Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today billy cunningham the great america welcome this monday afternoon
the tri-state getting ready for reds baseball again the reds are.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
On a streak more or less like in april in
which they seemingly can't lose to the cubs for example
last night was wonderful and to have Jeff Brantley and
Joey Votto do the national broadcast. I wonder if we
appreciate the greatness of the commentators on 700 WLW. It's unbelievable.
But nonetheless, kickoff tonight, I think the Padres are in

(00:34):
town with my favorite pronounced ballplayer of all time is
Fernando Tatis. Fernando Tatis is in town. And joining you
and I now is Rob Sanders on the south side
of the river, Kenton County Prosecutor. And Rob Sanders, welcome
again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all,
are you getting ready for the 50th commemoration of the
fireworks display on the Ohio River sponsored by Western and Southern,

(00:56):
the WEBN fireworks? Where were you 50 years ago when
this began?

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Willie, good question. You'd have to ask my parents.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
I'm sure that I probably was not down at the
fireworks then. But hey, we've got to make this interview
quick today because I'm still expecting a call from the
Bengals saying they want to sign.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Me to the practice squad today. It's a big day
in Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
But yes, I am getting ready for the fireworks. I
was still excited to hear Joey Votto last night. I
think that was one of the best-called Reds games in
a long time. Not to scare anybody at the big
one or maybe over at Channel 5, but I think
he's definitely got a career there if he ever wants it.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Bring Joey back to Cincinnati. He's a pretty entertaining dude.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
And Jeff Brantley did the national broadcast, and he was
on ESPN for a few years, came to Cincinnati, and
the commentators about Jeff Brantley are saying, where's this guy
been the past 20 years? Hell, he's been in Cincinnati.
That's where he's been, and nobody knows he's here.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
They're doing it the whole time just on the radio.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, it's like Mark Twain said, when the world ends,
I want to be in Cincinnati. They won't find out
for 10 years. So I'm thinking, you know, we're here now,
but a couple issues are rising. One is the predator
hunters problem. which are like vigilantes of sorts, individuals who
seek out perverts, generally men, of course, who are trying
to have sex with children. And they came to Covington

(02:16):
about a week ago. Tell me what are predators, Hunter?

Speaker 5 (02:19):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Willie, we've got to go easy on the word vigilante there.
That kind of draws a bad connotation to it that
the predator hunters aren't very fond of. But I've heard
of groups like this before, but not specifically this group before.
But they are an outfit that runs a YouTube channel
that I guess you just find on YouTube if you
look up predator hunters. But there's a fellow named Alex

(02:42):
Rosen who runs this outfit. And they get information from
people all across the country about pedophiles and child predators
soliciting children online. And that's what happened last week on
August 27th. A lady in West Virginia found that there
was a guy in Cincinnati named Alexander Lopez Portillo who
was text messaging her daughter on an Internet social media

(03:05):
application and called up the predator hunters. Well, they got
their investigators on this case.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
And Mr.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Lopez-Pertillo started text messaging one of their decoys. In other words,
an adult acting as a child online and claiming to
be a child online.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
And this fellow apparently was just up and going.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Above Cincinnati somewhere and agreed to meet what he thought
was a 13-year-old girl in Covington for the purpose of
illegal sex acts. And when he got there, lo and behold,
he didn't find a 13-year-old girl. He found Alex Rosen,
and T.J. Roberts is one of our state representatives, certainly
not who I would expect to find.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Out in Covington, out and about in the middle.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Alex Rosen is probably, I guess, about.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
6'3 and 300 pounds. He's a big dude.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
He's certainly not a 13-year-old girl. But they met this
fellow and got it all on videotape. And they turned
it over to the Covington police who obtained a warrant.
But the suspect's arrest, and that fellow, hopefully, if he's
not in jail already, will be in jail really soon
because he managed to travel quite a distance from, I believe,

(04:13):
the Monroe area of Ohio down to Covington to meet
this child for sex acts. We certainly can't have that
going on. We prefer it when the police are the
ones conducting these investigations, but we're certainly not going to
leave a pedophile loose out on the streets. when somebody
who's not a police officer brings us the evidence, we
need to put them in prison. So that's something new
in my career, Willie. I've never had predator poachers come

(04:35):
to town before or any other group conducting these kind
of investigations, but we've got them here now, and we're
working closely with them to make sure that we follow
through and don't have this happening, certainly not in Kenton
County anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Did you say this was a state representative?

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, T.J.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Roberts is one of our local state representatives, good guys
from Mountain Boone County, does all sorts of different kinds
of law, and he has apparently done some work with
these predator hunters before. So when they were coming to town,
they got in touch with T.J., and he met up with.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Them in the middle of the night. I guess T.J.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Is one of the few elected officials who works 24
hours a day because he was right there with them
when they had this fellow staked out on Main Street
in Covington.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
So I want to make this clear.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
T.J.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Roberts is not the pervert. He's helping the predators.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
No, no.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
He is the state representative, and he is working with
the predator hunters as a local assistant, I guess, to
show them around, give them directions. You know, with all
this bridge construction, Willie, it's kind of tougher than it
used to be to get it from Ohio to Kentucky,
which is good when we're trying to keep the criminals out.
But it can be tough when you're working with the predators.
an outfit from outside the area who's trying to figure

(05:50):
out where to pick up this suspect that was messaging
what he thought was little girls.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Secondly, I saw this guilty verdict you had. Of course,
domestic violence is a terrible thing, and you attained a
guilty verdict for a Commonwealth versus Gary Beam.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
B-E-A-M.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Beam me up, Scotty. Gary Beam. Explain what this guy did.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, Gary Bean's quite the character. This is a case
that was handled by two of my assistants, Willie Ryan
Oliver and Jordan Sherrod, who did a fantastic job. They
told the jury all about back on December 20th of
2023 when UC Medical Center staff called Covington Police and said,
you guys are going to want to come over here
and see this. We've got this lady who came into
our emergency room, and she's unconscious. She's in really bad shape,

(06:36):
got a lot of really bad injuries, broken bones.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
All up and down her body.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
And her, I guess, significant other, I don't think they're
actually married, a fellow by the name of Gary Beam
is telling us, well, she just fell out of my pickup.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Truck and hit her head.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Well, she had a lot more injuries than just being
a bump on the head. And Covington police did some investigation,
found out that whatever happened to this lady happened in
the parking lot of the Taco Bell right down.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
In the 4th Street area right near the interstate.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
They got the videotape from the Taco Bell security and
found out Gary Beeman hit her with his pickup truck
and then backed over her after she had been knocked
to the ground by the first time he hit her
with the pickup truck. Then he drove forward and drove
over top of her again. then spent a good six
minutes staging the scene and cleaning up his mess and
pulling his truck back into a parking spot to make

(07:24):
it look like nothing was amiss there. And when he
called 911 and told them his wife needs an ambulance,
and when the ambulance showed up, he gave them this
nonsensical story about falling out of the truck. When they
got her into the hospital, the hospital staff was like, no,
this doesn't make sense. So when we got all the

(07:45):
evidence together, Jordan and Ryan took it to trial. They
got a conviction of Mr.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Beam.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
The jury heard about his criminal history. He was a
persistent felony offender eligible, which means he had at least
two prior felony offenses and really just did a number
on this lady. The really sad part of this story
is she was a cancer patient. and was dying of cancer,
ended up dying of cancer before this case actually went
to the jury.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
So the victim didn't get to testify.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
They had to call her daughter in to tell the
jury about everything that happened in the last months of
this lady's life. But you can imagine how much more
miserable anything can be than dying of cancer. It's having
to try and recover from all these broken bones being
run over by a truck three times while you're dying
of cancer. And sadly, she spent her last Christmas on
earth in the ICU over at UC Medical Center because

(08:36):
of Gary Beam. So he's doing the next 23 years
in prison right where he belongs. And to make it
all the more sweeter for this office, Mr. Beam had
managed to sue myself and the rest of the Commonwealth
Attorney's Office staff, I think two or three times. He's
really keeping our Attorney General's Office busy defending us in
all these frivolous civil suits. But now we got his

(08:57):
criminal case out of the way. He's off to prison
for the next 23 years. I expect all those civil
suits he filed will go away in short order.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Why was he suing the prosecutor? Gary Beam, a persistent felon,
is suing you.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Nonsense related along the lines i don't know that he
was necessarily claiming to be a sovereign citizen but if
anybody's ever heard of sovereign citizens and all the shenanigans
they pull whenever they get in our criminal justice system
it was along those lines claiming that we didn't have
you know we weren't licensed we weren't sworn we didn't
do this we didn't do that we're violating everything it's

(09:31):
just nonsense i guess when you're sitting over in the
kenton county detention center awaiting trial you got nothing better
to do than hand write a bunch of frivolous lawsuits
and file them in the Kenton Circuit Court. But fortunately,
we've got good friends with Attorney General Russell Coleman, his
office that defend us in those cases, and they do
a very good job. So I think at least one

(09:52):
of the cases has already been dismissed, and the other
ones will probably be dismissed in short order. But the
biggest question for me is where in the world did
Gary Beam get enough money? to file these lawsuits but
nevertheless maybe we'll investigate his uh his account out at
the detention center and see where all this money came from.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Well he received like 23 years in state prison in
kentucky is 23 years 23 years or is that like
10 or 11.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
No, it's 85% of 23 years, so that should put
him just shy of 20 years before he's even parole eligible.
So you can look at his picture there, Willie. He's
not exactly a pillar of health. I'll be surprised if
we see much more of Gary Beam on the outside
of the prison walls.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
He may be like Papillon, throwing a bunch of coconuts
in a cove, maybe trying to get off the island.
Other than that, he's going to die in prison staring
at the walls. So that's quite sad. But one thing
that fascinates me, is that I spent time in Boone
County recently with the good sheriff there. And, of course,
Tony Bender controls Boone County Fire Department with an iron grip.

(10:53):
And I'm looking at the massive growth of population in
Boone County, which about 20 years ago they had dirt
roads and outhouses, and now it's like a functional county.
And I imagine that especially the southern part of Kenton
County is the same way. And take Covington. My wife
and I love to travel around. And just check things out.

(11:13):
It is amazing to me how, uh, in the last
30 years, you might recall the city of Cincinnati in 1970.
had more than a half a million people. We're down 40%.
And all the counties around Hamilton County have grown in population,
and they're growing in places like Boone County and Kenton
County and Mason, Ohio, and also going into Indiana, which

(11:34):
is true of almost every major American city. That is,
the core is like a hole of a donut, and
then the rim are doing great work. But I don't
see that like in Covington or Newport. Newport's going to
get a new prosecutor, I guess Campbell County prosecutor. But
in your life and times, have you seen the breaking
out from the city of Cincinnati and Hamilton County to

(11:56):
south of the river because of the quality of life?
Boone County, I think, was unbelievable when I met the sheriff.
He's been out there for a long time. It's amazing,
the growth. Can you comment on that?

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Well, Willie, we're all over the place here. Yes, absolutely.
We're seeing growth over here.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
And the one place that you notice it the most
is really in our voter registration, because Kenton, Boone, Campbell
counties were all, and still are, all Republican-dominated counties in
terms of voter registration. But the Democratic side has actually
caught up pretty quick. And a lot of that's because
of the migration of folks from Ohio, mostly the city

(12:33):
of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, over to northern Kentucky, where
it's a different way of life. You know, we still
enforce the law. We still send criminals to prison. We
want this to be the best place to live, work,
and raise a family. And I think you see that
in the quality of life that we provide and that
our law enforcement provides and that the community that supports
our law enforcement and backs the blue that they provide.

(12:56):
It's a safer way of life. We don't have knock
on wood, Willie. You know, I don't like to jinx myself,
but we don't have all the shootings and killings on
a nightly basis like they do on the north side
of the river. But yeah, without a doubt, that's what's
driving our population growth. You know, they have it in
Boone County. We have it in Kenton County, especially southern
Kenton County. Independence is building houses and selling houses as

(13:17):
fast as they can get them built out there. You know,
even Covington's enjoying population growth after decades of population decline.
You know, housing prices are going up. I guess that's
a good thing or a bad thing, depending on whether
you're trying to buy a house or sell a house.
But Covington's more popular than ever in terms of places
to live. There's, you know, those big fancy condos down

(13:38):
along the river that I've been trying to sell you
and the.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
People's judge for the last few years.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
There's the big houses up on top of the hill
near Dubuque Park overlooking downtown. And there's all sorts of
rural or suburban living out in the south end of
our county as well. Willie, everybody likes it over here
and I can't blame them.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well, I'm looking at this story, which is, again, sick
and it's sad, about a four-year-old girl who, by the way,
at four o'clock in the morning, no arrests have been
made in the shooting of a four-year-old girl early Sunday
morning in South Cummingsville, that city of Cincinnati. She's in
surgery as we speak. Her grandmother took her to UC
Medical Center at four o'clock in the morning for some reason.

(14:16):
She's outside on the porch playing at 4 a.m. on
Sunday morning, Saturday night. At least six gunshots were fired.
I assume she was in the crossfire. And where's the mom?
Where's the dad? How many four-year-olds are at 4 o'clock
in the morning, a four-year-old girl playing outside at 4
o'clock in the morning? And I'm reading the story, and

(14:38):
I'm thinking, this is so common, it's almost not worthy
of comment. Because it happens all the time where children
are shot or killed from one of the 20,000 bullets
that fly around Cincinnati every year. And to me, it's
just sick about a culture that's in collapse and the
incapability of the system to respond to lousy mothers and

(14:59):
fathers who give their kids to grannies to raise at
4 o'clock in the morning sitting on a porch. I
have about a minute remaining. Rob Sanders, give me your
comments on that one.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well, Willie, it's certainly a sad case all the way around.
I had not heard about that, but never, ever, ever
blame the victim. It doesn't matter what time of day
or night it should be, and I agree with you.
I don't know what a 4-year-old is doing out and
about at 4 a.m., but if there weren't a bunch
of thugs in the hoodlums shooting up the neighborhood, it
wouldn't really matter. You know, the kids over here in
Kenton County, they can play out in their front yard
at 4 a.m., and they're not going to get shot.

(15:31):
Like I said, it's a quality of life that's enjoyed
over here that sadly 4-year-olds– I can't enjoy in every
neighborhood all across our country. There's just some places that
aren't as safe as it is over here. And that's
sad because even though we've got lots of questions about
why little kids would be out and about, they could
be shot at that.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Time of night.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
The bottom line is they shouldn't be shot at any
time of day or night.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
So, no, it's sad.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Hopefully they'll make an arrest. I know Cincinnati police still
has lots of good people working over there trying to
do their job. Hopefully they'll make a quick arrest in
this case. But that's exactly why I don't read– well,
I should say I only read the Kentucky section of
the newspaper and don't really watch much TV, Willie, because
I can't take any more of the negative– press, the coverage,

(16:18):
you know, all the stories. I deal with enough sad
news on this side of the river to get my fill.
It's really difficult to watch what's going on in the
bigger cities in America, not just Cincinnati, but Louisville, Lexington,
you know, Cleveland, all across the country where the major
metropolitan areas have just been overrun by crime.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Well, Channel 5 is reporting there were several bullet holes
in homes around the scene. And neighbors said she was
just a sweet little girl. She would play in the
street all hours of the day and night. She had
a habit of going up to strangers and saying hi.
I'm thinking, what can go wrong with that? Bullet holes
everywhere at Cincinnati. Once again, Rob Sanders, perhaps I'll see
you at the fireworks this Sunday night. And if not,

(16:58):
I look forward to our dinner there at the Hitching Post.
I was there a week or two ago, and it
was fabulous. But Rob Sanders, thanks for coming on the
Bill Cunningham Show. You're a great American.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Thanks, Willie.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
I look forward to sitting in the Bill Cunningham luxury
box at the fireworks and enjoying the big show.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
But if I don't see you there, if you get busy.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
And I don't see you there, I know that you
and I are both in Tommy Pham's fantasy football league,
and we've got that draft coming up. Hopefully nobody gets
slapped or anything. The draft day is almost here.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
We'll get on it.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
All right, Rob Sanders, thank you. You're a great American.
Thank you, Rob.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Thanks, Willie.

Speaker 7 (17:32):
Take care.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Let's continue. Four-year-old girl, bullet holes everywhere. It's unbelievable, but
let's face it. It's a common event because of the
collapse of urban culture. Bill Cunningham, NewsRadio 700, WLTV. And
you know, later this week is going to be effectively
100 degrees, temperature about 95. Great time to get a

(17:53):
little Tempstar quality you can feel. Andy Buecher and all
the other great Americans with Tempstar. It's a wonderful situation,
including the Braun Company. Unbelievable. They helped me recently get
my AC back at work. And so forewarned is forearmed.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Get ready.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Secondly, coming up after one o'clock today, we'll be an
expert on data centers. So many areas of the tri-state
want to oppose them. I'm looking on my left. 75%
of the American people are opposed to data centers. Most
don't know what they are. They just know they're opposed
to them because the media only gives one side of
the story. My guess after one o'clock, we'll give the

(18:31):
flip side of the story. Much like when the railroads came,
guess what? People opposed the railroads.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
When.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
The Model A came down the road and horses were
perceived to be out of business. That was a great
concern when the telegraph came in. Oh, my gosh, what
are we going to do? There was a fear with
Thomas Alva Edison that somehow electricity would set your house
on fire. Many Americans did not want to have electricity
in their home because they feared they'd be killed in
their sleep. And so fear of the unknown is terribly,

(19:01):
terribly important. And my guest after 1 o'clock will explain
how the data centers up to this point have largely
been their own worst enemy.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
And now going into the.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Future, it's got to change. And when it does change,
as I'm sure it will, it will be a benefit.
Because the Democratic Party has been against energy production for
the last 20 or 30 years. Democrats love windmills and
solar panels. Well, those are intermittent sources of energy, which
don't work. And the Democratic Party, largely, especially in blue cities,

(19:33):
blue states, has made it almost impossible to upgrade the grid.
The best kind of energy production is oil, natural gas,
and coal. And the industry is not favored by the
Democratic Party. So if you're in Illinois or New York
or California, you pay significantly more bills than we pay

(19:53):
here in ohio kentucky or indiana now with the data
centers calls that to alleviate or will increase the cost
of energy production i read the article at foxnews.com of
my guest after one o'clock today He said it's going
to grossly benefit the consumer by taking down the cost
of your energy bill when they're self-sufficient and selling back

(20:13):
into the grid excessive energy produced by modular nukes or
by gas turbines. And they must be miles away from
residential areas so that you don't hear the hum. You
can't have that. It's got to be environmentally friendly, which
they are. And secondly, they produce thousands of jobs. This
one guest I have coming up will tell you that

(20:35):
With a high school education, there are many employers paying
$ 140, 000 a year when properly trained for about one year
in order to work on data centers. Ohio right now
has a couple hundred. We need two or three hundred more.
But politically, the Democrats want to rely upon your stupidity

(20:56):
and ignorance in opposing data centers because they benefit politically,
plus as part of their green energy to send us
back into the Middle Ages. And at some point, I
think we have to rely upon the American people collectively
to make good judgments based upon informed facts. And until
the facts are out there and told, American people may

(21:17):
regurgitate what they hear. And so at this point, let's
face it, the news media is not in the business
of giving objective information upon which you can cast an
informed ballot. It's a microscope or it's a loudspeaker for
the most liberal Democratic Party in American history. And so
done properly, underline the word properly three times, data centers

(21:40):
are good for the economy. They're good for the environment.
They're good for communities. They must be miles away from
any residential areas. They must produce their own energy completely
and sell into the grid the extra energy they produce.
And thirdly, they have to lower the property taxes throughout
the communities in which they operate. If those things happen,

(22:03):
why would you oppose the data center? Unless you're stupid.
And many people are stupid. And if you're stupid, I
get it. But nonetheless, listen after 1 o'clock today to
get the other side of the story. And secondly, Brian
Combs had this story. I'm looking straight at it. I've
got three big monitors in front of me. Something in
the range of two-thirds of the children in Washington, D.C.

(22:25):
public schools are chronically absent. In Cincinnati, it's only 45%. Now,
if you're a black boy, it's 71% chronically absent. And
so we got a problem, Houston. We got a terrible problem.
So Detroit public schools will pay students with gift cards
who have perfect attendance. In Chicago public schools, the teachers

(22:48):
unions don't want that. They want more time off. And
in Cincinnati, we got a problem, a serious problem. Schools
have been in about two weeks now. And I imagine
it's a catastrophe, as it's always been. And the complaints
will be along the lines of, well, not enough money
is being spent. About $ 22, 000 per kid per year in

(23:10):
CPS is spent on public education. In Washington, D.C., it's $ 31, 000.
New York City is $ 40, 000 per kid. And those who
come out of public education in all three areas, on balance,
cannot read and write. In other words, they're functionally illiterate.
That's a problem. Some people want it to be fixed.

(23:32):
Some don't want it to be fixed because then you
have generations of poverty that are loyal Democratic voters. But
a story written yesterday by Grace Tucker of the Inquirer,
Grace Tucker, headline, kicked, concussed, bruised, teacher assaults are up
in Ohio and Kentucky. Getting into the story, it relates

(23:52):
once again, a fine teacher, 63 years old, that her
name is Sherry Wooldridge. She taught at Coleraine High School,
the home of the Cardinals. And she had been a
teacher for like 30 years. She was going to retire
at the end of that school year, which is what,
about two and a half years ago. And she's pieced

(24:18):
together other bits of information. She was told by her
daughter what happened to her. She's teaching at Coleraine High School.
You know, the home of Carrie Combs. A student punched
the teacher, Wooldridge, over a dozen times in the head,
she learned, leaving her with a severe brain bleed. If
the bleeding had reached her brain stem, she'd be a

(24:39):
vegetable the rest of her life. The student, a 15-year-old
boy that, by the way, juvenile court judge Carrie Bloom
put on probation, fled through a side classroom door, prompting
only an echo in Wooldridge's memory about what happened. Once
she gained consciousness, she found herself hooked up to hospital

(25:01):
tubes two days later at UC Medical Center. She spent
three weeks in the hospital before starting rehabilitation. She had
to relearn at the age of 63 how to walk
and how to talk, how to pick up a fork,
how to pick up a spoon. Surgeons removed part of
her skull to relieve the pressure and stapled it back together.

(25:22):
Wooldridge learned months after the prosecutor's remarks in Hamilton County
Juvenile Court. The student, 15-year-old boy, who intended to murder
the teacher in the classroom, right? A large student beating
a 63-year-old woman, sentenced to six months in juvenile prison
after playing guilty to felonious assault. The prosecutor's office would not,

(25:47):
in fact, Judge Kerry Bloom would not send him to
adult court when he tried to kill a teacher. Of course,
Wooldridge is never going back into the classroom. She says
she has no desire to ever return to teaching. And
the boy is now, he was finishing, I'm not sure
if he finished high school, what difference does it make?

(26:07):
And according to the teacher's union, quote, when a teacher
is assaulted, who should be held accountable? Number one, it's
the student doing the assault, right? But the teacher's union
in Cincinnati, seemingly a fine woman named Karen Imbus, I-M-B-U-S,
Karen Imbus, told school board members, there needs to be
more of a sense of urgency on your behalf. The

(26:30):
most serious issue this year is teacher assaults. She said, quote,
teachers are kicked, concussed, bruised about their face and head
on a daily basis. She said the union gets calls
every day, this is the only Cincinnati, from teachers being injured.
And of course.

(26:51):
The teachers union and the teachers in the school board
do not want this report to get out that this
is a regular event in the public schools. Aggravating the
problem is the ongoing funding crisis in public school districts.
Are you kidding me? The school board says we need
more money because we have to cut social workers, counselors,

(27:12):
and other holistic services critical when students are violent. The
teachers union also says there's a sense, do not report
violence against teachers or staff. Don't do that because it
makes the school district look bad. This is in the
story written by Grace Tucker of the Inquirer. And the

(27:34):
school has something called the assault teacher tracker that his
teacher union said maintained for the past three years. So
regardless of what is being said, There's an underreporting culture
where principals, administrators, and school boards discourage teachers from reporting

(27:54):
assaults so as not to make the district look bad.
So you're not supposed to report. Imagine when you or
I were in high school. Imagine you beating up a teacher.
Then the principal says, let's not report that. Let's call
the police, get you to the hospital. Let's move on. Also,

(28:15):
some say the latest wave of anxiety among student behavior
is caused by COVID-19. Every excuse against these children that
are committing beating up teachers in class. Then this comes
on the heels of what? Hundreds of individuals being wounded

(28:35):
in the city of Cincinnati because of violence committed against
them by the criminal element. Comes on top of, you
heard Brian Combs talk about it, UC is a terrible
crime problem. Now there's a social media gathering of parents
of students going to UC who spend, in some circumstances,

(28:57):
$ 35, 000 a year to have almost seemingly every day notice
put out, gunshots fired, shelter in place at the University
of Cincinnati campus. So you spend four or five years there,
you spend $ 150, 000 and you're ducking bullets. This comes after, again,
I mentioned this with Rob Sanders, a four-year-old girl is

(29:20):
playing outside at four o'clock in the morning in South Cumminsville,
which is a tough part of the city of Cincinnati.
And she is shot at the age of four and
taken to the hospital by her grandmother to UC Medical.
I assume she's going to survive. This comes on top
of the 16-year-old who murdered the 14-year-old. Rakeem Blair was

(29:46):
shot in the face, lingered for about a week, and
died at the hands of Gisele Ramsey, a 16-year-old boy
who had warrants out for his arrest. We have a completely,
utterly dysfunctional juvenile court system with Administrative Judge Carrie Bloom
incapable of doing her job properly. Because as Joe Dietrich

(30:08):
has often said, you're talking about four to five percent
of the population in the city of Cincinnati living in
a corrupt, broken down culture in which violence is an
acceptable alternative to resolving disputes or simply acting out because
there's no consequences. I could not have imagined a Deer

(30:30):
Park High School. If some student beat up a female teacher.
What would happen to them? At Deer Park. Well, fortunately,
the kid would have been expelled and sent down to
juvenile court where a Benjamin or Judge Schwartz or Judge
Grossman would have sent them up the river for a
long period of time. But in today's revolving justice system

(30:52):
in Hamilton County, you can almost kill a teacher in
a classroom and you might get six months in so-called
juvenile jail released early with an ankle monitor and go
out and sin no more when you try to kill
a teacher in class. And the head of the teachers
union ought to get a bit more serious and say
we can't have this. If it is true, according to

(31:16):
Karen Imbus, that these events are happening daily in Cincinnati
public schools. Why don't they take action? Why don't they
say we're walking out? We're not living in this environment anymore.
We can't live like this. This is a small percentage
and a small number, of course, generally black kids doing

(31:37):
these things without adequate consequences.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
Can't have it.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
What's a four-year-old girl doing out playing at four o'clock
in the morning on Sunday morning? shot by, I guess,
a drive-by with bullet holes all over the houses around it.
I talked to Rob Sanders 45 minutes ago. This is
not normal. This doesn't happen everywhere. And it's not the

(32:04):
fault of some inanimate metal object called a gun. Guns
do not commit violent acts. People do. Cars do not
drive themselves on a drunk driving. You know, no one
would blame the car if the car drunk driver hit
somebody and call it car violence. I don't think so.
So to have left-wing members of council talk about, well,

(32:26):
we've got to crack down on guns. No, you've got
to crack down on that small percentage and small number
overall of individuals who belong separated from society because society
can't live like this. Imagine in your job that every
day someone comes in and beats the crap out of you.
Would you anticipate Something happening to the perpetrator? Would you

(32:49):
anticipate that we'd have a court system that was functional
and locked up perpetrators for long periods of time?

Speaker 5 (32:56):
I would hope so.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
That doesn't happen anymore in the city of Cincinnati and
Hamilton County. It does happen in other communities. Because if
you commit these acts in somewhere like in Warren County,
David Fornshell, the county prosecutor, is not going to give
that student who almost kills a teacher in class a
and permanently disables the teacher at Texas El Paso and say,

(33:17):
don't worry about it. Not going to happen in Butler
County with Mike Mosier or in Claremont County or in
Warren County or in Greene County.

Speaker 5 (33:25):
But it happens in Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
So instead of separating the 5% causing 90% of the problems,
they cater to and support the 5% and voters put
up with it. Judge Carrie Bloom, who's a lousy judge,
is up for reelection this November. I know and you
know she's going to get reelected by 60% of the
vote because she's a Democrat. Therefore, you can't hold her

(33:51):
responsible for standards of behavior. It fires me up. Headline, kicked, concussed, bruised.
Teacher assaults are up in Ohio and Kentucky. And it's
a tip of the iceberg, according to this story. by
Grace Tucker of the Inquirer, the story says that teachers
are encouraged not to report to the office how they

(34:12):
got beaten up and principals don't want to turn it
into the school board because it makes the school district
look bad.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Really?

Speaker 2 (34:19):
How about holding wrongful parties accountable for their misbehavior?

Speaker 5 (34:23):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (34:24):
If this happened in Madeira with Kenji, something would happen bad.
Happens in Cincinnati, we find excuses to justify the behavior
because of The upbringing of the child. At some point,
you've got to be held accountable. Adult crime, adult time.
That doesn't happen in Hamilton County. Now, let's continue. Let's

(34:45):
get more about these data centers. The Communist Chinese Party
and the Democratic Party don't want them built. That tells
you they should be. 1256, home of your Reds, playing
tonight on NewsRadio 700, WLW. All right, Billy Cunningham, the

(35:06):
great American, of course, data centers, AI-generated data centers are
at the heart and soul of economic development in America
over the next several years. Because it is so good,
Communist Red China, other organizations want to eliminate data centers.
And I think misinformed Americans, having not been given all
the facts by about 70%, say we don't want data
centers when most Americans can't spell artificial intelligence to begin with.

(35:30):
And so part of the role of talk radio, I hope,
is to educate consumers and voters about and citizens about
the benefits of data centers, much like when Tony Bender,
my producer, was young. He was concerned about the horses
going away and cars coming down the road. And I
was saying to Tony Bender, don't worry about that. These
cars are going to be the future. Or like the
telegraph comes through, the railroad comes through. What are we

(35:52):
going to do? Oh, my gosh, data centers. And I
think one of the individuals on top of these issues
is Will Hild. He's executive director of the Consumers Research Group,
and he has a great– column at foxnews.com about how
the public has been maybe misinformed about what our data
centers and maybe the industry itself has not done a

(36:14):
good enough job. I would note that Governor Abbott in
the state of Texas has put a moratorium on data
centers for a reason or two, worried about his election
in November. But Will Hild, H-I-L-D, Will Hild, welcome to
the Bill Cunningham Show. And tell the American people, Will,
the essence of your column on foxnews.com.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Absolutely.

Speaker 9 (36:34):
Well, the point of it was a little bit of
a nuanced position. It's pro-data center, but it's also criticizing
big tech and the people building them for really being
at fault for a large portion of the backlash and
people's misunderstanding of data centers and the effects that they
would have on their community. They've done an absolute horrible job, one,

(36:54):
educating the public properly on the truth about water usage,
energy usage. They've also done a really bad job being
humble and engaging with people earnestly in the communities. These
are people's homes and their counties and their neighborhoods where
they live. They have a right to ask questions, even
based on faulty understandings of the technology or the effect
that the data centers would have. They need to be

(37:15):
addressed earnestly and with humility on a level playing field.
And instead, what they've seen is the slots rolling.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Explain, first of all, I wrote down some of your
comments from the article. Less than 30% of Americans support
a data center built in their community. Number one, these
data centers should not be within an earshot of residential areas.
So let's break down the problems. Number one, many Americans,
especially in rural America, like in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee,

(37:47):
and Texas, don't want to hear the hum of data centers. Explain,
first of all, consumers don't want data centers around their houses.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 9 (37:58):
And so one of the issues is that these data
centers include hundreds, if not thousands, of server racks where
you've got tons and tons of GPUs pumping out calculations
and that kind of thing. That can sometimes generate noise.
Sometimes it's the generators powering the data centers.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
People misunderstand. I think it's what's going on inside. It's
what's going on outside.

Speaker 9 (38:17):
That said, that's a solvable logistical problem. And if you
want all the benefits of a data center in your area,
meaning lower taxes, lower energy bills, that kind of thing,
there are ways around dealing with these noise issues. And
you just make that part of the permitting process. It's
not a reason not to have a data center. But again,
big tech has not done a great job explaining those options.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
As far as the data centers and their popularity, and
you just brought up a great point, there's a perception.
among American consumers that data centers will raise the price
of your energy bill. My energy provider is Duke Energy,
and my bills are $ 700 to $ 800 a month. And
probably it's because of the general cost of just a

(39:02):
life going up 25% after 21% with Joe Biden and 4%
with Donald Trump. And so the industry has the problem
telling Americans that the rise of the cost of your
energy bill is not attributable to data centers, or are they?

Speaker 6 (39:20):
No, it's not.

Speaker 9 (39:21):
And in fact, here's the real irony of this. The
rise in the cost of energy is attributable to the
ESG movement that typified the left's economic plans for like
the last 10 years, but especially during the Biden administration.
And that caused an underinvestment in grid reliability, in electrical production.

(39:43):
And that is the reason for the increased energy costs.
So the same people that caused these increased energy costs
are now turning around and trying to blame the data centers.
Because they don't want the net zero agenda, the ESG agenda,
the far left agenda. They don't want to take the
blame for the effects they've had on people's power bills.

Speaker 7 (40:00):
The truth is that in the vast majority.

Speaker 9 (40:02):
Of situations, Data centers lower energy costs because they provide
consistent demand across the 24-hour period, across the 30-day period.
And grids hate variability. What makes it the cheapest way
to produce a kilowatt hour is when the grid wants
that same kilowatt hour across the entire life cycle. And

(40:22):
that's why intermittent power like wind and solar... is so
bad for a grid because it comes on, it gets sunny,
it comes off when it gets cloudy, sometimes wind blowing,
sometimes wind not. When you have a data center providing
demand to a utility, it allows them to smooth out
those demand and supply curves. And in Indiana and Michigan...

(40:44):
The utility there that serves those communities is now lowering
people's bills by about $ 100 a month because data centers
have added demand to the grid there. So these are
not what's raising the cost of energy for folks. What's
done that was the far-left anti-growth ESG agenda of the
last seven to 10 years.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
So until Trump took office again about, what, 20 months ago.
So going back in time, 12 of the 16 years,
the Democrats, liberal Democrats, Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden
were in charge of the quote, the green movement, the
ESG movement, et cetera, that had windmills and solar panels

(41:26):
at the heart of American energy production, not natural gas,
not oil, not coal. There was these alternative methods. And
because the green movement did not allow for a lot
of energy and cost production of energy, that means it
became more difficult to produce energy because the green movement
is responsible for higher energy bills. So it's rather circuitous

(41:49):
in their logic to say, number one, the green movement
and the ESG movement, et cetera, they're responsible for the
high energy costs that all of us are paying. Here
we are after 12 of the last, uh, 16 years
of democratic rule they're blaming the other party who oppose
their policies to increase energy costs when they're the responsible
party can you put a finer point on that for me.

Speaker 9 (42:12):
Yeah, that's exactly right. And I'll even go a step farther,
which is the irony here, is that part of what
the ESG movement did– and it wasn't just elected officials.
I want to note that asset managers, woke asset managers
like BlackRock and State Street and Vanguard pushed this. Even
during the Trump administration, they pushed this using the shares
of these companies to– have them invest more in wind

(42:33):
and solar and to push this net zero agenda. And
so there were more than a decade of underinvestment in
new energy production, reliable energy production on the grid, and
underinvestment in grid stability, meaning not just the production of
the power plants, but the lines, all the transmission mechanisms
that get the electricity to your house. There's been underinvestment

(42:54):
in that in the last 10 to 15 years, thanks
to both woke left politicians and woke asset managers like BlackRock.
And now, ironically, the one thing that would supercharge investments
in the grid from these data center things are the
things that the left is now pushing against.

Speaker 7 (43:11):
They don't want.

Speaker 9 (43:12):
All of the new power plant production, not just coal
and natural gas, but a nuclear renaissance is happening as
well because of the demand for energy for these data centers.
That would actually make up a huge time lost During
the ESG movement, in other words, the rapid investment in
energy production would help make up for the years we wasted.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
With the ESG movement.

Speaker 9 (43:36):
But again, the radical left is pushing against that and
trying to prevent that and misinforming, I think, people.

Speaker 7 (43:43):
About data centers.

Speaker 9 (43:44):
I didn't say that people don't have real concerns. They
should be listened to. But I think they're based on
faulty understanding. I'll note one more because you wanted me
to cover the water as well. There's a misinterpretation that
these data centers use a whole ton of water. There
are old, bad data centers from decades ago that do
use evaporative technology in states like Arizona where it's very dry.

(44:05):
They pump water over the data center, and then they
use evaporation to get rid of the heat. That is
not how new data centers today operate. That is incredibly wasteful. Technologically,
they use closed-loop systems. So you fill the system with water,
and then the water just circulates, much like there's water
in your refrigerator that circulates and dissipates the heat, but

(44:26):
you don't have to refill your refrigerator. So a lot
of the water issues that you're seeing are made up
as well. And, in fact, you're seeing some of the
same tactics that the left used to attack fracking. and
lies about what that technology provides for consumers and its
environmental impacts. They now attack data centers, even holding up
jugs of water that were supposedly contaminated by data centers.

(44:48):
That doesn't even make sense. The water stays inside the
data center.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Lastly, about jobs, I saw a representative, Will Hild, that
talked about $ 140, 000- a- year jobs for high school graduates. thousands of
jobs in rural areas that badly need development, along with
ongoing hundreds of jobs every day that has to keep
the centers going. Explain the job creation mechanism of data

(45:13):
centers that the left doesn't like in America. They'd rather
have somebody on welfare than working. And so explain what
happens in largely poor communities, rural communities, when it comes
to jobs.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 9 (45:26):
These data centers, their construction and their maintenance brings lots
of well, high-paying jobs to an area. And I think
you're right. I think the left, not only do they
not want people working, they want them dependent on the
Democratic Coalition for Welfare. They also don't like the types
of people who would be getting these jobs. These are
not members historically of the Democratic Political Coalition. These are

(45:48):
blue-collar jobs. These are construction jobs. These are electrical jobs,
high-skilled construction labor. That's the kind of thing that, you know,
the trade that's going to profit immensely from this data
center renaissance. And the left doesn't like that because those
people tend to vote and get Republican. And so there's
really no upside for the progressive coalition for these data centers.

(46:09):
So they're trying to kill them by, you know, misinforming people.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Lastly, talk about New York State, the Empire State to
the Golden Gate. What's happening to energy prices in California
and New York? That's not happening in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana.
Explain the differential of Democratic governance compared to Republican governance
of the power grid.

Speaker 9 (46:31):
You're exactly right. No states jumped with both feet into
ESG and the anti-growth agenda like New York and California
and Illinois. And unfortunately, the state I live in, Maryland,
and we are seeing.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
The effects of that now.

Speaker 9 (46:47):
It takes a little while when you stop maintaining your car, right?
At first, it feels fine, right? You're just saving money
on the oil changes. But give it a few years,
things start to break down. And that's what's happening in
those blue states. Energy costs are skyrocketing. New York closed
its only remaining nuclear power plant very unwisely. They now
need a huge increase in electricity. They invested in intermittent

(47:10):
sources of energy. Some people call them green. They're not green,
but they are on and off all the time. So
wind and solar, that has raised all kinds of issues,
not just just with prices, but grid reliability. They are
at risk in the next few years in that entire
northeast corridor that all did this, not just from New York,
but all the way up to Maine, in having brownouts

(47:31):
and backups. It's going to be almost like third world
if things continue the direction that they're headed. You look
at a state like Ohio or Indiana or Florida that
didn't do this. Prices are either stable or coming down,
and you don't have to worry about living in Brazil
where they turn the power off intermittently. You're still living
in a first-world country. So, again, the data centers are

(47:53):
actually an opportunity for us to make up a lot
of the damage that was done by the ESG movement,
but that's going to require these big tech companies to
deal with people in a respectful way and help answer
their concerns, and then they can make massive investments in
their communities.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
And Will Hild, I look at 200,000 bots. I'm not
sure what a bot is, but there's 200,000 bots put
out by the Chinese Communist Party on social media, trashing
data centers. Why are the communists doing that?

Speaker 9 (48:24):
That is a great question. I'm glad you raised that.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
I want to be clear.

Speaker 9 (48:28):
I don't think that every farmer in Indiana who might
have a question about data centers is somehow an agent
of China. He has legitimate questions, and they should be answered. However,
there is without a doubt some of the same people,
foreign entities that were pushing the degrowth agenda of ESG
and net zero a.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
Few years ago.

Speaker 9 (48:46):
They've now switched to being anti-data centers. We have foreign
agents from Russia and China trying to influence our politics
here in the United States because they are terrified.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
But we will.

Speaker 9 (48:55):
Continue to be the leader in AI, in digital infrastructure,
in tech. They are worried about us out-competing them. And
China is in a very tough position right now. Their
economy has not been doing well since COVID. And nothing
would please them more than for us to hamstring ourselves
technologically and economically here. based on faulty premises. And so

(49:17):
they're pushing this very difficult. And I would say, Some
of the exact same groups here in the United States,
some of the radical environmentalist groups like As You Sow,
As You Sow, they were pushing net zero for the
last seven to 10 years until Donald Trump just won
and obliterated their agenda. They have now switched to.

Speaker 7 (49:34):
Being anti-data center.

Speaker 9 (49:36):
It's the same anti-human, anti-growth, anti-economic development mentality and agenda.
It's just they've switched because they lost on that zero.
So now they have to push this anti-data center agenda.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
You know, when the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul,
is wearing a burqa and she's wearing a hijab running
around Muslim communities, she looks like a complete fool. And
when Gavin Newsom, who I think he coins himself as
our next president, develop monies and support from so-called ESG

(50:06):
and green movements, that's hurting Californians and New Yorkers. I
don't see anything in the future that's going to indicate
that the– that the Pritzkers in Illinois are going to
suddenly embrace data centers. I anticipate it's going to be
one hell of a struggle in which there'll be a
separation between the red states and the blue states as
far as conduct of living. I filled up my Chevy

(50:30):
Blazer yesterday in Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
It was $ 3. 69 a gallon.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
And that means if you take the 25% inflation over
the last six years, 85% caused by Democratic policies, That
means if we didn't have the Democrats in charge during
the Biden years, that $ 3. 69 would be $ 2. 69 a gallon.
But Trump has only been in office again for about
20 months. It's pinned with the failure of the policies

(50:56):
of Joe Biden, whether it's the so-called green movement that's
destroying this country or whether it's data centers. And you
have a classic comment in your story and your column
at Fox News in which you say, quote, many consumers
have yet to hear a good reason why they personally
benefit from data centers to begin with. And because the
media won't cover it objectively, hopefully you and I just did.

(51:19):
Will Hill, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And, Will,
you're a great American, and thank you very much. God
bless you.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (51:26):
Thanks so much for having me, Bill.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
All right.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
The truth will set you free, and the media is
not in the business of the truth. Bill Cunningham, NewsRadio 700, WLW.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Hello.

Speaker 7 (51:40):
Hello.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
Hello.

Speaker 7 (51:41):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Quiet, numbskulls. I'm broadcasting.

Speaker 5 (51:43):
Go for it, you bonehead.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
All right, guys.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Segment, that's wide receiver Landon Robinson getting the good news.
Defensive tackle. I call him a.

Speaker 10 (51:54):
A seventh-round draft pick makes the Bengals.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
What happened to that one guy that was the wide
receiver that's so good?

Speaker 5 (52:00):
He made it, too.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
So both of them did. He got a call from
Troy Walters, the wide receiver coach. That was Jerry Montgomery, right, Sheriff? Yeah,
defensive line coach calling him.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
Oh, good.

Speaker 10 (52:13):
And the other wide receiver made it. He's the guy
that went. He's a CFL champion, helped us Saskatchewan, the
Rough Riders, win the CFL. He's the one who drove
from Georgia to get the tryout, and he made the team.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
That's good stuff, I guess. Now, two weeks from now,
or shall we say one week from yesterday, it all starts.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
Bingo.

Speaker 7 (52:36):
Bingo.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
So it's going to be unbelievable. We've got about two
weeks to go, and then away we go with Tampa Bay.

Speaker 10 (52:41):
Willie, the Stooge Report is a proud service of your
local Tempstar heating and air conditioning dealers.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Tempstar, quality you can feel in Cincinnati.

Speaker 10 (52:49):
Call Sheldon Braun at Braun Heating at 513-385-7765.

Speaker 5 (52:54):
Sports!

Speaker 10 (52:55):
Sports! Thank you, Roxy, and you're going to need it
this week. It's going to be 8 billion degrees every day.
So you need temp star, quality you can feed.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Need it badly, segment.

Speaker 10 (53:07):
Reds update Willie Big Sal Stewart, homered for his third
straight game. The Reds beat the Cubs, take two out
of three. Dane Myers, Tyler Stevenson, Hector Rodriguez all homered yesterday.

Speaker 4 (53:18):
But.

Speaker 5 (53:18):
But.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
L.A.

Speaker 10 (53:19):
De La Cruz left the game in the fifth with
a left quad tightness.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Here we go.

Speaker 10 (53:23):
So we'll see what happens if he's in the lineup
coming up today or not.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
I got a report later on the day yesterday he
might play today.

Speaker 5 (53:30):
I think the D.H., What about that? That's all right
with me. Let him play.

Speaker 10 (53:34):
As long as he's in there. Homestand begins tonight, first
to three against the Padres. They were swept by Tampa
Bay over the weekend. And coverage begins. The sports talk,
R & L Carrier's inside pitch at 540. Kelsey Chevrolet
extra inning show after the game. Now, Sal Stewart will
continue hitting as the Cardinals have placed rookie of the

(53:56):
year candidate J.J.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
Weatherholt on. on the I.L.

Speaker 10 (53:59):
Yesterday with right wrist tendonitis.

Speaker 5 (54:02):
Oh, he's done. Hopefully done.

Speaker 10 (54:05):
And then, Willie, let's see, after beating the Cubs last night,
the Reds have 25 games now to even their record at.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
500.

Speaker 5 (54:12):
What do they got to do to get there, Seg, man?

Speaker 10 (54:15):
Well, in the middle of the pack, they have set
a major league record with three young players according to OptiStats.

Speaker 5 (54:23):
OptiStats. OptiStats.

Speaker 10 (54:26):
I guess that's Joel Luckup's business.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
I like Luckup.

Speaker 10 (54:30):
Three players under 25 who have posted significant numbers in
this season.

Speaker 5 (54:35):
Let's see. Sal Stewart, 31 home runs, 101 runs batted in.

Speaker 10 (54:38):
A player under 25 with 20 homers and 20 steals,
De La Cruz.

Speaker 5 (54:40):
And a pitcher under 25 with 15 wins and Chase Burns.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Who may not pitch again, according to Jeff Brantley. Can
you tell us about that? He pitched last night in primetime.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Right.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Somehow the Reds won.

Speaker 5 (54:57):
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 7 (54:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (54:59):
That's all up to Terry Francona and the Reds brass.
Bengals update. They got down to the 53-man roster yesterday.
Everybody knows about the cuts.

Speaker 5 (55:10):
Let's see.

Speaker 7 (55:13):
Bengals.

Speaker 5 (55:13):
The Cincinnati Slingers.

Speaker 10 (55:15):
Came three points away from winning the IAL Championship, Willie.
Congrats to Anderson head coach Evan Dreyer for his 100th
win Friday over West Claremont.

Speaker 5 (55:28):
Pretty good.

Speaker 10 (55:28):
Let's see what else is going on. Xavier got a
new player, Marcus Kerr. Four-star wing for 2027. First upset
in the first round. The Joker is out in New
York City. Saw that last night's segment. He was vomiting
on the court.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Not a good.

Speaker 5 (55:43):
J.J.

Speaker 10 (55:44):
Wolfe also lost his first-round match.

Speaker 5 (55:47):
Let's see.

Speaker 10 (55:47):
Peyton Stearns is losing her match today. Katie McNally and
Sloane Stephens coming up. And soccer news, Willie.

Speaker 5 (55:55):
What about it? The great one.

Speaker 7 (55:58):
Messi.

Speaker 10 (55:59):
Announced his retirement from international soccer today.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
Messi.

Speaker 10 (56:04):
Messi confirmed that he is retiring from Argentina's national team
at age 39 today. Of course, his father passed away
August 8th, and he played in six World Cups, won
the tournament in Qatar 2022, and led Argentina to the
final this year, losing to España.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
The better team won that. Would you agree Spain was
better than Argentina? Of course, the guy that beat Djokovic
was from Argentina.

Speaker 7 (56:31):
Correct.

Speaker 10 (56:32):
And your good friend Alcaraz is on court today for
his first match in a while.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
You know, Segment, we all have people in high school
that were important to us.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Back in the good old days when men were men,
I had a high school basketball coach named Jerry Wood.
I got word last week he was in hospice care.
I got word a couple hours ago he's passed away
at the age of 93. So Jerry Wood was my
coach and my three years at Deer Park High School
from October until May. He was my basketball coach and

(57:01):
my baseball coach. I spent more time with him than
any other person because he was my coach. Very close.
He was a great man. He taught thousands of athletes
and instructed tens of thousands of students. About a 35-year,
40-year career in teaching and coaching. Jerry Wood passed away
yesterday at the age of 93.

Speaker 10 (57:23):
Hopefully, Willie, the park will honor him soon.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Well, I talked to the superintendent, and I talked to
the principal, the aunt, Jim Stahl, who runs Deer Park
with an iron grip. That will take place, and we're
going to let the family lead. Tell us what to do.

Speaker 10 (57:38):
And, of course, Willie, college football begins in earnest. Saturday,
the Cincinnati Bearcats will be at home up against Boston College,
the home of the Eagles. Don't forget the Scott Satterfield
show tomorrow night, 8.05 live from the original Montgomery Inn
on ESPN.

Speaker 5 (57:55):
1530.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
I was there Thursday night in the bar area. It's
been revitalized by Tom Gregory.

Speaker 5 (58:01):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Segment, I mentioned this to your friend and mine, the
great Scott Reinhart, about a half an hour ago.

Speaker 5 (58:08):
Yes, sir.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
This week and next, this little radio station is going
to do the following, along with WEBN.

Speaker 5 (58:15):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Throw a party for about a half million people.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
Correct.

Speaker 5 (58:19):
The billboards, the attendance, the.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
Work of John Barrett, Western and Southern, The Purple People Bridge,
the ducks thrown in, the war birds with Jim Stitt.
Imagine throwing a party for like a half million people
with all the moving parts. When this thing started about
50 years ago with Frank Wood, then Bo Wood, let's
face it. When he went to Hamilton County, the city

(58:43):
of Cincinnati, he went to Covington and Kenton. He went
to Boone County. He went to Campbell County in Newport
and said, I got this idea. Well, what do you
want to do? Well, I want to shut down the
Ohio River. I want to have a fireworks display on
both sides to celebrate WEBN. And the answer was no, no, no.

Speaker 5 (59:03):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
But Wood would not take no, not Jerry Wood, but
Frank Wood would not take no for an answer.

Speaker 4 (59:08):
Correct.

Speaker 5 (59:08):
He worked at it.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
The first time was somewhat small and de minimis. 50
years later, we're going to celebrate that. With WEBN fireworks display.

Speaker 5 (59:18):
Yes, sir.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
And that's just one part of what we're doing here. Secondly,
the Reds are concluding their baseball season not in a
good way. So all the billboards, all the shows around
Reds baseball, we're going to do that. In addition to that,
throw in the Bengals.

Speaker 4 (59:32):
Bengals!

Speaker 2 (59:33):
We'll open up, what, September 14th? Tampa Bay at home.

Speaker 5 (59:37):
13th.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Open up at home. And all the billboards, all the shows,
et cetera.

Speaker 5 (59:42):
Open in orange. Right here.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
And then throw on top of that something called UC
Bearcat football. So while all that other stuff is going on,
whether it's Tony Pike or Mo or Lance or whatever
it might be, Elmo, they're going to have to put
together all the broadcasting of UC Bearcat football. And they
have to do all the billboards and all the shows.
In addition to that segment, while all that stuff's going on,

(01:00:07):
we continue to do talk radio and Tom Brennan, evening activities,
Gary Jeff. That continues anyway, correct? That's just going on.
Throw on top of that news weather traffic. That is
going on as we speak. Here it is Monday. That's
just in the next seven days with what's happening. What
other radio group in America does that?

Speaker 4 (01:00:29):
None.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
How about radio group in the Midwest or in Cincinnati?

Speaker 7 (01:00:32):
None.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Doing that. None.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
And it's done with essentially 10 people.

Speaker 5 (01:00:38):
Are there as many as 10? Pretty much.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Or 12?

Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:00:42):
That's about it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
I talked to Rhino what your day is like. He's
working 18 hours a day with Tony Bennett between now
and through Monday because all these things just don't happen.

Speaker 7 (01:00:53):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
All the coverage, all the engineering, all the broadcasters, all
the game-by-play analysts. It's happening between the Reds, the Bengals,
the Fireworks, UC Bearcat, and then you've got high school
football on top of all that with St. X on 1360. Right.
With 10 to 12 people doing all that activity.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Can you explain that?

Speaker 10 (01:01:19):
No, it's an incredible group of humans, Willie, and it's
every year. Every year it's like this.

Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
Every year.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
This isn't unique.

Speaker 5 (01:01:28):
Every day. Every day.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
So while all that's going on, we have a sales
staff of like 20 under the leadership of Stefan and
also Joe Frederick. They got to sell all these product
lines so that they stay on the air. We don't
get public money.

Speaker 5 (01:01:42):
We're not PBS, okay?

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
We don't get any of that. We got to sell, sell,
sell while all that stuff's going on. Now getting ready
also for Xavier basketball coming up later. And high school football.
And UC Bearcat football and basketball. And NKU we broadcast.
And Kentucky and Louisville basketball. And the Reds and the
Bengals and the Fireworks. And the Warbirds. I said to Rhino,

(01:02:06):
I'm not sure how you do it. But it gets done.
The producers here. The board ops, the assistants from, I
don't know, Tommy Thrall, Jeff Brantley. I guess Joey Votto
is going to come on board at some point, along
with the creeper Chris Welch. Throw on top of that
Dan Hoard. Throw on top of that Dave Lapham, Tony Pike.
Throw on top of all that.

Speaker 10 (01:02:27):
What about Tommy G and Kevin with FFC Cincinnati?

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
Well, all that's going on. We have this other little
thing called Tom Brenneman, Scott Sloan, me, you, and then
Afternoon Drive, and then Sports Talk, and then and then
Gary Jeff at the end and Dan Carroll, and then
Red Eye on top of all that stuff, that's happening too.

Speaker 5 (01:02:46):
I want to know if any small group. Can you
start from the beginning for a minute?

Speaker 7 (01:02:51):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:02:51):
Oh, I mean, I was going to write all this down.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
If I add up all those individuals, there's less than
15 people responsible broadcasting all of that.

Speaker 5 (01:03:00):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Throw on top of that the sales staff and the support,
which is, you know, we used to have 100 employees.
Now we have about 25. Because in media, things are cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.

Speaker 5 (01:03:12):
We had 100. Now we got 25.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
So no more than 25 people are responsible for all
that to make it sound seamless, professional, and like no
big deal. How does Reinhardt and Bender do it? How
does Joe Frederick and Stefan Schellhaus?

Speaker 5 (01:03:26):
How do they do it?

Speaker 10 (01:03:27):
And I'm thinking, how do we do it? Because they
all have incredible talents, Willie.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
Half a million people are going to come again to
both sides of the river. And what does it cost
to get in?

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
Zero. Zero.

Speaker 10 (01:03:39):
I wrote out every one of those invitations. I hope
everybody got one.

Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
I'm in a state of shock and disbelief. But it
gets done. Somehow, it all sounds good.

Speaker 10 (01:03:52):
We have an incredible group of people here, Willie, that
get it done.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
Does a listener understand behind the scenes what happens just
to produce UC Bearcat football?

Speaker 10 (01:04:02):
Just to produce Reds, Bengals, the Fireworks. And if they're
not on one station, they move to another. Then they
go to another. Then they're back on the other one.
Then they're over here.

Speaker 5 (01:04:13):
Over there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
And how do you staff that? You've got to staff it.

Speaker 7 (01:04:15):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
And make it sound like we know what we're doing.
And Brian Thomas in the mornings on 55.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
And we've got Elmo. We've got Tony Pike. We've got Mo.
We've got Lance. We have you in sports. And then
we get the weather from the chin. And I'm looking.

Speaker 5 (01:04:32):
And Jennifer.

Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
Jennifer. And the next eight days.
Seven days. All of this is going to happen seamlessly.
While that's going on, we do broadcast also segment. Is
that fair to say?

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
Pretty much, yeah. Eddie Fingers and Rock, yeah. Tom and me.
Does that happen? Just off to the side, that happens.
Among everything else, yes.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Can we pat ourselves on the back because no one
else will? And what does it cost a listener to
listen to you and me? What does it cost a
listener to listen to Red's broadcast, to listen to Bearcat broadcast,
Bearcat shows, Bengal shows, Red shows.

Speaker 5 (01:05:08):
Here and everywhere, all over the place?

Speaker 7 (01:05:10):
Zero. Zero.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
Nada.

Speaker 6 (01:05:12):
Nada.

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
Costs nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Maybe you and I should make more money.

Speaker 5 (01:05:18):
I'm for that. It would only cause more problems, though.

Speaker 7 (01:05:22):
You know that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
I'll take a short break. Let's go back to the commercials.
It's like, man, we have war coming up way down
the route. He's talked to the president and he's got
some information he wants to give to you. Congratulations to
everyone that works here.

Speaker 10 (01:05:36):
And also, Willie, congratulations to Randy Freaking. You were there
by the City View Tavern. How did you know that?

Speaker 5 (01:05:46):
I know everything.

Speaker 10 (01:05:47):
I'm like Sarah Elise.

Speaker 5 (01:05:49):
I know everything.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
He's coming in Friday with Freak burgers. He's put together
a freak burger. I'm not going to eat the rest
of the week.

Speaker 5 (01:05:58):
City View.

Speaker 10 (01:05:58):
He better bring about ten of them in because five
of them I'm going to get.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
And I said a guy like you, by the way,
he's rich now because he's a great lawyer.

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
His dream in life was to buy the City View
Tavern on Oregon Street in Mount Adams.

Speaker 5 (01:06:11):
I go there.

Speaker 10 (01:06:12):
I think he wanted a good.

Speaker 5 (01:06:14):
Spot for the fireworks.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
He's got a good one now.

Speaker 5 (01:06:17):
I was going to say.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
He's going to be here Friday with freak burgers. Would
you have one?

Speaker 10 (01:06:23):
I saw you and the First Lady make a rare appearance.

Speaker 5 (01:06:27):
It's on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
I'm driving around. I said, let's go to the City
View Tavern.

Speaker 5 (01:06:32):
She says, what?

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
She said, what?

Speaker 5 (01:06:34):
How's Mount Adams without us? Beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
And when I was in the public defender's office, a
guy named Bill Disney was also in the public PD's
office with me.

Speaker 7 (01:06:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
We'd walk up there from downtown Cincinnati, take about 45 minutes.
Disney wanted to play the pinball machine twice a day.
And I said, Bill, let's go.

Speaker 7 (01:06:56):
Every day.

Speaker 5 (01:06:57):
You walk up to Mount Adams?

Speaker 7 (01:06:57):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
From the Hamilton County Courthouse to play pinball with Bill Disney.

Speaker 5 (01:07:02):
Rest in peace. Say, get me out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
Do listeners understand what we give them for nothing?

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
I think they do now. Hit it. Willie, in honor
of a beautiful day here.

Speaker 10 (01:07:11):
In a tri-state, but hot, we leave you with the
immortal words of the Stooge Report.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
Always good to be with you, Bill. See you later.

Speaker 5 (01:07:21):
On 700 WLW.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
By Billy Cunningham, the great American, does the GOP really
want to win midterms? Do we really want to save America?
Are we ready to fight, fight, fight? And remember these
five words, national security emergency for elections. I'm reading from
the website, rootforamerica.com, of Wayne Allen Root, who has the
president's ear. And Wayne Allen Root, welcome again to the

(01:07:56):
Bill Cunningham Show. So explain your column you put up
a couple days ago about the national security emergency. It
was your idea you gave to Donald Trump What's happening
with it? I see there's injunctions being issued, Supreme Court ruling, U.S.
Postal Service. They still want to send out millions of
ballots to people not registered to vote. Explain how your

(01:08:16):
process started with the president.

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
You got it.

Speaker 7 (01:08:19):
And by the way, I'm a normal person who has
a normal life. So as we do this interview, I'm
out walking my big golden doodle Bubba, who's almost 100 pounds,
and he's pulling me at like 1,000 miles an hour.

Speaker 6 (01:08:31):
And he's got the strength of like 1,000 dogs.

Speaker 7 (01:08:34):
So if you hear me out of breath.

Speaker 6 (01:08:35):
There's a reason for it.

Speaker 7 (01:08:36):
If you hear barking, there's a reason for it.

Speaker 6 (01:08:38):
But anyway, in any case, yes.

Speaker 5 (01:08:40):
So here's the history of it.

Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
Like six months ago, I started.

Speaker 7 (01:08:44):
Saying, Bill, on all my TV and radio shows that
the SAVE Act was never gonna pass. And that I
didn't understand why President Trump and why all the senators
and why all the congressmen and why all the.

Speaker 6 (01:08:55):
Conservative announcers and all the influencers.

Speaker 7 (01:08:57):
Like Scott Pressler, they wouldn't stop talking about it. Save that,
save that, save that, it'll save everything. And I kept saying, yes,
it will, it's wonderful, it's fantastic, I'm all for it.
It's never gonna get through the United States Senate. They've
got too many rhinos, number one. And number two, let's
assume every rhino was Lisa Murkowski, Collins, Tom Tillis, Mitch McConnell.

(01:09:21):
Let's assume all of them were gonna vote for it.
That means you still only have 53 votes and you
need 60 unless you're willing to suspend the filibuster. And
I keep arguing they're never, they don't have the balls,
they are cowards, they're feckless, they're weak willed, or they're.

Speaker 6 (01:09:37):
Playing for the other side.

Speaker 7 (01:09:38):
And they will never suspend the filibuster, even though we're
on the verge of losing the midterms.

Speaker 6 (01:09:43):
And if we lose the Senate, the first thing.

Speaker 7 (01:09:45):
Democrats will do is laugh at our face, give us
the finger and suspend the filibuster to try and do
whatever they wanna do.

Speaker 6 (01:09:52):
So I find this comical.

Speaker 7 (01:09:53):
I find this horrible. I find this ironic because Republicans
are the ones who are destroying America because they're not
willing to do what needs to be done. So I
said it'll never happen. We're never suspending the filibuster. Therefore,
we will never pass the SAVE Act. So stop worrying
about the SAVE Act. I have a better idea.

Speaker 6 (01:10:10):
It's the SAVE Act on steroids.

Speaker 7 (01:10:12):
And I know it works. I gave it to President Trump.
In 2018, when he could not get the money to
fund the wall, the Senate would not allow the money
to fund the wall, no matter how much Trump fought,
he couldn't get it, Bill. So I said, you know what,
let me do some research, and I did. And I
came up with the idea that the president could declare
a national security emergency for the border. He doesn't even

(01:10:34):
need to have a reason why, there's no need for
him to make a case.

Speaker 6 (01:10:38):
If the president decides it's a.

Speaker 7 (01:10:40):
National security emergency, it's a fact, he can do it.

Speaker 6 (01:10:43):
And once he does it, it could be.

Speaker 7 (01:10:45):
No legal challenges. The Mark Eliases of the world, all
the Democrat lawyers who hate our country and who challenge everything.
And they win in court and they block everything we do.
They are helpless. They cannot. The Supreme Court ruled in 1983,
the only way to overcome a national security emergency declaration
by the President of the United States. is a two-thirds

(01:11:06):
vote to overturn it in both houses of Congress. And
you and I both know, no one's got the votes
to ever do that, not Republicans or Democrats, a two-thirds vote.
And unless it's a two-thirds vote, the president can veto
the House resolution, and it automatically becomes the law. And
that's it, national security emergency works. So I went to
Trump in 2018, I said, let's do this. You can

(01:11:27):
fund the wall by declaring a national security emergency for
the border.

Speaker 6 (01:11:31):
And that gives you the right to take the money
from the defense.

Speaker 7 (01:11:33):
Pentagon budget and fund the wall.

Speaker 6 (01:11:35):
And you don't even need to set it. You go
right over their heads.

Speaker 7 (01:11:38):
It doesn't matter what they think you can do it.
And he did it.

Speaker 6 (01:11:41):
They couldn't stop it. There were no legal challenges because they.

Speaker 7 (01:11:44):
Found out you could not legally challenge it. And then
they tried to overturn it. Joint resolution by both houses
of Congress. They couldn't get to two thirds. President Trump
vetoed it. And that was it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:54):
It was the law.

Speaker 7 (01:11:55):
And we funded the border. And we came up with
that idea. I was I was very proud of myself.
And I'm honored to play a part in America's history.
So now we fast forward to today. There's no way
you're going to pass the SAVE Act. So I had
President Trump on my show for an interview two weeks ago.

Speaker 6 (01:12:09):
My 17th interview with the president. And I said to him.

Speaker 7 (01:12:12):
Right on the air, you've got to declare a national
security emergency for elections, just like you did it for
borders in 2018. National security emergency for elections. And there's
nothing Democrats can do to stop you. And it's the
Save Act on steroids. You have your cake and you
eat it too. We don't need the Save Act.

Speaker 6 (01:12:29):
You don't need the Senate. You don't need anyone's approval.

Speaker 7 (01:12:31):
Just do it.

Speaker 6 (01:12:32):
Declare it.

Speaker 7 (01:12:33):
And they cannot stop you without a two-thirds vote in
both houses. And his answer on TV was, hey, stranger
things have happened, stay tuned, right? And that made the
liberal media bill go insane. It's been a two and
a half week firestorm. Every liberal media in the world
has been talking nonstop about our interview, showing scenes of it.

(01:12:53):
Always the same scene, me mentioning the national security emergency
and Trump saying, stay tuned, stranger things have happened. And
they're saying, does that leave the door open for it?

Speaker 6 (01:13:02):
Today, He tweeted out my column that says.

Speaker 7 (01:13:06):
It's foolproof, Mr.

Speaker 3 (01:13:08):
President.

Speaker 7 (01:13:08):
They cannot stop you, and that's why they're hysterical. Just
do it now, national security emergency for elections. Today, Trump
retruthed it or tweeted it out, however you want to
say it. Why would he do that bill unless he's
planning to do it? And this is the third time
in two weeks he retweeted my columns about a national
security emergency for elections.

Speaker 6 (01:13:30):
I think it's going to happen.

Speaker 7 (01:13:32):
I think hopefully, I pray, I'm honored to say, I
hope I've changed the course of history. It'll help us
win the midterms.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Well, otherwise, you know, those and I watch Democrats about
the SAVE Act, which will never pass because Republicans won't
pass it. And all I ever hear from CNN and MSNL,
I watch them. So you don't have to telling me
there's no evidence that there's any voter fraud anywhere. There's
10 people in Wisconsin, three people in Florida that are indicted.
There's no stealing of ballots. All that is true. And

(01:14:01):
registration to vote. Of course, that would require that you
know who you are. Ohio has a functional mail-in balloting
in which you have to prove who you are. You
have to put your driver's license number. You have to
give a urine sample and a blood sample to get
a ballot in the mail. And we have legitimate elections
in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana. That's not the case in California
and Nevada, for example. And I've used your previous interview

(01:14:24):
as an example when I do other interviews about what
happens in Nevada when they send out the ballot to
everyone with a driver's license. Explain the process in Nevada,
which is typical in blue states, that does not apply
to the red states. And that means there's millions of
people voting illegally. Explain what happens in Nevada when the
election starts to begin in about two weeks from now.

Speaker 7 (01:14:46):
Well, even though it's Democrats, Bill, that are destroying America, and.

Speaker 6 (01:14:49):
I think there's a, you know, I've said this a
thousand times on.

Speaker 7 (01:14:52):
My shows, there's a merger of communism and radical Islam, jihadism.
And it's never happened really in world history. It's happening
in America now. The Democrat Party has been taken over
by not only communists, but by jihadists. by radical Muslims.
It's a freaking disaster. And so if we don't get
this under control, we're gonna lose our nation. We're gonna

(01:15:13):
become Canada. We're gonna become England. Canada is now literally
owned by the Chinese Communist Party and the Muslim Brotherhood.
And that's why they've become an enemy of the United
States on our northern border. So we've gotta get this
under control. But here in Nevada, We have a system
that is a nightmare. And the reason I brought up
the communist jihadist connection is as radical as that sounds,

(01:15:34):
I still think America is being destroyed by literally Republicans,
not by Democrats, because it's rhino Republicans that always do
the most damage by being naive morons, right? And so
we had a Republican governor like 15 years ago, Brian Sandoval,
who I contend is the worst Republican governor in the
history of America. Excuse me, this is in Nevada. I'm

(01:15:55):
out of breath again. My dog is pulling me 1,000
miles an hour to walk in the park.

Speaker 6 (01:15:59):
Bubba is his name, by the way.

Speaker 7 (01:16:00):
Bubba is the greatest dog in the world.

Speaker 6 (01:16:02):
And so this Republican governor.

Speaker 7 (01:16:04):
Brian Sandoval, first problem is he was the only Republican
governor in America to give in to Obamacare and support Obamacare.
So that was the first mistake. The second mistake was
he agreed.

Speaker 6 (01:16:16):
To give illegal aliens driver's licenses.

Speaker 7 (01:16:19):
And from that point on, for a good 12 years,
we never won a decent race in the entire state
of Nevada. Democrats took control of Nevada because Brian Sandoval
gave driver's licenses to illegal aliens. And once they walk
into DMV to get a driver's license, they're automatically registered
to vote according to motor voter. Motor voter says by law,
you cannot ask someone if they're a citizen or not.

Speaker 6 (01:16:41):
You can't ask them any question. Can't ask them if
they're a fraud.

Speaker 7 (01:16:44):
Can't ask them if they're a citizen. Can't ask them
if they're a felon. You can't ask them anything. And
they're automatically registered.

Speaker 6 (01:16:51):
To vote, I guess, unless they say no, right?

Speaker 7 (01:16:54):
But then the Nevada legislature, because he passed this, Brian Sandoval,
the Republican rhino, passes this and gives them all driver's licenses.
And because of that, we lose every election and we
have an all Democrat legislature for the last 10 years.
I mean, Assembly, Senate, a huge majority Democrats. And what
do they pass? They pass a law that says every

(01:17:14):
person that walks the DMV.

Speaker 6 (01:17:16):
Not only do you not ask.

Speaker 7 (01:17:17):
If they're illegal, not only do they automatically get registered
unless they say no, they pass a law that says
they can't even say no. They just automatically are registered, period.
And they pass a law that every person in the
state gets a mail-in ballot whether they want it or not.

Speaker 6 (01:17:32):
So there's about 1.5 million voters in Nevada.

Speaker 7 (01:17:35):
Every election season, 1.5 million ballots are put in the mail.
No one knows what happens to any of them.

Speaker 6 (01:17:40):
No one has any idea. Does anyone use them?

Speaker 7 (01:17:43):
Does anyone give them to 16 friends who aren't legal
to vote and put scribble their names on it? What
is happening in Nevada, right? All because a Republican rhino
open the door to all of this. And now if
you go to DMV and you register, you drive a car,
you're automatically registered to vote. And there's nothing you could
do to turn it down, even if you're a citizen
of Mexico, China, or any other country. Can you believe this?

Speaker 2 (01:18:07):
And so what happens then, the registrar, the Board of
Elections sends out 1.5 million ballots that accumulate in the
lobbies of apartment buildings. They accumulate at work and casinos.
There's stacks of ballots here. Just scribble your name. There's
no voter ID. You don't have to prove who you
are when you actually vote. Then all those ballots go
back to the Board of Elections. They're quickly counted, and

(01:18:29):
the Democrats win. And I dare you to challenge that
system because you're taking away somebody's right to vote. That
is what's happening in California, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts. It's happening
in Illinois. It's happening in Nevada. And that's why Democrats
are dominating. And if we don't stop that process, Republicans
can't win. And once the legislature goes completely Democrat in

(01:18:54):
28 or 32, imagine if we have AOC running the
Senate and Akeem Jeffries running the House and Kamala Harris
wins the presidency. Give me the three or four things
they're going to do quickly that means Republicans will never
win another election.

Speaker 6 (01:19:09):
Yeah, well, first of all, they're going to kill the filibuster.

Speaker 7 (01:19:11):
The very thing that John Thune is so scared of,
so timid, it's almost as if he thinks the world
will end if he kills the filibuster, or even... temporarily
suspends it just for one vote to get the say-back passed.
He just won't do it. He thinks it's not gentlemanly.
He thinks it gets the rules of the Senate. Democrats,
as soon as they get a control bill, will do

(01:19:32):
it in one second flat, and they're gonna do all
kinds of things. First of all, I believe they're gonna
pass the Supreme Court, and that's the end of America.
Second of all, they're going to name two new states
to the United States of America, Puerto Rico and Washington DC.
And that's four new Democrat senators guaranteed.

Speaker 6 (01:19:48):
There will never be a Republican elected in Puerto Rico.

Speaker 7 (01:19:50):
Or Washington DC. So that's four new Democrats in the
US Senate. We will never control the Senate ever again.
So the list is long of all the damage they
could do.

Speaker 6 (01:20:00):
Those are just two very quick examples.

Speaker 7 (01:20:02):
But I believe once they, or three, once they suspend
the filibuster, then they could pass their entire radical agenda
in 2028 if they win the presidency. And my belief
is the following. If they win the midterms, it's the
end of Trump's presidency. Anyone who doesn't see that is blind, delusional,
living a fantasy. Trump will be a lame duck for
the last two years, unable to pass a single thing

(01:20:22):
for two years. He's just gonna have guests at the
White House and talk to them and discuss how terrible
things are going and America's being ruined. He won't be
able to do a single thing at all. And that's
the end of the Trump presidency. Then we get to 2028.
Because nothing's been done for the last two years since
the 2026 midterms are lost. It'll be two years of

(01:20:45):
nothing done and people are gonna feel as if four
years of Trump were a complete waste and nothing was accomplished.
And therefore they're gonna be more likely to vote Democrat
and you get a Democrat president 2028 and Trump's not
on the ballot. We all know what happens when Trump's
on the ballot. The Republicans don't come out. Republicans aren't
inspiring other than Trump. And Republican voters just stay home.

Speaker 6 (01:21:07):
And that's what's probably going to happen in the midterm.
That's what's probably.

Speaker 7 (01:21:09):
Going to happen in 2028. And then America's lost forever.

Speaker 6 (01:21:12):
Because then the one.

Speaker 7 (01:21:13):
Thing that I need to mention they're going to do
is open the border.

Speaker 6 (01:21:16):
Because we already know the game plan. They did it
under Joe Biden.

Speaker 7 (01:21:19):
They're going to do it again, and it's going to
be four more years of another 25 million illegals, and
that's the.

Speaker 5 (01:21:25):
End of America, period.

Speaker 7 (01:21:27):
I'm not exaggerating. I'm not being hysterical. I'm not trying
to tell you it's an extinction-level event for the 12,000th time.

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
I'm telling you this is it. We don't win the midterms,
and we don't win in 28.

Speaker 7 (01:21:37):
It's the end of America, period.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
To put a finer point on you, Wayne Allyn, the
leadership in Haiti, which doesn't exist, indicates they want to
become a state. And so in addition to Washington, D.C.,
Puerto Rico, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, there's eight U.S.

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
Senators.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
And on top of that, within six months of the
Democrats controlling, every illegal in the country will be made
a citizen and registered to vote. They're going to demand
from Washington that only mail-in balloting counts, like in Oregon.
So that means 20 to 40 million illegals are going
to vote, become U.S. citizens, and and then open up
the border again. Here comes 20 to 30 more, in

(01:22:16):
which case, literally, America is done. We had a good run,
but it's over, and that's what's at stake. But I
think the average American doesn't understand that. They're focused on
gasoline prices, focused on trying to buy a home. You
have 20 to 40-year-old females that are not married, highly educated,
with purple hair and rings in their nose. who thinks
America has got to be destroyed, Dr. Abdul and Angie

(01:22:40):
Nixon in Florida and Talafrico in Texas, if they win
their seats, there's nothing to stop them. And then to
put four to six more justices on the Supreme Court,
just like Jackson, Ketanji Jackson, there goes the Supreme Court.
And so what's at stake here is not a brand
of Democrats. You take a toxic blend of liberalism, throw

(01:23:02):
in the DSAs, Throw in communism and throw in radical Islam.
We're done.

Speaker 5 (01:23:07):
It's over.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
Once again, Wayne Allyn Root, we got to run. Keep
walking your dog. Have a good time with them. And
your website, rootforamerica.com. Let's warn the people what's coming. And
if they don't come out to vote this midterm.

Speaker 7 (01:23:20):
It's over.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
And Wayne Allyn Root, once again, thanks for coming on
the Bill Cunningham Show.

Speaker 5 (01:23:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:23:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:23:26):
And Bubba says hi to everyone.

Speaker 7 (01:23:27):
Bubba, the famous MAGA golden doodle, says hello to your
whole audience. Thank you, Bill. God bless you. God bless America.
And God bless President Trump and the GOP. We got
no other choice.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
God bless you. And, of course, if Dr. Abdul wins
in Michigan, he killed 9,000 dogs when he was in
charge of the dog pound. He thinks dogs should not exist.
How about that one? Bill Cunningham on 700 WLW.

Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
3-1.

Speaker 8 (01:23:52):
Swung on, and it is blasted. High, deep, left field,
way back, and it is gone. Halfway up the seats
and left. Stevenson got a high fastball, and he drilled it.
A two-run shot for Stevenson, his 14th of the year.
This one a two-run blast. And the Reds have their

(01:24:15):
biggest lead of the game.

Speaker 3 (01:24:17):
It is 6-3. Hello.

Speaker 6 (01:24:21):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
Hello. Hello.

Speaker 6 (01:24:24):
Quiet, numbskulls.

Speaker 3 (01:24:25):
I'm broadcasting.

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
Go for it, you bonehead.

Speaker 7 (01:24:28):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 5 (01:24:29):
All right, Rock.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
I've done some analysis of the National Football League. You
may know that on Wednesday, September the 9th, a week
from Wednesday... You have New England at Seattle. And then Thursday,
we go to Australia to watch San Francisco play L.A.
And the Bengals are only a three-and-a-half point favorite against
the Bucs.

Speaker 5 (01:24:49):
What do you think about that? So they play Wednesday, Thursday.

Speaker 3 (01:24:53):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
Sunday, Monday. NFL never stops.

Speaker 5 (01:24:56):
It never stops. It will be football until mid-February. And
I love it for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
I want it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:02):
How about Aaron Donald coming back? I'm saying I stole
your thunder, I'm sure. But that's a big deal. Well,
who do you run to? Him and Miles Garrett together.
How about that? On either end, right? Well, Donald plays everywhere,
but he's mostly inside.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
Isn't he kind of old, though?

Speaker 5 (01:25:17):
He's like 35. He's missed two seasons. Well, we'll see.
See if he's got any in the tank. They only
paid him $ 10 million. I mean, you say only, but
that's for a potential caliber player like him. That's a win.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
In Los Angeles, that's about $ 5 million. You don't understand that.
These players make $ 20 million. You're ignoring the question.

Speaker 5 (01:25:36):
What is the question? Cedric and I picked North Carolina
to beat TCU on Saturday, and North Carolina won. Did
you get any Sunday?

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
No, I didn't either.

Speaker 5 (01:25:49):
How did you know that Bill Belichick? I have confidence
in Bill Belichick.

Speaker 4 (01:25:54):
Really?

Speaker 6 (01:25:55):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:25:55):
How'd TCU do against Belichick last year?

Speaker 5 (01:25:58):
Like 35-7 at home.

Speaker 3 (01:25:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:25:59):
Well, what happened to Belichick?

Speaker 5 (01:26:00):
It's a new team. It's a new day.

Speaker 2 (01:26:02):
What happened? What about TCU?

Speaker 5 (01:26:03):
They were playing for the national title. Well, I think
his son was dealing with some difficulties, so probably Bill
called the game on defense. Was she there? Was the
girlfriend there?

Speaker 3 (01:26:14):
I imagine.

Speaker 5 (01:26:15):
He wouldn't go all the way to Ireland and not
bring her. She was in a cheerleader outfit, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
I don't know what night she was for sure. No question.
We'll see about that. Say, give me some sports. You
mean they didn't show her at all on the TV?

Speaker 7 (01:26:28):
I didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:26:28):
I mean, I watched the whole game in and out,
but I didn't see her.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
Where was she?

Speaker 5 (01:26:33):
Can't say.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):

Willie, the Reds open up that homestand tonight after taking
two or three in the weekend series in Chi-Town. It's
a first of three tonight against the Padres who are
coming off a sweep at Tampa Bay over the weekend.
They would have won yesterday's game, but the guy went
to the wall, caught the ball. The glove hits the
top of the wall. The ball bounces out. Three-run homer.

Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
Bye-bye.

Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
Right now, Sandy, I love the name Fernando Tatis Jr.
Fernando Tatis Jr. He can play.

Speaker 10 (01:27:23):
Coverage begins at 540. Sports talk, Arnell Carrier is inside pitch.
But then what happens? Kelsey Chevrolet extra inning show after

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
Here we go. Ray Nickting.

Speaker 5 (01:27:33):
Japan on a walk-off bunt.

Speaker 3 (01:27:35):
Bunt.

Speaker 10 (01:27:36):
Beats Hamilton Westside yesterday 3-2.

Speaker 5 (01:27:39):
But you know what?

Speaker 10 (01:27:40):
Westside fourth overall in the international and.

Speaker 5 (01:27:43):
In the world baseball.

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
That's all right with me. Can you get them in?
In a sense, they're in the finals of the U.S.

Speaker 5 (01:27:49):
Championship.

Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
They lost that game easily to Nevada. But number two
in the whole country? That's damn good. What about Ray Nickting?
Where's Ray Nickting?

Speaker 10 (01:27:58):
He's probably sleeping. Get a hold of him.

Speaker 5 (01:28:01):
Let's see. Major upset last night in the first round
of the U.S.

Speaker 10 (01:28:04):
Open is the Joker falls in a five-hour, five-set marathon.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
He needs to give it up. Rock, what do you say?
39 going on 40. Making a lot of money.

Speaker 10 (01:28:14):
Lionel Messi announcing today his retirement from international soccer.

Speaker 5 (01:28:18):
What about that?

Speaker 10 (01:28:19):
Confirms he is retiring from Argentina's national team at age 39.

Speaker 5 (01:28:24):
Messi.

Speaker 10 (01:28:24):
Played in six World Cups, won a tournament in Qatar 2022,
as you know, Rock, and then led Argentina to the finals,
losing this year to España.

Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
And the better team.

Speaker 10 (01:28:37):
Spain to you and me.

Speaker 5 (01:28:38):
So who's the guy now? Who's the top dog? in soccer?
I think Harry Kane or maybe... Harry Kane. What's that
guy from... Mbappe. What about that guy from Norway? He
got his hair cut. Oh, Haglund.

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:28:52):
He's probably one of them. I like Mbappe. I'll take Haglund.
Haglund over Mbappe.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:28:58):
Mbappe is... France, right?

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
I think so, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:02):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:29:03):
Not sure. His girlfriend's not very attractive. The trades are
not happy about Mbappe, his girlfriend.

Speaker 5 (01:29:09):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
Maybe she's a good character.

Speaker 5 (01:29:12):
Yeah, good character. Nice personality out here. What's wrong with that?
You haven't dated her, have you?

Speaker 3 (01:29:17):
No, I haven't.

Speaker 5 (01:29:18):
Not in a while. Not her. Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
She's a little too young for me.

Speaker 5 (01:29:21):
Just checking.

Speaker 2 (01:29:22):
I still have this vision. Cherie Pallello is still talking
about getting knocked up. Have you heard this story? My sister,
as you know, vice chair of the Republican Party, ran
into Cherie Palillo, talked about getting knocked up by me.

Speaker 5 (01:29:36):
What did your sister say about this? She's in like
a kind of high-profile position.

Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 5 (01:29:41):
Along with your wife.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
She's making a damn fool of myself.

Speaker 10 (01:29:43):
She's second in command to Alex T.

Speaker 5 (01:29:46):
right?

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29:47):
She controls the Republican Party with an iron grip. She's
the enforcer. Alex Tarantafillo is the easy touch. You go
see Diane Redden Cunningham, now you've got problems.

Speaker 7 (01:29:56):
Look out.

Speaker 5 (01:29:56):
Look out.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
She lays it down.

Speaker 5 (01:29:58):
She lays it down. Is she going for victory and
nothing short of victory? Yes, nothing but victory. At all costs.
At all costs.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
I'll believe it when I see it. At all costs.

Speaker 5 (01:30:04):
I'll believe it when I see it.

Speaker 10 (01:30:05):
So that's what her and Cherie Palillo talked about.

Speaker 5 (01:30:07):
Yes, talked about me knocking her up. What did Cherie
say about it?

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
She wouldn't mind. And Mike Darter, she just rolled his eyes.
Of course, simultaneously, they have to have Trisha Mackey and
also Tanya O'Rourke.

Speaker 5 (01:30:19):
Simultaneously. That's a throuple. Now, wouldn't that be something?

Speaker 7 (01:30:22):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:30:22):
Would that be on you?

Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
That would be.

Speaker 5 (01:30:25):
Yeah, I would bet against that. Well, you bet.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
Also, you bet against. I bet against Bill Belichick.

Speaker 7 (01:30:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:30:30):
And Jordan Hudson.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
Look what happened there.

Speaker 5 (01:30:31):
Look at me and Seg. But where's our Sundays? Yeah.
Add it to the list.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
Hello?

Speaker 5 (01:30:37):
What if I get you on Friday a Freakburger?

Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
Freakburger?

Speaker 5 (01:30:42):
Explain it, Seg. I had one of those in college once,
but what is it?

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (01:30:46):
One of the most powerful attorneys in the city of
Cincinnati and environs, young Randy Freaking. He's unfreaking believable. He
bought the City View Tavern on Oregon Street in Mount Adams.

Speaker 4 (01:31:01):
Really?

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
I went there.

Speaker 7 (01:31:02):
Really?

Speaker 4 (01:31:03):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (01:31:04):
And then the first lady made an official visit over
the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
I said, Randy, what the hell are you doing? He's
going to get in the restaurant business?

Speaker 3 (01:31:13):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:31:13):
Why?

Speaker 7 (01:31:13):
Why?

Speaker 5 (01:31:14):
I said, what the hell are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:31:16):
He said, look, he's got more money than he knows
what to do with.

Speaker 5 (01:31:19):
He's better because he's in the restaurant business now.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
I said, what's your goal? I looked at this place.
I said, what's your goal? I said, my goal is
not to lose too much money.

Speaker 5 (01:31:27):
I said, well. There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
All right.

Speaker 5 (01:31:29):
Good for him.

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
He said he wants to have a place to take
his friends, to look at the fireworks. Unbelievable view. Have
you been there?

Speaker 4 (01:31:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:31:35):
Unbelievable. I was there about 30 years ago. I was there.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Anyway, and I said, well, you got some work to
do on the inside of this place, too. We're going
to put TVs there, going to redo the inside, redo
the floor, the walls, the tables, redo the restrooms.

Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
Are you sure about this? I said, are you sure?
How much? It was listed for.

Speaker 3 (01:31:56):
$ 700, 000.

Speaker 5 (01:31:57):
That's a good number. There's that number again. Well, I
don't know what to say. And I said, well. You're
not an investor?

Speaker 3 (01:32:05):
No.

Speaker 7 (01:32:05):
Zero.

Speaker 5 (01:32:06):
Zilch.

Speaker 6 (01:32:06):
Zero.

Speaker 4 (01:32:07):
Nada.

Speaker 5 (01:32:08):
You're not in charge of chicken wings. Zero.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
Zilch.

Speaker 7 (01:32:12):
Yes. Nada.

Speaker 5 (01:32:12):
I got out alive. That's all I'm after. I got
out alive.

Speaker 10 (01:32:16):
Will something on his menu be named after you?

Speaker 7 (01:32:19):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:32:19):
Willie's Wings?

Speaker 2 (01:32:20):
He's bringing the Freak Burger on Friday. If you're here Friday,
you get the Freak Burger. You should have the Little Willie.
It's just like a little tiny hot dog. Like a
little hot dog. About the size of your little finger.

Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:32:29):
Call it the Little Willie.

Speaker 7 (01:32:30):
The Little Willie.

Speaker 2 (01:32:32):
Put some mustard on it. You won't even know what
it tastes like. But I said, Randy, if you want
to do it, Do it. You only go around once.

Speaker 5 (01:32:39):
Do it. Make it happen.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
Will you come to the city?

Speaker 7 (01:32:42):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:32:42):
If I get the invite, I'll come.

Speaker 3 (01:32:43):
Will you go there?

Speaker 5 (01:32:44):
Heck yeah. There's no parking, by the way.

Speaker 3 (01:32:46):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:32:46):
I try to park on Oregon Street. There's no parking.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
I said, well, how does somebody get here? Park on
a hill like this. Got upon my emergency brake. 45
degree angle.

Speaker 5 (01:32:56):
And hope it holds. Well, what a view.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
I said, what about this hill that used to slide
into the condos below? He said, we take care of it.
You got the city inspectors coming out to check the hill.
You might be going south. You might be up.

Speaker 5 (01:33:08):
You might be sliding by smaller patios. Rick, do you
know what you're doing?

Speaker 2 (01:33:13):
He said, well, not really.

Speaker 5 (01:33:15):
It's been there 100 years. I said, well. Well, we
got to do something. Test of time.

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:33:21):
So what are they going to specialize in? The Freak Burger.
The Freak Burger is a burger joint. A burger.

Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:33:28):
He's going to have it.

Speaker 5 (01:33:28):
I am burgers.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
It'll look like a Frisch's Big Boy with Frisch's sauce.
Call it the Freak Burger. I said, well, bring some in.
We'll try them, right? Are you here Friday? You doing games?

Speaker 5 (01:33:37):
I'm gone Friday. Where do you have Friday?

Speaker 3 (01:33:39):
Georgia. Where?

Speaker 5 (01:33:41):
At Georgia. Athens.

Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:33:42):
Not Ohio. Georgia.

Speaker 3 (01:33:44):
Georgia.

Speaker 5 (01:33:44):
Well, how smart.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
He's good.

Speaker 4 (01:33:46):
He's good.

Speaker 5 (01:33:47):
I got a good team.

Speaker 8 (01:33:48):
Kirby?

Speaker 5 (01:33:48):
I got a real good team.

Speaker 2 (01:33:49):
Not as good as Oregon.

Speaker 5 (01:33:50):
I'm picking Oregon. I'm picking Oregon. Need some offensive firepower.

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
You know, Oregon plays out Ohio State November 8th, I think.
The Ducks and the Bucks. You like the Ducks, you
like the Bucks. Which one do you like, Ducks or
the Bucks?

Speaker 5 (01:34:03):
I'm like a Ducks right now.

Speaker 2 (01:34:04):
That's why I picked them. I got it right there
in my notes. Who'd you pick, Notre Dame?

Speaker 5 (01:34:08):
I picked Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (01:34:10):
Who'd you pick?

Speaker 5 (01:34:10):
You picked University of Toledo.

Speaker 3 (01:34:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:34:12):
Who'd you pick? Toledo.

Speaker 2 (01:34:14):
Toledo to win it all?

Speaker 3 (01:34:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Let me see right here.

Speaker 5 (01:34:18):
Oh, here it is.

Speaker 2 (01:34:19):
We got Rock, Notre Dame. Seg, you picked Ohio State.

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:34:23):
I took Oregon.

Speaker 5 (01:34:24):
I took the Ducks.

Speaker 2 (01:34:25):
And in the World Series, the Rock has Dodgers, Seg
has the Phillies, and I got the Brewers. Hot Fudge
Sunday to all. What's on the big show?

Speaker 5 (01:34:34):
You never get any Hot Fudge Sunday, Seg.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
You lost double or nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:34:38):
You lost at some point.

Speaker 10 (01:34:38):
We'll get all these Hot Fudge Sundays, Rock. We won't
be able to get in and out the door.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
I'll bring you a freak burger.

Speaker 7 (01:34:43):
Talk to yourself.

Speaker 5 (01:34:43):
Bring me a freak burger. All right. Eddie's back, by
the way. He's back. Special news right there. Now, he
did forget his phone on the plane, and somehow he
was able to go back and get it today. It
was a whole fiasco. But he's back.

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
You can locate your phone. He's back on the show.

Speaker 5 (01:35:01):
I mean, luckily, somebody didn't take it. In the airport?
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
A lot of thieves in the airport.

Speaker 5 (01:35:07):
And Eddie's got some things on that phone that he
might not want out. I'm naked women. We have Archie
Trevino right out of the gate, our oil and gas expert.
Trump made the deal with Venezuela.

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
What do you think?

Speaker 5 (01:35:18):
Gas prices are down. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
It'll take another year to get the apparatus up and running,
but at some point we got more oil than we
can use. Media doesn't like that because it's good for Trump,
so they don't report that.

Speaker 5 (01:35:28):
I feel like there wasn't much news about this. There
isn't because it's good for Trump, so there's no reporting. Interesting.
And then we have a guest, David Caffey at 4 o'clock.
He's a hiring expert. Look, the data centers are a big,
big story. People don't like them. People do like them.
You don't like them, but you need them. But I
guess they're creating a lot of jobs. So he's going

(01:35:49):
to talk about that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
What about bidets? Sigma, I'm getting bidets. Do you think
I should get a bidet?

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:35:54):
You should have done that during COVID. That was a
big thing I got during COVID. Bidets. That's kind of weird.
I got a bidet. That's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
I used to speak French, so I feel like I
want to have my number twos along with the French.

Speaker 3 (01:36:07):
Just.

Speaker 2 (01:36:08):
and then dry dry hot air comes out water hot
air you're ready you're ready to you're ready to go.

Speaker 5 (01:36:14):
Randy freaking gonna have that at his restaurant yes okay

Speaker 5 (01:36:37):
Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
Don't do it, Randy.

Speaker 5 (01:36:40):
He said, I love it. I said, go. You're in it.
What do you do? My goal is not to lose
too much money. Not to lose too much money.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
Well, that's a good goal to get.

Speaker 5 (01:36:48):
I mean, I'm looking around. What an unbelievable view.

Speaker 3 (01:36:52):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
It's good for him.

Speaker 10 (01:36:53):
I've been there a few times when we were in
Mount Adams. Then you like it? I was thinking, I
think it's a better view than Channel 5 has up
on the hill.

Speaker 5 (01:37:03):
It's unbelievable. And the fireworks.

Speaker 1 (01:37:06):
Oh, oof.

Speaker 5 (01:37:08):
That's $ 5, 000 a person. You can make some money back.
Renting out spots. Try not to lose too much money.
That's the goal. It's a good goal. Good business strategy.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
When I was in the public defender's office, I told
Segment an hour ago, I had a friend of mine
named Bill Disney, public defender representing criminals of every description.
Twice a week, we'd walk from the Hampton County Courthouse
to the City of Utah office. And I said, what
the hell are you doing?

Speaker 10 (01:37:35):
It's like going up the Matterhorn or Mount Everest.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
Take a 45-minute walk one way, and he would sit there,
drink beers. I had a root beer, and he put
quarters in the pinball machine. He's standing to the side,
and the man to be played, Elton John, a deaf, dumb,
and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball.

Speaker 5 (01:37:53):
That's the who, but yes.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
Is that the Who?

Speaker 7 (01:37:55):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
And he's hitting the flippers, and he's got his head back,
and he's spacing it.

Speaker 5 (01:38:01):
He's trying to be Tommy from the Who?

Speaker 6 (01:38:03):
Tommy.

Speaker 2 (01:38:03):
I'm going, Bill, you're losing it, man. You're losing it.
We've got to get back to court by 1.30. And
he said, hey, hey.

Speaker 5 (01:38:10):
So you want 45 minutes uphill to play pinball and
drink beer and then come back down.

Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
And we'd leave at 11.30 and get back by 1.30.
And he said, B. Larson, the director's not going to
like her two lawyers playing pinball with your head rolling back,
listening to the Who, stepped on a blanket and he
didn't look at it he just played by feel i
said you gotta be kidding me man.

Speaker 5 (01:38:32):
What kind of fantasy was he living out.

Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
Tommy that's all i can tell you i said you
gotta be thinking about a few fantasies that bill disney
was a classic brilliant guy unbelievable I said, well, you've
got to be kidding me. We're going to walk back.
He'd go up there without me. I said, I'm not
going up there. It's uphill.

Speaker 5 (01:38:53):
Sweating.

Speaker 2 (01:38:54):
We've got suits on and a tie, pretending like we're
serious lawyers in the public defender's office.

Speaker 7 (01:38:59):
We're going to go.

Speaker 5 (01:39:00):
We're going to go to the back with Easter clowns.

Speaker 7 (01:39:05):
And he's playing.

Speaker 5 (01:39:06):
I said, Bill, Diz, come on, man. So he walks
in here and they're going to take you seriously.

Speaker 3 (01:39:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:39:12):
And then if somebody was playing the machine, he'd give
them 20 bucks to get off so he could play quickly.

Speaker 7 (01:39:18):
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Speaker 5 (01:39:19):
Flippers.

Speaker 2 (01:39:20):
I'm going, you got to be kidding me.

Speaker 5 (01:39:22):
I'm always wondering what.

Speaker 2 (01:39:23):
Happened to him. I have no idea.

Speaker 5 (01:39:27):
What happened? All right, that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:29):
Good? Thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:39:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:39:34):
I'm laughing.

Speaker 2 (01:39:34):
And he had no humor. This was serious. I said,
how do you know what you're scoring and when to hit?

Speaker 5 (01:39:41):
You do it by feel, man, just by feel. And
I'm going, feel?

Speaker 2 (01:39:45):
I'm watching the ball being flipped around.

Speaker 5 (01:39:47):
I go, yeah, yeah, yeah. That is the oddest fantasy
I think I've ever heard of.

Speaker 2 (01:39:51):
This is Bill Disney. What a guy.

Speaker 5 (01:39:53):
He's emulating the deaf, dumb, and blind kid from the
Who album.

Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
He identified as deaf, dumb, and blind. That's what he
identified as. I said, look at what you're hitting. What's
the point? There was no point. He played two games.

Speaker 5 (01:40:06):
Let's go. I'm going, you got to be kidding me.
You just got there. I just got there.

Speaker 4 (01:40:10):
Come on.

Speaker 5 (01:40:10):
Come on, Diz.

Speaker 2 (01:40:11):
We got to go back to court. Oh, my God.
Thank you, Rock.

Speaker 4 (01:40:16):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:40:18):
Have you ever heard of something like this?

Speaker 7 (01:40:19):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:40:20):
I've known some weird people in my time. Would you agree?

Speaker 3 (01:40:23):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:40:23):
That's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:40:24):
Les Gaines and the Gainesmobile playing Temptations music and the
projects getting new clients. And I'd be sitting in the
back of the bus to make sure Mr. Green made
a good appearance. Got to get the money right, cousin Willie.
Get the money right.

Speaker 5 (01:40:39):
Seven on seven at seven.

Speaker 7 (01:40:41):
Right? Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:40:41):
Seven on seven at seven. Seven on seven at seven.

Speaker 2 (01:40:47):
Anyway, get me out. In honor of Bill Disney, I
assume he's dead, but I'm not sure. The deaf-dumb-and-blind kid
sure plays a mean pinball.

Speaker 10 (01:40:57):
Well, in honor of a beautiful day here in the Tri-State,
stay cool. We leave you with the immortal words of
the Stooge Report.

Speaker 1 (01:41:05):
What a lame lot.

Speaker 5 (01:41:07):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:41:09):
Is that Chaz?

Speaker 5 (01:41:11):
Yeah, Chaz.

Speaker 2 (01:41:12):
That's the best. Get him back in charge. Get rid
of F. Tabistan.

Speaker 5 (01:41:15):
You and him should go to the tavern and have
a burger. I'm going to get a hold of him.
And get him on air.

Speaker 2 (01:41:21):
Get him on the air.

Speaker 3 (01:41:22):
He won't.

Speaker 8 (01:41:22):
On 700 WLW.

Speaker 3 (01:41:29):
My boss calls me Bob, even though my name is Dave.

Speaker 5 (01:41:31):
The salesman laughed when I asked if he had any
shoes in my size.

Speaker 8 (01:41:35):
My 16-year-old daughter is dating a 27-year-old parolee nicknamed Stank.

Speaker 2 (01:41:41):
Sometimes life can feel a little stressful, but you can
always kick back with Eddie and Rocky.

Speaker 10 (01:41:47):
Tune in, forget about your worries, and join the show.

Speaker 5 (01:41:50):
