Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Billy cunning in the Great American and welcome to Tuesday Afternoon.
The triest Reds Baseball had a gift last night when
a runner did not touch first base for the Cubs.
That's a good thing. But back out at the night
first pitch about eight oh five. Our coverage really starts
at six oh five and more. But until then, you know,
the main streets of Cincinnati are going to get less mean.
According to city council committees, the changes they're going to

(00:27):
want to implement is to have a uniform citywide curfew
for anyone un a company under the age of eighteen
and eleven PM. But then it gets more harsh when
it comes to otr into the Banks project. They kind
of went different curfews for that, and a man in
charge of imposing a curfew is, of course, the Cincinnati Police.
Ken Kober is the head of the union. Ken Cober,

(00:49):
Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all,
the Public Safety Committee met this morning, as you may know,
and because of the rise in crime, especially among the youth,
and they want to Cheryl Long says she wants to
be clear about this quote. My mother said, nothing good
happens after eleven pm. My mother said nine pm, but
that's a different issue. The current curfew ordinance sets curfew

(01:12):
for those on the age of sixteen after ten pm
and after midnight, the age would go from sixteen to eighteen.
I don't know how you keep an adult off the
city streets. But the new proposal was said in an earlier curfew,
I'd had otr in downtown of nine pm and the
curfew district south of Liberty Street. Miners who violate can
on immediately be taken home. This city would establish curfew centers,

(01:33):
which would be Seven Hills Community Center in the Lighthouse Youth.
As a police officer who wears the uniform as head
of the union, Ken Kober, what is your reaction to
this if anything?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well, yeah, my initial reaction was, I mean, it all
sounds all good and well, but at the end of
the day, there's no consequences for these kids if they
don't they don't cooperate. No question was asked by some
of the council members is what if they're non compliant?
Because I think there's a difference between Wow, they think
this is going to go and what's really going to
happen When you have thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old kids

(02:06):
cussing out the police. I don't think that they're going
to take too kindly to a police officer walking up
and telling them, hey, you're violating curfew.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
You should go home.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Now, that's the problem.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I don't get it. So if you're is this a
regular event that when I was thirteen or fourteen years old,
I was a seventh grader of Saint Savior Grade School,
scared the death of sister Monica Anne much less when
I got home with my mother. If she, my sister,
would send a note home to my mom, I was done.
But nonetheless, thirteen and fourteen year olds on the main

(02:35):
streets of Cincinnati will tell an uniformed police officer in essence,
f U, I'm not going to go. Does that regularly happen?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Absolutely? I mean we got thirteen or fourteen year olds
carrying guns shooting each other, So yeah, it does happen regularly, all.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Right, So assuming this passes, and I would anticipate it
will because you know, you know, it's you have to
do something, and so it's not reasonable, but none. Nonetheless,
So let's a city council today, tomorrow, the next day,
whatever they passed this brand new curfew, and you come
up to a situation where there's dozens of kids that
appear to be under eighteen, may not have id with

(03:12):
him to demonstrate their they won't give their name, they
won't say how old they are. They say, I'm not
talking to you. My lawyer says, I'm not saying a word.
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, I guess what they're telling you to do is
if the lighthouse is open, you take them there.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Then what them is and well is actually is actually
talked about.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
One of the shelters that they want to take them
to is a shelter that you can sign yourself out of.
So you take the kid there and then he goes, hey,
I'm not staying here and signs himself out.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Least, what if he just doesn't. What if he or
she says I'm not I'm not going you do you
arrest him?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, twenty twenty won't take them unless there's another crime.
So I mean, I guess if they don't identify themselves,
you can charge them with bill failing to identify yourself
and that is a crime.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
And I assume twenty twenty will take But there's not
a whole lot that they aren't taking. So I guess
it's yet to be seen.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
So if an informed kid of this will go around
quickly says, here's my name. My name is Timmy Smith,
my name is Jimmy Jones, and this my name, he complies,
where do you live? Well, I live at this address,
and then he says, well, where's your where's your mom
and dad? I don't know. And we got to take you.
You're broken, broken curfew. We've got to take you to

(04:28):
the lighthouse or whatever. And the kid says, I'm not
going Do you arrest him?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well, that's the whole issue with all of this.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I mean, I get that they're trying to do something
to fix this problem, but when there's never an enforcement
side of this, it's not going to work. And you know,
I wait for the first time that one of these
officers has a violent encounter with one of these juveniles,
because it's going to happen, and then is the city
going to stand up and say.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
The officer did the right thing? And I hope, I
hope the answer is yes. But that's yet to be seen.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Before we get to the activity involving Iris Roley, I
talked to you about an hour ago you have something
new on Iris Rolie, who's one hundred and nine thousand
dollars a year consultant to the mayor. Before we get
to that point, I've had on some residents of Clifton
about these street takeovers happening in the Clifton area, And
according to Steve Gooden, who lives there and the mayor
lives there, this is an ongoing problem. Can you discuss

(05:25):
what's happening on Ludlow Avenue around midnight to two o'clock,
three o'clock in the morning, and now you're overwhelmed by
what's occurring. What are the facts on the ground.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, I mean these street takeovers, you'll have people to
show up forty to fifty cars of block intersections due donuts.
I know they did a similar one over the weekend.
Thankfully there was some enforcement action taken. I think they
end up towing three vehicles, cited some people for traffic violations,
some civil sites, things like that. But it's happening so

(05:54):
often and there's so many people it's hard for the
police to be able to get these things under control.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
So if one or two police cars show up and
there's one hundred people streets are blocked off. I saw
on Fourth Street on the night in question about ten
days ago, donuts are being employed on Fourth Street. The
police show up one or two and there's a couple
hundred people, boomboxes, streets are blocked open air use of marijuana.
What do you do.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Well, I mean, I guess you just pull up and
turn your lights and sirens on and hope these people leave.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
And if they don't, you're not going to arrest them,
right you can't.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, there's a pretty.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Good likelihood that someone is going to get stopped and
there they're either going to be arrested have their vehicle towed.
But what we see is as soon as the police
show up, for the most part, don't just start scattering,
and then you grab the ones that you can grab
and whatever you can do to arrest them, cite them,
whatever you got to do is what these officers are
going to be doing.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Uh ken Kober. The police department talk about Iris Rollie.
For those who may not know, describe the position of
Iris Rolli. I have seen some videos sent around by
Signal ninety nine and others that indicate that she's a
consultant for the mayor and she is actually interfering with
the duties of a police officer. Explain who is Iris
Rowlie and what is she doing?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, my understanding is she's the consultant to the city manager.
And yeah, I mean recently she has interjected herself and
interactions were one specifically on Republic Street. This police officer
is just walking up and down the street talking to people.
You know, there are some parking violations there. Hey, can

(07:31):
you just move your car? Everybody's compliant, you know, everything
is going well. These are all consensual encounters. An officer goes, hey,
by the way, picks out a guy and knows him,
says it by his first name, and says, hey, you
didn't go to court.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
You have a warrant.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Let me give you a new court date. And then
Iris Rowley decides to interject herself in this and basically
become tried to become an agitator between the police and
the public. What should have happened, she should have been
charged with a tructing official business.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
But the police officer.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Involved I know very well, absolutely fantastic officer, and decided
instead to just try to de escalate the situation when
Iris was trying to escalate.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
It and she is in a sense she represents the
mayor because she's a consultant to the mayor on I
guess civil rights issues, and she makes I think one
hundred and nine thousand dollars a year as a consultant.
And the video I've seen, the officer is trying to say, look,
you didn't show up for court. You got to go

(08:31):
to court. Let me give you another date. Then Iris
Roly got in the middle of it and said she'll
start filming what this officer is doing and made her
job more difficult. Can you say why she wasn't charged?
Was it fear of the outcome or was it fear
of what would happen next?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Now I think from the officer's standpoint, it was Listen,
I'm just going to try to deescalate this because the
moment that this went any further, there's no doubt that
Iris would have acted foolish. And the reality is she
is just a taxpayer for on did agitate her. I
can't believe that taxpayers are okay with them paying her.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
To do these kinds of things. What's interesting with the
only one? There's more videos?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Please go ahead and explain, Irish Rowlie, explain what else
she does she's supposed to be what and civil rights
advocab I'm not sure. I'm in favor of civil rights too,
I'm not opposed to it, but explain what her role
is working for the mayor.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Quite honestly, I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
I guess that's she does whatever they asked her to do,
and I guess that includes trying to obstruct official business.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Shouldn't she be in charged for the crime from the
video I saw?

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
And those are things where it's the officer's discretion whether
they want to or not. And in this case, the
officer decided, you know, chose not to. Could she have
been charged, absolutely, but that was the officer's discretion. In instead,
just tried to deal with the situation and you get
the work that she needed to get done done well.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
At the end of the day, it's a problem. Can
you step back from this? Because I know the police
have almost an impossible burden to carry. You're about one
hundred and fifty two hundred cops short. Many times there's
one or two units per district able to respond. Just
in general, how do the rank and file process what's
going on in the past ten days?

Speaker 2 (10:21):
You know, Our job as police officers is to show
up and protect the public the best we can. Now,
we can't consider this nonsense that went on Fourth Street.
You know there were if I think, three shootings last night.
We just continue to show up and do our job
because that's what the taxpayers expect us to do. So
while it is a trying time, you know, we have

(10:43):
a lot of trying times, but we still show up
every day do what we have to do to make
sure that the public is as safe as they can be.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Isn't it true you bounce from event to event when
you have I don't know, twenty thousand shots fired every
year in Cincinnati, four hundred people wounded, seventy eighty murders.
Do you just bounce from event to event without adequate
resources because there can't be investigations of those firing twenty
thousand shots in the city of Cincinnati or four hundred

(11:11):
people are wounded, you don't have the resources to fully investigate.
Is that fair to say?

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Well, I mean there's everything's being investigated, and be quite honest,
they're making a lot of arrests in these cases. But
when it comes down to going to one thousand Main
Street at the courthouse and people aren't being held accountable
for these crimes.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
That's what happens.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
You know.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
If we could put these shooters in prison where they belong,
that's on the judges. They've got to do that. That's
what should be occurring. Instead, we're just letting them out
one right after another. And this is what you see
is continued violence.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
You've been there a long time, sergeant, and you've seen
it all. You've been out it for about twenty five
or thirty years. Hasn't there been a market change in
the viewpoint of the judges the past ten to fifteen
years as far as sentencing for serious offenses, Oh.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Without a doubt. I mean I've seen it. You know
some of these judges that you used to give you
hundred and eighty days in jail for driving that a license,
Now you get probation for gun charges. And there has
certainly been a shift in the ideology behind some of
these judges. Absolutely, and we're seeing the effects of it.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
And in fact, you have said before that the many
times the defendants are out before the paperwork is done.
And as far as doing your job, some have said
you're told directly or indirectly. When I see open air
drug use at Washington Park or by Saint Francis Serah,
there's individuals prostituting themselves, I assume for drugs or profit
in some sense. Are you kind of discouraged from arresting

(12:48):
somebody for drug use because there's an implicit or direct
order from the chief do not enforce certain laws?

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Well, sure, you know, if we're being told, don't worry
about enforcing this and the actual the words, especially when
it came to the public use of marijuana, as we
were told that there is no expectation for us to
take enforcement action. So what does that tell you? And
of course the city's standing behind, Well, we didn't see
you can't. We just said there's no expectation for you

(13:19):
to enforce this, So of course what else is going
to do.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
I'm not going to go out.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
And stop somebody for smoking marijuana in public and it
turns into a fight, And then of course the old
body camera footage and it looks ugly when the.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Police have to fight people.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
And then the response say is wow, I mean it
was just just marijuana consumption and public Is it really
that big a deal?

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Copski?

Speaker 2 (13:38):
You know what, I'm not going to deal with it
and be quite honest, I don't blame them.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
No, I wouldn't go hands on because from that point
on your life is different forever. And lastly, on an issue,
I rolled up the comments of Iris Rowley from it
was September the nineteen, twenty fifteen. This is a consultant
hired by the mayor to the tune of about one
hundred and nine thousand dollars a year to consult him.
She said, quote, white Americans are the biggest terror threat

(14:06):
in the United States. Have you seen that posting?

Speaker 3 (14:10):
I have seen it.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
That's why I said, she is a taxpayer funded agitator.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
There is no collaboration with her.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
She wants to go out and try to make the
police's job as part as he can.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
And that's what she does.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
And that's what these videos are exposing.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Everyone's got a viewpoint, but to have the taxpayer fund
her to one hundred nine thousand dollars a year plus.
Before we go, what are your comments on city council
members who talk about those who were beaten down to
within an inch of their life they kind of deserved
it or that's what they wanted. It occurred that way.
I'm talking about Victoria Parks, who talks about the woman.
Holly's given many interviews and she's clearly indicated, let's face it,

(14:50):
we got a problem. And then you have a city
council member who is essentially saying she brought it on
herself to something she wanted to occur. And I'm glad
the truth came out. What are your comments? It's about
Victoria Parks.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
She is absolutely no business being an elected official. Man,
that's just the bottom line. Any any elected official that
says something like that, they're not fit to be in
charge of anything.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
And it's absolutely absurd.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
And the fact that she doubled down and stood by
her comment tells you the kind of person she is.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
She said, quote they begged for that beat down, And
I'm grateful for the whole story. So what is the
whole story? Because I'm told by another one of your
fellow officers there was a minor marijuana deal going on
between the white guy that had the crap beat at
him and who was lit up, and he wanted marijuana
and one of the people involved didn't want to sell

(15:41):
him the marijuana, and so he kind of pushed him
off and may have slapped his face and used the
N word, and then that precipitated everything that happened after that.
Of course, Holly had nothing to do with the N word,
which doesn't give someone an excuse to commit a felony,
by the way, and had no dealings with buying some
street level marijuana. Is this scenario accurate because I'm hearing

(16:05):
all the time, Well, that isn't what happened. As I
understand that there was a minor sale of marijuana involving
the white guy that was beaten up and a black guy,
and the price wasn't agreed on, and the white guy
either pushed him or slapped him, and that precipitated the
whole fight. That doesn't excuse what happened to Holly. Am
I on the right track there.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
I've talked to these investigators and there is absolutely no
evidence whatsoever to.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Indicate that any of that happened, both that this was
over marijuana. There's no evidence.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
If there is, and that's certainly true, then people need
to give this information to the police because that's not
what happened.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
What happened that the evidence doesn't suggest that.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well, what about the end word? That didn't give anyone
an excuse to almost kill somebody. But I listen to
the tape and I didn't hear the end word. But
of course that's one of the most popular words in
black culture. But that's a different issue. Was the D
word expressed by anybody?

Speaker 2 (17:00):
There's been so far nothing that can prove that that
actually happened either. I know there's a lot of people
on social media saying a whole lot of things, and
you know what I encourage them to do is if
they have this information, they have a video that shows
these things, then give them to the police.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Because so far that has not been produced to the police.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
So the end word expression is according to one council
member I spoke with, saying, I didn't hear it anywhere.
That didn't give anybody an excuse to do what happened?
So what started at all? Can you tell me?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
A bunch of adults that can't behave themselves? Probably drank
too much and can't behave yourself. If you can't go
out in public and be a civilized human being, you
should probably just stay home.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, well, the beat goes on, you said, and with
the inquirit will take another six months to a year
to hire additional cops. By the end of the year.
How many how many experienced cops are going to step
down by the end of the year.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
I'm guessing we're probably going to have another forty to
fifty we'll retire before the year's end.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
How long will it take to replace those four fifty
as it's twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight, how long.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's twenty eight weeks for the traditional academy which we
have one end that started in July, they won't graduate
till February, and then they're going to have after that,
they'll have a twelve another another three months with their
field training officers. So it's going to be months before
we actually see that impact of.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
The street strength.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
But understand this, while all this is going on, we
still have cops out are retire in weekly.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Can't take it all? Right, Ken Kober out of the Union,
You got some tough road, hoo do you? And I
don't see it changing anytime soon. But Ken Coober of
the Queen City Lodge, sixty nine fop, thanks for coming
on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you again.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Sure, thanks for having me.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
God bless you.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Let's continue with more Wow, let's continue your comments five one, three, seven,
four nine, seven thousand, Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred
that ULW.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
Guys, you know that Low T Center has been changing
men's lives through hormone care for over a decade.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
At the Music Sean mc man at the Music. Despite
the difficulties in life, all of us experienced a greater
or lesser extent. I'd rather be here than anywhere else,
and rather be an American than any other nationality or
problems are many, solutions are few. When I watch members
of city council bloviate about how great things are, how

(19:19):
much great work they've done, dislocating their shoulder, patting themselves
on the back, it tells me that they're not perceiving reality.
The perception is one thing, reality is another. And because
of that, there was report a few days ago that
one other local business is moving out. Most move quietly.

(19:41):
But I want to give Victor Lewis credit of one
logistics network. He gave an interview and I'm going to
have our discussions with him in about twenty minutes at
one oh five about why he's moving out. And one
other interview, he said he lives on Fourth Street and
he parked under the under the ground and the under
the genius of the waters on Fountain Square Park there

(20:04):
and his experiences got worse and worse. And by the way,
this is not political with a capital P, because there's
not been a Republican who's been the mayor in over
half a century. The last one was Willis Gratison, you
might remember in nineteen seventy one. It's been a while
since then. So we went through fifty years of democratic
mayor upon democratic mayor upon democratic mayor, and it was

(20:27):
never even close to being this bad. We went through
Luke and some of the great Lucan the first and
Luke in the second. We went through the Roxy and
Qualls era, went through the Guy Guckenberger era, we went
through all the charter right errors. We went through Ken
Blackwell was the charter right in the nineteen eighties. And
mainly we've had democratic controlled councils for half a century.

(20:47):
So it's not democrat with a capital D or a
capital R. What it is the change in the Democratic
party that you've seen really throughout America. When someone like
the communist Mam Donnie is going to become the next
mayor of New York City, that's a Democrat. He says.
And then in Chicago, when Brandon Johnson takes over, who

(21:08):
claims that somehow the police in Chicago are racist headed up.
Of course, all the leadership of the Chicago Police Department
are black. And then you have Karen Bass, who spent
thirty five trips to Havana looking at the government stores there.
Now she's the mayor of Los Angeles. The Democratic Party
has changed fundamentally. In fact, they control all the major

(21:31):
American cities other than Miami, Florida. But of the top
forty thirty nine of the forty controlled by Democrats. And
we're no different you think about what we're going through. One
thing different in our town is that we're fighting this.
We're not rolling over and playing dead, because most cities
are done already, and long term America cannot survive as

(21:51):
it is with collapsed American cities and collapse public education.
As Chris Smitherman said yesterday, education, public education at Use
High School and Woodward High School and Ake And High
School is the ladder from which many who find themselves
in a hole can climb their way out. And if

(22:12):
those ladders do not exist, if those schools are completely dysfunctional,
nothing more than monitored daycare centers. Then there's no ladder,
there's no hole. Most day in the hole, and they
don't come out into the light of a better day.
So when Scottie Johnson, who's having fewer and fewer lucid moments,
is patting himself on the back with great work they've done,

(22:34):
and we don't realize all the good things going on
on one hand, then you see what happened to Holly
into the other individuals on Fourth Street. On the other,
And when you have businesses leaving, when you have Kroger
telling its employees if you feel unsafe, don't come to work,
work from home. When you have all the big restaurants
in town, which is a multi multi million dollar business,

(22:57):
telling their employees you don't feel safe, you have to
come to work. We will escort you back and forth
to your car. I went to University Club this Saturday
with friends, and I was thankful when I got back
to my car it wasn't on blocks and the windows
were intact, and I parked in a way where I
could watch the car. It is dangerous to be in

(23:20):
downtown Cincinnati, and let's face it, the city council members
do not buy into it at all. They think they're
doing a great job. From their perspective, things are great.
I'm okay, you're okay. They're scared to death about what's
going to happen in ninety days. You know, the election
is what about fourteen weeks away, and we're going to
find out what direction the voters want to take the city.

(23:44):
And if they vote for the same leadership they have now,
which normally happens in other American cities controlled by the
Democratic machine, we're going to get more of the same
of what we have now when you have an important
city leader, in fact, the president pro tem a city
council Victoria Parks, who says, quote they begged for that
beat down. I'm grateful for the whole story quote unquote.

(24:07):
You just heard Ken Kober say. And they have all
the videotapes, all the investigations that they cannot discern anyone
saying the N word in the clear fashion, They can't
discern the alleged marijuana deal going bad, that they can't
confirm any of that. They think it was simply a beatdown.
You can put your head in the sand. That doesn't
mean others can't see what's going on. All of the

(24:29):
victims were white and all of the perpetrators were black.
And it's not good. The message and the people's judge
and I was Sean Donovan and others went up and
down OTR on Saturday night. You could throw a bowling
ball not hit a pin. The businesses are frightened about
what's occurring because of a lack of enforcement of criminal statutes.

(24:51):
And after viviak Ramaswami and I spoke to Chris Smitherman
last night, there was three things that were discussed. Number one,
more police and you just heard his take up to
a year to get more police and more retiring every month,
so up to a year to get more police trained up.
And number two, they need a functional court system that
we don't have presently whatsoever. And number three, mental hospitals.

(25:15):
I have a guest come up either later today or tomorrow.
I'll give you a fact toy. This is shocking. This
is some a guy expert on homelessness who worked for
the Biden and the Trumpet administrations. And the year nineteen fifty,
before my producer Sean McMahon was born, nineteen fifty, America
had five hundred thousand mental hospital beds. Half a million

(25:38):
for a population that was two and a half times
smaller than what we have right now. So on the
same level, we should have one point five million mental
health hospital beds with facilities for treatment. One point five
million we should have, we'd fill them up. There was
at least one point five million homeless living on the streets,
so in nineteen fifty we had five hundred thousand hospital

(26:01):
beds a pro route of that means one point five
million today, but in reality we have thirty thousand mental
hospital beds instead of one point five million. The Democrats
have pushed all those patients on the city streets where
they have to live. And then the more money we
spend on free stuff living in the streets or in shelters,

(26:22):
the more homelessness goes up. Every three to four years,
homelessness doubles because it's paid for. Instead of having a
long View State mental hospital where I used to incarcerate
individuals in the nineteen eighties and went out of business
in the late nineteen eighties, they said we can't do
this anymore. It's unfair. Put them on the streets, let
them live under bridge overpasses. That makes sense. So we

(26:44):
need the three things functional mental health facility. They'll take
care of the homeless problem. Number two more police and
number three of functional court system. Now there's three solutions, Sherlock.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it. But city
council says no to that. We don't need that. We're
doing a great job. Scottie Johnson is one of a

(27:07):
long line of liberal Democrats who have completely lost their
way and believe that insulting victims of crime as Victoria
Parks does, or having the mayor walk around in his
GQ suit, he's a metrosexual. Look up that term from
Beaver Creek. That's the mayor f to have pureval I'm okay,
you're okay, and he says, everything's great. We're walking around

(27:30):
otr of my security guards. What are you talking about?
Everything's good. Put your head in the sand and pretend
you can't see anything. That's where we are, and all
that kindly remarks, et cetera is it will not solve
the problem until liberal progressive Democrats, which hasn't happened yet
in any major American city, says number one, our policies

(27:53):
have caused the problems, not the Democratic Party. Hell, they've
been in charge of most of our major cities for
the last fifty to one hundred and fifty years, Democrats
are in charge. Charlie Luken, Brendan call Mark Mallory in charge,
rock Sande Qualls, line them up, John Cranley, all of that,
they were all Democrats. It is the new Democratic Party

(28:15):
of Mamdani and Crockett, the new Democratic Party of left
doing radical extremists that were educated in the nineteen nineties
and two thousands to believe something's wrong about this country.
And when I get into power, I'm going to change it,
change it to what And so I have little confidence

(28:35):
in the voters of Cincinnati to make a change. As
you know, Cincinnati is a major may I use the
term white city fifty percent white, forty five percent black,
and six and five percent other. But the much like
Madeira or Blue Ash, or Montgomery or Hyde Park, educated
white females, especially in white males, overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.

(28:57):
They're guilt ridden and they feel something's wrong long about
this country and they can't stand Donald Trump's piccadillos and
his personal behavior. So when you have Madeira, Blue Ash, Montgomery,
and Hyde Park voting for liberal Democrats, Houston. We got
a problem. The voters have got to change, and the
politicians will follow the voters. If the voters don't change

(29:20):
this November, it's never going to happen. It's over, and
Cincinnati will go the way of Saint Louis or Atlanta
or Washington, d C. And the businesses will evaporate and
the tax base will go down. And it's easy to
live in Covington or Boone County or Butler County, easy
to live in Dearborn County. Very simple. And when large

(29:41):
businesses in Cincinnati say, you know what, if you don't
feel safe coming here, especially women who vote Democratic, by
the way, just stay home. And we're in trouble, well
let's continue and coming up later, we have a gentleman
of Victor Lewis, of One Logistics Network, who, to his credit,

(30:03):
is giving interviews. I speak to most of the business leaders,
and I speak to most of the restaurant operators, and
to a man or to a woman, they said to me, look,
we got to work with the city, so you be
the bad cop and I'll be the good cop. And
what you're saying is absolutely accurate. When we have to
hire off duty in uniformed police officers to walk our

(30:26):
employees to a surface parking lot at midnight or one
o'clock in the morning. Houston, we got a problem when
the big companies in town have their own police departments
because calling nine to one one makes no sense to them.
The police departments are overwhelmed with work. That's a problem.
Unless you have access to your own police department and
your own security force. Not too many people want to

(30:47):
live in Cincinnati anymore, and it's gotten works because of
the policies of a f ted pureval that's the problem.
The problem is the policies. If af TB would say,
we got a major problem, We're going to tell the
police to do their job. I'm not going to have
a consultant named iris Roli who interferes with the rest
on the street of my police officers. Iris Rolely, you're fired.

(31:11):
And we're going to encourage the court system, which is
difficult to listen to what's happening in our city because,
if you're believe me, a liberal judge doesn't listen hardly anybody.
And I know what Fiji said about enlisting the judge
Lisa Bloom and juvenile court who good luck with that
with a ring in her nose and tattoos up and
down her arm, good luck with that. Or there liberal

(31:33):
judges that have low or no bonds find individuals innocent
and let them roam the streets and tell the court system.
Maybe Sharon Kennedy the Chief Justice, and Justice Joe Eaters
and Justice to One and Justice Fisher can get involved
and Megan can get involved a little bit and Shanahan
and say, okay, how do we correct this? Because you

(31:54):
judges have got to consider public safety when setting bonds.
It's a law. It's a requirement the police doing their job,
the courthouse doing its job, and the judge is doing
their job. And within a year or two this could
be cleaned up. Because it happened in New York City
after Mayor Dinkins. It was a total disaster, and within

(32:14):
two years Rudy Giuliani had New York City working and
doing great, great things. And it's not nice to the
homeless to make them live under overpasses when they're mentally
ill on drugs and have injection sites. We need treatment facilities,
not injection sites. It can change within a year or two,
but it's going to be up to the Democratic Party

(32:36):
to cause the resignation of people like Victoria Parks and
have an intervention. Lastly, then we're going to go go
to news. I said to David Young in Warren County
the Commission yesterday, and I speak to all the politicians
around the city of Cincinnati. If you would take Dearborn County,
Warren County, Butler County, Claremont County, Boone, Kenton, and Campbell

(33:00):
County and take the leadership of all those areas and
do an intervention with Mayor Pure of All and City Council.
Much like you if someone addicted to drugs or alcohol,
you need those who care to do an intervention. This
is how to do the job, because we're doing it here.
Do you think Mayor Pure of All and the clowns
and fools on City Council would participate in an intervention

(33:23):
by the other politicians around Cincinnati to tell them how
to conduct their city business. Would Pure of All and
Scottie Johnson and lemon Kearney show up at an intervention,
you have to trick him into going and then have
the city and county leaders around Cincinnati help them with
their job that they failed out miserably. Would Pure of

(33:44):
all at all, accept an intervention. Let's continue news coming
up next. Also put a call into Victor Lewis, native
Cincinnati and SAWHII he's leaving the city. He can't take
it anymore. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WULW deep

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Have you taken your family to dinner recently? And been shot?
Business in the city of Cincinnati has decided to pull
up its roots and I think moved to Blue Ash
the little tree that grew and that is One Logistics
Network and the CEO is Victor Lewis, a native Cincinnati
and Victor Lewis welcome, I think for the first time
to the Bill Cunningham Show. First of all, to give

(34:44):
give the American people a little bit of your history.
Where did you grow up, What are your feelings about
Cincinnati and why you looked at your business and on
the main streets of Cincinnati. Give us an update.

Speaker 8 (34:54):
So I grew up in Greater Cincinnati, lived here pretty
much my whole life. Started my business in twenty sixteen,
and at the time, Cincinnati was the place to be.
I was in my you know, late twenties, early thirties
when I started my business, and that's where the talent
wanted to go.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
There.

Speaker 8 (35:14):
It was vibrant, I mean, plenty of things to do
after work, great networking. There was just a ton of opportunities.
We moved our business downtown and in twenty sixteen, and
I enjoyed it so much and loved it so much
that I put my residence.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
There on Fourth Street shortly thereafter.

Speaker 8 (35:36):
And it wasn't long before. It wasn't long after. In
the you know, the early stage of the pandemic, when
just the lawlessness started started becoming evident.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
You had people riding dart bikes down the streets.

Speaker 8 (35:50):
You had like just disorder every night, loud people yelling
and screaming in the streets. And I think most people
are most down town residents especially thought that that would
subside once the pandemic was over, and it did. Not,
and it's continually gotten worse, continually gotten worse. So a

(36:12):
couple of weeks ago or or you know, as time
going on, I made my decision to move out of
the city and there's.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Just been like I can't go.

Speaker 8 (36:22):
I can't express enough how many different instances of like
in aptitude the.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
City has shown me.

Speaker 8 (36:28):
We had leaders from the city come and meet me
to try to, you know, retain business and offer some
economic incentives. The guy showed up in jeans and a
jean jacket to a business and I mean that just goes.
It's the little things, and it's like like, I know
we're focused.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
In on violent crime.

Speaker 8 (36:47):
I mean, there are two shootings last night and knows
t are right, but it's the little things that can
be done. Like yesterday, I go downtown. An individual from
a national publication called me and walk with him downtown
and we walk from Fountain Square to City Hall and
I'm explaining to him this is where a lot of

(37:08):
this activity is going on. We're walking through Piot Park
in the shadow of City Hall. Yes, and there are
two individuals actively using intravenous drug right in front of us.
Like it was shocking to see. I could not believe it.
And it's like that's on the city's front doorstep, like
these are things that can be done. Potholes can be fixed.

(37:30):
Drive on the east side of town on Columbia Parkway
and look how overgrown all the grass is. You can
barely see street signs. Like this is not that can
be managed today. It's that simple, but it's not being done.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
And Victor Lewis I feel in your voice the projection
that you want this to be different. You want to
go back nine or ten years when the city was functional,
and at that point, the Democratic Party controlled everything in
the city of Cincinnati, as it does now. The Republican
parties had no control in the city of Cincinnati for
more than a half century. So this is not political.
I'm thinking about the administration of Charlie Luken and Roxane

(38:06):
Qualls and to a lecture extent, Mark Mallory and John Cranley,
all Democrats. But it was functional. So something has changed.
It's not politics, it's the behavior of the politician. Scottie Johnson,
who has a few lucid moments, said today got angry
with the idea that the city is not safe because
Sarah Herlinger, whose husband was butchered in his own home

(38:27):
by Mordecai Black. He kind of indirectly went after her
and Holly for saying the city is not safe. I
think someone shooting up in pay Att Park, which is
right there, half a block from city Hall, if police
would have driven by, they would not have arrested them.
In fact, I had on ken Kober a little bit ago,
who said they don't deal with those kinds of issues

(38:48):
because city council and the chief of police doesn't want
people to be arrested. Goes, what do you do with
a drugger user? What charge him, get him and rehabit?
But that doesn't happen. And so let's talk about your business.
This is one logistics network, and you cared enough about
your city and you were raised, their born here that
you wanted to locate it here because it was a
great ten years ago functional environment. The politics have not changed,

(39:11):
they're still all democratic, but the enforcement, the policies have
changed significantly because of lifestyle issues. And what about the
in general? What about the you say quote it's not
a business friendly environment, It's no longer a business friendly environment.
If someone doesn't fix this, more businesses are going to leave.
If you spoke to other business owners in the city
of Cincinnati as to why they want to leave or

(39:33):
have left.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Yes, I've spoke to individuals.

Speaker 8 (39:36):
I've spoke to the individuals as recently as yesterday, and
there is more to come. And a lot of these
businesses don't want because I said to some of them, like,
you should let it.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
Be known why you're leaving, and many of them won't
do it.

Speaker 8 (39:47):
They don't want to ruffle feathers, and I get it,
but I am not the only person that's doing this.
Cincinnati already has a significant shortfall in their budget when
citizens start leaving. And I'm telling you there are downtown
residents that are leaving and that are moving to Covington.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
I know.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
I've spoken to them and they all express the same
issues that I did. They're leaving, We're losing a taxpayer base.
This problem is we are like a death com five
right now, like for deaf COOM one.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
Right now.

Speaker 8 (40:16):
We have a huge, huge problem that is brewing and
it's like being ignored. It's just like it like it's
not going to fix itself, and it's going to get
a lot better, and it's going to get to the
point where the city is going to revert back into
the early two thousands, very very rapidly.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Victor Lewis, I saw videos. There's a woman who lives
on Fourth Street that must go nameless, who has sent
me about ten to fifteen videos of regular behavior on
Fourth Street, which is ought to be the business center
of our town, and which individuals seemingly are doing wheelies
on Fourth and Maine. I've seen the wheel is going
back and forth. I've seen what appears to be drug

(40:56):
use on the sidewalks to Fourth Street. I've seen a
video it seems to indicate throughs some sort of fornication
happening and a car on Fourth Street and it's like
a party atmosphere. And that's Fourth Street. We're not talking
about OTR, but you had more shootings last last time
this morning, we're talking about Fourth Street and you lived there.
Did you watch the disintegration of Fourth Street during the

(41:18):
time you were there?

Speaker 8 (41:19):
It was awful, Like my parking was in, you know,
in the public parking garage and your Fountain Square and
you it was it was scary to walk through some
of those, you know, to come home at uh, you know,
at a later hour and walk through the stairwells, there

(41:40):
were people. It all reeked the urine. There were individuals
sleeping there using drugs. And here you got to come
across in you know, a five foot wide alley or a.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Five foot wide hallway. It was.

Speaker 8 (41:52):
It was bad. And when we reached out to the
city to get things done in and around our building,
nothing was done. I put up security cameras and watched.
I watched these individuals and they were the same individuals
I would see panhandling on Fountain Square in the afternoon.
They would come in like they were our neighbors, and
they would go behind our building. They would sleep there,

(42:12):
they would use drugs. I watched them on camera, and
it's like we would report these things. Nothing's done, nothing's done,
nothing's done. It's just it's become untenable to these people.
And I don't think anybody gets it. Like they're moving out,
they're not going to move They're not coming back tomorrow.
Like this situation I think is already beyond the point
of their return, and it's people need to realize that.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
Like now, well, I have.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
A report from Signal ninety nine, which is a police
operated unofficial channel. There was like over one hundred car
break ins in the Hyde Park area. They breaking into
windows is something that they placed on it, don't even
respond to anymore. And cars that are stolen, We're gonna
have over two thousand vehicles stolen in the city of Cincinnati.

(42:59):
Imagine over two two thousand vehicles stolen, about ten thousand
vehicles broken in. Massive drug use, homelessness is running rampant.
Try to go to Saint Francis Sarah, which is up
on Liberty Street and watch what happens in the in
the alleyways open. You're a nation fornication, defecation, the use
of drugs. And I watch police cars drive by and

(43:19):
do nothing. And you're saying, you're you're like a normal
person who loves Cincinnati, who's watching this in real time
on Fourth Street and you call the police and nothing happens.
How frustrating is that for you?

Speaker 4 (43:31):
It's extremely frustrating.

Speaker 8 (43:32):
Do you know when I sent When I sent that letter,
not a single person from the city Cincinnati reached out
to me. Corey Bowman was the first person to call
me at nine am in the morning after I sent that.
So there are people that want to engage with this situation.
There are people that want to take this head on,
but the current leadership does not. They look at this,

(43:55):
they look at citys, either city council or being the
mayor of Cincinnati is a stepping stone to the next thing,
and it's like, how quickly can I get in, make
a name for myself, and get out of here. And unfortunately,
we as the citizens, are the ones that are going
to bear the repercussions of it all.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
It's disgusting.

Speaker 8 (44:12):
It's absolutely disgusting, and no one's doing anything about it.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
It needs to be fixed, and it needs to be
fixed them immediately.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
You're taking your jobs and income to Blue Ash. Why
Blue Ash, which just a little tree that grew under
the leadership of Mayor Joe Cole. Why Blue Ash instead
of the city.

Speaker 8 (44:29):
Blue Ash treated me like I was a customer and
that they were the business trying to win, or they
were the company trying to win my business. They called me,
they bugged me. It was literally one phone call said hey,
here's kind of an outline of what we can do
for you. Bring you in here resources, Here are buildings
that are for lease. Here are real estate agents you
can call. You want to talk to the mayor, here

(44:50):
you go here's the mayor's phone number. People return to
my calls and they engage with me. And I'm not
some massive business by any means, but if a small
business like mine can get that attention, it says something
whereas the city I will send somebody out who may
as well be a glorified social worker that is uh
that's looking at this stuff and has zero background and

(45:13):
zero decision making ability, shows up to my office wearing
jeans and a jean jacket. It's embarrassing. Look at the
look at last week. I mean, this is how like
little things are and how dumb our current leadership is.
When Aftab was giving his press conference, he has his
whole posse behind him, there's an individual wearing a baseball cap. Like,
why don't you turn around and say, hey, take your

(45:34):
baseball cap off before I go on uh on local
news here to get my press conference?

Speaker 4 (45:39):
Like, it's simple things.

Speaker 8 (45:41):
If you had a business, would you like somebody show
up to jeans in a meeting now? But guess what
that person's supervisor probably isn't an the office. That person
works from home. There's no oversight over any of this.
Simply go on the city's website and look at the
pictures they have of the people who work for the city,
and today none of the marine business is higher. It's

(46:02):
like they're all out in the T shirts like if this,
what is this? This is the most unprofessional thing I've
ever seen, And this is our government speaking of that.
I've never met Victoria Parks. She's been around democratic politics
all of her life. She worked for a couple of
decades for Todd up Ortune and he and I assume
she's a nice lady.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
I've never met her. But when when the president pro
tema city council says that Holly and others that were
beaten down on Fourth Street, quote, they begged for that
beat down. I'm grateful for the whole story quote unquote,
When city leadership said we are grateful that Holly was
beaten to within an inch of her life, what does
that say about city council?

Speaker 8 (46:44):
It just shows it's not change like. It shows how
inept people are. It shows how like even if you
thought that, why would you say that? There are things
that I think all the time that I don't say.
It's a very it's something you learned very earthly on
in life that you don't always say what's on your mind?
Why would you say that?

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Well, upon somber reflection, she was given two or three
days to think about it, and then she gave an
interview to Curtis Fuller a Channel five. She says, that's
exactly how I think. Two days later, the President pro
tema city council said they begged for the beatdown.

Speaker 8 (47:16):
What, Yeah, it makes no sense, Like, why would you
do that? Why would it makes zero? Like what does
she have to gain by singing that? Like didn't make
no sense?

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Well, that's the leadership of the city. And now the
mayor is walking around with an entourage and the OTR
talking to people along with Iris Rolie, who's paid one
hundred and nine thousand dollars a year to interfere with
the rest and OTR acting like things are okay. Scotty
Johnson this morning at nine o'clock said he got angry
with the idea that someone would question whether or not
Cincinnati is safe. Scotti Johnson, he's I dare you to

(47:51):
even and here here you are a native Cincinnati. One
of your business to succeed. Victor Lewis have won Logistics Network,
and you're you're giving him the on the ground the
actual result, he's essentially calling you a liar. You don't
know what you're talking about.

Speaker 8 (48:07):
Yeah, and how can they determine how people in my
offices feel like I'm the one who is I'm sitting
there with them every day. And here's the thing. As
an owner of a company, my first and foremost duty
to my employees is to make sure they're safe. Any
business owner will tell you.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
That you're environment where they're safe.

Speaker 8 (48:25):
Guess what, you can't remain there. Like I would love
to be in the city of Cincinnati. I would absolutely
love to be in the city, but I can't. I
wouldn't put my I can't have my family down there,
I can't live down there, and I can't work down there.
So guess what when I pull my jobs out, there's
a tax part of the tax base that is pof
gone and it goes to another area, and it makes

(48:47):
it that much harder to resolve the issues that are
in downtown. There's go around down, go walk on Fourth Street.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
It's dead.

Speaker 8 (48:55):
There's no one down there. Go to the restaurants in
and around four Street that you to be crowded as
can be for a Tuesday afternoon launch. There's no one there. Wow,
like this is a total disaster, and unfortunately, I'm worried
that it's beyond repair because all time goes on these businesses.

(49:18):
They don't move quickly. They don't just make a decision
like this overnight. It might take them two or three
years before they can make this decision. Well, there's twenty
of people who are making this decision now and saying,
you know what, let's go to a more from the area.

Speaker 9 (49:32):
Bro.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
You know, well, they're gonna move.

Speaker 8 (49:34):
It's like you can't the wheels that the trains aren't
left the station.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
In a lot of regards on.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
That, you know. Lastly, Victor Lewis, I would say the
restaurant owners. I talked to several of them, but none
of them want to come forward and actually talk on
the air. And I get that because you don't want
to get sideways with the mayor and city council and
the police. But they have their own police departments now,
the big city restaurants, and they have individuals their employees
are frightened at one o'clock in the morning to walk
to the to the parking, so they have police units

(50:01):
ready on their dime. Large companies in Cincinnati have their
own police department. Whether it's Fifth Third Bank or Western
Southern or Kroger, they have their own police department. And
when employees of restaurants cannot walk to their car at
the end of a shift because they're scared and then
it's time to move, and how many restaurants twenty or
thirty issued a missive. They pounded the thesis on the

(50:24):
doors of the cathedral in Wittenberg saying, you know what,
we can't live like this anymore. And the mayor's out
there walking around saying everything's great, everything's okay. Scott to
Johnson this morning, got angry at this suggestion that the
city's unsafe. And these are individuals that have whose policies
have caused the problem. This isn't democratic republican We've had
democratic mayors now for half a century and this wasn't

(50:45):
the case until recently. Well, Victor Lewis one Logistics the Network,
thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

Speaker 8 (50:51):
And I can say one thing, sure, I would encourage
business owners to speak out, speak out on this and
start rattling the cages and let people know you're going
to leave. It's the only way that things like this
are going to get resolved.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Well, you got the guts to come forward. Most do
not because they have to deal with the city. They
want to do it quietly. But when Kroger, they have
to have to come out. You have to.

Speaker 8 (51:15):
It's people's responsibility to speak out against this, and business
owners need to do it.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
And I was told Kroger told us employees it's unsafe
stay home and what does that? What does that do
to businesses in and around Kroger?

Speaker 4 (51:27):
Yes, exactly.

Speaker 8 (51:28):
And guess what when those individuals work from home in
the suburbs, the jobs and cockspace has already lost. They're
not paying coxes in the City of Society when they
go work from home.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
That's a huge problem.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Victor Lewis One Logistics Network. Thanks for coming on the
Bill Cunningham Show. You have cast a blazing arrow against
city Hall and hopefully they'll observe what's going on and
quit patting themselves on the back by what a great
job they've done. All right, Victor, thank you. Never mention it,
but you're you're a great American. Thank you, Victor. Let's
continue news coming up now there it is. I know

(52:01):
Scottie Johnson thinks man. Things are great things are really good.
That is not reality. Don't dislocate your shoulder patting yourself
on the back when the city is disabling itself right
before your very eyes. Go Cunningham seven hundred Wow.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
There's a lot of big sweaty men hitting other big
sweaty men, fucking big sweaty man tackling big sweaty man,
thin hitting in for a big sweaty man group shower
the Bengals training camp. Listen for the latest on seven
hundred wl W, Home of the best Bengals coverage.

Speaker 10 (52:35):
How are you maxed out with high interest that you
could pay it off in dasion O with loan Proto's
rapid equity loan.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
He hits Eddie get cash out now without touching tied it.

Speaker 6 (52:47):
Great hustle from Dansby Swanson down the line at first,
he beats out the infield, hit Castro Stores from third,
and we are even at three. Thing more Kee Brian
Hayes could have done on that ball. The Reds are
gonna challenge this play because there's a chance Swanson didn't

(53:08):
hit the bag.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
He missed it. No, he dragged his foot across the top.

Speaker 11 (53:14):
But I'm wondering if By the time he got it
with the top of his toe on the top of
the base, whether the ball was in the glove when.

Speaker 6 (53:22):
He went striding the first base and he landed, his
foot was in front of the bag. The ball was
in Steer's glove by the time his foot finally dragged
across the top of the bag. Great challenge by the Reds.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
The runner mit the Perth base.

Speaker 6 (53:41):
It calling a three unders, overturned the runners out, pissing out.
He retained your galleng The Reds win the challenge. Swanson's out.
He raced the run the Reds till laid it. What
a great call by the video man. Jake Kileman back
in the cave.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Hello, Bietulls, I'm broadcasting second man. I watched it. I
heard it. Tommy Thralls going nuts. Scored tied three three.
You're in Wrigleyville. Not good. All of a sudden the
hand of God got involved in said, of hell with it.
He missed the base by two inches. Impossible. What would

(54:24):
Gordon Vettererino say about that? He would call Jake Hilman
and say, Jake the snake, what happened? And that guy
is our citizen of the day. Right there. Now I
have another matter to bring up. Uh huh. Jake Paul,
they so called an MMA fighter out of Miami, Florida. Yeah,
the little wrestling thing a couple of nights ago. Yeah,
and he flattened Jelly Roll who was on a on

(54:47):
a table. Jelly Roll has lost about two hundred pounds.
It was like taking a bucket of water out of
Lake Michigan. But that's another story. Correct, But jelly Rolls
had too many Jelly Rolls says he on a ze
epich or something's got to.

Speaker 10 (54:59):
Be I have no idea Big Paul flattened him, and
Jelly Roll is hurt.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
And Jelly Roll is the partner with the viper Randy Orton. Well,
that was an ugly scene during this Summer Slam. I
love that stuff.

Speaker 10 (55:14):
And then what John Cena was out there and CM
Punk say goodbye, and Cody Rhodes, yes, and everybody was
at Summer Slam.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
Exciting Summer Slam. But Jelly Roll, how's he lost two
hundred pounds?

Speaker 10 (55:29):
I don't know, that's like you going, I mean, what's
he doing out there in wrestling? Those guys know what
they're doing. They've been at it for fifty years, every
one of them, and this and that and everything else,
and you know I don't I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
Segment I. Speaking of not getting it, I'm want to
thank you for the rap lines you delivered to me. Okay,
Sean McMahon, are you ready? We got some music to this.
We don't name music because my rapping says it all
by itself.

Speaker 10 (55:54):
Oh so you're trying to you you're trying to start
a news genre of rap. Yes, with it's just like
a cappella. Well it's it's Willie's a cappella rap. Ice
Cube says, I'm the voice of my generation, right, so
it's going to be a cappella rappeller rap rappelle.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Can you spell a cappella?

Speaker 4 (56:17):
No?

Speaker 1 (56:17):
All right, a cappell a capella. I'm willing to the
see from the KCC. Living in the five to one,
three out of the park. Life started dark, but hard
work got me to the top. Started as a lawyer,
then one crazy night became a radio man of great delight,

(56:37):
the Great American for many years. I'm a two time
Marconi winner, talking USA USA, the Red, White and Blue
all the Way with Ted McKay. Willie the cee. You
want to hear me WILLI the c to the Sea
from the KCC Living and the five to one three.

Speaker 10 (56:54):
Now that's your chorus right there, right there, that's your
chorus right there, and then you ride around that starting
to learn a little more. Well, it's a cappella rap.
Where's the T band when you need him? I think
you've started a new music genre of rap acappella. Paul
Luck to get you, which could get you into the

(57:16):
the MTV Music Award, the Newcomer of the Year, or
the iHeartMedia Music Award.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Now, Paul Luck would like you to do a little
bump and bump in the background. But I got this
from one of the guys working with the Cube. Are
you prepared? Go ahead? You sounded pretty good on the
most recent rap. Keep the cadence and the timing with
the piano track. Name the track and we'll have a
skeleton for your first song and release on Spotify. It
seems like Pelosi's name was used a lot, unless it's

(57:43):
in the hook. Use more names that seemed to rhyme
with the drive to the point. It's a lot, but
we're going to make you and your music the voice
of your generation. I talked to Tom Weedman last night.
What's he going to be your road manager or drive
the tour bus? And Tracy Schwegman both love my rap

(58:04):
said that next year at the at the Sycamore Township Festival, Yeah,
or the Deer Park days. The heck with those bands,
they had to have you up there now, I says. Also,
this track is a bit slower tempo with a short hook.
A more thoughtful approach with your lyrics and riding this
track allow the hook to breathe in between the rap lines.

(58:25):
Another way to describe it is to let the last
line of the verse describe something that is right for you.
Their comments that sounds like Bernie thomping to me. All right,
here's a couple of lines that I wrote the last
couple of nights. I went, I want. I sent them
back to the Cube and they came back almost in

(58:48):
finished form. Are you ready? Go ahead? Listen up? Can
you do a little bump in the background, but the
boom step up to the micro right, shout out to
Trump jd Vance in the lot, Ohio in the house,
Red Wave on the rise, Willie on the air. He
never tells lot. He's the voice of the man on

(59:10):
seven to zero zero by Queen's City Legend running the show.
Tuning in at noon. Here that Marconi shine. Willie speaks
the truth, got the country on his mind. Humpty do
humpty do? Big Don and the White House shaken up
the plan. JD is the VP fighting for the common man.
Let's talk about the left. You know who they chose.

(59:30):
Nancy Pelosi out of here, stepping on toes. She's counting
ice cream. We're counting votes while Trump and JD keep
Dems on their toes. Pelosi tries to ban her, but
she's losing her grip. Willie pipes up, she's out of touch.
It's a sinking ship. He ain't afraid to say.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
It.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
Calls out every fake Republicans United. Now let's raise the stakes.
It's Pelosi catching the ls. We all know why. It's
noon to three. The frequency is true. Big Don and
the White House shaking up the plan. JD is VP
fighting for the common man. One Mike will show. Let
the Buckeye State No Trump, JD and Willie they put
on the show. Pelosi tried to block, but couldn't stop

(01:00:06):
the flow because Cincinnati's tuned in and bok Willie's running
the show, Trump Train and Rolling. Let the world see
with JD. Willie see making history Boom Willie.

A cut above Tjfriedo with that tie breaking RBI single
in the seventh winning Reds over the Cubs three to two,
and Nicolodo started retired to first five he faced, then
left the game in the with a blister and his
left index finger. Then the bullpen, taxed already by the Speedway,

(01:01:12):
Classic overtext stepped up again to save the day. Martinez, Barlow,
As Craft, santy On and Pegan all seven and the
third innings combined three hits, two earned runs, seven k's

Zach Latel, I would tell that young man that he's

That's sec I want to give another rap verse to you. Okay,
that's been approved by ice Cube for delivery into my
new beat. Are you ready? Go ahead? Would you mind
in the background going hump, did you do or something?

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
Hum?

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Four on the course, got that four to oh one

I still like to play check the vesting. I'm fully mature.
Clubs are clean, my dividends are pure swing like I'm young,

(01:02:53):
Do you see the upgrade in my He said, he's

front of a mirror. And I said, like to wear
my tach Morris Time in the Day or something. I
got them to get in front of the mirror.

Speaker 10 (01:03:03):
That's the guy you ought to be more this time
Morris Day and the Time Game. That's the guys you
need to guy. That's the guys you need to listen
to them.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
Well, I'm just saying Morris Day and the Time. I
told Cubma, I got a ten gallon golf hat, floppy hat.
I'll wear sunglasses and carry a seven iron. He said,
no one in the rap is doing that. Is that
fair to say? That's for sure?

Speaker 10 (01:03:27):
Go ahead, Hunter Green's going to make another rehab start
this Friday. Will he at Triple A Louisville looking to
build his pitch count. I was going to throw up
to eighty pitches. How's his growing? And then I think
he should be ready to come back for the first
time since June.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
How's his growing? I should be happy. Go see Robert
Kraft'smasus and Boston Little League Baseball. It was west Side
routing Illinois last night eleven one. So west Side will
play either Kentucky or Illinois tomorrow night for a regional
title and a trip to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. If they win

(01:04:04):
the whole thing, that whole team's coming down here. See
Cub's big song they tell me is out of Compton. Yeah,
he wants me to do one out of Deer Park
good and out of Compton with the NWA.

Speaker 10 (01:04:17):
And then he's talking about you a song of yours
on Spotify correct, Wow, the heck with heck with American
Idol or the Voice.

Cincinnati Open Up Date brought to you by Every Sport
every season on every screen at Oakley Greens and qualifying
matches underway with Ted McKay, Willie and Mason. Let's see
the Joker will not be here Withdrew doing a non
medical reason.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
I think he's losing it, whatever that means.

Speaker 10 (01:04:49):
But Peyton Sterns and Katie mcnow he's going to be
out there from Cincinnata, so uh in that place is spectacular.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
You need to do.

Speaker 10 (01:04:57):
I need to go there there yesterday and it was
at for what they did in eleven months, unbelievable, Andy Mcker.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
You couldn't build a house in eleven months. They built
two hundred and seventy five million dollars. They can go,
of course, and they tell me it's unbelievable. Bengals up.

Speaker 10 (01:05:11):
They brought to you by Good Spirits and party Town
with thirteen convenient locations in northern Kentucky. That's part of
the preseason open to Thursday night. Joe Burrow will play
several series really along with other starters in Philadelphia, their starters.
You're correct, And I guess what about Trey plan? What
about Trey? You know he's not going to play. The

(01:05:32):
plan is that Burrow's going to play significant time in
the second preseason game against the Commanders here. Well, no,
I think it's in Washington and the last one, the
last ones here against the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
I think they'd played three games in sixteen days. Oh
hopefully they've you know. But uh, by the way, I
think you mentioned earlier that the Kruger Company downtown told
its employees to stay home it felt unsafe. I have
a message here from the PR department of Kroger that
is not true. I told the PR department that lies

(01:06:08):
circle the globe before truth can take its first step. Okay, true,
All right, give me out in the stud unless you
have more sports. Uh nothing right now? All right, segment,
give me out in Studge Report. By the way, I'm
gonna open up the lines and let the American people
speak what and Kim from Cincinnati will be the first.
He's been on hold now for about an hour. I'll

(01:06:29):
ope up the line seven four nine, seven thousand or
pounds seven hundred. Get your calls about the mean streets
of Cincinnati. City Council does not understand the problems their
policies have caused. I say an intervention is required, but
by competent individuals to city council.

Speaker 10 (01:06:45):
Whether they're back from their break today, so hopefully they
get something done.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
They're making enough full doubts. Segment, give me out.

Speaker 10 (01:06:51):
Of the Studge Report. Please, Well, you had a beautiful
day here at the Tri State. We leave you with
the immortal words of the stud report.

Speaker 12 (01:06:59):
Let's makes Cincinnati great again.

Speaker 13 (01:07:02):
I know, you know Trump is making America great again.
He is.

Speaker 4 (01:07:06):
You know that's a slogan.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
But I'm saying, let's just at least let's start in Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
Let's make it great again.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Let's stop fighting, let's stop retaliating.

Speaker 8 (01:07:14):
Let's stop the corrupt and injustice that's going on for
black and white and.

Speaker 7 (01:07:20):
Americans and foreigners and Republicans and Democrats and liberals.

Speaker 8 (01:07:24):
You know, Let's let's make everyone great again.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
That's Holly, who was battered and beaten on the streets
of Cincinnati. She's speaking the truth to the American people. Segment.
Thank you for your involvement. I would anticipate my rap
career will exist only if my own jelly role would
be with me. You and I could wrap together. Segment.

Speaker 10 (01:07:44):
Now, if you get this rap thing going, you're not
going to end up in a squared circle with like
rock Lesdon.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
I did that one time with Hull Cogon and Rody
Roddy Piper. That was it for me. You look like
a human pretzel in the ring. Let's continue Billy Cunningham
seven hundred WLW. You know many radio talk show hosts
are afraid to confront the American people and hear are
your viewpoints?

Speaker 4 (01:08:09):
I do not.

Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
I welcome them. It's cannot be simply a Monologue's got
to be a dialogue. So open up the lines. We
have either two lines available for your calls at seven
four nine seven thousand or pounds seven hundred. We'll begin
with Kim and Cincinnati. She's been there for a while
than Brett and Kelsey and Dennis and Annapolis, Maryland, and

(01:08:30):
we have two lines open at five one three, seven four, nine,
seven thousand. How would you respond? What is your perception?
I have texts for many of the so called city
leaders telling me there's not much of a problem in Cincinnati.
In fact, it's been addressed. Scottie Johnson, who was a
police officer for like twenty five or thirty years, was
this morning at a public safety committee, said things are

(01:08:51):
pretty good. We've addressed these issues as much ado about nothing.
And I'm thinking that is not the case. Put your
head in the sand and you don't see much. To
go to Kim first and many others, and Kim and
Cincinnati Kim, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Kim,
how are you?

Speaker 13 (01:09:07):
I'm fine?

Speaker 8 (01:09:07):
How are you?

Speaker 13 (01:09:08):
Bill?

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Give me a full report.

Speaker 13 (01:09:11):
Well, I wanted to know your thoughts on the fact
that Hamilton County is going to be shutting down all
of the probation substations. And I don't know if you
know how well they work hand in hand with our
police officers. So that's going to be another detriment. Not
to mention how many probationers now are not going to
adhere to the probation because they're all going to have

(01:09:33):
to go downtown to eight hundred Broadway, take time away
from their job as they have been able to find one,
and then they got to find daycare for kids if
they have them.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
And I would think operating those substations outside of the
downtown core is not very expensive, but you know a
lot of money.

Speaker 13 (01:09:50):
They're provided free.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Yeah they're free, but it does cost the county something.
But you know, you have to do something. No, it doesn't,
it doesn't explain.

Speaker 13 (01:09:57):
It doesn't explain that, not one, not the one in
my community. They're given the place for free, they have
electric and everything they need provided for free. They don't
pay for anything in our substation.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
Why why is that they can help our office? Why
is that being shut down? It doesn't cost anything. Why
is it being shut.

Speaker 13 (01:10:17):
Down because there's a certain entity that believes that it's
gonna make it better by pulling all the probation officers
out of their substations, putting them all downtown, and then
just having a crew that's going to go out knock
on doors randomly.

Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
But good luck with that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:10:36):
Yeah, And supposedly all the judges are on board with it,
but I'm finding that not to be the fact.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
I'm sure there's about half the judges in Hamley County
are good, half for bad. I don't think you can
get all of them to agree to something like that.
I think Pac tink A Locker would not agree. I
would think, Yeah, I'm not sure.

Speaker 13 (01:10:54):
Well, you put out the bats of being hush huss
and shoved under the table.

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
Have you complained to others?

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
What reaction do you get from county leaders? Any This's
just gonna work.

Speaker 13 (01:11:06):
They're doing it in other areas and it's working. It's
successful there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
Well, Kim, you sound like a normal American to me.
Would you want to go downtown to get an item
or have a meal, or shop in some way that
you could do in the suburbs. As the negative publicity
about the city of Cincinnati changed your behavior at all.

Speaker 13 (01:11:26):
I would never go downtown unless I am with officers.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Well that's unlikely. You'll have cops around you, I would think, exactly.
I don't think that's the case. No, no, all right, Well,
thank you, and well the bat signal is out. Just
got a text here from Rocky Boyman tells me I
can't take it anymore. I've written you a rap. I
will present it at two thirty five. So I got

(01:11:53):
Rocky Boyman in the rap. Stay tuned for that in
about twenty minutes. Let's continue now with Dennis and Annapolis, Maryland.
Dennis in and now less Maryland. Give me a full report.
How are things in Annapolis? And would you go to
downtown Cincinnati?

Speaker 13 (01:12:06):
Uh?

Speaker 14 (01:12:07):
Well, seventy one Xavier grad here and frequent loser or
to Cincinnati. Listened to w l W and read the
look at the inquire and I don't feel safe driving
and going downtown or over the Rhine.

Speaker 4 (01:12:23):
Fear for my safety.

Speaker 6 (01:12:25):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (01:12:25):
And this moviesit incident just adds to the perception I
think your your mayor and your leadership are living in
La la land and uh and I have a quick
question that nobody's kind of uh uh that pointed out,
what about the white guy who was in the brawl,

(01:12:48):
what what happened with him as far as his uh disposition?
I uh, I never excused the use of the N word,
but it looked to me in the video that he
was after somebody and I'm wondering if they had done
something to him. He was chasing around a black individual

(01:13:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:13:10):
And then.

Speaker 14 (01:13:12):
The one videos that he was seeing the N words,
I'm wondering why he was running around after the Granted
there may have been a little alcohol fueled by alcohol,
still well, I had that question.

Speaker 4 (01:13:25):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
The police officer tell me that there was a minor
marijuana deal going on with the white guy who was
beaten up, who was dead ass drunk, and the price
on the marijuana was high. He got into a verbal
disagreement with one of the older black guys and push
literally came to shove, and that according to one account

(01:13:46):
which Ken Kober, who's head of the union, disputed two
hours ago, the N word was dropped by somebody which
provided the justification for the beatdown, Holly, the woman had
nothing to do with it. And I'm told the white
guy went of the hospital, was treated and released, that
he's left the country, that he was a Russian slash
Ukrainian who's not with us anymore. So, and I don't know.

(01:14:11):
And you know what's said is that Victoria Parks, the
President pro tem of the Senate said quote they beg
for that beat down. I'm grateful the whole story coming out.
There is no justification if somebody calls me a cracker,
or if somebody calls a black guy the inward, that
is not a justification to beat the hell out of somebody.

(01:14:32):
It's wrong. A racial slur can never be an excuse
for violence if it took place, And anyone that justifies
it doesn't understand what the law is. You know, sticks
and stones may break my bones, but words never hurt me.
And the law changed about twenty years ago and the
Supreme Court ruled that offensive language hate speech is only
prohibited if it's incentivizes immediate violence. None of that happened.

(01:14:54):
This was a mob that took advantage of a circumstance.
I think, in my view, Dennis, it became racial because
all the victims were white, all the perpetrators were black,
many with extensive criminal records, and the crowd took over
and were cheering on the beating of those poor individuals
getting their head treated like a football, and the TV
TF Evan McPherson and so, I don't you can call

(01:15:16):
me a bad name. That didn't give me a right
to beat you to within an inch of your life.

Speaker 14 (01:15:21):
Well, I totally agree with you. And the other thing
is what's really really disturbing is that I'm reading that
this totally innocent woman, Holly, is begetting threats or death
threating that what crazy people are doing that somebody who's
totally innocent had nothing to do with the with the

(01:15:44):
fight and you know, suffered a concussion which we'll have
down down the road repercussions for her.

Speaker 12 (01:15:50):
Uh So, what crazy.

Speaker 14 (01:15:53):
I'll bet that they're not Republicans that are doing that now.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
Holly, as a self described she said, let's make Cincinnati
great again. And so, you know, I don't want it
to become racial or political for this reason. When that occurs,
each camp goes in their own foxhole and shuts it down.
Because we've had democratic mayors now in Democratic council half
a century. This is a new crop of Democrats. This

(01:16:18):
isn't the normal Charlie Luke and Mark Mallory, John Cranley
crop democrats. These are Democrats that appear in Chicago, New York, LA.
This is a long left wing progressive movement of sanctuary cities,
don't enforce the law and don't assist those that are
mentally ill, don't ticket somebody for speeding. This is a
new crop of Democrats that didn't exist until recently. So, Dennis,

(01:16:39):
if we make it racial, if you're black, you think
one way, White think another. I don't speak for the
white community than otherwise than Lincoln b Ware speaks for
the black community. I want to deal with people based
upon the behavior, not upon their race or politics. You
know what I'm saying. Let's go to Kelsey and Anderson Township. Kelsey.
Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Sir, how a thank you?

Speaker 9 (01:17:01):
I'm doing good today?

Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
Will we how are you?

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
Great day to be an American? The reds one last night?
I feel good?

Speaker 9 (01:17:07):
It is Hey, Sarah, I know that you have your
fingers on all the pulses around Cincinnati, and I have
a more of a legal question for you, and that is,
how does an impeachment process take place for the mayor
of Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Well, you know, the charter describes what happens with the impeachment,
and there is no mechanism in the charter which is
like the constitution of a city for the removal of
a mayor. And so I think the best thing you
can say, Kelsey is out in ninety days is going
to be an election. And if the people of Cincinnati say,

(01:17:42):
in ninety days, we like the leadership of aftab Pureval,
we like having a GQ mayor who's a metrosexual. We
enjoy as a heterosexual man worried more about his grooming
than policy, which is a metrosexual. We have a metrosexual mayor,
we like his policies, and then the voters of Cincinnati
will get what they deserve. We have lousy public schools,

(01:18:05):
non law enforcement, We have a sanctuary city status. We
have police department enforcing the law because city council doesn't
want them to. And if the citizens of Cincinnati enjoy
public schools, ramp and criminality, street takeovers and drug use
in public, and if that's what the citizens want in Cincinnati.
We're going to get it, and that's a problem.

Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
I certainly hope they wake up.

Speaker 3 (01:18:27):
This should be the wake up call that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
You're in Anderson Township. Kelsey, do you think this is
going to be a wake up call or I mean,
I vote for Democrats now and then I couldn't vote
for any of these Democrats. But nonetheless, if the people
of Cincinnati say this is what we want, you might
recall that Kamala Harris said, when you vote, you'll order something,
and when you get the result, that's what you voted for.

(01:18:50):
And so if citizens want terrible schools, open air drug use, fornication, defecation,
you're a nation in public if they enjoy no non
enforcement of traffics, if that's what they want, and street
takeovers and Ludland Avenue, Ludlow Avenue. And I saw video
on Fourth Street over the weekend two weekends ago that
was disgusting. It was terrible. At three o'clock in the morning,

(01:19:13):
Fourth Street was unpassable. I'm thinking, if that's what they want,
you'll order it. That's what you're going to get, all right, Kelsey,
thanks you for your call to continue. We have a
Brett and then Tim and then steven thousands of others.
Brett on the west side. Brett, give me a full report, Willie.

Speaker 4 (01:19:31):
How you going today, sir?

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):
I'm living the American dream. Despite of the problems we have,
I feel lucky to be an American.

Speaker 12 (01:19:38):
Absolutely, me too, Hey, Colin, the restaurant coalition that was
put together with the Gregory's, the Ruvies and concerned with
the change getting everybody on board. You had holy grail
on last week? Did it kind of ducked your questions
with the mayor, the council member and the chief of police.
I think money control the of influence and we need

(01:20:01):
to get everybody on board to clean this mess up.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
You know, Breadth, the power brokers, the restaurant owners, the
big downtown businesses do not want to get sideways with
city hall because it does them no good to attack
the mayor, city council, the police department, they got to
work with them, and so many times I'm told off
the air, will you be the bad cop. I'll be
the good cop. But believe me, for restaurant owners, the

(01:20:25):
fifteen or twenty large ones in town to have to
hire private security in order to get their employees safely
to a parking lot and to protect customers. When you
have large businesses who can't afford their own police department,
I mean Kroger, Fifth Third, Bank, Western Southern have their
own police department because they can't trust. Do you think
in Covington a large business has its own police department.

(01:20:48):
I don't think so. No, you call the police. But
that is indications that businesses know they're not safe operating
in downtown Cincinnati, and this to change, and if it
doesn't change, you get more of the same. And when
citizens start leaving. When I had on my new friend
there from the logistics company, Victor Lewis talking about he's

(01:21:12):
moving out because it is too dangerous. He lived on
Fourth Street in the last three or four years. It's
become like Bangladesh. I hope the city council takes it
to heart. But listening to Scotti Johnson this morning, he said,
I'm okay, You're okay. We've done a lot live with it,
and I don't think if you're a business owner or
a restaurant inviting people to come here, employing tens of

(01:21:34):
thousands of people to fifteen or twenty of them, with
hundreds of thousands of people enjoying the great meals of
Boca Montgomery in and sort the banks and Jeff Rubys.
They don't spend thousands of dollars every week in extra
security because it's fun. They do it, and the customers
pay for that in the form of higher prices for

(01:21:55):
your check. That's all built into your steak or your
ribs or your hamburger. That's built into it, so we
all pay for it. But they have an overwhelmed police department,
unsupported in a sanctuary city, and they're told, Duke, don't
go hands on with anyone as a disaster. Can you
imagine Brett if the if there was a black woman
surrounded by white thugs who were knocked out cold, and

(01:22:19):
then these white thugs took on three or four black
guys and treated their heads like footballs. What this town
would look like if it just changed the races of
the parties involved. What would be occurring right now?

Speaker 12 (01:22:30):
Oh, Willy, it would be a complete different scenario.

Speaker 4 (01:22:35):
It would be war Willy.

Speaker 12 (01:22:40):
The mayor, the mayor, it's it's sad if the mayor ran,
the chief of police blamed alcohol, the city council woman's statements,
it's a change, changing the guard there needs to be done.

Speaker 1 (01:22:52):
Will he? I ask you this, if a black woman
was knocked out one punch, one out, which is a gameplay,
and the and Victoria Parks would say, quote, they beg
for the beatdown. Would she ever say that about a
black couple had the crap kicked out of them on
Fourth Street? Would she ever say they beg for it?

(01:23:13):
And a white thugs beat up a black couple, We'd
have Al Sharpton, we would have Benjamin Crump, we would
have city council and turmoil. And the only react, it
seems when a black person is hurt as opposed to
a white person, they look at the world through rose
colored glasses and a racial prism. That's how they see things.

(01:23:35):
And I want to deal with people based upon their behavior,
not their race, but in this climate it's hard to
do so. But I will continue to say most of
the black people I know are like Christopher spider Man,
or Melvin marsh or the dearly departed Less Gaines or
John Burlew. Those are the black friends, and I love them.
I will never prejudge someone based upon their skin color.
I'm going to deal with people based upon their behavior.

(01:23:57):
What a novel concept. I'm sorry for all the ones
on hold. We can't get you today, we may do
it tomorrow, et cetera. So let's continue Bill cunning in
the Great American Live with Home of the Reds, playing
tonight starting about six ten, first pitch at eight ten
on news radio seven hundred WW my generation.

But now, what what do you do? I have a
future in rap. We gotta get you on that beat.

Speaker 12 (01:24:46):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:24:46):
A few months with me, you'll be, You'll you'll be
you know. I I was going to tour the South.
I spent time at the backstage of the Apollo. Okay,
my show was in the Harlem for one season across
and I spent time there and that's where I hooked
up with some of jay Z's guys and they worked
with me some lines to become the voice of my generation.
And then they want to put me on the road.
Had to go into the South.

Speaker 4 (01:25:07):
Is that right?

Speaker 1 (01:25:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:25:08):
Man, that's pretty incredible. They need to work with you
on that beatum beat. Yeah, yeah, we got to rock

Xavier kind of near the dumpsters, there's like a like
a trailer back there, and that's where I did all
my classes. And in the front of that room there
and that trailer was a big picture of Joe Dieters. Wow,
I didn't know that about that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
I thought before I guess we were. You know, he
was like the he was like the best of the
of the worst. I didn't know that I spent time
in Dummy Hall at Deer Park.

Speaker 4 (01:26:20):
How bad? Is that? Not good?

Speaker 1 (01:26:23):
But you you texted me that. I absolutely positively do not.

age of like the birth, in the height of gangster rap, right,
like we're talking, you know, mid nineties, you know the
Chronic came out, that was Doctor Dre that introduced Snoop
Dogg the world. That was the hugest album ever than
Snoop Dogg came out with Doggie Style, which is one
of the biggest rap albums of all time. There's also

harder gangster, a little bit more of like you know,
there's multiple.

Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
Rap how about this.

Speaker 5 (01:30:57):
That's when you're trying to get to the bedroom with
that too, A little romance berry white style, yeah, very
white wrap. Got a text here from Wally Sweeney. He
said he loves the rocky wrap.

Speaker 8 (01:31:10):
Is that true?

Speaker 1 (01:31:11):
It's your rap? I wrote it for you. Yeah, but
I can't read your handwrongy up. If you can type
it up on corporate it and send it out, I'll
send it out to the Cube. I said, get rid

Speaker 5 (01:31:22):
You're not gonna get rid of ice, goof Okay, rolling
hard with the Cube instead of ice Cube.

Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
Fine, that's you gotta say ice. Yeah, that's you.

Speaker 5 (01:31:31):
That's your roll dog now right. He's a guy that's
gonna take you under. You got to give him some
props in the wrap. That's wrap rule number one. I
was told they homage to those that are above you.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
I was told they want me to move to Los Angeles,
and get with his production team and and stay there
permanently and just do rap.

Speaker 5 (01:31:49):
Does this make sense to you? Does it make sense
to your wife? That's the most important part.

Speaker 1 (01:31:54):
At this point, she wants to get rid of me.

Speaker 4 (01:31:55):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:31:56):
At this point, penny Is said enough. When I start wrapping,
she gets up and leaves. She's mad. And she didn't
get mad at me. I've pulled some things in my life,
never been mad until this. Now she's mad.

Speaker 5 (01:32:09):
I mean, okay, on a scale of one to infuriate it.
Where is this lie compared to when you pose a
new lane across the desk.

Speaker 1 (01:32:18):
In the old studio?

Speaker 8 (01:32:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:32:20):
More or less? I'd say more wow, showing everyone my shortcomings.
She said it was embarrassing. I said, well, it was
part of my job, honey. I had to do it.

Speaker 5 (01:32:30):
But do I have a few story about that? If
I recall was you asked all of us to do it,
and we said, yes, sure, we'll do it. You'll, promised me.
And what happened he did, and we said you gotta
be out of.

Speaker 10 (01:32:40):
You're on your own.

Speaker 1 (01:32:41):
Ain't happen? Seg promised? Is that correct?

So Hunter Green get here quick. That's terrible.

Speaker 10 (01:33:19):
Game two tonight with the Reds and Cubs. Zach Lttel

question I do you agree? I would say one. Will
Green come back from his.

He's got one more rehab of Simon Friday. Got a
request here from Tom Weaveman and Sycamore Township, a request
in eminem for you to join him as the warm
up act at our concert next year.

Speaker 10 (01:33:45):
That's what I'm saying. And could the Rock also make it?
I think what you need to do also is get
a hold of Salt and Pepper.

Speaker 1 (01:33:52):
Are they still around?

Speaker 5 (01:33:53):
Yeah, they're still around. Coverage begins. Cinderella might not be a.

Speaker 1 (01:33:57):
Part of the group anymore, but this mor p up
knowledge for you. Nederella, how'd you know all this stuff.
I was born in the exactly right back in the
radio building high school.

Speaker 10 (01:34:11):
Yeah, you were at the case. Didn't even worry about
us sports talk at six oh five. Are no carriers
kids seven o five Kelsey Chevrolet extrading show after the game.

Speaker 1 (01:34:22):
So you put this down to like a ten minutes
or so. You did all that. It's not bad. You
have talent. No, I did not. You thought about that's
the best I could do in five minutes.

Speaker 10 (01:34:31):
I bet you, he wrote, I bet you, he wrote.
When he was in a D d H with U
Joe Dieters out.

Speaker 5 (01:34:38):
Of serving judge or jugs class us. What's a jug
drink judgment? Under God, it's your punishment if you screw
up at st X, Joe got that all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:34:49):
Yes, it was tied to a he was tied to
a poll and uh and the soccer team took their
time hitting balls into his private parts. I'm just tennis.

Speaker 10 (01:34:59):
Since that, he open up date brought to you by
every sport, every season, every screen at Oakley Greens. Qualifying
matches underway today in beautiful Mason.

Speaker 1 (01:35:08):
He told you that story. He was like masking tape
to a poll by the football field and they took
turns knocking balls into his balls. Can't say say go ahead?

Speaker 10 (01:35:18):
Angles update brought to you by Good Spirits and Party
Town with thirteen locations in northern Kentucky, best bourbon selection anywhere.
Bengals are on the field today. The preseason open to
Thursday night in Philadelphia and Joe and Joe Burrow will
play along with the starters several series.

Speaker 5 (01:35:35):
Right, good guy, have a better start, saying, two winnable
games to start the season.

Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
Got to get him at Cleveland? How big is that?

Speaker 5 (01:35:42):
Bigger than Montone? We don't play well in Cleveland netorically ever.

Speaker 1 (01:35:45):
And then the next game they have a winnable game
on home against two jackson Iowa State. I think Jacksonville,
Tennessau State, Knnessall State. They play here, they should win that.
So what is Taylor one and eleven the last six
seasons and the two games one and eleven? That's the
worst record in football history, By the way, no one's

(01:36:05):
done that. Tell Zach he's setting records? Will you one
in eleven? And Joe Burrow has been there? Coach? We
we gotta just gotta get the defense. How about this?
I saw it this morning on the Sports channels. If
Zach Taylor this year doesn't get to the playoffs, here
comes Bill Belichick or possibly Nick Saban to the Bengals. Yes,

(01:36:30):
now there is rumors out there. And because Nick Saban,
this is a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 5 (01:36:33):
He was on a broadcast and he was asked the question,
would you ever come back to coaching? And his answer
was something to the effect of, I don't see that
happening right.

Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
Now, right now.

Speaker 5 (01:36:45):
He didn't say unequivocally no, there's absolutely he had the
chance to do that, but he didn't. The only way
would make sense for him to come back and coach
again would be if he came back a to the NFL.
He's already conquered college and you have to come to
a place that has a top line, top three in
the world quarterback Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (01:37:04):
Well, a lot of people think it would be.

Speaker 5 (01:37:07):
Let's see the Cowboys if they're if they stink again
and they go ahead and draft Arch Manning next year,
would Mike Brown hire Nick Saban because Zach Taylor has failed.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
No, Zach Taylor's not going anywhere. One and eleven the
first two games, no, all time worst record in football history.
And Bill Belichick is not gonna come here, Bill Belichick,
would that with that note with Jordan, But if Jordan
Hudson comes, I can't say in studio, in studio with
Jordan Hudson, Snoop Dogg and you in studio, that would

(01:37:42):
be would you just just walk off the that's it.
I'm done, Go to the top floor building and jump off.

Speaker 3 (01:37:47):
That's it, And.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
Well we'll see what happens. I'm my owe you hot
foot Sunny in about three weeks. Are you aware of that?

Speaker 8 (01:37:53):
I am?

Speaker 1 (01:37:54):
Monday Night TC U v U, n C. All right,
what's on the big show today? If anything?

Speaker 5 (01:38:00):
