Speaker 1: By Billy Cunning in the Great American and coming up
Speaker 1: later as Rets manager Terry Francona brought the prospects for
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Reds. And also we have later
Speaker 1: on scheduled Mowagger to talk about Xavier basketball and what's
Speaker 1: happening in the in March tournament games and in the
Speaker 1: studio with me. It's viavek Ramaswami Viveke. Welcome again to
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunning mshow vivic. How are you good to
Speaker 1: be here in person this time? And this is unbelieved
Speaker 1: you're sitting right here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Oh, it's better this way.
Speaker 1: Let's get into the issues. You were born and raised
Speaker 1: to hear Springfield township, even Dale went to Princeton. And
Speaker 1: the thing that I think many people want to know
Speaker 1: is why are you running for governor. You're a billionaire,
Speaker 1: You're connected to the Trumpster, You're at the inaugural right
Speaker 1: next to the president. You have all the things going
Speaker 1: for You're a young guy, like thirty eight or thirty
Speaker 1: nine years old, and uh, and in politics is something
Speaker 1: that most guys your age don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: You have him money, you got your family, you got
Speaker 1: your stuff to do. Dot why are you running for governor?
Speaker 3: He raised some great points, But the reason I'm running
Speaker 3: is I'm filled with gratitude to our country and to
Speaker 3: our state. I've lived in American dream at a scale
Speaker 3: that my parents would have never imagined when they came
Speaker 3: here to Cincinnati forty five years ago, and I'm on
Speaker 3: a mission to make sure we can actually pass that
Speaker 3: on to my two kids and their generation. And I'm
Speaker 3: worried that isn't going to happen unless we have leaders
Speaker 3: who actually step up.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: Prison Trump is ushering in a golden age for the country,
Speaker 3: and I'm incredibly proud to watch what he's doing. But
Speaker 3: what a lot of what he's doing is shifting responsibility
Speaker 3: back to the states and to the people where it belongs.
Speaker 3: Look at the shutdown of the Department of Education just
Speaker 3: last week as a good example. That's a great first step,
Speaker 3: but it's then going to fall on the states and
Speaker 3: the people. That's what our founders envisioned to get the
Speaker 3: job done. So Billy, that highlighted to me that being
Speaker 3: a governor was the right step for me to make
Speaker 3: a positive impact on the country, and also to do
Speaker 3: it in the state where I was born and raised
Speaker 3: where I'm raising my kids, and my vision for Ohio
Speaker 3: isn't just for us to be one one of the
Speaker 3: better states in the Midwest, which in fairness we are
Speaker 3: right now. I don't want us to be one of
Speaker 3: the better states in the Midwest. I want us to
Speaker 3: be the best state in the country to raise a family,
Speaker 3: to start a business, to create generate wealth and keep
Speaker 3: that wealth, and to give our kids the same conviction
Speaker 3: that Neil Armstrong and John Glenn and the Wright brothers
Speaker 3: had when they grew up in Ohio. That's what I
Speaker 3: want to bring back. And I think it's going to
Speaker 3: take a different generation of leadership in the.
Speaker 1: Citevag Ohio is unique on the northern shore with lots
Speaker 1: of water, southern shore lots of water. We have flat
Speaker 1: land because of the applies to the seene Age when
Speaker 1: the Great Glacier came down from the North Pole and
Speaker 1: they scraped Ohio clean all the way to the Seven
Speaker 1: Hills of Cincinnati. That's why it's flat. Great farming community.
Speaker 1: And I see eight major cities. I see manufacturing, I
Speaker 1: see interstate highway systems, I see public education. Within the
Speaker 1: sound of my voice got my University, got NKU, got Xavier.
Speaker 1: You see Indiana, you have Thomas Moore, you have mount S,
Speaker 1: You got all of these colleges.
Speaker 5: Ready to go.
Speaker 1: But Ohio is losing population and I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's a GDP in Ohio. I can't imagine it is
Speaker 1: going up a lot. Is what's wrong with Ohio?
Speaker 3: Well, I would say, at our core, nothing's wrong with Ohio.
Speaker 3: At our core, we're the greatest state, at the heart
Speaker 3: of the greatest nation known to mankind. We have the
Speaker 3: same God given gifts we did when we led the
Speaker 3: first Industrial Revolution, same fertile farmland, same natural resources underneath
Speaker 3: our ground, including oil and natural gas in our own state,
Speaker 3: our geographic position. You think about this way better than
Speaker 3: Florida or Texas. We've got sixty percent of North America's
Speaker 3: population within a single day's drive of where you and
Speaker 3: I are sitting right now. So God has blessed our
Speaker 3: state with every gift we could wish for to be
Speaker 3: the leading state in the country. All we have to
Speaker 3: do is actually start believing in ourselves again. You want
Speaker 3: to know, you ask me what's wrong. It's a crisis
Speaker 3: of self confidence in this state. And I think we
Speaker 3: have every reason to believe in ourselves. There are some
Speaker 3: changes we need to make. We need to become a
Speaker 3: zero income tax state. I think we need to bring
Speaker 3: down the regulatory burden to create new jobs and to
Speaker 3: build new businesses in the state. But at the core
Speaker 3: of the natural foundations of Ohio, we have every reason
Speaker 3: to believe in ourselves. The problem right now is we
Speaker 3: have a population decline issue. And you talk about jobs, jobs, jobs,
Speaker 3: you and I were talking about that before.
Speaker 2: I agree with that.
Speaker 3: We don't have enough good people who are able to
Speaker 3: fill those jobs that new businesses may bring to our state.
Speaker 3: And here's why. Part of it is we have a
Speaker 3: fertility issue. People are having fewer kids in our state.
Speaker 3: Part of it is when they do have kids, those
Speaker 3: kids go out to other states once they get education
Speaker 3: here to live their American dreams somewhere else. That creates
Speaker 3: a demographic issue where we have Actually the death rate
Speaker 3: is going up with an older population and younger people
Speaker 3: leaving the state. We're number thirty eight now within people
Speaker 3: moving in versus out Texas thirty eight. Yes, Florida's number one.
Speaker 3: Texas is number two. We are number thirty eight. Billy
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, we reached an all time low at
Speaker 3: that time. Now it's even lower for our fertility rate.
Speaker 3: We have more people moving out of our state than in.
Speaker 3: We're one of the only red states that's in that category.
Speaker 3: That's got to change, and it's got to change.
Speaker 5: Educations and crisis.
Speaker 1: You went to Princeton, Yes, I read in the newspapers
Speaker 1: that if Princeton fails the levy in a month or two,
Speaker 1: they're going to shut down two elementary schools, one of
Speaker 1: what you probably went to. It's also had the money.
Speaker 3: It's very personal to me, so Roberty Lucas Intermediate School
Speaker 3: RELIS out in Sharonville. I went there for sixth grade
Speaker 3: at a magnet program. Relis shut down. RELIS doesn't exist
Speaker 3: as a school today. And actually, I mean the teacher there,
Speaker 3: Missus Kenney, she changed my life. She passed away a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago in an accident, but she was
Speaker 3: somebody who saw potential in me that I didn't even
Speaker 3: know I had, lit a fire under my feet, got
Speaker 3: me to work harder. I credit her for my journey
Speaker 3: in living the American dream in the way that I have.
Speaker 3: But we're not getting teachers like Missus Kinney anymore because
Speaker 3: there is no meritocracy in compensation. Right, I've lived the
Speaker 3: American dream. You have Donald Trump, Elon Musk, you could
Speaker 3: have a wide range of bezos, Bill Gates. They've all
Speaker 3: lived the American dream. And that's great, that rags to
Speaker 3: riches story through business. But I think the question we
Speaker 3: got to asked Billy is do we really think a
Speaker 3: public school teacher in the year twenty twenty five in
Speaker 3: the state of Ohio can live the American dream?
Speaker 1: And we don't make enough money?
Speaker 5: Right exactly right now?
Speaker 2: The answer to that question, sadly is now.
Speaker 1: Five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. That is the starting side.
Speaker 3: It's a little under forty five thousand dollars the average
Speaker 3: starting salary for a new teacher across America, and this
Speaker 3: is true in Ohio too. That's got to change, but
Speaker 3: we've got to do it according to a meritocracy, which
Speaker 3: is what we don't have in our public schools. The
Speaker 3: best teachers deserve to be paid a lot more than
Speaker 3: they are right now, as determined by parental assessments. Parents
Speaker 3: know whether their kids are really getting that right educational
Speaker 3: experience or not. Peer assessments right, even principles and other
Speaker 3: teachers in the school know who's doing a good job,
Speaker 3: who's carrying their weight, and who isn't. And then also
Speaker 3: we got to look at the proficiency of our students.
Speaker 3: I mean, right now, seventy five percent of eighth graders.
Speaker 3: Just to think about this for a second, three out
Speaker 3: of four eighth graders are not proficient in math. That's unacceptable.
Speaker 3: You got kids in China, on average, are four years
Speaker 3: ahead of their counterpart in the US. What does that
Speaker 3: mean a seventh grader here is performing at the same
Speaker 3: academic performance as a third grader in China. That doesn't
Speaker 3: work for me. I'm speaking as an Ohioan, as an American,
Speaker 3: as a parent. Well, here's how we're gonna do it.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: First of all, bring back the best teachers in meritocracy
Speaker 3: in our schools, roll up our sleeves and actually get
Speaker 3: into the curriculum, re emphasizing math, reading, writing, and critical
Speaker 3: thinking instead of a lot of this sel dei indoctrination, victimhood, psychology,
Speaker 3: reward performance. Get the cell phones out of the classroom, amen.
Speaker 3: Bring back physical education which helps mental health at a
Speaker 3: young age. Starting pe in kindergarten. Bring back the presidential
Speaker 3: fitness test that you and I both had when we
Speaker 3: were going through school. Yes, that includes the pull ups
Speaker 3: I did mind this morning, I promise you. And that
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it's going to be for everybody passing in
Speaker 3: the same way, but it sets a standard for what
Speaker 3: you actually want to achieve. Think about civic education. We're
Speaker 3: totally missing civic education today. I think that every kid
Speaker 3: who graduates from a high school in this state of
Speaker 3: public high school should have to pass the same Civics
Speaker 3: test that every legal immigrant has to pass before they
Speaker 3: become a naturalized citizen. That's something we should expect of our
Speaker 3: high school seniors, at least before they graduate from high school.
Speaker 3: I want the Pledge of allegiance every morning with a
Speaker 3: moment of silence to allow kids to fill that vacuum
Speaker 3: of purpose and meaning in their heart, emphasize actual achievement,
Speaker 3: and reward it both for the teachers and for the students.
Speaker 3: It's a culture of achievement that I want to bring
Speaker 3: back to our educational system. And I still think we
Speaker 3: have time. We can write this ship, we can turn
Speaker 3: this around. I want to lead Ohio Billy to be
Speaker 3: the top state in the country and in the world
Speaker 3: to give our kids that world class education.
Speaker 1: Algosoms years ago. I can recall a big Intel plant.
Speaker 1: It was going to generate tens of thousands of jobs
Speaker 1: in and around Columbus, much fanfare. Intel the CEO is
Speaker 1: now fired. Came I'm told there's billions of dollars worth
Speaker 1: of infrastructure inside the ground. You can't see what happened
Speaker 1: to the Intel plant in central Ohio.
Speaker 3: Look, I want to be blunt about this. It's a
Speaker 3: disappointment that it's on a five year delay now. The
Speaker 3: timeline that we were supposed to have started seeing chips
Speaker 3: being produced to that factories pushed out for five years.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of reasons behind that.
Speaker 3: My goal is not to curse the darkness, or to
Speaker 3: blame anybody who came before me, or to blame anybody
Speaker 3: on the outside. My goal is how do we actually
Speaker 3: fix Ohio to make sure that the commitments that are
Speaker 3: made to our state are actually followed through on a
Speaker 3: timeline that serves the people of our state as well.
Speaker 3: I also, as the governor, want to ask companies, frankly,
Speaker 3: what can we be doing better as a state in
Speaker 3: terms of our regulatory burden, cutting red tape, cutting the
Speaker 3: tax burden, cutting the tax burden, and also putting more
Speaker 3: money in people's pockets that improves the workforce issues that
Speaker 3: we have in our state. So part of this is
Speaker 3: the next governor of the state. I'm not looking to
Speaker 3: blame anybody else. I'm looking to look ourselves in the
Speaker 3: mirror and say, what can we be doing better to
Speaker 3: make sure that something like this doesn't happen again. With
Speaker 3: five year delays baked in at the last second for
Speaker 3: when they're supposed to have been producing instead of being
Speaker 3: pushed out five years.
Speaker 2: Is that a good thing?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed about it, but I'm also going to make
Speaker 3: sure that we fix the issues that stop the companies
Speaker 3: from being able to follow through on those commitments as well.
Speaker 1: Veg Ramaswami. A few months ago, the powers that be
Speaker 1: told me that you went down to Amar A Lago
Speaker 1: and met with President Trump and he kind of wanted
Speaker 1: you to run for the Senate. He wanted to appoint
Speaker 1: you to the Senate, to the open seat of JD
Speaker 1: Vance and you start work tomorrow, start work on Monday,
Speaker 1: and you looked into the eye and said, let me
Speaker 1: think about it, and you came back and said, no,
Speaker 1: I do not want to be a US Senator and
Speaker 1: he said what why? And then you said, I want
Speaker 1: to be governor. And then the guy pigeonholed to be
Speaker 1: the next governor senator. Now, John, you said, went went
Speaker 1: down tomorrow, lag go with with Governor DeWine And he
Speaker 1: had to be talked into running for the Senate because
Speaker 1: the appointment was tomorrow. Why did you turn down the
Speaker 1: US Senate seat of JD Vance to run for a
Speaker 1: position that's like almost two years away as opposed to
Speaker 1: taking the Senate immediately.
Speaker 2: Well, look, I think that at a high level.
Speaker 3: First of all, I want to thank President Trump for
Speaker 3: setting such a good tone from the top. He won
Speaker 3: with a decisive mandate that he's now delivering on, and
Speaker 3: I'm optimistic about what he's going to accomplish. He and
Speaker 3: I have had some great conversations over the years and
Speaker 3: over the last year in particular, and what I shared
Speaker 3: with him is, like him, I'm an executive, right. I
Speaker 3: like to get things done, not just through the sausage
Speaker 3: making of being you know, one of one hundred. So
Speaker 3: it wasn't really my vision. But at the same time,
Speaker 3: I told President Trump, I was open to serving this
Speaker 3: country and whatever way would have a biggest impact. He
Speaker 3: asked me, in my heart, what was that for me,
Speaker 3: And in my heart, it was to be the next
Speaker 3: government of the Senate. They are you can get a
Speaker 3: lot done. All I do is talk and give great speech.
Speaker 1: And you go to speech, you're fine, but you don't
Speaker 1: get anything done when you're the govern I've been in
Speaker 1: the governor's mansion, I've had dinner with them, and you
Speaker 1: can actually order or demand something happen and it occurs.
Speaker 1: Is that the reason for.
Speaker 3: Me, it's about exactly the idea that you're going to
Speaker 3: see the impact that you have. Right my older son
Speaker 3: is going to be in high school by the time
Speaker 3: I'm done with two terms as governor. To me, the
Speaker 3: ability for him to grow up in a state where
Speaker 3: the changes that we made to this state, the positive changes,
Speaker 3: is something that my kids in their generation are going
Speaker 3: to grow up in and I can see that impact
Speaker 3: even on a daily basis. To me, that's rewarding. I'm
Speaker 3: also somebody who believes in action. Actions speak louder than words. Okay,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of people who can, as I said,
Speaker 3: curse the darkness. There's fewer who can actually create value
Speaker 3: and get things done. I'm a businessman. I've built multiple
Speaker 3: successful businesses. I know how to select great people, put
Speaker 3: them in positions, and give them deliverables and actually expect
Speaker 3: hard results. I think we need more people who are
Speaker 3: in the private sector to take their time in public
Speaker 3: service to lead as executives, and particularly in this state,
Speaker 3: we have such an opportunity Billy, first of all, to
Speaker 3: just start marketing Ohio to the rest of the country.
Speaker 3: That's something that frankly, I believe we have room to
Speaker 3: do a lot better on. There's a lot to love
Speaker 3: about the state. We have a beautiful northern coast, a
Speaker 3: beautiful shoreline. We've got a national park in this state.
Speaker 3: We've got the Ohio River to the Mississippi, the same
Speaker 3: Erie Canal to New York City, a great geographic position.
Speaker 3: We got to market that to the rest of the
Speaker 3: country where people don't even know about the gifts that
Speaker 3: Ohio has, the oil and natural gas underneath our ground.
Speaker 3: When I go travel this country and talk about Ohio
Speaker 3: in that way, it's eye opening for people. In fact,
Speaker 3: there's even people I've met since I've started running for governor.
Speaker 3: People from New Jersey to South Carolina, to Texas to
Speaker 3: Florida who have told me personally they are already starting
Speaker 3: the process of moving back to Ohio because they expect
Speaker 3: me to be governor and to deliver on the changes
Speaker 3: that I'm actually running on.
Speaker 1: When you get rid of the income tax, Indiana wants
Speaker 1: to do it. Many states. I think nineteen states don't
Speaker 1: have a state income tax, and you'll lower the property tax,
Speaker 1: especially for seniors income How do you pay the bills?
Speaker 2: So first, so there's eight states there's zero income tax states.
Speaker 3: If eight other states have done it, I want Ohio
Speaker 3: to be next on the list and to lead the way.
Speaker 3: Property taxes, we got it. They've gotten way too high
Speaker 3: in the state. I mean, the truth of the matter
Speaker 3: is if you're paying as much on your principal repayment
Speaker 3: of your mortgage as you are in your property taxes,
Speaker 3: it makes it feel a heck of a lot, like
Speaker 3: the land that you own is really just a lease
Speaker 3: from the government, and that's unjust. Okay, So we got
Speaker 3: to put a cap on both those things. How are
Speaker 3: you going to pay for it? Well, the number one
Speaker 3: answer is the economic growth that you drive through our state.
Speaker 3: That's gonna increase our sales tax revenue. That's gonna increase
Speaker 3: the other revenue flowing into our state's bottom line as well.
Speaker 3: And the other thing, Billy is, let's be really honest.
Speaker 3: Are we wasting a lot of money in areas where
Speaker 3: we shouldn't be. The uncomfortable answer to that question is
Speaker 3: you know it, Yes.
Speaker 1: Four letters doge four letters Ohio. Well, you bring DOSEE
Speaker 1: to Ohio.
Speaker 3: And the way we're going to do it in Ohio,
Speaker 3: I want to be clear about this, is by putting
Speaker 3: more money in people's pockets. That's what bringing it to
Speaker 3: Ohio means is take the money that's being wasted on
Speaker 3: things that don't affect your life and quite literally put
Speaker 3: it in the pocket of Ohioans. Put it in the
Speaker 3: bank account of our kids that can, with the benefit
Speaker 3: of compound interest, allow them to graduate with six figure
Speaker 3: graduation gifts when they get out of high school if
Speaker 3: they've actually had that money compounding. And we're going to
Speaker 3: come out with some very specific solutions on this, Billy
Speaker 3: in the very near term. But bringing down the income
Speaker 3: tax eventually down to zero, bringing down the property tax
Speaker 3: burden are examples of ways that My vision for the
Speaker 3: state is take the money that's being spent in ways
Speaker 3: that don't help your lives to put it in your
Speaker 3: pocket where it can help your lives. Create an economic
Speaker 3: boom in the state of a kind that we haven't
Speaker 3: seen since the Second Industrial Revolution, and have a population
Speaker 3: boom in this state, so we can have not only jobs, jobs, jobs,
Speaker 3: but jobs filled, jobs filled, jobs filled right here in
Speaker 3: the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: How do it? Lastly, how do we judge you? Say
Speaker 1: you're elected, your way up in the polls like thirty percent,
Speaker 1: you have all the endorsements of every everyone that matters
Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio. If I you and I
Speaker 1: together in four years, I just signed a four year
Speaker 1: contract extension. Yeah, if you and I together in four years,
Speaker 1: how will I judge reveg Ramaswami on whether or not
Speaker 1: you succeeded.
Speaker 2: That's a good question. So it's not just the GDP growth.
Speaker 2: We'll have GDP growth.
Speaker 3: The metrics I want you to judge me on are
Speaker 3: the number of people moving into our state versus out
Speaker 3: of thirty eighth, not thirty eighth. Right now we're number
Speaker 3: thirty eight. Florida's number one. Texas is number two. I
Speaker 3: want Ohio to be number one. That's how I want
Speaker 3: you to judge me. We're one of the few red
Speaker 3: states that has more people moving out than in. That
Speaker 3: will change when I'm governor. So I want you to
Speaker 3: judge me on the number of people moving in versus out,
Speaker 3: the number of kids born into families in our state,
Speaker 3: the number of those kids who go on to remain
Speaker 3: in our state to pursue their American dream in our
Speaker 3: state of Ohio. Those are my metrics, and I want
Speaker 3: to lead this state to be not just one of
Speaker 3: the better states in our region. I want to lead
Speaker 3: this state to be the top state in the United
Speaker 3: States of America on those metrics. And to those who
Speaker 3: say that's too ambitious, you know what, it was not
Speaker 3: long ago that Ohio was that state at the turn
Speaker 3: of the last century. That was us in the nineteen fifties,
Speaker 3: that was US when six of the top fifteen wealthiest
Speaker 3: cities in America were right here in Ohio. I want
Speaker 3: to be the governor that restores Ohio back to greatness,
Speaker 3: not just to be a regional leader, but a national
Speaker 3: leader so our kids can be proud of it and
Speaker 3: can live the American dream. By staying here instead of leaving.
Speaker 1: Have you spoken to Mike DeWine.
Speaker 4: I have.
Speaker 2: I've got to know him.
Speaker 1: How's your relationship with him? Good?
Speaker 3: From my standpoint, I've got to know him. I look
Speaker 3: forward to building on the foundation that he has laid. Look,
Speaker 3: there's a lot to like about the early movement towards
Speaker 3: economic development. So you're going to hear from me, Billy,
Speaker 3: as I leave this state, nothing but praise for the
Speaker 3: good parts of what my predecessor left me. I want
Speaker 3: to build on those foundations. But it's about where are
Speaker 3: we run in two where are we leading this state?
Speaker 3: We want to chase the future while respecting the past.
Speaker 3: Incredibly grateful for the positives of what Mike Dwine and
Speaker 3: John Houston and hopefully now Jim Tressel are accomplishing. I
Speaker 3: have nothing but praise for their love of this state.
Speaker 3: I want to build on the foundation they've laid, but
Speaker 3: to take this far further, and frankly from him and
Speaker 3: others who have come before me, if they have great
Speaker 3: advice on how we can be successful.
Speaker 1: To play tennis, Yes, I used to a ball boy there,
Speaker 1: so I was at I was running.
Speaker 3: Around collected balls when I was when I was in
Speaker 3: great school here.
Speaker 2: We were all at the towel boy. Yeah, and occasionally
Speaker 2: the players would be nice. They would hit with us
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: I played tennis at Saint X growing up, so we
Speaker 3: would occasionally be hitting balls and warming up the players.
Speaker 2: Last year I went and I take my kids down there.
Speaker 2: Now every year.
Speaker 3: I got to warm up with Ben Shelton and a
Speaker 3: couple of the other American guys who were playing there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's a good player, so he and I hit some
Speaker 3: balls in the warm up courts. So I'll be out
Speaker 3: there again.
Speaker 5: What's your west Side?
Speaker 1: If people need to know where you're going to be
Speaker 1: and what your thoughts on are more concrete fashion, what's
Speaker 1: your epsite?
Speaker 3: Sure, go to vivekefour Ohio dot com. That's vivat for
Speaker 3: Ohio dot com. And my message, frankly, if you're a
Speaker 3: Republican or a Democrat, I don't care learn more about
Speaker 3: this campaign because I'm not in this to just lead
Speaker 3: the Republican Party of Ohio. I want to lift up
Speaker 3: every person in this state, black or white, Democrat or Republican.
Speaker 3: If you care about educational excellence and economic excellence for
Speaker 3: your kids, then we're on the same team. We got
Speaker 3: a seat for the we got a seat at the
Speaker 3: table for you, and we're going to lead the entire
Speaker 3: state and unite the state going forward.
Speaker 5: Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Communication Open Bill Cunningham News next at show of the
Speaker 1: Red's News Radio seven hundred wlw H Right, Billy Cunningham,
Speaker 1: the great American. And you get around certain characters and think,
Speaker 1: you know what, that guy's got it. Whatever it is,
Speaker 1: veg Ramaswami has it and politically it reminds me almost
Speaker 1: of the Kennedy so when they, of course were alive
Speaker 1: and they inspired young folks to do special things. And
Speaker 1: it's wonderful and I'm glad that he turned down the
Speaker 1: opportunity serving the US Senate. He'd be one of one
Speaker 1: hundred as the governor of Ohio, who'll be one of
Speaker 1: one and we need that and badly. And I love
Speaker 1: this tet. I love where I was born, born in Covington,
Speaker 1: raised here. I think it's wonderful to have a guy
Speaker 1: who's a multi billionaire who wants to take his talents
Speaker 1: and bring it to the state government in Ohio. Open
Speaker 1: up the windows, let the fresh air roll in, so
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Down the road right now. David
Speaker 1: yost Is, the Attorney General, also announced he's going to
Speaker 1: run for governor. And also Amy Acton, Yes, Amy Acton,
Speaker 1: that's same doctor. Amy Acton wants to run as a Democrat.
Speaker 1: Good luck with that. Of course. Out there in the hinterlands,
Speaker 1: you have Shared Brown et cetera. Who is the He's
Speaker 1: in his seventies, he works at Harvard, and he may
Speaker 1: run for governor against Vivek Ramaswami, which would be a
Speaker 1: pretty clear differential between the past and the future. And Ohio,
Speaker 1: I know, is perceived as being similar to Pennsylvania or Michigan,
Speaker 1: which it is not. We're much better positioned for all
Speaker 1: kinds of reasons, and we're kind of spinning in the
Speaker 1: mud here and drive and we need to go forward
Speaker 1: and I think vive Ramaswami is the guy that can
Speaker 1: do that. But let's see down the road what occurs.
Speaker 1: The primaries not until May of next year. And he
Speaker 1: did go to Sant X High School. I think he
Speaker 1: tried to get into Deer Park but had residency problems.
Speaker 1: Went to Sant X High School and twenty five years
Speaker 1: ago he was the ictorian. In fact, if you go
Speaker 1: to YouTube. You can pot up his speech and take
Speaker 1: a look at what he said twenty five years ago,
Speaker 1: and he came out of Princeton, went to of course
Speaker 1: grade school in Princeton. Now, Princeton's got terrible problems at SCPs.
Speaker 1: About half of our school districts are in terrible condition
Speaker 1: because of the behavior of the students. The fact that
Speaker 1: money doesn't solve the problem of human behavior. When seventy
Speaker 1: percent of the black boys in Cincinnati are chronically absent,
Speaker 1: and those numbers are rising in every racial agenda group,
Speaker 1: we got a problem. And no states better positioned than
Speaker 1: Ohio to participate in the greatness of the Trumpet administration
Speaker 1: moving forward because of our geographical location and the fact
Speaker 1: that we have everything in this state that represents the
Speaker 1: United States of America. In fact, if you want Ohio,
Speaker 1: you win the nation. We have large cities and small cities,
Speaker 1: We have villages and township governments, we have farming communities,
Speaker 1: we have natural gas and oil. We got it all
Speaker 1: right here, and we're doing the best we can, but
Speaker 1: a bit we need a new direction. And I give
Speaker 1: Mike to Wine lots of credit for landing the Intel situation.
Speaker 1: And almost as soon as that happened. Intel started having
Speaker 1: problems because they weren't as connected to AI as other
Speaker 1: companies were. And so there's a couple of billion dollars
Speaker 1: of infrastructure in the ground, but now it's a five
Speaker 1: year weight. When I talk to those involved in the project,
Speaker 1: they will tell you this is through the Chips Act
Speaker 1: out of Washington, and DC's helping out a little bit
Speaker 1: with the financing, etc. But in order to get a
Speaker 1: job in the chip factory in central Ohio, they have
Speaker 1: all these DEI prints. It's hard to find Mexican electricians
Speaker 1: in the right numbers. It's hard to find disabled individuals
Speaker 1: who want to get on the roof. It's hard to
Speaker 1: find those who are deaf or hard of hearing whatever
Speaker 1: to have jobs. So in order to work on the project,
Speaker 1: your employees have got to be in certain sexual or
Speaker 1: racial categories in order to get the job. So I
Speaker 1: know the governor in the state of Ohio went through
Speaker 1: a living hell for one or two years to try
Speaker 1: to find small businesses that can work on the project,
Speaker 1: but did not have the right racial composition of their business,
Speaker 1: or the right enough lesbians or enough gay men, or
Speaker 1: enough those in wheelchairs. Whatever it might be and so
Speaker 1: they tried, and they kept delaying it and delaying it
Speaker 1: and delaying it because they couldn't let contracts because DEI
Speaker 1: requirements were not made. Now that's a problem. I don't
Speaker 1: care if they're all black, all white, all gay, all straight,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, get the job done, get the best
Speaker 1: person available, and get it done. And urban pub education,
Speaker 1: whether it's Covington or Cincinnati or Dayton or Columbus, they're
Speaker 1: terrible schools with lousy results. And the reason isn't money.
Speaker 1: In fact, it costs more per student at Taft and
Speaker 1: Achein than that it does it Mull or Saint X.
Speaker 1: But the problem is lack of parental involvement, a lack
Speaker 1: of a light at the end of the tunnel to
Speaker 1: work toward every day. And I don't know. When you
Speaker 1: have terrible, lousy parents producing children that are completely dysfunctional
Speaker 1: and can't read, it's pretty difficult for government to fund
Speaker 1: its way out of that crisis. And we're at a crisis.
Speaker 1: Those teenagers and those in their twenties or thirties right
Speaker 1: now are in a terrible crisis in this country. It's
Speaker 1: not like not been like this before. It's awful, it's
Speaker 1: a lack of family formation. It's the idea that I
Speaker 1: have nothing to live for. It's a fact that I
Speaker 1: can't support a family on one income. It's a fact
Speaker 1: that abortion has become a sacrament. It's a fact that
Speaker 1: in liberal circles, it's the fact that we multiply divide,
Speaker 1: subtract an ad based upon gender or race, when it
Speaker 1: should be qualifications in merit. Soever, a guy of Indian extract,
Speaker 1: if I'm going to use that term of ak Ramaswami,
Speaker 1: his parents, who are both highly educated, came here forty
Speaker 1: five years ago. He was born here about thirty nine
Speaker 1: years ago and come out of that Princeton School district
Speaker 1: to become the governor. That's pretty good and it makes
Speaker 1: a big difference. And his national and international connections can
Speaker 1: do for Ohio. What the Trumpster's doing for this country.
Speaker 1: I saw on one website, I think it was Breitbart,
Speaker 1: the number of large companies that are going to locate
Speaker 1: in America over the next two years because of the
Speaker 1: tariff situation. That is, they want to come here, and
Speaker 1: they can't afford to pay twenty five percent extra on
Speaker 1: product shift into this country. They rather make them here.
Speaker 1: So if these billions and billions of dollars are coming
Speaker 1: from Washington for education goes to the Department of Education.
Speaker 5: Needs to go away.
Speaker 1: By any fair metric, try to describe what the Department
Speaker 1: of Education does in Washington with hundreds of billions of dollars,
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of employees pushing paper back and forth.
Speaker 5: They don't do it.
Speaker 1: Rubbert never hits the road. Take a chunk of that
Speaker 1: dough and send it to the state capitals. Sendat to Frankfort,
Speaker 1: Senator Columbus, send it to Indianapolis, and say, Okay, here's
Speaker 1: an extra four billion dollars a year. What will you
Speaker 1: do with that? Report back to us what you're going
Speaker 1: to do. And I want that money in the hands
Speaker 1: of a ag Ramaswami. I got an extra four billion.
Speaker 1: How do we make the schools better? I think it
Speaker 1: begins with paying teachers more money. Money is a factor
Speaker 1: in almost everyone's life, and for a starting teacher to
Speaker 1: make forty four thousand dollars a year makes no sense
Speaker 1: to me at all, zero sense. It ought to be
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars a year for a good teacher.
Speaker 1: I ought to be one hundred thousand dollars a year
Speaker 1: for a good cop or a firefighter, paramedics. People like
Speaker 1: that should make serious money because they do serious things
Speaker 1: and this hall can change. And so when the money's
Speaker 1: returned to the states for public education or for infrastructure projects,
Speaker 1: I want a businessman like the ak Raamaswami accepting that money,
Speaker 1: having the right kind of cabinet officials hold them accountable
Speaker 1: and bring the principles of DOGE to the state of
Speaker 1: Ohio and say, okay, we're wasting. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: much waste in state government. I'm sure there's some, not
Speaker 1: like the Feds. Hell GAO tells me that every year
Speaker 1: there's five hundred billion dollars of the federal budget, which
Speaker 1: is about the federal budget is about four and a
Speaker 1: half trillion, so that's about ten percent of the federal
Speaker 1: budget is waste, fraud, and abuse. They don't know where
Speaker 1: the money went. It's gone and no one ever says
Speaker 1: what happened to this billions of dollars? Where are they?
Speaker 1: And secondly, the Department of Defense every year has a
Speaker 1: budget about nine hundred billion dollars. At least ten to
Speaker 1: fifteen percent of that is completely wasted. They can't pass
Speaker 1: an audit. How do you operate a business like Jeff
Speaker 1: Beckham a great trucker, How do you operate a business
Speaker 1: when you have no idea where the money's going. They
Speaker 1: have no idea if they've received the money, there's no
Speaker 1: audit going on. How do you conduct a business? That's
Speaker 1: the United States government. So when the Trumpster wants to
Speaker 1: change things, to say, will we have to have accountable results.
Speaker 1: We have to know where the money's going. You've got
Speaker 1: to get results. What results comes out of the Department
Speaker 1: of Education, for God's sakes in Washington, The answer is none.
Speaker 1: The longer it's in business the Morris cost with less results.
Speaker 1: We have one of the worst public education systems in
Speaker 1: the world, and we spend the most for it. Great
Speaker 1: bulk of kids come out of public schools like at
Speaker 1: CPS or Covington or Dayton. Danny from Dayton knows about this.
Speaker 1: Who can't read and write? There's no such thing as
Speaker 1: a failure. If you can't read and write as a
Speaker 1: third grader, that's a catastrophe. You might recall that Bush
Speaker 1: forty three had a guarantee that every fourth grader can read,
Speaker 1: and then nine to eleven happened, and we went on
Speaker 1: some other track trying to save the people of Iraq
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, which was a total debacle. And so I
Speaker 1: can't accept the fact that my home area, Ohio, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: Indiana continues the lag behind every other state. Didn't I
Speaker 1: know we were bad, but thirty eighth as far as
Speaker 1: inflow and outflow of population, and I would think Kentucky
Speaker 1: and Indiana is in the same category. It's not good.
Speaker 1: There's no reason for this. It can change. We don't
Speaker 1: have to accept the status quo as being bad. We
Speaker 1: can look toward the light of a better day. And
Speaker 1: so I have hopes in Washington now, and of course
Speaker 1: I have hopes in Ohio, and there is no hope
Speaker 1: in Kentucky with Governor Bashir. That's why I want Rob
Speaker 1: Sanders at Kenton County to run for governor and or
Speaker 1: senator and bring dose principles, hold government agencies accountable. You
Speaker 1: got to show up to work. I work with giants
Speaker 1: and broadcasting. We show up to work. Dave Keaton is
Speaker 1: here every day, Tony Bender's here every day. DJ Hodges
Speaker 1: here every day. Joe Frederick is here every day. Jack
Speaker 1: Crumbley's here every day. We have to get to work
Speaker 1: and just make sure we live. We leave to the
Speaker 1: next generation a better nation given to us, and I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not sure that's the case. Fact, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it isn't the case. So we need new leadership and
Speaker 1: we need to move forward. A let's continue with more.
Speaker 1: Coming up Plater will be moe Eger. Coming up later
Speaker 1: will be Wayne outen Root about columns he's written about
Speaker 1: what's happening in Washington with tariffs and with the judges.
Speaker 1: You know, I sleep with a judge every night. She's
Speaker 1: my wife. And the judicial insurrection is worse than I
Speaker 1: think it is. That judges somehow have given them the
Speaker 1: self the power to control foreign aid, foreign relations, diplomacy,
Speaker 1: military matters. There's some ridiculous number. I think it's a
Speaker 1: well over two hundred lawsuits have been filed, and there's
Speaker 1: been fifty to sixty injunctions issued by liberal federal judges,
Speaker 1: which should have not the weight to stop an entire
Speaker 1: government because of their opinions. We should have US Supreme
Speaker 1: Court and even that or many legal scholars who will
Speaker 1: tell you that the Constitution doesn't provide for judicial review.
Speaker 1: And beginning at eighteen oh three, Chief Justice Marshall gave
Speaker 1: it to the courts to determine these issues. It's been
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty two years since that ruling. But
Speaker 1: we can't have local district courts stopping the entire diplomacy
Speaker 1: and the military of the United States of America. When
Speaker 1: one could go down the hallway to a different district
Speaker 1: court and the same building and get a different ruling
Speaker 1: of a different injunction, that's chaos. And the person telling
Speaker 1: you that is not the great American it's Justice Elena Kagan,
Speaker 1: the liberal Democratic appointed US Supreme Court justice from Harvard.
Speaker 1: She said a few years ago, we've got to stop
Speaker 1: the idea that local district court judges can issue nationwide injunctions.
Speaker 1: That's not their jurisdiction. And Ohio, the Southern District is
Speaker 1: the last bottom half of Ohio. That's it. And we've
Speaker 1: gotten into this practice or policy. One of eight hundred
Speaker 1: district court judges coming up with their own thoughts about diplomacy,
Speaker 1: about terrorism, about the military, and about four and aid.
Speaker 1: They want their own policies. This is ridiculous. Let's continue
Speaker 1: with more the line becomes available, which it never does
Speaker 1: five and three, seven four, nine, seven thousand, Bill cunning
Speaker 1: In The Great American Reds. Baseball kicks off on Thursday,
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens with the Reds. They're picked
Speaker 1: to finish second or third. We have a great jockey,
Speaker 1: now we need a good thoroughbred. And Francona is a
Speaker 1: pretty good jockey, but he needs a big horse beneath him.
Speaker 1: And there's a sense if Stevenson comes back and Steers
Speaker 1: come back, maybe this is going to be a better
Speaker 1: year than past. And I think most pundits have the
Speaker 1: Reds winning eighty two to eighty three games this year.
Speaker 1: By the way, the over unders about seventy nine and
Speaker 1: a half. We'll see what happens. Toll fifty four Home
Speaker 1: your Reds. Here's Radio seven hundred WLW. The Cunningham The
Speaker 1: Great American of course, way Linen Route is in Las
Speaker 1: Vegas and the Walk of Fame. Root for America dot
Speaker 1: Com is the website, the TV show, the commentaries and
Speaker 1: so much more, and it was the site in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: I think maybe Bernie Sanders and AOC and others picked
Speaker 1: Las Vegas because of Wayne Allen Root a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago. Wayne Allen Root, Welcome again to the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. And first of all, before we talk about
Speaker 1: your stuff about Chief Justice Robertson Moore and also about
Speaker 1: federal judges on the payroll of China, et cetera. Well
Speaker 1: you did you take offense at what happened in Las
Speaker 1: Vegas a few days ago?
Speaker 4: Well? Yeah, I mean, Vegas has never been a really
Speaker 4: political town. It really hasn't. I mean, thank god, we
Speaker 4: just won Nevada for prison Trump for the first time.
Speaker 4: But it is not an overtally political town. And when
Speaker 4: I say that, what I mean is there's never been
Speaker 4: the you know, the swat raids by the FBI, they
Speaker 4: never came after people like me that. They never had
Speaker 4: the BLM riots that other cities had. We had a
Speaker 4: couple of little tiny protests with like fifty people marching
Speaker 4: down the strip. Nobody tried to set fire to a casino.
Speaker 4: They knew they they get met with crowbars and baseball backs.
Speaker 4: So they don't do things like that in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4: So we really haven't had a lot of political unrested,
Speaker 4: no antifond, no BLM here. It's pretty safe place to
Speaker 4: be a political, a politico as I am. I've never
Speaker 4: had one person in my whole life. Ever come up
Speaker 4: to me in Las Vegas and say anything other than,
Speaker 4: oh my god, way rude, I love you.
Speaker 6: That's it.
Speaker 4: Not one person that's ever said I hate you, I
Speaker 4: can't stand you. You're you're a you know this that
Speaker 4: a fascist? You know I Hitler with Trump. Never has
Speaker 4: anyone ever said a negative word to me in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4: So it was really surprising that we had this Tesla
Speaker 4: attack of a service center here and they tried to
Speaker 4: set you know that tried. They did set fire with
Speaker 4: Molotov cocktails, and they shot bullets into tesselas. It's the
Speaker 4: first time. And I'll tell you what I think it's
Speaker 4: a sign of It really hasn't have to do with
Speaker 4: Vegas as much as it's just everywhere. Now. I think
Speaker 4: we're headed for a real summer of burning. I really
Speaker 4: do think Democrats have lost their minds. They know that
Speaker 4: they can never win another election if we take away
Speaker 4: their money, and their money is from government in other words,
Speaker 4: USAID and the CIA is less Fund and all these
Speaker 4: other govit aincies they're all hiring, all the Democrats and
Speaker 4: all the liberals, and all the commedies. They give them jobs,
Speaker 4: they give them government contracts, they give them green energy deals,
Speaker 4: they give them overseas money, and then they loot it,
Speaker 4: steal it, launder it, send it back to the United
Speaker 4: States to be used for all these vicious groups like
Speaker 4: antiphon BLM. We just found out today Obama was literally
Speaker 4: stealing money at USAD. USAID was supposed to go foreign
Speaker 4: countries and instead it was being used to train antiphon
Speaker 4: BLM activists to cause violet riots in the United States.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you Bill, their money is being cut off
Speaker 4: by Donald Trump. And then you looked at Act Blue,
Speaker 4: that's their biggest fundraiser for every Democrat candidate. He's killing
Speaker 4: Act Blue. All of them are resigning because they know
Speaker 4: they committed money laundering and fraud. Because I've always argued
Speaker 4: Act Blue is all foreign donations, illegal foreign donations from
Speaker 4: China and the Mexican drug cartel. That's what's stealing our elections.
Speaker 4: So if Trump can cut them off of the knees,
Speaker 4: they've got no money anymore. So they're getting increasingly hysterical, panicked,
Speaker 4: and desperate, and it's turning to violence. And right now
Speaker 4: it's all aimed at Elon Muskin Tesla. But I think
Speaker 4: this summer as soon as he gets hot out in
Speaker 4: people's tempers flair. I believe you're gonna see a summer
Speaker 4: of you know BLM type riots, except this will be
Speaker 4: much worse because they got all the illegals who don't
Speaker 4: want to be deported, and all the people that have
Speaker 4: lost their jobs, you know, their lazy, non essential jobs
Speaker 4: in government. All these people are being mobilized and weaponized
Speaker 4: to go against us. So expect a very dangerous summer.
Speaker 4: That's what my gut says.
Speaker 1: In fact, I you know this is you know this march.
Speaker 1: Let's face it, we got some ugly times ahead. The
Speaker 1: federal judiciary has taken on roles no one ever thought.
Speaker 1: I didn't think a federal judge like Bolsburg would have
Speaker 1: some sort of foreign policy. You take the federal judges,
Speaker 1: take the mainstream media, to take the college campuses, Your
Speaker 1: alma mater, Columbia is completely lost its way. It's going
Speaker 1: to spread thither and fro. What Israel's doing and Gaza
Speaker 1: right now to Moss must be done because they have
Speaker 1: to win the war. You can't allow a Moss to
Speaker 1: exist after what they've done. In fact, most of the
Speaker 1: instrumentality of America is one hundred percent in favor of
Speaker 1: a Moss, one hundred percent in favor of the Democrats.
Speaker 1: And I watched George Clooney, who by the way, is
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati, course, and he's got this big Broadway show
Speaker 1: going on in which he plays Edward R. Murrow going
Speaker 1: after McCarthy, and he's going to use that as a
Speaker 1: platform to go after Trump because of anti democratic principles.
Speaker 1: And he's the guy in July that wrote the story
Speaker 1: that says Biden's got to get out of office when
Speaker 1: he was democratically selected by the Democrats during the primary season.
Speaker 1: So the Democrats don't like democracy. When Republicans win. When
Speaker 1: democrats win, that's democracy. When Republicans win, that's ani democratic.
Speaker 1: Give it to the agencies, give it to the federal
Speaker 1: judges to make decisions. That thing can't stand no.
Speaker 4: And I listen if you watch my TV show, and
Speaker 4: by the way, you can find all my TV and
Speaker 4: radio shows and everything I do it Roots for America
Speaker 4: dot Com. That's my command center and center and everything
Speaker 4: is there Root for America dot Com. But I see
Speaker 4: all the time that we've got it. Number one, Trump
Speaker 4: has got to get tough and he's got to arrest people.
Speaker 4: This has to be Trump two point zho. The same
Speaker 4: way that you know his victory was Trump two point zero,
Speaker 4: it's also got to be his mindset two point zero.
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, my gut says, we do not
Speaker 4: win this battle and save America and make America great
Speaker 4: again and make America prosperous again unless you start arresting
Speaker 4: the bad guys for treason. You know, like when you
Speaker 4: find out that Obama has stolen money and redirected foreign
Speaker 4: money to train radicals in the United States anti fab
Speaker 4: BLM to burn things down, then you go around Obama.
Speaker 4: When you do a forensic audit of Judge Boseburg, you
Speaker 4: will find that he's on the take, in my opinion,
Speaker 4: from China or the CCP or the Mexican drug cartel.
Speaker 4: These judges are dirty. You could see it, you could
Speaker 4: smell it, you can feel it in your gut. Nobody
Speaker 4: would be this desperate to say, let's turn around a
Speaker 4: plane filled with miscreants who have tattoos from the top
Speaker 4: of their body to the bottom of their toes, who
Speaker 4: kill people with shanks in prison. Nobody would send turn
Speaker 4: around a plane and send them home. Because we love
Speaker 4: them so much. Something's mentally wrong with these people. My
Speaker 4: opinion is a mixture of liberalism is a mental illness.
Speaker 4: So it's a mixture of insanity mental illness, and they're
Speaker 4: on the take. They're getting paid for the open border.
Speaker 4: So you gotta start arresting people. You gotta do forensic audits,
Speaker 4: you gotta get tough. And then my real idea, which
Speaker 4: I ended my America's Top Ten show yesterday morning. My
Speaker 4: number one story of the week was my idea which
Speaker 4: I texted to President Trump. I texted them on Thursday
Speaker 4: night and I said, listen, here's my opinion. I think
Speaker 4: you win with the judges by declaring war but not
Speaker 4: declaring war on the judges, declare a border war. This
Speaker 4: is no different than Ukraine. All the Democrats love Ukraine
Speaker 4: so much. We've been invaded by a foreign enemy out
Speaker 4: to destroy our country. So instead of just saying, okay,
Speaker 4: the Mexican drug gangs are you know, officially now they're
Speaker 4: designated as terrorists. All that's fine, but you didn't say
Speaker 4: you're going to war. Declare war. You got a Republican House,
Speaker 4: you got a Republican Senate. You better be able to
Speaker 4: get them hurted and be able to convince them to
Speaker 4: go along and back you, and declare the Great American
Speaker 4: Border War. That's what I call it, the Great American
Speaker 4: Border War. Declare a national security emergency and declare war.
Speaker 4: A war to secure the border, A war versus the
Speaker 4: cartels that you've named as terrorist organizations, a war versus
Speaker 4: Shinese fedinel producers, a war versus trans national gangs like
Speaker 4: MS thirteen and Trendy Aragua. You know, a war to
Speaker 4: get the we go Fart invaders out of our country.
Speaker 4: The mass importation is a war, and it's also a
Speaker 4: warlike humanitarian crisis in America. We're all going to starve
Speaker 4: because they're eating up all our money. Declara war versus
Speaker 4: drug and human trafficking, and declare war versus pedophiles. This
Speaker 4: is a dozen wars at once, so it's all under
Speaker 4: the umbrella of the Great American Border War. What's my point?
Speaker 4: Once you get Congress to agree and approve that this
Speaker 4: is now officially a war, Now you're commander in chief
Speaker 4: making war decisions. And no judge can ever and ever
Speaker 4: has been involved ever in the history of America in
Speaker 4: the second guessing or overruling a commander in chief or
Speaker 4: his generals in a time of war. This is the
Speaker 4: way to get around the judges without arresting them. Until
Speaker 4: you do your forensic audits and prove that they're on
Speaker 4: the take. Just ignore them because they won't matter anymore
Speaker 4: because we're at war and you're the commander in chief
Speaker 4: making war decisions. That's my good instinct.
Speaker 1: We got to talk about or in Canada, etc. But
Speaker 1: the judge in New York City's daughter made tens of
Speaker 1: millions of dollars raising money for democratic causes. And the
Speaker 1: daughter of this judge Bosburg is making serious money immigration
Speaker 1: rights groups. And his wife is the president of Planned Parenthood,
Speaker 1: some organization making one hundred and some thousand dollars. They're
Speaker 1: all political activists on the left. And you would hope,
Speaker 1: you would hope that Justice John Roberts would be a
Speaker 1: conservative judge. That's turned out to be that way at all.
Speaker 1: I have little faith and Judge John Roberts to do
Speaker 1: what's right. I think the four votes they had, one
Speaker 1: of them, I think it was a leaders that I
Speaker 1: can't believe what we're saying today about requiring the president
Speaker 1: to pay billions of dollars to usaid workers or to
Speaker 1: USA organizations when it's waste, fraud, and abuse. That's the purpose.
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about tariffs, but you've
Speaker 1: got a great column up under March the thirteenth. Here's
Speaker 1: why Trump's tariffs will succeed. America will win my friends
Speaker 1: in Canada by golfing buddies in Canada. That's not the
Speaker 1: case that Canada is going to bring America to heel
Speaker 1: because of the teriffs. What is Dwayne alerout say.
Speaker 4: I think that Canada is like a little pit squeak,
Speaker 4: like a little chihuahua, and it's facing off with a
Speaker 4: German shepherd, and Canada actually delusional. They have no clue,
Speaker 4: you know, just like I used to have. By the way,
Speaker 4: I used to have a chihuahua and a German shepherd,
Speaker 4: and the chihuahua thought he was tougher than the German shepherd,
Speaker 4: and for nine long years he bought the German shepherd around.
Speaker 4: When the chihuahua jumped on the bed, I swear to
Speaker 4: that the German shepherd sell off the bed he was
Speaker 4: so scared. But in year number ten, the chihuahua suddenly
Speaker 4: decided to eat food out of the German shepherd's bowl,
Speaker 4: and the German shepherd grabbed him and threw him across
Speaker 4: the room and threw him against the wall. And the
Speaker 4: poor chihuahua, who I love to by the way, I
Speaker 4: didn't like this, but it happened. The German shepherd pound
Speaker 4: him against the wall, and the chihuahua brain damage and
Speaker 4: he was never the same again the rest of his life.
Speaker 4: He walked like a drunk and he lived another two
Speaker 4: years like a brain dead person. So I'm telling you
Speaker 4: Canada thinks they're the chihuahua and they're gonna beat up
Speaker 4: the German shepherd. And they don't understand. We got three
Speaker 4: forty million people, you know, and if account illegals, we
Speaker 4: probably get three hundred and fifty three or sixty million people.
Speaker 4: And they've got their little pitsqueak country with like thirty
Speaker 4: nine million people. They're not gonna beat us in the
Speaker 4: trade war. If we buy everything they've got, we buy
Speaker 4: everything China's got, We buy everything Mexico's got. So we
Speaker 4: are the customer. As my grandfather always said, the customer
Speaker 4: is always right, and if the customer is wrong, refer
Speaker 4: back to World number one. The customer always wins. We
Speaker 4: are the world's biggest customer. Our middle class buys everything
Speaker 4: in the world from everyone. They cannot hold out against us.
Speaker 4: Trump knows it. Trump understands what you and me understand. Bill.
Speaker 4: They're not gonna win. The world can huff and puff
Speaker 4: and threaten to blow our house down, and it's all
Speaker 4: just delusion. In the end, we will win. Whether it's
Speaker 4: a week fan now, a month and now at day
Speaker 4: fin now, or a year fan now, we will win.
Speaker 4: When they realize they're going to start to death. Trump
Speaker 4: is right, and we will win the trade wars.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's what the left wants. In other words,
Speaker 1: the left's opinion of America is at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the Portal Act. They do not like this country. They
Speaker 1: don't like that they think it was land stolen from
Speaker 1: the Indians. In fact, Columbia University we went to school
Speaker 1: is on Indigenous lands. I thought we paid for that.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, the left does not want America to win.
Speaker 1: And so if America loses, the left feels good. If America,
Speaker 1: if America wins, the left feels bad. And so I
Speaker 1: don't know, but we have a federal judge. Now it's
Speaker 1: going to take over American foreign policy and tariffs named
Speaker 1: Boseburg and maybe John Roberts with him. But the fact
Speaker 1: that you have a list here of the eight here
Speaker 1: are the only possibilities that come out of these trade tariffs.
Speaker 1: One stopped buying from China and the rest of the world.
Speaker 1: Their economies collapses. China, the restorant, eventually gives in. They survive,
Speaker 1: but we win. Why doesn't the Chinese? The Chinese and
Speaker 1: the Canadians and the Mexicans now understand that, in fact,
Speaker 1: what's happening now. A lot of the detention camps and
Speaker 1: Texas are closing, they don't have enough business. Illegals are
Speaker 1: quit coming in because Trump succeeded. But the media doesn't
Speaker 1: cover it, and so explain how this pay. Let's say
Speaker 1: you and I get back together before a year goes by,
Speaker 1: hopefully it's once a month or more about a year
Speaker 1: from now, what would the tariffur look like if we
Speaker 1: stay with.
Speaker 4: Look, you know, in my opinion, this gives us a
Speaker 4: chance to reduce our national deficit and our national probably
Speaker 4: get rid of our national deficits, and dramatically reduce our
Speaker 4: national debt. It gives us a chance to give the
Speaker 4: American people a gigantic tax cut. It gives Trump a chance,
Speaker 4: if he so chooses, if there's enough money in the tariffs,
Speaker 4: it gives them a chance to actually get rid of
Speaker 4: the income taxes, which he's talked about. I've talked about
Speaker 4: it for years. I've recommended it to him. The state
Speaker 4: of Nevada is growing like crazy. You know, every minute,
Speaker 4: half of California's moving here. And we have zero income taxes.
Speaker 4: That's why everyone's moving here. Texas has zero income taxes.
Speaker 4: Florida has zero income taxes. Tennessee, Nashville's one of the
Speaker 4: hottest cities in America. They have zero income taxes. People
Speaker 4: move to places with lower or zero taxes, And I'd
Speaker 4: like to see America set up a system like Texas,
Speaker 4: Florida and Nevada and Tennessee and have zero income tax
Speaker 4: and you only pay a sales tax plus tariffs from
Speaker 4: other countries. So this gives the middle class a chance
Speaker 4: to change their lives dramatically and change the American economy
Speaker 4: and make us prosperous again. I think a year for now,
Speaker 4: every stock that everyone's panicking about will be at all
Speaker 4: time highs. I think the market will be at all
Speaker 4: time high. Think TESTA will be at all time high.
Speaker 4: I think all the big tech stocks will be at
Speaker 4: all time high. I think gold will still be at
Speaker 4: all time high. I think that crypto and bitcoy will
Speaker 4: be at all time high. And I think that we've
Speaker 4: got a chance here to make America prosperous again because
Speaker 4: of tariffs, which will pay off a lot of the debt,
Speaker 4: a lot of the deficit, if not all of it,
Speaker 4: and maybe a lot of our taxes too. Are all
Speaker 4: of them, so I love the tariffs. It's just going
Speaker 4: to be a little short term pain to achieve long
Speaker 4: term fantastic gain. No pain, no gain, you know.
Speaker 1: One of the cries of the radical leftists a threat
Speaker 1: to democracy. Trump received a strong mandate from the American
Speaker 1: voters in a democracy that resolved to rest control of
Speaker 1: the government from the deep state. The deep state, in turn,
Speaker 1: what they've done is to fall back on this last
Speaker 1: line of defense, which is the courts. Every federal employee
Speaker 1: in the executive branch of government works for the president.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine Trump telling the judges who to hire
Speaker 1: and who to fire their employees. I can't imagine that
Speaker 1: Trump telling congressional leaders who in their staff they got
Speaker 1: to fire and hire. But Article two clearly states that
Speaker 1: the president is the chief executive officer of the country
Speaker 1: and that's it. And so they fall back on the bureaucracy,
Speaker 1: the deep state, which is forever. And secondly, if that fails,
Speaker 1: to go to the court system and they win there.
Speaker 1: But way, we got a minute remaining. I can't believe
Speaker 1: our time flies by quickly. But to all your stuff
Speaker 1: is at root for America dot com. We've not touched
Speaker 1: yet Chief Justice John Roberts, We've not touched what's happening
Speaker 1: with the judicial system. But way on a route we
Speaker 1: got to go and next time, wait on the route
Speaker 1: introduces Senator Ernie Sanders. That's when hell's going to freeze over.
Speaker 4: I hope to be introducing President Trump. By the way,
Speaker 4: and April eleventh in Palm Beach is the Lincoln Day
Speaker 4: gall with the biggest one in the country, and I'm
Speaker 4: the MC. They're flying me down as the Master's ceremonies
Speaker 4: and I'm hoping to be introducing President Trump at all
Speaker 4: the top celebrities in the Trump administration. So it's going
Speaker 4: to be a great night. Friday, April eleventh in Palm Beach,
Speaker 4: and I look forward to it. Hey, Bill, it's Rootfroamerica
Speaker 4: dot Com. All my TV shows, all my radio shows,
Speaker 4: all my books, all my newspaper columns, all my commentaries,
Speaker 4: it's all there. And I always appreciate you. Thank you
Speaker 4: for giving me a great platform, my friend.
Speaker 5: Love you, God bless you. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Wayne Allen rooton in Las Vegas. And it's kind of
Speaker 1: odd that end of democracy. We elect our leaders, the House,
Speaker 1: the Senate, the president, and that's undemocratic. When we elect
Speaker 1: leaders they disagree with, that's undemocratic. And all Trump's trying
Speaker 1: to do is to return power back to the people
Speaker 1: who put leaders in charge and not the deep state.
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, Live on News Radio seven hundred WL me,
Speaker 1: you don't have.
Speaker 4: To worry about that.
Speaker 7: I'm not going to pull Cunningham and you know, take

Speaker 1: Chris Mack, you coach my wife at Mountain under Name
Speaker 1: High School. What they were looking for a assistant freshman
Speaker 1: basketball coach, and Chris Mack took the job. Penny interviewed
Speaker 1: him and the rest is history. But seg, we have
Speaker 1: Miami Road, He's got champions, will and then what's going on?
Speaker 1: Explain this?
Speaker 5: Will he the Stoot Reporters approach service, every local Thamestar
Speaker 5: Heating and air conditioning dealers, Thamestar Quality you can feel

Speaker 5: Penn State skulkill As they captured the twenty twenty five
Speaker 5: USCAA Men's Division two National Championship, and they got the
Speaker 5: trophy right below New York fifty three to fifty two.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about the last couple of seconds,
Speaker 1: but segment introduced the coach. I want to talk to him.
Speaker 5: Coach Michael Piott is here along with three stars of
Speaker 5: the team hit It.
Speaker 1: Coach Piott, tell me NI own money. These players around
Speaker 1: me look pretty expensive. Can you give me some approximate
Speaker 1: within one thousand dollars either way, how much these three
Speaker 1: players are making to win the National titler to Miami Hamilton.
Speaker 8: We'll probably get him lunchure on the way back to
Speaker 8: Hamilton and gets it is is he's man. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: that'll work out pretty good for him. But thanks for
Speaker 8: having us, you know, a long time listener and glad
Speaker 8: to be here. And we are very fortunate, you know.
Speaker 8: We I've been in Miami for five years and the
Speaker 8: first we lost to COVID, But the last four years
Speaker 8: we made four consecutive trips of the National Tournament. Great
Speaker 8: this year we're able to come home the National Championship
Speaker 8: trophy and.
Speaker 1: It's right there right here.
Speaker 5: Thanks plainly.
Speaker 1: What happened in the last game, you had a player up
Speaker 1: against the wall. It was he was beating blooded, he
Speaker 1: was bruised and needed two acls. His shoulders were hurting him,
Speaker 1: he was in deep trouble. Set the scene for the
Speaker 1: last few seconds of the big game.
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, we got down eleven in the
Speaker 8: first half, and we cut the one at half and
Speaker 8: we thought we were in pretty big shape. And then
Speaker 8: we'd started the second half pretty horrible and got down
Speaker 8: eleven again, chipped away, chipped away, took the league with
Speaker 8: three minutes to go. Oh, and Shade Old, who's in
Speaker 8: the studio with us, now, introduced our guys. In the
Speaker 8: second Calmon went up there and sank two free throw
Speaker 8: to put us up three.
Speaker 5: Nothing was ned.
Speaker 8: Was sixteen seconds to go and we hung on to
Speaker 8: win the national championship.
Speaker 1: And then it was these three great players. Now we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about the crucial moment that was the
Speaker 1: difference between defeat and victory.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So in studio we have our senior Michael Keahan, who
Speaker 8: played for Joe Schoenfeld at Elder High School. Elder Michael's
Speaker 8: a four year starter, played one hundred and seventeen games
Speaker 8: for US and ended up being a second team All
Speaker 8: American this year. So what a great quer he had
Speaker 8: for US, and we're really going to miss four years.
Speaker 1: Get up to the microphone there. Would you rather play
Speaker 1: for Elder or Miami?
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a tough question. Honestly, I won a national
Speaker 5: championship with Miami, so I can't say that I would
Speaker 5: rather play for Elder. But I had a great four
Speaker 5: year which it was a pretty good coach one. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's the best.
Speaker 1: He's a savior man. You know that, yes, sir, Now,
Speaker 1: and introduce you to the other two gentlemen.
Speaker 8: To my right, I have Corey Davis from Mason High School.
Speaker 8: Cory's a junior and he was first team All American
Speaker 8: for US and he was the MVP of the national tournament.
Speaker 1: All right, come on up there now. You told me
Speaker 1: off the air, do you listen to talk Rady? You
Speaker 1: said no, but you said your great great great grandfather
Speaker 1: does Is that correct? I don't know if it's that
Speaker 1: many greats, but yeah, my grandfather what's his name, Mike Rice?
Speaker 1: Mike Rice is listening now? Perhaps, Ah, So did he
Speaker 1: teach you anything about life? About basketball, about girls? What
Speaker 1: did he teach you? Tell me a lot about life,
Speaker 1: a lot about fishing.
Speaker 5: So I like fishing. I like fishing.
Speaker 1: Now talk about this is the player that hit the
Speaker 1: Introduce this player.
Speaker 8: Yes, Shaden Olden is a junior from Troy High School
Speaker 8: and hit the two freezer. Really had a good year
Speaker 8: for us, averaged all three these guys are each double
Speaker 8: figures for US. And uh, you know the one thing
Speaker 8: I liked about our guys. We said all year long.
Speaker 8: Don't get too high, don't get too low, even keel,
Speaker 8: and we kept plugging away, plugging away, and uh I
Speaker 8: had too good instructions for Shane when he got foult,
Speaker 8: I said to make them.
Speaker 1: So I thought that was good, said make them leave
Speaker 1: it alone, explaining to Shane what happened, explaining set the scene,
Speaker 1: the pressure, the drama of the excitement.
Speaker 9: UH all thought to you, we kind of played a
Speaker 9: thing called beat the pro does. Everybody have to make
Speaker 9: a free throw? We got to get to twenty one
Speaker 9: before the pro does. Who's the pro coach? Imaginary shooting? Well,
Speaker 9: every free throw you make, you get a point. The
Speaker 9: maginary U punt. The pro gets two points on a miss.
Speaker 9: And so we do us at the end of practice
Speaker 9: all the time. And I might be a practice next year.
Speaker 9: I might be up next year teaching these guys how.
Speaker 5: To make throws.
Speaker 1: We'd love it. Explain it further. Who what team you're playing?
Speaker 5: Penn State? You're playing State in the championship.
Speaker 9: And we actually had a shuit around before we're down
Speaker 9: to the pro twenty to nine. I actually came back,
Speaker 9: so whole time we were just saying beat the Pro
Speaker 9: down eleven, beat the pro, beat the pro, just face adversity,
Speaker 9: and they got to.
Speaker 1: It, and you something, did hit the medal at all
Speaker 1: when they're all chords. They stroked them hit the net
Speaker 1: and then they had to play defense thirteen more seconds
Speaker 1: or so.
Speaker 9: Yes, so we actually found with three seconds. I believe
Speaker 9: that three. That's a good move. Coach, yep, don't let
Speaker 9: them hit a three. Yeah, take your risk and them
Speaker 9: hitting two and see what happened.
Speaker 8: And they hit a two at the buzzer and we
Speaker 8: win fifty three fifty two. So they thought their shot
Speaker 8: was a three, but the guy's foot was inside the line,
Speaker 8: which it was. And uh so they were happy for
Speaker 8: a split second. And as I said, we were happy
Speaker 8: for a very long time. So, you know, nice to
Speaker 8: bring home the national.
Speaker 1: Can you say about this save your opening? Maybe anything
Speaker 1: you can say about you having the planet coming to
Speaker 1: pick you up to.
Speaker 5: Get you down a victory parkway.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they want a fifty eight year old.
Speaker 8: I'm pretty old and I'm pretty happy where I am,
Speaker 8: and Miami versus been really good to me.
Speaker 1: But you could be if he doubled page eight million
Speaker 1: dollars a year, would you go I probably work it
Speaker 1: out for that, no doubt about it. You know, Sean
Speaker 1: Miller work is under a lot of hatred right now
Speaker 1: from Xavier for and not keeping his word in a sense,
Speaker 1: what do you say as a coach in college? What
Speaker 1: about colleague coaches doubling their money, giving all the nil
Speaker 1: money in the world, plus use of private jets. He
Speaker 1: could not turn it down. And Sean Miller consider a friend.
Speaker 8: They could walk their practice quite a bit when he's
Speaker 8: in sacred as which I'm very very good to me,
Speaker 8: and leave me tickets for games.
Speaker 1: I'm known in front.
Speaker 5: So you can look these.
Speaker 1: Three kids in the eye and say, look, I'm leaving.
Speaker 1: I'm getting paid eight million dollars private jets and eight
Speaker 1: billion and no money. You could tell these kids I'm leaving.
Speaker 1: I think they would understand that.
Speaker 5: Would you understand? Would you understand?
Speaker 6: Would you need to be coming with him?
Speaker 5: You might go with him, get some no money for
Speaker 5: these boys, give me some sports and make it fast.
Speaker 5: Well you look course at at here said there's a
Speaker 5: mutual interest obviously with Chris Mack and coming back with Xavier.
Speaker 1: You like Chris Mack, coach love Chris Mack. You know
Speaker 1: who hired his first job as my wife. I didn't
Speaker 1: not till today. He was looking for her job as
Speaker 1: a coach, and Penny interviewed him. She was the chair
Speaker 1: of the Border Mountain of the Name High School and
Speaker 1: the only position they had was an assistant freshman girls
Speaker 1: basketball coach. Everyone's got to start somewhere. Chris said, I'll

Speaker 1: Great America? Of course in sports, lot's going on Red's
Speaker 1: opening day, maybe the biggest of all time. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be on Thursday, and then Bengals at the draft coming up.
Speaker 1: There's some video of our new wide receivers with their

Speaker 1: we have the tournament still going on and so much more.
Speaker 1: But Moeger, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And
Speaker 1: first of them, let's break it down. We have Red
Speaker 1: number one Bengals number two, Bearcat football number three, Bearcat
Speaker 1: basketball number four, Xavier basketball number five, and deer Park
Speaker 1: Volleyball number six. Which of those six are in deep trouble?
Speaker 1: Everywhere I look, I see opportunities, but I have hope
Speaker 1: for the Reds. Give me a full report.
Speaker 7: Well, I can't speak to deer Park. You're more of
Speaker 7: an expert on that than I am. I don't think
Speaker 7: the Bengals are in I don't think the Bengals are
Speaker 7: in deep trouble, but they have a very important draft
Speaker 7: looming and a recent track record of not drafting very well,
Speaker 7: specifically on the defensive side of the ball. I think
Speaker 7: the Reds have a lot of promise. I think they
Speaker 7: should have very good starting pitching. I think we're all
Speaker 7: concerned whether about whether or not this team is going
Speaker 7: to hit, and starting the season without Tyler Stevenson and
Speaker 7: Spencer Steer adds to those concerns. You see, basketball is
Speaker 7: facing a crossroads season in twenty twenty five and twenty
Speaker 7: twenty six for Wes Miller. The Bearcats football team is
Speaker 7: facing a huge season for Scott Sadderfield in the Big twelve,
Speaker 7: and it's a really critical time for Xavier basketball, not
Speaker 7: just because they've lost a very good coach, but because
Speaker 7: the transfer portal opened up the same day they lose
Speaker 7: their coach. Which, as much as I am a fan
Speaker 7: of players being allowed to come and go as they please,
Speaker 7: I think it's ridiculous to have the portal open while
Speaker 7: the season is ongoing, and so time is of the essence.
Speaker 7: You've got to hire a new coach who's got to
Speaker 7: get right to work filling the roster, maybe recruiting some
Speaker 7: Navier players from this past season. So I think there's
Speaker 7: hope for all of them, but all of them are
Speaker 7: facing significant questions either heading into their season or coming
Speaker 7: out of the most recently completed season.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about your Cincinnati Reds. I know the Xavier faithful.
Speaker 1: Tony Bender is a great Xavier fan. He's got the
Speaker 1: playing detailed numbers of private jets flying all over Naples
Speaker 1: to Charleston to Cincinnati. We'll leave that off to the
Speaker 1: side for a moment. Terry Francona, I briefly remember him
Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty seven. He was a first base mins
Speaker 1: to speak, hit like two twenty or something. But Terry
Speaker 1: Francona has been manager of the year three times. He's
Speaker 1: been two World Series rings, which are pretty good. And
Speaker 1: he's also managed something in the range of eleven postseason games,
Speaker 1: and his manager a record is about fifty four percent.
Speaker 1: He's managed about three thousand, six hundred games, which is
Speaker 1: pretty good. And he also was the coach of Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's the one time the Goat and Basketball played for
Speaker 1: the Barons, it was Terry Francona giving him the ins
Speaker 1: and outs of basketball. Plus he has great feelings for
Speaker 1: Pete Rose. So as far as Terry Francona is concerned,
Speaker 1: the Reds could not have made a better high I
Speaker 1: think the Hall of Famer Marty Bredman was close to that.
Speaker 1: Of course, Terry Francona is going to be a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer too. But why does a manager make that
Speaker 1: much difference in baseball as opposed to other sports, if.
Speaker 7: Any Well, I think if the talent is mediocre, and
Speaker 7: if the talent is not very good, I think the
Speaker 7: manager makes no difference whatsoever. You know, we've seen, unfortunately
Speaker 7: over the last few decades the Reds put on the
Speaker 7: field a lot are really bad teams. I'm not sure
Speaker 7: anybody could have achieved significantly better results. I think when
Speaker 7: you have a team with promise, a team that does
Speaker 7: have some talent, and I think a team that has
Speaker 7: some young talent, I think there's something about a great
Speaker 7: leader's ability to help those players get the most out
Speaker 7: of that talent, to communicate really well with those players,
Speaker 7: and I also think helped the team win in the margins.
Speaker 7: If you were to go back to last season, if
Speaker 7: you and I have talked about this, the Rats were
Speaker 7: really bad in one run game. Is that solely because
Speaker 7: of David Bell? Absolutely not, But could a handful of
Speaker 7: decisions be made by the manager that swings some of
Speaker 7: those games in the other direction. I think the answer
Speaker 7: is yes. I also think there's a manager's ability to
Speaker 7: have the sort of gravitas that Terry Francona has because
Speaker 7: of where he's been and what he's done, and.
Speaker 4: Maybe use that to hold.
Speaker 7: Players a little bit more accountable. That's been the word
Speaker 7: that has been used from day one, from that first
Speaker 7: day in October when we found out that Terry Francona
Speaker 7: is going to manage this team accountable? Accountability? Is Terry
Speaker 7: Francona going to hold players accountable when they make some
Speaker 7: of the repeating mistakes we saw last year. Is Terry
Speaker 7: francon going to have a shorter leash with some guys
Speaker 7: when they don't perform. Is Terry Francona is going to
Speaker 7: have the ability to say to the front office, this
Speaker 7: is how I want things done, as opposed vice versa.
Speaker 7: I'm really bullish on what a Hall of Fame manager
Speaker 7: like this could accomplish with this team. But I think
Speaker 7: that's mainly because I think Terry Francona really has something
Speaker 7: to work with. I think he's got a good starting staff.
Speaker 7: And while I certainly do wonder if this team is
Speaker 7: going to score it enough, I think there are some
Speaker 7: good enough players on this team that a combination of talent, luck,
Speaker 7: and really good leadership could yield really good results.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you have a manager that's managed to
Speaker 1: Phillies the Red Sox the two World Series. Poppy was there,
Speaker 1: and of course he was pretty good. You got the
Speaker 1: Indians and the Guardians and man and that now the Reds.
Speaker 1: He's got forty four postseason wins, seventh all time. And
Speaker 1: one of my questions might be closer by committee because
Speaker 1: Diaz as allegedly I think he's mad. He's going to
Speaker 1: start on the DA he thinks his hamstring is better
Speaker 1: than it is. So come Thursday afternoon, about seven o'clock
Speaker 1: in the evening, if the scores two to one and
Speaker 1: the Reds are winning and it's the ninth inning, who
Speaker 1: does Terry francona call out of the bullpen?
Speaker 7: Well, I think that's one of the most interesting questions
Speaker 7: about this team, right because ordinarily you would expect it
Speaker 7: to be Alexis Dz. But let's start with him. Not
Speaker 7: only does Alexis Dz, not only is he currently dealing
Speaker 7: with a hamstring issue, he wasn't extraordinarily effective during spring training,
Speaker 7: and so I think one of the questions about this
Speaker 7: team moving forward.
Speaker 4: Is going to be.
Speaker 7: How good is Alexis d As in whatever role he
Speaker 7: has put in, whether he is closing out games, whether
Speaker 7: he is pitching in high leverage situations at the seventh
Speaker 7: or eighth inning, how effective is he? And is he
Speaker 7: going to be handed the job of closer once he
Speaker 7: comes back In the absence of him, I think the
Speaker 7: two names to pay attention to most closely are Taylor,
Speaker 7: who has closed games before, and Scott Barlow, who has
Speaker 7: closed games before. Those were two late offseason pickups by
Speaker 7: Nick kraw that I think are really really good additions.
Speaker 7: But you know, to me, you're talking about Terry Francona.
Speaker 7: I think in the game itself, that's where a manager
Speaker 7: has the biggest impact, the handling of a bullpen, choosing
Speaker 7: which pitchers to use against a certain hitter or in
Speaker 7: a certain situation. And to a degree, Terry Francona will
Speaker 7: start the season a little bit handicapped because he's not
Speaker 7: going to have Alexis Diaz. Fortunately, I do think there
Speaker 7: are some other options. But I also believe, and I
Speaker 7: read this, I believe from C. Frent Rose Brands in
Speaker 7: the Athletic I think you could have made the argument
Speaker 7: that some of the Reds better relief options will actually
Speaker 7: start the season in Louisville, because I think they have
Speaker 7: some really good arms down there. I think they chose
Speaker 7: for experience and you know, maybe more of a mismash
Speaker 7: of guys than they did some of the higher end
Speaker 7: arms in the minor leagues. But getting back to your
Speaker 7: original question, I would look for Taylor Rodgers to get
Speaker 7: a chance to close in games. I would look at
Speaker 7: Scott Barlowe as having an ability having the opportunity to
Speaker 7: close in games as well.
Speaker 1: You know, I like historical references. You might recall in
Speaker 1: the late nineteen sixties Dave Bristol was a manager and
Speaker 1: the Reds brought in a young guy named Sparky Anderson
Speaker 1: went to the World Series in seventy seventy two, one
Speaker 1: at All in seventy five, seventy six. Jump at about
Speaker 1: twenty years Loup Panela. After four or five years of
Speaker 1: Pete Rose and all that drama at finished second, like
Speaker 1: four or five years in a row, here comes a
Speaker 1: brand new manager, Lou Panella. Wire to wire World Series.
Speaker 1: Here we are about what thirty five years later, and
Speaker 1: there's a sense this club's got got it in gear,
Speaker 1: but they're spinning in the mud, and so much like
Speaker 1: Sparky New Manager World Series, Loup Panello, New Manager World Series.
Speaker 1: How about Terry Francota, New New Manager World Series? How
Speaker 1: about that historical analysis?
Speaker 7: Well, I think there is a track record you mentioned
Speaker 7: Lou Panella. As much as it's been frustrating that the
Speaker 7: Reds haven't won a World Series or appeared in one
Speaker 7: in three and a half decades, when they have in
Speaker 7: the past brought in an experienced manager with Bonaphis who
Speaker 7: has managed in the postseason before. That manager has managed
Speaker 7: the Reds in the postseason. You know, Luke Panella had
Speaker 7: never managed in the postseason with the New York Yankees, right,
Speaker 7: but he had had some success. Comes to Cincinnati, takes
Speaker 7: the team to the World Series, and they win it.
Speaker 7: They hired Davy Johnson, who obviously managed the New York
Speaker 7: Mets in the World Series in nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 4: He was the last.
Speaker 7: Manager to win in the postseason. With the Reds, they
Speaker 7: hired Dusty Baker. Dusty had been in the postseason, had
Speaker 7: been in the World Series with the San Francisco Giants,
Speaker 7: and come very close to getting to the World Series
Speaker 7: with the Chicago Cubs. Say which the one about Dusty
Speaker 7: Dusty managed the Reds in the postseason three times. Is
Speaker 7: the hiring of the manager the only reason why those
Speaker 7: teams had success, of course not, but in all three
Speaker 7: cases they brought in someone who had previous experience, and
Speaker 7: in the cases that two of those guys had managed
Speaker 7: the postseason before. If you look at some of the
Speaker 7: other hires Jerry Narren, Dave Miley, Brian Price, David Bell,
Speaker 7: you know some of those guys better than others. But
Speaker 7: you know, David Bella never managed before. Brian Price had
Speaker 7: never managed before. Dave Miley had never managed the major
Speaker 7: league level before. Bob Boone, to the best of my recollection,
Speaker 7: had never managed before. So is does that guarantee that
Speaker 7: Terry Francona is going to manage the Reds in the postseason?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: But do you want to use history as.
Speaker 7: A guide when they have hired experience managers? Those managers
Speaker 7: have at least managed the Reds and been in the dugout.
Speaker 4: For the postseason.
Speaker 1: May not have you on mitween now and Opening Day afterwards.
Speaker 1: Mo I'm gonna write it down for the analyst of history.
Speaker 1: Give me the final record for the Cincinnati Reds in
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, and you will be held to account.
Speaker 7: I think the Reds are gonna go eighty three and
Speaker 7: seventy nine, which is a six game improvement from last year.
Speaker 7: I think the upside of this team. I don't think
Speaker 7: there's a team in the National League Central that has
Speaker 7: a wider variance of possibility because I do genuinely believe
Speaker 7: that if a handful of players outperform what they're projected
Speaker 7: to do offensively, and if Matt McClain can play one
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty games, and if Tyler Stevenson can catch
Speaker 7: it or at least play in one hundred and thirty games,
Speaker 7: and if Christian and Carnassi on Strand can stay healthy
Speaker 7: and hit, you know, in excess of twenty five homers.
Speaker 7: I think there's a world where the Reds win ninety
Speaker 7: games and ninety games ninety wins, I think will take
Speaker 7: the National League Central. I also think there's a world
Speaker 7: where once again, a lot of the young starting pitchers,
Speaker 7: they're not even that young anymore. Nicolodolo is twenty seven
Speaker 7: years old, Hunter Green is about to start a sports
Speaker 7: big league season. Those guys deal with injuries. Again, the
Speaker 7: bullpen is not as good as we hope. A lot
Speaker 7: of guys don't hit, and injuries are an issue, and
Speaker 7: their depth gets tested and they fail that test. I
Speaker 7: think there's a world where they lose ninety games. But
Speaker 7: I think number one, they'll be better in one run
Speaker 7: games this year. Number two, I think their starting staff
Speaker 7: has a chance to be a major asset, and they
Speaker 7: do have a lot of position players with upside. I
Speaker 7: think they'll be five or six games better than they
Speaker 7: were last season. I don't really think they're going to
Speaker 7: hit enough to win eighty nine ninety ninety one games,
Speaker 7: and so I'll settle on eighty three wins and hope
Speaker 7: that they exceed that with room despair.
Speaker 1: Lastly, Barry Larkin gave an interview in what he said
Speaker 1: there's a new sheriff in town. When he was a
Speaker 1: star player in eighty seven, eighty eight, eighty nine, that
Speaker 1: was a crisis, as you may recall, with Pete Rose
Speaker 1: always finishing second.
Speaker 5: Eighty nine was a terrible year.
Speaker 1: And he said, as soon as lou Panela walked into
Speaker 1: the locker room, I think they were in Tampa, there
Speaker 1: might have been in Planned City and said, hey, there's
Speaker 1: a new sheriff in town. It was like the doors
Speaker 1: that were flown wide open. Fresh air came in. Terry
Speaker 1: Francona is going to be a breath of fresh air,
Speaker 1: and we just pray to God this team picks up.
Speaker 5: We have about a minute remaining.
Speaker 1: I can't think of college basketball and now with all
Speaker 1: the March games going on in worse shape than it
Speaker 1: is right now, I can't identify with the players. I
Speaker 1: don't know who's gonna play for Xavier next year, who's
Speaker 1: gonna play for UC Wes Miller, who's going to play
Speaker 1: for Kentucky.
Speaker 5: Nobody knows.
Speaker 1: Nil is the wild Wild West, in which the players
Speaker 1: often make more money than the coaches. A new sheriff
Speaker 1: needs to come to NCAA basketball because this thing's a
Speaker 1: total mess. Would you agree?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 7: I think this era of college basketball is awesome. Finally
Speaker 7: the labor is getting compensated and in many cases getting
Speaker 7: their market value. I think there are some tweaks. I
Speaker 7: think it's ridiculous to have the transfer portal already open
Speaker 7: while you have the Sweet sixteen, Elite eight, and Final
Speaker 7: Four going on.
Speaker 4: There's a very, very.
Speaker 7: Easy solution to all this. Will he make the players
Speaker 7: on contracts Now, if a player signs a four year contract,
Speaker 7: he's beholden to that school for four years. A player
Speaker 7: may sign a two year contract, player may sign a
Speaker 7: one year contract. That's the solution. I think what it
Speaker 7: has done. Number One, players are staying in college longer.
Speaker 7: That's good for the sport, that's good for the players.
Speaker 7: Number Two, you can get things turned around very quickly.
Speaker 7: Whoever the new head coach at Zager is, and certainly
Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of validity to the idea
Speaker 7: that it should be Chris Mack. We don't do three
Speaker 7: four year plans anymore. Look at Tat Kelsey at the
Speaker 7: University of Louisville and the success they.
Speaker 2: Had in year one there.
Speaker 5: Look at Mark Pope.
Speaker 7: At the University of Kentucky with basically a brand new team.
Speaker 7: You can get turned around in a hurry, and the
Speaker 7: players have rights and they're getting paid now, and the
Speaker 7: quality of play on the floor. I think this season
Speaker 7: was exceptional. I hear this all the time. You absolutely
Speaker 7: miss me with the idea that this era of college
Speaker 7: basketball is bad. I think this era of college basketball
Speaker 7: is way, way, way overdue.
Speaker 1: Well, they are young men, they're adults. And I love
Speaker 1: the idea that you just expressed of signing a contract
Speaker 1: which isn'enforceable. Of course, when coaches signed contracts, largely they're
Speaker 1: unenforceable because of the liquidated damage his clause. You pay
Speaker 1: the money and you're gone. If the players would sign
Speaker 1: contracts and say that's it, maybe that would be better.
Speaker 1: Once again, Moe, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: And spring is here. Hope springs eternal. Let's hope the
Speaker 1: Reds light up this town in ways we haven't seen
Speaker 1: in some thirty five years. Mo, thank you very much

Speaker 5: Finished the season twenty seven and oh what, and the
Speaker 5: head coach is a living legend in his own Carlton

Speaker 1: Let's talk he was in high school. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: high school. What year were you in high school?
Speaker 6: I think it was nineteen eighty nine. I graduated from Forest.
Speaker 1: Park, Forest Park, and then you went to UCLA. That's it, correct,
Speaker 1: and the rest is history in my own head, like.
Speaker 5: In your own head.
Speaker 1: I remember you though it's been about twenty five years,
Speaker 1: but I remember.
Speaker 6: Girls transpired since then.
Speaker 10: I'm just happy to have my own daughters making their
Speaker 10: names and have these girls who are like my daughters.
Speaker 1: Explain these girls, introduce them and talk about the game.
Speaker 1: Before we talk about the state wrestling champ.
Speaker 5: She's here.
Speaker 1: She wants to go pro with haul Covian. The introduced
Speaker 1: the girls first.
Speaker 10: Senior senior Ryan Davis, Junior Mikayl Lou Reveese, and senior
Speaker 10: Denied Tremble.
Speaker 6: So just a heck of a season.
Speaker 10: These kids have been here, they paid their dues, and
Speaker 10: two years ago we were thirteen and eleven.
Speaker 6: And same girls thirteen, same girls thirteen and eleven.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't shoot, couldn't play defense, didn't know what they were doing.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure if they still can, but we managed
Speaker 6: to get it right a couple of times this year.
Speaker 1: What was your toughest opponent this year?
Speaker 6: Our toughest opponent, I would say Big.
Speaker 5: Walnut on Hell's home at the Eagles.
Speaker 10: Well, that was a tough game as well, but in
Speaker 10: the state semi final game we had to win in overtime.
Speaker 1: Oh then one of these girls making a dramatic a
Speaker 1: three pointer one and one at the end of the
Speaker 1: game to win the title.
Speaker 10: Ryan made a few big buckets that game. Kayla fought
Speaker 10: through a back injury and contributed a lot.
Speaker 1: He's still limps. He's still limps, can barely moved.
Speaker 10: She fights through, she battles through. And Denia tremail let
Speaker 10: us on scoring that game.
Speaker 1: What is Deny? How many points did she scored for
Speaker 1: the year? How many points a game? Den I?
Speaker 6: I think fifteen fifteen.
Speaker 1: Triple double doubles all the time.
Speaker 6: You got a lot of rebounds.
Speaker 10: She's she scored over a thousand points in her career
Speaker 10: in almost a thousand rebounds, so she's done pretty well.
Speaker 1: Now, Alex King is here. Alex King is the day
Speaker 1: out of the state champion. Kelsey from Lakota West I
Speaker 1: said Easton, and she took high offense at that and
Speaker 1: she puts.
Speaker 5: You in a fake four figure four leg lock. A
Speaker 5: few minutes ago she turned me upside down with the
Speaker 5: atomic drive.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. Alex King, tell me how you get
Speaker 1: your daughter to wrestle?
Speaker 5: Get up to the microphone. Well it started. I coached
Speaker 5: with Lakota east I coach their their kids.
Speaker 1: They're not very good? Are they not very good? O?
Speaker 1: They're great.
Speaker 8: They actually had the other state champion in Lakota this
Speaker 8: year for the ladies, cam Gresham.
Speaker 1: She's a stud, she's she's something else.
Speaker 3: Uh, But I coached for a long time the kids
Speaker 3: and her older brothers wrestled and she was in the
Speaker 3: room all the time.
Speaker 1: Wrestling her brothers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, losing everybody. She could, climbing all over top.
Speaker 1: Of you were getting beat up. So how does a
Speaker 1: girl get I can see basketball? What about wrestling? How
Speaker 1: does a high school girl get into wrestling and be
Speaker 1: the state? Are the weight limits?
Speaker 6: How do you do that?
Speaker 11: It's it's the same as boys. It's it's the most
Speaker 11: growing sport right now.
Speaker 1: It's a little different. But other than that, what wait?
Speaker 4: What what?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 2: Are you and I'm one.
Speaker 1: Do you want to bulk up to one thirty or
Speaker 1: one forty?
Speaker 11: Well I actually wrestled one thirty for most of the season,
Speaker 11: but for postseason I cut cut down, so I could,
Speaker 11: you know, wrestle at my best ability.
Speaker 1: So how do you cut down? You put like a
Speaker 1: plastic bag on. Don't e winkies what I know?
Speaker 11: It's it's eating right and working out as hard as you.
Speaker 1: Lift weights and everything. Well, now do you have a move?
Speaker 1: Is it a figure Ford leg lock? Is it an
Speaker 1: elbow drop? What is your what is your What is
Speaker 1: your move?
Speaker 11: I would say my move is a double leg or
Speaker 11: just you know, snap down, go.
Speaker 1: Behind, snop down, and go behind segment.
Speaker 5: You got that, I think?
Speaker 1: So could you kick segment's ass if you had to have?
Speaker 8: You got.
Speaker 6: She could?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: How many years have you wrestled?
Speaker 11: I think we're going on thirteen?
Speaker 5: Now, wow, she was four five? Which you started?
Speaker 1: Are you a senior or junior? You got one more
Speaker 1: year to win the state title? Carlton, what do you
Speaker 1: think that's impressive? I have all the respect in the
Speaker 1: world for any wrestler. Wrestle Wrestling is a tough sport.
Speaker 1: I don't care who does it. They have a lot
Speaker 1: of respect in my mind. Yeah, because they're in the mouth,
Speaker 1: they're sweating bloody. It's bad hand hand combat.
Speaker 10: Not a lot of people like to get up close
Speaker 10: and personal and and have to actually back up stuff.
Speaker 1: Kelsey, did you get hurt at all? Someone might give
Speaker 1: you a figure forward leg lock and lost your life.
Speaker 12: I did.
Speaker 11: I actually had a pretty healthy season until district. She
Speaker 11: got the flu. This's another thing you gotta gotta overcome.
Speaker 11: The day before we were leaving for State, I landed
Speaker 11: on my head and I hurt my neck pretty bad.
Speaker 5: So it's like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to drop by the under.
Speaker 11: Yeah I had to you know, stay in the er
Speaker 11: that night and uh yeah, get released the next morning.
Speaker 1: That's tough. Yeah, that's tough. Do you want to wrestle?
Speaker 1: I guess as senior go back to back state wrestling time.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'll see you guys next year.
Speaker 5: About that segment that we got champions with went Woods,

Speaker 6: Not the unscored a part, but.
Speaker 5: We do.
Speaker 1: We do take pride in defense, defense like Bobby Knight
Speaker 1: defense defense. How many points a game did you give up?
