Willie is joined by Ohio State Rep Adam Bird, Author Julie Gunlock, and State Auditor Keith Faber on this edition of the Bill Cunningham Show!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Billy Cunning into Great America. Welcome this war is Sunday
afternoon in the tries date Tuesday afternoon is the Reds
get ready tonight for the All Star Games. Andrew Habitts
schedule to pitch, and Dela Cruz, Dela Cruz and his
mother are both there. Is really Dela Cruz has taken
over the city of Cincinnati as far as his popularity
with the kids. His sister Dies takes off for day

(00:28):
or two, and Ellie promises his mom to fly her
up from the dr to watch him play in the
All Star Game that is tonight. Red's Baseball kicks off
again on Friday night in New York with the Metropolitans Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, and then I cut three more games
and back home. But until then there was quite a
bit of discussion among Republicans whether or not to override

(00:48):
the veto of Governor Mike DeWine when it comes to
school funding, when it comes to real estate taxes, etc.
And I understand from State Representative Adam Byrd of New Richmond,
the Home of the Lions, that is likely to happen
next week on Monday or Tuesday. And State rep Adam Byrd,
Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and state rep.
First of all, describe, if you can, in a succinc way,

(01:10):
why you Republicans want to override the governor's veto when
it comes to school funding, slash real estate taxes. Explain
that to the American people.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Willie, it's great to be with you. It's an honor
to be on the Willie Cunningham Show again and really
appreciate you bringing these issues up before the American people.
And so your listeners probably know that the governor had
sixty seven line item vetos, sixty seven of them. It's
probably a record. And so there's a lot of those

(01:41):
line item vetos that I think that colleagues of mine
are wanting to override. But we have prioritized a couple
that are time sensitive regarding property taxes. And the reason
that the prime time sensitive is because bills do not
become effective until ninety days after they are passed. And

(02:02):
so if we were to override some property taxes is
the you know, if we do that in July, then
you go to August, September, October, and then that's ninety
days and then then you would have to give the
county auditors time in the months of November and December
to make changes for January twenty six. So that's why

(02:23):
we're looking at some property tax issues.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
And you have you need sixty sixty and twenty, which
is six sixty in the House, twenty in the Senate.
And when I head on Speaker, mister Speaker Matt Huffman,
he said, this is something they're going to focus on.
As you know, if you give a high wins the
opportunity to vote no on real estate taxes, which is coming,
we think because the Constitutional Amendment, residents are going to

(02:48):
do it. If you put anything on the ballot to
say do you want your taxes to go up or
be eliminated, guess what, We're going to vote to eliminate
real estate taxes. So is this an attempt to forestall
the idea of voting that thing on the ballot.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I do think that voters are going to make that
very same judgment that you just said that if something
gets on the ballot that says I can abolish all
of my property taxes. My gauge of that really is
that most people will say, yeah, elemin made my property taxes.
I'm all in on that, and so yes, we have
to address this issue. And by not addressing this issue,

(03:25):
we're pouring gasoline on the abolition of property tax movement.
And so the things that we're looking at, there are
three of them, and one of them is giving the
County Budget Commission the authority to reduce unnecessary or ex says,
the property tax collections. That that is one. Number two
that we're looking at is on the twenty miil floor

(03:48):
calculation and that would require that emergency and substitute tax levees,
incremental growth levees, all of those be included in twenty
mil floor calculation. And then the third, the one that
we're looking at for next Monday, is that we would
eliminate the ability for political subdivisions to have emergency have

(04:09):
these replacement levees and fix some substitute levees. So we're
eliminating some of the types of levees that that villages,
township schools could try to pass.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, that all sounds good because if you ask the
average American that lives in Simms Township or lives in
Claremont County what you just said, they have no idea
what you're talking about. That They're going to be said,
do you want to eliminate property? They don't know about
the twenty four mills, they don't know about the county commission,
they don't know about that stuff. They're going to say,
do I want to eliminate my real estate taxes? And

(04:40):
answer is going to be not just yes, it's going
to be hell, yes, I want to eliminate it. Now
I think it's a is it a problem? Because when
I talked to Matt Huffman other people in Columbus, they
tell me that if real estate taxes all go away
and one fell swoop, we got a problem because you
can only raise taxes and raise government moneys to fund
things by either the sales tax or the income tax.

(05:02):
So even though you're conversing in these issues, but the
twenty flour mills, ceiling, et cetera, people aren't going to
hear that. You know what I'm saying. You ought to
go to Claremont County and pull somebody out of that
new Mexican restaurant on the river and say, let me
tell you about the twenty mil floor levee, and he's
going to go, huh, I'd rather get some tacos and
so what the hell are we going to do if

(05:24):
the voters eliminate real estate taxes?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Well, that's a problem, right This movement is growing and
that's right, And so they did not get the signatures
required to get on the November twenty twenty five ballot,
but they're still moving and still working, and so they've
got to get this done by next summer in order
to get it on the November twenty sixth ballot. And
I think the calculation is that you know that they're
going to probably be able to do that. And if

(05:50):
they do that right then right now, Ohio wall allows
schools to ask for an income tax levee. So I
think schools would have to transition from property tax income
tax good luck, and we as a General Assembly would
have to would have to give the authority of county
commissioners to pass a sales or income tax in a

(06:12):
county in order to pay for those services that would
lose property tax revenue.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
We got a problem, Houston. We got a problem because
if it passes, and if you put on a ballot,
do you want to increase your income taxes? Yay, sounds
like a great that's not going to pass either, And
I talked to aveg Ramaswami about this likely the next governor.
He said, well, that would be a problem. We got
to take a look at that. So I guess taking

(06:40):
a look at it means we don't know what the
hell we're going to do.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Is that fair to say, well, yeah, if we knew
what we're going to do, Willie, we would have done
it already. I mean, we've been admiring the problem for
a couple of years, and during the Biden administration, we
know that property tax valuations went crazy because of national
and and so we have not been dealing with it.
It's not an easy issue, and you know, it wasn't

(07:06):
created overnight. We're not going to solve it overnight. But
but yes, we're going to have to if property taxes
are abolished, and we're going to have to find another
way to pay for schools and villages and townships and
cities and sheriff's offices, and it's going to be income
tax or it's going to be sales tax. That's the
only choice.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, and of course Republicans, which I liked the idea
having a flat tax. So we're gonna we're going to
lower the income tax eliminate the real estate taxes and
then what but explain to the American people what happened
with a flat tax? Which I love.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, so we yeah, and the governor signed off on
that he did not align out and be to a
flat tax. And so in Ohio, people who make less
than twenty six thousand dollars pay no tax income tax
at all. If you make twenty six to one hundred thousand,
you were paying two point five percent, and if you
if you, I'm sorry, two point seventy five percent. And
if you made over one hundred thousand, you were paying

(07:58):
three point five percent. And so we're lowing everybody to
the same rate of two point seventy five No matter
how much you make over twenty six thousand, you're going
to pay the same income tax. And most people see
this as a fairness issue. And so the other thing,
Willy people, some people might say, well, you're goingly giving

(08:19):
a tax break to go wealthy. Well, you know, there's
a lot of people out there, Willy, that are making
one hundred thousand is a combined household income, and they're
not millionaires. Okay, one of them might be working for
as a teacher and the other one might be working
as an electrician. Do you think a combined household income
of a teacher, an electrician or is over one hundred thousand?
Of course it is, But we shouldn't be considering those

(08:40):
people wealthy. We're giving these people a tax break by
passing this lat tax.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
And so that's going to be effective.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
When effective in January of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
All right, and so at this point, what are the
probabilities next week have you overriding Governor Mike Dowana often
say the is only democrats. Democrats fight with Democrats, when
there's only Republicans. Republicans fight with Republicans. So what are
the odds of this being overruled? The Governor's Actually, well.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's right. We need a three fifth vote, So that's
sixty House Republicans twenty House senators, and so you know
to do that, we only have sixty five Republicans. Every
Democrat is going to be a no to override the
governor's veto. So you know, we only have sixty five
House Republicans, and so there'll be a couple of them

(09:29):
that won't want to override the governor's veto. We've got
a very slim number here, and we're going to need
everybody to show up and everybody to stay together in
order to provide property tax relief to a highlands and
you know, and that's essentially what we're doing.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I don't know about Claremont County, but in Hambleton County,
these special levees are completely out of control. We vote
on them. Not one special levee's ever lost. We have
the Family Services and Treatment levy. We have the Developmental
Disability Services leve we have the Family Services, Treatment and
Hunger levee. We also have the parks levee. We have

(10:04):
the zoo levee. We got levees coming out of my
ear drum. We've got the Cincinnati Museum levee. We've got
the Zoo and Botanical Gardens levee. We got the tablet
house levee. We got the prevention first levee. We got levees,
levees and more levees. Does every county have thirteen levees?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
No? No, no, no, Hamilton County. You're doing that to yourself, Willie.
I don't know why you guys do that. And you
got to be one of the problems that we've got.
We've got to reduce the political subdivisions that can assess
the levee. So that's a big part of it. And
you also, you forgot you have the half half a
cent sales tax to pay for two stadiums down there.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Which by the way, is not being told at all
in the new deal. We also have the Senior services levee.
We have the injacent care levee. We have the mental
health levee. We have the levee to get the levee
and the levee to get the levee. We have nothing
but levees and we can't. And nobody ever votes against
the animals. They got to Fiona looking at me in
the camera saying I gotta eat. So we have think. Okay,
we got Fionda. We got to pay for that guy.

(11:00):
We've got people going into the Hamley County Library system,
which is largely a homeless shelter during the day. We
got to pay for that. We pay, pay and pay,
and nobody ever votes knowing any of that stuff. Whose
faults that Adam Bird, You got me all fired up
right now. For sure, it's my fault.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Thank you. I there you go. You're the one who voted.
Guests on that, I suppose. But this is why people
are leaving Hamilton County and moving to Kentucky, moving to Indiana,
moving to Claremont Warren in Butler County. They're leaving Hamilton
County because the tax structure there is pretty tough.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Well, let's talk about the stadium. Joe Burrow is going
to have a great year. Of course, the last two
years they've not gotten to the playoffs. Joe Burrow had
the best year any Bengals quarterback ever had, couldn't get
to the playoffs. And now we've got you and Columbus here,
and they're going to give I guess the Cleveland Brown
six hundred million dollars and won't give the Bengals a
damn thing. Explain that to Tony Bender.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
That's not true, Willie. We're given everybody. We're establishing one
point six billion dollars one point seven billion excuse me
of money from unclaimed funds that are sitting there unused.
And we're going to allow arts centers, cultural centers, professional
sports franchises to apply for this money. That so it's

(12:13):
not just for the Bengals, not just for the Browns,
the Dayton Dragons, the Toledo mud Hens, all of these
different places. The Aaronoff Center in Cincinnati is a is
a cultural and arts center. They can apply for this
money to upgrade their facility. And so these unclaimed funds people,
some people are upset about that, but Willie, this money
has been collecting for literally one hundred years, and so

(12:36):
the people to whom this money belongs have long since
passed away, and we're going to find a way to
productively use that. And oh, by the way, that unclaimed
funds amount is growing by over two hundred million dollars
every year, So this is we're finding a creative way
to help arts, cultural and professional sports franchises in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Well, you know, the lawyers are unhappy. Lawsuits have been
fun claiming that you Republicans are taking money out of
the mouth of babes by having these unplaying funds. So
this or people's money. You're confiscating the wealth of Americans
not aware they have unplayed funds. I have thirty seven
dollars waiting for me to pick it up. I told
Tony Bender Gil, I'll give you one third of the

(13:17):
thirty seven dollars if you can find it. But there's
a list of tens of thousands that have over fifty
thousand dollars they've not picked up, and I would think
they haven't picked it up because they're dead. What do
you think?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, many of these people. Again, it's been collected over
one hundred years, and many of these people have long
since passed away. We're finding a very productive way to
use this money because if you invest in professional sports,
franch this, arts centers, cultural centers, we're growing Ohio and
we're making Ohio a better place to live. People want
to move here. It's going to create sales and income

(13:51):
tax for Ohio. This is a great way to use
this money. I don't think that the people who are
going to sue over this are going to have any
chance at all winning.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
So as far as next it's going to be what
you think. You're pretty certain you're going to get the
votes to overturn the governor's line on and veto of
these two or three items, there's about sixty five remaining.
What's the status of those.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, I mean, we'll continue to look into that caucus
as a group of House Republicans and Senate Republicans will
get together as well, and we'll look at some other
ones that will be interested and overwriting a veto on
and and you know, some of them are easier than others.
And you know, some of them, I think are are

(14:31):
pretty easy lift, Like for libraries. The governor over rode
I'm sorry, he vetoed a portion of this bill that
said that libraries must take transgender and LGB material and
other things that are sexually explicit and put them in
the adult section. And I think that's a pretty reasonable

(14:52):
request that we don't put this right in the face
of our young children. And for some reason, Governor Dwane
Vito that, well.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
We got any levees coming up, I'd like to get
your advice on these. What about me voting for the
Cincinnati Public Library levee? How about the Mental Retardation and
Developmental Disabilities levee? How about the Family Services and Treatment levee?
How about the Cincinnati Museum levee? How about the Children's
services levee? How about the Engine and Care levee? How
about the how about the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden levee?

(15:21):
How about the Cultural Facilities Task Force levee? How about
the Icon Sales tax levee? Any advice on voting yes
or no on those.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Well, I think that's a really good point really, that
people keep people past their passing or getting passed, and
then they come to the General Assembly they say, hey,
State Legislature, why won't you get rid of our property taxes?
And we get yelled at and complained about that for
lack of action on our part, while at the same time,
people locally keep passing them, you know, they they vote

(15:52):
yes on them and then come to us and ask
us to do something about it.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Don't you want to feed Fiona and Tucker at the zoo?
Come on, the hippo's got to eat, don't you know
what I mean? What kind of man are you?

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I love the owner. I love the Cincinnati Zoo. It's
a great place.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Maybe those who attend should pay for just say, you know,
I've not been to the zoo many many things. My
mom wouldn't take me there. There was fear they'd keep me.
And so I'm saying that I've not been to the
zoo I think in my life. But I have to
pay for it, and these things never go down. Well.
State Representative Adam Bird will see what happens next week
is going to be interesting and you have until a

(16:32):
year and a half from now to actually overturn the
governor's veto. You have eighteen months till the legislature runs out,
which is a long time, but I think some of
these might be prioritized. And thanks for coming on. We'll
see what happens. Downtown New Richmond's gorgeous. The French Street Cafe,
I love New Mexican Restaurant's good. You don't have any
flooding problems there. When you have a flood, you know
it's coming, you know what to do and things of

(16:54):
that character. But lastly, we have about thirty seconds remaining.
I had on to Sheriff Richard K. Jones the other
day and he wants to have a siren system set up.
I'm sure there'll be some levee supporting it that notifies
the county when there's a flood or a train de ramla.
What do you think about that?

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Well, okay, that sounds great. Who's going to pay for it? Wow?
There you go property tax and think about this, will
we We haven't really talked about property tax versus the fairness.
Should only property tax owners pay for all of these
services that people want? What? Why? Why shouldn't everybody who
is purchasing things in a sales tax? Why Why shouldn't

(17:33):
it's in sales tax? A little bit fair? Yeah, and
property tax should only property tax payers.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
But the bill, I think northern Kentucky and should pay
a lot of our bills. When you come to Hamilton County,
please buy stuff and let them pay for us for
our incompetence. I love that.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
But to Adam Berg, when you and I go to
when we go to Disney World, when we go to Gatlinburg,
we're paying the bills for Florida and Texas and Tennessee
and all of these places. But we don't take advantage
of that tourism kind of opportunity here in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Jack up the sales tax that Tony Bender pays more.
I like that completely, But all the levees are very important.
But Adam Bird, thank you very much. Good luck next week.
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Thank you absolutely. And that's at eleven a m. Next Monday,
Willy early morning time, So stay tuned and hopefully we'll
protect property taxpayers in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
God bless America and God bless Fiona. Let's continue with more.

You have slotted rock. You need phillips rock. Oh, it'd

Speaker 1 (19:04):
You probably think you're four one. Let's continue with more.
We never stop, We simply continue. After one o'clock today
will be Julie Gunlock of the Independent Women's FORMIWF dot
org to talk about public education, transitioning and so much
more from a conservative female mom's perspective. Also later on

(19:24):
as the Great Keith Faber, who's now the hottitor of
the State of Ohio once to become the next Attorney General.
Very likely Keith Faber will be here. Of course, Reds
baseball off until Friday night, but tonight the All Star
Game is with us going to be on fifteen thirty,
Down and Dirty with Moeger et cetera, going to get
it done. I know this moment has passed quickly. The

(19:45):
mainstream media won't deal with it because it's so destructive
of some of their goals and aims. Which was the
day the All Star Game got hijacked. Let's go back
in time just a little bit. The game should not
be in Atlanta tonight, should have been in Atlanta in
July fourteenth of twenty one. Let's go back a little

(20:08):
bit in time to see the fallacy the absurdity of
liberal progressive arguments about race and Jim Crow, etc. You
might recall that Joe Biden, the auto pen president mentally incompetent,
had just been selected by you to be the next president,
shall we say forty six, took office January the twentieth,

(20:28):
and Stacy Abrams had recently again lost as the governorship
of Georgia. And so it was determined, because there was
a less voter turnout and twenty and twenty eighteen in
Georgia than they thought should be, that Governor Kemp and
the Republicans and the Legislature housing the Senate and Georgia

(20:49):
wanted to update the voter laws and the state of Georgia.
A new president was in office, shall we say, a
new president. What was he at that point, about seventy
seven years old, still mentally incompetent, but he got on
the vandwagon about calling Georgia, and Georgia changed to the
voting laws as somehow being Jim Crow twenty twenty one.

(21:12):
Jim Crow. That was the term used by the African
Americans living in the South and the Democratic control for
many centuries, passing laws that apply to them disproportionately. Jim
Crow laws. I say that for those in the gen
Z that might be listening. So decision was made to
pressure Georgia not to pass voter registration laws which had

(21:36):
been adopted by almost every other state. So pressure was
put on Rob Manfred, the foolish Commissioner of Baseball, to
change the All Star Game location from Atlanta to some
other city in state. And they picked. Happened to pick
Colorado and Denver. So the twenty twenty one All Star
Game was in Denver because Georgia was passing laws that

(22:00):
they said it would make it difficult for black folks
to vote in the state of Georgia. As a consequence,
the State of Georgia laws millions and millions of dollars
in revenue and small income. Stacy Abrons didn't mean to
care at all. Stacy Abrons and others pressured Coca Cola
and Delta Airlines, headquartered in Georgia, to pile on, to

(22:22):
increase their DEI departments and to issue public statements condemning
the State of Georgia. This came out of Coca Cola
and came out at Delta Airlines, and the so called
liberal media echoed off the same script with vigor and
they were shocked, shocked that these voter id laws would
be passed in the state of Georgia. And if you

(22:45):
go to MSNBC, CNN, most of the mainstream media, hell,
the sky was falling. It was terrible. Voter suppression was underway.
Black folks can't vote anymore in the State of Georgia.
The new Georgia law, they claim, was without without presidents,
without proof. It would disenfranchise thousands millions of black voters
in State of Georgia, and disproportionately by restricting early voting,

(23:09):
limiting drop boxes, and requiring voter idea, especially something framed
as a modern day poll tax that to pull out
your ID, as my producer Drew does on a regular basis,
here's my ID to vote that somehow that is voter suppression.
So irrelevant to that fact was that Colorado, where the

(23:30):
game was being moved by Major League Baseball in twenty
twenty one, had similar ID laws. But one thing that
Georgia law did was expand early voting to seventeen statewide,
which is a lot more than many Blue states. Never
mind the facts and that absentee balloting would be extremely easy.
The fact that you had to have an ID to

(23:50):
vote angered major League Baseball. They didn't have the baseballs
to stand up and say, wait a minute. We're in
the baseball business. We're not in the voter suppression business.
We don't know what's going on. And it didn't stop there.
The lies continued. Stacy Abrams appeared on every late night
TV host show from Kimmel to Colbert, repeating Jim Crow,

(24:13):
Jim Crow, Jim Crow. The goal was not to debate
the merits of whether the voter suppression laws as they
described it was fair or not. It was to teach
Georgia a lesson. We're going to show Georgia as the
cutout for other states that may want to have voter
ID laws. So what happened of the doom and gloom. Well,

(24:33):
Georgia held elections in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty
four under the new law that Baseball itself found racist, inflammatory,
disenfranchising black folks, et cetera. Well, the facts are in
and when you lie repeatedly and manipulate opinion for your

(24:56):
political purpose, never admit you're wrong. I ever hold up
any In fact, I think I haven't seen the story
yet on this of you that the Major League Baseball,
Coca Cola Delta airlines are all wrong. In fact, they
were damnable wrong. In twenty twenty two, compared to twenty
eighteen before the law was passed, voter surged two hundred

(25:21):
and twelve percent in primary balloting. Turnout among black folks
not only matched, but in most counties surpassed previous levels.
Seventeen percent more black people voted in the state of
Georgia in twenty twenty two, nineteen percent more voted in
twenty twenty four than voted in twenty eighteen before the

(25:42):
law was passed, and no one was offered the opportunity
to somehow revise and consider or reconcile their facts and
their opinion with reality. Reality is in the voter suppression
laws did not suppress voters. In fact, they encouraged him

(26:02):
to vote, especially because of absentee voting, taking away reasons
to get a ballot and voter id mean it was
hard to cheat and easy to vote. In fact, the
suppression laws didn't suppress anything. Accept the credibility of MSNBC
and CNN unbelievable. So it was announced that later on,

(26:28):
and quietly, I might add, in twenty twenty three, after
the results of the twenty twenty two election was in
that quietly Rob Manford, who is a clown with a
capital K, announced well, really, the All Star Game will
return to Atlanta in twenty twenty five. There was no

(26:48):
press conference, no maya copa's, just a quiet issue of
a statement. Then he avoided the media for the next
several months. But oddly, when these things occur, who really suffers?
It is not the Atlanta braves that are worth about
two billion dollars. No, No, it's the workers around the stadium.

(27:09):
It's the vendors, it's the contractors, it's the caterers. It's
the bartenders, it's the small businesses, most minority owned, who
missed out on once in a lifetime opportunity. It was
economic sabotage of African Americans. It was, and it was
all done for what It was done for a lie.

(27:32):
And let's not forget, let's not forget the All Star Game.
It was Biden himself who used the power, the prestige,
and the weight of the presidency to pressure a private
business and the punishing a sovereign state, that private business

(27:54):
being Major League Baseball, and that sovereign state beat the
state of Georgia. You might recall the protests in the marches,
the ridiculously yelling and shouting Jim Crow, Jim Crow, back
and forth. Stacy Abrams, who called for this financial retaliation
against her own constituents, have never been held to account.
In fact, she announced again she's going to run for

(28:15):
governor for a third time. And these are so called
important national leaders from all the Democrats, from the President,
from the Vice President Kamala Harris, from Stacy Abrams, all
of them waging lies and misinformation against Georgia voters that
turned out to be a complete lie, and no one

(28:37):
asked the hard questions, do you think black folks cannot
aren't bright enough to get an ID? Are they bright
enough to get on a plane with an idea? Are
they bright enough to get a passport? The Democrats said, no,
they're not smart enough. They're stupid. That's what Democrats said.
And as the game preceded in twenty twenty one, the

(29:00):
jobs lost, the lies repeated, integrity shattered, and no one
remembers but me the Great American, and all the accusations
of the so called white Republicans in Georgia to update
the voter registration laws to require an ID, to expand
voting days, to make it easy to get an absentee ballot,

(29:23):
to purge the voter rolls of those that have been
dead six years ago, they're still dead. And in the meantime,
working class Americans living in Georgia lost income, especially black
Atlanta residents or somehow not so confused that they couldn't
get an ID to vote. But have you seen all

(29:46):
the stories on this? Have you seen the media going
back in time? Since it is the All Star Game tonight?
You know what? We're sorry, we were wrong. Have you
heard Stacy Abras No, she moved on. I've seen some
recent interviews she's conducted in which she lays out all
the the reasons why she should be the next governor
of the state of Georgia. So tonight in Atlanta, when
the game kicks off and the cameras pan across the stadium,

(30:09):
remember the people who tried to make this happen and
didn't get it done in twenty twenty one. And remember
the so called journalist who chose activism over truth. And
let's celebrate that, among other things. Put that in your
pipe and smoke it. And secondly, before we go much further,

(30:31):
as you may know, Bill Cunningham and seven hundred WLW
is public radio. We are radio, and I think I'm
in the public and I think we use the public airwaves.
Am I right or wrong about this? If you believe,
if you can hear me right now, you hear me
through airwaves or through our apps. And I'm speaking publicly

(30:53):
in its radio and the government doesn't give me or
anyone around here five hundred million dollars to conduct public radio.
And you decide whether you want to listen or not
by turning offer on the dial and putting us on
a preset that's the reason. By Friday of this week,

(31:13):
the clock is ticking for our tax dollars, about five
hundred million dollars a year, whether to keep NPR and
PBS alive. And the reason Democrats are fighting so hard
for VXU and GUC in this market and hundreds of
other radio stations, it's because they're an outlet for their viewpoints.

(31:34):
Do not believe for a moment that the same Democrats
who yell Jim Crow, Jim Crow, Jim Crow in the
All Star Game are the same Democrats that now say
we got to keep NPR. Why keep NPR when in
this market there's about twenty five radio stations. It's because
they represent the viewpoints of the Democrat Party. If NPR

(31:55):
was conservative, the Democrats couldn't care less. And the argument
that rural Americans are worried about losing their access to
the world is a bunch of bs. And they're trying
to apply this argument to Collins and Murkowski, maybe Holly
and some other senators. If you live in the middle
of nowhere and do not have internet, do not have

(32:19):
telephone service, do not have a satellite, have no way
of reaching any necessary information, well you've chosen that lifestyle.
That's what you want. That's the deal, and taxpayers like
you and I should not be on the hook. So
you can get off that problem. And if you want
news from PBS, donate specifically to the station, give them money,

(32:43):
but don't make me pay tax dollars to fund a competitor,
which is PBS or NPR. I have to pay my
tax dollars five hundred million dollars a year in order
to fund a competitor. And we are public radio. The
great American is public radio. And the reason the left

(33:06):
is so energized, they're mobilized that we provide about a
billion dollars a year in taxpayer funded propaganda and they
don't want to lose it. Hell, I don't blame them.
If NPR was all conservative or libertarian, then the opposite
might be true. I would hope the libertarian among us
would not demand that our tax dollars be used to

(33:27):
support an outlet for their political viewpoints. And to the left,
to the progressives, to the Democrats, NPR is very valuable.
It's a megaphone that we pay for and we can
only afford to lose four votes in the Senate. And
I said months ago when this came up. It's been
around for about sixty years, likely to be around for

(33:50):
another fifty or sixty years. But Republican Republicans don't have
the coyonees to vote it down. The left is mobilized
because we spend tax dollars dispensing their viewpoint to you,
and they need it today's world. That's why the vote
by Friday is going to be important. Do I think

(34:11):
the recision is going to pass? I don't know. I
don't know. But it's only it's only it's only a
billion dollars a year. A billion here, a billionaire, it's
a billion. Not a big deal. Well, how about having
a NPR for conservatism and libertarianism and see if you
liberals want to pay for that? What do you think? No,

(34:32):
So we struggle, we fight. Been around for over one
hundred years. LW is public Radio, and believe it or not,
of the whole existence of this radio channel, I've been
here for more than forty percent of the time. And
I'm not funded by the US government or the state
of Ohio, Kentucky, or in Indiana. I'm funded by the
advertisers who spend money so that you buy their products

(34:55):
while listening to me and find my endorsements worthwhile. Why
can't in PR had the same formula. And if you
want to pay for that, please pay for it. Go
get them, but don't make me coercively pay for your
listening desires. Because it is an outlet for your propaganda.
That's what it is. NPR is completely utterly leftist progressive propaganda,

(35:19):
that's what it is. And if you think your tax
dollars should fund propaganda, whether you call it USAID or
whether you call it NPR, is stupid. It's really stupid.
You're not serious about the deficit and debt. If you
fund leftist propaganda, well let's continue. Don't make any sense.
Raise your hand, thank you, thank you. Coming up next

(35:42):
to me, Julie Gunlock of the Independent Whomen's Form about
many issues, especially when it comes to motherhood and conservatism,
and later on as Keith Favor the Auditor of State
to talk about the moneys he's saving for you. So
just to reflect to what tonight's all star game, the
lies hold by the left and Georgia, none of it materialized.

(36:04):
And secondly, NPR please fund it. Vxhu's great. If you
want to listen to it. Don't make me pay tax
dollars to support your propaganda. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven
hundred Wow about what's happening in the world today, especially
focusing on children and women and men and everyone else.
And Julie Gunlock. If you have a daughter or a

(36:25):
granddaughter and you want to say you want to overwhelm
and overcome the propaganda in public schools, especially in colleges,
you must go to IWF dot org Independentwomen's Forum dot
org and see what other women are discussing about the
important issues. And Julie Gunlock, welcome again to the Bill
Cunningham Show. And first of all, Julie, just over just
how important do you give me the overview of what's

(36:48):
happening with Donald Trump and the White House now been
about six months that he's been there, and the change
that we see already on college campuses at the universities.
I know it's affected because the left's crying like crazy.
In general, how has been to change the last six months?

Speaker 4 (37:03):
It is win after when after when both domestically and internationally,
we are seeing peace throughout the world. We are seeing
our economy coming back, we are seeing more confidence in
the markets. It is an incredible time to be an American.

(37:23):
And thanks to the Supreme Court, we now have a
president who can actually act like a president in ruling
after ruling after ruling. The Supreme Court has given the
president what heretofore was thought to be the normal operations
of a president, which is acting on reforms to the

(37:43):
executive branch. But that actually had to be reformed by
the Supreme Court. And thank god, the Trump administration has
been so smart about this. They've gone the legal route,
They've gone through all the way to the Supreme Court,
and the Supreme Court again has now reaffirmed what most
voters believe. Most Americans believe is that when you elect
a president, he is allowed to do presidential things. So

(38:07):
be prepared for more winning.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
What a novel idea. And the other day the US
Supreme Court said the president can control the hiring and
firing at the US Department of Education, which is under
the authority of the executive branch of government. That'd be
like the president telling the Supreme Court who your law
clerks have to be. It doesn't work that way. Separate,
how we say, but equal, and each of the three
branches control it. Now, schools almost getting ready to start

(38:32):
in about three weeks, and I'm watching I'm one of
those weird people that watch the NEA convention National Education Association,
which is the largest teachers union in the country. And also,
I would note that you live near Washington.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
D C.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. No parent with a choice
would send their kid to Cincinnati public schools. If there's
a choice, I would assume that no parent in the
right mind would send their children to Washington d C.
Public schools in their right mind. And I saw Paul
wack gallup the other day that about sixty five percent
of Americans do not like the public school system, which

(39:09):
must continue, of course, as is. And so do you
find it amazing the NEA spends all of its time
attacking Donald Trump and not dealing with the education of
America's children.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Yeah, the NEA and the other teachers unions have not
cared about student achievement or students themselves or parents, for
goodness sake, for decades. I'm not sure they ever did.
But these organizations, these labor unions, are absolutely corrupt and
corrosive and damaging to the educational system in this country.
They really cared, they would care about the poor literacy

(39:41):
rates and math achievements in this country, which are actually
dangerous from a national security standpoint. If we are not
educating our students to be able to take on innovation
and frankly the defense of our country, that is dangerous.
They don't care about this. They certainly don't care about
parents' rights and what THEA is about now. And these

(40:01):
other teachers' unions, what they exist to do is to
maintain the status quo, to refuse academic choice to parents,
educational choice to parents, and to keep kids trapped in
these broken schools. Look full. Choice is about choice, and
if parents choose in areas of the country where, for instance,

(40:22):
thirty five percent of people say they like their public schools,
if they want to continue in those public schools. Nobody
objects to that. But we want to give people an
opportunity to choose beyond the public schools. Perhaps if you're
from a very conservative Catholic family, or you want to
send your children to a Jewish institution or an institution
run by Muslims, or maybe maybe a school is really

(40:44):
good in sports right, or maybe you want your children
to go to an artsy school. We want to give
parents that maybe you just want your children to learn
to read. Okay, take the standards. Yeah, you know, we
want to give people those opportunities. Nobody has suggesting destroying
the public school education system in this country. It's about
reform and it's about getting kids the basics so they

(41:07):
can go on to being productive members of our society.
I don't know why the Teachers Union is against that,
but they are.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Well. It's a classic diversion tactic, that is, let's not
discuss the failures of our policies, for God's sakes, and
the failure of us to perform our essential functions as educators.
Why don't we blame some inanimate object behind a tree
somewhere and blame that person, the orange man, blame him
for our problems. He's only been there about six months,

(41:34):
and we see what's going on. And one thing hurting
I think is the lack of failure. You can't have
a fourteen year old boy or girl in the second grade,
and so it is known that in the public school
system in the urban areas, there's no such a thing
as failing. There's those such a thing as expectations, there's
no such a thing as requiring parental involvement, and so

(41:55):
you simply pass someone to the next grade irrespective of
their mastering of the academic pursuits required for that grade level.
And I can recall, going back twenty some years, George
Bush said that it is a fourth grade guarantee that
by the third or fourth grade your kids should be
able to read and do basic math. And of course
that was racist, sexist, and homophobic. We can't do that,

(42:16):
and so wouldn't it be nice if we had a
system in schools where the parents had to be involved.
Secondly there was achievement goals, and thirdly, no such thing
as social promotion. What do you think about that one?

Speaker 4 (42:29):
You know, honestly. What also is amazing to me is
that they are not talking about the lingering effects of COVID,
the COVID closures which they championed, and they wanted to
go on and on and on. We are seeing a
generation of lost children that will never be able to
live productive lives because of the actions of these teachers
unions that insisted that the schools be closed, and they

(42:50):
used it as a bargaining chip to get more money,
more vacation, more better retirement benefits. And I guarantee you
they had memory hold that whole issue. Never apologize. There
have never been any statement saying, Okay, we won't do
this again. They don't look back and say, Okay, these
are the decisions. These are the bad decisions. And you
know why because Trump is elected and now all they're

(43:11):
going to do is talk about Trump, Trump Trump. And
frankly Trump hadn't been elected, all it would have been
is a cheerleading section for Kamala. This organization is nothing
more than an adjunct of the Democrat Party.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Can you imagine Kamala Harris as the president with the oh,
just the name, It just gets my hemorrhoids doing the macarena?
I mean, can you imagine Kamala Harris with the problems
in Causa and the Ukraine, in our cities and that
mom Donnie's about to seize power in New York City

(43:43):
and Kamala Harris is the president? What Tim Wiltz the
marshmallow Man, Oh my god, the thought.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
It would have been, It really would have been awful.
And I mean, look, we've still got major urban areas
in this country that are going communists, that are hopefully
electing communists and supporters like this Minneapolis, the Somalian American
Uh nominee for for Minneapolis, the Minneapols and and uh yeah,

(44:11):
the mayor of Minneapolis, and and Mom Donnie. I mean,
it is really shocking what we're seeing in certain areas
of this country. Thank god Trump is there, and thank
god we have the House and Senate by Razor thin Margins.
But we better keep them because it is terrifle. Look,
but the Democrat Party is the party of from the

(44:32):
river to the sea. They are they are the party
of killing Jews, they are the party of Hamas support.
They're the party of defund police, of of of harming
kids through these shutdowns. I mean, there is nothing good
and they're getting more and more radical. When you when
when David Hogg was too conservative for the d NC,
you got a problem.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Oh can you imagine David Hogg, Mom Donnie and the
King Jefferies in charge of us. Anyway, let's move on
to something else, because my mind is going nuts right
now thinking of President Kamala Harris. I can't handle it.
You wrote a great column. And I have a friend
of her friend who tells me that they have a
daughter who's thirteen years old, who believes she's in she's

(45:15):
a daughter. She's a female, but she's locked in a
female body. She wants to become a male, and the
system in school, etc. Encourages her to transition. And you
have a great column up that says, the mom's guide
to parenting trans questioning kids. We don't let miners buy
alcohol or cigarettes, but we let them cut off their genitals.

(45:35):
So can you tell me? Can you tell me a
mom's guide? You're like a mother in fact, you can
have children. I cannot believe it or not. I don't
have a uterus, and I cannot produce children, no matter
how much I would like to. In fact, I think
if men could get pregnant, I think abortion would be
a sacra sacrament. That's a different y. So can you
talk about a mom's guide to parenting trans questioning kids.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Well, this is the reason these things are so part
reason that we try to release this guide to parents
is because parents are being lied to not just from
school officials, but from medical officials, medical personnel, which is
probably the biggest tragedy here. And one of the reasons
is that the medical community, like many institutions in this country,

(46:17):
has been sort of taken over by the radical left,
and many of These medical organizations like the AMA and
the American Pediatric Associates Association are run by a small
cadre of medical officials who are wildly left. They take
over these organizations and then they issue policies and they
say this represents the entire medical community. It's a total lie.

(46:40):
But some doctors are fooled by this. Some doctors are persuaded.
And one of the lies out there is that if
you do not give your child. This is a horrible,
horrible phrase, but it is used by the left and
it should never be used. But they like to use
the term gender affirming care, which is is sex denying,

(47:02):
mutilating surgeries and cross sex hormones. That's what it really is, okay,
And these poor parents are told if they deny their
children these medical interventions and their child will commit suicide.
That is a terrible sophie's choice for parents. What do
they do? Do they risk their son or daughter committing
suicide or do they mutilate their child? And so the

(47:24):
reason that we wrote this guide is to explain to
them these phrases that are being used, the politics at play,
the great manipulation at play, and why the medical community
frankly and the psychology community cannot be trusted on this stuff.
They are denying facts, they are denying science, and it
is a very dangerous time for kids right now. So

(47:45):
we wanted to offer parents some very basic guidance on
how to navigate these really, really difficult conversations with your kid.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
You know, the live daughter or dead son is the
argument being used. And you have a posting that says
children of all a being a courage to entertain the
dangerous myth they're born in the wrong body. Is a
good parenting or to immediately affirm such declaration stopping natural puberty,
removing healthy breast tissue, and even removing or altering healthy

(48:13):
sexual organs. And every now and then I see d
transitioners who are now twenty five and thirty years old
whose lives have been ruined because of puberty blockers and
or surgery. And if someone is twenty or twenty five
years old and wants to have it done, I may
have a problem with that. If Tony Bender, my producer,
shows up at the optimologist office and say, hey, doc,
I identify as a blind man. Take out my eyeballs,

(48:37):
would the eye doctors say, hey, Tony, I want to
affirm what you think you are. I'm taking out your eyeballs?
Would that work?

Speaker 4 (48:42):
I'm I am so glad that you say that, because
I am not one of these libertarian types who says, hey,
you're an adult, you get to do whatever you want. No,
you don't. If I if I suddenly identify as a quadriplegic,
are they going to snip my spine? Are they going
to cut my legs off? I mean, this is not
We should not be being basically telling people who have
a mental issue, a mental health issue, that we're going

(49:05):
to do whatever. Do we affirm women who are and
young men who are dealing with anorexia nervosa or bolimia. No,
we don't affirm that kind of behavior. You know, there
are lots of children who identify as certain things and
we let them grow out of it, We let their
brains mature. And look, the evidence is clear. Over in Sweden,

(49:27):
they have done a tremendous amount of research on this
and it shows that something like ninety percent of kids
who have some sort of body more dysphoric issues grow
out of it and go on to live very normal
lives where they have not mutilated their bodies. They are
not on cross sex hormones and they go on to
have normal lives. The fact that we are actually altering

(49:49):
these children before they've reached maturity. And frankly, again, if
you are an adult and you identify as a different sex,
you should not affirm that. You should get I'm counseling
and help them to live in the body God gave them.
Nobody is born in the wrong body. This is a
sickness that should be treated, not affirmed.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Lastly, you're one of your specialties at IWF dot Org,
Julie Gunlock his health things of that character. Right now,
Bobby Kennedy Junior is in the cross airs of the
ame the Pediatric Association by issuing different guidelines that he's
not saying don't get vaccines. He's saying, here's the information.
As a mother or father, you decide do you have

(50:29):
empathy for the verbal attack that Bobby Kennedy Junior is under.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
You know, Billy, I got to be honest with you.
I'm not not a huge fan of RK. I have
worked on vaccine issue for many years and I am
disappointed with some of the actions that he has taken.
I am also disappointed to be honest with you. In
this recent you know, everybody's celebrating this week that you know, oh,
you know ice cream is taking the dies out of

(50:56):
ice cream and taking the dies out of this and
you know, different paths super restaurants switching from from vegetable
or seed oil to to tallow. You know, it's still
French fries, and it's still ice cream made with fat
and cream and sugar, and so do I. And the
infantestimal amount, the teeny teeny dose of red dye or

(51:18):
whatever you're getting it is not harmful. We need to
be teaching better eating habits, more exercise, getting kids outside,
getting off their phones. Okay, this is the stuff. This
is true health. Okay, taking a teeny tiny tiny bit
of dye out of ice cream isn't going to do
a dang thing to make anyone healthier. This is an
unpopular opinion, especially with mono crowd. But I'm a little

(51:39):
tired of this stuff. And you know, I'm really tired
of people who say this stuff and then stick botulism
in their face, okay, botex in their face and get
all sorts of different you know, procedures. The bottom line
is is that we are an unhealthy society because we
have the freedom to make unhealthy choices that might not
be popular with people, but you know, that's just the

(52:00):
way freedom is. That's the way liberty is. You can
make unhealthy decisions. And these tiny ingredient changes to food
items are only going to make them more expensive and
they're not going to make us healthier. So I don't
exactly support everything on the vaccine issues. I think he's
made some pretty startling and provocative moves, but I will

(52:23):
tell you my sympathy is with him sometimes because this
wouldn't be happening if the public health industry and the
public health sort of arena hadn't acted so poorly during COVID.
And what's more, they never apologized. Never, There was never
any constriction, and not one person Fauci. He walks around
still acting like a proud peacock. He never said, you

(52:44):
know what, we overstepped. We should have done better. I
shouldn't have funded that. Wuhan said, No, he never did.
And so this is what you get when you treat
people like this, When you shut down businesses, when you
force people to put foreign substances into their bodies, you
bet you're going to get an anti VAXX movement, and
so you know, I'm sort of I have complicated opinions
on this, yes, but but I feel like, you know,

(53:05):
the publical community, the courages are what they got.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
Well, I'd say this, Jolly Gunlock. The crowd that says
de transition or shall I say transitioning, cutting off genitals
is okay, abortion is okay, Botox is great. But Bill
Cunningham candy his blue eminem's. I mean when I like
blue eminem, so I pick out the red ones. I
like the blue ones. And somehow I'm the problem. But
I can get boat talks, abortion, transitioning kids. That's all okay,

(53:31):
But damn it, those blue mms are driving me nuts.
All Right, we got to run I WF dot Org.
Julie Gunlock, you're the best. You're laughing. Thanks again, thanks
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
Thank you, Julie always love it takes all.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Right, God bless you. Well, let's continue with more. Eliminate
the blue em and ms as a health crisis for you.
Bill Cunningham seven hundred WL. I don't know he Hello, Buiet,
I'm broadcasting all right segment. This is the All Star break.

(54:11):
But I have here in my left hand. Yes, the
Reds all time lineup? What as selected by the Cincinnati Inquirer.
They know it all the all time lineup? Are you ready?
Number fourteen? There's that number? Man, where's he at? Don't
come that. We're gonna go first base? First? Oh, okay,
first base. They put Joe e Vato over Tony Perez.

(54:37):
Who they have is the d H which I you know? Okay,
that's all right, I mean that's okay if they're in
the lineup, is that? Yeah? Both? Yeah, second base, that's
a layup. Correct number eight? No, no, don blessing game.
I'm only kidding Joe Morgan. Gonna see what Joe Morgan?
He said, Now here's the shortstop. Well, you got the

(54:58):
nominees are Barry Larkin the Great number eleven, fifteen he
had fifteen for a year or two. Or Davy conceptsy
on the Great number thirteen in Will Chamberlain. Who do
they have it short? Either Barry or Davy? I say Barry?
Who they got on there? I'm not gonna tell you
what do you say? I'll say the Man of Bowler.

(55:21):
That's it, because he's got the World Series ring, which
are christ Dave VP, but he was the MVP of
the league with conception even close to getting the MVP
of the leg I don't think so. I think third base,
third base. There's that number again, Pete wild Man's buddy.
Wild Man's butt buddy, is what you said? That's his

(55:41):
butt buddy. You never met on baseball? You know that southfield?
So first base Joe e Vado, second base Joe Morgan,
shortstop Barry Larkin, and third base Pete Rose. You know,
put those four against any infielders. Now you're gonna and
we gotta go to catcher, not go to catcher yet,
that's a little I think it's Dan bill Ardello. How'd

(56:02):
you know that? Anyway? I don't know left field or
Johnny Edwards ten years with the Reds, MVP in the
National and the American League. Number twenty bingo, Frank Robinson.
Robinson should have ever been traded? Well, I met in
a hotel room once in Detroit. Okay, I'm up there

(56:24):
playing baseball with Hal Pennington's team. Yeah, with my buddy
Bob Ornsen, and we knew the Reds the Orioles were
in town to play Detroit and we had a free
afternoon we were staying and the same hotel as the
Reds I saw, so I'm sorry, same hotel as the Oriols.
And I watched some of the oriol players running around

(56:44):
and I say, why didn't you? And I walk up
to Frank Robinson and say, hello, We're from Cincinnati. So
I said, okay, let's do it. We waited around the lobby,
acting as if you know, they were autographed seekers that
said at Brice Robinson, pretty good walker twenty Frank Robinson.
I walked up to him and said, I called him

(57:05):
mister Robinson, opposite for missus Robinson. It was mister Robinson, right.
I said, I'm from Cincinnati. We're here to play in
a tournament. He looked at me and said, so what,
and he walked away. I'll say, I said, okay, oh,
well your big moment, my moment of glory. Wow? He
said so what and walked away. What the hell? Anyway,

(57:26):
I didn't meet him in a hotel. That's good. How
about Eric Davis and center number forty four? What about
that Ben getting better than that? But how about the
best Reds player of the first fifty years of the
twentieth century who played center field, ed Rousch. Do you
think Ed Roush or Eric Davis. I'm going with forty four.

(57:51):
Right Field had five or six great years with the
Big Red Machine, went to the Mets and George Foster
in his prime, in in their prime. I'll put that team.
And then the catcher not Dan Beardello, Johnny Edwards, Not

(58:12):
Johnny Edwards. Not ed about Ed Thominson, Eddie Thobinson. No,
come on one too, Ryan Hannigan one, two, three, four,
Johnny Benn that's it right there, Johnny Bench, Now on
the mound, starting pitcher? Could it be suits Mario Soto?
Pretty good? Jim Maloney. I think he was the best

(58:36):
pitcher of the Reds ever had until he hurt his shoulder.
I think Marty would agree with.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
Me on that one.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
The DH was Tony Perez, Tony Perez epa Rixy huh now, Rixy?
What about Bob Perky number twenty three? He was pretty good?
How about Jose Blame it on Riotberg's Rijo? What about him?
I put him in there too. Now we have the

(59:04):
manager and we have the we get well, let me
guess that the manager's number ten. Can't say number ten,
you're gonna say Spartan Anderson. I thank you who was
fired by the Reds? Right it was fired? Yeah? Number ten?
Well he traded Frank Robinson. How do you doing Detroit?
Pretty darn good? And the relief pitcher wild man's favorite

(59:28):
Danny Graves. Correct. Wow over the missile? Yes, wow over
the missile so that its first base is Vodo, Second
is Joe Morgan, shortest Barry, third is Pete. Outfield is
left field Robinson, center, Eric Davis, and not Ed Rausch.
I think Jim's gott plays softball with Ed Eddie Roush.

(59:49):
Right field is George Foster. Managing is Sparky d h
is Tony Perez. Right handed pitcher is reliever is Danny Graves.
Eppa Rixie the mount Wow, how about that? I'll know
about that. I say, give me some sports, will he

(01:00:33):
Danny from Dayton says, what about Tom Seaver? Wouldn't he hear?
But he's only here a couple of years. What about
Tom Browning? Well, that's pritting, that's hop bad either. I
think Jose blame it on Ree in a big game.
There's two games he pitched against Oakland, gave up a
total of one and two games. Steinberg's Tom sever but
in his prime. I would take Tom Seaver or Jim

(01:00:58):
Maloney in their prime and worse hand Hamilton, Joe Noxie.
Where is he not out on the list? I bet
you he would be on the pitching staff. How about
all the time broadcasters? I'll give you an option, Red Barber,
Al Michaels, George Bryson, Marty Brenahan or Tommy Thrall. What

(01:01:26):
is the all time people? Yes? What about the Cowboy?
That's the second one? Oh you mean overall? Okay, overall?
I would say Marty's number one. I got this from
Russ Jackson. He knows everything. Oh boy, Epper Rixy is
the only Red starting pitcher to spend the majority of
his scurred with the Reds. Who's in Cooperstown? There's see,

(01:01:47):
those are the facts I rely about. Okay, the only
Reds pitcher primarily here in Cooperstown is Upper Ricksy. Sever
was here five plus years. But Epper, do you remember
Epi Rixy? I know the name, but not No, I
wasn't about Bubbles Hargrove. I remember, I remember, I remember him.
I've heard of that name. Yes, Epa ricks the only

(01:02:10):
starting pitching for the Reds spend most of his time here.
That's the differential right there with you agree? All star update. Well,
he brought to you by Cincinnati Tax Resolution Power by
TOPE call five one three five one three t o
p H. Of course, Seattle's Kyle Rally wins the home
run Derby last night. He's known as the big Dumper

(01:02:34):
first catcher and to win the home run Derby and
the second Mariners player to win it, is the big
Dumper a compliment or a criticism. I guess we hits
him or something. I don't think he's fat. He takes
a big dump and then the second Mariners player to
win the home run Derby since Ken Griffy. That's that
your guy, Now, why didn't the Reds all time team

(01:02:55):
have on either of the Griffies, Because right field, what
about Parkway? What about Dave Park, the Cobra, it was
right here about three or four years, but I think
George Foster was here six years, seven years. I don't know.
That's all up to the choir. Don't blame us. Andrew
Abbott and Elie day La Cruz represent the Reds Tonight,

(01:03:17):
Willie and the at L with the All Star Game
and Action at eight on ESPN fifteen thirty, and one
of these days, I think dla Cruz is going to
going to go into the home run derby. But I
think it's a little you know, I like to have
seen him do it.

Speaker 6 (01:03:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
It wouldn't been interest that the other cruise guy from
Pittsburgh hit went completely out of Truest Park last night
over the roof. Where is it, like fived, I guess
it's Stone, guess it's I guess it's still rolling toward Augusta.
But why is any hustle on the field segment? Who
that you mean?

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
The guy from the Pirates didn't run. Pirates are just
they got one or two guys, So That's about it.
What about Paul Skeens he pitches to He starts tonight
for the National League? Well, what about Abbit see pitching habbit?
Will pitch said? He told Charlie Goldsmith he's likely to
pitch in the fifth and sixth inning tonight. I got
me an update to hear from Social Security? Aaron up

(01:04:16):
to Grove. You know why he's called the big dumper.
I'm afraid to ask, but go right ahead. He's called
the big dumper because he takes big dumps. How do
they know that's sick? I put the people monitoring now
when you go to the bathroom because he has a
large backside. Well that's what that's the guy's nickname. Is

(01:04:38):
that a good nickname for the Well? I mean he
got you know, I mean they Lee May was the
Big Bopper twenty three right, Well, skiing Pride to Birmingham, Alabama.
What about Skens and the girlfriend? Wonder what she's going
to have on tonight? Nothing? Thank you? You think Jordan's
what's your name going to show up? Show up? Jordan Hudson. Well,

(01:05:00):
I'm not sure her. Guy is in the Baseball All
Star Game. Bill Belichick just he might just show up.
He might show up with her. How about a stear
off between Olivia Dunn and Judson Hudson. That would be
action city there, Jordan Hudson? Would that be interesting? And

locations in northern Kentucky. The Bengals willy open up with

Trey Hendrickson and Or Stewart. The twenty twenty five inductees
to the Bengals Ring of Honor will be announced tomorrow

(01:05:48):
morning at ten a m. We've been pushing for Bob Trumpy.
See what I hope he and the great Number sixty
two get in FC Cincinnati back in action tomorrow night,
getting at a bitter taste of a defeat out of
their system to the Columbus Crew last Saturday. But it
doesn't get any easier as the Big M rolls into

(01:06:10):
town Messy and enter Miami CF tomorrow night TQL Stadium.
It's a blue out where Blue Messi's got ten goals
in his last five MLS matches. He averages two per game,
which in soccer is pretty good, right, I would say so. Yes.
So he's probably in town as we speak, or going

(01:06:32):
to be. But the way he hangs out messy, messy
wherever he wants. He's in inturgible, up in the sky somewhere,
just kind of floating around. Maybe he's at the Purple
Poulay in New York. Might want to call him, ask him,
is MESSI there? Who made a mess? Messy? Messy? It's
messy at the Purple Pulay on York Street in Newport.

(01:06:56):
If you want to go with me to the Purple Poulay,
why not? If you're I and I'm flying, I bet
you're cheap. How about you and the wild Man getting
together and debate the great issues about the purple at
the be great. It's his color. He loves purple. I
love purple too. I walked in love. Although he went
to Anderson, he does like Elder a lot. But he's

(01:07:16):
in the Hall of Fame. There are you in the
Hall of Fame of Cole Raine. He wants to know,
are you in the Hall of Fame? I'm a distinguished alumni.
Are you at Deer Park, Yes, okay, first class and
then he's on the What is he on the wall
at Indian Hill. I don't understand why a guy at
Anderson goes to Indian Hill. I don't. I mean, I don't.

(01:07:38):
I don't get it. I mean that's like you saying, hey,
I want to I'm I'm the I'm the I'm on
the I'm on the way with Ted McKay at the park.
But then you know, you say, well, I'm really I'll
go to Sycamore, I'll go whatever, the home of the Aviators.
I don't know, segment. We have nothing but issues everywhere.
But Olivia donn b George Hudson. That's a match up

(01:08:01):
right there. What would Rock say? What would the Rock say?
And a stare down between those two, he'd probably go
with Olivia. How about Paul Skins coming here to pitch?
Would that be something? I can't say. The Powers may
trade him at some point. Yeah, they're gonna get They're
gonna get half the Yankees to trade him. Judge, get

(01:08:24):
them all, Tonton and all of them, right, get them all.
Did they want to play in Pittsburgh? Not good. They're
probably already thinking about the they've been thinking about the
Steelers since the day after opening day? When when's the
Steelers open? I've bet Paul's thinking about Olivia. What do
you think? That's for sure gymnastic in our approach to life?

(01:08:45):
Where's the name big Thumper? Big Dumper came from? Well,
you learned something new every day on this show. So
that's the guys. That's the guy's nickname. Sorry, how long
will how long will it be before he's out of
out of Oakland, which I guess is no Seattle Settle. Well,
he'll be an open Sacramento and then Las Vegas No,
and yeah, and then uh, he'll probably be a Yankee
by in two years. Everybody will be a Yankee. That's true.

(01:09:08):
Everybody either that or a Dodger, that's for sure. All right,
say give me out of the Stude report. We've scheduled
the state auditor, Keith Faber for two oh five. Yeah,
and we'll see if he comes on him he's got
the guts, he don't have the guts. I think he'll

get the governor on again? I've called him twice. He
says he wants to wait till the veto thread. Oh,

(01:09:30):
I see which is next week? I see? I head

seven hundred WLW by Billy cunning into Great American. Keith
Faber is making a state visit. As you may know,
Keith Faber is the auditor of the State of Ohio.

(01:10:59):
And Keith Favor welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And Keith, where does life find you this afternoon? If anywhere?

Speaker 8 (01:11:07):
I am in Middletown, going to be meeting with some
local leaders here at the chamber and gonna be talking
about good government.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
Now you sent me a text here which is an
incredible story. Well, first of all, can you tell the
American people what in the heck does the state auditor do?
If anything?

Speaker 8 (01:11:24):
Well, I always say, we're the watchdog for Bobb and
Buddy Buckeye's tax dollars. We go out and catch people
who are lying, stealing, and cheating with tax money, and
we keep your tax dollars safe. I don't know at individuals,
I don't know in businesses, and I have absolutely nothing
to do with collecting taxes. But if somebody's wasting your
tax dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:11:42):
Were on it, you sent me a case here. Former
Allen County Regional Transit Authority Executive director guilty and all
counts and theft of twenty seven thousand dollars. Now what
did this person do, if anything that resulted in maybe
years in jail.

Speaker 8 (01:11:59):
Well, she really did two big things. One is she
had a scheme to where she would take money from
the Regional Transit Authority and send it to the levee
campaign to help finance the levee. And you know, the
Ohio law is pretty clear you can't use taxpayer dollars
to ask taxpayers for more of their money. And it
was bad enough if she just did that that the

(01:12:20):
real scheme was to hide it from our auditors and
hide it from the public. And that's what she was
convicted of seven felonies. In addition to that, she actually
had the goll to have the Regional Transit Authority pay
for her interviewing trips trying to find a new job,
and so we put her, we convicted her. I actually
tried that case personally, and look, we're trying to say

(01:12:42):
to people, if you're going to waste our views or
steal tax dollars, you're not safe anywhere Ohio.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
So really she received little direct benefits as a person,
but Sheili Haney used taxpayer money for her benefit to
unlawfully influence the out come of a Levey election. So
did most of the money she steal go to the
levee campaign. Then she had some ancillary benefit personally.

Speaker 8 (01:13:09):
Yeah, she stole about two to three grand personally on
this personal trip for interviews that she charged the RTA
four and she also got reimbursed for those by the
interviewing companies. But that was about three grand. But most
of the money was She had the scheme where she
would pretend to donate vehicles to nonprofits and then she

(01:13:29):
would sell them and take the money from the sale
and put it into the Levee committee. And one of
her defenses was, well, I didn't profit from this personally. Yes,
I was going to keep my job at the levee passed,
and yes I asked for a big raise up to
the levee past, but I didn't I didn't financially benefit personally.
The short answer is the law doesn't require financially benefited.
The law only requires us to prove that she was lying, cheating,

(01:13:54):
and stealing and trying.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
To hide her cover up.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
How do you discover such things? Is it a tipper
was in an How do you discover this?

Speaker 8 (01:14:02):
Most of our cases come from tips, and that's why
I always tell your viewers one eight sixty six Sphrauto H.
One eight sixty six Sphrauto H or Ohio Auditor dot gov.
But this one actually came from our audit team. We're
in there doing our annual audit. We go in audit
government entities every single year, or every other year if
they don't spend very much money. But our audit team
was in there auditing. They came across vehicles, and as

(01:14:25):
a capital asset a vehicle when they get rid of it,
we want to know what happened to the vehicle and
what happened to the money. And their stories kept changing
as to what happened to these vehicles, and so our
audit team tipped off our criminal unit, our special investigations unit,
and they went in there with our forensic auditors and
the rest is history.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
And unlike other cases, Keith Faber, you're like a real person,
an attorney, and you actually tried the case yourself. Did
I hear that correctly?

Speaker 8 (01:14:53):
You are correct. I might be the first state auditor
in history to actually ever go and personally prosecute somebody.
We were appointed by the Allen a prosecutor. My team
was to be the special prosecutors. We've got expertise. We've
got men and women with badges and guns and guns
as our investigators. We partnered them up with forendsic auditors,
and then I've got a team of full time special

(01:15:13):
prosecutors who go in prosecute these They're very specialized. We
had over sixty exhibits. As a lawyer, you know what
that means. That's an awful lot of paper in a
case like this. And so we go in and we
prosecute those and it's funny story. I was appointed by
the local prosecutor along with my lawyers as special prosecutor.
In a meeting with my lawyers, one of them said, hey,

(01:15:35):
why don't you come up and prosecute this with us?
And I said absolutely, I'm been And so I did
the grand jury and then we prosecuted it and got
a conviction on all seven charges.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
How long was the jury trial? Was it? Many days?

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Four days?

Speaker 8 (01:15:48):
We started on Monday. The jury came back Thursday night
at about five o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
I would thank the Allen County prosecutor. Is more than
a happened to pass this case on to you? Is
that fair to say I don't want to deal with that.

Speaker 8 (01:16:00):
That's usually the case. That's usually the case numbers cases,
you know, these white collar crime cases, these tax dollar thiefs.
Usually it's more of a specialized case than your average
run of a no murder rate, those kind of cases,
and so they often pass those off to us because
that's what our prosecutors do.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
They're really good.

Speaker 8 (01:16:18):
I haven't looked at our actual conviction rate, but I
think we're there near one hundred and forty to zero
on our convictions since I've been auditor. We might have
lost one that I'm not thinking of, but I don't
remember one. And our people get in there. Our auditors
are really good. Our teams are professionals, and we have
the resources to get the convictions, and candidly, that's what
we do.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
Your press release to me said Special Investigations Unit has
assisted with one hundred and forty two convictions resulting in
more than thirteen million dollars in restoration. By the way,
is she able to restore this money back to the
taxpayer or is she broken in jail?

Speaker 8 (01:16:57):
Well, she's not in prison yet. She had moved to
Tech and was working down there doing something. You know,
we will ask for a restitution order which will follow
her until she pays it back. And my guess is
one of her conditions she will probably get some degree
of community control. On seven f three, she could do,

(01:17:17):
you know, twenty years if the judge or orders them
to be consecutive. So my guess is she'll have some
time hanging over. She won't get she probably won't get this.
You know, she's a non violent offender with no criminal record,
so the odds are she'll she'll do a little bit
of time, but probably not twenty years, and so she'll
have some time hanging over and hopefully she'll.

Speaker 4 (01:17:38):
Pay us back.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
Keith Faber or a state auditor. What about some of
the other cases. You have one hundred and forty two
convictions that stand out as being particularly brazen.

Speaker 8 (01:17:49):
The other big one out there is the Columbus suoitcase.
My auditors went into the Columbus zooit case after we
got alerted to it, and found that the problem with
the Columbus Zoo, with the executive stealing money and living
the lifestyles of the Richmond famous on Columba Zoo assets,
was much worse than what the zoo board thought, and
we worked with the Delaware County prosecutor of the Attorney

(01:18:09):
General's Office, and by prosecutors went in and we convicted
five of the executives, five of the leaders of the
Columba Zoo, some of which are doing upwards of seven
years in the state prison. I always say they're guested
the people of Ohio for an extended period of time
for their misdeeds, and that ended up being millions of dollars.
I think it was ended up being about two point
three two point four million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
What crime did they commit, because I would assume these
individuals had no previous record, it's a white collar crime
at the zoo. What did they do.

Speaker 8 (01:18:39):
Well, they were involved in largely. What they did was
living the lifestyle of Richard famous on zoo assets. So
what they did is they took zoo resources knowingly and
then used them for personal benefit. For example, they would
have the zoo pay for a luxury loge at one
of the sporting events for one of the guys and
his buddies to go see a concert. They used the

(01:19:03):
country club that the zoo paid for, and he would
have as one of the executives, would have all those
family members and everybody go dying at the country club
on the zoo. One of the guys they had a
motor home, and he used that motor home for personal
use all around the country, build it back to the zoo.
I mean, this is the kind of stuff that they
did over and over again, and it was real clear

(01:19:25):
that they knew.

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
What they were doing.

Speaker 8 (01:19:26):
Again, I always tell people the misdeed is one thing.
To cover up makes it worse, and in this case,
they took steps to try and cover it up, and
that made it worse, and the judge just wasn't having it.
At a certain point. When you try and take what
I think is one of the best zoos in the world,
not just in Ohio, and use it for your personal use,

(01:19:49):
it really really something that ought to be accounted for.

Speaker 1 (01:19:52):
Now, lastly, my sources tell me you're going to run
for Attorney General next year. What is right and what
is wrong with the present age?

Speaker 8 (01:20:02):
Well, there's a lot of things that Davio's does well.
He was my predecessor in the State Auditor's Office. He
handed me a well running organization. But there are things
that the AG's office can do better, and one of
them is you know, the AG's office runs the State
Crime Lab, it's called BCI, and certainly it can be
more supportive of our local cops and prosecutors around Ohio.

(01:20:24):
We certainly can take OPATA, which is the Law Enforcement
Training Arm and up the training and support our police
officers there. You know how important it is for our
local prosecutors and police to have a law and order
environment and to get the support they need, and that's
certainly something we're going to make a priority. But one
of the big things we're going to emphasize, and this

(01:20:45):
is just taking what Dave's done and building upon it,
is elder abuse and the cyber fraud stuff that we're
seeing out there, these cyber criminals. It's for most of us,
it's not a question of if, it's a question of
when you're going to get hit, and we need to
take a better stand and say don't come to Ohio.
And so we're going to up up that unit and
go after these people who are trying to take advantage

(01:21:05):
of senior citizens and frankly all of us.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
They doesn't go by that.

Speaker 8 (01:21:09):
I don't get five or six telephone calls trying to
convince me that my medicare advantage plan should be relocated. Well,
I'm not Medicare advantage and I'm certainly not Medicare eligible.
And all of those are scam calls trying to get
financial information from people. We need to crack down on those,
and we'll make a big effort.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
To do that.

Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
It'd be great on your phone on my cell. I
always get these pitches that I get them like everyone else.
It's maddening. I wish there's a way to stop it.
I think senior citizens shall always say are more vulnerable
than others because they're not as sophisticated as perhaps they
should be. And these are scams in which you have
to and there's a worn out for your arrest. I
got a couple recently in which there was some toll

(01:21:52):
I didn't didn't pay in New York. I've been there
in about ten years. And if I don't call in
and give them my credit card number, I'm going to
be arrested in the morning. What do you think about that?

Speaker 8 (01:22:03):
Right, all of those are scams. I tell everybody, do
not give anybody any information over the phone. If they
call you, it's a scam. Law enforcement, legitimate entities. Do
not call you your credit card company generally doesn't even
call you. I was driving from Cleveland to Columbus about
a month ago, and I got somebody purporting to be
Chase Banks fraud department asking me if I applied for

(01:22:25):
a credit card in Chicago, and the answer is, of
course I didn't. And once once I said I didn't,
they started wanting a whole bunch of information.

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
And what tipped me off.

Speaker 8 (01:22:34):
Is somebody who lives in this world was they started
asking me questions, well, a short answer if it's really
Chase fraud, And they wanted to know whether you applied
for a credit card. Once you told them no, that's
the end of the conversation because either they deny the
application and they move on. But you know, they wanted
to transfer me to a supervisor and all the other stuff.
After I actually hung up on them, they called me
back three times saying, hey, we were disconnected. I said, no,

(01:22:57):
we weren't disconnected, your scammer. I'm up on you. Ultimately,
if somebody calls you like that, the best piece of
advice flip over your credit card on the backs are
real numbers on your credit card. That's the number you
use to communicate with them. Don't give numbers that they do.
Don't go over the internet. All of that stuff can
be scammed. Call that real number. When I did, I
called Chase, asked for their fraud department, talk to them,

(01:23:18):
and lo and behold, it was not the Chase credit
card company that called me. They did not have a
fake application in my name. They just wanted to get
information so they could submit a f a fake application.
They also do that stuff that's happening out there, and.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
Keith Saber, they also did this on the internet. That's
just a telephone call. I get emails all the time
about someone using my credit card which I don't have
in some distant market, or PayPal, which I don't use PayPal,
and I'm told that someone's charging PayPal. If a consumer
is told I don't have a PayPal account or an
Apple pay account, and I don't do that, and nonetheless,

(01:23:54):
I'm told that I have to contact this number or
else is going to charge to my PayPal or Apple
pay account twelve hundred dollars for something. And should you
even bother to contact them or just ignore it?

Speaker 8 (01:24:08):
Ignore it because it's a scam. Once you contact them,
they will get your information. They're gonna say, well, well,
tell me your card number so we know which the
talent you're talking about. Even though they send you the email,
they're scamming. They're fishing for information. These scammers are really
good social engineers, and they're going to try and get
information for you. Just ignore it and delete it. If
it's an actual real challenge. When you actually see the

(01:24:29):
charge on your account, you can contest it and their
processes for that, but do not respond. The other one
I love seeing Bill, is you just want to free
gas grill from the low sweep Steaks or the home
depot or somebody else is sending you something. Let me
give you a hint. You never entered the SUP stakes.
You didn't win it, and so it's a scam to
get information from you, and so do not respond to

(01:24:50):
those emails. Do not respond to those texts. The scammers
are really good at social engineering, and they're going to
try and get information from you, and what they're doing
is just they're scammers. That's the kind of stuff. I
don't know how many saw the Beekeeper movie, and I
always say I wish I had some more guys out
there like the Beekeeper to go out and catch these

(01:25:12):
people who are scamming people, particularly senior citizens, and bring
them to know what I would call traditional you know,
range justice or Old West justice. But the reality is
you've got to rely on governmententities, and the Attorney General's
office is one of those places that can do more.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
Lastly, about a minute remaining, Keith Faber, we have a
situation in Cincinnati, the city thereof, in which large numbers
of individuals engage in riotous misbehavior, largely without consequences. We
live in a city where you can openly smoke marijuana,
buying and selling drugs on the city streets, and the
cops are told don't enforce those laws. I see around

(01:25:52):
Central PARKWAYOTR, Saint Francis, Seraph, large numbers of individuals engaging
themselves in open air prostitution, drug sales, marijuana use, and worse,
and the city cops they're overstretched under They're overwhelmed and stretched,
and they can't respond properly. If you become the Attorney
general and Cincinnati remains a sanctuary city, in which, believe

(01:26:15):
it or not, there is going to be two thousand
cars stolen in the city of Cincinnati this year, along
with another one thousand cars in the county. So in
hamletin County, we're gonna have three thousand cars stolen. We
have open air use of drugs. The city police do
not enforce traffic laws. They put in speed bumps. Is
there something you can do about any of that?

Speaker 8 (01:26:39):
Absolutely, And let me start out by saying, the first
thing you have to do is support law enforcement. If
the police aren't supported, it's going to be not be
very long before they start questioning how they do their
job and.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
The level that they do their job.

Speaker 8 (01:26:52):
And you know, we need to support our law enforcement
period and make sure that we have their back. Now,
if there's a bad actor, the first people that want
to get rid of a bad actor and law enforcement
are good cops, and most cops are good, and so
that we need to start with that premise. The second
thing we need to do is start telling we're going
to prosecute things. You've seen this over and over. It
used to be the broken window approach. You know, you

(01:27:15):
fix the broken windows because you don't want the rest
of the community to deteriorate. And if you ignore small crimes,
it doesn't take very long for people to believe you're
also going to ignore the big ones. And we're seeing
this in cities all across the country, and certainly starting
to see this in Ohio and where we've got progressive,
left wing prosecutors that think it's doing somebody a favor

(01:27:35):
by ignoring the law and not enforcing the law. But
we're going to see our communities suffer, and that's something
we just can't accept.

Speaker 1 (01:27:42):
Keith's favorite, good luck to you and getting the scoundrels
out of the public trough, and a good luck to
you in your efforts, and good luck there in Westchester
going to Middletown Home a segment Dennison Keith Favor. Thank

Little league playing in the backyard, whatever, do they not
call the guy that comes to the plate to batter.
I've never heard a guy come to the plate and
they say, you know, this is a walker. You know
who wants to buy a ticket and come to watch
somebody walk.

Speaker 1 (01:28:23):
I'm not here to do that. I'm here to see you, jacket.

Speaker 9 (01:28:46):
Yeah, no one should the ballpark, same boy, we lay
down a couple of fantastic buns tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
I'm gonna do my job. Men paying a lime time
money to watch it. He's got a point, doesn't he?

Speaker 9 (01:28:56):
N cowboy, and you wonder why people are The players
are all trying to hit home runs.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
Second baseman trying to hit home runs. Chicks dig the
long ball. Olivia done? How about that? And it's a
shout down between her and Jordan Hudson. I understand that
the All Star Game, the two of them are going
to go at it because Belichick isn't down with the
A C C. And she's going to be there with
Paul Skeens. Is going to be a shout down. It's

(01:29:23):
gonna be I'll take don you take o? Olivia done? Yeah?
In a fight we're talking or are we talking? They're
gonna stare at each other, just look at each other.

Speaker 9 (01:29:30):
Very flexible I feel that that would help her enough
out of you. That's what I've researched. These things.

Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
Is my job. I got to watch all the videos. Yeah,
I don't want to do one right now. You better
turn that on. That off. It looked like wild man.

Speaker 9 (01:29:45):
We're supposed to have that stuff, but bender may walk
in and see this on a work computer.

Speaker 1 (01:29:48):
Right, you got some you got I think you got
Hudson as a mermaid, he said research. I'm thinking Tonight's
All Star game should be something especially Velly Day. You
guess one thing, I watched a little bit of Home
Run Derby.

Speaker 9 (01:30:02):
Those uniforms are awful looking, aren't they awful looking?

Speaker 1 (01:30:05):
He lnl.

Speaker 9 (01:30:06):
Yeah, like a weird childering a weird pa. It looks
like like a three year old, just like Stamp the logo.

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
So we're trying to be that guy that was the
Braves logo like from nineteen seventy two to like nineteen eighty.
The a right, and I don't mind the logo. But
one thing I give Baseball, thank god, thank god tonight.
The players from now on are going to be able
to wear their individual uniforms like that, and says, so

(01:30:31):
stupid things they've been wearing the past few days, a
few years at just say National League on. It looks
like some jacket you get in the garage. You know
it's Tony Benneran. I got a memo today. We're on
a bowling team. We're going to bowl today at four o'clock.
If you noticed that I forgot to wear my red
bowling shirt today. Yes, yes, talk to each other and
coordinate what you're wearing. Yeah, you guys run into UC

(01:30:52):
Bearcat bowling team. Though I'm just saying the Central bowling
team red and black. I'm only going to bowl if
you have santra the cold rain? Are you running for?

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:31:02):
Wait, I bet it speaking of you know I talked
to you this morning. Yes, sir, gotta get him on.

Speaker 9 (01:31:09):
We're gonna have a meeting of the minds here soon.
He come in, says he low seg is he coming back?

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
Come say coming in, Paul Rain, come in, say as
you're gonna maybe coach you see about the fifth game
of the year at the Bear Cuts zero and five?
Then what the what about coach? I don't know about set,
don't know at my concerns, But you're ignoring the obvious.
What is the question Olivia don v. How are you

(01:31:35):
told you it's a matchup? Who do you like in
any contest? I'm taking Levy done. You know what. I
think they had to go to SummerSlam. Let's do it.
But she's awfully flexible, referring to Jordan Hudson her in
the Mermaid outfit? The Mermaid outfit? Have you seen that?

Speaker 9 (01:31:53):
When I've seen the one herd doing like the back
layover on Bill Belichick's legs, I I I love the look.
I've looked at that and it's got to be a
I it's got to be a AI generated thing.

Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
But that I'm told it's not better watch that stuff. Man,
I'm telling you what if? What if you were told
by get a hold of that three years because guess
what you're gonna Bill Belichick will be a short line
with some woman in a Mermaid outfit. He'll be on
the in the sand with his legs and arms up
looking like a crab. Yeah, with a fishing vest. Mothers,
big floppy fish. I would that's stupid. Take all my

(01:32:26):
money on that one. That's when I say, when Joe
Burrow takes up with Olivia Dunn, it's going to be controversies,
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (01:32:32):
But he's a smart guy, so maybe maybe this is all.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
Maybe this is all ploy Maybe he's just doing this.

Speaker 9 (01:32:38):
Everyone doubts, seem everyone overlooks they're gonna stink this year,
all of a sudden, all of a sudden, boom boom boom.

Speaker 1 (01:32:45):
What is he seeing that? Influencer's what I don't understand.
How much time do you have? Well? The over unders
nine and a half? Can the Bengals win nine and
a half's over under something? But I'm just saying that
that's what he's interested in. It's backside penetration. I think
I'm not surepending of Dave Lapham. He knows about it.

(01:33:05):
Backside penetration. But nine and a half over runner, Bengals
go over over. Remember I said ten, You said eleven,
I said eleven. Sag said seventeen over nine and a
half feet Baby, I matched the Dolph. Yes, is right
here somewhere they're going to match the Dolphins. You wait
and see seventeen and oh right, Well, then they go
to the play and then all the way to the bowl.

(01:33:26):
If three playoff games are right, oh yeah, long twenty
and oh wouldn't that be something. Wouldn't that be some
that would be solid? Twenty three and oh? Would would
win the whole thing? I think twenty and oh and
he went seventeen and you go skip the from I
think you play three extra games, don't you? Yeah? Super Bowl? Okay,
twenty that's pretty good, isn't that? Twenty and Oh? Wouldn't

(01:33:47):
that be something?

Speaker 2 (01:33:47):

to those at Fox Sports, supposedly is out. She is out.
She's out. They wiped out like six or seven shows
on that chair. She wiped out a few people in
the show as well. Well, that's what it says right here.
That's she has somehow engaged in sexual misbehavior to encourage

(01:35:35):
whaten Who in the hell well.

Speaker 9 (01:35:38):
It was like the producer of the show, like two
of the co hosts. I mean, good lord, come on now,
she was giving away for nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:35:46):
Be a professional a little bit. But if a man
had done the same thing, it would have been a stud.
A woman does it, and she's a whore. Am I
right or wrong about Joy Taylor brought joy to this
day of Fox Sports? One wow that happened today? Thirty
eight year old was named in one one of two

(01:36:06):
lawsuits against former Fox Sports Praying program executive Charlie Dixon.
That's the one Charlie Dixon in this suit. Uh, she
alleges that, uh, she had relations with Charlie Dixon and
he didn't honor his part of the bargain. So you're
admitting to that, Well, she's implying it. Shall we say?

(01:36:28):

Speaker 1 (01:37:17):
What about the me too movement for men? Can men
have a meet too? Time for that pendulum to swing back? Yes,
I really used and abused by Tony Bender. Sue them.
I'm going to sue them. But Joy Taylor said, I
did my part. Now do yours? A deal? Is a deal?
Dixon now is going to climb in a cross suit

(01:37:37):
that it was sexual battery and consensual. He said, we
consented to this relationship.

Speaker 9 (01:37:43):
I mean you're like a lawyer, right, Like, how does
it hold him in cord that I gave this guy
three sex and.

Speaker 1 (01:37:48):
He didn't hold it was? Does that play well?

Speaker 6 (01:37:50):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:37:50):
Okay, No, that's not a winner. The women on the
jury don't like that. Yeah. Can you see a bunch
of older women saying, Okay, we'll go on with that, honey,
not real, Well, you better make sure that's a twelve
man male y male jury. Women don't like that stuff.
You may think they like the Jordan Hudson, but they
don't like that stuff, not at all. It's like what

(01:38:12):
else in sports? Let's see, when's pitch when answer the question?
Answer the question? You didn't ask it yet, apparently nice,
I don't check that out. And then Messi the big
amaz in town for tomorrow night's match with FC Cincinnata

(01:38:32):
against Inner Miami c F. I told Jeff three years ago,
at some point Messi is going to be playing a
t q L. He said, only in your dreams. Well, tonight, bam,
he's there. People can use you for. Is that Ronaldo? People?
My wife says, I look like that Ronaldo guy. You
know how I'm talking. She said, I have the same look.

Speaker 9 (01:38:55):
The same hair, same hair, do the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (01:38:58):
Short hairs getting a little long these days. I think
you're back to go to another Great Cliffs Sports Clips.
Is that where you go? Or I go to Great Clips? Okay,
nineteen dollars. But Ronaldo has this certain look that she says,
when I look at her a certain way, she just
feels Ronaldo. No question about that, but you agree. No,

(01:39:21):
she also has had eye transplants twice.

Speaker 9 (01:39:23):
Now she says, yeah, she also is legally blind.

Speaker 1 (01:39:27):
We can't see, so I don't know, but maybe she's right.
I don't know what's on the big show today. I
know it is back today, right.

Speaker 9 (01:39:33):
No, it's not bad. He had plane trouble. He's in Detroit.
I'm like a deographic expert. But it's like half hours
away south seventy five. Oh, you gotta do in the
car and drive south. No, No, I'll be back tomorrow.
But he's gonna call in the show on me. Right

(01:39:55):
out of date, we have Ken Kober join us, going
to talk about all the youth shootings. What's going on?
Twelve year old shot yesterday? Fourteen year old shot two
days ago? Asked him about that last week? A fifteen
year old I believe this year.

Speaker 1 (01:40:06):
There's going to be over two thousand cars stolen in
the city of Cincinnati. How about that?

Speaker 9 (01:40:10):
So the question is gonna be like, what is this like?
Is this like a cultural like? Is this like a
social What do we blame this song?

Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
How about a twelve year old boy part of the
gang stealing cars? Like Ryan Hinton just stealing cars, and
the owner of the car is a gang banging murderer
who then kills the twelve year old boy in the
back seat and shoots another one of them. And he's
in court today saying, lower my bond, I'm defending my property. Well,
they said it at three million, right, he said, lower

(01:40:38):
from five million to three million. Yeah, you want to
cash or check for that, stir But he claims that
my car was stolen by these punks. This guy's been arrested.
The man thirty one year, been arrested forty times since
he was eighteen, and he's thirty one and that's the
wrong car to steal. Would you agree, yes, don't steal
that guy. Don't steal that guy's car. No, don't do that.

(01:40:59):
So are are you saying that the career criminal? Is
he in the right? I can't say you shouldn't kill somebody.
You can't kill somebody over property, right, right. But he
was angry and he starts shooting them up a little bit.
The twelve year old boy's dead. He's in the terrible

(01:41:20):
But what does the root cause this? That's what we're
going to do. Bad behavior. It's culturally accepted mothers, fathers, Yeah,
black the black. They're wyoming O High the home of
the Cowboys. Fourteen year olds selling drugs, are selling guns
when when you were fifteen trying to get into Deer
Park High School? What were you unsuccessfully? By the way, yes,
thank god? But what were you selling guns to others?

Speaker 9 (01:41:43):
You weren't selling No, I was trying to do some
chores around the house to get a couple of bucks,
or go down the street to the neighbor and aska,
you know, garage.

Speaker 1 (01:41:53):
How about how about a twenty five sellers three eighty
just sell something? Okay, and I'm thinking, okay, something's wrong.
How about the end a CP getting on that issue
instead of the crap about police does not make sense. No,
there's no money in that. No money. I'm sorry. What
else on the biggest.

Speaker 9 (01:42:08):
Let's see we have a workplace expert at four o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:42:12):
You know, I'm looking at Joy Taylor coming out of
the ocean. Did you see Tony Bender walking out of
the ocean in the swim suit.

Speaker 9 (01:42:18):
And a two pet Yes? Yes, Well one of his
many people would search that hunting the old.

Speaker 1 (01:42:24):
Time, pay up, pay up. That's not gonna fly. Deal.
It's a good effort, though, right, that good effort. So
now Charlie Dixon's in the hot seat now with fuck,
they're gonna fire them all. In fact, they did right
yesterday or today.

Speaker 9 (01:42:41):
If men didn't make mistakes with that certain part of
their anatomy, that they would be much better off.

Speaker 1 (01:42:46):
