Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, Billy Cunningham, the Great America.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Welcome this Monday afternoon in the tri States, and the
snow is everywhere, whether it's terrible, So just saddle what
next to your radio and listen up. Last night went
on the air and my syndic dated show. I'm watching
all these channels and their Senator John Houston conducting the Senate.
He is, of course, the junior senator from the state
of Ohio, in such a way as to have the
Senators vote to open up the government subject to what's

(00:31):
going to happen this afternoon. Senator John Eusta, welcome again
to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Senator, can you tell
the average American what in the hell happened yesterday and
what's going to happen later this afternoon, because it takes
all one hundred senators to wrap this thing up. Where
are we now as we sit on early Monday afternoon.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, So there was a continuing resolution passed yesterday along
with three what they call minibuses mini three appropriations bills
for the legislative branch for military construction, for agriculture, which would.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Include snap and things like that.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
They put them into one package. They would keep the
government open until the end of January, appropriate.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
The money for those things.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
But we've always needed sixty votes for this, because the
Senate has a rule to get in debate on something,
you have to have sixty votes. We'd had fifty five
all long, but last night five more Democrats joined us
to get to that sixty vote margin, and so we've
crossed that threshold now and today we will vote on

(01:38):
the final package. However, if one senator objects to it,
it will delay the vote until tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, I can see that happening. You're in charge of
the Senate right now. Do you see that happening? That
one senator, maybe some socialists in Vermont might say I object,
and then you're in this twenty four hour vote rama.
Do you have some indication that Democrats will let people
get their snap benefits where the Democrats allow air traffic
controllers to work, where the Democrats allow the FBI to

(02:06):
get paid.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
What happens if Sander says no?

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Well, if one senator says no, it will delay the
process another day.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Essentially, That's that's what will happen. Anyone can do it.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
But whoever that senator is, if they want to delay
if they want to create more delays at airports, if
they want to stop people from getting snap benefits, if
they want to start, you know, not pay their staff,
not pay the TSA agents and everybody else and all
the families that are struggling, then that Senator, I guess,
can can face the American people because that will it

(02:39):
will be on them.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
So Senator you said, come Hell or high Water. That's
one of my favorite movies. By the way, either it's
this afternoon or tomorrow, it will pass the Senate because
of the additional four or five Democrats, and then I'm
to go to the House.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Is that correct, Hell or high Water?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, yeah, Now we only need fifty votes because once
you once you pass the filibuster threshold of sixty and
you allow it to come to the floor for a vote,
now you only need fifty votes to get the rest
of it done. So so we're past the tough vote.
We will have the votes to get this final package done.
It's just a matter of when that will be.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
So.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Forty one days ago, the Democrats voted not to provide
some benefits. The Democrats voted not to pay TSA in
ATC's Forty one days ago, the Democrats had shut down
the government, and practically every Republican said keep the government open.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
So for the last forty one days.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
What did the Democrats gain by their Shenanigans? Is anything
different now than it was forty one days ago.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Not really. No, we said this from the very beginning.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
We just said, if you open the government up, we're
happy to give you a vote and the then you want.
So now they're going to get a vote on their
Biden COVID bonuses that they put into bailout Obamacare.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
They'll get a vote on that. You know, guarantee it'll pass.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
As a matter of fact, if it's unless they do
it on a bipartisan basis, there's a probably little chance
that will pass. And so they got nothing other than
they caused pain and suffering for the American people.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
But we always knew this is how it's going to end.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
We were going to hold strong to our principles of
opening up the government and then negotiating like government like
you're supposed to do.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Act like an adult.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
For goodness sakes, you know, fund the government, keep services.
The people are paying for these services. It's just you're
but they're not getting them. And that's what's happening when
you shut down the government? And they should have stopped
this long ago, but here we are forty one days later,
a lot of inconvenience, a lot of way bill do

(04:45):
you do? You know it's like four hundred million dollars
a day to some of these workers work, but a
lot of the federal government they were furloughed, they didn't work.
The American people got no services from them. Okay, but
in the end, and they're going to end up paying
back pay for nothing.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
And that's what the Democrats did for us.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Let's step back, Centator, you staid, look at Obamacare, and
I'm gonna play later on the comments of Obama himself
talking about the Unaffordable Care Act in real time what
he said was going to happen.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I'll play those events later.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm looking to my right at something put together by
insurance industry executives so that if you're a family of four,
it costs about twenty seven thousand dollars a year for
your insurance premium, and each family member has deductibility up
to five to seven thousand dollars each. So if you're
a family of four, you've paid twenty seven thousand dollars
for your premium, and if all four of you have
healthcare crises going on, you have to get to five

(05:40):
thousand dollars each of twenty thousand on top of twenty
seven thousand. So before you get a nickel and benefits
under Obamacare, you got to spend forty seven thousand dollars
and then you might get care from a doctor you
didn't choose.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Do I have that right?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
And that's Obamacare that the Democrats are defending. In fact,
they want to expand it and make it more expensive.
Can you understand that what the hell's going on?

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Obamacare doesn't work. It's been a failure.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
The Democrats created the program, not one Republican voted for it.
They put a bailout provision in during the COVID bailout
to keep these subsidies going for four more years that
to expire at the end of this year. The money
doesn't go to the consumer, It goes directly to the
insurance company. And then we have to hope that as

(06:26):
a result of giving that money to the insurance companies
that they will reduce the premiums for people.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
But what we really know is that the.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Insurance companies under Obamacare, their profits are double. Their stock
prices have increased double of what all the other companies
on the Dow Jones Industrial Average have over that.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Period of time.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
It's been a windfall for insurance companies at the benefit
of the American consumer or at the detriment of the
American consumer.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
And we're stuck now.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
And Republicans have said, we want to fix this because
we want to drive down costs. You want to talk
about costs and affordability. The number one driver of inflation
in the twenty first century is healthcare under Obamacare. And
so we've got to fix it. But the Democrats want
to keep subsidizing it.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
And oh, by the way, they don't.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
They want to subsidize it and make your children and
grandchildren pay for it because it would only run up
the deficit even more to continue their subsidies.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Well, it's failed, so subsidized it is the approach of
the Democrats when this thing passed. Number one, like your doctor,
keep your doctor, Like your plan, keep your plan. It's
going to reduce premiums by twenty five hundred dollars a year,
promises Obama said, it would reduce waste in the medical industry,
that would take four trillion dollars off the deficit, four

(07:47):
trillion dollars off the deficit. He said, it would slow
the growth of premium increases. In fact, you'd get rebates.
And then he also said, if all this has failed,
Obama said, if all this doesn't work, we have triggers
and Obamacare that would cut other federal programs to make
up the deficit.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Did any of those things happen.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
No, they didn't happen. The exact opposite happened. The exact
opposite happened. And Chuck Shooter gets on the floor last
night and says, this to the Republican healthcare crisis. Not
the Republican health care crisis. It's your health plan Obamacare.
The whole country runners runs under the rules established under Obamacare.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
They they ended up, you know, high.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Risk pools, which used to be a great option for people.
You could pay for your health care and unless you
had some catastrophic event.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
And then and then the and then the high risk
pools would kick it.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
They outlawed those things. Those things were working very well.
There there are so many things that they now they
have this program Bill.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
I'm telling you it's full of.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Fraud because they enroll people with zero premiums. The insurance
companies enroll them, and no one knows who they are,
where they are they and money goes directly to the
inssurance company. And we know that there are millions of people.
There was one broker in Florida that got that got
fined and arrested for signing up, not one hundred and

(09:05):
ninety thousand fictitious people, all funded by the taxpayer's money
going straight to the insurance company because they have no
checks and balances in this This doesn't work for goodness
stake sakes.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
I want to fix it, but let's you got.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
To be honest about what the problem is before you
can go about fixing things.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
They want to subsidize it more.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Obamacare insurers are getting about four hundred billion dollars a
year directly from the federal government and premium support. The
individual on Obamacare doesn't get the money. The insurance company
gets the money, and then they tell the insured, your
deductibility is now six thousand dollars or at seven thousand dollars.
You can't spend any money. You get no benefits till
it gets above that. You also have certain plans so

(09:44):
you can't go to this doctor, can't go to that doctor.
It's out a network. Got to go to this, got
to go to that. This thing is collapsed. That's failed.
Health savings accounts with catastrophic high risk pools is the
way to go.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
If a family of four would take that twenty.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Seven thousand dollars and put it into a health saving
account which might be over three years in the range
of seventy or eighty thousand dollars sitting there ready to
use for health care, then they have catastrophic high risk pools.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 3 (10:11):
It would be great because then they would if they
didn't use it, then the money would be there for
them in the future when when they had a problem.
It would give an incentive for people to shop to
find lower cost health care. It would force it would
add market forces into the process. It would give people
an incentive to take better care of themselves. Right now,
it doesn't work that way, and you know where the

(10:32):
money is going. You want to know what happened during
the last presidential campaign, ninety percent of the insurance company
money Health Insurance Company went to Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump.
They want the Democrats to continue to subsidize this broken system.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
So the party against good healthcare for Americans is the
Democratic Party, and they want to subsidize, subsidize a failing
system because they get huge campaign donations from the health
insurance comp But and the media doesn't cover it that.
I haven't seen one so called legitimate mainstream media outlet
deal with this the way you and I just have.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Have you have I missed something with NPR. No, I
missed it, and.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Bill, I have to tell you. I have to tell
you. You know, I am the newest member of the US Senate.
I've were working at the state level, and I did
not know how bad this was until I got here
and really had a chance to dig into it a
little bit.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
I didn't realize.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Just how awful of a failure Obamacare was until I've
had a chance to see it, you know, with a
with a closer look.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
And Democrats want to spend more on it. Lastly, you're
a Christian man. I'm a Roman Catholic. I think the
hungry should be fed. I think the homeless need help.
I watched US Department Agricultural Secretary Brook Rollins said of
the forty two million Americans so to speak on SNAP
about five million or dead people. The benefits still roll

(11:55):
out five million dead people, another five million appeared to
be illegal aliens, and the system is gained for benefit
in addition of feeding the hungry. Probably half the people
on food stamps need to be there, the other half
do not. In the nineteen seventies it was one out
of fifty and now today it's one out of eight.
People are enrolled in large numbers. These EBT cards can

(12:17):
be bought and sold in the dark market from fifty
cents on the dollar. And she says there's massive waste,
fraud and abuse in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistant program and
they want to reform it. And this is without twenty
one states, all the Blue ones not sending to the
FEDS who's on Snaply this information about these millions of
people getting freebies are dead are from the red states.

(12:39):
The Blue states will not notify USDA as to who's
on to cross check to see if they're alive or dead.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
And so, yes, I want the hungary to be fed.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
The freestew Ford fre Food Bank does great, great work,
but there's massive waste, fraud and abuse in the system.
And the Democrats in the media want the waste, fraud
and abuse to continue while feeding the hungry, You're feeding
a bunch of other people. Have you looked into the fraud,
waste and abuse?

Speaker 6 (13:05):
She says.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
One other fact tooy centered you said, I'm glad you
brought that up. In May of twenty twenty four, I
have a press release from US Department of Agriculture. This
is Biden's in the White House Biden is tank quote.
In June in twenty twenty four, the USDA reports that
about eleven billion dollars it's not benefits paid in the
fiscal your twenty twenty three was improper. They were paid
to dead people, to those who don't exist, or they

(13:29):
were marketed on the dark market.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
That's from Joe Biden himself.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Why can't we reform these programs in such a way
as to feed the hungry and get all the freeloaders
and dead people off food stamps?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Why can't we do that?

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Well, first of all, I want to focus on what
you said. First.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
Yes, there are a lot of poor people, including children, yes,
who don't who need the help, and we don't want
We want them to have food, to have nutrition and
to be healthy. But it is One of the things
Bill we did increase the eligibility the checks in the
in the Budget Reconciliation Backage the BBB is we we
know it more more fondly, so there there are more

(14:09):
eligibility checks in there in that more needs to be done.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
But I want to tell you a story.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Uh, when I was Lieutenant governor, I know our people
that run the SNAP program found that there was there.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
Were these bodega's, these neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Grocery stores in New York that were running up hundreds
of thousands of dollars of of Snap, you know, cashing
in for Snap benefits from ohioans right from Ohio Snap. Well,
clearly that's not that's not fraud. We know that that
that that's not happening. We informed the Biden administration of
it to cut off that that the you know, the

(14:43):
the SNAP numbers so that the store could not charge
anymore against it.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
They refused to do it.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Like you tell people that there's fraud going on, and
and the Democrats in the past have refused to address it.
We did some of that in the Big Beautiful Bill.
I always say that there's more that we can be done,
But you're right. The blue states don't want to cooperate.
I want to, but remember what the Democrats wanted it at
the beginning to shut downs, for us to vote to

(15:10):
continue to allow medicaid to go to illegal immigrants. And
I want to touch on this game again that gets played.
They become sanctuary cities, they become sanctuary states. Millions of
illegals go to those cities and states. What happens when
they get sick? They go to the hospitals, and you
know what those states do. They use the Medicaid program

(15:34):
to reimburse the hospitals for that quote uncompensated care. They
do this. This is one of the frauds that's going on.
Is one of the things that Democrats wanted us to
vote for that we stopped by standing strong in this
latest budget fight.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh I can you know? An informed electorate is the
republics to last a domain. If we don't have an
informed electorate understanding these issues, we got no chance of
succeeding long term. I'm glad you're there, Senator John used
to this afternoon. Hopefully Senator Sanders doesn't object. If he
does object, here we go. It'll be another twenty four hours.
But you're saying that this thing we'll get to the House.

(16:10):
I watched Speaker Mike Johnson this morning saying this is
going to pass the House. I watched the President said
I'm going to sign it. So the thing holding it
up are the democratic games being played, and the fact
there's all these crises anywhere is because the Democrats would
not vote forty one days go to feed the Hungary.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
I will commend the eight Democrats that finally did it.
There were three of them that were always with us.
Five more came along last night. But Bill, this is
the thing. You've got to feel.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Bad for those eight Democrats.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
The radical left that runs their party is pillaring them
today for doing what for doing the common sense thing
and just shutting or opening up government so that people
can get paid, that we can keep our air traffic safe,
all that kind of stuff. Those eight Democrats are getting
the radical left runs their party. They've been beating them
up all day because what they did a reasonable, rational thing.

(17:03):
And so at least I'm going to give credit to
those eight Democrats who finally said that the madness has
to stop.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Good luck this afternoon, Senator, and thanks for reporting back
to the American people. What's happening in Washington, Senator John Houston,
thank you very much, thank you. Let's continue with more.
Which party voted do not feed the hungry? Which party
voted not to pay cops? Which party voted to continue
the subsidies of a failed government program? What party voted

(17:29):
to put in crisis the financial status of this country?
They're all Democrats. But watching the media, you think Donald
Trump's the problem?

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Are you kidding me? News?

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Coming up your home of the Reds and Bengals, Bearcats
FC marching for Glory, all on news radio seven hundred WLW.
All right, now, let's continue and never stop. We simply continue.
According to Brian Comes, local Congressman Greg Lansman is again
going to vote to shut down the government again, going
to vote not to provide foodstamps again, going to vote

(18:01):
to cause chaos at CBG because he wants some amorphous
concept of improvements to Obamacare, which are never going to
happen because you can't put you can't put whipped cream
on a turd, not going to work. Greg Lansman is
following the dictates of a Keem Jeffries, which doesn't represent
Cincinnati values at all, because by voting to shut down

(18:22):
the government. Democrats have voted not to provide food stamps,
keep the airport functional, not to pay law enforcement, not
to pay veterans benefits. That Democrats are doing that, not
the Republicans. You might recall six weeks ago, the Republicans said, well,
we'll have a CR continuing resolution. The CR means let's

(18:43):
keep current spending at the present levels, and the Democrats,
wanting an issue for the campaign, which concluded on Tuesday
of last week in several states, said let's cause chaos
and try to trick our voters into believing that we
want to improve the plight of those on food stamps
and those getting so called Obamacare subsidies. So let's trick
them into believing that we're doing something good by stopping

(19:05):
the government from sending out checks to people. And the
Republican Party is the one that's saying, let's send out
the checks, let's keep it going. And they thought at
the time, I know this from speaking to noted individuals
in Washington, that they anticipated the Democrats would go along
with the current spending levels put out by Joe Biden
a year previous. Just keep it going. We'll work on

(19:26):
changes down the road. They thought, Okay, even the Democrats
can't be this stupid.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Well, you're wrong. They are this stupid because they tricked their.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Voters into believing that they're the ones trying to keep
the government open when you vote against it. Normally, when
you vote against something, you vote against something. They're saying,
we voted to shut down the government because we want
the government open. Then they convinced so many poorly informed
Democratic voters that the Republicans voted to keep the government

(19:54):
open because they.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Want to shut it down.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
So Democrats, the great Landsman type saying shut the government
because I want to keep it open. And he's saying,
the Republicans want to vote to keep the government open
because they want to shut it down. Can you smell
when I'm cooking? Of course, the essence of this is
the disaster of Obamacare. And briefly, let's go down memory
lane of Barack Hussein Obama, the Messiah in his own words,

(20:19):
when this passed the House and the Senate only supported
by Democrats, and what the promises made and now the
chickens are coming home to roost.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Dave Keaton hit it.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
It will actually reduce the deficit by four trillion, dollars
over the long term. Reducing the waste and inefficiency in
Medicare and Medicaid will pay for most of this plan.
It will slow the growth of healthcare costs for our families,
our businesses, and our government.

Speaker 8 (20:50):
There will be a provision in this plan that requires
us to come forward with more.

Speaker 7 (20:54):
Spending cuts if the savings we promised don't materialize.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Did any of that happen? Of course not.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
That lies upon lies upon lies to trick you in
the believing that by Republicans voting to keep the government open.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
They want to shut it down. By Democrats voting to
shut down the government, they want to keep it open.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Are you confused yet? But Obama, in his own words,
it's going to reduce the deficit by four trillion dollars.
Was that even close to happening?

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Hell no.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
How about reducing waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare Medicaid?

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Hell no? How about slowing the growth of premiums?

Speaker 9 (21:35):
Hell no?

Speaker 2 (21:36):
And how about triggering cuts to other federal government programs.
If these promises fail, which they all have failed, any
of this go want no? Also, might remember, if you
like your plan and keep your plan, you like your
doctor and keep your doctor, they'll be expanded networks. You
can go where you want to go. It's something for nothing. Then,
ain't any of that happen? Of course not. And the

(21:58):
media is complicit and this can conspiracy against you. I
have a guest coming up in about twenty five to
thirty minutes who chronicles what's happening in the media coverage,
you know, garbage in, garbage out. If low information, Democratic
voters keep hearing lies from the Democrats, they keep putting
in power anticipating a different result. When something doesn't transpire,

(22:18):
quickly forget the past. Don't remind the voter as to
what we promised. Let's just quickly blame Trump for the
failure of Obamacare.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Does anyone buy that one? I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Obamacare covers about seven percent of the American people. The
other programs are Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans benefits, employe er sponsored
healthcare plans. When I walk around here at iHeartMedia and
I talk to individuals on the iHeart Plan, almost to
a man or to a woman, they like the plan

(22:53):
that we have. There's one hundred and fifty five million
Americans who work. Now there's a four letter word work.
As part of that, you get health care benefits part
of your package, shall we say, And about ninety percent
are at least satisfied, some very satisfied.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Of course, some are unsatisfied.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
But about ninety percent on employer sponsored health care plans
say we're okay with it. Ask those of Medicare, Medicaid
veterans benefits, are you okay with the coverage? Generally answer
is yes. The little slither of the Campbell's nose under
the tent which would bring a socialized medicine and make
everything look like Obamacare is the ACA, which the Washington

(23:34):
Post declared about three weeks ago. This isn't exactly a
conservative publication. The Washington Post said the Obamacare plans are unaffordable,
and they are unaffordable because the premiums are supported by
the United States government, and the monies go not to
the recipient of the ACA, but it goes directly to

(23:57):
the insurance companies, And they promise the insurance case companies
promised they're going to hold down expenses on behalf of
their twenty two million policy holders.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
None of that happen either.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
In fact, the value of the healthcare industry stocks have
gone up ten times since Obamacare. One thousand percent premium
increases are legendary. Within the plan itself, there's been a
three hundred percent increase in the premiums, largely supported by
the US government on Obamacare. So, if you're a family

(24:31):
of four, you pay on average through Obamacare ACA, which
has failed, about twenty seven thousand dollars a year of
out of your own pocket. You pay I guess monthly
or quarterly. Then on top of that, the deductibilities started
at a one thousand dollars fifteen years ago. Most plans
now have deductibilities of five to seven thousand dollars. So

(24:53):
a family of four, I say to Mom and the
dad paid twenty seven thousand a year over two thousand
dollars a month, and before they can access the plan,
each individual recipient in the family has to incur five
thousand dollars in expenses before you get a nickelback. You
pay all that money and you likely are not going
to use the plan any year, and it costing you

(25:13):
some serious money with bad coverage. Like your plan, keep
your plan, like your doctor, don't like your doctor. The
insurance companies decide deductibility the cost of the.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Plan and who you can.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Go see with prescriptive drug benefits that are odd. So
the insurance companies are gaming the federal government to pay
them more money. Right now, it's about four hundred billion
dollars a year, and they stock at the insurance company
executives of skyrocketing four hundred billion. Then they keep chopping
down on the availability of plans for you, as someone

(25:44):
in the ACA.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Now I just told you the truth.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Is that the kind of stuff you hear from the
mainstream media or PBS or NPR, I don't think so.
About ninety percent of the coverage blames Donald Trump for
the failure of OBAMACA. So when six weeks ago, Greg
Lansman and others said, you know what, shut down the government.
Quit sending out the food stamps. We want air traffic

(26:09):
controllers not to be paid, we want TSA not to
be paid. We know we're gonna leve Trump's gonna lay
off millions of federal workers. We want all that to happen.
Please shut down the government. Now they tricked you in
the believing that the Republicans are responsible for their behavior.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Do you buy it?

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Man?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
I hope not.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
You just search Senator John Euston talk about the massive waste,
fraud and abuse, and I think it's worse than you think.
The trustees of Medicare and Medicaid and the trustees of
Social Security say every year there's well north of one
hundred billion dollars of fraud in the system of Medicare,
Medicaid and Social Security and it's largely unaddressed. According to

(26:55):
the Secretary of Agriculture, she said a few days ago,
oh that likely there's five million dead people getting food stamps.
In addition to that, likely more than five million people
are legal aliens I legally to get the they're getting
food stamps. On top of that, there are many that
are eligible for food stamps who get them in numerous

(27:18):
states and sell. The addition, you heard center John used
to talk about the bodegas, which in one in New
York City had hundreds of thousands of dollars of EBT
cards that he sold and or shipped to Haiti and
Nicaragua and barrels to sell in bodega's. There massive waste,
fraud and abuse and this is happening when twenty one

(27:40):
of the fifty states refused to share information with the
federal government, which are all the blue states. They don't
want the FEDS to know how many people, for example,
in California are on food stamps, not because they're hungry,
but because it's a money maker in the state of California,
which is about fifty million people. Fifty million people live
in the state of California, or so that since in

(28:02):
the last five years, the price of food stamps sent
to the FEDS administered by California has gone up forty
five percent. It's now above fifteen billion dollars a year
for one state. I want every hungry person to be fed.
No one should die in this country of hunger. Obesity
is a bigger problem among the poor than actual hunger.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
It's obesity.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
And some of the comments I see on YouTube I'm
getting larger, I need more food stamps. That make a
lot of sense to me. So we finally have a
president and an administration who wants to shed light on
the truth about these welfare programs of one type or another.
And when the light is shed, the mainstream media does
not inform their readers, viewers, or listeners as to the

(28:48):
truth because it doesn't fit the narrative of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
So we'll see what happened.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Member, If you like your plan, keep your plan, like
your doctor, keep your doctor. Four trillion dollars off the deficit.
Obama said, reduce waste, fraud, and abuse. Hell I went
the other direction. Slow the growth of premiums. Premiums have
gone up two hundred and forty five percent in the
last five years. And one of the worst things are
the deductibilities in which you started at one thousand dollars.

(29:15):
Then the plan kicks in. Now it's five to seven
thousand dollars. You have to spend before you get a nickelback.
And he also said that when all these things don't happen,
Obama said, guess what, We're going to trigger cuts to
the federal budget.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Cuts. The opposite occurred.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
So the media won't tell you the truth, but I
just did, and so I don't know how it turns out.
Sometime this afternoon, the Senate's going to send it over
to the House. Mike Johnson, the Speaker, said, we're gonna
I had on I had on last night Warren Davidson,
who's my new congressman by the way, who said it's
going to pass in the House. The President is going
to sign it. Thursday or Friday, but it'll take up

(29:54):
to a month to get to get the TSA up
to snuff along with the ATCs, get the airplanes going.
So Greg Lansman voted not to feed the Hungary. He
voted to shut down the federal government, put out of
work millions of government employees, and he voted to make
sure that the healthcare system will be more expensive. Four
hundred billion dollars a day is what it called. I'm sorry,

(30:16):
four hundred million dollars a day and losses revenues to
the federal government for what. We're in the same position
now as we're seven weeks ago. Once again, the Republicans
are voting to open the government. The Democrats are voting
to close the government, including Greg Lansman, want the government
shut down over some angle shot about Obamacare that has failed.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Well, let's continue.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Coming up later, we'll be Michael McDonald to the Catholic
League about what's happening to socialism in this country. And
after one o'clock today will be the great Curtis Holk
of NewsBusters dot org about his research into what you've
been told by our media in the past six or
seven weeks and lies proliferate as the truth can't find roots.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
It's incredible. And so when you vote based upon lies, you.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Get the government you deserve. So the Unaffordable Care Act
is now worth sacrificing the US government when it has
failed miserably. It doesn't work. The best plan would be
a health savings account measuring the family of four, taking
twenty seven thousand dollars a year into a bank account

(31:25):
called a health savings gount a fit third bank. Here's
twenty seven thousand. That's the premius we should pay, and
out of that we will pay our regular medical bills
of one type or another. And then we have a
catastrophic plan in case someone gets hit by a car,
catches cancer, has a brain tumor whatever. It might be
a catastrophic plan. But we determine our own spending out

(31:48):
of the health savings account because those are individual decisions
made by us. But the Democrats hate that. It doesn't
give the government control over your life. What does Greg
Lansman vote to shut down the government because the media
blames the Republicans for his behavior. Let's continue the line

Bill Cunningham, the Great American. Of course, it appears based
upon the comments that Senator John Houston about an hour ago.
The some time later today, unless Bernie Sanders ubjects, the

(32:34):
Senate's going to pass the resolution close to a cr
which they could have done about six weeks ago but
failed to do so. Then it'll go on to the
House of Representatives, and sometime later this week, probably Thursday
or Friday, the government government will be back open. Joining
me now is the great Curtis Hawk of NewsBusters dot Org.

(32:54):
And they put together a column a couple of days ago,
and it's only gotten worse since the headline is For
the past month, the big three broadcast networks ABCNBCCBS have
hammered congressional Republicans and Trump with a wall of negative
shutdown coverage while largely shielding the Democrats from blame for
the now history gridlock that they cost. And it's broken

(33:16):
down by various newscasts. Broadcast coverage heavily favored Democrats eighty
seven percent to thirteen percent for we lowly Republicans. Only
twelve reports, less than one fifth even mentioned that Senate
Democrats refused to vote for a clean cr Not a
single report mentioned that Democrats voted in March to end
the same Obamacare subsidies which they are now demanding be

(33:37):
reinstated or expanded. Joining me now is Curtis Howkin. First
of all, Curtis, I know, this afternoon, it appears that
the Senate's going to pass this thing unless Senator Center
someone else objects, in which case they go to a
twenty four hour vote rama. What was gained the past
six weeks by having the Democrats shut down, the air

(33:58):
traffic controllers not pay the TSA shutting down, federal police
not paying them. What did the Democrats gain that they
somehow now have have gained because of what the Senate did.
What was the purpose of the last forty two days?

Speaker 10 (34:15):
Well, I think a couple of things.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
They are good to be with you.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
Number one.

Speaker 10 (34:18):
Unfortunately, it's the elections. I mean, that's one thing. I mean,
the public poll, opinion polling. It hasn't been as bad
as past shutdowns, But unfortunately a number of Americans, probably
because they're unfamiliar with how the Senate works, are blaming
Republicans and President Trump for the shutdown. You know, that's
a huge issue there, and also the complicit media coverage

(34:41):
as you laid out there. Of all those stats, I
think the biggest one for me was not the eighty
seven to thirteen but the less than one fifth, the
less than twenty percent of all networkingning newscast coverage in
October mentioned that Senate Democrats except believe three of them,
have refused to vote, had refused to vote for a
clean continuing resolution, and instead of really trying to engage

(35:04):
in assigning blame, which we've kind of been able to
do a more clean example of in past shutdowns, we
haven't been we're able to this time because the shutdown
so much of it was focused on the effects of
the shutdown, not why the shutdown was happening, which obviously
that is part of it too, to talk as you
discussed in the lead, any of the air traffic controllers

(35:25):
and people on staff and with benefits, and government workers
not having their paychecks and the reciprocating effects, you know,
or the trickle down effects into the economy, and that's
all well and good, but I think also when you
look at the media coverage in terms of salient facts,
when you're talking about the government shutdown. I feel like
identifying the group of people who have a posed reopening

(35:49):
the government should be near the top in terms.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Of the sale.

Speaker 8 (35:52):
You would want to make you think so, you would
think so, you would.

Speaker 10 (35:56):
Think that, but I would I will tell you.

Speaker 8 (35:58):
In the Monday morning.

Speaker 10 (35:58):
Coverage, they seeming dropped all this you at ABC's Rachel
Scott said, quote Democrats backed away from what they were
demanding in the shutdown about healthcare, Ryan Nobles on NBC News,
He said the subsidies were quote the reason Democrats had
pushed for this is in the shutdown in the first place. Oh,
it's like Joe Biden's cognitive is a climbill. Now the

(36:20):
story can be told, well, story can be told.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Go back by six or seven weeks. The Republicans are
the one who said, let's do a cr in other words,
keep the Biden spending in place. We're willing just continue
where we are. And the Democrats were the ones who said,
don't keep Biden spending in place. We want not to
feed the hungry, we want the planes.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
To fall out of the sky.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
We don't want to pay federal workers, we don't want
their traffic controllers to be paid. Even the union and
the federal government workforce said we can't take this anymore. Democrats,
we fund you completely. Why don't you tell the truth
that you're the ones shutting down the government and not
the Republicans. They wanted to continue spending, and the Democrats
said no until a failed program was more supported by

(37:04):
the American taxpayer. Let me give you some facts, Curtis,
how do you care about facts. Let's say Tony Benders
married my producer and a family of four, and let's
say he's working, and he's part of the Obamacare exchanges,
and so the government gives gives to the insurance companies
the money. They don't give it to the insured. But
if Tony Bender is a family of four, he spends
about twenty seven thousand dollars a year for insurance premiums

(37:27):
for his family of four. However, deductibilities, according to the
insurance companies, can be five to seven thousand dollars each.
So if all four of the Benders are having difficulties,
that means he spends twenty seven thousand dollars for the
premium per year, low over two thousand a month. And
for the four people they got to have twenty thousand
dollars more, and they spend out of their own pocket

(37:48):
before they get a nickel of exchange money. I take
twenty seven thousand plus twenty thousand, that's forty seven thousand
dollars you have to spend before you get any kind
of coverage.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Hell, what kind of.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Insurance is that insurance that drive you nuts?

Speaker 10 (38:02):
It's a scam, scam. And and the thing is the
Democrats that's also not been mentioned the coverage that the
Democrats voted to sunset these particular subsidies in the last
r in March, you know, I mean. And also these
subsidies were created back during the American Rescue Plan, the

(38:23):
Inflationary Boondoggle, one of the ones that was passed by
Joe Biden in the Democrat Congress in the early days
of his presidency. It's a lot of the inflationary measures
and these subsidies that are further inflating the market the
healthcare and the healthcare exchanges were created by Senate Democrats.

(38:46):
And of course that's not going to come up at either.
You know that you know, and maybe maybe the fact
that we're having to talk about all these subsidies and
that Democrats increased it so that people four hundred percent
above the poverty line could still receive coverage. Maybe that's
an indication that it's not really the industry that's a problem.
The industry is a problem, but I think the bigger

(39:08):
issues maybe it's the law. Maybe it's Obamacare itself. That's
kind of an issue here that, you know, if you're
agreeing to give people hundreds of a percent above the
poverty line substitutes because even they can't afford coverage on
the exchanges, there's some deeper issues afoot.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Marjorie Taylor Green. They trot her out regularly the Congress.
The Democrats said, let's put congressman and senators under Obamacare,
and then we're going to know how good it is. Well,
Marjorie Taylor Green's income is about two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars a year, so she makes a quarter of
a million dollars a year, which most people say, it'll
pay your own bills, But she gets a huge Obamacare

(39:46):
subsidy that is paid directly to her insurance company, and
then it goes down to her premium, and then she
has four people on it, and she's got to spend
twenty seven five hundred dollars a year in premiums that
she pays, plus those another twenty thousand, five thousand dollars
each before the deductibility kicks in. And she's the one
that says we have to provide more subsidies to me.

(40:08):
I think most Americans would say, if you're making a
quarter million dollars a year, possibly Tony Bender and those
who work for a living, should not be subsidizing you.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
How about taking.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Care of yourself or most importantly, Curtis out health savings
accounts and catastrophic care HSA's mean you take that twenty
seven thousand dollars a year, you put it in a
health savings account of the bank. After two years, you
got fifty four thousand dollars to spend on healthcare. If
you have a catastrophic problem, you have a much lower
cost policy to pay for the catastrophe. But you got

(40:39):
all this money. Instead of going to insurance companies, it
goes to you. Now, the government, the Democrats don't like
that because who's in charge of your money right now?
It's the Democrats and the insurance companies. They don't want
you in charge of your own health care. Can you
smell what I'm cooking.

Speaker 10 (40:54):
Yeah, they don't want you in control of your own destiny,
imaging that.

Speaker 8 (40:58):
How about that.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
No, now, let's talk about something. I'm glad you brought
it up. Food stamps have me all fired up. Do
I think the hungry should be fed? Absolutely, no question
about it. Many Americans, disabled children, old folks that can't
get a hamburger, and yes. In the nineteen seventies it
was fifty, it was fifty to one. One American out
of fifty was on food stamps. Now it's about one

(41:22):
out of Now it's twelve and a half percent, one
out of eight.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
So something happened in food stamps.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Instead of it being for the hungry, it went into
the industry of providing food to individuals. In addition to that,
five million people on the foodstamp program are dead. The
dead don't eat a lot of food. Another five million
people are legal aliens. They shouldn't get it. Waste fraud
and abuse. I have this study. F Brooke Rawlins, to
Secretary of Agriculture, said there's massive waste, fraud and abuse.

(41:49):
Sixty eight million dollars in snap schemes in New York
City alone. Ohio had over one hundred million dollars in schemes,
and so instead of reforming the program, we've got to
spend more money for it. Can you smell what I'm cooking?

Speaker 10 (42:02):
Well, yeah, I mean it's created for their government dependency.

Speaker 5 (42:05):
I mean, at.

Speaker 10 (42:05):
Least a week ago, there was a video clip that
went viral from I believe the ABC affiliate in New
Mexico that point that said, oh, there's this woman who
had been on food stamps for I believe thirty year,
thirty or forty years and said, oh, now I've never
run out of money or whatever. Now I'm going to
run out of money. And you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, Like,

(42:28):
excuse me, longer than a lot of people here at
the MRC, you've been alive.

Speaker 6 (42:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
And another issue was the size of people on food stamps.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
I went the hunger to be fed.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
I'm watching an interview with a woman appeared to be
about twenty five or thirty years old. She had a
weigh three hundred pounds, she had three colored hair, and
she says, I need more food stamps. Goes, I'm getting bigger,
and the bigger I get, the more I got to eat.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
And I'm looking this.

Speaker 10 (42:52):
Exactually the people in Gaza, you know, all the people
in Gaza thing that there's starvation going on, and you're like.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
I need more now about And the interviewer said, why
don't you work? And this woman looked at the interviewer
and said, that's nothing to do with this.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
I need more food. I'm getting bigger.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
It's like, well, maybe that's why you're getting bigger.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
You got too much food and don't work.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
And what happened to the idea curtis out of Americans
paying their own bills, going to work, taking care of
their own expenses, what's wrong with that idea?

Speaker 10 (43:24):
Well, you've completely thrown this idea of temporary, a temporary
safety net out the window. Now it's a permanent mesh
like I don't know, I don't want to say wall,
but yeah, I mean it's it's not just a trampoline anymore.
You hit it and you largely stay there because you
realize that if I try to get off of it,

(43:45):
I may actually have to work. I may actually have
to do with the jobs, you know, And always this
comes down to, and this goes to the country's psychological
breakdown that we've had for so long. In this country
is it's always someone else's fault.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
A couple other quick issues.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
I can remember a jewel or name, I think her
name was Julie, put together by Obama about from the
day you're born to the day you die, the federal
government will be there to care for you. If you
decide to have your baby and not have an abortion.
There's aid to dependent children. If you need housing, they're
section in housing. If you need food, there's snap benefits.
If you have a disability, real or imagine SSI will

(44:23):
send you money. So from the day you're born to
the day you die, the federal government is there. And
in fact, mom Donnie said on Tuesday, there's no problem
so big that the government cannot take care of it. Explain,
Explain how that is pure and simple communism or too.

Speaker 10 (44:39):
Small for government to care about and want to get
involved with. Yeah, it literally means everything. I mean, it's
really scary. I mean that we're creating this entire generation. Unfortunately,
a lot of my generation, the Millennials and some Zoomers
but to a lesser extent, have fallen into this chat

(45:00):
because we spent decades largely not being as focused on
what people were being taught in our public schools and
at our universities, and now we're living with the consequences
of that. You know, Unfortunately it took something like COVID
for a lot more people to start paying attention to
what's being taught in our education system. But nonetheless, here

(45:21):
we are. But to turn that car around, you know,
there's going to be some suffering, and we'll see that.
In New York City. It's all fun and games and
you know, high and mighty ideas until you get stabbed
and a social worker shows up instead of a cop.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Well, you know, six weeks ago, the Democrats voted to
stop food stamps, they voted to not pay air traffic controllers,
they voted not to pay the military. And every time
the Republicans the past six weeks are brought up a
standalone bill, let's only fund food stamps.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Now we can't do that.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Let's only fund those workers working presently, and now we
can't do that. How about funding pensions for the military, No,
we can't do that. And so in every time the
Republicans brought it up, the Democrats said, no, we're in
the same position now we would have been six weeks ago.
But the Democrats, who wanted to continue these failures at
government policies. In fact, they want to continue and they

(46:10):
want to spend more money on it. And I would
point out that there's twenty one states, all the Blue
states refuse to share data with the federal government is
seeing food stamps and many of these governmental programs the
states administer it, and the funds and the FEDS funded.
And so we have all these statistics about waste, fraud
and abuse in a system where California, New York, Illinois

(46:32):
and eighteen other states won't even share the data with
the FEDS to see how much fraud there is.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
What do you think about that one?

Speaker 10 (46:39):
Well, isn't that interesting? Is it's just they have something
to hide, Like absolutely, we're receiving food stamps should not
be receiving it at all.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
In five different states.

Speaker 6 (46:49):
That's terrible.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
In five different states, there are thousands of Americans who
get food stamps and they sell the benefit cards and
buy other stuff with the snap benefits that you're expensed.
So well, we got to run Curtis Houck once again.
NewsBusters dot Org is their report. I say, garbage in,
garbage out. If the American people are told garbage they

(47:11):
cast ballots as an informed electorate based upon the garbage
dumped into their brains by the mainstream media, and they
keep voting for the failure of the policies that the
Democrats have caused, quickly blaming the Republicans because the Democratic
policies have failed. I think long term, Curtis Hack, you're
a relatively young feller. I think we got long term
problems unless we have an informed electorate.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Do you agree?

Speaker 10 (47:33):
Yeah, I mean, as we know, we've seen these presidential elections.
You know, you start with two thick, going back to
two thousand, pretty much almost every presidential election has been
pretty close. So that's why we say we got to
keep the eye on the ball and get rid of
the liberal media and fight them because we got to
fight for every vote.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
God bless America. Curtis Haulk, give my best to all
the folks at NewsBusters dot org. You're a great American
and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

Speaker 10 (47:57):
Right back at you, my friend, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
God bless you.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
And lastly, every part of the federal government, Democrat and
Republicans have said for years there's massive waste, fraud and abuse.
Let's get added the Democrats want a fun failure, and
the Republicans want to go a new direction. In fact,
in social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Trustees say there's at
least one hundred billion dollars a year in fraud and Medicare, Medicaid,

(48:21):
and Social Security, probably a lot more than one hundred
billion dollars. They can't be addressed because the Democrats want
more fraud and the Republicans want to reform the system.
Where do you stand as a normal American? Bill Cunningham

are in first place. Who do you like in that matchup? Bengals?
Then they're five and six. Then they go to the

out since September sixteenth with that famous toe injury. Then
the Bengals go to Buffalo and play play the Scott
Sloan Bills there.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Who do you like in that matchup? Well, the Dolphins
ran them over yesterday. I didn't ask you that question.
Who do you like? Bengals?

Speaker 2 (51:14):
Then they come home and play the Ravens Bengals. Then
they go to Miami and play the Finns Bengals. Then
they come home against the Cardinaleys Bengals. Then they're home
against the Brownies Bengals. So you're saying at this point.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
They're gonna run. They're gonna run the table in the
second half.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Eleven and six, I say one, they're gonna have one
loss in the second half, and that thing they get
ten and really yeah, so ten and.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Seven I got you gotta have hope. I have little.
Steelers are five and four. I have fangs.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Ravens are four and five, but they're coming on and
the Browns are a mess at two and seven. When's
the last team go one and five then make the playoffs?

TAWI style. That's what they did with Griffy, right right
back after Griffy he was paid what like ten years
after he was done. You're not going to own the
team anyway in twenty or thirty years, correct? How about
getting colle Swarber paying five million dollars a year? Take

(54:26):
thirty million a year and begin it in ten years
from now? They sign a four hundred million dollar contract
backloaded pay three hundred the four hundred million and beginning
in ten to twenty years from now?

Madeira Amazons. The Amazons or in the process of getting
the hold of them. We'll see what happens. We'll see
what I mean. Now, well, they got to answer some
of my academic questions. Now, what about the head football
coach of the New.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
York Giants, Brian Dabole got fired today? Well he's out
after the team blew another double digit leads Sunday in Chicago,
second time this season they've lost after leading by at
least ten points with under four minutes to go. How
about the retoff to do in the National Football League.

(57:41):
How about Zach Schule also under Zach Taylor as a
record of nine and twenty eight without Joe Burrow, he's
not taken over Giants a two to eight assistant head
coach and offensive coordinator. Mike Kafka will be the interim
coach for the New York Football Giants.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
What do you think of.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
You're not saying that Joe Burrow, if the team is
like four and nine, is gonna come back and sometime
in December about what three, Well, he's eligible to be
activated to the roster during this twenty one day period.
So he's gonna They're just gonna take it day by day.
Some of the being he asking do you think he'll
play this Sunday?

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Wow? No, No, just gonna take it day by day.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
He's out on the field today throwing around, doing a
little bit chilli out there.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
Segment.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
They're going to be in the bubble. They're in the bubble.
They're in the bubble. I think here, I'm in a bubble.
You're not kidding. They're in a bubble. So, well, Joe,
how about betting me a hot flud Sunday? Well, Joe play?

Speaker 1 (58:39):
Why wouldn't he come? I mean why why?

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Because he's gonna get hurt again? I know he's not
toe calf, knee, wrist, toe, caff, knee, wrist, risk knee calf,
toe knee bonus connected to the thigh bull. I'm gonna
tell you, right, I bone connected to the hip. He
goes out there when it's zero and breaks a leg.
Then what I'm saying you don't play him unless you
need him. Maybe Zach Taylor needs him to keep his job.

(59:04):
Nine and twenty eight without Joe? Is that good or bad?

Speaker 1 (59:07):
Not good?

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Well, we'll see what happens, but they'll know in three
weeks from now.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Right.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
In fact, the game after Thanksgiving Day they play like
an eight o'clock in Baltimore.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
Correct, and after that he could beat Joe Barrow time
and a Christmas gift for the Cincinnati area.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
What if it lose the next three games into three
and nine, you bring him back three and nine.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
That's that's that's a decision. That's way beyond my pay grade.
How about the sports betting scheme? Look to your right,
two guardian pitchers, and these are hammers, thank you, I guess,
Manuel Emmanuel Classe and Luis Ortiz. What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Charged with fraud, conspiracy, and bribery to rig individual pitches
that led gamblers to winning hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now,
apparently a Class A is getting has like a twenty
million dollar contract. Not now, but if he was, he
was rigging the pitches, he would get five thousand dollars

(01:00:02):
per pitch. Say it again, if when he threw a
rigged pitch, Clause he'd get, he'd get that. How did
he know what the betters it was time to throw
a ball? No idea, I can guarantee you I can
throw a ball. I can't guarantee you I'm gonna throw
a strike. Well, cross A and Ortiz could each get

(01:00:22):
face up to twenty years in prison for wire fraud conspiracy,
twenty years for honest services wire fraud conspiracy, that's not good,
twenty years for Monday laundering experiency conspiracy, five years for
conspiracy to influence sporting events by bribery. Why would Clause

(01:00:43):
making twenty million dollars care about five thousand dollars a pitch?

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Don't know? I mean it's the same thing with those
NBA guys. How do you explain? How do you do that?

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
I mean, you're gonna tell say, hey, in the third quarter,
I'm gonna get hurt and it's going to you know,
that's what you tell the betters. Any guy turns around,
Oh my, there goes my knee my achilles. I gotta
I gotta limp off. He did limp off, right, he
limped off. Yeah, I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Segment.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
I know it's free money in a sense, not taxable.
Maybe that's the deal. And these guys are paying forty
percent that in the NBA. You got now, you got
this in baseball. What about when you're gonna hit the
National Football League? And then when's it gonna hit college sports.
It's already hit that now. One thing about foot tell
you no one player could determine positively the outcome of

(01:01:33):
a bet. By that, I mean I can determine if
I'm pitching, I'm gonna throw a ball, right, I can
say I can determine if I'm a basketball player, I'm
gonna miss this free throw. If I'm a golfer, I
can say I got a ten foot putt. I can't
guarantee I'm gonna make it, but I can guarantee I'm
gonna miss it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
I'm liking football.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
There's too many other elements of twenty two players running around.

Speaker 6 (01:01:54):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
You can have a I guess a player. You could
have a kicker saying I'm gonna miss a fifty yard
field goal, But you don't know if he's gonna have
a fifty yard field goal. I can guarantee you baseball
player is going to be pitching, and a basketball player
is going to be shooting free throws. But if you're
a kicker, you can't determine the outcome of the game
because you can't. You can't do it. You can't say,
get me out of the student's report we have coming

(01:02:15):
up next. Michael McDonald would have full believed from the
Catholic League. Willy, we leave you on this snowy day,
We leave you with the immortal words of the stood
Report Blive.

Speaker 11 (01:02:26):
For this year, residents will have access to a clear
and accurate tracker during winter events that not just documents
where trucks have been, but the exact treatments that each
truck has done to our streets.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Did that happen today? I don't know, did it? No?

Speaker 4 (01:02:42):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
On seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Bill Cunning in the Great American is the election of
Mam Donnie is, the mayor of the financial capital the
world in America's largest city will portend for the future,
as if predicting what's going to happen in races in
the mid term and more. And the New York City
economy by itself is about thirteen percent ranked in the
world if it was a country. In other words, it's

(01:03:16):
a big deal. Jobs are leaving left and right and
might accelerate, might not. But the Catholic League and Michael
McDonald's headquartered right there in the belly of the beast
in New York City. Michael McDonald, welcome again to the
Bill Cunningham Show. And there's a column up penned by
Bill Donnie. You the profile of mam donnie voters is
quite telling, and so can you tell the American people.

(01:03:36):
A lot of works have been done to identify who
voted for Mom Donnie and what it means for Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana,
Texas and Florida. So give us a brief profile of
the mon Donnie voters determined by your research.

Speaker 6 (01:03:51):
Yep, thanks both, great to be with you again. Yeah,
there's a couple of key, very key demographic groups came
out support of ma'm donni. Particularly, he crushed it with
young people, people under thirty, just crushing with them, getting
about sixty two percent of the vote from them, and

(01:04:13):
then first time voters as well, sixty he got sixty
five percent of their vote. Young liberal white women he
got eighty four percent of their vote, So that's pretty
much that's pretty much a safe lock there. Asians voted
for him in large numbers, over sixty percent of the vote,

(01:04:35):
nearly sixty percent of the vote among Black voters, nearly
just over fifty percent of the vote from Hispanic voters,
So it was definitely a very big coalition of people
coming out, but particularly younger and lefter voters tended to

(01:04:57):
break Mamdanni, not even I mean, and Donnie got over
fifty percent of the vote, So he's locked in there
with pretty much a mandate at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
And one thing I found amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Jews voted for Cuomo over Mamdani sixty three to thirty three.
But that means that thirty three percent of Jews voted
for someone whose doubts about the Holocaust, who did not
oppose what amasaid on October the seventh, one third of
Jews said we want Mamdanni to be the mayor. And
then the other thing, Catholics split the vote similarly, that

(01:05:35):
among thirty three percent of Catholics also voted for Mamdani.
And how do you explain one third of Jews in
New York City voting for Mamdani.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
How's that possible.

Speaker 6 (01:05:47):
Yeah, it seems like if you dig a little bit deeper,
younger Jews and particularly were the ones that made up
that thirty three percent of the overall Jewish population. But
I saw estimates there that it was closer to seventy
percent amongst younger Jews breaking hard for Mam Donnie. So
it could just be this young left wing idealism. I mean,

(01:06:12):
I know, Mam Donnie said, you just always run on
the affordability of four billion. Yeah, it's New York is
not cheap. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you need
to elect the socialist, the guy that refuses to condemn
the Intifada, that refuses to come out and really renounce

(01:06:36):
some of the ugly anti Semitism that exists within the
Democratic Party. That doesn't necessarily mean you need to vote
for him. And I mean, if you look at his policies,
they're crazy that they're never gonna work. I mean, socialism
has failed everywhere. It's not even a great idea on
the blackboard. It's just a terrible concept that a lot
of these people are young and indoctrinated, they don't know

(01:06:57):
any better, and they're kind of fed up. And even
with the Catholics, I will say another thing that probably
should get a little bit more play is Cuomo in
particular was very bad when he was governor. I mean
we talked about all the time he would tramp on

(01:07:18):
religious liberty, but especially during COVID he was particularly hard
on the Catholic churches here in New York City and
the Orthodox chows in the city. So I could definitely see,
you know, maybe some people are just holding their nose
and saying, yeah, Cuomo, you never did right by me.
You were really you shut down my church, you shut
down my synagogue. I'm not coming out to vote for you.

(01:07:41):
So there is definitely and it definitely does seem to
be that way when you get down into some of
the other more interesting opinion poll pieces, like when you
look at people saying, do you think Pam Donnie's going
to do a good job? Well, no, I really don't
think his policies are going to be good. You know,
most people were saying that compared to the people it
was like thirty percent they thought he would do a

(01:08:01):
good job, about fifty percent now he's probably not can
do a good job. Do you think his policies are realistic? Oh? No,
absolutely not. So it does seem to be that this
anti Quomo strand was probably a little bit stronger than
everyone kind of thought it was going to be. I
think that also has to plan this to a big
extent when you have people saying, I don't think he's

(01:08:22):
up for the job. I don't think he's going to
do a good job. I don't think his policies are realistic.
But then he still gets over fifty percent of the vote. Like,
those numbers don't match up, So there must there must
be a much stronger anti Quomo strand than people gave
him credit for.

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
Coup other findings here, Men are forty eight percent of
the population in New York City, made up only forty
four percent of the electorate. Women are fifty two percent
of the population. They counted for fifty five percent of
the voters, and of young women under the age of thirty,
eighty four percent voted for Memdannie. Young women loved him,
and it's incontestable that both the New York Times the

(01:09:00):
Washington Posts have moved far to the left of the
radical center left position, they drew the line at Mamdanni.
In fact, both publications said he has no experience. This
agenda reads like a turbo charge version of the Vlasio's
dismaying mayoralty, et cetera, et cetera. One other shocker to
me which I made a note of, that Mam Donnie

(01:09:22):
prevailed at every income level, doing best with high income voters.
So if you're a high income voter paying fifty two
percent of your income to the government in one form
or another, either state, local, or federal, that you want
more taxes high income New Yorker's voter for Mam Donnie,
how's that possible?

Speaker 6 (01:09:43):
Well, these are the super wealthy elite that you know,
they don't have to deal with this. They're not going
to be the guys going They don't buy their own groceries,
so they're never going to the city run grocery source
that ma'am Donnie talks about. These people don't take the boss.
So sure you know, ma'am Donnie's going to have a
chief grocer that they don't care about that the poor
people are going to serve because there won't be any food.

(01:10:04):
They're not going to be riding on the bus with
all the criminally insane people that are already you know,
loose on the streets of New York. Now we're just
going to allow them to pile into the buses and
hurt people. But these super wealthy people, they don't have
to deal with it. Sure, no one likes paying more taxes,
but you know, these are the people that don't give
the charity. This is statistically proven that the higher income

(01:10:27):
secularists do not give the charity. Is generally something that
you see from working class, middle class people of faith.
They're the people that actually support local charity, and they
think it's the government's job. The rich people think it is,
so you know, they don't care if Uncle Sam takes
a little bit more from their gazillion dollars that they
have in the bank. But you know, they're taking baths

(01:10:48):
and gold bars like Scrooge McDuff over there, and they
and they don't care. They don't care that the city
is going to because they're they're walled off. They live
in the Upper west Side, Upper East Side, they're they're
they're wealthy. They don't care. They're never going to be
touched by these cerebral policies. This is going to come
and you know, we were sending the arm on this
multiple times throughout the year that these socialist policies that

(01:11:11):
Mam Doonnie is pushing are going to fall squarely on
the working poor, particularly black and Hispanic people in New York.
That they're going to be the ones that have to
deal with him cutting the police, They're going to have
to deal with he's shutting down the charter schools and
you know, instead of even talking about any semblance of

(01:11:31):
school choice. These are the people that are going to
feel it directly, whereas the rich people are not going
to feel it directly. So of course they're going to
vote for him. They're playing with the house's money.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
How about this one? Thirty nine percent of New York
has said he's up for the job. Forty seven percent
say he's not up to the job. And he's going
to win as basket of goodies, free bus, fair, free childcare,
rent phrases, what you'll make apartments more expensive, by the way,
and also free groceries can't be done. Sixty percent of
the voter said raising taxes will hurt the economy. So

(01:12:03):
your column says, among other things, in other words, the
majority of New Yorker's voted for a man who they
believe can't do the job, will pursue measures up, will
hurt the economy, and we'll promote policies that are unrealistic.
Any one, can you expl Can you square that circle?

Speaker 6 (01:12:21):
Yeah? You know, that's that's the tough one. I think
it has to be a combination of these these people
that are just voting based on the idea, Oh look
at me, I'm so progressive. I'm voting for a Muslim socialist.
And then you've got also this sort of Again, I

(01:12:41):
think it was much deeper. The Homo made enemies when
he was covering. He was there for a long time
here a lot of things. I mean, this is a
guy that famously said that pro life people don't belong
in New York, that you should not live in New
York and you need to leave. So yeah, I can
kind of see where there would definitely be some resentment.

(01:13:01):
And you know, this isn't even going into his whole
debacca with the nursing homes, like that's probably the worst
thing that he ever did. I could definitely see that
there probably was a much deeper anti Cuomo strand than
a lot of the pundits, a lot of the political
class gave any credence like it's a Cuomo. They're kind

(01:13:22):
of like the Kennedy's. Everyone will just vote for him
once I see the name, and that clearly didn't happen here.
I think that probably is a little bit of that
going on in these figures as well. You have all
these people saying, yeah, have not these policies are going
to be bad. We don't think he's up for the job.
This is he's just going to be a wreck. But
somehow we still get fifty percent of the vot Like,
those numbers just don't square, and so it probably does

(01:13:45):
come down to a little bit, a little bit like
I think these analogies are a little overblown, but similar
to Trump and twenty sixteen verse, Hillary was like, you know,
we just everyone despised Hillary so much. It was very
hard for the Democrats to even mount any sort of
effective challenge to Trump because he was popular, he was personable. Yeah,

(01:14:08):
he didn't have any of the Clinton baggage. I think
there probably probably was a little bit more Cuomo baggage
in this case.

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
Now Jews from mon Donnie is like chickens for KFC
and they have the idea that one third of Jews
want Mom Donnie, who believes that on Maas and Hesbal
are not terrorist groups, who believes in globalizing Intovada and Jews.
One third of Jews Ne York City voted for him.
That's incredible. And so when this is get out your

(01:14:35):
crystal ball before I talk about what's going on with
Cornell University and shutting off funding and now they've reached
a deal. When these policies fail in one to two years,
and when taxes cannot be raised because the governor will
not allow it, when opening up the jails, no bail bond,
homelessness on all the buses, the grocery stores are being eluded,
police are demoralized.

Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
Who's he going to blame?

Speaker 6 (01:15:00):
Who isn't he gonna blame? This is gonna be everyone's fault.
This is going to be definitely a Governor Hochal's fault,
definitely President Trump's fault. At the very minimum, those two
are going to be the first one stone under the bus.
It's probably gonna be the rich people because they fled
New York because they didn't want to pay his ridiculous

(01:15:21):
what was like fifty two percent income tax all a
big Wall Street. They fled and went to Miami in Dallas,
and they left us in the lurch, Like that's where
this is going to go. It doesn't end happily. Socialism
doesn't work. It never worked, it never will work. It's
impossible for its work. It's a terrible concept. Anyone that
argues otherwise, I'm sorry. I want whatever you're drinking though,

(01:15:43):
because if you can look at that and say somehow, yeah,
that'll work. No, it never worked, it never has work,
it never will work. It's a terrible concept. And eventually
what happens, as Margaret Thatcher said, they eventually run out
of other people's and at that point he's gonna start, uh,

(01:16:03):
you know, it's gonna start trickling down. Uh. The taxes
are gonna start going up for the upper middle class
and the middle class, and then yeah, people are just
gonna flee the city and no one's gonna be left.
It's gonna be this. Uh, it's it's gonna be it's
still being a healthscape. Bill. Let's that's what we're shooting for.
That that's really what it looks like, uh Mandanni wants

(01:16:25):
for New York. And it also looks like that's what
New York, over half of New York wants for itself. Well,
these New Yorkers came out and force for man Donnie. Uh,
he's got a mandate at this point, he's got fifty
percent of the boat. Like that's that's huge. That's just huge.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
So it's well, I mean Trump bought to come out
and say, let's uh, let's shut down the government. If
Trump said shut down the government, the Democrats would open
up the government because they all suffered from Trump derangement syndrome. Lastly,
Cornell has struck and you're in the middle of there,
of the of the of the Ivy League in which
they practice anti Samism, anti Christian bias for a long time.

(01:17:03):
And Cornell is one of many in Anthaica, New York
that have now said, we'll pay a thirty million dollars
fine and quit discriminating against Jews and Catholics and Christians.
We're going to have merit based admissions, and we're going
to get rid of professors who are anti Semites. I
don't believe that will happen. They'll simply call it by
some other means and continue they want to play out
the clock. But Is it true that the IVY League,

(01:17:27):
like Columbia, your town there of New York City's rampant
with anti Semitism and they've finally agreed to pay money
to stop what they're doing, but they're going to run
out the clock, keep doing it. Call it something else,
waiting for the Democrats to take over? Am I being
a pessimist or am I being a realist?

Speaker 6 (01:17:45):
I I thank you being a realist, Sayer Bill. I mean,
just speaking one of the fun stats that they're like
Columbia was like trying to throw around last year in
the spring of twenty twenty four. It was like, oh,
you know, the the rice and the pros and the
anti Semitism is much worse at NYU. And Okay, to
a certain extent that that was true. But the difference

(01:18:07):
is if you look at the two campuses. NYU is
like on the streets, right, so you can just be
walking down, you know, fourteenth Street, and you'll just stumble
into NYU's campus and it was like, oh, I thought
I was gonna, you know, go into the deli, but
here's the you know, whatever arts building it is here.
Colombia is walled off, so all of the protesters there

(01:18:28):
were actually from the university. So when the cops actually
eventually did start going in there and saying, hey, guys,
it's probably not a good thing for you to be
mean to the Jewish kids, right NYU. Most of the
people that they arrested weren't even from the school. They
were just like, you know, people wandering around like, oh, look,
here's a safe place for us to congregate and spew
anti Semitism, whereas Colombia, it was mostly just the students

(01:18:51):
there because it's separated from the rest of the city,
so it's you know, it's ridiculous, and Colombia was terrible.
They try like, oh, it's we're not really the bad guys.
Other the people are wors like, no, come on like that,
that just doesn't fly. You shouldn't be spewing hate, like
that's just wrong, right uh. And and we've seen this

(01:19:12):
time and time again, and Bill, I'll be honest with you,
they may not even take that long. They may not
even need to run out of the clock here. I'm
sure there'll be some sort of federal judge that comes
in there and says, oh, Cornell, you can do whatever
the hell you want. You don't have to follow any
of these rules. I mean, look at this. You got
to judge now telling Trump that, well, this is how
you have to spend the money. And this is on
top of you already had to judge over the summer

(01:19:32):
saying well you can't defund planned parenthood. Judges don't have
any places in spending that's in the constitutionally. You guys
have nothing, absolutely nothing to do with spending. And no, sorry,
we get to now right spending policy, Come on, like
I we gotta get We gotta have a serious wake
up call here that these people are playing for keeps.

(01:19:53):
They don't care about fixing this country. They clearly don't
care about human life, but particularly they are just rabid
for the ability to discriminate against people of faith, and
that's what they want to do. And the judges will
bail them out or like you said, the lefties, they'll
just keep running out the clock. And we got to
have a weak up call here. We got to really start.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
I hope, I have hope. I have faith, but I
always have faith. Sometimes I lose my hope.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
We got to run Michael Mcdonaldcatholic League dot org Religious
and Civil Rights for All Americans Michael McDonald, thanks for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

Speaker 6 (01:20:29):
Thank you, Michael, Thanks Billy, You're a great American.

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
Bill Cunningham on seven hundred Wilde Blind.

Speaker 11 (01:20:36):
For this year, residents will have access to a clear
and accurate tracker during winter events that not just documents
where trucks have been, but the exact treatments that each
truck has done to our streets.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
I see you, you see me, I see you.

Speaker 8 (01:20:53):
I'm watching you.

Speaker 1 (01:20:58):
Hello, Piet, and I'm broadcasting godlck this morning. The cars
and trucks are slipping and sliding all over the place
in Cincinnati. But we have computer models.

Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
Everyone knows exactly how many ounces of salt on each road,
and it's generated by the cloud Cony, pure cloud. We
know exactly. Of course, it didn't work today, none of it. No,
it worst time it worked. The next time, we have
hope and faith.

Speaker 1 (01:21:28):
Harrison.

Speaker 12 (01:21:28):
Harrison is coming down with this. Streets weren't slick at
all or at that time for a crisis.

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
I want to bring this up to you about your
friend Joe Burrow. Yes, how about this?

Speaker 8 (01:21:39):
His twenty one day window is activated, sake.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
And he said he's going to be on the on
the mound, so to speak, on Thanksgiving Day at eight
twenty in Baltimore, two and a half weeks from now.

Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
Is that possible? I would have thought it was impossible.

Speaker 12 (01:21:53):
Every doctor person we had on the show, everybody I
talked who said, this is a really odd, weird injury
that has a lot of nuance to it, and it's
going to take a long time. And for whatever reason,
I guess he attacked the rehab and God blessed him,
and to is feeling pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
Are you ready for the big question? What is the question?

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
This Sunday, they're at Pittsburgh, they're three and six. Do
they win that game?

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
Yeah? Your name?

Speaker 8 (01:22:19):
I think they can Pittsburgh crappern Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
Then they're at home against New England and New England's
the best revenge for last year revenge, but in New
England the best team in the FC. And who wins
that game? Rock Without Burrow?

Speaker 8 (01:22:36):
I think the Patriots went in here.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
And say that'd be four and seven.

Speaker 8 (01:22:40):
Can I say something?

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
Please?

Speaker 12 (01:22:42):
Go ahead, go say about Joe Burrow And I'm going
to say this. I hope he watched Joe flack Goo
and learned how to advance at the quarterback position. I
feel like Joe Burrow has constantly been the guy who
the same guy who came in the league who did
not learn that his health.

Speaker 8 (01:23:00):
Is priority number one.

Speaker 12 (01:23:01):
There's no pass completion, there's not even frankly, a game
that is worth him putting himself at risk. So hopefully
he watched Joe Flacco. Anytime there'd be some pressure, Joe Flacco, Boom,
that ball go right down at the feet of the
d lineman and we live to fight another day. Burrow
needs to learn that or he's got every single year
is going to be like this. I know, but let

(01:23:23):
me let me say this go ahead. Every game that
Joe Burrow played in, certainly in the last two years,
it was always like this offensive line stinks, he can't
protect him. Why can't we protect him the same offensive line?
Did anybody talk bad about him?

Speaker 6 (01:23:36):
Last?

Speaker 12 (01:23:37):
Since it's been like fine, have we gotten new? Have
we gotten new offensive lineup? So you get my point right,
Maybe he's got to learn how to like it. There's
a thing called hero ball where and you respect us.
Why people love Joe Burrow, That's what I love him,
because he never wants to give up on a play.

Speaker 8 (01:23:55):
That's an admirable.

Speaker 12 (01:23:56):
Quality, right, but you must learn in this in the
professal ranks, unlike any other rank. At the quarterback position,
your health is If you're a franchise quarterback, your health
is priority number one. And that ball goes into the
dirt or twelve feet into the stands.

Speaker 1 (01:24:11):
Does Burrow learn?

Speaker 8 (01:24:12):
Does not?

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
Long though he's not learning, Does he learned now?

Speaker 8 (01:24:14):
I hope so?

Speaker 12 (01:24:15):
And maybe the fact that he had the injury that's
the thing to be like, well, I'm not quite as mobile,
and maybe he learned. And in that sense, him getting
injured could be a positive to take from this whole experience.

Speaker 8 (01:24:27):
If he didn't learn it, then it's going to be
the same thing.

Speaker 12 (01:24:29):
And we're gonna talk about how bad the offensive line
is even though it's the same as Joe Flaccos and
he's gonna get hurt again.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Are you ready for the big question?

Speaker 6 (01:24:35):
What is it?

Speaker 8 (01:24:36):
Does that make any sense there?

Speaker 6 (01:24:37):
Or no?

Speaker 1 (01:24:37):
Not really?

Speaker 6 (01:24:38):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
So let's see the Bengals are three and nine and
Burrow says I'm playing and you're a zach shualer the
three and nine. Do you then say you're not playing?
You're three and nine? We're not gonna do this, Joe,
and he's not going to play again until September of
next year, when he's almost.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
Thirty years old.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
Does zach Shula have the coyones to say to Joe Borrow,
the season's done, relaxed, take it easy, learn from the
foot of the master. Wacko Flacco watch him? What does
Burrow do? Demand a trade?

Speaker 8 (01:25:11):
Where did that come from?

Speaker 6 (01:25:12):
Now?

Speaker 8 (01:25:12):
Where did that come from?

Speaker 1 (01:25:13):
In the head? I just made it up.

Speaker 4 (01:25:15):
Okay.

Speaker 12 (01:25:17):
I think if the Bengals are three and whatever and
are completely out of it, do you do you do
it that?

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
I tell him, no, you're not playing because of the toe,
the calf, the knee, and the wrist. The wrist, the knee,
the calf and the toe. You know what I'm saying? Yes,
and something else going to get in line with this thing?
What's left his head and his shoulders about the only
one left and his that's unless.

Speaker 12 (01:25:38):
He is like absolutely perfect. It feels the same he
did on the opening day of camp. I don't think
you do it. If they're out of it now, you
could argue, you can't mean. Anybody could argue. My blind
dog could argue that the offense is not the problem,
Joe Flackling. The offense is not the problem. It's the defense.
Have they got any new players.

Speaker 8 (01:25:59):
Over the are we no?

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Is your dog blind?

Speaker 12 (01:26:03):
Basically, he get that my dog is an absolute miracle.
Elvis he Elvis he will be if he makes it
this far, which is a question. If he makes it
to December first, he'll be sixteen years old, golden triever,
sixteen years old.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
Dog years. That's a long time.

Speaker 12 (01:26:16):
I told somebody else I was on a on a
plane whatever a couple weeks ago, and you know, trying
to kill time. You know, you have like just stupid
pictures of whatever on your phone, pictures your dog.

Speaker 8 (01:26:27):
I'm getting to that.

Speaker 12 (01:26:28):
So I was leading some old pictures and I just
was going back and it's like all the way back
to like twenty twenty two. I have like the hey,
this is probably the last picture of Elvis. I better
capture this moment, like going back like three years, and
the sucker just keeps living. He's a testament to great
joan great environment and strength.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
He is filled with us. You didn't answer the question.

Speaker 8 (01:26:48):
What is the question?

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
Do you have? Bench Joe Burrows yay or nay? I
need an answer I.

Speaker 8 (01:26:53):
Think how you put it bench him. I don't think
you're benching him.

Speaker 12 (01:26:57):
You're just saying, hey, look, this probably doesn't make sense
for you to come back when you've already been out
this long.

Speaker 8 (01:27:03):
Then what well?

Speaker 6 (01:27:04):
Then?

Speaker 8 (01:27:05):
I mean you're the head coach.

Speaker 12 (01:27:06):
You your job is to make decisions that are best
for not just this season, but for the entire franchise.
And you got to determine is it best for the franchise,
and is the best for his job? Is the best
for everything for Burt to come back if he determines
answers yes, any plays.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
I've seeing what's happening with major League Baseball, with the
pitches thrown for ten times, we.

Speaker 8 (01:27:26):
Have a we have a guess I'm gonna talk about that.

Speaker 12 (01:27:30):
All these like weird bets that that that can happen,
these parlays and all these weird what do you call them?
Prop bets you can bet on like what the next
pitch is going to be, how many balls are striking. Yes,
that is creating this problem because it's so easy to cheat.
And if people weren't so so greedy and make make
these humongous bets, this is some enthralling stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:27:53):
I'm saying, isn't pay attention? Yeah, yeah, right here.

Speaker 8 (01:27:57):
But you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:27:58):
Like I do know what you mean.

Speaker 8 (01:28:01):
What is the question?

Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
Do you play yay or name?

Speaker 8 (01:28:04):
I just answered the question.

Speaker 12 (01:28:06):
I gave you a substance of answer and you just
ignored it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
So give me some spots answer you answer the question?

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
Will he they stood reporters a proud service of your
local Tame Star Heating air Conditioning dealers, Tame Star Quala
you could feel in southeastern Indiana called Joe Eckstein at
X time Heating and Coolie at eight one, two, nine,
three to two, twenty twenty six. Such and for the
guy who hasn't played since Week two.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
After surgery on that turf toe.

Speaker 2 (01:28:34):
Joe Burrow is on the practice field as we speak,
in a limited capacity in the bubble.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
He's in the bubble.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
Today marks the twenty one day period, as Rock said,
during which he may begin limited practice and with the
team without counting against the fifty three man roster. What
did he say about the Thanksgiving Day game against the
Ravens quote.

Speaker 1 (01:28:54):
The Ravens way.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
All the more, He's eligible to be activated to the
roster during the twenty one day period, but he wouldn't
say if it's going to be If he's not going
to play Sunday, well, will you answer to somebody? Somebody
ask him that I'm going to ask him.

Speaker 8 (01:29:07):
So it's the game after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 12 (01:29:09):
Whatever that Sunday is is the target.

Speaker 1 (01:29:11):
I don't know. Well maybe before that, I don't know.
They have Pittsburgh, then they have New England at home,
then they go to Baltimore. Then I think they'll play
the eighty eighty five Bears at some point. So I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:29:22):
College basketball Santa Clara and Xavier tonight at eight right
here on seven hundred WLW, both teams two.

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
And zero on the year MLS. The Orange and.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
Blue will face line Messy mess and Inter Miami CF
and the Conference semi final, single elimination game TQL Stadium Sunday,
November twenty third, at five pm. They're going to play
for the MLS Cup. That's on Christmas.

Speaker 1 (01:29:47):
MESSI, what about MESSI coming to town? What about?

Speaker 12 (01:29:51):
And that the same day as New England All hell's
breaking loose downtown the same.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
One o'clock this New England and the yeah yeah, the
New York Football Giants.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Brian Day Ball is out out as far of my
my uh after the team is coming true.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
I blew another double digit le Sunday in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
They were leading by at least four with ten points
with under four to go, and they blow it again
for a second time.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
They bowled Mike Kafka. They're gone.

Speaker 2 (01:30:23):
Kafka as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator for
the rest of the season.

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
The Jaints are two and eight. It be worse now.

Speaker 12 (01:30:31):
You remember I said way back when that Brian dave
Ball would be fired by December.

Speaker 1 (01:30:36):
You did.

Speaker 8 (01:30:37):
Now the other half of what I said, I don't know.

Speaker 12 (01:30:39):
I said Bill Belichick would next year become the head
coach of the Giants. I'm a little less confident about that.
But but the Tarrios you might. I know you know
this because you you love this topic more than anything.
The Tarios are four and five, okay, So I the
bet between you and I was they would make a Bowl,

(01:31:00):
which means they would win six games. They have three
games to win two they used to do it. They
just beat a really good Stanford team and they beat Syracuse,
Syracuse and Stanford back to back. They played wake Forest
this week. It was six and three. Wake for is
actually pretty good. They just beat Virginia six seven six
seven six. Then they got Duke who just lost the
Yukon last week. They got NC Day who's five and four,

(01:31:23):
so at least he could he could possibly win two
and go to a ball like what's the meaning of
six seven six seven six seven?

Speaker 8 (01:31:29):
Knowing this? I don't know you persually was started by
like a like a rapper got from the trice a
right and some others. There's a trice?

Speaker 1 (01:31:38):
Is that gonna be the name of your album? Six
seven six seven six seven? Yes?

Speaker 12 (01:31:42):
So when I was a kid there was another number
everybody laughed about but had you know?

Speaker 8 (01:31:46):
But now the six seven things? Where the kids go
with these days?

Speaker 1 (01:31:49):
What's on the big show today? We got to find
out more about class A.

Speaker 12 (01:31:52):
So Eddie is out today. I'm with Donna today, Donna,
Dona d not.

Speaker 1 (01:31:58):
A deer, Dona p a d on the date down
to D down to d downa PA.

Speaker 8 (01:32:03):
Dangerous down a d right out of the gate.

Speaker 12 (01:32:06):
We have an expert from Tarleton stage at police said
guy and the government shutdown?

Speaker 8 (01:32:10):
Who's the blame? Seg is going to be solved?

Speaker 1 (01:32:13):
How about the party voting to shut down the government.

Speaker 12 (01:32:15):
Yeah maybe yeah, yeah, or the party that didn't want
to add anything to the bill, they just say, hey,
let's just keep.

Speaker 8 (01:32:20):
It away, and now they're going to pass it after
the election.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
Exactly.

Speaker 12 (01:32:24):
I feel like this is going to come back to
hunt them. I predict that as well. Right out or
then at four o'clock we have Mark Elfin bind is
a gambling expert, and to talk about the MLB.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
Right there on CNN right there to.

Speaker 12 (01:32:37):
Cleveland Guardians, Pitchers indicted betting probe. And then five o'clock
we have Steve Cotton on the spending habits of gen Zers.

Speaker 1 (01:32:46):
Well those pictures. It's making twenty million dollars a year, and.

Speaker 12 (01:32:51):
He's like, if you make a twenty million years, I mean,
would you would you risk that to make a couple
hundred grand?

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
This is so much worse than what Pete Rose did.
They'll be suspended for life, hand go to federal prison,
which is what Pete Rose got for betting on the
Reds to win. They're they're fixing the games to lose.

Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
What does that mean? I mean, you see some move
that goes back to twenty twenty three, A lot of pitches.

Speaker 8 (01:33:15):
But some of the ones that were like, you know,
were you bet?

Speaker 12 (01:33:18):
He throws a ball there, hit like ten feet in
front of plate, like three bounces.

Speaker 1 (01:33:23):
That's the ball.

Speaker 8 (01:33:24):
Oh what happened?

Speaker 1 (01:33:26):
Then happened there? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
But you can't fix NFL because too many players determine
the outcome. You don't know definitively what's gonna happen. Like
in golf, I can miss a ten foot putt, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 12 (01:33:36):
Yeah, And a pitcher is in control of the game.
I gave bobs and flows how he I can throw
a ball? Segment, get me out of the student's report.
You didn't answer the question six to seven?

Speaker 1 (01:33:47):
What is the meaning?

Speaker 6 (01:33:47):
Six?

Speaker 8 (01:33:48):
No one knows?

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
The go ahead?

Speaker 2 (01:33:49):
Will the In honor of a snowy Monday here into
tri State, we leave you with the immortal words of
the stewed report.

Speaker 8 (01:33:57):
Because, as we all know, elections matter.

Speaker 6 (01:34:00):
Yeah, we were.

Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
And when folks both, they order what they want, and
in this case they got what they asked for, So
lucky we were. Segment. Thank you, Yes, sir, you didn't
