Speaker 1: Bill cunning in the Great America. Welcome this Thursday afternoon
Speaker 1: in the tri State. Who's going to start for the
Speaker 1: Bengals on Sunday? Tony Benner tells me it's going to
Speaker 1: be Joe Burrow and not Joe Flacco. We'll see if
Speaker 1: Tony's right or not, because it appears Burrow may play
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We'll see what happens against the Patriots. But
Speaker 1: until then, I know there's been a lot of difficulties
Speaker 1: and uncertainties about hemp and fuge drinks, and marijuana and
Speaker 1: so much more CBD. Many of my friends use CBD
Speaker 1: to sleep at night. A lot of them drink hemp
Speaker 1: and fuge drinks. Some businesses are built upon that fact.
Speaker 1: But the Feds just passed the law kind of eliminating
Speaker 1: the whole industry within a year. Then each state are
Speaker 1: acting separately and joining you. And I now is the
Speaker 1: man in charge in Columbus, Senator Steve Huffman, who was
Speaker 1: up this morning till one or two o'clock in the
Speaker 1: morning working on the bill. And I guess there's been
Speaker 1: a little bit of an agreement what to do with this.
Speaker 1: And Senator Steve Huffman Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: But before we get started, I always like to talk
Speaker 1: about American veterans, and yesterday in the Capitol, you and
Speaker 1: others honored a World War Two veteran at the Battle
Speaker 1: of the Bulge. Can you briefly give me his name
Speaker 1: and why he was honored?
Speaker 2: Jim Arisman from Farmersville in Montgomery County for his one
Speaker 2: hundredth birthday. He'll be one hundred on Thanksgiving Day. Just
Speaker 2: a great honorable man and you know, a great generation.
Speaker 2: He told me of the story. You know, he was
Speaker 2: injured and got the Purple Heart and the Battle of
Speaker 2: the Bulge and he was wounded and laid in a
Speaker 2: foxhole for hours till he could be rescued, and just
Speaker 2: a great, great American. It was my honor to have
Speaker 2: him there in on his hunt of birthday.
Speaker 1: And you know, Senator, that is the greatest generation to
Speaker 1: be lying in a hole with temperatures below zero, wounded,
Speaker 1: covered up with dirt and grime in order to maybe
Speaker 1: save your life. And then to have the success of
Speaker 1: the Battle of the Bulge because of the activities of
Speaker 1: General Patton, but mainly the soldiers like Jim got it done,
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure we have it in us to
Speaker 1: do what that generation did. That's a different issue. So,
Speaker 1: first of all, the FEDS past the cr which city
Speaker 1: essentially that HEMP and fused businesses have about to one
Speaker 1: year to resolve their inventory to sell, and they kind
Speaker 1: of pushed it off to the states a little bit.
Speaker 1: I understand from our two conversations. There was media reports
Speaker 1: yesterday the House and the Senate had reached an agreement,
Speaker 1: which wasn't the case. But then there was a kind
Speaker 1: of an agreement this morning at one o'clock. Can you
Speaker 1: tell the American people as we sit here about twelve
Speaker 1: ten pm on Thursday afternoon, what is the status the
Speaker 1: HEMP and CBD in the state of Ohio at this point.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, earlier this year, we each had our bill.
Speaker 2: We didn't agree to it, so we decided to go
Speaker 2: to conference committee. I was chair of the Conference committee,
Speaker 2: and you know, the Senate adjourned for the night, and
Speaker 2: then I was about to walk out the door and
Speaker 2: they said, hold on, I think we got a deal.
Speaker 2: And that was about nine thirty, and I called the
Speaker 2: committee of eleven thirty and we finished about twelve fifteen.
Speaker 2: We had the agreement. The House went to the floor
Speaker 2: right after that and voted. They were done about one fifteen,
Speaker 2: one thirty, and the Senate doesn't have another session for
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. But I am sure that the
Speaker 2: Senate will honor our agreement and vote to pass the
Speaker 2: exact same thing that the House did last night.
Speaker 3: Hie.
Speaker 1: So as of one thirty am this morning, about nine
Speaker 1: ten hours ago, the deal is struck. But you and
Speaker 1: the Senate were out of session. You're going to come
Speaker 1: back into session and you're telling me the deal you're
Speaker 1: about to announce is going to be. It's going to
Speaker 1: pass in about two weeks. Is that correct?
Speaker 2: I believe so the governor will have to sign it
Speaker 2: to have this ability to line item veto because there's
Speaker 2: some money into it.
Speaker 4: But I am sure that.
Speaker 2: We have the votes in the Senate to pass it
Speaker 2: to Mullana the agreement that we have at the House.
Speaker 1: So Tony Benner wants to know what is the deal?
Speaker 1: Am I write down the deal? Give me one, two, three,
Speaker 1: and four. What's the deal?
Speaker 2: Well, there was one was on marijuana. We cleaned up
Speaker 2: some things. They'll still be allowed to have twelve plants,
Speaker 2: but we cleaned some things up from issue too was
Speaker 2: the first part. The second part was in ninety days
Speaker 2: after the the bill as signed, all gummies edibles will
Speaker 2: be illegal in the state of Ohio. And that is
Speaker 2: something that you know that and you've talked to Mike d.
Speaker 2: Whine about kids are getting that, So that will all
Speaker 2: be illegal. We will continue to allow beverages at five milligrams,
Speaker 2: which is a reasonable amount.
Speaker 3: For this year.
Speaker 2: And if the Feds come back and say, you know,
Speaker 2: you're allowed to keep beverages and do that, we have
Speaker 2: an agreement with the House and Senate that we will
Speaker 2: have discussions and make proper regulations with proper restrictions and
Speaker 2: proper taxation in the future. But didn't have time to
Speaker 2: get that last, but you can continue to get those
Speaker 2: and we will allow places like ryan Geist in Cincinnati
Speaker 2: if you can manufacture at a higherli level, but you
Speaker 2: got to sell that stuff out of state if other
Speaker 2: states allow it.
Speaker 1: So that the major part is ninety days after the
Speaker 1: bill is signed, which is two to three weeks from now,
Speaker 1: all gummies and edibles in the state of high will
Speaker 1: be illegal.
Speaker 3: Is that correct?
Speaker 2: Yes, if they have anything over zero point four milligrams
Speaker 2: which is very little and not intoxicating.
Speaker 4: If it's above that, it's illegal.
Speaker 1: So the gummies below that are legal because they're not intoxicating.
Speaker 1: Of course, the reason you take them is because they're intoxicating.
Speaker 1: You don't take because they're not intoxicating. He's taken because
Speaker 1: they're intoxicating. And so essentially, by having a very low
Speaker 1: level of THC, the purpose of the gummies and edibles
Speaker 1: is to have intoxicating effect or some effect, but the
Speaker 1: level will be so low wellot and essentially, unless you
Speaker 1: want to manufacture below point oh four, there will be
Speaker 1: no gummies or edibles legal in Ohio beginning in about
Speaker 1: ninety or so days.
Speaker 3: Is that correct?
Speaker 2: There are some yes, there are some people that like
Speaker 2: the low level THHC because it also has the CBD
Speaker 2: xtra dials and other things in there that helps them
Speaker 2: sleep and in things like that. And you know, another
Speaker 2: big thing that was in this bill is you know
Speaker 2: there's a ten percent tax and thirty six percent of
Speaker 2: that will go back to the locals of the jurisdictions
Speaker 2: where the dispensaries are. The ballot initiative did not have
Speaker 2: a way for the state to actually give you give
Speaker 2: them the money, and we did that in this bill.
Speaker 2: So we've we've honored you know, the ballot initiae of
Speaker 2: wording that says you'll get thirty six percent of that
Speaker 2: ten percent. And that's going to make a lot of places,
Speaker 2: especially places where there's a bunch of dispensaries like the
Speaker 2: City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And I And it'll make the City of Cincinnati happy.
Speaker 1: They'll get more money. Is that correct?
Speaker 2: That is is wherever the dispensary is, that jurisdictions will
Speaker 2: get there thirty six percent of the ten percent tax.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not going to this next point, which is
Speaker 1: beverages have to have a very low, very low hemp drinks.
Speaker 1: Beverages have to have a very low THC Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Very low?
Speaker 2: That is five milligramts for twelve ounces. You know, I've
Speaker 2: seen these things around the country where you know, a
Speaker 2: twelve ounce can, I think to me and use one drink. Well,
Speaker 2: they'll they'll have twelve lines at can and say each
Speaker 2: line is a serving, so and that's twelve ounce.
Speaker 4: Can they consider.
Speaker 2: Twelve servings at five milligrams? That's sixty milligrams? Right? You
Speaker 2: wouldn't be able to stand up at sixty milligrams, so
Speaker 2: five milligrams to me, it's probably parallel to a twelve
Speaker 2: ounce spear.
Speaker 1: So Ryan guys fifty West right now are selling these
Speaker 1: Hampton Feud beverages much above five milligrams, correct, A lot
Speaker 1: more than that is currently being sold.
Speaker 4: Correct. I don't know how much what they are. They
Speaker 4: can do that now.
Speaker 2: I know that other states allow for tens, fifteens, and twenties,
Speaker 2: so I can't say what they're doing now, but my
Speaker 2: understanding is probably at least tennis is also a popular
Speaker 2: drink in Ohio.
Speaker 1: So, and what's the purpose of the litigation of this legislation?
Speaker 1: What's the purpose Because some of the Ryan geist in
Speaker 1: the fifty West are not happy about government getting involved.
Speaker 1: They want the consumer to decide what to do. So
Speaker 1: what's the argument that needs to be limited to such
Speaker 1: a low amount that you might you don't get a buzz.
Speaker 1: The idea, I think is to get a buzz. I
Speaker 1: think that's the purpose. I think the purpose of drinking
Speaker 1: alcohol is to get a buzz. I think the purpose
Speaker 1: of these hemp infused drinks is take the place of
Speaker 1: the buzz caused by alcohol. And so, what is the
Speaker 1: governmental interest in having shall I say little or no
Speaker 1: buzz as opposed a more buzz.
Speaker 4: I would say that.
Speaker 2: One the five metogram is probably equal to one twelve
Speaker 2: ounce bud lock.
Speaker 4: So you're right.
Speaker 2: With one of them, you are not going to get
Speaker 2: a buzz, but three four you will get a buzz.
Speaker 4: And so it's a.
Speaker 2: Reasonable you know, maybe one or two you're feeling good,
Speaker 2: and maybe that's the objective of the consumer, but it'll
Speaker 2: it'll still get you impaired if you drink too much
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: All right, Now, as far as Delta eight, I know
Speaker 1: the governor and you were concerned about teenage boys and
Speaker 1: girls going into a convenience store buying Delta eight products.
Speaker 1: What's the status of that as far as the age
Speaker 1: limit and the amount.
Speaker 2: In ninety days, it'll be totally illegal for adults, younger people,
Speaker 2: anybody if it's above that small amount. So we're going
Speaker 2: to get rid of all of it. You can still
Speaker 2: get some lotions and creams that people put on for
Speaker 2: their arthritis, but essentially we'll do away with it because
Speaker 2: it's a lot of it's stuff that comes from China
Speaker 2: and kids have been able to get it for a
Speaker 2: while and advertise to them and in this bill, it'll
Speaker 2: cut out all advertising to children. It has to be
Speaker 2: approved by the Marijuana Commission before they could do anything.
Speaker 1: So a teenage boy or girl going in the convenience
Speaker 1: store to buy Delta eight and ninety days will be illegal,
Speaker 1: that's correct, And you have to be twenty is it
Speaker 1: twenty one?
Speaker 3: Is that the age.
Speaker 2: Twenty one for the beverages and it can only be
Speaker 2: sold at current places that have a liquor license or
Speaker 2: a bar that has a liquor license, the only place
Speaker 2: you'll be able to get it.
Speaker 1: Senator Steve Huffin, what's the interaction now of the federal legislation?
Speaker 1: There's another provision this from our conversation this morning about
Speaker 1: that if the Feds I don't know, but Senator Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell of Kentucky is all exercised along with Ryan Paul
Speaker 1: about the hemp farmers are going to be hit by
Speaker 1: the bill in Washington which they basically eliminate all of it.
Speaker 1: And so, what's the interaction between your bill, which is
Speaker 1: going to become long about ninety days or so, as
Speaker 1: opposed to the federal piece of legislation.
Speaker 4: Hard bill?
Speaker 2: Pretty much marrors it. We increase the timeline on the
Speaker 2: gummies and edibles. But there's many people in Columbus, in
Speaker 2: the industry in Washington believes that the federal government in
Speaker 2: the next year will come back and say, hold on,
Speaker 2: here's the regulations for you know, the limits on THHC
Speaker 2: and hemp in beverages and other things, and then the
Speaker 2: states would be able to regulate it however they want
Speaker 2: with those guidelines, is what people think. Some states will
Speaker 2: just say nope, I don't want any of it. Other
Speaker 2: states will say, you know, we'll take even more restrictions
Speaker 2: or you know, or follow the federal law.
Speaker 1: And so if the Feds change it, then you and
Speaker 1: Columbus will change it.
Speaker 3: Also, is that correct?
Speaker 2: The House in the sent has an agreement that we
Speaker 2: will do our best to come to an agreement to
Speaker 2: to most likely preserve only the best. We only have
Speaker 2: an agreement to try to preserve long term the beverages
Speaker 2: and not the other stuff.
Speaker 1: And beverages at a very low level. Now, Thirdly, I'm
Speaker 1: I have a belief that marijuana is in like thirty
Speaker 1: six or thirty seven states. The selling, manufacturing, the grow,
Speaker 1: the processing of marijuana is all over the country. It's
Speaker 1: also true that the FEDS consider marijuana to be a
Speaker 1: Schedule one. The FEDS consider it to be similar to
Speaker 1: cocaine or methamphetamine, and there seems to be no appetite
Speaker 1: in Washington to make that a Schedule three because the
Speaker 1: Trumpster are many Republicans don't think Many Republicans don't think
Speaker 1: marijuana should be grown anyway or used by anybodies. So,
Speaker 1: assuming that marijuana federally is a Schedule one narcotic which
Speaker 1: carries severe penalties, is it an anomaly in the law
Speaker 1: that Ohio in many other states permit the growing, processing,
Speaker 1: and sell selling of marijuana to millions of people even
Speaker 1: though it's against federal law. Is that correct?
Speaker 2: It's a joke. It's a failure of the federal government.
Speaker 2: It's you know, don't look behind the curtain and do anything,
Speaker 2: and we're going to let you do that, but we
Speaker 2: won't let you do banking because as if that's the
Speaker 2: federal we will let you cross.
Speaker 4: It's illegal to cross the state.
Speaker 2: Lines from Ohio and marijuana to Michigan marijuana. And it's stupid.
Speaker 2: They need to come with a Scheduled three drug. And
Speaker 2: the other thing it does is medical research. Let's put
Speaker 2: it out there and let places like a High State
Speaker 2: and you see do research and say this is good
Speaker 2: and it helps migraines, it helps post traumatic stress, or
Speaker 2: it doesn't. But we can't do that research as long
Speaker 2: as it's a scheduled one drug and thirty six or
Speaker 2: whatever states have it. If we have good regulations but
Speaker 2: be able to do research and have some other framework
Speaker 2: would certainly help chimes.
Speaker 3: We sit here Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 1: A Kentucky in that drives from Boone County to Hamlety
Speaker 1: County to buy marijuana here and then take it back
Speaker 1: to Boone County is committing a federal criminal offense.
Speaker 4: That is correct.
Speaker 3: And all these marijuana.
Speaker 1: Farmers in OHI and processors that's growing marijuana, processing marijuana,
Speaker 1: and selling marijuana are all committing federal criminal offenses.
Speaker 4: That is correct too.
Speaker 1: So why don't the Feds enforce it? One might ask.
Speaker 2: You know, this is multiple administrations for years that have
Speaker 2: that that haven't and that's their policy. It's it's just
Speaker 2: they they should do something about it, and they won't.
Speaker 1: I've talked to Euston, I've talked to Senator Speaker of
Speaker 1: the House. Uh, there's no appetite to take the issue
Speaker 1: on it all because they're saying, Okay, we got there,
Speaker 1: we got on the books. These federal criminal statutes about
Speaker 1: marijuana use similar to growing poppy seeds, are similar to
Speaker 1: manufacturing methamphetamine. Marijuana's in the same category as in the
Speaker 1: other ones. But wink, wink, nod, nod, we're not going
Speaker 1: to force federal criminal statutes, which I don't understand.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I don't understand that. But you know,
Speaker 2: we were both against the ballot initiative and twenty three
Speaker 2: and it happened, and here it is. But we've also
Speaker 2: talked about the good part of it. We took a
Speaker 2: you know, it's a billion dollar the recreation will be
Speaker 2: a billion dollar industry in twenty twenty five in just
Speaker 2: the state of Ohio. We took a billion dollars away
Speaker 2: from drug dealers, yep, a billion dollars, and we had
Speaker 2: including one hundred or one hundred million that we taxed
Speaker 2: that we can put the good use to treat drug
Speaker 2: addiction and police enforcement and other things like that. So
Speaker 2: there was some good out of the ballot initiatives we've
Speaker 2: talked about before, but the federal government could probably get
Speaker 2: in on some of that tax stuff, but they have
Speaker 2: chose not to.
Speaker 1: Multiple Republican Democrats, they don't want to touch it. And
Speaker 1: so those the State of ohiores participating in an illegal
Speaker 1: criminal syndicate for the selling of illegal drugs federally and
Speaker 1: benefiting from it. And I'm going, well, something's wrong here,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, Senator Steve Hoffman, I know you've been
Speaker 1: working hard of this. At one am, there was no
Speaker 1: deal this morning at one thirty, there was a deal
Speaker 1: in ninety days. All that is going to become effective
Speaker 1: once the governor signs it. We'll see what happens down
Speaker 1: the road. And Senator have a great Thanksgiving with their family,
Speaker 1: and God bless you and God bless America.
Speaker 3: Senator, thank you very.
Speaker 4: Much, you take care, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: God bless you all. Let's continue with more unbelievable and
Speaker 1: the Feds don't touch it. But it's illegal, but the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio, thirty six other states benefit from it.
Speaker 1: And if you drive from Kentucky to Ohio, Ohio to
Speaker 1: Michigan back and forth, you're transporting a schedule one narcotic
Speaker 1: across state lines. Twenty years in jail. But we're not
Speaker 1: going to enforce it. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred
Speaker 1: WW all right, Dave Keaton hit the music. I think
Speaker 1: there's a good probability that Joe Burrow is going to
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Bengals on Sunday against the Patriots. It's
Speaker 1: a crisis. He appears to be playing Joe Flaccoo didn't
Speaker 1: take snaps. Jake the Snake Browning didn't take snaps? Is
Speaker 1: Shoe Burrow? And this Morning with Tom Brennaman, of course
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor beat around the bush a little bit without
Speaker 1: saying so. But we'll see what the next few days bring,
Speaker 1: see what happens that would be a positive. God knows
Speaker 1: our community and professional sports need a positive. So the
Speaker 1: last conversation I just had with you and Senator Huffman
Speaker 1: kind of laid out what's going on. It's kind of,
Speaker 1: may I say, use the term absurd that the FEDS
Speaker 1: consider marijuana to be the same as cocaine and heroin.
Speaker 1: That's someone living in Kenton County would drive across the
Speaker 1: Brent Spence Bridge or the Suspension Bridge and buy marijuana
Speaker 1: here because you can't buy it except medically in Kentucky,
Speaker 1: and then driving across the river. It's the same as
Speaker 1: buying heroin or cocaine, which of course medically it is not.
Speaker 1: But that's what the law says.
Speaker 4: To me.
Speaker 1: It's absurd when I speak to the FEDS about correcting
Speaker 1: putting marijuana as the Schedule three, which is currently as
Speaker 1: the Schedule one with the worst drugs, imaginable eyes glaze over.
Speaker 1: When I asked a Senator Bernie Marino or Jade Vance
Speaker 1: or John used It about it, he said, there's no
Speaker 1: appetite here to change anything. There's a chunk of politicians
Speaker 1: and also Americans who don't want availability of marijuana anywhere
Speaker 1: at any point for any reason. There's another chunk that says,
Speaker 1: you know, marijuana is an adult use of a product
Speaker 1: that comes out of the earth, and it's not much
Speaker 1: better or worse than alcohol, and as a consequence, we
Speaker 1: ought to regulate it. I'm kind of in that category.
Speaker 1: Then there's others who claim that marijuana should be available
Speaker 1: to all people, all the time, in all circumstances. So
Speaker 1: you put those three together, and that not much happens
Speaker 1: in Washington whatsoever. So all I can say is that
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen. Federally, it is
Speaker 1: illegal for you to possess marijuana in the state of Ohio, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: Indiana because it's against federal law. However, the federal laws
Speaker 1: are not enforced when it comes to marijuana. By wink wink. No,
Speaker 1: not a gentleman's agreement. They've told that the fifty states
Speaker 1: go what you do, what you want to do, and
Speaker 1: we're not going to enforce the law. Why have a
Speaker 1: law on the books unless it's enforced, especially if it's
Speaker 1: a federal criminal statute. And I don't get good answers
Speaker 1: from anyone as to why that's the case.
Speaker 3: In OHIOO it's say.
Speaker 1: One billion dollar annual industry that generates about one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars in taxes plus thousands of jobs, and so
Speaker 1: Ohio is in better shape than other states. In California,
Speaker 1: for example, they thought they would have tax revenues at
Speaker 1: three billion dollars a year, but because of the non
Speaker 1: enforcement of the of the drug statutes and the marijuana
Speaker 1: production illegals in California that the illegal market is much
Speaker 1: lower than the legal market. So people knowing that they
Speaker 1: can buy marijuana from your friendly neighborhood drug dealer, is
Speaker 1: going to do it when the price is fifty percent
Speaker 1: of the authorized one. And so all I know is
Speaker 1: this is all strewed up and it's as clear as mud.
Speaker 1: So when the Feds passed a few days ago the
Speaker 1: Continuing Resolution had a provision that got rid of all
Speaker 1: the hemp and fused products CBDs in cans for example,
Speaker 1: got rid of all that. And you have everyone one
Speaker 1: year to get rid of their inventory. Now you just
Speaker 1: search Senator Huffman talk about well, we understand that, however,
Speaker 1: it might be less than this state, might be more.
Speaker 3: We don't know.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what Ryan geister fifty West does
Speaker 1: when they're in violation of federal law and maybe maybe
Speaker 1: not in violation of state law. Not sure, And we
Speaker 1: have a coming up later. Cindy Abram, state representative, who
Speaker 1: was this morning up to about one thirty in the
Speaker 1: morning dealing with the same issue. Yeah, I think I'm
Speaker 1: on top of what the issues are. But if you
Speaker 1: ask me what percentage of milligrams of hemp slash CBD
Speaker 1: hemp TC can be in the right ryn guys can
Speaker 1: I couldn't answer today what it is. I don't use
Speaker 1: the product, and I trust Americans like you to make
Speaker 1: those decisions. For yourself. Marijuana and THCHC and CBD and
Speaker 1: gummies are much better for you than tequila. However, the
Speaker 1: craft beer industry, as you might know, is dying on
Speaker 1: the vine. It was overregulated, overproduced, and people have moved
Speaker 1: on from that. Those in their twenties and thirties, they
Speaker 1: want to buy CBD hemp infused beverages as opposed to
Speaker 1: other alcoholic intoxicating liquors. And so what it is, I
Speaker 1: have no idea. It's pretty tough. I think to have
Speaker 1: federal criminal statutes that carry serious penalties, not in fours,
Speaker 1: which is the marijuana.
Speaker 3: When you talk to JD.
Speaker 1: Vance, he'll tell you he doesn't think the proliferation of
Speaker 1: marijuana is a good idea. And when you talk to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, he'll tell you he didn't like. He doesn't drink,
Speaker 1: doesn't smoke, doesn't use email, doesn't text. He's an old
Speaker 1: schooler that says, I don't think people should be drinking alcohol,
Speaker 1: and I don't think people should be using marijuana at all.
Speaker 1: So their argument is if you take away it as
Speaker 1: a Schedule one and it'll be more available, we want
Speaker 1: to make it less available, is what the Republicans say
Speaker 1: in Washington, and the states go on their own and
Speaker 1: do whatever they're going to do.
Speaker 3: I know one thing. The state's stable.
Speaker 1: Hi is making a boatload of money and taxes, and
Speaker 1: now local government's going to make some too, So we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. But if the Feds change, which is
Speaker 1: likely because of Ran Paul and Mitch McConnell, and allow
Speaker 1: hemp to be grown, has to be done within the
Speaker 1: next year. If it's not done, then there'll be a
Speaker 1: federal law against hemp infused beverage products, but not a
Speaker 1: state law. Then the state's got to decide what it's
Speaker 1: going to do. I have Do you have any idea
Speaker 1: what I just said? I have no idea, but I
Speaker 1: know one thing. I'm a great American. Secondly, once again,
Speaker 1: leading the news generally is his character that has caused
Speaker 1: such damage in American society, Jeffrey Epstein, and it's the
Speaker 1: lead story in the national news almost every newscast, almost
Speaker 1: every broadcast at night. The media is fixated on Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein as a precursor to getting Donald Trump, when now
Speaker 1: it appears likely that more Democrats are involved with Epstein
Speaker 1: than Donald Trump was ever involved with Epstein. Likely this
Speaker 1: story may die on the vine. So far, we know
Speaker 1: that Bill Clinton's oil portrait in the home of Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein as the former president sitting across the chair in
Speaker 1: a blue dress and black high heels. That's our President,
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. They were buddies, they were friends, they traveled together,
Speaker 1: did things together. King Jeffries, the leader of the House
Speaker 1: of Representative's Democrat from Brooklyn, wanted campaign money and donations
Speaker 1: from Jeffrey Epstein. That came out recently because of the
Speaker 1: documents released by the House Oversight Committee. Then you have
Speaker 1: a certain state US Congressman, Stacy Plasquette, who, while asking
Speaker 1: questions in twenty nineteen trying to get Trump, Jeffrey Epstein
Speaker 1: himself was texting with the US representative to prompt questions
Speaker 1: and answering questions from her about Jeffrey, about Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and Michael Cohen. So the Democratic Party is up to
Speaker 1: their eyeballs in this thing. Because of that, and because
Speaker 1: of the seventeen visits that Jeffrey Epstein made into the
Speaker 1: Clinton presidency, and by the way, none zero under Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: I would anticipate the media will be less inclined to
Speaker 1: cover any more Jeffrey Epstein because after all, number one's
Speaker 1: number two he was a Democrat. Number three he gave
Speaker 1: money to Democrats. Number four Democrats embraced him repeatedly in
Speaker 1: Manhattan and in fact, when he was freed of his
Speaker 1: criminal sentence many years ago in twenty eight twenty nine
Speaker 1: in Miami, when he came back to Manhattan, he had
Speaker 1: a big party in his mansion with the girls and
Speaker 1: George slap Monopolis was there along with Katy cork in
Speaker 1: the Hollywood and the New York elite were present, mainly Democrats.
Speaker 1: It's pretty hard to be a Republican in New York City,
Speaker 1: would you agree? So from all that, pretty hard to
Speaker 1: be a Republican in Cincinnati, just asked Corey Bowman. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: he ran in Democratic circles, he gave money to Democrats,
Speaker 1: he supported Democratic presidents. And the guy was a perv.
Speaker 1: He was a child molester, and he's likely right now
Speaker 1: in the bottom of hell for what he did to
Speaker 1: those girls. And by the way, the girls are now
Speaker 1: women in their thirties, forties, and fifties, and most are
Speaker 1: multi millionaires, having been part of lawsuits constantly suing banks
Speaker 1: and brokerage firms and anyone else connected to any of
Speaker 1: the businesses of Jeffrey Epstein. The class action attorneys still
Speaker 1: have many lawsuits pending in which the victims of Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein will be paid millions of dollars in addition to
Speaker 1: what they've been paid already, which is just compensation for
Speaker 1: the sins and crimes inflicted upon them. I'm still waiting
Speaker 1: to hear more than names. Some like Senator George Mitchell
Speaker 1: appears to have died. He's dead, four or five others.
Speaker 1: But there had to be hundreds, if not thousands, of
Speaker 1: men involved in these activities that is, molesting these girls
Speaker 1: and raping them at the behest of Julane Maxwell and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3: Who are they?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Do you know who they are?
Speaker 1: According to some reports, all the names have been known
Speaker 1: and there's three or four and that's it. That's not possible.
Speaker 1: If there were a thousand girls, a thousand girls and
Speaker 1: young women. I said, a thousand, there's got to be
Speaker 1: thousands of men. And is it a hoax? So who
Speaker 1: are they name? The names and the fact they're fearing
Speaker 1: for their life. I don't buy that to a large extent,
Speaker 1: because if they're fearing for the life by disclosure that
Speaker 1: the men who did this would be better off to
Speaker 1: off these victims before their names are known, which isn't happening,
Speaker 1: nor should it happen. So I have no idea what's
Speaker 1: happening with Jeffrey Epstein. I think is an American You
Speaker 1: and I? What do we care about? I think we
Speaker 1: care about the economy. I think we care about inflation.
Speaker 1: I think we care about Thanksgiving dinner. I think we
Speaker 1: care about economic issues, our job, we care about inflation,
Speaker 1: care about the price of gasoline, we care about the groceries.
Speaker 1: We care about our family's life. We care about a
Speaker 1: little bit about foreign affairs. Yes, we do care about
Speaker 1: Israel and ukrainet c. Where does Jeffrey Epstein rank as
Speaker 1: far as concerns in your life? I would think is
Speaker 1: at the bottom of your existence? Is worried about Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein and whether he's in hell or not, who he
Speaker 1: had sex with, who he didn't have sex with. According
Speaker 1: to one media account, he wasn't capable of having normal sex. Frankly,
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 3: I don't want to know.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. The victims have been compensated,
Speaker 1: and the one woman mainly involved. Julane Maxwell's looking at
Speaker 1: twenty years in prison and the media is anguish, he
Speaker 1: is too much toilet paper and the guy the main
Speaker 1: perpetrator is dead and that those who contributed money to
Speaker 1: will be out it and let let's.
Speaker 3: Move on with life.
Speaker 1: Is that possible, because now it appeals appears certain that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was not involved. In fact, NBC News made
Speaker 1: the classic statement, there's no evidence to indicate to date
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump has been involved directly indirectly in any
Speaker 1: of the criminal problems and difficulties of Jeffrey Epstein. But
Speaker 1: he knew him. Pictures are taken with him. The media
Speaker 1: puts his picture up all the time, but not the
Speaker 1: pictures with him and the King Jeffries, or him and
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer and Jeffrey Epstein and the Clintons and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein and all the other Democrats that he gave money to,
Speaker 1: and mainly it was Democrats. So I'm waiting to hear
Speaker 1: what is the what's to be determined by Pam Bondy.
Speaker 1: She won't release a bunch of information because she can't.
Speaker 1: Whatever she doesn't release, they'll have more conspiratorial theorists at it.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, do you care about
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein? Do you care about his victims? Of course
Speaker 1: I don't know any of them, but they've been well
Speaker 1: compensated for the injuries inflicted upon them, and they're going
Speaker 1: to get more compensation. More lawsuits are pending against various
Speaker 1: banks and financiers that Jeffrey Epstein interacted with. Anyone who
Speaker 1: touched Jeffrey Epstein is being sued by ravenous class action lawyers.
Speaker 1: And it is what it is. And like I say,
Speaker 1: let's move on with life. But that's I'm tired of
Speaker 1: the Jeffrey Epstein story, are you? Let's continue? Coming up
Speaker 1: after one o'clock today will be a man who we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about gun use when it comes to
Speaker 1: gun free zones and how it would save more lives.
Speaker 1: Of that was permitted plus later on as state Representative
Speaker 1: Sidney Abrams and will Joe Burrow play quarterback for the
Speaker 1: Bengals on Sunday against the Patriots.
Speaker 3: The smart money says, yes, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Twelve fifty five Home to Your BENGALSUS Radio seven hundred
Speaker 1: WW by Billy Cunningham, The Great American and the Great
Speaker 1: Debate has joined every time as a terrible incident involving
Speaker 1: a gun they need. Your reaction to the radical left
Speaker 1: is to ban more guns and make it more difficult
Speaker 1: to carry, and the media plays along with us as
Speaker 1: if gun free zones work. I'm looking at some recent
Speaker 1: examples as a terrible event in Oakland, California, were a
Speaker 1: career criminal twenty seven year old Cedric Irv for some reason,
Speaker 1: shot a football coach John Beam in the head. We
Speaker 1: have terrible incidents, and for example in Charlotte where a
Speaker 1: mentally ill career criminal stabbed to death twenty three year
Speaker 1: old Ukrainian recently, and there's going to be an arrayment.
Speaker 1: On Monday, there was an incident in Chicago transit where
Speaker 1: a person who has fifty fifty arrests for various nasty
Speaker 1: offenses set a woman on fire literally on the subway
Speaker 1: system in Chicago, and that was awful. It's terrible, and
Speaker 1: it goes on all over the country, and the reaction
Speaker 1: is always always, well, we've gotta have more gun free zones.
Speaker 1: We have to have more circumstances, whether it's a Catholic
Speaker 1: church in Minnesota or elsewhere, Johny, you not I now
Speaker 1: is Stephen Williford is with the Gun Owners of America,
Speaker 1: has some interesting statistics on gun free zones and the
Speaker 1: damage they cause. And Steven Williford, welcome again to the
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, a little bit
Speaker 1: about the facts of Coach John Beam. What happened to
Speaker 1: him in Oakland, California, at the hands of Cedric Irvin.
Speaker 5: Well, for all we know is that Cedric Irvin and
Speaker 5: I really don't like using their names. I don't like
Speaker 5: to give them any kind of notice, but apparently killed
Speaker 5: this coach. It's a very highly respected coach and well
Speaker 5: loved and stuff, and we don't know a whole lot
Speaker 5: about it. But we have to start getting rid of
Speaker 5: gun free zones. We have to start learning to carry
Speaker 5: and carry daily and sometimes even in my own home,
Speaker 5: I have my gun on.
Speaker 4: Me, you know.
Speaker 5: And it's terrible to think that the world is that way.
Speaker 5: But that's what the Second Amendment is about. It's also
Speaker 5: about fighting a tyrannical government. So it's time for people
Speaker 5: to arm themselves and be able to do within themselves
Speaker 5: and their families and the people around them. Ninety three
Speaker 5: percent of all mass shootings happen in gun free zones,
Speaker 5: and if you expect the police to stop it, the
Speaker 5: police are second responders. You're your only responder. You're the
Speaker 5: only one that can make a difference. So please go
Speaker 5: to gunowners dot org and sign up. Annual membership is
Speaker 5: only twenty five dollars.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about gun free zones and normally the
Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction. And I've seen it outside of churches.
Speaker 1: I've seen it outside of supermarkets. I've seen it outside
Speaker 1: department stores. I've seen it in baseball stadiums for example,
Speaker 1: or football stadiums. Almost all of them have signs up
Speaker 1: the saying you know, caring a gun is illegal. In fact,
Speaker 1: in many states you can go to prison as a
Speaker 1: legal gun owner if you happen to carry a gun
Speaker 1: inside of a football or basketball or you actually can
Speaker 1: go to prison for that. And even in the state
Speaker 1: of Ohio where I live, we have laws that we
Speaker 1: have an open carry state, as most of the Midwest is.
Speaker 1: But if the sign is up and you miss the
Speaker 1: sign it says gun free, gun free zone, can't carry
Speaker 1: a gun and you're found in possession of a gun,
Speaker 1: you can go to jail for six months. Not for
Speaker 1: doing anything wrong other than carrying a gun. Why can
Speaker 1: you tell me the mentality? Blue cities, Blue states, the
Speaker 1: most violent are the gun free zones.
Speaker 5: I just can't get around their thought process because criminals,
Speaker 5: criminals don't care about the signs. Criminals don't care about
Speaker 5: whether they can even own a gun or not. They
Speaker 5: don't care. They're gonna, they're gonna break the law. That's
Speaker 5: one they're called criminals, and we need to understand that
Speaker 5: and that they are unconcerned, and so wouldn't it make
Speaker 5: more sense if good people, good people like myself, could
Speaker 5: carry in those places to be able to protect yourself,
Speaker 5: your family, and everyone around you. You know, someone told
Speaker 5: me one time. I told someone one time, I hope
Speaker 5: you are never involved in a mass shooting like what
Speaker 5: happened in Sutherland Springs, Texas. But if you are, find
Speaker 5: someone myself to stand behind, because I don't care about
Speaker 5: your politics. I don't care about your race, I don't
Speaker 5: care about your gender. I don't care about who you
Speaker 5: think your gender is. I will stand in between evil
Speaker 5: and innocence and risk my life. And she said, I'd
Speaker 5: never risked my life for you, And I told her,
Speaker 5: I don't want you to just don't stand in my way.
Speaker 1: Now, give me the facts. You're the author of a
Speaker 1: book a town called Sutherland Springs, Faith and Heroism through Tragedy,
Speaker 1: revolving around the twenty seventeen event hero with a Gun.
Speaker 1: Tell the American people what happened there and why you
Speaker 1: wrote the book.
Speaker 5: Well in Sutherland Spring, Texas, I was home on November fifth,
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen, and I heard shooting. My daughter made me
Speaker 5: aware of it. I heard multiple gunfires being shot. I
Speaker 5: ran to my safe. I grabbed an AR fifteen and
Speaker 5: a handful of ammom. I ran across the street with
Speaker 5: no shoes on. They called me the barefoot defender. Now
Speaker 5: and people say they couldn't believe that I didn't put
Speaker 5: shoes on. I said, you're lucky that I had pants on.
Speaker 5: Pantiless defender and be a little creepy barefoot defender is okay.
Speaker 5: I was able to engage with the mass shooter that
Speaker 5: had murdered twenty six of my neighbors and friends, and
Speaker 5: I hit him six out of six rounds. He hit
Speaker 5: the truck in front of me. I ran behind a truck.
Speaker 5: He shattered a windshield of a car that was behind me.
Speaker 5: He hit the house behind me, and I was able
Speaker 5: to win that shootout, and he lost. And had it
Speaker 5: not been for my second Amendment, and yet my ability
Speaker 5: to own an AR fifteen, he had on Class three
Speaker 5: body armor and a ballistic bullet proof helmet and I
Speaker 5: had none of that. Had it had not been for
Speaker 5: me able to own an AR fifteen, and they had
Speaker 5: been counted among the dead.
Speaker 1: How many more would he have killed? How many more
Speaker 1: would he have murdered? How many victims were there? Many
Speaker 1: other victims about to be killed?
Speaker 5: He wounded twenty others and he was going around from
Speaker 5: pew to pew, finishing them off. So out of the
Speaker 5: church there were forty nine people in that church that day.
Speaker 5: Twenty six died, twenty were wounded. Three people walked out
Speaker 5: of that church without a bullet three.
Speaker 1: As far as the police, how long was it before
Speaker 1: the police finally arrived? Because I don't blame the police
Speaker 1: on this. You get a nine to one one call
Speaker 1: and you do your best to get there. But several
Speaker 1: minutes went by.
Speaker 5: Correct, I'm Sutherland Springs is a very small town. We
Speaker 5: don't even we're not incorporated. We don't have any police
Speaker 5: in Sutherland Springs and from the first nine one one
Speaker 5: call and we have it on video at the Valero
Speaker 5: Ice House across from the church. To see her on
Speaker 5: the phone. It took the police nineteen minutes before she
Speaker 5: heard the sirens and hung.
Speaker 3: Up the phone.
Speaker 5: And no, I do not blame the police. They were
Speaker 5: coming as fast as they could, but it took them
Speaker 5: nineteen minutes to get there.
Speaker 1: As far as AR fifteen or fifteen is, the is
Speaker 1: the illegal weapon in many states, AR fifteen's basically simply
Speaker 1: some inanimate metal object that can be used for good
Speaker 1: or for ill. I'm always amazed trying to criminalize and
Speaker 1: inanimate metal objects. A gun has killed no one. An
Speaker 1: AR fifteen never has done anything other than sit there
Speaker 1: to be used, hopefully the right way. And to criminalize
Speaker 1: the possession of an AR fifteen. The media loves to
Speaker 1: say AR fifteen. It sends signals to the radical left
Speaker 1: that has to be banned. And I think there's something
Speaker 1: in the range. There's millions of AR fifteen's already in
Speaker 1: the marketplace, and it's already illegal for someone to use
Speaker 1: that gun illegally to commit a crime. It's already a
Speaker 1: crime to do that. But guns do not commit any violence.
Speaker 1: It's people carrying guns that commit violence.
Speaker 5: What's really interesting, and this is by the FBI stats themselves.
Speaker 5: More people are beaten to death with hammers every year
Speaker 5: than shot with rifles in general, and that includes AR
Speaker 5: fifteen's the bolt action to whatever kind of rifle, that's
Speaker 5: all rifles in general. More are beat to death with
Speaker 5: hammers every year. Should we go after Stanley tool manufacture
Speaker 5: and ban hammers. A gun is a tool, just as
Speaker 5: a hammer is. And in the right hands, a gun
Speaker 5: can build a beautiful mansion, and in the wrong hand
Speaker 5: someone can bledge in someone to death with the very
Speaker 5: same tool that built the mansion. And we're not out
Speaker 5: there trying to ban hammers. And you can look that
Speaker 5: stat up on law enforcement. More people are beat to
Speaker 5: death with hands and feet every year than rifles in general.
Speaker 1: I've seen the numbers like six or seven hundred across
Speaker 1: the country are beaten to death those killed with a
Speaker 1: rifle or a shotguns about five hundred. You're more likely
Speaker 1: to be beaten to death or club to death. Then
Speaker 1: you're a shot on airfit. One thing that drives me
Speaker 1: a little bit. Steven Wiliford of gun owners of America.
Speaker 1: Is this that we never refer to a car as
Speaker 1: car violence. For example, there's about forty thousand Americans that
Speaker 1: die every year because of automobile accidents, but the media
Speaker 1: would never respond to a story like that's to say
Speaker 1: it's car violence. No, it's a drunk driver driving the
Speaker 1: car that causes difficulty. It's someone without a license driving
Speaker 1: a car. It's an unlicensed, illegal truck driver driving a truck.
Speaker 1: We would never refer to a vehicular accident as car
Speaker 1: violence because it's the driver who drives the car that
Speaker 1: makes it criminal, much like we refer to guns. Though
Speaker 1: with gun violence, inanimate metal objects sitting by themselves commit
Speaker 1: no offense at all, but we want to stigmatize the weapon.
Speaker 1: Calling a gun violence. We would never call all the
Speaker 1: forty thousand deaths of Americans car violence because we focus
Speaker 1: on the person and not the vehicle causing the death.
Speaker 1: Can you smell what I'm cooking?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 5: And look at the Christmas parade where they ran where
Speaker 5: the guy ran over? How many people with a car
Speaker 5: at the parade? You don't hear him say assault cars?
Speaker 5: You know, we've got to stop these assault cars. You know, Uh,
Speaker 5: where does this.
Speaker 1: End, you know, and it ends with eventually Americans figuring
Speaker 1: out that guns in the hands of the right people
Speaker 1: is are good things and that there's no such a
Speaker 1: thing as car violence. There is such a thing, according
Speaker 1: to media's gun violence, but gun violence only happens when
Speaker 1: in the hands of the wrong person. Well, Steven Wilford,
Speaker 1: go ahead, please.
Speaker 5: I've got some more subsists that if people want to
Speaker 5: hear him, and that is national stats is guests, police
Speaker 5: officers involved in shootings. Guess how many rounds they fire
Speaker 5: in a shooting a shootout.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: I assume quite a few national average.
Speaker 5: When a police officer gets into a gunfight, he fires
Speaker 5: twenty four rounds national average. You want to know how
Speaker 5: many rounds out of those twenty four rounds, what percentage
Speaker 5: he hits?
Speaker 3: Not many?
Speaker 5: National average? A police officer hits seventeen rounds or seventeen.
Speaker 3: Percent, seventeen percent like that, like two or three out
Speaker 3: two two or three.
Speaker 5: Yes, out of twenty four And the national average of
Speaker 5: a civilian in a gunfight fifty So outside of gun
Speaker 5: free zones, fifty two percent of all gunfights that that
Speaker 5: were outside of gun free zones are stopped by civilians.
Speaker 1: Right, civilians are the first line, first line of defense.
Speaker 5: And out of all of those two thousand and seven
Speaker 5: to twenty twenty one, out of all of those, not
Speaker 5: one in and so the bystander was hit by a civilian,
Speaker 5: non law enforcement.
Speaker 1: Well the truth will set us free once again. Stephen
Speaker 1: Wiliford is Gunowners dot org, gunowners dot org. Know your rights,
Speaker 1: know what the law is. And Stephen Wiliford, thanks for
Speaker 1: coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And thank you, I

Speaker 1: and get armed, know what your rights are, and be
Speaker 1: the first line of defense against the criminal element. And

Speaker 1: You know there's a story on Fox News today about
Speaker 1: Amy Robach. As you might recall, an ABC News reporter
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Twenty nineteen, add the story of Jeffrey Roberts,
Speaker 1: et cetera, Jeffrey Epstein wrapped in a bow and she
Speaker 1: wanted to air it. Yeah, and it mainly was about
Speaker 1: the victims of Bill Clinton and the airfare and the
Speaker 1: crap and the money he donated and the girls.
Speaker 3: That were involved.
Speaker 1: You know what, you know what Disney Slash ABC News said, now,
Speaker 1: bah no, we're not going to air that, and she
Speaker 1: wrapped it in a bow. Now here we are what
Speaker 1: six years later? Yeah, and suddenly is the biggest story
Speaker 1: in the world because they want to use that to
Speaker 1: hurt Trump, which is a lie. But nonetheless, when it
Speaker 1: hurt Clinton, guess what, they wouldn't er it when it
Speaker 1: might hurt Trump, which it didn't. Now they want to
Speaker 1: air it. Do you see the differential? Yeah, go ahead,
Speaker 1: let's see Willie College football. Last night, Miami beat Buffalo
Speaker 1: thirty seven to twenty. So the RedHawks are eligible for
Speaker 1: a ninth time in the last ten seasons. Now to
Speaker 1: go to a bowl game. What about the quarterbacks?
Speaker 5: Lie?
Speaker 3: Well, he left.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine getting paid eight hundred thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: play quarterback for Miami and then say I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stayed there. He got the money. Now he says I'm
Speaker 1: leaving because I want to get ready for the NFL Draft,
Speaker 1: leaves his team high and dry. Then it beats Buffalo anyway,
Speaker 1: Well this Thomas Goottkowski at his first started quarterback of
Speaker 1: TD passing a scoring run. Got it done last night
Speaker 1: for the RedHawks and they played the Buffalo Bills. It
Speaker 1: was at University enough University of Buffalo had about twelve
Speaker 1: people there and it was snowing, though, said Red's update.
Speaker 3: Let's see Red said.
Speaker 1: Nick Krawl said, yesterday Eli daily Cruz played hurt last
Speaker 1: season with a quad injury. One hundred and twenty six

Speaker 3: How about this?
Speaker 1: According to the ABC News reporter that legal did not
Speaker 1: clear it because of the Palace in London. They didn't
Speaker 1: want stories about Prince Andrew and the clintonisas want nuts
Speaker 1: and said if you do this, we're going to sue you.
Speaker 1: She said, I had this interview interview with Virginia Jeuffrey.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get it on. The legal said, we're concerned
Speaker 1: about the Palace and about the Clintons. So the whole
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein thing was spiked for the last six years.
Speaker 3: No, but you got a comment on that. Well, that's
Speaker 3: the way America is. I guess she says.
Speaker 1: Every day I get more and more urinated off. I
Speaker 1: had this story six years ago and ABC News refused
Speaker 1: to cover it. College basketball Tonight NKU and Central Michigan

Speaker 3: How about that if we're not impressed.
Speaker 1: According to one personality, in twenty nineteen, ABC News admittedly
Speaker 1: refused to air the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein because it
Speaker 1: did not meet repertorial standards. It didn't have confirmation. If
Speaker 1: ABC News had aired it, then the victims would have
Speaker 1: had justice and the American people would have had the answers.
Speaker 1: According to the reporter herself, let's.
Speaker 3: Go to someone who is in their right mind.
Speaker 1: The Trumpster said the other day, but that lady said,
Speaker 1: where are you from ABC News?
Speaker 3: He said, they had to revoke your life? Mary Bruce.
Speaker 3: What's her name? I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It depends either if it's an R or a Trump
Speaker 1: and one of the thing's got me fired up.
Speaker 3: Dick Cheney died.
Speaker 1: Yes, he was the architect of the disaster in Iraq
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, killing seven thousand American soldiers an addition of
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand others Afghans and Iraqis.
Speaker 3: He's one of the most unhappy sad.
Speaker 1: Marty Brenneman said the same thing about when he met him,
Speaker 1: that that guy's in the world all of his own
Speaker 1: and now he claims his daughter, I'm sure she's a
Speaker 1: clown too, said that she didn't want the president or
Speaker 1: vice president to come to Dick Cheney's funeral. Now he's
Speaker 1: a hero of the media and the Democrats. He's criticizing
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Dick Cheney. He was a disaster. Bush forty
Speaker 1: three was a disaster as president. He's a nice guy, though,
Speaker 1: you agree, Yeah, spend time with him in the White House.
Speaker 1: Nice guy. But he came into on opening day and
Speaker 1: twirled me around. So let's take some photos. And he said,
Speaker 1: Marty Brennan is Marty Brenahan. Yeah, Dave, can you find
Speaker 1: the comments of Bush forty three introducing Marty Brenahan. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry Marty Brenneman as Marty Marty Brenahan.
Speaker 3: I don't care. There you go.
Speaker 1: But if the media can use the Chinese to attack Trump,
Speaker 1: it's done.
Speaker 3: Can you comment on that? No, because it's all same
Speaker 3: old The.
Speaker 1: Democrats are asking the military to ignore orders from the president.
Speaker 1: That's like seditious, right, I can'derstand it.
Speaker 3: When I say something, I mean it.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, what did he succeed positively in being the
Speaker 1: president for those eight years? Can you explain, was it
Speaker 1: a rock Afghanistan that far back? Well, I do remember
Speaker 1: he was an unmitigated disaster. He actually I thought we're
Speaker 1: going to do fine. Yesterday shows what I know.
Speaker 3: And how about this.
Speaker 1: Amy Roeboch, the ABC News reporter, left ABC News in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three as the result of an exposed extra
Speaker 1: marital affair she had with the co host TJ. Holmes, right,
Speaker 1: who was also dismissed from the network. Correct, those two
Speaker 1: were doing the wild thing on and off the air.
Speaker 1: They had to do it early on in the evening
Speaker 1: because they had to get up at what four o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning or something. But now she's freaking seed,
Speaker 1: barbecued and ostracized. But she's the one that had the
Speaker 1: whole Epstein story. ABC News wouldn't put it out. We
Speaker 1: don't have confirmation it didn't happen, right, And now.
Speaker 3: They do that today It's on the air in ten
Speaker 3: seconds or less.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Andy mack all right, seg but the big
Speaker 1: news is Joe Yes or no? Is nine playing on
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Patriots?
Speaker 3: Yes or no? Yes? What did he say? This morning?
Speaker 3: With Tom Brenahan?
Speaker 1: He gave an indication that he's going to be playing
Speaker 1: was the indication that they, well, give me the indication.
Speaker 3: One thing is they need a little juice there.
Speaker 1: Although they've had what thirty some points and they get
Speaker 1: beat but you know, to bring him back. The crowd's
Speaker 1: going to be charged up with him being back. They
Speaker 1: need a victory badly, and they need about six or
Speaker 1: seven more. Tony Pike told me, hopefully they get hurt again.
Speaker 3: God forbid. Can they win the next seven games and
Speaker 3: win a few of them? Yeah, got to win seven segment. Well,
Speaker 3: see what happened.
Speaker 1: Would you hold him back or would you play him
Speaker 1: if he if they win seven in a row. Zach
Speaker 1: Taylor ought to be the coach of the year. I
Speaker 1: don't care who it is. Gotta beat the Ravens twice,
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Bills, It plays Golphin, Patriots, got to
Speaker 1: beat the Dolphins, Gotta beat the Browns at the end
Speaker 1: of the year. What if they win six in a
Speaker 1: row the brown Oh, that'd be perfect. Just don't get hurt.
Speaker 1: The Browns are like one in eighty five or something.
Speaker 1: Can Joe wear bubble rap? I'd wrap him up right now.
Speaker 1: But the offense is not the problem. That's why him
Speaker 1: to play nose guard. Can he play nose guard? No?
Speaker 3: Come on, like putting me out there. Why can't you
Speaker 3: play nose guard because I'm not big enough. How about
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow? He can do anything? No, he can do
Speaker 3: anybody quarterbacks. He didn't do anything. You think he wants
Speaker 3: to be like Tory Hunter. He can do any defense. Yes,
Speaker 3: of course he's hurt too. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: Say give me out of the student's report after two
Speaker 1: o'clock today. We have former police officer, current state representative
Speaker 1: Sidny Abrams will be here after two o'clock.
Speaker 3: Will you get out of of a foggy and rotten
Speaker 3: day on this Thursday.

Speaker 1: We leave you with the immortal words of the stood report.
Speaker 8: The windows my whole career, and and everybody that that
Speaker 8: we have in that locker room, all the coaches we have.
Speaker 6: You know things are gonna change year to year, but
Speaker 6: our windows always open.
Speaker 1: It's the window. Don't open the window today or next week.
Speaker 1: You got to get ten star temp star quality. And
Speaker 1: you can feel on seven hundred WLW Bill Cunning in
Speaker 1: the Great America and the House and the Senate were
Speaker 1: working hard this morning till about one or two o'clock am,
Speaker 1: and the House passed and then it passed on to
Speaker 1: the Senate. And earlier you heard from the Senator Steve
Speaker 1: Huffman about two hours ago that the Senate can't pass
Speaker 1: it because they're not in session for another two weeks
Speaker 1: so after Thanksgiving. But the House did pass it. Joining
Speaker 1: you and I now a state Representative, Sidney Abrams, who
Speaker 1: sent many years as a police officer and now is
Speaker 1: the state rep from the western side of Hamlet County.
Speaker 1: And the House actually made passed and did its job.
Speaker 1: The Senate will do it in about two weeks. So
Speaker 1: Sidney Abrams, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And
Speaker 1: can you tell us first of all what was passed
Speaker 1: this morning in the House about one thirty am.
Speaker 7: Yes, so, well, thanks for having me appreciate it. And yeah,
Speaker 7: we were in session very late this morning. It was
Speaker 7: a long day. We got a lot of great things done,
Speaker 7: but we ended up sending back over to the Senate.
Speaker 7: As you know, the Conference Committee report on Senate Bill
Speaker 7: fifty six, and as you know, we voted it out
Speaker 7: a couple of weeks ago. The Senate didn't agree with
Speaker 7: some of the things we did, so they went to
Speaker 7: a conference committee. That's all very normal in the process,
Speaker 7: and they worked out differences. Now, what it does number one,
Speaker 7: and most importantly it whatever the voters voted for on
Speaker 7: issue too, it preserves that of pay because we respect
Speaker 7: the voters and what they did an issue too. And
Speaker 7: but we added some protections right, mostly for our kids,
Speaker 7: and we don't want people driving around smoking joints and
Speaker 7: being high and you know when they're driving. So that's
Speaker 7: number one. Number two host community, so all of our
Speaker 7: communities in the state of Ohio that decided to host
Speaker 7: a dispensary, so you know, there's a bunch of them
Speaker 7: in Hamilton County they're going to get. It's the state money.
Speaker 7: Remember an issue too. They were supposed to get thirty
Speaker 7: six percent of the revenue and that money has been
Speaker 7: collected by the state and it's in holding until this
Speaker 7: bill is going to release that money to our local communities,
Speaker 7: which by the way, at least in Harrison, they're using
Speaker 7: that money for our first responders, for our police and fire.
Speaker 7: And I know a lot of other communities that agreed
Speaker 7: to have a dispensary are using that money also for
Speaker 7: our first responders, So that money is going to be released.
Speaker 7: Thirty six percent of that revenue is going to go
Speaker 7: back to our locals. Now public safety. What it did
Speaker 7: was Number one, we are prohibiting smoking in public and intoxication.
Speaker 7: That makes sense, right, Okay, that's number one. Number two,
Speaker 7: they cannot package this marijuana or any of any of
Speaker 7: this using any type of packaging that is attractive to kids. Okay,
Speaker 7: so think like, you know, you look like gummy bears
Speaker 7: and you know whatever else they do bright packaging.
Speaker 4: That kids would be attracted to to buy, So.
Speaker 3: Can't do that.
Speaker 7: Of course, all their advertising has to be at least
Speaker 7: five hundred feet from schools and churches. And then we're
Speaker 7: talking about you know OVII right, you can't smoke the
Speaker 7: joint when you're driving, just like you can't drink a
Speaker 7: beer when you're driving. You can't smoke a joint when
Speaker 7: you're a passenger, just like you can't drink a beer
Speaker 7: when you're a passenger. That's going to be of course,
Speaker 7: kindalyzed criminally, and that helps our law enforcement because at
Speaker 7: this point, you know, it's like, well, issue too, wasn't
Speaker 7: really clear. We had to clarify it. So here's the
Speaker 7: clarification for our law, for our law enforcement. We reduce
Speaker 7: the THHD potency level to seventy percent for extracts, and
Speaker 7: then of course maintaining the thirty five percent threshold for
Speaker 7: the plant material. And employers of course can continue to say, hey,
Speaker 7: we don't want you to smoke marijuana here while you're
Speaker 7: working at you know, company, whatever, and they can take
Speaker 7: appropriate action. You know, So if they come in and
Speaker 7: they're smoking a joint in the bathroom on their on
Speaker 7: their break, the employee can of course say that's not
Speaker 7: allowed here in our policy, and they can go ahead
Speaker 7: and take appropriate actions from there. Like I said earlier,
Speaker 7: we're waiting to see what the FEDS do as far
Speaker 7: as the THHD drinks and all of that. We didn't
Speaker 7: really see any action on that last night because again
Speaker 7: we're waiting to see what the FEDS do. And that's
Speaker 7: it for right now. What questions do you have for me?
Speaker 4: I'll stop there.
Speaker 1: Ryan Diyson ran Dyson fifty West. They're making the intoxicating
Speaker 1: hemp and fused drinks. What is the status, What is
Speaker 1: the level of THC content in the cans? That are
Speaker 1: being sold. I mean, that's a big business in Ohio.
Speaker 1: What's the status, right.
Speaker 7: So what we did in fifty six, Senator fifty six
Speaker 7: was and they came to us and we hear in them.
Speaker 7: Of course, our local dispensaries are our local brewers, which
Speaker 7: we love. In Hamilton County. They wanted five milligrams of
Speaker 7: thhd or less to be legal for on premises sale
Speaker 7: and consumption, which again we all agree with that, and
Speaker 7: then ten milligrams of casey or higher will be sold
Speaker 7: to take home because you know, at the end of
Speaker 7: the day, our folks that own breweries distilleries, I mean
Speaker 7: they don't want to, of course, have you totally hammered
Speaker 7: or impaired and drive your car. I mean they can
Speaker 7: lose everything they have for overserving you. So again we
Speaker 7: all agree on that, and that's what that's what Senate
Speaker 7: Bill fifty six did. But again we're in a holding
Speaker 7: pattern with the FED. So right now they can sell
Speaker 7: what they're doing right now, and fedes put a year
Speaker 7: time limit on it. We shall see what happens there, because,
Speaker 7: as you know, no different than up here in Columbus.
Speaker 7: When we pass a bill, and sometimes things look great
Speaker 7: on paper, and then in real life it's like, well,
Speaker 7: we need to kind of go back and tweak.
Speaker 4: This a little bit.
Speaker 7: And we can because it's called the Ohio Revised Code
Speaker 7: the RS for revised, which means we can change it.
Speaker 7: If there's something that's going amiss, you know, in real life,
Speaker 7: then we can make the change to it.
Speaker 1: So all right, So right now, federally they give a
Speaker 1: one year time period for hemp infused drinks to clean
Speaker 1: out the inventory and to get rid of it. In
Speaker 1: Ohio right now, are you going to wait for the
Speaker 1: final resolution until three to six months from now? And
Speaker 1: if the Feds do nothing and keep that the way
Speaker 1: it is today, then federal law would be sideways with
Speaker 1: Ohio state law.
Speaker 3: Is that correct?
Speaker 4: Correct?
Speaker 7: So we're waiting to see at this point, at least
Speaker 7: that's what the decision was at one point thirty last
Speaker 7: night or this morning.
Speaker 1: This morning, and so at this point and the Senate's
Speaker 1: not past it, the Governor's not signed it, And if
Speaker 1: all that happens, then the products being sold at ryan
Speaker 1: Geist right now are still legal at least for the
Speaker 1: next ninety days, maybe for a year, based upon what
Speaker 1: happens in three or four months, we're in a holding
Speaker 1: pattern to see what happens.
Speaker 3: Is that fair to say?
Speaker 7: That's fair to say yep.
Speaker 1: Now, Secondly, as an attorney that used to do a
Speaker 1: lot of marijuana work, it was always illegal federally and
Speaker 1: statewide to possess, to grow, to process, and then to
Speaker 1: sell marijuana. Right now, federally it is still illegal because
Speaker 1: there's a Schedule one narcotic similar to cocaine and metha
Speaker 1: fveetamine and heroin.
Speaker 3: Marijuana is with that group.
Speaker 1: So federally the Feds are saying you can't use it,
Speaker 1: you can't sell it, can't go across state lines. That's
Speaker 1: a federal crime. But thirty six states might be thirty
Speaker 1: seven states now consider it okay to grow it, process it,
Speaker 1: and sell it. Isn't that kind of ridiculous they have
Speaker 1: the Feds say that marijuana is a Schedule one narcotic
Speaker 1: and most of the states say it is not. And
Speaker 1: couldn't the Feds come in and shut down the whole
Speaker 1: operation if they wanted to?
Speaker 7: Well, I think what you have to remember, especially in Ohio,
Speaker 7: the voters have spoken, they have voted for this, and
Speaker 7: we respect that as the General Assemble, and we have
Speaker 7: to keep that in mind. So if it were up
Speaker 7: to me, look, I voted no for what it's worth.
Speaker 7: I mean, look a former police officer, it is what
Speaker 7: it is. That's how I feel about it. But the
Speaker 7: voters have spoken and they voted for it. So as
Speaker 7: a lawmaker, I respect that and I voted for this
Speaker 7: bill because again, it is legal in Ohio. The voters
Speaker 7: voted for it. So what we did here is just
Speaker 7: put some guardrails again, protecting kids, protecting public safety, making
Speaker 7: sure that you're not going to be smoking and driving,
Speaker 7: just like you can't drink and drive. So at the
Speaker 7: end of the day, that's what I'm focused on. And yes,
Speaker 7: we shall see what the feeds do, but I think
Speaker 7: they need to do with the program quite frankly, and
Speaker 7: look at what the states are doing. That's my opinion
Speaker 7: as a state lawmaker.
Speaker 1: So when I asked Senator John Houstad or Bernie Marino,
Speaker 1: I talked to jd Vance about this, he said, there's
Speaker 1: no appetite in Washington to change that. So it's like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: I think that people have spoken, which is consider marijuana
Speaker 1: to be not dissimilar to alcohol. It needs to be, yes, league,
Speaker 1: but regulated I think that in Ohio it's about a
Speaker 1: billion dollars in sales every year, generating about one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars in taxes on marijuana. But it just seems
Speaker 1: odd that if the Feds want to shut down the
Speaker 1: whole deal, they can. So if someone lives in Boone
Speaker 1: County and wants to drive to Hamlin A County to
Speaker 1: buy marijuana and drive back, that's the same as buying
Speaker 1: heroin and driving back. It's like twenty years in prison.
Speaker 1: And this is complete disrespect for the law. Now, secondly,
Speaker 1: you have a drug trafficking bill. Explain that to the
Speaker 1: American people.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm going to say one more thing about this,
Speaker 7: and I agree with everything you just said about that.
Speaker 7: And here's what I think the FEDS need to keep
Speaker 7: in mind, because this is what we kept in mind here. Look,
Speaker 7: we have to have some standard, right, So our breweries,
Speaker 7: our distilleries, they have standards. Our dispensaries have standards. So
Speaker 7: that's what we are looking at here. It's not just
Speaker 7: the wild West and you can do whatever you want.
Speaker 7: There are standards that you follow, and if you don't
Speaker 7: follow the standards and the rules, then you could lose
Speaker 7: your license, which means you can be shut down.
Speaker 4: So that's that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see what happens with that. Now, what about
Speaker 1: the Drug Trafficking.
Speaker 7: Bill, Well, the Drug Trafficking Bill we passed last night
Speaker 7: House till eighty eight, which we passed through the House
Speaker 7: last year, also went to the Senate. Ran out of
Speaker 7: time over there. But basically, what it does, and this
Speaker 7: was an idea that I had after I came back
Speaker 7: from the Southern border with our dear friend, Sheriff Jones,
Speaker 7: and so basically, it ramps up all the penalties on
Speaker 7: these drug traffickers, specifically with spentanyl and meth and stamine.
Speaker 7: So we raised all the penalties and we put specifications
Speaker 7: in there that if you knowingly kill, so you knowingly
Speaker 7: sell someone a drug that has spentanyl in it and
Speaker 7: they die, you have five additional years that you're going
Speaker 7: to serve the five year speck. And again we ramped
Speaker 7: it up with the penalties. I'm sick and tired of them.
Speaker 7: I'm sick and tired of the death. I'm sick and
Speaker 7: tired of our law enforcement again going out there doing
Speaker 7: a great job arresting these drug traffickers and they're literally out,
Speaker 7: you know, because yeah, penalty is ours strong enough, so
Speaker 7: they're going to be now all right.
Speaker 1: And that's as the governor has everyone agreed to sign.
Speaker 1: That is that the law currently or said to be determined.
Speaker 7: No, the Senate has to take it up after we
Speaker 7: get back in that from holiday Thanksgiving, and that they're
Speaker 7: going to take it up and then we'll see what
Speaker 7: the Senate does with it. And I'm sure the governor
Speaker 7: will sign it because you know he's so he's pro
Speaker 7: law enforcement, pro public safety.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, sendy abras back to work. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you're reporting back to the American people. And politically, I've
Speaker 1: heard rumors you may run for US Congress. There's a
Speaker 1: new district. Any any truth to the rumors you might
Speaker 1: try to try to go to the Congress.
Speaker 7: I love the rumors.
Speaker 4: Everybody likes to.
Speaker 7: What I think is funny about this, Willie is when
Speaker 7: they they say, oh, yeah, we heard you run for Congress,
Speaker 7: and I laughed. I'm like, am I wow, I didn't
Speaker 7: even know that. So yeah, No, I'm going to focus
Speaker 7: on the job I'm doing right now as a State
Speaker 7: rep for the west time west side western portion of
Speaker 7: Hamilton County District twenty I'm going to focus on my
Speaker 7: job right now.
Speaker 1: Could you beat Greg Landsman if you had to? Well?
Speaker 7: Listen, I look at my results from last time, and
Speaker 7: my team worked very hard back in the primary and
Speaker 7: the general we won by twenty and eighteen points. So
Speaker 7: you're knocking out work team, Abrams, I can.
Speaker 4: Tell you that.
Speaker 1: Sidney Abrams, good luck to you and thanks for reporting
Speaker 1: back to the American people. Sidney Abrams, thank.
Speaker 3: You very much.
Speaker 4: Have a good day.
Speaker 1: God bless you. Let's continue with more there. It is
Speaker 1: till one thirty this morning, and now things are as
Speaker 1: clear as mud on news Radio seven hundred wl ME.
Speaker 9: Is it hard sometimes you feel like with with who
Speaker 9: you are and like that you're restricted to not like
Speaker 9: you're it's hard for you to do these things because of,
Speaker 9: you know, the repercussions that may come with doing you know,
Speaker 9: kind of loosey goosey kind of podcasts.
Speaker 3: Yes, and no, you know I'm gonna walk out of here.
Speaker 3: I'm going we have Joe's best interest in mine.
Speaker 10: I'm pretty good at understanding what I'm want to say
Speaker 10: and verbalizing it the way that i want to, so
Speaker 10: I'm not so much worried about that.
Speaker 6: It's just I'm not.
Speaker 10: I'm not really a big fan of the whole. I
Speaker 10: love playing football, but I don't like everything that comes
Speaker 10: with it a lot.
Speaker 3: So you don't you don't like Do you like the attention?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: I hate it?
Speaker 9: Hate it meaning what you don't like to like? Do
Speaker 9: you get anxiety from it? Do you get like?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I get I get anxiety and like going out and
Speaker 10: have him take pictures with all these people.
Speaker 3: And I love it.
Speaker 10: I love the fans, and I'm you know, very appreciative
Speaker 10: of everybody. But you know, it's a lot sometimes.
Speaker 1: Hello, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 3: What what the hell was that?
Speaker 1: Who's the podcaster with Joe Burrow?
Speaker 3: Who is that? Hello? Who is that? I have no idea?
Speaker 3: Se won't you get him on your podcast?
Speaker 1: On your do you have a podcast?
Speaker 3: No, I'm all I need let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1: What Joe Burrow, according to Tom Brenneman, is gonna play
Speaker 1: on Sunday against against the Patriots.
Speaker 3: Is that a good move?
Speaker 1: I mean the segment says no, unless they win the
Speaker 1: next seven games in a row, is that possible?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: Does Joe Burrow play nose guard?
Speaker 4: No? No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't play linebacker? He did play linebacker in
Speaker 3: high school, so maybe, but I don't know. I I
Speaker 3: guess everything was thrown off because the initial reports when
Speaker 3: he when the toe was injured was this is very,
Speaker 3: very serious. It's complicated, it's complex, And now all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, he's back, like way ahead of schedule. Now
Speaker 3: if he's I guess if he feels perfectly fine, he's strong,
Speaker 3: he's in shape. He seems at least, so it seems
Speaker 3: at least a weaker.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to play to the middle of December, right second?
Speaker 1: Wasn't that the original thought?
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving? Everybody thought thanks Giving Day?
Speaker 1: What happens? I hate to say this. We got the toe,
Speaker 1: the caf, the knee, got the wrist, got the appendix,
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 3: Shoulder?
Speaker 5: Head?
Speaker 3: Shoulder?
Speaker 1: What happens if there's another injury to Joe Burke? Can
Speaker 1: I say that or not?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Okay? As I always say, injuries breed other injuries, and
Speaker 3: if you're not, you got something that's ailing you, especially
Speaker 3: in your lower half. That usually leads to something else,
Speaker 3: which leads to something else. Now, hopefully he's a hundred
Speaker 3: percent fine and if he should play, he'll be good
Speaker 3: to go. But it makes you nervous, makes me nervous. Well.
Speaker 1: According to according to seg Man, Flaco didn't throw any passes.
Speaker 1: Jake's throwing today. He's throwing today, Yes, maybe he's throwing.
Speaker 1: Is Burrow throwing today?
Speaker 3: Yes? What about Flacco? He's throwing today? What about Jake
Speaker 3: the snake, He's standing there, not throwing any passes.
Speaker 1: What about Clifford the big red dog?
Speaker 3: That's what they need? I don't know. I guess he's
