1 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: My Billy counting in the Great American Welcome this Monday 2 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: afternoon in the Triscay. 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 2: Later on, I have a report from Iran. 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: We have an activist calling in that's going to talk 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: about the status of the living in Iran and what's 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: happening there and whether or not they're so called revolutionary 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: guard is going to take on the regular Iranian army. 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: Now you're talking. Now, let us fight it out and 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: tell us who won. Then we'll deal with it later. 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: But until then, there's some more crises in the Tri 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: State going around social media. Is a demonstration of what 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: happens at the Brady Music Festival on Saturday night and Sunday. 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: If you go to my ex account, you're going to 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: see the video. It's unbelievable of hundreds that seemingly you're 15 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: beating up on each other and rioting in downtown Cincinnati. 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: That the media media doesn't work Saturday night and Sunday, 17 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: so today there might be something on it. 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. It's ugly. 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: Plus, we continue to reverberate over the nine people shot 20 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: at Cincinnati Live. A judge, seemingly a nice guy, Tony Bender, 21 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: tells me he's a great guy. Judge Bernard Munday Mundy, 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: of course of Democrat, who wanted to make sure the 23 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: person involved in the shooting with an extensive previous criminal 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: record would get out on bond. So he ordered an 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: ankle monitor to make sure this aggravated robber, aggravated burglary, 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: aggravated arson who'd been convicted could get out to live 27 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: among us once again. But until then, also the inquiry 28 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: has done a great peace up for the Pulitzer, I 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: would think by Cameron Knight. It's entitled safety Lapses, Unkept 30 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: Promises on Cincinnati block where nine kids were shot. Nine 31 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: children shot, five murdered, and according to Brian Combe, so 32 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: far this year we're twenty percent above last year. Last 33 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: year there were two hundred and fifty wounded and this 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: year we're trending toward four hundred wounded. And that's in 35 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. Throwing a union now is a 36 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: man with a great perspective on this and so much more, 37 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: former Sergeant Dan Hills. He's now retired, living off a 38 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: fatted calf somewhere in the world. Ales of Warren County, 39 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: under the leadership of David Fornshell, the prosecutor and once again, 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: Sergeant Dan, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. When I 41 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: sent you the video about an hour ago, it's at 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: signal ninety nine, put it up and I put it 43 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: on my X account. 44 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: I don't think you'd seen it up to that point. 45 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: It looks like a total breakdown, a riot, a fracas occurring, 46 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: and there's been no media coverage at all. Do these 47 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: events happen unbeknownst to many living in the tri State 48 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: And is that indicative of the violence in the city 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. 50 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 3: Will Willie, Yes, it's interview. 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: Over, that's it. Yes, yes, yes, okay. 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 3: There's the answer. Yes, that happens, that happens quite frequently, 53 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 3: and no, the media doesn't seem to have a whole 54 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 3: lot of interest in covering it. And it is. 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: It is a. 56 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 3: Total breakdown of societal order when these things are happening. 57 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: I mean, when you see these people rolling on the 58 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: ground and punching and kick and going on, you know, 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: it's amazing to me that we don't have more people 60 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 3: you killed in these big ruckuses one. You know, somewhere 61 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: in that crowd there's multiple guns right right, And when 62 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 3: the emotions get to high and everything like that. But 63 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: when you go kicking people in the head, you know 64 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: that is Look, look, look what happened with the Cincinnati beatdown. 65 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 3: You know that that poor woman you saw her when 66 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: she got punched in the head. She went unconscious, and 67 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: I understand she's got, you know, things that are still 68 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 3: bothering her with a traumatic brain injury to this day. 69 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 3: And so you can kill somebody when you're doing the 70 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: old head stomp and it's it's extreme violence that you know. 71 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: It just doesn't It doesn't exist in most of American culture. 72 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: I've been the music shows, especially when I was a 73 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: lot younger. Yeah, and I never ever, not only I 74 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: had never take place in any head stomping, not once, 75 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 3: never even considered it. No, did I even witness head stomping. 76 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: It just doesn't, you know. If I'm trying to think 77 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: of the last music show, I want to, oh, Gordon 78 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: Lightfoots old band. They're born without Gordon. I took my 79 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: wife down there. She's a good gosh. I don't think 80 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 3: she's the biggest Gordon light Foot fan in the world, 81 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: but I am. And we went down to a little 82 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 3: part of the air and off i'd never been to before, 83 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: little stage thing in there, and do you know what, 84 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 3: there was no head stopping. Let me ask you this, 85 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: not before the show, not after the show, Nobody had 86 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: stopped the after the Gordon Lightfoot recording. 87 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: To my producer Tony Bender, he loves Mariah the Scientist. Now, 88 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: I haven't seen Mariah the Scientists perform recently, but I 89 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: know nothing about her. But it attracted a crowd. Why 90 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: weren't the police involved? How come Saturday night the police 91 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: were not called? The video is all over social media? 92 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: Go to my ex account. Why weren't the police called? 93 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: And if they were called, what would have happened? 94 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: Well, getting into that crowd would have been easy. Everything's 95 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: deals with response time. You got to try to be 96 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: somewhat safe going into a crowd like that. 97 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's. 98 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 3: That's a nightmare. But here's the other thing that we 99 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 3: know that people won't even call the police that often. 100 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: What are they dealing with their cell phones? Willing They're 101 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: video tape in it? Right, they have the videotape the 102 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 3: fight and then it and then it gets shared. It's 103 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 3: the same old thing. It gets shared. Ninety nine picks 104 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: it up, exposes it. Our media wasn't going to expose it, 105 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 3: and more and more people realize what a blank pole 106 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: Cincinnati is in many different parts of it, and it's 107 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,119 Speaker 3: really sad. Got tell me about a recent, a recent 108 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: little trip and then bringing some statistics. Sure, I went 109 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 3: to Austin, Texas. You've heard of Austin, Texas, the capitol, right. 110 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: Myself and my lovely wife went down to visit her daughter. 111 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: She works down there, a great kid, making lots of 112 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 3: money down there in Austin, Texas. And when we were there, 113 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 3: we stopped and saw my wife's also retired cop. We 114 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 3: stopped and saw our friend Keief Lisa Davis, right. And 115 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: so we're just talking about Austin versus Cincinnati on things. 116 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: So Austin is more more than three times the side 117 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: of the Cincinnatian population. I think it's quite a bit 118 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: bigger in area too. It's got a million people. You know, 119 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: depending on what you run, one says a little more low, 120 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 3: less of a million. But let's just say it's got 121 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 3: a million people. Okay, Willie. That's more than three times 122 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: our three hundred and fifty fifteen thousand people. So last 123 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 3: year twenty twenty five, I think I read that since 124 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: I had seventy one homicide seventy one. So with your 125 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 3: maths doing some may I guess at the city of 126 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: Austin's three times besides of Cincinnati, how many homicides do 127 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: you think. 128 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: They've had been two hundred and ten three times seventies 129 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: two hundred and ten homicides. 130 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: That's a very logical wing answer. But it's not the case. 131 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: It's not the case at all. They had fifty five, 132 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: they had fifty five five. 133 00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: Fifty fifty five. 134 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 3: Now I now again I have to I have to 135 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: disrespect my math education at elder I had to break 136 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 3: out my calculator for this. That is twenty two percent 137 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: less than Cincinnati had twenty two percent less. So they're 138 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 3: three times the size of Cincinnati, but yet they had 139 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: twenty two percent less homicide. And you know I want well, 140 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: I walked around, we walked around, we we we we 141 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: brought our lovely little labored or retriever. And because it's 142 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: a dog friendly town, we knew it was a dog 143 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: friend town. We walked all over the place. I mean, 144 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 3: I was my old bones were aching from all the 145 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 3: walking we were doing. And you know what, the whole 146 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: time was there. I never once felt like I was 147 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: going to get, you know, whack on the head or 148 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: anything like that. It's it's, it's it's it's a safe city. 149 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: Look politically, me and the assisztens of Austin, Texas, we 150 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: probably don't look quite the same, but they don't seem 151 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: to have the same problems with violence. Why really, why really, 152 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: I'm just I only have a high school education, you know. 153 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: I all right, let's take a shot at something. Maybe 154 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: maybe we don't lock up our bad guys there. 155 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: Maybe how about heavy how about having a guy standing 156 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: in front of you, who's twenty four years old, somewhat young, 157 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: multiple four felony convictions, who opens up fire inside of 158 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: a club Cincinnati Live, and the judge on the bench, 159 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: Judge Bernard Mundy, wants to make sure that guy gets 160 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: out on a bond that he can make so that 161 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: he gives him an ankle monitor. Make sure you put 162 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: on your damn ankle monitor, and so if he did 163 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: get out, which by the way, he didn't because the 164 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: fed step didn't. But nonetheless, if you're the judge, and 165 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: this is a typical case, here's the guy with multiple 166 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: felony convictions and he's twenty four years old, trying to 167 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: shoot and kill numerous people, you know, inside a music venue, 168 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: and you work hard to make sure he gets out. 169 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: Let's get him out. Give him an ankle monitor. Do 170 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: we see a problem here anywhere? Can you smell? 171 00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: When I'm cooking? 172 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 3: For God's say, Willing, I'm going to say, I'm gonna 173 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 3: I'm gonna borrow a little bit from a podcast I 174 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 3: listened to. Do you know seventy percent of the people 175 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: in the United States America go their whole lives, all 176 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: sixty seventy eighty ninety years, and they never get arrested. 177 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: Never seventy percent of Americans seventy another another seventy percent 178 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: nowt here they get your pencil out. Another twenty five 179 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 3: percent get arrested once once, so maybe they get a dui, 180 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: maybe he doesn't really conduct or whatever. They never get 181 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 3: the second. So seventy plus ninety five percent of America 182 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: gets arrested zero or one times. The other five percent 183 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: get arrested over and over and over and over and 184 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 3: over again. And for some reason, in Cincinnati, we got 185 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 3: a whole lot of them folks. 186 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: Right, no question, there's. 187 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 3: Only one answer, right, Willing, There's only one answer, And 188 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 3: that's more social products. No, just kidding midnight basketball right, No, 189 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: the answer, the answer is incarceration. We have to decide 190 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 3: that there are people that don't belong in our society period. Amen. No, 191 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: I don't have a single college degree. I got out 192 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 3: of high school a little bit on a wing and 193 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: a prayer. But yet I can tell you beyond a 194 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 3: doubt that if we incarcerate these people who are repeat offenders, 195 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 3: and when they have high bonds and full sentences and 196 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 3: we keep them locked up, we won't have seventy or 197 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: eighty homicides every year anymore. We won't. We'll go down, 198 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 3: you know, we'll go down to sixty, maybe fifty five 199 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: like Austin. Maybe one day we'll only have a handful 200 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: of of you know, tragic things that happen. But when 201 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 3: you are letting the same five percent of the people 202 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: out of jail, no matter what they do, make sure. 203 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 2: They get out. Make sure they get out of jail. 204 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: They got to get free. 205 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: And talk to Patrick Herringer about what happens when Mordecai 206 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: Black gets out of prison with an ankle monitor. He's 207 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: murdered in his own home, beaten to death, and I'm 208 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: looking this thing, I'm going what is missing? So why 209 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: do our judges have the message? I guess some have 210 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: tap peer of aal and others who screen them to 211 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: make sure you have no cash bonds, get them ankle monitors, 212 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: let them roam around the community to commit more crime. 213 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: I would assume the judges in Austin, Texas they're all Democrats. 214 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: By the way, you can't find a Republican in Austin, 215 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: Texas with a search warrant. 216 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: They're all Democrats. And how about Memphis? I mentioned this briefly. 217 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: Memphis, Tennessee had the worst crime anywhere in America, But 218 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: now local Democratic politicians are suing the deployment of the 219 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: National Guard to crime plague Memphis because they're claiming they've 220 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: been too successful. How about this seven thousand arrest in Memphis, 221 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: eleven hundred firearms, illegally illegal gun sees, seven hundred gang 222 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: members arrested. Right now, crime is down eighty percent in Memphis, 223 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: Tennessee since the first of the here. And guess what 224 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats went to sue to get them out so 225 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 1: the crime continues. What is When I grew up, Cleveland 226 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: was liberal, Cincinnati was conservative and conservative with Democrats. We 227 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: haven't had a Republican mayor in over a half a century. 228 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: We had a whole bunch of Democrats who said we 229 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: need law enforcement. And you went through the process, Dan Hills, 230 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: you were here more than thirty years. Now you're retired, 231 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: living off the fatted calf. And so what happened in 232 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: Cincinnati that we went the route of Memphis and not 233 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: the rest of Austin and you were involved in this. 234 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: So give me your observations, if you don't mind, give 235 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: me a full report. 236 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: Well, you know, back to jail, back to simplicity again. 237 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: When I was a rookie cop, we pulled over somebody 238 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 3: that had a traffy capist with like a thirty dollars bond. Really, 239 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 3: guess where that person went jail? Jail. They went to jail. 240 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 3: And if you could hit something that was violent or whatever, 241 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 3: you stayed in jail. You did famties, You stayed in jail, 242 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 3: not as long as you should. The system wasn't perfect. Heck, 243 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 3: some even back then was saying the system was broken. 244 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 3: But I always like to say, this system ain't broken. Now. 245 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 3: It's shattered, it's shattered in pieces, it's nonexistent. There is 246 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 3: not a working criminal justice system. When a judge is 247 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: going to let somebody out on bond it just shot 248 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 3: nine people, then then there is a total dysfunction there. 249 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: And I don't care what political party you belong to, Republican, Democrat, 250 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 3: Independent or whatever. You should have a basic desire and 251 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 3: a basic calling. If you're in public service, doesn't want 252 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 3: to protect this And you know, I know there's the 253 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 3: right of the excuses what makes America America right, But 254 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 3: there is also a right to citizens to live safely 255 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: in society. And there are that five percent. Back to 256 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 3: that podcast that I got this percentage is from, and 257 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: I believe it that ninety five percent of the people 258 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 3: are are civilized. There is five percent of the people 259 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: that do not belong in society. And when we fail 260 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: to put them away, just like that that guy that 261 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 3: cut the girl's throat down there in North Carolina, when 262 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: we fail to put people away, what about the rights 263 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 3: of that poor girl to work her little job at 264 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 3: the pizza parlor and come home on the bus and 265 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: be able to look at her phone and then see 266 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 3: her mother. We care about their rights too. We care 267 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 3: about the citizens rights. We do care about the rights 268 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: of the accused. Yes, So you start to forfeit that 269 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 3: right after felony numbered like ten or somewhere, even a 270 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 3: little bit before that, you kind of forfeit that right. 271 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: You know, if you run around with a gun, if 272 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: you run around your community with a gun and you 273 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: got numerous felony convictions, you're on probation parole. And the 274 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: worst that happens to you when you shoot a bunch 275 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: of people is that you go in front of a 276 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: judge elected by the citizens of Hamlett County and that 277 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: judge works hard to get you free, to put you 278 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: back in the community. 279 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: To me, that's not rational. 280 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: In fact, it's rational to say that to hold someone 281 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: accountable for the criminal actions. Somehow that's unfair and it's 282 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: not political. Can I say enough? I wrote this down. 283 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: You said, not a working criminal justice system in Hambleton County. 284 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: We don't have it, and we used to have it 285 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: with Democrats in charge. The Democrats are in charge for 286 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: more than half a century here and we didn't have this. 287 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: But now we have large numbers of judges who do 288 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: not believe in putting people in jail for terrible criminal acts, 289 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: causing the inquir to write this story about safety lapses, 290 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: unkept promises, nine kids shot on one block. Imagine you 291 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: lived on one block in the West End you had 292 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: nine kids shot. 293 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be like a wake up call? 294 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: And why are the citizens in those areas but the 295 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: same democrats in charge? Why not put different democrats in 296 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: charge who might say, we're going to lock up criminals. 297 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: Why don't we have judges to hold people accountable? Well, 298 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: I can't come up with an adequate reason. When I 299 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: talked to the up you know, the Sharon Kennedy's the 300 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: Chief Justice, the Joe Leaders and Shanahans, their hands are 301 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: a little bit tied because they're saying each judge has 302 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: their own docket and they it's up to them to 303 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: administer justice. Is justice happening now in the in Cincinnati? 304 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,479 Speaker 1: Your answer, Dan Hills. 305 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: No, injustice is happening to the law abiding citizens of Cincinnati. 306 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: And it's changing forever Cincinnati's appearance, footprint, all those things. 307 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: People are running for the hills if you were, they're 308 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: running to the They're they're they're running to the outlying counties. 309 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 3: They're going to Kentucky, They're going whatever Warren County they recognize, 310 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 3: they're going to you. 311 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: You you left Cincinnati, you left us alone. 312 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 2: You went to Warren County. 313 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 3: I did I abandon it is But but Willie, it's 314 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: it's I'm not alone.
