WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:09.439 By Billy Cunning in the Great American and coming up 2 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.720 later as Rets manager Terry Francona brought the prospects for 3 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.320 the twenty twenty five Reds. And also we have later 4 00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.000 on scheduled Mowagger to talk about Xavier basketball and what's 5 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.480 happening in the in March tournament games and in the 6 00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.719 studio with me. It's viavek Ramaswami Viveke. Welcome again to 7 00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:25.960 the Bill Cunning mshow vivic. How are you good to 8 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.079 be here in person this time? And this is unbelieved 9 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:28.960 you're sitting right here. 10 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:30.719 Yeah, I love it. Oh, it's better this way. 11 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.159 Let's get into the issues. You were born and raised 12 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.880 to hear Springfield township, even Dale went to Princeton. And 13 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.399 the thing that I think many people want to know 14 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:41.840 is why are you running for governor. You're a billionaire, 15 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.719 You're connected to the Trumpster, You're at the inaugural right 16 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.640 next to the president. You have all the things going 17 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.840 for You're a young guy, like thirty eight or thirty 18 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.840 nine years old, and uh, and in politics is something 19 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.200 that most guys your age don't want to do it. 20 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.359 You have him money, you got your family, you got 21 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.719 your stuff to do. Dot why are you running for governor? 22 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.000 He raised some great points, But the reason I'm running 23 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.239 is I'm filled with gratitude to our country and to 24 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.560 our state. I've lived in American dream at a scale 25 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.159 that my parents would have never imagined when they came 26 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.920 here to Cincinnati forty five years ago, and I'm on 27 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:17.920 a mission to make sure we can actually pass that 28 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.599 on to my two kids and their generation. And I'm 29 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.400 worried that isn't going to happen unless we have leaders 30 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:23.480 who actually step up. 31 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:24.079 Now. 32 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:26.319 Prison Trump is ushering in a golden age for the country, 33 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.200 and I'm incredibly proud to watch what he's doing. But 34 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.200 what a lot of what he's doing is shifting responsibility 35 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.840 back to the states and to the people where it belongs. 36 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.359 Look at the shutdown of the Department of Education just 37 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.239 last week as a good example. That's a great first step, 38 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.599 but it's then going to fall on the states and 39 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.079 the people. That's what our founders envisioned to get the 40 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.159 job done. So Billy, that highlighted to me that being 41 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.680 a governor was the right step for me to make 42 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.480 a positive impact on the country, and also to do 43 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.159 it in the state where I was born and raised 44 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.400 where I'm raising my kids, and my vision for Ohio 45 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.439 isn't just for us to be one one of the 46 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.560 better states in the Midwest, which in fairness we are 47 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.439 right now. I don't want us to be one of 48 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.560 the better states in the Midwest. I want us to 49 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.240 be the best state in the country to raise a family, 50 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.240 to start a business, to create generate wealth and keep 51 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.520 that wealth, and to give our kids the same conviction 52 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.800 that Neil Armstrong and John Glenn and the Wright brothers 53 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.120 had when they grew up in Ohio. That's what I 54 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.680 want to bring back. And I think it's going to 55 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.400 take a different generation of leadership in the. 56 00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.199 Citevag Ohio is unique on the northern shore with lots 57 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.400 of water, southern shore lots of water. We have flat 58 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.159 land because of the applies to the seene Age when 59 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.680 the Great Glacier came down from the North Pole and 60 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.240 they scraped Ohio clean all the way to the Seven 61 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.560 Hills of Cincinnati. That's why it's flat. Great farming community. 62 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.960 And I see eight major cities. I see manufacturing, I 63 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.439 see interstate highway systems, I see public education. Within the 64 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.960 sound of my voice got my University, got NKU, got Xavier. 65 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.639 You see Indiana, you have Thomas Moore, you have mount S, 66 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:00.400 You got all of these colleges. 67 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:00.680 Ready to go. 68 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.280 But Ohio is losing population and I don't know if 69 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.840 there's a GDP in Ohio. I can't imagine it is 70 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.759 going up a lot. Is what's wrong with Ohio? 71 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.280 Well, I would say, at our core, nothing's wrong with Ohio. 72 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.560 At our core, we're the greatest state, at the heart 73 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.280 of the greatest nation known to mankind. We have the 74 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.879 same God given gifts we did when we led the 75 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:25.919 first Industrial Revolution, same fertile farmland, same natural resources underneath 76 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.719 our ground, including oil and natural gas in our own state, 77 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.759 our geographic position. You think about this way better than 78 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.439 Florida or Texas. We've got sixty percent of North America's 79 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.759 population within a single day's drive of where you and 80 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.960 I are sitting right now. So God has blessed our 81 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.800 state with every gift we could wish for to be 82 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.840 the leading state in the country. All we have to 83 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.439 do is actually start believing in ourselves again. You want 84 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.000 to know, you ask me what's wrong. It's a crisis 85 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.360 of self confidence in this state. And I think we 86 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.680 have every reason to believe in ourselves. There are some 87 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.680 changes we need to make. We need to become a 88 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.639 zero income tax state. I think we need to bring 89 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.400 down the regulatory burden to create new jobs and to 90 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.120 build new businesses in the state. But at the core 91 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.759 of the natural foundations of Ohio, we have every reason 92 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.800 to believe in ourselves. The problem right now is we 93 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.240 have a population decline issue. And you talk about jobs, jobs, jobs, 94 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.519 you and I were talking about that before. 95 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.319 I agree with that. 96 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.519 We don't have enough good people who are able to 97 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.000 fill those jobs that new businesses may bring to our state. 98 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.560 And here's why. Part of it is we have a 99 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.079 fertility issue. People are having fewer kids in our state. 100 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:32.959 Part of it is when they do have kids, those 101 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.279 kids go out to other states once they get education 102 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.879 here to live their American dreams somewhere else. That creates 103 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.399 a demographic issue where we have Actually the death rate 104 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.759 is going up with an older population and younger people 105 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.439 leaving the state. We're number thirty eight now within people 106 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.680 moving in versus out Texas thirty eight. Yes, Florida's number one. 107 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.199 Texas is number two. We are number thirty eight. Billy 108 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.879 in twenty twenty, we reached an all time low at 109 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.240 that time. Now it's even lower for our fertility rate. 110 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.319 We have more people moving out of our state than in. 111 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.639 We're one of the only red states that's in that category. 112 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.560 That's got to change, and it's got to change. 113 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:11.920 Educations and crisis. 114 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.040 You went to Princeton, Yes, I read in the newspapers 115 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.079 that if Princeton fails the levy in a month or two, 116 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.680 they're going to shut down two elementary schools, one of 117 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.800 what you probably went to. It's also had the money. 118 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.360 It's very personal to me, so Roberty Lucas Intermediate School 119 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.920 RELIS out in Sharonville. I went there for sixth grade 120 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.079 at a magnet program. Relis shut down. RELIS doesn't exist 121 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.240 as a school today. And actually, I mean the teacher there, 122 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.160 Missus Kenney, she changed my life. She passed away a 123 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.240 couple of years ago in an accident, but she was 124 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.519 somebody who saw potential in me that I didn't even 125 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.920 know I had, lit a fire under my feet, got 126 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.360 me to work harder. I credit her for my journey 127 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.800 in living the American dream in the way that I have. 128 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.399 But we're not getting teachers like Missus Kinney anymore because 129 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:56.279 there is no meritocracy in compensation. Right, I've lived the 130 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.800 American dream. You have Donald Trump, Elon Musk, you could 131 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.560 have a wide range of bezos, Bill Gates. They've all 132 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.959 lived the American dream. And that's great, that rags to 133 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.480 riches story through business. But I think the question we 134 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.600 got to asked Billy is do we really think a 135 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.480 public school teacher in the year twenty twenty five in 136 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.720 the state of Ohio can live the American dream? 137 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.600 And we don't make enough money? 138 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:19.920 Right exactly right now? 139 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:21.600 The answer to that question, sadly is now. 140 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:22.839 Five thousand dollars. 141 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.199 It's unbelievable. That is the starting side. 142 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.120 It's a little under forty five thousand dollars the average 143 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.680 starting salary for a new teacher across America, and this 144 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.319 is true in Ohio too. That's got to change, but 145 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.040 we've got to do it according to a meritocracy, which 146 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.319 is what we don't have in our public schools. The 147 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.040 best teachers deserve to be paid a lot more than 148 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.720 they are right now, as determined by parental assessments. Parents 149 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.759 know whether their kids are really getting that right educational 150 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.399 experience or not. Peer assessments right, even principles and other 151 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.439 teachers in the school know who's doing a good job, 152 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.879 who's carrying their weight, and who isn't. And then also 153 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.759 we got to look at the proficiency of our students. 154 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.360 I mean, right now, seventy five percent of eighth graders. 155 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.199 Just to think about this for a second, three out 156 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:06.600 of four eighth graders are not proficient in math. That's unacceptable. 157 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.079 You got kids in China, on average, are four years 158 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.959 ahead of their counterpart in the US. What does that 159 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.519 mean a seventh grader here is performing at the same 160 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:21.519 academic performance as a third grader in China. That doesn't 161 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.240 work for me. I'm speaking as an Ohioan, as an American, 162 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:26.439 as a parent. Well, here's how we're gonna do it. 163 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:27.000 Well. 164 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.360 First of all, bring back the best teachers in meritocracy 165 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.120 in our schools, roll up our sleeves and actually get 166 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.839 into the curriculum, re emphasizing math, reading, writing, and critical 167 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:43.279 thinking instead of a lot of this sel dei indoctrination, victimhood, psychology, 168 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.480 reward performance. Get the cell phones out of the classroom, amen. 169 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.560 Bring back physical education which helps mental health at a 170 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.759 young age. Starting pe in kindergarten. Bring back the presidential 171 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:56.759 fitness test that you and I both had when we 172 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.319 were going through school. Yes, that includes the pull ups 173 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.600 I did mind this morning, I promise you. And that 174 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.839 doesn't mean it's going to be for everybody passing in 175 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.079 the same way, but it sets a standard for what 176 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.879 you actually want to achieve. Think about civic education. We're 177 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.560 totally missing civic education today. I think that every kid 178 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.920 who graduates from a high school in this state of 179 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.759 public high school should have to pass the same Civics 180 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:23.000 test that every legal immigrant has to pass before they 181 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.920 become a naturalized citizen. That's something we should expect of our 182 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.360 high school seniors, at least before they graduate from high school. 183 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.439 I want the Pledge of allegiance every morning with a 184 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:34.519 moment of silence to allow kids to fill that vacuum 185 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:38.679 of purpose and meaning in their heart, emphasize actual achievement, 186 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.440 and reward it both for the teachers and for the students. 187 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.799 It's a culture of achievement that I want to bring 188 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.399 back to our educational system. And I still think we 189 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.200 have time. We can write this ship, we can turn 190 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.200 this around. I want to lead Ohio Billy to be 191 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.279 the top state in the country and in the world 192 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.919 to give our kids that world class education. 193 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.919 Algosoms years ago. I can recall a big Intel plant. 194 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.279 It was going to generate tens of thousands of jobs 195 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.879 in and around Columbus, much fanfare. Intel the CEO is 196 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.039 now fired. Came I'm told there's billions of dollars worth 197 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.679 of infrastructure inside the ground. You can't see what happened 198 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.960 to the Intel plant in central Ohio. 199 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.679 Look, I want to be blunt about this. It's a 200 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.440 disappointment that it's on a five year delay now. The 201 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.759 timeline that we were supposed to have started seeing chips 202 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.080 being produced to that factories pushed out for five years. 203 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:29.480 There's a lot of reasons behind that. 204 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.679 My goal is not to curse the darkness, or to 205 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.799 blame anybody who came before me, or to blame anybody 206 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.000 on the outside. My goal is how do we actually 207 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.279 fix Ohio to make sure that the commitments that are 208 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.159 made to our state are actually followed through on a 209 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.600 timeline that serves the people of our state as well. 210 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.679 I also, as the governor, want to ask companies, frankly, 211 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.879 what can we be doing better as a state in 212 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.120 terms of our regulatory burden, cutting red tape, cutting the 213 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.840 tax burden, cutting the tax burden, and also putting more 214 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.679 money in people's pockets that improves the workforce issues that 215 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.639 we have in our state. So part of this is 216 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:04.360 the next governor of the state. I'm not looking to 217 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.759 blame anybody else. I'm looking to look ourselves in the 218 00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.399 mirror and say, what can we be doing better to 219 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.519 make sure that something like this doesn't happen again. With 220 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.399 five year delays baked in at the last second for 221 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.919 when they're supposed to have been producing instead of being 222 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:18.960 pushed out five years. 223 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.639 Is that a good thing? 224 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:20.840 Now? 225 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.279 I'm disappointed about it, but I'm also going to make 226 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.480 sure that we fix the issues that stop the companies 227 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.679 from being able to follow through on those commitments as well. 228 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.279 Veg Ramaswami. A few months ago, the powers that be 229 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.200 told me that you went down to Amar A Lago 230 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.360 and met with President Trump and he kind of wanted 231 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.559 you to run for the Senate. He wanted to appoint 232 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.320 you to the Senate, to the open seat of JD 233 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.919 Vance and you start work tomorrow, start work on Monday, 234 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:46.639 and you looked into the eye and said, let me 235 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.200 think about it, and you came back and said, no, 236 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.639 I do not want to be a US Senator and 237 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.519 he said what why? And then you said, I want 238 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:55.919 to be governor. And then the guy pigeonholed to be 239 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.279 the next governor senator. Now, John, you said, went went 240 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.279 down tomorrow, lag go with with Governor DeWine And he 241 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.440 had to be talked into running for the Senate because 242 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.960 the appointment was tomorrow. Why did you turn down the 243 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.440 US Senate seat of JD Vance to run for a 244 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.279 position that's like almost two years away as opposed to 245 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:14.519 taking the Senate immediately. 246 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.000 Well, look, I think that at a high level. 247 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.000 First of all, I want to thank President Trump for 248 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.080 setting such a good tone from the top. He won 249 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.159 with a decisive mandate that he's now delivering on, and 250 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.080 I'm optimistic about what he's going to accomplish. He and 251 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.679 I have had some great conversations over the years and 252 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.000 over the last year in particular, and what I shared 253 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.159 with him is, like him, I'm an executive, right. I 254 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.919 like to get things done, not just through the sausage 255 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.080 making of being you know, one of one hundred. So 256 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.080 it wasn't really my vision. But at the same time, 257 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.960 I told President Trump, I was open to serving this 258 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.639 country and whatever way would have a biggest impact. He 259 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:49.440 asked me, in my heart, what was that for me, 260 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.440 And in my heart, it was to be the next 261 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.480 government of the Senate. They are you can get a 262 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.639 lot done. All I do is talk and give great speech. 263 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.639 And you go to speech, you're fine, but you don't 264 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.320 get anything done when you're the govern I've been in 265 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.080 the governor's mansion, I've had dinner with them, and you 266 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:07.039 can actually order or demand something happen and it occurs. 267 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.279 Is that the reason for. 268 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.559 Me, it's about exactly the idea that you're going to 269 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.039 see the impact that you have. Right my older son 270 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:14.440 is going to be in high school by the time 271 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.879 I'm done with two terms as governor. To me, the 272 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.559 ability for him to grow up in a state where 273 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.559 the changes that we made to this state, the positive changes, 274 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.159 is something that my kids in their generation are going 275 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.360 to grow up in and I can see that impact 276 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.559 even on a daily basis. To me, that's rewarding. I'm 277 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:35.600 also somebody who believes in action. Actions speak louder than words. Okay, 278 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.240 there's a lot of people who can, as I said, 279 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.600 curse the darkness. There's fewer who can actually create value 280 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.399 and get things done. I'm a businessman. I've built multiple 281 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.519 successful businesses. I know how to select great people, put 282 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.200 them in positions, and give them deliverables and actually expect 283 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.559 hard results. I think we need more people who are 284 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.200 in the private sector to take their time in public 285 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:59.919 service to lead as executives, and particularly in this state, 286 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.240 we have such an opportunity Billy, first of all, to 287 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.759 just start marketing Ohio to the rest of the country. 288 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.200 That's something that frankly, I believe we have room to 289 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.360 do a lot better on. There's a lot to love 290 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.480 about the state. We have a beautiful northern coast, a 291 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.240 beautiful shoreline. We've got a national park in this state. 292 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:18.519 We've got the Ohio River to the Mississippi, the same 293 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.840 Erie Canal to New York City, a great geographic position. 294 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.120 We got to market that to the rest of the 295 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.639 country where people don't even know about the gifts that 296 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.639 Ohio has, the oil and natural gas underneath our ground. 297 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:31.919 When I go travel this country and talk about Ohio 298 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.279 in that way, it's eye opening for people. In fact, 299 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.679 there's even people I've met since I've started running for governor. 300 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.960 People from New Jersey to South Carolina, to Texas to 301 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:44.200 Florida who have told me personally they are already starting 302 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:47.399 the process of moving back to Ohio because they expect 303 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.919 me to be governor and to deliver on the changes 304 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:50.879 that I'm actually running on. 305 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.200 When you get rid of the income tax, Indiana wants 306 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.399 to do it. Many states. I think nineteen states don't 307 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.440 have a state income tax, and you'll lower the property tax, 308 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.799 especially for seniors income How do you pay the bills? 309 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.360 So first, so there's eight states there's zero income tax states. 310 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.200 If eight other states have done it, I want Ohio 311 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.000 to be next on the list and to lead the way. 312 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.360 Property taxes, we got it. They've gotten way too high 313 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.000 in the state. I mean, the truth of the matter 314 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.480 is if you're paying as much on your principal repayment 315 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.200 of your mortgage as you are in your property taxes, 316 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:21.679 it makes it feel a heck of a lot, like 317 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.559 the land that you own is really just a lease 318 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.799 from the government, and that's unjust. Okay, So we got 319 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.639 to put a cap on both those things. How are 320 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:30.840 you going to pay for it? Well, the number one 321 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.320 answer is the economic growth that you drive through our state. 322 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.600 That's gonna increase our sales tax revenue. That's gonna increase 323 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.200 the other revenue flowing into our state's bottom line as well. 324 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:41.559 And the other thing, Billy is, let's be really honest. 325 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.399 Are we wasting a lot of money in areas where 326 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.000 we shouldn't be. The uncomfortable answer to that question is 327 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:47.399 you know it, Yes. 328 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:51.000 Four letters doge four letters Ohio. Well, you bring DOSEE 329 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:51.639 to Ohio. 330 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:53.440 And the way we're going to do it in Ohio, 331 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.600 I want to be clear about this, is by putting 332 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.960 more money in people's pockets. That's what bringing it to 333 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.000 Ohio means is take the money that's being wasted on 334 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.679 things that don't affect your life and quite literally put 335 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.440 it in the pocket of Ohioans. Put it in the 336 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.200 bank account of our kids that can, with the benefit 337 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.320 of compound interest, allow them to graduate with six figure 338 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.759 graduation gifts when they get out of high school if 339 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.759 they've actually had that money compounding. And we're going to 340 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.720 come out with some very specific solutions on this, Billy 341 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.039 in the very near term. But bringing down the income 342 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.840 tax eventually down to zero, bringing down the property tax 343 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.399 burden are examples of ways that My vision for the 344 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.320 state is take the money that's being spent in ways 345 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.679 that don't help your lives to put it in your 346 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.720 pocket where it can help your lives. Create an economic 347 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.639 boom in the state of a kind that we haven't 348 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.039 seen since the Second Industrial Revolution, and have a population 349 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.080 boom in this state, so we can have not only jobs, jobs, jobs, 350 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.960 but jobs filled, jobs filled, jobs filled right here in 351 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:53.720 the state of Ohio. 352 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.039 How do it? Lastly, how do we judge you? Say 353 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.399 you're elected, your way up in the polls like thirty percent, 354 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:00.759 you have all the endorsements of every everyone that matters 355 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.240 in the state of Ohio. If I you and I 356 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.440 together in four years, I just signed a four year 357 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.519 contract extension. Yeah, if you and I together in four years, 358 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.440 how will I judge reveg Ramaswami on whether or not 359 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.159 you succeeded. 360 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.440 That's a good question. So it's not just the GDP growth. 361 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:16.519 We'll have GDP growth. 362 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.000 The metrics I want you to judge me on are 363 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.279 the number of people moving into our state versus out 364 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.840 of thirty eighth, not thirty eighth. Right now we're number 365 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.559 thirty eight. Florida's number one. Texas is number two. I 366 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:29.879 want Ohio to be number one. That's how I want 367 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:31.799 you to judge me. We're one of the few red 368 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.480 states that has more people moving out than in. That 369 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.399 will change when I'm governor. So I want you to 370 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.600 judge me on the number of people moving in versus out, 371 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.799 the number of kids born into families in our state, 372 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.919 the number of those kids who go on to remain 373 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.600 in our state to pursue their American dream in our 374 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.519 state of Ohio. Those are my metrics, and I want 375 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.120 to lead this state to be not just one of 376 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:58.639 the better states in our region. I want to lead 377 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.000 this state to be the top state in the United 378 00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:03.919 States of America on those metrics. And to those who 379 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.640 say that's too ambitious, you know what, it was not 380 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:10.279 long ago that Ohio was that state at the turn 381 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.880 of the last century. That was us in the nineteen fifties, 382 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.519 that was US when six of the top fifteen wealthiest 383 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:19.200 cities in America were right here in Ohio. I want 384 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.039 to be the governor that restores Ohio back to greatness, 385 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.799 not just to be a regional leader, but a national 386 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.119 leader so our kids can be proud of it and 387 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.680 can live the American dream. By staying here instead of leaving. 388 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.000 Have you spoken to Mike DeWine. 389 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:32.559 I have. 390 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:33.440 I've got to know him. 391 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.440 How's your relationship with him? Good? 392 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.319 From my standpoint, I've got to know him. I look 393 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.319 forward to building on the foundation that he has laid. Look, 394 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.720 there's a lot to like about the early movement towards 395 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.720 economic development. So you're going to hear from me, Billy, 396 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:48.720 as I leave this state, nothing but praise for the 397 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.319 good parts of what my predecessor left me. I want 398 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:54.240 to build on those foundations. But it's about where are 399 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.480 we run in two where are we leading this state? 400 00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.480 We want to chase the future while respecting the past. 401 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.319 Incredibly grateful for the positives of what Mike Dwine and 402 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.799 John Houston and hopefully now Jim Tressel are accomplishing. I 403 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.240 have nothing but praise for their love of this state. 404 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.079 I want to build on the foundation they've laid, but 405 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.720 to take this far further, and frankly from him and 406 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:16.720 others who have come before me, if they have great 407 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.119 advice on how we can be successful. 408 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:24.359 To play tennis, Yes, I used to a ball boy there, 409 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:26.920 so I was at I was running. 410 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:28.359 Around collected balls when I was when I was in 411 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:29.519 great school here. 412 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.599 We were all at the towel boy. Yeah, and occasionally 413 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.440 the players would be nice. They would hit with us 414 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:34.880 as well. 415 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.000 I played tennis at Saint X growing up, so we 416 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.640 would occasionally be hitting balls and warming up the players. 417 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.519 Last year I went and I take my kids down there. 418 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:43.319 Now every year. 419 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:45.319 I got to warm up with Ben Shelton and a 420 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.559 couple of the other American guys who were playing there. Yeah, 421 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:48.960 he's a good player, so he and I hit some 422 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.839 balls in the warm up courts. So I'll be out 423 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:51.200 there again. 424 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:52.000 What's your west Side? 425 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.440 If people need to know where you're going to be 426 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.640 and what your thoughts on are more concrete fashion, what's 427 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:56.240 your epsite? 428 00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.359 Sure, go to vivekefour Ohio dot com. That's vivat for 429 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.799 Ohio dot com. And my message, frankly, if you're a 430 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.480 Republican or a Democrat, I don't care learn more about 431 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.839 this campaign because I'm not in this to just lead 432 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:11.640 the Republican Party of Ohio. I want to lift up 433 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.920 every person in this state, black or white, Democrat or Republican. 434 00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:19.559 If you care about educational excellence and economic excellence for 435 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.359 your kids, then we're on the same team. We got 436 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:23.680 a seat for the we got a seat at the 437 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.920 table for you, and we're going to lead the entire 438 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:27.839 state and unite the state going forward. 439 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:29.119 Thank you very much. 440 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.000 Communication Open Bill Cunningham News next at show of the 441 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:39.039 Red's News Radio seven hundred wlw H Right, Billy Cunningham, 442 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.720 the great American. And you get around certain characters and think, 443 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.839 you know what, that guy's got it. Whatever it is, 444 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:50.319 veg Ramaswami has it and politically it reminds me almost 445 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.440 of the Kennedy so when they, of course were alive 446 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:56.640 and they inspired young folks to do special things. And 447 00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:59.279 it's wonderful and I'm glad that he turned down the 448 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.160 opportunity serving the US Senate. He'd be one of one 449 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:04.519 hundred as the governor of Ohio, who'll be one of 450 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.160 one and we need that and badly. And I love 451 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.599 this tet. I love where I was born, born in Covington, 452 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.200 raised here. I think it's wonderful to have a guy 453 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:16.200 who's a multi billionaire who wants to take his talents 454 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.359 and bring it to the state government in Ohio. Open 455 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.279 up the windows, let the fresh air roll in, so 456 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.440 we'll see what happens. Down the road right now. David 457 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.240 yost Is, the Attorney General, also announced he's going to 458 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.160 run for governor. And also Amy Acton, Yes, Amy Acton, 459 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.599 that's same doctor. Amy Acton wants to run as a Democrat. 460 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.640 Good luck with that. Of course. Out there in the hinterlands, 461 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:40.000 you have Shared Brown et cetera. Who is the He's 462 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:43.640 in his seventies, he works at Harvard, and he may 463 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:47.160 run for governor against Vivek Ramaswami, which would be a 464 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:51.200 pretty clear differential between the past and the future. And Ohio, 465 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:55.319 I know, is perceived as being similar to Pennsylvania or Michigan, 466 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.039 which it is not. We're much better positioned for all 467 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.519 kinds of reasons, and we're kind of spinning in the 468 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.599 mud here and drive and we need to go forward 469 00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:08.079 and I think vive Ramaswami is the guy that can 470 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.640 do that. But let's see down the road what occurs. 471 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.960 The primaries not until May of next year. And he 472 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.480 did go to Sant X High School. I think he 473 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:20.359 tried to get into Deer Park but had residency problems. 474 00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:22.839 Went to Sant X High School and twenty five years 475 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.720 ago he was the ictorian. In fact, if you go 476 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:27.920 to YouTube. You can pot up his speech and take 477 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.119 a look at what he said twenty five years ago, 478 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:32.599 and he came out of Princeton, went to of course 479 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:38.359 grade school in Princeton. Now, Princeton's got terrible problems at SCPs. 480 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.880 About half of our school districts are in terrible condition 481 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:44.200 because of the behavior of the students. The fact that 482 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.079 money doesn't solve the problem of human behavior. When seventy 483 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:51.400 percent of the black boys in Cincinnati are chronically absent, 484 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.599 and those numbers are rising in every racial agenda group, 485 00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.920 we got a problem. And no states better positioned than 486 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:03.119 Ohio to participate in the greatness of the Trumpet administration 487 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.440 moving forward because of our geographical location and the fact 488 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:09.680 that we have everything in this state that represents the 489 00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:12.240 United States of America. In fact, if you want Ohio, 490 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:14.640 you win the nation. We have large cities and small cities, 491 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.519 We have villages and township governments, we have farming communities, 492 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:20.799 we have natural gas and oil. We got it all 493 00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:24.079 right here, and we're doing the best we can, but 494 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.759 a bit we need a new direction. And I give 495 00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:31.079 Mike to Wine lots of credit for landing the Intel situation. 496 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:33.920 And almost as soon as that happened. Intel started having 497 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.720 problems because they weren't as connected to AI as other 498 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.400 companies were. And so there's a couple of billion dollars 499 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:44.079 of infrastructure in the ground, but now it's a five 500 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:46.640 year weight. When I talk to those involved in the project, 501 00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:49.000 they will tell you this is through the Chips Act 502 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:52.200 out of Washington, and DC's helping out a little bit 503 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.559 with the financing, etc. But in order to get a 504 00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:58.799 job in the chip factory in central Ohio, they have 505 00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:03.319 all these DEI prints. It's hard to find Mexican electricians 506 00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.519 in the right numbers. It's hard to find disabled individuals 507 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.559 who want to get on the roof. It's hard to 508 00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.759 find those who are deaf or hard of hearing whatever 509 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.079 to have jobs. So in order to work on the project, 510 00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:17.440 your employees have got to be in certain sexual or 511 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.000 racial categories in order to get the job. So I 512 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.720 know the governor in the state of Ohio went through 513 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.640 a living hell for one or two years to try 514 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.720 to find small businesses that can work on the project, 515 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.160 but did not have the right racial composition of their business, 516 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.759 or the right enough lesbians or enough gay men, or 517 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:40.039 enough those in wheelchairs. Whatever it might be and so 518 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.640 they tried, and they kept delaying it and delaying it 519 00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:46.960 and delaying it because they couldn't let contracts because DEI 520 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:51.720 requirements were not made. Now that's a problem. I don't 521 00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:54.519 care if they're all black, all white, all gay, all straight, 522 00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:56.920 whatever it is, get the job done, get the best 523 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.720 person available, and get it done. And urban pub education, 524 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.480 whether it's Covington or Cincinnati or Dayton or Columbus, they're 525 00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:08.559 terrible schools with lousy results. And the reason isn't money. 526 00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:12.720 In fact, it costs more per student at Taft and 527 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:15.599 Achein than that it does it Mull or Saint X. 528 00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:20.039 But the problem is lack of parental involvement, a lack 529 00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:21.839 of a light at the end of the tunnel to 530 00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:25.759 work toward every day. And I don't know. When you 531 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:30.359 have terrible, lousy parents producing children that are completely dysfunctional 532 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.839 and can't read, it's pretty difficult for government to fund 533 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:36.279 its way out of that crisis. And we're at a crisis. 534 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.200 Those teenagers and those in their twenties or thirties right 535 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:42.799 now are in a terrible crisis in this country. It's 536 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:47.240 not like not been like this before. It's awful, it's 537 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.519 a lack of family formation. It's the idea that I 538 00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:51.480 have nothing to live for. It's a fact that I 539 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:54.160 can't support a family on one income. It's a fact 540 00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.359 that abortion has become a sacrament. It's a fact that 541 00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:02.680 in liberal circles, it's the fact that we multiply divide, 542 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.000 subtract an ad based upon gender or race, when it 543 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:10.680 should be qualifications in merit. Soever, a guy of Indian extract, 544 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.799 if I'm going to use that term of ak Ramaswami, 545 00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:16.559 his parents, who are both highly educated, came here forty 546 00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.039 five years ago. He was born here about thirty nine 547 00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.960 years ago and come out of that Princeton School district 548 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.319 to become the governor. That's pretty good and it makes 549 00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:31.720 a big difference. And his national and international connections can 550 00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:34.480 do for Ohio. What the Trumpster's doing for this country. 551 00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:38.559 I saw on one website, I think it was Breitbart, 552 00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:43.400 the number of large companies that are going to locate 553 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.119 in America over the next two years because of the 554 00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:49.279 tariff situation. That is, they want to come here, and 555 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:51.680 they can't afford to pay twenty five percent extra on 556 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:55.119 product shift into this country. They rather make them here. 557 00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:58.000 So if these billions and billions of dollars are coming 558 00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.359 from Washington for education goes to the Department of Education. 559 00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:02.119 Needs to go away. 560 00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:06.200 By any fair metric, try to describe what the Department 561 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:09.880 of Education does in Washington with hundreds of billions of dollars, 562 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.440 hundreds of thousands of employees pushing paper back and forth. 563 00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:14.160 They don't do it. 564 00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:17.279 Rubbert never hits the road. Take a chunk of that 565 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:20.640 dough and send it to the state capitals. Sendat to Frankfort, 566 00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:24.039 Senator Columbus, send it to Indianapolis, and say, Okay, here's 567 00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:27.160 an extra four billion dollars a year. What will you 568 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:29.039 do with that? Report back to us what you're going 569 00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.440 to do. And I want that money in the hands 570 00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:34.759 of a ag Ramaswami. I got an extra four billion. 571 00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:36.920 How do we make the schools better? I think it 572 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.119 begins with paying teachers more money. Money is a factor 573 00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:43.759 in almost everyone's life, and for a starting teacher to 574 00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:47.279 make forty four thousand dollars a year makes no sense 575 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:50.359 to me at all, zero sense. It ought to be 576 00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:52.799 one hundred thousand dollars a year for a good teacher. 577 00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:54.839 I ought to be one hundred thousand dollars a year 578 00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:57.920 for a good cop or a firefighter, paramedics. People like 579 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:02.200 that should make serious money because they do serious things 580 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:06.880 and this hall can change. And so when the money's 581 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:11.599 returned to the states for public education or for infrastructure projects, 582 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:16.279 I want a businessman like the ak Raamaswami accepting that money, 583 00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.319 having the right kind of cabinet officials hold them accountable 584 00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.279 and bring the principles of DOGE to the state of 585 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.279 Ohio and say, okay, we're wasting. I don't think there's 586 00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.880 much waste in state government. I'm sure there's some, not 587 00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.519 like the Feds. Hell GAO tells me that every year 588 00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:37.759 there's five hundred billion dollars of the federal budget, which 589 00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:40.640 is about the federal budget is about four and a 590 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:44.240 half trillion, so that's about ten percent of the federal 591 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:46.599 budget is waste, fraud, and abuse. They don't know where 592 00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:49.319 the money went. It's gone and no one ever says 593 00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:52.440 what happened to this billions of dollars? Where are they? 594 00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.519 And secondly, the Department of Defense every year has a 595 00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:59.759 budget about nine hundred billion dollars. At least ten to 596 00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:03.559 fifteen percent of that is completely wasted. They can't pass 597 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:08.319 an audit. How do you operate a business like Jeff 598 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:11.440 Beckham a great trucker, How do you operate a business 599 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.559 when you have no idea where the money's going. They 600 00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:15.799 have no idea if they've received the money, there's no 601 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.599 audit going on. How do you conduct a business? That's 602 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.559 the United States government. So when the Trumpster wants to 603 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.119 change things, to say, will we have to have accountable results. 604 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:28.240 We have to know where the money's going. You've got 605 00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:31.160 to get results. What results comes out of the Department 606 00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:35.000 of Education, for God's sakes in Washington, The answer is none. 607 00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:38.799 The longer it's in business the Morris cost with less results. 608 00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:42.119 We have one of the worst public education systems in 609 00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.880 the world, and we spend the most for it. Great 610 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.960 bulk of kids come out of public schools like at 611 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.759 CPS or Covington or Dayton. Danny from Dayton knows about this. 612 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.880 Who can't read and write? There's no such thing as 613 00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:57.680 a failure. If you can't read and write as a 614 00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:01.759 third grader, that's a catastrophe. You might recall that Bush 615 00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:05.440 forty three had a guarantee that every fourth grader can read, 616 00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:07.599 and then nine to eleven happened, and we went on 617 00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.119 some other track trying to save the people of Iraq 618 00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:15.000 in Afghanistan, which was a total debacle. And so I 619 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.319 can't accept the fact that my home area, Ohio, Kentucky, 620 00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.319 Indiana continues the lag behind every other state. Didn't I 621 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.359 know we were bad, but thirty eighth as far as 622 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:28.960 inflow and outflow of population, and I would think Kentucky 623 00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:32.200 and Indiana is in the same category. It's not good. 624 00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:35.440 There's no reason for this. It can change. We don't 625 00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:37.839 have to accept the status quo as being bad. We 626 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:40.680 can look toward the light of a better day. And 627 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:44.440 so I have hopes in Washington now, and of course 628 00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.160 I have hopes in Ohio, and there is no hope 629 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.000 in Kentucky with Governor Bashir. That's why I want Rob 630 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:54.880 Sanders at Kenton County to run for governor and or 631 00:29:55.039 --> 00:30:00.279 senator and bring dose principles, hold government agencies accountable. You 632 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.720 got to show up to work. I work with giants 633 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.559 and broadcasting. We show up to work. Dave Keaton is 634 00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.799 here every day, Tony Bender's here every day. DJ Hodges 635 00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:12.160 here every day. Joe Frederick is here every day. Jack 636 00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.680 Crumbley's here every day. We have to get to work 637 00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:19.559 and just make sure we live. We leave to the 638 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.880 next generation a better nation given to us, and I'm 639 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:25.960 not I'm not sure that's the case. Fact, I'm sure 640 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:29.000 it isn't the case. So we need new leadership and 641 00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:31.400 we need to move forward. A let's continue with more. 642 00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:35.359 Coming up Plater will be moe Eger. Coming up later 643 00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:38.319 will be Wayne outen Root about columns he's written about 644 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:40.839 what's happening in Washington with tariffs and with the judges. 645 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:43.960 You know, I sleep with a judge every night. She's 646 00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:47.839 my wife. And the judicial insurrection is worse than I 647 00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:51.079 think it is. That judges somehow have given them the 648 00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:56.000 self the power to control foreign aid, foreign relations, diplomacy, 649 00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:59.759 military matters. There's some ridiculous number. I think it's a 650 00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.559 well over two hundred lawsuits have been filed, and there's 651 00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:06.359 been fifty to sixty injunctions issued by liberal federal judges, 652 00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:09.160 which should have not the weight to stop an entire 653 00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:13.920 government because of their opinions. We should have US Supreme 654 00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:16.359 Court and even that or many legal scholars who will 655 00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:20.279 tell you that the Constitution doesn't provide for judicial review. 656 00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:24.440 And beginning at eighteen oh three, Chief Justice Marshall gave 657 00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:27.920 it to the courts to determine these issues. It's been 658 00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:31.559 two hundred and twenty two years since that ruling. But 659 00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:35.960 we can't have local district courts stopping the entire diplomacy 660 00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:38.799 and the military of the United States of America. When 661 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:41.680 one could go down the hallway to a different district 662 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.519 court and the same building and get a different ruling 663 00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.279 of a different injunction, that's chaos. And the person telling 664 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.759 you that is not the great American it's Justice Elena Kagan, 665 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:57.000 the liberal Democratic appointed US Supreme Court justice from Harvard. 666 00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:59.799 She said a few years ago, we've got to stop 667 00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:04.640 the idea that local district court judges can issue nationwide injunctions. 668 00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:09.160 That's not their jurisdiction. And Ohio, the Southern District is 669 00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:13.480 the last bottom half of Ohio. That's it. And we've 670 00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:17.279 gotten into this practice or policy. One of eight hundred 671 00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:21.079 district court judges coming up with their own thoughts about diplomacy, 672 00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:25.599 about terrorism, about the military, and about four and aid. 673 00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:30.559 They want their own policies. This is ridiculous. Let's continue 674 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:33.599 with more the line becomes available, which it never does 675 00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:36.640 five and three, seven four, nine, seven thousand, Bill cunning 676 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:41.079 In The Great American Reds. Baseball kicks off on Thursday, 677 00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:43.960 and we'll see what happens with the Reds. They're picked 678 00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:46.599 to finish second or third. We have a great jockey, 679 00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:50.839 now we need a good thoroughbred. And Francona is a 680 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.599 pretty good jockey, but he needs a big horse beneath him. 681 00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:56.440 And there's a sense if Stevenson comes back and Steers 682 00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:58.359 come back, maybe this is going to be a better 683 00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:00.839 year than past. And I think most pundits have the 684 00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:03.160 Reds winning eighty two to eighty three games this year. 685 00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.200 By the way, the over unders about seventy nine and 686 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.880 a half. We'll see what happens. Toll fifty four Home 687 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:20.079 your Reds. Here's Radio seven hundred WLW. The Cunningham The 688 00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.839 Great American of course, way Linen Route is in Las 689 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:25.480 Vegas and the Walk of Fame. Root for America dot 690 00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.799 Com is the website, the TV show, the commentaries and 691 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:31.559 so much more, and it was the site in Las Vegas. 692 00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:34.680 I think maybe Bernie Sanders and AOC and others picked 693 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:37.160 Las Vegas because of Wayne Allen Root a couple of 694 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.880 days ago. Wayne Allen Root, Welcome again to the Bill 695 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.119 Cunningham Show. And first of all, before we talk about 696 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.559 your stuff about Chief Justice Robertson Moore and also about 697 00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:48.359 federal judges on the payroll of China, et cetera. Well 698 00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:50.400 you did you take offense at what happened in Las 699 00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:51.599 Vegas a few days ago? 700 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.200 Well? Yeah, I mean, Vegas has never been a really 701 00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:57.880 political town. It really hasn't. I mean, thank god, we 702 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.759 just won Nevada for prison Trump for the first time. 703 00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:03.799 But it is not an overtally political town. And when 704 00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:06.000 I say that, what I mean is there's never been 705 00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.960 the you know, the swat raids by the FBI, they 706 00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:12.000 never came after people like me that. They never had 707 00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.440 the BLM riots that other cities had. We had a 708 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.480 couple of little tiny protests with like fifty people marching 709 00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:20.119 down the strip. Nobody tried to set fire to a casino. 710 00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:23.280 They knew they they get met with crowbars and baseball backs. 711 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.639 So they don't do things like that in Las Vegas. 712 00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:28.559 So we really haven't had a lot of political unrested, 713 00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.480 no antifond, no BLM here. It's pretty safe place to 714 00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:35.239 be a political, a politico as I am. I've never 715 00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:36.960 had one person in my whole life. Ever come up 716 00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.079 to me in Las Vegas and say anything other than, 717 00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:40.519 oh my god, way rude, I love you. 718 00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:41.000 That's it. 719 00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:43.599 Not one person that's ever said I hate you, I 720 00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:46.880 can't stand you. You're you're a you know this that 721 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:50.280 a fascist? You know I Hitler with Trump. Never has 722 00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:52.559 anyone ever said a negative word to me in Las Vegas. 723 00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.760 So it was really surprising that we had this Tesla 724 00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.599 attack of a service center here and they tried to 725 00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:01.000 set you know that tried. They did set fire with 726 00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:04.440 Molotov cocktails, and they shot bullets into tesselas. It's the 727 00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.719 first time. And I'll tell you what I think it's 728 00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:08.599 a sign of It really hasn't have to do with 729 00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:11.280 Vegas as much as it's just everywhere. Now. I think 730 00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:13.960 we're headed for a real summer of burning. I really 731 00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:16.639 do think Democrats have lost their minds. They know that 732 00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:18.800 they can never win another election if we take away 733 00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:22.039 their money, and their money is from government in other words, 734 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:25.280 USAID and the CIA is less Fund and all these 735 00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:28.480 other govit aincies they're all hiring, all the Democrats and 736 00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:31.280 all the liberals, and all the commedies. They give them jobs, 737 00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:34.880 they give them government contracts, they give them green energy deals, 738 00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.199 they give them overseas money, and then they loot it, 739 00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.360 steal it, launder it, send it back to the United 740 00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:41.800 States to be used for all these vicious groups like 741 00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:45.559 antiphon BLM. We just found out today Obama was literally 742 00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:49.760 stealing money at USAD. USAID was supposed to go foreign 743 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.559 countries and instead it was being used to train antiphon 744 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:56.320 BLM activists to cause violet riots in the United States. 745 00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.320 I'm telling you Bill, their money is being cut off 746 00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:01.559 by Donald Trump. And then you looked at Act Blue, 747 00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:05.119 that's their biggest fundraiser for every Democrat candidate. He's killing 748 00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:07.679 Act Blue. All of them are resigning because they know 749 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:11.239 they committed money laundering and fraud. Because I've always argued 750 00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:16.079 Act Blue is all foreign donations, illegal foreign donations from 751 00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:19.960 China and the Mexican drug cartel. That's what's stealing our elections. 752 00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.280 So if Trump can cut them off of the knees, 753 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:26.400 they've got no money anymore. So they're getting increasingly hysterical, panicked, 754 00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:29.599 and desperate, and it's turning to violence. And right now 755 00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:32.239 it's all aimed at Elon Muskin Tesla. But I think 756 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:34.239 this summer as soon as he gets hot out in 757 00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:36.920 people's tempers flair. I believe you're gonna see a summer 758 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.480 of you know BLM type riots, except this will be 759 00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:41.639 much worse because they got all the illegals who don't 760 00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:43.440 want to be deported, and all the people that have 761 00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:47.159 lost their jobs, you know, their lazy, non essential jobs 762 00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:51.360 in government. All these people are being mobilized and weaponized 763 00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:55.320 to go against us. So expect a very dangerous summer. 764 00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:56.519 That's what my gut says. 765 00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:59.760 In fact, I you know this is you know this march. 766 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:03.239 Let's face it, we got some ugly times ahead. The 767 00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.320 federal judiciary has taken on roles no one ever thought. 768 00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:09.000 I didn't think a federal judge like Bolsburg would have 769 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:11.719 some sort of foreign policy. You take the federal judges, 770 00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.400 take the mainstream media, to take the college campuses, Your 771 00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:17.159 alma mater, Columbia is completely lost its way. It's going 772 00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:20.840 to spread thither and fro. What Israel's doing and Gaza 773 00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:22.880 right now to Moss must be done because they have 774 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.679 to win the war. You can't allow a Moss to 775 00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:29.159 exist after what they've done. In fact, most of the 776 00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:32.079 instrumentality of America is one hundred percent in favor of 777 00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:34.440 a Moss, one hundred percent in favor of the Democrats. 778 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:36.800 And I watched George Clooney, who by the way, is 779 00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:39.880 from Cincinnati, course, and he's got this big Broadway show 780 00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:42.679 going on in which he plays Edward R. Murrow going 781 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:46.320 after McCarthy, and he's going to use that as a 782 00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:50.360 platform to go after Trump because of anti democratic principles. 783 00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:52.679 And he's the guy in July that wrote the story 784 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.119 that says Biden's got to get out of office when 785 00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:58.599 he was democratically selected by the Democrats during the primary season. 786 00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.920 So the Democrats don't like democracy. When Republicans win. When 787 00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:07.559 democrats win, that's democracy. When Republicans win, that's ani democratic. 788 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:10.039 Give it to the agencies, give it to the federal 789 00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:14.119 judges to make decisions. That thing can't stand no. 790 00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:16.760 And I listen if you watch my TV show, and 791 00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:18.079 by the way, you can find all my TV and 792 00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:20.599 radio shows and everything I do it Roots for America 793 00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:23.920 dot Com. That's my command center and center and everything 794 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:27.119 is there Root for America dot Com. But I see 795 00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:29.960 all the time that we've got it. Number one, Trump 796 00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.000 has got to get tough and he's got to arrest people. 797 00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:34.079 This has to be Trump two point zho. The same 798 00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:36.880 way that you know his victory was Trump two point zero, 799 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:39.320 it's also got to be his mindset two point zero. 800 00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:41.639 And I'm telling you, my gut says, we do not 801 00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:44.840 win this battle and save America and make America great 802 00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:48.280 again and make America prosperous again unless you start arresting 803 00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:50.840 the bad guys for treason. You know, like when you 804 00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:53.519 find out that Obama has stolen money and redirected foreign 805 00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:57.280 money to train radicals in the United States anti fab 806 00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.880 BLM to burn things down, then you go around Obama. 807 00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:04.679 When you do a forensic audit of Judge Boseburg, you 808 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:07.119 will find that he's on the take, in my opinion, 809 00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.440 from China or the CCP or the Mexican drug cartel. 810 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.760 These judges are dirty. You could see it, you could 811 00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:16.360 smell it, you can feel it in your gut. Nobody 812 00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:18.519 would be this desperate to say, let's turn around a 813 00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:22.000 plane filled with miscreants who have tattoos from the top 814 00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:24.159 of their body to the bottom of their toes, who 815 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:27.880 kill people with shanks in prison. Nobody would send turn 816 00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:30.239 around a plane and send them home. Because we love 817 00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:33.320 them so much. Something's mentally wrong with these people. My 818 00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:37.039 opinion is a mixture of liberalism is a mental illness. 819 00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:40.400 So it's a mixture of insanity mental illness, and they're 820 00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:43.559 on the take. They're getting paid for the open border. 821 00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:47.159 So you gotta start arresting people. You gotta do forensic audits, 822 00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:50.079 you gotta get tough. And then my real idea, which 823 00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:54.159 I ended my America's Top Ten show yesterday morning. My 824 00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:56.159 number one story of the week was my idea which 825 00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:59.000 I texted to President Trump. I texted them on Thursday 826 00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:01.480 night and I said, listen, here's my opinion. I think 827 00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:04.880 you win with the judges by declaring war but not 828 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.880 declaring war on the judges, declare a border war. This 829 00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:12.800 is no different than Ukraine. All the Democrats love Ukraine 830 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:15.840 so much. We've been invaded by a foreign enemy out 831 00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:18.719 to destroy our country. So instead of just saying, okay, 832 00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:22.079 the Mexican drug gangs are you know, officially now they're 833 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.119 designated as terrorists. All that's fine, but you didn't say 834 00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:28.639 you're going to war. Declare war. You got a Republican House, 835 00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:31.159 you got a Republican Senate. You better be able to 836 00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:34.880 get them hurted and be able to convince them to 837 00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.960 go along and back you, and declare the Great American 838 00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:40.800 Border War. That's what I call it, the Great American 839 00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:45.039 Border War. Declare a national security emergency and declare war. 840 00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.840 A war to secure the border, A war versus the 841 00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:51.360 cartels that you've named as terrorist organizations, a war versus 842 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:55.920 Shinese fedinel producers, a war versus trans national gangs like 843 00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:59.360 MS thirteen and Trendy Aragua. You know, a war to 844 00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:02.320 get the we go Fart invaders out of our country. 845 00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:05.320 The mass importation is a war, and it's also a 846 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:08.519 warlike humanitarian crisis in America. We're all going to starve 847 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:11.519 because they're eating up all our money. Declara war versus 848 00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:15.599 drug and human trafficking, and declare war versus pedophiles. This 849 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:18.760 is a dozen wars at once, so it's all under 850 00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:22.519 the umbrella of the Great American Border War. What's my point? 851 00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:26.800 Once you get Congress to agree and approve that this 852 00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:30.440 is now officially a war, Now you're commander in chief 853 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:34.039 making war decisions. And no judge can ever and ever 854 00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:37.480 has been involved ever in the history of America in 855 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:41.400 the second guessing or overruling a commander in chief or 856 00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:44.239 his generals in a time of war. This is the 857 00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:47.599 way to get around the judges without arresting them. Until 858 00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:50.239 you do your forensic audits and prove that they're on 859 00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:53.880 the take. Just ignore them because they won't matter anymore 860 00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:56.519 because we're at war and you're the commander in chief 861 00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:58.880 making war decisions. That's my good instinct. 862 00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:01.320 We got to talk about or in Canada, etc. But 863 00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:04.519 the judge in New York City's daughter made tens of 864 00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.840 millions of dollars raising money for democratic causes. And the 865 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:12.280 daughter of this judge Bosburg is making serious money immigration 866 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.360 rights groups. And his wife is the president of Planned Parenthood, 867 00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:18.519 some organization making one hundred and some thousand dollars. They're 868 00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:21.639 all political activists on the left. And you would hope, 869 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:25.199 you would hope that Justice John Roberts would be a 870 00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:28.159 conservative judge. That's turned out to be that way at all. 871 00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:31.679 I have little faith and Judge John Roberts to do 872 00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:34.559 what's right. I think the four votes they had, one 873 00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:35.920 of them, I think it was a leaders that I 874 00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:39.440 can't believe what we're saying today about requiring the president 875 00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:43.119 to pay billions of dollars to usaid workers or to 876 00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:49.280 USA organizations when it's waste, fraud, and abuse. That's the purpose. 877 00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:51.000 I want to talk to you about tariffs, but you've 878 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:54.440 got a great column up under March the thirteenth. Here's 879 00:42:54.440 --> 00:42:57.800 why Trump's tariffs will succeed. America will win my friends 880 00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:00.800 in Canada by golfing buddies in Canada. That's not the 881 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:03.639 case that Canada is going to bring America to heel 882 00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:06.519 because of the teriffs. What is Dwayne alerout say. 883 00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:09.719 I think that Canada is like a little pit squeak, 884 00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:11.679 like a little chihuahua, and it's facing off with a 885 00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:15.039 German shepherd, and Canada actually delusional. They have no clue, 886 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:16.920 you know, just like I used to have. By the way, 887 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:18.760 I used to have a chihuahua and a German shepherd, 888 00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:21.480 and the chihuahua thought he was tougher than the German shepherd, 889 00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:24.760 and for nine long years he bought the German shepherd around. 890 00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:26.840 When the chihuahua jumped on the bed, I swear to 891 00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:28.920 that the German shepherd sell off the bed he was 892 00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:32.480 so scared. But in year number ten, the chihuahua suddenly 893 00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:35.320 decided to eat food out of the German shepherd's bowl, 894 00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:38.679 and the German shepherd grabbed him and threw him across 895 00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:40.719 the room and threw him against the wall. And the 896 00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:42.920 poor chihuahua, who I love to by the way, I 897 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:45.559 didn't like this, but it happened. The German shepherd pound 898 00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:48.079 him against the wall, and the chihuahua brain damage and 899 00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:49.719 he was never the same again the rest of his life. 900 00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:51.960 He walked like a drunk and he lived another two 901 00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:54.559 years like a brain dead person. So I'm telling you 902 00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:57.400 Canada thinks they're the chihuahua and they're gonna beat up 903 00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.079 the German shepherd. And they don't understand. We got three 904 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:02.760 forty million people, you know, and if account illegals, we 905 00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:05.360 probably get three hundred and fifty three or sixty million people. 906 00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:08.400 And they've got their little pitsqueak country with like thirty 907 00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:11.000 nine million people. They're not gonna beat us in the 908 00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:14.480 trade war. If we buy everything they've got, we buy 909 00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:18.119 everything China's got, We buy everything Mexico's got. So we 910 00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:21.239 are the customer. As my grandfather always said, the customer 911 00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:23.599 is always right, and if the customer is wrong, refer 912 00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:27.280 back to World number one. The customer always wins. We 913 00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:31.159 are the world's biggest customer. Our middle class buys everything 914 00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:34.960 in the world from everyone. They cannot hold out against us. 915 00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:38.880 Trump knows it. Trump understands what you and me understand. Bill. 916 00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:41.440 They're not gonna win. The world can huff and puff 917 00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:44.480 and threaten to blow our house down, and it's all 918 00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:48.039 just delusion. In the end, we will win. Whether it's 919 00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:50.119 a week fan now, a month and now at day 920 00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:52.119 fin now, or a year fan now, we will win. 921 00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.440 When they realize they're going to start to death. Trump 922 00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:56.079 is right, and we will win the trade wars. 923 00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:58.800 Well, I think that's what the left wants. In other words, 924 00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:01.400 the left's opinion of America is at the bottom of 925 00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:04.079 the Portal Act. They do not like this country. They 926 00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:06.639 don't like that they think it was land stolen from 927 00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:09.360 the Indians. In fact, Columbia University we went to school 928 00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:11.960 is on Indigenous lands. I thought we paid for that. 929 00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:15.000 But nonetheless, the left does not want America to win. 930 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:18.920 And so if America loses, the left feels good. If America, 931 00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:23.039 if America wins, the left feels bad. And so I 932 00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:25.400 don't know, but we have a federal judge. Now it's 933 00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:29.119 going to take over American foreign policy and tariffs named 934 00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:31.880 Boseburg and maybe John Roberts with him. But the fact 935 00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:34.400 that you have a list here of the eight here 936 00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:37.199 are the only possibilities that come out of these trade tariffs. 937 00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:39.840 One stopped buying from China and the rest of the world. 938 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:43.679 Their economies collapses. China, the restorant, eventually gives in. They survive, 939 00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:47.039 but we win. Why doesn't the Chinese? The Chinese and 940 00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:50.559 the Canadians and the Mexicans now understand that, in fact, 941 00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:53.559 what's happening now. A lot of the detention camps and 942 00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:56.679 Texas are closing, they don't have enough business. Illegals are 943 00:45:56.719 --> 00:45:59.400 quit coming in because Trump succeeded. But the media doesn't 944 00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:01.800 cover it, and so explain how this pay. Let's say 945 00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:04.639 you and I get back together before a year goes by, 946 00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:06.800 hopefully it's once a month or more about a year 947 00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:09.440 from now, what would the tariffur look like if we 948 00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:09.800 stay with. 949 00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:13.239 Look, you know, in my opinion, this gives us a 950 00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:17.400 chance to reduce our national deficit and our national probably 951 00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:20.119 get rid of our national deficits, and dramatically reduce our 952 00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:22.199 national debt. It gives us a chance to give the 953 00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.440 American people a gigantic tax cut. It gives Trump a chance, 954 00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:28.320 if he so chooses, if there's enough money in the tariffs, 955 00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:30.320 it gives them a chance to actually get rid of 956 00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:33.159 the income taxes, which he's talked about. I've talked about 957 00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:35.400 it for years. I've recommended it to him. The state 958 00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:38.119 of Nevada is growing like crazy. You know, every minute, 959 00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:41.440 half of California's moving here. And we have zero income taxes. 960 00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:44.159 That's why everyone's moving here. Texas has zero income taxes. 961 00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:47.480 Florida has zero income taxes. Tennessee, Nashville's one of the 962 00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:50.360 hottest cities in America. They have zero income taxes. People 963 00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:54.280 move to places with lower or zero taxes, And I'd 964 00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:56.920 like to see America set up a system like Texas, 965 00:46:56.960 --> 00:46:59.800 Florida and Nevada and Tennessee and have zero income tax 966 00:46:59.880 --> 00:47:02.880 and you only pay a sales tax plus tariffs from 967 00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:05.960 other countries. So this gives the middle class a chance 968 00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:09.880 to change their lives dramatically and change the American economy 969 00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:12.840 and make us prosperous again. I think a year for now, 970 00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:16.280 every stock that everyone's panicking about will be at all 971 00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:18.280 time highs. I think the market will be at all 972 00:47:18.280 --> 00:47:20.400 time high. Think TESTA will be at all time high. 973 00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:22.239 I think all the big tech stocks will be at 974 00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:24.480 all time high. I think gold will still be at 975 00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:27.920 all time high. I think that crypto and bitcoy will 976 00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:30.000 be at all time high. And I think that we've 977 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:33.599 got a chance here to make America prosperous again because 978 00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:35.960 of tariffs, which will pay off a lot of the debt, 979 00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:37.559 a lot of the deficit, if not all of it, 980 00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:39.960 and maybe a lot of our taxes too. Are all 981 00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:42.840 of them, so I love the tariffs. It's just going 982 00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:45.480 to be a little short term pain to achieve long 983 00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:48.519 term fantastic gain. No pain, no gain, you know. 984 00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:51.239 One of the cries of the radical leftists a threat 985 00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:56.119 to democracy. Trump received a strong mandate from the American 986 00:47:56.239 --> 00:48:00.639 voters in a democracy that resolved to rest control of 987 00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:03.920 the government from the deep state. The deep state, in turn, 988 00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:06.360 what they've done is to fall back on this last 989 00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:10.199 line of defense, which is the courts. Every federal employee 990 00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:12.880 in the executive branch of government works for the president. 991 00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:16.199 I can't imagine Trump telling the judges who to hire 992 00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:19.159 and who to fire their employees. I can't imagine that 993 00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:22.239 Trump telling congressional leaders who in their staff they got 994 00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:27.000 to fire and hire. But Article two clearly states that 995 00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:30.559 the president is the chief executive officer of the country 996 00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:34.199 and that's it. And so they fall back on the bureaucracy, 997 00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:37.079 the deep state, which is forever. And secondly, if that fails, 998 00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:39.159 to go to the court system and they win there. 999 00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:41.840 But way, we got a minute remaining. I can't believe 1000 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:45.079 our time flies by quickly. But to all your stuff 1001 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.960 is at root for America dot com. We've not touched 1002 00:48:48.039 --> 00:48:52.079 yet Chief Justice John Roberts, We've not touched what's happening 1003 00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.079 with the judicial system. But way on a route we 1004 00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:57.199 got to go and next time, wait on the route 1005 00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:02.400 introduces Senator Ernie Sanders. That's when hell's going to freeze over. 1006 00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:06.440 I hope to be introducing President Trump. By the way, 1007 00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:08.960 and April eleventh in Palm Beach is the Lincoln Day 1008 00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:10.519 gall with the biggest one in the country, and I'm 1009 00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:13.280 the MC. They're flying me down as the Master's ceremonies 1010 00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:15.440 and I'm hoping to be introducing President Trump at all 1011 00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:18.840 the top celebrities in the Trump administration. So it's going 1012 00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:21.320 to be a great night. Friday, April eleventh in Palm Beach, 1013 00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:24.000 and I look forward to it. Hey, Bill, it's Rootfroamerica 1014 00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:26.440 dot Com.

Thank you. 1019 00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:37.440 Wayne Allen rooton in Las Vegas. And it's kind of 1020 00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:40.559 odd that end of democracy. We elect our leaders, the House, 1021 00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:44.119 the Senate, the president, and that's undemocratic. When we elect 1022 00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:48.719 leaders they disagree with, that's undemocratic. And all Trump's trying 1023 00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:51.480 to do is to return power back to the people 1024 00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:54.000 who put leaders in charge and not the deep state. 1025 00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:57.960 Bill Cunningham, Live on News Radio seven hundred WL me, 1026 00:49:58.199 --> 00:49:58.639 you don't have. 1027 00:49:58.559 --> 00:49:59.199 To worry about that. 1028 00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:01.119 I'm not going to pull Cunningham and you know, take 1029 00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:02.519 off off and go national radio. 1030 00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:02.800 Here. 1031 00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:04.599 I'm gonna stay right here at Xavier. 1032 00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:17.320 Hello, quiet, and I'm Scots.

Can you give me some approximate 1056 00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:37.159 within one thousand dollars either way, how much these three 1057 00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.119 players are making to win the National titler to Miami Hamilton. 1058 00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:41.840 We'll probably get him lunchure on the way back to 1059 00:51:41.880 --> 00:51:44.599 Hamilton and gets it is is he's man. Yeah, yeah, 1060 00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:46.920 that'll work out pretty good for him. But thanks for 1061 00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:48.840 having us, you know, a long time listener and glad 1062 00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:51.599 to be here. And we are very fortunate, you know. 1063 00:51:51.639 --> 00:51:54.480 We I've been in Miami for five years and the 1064 00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:56.760 first we lost to COVID, But the last four years 1065 00:51:56.760 --> 00:51:59.639 we made four consecutive trips of the National Tournament. Great 1066 00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:02.079 this year we're able to come home the National Championship 1067 00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:02.719 trophy and. 1068 00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:04.280 It's right there right here. 1069 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:05.000 Thanks plainly. 1070 00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:07.239 What happened in the last game, you had a player up 1071 00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:10.280 against the wall. It was he was beating blooded, he 1072 00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:13.480 was bruised and needed two acls. His shoulders were hurting him, 1073 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:15.960 he was in deep trouble. Set the scene for the 1074 00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:17.519 last few seconds of the big game. 1075 00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:19.480 Well, first of all, we got down eleven in the 1076 00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:21.480 first half, and we cut the one at half and 1077 00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:23.239 we thought we were in pretty big shape. And then 1078 00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:26.199 we'd started the second half pretty horrible and got down 1079 00:52:26.239 --> 00:52:29.400 eleven again, chipped away, chipped away, took the league with 1080 00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:32.480 three minutes to go. Oh, and Shade Old, who's in 1081 00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:34.400 the studio with us, now, introduced our guys. In the 1082 00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:36.960 second Calmon went up there and sank two free throw 1083 00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:37.840 to put us up three. 1084 00:52:38.119 --> 00:52:38.800 Nothing was ned. 1085 00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:40.920 Was sixteen seconds to go and we hung on to 1086 00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:42.199 win the national championship. 1087 00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:44.000 And then it was these three great players. Now we're 1088 00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:46.119 going to talk about the crucial moment that was the 1089 00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:48.159 difference between defeat and victory. 1090 00:52:48.280 --> 00:52:48.440 Yeah. 1091 00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:51.000 So in studio we have our senior Michael Keahan, who 1092 00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:54.280 played for Joe Schoenfeld at Elder High School. Elder Michael's 1093 00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:56.800 a four year starter, played one hundred and seventeen games 1094 00:52:56.840 --> 00:52:58.840 for US and ended up being a second team All 1095 00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:01.039 American this year. So what a great quer he had 1096 00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:02.719 for US, and we're really going to miss four years. 1097 00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:04.760 Get up to the microphone there. Would you rather play 1098 00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:06.039 for Elder or Miami? 1099 00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:09.920 Oh, that's a tough question. Honestly, I won a national 1100 00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:12.880 championship with Miami, so I can't say that I would 1101 00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:14.440 rather play for Elder. But I had a great four 1102 00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:16.159 year which it was a pretty good coach one. Yeah, 1103 00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:16.559 he's the best. 1104 00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:18.880 He's a savior man. You know that, yes, sir, Now, 1105 00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:20.519 and introduce you to the other two gentlemen. 1106 00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:23.320 To my right, I have Corey Davis from Mason High School. 1107 00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:25.480 Cory's a junior and he was first team All American 1108 00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:27.840 for US and he was the MVP of the national tournament. 1109 00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:29.199 All right, come on up there now. You told me 1110 00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:31.199 off the air, do you listen to talk Rady? You 1111 00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:34.159 said no, but you said your great great great grandfather 1112 00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:35.840 does Is that correct? I don't know if it's that 1113 00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:39.719 many greats, but yeah, my grandfather what's his name, Mike Rice? 1114 00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:43.119 Mike Rice is listening now? Perhaps, Ah, So did he 1115 00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:46.079 teach you anything about life? About basketball, about girls? What 1116 00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:48.400 did he teach you? Tell me a lot about life, 1117 00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:49.400 a lot about fishing. 1118 00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:51.360 So I like fishing. I like fishing. 1119 00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:53.840 Now talk about this is the player that hit the 1120 00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:55.280 Introduce this player. 1121 00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:58.440 Yes, Shaden Olden is a junior from Troy High School 1122 00:53:58.440 --> 00:54:00.960 and hit the two freezer. Really had a good year 1123 00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:03.039 for us, averaged all three these guys are each double 1124 00:54:03.079 --> 00:54:05.519 figures for US. And uh, you know the one thing 1125 00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:07.400 I liked about our guys. We said all year long. 1126 00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:10.119 Don't get too high, don't get too low, even keel, 1127 00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:13.159 and we kept plugging away, plugging away, and uh I 1128 00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:15.400 had too good instructions for Shane when he got foult, 1129 00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:16.480 I said to make them. 1130 00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:21.800 So I thought that was good, said make them leave 1131 00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:25.079 it alone, explaining to Shane what happened, explaining set the scene, 1132 00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:27.920 the pressure, the drama of the excitement. 1133 00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:30.559 UH all thought to you, we kind of played a 1134 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:33.000 thing called beat the pro does. Everybody have to make 1135 00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:34.519 a free throw? We got to get to twenty one 1136 00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:40.199 before the pro does. Who's the pro coach? Imaginary shooting? Well, 1137 00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:42.199 every free throw you make, you get a point. The 1138 00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:44.840 maginary U punt. The pro gets two points on a miss. 1139 00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:46.639 And so we do us at the end of practice 1140 00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:49.599 all the time. And I might be a practice next year. 1141 00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:51.719 I might be up next year teaching these guys how. 1142 00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:52.760 To make throws. 1143 00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:56.239 We'd love it. Explain it further. Who what team you're playing? 1144 00:54:56.400 --> 00:54:58.679 Penn State? You're playing State in the championship. 1145 00:54:58.679 --> 00:55:01.559 And we actually had a shuit around before we're down 1146 00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:04.320 to the pro twenty to nine. I actually came back, 1147 00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:06.000 so whole time we were just saying beat the Pro 1148 00:55:06.159 --> 00:55:09.519 down eleven, beat the pro, beat the pro, just face adversity, 1149 00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:10.119 and they got to. 1150 00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:12.400 It, and you something, did hit the medal at all 1151 00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:16.400 when they're all chords. They stroked them hit the net 1152 00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:19.239 and then they had to play defense thirteen more seconds 1153 00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:19.519 or so. 1154 00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:22.719 Yes, so we actually found with three seconds. I believe 1155 00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:26.840 that three. That's a good move. Coach, yep, don't let 1156 00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:29.519 them hit a three. Yeah, take your risk and them 1157 00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:31.239 hitting two and see what happened. 1158 00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:33.239 And they hit a two at the buzzer and we 1159 00:55:33.320 --> 00:55:35.880 win fifty three fifty two. So they thought their shot 1160 00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:38.440 was a three, but the guy's foot was inside the line, 1161 00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:41.280 which it was. And uh so they were happy for 1162 00:55:41.320 --> 00:55:43.280 a split second. And as I said, we were happy 1163 00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:46.079 for a very long time. So, you know, nice to 1164 00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:46.760 bring home the national. 1165 00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:50.159 Can you say about this save your opening? Maybe anything 1166 00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:52.800 you can say about you having the planet coming to 1167 00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:54.559 pick you up to. 1168 00:55:54.199 --> 00:55:55.679 Get you down a victory parkway. 1169 00:55:55.719 --> 00:55:57.400 I don't know if they want a fifty eight year old. 1170 00:55:57.400 --> 00:55:59.239 I'm pretty old and I'm pretty happy where I am, 1171 00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:01.239 and Miami versus been really good to me. 1172 00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:03.719 But you could be if he doubled page eight million 1173 00:56:03.760 --> 00:56:05.960 dollars a year, would you go I probably work it 1174 00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:08.599 out for that, no doubt about it. You know, Sean 1175 00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:11.880 Miller work is under a lot of hatred right now 1176 00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:15.599 from Xavier for and not keeping his word in a sense, 1177 00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:17.760 what do you say as a coach in college? What 1178 00:56:17.800 --> 00:56:20.800 about colleague coaches doubling their money, giving all the nil 1179 00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:23.360 money in the world, plus use of private jets. He 1180 00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:26.480 could not turn it down. And Sean Miller consider a friend. 1181 00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:28.199 They could walk their practice quite a bit when he's 1182 00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:29.840 in sacred as which I'm very very good to me, 1183 00:56:29.960 --> 00:56:31.400 and leave me tickets for games. 1184 00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:31.960 I'm known in front. 1185 00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:32.960 So you can look these. 1186 00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:34.760 Three kids in the eye and say, look, I'm leaving. 1187 00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:37.800 I'm getting paid eight million dollars private jets and eight 1188 00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:40.800 billion and no money. You could tell these kids I'm leaving. 1189 00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:42.000 I think they would understand that. 1190 00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:44.519 Would you understand? Would you understand? 1191 00:56:44.719 --> 00:56:46.079 Would you need to be coming with him? 1192 00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:47.960 You might go with him, get some no money for 1193 00:56:48.039 --> 00:56:51.639 these boys, give me some sports and make it fast. 1194 00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:54.880 Well you look course at at here said there's a 1195 00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:58.519 mutual interest obviously with Chris Mack and coming back with Xavier. 1196 00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:00.960 You like Chris Mack, coach love Chris Mack.

But at the end of the day, you 1341 01:03:23.639 --> 01:03:24.280 are the champions. 1342 01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:25.800 He and Freddy. 1343 01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:43.360 The Harriers dominate mine. Let's thank you. Let's continue with 1344 01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:46.639 more Mo Haggers next plus Ask two thirty five. We 1345 01:03:46.719 --> 01:03:50.280 have state champions supreme, including the state female wrestling champ. 1346 01:03:50.719 --> 01:04:14.840 No News Radio seven w are Billy cunning him the 1347 01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:17.400 Great America? Of course in sports, lot's going on Red's 1348 01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:20.000 opening day, maybe the biggest of all time. It's gonna 1349 01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:23.159 be on Thursday, and then Bengals at the draft coming up. 1350 01:04:23.199 --> 01:04:25.480 There's some video of our new wide receivers with their 1351 01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:29.440 Lamborghinis flying around Miami Beach. That's another issue. Of course, 1352 01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:31.480 we have the tournament still going on and so much more. 1353 01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:34.159 But Moeger, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And 1354 01:04:34.199 --> 01:04:38.239 first of them, let's break it down. We have Red 1355 01:04:38.599 --> 01:04:43.360 number one Bengals number two, Bearcat football number three, Bearcat 1356 01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:47.480 basketball number four, Xavier basketball number five, and deer Park 1357 01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:51.000 Volleyball number six. Which of those six are in deep trouble? 1358 01:04:51.159 --> 01:04:53.760 Everywhere I look, I see opportunities, but I have hope 1359 01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:55.519 for the Reds. Give me a full report. 1360 01:04:57.760 --> 01:05:00.079 Well, I can't speak to deer Park. You're more of 1361 01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:02.320 an expert on that than I am. I don't think 1362 01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:04.639 the Bengals are in I don't think the Bengals are 1363 01:05:04.639 --> 01:05:07.360 in deep trouble, but they have a very important draft 1364 01:05:07.519 --> 01:05:10.960 looming and a recent track record of not drafting very well, 1365 01:05:11.079 --> 01:05:14.039 specifically on the defensive side of the ball. I think 1366 01:05:14.079 --> 01:05:16.239 the Reds have a lot of promise. I think they 1367 01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:19.800 should have very good starting pitching. I think we're all 1368 01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.199 concerned whether about whether or not this team is going 1369 01:05:22.280 --> 01:05:26.199 to hit, and starting the season without Tyler Stevenson and 1370 01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:31.920 Spencer Steer adds to those concerns. You see, basketball is 1371 01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:35.519 facing a crossroads season in twenty twenty five and twenty 1372 01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:39.440 twenty six for Wes Miller. The Bearcats football team is 1373 01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:42.679 facing a huge season for Scott Sadderfield in the Big twelve, 1374 01:05:43.519 --> 01:05:46.960 and it's a really critical time for Xavier basketball, not 1375 01:05:47.159 --> 01:05:50.440 just because they've lost a very good coach, but because 1376 01:05:50.440 --> 01:05:53.360 the transfer portal opened up the same day they lose 1377 01:05:53.400 --> 01:05:56.519 their coach. Which, as much as I am a fan 1378 01:05:56.800 --> 01:05:59.880 of players being allowed to come and go as they please, 1379 01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:02.280 I think it's ridiculous to have the portal open while 1380 01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:06.000 the season is ongoing, and so time is of the essence. 1381 01:06:06.119 --> 01:06:07.920 You've got to hire a new coach who's got to 1382 01:06:07.960 --> 01:06:11.880 get right to work filling the roster, maybe recruiting some 1383 01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:15.559 Navier players from this past season. So I think there's 1384 01:06:15.639 --> 01:06:18.320 hope for all of them, but all of them are 1385 01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:23.119 facing significant questions either heading into their season or coming 1386 01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:24.920 out of the most recently completed season. 1387 01:06:25.119 --> 01:06:28.360 Let's talk about your Cincinnati Reds. I know the Xavier faithful. 1388 01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:31.079 Tony Bender is a great Xavier fan. He's got the 1389 01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:35.880 playing detailed numbers of private jets flying all over Naples 1390 01:06:35.960 --> 01:06:38.400 to Charleston to Cincinnati. We'll leave that off to the 1391 01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:42.119 side for a moment. Terry Francona, I briefly remember him 1392 01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:45.079 from nineteen eighty seven. He was a first base mins 1393 01:06:45.239 --> 01:06:47.800 to speak, hit like two twenty or something. But Terry 1394 01:06:47.840 --> 01:06:50.679 Francona has been manager of the year three times. He's 1395 01:06:50.719 --> 01:06:53.800 been two World Series rings, which are pretty good. And 1396 01:06:54.320 --> 01:06:58.719 he's also managed something in the range of eleven postseason games, 1397 01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:02.679 and his manager a record is about fifty four percent. 1398 01:07:02.800 --> 01:07:06.239 He's managed about three thousand, six hundred games, which is 1399 01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:08.920 pretty good. And he also was the coach of Michael 1400 01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:12.639 Jordan's the one time the Goat and Basketball played for 1401 01:07:12.719 --> 01:07:15.840 the Barons, it was Terry Francona giving him the ins 1402 01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:18.440 and outs of basketball. Plus he has great feelings for 1403 01:07:18.840 --> 01:07:21.559 Pete Rose. So as far as Terry Francona is concerned, 1404 01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:23.360 the Reds could not have made a better high I 1405 01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:25.679 think the Hall of Famer Marty Bredman was close to that. 1406 01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:27.440 Of course, Terry Francona is going to be a Hall 1407 01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:30.679 of Famer too. But why does a manager make that 1408 01:07:30.840 --> 01:07:34.000 much difference in baseball as opposed to other sports, if. 1409 01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:39.000 Any Well, I think if the talent is mediocre, and 1410 01:07:39.079 --> 01:07:40.960 if the talent is not very good, I think the 1411 01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:45.320 manager makes no difference whatsoever. You know, we've seen, unfortunately 1412 01:07:45.400 --> 01:07:48.000 over the last few decades the Reds put on the 1413 01:07:48.039 --> 01:07:50.400 field a lot are really bad teams. I'm not sure 1414 01:07:50.679 --> 01:07:54.000 anybody could have achieved significantly better results. I think when 1415 01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:58.079 you have a team with promise, a team that does 1416 01:07:58.199 --> 01:08:00.880 have some talent, and I think a team that has 1417 01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:04.239 some young talent, I think there's something about a great 1418 01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:07.119 leader's ability to help those players get the most out 1419 01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:10.159 of that talent, to communicate really well with those players, 1420 01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:13.599 and I also think helped the team win in the margins. 1421 01:08:13.880 --> 01:08:15.599 If you were to go back to last season, if 1422 01:08:15.639 --> 01:08:18.039 you and I have talked about this, the Rats were 1423 01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:21.319 really bad in one run game. Is that solely because 1424 01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:24.920 of David Bell? Absolutely not, But could a handful of 1425 01:08:25.039 --> 01:08:27.800 decisions be made by the manager that swings some of 1426 01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:30.840 those games in the other direction. I think the answer 1427 01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:33.760 is yes. I also think there's a manager's ability to 1428 01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:37.560 have the sort of gravitas that Terry Francona has because 1429 01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:39.720 of where he's been and what he's done, and. 1430 01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:41.880 Maybe use that to hold. 1431 01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:44.079 Players a little bit more accountable. That's been the word 1432 01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:46.880 that has been used from day one, from that first 1433 01:08:46.960 --> 01:08:49.439 day in October when we found out that Terry Francona 1434 01:08:49.800 --> 01:08:54.000 is going to manage this team accountable? Accountability? Is Terry 1435 01:08:54.079 --> 01:08:56.479 Francona going to hold players accountable when they make some 1436 01:08:56.560 --> 01:08:59.479 of the repeating mistakes we saw last year. Is Terry 1437 01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:01.920 francon going to have a shorter leash with some guys 1438 01:09:02.239 --> 01:09:04.840 when they don't perform. Is Terry Francona is going to 1439 01:09:04.920 --> 01:09:08.439 have the ability to say to the front office, this 1440 01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:12.119 is how I want things done, as opposed vice versa. 1441 01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:16.800 I'm really bullish on what a Hall of Fame manager 1442 01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:20.119 like this could accomplish with this team. But I think 1443 01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:23.560 that's mainly because I think Terry Francona really has something 1444 01:09:23.600 --> 01:09:25.880 to work with. I think he's got a good starting staff. 1445 01:09:26.399 --> 01:09:28.479 And while I certainly do wonder if this team is 1446 01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:30.560 going to score it enough, I think there are some 1447 01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:34.520 good enough players on this team that a combination of talent, luck, 1448 01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:37.359 and really good leadership could yield really good results. 1449 01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:39.920 Well, I mean, you have a manager that's managed to 1450 01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:44.159 Phillies the Red Sox the two World Series. Poppy was there, 1451 01:09:44.159 --> 01:09:46.920 and of course he was pretty good. You got the 1452 01:09:46.960 --> 01:09:49.119 Indians and the Guardians and man and that now the Reds. 1453 01:09:49.399 --> 01:09:52.800 He's got forty four postseason wins, seventh all time. And 1454 01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:55.760 one of my questions might be closer by committee because 1455 01:09:56.520 --> 01:09:59.279 Diaz as allegedly I think he's mad. He's going to 1456 01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:01.600 start on the DA he thinks his hamstring is better 1457 01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:04.880 than it is. So come Thursday afternoon, about seven o'clock 1458 01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:07.239 in the evening, if the scores two to one and 1459 01:10:07.319 --> 01:10:10.239 the Reds are winning and it's the ninth inning, who 1460 01:10:10.319 --> 01:10:12.520 does Terry francona call out of the bullpen? 1461 01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:16.319 Well, I think that's one of the most interesting questions 1462 01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:19.600 about this team, right because ordinarily you would expect it 1463 01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:23.399 to be Alexis Dz. But let's start with him. Not 1464 01:10:23.560 --> 01:10:26.760 only does Alexis Dz, not only is he currently dealing 1465 01:10:26.880 --> 01:10:31.880 with a hamstring issue, he wasn't extraordinarily effective during spring training, 1466 01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:33.920 and so I think one of the questions about this 1467 01:10:34.079 --> 01:10:35.520 team moving forward. 1468 01:10:35.439 --> 01:10:36.199 Is going to be. 1469 01:10:37.680 --> 01:10:40.159 How good is Alexis d As in whatever role he 1470 01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:43.760 has put in, whether he is closing out games, whether 1471 01:10:43.840 --> 01:10:47.000 he is pitching in high leverage situations at the seventh 1472 01:10:47.079 --> 01:10:49.960 or eighth inning, how effective is he? And is he 1473 01:10:50.039 --> 01:10:52.479 going to be handed the job of closer once he 1474 01:10:52.600 --> 01:10:55.319 comes back In the absence of him, I think the 1475 01:10:55.359 --> 01:10:59.760 two names to pay attention to most closely are Taylor, 1476 01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:03.640 who has closed games before, and Scott Barlow, who has 1477 01:11:03.720 --> 01:11:07.880 closed games before. Those were two late offseason pickups by 1478 01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:11.079 Nick kraw that I think are really really good additions. 1479 01:11:11.159 --> 01:11:13.600 But you know, to me, you're talking about Terry Francona. 1480 01:11:13.840 --> 01:11:16.439 I think in the game itself, that's where a manager 1481 01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:21.159 has the biggest impact, the handling of a bullpen, choosing 1482 01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:24.159 which pitchers to use against a certain hitter or in 1483 01:11:24.239 --> 01:11:27.880 a certain situation. And to a degree, Terry Francona will 1484 01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:30.720 start the season a little bit handicapped because he's not 1485 01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:33.680 going to have Alexis Diaz. Fortunately, I do think there 1486 01:11:33.720 --> 01:11:37.920 are some other options. But I also believe, and I 1487 01:11:38.079 --> 01:11:40.720 read this, I believe from C. Frent Rose Brands in 1488 01:11:40.760 --> 01:11:43.319 the Athletic I think you could have made the argument 1489 01:11:43.760 --> 01:11:46.600 that some of the Reds better relief options will actually 1490 01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:49.119 start the season in Louisville, because I think they have 1491 01:11:49.239 --> 01:11:52.159 some really good arms down there. I think they chose 1492 01:11:52.319 --> 01:11:56.880 for experience and you know, maybe more of a mismash 1493 01:11:56.960 --> 01:11:59.920 of guys than they did some of the higher end 1494 01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:02.479 arms in the minor leagues. But getting back to your 1495 01:12:02.520 --> 01:12:05.520 original question, I would look for Taylor Rodgers to get 1496 01:12:05.520 --> 01:12:07.640 a chance to close in games. I would look at 1497 01:12:07.680 --> 01:12:10.520 Scott Barlowe as having an ability having the opportunity to 1498 01:12:10.600 --> 01:12:11.479 close in games as well. 1499 01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:14.000 You know, I like historical references. You might recall in 1500 01:12:14.039 --> 01:12:17.239 the late nineteen sixties Dave Bristol was a manager and 1501 01:12:17.319 --> 01:12:20.079 the Reds brought in a young guy named Sparky Anderson 1502 01:12:20.479 --> 01:12:22.840 went to the World Series in seventy seventy two, one 1503 01:12:22.880 --> 01:12:25.640 at All in seventy five, seventy six. Jump at about 1504 01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:28.359 twenty years Loup Panela. After four or five years of 1505 01:12:28.439 --> 01:12:31.079 Pete Rose and all that drama at finished second, like 1506 01:12:31.159 --> 01:12:32.760 four or five years in a row, here comes a 1507 01:12:32.800 --> 01:12:35.880 brand new manager, Lou Panella. Wire to wire World Series. 1508 01:12:36.119 --> 01:12:39.439 Here we are about what thirty five years later, and 1509 01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:42.159 there's a sense this club's got got it in gear, 1510 01:12:42.239 --> 01:12:44.399 but they're spinning in the mud, and so much like 1511 01:12:44.479 --> 01:12:48.600 Sparky New Manager World Series, Loup Panello, New Manager World Series. 1512 01:12:48.840 --> 01:12:52.319 How about Terry Francota, New New Manager World Series? How 1513 01:12:52.359 --> 01:12:54.119 about that historical analysis? 1514 01:12:55.600 --> 01:12:59.079 Well, I think there is a track record you mentioned 1515 01:12:59.199 --> 01:13:02.960 Lou Panella. As much as it's been frustrating that the 1516 01:13:03.039 --> 01:13:05.640 Reds haven't won a World Series or appeared in one 1517 01:13:05.680 --> 01:13:08.960 in three and a half decades, when they have in 1518 01:13:09.079 --> 01:13:14.840 the past brought in an experienced manager with Bonaphis who 1519 01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:20.159 has managed in the postseason before. That manager has managed 1520 01:13:20.159 --> 01:13:23.840 the Reds in the postseason. You know, Luke Panella had 1521 01:13:23.960 --> 01:13:26.439 never managed in the postseason with the New York Yankees, right, 1522 01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:30.680 but he had had some success. Comes to Cincinnati, takes 1523 01:13:30.720 --> 01:13:32.319 the team to the World Series, and they win it. 1524 01:13:32.800 --> 01:13:36.479 They hired Davy Johnson, who obviously managed the New York 1525 01:13:36.560 --> 01:13:38.600 Mets in the World Series in nineteen eighty six. 1526 01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:40.039 He was the last. 1527 01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:42.359 Manager to win in the postseason. With the Reds, they 1528 01:13:42.479 --> 01:13:45.520 hired Dusty Baker. Dusty had been in the postseason, had 1529 01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:47.920 been in the World Series with the San Francisco Giants, 1530 01:13:48.439 --> 01:13:50.399 and come very close to getting to the World Series 1531 01:13:50.439 --> 01:13:53.039 with the Chicago Cubs. Say which the one about Dusty 1532 01:13:53.399 --> 01:13:56.760 Dusty managed the Reds in the postseason three times. Is 1533 01:13:57.319 --> 01:13:59.479 the hiring of the manager the only reason why those 1534 01:13:59.520 --> 01:14:03.640 teams had success, of course not, but in all three 1535 01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:08.760 cases they brought in someone who had previous experience, and 1536 01:14:08.880 --> 01:14:11.000 in the cases that two of those guys had managed 1537 01:14:11.079 --> 01:14:13.399 the postseason before. If you look at some of the 1538 01:14:13.520 --> 01:14:21.319 other hires Jerry Narren, Dave Miley, Brian Price, David Bell, 1539 01:14:22.079 --> 01:14:24.439 you know some of those guys better than others. But 1540 01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:27.079 you know, David Bella never managed before. Brian Price had 1541 01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:29.560 never managed before. Dave Miley had never managed the major 1542 01:14:29.640 --> 01:14:32.880 league level before. Bob Boone, to the best of my recollection, 1543 01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:37.359 had never managed before. So is does that guarantee that 1544 01:14:37.399 --> 01:14:39.640 Terry Francona is going to manage the Reds in the postseason? 1545 01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:39.800 No? 1546 01:14:40.479 --> 01:14:42.520 But do you want to use history as. 1547 01:14:42.399 --> 01:14:46.920 A guide when they have hired experience managers? Those managers 1548 01:14:46.960 --> 01:14:50.079 have at least managed the Reds and been in the dugout. 1549 01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:51.159 For the postseason. 1550 01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:54.600 May not have you on mitween now and Opening Day afterwards. 1551 01:14:54.640 --> 01:14:56.800 Mo I'm gonna write it down for the analyst of history. 1552 01:14:57.159 --> 01:14:59.479 Give me the final record for the Cincinnati Reds in 1553 01:14:59.520 --> 01:15:02.119 twenty twelve, and you will be held to account. 1554 01:15:03.439 --> 01:15:05.279 I think the Reds are gonna go eighty three and 1555 01:15:05.439 --> 01:15:09.119 seventy nine, which is a six game improvement from last year. 1556 01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:13.399 I think the upside of this team. I don't think 1557 01:15:13.439 --> 01:15:15.399 there's a team in the National League Central that has 1558 01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:20.039 a wider variance of possibility because I do genuinely believe 1559 01:15:20.920 --> 01:15:24.760 that if a handful of players outperform what they're projected 1560 01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:27.560 to do offensively, and if Matt McClain can play one 1561 01:15:27.640 --> 01:15:31.000 hundred and fifty games, and if Tyler Stevenson can catch 1562 01:15:31.279 --> 01:15:33.479 it or at least play in one hundred and thirty games, 1563 01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:37.239 and if Christian and Carnassi on Strand can stay healthy 1564 01:15:37.319 --> 01:15:40.279 and hit, you know, in excess of twenty five homers. 1565 01:15:40.680 --> 01:15:43.000 I think there's a world where the Reds win ninety 1566 01:15:43.079 --> 01:15:46.119 games and ninety games ninety wins, I think will take 1567 01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:49.279 the National League Central. I also think there's a world 1568 01:15:49.359 --> 01:15:52.119 where once again, a lot of the young starting pitchers, 1569 01:15:52.159 --> 01:15:55.159 they're not even that young anymore. Nicolodolo is twenty seven 1570 01:15:55.239 --> 01:15:58.039 years old, Hunter Green is about to start a sports 1571 01:15:58.079 --> 01:16:01.199 big league season. Those guys deal with injuries. Again, the 1572 01:16:01.279 --> 01:16:03.680 bullpen is not as good as we hope. A lot 1573 01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:06.239 of guys don't hit, and injuries are an issue, and 1574 01:16:06.359 --> 01:16:09.680 their depth gets tested and they fail that test. I 1575 01:16:09.720 --> 01:16:11.960 think there's a world where they lose ninety games. But 1576 01:16:12.079 --> 01:16:13.840 I think number one, they'll be better in one run 1577 01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:16.680 games this year. Number two, I think their starting staff 1578 01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:19.119 has a chance to be a major asset, and they 1579 01:16:19.159 --> 01:16:22.279 do have a lot of position players with upside. I 1580 01:16:22.760 --> 01:16:25.439 think they'll be five or six games better than they 1581 01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:28.560 were last season. I don't really think they're going to 1582 01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:32.560 hit enough to win eighty nine ninety ninety one games, 1583 01:16:32.680 --> 01:16:36.199 and so I'll settle on eighty three wins and hope 1584 01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:38.439 that they exceed that with room despair. 1585 01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:41.359 Lastly, Barry Larkin gave an interview in what he said 1586 01:16:41.399 --> 01:16:43.680 there's a new sheriff in town. When he was a 1587 01:16:44.199 --> 01:16:46.920 star player in eighty seven, eighty eight, eighty nine, that 1588 01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:49.920 was a crisis, as you may recall, with Pete Rose 1589 01:16:49.960 --> 01:16:51.039 always finishing second. 1590 01:16:51.079 --> 01:16:52.560 Eighty nine was a terrible year. 1591 01:16:52.920 --> 01:16:54.920 And he said, as soon as lou Panela walked into 1592 01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:57.039 the locker room, I think they were in Tampa, there 1593 01:16:57.119 --> 01:16:59.159 might have been in Planned City and said, hey, there's 1594 01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:01.119 a new sheriff in town. It was like the doors 1595 01:17:01.159 --> 01:17:04.119 that were flown wide open. Fresh air came in. Terry 1596 01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:06.520 Francona is going to be a breath of fresh air, 1597 01:17:07.039 --> 01:17:09.359 and we just pray to God this team picks up. 1598 01:17:09.880 --> 01:17:11.039 We have about a minute remaining. 1599 01:17:11.359 --> 01:17:13.760 I can't think of college basketball and now with all 1600 01:17:13.760 --> 01:17:15.720 the March games going on in worse shape than it 1601 01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:18.800 is right now, I can't identify with the players. I 1602 01:17:18.840 --> 01:17:21.000 don't know who's gonna play for Xavier next year, who's 1603 01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:23.760 gonna play for UC Wes Miller, who's going to play 1604 01:17:23.760 --> 01:17:24.319 for Kentucky. 1605 01:17:24.439 --> 01:17:25.039 Nobody knows. 1606 01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:29.000 Nil is the wild Wild West, in which the players 1607 01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:32.479 often make more money than the coaches. A new sheriff 1608 01:17:32.720 --> 01:17:35.680 needs to come to NCAA basketball because this thing's a 1609 01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:37.359 total mess. Would you agree? 1610 01:17:38.880 --> 01:17:38.920 No? 1611 01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:42.600 I think this era of college basketball is awesome. Finally 1612 01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:45.880 the labor is getting compensated and in many cases getting 1613 01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:49.000 their market value. I think there are some tweaks. I 1614 01:17:49.039 --> 01:17:51.800 think it's ridiculous to have the transfer portal already open 1615 01:17:51.880 --> 01:17:54.000 while you have the Sweet sixteen, Elite eight, and Final 1616 01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:54.720 Four going on. 1617 01:17:56.119 --> 01:17:57.399 There's a very, very. 1618 01:17:57.359 --> 01:17:59.880 Easy solution to all this. Will he make the players 1619 01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:03.079 on contracts Now, if a player signs a four year contract, 1620 01:18:03.159 --> 01:18:05.600 he's beholden to that school for four years. A player 1621 01:18:05.640 --> 01:18:07.760 may sign a two year contract, player may sign a 1622 01:18:07.840 --> 01:18:12.520 one year contract. That's the solution. I think what it 1623 01:18:12.560 --> 01:18:15.800 has done. Number One, players are staying in college longer. 1624 01:18:16.359 --> 01:18:19.119 That's good for the sport, that's good for the players. 1625 01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:23.439 Number Two, you can get things turned around very quickly. 1626 01:18:23.560 --> 01:18:26.039 Whoever the new head coach at Zager is, and certainly 1627 01:18:26.439 --> 01:18:28.279 I think there's a lot of validity to the idea 1628 01:18:28.319 --> 01:18:32.159 that it should be Chris Mack. We don't do three 1629 01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:35.000 four year plans anymore. Look at Tat Kelsey at the 1630 01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:37.279 University of Louisville and the success they. 1631 01:18:37.239 --> 01:18:38.279 Had in year one there. 1632 01:18:38.640 --> 01:18:39.680 Look at Mark Pope. 1633 01:18:39.439 --> 01:18:42.840 At the University of Kentucky with basically a brand new team. 1634 01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:46.960 You can get turned around in a hurry, and the 1635 01:18:47.000 --> 01:18:49.680 players have rights and they're getting paid now, and the 1636 01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:52.239 quality of play on the floor. I think this season 1637 01:18:52.560 --> 01:18:58.640 was exceptional. I hear this all the time. You absolutely 1638 01:18:58.760 --> 01:19:01.319 miss me with the idea that this era of college 1639 01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:04.439 basketball is bad. I think this era of college basketball 1640 01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:06.199 is way, way, way overdue. 1641 01:19:06.399 --> 01:19:08.840 Well, they are young men, they're adults. And I love 1642 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:11.800 the idea that you just expressed of signing a contract 1643 01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:15.520 which isn'enforceable. Of course, when coaches signed contracts, largely they're 1644 01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:18.960 unenforceable because of the liquidated damage his clause. You pay 1645 01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:21.159 the money and you're gone. If the players would sign 1646 01:19:21.239 --> 01:19:23.600 contracts and say that's it, maybe that would be better. 1647 01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:26.479 Once again, Moe, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 1648 01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:29.920 And spring is here.
