We have to talk about Mitch McConnell. I'm 21 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.840 promoting you, Colonel Sanders, to be the next Senator from 22 00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.280 this great state of Kentucky, who's now in a wheelchair, 23 00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.840 not capable of moving much less thank you. But until 24 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.000 then you told me the story of another Cincinnati and 25 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.439 who found their way to northern Kentucky. Unfortunately, he was 26 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.519 shot in the headshot in the face, got eighty years 27 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.920 in prison. Give the American people a full report. 28 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:13.920 Well, there was a fellow by the name of Mark 29 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.799 West who was over in Chevy at which my understanding 30 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.040 is over on the west side of Cincinnati somewhere maybe 31 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.120 the west side of Hamilton County, but anyway, I've never 32 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.959 been to Chevy, I don't think, but he stole a 33 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.200 car from a gas station over there. A fellow that 34 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:31.840 was leaving his night shift job at a local White Castle. 35 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.599 Sorry I couldn't think of the restaurant name. Leaving a 36 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.840 local white Castle that was open twenty four hours in 37 00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.480 the morning. When he got off work, stopped at the 38 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.799 gas station, got ali Carr, left his cell phone in 39 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.319 the car, went inside, and when he came back out, 40 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.680 the car was gone. That cell phone's important because after 41 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.120 reporting his car stolen to the Chevy police, the victim 42 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.120 of this car theft and his girlfriend got a ride 43 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.040 from a neighbor and they followed an app on that 44 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.560 phone called LIGHTE three sixty and followed that car all 45 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.200 around town, all over downtown Cincinnati, eventually across the bridge 46 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.280 the one that I want to build a wall on, 47 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.599 but across the Brent Spence Bridge, and followed him up 48 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.400 by seventy five to Fort Mitchell where the car had exited, 49 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.439 and imparked me into the gas pumps at the Fort 50 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.599 Mitchell Kroger. And they followed the dot on their light 51 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.479 three sixty app into the Kroger parking lot, saw the car. 52 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.960 Wish they had called the Fort Mitchell police them let 53 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.400 Chief Rob Nator and all the professionals in Fort Mitchell 54 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.360 go apprehend their car for him, But they took it 55 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.080 upon themselves to go try and reclaim their stolen property. 56 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.039 Each the mail and the female snuck up to the car, 57 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.199 one on each side, and as the male tried to 58 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.520 climb in the driver's seat, the female started shouting into 59 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.759 the driver to give her a car back on this 60 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.560 Mark West character Willie, instead of getting out and giving 61 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.199 up the car he had stolen, he tried to drive away, 62 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.240 and he's dragging this lady's boyfriend by the passenger side door, 63 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.719 and she pulled out her lawfule own handgun and shot 64 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.280 him in order to stop him and disable him from 65 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.120 driving away, dragging her boyfriend possibly to his death. The 66 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.159 boyfriend was thrown from the vehicle. Fortunately he sustained a 67 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.280 head injury, but it was holding minor knocked him out. 68 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.800 Might have a little CTE, but no permanent damage hopefully. 69 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.719 When he woke back up, they had found that this 70 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.680 Mark West character had driven the car across the parking 71 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.439 lot after crashing the car into a propane tank sales 72 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.759 beIN or where they're selling a propane tanks, and I 73 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.159 wonder you didn't blow himself up, and then drove across 74 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.479 the parking lot and crashed into the pickup truck, a 75 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.960 park pickup truck that was owned by a retired Marine 76 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.199 Corps colonel. Fortunately the colonel was inside doing some grocery 77 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.759 shopping wasn't injured when he struck that pickup truck, but 78 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.639 he did total the colonel's pickup truck. So we prosecuted 79 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:48.240 mister West for receiving stolen property. We prosecuted him for 80 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.639 criminal mischief for the damage he did both to the 81 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.759 victim's car and the pickup truck he crashed into, and 82 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.479 we prosecuted him from wanting in dangement for dragging one 83 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.520 of the victims with the car as he drove across 84 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.960 the parking lot. After the jury took only twenty minutes 85 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.159 to find him guilty of all those offenses, which for 86 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.039 the most part were entirely captured on the Kroger store 87 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.800 security cameras, the jury got to hear about its criminal history. 88 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.479 Willie and this character had ten prior felony convictions, none 89 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.680 of them out of Kenton County, but ten por felony 90 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.839 convictions in seven prior cases. So the same jury also 91 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.800 found him guilty of being a persistent felony offender in 92 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.560 the first degree, and when it came time to sentence him, 93 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.399 they recommended twenty years on the wanton dangement, twenty years 94 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.839 on the receiving stolen property, in ten years for each 95 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.839 criminal mischief, all consecuted for a total of sixty years. 96 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.839 Now keep in mind when this victim shot mister West 97 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.480 as he was driving away dragging her boyfriend with the car. 98 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.199 She shot him right in the face, the heck of 99 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.240 a shot. And thank god she didn't shoot her own 100 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.079 boyfriend because he was in the passenger seat right next 101 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.319 to mister West. But nevertheless, she hit her target. Shot 102 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.439 him right in the face. The bullet lodged in his jaw. 103 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.319 He had to be taken to medical treatment at University 104 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.600 Hospital and he was eventually arrested on a warrant by 105 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.519 the Fort Mitchell Police because we had the extra died 106 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.600 him back here, as we do whenever somebody gets charged 107 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.879 after they've been taken over to the University Hospital. But 108 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.439 Chief Ropinator was one of the first police officers on 109 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.279 the scene actually put the cups on Mark West himself. 110 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.560 We had a couple officers, Tim Pang Galil and Corey 111 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.399 Warner testified for US at trial, along with Detective Jess 112 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.040 Hamblin who led the investigation. Heck of a job by 113 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.000 all parties, but we were very happy with the outcome. 114 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.279 Anytime we have repeat criminals wreaking havoc on our Fort 115 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.720 Mitchell Kroger where I think probably at least half the 116 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.120 jury shop there, half the Kenton County shops at the 117 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.519 Fort Mitchell Kroger, nobody wants to see this kind of 118 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.079 craziness going on, and we certainly don't want car thieves 119 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.639 from Chevy getting the idea that they should drive their 120 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.120 stolen cars over to Fort Mitchell and read this kind 121 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.279 of chaos on a nice town like Fort Mitchell, and 122 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.920 of course a very safe Kenton County, Willie. So that 123 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.279 was my last week. Fun time, good trial, good outcome, 124 00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:58.560 and here we are. 125 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.240 Mark West is now looking at when he gets sixty 126 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.480 years in jail. I assume he's also ugly, gets shot 127 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.240 in the face by one of the victims. 128 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.560 He's ugly and a lot of pain. 129 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:16.120 Sixty years in prison, persistent fellon in Kentucky, sixty years 130 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.319 means what? How many years is sixty years actual prison time? 131 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.399 Unfortunately, because these are all defelonies Kentucky, I guess I 132 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.319 don't know what the theory behind this law is, Willy, 133 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.959 but Kentucky law caps de felonies even for persistent felons, 134 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.240 in twenty years. So even though the jury said sixty, 135 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.720 he'll only get a twenty year sentence for the Department 136 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.800 of Corrections will only make him serve twenty of those 137 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.639 sixty years. Of course, he's stilling titled a good time 138 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.639 and stuff like that, so it'll probably be even shorter 139 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.480 as long as he behaves himself. I don't know what 140 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.240 the theory behind that is, except that maybe the legislature's 141 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:52.279 thinking no matter how many class defelonies. We only want 142 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.560 to pay to house this criminal for twenty years and 143 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.720 then we'll kick him back out. But mister west is 144 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.480 been't just shy of forty years old, So hopefully he'll 145 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.079 be in there past criminal menopause and we won't have 146 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.040 to worry about him committing any more crimes. When he 147 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.759 gets back out. Hopefully he'll be too old. Maybe he'll 148 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.439 remember getting shot in the jaw and think better of it. 149 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.720 I don't know either way. Or maybe he'll just stay 150 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.800 over in Chevy It that would be fine by me too, Chevy. 151 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.160 It's real close to the Dent, the Dent drive in 152 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.439 movie theater where Rocky Borman spends a lot of time 153 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.040 when he was a younger man at the Dent drive 154 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.160 in movie theater. But what percentage of the criminals like 155 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.399 this when not the small stuff, the big time stuff 156 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:28.720 comes out of Cincinnati. 157 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:29.000 Is a. 158 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.600 How much time do we import in northern Kentucky. 159 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.120 Well, fortunately, Willie, it's not as much as you might think, 160 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.079 because although there's a lot more crime going on on 161 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.800 the north side of the river, that river for the 162 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.399 purposes of crossing it, whether it be criminals or non criminals, 163 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:45.720 you know, I only cross it when I have read 164 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.480 or Bengals tickets for the most part. Every once in 165 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:49.399 a while, might eat it at Jeff Ruby's restaurant. But 166 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.360 for the most part, I don't cross the river, and 167 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.560 I think most of the criminals fortunately do the same thing. 168 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.240 So I'd say relatively low percentage, maybe twenty percent, could 169 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.000 be a lot higher. You know, I see the news, 170 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.720 see all the shootings and all the murders, and all 171 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.319 the horrific violent crimes they got going on on the 172 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.199 north side of the river. Certainly we don't want any 173 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.439 of that over here. So you know, the sooner we 174 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.439 get that wall Bill Willie, we can cut it down 175 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:14.680 even more, because I do think that a much greater 176 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:18.399 proportion of our violent crime is either from the north 177 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.439 side of the river, or at least has ties to 178 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.639 or started on the north side of the rivers. You know, 179 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:27.040 ongoing disputes or feuds between criminals or gang members or 180 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.279 drug dealers, anything like that, and next thing you know, 181 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.279 they end up over here for one reas or another, 182 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.600 either fighting with one another or renting out airbnbs to 183 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:38.200 throw parties or hotel rooms one of the fine establishments 184 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.879 down along our riverfront because lord knows, all the criminals 185 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.080 and dope smokers in Ohio love to drive over to 186 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.360 Kentucky so they have a great view of downtown Cincinnati 187 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.720 when they smoke their weed, which by the way, is 188 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.799 still illegal in Kentucky. You're not allowed to smoke any weed, 189 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.240 even medical weed. But that's a whole another story. Nevertheless, 190 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.039 they like to come over here a lot. But you know, 191 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:58.840 if we could get that wall built, we'd probably cut 192 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:00.600 our violent crime rate maybe and half. 193 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.679 On a different issue with the of course, the senior 194 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.559 senator from Kentucky is Mitch McConnell. He's voting against many 195 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:13.639 of the Trump nominees. Kentucky voted about plus thirty percent, 196 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.600 like sixty five thirty five for Donald Trump. You have 197 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.960 a US senator's kind of off the reservation. And how 198 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.360 popular right now is Mitch McConnell in the Bluegrass. 199 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.559 Not very popular with the Republican Party. I don't think, 200 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.120 I know that the Republican majority that we have in Kentucky, 201 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.600 as he mentioned, voted very heavily in favorite President Trump. 202 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:36.799 And I think a lot of people just see this 203 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.320 as an obvious indication that Senator McConnell is in all 204 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.879 likelihood not running for office again because he's going to 205 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.720 have a really tough time explaining these votes if he 206 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.080 were to file for reelection. So I can only imagine 207 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.039 this is his swan song. This is his way of, 208 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.159 I don't know, maybe pulling a Matt Bevin and poking 209 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:57.759 the voters in the eye on the way out the 210 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:01.159 door in his own way. I don't know. I really 211 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.600 hate to see it because Senator McConnell's had a long 212 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.600 and distinguished career. He's done a lot of great things 213 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.840 over the time. He's really built up the Republican Party. 214 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.519 Of course, he served as Senate Majority Leader longer than 215 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.000 anybody else in the history of the United States. So 216 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.399 he's definitely got a career to be applauded. But I 217 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:17.799 think there's a lot of people that are ready for 218 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.200 his exit stage right. 219 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.320 A lot of commentary about ice. You've been at the 220 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:29.080 forefront as far as encouraging the federal officials to avoid 221 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.480 Northern Kentucky of criminals. Have you noticed a downtick and 222 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.200 uptick or whatever in ICE activity. The Boone County Jail 223 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.519 is one of two local jails. The other Butler county 224 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.879 that houses dozens of illegals. As a frontline prosecutor, have 225 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.919 you noticed any difference of the Trump policy in northern Kentucky. 226 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:46.120 Well, I do. 227 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.679 Willie actually had our new ICE contact, which I can 228 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.320 tell you for the last four years, I have had 229 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.399 no ICE contact whatsoever. Wouldn't know how to get a 230 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.960 hold of ICE if I had to, But we now 231 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.919 have an ICE contact that made himself known to me, 232 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.480 came over, introduced and met with me. I don't know 233 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:04.639 that I want to say his name on the air 234 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.200 because I don't think there might be some security issues there. 235 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.279 But he's a great officer and really great to work with. 236 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.840 You'd never guess that he was a federal law enforcement 237 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.720 officer looking at him, I will say that much. But 238 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:16.639 he is a very good guy and he's been great 239 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.720 to work with. He's very responsible on email. I know that. 240 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.679 In the last time, or I guess this was last 241 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:26.440 week when we met. Last Monday, we had nine undocumented 242 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.120 criminals in our Kenton County detention center that we're only 243 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.159 in there because they had broken the law, and in 244 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.720 some cases broken the law multiple times because some of 245 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.200 them had been out on bond and then jump bail, 246 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.480 not shown up to corp, made us go hunt him down, 247 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.080 find him again, lock him back up. And now the 248 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.200 Trump administration is starting to deport those criminals. Well, they say, yeah, 249 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:47.159 I've seen an uptick. Now, I couldn't tell you one 250 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.840 instance in Kent County. I'm not saying there hasn't been, 251 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.519 but I couldn't tell you one instance I'm aware of 252 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.919 of anyone other than a criminal someone that's sitting in 253 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.080 one of our jails that is being deported. But I 254 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.080 do know that ICE there's been a pleasure to work with, 255 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:06.399 and they're putting holders on all the illegal immigrant criminals 256 00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:08.879 that we've got sitting in our detentions our Boon County 257 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.919 or Campbell County. They're slapping ICE holders on them. So 258 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.000 when we're done with them, after we prosecute them and 259 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.960 convict them, we'll send them back to wherever they came from, 260 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.200 and they can commit their crimes down there, because I 261 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.559 know the taxpayers around northern Kentucky certainly don't want their 262 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.799 crime here. And what they also don't want is to 263 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:25.600 have to house them for a long time. Now if 264 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.679 they rape somebody, murder somebody, molest a child, but we'll 265 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.159 lock them up for a good long time and when 266 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.200 they get out then they can be deported. But a 267 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.600 lot of it is drunk drivers, drunk drivers that seem 268 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.679 to be crashing in the cars, people with fake or 269 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:44.159 fraudulent identification cards and drivers licenses. Nobody's driving around with 270 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.840 insurance if they are here in this country illegally because 271 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.159 they can't get their cars titled, so they can't get 272 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.240 insurance on their car. So if they drive drunk and 273 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:52.960 crash into your car, that means you have to turn 274 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.679 it into your insurance company. Your insurance policy payments go up, 275 00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.000 costs you and your family more money. That's more money 276 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.080 out of your pocket will and there's no way to 277 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.679 recoup it. Those are the people that we're seeing deported 278 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.159 on an a much more expedited basis than I've ever 279 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.720 seen before in any stage of my career. And it's 280 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:11.799 a welcome change. 281 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.320 And how about this from ICE officials. The one hundred 282 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.799 and thirteen arrested and detained by Ice in the Boone 283 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:20.960 County jail hundred and thirteen in January doesn't look much 284 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.799 different than the arrest in previous years, But seventy seven 285 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.080 percent of the one hundred and thirteen happened after January 286 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.919 the twentieth, So in like ten days, eleven days in 287 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.639 a month of January, you had almost one hundred people 288 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.559 detained in on the Kentucky as being here illegally with 289 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:38.639 criminal records, who otherwise would not have been detained. So 290 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.960 elections have consequences. 291 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.720 That's right. And you know, like I said, we've got 292 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.360 nine that we're in our detention center that now have 293 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.799 holders on them. And at the time of my meeting, 294 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.559 and that was two weeks ago, for the most part, 295 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:53.399 it was not this past Monday, but the Monday of 296 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.279 the week before when we had this meeting with ICE, 297 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.679 and there were nine. At that time, we probably had 298 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.960 five or six more illegals arrested in that time. Every 299 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.879 one of those we send the email of the ICE 300 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.559 letting him know, hey, this guy broke this law. He's 301 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.720 being prosecuted, he's in our detention center, and they are 302 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.120 quick to respond by slapping a holder on him so 303 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.000 that when they get convicted, once they've served their time, 304 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:17.159 whether that time is one year or one hundred years, 305 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.320 ICE will be there ready to load them up on 306 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.279 a plane and ship them back to wherever they should be. 307 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:23.000 In the first place. 308 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.960 And lastly, Joshua Baker driving at a high rate of 309 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.080 speed on January twenty seventh. Police believed him to be 310 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.720 a suspect who assaulted a woman during a home invasion. 311 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.679 They found out that Joshua Baker, who wedged himself under 312 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.919 the Brenchpnce Bridge, wasn't the person the police were looking for. 313 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.559 Does that cause a wrinkle in the prosecution of Joshua Baker, No. 314 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.360 Actually, Willie, I think there's been a little bit of 315 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.159 confusion there with the medium. There were two subjects that 316 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.080 were won in the home invasion robbery. One was josh 317 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.480 Baker and then there was this other guy, and the 318 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.559 police thought the other guy was driving the car that 319 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:58.000 turned out to be Josh Baker, the one he crashed 320 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:00.159 out on the bridge and jumped off the side out 321 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.039 of the bridge onto the steel beams and crawled underneath 322 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.200 the bridge. Became what we referred to as our bridge 323 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.360 trow a case. But Josh Baker was just as much 324 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.000 wanted to the home invasion robbery as this other fellow 325 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.240 by the name of James Haney. Both of them have 326 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.919 now been arrested. They caught James Haney a few days later, 327 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:19.840 both of them have been arrested, both of them have 328 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.120 been bound over the Kenton County Grand Jury. That this 329 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.240 happened this week, Josh Baker, we're finding out so many 330 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:27.919 crimes that he's being charged with so fast. It's hard 331 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.399 to keep up with Willie. But he's facing life in 332 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.200 prison on two different cases here in Kenton County, another 333 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.240 one I believe in Boone County, and I think Campbell 334 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.159 County might be looking at him for something over there 335 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.159 as well. Needless to say, he's exactly where he needs 336 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.720 to be, and that's in our Kenton County Detention Center 337 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.080 rather than wreaking any more havoc on our lovely Kenton 338 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.559 County and lovely Northern Kentucky for that matter, because he 339 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.799 was doing it all over Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties. 340 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.679 Sounds like you have some bad ombres. Well, let's continue 341 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.799 and I'll tell you what. Rob's happy. Valentine's Day has 342 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.320 been great, and picking up from Northern Kentucky my home 343 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.159 community is great. What I do ICE is getting their 344 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:09.679 job done. There's less marijuana, I think being used because 345 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:12.399 you now have something similar to medical marijuana. 346 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:13.360 And more to come later. 347 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.480 All of a sudden, the entire Tri State's going to 348 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.200 be stoned in one thing or another. But Rob Sanders, 349 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.240 thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show this 350 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:21.000 Friday afternoon. 351 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.639 And Rob, you're a great American.

Coming 358 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.480 up later is the first interview with Jim Tressel, the 359 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.879 new Lieutenant governor the vice president of the state of Ohio, 360 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.639 and we're going to find out why Governor Mike Dwine, 361 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.080 who was with us yesterday is picked Jim Tressel and 362 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:52.759 what it means for the Tri State, the nation of 363 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.320 the world. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred wlw AH, 364 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.399 Billy Cunningham, the Great American, of course, last night and 365 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.120 not Saturday, and maybe much longer than that. And That'sasha 366 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.240 Zubez of News Nation is blowing the lid off a 367 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.880 truly dirty secret in the Area fifty one. Now, I've 368 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:11.640 seen some of the movies what's going on in Area 369 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.240 fifty one? It's not good, But there's another aspect of it. 370 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.880 Air Force veterans, air Force personnel, patriots who guard the 371 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.799 very first death bomber with an Area fifty one all 372 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.519 have come away with something other than concerns such as 373 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:30.160 tumors and cancers. And first of all, Natasha Zuvez of 374 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.720 News Nation, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Natasha, 375 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.920 but kind of before we get started to the cancers, 376 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.519 you when you did all this research on Air Force 377 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:43.440 veterans like David Crete and Randy Groves and so many others, 378 00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:47.119 did they relate to you what actually is inside Area 379 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:50.000 fifty one in New Mexico. I've seen the movies. What's 380 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.599 in there? Did they tell you? Did they give you 381 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:52.279 any insight? 382 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.440 They still can't talk about ninety nine percent of the 383 00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:58.680 work they did out there on the range. I mean, 384 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.640 they are keeping their promise to their government, even if 385 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.480 their government they feel is renegging on their end of 386 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:07.119 the bargain. And you know, the one mission they can 387 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.640 disclose is guarding the F one seventeen Nighthawk America's first 388 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.680 stealth bomber, as you said, and you know Dave Crete, 389 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.880 one of these main veterans, said the late Senator John 390 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.519 McCain said something he will never forget about their service. 391 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.240 He says, he came up to me and he said, 392 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.319 your unit ended the Cold War. So if you need 393 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.720 any indication of the kind of work they were engaged 394 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:31.519 in out there on the range, I mean that says 395 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:31.880 a lot. 396 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.000 Explain what is the F one seventeen Nighthawk. What is 397 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.000 that piece of military equipment?
