Speaker 1: Now I have Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Here we
Speaker 1: are again, much like floating on a pile of coconuts
Speaker 1: out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I'm still here,
Speaker 1: Steve McQueen style. But until then, Moager, welcome again to
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. Mo before we get into the
Speaker 1: if and the ends and the butts of a free kick,
Speaker 1: which I think is a sign of the apocalypse, and
Speaker 1: the fact that Bengals Bengals are going to win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this season. In a sense, I thought that
Speaker 1: was a sign from God, the free kick last night,
Speaker 1: which you can explain later. I know you're wrapping gifts,
Speaker 1: getting ready for Christmas. But before we go any further,
Speaker 1: the theme of Christmas Morning, with the Conclave, with Eddie
Speaker 1: and with the Rock and with Mike and with Scott Sloan,
Speaker 1: of course me is going to be how you got here?
Speaker 1: And so I want to ask moeger Mo. You've been
Speaker 1: kicking it here for about a quarter of a century,
Speaker 1: most of your adult life. You've been here. Tell the
Speaker 1: American people this snowy Frieday afternoon, how you got here.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty boring story, Bill, I know.
Speaker 1: But most of most of my interviews are so let's
Speaker 1: keep the string going. It had to be something how
Speaker 1: you got because out of Dayton came Any Fingers and
Speaker 1: Mike McConnell, and out of Toledo came Scott Sloan, and
Speaker 1: out of uh Montford Heights and Dent came Rocky Boyman.
Speaker 1: Where An come from?
Speaker 2: Well? I Uh, I spent my childhood split between Taylor,
Speaker 2: mil Kentucky and New Jersey, right, And so because of that,
Speaker 2: because we were always driving back and forth, uh, we
Speaker 2: had talk radio on NonStop, my dad, my mom NonStop,
Speaker 2: often late at night. And so as a as a
Speaker 2: young boy growing up, I developed a fascination with radio
Speaker 2: music radio talk radio specifically, and I just would always
Speaker 2: think to myself, you know, I'd sit on the breezeway
Speaker 2: with my grandmother back in the nineteen eighties, and she
Speaker 2: was a talk radio junkie and I would say to myself, God,
Speaker 2: those people on the radio sound like they're having.
Speaker 3: So much fun.
Speaker 2: So as a kid, I decided I wanted to work
Speaker 2: at a radio station. I didn't know specifically what I
Speaker 2: would do. I didn't specifically know how I would do it,
Speaker 2: but I knew that that's what I wanted to do.
Speaker 2: And so when it came time to pick a college,
Speaker 2: I graduated from Scott High School in Taylor Mill. All
Speaker 2: I really cared about was going to a school that
Speaker 2: had a campus radio station where you could be on
Speaker 2: the air year one, and the University of Dayton afforded
Speaker 2: that opportunity. Now I didn't know much else about the school.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know really was a Catholic school, but
Speaker 2: I knew they had a campus radio station, and I
Speaker 2: knew you could start before you even took a class.
Speaker 2: So that's why it appealed to me. So I went there,
Speaker 2: and you know, by then I I certainly had listened
Speaker 2: to seven hundred w WELW a lot. And I met
Speaker 2: a girl in a class by the name of Lori
Speaker 2: Bach who had been an intern for Mike McConnell, and
Speaker 2: she described this awesome experience, and I was very envious
Speaker 2: and asked her, like, well, any shot you could put
Speaker 2: in a work for me or tell me who to call,
Speaker 2: And she did and I called remember Yancy Deering, right, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: called Yancy. Asked if I could be an intern on
Speaker 2: Mike's show. He said yes. I did that in the
Speaker 2: summer of nineteen ninety seven, and I remember day one
Speaker 2: walking in and just saying to myself, these people are
Speaker 2: having a lot of fun. This is what I want
Speaker 2: to do. And so that turned into I did the summer.
Speaker 2: I told her this is a boring story.
Speaker 1: Bill, but this is somewhat interesting. I didn't know this
Speaker 1: about your life.
Speaker 3: Mo.
Speaker 1: I had no idea. Don't short sell yourself. Let others
Speaker 1: do that. Please continue.
Speaker 2: So so the summer internship went, you know, wound out, well,
Speaker 2: wound down, and I went back to school. This would
Speaker 2: have been my junior year. And then, you know, we
Speaker 2: got to winter break and I called and uh. I
Speaker 2: talked to the guy who would become my best friend,
Speaker 2: the lake great Rich Wahlberg, and said, hey, I've got
Speaker 2: a month, you know, no class. Can I come down
Speaker 2: and just help whatever it is? Run the board, but
Speaker 2: do whatever? And he said yes. You know, radio stations
Speaker 2: love free labor. So I came down and a couple
Speaker 2: of days before, yes, a couple of days before Christmas,
Speaker 2: I was asked, what are you doing on Christmas morning?
Speaker 2: And you know, my answer was, well, what everybody does
Speaker 2: on Christmas morning? And I was asked, would you like
Speaker 2: to come in and run the board. And at the
Speaker 2: time it was these large real or real tapes of
Speaker 2: the Dusty Rhodes Christmas Special Spectacular, right that we used
Speaker 2: to run. Yes, and I was bad. Would you want
Speaker 2: to come in from five to noon.
Speaker 1: To do that on Christmas Day?
Speaker 2: What is Christmas Morning? And I said of course. And
Speaker 2: the yid man, Dave Arnbrewster and I we're having this conversation.
Speaker 2: He goes, well, if you're going to do that, we
Speaker 2: have to pay you what And I said, well, that's
Speaker 2: even better. And he goes, if we pay you, we
Speaker 2: have to make you an employee. And I kind of
Speaker 2: just looked at him with this dumb, stupid look on
Speaker 2: my face that I often walked around the radio station
Speaker 2: with in my twenties, and I said, finally, like, does
Speaker 2: that mean you're like, I have a job? He's like yes.
Speaker 2: So that was my job. That was my first part
Speaker 2: time job. I was a student at UD and then
Speaker 2: the following summer between my junior and senior years, you know,
Speaker 2: Jim Scott had returned to the radio station and they
Speaker 2: were looking for somebody to help produce his show, and
Speaker 2: Rich Wahlberg pushed for me to have that opportunity, and
Speaker 2: I did that for five years. I did that well
Speaker 2: past my graduation day. From that point, slowly but surely
Speaker 2: made it known that I'd like to have my own show,
Speaker 2: like to be on the air one day. That took forever.
Speaker 2: Finally got that opportunity, and I'm still trying to be
Speaker 2: good at that. But that's how I started twenty seven
Speaker 2: years ago. Well, mo i, And by the way, and
Speaker 2: what you're looking for here is the man who hired
Speaker 2: me to be Jim's producer, who officially signed off on
Speaker 2: it was Bill coming in. So so thank you. I
Speaker 2: don't know if I should thank you or I ask
Speaker 2: you why you did that to me, but thank you.
Speaker 1: Well, you were cheap and you would do anything. But
Speaker 1: two issues come to mind with you. One is a
Speaker 1: placing of a sign on the outstretched arms of the
Speaker 1: Genius of the Waters on Fountain Square, and the city
Speaker 1: council was going to move the Genius of the Waters
Speaker 1: Fountain Square, Tyler Davidson Fountain, and I asked you somehow
Speaker 1: jump into the water shitty up the side of fount
Speaker 1: of Tyler Davidson Fountain and put a sign on the
Speaker 1: outstretched arm of the symbol of Cincinnati that says we'll
Speaker 1: work for food. Can you recall that? Yes, explain that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I believe this was like, that's a great memory,
Speaker 2: though I think this was like my second or third
Speaker 2: day as an intern. You know, my first day as
Speaker 2: an intern, Dan Quayle was signing books at some bookstore, Wow,
Speaker 2: And I was asked to go get him on the air,
Speaker 2: and miraculously, the Secret Service let me give him a
Speaker 2: cell phone and we got him on the air with Mike.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh, that was day one day, one day, but maybe
Speaker 2: the second or third day. I don't specifically remember what
Speaker 2: was going on with the fountain, but you guys wanted
Speaker 2: me to go to Fountain Square and hanged this gigantic
Speaker 2: sign that said will work for food on the fountain,
Speaker 2: which basically required me climbing into the fountain itself in
Speaker 2: early May, so it wasn't exactly hot, and I did that.
Speaker 2: And then if you remember, a couple of days later,
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Inquirer had done this big expos day on
Speaker 2: shiquida bananas. Yes, and you had me go down to
Speaker 2: the Inquirer building and hand out they had to I
Speaker 2: admit the story was inaccurate or something. You were really
Speaker 2: excited about this, Yes, and you sent me down to
Speaker 2: the Inquirer building on Elm Street with a truckload of bananas,
Speaker 2: and I my job was to hand them to the
Speaker 2: inquire employees as they walked in and out of the
Speaker 2: Inquirer building. That was my first time ever on the air.
Speaker 2: You put me. It was the hour of Power from
Speaker 2: two to three, and I was on with you as
Speaker 2: an intern, twenty years old, not even twenty years nineteen
Speaker 2: years old, handing out bananas to the Inquirer employees. And
Speaker 2: I guess that's kind of how it started.
Speaker 1: Well, those are the two issues. And the inquir ran
Speaker 1: a terrible false story about Carl Linder, and after it
Speaker 1: came to light that they lied about Carl Linder, I thought,
Speaker 1: what's better than going down there with thousands of bananas
Speaker 1: and handing him out to inquire employees. Carl Lindner and
Speaker 1: I thought that was a pretty good thing too, And
Speaker 1: I thought, those are the two issues.
Speaker 2: You also asked me the first time the Reds played
Speaker 2: the Indians in Cincinnati. I think by this time I
Speaker 2: was an employee. You asked me to dress up like
Speaker 2: Chief Wahoo and drive around town. I think I was
Speaker 2: giving away tickets. Yes, but you had me like literally
Speaker 2: go around the entire two seventy five loops dressed up
Speaker 2: as which like you couldn't do now, No, No, dressed
Speaker 2: up as Chief Wahoo to let people throw egit or something.
Speaker 2: You remember that one.
Speaker 1: Yes, put you up on the Riverfront stadium concourse dressed
Speaker 1: as Chief Wahoo and a dunk tank and people could
Speaker 1: line up and dunk Chief Wahoo. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure radio does that anymore, my right or wrong, but
Speaker 1: the band is about Tyler Davidson Fountain, about Chief Wahoo.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't want.
Speaker 2: To do more then you back then. I mean you
Speaker 2: you had people who just that's what they did. They
Speaker 2: just hung around the radio station waiting for someone to
Speaker 2: give them something to do, whatever it was.
Speaker 1: That's why Sega still here.
Speaker 2: That's why that's right. And uh we uh we don't
Speaker 2: have that. We don't have that staff member anymore.
Speaker 1: No, all right, now, let's move on. And uh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do this Christmas morning with all the with the
Speaker 1: conclave of cardinals and we're going to talk about it.
Speaker 1: But uh, last night, of course, the only way that
Speaker 1: Ben Galleys can get to the Super Bowl this season,
Speaker 1: is somehow, some way for Denver to get beat by
Speaker 1: the Chargers come here. Of course, the Bengals have to
Speaker 1: win out and then come here next Sunday and have
Speaker 1: the Bengals beat them here, which is then or beat
Speaker 1: them here, then have Denver lose to Kansas City, then
Speaker 1: the Bengals somehow win in Pittsburgh. That's assuming that Miami
Speaker 1: and Innanapolis each of them lose one of the next
Speaker 1: three games, which I think is likely. Now, assuming what
Speaker 1: I said is accurate, which I think it is, Explain
Speaker 1: the free kick. Tony Bender calls me last night late.
Speaker 1: It has not happened in forty eight years, and this
Speaker 1: was a key element that demonstrated to me the Bengals
Speaker 1: were gonna win it all this season because this hasn't
Speaker 1: happened in forty eight years. Explain to Tony Bender the
Speaker 1: free kick.
Speaker 2: So here's how I understand it. If you are the
Speaker 2: receiving team and you have a guy take a free
Speaker 2: catch a fair catch, you have the option of running
Speaker 2: a play offensively, which most teams do because typically if
Speaker 2: you signal for a fair catch, you're doing it in
Speaker 2: your own territory or attempting a free kick. So theoretically
Speaker 2: you could make a fair catch at your own ten
Speaker 2: yard line and then have your kicker try at one
Speaker 2: hundred yard field goal. No team obviously is going to
Speaker 2: do that, So there was a fair catch, but there
Speaker 2: was also a penalty against Denver, which moved the ball
Speaker 2: fifteen yards and gave the Chargers an untimed down. Now,
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh in that instance could have decided to have
Speaker 2: his quarterback throw a hell Mary pass right or because
Speaker 2: a free kick would have been a fifty seven yarder,
Speaker 2: which is makeable for most NFL kickers. The free kick
Speaker 2: means Cameron Dicker the kicker, they just put the ball down,
Speaker 2: it's held, and he kicks the ball to the upright.
Speaker 2: There's no oncoming rush. It can't be blocked, and so
Speaker 2: it hadn't happened, I guess since nineteen seventy six. I
Speaker 2: was talking with a high school official last night that
Speaker 2: I was watching the game with, who kind of outlined
Speaker 2: how at the high school level this sort of thing
Speaker 2: has happened a couple of times, but it's rarely used obviously,
Speaker 2: But you know, pretty smart by Jim Harbaugh, go ahead
Speaker 2: and do it. I would imagine there are some NFL
Speaker 2: head coaches who don't know that rule. Hopefully they have
Speaker 2: someone on their staff who does. But he played it perfectly.
Speaker 2: And while the margin of victory for the Chargers last
Speaker 2: night did exceed three points, it kind of to me
Speaker 2: felt like it gave them a measure of momentum after
Speaker 2: being dominated by Denver in the first half.
Speaker 1: Right, it happened. It just was one of those things
Speaker 1: you think about the good old days with the leather
Speaker 1: helmets and no face masks. It came out of that,
Speaker 1: but it hasn't happened in almost fifty years, because how
Speaker 1: many times would a player have a fair catch and
Speaker 1: then have a fifteen yard penalty, then have like a
Speaker 1: fifty five yard field goal. And it gave the Chargers
Speaker 1: such momentum going in and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: the second half, the Chargers arose and well Moe lastly
Speaker 1: one minute remaining. Do you have hope for the Bengals
Speaker 1: that you did not have before last night?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think last night's game, you know, we've kind
Speaker 2: of talked about over the last couple of weeks, how
Speaker 2: the Bengals have you know, a very very very very
Speaker 2: slim chance of making the postseason. The odds are certainly
Speaker 2: not in their favor, but it's less slim. Now you
Speaker 2: know that was the game last night. It kind of
Speaker 2: made the scenario moving forward plausible because they're heavy favorites
Speaker 2: in the game on Sunday against Cleveland and they get
Speaker 2: a chance to play the Denver Broncos a week from
Speaker 2: tomorrow in their own building. Yeah, and if they win
Speaker 2: that one, and if you subscribe to the belief as
Speaker 2: I do, that Miami or Indy neither team is good
Speaker 2: enough to win out, then I think you're looking at
Speaker 2: a very strong possibility that that last week of the year,
Speaker 2: the Bengals will go into their final game against Pittsburgh. Now,
Speaker 2: what we're not going to know is what the Steelers
Speaker 2: are playing for a Week eight team, and we're also
Speaker 2: not going to know what the Kansas City Chiefs are
Speaker 2: going to be playing for a Week eighteam their Denver's
Speaker 2: final opponent, and so I think we all want the
Speaker 2: Chiefs to lose a game so they have to play
Speaker 2: their main guys in that game. But I think it
Speaker 2: did set the Bangles up that if they take care
Speaker 2: of business on Sunday, you can start to see the
Speaker 2: pass open up a little bit, and prior to last weekend,
Speaker 2: I don't think any of us were exploring those possibilities.
Speaker 2: So I hate that we're in this situation, right. I
Speaker 2: hate that they're six and eight. I hate that they're
Speaker 2: having to rely on other teams. But but you know,
Speaker 2: two weeks ago people were throwing dirt on the coffin,
Speaker 2: and I think I think it's time to at least
Speaker 2: take a pause before we put the shovel back in
Speaker 2: the wheelbarrow.
Speaker 1: All right, mo mate, you and yours have a merry
Speaker 1: Christmas and a happy New Year presence to be opened
Speaker 1: by your daughter. And one of the ways radio is
Speaker 1: wrong today is not having the moe Eggers running around
Speaker 1: here saying hey, I want to get into radio, or
Speaker 1: the antsy dearings, or the Paul Mason's or the Rich Wahlberg's.
Speaker 1: And somehow radio is differently today, and I'm not sure
Speaker 1: it's better, But Moegger may and you and yours have
Speaker 1: a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Speaker 2: I came along at precisely the right time, Bill and
Speaker 2: forever grateful for it. Merry Christmas, thanks so much.
Speaker 1: God bless you. Let's continue with more your reaction to
Speaker 1: more five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand, Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WLW, and Frank Zibell, who
Speaker 1: runs things at ACR, is a great American. Good to
Speaker 1: have you with me. This weather interesting Friday afternoon in
Speaker 1: the Tri State. The snows coming down, should not be
Speaker 1: much accumulation, but later on temperature's plummet. Getting ready for
Speaker 1: Christmas and so much more. And you know, every year,
Speaker 1: at least for the past fifteen or twenty years, on
Speaker 1: Christmas Morning itself, the Conclave happens in which the stars,
Speaker 1: so to speak of the Bigger One, get together in
Speaker 1: executive fashion starting at about seven am on Christmas Day itself.
Speaker 1: This year, we're going to have Eddie Fingers and Rocky Boyman,
Speaker 1: Mike McConnell, Scott Sloan and yourself, the five who dominate
Speaker 1: the airwaves right here in the Tri State, to talk
Speaker 1: about what's going on, what is not going on, and
Speaker 1: the first area of entime going to explore with them.
Speaker 1: And I have my list. Over the last couple of days,
Speaker 1: I have the topics. I went over my journal, as
Speaker 1: you may know, every show that I've done for the
Speaker 1: past forty one years. I've kept a journal on under
Speaker 1: the date and the guest, and I started a new
Speaker 1: one because I ran out of space on on a Monday,
Speaker 1: September the ninth, twenty twenty four, which was, you know,
Speaker 1: an interesting day. The It was after a Bengals loss
Speaker 1: the game before against New day before against New England,
Speaker 1: I had on Moeger. I just had on again. At
Speaker 1: one o six pm, I had on Grover Norquist, and
Speaker 1: a two of six I had on Scott Powell. And
Speaker 1: every show that I do, I keep a little note
Speaker 1: as who I had on things like that, so that
Speaker 1: year's in I could get together and talk to the
Speaker 1: conclave about what happened that year, and I have some preparation.
Speaker 1: The number one topic I'm gonna deal with is how
Speaker 1: it all began. And after that, I have politics, the
Speaker 1: significant Melissa Powers losing in a sense to Countie Pillach
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump's election in the Congress. JD Vance, Who's
Speaker 1: going to be his replacement? By the way, it will
Speaker 1: not be me? Homelessness big mac Bridge City Council mayor
Speaker 1: retreats jup. Republican Party dead in Hamlton County but thriving
Speaker 1: in the county surrounding Hamilton County. Why Ohio is read
Speaker 1: more red than Michigan and Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. The social issues
Speaker 1: of the day, the death of DEI, the collapse of
Speaker 1: public education in the Tri State. When it comes to
Speaker 1: the since the public schools, did you know that fifty
Speaker 1: three percent of the kids that attend public schools in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: at a cost of about twenty thousand dollars each, fifty
Speaker 1: three percent are chronically absent. And if you're a black boy,
Speaker 1: the odds are being chronically absent at CPS. It's seventy percent.
Speaker 1: I know, good public schools like Beechwood, like Deer Park,
Speaker 1: and guess what they don't have fifty three percent chronic absenteeism.
Speaker 1: You got to one thing in life you have to
Speaker 1: do is show up. You got to be there physically.
Speaker 1: And so we're gonna spend some time maybe on Christmas morning,
Speaker 1: talking about the collapse of CPS, and uh, fifty three
Speaker 1: percent chronically absent, seventy percent of black males or chronically absent,
Speaker 1: not showing up. Fifty two percent of Americans say today
Speaker 1: that fifty two percent a college education is not important.
Speaker 1: That we have fifty five million foreign born persons living
Speaker 1: in this country, which is, by the way, ridiculous, Southern
Speaker 1: border crime, or some of the issues that proliferate when
Speaker 1: it comes to marriage. In nineteen sixty, which was you
Speaker 1: know what, Liam wasn't born yet what sixty four years
Speaker 1: ago nineteen sixty, the average American male was married at
Speaker 1: the age of twenty three, female at the age of
Speaker 1: twenty in nineteen sixty. In nineteen ninety, let's go ahead
Speaker 1: thirty years it was twenty seven years old for men,
Speaker 1: twenty five year years old for women, and now twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: That's close enough. You're thirty one years old if you're
Speaker 1: a man, and twenty eight if you're a female, which
Speaker 1: has consequences. You don't get married in your early thirties
Speaker 1: and want to have a bunch of kids. Doesn't work
Speaker 1: that way. Eighty percent of twenty five year old men
Speaker 1: that might be you, eighty percent are not married. Sixty
Speaker 1: percent of females say that marriage is not that important
Speaker 1: to them. Between the ages of seventeen and thirty years
Speaker 1: old females, sixty percent of females say that marriage is
Speaker 1: not important to them or having children. We do big
Speaker 1: topics all year about men like you and I. We're
Speaker 1: in trouble. Jobs, more drug use than women, watching porn
Speaker 1: taking the place of real relationships with a woman. Jailing
Speaker 1: mainly men ninety percent jailed, or male suicides seventy five percent,
Speaker 1: or males lack of education men. So men, especially white males,
Speaker 1: are in serious trouble by any fair estimate. And lastly,
Speaker 1: this issues for Christmas morning with the conclave. The top
Speaker 1: five stories in America, I'll begin number five according to
Speaker 1: USA Today, Number five, the collapse of Syria and all
Speaker 1: that entails. Hamas ESBLA. That's bad. According to USA Today,
Speaker 1: number four top story, the collapse of democratic governments. Think
Speaker 1: about this, Canada collapsing the government. Britain has had three
Speaker 1: prime ministers in the last eighteen months. Germany the lead
Speaker 1: is voted out of office. South Korea President he's a goofball.
Speaker 1: He declared martial law. France. Big trouble. So the collapse
Speaker 1: of democratic governments. And they put in that vein by
Speaker 1: the way that maybe in America we've had the collapse
Speaker 1: of democratic governments because the Democrats didn't win. Number three.
Speaker 1: Hamas invays invades Israel on October seventh, twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: it's been about a year and three months, and all
Speaker 1: the things that came out of that. Number two is
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian War going on nearly three years, at least
Speaker 1: one million dead, at least three million injured. The Russian
Speaker 1: invasion going on almost three years, began February twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, which is going to last three days.
Speaker 1: Now we're into three years, and the top story is
Speaker 1: in America in twenty twenty four, Donald J. Trump survives.
Speaker 1: It would be impossible to write a story in which
Speaker 1: a presidential candidate, Donald Trump is the subject of hundreds
Speaker 1: of lawsuits, multiple criminal indictments out of New York City,
Speaker 1: out of Atlanta, two out of Washington, d C. And
Speaker 1: then another one in southeast Southeast Florida. And here we
Speaker 1: are on December the twentieth, and he survives the gunshots,
Speaker 1: survives two impeachments. The guy is the most remarkable political
Speaker 1: figure in American history, up there with Washington, Lincoln, tr Fdr. Eisenhower, Reagan,
Speaker 1: and Trump. None of them have gone through other than
Speaker 1: George Washington. The physical demands that Donald Trump has survived,
Speaker 1: and in fact he's now flourishing, flourishing. One other story
Speaker 1: Number six is the mental collapse of the of Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: You may know that the Wall Street Journal there's been
Speaker 1: some reporting on this, but the media does not just
Speaker 1: did not want to report on it because they thought
Speaker 1: it helped the Republicans. They thought it helped Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But the Wall Street Journal, if you have a subscription,
Speaker 1: did a lengthy story of the mental collapse of Joe
Speaker 1: Biden starting in twenty twenty one, right after he was
Speaker 1: so called elected. I still have questions about the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty election, by the way, but nonetheless, early on the presidency,
Speaker 1: there was an effort by the White House Praetorian Guard,
Speaker 1: led by a guy named Ron Klaine and by Joe
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, doctor Joe Biden, to protect the media and
Speaker 1: the American people from knowing the truth. Now they could
Speaker 1: count on the media to involve itself in a cover up,
Speaker 1: which they've done for the past four years on Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: who's by the way, quietly quitting as we speak. But
Speaker 1: they adjusted the presidential schedule starting in January of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one due to his advanced age and he would
Speaker 1: not sit down for interviews. The media availabilities were light.
Speaker 1: They also limited Biden's schedule because he became tired if
Speaker 1: meetings went too long, which was thirty minutes, causing him
Speaker 1: to make mental mistakes. The praetorian guard around Biden told
Speaker 1: visitors to keep meetings focused, including meetings with senior Democratic
Speaker 1: lawmakers cabinet officials. Please don't spend too much time, Do
Speaker 1: not ask him questions, don't ask him to remember things.
Speaker 1: Went on to say they excluded negative stories about the
Speaker 1: president and his daily news clips, including negative polling about
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty four campaign. This is the White House
Speaker 1: during the age of the rise of the media, implemented
Speaker 1: greater than normal controls over Biden, who he spoke with,
Speaker 1: limited the sources of information he consumed, did not prepare
Speaker 1: presidential daily briefings he could not read them. Allowed Biden
Speaker 1: to start his day about ten o'clock in the morning
Speaker 1: and put a lid on most days by noon. He
Speaker 1: spent sixty percent more time on vacation than working on
Speaker 1: and on and on and here sat the Washington Post
Speaker 1: in Washington, DC, itself not covering this story. ABC maybe
Speaker 1: the worst, NBC, CBS, PBS ignored. And what they did
Speaker 1: was protect Joe Biden because he was being used by
Speaker 1: the Obama hangovers for the third Obama presidential term, and
Speaker 1: there's little or no reporting. In fact, Joe Scarborough has
Speaker 1: the Lie of the Year of NBC News in which
Speaker 1: he said in March of this year, this is the sharpest,
Speaker 1: the brightest Joe Biden that he's ever seen. And the
Speaker 1: White House staff prevented the press and donors and stakeholders
Speaker 1: and Biden's campaign from direct contact with the president. He
Speaker 1: would not the staff would not allow him to make
Speaker 1: telephone calls on his own. And it went on and on,
Speaker 1: and he almost almost succeeded in electing someone even less
Speaker 1: qualified to the presidency. She only won the presidency by
Speaker 1: about a quarter of a million votes out of some
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million cast in three states. It
Speaker 1: was close, closer than we like to think. That the
Speaker 1: cover up by the White House, in conjunction with the
Speaker 1: mainstream media to keep important facts from you is now
Speaker 1: going to be laid bare, and more and more books
Speaker 1: coming out and reporting of what the media did to
Speaker 1: you as a citizen in twenty twenty four, and the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party completely complicit in all of it, beginning with
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, etc. And they continue to
Speaker 1: lie on watching right now a news conference in which
Speaker 1: a KJP, the Press Secretary is telling us how sharp,
Speaker 1: how sharp Joe Biden is. Let's continue with more. After
Speaker 1: one o'clock, Leland Fiddett will be here and so much more.

Speaker 1: joan you and I now is the great Leland Verntered
Speaker 1: of News Nation and Leland Vitter welcome again to the
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham showing Lelard. I don't know where to start. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's Christmas, it's New Year's, it's all the rest. We're
Speaker 1: not going to be together, I think anymore this year.
Speaker 1: And if somebody would tap you on their shoulder and say,
Speaker 1: Leland Vidder of News Nation, what the hell happened in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four? And this is maybe five or ten
Speaker 1: years from now, the books are being written. The Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal did this thing on the mental status, of
Speaker 1: course of the president, which is the great untold story
Speaker 1: about twenty twenty three twenty twenty four. We've not hit
Speaker 1: a functioning presidency who's running it. But if somebody would say,
Speaker 1: Leland Verter, can you tell me the top two or
Speaker 1: three big stories of twenty twenty four? What would they be?
Speaker 3: I think unquestionably it is the American people spoke demanding
Speaker 3: a form of change. And I say that not so
Speaker 3: much because they elected Donald Trump, but because.
Speaker 1: That was part of it.
Speaker 3: The other part of it is, for example, in Nebraska,
Speaker 3: where you had a Democrat Union guy who ran as
Speaker 3: an independent come within three or four point of the
Speaker 3: city of the United States Center. The American people in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four stood up, they said, we've had enough
Speaker 3: and we want things change. We want Washington torn down.
Speaker 3: I think the influence of Elon Musk in the election
Speaker 3: was an enormous moment. Obviously, Joe Biden dropping out all
Speaker 3: that that you alluded to huge, But from a political standpoint,
Speaker 3: I think it's actually more about what twenty twenty four
Speaker 3: means for twenty twenty five. And as you know, your
Speaker 3: subscriber Warnotes dot Com as our daily newsletter that comes out.
Speaker 3: And I think what twenty twenty four set up is
Speaker 3: going to be a very very messy twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: And I think what happened when I review what occurred
Speaker 1: in the election is there's not there's about four five
Speaker 1: hundred counties in the United States of America and not
Speaker 1: one of those counties and Kamala Harris receive more than
Speaker 1: three percent of the vote that was received by Joe
Speaker 1: Biden twenty twenty. In other words, the status quot didn't
Speaker 1: do well. But there's all kind of counties all over
Speaker 1: the country. In fact, almost a thousand of them that
Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump at least three percent more than
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump in twenty twenty. And the other factor
Speaker 1: is over three consecutive elections. I've not checked out William
Speaker 1: Jennings Bryant, who's a good friend of Tony Benders, but
Speaker 1: nonetheless he ran four times and more or less was
Speaker 1: a candidate. But this guy, over three election cycles, received
Speaker 1: about two hundred and ten million votes in those three cycles.
Speaker 1: Now a great number of that two hundred and ten
Speaker 1: are the same person voting, but just taking it saying
Speaker 1: you had this guy. If somebody would look at the
Speaker 1: results one hundred years from now, assuming we were still around,
Speaker 1: and somebody would look back in the way back in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, there was this guy named Trump that
Speaker 1: received two hundred and ten million votes over three election cycles.
Speaker 1: No one's even close to that. He went through, shall
Speaker 1: we say, the impossible, the gauntlet to come see ran
Speaker 1: the gauntlet with the Algonquin, which no one survived the
Speaker 1: gauntlet because you were killed. But in this case, the
Speaker 1: gauntlet was run by Donald Trump of the lawsuits, the charges,
Speaker 1: the indictments, the assassination attempts, the negative media coverage thither
Speaker 1: and fro, garbage in, garbage out. He came out of
Speaker 1: it as a magnificent Renaissance eagle with his wings flapping,
Speaker 1: about to take office, we hope on January the twentieth,
Speaker 1: and when the story is written, I know the personal
Speaker 1: feelings one might have towards the Trumpster must color your opinion,
Speaker 1: and mine are positive. Many in the media is negative.
Speaker 1: But how remarkable was the gauntlet run by Tacumpsey and
Speaker 1: the gauntlet run by also I might add Simon Kenton
Speaker 1: ran the gauntlet. We can describe the gauntlet later on,
Speaker 1: But what this guy went through between twenty fifteen and
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, a ten year period, is unprecedented in
Speaker 1: American history. And so I would ask you, did God
Speaker 1: have something to do with the election of Donald Trump?
Speaker 1: Had had to be something divine. There's a question in
Speaker 1: there somewhere.
Speaker 3: I was going to say, Curragham. I'm trying to find
Speaker 3: the questions. There was a lot of statements in a
Speaker 3: lot of imagery that I am trying.
Speaker 2: I'm hearing you now.
Speaker 3: I've got two weeks of vacation. I'm going to be
Speaker 3: thinking about it all three weeks. The gods, you know
Speaker 3: that this is Yeah, I might. I might have an
Speaker 3: answer for you when we talk in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: But explain it to me if somebody had said to
Speaker 1: you after the auto just pick a point one of
Speaker 1: the indictments. Jack Smith was dramatic mar Lago, here we go,
Speaker 1: Ninja Warriors.
Speaker 3: I hate people who said I hate people who say
Speaker 3: I told you so.
Speaker 1: I told you so.
Speaker 3: I said on TV. We have the tape multiple times.
Speaker 3: The exciting part is going to be in the Democratic primary,
Speaker 3: not in the Republican primary. Everybody wanted to talk about how,
Speaker 3: oh this is going to be the year of Tim Scott.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, Okay, Look, Donald Trump won the election, the
Speaker 3: one because Americans were tired of the status quo. You know,
Speaker 3: cable news, talk radio, and America is about the future. Okay,
Speaker 3: around you know, the Christmas tree and at New Year's
Speaker 3: No one's going to be talking about the past, No
Speaker 3: one of the great parts of Americas. We talk about
Speaker 3: the future. And I think what Trump supporters and might look,
Speaker 3: I'm I call balls and strikes. My job is not
Speaker 3: to cheer lead my job is not to have my
Speaker 3: personal opinions get involved. The question now for Donald Trump
Speaker 3: is delivering. Everybody said he couldn't win the election. He did.
Speaker 3: Everybody said, now, everybody said, oh you can't, you can't
Speaker 3: run Washington this way, and managed by tweets with Elon
Speaker 3: Musk playing good cop, bad cop. Well, we'll see the
Speaker 3: results of speaks themselves. You made a great point. One
Speaker 3: hundred years from now. One hundred years from now, people
Speaker 3: aren't going to look back on the elections and talk
Speaker 3: about whether he ran the gauntlet or not.
Speaker 2: There's no there's no president remembered.
Speaker 3: There's no president remembered for winning elections. Presidents are judged
Speaker 3: by results. Okay, If we think back about the great presidencies, say,
Speaker 3: think about Lincoln. We don't talk about Lincoln winning the election.
Speaker 3: We talk about Lincoln keeping the Union together, okay, and
Speaker 3: what he did, what he said. We don't think about,
Speaker 3: you know, one of my my personal favorites, Eisenhower. We
Speaker 3: don't talk about his massive landslide election victories. We talk
Speaker 3: about his enormous successes rebuilding the military, the Eisenhower interstate system,
Speaker 3: bringing industrialization through America and manufacturing and setting up you know,
Speaker 3: the great economic expansion that would go on for decades
Speaker 3: and decades. We don't have to talk about Ronald Reagan's
Speaker 3: great electoral victory in nineteen eighty four or what he
Speaker 3: set up for AH W. Bush and eighty eight. We
Speaker 3: talk about what they do and that now, that now
Speaker 3: becomes the new challenge for Donald Trump, and so far
Speaker 3: he's off to a much better start than he was
Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen. And I hate say, we'll see.
Speaker 1: Those are a classic comment. It's because I go back
Speaker 1: to Abraham Lincoln, and you might recall in eighteen sixty
Speaker 1: he received about thirty seven percent of the vote and
Speaker 1: the country was going to be split up. It was ugly.
Speaker 1: He assassination attempts came through Cincinnati. There was a bomb
Speaker 1: put on a train that he should have been on.
Speaker 1: He switched cars, the bomb goes off, Abraham Lincoln is
Speaker 1: not killed. I think of FDR in in February of
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty three. He's getting some son in Miami. There's
Speaker 1: an assassin waiting for FDR coming off a train, and
Speaker 1: he had a small retinue at that point with him.
Speaker 1: Gunshots are fired and all of a sudden, the mayor
Speaker 1: of Chicago is killed and FDR is saved by this
Speaker 1: slimmest of margins. In nineteen sixty three, Lee Harvey Oswald,
Speaker 1: he has to get a job. He's gotta find work.
Speaker 1: There's two Texas school book depositories. On's in fort Worth.
Speaker 1: Once in Dallas, some manager said where you're going to
Speaker 1: go to Fort Worth as close to your home. But
Speaker 1: then the weekend before he starts work, someone got pregnant
Speaker 1: in the Dallas, Texas school Book depository and the manager said, well,
Speaker 1: Lee Harvey Oswald, instead of going to Doubt, instead of
Speaker 1: going to Fort Worth, you go to the Texas school
Speaker 1: Book Depository in Dallas. That's where you're going to work.
Speaker 1: The twist and turns of history. When the Trumpsters in
Speaker 1: Butler County, Pennsylvania, he normally doesn't refer to the immigration
Speaker 1: map until later on in his speech. For some reason,
Speaker 1: the map was up. He turned to his right to
Speaker 1: reference the immigration map. The bullet whizzes by his ear,
Speaker 1: clips off a little piece of flesh instead of the
Speaker 1: right side of the right side of his brain, And
Speaker 1: those little twist and turns of history determined the outcome
Speaker 1: of so many great elections. If Richard Nixon had said,
Speaker 1: you know what, when he first discovered about the break
Speaker 1: in at the at the DNC and the Watergate, would
Speaker 1: have said let's clean that up immediately. That's not his instincts.
Speaker 1: So the twist and turns of history are such that
Speaker 1: we have no idea what's going to happen in the future.
Speaker 1: I hope Donald Trump survives until January the twentieth. There's
Speaker 1: still a Iranian assassination teams out there to get him.
Speaker 1: All that. If somebody would say, as you said, in
Speaker 1: a classic way, elections are about the future, not the past,
Speaker 1: because people don't remember exactly what happened in nineteen seventy
Speaker 1: two with McGovern. I think you and I probably do.
Speaker 1: It's about the future. If a year from now we
Speaker 1: are together, God willing, and we are together in December
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five, and we have peace in the world,
Speaker 1: we have American economic expansion, the southern border somehow is
Speaker 1: locked down, only legals are brought in, the illegal gangs
Speaker 1: are shipped out of the country, and there's po's Americana
Speaker 1: over the world. We would have said, boy, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: had a great, great first year. If, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: there's complete gridlock in Washington, there's some national international event
Speaker 1: we can't even conjure. We have no idea what's going
Speaker 1: to happen, and the Trump's has got a bad reaction
Speaker 1: into it. Or if some catastrophe strikes the world, which
Speaker 1: will be a use of a nuclear weapon in Eastern
Speaker 1: Europe and all heals break and loose China invased, invages Taiwan,
Speaker 1: and then we're in a completely different course. And at
Speaker 1: this point I think the country is better off. You
Speaker 1: calls ball, you call balls and strikes. I tend to
Speaker 1: be a little more subjective in my analysis, but I
Speaker 1: could not imagine a world right now in which Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris is the president elect and that Tim Waltz is
Speaker 1: ready to be the president of the Senate vice president.
Speaker 1: I could not imagine that world just as we sit
Speaker 1: here toward the toward the end of December. Would you
Speaker 1: say that there's a sense it's morning in America spelt
Speaker 1: the right way and uh, and that the catastrophe of
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris did not take place? Can you say that Leland.
Speaker 3: Vitters, Oh boy, it's Friday before Christmas and you're trying.
Speaker 1: To get me in trouble.
Speaker 3: These are the days that you talk about hot chocolate,
Speaker 3: rest peas and your favorite Christmas Carol.
Speaker 1: I want to be a little deeper because I have hope.
Speaker 1: But what's happening with the balance?
Speaker 3: This is okay, I'm gonna answer. I'm gonna give you
Speaker 3: an answer, okay, only because I like you. The answer
Speaker 3: is this, if we look at the polling and we
Speaker 3: see the fact that a far greater percentage of Americans
Speaker 3: approve of the job Trump's doing than voted for him,
Speaker 3: it tells us that the American people are optimistic. Yes,
Speaker 3: and I think you are onto something that that same
Speaker 3: feeling would not exist with Kamala Harris and with Tim Walls,
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you dot dot dot are reason why.
Speaker 3: One of the great American scandals, and we are just
Speaker 3: now learning about how deep it was and how perverse
Speaker 3: it was and remains, is the cover up of Joe Biden's.
Speaker 7: Health and the fact that that same regime would be
Speaker 7: re elected and would now be coming into power and
Speaker 7: the same people who lied and covered up and gaslighted
Speaker 7: about his health and his competence.
Speaker 3: That I think would have a profound effect on America's
Speaker 3: trust in the democracy and in the idea and in
Speaker 3: the institutions. I know no greater threat to democracy than
Speaker 3: a White House for four years essentially run by a
Speaker 3: chief of staff and the first Lady, with this group
Speaker 3: of cabinet secretaries and lawyers and doctors, and the Vice
Speaker 3: President covering it up, and the media to a large
Speaker 3: extent not asking questions about it. So I think if
Speaker 3: there's a reason that right now things would be very
Speaker 3: different if Kamala Harris had been elected, that's it.
Speaker 1: I have hope. All we have is hope. And if
Speaker 1: those kinds of lies and deceptions would succeed, the countries
Speaker 1: in worse shape than it might be. Leland Vettered, great comment,

Speaker 1: to go to the Dent Movie Drive in a neat
Speaker 1: popcorn in the back row. That's all I can say.
Speaker 1: I won't get more specific seg Man, you and this station.
Speaker 1: How did it all begin?
Speaker 11: Well, he, let's see, I was at the NKU and
Speaker 11: we were in a broadcast law class with a gentleman
Speaker 11: by the name of doctor Byron Wrins.
Speaker 1: So you're in a what kind of class broadcast law?
Speaker 1: We had to take it at KU.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and we had a report on like these broadcast
Speaker 11: like Supreme Court issues and this.
Speaker 1: And Thatfore was this seventy eight?
Speaker 11: This was probably a night Yeah, probably there probably nineteen eighty.
Speaker 1: Who was president of nineteen eighty.
Speaker 11: I didn't I didn't really care go ahead, So I
Speaker 11: just sat there. And all of a sudden he said, oh,
Speaker 11: by the way, WLW is looking for somebody to write
Speaker 11: up sports on the weekends. And little seg Man said,
Speaker 11: remember that light bulb that went up above your head
Speaker 11: flick bingo, and before that, before that, in the morning,
Speaker 11: from six am to nine, I went down and parked
Speaker 11: in the old Pogues parking lot where you people don't
Speaker 11: know where that is anymore, walked across the street into
Speaker 11: the Crew Tower in its glory.
Speaker 1: Days, back when men were men.
Speaker 11: Went up the elevator to fifteen thirty w c k
Speaker 11: Y sat next to two illustrious or three illustrious gentlemen
Speaker 11: in the broadcast industry, Mark Neely don Herman and Bill Serell.
Speaker 11: Don Herman was a living legend in Yes, and I did.
Speaker 11: I produced their health well, they had an airplane. I
Speaker 11: produced their traffic reports, and I left. I left school.
Speaker 11: I thought, well that day and he announced that I
Speaker 11: remember it was snowing, so I took a I took
Speaker 11: a tank bus tank from Highland Heights the Dixie Terminal,
Speaker 11: went into three's fourth Street. Applied A couple of weeks later,
Speaker 11: this was probably mid September. The Great Bill ride Now
Speaker 11: recalled me on a Saturday afternoon at my house and said, said,
Speaker 11: you want to come work with What come work for us?
Speaker 11: I said, yes, sir, been here ever since. Bill was
Speaker 11: nineteen seventy eight seventy nine.
Speaker 1: Bill, right in the beginning, What did you do? Seventy
Speaker 1: eight seventy nine eighty before I saw the talent in you?
Speaker 1: In eighty three, What did you do? It was helicopter
Speaker 1: Trafford that tell the America.
Speaker 11: I sat in a booth, sat outside, worked with the
Speaker 11: music professor Jim Lebarbara kept the log for him. I
Speaker 11: was in a booth with about six to eight or
Speaker 11: nine police scanners a in a a pad of paper,
Speaker 11: and I would write down the accidents and send him
Speaker 11: up to then Bill Behar in the helicopter. Gosh, this
Speaker 11: was thenters right.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden it's like, well, okay,
Speaker 1: may then I say this, Nancy McCormick, rest in peace,
Speaker 1: Amen to that, please continue.
Speaker 11: And then all of a sudden Willy thought, well, you know,
Speaker 11: let's do this thing. And all of a sudden I
Speaker 11: got hooked in with Andy Mack and the Great Bob
Speaker 11: Trumpy and everybody, and what year was out about eighty
Speaker 11: about saying eighty yeah, because my for my first game,
Speaker 11: I uh my first they said you're going to get
Speaker 11: a red's pass because they wanted more stuff from the
Speaker 11: clubhouse in that other than Joe Joe star of the
Speaker 11: Game show.
Speaker 1: You want half more time tape, three quarters of the
Speaker 1: yeah I got. I was. I started getting tape. You
Speaker 1: were like a microphone stand right, here's a plump one.
Speaker 1: All we saw you was that's what and that's all
Speaker 1: I needed. I used to tell people that Mike's that
Speaker 1: Mike's clip right there. I used to get paid twenty
Speaker 1: five dollars to put it to get it on TV
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars. It wasn't the truth. I just I
Speaker 1: was just right.
Speaker 11: I was just right there, and I put that I
Speaker 11: put our logo right in the middle of everything.
Speaker 1: I vaguely recall seg Man. Yeah, in the summer of
Speaker 1: eighty three, when Randy Michaels bought the station and said
Speaker 1: to his lawyer, me do evenings for a while and
Speaker 1: we'll find somebody else. Right, when did we begin the
Speaker 1: Stuge report, the Stooge report.
Speaker 11: Well, he came through the high school football score we
Speaker 11: did on Friday nighty I don't know, I mean right,
Speaker 11: a couple of years, probably after you started.
Speaker 1: Yid Man says, eighty five. What do you say. I
Speaker 1: would say that's probably true, because up to that point
Speaker 1: we didn't know what the hell we were doing. No, well,
Speaker 1: you were doing legal advice every night. And then they
Speaker 1: then they introduced the truck and Bozo. He came in
Speaker 1: with Randy Michaels, and I said, you look like an
Speaker 1: armpit with eyes.
Speaker 11: I thought he had the real clown suit on. I'm thinking,
Speaker 11: man Jack, But the Bozo was the greatest.
Speaker 1: That was eighty four, correct, because Bozo ruled the overnight
Speaker 1: rate was the king Amen from midnight. In fact, I
Speaker 1: was on nine pm to one am from a year
Speaker 1: and a half. Correct. When they brought into Bozo under
Speaker 1: the leadership of Randy Michaels, he began a nine to
Speaker 1: five and I said, thank god, yes, I had cases
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock in the morning. Correct, didn't get the
Speaker 1: I didn't sleep till three or four, got up at
Speaker 1: seven and I said, thank god you're here. And at
Speaker 1: some point thereafter I'd say a couple years we had
Speaker 1: the idea of why don't we do on Friday nights
Speaker 1: the Friday football follies, that's correct, And then from that
Speaker 1: I would go out to various high schools and do
Speaker 1: pep rallies right and the assembled crowd to generate excitement
Speaker 1: for the station. And now instead of we going to them,
Speaker 1: they come to us. They come to us. So don't
Speaker 1: want to keep doing it for full circle. We'll get

Speaker 1: dot com com, Bully Cunningham and as the radio works. Today.
Speaker 1: This is the last day many of us will be
Speaker 1: on the air with you until in my case, January
Speaker 1: the second. Normally between now in the middle of January,
Speaker 1: I go into my Southern Command, get in my double
Speaker 1: wide near Cape Coral, Florida, and enjoy some golf with
Speaker 1: friends and family and things of that character. But this
Speaker 1: year is different because my wife, the People's Judge, suffered
Speaker 1: an injury during a match, a little bit of rugby
Speaker 1: match she was in and suffered some a little bit
Speaker 1: of a broken here and have broken there. I'm going
Speaker 1: to spend time with her. Not good to travel in
Speaker 1: those conditions, so I'm going to nurse her back to
Speaker 1: health as a good man should. So I'll be with
Speaker 1: you well during the month of January. We're scheduled to
Speaker 1: be elsewhere. But in reality, you know, many times things
Speaker 1: happen as you plan your life, and this is one
Speaker 1: of those little bit of a ripples in the road,
Speaker 1: which Penny will overcome with great alacrity and also faith
Speaker 1: in God Almighty, and the best medical care in the world.
Speaker 1: I especially want to thank the good men and women
Speaker 1: at the Christ Hospital. Spend some time there. Now she's
Speaker 1: back home and taking care of her and I love
Speaker 1: doing that also, so I don't complain because I have
Speaker 1: new respect for those who are caregivers to love ones
Speaker 1: that are not capable of getting better over time. And
Speaker 1: she will get better, but many are involved with it
Speaker 1: with parents or kids that do not get better, in
Speaker 1: fact get worse, and that is not her circumstance. So
Speaker 1: I will be with you through January and a good
Speaker 1: part of February, and I'll delay our trips to the
Speaker 1: Southern Command, and I want to thank you again. iHeartMedia
Speaker 1: for building me in Southwest Florida beautiful studio so I
Speaker 1: can spend more time with you. Secondly, we have an
Speaker 1: extravaganza on Christmas morning. I'm putting together of Eddie Fingers
Speaker 1: will be with us on Christmas morning and Rock which
Speaker 1: is a sacrifice for him because of his three boys.
Speaker 1: And Mike McConnell, who's going to spend in April next year,
Speaker 1: five months from now, complete his fiftieth year in radio again.
Speaker 1: When he was nineteen years old, and he's kicking it still.
Speaker 1: And then also to my far right will be Scott Sloan,
Speaker 1: not politically but positionally, and we're going to talk about things.
Speaker 1: And I have listed things to do, but I want
Speaker 1: to hear from you seven four nine, seven thousand pounds,
Speaker 1: seven hundred couple issues quickly. Within one minute, I'll go
Speaker 1: to telephone calls. And that is that. One of the
Speaker 1: issues coming up next year is going to be the
Speaker 1: treatment of city Council and the mayor. And I want
Speaker 1: to give two or three council members some props, including
Speaker 1: Evan Nolan, for what they're doing with the more liberal
Speaker 1: members of city Council who are violating a court order
Speaker 1: by saying that we're going to study the problem for
Speaker 1: the next sixty days and decide what to do with homelessness.
Speaker 1: In my hands is the court order under date of
Speaker 1: August sixteenth, twenty eighteen, about six years and four months ago,
Speaker 1: in which the City of Cincinnati agreed under a court
Speaker 1: order to quickly remove illegal encampments that are often mobile
Speaker 1: and are moving nuisances that constitute a hazard of health
Speaker 1: and safety of the general public, including those living in
Speaker 1: illegal homeless encampments, and I'm reading the order, which is
Speaker 1: about what eight pages long, and it's in effect as
Speaker 1: I speak, And I know that the Attorney General, David
Speaker 1: Yost i had on a few days ago, is looking
Speaker 1: into this thing because if the city will not enforce
Speaker 1: the law, maybe it's up to the state to enforce
Speaker 1: the law. Much like with sanctuary city sanctuary states. If
Speaker 1: the cities and blue states do not enforce the law,
Speaker 1: when federal law just describes who and who is not
Speaker 1: illegal or legal, then the Feds will get involved and
Speaker 1: do it. Right now, we have a disengaged see now
Speaker 1: president who is continuing on a disgusting pardon spree and
Speaker 1: the media won't cover his senility because it doesn't fit
Speaker 1: their political wit wants and whims. But we have those
Speaker 1: those issues and more what to do with homelessness in
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati, which is proliferating. I received almost
Speaker 1: daily large numbers of picks from individuals of homelessness, Homeless
Speaker 1: individuals living underneath bridges as I speak, continuing to do
Speaker 1: so against the law in the city. The city police
Speaker 1: department will not enforce the statues. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: calls and who will be the first caller, and who
Speaker 1: will be the last caller of twenty twenty four. I
Speaker 1: will be with you, God willing on January the second
Speaker 1: and third, which are Thursday and Friday after the new year,
Speaker 1: and God willing about every day in the month of January.
Speaker 1: Let's continue. First of all, we'll go to Bill, and
Speaker 1: then Teresa seven four nine, seven thousand, Dave and many others.
Speaker 1: The top caller doesn't have a name. Let's get the name,
Speaker 1: sir or madam. What is your name and what would
Speaker 1: you like to discuss?
Speaker 2: Dight? My name is Dwight.
Speaker 1: All right, Dwright, give me a full report, okay.
Speaker 2: The question of how hot it got to melt or
Speaker 2: be formed? The bridge girders under four to.
Speaker 10: Seventy one bridge, the mulch used in the playground with
Speaker 10: a synthetic mulch made out of shredded tires which.
Speaker 2: Enabled it to get very very hot.
Speaker 10: Is you it can tell by these tars that get
Speaker 10: on fire by accident places. And it was put down
Speaker 10: by a landscaper who is also a city fireman.
Speaker 1: Okay. And the reason I've seen these tire fires happen
Speaker 1: and they go on for months and they can't be
Speaker 1: put out and also on top of that tire mulch.
Speaker 1: Mulch was a large playset and this wasn't a typical place.
Speaker 1: It was this. It was fifty by eighty feet place
Speaker 1: of restructured plastic. And so you take the tire fire
Speaker 1: lighting up this plastic, it would burn for a long
Speaker 1: time and that's what created the two thousand degrees that
Speaker 1: melted the girders. And I'm waiting, here's someone to tell me.
Speaker 1: Was it a homeless encampment, which is what Dan Hill's,
Speaker 1: the chief of the police officer says, Or was it
Speaker 1: these three or four bums and derelicts and are now
Speaker 1: locked up just decided to set something on fire for
Speaker 1: the hell of it. We still don't know, Dwight. We
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that question.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 10: And the fire department, you know, had a hell of
Speaker 10: a time putting that far out with the close of
Speaker 10: the plastic and the tires right.
Speaker 1: In fact, it took hours to put to put it out,
Speaker 1: and by that point the damage was done. Well, Dwight,
Speaker 1: Me and you and yours have a merry Christmas and
Speaker 1: a happy New Year, and thanks.
Speaker 10: For listening, okay, and Merry Christmas, Bill.
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, and who will be the last caller with
Speaker 1: me of twenty twenty four? It could be you. We
Speaker 1: have two lines opened five and three, seven four, nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand or pounds seven hundredth New eighteen team. What
Speaker 1: would you do? What would you do with the homeless
Speaker 1: situation in the city or what other kind salutations do
Speaker 1: you want to provide? Let's go to Bill and then
Speaker 1: Teresa and Dave and then Russell and many others. Bill,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bill Cunningham showing Bill, what do you got?
Speaker 2: How you doing, sir?
Speaker 12: Doing this one of the wish you and said and
Speaker 12: your families are very happy and prosperous. Merry Christmas in
Speaker 12: New Year. I've been listening to you for as long
Speaker 12: as you've been doing the radio. It's great listening to you.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I appreciate I enjoy it. I enjoy it.
Speaker 12: One more thing before I go, thank you?
Speaker 1: Yes, how about Carry Combs coming back? Maybe if things
Speaker 1: don't go with Ryan Day well, and my sources in
Speaker 1: Columbus tell me that if he doesn't win the national championship,
Speaker 1: he's gone, which I think is stupid. Ninety seven and
Speaker 1: one against the Big ten other than Michigan one in
Speaker 1: four against the Big ten. So putting that all together,
Speaker 1: he's ninety eight and five in the Big ten. Ninety
Speaker 1: eight and five, and that's not good enough.
Speaker 12: I can't believe that.
Speaker 2: Ninety eight and amazing. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: People. I talked to the powerbrokers at Ohio State. They
Speaker 1: tell me he's gone, and they've already got one or
Speaker 1: two people that are looking at I'm going, are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Ninety eight and five and that's not good enough.
Speaker 2: That's the world we live in.
Speaker 1: Will he let me answer you this bill? If you
Speaker 1: could change something about our station, can you think of
Speaker 1: something you would change or something you would compliment?
Speaker 12: Well, I compliment you guys. You know, Mike McConnell was great.
Speaker 2: I think you do a great stamp there. Keep it going.
Speaker 2: Maybe you want a little bit longer.
Speaker 1: Well, I told Donald Trump that I would be here
Speaker 1: as his right flank in the Northwest Territories as long
Speaker 1: as he's the president. I will be here to defend
Speaker 1: him here and we'll see what happens down the road.
Speaker 1: If I'm blessed with good health. You know, I just
Speaker 1: turned seventy seven years old a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: but I kind of quote the George Strait song, I
Speaker 1: still feel thirty five most of the time, and I
Speaker 1: enjoyed life. I'm motivated every I get up. I want
Speaker 1: to do this. When I want to get up in
Speaker 1: the morning and not want to do this. Now, I
Speaker 1: know it's time. Or if large numbers of people quit
Speaker 1: listening to me, or advertisers quit advertising with me, then
Speaker 1: I know it's time to go. But at this point, Hell,
Speaker 1: I think I might have another five to ten years
Speaker 1: left to me. What do you think?
Speaker 12: Keep it going, Willie, I'm seventy four, I'm three years younger.
Speaker 10: I got your team here.
Speaker 12: Keep me in your prayers.
Speaker 3: Let's keep it going.

Speaker 13: when did the Scent of Seg come out?
Speaker 1: Uh, Liam, producer, go into the system and find the
Speaker 1: scent of Seg if you can. That was about nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three, and the Seg wanted to monetize his so
Speaker 1: called popularity and have the Scent of Seg, which was
Speaker 1: a beautiful male cologne, be sold for the holidays.
Speaker 6: But you know, uh, hopfully nothing like Gwen Paltrow's candles.
Speaker 1: Not exactly, but nonetheless it wasn't a great financial success.

Speaker 1: Ki last night in Los Angelesday they win next Sunday,
Speaker 1: it's gonna keep going on up. It's eight percent. Now
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. If we get through Sunday in good shape,
Speaker 1: it's going to be about twenty five percent. And then
Speaker 1: when they play Denver here, if they beat Denver here,
Speaker 1: which is likely, it'll be fifty or sixty percent. Then
Speaker 1: if Denver loses playing Kansas City, and the Bengals beat Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: then the Colts in Miami each lose at least one
Speaker 1: game of the next three. Then they're to the playoffs
Speaker 1: segment would you be shocked and amazed? No, because that's
Speaker 1: what I'm counting on me too. Segment. Thank you, Sir,
