WEBVTT - 11-21-25 Bill Cunningham Show 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.280 Bill cunning in the Great America. Welcome to Spotty acting 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:11.040 in the tri Stay. 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:12.800 What a weekend in River City. 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.880 Number one, We've got Joe Burrow likely playing quarterback against 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:20.479 the Patriots on Sunday. Tonight we got Elder versus the 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.200 Bombers of Saint Action. I would note that Rocky Boyman 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.640 once again took down the outer flag in my studio 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.560 and walked on it and then left. He's somewhere in 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.440 Alabama right now, but I'm supporting Elder one thousand percent. 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.320 Plus Tonight got the Louisville Cardinals playing the UC Bearcats 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.120 downtown at the Heritage Bank Center. Plus go all the 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.479 other stuff going on, including Saturday UC football. So it 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.760 doesn't get much better than that. Joining you and I 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.479 now is Speaker of the House, Matt Huffman. He's the 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:52.800 most powerful speaker since vern Rife. Vern Rife because Matt 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.880 Huffman was the President of the Senate and then he 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.600 did that for a while and guess what, now he's 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.840 a Speaker of the House. So, mister Speaker Matt Huffman, 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.840 welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Matt, first of all, 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.880 can you describe maybe in one or two paragraphs. What 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:12.160 the legislature has done with HEMP, marijuana, CBD, and THC. 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.240 Because it takes a degree in Chinese calculus to figure 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.680 out what you guys did late in the morning a 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:18.520 couple of days ago. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.680 What is the status as we speak. 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:25.520 Now, Well, we have the Houses approved a bill that 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.160 we've been working on all year, and that this came 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:32.080 out of a conference committee, Republican Senators and Reps voting 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:32.480 for that. 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:33.720 We approve that. 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.360 I'm nearly certain that the Senate will approve that here 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.360 in a few weeks. But it does the number of things. 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.200 I think some of the things that people immediately want 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.720 to know is that there's a number of public safety things. 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:54.080 So this prohibits public smoking and intoxication from marijuana. We're 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:58.520 going to prohibit marijuana products from using packaging or advertising 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.640 to attract children, which some of these folks are actually doing. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.680 Any ads have to be at all, have to be 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.679 five hundred feet away from schools. We're clear enough the 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:15.359 OBI prohibitions reducing the potency levels in marijuana, and so 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.799 those are all the And by the way, employers can 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.240 continue to prohibit marijuana at their own place that they 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.120 want to just landlords, employers, just like they would with 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.680 smoking or any other thing. So that's the public safety 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:33.160 part of it. We or at least through the end 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:38.640 of twenty six, will continue to allow beverages that have 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.120 THHC in it. And the reason we're doing that is 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.600 the federal government. As we went through this, the Feds 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.760 are always well, what are they doing? Right and kind 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.600 of right as we were coming to conclusions, they changed 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:55.639 the laws. So they allowed this really through November and 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.200 or prohibited it, and we think that they're going to 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.320 allow it. The folks who are manufacturing these beverages, and 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.280 some of them are you know, the same people who 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.600 are brewing beer and wine and things like that, will 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.640 continue to be allowed to do that all the way 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.520 through the end of twenty six. Will have to see 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.280 what the Feds are going to do. They have their 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.480 own timeline by the middle of November next year, so 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.840 that's you know, somewhat in the air, if you will. 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.560 But we've maintained the current the tax rate of ten percent. 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.760 What a lot of people are most interested in is 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.359 the thirty six percent of revenue from the marijuana excise tax, 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.200 which has been accumulating since the sale will now be 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.560 distributed to those communities that have dispensaries, so a lot 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.520 of local communities. There's about one hundred million dollars in 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.320 that fund right now, so a lot of money going 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.440 to local communities. And there is some relief for people 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:55.480 who previously had been convicted of a minor marijuana fence 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.280 in the past. There'll be an expungement of that. They 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.680 have to go in a plu with the court. A 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.760 number of other things in here, of course, but I 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:05.880 think those are the highlights. 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.360 Matt Huffman, speaker, The Ivory Towers and Columbus are different 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.640 than the mean streets of Loveland. I found myself last 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.880 night with the People's Judge and a few other couples 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.080 walking around Loveland, which, by the way, you went to 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.719 UC you' law school understand that it's a beautiful community. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.720 I can't tell you how many how much smoking marijuana 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.719 I smelt in downtown Loveland. When I go to Washington Park, 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:33.920 where my family have deep roots, every day there's large 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:38.560 numbers of people using drugs and smoking pot openly. So 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.119 it's one thing to say, as a speaker of the house, 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.640 we're gonna we're gonna bar smoking marijuana in public. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.960 In reality, it's happening all the time. And I would 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.080 assume in Ohio State and Columbus. I bet you can 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.440 walk around Columbus and people are smoking pot and nothing's happening. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.640 So how can there be such a disparity. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.640 Why, Well, even in the great city of Lima, that 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.160 is happening. And when I was an opening day with 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.800 my grandson, they're walking through Fountain Square and there are 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.480 people smoking marijuana. The reason why they're doing it right 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.320 now is because it's legal. Nope, the initiative that was 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.080 put on by the marijuana industry in November of twenty 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:18.520 three in past didn't prohibit the use of smoking marijuana 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.279 in public. This bill does, and so now people will 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:27.520 be fine, ticketed, they'll be guilty of violating the law. 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.240 We also cleaned up the OVI statutes and you know, 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.719 can't smoke your marijuana in your car and all of that. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:40.240 So there'll probably be a little up. People have to 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.880 figure out here real quickly that hey, I've been smoking 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.800 marijuana for two years, what do you mean I'm not 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.839 allowed to do that. Well, we've changed the law and 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.960 here's a ticket if you do it again, and all 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:50.640 that kind of thing. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.400 Enforce the law, because in Cincinnati, they're not going to 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.480 enforce that law. They're not Mayri Afta Pureval has told 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:03.400 the police he didn't want to see marijuana convictions. 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:04.039 He don't want that. 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.960 And so you can say one thing, but what do 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.240 you do if the mayor and the police don't enforce 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:09.600 the law. 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.400 Well, if you've got a mayor who won't enforce the law, 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.480 who's taken an oath to faithfully execute the laws of 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.640 the United State Constitution. In the state of Ohio, you 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.840 got a mayor who's violating the law, and the voters 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.200 need to make a decision about that. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.520 He got eighty three percent of the vote. 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.200 If I get that, I get that. But a guy 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.320 who looks at everybody and says I'm not going to 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.159 follow the law, I'm not sure how much longer you 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:36.799 can be mayor. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.840 If you're saying that, I'm sure. 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.960 I would assume he might get eighty five percent of 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.840 the vote the next time. Nonetheless, maybe you can pass 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.640 the law, but you know, if the lawmakers don't, if 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.240 the enforcers don't want to do it, that's a different issue. 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:53.520 Real estate taxes. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.919 Tell me what you did about lowering real estate taxes, 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:57.960 which is a big issue here in Hamlet County. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.080 Yeah, so we passed we had passed one bill or 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:06.599 several provisions in the budget, and Governor de wine Vita 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.800 some of those we have overridden one of those vetos. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.160 The others we don't have to address because they've now 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:18.400 been been through the Governor's Discovery Committee there he wanted 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.840 to think about it a little bit longer, and basically 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.720 that that commission recommended that we do the things the 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:24.720 governor vetoed. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:25.880 So we're happy about that. 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.960 So there are four bills passed, and you know, one 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.560 of those, I think the most important of those is 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:41.080 the cap on inflate inflation. If what we have right 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:45.560 now bill is a series of folks who they're retired, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.520 their incomes steady because they're on pension or Social Security. 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.920 They lived in the same house for forty years and 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.360 they're getting a twenty or fifty percent increase and all 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:56.600 of a sudden, it's like, well, how am I going 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.600 to pay that? And so there are inflation caps on 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.960 how much real estate taxes will go up. So that's 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:09.120 the cap. Also on the inside millage increase to inflation. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.560 This is going to save about seven hundred million dollars 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.480 in property tax relief. 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:14.240 Over three years. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.520 Okay, so that's very important part of it. We have 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.720 one of the things that happened with it local entities, 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.480 school districts, in particular, the twenty mil floor and what 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.120 you collect that determines how much money you get from 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:34.240 the state. Well, we are now going to count the emergency, 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.560 the renewal, the replacement, all of those things which are 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.400 very confusing to voters, count towards the twenty mil floor 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:45.080 to show how much money you really have, including income 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.800 tax levies, so it's clearer how wealthy a local school 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.200 district is. I think the most important part of this 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.920 is that we have now empowered your local budget commission 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.360 to reduce the amount of money that is being taken 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.760 from taxpayers. If a levee that goes on is collecting 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.160 more money than the levee was intended to collect. Because 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.240 right now it's like we're gonna put on this for 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.880 three years, we're gonna collect five million dollars and we 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.080 collected ten million dollars. Well, the antity's just keeping the money. 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.720 But your local budget Commission, which is made up of 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.640 your auditor and your treasurer and prosecuting attorney. In most cases, 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.280 those elected officials are going to have to make those decisions. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.080 You know, we all want our local governments to be 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.360 properly funded, but they shouldn't be taking more money than 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.800 what they need and what was intended. So those are 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.600 those are kind of the highlights. But we have a 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.280 you know, on our website in the House and you 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.079 can go through and see these in detail. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.800 Lastly, there's a headline out of Columbus Ohio Conservatives that 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.480 means you vote to change what students learn in the classroom. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.440 The cultural wars are coming to Ohio. A lot of 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.920 Democrats are unhappy about this, but according to media accounts, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.880 as the Speaker of the House, if you passed several 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.240 bills a couple of days ago that could order how 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.000 students learn from fetal development all the way through Christian 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.800 influence on history. Democrats say the changes are culture war 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.840 distractions from the needs of average Ohioans. Is it is 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.800 ridiculous how little public school kids, in private school kids 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.480 know about americanustory, Ohio history. They don't know where we 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.640 came from, they don't know the principles of the founding 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.200 of the country. What did you do to instruct public 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.160 schools what they have to teach, which the Democrats are 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:29.760 angry about. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.040 Well, there are two things. One is, there is a 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.640 bill spent sponsored by Melanie Miller, State rep out of 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:44.720 Madina County, who basically it's we would like the students 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:50.240 to see how a human fetus develops during pregnancy. Now, 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:54.760 you know, if I think that's an important thing, and 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.360 I think that if people see that, they may have 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.400 different ideas about whether to go through with an abortion 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.439 or not. And I understand there's a constitutional amendment that 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:09.920 allows that in almost every circumstance. But more knowledge, more 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.160 understanding about something is always good, and people who don't 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.240 want kids to see that really need to question what 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.679 is it that? What is it We don't want people 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.679 to know more, We don't want people to see things. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.480 That's ridiculous, right. The second bill that they're angry about 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:32.760 is a bill that doesn't require, but encourages and allows 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:38.400 the teaching of the history of religion in the United States, 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.760 including Christianity, but not just Christianity, because that's not we're 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.120 largely a Judeo Christian country. We have a lot of 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.600 other religions, and a lot of that is teaching about 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.960 religious persecution. It's also teaching about the fact that our 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:57.400 founding fathers, as it says in our founding documents, we're 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.720 relying on the providence of God in making sure that 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.520 our endeavors go forward. But teaching religion has an important 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:10.920 bedrock in our society, in our American society. People who 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.960 want a white religion out of the public square correct 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.960 have a very poor understanding of why it is we're 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.160 all standing here and why this is, you know, the 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.880 most successful and greatest country in the world. It is 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.400 a bedrock or religion. And by the way, if you're 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.760 an atheist, you don't have to believe all that stuff 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.960 if you want, in fact, you can look at your 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:32.920 the teacher and say, I don't want. 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:33.800 My kid listening to that. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:39.400 So it's it's it's only a culture war because someone's 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.240 calling it a culture war. These are things that we 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:46.880 all know and believe in, and so you know that's 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.480 it gets a headline. That's one reason why I've said. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:54.280 Now, human life begins a conception, and you can't change biology. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.800 And it's not a collection of cells, it's a human being. 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.479 I love the presentation of Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.040 and when they had some pro abortion doctors, they are 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.840 talking about some aspect of the human life, and he 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.520 held up a photo, a picture of a ten week 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.160 old baby, ten week old fetus with a beating heart 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.080 and brain activities and human organs, and ask, how do 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.400 you exact this ten week old fetus from a human body. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.599 And it's dismemberment of a baby, which ought to be illegal, 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.480 however it's now acceptable. And many young women believe, I 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.600 don't know what a fetus is. It's not a human being. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.760 But take a look at picture of this fetus and 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.000 tell me this is not a human being. Then also, 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.440 House Billed four eighty six would encourage public schools to 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:40.120 teach the positive historical impact of Jeneo Christian values and 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.959 the freedoms and liberties and grained in American culture. It's 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.240 called the Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act. And the Left 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.560 is in the business now of smearing Charlie Kirk, calling 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.360 him a racist and all that kind of stuff. But 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.839 to teach kids about how America was formed by the 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.160 Geneo Christian principles, why it was formed why the thirteen 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:02.439 colonies who were separate state steparate got together as the 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.840 United States. How we develop is a culture, what it means, 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.520 and the fact that human life begins a conception, And 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.400 if anyone has a doubt, take a picture of a 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.280 fetus that's about six weeks old. 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:13.920 And tell me that's not a human being. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.719 But the culture today tells us that Charlie Kirk is 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.640 a racist, Charlie Kirk is a Nazi. And by the way, 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.080 life doesn't really begin until the baby exit the body 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.720 of a woman. It is a woman that has a 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.800 baby and not a man, by the way, and that 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.720 somehow our culture devalues human life. There's a million abortions 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.360 every year of babies that are killed in the womb 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.920 by dismemberment. Described that, and then public schools teaching on 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.560 American history is not a bad thing. It's a good thing. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.880 You know what I'm saying, mister speaker. You got me 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.040 all fired up right now? 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.000 Well yeah, well, look, I wish I could be as 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.840 eloquent as Bill Cunningham. I never will be, but that's okay. Look, 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:57.520 one of the things about the Jugeneo Christian tradition is 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:02.280 that it's tolerant of other religions. Muslims in the United 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:06.720 States have more freedoms than they do in most Muslim countries. Okay, 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:12.400 a lot of other classes of individuals, people in different communities. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.960 They wouldn't be tolerated in other countries that are dominated 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.680 by the Muslim religion. But in the United States. That's 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.760 why it's a great country. Everybody gets to do what 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.880 they want. And you know, with the passage of this 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:31.320 constitutional amendment in Ohio essentially allowing abortion almost at any time, 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.000 what we have to do, those of us in the 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.200 pro life movement have to do things to win the 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:45.120 hearts and minds of people that are contemplating this. And 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.520 part of this is winning the mind of someone who 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.320 may someday contemplate abortion. If someone has an unwanted pregnancy, 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.440 sometimes there's people encouraging them to get abortions because they 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:01.240 don't want embarrassment. They may remember this video that they 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.720 saw when they were a sophomore in high school to say, 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.760 let me think about that and so and you know, 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:13.520 so people who don't want the public educated simply don't 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.400 you know, aren't interested in talking about the truth. We 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.600 know what's in the Constitution, that's the truth. And we 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.520 know that we have to have other ways of winning 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.160 hearts and minds, and this is one way. 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.480 Speaker, Matt Hoffman, you work on the shoes of vern Riife, 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.520 the most powerful speaker of all time. And mothers should 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.120 not kill their babies, and we're going to only be 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.760 blessed politically. I guess Ryan's not going to run for 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.400 the governor's spot. I think Amy Acton is going to 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.400 be the obvious person to run, and she's lied about 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.400 her background, so you're going to wrap her arms around 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.080 Ohio and it just hug us to death with the 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.640 COVID restrictions. I think favek Ramaswami would be blessed to 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.520 run against Amy Actin. That's a different story. But once again, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.280 mister speaker, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.680 And we're reporting back to the American people what's happening 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.840 in Columbus. Thank you, Matt. Thanks Bill, God bless America. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.040 Let's continue with more mothers. Do not kill your babies, 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:10.200 do not dismember your babies. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:16.560 hundred WW all right, Dave Keaton, hit the music, Please 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.240 hit the music. What a big weekend in the Tri State. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.399 This is why we are better, This is why we 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.200 are unique. Tonight, of course, is the Louisville Cardinals teeing 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:30.200 it up against the UC Bearcats average Bank Arena. Also, 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.040 he may know tonight there's a little football game at 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.480 pay Corps with Elder versus Saint X. I would point 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.199 the story and must be told as to how this 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.040 came about. Beginning on Monday morning. I get here about 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:47.760 ten thirty am every day to prepare and Brian Combs 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.159 walks out of the newsroom and says, I can't believe 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.040 that none of the elder students can even get a 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.440 ticket of the game. I said, wait, talking about He said, well, 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:59.080 the OHSAA put the game in Mason to benefit the 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:03.560 Mason Highschool girls wrestling team. I wasn't sure that was 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.720 a thing, but that's another story. We'll talk about that 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.040 later on. And I said, what what happened? He said, well, 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.720 they have it at Mason High School and now all 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.560 the tickets are gone in the first hour or two. 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.639 The students at Elder and Saint X are still in school. 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.680 They can't even get tickets. I said, you got to 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.280 be kidding me. So I came into the studio and 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:25.119 I and I called Denise Treehouse, chair of the Hamlet 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.200 County Board of County Commissioners, who is very receptive. On 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:33.760 my call, she's she texted back, saym in a meeting, Willie, 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.840 what's going on? I texted her saying, you know, Denise, 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.000 can we get paid course stadium to host the game 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.959 on Friday night between Elder and Saint X. 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:44.560 She says, what are you talking about? 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.560 I texted her back, okay, and then she said and 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.200 then she called me and said, let me call Katie 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:50.040 Blackburn Brown. 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:51.280 I said, sounds good. 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.439 I said, it's got to be done today because it 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.320 becomes Tuesday, Wednesday. Guess what Friday will be here in 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.919 a heartbeat, it won't happen. And all the Elder students 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.960 and the Dreehouses carried deeply about Elber and of course 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.600 Rocky Borman cares deeply about Saint X, and I care 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.120 about America. So conversations are head back and forth, back 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.600 and forth. I try to get her on at two 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.159 or three o'clock. She can't come on because she's working 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.560 on this plus other difficulties. Long in the short that 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.040 she texted me back and said we got it done, 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.399 I said, wonderful. Then she went on with Rocky in 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.960 eighty about four o'clock on Monday. It might have been Tuesday, 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.439 but whatever, And it's going to happen. And right now 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.840 they've sold I think about thirty thousand tickets and the 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.679 whole bottom bowl of the stadium is going to be filled. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.560 And as a kid that played high school and college 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:43.080 baseball at Crosley Field, there's no greater thrill, as Adam 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.919 Matthews talked about when he went to Saint X of 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.400 walking into a major league facility as a high school 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.639 kid and playing a game, and with all due respect 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:53.920 to Knippert, which would be a fabulous arena for high 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.760 school football. There's something special about playing on the field 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:00.720 where the Bengals are playing Sunday against the That's a 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.879 big deal. And so that's how it developed. And of 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:07.760 course the Shakers and Movers here or Denise Treehouse and 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.200 the Katie Blackburn Brown OHSAA. And left to the side 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:15.879 is the girls Mason High School wrestling team. I'm told 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.720 by the Mason faithful that the girls there on the 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.840 wrestling team. I didn't think wrestling among girls in high 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.359 school was a big deal. Only wrestling I did in 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.160 high school was with Penny in the backseat of twin 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.040 drive in movie theaters. That's a different story. So I 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.399 guess it's a thing. And I've had on State Girls 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.360 Champion wrestling. I said, great, and so it's a thing. 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.359 So they took up the idea of having Mason High School, 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.400 which is going to host the big game between Saint 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.960 xan An Elder, and they were going to handle the security. 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.280 The concessions make a lot of money, and they need 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.720 money for mats, they need money for uniforms, need money 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:51.639 for whatever, girls need money for when they wrestle. So 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.760 now they're out in the dark. So I hope maybe 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.800 a city council and Mason can do something to help 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.280 the Mason High School girls wrestling team. For every action 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.119 is an equal reaction. The reaction is they're not happy 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.280 about losing the game and losing their funding for the 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:11.200 next year or two of girls wrestling. But I regress. 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.040 So the game is game is happening. Rocky Boyman sand 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.080 X's Finest Who's by the way, is in Alabama right now, 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.040 University of Alabama, Crimson Tide. He's going to do their 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:24.480 game on ESPN, I guess on Saturday. I have an 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:27.439 Elder flag that's been hung up in my studio for 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.119 three years. It was given to me by the Elder 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:34.320 Faithful John Kraft and the coach Ramsey and others for 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:36.800 my support of Elder. I've spoken to the boys before 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:40.200 and it's the one hundredth plaque says Willie's a panther. 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:43.840 So Rocky Boyman took it down and stepped on it 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:49.320 Wednesday Thursday, I should notify Elder the disrespect that X 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.840
