7-31-25 Bill Cunningham Show

Willie discusses the downtown violence and Cincinnati Open with Western and Southern CEO John Barrett. Also Steve Goodin explains why the violence is a sign of poor city leadership. Finally Willie talks with the American people.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Billy Cunningham, the Great American, and welcome to somewhat rainy
Thursday afternoon in the Reds Baseball. What a dramatic win
last night, and Tony Benner wants to know how can
o Tony be on the mound and take it out
but he's still hit. We're gonna have to talk to
maybe Tommy Thrall about that later on. But nonetheless, the
first pitch about seven to ten, it should be clear
by then, and we go to the coverage at six ten.

(00:27):
The Braves are in town today and tomorrow, and then
on Saturday they play at Bristol Motor Speedway in the
in front of the largest crowd ever to see a
baseball game, like ninety thousand people. But until then, we
have a little problems in River City. Things aren't as
good as they possibly could be. Where the headline of
the New York Daily News, New York Post headline, and
Fox News and CNN's largely ignoring it. Playing a little bit,

(00:49):
but nonetheless one of the grand Ramsey's, the first or
the second, I call him Ramsey's. The second. Carl Lender
Junior was Ramsey's, the first help building the great city
of Cincinnati, is John Barrett, the CEO of Western Southern
and also heading up to three c DC head on
Steve Leeper the other day to talk about those circumstances.
But John Barrett, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show

(01:09):
and is one of the leaders of our town. How
do you process what's happened the past four or five days?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Hello, Willie.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Great to be on.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
It's obviously of deep concern. It's deep concern to all
of us who love our city, and this is not
this is not us.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
We don't want to behave like a Chicago.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
We're a different city, and this is this is hopefully
going to be a short lived issue that we can
get over, bring the folks to justice, and move on.
That's that's my hope. But again, things have a way
of as they say, Cincinnati, things happened a little bit

(01:52):
later than they do elsewhere. I hope, we're hope we're
not five years by the times in more ways and white,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
After the April one riots, Charlie Lucan and I walked
up and down Vine Street and he told me a
vision and then you and others got leaper out of
Pittsburgh and said wait a minute, we're gonna revitalize OTR.
And everyone said at the time, good luck. And the
CBD was a central business district, wasn't of the best shape.
Otherwise we going went through about twenty years and now

(02:19):
Brownstones and OTR sell for one point four million dollars
TQL anchors. One side got the Bengals. And by the way,
there was a shooting this morning about five a m.
Out in front of the Bengals practice facility. They're in
the bubble this afternoon. The guy was shot in the back.
We're gonna have twenty thousand shots fired this year in
the city of Cincinnati. We're gonna have four hundred people wounded,

(02:41):
seventy to eighty are going to be killed. We're gonna
have about twenty five thousand crimes committed. And I have
a census as Cincinnati and as you are born and bred,
that we're back to the good old days of twenty
years ago where the town's got in the publicity. Negatively,
that cannot be cannot be repeated again. Do you have
a long term concern that we have the wrong leadership

(03:02):
in the city of Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Willie, I would just say that now is the time
for a stronger law and order push. We've been, you know,
very lais faire and the stuff. It's time that we
we look at ourselves and say, safe streets are a must.
Safe have people feeling safe is a must. And I'm

(03:27):
sure we're going to get there. I hope we can
get there quickly.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
We have.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Joe Dieters used to say, if I could keep one
hundred habitual criminals locked up, I could knock the I
could knock the crime rate by fifty percent. You cannot
let a guy out of jail. I was a four
thousand dollars bond. He puts up four hundred bucks, right, yea,
and then then he's part of the of the beat

(03:53):
down that that's just unacceptable and our judges have to
wake up. We've fanta see change in the election politics
of our area, not just the city but the county two. Well,
now is the time for them to step up and deliver.
So the challenge is there. Hopefully they'll step up and deliver.

(04:13):
They were elected and appointed to lead. We want them
to lead.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's important.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
This is a small tidbit, and I'm not trying to
pat Western Southern on the back, but about thirty five
years ago, I was pretty new in town. I was
up in Joe Pittler's office at the Kroger Building and
he said, you know, John, I'll bet we're the only
fortune five hundred and a company in the country. It's
just on the edge of a blighted area like this.

(04:42):
For one that's really not true. But so simultaneous with that,
my boss, Bill Williams, said, John, let's do something nice
for the city. So we had hired a guy from
New York City, Mario San Marco, whom I had worked
with when I lived there, and he had gone to
pat Universe, see about a mile from from Wall Street,

(05:03):
and the area between those two places was a blighted
area that had come back, and it came back the
way Main Street did in Cincinnati sweat equity, and we said,
let's take a shot here. So we bought the two
toughest blocks south of Liberty and over the Rhine that
had been walled up between twelfth and fourteenth, redeveloped it
completely and we were often running, and we redeveloped trash

(05:29):
housing into low income housing.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Its quality.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
The city has recently asked us if we would upgrade
it to more market rate stuff because the demand was
there and they wanted to, you know, continue to progress and.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Over the Rhine.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
So we were architects of the Over the Rhine Renaissance.
We are concerned that the local people will stop supporting
over the Rhine if it's safe, and so we've been
pushing hard to improve the safety. I know others share
our concerns that way. We just got to get some

(06:05):
action here. We don't have enough uniform police on the streets, yes,
and we've got to do something about that.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
And we can well, you know, we're down two to
three hundred cops and you want to hire young twenty
five to thirty year old cops who are going to
be on the street actually able to chase down run.
And when you talk about Joe Dieters, it couldn't be
a better comment made that the great majority of African Americans,
white Americans, whatever, have nothing to do with crime. At
the so called music festival, there was eighty five thousand

(06:37):
people there and we're talking about behavior maybe one hundred.
But when that is identified as a problem and you
have a city leader say I'm talking about Victoria Parks,
it's actually a city leader saying quote they beg for
that beatdown quote unquote, and I thought, okay, I don't
know her. Well, maybe you know her better than I do.
Victoria Parks on City Council elected. I thought, okay, maybe

(07:00):
she had a bad day. And Curtis Fuller, a Channel
five called her and she said, no, that that's what
I believe. That they they, whoever they is, beg for
the beatdown. Is that the kind of leader we need.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Well, I don't know her myself, Willie, but I was
a little bit shocked by that response. And I don't
think most people feel that way. It's a shame the
politics of our country has gone so crazy, you know,
just crazy. We need regular people who have regular jobs

(07:34):
and normal lives to be the people who run the
city in this country.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
We don't need.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
We don't need, you know, loudmouthse And I think at
the end of the day, what we've got to have
is the Business Committee will work hand in glove with
the city leaders to help us fix downtown. They already
are and many medias are going on right now, Willie,
all over the sea, at all levels. So let's see

(08:02):
if we can't coalesce into some really good action that
supports each other, and we've got to have help from
the court system. Yeah, we have help from the appointed
and the elected officials, and everyone has to do his
or her job.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
I spoke to most of the restaurant tours who signed
that letter about three or four days ago. It was
signed by Britney Ruby Miller, and also I talked to
four or five others. At night. They have to have
armed guards walk their younger employees of the parking lot.
Customers who have left downtown restaurants have been beaten. I

(08:42):
think a good friend of both of ours, I don't
want to mention his name was had dinner at Ruby's
walk down the river to like eight o'clock, came back
up four guys and they got the crap kicked out
of them, and we got more shootings taking place almost daily.
Is it fair to say that things have been tried
in law enforcement up to this point have not worked,
and that we need to go in a new and

(09:03):
different direction.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
I think that's fair, Willie, And I think if people
realize there is force behind their behavior, if it's bad,
they behave better.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
They do well.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
And this one case of this one gentleman, he's a
career criminal. He was charged with aggravated robbery gun use
and convicted. He goes in front of Judge Mallory who
gives him a four hundred dollars bond. About two weeks
ago he gets out and he was part of the
group that was, shall we say, kicking the crap out
of these tourists, and I understand their tourists. And now

(09:39):
he's got a five hundred thousand dollars bond because there
was one judge on the bench that particular day that
has more of a conservative viewpoint. Unfortunately, it's going to
get to Common Police Court where about half the judges
don't think people should be locked up and prisoned at
all for historical reasons or whatever. And when I had
Mike the Wine on yesterday, the governor had a five
part plan one, two, three, four five, And to his credit,

(10:02):
the governor said on the air that they have to
have Puerival has bought into this, and there's also a
sense that other people in the city have not bought
into it in positions of leadership. And the five part
plan includes the highway patrol coming here in order to
take over traffic responsibilities so that the regular beat cops
can hunt down the one to two hundred people they

(10:23):
need to be locked up, and if those things happen,
that would be a positive. But I think it's fair
to say that those of us and you also have
more of a national, international perspective. When you talk to
those who live in Boone County, Butler County, Claremont County,
they say they're not going downtown. Well I'm not. I'm
not going to put up with that. What does John

(10:44):
Barrett say to those who live outside of Cincinnati that
can you say today, John Barrett, that Cincinnati is safe.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
I'm gonna say it will be safe, and I'm going
to say it will be sooner than sooner than you think.
A number of the companies will have their security in
their companies take care of their neighborhoods. That's that's in
the cards and it's going to happen shortly, which will
help the Beat police. Obviously, when they move people from

(11:16):
over the Rhine to cover a music festival, they leave
over the Rne vulnerable. So we need more folks, more
police presence. The presence of police reminds people that there
could be consequences if I misbehave.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Sequence.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah, and that's the key and so I think you're
going to have a very spirited election coming up, and
a lot of people who might have voted one way
just for traditional whatever are going to be looking for
a little bit firmer commitment from their political leaders about

(11:57):
the future of our city. And really importantly, we're here
pushing hard to bring jobs, people, college graduates to Cincinnati,
researches to the UC pil Hill Corridor there, all that stuff.
We don't want them to reject us out of hand
before they ever come and see us because of what

(12:19):
they've heard. And if you remember, with Timothy Thomas, we
did a whole really really hard work to get everything
is sort of resorted out and make sure that we
were able.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
To live that down.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
This is that type of magnitude of an event again,
and it's been published everywhere, and I think we need
firm action now and we have to stick with it.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Have you have you spoken to Mayor Pirrival?

Speaker 4 (12:52):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
He's coming back into town sometime soon. I could not
imagine that Western Southern is in near total collapse in
John Barrett is on vacation in Canada, but that's a
different story. I had dinner last night at Blinkers which
is a fine facility in Covington, and one of the
leaders of Kent County tell me, look, Barrett's got a
police department. Carter has a police department, Prouctern, Gamble has

(13:16):
a police department. Joseph Schevrolet Downtown they have security guards,
buildings have security guards. Everyone has the private police department.
He said, we don't have that here. We have Covington
Police and they know that we will back them up.
And so he said, I'm not going to Cincinnati for
a while until things calm down, because unless I'm with
Western and Southern or P and G or Fifth Third Bank,

(13:38):
or with private security guards, I don't trust the city police,
led by the current leadership, to keep me safe. And
there's numerous examples of that. So for those who say, well,
if you're John Barrett, you're good, But if you're a
Tony Bender from Boone County, I'm not going downtown Cincinnati.
What would you say to those of those who have
those concerns, I.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Would say there's been a high heightened.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Fear of the crime and whatnot.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
And so in response, there's also been a heightened responsibility
the part of the police department to be more evident
and available. I would think town will be safer now
than it has been for a while.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
That'd be my thought.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Well, John, let's hope. All we have is hope. I mean,
it happened. I look at New York City, and you
know about New York City after David Dinkins complete disaster,
and then Rudy came in and Bloomberg and the city
turned around, and we turned around for like twenty years.
And people don't want to go back to those kind
of days that.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Existed, Willie.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
I lived there then, and what Giuliani did was thought
to be impossible.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, but it worked.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
It worked. And you know people's rights to carry guns
without they got to have a permit. All these people
were armed down here everywhere now and it's not good.
But you can't do away with guns. There's over you
have them out there. You have to do away with
the way people use them, where they take them, and

(15:06):
how they use them. And twelve and fourteen year olds
with guns is just totally unacceptable.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
And we need a functional school system, John, you know
the CPS. Many of my friends in Cincinnati tell me
the school system is so bad. I pay high taxes
and can't benefit my children by sending him to a
public school where twenty five percent of the student body
is chronically absent. And I don't know how you start
in the first grade, second rate, or third grade saying
you've got to come to school. Parents must be held

(15:32):
to account. There's something called truancy and something called vagrancy.
There's something called that you have to go to school,
and that doesn't happen, and it's just an endemic problem.
But at the end of the day, the cops deal
with the end of the line. They don't begin at
the beginning of the line, which is a completely dysfunctional
school system. But well, John, one last question. You got
the tennis tournaments coming up August fifth. I mean, I

(15:54):
can't believe it's already here. So can you give us
a capsule of what tennis fans and Mason going to
find when they go to the Cincinnati Open sponsored by you.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
They're going to be blown away by the facilities. One
hundred million bucks or more has been poured into it
last year. There are many more courts, many more venues,
there will be much more activity. It's going to be
a real, really good show. And I unfortunately noticed that

(16:26):
a bunch of players pulled out of the Toronto tournament
resting up for this one good that's important. We're one
of the Big nine. And if they have an All
Star game every year in your city, it's unreal. And
that's what this is. This is the best human beings
who can play tennis playing here. And the guy who

(16:48):
purchased a tournament is more than just a heavily endowed
guy self made. His daughter is the number eight woman
player in the world, and he's all in. We lucked out,
and he put a very good guy from Charlotte in

(17:09):
here to run the tournament, and he's got a house
in Mason. And these guys are they are adapting to
our city very very well, and I think they are
delaying with the decision they made to spend all that
money here.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
John Barrett, thanks for coming on, and I'm encouraged by
what you're saying. But the buy in must be from
Mayor Purival, Cheryl Long, Chief Fiji and the rank and file.
And the rank and file I know has zero respect
for the leadership of the city of Cincinnati. Zero respect.
When you talk to cops on the beat, they just

(17:45):
roll their eyes at what's happening and things fish brought
from the head first, and if we don't have the
right political leadership in the city of Cincinnati. Council members
like Victoria Park said, quote they beg for that beat down.
I don't know how you overcome that level of ignorance
by a city leader. And you can throw yes early

(18:06):
in the match too.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
There's a ballot box, and that's where.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
You overcome it.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
John Barrett, you're a great American. Thanks for coming on
the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, John.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Thanks Willy god blease me.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Let's continue with more. There's the classic comment, a ballot box,
what a novel concept. If you want change, you have
to be the change by changing the leadership of this
town to reflect not the viewpoints of quote they beg
for that beatdown, but law and order and mainly judges
have got to realize their role in the process and
the beat cop Bill Cunningham, these Radio seven hundred WLW,

(18:43):
Now Billy Cunningham. The Great American River City continues. The
old Man River just keeps on flowing. And just when
you think things cannot get more absurd, council members are
now opening their mouths. They're weigh in on this issue
and When I first read this, as I said to
John Barrett, thought maybe this was a mistake, maybe the
account was hacked. Victoria Parks has elected a council long

(19:07):
term Democratic activist. She's in her late sixties, been around
a long time, worked for a taught upportune for a
long time, did other things socially in the city of Cincinnati.
And she runs for council of course, gets elected by
a wide margin, not even close, and gives few interviews,
doesn't go out in the public very much. She simply

(19:30):
is that kind of a loyal democratic activist that they
put in charge of the city, and city council member
is facing backlash all over the world. It was the
lead story on Fox News even this morning and last night.
CNN didn't cover it much. It doesn't fit their view
of the world. But she made comments about the violent fight.

(19:51):
It wasn't a fight. It was a brutal assault. It
was a beatdown that took place on Saturday morning, Friday
night in the city of Cincinnati, and three people have
been arrested. A fourth may be arrested in the next
hour or two, I'm told. And of course the media
has reached out to Parks for comments. She said, no,
not all. I'm not going to talk except to Curtis Fuller,

(20:12):
which she did. She said, they begged for that beatdown
quote unquote, they begged for that beatdown. If you go
to my ex account and Senator Marino and others have
photos of the woman's beat down. She looks like she
spent about ten rounds with Mike Tyson in his prime.
Facial injuries never going to recover properly, et cetera. Also

(20:36):
brain difficulties. It's awful. And so it was thought, okay, well,
she really didn't mean that the victims of this horrible
assault beg for that to happen. Who can think such things?
But the answer is Victoria Parks. She thinks such things,
then she expresses them. So I thought, okay, every now

(20:57):
and then on X, I may say something in temperate
but nonetheless I want to revise and extend my remarks.
Not Victoria Parks. She said that Curtis Fuller, Yes, she
said that, and yes she stands behind that statement. Baadoun
bada bing bought a bang. Yes, yes, yes I think
that that man and that woman. What did the woman

(21:17):
have to do with any of this other than that
thing is a good samaritan that she begged for that
beatdown and she got it. Wow. To her credit Mika Owens,
I've never met another council member has said that making
comments like that in flame a violent incident is never acceptable.
I give credit for Mika Owens, she has more lucid

(21:39):
moments than many. But had someone asked me, what does
this mean for Victoria Parks? Is she going to step
down from council? Absolutely not. It's a paycheck. This is
the end of July. She is not going to run
for reelection. She has a nice fat pension coming her way,
so why go through another two years of this BS

(22:01):
She simply said, I'm not going to run for another term.
But that is illustrative of the problem. I said to
John Barrett that when you're the leader of the city
that supposedly was elected to lead, he's the chief executive
officer of the City of Cincinnati, a multi billion dollar corporation,
he said, metro sexual, metro sexual. Look up the definition

(22:24):
a f tab pyrival is a metrosexual. When things happen
on your watch, the first thing to do is show up.
That would be helpful. You got to be here. And secondly,
take decisive action. Well, I'm reading a story in the
Inquir dated yesterday from Scott Wortman. Where's af tab pyrival
Cincinnati mayor answers where he's been his fight videos go viral.

(22:49):
Puerre of Aal said he found out about the fight
before he left for his trip. On July twenty sixth,
Pure of All is in Vancouver on a long planned
family vacation, he told the inquir and then he holds
up his five year old son as an excuse. Decided
to take the trip because it was the last time
he could take a family vacation before his five year
old boy starts kindergarten. Well, the weekend he left, having

(23:15):
have this fight already percolating. He knew that the music
festival was going to happen on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
That was set a year ago. He knew that the
Big Three basketball tournament was going to be a Harriage
Bank arena, because after all, that was set about six
months ago in which my good friend Ice Cube, who

(23:37):
I continued to talk with, was the headquarter of that.
And to head on top of that, the Reds are
in town against Tampa and I don't know. Was one
hundred thousand people there for the Reds game. So the
mayor schedules a vacation when he's out of town during
the music festival in the aftermath, during the Red Space

(24:00):
Ball with the Tampa Bay Raised in town as well
as the Dodgers and the Big Three tournament. So the
mayor decides to leave, and the reason he left was
to spend time with his five year old son. Well,
when he took the oath of office, when he's the
chief executive officer of an enterprise, things happened publicly that
you took an oath to take on that may impact

(24:22):
your private life. Am I right or wrong about this?
Of course right or wrong. Unfortunately, he bought this thing,
he took it on. It was his job. He left
the city in the hands of the city manager, the
police chief, and individuals like Victoria Parks, and of course
Iris Rowley who works for the city, and she has
said similar things to what Victoria Parks has said. So

(24:47):
he left the city in the hands of Cheryl Long,
the city manager, who's a complete incompetent, in the hands
of Chief of Police Thieji, and as I said before,
she's been here a long time. She's a Westsider Fiji,
always been a cop or families or cops. She had
a terrible news conference, terrible, awful blaming the media and

(25:08):
video for putting the city in a bad light when
the city cops were demoralized and diminished, and then also
a city council of Victoria, parks and others. Those are
the ones in charge. And as John Barrett said, we
get what we deserve. As Kamala Harris said, when you
vote someone, you order something, and this is what you get,

(25:31):
and this is what you get. In this case, we
get aft to have pureval the metrosexual mayor who was
holding up his job as an excuse not to do
his job, to be absent. You don't schedule an appoint
you don't schedule a long vacation with these events happening
in your city. This was obviously going to be the
busiest weekend in Cincinnati of the year, with the hundreds

(25:53):
of thousands of people here. What can go wrong? Well,
a lot, and it went wrong. But something in the
back of my mind also reverberates in my head like
a bb in an empty railroad box car, and that
is this that African American Monday or Tuesday on Facebook
had of posting that you don't care about this happening

(26:16):
to black folks all the time, but when it happens
to somebody white, then you care. Let's unwrap that one.
According to I have a guest coming up after one
o'clock today who runs the Charter Committee in the City
of Cincinnati, and he, Steve Gooden, has the videos of
similar fights happening in Winton Hills suburbs of Cincinnati, in

(26:39):
the city of Cincinnati all the time. He has the
videos of what happens on street takeovers in Ludlow Avenue,
a couple of blocks from the Mayor's house in which
Ludlow Avenue is shut down. We have all the videos
from the banks, including this morning about four point thirty am,
when someone's walking out in front of the Bengals practice
bubble and gets shot in the back. And we hope

(27:01):
that person survives. And so if the black community believes
what we saw in the video is happening in their
streets and out their front door all the time, does
a light go on to say, you know what, I'm
going to vote out of office the individuals who have
the policies in effect causing such things to take place.

(27:22):
I'm going to change the way I'm thinking about life
because we can't live like this anymore. And I would
hope that would happen at the ballot box in about
ninety days. I'll bet I'll bet anyone a hot fudg
Sunday that Mayor Purival, despite his failures and his incompetence,
will be re elected. If you want to make a

(27:43):
bet with me, raise your hand. I'm taking after pure
of all, and I'll give you Corey Bowman Man. All right,
we got the bets. I know who bet it, and
I'm not saying if I could vote in the city,
I'd vote for Corey in a heartbeat. You got to
have changed. Nothing changes until you cause it to change.
But the Democratic Party is so strong in the city

(28:06):
of Cincinnati, and that blue ballot is so impervious that
simply look at the blue ballot, walk in undregiment it,
go to Norwood, stand in line and vote, vote, vote,
vote Democrat. How does anybody in the right mind say
to f to have Pirival. You've done a great job
as mayor the last four years. Hell, we need more
of this. Let's keep it going. Manness. Play it over again,

(28:29):
Let's make it happen. And look at the council members.
I think seven or eight are running for reelection. They've
done such a great job. We gotta play this back.
This is good stuff. And how do you go to
the Board of Education, which is presiding over the collapse
of public education at CPS, and say, you know what,
we need more of those We need those individuals back

(28:52):
in charge. You get the government that you deserve. And
if the statements that I tend to think they are accurate,
that the black neighborhoods are in complete collapse with rampant
drug use, open marijuana smoking, that car break ins, car theft's,
the bocherous misbehavior happening, homelessness, garbage in the streets. And

(29:13):
if that's happening in the black community, and you want
to keep voting for the individuals whose policies calls that
to occur, have at it.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
You know.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
I do these national shows and I'm with Hannity later
today and he says, what the hell's going on in
Cincinnati beginning to look like New York or Chicago? Chicago
had a chance with Lori Lightfoot four years completing competent,
and instead of getting someone who was a Democrat by
the way running, they put Brandon Johnson, who's to the

(29:44):
left of Lorie Lightfoot, in charge of Chicago. And he
blatantly says that he hires black people, doesn't want to
hire white people. That's illegal. But it's flat out there.
So we don't. As John Barrett said, we don't want
to become Chicago. The restaurant tours have told me, we
don't want to become Louisville, downtown Louisville. We don't want

(30:05):
to become Memphis, downtown Memphis. We don't want to become
downtown Saint Louis or downtown Cleveland because the team the
Browns are leaving downtown Cleveland to go out to brook
Park and in the southern aspect of Cuyahoga County. They
don't want that, I know, but you don't do the
same thing anticipating a different result. And the ballot box

(30:28):
is open, there's going to be five charter rights running
black and white and male and female. A great city experience,
and I'm sure when the mayor deems it required for
him to come back from his vacation set at a
terrible time, by the way, a long term vacation, long
term set should not have been set when the music festival,

(30:51):
the Reds are in town, the Big Three tournament, that's
the worst time to go, and so be it. And
then you hold up your five year old son as
an excuse for your non performance. That is really despicable.
To blame your incompetence on the demands of your five
year old innocent son. Does How does a f tab
quack quack quack remember him when he ran for Clerk
of Courts he had the af whlack duck running around

(31:14):
quack quack quack. That's af Tab, the metrosexual mayor. And
so to say, you know, I would have been there,
except my five year old son wanted to go to
Canada and meet Justin Trudeau. What he wanted to be
with his son. Well, you can be with your son here.
But when don't schedule the trip when all these events
are happening in Cincinnati, when you're the chief executive officer,

(31:36):
don't do it. It's like the Reds having a World
Series game and Tito Francona said, you know what, I'm
taking a vacation, got the World Series coming here. But
I'm busy and I got to I got to visit
some and leave. Or John Barrett if Westerman and Southern
was in complete collapse, I asked, John, would you leave
to know? I wouldn't if I was somewhere, I'd come back.
That this is his main priority. He signed up for this,

(31:59):
he said he would lead, and he has misled the
city into a nationwide disgrace. And him and Victoria Parks
and Sheryl Long and others are the ones responsible. How
do you leave the city and say to your city
manager or your police chief and Victoria Parks and Irish roly, Okay, ladies,
you're in charge. Make it happen, and I'll be available

(32:21):
by Skype and you get what you deserve to. I
anticipate that the voters of Cincinnati will say, we can't
live like this anymore, we want to go a different direction.
I really don't anticipate it's going to take place. Hasn't
happened in Chicago, hadn't happened in Saint Louis, or Land
or Washington, d C. Hadn't happened in Portland or San Francisco.

(32:41):
Why would Cincinnati be any different? Because the voters accept
incompetence and they want more of it. And actually, I
think a good chunk of the black community think exactly
the way Victoria Parks is thinking. Which is the only
reason you care about this is because the people effected
were white. They were black, you wouldn't. I can only
imagine if a bunch of redneck, white Trump wearing hat

(33:03):
Republicans would beat the crap out of four or five
black people, including a woman, putting her in the hospital
with those injuries, I can only imagine Benjamin Crump and
Al Sharpton would be here on the next flight. But
because the opposite is true, it is ignored and diminished
by the leadership of this town. Let's continue after one

(33:25):
o'clock today will be Steve Gooden will be here as
from the Charter I Committee to talk about what's happening
with that and so much more. Plus the tennis tournament
starts on Tuesday of next week, and also the Reds
are in town tonight and tomorrow and then off to
Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday for an event that'll be
the most highly attended baseball game in the history between

(33:48):
the Reds and the Braves. By the way, the braves
really stink. But just think about it. Are you happy
with the way the public school system in Cincinnati and
the city council and mayor have done their Are you
happy with that? The answer, of course is nobody's happy
eighty five percent. I'm not happy. Then why don't you
vote to change it? And don't blame others for your

(34:08):
own inadequacies. Don't blame others because the way you live
your life change. Let's continue twelve fifty six Homing your
Red's News Radio seven hundred WW Billy Cunningham, the great American.
Of course, the comments of one of our great city leaders,

(34:31):
Victoria Parks, continue to reverberate. Quote they beg for that
beat down. And many times I recall an old saying
that it's better to keep your mouth shut to let
people wonder how stupid you are, rather than to open
up your mouth and dispel all doubts. And now, in
Victoria Park's case, I don't think I've ever met her.
I know who she is. Of course. She worked for

(34:51):
twenty years with Todd portun Todd Opportune as a city
council member and then a commissioner as the chief of staff,
and then she came out on our own and it's
running and a city leader said that the woman whose
pictures all over the internet begged for that to happen
to her, And of course, so we have difficulties. And
then about an hour ago we had on John Barrett
from Western and Southern talking about what has to be

(35:13):
done in the city. He said, the time is nigh,
this is a DevCon five situation, and we have difficulties.
The mayor continues to be in Canada, and of course
you can't criticize him because he's on a vacation with
his son and he's got to be a father and
a husband's but he's got to be the mayor too.
And things happen in your private life that has at
times take a back seat to when the election, when

(35:35):
the city's in turmoil and then collapse. You sign on
for this gig, but the F tab pure revolve from
the f You might recall F tabs Duck is quack
and quack quank quank when he ran for clerk. Of
course that's a different issue. Joining you and I now
is Steve Gooden, who's a member of Head of the
Charter Right Committee. And Steve Gooden Welcome again to the
Bill Cunningham Show. And Steve, how do you process the

(35:56):
comments of Victoria Parks, the fact that the mayor tenues
to be absent, the idea that this morning, about five
o'clock before the Bengals walked across the Marring Way to
go into the bubble because of the rain, that some
guy was shot in the back and transported to UC
And right now the restaurant tours have sent out a
missive saying we can't live like this anymore. How does

(36:17):
Steve Gooden of the Charter I Committee process on this?

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Well, we hate to say we told you so, but
we told you so. Okay, this has been in the
workings or in the makings for the last four or
five years, you know, all since post COVID. This the
last couple of city councils, really this city council and
this mayor. They repealed the loitering laws. They let the
streets go into a horrible state. They quit taking down graffiti,

(36:45):
they quit enforcing pot smoking outside, they quit the enforcing again,
repealed loitering. So the streets have been getting lawless and
chaotic four years. It's just finally reached a boiling point.
Where now you can't and I had anymore. And thanks
to social media and people's phones, these moments are being recorded.

(37:05):
It's not just downtown. I have stuff on my phone
that from Winton Hills. There's a fight that broke out
there last week that makes the one downtown look like nothing.
It just hasn't, you know. And there's guns involved and
it's all out there. This has been going on for
a long time. They have let these basic quality of
life things go and now it's lawless. And you see
it in these responses like what you know, Victoria Parks said,

(37:27):
you know, I've dealt with Victoria. She's a sensible person.
That spouting off like that, she's totally they're not taking
their role as leaders seriously. And a lot of folks say, well,
the defining moment is that photo of the woman being
attacked downtown. I think the defining moment of this whole
moment is that weird picture of Aftab from Canada up
there with Justin Trudeau probably wearing his little headphones talking

(37:51):
to that group of citizens downtown on a zoom meeting.
That's the defining moment to me. That just smells a
failure and not take things seriously, not taking your job seriously.
This is uh. You know, Cincinnati is the economic center
of a metro region with three point two million people.
It's the twenty fourth biggest metro region in the United States,

(38:11):
and the city council's treating it like student council and
it's a disaster.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Well, when I think about responsibilities leading a large organization,
and uh, you never always everyone's great to cut a
ribbon and to give a little speech and about how
good things are. But when leaders, when when the when
the when the fit hits the shan when all hell
is breaking loose, and and the chief of police is
saying that the problem here is that someone has a

(38:38):
video showing what happened and that makes the police look bad.
That's the chief of police. God bless her Thiji I.
You know, she's a Cincinnatian like the other one. She
was born and raised here. Her family has deep roots.
But the chief of police is blaming the media and
the video for making publics those facts you have, you

(38:59):
have the The person in charge of the city is
on a vacation and he's skyping in and says, I
may come back early. But the excuse for leaving his
job is because I have a five year old son
going to school in a week or two and I
got to go to Canada, and then he skypes in
and then refuses to take questions. And then you have

(39:19):
a city manager Sharyl Long, who failed miserably a North
College Hill hired to run a multi billion dollar operation.
So look at the Aftab pureval, the duck quack quack
quack Aftab. I'm looking at him. I'm looking at Sharyl Long,
who's completely overwhelmed. And the police chief is talking about
the media is the problem, and I'm thinking, wait a minute,

(39:41):
the problem is for the last four or five years,
we've stopped enforcing traffic laws, we stopped enforcing criminal statutes.
And I referenced this yesterday with the governor that I
had a very dignified elected official of female with two
of our female buddies, both in their in their sixties
and early seventies, that had the temerity to go to

(40:03):
music hall to watch I think Fiddler on the Roof
and they felt so unsafe and they came out of
there and left the play early to get out of
Dodge before before it was dark. They had difficulties walking
across Washington park and not going to do it again.
I talked to restaurant owners who say, we have to
hire private security guards to walk our personnel to their

(40:24):
parking lot at midnight at one o'clock in the morning.
We have customers canceling reservations in Cincinnati, and the shootings
twenty thousand shots fired, We have going to have four
hundred people wounded in the city of Cincinnati, and the
mayor is on a skype call from Canada justifying it
because his son wants to see Canada, and who's five

(40:47):
years old. If I pictured this correctly, Steve Gooden that
we got problems now, and this leadership team has no clue,
and because if they had a clue what was going on,
they would have fixed it. There's no sense by the
men and women in blue, the cops that those three
people know have a clue what they're doing. And I
fear that come the ballot box in ninety days, the

(41:08):
same crew is going to be elected. The four or
five that went to federal prison were replaced by four
or five others, and they have no clue what they're doing.
Can you smell when I'm cooking?

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Well, my god, we've been saying this well among the
target party. Anyway, four years we've been trying to call
attention to these basic quality of life issues, like you're
absolutely correct, they don't enforce the law anymore. The rank
and file police officers are demoralized, they're upset. They know
they're not you know, they know they're not allowed to

(41:39):
do their job and the way that it needs to
be done they're doing. They don't even have laws to
enforce half the time. And really, I mean, the way
I look at it is we're being governed as a mayor.
We've got a mayor from the suburbs of Beaver Creek,
Ohio whose only real experience with government stuff he learned
in a college class at a higher state universe fifteen

(42:00):
years ago. Said that's what those are the ideas that
he's bringing to the table. No practical experience, no business experience, nothing,
And we stand to see the billions of dollars of
positive development, economic development we've seen in downtown and over
the Rhine. It is all at risk right now. And
I get a lot of grief for saying that, because

(42:21):
people think, well, that's you're you're talking bad about the city,
or you know, you should be We should be out
there like the team for Commerce with this raw rack
kind of kind of garbage. But the facts are the facts,
and that's one of the reasons I've lost confidence in
the chief because if she spent more time dealing with
what's happening on the street rather than criticizing people who
are reporting it and revealing it, we'd have a much

(42:42):
better city.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
On Monday afternoon, I saw a Facebook posting of a
black gentleman who said, you don't care about us until
someone white gets beat down. This happens to us all
the time. So I'm thinking, okay, So if what happened
in Wintenhill, what happened on Ludlow Avenue, what's happened at
the banks, what happened to these tourists and down to

(43:06):
If that kind of behavior is happening all the time
to black men and black women in the black community,
which this guy said happens all the time, which is
why there's going to be thirty thousand crimes committed in
the city of Cincinnati this year. If that's the case,
what isn't the African American community arises one and say,
look how we treat each other. Look at the collapse
of our public school system. Look at the face of

(43:28):
crime in Cincinnati is a young black male face. Look
at the justice center who's in the actual prison. It
is us that I do care about you. But he's
making the point this is racial because we don't care
until a black woman has the crap kicked out of her.
And this is somewhat circutitest because I do care about
African Americans living in these diet tribes that Winton Hills

(43:52):
and Evandale and Evanston, where crime is rampant, and this
happens to them all the time. And I'm thinking it
happens to you all the time. How about getting rid
of the failure of the politicians that cause the policies
that result in the crime happening in your community. Why
don't you clean up your own mess? Am I wrong
about this?

Speaker 3 (44:10):
You're not wrong at all. And I'll tell you I
think if the election were held today, they'd all be
voted out. But what's going to happen, and we already
know it because we see it on their social media
channels and what they're saying online and in the media,
that the Democratic Party will go out and paint anybody
who dares all for more policing. Who dares focus on

(44:31):
quality of life issues, and they're going to paint every
one of us as racist nimbis is which is a
kind of a code word for racist right now saying
we want to bring back racial profiling and stopping risk
and all these things. I don't think it's going to
work this year because you know, we've got a lot
at the Charter Committee, We've got a lot of folks,
we've got a lot of representation on our committee that

(44:52):
are from these neighborhoods, and we have been in touch
with this situation all along, and I'm telling you, I
think this might be the year that it might not
break through. But that's the thing. If you criticize, you
try to raise these issues, you are painted immediately in
the campaign literature as a racist or someone who is

(45:13):
encouraging race based policing. That's not true, but that's that's
what they're going to do. We know what we've seen
it before. It's worked, that's worked when I was involved.
Yet the important you see it in politics.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
You know when when Judge Mallory and Judge Mallory, Bill
Mallory is a good guy. I like him. He served
on the bench with my wife. Internally, he's well liked
when he can look at someone who's committed armed robberies
in the past, with an extensive criminal record, and look
at him and give him a four hundred dollars cash bond.
Now go out and beat up and rob more people.

(45:47):
There's something missing, And I try. I've always tried not
to make it racial or political, because crime should be
based upon behavior and not race. But it appears whether
you're Irish or Victoria Parks, this is they're snickering at this,
saying this is not a big deal. And the only way,

(46:08):
the only way the media cares is because a white
person was beaten up this time, or several white people
were beaten up, And we get beaten up all the
time by by our own and we just take the
punch and Virus Roley and Victoria Parks represents I fear
the real underlying viewpoint of the black voter. Am I wrong?

Speaker 3 (46:30):
You know? I think you're wrong in part. Now I'll
tell you, you know, if you go over and listen
to the buzz, which I do, and go on that program,
which I sometimes get to do. There are definitely people
in the black community that feel that way, and there's
to a certain extent, I don't blame them because they're
They're right, These black on black crime doesn't get the
media attention it should, certainly locally. I mean, again, as

(46:51):
I've said, there are things, there are videos that I
have that people have sent to me from witten Hills,
particularly in the last few weeks, that make what happened
here downtown look like a small skirmish. I mean, there
are some awful things that happen that don't get even
local attention, much less the kind of national attention this guy.
So I understand the cynicism, but what I would say
to these folks is, look, you've been voting Democrats into

(47:15):
city at city Hall for nearly fifty years. Now, where
has it gotten you? Where has it gotten you? You're you're
just voting for the same sort of people over and over.
We stay they're going to be sensitive to these concerns,
and nothing happens. And in fact, you know, the policing,
you know, the lack of policing. I mean, we're now
hearing about it from neighborhoods like mine up in Clifton.

(47:35):
You know, those folks have really woken you know, awakened
over the last couple of years to this situation. But
there are voices in the black neighborhoods. You've been calling
out for this for years, people like Peterson Mingo, you know,
and others who have been saying for years from the
Black chearch pullpits, we have to make peace with the
police officers. We need them because we are losing lives

(47:56):
and people's and even the folks who are who are
not dying from these assaults are living with trauma and
can't really join the workforce because of injuries and trauma
and the things that they've witnessed and so forth. So
I do think the tide is turning, but you're right there,
cyticism is very much out there, and that's something we
just have to deal with. That on.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
If you're a street cop, and I've seen some videos
out of Winton Hills and also Ludlow Avenue in front
of the skyline the fire Department with these guys walking
around with AK forty seven's in their hand, And if
you're a cop and there's one hundred and two hundred
people riding in Winton Hills, gunshots being fired, diving between trees, fistfights,

(48:36):
taking place, people being knife and here you are a
cop in a car and you pull up to that scene.
What the hell do you do?

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Well, I'll tell you the most Again, I think a
tipping point for me personally was that mess up on
Ludlow Avenue where they had one of these street takeover
parties over the fourth of July weekend, about sixty seventy
people out in the street and he had three officers respond.
They were overwhelmed, one of them was assaulted. He calls
for backup and they don't have enough people to send.

(49:08):
You know. Ultimately, they did get thirty cars up there,
make thirteen arrests and broke it up, but there is
that radio traffic is horrible when they call for backup
and they're told that they don't have enough people because
there's another incident going on similar to that in Small
Park and they just don't have the officers to send them.
And that is in the Clifton gaslight area. It's not
in some sort of so called rough area. It's four

(49:31):
blocks from where the mayor lives. And that's the kind
of stuff that was going on just a couple of
weeks ago. And to me, those are moments that should
are hopefully waking people up as to how poorly the
city is being rushed.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
If you were elected mayor and this was happening in
your town, of course, from Beaver Creek, ur GQ mayor,
the empty suit makes an empty suit look full. He
slicked back, he's got the hair works out, metrosexual, et cetera.
And this is happening. You fly off to Canada, it

(50:04):
metastasizes and then you skype in. Would you at least
make the effort to come back and maybe lead the
city or would you use your five year old son
as an excuse not to do your job?

Speaker 3 (50:17):
What he has done here is I said this the
other day. What happened down on four Street the other
day was a disgrace. The only bigger disgrace has been
the city's response. It is, as Peggy Nownon used to say,
deeply unserious. You know, he is the chief executive officer
again of a billion dollar municipal corporation. He had every

(50:38):
obligation to be here. He knew They all knew that
the Centinnai Music Festival, plus the Reds game plus the
basketball game here Is Bank Arena was going to be
one of the biggest weekends downtown that we're ever going
to see in Steady went to some Democratic conference up
in Cleveland and then went on to Canada. He should

(50:59):
have been here. This is not the time to take
a vacation. It was completely foreseeable that we were going
to have these kinds of issues, or at least some issue.
And it's just amazing to me that the CEO would
take a vacation in the most difficult, busy and challenging
week that we're going to see in a summer that

(51:20):
had already been violent. So it is, you know, it speaks.
It is a complete going back to my army days.
You know, this would have been a complete dereliction of duty.
He should have been here, and if not, he should
have cut his vacation short gotten here right.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
Well, he left share a Long and Victoria Parks and
left Iris Rolly. Those three are in charge, and.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
Well that's great, that's great. Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
And they couldn't run at.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
It worked out wonderfully for everyone.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Yeah, it worked out great. Girl Scouts couldn't have worse leaders.
But nonetheless, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Steve Goodin ahead of the Charter I committe. We'll see
what happens in the week's head, but don't criticize the mayor.
He's a father, all rightust No, No, he's got great

Speaker 1 (57:03):
Forget about the festival. I'm about ready to start rapping.
I don't want his names on this his names on
the show. Come on, you want to Season five about
the rap my crack card. After office floods, deserts and mice,
we moved to Harlem, which wasn't so nice. Some nights
in bed, all I could hear is put the cheese
and the cracker from ear to ear. They say, I'm

(57:24):
so boogy, But how can that be? I run a
crazy talk show, so look at me. Liars and cheaters
and pimps and hose DNA drama and cheating woes. Don't
forget the yelled ets and everyone's favorite me on my knees.
Some days I doubt I could do it again, But
then I see some good some good looking woman, and
I can thoughts and coochs and raw dogging and ratchet

(57:44):
our vocabulary. He's truly become fantastic. My teams work all day,
work all night, just to convince some guests they might
be they might want to fight. The guests are real,
they never lie. Who else would sit on set? And
pretend to cry. From housewives to hose poorn stars and strippers, balloons,
Arbi and b the Hawkers and rock and plooney stallan
into nero. But let's not forget Pyro my hero with

(58:07):
beds on set, strip of poles and doghouses. One thing's
for sure, I'm never a bore. Production is tough. That's
not enough time to give them. It's all my guests,
It's all in our dime. The expert needs intake. We
learned that this season and guess on the run. They're
a mess for a reason. They throw the chairs, rip
weaves from their hair. But don't forget there's always after care.
We try to help, We really do, but sometimes the

(58:28):
guests want to screw. The shoes they wear have six
inch heels. All they want to do is get a
free meal. The clothes are tight, The lipstick better be
bright because if Joyce approves you, good to go. But
if she doesn't, well you know Lakeisha, Lacanda, Lawanda, La Mama,
Bottom Bitches, pregnant teens, bad moms, and more. The best
part of our is me and my team, because without

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
I should be with you, Bill, see you later.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
Thank you, Mike. I asked Mike to want about as said, Mike,
do you rap? He said, fran does. Out of Christmas time.
Bill Cunningham seven hundred wul By Billy cunning into Great

(01:07:28):
American is my want. I know that many want to
have their voice heard on what's happening in the city
that we love. Even though you may live in Boone
County or Kenton County, or Butler County or southeastern Indiana,
I know you want to come in and out the
city of Cincinnati and feel like you're safe. To understand
what's going on, you have to understand where to go.
We're not to go Peppin Dolores, I think is fabulous

(01:07:49):
on Vine those kinds of things. I go to Greater's there.
I work through Washington Park, but I get out before
sundown because I don't feel safe. And I'm a great American.
But nonetheless, up the lines five one, three, seven, four,
nine seven thousand, seven nine seven thousand or pounds seven hundred,
and we'll do the legendary fast break for anywhere from

(01:08:09):
between thirty and forty five seconds on each caller. And
I want to get your perspective. I had a couple
of calls in the media wanting to hear from those
who live in the Tri State your perceptions of what's
happening in our city, and what's happening is not good.
And the mayor, I think, is coming back tonight or
tomorrow from his trip to Canada, and he's using his son,

(01:08:31):
a five year old boys in excuse not to do
his job, which is not good. And as far as
scheduling a trip, you might want to schedule it not
during the music festival, and with the redst of a
three game set, and with the big three tournaments going on,
it might be good not to have the tournament.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
Then.

Speaker 1 (01:08:47):
Plus you have the comments of Victoria Parks, which I
think are utterly absurd. Quote they beg, they begged for
this beatdown. And for those who have seen the video,
those who've seen the photos of Holly put on senatormno
site and my site, you understand that maybe no one
would beg to be beaten like that by anyone. Put
it all together, and the city's in total chaos. The

(01:09:09):
State's going to come in. Senator Marino, my good friend
and yours, said a few hours ago that he's going
to look to curtail federal spending in the city of
Cincinnati as long as the crisis continues. And so John
Barrett I think he's one of the great leaders, the
foundation of our city. He's never leaving the city. But

(01:09:29):
I fear that Procter and Gamble or Kroger or some
of the other big corporate types downtown. I say, you know,
we can't take it anymore. We can't afford to have
employees working from home. And I'm told that Kroger put
out an email to its employee saying, look, if you
want to stay home and work from home for the
next few weeks, do it because coming to OTR Central

(01:09:50):
Parkway Kroger is not safe. Is that how you want
to run your city? And the answer is yes. You
have to assume the logical consequences of your policies. And
if your policies produce this, and you don't see a
problem with the policies, and you vote for the same
characters to enforce those policies, maybe the problem are the
voters themselves and not the politicians they elect. If after

(01:10:13):
the next last council election, you had several members of
council serving time in federal prison. And then you have
those take their place who can't find their butts with
both hands, who are saying that women that are beat
up begged for that to happen to them. And nothing's
going to happen to Victoria Parks at all, I guarantee you.
So let's go to the American people and each caller

(01:10:33):
will be given about thirty seconds or so to voice
their opinion. To give me your thoughts on what's happening
in your city and also your thoughts on how things
could be improved. Let's go to Garrett first, and Erlanger,
then Kathleen in Kentucky, and Terry and Northern Kentucky, Joe
and Maysville, the home of the Clooney Clan, Robin Independence
and more. All right, Garrett to Erlanger, give me a

(01:10:55):
full report. What is your perception of the problems in Cincinnati?

Speaker 3 (01:11:01):
Police force.

Speaker 6 (01:11:03):
Makes everything okay? I'm an operation supervisory. I'm a booth
on the ground type of guy. I don't hide behind
a computer screen. Just my presence walking in the warehouses
makes people not mess up. Just that simple presence. Will
you get more cops? They will be able to control

(01:11:26):
things and I really love what you said about the
state funding.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
How about that? You know, I'm glad your brother. I
talked to a couple of course. I talked to Mike DeWine.
Then I talked to John Eustad, and I talked to Bernie.
I said, in the good old days, in the nineteen nineties,
America was in total collapse. Again goes to the crack
cocaine addict and parts of New York looked like bea root.
They came up with one hundred thousand funding, and I said,
to the powers that be, what about say two thousand

(01:11:55):
cops in the state of Ohio. Fund them for five
years and pick the five large cities, which is the
three Seas, Toledo and Akron, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and give
them funding for these cops. If they don't have the money,
they spend money on bs, they spend money on crap,
on social welfare programs that don't work, on DEI that

(01:12:17):
doesn't work. And so if they're not willing to transfer
the money to public safety, what's wrong with the state
funding him for the next four or five years. And lastly, Garrett,
when you talk about presents, do you have any sense
that the mayor or the vice mayor or the city manager.
They walk in the room and he say, boy, their
share along. Look at her. There's the police chief. Man,

(01:12:40):
look at her. Now there's a new sheriff in town.
Now we're gonna they have any sense. That's what's happening
to the rank and file.

Speaker 6 (01:12:48):
Absolutely, Billy, Absolutely, and unfortunately we got to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
I can't.

Speaker 6 (01:12:55):
I can't annunciate his name. I've just done Redneck.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
But we have to have year of all.

Speaker 7 (01:13:01):
There you go, bingo.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
And you might remember Garrett when he ran for office
for the first time, he had the air flack duck
walking around quack quack quack. He came into office from
Beaver Creek, Ohio with a duck. And now he wants
to be re elected based upon his record. Let's go
to Kathleen in Northern Kentucky, then Joe and Maysville, Kathleen
and NK wh By the way, I was there last
night at Blinkers and Covington and I loved it there.

(01:13:26):
I love Blinkers. Anyway, Kathleen, go ahead, Kathleen Willie, Yes, Yes,
go ahead. Kathleen.

Speaker 13 (01:13:35):
As a Northern Kentuckian who has the time and the
money to go to downtown and spend it. I'm not
doing it. I no longer feel safe down there. I've
canceled my Aeronoff subscription. We don't attend anything downtown anymore.
There's plenty of places to spend our money in northern Kentucky.
It starts at the top with the mayor, the city council,

(01:13:58):
the police chief, the liberal judges, the liberal prosecutors. They
have handcuffed their police force. Cincinnati is no longer safe
and we no longer visit the area because of the
safety issues. The people that voted these clowns in need
to be ashamed of theirselves.

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
Kathleen. The other issue, if one goes to the air
and Off, I've been I'm not much of a cultural
kind of a guy, but I've been there a couple
of times. And every time you go to the Aeron Off,
you've got to go in and when it's light outside
and come out when it's dark, and you come out
of the air and Off when it's dark and try
to walk to your car. Will tell you, especially for
a woman, a woman who may be giving off the

(01:14:38):
indications that you have some money because of the watch
that you have on or the bag that you're carrying,
or the kind of shoes. You know, burglars, robbers and thieves.
They look at rings and watches and purses if you're
a woman, and they say that person there has some
money and they're going to play the knockout game and
knock you out, and then that's one punch, one out.

(01:14:59):
They have getten nine outs to complete the game. And
many of these guys are like three to four innings
into the game. Knock them out and you can't come
out of the Air and Off about nine o'clock in
the evening thinking, okay, I'm going to walk somewhere and
maybe get a drink or may I'll walk to my
to a car and done with You have a sense
from everything you know that you're done with downtown Cincinnati.
Is that correct?

Speaker 13 (01:15:20):
I am done? And that's why I cancel my subscription
to the Air and Off. Three times this past season,
my friends and I were accosted by groups of young
men three times on three separate occasions, going into the
Air and Off during daylight hours. We were approached on
the street and in parking lots and were intimidated until

(01:15:42):
we pulled out our alarms that have an alarm system
on them. And when we did that and pulled the
plug on the alarm system, they ran off but three times,
and I said, three strikes, You're out. Canceled my subscription.
I've been going there forever twenty years, and I canceled it.

(01:16:04):
I'm no longer coming to spend my.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
Money there, Kathleen. When I'm at Blinkers and I'm in
Northern Kentucky, when I walk around in Newport, I have
a good friend of mine that lives in Newport. I
spent some time last night at Schneider's, which is an
ice cream parlor there and Northern Kentucky. I loved it there.
I felt safe sit around. Everything that Cincinnati offers is
available in Kentucky or in Dayton or in Mason, except

(01:16:29):
the Reds the Bengals in FC. Drive you a Reds game,
drive through Bengals game, you're with one thousands of other people,
park nearby, and then get the hell out. And I
hope people are understanding what's at risk here. And I
hope the liberal Democrats who want to defund the police
and say Cincinnati is a sanctuary city, Kathleen, I hope

(01:16:52):
they're listening to you. Let's continue now with Terry and
Northern Kentucky and then Robin Independence. Terry and Northern Kentucky
give me a full report.

Speaker 11 (01:17:01):
Hey, well a, thanks for taking my call. What I
see here is the lack of leadership. Every morning, my
wife and I wake up, we turn on the news
and we look at each other and we say how
many shootings did they have last night or this morning?
To preface all this, I'm a former chairman of Crime
Stoppers from years and years ago. When it first started,

(01:17:24):
I was a Citizen of the Year from the FOP
Lodge sixty nine, and I didn't even live in the
city of Cincinnati. About ten twelve years ago, it started with, well,
I go to Finley Market every Saturday. Three blacks tried
to rob me. They didn't realize people from Northern Kentucky

(01:17:46):
carried concealed weapons without a permit. Mayor pure evil preaches
coming to Cincinnati for a vacation. But then he turned around,
he should talk about staycase. So he's just talking out
of all three sides of his mouth.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
Terry, what do you think? What have you got?

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
Him?

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
Using his five year old son as an excuse not
to do his job.

Speaker 11 (01:18:14):
I got a five year old dog that you know,
I want to take the dog for a walk, but
it's too sick to take a walk. You know. Yeah,
he's a loser. We need a new mayor.

Speaker 1 (01:18:26):
Well just look up the term metrosexual and that's exactly
what he is. And uh, he's not from here, He's
from Beaver Creek. He was. He came in looking right,
running a cute commercial about the air flac duck quacking.
That's how he got elected. He's a duck. And then
when when all these events are taking place, he leaves town,

(01:18:47):
using his son as an excuse not to do his job.
And uh, it's sad what's happened to our city. And
when I hear John Barrett and others talk, when I
talk to the Gregory's, talk to the talk to the
Ruby types, you know, I'm heartened by the fact they're
going to fight like warrior poets to keep our city alive.
I just hate the idea that if Procter and Gamble

(01:19:09):
or Kroger says, you know what, we can't take it anymore.
It used to be run by Cincinnatians, not so much anymore.
They're not run by Cincinnatians, they're gone. And if that happens,
we go down to look like Saint Louis Now he actually.

Speaker 11 (01:19:23):
Changed the pronunciation of his name. Also pure evil, it's
not pure of old.

Speaker 1 (01:19:30):
Let me think about that, Terry. Thanks for your calling,
Thanks for your service. Let's go to Rob and Independence,
the home of Simon Kenton, Robin Independence. Welcome to the
Bill Cunningham Show.

Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
Rob.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
How are you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
I'm doing great, big Willie, and you are a great
American and I appreciate everything you do, sir. Thank you Tom.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
I did hear what the.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
Police chief said. I was seeing it on YouTube, and
I like, I don't like him being sarcastic. I like
how she twisted the word and to a word such
as they were in a fight. A fight takes two
people to throw fifths. There were no fifth friend. There
were arguments and next thing there was a beat down.

(01:20:12):
It went from argument to thank you, brutal beat down.
She needs to be fired. They need to bring in
the government, the big top dudes to come in and
deal with this mess. And I'm a school teacher for
twenty something years in over the Rhine, in the inner City.

(01:20:35):
I love my students and I will do anything for them.
I had a student last year come into the school crying.
I'm like, second grader, was you know, get off the bus.
Maybe you got bullied or have your pick up or
drop off and you had to argue with mom or

(01:20:55):
something went bad in the morning. I try to regulate
and see where my students are at before they come
into my class. But it's in the morning breakfast. I'm like,
what's going on, man, what's going on? Someone mess them
with you on the bus. I'm like, I'll get them.
Who do I need to get? Come on, I got you.
I got your back. He's crying his eyes out. He said,
my mom said this is in the in the midst

(01:21:17):
of Trump and everything. My mom said, Trump's going to
make a slaves.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
And it broke my heart.

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
And I'm like, I couldn't believe what I'm hearing. So
I looked up a god and just cut his my
eyes and give me the right words to say to
this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
It just came.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
I said, young man, listen, I got your back.

Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
Before you were born.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
Trump was president, and not one time did he ever
try to make people slaves.

Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
And he gets up from Democratic activists who want to
have some boogeyman to blame for the failure of their policies.
And after that pear of all in the big conference
in Cleveland several days ago, they all of the Democratic
mayors stood up in cities that are in collapse, and
all of them blamed Donald Trump. It's like, wait a minute,
am pure, pure of all? Now I'm saying, pure evil,

(01:22:04):
pure of all spend his time in Cleveland complaining about
Donald Trump sanctuary cities and ignored the fact that his
policies have ruined the city of Cincinnati. How about that one,
pure of all?

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
And I don't understand how he can't. He hasn't made
an actual appearance on TV and address this. He's sent
everybody else to, but he's not doing it. He tells
me one thing.

Speaker 3 (01:22:27):
They don't.

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
They don't care about what's going to actually approve of it,
because the other people in the government over there that
one lady she did heard that she did the on
TikTok or whatever, and she mentioned that she was happy
it happened and that she was thankful for it, and
not one of the other members of the city council

(01:22:51):
disagree with it because they haven't came out and made
any statement about what she said. So it just tells
you it's it's creating the environment where they want to
keep people down. So you need the government so they
can run everything and take your freedom away. And it
needs to start in the families and.

Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
No question and the parents, family, family and faith, family
and faith. Rob you call God, bless you God. Just
a matter of clarification, Mika Owens, who's a member of
city council, came out a couple hours ago and tepidly
criticized Victoria Parks from making a fool of herself using

(01:23:30):
her position as a city council member to make a
fool of herself. And Mika Owens, also in city council,
said that Victoria Parks is wrong. But all she did
was revealed what her true thoughts are. Because when Curtis Fuller,
the eminent reporter from Channel five contacted in or Victoria
Parks spoke with him, she said, no, that's what I believe.

(01:23:52):
Quote they begged for that beatdown. Unquote Victoria Parks, she
should resign from council and disgrace, but I doubt that's
going to happen. Let's continue with more. Thank you for
your calls of thousands on hold. Can't get to you.

Speaker 8 (01:24:06):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:24:06):
We'll continue rets. Baseball kicks off tonight about six' ten
dramatic win against The. Dodgers they're back in. It but
you can't keep doing the same thing every, election anticipating
a different. Result and for half a, century promises, made promises.
Broken and when the promises fail and the policies cause
what you saw on, video Blame Donald trump or blame someone,

(01:24:29):
else the boogeyman behind the, tree for the failure of your.
Policies and it is particularly despicable for a mayor who
took an oath of office to be the chief executive
of The city Of cincinnati to use the proclivities of his, own,
innocent five year old son as an excuse not to
do his damn. Job two twenty Six Homio Reds News
