Speaker 1: My Monday afternoon in the Tri State. Welcome again at
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. Reds Baseball kicks off first pitch
Speaker 1: about six forty air time, about five forty tonight. As
Speaker 1: you may know, the Reds beat up on the Baltimore
Speaker 1: Orioles big time. Twenty forty to two. That's right, twenty
Speaker 1: four to two. They allowed us safety. That's all they allowed,
Speaker 1: as Baltimore went down hard than out back to five hundred.
Speaker 1: See what happens tonight in Miami. Three in Miami, then
Speaker 1: three in Colorado, and away we go. But this morning
Speaker 1: I had the very sad news the passing of Pope.
Speaker 1: The Pope has died and Francis is now in heaven.
Speaker 1: We got almighty we anticipate. And then he took over
Speaker 1: from Benedict who resigned in twenty thirteen. So Francis has
Speaker 1: been the Pope for about twelve years or so. And
Speaker 1: joining you and I now is Michael McDonald of the
Speaker 1: Catholic League in New York City. And Michael McDonald, welcome
Speaker 1: again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all,
Speaker 1: give me your reaction on his passing earlier today.
Speaker 2: Hey, Bill Cunningham, great to be with you as always. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is really sad news. You know, whenever holy man,
Speaker 2: especially as someone high ranking as Pope Francis, has died,
Speaker 2: as a moment for prayers and reflection, not only for
Speaker 2: the repose of his soul, but also for where the
Speaker 2: church goes from here. And just keep praying that the
Speaker 2: Holy ghost guides the cardinals to make the right decision
Speaker 2: in the coming weeks for the successor.
Speaker 3: I've seen the movie Conclave.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's going to go that way, but nonetheless,
Speaker 1: I watched Cardinal Dolan this morning who said that if
Speaker 1: one head of fashion his own demise, it would have
Speaker 1: been the way that this pope went out, Francis by
Speaker 1: having one last lap in the popemobile around Vatican Square
Speaker 1: and saying goodbye. I mean, he looked good enough to live,
Speaker 1: but we don't know the circumstances of death. No autopsies
Speaker 1: are ever performed, so we anticipate it was a respiratory failure.
Speaker 3: Give me the legacy.
Speaker 1: Looking back, the last thirty or forty years had Jeohn
Speaker 1: Paul the Second, with John Paul the First who was
Speaker 1: in office about a month, and John Paul the Second.
Speaker 1: Then it went to Benedict the German. And this was
Speaker 1: historical because Berglio from Rendzsaurus was perceived as a liberal.
Speaker 1: He was perceived they're going to change things, and he
Speaker 1: put his own imprint on the papacy. Many liberals thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's going to reprove the same sex marriage, or women
Speaker 1: can be priest, or priest can marry. A lot of
Speaker 1: those things did not happen. But I know many conservative
Speaker 1: Catholics who were not happy with his rule, and many
Speaker 1: liberals at times were not happy either. Did he live
Speaker 1: out when he was selected about twelve years ago in
Speaker 1: March at twenty thirteen, And if somebody could have looked
Speaker 1: over the last the next twelve years of his papacy
Speaker 1: in a way, did he anger both sides? Did he
Speaker 1: anger a little bit liberals and conservatives both?
Speaker 2: You know, Bill, I think that's actually probably the right
Speaker 2: take here, Pote Francis. For all the glowing reviews he
Speaker 2: got in the media, he did kind of struggle a
Speaker 2: little bit with both sort of wings of the Catholic Church,
Speaker 2: the more liberal, reform minded, very pro Vatican Two. Even
Speaker 2: the people that think Vatican Two didn't go far enough.
Speaker 2: They wanted to see obviously wanted to see more out
Speaker 2: of Pope Francis's tenure in the chair of Saint Peter.
Speaker 2: And then again on the more traditional side of things,
Speaker 2: he was not the most vocal champion of traditional morals.
Speaker 2: He pretty much just canceled the Latin mass across the church,
Speaker 2: kind of seemed to be butting heads a lot with
Speaker 2: the American cardinals, the American bishops, and some of he had,
Speaker 2: you know, again getting into the weeds a little bit
Speaker 2: on some of these reforms. Definitely did try to centralize
Speaker 2: power in himself and the Vatican really trying to move
Speaker 2: the ball, but the institution of the Church itself, it
Speaker 2: just kind of seemed to be a bit of a
Speaker 2: bridge too far to get a lot of these more
Speaker 2: reformist goals initiated. So yeah, it does sort of seem
Speaker 2: to be a bit of a checkered past. Probably didn't
Speaker 2: do enough from one side of the equation, probably did
Speaker 2: too much from the other side, but sort of left
Speaker 2: things somewhere in the middle, and now the Vatican's going
Speaker 2: to have to pick up the pieces and try and
Speaker 2: figure out which direction are we going to continue in
Speaker 2: sort of the mold of Francis and try and move
Speaker 2: things more in the direction of reform, or are we
Speaker 2: going to go with someone like Saint John Paul, the
Speaker 2: second Pope Benedict the sixteenth, who were much more of
Speaker 2: the traditionalist school of thought.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question where we go from here.
Speaker 1: There was a hope by some that he would approve
Speaker 1: a priest to marry, which isn't a new concept, as
Speaker 1: Tony Bender knows, for the first one thousand years of
Speaker 1: our existence. But priest did marry and so that wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been a big deal. But women as priest that
Speaker 1: would be a much different situation. He also reached out
Speaker 1: to gay individuals who said that you are part of
Speaker 1: this church, which was a concern to some. He did
Speaker 1: not get into the transgender debate much about males and females,
Speaker 1: but just on the idea that priest can marry. Can
Speaker 1: you tell us why that would not be so revolutionary?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, as you pointed out, that there was
Speaker 2: a reform in the Middle Ages to put a stop
Speaker 2: to that, and at the time, the reasoning was that
Speaker 2: the church was losing control of the parishes themselves. The
Speaker 2: families were taking control of them and leaving it to
Speaker 2: their sons to continue running the church. So yeah, personally,
Speaker 2: I think that was probably the right thing to do
Speaker 2: at the time and probably something we should keep on
Speaker 2: the books for now. But just a real quick bill
Speaker 2: on the subject of transgenderismo. Francis actually was a little
Speaker 2: bit more vocal on the US at times, very very confusing,
Speaker 2: because the only stories that you really see about Pope
Speaker 2: Francis and the transgender question was he had a bunch
Speaker 2: of them over for dinner one night or breakfast in
Speaker 2: the Vatican, whatever it was. But in the past he's
Speaker 2: called it demonic, he has called the transgenderism a form
Speaker 2: of ideological colonization, and he has been a little bit
Speaker 2: more forcefullness. Just the left wing media was doing a
Speaker 2: lot to prop up their man and try and present
Speaker 2: him as the loving guy that was just really caring
Speaker 2: about poor people and was worried about climate change. But
Speaker 2: there are some things that traditionalists would actually appreciate about
Speaker 2: Pope Francis. But again, he was very prone to speaking
Speaker 2: off the cuff, very prone to just you know, suffering
Speaker 2: from jet lag, getting on the Vatican plane and saying
Speaker 2: and here's how I really feel about things, and not
Speaker 2: actually thinking through everything, which obviously created a lot of
Speaker 2: headaches for people working in the church.
Speaker 1: You know, one thing I've noticed sixty minutes even to
Speaker 1: the story on this about a year ago, the renaissance
Speaker 1: of Christianity, especially among the young. And they return to
Speaker 1: shall I say to the faith and that young people
Speaker 1: in the last election, this is certainly probably Trump's behavior
Speaker 1: is not the Pope's a favorite. But nonetheless there was
Speaker 1: a renaissance of the young turning toward more conservative values,
Speaker 1: which is why Trump was elected president. And now there's
Speaker 1: a renaissance of Christianity among colleges. There was this plaintive
Speaker 1: crime in Kentucky, Missouri elsewhere that colleges have a large
Speaker 1: group of practicing evangelistic Christians and or Roman Catholics, which
Speaker 1: I haven't seen before. I go to a little Catholic
Speaker 1: church here in Cincinnati called Saint Gertrude's and an Easter vigil.
Speaker 1: Penny and I had to get there at eight thirty
Speaker 1: to get a seat, and the proceedings to not begin
Speaker 1: to after nine pm Saturday night, and we were there
Speaker 1: until midnight, three hours, and there was young and old,
Speaker 1: and it was just a fabulous service put on by
Speaker 1: the Dominicans. It was wonderful, and I spoke to a
Speaker 1: couple of the priests thereafter. It was late, it was
Speaker 1: early in the morning in fact, But nonetheless there's a
Speaker 1: sense that Christian and Catholic schools are doing quite well.
Speaker 1: Have you sense some the Catholic Lake in New York City,
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald, a return to traditional values that we didn't
Speaker 1: think would happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, And there is a very interesting
Speaker 2: point on that. It does seem to be particularly the
Speaker 2: within the Catholic Church, the more traditional minded orders of nuns,
Speaker 2: the brothers, parishes, dioceses, they seem to be the ones
Speaker 2: that are doing the best in terms of preserving the
Speaker 2: faith and bringing in new people, growing the community. We
Speaker 2: actually did a report on this on Catholic League dot
Speaker 2: org probably about two years ago, comparing the Church in
Speaker 2: Germany and the Church in Nigeria. Church in Germany obviously
Speaker 2: very rich, richest diocese in the world. Church in Nigeria
Speaker 2: very poor. They're they're constantly being attacked by Muslim extremists,
Speaker 2: very hard times, but the Church in Nigeria is flourishing.
Speaker 2: The Church in Germany is dying off, and the Nigerians
Speaker 2: are very quick to hold two traditional values, whereas the
Speaker 2: Germans are you ready to jettisen in them for the
Speaker 2: next new thing. So that does seem to be a trend.
Speaker 2: And even in the Christian community more broadly, even though
Speaker 2: within the evangelical circles, the more traditionally minded evangelical pastors,
Speaker 2: their churches are the ones that are growing that they
Speaker 2: are actually the ones with the young families in them.
Speaker 2: Whereas you look at the mainline Protestants like the Episcopalians,
Speaker 2: you got a bunch of white haired people that are
Speaker 2: you know, just sitting in God's waiting room. The churches
Speaker 2: are slowly dying, very very sad deaths, and so there
Speaker 2: there is something to this. And you know, the return
Speaker 2: of Trump to the White House definitely that more traditional
Speaker 2: mind is attitude, particularly young people reverting to their faith
Speaker 2: going back in greater numbers. This is definitely going to
Speaker 2: have a massive impact on society moving forward. It's unfortunate
Speaker 2: that Pope Francis was kind of the urch nemesis within
Speaker 2: the Catholic Church anyway, of the more traditional stuff. You's
Speaker 2: vehemently opposed to Latin Mass and things of that nature.
Speaker 2: So a lot of these things kind of seem to
Speaker 2: happen in spite of Pope Francis's leadership.
Speaker 1: And one thing is next well, one thing in the
Speaker 1: media there is the obliteration of Christianity and Catholics buried alive, tortured.
Speaker 1: The Muslim attacks on Catholics happening all over Africa is
Speaker 1: not well reported. You've seen some of the videos. I've
Speaker 1: seen some of the videos. People are being killed because
Speaker 1: of their faith. That would never happen in Germany. It
Speaker 1: would never happen in France. And in fact, most of
Speaker 1: the churches and cathedrals in France are like tourist attractions.
Speaker 1: They're not real churches, even Notre Dame Cathedral as a
Speaker 1: tourist attraction because the practice is almost non existent. Now, lastly,
Speaker 1: before I let you go, Mike McDonald of the Catholic League.
Speaker 3: Who's the next Pope?
Speaker 1: I saw the movie Conclave and they selected someone that,
Speaker 1: shall we say, an amorphi dite or something like that
Speaker 1: from Afghanistan?
Speaker 3: Do you see that happening?
Speaker 1: That We're going to have some conclave in about two
Speaker 1: weeks and there's going to be two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: two cardinals, but only one hundred and thirty eight or
Speaker 1: electors one hundred and thirty eight or so, they're going
Speaker 1: to be in the Sistine Chapel. And what's the early
Speaker 1: pick for the Pope.
Speaker 2: H s bill? Your guest is as good as mine
Speaker 2: just looking around at how it went last time with
Speaker 2: the election of Pope Francis. Even Patty Power, the famous
Speaker 2: gambling website, they didn't even give outs on They didn't
Speaker 2: give odds on fantas. As we know from writing the elections,
Speaker 2: typically the gamblers tend to predict the outcome much more
Speaker 2: accurately than the pollsters do, and so they couldn't get it.
Speaker 2: So this is really down to the guidance of the
Speaker 2: Holy Ghost here. Looking at even last time, just looking
Speaker 2: at the headlines, I found one mention of Pope Francis
Speaker 2: Cardinal Bogoglio in anything, and I think it was the
Speaker 2: Guardian said, you know, he came in second to Pope
Speaker 2: Benedict the sixteenth, so he's probably not going to do
Speaker 2: anything in this time, Clay. But next thing, you know,
Speaker 2: he's the elected guy. But yes, I'm fairly certain that
Speaker 2: it's not going to have a surprise twist at the
Speaker 2: ending with some hermaphrodite getting elected and like they did,
Speaker 2: in Hollywood and now that that was just a bizarre
Speaker 2: They just were ripping on us.
Speaker 3: Bizarre.
Speaker 1: I'm watching this, I'm thinking the political training at Satura.
Speaker 1: Of course, the websites are out with some of the
Speaker 1: names being mentioned. There's no chance I would assume a
Speaker 1: Cardinal Dolwan getting the gig.
Speaker 3: Is that correct?
Speaker 2: You know? I don't think so. I mean, most people
Speaker 2: don't know this, but at the age of seventy five,
Speaker 2: the bishops are supposed to send in their letter of resignation,
Speaker 2: and Cardinal Dolan just turned seventy five in February, so
Speaker 2: it's probably probably a little too old, which is unfortunately.
Speaker 2: He did a lot of good things here in New
Speaker 2: York and we're lucky that we still have him. Hopefully
Speaker 2: we keep him a little bit longer, but it would
Speaker 2: be great to get an American hope in there, but
Speaker 2: probably I don't think it's in the cards this time.
Speaker 1: The media likes Cardinal or Robert Sarah. He's seventy nine
Speaker 1: years old, is a former Vatican official from Guinea. He's
Speaker 1: an African, he's black, and that's the favorite of the
Speaker 1: mainstream media. And if it's someone other than Italian or European.
Speaker 1: That would be a big surprise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that'd be very interesting, and it is
Speaker 2: kind of odd to see Sarah's name getting floating around that.
Speaker 2: I mean, he is older than Dolwan, and I know
Speaker 2: that is something that they're going to be taken into consideration.
Speaker 2: But he's also very strong on the social issues, very
Speaker 2: forceful on the moral teachings of the church. So definitely
Speaker 2: not some that the mainstream media would like. I mean,
Speaker 2: they'll probably do the same thing, downplay that as much
Speaker 2: as possible anytime that Pope Francis. I mean, we can't
Speaker 2: even say. Some of the things that Pope Francis said
Speaker 2: about homosexuals in the church on radio, he would rip
Speaker 2: into them, but you would never hear a word about
Speaker 2: that in the mainstream media because he you know, he
Speaker 2: was there to fight global warming and do nice outreach
Speaker 2: to the homosexuals, and he really cared about poor people.
Speaker 2: Never Mind, he never said anything about moral teaching, and
Speaker 2: he did, to his credit, he did say some things
Speaker 2: a little convoluted, could have been a little bit clear,
Speaker 2: a little bit more forceful, But you know, the media
Speaker 2: just completely ignored those issues because they had a narrative
Speaker 2: that needed protecting at all costs, and unfortunately some of
Speaker 2: the good things that Pope Francis did kind of did
Speaker 2: get lost in that narrative. We'll see they'll probably try
Speaker 2: and do the same thing with Sarah, but he's actually
Speaker 2: much more of a traditional mindset. He is one of
Speaker 2: the great ap African prelates, and it's good the cardinals
Speaker 2: should give a lot of credence to the great things
Speaker 2: that the Church in Africa has done. As you were
Speaker 2: mentioning that they're besieged by Islamic extremists and yet somehow
Speaker 2: their communities are still flourishing when martyrdom is generally the
Speaker 2: price that people do have to pay to be a
Speaker 2: Christian in Africa, So that's they're doing the Lord's work
Speaker 2: there and maybe we do need someone with that sort
Speaker 2: of mindset back in the Vatican, kind of taking us
Speaker 2: back to the older days when Christians were thrown into
Speaker 2: the lions den eating alive.
Speaker 1: And Cardinal Sarah has been called the Clarence Thomas of
Speaker 1: the papacy, So I don't imagine the Liberals have much
Speaker 1: to do with Clarence Thomas, and that's Cardinal Sarah.
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens JD.
Speaker 1: Vance, who goes to my church by the way, Saint
Speaker 1: Gertrud's and Madeira. We saw the pope that day or
Speaker 1: two before he died, and that some have remarked that
Speaker 1: maybe Donald Trump is going to take over the papacy
Speaker 1: and appoint JD.
Speaker 3: Vance. Can we say, can we say that that's a
Speaker 3: long shot? Draft Kings, I.
Speaker 2: Think that's but I think that one's a bit of
Speaker 2: a long shot. But you know, we live in a
Speaker 2: strange times, so you don't have to be.
Speaker 3: A priest to be you might have to be a
Speaker 3: priest to be the pope, right, anybody could be the pope?
Speaker 3: So why why this was?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was actually one of the things that I forget,
Speaker 2: which vasking counsel. They had to tighten this up. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it used to pretty much be just whoever it was
Speaker 2: from the wealthiest noble family in Rome could get their
Speaker 2: offspring elected, male offspring elected to the papers. Here again
Speaker 2: another great reform that the Catholics did back in the
Speaker 2: day to really make sure that we're adhering to the
Speaker 2: actual word of God.
Speaker 1: So we'd bet against it, but you know, otter things
Speaker 1: have happened. But we'll see what occurs. But once again,
Speaker 1: Michael McDonald, there's going to be several days of morning,
Speaker 1: nine days, and then the conclave gets together, called by
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State, so to speak, of the Vatican,
Speaker 1: and maybe in two or three weeks we'll have white
Speaker 1: smoke and not black.
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: And Mychael McDonald of the Catholic League, once again, thank
Speaker 1: you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 3: Mike, you're a great American.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Bill, You're a great American as well.
Speaker 3: God bless you.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more kind of broke up Michael McDonald
Speaker 1: there with Trump taking over the Vatican and apporting JD Vance,
Speaker 1: it's possible, it's possible. Keep hope alive on News Radio
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW Noll right, Billy Cunningham, the Great America.
Speaker 1: And of course today's the Easter egg roll in the
Speaker 1: White House, and we have coming up after one o'clock today,
Speaker 1: Scott Powell about the significance of Easter et cetera. Also
Speaker 1: the death of Pope Francis earlier today, plus what's happening
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati's a concern locally of great concern to you
Speaker 1: and me and other Great Americans. Ken Coober, head of
Speaker 1: the FOP, was on with Scott Sloan this morning talking
Speaker 1: about the regular circumstances that happen at the banks after
Speaker 1: dark and Dave, with your permission, hit it.
Speaker 4: You go down there midnight, one o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 4: and you'll see the people that are there that are
Speaker 4: just knowing around waiting to find the victim. You're not
Speaker 4: seeing people going you know, the criminal element art, you know,
Speaker 4: going in and out of bars.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 4: They're not going to restaurants. They just hang out there,
Speaker 4: smoke weed and wait for their next victim.
Speaker 3: Kind of sad.
Speaker 1: And when I read the story about what happened Saturday
Speaker 1: night and Cincinnati Police Lieutenant Jonathan Cunningham, I mighty had
Speaker 1: not related to me. Happened about ten thirty pm Saturday night,
Speaker 1: and the victim, identified as Andre Harris, spoke about the incident.
Speaker 1: He said that he arrived at the bank Saturday night
Speaker 1: after going to a concert and left his wallet inside
Speaker 1: the Cornerstone Market earlier that night, around the corner from
Speaker 1: Ruth's christ and after achieving it, retrieving his wallet from
Speaker 1: the market and leaving the store, a man with a
Speaker 1: face mask approached him and quickly raised a gun, pointing
Speaker 1: it directly at Harris, and at that point Harris said
Speaker 1: he the shooter fired first. Harris said he thought the
Speaker 1: gunman fired two shots, but police said witnesses claimed the
Speaker 1: gunman had fired four times, likely semi automatic, and the
Speaker 1: casings are on the ground. Harris said he was shot
Speaker 1: once in the foot and that was part of the
Speaker 1: bullets still there. Surveillance villea video shared by the owner
Speaker 1: of the corner the market shows that Harris running away
Speaker 1: after three shots rang out. Harris can be seen with
Speaker 1: his gun. The victim had a gun in his hand,
Speaker 1: and cops arrived and I'm looking at the police right now.
Speaker 1: They're hearing shots fired. It's right there. Police are everywhere,
Speaker 1: and the thinking that Harris was the perpetrator, which one
Speaker 1: would reasonably assume that's the case, ordered him to drop
Speaker 1: to his knees, release the weapon, and his get on
Speaker 1: the ground.
Speaker 3: Harris.
Speaker 1: The victim, Andre Harris, quickly complied, telling police I've been shot.
Speaker 1: He explained to them that he can't remember what the
Speaker 1: gunman looked like. He was wearing a mask, and Harris says,
Speaker 1: I hope it's a case of mistaken identity. I have
Speaker 1: no reason to feeling anyone would target me. I had
Speaker 1: not one clue why someone will would want to shoot me.
Speaker 1: The owner of the corner market told police that at
Speaker 1: the time the police were standing several yards away when
Speaker 1: the shooting took place. They locked down the banks and
Speaker 1: areas close to those stores for numerous hours. Is to
Speaker 1: try to find out who did it, and at this point,
Speaker 1: as of what twelve forty two today, no one's been
Speaker 1: apprehended of. More troublesome is that Ken Kober, who knows
Speaker 1: where the bodies are buried, representing some one thousand cops
Speaker 1: say this is a common event, it's normal, it's average,
Speaker 1: it's not unusual, and he said it gets very dangerous
Speaker 1: at the banks when sundown, hundreds hang out smoking weed
Speaker 1: and doing other things. Looking According to ken Kober, the
Speaker 1: policeman for his next victim, who will be the next victim.
Speaker 1: This comes on top of many other incidents, including a
Speaker 1: short vine. You may recall we had this on We
Speaker 1: discussed this last week with ken Kober and others. There
Speaker 1: was a man named Kyle Merrick who was simply standing
Speaker 1: outside of a bar in the evening time looking at
Speaker 1: his phone and a fifteen year old whose name can't
Speaker 1: be released, I guess we have to protect his innocence,
Speaker 1: came up to him stuck a gun in his belly,
Speaker 1: and Kyle Merrick, the victim, responded by pushing him off,
Speaker 1: pushing him away and grabbing for his own weapon, which
Speaker 1: he had legally carried. Shots were exchanged. Kyle Merrick was
Speaker 1: hit two or three times, may have on the county
Speaker 1: corner later on to discuss it, and he was able
Speaker 1: to get several shots off and hit the fifteen year old.
Speaker 1: This is a kid that should be a freshman in
Speaker 1: high school. Kyle Merrick is twenty five years old. He
Speaker 1: was transported to UC Medical where he died and the teen,
Speaker 1: the so called teen, has been shot at least seven times.
Speaker 1: The teen eventually had been taken out of the courtroom
Speaker 1: for proceedings because he was in such pain. And according
Speaker 1: to Ken Coober Sergeant Cober last week, this fifteen year
Speaker 1: old teen whose name cannot be released, had numerous previous
Speaker 1: criminal encounters, including a firing at a house, numerous robberies,
Speaker 1: aggravated burglaries, and this kid's fifteen years old and right
Speaker 1: now he's locked up. The prosecutor's office is going to
Speaker 1: try him as an adult, they.
Speaker 3: Hope, but don't know.
Speaker 1: It's got to be bound over by juvenile court Judge
Speaker 1: Carrie Bloom and juvenile court. She seldom binds over these kids,
Speaker 1: thinking that can be shall we say, rehabilitated in juvenile court.
Speaker 1: And this comes on the sentencing of Justin Dugan, seventeen
Speaker 1: year old, who was sentenced on his eighteen year olds
Speaker 1: in the murder of Benjamin Addison last March UC student
Speaker 1: in Mount Auburn. There was two persons involved in that
Speaker 1: and that armed robbery resulting in a murder. One was
Speaker 1: the least culpable. Was given four months of probation and
Speaker 1: he did not fire the weapon. Justin Dugan did. It
Speaker 1: was seventeen when he murdered Benjamin Addison. He's now eighteen
Speaker 1: years old, which was a classic arm robbery felony murder.
Speaker 1: You're committing a felony, which is the theft of an
Speaker 1: auto vehicle, and during the commission of the felony, someone
Speaker 1: is killed. That's called felony murder. That's called aggravated murder.
Speaker 1: But new prosecutor said, no, it's not aggravated murder. It's
Speaker 1: a voluntary manslaughter. Voluntary manslaughter is the unintentional killing of
Speaker 1: another caused by the provocation of the victim. Now what
Speaker 1: this is is a is an aggravated murder. It's a
Speaker 1: murder charge. It's not a voluntary manslaughter causing the death
Speaker 1: of another brought on by the provocation of the victim.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what Benjamin Addison did, but whatever it was,
Speaker 1: he didn't bring about his own death, and for one
Speaker 1: reason or another, prosecutor's office decided to lower the charge
Speaker 1: from aggravated murder right through murder on the voluntary manslaughter.
Speaker 1: Received twenty one years in jail, and Dugan is now
Speaker 1: eighteen years old, been locked up for several months, so
Speaker 1: he'll be out after eighty five months a good time.
Speaker 1: He'll be out when he's thirty seven or thirty eight
Speaker 1: years old. I would anticipate to commit more armed robberies,
Speaker 1: more regaated murders that may be broken down. And lastly,
Speaker 1: police officer told me on Saturdays, you may know, there
Speaker 1: were protests, the hands off protests against Donald Trump, well
Speaker 1: organized by the radical left, and quite often the protesters
Speaker 1: are paid to be there and at wanted the so
Speaker 1: called protests mayrift have. Pirival was present shutting down streets
Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati for the so called marchers and protesters.
Speaker 1: The march and protest. It wasn't at Washington Park anymore,
Speaker 1: which is a confined area, but this protest poured on
Speaker 1: the city streets and the police were told to shut
Speaker 1: down streets. You may know that when a march or
Speaker 1: a protest takes place, like the Saint Patrick's Day parade
Speaker 1: or whatever, the parade organizers file a petition of request
Speaker 1: to shut down certain streets certain periods of time, they
Speaker 1: pay for security, and away you go. In this case,
Speaker 1: there was no permit process by which those so called
Speaker 1: protesting Donald Trump's policies, which are proven yet to be
Speaker 1: greatly successful, that there was no permit filed. In other words,
Speaker 1: they were trespassing on city streets. That's called criminal trespass.
Speaker 1: And the mayor of Cincinnati, you have to appear Ofval
Speaker 1: was marching with them, and the police officers, some twenty
Speaker 1: five or thirty were present. One of them told me
Speaker 1: they were told not to approach the mayor or anyone
Speaker 1: else because just let it go. It's a minor matter.
Speaker 1: It's called criminal trespass. But if you or I and
Speaker 1: a group of our friends decided to shut down some
Speaker 1: street or highway without permission to do so, that we
Speaker 1: likely would get arrested. But how do you arrest somebody
Speaker 1: with the mayor after piraval is heading up the protest.
Speaker 1: On top of that, there were incidences over the weekend
Speaker 1: in the Clifton area which on Saturday night especially, we're
Speaker 1: large numbers were smoking marijuana, shall we say, outdoors openly
Speaker 1: without consequence? Cops have said, including ken Kober, Sergeant ken Kober,
Speaker 1: we're told by the city administration not to cite anyone
Speaker 1: and not to ask them to put out their cigarettes
Speaker 1: they're marijuana SIGs, because we don't enforce those laws anymore.
Speaker 3: Well, what laws do you enforce?
Speaker 1: Don't enforce marijuana possession laws in public, smoking in public,
Speaker 1: which is a crime. We don't enforce criminal trespass laws
Speaker 1: because after all, the mayor is heading up the protest.
Speaker 3: What do we do?
Speaker 1: And when it comes to schmail park and OTR until
Speaker 1: lecture at the bank, since we're hundreds of youths gather
Speaker 1: to openly smoke pot. I've asked police officers who are
Speaker 1: president at the scene, why not go up to these
Speaker 1: kids that are smoking marijuana openly and tell them put
Speaker 1: out your pot. You can't do that, he said. We're
Speaker 1: told not to enforce marijuana loss even though it's against
Speaker 1: the law. And I don't know what to say other
Speaker 1: than the shattered glass theory ought to work, that you
Speaker 1: begin by the small stuff and metastasized to the big stuff.
Speaker 1: We haven't got to the warm days of summer yet.
Speaker 1: When real crime takes place in and around the Banks
Speaker 1: area and OTR and around TQL, it's a regular event shootings.
Speaker 1: In fact, Channel nineteen a few years ago did a
Speaker 1: shot spot or check on how many shots are fired
Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati every year. We're not talking
Speaker 1: about Hamilton County or Kenton County or Boone County. How
Speaker 1: many shots are fired? And shot spotter kept track and
Speaker 1: one year there was more than twenty thousand shots fired.
Speaker 1: And the city of Cincinnati, which is what north to
Speaker 1: south might be about seven miles east to west, the
Speaker 1: core area is about four miles. Very small area. Twenty
Speaker 1: thousand shots are fired and very few hit their mark,
Speaker 1: thank god. On the incident on Short Vine, several shots
Speaker 1: were fired and Kyle Merrick is dead and the fifteen
Speaker 1: year old perpetrator was shot seven times and he'll face
Speaker 1: charges of some character. There's some doubt whether Judge Kerry
Speaker 1: Bloom and Juvenile Court will bind over because she's a
Speaker 1: liberal activist wearing a black robe. Who knows what our
Speaker 1: juvenile court is lost? And throw on top of that,
Speaker 1: what happened a Saturday night after a concert, twenty two
Speaker 1: year old Andre Harris was shot several times by a
Speaker 1: robber who identified him. I would imagine he may have
Speaker 1: saw him pick up his wallet from the stone Market
Speaker 1: there and thought it would be an easy pigeon, so
Speaker 1: he stuck a gun in his belly. Then all hell
Speaker 1: broke loose. So I tell those around me, and I
Speaker 1: tell you on several issues, this is like gun smoke.
Speaker 1: There's this large numbers of individuals walking around to try
Speaker 1: to take property from you and kill you now, and
Speaker 1: almost every circumstance the victim complies, and when you don't comply,
Speaker 1: And I don't blame the victims for not complying. I
Speaker 1: don't think Kyle Merrick, when he was murdered on Short Vine,
Speaker 1: had thought, oh, I'm gonna go out tonight and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be murdered. I gotta be careful what I do.
Speaker 1: But if the incidents take place, put your hands up
Speaker 1: and say what do you want? Give the robber, give
Speaker 1: the give the thief whatever he wants, give it to him.
Speaker 1: And if you're in your vehicle and you see it
Speaker 1: being stolen, to not chase down anybody. You can replace
Speaker 1: a Hyundai, but you can't replace a human life. We
Speaker 1: must be prepared for these incidents, beginning with don't put
Speaker 1: yourself in a circumstance where you're in an area where
Speaker 1: these things might take place. You know, I've not been
Speaker 1: down to the banks in Shmall Park after dark on
Speaker 1: a weekend night, have you? I would say the answer
Speaker 1: is probably not. But ken Kober, sergeant says that a
Speaker 1: few hundred youth are looking shots fired repeatedly, people or
Speaker 1: shot and killed and wounded, and they're looking for their
Speaker 1: next victim. And if the next victim is you, prepare
Speaker 1: yourself mentally to understand what you should do if this happens.
Speaker 1: Put your hands up and say what do you want?
Speaker 1: I'll give you whatever you want. Then proceed slowly to
Speaker 1: give the robber whatever he or she wants, because your
Speaker 1: life is not worth a one hundred dollars bill. That's
Speaker 1: where we are today. It's sad and it's sick, and
Speaker 1: I give great props to those in the city trying
Speaker 1: to stop it. You got to try to do something
Speaker 1: youth violence, things of this Reverend Mingo. Whatever it takes,
Speaker 1: get out there, whatever it takes to lessen it, to
Speaker 1: make it less culturally acceptable, it must be done. There's
Speaker 1: a very few number of individuals committing disproportionate offenses. At CPS.
Speaker 1: There's about what thirty five thousand kids. There's about about
Speaker 1: twenty thousand or so African American males, and the great
Speaker 1: majority of them would have nothing to do with crime, zero, zilch, nada.
Speaker 3: It's a very.
Speaker 1: Small number who listen to the culture and act out
Speaker 1: certain fantasies, and you're going to be victimized. I would
Speaker 1: also encourage you not to lock your Have nothing of
Speaker 1: value in your car and don't lock it because a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a window gets expensive. So leave nothing of
Speaker 1: value in your car and leave it unlocked. And those
Speaker 1: who go in, and if you happen to come upon
Speaker 1: someone inside your car, back away and do nothing.
Speaker 3: Call police. They may come, they may not come.
Speaker 1: But if you're a police officer today, you know what,
Speaker 1: You're not incentivized to enforce the law. Yours truly have
Speaker 1: walked around Washington Park, OTR quite a bit, dozens of times,
Speaker 1: because my family's roots go deep into the soil of
Speaker 1: Washington Park. It is common to see dozens of individuals
Speaker 1: smoking pot openly, and I've asked one or two cops,
Speaker 1: how come you don't cite those marijuana users. We're told
Speaker 1: not to. So when the law is disregarded completely at
Speaker 1: small levels, it becomes bigger and more dangerous at all levels.
Speaker 1: So that's where we are. And guess what, it's not
Speaker 1: going to change once again. I get props to Damon
Speaker 1: Lynch and to Reverend Mingo and others are seeking to
Speaker 1: change a little bit. What's happening. The great majority of
Speaker 1: kids who go to cps want nothing to do with violence.
Speaker 1: The great majority. Joe Dieters often says that there's between
Speaker 1: five hundred and one thousand kids who believe in the
Speaker 1: system who should be in the system for what they've
Speaker 1: done criminally. But the great majority have nothing to do
Speaker 1: with crime. In fact, they're the victims of crime. So
Speaker 1: let's continue with more after one o'clock today will be
Speaker 1: Scott Powell about the importance of Easter. This is the
Speaker 1: first day after Easter. The Easter egg role is this
Speaker 1: afternoon in the White House. And after two o'clock today
Speaker 1: will be Julie Gunlock of the Independent Women's Form and more.
Speaker 1: Reds Baseball kicks off about five forty. First bitch about
Speaker 1: six forty. We'll see what happens. Hopefully the Reds won't
Speaker 1: be shut out the next three games as they were
Speaker 1: the last time. They scored a bunch of runs. Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham seven hundred WW by Billy Cunningham. The Great American,
Speaker 1: of Course, is a column written by the Great Scott Powell.
Speaker 1: I read a lot of his stuff at town Hall
Speaker 1: dot com and elsewhere. And the column the headline is
Speaker 1: this Easter the resurrection of Jesus transformed the world forever.
Speaker 1: And there's a couple of classic sentences he put together,
Speaker 1: Scott Powell. One is that no other religion makes the
Speaker 1: claim they were founded by a messiah, makes Jesus the
Speaker 1: most revolutionary figure in American history. And all the other
Speaker 1: religions had those who the prophets who had passed away,
Speaker 1: but Jesus didn't. He did die, he was resurrected, and
Speaker 1: he's in heaven above and is unique in many reasons,
Speaker 1: one of which is we time the world history from
Speaker 1: the moment of his birth. This is twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: versus another important thing. Scott Powell, Welcome again to the
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham Show. So tell me about your column, The
Speaker 1: Resurrection of Jesus transformed the world forever. Why did that happen?
Speaker 5: Well, it happened because since the fall of Man, life
Speaker 5: has been distorted. People have had all kinds of problems,
Speaker 5: and people need to be saved. You know, we need
Speaker 5: a savior. I opened the article by you know, relating
Speaker 5: to the recurring theme in Western literature and modern classics
Speaker 5: as such as Superman and Disney Originals, revolve around the
Speaker 5: struggle between good and evil and the need and critical
Speaker 5: role for a rescuer or a savior. And everybody relates
Speaker 5: to that theme, right, everybody does. Well, guess what, we
Speaker 5: ourselves a need need a savior because you know, we're
Speaker 5: flawed and we're you know, we're subject to temptation to
Speaker 5: do the wrong thing. We don't always treat people the
Speaker 5: way we should. I mean, there's all kinds of areas
Speaker 5: in our lives where we're just efficient, can't seem to
Speaker 5: get it fixed, try as we will, the reality is
Speaker 5: that we can't. And all the other religions, all of
Speaker 5: them are based on works. You know, in order to
Speaker 5: get elevated spiritually, you have to perform certain works, certain rituals,
Speaker 5: and so forth. Christianity is unique because its orientation is
Speaker 5: not on ourselves, but it's outward. And it turns out
Speaker 5: that it isn't works that open this relationship to Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5: It is simply acknowledging our sin, acknowledging that we're flawed,
Speaker 5: and that Christ stood in our place, if you will,
Speaker 5: and gave up his life. He sacrificed his life to
Speaker 5: justify us before God. And as we accept Jesus as
Speaker 5: our Lord and savior, then we have this open relationship
Speaker 5: with God.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the historical character, because the skeptic, the atheist,
Speaker 1: someone who says, well that this was a fanciful tale.
Speaker 1: There's no evidence that he ever existed, nothing he ever
Speaker 1: wrote has ever been discovered. There's pictures, maybe the shout
Speaker 1: of turn. I think it's remarkable, but give the history
Speaker 1: as to why. Objectively, the existence of Jesus Christ of
Speaker 1: Nazareth is real.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, Skeptics of the biblic account of Jesus
Speaker 5: simply have to come to terms with the fact that
Speaker 5: there is more reliable historical evidence for his life, teachings, miracles, death,
Speaker 5: and resurrection than there is evidence for any other historical
Speaker 5: figure of ancient times. You know. Consider, for instance that
Speaker 5: the authenticity of Alexander the Great, who was born some
Speaker 5: three hundred and fifty years before Christ, is based on
Speaker 5: only two original biographical accounts of his life by people
Speaker 5: named Arion and Plutarch. But they they didn't write this
Speaker 5: for some four hundred years after Alexander died. And then
Speaker 5: you could take Virgil and Horace, very famous poets. The
Speaker 5: manuscripts of Virgil and Horace, both of them lived within
Speaker 5: a generation of Christ, were written more than four centuries
Speaker 5: after their deaths. Yet no one doubts Virgil and Horace
Speaker 5: lived and authored great poetic masterpieces. Similarly, the historical record
Speaker 5: of Alexander the Great is unquestioned. But the reliability, let's
Speaker 5: simplify it. How do we get to the reliability of ancients?
Speaker 5: How can we be sure about things? Well, there's three variables,
Speaker 5: and the reliability of ancient history is determined by the
Speaker 5: number of eyewitness accounts of the events. These are eyewitness accounts,
Speaker 5: people saw what was happening. And then there's the lapse
Speaker 5: of time between the eyewitness accounts and the written record
Speaker 5: of those accounts. So the shorter the time, the better
Speaker 5: more reliable it is. And then there's the number we're
Speaker 5: talking about ancient history two thousand years you know, we
Speaker 5: were living, you know, two thousand years after Christ. Then
Speaker 5: there's the number of surviving manuscripts of that written record.
Speaker 5: So three things. Again, eyewitness accounts, laps of time between
Speaker 5: the eyewitness accounts and the written record, and then the
Speaker 5: number of surviving manuscripts of that written record. So if
Speaker 5: we look at the big picture, they're about one thousand
Speaker 5: times more manuscripts preserving the deeds and teachings of Jesus
Speaker 5: in the New Testament, which are about twenty five thousand.
Speaker 5: Then there are preserving other classical ancient works. And you
Speaker 5: can pick other people other than you know, Alexander the
Speaker 5: Great or Virgil and Horse. There's plenty of others you
Speaker 5: could do the same thing with. There's twenty five about
Speaker 5: twenty thousand surviving manuscripts that preserve jesus teachings. The next
Speaker 5: closest is Homer's Iliad. That but that's only back by
Speaker 5: eighteen hundred manuscripts. That that's still less than one tenth
Speaker 5: the number of ancient manuscripts that back to the authenticity
Speaker 5: of Jesus's life.
Speaker 3: So how many years?
Speaker 1: How many years went by from the events themselves and
Speaker 1: those who watched them to the time they were written
Speaker 1: they were written down? How many years.
Speaker 5: Passed in the case of Jesus, that's the that's the
Speaker 5: incredible thing. These they were written down within a generation
Speaker 5: or two of Jesus' life p.
Speaker 3: Four hundred years. Like Alexander the Gray, everyone says the exist.
Speaker 5: All the others. Remember, history was an oral tradition. Most
Speaker 5: things were an oral tradition in those days. There weren't
Speaker 5: that many scribes, but many of the many of the
Speaker 5: ancient people that we revere, and we don't even question
Speaker 5: their authenticity. The reality is is that they their written
Speaker 5: record is four hundred years old after the eyewitness account
Speaker 5: or after the actual you know, the poetic works that
Speaker 5: were read and they were oral and heard by people,
Speaker 5: but it wasn't really written down for four hundred years.
Speaker 5: And yet we don't doubt that Virgil and Horace lived
Speaker 5: and wrote these wonderful things. But in the case of Jesus,
Speaker 5: there were four different accounts known as the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke,
Speaker 5: and John, and they weren't written hundreds of years later,
Speaker 5: but within a generation or two of jesus life. Now
Speaker 5: apostles Matthew and John, they provide eyewitness accounts from their
Speaker 5: years walking with Jesus as his disciples, and that was
Speaker 5: about a three year period. Mark also had eyewitness experience,
Speaker 5: but he was only a teenager during the public ministry
Speaker 5: of Jesus. And Luke fourth he was the famous doctor,
Speaker 5: and he learned about Jesus from his friend Paul, who
Speaker 5: was the primary apostle who wrote most of the letters
Speaker 5: of the New Testament.
Speaker 6: So this is.
Speaker 5: Unique to Jesus. And yet many people doubt Jesus, doubt
Speaker 5: the existence, the life, the history, everything about Jesus more
Speaker 5: than they would doubt, you know, like Alexander the Great
Speaker 5: or other historic figures.
Speaker 3: Well, I's got the dead states.
Speaker 5: They would believe all of Roman history before they believe
Speaker 5: the account of Jesus.
Speaker 1: Now, why is that because you have Roman history, there's
Speaker 1: some of them was written down, but the existence of
Speaker 1: Jesus had thousands and thousands of references at the time.
Speaker 1: And in fact, his name was was discovered somewhere on
Speaker 1: a block of grant stone in and around Jerusalem. But
Speaker 1: no one doubts that Julius Caesar existed. No one doubts that.
Speaker 1: But they doubt Jesus. They doubt his existence. Why is that?
Speaker 1: Is it a lack of faith? Is it to prove?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 5: There's problem? There are probably a number of reasons. But
Speaker 5: there are some people that are so you know, there's
Speaker 5: there there somewhat unwilling to submit or surrender to a
Speaker 5: higher authority. God is the highest authority, right, and Jesus
Speaker 5: was his son. Jesus and God are really are really
Speaker 5: are really God. Because Jesus was one with God, he
Speaker 5: had all the power of God. We know the miracles
Speaker 5: he did and so forth. And people have a hard
Speaker 5: time to, you know, submitting, They want to They think
Speaker 5: they want to be free to do whatever they want. Well,
Speaker 5: the reality is is that God does want us to
Speaker 5: be happy, fulfill having meaningful lives. But there are certain,
Speaker 5: you know, boundaries that we need to operate within, and
Speaker 5: when we do, life goes a lot better. And you know,
Speaker 5: and the Jews had this right, going all the way
Speaker 5: back to Abraham and Moses, particularly Moses, who who's really
Speaker 5: authored the Mosaic law, if you will, the Ten Commandments anyway,
Speaker 5: which are the main part of the Mosaic Law. There
Speaker 5: are many more laws beyond the Ten Commandments. But Jews
Speaker 5: were having a very hard time living up to all
Speaker 5: of these. Life was very you know, complicated, and and
Speaker 5: and people rested out over not being able to live
Speaker 5: up to all these these laws and regulations, if you will,
Speaker 5: in their lives. And so one of the Pharisees said
Speaker 5: to Jesus at some point, he said, he said, Rabbi,
Speaker 5: of which of the of the Mosaic law, which of
Speaker 5: the laws is the greatest? And of course there are
Speaker 5: so many of them. And you know what Jesus answered,
Speaker 5: very simple answer. He said, if you love God with
Speaker 5: all your heart and soul, and you love your neighbor
Speaker 5: as yourself, you will have fulfilled all of the laws.
Speaker 5: And this is unique to Christianity. The focus of Christianity
Speaker 5: is outward, it's not inward. It's not you know, doing
Speaker 5: the mantra and getting one with yourself and so forth.
Speaker 5: It is, it is outward, it is loving other people,
Speaker 5: it's serving other people. You know, you could encapsulate it
Speaker 5: by the golden rule. You you want other people to
Speaker 5: do under you as as you want to do unto
Speaker 5: others as you would have them do.
Speaker 1: On that and Scott po before we get to the
Speaker 1: critical part. For me, I'm a practicing Roman Catholic, and
Speaker 1: uh I find my religion a source of great strength.
Speaker 1: How do we know the resurrection took place? How do
Speaker 1: we know that this wasn't some fable in order to
Speaker 1: confirm the divinity of the Christ because he was dead,
Speaker 1: that the spear was thrown into it pushed into his lung,
Speaker 1: into his heart, water and blood came out. How do
Speaker 1: we know he resurrected from the dead. How do we
Speaker 1: know that?
Speaker 5: Well, we we know it from from the eyewitness testimonies,
Speaker 5: and there there were you know, quite a quite a
Speaker 5: number of those. As a matter of fact, Well, there's
Speaker 5: a couple of things that I think are worth noting. First, First,
Speaker 5: Jesus is the only people, only person all in all
Speaker 5: of human history who who was There were prophecies about
Speaker 5: his coming as much as a thousand years before Jesus
Speaker 5: appeared in the world, David was prophesying that this Messiah
Speaker 5: would be crucified. I mean, and that's at a time
Speaker 5: when crucifixion didn't even exist.
Speaker 1: Different eighteen different prophets who talk about Jesus.
Speaker 5: Micah actually predicted that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem.
Speaker 5: He names Bethlehem, And this is hundreds of years before
Speaker 5: Jesus right now, how is that possible that that didn't
Speaker 5: happen with anybody else? As far as we talk in.
Speaker 1: Scott, I find your column on townhall dot com. The
Speaker 1: critical piece of evidence is this, the crucifixion is among
Speaker 1: the worst ways to die. When I saw the movie
Speaker 1: The Passion of the Christ, it was awful, it was terrible,
Speaker 1: But the experts say it was much worse than that.
Speaker 1: And at the end, Peter denied the relationship with Jesus
Speaker 1: three times before the cock crowed. Three times he said,
Speaker 1: I don't know the guy. Now, would you say?
Speaker 3: No? One will die for something contrived or false. Seeing
Speaker 3: talking to and touching the risen Jesus transformed the apostles,
Speaker 3: who then committed to the rest of their lives and
Speaker 3: sharing the messages of salvation through Christ. And who would
Speaker 3: give their life be crucified upside down, be stoned to death,
Speaker 3: burned alive, skinned alive, if it was all alive, because
Speaker 3: if it ended at the at Calgary, if that was
Speaker 3: the end of it at Calvary and it didn't exist anymore,
Speaker 3: the only way these twelve and Matthias took the place
Speaker 3: of Judas would have given their lives is if it
Speaker 3: was a true fact that Jesus was resurrected.
Speaker 5: Well, it's very compelling, you know evidence, there's no doubt
Speaker 5: about that. You know, there still could be something that
Speaker 5: would be skeptical. But if you go back to what
Speaker 5: I said about about how we can understand you know,
Speaker 5: ancient history through those three variables. The number of I
Speaker 5: would accounts the lapse of time between those eyewitness accounts
Speaker 5: and the written record. And if the shorter it is,
Speaker 5: the more reliable it is. And then the number of
Speaker 5: surviving manuscripts of the written record. And these are because
Speaker 5: this is ancient two thousand years or more old. You know,
Speaker 5: there's no you know, nothing really survived, you know, as
Speaker 5: perfect parchment, I mean, you have you have fragments of
Speaker 5: works in terms of what has survived. But you know
Speaker 5: the written record, all of those variables put together make
Speaker 5: Jesus in a class by himself, and all.
Speaker 1: The disciples and all the apostles would now have given
Speaker 1: their life and be tortured and preached the word for
Speaker 1: decades thereafter. Only John lived a fruitful life at the end.
Speaker 1: But none would have given their life for a lie.
Speaker 1: And if Jesus was crucified and put in the tomb
Speaker 1: and never resurrect from the dead, this whole thing never
Speaker 1: would have got to start. Nobody would have given it,
Speaker 1: and unanimously. Not eight out of the twelve or six.
Speaker 3: Every one of them gave their life for something they saw,
Speaker 3: which was the resurrected Christ. Otherwise they wouldn't.
Speaker 5: Have asked me about the resurrection. So the New Testament
Speaker 5: provides accounts from multiple sources who witnessed Jesus firsthand. After
Speaker 5: the resurrection. Jesus made ten separate appearances during these forty
Speaker 5: days to his disciples between the resurrection and his ascension
Speaker 5: into heaven, which was about a period of forty days.
Speaker 5: Those appearances were the individual disciples. There were several disciples
Speaker 5: at the same time, and once Jesus was seen by
Speaker 5: five hundred people at one time. All of this, all
Speaker 5: of this is testified in the Gospels as having happened.
Speaker 5: And it's noteworthy that there were no accounts or witnesses
Speaker 5: who came forth and disputed these appearances or called it
Speaker 5: a hoax. That would certainly happen in modern times, but
Speaker 5: it didn't.
Speaker 3: Happen back then, because they saw me, they saw him,
Speaker 3: that's right.
Speaker 5: Nor is there any record of any witness accounts that
Speaker 5: were contradictory.
Speaker 3: Scott. We got to run up against the clock get
Speaker 3: the article everywhere. Easter.
Speaker 1: The resurrection of Jesus transformed the world forever. Scott Powell,
Speaker 1: once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: And Scott, you're a great American. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bill, God bless you. Let's continue with more.
Speaker 1: No one is going to give their life for a lie.
Speaker 1: Not unanimously. All twelve Matthias took the place of Judas.
Speaker 1: If it was all a lie, they would not have
Speaker 1: spent the rest of their life spreading the word about Jesus.
Speaker 1: And secondly they were massacred in horrible ways. The truth
Speaker 1: will set you free. Bill Cunningham on seven hundred wulw

Speaker 3: or something that was pitching, he was just throwing it out.
Speaker 3: He might as well throw it under underhand baseball heaven.
Speaker 3: Oh but Marte hit that one to the next county.
Speaker 3: But didn't they do this? Similarly? About three weeks ago,
Speaker 3: two weeks ago, Willie thirty five consecutive innings without a
Speaker 3: run over five games. That was after the what was
Speaker 3: it fourteen to one win over Texas.
Speaker 1: So in two games they scored like thirty six runs.

Speaker 3: Yesterday will He had twenty five hit attack. The Reds
Speaker 3: went fifteen to twenty five with runners in scoring position,
Speaker 3: a record. Now Austin Wins, the backup catcher, only made
Speaker 3: the club out of spring training because Tyler Stevenson opened
Speaker 3: on the il fifth Red since nineteen hundred to score
Speaker 3: to record six hits in a game, the first since
Speaker 3: Philip Irvin in twenty nineteen. Left Fielder Wins also becomes
Speaker 3: the sixth catcher primary position to pull off a six
Speaker 3: hit feat game in MLB history. The last one to
Speaker 3: do it was Paul Laduka in two thousand and one,
Speaker 3: played for the Mets. Two other Reds catchers have done it.
Speaker 3: Who are they? Walker Cooper in nineteen forty seven, you
Speaker 3: were led to Cooper fly and Ernie Lombardi Ernie thirty
Speaker 3: nine in the year of the Great Flood thirty seven,
Speaker 3: Bengo Novelie isn't in thirty seven, I don't know. We
Speaker 3: were underwater. Good point, Go ahead, Novellie Marte added five hits,
Speaker 3: including a grand slam off a Hordey Mateo terrible wins
Speaker 3: in Marte the first pair of Red's teammates with five
Speaker 3: hits each in the same game since Veda Pinson and
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer Frank Robinson in nineteen fifty. What were
Speaker 3: their number segment? Veda Pinson was twenty eight and Frank
Speaker 3: Robinson was I had it right there in my tip
Speaker 3: ony twenty. By the way, Frank Robinson didn't come up
Speaker 3: till fifty six. Didn't you just say fifty fifty nine?
Speaker 3: He said, you said fifty I said fifty nine. You did.
Speaker 3: All right, We're gonna look at the never ch eleven
Speaker 3: Walks match, the most of the Reds had since twenty
Speaker 3: twenty against the White Sox. Fan of Pinson was my
Speaker 3: favorite Reds player at that time. You were a good player.
Speaker 3: Twenty eight. And after that came Bobby Tolan, remember him,
Speaker 3: not bad? Hurt his achilles though, yep, and then throw
Speaker 3: in the chief and throw in Eric Davis. Doesn't get
Speaker 3: any better than that. Not bad. Let's see. The most
Speaker 3: twenty five hits were the most since May of nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety nine against Colorado tied for six most in Red's history.
Speaker 3: I mean this is I mean, how did this happen?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: Well, because I guess because the Oriole stink. And what
Speaker 3: about l A Day La Cruz aka Superman that you
Speaker 3: will not see another catch of that magnitude this year.
Speaker 3: I let's put it right now, nine feet nine feet reach, unbelievable,
Speaker 3: unbelievable down in the catch down the left field line.
Speaker 3: They have a transition. A transition you mean transaction transgender? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: let's see Lodolo is off the fraternity list. Randy Winn,
Speaker 3: who came on, got a fleeing flight yesterday morning at
Speaker 3: seven am to get the Baltimore wherever Louisville was. He
Speaker 3: got to pitch three and he's got his first career save.
Speaker 3: He's back in Louisville. Good job. Yeah, And how about
Speaker 3: Brett Souter, the man of bowler getting it done? Not bad?
Speaker 3: All I can say is hopefully the Reds will use
Speaker 3: this as motivation to hit the ball. The next two
Speaker 3: series should be won. I think the Reds are favorite
Speaker 3: in every game in Miami, in every game in Colorado.
Speaker 3: They really I think Colorado has won three games this year.
Speaker 3: They stink and their uniforms look goofy too. The Reds
Speaker 3: promoting Chase Burns from High A to Double A Chattanooga
Speaker 3: already here he comes, Chaser number two overall pick at
Speaker 3: A twenty twenty four draft and three High A outings,
Speaker 3: three oh nine e RA and twenty punch outs. Not bad.
Speaker 3: He'll be here by August three. Uh ERA is not good, though,
Speaker 3: is it did? It'll get lower Reds and Marlins. Tonight
Speaker 3: welly five forty Sports Talk, Arnell Carriers Inside Pitch, then
Speaker 3: Kelsey Chevrolet Extra Inning Show after the game. Now the
Speaker 3: University of Cincinnati Bearcats two commits in one hour. They
Speaker 3: need it. A little while ago they need it. UCF

Speaker 3: foot six seven feet six inches, about as about as
Speaker 3: wide as this room. He's at a senegal ten points
Speaker 3: or six rebounds a game in his freshman year with
Speaker 3: in Orlando. Then the Bearcats and West Miller get former
Speaker 3: Baylor guard Jason Jalen Celestine out of the transfer portal.
Speaker 3: He hit thirty eight percent from three. He spent three
Speaker 3: years at Cow Kentucky's gonna get Denzel Aberdeen from the
Speaker 3: world chair or the NCAA champion Florida Gators. Is he
Speaker 3: related to Denzel Washington? No, not really. Bengals Update brought
Speaker 3: to you by Good Spirits and Party Town thirteen locations

Speaker 3: the Holy Grail with Lance Rock Chickster, everybody, AE and everyone.
Speaker 3: What's the number one thing the Bengals need? Do you
Speaker 3: think it's presented by Ortho? Since the Orthopedics and Sports
Speaker 3: Medicine and Emory Federal Credit Union seventeenth pick overall, I
Speaker 3: would go with an offensive lineman. Okay. Plus it also
Speaker 3: depends that Duke Tobin was just talking to the media.
Speaker 3: They're open to trades and there's nothing new about the
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson matter. Nothing new, nothing new. Well, he's under
Speaker 3: contract for one more year right now. Is he going
Speaker 3: to say no to like twenty two million dollars. Is
Speaker 3: he gonna play one more year? Doesn't he have to?
Speaker 3: I guess, Oh yeah, I mean if you sit out,
Speaker 3: so you still have rights with the Bengals for one
Speaker 3: more year. Gotta play. Congrats to the Xavier women's tennis
Speaker 3: team winning their fifth straight Big East championship over the weekend,
Speaker 3: beating Villanova and Xavier gets an automatic bid to the
Speaker 3: ncaah A Tennis Championships. That's good. How many you see
Speaker 3: men as basketball? Have some sense that Miller has a
Speaker 3: team to coach. Well, he's got two good guys right there?
Speaker 3: So far? Do you have hope? There's always hope. And and
Speaker 3: of course Duke Star Cooper Flag is getting out of
Speaker 3: Tobacco road. He's declared for the twenty twenty five draft
Speaker 3: to be the projected number one pick. Looks like he's
Speaker 3: headed to who stinks the most in the NBA? Washington
Speaker 3: The Wizards think do they? I thought was Dallas, Well
Speaker 3: they stink, but Elas think is bad? Oh, I would
Speaker 3: think Washington or Carolina something like that. Charlotte, well, they're
Speaker 3: the worst teams. Good luck to you. Would you want
Speaker 3: to go to Washington DC to play basketball. No, No,
Speaker 3: FC Cincinnati wins its fourth in a row Saturday. Next
Speaker 3: up for the Orange and Blue is at home on
Speaker 3: this Saturday t QL Stadium against Sporting Kansas City and
Speaker 3: their first place correct Todd second place, second place, second
Speaker 3: place behind Charlotte. Well, we'll see what happens. See what
Speaker 3: the draft starts on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We'll will
Speaker 3: we be there twenty four hours a day for those
Speaker 3: three days, every day, every just Thursday. What about Friday? No?
Speaker 3: What about Saturday?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Why not? First round is Thursday two and three, on
Speaker 3: Friday four through seven on Saturday. About what time would
Speaker 3: the Bengals pick be Thursday night? I would say around
Speaker 3: ten pm or something ten thirty and a round day
Speaker 3: offensive or defensive lineman or a stud linebacker. We need
Speaker 3: a stud linebacker. Would you agree? They need a few
Speaker 3: things and in a few kicker?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, Money Mac Money Mac has issued
Speaker 3: some insufficient They're okay at quarterback, aren't they? Briefly? But
Speaker 3: money Mac wide receiver. I think they're all right, aren't they?
Speaker 3: Why can't we get a kicker? What about a running back? Goals? Well,
Speaker 3: we could use that they're not valuable supposedly, No, but
Speaker 3: you got to keep number nine upright and cleaning, keep
Speaker 3: them clean, being going with one in five, get the
Speaker 3: ball from nine to one and nine to five, and
Speaker 3: also play a little bit in the preseason, how about that?
Speaker 3: And then another one win early might those two or
Speaker 3: three four game you know, three or four games the
Speaker 3: beginning of the season. Yeah, then you then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden at the end of the year, you got
Speaker 3: to dig out of that hole. And you can't do
Speaker 3: it because then you need Houston to win, and then
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh to lose, and then the Rams to win, and
Speaker 3: then the Commanders to lose, and this team to win
Speaker 3: and that team to win, and you're in sake, who
Speaker 3: is worst beginning of season? The Bengals are the Reds
Speaker 3: you mean last year or anytime the last few years.
Speaker 3: Because the Reds right now are eleven eleven and were
Speaker 3: feeling good eleven eleven, I feel good about well, they
Speaker 3: lost what two out of three and to the Giants
Speaker 3: right to begin the season. Then they took two out
Speaker 3: of three, right, so I don't know, I mean, Bengals
Speaker 3: got to get off on a fast and two you know, what.
Speaker 3: I'll take that all day long. And if they they
Speaker 3: have a weaker schedule because they finished no more and
Speaker 3: three starts, those are a problem. Would you agree?
Speaker 1: I would say, so, now there's fourteen games, you got
Speaker 1: to go ten and four.
Speaker 3: In those games? Thank you. That gets a little difficult
Speaker 3: slightly in the National Football League. Lest they have a
Speaker 3: weaker schedule this year, correct, well, I hope so, haven't
Speaker 3: seen it yet. They they maybe going to Spain, they
Speaker 3: may be headed to Espadya.
Speaker 1: And if they are, they're going to be a visiting team,
Speaker 1: which is fine with me. I don't want to lose
Speaker 1: a home game at Leisia. Reese might go.
Speaker 3: Nuts, say you ready, they got to get that done.
Speaker 3: That's another issue. Trey hendrickson the stadium deal. Matt Huffman,
Speaker 3: the speaker is not too click keen on giving him
Speaker 3: a check for three hundred and fifty million dollars. Would
Speaker 3: you be, Yeah, you would be.
Speaker 1: I'll's continue with more after two o'clock today. What would
Speaker 1: July Gunlock of the Independent Women's Forum segment get me
Speaker 1: out of the student's report please? By the way, I
Speaker 1: want to acknowledge that Diamond Dave lives in Madisonville as
Speaker 1: a server at the Kenwood Country Club. And Diamond Dave
Speaker 1: is listening to me and listening to Bruce Roddy for
Speaker 1: thirty years. So if you know Diamond Dave telling me
Speaker 1: he's a great American seg man, give me out of
Speaker 1: the students report.

Speaker 3: words of the Stooge Report.
Speaker 5: The whole town's battie about Cincinnati.

Speaker 3: and then h O M E time back home. On
Speaker 3: seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: Win a thousand dollars entered this nationwide keyword on our website.
Speaker 4: Win.
Speaker 8: That's win.
Speaker 6: Enter it now.
Speaker 3: By Bill Cunningham, the Great America.
Speaker 1: Of course, Julie Gunlock, your frequent guests, would try to
Speaker 1: do this every month or two from the Independent Women's
Speaker 1: Forum dot org IWF dot org. And for those parents
Speaker 1: and for those sisters, for you, if you're a female
Speaker 1: type person or identify, shall I say as a female,
Speaker 1: I go to IWF dot org and it's got conservative
Speaker 1: viewpoints of women that point out some of the fallacies
Speaker 1: of governmental policies things of that character, and Julie Gunlock
Speaker 1: walcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 3: And someday soon.
Speaker 1: The US Supreme Court's hearing arguments, which I'm sure the
Speaker 1: opinion won't be released until June, about the requirement that
Speaker 1: parents be notified if their children are being taught in
Speaker 1: public schools issues and indoctrinated against their religious principles. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about transgenderism or anti God, whatever it might be.
Speaker 1: There are many schools, especially in Colorado, that have laws
Speaker 1: that are going to say, you know what, if a
Speaker 1: parent does not cooperate completely with their child's transitioning to
Speaker 1: one of the other one hundred and seven genders, that
Speaker 1: somehow that's the reason to take the child away, And
Speaker 1: that hopefully the Supreme Court's going to rule by June
Speaker 1: that parents must be notified about teaching principles to their
Speaker 1: children against their religious principles. Can you first tell the
Speaker 1: American people what's happening in this area and how important
Speaker 1: that has to be to parents and others.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is actually really frightening what is happening now.
Speaker 9: There are there is an effort in many states. There's
Speaker 9: most recently in Colorado, but there was an effort in
Speaker 9: Virginia and also California. Of course, the way of California
Speaker 9: is the way of Virginia to criminalize parents for objecting
Speaker 9: or having any concerns. And I'm talking, I mean you
Speaker 9: could literally voice the concern, and they want to criminalize that,
Speaker 9: meaning that if a parent says no to a child
Speaker 9: who wants to change their name and change their so
Speaker 9: called gender and identify as a transgender. There is no
Speaker 9: such thing as a transgender child. I want to be
Speaker 9: very clear there. But if they choose to identify as
Speaker 9: transgender and a parent objects to that and objects to
Speaker 9: a school changing the child's name or calling the child
Speaker 9: by the pronouns that they wish to be called, that
Speaker 9: parent can be charged with child abuse. What democrats want
Speaker 9: to do is add that to the list or CP
Speaker 9: of violations where a CPS agent can be called and
Speaker 9: brought to your home and your child taken away and
Speaker 9: potentially put in foster care.
Speaker 6: Again. If you object to your child's wish.
Speaker 9: To be transgender or be called by a different name
Speaker 9: or use different pronouns, it is absolutely orwellian and frightening
Speaker 9: and parents need to be aware that this is This
Speaker 9: is a very common belief among Democrats that is their
Speaker 9: job to protect children against their own parents, and their
Speaker 9: own grandparents and their wider family members. There is a
Speaker 9: very sort of well known case in Virginia and there's
Speaker 9: been some writing on it.
Speaker 6: It's called Sage's Law.
Speaker 9: This young woman named Stage, she decided that she was
Speaker 9: a transgender of girl.
Speaker 6: She was actually she wanted to be a man. That
Speaker 6: she decided she was transgender.
Speaker 9: Her school helped to transition her socially transition her. They
Speaker 9: never told the family. It turns out that this young
Speaker 9: girl was sex trafficked throughout the state. She ended up
Speaker 9: in Maryland. She was put in foster care. They would
Speaker 9: not let her parents or grandparents see her. It's an
Speaker 9: absolutely horrible case. And again if you look up Stage's Law,
Speaker 9: there was some reporting by.
Speaker 6: The federalists that was excellent. This could happen more commonly.
Speaker 9: We've already seen parental rights being taken away in California
Speaker 9: again now in Colorado, and so you know, if you're
Speaker 9: a parent anywhere in the country, be aware that Democrats
Speaker 9: are pursuing this. It is very frightening. And again parents
Speaker 9: should really know about it.
Speaker 1: Well when it comes to child cust disputes things in
Speaker 1: that character. Colorado's on the path many others. And it's
Speaker 1: interesting that in England, in Great Britain, the court ruled
Speaker 1: whatever court they have. That's the spositive of the issue
Speaker 1: about a week ago, that there are two genders.
Speaker 3: There's male and there's female.
Speaker 1: They're thirty years so to speak, ahead of us or
Speaker 1: behind us, depending on your perspective. But for twenty or
Speaker 1: thirty years, you could have a hormonal treatment, you could
Speaker 1: have gender reassignment surgery as children, and the system encouraged
Speaker 1: it and paid for it. And after this experiment for
Speaker 1: twenty or thirty years, England said, now wait a minute,
Speaker 1: this is wrong. It has terrible impacts on the child
Speaker 1: later on. It doesn't cure the psychiatric difficulties a child
Speaker 1: might have. In fact, it aggravates it. So explain what
Speaker 1: England did and how America will be there in ten
Speaker 1: to twenty years, hopefully quicker.
Speaker 3: But we're on the way.
Speaker 9: Well, look what was going on in England. It's actually
Speaker 9: happening here too. We've got cases of biological men, fully
Speaker 9: intact biological men simply saying simply declaring I am a
Speaker 9: woman and being transferred to women's prisons where women are
Speaker 9: then sexually attacked and raped. Some have become pregnant. It
Speaker 9: is an absolute catastrophe and I really if you're interested
Speaker 9: in this, you can look at uf dot org. We
Speaker 9: have a whole serious storytelling series on this that really
Speaker 9: tells pretty horrific stories of women that again that are
Speaker 9: in prison and having to share space with men, sometimes
Speaker 9: sells with biological men. And again all these men have
Speaker 9: to do is say you know, I'm a woman, and
Speaker 9: they will be transferred so and they can also receive
Speaker 9: cosmetic surgery, they.
Speaker 6: Can receive.
Speaker 9: Breast surgery and other surgeries in those jails at taxpayer expense.
Speaker 9: So this was happening in the UK. A lot of
Speaker 9: sort of famous cases actually in Scotland where where men
Speaker 9: were being housed with women in women's prisons. And finally
Speaker 9: a case went before the Supreme Court in England and
Speaker 9: the English Supreme Court.
Speaker 6: The England Supreme.
Speaker 9: Court ruled that a woman is known as the definition
Speaker 9: of woman is by her biological sex, the sex she
Speaker 9: was born with. This is the kind of thing that
Speaker 9: makes me shake my head and go am I living
Speaker 9: in the twilight zone because I cannot believe it actually
Speaker 9: has taken courts to say what is just common sense.
Speaker 9: But that is where we are, and you're absolutely right,
Speaker 9: this is going to have to happen. In the United States,
Speaker 9: IWF is working really hard to create what we call
Speaker 9: sort of sex specific language in state by state, and
Speaker 9: we have worked very hard to have some language codify
Speaker 9: that a woman is a biological woman in the stry.
Speaker 9: So we are working state by state and we've been
Speaker 9: quite successful. But again, we would welcome a Supreme Court action. Sadly,
Speaker 9: one of our Supreme Court justices doesn't actually even know
Speaker 9: what a woman is, so it likely will not be
Speaker 9: a unanimous vote if it comes to the United States
Speaker 9: Supreme Court. But in the UK they're moving ahead and
Speaker 9: we're very happy to see it.
Speaker 1: I kind of love these yard science. Science is real, well,
Speaker 1: biology is real, and gender is determined at the moment
Speaker 1: of conception, revealed at birth, maybe through a sonogram you
Speaker 1: might see the little stem there is okay, but is
Speaker 1: it is determined at conception and revealed at birth. And
Speaker 1: anything that says something the contrary is contrary to science.
Speaker 1: Contrary to biology contrary to nature.
Speaker 6: Right, you know, and you know, and Billy.
Speaker 9: What's so sad too, is that there's a common thing,
Speaker 9: especially among libertarian uh commentators and writers, that oh, you know,
Speaker 9: adults should be able to do whatever they want to do.
Speaker 6: And look, I really think that we.
Speaker 9: Need to understand that there are mentally ill males and
Speaker 9: mentally women frankly in this country who are removing.
Speaker 6: Completely healthy body parts.
Speaker 9: They're removing organs, they're removing their breast, they're removing their genitalia,
Speaker 9: they are altering themselves. I don't know under what in
Speaker 9: what world that is acceptable that we allow people. I mean,
Speaker 9: what if you're born and you say, you know, I
Speaker 9: really should be blind? Should we allow people to poke
Speaker 9: their eyes out? I mean, should we if you if
Speaker 9: you have sort of idea that really I'm a paraplegic.
Speaker 6: Should we have people cutting their spines?
Speaker 9: It is a mental illness and the idea that we
Speaker 9: are allowing this to happen. And again it is common
Speaker 9: refraining to say, look, transgender people, if you want to,
Speaker 9: you know, if you find but you know, make sure
Speaker 9: that you're an adult. Just leave the kids alone. No,
Speaker 9: I don't even agree with that. I don't think anybody
Speaker 9: should be allowed to endure these kinds of surgeries. In
Speaker 9: these alterations, they're mutilating themselves. And I don't know in
Speaker 9: what civilized society that became acceptable, So I would say
Speaker 9: that I'm even more radicalized on this. I don't think
Speaker 9: that these surgeries should be allowed on anyone.
Speaker 6: I think it is a.
Speaker 9: Sickness that has been allowed to fester for too long,
Speaker 9: and because of the opification of this country, we have
Speaker 9: allowed mentally ill people to sort of appear.
Speaker 6: Normal, or we're trying to normalize mental illness.
Speaker 9: These people deserve compassion and treatment, not encouragement to do
Speaker 9: these horrible things to their body.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a mental disease.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine if I if somebody would I identify
Speaker 1: as a blind man, I'll go to an optalmologist and
Speaker 1: have him take out my eyes. That not optalmologists would
Speaker 1: look at him and say, what do you want me
Speaker 1: to do?
Speaker 3: I'm not doing that, And.
Speaker 9: If not optimologist did it, he would lose his license.
Speaker 9: This is medical malpractice. And honestly, Billy, what they've done
Speaker 9: to children in this country, not to mention full grown adults,
Speaker 9: there are an awful lot of doctors, an awful lot
Speaker 9: of doctors who belong in jail for a long long
Speaker 9: time to what they've done.
Speaker 1: Let me play devil's advocate. Let's say you have a
Speaker 1: fourteen year old girl who is believing in the culture.
Speaker 1: It is a thing to me, shall we say, alternative
Speaker 1: in among girls, especially girls, but some boys.
Speaker 3: In high school.
Speaker 1: Something like twenty five percent of the women that go
Speaker 1: to college identify as LGBTQ plus, which is factually, biologically,
Speaker 1: scientifically wrong, but they identify as such. So the culture
Speaker 1: is telling this girl, who maybe is a tomboy, that
Speaker 1: you're a man locked in a woman's body. That the
Speaker 1: parent are in liberals. They're certainly supporters of MS thirteen
Speaker 1: members who are wife beaters and gang members who've tattooed
Speaker 1: MS thirteen or in their knuckles, but don't identify that
Speaker 1: person as with MS thirteen.
Speaker 3: Don't do that. And then you go to the doctor.
Speaker 1: You go to the family doctor, and the family doctor says,
Speaker 1: you know what, we have to transition this child to
Speaker 1: the male body, which is in the female body. And
Speaker 1: then you go to a children's hospital and the children's
Speaker 1: hospital says, you know what, we have a whole branch
Speaker 1: of our hospital that deals with this. So the parent
Speaker 1: is told, you're going to have a live daughter or
Speaker 1: a dead son.
Speaker 3: Those are your two choices. If you don't do it,
Speaker 3: what do you say to a mom or dad In
Speaker 3: some states now, if you don't consent, the state will
Speaker 3: take your child away and do it anyway.
Speaker 1: I would say move out of that state. But what
Speaker 1: do you say, what do you say about that parent
Speaker 1: that is between a rock and a hard place.
Speaker 9: Well, the facts matter in this, and I would encourage
Speaker 9: everyone to challenge any medical professional who gives you that
Speaker 9: binary choice, because they do like binary choices when it
Speaker 9: comes to whether or not to get your son or
Speaker 9: daughter mutilated.
Speaker 6: They're fine, it's a.
Speaker 9: Yes or no answer, and if it's no, you're an
Speaker 9: abuser and you should have your child children taken away.
Speaker 9: And if that sounds insane, it's because it is.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 9: The data is very clear on this. Children who have
Speaker 9: body dysphoria are unable to sort of accept it is
Speaker 9: a mental condition. And if they are unable to accept
Speaker 9: the bodies that they are, and they generally grow out.
Speaker 6: Of it by their early twenties, most of these kids
Speaker 6: have look, I don't know if you remember when you
Speaker 6: were thirteen.
Speaker 9: I was a lunatic when I was thirteen.
Speaker 6: I thought I could fly.
Speaker 9: Okay, honestly I was so I was such a mess
Speaker 9: when I was thirteen years old, and thankfully my parents.
Speaker 6: Sort of said, she'll grow out of it, and she did.
Speaker 9: I mean, I wasn't that much of a mess, but
Speaker 9: I really had some crazy ideas when I was thirteen, and.
Speaker 6: My parents knew I would grow out of it. Kids, puberty, it.
Speaker 9: Is a difficult time. Do not The idea that we
Speaker 9: act on any desire of any thirteen year old is
Speaker 9: absolutely absurd to me. Look if your son or daughter
Speaker 9: comes to you and wants to drive when they're twelve
Speaker 9: years old, do you let them?
Speaker 6: Do you let them vape? Do you let them consume alcohol?
Speaker 6: Do you let them engage in sexual activity? No, you
Speaker 6: wouldn't do that.
Speaker 9: So why in the world would you actually act on
Speaker 9: a thirteen year old, a fourteen year old, a fifteen
Speaker 9: year old, and frankly even older.
Speaker 6: Young adulthood is tough.
Speaker 9: These children mostly grow out of it, and for those
Speaker 9: who don't, there is counseling to help them live, perhaps
Speaker 9: in a body they don't actually like.
Speaker 6: Look it is.
Speaker 9: Really dangerous to alter a child's body and to even
Speaker 9: sort of entertain these ideas with a child. You have
Speaker 9: to stand strong and you have to be really a
Speaker 9: leader for your child and explain to them that God
Speaker 9: doesn't make mistakes. The body you were born into is
Speaker 9: the body you were supposed to be in. So I
Speaker 9: really urge parents, ignore, deny, move out of the state
Speaker 9: if you need to. If they have these kinds of
Speaker 9: criminalizing rules, it's a tough time to be a parent.
Speaker 9: My sympathy goes it goes out to people, but do
Speaker 9: not listen to doctors who advise this to parents.
Speaker 1: And in fact, the Supreme Court is going to rule
Speaker 1: in this, hopefully by June. And Colorado has a law
Speaker 1: that says that if you move out of the state
Speaker 1: and Colorado design it to recognize the regulations laws of
Speaker 1: other states. That would mean that if you're married in
Speaker 1: Virginia and a couple moves to Florida, Florida and it
Speaker 1: doesn't have to recognize the marriage in Virginia, which is
Speaker 1: a bunch of bs. So hopefully the court will come
Speaker 1: in and say, you know what, states cannot radicalize children
Speaker 1: and transitioning can't be taught things that parents don't want
Speaker 1: to be taught. School choice is an important issue. Now,
Speaker 1: lastly about women in sports and radicalization and women in college.
Speaker 1: Can you tell me why there's a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: conservative movement going on, especially among the young. But you
Speaker 1: send you're a girl of your sound off to college,
Speaker 1: they come back with multi colored hair, living at altarnative lifestyle,
Speaker 1: with a metal in their nose. What the hell is
Speaker 1: going on with college today?
Speaker 9: Well, listen, you gotta be careful Bowers. Your kids go
Speaker 9: off to college. But that is why it is so
Speaker 9: important to talk to your children before they're there, Before
Speaker 9: they're free to go to college and they're living out
Speaker 9: of your size and out of your You need to
Speaker 9: give your children a very good sort of basic understanding
Speaker 9: of you know, why you believe the way you do,
Speaker 9: why you vote the way you do, why you go
Speaker 9: to church, why you're Christian or Jewish or whatever you are,
Speaker 9: Why why you believe the way you do.
Speaker 6: You've got to talk to your kids.
Speaker 9: I mean, I think that too often people just assume
Speaker 9: their kids will turn out conservative because they were conservative.
Speaker 9: That is no longer the case, and you have to understand.
Speaker 6: I think you know.
Speaker 9: Look, we look back in the forties and fifties people
Speaker 9: went off to college and there wasn't sort of this
Speaker 9: desire to to sort of capture kids, right to change them. Today,
Speaker 9: that's all they want to do. They really do want
Speaker 9: to ende doctrinate kids. They really do want to indoctrinate.
Speaker 6: At a very young age.
Speaker 9: So this is happening earlier now. I mean here in
Speaker 9: Fairfax County, Virginia, there is a part of the sort
Speaker 9: of sex ed education that literally wants to teach elementary
Speaker 9: school school children about alternative It's a nice family show,
Speaker 9: so I'll just say alternative sexual behaviors. It is just
Speaker 9: astonishing what the Democrats want to do and how they
Speaker 9: want to indoctrinate the youngest children.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 9: So again, parents, you really have to get your kids
Speaker 9: a good education, if that requires.
Speaker 6: Getting the map of the public school, take them to.
Speaker 9: Church, talk to them, talk to them about why you
Speaker 9: believe the way you do.
Speaker 6: Giving them that strong foundation.
Speaker 9: Will help them survive the awful years of liberal education
Speaker 9: in college.
Speaker 1: Well, if some boy or girls in the third, fourth,
Speaker 1: or fifth grade, they don't have to know about alternative
Speaker 1: sexual practices, they don't have to know as a toddler.
Speaker 1: Some liberal schools identify toddlers as man female, and most
Speaker 1: toddlers have a hard time controlling their bowels. They don't
Speaker 1: have to be informed about alternative lifestyles that you have
Speaker 1: to choose when you're five years old. By the way,
Speaker 1: little Jimmy, are you a boy or a girl?
Speaker 5: Goo?
Speaker 3: Google what? And so there's a.
Speaker 1: Radicalization and indoctrination happening, and it's got to stop. And
Speaker 1: I hope that I have hope the Supreme Court will
Speaker 1: say parents. Of course, a bunch of liberal parents with
Speaker 1: these silly ass signs in their yards talking about signs
Speaker 1: is real, but not when it comes to men and
Speaker 1: women x X and xy, then science is not real. Well,
Speaker 1: Julie Gunlock, we have to run but IWF Independent Women's
