Speaker 1 (00:07):
By Billy Cunningham, the Great America. Of course, this is
election today, election afternoon. Yours truly intends on voting about
three to four o'clock. Not much on the ballot, but
I will do my constitutional duty to vote, joining you,
and I alist a man in charge of elections in
the state of Ohio. Frank LaRose, the second cousin of
Buddy L. Rosa. Franklrosa, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And as we sit here early on Tuesday afternoon, any problems,
(00:31):
any difficulties, how are we looking?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
But it's an important election. Not everybody necessarily is paying
attention to that, but these are votes that can have
a big impact on your community, quality of life and
that kind of thing. And so you should get out
and make your voice heard. You're not going to impact
any lines or that kind of thing. You'll get a
sticker on your way out the door. Here's another thing, Willie.
I run into people that say I'm not going to
(00:57):
vote in this local election because I don't know, I
don't want to guess, right, Okay, that's not a good excuse.
You go to our website vote Ohio dot gov. You
can cheat on the test, you can look at exactly
what's going to be on your ballot. This is what
Lauren and I did last night. We put the kids
to bed. I printed off what's called the sample ballot,
where we saw exactly what's going to be on our ballot.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
And we sat there as.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
A couple and we talked about our choices, and now
we're ready to go and well informed and we know
what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
That makes no sense at all, because I often say
that if you wake up on Tuesday this morning, and
you say, is the election this Tuesday or next Tuesday?
Or has the election already taken place? In other words,
shall I use the term ill informed? And I know
the media says you got to vote, you got No,
you don't have to vote if you don't know what
you're voting for, if you don't know what the issues are,
(01:45):
if you don't know the pros and cons of each issue.
Don't waste your time and cancel the ballot of someone
who's informed. Do you agree or not?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I think if you do a little bit of research,
you can cast an informed vote. And give you an example,
I didn't know which candidates for city council were the
Conservatives who share my values because I didn't follow that
all that closely. But I did a little bit of research.
I saw which ones were endorsed by the County Republican Party,
which ones had taken stances that align with the things
(02:16):
I care about, And now I'm an informed voter. And
so you know, I think that with a few minutes
of effort, a little bit of googling, a little bit
of checking their own website or what the newspaper's candidate
guide says, or whatever else, you can be an informed voter.
And it's worth doing because these elections come down to
a small margin. In many cases, local elections can often
(02:38):
come down to just a handful of votes. Hech We
have tie votes every year somewhere in the state that
have to be determined by a coin flip. Don't be
that person that wakes up on Wednesday morning and realizes
that a Bolshevik has just been elected to your school
board because you didn't bother to go vote and it
was determined by a single vote.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
That's critical. Yeah, I don't care how busy you are.
You can go online today's world, you can do it.
Twenty years ago. You couldn't do it if you op
up twenty years ago and said who's running? I don't know.
How do you find? Well, I don't know. But today
the Encyclopedia Britannica, all the information in the world is
on my right home. I left it in my hand.
(03:18):
And if you don't take it ten minutes to find
out who I'm voting for, we get the government we deserve.
And that worries me too.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Well, consider this.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
It's a kind of a tale of two different years.
If you look at the even number years twenty twenty,
twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four, it's been absolutely record
breaking turnout. So this nonsense where the liberals say, I
want to suppress the vote. If that's my objective, I'm
really bad at it. We don't want to suppress anything.
We've had massive turnouts in those even number years. But
then you go one year later to a year like
(03:50):
twenty twenty five and it may be single digits or
low double digits. That's a shame because it matters who
lives in the White House.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We all know that.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
But what probably matters just as much, maybe more, is
who works at the courthouse or the schoolhouse or city hall.
When it comes to your quality of life, the safety
of your community. Heck, the schools that our children are
being educated in. This year is the year we make
those decisions. And you've got to make your voice heard.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Frank LeRose, you're making sense. I live in a community
that's safe and sound with good schools. However, we have
a race for the Sycamore Township trustees. We have a
school board race inding Hill school boards. There's one or
two school issues. I want to pump up as much
as I can in Deer Park Community schools for what
they've done. And so all politics is local. It may
(04:37):
be great if things are good or bad in New
York City, but damn it, I live in Sycamore Township.
I live in Kenwood, and I want my community where
I live to be the best. And the off year
elections is when we decide those things.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Correct every single election here, I give you a prediction.
I can tell you who's going to win today. In
any race, it's the candidate who gets more of their
supporters to go out to the polls. It's always going
to be that way. And so whether you live in
a city that Leans Republican or Leans Democrat, there's no
such thing as a long shot race in a local election,
(05:09):
if people just bother to show up.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
What percent Frank Lerosa, you're in charge of elections about,
give me your crystal ball prediction in the state of
Ohio overall? What percent of Ohio? When's it going to
vote today? If anyone you know.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Here's why it's really hard to tell, because it's so localized.
You may have one community where there's a really hot
race for mayor, or people are all hyped up about
the school board race or the levy or whatever else,
and you may have massive turnout. The next town over
it may be a complete sleeper and people aren't really
all that engaged. So it's hard to tell. I can
tell you what we've seen already for early voting, about
(05:46):
four hundred thousand. In fact, the number is three hundred
and ninety nine nine and eighteen. That's how many people
participated in early voting. We know that right there in
Hamilton County we've had a decent turnout through early voting
as well. It was the number of early voting ballots
counted nineteen, two hundred and twenty nine. That's how many
(06:06):
people voted early in Hamilton County. But we also know
there's a lot of outstanding absentee ballots. What does that
mean about fifty thousand people throughout the state that have
requested their absente ballot and haven't returned it yet. And
so if you're that guy that has your absentee ballots
sitting on your kitchen table or sitting on the dashboard
of your car, it's too late to mail it. You
can't take it to your voting location. At this point.
(06:29):
You got to get it down to your county Board
of Elections by seven thirty, and it's worth it. Take
a drive down to your county Board of Elections and
submit that ballot so that again you can make sure
your voice is heard.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Frank LeRose, your deal was a facts ideal with hyperbole.
Let's say there's twelve million people who live in the
state of Ohio. It is not approximately correct approximately approximately.
I want to hold you do this. How many adults
eighteen and over eleven the state of Ohio? Is it
nine million? Three million kids in school?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well near eight point eight points? Because I know the
eligible population of voters in Ohio. We're already at like
ninety three ninety four percent of them that are registered
to vote, and we have seven point eight million registered voters,
So the total number of eligible adults over eighteen who
are US citizens has to be in the low eights.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So let's say there's eight million people that could vote,
and of that number, about seven point five million or register,
which is fantastic. And then as far as the turnout,
I talk about Hamilton County or the city of Cincinnati,
we got major problems. You may know this if down
the road you become a senator or a congressman, or
a governor or the president, you're gonna have to deal
(07:41):
with the city of Cincinnati, which is a complete meltdown.
And I'm told by Sherry Polland to the Board of
Elections that the turnout this year may be as high
as twenty five percent, And so that means that thirteen
percent of the registered voters are going to decide the
outcome of this election. That means eighty seven percent or not.
What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think that it's problematic. And again, I think part
of this is that if you flip on your TV
or you go to your favorite social media account, you're
going to see all kinds of chatter about every single
damn thing that happens in Washington, DC. We seem to
be focused on federal issues. I get why they're impactful,
and people lose track of how important local offices are.
(08:24):
Local government is. And again look at our beloved Queen City.
And again I think you know this. I know and
love Cincinnati very well. My dad went to UC. I've
spent a lot of time down there. I was just
down there knocking on doors for Corey Bowman last weekend
because I think he's the right man for the job,
who's finally going to turn this great American city around
and let it be what it was always meant to be,
and that is a thriving place where families can live
(08:45):
and work and raise a family. It's not that right now,
but you know, we need more people to actually get
out and make their voices hurd There are more Republicans
in Hamilton County than almost any other county in the state.
The problem is they're outnumbered. If they actually bother to
go up and vote today, they could flip the Natty.
It's a very real possibility that we could put a
(09:06):
Republican in office in the mayor's office in the city
of Cincinnati. What a tremendous thing that would be.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Now, secondly, we have a situation. You were on the
reapportionment board. You were one of the seven to carve
up the districts. Can you put a period on the
sentence goes to Democrats and the Republicans agreed to carve
up the congressional districts number one to my correct and
number two. What was the goal?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, So there was a unanimous and bipartisan vote on
this in the re districting Commission. And I think that
when you have a vote like that, both sides are
going to have something they like something they don't like
about it. I don't think anybody loves the process or
the way that the process plays out, but it was
at least a result of consensus building and compromising that
kind of thing. Here's the bottom line. My goal was
(09:58):
to go in there and make sure that first of all,
we complied with the Constitution. We did that. Second of all,
that we create districts that relatively mirror the political leanings
of the state of Ohio, and again I believe that
we did that. And then third, putting on my hat
as a Republican, I want to make sure that I'm
not putting my party in a disadvantage or candidly want
(10:19):
to put my party in an advantageous position on this,
and so let's be candid about this. What we ended
up with was a map that creates twelve Republican districts
and three Democratic districts. Twelve Republican districts and three Democratic districts.
The current state in Ohio is ten Republican districts and
five Democratic districts. And the challenge that we faced was
(10:43):
that if the legislature had drawn different maps, maybe that
created thirteen Republican districts instead of twelve, it would have
certainly been subject to a referendum. The Ohio Constitution is
very clear that the moment the leftist dark money groups
gathered two hundred thousand signatures, it would freeze the implementation
of the current maps. It would require us to run
(11:05):
the twenty twenty sixth election on the old maps back
to ten to five, and most likely trigger us having
to run in August special election for congressional primaries. All
kinds of chaos, all kinds of bad things, something that
was to be avoided.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And I look at Greg Lansman's district that appears to
be like a plus six Republican. But I look at
some of the recent voting in that district that's very close.
Whoever you Republicans pick for that district to run against
Greg Lansman going to have to be pretty damn good.
He's a good politician, and it's going to be a
close race, et cetera. I would add one other thing.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Man, candidates matter, Party chairs matter. State center is a
great woman named Diane Cunningham that's on our state Central Committee.
That'll be involved in that conversation, by the way, But
finding the right candidate matters, and the party's job is
to find the right candidate, and that's something has to
happen over the next couple months.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Complaining about this, Oh, I asked you the question. You
may know the answer. There's about six New England states,
that being, if my geography is correct, you got Maine,
you got Vermont, you have New Hampshire, you have Massachusetts,
you have Connecticut, you got Rhode Island. And in those
states they're a little bit smaller than the state of
California population wise, those six states how many, And those
(12:24):
six states voted forty percent for Donald Trump, So you
would think about forty percent of the congressional districts would
be Republican. How many Republican congressmen or congresswomen are there
in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Can you, Frank Lerosa, can you give me a round number?
(12:44):
How many?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
The round number is zero. And it's because of Democratic
jerryman And by the way, when the Democrats do it,
it doesn't get called out. When the Republicans do it,
every reporter, every leftist journalist in the state, in the
country wants to talk about it. But here's the other
thing that happens. Willy city council wards get redistricted by
Democratic city councils in counties that have a county council
(13:09):
form of government, like where I grew up in Summit County,
in Cuyahoga County, they redraw the county council districts. They
jerrymander the heck out of that to create a situation
where it's darn near impossible for a Republican to get
elected to city council. No problem to the county council,
and nobody ever says a word of it.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
No problem.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, Illinois seventeen districts fifteen Democrats, two Republicans and that's
okay with the media, no problem. We go from there.
But today's going to be a day become informed, then
go vote. Any difficulties at polling places, I know New Jersey.
I was on a station this morning, wond and New
(13:45):
Jersey and they were having the ever having bomb threats
called in and which is stupid. Is there any problem
with voting in the state of Ohio at this point?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Nothing systemic. We've had the small things here and there,
a power outage or you know that of thing, but
nothing systemic or widespread. Of course, our operations team is
ready to jump on it if there is. And by
the way, if you see anything that's not right at
your polling location, the first thing you should do is
talk to that voting location manager. They are there to
do that job and they'll correct it under most scenarios.
(14:16):
But we've also got a report line. You can text
the word report to three four two six two three
four two sixty two. You text report and then we'll
be on top of it from the Ohio Secretary State's Office.
You can also message us on our website.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Lastly, give the website of ill informed voters who want
to become more informed and not be a member of
the BORG simply a bus to a pole to vote
with a with a blue or a red ballot. Can
you tell me again the website that we need to
go to to become a little bit more informed?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Vote Ohio dot gov. That's your place for the right
kind of ID. What to bring you know for your ID,
what polling location to go to, what's going to be
on your ballot? Really anything you need to be an
informed voter anywhere in the state of Ohio. Vote Ohio.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Go all right? Frank learose three four seven tastes so
good you got to get it bad once again. Thanks
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. You can Jerry
Manner for political reasons. You cannot Jerry Manner for racial reasons.
And the reason many of the Democrats are enraged. I
want to use African American people and voters as an
excuse to throw out the ballots when they do exactly
(15:22):
the same thing. But Jared mannering for political reasons is
good according to US Supreme Court, Jared Manning for racial
reasons is bad, which did not happen in Ohio. Jerry
mandered so to speak for shall I say political reasons
and not racial reasons. Frank LaRose, you're a great American.
Thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you,
Thanks Willy, get out and vote. God bless America. Thank you, Frank.
(15:45):
Let's continue with more the line becomes available five one
to three, seven four, nine, seven thousand. I'll say once
again that if you're what is it about twelve twenty
two in the afternoon on Tuesday, if you're ill informed,
you won't take ten ten minutes to go online in
order to find out what the issues are. If you
have no clue who's running and don't know what they
(16:06):
stand for, and you're politically a dumb ass, don't vote
because you canceled the ballot of someone who took the
time to become informed. The only way a democratic republic
works is to have informed voters willing to make changes
when things are going the wrong direction. And if you
simply are given a ballot slapped in your hand vote
(16:26):
for these candidates, then you're stupid and don't vote. And
bright people can be stupid about any issue. Hell, I'm
stupid about a bunch of stuff. I'm not stupid about
politics other issues. I'm very stupid. So if you're ill
informed and you're a dumbass on politics, don't vote. Bill Cunningham,
News Radio seven hundred w Bill Cunningham, the Great American.
(16:48):
Of course, the Dreehouse name is well known for the
last fifty years in Hamlety County. And I used to
run around with Don dree House the dead along with
Sako Wathy and Carol Grow and Pam Swafford back in
the good old days. And one of Don dree House's
children who's a mature and taught himself, is Don dree House,
the older and wiser brother of Denise tree House on
County Commission. And Don dree House is running for city council.
(17:10):
Many of the experts say that Don dry House has
a great chance of getting on council to change things.
And Don dree House Junior, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And Don, first of all, why are you running for
council this year? What is different?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Well, Bill, you know I actually ran for council thirty
years ago in nineteen ninety five, and I lived over
on the West Side in pray Sail for over forty years.
I think it's time for change in this city. I mean,
it just feels like things aren't working properly. I think
we need to get in on this cliche. But you know,
back to basics. We need to just do what the
city should do. And I even talked to my brother
(17:46):
Steve last night and Steve's like, Donnie, He's like, you
know that they we just need more police on the beat,
we need to clean the city streets. Yes, the city
should do what the city should do. When you need
to quit forgetting about all this other stuff that's not
really in their purview, not in there, you know, there
shouldn't be part of their agenda.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And I tend to agree with that.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I mean, I'm I'm endorsed by the Charter, and the
Charter's philosophy over one hundred years is just, you know,
let's stick to the city matters and do you know,
let's get the city to work first before we start
expanding our horizons.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
And don Dury, how's about law enforcement? According to the
standards of fifteen years ago, the city police are down
about one hundred and fifty cops. According to the crimes
being committed, and it appears to be two hundred cops
and that there's been efforts to pass year or two
to get more cops or to have sideway transfers. I
don't know why somebody would go from Dell High Township
or Sharonville Madara to become a Cincinnati cop. I don't
(18:36):
know why they would do that. You have to attract
them with money. Well, if you get on council, what's
going to be the reason that many want to join CPD, which,
by the way, is a tremendously professional police force's recognized
nationally or was recognized as the gold standard. And now
the chief of police more or less is fired because
she wouldn't do what the mayor wanted her to do
(18:58):
in the city manager. So to getting about to the
question on council, what do you do to attract more
men and women to serve?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Well, first off, you've got to take the pressure off
the police and fire departments when it comes to calls
for service. Right now, I work actively over in District
three with the group over in District three. I mean,
and our police our fire station is fire Station twenty four.
Their run, they're calls for service, and their runs are
non stop. They're always on back up, and you can't
(19:28):
be proactive. If you're constantly on call. To your point,
it's going to take three or four years if you're
going through just the recruiting process to replace the police
that are retiring. So I've actually had some conversations with
the police that were the last week or two. Talk
to some of the guys in the rank and file.
It's like, you know, they're looking to get there. They're
(19:48):
going to retire in three or four years. I said,
what would it do to be attractive to keep you
on the force. Is why we're bringing young guys. I said, oh,
you know, just make it a little more. You know,
we need to be respected, We need to be understood
that you know, you know, we need to be supported.
And I think first to Bill Morale, but from the
calls for service side, Bill, I look at it like
we can use technology to see what's driving these calls.
(20:11):
Not every address in the city is driving twenty to
thirty calls for service every month, and.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
We know what this is.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
But unfortunately, because of the lack of transparency, we don't
share data fire police, you know, health data. It needs
to be combined. And then when you look at it
and you go, hey, we've got a problem. Over here
to address maybe at the corner of Warsaw and you know,
up on Warsaw by Wells, and we need to deal
with this, and we need to deal with it right now,
because we had twenty calls last week where no calls
(20:38):
are happening two blocks away. So then we can start
focusing in on what's really driving it and then maybe
take the pressure off the police and make their job
a little more proactive where they can go out and
just be more get back into the community policing spirit
where you're you know, you're out in the streets, you're
you're seeing what's going on, and you can be a
little more you know, you're not always constantly under threat.
(20:59):
And I think that it's the feeling right now. We
have a great police force, one of the oldest in
the country. It's a wonderful police force. I have relatives
that have been on the police force. Yes, and we
need to do everything to support our police, and right
now I think they just feel a.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Little down in the mouth. You know, Don Dreehouse the
police departments in complete turmoil because their chief was put
on leave, which means she's fired. The mayor hires a
big time law firm to find out why he did that.
The mayor wants to know why I fired Fiji and
wants to hire this law firm to bootstrap it up
(21:35):
months from now at a cost of forty thousand dollars
plus to tell me why I did something. Doesn't he
know why he did something? And when this thing starts?
With Attorney Doug Brannon on on the criminal charges against
Alex Shavinsky, I had him on a couple of days ago,
the attorney, and he said, we're fully in contact with
US Attorney's Office, Department of Justice Civil Rights Division because
(21:59):
you had city leaders and state leaders holding a news
conference saying we want a white person charged with a crime,
and that person was Alex Stravinski, who did nothing wrong
other than get beat in the back of the head.
And so the turmoil is only beginning. If you get
on council, you're going to have complete turmoil, which happened
four or five years ago when four or five were
(22:20):
and died it and some went to federal prison for
what they did in office. And now the command staff
is going to be in depositions for day after day
on what did you know? When did you know it?
Why was Thiji fired. Why did the mayor and city
manager say she was doing great work until a week before?
What pressures was brought to break? The real crap's going
(22:41):
to start after the election, in which we need adults
on city Council to see Cincinnati through the rough waters ahead.
There's distant thunder and lightning of a US attorney who
is now sending out subpoenas to individuals in the city
to find out did you really say you wanted a
white person's a crime because that's illegal? So are you
(23:02):
ready for the crap storm about to happen?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Well, first, Bill, yes, I've actually been through this in
some extent when I was chair of the Housing Authority
back in the early two thousands, after the we had
the riots in Cincinnati, and it was a pretty volatile
period then for you know, everything that was going on
with the police department, the reluctance to be involved. But
when it comes to the chief, the chief should never
(23:26):
been let go. Saying they're now going to investigate it
for the fact makes no sense whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
She did nothing wrong.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
I mean, she's Look, if I want City Council, I'm
gonna say, has this decision been made? You want to
move on from the chief.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Okay, if you do, let's settle this and that's it.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
I said, We're not gonna We're not going to turn
this into some witch hunt because it's not right. I mean,
she was used as a scapecout there were back in
twenty twenty two and us sence she was instructed to
kind of we're going to look at things in a
different way and back off a little bit. She was
just to your points. She was doing what she was told.
And now because of all the reactions to the incidents
(24:03):
that have happened over the summer and recently, she's being
held out as the reason why. And I'm like, no,
that's not the case. Let's just work something out with
the chief and see what we can do. But no,
we do not need to do some long investigation. She
didn't do anything illegal or wrong. And it implies that
she did, she did not well.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
The mayor wants the law for him to determine why
he did what he did, and mainly he wants dirt
on her. He wants dirt, he wants to blaspheme and
to fame Teresa Thiji, and she's not going to have it.
And the officers around her is not going to have it,
and so the best thing to do is to drop
this thing, pay her off whatever it takes. And that's
(24:43):
what they're counting on. But Don drey Helse, I pray
to God if I had a vote on council, you'd
be one of the four or five i'd vote for
because you bring common sense. You have a long history
in this city. You care about the city, fixing the potholes,
removing the snow, doing the basics. And right now we
are in deep trouble. And Don dree House once again,
give my best your family to Steven too a Denise,
(25:04):
and may your dad Don dree House rest in peace.
He was a great man him and Soacho Weeethy and
Don dree House, you're a great American. Thanks for coming
on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Don, Thank you Bill,
God bless you. Let's continue with more. There you go
full you think the election solves anything, It's just beginning
and we need a new crew to make sure these
mistakes don't happen again. Why smear Chief Thiji for political reasons? Mayor?
(25:28):
Why do that? And why hire a law firm to
tell you why you did something? Bill Cunningham, who's Radio
seven hundred. It all right, Dave Katon, hit the music.
Please hit the music. That's important stuff. Let's continue. Whenever stop,
we simply always continue. First, I want to see a
couple other things. There are two local candidates in Anderson
(25:50):
Township that needs your vote. That is Joshua Girth and
Lexi Louston. They are law and order types. They're going
to move Anderson Township forward. And also the great Lee
Sriwonka and Blue Ash. He's a visionary. He knows what
Blue Ash needs and what it doesn't need. Be an
excellent time in those locales to do that and do
that immediately, if not sooner. Plus I would point out
also that Deer Park Community Schools has a levee up
(26:14):
because they haven't been on had had a levee in
seven eight nine years. And there's no better school district
in America, you know, than Deer Park Community Schools. It
raised me properly, and I know levees are always hard
to de vote for, but if you live in Dylan Vale,
Sycamore Township, or the City of deer Park, understand that
Deer Park Schools is moving forward. This levee would increase
(26:38):
your taxes by about twenty dollars a month on average
twenty dollars a month. And right now, as you may know,
deer Park is in the top ten school districts and
all of Hamlet and County because of what they've done academically,
what they've done athletically, what they've done to student teacher ratios,
and what they've done with discipline in the schools. And
it's functional, it's good. It's about the best there is
(27:00):
out to endorse the deer Park Community School levee. The
levee only costs about twenty dollars and thirteen cents a month,
or about about sixty seven cents a day. And they've
not been back to for a levee in like seven
eight nine years. And the Chris Housters and the gym
stalls and all the rest, the Robertsons understand that they
(27:21):
work hard, work smart. In fact, many years in deer
Park there are no teachers who leave because once you
come there, it's like the Hotel California. You can't leave
because it functions. It's a walkable community. It's five minutes
from I seventy one, five minutes from I seventy five
five minutes from Ronald Reagan Highway anywhere in Hamilton County.
The heart and soul of this county is Deer Park
(27:42):
and they seldom asked for a levee because they manage
their money so well. But now's the time, and now's
the hour. The top ten school districts in Hamilton County,
they're up there with Indian Hill, Merrimant and Madeira believe
it in not Wyoming. That's how good Deer Park is.
And I don't vote in that district anymore, but I
like to encourage all the parents of Deer Park schools
(28:02):
to get out and vote, because when you do good
things for good people the right way, you should be rewarded.
And this is the school district because of Jim Stall
and because of so many others before him, Chris Euster
that are working hard to provide quality education. And one
thing they've reached out because of many robertson deer Park
head are on. About a week ago, it was always
available money from the state and so to defray some
(28:25):
of the expenses by getting specialized programming for middle class
kids with the high school education to start work at
eighty to one hundred thousand dollars a year through workmanship
programs inside the deer Park High School and many Robertson
and Jim Stall and others make sure that happens and
they do it so when good things happen to good
people should be rewarded. And Deer Park Community Schools the
(28:46):
cost is about twenty dollars a month per home to
have these functional schools, which are the critical part. And
even for those that don't have kids in school. Your
property values in Deer Park's going up fifty percent and
the past eight years fifty percent increase because young families
want to move to deer Park. Everybody wants to move
to deer Park. My producer, Dave Keaton would love to
(29:07):
move to deer Park, you know that. And it's just
a wonderful place to be. So please vote for the kids.
When good things happen, reward them. And lastly, we have
Steve Goodin coming up after one o'clock today, one of
the council candidates, and also coming up later Sherry polland
from the Board of Elections lower fter two to see
what's happening. We get the government we deserve. And if
(29:31):
you live in the City of Cincinnati and you don't
vote for change. It's because you're not paying attention or
because you're an ideologue, because there must be change taking
place in that city. It is awful, the crime, the graffiti,
the open air drug use, the dismantling of the police
department by firing a popular police chief and then seeking
(29:51):
a law for him to dig up dirt on Teresa Thiji?
Are you kidding me? Largely, she's a will employee anyway
and can be let go for a good reason, a
bad reason, or no reason. So simply to say you'll
put you on an administrative leave, appoint your successor. Then
I'm going to hire a law firm Frost Brown Todd
to tell me why I did something to justify The
(30:13):
only way to do that is to get dirt on her.
The way to get dirt on her, they think, is
to issue subpoenas to the command staff a CPD to
get dirt on Teresa Thiji? Is that the way to
run our city? Do you think the big idea of
this marriage to have a computer program for removing snow,
which they didn't do the last time. If that was
a great idea, why didn't have it in place a
(30:34):
year ago? That the city's in complete chaos, but you
wouldn't know that by trying to talk to have to
have purival. I'm okay, you're okay. And among the worst
things they do is to interfere with police decisions on
charging people with crime personally, and that is despicable and
it's disgusting. And my source for that is Attorney Doug Brannon.
(30:56):
It was on with me a week ago, off and
on there. He told me that he's been in contact
US Attorney's Office Civil Rights Division in order to provide
them information about a civil rights violation committed by the
city council against his client, Alex Stravinsky, when the city
political leadership, not the police, that political leadership decided to
(31:18):
criminally charge someone because of the color of their skin white.
It's recall the news conference. If you're in the so
called civil rights crowd, with that disdained look in your eye,
you can shoot your mouth off, say whatever you want.
It's called the First Amendment. Have at it. If you're
Damon Lynch, etc. You can, much like a talk show host,
first Amendment applies, Hey have at it, say whatever you want.
(31:41):
But when you're a state official, Cecil Thomas or a
city official Lemon Kearney, you can't stand up and tell
the world how stupid you are, and that Lemon curty
went to Harvard Law School, for God's sakes, many years ago,
about a half century. Nonetheless, using the power of the
city in the state to charge an innocent man with
(32:01):
a crime for political reasons and racial reasons. Is this
stuff the Democrats did in the South fifty sixty years ago.
Now it's happening in the city of Cincinnati. I had
one other Democratic leader in the city who must go nameless,
saying what a crap show the city of Cincinnati is.
What's no part of it. So don't believe the hype
(32:23):
of the mayor and others that the city's happy days
are here again. No blood is running in the streets
of Cincinnati. Graffiti and homelessness is everywhere, open air drug use.
Cops are demoralized. Think about that. When you cast your ballot,
plus they screwed, blued and tattooed Hyde Park. Then when
you arose like a mighty sosunami to oppose it, they
quickly switched out. But they're going to come back next
(32:45):
year and ram it right down your throats again. Let's
continue later on. We have a great Steve Goodin later on,
also we have Sherry Pulling from the Board of Elections
and more one o'clock Home of your Reds in Bengals.
Pluster's trades going on Galore Sega will have all beginning
at about one thirty on News Radio seven hundred WLW Cincinnati.
(33:14):
All Right, Billy Cunningham the Great America Today, Election Day.
I'm going to put on many of the canage for offices.
I spoke to my friends in Boone County and Kenton
County and not much happening there, not much happening in Indiana.
So we're going to cover Ohio and Cincinnati politics as
much as we can. Coming up later, we'll be Lenda
Matthews and many others including Don Dreehouse going to come
(33:35):
on too to talk later on and about what's happening.
He's running for council, but joining you and I now
as a man that's served on council before. Hopefully he
will serve on council again. That's the honorable Steve Goodin
and Steve welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Steve,
first of all, how do you feel this Tuesday afternoon.
Are you confident not confident? Are you typically optimistic? What
(33:56):
are you.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Well? We try not to be chap with about anything,
mister cutting Camp. I'll tell you we feel really good
about it. I'm posted up over here at Christ the
King Church, Cardinal Chelli School in Hyde Park Lookout area,
and I'll tell you this is a very democratic area.
But we're getting a lot of thumbs up from voters
as they go in. People are fed up. They're fed
(34:18):
up with the crime, They're fed up with the lack
of policing. They're fed up with the graffiti, the litter,
the just lawlessness. And in this neighborhood they're really fed
up and fired up still about that whole development tobacle
and High Park Square. Those people are out in a
big way today the safe High Park Square. People are
campaigning at the polls, educating voters about the six council
(34:40):
members who voted against their interest. So there's a lot
of energy over this way.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
As far as the crime issue. Scott's lun hint on
this morning one of the business owners in the area
of the so called bar, the Privy Bar, and what's
just yesterday there was another eight people shop in the city.
Gun play is everywhere. There are many judges and you
know how easy they are. When I talk to my
criminal defense brothers, they tell me how pleased they are
(35:08):
with the bench in Hamley County because it used to
be if you had a criminal defendant you represented, it
was somewhat difficult to get probation, somewhat difficult to get
out on bond. And right now they fly out out
of the courthouse like bats on Easter morning to get
get the hell out. And the whole attitude has changed.
But it begins with the police. What role do you
(35:28):
think that Thiji? I call it the discharge. She's not
coming back anytime soon. And then the mayor and the
city manager had to hire a big time law firm,
Frost Brown, in order to tell the mayor why he
fired Fiji. The mayor has to be told why he
did it, which is kind of past Awkwards. But how
big is crime issue when you can flee the city,
(35:49):
ignore the crime and live in the burbs. And that's
what people are doing, That's what businesses are doing. That's
what Procter and Gamble is doing, is what Kroger is doing,
It's what Fit Third Bank is doing, and they're getting
the hell out of Dodge. It's like gun smoke with Ms. Kitty.
How big is the crime issue do you think in
the minds of voters?
Speaker 3 (36:08):
It is? It is the number one issue. You know,
no pun intended, it's number one with a bullet it is.
It is I think the primary motivator of the folks
that we talked to. And Okay, for your Democrat or
Republican or Charter or whatever you are, everybody knows that
it's out of hand. It's been trending that way for years.
There's just been a general sense of lawlessness downtown and
(36:29):
then the neighborhood. It started with the open pot smoking
and then the open homelessness. People were allowed to just
camp out everywhere, and now suddenly you have the gun violence.
You know, it's developed over time. We know we are
short police officers. They haven't even revisited the compliment since
two thousand and five, and we were two hundred short
(36:50):
of that number. So we need at least three to
four hundred more police officers to even be serious. And
you know what, you're absolutely right. These judges have been
a disaster. Well, I was prosecutor twenty years ago. If
you got caught with a gun. You've got a high bond,
no matter what to charge. I mean, that's just how
it was. You're going to sit there for at least
a few weeks until we sorted it out, if not longer.
So you know, it's a combination of things, these kind
(37:12):
of this whole sort of progressive move that both the
city Hall and the courthouse has taken has absolutely failed everyone.
And you're right. I feel for the fifth thirds and
you know, the big companies, but I'm really sorry about
these mom and pop businesses, the hair salons, the barber shops,
the places like cook sporting goods. They're the ones who
have their life savings and in these businesses downtown and
(37:34):
they're really feeling the pinch too. So there's a lot
of anger, there's a lot of upset, and hopefully it's
going to result in a in a very different council
this year so that we can start to reverse some
of these policies, higher enough police officers and try to
just make the city safe. I mean, you can't do
anything in this city if you don't feel safe. And
it's that simple.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Ang is relocating to Mason. They didn't announce it. I
just did I want you to put on your lawyer.
Had I had on Doug Brannon about a week ago.
He's the attorney from the Dayton area civil rights attorney
and the gem City that represents Alex Shrevinsky. And two
issues came out of that that Doug Brannon is in
contact with the US Attorney's office about the criminal civil
(38:18):
rights violations by the mayor, the city manager, by lemon
Kearney and others who held news conferences. You might recall, normally,
when you do stupid criminal stuff, you want to do
stupid criminal stuff in private. But in this case, they're
so stupid that they called in the TV cameras, they
open up the microphones and just blair to the world
(38:39):
that we want a white person charged with a crime.
And that white person became Alex Stravinsky. And the reason
was is because he started the whole thing on July
twenty seventh. Alex Stravinsky was the guy. Then it comes
out from three c DC Steve Leeper, my good friend,
that the camera show that it was not Alex Stavini
(39:00):
who precipitated this, this riot brawl, this beatdown on Fourth Street,
but rather it was the criminals themselves who started it
with two punches to the back of the head of
Alex Stravinsky. So when he slapped someone a few a
minute or two later, it was in defense and retaliation
of what had happened to him first. And so you're
(39:20):
a lawyer. Can civil rights leaders, to be more specific,
can state government representatives like cecil Thomas and city council
members stand up and say, we demand that the police
department filed criminal charges against someone because of their race?
Is that legal?
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Well, now, I thought that was settled in this country
about seventy years ago that you can't do that, you know,
And it was absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
And I'll just tell you this.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I mean, you know, all they had to do was
on that issue was nothing. And that's the one thing
that they typically are really good at at city hall
when it comes to crimes. Just do nothing. But you know,
it's a rush to judgment. They didn't have all the
evidence or well, actually, I take that back now I'm
hearing that they've had these tapes all along and watch
them and have been sitting on them. That's right. I mean,
(40:10):
it's just disgusting. It's not the way you run a city.
I mean, that's third world stuff where the leader comes
out and says, I want this person charge regardless of
the evidence, and I don't care to see what the
evidence is. You know, it's mob rule. It's not good,
it's not right. If it's one of those things that
just chips away at that general sense of fairness and
whether or not you have any kind of law and
(40:33):
order rule of law in the city, you know, it's
it's one of those things that's going to haunt them
all no matter what the Justice Department does or doesn't do.
I've heard the same thing. They're definitely in town, they're
definitely interviewing witnesses and others, and it's just awful. But
even putting all the legal stuff aside, it just kills
(40:54):
morale with the police department. None of the officers at
the scene wanted that guy charged, from what I understand,
and it's just clear that politics is trumping what the
police officers want, what the public wants, and here just
probably trumping the plain old facts of what happened.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
It's a really sick thing. And secondly, Doug Brannon, the
attorney for Alex Schrevinski, said on our Era a week
ago that it has received discovery from the City Prosecutor's office,
and the tape from three c DC exonerating his client
was not included. So he made a telephone call after that,
(41:31):
came out and said, hey, madam city prosecutor, where's the tape?
And she said, we're going to supplement our discovery later
and if you want a continuance on December the eighth
trial date, you can get it. And so they not
only charge someone based upon their race falsely, then they
tried to secrete from the defense the evidence to prove
(41:53):
their client's innocence, which is you must provide exculpatory information.
They also to do that, and in this case, the
chief of police wouldn't sign the charge. According to ken
Kober of the Police Department, the line officers, one of
whom was black, would not sign the charges, and the
city prosecutor herself would not sign the charges. But according
(42:15):
to ken Kober that Emily Smart and Warner, who's the
city solicitor, demanded that Captain Henny, who by the way
now is the interim chief of Police, signed the charges
even though he did investigate the case. So Cancidian state
government be used to file false criminal charges against someone
because of their race. Of course the answers know. But
(42:37):
then secondly, the millions and millions of dollars in damages
that Stravinsky suffered at the hands of state and city
government is out there. So at a minimum, they're going
to try to buy off their silence with a lot
of money, which might work. And with Fiji Chief, they
may buy off her silence with an NDA and a
bunch of money to keep this thing quiet. So the
(42:58):
mayor of Cincinnati is not criminally charged, the Vice mayor
is not criminally charged, the city manager is not criminally charged.
We think we had problems four or five years ago
with that crew going to federal prison. The same thing
could happen. Can you smell what I'm cooking?
Speaker 3 (43:15):
Absolutely? I mean, first, at a minimum, you're going to
see millions of taxpayer dollars go out the door over
a street fight on four Street. So I mean, it
tells you just how badly managed everything is. But I'll
tell you this, if if we get enough of our
folks on council, we're going to have public hearings. There's
going to be a truth and Reconciliation commission down there
(43:35):
to try to get into this. I mean the fact
that this is all being played out behind the scenes
and everyone's so lawyered up and no one has any
idea what's happening. We need to have some The council
needs to show some oversight and step in. And that's
one of the problems there. Now you have this total
echo chamber. Everyone's afraid to cross the mayor. We need
(43:57):
to get at the bottom of this and city council.
That's one thing we could do. If we get enough
people on there, we can hold hearings and we can
just rip the lid off this thing and see what's
really there. And I don't think anyone's going to like it.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
It's ugly, and they want to keep the lid on
until about seven thirty pm the night. Then the next
year is going to be wild. If the Department of
Justice charges criminally the leaders of our city with offenses
which they made public their stupidity. There can't be anybody
more stupid who commits a criminal act and brings in
the news meet it to broadcast the crime. I mean,
I watched on and said, are you kidding me? And
(44:30):
the fact is they weren't kidding. Lastly, I head on
the Irish Rollie sitting right there yesterday, and it took
me a while to get down to the basics, and
she said, I asked her three times. She said, no,
that shouldn't happen. Should city or state government charge a
person with a crime because of the color of their skin?
The answer is no. And we have city leaders broadcasting
(44:53):
the fact they want a white person charged, and Countie Pillage,
who's the county prosecutor, said no, we're not going to
do that. And to me and thief Gigi said we're
not going to do that, and they did it. And
now they've crossed the rubicon. And by the way, I'm
also cold. I'm also told Steve Gooden that later on
they're going to dismiss the criminal charges anyway, because they're
(45:16):
going to pay millions of dollars to Szravinsky and try
to avoid their own arrest. And to me, I can't
think of a more blatant civil rights violation than a
old a news conference to tell their own prosecutor in
this case, Emily's smart warner, you must charge someone with
a crime because of the color of their skin. That
(45:37):
should enrage everybody in our community. Once again, Steve Goodin,
thanks for coming on and good luck to you. What
do you say about ten hours from now, if the
same nine, the same eight get elected and pure ball wins.
It's kind of like when Nixon won in nineteen seventy two,
and then later on Watergate happened. We got a Watergates
(45:59):
skin and brewing hair of incredible proportions, and it might
be better for them to lose, get out of office,
have your truth and reconciliation meetings together to understand what
this crew did to the city, and then they'll let
them deal with the Feds on the criminal violations down
the road, because af ted Puroval has criminal responsibilities, as
(46:20):
does the city manager, and as does Emily Smart and
Warner for filing false criminal charges against the person because
of the color of their skin. And their witnesses are
the chief of police and Cincinnati police officers who told
them no, don't do it. And that's pretty good evidence.
But anyway, all right, Steve, good and good luck to
(46:40):
you down the road, and we'll talk later. Thank you,
thank you, and God blessed, take care, God bless America.
Let's continue with more. There can't be a more blatant
civil rights violation than they have state officials and city
officials demand that their prosecutors file criminal charges that are
false against the an innocent man because of his race.
(47:02):
Am I making any sense to you? Let's continue, Bill Cunningham,
News Radio seven hundreds. W all right, let's continue. The
experts like segment Dennison tell me the odds of apt
pure of all losing are quite small. I have trust
and faith in you that the same old, same old
is not going to work this time. Too much is
(47:24):
at risk. When Procter and God is moving to Mason,
when Kroger is telling its employees, look, if you're unhappy
about the violence in Cincinnati, just work from home. When
Fifth Third Bank is sending all over the country some
of their operations. In fact, the city is at risk
of losing some of their big employers. And when there's
(47:45):
blood running in the streets and the response from the
mayor is silence other than I'm okay, You're okay, it's great.
We got a major problem. The days ahead are going
to be rougher than the days in the past because
the investigation by this law firm that Teresa Thiji is
going to find something that somebody could explode into significance
to smear that fine woman, that mother, and that grandmother,
(48:08):
who did exactly what she was told to do by
the city manager and by the mayor. She wasn't some
wild card acting on her own. She did what they
told her to do, even though she felt at times
it was a wrong thing to do. She did it anyway.
But one thing she wouldn't do was file false criminal
charges against an innocent man because of his race. She
(48:29):
would not do that. So they finally found someone that
would do it, who, by the way, now is the
interim police chief, Adam Henny. When his men and in
his defense, I would say this. According to Ken Kober,
the sergeant of the FOP, he considers Henny to be
a profile and courage. Even though he stuck his neck
on the line by filing an affidavit of false criminal
(48:50):
charges against the innocent man because of race, Adam Henny
did it to protect his men underneath him that those
who did the investigation that knew the charges were false
would not sign on the bottom line. So, in his view,
Adam Henny, the captain now the police chief, was a
profile encourage for taking the hit, rather than the men
(49:10):
and women in blue who said, this is a bunch
of bs. The city's in crisis. How will you respond
blood running in the streets, an irrelevant council following criminal
charges they should never do against the innocent, innocent man
because of the color of his skin. Is that the
kind of city you want to live in? Segment? He
says yes. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundreds WLW, Cincinnati.
(49:35):
We are certainly not going to sit on our hands. Hello, quiet,
and I'm broadcasting. This is almost like the trading deadline
in baseball? Are the Bengals actually making moves right now?

could be fired very soon. What's he done wrong recently?
I'm just saying, I'm saying, what is he done wrong?
He's got a great team, He's got that draft pick
from Logan Wilson. That seventh round draft pick next April
(51:00):
could be the key. Speaking of that, the Bengals today,
around seven thirty years thank you, Bengals traded linebacker Logan
Wilson to the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh round pick.
And the blockbuster of the day, though, is between the
Jets and the Indianapolis Colts. Tell us about it. Jets

That's a good deal for the Colts. Do you agree?
He goes to the Jets to the Colts, and he
also gets coached up by now to get him back.

Manager of the Year Award. It deserves it over the
manager of the Dodgers. If you spend one point three
(52:59):
billion dollars on four pitchers. Yeah, but he's not Dave Roberts. Now,
he's not one of the finals Who were the finalists
And you didn't tell me Milwaukee's Pat Murphy and Philadelphia's
Rob Thompson. I'm watching the ESPN last night Up Pops.
The face of Joe Frederick Convicts versus That show's been
on fifty times at the last team. We watch it
(53:21):
every time. It's unbelievable, and it was unbelievable. T shirts made,
lots of Dough Ray and the Mee Yeah Convicts versus
Catholics and Lou Holtz one at all the last time,
Notre Dame one at all. Yes, and Joe was there
to lead. So it's one hundred and forty two days
until opening day. What about the NFL Draft? We're talking
(53:42):
about that yet? The NFL in April, Well, we're going
to talk about it. That's the next big thing for
the Bengals, isn't it. No, the bet next BIS thing
is winning a week from Sunday. Could Flacco have done
any better the last three games than Joe Burrow. No,
and he's home in New Jersey. I don't blame him.
(54:03):
And let's see. Also, Evan McPherson spoke today to the
media and said that his family and Logan Wilson's family
were headed in the next day or so to Disney World.
See Goofy but Wilson when they go hold up on
that car. Wise, gentlemen, Logan Wilson, you're going to the Southwest.
(54:25):
And did you not the Mickey mouseland the happiest place
on earth besides here. I guess the Colts play this weekend,
so he was going to be off. Now he's not
going to be off of house. I don't know. Let's see.
Kentucky High School Kentucky girls first round in the volleyball
State Attorney. Notre Dame Mount Notre Dame No. Notre Dame
wins over West Jessemin. They'll play in the quarterfinals Friday
(54:47):
against Bowling Green. Good luck tonight. Ohio Girls State soccer
semi Finals. Who is it? Seaton Anderson that's chrismth Baden
Summit Country Day and the Amazon of Madeira back at
it again are in. And you know Deer Park Community
Schools was ranked as one of the top ten in
Hamilton County right a little bit below Indian Hill, Wyoming,
(55:10):
Madera and Marymont. And secondly segment, Yeah, Logan Wilson, who
thought he was off Sunday, may not be off. I
assume Dallas is playing. I don't know. I don't know
where Dallas played. Well, they just played last night. While
they played last night, the lost horrible. He goes from
the thirty second ranked defense of the thirty first. So
(55:31):
he's making he's upgrade progress. He's going up slightly, just
a little bit. And you know, Evan McPherson kicked the
wrong ball. Did you see this story? No, he missed
that it was a fifty yard field goal or something. Yeah, sure, yea,
So he gets off. He can still got Disney World.
They were goofy. I guess they're special balls that the
(55:52):
kickers use and aren't the regular ball. Okay, And because
it was a continuous play, no tom out was called. Yeah,
McPherson kicked the ball that is used to play the
game and not the K ball. Did you know that
kickers have special balls. I think you have special balls too.
But nonetheless, they used the K ball. They didn't use
(56:13):
the K ball. They used the game ball. And McPherson
knew when he hit it hit it good. He said,
if I was hitting my K ball, it would have
gone fifty eight yards or sixty. I hit the G ball,
the game ball, and it died. So I'm thinking that's
the Bengals right there. And in order to get the
specialized ball. I say another thing in the game on Sunday,
(56:37):
because it was continuous, if they if three guys could
have tackled number eighty four, they would have had to
use the G ball and not the K ball. The
G ball is the game ball, so that means they
would have tackled him, they would you have seventeen seconds
either spiked the ball or let's go get some If
(56:58):
they spiked the ball, they use the K ball. If
you don't spike the ball, got to use the G ball.
So if they rushed the field goal unit on the field,
which of course they didn't have to do, and they
would have used and the Bears used the G ball,
he would have had to kick in an extra five
yards and McPherson said, he's got an excuse. I didn't
play the CA ball with that Crysto guy who the
(57:20):
Chicago had already missed one. Looked like I kicked it
and he used it. It was blocked. I think it
was blocked. I hit, he hit. I thought he missed one.
It looked like it went into section two thirteen. That's
when what's his name? But Ivy was off sides? How
are you off sides on that? I have no idea,
only I bet you Darren Simmons down there is probably
(57:40):
pulling his hair out. Just look to your right, see
where the ball is. There's the ball. I'm gonna go
knock back at line up on the other side of
the ball. I'm gonna be on this side of the ball.
And of course they missed it. Let scored a touchdown. Bingo,
So seg, how do you explain this? Things happened to
the Bengals that don't happen to normal team. The only
thing the worst about having the Bengals here it is
(58:00):
not having the Bengals here. I know you complain a
lot about the Bengals and Cleveland Brown, Well, are the
Bengals Cleveland South, or the Browns the Bengals North. The
two teams, what are you doing at to combine them
and play in Columbus on Sunday. You know, that's a
hell of an Why don't you That's a hell of
an idea right there. You know, call them the Columbus
Brown Bengals. I mean, that's just an idea. Wow, you
(58:23):
come up with a good idea every now, play one here,
play one up there, Play one here, play one up there.
If you took the Browns defense and the Bengals offense,
what if he had edge rushers of Miles Garrett and
Trey Hendrickson, they'd have four They have four hundred sacks
a month's which is the worst franchise. The Browns are
(58:44):
the Bengals Browns, I say, easily the Browns at least
the Bengals have tasted. I mean, when number nine comes,
nobody can surpass number nine. I don't care if the
Browns bring back They've had seven million quarterbacks over there.
What about Auto Graham he won ten straight championship. Yeah,
(59:04):
we'll bring him back. He's dead. So I'm just saying,
if you took the two teams together and played in
Columbus the Columbus Brown Bengals. And maybe get a few
state players in the mix. Maybe have the one one
side of the helmet orange and the other one with
the stripes. Secondly, according to the AP, which is never wrong,
Joe Kap, go ahead. Tom Brady has successfully cloned a
(59:28):
dead dog of his I'm reading his story. What he
found someone in the Silicon Valley that wanted to clone
his dog. He took DNA from a dead dog like
Schnorre for Emma, Yeah, and cloned it like Zoomie and
a new A new dog has been born. What about
Mimi and Tutu? You can clone him right now, Tom
(59:51):
Brady cost him eighty thousand dollars. He Broaly makes that
every week to clone his dog. Have you thought about
cloning a dog? Would you do then? For that kind
of money, Willie, I'd bring back all of What about
you and the snorf and a peanut?
Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
Heead?
Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Well, my favorite dog of all was Schnarff, and then
it was Maxine. Well, I'm just saying, what about them?
I love it cloning dog. Let me see if I
get that. I'm gonna google everything today. Segment Tom Brady
cloning a dog. Here it is. Tom Brady reveals that
name is Juny is a clone of a former pet,
(01:00:28):
Lua that died in twenty twenty three. He saved DNA
from uh Lua. I mean, here's the story, my NFL
quarterback Tom Brady said on Tuesday, that's today. That is
dog Juny is a clone of his late Petlua, who
passed away two years ago. The pit bull mix was
(01:00:49):
shared by Brady, your next wife, Jaselle Bunskin, and their children.
By the way, she's impregnant. It by a boyfriend. That's
a different story. I don't mean Tom Brady, I mean
just hell. The new dog was cloned using a blood
sample collected before Lewis death. It was done at the
Colossal Biosciences, a California based a biotech company that can
(01:01:11):
clone the beginning with animals. Next up will be human
beings will be cloned. You could be here longer than
you think. See you and I could be cloned. For
a stooge report in the year threey and ten. How
about this one? He said? This is great. A few
years ago I worked with Colossal and leverage their non
invasive cloning technology through a simple blood drawl of our
(01:01:33):
family's dog that would pass away in the next two weeks.
The company found it in twenty twenty one announced that
it's a quite another biotech company by Agra Pets an
Equan and has cloned pets of numerous celebrities below the
radar at seventy thousand dollars. Would you want to clone
(01:01:54):
Zuomi or Emma for seventy thousand, Well, Willie, both of
them have been cremated, so I think, Mike, you know less.
You can add water and bring him back. Humans are next,
Willie and honor of a special day close with one
of our own. Happy twenty fifth wedding anniversary today to
Paully and Tom Brenneman. Really correct, I like Tom Brenneman.
(01:02:17):
He told me that this morning, and you don't, you'll
get a You'll get a mentioned on the Stooge. So
congratulations Paully and Tom Brenneman, twenty fifth wedding anniversary. Now
you have at least twenty five or fifty more. Amen,
We leave you with the immortal words of the Stooge
Report and welcome to Cincinnati. Is that Travis Kelcey or
(01:02:42):
Tite that was af ted Pirival the man who may
be indicted by the federal authorities for demanding the indictment
of criminal charges against the innocent man because of his
skin color. Not the first time the city Council is
going to the joint. It's back to the future, a
new radio seven hundred w old by Billy Cunningham, the
(01:03:13):
Great America and of course Sherry Potland at the Hamley
County Board of Elections runs, by any fair estimate, the
best local board of elections anywhere in the four thousand
counties in America. They come here or learn at the
feet of Sherry Poland when it comes to conducting full
and fair elections. And Sherry Poland, welcome again to the
Bill Cunningham Show. So it's now a little bit after
two o'clock. Give me the parameters of the turnout. Give
(01:03:34):
me when the polls close. Talk about any difficulties, what
are the problems, Give me a full report.
Speaker 6 (01:03:41):
Absolutely well, right now, we're right at about a nineteen
percent turnout for this election. That includes those that are
voting today and those that voted early in person are
by now, so we're sitting at about nineteen percent. At
the Board of Elections. We were predicting an overall twenty
five percent turnout, So it's look quick, we're probably going
to hit our mark.
Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
Isn't it said to have a twenty five percent turnout?
So you're saying sherry pulland that seventy five percent of
registered voters are not likely to vote.
Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
That's correct.
Speaker 6 (01:04:12):
Unfortunately, that is a typical for this type of an election,
and an odd numbered year election where we're electing our
local officials. For some reason, we have this lower turnout
than compared to what we see in a presidential or
a midterm.
Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
In twenty twenty four, what was the percentage turnout when
Trump and Harris Ram plus the other issues, what was
the turnout then?
Speaker 6 (01:04:35):
Yes, about two percent? Yeah, about seventy two.
Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
So it goes from seventy two percent down to maybe
twenty five percent. You're like an American, why is that?
Because normally local issues are more important to me than
national issues. I want to have the right people in
charge of the schools, of city, council, of township trustees.
I want local. You know, all politics is local. Can
you tell us why that's not the case? Sev twenty
(01:05:01):
five percent, that's like almost fifty percent. Let's let's kind
of say it isn't it?
Speaker 6 (01:05:07):
Yeah, I wish I knew the reason behind it. We
do see that many times, issues like statewide controversial issues
bring voter turnout up, but this is typical for an
addior and you know it's it's as you mentioned, it's
so important. These are our local elected officials. They have
a great impact on our everyday lives. But it's also
(01:05:28):
the smaller the districts of the contest are very small,
so you know, your voice means even more with that
smaller turnout and the smaller districts, you know, one or
two votes could could you know, determine the outcome of
an election. So there's still plenty of time to get
out and vote, make your voice heard.
Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Sherry Poland when I had on frankle Rosa about two
hours ago, he said, they have a they' always have
a handful of races that are literally tied and it's
determined by a coin flip. Have you ever flipped a
coin to determine the outcome of an election? Who does that? Yes,
we have.
Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
Had that happen in Hamilton County. Our board members will
do that. You know, we're governed by a four person board.
Tour members of the local Democratic Party and tour members
of the local Republican Party where we have seen ties
before in Hailto or large county. We see it in
very very small races. It's something called precinct executive races.
(01:06:23):
Those are political party races where they elect a representative
for their party in that precinct. So you're talking very
small district, just one one precinct.
Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
That is when we've seen ties.
Speaker 6 (01:06:36):
And our board flips the coin in public session, in
a public meeting, and then there's a declared winner. After
we flip the coin, and then we do a recount.
We do a recount so make sure it actually truly
was a tie.
Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
What kind of coin do you flip? Is like a quarter,
a diamond, nickel?
Speaker 6 (01:06:51):
What is it? We used to use, you know, maybe
whatever was in the chairman's pocket, if there was a
quarter or whatever. In recent years, I have a that
I was given by the United States Elections Assistant Commission
for a session that I participated in, and so we
kind of made that official recount coin given to us
(01:07:12):
by that important commission.
Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
So we use that now. Sherry Poland when I had
a friend who would flip a coin, he caught it
in one of his hands, and he could flip the
coin one way or another based upon what he wanted
it to be. So when whoever flips the coin, say
it's Alex t or the chair of the Democrat, they
flip the coin, does the guy catch it in his
hand or does he let it fall to the floor.
Speaker 6 (01:07:35):
They let it fall to the floor.
Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
And there's any magnets involved? Could you have a magnet
below that it goes tails and it flips overheads. Are
you aware there could be that guy. I've watched some
of this magic act where women's legs are cut off.
So when you flip the coin, you make sure there's
no magnets involved, no slot of hand, none of that stuff.
Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
That's correct, none of that stuff. It's done in a
public session, so anyone can come to the board and
watch the coin flip, examine the coin before aster.
Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Do you have any questions for me about sports, politics,
world capitals, the fluvial processes? Said geam morphology, something that's
confused you over the years. You have all the answers.
How about asking me a question.
Speaker 6 (01:08:14):
To be for this selection? Say that again, what do
you think the turnout is going to be for this selection?
Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
You think it's going to stick to the.
Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
T No, I'm willing to bet you a hot fudg Sunday.
It's closer to thirty percent and twenty five percent. Do
you want to bet a greater's hot fudg Sunday.
Speaker 6 (01:08:31):
I'm not a betting person.
Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
You're saying twenty you will. You'll be held to account
for this twenty five percent turnout. And the polls are
open until when seven got about five and a half
hours ago with Sherry Poland you run the best board
of elections. Of course, the Democrats and Republicans all keeping
out on everybody, but nonetheless you need functional administrators and managers,
and that's you. And they all respect you for what
(01:08:53):
you've done for that board. And Sherry polland thanks for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show and Shrey You're a
great American. Thank you, God God bless America. Let's continue
with more and coming up later. We scheduled Lenda Matthews
see if she can make it, and more plus more
trades we have until four o'clock today. There's rumors that
Duke Tobin may be released as the general manager, director
(01:09:14):
or player of personnel by the Bengals. We'll see what
happens with that. Plus possibly Hendrickson will be traded, but
we'll see. By four o'clock, Bill Cunningham seven hundred. Wow.
Bill Cunningham, the Great America. Of course, this election is
the most consequential in the city maybe in the past
twenty seven to twenty nine years, because the direction of
council is the wrong direction to take for the city.
(01:09:35):
We're gonna end up like Chicago or Portland, Oregon, for
God's sakes, unless there's change in reform. One of the
candidates that I would vote for if I could, one
of the four or five Islenda Matthews. She's on Avenuel
Community Council and she has put herself out there saying
we can't live like this. Linda Matthews, Welcome again to
the Bill Cunningham Show. In this election day afternoon, about
five hours remain, and what is your pitch to the
(01:09:58):
voters who say we have to reform, we have to improve,
what is your pitch?
Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
My pitch is that we need safe communities. Right now,
we're in the terrible condition. Even over the weekend, we've
had a lot of shootings and killings. So this mayor
and council has to go, and I'm your city council
woman that has just common sense and we need change
in leadership here in Cincinnati. We cannot end up like Chicago.
(01:10:27):
So people get out and vote and vote for Linda
Matthews because we need change.
Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
You know, I just had on Sherry Poland and she
predicted thus far there's been a nineteen percent turnout. That
means eighty one percent of not voted, and she predicts
no more than twenty five percent. That means seventy five
percent of city registered voters are not going to vote.
If and on top of that those adult's not even registered,
(01:10:54):
about ten percent of the voters of Cincinnati will determine
the election. And that said that, we have so few
people voting today.
Speaker 4 (01:11:02):
That's really really sad and disappointing. Because of the conditions
that we're living in at this point in time, everyone
should be concerned and out voting for new leadership. So
it's really sad to hear those numbers.
Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
And when you're out there working the polls this afternoon,
what are you hearing from voters? Their major concerns are?
Speaker 4 (01:11:23):
The major concerns is safety. Everybody's concerned about safety. They're
tired of all the killing, the murder and mayhem. They're
tired of the leadership not hearing about in the community,
talking about development, poos all kinds of concerns, but mainly
the main one is safety.
Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
And might I ask why is an African American female?
Are you running as a Republican and not a Democrat?
What is there about the Republican Party, which is the
traditional home of African Americans, have been the Republican Party
from eighteen sixty five until about nineteen thirty two, what
about a sixty year period. But why are you running
as a Republican?
Speaker 4 (01:12:07):
Because the Republican Party line up with my values. We
believe in family, we believe in mariage between a man
and a woman, we believe in safe cities. And those
are my values, those are my Christian values. And so
I decided that I was going to be a Republican.
And I've been a Republican for many, many years, and
(01:12:30):
I'm not going to change. No.
Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
In fact, I think it's happening. They're stirring in the
black community that says we don't have to live like this,
and that we're constantly voting for the same characters in
the same party without consequences or without improvement, and to
have the mayor run on a platform of well, I'm
going to use computers to find out where the snow
trucks are. I don't know if that's a big enough
issue to run on. But the most important issue is
(01:12:55):
the blood running in the streets, open air drug use, homelessness,
in the fact that Corporate America is getting the hell
out of Cincinnati, and that should scare everyone. I can't
imagine a city of Cincinnati without Kroger, without Fifth Third Bank,
without Procter and Gamble. That's a problem, right because that's
the tax base. That's the tax base now.
Speaker 6 (01:13:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:13:13):
Also, when it comes to Chief Thiji, she was I
used the term discharge or fire, just called administrative leave
with payment that the mayor says it will take months
and months and months to determine why I did something.
And he wants to hire a law firm to determine
why he did something, Frost Brown, which is a fine
(01:13:36):
law firm. I love lawyers. And he's going to pay
forty thousand or more of the city money to have
them research and discover and disclose why I did something.
Have you heard anything more absurd than that.
Speaker 4 (01:13:51):
I have not. I mean, this is another example of
poor leadership, poor planning. I'm poor follow through and in
taxpayers money, and I think people should be good and
tired of it. It's just ridiculous. They did it with
the fire chief. Look how much they had to pay him.
Now you're spending forty million dollars on a legal representation
(01:14:14):
when you should have went through the processes correctly from
the beginning. So it's just another example of poor leadership
by our mayor as well as that city manager. They
they all need to go and hopefully today that the
voters will decide that enough is enough.
Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
Linda Matthews, do you get pushedback from African Americans for
running on conservative values as a Republican? Do you get
pushed back in your neighborhood there and Evandale?
Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
I get some pushback, but most people here know that
I am and I'm from Avondale. I'm not going anywhere,
been here all my life, and they believe in some
of the things that I say, and believe it or not.
Avondale is mostly Democrats, but guess what, they wanted Linda
Matthews as their vice president, so they believe in my values,
(01:15:05):
they believe in what I send for and they respect that.
And so hopefully everybody will show up and vote for
me today.
Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
Oh, they only have about five hours left. The polls
close at seven point thirty. And I think it's said,
with all the difficulties of the city of Cincinnati, the
great majority of the voters that are registered, much less
others not even registered to vote, are not going to vote.
So that means if it's a twenty five percent turnout,
that means thirteen percent of registered voters will determine the
(01:15:33):
direction of the city. And thirteen percent and that's why
each vot's terribly important, correct, very.
Speaker 4 (01:15:41):
Very important, and people please get out and vote. Don't
take this election lightly because we cannot have another four
years of what we just came out of with Biden
Harris and then we're moving into with this mayor we
have and this city manager. It's just been terrible here
(01:16:03):
in Cincinnati. You know, safety eagles capital. When you don't
have safe communities, people don't want to bring their businesses
into downtown Cincinnati or any other community because of the
safety issue. And you know, capital means they're going to
invest and they're going to create jobs, and if we
can't have jobs, then we're gonna end up looking like
(01:16:26):
other cities. And we can't. We've there's been too much
investments downtown Cincinnati for this to continue. And the only
way we're going to break this craziness is to have
new leadership. That's the only way we're going to get
up out of there. And you asked everybody to please
get up and go vote today.
Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
Well, it just concerns me so few people are voting.
Of course that could be a positive. He could be
a positive in a sense. Lynda Matthews, we have to run.
But thanks for your call, and let's see what happens
down the road. But you got about five more hours
to vote. Let's get done. And Linda Matthews, thanks for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Lennon, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
Thanks to Bill.
Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
I think let's continue with more. You know, sometimes in
a way of election that large numbers of people come out.
Other times in the wave of elections, few people vote
because they're unhappy. And many times it occurs to me
that you don't vote because you're happy with the way
things are. We don't have good polling in the city
(01:17:27):
of Cincinnati, because it is too small. But I would
imagine I would believe that if the polling was done,
is the city of Cincinnati going in the right direction?
I bet eighty percent of cincinnati as would say no,
we're going in the wrong direction. Whether it's Hyde Park
or Oakley or Avondale or Price Hill or the Central
(01:17:47):
Business District or Downtown, we're going in the wrong direction.
And So even though I don't have a dog in
this hunt, because I'm not I don't live in the
city of Cincinnati anymore. But if I did, Matthews and
Steve Gooden and Chris Smitherman and leakeda Cole and Don Dreehouse,
of the five or six, I would vote for and
(01:18:08):
it makes sense to me not to vote for nine.
Vote for the five or six that you consider best
representing your values. And the values of Lynda Matthews, Vice
President of the Abnel Community Council, are the values of
most African Americans. They've been conditioned to accept the D
as opposed to the R because their leaders tell them
(01:18:28):
what to do. Your leaders have misled you. This is
not the course, the right course that we should be on.
So let's continue with more coming up later. Will be
the news and more trades, hopefully with the Bengals. There
is a reporter course about Duke Tobin, who's been there
for twenty five years, from Florio about impossibly being released
today or tomorrow. But I'll like to see more accent
(01:18:50):
on the defensive line, impossibly on the ends, because right
now we're in a crisis. So let's continue with more
Bill Cunningham News. Next, your home of the Reds and
the Bengals, the Bearcats and the Muskies seven hundred out
of you.
Speaker 7 (01:19:02):
We get criticized for that because we run with a
lighter crew than some other teams do, but I don't
know that we do badly there. We picked up Reggie
Nelson this year. That's a pretty good acquisition. Really. The
year before we picked up the fullback from Rutgers, the
young kid Leonard, and he helped us a lot. We
(01:19:26):
have people up there who are attuned to this stuff.
Duke Tobin is on top of it very, very thoroughly today.
With the communications you have, you can talk to people
anytime anywhere in this country, and we do.
Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
You don't have to have a.
Speaker 7 (01:19:46):
Guy sitting in an office doing just that. You can
carry this information with you as you travel and then
communicate when it's necessary, and that's what we do. I
don't think it works badly. I think it works all right.
Hello buyet and I'm Scots.
Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
I'm broadcasting. I'm going to say, to use a political
term when Mike Brown want to revise and extend his
remarks on working well, especially on the defense segment, your
reaction because there there's telephone service today segment that we
can call people anywhere in the world and they pick up.
You know what I'm saying. So maybe we don't need
(01:20:28):
any scouting at all. What about your buddy too, before
we get into I think I think you need scouting scouting? Well,
was there a game about ninety miles up the up
the road here with Ohio State and Penn State. Twenty
one teams had scouts there before and after the game,
talking to people, gathering information, talking to coaches on Saturday
and Sunday and Monday getting ready are you what about
(01:20:49):
this player? And nobody from the Bengals was present. Now
would it be helpful to talk to the coaches and
managers of the team and said, how does that left tackle?
What kind of person is he? What when does he
come to work. When is he leave? What kind of kid?
Is each kind of a student? Is the leader on
the team? Is he vociferous? Is he quiet? It wouldn't
it be interesting if you had that information upon which
(01:21:09):
you could cast an inform ballot or a draft choice.
You know what I'm saying, Willie the student reporters of
proud service of your local tame Star Heating and air
Conditioning dealers, Tamestar quality. You could feel the beautiful Western
hills called Durban Heating and Cooling. It's five one three,
five nine eight eighty four forty nine. Or go to
Derbin Heeating and Cooling dot com. Say can I say
(01:21:32):
something personal? Go right ahead, Jim Stott, Mike McConnell, Yeah,
Gary Burbank, Trumpy Collinsworth, Furman, Me and the truck and Bozo.
In my view, you belong in that group. Well, thank you. Okay,
that's a heavyweight lineup, but we had it. Well you're
kind of a clown and kind of a full half
(01:21:54):
the time. Yeah, but your presence over the mere forty
three years I've been here have been important and I
appreciate it. Thank you all. I'm tired of ripping on
you all the time. Bengals. Bengals update brought you by
Good Spirits and Party Town with thirteen locations in northern Kentucky.
Bengals today trading linebacker Logan Wilson to the Dallas Cowboys
(01:22:14):
for a seventh round pick. Can I tell you about
Logan Wilson, Yeah, go ahead. He was a deer Park
there you go. A couple of years ago a friend
of her friend said, you know, Logan Wilson would be
more than willing to come a deer Park High school,
which has a Levey up that must pass by the
way and speak to the deer Park faithful about the
Bengals and about the interception he's had in this game
(01:22:36):
or that game, the phantom pass interference called the super Bowl.
And I sat with him his wife for a couple hours.
A lovely young woman, A normal guy, not very big
on my dad, not a big person. Out of Wyoming,
the home of the Cowboys. Now he's a cowboy. Well
he went from Wyoming Cowboys to the Bengals. Now is
(01:22:56):
a cowboy. I liked Logan Wilson. Please continue, Also, Willie,
let's see the blockbuster of the day is Jets Corner
and former UC standout Sauce Gardner the fine corner with
the New York Football Jets. He's headed to the seven
and two Indianapolis Colts for two first round draft picks
from the bottom to the top. That's correct.
Speaker 3 (01:23:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
The Jets also have dealt three time Pro Bowl defensive
tackle Quinn and Williams to the Cowboys for picks. Now,
get this, the New York Jets next year in the
twenty twenty six draft, we'll have two first round picks.
Is that three? And two second round picks? Is that three?
Because how many picks do they got their own pick?
Speaker 7 (01:23:39):
Right?
Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
We got two? More right?
Speaker 6 (01:23:42):
Two?
Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
Three?
Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
I think that's three. And twenty twenty seven, they'll have
three first round picks, picks plus one and they beat
the Bengals. Correct your comments on that one. College football tonight,
let's see, it's the battle of the Bricks and Beautiful
Athens as the Miami RedHawks, leaders of the MAC, take
(01:24:02):
on Ohio U. Game time is seven pm. The RedHawks
are riding a five game win streak. College basketball Nichols
and ninth Grade at Kentucky tonight at Reperina seven o'clock ESPN,
fifteen thirty Nichols. Also, Evansville meets Number one Perdue. Where
was Terry Nelson last night on the UC broadcast that
I monitor He had a medical procedure the day before
(01:24:25):
and could not do the game. I am told it
was a minor procedure. He'll be back very soon. I
like Terry Nelson. He'll be back Friday night. Good Red's update.
Red President of Baseball Operations Nick Crawl today announced the
signing of a free agent who is from Middletown, a
leftenant inner, right handed pitcher, Keegan Thompson. It's a one
(01:24:47):
year major league contract through twenty twenty six. Is the
trade season open right now. He's a former Chicago Cub
starter and they can sign him because he was in
the minor league, so he's not as you know, what's
his name, Keegan Thompson. He's a pitcher. Yeah. I need
a slugger in the middle of the lineup. I don't
(01:25:07):
like a Russ Megelson, the deer Parky. I need a slugger.
They can't sign everything Nelson. Let's see what else, well,
I mean everybody, how about signing somebody. Terry Francota is
a finalist for the National League manager of the Year Award.
He deserves it. Kyle Schwarber is a finalist for the
MVP Award along with shoey Otani and Juan Soto. Who
(01:25:30):
thinks should get it? I think, well yeah, I mean,
what do you think? Who do you think are gonna
get it? Show you see? This is this is all
you know, This is all pre world series that was
the greatest, most exciting world series I've seen since nineteen
seventy SI. I don't know, it could be. I don't
know that It'll be interesting to see because my vote
(01:25:53):
would go to Kyle Schwarber, but I'm I'm biased because
he's from Middletown. Correct, What if the Red signed Kyle
Swarber with the money save with Martinez, et cetera. If
they signed Kyle Schwarber, I will drive him to the
ballpark every night and drive him home. He lives right
by you, right bingo. Payroll will be the same, which
(01:26:15):
is good. They have a lot of free money, right right? Well,
what's payroll Martinez? Nick Martin? Twenty one million? But Martinez
is gone because he's he's now a free agent. They're
not going to bring him back. What's the payroll this year? Segment.
Was it like one hundred and something like that? There
wasn't one point three billion for four pitchers, No was
(01:26:36):
no one nine, so one and you add up all
the players they're gonna let go because they either stink,
I don't want to sign him, right, why not? Should
you trade Hunter Green only their hairdresser nose? For sure?
We don't need starting pitching, by the way, No, we
(01:26:56):
don't need much relief pitching a little bit, but by
way we need batters. How about this? The Transportation Secretary
warns that airspace and parts of the United States may
need to close if the government shutdown continues in the
next week. Why did the Democrats shut down the government
then complain about Trump? I don't know. You know, Dick
Cheney died. Now you won't be able to fly any
(01:27:18):
place Dick Cheney dies. They use that as a cudgel
against Donald Trump. And what about what Dick Cheney did fault? Yeah, oh,
he opposed Donald Trump. So the whole CNN story was
not about Dick Cheney, who I think did allows the
job as Vice president instructing Bush forty three on the
Iraqi War. Awful, terrible, wrong and lost, but nonetheless deal
(01:27:40):
with Dick Cheney, what he did with the Ford administration,
what he did with Reagan, what he did with Bush
forty one, Bush forty three. Yes, they use that as
a hammer to beat up on Donald Trump when Dick
Cheney dies. That is ridiculous. Please continue. You got me
angry right now. Yeah, nothing else? What do you mean
you got nothing else? What about salz Gardner? You forgot
about him? I mentioned him?
Speaker 5 (01:28:00):
You did?
Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
What about Kyle Schwarber? Thanks for listening. Imagine him too? Yes,
well we got about what another hour and fourteen?
Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
He did?
Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
He did that going to the Jets, Jets cow Boys?
What what about Myers? You got everybody? He's going someplace.
He's going so I don't know worries He's going Jacksonville
to some place. All I care about the the Bengals
if they can get maybe a good rushing tight end.
It's four o'clock. They got about another hour to go.
(01:28:29):
He may not play again, right Hendrickson? Who knows? I
don't know. Who knows? I don't know. I want the
Bengals three and six. But how about that? Well, I
guess if the Dallas Cowboys are on their break, I
think this week with the Cowboys. Evan McPherson said today
for to Channel five that both of their families are
(01:28:50):
going to Disney World. Don't keep going. I would think
that Logan Wilson would probably be in the big mon
might want a good say hey guy the Walt d
how you looking. I mean, he might be in the
second happiest place on earth. He went from the thirty first,
He went from thirty two to thirty one, and the
worst defenses in the league. At least the Bengals were
setting records. Look at it that way, that's true. Tom
(01:29:12):
Brady cloning dog, late dog, welcomes Juny into the family,
sick from two years. Would you clone your pet? Would
you clone your dog? Bring him back for more? At
what eighty thousand dollars a dog? Yeah, I get a loan.
(01:29:32):
He makes it a third bank, the only bank you'll
ever need. Yeah, I love it. Get me alone. But
Zoomi and Zoomi and Emmer have been they were cremated.
How about this. Since his retirement, Tom Brady, the Patriots Legend,
has dabbled in everything as an entrepreneur, struggling a bit
as a Las Vegas Raiders owner. He also owns part
(01:29:53):
of the Birmingham City FC team while collecting a nice
steady paycheck. I think he signed with Fox Sports for
like three hundred million dollars. He also it's a product.
I'm sorry. Three hundred seventy five million over ten years
makes thirty seven and a half million dollars. And uh,
who's that? Joe Burrow did his own makeup and he
(01:30:15):
was the joker for Halloween? Did he do trick or
treating in Anderson Township? Went to Joe Burrow? There's a mess.
I can't even identify him. That's him. Yeah, did you
go trick or treating? Seg No, you want to hand
it out candy? Then you go as the Xavier Blue
Blob one year, No, I didn't, No, not that one. No,
(01:30:36):
that one. It was another year. He's forty eight years old.
He's an avid lover of animals and he wants to
clone his dogs in perpetuity. Oh hell, I don't know.
I guess whatever whatever happens any more. Trade segment with
Trey Hendrickson that I know of Willie right right up
to the minute here and nothing nothing going on yet.
And the National Football you mentioned an hour ago. Yeah,
(01:30:59):
that uh, reports out of Fox Sports that Evan McPherson
claims he used the G ball instead of the K
ball to kick the field goal. All the balls are special,
as you know, if you're a kicker, you want the
K ball, which is uh shall we say, inflated Tom
Brady style inflated up. Well, the G ball the game ball,
(01:31:22):
so the quarterbacks and gripping a little better. Is is
inflated down? Unbelievable and so Evan McPherson said that if
those three Bengal defenders surrounding the number eighty four of
the Bears had actually tackled him on the thirty yard
line and the Bengals would not call a time out,
I hope they wouldn't. To get the field goal team on,
(01:31:44):
they had to use the G ball, which is the
game ball, and not the K ball. Because the reason
Evan McPherson used the K ball, no timeout was called
and which chase the ball was still there, and the
officials don't switch out the balls to be kicked if
it's a field goal at the clock is running. So
little things like that determine the outcome of games. You
(01:32:05):
know what I'm saying. You repeat that one more time.
I'm not sure I can, okay, because I haven't McPherson's
go down there between the K ball and the G
ball and the whatever bawl. By the way, I also
have a picture here. I may put this on my account.
This is Joe Burrow, sent to me by a police
officer friend of mine, wearing a dress during a New
(01:32:26):
York fashion show. He was on the runway dressing as
a woman. He was he was at the Dell High
skirt game. That's why. What is that Joe Burrow in
a dress? I don't know. You should know what I
don't know. I don't even I haven't even met him yet.
(01:32:46):
Oh oh, there's another trade we got action. Well, I
don't know, but actually he looks pretty good. He looks
good as a joker too, doesn't he? Yeah? Does Rocky
Boyman know about I'm going to send this to Rocky
with your permission. Anymore? What do you got there? And nothing?
Got nothing? All right? Segment, give me out of the
(01:33:07):
stad's report, please, will you and utter of a nice
day here in the Tri State and go vote. No,
wait a minute, if you're a dumb ass, don't vote.
Do you want people to vote that don't know what
they're doing. We leave you with the immortal words of
the stud report. Well, we'll see what happens, won't we.
And I don't mean to demean people that don't vote.
(01:33:27):
Number one, you may not vote because you're satisfied with
the way things are. Or number two, you may be
so unconcerned with the elective office of those who hold them.
That's not your main to your life. I don't want
somebody to go vote who has no clue what they're doing.
It cast the ballot and validates the ballot of someone
who cares about a candidate or an issue. So if
(01:33:48):
you're a dumb ass, don't vote. In fact, I'm a
dumb ass myself. There are many things in life I
know nothing about. So what I operate on someone's eye
because I want to know. No, you got to get knowledge.
Got to go online votohio dot org. Find out what
the issues are in your little district or your township
or city. Find out who the candidates are. If you're
(01:34:08):
voting four, Levey like you should vote for the Deer
Park Community Schools. But as we're doing great work in
Deer Park, one of the top ten districts in this
hamlet County is deer Park. The teacher student ratio is great.
They're passing all the tests. They have good sports teams.
We're gonna start playing Middletown to get more confidence. I'm
telling you right now, segment, this is a special time
to be involved in the process. But don't ever see
(01:34:29):
I'm a babbling fool, drooling down my lips. I am
a dumb ass. I agree, we're all dumb, just about
different things, right, segment. You're stupid about a bunch of stuff,
aren't you sure? Am you admit to that? Yeah, let's
start you. I'm stupid, okay, no question. I mean I
think I'm bright, which is different than being stupid. If
(01:34:50):
you're bright, you have a supple intellect able to understand things.
But if you're stupid, you don't have conversant understanding of
an issue. There are many issues. I have no conversant
understanding of it all. But I'm smart. I do well
on the IQ test, like a one forty one fifty.
I'm really smart. But there's certain things I know nothing about.
And now one thing I do know is something about
I think is politics from an American perspective, not Democrat,
(01:35:12):
not Republican, but American Yeah, get informed and go vote
and change the direction of your community. If you're unhappy,
don't be a clown anymore on your cell phone anymore.
