WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:09.640 You're all right, let's continue out Bill. They cunning down 2 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.000 the Great America, and this glorious Tuesday afternoon of the 3 00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:15.320 Tri States sun is everywhere quite unusual. The governor is 4 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.839 very busy today. It's a big day in the state capital. 5 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.519 He's giving us a few moments. And Governor Mike Dwine, 6 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.320 welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Let's be direct 7 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.679 about this Governor, and appears that I know those of 8 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.719 us who live here, and you live close to here, 9 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.719 understand that four to seventy one bridge is a total catastrophe. 10 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.320 My producer Tony Bender lives in Boone County. Going back 11 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.439 every ninety miles A live in Columbus. It takes two 12 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.200 hours to get there. And you might recall Governor back 13 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:42.920 in the good old days when there was a crash 14 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.640 on the cut in the Hill in northern Kentucky, that trucks, 15 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.399 unless they're making local deliveries, had to go all around 16 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.079 two seventy five and Okai and City Council, you're good 17 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.119 friends on City Council. The liberal Democrats would like to 18 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.439 have your ear to say, Governor, can you require trucks 19 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.679 to take eye two seventy five? All the way around 20 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.400 to alleviate the suffering of the people in southwest Ohio. 21 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.400 And we feel as if governor were being ignored. You 22 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.719 can't ignore us in Columbus. Can you tell the American 23 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.239 people what you can do? Will you give a serious 24 00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.400 thought order the truckers to go to seventy five to 25 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.400 alleviate some of the suffering? What do you think? 26 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:20.920 Yeah, I don't know if we can do that, Bill, 27 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.920 I can certainly check on that, whether we can have 28 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.480 legal authority to do that. 29 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.000 This is a in a state, as you know. But 30 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.439 here's kind of the update. 31 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.359 The this construction. 32 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:36.560 The girders. 33 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:42.200 Steel girders are actually being fabricated as we speak in 34 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.319 Bowling Green, Kentucky. And as soon as those are ready 35 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:51.359 they're supposed to be delivered on January thirteenth, then we'll 36 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.359 do everything to get them up. We've got a target 37 00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.079 date mid March, but frankly, I'm pushing ODOT and I 38 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.719 think we can get them up sooner than that. I 39 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.959 hope as early as mid February. So we will, we will, 40 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.000 we will see. But uh, you know, that's that's that's 41 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.879 the problem. It's uh, you know, we got we got 42 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.919 to get things from Bowling Green, Kentucky. That's where they're 43 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:18.879 being fabricated. 44 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.479 So will you give thought to this idea about the 45 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.280 trucks for the next two months off to seventy five? 46 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.280 If if you have the legal authority to do it, 47 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.919 some say you do, some say you don't. But if 48 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:32.879 you have the authority, will you do it to help 49 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:34.080 the people of Cincinnati. 50 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:36.199 Well, we're gonna look at that. 51 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:37.319 Bill. 52 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.759 The council have not contacted me, but you you you 53 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.199 told me that a few minutes ago off the air, 54 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.280 and so we will certainly check and see what else 55 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.719 that we can do and whether we have a kind 56 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.599 of legal authority in regard to that. I mean, again, 57 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.759 this is an interstate commerce, so we're directly dealing with 58 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:55.719 interstate commerce. 59 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.479 And as you know, Bill, you're a lawyer. 60 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:03.159 Uh so you've got we've got some potential problems in 61 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.960 regard to doing that. But let me I'm asking our 62 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.000 warriors to look at it, and we're going to take 63 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:08.520 a look at it. 64 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.520 Secondly, there's one of the big issues is your appointment 65 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.280 to the United States Senate seat. There's many people that 66 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.039 are just sending you flowers and candy. There's doing everything 67 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.919 in their power four or five. Frank LeRose wants it. 68 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.879 Jane Timpkin, who I like, likes it, and there's several 69 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.080 others that would like to have this thing. John Houstad, 70 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.120 your second in command. He's kind of the Mike Pensive Ohio. 71 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.560 He's kind of like Kamala Harris. He's second in command. 72 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.159 And many are saying you're going to point him to 73 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.639 it and then opens up the lieutenant governor's seat. But 74 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.120 Jane Timpkin and that she's ready to go for governor. 75 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.879 I don't want to ask you anything personal or privately 76 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.560 about this, but what the hell are you going to do? 77 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:45.919 That's what I like to know. When you got to 78 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.120 January twentieth, I guess what in the heck is the 79 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:50.960 governor going to do with that Senate seat. 80 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.400 Well, it's a big decision, and I am, as you say, 81 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.919 the interviewing people. I've interviewed a number of people and 82 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.280 interviewed another this morning. Frankly, a lot of people, as 83 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.560 you can imagine, are interested in that. Look, there's only 84 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.280 one hundred US centers. We only get two, so it's 85 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.560 an important it's an important pick. And just to let 86 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.079 everybody know how this works, my appointment would serve another 87 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.680 two years, then would have to run in twenty twenty six. 88 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.759 If they won in twenty twenty six and one. 89 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.439 To continue we're serving the Senate, they'd have to run 90 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.360 in twenty twenty eight. So it's a very unusual situation 91 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.920 for someone. You know, normally these are six year terms, 92 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:38.800 but this is filling out an unexpired term of jd Vance. 93 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.040 So we think Dvance, you know, will probably. 94 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.920 Resign sometime, you know, obviously before noon on January twentieth. 95 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.879 I'm not sure exactly what date. And my goal is 96 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.480 to have someone ready to go by then and once 97 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.439 you know, we make the selection. Once I make the selection, 98 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:04.720 we certainly will will announce that and I know we 99 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.160 will be tearing that on on WLW. So it's an 100 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.199 important decision. 101 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:10.319 Uh. 102 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.600 You know, I've spent twelve years in the United States Senate. 103 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.160 I think I have some idea of what it takes 104 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.519 take someone who wants to go there and work, someone 105 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.319 who has a grasp and understanding of Ohio. You know, 106 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.839 bill is a very diverse state with kind of a 107 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.600 state of city states, you know, seven or eight major cities, 108 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.120 and you know, one part of the state very different 109 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:33.720 than the other part of the States. We need someone 110 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.720 who understands the diversity of the States, someone who's going 111 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.879 to be a champion. 112 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.120 For for US. I say Us, I mean Ohio. 113 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.439 And also someone who you know, it's going to be 114 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:49.000 have to deal with foreign affairs. 115 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:49.959 They're gonna have to deal with. 116 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.879 All the issues that we need anybody who's in the 117 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.160 United States Senate has to deal with. We also have 118 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.920 to have someone who's willing to run twice. You know, 119 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.920 it's not tough going to pick someone just to you know, 120 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.199 to take the term for two years. Now, there's a 121 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.160 story that you might volunteer for that, but I'm not 122 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:10.759 going to do that. 123 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.839 Well I know, I mean, I'd be like Willie goes 124 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.519 to Washington, that it'll be a major story for two years. 125 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.959 But I've often said I would not be in an 126 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.480 organization that would admit me as a member. And the 127 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.680 idea of serving for two years is attractive, but the 128 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.199 idea of running twice is unattractive. I will if selected, 129 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.240 I will not run. I'm telling you right now, I 130 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.120 know how much you would like me, but I will 131 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.040 not run in twenty twenty six, and I will not 132 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.240 run in twenty twenty eight. So the criteria, as I 133 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.160 understand it, Number one, you need a quality person who 134 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.480 has the breadth of knowledge. Number two, you want someone 135 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.519 somewhat collegial, not a bomb thrower like Tony Bender, someone 136 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.920 that's going to just be a show horse and not 137 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.720 a workhorse, which you were a workhorse. And number three, 138 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.680 what about the Trump factor? Because if the Trumpster and 139 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.319 Jay I got JD's got the Trumpsters or shall we say, uh, 140 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.519 you can't appoint someone that Trump's going to put someone 141 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.560 against them in a primary to split the party? 142 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.600 Correct, Well, that's I mean, look, the president Trump has 143 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.879 effectively picked the last two US senators from the last 144 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.519 two people to win, uh jd Vance and Marino. He 145 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.800 endorsed you know, each of those in their respectial primary 146 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.720 and they ended up they ended up winning. So it 147 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.480 needs to be someone who can win a primary, uh, 148 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.600 and then turn right around and win a few months 149 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.120 later win a general election. So uh, you know, there's 150 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.839 a I think a feeling among many people that Ohio 151 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.759 is this real bright red state and we are we are. 152 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.639 I guess if you look at the last. 153 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.600 You know, three presidential elections, but Trump won by eight 154 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.399 eight and then and then twelve or eleven. I guess 155 00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.600 eleven plus. But it's still a state that a Democrat 156 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.360 can win statewide. Yes, and we know that off of 157 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.839 your elections sometimes are not good for the party in power, 158 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.279 the party that controls the White House. That's been that's 159 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.439 been the history, and so you know you have to 160 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.759 have someone who won the general election as well as 161 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.360 being able to win a primary. 162 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.920 Have you spoken to Donald Trump about this seat? 163 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.560 Yeah, I have. I talked to him, I talked to JD. 164 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.480 Vance and of course I talk to a lot of 165 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:29.120 people about it. 166 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:29.519 Yeah. 167 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.639 But you understand, you know more about politics and Ohio 168 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:36.799 than anyone this side of Thomas Jefferson eighteen o three. 169 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.440 When a high became a state, and that is that 170 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.000 to appoint someone that the that JD. Vans would say, 171 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.360 I oppose that person. That is something you would not do. 172 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.000 No, No, that wouldn't make any sense. 173 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.600 I mean that would just mean they would only be 174 00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:51.159 in there for two years. 175 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.840 And you know, you could get. 176 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:57.519 Some stumped done in two years. But the more effective way, 177 00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.360 of course, is to have someone who's going to be 178 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.120 in the United States for some some period of time 179 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.440 that they he or she has the ability to you know, 180 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:11.080 get some seniority, uh and kind of get going there. 181 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:11.879 Uh. 182 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.200 So we don't really want to point someone who just 183 00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.080 is only going to be there for a couple of years. 184 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.799 Lastly, I know you're busy this afternoon. Lastly, on the 185 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.720 issue of Intel, there was some comments because the guy 186 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.440 you dealt with an Intel, the CEO, has been diffract 187 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.440 And what is the status of that huge Intel plant 188 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.440 in the Columbus area that was going to be billions 189 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.000 of dollars in economic impact? What's the status of that 190 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.360 in these days? I think his name's Gelsinger, I know 191 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.639 you know him, well, yes, what's the status? 192 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.399 Yeah, Pat Gelsinger is who we you know, we dealt 193 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:53.039 with at Intel. He was the CEO. Things are still 194 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.039 moving forward. We expect them to continue to move forward. 195 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.559 And just to give you kind of a sense of 196 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.519 this bill how big this is. You know, they have 197 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.600 already put billions and billions I say, b billions of 198 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:11.440 dollars into the ground uh out there. And so this 199 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.200 is not something that anybody is going to turn off. 200 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.679 You know, they can't walk away from this even if. 201 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:18.240 They wanted to. 202 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.600 We have no no indication if they want to, but 203 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.039 they've got billions of dollars already invested, So uh, it's 204 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.759 it's going to move forward. I think the market will 205 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:29.840 always determine how fast it moves. 206 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.480 We knew that from the beginning. 207 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.600 Uh, you know, they told us they wanted wanted to 208 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:40.000 do you know, multiple fabs out there, but we also. 209 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.559 Were told, you know, it will depend on the market. 210 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.759 It will spend on how our business is going, how 211 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.440 fast we can expand this. So, uh, you know, I'm 212 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.000 still I'm still optimistic. Uh, they're moving forward as as 213 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:55.919 we speak right today. They're they're you know, building right now, 214 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:57.600 and we have a lot of a lot of a 215 00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.000 lot of hire workers out there. 216 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.200 They have about thirty seconds remaining. You have two years 217 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.080 left in your term. In January, you've six years into it. 218 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.759 What is the main thing you'd like to do in 219 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.159 the last two years of your term. I would anticipate 220 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.120 you're about my age in a sense, a little bit 221 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.279 older than me, of course, but nonetheless, when you get 222 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.399 out of office, you'll be about eighty years old. I 223 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.200 assume your political life will be done at that point. 224 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.399 Maybe serve on a board and sit on your porch 225 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.240 there and green County and maybe just count your blessings 226 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.320 and thirty some great grandchildren. But nonetheless, if you had 227 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:34.240 one goal you'd like to undertake in the last two years, 228 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:34.840 what would it be. 229 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.240 Now, we're going to continue to focus on people. We're 230 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.480 creating more jobs in the stable while every day than 231 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.600 we have people that kill them. So we've got to 232 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.519 make sure that everybody has the ability to live up 233 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.080 to their God given potential and that means focusing on 234 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.080 education and focusing on the science of reading sounding words 235 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.240 out Delli parton library the frand has been so involved 236 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.440 in being books in the kids' team all the way 237 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.879 up to college for some kids, but also kids that 238 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:10.559 don't want to go that pathway give them opportunities as well, 239 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.440 whether that's in the building trades or whether that's working 240 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:17.960 with computers, all of these things or you know important So, 241 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.360 I know we don't have much time, but that's kind 242 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:21.679 of what. 243 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.200 We're focused on, you know, live up to their full potential. 244 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.399 We've got to get into the electoral college. Right now, 245 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.759 my sister Mary Cunningham Reddin will be reading a bunch 246 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.159 of stuff and keep an eye on her. She's so 247 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.799 proud of what's going on. You don't know her life 248 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.320 intimately as I do because I love my sister. But 249 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.960 she's wearing my mother's necklace. My mother died in twenty 250 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.879 or nine, and she has her little bit in her 251 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.039 purse and she shove tears in her eyes to think about. 252 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.000 I wish my mom was around to see my sister 253 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.320 perform an electoral college. But keep an eye on. 254 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.879 I will see her in just a few minutes, literally, 255 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.360 So ask her to college today. 256 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.320 Ask her to look at the nextlases. My mother's necklace. 257 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.840 She died with that around her neck, and she'd be 258 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:04.879 so proud of my sister. 259 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:06.519 I'll look at the necklace. 260 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.600 God, blessure, thank you, thank you, thank you, God bless you. 261 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.039 Let's continue with more. It's like a short break. On 262 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:14.799 the other side, we're going to discuss what the governor 263 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.559 brought up, which is the four seventy one situation, and 264 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.840 also the Senate seat, et cetera. And his friendship. Believe 265 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.600 it or not, Mike DeWine has a friendship with Donald Trump. 266 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:28.159 I'm not sure any of those two could be more different, 267 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:32.000 except politically, but culturally and socially. But they get it. 268 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.799 Make no sense for Mike DeWine to appoint someone then 269 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.559 split the party in half next year during a primery. 270 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.120 I mean in twenty twenty six, let's continue with more. 271 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.799 Bill Cunningham, Home of the Bengals, News Radio seven hundred WLW. 272 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.720 All right, hit the music, Dave back on the big one, 273 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:53.200 seven hundred WLW, fifty thousand wats, but sounded like a million. 274 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.799 And I discussed with the governor about two months ago 275 00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.240 what was going to happen in the US Senate seat. 276 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.000 And I told him that if you decide to appoint 277 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.840 a placeholder for two years, I'm your guy. On the 278 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.919 other hand, I have what I seek, which is a 279 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.879 great platform and great friends and family and closeness with 280 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.919 those around me, and my life is settled. And I said, 281 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:18.399 but if you want me to serve for two years, 282 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:19.960 I'll do it. Let me think about it, he said, 283 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.200 And he came back a few days later and said, look, 284 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.000 you'd be perfect for two years. But the problem is 285 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.759 I want somebody to run in twenty six and then 286 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.080 run in twenty eight, and I need someone who can 287 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.720 run a state wide campaign twice back to back and win. 288 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.879 And I said, Governor, that's not me. I'm not going 289 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:42.240 to do it, he said, okay, And so number one 290 00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:45.879 criteria is electability, because why I appoint someone a great 291 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:49.000 candidate that can't win. So it's got to be a Republican. 292 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:53.720 It's got to be someone like ae Jane Tempkin, or 293 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:57.120 someone like a Frank Lorosa, someone of that character that 294 00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:00.399 can actually hold the seat. Franklerosa has been the vote 295 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.879 get her in Ohio for a long time. He's an 296 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.840 army ranger, a great guy, and I can't make a 297 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.440 bad selection with either one of them. And of course 298 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.159 Jane Timpkin, former chair of the Republican Party, has great 299 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:16.000 Cincinnati connections. In fact, her father taught my wife law 300 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.159 at the University of Cincinnati. So it'll be a big decision. 301 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:20.840 He'll make it, and he's got to make it in 302 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.000 conjunction with Jaidie Vance and Donald Trump, because you don't 303 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.600 want to split the party in the spring of twenty 304 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.559 twenty six getting ready for the general election. So whoever 305 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.200 that person's going to be will be announced right here. 306 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.559 And I think it's illustrative that the governor is saying 307 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.120 that the four seventy one bridge will be open the 308 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.039 middle of February and that he's going to take a 309 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.000 look at the banning trucks making them go around two 310 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.240 seventy five, let's continue with more twelve thirty Home of 311 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:51.759 Year Reds in your Bengals News Radio seven hundred Wow, Cincinnati. 312 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:58.200 Of course, we must fight against anti Semitism on college campuses, 313 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.679 especially funded largely by the federal government. I think the Trumpster, 314 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.080 only president ever to have Jewish grandkids, will try to 315 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:09.720 work on that. But the AMAS factors on many college campuses, 316 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.480 funded by Iran and otherwise, is going to be a 317 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.320 strong force to fight. But Americans have overcome worse things 318 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:20.440 will overcome this one. After one o'clock today, I have 319 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.000 on an expert on drones to talk about what's happening. 320 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.039 But I want to highlight some other issue, which is 321 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.240 the teen shooter that killed two and herself at a 322 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.320 Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin a couple days ago. And 323 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.720 I'm going to share with you from her diary the 324 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.639 information that I can read on the air about why 325 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.240 this fifteen year old did it and why she targeted 326 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.919 certain people and not target other people. Imagine a fifteen 327 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.360 year old girl, and by the way, it doesn't appear 328 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.519 that she's trans in any sense of the world word. 329 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.559 But nonetheless, this is a deeply troubled woman, a young 330 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.399 girl who won by the name sam or Samantha. And 331 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:01.519 to get some of the facts, there have been six wounded, 332 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:06.799 two innocents killed, and she fortunately took her own life 333 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.599 so to save the state decades of care for her. 334 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.240 She used a nine millimeter handgun and she of course 335 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:20.240 took her own life. Her name is Natalie Lynn Rupnow 336 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:26.599 r up Now Natalie Lynn route Now went by sam 337 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:31.519 or Samantha. She had an extensive online obsession with school 338 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:36.240 shooters and death, particularly the nineteen ninety nine Columbine High 339 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.079 School shooting. Rutnow was a big fan of a rock 340 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:43.720 band named k MFDM. In fact, she wore the shirt 341 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:46.559 when she was when she was a murderer and committed 342 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:51.079 suicide that was referenced by the Columbine shooters. She also 343 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:55.039 wore other shirts to indicate she was okay with violence. 344 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.799 A purported sneak peek at her manifesto was posted online 345 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.359 and then taken down by a screenshot. She discussed in 346 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.079 it a desire to kill boys and men. She said, 347 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:13.079 quote all males in a rant must be killed, and 348 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.480 this account was also posted a mere selfie photo of 349 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.519 rep Now she is long as shall we said disturbing 350 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:24.759 online history of being obsessed with school shooters, death, murder, suicide, 351 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:28.480 and becoming herself a school shooter. There's a picture of 352 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:32.880 her in this garb. She had an account on Watch 353 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.160 People Die. She would go online and watch ways in 354 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:42.240 which human beings were killed. Her Spotify playlists listed themes 355 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:49.200 of murder, suicide, and killing boys. The statement, among others 356 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.759 she made was quote women are the only hope for 357 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.359 this wretched world and that boys and men quote can't 358 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:59.119 be redeemed or reformed. She said, the only solution is 359 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:01.720 to kill them all. They are the scourge of the earth. 360 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:05.799 The only solution is to total eliminate boys and men, 361 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:11.559 every foid who worships these parasites, Every single male must 362 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:14.839 be wiped out, she said, from babies to the elderly. 363 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.519 Only then will women be free to create a new world. 364 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:20.440 I'll be a pioneer. I'll be the first to take 365 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:25.680 the step. I don't care if their fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, teachers, 366 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:30.440 police especially she used the N word, or politicians. I've 367 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:34.200 been craving now to kill them all. The schoolshooter said 368 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:38.079 in her manifesto, this is my mission. Only when these 369 00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.839 parasitic sludge had been expunged from the earth is when 370 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.319 then the world will be clean and women can take over. 371 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.119 It's the only way. In approximately ten minutes, I'll be dead. 372 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.640 It's strange, but I feel good to meet the devil. 373 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.640 She went on to say, Apparently there are the other 374 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:59.200 pages of this feminist creed in which she felt she 375 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.960 felt unlow by her scum family and decided to kill 376 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.400 herself a long time ago, felt committing suicide was a 377 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.559 better evolution rather than just one stupid, boring suicide. Take 378 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:17.400 a bunch of boys with me, I continue. She had 379 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.759 an obsession in the darkest corners of the internet. This 380 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:24.279 is a fifteen year old girl out of Christian school. 381 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.880 She had some affixation with guns, murder and suicide and 382 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:35.000 wreaking havoc. And of course, when this has happened, I'm 383 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:37.720 looking to my left. CNN's gone to their normal asscreed 384 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.680 about gun control. And by the way, I think it's 385 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.279 already illegal for a fifteen year old to have a gun. 386 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.160 I think it's already illegal for them to carry guns. 387 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.440 I think it's already illegal to have guns in school. 388 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.480 I think it's already illegal to kill someone, so another 389 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:57.160 law I'm not sure would have significant impact. But upon reflection, 390 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:03.720 the solution as an American Christian, in my viewpoint, needs 391 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:10.039 a much deeper American self reflection and conversation about the 392 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:15.440 war now being waged on kids by an agenda to 393 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:20.480 topple the pillars that want sustain our civilization. There were 394 00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.559 things that held up so that those in the land 395 00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:27.519 of mental illness had a resolution or a respite or 396 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:32.319 a way out. But our civilization now is filled with 397 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:37.559 sex and violence and drugs and self loathing. The pillars 398 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.720 involve things such as love of family, love of America, 399 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:46.480 love of God, love of country. Kind of like a 400 00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:50.680 respect for the rights of others that's gone doesn't exist anymore. 401 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:54.559
