security aren't rich
Speaker 1: and famous. The great majority pinch their dollars and make
Speaker 1: sure they have a good life and pass on something
Speaker 1: to their kids. Well, on one hand, you have large
Speaker 1: multinational corporations and politicians and high tech giants contributing five
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars to the Democratic Party to quote get
Speaker 1: out the vote and then they're protected by the lawmakers.
Speaker 1: Wink wink, nod nod, don't audit that guy, don't go
Speaker 1: after this woman because they're donating five hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: to the Democratic Party. But then the irs are go
Speaker 1: after a tipped employee. Are you kids me? That's the
Speaker 1: way the game's played. What's good for the goose is
Speaker 1: good for the gander. And I compliment Americans that work
Speaker 1: no matter what status in life in which you find yourself.
Speaker 1: Being a truck driver is a damn hard job. Scrutinize
Speaker 1: CDLs more excessive training and independent truck drivers have one
Speaker 1: hell of a time making ends meet. Goes to the
Speaker 1: cost of petrol because of the cost of a fuel.
Speaker 1: It's difficult, it's hard. So if you work at anything,
Speaker 1: I like to encourage young Americans to be prepared for
Speaker 1: the future. Remember yesterday, but live today and enjoy what
Speaker 1: you're doing. So when I look at someone like Hunter Biden,
Speaker 1: who needed money for his drug habits and his girlfriends
Speaker 1: and his hookers to go out and sell art for
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars art put together by
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, and then the person that did that is
Speaker 1: a democratic favorite person getting an ambassadorship. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: That's the way the game is played. The rich get richer.
Speaker 1: But I want to maintain a vibrant, happy, go lucky,
Speaker 1: functioning middle class of teachers and bricklayers like Bob the bricklayer, working, hard, working, smart.
Speaker 1: I want to have electricians and plumbers. I want craft
Speaker 1: Electric to succeed. I want Crashman Electric to do great stuff.
Speaker 1: I like this small little ripples in life which ultimately
Speaker 1: can produce larger waves and maybe even a tsunami. Because
Speaker 1: when the lenders began about seventy years ago, they would
Speaker 1: pick up milk and amelia and transport it early in
Speaker 1: the morning to Norwood to sell milk United Dairy Farmers.
Speaker 1: That little simple idea formed itself into a giant corporation.
Speaker 1: That's where we are. And I had some things prepared
Speaker 1: in front of me. I haven't gotten to them. I
Speaker 1: get on a tangent, but it kind of fires me up.
Speaker 1: But when I see that Kamala Harris, who's favored from
Speaker 1: San Francisco, is now taking up the banner of no
Speaker 1: tax on tips, where the hell did that come from?
Speaker 1: Came from? Donald Trump? How about no tax on Social Security.
Speaker 1: Where did that come from? Came from Donald Trump? The butchers,
Speaker 1: the bakers, the candlestick makers. Is what make this economy works.
Speaker 1: Not the rich and famous. Without all of us pulling
Speaker 1: in the same direction, we're in trouble. I got all
Speaker 1: this stuff in front of me, I got on a tangent.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's the way I feel about this great country.
Speaker 1: That's worth's fighting for, it's worth saving, and we can
Speaker 1: have Californian values of San Francisco, a failed city state
Speaker 1: being used as a template to come to Lawrenceburg, or
Speaker 1: come to Columbus, or come to Green Township, or come
Speaker 1: to Minnesota. You picked Governor Tim Wallace. I watched this
Speaker 1: grandmother who's sixty two years old that was shut down,
Speaker 1: had her little coffee shop shut down by the governor.
Speaker 1: When she reopened against the governor's orders, she was locked
Speaker 1: up and served sixty days in jail and miss Christmas
Speaker 1: because Governor Waltz would keep open the strip clubs and
Speaker 1: the liquor stores, but not mom and pop businesses that
Speaker 1: he destroyed. Now he wants to move up the ladder
Speaker 1: and become the vice president and possibly the president of
Speaker 1: the United States. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: Not?
Speaker 1: On my watch like a warrior poet for this country,
Speaker 1: and I hope you do too. Is Donald Trump perfect? Absolutely?
Speaker 5: Not?
Speaker 1: The only person ever that was perfect was nailed to
Speaker 1: a cross. Donald Trump makes mistakes and malapropisms, and sometimes
Speaker 1: he shoots off his mouth. Pdamaous policies work. Let's continue
Speaker 1: with more. One of the policies. Kamala Harris wants to
Speaker 1: bring to you his reparations based upon skin color. My
Speaker 1: next guest, gian Carlo conna Paro is going to talk
Speaker 1: about her policies what she wants to do. Do you
Speaker 1: hear the media talk about reparations based upon skin color?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. It doesn't fit. All the news
Speaker 1: that fits their bias they print. If it doesn't fit,
Speaker 1: they don't print it. Let's continue with more. Twelve fifty
Speaker 1: six Home of Your Reds tonight with Hunter Green? Are
Speaker 1: they about to go on a ten game stretch? All
Speaker 1: a news radio seven hundred. You will then believe this
Speaker 1: little lawful can tell that way that I was bad
Speaker 1: at them all Ahad of the Bowl Ad the bole,
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, the great American. Of course, we have now
Speaker 1: the VP selection that Governor Waltz the Socialists to work
Speaker 1: with Kamala Harris to fundamentally changed the country, which was
Speaker 1: the mission that began in twenty oh seven and twenty eight.
Speaker 1: And we try over the next several weeks to inform
Speaker 1: the American people as to the policies coming their way
Speaker 1: if Kamala Harris wins the presidency, and she will assume
Speaker 1: if she wins, along with the Socialists from Minnesota, I
Speaker 1: guess what this is what you want as an American.
Speaker 1: Giancarlo Connaparo is a senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage
Speaker 1: Foundation's me Center for Legal and Judicial Studies in gian Carlo,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And the first question
Speaker 1: is this in the past, and she's never refuted this
Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris believes in reparations based I imagined upon
Speaker 1: and when you look at her history, when I go
Speaker 1: through various sources, it appears at her family, her father's
Speaker 1: family in Jamaica owned African slaves. So it gets a
Speaker 1: bit complicated. How would it work, How would Kamala Harris's
Speaker 1: support for reparations work for Black Americans? Who pays it?
Speaker 1: How much? And would it tear the American people apart.
Speaker 5: Well, these are all excellent questions which we've never got
Speaker 5: answers to from Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4: Although she does.
Speaker 5: Support it, it's not a matter of not repudiating. She
Speaker 5: has come out and endorse these proposals. At sort of
Speaker 5: a very abstract level, what she says is that some
Speaker 5: money has to be paid to black Americans for slavery
Speaker 5: and what she calls systemic racism in the system. Now
Speaker 5: what exactly that means, I don't know, But I've got
Speaker 5: a couple of questions for Kamala Harris about this right.
Speaker 5: So she says that reparations should go to black people, Well,
Speaker 5: you know, there are a lot of recent black immigrants
Speaker 5: from Africa and the West Indies. Her father is one
Speaker 5: of them. I mean, she is not a descendant of
Speaker 5: an American slave. Her father, she grew up here after
Speaker 5: the Civil Rights movement of nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 4: To recent immigrants get slavery reparations, well no, of course not.
Speaker 5: Do they get, you know, reparations for discrimination if they
Speaker 5: came here after we passed.
Speaker 4: The Civil Rights Act. That doesn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 5: But even on the slavery question, it's not nearly as
Speaker 5: clear as supporters of reparations like Kamala Harris think, because
Speaker 5: only forty one percent of Black Americans, according to Pew Research,
Speaker 5: think that their family was enslaved in America, which means that,
Speaker 5: you know, if you use black as a proxy for slavery,
Speaker 5: it's a pretty bad proxy. But while we're talking about black,
Speaker 5: just who qualifies anyway? And who decides who qualifies? Do
Speaker 5: you qualify if your family, you know, if you are
Speaker 5: only half black or one eighth maybe or one sixteenth
Speaker 5: or does the government need to start measuring the quanta
Speaker 5: of your blood like it used to do in the
Speaker 5: South during Jim Crow?
Speaker 4: Do we really want to go there?
Speaker 5: And what happens if you only identify as black but
Speaker 5: maybe you're actually white?
Speaker 4: Like Rachel Dolisol? Do you get reparations? Are you black?
Speaker 4: Is it a matter of identity like sex is?
Speaker 5: All questions that just sort of reveal the absolute absurdity
Speaker 5: of these sorts of proposals.
Speaker 4: But you know, if we're going to be serious about them,
Speaker 4: like Kamala Harris seems to be, she needs to answer
Speaker 4: these questions.
Speaker 1: Well, you bring this up, Jane Carlo, I've done ancestry
Speaker 1: dot com that kind of stuff. I'm five percent black,
Speaker 1: and Cunningham name is all over the black community, but
Speaker 1: I identify as a white, Irish Catholic American. I'm an American.
Speaker 1: Do I get five percent? If I can show? Hey,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I'm five percent black. The Cunningham name
Speaker 1: is all over the black community? Do I get five percent?
Speaker 1: And what if you were a slave owner and not
Speaker 1: a slave, For example, the family of Kamala Harrison in Jamaica,
Speaker 1: she's not the How do you do I get five
Speaker 1: percent of whatever someone else gets? And as a slave
Speaker 1: owning family, does Kamala Harris have to pay or get paid?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean, these are all all questions that have to
Speaker 5: be answered if these are going to be even you know,
Speaker 5: remotely non arbitrary.
Speaker 4: Of course, we're not getting answers to these kinds of questions.
Speaker 5: You know, you bring up a good point. I think
Speaker 5: about former President Barack Obama. His family, his ancestors were
Speaker 5: both slaves and slaveholders.
Speaker 4: You know, how do you thread that needle?
Speaker 5: Ultimately? You know, the only the only concrete proposal that
Speaker 5: I have seen for just determining how to give out
Speaker 5: these reparations monies is just to say, like what people
Speaker 5: in California have proposed, which is, we're just gonna allocate
Speaker 5: a huge lumps some money and we're going to give
Speaker 5: it to a bunch of liberal organizations that say they
Speaker 5: represent black people, and then they're just going to give
Speaker 5: out the money however they want.
Speaker 4: That, I kid you not, is the best most precise.
Speaker 5: Explanation that anybody has come up with to answer these
Speaker 5: complicated questions.
Speaker 4: And of course it's no answer at all. Right, it's
Speaker 4: just a recipe for cronyism, you know. But look, if
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 5: We laugh, But look, these are serious proposals that have
Speaker 5: a lot of weight behind them on the far left,
Speaker 5: and they will have the weight of the president behind
Speaker 5: them if Kamala Harris is elected. So we unfortunately have
Speaker 5: to take them really seriously.
Speaker 3: And early on in.
Speaker 5: This call you mentioned you asked the question, you know,
Speaker 5: is Kamala harr is going to tear the country apart
Speaker 5: over these kinds of proposals. That's the only question that
Speaker 5: I actually have good answer to the answer is, yes, there.
Speaker 4: Is nothing in America more.
Speaker 5: Certain to tear the social fabric of this country apart
Speaker 5: than a racial spoil system. And that's all these sorts
Speaker 5: of things really are.
Speaker 1: But you know, you go and let's face let's face it,
Speaker 1: she is. That's good with her because the chaos she's
Speaker 1: done on the southern border isn't affirmative action and DEI,
Speaker 1: which the left encompasses completely. And God may God bless you.
Speaker 1: If you want to call her the queen of DEI,
Speaker 1: you'll be you'll be pillared. Read But Joe Biden was
Speaker 1: the one who said he wanted to pick a black
Speaker 1: female as Vice president, And Joe Biden was the one
Speaker 1: that said he wanted to pick a black female in
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. So they practiced DEI and practice affirmative action,
Speaker 1: and then then dare you to even mention the fact
Speaker 1: that they do it, and it's your problem. But over
Speaker 1: the last fifty years, has an affirmative action and DEI
Speaker 1: been the essence of reparations?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you could certainly make that argument. The ideology
Speaker 4: is exactly the same.
Speaker 5: So the thinking goes, certain people are entitled to more
Speaker 5: because of whatever historical discrimination, even if they don't face
Speaker 5: it today, even if we've worked hard as a country
Speaker 5: to eliminate that sort of.
Speaker 4: Thing and to make it not okay.
Speaker 5: But it is a racial spoil system from top to
Speaker 5: bottom that says you certain people of a certain race
Speaker 5: are just entitled to better treatment than others. And that
Speaker 5: is toxic and that will, I mean, that will tear
Speaker 5: this country apart from top to bottom.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get into one other issue, Jian Carlo kind
Speaker 1: of paro, and that is growing up, we were told
Speaker 1: about an equal opportunity, employer, equal opportunity. That everyone now
Speaker 1: has an equal opportunity. And by the way, the Democrats
Speaker 1: were the ones of the racial spoil system. The Democrats
Speaker 1: were the party of slavery. The Democrats were the party
Speaker 1: of Jim Crow, The Democrats were the party of lynchings.
Speaker 1: The Democrat was the party of racial spoil system. That
Speaker 1: Democrats are the ones with Ku Klux Klan outfits in
Speaker 1: the nineteen twenties that marched up and down Washington DC avenues.
Speaker 1: It was the Democrats that did all this. But when
Speaker 1: I grew up, it was equal opportunity, give everyone an
Speaker 1: equal opportunity. And from that Kamala Harris, I guess claims
Speaker 1: to be black at this point, has been elected as
Speaker 1: a city prosecutor, a county prosecutor, the attorney general of California,
Speaker 1: US Senator from California, Vice President of the United States,
Speaker 1: and if the polls are right, maybe the president. How
Speaker 1: hard has it been for her to succeed magnificently in
Speaker 1: her area of study, which is politics, despite or maybe
Speaker 1: because of her color of skin. Explaining the American people
Speaker 1: the difference between equal opportunity as opposed to equity, those
Speaker 1: are different things.
Speaker 5: Explain that, Yeah, equity is the big buzzword these days.
Speaker 5: And equity means that you reach the same outcomes. It
Speaker 5: means that the government puts its thumb on the scale,
Speaker 5: it takes from some people who have a lot, gives
Speaker 5: to people who have less, that every.
Speaker 4: We run reaches the same outcome.
Speaker 5: And the basis on which the government makes those takings
Speaker 5: and givings decision is the color of your skin. That's
Speaker 5: racial equity, and that is what common here is all about.
Speaker 1: So we have a system now in which more money
Speaker 1: is spent on public education in urban areas than in
Speaker 1: most suburban areas. We have a situation now where it
Speaker 1: has been it's certainly the case among corporate America and elsewhere,
Speaker 1: colleges universities broadcasting that the color of your skin, your
Speaker 1: gender and your identity counts a whole bunch, because when
Speaker 1: we look at TV today, there are black faces and
Speaker 1: brown faces and gay faces everywhere we have equal opportunity,
Speaker 1: we have large numbers of individuals who have succeeded or
Speaker 1: not succeeded only because not because of the color of
Speaker 1: their skin, but the content of their character. And that
Speaker 1: does a look around today, and I work with black
Speaker 1: folks and Hispanic folks and gay folks and lesbian folks.
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's fine. But when the outcome is not
Speaker 1: the same. Now democrats want to say, well, after all,
Speaker 1: there's all this insipid there's all this unspoken, there's all
Speaker 1: this institutional racism that I can't prove by individual acts,
Speaker 1: but we all know it exists. So therefore, let's not
Speaker 1: only give equal opportunity, but when large numbers of individuals
Speaker 1: of color don't succeed by whatever means or method objective standards,
Speaker 1: let's make sure at the end of the day we
Speaker 1: divide up the pie and give them at the end
Speaker 1: of the day as much or more money than someone
Speaker 1: that went through the process and worked hard. When I
Speaker 1: look at the NBA, look at college football, look at
Speaker 1: high school whatever it is. I see great successes all
Speaker 1: the time from persons of color, but the equal opportunity
Speaker 1: argument is done. Why in your view, gian Carlo, what
Speaker 1: was the turning point and what was the reason we
Speaker 1: got rid of equal opportunity now we want the same results.
Speaker 1: Did that happen to in your mind? Did that come
Speaker 1: at a moment or simply we evolved into this, you know, in.
Speaker 5: A sense, it's always been around after the civil rights movement,
Speaker 5: but you really saw it explode right after we passed
Speaker 5: the Civil Rights tack in nineteen sixty four. Remember that's
Speaker 5: when they were all the riots, the black power, black
Speaker 5: panther kind of riots in inner cities. They had just
Speaker 5: won this massive legislative victory.
Speaker 4: But there had always been two civil rights movements.
Speaker 5: Right There had been Martin Luther King Junior, the old
Speaker 5: civil rights movement, who embraced, you know, equal opportunity, the
Speaker 5: content of your character, not the color of your skin.
Speaker 5: And then there were always the people like Stokely Carmichael
Speaker 5: on the other side, who hated that message and wanted
Speaker 5: the government to pick winners and losers.
Speaker 4: On the basis of race. It was anger, it was,
Speaker 4: you know, a.
Speaker 5: Sense of injustice and a sense that you know, you
Speaker 5: couldn't actually have a country where people treated each other
Speaker 5: equally without regard to skin color. That was naive, It
Speaker 5: was silly. What you really needed was power to force
Speaker 5: on people who didn't look like you so that you
Speaker 5: and people who looked like you could get ahead. And
Speaker 5: that's a really sympathetic audience. In predominantly wealthy intellectual liberals,
Speaker 5: they found that really comforting. There was a sense that
Speaker 5: the fact that nobody could ever actually behave and be
Speaker 5: color blind and free people well without regard to the
Speaker 5: coast and it gave them freedom. It absolved them of responsibility, right,
Speaker 5: So all they had to do is give a little
Speaker 5: money here, make the government solve some problems there, redistribute
Speaker 5: a little wealth here, and they could be good without
Speaker 5: actually being good. And that I think really explains it.
Speaker 5: It has just taken over liberal intellectual elite types and
Speaker 5: they're they're the ones pushing me.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: The crazy thing is, you know, if you actually go
Speaker 5: and you talk to your average black Americans and you
Speaker 5: tell them, do you think you can only get ahead
Speaker 5: in life if the government gives you a handout? There
Speaker 5: would be insulted by the suggestion you know, as they
Speaker 5: should be. I mean, it's absurd, but it comes from
Speaker 5: people like Kamala Harris who live in these intellectual bubbles.
Speaker 5: It makes them feel good about themselves. It makes them
Speaker 5: feel like they can solve thorny and complicated problems that
Speaker 5: don't beg for real easy solutions.
Speaker 4: But they have it well.
Speaker 1: The greatest population of poor people in America are white. Numerically,
Speaker 1: by far, the great majority of poor people are white.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how you have reparations unless you
Speaker 1: start with African tribes who and capture their own people
Speaker 1: and sold them. And I'm poaching from an article written
Speaker 1: by Thomas Sole about fifteen years ago, who relates that
Speaker 1: a story untold. By contrast, the number of people between
Speaker 1: eleven and twelve million slaves were taken from Africa and
Speaker 1: captured by African tribes and sold to Europeans and Arabs mainly,
Speaker 1: and we received about four percent of the total. About
Speaker 1: four percent came to America. The other ninety six percent
Speaker 1: were selt elsewhere. And the reason black survived in this
Speaker 1: country as slaves but not in South America is because
Speaker 1: despite the brutality of what happened in the southern plantations
Speaker 1: controlled a course by democrats. They were treated much better
Speaker 1: than those who went into the Amazon fours to clear
Speaker 1: out the trees, etc. They were just slaughtered. America received
Speaker 1: four percent of the slaves from Africa who were captured
Speaker 1: by African tribesmen. Can we go back to Africa and
Speaker 1: ask reparations from them for selling four percent of the
Speaker 1: slaves to Americans who were Democrats? Is that possible?
Speaker 5: Well, no, of course not. But you know what, You've
Speaker 5: hit on something interesting, which is what is it in
Speaker 5: America that is unique about slavery. It's not that we
Speaker 5: had slavery. It's not that we got our slaves from Africa.
Speaker 5: You know what's unique about America and slavery is that
Speaker 5: we ended it. We developed the philosophy, the Christian based
Speaker 5: Western philosophy that realized that Indian do human lives have
Speaker 5: value no matter the color of their skin. We went
Speaker 5: to war to end it. We sent fleets across the nation,
Speaker 5: across the world to end it. We stamped it out
Speaker 5: around the whole We're here first and around the whole world.
Speaker 5: That's what's unique about America and slavery, not that it happened.
Speaker 1: And Gian Carlo I had to point out historically that
Speaker 1: in the eighteen thirties the British Empire stopped it. In
Speaker 1: the eighteen sixties, America stopped it, but the African tribes
Speaker 1: and others, mainly the Arabs, continued the practice for centuries later.
Speaker 1: In today, the UN says today here we are in
Speaker 1: August of twenty twenty four, there's more slaves alive today
Speaker 1: than ever before. So we got into the tail end
Speaker 1: of the practice and we ended it. We stopped it
Speaker 1: will the the rest of the world. In South America
Speaker 1: and Africa and Arab countries. The word slaves come from Slavs,
Speaker 1: which are the European people enslaved by the Muslim tribes
Speaker 1: because they were attractive with blonde hair, especially the women.
Speaker 1: But slavery continued. Americas stopped it, Britain stopped it, but
Speaker 1: the African tribes and South Americans and the Arabs continued
Speaker 1: it even through today. There's more slaves alive today than
Speaker 1: ever before in human history. Jan Carlo conna Paro of
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation, I think the truth will set us free.
Speaker 1: And with the Akamala Harris types, it is a political
Speaker 1: slogan untethered to reality and Gion Carlo once again, thank
Speaker 1: you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And gian Carlo.
Speaker 1: That's a great first name. You're a great American. Jan Carlo,
Speaker 1: thank you. I'd rather have your name than Bill, but
Speaker 1: Jean Carlo, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: And possibly we'll do it again. Thank you, sir, Thank
Speaker 1: you very.
Speaker 4: Much, my pleasure.
Speaker 1: Bill, Thank you, God bless you. Let's continue. By the way,
Speaker 1: the truth will set you free. These are the facts.
Speaker 1: The facts bother you Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW Christmas.
Speaker 6: These children are not going to have them merry Christmas?
Speaker 6: How dare we speak merry Christmas? How dare we.
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas?
Speaker 7: Everyone?
Speaker 3: Hello?
Speaker 1: Quiet, and I'm I'm broadcasting saying that's your Kamala Harris.
Speaker 8: She's going to give a major speech. I guess Friday
Speaker 8: writer an economic plan right, Wow, Sean hit it again.
Speaker 8: If you love Christmas, do not vote for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6: And when we all sing happy tunes and sing Merry
Speaker 6: Christmas and wish each other merry Christmas, these children are
Speaker 6: not going to have them merry Christmas? How dare we
Speaker 6: speak merry Christmas? How dare we merry Christmas?
Speaker 8: Everyone?
Speaker 1: If you're against Santa Claus, that's it. That's it. The
Speaker 1: low information voter will determine the selection, and that concerns
Speaker 1: me greatly. Without the necessary data upon which you can care,
Speaker 1: it's an informed ballot. We're in trouble.
Speaker 8: While I heard our award winning news at twelve thirty,
Speaker 8: there willie out and about and through the Tri State.
Speaker 8: And I was sitting there and thinking, now, the UAW
Speaker 8: is suing the Trumpster right because he said yesterday that
Speaker 8: was good for I as elon musk of fire workers. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and he can't do that. Who won't work? What else
Speaker 8: is going on? Chaos?
Speaker 1: We have nothing?
Speaker 8: But and then the Middle Age, that powder keg is
Speaker 8: about ready to explode.
Speaker 1: I may talk about that. After two o'clock I spoke
Speaker 1: to a very prominent Israeli Jewish leader in the Tri State.
Speaker 1: I may relate what's going on there, but say, give

Speaker 1: Kansas City Royals. They're not very good, are they? Kind
Speaker 1: of yes, I'm sorry. And then the next week, next week,
Speaker 1: from this week from today, they'll be in Toronto. Blue
Speaker 1: Jays aren't very good. But Joey Vado is Joey Vodo
Speaker 1: off the DL. He may be back with him. So
Speaker 1: this is the end of August and Joey Vado may
Speaker 1: finally play correct. And you wanted him to play for
Speaker 1: the Reds right sign one more year? Is what you said?
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything. Well I want to blame you anyway.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, but he's now a Blue Jay and he's
Speaker 1: still hurt. What's wrong with him? Ankle and back? Matt
Speaker 1: McClain didn't play last year, like the end of August
Speaker 1: or September. What was Matt McClain's injury last year? I
Speaker 1: don't know't it didn't play? No, So this year he's
Speaker 1: ready to play. Right, dives for a ball at second base,
Speaker 1: throws out his shoulder, his left shoulder right surgery. He's
Speaker 1: out correct, getting ready to play. He then hurts a rib.
Speaker 1: Is that correct? How do you do that. I guess
Speaker 1: you'd turn the wrong way or do something. He's only
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. He had a stress reaction. What
Speaker 1: does that mean?
Speaker 8: Do you you have stress in your life? Have a
Speaker 8: stress reaction? On this show every day?

Speaker 1: I think both of us shut up. Well, the fact
Speaker 1: is mcclean's got all the ability in the world, but
Speaker 1: damn it, he's got to get on the field. Am
Speaker 1: I right or wrong about that? That's correct, He's got
Speaker 1: to get on to get back. What the hell is
Speaker 1: a stress reaction and a rib? Tom Gregory would know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Call crime check. We haven't called him
Speaker 1: in a while. Got more MRIs than RBIs, that's for sure. Stress.
Speaker 1: How do you get twenty five years old and have
Speaker 1: a stress reaction? How does Mims have a peck injury
Speaker 1: when he's twenty two? Don't ask me, Welly, I don't
Speaker 1: know everybody's heart. Are you hurt? Always?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Give me out of the students report, I can't take
Speaker 1: it anymore.
Speaker 8: Well, we say happy left Hander's Day, what everyone out there?

Speaker 1: to say such things?
Speaker 8: Segment we leave you with the immortal words of the
Speaker 8: stud report.
Speaker 1: I am a big, big fan of Bill Cunningham. The
Speaker 1: point is it was going after you segment. He's going
Speaker 1: after you, of course, which is the way it ought
Speaker 1: to be. Plus, he's in the house with Tracy Jones
Speaker 1: is here right, they're down the hall the big twenty nine.
Speaker 1: Just ask him, well, he's still pretty good. I think
Speaker 1: it is what it is. You could still play it

Speaker 1: stock market. How much do you weigh? Well high way
Speaker 1: now what Tracy would always ask, I weigh one eighty six.

Speaker 1: was good too.
Speaker 8: That doesn't help, Thank you man, That doesn't help. Thank you,
Speaker 8: McKinley morgane.
Speaker 1: That doesn't help. Say it, say it, say it, thank you,
Speaker 1: Paul Luck and McKinley mortgage. Let's continue with more. The
Speaker 1: line becomes available five, one three, seven four nine, seven
Speaker 1: thousand seg. With your permission, I may open up the
Speaker 1: telephone calls. What on a Tuesday normally a little early?
Speaker 1: Aren't you a little bit early?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: I want to hear from the American people. If the
Speaker 1: election were held today, would you vote for Donald Trump
Speaker 1: or the woman who wants to eliminate Christmas? Those are
Speaker 1: your choices. Choose, but choose wisely seven nine, seven thousand
Speaker 1: or pounds seven hundred segment. Thank you, sir. Let's continue.
Speaker 1: Whenever stop, we simply continue. Make God bless Elmer Hensler
Speaker 1: and Sean Donovan, my buddy who was with him at
Speaker 1: the moment of his passing, passing on to his reward
Speaker 1: in heaven, and right now he is serving sausage to
Speaker 1: the twelve apostles on seven hundred Wow. President Trump says
Speaker 1: once again, Paul Luck and McKinley Mortgage is more than
Speaker 1: willing to accept your calls to talk about helping you
Speaker 1: get out of your credit card debt. Plus, I want
Speaker 1: to thank again Joseph Chevrolet, Joseph Automotive, Camargo Cadillac for
Speaker 1: making the lives of the players at the tennis tournaments
Speaker 1: so easy, providing up to two hundred Cadillacs through Camargot
Speaker 1: Cadillac under the leadership of Robert Joseph, Greg Joseph and
Speaker 1: George Joseph and very community minded companies. Let's continue with
Speaker 1: more and we have thousands on hold. I want to
Speaker 1: make one quick statement then we're going to move on,
Speaker 1: and that is that the great majority of the American people,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, do not understand or get involved
Speaker 1: with or study politics at all. Great majority of the
Speaker 1: American people don't vote, and those that do vote or
Speaker 1: committed one way or another, and they don't want to
Speaker 1: hear something to conflict with what their belief system is.
Speaker 1: I'm a conservative Republican, I'm a libertarian. I tend to
Speaker 1: vote Republican, but now and then I'll vote for a
Speaker 1: good Democrat, absolutely, especially in law enforcement, like Charmaine McGuffey. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: she had her class yesterday in which she admitted a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of brand new CEOs correction officers. She works it.
Speaker 1: And I supported Democrats like Dusty Rhoades for many decades,
Speaker 1: if not years, And I also have voting for Democrat
Speaker 1: when it come to judges. I know most of the
Speaker 1: judges personally, and damn it, there's lots of good democratic judges. So,
Speaker 1: but the majority of US don't know what's going on
Speaker 1: politically and don't pay the majority of American people do
Speaker 1: not listen to talk radio. They do not peruse the
Speaker 1: various websites that I do. They don't watch cable news
Speaker 1: and the great American right here. I watch Morning Joe
Speaker 1: on MSNBC, I watch CNN, I watch News Nation, I
Speaker 1: watch Newsmax. I spend I'm a news junkyard, love it,
Speaker 1: and I spend time with that. Yes, I do that.
Speaker 1: The uh You might recall Jay Leno did those sidewalk
Speaker 1: interviews in which he would ask questions like what language
Speaker 1: they speak in Britain. The answer came back French or British,
Speaker 1: seldom English. Can you name the governor of California? Great
Speaker 1: majority of time people who know right now, Mike DeWine's
Speaker 1: been in office about six years. About half of Ohioans
Speaker 1: couldnot name the governor of Ohio. And the great majority
Speaker 1: of Ohioans cannot name their US Senator or US congressman.
Speaker 1: They don't know. They spend their good lives in simple ways.
Speaker 1: They're so turned off by politics. They can't take it anymore.
Speaker 1: So I want to go to you, the American people.
Speaker 1: We have calls from Milford, the home of the Eagles,
Speaker 1: in Green Hills, and Loveland, and by the way, tomorrow
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have on the Attorney General David Yost, who
Speaker 1: calls to be indicted the city manager of Loveland on
Speaker 1: a child trafficking charge. Unbelievable, plus a call in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: But when I did talk radio at night, it was
Speaker 1: largely driven by telephone calls from people like you. And
Speaker 1: during the day the research indication you want to hear
Speaker 1: more expert guests. But every now and then I want
Speaker 1: to go back and listen to you because in your
Speaker 1: name I broadcast, because of our great advertisers, and because
Speaker 1: of my ratings. I'm here and I'm damn proud to
Speaker 1: be here, and I want to stay here with you
Speaker 1: as long as I can. It may only be a
Speaker 1: couple more years, because you know, father time is undefeated, untied,
Speaker 1: unscored on. But when I wake up in the morning
Speaker 1: with a passion to come and speak with you, not
Speaker 1: to you or at you, but with you, and when
Speaker 1: it keeps me active politically to see what's going on,
Speaker 1: to give you information upon which you hopefully can cast
Speaker 1: an inform ballot that motivates me. Let's go to the calls. First.
Speaker 1: I have thousands on hold, and later on we have
Speaker 1: deb will be here about big brothers and big sisters.
Speaker 1: But we have Pete and Milor the Home of the Eagles,
Speaker 1: and then Jerry and Kenwood, Pete and mel for the
Speaker 1: Home of the Eagles, and Bruce Little John. Give me
Speaker 1: a full report. Pete, what is your answer to my
Speaker 1: question if the election were held today, who would you
Speaker 1: vote for? If anyone?
Speaker 3: Well, my answer is I'm not going to vote, because
Speaker 3: I've voted since nineteen seventy six. But the last election,
Speaker 3: when Donald Trump got ten million more votes than he
Speaker 3: got when he crushed Hillary Clinton, I kind of stretched
Speaker 3: my head and wondered, what the hell's going on here
Speaker 3: and found out that, you know, ten thousand votes in
Speaker 3: Georgia and thirty thousand votes in Pennsylvania. I just think
Speaker 3: the Democratic machine is too powerful and the six is
Speaker 3: on and I again, it's an honor to talk to you.
Speaker 1: Hold on, don't leave me, Pete. There are many Americans
Speaker 1: who feel exactly the way you feel. They give you
Speaker 1: some numbers and I've looked at him in the past.
Speaker 1: In the last election, Joe Biden allegedly received eighty one
Speaker 1: million votes and Donald Trump received it did receive seventy
Speaker 1: four million. So think about the number seventy four million
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump received. That is seven million more votes
Speaker 1: than Barack Hussein Obama received in either twenty eight or
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. You can recall the excitement of Barack Obama
Speaker 1: running for the presidency and he turned out Democratic voters
Speaker 1: tither and fro suburban voters, and Donald Trump out ran
Speaker 1: outcast Obama by seven million votes and still lost easily. Now,
Speaker 1: how's that possible? When Joe Biden didn't campaign, had no
Speaker 1: excitement at all. Something went on that the court system
Speaker 1: could not resolve. And I'm not so sure it's not
Speaker 1: going to happen again. But on the other hand, what
Speaker 1: do we do? What do we do? Pete? Do we
Speaker 1: sit here and just accept the inevitable? Do we fight
Speaker 1: like warrior poets for a country worthy to be what
Speaker 1: do you say?
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely not?
Speaker 10: Will we we?
Speaker 3: We've got to monitor what is going on with these
Speaker 3: voting and these drop off boxes and these trucks still
Speaker 3: have ballots, you know, in my day. I'm an old man.
Speaker 3: You went to vote. The voters were maintained there. They
Speaker 3: didn't be They were shipped around from god knows where
Speaker 3: and dropped off who knows where. We have to monitor
Speaker 3: the polls and monitor the voting, and we have to anyway.
Speaker 3: I'll leave it to you. Will you help us?
Speaker 1: Peet Peter. I am worth. This country is such a
Speaker 1: great nation. I want to pass on a country better
Speaker 1: than the one given to me by my parents. I
Speaker 1: want a good place. And I'm looking at this. When
Speaker 1: it was when we had you vote on election day
Speaker 1: and you show up at a polling place with an ID.
Speaker 1: Here I am, here's my driver's license, here's my voter
Speaker 1: I d I am a person. I'm standing in front
Speaker 1: of you. Here's my ID. I vote. It all began
Speaker 1: with thirty day to sixty day voting, in which democratic
Speaker 1: activists had time to pile in the batment, and then
Speaker 1: they create something like ballot harvesting. It used to be
Speaker 1: if Pete and Milford or Jerry and Kenwan wanted to vote,
Speaker 1: you showed up and you voted in most states. Now
Speaker 1: you have ballot harvesting, So you're gonna have a director
Speaker 1: in a nursing home with one hundred people there, sent
Speaker 1: out one hundred ballots and one person collects all the ballots,
Speaker 1: probably fills out most of them, get them signed, and
Speaker 1: then they drop him in a dropbox. That is wrong,
Speaker 1: and the Republican Party was part of that. And allowing
Speaker 1: people to vote for thirty days put me in charge.
Speaker 1: It'd be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and then Tuesday you
Speaker 1: got five days to vote, and that's it. We've got
Speaker 1: to change the idea that we don't have voter ID
Speaker 1: and that we don't have drop boxes, and that we
Speaker 1: don't have ballot harvesting. It's a person voting and I'll
Speaker 1: work to get back to that. But Democrats will never
Speaker 1: agree to that pete because the current system is benefiting
Speaker 1: them and not the nation.
Speaker 3: Well, we have to earn back the trust of the
Speaker 3: American voter. And when you have a system like that
Speaker 3: instead of you know, you get your one day jay
Speaker 3: period of service and you mail in your asseny ballot
Speaker 3: from an APO. That's one thing, but we got to
Speaker 3: get the trust back an American voter. And I've lost
Speaker 3: my trust and for the first time in six years,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to vote six.
Speaker 1: All right, Pete, thank you very much for your call.
Speaker 1: Let's move to Jerry and Kent, Jerry and ken Wood,
Speaker 1: and then Chris and Westchester and Jerry and Kenwood. I
Speaker 1: must be close to us right here. Give me a
Speaker 1: full report.
Speaker 2: Oh, how are you doing, Willie?
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, Jerry.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to say, I'm going to vote for
Speaker 2: Trump and I love him, and I'm not too happy
Speaker 2: with the wine.
Speaker 1: I think he's a rhino.
Speaker 10: And I don't know why you're friends with him.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm friends with him. I'm friends with Democrats. In
Speaker 1: other words, my friendships are not based upon politics. Hell,
Speaker 1: when I play golf at ken I go out to
Speaker 1: Sharon Woods and play once a year. I'm with a
Speaker 1: bunch of other people. I'm not going to hurt. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to hold their political viewpoints against our friendship.
Speaker 1: I've known Mike DeWine since the nineteen seventies when he
Speaker 1: was a prosecutor in Green County. I've known him. You
Speaker 1: should ask him about his Haiti dealing with trafficking. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, he's got hit an orphanage in Haiti, and
Speaker 1: at this point it's it's closed because they're killing people.
Speaker 1: But I do not base my friendships upon political equations.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it wouldn't be friends with people in our newsroom.
Speaker 1: Chris and Westchester. Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Chris,
Speaker 1: go ahead, hello.
Speaker 10: My friend. It is a greatness and an honor to
Speaker 10: speak to the great.
Speaker 1: American God bless you, and God bless Westchester, the home
Speaker 1: of the Voice of America and the Country concert.
Speaker 10: Okay, it was amazing. Now, really have you seen and
Speaker 10: you can pull up off. I'm pretty sure you too
Speaker 10: had it. They are literally they're they're lowering their standards
Speaker 10: to the point where they are literally using subliminal messaging.
Speaker 10: Now in footwear for kids, if you've seen him, the
Speaker 10: famous footwear commercial this year, We're back to school. This
Speaker 10: is the premise of the commercial. Okay. It starts out
Speaker 10: with a bunch of kids racing on these big wheels
Speaker 10: in the school yard, right and they're racing, and they're racing,
Speaker 10: and these two kids are and all of a sudden,
Speaker 10: it's down to the last two kids. And guess what
Speaker 10: they look like. One of the children are a pretty sweet,
Speaker 10: young looking African American girl, and the other boy is
Speaker 10: a white boy who's a little bit older. You can
Speaker 10: tell he's got a few more years on her. And
Speaker 10: yet they're the two that are in at the end
Speaker 10: of the race, and they're racing and racing, and all
Speaker 10: of a sudden, the the the pretty young black girl
Speaker 10: wins the race, and everybody's happy for her and this
Speaker 10: and that, and you can see the face on the
Speaker 10: older white boy is and he's got this grumb like
Speaker 10: twinty face, like Trump with me. And it's like, if
Speaker 10: you can't read the messaging in that right away, you're
Speaker 10: either blind or ignorant, or you shouldn't even think about
Speaker 10: being anywhere near a political arena because the as the
Speaker 10: messaging is so blatant. I'm like, okay, so now we're
Speaker 10: using children to try I mean, we're getting to that
Speaker 10: point that you're so desperate that you actually have to
Speaker 10: push children now to try to get the message across
Speaker 10: to their parents that you know, I mean, I know
Speaker 10: it's just a shoe commercial, but that racing kind of well,
Speaker 10: it's just it's still too too convenient for them.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Chris, I saw it in the Olympics
Speaker 1: when two biological males who had x Y chromosomes won
Speaker 1: gold medals in women's boxing. Now it's one thing for
Speaker 1: men and women to play ping pong. I guess there's
Speaker 1: table tennis. I guess the male might have an advantage
Speaker 1: over a woman. I'm not so sure, but when you're
Speaker 1: talking about boxing and two males, so the X Y
Speaker 1: chrome zones who claim to be intersex and therefore identify
Speaker 1: as female can beat the crap out of two female boxers.
Speaker 1: And I have the quote from one of them. Let
Speaker 1: me see if I got the quote here from the
Speaker 1: one boxer that had her nose broken by the male boxer.
Speaker 1: She said, I've spent my life trying to win a
Speaker 1: medal here in the in the Olympics, and I'm beaten
Speaker 1: by a man who says he's a woman who's hit
Speaker 1: harder than anyone I've ever dealt with. And so it
Speaker 1: begins in small ways with like Jim shoe commercials, and
Speaker 1: then it metastasizes into the Olympics. You go woke, you
Speaker 1: go broke, is what I say. Go woke, you go broke.
Speaker 1: And why have a political message about tennis shoes for children?
Speaker 1: Why do that? Yeah?
Speaker 10: Exactly? And then you know what, let's be honest, those
Speaker 10: two guys, they still hit like a girl because that's
Speaker 10: the only wid They're the only one taking box because
Speaker 10: they are por have got the clocks, cleeve if they
Speaker 10: went up against actual men boxers, just like the guy
Speaker 10: who couldn't swim Leah Thomas.
Speaker 1: I had Raley Gaines on and here's Raleigh Gaines at
Speaker 1: the UK. She's standing there. She's about five foot six,
Speaker 1: weighs one hundred and eighteen pounds, and a guy named
Speaker 1: Lee Thomas was beating her. Uh and then he switched sides,
Speaker 1: became Leah Thomas with x Y chromezoon six foot four
Speaker 1: and beats Riley Gaines. You got to be kidding me.
Speaker 1: And I don't know why suburban women. This is one
Speaker 1: of Rocky Boyman's themes. What about the mothers and the
Speaker 1: suburbs who often feel guilty for their success. They want
Speaker 1: to vote for liberal Democrats. Look at what's happening to
Speaker 1: your daughters and to your granddaughters. They mean to tell
Speaker 1: me that that's okay with you. The answer is no.
Speaker 1: And I know that when it comes to an issue
Speaker 1: like abortion, people ears are plugged and their eyes are
Speaker 1: have the blinders on. They don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1: I went to a governmental website Health and Human Services.
Speaker 1: They recommend that mothers, they call them people mothers, begin
Speaker 1: prenatal care between the sixth and the tenth week of pregnancy.
Speaker 1: Why would you begin pre natal care at maybe the
Speaker 1: sixth week of pregnancy if it's not a baby. One
Speaker 1: might ask the question, and you can't ask the question
Speaker 1: because you get the wrong answer and the right answer
Speaker 1: is damn it, that is a baby at six to
Speaker 1: ten weeks. You get pre natal care for a baby.
Speaker 1: You don't get pre natal care for a sister or
Speaker 1: a tumor. It's a baby. Explain that one to me.
Speaker 10: It can't be explained.
Speaker 7: I mean this.
Speaker 10: Unfortunately, in our country, stupidity runs ramping, not ignorance. Stupidity,
Speaker 10: Remember people, Ignorance is just not having the information. Stupid
Speaker 10: is having the information and choosing to ignore it.
Speaker 1: I may keep that one, Chris, say that again, because
Speaker 1: I'm stupid. I'm ignorant. I'm ignorant about a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: But damn it, I don't think I'm stupid. I'm ignorant
Speaker 1: about how to drive a truck. I'm ignorant about how
Speaker 1: to fix the TV. I'm magnorant about how to fix
Speaker 1: my COI pond, I'm ignoring about all kinds of things,
Speaker 1: but I don't think I'm stupid. A lot of people
Speaker 1: in this country. They claim that a lot of people
Speaker 1: in this country are stupid, but they're not ignorant.
Speaker 10: Oh exactly. And nine times out of tearing. Stupidity is,
Speaker 10: you know, the after birth of ignorance. It's just that simple.
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, but you know, here's here's a good example.
Speaker 10: Ignorant is picking up a gun and not knowing what
Speaker 10: it does, and pulling a trigger and being surprised. Stupid
Speaker 10: is knowing what that gun does, pilling up, pulling a
Speaker 10: trigger and being surprised. There you go.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your call. And one last thing before
Speaker 1: we move on, Chris, is that right now knives are
Speaker 1: being used all over Europe to kill the swifties, kill
Speaker 1: little girls. I would anticipate soon England's gonna have knife control,
Speaker 1: maybe a three day waiting period to get a knife.
Speaker 1: And before you buy a knife, only so many knives
Speaker 1: you can buy. You can't buy so many knives. Thank god,
Speaker 1: in this country we have the Second Amendment. Thank you
Speaker 1: for your call. Wonderful. Let's take a short break and
Speaker 1: if the line ever becomes available, which she never does
Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand, with your permission,
Speaker 1: I do this because of you, and I do this
Speaker 1: because of my great advertisers who pay the bills that
Speaker 1: keeps me on the air listening and you watching, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to do more over the objections of
Speaker 1: my producer. I'm going to Sean McMahon and Dave. I
Speaker 1: may take more telephone calls because that last call in
Speaker 1: the first call were significant. So many Americans are turned
Speaker 1: off by the political system that they think is rigged,
Speaker 1: that they don't want to participate in a fraud. I'll
Speaker 1: say this to my friend in Milford, Ohio has a
Speaker 1: functioning voting system because of many, many secretaries of state
Speaker 1: in Ohio. We don't have ballot harvesting in Ohio. We
Speaker 1: don't have unattended drop boxes. In Ohio. We have voter idea,
Speaker 1: you got to prove who you are. Well, we don't
Speaker 1: have We don't have Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana. Are functional participate
Speaker 1: in a functioning democracy, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana. Dammit, we have
Speaker 1: a functioning democracy. So vote two twenty six Home reds Tonight, Hunter, Green,

Speaker 11: your zamroom, freedom to tell your kids what they can read.
Speaker 11: That stuff is weird. They come across weird. They seem
Speaker 11: obsessed with this.

Speaker 1: why Is that a democratic talking point?
Speaker 12: I mean, you can call Trump and jd Vance aggressive
Speaker 12: and and you know angry, you not. But but weird
Speaker 12: is it doesn't fit. Weird is when you think a
Speaker 12: man should compete in women's him. That's weird, that's him.
Speaker 12: Whoever you are weird backers, weird, that's Atlantic, that's stupid.

Speaker 1: small businesses and one of them went to jail for
Speaker 1: ninety days, and he kept opening strip clubs, big box retailers,

Speaker 1: Who we can't have that? Well, let's find out simple.
Speaker 1: I want simple policies that people, all of us, but
Speaker 1: none of us, should be stupid. You got that saying
Speaker 1: speak for yourself on seven hundred WLW. Now would you
Speaker 1: really be known as dev hass or missus Eddie Fingers
Speaker 1: or missus Eddie Johnson. Which one would you like?
Speaker 7: Doug john Go, I want to just hyphenate missus deb
Speaker 7: has fingers.
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound accurate. It sounds like I'm almost rated R.
Speaker 1: So we won't deal with that. But uh uh, Big
Speaker 1: Brothers Big Sisters, get that out of your mind. Big
Speaker 1: event coming up? Tell first of all, tell Tony Bender
Speaker 1: what does Big Brothers Big Sisters do? And one is
Speaker 1: the big event coming up to help?
Speaker 7: So okay, I'll start, so they just everybody get right now,
Speaker 7: just kind of mark your calendars for Friday, October eleventh,
Speaker 7: and we'll come back to that. But so Big Brother's
Speaker 7: Big Sisters We've been around for over one hundred years
Speaker 7: and basically what we do is to help kids reach
Speaker 7: their full potential. So we match kids in the community
Speaker 7: with a mentor a positive adult role model, just just
Speaker 7: somebody who can show them you know, you're somebody who
Speaker 7: cares about them that that doesn't have to and U
Speaker 7: and when you know, in our in our community based programs, Bill,
Speaker 7: when you become a big brother, you'll go and pick
Speaker 7: your little brother up from his house maybe on a
Speaker 7: Saturday afternoon and just go out and you know, you
Speaker 7: can run some errands, you can stop at a park,
Speaker 7: you can take into the radio station just talk about
Speaker 7: you know, just talk about life and talk about school
Speaker 7: and what the potential is for the future and those
Speaker 7: sorts of things. And we also have a site based program,
Speaker 7: which is when I see my little sister, I go
Speaker 7: to her school in Newport and to see her once
Speaker 7: a week during lunch and three have programs like that
Speaker 7: as well. So we work really hard to make it
Speaker 7: work for the volunteers. And I just hope people understand
Speaker 7: the difference that just showing up being consistent to a child,
Speaker 7: it means the world to them. The kids are facing
Speaker 7: some challenges or they you know, wouldn't be with us,
Speaker 7: but these are are really good kids whose parent or
Speaker 7: guardian realizes that you know, another person in their life
Speaker 7: can can make a huge difference.
Speaker 1: So what are the ages of the children?
Speaker 7: Generally, typically whenever we matched them, it's about seven to
Speaker 7: about fourteen or a few exceptions on those ages, but
Speaker 7: that that's typically where they are. And then we ask
Speaker 7: people to say that they'll stick with it for a
Speaker 7: year for you know, in our site based programs that's
Speaker 7: weekly during the school year, and the community based that's
Speaker 7: you know, two to three times a month just to
Speaker 7: just again maintain that consistency. And and so the year
Speaker 7: is again if you move where everybody understands that things
Speaker 7: like that happen. But but we like to start off
Speaker 7: with that because that really starts with a position of
Speaker 7: strength so that the kids don't kind of have a disappointment.
Speaker 7: But if you if you feel like you can do
Speaker 7: it for a year, and then what we find is
Speaker 7: that rarely do they end after a year. Once folks
Speaker 7: are doing it and get to know the kids and
Speaker 7: they just really stick with it, and it's it's just
Speaker 7: amazing to see the different and sit the snakes to
Speaker 7: these kids. I've been with the agency for over sixteen years,
Speaker 7: and I am I love I love May because that's
Speaker 7: when a lot of the kids graduate. And these are
Speaker 7: kids who's been in the program and a lot of
Speaker 7: them since I've been here, and you just can't believe
Speaker 7: the number of them that are the first in their
Speaker 7: families to graduate high school and then to come up
Speaker 7: with some post secondary education plan, whether it's college, the military,
Speaker 7: a job that they've got because they're big brother or
Speaker 7: sister kind of pointing them and help points them in
Speaker 7: a direction and then they just they just succeed And
Speaker 7: it is amazing to watch this happen time after time,
Speaker 7: kid after kids and deb hash.
Speaker 1: You're looking for adults, men and women that are willing
Speaker 1: to time commitment. It might be as little as three
Speaker 1: to four hours a week or a little bit more,
Speaker 1: and it's not a big time commitment. And if you've
Speaker 1: tried for six months or a year and don't like it,
Speaker 1: there's no requirement you continue. But I know from big
Speaker 1: Brothers big sisters that once you begin with a child,
Speaker 1: a boy or a girl that's seven, eight, nine, ten
Speaker 1: years old, you develop a relationship, you play golf or
Speaker 1: play pickleball, to do something else that becomes part of
Speaker 1: your life. And so what is the phone number if
Speaker 1: adults have some free time that they can.
Speaker 7: Call, well, better better than that, really, bill is? I
Speaker 7: would suggest that they go to our website because there's
Speaker 7: so much information on there that they can't it's just
Speaker 7: Bigs for Kids and you for this for so Big
Speaker 7: for Kids dot org because I think a lot of

Speaker 7: that time commitment and what are you know? Because we
Speaker 7: serve thirteen counties within our Greater Cincinnati service area in Ohio, Indiana,
Speaker 7: and northern Kentucky. So we have we have kids waiting,
Speaker 7: you know.

Speaker 7: that they can apply online to be a big as
Speaker 7: well if they just want to push right through.
Speaker 2: And get started.
Speaker 7: Because again I appreciate your words because you're absolutely right
Speaker 7: that you have can have an impact. I rely, I
Speaker 7: had a little sister and I own. She was only
Speaker 7: with me in the site based program for one year
Speaker 7: and she was in first grade, and she moved away,
Speaker 7: and then she got back in touch with me when
Speaker 7: she was in high school, and I was on the
Speaker 7: phone with her and her mom, and she told me
Speaker 7: that I'm going to start to get too, But she
Speaker 7: told me that the things that I taught her in
Speaker 7: first grade, because she was really an angry, angry little girl,
Speaker 7: and understandably so with her life experience. But she told
Speaker 7: me that every time she starts to get angry about something,
Speaker 7: she just takes a breath and thinks about how to
Speaker 7: best react. That has the best impact on her. And
Speaker 7: that was from first grade. And when she was in
Speaker 7: high school she called me to crying telling me that
Speaker 7: she couldn't wait to graduate from high school and go
Speaker 7: to nursing school.
