Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Welcome to Tuesday afternoon
in the Tri-State, picking up the pieces of a long
Labor Day weekend, including the fireworks that were unbelievable, plus
Reds baseball last night, not good. Reds lose in L.A. 6-3,
but nonetheless, back at it tonight about 9 o'clock or so,

(00:23):
and Lance has all the coverages after 6 o'clock. But
I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. As
far as what happened about a week ago, Dunn High School, D-O-H-N,
Dunn High School is in Cincinnati. And over the last
several years, there's been a circumstance that's a charter school.
And what happens is CPS and others would send kids
to the charter school, Dunn High School, thinking they get

(00:45):
special care. There were some troubled kids in there, behavioral difficulties.
And we found out that one or two individuals were
looting the school. You might recall at the time, there
were parents saying, what are we going to do now?
And Dominic Gerace is the U.S. Attorney for the Southern
District of Ohio, which is Columbus and South, representing the
United States government. And once again in the studio, Dominic Gerace,

(01:05):
welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Hey, Bill.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Good to be here again.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Good to be.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Explain, first of all, the mission of the Dunn School.
I call it Donor Dunn, whatever it is. What was
the mission of that high school?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, the mission of the Dunn School was to provide
a safe and orderly environment for educationally at-risk students. You know,
the school started as a charter community school in Cincinnati
in about 2001 and continued up till 2025, at which
time it closed its doors because of financial difficulty.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
So that was the mission. That was what it was
supposed to be doing. How many hundreds of kids were there?
Do you have any idea? Was it 500, 600? It
was around 600.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
There are allegations in our indictment that talked about how Mr. Davenport,
who was the superintendent, the former superintendent of the school,
inflated the student enrollment numbers because the more students you had,
the more money you got from state and federal funding.
But we think at the end of the school's time

(02:02):
in 2025, there's about 600 students at that school.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
And the mission was successful, I would think, in the beginning, 01.
So kids that, behavioral difficulties, kids that were expelled, they
went to Doan High School and as a consequence, they got,
I don't know if they were measured, whether they were
successful or not, and educating these troubled youth, but I

(02:25):
would assume they were. But when it closed, there were
parents all upset. They didn't know. So the money to
fund this thing came from the feds, you, came from
the state, and I think from CPS.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Is that correct?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
The money is state and federal money.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
So Ohio Department of Education and then some federal funding
sources that the U.S. Department of Education and some other COVID,
actually COVID relief funding came into that school.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
But predominantly state of Ohio funded that school. Public money. Absolutely. 100%
public money. Big money. How much money was a yearly
or over the quarter of a century it existed? Are
we talking hundreds of millions of dollars flowed in?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah, I'd have to do the math in terms of
how long or how much over the existence of the school.
But we know that in 2024, for example, say they
had 600 students is the figure that I had had.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Although, again, it was inflated.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
But they were receiving around $ 9, 700 per student from the
state of Ohio. and around $ 1, 400 per student from the
federal government at that time. So say they inflated it
to a thousand students, you could do the math there,
it's millions of dollars every year going into that school, correct?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
And the money would flow into a checking account, I
guess some central account in a bank. It would accumulate there,
and there was a board more or less in charge
of directing generally the school.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Is that correct?

Speaker 4 (03:44):
There was a board that had oversight, but The way
that the school was set up was they had a
management company, essentially. So these not-for-profit charter schools can hire
for-profit management companies. And that's where Mr. Davenport's company came in.
CCSC was the company. He acted as a superintendent from
like 2015 to 2019. But then in 2019, as superintendent,

(04:09):
acting as superintendent, Don also hired his company to be
the management company. And then, as you'll see in our indictment,
that's when the frauds start occurring. Around 2021 is when
our fraud allegations start.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
So it's been about six years. That's correct. And we're
talking about the names of these individuals you indicted. But
total money stolen from the taxpayer over that six-year period
was about?

Speaker 4 (04:30):
So our allegations, you know, we said is there's about
$ 8 million that were paid out of the Don Community
High School accounts to companies controlled by this individual individual.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Named Larry Ballew.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
And then around $ 4 million of those dollars then flowed
to companies controlled by Mr.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Davenport.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
So about $ 4 million in kickbacks, $ 8 million total coming
out of the accounts in that roughly three-year period, 2021
to 2024.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
So the looting happened to the taxpayer, but also the
students themselves. Explain the student deficiencies that resulted because of
their stealing from the taxpayer.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
How were the students hurt? Well, I mean, ultimately, the
students were hurt because the school had to shut down.
They simply ran out of money. They had financial difficulties.
So you have these students that were invested in the school.
The families of these students were invested in the school,
these educationally at risk students. And ultimately, they lost their
school and they lost it before the end of the
school year. So they were left kind of flailing around
trying to figure out a. educational solution for them because

(05:33):
the school closed down before the end of the school
year in 2025.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
So they went to, I remember at the time they
went to Taft, some went to Aiton, Aiken, Western Hills,
and some other kids just dropped out. They never continued
high school. That's right.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Highly disruptive situation for many of these students, all the students, frankly,
because they either had to transfer or they ended up
missing out on their educational experience totally. and that was
a result of the conduct of these two individuals who
we've charged in our indictment. I'll make clear that, obviously,
these are charges that we've brought. You've got to prove it.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
These folks are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a
court of law.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Make that disclaimer, Bill. Dominic Gerace, U.S. attorney, as far
as the total amount they stole was about... $ 8 million.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
$ 8 million.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Coming out the door.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
And then we've, in our indictment, it alleges that $ 4
million of that, fully $ 4 million of that, went straight
to Mr. Davenport, who was the former superintendent of the school.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
And at the time, they were requesting more money. While
the fraud was occurring for these six years, I can
recall them, we need more money, Department of Education. We
got more kids coming in. We have more programs. We
have psychologists. We have individuals, learning specialists, the teachers. We
got to pay everybody.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
They were.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Actively seeking more money. There's always calls for more money.
And like I alluded to earlier, Mr. Davenport knew that
the more students he could claim were enrolled in a school,
the more public funding would flow in to the school.
And therefore, the more public funding that was there for
them to take, to pilfer and use for their own purposes.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Purposes.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
At your news conference a week ago, I was shocked.
It's hard for me to be shocked of how Ballou
and Davenport looted the treasury, but also what they used
the money for. Maybe if they were using it, they
had a medical issue, you were helping the needy off
to the side. None of that was the case. They
used the money for what purposes?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
So we have in our money laundering counts and our
indictment allegations that relate to the use of the money
to lease luxury vehicles. So Bentley, Rolls-Royce, And also use
of the money for luxury rental properties in Miami, Florida,
a $ 30, 000 a month rental property in Miami, Florida that
both Mr. Ballew and Davenport were involved in the lease

(07:46):
of that property.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
So $ 30, 000 a month.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
$ 30, 000 a month for that rental property.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
What did they do with that? Just party?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Presumably so, Bill.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
I mean, I don't know why anybody needs a $ 30, 000
a month rental property, but they certainly thought that they
needed it.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
And they went down there, I guess, on a regular
basis from the school. They should have been running the school,
and they were in Miami on South Beach.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Yeah, I'm not sure what they were doing and how
often they were down there, but you would imagine that
if you were paying $ 30, 000 a month for a property,
you might go down there and make sure you're spending
time there.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Where are they now?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
As we sit here this afternoon on Tuesday, where are they?

Speaker 4 (08:21):
So they were arrested last Thursday by the FBI the
day of our press conference, and they will— have their
detention hearings coming up this week, and then we'll see
what happens in that. And then the case will proceed
along the, you know, the normal trial schedule. The physical
building of Don High School is still existing. What is,
if someone would drive out to Don High School, what

(08:42):
do you see?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Nothing?

Speaker 4 (08:43):
They had multiple buildings and campuses across the city. Many
of them were leased, leased properties as well. So you
would just see a vacant property, essentially.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Nothing.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
And those kids are, five to 600 kids gone to
the wind.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Gone to wherever other places, public schools, any other opportunities
that they had, but certainly a disastrous situation for them
and down to the fact that both these individuals looked
at this as an opportunity to enrich themselves and took
that path to enrichment versus what was in the best

(09:18):
interest of these students.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I said to you in the hallway, this is unbelievable.
These individuals using public money in such a way You'd
have to assume you're going to get caught. I can't
assume you're going to loot $ 8 million for the kids
leasing Bentleys and Lamborghinis and $ 30, 000 a month places in Miami,

(09:39):
not thinking at some point, I'm going to get caught, right?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, you know, that's kind of a common thread for
fraud cases, Bill. I mean, you see that quite frequently
where you just don't understand how the folks who are
perpetrating these frauds think they can get away with it.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
It's not clear what the thinking is.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
In a lot of fraud cases that I've seen over
the years as a prosecutor, The fraud's perpetrated because someone's
just trying to keep the business afloat, and they lie,
but they're like, hey, I'm going to make it up.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I'm going to be able to keep this thing going.
I will pay back my investors. A good reason, mate.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
There's not a good reason to steal.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Correct. Not a good reason, but you can kind of
see the mindset a little bit there. In a case
like this where it's just straight-out theft, as we've alleged
in our indictment, it's not clear to me how folks
believe that they're going to be able to get away
with this. And the amounts at issue here, when you're
talking about $ 8 million– into Mr. Ballou's accounts over a
three-year period, $ 4 million in kickbacks. That's a huge amount

(10:40):
to be taken from a school like this, and I
don't know what's going through.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
People's minds when they do that kind of stuff. As
far as the board, you said there was an overseeing board,
I guess eminent citizens, whose job it was to make
sure that the school was run properly. Is the board
liable civilly or criminally? Not oversight? Yeah, I won't comment
on that.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
I think at our press conference, Keith Faber, the auditor
who we teamed up with on this case, the FBI
teamed up with the auditor's office, great partner of ours,
mentioned that there's still some ongoing investigation going on there.
So I'm not going to comment on that. I think
that the way that the situation was set up with Mr.
Davenport acting as superintendent and also his own management company

(11:26):
kind of running the school, that was a recipe for
for maybe some of what we saw here.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Was there ongoing auditing or oversight, maybe not for the
whole 25 years, but for the last three to four
years when the looting took place, was there any auditing
going on?

Speaker 4 (11:42):
I'm not familiar with the procedures for how often these
types of schools have to be audited. I think what
did end up happening was there's a sponsoring organization here.
Every one of these charter schools has to be sponsored
by an organization. When they saw irregularities, they did report
it to Keith Faber's office, the auditor's office, and that's

(12:04):
where the investigation began.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
That occurred in September, I believe, of 2024.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
The school shut its doors in the spring of 2025,
and then we've brought these charges now this summer.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Dominic, is there, to your knowledge, another Dunn High School
erected by the state or by the feds or by
CPS to deal with troubled kids? Did some other high
school arise? Not to my knowledge.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
There may be charter schools out there in the Cincinnati
area or other places in Ohio that deal with the
same kinds of student population. But I'm not aware of
a school that was stood up to kind of stand
in Don's place following its closing in the spring of 2025.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
And the other issues, there must be these kids, if
there's 400 to 600 kids, high school kids at risk.
They're still at risk today. There's another group still at
risk because of these experiences that Maybe Keith Faber and
others are going to say, you know what, who's going
to step forward to do this? It's a good idea, right?
In theory, it's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
I think these schools are set up to be alternative
educational experiences for certain student populations. I think in theory,
it's a good idea. There's policies, a good policy behind it.
And then the question becomes, how do we make sure
there's oversight here and prevent something similar from happening in
the future?

Speaker 3 (13:18):
All right.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
As far as the years they're facing, assuming you can
prove this, I would imagine you have records to indicate that.
from banks and from the state, the feds. You represent
the feds and the state. You can prove the money
went in, then you can prove here's a lease Lamborghini.
Not too many principals are leasing Bentleys. I don't think
that's a regular event. And I assume you got the

(13:39):
30,000 a month pad in Miami kind of buttoned down
a little bit. What are they facing in time of jail?

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Yeah, so each of these individuals are charged with wire
fraud and money laundering. The wire fraud count carries a
maximum term of imprisonment up to 30 years. The money
laundering counts are maximum up to 10 years. Now, what
will happen is, you know, if this, when this case
proceeds and it gets adjudicated either, you know, as a guilty,

(14:09):
either a trial or by guilty plea is there's something
called the federal sentencing guidelines. And there's a bunch of
factors that kind of go into how those are calculated.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
And so the question will be, you know, what will.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Those guidelines say in terms of how much time is
going to be recommended to the judges for both these folks.
With the loss amount and the millions of dollars, it's
going to be a substantial amount of time.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
So the sentencing guidelines deal often with the record of
the defendant previously, but most importantly, how much money did
you steal?

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
If you steal $ 1, 000, it might be like, okay, don't
do that again. You steal a million dollars, that's bad.
You steal $ 8 million, that's really bad. That's exactly right.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
They're graduated to the amount of loss in fraud cases
and also the role in the offense. So you have
enhancements for you know leader organizer and and things of
that nature so uh those all play out you know
sort of post uh post guilt adjudication and we'll see
we'll see what those what those recommend and and then
we'll have to make our pitch to judge at that

(15:08):
point and.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
If you steal money from other rich guys well that's
not good but you steal money from the taxpayer and
from children needing services i would think that's that's that's.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Worse that's certainly an aggravating factor in my view and
what we would uh i'm sure argue to a judge And,
you know, the Department of Justice right now in this
administration is fixated on taxpayer-funded fraud. That's one of our
main priorities right now. It's time to stop kind of,
you know, sticking our head between our legs here and

(15:39):
making sure that, you know, part of being fiscally responsible
is going after folks that are stealing money from the
public fisc. And like you said, Bill, stealing money from
people who actually need these services.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
So be it Medicaid or Medicare fraud.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
This type of fraud where, you know, we have money
that's supposed to go to educate students and these folks
are stealing it. We are focused intently on making sure
we're bringing those cases and we're holding people.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
To account for that kind of conduct. And that's coming
down from the top.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
I mean, you know, Vice President Vance is the chair
of the White House Task Force, Fraud Task Force. You know,
we have a National Fraud Enforcement Division now that's, you know,
focused on making sure that we're working, we're, maintaining accountability
in this space.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
How's business in your office? I mean, you got Medicare,
Medicaid fraud happening. You got, you got illegals committing crime.
You got immigration violations going on Southern Ohio. Is business
good in your office? Business is fantastic.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
We are, we are rocking and rolling every, it was
a busy summer between, you know, we had the UFC
two freedom, two 50 case that we charged here in
the district. We've had some big fraud cases charged. We are,
Doing great. I'm super happy with what my prosecutors are
doing on.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
A day-to-day basis. We're doing more with less. We are hiring.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
We're trying to get folks in the door, but it
has been fantastic. I've been in the job now for
about a year, and we are doing fantastic.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
And you're a West Point guy, right? I am, yes, 1999.
Came out there, and you've been a prosecutor most of
your life.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
I was a prosecutor for 10 years as a federal
prosecutor before I went back to practice for a little
bit and then came back into this job.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Donald Trump appointed you. That's right. To be the U.S.
Attorney in Southern District of Ohio. Yes, sir. Well, business
is good. I'm glad to hear this because Medicare, Medicare.
I had on Dr. Oz the other day. He talked
about $ 100 billion is somehow lost in Medicare, Medicaid, and
they're tracking it down. You're one of the guys. $ 100
billion in one year. Yeah, it's outrageous.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
And, you know, Dr.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Oz came out and I sat down with him in
Columbus earlier this summer, and we talked about this problem.
And so we're all on the same page in the
administration on this, and it's something that we need to
be focused on. We haven't been maybe in the past
focused on enough in the department, but we're focused on
it now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well, Dominic Gerace, you're a great American. I'm glad you're there.
Hopefully you'll be there for many years. You're not leaving
anytime soon. I have no plans to leave anytime soon, Bill.
You'll be here just prosecuting the fraudsters, and business is good.
Business is excellent. All right. Dominic Gerace, thank you very much.
Let's continue news next and more on 700 WLW.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
I'm Billy Cunningham.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
I'll get back to the commercials as soon as I can.
Big weekend. I thought the fireworks, I watched them and
listened to them on WEBN. As you know, I'm on
the air Sunday night. So it was, by any fair
objective indicator, the greatest fireworks display ever anywhere in the Midwest,
bar none. It was unbelievable. And the main person responsible,

(18:35):
of course, is Scott Reinhart. the programming director here and
operations manager, who for the last 35 years has put
together the fireworks. Quiet guy, getting it done every chance
he can.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Good man.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
And remember, Scott Reinhart is the son of Dave Reinhart.
You might recall a good friend of the legendary Dusty Rhodes,
Ron Britton, and others. And Scott Reinhart grew up in radio.
He's a radio man. He's the program director here, operations manager.
And he does all the work, basically, of putting together
the fireworks organization, two years of planning for the next year.

(19:11):
And it takes forever to get it done. It's amazing
it happens. This year, the crowd was close to 750,000.
But the feds, the county, the city, and iHeartMedia, WEBN,
and Scott Reinhart doing it all. And it went off
without a hitch. And also, it cost millions of dollars

(19:31):
to put it on. And it's a one hell of
a celebration. That's laid at the doorstep of Western and
Southern Financial Group and John Barrett. So hopefully we believe
it's going to continue for years to come. I'm not
sure I'll be here for the 75th anniversary. I'm not
sure Scott Reinhardt will be here for the 75th. But
if it does take place, it's because... of the foundation
laid by Scott Reinhardt. Secondly, a few days ago, you

(19:54):
might recall Dr. Amy Acton was allegedly the victim of
an attempted assassination attempt because of the behavior of one
Patrick Havas, H-A-V-A-S, Havas, Ohio resident. And when this happened,
After a quick investigation, I assumed that Mr. Havis would
be charged with attempted murder or something serious. It appears

(20:17):
after investigation, he starts with a misdemeanor, which is disorderly
conduct and possibly an assault. According to witnesses, he had
his cell phone out recording what Dr. Amy Acton was saying,
walking toward her when he ran into the back of
an older woman who fell. then he fell on top

(20:38):
of her, then someone else fell like a bowling pin,
and all of a sudden all hell broke loose, and
the media said it was an attempted assassination attempt. And
if it was, I want Mr. Havis to be charged
with serious felonies for attempting to kill Dr.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Amy Acton.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Headline, Amy Acton's assassination attempt narrative is falling apart. So
I'm saying, okay, what is it?

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Did Mr.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Havis go there with the intent to kill Dr. the
Democratic nominee for governor, or was he recording when he
stumbled into an older woman on a walker, and she fell,
and he fell, and another woman fell, and that's it.
He was in possession of two holstered pistols, brass knuckles,
and possibly another device or two, all of which are legal.

(21:26):
And if he actually intended to kill Dr. Amy Acton,
he deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison.
If two elderly fairgoers were essentially knocked over because someone
fell in front of them or behind them, that's a
different story completely.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
What is it? I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
The New York Times itself is really not backing up
the acting campaign when it said she was the subject
of an assassination attempt. And after some investigation, it appears
law enforcement may feel the same way. And so we'll
see what happens down the road. But the New York

(22:11):
Times handed everyone the receipts proving the campaign did not
tell the truth. So whatever it is it is, I
would assume Mahoney County and the feds and the highway
patrol are involved. What was the intention of this guy?
What did he want to do? Political violence is serious.
A lot of Republicans and some Democrats have been shot. Recently,

(22:33):
you know the names. And this has got to stop
as much as possible. And if this was an assassination
attempt on either Srivek Ramaswamy or Dr. Amy Acton, serious
felony charges must be filed forthwith. And this guy must
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If

(22:54):
something else is going on, then get the information out.
After somewhat a thorough investigation... The preliminary indications are he
may have committed one or two misdemeanors. What is the truth?
Let's find out later. Secondly, although I wasn't with you
the whole time when the hung jury verdict came out,

(23:17):
which is Friday afternoon of last week, but sometimes things
occur in life that are indicators of more serious environmental, moral,
or ethical problems. You know, politics is downstream from morality
and culture. When the verdict came out of a non-verdict,
which is a hung jury, I thought to myself, okay,

(23:42):
I would have convicted Patricia Clancy in a heartbeat, would
have done it without reservation. I think her behavior was
absolutely despicable, murdering her three children. And then you had
large numbers of people supporting the murderer, which to me
is really incredible.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
To my way of thinking, my sympathies lie with Patrick Clancy,
the husband slash father. They certainly lie with the three
children who were murdered at the hands, literally, of their mother.
And Patrick Clancy's name's been ignored.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Can you imagine?

Speaker 1 (24:18):
He worked from home because his wife was having all
these mental difficulties, which are real. Postpartum depression is real.
Doing everything he could, took her back and forth to
doctor's appointments, became for several months the mother and the father,
worked like crazy to keep the family together, keep them
as one, which.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Is the way these things happen.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Any sympathy I feel will be with him, the father,
and with Cora Clancy, five years old, murdered by her mother,
and Dawson Clancy, three years old, murdered by her mother, Lindsay,
and Callan, only eight months old, murdered by his mother.
It is sick when you have hundreds of people protesting

(24:57):
in pink outfits out in front of the courthouse, Plymouth
Superior Court in Massachusetts, supporting, in a sense, the murderer,
Lindsey Clancy. And then you have $ 3 to $ 5 million
raised in order to support Lindsey Clancy when the money
should go, if at all possible, to Patrick Clancy, who's
now being the subject of death threats, that the sickness

(25:19):
in our society, some individuals want to go after Patrick Clancy.
Can you imagine when he came home, his wife was
mentally deficient in some way or another. He was the
father and the mother of his three children. He went
out to pick up a carryout or came back and
discovered the bodies of his three precious babies, Cora, Dawson,

(25:43):
and Callan. That was Patrick Clancy. He made a 911 call,
which is horrific. And at this point, my sympathies lie
with him and what he's done. in his life before
and after. And it is sad in our society that individuals,
large numbers of individuals, whether it's Luigi Maggioni, who murdered,

(26:06):
shot him in the back, healthcare executive Brian Thompson, and
there were many, many educated white females out in front
of the New York courthouse talking about how Brian Thompson
should have been murdered. And there was large numbers of
women wearing pink who wanted to justify the behavior of
Lindsay Clancy And murdering her babies. And I can only

(26:30):
imagine Patrick coming home to see that scene and calling 911.
My sympathies are with him. And I'm sure these three
precious children right now are in the hands of God Almighty.
And if I was on that jury, I would have
convicted Lindsay Clancy in a heartbeat without any problems whatsoever
of first-degree murder. Mothers don't do these things. Mental illness

(26:52):
is not an excuse to commit crime. Let's continue with more.
On the other side, Scott Powell will be here about
making connections between 9-11 and Mom Donnie 25 years later.
Bill Cunningham, NewsRadio 700, WLW. Billy Cunningham, the great American.

(27:18):
Of course, Scott Powell, author of Rediscovering America. Every now
and then he comes out with a blockbuster book, one
coming out in about 30 days. It's entitled 1776 Rising,
America's Second War of Independence. And it begins by saying,
what does it mean to stand in America's 250th birthday?
Ask whether the nation will make it to 300. This

(27:38):
is not a rhetorical flourish. It's the question this book
was written to answer. And I want to share with
you one other conclusion. You say, Scott Powell, America at
250 is not a conclusion. It's a threshold. What happens
on the other side of it depends less on any
single leader than on whether enough Americans are willing to
see clearly, act courageously, and as generations before us have

(28:01):
ultimately had to do, to rise again. One quick question.
9-11 is all over the place right now, 25 years.
And I could not have imagined on 9-11 or say
9-12-01 that New Yorkers would elect a radical Muslim leader
to be the mayor of New York City 25 years later,

(28:22):
and that a few days ago he issued some proclamation
about 9-11, and he gave the pen to sign the
proclamation to an attorney who was with the blind sheikh
and others who actually believe in radical Islam and believe
that America deserved to be attacked. And so the mayor
of New York City today is Mamdani. Could you have

(28:44):
envisioned that 25 years ago?

Speaker 5 (28:47):
No, I really couldn't, Bill. But it's just amazing that
the enemy, the evil enemy, and let's use the terminology
good and evil, the evil enemy reveals just who they
are by their actions. So Mamdani reveals to everybody who
he is by signing this legislation and giving the pen

(29:09):
to the very guy who wanted to bring the World
Trade Center down or who supported it. It's It's a
benefit to everybody if they'll only wake up and see it.
You know, we can't undo this election, but he's got
to be contained and be a one-termer. And New Yorkers

(29:31):
have got to wake up. I mean, they're losing so
much of the talent out of their city because of
the crazy politics. This is a travesty, you know. America's
greatest financial capital is now being run by not just
a socialist, a radical America-hating communist.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Who was born in Uganda, who has millions of dollars
stashed in Uganda, who came here, became a citizen seven
or eight years ago. And he freely said, uh, NYPD
needs about 8,000 officers right now. He's running a multi
hundreds of millions of dollars of budget deficits. He's chasing
away the talent out of the financial capital of the world.

(30:15):
And now I, on, On 9-11, he'll be shunned by
those who suffered greatly, but New Yorkers themselves, you and
I could not have envisioned that. And secondly, before I
get into more of your book coming out in about
30 days, it seems like we were so united. And
after 9-11, Democrat, Republican, even a relatively unpopular president, George Bush,

(30:39):
number 43, got reelected in 04, beat John Kerry. And
that was a couple years later. But nonetheless, we were
like one people. We were moving forward. And now we're
as separated as we've been since maybe the Civil War.
Is that the plan or is that a byproduct?

Speaker 5 (30:57):
No, that's the plan. That is the plan, Bill. That's
the plan. That is the communist plan. The communist plan
has four stages. The first one is demoralization. You demoralize
a people who When you undermine their traditions, you undermine
their history, you demoralize people by discouraging them. If people

(31:23):
are disconnected to the greatness of the past, the greatness
of the country, what do they have? They have only themselves.
The next stage after demoralization, which builds on it, is uh...
you know it is division and disorientation and uh... and
we're we're there i mean we're word were very disoriented

(31:45):
not in the third stage is the crisis stage in
the crisis stage can be a total revolution or it
can be a massive change in government uh... because of
state vote fraud so we've passed through the crisis the
crisis was the two twenty election uh... that was a
false election where our enemies orchestrated the rigging of our

(32:08):
election to put into place an empty suit, Joe Biden,
who was senile and who could be controlled. And indeed,
there was the auto pen that signed all this legislation
and these executive orders. Joe Biden really wasn't in charge.
It was the deep state that was in charge. It
was our enemies that were in charge of our government

(32:29):
for four years. And enemies of the United States ran
our country under the Biden administration.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
And he was gone.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
He's the same thing happening in Ohio.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
We have a Dr. Amy Acton.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
I call her Dr. Amy Fauci. She's a complete empty suit.
And if she gets elected governor of Ohio, David Pepper,
the lieutenant governor, a Democratic Party apparatchiks going to run
the state of Ohio. And so the plan is– and
it worked nationally to have Joe Biden with– he got
81 million votes, which is 14 million more votes than

(33:01):
Barack Hussein Obama received. And he was in charge of
the country, and it got close to Kamala Harris, who said,
we're going to continue his policies if I'm elected president.
I can't think of one thing I would have done differently,
in which case it was close to Kamala Harris and
Tim Walz running the country right now.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Then where are we?

Speaker 5 (33:26):
We're up the creek without a paddle.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
We're done.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
But we're never really up the creek without a paddle, because...
You know, we have God, and God's hand is on
the good people in America, and they need to rise up,
and we need to evangelize. Because people, the vast majority
of American people, they want continuity. They want the opportunities

(33:51):
for the kids and grandchildren that they had. And we
don't have to, you know, we don't have to resign
ourselves to this craziness, but we need... To get people
to get out and vote and vote for candidates that
first and foremost have common sense and understand right and

(34:12):
wrong and are generally going to vote in line with
what people want.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
You know, one thing happening.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
People don't want socialism.

Speaker 6 (34:19):
No.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
The New Yorkers don't want socialism.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
But they have it now.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
They have it.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
And I watched one of the morning news shows talked
about the incapability of our public education system. to produce
students that are literate and understand American history. And in fact,
the American numbers compared to Western Europe and Singapore and
Japan and South Korea are the lowest they've ever been.
We graduate kids that are functionally illiterate, that can't read,

(34:46):
can't write, and have no idea what the history is
because the schools don't do it. And out of the
low number, we're number 28 of 30 participatory democracies, so
28 of 30. And if you take out of that
number All the private high schools, all the local high schools,
all those, take out of that number, functioning, and deal
with urban high schools and what their knowledge base is.

(35:08):
It's well below the worst in the world.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
And we spend the most.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Can you explain to me how the public teachers unions, etc.,
can produce year after year dysfunctional college graduates, high school graduates,
and dysfunctional college graduates that have no idea what 9-11 is.
And I watched Johnny with the Waters World the other
night go into the streets of New York to talk

(35:32):
about who attacked us on 9-11. What country did they
come from? By the way, in World War II, who
did America defeat? He didn't get one correct answer out
of dozens of people. In this environment, they don't know
their history.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Why?

Speaker 5 (35:46):
This is part of the plan, Bill. What I told you, orientation,
disorientation is sort of the second stage of the communist
revolutionary pattern. I mean, this is the plan.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
It works.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
They implement it. They carry it out. And when they
can get to the the third and the fourth stage
it's it's a fait accompli it's over it's you know
then you're at the end you're at the fourth stage
is normalization of the communist regime and many people have
felt that we are in almost in the fourth stage
because we are normalizing things that we shouldn't normalize you

(36:25):
know everything's been attacked everything our our culture our identity
as You know, as men and women, boys and girls,
I mean, transgenderism is a, you know, is a narrative
that was hatched from the far-left communists who want to
fundamentally disorient us and bring about the collapse of our country.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Well, I want to share with the American people a
sentence from your introduction of your book, 1776 Rising. It
says this, why the country, which is the United States,
that defeated fascism and communism in the same century, now
seems unable to balance a budget, defend its borders, maintain
law and order, or agree on what the biology of

(37:13):
a woman is? Why the institutions that once commanded near
universal trust now command near universal suspicion? The answer kept
leading me back to the same place, not to policy failures,
but to the crisis of the American soul. Scott Powell,
that's a powerful sentence right there.

Speaker 5 (37:32):
Well it's true i believe you know uh... you know
the the and that and therein lies the hope you
know when things get really bad and you can't figure
them out you know when you recognize that it's not
just fairly failures of public policy but something more we
we need a spiritual awakening in a spiritual revival in
our country and i'm i'm not sure you know exactly

(37:54):
it may be different in different places but when people
get awakened when something really happens inside and they realize
that they're going to lose everything that they had as children,
that their ancestors had, that America is really under attack.
And it's not a shooting war. I admire people that

(38:19):
are well-armed if the revolution comes, but the revolution is internal,
and it's been going on for decades, and we're in
the latter stage of it now. So if we wake
up to that, then people will say, you know, I've
got to get out there and I've got to tell
my friends and, you know, everyone that they need to vote.

(38:40):
They need to vote for the right candidates. But, of course,
that's why Trump is pushing for, you know, the Save
America Act, which is essentially bringing honesty back to our elections.
I don't really care whether we do it by an
act or we do it by.

Speaker 6 (38:56):
You know, a....

Speaker 5 (39:01):
And an order, you know, a national security order and
a national security executive order, that really can't be challenged
by the courts.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
No.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
And to overturn it requires two-thirds of the House and
the Senate. So I think we might be on the
threshold of Trump doing just that because he's very concerned
that we're not going to have an honest election this year.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Scott Powell, one of the indicators, I think, is small
events happen off to the side that speak. loudly about
where we are. The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy verdict
was announced about a week ago, which was non-verdict.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
It was a hung jury.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
There was one male juror that said, no, she's guilty
of killing her beautiful three little kids or babies. And
there were nine women on the jury and two men
who wanted to find her not guilty. And we know
the names of Lindsay Clancy, but the names of her children,
she murdered in cold blood by strangling the life out

(40:01):
of them. Cora Clancy was five years old. Dawson was
three years old. Little Callan was eight months old. She
claimed postpartum depression. And this is the, we've always had
individuals such as Lindsay Clancy, murderers in our midst. But
to have hundreds or thousands, mainly of women, wearing pink
outfits out in front of the courthouse in Massachusetts, Plymouth

(40:24):
Superior Court, decrying the fact that she's even on trial,
wanting a not guilty. In addition to that, there's $ 3
million that have been raised so far, more to come,
to provide for her defense, so to speak. And on
top of that, you had Brian Thompson, the CEO of
United Healthcare, murdered in cold blood by someone who stalked him,

(40:49):
Luigi Maggioni. And there was large numbers of people outside
the New York courthouse that wanted him to be set
free because the murder was justified. And so when you
have these minor indicators of a sickness loose in our
culture that educated white females especially, want to free a
murderer because of the difficulties the mother has. And of course,

(41:13):
the father, the husband, Patrick Clancy, is completely unknown and uncared.
Imagine being a father of these three children. Now, the
so-called pink hat clan is blaming him for leaving her
alone with the three babies. And so Patrick Clancy, Where
does he go to recover his family? Is the behavior

(41:34):
of so-called many outside of the courthouses demanding that justice
not be done to people like Lindsey Clancy and Luigi Maggioni,
is that also part of the problem?

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Indicators?

Speaker 5 (41:49):
Absolutely it is. Absolutely. And you can be certain that
there is dark money with its origin in the killing
the globalist communists there's dark money everywhere now these people
that show up to these demonstrations are oftentimes paid people uh...

(42:12):
we have so many people that are disconnected now that
are really mentally you know what michael savage called liberalism
a mental disorder idea a mental disorder incapacitates of the
a person from being able to think straight and make
good decisions. Disorder, we have mental disorders now mainstreamed in America.

(42:35):
We really do.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
I hope it changes because you also point out in
your book, some of the difficulties include deficit and debt accumulation.
Right now, it's north of $ 40 trillion and it's rising.
Practically every major American city and most states are upside
down financially. And they're waiting for the Democrat to get
back in charge of the budget to send checks all
over the country again, like, oh, Biden did. Biden did it,

(43:00):
send checks to everybody, sent out about $ 6 trillion in
checks to pay off the cities and the states, so
their deficit spending. Well, look, up against the clock, we've
got to run. Scott Powell, got to have you on
when the book comes out, 1776, 250th anniversary of America.
Is it the end or a threshold? And until the
voters themselves decide we can't live like this anymore— I

(43:23):
think nothing's going to change.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
I agree.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
And you do a great job in educating people.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
I'm doing my part, but Scott Powell, thanks for the book,
and we're going to have you back on when it
comes out in about 25 or 30 days.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Scott Powell, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Thank you, Bill.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
God bless you. Let's continue with more. How does someone
living in Michigan look at Dr. Abdul, who's not a doctor,
and say, that's the guy I want to represent me
in the United States Senate? How does somebody in one
of the other 30 districts say, about to elect democratic socialist.
How does anyone look at that and say, you know what,

(43:58):
what we have to do now is elect more communists
to represent us. Do you understand what's happening to your country?
Bill Cunningham, NewsRadio 700, WLW. We will bring championship baseball
to Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Hello!

Speaker 6 (44:17):
Hello!

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Hello! Quiet, numbskulls, I'm broadcasting.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Go for it, you bonehead!

Speaker 1 (44:22):
So there's a rumor out there the Reds are going
to be sold. I think that's a bunch of Bovine's catology,
also known as BS.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Are you buying them?

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Well, I was offered at one point a small minority
ownership interest.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (44:36):
And I said, too much for me, I'm afraid to say.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
10 to 12 million is a little bit high, would
you agree, going back about 15 years?

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Yeah, now what is it?

Speaker 1 (44:49):
I think the Reds are worth 2 billion, I don't know.
It's what somebody will pay, but according to some experts,
the Reds are next to be sold. What do you say?
Better yet, what do the Castellini's say? I'll call them
after the Stooges. Why don't you give Phil a call?
I'm sure they'll call us and let us know. He'll
call you right back.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Yeah. Willie, the Stooges report is a proud service of
your local Temstar. Heating and air conditioning dealers. Temstar. Quality
you can feel in Cincinnati. Call Wingate Heating and Air.

Speaker 5 (45:25):

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Tempstar. Willie the, let's see, Teoscar Hernandez with a three-run homer.
Emmett Sheehan. Oh, God. Tied a career high with 10 strikeouts.
Dodgers over the Reds, 6-3. They got homers from Mr.
Citizenship himself, Eugenio Suarez. Ailey De La Cruz went deep
in the first third straight game. What about the fielding of...

(45:47):
Key Brian Hayes with two errors that allowed three unearned runs.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
How do you explain this?

Speaker 3 (45:54):
He catches every baseball to him, except last night.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Hayes, it cost the Reds $ 30 million, picked up the contract.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Candelaria was $ 45 million.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Right.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Moustakas was $ 65 million. Add those numbers up. $ 150 million
went to Hayes, Candelaria.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
And Moose. Could have saved that maybe for... Maybe somebody important.
Some guy named Schwarber?

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Well, you can't... Well, you can't put Hayes, he can't
hit the ball, and now he can't catch the ball,
and he can't throw the ball. If you have somebody
that can't hit, can't catch, and can't throw, is that
a problem?

Speaker 3 (46:30):
That's why you and I are sitting here. Game two tonight,
two lefties, Nicola Dolo and Tariq Scoble.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
Never heard of it. College football, Cincinnati Bearcats in Western Carolina.
I think they're the catamounts, aren't they? What's a catamount?
I think it's like a small... Rat?

Speaker 1 (47:32):
No, it's like a big cat, like a jaguar or something.
Like a bearcat?

Speaker 2 (47:38):
Not that, no.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
What's a catamount?

Speaker 3 (47:40):
Catamounts.

Bengals update brought to you by Midwestern Plumbing and my
good friend Chris Wilson. Doing things right the first time.
Bengals captains. Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, Ted Karras. Special teams

(48:02):
is Money Mac. Defense. Dexter Lawrence, Brian Cook, the pride
of Mount Healthy. And D.J. Turner II.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Are you as high on the Bengals as I am?

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Jamar Chase and T. Higgins returning to workouts yesterday. Since
you got all uptight last week about missing last week.
I did get uptight. With the knee and the heel contusion.
I got uptight. Jamar Stewart back in action yesterday with
no brace on that knee.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
So the Bengals at this point are in full healthy condition.

Speaker 5 (48:34):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
The Bengals this morning, some of the Bengals visited Fire
Station No. 29 in Northside to honor our first responders
ahead of the 25th anniversary of September 11th.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
How far have we come, segment?

Speaker 3 (48:47):
USA Today, Ohio Super 25 high school football rankings.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
What?

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Elder, 2. Princeton, 7.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
What about Moeller? Anderson, 10. What about St. X?

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Moeller, 20.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
St. X.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
St. Rams, 23. St. X.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
25.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Deer Park is undefeated, untied, unscored on. What about Deer Park?

Speaker 3 (49:09):
They didn't make the top 25 this week. Maybe if
they win again, they'll get in there.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
You know who they play on Friday night? Don't tell me.
The home of Tony Pike?

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Tony Pike.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Where's it at? It's going to be on the terrible
fields of Redding, not in the field at Harry that
we put together in Deer Park.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
And how about Western Michigan and Michigan on Saturday?

Speaker 1 (49:33):
That was an outrage. If you hit a stopwatch from
the time the ball is hiked until it is It's
thrown out of the end zone.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
Right.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
It was approximately 10 seconds. Hit the stopwatch. In other words,
don't delay hitting the button.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Right.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
The ball's hiked, and it took 10 to 11 seconds
from that point until it was touched out of bounds
by a Bronco player. 10 seconds. And they only gave
him nine. And so he didn't start the clock on
time in order to make sure Michigan won. Maybe it
was the same guy that was– What was that guy's name?

(50:07):
Maybe it was the former head coach Moore. He was
probably running the clock.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Sharon Moore. Yeah, and then they do it again. Just
knock the ball down. Just, you know, knock somebody around
and do something.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
There's a big sign when you enter Michigan. You know
what it says now? Welcome to Michigan. Turn your clocks
back one second.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Thank you. But right now, Michigan is a renegade outfit.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
They don't deserve to be in the Big Ten.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Kick them out. Kick them out. The SEC, Willie, today
has gone to court to look at the legalities of
throwing LSU out of the Southeastern Conference.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
What? Yes.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Lane Kiffin is not happy.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
But he didn't play the Cleveland Browns, did he?

Speaker 5 (50:53):
No.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
And Clemson got, I think, a few players out of
the portal, but not many. 51-3. So you see the
difference of what happens.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
51-3.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
It's 51-10. 10, I'm sorry. 51-10, isn't that an ass-kicking?
I would say so, yeah. How many people are going
to win in Death Valley, though?

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Nobody. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
Joe Burrow. And Death Valley, the opener... Lane Kiffin comes back.
He comes as coach. I mean, come on.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Well, I've heard a rumor that Joe Burrow has a
fifth year of eligibility and may go back to LSU.
He's not going anywhere. You're sure about that?

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
He'd do well in college with that team, wouldn't he?
Of course, he did well with a pretty good team.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
I'd say so. Jamar Chase, yeah. Justin Jefferson. Not bad.
Just have those three on offense. And see how many
points you run.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
Bingo.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
I mean, you know, have the defense play 11. I
guarantee you Burrow wins 9 out of 10.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Is he going back to LSU?

Speaker 2 (51:52):
No.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
So you're saying the SEC is in court now.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
Well, they're looking into it.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
To kick out LSU.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Could the Big Ten kick out Michigan? They're a renegade conference.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
If you allow Michigan to play.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
College athletics, Willie, football is out of control, and you
can't do anything about it now. It's gone.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Judges get involved.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Judges look stupid in helmets, shoulder pads. Yeah, that's for sure.
So get me out of the Stooges report. We have
to get back to the commercials.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
Willie, in honor of a beautiful day here in the tri-state,
we leave you with the immortal words of the Stooges report.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Just stupid.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
And so I explained everything that happened and owned it. And,
you know, just stupid.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
And that's the guy that recruited Rocky Boyman.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
And then Urban Meyer and the place, Texas, Saturday night.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
That's going to be real. We need data centers. So
Florida State can get the lights on.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:59):
Pay your bill. Duke Energy on Newsradio 700 WLW.

Speaker 7 (53:07):
I'm Billy Cunningham, The Great American.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
You may not know it, but a midterm big time
convention is taking place almost as we speak in Dallas, Texas.
And the goal is to fire up the Republican base
with appearances by all the bigwigs in Washington from Donald
Trump down and one of our representatives in Dallas. The
home of the Cowboys is Alex Gerontofilou, who's the chair

(53:40):
of the Republican Party in the state of Ohio. And Alex,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all,
Alex T., why are you Republicans having a convention at
this point?

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Well, Billy, good to be with you as always. And
I come from you live. You're actually in Dallas, Texas.
We're 55 days away from an historic midterm election here.
And look, this is the president's idea. The president is
tired of hearing the same old thing, Billy, and that
is that. The midterm is a cycle that's bad for
the party in power in the White House. And traditionally, historically,

(54:13):
that's been true. So the president said, what can we
do differently? What's different? Well, the president knows that conventions, rallies,
I mean, the man won the presidency on bringing people
together at these gigantic rallies and firing up the base.
So that's why we're here. We're here in Dallas to
tout the president's record, to tout the conservative record that

(54:34):
we can win on across America. And that's why we're
having a midterm convention. The president's leading us to change
the dynamic, Bill. Accepting defeat has never been in this
president's vocabulary. So we're here fighting for every last vote
for the midterm election so we can win.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
Alex T.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
as far as some of the issues here in Ohio,
you may be a thousand miles away, but your mind's
always focused on Ohio. Dr. Amy Acton, it appears, is
at least holding her own against Vivek Ramaswamy.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
It's going to be.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
A tight race. In fact, Kalshi, whatever the hell that is,
I think Segment Denison knows what it is.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
You can bet.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
And according to the betting cycle on Kalshi, you have
Amy Acton actually winning the race over Vivek Ramaswamy. Is
that how you see things at this point in the
state of Ohio? It's a close race with Amy a
little bit ahead?

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Absolutely not. That's not. And first of all, Cal, she's
a betting site. By the way, those very same betting
sites had Thomas Massey winning big. And I like Thomas Massey.
But listen, let me tell you that they had him
winning big, Billy. And that's not where we ended up. So, look,
we feel very, very good about Vivek Ramaswamy. Ohioans are
going to have a stark choice. It's going to be

(55:52):
a choice between communism and common sense. It really is
that stark. Amy Acton, the Democratic Party, is outside of
the mainstream of Ohio politics. outside of the mainstream of
American politics. So if you like the lockdowns, if you
like a porous southern border, if you like the mayhem
that you see in crime in our big cities in

(56:13):
Cleveland and Cincinnati and Columbus, then you're going to vote
for a Democrat in Amy Acton, someone who I think
made about 65 cents last year. I mean, this is
a person who's unemployed largely, has had no real history
other than just being kind of an activist and a bureaucrat.
And the other side of it, you have a very
accomplished business person with an incredible record of success. Bill,

(56:36):
you know this, but Vegas are right there in Cincinnati, Ohio,
born and raised right in Cincinnati. He went to Princeton
schools there, public schools, and he went to I know
he didn't go to Mueller, Billy, but that's okay.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Didn't go to Deer Park.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
He tried to get in.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Well, it's much like myself. I went to Oak Hills
because they wouldn't let me come across down to Deer Park.
But that being the case, Billy, we really like our
chances in that race. Vivek is exciting our party right now.
We see huge crowds everywhere he goes. And again, it's
just a stark choice. I mean, do you want somebody
qualified to be the CEO of this state to run
the day-to-day operations? consistent with the principles that have carried

(57:15):
this state for a long time for someone who's kind
of on the far left of the Democratic Party. So
I like our chances and those betting sites, those are
gimmicks and have really nothing to do with the ultimate
outcome of these elections.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
Now, this so-called assassination attempt of Amy Acton's got a
lot of news the last three or four days. And
I'll share with you a headline. May I share with
you the headline? You're in Dallas. Quote, Amy Acton's assassination
attempt narrative is falling apart. And that doesn't come from
me or you. It comes from the New York Times.
New York Times seems to indicate that he was in

(57:48):
possession of two holstered guns. Never, of course, pulled them out.
He had his camera up walking toward the stage where
there are like 25 people there, and he ran into
the back of a woman who was on a walker.
She fell, then he fell, then another woman fell, then
everybody jumped on top of this guy. And let's face it,
if he actually planned an assassination attempt, it needs to

(58:11):
be attempted murder at a minimum, maybe even worse than that.
He needs to spend the rest of his life in jail.
On the other hand, This Patrick Havis character, H-A-V-A-S, Patrick
Havis said he was there. His lawyers said he was
taping on his phone the speech.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
And then he ran into the back of a woman
on a walker.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
She fell. And that was the extent of it. And
this morning or this afternoon, he's going to appear in court.
And right now he starts with two misdemeanors, a simple
assault for running into the back of a woman on
a walker and also disorderly conduct. If this was an
assassination attempt, don't you think he would be charged with felonies?

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Well, you covered a lot of ground. First of all, Billy,
there's no place for any of this kind of violence
and this kind of rhetoric and all this kind of
garbage that's going on. And look, I followed those events. Listen,
I know what an assassination attempt looks like. Two years ago,
we were at the Republican Convention. We were at the
Republican Convention in Milwaukee when they tried to kill President Trump.

(59:19):
And we watched an actual bullet strike the man in
his bloodied head as he went down to the ground.
So I know what that looks like. That's awful. That
what happened there in Youngstown, we'll let the facts come out.
I did not see that New York Times article. If
the New York Times is turning on Amy Acton's story, though,
that tells you a lot. That's all I can say.
That's not an entity that's always supportive of Republicans. So

(59:42):
that's an interesting headline. I'll take a look. Here's what
Amy Acton needs to do. Let's set aside all this rhetoric.
She needs to debate Vivek Ramaswamy. She needs to settle
up and have a debate. Now, Vivek agreed to debates, Billy,
you probably know this, on CNN and on NBC affiliate,
WLWT in town. Look, we got some great friends over
at WLWT, but the NBC part of that, they're not

(01:00:03):
particularly right-leaning. So Vivek was willing to go into two venues...
That are not friendly to conservatives and actually debate Amy
Acton issues. Issues facing Ohio Bill like healthcare, like education,
like crime. The various issues that Vivek is consistently talking about.
He's been eloquent on education, eloquent on crime. prevention, strong

(01:00:25):
on property taxes, something he cares a lot about, that
regular people are worried about every single day, making Ohio
the most competitive state in the union. So he's been
very good on those issues. He should debate one-on-one with
Amy Atkins. Set aside all the noise that you're seeing
and hearing. Let's have a debate. We have 55 days
left in this campaign. Billy, she has refused. debate. She

(01:00:47):
has publicly refused to debate and have an honest conversation
in front of Ohioans about the future of the state.
That's what we ought to be talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
You know, one of the worst things Dr. Amy Fauci said,
this is going back a few years, was that the
fatality rate on COVID-19 is 50%. That 50% of us
are going to die. If we go back to March, April,
and May of 2020, when yours truly was the designated
survivor to go to the transmitter. We thought bubonic plague, Ebola,

(01:01:19):
the Black Death is coming. And now we know from Dr.
Fauci's own journal, his own diary, that he knew it
was a lie when he said it. And so at
some point, Dr. Amy Acton is going to have to
answer the question, what did you know and when did
you know it? relative to the fatality rate of COVID-19.

(01:01:39):
Why did you lock down Ohio first? How come private
schools kept themselves open, educating kids like at Elder and Muller?
And Deer Park High School was closed for like six weeks,
but you ordered urban school districts to be closed for
one and a half to two years. And she doesn't
answer those questions. And I had on from the Ohio
Press Network, Jack Windsor the other day, and he pointed

(01:02:03):
out that Ohio had the largest lockdowns of any Midwestern
state because Dr.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Amy Acton had the power.

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
And so I said to Jack Windsor, well, where was
Governor Mike DeWine during this time? And politically, I know
the governor wanted Acton to be the face because if
things went wrong, he could blame her. If things went right,
he would take credit. But in reality... The governor of
Ohio did not have the power to shut down Ohio schools.

(01:02:32):
That was up to the so-called medical director. And so
I was corrected by Jack Windsor that Mike DeWine didn't
have the power to do it if he wanted to.
And so isn't the record, the public record.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
Of Dr.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
Amy Fauci in play because she's the one who directed
the shutdown in Ohio that wasn't necessary. It wasn't the governor.
By law, only Amy Acton could do it. Isn't her
record publicly a matter of debate and knowledge? Shouldn't she
stand up with a fake and justify what she did?

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Yes, Billy, she should. That's why we should have a debate.
She should defend herself on these issues in front of
Ohioans in a fair and open debate. And again, Vivek
has offered to do it on some left-leaning networks, CNN
and an NBC affiliate, The Boot. So yes, she should
do that. Billy, here's another point, though, that's very important
for Ohioans. When Republicans in the state legislature here in

(01:03:28):
Ohio began to push back and try to reopen things
like the county fairs. You know, Bill, you and I
are in Cincinnati. The county fair, not what it used
to be. If you go around in rural Ohio, the
county fair is the biggest thing happening right in small
towns all across this great state. And she wanted to
keep those fairs shut down. And when the Republicans said,

(01:03:48):
we're not gonna stand for this, we're not gonna allow
you to continue to lock people inside when spring turns
to summer. You know what Amy Acton did, Billy? She
quit on Ohio. She's a quitter. She quit. So when
she's faced her greatest leadership challenge, she quit. And that's
who she is. Again, this is not a person equipped
to be the CEO and to run our state. She

(01:04:10):
has no record to run on, nothing of significance that
she's really ever done other than lock us down. I mean,
the question is, could Anthony Fauci win a race for
governor of Ohio? The answer is hell no. And the
same is true for Amy Acton.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Is she a doctor? I had Jack Windsor on.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
Seemingly a pediatrician without a practice, without patients, having quit
three jobs in the last six years. Alex T.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
chairman of the Republican Party, is she a doctor?

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
You know, I haven't reviewed Anna yet, Billy. Here's what
I know. I know she self-reported less than one United
States dollar in income on her financial disclosure form. How much?
I don't know, Billy. I grew up in an era
where doctors made money. Amy Acton hasn't been able to
do that. She's made less than one dollar in her
recent filings and her financial disclosures. So I don't know

(01:05:05):
what that's all about. I have no idea what her
educational background is. All that investigative journalist like Jack sort
that out. But as far as I'm concerned, she ought
to stand up and she ought to debate Vivek on
the issues that matter to Ohioans. And then we get
to the bottom of who's the best candidate. I already
know who it is. And everyone else will come to
that same conclusion. And that is that our Cincinnati, born

(01:05:26):
and raised success story, Vivek Ramaswamy is our next governor.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
You're saying she makes less than, what, 50 cents a year?

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
I mean, her recent financial disclosure showed like income of
about like less than a dollar. The number escapes me,
but it's, you know, that was her financial disclosure. She said, look,
she's been an activist and a volunteer, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. But, you know, I don't know. I'd like
to see somebody coming out of the private sector where
they've been successful like Vivek. You know, Billy, our system
was designed to have people. from an otherwise successful private

(01:06:03):
sector existence and then coming into the public sector and
bringing that skill set for management and leadership and bringing
those skills into government. Vivek's the absolute perfect person for that.
He comes at this. uh you know in the same
way that the president did really which is to come
at this from the outside private sector world where you
bring fresh ideas you're not owned by lobbyists and corporate

(01:06:27):
interests and you know the swap so to speak you
can actually come in and do what's right by the
people and that's the messaging for us and that's what's
winning right now in.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
Ohio lastly we have about a minute remaining alex t
the chair of the republican party you have sherrod brown
against John Husted, beating him about the face and head
about these data centers. I kind of want Senator John
Husted to come out and defend and explain why data
centers are good. He should say the Husted plan, number one,
away from residential areas. Number two, they must supply their

(01:06:57):
own energy. Number three, there's no tax breaks given to
these data centers. And number four, it's going to create
thousands of jobs. And if you want your cell phone
to work, If you want the lights to come on,
if you don't want to have a Florida State University
problem with electricity, we have to have data centers to
fuel the economy of the 21st century when done correctly,

(01:07:18):
away from residences, providing their own power, and giving extra
power for free to the residents, which is Vivek's plan.
Why doesn't Senator Ustad respond to these ridiculous charges of
Senator Brown when he himself supported data centers?

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Well, they are ridiculous. And again, Sherrod Brown's being a
hypocrite on this. I've only got a minute to share
with you the actual truth on this question. First of all,
Republicans are not going to allow data centers to overrun Ohio.
I promise you that. That's not what's happening one bit.
Republicans are looking out for the counties, the 85, 86,
87 counties around the state that we consistently win elections.

(01:07:57):
We're looking out for everybody. That's not going to happen
on our watch. The second part of this is Sherrod
Brown is yesterday's news. We beat him two years ago
with Bernie Marino. Every prescription that he offers, Billy, he
had more than 35 years in government to implement his solutions.
He's done none of them. You know, Bill, our country
is $ 40 trillion in debt. Do you know that Sherrod

(01:08:19):
Brown was in office? While $ 34 trillion of that $ 40
trillion in debt was racked up, this is a person
who had every opportunity to avoid the globalist destruction of
manufacturing jobs in Ohio, to avoid the insider trading schemes
that made our politicians rich. He was there for all
of it, attending the cocktail receptions with Kamala Harris and

(01:08:42):
Joe Biden. He's not fit for Ohio. You watch his numbers.
He's yet to creep over 50 percent in the polling.
And that is going to be a big win for
us on election night when John Husted delivers yet a
second crushing blow to career politician Sherrod Brown's future.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
Well, Alex, see you there in Dallas with the rich
and the famous. The convention starts when?

Speaker 8 (01:09:01):
Tomorrow?

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
The midterm?

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
I'm here with the schlubs, Billy. I'm here with the
working class Republicans of Ohio. We came down here. We
drove down here. Caravans. We're down here doing the people's work.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
And the convention, when? Is tonight or tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Convention is Wednesday night, Thursday night. Follow me on X,
Chairman Alex, for up-to-the-minute updates. And watch us on Fox
News and everywhere else that's willing to cover it. You're
going to hear about the tremendous success of this presidency
and sealing our border and creating this incredible growing economy
of ours. So tune in.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
Well, I'm glad you're down there. Have a meatball for
me and Alex Trent and Philou. Thanks for coming on
the Bill Cunningham Show. The truth will set us all free. Alex,
thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Always a privilege, Billy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
God bless America.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
Let's continue with more news coming up. It's your home
of the Reds playing tonight in L.A. on NewsRadio 700 WLW.
We will bring championship baseball to Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Hello.

Speaker 5 (01:10:03):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
Quiet numbskulls, I'm broadcasting. I'll fall your bonehead.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
Now we have thieves stealing Renwald paintings.

Speaker 3 (01:10:13):
What is going on? Well, we got bigger.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
We got Rock here. He's going to have the LSU
game this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
Tell the Rock what's going on. He's going to be shocked. Well,
let's see, Rock.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
The SEC has filed an amendment to its federal lawsuit
against LSU, Lane Kiffin, and school officials today seeking the
authority for the SEC to expel the Tigers, go Tigers,
from the league. Now, in the filing, the SEC said
its presidents and chancellors are going to be Thursday to
decide whether to terminate LSU as an SEC member institution

(01:10:49):
pursuant to their constitution and bylaws. Go Tigers!

Speaker 7 (01:10:53):
Go Tigers!

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
Go Tigers!

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
You may not have a game this weekend, Rock.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
That is not going to happen. Just heard the segment.

Speaker 8 (01:11:01):
LSU is the center of the college football universe this weekend.
After that, they might be the number one team in
the nation. You're going to kick out the number one
team in the nation? I mean, LSU has put them
in quite the predicament, which he absolutely just loves. He
loves being the heel, loves being the bad guy, and
he is not apologetic about, you know, I feel like

(01:11:24):
every coach knows, look, You go to the best situation,
and you get the best players. But they're kind of
apologetic about it because people don't like that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
It's uncomfortable.

Speaker 8 (01:11:33):
He is unapologetic about it. Every one of their transfers
played big-time ball in that game.

Speaker 3 (01:11:39):
Including the ones from the Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 8 (01:11:41):
The defensive end had to pick six. The running back
is from Wisconsin.

Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
He is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
What if LSU played the Bengals? Who would be the quarterback?
We're doing this again in a second.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
I guess so. Would Joe Burrow play for LSU or
the Bengals? Both. He'd be both.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
He just changed jerseys?

Speaker 8 (01:12:00):
By the way, everyone, including myself, all last week were like,
why would Lane Kiffin want this distraction of bringing the
other players in? It's going to cause chaos on his team.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
Well, he put that little notion to bed.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
How good are they?

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
They're good.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
Could they beat the Bengals?

Speaker 1 (01:12:17):
Of course they're good. They've got some of the best players.
That's what wins games.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
You're not answering my question.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
What is the question?

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
What if Joe Burrow now played for LSU and played
the Bengals, and the Bengals had a backup, and Joe
Burrow had his fifth year and said, I'm going to
play for LSU and Lane Kiffin.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
Would then LSU beat the Bengals?

Speaker 8 (01:12:32):
Who's blocking from LSU as good as they are? Who's
blocking Dexter Lawrence?

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
Well, that's a problem.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
You might play.

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
And also, does he take Chase adjusted Jefferson with him?
Who plays them? Well, of course, he takes all those guys.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
What if those three played for LSU and they played
the Bengals?

Speaker 3 (01:12:49):

(01:13:09):
Lodolo and Tariq Scoble tonight. Two lefties oppose one another
in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
It's over.

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
6-10 sports talk and R & L Carriers inside pitch
at 9-10. It's done. Good luck to the Dayton Dragons tonight.
They play Great Lakes Loons. Can't wait for that one.
Game one of the Midwest League playoffs. What's a loon?
It's a duck, I think.

Speaker 8 (01:13:29):
The Lunas youth thinking that Joe Burrow is going to
come back and play for LSU.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
You can't tell me. It's short for Lunas. Jefferson, Jamar,
and Burrow for LSU. Who's blocking Dexter Lawrence?

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Nobody.

Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
They're going to play three guys on 11. Three guys
on 11. I'm taking Joe Burrow to win. But would
he play against the Bengals for LSU?

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
He's making much more money playing for the Bengals.

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
But in order to rush, Rock, you've got to count 10.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
10.

Speaker 5 (01:13:56):
One.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
You can't rush.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
Like playing in your backyard. If that happened, then he
would pick them apart. What about Florida State? What happened?
They need data centers.

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
They need some electricity.

Speaker 8 (01:14:06):
There is absolutely zero juice around that program. All the fans,
they want Mike Norvell gone, and he's a great coach.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
It just didn't work.

Speaker 8 (01:14:14):
By the way, it was a couple years ago, if
you recall. They were undefeated, and then their quarterback was
in the ACC title game.

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Got hurt.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Tore his knee up. Was done for the season.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Yep.

Speaker 8 (01:14:27):
And ever since that moment, it's been just downhill for
about two years, and now it's getting ready to be
a third one. I mean, how quickly things can change. Undefeated,
going to go to the playoff.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
And all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
And then, you know, the quarterback said, well, we can't
have them in the playoff.

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
You've got to think outside the box. Lane Kiffin going
to go there?

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
If they pay him a lot of money. Now, what
does this mean if LSU is kicked out of the SEC?
Can Michigan be kicked out of the Big Ten for cheating?
They should be kicked out for having a terrible quarterback.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
That guy, he's getting paid.

Speaker 8 (01:14:56):
Was he getting paid $ 12 million a year?

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
$ 12 million.

Speaker 8 (01:14:59):
And he's worse than he was last year. What's Tom
Wieman have to say about that?

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
He refuses to answer my calls. How about the added second?
What about Kerry Combs? Kerry Combs.

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
Big sign in Michigan. Welcome to Michigan. Take one second
away from your clock. Adjust your clocks back one second.
You have to cheat to win. Share it more, etc.

Speaker 8 (01:15:21):
By the way, why isn't Western Michigan, and I like
their coach Lance Taylor and the MAC commissioner, or excuse me,
Western Michigan's president and athletic director, how come they're not
standing on the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
Table saying we were wrong? They got paid $ 2 million
to play the game.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
That's beside the point.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
They want to be played again $ 2 million. They're going
to have a deal deal. In fact, I think I
saw Hurlbaugh on the sidelines giving cash to the officials.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
Connor Stallions? Was he in charge of the clock? Yes,
he's in charge. Connor Stallions. Yeah, that guy.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
I'm saying right now, Weedman's involved with this or Sherrod Moore.
Smells fishy. And Harbaugh's involved in this with bags of cash.
You mean they're coming from LA Chargers. There's two clock,
unbeknownst to everybody in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
There's another clock.

Speaker 8 (01:16:03):
There's another clock that's in real time, which is like
fractions of a second ahead of the.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
Clock you see on.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
You should go by the clock that's on TV. No, no,
that makes no sense.

Speaker 8 (01:16:14):
The other thing they've got to do is, like basketball,
they need to, in the final seconds... After 10, they
need to go to tenths of a second.

Speaker 3 (01:16:21):
Well, according to.

Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
A stopwatch, from the time the ball is hiked to Underwood,
start the clock, it was 11 seconds. The ball is
hiked until it hits somebody out of bounds.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
It was 11 seconds. They only had nine.

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
You can't throw a ball 60 yards inside three seconds
in the air and have it come down.

Speaker 3 (01:16:36):
Would you agree?

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Agree. So Michigan cheated.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
Do you agree? Get them out. Get Notre Dame in
the Big Ten.

Speaker 8 (01:16:41):
And why is there a Big Ten? They should have
universal officials. There shouldn't be Big Ten officials and ACC officials.
It should just be officials. Just gives the illusion of
funny business.

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
Just think LSU. What if LSU loses? What if LSU's
kicked out of the SEC? Will you do the game
this weekend? I'll be there. I'll be big time.

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
Are you going to interview Lane Kiffin?

Speaker 5 (01:17:01):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
We'll be meeting with him Friday about noon. And he
cooked the locker room of the other team. He's a
nice guy.

Speaker 3 (01:17:06):
Is he a nice guy? Great guy.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
Is he? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
Is he popular in LSU right now?

Speaker 5 (01:17:11):
Very.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
51-10.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Now, how popular is he outside of Louisiana?

Speaker 3 (01:17:15):
Thursday afternoon? Not good. Not good.

Speaker 8 (01:17:17):
Everybody else, but he likes that. He don't care. Getting
paid the money.

Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
He's got the money. He's got the rings. He's got
the players. He's ready to go. Remember Joe Paterno in Sandusky? Now,
several of the so-called victims have now recanted their story
and lied, collected millions of dollars to lie about Sandusky
and some homosexual act. Explain that one to me. Ruined
this guy's life. And he's in prison.

Speaker 8 (01:17:41):
And if he did it, then for good reason. But
if he didn't, how many times have we seen this before? That,
you know, it comes out that this actually.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
Wasn't the case.

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
Lindsay Clancy. Look at that. Women standing up.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
We have Mike Allen Jr. at 3 o'clock. I'm going
to break it down. The hung jury. By the way,
I got a question for you.

Speaker 8 (01:17:58):
Why did Clancy's attorney ask for a pardon from Trump?

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
It's a state case, not a federal case, right? I
assume he knows that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:06):
He's stupid. Even I know that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
Even you know that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
And Trump's got nothing to do with this. Zero. So
what is he doing? He's stupid. He's stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
And this guy blamed that male juror, called him a thief,
and stole the freedom. He's going to get that guy killed.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 8 (01:18:20):
They're going to dox him, and they're going to unveil
who he is, and they're going to.

Speaker 7 (01:18:24):
Go get him.

Speaker 3 (01:18:24):
Everywhere I look in life, I see a crisis.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
What about Amy Acton?

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
She was drunk a lot, wasn't she?

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Well, I have this story that the campaign made things
up to make it look worse than it was. I'm
not saying that happened. That's the New York Times.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
The New York Times says that. I'm not saying that happened.

Speaker 3 (01:18:41):
Yeah, it wasn't an attack.

Speaker 8 (01:18:42):
But in a world where there's thousands of cameras around
people at all times, where's the video of this?

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (01:18:48):
Where's the video?

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
They can't release it because it's fake. You're showing the video.
This guy's filming it, and he's walking, looking, hits a woman.
on a walker she falls he falls two guys jump
on top of him thinking they feel holstered guns underneath
them they're yelling gun gun gun all hell breaks loose
the guy was there to film her and he ran
into a woman he starts with two misdemeanors.

Speaker 8 (01:19:09):
You can walk around with a gun it's legal it's
legal until he brandishes it then there's.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
A problem he said well today he's being arraigned and
we'll see what happens but she's gonna win no I
worry about John Huston, Sherrod Brown, people of short-term memory loss.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
All right, what's on the big show?

Speaker 8 (01:19:27):
We've got Mike Allen Jr. right out of the gate
talking about the Lindsay Clancy hung jury. Then we have
your former girlfriend, Tanya O'Rourke. Does she say anything? Does
she make up a deal with Cherie? She may respond
to your devilish deal, your dirty deal with Cherie. That
may not be right. Maybe I fantasize things that can't happen.

Speaker 1 (01:19:47):
You never do that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
I don't do that.

Speaker 8 (01:19:48):
So we'll talk to Tanya about that. um and we
got dean rigas at five o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
And notre dame was losing three zip for the record
lsu was losing three to zip to clemson in that
game 51 that means nothing what about x how'd you
do with x it was a long time parks undefeated
a long time ago we're moving forward there's a movement
if lsu leaves the sec deer park's going to join
the gcl would you be a little surprised if.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
That happened.

Speaker 8 (01:20:16):
In this world today, no. Sandusky victims recant. So this
is going to join forces. LSU just said, you know what,
join our forces. That makes our argument more strong. So
if you say these things happened, Penn State gave you
$ 4 million. Now, what, eight years later, they're saying it
didn't happen. They still got the money. And this Sandusky's
in jail for life.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
Happens all the time. I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
Money, right? I'm going to stay out of shock and disbelief.
By Thursday, you'll have to cancel your trip. lsu if
they're kicked out of the sec i'm still going because
there's a lot to talk about.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
Should michigan be kicked out of the big 10 no
seg yeah should deer park join the gcl no just.

Speaker 8 (01:21:00):

Speaker 3 (01:21:19):
He's scared. We're going to flip the clock. What's the line?

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
On the DraftKings.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):

It's at Redding on Tony Pike Field. On the Dirt Field.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
I'll take Redding.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
Off of Tony Pike Boulevard.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
If you want Redding, I'll give you Redding. I'm taking
the park.

Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:21:32):
Undefeated on Tony. Who's Senex? No, there's no points.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
Who wins? Who loses?

Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
We don't need points.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
Who's Senex going to lose to this week?

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
We're moving forward. Moving forward.

Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
Out of the Big Ten, out of the SEC, into
the GCL.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
The SEC is.

Speaker 8 (01:21:47):
Not going to get rid of LSU. They're the most
popular team on the planet right now. And Deer Park
to the GCL, playing Elder, Muller, St. X, LaSalle. Wouldn't
that be something? That would be something.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
That's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:21:58):
Say, get me out of the Stu's Report, please.

Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
Willie, in honor of a beautiful day here in the
tri-state and the world coming to an end. As we
know it. We leave you with the immortal words of
the Stu's Report.

Speaker 6 (01:22:10):
You cannot buy this state. You cannot buy Ohio. You
can't buy us. You can't buy us.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
You can't buy us.

Speaker 1 (01:22:24):
You can't buy us.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
Why does she yell and scream at this? I'm honored
and privileged to be in.

Speaker 8 (01:22:32):
I think the grind of the campaign, which you know
for a position like that, that's like 7 a.m.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
To like 11 p.m. every day. I think she's. Showing
that she don't have the stamina for it. Her running
man ought to be Jim Beam. Or Johnny Walker. Jack Daniels.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
On 700 WLW.
