Speaker 1: Billy coming into Great America. Welcome with somewhat rainy Friday afternoon.
Speaker 1: The tri States should clear up in an hour or two.
Speaker 1: Should be great weather. They are all the high school
Speaker 1: football tonight. Plus on Sunday the Bengalleys go into Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: to hopefully beat the Steelers. The Bengals are about a
Speaker 1: touchdown underdog. We'll see what happens if they win. I
Speaker 1: al it's like to be optimistic. If they win on Sunday,
Speaker 1: they're one game out of first place, So we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens down the road. But here in River City,
Speaker 1: the mayor, elected by a wide margin to a second term,
Speaker 1: has spoken about a low supply of housing and high rents,
Speaker 1: generational poverty, racial wealth gaps, accessibility to guns and violence
Speaker 1: in the urban core, and so much more so. The
Speaker 1: state of the city, he said, is pretty good. In fact,
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati's taken big swings. About ten days
Speaker 1: or two weeks ago, Slowey had on a guest who's
Speaker 1: a big time developer and OTR who lives in the area,
Speaker 1: who may have a little dissenting viewpoint at times, joining
Speaker 1: you and I now as Michael the big time developer,
Speaker 1: OTRs put millions of dollars at risk and OTR mainly
Speaker 1: because of the q TQL stadium deal with FC, but
Speaker 1: also the fact that there's four hundred million dollars in
Speaker 1: investment plus going into that area generally, but public safety
Speaker 1: is number one. And Michael welcome. I think for me
Speaker 1: the first time to the Bill Cunningham Show, you were
Speaker 1: with Sloani about two weeks ago you found a gun,
Speaker 1: most recent shooting outside of a bar. So overall, can
Speaker 1: you give the American people maybe a descending viewpoint about
Speaker 1: safety and OTR and what's actually happening on the ground.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so thanks for having me on, Willie. Just a
Speaker 2: little background on myself. I actually lived I've lived in
Speaker 2: Over the Ryne for fifteen years, really the majority of
Speaker 2: my adult life. This is kind of what's you know
Speaker 2: I've made my career is you know, fifteen years ago
Speaker 2: I got this idea to move into the neighborhood and
Speaker 2: start investing. I started buying abandoned shells, shells that have
Speaker 2: been a brick building that I've been bannoned for in
Speaker 2: some cases fifteen plus years and taking big risks and
Speaker 2: spending years and tearing everything out of them, rebuilding them
Speaker 2: into apartment buildings and renting them out. Two great people
Speaker 2: that are going to contribute to the neighborhood, and then
Speaker 2: also making the neighborhood look better by getting rid of
Speaker 2: these abandoned shells. I find it's funny that I have to,
Speaker 2: you know, things that we need housing. That's literally what
Speaker 2: I do. And I'm just asking for basic you know,
Speaker 2: for the police and for the city council and for
Speaker 2: the local politicians to do the basic things that we
Speaker 2: need in order to keep people like me doing what
Speaker 2: we do.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: You take the big risk, you take the big swings.
Speaker 1: You're not generationally wealthy. Fifteen years ago, it was mainly
Speaker 1: a bombed out It looked like Berlin after World War Two.
Speaker 1: And you're one of the persons that came in and said,
Speaker 1: I see potential here, I see a walking community. I
Speaker 1: see Washington Park from my personal family have deep roots.
Speaker 1: TQL wasn't existing at that point, but quite high. It's
Speaker 1: not unusual to buy building now in OTR for a
Speaker 1: million dollars plus. So what's happening specifically in the bar
Speaker 1: in that community rod right near your businesses and right
Speaker 1: by where you live. What is happening in that bar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, at first, I think it's important to backtrack
Speaker 2: to the beginning of June. A little off topic, but
Speaker 2: I was one of Patrick Haranger's best friends. And I
Speaker 2: don't know if you look Willie, if you've seen his home,
Speaker 2: if he saw any of those news stories. But the
Speaker 2: reason why his house is painted green is because my
Speaker 2: crew painted his house the four days leading up to
Speaker 2: his death. Patrick was one of my best buddies, and
Speaker 2: it's really really affected me. But unfortunately, the more I've
Speaker 2: kind of looked at what happened, it appears that Mordecai
Speaker 2: Black climbed on one of my ladders through Patrick's window.
Speaker 2: And so that's when the neighborhood really started to affect me.
Speaker 2: A lot of the violence that I had been seeing
Speaker 2: over the last fifteen years, a lot of it was
Speaker 2: kind of in little pockets right where it was. Some
Speaker 2: of these blocks that were generationally violent had continued to
Speaker 2: be and then I could live my normal life around
Speaker 2: those pockets. So that was the first that was the
Speaker 2: first thing that really really kind of flipped my world
Speaker 2: upside down. And then the series of events that you're
Speaker 2: referring to is right down the street from where I live.
Speaker 2: We had a previous gay bar that was called E
Speaker 2: nineteen that vacated and was sold to new ownerships that
Speaker 2: put in a club called Privy on Elm and the
Speaker 2: clientele base of that club is completely different than than
Speaker 2: E nineteen was not really not just their sexuality. E
Speaker 2: nineteen was a gay club, but it's it's just a
Speaker 2: completely different clientele. And for the last seven months we
Speaker 2: have been calling the police every weekend. We've been calling
Speaker 2: city council. Just in the last ten days. I have
Speaker 2: tried to call aftab's office. I tried called Cheryl Long's office.
Speaker 2: I tried to call Evan Nolan's office. The only person
Speaker 2: I've actually spoken to was Seth Walsh and I had
Speaker 2: a really good conversation and he's completely on our team
Speaker 2: trying to get something done about this. But more or less,
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to get at is that Lily, we
Speaker 2: have been trying to tell the police and the city
Speaker 2: how out of control Privy has been, and it all
Speaker 2: escalated to four people getting shot on I guess it
Speaker 2: was the morning of November two. I actually didn't even
Speaker 2: know the shooting had taken place. I was going for
Speaker 2: a walk on that Sunday morning, and I took a
Speaker 2: video showing the amount of trash that was outside of
Speaker 2: Privy the following morning, just to document another reason why
Speaker 2: they have been such an unruly neighbor. And I turned
Speaker 2: the corner on the alley and saw a big pile
Speaker 2: of blood and I was like, what the heck happened here?
Speaker 2: Got online and was able to find out that four
Speaker 2: people had gotten shot. I guess hours before and from
Speaker 2: the photos that I saw online. I went to the
Speaker 2: other side of Privy where it looked like the shooting
Speaker 2: was and just laying in the grass was a loaded
Speaker 2: nine millimeter just right off the sidewalk, one foot off
Speaker 2: the sidewalk. I guess they would have been twenty feet
Speaker 2: fifteen feet from Privy's I guess it would be their
Speaker 2: south end, that is on Sinley Street. Called the police
Speaker 2: make sure new children got the gun. But he could
Speaker 2: have been a tragedy.
Speaker 3: And that's just the.
Speaker 2: Stuff we deal with on a weekly basis. Down here
Speaker 2: is the lack of enforcement of the small crimes, the
Speaker 2: drinking outside, the smoking weed in the cars. When people
Speaker 2: leave Privy at two am, they don't go home, they
Speaker 2: hang out outside. My house and they blare their radios
Speaker 2: and they smoke weed and they fight, and that is
Speaker 2: what escalates to four people getting shot.
Speaker 1: Now, one thing you told me off the air is
Speaker 1: that I think of a club, and I want to
Speaker 1: say this. Gay bars tend to be extremely peaceful and quiet.
Speaker 1: It's kind of entertaining and fun. Every now and then
Speaker 1: I'll find myself, maybe in Key West, with a good
Speaker 1: friend of mine, in a gay bar, almost by mistake,
Speaker 1: because it is good times, it's acting, it's fine. But
Speaker 1: how the privy describe the guards in front, which kind
Speaker 1: of set the tone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so again, this isn't like it was a quiet
Speaker 2: block and then they put a nightclub in. And this
Speaker 2: isn't a bunch of neighbors that are just upset about
Speaker 2: a bar. This was a nightclub prior. Okay it was
Speaker 2: for years. I lived next to E nineteen for I
Speaker 2: don't know, it's been three or four years. And again
Speaker 2: they were great. I would go out and I would
Speaker 2: stop there sometimes one on my way back home. A
Speaker 2: completely different clientele. They don't lit her outside, they don't loiter,
Speaker 2: they're not fighting. The police weren't there every weekend. So yeah,
Speaker 2: a completely different clientele. But what I was telling you,
Speaker 2: Willie is that if you drive past Privy on a weekend,
Speaker 2: I believe they're up in Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. They
Speaker 2: have probably two or three guard security guards outside and
Speaker 2: they look like Swat team members. They have bulletproof vests on,
Speaker 2: they're openly displaying pistols. And then directly across the street
Speaker 2: you have Ryan Geist with a you know, a fat
Speaker 2: guy with a beard and a security shirt, just you know,
Speaker 2: checking id's and it shows you exactly what you need
Speaker 2: to know. I give Privy some some credit, right, they're
Speaker 2: spending money on security, and we appreciate that, but really
Speaker 2: all they're doing is they're attracting that clientele we're fearful
Speaker 2: of to the area and then using their security to
Speaker 2: not even you know, it's it's it's a wash, right,
Speaker 2: They're they're they're drawing them down there, and then you know,
Speaker 2: the buckets overflowing unfortunately. So but yeah, I mean, if
Speaker 2: you just saw Privy security, you would know exactly the
Speaker 2: type of establishment it is.
Speaker 1: And the police, Michael Developer, the police have got to
Speaker 1: know what's happening. They have supposedly patrols in the area.
Speaker 1: They see the open air drug use, they see other
Speaker 1: forms of aberrant behavior. After hours, they see the garbage,
Speaker 1: they see the blood, the gun you found a foot
Speaker 1: from the sidewalk after the four people were shot. Did
Speaker 1: the police drive by that's with their windows up and
Speaker 1: look straight ahead and don't bother because you've complained to
Speaker 1: share along after have bare of all the new Chief, Henny,
Speaker 1: You've complained and nothing happens. Right, This isn't a one off.
Speaker 1: This happens all the time.
Speaker 2: Not only that, but I went to the city council
Speaker 2: meeting yesterday. I spoke for two minutes. That's all they
Speaker 2: would give me. And I'm trying, you know, but that
Speaker 2: they don't know. They all hide. Every time I've called
Speaker 2: somebody's office downtown, Willy, it's they have an assistant, and
Speaker 2: then there's an assistant that they have to give it to.
Speaker 2: And it's like, can I just talk to share along?
Speaker 2: Like can I just talk to her on the phone
Speaker 2: or have her email me? No, nobody wants to talk.
Speaker 2: They all hide behind each other and they all push
Speaker 2: it off on somebody else. But yeah, I mean, we've
Speaker 2: called the cops. I would be willing to guess, Willy,
Speaker 2: that there are probably more than seventy five complaints about Privy,
Speaker 2: probably between seventy five and one hundred complaints about Privy
Speaker 2: in the last five months. It's just every weekend, you know,
Speaker 2: and and it's this is not news to anyone, No,
Speaker 2: and I don't know, you know, part of part of
Speaker 2: what I think the problem is is this is, you know, unfortunately,
Speaker 2: I believe this is a this is a black owned business,
Speaker 2: and I think that there there is a lot of
Speaker 2: racial stuff going on here where you know, the black
Speaker 2: city manager, you know, is fearful of taking action on
Speaker 2: potentially a black owned business. And it's really frustrating because
Speaker 2: we're just asking to feel comfortable in our homes. I've
Speaker 2: been there fifteen years, really, I was there before Rhengeist.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Not only that, but I have tons of neighbors around me,
Speaker 2: some of which are black neighbors are the ones also
Speaker 2: complaining absolutely, And so this isn't a white versus black thing.
Speaker 2: This is just a lawlessness versus lawabiding, you know issue.
Speaker 1: And nothing changes. Is this symptomatic of a larger problem
Speaker 1: or is this isolated to the privy which is a
Speaker 1: slang term for a bathroom, which is another issue, but nonetheless,
Speaker 1: is this isolated to Elm Street by Privy because you
Speaker 1: have serious investments over by Ali's trolley over it that way,
Speaker 1: which is closer to TQL. Is this isolating? You live it,
Speaker 1: you walk the streets, you talk to the community leaders,
Speaker 1: it says one off. Or is this percolating throughout OTR?
Speaker 1: Because you might recall I mentioned you off the air
Speaker 1: that a captain a CPD sent to me the shot spotter.
Speaker 1: The shot spotter, it looked like you have a take
Speaker 1: a white piece of paper and take black pepper and
Speaker 1: just shake it all over the white piece of paper.
Speaker 1: That's shot spotter. And when the mayor was asked a
Speaker 1: question about it looks like there's thousands of shots fired
Speaker 1: and OTR and CBD all the time central Business District.
Speaker 1: And the mayor says, well, a lot of times it'll
Speaker 1: catch a backfire of a car or a pop gun.
Speaker 1: But there are thousands of shots fired every year in
Speaker 1: that area, and the mayor says, it's no big deal.
Speaker 1: How often in your community, Michael, do you hear shots
Speaker 1: being fired that you can know it's not backfiring of
Speaker 1: a car, it's not a pop gun. It is actually
Speaker 1: rifles or nine millimeters. Is it a regular event?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So, you know I was telling you about the one
Speaker 2: project I'm doing now that's you know, kind of over
Speaker 2: in the area of the soccer stadium. I'm actually outside
Speaker 2: of that property right now. I'm looking at my guys.
Speaker 2: We were getting outside of the building payment right now.
Speaker 2: This is a seven figure, you know, investment. It's a
Speaker 2: big risk that you know, my business partner and I
Speaker 2: are taking. But really, I've got property all over the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: I've been doing a fifteen years and every little nook
Speaker 2: and cranny of over the Rhine. Yeah, good question. I
Speaker 2: don't want listeners to think that it's too dangerous to
Speaker 2: come down to over the Rhine. There are pockets right where,
Speaker 2: you know. I could draw them on a map. If
Speaker 2: somebody said, hey, you know, my daughter is asking me
Speaker 2: if if she can live in over the Rhine, is
Speaker 2: it safe? I would say, well, where right, and I
Speaker 2: could circle on the map for you typically, you know,
Speaker 2: and that's part of my job. Will in order to
Speaker 2: invest in this neighborhood, have to really really understand it.
Speaker 2: And there are absolutely areas in this neighborhood that my
Speaker 2: partner and I we wouldn't even go see the property.
Speaker 2: We already know that it's a it's a no go area.
Speaker 2: And and those areas are typically because of a bodega
Speaker 2: on the corner and will you know the shell that's
Speaker 2: on Liberty right, that's all everywhere around there is a
Speaker 2: bad spot. You know, Tina's across the street. It attracts
Speaker 2: crime loitering, and that's non conducive of a of a
Speaker 2: development of a property in that area. So so yeah,
Speaker 2: I hear gunshots all the time, Wily, but typically I
Speaker 2: can hear that those shots are coming from the blocks
Speaker 2: that I'm referring to where the crime. It's just kind
Speaker 2: of a little halo around the area. And you know, generally,
Speaker 2: you know people that are coming down here to eat
Speaker 2: dinner or to socialize, they're not really in that area.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, good question. But you know, why
Speaker 2: did I want to be in over the Rhine? You know,
Speaker 2: people are like, well, why would this guy from the
Speaker 2: suburbs want to.
Speaker 1: Move to over the Rhine.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, Willy. I went to that soccer game
Speaker 2: the other night, the Sunday playoff game. And I'm not
Speaker 2: I could care about soccer, Willy, but I'm walking down
Speaker 2: Elm Street. It's great weather, There's people everywhere, everybody's outside
Speaker 2: eating the street cars driving by, and I just kind
Speaker 2: of looked at my I'm like, wow, this is great,
Speaker 2: this is this is really cool, and this is why
Speaker 2: people come down here. But what the city needs to
Speaker 2: realize is that if you don't want people to come
Speaker 2: down and go to the game and then lead and
Speaker 2: then just run home, you gotta do a better job
Speaker 2: of enforcing the crimes. Okay, and Willie, I have lived
Speaker 2: down for Town for fifteen years, and I never ever
Speaker 2: ever see Cincinnati police pull cars over for traffic violations.
Speaker 3: Never.
Speaker 2: Okay, they will, they correct, they they're going to, you know,
Speaker 2: when they're called about something. But if you're driving down
Speaker 2: the street and speeding, or if you don't have a
Speaker 2: license plate, or if you don't use turn signals, or
Speaker 2: if you know you run red lights, no, you will
Speaker 2: not get pulled over. No, okay. And the lack of
Speaker 2: enforcement on the basic crime is what creates a neighborhood
Speaker 2: of law listeness, and then those lesser crimes escalate. Those
Speaker 2: lack of enforcing of those lesser crimes makes people feel like, okay,
Speaker 2: well I can do that, maybe I can do something
Speaker 2: else too, well, right, and then it's just this ladder.
Speaker 2: They keep climbing up to the point when they don't
Speaker 2: get into Privy, and they pull out handguns and just
Speaker 2: unload on the side of the building and shoot four people.
Speaker 2: And apparently that's what I was told happened. I was
Speaker 2: told that. I was told this by the ownership, actually,
Speaker 2: and I saw some of the security footage where they
Speaker 2: had five or six guys on the south end of Privy.
Speaker 2: They didn't want to get searched at the front door,
Speaker 2: so they went to the side door, and then they
Speaker 2: couldn't get in the side door, so then they just unloaded,
Speaker 2: you know, round on a crowd of people. But that's
Speaker 2: what we're dealing with down here.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, Michael. I think thank you for coming out.
Speaker 1: You came on with Sloany and me. Let's keep the
Speaker 1: communication going. My heart aches for Patrick Herringer and Sarah.
Speaker 1: It's just aches. He gave us life. I think Sarah's
Speaker 1: moving out because she can't pay anymore the city once again.
Speaker 1: She moved out and the city is teetering, and the
Speaker 1: mayor says these are good times up against the clock,
Speaker 1: Michael OTR developer, big time guy in OTR. Thanks for
Speaker 1: coming on and forwarn his forearm. There are certain no
Speaker 1: go areas and otherwise it's a great community. But once
Speaker 1: again Michael got a run. But thanks for reporting this
Speaker 1: to the American people and we can make our own
Speaker 1: decisions about what to do. Michael, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Oh anytime, Thank you.
Speaker 1: God bless you. Let's continue with more.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: That's the truth and the truth mayor after pure of
Speaker 1: all and the city manager share along, y'all take some
Speaker 1: telephone calls, come out the ivory purchase in which you
Speaker 1: find yourself and talk to those actually on the ground
Speaker 1: and OTR like Michael and many others. Bill Cunningham's Radio
Speaker 1: seven hundred w let's continue broadcast Superbody. By the way,
Speaker 1: I love staking Shake. That's a different story. I think
Speaker 1: when he's in Steak and Shaker about the best there
Speaker 1: are when it comes to face food. But I regressed
Speaker 1: just a little bit picking up on what Michael had
Speaker 1: to say. Met him a couple times as serious. Money
Speaker 1: at Stake began fifteen years ago when OTR was a
Speaker 1: bombed out shell of Berlin in nineteen forty six. It's
Speaker 1: a problem. It was bad, but urban pioneers said, you
Speaker 1: know what, Washington Park is right here. And by the way,
Speaker 1: my family have deep roots in Washington Park. And of
Speaker 1: course TQL and FC wasn't on the horizon at that point.
Speaker 1: But it's a walkable community, excellent shall we say, architecture.
Speaker 1: And in the eighteen eighties eighteen nineties over the Rhine
Speaker 1: was a community with forty thousand people living in it.
Speaker 1: Forty thousand is now down to about seven thousand. And
Speaker 1: those who want to be urban pioneers, like the great
Speaker 1: Patrick Herringer who was murdered in his own home by
Speaker 1: Mordecai Black, want to locate in an area where they
Speaker 1: can build something up with their own hands. The politics
Speaker 1: fit what they want to do, but they need police
Speaker 1: protection of one type or another. And that's why Michael
Speaker 1: has put out the bat signal again to the city
Speaker 1: hall because he's got no responses at all to the
Speaker 1: delineation between lawlesses and illegal activity, and city council doesn't
Speaker 1: respond because it doesn't fit their diatrine. You cannot call
Speaker 1: seventy five to one hundred times over a six month
Speaker 1: period for police services and they don't show up. Otherwise
Speaker 1: believing right now that they don't care. Of course they
Speaker 1: don't care. And one of the inklings of why they
Speaker 1: don't care is that if it's a black business operating
Speaker 1: in the so called black community. I'm not sure OTR
Speaker 1: is majority black. It might be, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: To me, it's multiracial. That they don't want to come
Speaker 1: down hard on a black business owner because he can
Speaker 1: play the race card and get out from under. And
Speaker 1: that when you have a business in which there's guards
Speaker 1: at the front door with visible weapons on their hips,
Speaker 1: wearing kevlar, look like Ninja warriors, you may want to
Speaker 1: avoid going into that business. But on the other hand,
Speaker 1: there's elements in our society that consider thek avenjury or
Speaker 1: death part of the excitement of walking in. Maybe you
Speaker 1: and I should go there at some point and see
Speaker 1: what happens inside inside Privy on Elm Street, see what's
Speaker 1: going on. It's about thirteenth and fourteenth in Elm and
Speaker 1: see what's going on in there. Walk in at night.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'd be welcome, but nonetheless, take your
Speaker 1: life in your hands. And what's happening in OTR is
Speaker 1: and Pat and Michael brings it out is that police
Speaker 1: are not conducting police activities, that is, pulling people over
Speaker 1: for my which can be major offenses, leading to even
Speaker 1: more important crimes such as speeding, running through red lights,
Speaker 1: throwing trash out the window, open air drug use. That
Speaker 1: kind of stuff leads to other indicators that where's your license?
Speaker 1: I don't have a license. Show me your insurance. I
Speaker 1: don't have insurance as car registered, I'm not sure who
Speaker 1: owns it. I have no license plate.
Speaker 4: So be it.
Speaker 1: And what happens is that Scottie Johnson on City Council
Speaker 1: and lemon Kearney and others have told the police to
Speaker 1: be somewhat passive and enforcing crime in certain parts of town.
Speaker 1: This would never work, by the way, in Hyde Park
Speaker 1: or Oakley, that's different, and the residents there would like
Speaker 1: police services, they would like to have traffic laws enforced,
Speaker 1: but not in OTR, not in the Central Business District,
Speaker 1: because there's too many people pulled over that looks like
Speaker 1: Scottie Johnson. And so his point is when you pull
Speaker 1: somebody over, it opens up a can of worms. Can
Speaker 1: I see your license? Well, my license is suspended, all right,
Speaker 1: get out of the car. I'm not getting out of
Speaker 1: the car, I'm gonna I'm gonna arrest you. No, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna arrest me. Then your hands on with someone,
Speaker 1: and the police at all costs do not want that
Speaker 1: to Those hurt by these passive, flaccid policies tend to
Speaker 1: be the residents of the communities where these events take place.
Speaker 1: Overwhelmingly black communities are under police today and most of
Speaker 1: the residents want them to have proper policing, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't happen because of what it leads to. What it
Speaker 1: leads to are more offenses and more people being arrested
Speaker 1: in Room Ay and Hamiliny County Justice Center. Room May
Speaker 1: used to be in the Alms and Deputy building and
Speaker 1: now it's in the Justice Center. Used to be filled
Speaker 1: up the night before with a couple hundred people arrested,
Speaker 1: and the fact no matter is there's few of any
Speaker 1: people there doesn't happen anymore because well, city council and
Speaker 1: the mayor and the city manager does not want aggressive
Speaker 1: policing in the city of Cincinnati. A few hundred must
Speaker 1: go to jail, so a few hundred thousand can have
Speaker 1: a normal life until city council and now that they've
Speaker 1: all been reelected. Aid and Comb and Saw got reelected
Speaker 1: by wide margins, and the Mayor's been re elected. Instead
Speaker 1: of getting eighty three percent of the vote, he got
Speaker 1: eighty one percent of the vote. All the stuff in
Speaker 1: Hyde Park, etc. Amounted to him getting about eighty two
Speaker 1: percent of the vote in Hyde Park doesn't mount to
Speaker 1: hell of beans. So the message taken away from council
Speaker 1: is that what we're doing is acceptable. So the Michaels
Speaker 1: of this world, the developers who want to make a
Speaker 1: bus and take a shell of a building and turn
Speaker 1: into something productive every night kind of take their hat
Speaker 1: in their hands hoping it'll get shot or something bad happens.
Speaker 1: If there are no go zones in OTR, don't you
Speaker 1: think the police know where they are? Of course they do.
Speaker 1: So instead of setting up shop and no go zones,
Speaker 1: getting the small number of criminal elements out of OTR,
Speaker 1: they allow it to transpire because of the people. The
Speaker 1: color of the people getting arrested is not something that
Speaker 1: they desire. And once again Channel nineteen had a first
Speaker 1: Now Channel five had it with Karen Johnson last night
Speaker 1: Shari Piello, in which the so called slap of Alex
Speaker 1: Schravinsky resulting in this ultimate arrest because of the color
Speaker 1: of his skin. Was an event that was in reaction
Speaker 1: to other events that happened forty five seconds earlier. It
Speaker 1: was started by those six individuals who wanted to telling
Speaker 1: the so called white customers, you don't belong here. It's
Speaker 1: a black event, the music festival is a black event.
Speaker 1: Get off the street. And the first punches were thrown
Speaker 1: by one of the six members who were black, attacking
Speaker 1: Alex Stravinsky and then down the road. Forty five seconds later,
Speaker 1: he responded to the assaults on him by slapping somebody
Speaker 1: in the face. That resulted in his head being treated
Speaker 1: like a soccer ball on Elm Street. That's what started
Speaker 1: at all, and that's what started to Holly having the
Speaker 1: crap kicked out of her. But the racial individuals, the
Speaker 1: racial cloud from which they see through the racial prison
Speaker 1: on City Council indicated that they had to find somebody
Speaker 1: white to charge with the crime, and that was Alex Shavinski.
Speaker 1: And now that the case is going to be dismissed
Speaker 1: at some point, and his lawyer is going to make
Speaker 1: sure the case is going to be dismissed. Be Fortycember
Speaker 1: of the eighth. I assure you the city is not
Speaker 1: going to go to trial and have Alex's criminal attorney
Speaker 1: across examined, the mayor and the chief of police and
Speaker 1: the line officers, etc. That's not going to happen. Believe me,
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. And so Alex's attorney, Doug
Speaker 1: Brannon from Dayton, anticipate sometime soon now that the mayor
Speaker 1: has been re elected, that case will slowly go away.
Speaker 1: It would be a beautiful thing if on December the eighth,
Speaker 1: Alex Stravinsky, who was the man beaten to within an
Speaker 1: inch of his life, would actually go on trial for
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct and put all these city leaders on the
Speaker 1: stands to answer some questions. Do you think that's going
Speaker 1: to happen? Man, I don't think so. Not going to occur.
Speaker 1: So what does occur is that there are a lot
Speaker 1: of movements the Trump derangement syndrome, the chaos being created
Speaker 1: on a regular basis that attract disaffected and maladjusted individuals
Speaker 1: who blame external factors for the system or for the
Speaker 1: circumstances in which they find themselves and their lord. By
Speaker 1: many utopian promises of criticisms of society where the a
Speaker 1: lot in life is not defined by their personal choices
Speaker 1: but by external forces such as racism or classism, something
Speaker 1: like this. And ultimately, these so called left wing movements
Speaker 1: rely upon deceit in propaganda and leading the scapegoating violence
Speaker 1: and solitarianism. That's what's happening. I see it with Trump
Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome. This morning, yours truly happened to be watching
Speaker 1: MSNBC which is now ms NOW ms NOW, and they
Speaker 1: pointed out that this morning, about eight thirty am, the
Speaker 1: criminal case in Atlanta, Georgia against Donald Trump has resurrected itself.
Speaker 1: You might recall a couple of years before the election,
Speaker 1: when it was obvious Donald Trump might might want to
Speaker 1: get his old job back, Biden's in the White House.
Speaker 1: In the White House itself, they called meetings between New
Speaker 1: York City and Atlanta and other Blue city prosecutors to
Speaker 1: see who could file criminal charges against Donald Trump to
Speaker 1: keep chaos going. And they wanted the mug shots at
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and hopefully, hopefully the conviction of Donald Trump
Speaker 1: on a felony Alvin Bragg in New York City. He
Speaker 1: was successful and having some paperwork error result in thirty
Speaker 1: four felon accounts, which will be thrown out on appeal
Speaker 1: by the way. And then Fanny Willis and are a slim,
Speaker 1: shady wade her boyfriend had the case blow up in
Speaker 1: their face, but has been resurrected. And not just Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and numerous other criminal defendants associated with the President
Speaker 1: are now finding themselves in hot water once again in
Speaker 1: the criminal courts of Atlanta Fulton County. Of course, Fanny
Speaker 1: Willis is off the case, but now MSNBC seemed to
Speaker 1: be ms now and CNN as a flutter with the
Speaker 1: Georgia election case, and a new prosecutor has been appointed
Speaker 1: to prosecute Donald Trump and all those around him. Of course,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump cannot be prosecuted when he's in the White House.
Speaker 1: But no matter what else happens, in about three years
Speaker 1: he's out of the White House, he'll be like eighty
Speaker 1: three years old, and Fulton County wants to go after
Speaker 1: him again on criminal cases from the so called made
Speaker 1: up elector scheme of twenty twenty. Does Arizona State of
Speaker 1: Arizona have criminal charges against Donald Trump? They put on
Speaker 1: hold for him, but all the others around Donald Trump
Speaker 1: as chief of staff and about fifteen other people who
Speaker 1: can't afford this kind of nonsense are going to have
Speaker 1: face criminal charges. It's all part, shall we say, of chaos.
Speaker 1: Does the democratic chaos strategy work? I think it does.
Speaker 1: As soon as the election was over, they quickly had
Speaker 1: a jumped to some other horse to ride for a while.
Speaker 1: It became Jeffrey Epstein and that Donald Trump is a pedophile.
Speaker 1: No he's not. In fact, the evidence indicates he's been
Speaker 1: given a pass. He's been a clean bill of health
Speaker 1: by not just the Biden administration, who wouldn't prosecute him
Speaker 1: because there was nothing prosecuted about relative to Jeffrey Epstein,
Speaker 1: but all the other counties and Blues states and want
Speaker 1: to go after Donald Trump constantly. Do you think when
Speaker 1: he leaves office in three years that the Blue cities
Speaker 1: and the Blue states will say, Okay, we're done with that.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. They'll keep prosecuting him until he's dead. And
Speaker 1: democratic chaos it works. Chaos when it comes to Russian collusion, delusion,
Speaker 1: chaos when it comes to Obamacare, chaos with the criminal
Speaker 1: cases in Georgia being resurrected, Chaos against ice. Watching TV
Speaker 1: right now in Chicago, there's ice violence going on, fire
Speaker 1: bombings of Tesla's and all the injunctions issued against them.
Speaker 1: What happened in Berkeley, that this movement's on the left, live, die,
Speaker 1: and breathe chaos constantly espressed by Jasmine Crockett and AOC
Speaker 1: and Eric Swallwell and throw in other Democratic activists want
Speaker 1: to have chaos reigning supreme with the Republicans, and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is the object of chaos, calling him every rotten,
Speaker 1: filthy name of the book. And this morning the Trumpster
Speaker 1: on truth Social talked about the number of times that
Speaker 1: the name of Bill Gates and Bill Clinton and Larry
Speaker 1: Summers and other big time Democratic donors are mentioned inside
Speaker 1: the Epstein files. How much reporting have you seen on that? Correct?
Speaker 1: None doesn't happen. Donald Trump's name is mentioned. None of
Speaker 1: the victims have said that he sexually molested or raped
Speaker 1: them while they were in the employee I guess of
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, do you believe the victims? Liberals say, you
Speaker 1: got to believe the victims, or the victims say, including
Speaker 1: Virginia Goufrey, that Donald Trump was a complete gentleman. And
Speaker 1: so nothing comes of this until the media creates a
Speaker 1: diet tribe once again to keep the chaos going. And
Speaker 1: the chaos will continue. It will never stop, It will
Speaker 1: simply continue. This morning at Keem, Jeffries was on CNN
Speaker 1: Morning Shows talking about January the thirtieth, it continues. I said,
Speaker 1: what the Democrats are jeinting up? I guess how about
Speaker 1: this one seventy ten weeks away, about seventy six days.
Speaker 1: It's January the thirtieth. That's when the cr expires. They
Speaker 1: want to go through this again. They want they want
Speaker 1: the air system completely disheveled. They want those getting food
Speaker 1: stamps to get nothing. The Democratic approach is to have
Speaker 1: complete chaos and the media coverage confusing often the public.
Speaker 1: They can't sort it all out. They know the Republicans
Speaker 1: are in charge supposedly of everything, so they blame the
Speaker 1: public upheaval which just go away, but the media will
Speaker 1: not permit it. Every day they wake up with new
Speaker 1: claims against Donald Trump, about Jeffrey Epstein, about Tesla. It
Speaker 1: might be about crazy district court injunctions. It might be
Speaker 1: about street violence or fire bombings. It might be more ice.
Speaker 1: It might be more riots here, or there might be
Speaker 1: more Charlie Kirk type riots that chaos continues, and as
Speaker 1: an American, it's hard to sort it all out. But
Speaker 1: here in the mean streets of Cincinnati, those who live
Speaker 1: in OTR, including Michael No, there's certain no goes on
Speaker 1: owns in the City of Cincinnati, well known by the
Speaker 1: city of Police that refuse to enforce the law because
Speaker 1: they're told not to enforce it by share a long
Speaker 1: and you can't find her with a search warrant. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's continue the line ever becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand. Coming up after one o'clock is Katie Talento,
Speaker 1: and she worked for Donald Trump in twenty nineteen to
Speaker 1: try to improve Obamacare or get it killed. It is
Speaker 1: a dying federal government program costing a fortune that does
Speaker 1: not provide good medical care, and it's failing. It's in
Speaker 1: a death spiral. That means it must be doubled down
Speaker 1: and more money must be spent. More chaos. Let's continue
Speaker 1: twelve to fifty five, Home of your Bengals. Chaos and
Speaker 1: nihilism reigned. Supreme Bill Cunningham, with you every day, Bill Cunningham,
Speaker 1: the Great American. Of course, the healthcare prices in America
Speaker 1: has caused the shutdown of the government now opened, and
Speaker 1: watching one of the morning talk shows, King Jeffers is
Speaker 1: saying they have another bite at the apple in about
Speaker 1: ten weeks. January thirtieth is not that far away, and
Speaker 1: he says there might be another government shutdown happening, which
Speaker 1: is utterly ridiculous. Putting money into a failed system, a
Speaker 1: failed government program, doubling down on stupid is often what
Speaker 1: Democrats and what many in Washington do. Some are fighting
Speaker 1: against it. Katie Talento is the executive director of Alliance
Speaker 1: of Healthcare Sharing and first of all, Katie Talento tell us,
Speaker 1: can you give me, generally in the American people the
Speaker 1: status of health care in America today? Volumes have been
Speaker 1: written on that topic. But about out ninety three percent
Speaker 1: of us get either our health insurance or Medicare Medicaid
Speaker 1: from private plans, through employers or veterans or whatever. It
Speaker 1: might be about seven percent through the Obamacare exchanges, which
Speaker 1: have failed miserably. So, since you're in the industry, what
Speaker 1: is happening to us healthcare system in America in general
Speaker 1: and the response to it by government.
Speaker 5: Well, it's not a good situation though, Thanks for having me. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think the affordability crisis is hitting everybody, and so
Speaker 5: you know, premiums are up double digits this year for everyone,
Speaker 5: even if federal employee has got a twelve percent rate hike,
Speaker 5: So you know, they get no love for having been
Speaker 5: put out of work for you know, twenty seven weeks,
Speaker 5: but they have to now pay more for their insurance too,
Speaker 5: so at least they're suffering with the rest of us.
Speaker 5: I do think that this is going to become a
Speaker 5: campaign issue unfortunately, and Republicans are usually in trouble when
Speaker 5: healthcare becomes a campaign issue. You know, I was a
Speaker 5: veteran of the White House when we were doing repeal
Speaker 5: and replace back in the day, and I can tell
Speaker 5: you it's going to take longer than you know, five
Speaker 5: weeks for us to negotiate some sort of master plan here.
Speaker 5: So I think that if the Democrats want to have
Speaker 5: another shutdown, they will do that at their political peril.
Speaker 5: But you know, that may not be the best thing
Speaker 5: for the American people.
Speaker 1: At this point. What happened. I've done any topics the
Speaker 1: last few days weeks on the failure of Obamacare, in
Speaker 1: which is government subsidizing and billions of dollars It might
Speaker 1: be forty to fifty billion a year. Maybe you have
Speaker 1: the number that Washington sends directly to insurance companies under
Speaker 1: a promise to hold down premiums and to the seven
Speaker 1: percent twenty three million people on Obamacare. Why did Obamacare fail?
Speaker 5: So the promise to hold down premiums has not really
Speaker 5: been tested. Obviously, the premiums have skyrocketed. They've more than
Speaker 5: tripled since twenty ten when the bill was first enacted. However,
Speaker 5: affordability is sort of addressed by Obamacare because they just
Speaker 5: subsidize your overpriced premiums, and so the vast majority of
Speaker 5: people who are buying their plans on the Obamacare exchanges
Speaker 5: are getting premium subsidies, so their premiums are either free
Speaker 5: or they are largely subsidized. And that is truly the
Speaker 5: only way that you can keep anyone who is younger
Speaker 5: or healthier, or who is not sort of already sick
Speaker 5: from fleeing this market where it's so unaffordable that they.
Speaker 2: Don't see the value of it.
Speaker 5: But they need to have all these younger, healthy people
Speaker 5: in the insurance pool, or the insurers do, or else
Speaker 5: it'll go into what we call in the insurance business
Speaker 5: the death spiral where it's just sicker and older and
Speaker 5: sicker and older people every year, and then the premiums
Speaker 5: go up, and then a few more younger healthy people
Speaker 5: leave because they can't afford it anymore, and then it's
Speaker 5: older and sicker, and so this get you get into
Speaker 5: the spiral, and that's that's the death of an insurance product.
Speaker 5: So they have to force people to stay in the pool,
Speaker 5: and that's why it's failing. It was never a good
Speaker 5: value for young healthy people. When you're requiring these policies
Speaker 5: to cover everything from abortion and transurgeries to maternity writers
Speaker 5: for men and you know, preventive cap smears for men,
Speaker 5: you know, like this is this is too much. It's
Speaker 5: too much insurance coverage for what most people need, and
Speaker 5: it's not enough insurance coverage for the people who do
Speaker 5: need it because the deductibles are so high they can't
Speaker 5: even afford to use their plan when they do need it.
Speaker 5: So it's an absolute failure. I do think that there
Speaker 5: are promising alternatives out there, like health care sharing ministries,
Speaker 5: like health Savings account, like direct primary Care, which is
Speaker 5: sort of a Netflix subscription for unlimited primary care. And
Speaker 5: people are fleeing to these better alternatives that feel more
Speaker 5: human and feel more rational meeting their needs.
Speaker 1: Funding of failure is what Washington does, which is why
Speaker 1: Democrats want Obamacare to be funded. I spoke to a
Speaker 1: twenty eight year old who called in a couple a
Speaker 1: week or two ago, and this guy says, look, I
Speaker 1: was in Obamacare for like two years. I got out
Speaker 1: because I never I never used it. I never went
Speaker 1: to the er. I never I had a primary care physician,
Speaker 1: but I didn't feel a need to go. It was
Speaker 1: costing me seven hundred dollars a month, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: why am.
Speaker 6: I doing it?
Speaker 1: I got rid of it. Plus, he said to me, look,
Speaker 1: isn't it true, he called me uncle Bill. Isn't it true,
Speaker 1: uncle Bill, that if I have something bad happens to me,
Speaker 1: I can go to the er anyway and get care
Speaker 1: at the er, and if I can't pay for it,
Speaker 1: I can't pay for it. So why have insurance if
Speaker 1: I get the product anyway for nothing? How do you
Speaker 1: respond to him?
Speaker 5: He's exactly right, He's making completely rational choices. You can
Speaker 5: go to the er and they are required to treat
Speaker 5: you regardless of your coverage. Now you might end up
Speaker 5: with a really horrific bill being said to you. You
Speaker 5: might end up in collections over it, but at least
Speaker 5: you will be treated in that moment if you're having
Speaker 5: a life threatening issue. I totally sympathize with your caller
Speaker 5: because he's the exact reason why Obamacare is failing. Young
Speaker 5: healthy people. They just see no value in this product,
Speaker 5: and so why would they say, And so you're left
Speaker 5: with only healthy, unhealthy, expensive people driving up premiums so
Speaker 5: that it happens even worse next year. That's why this
Speaker 5: whole project has failed, and that's why we've got to
Speaker 5: seek alternatives. I was so encouraged by President Trump tweeting
Speaker 5: or rather truthing out in the past couple weeks about
Speaker 5: let's just stop putting money in insurers pocket and let's
Speaker 5: actually put it in health savings accounts for people so
Speaker 5: they can go buy what they want.
Speaker 1: Great idea, but a Keem Jeffries and the Democrats don't
Speaker 1: want any part of that because it puts the person
Speaker 1: in charge, not big time health insurers who pay them
Speaker 1: huge amounts of money and campaign I think the average
Speaker 1: America don't understand that. How about how much money every
Speaker 1: year goes from the US Treasury to big time health
Speaker 1: insurers in order to knock down the premiums of individuals
Speaker 1: who may not use the product at all. And how
Speaker 1: much money is the taxpayer funding healthcare insurance companies? How
Speaker 1: much money we're talking about about, It's.
Speaker 2: About a trillion dollars.
Speaker 1: I published with it with a trillion.
Speaker 5: With a team of Johns Hopkins researchers. A few years ago,
Speaker 5: we estimated that almost half forty seven percent of the
Speaker 5: entire United States budget goes towards some form of health care.
Speaker 1: If you're United healthcare, are you in the business having
Speaker 1: taken all this money from the government under Obamacare? Are
Speaker 1: you in the business and making sure that you're ensured
Speaker 1: have great healthcare at to low cost, or are you
Speaker 1: in the business of making money?
Speaker 5: Well, that's exactly right. You know, these giant companies we
Speaker 5: call them the Bukahs, Blue Cross, United, Signa at nine, Humana, Buca,
Speaker 5: and these these giant companies nobody had ever heard of
Speaker 5: some of them, you know, years ago, and now they're.
Speaker 2: On the Fortune fifty list.
Speaker 5: Their stockholders are loving it, living it up, and you know,
Speaker 5: their CEOs are living off they're billionaires. And you know, meanwhile,
Speaker 5: United Healthcare is denying a furtive every claim that comes
Speaker 5: to them, and most people think of their insurer like
Speaker 5: the cable company. They hate them. And so this is
Speaker 5: a product that nobody really wants to pay for because
Speaker 5: they don't see the value in it, and when they
Speaker 5: really need it, when they really need it, it's an
Speaker 5: absolute bureaucractic night there to use.
Speaker 1: Aren't the insurance companies because they are a for profit
Speaker 1: business in the business of denying claims and having high deductibilities.
Speaker 1: And that's true because I listened to a Keem Jeffries.
Speaker 1: If Republicans don't agree to this, you want people to
Speaker 1: be sick and die in hospitals. You don't want people
Speaker 1: to get medical care. In reality, the Democrats get millions
Speaker 1: of dollars in campaign donations from insurance companies, and aren't
Speaker 1: they in the business of making money and not in
Speaker 1: the business of providing healthcare?
Speaker 5: Well, the secret of the dirty little secret of healthcare
Speaker 5: is that the insurers are interested in high prices from hospitals,
Speaker 5: and hospitals are interested in lots of sick people. So
Speaker 5: when you get paid when people are sick and high
Speaker 5: price stuff is done to them, you're going to get
Speaker 5: more sickness and higher price stuff, and that's what we're
Speaker 5: seeing over and over again.
Speaker 1: You also say in this column you believe that the
Speaker 1: recent US government shutdown that ended after forty three days
Speaker 1: result of from protecting lucrative political donations from big healthcare insurance.
Speaker 1: And the media never asked a King Jeffries or Democrats
Speaker 1: the question, how come we're funding the BUCA, the large
Speaker 1: Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare and SIGNA. We're
Speaker 1: funding them and they're in the business of screwing the
Speaker 1: policy holders. Why isn't that brought up by the media.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, to be fair to these politicians.
Speaker 5: And let me tell you, the healthcare swamp funds all
Speaker 5: parties and every single one of them. You know, the
Speaker 5: pharma industry alone has four or five lobbyists for every
Speaker 5: member of Congress. So nobody is innocent here in DC.
Speaker 5: But I will tell you that you know, these people,
Speaker 5: they are in the business of making money and profiting
Speaker 5: off of our sickness. But the American people are also
Speaker 5: absolutely committed to having insurance at any cost.
Speaker 2: I mean, we have seen that.
Speaker 5: It's unfortunately, if you try to take i mean the
Speaker 5: battle scars from the repeal and replaced effort in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: If you try to take a.
Speaker 5: Single dollar away from insurance subsidies for even a small
Speaker 5: percentage of the American people, you will lose the next election.
Speaker 5: So I think the Republicans take this issue on at
Speaker 5: their peril. The Democrats take this issue on at their peril.
Speaker 5: It's very perils, just going to make everybody a little
Speaker 5: bit scared. So it'll be very interesting to see what
Speaker 5: happened over the next few weeks.
Speaker 1: You seem to say, almost Katie Talento of the Alliance
Speaker 1: for Health Care Sharing, it's almost a soluble problem that
Speaker 1: Democrats are incentivized to keep the issue front and center.
Speaker 1: By the way, Obamacare had little or nothing to do
Speaker 1: with the shutdown, because the shutdown was shutting down the
Speaker 1: whole government. So the Democrats said, look, we're not going
Speaker 1: to pay the soldiers, We're going to make TSC agents
Speaker 1: sleep in their cars, We're going to shut down snap,
Speaker 1: We're going to shut down the entire government on this
Speaker 1: unrelated issue of giving money to insurance companies out of
Speaker 1: the public treasury. And I think the American people bought
Speaker 1: it because politically, most of the polls now indicate this
Speaker 1: weekend that Republicans are blamed for the for the shutdown
Speaker 1: and not Democrats. So when Republicans voted to open the
Speaker 1: government and Democrats voted to close the government, the American
Speaker 1: people believe that the Republicans closed the government and the
Speaker 1: Democrats wanted to open the government, when in reality, the
Speaker 1: Republicans wanted to open the government and the Democrats wanted
Speaker 1: to close the government. You know what I'm saying, democratically,
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party.
Speaker 5: Won, no, I mean, they're in the civil war right
Speaker 5: now over. You know, they're eight traders who actually opened
Speaker 5: the governments. But those eight traders, the Democrats who voted
Speaker 5: with the Republicans to reopen the government government, they're the
Speaker 5: ones in the swing states, so they kind of know
Speaker 5: that this is not actually a good plan to just
Speaker 5: shut down not do their jobs for months on end.
Speaker 5: So I think Democrats that actually are in any kind
Speaker 5: of political peril, we're thanking these eight behind behind the back,
Speaker 5: behind the scenes all right now.
Speaker 1: And lastly, for those of us who receive healthcare from
Speaker 1: our employer, I work for a large company and it
Speaker 1: takes a degree in Chinese calculus to figure out all
Speaker 1: the plans and the deductibilities, and do you want this rider?
Speaker 1: Do you want that rider? Do you want prescriptive care?
Speaker 1: Do you want not want it? Do you want maternity care?
Speaker 1: I don't need that very much. Do I need transgender care?
Speaker 1: Which I don't think? God hope I never need that.
Speaker 1: So I leave it to my wife to decide what
Speaker 1: do we do. And according to polling, the majority of
Speaker 1: employee or employee based plans are popular with employees, which
Speaker 1: is about one hundred and fifty some million people. But
Speaker 1: still the cost keeps going up. If you're on Medicare
Speaker 1: Medicaid generally you pay little or nothing anyway. You don't
Speaker 1: have a dog in the fight. So can you tell
Speaker 1: me get out your crystal ball, Katie Talento? How does
Speaker 1: this issue resolve itself without a complete collapse of our
Speaker 1: medical system? How do we resolve it?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know that we're going to I'm very nervous.
Speaker 5: I'm very nervous that we're going to end up with
Speaker 5: single payer at some point because it is not a
Speaker 5: sustainable trajectory. And you're exactly right that those who are
Speaker 5: bearing the largest cost of this are wage earners at
Speaker 5: big employers who are actually paying for most healthcare in
Speaker 5: this country. You're right, half those country is insured on
Speaker 5: the job. And those companies, you know, they have some
Speaker 5: other core mission that's not running a health plan, but
Speaker 5: they're now in the health insurance business, and that business
Speaker 5: is absolutely spiraling. And so it's a huge crisis for
Speaker 5: every company. And so if we don't get this under control,
Speaker 5: I fear very much it will be the business community
Speaker 5: that pressures Congress to have a complete government takeover.
Speaker 1: Of health care. Lastly, explain single payer. I have a
Speaker 1: pretty good grasp of what it is that everyone under medicare.
Speaker 1: Explain to the average Americans what is single payer, how
Speaker 1: would it work, and why is it a bad idea?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so single payer is what every other country in
Speaker 5: the world, literally every other country in the world, has
Speaker 5: decided to do about healthcare, where the government actually pays
Speaker 5: for healthcare, and they do it. In some countries like
Speaker 5: Israel and Germany, they basically do it like an Obamacare
Speaker 5: on steroids, where it's all filter through insurance companies which
Speaker 5: are just agents of the state. But at least you
Speaker 5: pick an insurance plan like Medicare Advantage for instance. But
Speaker 5: other countries like the UK or like Canada, you know,
Speaker 5: they just have the government. You just walk into the
Speaker 5: government clinic and the government hospital and there are no
Speaker 5: insurance companies. And the reason why this is a problem,
Speaker 5: and I mean again like there are trade offs, right
Speaker 5: for some services like primary care, it's a much better
Speaker 5: experience and it's much more sane in these countries where
Speaker 5: you have easy and free and unlimited access to primary
Speaker 5: care and preventive care. But what happens in these situations
Speaker 5: is when it comes times that you need specialty care,
Speaker 5: there is rationing and long lines, and you don't get
Speaker 5: the best technology, and you don't get the timely treatment,
Speaker 5: and cancer patients are waiting and people with you know
Speaker 5: who neednee replacements are waiting for years. There are people
Speaker 5: who die on the wait list for their knee replacement.
Speaker 5: So it's just it's not a good situation, and America
Speaker 5: has chosen a different path. I hope that we figure
Speaker 5: a way out of this. There are some innovative and
Speaker 5: creative ideas out there, like health care sharing ministries, like
Speaker 5: health savings accounts for everyone. I think that might help
Speaker 5: as we as you know, President Trump actually implemented when
Speaker 5: I was there, a price transparency initiative forcing hospitals and
Speaker 5: insurers to post their secret prices publicly in an effort
Speaker 5: to try to create a healthcare market. What we have
Speaker 5: right now is either free nor market in healthcare. So
Speaker 5: to the extent that we can force an actual christ
Speaker 5: competition in health care, we might just be able to
Speaker 5: pull this thing off. But it's going to take a
Speaker 5: miracle from God.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, Katie Talento, Executive director of Alliance of health Care Sharing,
Speaker 1: you've laid it out, and I fear this issue is
Speaker 1: too easy to demagogue, which means sure, I had it
Speaker 1: toured within ten years of Medicare for All system in
Speaker 1: which you will ration healthcare, and it's going to be
Speaker 1: similar to Canada. And most of my Canadian friends get
Speaker 1: their medical services of any exceptional quality or quantity from
Speaker 1: the United States. They don't stick in Canada because they
Speaker 1: get a knee replacement or they have cancer treatment. It's
Speaker 1: taking months, it'll die on the list before it's replaced.
Speaker 1: And if someone needs a knee replacement in America, you
Speaker 1: can get it. You get it a week from Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Katie Talento, you're a great American. Laid out the problems
Speaker 1: once again. Thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show,
Speaker 1: and Katie, you're a great American.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.

Speaker 9: that and they wouldn't be denied for sure.
Speaker 1: Three overall and two back to back to back. Is

Speaker 1: Next up introduced this another fine senior goalkeeper, Mikayla Michaela.
Speaker 1: Come on up here, Michaela. Was there a point in
Speaker 1: this season you had a doubt whether Madere would win
Speaker 1: again a state title? Where was it unlikely when you
Speaker 1: played deer Park you could even compete against that school?
Speaker 1: Or did you have doubts you could beat deer Park?
Speaker 7: Next?

Speaker 1: All right, Next up, goalkeeping coach? The coach up, she
Speaker 1: lives in deer Park. Correct? In fact, my pseudo, I
Speaker 1: think got his chops at deer Park. His assistant super into.
Speaker 1: Now tell me about the girls. Is the goaltender coach?
Speaker 1: What is these goaltenders brought to the table that you
Speaker 1: taught them? Otherwise they would have lost the championship. What
Speaker 1: did you teach them?
Speaker 10: Well, they have quite the eagerness to learn. Actually, a
Speaker 10: fun fact about Mikayla. She three years ago was a
Speaker 10: field player and so she embraced this role on the
Speaker 10: team of goalkeeper that we asked her.
Speaker 1: To and big hat got big hands.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, good hands, that's for sure.
Speaker 10: So very proud of her.
Speaker 1: Now. In the last game, Coach Brady, tell me what happened.
Speaker 1: The game started, the ball was left, the ball was right,
Speaker 1: it was kicked up in the air, owheaders were reused,
Speaker 1: and knees ankles. Tell me about the last game.
Speaker 9: So the last game we were we played the same
Speaker 9: teams we played last year to us Joy's township.
Speaker 1: Well, how bad you beat them last year? We beat
Speaker 1: them three to zero last year consistent, So you beat
Speaker 1: them six to zero two games.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, so we didn't really know what to expect, but
Speaker 9: we did score relatively early again for the second time.
Speaker 1: Makes a big difference.
Speaker 9: It makes a big difference when you got the best
Speaker 9: defense in the state. And I think it gave us
Speaker 9: a lot of confident. Yeah, that's right, seg.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they could play for the Bengals in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: They played that kind of defense. Gave me some sports
Speaker 1: and make it fast. These kids want to answer some
Speaker 1: tough questions because We're going to see how good the
Speaker 1: Madeira education is.

Speaker 3: That's him?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 1: The goalkeeper got that she had a kick saved right there? Girls. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: I'll see most of you next year. Bill cunning In
Speaker 1: the Great American Life, It's remember the Bengals News Radio
Speaker 1: seven hundred wl WINT Dave Keaton hit the music the
Speaker 1: Boy you think It's over and has just begun. I
Speaker 1: think many of us, be included had taught the Georgia
Speaker 1: criminal cases again. Donald Trump had evaporated after the misdeeds
Speaker 1: of Fanny Willis and Nathan Wade. But no, they have
Speaker 1: not gone away. It was announced this morning that a
Speaker 1: new state Georgia prosecutor has been appointed in order to
Speaker 1: pursue the criminal charges against Donald Trump and most of
Speaker 1: his associates, to lock them up in Georgia state jails. Now,
Speaker 1: in Donald Trump's case, that will not happen, nor can
Speaker 1: a trial take place until after his presidency has concluded.
Speaker 1: At that point, according to prosecutor, had just heard him
Speaker 1: with Matt Reese talk about breaking down the cases in
Speaker 1: a smaller, more digestible modules so that a overall grand
Speaker 1: conspiracy or rico case would not lie. So that means
Speaker 1: that the current Georgia State prosecutor is going to look
Speaker 1: at ways of charging Donald Trump in about fifteen to
Speaker 1: twenty other associates of trying to fix the Georgia election,
Speaker 1: which of course did not have failed miserably. It didn't work.
Speaker 1: Georgia was one, as you might recall by Donald Trump, etc.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, by Biden and the US Senators, And what
Speaker 1: they want to do, somehow is to change the outcome
Speaker 1: of the election. What they want to do is prosecute
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and everyone else. So if you're Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: it's something thunder on the horizon that may come back
Speaker 1: to you in two or three years plus from now,
Speaker 1: when you're eighty three years old. You could be sitting
Speaker 1: in a Georgia state courtroom like you did in New
Speaker 1: York City with Alvin Bragg, fending off these ridiculous charges.
Speaker 1: But if you're one of the twelve to fifteen other
Speaker 1: individuals who simply were around Donald Trump, like his chief
Speaker 1: of staff, like Meadows, like his chief economic advisor, like
Speaker 1: those involved in the effort to count ballots in the
Speaker 1: state of Georgia, your behavior is now criminal and they're
Speaker 1: coming after you and most normal Americans you're and me included.
Speaker 1: We cannot afford to have a half million dollars or
Speaker 1: more in legal fees to pay out. And that assumes
Speaker 1: that you're found not guilty. If you're found guilty, and
Speaker 1: then the criminal appeal process starts, and you'll be at
Speaker 1: this for the next several years trying to fend off
Speaker 1: criticisms that you were in some conspiracy with Donald Trump
Speaker 1: to send a different slate of electors to Washington from
Speaker 1: the state of Georgia, which, by the way, has happened
Speaker 1: repeatedly in American history. Now, it happened repeatedly when we
Speaker 1: didn't have means of communication we have today. But it
Speaker 1: was not unusual for two sets of electors to go
Speaker 1: from Iowa to Washington, d C. In the early part
Speaker 1: of the twentieth century, and then the House would determine
Speaker 1: which state of electors to sit and they're the ones
Speaker 1: that vote. It's happened repeatedly. But now this has been
Speaker 1: criminalized by Fanny Willison by the Democratic Party again, same
Speaker 1: things occurring in the state of Arizona, where a presidential
Speaker 1: partner commutation doesn't lie, it's a state charge. And so
Speaker 1: talk about the threats to democracy, talk about weaponizing the
Speaker 1: law because of one's political persuasion. It's been going on
Speaker 1: against Donald Trump now forbout the last ten years, and
Speaker 1: this can continuing. When I had on Eric Trump, we
Speaker 1: scheduled have Eric Trump come on again next week. Talk
Speaker 1: about what's happened to his family since the president decided
Speaker 1: to run for office. They're attacking through all means necessary unnecessary.
Speaker 1: So the whole Georgia thing, many thought, Okay, that's going
Speaker 1: to go away, that's not going to work, that'll never fly. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what, it's back. It's back again with a vengeance.
Speaker 1: And so maybe some of the twelve to fifteen other
Speaker 1: criminal defendants indicted by Fanny Willis who don't have the
Speaker 1: presidency to protect them, may be in the criminal court
Speaker 1: in the middle of next year on charges that carried
Speaker 1: ten years in prison. And those are the games the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party play. Same thing in Arizona, same thing in
Speaker 1: New York City. Alvin Bragg took payments to a porn
Speaker 1: star and said that the Donald did not put her
Speaker 1: name on the forms making a campaign donation when she
Speaker 1: was paid off. Now that is not the right of
Speaker 1: a state prosecutor to do it. But Donald was convicted.
Speaker 1: His sentence was cr which means costs permitted. But he's
Speaker 1: still appealing that. And so when you associate with Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party wants to make it sure that you
Speaker 1: know there's consequences of state, local, city, county, and federal
Speaker 1: prosecutors that will come after you. In fact, King Jeffries
Speaker 1: and others said that if in when they seize the
Speaker 1: presidency again, which might happen in twenty eight, they're going
Speaker 1: to continue to weaponize the Department of Justice against Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and the Republicans go back after them again and
Speaker 1: again and again. When does it stop. I have no
Speaker 1: idea when it stops, but I know for America it's
Speaker 1: not a good thing. So we'll see what happens down
Speaker 1: the road. And that's something to keep your eye on,
Speaker 1: because they're coming after him through any means necessary, you know.
Speaker 1: Every now and then I like to do a little
Speaker 1: bit of a week in review of what we've done
Speaker 1: this week. If you miss the day, you miss a lot.
Speaker 1: There was a poll taken that's seventy percent of Tri
Speaker 1: State residents if you would have picked one radio station
Speaker 1: to listen to and none other, it would be this one.
Speaker 1: And so I take that seriously. On Monday, I had
Speaker 1: on Senator John Euston from Ohio about the shutdown what
Speaker 1: was going to happen a day or two later, and
Speaker 1: Euston to pointed out that by voting to keep the
Speaker 1: government open as John Eusta did. The media is saying
Speaker 1: he's trying to shut down the government, and when US
Speaker 1: senators of the Democratic Persuasion voted seventeen times to keep
Speaker 1: the government shut down, the media says what they were
Speaker 1: trying to do was open the government, which is an
Speaker 1: incredible juxtaposition to reality. That's not the case. In fact,
Speaker 1: this morning I watched the game Jeffries talk again about
Speaker 1: what's going to happen January the thirtieth. He was on
Speaker 1: MSNBC soon to become ms now the leader of the
Speaker 1: Democrats in the House said on June twenty ninth, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: On January twenty eighth, twenty ninth, and thirtieth, they're going
Speaker 1: to again to try to have the American people pay
Speaker 1: for a debt spiral of Obamacare to keep it propped
Speaker 1: up with your tax dollars. And he says we may
Speaker 1: shut down the government again, and this time he thinks
Speaker 1: it will last longer than forty three days. This is absurd,
Speaker 1: it is wrong. If the media covered it correctly, we'd
Speaker 1: have different outcomes. Pursuing there too. I had on Curtis
Speaker 1: Howk of the Media Research Center, and they record all
Speaker 1: the ABCNBCCBS, and the PBS broadcast in NPR. Ninety one
Speaker 1: percent of the media coverage was blaming the Republicans for
Speaker 1: the shutdown, even though the Republicans voted against the shutdown
Speaker 1: and given credit to the Democrats, even though the Democrats
Speaker 1: voted to keep the government shut down. Many of the
Speaker 1: American people were so confused with what's going on they
Speaker 1: simply blamed Donald Trump. And how do we get out
Speaker 1: of this cycle? I have no clue. As many said
Speaker 1: in the beginning and the founding this great nation, it's
Speaker 1: a republic if you can keep it. And that means
Speaker 1: that if the mass means of communication have failed, and
Speaker 1: that more and more individuals can't trust what they hear
Speaker 1: in the mainstream media. About seventy five percent don't trust
Speaker 1: what they hear and what they see because they don't
Speaker 1: believe it's truthful. Where do you get necessary information upon
Speaker 1: which you can cast an inform ballid hopefully places begin
Speaker 1: like right here and on Tuesday and on Congressman Soldier
Speaker 1: brad Winstrop retired as a colonel, and he talked about
Speaker 1: the politics of the shutdown, which ended, of course, and
Speaker 1: they were getting ready to vote on Wednesday to open
Speaker 1: up the government, and brad winstro pointed out that the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, when they're out of power, is in the
Speaker 1: business of suing and prosecuting Republicans, and secondly, they're in
Speaker 1: the business of blaming the other side for the failures
Speaker 1: of their policies, most of which was the Unaffordable Care Act,
Speaker 1: which told to Americans not covered by insurance anywhere else,
Speaker 1: come into the exchanges. The government will make a lot
Speaker 1: of the payments for you. Your Obama promised that twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars a year would go down in premium payments.
Speaker 1: He promised that Obamacare would cause the deficit to be
Speaker 1: reduced by four trillion dollars, and that the average premium
Speaker 1: would continue to go down because more people were in
Speaker 1: the pool. As things turned out, As I pointed out
Speaker 1: about an hour or so ago, I have a relative
Speaker 1: of mind who calls me uncle Willie, who called me
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old. And so I've been in the
Speaker 1: Obamacare exchanges now for two years. I'm a young, healthy
Speaker 1: male and I'm covered in a sense for medical care
Speaker 1: because I can go to the er to get coverage.
Speaker 1: Because you can't turn me down. Why do I pay
Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars a month with a five thousand dollars deductible,
Speaker 1: So he pays about what about eighty four hundred dollars
Speaker 1: a year in premiums. He's got a five thousand dollars deductible.
Speaker 1: That means he's got to have he's got to have pay.
Speaker 1: He's got to have bills of about thirteen and a
Speaker 1: half thousand dollars each year before he gets a nicola coverage.
Speaker 1: He said, this is stupid. I'm dropping my Obamacare. And
Speaker 1: I said, well, if you do that and you have
Speaker 1: to go to the er if something serious happened and
Speaker 1: a single pay, which is you, it means that you'll
Speaker 1: be charged and if you don't pay, they'll send you
Speaker 1: to collections if you can't work it out. He said,
Speaker 1: I don't want that either to ruin my credit. I said,
Speaker 1: good point. So decide which way you want to go.
Speaker 3: Stay in.
Speaker 1: Do an exchange that you don't use that cost about
Speaker 1: fourteen thousand dollars a year as a young person before
Speaker 1: you get to have a nickel of coverage. And if
Speaker 1: you don't do that, you may have bad credit for
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. And so when this comes up,
Speaker 1: I mentioned this to my guest about an hour ago.
Speaker 1: This is all headed toward a single pair system in
Speaker 1: which medicare what's like in most of Western Europe. It's
Speaker 1: like the DMV. You're not charging anything as part of
Speaker 1: your taxes, but care is to minimus. There's no great
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical discoveries that doctor carryoucus is don't work in that environment.
Speaker 1: Many persons that are younger don't want to get into
Speaker 1: medical care. It's too expensive. And when you put thirty
Speaker 1: million additional people into the country, thirty million illegals, on
Speaker 1: top of the twenty million already here, maybe fifty million
Speaker 1: people live in this country, they shouldn't be here. Housing
Speaker 1: will go up, emergency use will go up, the public
Speaker 1: schools will get more crowded, and average Americans like you
Speaker 1: and I will pay the burden of all that. So
Speaker 1: it is sick and it's sad, and it's the way
Speaker 1: things are. And then later on Wednesday, we had the
Speaker 1: big vote on Wednesday night in the past, but you
Speaker 1: and I heard from Congressman Warren Davidson who talked about
Speaker 1: the fact there will be two or three Republicans that
Speaker 1: are going to shall I say, vote to keep the
Speaker 1: government shut down. The great majority of ninety seven percent
Speaker 1: voted to open it up. But he said there will
Speaker 1: be four or five Democrats who have some common sense
Speaker 1: that live in swing districts that can't vote that way.
Speaker 1: And so the Democratic Party voted to make sure TSA
Speaker 1: agents continue to sleep in their cars, that soldiers are
Speaker 1: not paid, that the hunger are not fed. But if
Speaker 1: you ask the American people, the polling came out today
Speaker 1: in one source that the Republicans were blamed for the
Speaker 1: shutdown and not the Democrats. So they know the end
Speaker 1: of January, the primaries are going to be in many
Speaker 1: states in March, April, and May getting ready for the midterm.
Speaker 1: So the Democratic Party once again will say we want
Speaker 1: to keep alive and intact a failing, large, expensive government
Speaker 1: program that benefits less than seven percent of the American
Speaker 1: people and call it healthcare when it's not healthcare. And
Speaker 1: then yesterday I also had on Kully Stimpson of the
Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation about what's happening at cal Berkeley. In fact,
Speaker 1: many college campuses that Charlie Lark legacy continues, but on
Speaker 1: many college campuses you can't express certain viewpoints of a
Speaker 1: conservative Christian character otherwise you'll be have your tables turned
Speaker 1: over and you'll be assaulted. And thank god the EUSt
Speaker 1: Department of Justice Civil Rights Division is going to be
Speaker 1: out there to hold accountable in Berkeley, which is the
Speaker 1: free speech, free speech haven, the idea that all speech,
Speaker 1: especially this kind of speech, should get some benefits. And lastly,
Speaker 1: today add on Michael whose last name must be saved,
Speaker 1: a big time developer and OTR you miss the day,
Speaker 1: you miss a lot. He talked about the daily risk
Speaker 1: of living and to OTR he talked about the seven
Speaker 1: figure investments he made in apartment buildings. In fact, there's
Speaker 1: a bar there called Privies, which is violent, in which
Speaker 1: four people were shot about a week ago. That every day,
Speaker 1: every night when they let out his open air drug use,
Speaker 1: there's lots of blood running in the streets in and
Speaker 1: around Privy. He's complained many times as many OTR residents
Speaker 1: have complained to city council to share along at that purival.
Speaker 1: Get no return calls. But the most important two things
Speaker 1: he said. I think Michael said is that there are
Speaker 1: no go zones in OTR. That if you live in OTR,
Speaker 1: which he does, he knows which streets to go on
Speaker 1: to which streets not to go on to in OTR,
Speaker 1: and the police know what streets to go on to,
Speaker 1: which streets not to go on to. He also said
Speaker 1: that the gunfire is a frequent part of what occurs.
Speaker 1: I know Channel nine is tried now repeatedly to get
Speaker 1: shot spotter out of OTR. A captain sent me a
Speaker 1: shot spot or detailer when shots are fired in the
Speaker 1: last ninety days. If you took a blank piece of
Speaker 1: white paper and took some black pepper and shook it
Speaker 1: on the paper repeatedly, you'll get some idea that there's
Speaker 1: thousands of shots fired every month in OTR in the
Speaker 1: central Business District that generally don't hit people. You might
Speaker 1: be wounded, four to five hundred are wounded, but most
Speaker 1: are not killed. And I think Michael made the point
