Speaker 1: Billy Cunning into Great America. Welcome this war is Sunday
Speaker 1: afternoon in the tries date Tuesday afternoon is the Reds
Speaker 1: get ready tonight for the All Star Games. Andrew Habitts
Speaker 1: schedule to pitch, and Dela Cruz, Dela Cruz and his
Speaker 1: mother are both there. Is really Dela Cruz has taken
Speaker 1: over the city of Cincinnati as far as his popularity
Speaker 1: with the kids. His sister Dies takes off for day
Speaker 1: or two, and Ellie promises his mom to fly her
Speaker 1: up from the dr to watch him play in the
Speaker 1: All Star Game that is tonight. Red's Baseball kicks off
Speaker 1: again on Friday night in New York with the Metropolitans Friday,
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, and then I cut three more games
Speaker 1: and back home. But until then there was quite a
Speaker 1: bit of discussion among Republicans whether or not to override
Speaker 1: the veto of Governor Mike DeWine when it comes to
Speaker 1: school funding, when it comes to real estate taxes, etc.
Speaker 1: And I understand from State Representative Adam Byrd of New Richmond,
Speaker 1: the Home of the Lions, that is likely to happen
Speaker 1: next week on Monday or Tuesday. And State rep Adam Byrd,
Speaker 1: Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and state rep.
Speaker 1: First of all, describe, if you can, in a succinc way,
Speaker 1: why you Republicans want to override the governor's veto when
Speaker 1: it comes to school funding, slash real estate taxes. Explain
Speaker 1: that to the American people.
Speaker 2: Willie, it's great to be with you. It's an honor
Speaker 2: to be on the Willie Cunningham Show again and really
Speaker 2: appreciate you bringing these issues up before the American people.
Speaker 2: And so your listeners probably know that the governor had
Speaker 2: sixty seven line item vetos, sixty seven of them. It's
Speaker 2: probably a record. And so there's a lot of those
Speaker 2: line item vetos that I think that colleagues of mine
Speaker 2: are wanting to override. But we have prioritized a couple
Speaker 2: that are time sensitive regarding property taxes. And the reason
Speaker 2: that the prime time sensitive is because bills do not
Speaker 2: become effective until ninety days after they are passed. And
Speaker 2: so if we were to override some property taxes is
Speaker 2: the you know, if we do that in July, then
Speaker 2: you go to August, September, October, and then that's ninety
Speaker 2: days and then then you would have to give the
Speaker 2: county auditors time in the months of November and December
Speaker 2: to make changes for January twenty six. So that's why
Speaker 2: we're looking at some property tax issues.
Speaker 1: And you have you need sixty sixty and twenty, which
Speaker 1: is six sixty in the House, twenty in the Senate.
Speaker 1: And when I head on Speaker, mister Speaker Matt Huffman,
Speaker 1: he said, this is something they're going to focus on.
Speaker 1: As you know, if you give a high wins the
Speaker 1: opportunity to vote no on real estate taxes, which is coming,
Speaker 1: we think because the Constitutional Amendment, residents are going to
Speaker 1: do it. If you put anything on the ballot to
Speaker 1: say do you want your taxes to go up or
Speaker 1: be eliminated, guess what, We're going to vote to eliminate
Speaker 1: real estate taxes. So is this an attempt to forestall
Speaker 1: the idea of voting that thing on the ballot.
Speaker 2: I do think that voters are going to make that
Speaker 2: very same judgment that you just said that if something
Speaker 2: gets on the ballot that says I can abolish all
Speaker 2: of my property taxes. My gauge of that really is
Speaker 2: that most people will say, yeah, elemin made my property taxes.
Speaker 2: I'm all in on that, and so yes, we have
Speaker 2: to address this issue. And by not addressing this issue,
Speaker 2: we're pouring gasoline on the abolition of property tax movement.
Speaker 2: And so the things that we're looking at, there are
Speaker 2: three of them, and one of them is giving the
Speaker 2: County Budget Commission the authority to reduce unnecessary or ex says,
Speaker 2: the property tax collections. That that is one. Number two
Speaker 2: that we're looking at is on the twenty miil floor
Speaker 2: calculation and that would require that emergency and substitute tax levees,
Speaker 2: incremental growth levees, all of those be included in twenty
Speaker 2: mil floor calculation. And then the third, the one that
Speaker 2: we're looking at for next Monday, is that we would
Speaker 2: eliminate the ability for political subdivisions to have emergency have
Speaker 2: these replacement levees and fix some substitute levees. So we're
Speaker 2: eliminating some of the types of levees that that villages,
Speaker 2: township schools could try to pass.
Speaker 1: Well, that all sounds good because if you ask the
Speaker 1: average American that lives in Simms Township or lives in
Speaker 1: Claremont County what you just said, they have no idea
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. That They're going to be said,
Speaker 1: do you want to eliminate property? They don't know about
Speaker 1: the twenty four mills, they don't know about the county commission,
Speaker 1: they don't know about that stuff. They're going to say,
Speaker 1: do I want to eliminate my real estate taxes? And
Speaker 1: answer is going to be not just yes, it's going
Speaker 1: to be hell, yes, I want to eliminate it. Now
Speaker 1: I think it's a is it a problem? Because when
Speaker 1: I talked to Matt Huffman other people in Columbus, they
Speaker 1: tell me that if real estate taxes all go away
Speaker 1: and one fell swoop, we got a problem because you
Speaker 1: can only raise taxes and raise government moneys to fund
Speaker 1: things by either the sales tax or the income tax.
Speaker 1: So even though you're conversing in these issues, but the
Speaker 1: twenty flour mills, ceiling, et cetera, people aren't going to
Speaker 1: hear that. You know what I'm saying. You ought to
Speaker 1: go to Claremont County and pull somebody out of that
Speaker 1: new Mexican restaurant on the river and say, let me
Speaker 1: tell you about the twenty mil floor levee, and he's
Speaker 1: going to go, huh, I'd rather get some tacos and
Speaker 1: so what the hell are we going to do if
Speaker 1: the voters eliminate real estate taxes?
Speaker 2: Well, that's a problem, right This movement is growing and
Speaker 2: that's right, And so they did not get the signatures
Speaker 2: required to get on the November twenty twenty five ballot,
Speaker 2: but they're still moving and still working, and so they've
Speaker 2: got to get this done by next summer in order
Speaker 2: to get it on the November twenty sixth ballot. And
Speaker 2: I think the calculation is that you know that they're
Speaker 2: going to probably be able to do that. And if
Speaker 2: they do that right then right now, Ohio wall allows
Speaker 2: schools to ask for an income tax levee. So I
Speaker 2: think schools would have to transition from property tax income
Speaker 2: tax good luck, and we as a General Assembly would
Speaker 2: have to would have to give the authority of county
Speaker 2: commissioners to pass a sales or income tax in a
Speaker 2: county in order to pay for those services that would
Speaker 2: lose property tax revenue.
Speaker 1: We got a problem, Houston. We got a problem because
Speaker 1: if it passes, and if you put on a ballot,
Speaker 1: do you want to increase your income taxes? Yay, sounds
Speaker 1: like a great that's not going to pass either, And
Speaker 1: I talked to aveg Ramaswami about this likely the next governor.
Speaker 1: He said, well, that would be a problem. We got
Speaker 1: to take a look at that. So I guess taking
Speaker 1: a look at it means we don't know what the
Speaker 1: hell we're going to do.
Speaker 2: Is that fair to say, well, yeah, if we knew
Speaker 2: what we're going to do, Willie, we would have done
Speaker 2: it already. I mean, we've been admiring the problem for
Speaker 2: a couple of years, and during the Biden administration, we
Speaker 2: know that property tax valuations went crazy because of national
Speaker 2: and and so we have not been dealing with it.
Speaker 2: It's not an easy issue, and you know, it wasn't
Speaker 2: created overnight. We're not going to solve it overnight. But
Speaker 2: but yes, we're going to have to if property taxes
Speaker 2: are abolished, and we're going to have to find another
Speaker 2: way to pay for schools and villages and townships and
Speaker 2: cities and sheriff's offices, and it's going to be income
Speaker 2: tax or it's going to be sales tax. That's the
Speaker 2: only choice.
Speaker 1: Well, and of course Republicans, which I liked the idea
Speaker 1: having a flat tax. So we're gonna we're going to
Speaker 1: lower the income tax eliminate the real estate taxes and
Speaker 1: then what but explain to the American people what happened
Speaker 1: with a flat tax? Which I love.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we yeah, and the governor signed off on
Speaker 2: that he did not align out and be to a
Speaker 2: flat tax. And so in Ohio, people who make less
Speaker 2: than twenty six thousand dollars pay no tax income tax
Speaker 2: at all. If you make twenty six to one hundred thousand,
Speaker 2: you were paying two point five percent, and if you
Speaker 2: if you, I'm sorry, two point seventy five percent. And
Speaker 2: if you made over one hundred thousand, you were paying
Speaker 2: three point five percent. And so we're lowing everybody to
Speaker 2: the same rate of two point seventy five No matter
Speaker 2: how much you make over twenty six thousand, you're going
Speaker 2: to pay the same income tax. And most people see
Speaker 2: this as a fairness issue. And so the other thing,
Speaker 2: Willy people, some people might say, well, you're goingly giving
Speaker 2: a tax break to go wealthy. Well, you know, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of people out there, Willy, that are making
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand is a combined household income, and they're
Speaker 2: not millionaires. Okay, one of them might be working for
Speaker 2: as a teacher and the other one might be working
Speaker 2: as an electrician. Do you think a combined household income
Speaker 2: of a teacher, an electrician or is over one hundred thousand?
Speaker 2: Of course it is, But we shouldn't be considering those
Speaker 2: people wealthy. We're giving these people a tax break by
Speaker 2: passing this lat tax.
Speaker 1: And so that's going to be effective.
Speaker 2: When effective in January of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: All right, and so at this point, what are the
Speaker 1: probabilities next week have you overriding Governor Mike Dowana often
Speaker 1: say the is only democrats. Democrats fight with Democrats, when
Speaker 1: there's only Republicans. Republicans fight with Republicans. So what are
Speaker 1: the odds of this being overruled? The Governor's Actually, well.
Speaker 2: That's right. We need a three fifth vote, So that's
Speaker 2: sixty House Republicans twenty House senators, and so you know
Speaker 2: to do that, we only have sixty five Republicans. Every
Speaker 2: Democrat is going to be a no to override the
Speaker 2: governor's veto. So you know, we only have sixty five
Speaker 2: House Republicans, and so there'll be a couple of them
Speaker 2: that won't want to override the governor's veto. We've got
Speaker 2: a very slim number here, and we're going to need
Speaker 2: everybody to show up and everybody to stay together in
Speaker 2: order to provide property tax relief to a highlands and
Speaker 2: you know, and that's essentially what we're doing.
Speaker 1: I don't know about Claremont County, but in Hambleton County,
Speaker 1: these special levees are completely out of control. We vote
Speaker 1: on them. Not one special levee's ever lost. We have
Speaker 1: the Family Services and Treatment levy. We have the Developmental
Speaker 1: Disability Services leve we have the Family Services, Treatment and
Speaker 1: Hunger levee. We also have the parks levee. We have
Speaker 1: the zoo levee. We got levees coming out of my
Speaker 1: ear drum. We've got the Cincinnati Museum levee. We've got
Speaker 1: the Zoo and Botanical Gardens levee. We got the tablet
Speaker 1: house levee. We got the prevention first levee. We got levees,
Speaker 1: levees and more levees. Does every county have thirteen levees?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, Hamilton County. You're doing that to yourself, Willie.
Speaker 2: I don't know why you guys do that. And you
Speaker 2: got to be one of the problems that we've got.
Speaker 2: We've got to reduce the political subdivisions that can assess
Speaker 2: the levee. So that's a big part of it. And
Speaker 2: you also, you forgot you have the half half a
Speaker 2: cent sales tax to pay for two stadiums down there.
Speaker 1: Which by the way, is not being told at all
Speaker 1: in the new deal. We also have the Senior services levee.
Speaker 1: We have the injacent care levee. We have the mental
Speaker 1: health levee. We have the levee to get the levee
Speaker 1: and the levee to get the levee. We have nothing
Speaker 1: but levees and we can't. And nobody ever votes against
Speaker 1: the animals. They got to Fiona looking at me in
Speaker 1: the camera saying I gotta eat. So we have think. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got Fionda. We got to pay for that guy.
Speaker 1: We've got people going into the Hamley County Library system,
Speaker 1: which is largely a homeless shelter during the day. We
Speaker 1: got to pay for that. We pay, pay and pay,
Speaker 1: and nobody ever votes knowing any of that stuff. Whose
Speaker 1: faults that Adam Bird, You got me all fired up
Speaker 1: right now. For sure, it's my fault.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I there you go. You're the one who voted.
Speaker 2: Guests on that, I suppose. But this is why people
Speaker 2: are leaving Hamilton County and moving to Kentucky, moving to Indiana,
Speaker 2: moving to Claremont Warren in Butler County. They're leaving Hamilton
Speaker 2: County because the tax structure there is pretty tough.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the stadium. Joe Burrow is going
Speaker 1: to have a great year. Of course, the last two
Speaker 1: years they've not gotten to the playoffs. Joe Burrow had
Speaker 1: the best year any Bengals quarterback ever had, couldn't get
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. And now we've got you and Columbus here,
Speaker 1: and they're going to give I guess the Cleveland Brown
Speaker 1: six hundred million dollars and won't give the Bengals a
Speaker 1: damn thing. Explain that to Tony Bender.
Speaker 2: That's not true, Willie. We're given everybody. We're establishing one
Speaker 2: point six billion dollars one point seven billion excuse me
Speaker 2: of money from unclaimed funds that are sitting there unused.
Speaker 2: And we're going to allow arts centers, cultural centers, professional
Speaker 2: sports franchises to apply for this money. That so it's
Speaker 2: not just for the Bengals, not just for the Browns,
Speaker 2: the Dayton Dragons, the Toledo mud Hens, all of these
Speaker 2: different places. The Aaronoff Center in Cincinnati is a is
Speaker 2: a cultural and arts center. They can apply for this
Speaker 2: money to upgrade their facility. And so these unclaimed funds people,
Speaker 2: some people are upset about that, but Willie, this money
Speaker 2: has been collecting for literally one hundred years, and so
Speaker 2: the people to whom this money belongs have long since
Speaker 2: passed away, and we're going to find a way to
Speaker 2: productively use that. And oh, by the way, that unclaimed
Speaker 2: funds amount is growing by over two hundred million dollars
Speaker 2: every year, So this is we're finding a creative way
Speaker 2: to help arts, cultural and professional sports franchises in Ohio.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the lawyers are unhappy. Lawsuits have been
Speaker 1: fun claiming that you Republicans are taking money out of
Speaker 1: the mouth of babes by having these unplaying funds. So
Speaker 1: this or people's money. You're confiscating the wealth of Americans
Speaker 1: not aware they have unplayed funds. I have thirty seven
Speaker 1: dollars waiting for me to pick it up. I told
Speaker 1: Tony Bender Gil, I'll give you one third of the
Speaker 1: thirty seven dollars if you can find it. But there's
Speaker 1: a list of tens of thousands that have over fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars they've not picked up, and I would think
Speaker 1: they haven't picked it up because they're dead. What do
Speaker 1: you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, many of these people. Again, it's been collected over
Speaker 2: one hundred years, and many of these people have long
Speaker 2: since passed away. We're finding a very productive way to
Speaker 2: use this money because if you invest in professional sports,
Speaker 2: franch this, arts centers, cultural centers, we're growing Ohio and
Speaker 2: we're making Ohio a better place to live. People want
Speaker 2: to move here. It's going to create sales and income
Speaker 2: tax for Ohio. This is a great way to use
Speaker 2: this money. I don't think that the people who are
Speaker 2: going to sue over this are going to have any
Speaker 2: chance at all winning.
Speaker 1: So as far as next it's going to be what
Speaker 1: you think. You're pretty certain you're going to get the
Speaker 1: votes to overturn the governor's line on and veto of
Speaker 1: these two or three items, there's about sixty five remaining.
Speaker 1: What's the status of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we'll continue to look into that caucus
Speaker 2: as a group of House Republicans and Senate Republicans will
Speaker 2: get together as well, and we'll look at some other
Speaker 2: ones that will be interested and overwriting a veto on
Speaker 2: and and you know, some of them are easier than others.
Speaker 2: And you know, some of them, I think are are
Speaker 2: pretty easy lift, Like for libraries. The governor over rode
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, he vetoed a portion of this bill that
Speaker 2: said that libraries must take transgender and LGB material and
Speaker 2: other things that are sexually explicit and put them in
Speaker 2: the adult section. And I think that's a pretty reasonable
Speaker 2: request that we don't put this right in the face
Speaker 2: of our young children. And for some reason, Governor Dwane
Speaker 2: Vito that, well.
Speaker 1: We got any levees coming up, I'd like to get
Speaker 1: your advice on these. What about me voting for the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Public Library levee? How about the Mental Retardation and
Speaker 1: Developmental Disabilities levee? How about the Family Services and Treatment levee?
Speaker 1: How about the Cincinnati Museum levee? How about the Children's
Speaker 1: services levee? How about the Engine and Care levee? How
Speaker 1: about the how about the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden levee?
Speaker 1: How about the Cultural Facilities Task Force levee? How about
Speaker 1: the Icon Sales tax levee? Any advice on voting yes
Speaker 1: or no on those.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a really good point really, that
Speaker 2: people keep people past their passing or getting passed, and
Speaker 2: then they come to the General Assembly they say, hey,
Speaker 2: State Legislature, why won't you get rid of our property taxes?
Speaker 2: And we get yelled at and complained about that for
Speaker 2: lack of action on our part, while at the same time,
Speaker 2: people locally keep passing them, you know, they they vote
Speaker 2: yes on them and then come to us and ask
Speaker 2: us to do something about it.
Speaker 1: Don't you want to feed Fiona and Tucker at the zoo?
Speaker 1: Come on, the hippo's got to eat, don't you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? What kind of man are you?
Speaker 2: I love the owner. I love the Cincinnati Zoo. It's
Speaker 2: a great place.
Speaker 1: Maybe those who attend should pay for just say, you know,
Speaker 1: I've not been to the zoo many many things. My
Speaker 1: mom wouldn't take me there. There was fear they'd keep me.
Speaker 1: And so I'm saying that I've not been to the
Speaker 1: zoo I think in my life. But I have to
Speaker 1: pay for it, and these things never go down. Well.
Speaker 1: State Representative Adam Bird will see what happens next week
Speaker 1: is going to be interesting and you have until a
Speaker 1: year and a half from now to actually overturn the
Speaker 1: governor's veto. You have eighteen months till the legislature runs out,
Speaker 1: which is a long time, but I think some of
Speaker 1: these might be prioritized. And thanks for coming on. We'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. Downtown New Richmond's gorgeous. The French Street Cafe,
Speaker 1: I love New Mexican Restaurant's good. You don't have any
Speaker 1: flooding problems there. When you have a flood, you know
Speaker 1: it's coming, you know what to do and things of
Speaker 1: that character. But lastly, we have about thirty seconds remaining.
Speaker 1: I had on to Sheriff Richard K. Jones the other
Speaker 1: day and he wants to have a siren system set up.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be some levee supporting it that notifies
Speaker 1: the county when there's a flood or a train de ramla.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that?
Speaker 2: Well, okay, that sounds great. Who's going to pay for it? Wow?
Speaker 2: There you go property tax and think about this, will
Speaker 2: we We haven't really talked about property tax versus the fairness.
Speaker 2: Should only property tax owners pay for all of these
Speaker 2: services that people want? What? Why? Why shouldn't everybody who
Speaker 2: is purchasing things in a sales tax? Why Why shouldn't
Speaker 2: it's in sales tax? A little bit fair? Yeah, and
Speaker 2: property tax should only property tax payers.
Speaker 1: But the bill, I think northern Kentucky and should pay
Speaker 1: a lot of our bills. When you come to Hamilton County,
Speaker 1: please buy stuff and let them pay for us for
Speaker 1: our incompetence. I love that.
Speaker 2: But to Adam Berg, when you and I go to
Speaker 2: when we go to Disney World, when we go to Gatlinburg,
Speaker 2: we're paying the bills for Florida and Texas and Tennessee
Speaker 2: and all of these places. But we don't take advantage
Speaker 2: of that tourism kind of opportunity here in Ohio.
Speaker 1: Jack up the sales tax that Tony Bender pays more.
Speaker 1: I like that completely, But all the levees are very important.
Speaker 1: But Adam Bird, thank you very much. Good luck next week.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: Thank you absolutely. And that's at eleven a m. Next Monday,
Speaker 2: Willy early morning time, So stay tuned and hopefully we'll
Speaker 2: protect property taxpayers in Ohio.
Speaker 1: God bless America and God bless Fiona. Let's continue with more.
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 3: Some scientists believe early man began speaking between fifty thousand
Speaker 3: and two million years ago to teach each other how
Speaker 3: to make stone tools.
Speaker 1: Oh, subjug what wrong? Stupid rock? Scoop driver not work?
Speaker 1: You have slotted rock. You need phillips rock. Oh, it'd
Speaker 1: come in mistake.
Speaker 3: And thanks to our Paleolithic predecessors, we have the Eddie
Speaker 3: and Rocky Show. They want to hear what you have
Speaker 3: to say Eddie and Rocky This afternoon at three on
Speaker 3: seven hundred W. Well w get the podcast of their
Speaker 3: show on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You probably think you're four one. Let's continue with more.
Speaker 1: We never stop, We simply continue. After one o'clock today
Speaker 1: will be Julie Gunlock of the Independent Women's FORMIWF dot
Speaker 1: org to talk about public education, transitioning and so much
Speaker 1: more from a conservative female mom's perspective. Also later on
Speaker 1: as the Great Keith Faber, who's now the hottitor of
Speaker 1: the State of Ohio once to become the next Attorney General.
Speaker 1: Very likely Keith Faber will be here. Of course, Reds
Speaker 1: baseball off until Friday night, but tonight the All Star
Speaker 1: Game is with us going to be on fifteen thirty,
Speaker 1: Down and Dirty with Moeger et cetera, going to get
Speaker 1: it done. I know this moment has passed quickly. The
Speaker 1: mainstream media won't deal with it because it's so destructive
Speaker 1: of some of their goals and aims. Which was the
Speaker 1: day the All Star Game got hijacked. Let's go back
Speaker 1: in time just a little bit. The game should not
Speaker 1: be in Atlanta tonight, should have been in Atlanta in
Speaker 1: July fourteenth of twenty one. Let's go back a little
Speaker 1: bit in time to see the fallacy the absurdity of
Speaker 1: liberal progressive arguments about race and Jim Crow, etc. You
Speaker 1: might recall that Joe Biden, the auto pen president mentally incompetent,
Speaker 1: had just been selected by you to be the next president,
Speaker 1: shall we say forty six, took office January the twentieth,
Speaker 1: and Stacy Abrams had recently again lost as the governorship
Speaker 1: of Georgia. And so it was determined, because there was
Speaker 1: a less voter turnout and twenty and twenty eighteen in
Speaker 1: Georgia than they thought should be, that Governor Kemp and
Speaker 1: the Republicans and the Legislature housing the Senate and Georgia
Speaker 1: wanted to update the voter laws and the state of Georgia.
Speaker 1: A new president was in office, shall we say, a
Speaker 1: new president. What was he at that point, about seventy
Speaker 1: seven years old, still mentally incompetent, but he got on
Speaker 1: the vandwagon about calling Georgia, and Georgia changed to the
Speaker 1: voting laws as somehow being Jim Crow twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: Jim Crow. That was the term used by the African
Speaker 1: Americans living in the South and the Democratic control for
Speaker 1: many centuries, passing laws that apply to them disproportionately. Jim
Speaker 1: Crow laws. I say that for those in the gen
Speaker 1: Z that might be listening. So decision was made to
Speaker 1: pressure Georgia not to pass voter registration laws which had
Speaker 1: been adopted by almost every other state. So pressure was
Speaker 1: put on Rob Manfred, the foolish Commissioner of Baseball, to
Speaker 1: change the All Star Game location from Atlanta to some
Speaker 1: other city in state. And they picked. Happened to pick
Speaker 1: Colorado and Denver. So the twenty twenty one All Star
Speaker 1: Game was in Denver because Georgia was passing laws that
Speaker 1: they said it would make it difficult for black folks
Speaker 1: to vote in the state of Georgia. As a consequence,
Speaker 1: the State of Georgia laws millions and millions of dollars
Speaker 1: in revenue and small income. Stacy Abrons didn't mean to
Speaker 1: care at all. Stacy Abrons and others pressured Coca Cola
Speaker 1: and Delta Airlines, headquartered in Georgia, to pile on, to
Speaker 1: increase their DEI departments and to issue public statements condemning
Speaker 1: the State of Georgia. This came out of Coca Cola
Speaker 1: and came out at Delta Airlines, and the so called
Speaker 1: liberal media echoed off the same script with vigor and
Speaker 1: they were shocked, shocked that these voter id laws would
Speaker 1: be passed in the state of Georgia. And if you
Speaker 1: go to MSNBC, CNN, most of the mainstream media, hell,
Speaker 1: the sky was falling. It was terrible. Voter suppression was underway.
Speaker 1: Black folks can't vote anymore in the State of Georgia.
Speaker 1: The new Georgia law, they claim, was without without presidents,
Speaker 1: without proof. It would disenfranchise thousands millions of black voters
Speaker 1: in State of Georgia, and disproportionately by restricting early voting,
Speaker 1: limiting drop boxes, and requiring voter idea, especially something framed
Speaker 1: as a modern day poll tax that to pull out
Speaker 1: your ID, as my producer Drew does on a regular basis,
Speaker 1: here's my ID to vote that somehow that is voter suppression.
Speaker 1: So irrelevant to that fact was that Colorado, where the
Speaker 1: game was being moved by Major League Baseball in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, had similar ID laws. But one thing that
Speaker 1: Georgia law did was expand early voting to seventeen statewide,
Speaker 1: which is a lot more than many Blue states. Never
Speaker 1: mind the facts and that absentee balloting would be extremely easy.
Speaker 1: The fact that you had to have an ID to
Speaker 1: vote angered major League Baseball. They didn't have the baseballs
Speaker 1: to stand up and say, wait a minute. We're in
Speaker 1: the baseball business. We're not in the voter suppression business.
Speaker 1: We don't know what's going on. And it didn't stop there.
Speaker 1: The lies continued. Stacy Abrams appeared on every late night
Speaker 1: TV host show from Kimmel to Colbert, repeating Jim Crow,
Speaker 1: Jim Crow, Jim Crow. The goal was not to debate
Speaker 1: the merits of whether the voter suppression laws as they
Speaker 1: described it was fair or not. It was to teach
Speaker 1: Georgia a lesson. We're going to show Georgia as the
Speaker 1: cutout for other states that may want to have voter
Speaker 1: ID laws. So what happened of the doom and gloom. Well,
Speaker 1: Georgia held elections in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four under the new law that Baseball itself found racist, inflammatory,
Speaker 1: disenfranchising black folks, et cetera. Well, the facts are in
Speaker 1: and when you lie repeatedly and manipulate opinion for your
Speaker 1: political purpose, never admit you're wrong. I ever hold up
Speaker 1: any In fact, I think I haven't seen the story
Speaker 1: yet on this of you that the Major League Baseball,
Speaker 1: Coca Cola Delta airlines are all wrong. In fact, they
Speaker 1: were damnable wrong. In twenty twenty two, compared to twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen before the law was passed, voter surged two hundred
Speaker 1: and twelve percent in primary balloting. Turnout among black folks
Speaker 1: not only matched, but in most counties surpassed previous levels.
Speaker 1: Seventeen percent more black people voted in the state of
Speaker 1: Georgia in twenty twenty two, nineteen percent more voted in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four than voted in twenty eighteen before the
Speaker 1: law was passed, and no one was offered the opportunity
Speaker 1: to somehow revise and consider or reconcile their facts and
Speaker 1: their opinion with reality. Reality is in the voter suppression
Speaker 1: laws did not suppress voters. In fact, they encouraged him
Speaker 1: to vote, especially because of absentee voting, taking away reasons
Speaker 1: to get a ballot and voter id mean it was
Speaker 1: hard to cheat and easy to vote. In fact, the
Speaker 1: suppression laws didn't suppress anything. Accept the credibility of MSNBC
Speaker 1: and CNN unbelievable. So it was announced that later on,
Speaker 1: and quietly, I might add, in twenty twenty three, after
Speaker 1: the results of the twenty twenty two election was in
Speaker 1: that quietly Rob Manford, who is a clown with a
Speaker 1: capital K, announced well, really, the All Star Game will
Speaker 1: return to Atlanta in twenty twenty five. There was no
Speaker 1: press conference, no maya copa's, just a quiet issue of
Speaker 1: a statement. Then he avoided the media for the next
Speaker 1: several months. But oddly, when these things occur, who really suffers?
Speaker 1: It is not the Atlanta braves that are worth about
Speaker 1: two billion dollars. No, No, it's the workers around the stadium.
Speaker 1: It's the vendors, it's the contractors, it's the caterers. It's
Speaker 1: the bartenders, it's the small businesses, most minority owned, who
Speaker 1: missed out on once in a lifetime opportunity. It was
Speaker 1: economic sabotage of African Americans. It was, and it was
Speaker 1: all done for what It was done for a lie.
Speaker 1: And let's not forget, let's not forget the All Star Game.
Speaker 1: It was Biden himself who used the power, the prestige,
Speaker 1: and the weight of the presidency to pressure a private
Speaker 1: business and the punishing a sovereign state, that private business
Speaker 1: being Major League Baseball, and that sovereign state beat the
Speaker 1: state of Georgia. You might recall the protests in the marches,
Speaker 1: the ridiculously yelling and shouting Jim Crow, Jim Crow, back
Speaker 1: and forth. Stacy Abrams, who called for this financial retaliation
Speaker 1: against her own constituents, have never been held to account.
Speaker 1: In fact, she announced again she's going to run for
Speaker 1: governor for a third time. And these are so called
Speaker 1: important national leaders from all the Democrats, from the President,
Speaker 1: from the Vice President Kamala Harris, from Stacy Abrams, all
Speaker 1: of them waging lies and misinformation against Georgia voters that
Speaker 1: turned out to be a complete lie, and no one
Speaker 1: asked the hard questions, do you think black folks cannot
Speaker 1: aren't bright enough to get an ID? Are they bright
Speaker 1: enough to get on a plane with an idea? Are
Speaker 1: they bright enough to get a passport? The Democrats said, no,
Speaker 1: they're not smart enough. They're stupid. That's what Democrats said.
Speaker 1: And as the game preceded in twenty twenty one, the
Speaker 1: jobs lost, the lies repeated, integrity shattered, and no one
Speaker 1: remembers but me the Great American, and all the accusations
Speaker 1: of the so called white Republicans in Georgia to update
Speaker 1: the voter registration laws to require an ID, to expand
Speaker 1: voting days, to make it easy to get an absentee ballot,
Speaker 1: to purge the voter rolls of those that have been
Speaker 1: dead six years ago, they're still dead. And in the meantime,
Speaker 1: working class Americans living in Georgia lost income, especially black
Speaker 1: Atlanta residents or somehow not so confused that they couldn't
Speaker 1: get an ID to vote. But have you seen all
Speaker 1: the stories on this? Have you seen the media going
Speaker 1: back in time? Since it is the All Star Game tonight?
Speaker 1: You know what? We're sorry, we were wrong. Have you
Speaker 1: heard Stacy Abras No, she moved on. I've seen some
Speaker 1: recent interviews she's conducted in which she lays out all
Speaker 1: the the reasons why she should be the next governor
Speaker 1: of the state of Georgia. So tonight in Atlanta, when
Speaker 1: the game kicks off and the cameras pan across the stadium,
Speaker 1: remember the people who tried to make this happen and
Speaker 1: didn't get it done in twenty twenty one. And remember
Speaker 1: the so called journalist who chose activism over truth. And
Speaker 1: let's celebrate that, among other things. Put that in your
Speaker 1: pipe and smoke it. And secondly, before we go much further,
Speaker 1: as you may know, Bill Cunningham and seven hundred WLW
Speaker 1: is public radio. We are radio, and I think I'm
Speaker 1: in the public and I think we use the public airwaves.
Speaker 1: Am I right or wrong about this? If you believe,
Speaker 1: if you can hear me right now, you hear me
Speaker 1: through airwaves or through our apps. And I'm speaking publicly
Speaker 1: in its radio and the government doesn't give me or
Speaker 1: anyone around here five hundred million dollars to conduct public radio.
Speaker 1: And you decide whether you want to listen or not
Speaker 1: by turning offer on the dial and putting us on
Speaker 1: a preset that's the reason. By Friday of this week,
Speaker 1: the clock is ticking for our tax dollars, about five
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars a year, whether to keep NPR and
Speaker 1: PBS alive. And the reason Democrats are fighting so hard
Speaker 1: for VXU and GUC in this market and hundreds of
Speaker 1: other radio stations, it's because they're an outlet for their viewpoints.
Speaker 1: Do not believe for a moment that the same Democrats
Speaker 1: who yell Jim Crow, Jim Crow, Jim Crow in the
Speaker 1: All Star Game are the same Democrats that now say
Speaker 1: we got to keep NPR. Why keep NPR when in
Speaker 1: this market there's about twenty five radio stations. It's because
Speaker 1: they represent the viewpoints of the Democrat Party. If NPR
Speaker 1: was conservative, the Democrats couldn't care less. And the argument
Speaker 1: that rural Americans are worried about losing their access to
Speaker 1: the world is a bunch of bs. And they're trying
Speaker 1: to apply this argument to Collins and Murkowski, maybe Holly
Speaker 1: and some other senators. If you live in the middle
Speaker 1: of nowhere and do not have internet, do not have
Speaker 1: telephone service, do not have a satellite, have no way
Speaker 1: of reaching any necessary information, well you've chosen that lifestyle.
Speaker 1: That's what you want. That's the deal, and taxpayers like
Speaker 1: you and I should not be on the hook. So
Speaker 1: you can get off that problem. And if you want
Speaker 1: news from PBS, donate specifically to the station, give them money,
Speaker 1: but don't make me pay tax dollars to fund a competitor,
Speaker 1: which is PBS or NPR. I have to pay my
Speaker 1: tax dollars five hundred million dollars a year in order
Speaker 1: to fund a competitor. And we are public radio. The
Speaker 1: great American is public radio. And the reason the left
Speaker 1: is so energized, they're mobilized that we provide about a
Speaker 1: billion dollars a year in taxpayer funded propaganda and they
Speaker 1: don't want to lose it. Hell, I don't blame them.
Speaker 1: If NPR was all conservative or libertarian, then the opposite
Speaker 1: might be true. I would hope the libertarian among us
Speaker 1: would not demand that our tax dollars be used to
Speaker 1: support an outlet for their political viewpoints. And to the left,
Speaker 1: to the progressives, to the Democrats, NPR is very valuable.
Speaker 1: It's a megaphone that we pay for and we can
Speaker 1: only afford to lose four votes in the Senate. And
Speaker 1: I said months ago when this came up. It's been
Speaker 1: around for about sixty years, likely to be around for
Speaker 1: another fifty or sixty years. But Republican Republicans don't have
Speaker 1: the coyonees to vote it down. The left is mobilized
Speaker 1: because we spend tax dollars dispensing their viewpoint to you,
Speaker 1: and they need it today's world. That's why the vote
Speaker 1: by Friday is going to be important. Do I think
Speaker 1: the recision is going to pass? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know. But it's only it's only it's only a
Speaker 1: billion dollars a year. A billion here, a billionaire, it's
Speaker 1: a billion. Not a big deal. Well, how about having
Speaker 1: a NPR for conservatism and libertarianism and see if you
Speaker 1: liberals want to pay for that? What do you think? No,
Speaker 1: So we struggle, we fight. Been around for over one
Speaker 1: hundred years. LW is public Radio, and believe it or not,
Speaker 1: of the whole existence of this radio channel, I've been
Speaker 1: here for more than forty percent of the time. And
Speaker 1: I'm not funded by the US government or the state
Speaker 1: of Ohio, Kentucky, or in Indiana. I'm funded by the
Speaker 1: advertisers who spend money so that you buy their products
Speaker 1: while listening to me and find my endorsements worthwhile. Why
Speaker 1: can't in PR had the same formula. And if you
Speaker 1: want to pay for that, please pay for it. Go
Speaker 1: get them, but don't make me coercively pay for your
Speaker 1: listening desires. Because it is an outlet for your propaganda.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. NPR is completely utterly leftist progressive propaganda,
Speaker 1: that's what it is. And if you think your tax
Speaker 1: dollars should fund propaganda, whether you call it USAID or
Speaker 1: whether you call it NPR, is stupid. It's really stupid.
Speaker 1: You're not serious about the deficit and debt. If you
Speaker 1: fund leftist propaganda, well let's continue. Don't make any sense.
Speaker 1: Raise your hand, thank you, thank you. Coming up next
Speaker 1: to me, Julie Gunlock of the Independent Whomen's Form about
Speaker 1: many issues, especially when it comes to motherhood and conservatism,
Speaker 1: and later on as Keith Favor the Auditor of State
Speaker 1: to talk about the moneys he's saving for you. So
Speaker 1: just to reflect to what tonight's all star game, the
Speaker 1: lies hold by the left and Georgia, none of it materialized.
Speaker 1: And secondly, NPR please fund it. Vxhu's great. If you
Speaker 1: want to listen to it. Don't make me pay tax
Speaker 1: dollars to support your propaganda. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven
Speaker 1: hundred Wow about what's happening in the world today, especially
Speaker 1: focusing on children and women and men and everyone else.
Speaker 1: And Julie Gunlock. If you have a daughter or a
Speaker 1: granddaughter and you want to say you want to overwhelm
Speaker 1: and overcome the propaganda in public schools, especially in colleges,
Speaker 1: you must go to IWF dot org Independentwomen's Forum dot
Speaker 1: org and see what other women are discussing about the
Speaker 1: important issues. And Julie Gunlock, welcome again to the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. And first of all, Julie, just over just
Speaker 1: how important do you give me the overview of what's
Speaker 1: happening with Donald Trump and the White House now been
Speaker 1: about six months that he's been there, and the change
Speaker 1: that we see already on college campuses at the universities.
Speaker 1: I know it's affected because the left's crying like crazy.
Speaker 1: In general, how has been to change the last six months?
Speaker 4: It is win after when after when both domestically and internationally,
Speaker 4: we are seeing peace throughout the world. We are seeing
Speaker 4: our economy coming back, we are seeing more confidence in
Speaker 4: the markets. It is an incredible time to be an American.
Speaker 4: And thanks to the Supreme Court, we now have a
Speaker 4: president who can actually act like a president in ruling
Speaker 4: after ruling after ruling. The Supreme Court has given the
Speaker 4: president what heretofore was thought to be the normal operations
Speaker 4: of a president, which is acting on reforms to the
Speaker 4: executive branch. But that actually had to be reformed by
Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. And thank god, the Trump administration has
Speaker 4: been so smart about this. They've gone the legal route,
Speaker 4: They've gone through all the way to the Supreme Court,
Speaker 4: and the Supreme Court again has now reaffirmed what most
Speaker 4: voters believe. Most Americans believe is that when you elect
Speaker 4: a president, he is allowed to do presidential things. So
Speaker 4: be prepared for more winning.
Speaker 1: What a novel idea. And the other day the US
Speaker 1: Supreme Court said the president can control the hiring and
Speaker 1: firing at the US Department of Education, which is under
Speaker 1: the authority of the executive branch of government. That'd be
Speaker 1: like the president telling the Supreme Court who your law
Speaker 1: clerks have to be. It doesn't work that way. Separate,
Speaker 1: how we say, but equal, and each of the three
Speaker 1: branches control it. Now, schools almost getting ready to start
Speaker 1: in about three weeks, and I'm watching I'm one of
Speaker 1: those weird people that watch the NEA convention National Education Association,
Speaker 1: which is the largest teachers union in the country. And also,
Speaker 1: I would note that you live near Washington.
Speaker 4: D C.
Speaker 1: I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. No parent with a choice
Speaker 1: would send their kid to Cincinnati public schools. If there's
Speaker 1: a choice, I would assume that no parent in the
Speaker 1: right mind would send their children to Washington d C.
Speaker 1: Public schools in their right mind. And I saw Paul
Speaker 1: wack gallup the other day that about sixty five percent
Speaker 1: of Americans do not like the public school system, which
Speaker 1: must continue, of course, as is. And so do you
Speaker 1: find it amazing the NEA spends all of its time
Speaker 1: attacking Donald Trump and not dealing with the education of
Speaker 1: America's children.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the NEA and the other teachers unions have not
Speaker 4: cared about student achievement or students themselves or parents, for
Speaker 4: goodness sake, for decades. I'm not sure they ever did.
Speaker 4: But these organizations, these labor unions, are absolutely corrupt and
Speaker 4: corrosive and damaging to the educational system in this country.
Speaker 4: They really cared, they would care about the poor literacy
Speaker 4: rates and math achievements in this country, which are actually
Speaker 4: dangerous from a national security standpoint. If we are not
Speaker 4: educating our students to be able to take on innovation
Speaker 4: and frankly the defense of our country, that is dangerous.
Speaker 4: They don't care about this. They certainly don't care about
Speaker 4: parents' rights and what THEA is about now. And these
Speaker 4: other teachers' unions, what they exist to do is to
Speaker 4: maintain the status quo, to refuse academic choice to parents,
Speaker 4: educational choice to parents, and to keep kids trapped in
Speaker 4: these broken schools. Look full. Choice is about choice, and
Speaker 4: if parents choose in areas of the country where, for instance,
Speaker 4: thirty five percent of people say they like their public schools,
Speaker 4: if they want to continue in those public schools. Nobody
Speaker 4: objects to that. But we want to give people an
Speaker 4: opportunity to choose beyond the public schools. Perhaps if you're
Speaker 4: from a very conservative Catholic family, or you want to
Speaker 4: send your children to a Jewish institution or an institution
Speaker 4: run by Muslims, or maybe maybe a school is really
Speaker 4: good in sports right, or maybe you want your children
Speaker 4: to go to an artsy school. We want to give
Speaker 4: parents that maybe you just want your children to learn
Speaker 4: to read. Okay, take the standards. Yeah, you know, we
Speaker 4: want to give people those opportunities. Nobody has suggesting destroying
Speaker 4: the public school education system in this country. It's about
Speaker 4: reform and it's about getting kids the basics so they
Speaker 4: can go on to being productive members of our society.
Speaker 4: I don't know why the Teachers Union is against that,
Speaker 4: but they are.
Speaker 1: Well. It's a classic diversion tactic, that is, let's not
Speaker 1: discuss the failures of our policies, for God's sakes, and
Speaker 1: the failure of us to perform our essential functions as educators.
Speaker 1: Why don't we blame some inanimate object behind a tree
Speaker 1: somewhere and blame that person, the orange man, blame him
Speaker 1: for our problems. He's only been there about six months,
Speaker 1: and we see what's going on. And one thing hurting
Speaker 1: I think is the lack of failure. You can't have
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old boy or girl in the second grade,
Speaker 1: and so it is known that in the public school
Speaker 1: system in the urban areas, there's no such a thing
Speaker 1: as failing. There's those such a thing as expectations, there's
Speaker 1: no such a thing as requiring parental involvement, and so
Speaker 1: you simply pass someone to the next grade irrespective of
Speaker 1: their mastering of the academic pursuits required for that grade level.
Speaker 1: And I can recall, going back twenty some years, George
Speaker 1: Bush said that it is a fourth grade guarantee that
Speaker 1: by the third or fourth grade your kids should be
Speaker 1: able to read and do basic math. And of course
Speaker 1: that was racist, sexist, and homophobic. We can't do that,
Speaker 1: and so wouldn't it be nice if we had a
Speaker 1: system in schools where the parents had to be involved.
Speaker 1: Secondly there was achievement goals, and thirdly, no such thing
Speaker 1: as social promotion. What do you think about that one?
Speaker 4: You know, honestly. What also is amazing to me is
Speaker 4: that they are not talking about the lingering effects of COVID,
Speaker 4: the COVID closures which they championed, and they wanted to
Speaker 4: go on and on and on. We are seeing a
Speaker 4: generation of lost children that will never be able to
Speaker 4: live productive lives because of the actions of these teachers
Speaker 4: unions that insisted that the schools be closed, and they
Speaker 4: used it as a bargaining chip to get more money,
Speaker 4: more vacation, more better retirement benefits. And I guarantee you
Speaker 4: they had memory hold that whole issue. Never apologize. There
Speaker 4: have never been any statement saying, Okay, we won't do
Speaker 4: this again. They don't look back and say, Okay, these
Speaker 4: are the decisions. These are the bad decisions. And you
Speaker 4: know why because Trump is elected and now all they're
Speaker 4: going to do is talk about Trump, Trump Trump. And
Speaker 4: frankly Trump hadn't been elected, all it would have been
Speaker 4: is a cheerleading section for Kamala. This organization is nothing
Speaker 4: more than an adjunct of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine Kamala Harris as the president with the oh,
Speaker 1: just the name, It just gets my hemorrhoids doing the macarena?
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine Kamala Harris with the problems
Speaker 1: in Causa and the Ukraine, in our cities and that
Speaker 1: mom Donnie's about to seize power in New York City
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris is the president? What Tim Wiltz the
Speaker 1: marshmallow Man, Oh my god, the thought.
Speaker 4: It would have been, It really would have been awful.
Speaker 4: And I mean, look, we've still got major urban areas
Speaker 4: in this country that are going communists, that are hopefully
Speaker 4: electing communists and supporters like this Minneapolis, the Somalian American
Speaker 4: Uh nominee for for Minneapolis, the Minneapols and and uh yeah,
Speaker 4: the mayor of Minneapolis, and and Mom Donnie. I mean,
Speaker 4: it is really shocking what we're seeing in certain areas
Speaker 4: of this country. Thank god Trump is there, and thank
Speaker 4: god we have the House and Senate by Razor thin Margins.
Speaker 4: But we better keep them because it is terrifle. Look,
Speaker 4: but the Democrat Party is the party of from the
Speaker 4: river to the sea. They are they are the party
Speaker 4: of killing Jews, they are the party of Hamas support.
Speaker 4: They're the party of defund police, of of of harming
Speaker 4: kids through these shutdowns. I mean, there is nothing good
Speaker 4: and they're getting more and more radical. When you when
Speaker 4: when David Hogg was too conservative for the d NC,
Speaker 4: you got a problem.
Speaker 1: Oh can you imagine David Hogg, Mom Donnie and the
Speaker 1: King Jefferies in charge of us. Anyway, let's move on
Speaker 1: to something else, because my mind is going nuts right
Speaker 1: now thinking of President Kamala Harris. I can't handle it.
Speaker 1: You wrote a great column. And I have a friend
Speaker 1: of her friend who tells me that they have a
Speaker 1: daughter who's thirteen years old, who believes she's in she's
Speaker 1: a daughter. She's a female, but she's locked in a
Speaker 1: female body. She wants to become a male, and the
Speaker 1: system in school, etc. Encourages her to transition. And you
Speaker 1: have a great column up that says, the mom's guide
Speaker 1: to parenting trans questioning kids. We don't let miners buy
Speaker 1: alcohol or cigarettes, but we let them cut off their genitals.
Speaker 1: So can you tell me? Can you tell me a
Speaker 1: mom's guide? You're like a mother in fact, you can
Speaker 1: have children. I cannot believe it or not. I don't
Speaker 1: have a uterus, and I cannot produce children, no matter
Speaker 1: how much I would like to. In fact, I think
Speaker 1: if men could get pregnant, I think abortion would be
Speaker 1: a sacra sacrament. That's a different y. So can you
Speaker 1: talk about a mom's guide to parenting trans questioning kids.
Speaker 4: Well, this is the reason these things are so part
Speaker 4: reason that we try to release this guide to parents
Speaker 4: is because parents are being lied to not just from
Speaker 4: school officials, but from medical officials, medical personnel, which is
Speaker 4: probably the biggest tragedy here. And one of the reasons
Speaker 4: is that the medical community, like many institutions in this country,
Speaker 4: has been sort of taken over by the radical left,
Speaker 4: and many of These medical organizations like the AMA and
Speaker 4: the American Pediatric Associates Association are run by a small
Speaker 4: cadre of medical officials who are wildly left. They take
Speaker 4: over these organizations and then they issue policies and they
Speaker 4: say this represents the entire medical community. It's a total lie.
Speaker 4: But some doctors are fooled by this. Some doctors are persuaded.
Speaker 4: And one of the lies out there is that if
Speaker 4: you do not give your child. This is a horrible,
Speaker 4: horrible phrase, but it is used by the left and
Speaker 4: it should never be used. But they like to use
Speaker 4: the term gender affirming care, which is is sex denying,
Speaker 4: mutilating surgeries and cross sex hormones. That's what it really is, okay,
Speaker 4: And these poor parents are told if they deny their
Speaker 4: children these medical interventions and their child will commit suicide.
Speaker 4: That is a terrible sophie's choice for parents. What do
Speaker 4: they do? Do they risk their son or daughter committing
Speaker 4: suicide or do they mutilate their child? And so the
Speaker 4: reason that we wrote this guide is to explain to
Speaker 4: them these phrases that are being used, the politics at play,
Speaker 4: the great manipulation at play, and why the medical community
Speaker 4: frankly and the psychology community cannot be trusted on this stuff.
Speaker 4: They are denying facts, they are denying science, and it
Speaker 4: is a very dangerous time for kids right now. So
Speaker 4: we wanted to offer parents some very basic guidance on
Speaker 4: how to navigate these really, really difficult conversations with your kid.
Speaker 1: You know, the live daughter or dead son is the
Speaker 1: argument being used. And you have a posting that says
Speaker 1: children of all a being a courage to entertain the
Speaker 1: dangerous myth they're born in the wrong body. Is a
Speaker 1: good parenting or to immediately affirm such declaration stopping natural puberty,
Speaker 1: removing healthy breast tissue, and even removing or altering healthy
Speaker 1: sexual organs. And every now and then I see d
Speaker 1: transitioners who are now twenty five and thirty years old
Speaker 1: whose lives have been ruined because of puberty blockers and
Speaker 1: or surgery. And if someone is twenty or twenty five
Speaker 1: years old and wants to have it done, I may
Speaker 1: have a problem with that. If Tony Bender, my producer,
Speaker 1: shows up at the optimologist office and say, hey, doc,
Speaker 1: I identify as a blind man. Take out my eyeballs,
Speaker 1: would the eye doctors say, hey, Tony, I want to
Speaker 1: affirm what you think you are. I'm taking out your eyeballs?
Speaker 1: Would that work?
Speaker 4: I'm I am so glad that you say that, because
Speaker 4: I am not one of these libertarian types who says, hey,
Speaker 4: you're an adult, you get to do whatever you want. No,
Speaker 4: you don't. If I if I suddenly identify as a quadriplegic,
Speaker 4: are they going to snip my spine? Are they going
Speaker 4: to cut my legs off? I mean, this is not
Speaker 4: We should not be being basically telling people who have
Speaker 4: a mental issue, a mental health issue, that we're going
Speaker 4: to do whatever. Do we affirm women who are and
Speaker 4: young men who are dealing with anorexia nervosa or bolimia. No,
Speaker 4: we don't affirm that kind of behavior. You know, there
Speaker 4: are lots of children who identify as certain things and
Speaker 4: we let them grow out of it, We let their
Speaker 4: brains mature. And look, the evidence is clear. Over in Sweden,
Speaker 4: they have done a tremendous amount of research on this
Speaker 4: and it shows that something like ninety percent of kids
Speaker 4: who have some sort of body more dysphoric issues grow
Speaker 4: out of it and go on to live very normal
Speaker 4: lives where they have not mutilated their bodies. They are
Speaker 4: not on cross sex hormones and they go on to
Speaker 4: have normal lives. The fact that we are actually altering
Speaker 4: these children before they've reached maturity. And frankly, again, if
Speaker 4: you are an adult and you identify as a different sex,
Speaker 4: you should not affirm that. You should get I'm counseling
Speaker 4: and help them to live in the body God gave them.
Speaker 4: Nobody is born in the wrong body. This is a
Speaker 4: sickness that should be treated, not affirmed.
Speaker 1: Lastly, you're one of your specialties at IWF dot Org,
Speaker 1: Julie Gunlock his health things of that character. Right now,
Speaker 1: Bobby Kennedy Junior is in the cross airs of the
Speaker 1: ame the Pediatric Association by issuing different guidelines that he's
Speaker 1: not saying don't get vaccines. He's saying, here's the information.
Speaker 1: As a mother or father, you decide do you have
Speaker 1: empathy for the verbal attack that Bobby Kennedy Junior is under.
Speaker 4: You know, Billy, I got to be honest with you.
Speaker 4: I'm not not a huge fan of RK. I have
Speaker 4: worked on vaccine issue for many years and I am
Speaker 4: disappointed with some of the actions that he has taken.
Speaker 4: I am also disappointed to be honest with you. In
Speaker 4: this recent you know, everybody's celebrating this week that you know, oh,
Speaker 4: you know ice cream is taking the dies out of
Speaker 4: ice cream and taking the dies out of this and
Speaker 4: you know, different paths super restaurants switching from from vegetable
Speaker 4: or seed oil to to tallow. You know, it's still
Speaker 4: French fries, and it's still ice cream made with fat
Speaker 4: and cream and sugar, and so do I. And the
Speaker 4: infantestimal amount, the teeny teeny dose of red dye or
Speaker 4: whatever you're getting it is not harmful. We need to
Speaker 4: be teaching better eating habits, more exercise, getting kids outside,
Speaker 4: getting off their phones. Okay, this is the stuff. This
Speaker 4: is true health. Okay, taking a teeny tiny tiny bit
Speaker 4: of dye out of ice cream isn't going to do
Speaker 4: a dang thing to make anyone healthier. This is an
Speaker 4: unpopular opinion, especially with mono crowd. But I'm a little
Speaker 4: tired of this stuff. And you know, I'm really tired
Speaker 4: of people who say this stuff and then stick botulism
Speaker 4: in their face, okay, botex in their face and get
Speaker 4: all sorts of different you know, procedures. The bottom line
Speaker 4: is is that we are an unhealthy society because we
Speaker 4: have the freedom to make unhealthy choices that might not
Speaker 4: be popular with people, but you know, that's just the
Speaker 4: way freedom is. That's the way liberty is. You can
Speaker 4: make unhealthy decisions. And these tiny ingredient changes to food
Speaker 4: items are only going to make them more expensive and
Speaker 4: they're not going to make us healthier. So I don't
Speaker 4: exactly support everything on the vaccine issues. I think he's
Speaker 4: made some pretty startling and provocative moves, but I will
Speaker 4: tell you my sympathy is with him sometimes because this
Speaker 4: wouldn't be happening if the public health industry and the
Speaker 4: public health sort of arena hadn't acted so poorly during COVID.
Speaker 4: And what's more, they never apologized. Never, There was never
Speaker 4: any constriction, and not one person Fauci. He walks around
Speaker 4: still acting like a proud peacock. He never said, you
Speaker 4: know what, we overstepped. We should have done better. I
Speaker 4: shouldn't have funded that. Wuhan said, No, he never did.
Speaker 4: And so this is what you get when you treat
Speaker 4: people like this, When you shut down businesses, when you
Speaker 4: force people to put foreign substances into their bodies, you
Speaker 4: bet you're going to get an anti VAXX movement, and
Speaker 4: so you know, I'm sort of I have complicated opinions
Speaker 4: on this, yes, but but I feel like, you know,
Speaker 4: the publical community, the courages are what they got.
Speaker 1: Well, I'd say this, Jolly Gunlock. The crowd that says
Speaker 1: de transition or shall I say transitioning, cutting off genitals
Speaker 1: is okay, abortion is okay, Botox is great. But Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham candy his blue eminem's. I mean when I like
Speaker 1: blue eminem, so I pick out the red ones. I
Speaker 1: like the blue ones. And somehow I'm the problem. But
Speaker 1: I can get boat talks, abortion, transitioning kids. That's all okay,
Speaker 1: But damn it, those blue mms are driving me nuts.
Speaker 1: All Right, we got to run I WF dot Org.
Speaker 1: Julie Gunlock, you're the best. You're laughing. Thanks again, thanks
Speaker 1: for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

Speaker 1: you know that? Anyway? I don't know left field or
Speaker 1: Johnny Edwards ten years with the Reds, MVP in the
Speaker 1: National and the American League. Number twenty bingo, Frank Robinson.
Speaker 1: Robinson should have ever been traded? Well, I met in
Speaker 1: a hotel room once in Detroit. Okay, I'm up there
Speaker 1: playing baseball with Hal Pennington's team. Yeah, with my buddy
Speaker 1: Bob Ornsen, and we knew the Reds the Orioles were
Speaker 1: in town to play Detroit and we had a free
Speaker 1: afternoon we were staying and the same hotel as the
Speaker 1: Reds I saw, so I'm sorry, same hotel as the Oriols.
Speaker 1: And I watched some of the oriol players running around
Speaker 1: and I say, why didn't you? And I walk up
Speaker 1: to Frank Robinson and say, hello, We're from Cincinnati. So
Speaker 1: I said, okay, let's do it. We waited around the lobby,
Speaker 1: acting as if you know, they were autographed seekers that
Speaker 1: said at Brice Robinson, pretty good walker twenty Frank Robinson.
Speaker 1: I walked up to him and said, I called him
Speaker 1: mister Robinson, opposite for missus Robinson. It was mister Robinson, right.
Speaker 1: I said, I'm from Cincinnati. We're here to play in
Speaker 1: a tournament. He looked at me and said, so what,
Speaker 1: and he walked away. I'll say, I said, okay, oh,
Speaker 1: well your big moment, my moment of glory. Wow? He
Speaker 1: said so what and walked away. What the hell? Anyway,
Speaker 1: I didn't meet him in a hotel. That's good. How
Speaker 1: about Eric Davis and center number forty four? What about
Speaker 1: that Ben getting better than that? But how about the
Speaker 1: best Reds player of the first fifty years of the
Speaker 1: twentieth century who played center field, ed Rousch. Do you
Speaker 1: think Ed Roush or Eric Davis. I'm going with forty four.
Speaker 1: Right Field had five or six great years with the
Speaker 1: Big Red Machine, went to the Mets and George Foster
Speaker 1: in his prime, in in their prime. I'll put that team.
Speaker 1: And then the catcher not Dan Beardello, Johnny Edwards, Not
Speaker 1: Johnny Edwards. Not ed about Ed Thominson, Eddie Thobinson. No,
Speaker 1: come on one too, Ryan Hannigan one, two, three, four,
Speaker 1: Johnny Benn that's it right there, Johnny Bench, Now on
Speaker 1: the mound, starting pitcher? Could it be suits Mario Soto?
Speaker 1: Pretty good? Jim Maloney. I think he was the best
Speaker 1: pitcher of the Reds ever had until he hurt his shoulder.
Speaker 1: I think Marty would agree with.
Speaker 5: Me on that one.
Speaker 1: The DH was Tony Perez, Tony Perez epa Rixy huh now, Rixy?
Speaker 1: What about Bob Perky number twenty three? He was pretty good?
Speaker 1: How about Jose Blame it on Riotberg's Rijo? What about him?
Speaker 1: I put him in there too. Now we have the
Speaker 1: manager and we have the we get well, let me
Speaker 1: guess that the manager's number ten. Can't say number ten,
Speaker 1: you're gonna say Spartan Anderson. I thank you who was
Speaker 1: fired by the Reds? Right it was fired? Yeah? Number ten?
Speaker 1: Well he traded Frank Robinson. How do you doing Detroit?
Speaker 1: Pretty darn good? And the relief pitcher wild man's favorite
Speaker 1: Danny Graves. Correct. Wow over the missile? Yes, wow over
Speaker 1: the missile so that its first base is Vodo, Second
Speaker 1: is Joe Morgan, shortest Barry, third is Pete. Outfield is
Speaker 1: left field Robinson, center, Eric Davis, and not Ed Rausch.
Speaker 1: I think Jim's gott plays softball with Ed Eddie Roush.
Speaker 1: Right field is George Foster. Managing is Sparky d h
Speaker 1: is Tony Perez. Right handed pitcher is reliever is Danny Graves.
Speaker 1: Eppa Rixie the mount Wow, how about that? I'll know

Speaker 1: think Jose blame it on Ree in a big game.
Speaker 1: There's two games he pitched against Oakland, gave up a
Speaker 1: total of one and two games. Steinberg's Tom sever but
Speaker 1: in his prime. I would take Tom Seaver or Jim
Speaker 1: Maloney in their prime and worse hand Hamilton, Joe Noxie.
Speaker 1: Where is he not out on the list? I bet
Speaker 1: you he would be on the pitching staff. How about
Speaker 1: all the time broadcasters? I'll give you an option, Red Barber,
Speaker 1: Al Michaels, George Bryson, Marty Brenahan or Tommy Thrall. What
Speaker 1: is the all time people? Yes? What about the Cowboy?

Speaker 1: I would say Marty's number one. I got this from
Speaker 1: Russ Jackson. He knows everything. Oh boy, Epper Rixy is
Speaker 1: the only Red starting pitcher to spend the majority of
Speaker 1: his scurred with the Reds. Who's in Cooperstown? There's see,
Speaker 1: those are the facts I rely about. Okay, the only
Speaker 1: Reds pitcher primarily here in Cooperstown is Upper Ricksy. Sever
Speaker 1: was here five plus years. But Epper, do you remember
Speaker 1: Epi Rixy? I know the name, but not No, I
Speaker 1: wasn't about Bubbles Hargrove. I remember, I remember, I remember him.
Speaker 1: I've heard of that name. Yes, Epa ricks the only
Speaker 1: starting pitching for the Reds spend most of his time here.

Speaker 1: TOPE call five one three five one three t o
Speaker 1: p H. Of course, Seattle's Kyle Rally wins the home
Speaker 1: run Derby last night. He's known as the big Dumper
Speaker 1: first catcher and to win the home run Derby and
Speaker 1: the second Mariners player to win it, is the big
Speaker 1: Dumper a compliment or a criticism. I guess we hits
Speaker 1: him or something. I don't think he's fat. He takes
Speaker 1: a big dump and then the second Mariners player to
Speaker 1: win the home run Derby since Ken Griffy. That's that
Speaker 1: your guy, Now, why didn't the Reds all time team
Speaker 1: have on either of the Griffies, Because right field, what
Speaker 1: about Parkway? What about Dave Park, the Cobra, it was

Speaker 1: Willie and the at L with the All Star Game

Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW by Billy cunning into Great American. Keith
Speaker 1: Faber is making a state visit. As you may know,
Speaker 1: Keith Faber is the auditor of the State of Ohio.
Speaker 1: And Keith Favor welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: And Keith, where does life find you this afternoon? If anywhere?
Speaker 8: I am in Middletown, going to be meeting with some
Speaker 8: local leaders here at the chamber and gonna be talking
Speaker 8: about good government.
Speaker 1: Now you sent me a text here which is an
Speaker 1: incredible story. Well, first of all, can you tell the
Speaker 1: American people what in the heck does the state auditor do?
Speaker 1: If anything?
Speaker 8: Well, I always say, we're the watchdog for Bobb and
Speaker 8: Buddy Buckeye's tax dollars. We go out and catch people
Speaker 8: who are lying, stealing, and cheating with tax money, and
Speaker 8: we keep your tax dollars safe. I don't know at individuals,
Speaker 8: I don't know in businesses, and I have absolutely nothing
Speaker 8: to do with collecting taxes. But if somebody's wasting your
Speaker 8: tax dollars.
Speaker 1: Were on it, you sent me a case here. Former
Speaker 1: Allen County Regional Transit Authority Executive director guilty and all
Speaker 1: counts and theft of twenty seven thousand dollars. Now what
Speaker 1: did this person do, if anything that resulted in maybe
Speaker 1: years in jail.
Speaker 8: Well, she really did two big things. One is she
Speaker 8: had a scheme to where she would take money from
Speaker 8: the Regional Transit Authority and send it to the levee
Speaker 8: campaign to help finance the levee. And you know, the
Speaker 8: Ohio law is pretty clear you can't use taxpayer dollars
Speaker 8: to ask taxpayers for more of their money. And it
Speaker 8: was bad enough if she just did that that the
Speaker 8: real scheme was to hide it from our auditors and
Speaker 8: hide it from the public. And that's what she was
Speaker 8: convicted of seven felonies. In addition to that, she actually
Speaker 8: had the goll to have the Regional Transit Authority pay
Speaker 8: for her interviewing trips trying to find a new job,
Speaker 8: and so we put her, we convicted her. I actually
Speaker 8: tried that case personally, and look, we're trying to say
Speaker 8: to people, if you're going to waste our views or
Speaker 8: steal tax dollars, you're not safe anywhere Ohio.
Speaker 1: So really she received little direct benefits as a person,
Speaker 1: but Sheili Haney used taxpayer money for her benefit to
Speaker 1: unlawfully influence the out come of a Levey election. So
Speaker 1: did most of the money she steal go to the
Speaker 1: levee campaign. Then she had some ancillary benefit personally.
Speaker 8: Yeah, she stole about two to three grand personally on
Speaker 8: this personal trip for interviews that she charged the RTA
Speaker 8: four and she also got reimbursed for those by the
Speaker 8: interviewing companies. But that was about three grand. But most
Speaker 8: of the money was She had the scheme where she
Speaker 8: would pretend to donate vehicles to nonprofits and then she
Speaker 8: would sell them and take the money from the sale
Speaker 8: and put it into the Levee committee. And one of
Speaker 8: her defenses was, well, I didn't profit from this personally. Yes,
Speaker 8: I was going to keep my job at the levee passed,
Speaker 8: and yes I asked for a big raise up to
Speaker 8: the levee past, but I didn't I didn't financially benefit personally.
Speaker 8: The short answer is the law doesn't require financially benefited.
Speaker 8: The law only requires us to prove that she was lying, cheating,
Speaker 8: and stealing and trying.
Speaker 2: To hide her cover up.
Speaker 1: How do you discover such things? Is it a tipper
Speaker 1: was in an How do you discover this?
Speaker 8: Most of our cases come from tips, and that's why
Speaker 8: I always tell your viewers one eight sixty six Sphrauto H.
Speaker 8: One eight sixty six Sphrauto H or Ohio Auditor dot gov.
Speaker 8: But this one actually came from our audit team. We're
Speaker 8: in there doing our annual audit. We go in audit
Speaker 8: government entities every single year, or every other year if
Speaker 8: they don't spend very much money. But our audit team
Speaker 8: was in there auditing. They came across vehicles, and as
Speaker 8: a capital asset a vehicle when they get rid of it,
Speaker 8: we want to know what happened to the vehicle and
Speaker 8: what happened to the money. And their stories kept changing
Speaker 8: as to what happened to these vehicles, and so our
Speaker 8: audit team tipped off our criminal unit, our special investigations unit,
Speaker 8: and they went in there with our forensic auditors and
Speaker 8: the rest is history.
Speaker 1: And unlike other cases, Keith Faber, you're like a real person,
Speaker 1: an attorney, and you actually tried the case yourself. Did
Speaker 1: I hear that correctly?
Speaker 8: You are correct. I might be the first state auditor
Speaker 8: in history to actually ever go and personally prosecute somebody.
Speaker 8: We were appointed by the Allen a prosecutor. My team
Speaker 8: was to be the special prosecutors. We've got expertise. We've
Speaker 8: got men and women with badges and guns and guns
Speaker 8: as our investigators. We partnered them up with forendsic auditors,
Speaker 8: and then I've got a team of full time special
Speaker 8: prosecutors who go in prosecute these They're very specialized. We
Speaker 8: had over sixty exhibits. As a lawyer, you know what
Speaker 8: that means. That's an awful lot of paper in a
Speaker 8: case like this. And so we go in and we
Speaker 8: prosecute those and it's funny story. I was appointed by
Speaker 8: the local prosecutor along with my lawyers as special prosecutor.
Speaker 8: In a meeting with my lawyers, one of them said, hey,
Speaker 8: why don't you come up and prosecute this with us?
Speaker 8: And I said absolutely, I'm been And so I did
Speaker 8: the grand jury and then we prosecuted it and got
Speaker 8: a conviction on all seven charges.
Speaker 1: How long was the jury trial? Was it? Many days?
Speaker 2: Four days?
Speaker 8: We started on Monday. The jury came back Thursday night
Speaker 8: at about five o'clock.
Speaker 1: I would thank the Allen County prosecutor. Is more than
Speaker 1: a happened to pass this case on to you? Is
Speaker 1: that fair to say I don't want to deal with that.
Speaker 8: That's usually the case. That's usually the case numbers cases,
Speaker 8: you know, these white collar crime cases, these tax dollar thiefs.
Speaker 8: Usually it's more of a specialized case than your average
Speaker 8: run of a no murder rate, those kind of cases,
Speaker 8: and so they often pass those off to us because
Speaker 8: that's what our prosecutors do.
Speaker 2: They're really good.
Speaker 8: I haven't looked at our actual conviction rate, but I
Speaker 8: think we're there near one hundred and forty to zero
Speaker 8: on our convictions since I've been auditor. We might have
Speaker 8: lost one that I'm not thinking of, but I don't
Speaker 8: remember one. And our people get in there. Our auditors
Speaker 8: are really good. Our teams are professionals, and we have
Speaker 8: the resources to get the convictions, and candidly, that's what
Speaker 8: we do.
Speaker 1: Your press release to me said Special Investigations Unit has
Speaker 1: assisted with one hundred and forty two convictions resulting in
Speaker 1: more than thirteen million dollars in restoration. By the way,
Speaker 1: is she able to restore this money back to the
Speaker 1: taxpayer or is she broken in jail?
Speaker 8: Well, she's not in prison yet. She had moved to
Speaker 8: Tech and was working down there doing something. You know,
Speaker 8: we will ask for a restitution order which will follow
Speaker 8: her until she pays it back. And my guess is
Speaker 8: one of her conditions she will probably get some degree
Speaker 8: of community control. On seven f three, she could do,
Speaker 8: you know, twenty years if the judge or orders them
Speaker 8: to be consecutive. So my guess is she'll have some
Speaker 8: time hanging over. She won't get she probably won't get this.
Speaker 8: You know, she's a non violent offender with no criminal record,
Speaker 8: so the odds are she'll she'll do a little bit
Speaker 8: of time, but probably not twenty years, and so she'll
Speaker 8: have some time hanging over and hopefully she'll.
Speaker 4: Pay us back.
Speaker 1: Keith Faber or a state auditor. What about some of
Speaker 1: the other cases. You have one hundred and forty two
Speaker 1: convictions that stand out as being particularly brazen.
Speaker 8: The other big one out there is the Columbus suoitcase.
Speaker 8: My auditors went into the Columbus zooit case after we
Speaker 8: got alerted to it, and found that the problem with
Speaker 8: the Columbus Zoo, with the executive stealing money and living
Speaker 8: the lifestyles of the Richmond famous on Columba Zoo assets,
Speaker 8: was much worse than what the zoo board thought, and
Speaker 8: we worked with the Delaware County prosecutor of the Attorney
Speaker 8: General's Office, and by prosecutors went in and we convicted
Speaker 8: five of the executives, five of the leaders of the
Speaker 8: Columba Zoo, some of which are doing upwards of seven
Speaker 8: years in the state prison. I always say they're guested
Speaker 8: the people of Ohio for an extended period of time
Speaker 8: for their misdeeds, and that ended up being millions of dollars.
Speaker 8: I think it was ended up being about two point
Speaker 8: three two point four million dollars.
Speaker 1: What crime did they commit, because I would assume these
Speaker 1: individuals had no previous record, it's a white collar crime
Speaker 1: at the zoo. What did they do.
Speaker 8: Well, they were involved in largely. What they did was
Speaker 8: living the lifestyle of Richard famous on zoo assets. So
Speaker 8: what they did is they took zoo resources knowingly and
Speaker 8: then used them for personal benefit. For example, they would
Speaker 8: have the zoo pay for a luxury loge at one
Speaker 8: of the sporting events for one of the guys and
Speaker 8: his buddies to go see a concert. They used the
Speaker 8: country club that the zoo paid for, and he would
Speaker 8: have as one of the executives, would have all those
Speaker 8: family members and everybody go dying at the country club
Speaker 8: on the zoo. One of the guys they had a
Speaker 8: motor home, and he used that motor home for personal
Speaker 8: use all around the country, build it back to the zoo.
Speaker 8: I mean, this is the kind of stuff that they
Speaker 8: did over and over again, and it was real clear
Speaker 8: that they knew.
Speaker 1: What they were doing.
Speaker 8: Again, I always tell people the misdeed is one thing.
Speaker 8: To cover up makes it worse, and in this case,
Speaker 8: they took steps to try and cover it up, and
Speaker 8: that made it worse, and the judge just wasn't having it.
Speaker 8: At a certain point. When you try and take what
Speaker 8: I think is one of the best zoos in the world,
Speaker 8: not just in Ohio, and use it for your personal use,
Speaker 8: it really really something that ought to be accounted for.
Speaker 1: Now, lastly, my sources tell me you're going to run
Speaker 1: for Attorney General next year. What is right and what
Speaker 1: is wrong with the present age?
Speaker 8: Well, there's a lot of things that Davio's does well.
Speaker 8: He was my predecessor in the State Auditor's Office. He
Speaker 8: handed me a well running organization. But there are things
Speaker 8: that the AG's office can do better, and one of
Speaker 8: them is you know, the AG's office runs the State
Speaker 8: Crime Lab, it's called BCI, and certainly it can be
Speaker 8: more supportive of our local cops and prosecutors around Ohio.
Speaker 8: We certainly can take OPATA, which is the Law Enforcement
Speaker 8: Training Arm and up the training and support our police
Speaker 8: officers there. You know how important it is for our
Speaker 8: local prosecutors and police to have a law and order
Speaker 8: environment and to get the support they need, and that's
Speaker 8: certainly something we're going to make a priority. But one
Speaker 8: of the big things we're going to emphasize, and this
Speaker 8: is just taking what Dave's done and building upon it,
Speaker 8: is elder abuse and the cyber fraud stuff that we're
Speaker 8: seeing out there, these cyber criminals. It's for most of us,
Speaker 8: it's not a question of if, it's a question of
Speaker 8: when you're going to get hit, and we need to
Speaker 8: take a better stand and say don't come to Ohio.
Speaker 8: And so we're going to up up that unit and
Speaker 8: go after these people who are trying to take advantage
Speaker 8: of senior citizens and frankly all of us.
Speaker 2: They doesn't go by that.
Speaker 8: I don't get five or six telephone calls trying to
Speaker 8: convince me that my medicare advantage plan should be relocated. Well,
Speaker 8: I'm not Medicare advantage and I'm certainly not Medicare eligible.
Speaker 8: And all of those are scam calls trying to get
Speaker 8: financial information from people. We need to crack down on those,
Speaker 8: and we'll make a big effort.
Speaker 2: To do that.
Speaker 1: It'd be great on your phone on my cell. I
Speaker 1: always get these pitches that I get them like everyone else.
Speaker 1: It's maddening. I wish there's a way to stop it.
Speaker 1: I think senior citizens shall always say are more vulnerable
Speaker 1: than others because they're not as sophisticated as perhaps they
Speaker 1: should be. And these are scams in which you have
Speaker 1: to and there's a worn out for your arrest. I
Speaker 1: got a couple recently in which there was some toll
Speaker 1: I didn't didn't pay in New York. I've been there
Speaker 1: in about ten years. And if I don't call in
Speaker 1: and give them my credit card number, I'm going to
Speaker 1: be arrested in the morning. What do you think about that?
Speaker 8: Right, all of those are scams. I tell everybody, do
Speaker 8: not give anybody any information over the phone. If they
Speaker 8: call you, it's a scam. Law enforcement, legitimate entities. Do
Speaker 8: not call you your credit card company generally doesn't even
Speaker 8: call you. I was driving from Cleveland to Columbus about
Speaker 8: a month ago, and I got somebody purporting to be
Speaker 8: Chase Banks fraud department asking me if I applied for
Speaker 8: a credit card in Chicago, and the answer is, of
Speaker 8: course I didn't. And once once I said I didn't,
Speaker 8: they started wanting a whole bunch of information.
Speaker 2: And what tipped me off.
Speaker 8: Is somebody who lives in this world was they started
Speaker 8: asking me questions, well, a short answer if it's really
Speaker 8: Chase fraud, And they wanted to know whether you applied
Speaker 8: for a credit card. Once you told them no, that's
Speaker 8: the end of the conversation because either they deny the
Speaker 8: application and they move on. But you know, they wanted
Speaker 8: to transfer me to a supervisor and all the other stuff.
Speaker 8: After I actually hung up on them, they called me
Speaker 8: back three times saying, hey, we were disconnected. I said, no,
Speaker 8: we weren't disconnected, your scammer. I'm up on you. Ultimately,
Speaker 8: if somebody calls you like that, the best piece of
Speaker 8: advice flip over your credit card on the backs are
Speaker 8: real numbers on your credit card. That's the number you
Speaker 8: use to communicate with them. Don't give numbers that they do.
Speaker 8: Don't go over the internet. All of that stuff can
Speaker 8: be scammed. Call that real number. When I did, I
Speaker 8: called Chase, asked for their fraud department, talk to them,
Speaker 8: and lo and behold, it was not the Chase credit
Speaker 8: card company that called me. They did not have a
Speaker 8: fake application in my name. They just wanted to get
Speaker 8: information so they could submit a f a fake application.
Speaker 8: They also do that stuff that's happening out there, and.
Speaker 1: Keith Saber, they also did this on the internet. That's
Speaker 1: just a telephone call. I get emails all the time
Speaker 1: about someone using my credit card which I don't have
Speaker 1: in some distant market, or PayPal, which I don't use PayPal,
Speaker 1: and I'm told that someone's charging PayPal. If a consumer
Speaker 1: is told I don't have a PayPal account or an
Speaker 1: Apple pay account, and I don't do that, and nonetheless,
Speaker 1: I'm told that I have to contact this number or
Speaker 1: else is going to charge to my PayPal or Apple
Speaker 1: pay account twelve hundred dollars for something. And should you
Speaker 1: even bother to contact them or just ignore it?
Speaker 8: Ignore it because it's a scam. Once you contact them,
Speaker 8: they will get your information. They're gonna say, well, well,
Speaker 8: tell me your card number so we know which the
Speaker 8: talent you're talking about. Even though they send you the email,
Speaker 8: they're scamming. They're fishing for information. These scammers are really
Speaker 8: good social engineers, and they're going to try and get
Speaker 8: information for you. Just ignore it and delete it. If
Speaker 8: it's an actual real challenge. When you actually see the
Speaker 8: charge on your account, you can contest it and their
Speaker 8: processes for that, but do not respond. The other one
Speaker 8: I love seeing Bill, is you just want to free
Speaker 8: gas grill from the low sweep Steaks or the home
Speaker 8: depot or somebody else is sending you something. Let me
Speaker 8: give you a hint. You never entered the SUP stakes.
Speaker 8: You didn't win it, and so it's a scam to
Speaker 8: get information from you, and so do not respond to
Speaker 8: those emails. Do not respond to those texts. The scammers
Speaker 8: are really good at social engineering, and they're going to
Speaker 8: try and get information from you, and what they're doing
Speaker 8: is just they're scammers. That's the kind of stuff. I
Speaker 8: don't know how many saw the Beekeeper movie, and I
Speaker 8: always say I wish I had some more guys out
Speaker 8: there like the Beekeeper to go out and catch these
Speaker 8: people who are scamming people, particularly senior citizens, and bring
Speaker 8: them to know what I would call traditional you know,
Speaker 8: range justice or Old West justice. But the reality is
Speaker 8: you've got to rely on governmententities, and the Attorney General's
Speaker 8: office is one of those places that can do more.
Speaker 1: Lastly, about a minute remaining, Keith Faber, we have a
Speaker 1: situation in Cincinnati, the city thereof, in which large numbers
Speaker 1: of individuals engage in riotous misbehavior, largely without consequences. We
Speaker 1: live in a city where you can openly smoke marijuana,
Speaker 1: buying and selling drugs on the city streets, and the
Speaker 1: cops are told don't enforce those laws. I see around
Speaker 1: Central PARKWAYOTR, Saint Francis, Seraph, large numbers of individuals engaging
Speaker 1: themselves in open air prostitution, drug sales, marijuana use, and worse,
Speaker 1: and the city cops they're overstretched under They're overwhelmed and stretched,
Speaker 1: and they can't respond properly. If you become the Attorney
Speaker 1: general and Cincinnati remains a sanctuary city, in which, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, there is going to be two thousand
Speaker 1: cars stolen in the city of Cincinnati this year, along
Speaker 1: with another one thousand cars in the county. So in
Speaker 1: hamletin County, we're gonna have three thousand cars stolen. We
Speaker 1: have open air use of drugs. The city police do
Speaker 1: not enforce traffic laws. They put in speed bumps. Is
Speaker 1: there something you can do about any of that?
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And let me start out by saying, the first
Speaker 8: thing you have to do is support law enforcement. If
Speaker 8: the police aren't supported, it's going to be not be
Speaker 8: very long before they start questioning how they do their
Speaker 8: job and.
Speaker 2: The level that they do their job.
Speaker 8: And you know, we need to support our law enforcement
Speaker 8: period and make sure that we have their back. Now,
Speaker 8: if there's a bad actor, the first people that want
Speaker 8: to get rid of a bad actor and law enforcement
Speaker 8: are good cops, and most cops are good, and so
Speaker 8: that we need to start with that premise. The second
Speaker 8: thing we need to do is start telling we're going
Speaker 8: to prosecute things. You've seen this over and over. It
Speaker 8: used to be the broken window approach. You know, you
Speaker 8: fix the broken windows because you don't want the rest
Speaker 8: of the community to deteriorate. And if you ignore small crimes,
Speaker 8: it doesn't take very long for people to believe you're
Speaker 8: also going to ignore the big ones. And we're seeing
Speaker 8: this in cities all across the country, and certainly starting
Speaker 8: to see this in Ohio and where we've got progressive,
Speaker 8: left wing prosecutors that think it's doing somebody a favor
Speaker 8: by ignoring the law and not enforcing the law. But
Speaker 8: we're going to see our communities suffer, and that's something
Speaker 8: we just can't accept.
Speaker 1: Keith's favorite, good luck to you and getting the scoundrels
Speaker 1: out of the public trough, and a good luck to
Speaker 1: you in your efforts, and good luck there in Westchester
Speaker 1: going to Middletown Home a segment Dennison Keith Favor. Thank
Speaker 1: you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you Keith.
Speaker 1: Thanks Bill, God bless America. Let's continue with more. There
Speaker 1: you have it. We have someone looking over your shoulder
Speaker 1: to make sure your money is well spent. All the
Speaker 1: news radio seven hundreds WLW, whether it's a.
Speaker 6: Little league playing in the backyard, whatever, do they not
Speaker 6: call the guy that comes to the plate to batter.

Speaker 6: they say, you know, this is a walker. You know

Speaker 1: gonna be I'll take don you take o? Olivia done? Yeah?

Speaker 1: turn that on. That off. It looked like wild man.
Speaker 9: We're supposed to have that stuff, but bender may walk
Speaker 9: in and see this on a work computer.
Speaker 1: Right, you got some you got I think you got
Speaker 1: Hudson as a mermaid, he said research. I'm thinking Tonight's
Speaker 1: All Star game should be something especially Velly Day. You

Speaker 1: one thing I give Baseball, thank god, thank god tonight.
Speaker 1: The players from now on are going to be able
Speaker 1: to wear their individual uniforms like that, and says, so
Speaker 1: stupid things they've been wearing the past few days, a
Speaker 1: few years at just say National League on. It looks
Speaker 1: like some jacket you get in the garage. You know
Speaker 1: it's Tony Benneran. I got a memo today. We're on
Speaker 1: a bowling team. We're going to bowl today at four o'clock.

Speaker 1: any contest? I'm taking Levy done. You know what. I
Speaker 1: think they had to go to SummerSlam. Let's do it.
Speaker 1: But she's awfully flexible, referring to Jordan Hudson her in
Speaker 1: the Mermaid outfit? The Mermaid outfit? Have you seen that?
Speaker 9: When I've seen the one herd doing like the back
Speaker 9: layover on Bill Belichick's legs, I I I love the look.
Speaker 9: I've looked at that and it's got to be a
Speaker 9: I it's got to be a AI generated thing.
Speaker 1: But that I'm told it's not better watch that stuff. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what if? What if you were told
Speaker 1: by get a hold of that three years because guess
Speaker 1: what you're gonna Bill Belichick will be a short line
Speaker 1: with some woman in a Mermaid outfit. He'll be on
Speaker 1: the in the sand with his legs and arms up
Speaker 1: looking like a crab. Yeah, with a fishing vest. Mothers,
Speaker 1: big floppy fish. I would that's stupid. Take all my
Speaker 1: money on that one. That's when I say, when Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow takes up with Olivia Dunn, it's going to be controversies,
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 9: But he's a smart guy, so maybe maybe this is all.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is all ploy Maybe he's just doing this.
Speaker 9: Everyone doubts, seem everyone overlooks they're gonna stink this year,
Speaker 9: all of a sudden, all of a sudden, boom boom boom.
