Speaker 1 (00:05):
By Billy Cunningham in the Great America. Welcome this Monday
afternoon in the tri States. So many issues going on
in so little time. Of course, this Sunday, the Bengalis
tee it up again against the Ravens, probably a game
that means nothing, but who knows. I've seen some analysis
this morning. If I keep saying this, if the Bengals
went out, that means Pittsburgh got to lose three of
the next four games, which is possible. And that's also

(00:28):
if Baltimore has two or three ties of the next
four games, that comes into play. One of the analysis was, well,
what if the Pittsburgh Steelers tie a game or two?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
We're breaking it down a man that can break it
down and tell me why James Madison, a good friend
of George Washington and John Adams, gets into the college
playoffs instead of Notre Dame. That's another issue the Rock's
going to deal with once again. Moeger, Welcome to the
Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, can you break
down where we are right now in Bengaledom give me
a full report.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Well, I'm not sure we have enough time to break
down everything going on in Bengal dem but I'll put
a to you this way with you know, whatever was
eight minutes and forty nine seconds remaining in the fourth
quarter yesterday the Bengals had a ten point lead, and
I'm thinking if if they could somehow close out this game,

(01:24):
then it's going to sort of feel like game on
as it relates to their playoff chances. Right, Not that
making the postseason was going to be easy or even likely,
but you would have gone on the road beating the
Buffalo Bills. You have a chance to play the Baltimore
Ravens this week. Either Pittsburgh or Baltimore is going to
lose because they played yesterday eight and changed to go
you're up by ten, boy, even this Bengals team isn't

(01:48):
going to blow that one. Well, as it turns out,
they did because of a cacophony of mistakes. Bills go
down and score in four plays. Joe Burrow throws to
pick six, another pick on a tip pass. Oh, they
can't get off the field on Josh Allen running the
ball on third and fifteen. Oh, it just it was

(02:08):
a microcosm of the season to a degree. A defense
that has failed to rise to the occasion every single
time falters again, yep. And the one thing you kind
of felt like you could hang your hat on, which
is Joe Burrow having the ball in his hands with
a lead, unfortunately goes awry and this team falls to
four and nine.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Have you thought about writing a book on this season?
Because every game is like a chapter of Shakespeare in proportions,
the highest of law hies, the lowest of lows, all
happening against the Bengals. Against the Bengals, it never happens
toward them. They go to Baltimore, which you thought was
a tough place to play. They beat Lamar Jackson in

(02:46):
Baltimore Thanksgiving Night, Then with eight and change left, they
got a ten point lead in Buffalo and you're thinking, Okay,
they're gonna come home. Then beat Baltimore again, go the
next three games they're back in. Have you thought about
a book and each chapter would be like there might
be seventeen chapters in the book, but this one, yeah,
has got to be like the Jets or like the Bears.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Incredible. You can't make this stuff up.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Mo.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
The the manner in which they have lost has been remarkable,
you know. Paul Danner Junior had the stat yesterday writer
for The Athletic that since the beginning of last season,
NFL teams when they score thirty three or more points
are one, thirty six, ten and two. That doesn't include
the Bengals, who are now four and seven. It's been
a hallmark of these last two years where they score

(03:35):
a bunch of points and they have a defense that
simply can't get off the field. And look, Joe Burrow
threw a pitch six yesterday that he can't throw. But
you know, this team demands he be perfect and man
for three plus quarters, he was, he was awesome yesterday
for three plus quarters. He throws a pick six, he
makes a mistake. It can't happen, certainly can't happen in

(03:55):
the fourth quarter when you're trying to protect the lead.
But the Bengals demand that Oburrow do everything for them.
The Bengals demand that Joe Burrow be perfect, and when
that doesn't work, the infrastructure of the team isn't strong
enough to avoid a collapse. And that's exactly what happened yesterday.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Of course you want to ignore for a moment, I'll
come back to it. The Crosstown shootout that's a different matter.
And so Duke, by the way, I think as fair
as Tony Pike's got to owe me sixteen hot fut Sundays,
he keeps going double or nothing on UC and losing,
that's a different issue. But Duke Tobin and Zach Taylor,
the two of them together have picked the roster. I

(04:33):
would think Zach Taylor has significant influence. I would think
Duke Tobin is the decision maker. I would think Mike
Brown is in the background somewhere, but hell, he's ninety
years old. But nonetheless, every news conference of Zach Taylor
looks the same way. He looks perplexed, uncertain, doesn't know
what to do. And so now the defensive coordinator Al Golden.
You took the D out of his name, Golden. But nonetheless,

(04:57):
the season's over, it's done. Joe Burrow turns thirty in December.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Of next year. There's no hope. And Joe Burrow's is
Joe Burrow bengalized at this point? Is he thoroughly infected
or not?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
He looked like it at the end of the game yesterday.
But you know, look the clock is ticking. This is why,
this is why you have legitimate conversations about who should
be picking the players next offseason. And this is why
you have legitimate conversations about who the head coach should be.
Because the Bengals have a meal ticket. Joe Burrow is it.
They've got him for the rest of the decade. Who

(05:33):
knows what's gonna happen with Joe Burrow at the end
of the twenty twenty nine season. Who knows the next
time You're gonna have a genuine a list quarterback Willie
if you watched him yesterday for three plus quarters, who
look like the best quarterback in the sport? And I
think he is? And look again, thirty two to twenty
eight or twenty eight to twenty five. You can't throw
a pitch six right into the hands of an oncoming defender.

(05:55):
You can't. Joe would be the first to admit that.
But time is the essence here. The idea behind drafting
Joe Burrow in twenty twenty was to win a championship.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
While you have him.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
They came agonizingly close at the end of the twenty
twenty one season, and when they did, I think most
of us believe that by now they would at least
continue to be serious contentions. They're on the verge of
missing the postseason for a third consecutive year, and you
just you wonder, You wonder what he's thinking. You wonder
what they're going to do because you're going to probably

(06:27):
miss the postseason for a third consecutive year with Joe
Burrow as your quarterback. That was not supposed to happen.
That can't happen, and so it's fair to wonder how
do they get it turned around to the degree that
a year from now, we're not talking about the Bengals
scratching and clawing and trying to find their way into
the postseason. We're talking about this team competing for a
number one seed. We're talking about this team legitimately competing

(06:49):
for a championship.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
I want to ask you a big question a bit
early before we go on the Crosstown shoot out, which
I love.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Are you ready for the big question?

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Who's in worse shape? Scott Saderfield, Zach Taylor or Wes Miller.
Those are your three choices. You can have It's Miller
time with Wes. You're gonna have Zach Taylor, who looks lost,
or Scott Saderfield, who won seven in a row, then
lost several in a row. At least they played Navy.
God blessed the Navy. Who's in worse shape Saderfield, Taylor

(07:20):
or Miller?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Well, unfortunately for Less, I would have to say it's him,
because with Zach Taylor you have Joe Burrow and you
have a track record. Now, it's a track record that's
heavily weighted towards things that happened longer and longer ago.
But he was the coach for back to back AFC
championship games. That was the coach for a Super Bowl appearance. Yeah,

(07:44):
I think with Scott Saderfield, as unfulfilling as the end
of the season has been, they were better this year.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Now.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
I think it's completely fair to wonder what's the state
of the roster going to look like next season, because
I think when you have all the player that came
back to UC for this year, and when you have
the impact players the Bearcats acquired via the transfer portal
who are basically going to be one year guys, most
of their really good players are set to leave, and

(08:13):
so seven and five feels pretty underwhelming, but it was
mathematical improvement. I think with Wes Miller. You lack the
track record, right, Like the baseline level of expectation is
make the NCAA Tournament. It hasn't happened yet. Then you
look at the team and how they're playing. You look
at the NCAA Tournament mass last season going into Big

(08:35):
Twelve play, the Bearcats had one non conference loss, felt
pretty good, and then we saw the uphill battle they
had once Big Twelfth play got here. That was with
a talented team, Willie. The Bearcats last year had players
who when they left went to places like Saint John's Baylor,
a Big ten school in Penn State. Northwestern didn't go

(08:56):
to these remote outposts to finish or continue their college basketball.
And so you look at it this year. They already
have three losses. They have a game that's effectively a
road game against an SEC team in Georgia that has
lost once. Then a week from Saturday, they have to
play effectively a road game in South Carolina against the
Clemson Team's pretty good. You already have three losses, one

(09:19):
of them's bad at home to Eastern Michigan. You have
two more games against high major competition. Oh, and then
the Big Twelve starts, and the first game is going
to be against Houston. This was looked at as an
NCAA tournament or bust seasons. Right now, making the NCAA
tournament doesn't seem likely. And that's year five for Wes Miller.

(09:41):
And I think we all know. As much as I
really do like Wes a lot, I think I think
he would be the first to tell you that not
making the tournament this year was going to make the
Natives even more restless than they already are, and was
going to put his job status squarely in perhaps the administration's.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Well, you know, my cousin, John Cunningham athletic director. You see,
after two years, gave him a long term, guaranteed bonus
light and extension of his contract. Do you know how
much money it would cost to tell Wes Miller goodbye
at the end of this year.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Cost a lot of money, Bill, no question about it,
millions when he gave him and when he gave him
that extension. What they were trying to do was have
the head basketball coaches salary reflect the league they were in.
They paid him a big twelve salary, and I think
for the better part of three and a half years,
everybody has been willing to give Wes the benefit of

(10:39):
the doubt. I think when things unfolded towards the end
of the season the way they did for the Bearcats,
not just not making the tournament, but not really even
coming close, playing some games at the end of the
year where they were just simply not very competitive, I
think it really started to make people go, Okay, time
for something better, Time for something bigger. That has to
include at least come close to the NCAA tournament. You know,

(11:03):
it's one thing if hey, your team sixty nine and
you were just on the outside looking in and had
a good resume and the committee didn't take you, it's
something else entirely, if Selection Sunday gets here and the
Bearcats are an afterthought, something else entirely. If you lose
fifteen games, sixteen games, seventeen games, and so, I think

(11:25):
it's completely reasonable to wonder how they're going to be
able to avoid doing that, And if they don't avoid
doing that, I think the conversations about West Miller are
going to be really interesting. Now.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
You know, Richard Patino is now bathed deeply in the
blue waters of Xavier basketball. When he showed up after
the game at the Dane Gardens. He came in as
a conquering hero to Rome. All the Plebeians were there,
they were shouting. He picked up the check, He left
thousands of dollars of the Dane of Gardens and bought
the beer for the Xavier students. He was carried down
in the back of Xavier students to a chariot, and

(11:57):
then off he went to his palatial estate. Richard Patino
is the real deal. And now UC's gonna have some
more serious problems. Let's move on to something else, Mo,
and that is the college football Playoffs playoffs. Now, is
James Madison in Tulane among the twelve best football teams
and Notre Dame out?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
What do you say about that one, Mo, Well, they're.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Not among the twelve best teams, but they're in based
on agreed upon rules that everybody signed off on. The
NCAA tournament, which obviously has a larger field, has never
been about taking the best sixty eight teams. It's always
been about taking the sixty eight teams that either qualified
automatically or were chosen by a committee. And you know,

(12:42):
I think Notre Dame to a large degree got screwed
because the message for weeks was their head to head
loss against Miami didn't matter. Well, I think it should have,
But for weeks on end, the committee decided that head
to head loss didn't matter, right to the degree that
the Irish were ranked ahead of the Hurricanes. Suddenly, with

(13:03):
neither team playing a game this weekend, we're given an
opposite message. Suddenly that head to head game does matter,
and Notre Dame is on the outside looking in. Now,
what I would say to Notre Dame is number one, yes,
your gripes are very legitimate. Number two, you want your independence.
You don't want to be in a conference. Sometimes independence
comes at a price. This, to a degree is what

(13:25):
it is. They can't win a conference championship. Now, I
guess they have signed a memorandum of understanding that will
essentially guarantee them inclusion if they're ranked in the top
twelve moving forward. That memorandum of understanding doesn't go into
effect next year. So, okay, you have cherished and fought
for and maintained your independence from a conference. Okay, that

(13:47):
comes at a price. This is part of the price
that you pay. The James Madison inclusion and the two
lane inclusion. Look, I certainly understand arguments that suggest we're
trying to crown a champion here, the field is too
small for a feel good story. Let's pick the best
twelve teams. Neither too later. James Madison then would be
considered among the best twelve teams.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
But everybody agreed upon these rules going in.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Just like in the ACC. You know, there was a
movement to have Miami play in the ACC championship game
even though they didn't qualify based on tiebreakers, so a
five loss Duke team got to play for the ACC title.
When Duke beat Virginia, that effectively guaranteed James Madison a
spot in the playoffs. Those ACC rules were agreed upon,

(14:34):
membership had a chance to vote, they agreed on their tiebreaker,
and the tiebreaker played out unfortunately in the short term,
at least not in Miami's favor, although they ultimately did
make it. We have procedures and protocols for a reason.
The procedures and protocols for the ACC dictated that the
five loss team played for the conference title. The procedures
of playoffs say that the top five ranked conference champions

(14:59):
make the postseason make the playoff. The way things unfolded
this year. That meant a bid for Tulane, and it
meant a bid for James Madison. And I'm sure that
that series of protocols and rules will be blown up
at the end of this season because you're gonna have
a lot of folks in the sport, the power brokers
who don't want to see the little guy get a chance.
And I understand it, I do, I really do. I'm

(15:21):
not sure I want to watch James Madison play Oregon.
But if you're griping about it, well, the gripe should
have came. The grape should have come when these set
of rules were agreed to to begin with.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
And you know what's behind this is the Sherman Clayton
Anti Trust Act. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
There were decuitions held about the lawyers for the smaller
schools saying, look, if you don't include us in all
this money. I think each school gets like four million
dollars plus plus plus, we're going to sue under the
Sherman and Clayton Ani Trust Act. So the lawyers essentially
designed that Notre Dame would not be in your comments
on that one.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Well, you know again, Notre Dame. I understand the gripe.
I share it for weeks on end when you're told
one thing and then you're told something entirely different, with
no game on the field to influence the decision making.
I understand their gripe. But again, there's a price you

(16:16):
pay for your independence. It's not always going to work
out for you, and in this particular set of circumstances,
it didn't work out for Notre Dame. I do understand
their frustration, and by the way, it doesn't bother me
at all the fact that they've chosen to not play
in a ball game. Marcus Freeman and the athletic director
there have to make decisions based on what they think

(16:36):
is best for Notre Dame's football program. Florida State was
snubbed in the fourteen College Football Playoff two years ago
and then embarrassed itself on the field with a bunch
of guys who didn't play against Georgia. I would say
not playing in a ball game is better than doing
what Florida State did two years ago. The ball system
is blowing up anyway, But yeah, look.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
The what Notre Dame did, What Notre Dame has done to.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
This point, by not being in a conference. Can't win
a conference championship if you're not in one. And so
when you have a resume that's deserving of consideration, you
are still putting yourself at the mercy of a committee
and their individual preferences and biases, and you get what
you have come And even if I disagree with what
the committee ultimately chose to do with them.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Well, a giraft is a horse designed by a committee.
Now are you ready for the Are you ready for
the big question? Are you ready for a big question?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Zach Taylor's got one year left on his contract, makes
about four and a half million a year. What are
the odds of Bill Belichick, along with Jordan Hudson and
John Gruden coaching the Bengals next year other than Zach Taylor?

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Why would I want either of them?

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, because number one, Jordan Hudson would be the story
of the year. You talk about good stuff that we
would have talked about. Bill Belichick did a great job
at the tar Heels and John Ruden still has a
lawsuit pending. What are the odds of any of that happening?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Zero point zero.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
There's a better chance of me getting Sidney Sweeney to
come to next year's iHeart Media Christmas Party. Mike, I
don't know who the successor to Zach Taylor would be.
I would be willing to bet it's not going to
be some regurgitated coach by Bill Belichick or John Gruden.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
How about Jordan Hudson and Sidney Sween.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Jordan Hudson. If Jordan Hudson made an Cincinnati I can't
imagine how you would behave.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
It'd be wonderful, it would be absolutely wonderful. All right, Moe,
thank you, But we look forward to the off season
now with Scott Souderfield, Zach Taylor, Wes Miller, Bill Belichick,
and John Gruden. Moe, thank you very much for coming
on The Bill Cunningham Show. And hopefully we'll do something
next Monday on the Bengals. Bengals great victory, possibly this
Sunday against the Ravens, and hopefully the Steelers retie to

(18:53):
of their remaining games, and if that happens, the Bengals
are in Mo. Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
And then we have to have a like a segment
where we preview the Liberty.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Ball, right correct, it'll be huge, huge on seven hundred WQLW,
sure hit the music. I have a call in to
Doug Brannon, the attorney for Alex Shrevinsky, had a trial
schedule for today set off until January. I'm still predicting
the case. We're not going to trial because the city

(19:25):
of Cincinnati cannot afford to have police officers, in fact,
command police officers testify on behalf of the defendant. Alex
Stravinsky hardly ever does the defense in this case. Doug Brannon,
the attorney issue subpoenis for cops to come in to
support the defendant. And so I don't know why it

(19:47):
was continued. Have some calls in to some individuals. We'll
find out what one happened to what went on later on.
So we wish the defendant who was beaten to within
an inch of his life, Alex Shavinsky and also Allie
had her head treated like a football on Elm Street.
And then the city fathers and mothers demanded that white
people be charged with a crime and so and Alex

(20:10):
Stravinsky was, which was a bunch of bs. So we'll
try to discover by Tuesday or Wednesday, what's happening in
the courtroom downtown. Secondly, as you know, the last four
or five days, I was in the Naples, Florida Broadcast
Center of iHeartMedia. Had a little time off, play a
little golf of the boys get down South.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I love it there.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
While I was gone, the whole issue broke about half
Tad Pureval and the REPO man coming after repossession seemingly
multiple vehicle repossessions of af Tad Pureval, who spends more
money on his hair than on his cars.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
A lot of questions on that.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
But to go back a little bit, the three people
who run the City of Cincinnati's billion dollar budget are
number one haf tab puer Ofval, Number two Share her long,
Number three jan Michelle lemon Kearney. She's the top vote
getter on council every year. She's the conscience of council

(21:06):
along with Victoria Parks, who's the President of pro Tem
of Council. By the way, she's the one that said
Holly begged to be beaten. That's another story. Those three
individuals run the city of Cincinnati economically. Who just paid
eight point one million dollars to the so called protesters
in twenty twenty after the so called George Floyd killing

(21:27):
in Minneapolis, that's another story I deal without in a moment.
On one hand, I'm not sure i've met Jan Michelle
Lemon Kearney, but she is the top vote geter on council.
She's going to be the next mayor. I think she's
in her mid sixties or late sixties. Wanning Hills graduate,
the lady went to the Ivy League school.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
She went to.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Dartmouth, got a degree from Dartmouth in the Ivy League.
Also got two degrees from Harvard. One is a master's degree,
the other one is the Jery's doctor degree, which by
the way, I hold proudly from the University of Toledo.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
So the woman is extremely smart.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
She's run many businesses, got into public service about four
or five years ago, and she's always the top vote
get her own council. So she's one of the three
that run financially the city. Looking at a story a
few years back from the Dayton Daily News, and I'll
pull it up here so I look at it more closely.

(22:28):
The new Lieutenant governor candidate that was Eric Kearney. He
was in the state Senate at the time, and his wife,
that's the current council member, Jan Michelle lemon Kearney owe
nearly one million dollars in back taxes. So the story
cut in my eye a few years ago. That's a
lot of money to owe a million dollars in back taxas,
and both of them owed owe it to the federal government,

(22:51):
or at least owed it. Eric Kearney, I met him
a few times, was in the state Senate for about
eight years. Good guy, good man, funny, great to be with.
Go into the story, the two of them found several
businesses running up IRS debts of close to one million
dollars plus plus plus. The story goes on to say,
we're working it out. I'm an entrepreneur, so Jan Michelle

(23:13):
lemon Kearney, I hope she's worked out her difficulties. She
didn't pay her quarterly estimate, she didn't pay her quarterly
payments to the Internal Revenue Service. Those are the monies
out of your employees paycheck that the employer matches that
handles Social Security. So when you don't pay your quarterlyes
FIKA taxes, they will come after you for that because

(23:36):
it's not your money, it's your employees money. And so
after a while, the two of them, according to this
story Dayton Daily News and the year is twenty thirteen.
Democratic Lieutenant Governor candidate Eric Kearney and his wife jan
Michelle Lemon Kearney and their businesses owe nearly one million
dollars in back taxes, according to the records Hamlet County Recorder.

(24:00):
I'm breaking it down.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
That's not good. It's kind of bad. I hope it's
worked out.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
An employee er must take the moneies out of the
employee paychecks and give it to FIKA, and you have
to match that. I think it's about six point two
five percent each, about thirteen percent, and that's the Social
Security fighter taxes. As an employer, you don't pay those
you've collected it. Don't pay them. You've got problems and
a nice lady likely be be the next mayor. But

(24:26):
is it fair to say she's had in the past
serious financial problems? Is out a yes or no? Raise
your hand.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
If it's a yes, all right, you agree with me.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Secondly, next woman in charge of the City of Cincinnati
finances of billion dollars a year is share a long
so uh? And I want to thank Sharon Cooliage. Sharon
Cooliage and now works for the Prosecutor's office for running
these stories about the selection of share Al Long, and
this goes on to say the headline is SHAREL Long

(24:57):
has filed personal bankruptcy and it was a chapter thirteen
something in that character and a lengthy story about why
she owes the money and where the money went, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
But it's a.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Serious problem when you're seeking to become a city manager
and guess what to filed bankruptcy and didn't disclose that
they have to have pure of all. There was this
big time law firm, a big time headhunting firm, spent
his time looking into the several candidates for Cincinnati City Council,
and city Council decided to more or less pick share

(25:30):
Along this is in twenty twenty two to be the
next city manager. And the story headline, written by Sharon
Coolidge of the Inquiry, Cincinnati City Manager designate share Along
would come to the job of managing the city's one
billion dollars in budgets, having previously filed for personal bankruptcy
and the history of small tax problems. The Inquiry is

(25:53):
found have to have pure of All announced Long as
his pick last Friday, and he did not know about
Long's previous financial problems until Long told him on Wednesday,
which is several days after she was selected. So you
went through the process and she filed bankruptcy in twenty
eight finalized in twenty thirteen. The state tax leans were

(26:15):
less than one thousand dollars each in day to nine,
eleven and fifteen. And I assume she's worked out the difficulties.
She's now making about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
a year. But much like shall we say, the difficulties
of Lemon Kearney, I hope it's been resolved.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
I believe it's been I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
She's filed personal bankruptcy and she's the city manager in
charge of a billion dollar budget.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Now.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Bada booon, bada bing bata bang. I come up to
current events. A few days ago, it was disclosed by
someone in city Hall given to the news media me
included and also A channel's five nine and nineteen that
our current mayor, after a peer of all doesn't make

(27:03):
car payments. The REPO man has visited after a Peer
ofval On at least two occasions and popped his car.
The REPO man showed up at city Hall and hooked
up as Tesla in twenty twenty four and put it
on the hook and hauled it away. Now it's kind
of embarrassing. I think when the mayor of our city

(27:25):
has his car repossessed, I think at least twice.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
So when that happened, that was quieted down. Not many
people talked about it.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Bought a boon ba ban bata bang because it didn't
come to light until about a month ago. The day
after the election, there was a repossession order issued against
the mayor's twenty twenty three black Lincoln aviator, saying that
repossessed the car because he's not making his payments. Now

(27:56):
the inquir has a story on this, of course, and
Kevines has written it is an opinion. The mayor says,
quote last year, due to my carelessness and my auto
pay on my car was not working and as a result,
my car was repossessed. Since that time, I've been in
possession of my car. I'm up to date on payments.
I'm not aware of any other pending issues with the car. Well,

(28:19):
what happened a month ago, November the fifth, when another
repossession order was issued against a different car, And we're
not sure about that either, Kevin Aldreys in the in
Car goes on to say, Pure of All is not
just any borrower trying to.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Make ends meet.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
He's the mayor of a major American city responsible for
overseeing a multi billion dollar budget. That job comes with
high expectations of financial responsibility, just as important transparency when
something goes wrong. The mayor essentially said, the dog ate
my homework. That's my comment. The auto pay wasn't working
doesn't really answer the question. Most repossessions involve days or

(28:58):
months of begging someone to pay phone calls, text messages, emails,
et cetera.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
And have to have pure of all.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
In twenty twenty four and now in December twenty five,
it's not a person hard to find.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
You know where he is.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
That's how the first car was popped the repo man
and this another car a year later is subject to
another repossession. Leads me to conclude that the leaders of
this city financially should not be in their present position.
And the inquir goes on to say, it's hard to
fathom how pure of all, who or whoever manages his

(29:34):
finances missed all of the text messages, the mailed letters,
the emails telling him you haven't made a car payment.
It raises a different set of concerns about attention to
detail and follow through. The out of pay story leaves
more questions than answers. Doesn't make sense. So the three
people in charge of our finances is number one, the

(29:56):
city manager who's filed personal bankruptcy. Number two lemon Kearney,
according to the Dayton Daily News, had about a million
dollars in federal tax lines against her, and number three
of the mayor who keeps getting his car repossessed the
REPO man. Does this give you confidence the city is
being well run financially? Then they pay eight point two

(30:17):
million dollars to a bunch of protesters who were told
dozens of times to leave the public streets, get off
the sidewalks, you're going to be arrested. And after about
ten or fifteen times they finally were arrested. They were
held overnight and released. And now the city those financial
advisors who filed bankruptcy and have cars repossessed, those people

(30:39):
are now paying eight point two million dollars, two million
dollars of which goes to ALFONSK. Hartstein, the ACLU attorney
who's retired. Two million dollars to the attorney. And by
the way, there's no better ACLU attorney that's ever existed,
better than Alfonse co Hartstein. I had a case with
him one time. That guy is good at what he does,
but he's a big time lip. Shall we say, he's

(31:00):
collecting two million dollars of your money and the rest
of the six million go to the so called quote
protesters are getting paid about seventeen thousand dollars each for protesting.
The individuals making that decision are the ones that have
filed bankruptcy.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Do you have any confidence the city is financially well run?

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Raise your hand. I'm looking around. Do you think the
city of Cincinnati?

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Where are we here? We are right there? Do you
think the city of Cincinnati is being well run? Thank you?
I agree.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
This is unbelievable. And when this money's were paid, John
Cranley and Joe Dieters talked together. John Cranley said, let's
lock them up. We don't have room in the jail.
They were in a holding area. We'll let them all go.
They were charged with misdemeanors of trespass which they obviously
committed that act, and then released the next day. Now,

(31:50):
they're getting paid, and the jurors to determine whether or
not they should be paid anything would have been the
jurors from southern Ohio, not just hamblin a county. Do
you think the juror in Brown, Canon County, Adams County,
Warren County, and Claremont County would have given these protesters
eight point two million dollars? I don't think so. So,
what in the hell is going around? Is happening in

(32:13):
this place? Can you tell me what's going on? The
mayor has his car popped, the city manager has filed bankruptcy,
and the leader of council, according to the Dayton Daily
News in twenty thirteen, going Forward, had won million dollars
in tax lines against her, and they're the ones in charge.
Do you see a problem? Now, let's continue with more

(32:36):
coming up later. We have Congressman Warren Davidson, a good
friend of Jeff Beckham's, and more and furthermore, more of
my comments. And the city just elected the same crew
by eighty some percent to keep it going. And a
good police chief Fiji is fired. They're gonna have to
pay her millions and pay Chief fire Chief Washington millions.

(32:58):
Keep paying out millions in onions and millions by individuals
like the mayor who says car repossessed twice, he spends
more money on his hairdoo than on cars. Bill Cunningham
News Radio seven hundred ww Kenyon All and one of
the great representatives in the Congress's Warren Davidson up the
state of Ohio. Have been there about ten years, graduated

(33:20):
from Notre Dame, also at West Point Graduate and Congressman
Warren Davidson. First of all, welcome again to the Bill
Cunningham Show and Merry Christmas. And I want to get
a military guy's perspective on the double tap that happened
on these Narco terrorists and how unusual is it for
that to occur. The admiral involved seems to be a
platinum gold when it comes to ethics, values and morals.

(33:43):
What he did was have out his side a jag lawyer,
Department of Defense approving what he was doing. So how
does a military man process what's happening in the Caribbean.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
Is very to see you and all your listeners as well.
Thanks for having me on. And look, you know, when
you think about the military, go back to George Washington
on Christmas, they cross the Delaware and change the course
of the revolution. So you know, we're here at a
time where we've just remembered the day that lives in infamy,

(34:15):
December seventh, and now we're moving moving forward. But you know,
you look at the long legacy of our military. Look
we the military. They take action when all the diplomacy fails. Right,
we tried the asking nicely, we told them to stop,
and now you have to make them stop bringing the

(34:37):
drugs into our country. And so President Trump rightly declared
the cartel's enemies of our country. They are clearly enemies
of our country. They're killing Americans with this poison intentinal
and all kinds of other horrific acts. And they're allied
with people that are also part of a broader terror

(34:58):
network in a broader terror fund system. So they're legitimate targets.
There is an eminent threat to Americans, and so they've
gone through all that. Then when you go to target it,
they intended to kill the people on the boat and
sink the boat. Right, They want to kill they want
to take out everything about that boat. And the idea

(35:20):
that well you only get one shot at it is crazy.
Now They've tried all kinds of word parsing to get
around the fact. The root issue is they don't want
to take out the cartels. I mean, at the end
of the day, they've been the great Democrats have been
the greatest thing ever for the cartels. When Donald Trump
was president number forty five, the cartels were making money

(35:42):
trafficking people across the southern border. The New York Times
estimated about five hundred thousand dollars a year. But with
two years into the Biden administration, the New York Times
Hardly a friend of ours says that the cartels were
making over thirteen billion dollars a year just trafficking the
people exploiting them, among them tens of thousands of unaccompanied miners,

(36:07):
many of whom the Trump administration have recovered. So these
these are horrible Democrats don't want to stop the cartels.
They've designed policy after policy that helps the cartels. And
so now they're out there like, well, you can't come
back and try to kill them a second time. They
were stranded on a boat that was going to sink
and you had to go rescue them, Well, no, you don't.

(36:30):
Now if they were defenseless and floating in the water
trying to survive and get to shore. There is a
shipwreck provision in the law of armed conflicts, and that
did in fact happen. If you recall, there were two
people that were rescued by our military and our Coastguard.

(36:51):
They were returned to their country of origin.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Now I think they.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
Should have been extra died and prosecuted. I mean they
were in the act of something else. Get Mos a
great fitting place underutilized these days, and you could have
taken them there and just made it clear like, no,
you don't get a free pass for trying to do
this to our country. But that's the kind of lay
of the land right now as I see it.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Well, we have many examples in the past of sinking
a disabled enemy vessel, even when carrying a wounded personnel,
at a standard naval practice for generations. I saw this
story on the History Channel, which I love watching, and
the commentator that made the remarks during the Battle of Midway,
one of the Japanese carriers that was blue up was

(37:38):
burning dead in the water, no longer able to fight
or launch aircraft, but it was full of injured, dead
and dying Japanese soldiers. To the tune of several hundred.
And you know, you know what we did, Congressman. We
kept throwing torpedoes into the ship until it was at
the bottom of the ocean.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
And that was lawful.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
And so there were hundreds of wounded Japanese of the
Imperial Navy we put to the bottom of the Pacific
because they were on an aircraft carrier likely to sink
and disabled enemy vessel. Everyone caring when the personnel has
been standard naval practice for generations and consistent with the
law of the armed conflict of the sea, not to

(38:16):
directly kill those men, but to take the ship to
the bottom of the ocean.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
And what happens happens, you know what I'm saying, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
And look, we've got colleagues, frankly Republicans in intercrafts that
are out there like, well, you know, you can't just
give a death penalty to these guys. They're trafficking drugs.
It's not a capital offense. Look, you don't send in
the military to read Miranda rights people, right. The military
action is not you know, police action, right. It is

(38:46):
not like, oh, well, we're going to send them out
with you know, tasers and flex cuffs and bring them
all in for questioning. The military is diplomacy failed. You
should have negotiated, you should have complied, and we told
you and you didn't, And now we're going to make
you stop posing a threat to our country.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
And the stronger and more.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Focused our military is, the more effective our state department
can be, the more effective our homeland security department can be,
the more secure our border can be. And these are
the objectives, and that's the root of it. People at
the end of the day don't want the border secure,
They don't want the black market closed off, and they

(39:28):
want to military that isn't designed to fight and win
decisive battles. They want these nebulous continue on forever. I mean,
these are the same kind of people that sent the
JAG officers over to say, well, you know, you were
trying to kill this guy over in Afghanistan before, but
now you can't really kill him. You know, you could
kill him over here, but you can't kill him there.

(39:50):
And yeah, it looks like he's putting an id out there,
but you got to wait until you take direct fire
from somebody. These are the stupidest things that they come
up with. They need to stay the heck away from
the warriors that are out there doing what needs to
be done to defend our country.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
And you may have recalled during that disastrous leaving of
Kabbo Afghanistan, the desertion of our duties ordered by Joe Biden.
He sent drones over to take out a couple of
white trucks that had eight children and four women inside
the trucks. It was the goal was to kill a
couple of terrorists. They might have killed a couple of terrorists,

(40:28):
but they killed about eight children and four women in
the process. And the Democrats did not raise his think
at all, did they.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
Yeah, they Saint Obama to them, right, I mean, he
could do no wrong. Everything was great, even when he
killed an American who was like sixteen. And I'm not complaining.
I think, you know, this guy had made himself an
enemy of our country. You know, there were a lot
of smarter ways to wage the war on Terror, and
there's been very little accountability for those people that waged it.

(40:58):
But it's been disappointing watch veterans, you know, particularly some
of these guys who who were part of the reason
we were not succeeding in the war they're anxious to
hold everybody in the lower ranks accountable all day, but
there's never any accountability for the generals. And now they're
out there commentating from the side, trying to tear down

(41:19):
peak headseth and note that all it appears to be
well coordinated. Right So, right after the Seditious six go
out and release their video about this, the whole media
thing comes in. So you know, there wasn't like some
naive set of coincidences. I do believe their coincidences, that

(41:41):
video was not one of them. This is a coordinated operation,
and it's designed to sow discord and dissent within our militaries,
designed to undermine the current chain of command and weaken
our country. It's horrendous that this is even going on,
and it's even more horrendous to me that it's being
tolerated and talked about out seriously.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Well.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
On another issue, sometime in a week or so, the
Senate is going to take up they agree to take
up and have a vote on the extension of Obamacare.
Can you briefly describe what was promised by Obamacare in
the beginning, how it turned out, and why I would
anticipate you think a wooden stake needs to go into
the heart of Obamacare.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Yeah, you know, of course, it's called the Affordable Care Act,
and the Obama branded it, and the whole promise was
that it would make health care more affordable.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Right.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
It obviously hasn't succeeded in that. No, I won't say
there were nothing out of it that came to be effective.
I mean, now you can keep your kids on your
plan until they're twenty six. If you get like a
family plan, you've got a way to cover pre existing
conditions and things like that where people found themselves kind
of locked out.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Of access to healthcare.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
So that those are things that are broadly bipartisan and supported.
And even when Republicans were trying to perform this back
in twenty seventeen, there were things that were preserved. But
what fundamentally they do is there of the As Obamacare
continued to fail in twenty one, they decided, you know,
we need more subsidies to go to bail out the

(43:15):
Obamacare and cover for the fact that it's failing. And
they came up with has to be like the dumbest idea,
which is, let's give the subsidies direct to the health
insurance companies. Now, you know, if you would give it
to the doctors or hospitals, I mean, that might make sense.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
If you give it to the people who owe the.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Hospital and doctor bills, that would make sense. But why
would you give it to a middleman, particularly one that
performance hasn't been good. I mean, in spite of all
the subsidies, they didn't keep health care affordable. Now, their
profit margins have been phenomenal, their share prices have done great.
In one of the top performing ETFs out there is
a healthcare ETF has just been predictable as can be,

(43:56):
soaring since Obamacare started pouring cash into the health insurance companies.
But people are still getting double digit increases. They're still
being out of pocket max rays, still being denied claims,
still being told, oh, that was out of network, all
kinds of terrible service. People can't stand the health insurance company,
even though they might say, you know, I had great
doctors and nurses, and the technology is great and everything else.

(44:19):
The medical building process has been a disaster, and so
instead of fixing that, Democrats want to continue to hide
the failure of Obamacare and pretend that it's great with
more subsidies. And so that's the challenge right here. And
I think, you know, kudos to President Trump because he's
talked about you know, health freedom accounts where the money would.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Go directly to individuals.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
Yes, and you know, if you're going to subsidize something,
that would be way smarter way to do it, and
it would ultimately help reorient healthcare as the user is
the person that pays for it, and then it could
actually have function more like a market so that it
would actually hold prices down and in at least increase service.

(44:59):
If if you're going to have it out there, I mean,
you know, they don't respond to the consumer in the
current model.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
And Congressman, I think Republicans do a bad job at
pr And in this case, the average person thinks, somehow
Republicans want to take away healthcare, when in reality, Republicans
want quality healthcare centered around the patient, and the Democrats
want to give billions of dollars to the insurance companies
who then screw the patients and get campaign donations back.

(45:26):
If you would ask the average person living in this
country who wants to provide healthcare at little expense, the
answer would probably be the Democratic Party. But The average
person doesn't understand that Obamacare gives subsidies directly to insurance
companies hoping they hold down costs. They're not incentivized to
do so, and they don't. Plus, some of the deductibilities

(45:46):
are five to ten thousand dollars for each person you're
out of network. The thing is collapsed and it's failed.
Why should you subsidize a failure? And Obamacare is a failure,
And so at some point the House may have to
vote on this thing. How would you vote in a
week or two?

Speaker 4 (46:04):
Well, look, I'm against just continuing the status quo of
more subsidies for a failed plan.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
I mean, this is a crazy idea.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
And look, I will say Democrats, they've been sort of
dancing to the same sheet music for a long time.
They love Obamacare, and they wanted it as a gateway
drug to get single payer, you know, socialist healthcare where
the government runs everything. I mean, some of them want
a true national system where the doctors and hospitals are
operated by.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
The government too. That's really vacare for all.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
And while the VA has moved a lot in the
right direction since Trump's first term, and a lot of
good reform packages, I mean, you don't have the same
kinds of problems in a lot of our private sector
hospitals that you've had in VA with you know, veteran care.
So I don't think that's something should be replicated for everybody.

(46:56):
What we should do is continue to do the part
that works. Most Americans get their insurance to their employer.
They're pretty happy with it. And the trouble is is
that it works fine if you get a job at
Procter and Gamble or something, a huge employer, and they
have great plans and everything else like that, they're a
great company. But if you look at a small business

(47:19):
you get twenty employees, one person gets cancer, they want
to spread that risk over twenty people. Well, that doesn't
share the risk pool big enough. So part of the
reforms that Republicans had was to put the high cost
to insured a high risk pool. That would take that
out of the insurance market, so the Medicaid dollars would

(47:39):
go to that. Then regular health insurance would have less.
Some of the five or ten most expensive things wouldn't
even have to be covered by anybody, they'd be so
that would be the subsidy and it would go to
treat these things that are just super expensive to treat
and normal health care, normal access to health care for
your common conditions. People you know, have a baby and

(48:02):
you know, want to want to do maternity and all
this stuff. Those kinds of things would would be lower
because you're not subsidizing the super high expensive stuff they're
because you're doing cancer treatments with the same twenty employees, right,
And so changing that risk model is are things that
aren't sexy, they aren't flashy, they don't mark it well,

(48:23):
but they really do lower costs. And so those are
the kinds of things we have to do. And I
think you know President Trump's onto something is if you
do want to extend the subsidies, let's make sure we
send them money to the people and let them buy
the plan they want.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
That's the other thing.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
Obamacare mandated that everybody has to have a standard package
of insurance, so you couldn't customize it anymore. And you know,
you look at some of the advertisers on TV. They've
made a mint talking about, well, customize it by the
things you want from your car, your home or everything else.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
But when it comes to healthcare, you can't do that.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
You got to buy the whole package.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
I don't need transgender services care, I don't need all
kind of stuff, and I buy want to have the
insurance that fits my needs at this particular point. And
one size does fit all, and that spreads the premiums
over a large group of people that none of whom
need the care for some of the things that have
been ordered. Well, Congressman Warren Davids and we got to go.
The affordability crisis is here, and it is caused by

(49:20):
the policies of the Democrat Party, and instead of taking
responsibility for it, they want to make things more unaffordable,
such as rents, utility expenses, and healthcare costs. And I
hope our conversation informed the American people as to what
the plan is. And the Democrats want to keep the
campaign donations coming from the insurance companies and Donald Trump

(49:41):
and you want to give the subsidies directly to the
insured person and let that person decide what they specifically need.
Then costs go down. And Warren Davidson, once again, thanks
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and Merry Christmas
and a happy near to you. Warren Davidson. You're doing
a great job.

Speaker 2 (49:58):

morning ESPN. Yeah, if the Steelers have two ties in
the remaining four games and the Bengals sweep, they're in.
If they beat they'll beat the Ravens, they win the

(57:15):
next four games, and if that happens, guess what, and
the Steelers tied twice, they're in. You know what I'm
saying more to night on Bengals line six oh five
here on seven hundred WLW Bengals home Sunday against those Ravens.
Is that going to happen? Are the Bengals going to
win the next four and the Steelers tie two of

(57:35):
the four?

Speaker 2 (57:36):
It would be advisable. Maybe to start doing that.

Speaker 1 (57:38):

Not enough experience, And according to John Cunningham, oops, my
half brother. Yeah, Kurt Signetti did not have the right
kind of experience to coach the Bearcats, but Scott Soaderfield did.

(01:01:19):
And so Kurt Signetti goes to Indiana and the rest,
shall we say, is history. What would the Bearcats be
like if John Cunningham had said, you know, Kurt Signetti,
you come here, we'll take care of you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Did that happen segment?

That's Ken Griffy Junior and also Barry larkinstyle. Do you
like that? That sounds good to me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
The Great American This morning as a trial schedule involving
City of Cincinnati versus Alex Chavinski.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
His attorney's joining us now.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Doug Brannon, I think on his way back to Dayton
and attorney Doug Brannon, what happened this morning in Hamony
County Municipal Court.

Speaker 10 (01:05:35):
You know, ultimately Bill, the case guy continued to do
jury trials could be January twelve. The state made a
great disclosure of a witness. Come to find out, this
witness has an extensive felony history that wasn't disposed to
us as well. We want some time of book into that.
And in addition to that, aparently the FBI had a

(01:05:56):
competation department that was there that he needed to describe,
called it a simulated wap, not an actual slap from
Alex Stravinsky that this is what they're playting is the
criminal contents. So this is expectatory evidence that wasn't produced
in a tightening passion working at continue as the bechinnion.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
So this morning you were told for the first time
the city was going to use a witness against your client.
And because they just told you this morning about this
new witness, she didn't have time to research the fact
who is this guy? And the witness state is closed
has multiple criminal convections?

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:06:34):
And to be fair, Phil, the witness wasn't disclosed until
they ended business on Friday. You know, he were able
to find some of his criminal convictions, didn't know anything
else about what he made or may not justify to
his store Dorut place was provided about the witness, but
certainly weren't his primo background as well as what he

(01:06:55):
would testify to. Uh So he needed the court continued
the trial so that we had a pure opportunity and
to review the additional discovery that was provided an investment at.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
Here we are in December the eighth. This event took
place July July twenty sixth. Why didn't the city disclose
this witness to you until Friday at the close of business?
What's the reason for not disclosing it to to say
it was recently discovered or that they simply were somewhat recalcitrant.

Speaker 10 (01:07:29):
I never got a good explanation why this information wasn't
provided until Friday eight about four forty close of business.
But nonetheless it was produced very last minute, working and
continuous to the case. But we are looking more to
trying this case. Our Jameenbridge, welcome this port.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
I made a wild guest at an M four involving
Cincinni police, many of them support your version of the
facts will never go to trial because the city's not
that stupid to put them on trial. Do you have
any indication they're going to dismissed the case. There's no,
there's no lesser offense below an M four other than
an MM. But nonetheless, Uh, have they offered a deal

(01:08:07):
to you of any type to not sue the city
if you get something in exchange.

Speaker 10 (01:08:13):
Leave not engaged in any lee negotiations with the city
and reviews to do so. PEOP will try this case
to a jury. Uh, you know, and we plan on
calling the detectives involved in this case. The death, therey,
the games is police.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
You know many times, as you know, Doug Brannon, it
is not the defense to call the police to support
their version of the facts normally.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Is the opposite?

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Is it true that you have so painted uh since
night police officers to testify on behalf of your client.

Speaker 10 (01:08:42):
Well, these are these are turistical detectives wanting to do
the right thing and are not pulling it much for
the city. I think that they're going to playing your
trial and I think in that for it is going
to exonerate Alex of these focus charges, uh, disorderly contract.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
Somewhat unusual, so Defense Council as issues of penis for
the detectives who investigated the case of Alex Stravinsky. And
is it true that the detectives who have spent hours,
according to the FOP hundreds of hours investigating this assault
on July twenty sixth that during the music festival that

(01:09:18):
these detectives said, do not file criminal charges against Alex Chevinsky?

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
Is that true?

Speaker 10 (01:09:25):
You know, East de Techers has put a lot of
work into this case. I think that they done some
very good work. They put it were able to identify
almost all of these suspects the committees heet us acts.
And you know, I don't believe that they think that
el s. Robsky did anything honk here and neither do I.
That's why we're going to trot.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
And you also made reference to a CI from the FBI.
Can you put some more bones on this confidential informant?

Speaker 10 (01:09:53):
Well, it would appear from the information that I've been
provided that there was a confidential afortman investigating the same
crew for probably related affectsus, the same crew that attacked
Alex and all his friends that evening. I mean, it's
clear this is an almost criminal gain activity that is

(01:10:13):
what went down that day?

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Did they disclose this to you before before Friday?

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:10:21):
The FBI confidential informal information was not disclosed until late
on Friday as well.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
Can you can you come up with a reason for that?

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
No.

Speaker 10 (01:10:31):
I can't speak for why the city did not produce
this information earlier or to they plan on bringing the
trial earlier. All I can do is the actors lobster
their late disposures.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
A couple more quick questions. I know you're busy.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
Is it true that the investigating detectives and the Chief
of Police Fiji uh and others in the police chance
and command would not file these criminal charges? And that
Captain now acting Chief Adam Henny is the one who
was told to do so by Emily smart Warner, who's

(01:11:07):
the city solicitor.

Speaker 10 (01:11:10):
Well, that's the answer to a question that I plan
on getting it prial on January.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Twelve, Bill, wouldn't it be someone unusual if the detectives
investigating a crime and the chief of police would not
file criminal charges, but over their head, the political powers
at City Hall ordered criminal charges against the innocent person.
According to one of the news conferences, because of the
color of his skin. Would that be someone unusual, it would.

Speaker 10 (01:11:37):
Be highway and for a politician to get involved in
ordering who should and shouldn't be charged from an incident. Obviously,
the black community at Cincinnati was demanding this. There were
some CIDY officials that are supported by those people. This
seemed to have possibly acted in this case. But I'm
going to get answers to under oath to these same

(01:11:59):
questions trial on January twelve, when they put these people
on the witness.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
See, you had told me earlier on the air that
the Federal Authorities Civil Rights Division of the Department of
Justice is looking at looking at this case as racial
discrimination against Alex Schravinsky, your client. Is that still is
that investigation ongoing to the best of your knowledge, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:12:22):
And resst of my knowledge, the FBI are still involved
in the case, and that that investigation is still ongoing.
But so far we're not aware of any filings by
the Better Old.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Order, and that would be against the civil leaders of
the city of Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
Correct.

Speaker 10 (01:12:38):
I'm not sure exactly what they're investigating, but they are
still involved in this case to my knowledgy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
And lastly about your civil rights lawsuit as far as
charging someone based upon the color of their skin and
using under A nineteen eighty forty two USC.

Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
Nineteen eighty three civil rights violations.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
And that's a civil matter in which you're going to
seek money damages from the City of Cincinnati.

Speaker 10 (01:13:02):
When will that lawsuit be filed. Well, we're going to
try the case against Alex Stravinsky. First exonerate him, and
then we will based upon some of the testimony that
is derived from that trial maet decisions about whether or
not we are pursuing civil cases against certain officials within
the city of incidact.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
They're handing out eight point two million dollars to criminal protesters.
I can only imagine what this case is worth. And
I'm still willing to make a prediction, Doug Brannon that
somehow the city will not want their command officers under
oath talking about conversations between them and the mayor, between
them and the city manager, between them and Emily smart Warner.

(01:13:40):
I'm willing to predict they don't want any of this public.

Speaker 10 (01:13:42):
Would you agree, Well, so far they seem to be
willing to go to trial on it, So let's play
along and let's see what they'd have to say.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
Doug Brandon, the trial date next is what January the twelfth.

Speaker 10 (01:13:55):
January twelve, we will be back in court on Alex's
case and we do expect a jury trial to move forward.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Well, God bless you and God bless America. Doug, thank
you very much. Thanks though you take care of God
bless you. Let's continue the more. Let's continue with more.

Speaker 1 (01:14:09):
That this arose because after a thorough, complete investigation by
a good police agency, they recommended that no charges be
fouled against Alex Schravinsky. And then the civil authorities in
charge of the city, who is the mayor, the city
manager Emily Smartwarner and Vice Mayor Michelle lemon Kearney, demanded

(01:14:33):
that a white person be charged with a crime because
the black community demanded it, and it happened. So the
power of the criminal justice system was turned against a
person because of the color of their skin. That's why
the Department of Justice is looking into charges against the
civil authorities that run the city of Cincinnati. Later on

(01:14:53):
would be the money, damages and more. How ridiculous. Bill Cunningham,
News Radio seven hundred. I know it's been a few
months since the end of July July twenty sixth, when
the beatdown took place on Elm Street during the music festival,
and a lot of the knowledge that we have five
six months later have been lost. You go back in
time just a little bit. This was about three o'clock

(01:15:15):
in the morning. There were numerous videos of every description
that were available then and have been reviewed constantly by
the police to say, okay, what happened. Unlike many crimes
that are committed, seldom committed on video. And in fact,
I would say that the beatdown of Holly and Alex
Stravinsky and others only occurred the fallout because it was
on video. These things probably happen on a regular basis,

(01:15:39):
but unless it's recorded, unless it's on video, gets to television,
gets to radio, get to the print. Inquire that it's
like a tree falling in the forest, nobody hears it.
So it didn't occur because it's videoed and went national
and I made sure with Bill Hammer and Sean Hannity
and went national that okay, now that's getting some scrutiny.

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
And the city like it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
So what happened is that the police had all the
videos early on, according to the FOP, and the two
detectives involved in the case spent hundreds of hours over
a several week period reviewing all the videos because they
were under pressure to charge quote, white people with crime.
It was quote the black community wanted it. I think

(01:16:23):
most black folks want justice and don't want a racial outcome,
but I regress. And so when the criminal charges were
filed against the six or seven main perpetrators who treated
human beings heads like there were soccer balls, there was
an outcry, according to some of the politicians in town,
that the black community demanded that the person who instigated

(01:16:45):
it or started it, not being according to according to them,
Alex Shrevinsky also be charged. So the serious charges were
filed against six or seven individuals, and a big news
conference was held and with Scottie Johnson and lemon Kearney
and the civil rights crowd all showed up to demand
that a white person be charged, the white person that

(01:17:06):
started at all.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
But there was a problem.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
The detectives in the case, to whom will testify on
behalf of the defendant that they had videotape before the
so called slap that indicated that the major perpetrators had
started the process before Alex slapped anybody. So there was proof,
video proofed that's been playing on five, nine, twelve, and nineteen,

(01:17:32):
in which you can look at in which the so
called major criminal defendants beat on Alex Ravinsky, and that
his so called slap about ten seconds later was trying
to get the main perpetrators off him. So the case
fell apart. But however, having walked down the road of
racial justice, the lemon Kearneys and the Scottie Johnson's Mika

(01:17:55):
Owens could not unring the bell. They continue to maintain,
quote a white person should be charged. So the order
came down from on high. Okay, charge Alex Stravinsky with
this orderly conduct, making an M four which is thirty
days in jail, two hundred and fifty dollars fine. He
was the guy had the crap beat at him. He
was a victim, not a perpetrator. So the two detectives

(01:18:16):
got the word charge Alex Stravinsky with a DC. They said,
no way, Jose, I'm not putting my name on an
affidavit touring under oath that guy committed a crime when
I know he didn't commit a crime. So now the
city had a problem the elections coming up. Racial justice
must be served, according to Alex. According to Scotti Johnson

(01:18:39):
A Lemon Kearney, a white person had to be charged,
but the black community wanted a white person charged, and
so much like in the Saturday Night massacre, the investigators,
the cops, the detectives wouldn't do it. The chief of
police wouldn't do it. So it went up to the
Mayor's office to f TB. Pirival who has had his
cars repossessed, and then down to share along. Then it

(01:19:01):
came down to Emily smart Warner, who's the solicitor of
the city, ordering that these charges be filed. One cop
stepped up. That was Captain Adam Henny, who's now the
acting chief, who did not investigate the case, and he said,
I'll follow the charge to protect my guys. He did
not want the guys under him to be disciplined in

(01:19:23):
some way or have their careers affected by demanding they
commit perjury by filing an affidavit about factual conditions in
their mind that did not exist. So Captain Adam Henny
did what the mayor and the city manager, the civil
authorities demanded to occur, which is charging a white person
with a crime. Set for trial today, December the eighth,

(01:19:46):
the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, by the way, and
now it's been continued January twelfth. This case been penning
for months in the city Solicitor's office, it's in the
county prosecutor, mister Manner. City solicitor has to provide to
the defendant all the witnesses to be used at trial
in a good fashion, so that there's enough research done
on the witnesses, so the defense is prepared to cross examined.

(01:20:08):
But the City Prosecutor's office waited after the close of
business on Friday to disclose that there may be a CI,
a confidential informant working the city who can testify as
to what he saw. But the videotape says it all,
doesn't it. Plus that there's another witness who is a
lengthy criminal record that the city wanted to use, and

(01:20:30):
they didn't disclose it till close a business on Friday,
all of which is wrong. You've got to give someone
defense council generally thirty days notice who you want to
use a trial, and it didn't happen. So now the
city's between a rock and a hard place, because the
city wants to proceed against Stravinsky, but the department of
Justice Civil Rights Division doesn't like the idea of the

(01:20:52):
mayor and the city solicitor of a major American city
demanding that a person be charged with a crime because
of their race. Democrats wanted to fuel racial strife to
get votes with the election coming up. And the Democrats
are generally at the roots of this nation's racial divide.
And it's long been not the case. And in Alabama
in the fifties and sixties, the Democrats demand that the

(01:21:14):
black people be charged. Now the Democrats in the cities
now demand that the white person be charged irrespective of
the facts.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Can you smell what I'm cooking? Bill Cunningham, this radio
seven hundred w kill them? You know they're going to
be like dead. Okay, hello, quiets, I'm broadcasting.

Speaker 3 (01:21:40):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
I hate to bring up some of these things. Uh
segment brought it up early. That's a big question. You
give it to me. There's a lot going on a
weekend for the rockster. Saint X goes down hard.

Speaker 8 (01:21:51):
They played hard, they were close, but you know, got
behind early and then you got your you're the bad
call bottle.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
I want to bring it up.

Speaker 8 (01:22:01):
It's third and long and the guy just throws Levi
Davis throws up a pass that Kingdom come and the
guy catches it, but his one foot, like three quarters
of his.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
Foot was out of bounce. How do you miss that?

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:22:13):
But nevertheless they goes down hard.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
You're won the game. Great fan basketball with Wes Miller.
Great fan.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
Uh Catino is bathed now in the deep blue waters
of Xavier basketball throwing and you got your favorite team,
the Bengals. Josh Allen's running like a male buffalo in
the ranges of Wyoming.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
Then the cherry on top of it is.

Speaker 1 (01:22:34):
Then on Sunday, about noon, we got a report that
Notre Dame. Notre Dame is not in the cf P.
They're done, They're over now, they're urinated off. They're not
going to the toilet Bowl to play the Mormons. Joe
Frederick was unhappy. Joe was gonna do T shirts Mormons
versus the Catholics. That was going to be the bat

(01:22:55):
Let me lay.

Speaker 8 (01:22:57):
Should have made the playoffs and then all lay out
of case for why they may have been justified in
staying out of the Bulls. Number one one, okay, start
off zero to two, okay, But they lost those those
two games by a combined four points. Okay, one was
on a botched extra point. If they get that, they
likely go and beat Texas a andely. But then they
rattle off ten game win streak where they beat each

(01:23:20):
team by an average of thirty points. Say, okay, say
that again. How much ten straight victories? Average win was
by thirty points. So they were blowing teams out of
the waters.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
But can a team evolve? Can a team like get better?

Speaker 8 (01:23:36):
They start off the season with a brand new quarterback,
three new offensive linemen. By the way, Alabama gets beat
Okay by twenty one points where they had minus three
rush yards, give them their third loss of the season,
and they're going to the playoff.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
Deserve to go to the playoffs minus three yards? Yesh, Yeah,
that's impossible. So you're saying Notre Dame was screwed blue.

Speaker 8 (01:24:00):
For five weeks the committee had Notre Dame ranked above Miami.
Then in the final week, no, no, we'll flip it.
So what is the point of doing the rankings each
week if they hold no regard it should it should
evolve into something name didn't lose.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
You're making excuses. I'm not making.

Speaker 8 (01:24:18):
If no name was in the tournament. Okay, they would
be a top they would be a top three favorite
to win.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
The whole thing isn't James Madison's just a great football
to make that makes sense.

Speaker 8 (01:24:27):
Now, I'm all for the little guy getting a shot,
But James Madison Twulane are in the playoff and Notre
Dame is not about Holly.

Speaker 2 (01:24:34):
Vanderbilt is not Texas is not.

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
About Holly Madison. What about our cupcakes? I'm just saying,
who had a who had a worst weekend? Let me
give you give you four names?

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
All right? You got Zach Shula.

Speaker 1 (01:24:46):
Okay, head coach of your Bengals, got Wes Miller of
the UC Bearcats, Scott Saderfield and football Bearcats.

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
And then Bill Belichick.

Speaker 8 (01:24:56):
Say it's for worst weekend? How about can you have
a rocky boymen that list?

Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
You lost everything? But can I make a case?

Speaker 8 (01:25:04):
Can I make a case for an because I was like,
they don't want to play a game, They're taking their
ball and going home. Which look, let me start the
argument by saying, I think if at this stage in
your life you play football, you're a football player. That's
what you should do. You should play football, right, they
should you should want to play in that game. But
I'm saying the times have changed. Okay that that you know,

(01:25:26):
all the all the conversation at that we have at
ESPN the entire year is who's going to make the
playoffs in August. It's about who's gonna make a playoff.
Do we ever talk about, boy, who's tracking to make
the Liberty Bowl this year? No, it's never the conversation.
So the fans, the players, and the media have all

(01:25:48):
basically said, well, the bulls don't don't mean that much.
So if the players say, say, okay, well you're telling
us it don't matter much, then why does it matter
if we.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Don't play in it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah. And let
me tell you this example. So this just shows how
far things have come.

Speaker 8 (01:26:05):
College football is transactional now with the with the players
and the teams and everything. In two thousand, okay, we
were fighting for a Fiesta Bowl bid, in which we got. Okay,
we got blown out by Oregon State and Chad Johnson,
but that's another story. But we we we went to
that game, the Fiesta Bowl, and we got like five
hundred dollars in swag.

Speaker 2 (01:26:27):
Okay, we got like some bow's headfield.

Speaker 8 (01:26:28):
You would have thought we died and went that, oh
my god, we're gonna get like five hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:26:32):
These kids are getting paid tens of thousands a week.
Does four hundred dollars in swag?

Speaker 6 (01:26:37):
Move?

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
These kids?

Speaker 1 (01:26:38):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:26:39):
And the players, So you're telling us that with all
the discussion of college football that the only thing that
matters is a college football playoff?

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
Correct?

Speaker 8 (01:26:46):
And you're you're talking about everything is transactional and what's
in it for me? And now all of a sudden,
the kids should just play this game for the love.
Here's an example. Here's an example if after this season
in the NFL they had a an exhibition game between
the Bengals and the Titans, and he told the players, well, players,

(01:27:06):
you're not gonna you're not gonna get paid for this,
but for you love football, I love go out there
and play for the players wouldn't want to play in it.
The fans would be like, well, why would we get
our kids, our guys hurt for next year? At first,
some of it doesn't mean anything. We can't win anything.
Does that make any sense anything? I just said, no,
it makes no sense.

Speaker 2 (01:27:23):
Of course, the athletic director notre Dame Babbaqua. I love
the name Babbaqua because in the subject then they used
to play for the Reds Deserve. I had some baclava
Alex John Tefilu's house. That's a different issue.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
But according to Notre Dame made he said, we have
permanent damage inflicted upon our relationship, have been.

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
Wronged and until we are made right, how do you
make it right?

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
Because James and Holly and Polly and Holly Madison are
making the case, and she's in She's in it too,
isn't she? And what about two Lane the Green Wave?
What if the Green Wave played Texas? What would happen
to the Green Wave be playing Oregon?

Speaker 8 (01:28:00):
It'd be a ripple seventy points again, Now, James Madison,
I've covered them that they are a really, really good team,
but they're not They're not going to beat Oregon.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
What about what about and their coaches? He's going to
u c l as. You didn't answer my question. What
is the question? Who had the worst weekend? Rocky Boy.

Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
Little Rocks or Bill Belichick or you know, or Rocky boyman.
I think maybe Zach Shula had a bad weekend.

Speaker 8 (01:28:31):
But by the way that that first the first half
of that. Well, the whole game was just a great game,
not for you know, for the Bengals, but the first half.
I don't know if I've ever seen better quarterback play
in the first half. That was thross guys are making.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
But the catches, yes, and they lost going they lost.
What's his status? Has he heard? Does he have a
if I someone wouldn't play anymore? Hell would?

Speaker 8 (01:28:56):
Here's here's another since I'm on a roll here there
unpopular app Go ahead. If you're t Higgins, okay, and
and you you know, if you have a head injury,
then maybe you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Should stay out.

Speaker 8 (01:29:07):
But if you don't, or you want to act like
you don't, don't every time you make a catch, come
up holding your head, because what.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Do you want to do? Do you want to stay
in the game.

Speaker 8 (01:29:14):
Because if you want to stay in the game, they're
gonna look at it and say, I don't know, he
got wrong. So you either come out or you play
as if you play through it and you don't act
like you're hurt, and you're not gonna on my head,
my head again, I do that big question.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Unpopular opinion. Zack Sual is fired.

Speaker 1 (01:29:31):
You got one year remaining there since Bill Belichick and
Jordan Hudson, No, John Gruden.

Speaker 2 (01:29:37):
Who do you pick? Jordan Hudson, Bill Belichick?

Speaker 8 (01:29:41):
What doesn't matter because he's going to be the coach
that Bengals here.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
He signed through.

Speaker 8 (01:29:45):
I don't think he was the bank. I don't think
he's the main part of the problem. Look the thing
what what what lost yesterday? The same thing that's lost
games the entire season. A defense that doesn't have enough
playmakers and apparently doesn't understand Maybe the didn't hear a
week Hey, Josh Allen, he.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Has seventy five career rushing touchdowns. Keeping eye.

Speaker 8 (01:30:06):
You gotta keep integrity in your in your rush lanes.
But Washington get way up field and opened up huge
gaps right up the middle because he runs vertical. I
imagine that was told during the week, but they didn't
execute it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
How's that possible? What kind of what kind of weekend
did West have at Miller time? What do you think
about that?

Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
I don't think he went to Dana Gardens, Richard Fatina.

Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
I got a call from a bartender again Dan right now,
right he walks in and picks up the tab for
everybody he drink, and he had tequila shots and they
threw the glass on the floor and stopped on it.
That's my Richard has bathed in the deep blue waters
ob Savier basketball right now because of this one year
rental making a million dollars and guess what it was

(01:30:49):
worth it? Segment get me into the stuture point. But
will he the stooge reporters of proud service, every local
teme star he did get their conditioning dealers time star
quality you can feel in beautiful Milford the home of
one main gallery called Baker Heating at five one three
eight three one fifty one twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
How about her know you're getting his car popped? How
about the repo man Rocks? Jason and I are talking
about that at four o'clock. He didn't.

Speaker 8 (01:31:17):
I mean, this guy's in charge of making major financial
decisions for the city. Correct, Correct, he's not making good
financial decisions.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
How about that eight this's worse for that Cincinnati mayor. No,
your role is shuts them.

Speaker 1 (01:31:32):
Out, play it, pay your car payment, make your car paying.
What about the eight and a half million dollars settlement?

Speaker 9 (01:31:38):
Rock?

Speaker 8 (01:31:39):
I've never I've never, I've never had a car repossessed before.
I understand that they don't just like randomly come out
and take your car. They call you, they send you mail,
they like do everything in the world before they take me.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
A guy named after Pureval? Can we locate him anywhere?
We don't know where he is?

Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
Where is he?

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
And then the second one was a month ago Lincoln Aviator,
Pop did you see the order? I'll share it with you.

Speaker 2 (01:32:03):
No, I did. What do you think on Twitter? Because
you said it to me? I think I did. I
said to Jordan Hudson, stuff too.

Speaker 8 (01:32:09):
Well, that that's every day sag every day. I guess
the story to you or I say four story is correct?
How about Jordan Hudson?

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
What about the uh daughter in law of Bill Belichick
lighting up Jordan Hudson. That was over Thanksgiving?

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
Right? I love that?

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
Yeah, Thanksgiving.

Speaker 8 (01:32:24):
They're saying, look, honey, you know you're affecting all of
our lives now because my husband is now going to
be coaching linebackers at Takes Creek High School. Because your
husband can't give his mind off of something and go
coach football. It's affecting myself or my husband. That's what
she's saying.

Speaker 2 (01:32:41):
About another stabbing victim on Charlotte here's the guy stabbing.
People say, get me in rock, I have a pipe
bomb guy. What about that guy about that? Couldn't find him?
I couldn't find him. No, but now Trump found him
and it's Trump's fault, right, Trump's fault. I think Trump
over college football?

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
Did I send you that meme about Trump driving the
toe truck hooked onto ap TAB Purrivals car pulling away
from Aptab's home.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
I got to send you that one.

Speaker 1 (01:33:06):
What about your main Burton? About your guy, your guy
Trey Hendrickson? About him he got suspended?

Speaker 2 (01:33:11):
I didn't forgot he was still on the team. Suspended
from what not playing? You're suspended from not playing? He
wasn't playing anyway, was he? But if he's suspending, can
you recoup some of his money?

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
How much a paycheck does he get? Thirty fifty fifty
game and he doesn't play? He suspended from not playing?

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
Okay? Make it makes sense?

Speaker 1 (01:33:33):
And what about Trey Henderson? When's he ever gonna play?
He gets thirty mil? When's he playing?

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
I don't know. He's Bengals up there?

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
Will he brought you by good spirits, winded Tobacco and
party town. I hope they're open twenty four to seven.
Let's see the Bengals lose it yesterday. They're four and
nine more tonight on Bengals line. Stay on that point.
I'm listening this morning to your friends in ESPN. If
the Steelers tie two of their next four games and
the Bengals sweep, they're in. And you know what I'm saying,

(01:34:01):
what do the Bengals have four wins four to nine,
four games left?

Speaker 8 (01:34:06):
If the stud the Bengals with four wins in like
mid December can make the playoffs?

Speaker 2 (01:34:12):
Yes, I don't think so. There's less than what. But
can the Steelers tie two games? Is it possible? You
you had the Bengals time two games last Year's all right?
I was having her half right, thank you, thank you,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:34:25):
Cincinnati Bearcats are going to face number twenty two Navy
and the Liberty Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:34:30):
I'm knowing that game on radio. By the way, who's Friday,
January second? As you see, Navy's good. You see they
number one nation in rushing ball.

Speaker 8 (01:34:38):
Games all come down to who is the more motivating.
Navy wants to be The Navy will be there because
they are. Soldier doesn't want to be there. I don't
know the Navy.

Speaker 2 (01:34:46):
Scot Let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
Miami RedHawks are going to take on Fresno State in
the Snoop Dog Arizona Bowl Again, what about you? Saturday,
December twenty seventh, Signetti, the head coach of Indiana, could
coach the UC Bearcats. But my cousin John Cunningham said
he wasn't ready two years ago. Three years ago when
former former Bearcat and Buckeye's assistant Carry Cole about this one,

(01:35:09):
I texted him.

Speaker 2 (01:35:10):
Has been hired as by Michigan as their special teams.
Court has a sense of humor.

Speaker 1 (01:35:15):
He goes from the Union of the Confederacy. Cray Carroll
is the Big East player of the week points against
UC Dan Carroll. Is that the same guy? Carol EXAVIORLKP
Top twenty five, Arizona's new number one, Michigan two, Duke three,
Purdue is six, Neville's eleventh. Kentucky and Indiana both out

(01:35:38):
of the top twenty five for the first times in
the eighteen hundreds. The Miami RedHawks and Travis Steel at
eight to zero. They got two votes. Look out for
the Hawks rock Can you see Signetti coaching the UC Bearcats?
But John Cunningham said he wasn't ready.

Speaker 8 (01:35:54):
Look, I don't think even Indiana could have predicted how
well that guy was going to do coveredy when he
was at JMU. The thing he had, and I argued
this last week, is he has every place he's been,
every place he's been, he has a culture of winning.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
He has a resume of winning.

Speaker 8 (01:36:14):
If it's Division like two, Division two schools, jam, everywhere
he's been, he's won.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
Instead of no, everybody's going thirty thirty one years old.

Speaker 8 (01:36:25):
Sounds like somebody in Oxford exactly. Chuck Martin team should
get smart and wins. He just wins, that's it. It
didn't win last year.

Speaker 1 (01:36:35):
My brother John Cunningham, I got a guy named Kurt
Signetti from JMU that I never heard of, or Scott
Solderfield from Louisville.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
Who do we pick?

Speaker 8 (01:36:45):
I think I think the fan base, especially now with
Twitter where you can actually hear from from fans. I
think that that sways decisions a lot of major decisions
in any realm, but certainly when it comes to hiring
a head coach. If who's a school that lost the coach,
if Ole miss it hired Chuck Martin, which actually might

(01:37:08):
have been like, in my opinion, you could do a
lot worse than that, right right, we actually good.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
But all the band base coach they would lose their minds.
So you couldn't do that.

Speaker 8 (01:37:16):
As an athleticerer, you couldn't do that. You take an
athletic director with a lot of you know, a little
personal uh, you know fortitude. I guess you could say
you had a bad weekend, just admitted you had a
bad it was. The Bombers will be back though, there
always are going back, just like the.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
Park will arise again. Not sure when at the park,
you gotta find some more nil and then they got
it will arise again from the NBA Africa League. When
that happens, I'll let you know, say get me out here,
you will give me a j M. You I mean,
I thought George Washington, John Adams, Madison Monroe. I thought
they were you know, founding fathers. Didn't know they were

(01:37:54):
like a football team. So you got those guys.

Speaker 10 (01:37:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
Harrisonburg, Virginia. It's a beautiful campus. I've called games there.
It's great, great program. James Madison University. Yes, her fans
showed up to the games and cheer. It's great. They like,
how will they do it? Oregon?

Speaker 8 (01:38:09):
They're they're coaching now. Bob Chesney is going to UCLA,
though that one doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
I like him a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:38:15):
Is he in related to Kenny Chesney? Is that the
same is a step brother stepbrother? And then the guy
at Xavier is Dan Carroll's son. Is that what you're saying?
You said that I didn't give me out of stood
Willy on a crazy Monday after a wild weekend. Ain't
that's the truth?

Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
We leave you with the immortal words of the stud report.
Thank you, thank you very much. Hey, we get Rob Butcher.
Thank you. On seven hundred WLW. Listening to a man's
skinny dipping a pond isn't funny. Listening to him as

(01:38:52):
he discovers the pond is full of snapping turtles is funny.
Eddie and Rocky are also funny.

Speaker 5 (01:39:02):
So when you think of a man getting his bits
gnawed by a snapper, think of Eddy and Rocky.

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
Eddie and Rocky. This afternoon at three on seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 1 (01:39:15):
You know the Crib of the Nativity sponsored by John
Barrett at Western and Southern. It is a tradition like
none other for the last eighty seven years, and the
crib will be dedicated today, December the eighth, at four pm.
The Crib of the Nativity display will be open to
visitors like you daily between nine am and nine pm
starting today through January the fourth. Located in Eden Park

(01:39:35):
next to the Crown Conservatory, the Crib of the Nativity
is the recreation of the scene at the very first Christmas.
Donations left in the box at the crib are matched
by Western and Southern and John Barrett's Financial Fund and
given to the Salvation Army last year. Last year's donation
total almost one hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars. Western
and Southern's Crib of Nativity is the company's holiday gift

(01:39:55):
to the people at Greater Cincinnati. Bring people together to
