Speaker 1 (00:07):
By Billy Cunningham, the Great America. Of course, this is
election today, election afternoon. Yours truly intends on voting about
three to four o'clock. Not much on the ballot, but
I will do my constitutional duty to vote, joining you,
and I now is the man in charge of elections
in the state of Ohio. Frank LaRose, the second cousin
of Buddy L. Rosa. Franklrosa, Welcome again to the Bill
Cunningham Show. And as we sit here early on Tuesday afternoon,

(00:30):
any problems, any difficulties, how are we looking?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
But it's an important election. Not everybody necessarily is paying
attention to that, but these are votes that can have
a big impact on your community, quality of life and
that kind of thing. And so you should get out
and make your voice heard. You're not going to impact
any lines or that kind of thing. You'll get a
sticker on your way out the door.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Here's another thing, Willie.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I run into people that say I'm not going to
vote in this local election because I don't know enough
I don't want to guess right, Okay, that's not a
good excuse.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
You go to our website vote Ohio dot gov.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You can cheat on the test, you can look at
exactly what's going to be on your ballot.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
This is what Lauren and I did last night. We
put the kids to bed.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I printed off what's called the sample ballot, where we
saw exactly what's going to be on our ballot, and
we sat there as a couple and we talked about
our choices. Now we're ready to go and well informed
and we know what we're doing.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
That makes no sense at all, because I often say
that if you wake up on Tuesday this morning, and
you say, is the election this Tuesday or next Tuesday?
Or has the election already taken place? In other words,
shall I use the term ill informed? And I know
the media says you got to vote, you got No,
you don't have to vote if you don't know what
you're voting for, if you don't know what the issues are,

(01:45):
if you don't know the pros and cons of each issue.
Don't waste your time and cancel the ballot of someone
who's informed. Do you agree or not?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I think if you do a little bit of research,
you can cast an informed vote. And give you an example,
I didn't know which can candidates for city council where
the conservatives who share my values, because I didn't follow
that all that closely, but I did a little bit
of research. I saw which ones were endorsed by the
County Republican Party, which ones had taken stances that align

(02:16):
with the things I care about.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
And now I'm an informed voter.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
And so you know, I think that with a few
minutes of effort, a little bit of googling, a little
bit of checking their own website or what the newspaper's
candidate guide says, or whatever else, you can be an
informed voter. And it's worth doing because these elections come
down to a small margin. In many cases, local elections
can often come down to just a handful of votes.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Hech.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
We have tie votes every year somewhere in the state
that have to be determined by a coin flip. Don't
be that person that wakes up on Wednesday morning and
realizes that a Bolshevik has just been elected to your
school board because you didn't bother to go vote and
it was determined by a single vote.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
That's that's critical. Yeah, I don't care how busy you are.
You can go online today's world, you can do it.
Twenty years ago you couldn't do it if you op
up twenty years ago and said who's running? I don't know,
how do you find? Well, I don't know. But today
the Encyclopedia Britannica, all the information in the world is
on my right home. I left it in my hand.

(03:17):
And if you don't take it ten minutes to find
out who I'm voting for, we get the government we deserve.
And that worries me too.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Man. Well, consider this.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It's a kind of a tale of two different years.
If you look at the even number years twenty twenty,
twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four, it's been absolutely record
breaking turnout. So this nonsense where the liberals say, I
want to suppress the vote. If that's my objective, I'm
really bad at it. We don't want to suppress anything.
We've had massive turnouts in those even number years. But
then you go one year later to a year like

(03:50):
twenty twenty five and it may be single digits or
low double digits. That's a shame because it matters who
lives in the White House.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
We all know that.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
But what probably matters just as much, maybe more, who
works at the courthouse or the schoolhouse or city hall.
When it comes to your quality of life, the safety
of your community. Heck, the schools that our children are
being educated in.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
This year is the year we make those decisions, and
you've got to make your voice heard.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Frank LeRose, you're making sense. I live in a community
that's safe and sound with good schools. However, we have
a race for the Sycamore Township trustees. We have a
school board race Indian Hill school boards. There's one or
two school issues. I want to pump up as much
as I can in Deer Park Community schools for what
they've done. And so all politics is local. It may

(04:37):
be great if things are good or bad in New
York City, but dammit, I live in Sycamore Township. I
live in Kenwood, and I want my community where I
live to be the best. And the off year elections
is when we decide those things.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Correct every single election here, I give you a prediction.
I can tell you who's gonna win today. In any race,
it's the candidate who gets more of their supporters to
go after the polls Barnet.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's always going to be that way.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
And so whether you live in a city that Leans
Republican or Leans Democrat, there's no such thing as a
long shot race in a local election.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
If people just bother to show up.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
What percent, Frank Lerosa, you're in charge of elections about,
give me your crystal ball prediction in the state of
Ohio overall? What percent of Ohio? When's youre going to
vote today? If anyone you know.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Here's why it's really hard to tell, because it's so localized.
You may have one community where there's a really hot
race for mayor, or people are all hyped up about
the school board race or the levy or whatever else,
and you may have massive turnout. The next town over
it may be a complete sleeper and people aren't really
all that engaged. So it's hard to tell. I can
tell you what we've seen already for early voting, about

(05:46):
four hundred thousand. In fact, the number is three hundred
and ninety nine and eighteen. That's how many people participated
in early voting. We know that right there in Hamilton County,
we've had a decent turnout through early.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Voting as well. It was the number of early.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Voting ballots count counted nineteen two hundred and twenty nine.
That's how many people voted early in Hamilton county. But
we also know there's a lot of outstanding absentee ballots.
What does that mean about fifty thousand people throughout the
state that have requested their absenty ballot and haven't returned
it yet. And so if you're that guy that has
your absentee ballots sitting on your kitchen table or sitting

(06:23):
on the dashboard of your car, it's too late to
mail it. You can't take it to your voting location.
At this point. You got to get it down to
your county Board of Elections by seven thirty, and it's
worth it. Take a drive down to your county Board
of Elections and submit that ballot so that again you
can make sure your voice is heard.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Frank LeRose, your deal was a facts ideal with hyperbole.
Let's say there's twelve million people who live in the
state of Ohio. It is not approximately correct approximately approximately.
I want to hold you do this. How many adults
eighteen and over eleve in the state of Ohio? Is
it nine million? Three million kids in school?

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well near eight point eight point some thing? Because I
know the eligible population of voters in Ohio, we're already
at like ninety three ninety four percent of them that
are registered to vote, and we have seven point eight
million registered voters, so the total number of eligible adults
over eighteen who are US citizens has to be in

(07:18):
the low eights.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
So let's say there's eight million people that could vote,
and of that number, about seven point five million are
register which is fantastic. And then as far as the turnout,
I talk about Hamleton County or the city of Cincinnati,
we got major problems. You may know this if down
the road you become a senator or a congressman, or
a governor or the president, you're gonna have to deal

(07:41):
with the city of Cincinnati, which is a complete meltdown.
And I'm told by Sherry Pulling at the Board of
Elections that the turnout this year may be as high
as twenty five percent, And so that means that thirteen
percent of the registered voters are going to decide the
outcome of this election. That means eighty seven percent or not.
What do you think about that?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think that it's problematic. And again, I think part
of this is that if you flip on your TV
or you go to your favorite social media account, you're
going to see all kinds of chatter about every single
damn thing that happens in Washington, DC. We seem to
be focused on federal issues. I get why they're impactful,
and people lose track of how important local offices are.

(08:24):
Local government is. And again look at our beloved Queen City.
And again I think you know this. I know and
love Cincinnati very well. My dad went to UC. I've
spent a lot of time down there. I was just
down there knocking on doors for Corey Bowman last weekend
because I think he's the right man for the job,
who's finally going to turn this great American city around
and let it be what it was always meant to be,
and that is a thriving place where families can live

(08:45):
and work and raise a family. It's not that right now,
but you know, we need more people to actually get
out and make their voices heard. There are more Republicans
in Hamilton County than almost any other county in the state.
The problem is they're outnumbered. If they actually bother to
go up and vote today, they could flip the Natty.
It's a very real possibility that we could put a

(09:05):
Republican in office in the mayor's office in the city
of Cincinnati. What a tremendous thing that would be.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Now, secondly, we have a situation. You were on the
reapportionment board. You were one of the seven to carve
up the districts. Can you put a period on the sentence?
Be goes to Democrats? And the Republicans agreed to carve
up the congressional districts number one to by correct and
number two. What was the goal?

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, So there was a unanimous and bipartisan vote on
this in the Redistricting Commission. And I think that when
you have a vote like that, both sides are going
to have something they like something they don't like about it.
I don't think anybody loves the process or the way
that the process plays out, but it was at least
a result of consensus building and compromising that kind of thing.

(09:56):
Here's the bottom line. My goal was to go in
there and make sure that first of all, all we
complied with the Constitution.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
We did that.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Second of all, that we create districts that relatively mirror
the political leanings of the state of Ohio.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
And again I believe that we did that.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
And then third, putting on my hat as a Republican,
I want to make sure that I'm not putting my
party in a disadvantage or candidly want to put my
party in an advantageous position on this, and so let's
be candidate about this. What we ended up with was
a map that creates twelve Republican districts and three Democratic districts.
Twelve Republican districts and three Democratic districts. The current state

(10:34):
in Ohio is ten Republican districts and five Democratic districts.
And the challenge that we faced was that if the
legislature had drawn different maps, maybe that created thirteen Republican
districts instead of twelve, it would have certainly been subject.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
To a referendum.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
The Ohio Constitution is very clear that the moment the
leftist dark money groups gather two hundred thousand signatures, it
would freeze the implementation of the current maps.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
It would require us.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
To run the twenty twenty sixth election on the old
maps back to ten to five, and most likely trigger
us having to run in August special election for congressional primaries.
All kinds of chaos, all kinds of bad things, something
that was to be avoided.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
And I look at Greg Lansman's district that appears to
be like a plus six Republican. But I look at
some of the recent voting in that district that's very close.
Whoever you Republicans pick for that district to run against
Greg Lansman going to have to be pretty damn good.
He's a good politician, and it's going to be a
close race, etc. I would add one other thing.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Man, candidates matter, Party chairs matter. State center is a
great woman named Diane Cunningham that's on our state Central Committee.
That'll be involved in that conversation, by the way, But
finding the right candidate matters, and the party's job is
to find the right candidate, and that's something has to
happen over the next couple.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Months, you know, immediate complaining about this. Oh, I asked
you the question, you may know the answer. There's about
six New England states, that being, if my geography is correct,
you got Maine, you got Vermont, you have New Hampshire,
you have Massachusetts, you have Connecticut, you got Rhode Island.
And in those states they're a little bit smaller than

(12:18):
the state of California population wise, those six states how many,
And those six states voted forty percent for Donald Trump.
So you would think about forty percent of the congressional
districts would be Republican. How many Republican congressmen or congress
women are there in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut,

(12:40):
and Rhode Island. Can you, Frank Lerosa, can you give
me a round number? How many?

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, the round number is zero.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
And it's because of Democratic jerryman And by the way,
when the Democrats do it, it doesn't get called out.
When the Republicans do it, every reporter, every leftist journalist
in the state, in the country wants to talk about.
So here's the other thing that happens. Willy city council
wards get redistricted by Democratic city councils.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
In counties that have a county council.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Form of government, like where I grew up in Summit County,
in Cuyahoga County, they redraw the county council districts. They
jerrymander the heck out of that to create a situation
where it's darn near impossible for a Republican to get
elected to city council. No problem to the county council,
and nobody ever says a word of it.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
No problem.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, Illinois seventeen districts, fifteen Democrats, two Republicans, and that's
okay with the media, no problem. We go from there.
But today's going to be a day become informed, then
go vote. Any difficulties at polling places. I know New Jersey.
I was on a station this morning, wond and New

(13:45):
Jersey and they were having the ever having bomb threats
called in and which is stupid. Is there any problem
with voting in the state of Ohio at this point?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Nothing systemic. We've had the small things here and there,
a power outage or you know that kind of thing,
but nothing systemic or widespread. Of course, our operations team
is ready to jump on it if there is. And
by the way, if you see anything that's not right
at your polling location, the first thing you should do
is talk to that voting location manager. They are there
to do that job and they'll correct it under most scenarios.

(14:16):
But we've also got a report line. You can text
the word report to three four two six two three
four two sixty two. You text report and then we'll
be on top of it from the Ohio Secretary of
State's office.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
You can also message us on our website.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Lastly, give the website of ill informed voters want to
become more informed and not be a member of the
board simply a bust to a pole to vote with
a with a blue or a red ballot. Can you
tell me again the website that we need to go
to to become a little bit more informed.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Vote ohio dot gov. That's your place for the right
kind of ID. What to bring you know for your ID,
what polling location to go to, what's going to.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Be on your ballot?

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Really anything you need to be an informed voter anywhere
in the state of Ohio.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Vote Ohio dot go.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
All right, Frank LaRose three four seven tastes so good.
You got to get at bad once again. Thanks for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. You can Jerry Manner
for political reasons. You cannot Jerry Manner for racial reasons.
And the reason many of the Democrats are enraged and
I want to use African American people and voters as
an excuse to throw out the ballots when they do

(15:22):
exactly the same thing. But Jered mannering for political reasons
is good according to US Supreme Court, Jered Manning for
racial reasons is bad, which did not happen in Ohio.
You jerry mandered, so to speak for shall I say,
political reasons and not racial reasons. Frank LaRose, you're a
great American. Thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Thanks Willy, get out and vote.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
God bless America. Thank you, Frank. Let's continue with more
the line becomes available five one to three, seven four, nine,
seven thousand. I'll say once again that if you're what
is it about twelve twenty two in the afternoon on Tuesday,
if you're ill informed, you won't take ten minutes to
go online in order to find out what the issues are.
If you have no clue who's running and don't know

(16:05):
what they stand for, and you're politically a dumb ass,
don't vote because you canceled the ballot of someone who
took the time to become informed. The only way a
democratic republic works is to have informed voters willing to
make changes when things are going the wrong direction. And
if you saimply are given a ballot slapped in your

(16:26):
hand vote for these candidates, then you're stupid and don't vote.
And bright people can be stupid about any issue. Hell,
I'm stupid about a bunch of stuff. I'm not stupid
about politics. Other issues, I'm very stupid. So if you're
ill informed and you're a dumbass on politics, don't vote.
Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred w Bill Cunningham, the

(16:47):
Great American. Of course, the Dreehouse name is well known
for the last fifty years in the Hamlety County. And
I used to run around with Don dree House the
dead along with Sako Wathy and Carol Grow and Pam
Swafford back in the good old days. And one of
Don dree House's children who's mature and tellt himself as
Don dree House, the older and wiser brother of Denise
dree House on County Commission. And Don dree House is

(17:09):
running for city council. Many of the experts say that
Don dry House has a great chance of getting on
council to change things. And Don dree House Junior, welcome
to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Don, first of all,
why are you running for council this year? What is different?

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Well, Bill, you know I actually ran for council thirty
years ago in nineteen ninety five, and I lived over
on the West Side in pricesil for over forty years.
I think it's time for change in this city. I mean,
it just feels like things aren't working properly. I think
we need to get in on this cliche. But you know,
back to basics. We need to just do what the
city should do. And I even talked to my brother

(17:46):
Steve last night and Steve's like, Donnie, He's like, you
know that they we just need more police on the beat.
We need to clean the city streets. Yes, the city
should do what the city should do. We need to
quit forgetting about all this other stuff that's not really
in their purview, not in there, you know, there shouldn't
be of their agenda.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
And I tend to agree with that.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
I mean, I'm I'm endorsed by the Charter, and the
Charter's philosophy over one hundred years is just you know,
let's stick to the city matters and do you know,
let's get this city to work first before we start
expanding our horizons and don jury.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
How's about law enforcement? According to the standards of fifteen
years ago, the city police are down about one hundred
and fifty cops. According to the crimes being committed, and
it appears to be two hundred cops, and that there's
been efforts to pass year or two to get more
cops or to have sideway transfers. I don't know why
somebody would go from Dell High Township or Sharonville, Madaire
to become a Cincinnati cop. I don't know why they

(18:36):
would do that. You have to attract them with money. Well,
if you get on council, what's going to be the
reason that many want to join CPD, which, by the way,
is a tremendously professional police force, is recognized nationally or
was recognized as the gold standard. And now the chief
of police more or less is fired because she wouldn't

(18:56):
do what the mayor wanted her to do in the
city manager. So to getting back to the question on council,
what do you do to attract more men and women
to serve?

Speaker 5 (19:05):
Well, first off, you've got to take the pressure off
the police and fire departments when it comes to calls
for service. Right now, I work actively over in District
three with the group of in District three. I mean,
and our police are fire station is fire Station twenty four.
Their run they're call for service and their runs are
non stop they're always on back up and you can't

(19:28):
be proactive if you're constantly on the on call. To
your point, it's going to take three or four years
if you're going through just the recruiting process to replace
the police that are retiring. So I've actually had some
conversations with the police that were the last week or two.
Talk to some of the guys in the rank and file.
It's like, you know, they're looking to get there.

Speaker 6 (19:48):
They're going to.

Speaker 5 (19:48):
Retire in three or four years. I said, what would
it do to be attractive to keep you on the force.
Is why we're bringing young guys. I said, oh, you know,
just make it a little more. You know, we need
to be respected, we need to be understood that you
you know, you know, we need to be sported.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
And I think first to build morale. But from the
calls for.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
Service side, Bill, I look at it like we can
use technology to see what's driving these calls. Not every
address in the city is driving twenty to thirty calls
for service every month, and we know what this is.
But unfortunately, because of the lack of transparency, we don't
share data fire police, you know, health data. It needs
to be combined and then you look at it and

(20:26):
you go, hey, we've got a problem over here at
address maybe at the corner of Warsaw and you know,
up on Warsaw by Wells, and we need to deal
with this, and we need to deal with it right now,
because we had twenty calls last week where no calls
are happening two blocks away. So then we can start
focusing in on what's really driving it and then maybe
take the pressure off the police and make their job

(20:47):
a little more proactive where they can go out and
just be more get back into the community policing spirit
where you're you know, you're out in the streets, you're
you're seeing what's going on, and you can be a
little more you know, you're not always constantly under threat.
And I think that's the feeling right now. We have
a great police force, one of the oldest in the country.
It's a wonderful police force. I have relatives that have
been on the police force, yes, and we need to

(21:09):
do everything to support our police. And right now I
think they just feel, you.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Know, a little down in the mount you know, Don
Dreehouse the police departments in complete turmoil because their chief
was put on leave, which means she's fired. The mayor
hires a big time law firm to find out why
he did that. The mayor wants to know why I
fired at Fiji and wants to hire this law firm
to bootstrap it up months from now at a cost

(21:37):
of forty thousand dollars plus to tell me why I
did something. Doesn't he know why he did something? And
when this thing starts with Attorney Doug Brannon on the
criminal charges against Alex Schravinsky, I had him on a
couple of days ago, the attorney, and he said, we're
fully in contact with US Attorney's Office, Department of Justice

(21:57):
Civil Rights Division because you had city leaders and state
leaders holding a news conference saying we want a white
person charged with a crime, and that person was Alex Stravinski,
who did nothing wrong other than get beat in the
back of the head. And so the turmoil is only beginning.
If you get on council, you're going to have complete turmoil,

(22:17):
which happened four or five years ago when four or
five were in died it and some went to federal
prison for what they did in office. And now the
command staff is going to be in depositions for day
after day on What did you know? When did you
know it? Why was Thiji fired? Why did the mayor
and city manager say she was doing great work until
a week before? What pressures was brought to break? The

(22:40):
real crap's going to start after the election, in which
we need adults on city Council to see Cincinnati through
the rough waters ahead. There's distant thunder and lightning of
a US attorney who is now sending out subpoenas to
individuals in the city to find out did you really
say you wanted a white person charge with a crime

(23:00):
because that's illegal? So are you ready for the crap
storm about to happen?

Speaker 5 (23:06):
Well, first, Bill, yes, I've actually been through this in
some extent when I was chair of the Housing Authority
back in the early two thousands, after the we had
the riots in Cincinnati, and that was a pretty volatile
period then for you know, everything that was going on
with the police department, the reluctance to be involved. But
when it comes to the chief, the chief should never

(23:26):
been let go. Saying they're now going to investigate it
for the fact makes no sense whatsoever. She did nothing wrong.
I mean, she's look, if I'm on city council. I'm
gonna say, has this decision been made? You want to
move on from the chief? Okay, if you do, let's
settle this and that's it. I said, We're not gonna
we're not gonna turn this into some witch hunt because

(23:47):
it's not right. I mean, she was used as a
scapegout there were back in twenty twenty two, and essence,
she was instructed to kind of we're gonna look at
things in a different way and back off a little bit.
She was just to your points. She was doing what
you told. And now, because of all the reactions to
the incidents that have happened over the summer and recently,
she's being held out as the reason why. And I'm like, no,

(24:10):
that's not the case. Let's just work something out with
the chief and see what.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
We can do.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
But no, we do not need to do some long investigation.
She didn't do anything illegal or wrong. And it implies
that she did, she did not.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
Well.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
The mayor wants the law firm to determine why he
did what he did, and mainly he wants dirt on her.
He wants dirt, he wants to blaspheme and to fame
Teresa Thiji, and she's not going to have it, and
the officers around her is not going to have it,
and so the best thing to do is to drop
this thing, pay her off whatever it takes, and that's

(24:43):
what they're counting on. But Don drey Helse, I pray
to God if I had a vote on council, you'd
be one of the four or five I'd vote for
it because you bring common sense. You have a long
history in this city. You care about the city, fixing
the potholes, removing the snow, doing the basics, and right
now we are in deep trouble. Don dree House once again,
give my best your family to Steven too a Denise,

(25:03):
and may your dad Don dree House rest in peace.
He was a great man him and Soako Weeethy and
Don dree House, you're a great American. Thanks for coming
on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Don, Thank you Bill,
God bless you. Let's continue with more. There you go
full you think the election solves anything, It's just beginning
and we need a new crew to make sure these
mistakes don't happen again. Why smear Chief Thiji for political reasons?

(25:28):
Mayor why do that? And why hire a law firm
to tell you why you did something? Bill Cunningham, who's
Radio seven hundred W all right, Dave Katon, hit the music.
Please hit the music. That's important stuff. Let's continue. Whenever stop,
we simply always continue. First, I want to see a
couple other things. There are two local candidates in Anderson

(25:50):
Township that needs your vote. That is Joshua Girth and
Lexi Loustan. They are law and order types. They're going
to move Anderson Township forward. And also the great lead
Sriwonka and Blue Ash. He's a visionary. He knows what
Blue Ash needs and what it doesn't need. Be an
excellent time in those locales to do that and do
that immediately, if not sooner. Plus I would point out
also that deer Park Community Schools has a levee up

(26:14):
because they haven't been on had had a levee in
seven eight nine years. And there's no better school district
in America, you know, than Deer Park Community Schools. It
raised me properly, and I know levees are always hard
to devote for, but if you live in dllan Vale,
Sycamore Township or the City of deer Park, understand that
deer Park Schools is moving forward. This levee would increase

(26:37):
your taxes by about twenty dollars a month on average,
twenty dollars a month. And right now, as you may know,
deer Park is in the top ten school districts and
all of Hambleton County because of what they've done academically,
what they've done athletically, what they've done to student teacher ratios,
and what they've done with discipline in the schools. It's functional,
it's good, it's about the best there is. So I'm

(26:59):
proud to endorse the deer Park Community School levee. The
levee only costs about twenty dollars and thirteen cents a month,
or about about sixty seven cents a day. And they've
not been back to you for a levee in like
seven eight nine years. And the Chris Housters and the
gym stalls and all the rest the Robertsons understand that

(27:20):
they work hard, work smart. In fact, many years in
Deer Park there are no teachers who leave because once
you come there, it's like the Hotel California. You can't
leave because it functions. It's a walkable community, it's five
minutes from I seventy one, five minutes from I seventy five,
five minutes from Ronald Reagan Highway anywhere in Hamilton County.
The heart and soul of this county is Deer Park

(27:42):
and they seldom asked for a levee because they manage
their money so well. But now's the time, and now's
the hour. The top ten school districts in Hamilton County,
they're up there with Indian Hill, Merriman and Madeira believe
it in not Wyoming. That's how good Deer Park is.
And I don't vote in that district anymore, but I
like to encourage all the parents of Deer Park schools

(28:02):
to get out and vote, because when you do good
things for good people the right way, you should be rewarded.
And this is the school district because of Jim Stall
and because of so many others before him, Chris Euster
that are working hard to provide quality education. And one
thing they've reached out because of Mandy robertson deer Park
head are on about a week ago. It was always
available money from the state and so to defray some

(28:24):
of the expenses by getting specialized programming for middle class
kids with the high school education to start work at
eighty to one hundred thousand dollars a year through workmanship
programs inside the deer Park High School and many Robertson
and Jim Stall and others make sure that happens, and
they do it so when good things happen to good
people should be rewarded. And Deer Park Community schools the

(28:46):
cost is about twenty dollars a month per home to
have these functional schools, which are the critical part. And
even for those that don't have kids in school, your
property values in Deer Park's going up fifty percent in
the past eight years. Fifty percent increase because young families
want to move to deer Park. Everybody wants to move
to deer Park. My producer Dave Keaton would love to

(29:07):
move to deer Park, you know that. And it's just
a wonderful place to be. So please vote for the kids.
When good things happen, reward them. And lastly, we have
Steve Gooden coming up after one o'clock today, one of
the council candidates, and also coming up later Sherry Pulling
from the Board of Elections low after two to see
what's happening. We get the government we deserve. And if

(29:30):
you live in the city of Cincinnati and you don't
vote for change, it's because you're not paying attention or
because you're an ideologue. Because there must be change taking
place in that city. It is awful. The crime, the graffiti,
the open air drug use, the dismantling of the police
department by firing a popular police chief and then seeking

(29:51):
a law for him to dig up dirt on Teresa Thigi?
Are you kidding me? Largely, she's a will employee anyway,
and she can be let go for a good reason,
a bad reason, or no reason. So simply to say
you'll put you on an administrative leave, appoint your successor.
Then I'm going to hire a law firm Frost Brown
Todd to tell me why I did something to justify

(30:13):
The only way to do that is to get dirt
on her. The way to get dirt on her, they think,
is to issue subpoenas to the command staff a CPD
to get dirt on Teresa Thiji. Is that the way
to run our city? Do you think the big idea
of this marriage to have a computer program for removing snow,
which they didn't do the last time. If that was
a great idea, why didn't have it in place a

(30:34):
year ago? That the city's in complete chaos, But you
wouldn't know that by trying to talk to have to
have pureval I'm okay, you're okay. And among the worst
things they do is to interfere with police decisions on
charging people with crime personally, and that is despicable and
it's disgusting. And my source for that is Attorney Doug Brannon.

(30:56):
It was on with me a week ago, off and
on there. He told me that he's been in contact
US Attorney's Office Civil Rights Division in order to provide
them information about a civil rights violation committed by the
city council against his client, Alex Stravinsky, when the city
political leadership, not the police, that political leadership decided to

(31:18):
criminally charge someone because of the color of their skin white.
It's recall the news conference. If you're in the so
called civil rights crowd with that disdained look in your eye,
you can shoot your mouth off, say whatever you want.
It's called the First Amendment.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Have at it.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
If you're Damon Lynch, etc. You can, much like a
talk show host, First Amendment applies. Hey have at it.
Say whatever you want. But when you're a state official
Cecil Thomas, or a city official Lemon Kearney, you can't
stand up and tell the world how stupid you are.
And that Lemon Courney went to Harvard Law School, for
God's sakes, many years ago, about a half century. Nonetheless,

(31:57):
using the power of the city in the state to
charge an innocent man with a crime for political reasons
and racial reasons is the stuff the Democrats did in
the South fifty sixty years ago. Now it's happening in
the city of Cincinnati. I had one other Democratic leader
in the city who must go nameless, saying what a

(32:18):
crap show the city of Cincinnati is. What's no part
of it. So don't believe the hype of the mayor
and others that the city's happy days are here again.
No blood is running in the streets of Cincinnati. Graffiti
and homelessness is everywhere, open air drug use. Cops are demoralized.
Think about that. When you cast your ballot, plus they screwed,
blued and tattooed Hyde Park. Then when you arose like

(32:40):
a mighty tsunami to oppose it, they quickly switched out,
but they're going to come back next year and ram
it right down your throats again. Let's continue later on.
We have a great Steve Goodin later on. Also we
have Sherry pulling from the Board of Elections and more
one o'clock Home of your Reds in Bengals. Plus there's
trades going on Galore Sega. Will have all beginning at

(33:02):
about one point thirty on news Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.
All right, Billy Cunningham the Great America Today, Election Day.
I'm going to put on many of the canage for offices.
I spoke to my friends in Boone County and Kenton
County and not much happening there, not much happening in Indiana.

(33:25):
So we're going to cover Ohio and Cincinnati politics as
much as we can. Coming up later, we'll be Lenda
Matthews and many others including Don Dreehouse going to come
on too to talk later on and about what's happening.
He's running for council, but joining you and I now
as a man that's served on council before. Hopefully he
will serve on council again. That's the honorable Steve Goodin

(33:47):
and Steve, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Steve,
first of all, how do you feel this Tuesday afternoon?
Are you confident? Not confident? Are you typically optimistic? What
are you.

Speaker 6 (33:58):
Well? We try not to be tepid about it anything,
mister cutting Cam. I'll tell you we feel really good
about it. I'm posted up over here at Christ the
King Church cardinval Chelli School in Hyde Park mout lookout area,
and I'll tell you this is a very democratic area.
But we're getting a lot of thumbs up from voters
as they go in. People are fed up. They're fed

(34:18):
up with the crime, They're fed up with the lack
of policing. They're fed up with the graffiti, the litter,
the just lawlessness. And in this neighborhood they're really fed
up and fired up still about that whole development tobacle
and High Park Square. Those people are out in a
big way today the safe High Park Square. People are
campaigning at the polls, educating voters about the six council

(34:40):
members who voted against their interest. So there's a lot
of energy over.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
This way as far as the crime issue. Scott's lun
hint on this morning, one of the business owners in
the area of the so called bar, the Privy Bar,
and what's just yesterday there was another eight people shot
in the city. Gun play is everywhere. There are many judges,
and you know how easy they are. When I talk

(35:04):
to my criminal defense brothers, they tell me how pleased
they are with the bench in Hamley County because it
used to be if you had a criminal defendant you represented,
it was somewhat difficult to get probation, somewhat difficult to
get out on bond. And right now they fly out
out of the courthouse like bats on Easter morning to
get get the hell out. And the whole attitude has changed.

(35:25):
But it begins with the police. What role do you
think that Thiji? I call it the discharge. She's not
coming back anytime soon. And then the mayor and the
city manager had to hire a big time law firm,
Frost Brown in order to tell the mayor why he
fired Fiji. The mayor has to be told why he
did it, which is kind of bast awkwards. But how

(35:46):
big is crime issue when you can flee the city,
ignore the crime and live in the burbs. And that's
what people are doing, that's what businesses are doing. That's
what Procter and Gamble is doing, is what Kroger is doing,
It's what Fit Third Bank is doing, and they're getting
the hell out of Dodge. It's like gun smoke with
mss Kitty. How big is the crime issue? Do you
think in the minds of voters?

Speaker 6 (36:08):
It is? It is the number one issue. You know,
no pun intended, it's number one with a bullet it is.
It is I think the primary motivator of the folks
that we talked to. And Okay for your Democrat or
Republican or Charter or whatever you are, everybody knows that
it's out of hand. It's been trending that way for years.
There's just been a general sense of lawlessness downtown and

(36:29):
then the neighborhood. It started with the open pot smoking
and then the open homelessness. People were allowed to just
camp out everywhere, and now suddenly you have the gun violence.
You know, it's developed over time. We know we are
short police officers. They haven't even revisited the compliment since
two thousand and five, and we were two hundred short

(36:49):
of that number. So we need at least three to
four hundred more police officers. Even be serious, and you
know what, You're absolutely right. These judges have been a disaster. Well,
I was prosecutor twenty years go. If you got caught
with a gun, you've got a high bond, no matter
what to charge. I mean, that's just how it was.
You're going to sit there for at least a few
weeks until we sorted it out, if not longer. So
you know, it's a combination of things. These kind of

(37:12):
this whole sort of progressive move that both the city
Hall and the courthouse has taken has absolutely failed everyone.
And you're right. I feel for the fifth thirds and
you know, the big companies, but I'm really sorry about
these mom and pop businesses, the hair salons, the barber shops,
the places like cook sporting goods. They're the ones who
have their life savings and in these businesses downtown and

(37:34):
they're really feeling the pinch too. So there's a lot
of anger, there's a lot of upset, and hopefully it's
going to result in a in a very different council
this year so that we can start to reverse some
of these policies, higher en up police officers and try
to just make the city safe. I mean, you can't
do anything in this city if you don't feel safe.
And it's that simple.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Ang is relocating to Mason. They didn't announce it. I
just did. I want you to put on your lawyer.
Had I had on Doug Brannon about a week ago.
He's the attorney from the Dayton area civil rights attorney
and the gem City that represents Alex Stravinsky. And two
issues came out of that that Doug Brannon is in
contact with the US Attorney's office about the criminal civil

(38:18):
rights violations by the mayor, the city manager, by lemon
Kearney and others who held news conferences. You might recall normally,
when you do stupid criminal stuff, you want to do
stupid criminal stuff in private. But in this case, they're
so stupid that they called in the TV cameras, they
opened up the microphones and just blair to the world

(38:39):
that we want a white person charged with a crime.
And that white person became Alex Stravinsky. And the reason
was is because he started the whole thing on July
twenty seventh. Alex Stravinsky was the guy. Then it comes
out from three c DC Steve Leeper, my good friend,
that the camera show that it was not Alex Stravinsky

(39:00):
who precipitated this, this riot, this brawl, this beatdown on
Fourth Street. But rather it was the criminals themselves who
started it with two punches to the back of the
head of Alex Stravinsky. So when he slapped someone a
few a minute or two later, it was in defense
and retaliation of what had happened to him first. And
so you're a lawyer. Can civil rights leaders, to be

(39:23):
more specific, can state government representatives like cecil Thomas and
city council members stand up and say, we demand that
the police department filed criminal charges against someone because of
their race. Is that legal?

Speaker 6 (39:39):
Well, Noah, I thought that was settled in this country
about seventy years ago that you can't do that, and
you know, and it was absolutely disgusting.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
And I'll just tell you this.

Speaker 6 (39:47):
I mean, you know, all they had to do was
on that issue was nothing. And that's the one thing
that they typically are really good at at city Hall
when it comes to crimes.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Just do nothing.

Speaker 6 (39:58):
But you know, it's a rush to judgment. They didn't
have all the evidence or well, actually I take that
back now, I'm hearing that they've had these tapes all
along to watch them and have been sitting on them.
That's right. I mean, it's just disgusting. It's not the
way you run a city. I mean, that's third world
stuff where the leader comes out and says, I want
this person charge regardless of the evidence, and I don't

(40:19):
care to see what the evidence is. You know, it's
mob rule. It's not good, it's not right. If it's
one of those things that just chips away at that
general sense of fairness and whether or not you have
any kind of law and order rule of law in
the city. You know, it's it's one of those things
that's going to haunt them all no matter what the

(40:40):
Justice Department does or doesn't do. I've heard the same thing.
They're definitely in town, they're definitely interviewing witnesses and others,
and it's just it's just awful. But even putting all
the legal stuff aside, it just kills the morale with
the police department. None of the officers at the scene
wanted that guy charged, from what I understand, and it's

(41:00):
just clear that politics is trumping what the police officers want,
what the public wants, and here just probably trumping the
plain old facts of what happened. It's a really sick thing.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
And secondly, Doug Brandon, the attorney for Alex Schervinski, said
on our Era a week ago that it has received
discovery from the City Prosecutor's office and the tape from
three c DC exonerating his client was not included. So
he made a telephone call after that, came out and said, hey,

(41:33):
Madame City prosecutor, where's the tape? And she said, we're
going to supplement our discovery later and if you want
a continuance on December the eighth trial date, you can
get it. And so they not only charge someone based
upon their race falsely, then they tried to secrete from
the defense the evidence to prove their client's innocence, which

(41:56):
is you must provide exculpatory information. They also failed to
do that. And in this case, the chief of police
wouldn't sign the charge. According to ken Kober of the
Police Department, the line officers, one of whom was black,
would not sign the charges, and the city prosecutor herself
would not sign the charges. But according to ken Kober
that Emily smart Warner, who's the city solicitor, demanded that

(42:21):
Captain Henny, who by the way, now is the interim
chief of police signed the charges even though he did
investigate the case. So Cancidian state government be used to
file false criminal charges against someone because of their race.
Of course the answers no. But then secondly, the millions
and millions of dollars in damages that Stravinsky suffered at

(42:42):
the hands of state and city government is out there.
So at a minimum, they're going to try to buy
off their silence with a lot of money, which might work.
And with Fiji chief, they may buy off her silence
with an NDA and a bunch of money to keep
this thing quiet. So the mayor of Cincinnati is not
criminally charged, the vice mayor is not criminally charged, the

(43:04):
city manager is not criminally charged. We think we had
problems four or five years ago with that crew going
to federal prison. The same thing could happen. Can you
smell what I'm cooking?

Speaker 6 (43:15):
Absolutely? I mean, first, at a minimum, you're gonna see
millions of taxpayer dollars go out the door over a
street fight on four Street. So I mean it tells
you just how badly managed everything is. But I'll tell
you this, if if we get enough of our folks
on council.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
We're going to have public hearings.

Speaker 6 (43:31):
There's going to be a Truth and Reconciliation commission down
there to try to get into this. I mean the
fact that this is all being played out behind the
scenes and everyone's so lawyered up and no one has
any idea what's happening. We need to have some The
council needs to show some oversight and step in. And
that's one of the problems there. Now you have this

(43:53):
total echo chamber. Everyone's afraid to cross the mayor. We
need to get at the bottom of this and city council.
That's one thing we could do. If we get enough
people on there, we can hold hearings and we can
just rip the lid off this thing and see what's
really there. And I don't think anyone's gonna like it.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
It's ugly, and they want to keep the lid on
until about seven thirty pm the night. Then the next
year is going to be wild. If the Department of
Justice charges criminally the leaders of our city with offenses
which they made public their stupidity. There can't be anybody
more stupid who commits a criminal act and brings in
the news meet it to broadcast the crime. I mean,
I watched it and said, are you kidding me? And

(44:30):
the fact is they weren't kidding. Lastly, I had on
the Irish rollie sitting right there yesterday and it took
me a while to get down to the basics. And
she said, I asked her three times. She said, no,
that shouldn't happen. Should city or state government charge a
person with a crime because of the color of their skin?
The answer is no. And we have city leaders broadcast

(44:53):
in the fact they want a white person charged, and
Countie Pillage, who's the county prosecutor, said no, we're not
going to to do that, and to me and thief
Gigi said we're not gonna do that, and they did it,
and now they've crossed the rubicon. And by the way,
I'm also cold. I'm also told Steve Gooden that later
on they're going to dismiss the criminal charges anyway, because

(45:16):
they're going to pay millions of dollars to Zervinski and
try to avoid their own arrest. And to me, I
can't think of a more blatant civil rights violation than
a hold a news conference to tell their own prosecutor
in this case, Emily's Smart Warner, you must charge someone
with a crime because of the color of their skin.

(45:37):
That should enrage everybody in our community. Once again, Steve Goodin,
thanks for coming on and good luck to you. What
do you say about ten hours from now, if the
same nine, the same eight get elected and Pureball wins.
It's kind of like when Nixon won in nineteen seventy two,
and then later on Watergate happened. We got a Watergate

(45:59):
scan brewing hair of incredible proportions, and it might be
better for them to lose, get out of office, have
your truth and reconciliation meetings together to understand what this
crew did to the city, and then they'll let them
deal with the Feds on the criminal violations down the road,
because af Ted Pureval has criminal responsibilities, as does the

(46:20):
city manager, and as does Emily Smart and Warner for
filing false criminal charges against the person because of the
color of their skin, and their witnesses are the chief
of police and Cincinnati police officers who told them no,
don't do it. And that's pretty good evidence. But anyway,
all right, Steve good and good luck to you down

(46:40):
the road, and we'll talk later.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Thank you, thank you, and God bless take care, God
bless America.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Let's continue with more. There can't be a more blatant
civil rights violation than they have. State officials and city
officials demand that their prosecutors file criminal charges that are
false against an is a man because of his race? Now,
am I making any sense to you? Let's continue Bill

(47:06):
Cunningham's Radio seven hundreds. W All right, let's continue the
experts like segment Dennis, and tell me the odds of
apt pure of all losing are quite small. I have
trust and faith in you that the same old, same
old is not going to work this time. Too much
is at risk. When Procter and God is moving to Mason,

(47:27):
when Kroger is telling its employees, look, if you're unhappy
about the violence in Cincinnati, just work from home. When
Fifth Third Bank is sending all over the country some
of their operations. In fact, the city is at risk
of losing some of their big employers. And when there's
blood running in the streets and the response from the

(47:48):
mayor is silence other than I'm okay, you're okay, it's great.
We got a major problem. The days ahead are going
to be rougher than the days in the past because
the investigation by this law firm and Teresa Thiji is
going to find something that somebody could explode into significance
to smear that fine woman, that mother and that grandmother,

(48:08):
who did exactly what she was told to do by
the city manager and by the mayor. She wasn't some
wild card acting on her own. She did what they
told her to do, even though she felt at times
it was a wrong thing to do. She did it anyway.
But one thing she wouldn't do was file false criminal
charges against an innocent man because of his race. She

(48:28):
would not do that. So they finally found someone that
would do it, who, by the way now is the
interim police Chief, Adam Henny. When his men and in
his defense, I would say this. According to Ken Kober,
the sergeant of the FOP, he considers Henny to be
a profile encourage. Even though he stuck his neck on
the line by filing an affidavit of false criminal charges

(48:50):
against the innocent man because of race, Adam Henny did
it to protect his men underneath him that those who
did the investigation that knew the charges were false would
not sign on the bottom line. So, in his view,
Adam Henney, the captain now the police chief, was a
profile encourage for taking the hit, rather than the men
and women in blue who said, this is a bunch

(49:12):
of bs. The city's in crisis. How will you respond?
Blood running in the streets, an irrelevant council following criminal
charges they should never do against the innocent, innocent man
because of the color of his skin. Is that the
kind of city you want to live in? Segment? He
says yes. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven Hunters WLW, Cincinnati.

Jets and the Indianapolis Colts. Tell us about it. Jets
corner and former UC standout Sauce Gardner is headed to

(51:23):
the Circle City, the home of the five hundred with
the seven and two Colts for two first round draft picks.
That's a good deal for the Colts. Do you agree?
He goes to the Jets, to the Colts, and he
also gets coached up by Well to get him back.
So you you were saying get rid of lou give it? Yes,
you did. Now you want him back, you wanted him out.

(51:46):
I don't know much about him, right, neither do I.

ESPN last night Up Pops the face of Joe Frederick
Convicts versus that show's been on fifty times at the

(53:20):
last team we watched it every time. It's unbelievable. It
was unbelievable. T shirts made lots of dough Ray and
the meeeah Convicts versus Catholics and Lou Holtz one at
all the last time, Notre Dame one at all. Yes,
and Joe was there to lead. So it's one hundred
and forty two days until opening Day. What about the

(53:41):
NFL Draft. We're talking about that yet? The NFL in April, Well,
we're gonna talk about it. That's the next big thing
for the Bengals, isn't it. No, The bet next bigs
thing is winning A week from Sunday. Could Flacco have
done any better the last three games than Joe Burrow? No,
and he's home in New Jersey. I don't blame him.

(54:02):
And let's see. Also, Evan McPherson spoke today to the
media and said that his family and Logan Wilson's family
were headed in the next day or so to Disney
World see Goofy but Wilson, why they go hold up
on that car? Wise, gentlemen, Logan Wilson, you're going to

(54:24):
the Southwest? And did you not the Mickey mouseland the
happiest place on earth besides here. I guess the Colts
play this weekend. So he was going to be off.
Now he's not going to be off of house. I
don't know. Let's see Kentucky High School Kentucky girls first
round in the volleyball State Attorney. Notre Dame Mount, Notre Dame, No,
Notre Dame wins over West Jessemin. They'll play in the

(54:45):
quarterfinals Friday against Bowling Green. Good luck tonight, Ohio Girls
State Soccer semi finals. Who is it? Seaton Anderson, that's
chrismth Baden Summit Country Day and the Amazon of Madera
back at it again are in. And you know Deer
Park Community Schools was ranked as one of the top

(55:06):
ten in Hamilton County right a little bit below Indian Hill, Wyoming,
Madeira and Marymont. And secondly segment, Yeah, Logan Wilson, who
thought he was off Sun, they may not be off.
I assume Dallas is playing. I don't know. I don't
know where Dallas played. Well, they just played last night.
While they played, but last night the lost horrible. He

(55:27):
goes to the thirty second ranked defense of the thirty first,
so he's making he's upgrade progress. He's going up slightly,
just a little bit. And you know Evan McPherson kicked
the wrong ball. Did you see this story? No, he
missed that it was a fifty yard field goal or something.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Sure, oh yeah, so he gets off. He can still
go the world. They were goofy. I guess there's special
balls that the kickers use and aren't the regular ball. Okay,
And because it was a continuous play, no tom out
was called. Yeah, McPherson kicked the ball that is used
to play the game and not the K ball. Did

(56:05):
you know that kickers have special balls. I think you
have special balls too. But nonetheless they used the K ball.
They didn't use the K ball. They used the game ball.
And McPherson knew when he hit it hit it good.
He said, if I was hitting my K ball, it
would have gone fifty eight yards or sixty. I hit
the G ball, the game ball, and it died. So

(56:27):
I'm thinking that's the Bengals right there. And in order
to get the specialized ball, I say a week another
thing in the game on Sunday, because it was continuous.
If they if three guys could have tackled number eighty four,
they would have had to use the G ball and

(56:48):
not the K ball. The G ball is the game ball,
so that means they would have tackled him. They would
You have seventeen seconds either spiked the ball or let's
go get some If they spiked the ball, they can
used the CA ball. If you don't spike the ball,
got to use the G ball. So if they rushed
the field goal unit on the field, which of course
they didn't have to do, and they would have used

(57:10):
and the Bears used the G ball, he would have
had to kick in an extra five yards. And McPherson said,
he's got an excuse. I didn't play the CA ball
with that Crystal guy who the Chicago had already missed one.
Looked like I kicked it and he used it. It
was blocked. I think it was blocked. I hit, he hit.
I thought he missed one. It looked like it went
into section two thirteen. That's when what's his name, Ivy

(57:31):
was off sides? How are you off sides on that?
I have no idea only but I bet you Darren
Simmons down there is probably pulling his hair out. Just
look to your right, see where the ball is. There's
the ball. I'm gonna knock back a little line up
on the other side of the ball. I want to
be on this side of the ball. And of course
they missed it. They scored a touchdown. Bingo, So sig,

(57:53):
how do you explain this? Things happened to the Bengals
that don't happen to normal team. The only thing't works
about having the Bengals here is not having the Bengals here.
I know you complain a lot about the Bengals and
Cleveland Brown. Well, are the Bengals Cleveland South or the
Browns the Bengals North? The two teams, what are you
doing at a combine them and playing Columbus on Sunday?

(58:14):
You know that's a hell of anon. Why don't you
That's a hell of an idea right there. You know,
call them the Columbus Brown Bengals. I mean that's just
an idea. Wow, you come up with a good idea
every now. Play one here, play one up there, Play
one here, play one up there. If you took the
Browns defense and the Bengals offense, what if you had

(58:35):
edge rushers of Miles Garrett and Trey Hendrickson, they'd have
four They have four hundred sacks a month's which is
the worst franchise. The Browns are the Bengals Browns, I say,
easily the Browns. At least the Bengals have tasted. I mean,
when number nine comes, nobody can surpass number nine. I

(58:55):
don't care if the Browns bring back had seven million
quarterbacks over there Graham, he won ten straight championship. Yeah,
we'll bring him back. He's dead. So I'm just saying,
if you took the two teams together and played in
Columbus the Columbus Brown Bengals, and maybe get a few
players in the mix, maybe have the one side of

(59:16):
the helmet orange and the other one with the stripes. Secondly,
according to the AP, which is never wrong, Joe Kap,
go ahead. Tom Brady has successfully cloned a dead dog
of his I'm reading the story. What he found someone
in the Silicon Valley that wanted to clone his dog.

(59:38):
He took DNA from a dead dog like Schnor for Emma, Yeah,
and cloned it like Zoomie, and a new a new
dog has been born. What about Mimi and Tutu? You
can clone him right now. Tom Brady cost him eighty
thousand dollars. He bly makes that every week to clone
his dog. Have you thought about cloning a dog? Would

(59:59):
you do that for that kind of money? Willie, I'd
bring back all of What about you and the Schnorf
and a peanut?

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Heead?

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Well, my favorite dog of all was Schnarf and then
it was Maxine. Well, I'm just saying, what about them?
I love it cloning dog. Let me see if I
get that, I'm going to google everything today segment Tom
Brady cloning a dog. Here it is. Tom Brady reveals
that name is Juny is a clone of a former pet,

(01:00:28):
Lua that died in twenty twenty three. He saved DNA
from uh Lua. I mean, here's the story, my NFL quarterback,
Tom Brady said on Tuesday, that's today. That is dog
Juny is a clone of his late pet Lua, who
passed away two years ago. The pit bull mix was

(01:00:49):
shared by Brady, your next wife, Giselle Bunskin, and their children.
By the way, she's impregnant. It by a boyfriend. That's
a different story. I don't mean Tom Brady, I mean
just Helle. The new dog was cloned using a blood
sample collected before Lewis death. It was done at the
Colossal Biosciences, a California based a biotech company that can

(01:01:10):
clone the beginning with animals. Next up will be human
beings will be cloned. You could be here longer than
you think. See you and I could be cloned. For
a stooge report in the year threey ten. How about
this one? He said this, this is great. A few
years ago, I worked with Colossal and leverage their non
invasive cloning technology through a simple blood drawl of our

(01:01:33):
family's dog that would pass away in the next two weeks.
The company found it in twenty twenty one announced that
it's a quite another biotech company by Agra Pets an
Equan and has cloned pets of numerous celebrities below the
radar at seventy thousand dollars. Would you want to clone

(01:01:53):
Zuomi or Emma for seventy thousand, Well, Willie, both of
them have been cremated, so I think, Mike, you know lessa.
You can add water and bring him back. Humans are next,
Willie and honor of a special day with one of
our own. Happy twenty fifth wedding anniversary today to Paully
and Tom Brenneman. Really correct. I like Tom Brenneman. He

(01:02:17):
told me that this morning, and you don't, you'll get
a You'll get a mentioned on the stooge. So congratulations
Paully and Tom Brenneman. Twenty fifth wedding anniversary. Now you
have at least twenty five or fifty more. Amen. We
leave you with the immortal words of the stood report.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
And welcome to Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Is that Travis Kelcey or Tite that was a ted
pirival the man who may be indicted by the federal
authorities for demanding the indictment of criminal charges against the
innocent man because of his skin color. Not the first
time his city council is going to the joint. It's
back to the future a news radio seven hundred w
old by Billy Cunningham, the Great America and of course

(01:03:14):
Sherry Poland at the Hemley County Board of Elections runs,
by any fair estimate, the best local board of elections
anywhere in the four thousand counties in America. They come
here or learn at the feet of Sherry Poland when
it comes to conducting full and fair elections. And Sherry Poland,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. So it's now
a little bit after two o'clock. Give me the parameters
of the turnout. Give me when the polls close. Talk

(01:03:36):
about any difficulties, what are the problems? Give me a
full report.

Speaker 7 (01:03:40):
Absolutely well, right now, we're right at about a nineteen
percent turnout for this election. That includes those that are
voting today and those that voted early. In person are
by now, so we're sitting at about nineteen percent. At
the Board of Elections, we were predicting an overall twenty
five percent turnout. So it's looked like we're how are
you going to hit our mark?

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
Isn't it say they have a twenty five percent turnout?
So you're saying sherry pulland that seventy five percent of
registered voters are not likely to vote.

Speaker 7 (01:04:11):
That's correct. Unfortunately, that is a typical for this type
of an election, and an odd numbered year election where
we're electing.

Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
Our local officials.

Speaker 7 (01:04:21):
For some reason, we have this lower turnout than compared
to what we see in a presidential or a midterm.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
In twenty twenty four, what was the percentage turnout when
Trump and Harris Ram plus the other issues, what was
the turnout then?

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
Yes, about two percent?

Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
Yeah, about seventy two.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
So it goes from seventy two percent down to maybe
twenty five percent. You're like an American, why is that?
Because normally local issues are more important to me than
national issues. I want to have the right people in
charge of the schools, of city, council, of township trustees.
I want local you know, all politics is local. Can
you tell us why that's not the case, because twenty

(01:05:01):
five percent, that's like almost fifty percent. Let's let's kind
of say it isn't it?

Speaker 7 (01:05:06):
Yeah, I wish I knew the reason behind it. We
do see that many times, issues like statewide controversial issues
bring voter turnout up. But this is typical for an
audior and you know it's it's as you mentioned, it's
so important. These are our local elected officials. They have
a great impact on our everyday lives. But it's also

(01:05:28):
the smaller the districts of the contest are very small,
so you know, your voice means even more with that
smaller turnout and the smaller districts, you know, one or
two votes could could you know, determine the outcome of
an election. So there's still plenty of time to get
out and vote, make your voice heard.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Erry Poland when I had on frankle Rosa about two
hours ago, he said, they have a they will always
have a handful of races that are literally tied and
it's determined by a coin flip. Have you ever flipped
a coin to determine the outcome of an election? Who
does that?

Speaker 7 (01:06:02):
Yes, we have had that happen in Hamilton County. Our
board members will do that. You know, we're governed by
a four person board, tour members of the local Democratic
Party and tour members of the local Republican Party.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
Where we have.

Speaker 7 (01:06:15):
Seen ties before in halto a large county. We see
it in very very small races. It's something called precinct
executive races. Those are political party races where they elect
a representative for their party in that precinct. So you're
talking very small district, just one one precinct. That is
when we've seen ties and our board flips the coin

(01:06:38):
in public session, in a public meeting, and then there's
a declared winner.

Speaker 4 (01:06:42):
After we flip the coin.

Speaker 7 (01:06:44):
And then we do a recount. We do a recount
to make sure it actually truly was a tie.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
What kind of coin do you flip? Is like a quarter,
a diamond, nickel?

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
What is it?

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
We used to use, you know, maybe whatever was in
the chairman's pocket, if it was a quarter or whatever.
In recent years, I have a coin that I was
given by the United States Elections Assistant Commission for a
session that I participated in, and so we kind of
made that official recount coin given to us by that

(01:07:13):
important commission, So we use that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Now, Sherry Poland when I had a friend who would
flip a coin, he caught it in one of his hands,
and he could flip the coin one way or another
based upon what he wanted it to be. So when
whoever flips the coin, say it's Alex t or the
chair of the Democrat, they flip the coin, does the
guy catch it in his hand or does he let
it fall to the floor.

Speaker 7 (01:07:35):
They let it fall to the floor.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
And there's any magnets involved? Could you have a magnet
below that it goes tails and it flips overheads. Are
you aware there could be that guy. I've watched some
of this magic act where women's legs are cut off.
So when you flip the coin, you make sure there's
no magnets involved, no slot of hand, none of that
stuff that's.

Speaker 7 (01:07:52):
Correct, none of that stuff. It's done in a public session,
so anyone can come to the board and watch the
coin flip, examine the coin before and after.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Do you have any questions for me about sports, politics,
world capitals, the fluvial processes, si geam morphology, something that's
confused you over the years. You have all the answers.
How about asking me a question.

Speaker 7 (01:08:14):
To be for this selection? Say that again, what do
you think the turnout is going to be for the selection?

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
You think it's going to stick to the t.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
No, I'm willing to bet you a hot fud Sunday.
It's close to thirty percent and twenty five percent. You
want to bet a greater's hot fudg Sunday.

Speaker 7 (01:08:30):
I'm not a betting person.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
You're saying twenty you will. You'll be held to account
for this twenty five percent turnout. And the polls are
open until win got about five and a half hours
ago with Sherry Polland you run the best board of elections.
Of course, the Democrats and Republicans all keeping out on everybody,
but nonetheless you need functional administrators and managers, and that's you.
And they all respect you for what you've done for

(01:08:53):
that board. And Sherry Polland thanks for coming on the
Bill Cunningham Show, and Sheery you're a great American. Thank you,
God God bless America. Let's continue with more and coming
up later. We scheduled Linda Matthews see if she can
make it, and more plus more trades. We have until
four o'clock today, there's rumors that Duke Tobin may be
released as the general manager, director or player of personnel

(01:09:15):
by the Bengals. We'll see what happens with that. Plus
possibly Hendrickson will be traded, but we'll see. By four o'clock.
Bill Cunningham seven hundred Wow. Bill Cunningham, the Great America.
Of course, this election is the most consequential in the
city maybe in the past twenty seven to twenty nine years,
because the direction of council is the wrong direction to
take for the city. We're gonna end up like Chicago

(01:09:36):
or Portland, Oregon, for God's sakes, unless there's change in reform.
One of the candidates that I would vote for if
I could, one of the four or five, is Linda Matthews.
She's on Avonel Community Council and she has put herself
out there saying we can't live like this. Linda Matthews,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. In this election
day afternoon, about five hours remain, and what is your

(01:09:57):
pitch to the voters who say we have to have reform,
we have to improve, what is your pitch?

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
My pitch is that we need safe communities right now
we're in the terrible condition. Even over the weekend, we've
had a lot of shootings and killings. So this mayor
and council has to go. And I'm your city council
woman that has just common sense and we need change
in leadership here in Cincinnati. We cannot end up like Chicago.

(01:10:27):
So people get out and vote and vote for Linda
Matthews because we need change.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
You know, I just had on Sherry Poland and she
predicted thus far there's been a nineteen percent turnout. That
means eighty one percent of not voted, and she predicts
no more than twenty five percent. That means seventy five
percent of city registered voters are not going to vote.
If and on top of that those adult's not even registered,

(01:10:53):
about ten percent of the voters of Cincinnati will determine
the election. And that said that we have so far
people voting today.

Speaker 4 (01:11:02):
That's really really sad and disappointing. Because of the conditions
that we're living in at this point in time, everyone
should be concerned and out voting for new leadership. So
it's really sad to hear those numbers.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
And when you're out there working the polls this afternoon,
what are you hearing from voters? Their major concerns are.

Speaker 4 (01:11:23):
The major concerns is safety. Everybody's concerned about safety. They're
tired of all the killing, the murder and mayhem. They're
tired of the leadership not hearing about in the community,
talking about development, pohos. All kinds of concerns, but mainly
the main one is safety.

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
And might ask why is an African American female are
you running as a Republican and not a Democrat? What
is there about the Republican Party, which is the traditional
home of African Americans, have been the Republican Party from
eighteen sixty five and Hill about nineteen thirty two. What
about a sixty year period? But why are you running
as a Republican?

Speaker 4 (01:12:07):
Because the Republican Party line up with my values. We
believe in family, we believe in mariage between a man
and a woman, we believe in safe cities. And those
are my values, those are my Christian values. And so
I decided that I was going to be a Republican.
And I've been a Republican for many, many years, and

(01:12:30):
I'm not going to change. No.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
In fact, I think it's happening. They're stirring in the
black community that says we don't have to live like this,
and that we're constantly voting for the same characters in
the same party without consequences or without improvement, and to
have the mayor run on a platform of well, I'm
going to use computers to find out where the snow
trucks are. I don't know if that's a big enough
issue to run on. But the most important issue is

(01:12:54):
the blood running in the streets, open air drug use, homelessness,
in the fact that Corporate America is getting the hell
out of Cincinnati, and that should scare everyone. I can't
imagine a city of Cincinnati without Kroger, without Fifth Third Bank,
without Procter and Gamble. That's a problem, right because that's
the tax base. That's the tax base now.

Speaker 6 (01:13:13):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:13):
Also, when it comes to Chief Thiji, she was I
used the term discharge or fire, just called administrative leave
with payment. That the mayor says it will take months
and months and months to determine why I did something,
and he wants to hire a law firm to determine
why he did something. Frost Brown, which is a fine

(01:13:35):
law firm. I love lawyers, and he's going to pay
forty thousand or more of the city money to have
them research and discover and disclose why I did something.
Have you heard anything more absurd than that?

Speaker 4 (01:13:50):
I have not. I mean, this is another example of
poor leadership, poor planning, poor follow through, and waste in
taxpayers money. And I think people should be good and
tired of it. It's just ridiculous. They did it with
the fire chief. Look how much they had to pay him.
Now you're spending forty million dollars on a legal representation

(01:14:14):
when you should have went through the processes correctly from
the beginning. So it's just another example of poor leadership
by our mayor as well as that fitty manager. They
they all need to go and hopefully today that is
the voters will decide that enough, that's enough.

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
Linda Matthews, do you get pushback from African Americans for
running on conservative values as a Republican? Do you get
pushed back in your neighborhood there and Evandale?

Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
I get some pushback, but most people here know that
I am and I'm from Avondale. I'm not going anywhere,
been here all my life, and they believe in some
of the things that I say, and believe it or not,
Avondale is mostly Democrats. What they wanted Linda Matthews as
their vice president. So they believe in my values, they

(01:15:05):
believe in what I've send for and they respect that.
And so hopefully everybody will show up and vote for
me today.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
Oh, they only have about five hours left. The polls
close at seven point thirty. And I think it's said,
with all the difficulties of the city of Cincinnati, the
great majority of the voters that are registered, much less
others not even registered to vote, are not going to vote.
So that means if it's a twenty five percent turnout,
that means thirteen percent of registered voters will determine the

(01:15:33):
direction of the city. And thirteen percent And that's why
each vote's terribly important, correct.

Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
Very very important, and people please get out and vote.
Don't take this election lightly because we cannot have another
four years of what we just came out of with
Biden inherits and then we're moving into with this mayor
we have and this city manager. It's just been terrible

(01:16:03):
here in Cincinnati. You know, safety Eagles Capital. When you
don't have safe communities, people don't want to bring their
businesses into downtown Cincinnati or any other community because of
the safety issue. And you know, capital means they're going
to invest and they're going to create jobs. And if

(01:16:23):
we can't have jobs, then we're gonna end up looking
like other cities. And we can't. We've there's been too
much investments downtown Cincinnati for this to continue. And the
only way we're going to break this craziness is to
have new leadership. That's the only way we're going to
get up out of there. And I asked everybody to

(01:16:43):
please get up and go vote today.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
Well, it just concerns me so few people are voting.
Of course that could be a positive, could be a
positive in a sense. Lynda Matthews, we have to run,
but thanks for your call, and let's see what happens
down the road. But you got about five more hours
to vote. Let's get it. Linda Matthews, thanks for coming
on the Bill Cunningham Show. Lennon, thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
Thanks you, Bill.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
I thought let's continue with more. You know, sometimes in
a way of election that large numbers of people come out.
Other times in the wave of elections, few people vote
because they're unhappy, and many times it occurs to me
that you don't vote because you're happy with the way
things are. We don't have good polling in the city

(01:17:27):
of Cincinnati because it is too small. But I would imagine,
I would believe that if the polling was done, it's
the city of Cincinnati going in the right direction. I
bet eighty percent of Cincinnatians would say, no, we're going
in the wrong direction. Whether it's Hyde Park or Oakley,
or Avondale or Price Hill or the Central Business District

(01:17:48):
or Downtown, we're going in the wrong direction. And So
even though I don't have a dog in this hunt,
because I'm not I don't live in the City of
Cincinnati anymore. But if I did, Linda Matte and Steve
Gooden and Chris Smitherman and leakeda Cole and Don Dreehouse
of the five or six, I would vote for And

(01:18:08):
it makes sense to me not to vote for nine.
Vote for the five or six that you consider best
representing your values. And the values of Lynda Matthews, vice
president of the Avenuel Community Council are the values of
most African Americans. They've been conditioned to accept the D
as opposed to the R because their leaders tell them

(01:18:28):
what to do. Your leaders have misled you. This is
not the course, the right course that we should be on.
So let's continue with more. Coming up later will be
the news and more trades, hopefully with the Bengals. There
is a reporter course about Duke Tobin, who's been there
for twenty five years from Florio about impossibly being released
today or tomorrow. But I'll like to see more action

(01:18:50):
on the defensive line, impossibly on the ends, because right
now we're in a crisis. So let's continue with more.
Bill Cunningham News Next. You're home of the Reds and
the Bengals, the Bearcats and the Muskies, News Radio seven
hundred out of you.

Speaker 8 (01:19:02):
We get criticized for that because we run with a
lighter crew than some other teams do, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:19:11):
Know that we do badly there.

Speaker 8 (01:19:13):
We picked up Reggie Nelson this year. That's a pretty
good acquisition. Really. The year before we picked up the
fullback from Rutgers, the young kid Leonard, and he helped
us a lot. We have people up there who are
attuned to this stuff. Duke Tobin is on top of
it very very thoroughly. Today, with the communications you have,

(01:19:39):
you can talk to people anytime anywhere in this country,
and we do. You don't have to have a guy
sitting in an office doing just that. You can carry
this information with you as you travel and then communicate
when it's necessary, and that's what we do. I don't
think it works badly. I think it works all right.

Speaker 1 (01:20:02):
Hello, quiet and skulls. I'm broadcasting. I'll say to use
a political term when Mike Brown want to revise and
extend his remarks on working well, especially on the defense segment.
Your reaction because there's telephone service today segment that we
can call people anywhere in the world and they pick up.

(01:20:25):
You know what I'm saying. So maybe we don't need
any scouting at all. What about your buddy too, before
we get into I think I think you need scouting scouting? Well,
was there a game about ninety miles up the up
the road here with Ohio State and Penn State. Twenty
one teams had scouts there before and after the game,
talking to people, gathering information, talking to coaches on Saturday

(01:20:47):
and Sunday and Monday getting ready? Are what about this player?
And nobody from the Bengals was present. Now would it
be helpful to talk to the coaches and managers of
the team and said, how does that left tackle? What
kind of person is he? When does he come to work?
When is he leave? What kind of kid? Is each?
Kind of a student? Is he a leader on the team?
Is he vociferous? Is he quiet? It wouldn't it be

(01:21:07):
interesting if you had that information upon which you could
cast an inform ballot or a draft choice. You know
what I'm saying, Willie the Stuard reporters of proud service
of your local Tamestar Heating and air conditioning dealers, Tamestar
quality you could feel in beautiful Western hills called Durban
Heating and Cooling at five one three, five nine eighty
four forty nine, or go to Derbinheating and Cooling dot com.

(01:21:31):
Say can I say something personal? Go right ahead, Jim Stott,
Mike McConnell, Yeah, Gary Burbank, Trumpy Collinsworth, Furman, Me and
the truck and Bozo. In my view, you belong in
that group. Well, thank you. Okay, that's a heavyweight lineup
it we had. Well, you're kind of a clown and

(01:21:53):
kind of a full half the time. Yeah, but your
presence over the mere forty three years I've been here
have been important and I appreciate it. Thank you all.
I'm Todd of ripping on you all the time. Bengals.
Bengals Update brought you by Good Spirits and Party Town
with thirteen locations in northern Kentucky. Bengals today trading linebacker
Logan Wilson to the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh round pick.

(01:22:16):
Can I tell you about Logan Wilson? Yeah, go ahead.
He was a deer Park where you go. A couple
of years ago, a friend of her friend said, you know,
Logan Wilson would be more than willing to come to
Deer Park High School, which has a Levey up that
must pass by the way, and speak to the deer
Park faithful about the Bengals and about the interception he's
had in this game or that game, the phantom pass

(01:22:38):
interference called the Super Bowl. And I sat with him
his wife for a couple hours, a lovely young woman,
a normal guy, not very big on MDAD, not a
big person, out of Wyoming, the home of the Cowboys.
Now he's a cowboy. Well, he went from Wyoming Cowboys
to the Bengals. Now is a cowboy. I liked Logan Wilson.

(01:22:58):
Please continue, also, Willie, let's see the blockbuster of the
day is Jets corner and former UC standout Sauce Gardner
the fine corner with the New York Football Jets. He's
headed to the seven and two Indianapolis Colts for two
first round draft picks from the bottom to the top.
That's correct. Now, the Jets also have dealt three time

(01:23:20):
Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinn Williams to the Cowboys for picks. Now,
get this, the New York Jets next year in the
twenty twenty six draft, we'll have two first round picks.
Is that three? And two second round picks? Is that three?
Because how many picks do? They got their own pick? Right?

Speaker 6 (01:23:40):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
Then? We got two? More right? Two?

Speaker 6 (01:23:42):
Three?

Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
I think that's three and twenty twenty seven, they'll have
three first round picks picks plus one and they beat
the Bengals. Correct your comments on that one. College football tonight,
let's see it's the Battle of the Bricks and Beautiful
Athens as the Miami RedHawks, leaders of the MAC, take

(01:24:02):
on Ohio U. Game time is seven pm. The RedHawks
are riding a five game win streak. College basketball Nichols
and ninth grade at Kentucky Tonight at Reparina seven o'clock
ESPN fifteen thirty. Nichols. Also Evansville meets number one per Due.
Where was Terry Nelson last night on the UC broadcast
that I monitor? He had a medical procedure the day

(01:24:25):
before and could not do the game. I am told
it was a minor procedure. He'll be back very soon.
I like Terry Nelson. He'll be back Friday night. Good
Red's update. Red President of Baseball Operations Nick Crawl today
announced the signing of a free agent who isn't from Middletown,
a leftenant innter right handed pitcher, Keegan Thompson. It's a

(01:24:47):
one year major league contract through twenty twenty six. Is
the trade season open right now. He's a former Chicago
Cub starter and they can sign him because he was
in the minor league. So he's not his you know
what's his name, Keegan Thompson. He's a pitcher. Yeah. I
need a slugger in the middle of the lineup. I

(01:25:07):
don't like a Russ Megelson the Dare Party. I need
a slugger. They can't sign Everybolson let's see what else, well,
I mean, everybody, how about signing somebody? Terry Francota is
a finalist for the National League Manager of the Year Award.
He deserves it. Kyle Schwarber is a finalist for the
MVP Award along with shoey Otani and Juan Soto. Who

(01:25:30):
thinks should get it? I think? Well, yeah, I mean,
what do you think? Who do you think is are
gonna get it? Show you see this is this is
all you know, this is all pre World Series that
was the greatest, the most exciting World Series I've seen
since nineteen seventy six. I don't know. It could be.
I don't know. That'll be interesting to see because my

(01:25:53):
vote would go to Kyle Schwarber, but I'm I'm biased
because he's from Middletown. Correct, what if the red sign
al Swarber with the money save with Martinez, et cetera.
If they signed Kyle Schwarber, I will drive him to
the ballpark every night and drive him home. He lives
right by you, right, Bingo. Payroll will be the same,

(01:26:15):
which is good. They have a lot of free money,
right right? What's payroll? Martinez? Nick Martin twenty one million?
But Martinez is gone because he's he's now a free agent.
They're not going to bring him back. What's the payroll
this year? Segment? Was it like one and something like that?
There wasn't one point three billion for four pitchers? No,

(01:26:36):
No one nineteen so one and you add up all
the players they're gonna let go because they either stink
I don't want to sign him, right? Why not? Should
you trade Hunter Green only their hairdresser nose? For sure?
We don't need starting pitching by the way, No, we

(01:26:56):
don't need much relief pitching a little bit. But by wait, batters,
how about this? The Transportation Secretary warns that airspace and
parts of the United States may need to close if
the government shutdown continues in the next week. Why did
the Democrats shut down the government then complain about Trump?
I don't know. You know, Dick Cheney died. Now you

(01:27:17):
won't be able to fly any place. Dick Cheney dies.
They use that as a cudgel against Donald Trump. And
what about what Dick Cheney did fault? Oh, he opposed
Donald Trump. So the whole CNN story was not about
Dick Cheney, who I think did allows the job as
Vice President instructing Bush forty three on the Iraqi War awful, terrible,

(01:27:37):
wrong and lost. But nonetheless, deal with Dick Cheney, what
he did with the Ford administration, what he did with Reagan,
what he did with Bush forty one, Bush forty two. Yes,
they use that as a hammer to beat up on
Donald Trump when Dick Cheney dies. That is ridiculous. Please continue.
You got me angry right now? Yeah? Nothing else? What
do you mean you got nothing else? What about saus Gardner?

(01:27:58):
You forgot about him? I mentioned him? You did? What
about Kyle Schwarber? Thanks for listening him too? Yes, well
we got about what another hour and fourteen? He did?
He did that going to the Jets? Jets? What cow boys?
What about Myers? You got everybody? He's going someplace. He's going,
so I don't know worries he's going Jacksonville to some place.

(01:28:19):
All I care about the the Bengals, if they can
get maybe a good rushing tight end. It's four o'clock.
They got about another hour to go. He may not
play again, right Hendrickson, Who knows? I don't know. Who knows?
I don't know. I want the Bengals three and six.
But how about that. Well, I guess if the Dallas

(01:28:40):
Cowboys are on their break. I think this week with
the Cowboys, Evan McPherson said today for the Channel five
that both of their families are going to Disney World.
Don't keep going. I would think that Logan Wilson would
probably be in the big mon might want a good
say hey guy the Walt d how you looking. I mean,
he might be in the second happiest place on earth.

(01:29:02):
He went from the thirty first, He went from thirty
two to thirty one, and the worst defenses in the league.
At least the Bengals were setting records. Look at it
that way, that's true. Tom Brady closing dog, late dog
that welcomes Juni into the family, sick from two years?
Would you clone your pet? Would you clone your dog?

(01:29:22):
Bring him back for more? One? At what eighty thousand
dollars a dog? Yeah, I get a loan. He makes
Fifth Third Bank, the only bank you'll ever need. Yeah,
I love it. Give me a loon. But Zuomi and
Zuomi and emm Are have been they were cremated. How

(01:29:43):
about this? Since his retirement, Tom Brady, the Patriots legend,
has dabbled in everything as an entrepreneur struggling a bit
as a Las Vegas Raiders owner. He also owns part
of the Birmingham City FC team while collecting a nice
steady paycheck. I think he signed with sports for like
three hundred million dollars. He also it's a product. I'm sorry.

(01:30:04):
Three hundred and seventy five million over ten years makes
thirty seven and a half million dollars. And uh, who's that?
Joe Burrow did his own makeup and he was the
joker for Halloween? Did he do trick or treating in
Anderson Township? Went to Joe Burrow? There's a mess. I
can't even identify him. That's him. Yeah, did you go

(01:30:26):
trick or treating? Seg No, you want to hand it
out candy? Then you go as the Xavier Blue Blob
one year, No, I didn't, No, not that one. No,
that one. It was another year. He's forty eight years old.
He's an avid lover of animals and he wants to
clone his dogs in perpetuity. Oh hell, I don't know.
I guess whatever whatever happens any more trade segment with

(01:30:49):
Trey Hendrickson that I know of, will you right right
up to the minute here and nothing nothing going on
yet and the National Football you mentioned an hour ago.
Yeah that uh. Reports out of Fox Sports that Evan
McPherson claims he used the G ball instead of the
K ball to kick the field goal. All the balls

(01:31:12):
are special, as you know, if you're a kicker, you
want the K ball, which is uh shall we say,
inflated Tom Brady style inflated up. Well, the G ball
the game ball, so quarterbacks and Griffin a little better,
is is inflated down? Unbelievable and so Evan McPherson said
that if those three Bengal defenders surrounding the number eighty

(01:31:35):
four of the Bears had actually tackled him on the
thirty yard line and the Bengals would not call a
time out, I hope they wouldn't. To get the field
goal team on, they had to use the G ball,
which is the game ball, and not the K ball.
Because the reason Evan McPherson used the K ball, no
timeout was called and which chased the ball was still
there and the officials don't switch out the balls to

(01:31:57):
be kicked if it's a field goal the clock is running,
so little things like that determine the outcome of games.
You know what I'm saying. You repeat that one more time.
I'm not sure I can okay, because haven't McPherson is
a good wash? Are between the K ball and the
G ball and the whatever ball? By the way, I
also have a picture here. I may put this on
my account. This is Joe Burrow, sent to me by

(01:32:21):
a police officer friend of mine, wearing a dress during
a New York fashion show. He was on the runway
dressing as a woman. He was. He was at the
Dell High skirt game. That's why. What is that Joe
Burrow in a dress? I don't know. You should know

(01:32:42):
what I don't know. I don't even I haven't even
met him yet. Oh oh, there's another trade we got action. Well,
I don't know, but actually he looks pretty good. He
looks good as a joker too, doesn't he? Yeah? Does
Rocky Boyman know about I'm going to send this to
Rocky with your permission. Anymore? What do you got there? Nothing?

(01:33:05):
Got nothing?

Speaker 6 (01:33:05):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:33:06):
Segment, give me out of the stairs report, please, will
you and utter of a nice day here in the
tri State and go vote. No, Wait a minute, if
you're a dumb ass, don't vote. Do you want people
to vote that don't know what they're doing? We leave
you with the immortal words of the stud report. Well,
we'll see what happens, won't we? And I don't mean
to to mean people that don't vote. Number one, you

(01:33:28):
may not vote because you're satisfied with the way things are.
Or number two, you may be so unconcerned with the
elective office of those who hold them. That's not your
main year of life. I don't want somebody to go
vote who has no clue what they're doing. It cast
the ballot and validates the ballot of someone who cares
about a candidate or an issue. So if you're a

(01:33:48):
dumb ass, don't vote. In fact, I'm a dumb ass myself.
There are many things in life I know nothing about.
So what I operate on someone's eye because I want to? No,
no are you got to get got to go online
votohio dot org. Find out what the issues are in
your little district or your township or city. Find out
who the candidates are. If you're voting four, Levey like

(01:34:09):
you should vote for the Deer Park Community Schools. But
as we're doing great work in deer Park. One of
the top ten districts in this Hambleton County is deer Park.
The teacher student ratio is great, They're passing all the tests.
They have good sports teams. We're gonna start playing Middletown
to get more confidence. I'm telling you right now, segment,
this is a special time to be involved in the process.
But don't ever see I'm a babbling fool drooling down

(01:34:32):
my lips. I am a dumb ass. I agree, we're
all dumb, just about different things, right, segment. You're stupid
about a bunch of stuff, aren't you sure? Am you
admit to that? Yeah, let's start you. I'm stupid, Okay,
no question. I mean I think I'm bright, which is
different than being stupid. If you're bright, you have a
supple intellect able to understand things, but if you're stupid,

(01:34:54):
you don't have conversant understanding of an issue. There are
many issues. I have no conversant understanding of it all.
But I'm smart. I do well on the IQ test,
like a one forty one fifty. I'm really smart. But
there's certain things I know nothing about. And now one
thing I do know something about I think is politics
from an American perspective, not Democrat, not Republican, but American. Yeah,

(01:35:14):
get informed and go vote and change the direction of
your community. If you're unhappy, don't be a clown anymore
on your cell phone anymore. Trey Hendrickson by four o'clock
