WEBVTT - 11-24-25 Willie with Adam Bird

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>By Billy cunning in the Great America. Lots of big

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>things happening at Columbus and elsewhere. And of course Representative

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Adam Byrd is in leadership of the House, and Adam

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Byrd welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>of all, before we get off on these important issues,

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>once again, Cincinnati head at the Privy Bar and over

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the run at Elm Street. Another mass shooting. Dozens of

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>shots fired. I think three or four people were wound it.

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Fortunately everyone's got a bad shot. They made it to

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the hospitals alive. Cincinnati this year is going to have

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>something like twenty to twenty five thousand shots fired. We're

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna have four to five hundred people wound it. We're

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna have about one hundred people killed. The mayor is

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>firing the chief of police because she refuses to follow

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>supposedly his orders, causing the mayhem. We got all hell

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>breaking loose. So I ask you this question. We have

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>eight large cities in Ohio, so to speak, and the

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>three largest wins the three seas Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>are fully part of the far left Radical Democratic Party,

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>which is to fund the police, make it difficult to

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>arrest anybody for any offense. Don't pull over people committing

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>traffic violations. And if guns are being used repeatedly, blame

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>some inanimate metal object called a gun, and don't blame

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the perpetrator. We have soft judges all over the major

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 1>cities in this country, and much as I've said Adam

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Bird around the country, we can't have a great nation

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>if every major American city is in collapse. Well, you

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>can't send your kids to school. The school systems think

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the judges are freeing criminals like the ones in Chicago

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>who set the poor woman on fire. He was arrested

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>seventy two times, convicted forty nine times. He's fifty years old,

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>setting subway riders on fire. We have la which is

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>in total economic collapse, and New York City just elected

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>a communists. Put all that together other Can America be

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a great nation when our cities are in collapse? And

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>can Ohio be a great state with Columbus Cleveland, Cincinnati?

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>What do you say, hey, Bill, It's a wonderful to

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 2>be on your program, It's an honor to be on

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 2>your program, and that that question continues to come up

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 2>over the last decade, as we've seen the degradation of

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>our cities and and so yeah, it's really said, Bill,

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 2>because you and I love Cincinnati. We've been from this

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 2>area the since that even though we don't live in

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>downtown Cincinnati, it's the hub of so many things. It's

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 2>where our Bengals and Reds play, it's where the air

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>and off Broadway shows are. There's so many great things

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>happening downtown. And it's to say it that that people

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>don't feel confident to go downtown and it's affecting the

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>businesses downtown that that people from Claremont, Butler and Warren

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>County don't want to go down there anymore. But can

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>we be great? You know in Ohio? You know, I

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 2>think we can because you know, we're we're trying as

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 2>a state legislature to make sure that laws are applicable

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 2>to every everywhere that you might live in the state

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>of Ohio. Although all we do is create law, built

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>that's somebody who's a mayor or you know, somebody in

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>an executive branch has actually enforceable laws that we lay down.

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>And in fact, I had on the other day the

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Speaker of the House, Matt Huffman, about marijuana. We got

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>all these fancy laws about you can't smoke marijuana and

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 1>public can't smoke in your car, you can't have a

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>cheech and shong event happening. But walking around Cincinnati you

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>smell marijuana everywhere. I was in Loveland at a very

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>fine restaurant there having a little bit of salmon and

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>marijuana is waffling all over downtown Loveland as if it's permissible.

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>And you pass these laws in marijuana. In fact, as

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I said here, I don't know what the laws are

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>on CBD and infused drinks. I know what you passed

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to look out at maybe a year

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>from December to see what the Feds do. But we

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>have ubiquitous marijuana use, ubiquitous CBD and THC use of

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>infused cans of beverages that have in tox against them.

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 1>The kids and still buy right now, and the ponykegs,

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. And we have nail now. We have money

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>coming to high school sports. I can't imagine what the

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>quarterback of Saint X Fry could get on the open market.

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>X Rocky Boorman is going to have to start paying money.

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Everywhere I look, I see opportunities where America is going

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the wrong direction. And for those who believe that marijuana

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>is wrong, it's an intoxicant. It's a sketel one narcotic

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>according to the FEDS, similar to cocaine and heroin and methanphetamine.

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>How do you respond to a father living in Kenton

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>County or Butler County, or Warren County or Clamont County

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>that is this not happy with the fact that you

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>legislators are approving more ubiquitous marijuana THHC used through beverages

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and through more uses of intoxicating drugs. How do you

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.359
<v Speaker 1>respond to Ohio making legal in a large sense a

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 1>skeltu one narcotic described by the Feds. How do you

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 1>respond to that? Out of bird, I'll put you on

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 1>the spot, you know, how do you respond to that?

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're the bill, which, by the way, bill is

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 2>still awaiting the signature of your friend and mine, Governor

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>de Wine. He's got to sign the bill. And as

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 2>soon as he signs the bill, it'll be ninety days

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>until it becomes effective. So we need him to sign

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 2>it yesterday and get that clock ticking. And this bill

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 2>would not permit what's going on for you in downtown

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Loveland the other night. And as soon as that bill

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>becomes law, I have full faith and confidence that Chris Stratton,

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>the Claremont County Sheriff, he would enforce the law. He's

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>not going to allow that kind of thing to happen

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>in Loveland or anywhere in Clairemont County. And I suspect

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 2>the other sheriffs we'll do that as well. And so

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you also talked about NIL bill. This is not the

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>work of the state legislature. This NIL stuff is the

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 2>work of OHSAA in Ohio, and it's got fraud and

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 2>problems written all over it. You and I know that

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 2>NIL has caused so many problems at the college level.

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Why in the world would want this to happen at

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 2>the high school level. And what I would say to

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.239
<v Speaker 2>that bill is stay tuned. There may be a bill

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 2>coming soon that would prohibit NIOL in Ohio.

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, we'll see what happens. You know, we get the

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>government we deserve. And I know many of the large

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 1>companies in downtown Cincinnati, the Kroger's, the Fifth Third Banks,

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the p and Gs, Procter and Gambles is grossly expanding

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>their footprint in Mason. They kind of want to get

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>out of Dodge. Their employees are saying, it's not safe

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>down here. We don't want to be down here. We

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>want to get out. And Kroger is a large multinational

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>company worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but it's not

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>run by Cincinnatians anymore. Procter and Gambles not run by

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnatians anymore. And we need a multifaceted approach to this.

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Can you briefly tell the American people, Adam Bird, as

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>we sit here Monday afternoon, what is the status of

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>CBD infused THC drinks in the state of Ohio. If

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Tony Bender after work wants to go somewhere and get

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 1>some can that intoxicating beverages in a can, what is

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the status of law as we speak this Monday afternoon,

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>No change bill.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>They're they're still permitted and and so we're we're definitely

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 2>taking a back seat and waiting for the federal government.

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 2>They have indicated that they are opposed to this and

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>that they're going to do something about it, and and

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, these are really dangerous and and you know,

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 2>we should, uh, we should be limiting their use to adults.

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>We should be limiting the amount of of THC amount

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 2>that's in the drink. And so this all has to

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 2>be taken care of. And and yet it doesn't make

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 2>me feel good. But we're waiting for signals from the

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 2>from the federal government, and perhaps those signals are a

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 2>little mixed right now. But but we need to take

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>care of that.

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, when I speak to my favorite US senators, they

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>tell me there's no appetite in Washington to touch it

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>at all. That there's a large group of lawmakers who

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>don't like marijuana period. There's another group who loves it,

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>thinks is almost religious experiance. Then there's another group that says, well,

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>let's have it, but limit it. And just to make

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>it a Schedule one, there's Schedule three would require the

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Congress to act, and they're stimy. They're not going to

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>act at all. You can't look at Washington for guidance

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.119
<v Speaker 1>on anything. So the states are on their own. About

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven states allow marijuana and the other thirteen do not.

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And maybe that's the answer of federal system. Kind of

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>let the let the states run it now. Secondly, you

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>and many others were involved in the reapportionment about a

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>week or two ago. Explain where we are now with

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the districts. I'm thinking about Southwest Ohio, the one held

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>by Landsman. What's the status of that? And since the

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Democrats agreed, isn't it Isn't it like chisel and stone

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>at this point?

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what, when the Democrats agree on this, Willie,

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>you can't call it Gary mandering. They want to have

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 2>it both ways. They want to vote yes on it

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>and call it gairymandering. You can't have it both ways.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>And so when you look at that seat, it's got

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Green Township added to that seat, You've got Harrison added.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Those are reliably red areas. The reliably blue areas of

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Hamberley Village have been taken out, and the really red,

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 2>reliable red area Clinton County has been added. Bill. This

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 2>is going to be very competitive. I think that Republicans

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 2>have a great shot at this, and we need more

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Republicans in Washington, DC right now, so this is a

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>big step for Ohio. We've also made changes to the

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Marcy Capture seat in the Toledo area, that is that's

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>going to have a Republican I am very much anticipating

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>twelve Republicans out of fifteen going to Congress from the

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 2>state of Ohio here in a year be will.

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>What do you say to Americans angry about property taxes

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>because some older folks, especially on a fixed income, are

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>being priced out of their homes by property tax increases.

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>What do you say to them?

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, this is certainly a big issue. And so

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 2>when you look at what we did, we passed four

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 2>bills last week, will it's unprecedented and consequential, the amount

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 2>of change and reform that we brought some property taxes

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 2>in Ohio. And that's part of the reason why places

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 2>like Kroger and others P and G are leading downtown

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati because of the tax structure structure income tax, sales tax,

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 2>property tax. They want out of places that's going to

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 2>tax them into oblivion. And so when you look at

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 2>these bills that we passed last week, the one that's

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 2>really important, though there's a couple of them, they limit

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the tax growth property tax growth to the rate of inflation.

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 2>And here's one that not everybody knows about, Willie. We

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 2>are transferring money from the credit that we give to

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 2>the non business credit to owner occupied credit, which means

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 2>that if you live in the home that you are

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 2>paying taxes on, you actually live there, you're going to

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 2>go from two and a half percent credit on your

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 2>property taxes to fifteen percent. That is a huge jump, Willie,

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>and I think property tax pay who live in their

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 2>home are really going to feel something positive for them

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 2>in the next year.

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Now say that again, because a guy like me, I

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 1>lived in my same house for twenty five years. I'm

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a senior citizen on a fixed income. You know what

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. I can't make any more money than I make.

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 1>So does this benefit a poor man like me?

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely so. Right now, you're the owner occupied credit in

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Ohio is two and a half percent. You're getting a

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 2>two and a half percent of your property taxes is

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 2>paid by the state of Ohio for you. Well, over

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.679
<v Speaker 2>four years, we are going to up that from two

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and a half percent. We're going to gradually, over four

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 2>years up back to fifteen percent. That state to Ohio

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 2>is going to pay your property tax for you.

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I like that. I'm starting to believe in government all

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden.

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, you go now too, we finally did something good.

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Something good. Then thank you for coming on to clarify

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>everything and nothing THC. I think if an adult wants

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.319
<v Speaker 1>they have an adult beverage at home and as THC

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>in and I say, hey, I'm at it. I don't

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>like the idea that people can walk around and smoke pot.

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the idea that teenage boys and go

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 1>into a ponykeg and buy some of these beverages with

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 1>high THHC content and they're intoxicating. I don't like that

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>at all. I don't like the fact that the high

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 1>school kids can now get Niel money. I don't know

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>what Fry's worth. Its saying that's probably a lot of money.

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I don't like a lot of aspects of

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 1>our life, but at least we try to govern our

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>own affairs. I have a long term concern that our

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:31.199
<v Speaker 1>major cities are in complete collapse economically, religiously, educationally, and

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 1>until that changes, we can't be a great state or

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a great nation when all of our major cities are

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 1>in collapse with crime, rampant drug use, homelessness. The homeless

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.439
<v Speaker 1>camps are back in Cincinnati. I think it's a problem.

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>But Adam Bird, good luck in New Richmond.

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, go ahead, thank you well. I was going to say,

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Willie that this is the reason why places like Claremont, Butler,

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and Warren are growing in population counties around Columbus, like

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Pickaway and Union in Delaware County, they're growing because people

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>are fleeing Democrat policies and it's a big problem. And

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 2>so will I just you know, last week it was

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 2>a huge week in the state legislature. I mean, we

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.719
<v Speaker 2>passed a bill last week it said no more turning in,

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 2>no more counting, have some key ballots after election day.

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 2>We increase the penalties for drug and human trafficking. We

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>require sex offenders to move away from their victim. We're

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>not going to allow mail order abortion pills anymore. We're

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 2>going to protect our prison guards better. And then also

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 2>if you're pulled over with probable cause, you've got to

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 2>turn over your driver's license really to the police officer.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to create and protect law and order

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.319
<v Speaker 2>in Ohio. And we're for the people, and we want

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 2>to protect people, and we want to make Ohio a

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 2>great place to live.

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>We have islands of debauchery inside of a sea of tranquility.

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>We have the Blue Cities floating into a sea of tranquility,

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully the voters in these areas have got to

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>understand what the results of their elections are. I can't

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 1>imagine Mayor Peer of All getting eighty one percent of

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 1>the vote, down from eighty three percent of the vote.

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>After his performance in office, the voters held him to

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>account from eighty three to eighty one percent, electing all

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the same goofballs, the goofs who ran city council, the

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>same goofs are in charge once again. Adam Bird, I'm

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>coming to Claremont County. I love that new Mexican restaurant

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of on the river. I like that place. And

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>you and I get together, maybe have a margarita one

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>day when they get two straws and suck it up together.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 2>What do you think you've come to Claremont County anytime? Willie?

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 2>And New Richmond's a great place. He's got some good

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 2>restaurants down there. And you know, I'm just saying, Willie,

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>if you're going to let more and more people leave

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 2>the hellhole of Cincinnati, please don't let him bring their

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 2>politics with them to Claremont. Brown, Claremont and Brown and

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Butler and Warren, don't let them move out. Here if

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 2>they're going to bring the stuff that that's created problem

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 2>where they currently live.

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>City Council or a bunch of goofs. All right, Tony

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Tony Bender said enough is enough. Let's continue. Adam Bird,

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>you're the man. God bless you, and God bless Claremont County.

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Adam Bird. Keep doing what you're doing. Honor

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to be with you, Bill, God bless America. City Council

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:16.160
