1
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: By Billy cunning in the Great America. Lots of big

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: things happening at Columbus and elsewhere. And of course Representative

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Adam Byrd is in leadership of the House, and Adam

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: Byrd welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: of all, before we get off on these important issues,

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: once again, Cincinnati head at the Privy Bar and over

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: the run at Elm Street. Another mass shooting. Dozens of

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: shots fired. I think three or four people were wound it.

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: Fortunately everyone's got a bad shot. They made it to

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: the hospitals alive. Cincinnati this year is going to have

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: something like twenty to twenty five thousand shots fired. We're

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna have four to five hundred people wound it. We're

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: gonna have about one hundred people killed. The mayor is

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: firing the chief of police because she refuses to follow

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: supposedly his orders, causing the mayhem. We got all hell

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: breaking loose. So I ask you this question. We have

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: eight large cities in Ohio, so to speak, and the

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: three largest wins the three seas Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: are fully part of the far left Radical Democratic Party,

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: which is to fund the police, make it difficult to

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: arrest anybody for any offense. Don't pull over people committing

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: traffic violations. And if guns are being used repeatedly, blame

23
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: some inanimate metal object called a gun, and don't blame

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: the perpetrator. We have soft judges all over the major

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: cities in this country, and much as I've said Adam

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: Bird around the country, we can't have a great nation

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: if every major American city is in collapse. Well, you

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: can't send your kids to school. The school systems think

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: the judges are freeing criminals like the ones in Chicago

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: who set the poor woman on fire. He was arrested

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: seventy two times, convicted forty nine times. He's fifty years old,

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: setting subway riders on fire. We have la which is

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: in total economic collapse, and New York City just elected

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: a communists. Put all that together other Can America be

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: a great nation when our cities are in collapse? And

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: can Ohio be a great state with Columbus Cleveland, Cincinnati?

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: What do you say, hey, Bill, It's a wonderful to

38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: be on your program, It's an honor to be on

39
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: your program, and that that question continues to come up

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: over the last decade, as we've seen the degradation of

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: our cities and and so yeah, it's really said, Bill,

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: because you and I love Cincinnati. We've been from this

43
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: area the since that even though we don't live in

44
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: downtown Cincinnati, it's the hub of so many things. It's

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: where our Bengals and Reds play, it's where the air

46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: and off Broadway shows are. There's so many great things

47
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: happening downtown. And it's to say it that that people

48
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: don't feel confident to go downtown and it's affecting the

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: businesses downtown that that people from Claremont, Butler and Warren

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: County don't want to go down there anymore. But can

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: we be great? You know in Ohio? You know, I

52
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: think we can because you know, we're we're trying as

53
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: a state legislature to make sure that laws are applicable

54
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: to every everywhere that you might live in the state

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: of Ohio. Although all we do is create law, built

56
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: that's somebody who's a mayor or you know, somebody in

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: an executive branch has actually enforceable laws that we lay down.

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: And in fact, I had on the other day the

59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House, Matt Huffman, about marijuana. We got

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: all these fancy laws about you can't smoke marijuana and

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: public can't smoke in your car, you can't have a

62
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: cheech and shong event happening. But walking around Cincinnati you

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: smell marijuana everywhere. I was in Loveland at a very

64
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: fine restaurant there having a little bit of salmon and

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: marijuana is waffling all over downtown Loveland as if it's permissible.

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: And you pass these laws in marijuana. In fact, as

67
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: I said here, I don't know what the laws are

68
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: on CBD and infused drinks. I know what you passed

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: that you're going to look out at maybe a year

70
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: from December to see what the Feds do. But we

71
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: have ubiquitous marijuana use, ubiquitous CBD and THC use of

72
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: infused cans of beverages that have in tox against them.

73
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: The kids and still buy right now, and the ponykegs,

74
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: et cetera. And we have nail now. We have money

75
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: coming to high school sports. I can't imagine what the

76
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: quarterback of Saint X Fry could get on the open market.

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: X Rocky Boorman is going to have to start paying money.

78
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: Everywhere I look, I see opportunities where America is going

79
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: the wrong direction. And for those who believe that marijuana

80
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: is wrong, it's an intoxicant. It's a sketel one narcotic

81
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: according to the FEDS, similar to cocaine and heroin and methanphetamine.

82
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: How do you respond to a father living in Kenton

83
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: County or Butler County, or Warren County or Clamont County

84
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: that is this not happy with the fact that you

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: legislators are approving more ubiquitous marijuana THHC used through beverages

86
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: and through more uses of intoxicating drugs. How do you

87
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: respond to Ohio making legal in a large sense a

88
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: skeltu one narcotic described by the Feds. How do you

89
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: respond to that? Out of bird, I'll put you on

90
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: the spot, you know, how do you respond to that?

91
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: Well, we're the bill, which, by the way, bill is

92
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: still awaiting the signature of your friend and mine, Governor

93
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: de Wine. He's got to sign the bill. And as

94
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: soon as he signs the bill, it'll be ninety days

95
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: until it becomes effective. So we need him to sign

96
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: it yesterday and get that clock ticking. And this bill

97
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: would not permit what's going on for you in downtown

98
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: Loveland the other night. And as soon as that bill

99
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: becomes law, I have full faith and confidence that Chris Stratton,

100
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: the Claremont County Sheriff, he would enforce the law. He's

101
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: not going to allow that kind of thing to happen

102
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: in Loveland or anywhere in Clairemont County. And I suspect

103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: the other sheriffs we'll do that as well. And so

104
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: you also talked about NIL bill. This is not the

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: work of the state legislature. This NIL stuff is the

106
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: work of OHSAA in Ohio, and it's got fraud and

107
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: problems written all over it. You and I know that

108
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 2: NIL has caused so many problems at the college level.

109
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: Why in the world would want this to happen at

110
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: the high school level. And what I would say to

111
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 2: that bill is stay tuned. There may be a bill

112
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: coming soon that would prohibit NIOL in Ohio.

113
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see what happens. You know, we get the

114
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: government we deserve. And I know many of the large

115
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: companies in downtown Cincinnati, the Kroger's, the Fifth Third Banks,

116
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: the p and Gs, Procter and Gambles is grossly expanding

117
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: their footprint in Mason. They kind of want to get

118
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: out of Dodge. Their employees are saying, it's not safe

119
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: down here. We don't want to be down here. We

120
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: want to get out. And Kroger is a large multinational

121
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: company worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but it's not

122
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: run by Cincinnatians anymore. Procter and Gambles not run by

123
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: Cincinnatians anymore. And we need a multifaceted approach to this.

124
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: Can you briefly tell the American people, Adam Bird, as

125
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: we sit here Monday afternoon, what is the status of

126
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: CBD infused THC drinks in the state of Ohio. If

127
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: Tony Bender after work wants to go somewhere and get

128
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: some can that intoxicating beverages in a can, what is

129
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: the status of law as we speak this Monday afternoon,

130
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: No change bill.

131
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: They're they're still permitted and and so we're we're definitely

132
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: taking a back seat and waiting for the federal government.

133
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: They have indicated that they are opposed to this and

134
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: that they're going to do something about it, and and

135
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: so yeah, these are really dangerous and and you know,

136
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: we should, uh, we should be limiting their use to adults.

137
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: We should be limiting the amount of of THC amount

138
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: that's in the drink. And so this all has to

139
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: be taken care of. And and yet it doesn't make

140
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: me feel good. But we're waiting for signals from the

141
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: from the federal government, and perhaps those signals are a

142
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: little mixed right now. But but we need to take

143
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: care of that.

144
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: Well, when I speak to my favorite US senators, they

145
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: tell me there's no appetite in Washington to touch it

146
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: at all. That there's a large group of lawmakers who

147
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: don't like marijuana period. There's another group who loves it,

148
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: thinks is almost religious experiance. Then there's another group that says, well,

149
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: let's have it, but limit it. And just to make

150
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: it a Schedule one, there's Schedule three would require the

151
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Congress to act, and they're stimy. They're not going to

152
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: act at all. You can't look at Washington for guidance

153
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 1: on anything. So the states are on their own. About

154
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: thirty seven states allow marijuana and the other thirteen do not.

155
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: And maybe that's the answer of federal system. Kind of

156
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: let the let the states run it now. Secondly, you

157
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: and many others were involved in the reapportionment about a

158
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: week or two ago. Explain where we are now with

159
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: the districts. I'm thinking about Southwest Ohio, the one held

160
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: by Landsman. What's the status of that? And since the

161
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Democrats agreed, isn't it Isn't it like chisel and stone

162
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: at this point?

163
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, when the Democrats agree on this, Willie,

164
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: you can't call it Gary mandering. They want to have

165
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: it both ways. They want to vote yes on it

166
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: and call it gairymandering. You can't have it both ways.

167
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: And so when you look at that seat, it's got

168
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 2: Green Township added to that seat, You've got Harrison added.

169
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: Those are reliably red areas. The reliably blue areas of

170
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: Hamberley Village have been taken out, and the really red,

171
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: reliable red area Clinton County has been added. Bill. This

172
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: is going to be very competitive. I think that Republicans

173
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: have a great shot at this, and we need more

174
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: Republicans in Washington, DC right now, so this is a

175
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: big step for Ohio. We've also made changes to the

176
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: Marcy Capture seat in the Toledo area, that is that's

177
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: going to have a Republican I am very much anticipating

178
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: twelve Republicans out of fifteen going to Congress from the

179
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: state of Ohio here in a year be will.

180
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: What do you say to Americans angry about property taxes

181
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: because some older folks, especially on a fixed income, are

182
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: being priced out of their homes by property tax increases.

183
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: What do you say to them?

184
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, this is certainly a big issue. And so

185
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: when you look at what we did, we passed four

186
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: bills last week, will it's unprecedented and consequential, the amount

187
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: of change and reform that we brought some property taxes

188
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: in Ohio. And that's part of the reason why places

189
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: like Kroger and others P and G are leading downtown

190
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 2: Cincinnati because of the tax structure structure income tax, sales tax,

191
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: property tax. They want out of places that's going to

192
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: tax them into oblivion. And so when you look at

193
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: these bills that we passed last week, the one that's

194
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: really important, though there's a couple of them, they limit

195
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: the tax growth property tax growth to the rate of inflation.

196
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: And here's one that not everybody knows about, Willie. We

197
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: are transferring money from the credit that we give to

198
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: the non business credit to owner occupied credit, which means

199
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: that if you live in the home that you are

200
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: paying taxes on, you actually live there, you're going to

201
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: go from two and a half percent credit on your

202
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: property taxes to fifteen percent. That is a huge jump, Willie,

203
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: and I think property tax pay who live in their

204
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: home are really going to feel something positive for them

205
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: in the next year.

206
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: Now say that again, because a guy like me, I

207
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: lived in my same house for twenty five years. I'm

208
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: a senior citizen on a fixed income. You know what

209
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I can't make any more money than I make.

210
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: So does this benefit a poor man like me?

211
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely so. Right now, you're the owner occupied credit in

212
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: Ohio is two and a half percent. You're getting a

213
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: two and a half percent of your property taxes is

214
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: paid by the state of Ohio for you. Well, over

215
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: four years, we are going to up that from two

216
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: and a half percent. We're going to gradually, over four

217
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: years up back to fifteen percent. That state to Ohio

218
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: is going to pay your property tax for you.

219
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: I like that. I'm starting to believe in government all

220
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden.

221
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: All right, you go now too, we finally did something good.

222
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: Something good. Then thank you for coming on to clarify

223
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: everything and nothing THC. I think if an adult wants

224
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: they have an adult beverage at home and as THC

225
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: in and I say, hey, I'm at it. I don't

226
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: like the idea that people can walk around and smoke pot.

227
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea that teenage boys and go

228
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: into a ponykeg and buy some of these beverages with

229
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: high THHC content and they're intoxicating. I don't like that

230
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: at all. I don't like the fact that the high

231
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: school kids can now get Niel money. I don't know

232
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: what Fry's worth. Its saying that's probably a lot of money.

233
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't like a lot of aspects of

234
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: our life, but at least we try to govern our

235
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: own affairs. I have a long term concern that our

236
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: major cities are in complete collapse economically, religiously, educationally, and

237
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: until that changes, we can't be a great state or

238
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: a great nation when all of our major cities are

239
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: in collapse with crime, rampant drug use, homelessness. The homeless

240
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: camps are back in Cincinnati. I think it's a problem.

241
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: But Adam Bird, good luck in New Richmond.

242
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, thank you well. I was going to say,

243
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: Willie that this is the reason why places like Claremont, Butler,

244
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: and Warren are growing in population counties around Columbus, like

245
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: Pickaway and Union in Delaware County, they're growing because people

246
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: are fleeing Democrat policies and it's a big problem. And

247
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: so will I just you know, last week it was

248
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: a huge week in the state legislature. I mean, we

249
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 2: passed a bill last week it said no more turning in,

250
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: no more counting, have some key ballots after election day.

251
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: We increase the penalties for drug and human trafficking. We

252
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: require sex offenders to move away from their victim. We're

253
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: not going to allow mail order abortion pills anymore. We're

254
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: going to protect our prison guards better. And then also

255
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: if you're pulled over with probable cause, you've got to

256
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: turn over your driver's license really to the police officer.

257
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: So we're going to create and protect law and order

258
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 2: in Ohio. And we're for the people, and we want

259
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: to protect people, and we want to make Ohio a

260
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: great place to live.

261
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: We have islands of debauchery inside of a sea of tranquility.

262
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: We have the Blue Cities floating into a sea of tranquility,

263
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: and hopefully the voters in these areas have got to

264
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: understand what the results of their elections are. I can't

265
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: imagine Mayor Peer of All getting eighty one percent of

266
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: the vote, down from eighty three percent of the vote.

267
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: After his performance in office, the voters held him to

268
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: account from eighty three to eighty one percent, electing all

269
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: the same goofballs, the goofs who ran city council, the

270
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: same goofs are in charge once again. Adam Bird, I'm

271
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: coming to Claremont County. I love that new Mexican restaurant

272
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: kind of on the river. I like that place. And

273
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: you and I get together, maybe have a margarita one

274
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: day when they get two straws and suck it up together.

275
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: What do you think you've come to Claremont County anytime? Willie?

276
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: And New Richmond's a great place. He's got some good

277
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: restaurants down there. And you know, I'm just saying, Willie,

278
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: if you're going to let more and more people leave

279
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: the hellhole of Cincinnati, please don't let him bring their

280
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: politics with them to Claremont. Brown, Claremont and Brown and

281
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: Butler and Warren, don't let them move out. Here if

282
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 2: they're going to bring the stuff that that's created problem

283
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: where they currently live.

284
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: City Council or a bunch of goofs. All right, Tony

285
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Tony Bender said enough is enough. Let's continue. Adam Bird,

286
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: you're the man. God bless you, and God bless Claremont County.

287
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, Adam Bird. Keep doing what you're doing. Honor

288
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: to be with you, Bill, God bless America. City Council

289
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: or a bunch of goofs Bill Cunningham seven hundred WLW
