I can't 3 00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.640 take the Kansas City Chiefs anymore. Tay Tay's driving me nuts. 4 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.559 I don't care about Kelsey, I don't care about Patrick Mahomes. 5 00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.199 I wanted my Buffalo Bills to win. Scott Sloan's in 6 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.559 a funk the Bills. If we would ask a Buffalo 7 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.600 Bills fan, who's your daddy, it's Patrick Mahomes and the 8 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.120 Kansas City Chiefs can't beat him. Live with it, the 9 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.479 Bills in the Bengals zero and seven in the Super Bowl. 10 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.479 At least we got there a few times and lost 11 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.280 the course. But until then, Brian Hamrick The Power of Five. 12 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.119 Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Brian Hemrick, how 13 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.000 are you good? 14 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:44.359 Thanks again, mister Cunningham. 15 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.759 We hooked up a little bit on Friday, and I 16 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.079 saw you more or less on top in your garb 17 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.719 of the Big mac Bridge, examining everything as you do 18 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.079 so well. Plus we got to get into all this 19 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.640 other stuff. But nonetheless, describe to the American people what 20 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.520 you say on Friday afternoon, because Tony bender wants to 21 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.599 go back and forth to northern Kentucky and not take 22 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:05.719 an hour and a half each way. 23 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:07.400 Please give him a full report. 24 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.159 Well, it's gonna be a little while yet. They're still 25 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.200 supposedly on the schedule to get this thing done by 26 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.640 early March, but it's gonna it's a lot of work. 27 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.280 They you know, they had those huge steel beams that 28 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.799 were melted. Looked like they were made out of candle wax. 29 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.239 H I think there were five seven of those things. 30 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.680 They got those in, They got those up. Then right 31 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.439 over top of those, the tricky part, uh is pouring 32 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.799 the concrete. Now, they got most of that done over 33 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.480 the weekend and uh, I think they still got one 34 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.359 more poor to do. Uh, but it takes about six 35 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.079 hours to do the poor and then it takes seven 36 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.040 days for that to uh to harden up to cure it. 37 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.120 And uh and this kind of weather is very difficult 38 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.799 because it's just too cold, uh and so uh so it. 39 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:57.879 Doesn't cure properly. 40 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:02.079 So what they're doing, it's they basically you know, this 41 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.079 is an area about I don't know, a third the 42 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.680 size of a football field. Yes, I think it's three 43 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.280 lanes wide. It's like two hundred feet long, and they 44 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.120 got to pour eleven inches deep of concrete and so 45 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.439 it takes a long time for that to hear. So 46 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:20.759 what they do is they built it like it's almost 47 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.919 like a little oven, a little and of a giant 48 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.520 oven that they built around this whole area to keep 49 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.520 it warm. So while it's cold outside underneath and the 50 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.199 heat radiating up, it keeps at it, you know, well 51 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.560 between fifty one hundred degrees. They'd like to keep it 52 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.120 about seventy degrees. So it's like Miami Beach under there. 53 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.919 If you get under it's heated up, but the rest 54 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.240 is still cold for the workers. So that's where they 55 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.759 are on it. And they're still on schedule to get 56 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.400 that thing going. 57 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:51.840 Here's the bottom line. 58 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:53.800 I had Mike the Wine on about a month ago, 59 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.360 and Governor Mike de Wine said it should be done 60 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.960 in the middle of February. Here we are getting real 61 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.919 close to February, and now they're talking the first part 62 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.800 of March. What are you being told about when Tony 63 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.960 benders tires will hit I four seventy one, shall we 64 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.319 say south bound and down? 65 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.639 Well, they have said early March is their target date. 66 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.039 I think they'd like to get. 67 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.840 It done before that, but I'm not sure, you know, 68 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.800 especially with all the kind of aspects of doing this 69 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.759 the way they've got to do it, I would say 70 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.560 probably early March, and if they get done before that, 71 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.000 it's a bonus, all right. 72 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.759 Now that the two people charge are actually doing this, 73 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.759 that there's been a muzzlile put on city officials. These 74 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.159 two guys look like they're from the Dukes of Hazzard. 75 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.800 They were found somewhere in an attic in the Arlington Heights. 76 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.879 And do we know why they did this, why they 77 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.000 set the fire and was it intentional? 78 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.960 Was it the homeless thing? Do we know I've talked 79 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:53.400 to a lot. 80 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.080 Of people said anything. Yeah, they haven't said anything. 81 00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.919 About what it was. But they've got charged. 82 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.439 You know, there's going to be I would think some 83 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.560 intentional aspect to it or negligent aspect to it. 84 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.080 But you know, so far as. 85 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.599 To what they you know, what it is and how 86 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.360 it all unfolded. I think what they're probably trying to 87 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.199 do is take those other two to make sure they'll 88 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.759 be good witnesses, you know, And so I think they're 89 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.959 trying to put the pressure on them and you know, 90 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.480 they'll either drop their charges or they'll you know, reduce 91 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.480 them or whatever if they roll one over on the 92 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.920 on their buddies. And I think that's what they're doing. 93 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.759 They're just trying to leverage those two to you know, 94 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.160 see what they can get out of them, and if 95 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.560 they'll testify and all, that'll probably. 96 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:42.920 Help them out. 97 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.399 I remember, you remember the famous case of the Marcus 98 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.759 Fizer little killed and they rolled him up and they 99 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.399 left him in the closet, and then it was the 100 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.560 living girlfriend who ratted them all out. Liz Carroll and 101 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.560 Dave Carroll, and Liz and Dave both went to jail 102 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.439 for extended periods of tunnel is I think seventy five years, 103 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.639 and David went for I want to say seventeen. He 104 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.040 pleaded out when he saw Liz get seventy five, he 105 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:11.920 pleaded it out. 106 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.759 I think he got seventeen. He just came up from 107 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.040 parole not that long ago, and they denied him. 108 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.959 But I remember what one detective told me on that case. 109 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.959 He said, when Amy Baker decided to roll over on 110 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.399 the otherland, he said, the first one on the bus 111 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.920 gets the best seat. That's exactly what happened with Amy Baker. 112 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.040 She got the best seat. A lot of people felt 113 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.519 she was as pulpable as other ones, you know, and 114 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.480 but she she didn't really spend any time in jail 115 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.199 over that particular case. 116 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.000 Amy Baker was the third wheel that it was like 117 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.800 a throtple of sorts and right one of Darling. 118 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.680 Couch living girlfriends. Yeah, yeah, she was a living girlfriend 119 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:56.680 and all that came out in court and yeah. So 120 00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.240 but it's the same kind of thing they try and 121 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.040 use the same technique. You know, they put the pressure 122 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.879 on people because you know, I think they all thought 123 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.439 nobody was going to crack in that case, and I 124 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.120 Jamie Baker saw the deal and said, you know what, 125 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.600 I'm going to take the deal and was able to 126 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.959 you know, convince convince a jury and convince prosecutors that 127 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.120 she was telling them the truth. 128 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.319 And uh. 129 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.199 So that's a common technique that these officers used, you know. 130 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.920 And they will they will, you know, pit one person 131 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.720 against another and and and and tell people anything they 132 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:37.920 want to hear, what they want to hear. 133 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.759 Yeah, kind of when you paid for the band you 134 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:40.600 call the tune. 135 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.040 Now, another issue, yep, that's percolating is the efforts of 136 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.519 this left wing group to shut down the Brent Spence 137 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.360 Bridge project. This is a story written by Patricia Gallagher 138 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.279 Newberry in The inquir in which pig toes and wardy 139 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.439 backs could endanger the project. They're having a hearing on 140 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.120 Wednesday Thursday the High EPA. As you know, you exhaust 141 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.600 your state remedies, and once the state says no, we're 142 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.279 not going to pay attention to you, then you can 143 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.759 jump to federal court. And this group says that it 144 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.240 is the degradation of a vital source of water called 145 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.360 the Ohio River in favor of highway expansion. The High 146 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.279 River already has significant environmental challenges and damages according to 147 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.519 the Davou Good Foundation of Covington and this other group 148 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.519 and so on. The on the twenty seventh, they're going 149 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.879 to be up in Columbus to stop the project because 150 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:37.000 the High Department transportation would endangered certain fish and bushes. 151 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.360 And when I read this story further, I did not 152 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:44.199 know these things existed. But there's seven endangered muscles, including 153 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.839 the warshboard muscle, the elephant ear muscle, the monkey face, 154 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.839 the wardy back, the butterfly, the ebony shell, and the 155 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:56.040 Ohio pingtoe. And so the plan by the EPA is 156 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.160 to go at the bottom of the Ohio River around 157 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.800 the BS Bridge and file these mussels and the bottom 158 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.560 of the river to scoop them up gingerly and to keep. 159 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.560 Them out of water no longer than. 160 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:12.360 One minute for each muscle, and then relocate these mussels 161 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.560 some are north of the High River, to give them 162 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:20.480 a better place to live. Now, there's also four endangered bats, 163 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.959 not baseball bats, but flying bats, including the Amiana hat bat, 164 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.160 the Northern long eared bat, the gray bat, and the 165 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:32.559 little brown bat. They must be identified, tagged and relocated, 166 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.759 to say nothing of two endangered fish, the Channel darter 167 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.120 and the River darter. And then we also have a bush, 168 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:44.799 the Virginia mallow, a perennial herb with white flowers that 169 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:49.320 grows up to ten feet tall, listed as a endangered bush. 170 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.240 Now are you on this story at all because this 171 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:53.279 could be gigantic. 172 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.440 Well, well, I haven't done much with that. 173 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.120 I mean, I'm aware of. 174 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.639 That, and I heard all about all the kind of 175 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:06.879 endangered uh the claims on the endangered species. So you know, 176 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.000 I guess that they will. I don't know if they can, 177 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.919 if they can move those or if they I mean, 178 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.440 I'm not sure, you know how I mean, it's the 179 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.960 Ohio River, you know, that's pretty It's not that you know, 180 00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:23.320 there's a line of things already wrong. 181 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.639 We had a slurry go down there a while back. 182 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:26.799 So I feel like. 183 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.000 Whatever is in there's got to be pretty hearty, you know. 184 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:30.879 But I don't know. 185 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.080 We'll we'll see. I guess they can move that. I 186 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.759 know that that there are other projects that have been 187 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.279 holded up, although we may have to worry about any 188 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.759 of it because it hasn't the funding been held up 189 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.960 on them all. Everything Like with one scoop of a 190 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.360 pen I sink, the entire funding has been held up 191 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.600 on it. I said this was this would be a 192 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.600 great thing, you know, to see the folks on that 193 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.720 side of the aisle, uh, you know, pretty far out 194 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.279 on that side of the hour. We're now gonna have 195 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.320 to get together with the people on the other side 196 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.440 of the aisle to say, hey, none of us want 197 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:07.320 this thing anymore. 198 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:08.159 You know. 199 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.039 Well, it's a. 200 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:14.559 Strange compadres to see, you know, these folks that are 201 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.399 environmentalists getting on the truck bandwagon to say, you know what, 202 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.039 a forget this bridge. 203 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:22.879 We don't need it anyway, they don't. 204 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.519 I like the idea of the bridge. 205 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.480 It's you know, it moves a lot of people, and 206 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.519 I come that way myself. So I hate to see 207 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.360 them not build it for one reason or another. I'm 208 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:35.879 not wild about either. 209 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.759 Of the reasons for not building it. 210 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.919 But hopefully they'll get it done and appease both sides 211 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:41.519 on this thing. 212 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.200 Well, you know they'll hio EPACE come up with a detailed, 213 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:45.519 four hundred page report. 214 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:46.279 You just can't. 215 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:51.399 These are the bureaucrats and the high Department of Natural Resources. 216 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.320 You just can't say, Okay, we'll take care of the 217 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:58.519 pig toe pig toe muscle. The report, for example, says 218 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.559 the state of Ohio will met gave potential harms during 219 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.440 and after construction and minimize damage to the wetlands and streams. 220 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.960 The Environmental Assessment report says oh Hi, for example, is 221 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.320 going to relocate any muscles no more than a year 222 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.519 before construction. Muscles shall be moved only between May first 223 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.440 and October first, kept in water except when cataloged for 224 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.639 no longer in one minute at a time, Otherwise they 225 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:28.759 might die and relocated upstream to similar or same habitats. 226 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.480 Kentucky also is going to contribute to this. They're Kentucky. 227 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:37.519 They have an Imperiled Bat Conservation Fund and two nests 228 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:41.320 were found god forbid more than a decade ago near 229 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.879 the High River, and Kentucky says. 230 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.840 Well, could use one of those imperiled bats, claims, you know, 231 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.039 we've had we had problems over there on the other 232 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.559 side of that upbridge as well, you know. But yeah, 233 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.799 well I don't you know, I guess this isn't the 234 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.399 first project that they've had to move those and you know, 235 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:02.799 so I figure there's a way of doing this. 236 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:03.840 They may just want. 237 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.519 To, you know, make sure that they get their cut 238 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.639 whenever it comes time to uh do out the money 239 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.240 for you know, a project like this that you know 240 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.440 a lot of these environmental groups and not just them, 241 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.600 but you know a lot of groups will you know, 242 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.799 kind of be down there going, hey, there's money going out. 243 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:23.240 And we need to cut. 244 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.080 Yeah, you know what I mean, you know, and the 245 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.240 work they do, they. 246 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.200 Want to be able to support that and all that. 247 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:29.519 You know. 248 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.720 So but you know, that's the kind of thing that 249 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.720 I think you're going to see folks kind of lying 250 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.759 up to say, wait a minute, you know, how can 251 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.080 how can we get in on this? You know? Well, 252 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.600 you know, like I said, not to say they aren't 253 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.240 going to do anything with it, you know, I mean, 254 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.559 it's the work that they're doing. They they want to 255 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.600 make sure they keep these a dangerous species, you know, 256 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.799 from going away. But uh, but when you've got a 257 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:55.919 big project like that, it's sort of like, hey man, 258 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.279 we could you know this, this would help our costs? 259 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.639 You know, so, well, how about this that happened? 260 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.600 The Virginia mallow is a bush and they have to 261 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.559 a long, extensive report to relocate the seeds of the 262 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.759 Virginia mallow bush and whether or not the endangered endangered 263 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:17.120 bush should stop the project or not because it is 264 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:21.120 the site where the Indian Indiana bat is considered likely 265 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.840 to nest. So we got the Indiana bat, we got 266 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.440 the Virginia mallow, we got the pig toe muscles. 267 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:29.799 Now we got issues. 268 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.480 That's something you'd think you could replant though, you know, 269 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.440 I mean maybe it's hard to grow, I don't know, 270 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.279 but you would think you could, you know, get that growing. 271 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.000 Get somebody like Nate Torp's or somebody. 272 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:42.320 Grow you one of those and put it in I 273 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:47.559 mean two point two billion dollar project or whatever it is. 274 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.120 You know, you should be able to, you know, come 275 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.919 up with a landscaping in it. 276 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.200 You know, well, this thing is three point six billion 277 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:59.600 dollars and the project aimed at easing congestion on a 278 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.840 six two year old bridge. However, the environmental reports could 279 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.200 hold it all up. And then you go to federal 280 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.440 court find a liberal judge because of the Virginia mallow 281 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:10.559 or the pigtail muscle. 282 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:11.440 We got problems. 283 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.879 I think it's tough duty to be at the bottom 284 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.639 of the Ohio River feeling with your hands from seven 285 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.960 different species of muscles to relocate. So you think you 286 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.440 got problems the Prince Spence Bridge, I don't know what 287 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:24.879 to say. 288 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.320 Yeah, well, yeah, it needs work on its muscles. I 289 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.720 guess well, the I think they could. I wonder if 290 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.840 they could like dredge and get there's gotta be a 291 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:36.600 process forgetting those, you know. 292 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.200 Yeah, but you got maybe you can't do it. 293 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.360 You're not allowed to do that. 294 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:42.519 You can't do that because it may harm their flesh. 295 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.879 Got to do it by hand. You find these muscles 296 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.639 down there, and then you got the peagon falcon problem. 297 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.320 You might recall in the eighties and nineties, Cincinnati had 298 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.600 a terrible pigeon problem, so the city fathers and others said, 299 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.279 let's bring in three pairs of Perogon falcons. Within about 300 00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.679 two years, all the pigeons were gone. So if you're 301 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:01.559 in Doubt Town in the Fountain Square, you don't see 302 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.320 any pigeons anymore. The falcons, which was declared twenty years ago, 303 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.360 is in endangered species, So now you can't bring in 304 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:12.039 the falcons to kill the pigeons. Both are endangered species. 305 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.399 They had them killing each other. So we got nothing 306 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.639 but issues, Brian Hemrick, nothing but issues. 307 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.240 Yeah, it sounds like the Democrats and the Republicans. 308 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:25.440 And maybe shipping the Columbia worst enemies. 309 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.200 You know, see if Columbia will take the Paragon falcons 310 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:29.480 or Brian, we gotta go. 311 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:31.799 And it's it's unbelievable. 312 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.480 But so you're saying, in about five weeks, Tony Benner 313 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.200 will going south and I four seventy one the Big 314 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:38.720 Mac Bridge. 315 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:39.519 That's what you're saying. 316 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.360 That that's what they think at this point. So let's 317 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.240 let's let's hope that they uh, let's hope that they 318 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:46.480 can stay on. 319 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.480 Task with it. They did with the Prince Spence. 320 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.159 They got that opened the bike a week or two early. 321 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.879 We'll see what happens.

I love deer Park. 366 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.279 Of course Deer Park loves me. And after one o'clock 367 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.440 today do it for Jack dot com. You may remember 368 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.319 about six months ago I had on a wonderful family 369 00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:16.640 that had been devastated through the death of their son, Jack, 370 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.200 who accidentally took an overdose of fentanyl. And when I 371 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.240 read the information about what is happening with the fentanyl poisoning, 372 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.319 it kind of began as something drug dealers got involved in. 373 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.720 But because it was so injurious to so many, especially 374 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.440 younger Americans, communists right China saw this as an example 375 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:39.960 to further a whittle away at the dominance of America 376 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.880 by killing its youth. There's about eighty to one hundred 377 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.279 thousand every year that die. If you go over a 378 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.440 five year period, that's anywhere from five hundred to seven 379 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.559 hundred thousand Americans have died from fentanyl, and the precursors 380 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.720 are generally made in communist red China with the intent 381 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.680 of destroying us from within. I think many have said 382 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:01.480 that when America falls, surely we will at some point, 383 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.279 it will not be a foreign power that invades us 384 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.400 North Korean style, Red Dawn style, but red. It's going 385 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.200 to be we ourselves would do it to ourselves. And 386 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:13.200 one of the ways that the communist Red Chinese turning 387 00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:17.400 our minds to mush is TikTok. Another way is through 388 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.920 drug addiction and their partnership with Mexican MS thirteen gang 389 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.079 bangers and others that've been coming across the border with 390 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:28.200 freedom for at least the last four years. The numbers 391 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:34.000 are outrageous. In fact, last night I had some of 392 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:39.960 the stats from ICE Immigration Immigration Enforcement, and there's about 393 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:45.400 thirteen thousand convicted murderers free of ICE control inside this country, 394 00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:50.240 not from America. There's another seven hundred thousand felons are 395 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:54.559 running around our streets from other countries. This doesn't count 396 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.720 the millions and millions come here simply illegally to work 397 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.319 or do other things. And the first time in four 398 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.960 or five years, we have a president that's going to 399 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.839 say not on my watch, not anymore. 400 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:06.960 So. 401 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.160
