Speaker 1 (00:07):
By Billy cunning in the Great America. Lots of big
things happening at Columbus and elsewhere. And of course Representative
Adam Byrd is in leadership of the House, and Adam
Byrd welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first
of all, before we get off on these important issues,
once again, Cincinnati head at the Privy Bar and over
the run at Elm Street. Another mass shooting. Dozens of
(00:27):
shots fired. I think three or four people were wound it.
Fortunately everyone's got a bad shot. They made it to
the hospitals alive. Cincinnati this year is going to have
something like twenty to twenty five thousand shots fired. We're
gonna have four to five hundred people wound it. We're
gonna have about one hundred people killed. The mayor is
firing the chief of police because she refuses to follow
(00:48):
supposedly his orders, causing the mayhem. We got all hell
breaking loose. So I ask you this question. We have
eight large cities in Ohio, so to speak, and the
three largest wins the three seas Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati
are fully part of the far left Radical Democratic Party,
which is to fund the police, make it difficult to
(01:11):
arrest anybody for any offense. Don't pull over people committing
traffic violations. And if guns are being used repeatedly, blame
some inanimate metal object called a gun, and don't blame
the perpetrator. We have soft judges all over the major
cities in this country, and much as I've said Adam
Bird around the country, we can't have a great nation
(01:31):
if every major American city is in collapse. Well, you
can't send your kids to school. The school systems think
the judges are freeing criminals like the ones in Chicago
who set the poor woman on fire. He was arrested
seventy two times, convicted forty nine times. He's fifty years old,
setting subway riders on fire. We have la which is
(01:54):
in total economic collapse, and New York City just elected
a communists. Put all that together other Can America be
a great nation when our cities are in collapse? And
can Ohio be a great state with Columbus Cleveland, Cincinnati?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
What do you say, hey, Bill, It's a wonderful to
be on your program, It's an honor to be on
your program, and that that question continues to come up
over the last decade, as we've seen the degradation of
our cities and and so yeah, it's really said, Bill,
because you and I love Cincinnati. We've been from this
area the since that even though we don't live in
(02:28):
downtown Cincinnati, it's the hub of so many things. It's
where our Bengals and Reds play, it's where the air
and off Broadway shows are. There's so many great things
happening downtown. And it's to say it that that people
don't feel confident to go downtown and it's affecting the
businesses downtown that that people from Claremont, Butler and Warren
County don't want to go down there anymore. But can
(02:49):
we be great? You know in Ohio? You know, I
think we can because you know, we're we're trying as
a state legislature to make sure that laws are applicable
to every everywhere that you might live in the state
of Ohio. Although all we do is create law, built
that's somebody who's a mayor or you know, somebody in
an executive branch has actually enforceable laws that we lay down.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And in fact, I had on the other day the
Speaker of the House, Matt Huffman, about marijuana. We got
all these fancy laws about you can't smoke marijuana and
public can't smoke in your car, you can't have a
cheech and shong event happening. But walking around Cincinnati you
smell marijuana everywhere. I was in Loveland at a very
fine restaurant there having a little bit of salmon and
(03:33):
marijuana is waffling all over downtown Loveland as if it's permissible.
And you pass these laws in marijuana. In fact, as
I said here, I don't know what the laws are
on CBD and infused drinks. I know what you passed
that you're going to look out at maybe a year
from December to see what the Feds do. But we
have ubiquitous marijuana use, ubiquitous CBD and THC use of
(03:55):
infused cans of beverages that have in tox against them.
The kids and still buy right now, and the ponykegs,
et cetera. And we have nail now. We have money
coming to high school sports. I can't imagine what the
quarterback of Saint X Fry could get on the open market.
X Rocky Boorman is going to have to start paying money.
(04:16):
Everywhere I look, I see opportunities where America is going
the wrong direction. And for those who believe that marijuana
is wrong, it's an intoxicant. It's a sketel one narcotic
according to the FEDS, similar to cocaine and heroin and methanphetamine.
How do you respond to a father living in Kenton
County or Butler County, or Warren County or Clamont County
(04:39):
that is this not happy with the fact that you
legislators are approving more ubiquitous marijuana THHC used through beverages
and through more uses of intoxicating drugs. How do you
respond to Ohio making legal in a large sense a
skeltu one narcotic described by the Feds. How do you
respond to that? Out of bird, I'll put you on
(05:01):
the spot, you know, how do you respond to that?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, we're the bill, which, by the way, bill is
still awaiting the signature of your friend and mine, Governor
de Wine. He's got to sign the bill. And as
soon as he signs the bill, it'll be ninety days
until it becomes effective. So we need him to sign
it yesterday and get that clock ticking. And this bill
would not permit what's going on for you in downtown
(05:24):
Loveland the other night. And as soon as that bill
becomes law, I have full faith and confidence that Chris Stratton,
the Claremont County Sheriff, he would enforce the law. He's
not going to allow that kind of thing to happen
in Loveland or anywhere in Clairemont County. And I suspect
the other sheriffs we'll do that as well. And so
you also talked about NIL bill. This is not the
work of the state legislature. This NIL stuff is the
(05:46):
work of OHSAA in Ohio, and it's got fraud and
problems written all over it. You and I know that
NIL has caused so many problems at the college level.
Why in the world would want this to happen at
the high school level. And what I would say to
that bill is stay tuned. There may be a bill
coming soon that would prohibit NIOL in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, we'll see what happens. You know, we get the
government we deserve. And I know many of the large
companies in downtown Cincinnati, the Kroger's, the Fifth Third Banks,
the p and Gs, Procter and Gambles is grossly expanding
their footprint in Mason. They kind of want to get
out of Dodge. Their employees are saying, it's not safe
down here. We don't want to be down here. We
(06:26):
want to get out. And Kroger is a large multinational
company worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but it's not
run by Cincinnatians anymore. Procter and Gambles not run by
Cincinnatians anymore. And we need a multifaceted approach to this.
Can you briefly tell the American people, Adam Bird, as
(06:49):
we sit here Monday afternoon, what is the status of
CBD infused THC drinks in the state of Ohio. If
Tony Bender after work wants to go somewhere and get
some can that intoxicating beverages in a can, what is
the status of law as we speak this Monday afternoon,
No change bill.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They're they're still permitted and and so we're we're definitely
taking a back seat and waiting for the federal government.
They have indicated that they are opposed to this and
that they're going to do something about it, and and
so yeah, these are really dangerous and and you know,
we should, uh, we should be limiting their use to adults.
We should be limiting the amount of of THC amount
(07:31):
that's in the drink. And so this all has to
be taken care of. And and yet it doesn't make
me feel good. But we're waiting for signals from the
from the federal government, and perhaps those signals are a
little mixed right now. But but we need to take
care of that.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well, when I speak to my favorite US senators, they
tell me there's no appetite in Washington to touch it
at all. That there's a large group of lawmakers who
don't like marijuana period. There's another group who loves it,
thinks is almost religious experiance. Then there's another group that says, well,
let's have it, but limit it. And just to make
it a Schedule one, there's Schedule three would require the
(08:07):
Congress to act, and they're stimy. They're not going to
act at all. You can't look at Washington for guidance
on anything. So the states are on their own. About
thirty seven states allow marijuana and the other thirteen do not.
And maybe that's the answer of federal system. Kind of
let the let the states run it now. Secondly, you
and many others were involved in the reapportionment about a
(08:28):
week or two ago. Explain where we are now with
the districts. I'm thinking about Southwest Ohio, the one held
by Landsman. What's the status of that? And since the
Democrats agreed, isn't it Isn't it like chisel and stone
at this point?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, you know what, when the Democrats agree on this, Willie,
you can't call it Gary mandering. They want to have
it both ways. They want to vote yes on it
and call it gairymandering. You can't have it both ways.
And so when you look at that seat, it's got
Green Township added to that seat, You've got Harrison added.
Those are reliably red areas. The reliably blue areas of
(09:08):
Hamberley Village have been taken out, and the really red,
reliable red area Clinton County has been added. Bill. This
is going to be very competitive. I think that Republicans
have a great shot at this, and we need more
Republicans in Washington, DC right now, so this is a
big step for Ohio. We've also made changes to the
(09:30):
Marcy Capture seat in the Toledo area, that is that's
going to have a Republican I am very much anticipating
twelve Republicans out of fifteen going to Congress from the
state of Ohio here in a year be will.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
What do you say to Americans angry about property taxes
because some older folks, especially on a fixed income, are
being priced out of their homes by property tax increases.
What do you say to them?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, well, this is certainly a big issue. And so
when you look at what we did, we passed four
bills last week, will it's unprecedented and consequential, the amount
of change and reform that we brought some property taxes
in Ohio. And that's part of the reason why places
like Kroger and others P and G are leading downtown
Cincinnati because of the tax structure structure income tax, sales tax,
(10:19):
property tax. They want out of places that's going to
tax them into oblivion. And so when you look at
these bills that we passed last week, the one that's
really important, though there's a couple of them, they limit
the tax growth property tax growth to the rate of inflation.
And here's one that not everybody knows about, Willie. We
are transferring money from the credit that we give to
(10:41):
the non business credit to owner occupied credit, which means
that if you live in the home that you are
paying taxes on, you actually live there, you're going to
go from two and a half percent credit on your
property taxes to fifteen percent. That is a huge jump, Willie,
and I think property tax pay who live in their
home are really going to feel something positive for them
(11:04):
in the next year.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Now say that again, because a guy like me, I
lived in my same house for twenty five years. I'm
a senior citizen on a fixed income. You know what
I'm saying. I can't make any more money than I make.
So does this benefit a poor man like me?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Absolutely so. Right now, you're the owner occupied credit in
Ohio is two and a half percent. You're getting a
two and a half percent of your property taxes is
paid by the state of Ohio for you. Well, over
four years, we are going to up that from two
and a half percent. We're going to gradually, over four
years up back to fifteen percent. That state to Ohio
is going to pay your property tax for you.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I like that. I'm starting to believe in government all
of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
All right, you go now too, we finally did something good.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Something good. Then thank you for coming on to clarify
everything and nothing THC. I think if an adult wants
they have an adult beverage at home and as THC
in and I say, hey, I'm at it. I don't
like the idea that people can walk around and smoke pot.
I don't like the idea that teenage boys and go
into a ponykeg and buy some of these beverages with
(12:08):
high THHC content and they're intoxicating. I don't like that
at all. I don't like the fact that the high
school kids can now get Niel money. I don't know
what Fry's worth. Its saying that's probably a lot of money.
In fact, I don't like a lot of aspects of
our life, but at least we try to govern our
own affairs. I have a long term concern that our
major cities are in complete collapse economically, religiously, educationally, and
(12:31):
until that changes, we can't be a great state or
a great nation when all of our major cities are
in collapse with crime, rampant drug use, homelessness. The homeless
camps are back in Cincinnati. I think it's a problem.
But Adam Bird, good luck in New Richmond.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, go ahead, thank you well. I was going to say,
Willie that this is the reason why places like Claremont, Butler,
and Warren are growing in population counties around Columbus, like
Pickaway and Union in Delaware County, they're growing because people
are fleeing Democrat policies and it's a big problem. And
so will I just you know, last week it was
(13:07):
a huge week in the state legislature. I mean, we
passed a bill last week it said no more turning in,
no more counting, have some key ballots after election day.
We increase the penalties for drug and human trafficking. We
require sex offenders to move away from their victim. We're
not going to allow mail order abortion pills anymore. We're
(13:27):
going to protect our prison guards better. And then also
if you're pulled over with probable cause, you've got to
turn over your driver's license really to the police officer.
So we're going to create and protect law and order
in Ohio. And we're for the people, and we want
to protect people, and we want to make Ohio a
great place to live.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We have islands of debauchery inside of a sea of tranquility.
We have the Blue Cities floating into a sea of tranquility,
and hopefully the voters in these areas have got to
understand what the results of their elections are. I can't
imagine Mayor Peer of All getting eighty one percent of
the vote, down from eighty three percent of the vote.
(14:05):
After his performance in office, the voters held him to
account from eighty three to eighty one percent, electing all
the same goofballs, the goofs who ran city council, the
same goofs are in charge once again. Adam Bird, I'm
coming to Claremont County. I love that new Mexican restaurant
kind of on the river. I like that place. And
you and I get together, maybe have a margarita one
(14:26):
day when they get two straws and suck it up together.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
What do you think you've come to Claremont County anytime? Willie?
And New Richmond's a great place. He's got some good
restaurants down there. And you know, I'm just saying, Willie,
if you're going to let more and more people leave
the hellhole of Cincinnati, please don't let him bring their
politics with them to Claremont. Brown, Claremont and Brown and
(14:48):
Butler and Warren, don't let them move out. Here if
they're going to bring the stuff that that's created problem
where they currently live.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
City Council or a bunch of goofs. All right, Tony
Tony Bender said enough is enough. Let's continue. Adam Bird,
you're the man. God bless you, and God bless Claremont County.
Thank you, Adam Bird. Keep doing what you're doing. Honor
to be with you, Bill, God bless America. City Council
or a bunch of goofs Bill Cunningham seven hundred WLW
By Billy cunning in the Great America. Lots of big
things happening at Columbus and elsewhere. And of course Representative
Adam Byrd is in leadership of the House, and Adam
Byrd welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first
of all, before we get off on these important issues,
once again, Cincinnati head at the Privy Bar and over

All right, you go now too, we finally did something good.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Something good. Then thank you for coming on to clarify
everything and nothing THC. I think if an adult wants
they have an adult beverage at home and as THC
in and I say, hey, I'm at it. I don't
like the idea that people can walk around and smoke pot.
I don't like the idea that teenage boys and go
into a ponykeg and buy some of these beverages with
(12:08):
high THHC content and they're intoxicating. I don't like that
at all. I don't like the fact that the high
school kids can now get Niel money. I don't know
what Fry's worth. Its saying that's probably a lot of money.
In fact, I don't like a lot of aspects of
our life, but at least we try to govern our
own affairs. I have a long term concern that our
major cities are in complete collapse economically, religiously, educationally, and
(12:31):
until that changes, we can't be a great state or
a great nation when all of our major cities are
in collapse with crime, rampant drug use, homelessness. The homeless
camps are back in Cincinnati. I think it's a problem.
But Adam Bird, good luck in New Richmond.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, go ahead, thank you well. I was going to say,
Willie that this is the reason why places like Claremont, Butler,
and Warren are growing in population counties around Columbus, like
Pickaway and Union in Delaware County, they're growing because people
are fleeing Democrat policies and it's a big problem. And
so will I just you know, last week it was
(13:07):
a huge week in the state legislature. I mean, we
passed a bill last week it said no more turning in,
no more counting, have some key ballots after election day.
We increase the penalties for drug and human trafficking. We
require sex offenders to move away from their victim. We're
not going to allow mail order abortion pills anymore. We're
(13:27):
going to protect our prison guards better. And then also
if you're pulled over with probable cause, you've got to
turn over your driver's license really to the police officer.
So we're going to create and protect law and order
in Ohio. And we're for the people, and we want
to protect people, and we want to make Ohio a
great place to live.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We have islands of debauchery inside of a sea of tranquility.
We have the Blue Cities floating into a sea of tranquility,
and hopefully the voters in these areas have got to
understand what the results of their elections are. I can't
imagine Mayor Peer of All getting eighty one percent of
the vote, down from eighty three percent of the vote.
(14:05):
After his performance in office, the voters held him to
account from eighty three to eighty one percent, electing all
the same goofballs, the goofs who ran city council, the
same goofs are in charge once again. Adam Bird, I'm
coming to Claremont County. I love that new Mexican restaurant
kind of on the river. I like that place. And
you and I get together, maybe have a margarita one
(14:26):
day when they get two straws and suck it up together.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
What do you think you've come to Claremont County anytime? Willie?
And New Richmond's a great place. He's got some good
restaurants down there. And you know, I'm just saying, Willie,
if you're going to let more and more people leave
the hellhole of Cincinnati, please don't let him bring their
politics with them to Claremont. Brown, Claremont and Brown and
(14:48):
Butler and Warren, don't let them move out. Here if
they're going to bring the stuff that that's created problem
where they currently live.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
City Council or a bunch of goofs. All right, Tony
Tony Bender said enough is enough. Let's continue. Adam Bird,
you're the man. God bless you, and God bless Claremont County.
Thank you, Adam Bird. Keep doing what you're doing. Honor
to be with you, Bill, God bless America. City Council
or a bunch of goofs Bill Cunningham seven hundred WLW
