WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:09.439 Bill Cunningham, the Great American, and welcome this Thursday afternoon 2 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.240 in the tri State. Getting ready, of course for the 3 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.560 Bengals and the Birds on Sundays, bigger than Montana. They 4 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:16.679 have no flexing at all. They've got to win the game. 5 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:18.399 They got to keep winning, winning, winning, and see what 6 00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.679 happens down the road. Also, a college hoop's about to 7 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.640 kick off in the big game this weekend, of course, 8 00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:28.440 is the Bearcats at Dion Sanders's Colorado. Buffalo's bigger than Montana. 9 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:30.600 But Jonan, you and I now is Rob Sanders, the 10 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.280 man who controls northern Kentucky with an iron grip. And 11 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.840 Rob Sanders, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And 12 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.159 first of all, Tony Bender is in the dark about 13 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.320 Kentucky Issues one and two. He hasn't read much about it. 14 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.039 He's going to have to vote pretty soon. Can you 15 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.679 give us a capsule? Much like Constitutional Amendment Number one 16 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.039 in Ohio, the Americans should vote no on that in 17 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.280 Kentucky one and two, can you give us a capsule 18 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:55.280 on each? If anything? 19 00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.640 Willie, thanks for having me back on and lord knows, 20 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.079 I'll be happy when we get the select over. Let's 21 00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.359 get into this real quick and try and keep it 22 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.920 as simple as possible. The Issue Number one on Kentucky's 23 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.799 ballot is a constitutional amendment to close a little bit 24 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.879 of a loophole that we have had that it really 25 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:14.799 hadn't been a problem in Kentucky, but it has been 26 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.560 a problem in some other states. So Kentucky is being proactive. 27 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:23.920 The Republican General Assembly noticed that our state constitution says 28 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.640 you must be a citizen to vote in Kentucky. However, 29 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.159 there is nothing in that state constitution that says if 30 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.840 you are not a citizen of the United States or 31 00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.200 of Kentucky, that you cannot vote in Kentucky. So I 32 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.959 believe there's been some other states. Virginia, Georgia comes to mind. 33 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.200 I think there's a few other Republican controlled states where 34 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.719 the Department of Justice has tried to interfere with the 35 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.599 state's elections saying, hey, we know your constitution says that 36 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.000 you have to be a citizen to vote, but there's 37 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.959 nothing that says non citizens can't vote. So our Republican 38 00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.239 legislature is being proactive. They're going to try and close 39 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.640 that loophole. The Issue number one would change our constitution 40 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:05.879 to say, not only do you have to be a 41 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.879 citizen to vote, but if you're not a citizen, you 42 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.439 can't vote. Seems like common sense to me, but apparently 43 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.919 these days common sense has to be spilled out word 44 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:14.319 for work. 45 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.400 Now on that issue. Last night, I'm watching your good 46 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.919 friend Kamala Harris, and the word salads were like at 47 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.479 a Frish's salad bar. They were all over the place, 48 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:25.400 making no sense. 49 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.199 But one thing she did salad bar was that good Willie, 50 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:29.879 they wouldn't be going out of business. 51 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.599 That's a great point. I may lose my Frish's super 52 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.360 big boy, take out the middle layer of bread. I 53 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.879 want to save some calories and give me some onion 54 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.240 rings well done. And on the side, if you don't 55 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.840 mind a little bit of Coleslaw in addition to that, 56 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.240 give me a cherry coke, and if you don't mind 57 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.039 a hot fudge cake. Don't tell my wife about that. 58 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.280 But I regress now she's really we just came up 59 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.240 with a problem now that we didn't realize. You and 60 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.000 I have been a hot fudge Sunday on the outcome 61 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.039 of the presidential election. Of course I did not bet 62 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.639 on the vice president. That was the horse that you chose. 63 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.120 I bet on President Trump, but it's a hot pudge Sunday. 64 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.719 Where are we going to get our hot pudge Sundays? 65 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.159 If Frisians closes down and they all go bankrupt. 66 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.719 I think Wall's hitching posts must have a stink. We'll 67 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.479 take the place. We'll call it even because you owe 68 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.560 me a dinner anyway, but you're trying to change the 69 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.960 subject on me. Kamala Harris said last night that there 70 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.120 needs to be a pathway to citizenship for all those illegals, 71 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.039 something like twenty to forty million Moreitanians and Lithuanians and 72 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.240 also Haitians. What happens if the Congress in Washington, the 73 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.599 Democrats win everything House, Senate presidency, they get rid of 74 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.400 the filibuster, of course, and then pass the national law 75 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.919 that says illegals become citizens and they can vote immediately, 76 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.400 which is what the Democrats want to do. How does 77 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.199 issue one interact with that? Give me a full report. 78 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.919 Well, it would be in conflict with what they would 79 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:52.280 do nationally. But I believe the states that there is 80 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.680 precedent that the states control their own elections as long 81 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.520 as they are not passing laws that discriminate on the 82 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.439 basis of race creed to real religion. That the states 83 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.879 control their own elections. So if the states say you 84 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:05.759 have to be a citizen to vote in a state, 85 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.599 I don't think the federal government can trump that. Nevertheless, 86 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:14.639 it would certainly create a legal mess if you have Washington, 87 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.279 d C. Doing the thirst they can to muck up 88 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.120 state elections and to try and take over states that 89 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.480 are notably not blue states, not liberal states, you know, 90 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.920 the Kentucky's, the Ohio's, virtually every place that's not on 91 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.600 a coast, and they would be trying to take over 92 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.000 and hijack those states so that they can impose the 93 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.879 will of the liberals and the big cities on the 94 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.079 coast on US. I don't think we're going to let 95 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.800 that happen. Willy, and hopefully God Willing and the Crigtom 96 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.360 Rise will have a good outcome in the presidential election, which, 97 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.920 by the way, Willy, is only the third most important 98 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:52.079 election on the ballot come November fifth, because as you 99 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.959 and I both know, of course, number one is my 100 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.800 election because I'm up for reelection. Fortunately I'm not running 101 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.439 against anybody, so that number one I'm pretty sure I'll 102 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.759 remember to vote for myself and we'll check that one off. 103 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.680 But number two is re electing Melyssa Powers. Unfortunately I 104 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.439 can't vote in that one. That's all up to the 105 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.680 good citizens of Hamilton County to make the right choice 106 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.160 and make sure they keep us all safe, because anything 107 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.399 that goes wrong in Hamilton County, because of the size 108 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.800 of the county number of people, is bound to influence 109 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.000 everybody else in Greater Cincinnati. No matter what county you're in, 110 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.319 whether it's Kenton, Boom, Campbell, Butler, claremont As, Hamilton County 111 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.839 goes at least to some extent, so goes the rest 112 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.680 Greater Cincinnati. So it's definitely important, I hate to use 113 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.360 that ironic term, but definitely important that we re elect 114 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.079 Melissa Powers and return her and her team to the 115 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.199 prosecutor's office in Hamilton County so we have some semblance 116 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.680 of sanity left in Hamilton County. We can't turn that 117 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.319 prosecutor's office over to the lunatic liberals like the judges 118 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.319 that they've been electing lately in Hamilton County. Third most 119 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.279 important election is the presidency. 120 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.800 Well, Melissa Powers. Hamilton County is fifty percent of the 121 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.319 try state Hamilton County's got about eight hundred thousand. And 122 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.199 the Tri State, so to speak, whichever counties you include 123 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.839 in the Tri State include Indiana, kentuckut Ohio has about 124 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.680 two million, And so you're talking about about forty to 125 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.759 fifty percent of the whole and most of the crime, 126 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.439 believe it or not, as in Hamlin County. If you 127 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.120 do just crime, probably the crime is seventy five percent 128 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.800 in Hamletin County. And he give the prosecutor's office to 129 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:27.199 Countie Pillage, who's never tried a felony case in her life, 130 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.120 who didn't have a law license until last year, and 131 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.800 she simply wants to get on the ballot and get 132 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.079 elected because it's a D next to her name. And 133 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:41.319 I would hope suburbanites might say, and including black folks 134 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.160 in the West and East End, who say, you know what, 135 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.000 we can't do this to us because black Americans want 136 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.199 the same law enforcement as white and brown Americans. We 137 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.519 can't have an inexperienced county prosecutor who's never tried a 138 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.920 case over another one who's been involved in one hundred 139 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.319 and fifty thousand cases. I can't believe Hamley down you 140 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.279 would do that but I have my doubts. Move on 141 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:02.920 to number two. 142 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.839 In the state of Kentucky, Place Issue Number two is 143 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.160 a ballot initiative that would amend the state constitution to 144 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.120 allow the state to spend money on private. 145 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.519 School educations, typically in the form of vouchers. I believe 146 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.920 that's how they've done it in other states. Currently, the 147 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.279 state constitution in Kentucky says that the state may only 148 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.839 spend tax dollars on public education. This would change that, 149 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.399 not to defund the public schools, not to take any 150 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.040 money away from the public schools. That's not what this 151 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.120 initiative says. What it says is that the state could 152 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.560 help students that want to go to private schools, especially 153 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.399 those that can't already go to private schools, could help 154 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.240 them in the form of vouchers, so that they would 155 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.920 have true school choice, that they could choose any school, 156 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:54.000 public school, private school. The part of the constitution that 157 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.720 says the state is required to fund public schools would 158 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:01.079 not be changed. Public schools are still constantittionally required to 159 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.319 be funded. That would not change one bit. The only 160 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.959 thing it would do is help the poorer students in 161 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.920 our state have an opportunity and access to private school education, 162 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:16.639 which currently only wealthy families do because it is trust me, 163 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.639 I know this from personal experience. Really, it is quite 164 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.439 expensive to send your kid to private school. I know 165 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:27.000 that all too well. But unfortunately there's kids that don't, 166 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.439 whose families don't have the resources and the income to 167 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.759 be able to fund a private school education. And if 168 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.679 you're in a failing school district, which even though we 169 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.399 have some very good public schools locally in northern Kentucky, 170 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.559 not all of them are successful. Some of them are 171 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:47.399 woefully failing to educate the kids, get them ready to 172 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:49.720 head off to college or head into the job market. 173 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.639 It would give any child of any economic background the 174 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.360 opportunity for the state to assist them in going to 175 00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.559 a private school so that hopefully they can come out 176 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.639 of that private at school ready to go to college 177 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.000 or ready to go into the workhouse. 178 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.039 You know. On that front again, Kamala Harris. And I'm 179 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.639 told that Tony Bender may have a Kamala Harris sign 180 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.720 in his front yard. I have my doubts, but he might. 181 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:13.759 Say he does. 182 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:15.840 He's probably the only guy in Boom County that does. 183 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.519 I can't imagine there's too many of them out there. 184 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.720 Everybody's going to know where Tony Bender the one Harris 185 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:21.840 sign in Boom County. 186 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.639 Well, she has said repeatedly that she wants to get 187 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.440 rid of these vouchers, which is hurting public education. And 188 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.960 she says that if states don't ban those, what Kamala 189 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.360 Harris is going to do is take away state funding 190 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.440 for public education in the state of Kentucky. So in 191 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.039 addition to Issue one, which illegals are going to start voting, 192 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.000 now you got issue too, which is there goes to 193 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.879 vouchers in Ohio. By the way, Ohio is a large 194 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.399 voucher program. I know many families who send their kids 195 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.919 to a different public school that's functional order a private, 196 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:58.080 procile or Catholic school. They get like eight thousand dollars 197 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:02.200 a year. All those programs gone. If Kamala Harris wins 198 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.600 the presidency and orders the Apartment of Education to put 199 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.440 out a directive to all the state boards of education 200 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.600 that you cannot have a voucher program, imagine the chaos 201 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.000 in Ohio, Kentucky and Nan if that happens, I address 202 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.360 yourself to that issue. Now, you got me all pissed 203 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.399 off in this out and I don't know what to say. 204 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:26.879 Imagine defunding private, parchial and charter schools because Kamala Harris says, 205 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.879 I got elected, I said to what I'm gonna do, 206 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:32.519 and I'm gonna do it. How about that one, Rob Sanders, Well. 207 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.320 For starters, Willie, nobody in the Biden Harris administration has 208 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.159 done much of anything that they said they were going 209 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.639 to do since they've been there. They haven't done a 210 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.120 whole lot of anything for the last three and a 211 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:41.919 half years. So I don't know that I take her 212 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.039 all that seriously on anything she says. Nevertheless, I can't 213 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.279 imagine that she would ever follow through with that threatn 214 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.639 Here's why, Willie. There is no way on earth that 215 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:57.120 she is going to defund public schools in states that 216 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:01.639 have voucher programs. If that those states know that it's coming, 217 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.200 and if you talk about states that have Republican governors, 218 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.600 especially like Texas, like Florida, like Ohio, and those states 219 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:10.960 stick to their guns and they say, no, we're keeping 220 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.320 the vouchers. We dare you to unfund us. Can you 221 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.320 imagine the pushback? I mean, you think there's pushback in 222 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:19.799 Kentucky now about this whole issue too thing from the 223 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.279 public schools and the teachers unions. Can you imagine the 224 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.080 pushback that they would get, not just from Republicans, but 225 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.440 from Democrats alike and teachers unions alike. And it would 226 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:32.320 be like cats and dogs living together in terms of 227 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.200 the alliances that would be formed. If she tried to 228 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.840 carry out the threat to unfund public schools in those 229 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.639 states that kept vouchers, I just don't see that happening. 230 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.679 There's too many d's that are employed by public schools 231 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.480 that are members of the teachers unions. There's too many 232 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.240 rs that likewise work for public schools, whether they are 233 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.559 or or not members of the teachers union. They would 234 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.720 still rise up. Half of everybody in Kentucky is either 235 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.679 related to a teacher, married do a teacher. He's got 236 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.440 a brother or a sister that's a teacher. I'm sure 237 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.320 it's the way in all these other states as well. 238 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.159 I don't think that, if God forbid, we have a 239 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.519 President Harris, that she would ever be able to follow 240 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.000 through on that threat and do away with the vouchers. 241 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.120 It's really something public education should be controlled by the states, 242 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.440 not the federal government. And that's one very good reason. Why. 243 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.679 You know, if California or New York doesn't want a 244 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.919 vouch your system, don't have a voucher system. But if 245 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.279 Ohio wants it, then Ohio should have it. Socian Kentucky, 246 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.320 and it should be local control. 247 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.799 That's another reason to have Supreme Court justices that follow 248 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.360 law and don't make law up. I think as long 249 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.039 as we have a somewhat conservative Supreme Court, there's a 250 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.399 good chance that action might be ruled as unconstitutional. But 251 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.039 who knows. But a lot of things are on the ballot. 252 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.639 And lastly, before I let you go, there's been a 253 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.519 lot of reporting on the Scott High School principal. Hopefully 254 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.200 I'm saying his last name correctly, Tony Pracaccino. I think 255 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.799 I know your answer, but I'm going to ask the 256 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.120 question anyway. There's been headlines in the Tri State about 257 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.919 the Scott High School principal is under criminal investigation by 258 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.919 Rob Sanders. What can you tell us about the Scott 259 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.279 High School principle, this Procacino character, and what he allegedly 260 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:09.960 did of anything. 261 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.120 Well, first of all, Willie, I've never named the Scott 262 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.279 High School principle because frankly, I don't even know what 263 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.480 the Scott High School principal's name is. I know the 264 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.519 media has named him, and they've been thrown around that 265 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.960 same name that you are. I don't even know the 266 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.399 principal's name. I do know this that there is an 267 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:29.679 investigation by the Kenton County Police Department. They have informed 268 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.759 of me about that investigation long enough for me to 269 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.799 know that there have been no allegations up until this 270 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.480 point of any felonious conduct. That means that if there 271 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.440 are any crimes that have been committed, that they are misdemeanors, 272 00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.039 and if their misdemeanors in Kentucky, they're not my problem 273 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.320 because the county attorney has to prosecute misdemeanor offenses. I 274 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.159 only handle misdemeanors when they're connected to felonies, and the 275 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.799 Kenton County Police have told me, if we find a felony, 276 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.360 we'll call you back, but otherwise we don't have it 277 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.320 right now. The only reason I said anything in the 278 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.879 media about this case is because when news broke that 279 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.360 there was an investigation, all of a sudden, my email 280 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.799 blew up, my phone calls blew up, my text messages, 281 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.559 blew up everybody wanted to know, with somebody raped, with 282 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.639 somebody sexually abused, is he dating a student that sort 283 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.200 of thing? And I looked into it long enough to 284 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.360 know that it doesn't involve anything sexual. If it did, 285 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.639 those would be felonies, and that would be my problem. 286 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.440 That would be my work. We've done that too many times, 287 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:25.240 more than i'd like to count in the past, at 288 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:29.039 other schools, other places, other suspects. But this investigation, to 289 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.960 my knowledge, as far aheads, no allegations of felonious conduct. 290 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.200 So it sounds like he's in trouble with his employer. 291 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.639 He may very well be in trouble with the law, 292 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.080 but it won't be this office, and it's not my investigation. 293 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.600 So that one I have already moved on from Willie, 294 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.440 and that'll be another prosecutor's problem if it goes to 295 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:47.399 prosecution at all. 296 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.279 Well, you know, lie circle the globe before truth can 297 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.840 take its first step, And so something like this arises, 298 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.320 you immediately go towards sexual misconduct or something. And as 299 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.320 far as you know, this early Thursday afternoon, there's no 300 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:05.759 allegations this principal committed a felony. No allegations at this point. 301 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.960 Is that correct, that's correct. 302 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.080 No allegations to this point of anything that would rise 303 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.080 to the level of felony. I can't tell you that 304 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.159 if the allegations are true, he's definitely in trouble, don't 305 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.559 get me wrong, But it's not enough trouble that he 306 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:19.639 becomes my problem. 307 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.080 Don't understand it. I don't know how principals and teachers 308 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.600 get involved with the students in today's world. I would 309 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:27.840 point out that at Deer Park High School, when I 310 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:32.080 went there, my history typing teacher whose last name I 311 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:36.240 will not use, openly dated a senior high school girl, 312 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:40.720 went to dances together with her football games, and when 313 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.679 we had our fiftieth high school reunion, walking in the 314 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:47.080 door was that same high school teacher and his wife 315 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.039 of some forty nine years, the girl that he was dating, 316 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.840 who was a senior. They got married when she graduated. 317 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.559 They're happy, they got kids and grandkids. In life couldn't 318 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.840 be any better. Those are the may I say, those 319 00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:58.919 are different times. 320 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.360 Different times, Willie, and I know we've had cases since 321 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.399 I've been in office where it's come in a teacher 322 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.799 having to relate a sexual relationship with an underage student. 323 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.120 Some have gone to prison. All that I've prosecuted have 324 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.440 gone to prison. There has been some I haven't prosecuted 325 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.799 that other prosecutors have handled that have not gone to prison. 326 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.279 But we've actually had cases where those teachers went on 327 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:23.039 to marry their students, which we also called their victims. 328 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.799 But it does happen still today, that that a defendant 329 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:29.840 will end up marrying their victim. It still makes my 330 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.360 head spend, makes me wonder how anybody could get involved 331 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.200 in that kind of situation. But times have changed. They're 332 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.320 held to a different standard. But that doesn't mean the 333 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:39.720 same things not still going on. 334 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:43.000 It's going on. And I asked him because I knew him, well, 335 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.679 I didn't know she was here ahead of man, and 336 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.480 I saw him and I said, let me ask you 337 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.879 a question. I said, mister, so and so, how did 338 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.039 you start dating as senior? He said. I went to 339 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.840 her mother and father and asked permission and they said okay, fine, 340 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.440 It's like, okay, whatever it is. It worked, and God 341 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.840 bless them. Right, Rob Sanders, we got to run, but 342 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.279 I'm glad you cleared up the Scott High School situation. 343 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.960 In statushe wanted two and for those who have those 344 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.160 Harris signs all over Boone County. I wish them well 345 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.599 because they're wrong. But once again, Rob Sanders, thank you 346 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.200 for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Rob, hopefully just 347 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:18.839 before the election, will do it again. Thank you. 348 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.640 Rob sounds great. Willie, thanks for having me on. I 349 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:22.680 look forward to the next time. 350 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.519 God bless America. Let's continue with more somehow you ask 351 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.559 mom and dad permission and say, oh, that's fine. I'm thinking, Wow, 352 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.640 things have changed. I'm not sure for the better. Because 353 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:36.440 if the mother and father say okay, and the seventeen 354 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.680 year old girl says okay, and they've been married for 355 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.160 at that point forty nine years and they got kids 356 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:46.200 and grandkids, what the hell? Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven 357 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:51.559 hundred WLW. All right, Billy Cunningham, the Great American? Can 358 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.279 you hear? Can you smell what's being cooked here? Can 359 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:58.440 you understand that Hamlet and County is the heart that 360 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.079 beats the entire Try state, the four or five Indiana counties, 361 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:05.240 the nine or ten Kentucky counties, the seven or eight 362 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.960 Southwest Ohio counties. We are the heart in Hamley County 363 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.799 that beats the whole thing. And don't you think we're 364 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:16.640 teetering into an abyss that we do not want to 365 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.599 enter that you see other American cities go through, and 366 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.119 Cincinnati's not quite there. And I think about my experiences 367 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:27.839 with Blink and how positive it was. Five hundred thousand 368 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.720 people a night. It was unbelievable, packed and stacked, and 369 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:36.880 no serious incidents because police presence was ubiquitous. I saw 370 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.839 CPD and Charmaine mcguffey's men and women everywhere, and there 371 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.559 was a sense that we can do this, It's okay. 372 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.759 And then I get up this morning. Five year old 373 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.039 boys in critical condition after drive by shooting in Winton Hills. 374 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.480 According to police, the drive by took place at six am. 375 00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.519 The five year old boys in critical condition. You heard 376 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.200 from her mother child taking the children's and they're looking 377 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.559 for the person that did it. Simply spraying a community 378 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:08.920 with bullets at six o'clock in the morning. Five year 379 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.400 old probably in the right place, and it's bad the 380 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.759 right time, and it's happening repeatedly. How about Wanted Hills 381 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.359 with youth football. How about the fact that according to 382 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.559 Fox nineteen that did a story two or three years 383 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:27.240 ago on the results of a shot spotter, which are 384 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:32.400 these listening devices that discriminate between car backfires and maybe 385 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.400 fireworks and actually shots, because shots is we're seeking to 386 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.000 prohibit and still being used a little bit, because it 387 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.920 tells police what's happening in the community when no one 388 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.880 calls in nine to one to one. Those who live 389 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.359 in the West End, the East End, Evanston, Avondale want 390 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.079 badly good police and good prosecution because they're the ones 391 00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:56.839 who punish and are punished by the prices of failure 392 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.319 of left wing democratic politics. They're the ones who pay 393 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.200 the price, not so much those of us who live 394 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.839 in Mason or Villa Hills or Kenwood. I was talking 395 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:09.880 to a friend of mine at a club with Kenwell 396 00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:12.680 Country Club and I asked, I'll give you his first 397 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:14.519 name is Wally, and I said, have you ever heard 398 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.519 a gunshot fired in anger in your community? And he 399 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.359 said no, And I said, well, the only time I 400 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.200 heard gunshots is when I lived in Avondale. I heard 401 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:29.279
