Speaker 1 (00:06):
Notuly hunting him the Great America War from this Friday afternoon.
The Tri State Lot's going on in River City over
the weekend, plus the Reds are in Pittsburgh. Paul Skins
is scheduled to pitch the next three games in Pittsburgh,
and after that we'll see what occurs. Last time I'm
watching the World Cup, I've become a little bit of
a fan now and essentially Turkey, if I was saying
that correctly, Turkey has somehow hit a buzzer beater just

(00:30):
as the time expires to beat the US three to two.
But it didn't matter, but in sense it did. Breaking
it all down is Moeger Mohager. Welcome again to the
Bill Cunningham Show this Friday afternoon. And first of all,
it's been our scheduling every ten to twenty percent of
the schedule of the Reds to kind of say where
we are, where we've been, where we hope to be.
And tomorrow will be the game number eighty one. I'm

(00:51):
a numbers guy. You kind of work in poetry. I
work in pros And right now the redg of thirty
seven and forty two nine games have played, They've scored
three hundred and thirty one runs, which is the worst
in the division. Against the divisional opponents, I think they're
like two and sixteen or two and seventeen. You may
not know, MO. That's not very good. And against all

(01:12):
the other teams though, they're nine games over five hundred
and So I've made the offer. Maybe Castellini could get
a hold of Rob Manford and get the Reds out
of the National League Central quickly, get them in the
American League Central, switch out with the Indians. May I say, Indians, Guardians,
come on down to Cincinnati. That may solve the problem.
But give me your view of the first half of

(01:33):
the Reds baseball season. Where we are, where we've been,
and where we hope to be. You know what I'm saying,
profoundly disappointing. And I go back to three years ago.
I go back to three years ago at this time,
do you remember the twenty twenty three Reds. Absolutely Dela
Cruz comes up, twenty things are.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Good, yep, Ella de la Cruz comes up, Matt McClain
comes up, Andrew Abbott comes up, and the Reds had
this team that at this stage of the season three
years ago was charging toward first place. You remember, in
the middle of June, they won twelve consecutive games, they
were in first place. They were they had re energized

(02:10):
the fan base, and I think more than anything else,
they made a lot of us feel like, Okay, maybe
there's not a short term payoff. Maybe this team this
season isn't quite yet ready to contend. But by the
time we get to the middle of the decade, it's
gonna be go time. It's gonna be the guys they
have now will have coalesced into a really nice collection

(02:31):
of players they could add to from the outside, and
by the middle of the decade, the Reds will seriously
be ready to contend. Right now, Willie, the Reds are
five hundred five hundred since Ellie Delacruz got called up.
I did this on social media maybe a week and
a half ago, and I haven't updated it. But since
the day that Ellie Dela Cruz got called up, I
believe the Reds have lost more games than they have won.

(02:53):
In the middle of all that, they hired Terry Francona,
a Hall of Fame manager, beloved figure in the game
that a lot of people believed when the Reds added
him that was a missing piece. Since the Reds hired
Terry Francona, they have lost one more game than they
have won. So I think relative to where we were
three years ago and relative to where we were in

(03:14):
October or November of twenty twenty four when the Reds
hired Terry Francona, for the Reds to be where they are,
which is right now five hundred, five hundred forever away
from first place, five and a half out of the
last wildcard, with a whole bunch of teams between them
and the last spot, which is currently occupied by the
Saint Louis Cardinals, it is a profound failure for this
club to be where it is. And I think, if

(03:35):
you're a Reds fan right now, what you're searching for
is you and I talk about it all the time.
You're searching for a reason to believe, You're searching for
a reason for hope. What do the Reds as a
baseball organization do well. I'm not talking about the marketing
end of it, not talking about the community relations end
of it, not talking about the ballpark experience end of it,
not talking about the Hall of Fame or alumni part
of it, All of that stuff is awesome. As a

(03:57):
baseball organization, what do they do well? Do they draft well?

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Well?

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Recent history would suggest not really. Are they great at
finding hidden gems?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Are they awesome at trading away established players for guys
who are long term assets? Doesn't feel like the answer
is yes. Are they awesome at player development? I think
you'd have a hard time saying the answer is yes.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
What are they good at?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Are they awesome at throwing money blindly at free agents?
Obviously the answer is not yes. There As an organization,
what are they good at?

Speaker 4 (04:31):
What?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
You're having a hard time coming up with an answer.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
So, okay, fine, you admit all that, But you've got
this Hall of Fame manager who at least is supposed
to give you a tactical advantage against anybody you play.
I think anybody who has watched the Reds over last
week would scoff at the notion that Terry Francona is
pressing all the right buttons. So why right now, as
you and I sit here, right before the halfway mark

(04:54):
of the season, a week or two before the All
Star break, with this team having just gotten beaten by
the Milwaukee Brewers, why are we to believe that dramatically
better outcomes are ahead this year. And why are we
to believe that in the coming seasons the results are
going to be profoundly different and better than they've been
for the better part of the last thirty years.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, mo, I would say this, that hope seems forlorned
And I look at this, and you know, I played
baseball at Thomas Funeral Home, Deer Park High School, played
in the summer with Joehawk and Hal Pennington Scholarship Xavior Baseball,
and then I coached for ten or fifteen years, not
whole Double ABC did all And as you know, a manager,

(05:37):
as far as what's happening on the field, whether it's
at Double ABC or whether it's the Reds, the same
formula apply. So I'm thinking to myself, I'm watching listening
to the game on the other night, Wednesday night, and
they got first and second nobody out in ninth inning.
Would you agree this is a critical part of the season.
They're losing six to five, and so whatever you do,

(05:58):
all the skills at Tito Francona must arise at that
point and say, let's think through the next two or
three batters. I gotta get Dela Cruz up, I gotta
get stir it up now. Number one, How in the
hell you put a player Myers in the middle of that,
I don't know. God only knows. But you don't bunt
Arroyo because all that means is the next batter up

(06:19):
is going to be walked automatically to set up a
double play ball. And so you have the slowest runner
in baseball at second base, a broken down old catcher.
You got a guy who's I don't think has ever
bunt in the major league's Arroyo, who may have talent,
may not. So you give up an out when you
want to get to Dela Cruz and Stuart would you
agree that was a managerial blunder of historical proportions give

(06:41):
up and out? Never didn't like it.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I'm not a big fan of bunting because I feel
like it decreases your chances of scoring multiple runs. And
what the Reds needed there were multiple runs. But I
mean to me, if the bunt is successful, you're taking
the bat out of Elie Dela Cruz's hands, And I'm
not sure why anybody would lean into any strategy takes
the bat out of your best player's hands.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
So what that happen? Doesn't It doesn't make any sense. Tino. Okay,
let's say it's successful and you got second and third.
What are you gonna do with Dela Cruz? Well, you're
gonna walk in, Yes, you give it up? And how
does that one? I don't get that one good part
when you listen to when you listen to the Reds
management without reference to a name, the team is coming back.

(07:24):
We're gonna get a Hunter Green back after the All
Star break. Maybe next week we're gonna get Pegan's gonna
come back. The pitching staff starting pitching staff is pretty good,
they think, and we need some hitting. Soarez has failed
at fifteen million dollars that here we are halfway in
the season. He's not playing up to that level. And
I would push back on the Great Moager a little bit.
As far as spending money. The red spent money on

(07:45):
Moose mus Takas, they spent money on a Hunter Green,
they spend money on candelaria. They do spend money, and
they spend it wrongfully. And so I'm thinking to the
three or four guys, they spend one hundred and twenty
million dollars on those three or four guys aren't playing,
so they do spend money on mustakas and candelaria, and

(08:06):
they spent money on Hunter Green, who has not performed.
But they do spend money just on the wrong people.
So have come the Milwaukee brew Crew, which has less
payroll than the Reds, and the Pirates have less payroll
than the Reds, and the Cardinals have less payroll. With
the Reds and the Cardinals having a bad year supposedly,
but they're in front of the Reds all the good

(08:27):
player I can't name a player for the Cardinals, and
probably you can name some players for the Brewers, but
I don't know who they are. But nonetheless, on paper,
beginning in March when I gave my great speech with
you and Lance Red's opening day, the Reds are going
to be a year better, not a year older. And
they had Suarez coming in and look at the development
of brilliant pitching. I'm thinking, Okay, they're going to win

(08:50):
at least eighty three games right now. They'll be hard
to get to seventy five games. So there's a question
in there somewhere. Can you answer it well?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
And just to clarify, I think it's a criticism of
the Reds not spending money, I think it's it's it's there.
They're not known for spending money wisely, they're not known
for I mean, say what you want about the money
they have spent. They're not known as an organization and
perhaps rightly so that is just going to throw money
blindly at every single problem and and hope that some

(09:18):
some some cures arise. There's a lot there, Willie, you know,
there's there are just so many fundamental things that you
want to see the Reds do well. And I'm not
sure they do any of them well. But the Milwaukee
Brewers do so. Like if you read about Pat Murphy, yeah,
who was in his third season there, who replaced Craig Counsel,

(09:41):
who's got a great reputation in that game. With Pat
Murphy you read about, and an unwillingness to tolerate mistakes,
a level of accountability there that exists in Milwaukee culture
building an organization that I mean, they spend less than
the Reds. They've let some very good players go away,
but they're really good at drafting and developing. They're really

(10:03):
good at at turning over hidden gems and getting value
out of players that other teams couldn't you know? I
watched the other night Joe Coonell saved two of the
games here in Cincinnati, Monday night and Wednesday. Do you
remember when Joe Coonel pitched for the Cincinnati Reds.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Somebody told me he did, but I don't remember. I know, don't.
I don't recall that? All right?

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, well he did, and he pitched for the Reds
for quite a while. In fact, he and I'm looking
at it right now, sixty nine games as a Red
between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty three with an ERA
of six point twenty. And yet the other night, Pat
Murphy trusted him to get the closing outs on Monday,

(10:45):
and then when he was totally gassed, he gets the
closing outs because they had used their closer on Monday
and Tuesday. He got the closing outs on on Wednesday night.
That's a small sample, but it's it's another guy. The
Brewers get that.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
This dude was.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Cut by the A's or earlier this season. The Brewers
get him at him, and they get something out of him.
Maybe only a handful of games, but they get something
out of him. Are the Reds good at that? Are
are the Reds good at taking players that you know what,
maybe their flaws couldn't be overcome in one city, but
here we can fix them. You know, I heard when
they acquired Key Brian Hayes last year, Key Brian Hayes,

(11:21):
in a move that I'm still scratching my head over.
They trade for him at the trade deadline, an offensively
deficient team trading for a guy who can't hit. And
what I heard was, well, they can figure out a
way to unlock something there offensively. Do that happen before
he got hurt? No, the answer is no. So like
as an organization, what are they good at? For years,

(11:41):
we used to hear about the Saint Louis Cardinals, the
Cardinal Way, where it felt like every single year they
would bring guys through the system and they showed up
and they didn't have to get sent back.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
They showed up and they were ready to contribute immediately.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
They weren't all all stars, in fact, most of them weren't,
but there was a cardinal way of teaching the game,
of developing plays, of ensuring that they knew how to play,
didn't make a lot of mistakes.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
What's the Rad's way? But what is the what is
what is the reds way?

Speaker 5 (12:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
I don't know, And so, like I think the frustrating
thing is this isn't you know. We could talk about
some of Terry Francona's moves over the last couple of weeks,
and it's fair to discuss them, and a number of
them have been head scratching. But it's it's not just
one thing. It's not just well, you know, Tito doesn't
know what he's doing. It's not just well, you know what,
they signed some guys or acquired some players that just

(12:28):
haven't worked out. It's drafting, it's developing, it's retaining, it's
making the most out.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Of what you have. None of it's worked.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
So so if none of it has worked over these
last few years, why am I to believe that suddenly
it's gonna work here in the second half of the season.
Why am I to believe that it's gonna start suddenly
working next year or the year after that or the
year after that. And by the way, I didn't account
for the lockout that's gonna probably interrupt the season in
twenty twenty seven. So like you could say, well, we're
just wait, we're gonna get Hunter green back. Okay, I

(12:58):
feel like for years been hearing the message from GABP
being just.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Wait, just hang on.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
We're gonna get so and so back, or we're gonna
get so and so. We're gonna go get so and
so at the deadline, or we're gonna go get so
and so in the 're just hang on, just gonna
tread water.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Like No.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
They were twenty and eleven through thirty one games since
May the first. They have the worst record in baseball.
For this team to get to eighty three wins, which
is what they got to last year, eighty three wins,
they'll have to go forty six and thirty seven the
rest of the way. That's five point fifty four baseball.
With this team as currently constructed. Do you think that's

(13:36):
that's possible. Do you think they're capable of doing that.
That's to get to eighty three wins, not ninety three,
not eighty eight, not eighty six, eighty three, they have
to go nine over five hundred the rest of the way,
with a schedule that still includes ten against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
They still have and I could look this up.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Prior to last week, they had the toughest remaining schedule
in all the Major League Baseball and they still do.
They have seven with the LA Dodgers, six more with
the Atlanta Braves. They have three with the Philadelphia Phillies.
They still have nine against the Chicago Cubs. They still
have eight with the Saint Louis Cardinals, who have kicked
them around this year. So like, all right, hey, they're
gonna get Hunter green back. But that's awesome. Like I

(14:18):
am at a loss to describe or explain why anybody
should believe that this is gonna turn around here in
the second half of the season to the degree that
it's opposed to, which is the Reds making the postseason lost.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Lastly, are you ready for the big question? Yeah? We
have about five weeks until I think the trade deadlines,
like August third, something like that. So the Reds have
five weeks to go. Are there more than three or
four players that are untouchable. I'm thinking of Chase Burns,
Ellie and maybe Salved just call sal Other than that

(14:54):
in salth has been except as fast start, he's been okay,
not very good. But nonetheless, the Reds go on a
sale basis instead of an acquisition that's going to further
erode the fan base, which is right now demoralized and confused.
So do the Reds, assuming they're treading water the next
five weeks, and assuming they're still twelve and a half

(15:15):
out or five and a half out of the wild card,
assuming they still have the worst record in all of
baseball since made the first they halfway mark part of
the season is on Saturday. Do the Reds have a
fire sale? And if so, who conducts it? And do
you trust the judgment of Nick Crawl to make those
decisions or meter? No? No, I don't know how anybody does.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
And like, yeah, Eli Della Cruise is untouchable, Sal Stewart's untouchable,
Chase Barns is untouchable, But like they're not going to
trade Hunter Green at the deadline, that would be selling low.
I certainly do believe there's a world where maybe they
move on from him this offseason. I find it hard
to believe that somebody's going to give you top dollar
for a guy who's always hurt when he's been back
for basically a month. I think Tyler Stevenson's interesting. He's

(15:58):
due to be a free agent at the end of
the season. There probably aren't gonna be a ton of
catchers who are available. But Tyler Stevenson's not having a
good offensive season. No, he didn't have a good offensive
season last year. Look at the other components that you
would move on from. Is anybody gonna give you a
lot for JJ Bleday? Is anybody gonna give you a
lot for a Uhenio Suarez not having a good season
at all? Is anybody gonna give you a lot for

(16:19):
any of their relief pitchers? So that there are guys
that the Reds will probably try to flip and they
may get something of value back, But are they gonna
get a lot? Like if you're looking at the trade
deadline as the impetus for you know, a whole new
a collection of talent. Man, I don't know where that
comes from. I think this Willie. This is a profound disappointment.

(16:42):
This process started. The Reds chose to be really bad
in twenty twenty two. Chose to and maybe rightfully so.
They trade away Jesse Winker, are Juhaniosjrez Castianos doesn't come back.
They trade away Sunny Gray the deadline that year, they
trade away Tyler Mallley and Luis Castillo they lost one
hundred games, and I think we all sort of said, Okay, fine,

(17:02):
then there's got to be a payoff. The payoff is
supposed to be now, Well, the payoff right now looks
like thirty seven and forty two and the worst record
in the sport since May the first. By the middle
of the decade, I think we all believed genuine contention
was gonna be here. I would not call last year
a genuine contention. They snuck into the postseason after Game one,

(17:24):
sixty two and were quickly dispatched by the LA Dodgers.
That wasn't genuine contention. It was nice, It was a
nice step. It was fun in September eighty three and
seventy nine, and being chumped for the LA Dodgers isn't
genuine contention. When does genuine contention get here? The answer
was supposed to be middle of the decade. Well, here
we are five hundred five hundred going into the final

(17:46):
weekend of June.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Moe, let's have an uplifting conversation once again, Thanks for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. All I have is
hope and Moe keep hope alive. Mo Eger, thank you,
very mad guess sir, I A let's continue with more
on news radio seven hundred WLW. Great j Evy with
me this Friday afternoon. Keep hope alive. All I have
is hope, and as far as the Reds are concerned,

(18:09):
I have hope that maybe things will be different in
the past they've been in the in the better in
the future than they are have been in the past.
It's not good, but nonetheless, way else do we go.
I was born a Reds fan, I live a Reds fan,
I will die a Reds fan. I just went the
team to do a little bit better, and right now
it looks rather dire. Last place. Nowhere to go but up.

(18:29):
We'll see what happens this weekend in Pittsburgh than four
in Milwaukee. And away we go, getting back to reality.
After one o'clock today, State Treasurer Robert Sprague is going
to be here. As you know, Robert Sprague is keeping
track of the money in the state of Ohio. But secondly,
the Secretary of State is the position he wants to
go to next. And your a good friend of mine,
Mike DeWine, has vetoed the voter id law. He also

(18:53):
has in a sense veto the death penalty. He won't
sign any more death warns. Of course, he hadn't sign
any anyway. That's about one hundred and fifteen men on
death row. We'll see what happens down the road. But
I'm going to quiz the Robert Sprague about his support
and non support for a constitutional amendment in the state
of Ohio to require voter ID. Now, some may say

(19:13):
it's not necessary, it's irrelevant. It's not irrelevant, and it
might be necessary because state legislatures in the future can
change the law and require no voter ID, like in
many blue cities and blue states. So if it's a duplicitus,
so be it. Let's put it in there anyway to
make sure it's enshrine in the Ohio Constitution, which is
very hard to change. So I'm a little disappointed in

(19:37):
Mike Dwine. I catch serious flack for my friends and
family members, not for my family, for my friends about
my support for Mike to Wine. I support him as
a person. He's honest, He's going to live out his
best life the last six months of his term. We
talk on and off the air. I've known him from
us fifty years, and I like Mike, and last time

(19:59):
he faced the voters, by the way, he got sixty
two percent of the vote, which is by far the
highest percentage of votes any Republican maybe has ever received,
certainly in the past fifty years. But Mike DeWine got
sixty two percent of the vote and was re elected. Now,
if he would have said I'm against voter id and
I'm against the death penalty, I'm not sure he would

(20:20):
have gotten sixty two percent of the vote. But whether
it's Taft or Kasik or Dwine, we've had somewhat moderate
Republicans in the office of the governorship. And I have
hope this year. All I have in life is hope
that Vivek Ramaswami should be elected well governed as a conservative,
not as a moderate Republican. That's my hope. And by

(20:41):
the way, when I had him on the air a
day or two ago, I discussed that off the air
with him and he said he'll be the first conservative
governor in a long time. And I said, well, he's
not going to get sideways with Mike DeWine or John Kaseik.
I think Bob Taff is still alive, but I'm not sure.
But Nonetheless, he said, I'm not going to get sideways
with people, but I'm going to move. I want to
tell you what I'm going to do. I'm not going
to criticize Mike de Wine, which is what Vivik's policy is,

(21:05):
which politically makes some sense. So we're going to see
Robert Sprague's coming up here at about twenty minutes to
see where we are with that and elsewhere. And secondly,
of course, the Reds baseball begins tonight, the Bengals start
in about three weeks, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Brian Combs bring this up, and I caught a little
bit of flack for one of my ex postings last

(21:26):
night was I'm going to share with you right now,
and that is that where we are in this country
relative to Haiti in the TPS is something that I
support one thousand percent. The Supreme Court is definitely right there,
right on the law, and the right on the science,
and the right on the politics. But they shouldn't care

(21:47):
about it. But the original law in nineteen ninety when
this was past TPS temporary protective status was passed with
the idea that guess what it's temporary. And secondly, in
the law, it states that no judicial court may review
the determinations of the President when it comes to TPS.

(22:10):
So all the US Supreme Court did was look at
the law, look at the fourth and the fourteenth Amendment,
and say, guess what the Congress has spoken. The Congress
has said it is temporary. The Congress has said it
is not subject to judicial review. So they simply followed
the law. So I said the following on my ex
account quote, if Haitians left Haiti did a gang violence

(22:35):
and murder given temporary protective status in America? Should Warren
and Butler County offer TPS to Cincinnatians living in horrible
violence on the main streets of the NATI. What twenty
thousand bullets fired yearly? Would you accept Cincinnati refugees in
your hometown? Think about it this way, my fellow Americans,

(22:56):
I sound like a politician. Think about it this way.
According to i'm a demographics, there's about two point two
million Americans live to I said two point two million
in the Cincinnati metro area. That is about seventeen counties.
Take the core Ones, Take Hamilton, Boonca, and Campbell, Take Warren,
tag Butler, take Claremont, throw in uh Lawrenceburg. Throw in that,

(23:20):
and you largely have and throw it a few more
ancillary counties. According to the experts, two point two million
live in the Cincinnati demographic area. Two point two million.
Of that two point two million, how many live in
the city of Cincinnati, And what's that percentage? Well, the
answer is three hundred thousand live in the in the

(23:41):
city of Cincinnati, which is about fourteen percent of the total.
So am my demographic For example, eighty six percent of
those hearing my voice right now do not live in
the city of Cincinnati. Only about fourteen percent do so
in your area. I spent time with Weatherington, with the

(24:02):
Great Frank Zi Bell and my buddies. I spend time
in Boone County. I spend time in Butler County. I
spend time in Claremont County. I spend time in Campbell County,
in Kenton County, and except in the city of Cincinnati,
largely you couldn't live in a less violent place. In fact,
the New York Post did a story how about this one?

(24:22):
If you take the five cities the five worst crime
cities in America out of the statistics America is not
on the top one hundred when it comes to crime
in the world. Accept in those five cities, hell take
out ten take out. Accord to New York Post take
Out ten Violent Cities, America is one hundred and twelfth

(24:45):
of the nations on the planet. So, if you live
in Westchester or Boone County or Lawrenceburg, if you live
in Claremont County, if you live in Green County, how
peaceful is life? And I asked this question, I've yet
to get a yes. How many times in your life

(25:05):
have you heard a gunshot fired as part of a
criminal enterprise. I've yet to get a yes, including from
Shari Pololo had on a couple of nights a couple
of days ago, and she said, well, you know, except
covering a crime story, I think she lives in Mason. No,
bullets aren't flying around anywhere. Twenty thousand happened to the

(25:29):
city of Cincinnati every year. Bullets are flying everywhere. And
she interviewed a little six year old boy might have
been seven. She related to this on the air. It's
just a cute little kid in the first or second
grade and cps going to school of bright eyed and
bushy tailed ready to learn, six seven years old, ready
to meet the challenges of life. And this little boy
said to Shari Polo of the power of five, I

(25:52):
like coming to this, Why this facility? I get out
of my house because so many people are shooting bullets
and most coming through the walls, and I'm thinking, what
is wrong with this? What is wrong with this picture?
When Cincinnati, by the way, it's only about twenty second,

(26:14):
twenty third in violence. The other Blue cities are worse.
The Blue states, and the Blue cities are absolutely the worst. Chicago,
New York, Memphis, you know, uh, Baltimore, San Francisco, La.
They're the worst of the worst. Blue cities are the
worst because soft on crime. And it doesn't have to
you don't have to live like that. And so why

(26:35):
do we have that now? I've lived in Madeira and
Kenwood and Deer Park for basically all my life, except
my seven years in Toledo, when I lived at twenty
four Road three Sheltenham and Old Orchard. I liked it there.
Same thing there. It's like a donut with a hole
in the middle and a wonderful pastry around. And so
when I said on my ex account, would you accept

(26:57):
refugees from the city of Cincinnati to get out of
the violence, the mayhem, the delusion, the crime, the terrible schools,
the high taxes, they're graffitian more. Would you accept refugees
from Cincinnati? Most people would say yes. So for those
liberals who say Haitians should not go back to Haiti,

(27:20):
maybe Cincinnatians should not go back to the Nati because
of the violence in the crime. There's not one resident
who's been in the city more than a few months
that have not heard gunshots on a regular basis. It's
almost like a warzone. You kind of get yourself, you know,
you got to keep your head down, where to go,
where or not to go. And that doesn't count the

(27:41):
drug sales, the graffiti, the homelessness, jumping in and out
of the fountain, the kids on motorbikes on the sidewalk.
Doesn't include the robberies, the burglaries, the dui, the driving
under system, it doesn't include any of that stuff. I'm
talking about. Gunshots alone measured that we live in a
very very peaceful part of the world. And on top

(28:03):
of that, this simple factoid that two percent I said,
two percent of American counties harbor about sixty five percent
of the crime I said two percent. So if you're
in an area like the city of Cincinnati, or the
city of Dayton, or Chicago all those other areas two percent,
you're in the violent part. But ninety eight percent of

(28:25):
the counties have little or no crime that affects the
quality of life. Are there passing bad check charges? Absolutely?
Are there some minor burglaries and robberies and breaking into cars. Absolutely,
crimes happen everywhere all the time. The proportionality and the
prevalence of crime is a completely different item, you know

(28:46):
what I'm saying, completely different. Don't have to live like that.
We don't have to live like that. And any person
any traditional standard of behavior or achievement that impedes exact
racial proportionality is now presumed to be racist. So when
this report came out that if you're a black person

(29:07):
three times more likely than a white person to be stopped,
does that mean you should stop more white people for crime?
Does that mean that somehow white women, the largest number
of the demographics, should be pulled over more. No, I'm
surprised there's only three to one because the great amount
of crime and Cincinnati are committed by young Black males,
and the great majority of any crime in any major

(29:29):
city is committed by young black males. I always follow
it up by saying the following, The great majority of
young black males are not involved in criminal activity at all.
In fact, they're the victims of it. In America between
the age of fifteen and thirty, black males fifteen to
thirty years old, a total of one point eight percent

(29:49):
of the population is between fifteen years old and thirty
that are young Black males. That one point eight percent
commits about fifty four percent of Syria crime. Instead of
focusing on that issue, those in city governments like Brandon
Johnson in Chicago. I'm watching him and they have to appear.
Of all here comes up with excuses and reasons, whether

(30:12):
it's white privilege, a white supremacy, whatever it is to
excuse bad behavior. Choices are made by the kids committing
those crimes. The great majority ninety percent of black kids
are not involved in any crime at all. Ninety percent
of Black kids they made the choices to lead a
different kind of a life. The other ten percent of
black kids have made other choices that are extremely bad

(30:35):
for their community and for America in general. Can you
smell when I'm cooking? So if there's refugees from the
city of Cincinnati that need to get out of the
circumstances in which they find themselves, would not not makes
sense to have a refugee program Temporary Protective status TPS
and lets a few thousand of these kids get out

(30:57):
of the city of Cincinnati, go into Liverpool areas and
see how the world really exists. Do you support me
in TPS status for Cincinnatians who need to be refugees.
Let's continue with more after one o'clock today will be
Robert Sprague, the man who would be Secretary of State.
Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred Wow, Billy Cunningham, the

(31:26):
great American. As you may know, Robert Sprague is the
State of Ohio treasurer, is the chief investment officer in
charge of the money, and is running to become the
Secretary of State, which is a very important position, especially
of voter ideas passed by the voters in November. As
you may know, Governor Mike DeWine vetoed legislation and may
be overridden, may not be, but nonetheless we had had

(31:47):
on yesterday for veg Ramaswami to talk about the people
of Ohio directly voting to put it in the constitution
so that future legislators cannot change it. And Treasurer Robert
Sprague go welcome, I think for the first or second
time to the Bill Cunningham Show. But Robert, talk to
me generally about the fiscal health of the state of Ohio.

(32:08):
Are we in good shape or bad shape as we
speak with all the money going to more Tannian Somali's
who may be leaving the country soon because of the
recent Supreme Court's decision. Give me a full report in
the state's financial health.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
Well, look, first of all, let me talk about the fraud,
the medicaid fraud.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
You know, we're in the process of.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Working with the Department of Justice, and I stood there
shoulder to shoulder with Orlando Sanza and Acting Attorney Blanche
and the Director of the FBI, Patel, and we all
resolved to make sure that Ohio is the test case
and the standard by which other states can measure their

(32:48):
fraud fighting efforts. And so we're actively working with the
Department of Justice right now to sign a memorandum of understanding.
So that they have access to our financial data and
they can hunt down these fraudsters and not just pull
them accountable or prosecute them, which I think is critical.
So Mother in that state of Ohio is doing well, fascally.

(33:10):
Our economy is on the rebound, and I think your
financial position is good.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
So with the Trumpster in charge in Washington, the Red States,
which is about thirty to fifty, are sharing data AI,
et cetera between their computers and the DC computers to
find out who's a citizen, who's not a citizen, who's
getting it illegally, who's sign up for Social Security wrongfully,
or this not benefits proper. So I assume about sixty

(33:38):
percent of the states cooperate. If you're in a blue
city and a blue state like Los Angeles, California, and
New York York City, if you're in Chicago and the
state government doesn't share data with the FEDS, what kind
of impediment is that?

Speaker 4 (33:55):
Well, I think it's a don't ask, don't tell, and
you know, quite frankly, they're creating.

Speaker 6 (33:59):
Systems that will allow fraud.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
And what we've seen is that in the medicaid system,
if you create a system where people can cheat, Bill,
they will cheat, and the same is true of our
voting system. So it's not just the financial piece that
they're after, it's also our elections. And that's why when
you're talking with Bavati other day in his run for governor,

(34:23):
he feels so strongly that the people of the state
of Ohio should and Scott's photo ID for our elections
in the Ohio constitution. It's a different kind of fraud.
It's just as damaging to our state as the financial fraud.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Sure it is. It leaves. You know, if the state
cannot keep the barn doors locked before the fraud leaves,
it's much easier to do that than to go out
there and corral one hundred loose horses running around again
him back in the barn. And I'm a little demoralized.
As a conservative, Republican libertarian kind of a guy. I

(34:57):
thought about putting Republicans in charge of stake government, we
wouldn't have the problem in the first place. Am I wrong?

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Well, I think the first thing we need to do
is we've got to have photo ID because photo IDA
is a building block, you know, for any kind of
security measure within a board of elections. You have to
know that people are who they say they are. And
I was pretty disappointed to see that the bill that
would require photo ID with the mail in ballots just

(35:28):
got muted because it wasn't a panacea. It wasn't going
to solve all the problems that we have, but it
would have been a giant step forward to make sure
that we treat people to show up at the polls.

Speaker 6 (35:40):
The same we do is people that mail.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
In ballots, and it would you know, we need to
require people that are mailing in a ballot because look,
that's where the greatest fraud risk is. We need to
require them to submit a copy of their photo ID.
It's not discriminatory, it's not a giant burden. Other states
do it and they don't discriminate or disenfranchise any American voter.

(36:05):
And it's sign for al to do the same. But
when I'm Secretary of State, that's exactly what we'll do.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Let's talk for a moment about that position, Secretary of State.
We've had a bunch of good ones the last eight
to fifteen years, and I think the office is in
pretty good shape. What would you do differently than Frank Lorosa?
What would you do differently than other Secretary of States
we've had the last twenty years. I think all have
been I think all have been Republicans. What would Robert

(36:32):
Sprague do differently?

Speaker 4 (36:34):
Well, look, I think first of all, you've got to
give Frank Lrose incredible a lot of credit for running
some of the best elections in the United States of America.
And I'm not running to burn down the Secretary of
States office or our local boards of elections. They do
a great job and we get elections right here in
the state of Ohio. But there are something that I
would improve. First of all, I would insist it for

(36:58):
every registration record that we make sure that on the
front end we checked for American citizenship. Why because only
American citizens should be allowed to vote in our Ohio elections.
So I would make sure that for all those registrations we.

Speaker 6 (37:14):
Have a citizenship check.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
You know. Also, I'd like to see the twelve counties
that don't use a separate paper printed ballot move team
machines that allow a separate piece of paper to be
part of their election system. Why because that creates a
perfect and immutable audit trail, and we need to upgrade
the machines in those counties so that we can go

(37:36):
back and count the paper and make sure that the
machines are telling us the truth. And then I think
the final piece is this photo ID, which is fundamental
to election security. We should require photo IDs to go
along with Ohio mail and ballots, and we should ensconce
the most important things in our election system in the

(37:57):
Ohio constitution so that the left this can't strip it out.
And I am absolutely going to campaign very hard this
November to make sure that we put photo ID into
Ohio's constitution.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Robert Sprague I head on Guests from California about a
week ago when all hell was breaking loose with Kim
Bass and winning that thing and the mayor's thing over Pratt,
and there was hundreds of videos that hit the Internet
in which hundreds or a few thousands of organizers called
ballot harvesting, and what they did was take blank ballots

(38:32):
into things such as mental hospitals, jails, county facilities. They
took them to the homeless encampment. There's about fifty thousand
homeless in the city of Los Angeles, and it cost
one hundred thousand dollars per year per homeless, and these
individuals with blank ballots, had these individuals make an X
or a signature at the bottom, and then the ballots

(38:53):
were filled out by the so called organizer and they
turned in thousands and thousands of ballots of the election postmark,
and they still have an determine the outcome. Here we
are three weeks later, and we still don't know officially
who won the mayor's position in LA because literally thousands

(39:13):
of activists took tens of thousands of empty ballots and
people put their X on the bottom same day registration,
no voter ID, and they turn them in as legitimate ballots.
How square is that kind of election? Robert Sprague? Does
that frost you quite a bit to think about people
being elected like that?

Speaker 4 (39:34):
You know, it's really sad because let me tell you
what that does is it makes people think that their
vote doesn't count, and it doesn't when you have fraudulent
registrations or you have fraudulent ballots that are submitted, and
then voter turnout goes down because people feel like their
vote doesn't matter what we want to do in Ohio.
And by the way, I can say that as a Republican,

(39:55):
I'm forced secure elections and elections that are held with integrity.
But Democrat opponent is pretty far left and the radicals
on the left. You can see what they've done out
in California. They would love to institute that exact same
system in Ohio.

Speaker 6 (40:11):
It's called universal mail in ballot where.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
They mail everybody a ballot regardless of whether or not
you've requested them. They don't require any kind of photo ID,
and you end up with that, and then they have
a lot of drop boxes so that these ballot harvesters
can stuff the ballots in the ballot drop box. It's
a recipe for not just insecurity, but for cheating, and
that's the last thing we want to have in Ohio.

(40:35):
We're common sense people and we want to run good,
fair elections that are secure, and that's what I'm going
to do as Secretary of State.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
I got a headline here FBI ask elections officials about
firm link to Ohio Progressive group more than a year
before a FBI raid. What can you tell us about that?

Speaker 4 (40:56):
Well, look, I think the jury is still out on that.
I don't have all the facts, neither does anyone else,
but you know, I was surprised that this group called
the Ohio Organizing Campaign Fund or the Ohio Organizing Collaborative.
I mean they paid like ten and a half million
dollars to this group Black Fork in twenty twenty three

(41:16):
and twenty twenty four, which was equal to about ninety
some percent of their entire budget, and they submitted a
lot of registrations. It seemed to be fraudulent. In terms
of the Cuyahoga County Bipartisan Board of Elections, seventeen thousand
registrations were submitted for only sixty six hundred voters. That

(41:40):
doesn't sound good. And you know, registration has to be
verified because the registration record is what allows us to
check for citizenship and residency and the age requirements to
make sure that that person is a valid elector in
the state of Ohio. So if you have bad registrations
or illegal registration, then you will have cheating in the votes,

(42:04):
and we don't want that.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
In the state of Ohio.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
So well, I mean, let's let the law enforcement do
their investigation. It's not intimidation. I think they're simply trying
to make sure that only ballid sovereign electors in the
state of Ohio are being registered to vote in our state.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
You know one thing that happens often in mail in voting,
and I normally vote mail in. I trust it because
of voter ID, but it creates opportunities for fraud. It
destroys the single most important thing that's kept America strong
for about two hundred and fifty years is the willingness
of the losing side to accept the results of the

(42:41):
election and live under the policies that you've lost. And
until recently, even when people like Jimmy Carter or Bill
Clinton was elected or Strickland, Ted Strickland was like the governor.
Even though I didn't agree, I didn't vote for him,
I had a sense that it was legitimate. But you know,
the publics can't survive if the winners feel as if

(43:05):
they're virtuous and the losers feel as if it wasn't legitimate.
So the ballots that get routed through centralized hubs where
third parties handle them in bulk, such as in these
blue cities, blue states, when you can ballot harvest when
you don't have voter ID, and you send out ballots
to people that get public assistants or driver's licenses without

(43:26):
confirming whether a citizen or not, a large number of
Americans now feel that the outcome is not legitimate, and
if it's not legitimate, that breaks down the reason that
we're a republic. You might know Robert Sprague, the three
things that happened with the Constitution the Declaration two hund
and seventy five years. Number one, our rights come from God.

(43:48):
Number two that we're in a democracy, and number three
were treated equally. That was a novel concept in seventeen
seventy six. The idea our rights, human rights come from
God and the government protects those rights. Brand new idea. Secondly,
we're going to vote to determine who our leaders are.
And number three that we accept the outcome of the

(44:10):
election because it's legitimate. And if we don't have that,
then we don't have a republic. We don't have a nation.
If millions of people can vote, shall we say without confirmation,
they're legally obligated to do so. And it's you, if
you become the Secretary of State, it's got to make
sure that's not a problem in Ohio. You can't solve
all the world's problems, but you can fix Ohio. You

(44:32):
know what I'm.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
Saying, absolutely, And you know I'd add maybe one thing
to that which is at the end of that preamble,
Thomas Jefferson added these famous words that governments are instituted
among men to secure those rights, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed. And you know that's

(44:53):
your job, the Secretary of State, is to make sure
that in our republic the consent of the governed, the
consent of the and the voice of the people is heard.
That is government of the people, for the people, by
the people. And as Secretary of State, the only thing
that I'm doing is I'm going to run the most
secure elections in the history of the state of Ohio,

(45:14):
because I want people to know that they can trust
the outcome of these elections, that they're legitimate.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Well, when the outcome is cooked ahead of time. We're
at a point now many people do not trust the system.
I think in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, we trust, But in
large cities, blue cities, blue states, we don't trust the outcome.
Robert Sprague, currently the treasurer in charge of the money,
wants to be the Secretary of State. What is your website?
If any If people need more information.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
You can always go to check out my campaign platform
at www dot Sprague for Ohio dot Com. Thanks boll
for having me on, and.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Robert Sprague, you're a great American. Good luck in God speed,
Thank you very much, thank you. Let's continue with more.
Guy makes some sense to me. But if you don't
anticipate the outcome of an election is going to be legit,
why participate in the system at all. When I see
what's happening in blue cities and blue states where ballots

(46:11):
are routed through centralized hubs and third parties handle them
in bulk without the voter actually turning, actually voting, large
numbers look like they're cooked. We're at a point now
where large numbers of my fellow Americas no longer believe that.
And I'm not paranoid. I've seen the videos and it's
sick and it's sad when thousands of ballots are filled

(46:33):
out and ballot harvesting mills by those who didn't actually vote. Now,
let's continue with more. Bill cunning and the Great American
with you every day. You're Home of the reds Tonight

Speaker 6 (50:15):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (50:16):
Tony Santion is on the fifteen day injured list, retroactive
to June twenty third. He stinks anyway with a left
oblique strain.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
That's why he threw the wild pitch.

Speaker 7 (50:26):
He's over his last eight appearances, he's got a one
point one to three.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
E er strike that from the record. What did I say?
We need him back, Zach? What did that? Yeah? But
say that again late last eight appearance.

Speaker 7 (50:39):
Last eight appearances, he has one point one three e
r A and.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
The one runn he gave up, of course cost the
whole game with the wild pitch.

Speaker 7 (50:45):
Well, and then let's see right handed pitcher Zach mccambley.
We'll be heading back. He's probably heading up I seventy
one right now what's his name, Zach mccambley. Amaze, No,

Zach used to work for us, He worked.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
This guy, same guys. Go ahead, give me some more,
you know. Let's see.

Speaker 7 (51:09):
The New York Mets have fired Carlos Mendoza.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
He's available to bust boy this weekend.

Speaker 7 (51:14):
If thirty four and forty seven, the Mets had lost
six in a row. Former Padres manager Andy Green will
step in his interim for the rest of the season.
So Alex Corra, Rob Thompson and Mendoza are three managers
so far. Let go.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
How about this record I had on Moe breaking it
down since Tito frank Conne became the Reds manager, from
that day to this day, he's got a losing record.
It's not the manager, it's not the jockeys, the players,
it's the horse. Yeah, keep talking.

Speaker 7 (51:43):
Well, yeah, the Reds open up that critical Central Division
road trip to night first or three against the Pirates
in pat Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Can you believe we get paid to do this? Olivia
Dunn's husband is pitching to him. You know, I used
to date her. I believe that Olivia done. She could
do the splits like nobody I knew.

Speaker 7 (52:00):
Five fort was sports talking the Arnold Carriers, Inside Pitch,
Kelsey Chevrolet Extra Inding show. After the game, Andrew abviod
go for Cincinnati and as Tom said, the ace of
Pittsburgh Paul skeens.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
But but.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
He's vying for his first win and eight starts. It'll
be against the winless since May the twelfth. It'll be
against the Reds since May first. Tom Gregory, the Reds
have the worst record in.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Baseball, from first place to last place and still falling.
They haven't stopped saying if he sold the business, if
you sold ribs like this, you'd be out of it.
For everybody. It's bad. It's bad. I want them to win.
Seg doesn't care. I want them to win FIFA World Cup.

Did you see these videos of these quote foreigners coming

ready ready for a question? In your young life, you've

(54:42):
got to be at least fifty years sol. Yes, have
you ever heard a gunshot fired as part of a
criminal enterprise? No, seg Have you ever heard a gunshot
fired as part of a crime in your life?

Speaker 4 (54:57):
No?

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Tom Horan, have you ever heard a gunshot fired as
part the Great American I shoot as you know, I
have many weapons, but I've never in my life heard
a gunshot fired as part of a criminal enterprise. Now,
if you live in the city of Cincinnati, as Dean
Gregory knows, twenty thousand bullets are flying around every year.
There's little children who hide at night in their bedroom

(55:19):
for fear of being gunned down. So I want to
have a TPS program, Temporary protective status. It's like the
Haitians got out Haiti. You know if Cincinnatians having lived
under these regime have had enough and they went TPS status.
But the city of Montgomery, except maybe one to two
hundred refugees in the city of Cincinnati with temporary protective status?

(55:42):
Is there a questionnaire? Sake? Please continue?

Speaker 7 (55:45):
Also and Greece, this is no surprise here. In the
National Football League, Buffalo Bills fans, including your good friend
Scott Sloan, are enraged by the outrageous ticket prices at
the new stadium.

The cheapest ticket is seven hundred dollars. I think only
goes up the cheapest ticket, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Seven hundred dollars. You see the Bills lose again? Yeah?
Tom Gregor, what do you think about that? I think
Joe Burrow will beat them up. Segment seven? What about
the Gregory seats?

Speaker 4 (56:20):

Speaker 1 (56:21):
How much of those you got to sell? More ribs?
I'm thousands of dollars to watch a game?

Speaker 7 (56:26):

think it's I think it started snowing there today.

That's right, Norri coach Norri to say that I mentioned story.
What about Caitlyn Clark? You know what they're going to
ruin that league because she has been the benchmark of
that league to get a more money, airplane rides and
everything else. And I wish you would go to Europe

(57:09):
to play. I really do know, as you would show
that that league would go away and fit in that
league would go away and and and they'd be they'd
be complaining about it.

Speaker 4 (57:19):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
I got a text here from Jeff Beckham who says
Tom Gregory has a good face for radio.

Speaker 8 (57:24):
Would you agree he's at Firestone right now? Is he
telling you a look at that a tar change with
that hole on one bore?

Speaker 1 (57:29):
What's he doing?

Speaker 8 (57:31):
Did you get a hole in one number twelve at
fire said that yes, indeed what you hit six iron
feathered six irons feather there was like.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Dean and I are playing up there. Did you get
along with Dean b Yeah. People tell me you two
in each other's throats.

Speaker 8 (57:46):
That's what cons We played up there. Remember Bobby Perty's day.
Jared took us up there. They were playing a twenty
dollars and asshole automatic presses serious money. I beat him
on the front nine. He wouldn't pay nine holes. You wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
So here you were nine up, eight up, seven up,
six up, five up, four up, three up, two up, one.

Speaker 8 (58:06):
Up, Make the turn, make the turn. I beat him
on ten. He beats me on eleven. So it was
a press come to twelve. I had a good looking
shot at the pen. But there's a bunker that comes up.
I thought it was in the bunker embedded. So I
go look in the bunker and I can't say what
he exactly said. I hear the flag come out and
he says, here it is you fat.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
You're on your own from there, le Obese. Oh my god,

all the same thing. And I think so once again
Tom Gregory. Well, lastly, should Bob Huggins have his own statue?

Speaker 4 (59:29):
At U?

Speaker 1 (59:30):
See? Absolutely? I was surprised when I thought he was
already in the Hall of Fame. I thought he was
until about a week ago. And if Xavier didn't exist,
he wouldn't be stuck at three hundred ninety nine wins.
Xavier cost him, that didn't I think? Quite often? Once again,

Tony Bender said in Boone County they'll take five or
six hundred refugees from the city until the city gets better.
They need to treat them like to Haitians and TPS
is get them right here, move them around a little bit.
You agree, whatever you say is okay with me. You'll

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Can't say did you ever meet Jeffrey Epstein? Did you
never rip to him? Connection? He used to date some
of you know, he's not going to come back if
you keep doing this. I'm just telling you speaking the truth.
He's trying to get a new pointox. So he's trying
to get no money down. That's Joseph chevrol Aine, Paul Ray.
They're the best. They're the best. Say give me out

(01:02:30):
of Stude's report.

Speaker 7 (01:02:31):

for America.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
You can eat freedom ring on that way. You only
sing be there and take the refugees from Cincinnati.

Speaker 7 (01:02:45):
We leave you with the immortal words of the Stooge Report.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Well, we'll see what happens. Won't we justice Joe dis Go,
he's the one that killed Harambe on news radio seven
hundred w l by Billy hunting him the great American.
Of course, one of the ongoing sagas almost of my

(01:03:13):
career in radio has been Jeffrey Epstein. This thing started
about thirty years ago and Miami continues through today. In fact,
the other day, once again, a guy named Leon Black,
who's a multi billionaire, he's worth about to don't know,
seventeen billion dollars, gave one hundred and fifty eight million
dollars to Epstein and allegedly testified in the Congress that

(01:03:34):
he Epstein duped him out of sixty million dollars. And
Bill Gates testified about a week ago claiming he was
duped and he was blackmailed. Then you got Les Wexner's
another billionaire who claims that he didn't know what was
going on, and there's nothing going on here, and of
course many of us would liked to know what happened,
who was involved. I am certain there were hundreds of

(01:03:56):
young women and girls that were sexually abused, shall I say,
against their wishes and misused. A few have committed suicide
and here we sit getting ready to celebrate the fourth
of July twenty twenty six, two hundred and fifty years
after our founding, and they're still uncertainly in the public's
mind about what happened, who was involved, and secondly, why

(01:04:18):
aren't people being held accountable? And thirdly, how does this
thing ever end? Of course, Sherry Carney has had been
on this topic for many, many years. She's a victim
of sexual abuse herself. She's a lawyer God Bless Attorneys,
a founder of roar as One, Inc. And Sherry Carney,
Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. But first of all,

(01:04:38):
deal first with Bill Gates. What did Bill Gates say
about a week or ten days ago about his relationship
with Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Well, he said that it was a mistake. It was
a grave error in judgment. And as far as I'm concerned,
when we say something's a mistake, it's.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
Usually running a yellow light.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
A great error in judgment is lending your ex brother
in law money. This is so beyond a grave error
in judgment or a mistake that it's you know, unconscionable.
That that is the response of many of these alleged
accused involvees in the Jeffrey Epstein saga.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
Is do you I would assume you know more about
this than most people because I follow it. I don't
know anybody personally that was involved, not even Lex Wexner
is from Columbus, Ohio. I don't know these characters. Do
you believe?

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
Tell me? Overall? For those listening into Buke, Iowa and
those listening in Austin, Texas, why is the Jeffrey Epstein
case still front and center in the media. Why is
it still prevalent?

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
That's a great question. I think the American people are
outraged that the one percent Epstein class seems to be
completely giving a different legal system than the rest of us.
In other words, it's still front and center because people
feel the truth has not come out. There's been no justice,

(01:06:05):
there's been no accountability. There's been no consequences for the
one percent who are involved, whereas the rest of us,
the other ninety nine percent, have to follow the rules
get accountability. You have fifteen hundred to two thousand victims
of sex trafficking, child sexual abuse of Jeffrey Epstein and
his cadre of associates, and yet there's two people have

(01:06:31):
been held to account. Gainling Maxwell's in jail, Jeffrey Epstein
is dead. And so you have fifteen hundred to two
thousand victims. Who are the other people that victimize them?
And where is the accountability?

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
Well, when I see the victims in the media, I
often will like the interview e to ask the question specifically,
who abused you? I want names. If there's fifteen hundred
girls and women, there's got to be hundreds and hundreds
of men. Well, why don't CNN, MS NOW, Fox News
whenever they put somebody on, why don't the actual victims

(01:07:07):
name names?

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
Well, let me say this, It's a great question. Bill
and everybody asked that they have named names. The names
are in the released files. They have told the FBI,
they have told local police, they have told congress people.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
They have named names.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
The real question is where are the indictments, investigations, arrests,
and what needs to happen to hold these predators accountable.
They have named names.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Why not publicly? I'd like to have these girls say
these are the men. Most of these women, the girls
are now in their thirties and forties and fifties. So
they've told the law enforcement these are the people, Well,
why don't they Why don't they come out with the names?
Are Thomas Massey, who well, you know in our area,
just lost to correstional seat. I said, give me the names.

(01:08:04):
I'll go to the Congress. He's still in office. He'll
lay out two hundred men that did it. Why doesn't
that happen?

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
There's a couple of issues involved.

Speaker 5 (01:08:13):
Some of them have publicly.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
Named names, and some of those people who publicly named
names are now dead. Also, some of these women have MDA's.
If they're called to testify in front of Congress, the
NDAs would not be enforceable. They're afraid. You're dealing with
the billionaire class of very wealthy, very powerful, very influential people,

(01:08:36):
and there are very bad consequences to publicly naming names.
They are afraid, But make no mistake, there are plenty
of names that have been released and nothing has been done.
So let me ask you this bill. If you're a
victim and you name a name, and that person testifies
in front of the Oversight committee, and zero is done

(01:08:58):
because the person says a nothing, I saw nothing, I
did nothing. I don't know, I can't understand, I don't
remember I'm innocent, and there is no follow up, no investigations,
no prosecutions.

Speaker 5 (01:09:12):
Would you name the names?

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Well, probably not. Let me ask you this question. You
talked about NDA's non disclosure agreements. Is there a pot
I understand there's a pot of money, hundreds of millions
of dollars paid for by brokerage firms and banks and
law firms and others into a pot of gold for
these women and girls to make claims and to get money.
And is that have the most of the victims have

(01:09:38):
been paid money.

Speaker 3 (01:09:40):
Because they've signed non disclosure agreements. I only know informally,
the same way you know that there's been many settlements
from banks, universities, media companies, the Epstein estate. I have
heard that, but I have don't have evidence of that.

(01:10:03):
In other words, it's my opinion because articles that I've
also read have said that many of these victims have
gotten to settlements civilly, and they have non disclosure agreements
and other agreements, not just NDAs, but other draconian consequences
if they talk. But I have heard many times that

(01:10:26):
there are settlements. And the reason there's settlements and not
criminal prosecutions is because that is the only justice these
victims have been able to obtain. There has been and
here's my question to you, Bill, your former attorney, attorney general, prosecutor.
Why are there no local prosecutions in California, New York

(01:10:49):
and Florida. Many of us have worked to extend statutes
of limitations, both civilly and in some instances criminally. The
criminal statutes can't move back. They moved forward.

Speaker 5 (01:11:01):
But some of the places these.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
Women were sexually assaulted in, these children were sexually abused,
have extended statues of limitations that are in place that
cover the time period they were sexually and criminally abused.
Why no prosecutions at the state.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
Level, Well, there was one in Florida, but Republicans and
Democrats have looked at this thing for thirty some years.
And except for that one prosecution in which Epstein received
it literally a slap on the wrist, he actually went
he was let out of jail to work, so to speak.
And while I was out on jail, so called working,
he was sexually abusing children. And that's the only prosecution

(01:11:42):
other than the two recently. One other issue about six
months ago. Elie Honig, who's a legal analyst for CNN,
was asked a question I think by wolf Blitzer is
why in twenty nineteen, when Epstein was still alive there
was a there was lengthy criminal investigations involving James Comy's

(01:12:04):
daughter who probably was very aggressive and trying to find
the wrongdoers, and Ellie Honey, who was involved in eighteen
and nineteen and investigating Jeffrey Epstein. Ellie Honig said on
CNN that we indicted all the people that we could
indict for these criminal activities. And so I watched that,
I'm gonna, well, what about these hundreds of men. I

(01:12:25):
thought it might have been a statute problem, or it
might have been a victim problem, it might have been
no forensics whatever. I doubt there was forensics. But when
Ellie Honey and Komy's daughter, I forget her first name,
was actively investigating why were only two people indicted this
like seven eight years ago? And he said, well, those
are only two we couldn't date. Do you buy that?

Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
I don't buy it. I'm sorry, I don't buy it.
I think the whole thing on both sides of the
aisle has been a cover up or a lack of
wanting to go after these influential, powerful people. I just think,
you know, campaign contributions and influence, because it doesn't make

(01:13:11):
any sense. And I'm not saying that this is political.

Speaker 5 (01:13:15):
I'm saying the.

Speaker 3 (01:13:16):
Public is outraged for the same reason your outraged and
the same reason I'm outraged. And then we have this situation.
So then we have the release of the Epstein files
with the perpetrators and accused perpetrators' names redacted and the victims'
names unredacted. So every victim has been told on some

(01:13:41):
level or another. They've been followed, they've been stoked, they've
had their computers hacked into, they've been threatened, they've been bullied.
You know, they're afraid, and for good reason. Just what
you said, Bill, you have Elijonig, you have two thousand
and eight. You know two thousand and eight. You brought

(01:14:01):
it up. I want to go back there. A second
Epstein is charged and convicted with a sex offense. Okay,
he gets this cherry club said, gets to sexually assault women,
children and girls during the day. He's off on the weekends,
or he serves on the weekends. And we have alex Acosta,

(01:14:22):
who is then appointed a cabinet member under the Trump administration.
And so the message that you're giving survivors, victims that
are going to testify is that we're not going to
do anything. You're going to be in danger. You're going
to be I mean, we have a lot of suicides
in this case, we have a lot of mysterious deaths.

(01:14:42):
In this case, it's dangerous. And so my question is
they see the hand running on the wall, and the
hand running on the wall could be what's on their tombstone,
and they are afraid. And the best answer here is
civil recovery. But it's no answer at all. So I

(01:15:05):
don't understand why. Again, I understand that the FBI, which
is controlled by the current administration, which doesn't seem to
want any transparency at all, But I don't understand on
the local level, just what you said in New York, California,
and Florida, why more has not been done and neither

(01:15:26):
does the public. I only can tell you that we
all think it's a travesty of justice. It gives a
message to survivors that your voice doesn't count. When you
speak up, you're going to be the victim and the perpetrator.
You know, the perpetrator is going to come out as
a victim, and you're going to come out as the wrongdoer.

(01:15:46):
And so you have Bill Gates, for example, who just
testified in front of the Oversight Committee. He's got a
prepared statement, he has very expensive lawyers to tell him
what to say and what not to say, simply to
say it's a mistake, a great error.

Speaker 5 (01:16:03):
I didn't do anything wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
I didn't witness anything in the Epstein situation. So you
tell me, Bill, how you can be around Epstein from
twenty eleven to twenty fourteen, which.

Speaker 5 (01:16:17):
Is when Gates knew him.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
And you don't see any pictures of new children on
the wall. You don't see sexual devices and sexual accouterments
all over the location. You don't see underage girls, you
don't see children. How do all of these men get
away with saying I didn't see anything, I didn't know anything,
I didn't do anything.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Cherry Carney. One another issue arises that in New York
City right now, Alvin Bragg is the criminal prosecutor and
Latisa James is the Attorney General of New York. Not
exactly conservatives, and they're in charge of criminal justice in
the state of New York. The Democrats, Democratic why.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
Are you're right? And also California. California is not known
to be super super conservative. You know what I'm saying,
why don't we you know.

Speaker 9 (01:17:09):
Answer it exactly the same question, Well, you know what why?

Speaker 5 (01:17:20):
I don't know. To be honest with you, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:24):
I don't know. I know that there's statutes of limitation
problems in many of these cases where the criminal statutes
at the time of the child sexual abuse, sexual molestation, rape,
sexual assault. The statutes are gone in some places, but
some of us have worked very hard to extend both

(01:17:45):
civil and criminal statutes of limitations.

Speaker 5 (01:17:48):
They're not all gone.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
I don't know if they're worried about locy. I'm just
I'm just like now, speculating if they're worried, I'm speculating.
I have no idea other than I do believe that
the first top one percent class of this country, the
Epstein class, millionaires, billionaires, highly connected, have a completely different
justice system than the rest of us. Because think about this,

(01:18:12):
a second bill, a show like to Catch a Predator,
Some of these you know schnooks in the Midwest, or
in California or across the United States. Text an underage
girl state they're going to come over and have sex

Twenty four months or three years.

Speaker 8 (01:18:31):
Chris Hansen. Yeah, it happens all the time. And you're
talking about hundreds of men time.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
Hundreds of men did this and every Democrat, Republican, local, state,
FEDS have all investigated this thing hard for out of
fifteen or twenty since twenty oh eight, eighteen years, and
the most we come up with is Julane Maxwell. And
that's the only living defendant. And I'm thinking she's going
to offer a deal, I guess, to get out of

(01:18:56):
jail if she discloses more names. But how the victims
who are know who the names are, and the FEDS
and local prosecutors have the names and they don't proceed.

Speaker 5 (01:19:07):
I then they have had the names.

Speaker 3 (01:19:09):
The FBI has had the names of the Farmer sisters
they went in in nineteen ninety I think eight or
nineteen ninety seven, and Dave's names have the tape submitted it.

Prince Andrew, he happened to have name, you know, his
name was named but anyone else that was named during
that Prince Andrew situation. Believe it still has not been
held to account. And I think this involves and I'm
not a conspiracy theorist, but i can tell you that
some of the survivors who I've spoken to or who
I knew that are no longer alive, mentioned this was worldwide.

(01:19:55):
They were leaders that were princes and kings and prime
ministers and governors and presidents right and around the globe.

pressure as well.
