Speaker 1 (00:07):
Bill cunning in the Great America. Welcome to Spotty acting
in the tri Stay.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
What a weekend in River City.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Number one, We've got Joe Burrow likely playing quarterback against
the Patriots on Sunday. Tonight we got Elder versus the
Bombers of Saint Action. I would note that Rocky Boyman
once again took down the outer flag in my studio
and walked on it and then left. He's somewhere in
Alabama right now, but I'm supporting Elder one thousand percent.
Plus Tonight got the Louisville Cardinals playing the UC Bearcats

(00:36):
downtown at the Heritage Bank Center. Plus go all the
other stuff going on, including Saturday UC football. So it
doesn't get much better than that. Joining you and I
now is Speaker of the House, Matt Huffman. He's the
most powerful speaker since vern Rife. Vern Rife because Matt
Huffman was the President of the Senate and then he
did that for a while and guess what, now he's

(00:58):
a Speaker of the House. So, mister Speaker Matt Huffman,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Matt, first of all,
can you describe maybe in one or two paragraphs. What
the legislature has done with HEMP, marijuana, CBD, and THC.
Because it takes a degree in Chinese calculus to figure
out what you guys did late in the morning a
couple of days ago.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
What is the status as we speak.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Now, Well, we have the Houses approved a bill that
we've been working on all year, and that this came
out of a conference committee, Republican Senators and Reps voting
for that.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
We approve that.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I'm nearly certain that the Senate will approve that here
in a few weeks. But it does the number of things.
I think some of the things that people immediately want
to know is that there's a number of public safety things.
So this prohibits public smoking and intoxication from marijuana. We're
going to prohibit marijuana products from using packaging or advertising

(01:58):
to attract children, which some of these folks are actually doing.
Any ads have to be at all, have to be
five hundred feet away from schools. We're clear enough the
OBI prohibitions reducing the potency levels in marijuana, and so
those are all the And by the way, employers can

(02:19):
continue to prohibit marijuana at their own place that they
want to just landlords, employers, just like they would with
smoking or any other thing. So that's the public safety
part of it. We or at least through the end
of twenty six, will continue to allow beverages that have
THHC in it. And the reason we're doing that is

(02:42):
the federal government. As we went through this, the Feds
are always well, what are they doing? Right and kind
of right as we were coming to conclusions, they changed
the laws. So they allowed this really through November and
or prohibited it, and we think that they're going to
allow it. The folks who are manufacturing these beverages, and

(03:03):
some of them are you know, the same people who
are brewing beer and wine and things like that, will
continue to be allowed to do that all the way
through the end of twenty six. Will have to see
what the Feds are going to do. They have their
own timeline by the middle of November next year, so
that's you know, somewhat in the air, if you will.
But we've maintained the current the tax rate of ten percent.

(03:28):
What a lot of people are most interested in is
the thirty six percent of revenue from the marijuana excise tax,
which has been accumulating since the sale will now be
distributed to those communities that have dispensaries, so a lot
of local communities. There's about one hundred million dollars in
that fund right now, so a lot of money going
to local communities. And there is some relief for people

(03:50):
who previously had been convicted of a minor marijuana fence
in the past. There'll be an expungement of that. They
have to go in a plu with the court. A
number of other things in here, of course, but I
think those are the highlights.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Matt Huffman, speaker, The Ivory Towers and Columbus are different
than the mean streets of Loveland. I found myself last
night with the People's Judge and a few other couples
walking around Loveland, which, by the way, you went to
UC you' law school understand that it's a beautiful community.
I can't tell you how many how much smoking marijuana
I smelt in downtown Loveland. When I go to Washington Park,

(04:29):
where my family have deep roots, every day there's large
numbers of people using drugs and smoking pot openly. So
it's one thing to say, as a speaker of the house,
we're gonna we're gonna bar smoking marijuana in public.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
In reality, it's happening all the time. And I would
assume in Ohio State and Columbus. I bet you can
walk around Columbus and people are smoking pot and nothing's happening.
So how can there be such a disparity.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Why, Well, even in the great city of Lima, that
is happening. And when I was an opening day with
my grandson, they're walking through Fountain Square and there are
people smoking marijuana. The reason why they're doing it right
now is because it's legal. Nope, the initiative that was
put on by the marijuana industry in November of twenty
three in past didn't prohibit the use of smoking marijuana

(05:18):
in public. This bill does, and so now people will
be fine, ticketed, they'll be guilty of violating the law.
We also cleaned up the OVI statutes and you know,
can't smoke your marijuana in your car and all of that.
So there'll probably be a little up. People have to

(05:40):
figure out here real quickly that hey, I've been smoking
marijuana for two years, what do you mean I'm not
allowed to do that. Well, we've changed the law and
here's a ticket if you do it again, and all
that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Enforce the law, because in Cincinnati, they're not going to
enforce that law. They're not Mayri Afta Pureval has told
the police he didn't want to see marijuana convictions.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
He don't want that.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
And so you can say one thing, but what do
you do if the mayor and the police don't enforce
the law.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Well, if you've got a mayor who won't enforce the law,
who's taken an oath to faithfully execute the laws of
the United State Constitution. In the state of Ohio, you
got a mayor who's violating the law, and the voters
need to make a decision about that.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
He got eighty three percent of the vote.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
If I get that, I get that. But a guy
who looks at everybody and says I'm not going to
follow the law, I'm not sure how much longer you
can be mayor.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
If you're saying that, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I would assume he might get eighty five percent of
the vote the next time. Nonetheless, maybe you can pass
the law, but you know, if the lawmakers don't, if
the enforcers don't want to do it, that's a different issue.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Real estate taxes.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Tell me what you did about lowering real estate taxes,
which is a big issue here in Hamlet County.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, so we passed we had passed one bill or
several provisions in the budget, and Governor de wine Vita
some of those we have overridden one of those vetos.
The others we don't have to address because they've now
been been through the Governor's Discovery Committee there he wanted
to think about it a little bit longer, and basically

(07:20):
that that commission recommended that we do the things the
governor vetoed.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
So we're happy about that.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
So there are four bills passed, and you know, one
of those, I think the most important of those is
the cap on inflate inflation. If what we have right
now bill is a series of folks who they're retired,

(07:46):
their incomes steady because they're on pension or Social Security.
They lived in the same house for forty years and
they're getting a twenty or fifty percent increase and all
of a sudden, it's like, well, how am I going
to pay that? And so there are inflation caps on
how much real estate taxes will go up. So that's
the cap. Also on the inside millage increase to inflation.

(08:09):
This is going to save about seven hundred million dollars
in property tax relief.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Over three years.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Okay, so that's very important part of it. We have
one of the things that happened with it local entities,
school districts, in particular, the twenty mil floor and what
you collect that determines how much money you get from
the state. Well, we are now going to count the emergency,
the renewal, the replacement, all of those things which are

(08:37):
very confusing to voters, count towards the twenty mil floor
to show how much money you really have, including income
tax levies, so it's clearer how wealthy a local school
district is. I think the most important part of this
is that we have now empowered your local budget commission
to reduce the amount of money that is being taken

(09:00):
from taxpayers. If a levee that goes on is collecting
more money than the levee was intended to collect. Because
right now it's like we're gonna put on this for
three years, we're gonna collect five million dollars and we
collected ten million dollars. Well, the antity's just keeping the money.
But your local budget Commission, which is made up of
your auditor and your treasurer and prosecuting attorney. In most cases,

(09:25):
those elected officials are going to have to make those decisions.
You know, we all want our local governments to be
properly funded, but they shouldn't be taking more money than
what they need and what was intended. So those are
those are kind of the highlights. But we have a
you know, on our website in the House and you
can go through and see these in detail.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Lastly, there's a headline out of Columbus Ohio Conservatives that
means you vote to change what students learn in the classroom.
The cultural wars are coming to Ohio. A lot of
Democrats are unhappy about this, but according to media accounts,
as the Speaker of the House, if you passed several
bills a couple of days ago that could order how
students learn from fetal development all the way through Christian

(10:07):
influence on history. Democrats say the changes are culture war
distractions from the needs of average Ohioans. Is it is
ridiculous how little public school kids, in private school kids
know about americanustory, Ohio history. They don't know where we
came from, they don't know the principles of the founding
of the country. What did you do to instruct public
schools what they have to teach, which the Democrats are

(10:29):
angry about.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Well, there are two things. One is, there is a
bill spent sponsored by Melanie Miller, State rep out of
Madina County, who basically it's we would like the students
to see how a human fetus develops during pregnancy. Now,
you know, if I think that's an important thing, and

(10:54):
I think that if people see that, they may have
different ideas about whether to go through with an abortion
or not. And I understand there's a constitutional amendment that
allows that in almost every circumstance. But more knowledge, more
understanding about something is always good, and people who don't
want kids to see that really need to question what

(11:18):
is it that? What is it We don't want people
to know more, We don't want people to see things.
That's ridiculous, right. The second bill that they're angry about
is a bill that doesn't require, but encourages and allows
the teaching of the history of religion in the United States,

(11:39):
including Christianity, but not just Christianity, because that's not we're
largely a Judeo Christian country. We have a lot of
other religions, and a lot of that is teaching about
religious persecution. It's also teaching about the fact that our
founding fathers, as it says in our founding documents, we're
relying on the providence of God in making sure that

(12:00):
our endeavors go forward. But teaching religion has an important
bedrock in our society, in our American society. People who
want a white religion out of the public square correct
have a very poor understanding of why it is we're
all standing here and why this is, you know, the

(12:21):
most successful and greatest country in the world. It is
a bedrock or religion. And by the way, if you're
an atheist, you don't have to believe all that stuff
if you want, in fact, you can look at your
the teacher and say, I don't want.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
My kid listening to that.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
So it's it's it's only a culture war because someone's
calling it a culture war. These are things that we
all know and believe in, and so you know that's
it gets a headline. That's one reason why I've said.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Now, human life begins a conception, and you can't change biology.
And it's not a collection of cells, it's a human being.
I love the presentation of Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana,
and when they had some pro abortion doctors, they are
talking about some aspect of the human life, and he
held up a photo, a picture of a ten week
old baby, ten week old fetus with a beating heart

(13:12):
and brain activities and human organs, and ask, how do
you exact this ten week old fetus from a human body.
And it's dismemberment of a baby, which ought to be illegal,
however it's now acceptable. And many young women believe, I
don't know what a fetus is. It's not a human being.
But take a look at picture of this fetus and
tell me this is not a human being. Then also,

(13:33):
House Billed four eighty six would encourage public schools to
teach the positive historical impact of Jeneo Christian values and
the freedoms and liberties and grained in American culture. It's
called the Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act. And the Left
is in the business now of smearing Charlie Kirk, calling
him a racist and all that kind of stuff. But
to teach kids about how America was formed by the

(13:54):
Geneo Christian principles, why it was formed why the thirteen
colonies who were separate state steparate got together as the
United States. How we develop is a culture, what it means,
and the fact that human life begins a conception, And
if anyone has a doubt, take a picture of a
fetus that's about six weeks old.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
And tell me that's not a human being.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
But the culture today tells us that Charlie Kirk is
a racist, Charlie Kirk is a Nazi. And by the way,
life doesn't really begin until the baby exit the body
of a woman. It is a woman that has a
baby and not a man, by the way, and that
somehow our culture devalues human life. There's a million abortions
every year of babies that are killed in the womb
by dismemberment. Described that, and then public schools teaching on

(14:37):
American history is not a bad thing. It's a good thing.
You know what I'm saying, mister speaker. You got me
all fired up right now?

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Well yeah, well, look, I wish I could be as
eloquent as Bill Cunningham. I never will be, but that's okay. Look,
one of the things about the Jugeneo Christian tradition is
that it's tolerant of other religions. Muslims in the United
States have more freedoms than they do in most Muslim countries. Okay,

(15:07):
a lot of other classes of individuals, people in different communities.
They wouldn't be tolerated in other countries that are dominated
by the Muslim religion. But in the United States. That's
why it's a great country. Everybody gets to do what
they want. And you know, with the passage of this
constitutional amendment in Ohio essentially allowing abortion almost at any time,

(15:34):
what we have to do, those of us in the
pro life movement have to do things to win the
hearts and minds of people that are contemplating this. And
part of this is winning the mind of someone who
may someday contemplate abortion. If someone has an unwanted pregnancy,

(15:54):
sometimes there's people encouraging them to get abortions because they
don't want embarrassment. They may remember this video that they
saw when they were a sophomore in high school to say,
let me think about that and so and you know,
so people who don't want the public educated simply don't
you know, aren't interested in talking about the truth. We

(16:16):
know what's in the Constitution, that's the truth. And we
know that we have to have other ways of winning
hearts and minds, and this is one way.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Speaker, Matt Hoffman, you work on the shoes of vern Riife,
the most powerful speaker of all time. And mothers should
not kill their babies, and we're going to only be
blessed politically. I guess Ryan's not going to run for
the governor's spot. I think Amy Acton is going to
be the obvious person to run, and she's lied about
her background, so you're going to wrap her arms around

(16:44):
Ohio and it just hug us to death with the
COVID restrictions. I think favek Ramaswami would be blessed to
run against Amy Actin. That's a different story. But once again,
mister speaker, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
And we're reporting back to the American people what's happening
in Columbus. Thank you, Matt. Thanks Bill, God bless America.
Let's continue with more mothers. Do not kill your babies,

(17:06):
do not dismember your babies. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven
hundred WW all right, Dave Keaton, hit the music, Please
hit the music. What a big weekend in the Tri State.
This is why we are better, This is why we
are unique. Tonight, of course, is the Louisville Cardinals teeing
it up against the UC Bearcats average Bank Arena. Also,

(17:30):
he may know tonight there's a little football game at
pay Corps with Elder versus Saint X. I would point
the story and must be told as to how this
came about. Beginning on Monday morning. I get here about
ten thirty am every day to prepare and Brian Combs
walks out of the newsroom and says, I can't believe

(17:51):
that none of the elder students can even get a
ticket of the game. I said, wait, talking about He said, well,
the OHSAA put the game in Mason to benefit the
Mason Highschool girls wrestling team. I wasn't sure that was
a thing, but that's another story. We'll talk about that
later on. And I said, what what happened? He said, well,
they have it at Mason High School and now all

(18:11):
the tickets are gone in the first hour or two.
The students at Elder and Saint X are still in school.
They can't even get tickets. I said, you got to
be kidding me. So I came into the studio and
I and I called Denise Treehouse, chair of the Hamlet
County Board of County Commissioners, who is very receptive. On
my call, she's she texted back, saym in a meeting, Willie,

(18:33):
what's going on? I texted her saying, you know, Denise,
can we get paid course stadium to host the game
on Friday night between Elder and Saint X.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
She says, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (18:44):
I texted her back, okay, and then she said and
then she called me and said, let me call Katie
Blackburn Brown.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
I said, sounds good.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
I said, it's got to be done today because it
becomes Tuesday, Wednesday. Guess what Friday will be here in
a heartbeat, it won't happen. And all the Elder students
and the Dreehouses carried deeply about Elber and of course
Rocky Borman cares deeply about Saint X, and I care
about America. So conversations are head back and forth, back
and forth. I try to get her on at two
or three o'clock. She can't come on because she's working

(19:13):
on this plus other difficulties. Long in the short that
she texted me back and said we got it done,
I said, wonderful. Then she went on with Rocky in
eighty about four o'clock on Monday. It might have been Tuesday,
but whatever, And it's going to happen. And right now
they've sold I think about thirty thousand tickets and the
whole bottom bowl of the stadium is going to be filled.

(19:35):
And as a kid that played high school and college
baseball at Crosley Field, there's no greater thrill, as Adam
Matthews talked about when he went to Saint X of
walking into a major league facility as a high school
kid and playing a game, and with all due respect
to Knippert, which would be a fabulous arena for high
school football. There's something special about playing on the field

(19:57):
where the Bengals are playing Sunday against the That's a
big deal. And so that's how it developed. And of
course the Shakers and Movers here or Denise Treehouse and
the Katie Blackburn Brown OHSAA. And left to the side
is the girls Mason High School wrestling team. I'm told
by the Mason faithful that the girls there on the

(20:18):
wrestling team. I didn't think wrestling among girls in high
school was a big deal. Only wrestling I did in
high school was with Penny in the backseat of twin
drive in movie theaters. That's a different story. So I
guess it's a thing. And I've had on State Girls
Champion wrestling. I said, great, and so it's a thing.
So they took up the idea of having Mason High School,
which is going to host the big game between Saint

(20:40):
xan An Elder, and they were going to handle the security.
The concessions make a lot of money, and they need
money for mats, they need money for uniforms, need money
for whatever, girls need money for when they wrestle. So
now they're out in the dark. So I hope maybe
a city council and Mason can do something to help
the Mason High School girls wrestling team. For every action

(21:01):
is an equal reaction. The reaction is they're not happy
about losing the game and losing their funding for the
next year or two of girls wrestling. But I regress.
So the game is game is happening. Rocky Boyman sand
X's Finest Who's by the way, is in Alabama right now,
University of Alabama, Crimson Tide. He's going to do their
game on ESPN, I guess on Saturday. I have an

(21:24):
Elder flag that's been hung up in my studio for
three years. It was given to me by the Elder
Faithful John Kraft and the coach Ramsey and others for
my support of Elder. I've spoken to the boys before
and it's the one hundredth plaque says Willie's a panther.
So Rocky Boyman took it down and stepped on it
Wednesday Thursday, I should notify Elder the disrespect that X

(21:49):
shows toward Elder. Elder is my kind of school, hard working,
bright young kids exceeding greatly beyond expectations. When I went
to the game under the leadership of Father Anthony Browsch
and he's the chaplain for Elder High school also runs
the seminary Mount Saint Mary's and Beachmont Avenue, and I
walked around with him and there was the Moller Faithful

(22:09):
and then the Elder and Elder. It was the greatest
night of high school football ever. The weather, the circumstances
of packed house and watch Elder overachieve again and again
and again against Maller and sant X fills me with emotions.
I have difficulty expressing. So that's just one big event tonight,
along with the basketball game Louisville and you see than Tomars,

(22:30):
you see and bring him Young, Michael Jackson's favorite university,
Bring him Young is in town. Throw on top of that.
Sunday with the Ben Galleys, Throw on top of that.
Messi Messi perhaps the greatest soccer player of all time
next to Ronaldo, coming to Cincinnati on Sunday at five o'clock,
and later on we have Jeff Birding coming on to

(22:51):
talk about I can't imagine any city in America having
a bigger weekend many events going on than Cincinnati. Little Cincinnati,
Ohio has I'm proud. This makes me proud to be
a Cincinnatian, despite the efforts of politicians to ruin it.
So if you can't find something to do tonight, you
got something wrong in your life. Secondly, a couple issues.

(23:12):
I want to note again that Matt Huffman, the speaker,
is the most powerful speaker this side of vern Rife.
And they named the buildings after vern Rife. But Matt
Huffman knows where the bodies are buried. Speaking of that,
I have a report out of the BBC see I
cover world events, international events, interstellar events, local events, so

(23:32):
you don't have to. According to the story out of
the BBC, which I trust half the time, not the
Burbank Broadcasting Company, but rather the BBC in London. Another day,
another anti Christian attack by g hottist in Nigeria. Multiple
news agencies reported Friday Today that.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Monday and Tuesday, dozens of students.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Have been abducted by armed men from a Catholic school
in the center of the country. The BBC reports the
latest attack target at Saint Mary's School and Papira, Niger.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Saint Mary's School.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
I think of Hyde Park when I hear that, where
authorities had already ordered the temporary closure of all Catholic
and Christian schools due to rising security threats by Boca
Haram and other Islamic terrorists. Local media broadcaster Aris TV
said fifty two school kids were abducted at gunpoint. Their

(24:31):
teachers were brutally murdered in front of them. There were
seventeen girls thirty five boys. It's a secondary school serves
kids between the ages of twelve and seventeen. This is
one of many attacks on Christian and Catholic schools in Nigeria,
including one on Monday where twenty five schoolgirls were abducted

(24:54):
in nearby Kebby State in Nigeria. The school kidnappings and
attack on a church earlier this week cause President Donald
Trump to threaten military action over targeting of Nigeria's Christians.
Can you think of any place on Earth where Christians
and Catholics are obliterating Muslims are those of the Islamic faith.

(25:16):
And the girls are kidnapped, of course for sexual purposes,
to throw them into sexual slavery for the men of
these units. And the Nigerian government said is that we're
deeply said to hear this news. It goes on and
on and on. The exact number of abducted students this
year equal about two thousand. Two thousand have been abducted.

(25:37):
The teachers are shot in the back of the head,
their bodies are paraded through city streets. The boys and
the girls are kidnapped, the boys become soldiers. If they
don't convert to Islam, they're killed, and the girls are
thrown into sexual slavery until they're brutalized and murdered. This
is happening all over Africa. Nigeria is one example. There
are many others, and I don't know how we stop it.

(25:58):
I have no idea. I have no idea. The Pope,
the United Nations, Western Europe, the BBC, who wants to
have American forces go to Nigeria.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Nobody.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
This is true evil and it's wrong, and it's been
happening for a long time. Analyst and residents playing the
Nigerian lawlessness as a failure of government to defend its
own citizens and the rampant corruption within the government itself
that limits weapons supply to security forces while ensuring their
steady supply to the gangs. So inside the Nigerian government

(26:35):
they provide guns, money and intelligence to go. Where are
the churches? Where are the Catholic schools? Kill them all?
It's the message disgusting, disgusting and very sad, but it's
the way things are today. I also would note, I
know Glenn Beck is on this big time, but this
is out of Minnesota. There's a new fraud scandal and

(26:58):
making the Feeding our Future thing look like small potatoes.
Feeding our future is when Somali gangs and others in
Minnesota and elsewhere will gain the AEDB and the and
the credit and the and the snap benefits for personal
personal moneies, HS Health and Human Services, and Washington funded
something called the Housing stab Stabilization Service Program, and Minnesota

(27:24):
is drowning and fraud. This was a program put together
under Joe Biden in which it was thought that if
we provide money to the states to help seniors, addicts, disabled,
and the mentally ill secure housing. It was designed with
low barriers to entry, so you sign up and say, okay,
my son, my daughter, my wife, my husband is a

(27:46):
drug addict or an alcoholic or disabled, and then moneies
begin to flow to you as a person to get
your own housing. It began in twenty twenty one. The
program paid out twenty one million dollars in twenty twenty one.
Every year and is doubled in size every year, and
now the numbers up to two hundred and fifty million
dollars through Minnesota that we fund in order to provide

(28:10):
housing services for the mentally ill, to disabled, addicts and seniors.
Sounds like a good thing on paper, right, Well, the
Somali community in Minneapolis is ninety thousand strong, and you
can't get elected with those ninety thousand unless you toe
the company line. They have found a way to have
more and more of their children declared by some psychologists

(28:31):
to be mentally disabled or autistic, gross over diagnostic of
kids with autism, so they can funnel billions of Medicaid
dollars back to terrorist sales in Somalia and of course
Minnesota with Tim Waltz, he's a complete clown's not interested
whatsoever in curtailing the program because he gets his votes

(28:53):
out of the Somali community.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I read this story.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
We're talking about billions of dollars that the American taxpayer
funds Islamic gangs in Africa. I'm reading it and I said,
you've got to be kidding me. And of course Tim
Waltz's administration in Minnesota says, we're looking into the problem,
looking into it. So we Americans fund Islamic terror in

(29:20):
Nigeria and Somalia and elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
How's this possible?

Speaker 1 (29:26):
So I hope, against hope that somehow the Trump administration
can cut off the scams, the autism scams, and the
meals scams and the disability scams that gangs use to
fund their activities, not just in Somalia or Nigeria, but
also in America, fifty percent of the SNAP benefits go

(29:48):
to individuals who should not get them. A good chunk
about a million go to dead Americans and their cards
are being used by others along with other scams. How
can we survive if the American taxpayer is actually paying
for the organization of Islamic gangs who attack and kill

(30:09):
Christians and Catholics all over Africa and used by the
Somali gangs to fund l Shabab activities in the Horn
of Africa, and we're funding it all and there's no
interest by Democrats to change that whatsoever. In fact, they
want to keep paying the Somalis because that's how you
get elected to political office. You can't win in Minneapolis,

(30:31):
the largest city in Minnesota, unless you're back by the Somalis.
And to keep that going, we have to pay for
the rope to hang ourselves. We have to pay for
the rape and murder of children in Africa with our
tax dollars. All right, let's continue. I got many things
to get too, don't have a lot of time. But

(30:52):
it also appears that Democrats. Six Democrats have posted their
little videos pleading with American service personnel to commit treason
because Trump is president telling them do not follow unlawful orders.
The translation is, don't do whatever Trump does. That's constitutionally impermissive,
that's insane and so. And now they're being implicitly told

(31:14):
in the military that if you don't disobey civilian command
of military orders, when we get back in power, we're
going to decommission you as an officer. Country can't survive
like this. The Stage four TDS Trump Derangement Syndrome. Stage
four has said almost every element of the Democrat Party,

(31:36):
let's continue with more. Coming up next after two o'clock
will be the great Leland Vitter about his book Born Lucky,
and also some of these issues about how American military
personnel are being encouraged by Democrats to engage in insurrection
against the United States of America, and if you don't
do it when we get back in power, you will
lose rank. By the way, mothers, do not kill your babies.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Of course, big things happening in River City.

Burrow allegedly is going to play quarterback for the Bengals again.
Having broken his toe or injured his toe after about
nine weeks, is ready to play football again and once again.
Leland Vidder of News Nation, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.

(32:57):
And first of all, I see on Black Friday, there's
a big even as far as the twenty five percent
off your book Born Lucky. And for those who may
not be a word what we're discussing, can you tell
the American people, well, why you author the book Born
Lucky and how's it doing.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
Well? Bill?

Speaker 7 (33:13):
You're awfully nice to say this, and you were one
of the very first people to understand what Born Lucky
is about, which is my story of growing up with
autism and my dad adapting me to the world rather
than the world to me, and is you understood built?
And the reason Born Lucky has sort of hit this
nerve is because it's not an autism book. It's a
book about the power of parental love. It's about what

(33:35):
the power of great.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Parenting and what it can do.

Speaker 5 (33:37):
So this is hope.

Speaker 7 (33:40):
Born Lucky is hope for every parent of a kid
having a hard time, doesn't matter if it's autism or
ADHD or anxiety, difficulties, growing up, bullying. It is proof
of what parents can do, and it's why it's gotten
the reception it has.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
And then Amazon picked.

Speaker 7 (33:54):
It to be one of their Black Friday books, so
you can get it right now. Don't get in a
car accident while you're driving, but when you stop, either
go to born Lucky dot com or just type born
Lucky into Amazon and you can join this Born Lucky
journey that We've got tens of thousands of people already
on it bill and it's amazing. Every day now I'm
getting two, three four emails from people talking about how

(34:16):
this book has really changed their life.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Every now and then, we in this business do something positive.
I often think we create more turmoil, we don't bring peace.
And it's just the nature of the business and news
nation and what I do. And I mentioned you off
the air that this is one of those rare circumstances
for someone that you see in a box on the
wall that you really don't know that's you.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Leland Viddters have.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Actually reached in the hearts and souls of tens of
millions of Americans and said, to a parent especially, this
is not the end of the world. This is the beginning.
You cannot adopt the world to your son or daughter.
You must adopt in the sense your son or daughter
to the world. And I I can't imagine the heartfelt

(35:03):
feelings you must now experience knowing that you've done good
in other people's lives that you're never going to meet.

Speaker 7 (35:11):
It's been really meaningful, and you know, Bill, so meaningful.
Also to my father, who really didn't want to tell
this story. He'd never told anybody about my diagnom and
knows there's no therapists, no friends, no family. You knows
he suffered silently as so many did and do today,
as so many parents do. And I send him all
these letters every time I get a letter, I send

(35:32):
it to him, and you know, it's proof that shariness
and his struggle and his sacrifice was really worth it.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
All right, let's move on to the issues of the day.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
About three o'clock Eastern time today, allegedly the President's going
to have Mom Donnie, he calls the Kami in the
Oval office.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Would you like to be a fly on that wall?

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Well, I don't. People have to be a fly on
the wall.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
Bill.

Speaker 7 (35:54):
I think there are going to be cameras all over
the place because right now it's what they call closed press,
which means that the press doesn't get invited in. I
think that's gonna change.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
And that's just this is we know what's gonna happen.

Speaker 7 (36:08):
Right It's either gonna go one.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
Or two ways. Either it's gonna go.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
The Zelensky way, which I doubted.

Speaker 7 (36:12):
Or it's gonna go the the charming How great everybody?
You know, how everybody tells each other how great they are.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
We saw Mom Dami yesterday.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
Talk about how that he and Donald Trump won the
presidency for the same reason, which was affordability, and they
both have they both are generational talents when it comes
to politics.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
You know you're a partisan.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
I'm not, and that's fine, but it.

Speaker 7 (36:39):
Just, you know, I look at it from an analytical standpoint,
they're very similar. They're both extraordinarily charismatic politicians. They both
understand they're electorate. They both are very talented in front
of the cameras, and so to me, it's almost like
watching gonna be watching like too heavyweight boxers, kind of

(37:00):
shadow like, you know, kind of shadow box.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
It's going to be great, Well, it'll be it'll be
interesting because you have a great point. They are essentially
the different sides of the same coin. Affordability is often
caused by monetary policy and by forces beyond the ability
of a mayor or president to control. And I'm not
sure affordability is. It's a nice issue. I think policy,
especially by socialists and Democrats, caused the affordability crisis by

(37:25):
making like rent free apartments means there will be fewer
apartments built, which means the rent's going to go up,
not down, And by having government get involved in public housing.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
That's been a pretty bad idea.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
And affordability comes from all kinds of forces over which
the president and the mayor has has a little bit
of ability to change, but not a lot. I think
a mayor has no ability to change it except in
one direction, which is bad. A president has more ability
because of monetary policy, because of oil and gas and
nuclear power, that kind of stuff has more ability to change.
But nonetheless they can agree this is an affordability crisis,

(38:00):
but there's no resolution except maybe.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
In the president's hand.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
And secondly, according to the most recent quarterly estimates, inflation
won up about three percent annually. It's three point one.
But the American people, if you would ask the mar
there was one poll I saw Leland Vetter that said
the American people think inflations is about ten percent a year,
when really it's three percent. So the perception is not

(38:24):
the reality. A three percent annual inflation rates not a
big deal. It's it's one. It's the one point above
the two percent goal. But am I right to say
in your viewpoint that according to the statistics, inflation is
pretty good, but the perception is inflation's pretty bad?

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Are you asking if you're right to say that?

Speaker 2 (38:42):
I'm right in a sense? I am? I guess I'm
not sure.

Speaker 7 (38:46):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like I'm pretty right on this.
I will contend to you bill that you know, the
economy is not a conglomeration of statistics, right. It is
not the employment rate times real wage growth minus inflation
plus the cost of gas minus the pound of hamburger

(39:06):
times the increase in the price of coffee. It is
how people feel at the end of the week when
they go to.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
The grocery store.

Speaker 7 (39:14):
Do they have money leftover to take their kids to
the movies? Does McDonald's feel like a splurge? None of
these are captured in all of these statistics that everybody
likes to talk about with you know, Oh, well, GDP
growth is this, and wage growth is that. And you know,
I remember a president who did that. Okay, his name
was Joe Biden. It did not work out well.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
Okay, I remember a press. I remember a party.

Speaker 7 (39:40):
He said, well, the real problem is we're talking about
our wins enough. That was the Democratic Party.

Speaker 5 (39:45):
I had a congressman on.

Speaker 7 (39:46):
A couple of days ago and started talking about beef
prices with him.

Speaker 5 (39:49):
Beef is up fifteen percent, he says.

Speaker 7 (39:51):
You know what, he says, The real problem is there's
four beef packers in America.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
Two of them are four and owned.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
Is if that matters?

Speaker 7 (39:58):
And we need to go after the beef, and I
pulled up in real time. A press release from Joe
Biden in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
The problem with beef prices. There are four beef packers,
two of.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Them are foreign.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
Okay, No one wants to hear the excuses. They want
to feel better.

Speaker 7 (40:17):
And what Mandami basically said is I'm going to make
you feel better. Now he's figuring out the free stuff's
actually very expensive. But that's beside the point. This is
I've been saying, it's August. This is a problem for
Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
It may not be his fault, but it is his problem,
no question.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
And you can't have rents going down in New York City.
I think in my lifetime, except in the late nineteen seventies,
rents never went down in New York City. But you
can have rents going down by having less supply, and
you get less supply of apartments by having rent phrases
in which someone who wants to build apartment buildings cannot
have any kind of a return and they're vilified as

(40:55):
some sort of evil doer because they want to build
new apartments. I can't conceive of someone in New York
City building a brand new large apartment building. When you
have rent freezes, well you can't make a return. In fact,
you're guaranteed to go bankrupt. And so you bring about.

Speaker 5 (41:09):
They've got they have fifty thousand.

Speaker 7 (41:11):
Apartments right now in New York that are unoccupied because
they're effectively can damn they're slums, because the landlords can't
afford to put in the money to fix up the
apartments and make a return because wait for it, rent controls.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
In which the mayor lives in a rent control department.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Well, well, I mean in New York City, because of
its weather, you have a situation where it would cost
millions and millions of dollars to bring fifty thousand empty
apartments up to up to code with electrical plumbing, et cetera.
And fifty thousand empty apartments that need to be torn down.
You can't tear down either because of permitting. And so
this is a terrible problem and it's insoluble. I think

(41:56):
by politicians, I trust the laws of blind demand. I
would incentivize those who build apartment buildings in New York City,
like Tony Bender, I would incentivize him to build brand
new apartment building units not rent controlled but market forces,
and that would help solve the problem. I would predict
in four years, if Mom Donnie runs again, which I
expect he would, that the rent control situation is going

(42:18):
to be worse and to be fewer apartments. There'll be
one hundred thousand empty apartments because capitalism works. The laws
of supplying demand cannot be resented by by a mayor
or by a president. Now, secondly, Leland viiters to me,
this is the biggest non covered story, which is the
Biden administration in Arctic Frost appears to have snooped on
the phone records of all Republican US Senators five or six,

(42:43):
including Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, that the Biden administration, through
Jack Smith, conducted a operation against Republicans to get dirt
on US senators and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee
when he was in office, and Jordan said that Biden's
Justice Department secretly snooped on his phone records over a
two year period. Latest lawmaker known to have been targeted

(43:06):
by counsel Jack Smith as part of a sprawling investigation.
They spied on Trump, they spied on Senators, Now they
spied on me. Is this a why in the national
media this is not a bigger story When the Biden
administration is snooping on the phone records of sitting Republican
US senators and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, why

(43:27):
is that not a big story?

Speaker 7 (43:29):
Well, I think you answered your own question. Because the
chairman of the Judiciary Committee is a Republican and the
Senator is a Republican. I would say that the senator said.
Senators did not do themselves any favors when they put
a putt in a five hundred thousand hours payoff from
the US Treasury to themselves in the reopening of the government,
So it makes it hard for them to have the

(43:50):
moral high ground on this. How anybody thought that was
a good idea and thought they were going to sneak
it through is just still beyond me. But I digress.
What I would say is Republicans would be wise because
I think the mead you know, why is it not
a story? Story speaks to people who are already convinced.

(44:15):
The only people who are outraged about what is or
is not in the media is people who are already
on on one side or the other. What I don't
understand is why they don't just talk about the story.

Speaker 4 (44:26):
Why not just ask why did jacksmiths snoop snoop on us?

Speaker 8 (44:29):
Why?

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Okay? And what and and and what is the standard?

Speaker 5 (44:34):
And you know for that matter, Okay, go out and get.

Speaker 7 (44:36):
A bunch of warrants on Eric Swalwell's phone. And I
don't know who else's phone. You want to go, go
get Warrens on and then when people cry, you say, look,
you get it to us. The idea anymore in America
that our politicians act in the best censors of the
country rather than in party or their own power is

(44:58):
a bygone era.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
And that is that is just a sad fact. And
I it shudders to me.

Speaker 7 (45:07):
What is going to have to happen in America for
us to come back together?

Speaker 4 (45:11):
And I say that based on the video.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
That six Democrats put out for the.

Speaker 7 (45:16):
First time in my my knowledge in American history, beginning
to subvert or call.

Speaker 5 (45:23):
Into question the chain of command and civilians control.

Speaker 7 (45:27):
Of the military. It is a It is a terrible, terrible.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
Thing that is happening.

Speaker 7 (45:32):
And I and I would say, neither side is at
the point where they're willing to rise above it.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
In fact, East Side one one one of some ship
the other. And uh, to have these five five Democrats
having served in the military or in the CIA question
the civilian control of the military and somehow Uh, of
course they're simply stating the law that you don't have
to obey an illegal, unlawful order. But who makes that determination?

(45:59):
Normally it's not a private or corporal making some decision
whether or not to rebel against the president, the civilian
commander or the secretary of war. And to me, that's
where we are now. Lastly that on that similar issue,
I read the affidavit put together by Magistrate Judge David
Baker when the when the Democrats snooped on Republicans, and

(46:21):
it was issued by Judge David A. Baker, and she
forced Verizon, the cell phone provider of Jim Jordan and
these other Republican senators, to.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Keep quiet about the subpoena. So the lawyers of Verizon said,
we want cover on this.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
They talked to the lawyers for Jack Smith and said,
we want cover in case they discovered that someone is
snooping on their phone records. And so how about this
finding by the court quote, this is about us Republican
senators and Jim Jordan, Chairman of Judiciary Committee. The Court
finds reasonable grounds to believe that's such a disclosure will

(46:56):
result in flight from prosecution where the Republicans gonna flee
the country, or destruction or tampering with evidence which is
a crime, or intimidation of a potential witnesses, and serious
jeopardy of the investigation. So the federal court ordered for
Verizon not to tell the snoopees, who are Republican powerful

(47:18):
US senators. You can't tell them what Jack Smith is
doing because they may flee the country. What that was
in the affidavit signed by the federal judge ordering Verizon
not to tell the Republicans of the Senate that you're
being snooped on.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Isn't that ridiculous?

Speaker 5 (47:40):
I'm not going to pass judgment on it.

Speaker 7 (47:43):
I think what you said, though, lays out a situation where.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Again, the gravity of what.

Speaker 7 (47:55):
Is happening is not understood or appreciated by people are
doing it because they're blinded by their own political interests.
And again, you know, to me, it goes deeper than ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
And you know, we the best line I heard about.

Speaker 7 (48:16):
The six Democrats putting out that video was from a
guy named Elliott Ackerman who had on the show last night,
and he said, our politicians act as if we're playing
with monopoly money.

Speaker 6 (48:27):
Right.

Speaker 7 (48:28):
The reason the democracy, the reason the republic holds in
America is because we all believe in the same ideas.
We all sort of subscribe to the same rules. And
the democracy, the republic, the idea can only survive so

(48:48):
many cuts. It can only survive so many people not
playing by the rules. One of the rules, you don't snoop.
You don't use your political power to snoop and to
punish the other side. Right, you don't use the power
of the DOJ while you're in office to do that.
Another rule, you don't challenge the military chain of command

(49:11):
and civilian control of the government. You do not insert
into the minds of American soldiers. Oh, by the way,
your orders may be illegal. And if they and if
when we're in power, we deem they worry illegal, We're
coming back to get you, which is the subtext of
what that video was really about.

Speaker 4 (49:28):
You just don't do that, and that's what.

Speaker 5 (49:31):
Makes America different.

Speaker 7 (49:33):
Right, snooping on using the Justice Department to snoop on
your political enemies, as Democrats did in the Jack Smith investigation.
That's like what happens in Venezuela. That's what happens maybe
even in France or Canada or other places. It is
not what's happened in America. And the only reason it

(49:53):
doesn't happen in America is everybody agreed it didn't.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
Happen in America. And now that agreement is being.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Broken, that's out of the bag. I gotta run.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
Born Lucky dot Com and Amazon picked it out as
one of their best books of the year, and I
think it's great. And once again, Leland Vidder, I'll be
watching tonight on News Nation and thanks for coming on
the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Leland, Thanks them, God
bless you. Let's continue with more and Trump will go

What Chris collins Worth Sunday Night Football on NBC, he
will call his five hundredth National Football League game. That's

(01:00:42):
Tampa Bay at the LA Chargers. You know, we made
him what he is and he's ignored us completely. Is
that fair to say? I was going to say, if
it was an Eastern time zone, we might want to
call him.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Maybe we'll call him about a forty five minutes and
see if you accept though, if you'll reach down to
those who made his life possible and give us the
props that we deserve.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
I agree with that. No, I don't know what the
tie segment give me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Out of the Stude report, we have Jeff Burden coming
up live from Messiville in about fifteen minutes. Then I'm
gonna call, believe it or not, Chris collins Worth himself
at about forty five minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Willy, and we say Happy birthday today to one of
the greatest reds ever of all time. Ken Griffy Junior.

I have to look it up and it'll be fifty
or sixty.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
I so Happy birthday, Ken Griffy Junior. Let me ask,
Let me ask Syria, call Brian Goldberg. Where's he at?

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
How old is Ken Griffy Junior? She knows everything, says
do you want Brian Goldberg? Now hold on second?

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Sorry? How old is Ken Griffy Junior fifty six?

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Derek twenty first, nineteen sixty nine, segm man give me
out on studio, just did on seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
All right, now let's continue.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
This is one of the great weekends in the history
of Cincinnati when it comes to sports.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
So much going on.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Of course tonight is the Cardinals against the Bearcats at
the Heritage Bank Arena. And then also tonight's a little
game between Elder and Saint X and I'd say Rocky
Boyman and maybe Jeff Birdings showing disrespect to Elder, not
in his case, but in Rocky's case. He stepped on
the flag that Elder gave me two or three years ago,
Rocky Boyman did. Then you got UC Bearcat football against BYU.

(01:02:48):
Then you got the Bengals, Bengals and the Patriots going.
Then you got Messy at five o'clock on Sunday trying
to get a win against FC. Joining me now is
the President's CEO and chief bottlewasher of FC, that is
Jeff Birding and Jeff Birding welcome again to the Bill
Cunningham Show and Jeff. First of all, just in a
general way. This came together out of nowhere. I don't

(01:03:08):
think anybody saw all these events transpire. How unusual is
it in Cincinnati? Did these events going on? Including the midies,
including the Bluebirds all playing high school football Trotwood Anderson.
Isn't this special to be a Cincinnatian?

Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
It is. We love our sports and we love our
teams who represent us, and you know, it brings people together.
It makes it more fun to live here. And I'll
be down at pay Court tonight for Elder Saint X
and I.

Speaker 10 (01:03:35):
Got my Bengals season tickets and you know, and then yeah,
FC Cincinnati will take on the messy Mountain of Inner
Miami on Sunday at five.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Before we talk about MESSI and FC, there was a
proposal a few days ago from the city council to
buy a plot of land right by w C eighteen
forty eight. I know, you have a hope, maybe a plan,
maybe in the distance, build an arena there. We need
a brand new arena. Everyone says that is that part
of that plan or not?

Speaker 6 (01:04:06):
Not directly. What I would say, Bill, is, you know,
when I was on city council obviously fifteen plus years ago,
we took possession of the block at Fifth and Race,
and I thought, if we ever got controlled of the Millennium,
you could put an arena there, because at some point
we're going to need to replace the arena on the riverfront.

(01:04:26):
Put a hotel on top of it, tied into the
convention Center, and that'd be a great development. I left
city Council and the new group. That's where eighty four
fifty one is, and that's no longer a potential site
for an arena. And so I think what the mayor
and council and the Port Authority have done here is
to say, listen, this parcel the old Freestore food bank

(01:04:47):
that was offices that were abandoned a couple of years ago.
It's an empty building. There's going to be something great
that we're going to build on this site, tied into
the town Center garage. So now the public has full
control of the site. The arena study has said that
this is one of the best sites for a future arena.

(01:05:08):
It's not the only one. There's other options, but it
is one of them, and we need to preserve public
control so that some speculator done by the property and
then hold this community up for tens of millions of dollars,
which is what the experience was, as you know, with
the Millennium, and put it in a position where the
arena couldn't go there because someone is holding this community up.

(01:05:33):
So I think they showed good foresight to say, listen,
we just want to put the site under public control.
If it's an arena, fine, If it's not, it'll be
a residential or commercial development of some sort that capitalizes
on all the energy and success and over the line
and what we're doing up at our stadium. This is
a great site and we want to make sure the
public can control it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
So you and Carl Lender control that a large part
of those parcels, along with four hundred million dollars of
development happening as I speak. So is wouldn't you prefer
to have the brand new arena close to FC and TQL.

Speaker 6 (01:06:08):
To be fair, We're sure we would because you got
music Hall. We've invested in this community, probably close to
a billion dollars since we formed three CDC in two
thousand and three. Over the last twenty years, you could
offer that, you know, it's a pretty successful, vibrant entertainment
district that combines a lot of the heritage of Cincinnati

(01:06:30):
and the preserved architecture of Cincinnati's founding with a lot
of really great new things that we're building up around it.
And so you could offer this would be a very
dynamic site. And I think the arena study that the
Chamber of Commerce led concluded that this is a very
viable site where the town Center garage is. But to

(01:06:51):
be fair, there's a couple other opportunities that will be
evaluated and Phil Castellini and I and Phil has his
own vision about maybe keeping it on the existing side
if that could work. Where he and I one hundred
percent agree is this community needs to replace an obsolete
arena on the riverfront. Everyone who's listening knows that we
all get in our cars and we go to Indy

(01:07:12):
or Columbus or Lexington or Louisville to go to concerts,
to go to shows and people and people send me
the pictures of their experiences at the existing arena, and
it feels unsafe and it is very obsolete. And in
my opinion, that's what losing looks like. That's not what
winning looks like. And so we need to solve this,
and Phil and I agree, and so let's come up

(01:07:34):
with based on Steve leapers and work. Steve's been asked
by the city in the County three CDC to come
up with a plan on how we can fund a
new arena, some private, some public, and that work needs
to continue and we need to all be joining hands
to say that's the priority. How can we pay for

(01:07:55):
this and come up with a plan that people feel,
including everyone listening. Yeah, you know what, that seems pretty reasonable. Okay,
we get a new arena out of this, we don't
get to go. I have to get in our cars
and other people get in their cars and come to
Cincinnati again. That's winning. Then there will be a process
to decide where the arena should go, and then Bill
will assert his plan and we, with others the city

(01:08:18):
will assert ours. But that's premature. We shouldn't be debating
the site right now. We should be coming together to
say we need a plan that allows us to replace
a very obsolete arena on the riverfront.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
You know, that's like Masters of the Universe. On one hand,
you have the Castellinis, you have the banks, you have
the interest of cbd A downtown, the Central Business District
against the lenders and against the farmers, and against the
Birdings and against TQL. So you have on one site,
you get it on the banks. I know Jim Mooring

(01:08:52):
wants it there. Castellini's won it there. The Bengals want
it there. On the other hand, you have the lenders,
the farmers, the meg Whitman's, the TQLS, the Birdings wanted
up that way. This will be interesting to watch when
will be concluded. I want to see the Masters of
the Universe butt heads.

Speaker 6 (01:09:10):
I'd like to see for the next six months, we
come up with a Bible plan where there's public hearings,
public buy in, there will be government approvals, all of
that will need to say we can do this. Then
once that consensus has been established around the plan, again
with public hearings, then there will need to be a
process on okay, now, what's the best place to build it?

(01:09:33):
And I am confident that we'll come up with a
process and at the end of the day, Bill, I
know you know this. I'm a Cincinnati guy. I want
to see a new arena. If the best plan is
to put it on the riverfront, you know that's great.
We get a new arena. If the best is to
put it next door to over the Rhine and Music
Hall and all the great entertainment and history of Cincinnati

(01:09:55):
up in our neck of the woods, then that's great.
But at the end of the day, what I don't
want is that we continue to lose out as a
community because we have, among the top fifty cities in
this country the worst arena. How are we going to
bring the best talent, How are we going to bring
more jobs, more population? How are we going to be
winning as a community when such a visible thing our

(01:10:15):
arena is the worst of the top fifty cities in
the country. Again, I'm tired of losing. I want to
see us winning.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Though the new Duke Energy Center I supposed to open
in January, I believe there's no hotel attacks to it.
A little birdie told me that the Port Authority had
difficulty getting financing from the Maria Group's going to operate it.
But why is there not a big hotel opening along
with the convention center.

Speaker 6 (01:10:41):
Well, I think the short is is that this three
CDC has done excellent work advancing the convention center modernization work.
That plan came together quickly. It was much less money,
and we obviously went to work right away because we
don't have a functional convention center right now until the
work is done at the beginning part of twenty six.

(01:11:04):
The hotel much more complicated. You know, an eight seven
hundred and fifty eight hundred room hotel is much much
more expensive. There's some different financing pieces, some of the
pieces involved the state. These things are just a little
bit more challenging. My belief, Bill, is that we will
have an announcement again led by three CDC in our
you know, the city and the county here very soon

(01:11:26):
on the hotel, and then that construction work will commence.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
That's going to be years around years away.

Speaker 6 (01:11:32):
Probably at least twenty four months. Twenty four months is
I think what it will take. So if we could
get under way in early twenty six and you're talking
about opening in early twenty eight, well.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
The convention center can't rip and roar until there's an attached,
brand new hotel. It's just done work by itself. Now,
let's talk about soccer for a moment.

Speaker 6 (01:11:52):
What can I tell you, Bill, Sorry, real quick, but
you know what, once the cranes go up, you're telling groups,
you're recruiting these groups to come to your vention center
for big conventions a couple of years out. Anyway, once
the cranes go up, then you're showing a level of
confidence and certainty the groups you're recruiting to come here
and to bring their groups, and to bring the people
that are going to spend a lot of money. You

(01:12:13):
have something to sell them for two years down the
line anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:12:17):
Well, and then also, isn't it true that financing has
been a problem.

Speaker 6 (01:12:23):
I think there's a lot of these final details. I
would tell you. I think most of this deal, eighty
ninety percent of the deal has been done for some time,
and the final ten percent, as you know, is always
the hardest.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
All right, let's talk about MESSI six or seven years ago,
eight years ago, when I was with you and Gerber
the commission at UC campus, there was a dream. I
think the final vote on city Council was five to four,
could have gone the other way, could have been four
to five. If that went the other way, then we

(01:12:54):
wouldn't have a franchise. There wouldn't be a TQL, there
wouldn't be a convention center possibly there, there wouldn't be
five hundred million dollar development happening as I speak. When
you look back on that, do you kind of amuse
by the fact that at least four members of council
did not want to change zoning.

Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
Isn't that amazing?

Speaker 6 (01:13:12):
You know it is. But I'm not much of a
look back guy. At the end of the day, we
got it done. I'm focused on what do we still
need to build, what do we still need to achieve
as a community. At the end of the day, you know,
there were some people who maybe didn't quite see the
vision the way we saw it. I assure you that
can I've talked to a bunch of them. You know
they see it now and that's all that really matters

(01:13:35):
is people see that this has been a tremendous shot
in the arm for.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
Our community, and the Western Community Council is for it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
Talk to me about messy.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
Talk about that because this argument because you win, someone
has to lose, That's not true.

Speaker 6 (01:13:53):
No. Look, I went door to door in the West
End and listen and to hear what their concerns were.
We did are the first ever community benefits agreement. Because
to be fair, change had never been good for residents
of the West End. They had suffered from decades of
disinvestment in decline. I've said this. You know, I was
on City Council for six years. I don't recall a
single meeting where we even talked about the West End.

(01:14:13):
And so you know, we've delivered, we've and in return
we've earned their trust and we're good neighbors and they're
good neighbors to us, and it's been a great thing.
Our mixed use development, which was approved by the City
Planning Commission today unanimously, approved by the West End Community
Council unanimously, was approved in its first iteration largely still

(01:14:37):
the same by City Council unanimously. I mean, that's pretty
rare these days in politics.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Two winners, not a loser, and a winter.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Lastly, about Messy, if somebody could have told you five
or six years ago that MESSI would come to TQL
at five o'clock on Sunday and actually get beaten by FC,
you would not have believed it. It was impossible. He'd be
like you signing Ronaldo, which is still down the right,
I hope. Talk about the historical aspects of the greatest
of all time coming to the West End to play

(01:15:06):
soccer against your team.

Speaker 6 (01:15:07):
Talk about that, Well, the thing I would say is
people need to appreciate that soccer is the biggest sport
in the world. It's not in our country, of course,
football is in the history of baseball, but it is.
And this weekend, the biggest soccer game on the planet
is in Cincinnati at Tiquo Stadium, because the whole world
is watching to see if Cincinnati sends Messi and Miami home.

(01:15:32):
And you know, there's two legends of Barcelona, Sergio Busquets
and Jeordi Ava that have been playing with Messi these
last couple of years at Miami. They announced the retirement
at the end of the regular season, so this could
be their last game. And you know, we have fared
very well against Miami. We didn't lose to them this year.
We have it in our two games. We didn't even
concede a goal to them. We match up with them

(01:15:55):
pretty well. Obviously, they have some of the best players,
with Messi probably the goat. So it's going to be
a great environment. We still have a few tickets, but
ultimately it'll be sold out. It's going to be you know,
a lot of fireworks, a lot of music, some incredible
fan energy, and of course, Bill, world class soccer, no question.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
All right, give our best to the Lender family. They're
suffering and at this point your family like that needs
compliments and warmth, and they need a big thank you.
I could not imagine our communities without the Lender families
participating and giving so much over these decades. And once again,
Jeff Birding, it's a big weekend in sports. It's all
going to be five o'clock on Sunday at the end.

(01:16:32):
And may God bless you, and God bless the Lender
family and Jeff Birding, thank you, very.

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
Thank you so much, Bill, God bless you. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
Let's continue with more if a line becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine,
seven thousand. I don't know too many communities anywhere in
the world that has this lineup of activities, including the
Jonas Brothers. I know Jeff Birding is a great fan
of the Jonas Brothers. I think they're playing tonight. But
to have all this happening coming together is a testament
to all the kind of community that we can be

(01:17:01):
in the kind of community that we are. And I
could not imagine the Old West End not having these
developments the last five or six or seven years, it
was right down the crapper and at this point it's
win win, win every which way. And if you have time,
drive through Central Parkway, take a look at what's happening
adjacent to TQL Stadium. A four hundred million dollar investment,

(01:17:23):
and to have on one side of the ring the
Castellini's and Jim Mooring and the John Barretts and the
Procter and Gambles and the Bengals saying we want the
new indoor Stateium to be here. On the other side,
you have the lenders, you have Meg Whitman, you have
the farmers, you have the Jeff Birdings, had the TQL

(01:17:45):
saying no, we want it over here, and the masters
of the universe would decide what to do. Let's continue
with more and so much to do. When the trist
did over the next few days, I think, to an extent,
we criticize ourselves so much, but the world has his
eyes trained on Cincinnati this weekend, and I'm picking Elder
to kick ass tonight all on news radio seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 11 (01:18:07):
He's back with a three to one.

Speaker 9 (01:18:09):
Griphy swings there, it goes long five ball right there.
It is a Snumber six hundred for Ken Griffy Junior,
no doubt, or about halfway up in the lower deck
and right Ken Griffy Junior circling the basis as a
stand here at Dolphin Stadium. That's what they came to
see here tonight. And from the moment that left the bat,

(01:18:31):
absolutely no question where it was going to end up.
So Ken Griffy Junior ascends to a position that only
five others have gone before him, Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron Mabe,
Ruth Willie Mays, Sammy Sosa.

Speaker 11 (01:18:48):
And put Ken Griffy Jr. In that group right there
of those who in the great history of this game
of Major League Baseball have reached the six hundred home
run mark. With a tepnical Kedgriffy duringr hall run.

Speaker 9 (01:19:06):
Hello Pietos, I'm broadcasting.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
Today's his birthday. I think number fifty eight something like that.
Fifty six, I'm sorry, fifty sety six years young for
Murphy Junior. And segment another issue I want to bring
up with your permission, Yes, sir, and you and I
have our list of events happening tonight, tomorrow and Sunday
right there, correct, and we got we got the bets
made on a hot fut Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
Correct, there's action all over the place. I'm thinking about
Dan Horde. Yeah, tonight he's doing the UC Louisville Cardinal
basketball game Heritage Bank Center, and then he's gonna go
to bed tonight at some point, get up and trek
out to Knippert Stadium to do the seven o'clock kickoff
of BYU at UC football.
