Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, the Grant America. Well, welcome this Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: The tries did coming up on Friday. It's a big
Speaker 1: news conference with Duke Tobin in the direction of the Bengals.
Speaker 1: But until then, Mayet Cook, you're a Fox News contributor
Speaker 1: and attorney, and you've done a lot of investigations in
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio, which is piggybacked on what's happening
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. The hearings are underway there and also in
Speaker 1: the state of Maine. And I can only imagine the
Speaker 1: fraud that's present in the so called Blue Cities and
Speaker 1: Blue states when it comes to daycare fraud and autism fraud,
Speaker 1: and medicaid fraud, transportation fraud, foods and fraud. But maheck Cook,
Speaker 1: first of all, can you tell the American people what
Speaker 1: is happening? What is your investigation shown so far in
Speaker 1: the Columbus area and the great state of Ohio.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 3: I am looking both at home health care services and daycares.
Speaker 3: I have visited a building with about thirty four home
Speaker 3: healthcare services here in Columbus, Ohio, and was able to
Speaker 3: talk to one or two businesses. One was not able
Speaker 3: to provide much information about how home healthcare services work.
Speaker 3: So if you have an aging grandparent or a parent,
Speaker 3: she said she really didn't know how it worked.
Speaker 2: And the second office did sit.
Speaker 3: Me down and explain to me that I could go
Speaker 3: through a process with insurance, But for the most part,
Speaker 3: the lights were off, the doors were locked, nobody was available.
Speaker 3: This is my third visit there, and I'm just wondering
Speaker 3: how these businesses are operating given that they're getting state funding.
Speaker 3: Who are they How are they operating? How do you
Speaker 3: operate a business when you don't show up for three days?
Speaker 3: And unfortunately, the last day that I was there, I
Speaker 3: was encountered.
Speaker 2: By three individuals.
Speaker 3: That were of Somalian descent that cornered me and said
Speaker 3: that they would not be providing services, and I said
Speaker 3: that was fine, and then they continued to scream at
Speaker 3: me and try to intimidate me and say that I
Speaker 3: should not be asking these questions. That I am Indian
Speaker 3: and not white, but has nothing to do with the
Speaker 3: fact that anybody can walk through a door and ask
Speaker 3: simple questions. But I think they have a real problem.
Speaker 3: They think for some reason they're going to scare me
Speaker 3: with the racist word that they can't because I'm not white.
Speaker 3: And this is what the whole community has continued to say,
Speaker 3: You're not white. This is not a white or black issue.
Speaker 3: This is a are you committing fraud or not?
Speaker 2: Issue? And so that has.
Speaker 3: Been insanely disturbing to me that you can't answer simple questions.
Speaker 3: And then on the daycare front, I mean, I'll be honest,
Speaker 3: we're not seeing any kids. We've maybe seen one facility
Speaker 3: with a few kids, but the kids were both referring
Speaker 3: to the owner or the individual talking to us as mom,
Speaker 3: which is fine. You can take care of your kids
Speaker 3: in a daycare. Many of them are run down, many
Speaker 3: of them are filthy. I've had three assaults of three
Speaker 3: different daycares by just simply knocking you. Hear a click,
Speaker 3: they let you in, and then they're violently attacking you.
Speaker 3: Most of these daycares don't have children. There's only two
Speaker 3: that have allowed me to come in and ask basic questions,
Speaker 3: and only one of them has actually been able to
Speaker 3: give me an application for a child and tell me
Speaker 3: how much it costs. So when you ask questions about attendance,
Speaker 3: I also learned that you can basically forget to sign
Speaker 3: in your child. According to the State of Ohio, we
Speaker 3: have the best system, but you can forget to sign
Speaker 3: in your child and they can retroactively sign in children.
Speaker 2: So suddenly I have questions about attendance.
Speaker 3: I mean, these are issues in our compliance and our
Speaker 3: audit system, and we should be asking questions. And the
Speaker 3: elephant in the room right now is yes, majority are
Speaker 3: Somalian owned.
Speaker 2: This isn't targeted.
Speaker 3: This is the community that is running these daycares and
Speaker 3: home healthcare centers, and that's what we're looking into.
Speaker 1: Talk about the scam relative to home healthcare. I've seen
Speaker 1: all your videos, and one of the videos I saw
Speaker 1: looked as if these guys are about to assault you.
Speaker 1: They use the F bomb, use racial epithets, and they're Somalis,
Speaker 1: but nonetheless seem to work in Minnesota. You simply raise
Speaker 1: their racial flag and seeming like the Ellison and Waltz
Speaker 1: and Fry, the mayor, the attorney General of the governor
Speaker 1: of Minnesota simply back off completely. In fact, Keith Ellison,
Speaker 1: I watch it so you don't have to on MS
Speaker 1: now and he was talking about, yes, there is some fraud,
Speaker 1: however it's being handled internally. There have been numerous convictions,
Speaker 1: dozens of convictions for fraud, with ninety five percent being
Speaker 1: of Somali origin. But how does the healthcare scandal work?
Speaker 1: And not just in Ohio, guess in every state? How
Speaker 1: does one sign up to care for an aging parent
Speaker 1: and have the government pay you?
Speaker 3: Well, look, I think it's going to be different in
Speaker 3: every state, but Ohio, Pennsylvania, obviously, Minnesota, their standards are
Speaker 3: I would say lower. You are allowed as a child
Speaker 3: to take care of your aging parent or a grandparent.
Speaker 3: So the way that the alleged fraud is occurring right
Speaker 3: now in Ohio is I sign up to take care
Speaker 3: of my mother. I take her to a doctor. I
Speaker 3: ask that doctor to approve her for home health care
Speaker 3: because she is old and she has a lot of.
Speaker 2: Aches and pains.
Speaker 3: The providers pushed back and said, your mother doesn't qualify. Well,
Speaker 3: then I go and find another doctor who's willing to
Speaker 3: There's several doctors in town that have now been identified as.
Speaker 2: Part of this alleged fraud. They'll rubber stamp it.
Speaker 3: Many of them allegedly are getting a kickback because now
Speaker 3: that you've rubber stamped it, I'm making money Right between
Speaker 3: twelve hours. So let's say I need a lot of
Speaker 3: care for my mother twenty four hours, so I can
Speaker 3: sit at home and apparently take care of my mother
Speaker 3: for seventy five to ninety thousand dollars. Now I say
Speaker 3: my dad needs home health care, that's one hundred and
Speaker 3: eighty thousand.
Speaker 2: Then I moved my husband's parents into my home.
Speaker 3: I mean, all of this racks up for individuals that
Speaker 3: many of them don't need home health care services, and
Speaker 3: there's one individual, one provider that's basically pocketing the money,
Speaker 3: and many of them are allegedly getting kickbacks for helping.
Speaker 3: Some of these individuals are going door to door to
Speaker 3: recruit more individuals, and the services are not being provided
Speaker 3: because many of these people really don't need home healthcare services.
Speaker 2: It's a massive scam. It needs to be looked into.
Speaker 3: We need to revise the way that we're just handing
Speaker 3: out taxpair dollars. And my bigger issue with all of
Speaker 3: this is how do you come from another country to
Speaker 3: America The first thing you sign up for is welfare.
Speaker 2: That's a red flag for me.
Speaker 1: Well, it happened in Minnesota and Columbus is the second
Speaker 1: highest population of Somalis. Is this a Somali problem or
Speaker 1: is it a welfare problem? Because most of those who
Speaker 1: have gained the system so far have been Somalis, most
Speaker 1: not even here legally, most are not citizens. But is
Speaker 1: this a Somali problem or an American problem?
Speaker 2: It's both.
Speaker 3: It's both to sit and demonize, and I will not
Speaker 3: do this. I know people love to corner me on this.
Speaker 3: I think you would agree with me. I think immigrants
Speaker 3: value to our country. But what I have unfortunately seen
Speaker 3: from the Somali population, many of them have benefited off
Speaker 3: of a welfare system, and many of them, at least
Speaker 3: in Minnesota, based on indictments, there's alleged fraud. So there's
Speaker 3: a massive problem in the system, and there's a massive
Speaker 3: problem in the population.
Speaker 2: And it's not only Somali. I said this many.
Speaker 3: Weeks ago on Sean Hannedy's show, it's bootees, And look,
Speaker 3: President Trump just came out with the truth social thing.
Speaker 3: Boot needs are the number one recipients of welfare. So
Speaker 3: when you put blocks of people in the United States
Speaker 3: together who've never been asked to assimilate, who don't speak
Speaker 3: English well, and then somebody is teaching them how to
Speaker 3: gain the system, whether it's welfare and home healthcare or daycares.
Speaker 2: That's how fraud occurs.
Speaker 3: And then in the state of Ohio, we have to
Speaker 3: actually audit our audit system because there's loopholes. We need
Speaker 3: to get in a room with US attorneys and the
Speaker 3: DOJ to talk about all the problems with our legislature,
Speaker 3: all the problems with the Department of Youth Services, and
Speaker 3: come up with a plan, a better audit, a better checklist.
Speaker 3: The fact that people are saying in government there's nothing
Speaker 3: to see here as a red flag to me because
Speaker 3: they're not doing their job. They're just pushing paperwork back
Speaker 3: and forth. Paperwork doesn't tell you if there's fraud. You
Speaker 3: actually have to use your.
Speaker 2: Eyes and ears.
Speaker 3: That's what I want from state officeholders today to actually
Speaker 3: take this seriously and to change the system.
Speaker 1: Well, one other area of fraud, and Nick Shirley is
Speaker 1: doing great work. I can't imagine a twenty two year
Speaker 1: old YouTuber uncovering billions of dollars worth of fraud in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: He posted a video he said, in Minnesota, there's more
Speaker 1: than one thousand fraudulent medical transportation companies. In fact, one
Speaker 1: transportation company received four million dollars in one month for
Speaker 1: transporting patients to and from appointments when there was It's
Speaker 1: impossible when you do the math for this one company
Speaker 1: to have done that. And is that another area ripe
Speaker 1: with fraud? To say, some patient has an appointment with
Speaker 1: a doctor who's on the take, you take them from
Speaker 1: your home to the doctor and doctor and back and
Speaker 1: do that repeatedly. Is that also ripe with fraud? The
Speaker 1: Medicaid transportation system with all these ambulances so to speak,
Speaker 1: that don't exist.
Speaker 3: Yes, all of the anytime you have taxpayer dollars going out,
Speaker 3: it's not my money or your money, it's our collective
Speaker 3: money that is going in. And the state then is
Speaker 3: abusing the system by allowing for something like this to occur.
Speaker 3: We have to audit every welfare program. I have not
Speaker 3: looked into medical transport. I am up to my ears
Speaker 3: between individuals that have come out as whistleblowers that are
Speaker 3: giving me evidence, but one hundred percent, I mean, this
Speaker 3: is a systematic issue with the American system of welfare,
Speaker 3: and so we have to look at ourselves too and
Speaker 3: say what did we do wrong and how do we
Speaker 3: fix it?
Speaker 2: But we can't say it's the cost of doing business.
Speaker 3: We actually have to roll up our sleep and do
Speaker 3: something different otherwise this is a definition of insanity.
Speaker 4: To me.
Speaker 1: You used the term cost of doing business. There was
Speaker 1: an interview that one of the PR directors for Governor
Speaker 1: Mike DeWine who said that some fraud is the cost
Speaker 1: of doing business. And when I saw that, I thought,
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? How's that a cost of doing business?
Speaker 1: And I guess, as in ohioan most of the other
Speaker 1: states are blue cities, blue states completely controlled by the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, Ohio is the only state which is a
Speaker 1: so called republican state having similar problems. Since you live here,
Speaker 1: are you particularly concerned that if the state government is saying, well,
Speaker 1: fraud is the cost of doing business, that's a problem.
Speaker 2: It is. I don't accept the status quo.
Speaker 3: And look, I believe every bureaucrat that tells me that
Speaker 3: they did the audits through paperwork. But my problem with
Speaker 3: the audit system is it's broken. When you go into
Speaker 3: a daycare and you see feces, you see bottles that
Speaker 3: haven't been cleaned, see there's no betting, crib blood stains
Speaker 3: on sheets, and then you allow them to operate on
Speaker 3: a conditional license and don't come back for three to
Speaker 3: five months. That's a red flag that means our system
Speaker 3: is broken. The cost of fraud is exponential. And I
Speaker 3: have to ask any person listening today, when you get
Speaker 3: a thirty dollars charge on your whether it's Chase Bank
Speaker 3: or any bank you use, and it's not your charge,
Speaker 3: I guarantee you ninety percent of the audience called the
Speaker 3: bank to say this wasn't my charge. So imagine if
Speaker 3: it's millions of dollars. You don't think the government has
Speaker 3: a duty to protect us because if they're rolling up
Speaker 3: their sleeves and saying our hands are clean, I have
Speaker 3: a huge issue with that because they're then complicit by
Speaker 3: giving our tax dollars and not protecting us.
Speaker 4: May Cook.
Speaker 1: I also spoke to the state office holders that I'll
Speaker 1: reference the auditor, the attorney general of the Governor's office,
Speaker 1: and they're saying this can't happen in Ohio in a
Speaker 1: broad fashion because we don't deal with enrollment. We deal
Speaker 1: with attendant and so that's the key hook they hang
Speaker 1: their hat on that there's not massive fraud because we
Speaker 1: have an attendance when you go to these so called
Speaker 1: daycare centers. How much attendance do you see?
Speaker 2: Not much?
Speaker 3: And here's here's the key to attendance today. When I asked,
Speaker 3: if I forget to enroll my child as they're walking
Speaker 3: through the door because I was running with their lunchbox,
Speaker 3: how do I change the attendance numbers? They said that
Speaker 3: every administrator can go back and change attendance numbers. They
Speaker 3: just have to use a phone number and they're able
Speaker 3: to do it. And by the way, most of these
Speaker 3: compliance reports that I've read, the biggest issue is attendance. Well,
Speaker 3: if the biggest issue is attendance, are you paying them
Speaker 3: State of Ohio or are you not? And if you're allowing
Speaker 3: people to change attendance records, that's another red flag. So
Speaker 3: again there's loopholes and you can't just strictly stay based
Speaker 3: on attendance. We know that they're doing everything they should
Speaker 3: be doing. That's like a cover up of your audit system.
Speaker 3: Why not ask the question why are people changing the
Speaker 3: numbers of enrollment if they've forgotten to check in their child,
Speaker 3: that sounds like a loophole to me. And secondly, if
Speaker 3: it purely is attendance, who's checking those records. Are you
Speaker 3: checking records at midnight? I don't know any state office
Speaker 3: holder who's work until midnight?
Speaker 5: Do you no, not exactly?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And medicaid fraud is another thing
Speaker 1: ripe for the abuse and the Somalis. In a sense,
Speaker 1: individual Somalis that are here under temporary protective status and
Speaker 1: most of a lot of that's been pulled, are simply
Speaker 1: part of a system. They may be in their own minds,
Speaker 1: their think they came from a war ravaged country where
Speaker 1: most Somalis at home living garbage dumps, and they come
Speaker 1: here and all of a sudden, they may think themselves,
Speaker 1: this is like part of the deal, this is what
Speaker 1: living in America is that I get paid. And so
Speaker 1: I like to think there's some innocence on the behalf
Speaker 1: of individuals Solly's, for example, because they don't know what
Speaker 1: they're doing. Do you have some empathy for individuals who
Speaker 1: think this is the way we operate?
Speaker 2: One hundred percent.
Speaker 3: I sat down with the Somalian business owner that didn't
Speaker 3: want to be on camera because she didn't.
Speaker 2: Have the best English.
Speaker 3: I thought she was perfectly fine, who shared that she
Speaker 3: immigrated went to the Ohio State university, graduated. One of
Speaker 3: her kids is going to be a doctor, the other
Speaker 3: one is still working. She owns a daycare today, she
Speaker 3: owns and operates it. She's ethical and above board. She
Speaker 3: walked through the entire process of the check in and
Speaker 3: how kids it's all based on attendance. But again, I
Speaker 3: can have empathy but still ask questions. And the one
Speaker 3: thing that raised a red flag to me is she
Speaker 3: said that every parent that comes in with their child
Speaker 3: checks in. I saw a parent walk in and they
Speaker 3: didn't check in their child. Now is she going to
Speaker 3: go back and audit that and add a child checked in?
Speaker 3: I mean, this is where there's a problem with the
Speaker 3: state system. They think it's so strong. I don't I
Speaker 3: challenge that. And I'd like to have them sit down
Speaker 3: with the US Attorney's office and go through all of
Speaker 3: the issues that we have with their audit process. It's
Speaker 3: not just me claiming issues. I bet you other attorneys
Speaker 3: and auditors and tax experts could sit there and school
Speaker 3: them on the issues. But yes, I have empathy for
Speaker 3: any immigrant community that's trying to achieve the American dream.
Speaker 3: I don't have empathy for somebody who is committing fraud
Speaker 3: assault or intimidating anybody out there, including me.
Speaker 1: All I know a couple more quick inquiries. One is
Speaker 1: that I'm told by state officials about fifty percent of
Speaker 1: the Medicaid and daycare and autism and food stamps are
Speaker 1: paid by the state and about fifty percent paid by
Speaker 1: the Feds. The Feds are not the investigator, so to speak.
Speaker 1: Each state should have their own investigation. I would also
Speaker 1: note that the permanent representative of Somalia to the United
Speaker 1: Nations is linked to a home healthcare agency in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: Ohio that was prosecuted for Medicaid fraud. His name is
Speaker 1: Akbard had Osman. And according to Health and Human Services
Speaker 1: that the actual ambassador from Somalia who as at the
Speaker 1: United Nations is linked to a fraud in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Speaker 1: And I would ask, well, I live here. Why isn't
Speaker 1: that a bigger story? When the UN ambassador is part
Speaker 1: of the fraud from Somalia, isn't that a big story?
Speaker 2: Yes, he's blocked.
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody's scared of being called racists today and
Speaker 3: we have to stop. I don't care what anybody looks like,
Speaker 3: I don't care what anybody sounds like. If you're committing fraud.
Speaker 3: It's wrong, and every new station should be asking questions.
Speaker 3: The fact that they're not racist red flags. I mean,
Speaker 3: I went to the Somalian Education Resource Center, let me
Speaker 3: tell you, four different offices, and I finally found the
Speaker 3: forty two million dollar door with.
Speaker 2: A group of friends and there was nobody there.
Speaker 3: Lights out, And we have questions about what they did
Speaker 3: with the fourteen million dollars they received in the state
Speaker 3: of Ohio in twenty twenty five. Nobody's answering our questions.
Speaker 3: But at some point we have to get reporters and
Speaker 3: real journalists who want the truth to ask these questions
Speaker 3: and stop fearing the loudest critics because the loudest critics
Speaker 3: definitely have something to hide, and race baiting is no
Speaker 3: longer acceptable.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at what Chambondi did. She didn't care
Speaker 2: what anybody looked like. She is indicting in Minnesota. We
Speaker 2: have to do the same thing here.
Speaker 1: If they're fraud, deal with a conduct and not color.
Speaker 1: There's TSA agents in Minneapolis who testified that they had
Speaker 1: suitcases filled with American cash one hundred dollars bills going
Speaker 1: in Somalia. We also have circumstances where in Minnesota, the
Speaker 1: daycare providers who are Somalis gave to the state Democratic
Speaker 1: Party in Minnesota twenty four million dollars. Not too many
Speaker 1: daycare providers that are legitimate are spending off that kind
Speaker 1: of money. It's a protection racket operated by the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party to keep them in power. MAYA Cook, we have
Speaker 1: to run What is your website? How to those who
Speaker 1: want to be whistleblowers get a hold of you.
Speaker 3: Anybody can email me at cookfo Ohio at gmail dot com.
Speaker 3: It's Cook with an E. Please include evidence and information.
Speaker 3: We're getting a lot of tips, and my handle on
Speaker 3: Twitter is just at the heck cook or Instagram. That's
Speaker 3: where I've done a lot of the posting. And I
Speaker 3: appreciate everybody who is trusting me. I'm never going to
Speaker 3: share their name with.
Speaker 2: The state and be protective. I continue to work with
Speaker 2: them to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 1: May I Cook, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: You're a great American and don't let the cries the
Speaker 1: false claims of racism stop reality. May I Cook, thank
Speaker 1: you very much, Thank you, thank you. Let's continue with
Speaker 1: more news coming up. You're home of the Beangals and
Speaker 1: the Reds. News Radio seven hundred WLW by Billy Cunningham,
Speaker 1: The Great American and once again, the oil is at
Speaker 1: the forefront of what's happening with many foreign policy of perspectives.
Speaker 1: And then there's a group and many groups out there
Speaker 1: in America that are working hard to make sure that
Speaker 1: we don't have access to cheap energy. The American Energy
Speaker 1: Institute has a report and a letter sent to the
Speaker 1: congressional leaders that raise national security and energy policy concerns
Speaker 1: about a dark money network funded activist trying to obstruct
Speaker 1: us energy development to make sure that you pay five
Speaker 1: dollars a gallon at the gas at the tank at
Speaker 1: when you fill up, and let's face it, in Ohio,
Speaker 1: we're spending about two dollars and thirty nine cents a gallon,
Speaker 1: which only because of the policies that allow for free
Speaker 1: flow of energy. Joan, you and I now is Jason Isaac.
Speaker 1: He's the CEO of the American Energy Institute. And Jason Isaac,
Speaker 1: welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. But first of all, Jason,
Speaker 1: I see all the seizure of these so called dark
Speaker 1: tankers off Venezuela and now that I guess the Trumpster's
Speaker 1: now in charge of Venezuela, and I watched a lot
Speaker 1: of the commentaries of the radical leftists tell us that's
Speaker 1: got nothing to do with US energy policy, and they
Speaker 1: tell us that the US government only buys oil to
Speaker 1: put in this strategic petroleum reserve, and that essentially the
Speaker 1: oil companies themselves are the ones that are investing in
Speaker 1: oil production. So as far as what's happening now in
Speaker 1: Venezuela with the not the kidnapping, but the arrest of Maduro,
Speaker 1: what impact on American energy prices, everything happening in Venezuela
Speaker 1: actually have on us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you should see a little bit more, even more
Speaker 4: stability and lowering of energy prices because we're cutting out
Speaker 4: a huge transportation factor of importing that heavy crude oil
Speaker 4: from the Middle East. Now we're going to be getting
Speaker 4: it from Venezuela that owes American businesses billions of dollars.
Speaker 4: International courts have repeatedly ruled that the Maduro regime and
Speaker 4: the Chavez regime before him, took billions of dollars of assets,
Speaker 4: lost profits, lost revenue from America oil companies that had
Speaker 4: risked their bottom lines to go in there and produce
Speaker 4: oil in Venezuela. There's also the critical minerals, the rail
Speaker 4: earth elements that China has been looking to seize, and
Speaker 4: they're threatening the market of the supply of those, which
Speaker 4: we need for our military weapons, our technology, our computers. AI.
Speaker 4: China has a stranglehold on that and they've been threatening
Speaker 4: withholding it. And you look, eight out of ten barrels
Speaker 4: from Venezuela goes to China. They're buying it on the
Speaker 4: black market. And for the first time ever, in the
Speaker 4: last year, China has started to export energy. It's never
Speaker 4: happened before. They've expanded their refining capacity built in the
Speaker 4: backbone of cheap electricity from coal. It's not big and
Speaker 4: beautiful like it is here in the United States, but regardless,
Speaker 4: it's cheap. They've expanded their refining capacity. They're exporting diesel,
Speaker 4: jet fuel, and home heating oil to the global market,
Speaker 4: and they're doing it buying black market oil, violating sanctions.
Speaker 4: So what we should see is leveling off and returning
Speaker 4: to market a lot of the oil that's in the
Speaker 4: market right now. So this is this is a great
Speaker 4: move for American consumers and really the global consumer as well.
Speaker 1: And Jason Isaac it appears that compensate the oil companies
Speaker 1: that were ripped off by billions of dollars, that twenty
Speaker 1: five to fifty million barrels of oil. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's the day, a week, or a month are
Speaker 1: going to come out of Venezuela now to pay off
Speaker 1: those debts. And that's heavy crude. Explain the differential many
Speaker 1: of us don't know. I just go up to Amico
Speaker 1: and I put my put the nozzle in my car,
Speaker 1: my Chevy, and away I go, and I like the prices.
Speaker 1: But why is Venezuelan crude oil not as good as
Speaker 1: maybe American energy production out of the premium base. What's
Speaker 1: the differential between those kinds of crude oil?
Speaker 4: Well, if you look at we were importing oil for
Speaker 4: decades going back to the seventies, and so our refinings,
Speaker 4: our refineries were built to to process and refine heavy
Speaker 4: crude oil imported from the Middle East and other places
Speaker 4: around the globe and turn that into diesel, gasoline, jet fuel,
Speaker 4: home heating, oil, propane, plastics, a myriad of things that
Speaker 4: we depend on our daily lives. And so about eighty
Speaker 4: percent of the refining in the Gulf Coast is used
Speaker 4: to that heavy crude oil. Now, some of them started
Speaker 4: to over the last two decades started to retrofit their
Speaker 4: operations so they could handle this lighter suite. But a
Speaker 4: lot of the lighter, sweet crude out of the Permium
Speaker 4: Basin is exported onto the global market, and then we
Speaker 4: in turn import heavy crude to refine that into those products.
Speaker 4: So now we're going to be seeing a lot of
Speaker 4: that Venezuelan crude coming north just into the Gulf of
Speaker 4: America and being refined into good products. Here we're fined
Speaker 4: more responsible than anywhere else in the planet, might I add,
Speaker 4: So this will be really good at giving us a
Speaker 4: supply that's much closer than what we've previously gotten a
Speaker 4: supply from.
Speaker 1: Plus American jobs. Do you see the Landsman? Do you
Speaker 1: see what's happening on some of the some of the
Speaker 1: special series, Billy, Bob Thorton, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: Is that real?
Speaker 1: The Landman?
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 1: Do you watch that at all?
Speaker 4: I do, And I have boys that have worked in
Speaker 4: the oil field the Permium basin, and I've got a
Speaker 4: lot of my members that are there as well. It's
Speaker 4: a little sensational life. I'll just say that much.
Speaker 1: I love that stuffy and it reminds me of you know, Montana.
Speaker 1: It reminds me what's happening there. And so you do is.
Speaker 4: That a little bit real?
Speaker 6: It is?
Speaker 4: I mean, you get out of the oil field and
Speaker 4: I've been on frack sites, I've been on drilling rigs,
Speaker 4: I've been out of production facilities, gathering facilities, and look,
Speaker 4: there are men out there that are working really hard.
Speaker 4: They come home from work really dirty. They're working twelve
Speaker 4: hour shifts for two weeks on then they get a
Speaker 4: week off. In some cases some are doing fourteen on
Speaker 4: fourteen off. But there is no doubt about it. These
Speaker 4: men are working hard to provide affordable and reliable American
Speaker 4: energy produced more responsible than anywhere else in the planet.
Speaker 4: And you look at some of the people that are
Speaker 4: investing in these oil and gas companies, whether it's the
Speaker 4: majors or the smaller independence companies that I represent, it's
Speaker 4: the pensions around the country, These teachers and firefighters and
Speaker 4: first responders and other government employees that have entrusted, therefore
Speaker 4: one K dollars or their pension dollars to the management
Speaker 4: of companies that are then investing it. And so when
Speaker 4: Venezuela steals billions of dollars from these oil companies, they're
Speaker 4: actually stealing it from teachers, from firefighters, those first responders,
Speaker 4: people in the military that are dependent on on a pension,
Speaker 4: people that have invested in four one case. So it's
Speaker 4: going to be great to repatriate some of those assets
Speaker 4: back into our country.
Speaker 1: Oh, Yellowstone Landman Billy Bob Thornton doesn't get much better
Speaker 1: than that. I like to think guys like that are
Speaker 1: out there maybe have hoods on their heads getting beaten
Speaker 1: by the drug cartel. Billy Bob is wonderful. Let's get
Speaker 1: back to reality. Are as. The group's well funded environmental
Speaker 1: groups fund that I might add by the Sierra Club
Speaker 1: and Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, etc. Union of Concerned Scientists.
Speaker 1: Talk about who's funding them. Why don't they want American
Speaker 1: energy independence? Why don't they want us to pay two
Speaker 1: dollars and fifty cents a gallon? They want us to
Speaker 1: pay five dollars a gallon? Explain what these groups are
Speaker 1: all about.
Speaker 4: Well, there's these networks like Arabella Advisors and the Tides
Speaker 4: Foundation and these tax exempt groups that get billions of dollars,
Speaker 4: and a lot of that comes from foreign money. Just
Speaker 4: recently reported over four billion dollars from Chinese Communist Party
Speaker 4: aligned organizations directing money into our institutions of higher education
Speaker 4: here in the US. They're directing billions in the nonprofits
Speaker 4: into think tanks, trying to out have policy outcomes that
Speaker 4: benefit China, the benefit Russia, the benefit Iran, that are
Speaker 4: a complete detriment to the United States. So when you
Speaker 4: have groups like the Union of Concerned Scientists, this is
Speaker 4: an organization that refused to look at the origins of
Speaker 4: COVID because they didn't receive a request from the governments
Speaker 4: to do it. But when the Trump administration comes out
Speaker 4: and says we're going to move to rescind the Endangerment Finding,
Speaker 4: this Obama Area era deep state finding that was put
Speaker 4: in place in two thousand and nine that says that
Speaker 4: CO two A gas is necessary for life on Earth,
Speaker 4: is harmful to the environment and human health, couldn't be
Speaker 4: further from the truth. The Trump administration is moving to
Speaker 4: rescind it. The Union of Concerned Sciences immediately came out
Speaker 4: issuing strong opinions made up some fake studies submitted comment,
Speaker 4: just as Lete Pauling, you know who else submitted comment
Speaker 4: and opposition to rescinding the endangerment finding in the greenhouse
Speaker 4: gas reporting program. The Chinese Communist Party directly submitted comment
Speaker 4: through the federal government. That's resulted in a policy proposal
Speaker 4: already being filed. We uncover that broke that as well.
Speaker 4: You look at Greenpeace. I think green Peace is getting
Speaker 4: millions of dollars from around the world, but they got
Speaker 4: this judgment against them in North Dakota, over six hundred
Speaker 4: million dollar judgment because they damaged some things there on
Speaker 4: a pipeline for energy transfer trying to do these protests.
Speaker 4: They were coordinating these terrorist activities. That was reduced to
Speaker 4: a little over three hundred million. But what does the
Speaker 4: green Peace do. They use the courts, and that's where
Speaker 4: all these groups are coordinated. They're using courts here in
Speaker 4: the US, and green Peace is using the EU now
Speaker 4: to sue an American based company, energy Transfer, that doesn't
Speaker 4: even have operations in Europe. So they're trying to use
Speaker 4: these courts to their advantage. They've been funding and training
Speaker 4: and painting judges around the United States with false climate
Speaker 4: alarmist materials, so it is a really an interwoven web,
Speaker 4: and it's really deceitful to the American economic prosperity. And lastly,
Speaker 4: I'll just say you look at how quick the coordination
Speaker 4: was after Maduro, this narco Paris has he got to
Speaker 4: head who you put on him? The groups within hours
Speaker 4: had already started putting posters together. The printing posters. You
Speaker 4: can see the exact same designs used around the country.
Speaker 4: This is the climate alarmist and the leftist narrative. They
Speaker 4: go out and they pay these actors to go out
Speaker 4: and protest. I saw some of these protests. It's interesting
Speaker 4: it's old, white, wealthy people that show up at these
Speaker 4: protests while the Venezuelans are screaming for freedom out of
Speaker 4: the streets in Venezuela and also around the globe. But
Speaker 4: they're very coordinated in their efforts. It's the same thing
Speaker 4: with the climate alarmist anti.
Speaker 1: Energy movement and Jason Isaac with the American Energy Institute.
Speaker 1: It simply is paid for astro turf protesters with nothing
Speaker 1: better to do with their time than to hold up
Speaker 1: pre printed posters, acting as if they're independent when they're not.
Speaker 1: If you would take out of course I'm not going
Speaker 1: to find myself in California anytime soon. Well, what approximately
Speaker 1: is the cost for a gallon of gasoline in California.
Speaker 1: In the Midwest is between two thirty five and two
Speaker 1: seventy five a gallon? What is it in California. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're nearing five dollars a gallon.
Speaker 4: You look in California and dates like Washington, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 4: those are four of the highest five states in the
Speaker 4: US for fuel taxes. So really the national gallon average
Speaker 4: is closer to two dollars a gallon, but when you
Speaker 4: add in these states with really high fuel taxes and
Speaker 4: penalties on certain types of fuel, it's much higher. It
Speaker 4: matters where you live, and more importantly, it matters who
Speaker 4: you elect. In places like California are attacking American affordable
Speaker 4: and reliable energy to the detriment of the people live
Speaker 4: in California.
Speaker 1: And lastly, I tell the story and when my mother
Speaker 1: was a girl, they had coal delivered through the basement
Speaker 1: in a shoot. Then they pick up the coal, put
Speaker 1: it into the furnace and away you go. And then
Speaker 1: once a week they would have to clean the coal
Speaker 1: dust out of the inside of the house. That accumulated
Speaker 1: on tables and chairs on the floor. Had to clean
Speaker 1: the coal dust out of the home. By the way,
Speaker 1: my mother lived to be almost ninety years old. That's
Speaker 1: another story, but explain how clean coal is a different
Speaker 1: beast than it was decades ago. In fact, clean coal
Speaker 1: is a wonderful way of heating homes at a low
Speaker 1: cost because we have hundreds of years supply what technologically
Speaker 1: is happening now that makes whether it's natural gas, oil,
Speaker 1: or coal, a much better alternative than being cold in
Speaker 1: the winter and warm in the summer. What's happening technologically, no.
Speaker 4: Abilly, It's been amazing. Over the last fifty years, the
Speaker 4: United States has become a world leader in clean air.
Speaker 4: We've reduced pollution the six criteria pollutants that in certain
Speaker 4: concentrations are said to impact human health. We've produced that
Speaker 4: nearly eighty percent over the last five decades. And it's
Speaker 4: because of pollution control technology. I've set testified in front
Speaker 4: of Congress multiple times, and I've said, of all the
Speaker 4: technology the Chinese steal from us, it'd be nice I
Speaker 4: would utilize our pollution control technology. But that's about effective
Speaker 4: as their missile defense systems In Venezuela. They don't use it.
Speaker 4: It's not effective in China, and so there's actually cold
Speaker 4: us dropping in southern California. Over sixty percent of the
Speaker 4: pollution in Southern California is Asian air pollution because they
Speaker 4: don't use pollution control technology like we do here in
Speaker 4: the United States, and that technology is primarily bag houses
Speaker 4: in scrubbers. They're like giant filters that go on power
Speaker 4: plants in industry to capture the pollutants. During the COVID lockdowns,
Speaker 4: we took half the cars off the road to the
Speaker 4: United States because our government shut us down, locked us
Speaker 4: in our homes, closed businesses. People are losing their lives.
Speaker 4: They are losing their livelihoods. And what happened to the
Speaker 4: air quality in this country. Nothing. It got worse in
Speaker 4: some cities. It was slightly improved in others, but it
Speaker 4: was negligible. There's no meaningful improvement in air quality, and
Speaker 4: you take half the cars off the road. Our air
Speaker 4: story is one that's not told. It's unfortunate. Over sixty
Speaker 4: percent of the population doesn't know about it. We're also
Speaker 4: number one in access to clean and safe drinking water.
Speaker 4: That's something seven billion people on the planet would love
Speaker 4: to experience access to clean and safe drinking water. That's
Speaker 4: seven eighths of the global population would love to have
Speaker 4: we take for granted here in the United States. It's
Speaker 4: all powered by our economic prosperity, our environmental leadership, which
Speaker 4: is made possible only possible with access to affordable and
Speaker 4: reliable energy. That's natural gas, that's coal, that's oil, and
Speaker 4: that's nuclear.
Speaker 1: And it's not windmills, it's not solar panels. So you're
Speaker 1: saying a chunk of the air pollution in California is
Speaker 1: coming from China, who refuses to use our technology.
Speaker 4: Correct, that's absolutely right. And as the California increases regulations,
Speaker 4: the business just move over to China because it's the
Speaker 4: lower cost to do business there. They move over to China,
Speaker 4: they move over across the border into Mexico, and so
Speaker 4: we're actually exporting jobs and we're importing the pollution.
Speaker 1: Well, Karen Bess is an idiot, and she's very popular,
Speaker 1: and I'm certain Gavin Newsom, if he wants to be
Speaker 1: continue to run as the governor, he can do that.
Speaker 1: He's popular, I think. But imagine if California's energy policies
Speaker 1: was put in the lap of Gavin Newsom as the
Speaker 1: president in twenty twenty eight, what America would look like then?
Speaker 1: We would not recognize, more people would be on government help,
Speaker 1: There'd be more welfare fraud, We'd have lesser, fewer cars,
Speaker 1: less economic development, less technological advances. And that's what's on
Speaker 1: the ballot, including this November and in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Well we have to run in Jason isiac. What is
Speaker 1: your website if.
Speaker 4: Any American Energyinstitute dot com?
Speaker 1: You're a great American.
Speaker 4: Jason.
Speaker 1: God bless you and God bless America. And thanks for
Speaker 1: coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Jason, God
Speaker 1: bless you, Billy, thanks for having me on. Well, let's
Speaker 1: continue with more. Well, the truth will set us free.
Speaker 1: Do you want to live in a society with six
Speaker 1: and seven dollars a gallon gasoline? Or what's happening now?
Speaker 1: The environment we live in now is the result of technology.
Speaker 1: Keep it going, Bill Cunningham, seven hundred WLW by Bill Cunningham,
Speaker 1: The Great.
Speaker 4: Merit and I'm working again coming up there.
Speaker 1: So we're after two o'clock today. We have Governor Mike
Speaker 1: DeWine on to discuss his endorsement of a Ake Ramaswami.
Speaker 1: There's been some speculation there was some angst between the
Speaker 1: governor and Ramaswami. So we're going to get into that
Speaker 1: after two o'clock today. As you know, Amy Acton, Doctor
Speaker 1: Amy Acton is the Democratic nominee. You're in Ohio is
Speaker 1: uh was one of the devotees of Governor Mike DeWine
Speaker 1: during the COVID disaster, and so we're going to ferret
Speaker 1: out from Governor Mike DeWine. Wise he's endorsing vi Ake Ramaswami,
Speaker 1: and of course Uh not endorsing doctor Amy Acton, who
Speaker 1: was in charge of all the lockdowns in the state
Speaker 1: of Ohio. But until then, the great John Lott l
Speaker 1: Ott John Lott worked for years in the Trump administry
Speaker 1: in the first term. He's an expert researcher when it
Speaker 1: comes to guns and violence, more guns, less crime, and
Speaker 1: author He's done many things, great degrees from many of
Speaker 1: the great universities. And I noticed in the New York
Speaker 1: Post a few days back there was a big headline
Speaker 1: new data reveals the horrific truth about illegal immigrant crime
Speaker 1: and John Lott. Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show,
Speaker 1: and first of all John. What I hear from the
Speaker 1: radical left, from CNN, MS Now and so many others
Speaker 1: is that immigrant crime immigrants commit fewer crimes than American citizens,
Speaker 1: and therefore they should be welcome because there's such a benefit.
Speaker 1: We've had on guests before, May Cook and many others
Speaker 1: Ken Blackwell et cetera. Talking about the amount of illegal
Speaker 1: activities involving welfare, whether it's daycare, autism, medicaid, foods and fraud,
Speaker 1: home health fraud. It's massive. But one thing that is
Speaker 1: a predicate of inviting into our country more citizens from
Speaker 1: third world country, this is the fact they don't commit crime. Now,
Speaker 1: can you tell the American people what are the facts
Speaker 1: about aliens, illegal aliens or immigrants committing crime relative to
Speaker 1: native born Americans. Give us a full report, right, thanks,
Speaker 1: Happy New Year.
Speaker 7: Look, the type of data looking at immigrants as a
Speaker 7: whole mixes together illegal and legal immigrants. Legal immigrants do
Speaker 7: tend to commit crime at very low rates. Unfortunately, illegal
Speaker 7: immigrants tend to commit crime at extremely high rates compared
Speaker 7: to native born Americans. And we can see this with
Speaker 7: some recent data that just came out for the state
Speaker 7: of New York.
Speaker 4: New York.
Speaker 7: ICE put out indicated that they had seven and thirteen
Speaker 7: detainers on those who are currently incarcerated in New York
Speaker 7: State prisons in jails. You know, you're talking about individuals.
Speaker 7: One hundred and forty eight were there for homicides, you
Speaker 7: had them there for child rape, hundreds, you know, seven
Speaker 7: hundred for assaults and so on. And the thing is,
Speaker 7: if you compare that to their share of the overall
Speaker 7: prison and jail populations in the state, which is about
Speaker 7: fifty thousand people total there, that's fourteen percent. And you
Speaker 7: can compare that then to the share of the population
Speaker 7: that illegals reportedly have in New York. The highest estimate
Speaker 7: from Pew comes from Pew when they say it's about
Speaker 7: four percent. So you compare that fourteen percent to the
Speaker 7: four percent that they make up in the general population,
Speaker 7: they're way over represented. And the problem is that four
Speaker 7: percent is very clearly an underestimate.
Speaker 4: For many reasons.
Speaker 7: One reason is New York as a sanctuary state, is
Speaker 7: not assisting ICE in identifying who might be an illegal
Speaker 7: who's incarcerated in the state.
Speaker 4: There Also, as you may know, ICE will go and.
Speaker 7: Stay at different courthouses for when illegals are either convicted
Speaker 7: or whether they're charged with the crimes and pick them
Speaker 7: up and deport them right at that point, so they
Speaker 7: never make it in to the prison or jail populations
Speaker 7: in the state. CBS had a report that just over
Speaker 7: a two month period.
Speaker 4: This last year, just in New York.
Speaker 7: City alone, there were four hundred and sixty of those
Speaker 7: illegal aliens who were picked up at the courthouse and
Speaker 7: deported at that stage. So, you know, four hundred and
Speaker 7: sixty just from two months, just from one place in
Speaker 7: the state. You know that you can see that that
Speaker 7: seven one hundred could be a big underestimate. And there
Speaker 7: are other reasons we can go into too, but it's
Speaker 7: very clear, and this doesn't even take into account the
Speaker 7: almost seven thousand illegal aliens who had been convicted and
Speaker 7: served time in prison and jails who were released this
Speaker 7: last year.
Speaker 1: Also, I look at these numbers according to the Homeland
Speaker 1: Security one hundred and forty eight homicides, seven hundred and
Speaker 1: seventeen assaults, one hundred and thirty four burglaries, one hundred
Speaker 1: and six robberies, two hundred and thirty six dangerous drug offenses,
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty two weapons offenses, two hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty sexual predatory offenses. And you often talk about there's
Speaker 1: a differential between crimes committed on one hand and arrest
Speaker 1: and conviction on the other, that the arrest and conviction
Speaker 1: is a small number of the crimes committed. So explain
Speaker 1: that to the American people.
Speaker 7: Right, Well, we know, in general, only about forty percent
Speaker 7: of violent crimes and only about thirty percent of property
Speaker 7: crimes are reported to police.
Speaker 4: And there are lots of reasons for that.
Speaker 2: Whether or not people think that the.
Speaker 7: People are going to be caught and punished has a
Speaker 7: significant role in that. But this is particularly important when
Speaker 7: you're talking about crimes by illegals, and the reason is
Speaker 7: that criminals tend to commit crimes against people who are
Speaker 7: similar to them. You know, ninety percent of blacks are
Speaker 7: murdered by other blacks. Hispanics is about eighty percent are
Speaker 7: murdered by other Hispanics, for example. And if illegals tend
Speaker 7: to commit crimes against other illegals, which is pretty clearly
Speaker 7: the case, not exclusively, but if they disproportionately tend to
Speaker 7: do that, then what happens is you're going to underrepresent
Speaker 7: their share of reported crimes because illegals might be unwilling
Speaker 7: to go and report crimes to the police, no.
Speaker 1: Question about it, because they don't want to be identified
Speaker 1: as victims and may be deported. So the seven and
Speaker 1: fourteen number is a small number compared to the crimes committed.
Speaker 1: And I also would point out that you were involved
Speaker 1: in the Uvalde situation as far as talking about the
Speaker 1: police and what they did and didn't do. One of
Speaker 1: the officers is on trial in Uvalde, Texas for not
Speaker 1: responding appropriately to that deranged criminal that went into a
Speaker 1: classroom and killed a bunch of students, and there were
Speaker 1: no armed teachers. There's no one around in that situation,
Speaker 1: which feeds into many things you've said, which means more guns,
Speaker 1: less crime. And so one thing that's happened in my
Speaker 1: home state of Ohio is that there are local sheriffs
Speaker 1: who have trained personnel, like in Butler County where Richard K. Jones,
Speaker 1: who are teachers vice principals principles to discreetly carry weapons
Speaker 1: to make it less likely someone's going to pick that
Speaker 1: particular school to commit an offense. Another thing that weighs
Speaker 1: into this is sanctuary status of cities and states right now,
Speaker 1: because if you're a sanctuary city, and you won't share
Speaker 1: information like Minnesota, which is having terrible problems. And I'm
Speaker 1: glad that Governor Tim Waltz is not going to run
Speaker 1: for reelection. I fear that citizens of Minnesota would probably
Speaker 1: re elect him, and that there are many county jails
Speaker 1: and city jails that don't share information. So instead of
Speaker 1: arresting someone with a federal criminal warrant in prison, which
Speaker 1: is protecting of both parties, they let them go and
Speaker 1: then once they get into the community, then there has
Speaker 1: to be an entire raid to arrest someone with a warrant.
Speaker 1: So what are the dangers like in the blue cities
Speaker 1: and blue states when they don't participate in the federal
Speaker 1: function of law enforcement? And the act is if the
Speaker 1: Feds or shall I say, an invading force. In fact,
Speaker 1: this incident with a ice of officials were tried to
Speaker 1: be rammed by a woman in a white pickup truck
Speaker 1: and she was shot and as a consequence, it creates
Speaker 1: havoc and turmoil. And so how much easier is it
Speaker 1: if you have red cities, red states that will tell
Speaker 1: the Feds this person is here, we will honor your detainer,
Speaker 1: pick them up that's safer for everyone, correct, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 7: Look, I mean I think one of the reasons why
Speaker 7: we've seen this huge record dropped and murders in the
Speaker 7: United States, it looks like we're going to be on
Speaker 7: track for the lowest murder rate ever recorded in US
Speaker 7: history this past year. It has to do with many things.
Speaker 7: You know, obviously, the FBI has doubled the number of
Speaker 7: arrests this last year compared to what they were in
Speaker 7: twenty twenty four, but also what Trump has been doing
Speaker 7: with regard to deporting criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 4: You know, not only do you go and you.
Speaker 7: Take the criminals off the street there, but even the
Speaker 7: ones that you haven't caught, they don't want to get deported.
Speaker 7: And so what they do is they want to keep
Speaker 7: off of police radar. And how do you keep off
Speaker 7: of police radar. You stop committing or commit fewer crimes,
Speaker 7: so you're not going to be as much of a
Speaker 7: target for the police to go after. And so, you know,
Speaker 7: it's not a coincidence that we've seen what looks like,
Speaker 7: at least for the first nine months of the year,
Speaker 7: a twenty percent drop in murders. And my guess is
Speaker 7: when the data comes out for all the crimes. It's
Speaker 7: coming September for last year, it's going to show a
Speaker 7: big drop in violent crimes across the board. You just
Speaker 7: to get people an idea of what we're talking about
Speaker 7: in terms of percentages. You know, we just had during
Speaker 7: the Biden administration, the largest percentage increase in violent crime
Speaker 7: over for a year period time that's ever been recorded.
Speaker 7: It went up by fifty nine percent. There's no time
Speaker 7: that's even remotely close to that. It's like a little
Speaker 7: bit more than half or twice what it was previously.
Speaker 7: And so you know, here, I think you're going to
Speaker 7: see violent crime reverse that trend that occurred.
Speaker 4: And with murders.
Speaker 7: In twenty twenty four, we had about five murders per
Speaker 7: one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 2: The highest or the.
Speaker 7: Lowest that we'd previously had was four point five per
Speaker 7: one hundred thousand. But we're on track right now to
Speaker 7: have about four or slightly less than four per hundred thousand.
Speaker 7: That's a huge that's a huge difference from one of
Speaker 7: was the lowest that we'd ever previously recorded.
Speaker 1: And you point out in your story in the New
Speaker 1: York Post a few days ago, the Biden administration admitted
Speaker 1: the nine percent of the seven point four million non
Speaker 1: detained illegal immigrants at ittality already had criminal records. And
Speaker 1: you also point out in your story of the cost
Speaker 1: we're worried about the cost of fraud somalis when it
Speaker 1: comes to daycare or medicaid or food stamps or home health.
Speaker 1: What are the cost just in one city or one
Speaker 1: state in New York about housing illegals who commit crime?
Speaker 1: And let's face it, the majority of people brought in
Speaker 1: by the Biden administration I contend illegally for those four years.
Speaker 1: We're young, poorly educated, unattached males who are the formula
Speaker 1: for more crime being committed. But what are the costs
Speaker 1: in New York City and New York State to the
Speaker 1: taxpayers that are born indirectly by all of us when
Speaker 1: you start detaining thousands and thousands of illegal aliens shouldn't
Speaker 1: be here in the first place. How much money does
Speaker 1: it cost?
Speaker 7: That costs a lot. Look, we can't get an exact
Speaker 7: figure because we don't know how many of these individuals
Speaker 7: that Ice issued detainers on were in the prison system
Speaker 7: versus the jail system. Those two systems have different costs
Speaker 7: of incarcerating people. But if you the prison system costs
Speaker 7: are less, and if you assume that all of the
Speaker 7: illegals who are incarcerated are incarcerated in the prison system,
Speaker 7: you're talking about a billion dollars a year. You know,
Speaker 7: that's a billion dollars a year the State of New
Speaker 7: York could save if they let Ice take those individuals
Speaker 7: and deport them. But you know, you mentioned the data
Speaker 7: that finally came out before the election in twenty twenty
Speaker 7: four showing that nine percent of the so called non
Speaker 7: detained individuals who were at least in the country had
Speaker 7: criminal records.
Speaker 4: The problem is that's.
Speaker 7: Clearly a huge underestimate. The reason is is because many
Speaker 7: of those illegals came from countries like Venezuela, for example,
Speaker 7: that refuse to provide information on the criminal back grounds
Speaker 7: of those individuals. So the Biden administration just put them down.
Speaker 7: As you know, we don't know whether they had criminal backgrounds,
Speaker 7: and we know Venezuela, for example, in other countries released
Speaker 7: people from prisons in jails in order to have them
Speaker 7: come to the United States. They were not exactly people
Speaker 7: that they wanted to go and have to spend their
Speaker 7: own money on keeping in prison, So you know, there
Speaker 7: are multiple reasons for you know, the thing is, these
Speaker 7: non detained individuals were almost exclusively individuals who voluntarily turned
Speaker 7: themselves into the border. Those are not the ones that
Speaker 7: you should be most concerned about. You know, we had
Speaker 7: about two point one million so called guideways that came
Speaker 7: into the United States during the Biden administration. These are
Speaker 7: people that we saw coming across the border but we
Speaker 7: didn't catch. And then we have untold millions that we
Speaker 7: never even saw come across the border. And the reason
Speaker 7: is that the Buying administration had pulled seventy six percent
Speaker 7: of the border agents off of guarding the border and
Speaker 7: instead we're using them.
Speaker 4: To go and process illegals.
Speaker 7: And also about thirty percent of the passive monitoring equipment,
Speaker 7: the cameras and other things were broken during the Buying
Speaker 7: administration and they were not fixing them. So between pulling
Speaker 7: agents off the border and having broken equipment over large
Speaker 7: parts of the border that weren't even you know, monitoring
Speaker 7: people coming across, we have no idea how many more millions,
Speaker 7: And those are the ones that you should be most
Speaker 7: concerned about. There's a reason why they didn't turn themselves
Speaker 7: in at the border and get you know, the the
Speaker 7: prepaid credit cards, and get housing and get food and
Speaker 7: get you know, transportation to wherever in the country they
Speaker 7: wanted to go.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to put a sharper pont in something
Speaker 1: you say in the story in the New York Post.
Speaker 1: It's hardly surprising. The violent crime surged by a record
Speaker 1: fifty nine percent during Joe Biden's four years in office,
Speaker 1: the largest percentage increase ever over any four year period
Speaker 1: in American history. At the same time, the United States
Speaker 1: experience and then president influx of illegal aliens. It's almost
Speaker 1: as if one intends the logical consequences of one's behavior,
Speaker 1: which means Joe Biden, etc. Wanted to flood the country
Speaker 1: with illegals. Get them incorporated into societies largely all over
Speaker 1: the country. Give them day care benefits, autism benefits, medical benefits,
Speaker 1: food stamp benefits, home health care benefits. Get them registered
Speaker 1: to vote as quickly as possible. Minnesota has a system
Speaker 1: where a sponsor can vouch for eight other people who
Speaker 1: are voting without an ID and that's how Democrats stayed
Speaker 1: in power and in Minnesota in one year, the so
Speaker 1: called daycare providers gave to the Democrats twenty three million
Speaker 1: dollars in political donations. I don't know too many daycare
Speaker 1: providers throwing off that kind of money. It was the
Speaker 1: protection racket that's finally going to be broken. We got
Speaker 1: to run John Lott Crimeresearch dot Org. All the doubt
Speaker 1: is there crimeresearch dot Org. And once again, John Lott,

Speaker 5: I'll answer any questions you guys want.
Speaker 4: Hello quiet, I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: Oh id segment. There's so much to talk about, so

Speaker 1: full report segment. I need sports and I need it now.
Speaker 6: Will leave the astute reporters of proud service of your
Speaker 6: local Tamestar Heating in Airconditioning dealers. Tamestar Qualit Dukenfield in

Speaker 6: Miami RedHawks beating Western Michigan last night eighty seven seventy six,
Speaker 6: the first team in the nation with that record and
Speaker 6: is a school record twenty fourth straight win at Malett Hall.
Speaker 6: And on the other side, West Virginia rallies late to
Speaker 6: beat the Bearcats sixty two to sixty in Morgantown. Bearcats
Speaker 6: up fifty seven to fifty two with under five to go,
Speaker 6: you see just three points the rest of the way.
Speaker 6: Mountaineers go on a ten oh run and get the win. Overall,
Speaker 6: the Bearcats are eight seven to zero and two now
Speaker 6: into Big twelve under mister Wes Miller, the Bearcatcher. He
Speaker 6: is three and fifty when when trailing with five minutes
Speaker 6: remaining in a game, Well, I.
Speaker 1: Say that again, six percent, three fifty. Yep, that's not
Speaker 1: good segment, that's not good.
Speaker 6: As you said, Well, he has Zavi's back. In action
Speaker 6: to night at Marquette six thirty here on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 6: Missouri will take on Kentucky at seven on ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 6: Let's see Bengals update brought to you my good spirits
Speaker 6: winding to Baco on Party Town thirteen convenient locations in
Speaker 6: northern Kentucky. The Cleveland Browns have requested an interview with
Speaker 6: Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher in regarding their head coaching vacancy.
Speaker 1: What about that segment.
Speaker 6: I guess they want to talk to him, and Bengals
Speaker 6: can say yeay or nay, but they got a lot
Speaker 6: of I mean, I think I think if I was
Speaker 6: Dan Pitcher, I'd stay here with Joe Burrow story instead
Speaker 6: of going to the you know what hole of Cleveland
Speaker 6: with the Browns where they've had seventeen thousand different quarterbacks
Speaker 6: in like six months.
Speaker 1: If I'm Dan Pitcher, who sounds like a baseball but nonetheless,
Speaker 1: if I'm Dan Pitcher and I want to coach an offense,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'm going to Cleveland, And no, I'm
Speaker 1: not going there.
Speaker 6: You want to go from Joe Burrow to Shader Sanders. No, No, No,
Speaker 6: Red's Update. Get the latest on the Reds tonight. The
Speaker 6: Hot Stove League gets six O five here on seven
Speaker 6: hundred WLW get the latest tonight. Willie Tommy Thrall gets
Speaker 6: married this weekend in Saint Lucia, really, and they'll have
Speaker 6: all the latest there on that. And then also, I
Speaker 6: don't know if you missed it yesterday, but the cowboy
Speaker 6: named Ohio sportscaster of the Year deserves it, no question.
Speaker 6: So we try to get him on, but he's en
Speaker 6: route to Saint Lucia. I don't know where he thinks, man,
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. I think he knows where that is
Speaker 6: the Caribbean somewhere. Soccer FC Cincinnati makes it official by
Speaker 6: signing Cincinnati native Kyle Smith. He's a graduate of LaSalle,
Speaker 6: the home of the Lancers, and an MLS veteran. Also,
Speaker 6: former Winton Woods soccer star Taylor White has signed a
Speaker 6: two year deal with Racing Louisville Football Club in the
Speaker 6: National Women's Soccer League.
Speaker 4: What else is going on here? Let's see?
Speaker 1: How about former Bengal wide receiver hospitalized with severe burn.
Speaker 6: I was just about to mention that, yes, Jordan Shipley, Yes,
Speaker 6: I hurt badly and his farm and I guess ranch
Speaker 6: in Texas, and they said he's burned like thirty percent
Speaker 6: of his body. So we just thoughts in prayers for him.
Speaker 6: And then former Bengals quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner. Carson
Speaker 6: Palmer is the twenty twenty five Max Preps National High
Speaker 6: School Football Coach of the Year. He led his team,
Speaker 6: He led his team to state title in California.
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer might come back to the Bengals to be
Speaker 1: the head football coach. Would Mike Brown accept him back?
Speaker 4: What do you think?
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I don't think so. And how about
Speaker 6: the Ravens parting ways with John Harball?
Speaker 1: Well, I've seen stories on the national media about John
Speaker 1: Harball versus Zach Shuler, Zach Taylor and who should have
Speaker 1: got fired? Who shouldn't have got fired? And shall we
Speaker 1: say John Harball is going to be a very prized
Speaker 1: commodity for maybe the New York Giants. What about that?
Speaker 6: Well, apparently, I guess.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 6: Right after his firing, in about fifteen minutes, he got
Speaker 6: seven teams calling him. And he's in Miami today. But
Speaker 6: they already have a head coach because they could gass
Speaker 6: Mike McDaniel and put John Harball in Miami. You don't know,
Speaker 6: I don't know where he's going.
Speaker 1: Well, who did a better job this year? Taylor or Harball.
Speaker 6: Well, Harball went eight and nine because they I think
Speaker 6: they lost like six to seven in a row because
Speaker 6: of you know, Lamar Jackson won healthy. Of course, the
Speaker 6: Bengals weren't healthy either. With Joe Burrow out, Bengals won
Speaker 6: six and eleven.
Speaker 1: And John Harbaugh spent how many years that you see
Speaker 1: Bearcats right as a defensive backfield coach. Everything in the
Speaker 1: world segment is relatable to Cincinnati. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Everything happening, it's right here, Harrorball.
Speaker 6: And one of the one of the candidates now by
Speaker 6: the Ravens job as former defensive assistant of the Ravens
Speaker 6: in twenty seventeen and eighteen is a Chargers defensive coordinator,
Speaker 6: Jesse Minter, who went to Mount Saint Joe can a
Speaker 6: son the son of Rick Minner.
Speaker 1: Well, I've done some research on everything's connected. The Ravens
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the AFC in the
Speaker 1: last eighteen years. Right, John Harbaugh went one ninety three
Speaker 1: and one twenty four, won a Super Bowl, only had
Speaker 1: three losing seasons in eighteen and what to continue, would
Speaker 1: have gone to the playoffs except for that missed field
Speaker 1: goal by number thirty three, who should be cut somewhat time.
Speaker 1: That was the only field goal he missed in the year,
Speaker 1: the only one he had made he missed, right, not good?
Speaker 4: No, not good.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with Harball. But if he
Speaker 1: wants to But he's sixty three years old, he's getting
Speaker 1: old segment. By the time you're in your mid sixties,
Speaker 1: you should stop working anyway, would you agree.
Speaker 6: I think that social security is in and he's probably
Speaker 6: headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame or maybe
Speaker 6: a TV gig.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if he's loquacious like Chris Collin's
Speaker 1: Worth and Rocky Boyman. Well, let's face it, he's one
Speaker 1: of the most successful coaches of the twenty fourth century.
Speaker 6: And I think they've only had three. Like Pittsburgh is
Speaker 6: what had like four head coaches in their in their
Speaker 6: entire existence. I think the going back to the Colts,
Speaker 6: they've only had three head coaches over the last upteen years.
Speaker 1: Oh about the Bengals were about the same. I mean
Speaker 1: we went through went through Marvelo Marvin. He was here
Speaker 1: about fourteen years. He took the Ravens to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Defensively that team in two thousand was with all due
Speaker 1: respect to the nineteen eighty five Chicago Bears, that team
Speaker 1: was the greatest defensive team ever and they won one
Speaker 1: Super Bowl one and Harball did the same thing. And
Speaker 1: is not good enough for Piscotti, who's the owner of
Speaker 1: the Ravens, he wants to do better and might you
Speaker 1: might recall Mike Brown from the first thirty years as
Speaker 1: the general manager, mikey Boy Brown won a total of
Speaker 1: zero playoff games. And the first thirty years that's not good. Segment,
Speaker 1: that's not good.
Speaker 6: You're correct, that's not good.
Speaker 1: And then then the other factor is you talk about
Speaker 1: what's happening at UC right now. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: Wes Miller's basketball, which one's in worst shape?
Speaker 6: Well, flip a coin.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But at least Scott Sounderfield went to
Speaker 1: a playoff, went to a Bowl game. But Wes Miller,
Speaker 1: if he didn't make it in the Big Show this
Speaker 1: year is like, according to many, it's over with And
Speaker 1: that's what Joe Frederick tells me he's done. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand, that the tough part of the UC
Speaker 1: Barcott schedule is coming up. They've already played the easy.
Speaker 6: Part, right I think they've got Iowa State and a
Speaker 6: few other ones upcoming here and what woa not good
Speaker 6: will he? So I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 6: But other than that, that's about That's about it. And uh,
Speaker 6: you know, so we'll see what happens. U See plays
Speaker 6: up against U c F on the road this Sunday,
Speaker 6: so we'll see if they can come back. And you know,
Speaker 6: hopefully Xavier can right the ship tonight against Marquette after
Speaker 6: dropping a couple of games, and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: So that's about it.
Speaker 6: So I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, give
Speaker 6: me out of the stott will he in honor of
Speaker 6: a beautiful day here in a trice eight, we leave
Speaker 6: you with the immortal words of the Stooge Report.
Speaker 8: At some point, the foolishness has got to stop.
Speaker 1: A segment of things go Well, Mike DeWine is supposed
Speaker 1: to call in about two oh five to day to
Speaker 1: talk about his endorsement of a Veke Ramaswami over doctor
Speaker 1: Amy Acton.
Speaker 6: Well, what about David Pepper joining Amy Acton? What's up
Speaker 6: with that?
Speaker 1: I say, just add Pepper. That's all That's all you
Speaker 1: can do, is just add Pepper. That's what she did well,
Speaker 1: and then they got no chance to win. I don't think,
Speaker 1: but I never know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you never know.
Speaker 4: Yeh, all right, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Down the road. But uh, you know, Amy Acton was
Speaker 1: a person, shall we say that that was endorsed and
Speaker 1: loved by Mike DeWine. You might recall back in the
Speaker 1: beginning of the pandemic in March in April of twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: the two of them hold held daily news conferences that
Speaker 1: we carried live, right, And so I think Doc Jeremie Acton,
Speaker 1: you know, she was a favorite of Mike Dwine, not
Speaker 1: so much anymore. And after all, Mike DeWine is a Republican,
Speaker 1: and God bless the Republicans. So I think after two
Speaker 1: of five today, we'll see what happens with him. So
Speaker 1: I supposed to call an he's having a speech right
Speaker 1: now in Cleveland. So seg will continue with more. Let's
Speaker 1: continue with more scheduling Mike Dwine about two of five today,
Speaker 1: all on news radio seven hundred WW. Then I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure you may be aware that a woman in Minneapolis
Speaker 1: was shot and killed by ice agents about an hour
Speaker 1: ago after allegedly using her car to ram and kill
Speaker 1: ICE agents. This will be weaponized by the media right
Speaker 1: now as an excuse to not enforce federal law in
Speaker 1: many blue cities and blue states. In fact, the so
Speaker 1: called mayor of Minneapolis, a clown named David Frye, is
Speaker 1: marching around you in the F bomb at a news
Speaker 1: conference broadcasted live all over the country, using the F
Speaker 1: word to describe ICE. The Department of Homeland Security said
Speaker 1: in a statement issued about an hour ago that rioters
Speaker 1: began blocking ICE officials when one of the riders allegedly
Speaker 1: attempted to weaponize her vehicle to hit law enforcement officials,
Speaker 1: and what they described as an active domestic terrorism fearing
Speaker 1: for his life in the lives of his fellow police
Speaker 1: officers and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.
Speaker 1: According to a federal government he used his training and
Speaker 1: saved his own life and that of fellow officers. The
Speaker 1: alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased now according to others.
Speaker 1: And this is all going to be on video, and
Speaker 1: the state has not released its video, but the Feds
Speaker 1: have great video looking forward to it being released. There
Speaker 1: was previous video being shot that seemed to indicate a snowy,
Speaker 1: icy environment. Several dozen so called protesters standing on an
Speaker 1: icy road in front of in front of ICE officials
Speaker 1: trying to make arrest of criminals in Minneapolis, and a
Speaker 1: member of the ICE, of which is Immigration and Customs
Speaker 1: enforcement at the scene said a driver of vehicle was
Speaker 1: shot as she tried to run down police officers doing
Speaker 1: their job. And right now the Democratic Party is on
Speaker 1: the side for the legal aliens, to those who are
Speaker 1: chiseling the system for personal benefit and TRIPA McLaughlin to
Speaker 1: Fox News the incident was a direct consequence of constant
Speaker 1: attacks and demon is eight of our police officers by
Speaker 1: sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage random assaults on police
Speaker 1: officers and ICE officials have suffered at fourteen increase in
Speaker 1: assaults against them eight thousand increase in death threats. So
Speaker 1: much like historically Democrats who kept the slaves, who fought
Speaker 1: a war to keep the slaves, who after a civil
Speaker 1: war made sure that African Americans living in the South
Speaker 1: to not have civil rights, and then for years but
Speaker 1: together the ku Klux Klan in the nineteen fifties and
Speaker 1: sixties refused to allow federal law to be enforced in
Speaker 1: cities in the South, requiring Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy and
Speaker 1: Johnson just sent in federal officials because Democrats not that
Speaker 1: the federal law to apply in their jurisdiction. In reality,
Speaker 1: it does. And I would hope that these ice officials
Speaker 1: are safe in the conduction of their duties. And I
Speaker 1: hope at some point the Democratic Party becomes to its
Speaker 1: census and recognize the federal law has got to apply
Speaker 1: in every city, in every county, in every state in
Speaker 1: the company we continue with. We've scheduled Governor Mike Wine
Speaker 1: in about seven or eight minutes that show them the
Speaker 1: reds Bangles and the Bearcats. There's Radio seven hundred WL Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: After putting him to the American a few hours ago,
Speaker 1: there was a note that Governor Mike DeWine is going
Speaker 1: to endorse Vike Ramaswami. That should not be great shocked
Speaker 1: because both are Republicans, but there's also some indication earlier
Speaker 1: in the year, that end of last year that he
Speaker 1: wasn't going to make an endorsement yet, Jona, you and
Speaker 1: I now is Governor Mike DeWine and Governor DeWine welcome
Speaker 1: again to the Bill Cunningham show, and Governor, can you
Speaker 1: announce now why you're endorsing Viveke Ramaswami now and didn't
Speaker 1: do it a few weeks ago.
Speaker 8: Well, I could give you the answer that this is
Speaker 8: a little humor here this afternoon, I could give you
Speaker 8: the answer that Governor Rose gave when he endorsed Reagan,
Speaker 8: and the reporters and well, governor, Governor, why why today?
Speaker 8: And he said, well, yesterday would have been too soon
Speaker 8: and tomorrow would be too late. I'm not sure that
Speaker 8: was a good answer for him, But the press didn't
Speaker 8: do much. It's going to shook their heads and walked away,
Speaker 8: I guess. So, look, I think that you know, he.
Speaker 4: Made the first.
Speaker 8: The first big decision a president makes, or presidential nominee makes.
Speaker 8: The first big decision that a governor makes, is picking
Speaker 8: the running mate, and in this case, he picked Rob McCully,
Speaker 8: who was the Senate president from northwest Ohio, someone very
Speaker 8: well respected. And so I think that, you know, that
Speaker 8: was a very very good decision. I wanted to praise
Speaker 8: that and congratulate him, and it just seemed, you know,
Speaker 8: I talked to Dubake yesterday, I talked to him today
Speaker 8: we've been we have been talking. Uh, and so I'm
Speaker 8: you know, happy to endorse him.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 8: I think he'll be a good governor. This is you know,
Speaker 8: will be a significant race.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 8: You know, we're electing a governor and uh, it's a big,
Speaker 8: a big job in a big, big position. But I
Speaker 8: think he really hit a home run today with with
Speaker 8: Rob McCully. Good good choice, very very very good choice.
Speaker 8: And you know, Bill, we have to continue to grow
Speaker 8: a hile and we have to continue to bring companies
Speaker 8: in from California and New York. And I think the
Speaker 8: Dake has the ability to do that. I think he
Speaker 8: has the inclination to do that. I think he has
Speaker 8: the instinct to do it, knows how to do it.
Speaker 8: So continued economic growth for Ohio, it's just so very
Speaker 8: very important.
Speaker 1: You know, Governor. When this came out a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: that you were equivocating a bit, there was some thought
Speaker 1: among some conservatives that you might lean toward doctor Amy
Speaker 1: acting because you two worked together March April, May June
Speaker 1: July of twenty twenty. In fact, you filled a very
Speaker 1: important one hour time spot between one and two o'clock
Speaker 1: with me with doctor Amy acting at your side. Do
Speaker 1: you think doctor Amy Acting is in a sense not
Speaker 1: qualified to be the governor.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to go into that.
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I worked I worked with her.
Speaker 8: I think she did a good job. I know some
Speaker 8: people criticized, you know, what was done during that period
Speaker 8: of time. And I've pointed out that I'm the governor.
Speaker 8: So if people got a complaintation, complaint, you know, they
Speaker 8: complaints with me. Bok always stopped with the governor. It's
Speaker 8: not the governor's members of the cabinet. But look, I
Speaker 8: think she did a good job in that position. I
Speaker 8: enjoyed working with her. Uh, But we're now talking about
Speaker 8: a very different position. We're talking about being governor for
Speaker 8: the whole state, twelve million people. You know, Bill, after
Speaker 8: having done this for seven years, I can tell you
Speaker 8: that every day, Uh, there is something happening that the
Speaker 8: governor has to deal with that's important and that maybe
Speaker 8: was unexpected. You know, We've had a lot of unexpected
Speaker 8: things since I've been governor. Every governor faces that you
Speaker 8: focus on so many different things if you think about it.
Speaker 8: You know, we have seventy six state parks, we have
Speaker 8: you know, forty five thousand people who are in prison,
Speaker 8: so we're running a big state prison system. Economic development
Speaker 8: is so very important. Education probably the most important thing
Speaker 8: of all is something that you know, we put a big,
Speaker 8: big emphasis on frand with a Vali partner Imagination Library Library,
Speaker 8: getting free books to kids. We're now over I think
Speaker 8: four hundred and fourteen thousand kids every month get a
Speaker 8: free book, getting kids ready for kindergarten, the science of reading,
Speaker 8: which we are spreading around the state in every one
Speaker 8: of our schools now. It's really the best way to
Speaker 8: teach kids how to read. So all these things, you know,
Speaker 8: there's just a lot going on every every single day,
Speaker 8: and it's just important to have, you know, a leader
Speaker 8: and someone who not just is a leader, but someone
Speaker 8: who can deal with all the all the different things
Speaker 8: that the governor has to deal with.
Speaker 1: And Governor de one I had on a couple of
Speaker 1: hours ago may I Cook, who's doing her own investigation
Speaker 1: about daycare and autism fraud, and medicaid fraud in Ohio
Speaker 1: and food stamp fraud, home health fraud. And there was
Speaker 1: a report that one of your spokesmen said that the
Speaker 1: cost of some fraud is the cost of doing business.
Speaker 1: Do you have a sense that Ohio under your leadership,
Speaker 1: is doing a much better job than appears to be
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Are you on top of the fraud? Some
Speaker 1: talk about enrollment versus attendance. What do you say to
Speaker 1: the critics who say that Ohio may have massive fraud
Speaker 1: in the Somali community, or in the Mareitanian community, or
Speaker 1: in the Haitian community. What would you say about that?
Speaker 8: Well, I had a whole press conference the other day
Speaker 8: about this bill. As you know, I wanted to lay
Speaker 8: out for people to say, Ohio exactly where we were.
Speaker 8: I know some people are saying, look, you have Haite
Speaker 8: or you have smallions in Minnesota, You've got to Ohio
Speaker 8: and particularly the Plumbas area. Therefore, if you have h
Speaker 8: fraud in Minnesota, you must have fraud in Ohio. I'm
Speaker 8: just not sure that's the way we are to look
Speaker 8: at this. I'm not sure if it's not factual.
Speaker 2: Uh, we have.
Speaker 8: I think a very good system in place. It doesn't
Speaker 8: mean there is some fraud that gets biased, that does happen.
Speaker 8: No fraud is acceptable. We have no tolerance for fraud
Speaker 8: at all. I don't have the statistics in front of me,
Speaker 8: but I gave out the other day. But you know,
Speaker 8: we have pulled the plug on a number of daycare centers,
Speaker 8: some run by some audients, some run by not some audions.
Speaker 8: You know, if we see that there is fraud there,
Speaker 8: if we see, for example, that they don't have records,
Speaker 8: they're always supposed to keep their records. Uh, We've pulled
Speaker 8: some just because they didn't have their records. So we're
Speaker 8: going to continue continue.
Speaker 4: To do that.
Speaker 8: We do things differently than some states do. For example,
Speaker 8: we pay and maybe they'd set the stage if I could.
Speaker 8: We're about one hundred thousand children who are in daycare
Speaker 8: in the state of Ohio where their parents probably couldn't
Speaker 8: afford it, but you know, they want to work. We
Speaker 8: want them to work, want the parents to work, and
Speaker 8: so we subsidized to some extent that daycare for that
Speaker 8: particular child. So it's one hundred thousand kids at one
Speaker 8: time are getting some subsidy, their favors are getting some
Speaker 8: subsidy to help them pay for that child child care.
Speaker 8: We have about fifty two hundred fifty two hundred daycare
Speaker 8: centers in the state that I have kids in there
Speaker 8: who the state is paying part of the tuition basically,
Speaker 8: we have a lot more daycare centers now, but fifty
Speaker 8: two hundred. So it's fifty two hundred, you know that
Speaker 8: we are looking at Last year we did ten thousand,
Speaker 8: ten thousand punt announced inspections. But in addition to that,
Speaker 8: you know, we if we see something wrong or paperwork,
Speaker 8: you know, we go in.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 8: We also encourage I would say this to any any
Speaker 8: of your listeners. I know you, you're clear, you know
Speaker 8: from Cincinnati, clear almost the flebo people listening to you.
Speaker 8: But if anyone has suspicion that daycare center or any
Speaker 8: other kind of fraud that's going on any place uh
Speaker 8: involved in the Stable High we don't want to hear
Speaker 8: about it. And so when we get these these tips,
Speaker 8: I'll just call them tips. When we get them in,
Speaker 8: we check them all out. Some of them amount to nothing,
Speaker 8: but some of them have amounted to something. And as
Speaker 8: a result of those tips from citizens in the Stable HIO,
Speaker 8: we've been able to take action and to stop uh,
Speaker 8: you know, the fraud that was going on, stop money
Speaker 8: going out when it should not have been going out.
Speaker 8: So we encourage that bill.
Speaker 1: Do you say loud and proud there is not massive
Speaker 1: fraud in the state of Ohio when it comes to
Speaker 1: subsidized daycare or medicaid, and which transportation companies make up
Speaker 1: trips from the home to a care center or maybe
Speaker 1: home health, and which somebody can claim. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: caring for my mom or dad twenty four hours a day.
Speaker 1: I make seventy eighty thousand dollars a year living with
Speaker 1: my mom, and I get paid for all that. The
Speaker 1: allegations I know you're aware of this out of Minnesota
Speaker 1: are absurd. And there's been seventy eight indictments ninety five
Speaker 1: percent of Somali's there's been seventy four convictions in Ohio.
Speaker 1: That does happen here too. But are you saying, as
Speaker 1: our governor, there is not massive fraud supporting the immigrant
Speaker 1: communities in Ohio similar to what's happening in Minnesota.
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know exactly what's happening in Minnesota. You
Speaker 8: just recounted it, you know, so I can't see exactly
Speaker 8: what's happening there. All I know is the same thing
Speaker 8: we all know is what's been reported. What I can
Speaker 8: tell you is, UH, you know that we're vigil about
Speaker 8: about fraud. Uh, is there some fraud that occurs. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you've you've got fifty two hundred daycare centers. Uh. You know,
Speaker 8: is there some sometimes uh fraud there, Yeah, but it's
Speaker 8: not it's not anything massive. I mean we do things
Speaker 8: like you know, we only count. We only let them
Speaker 8: count and get paid for when that child actually shows up.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 8: The buid administration wanted us to switch over and we
Speaker 8: refuse to do it. They wanted us to switch over
Speaker 8: to uh paying buy an enrollment, and we said, no,
Speaker 8: We're not gonna pay just because someone who will what
Speaker 8: happens and they don't, you know, the kid doesn't show
Speaker 8: up uh for a week, two weeks three, We're not
Speaker 8: gonna pay. We're not gonna pay for that. Uh. So
Speaker 8: we you know, we do we do that differently as
Speaker 8: I say you do the unannounced uh visitations. Uh when
Speaker 8: we when we go in and we're not only just
Speaker 8: woking for fraud, we're also looking, frankly, to make sure
Speaker 8: those daycare centers are good and to make sure that
Speaker 8: you know, they're taking care of kids properly. I mean,
Speaker 8: we you know, we are concerned about that.
Speaker 4: You know, one of the.
Speaker 8: Things that we've seen in the Columbus area. We've seen
Speaker 8: some people who've shown up at these daycare centers and
Speaker 8: filmed themselves and then stood out there and said, well,
Speaker 8: I'm shocked they won't let me into the daycare center.
Speaker 8: And these are just people. We have no businesses a
Speaker 8: daycare center. And you know, if your child is in
Speaker 8: the daycare center, you wouldn't want that daycare center open
Speaker 8: to anybody he just just to walk in. You can't
Speaker 8: do that in the school today, and you shouldn't be
Speaker 8: able to do that in the daycare centers. So these
Speaker 8: daycare centers shouldn't be opening up and like just someone
Speaker 8: who wants to film it and say they want to
Speaker 8: want to go in. That's not how we run daycare
Speaker 8: centers in the state of Ohio or probably a place
Speaker 8: out we've got to protected protect you to do in case.
Speaker 1: We proceed govin are you more sensitive to this than
Speaker 1: you otherwise might have been because of what's happening in Minnesota?
Speaker 1: Do you notice when one of your representatives said, well,
Speaker 1: you know, fraud's are cost of doing business, it kind
Speaker 1: of didn't sound like that quote.
Speaker 8: Look, look I don't I don't like that quote. That's
Speaker 8: not my quote. Uh, you know, well, we want to
Speaker 8: be honest. Just fraud occur. I can tell you it's
Speaker 8: occurred because we've caught it, so I know it's scarred.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: And do we catch everything? Well, probably not everything. Uh,
Speaker 8: there's just a lot of a lot of going on,
Speaker 8: but we're vigilant. Is important.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 8: We owe this to the taxpayers to be the ever
Speaker 8: vigilant about this. This is taxpayers dollars that we're dealing with.
Speaker 1: Lastly, viveg Ramaswami's floating a trial balloon of maybe getting
Speaker 1: rid of all the real estate taxes in fact, uh
Speaker 1: and maybe he also said get rid of state income tax.
Speaker 1: So those are the main drivers of funding government. And
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what the sales tax would be if
Speaker 1: you got rid of real estate taxes and got rid
Speaker 1: of income taxes? Are those aspirational goals? Practically could Ohioans
Speaker 1: get rid of the real estate tax and or the
Speaker 1: state income tax and have government function?
Speaker 8: Well, I don't see how you do both of those known,
Speaker 8: I don't. I mean I think that is you know, Bill,
Speaker 8: in every budget I've signed for budgets, we have cut
Speaker 8: the state income tax. So we were very very comparative
Speaker 8: today with other states. We didn't used to be, but
Speaker 8: we certainly, we certainly are today. Real estate taxes. I
Speaker 8: just signed a series of bills that will make some
Speaker 8: significant reforms and I think bring some meaningful relief to
Speaker 8: the tax payers of the state of Ohio. It's a problem,
Speaker 8: as you and I have discussed, when a couple that's
Speaker 8: say they're seventy five years and they've lived in this
Speaker 8: house for years, they've paid off their mortgage, the kids
Speaker 8: are groom and they wake up one day and in
Speaker 8: the mail there's a bill that shows that their real
Speaker 8: estate taxes is going up thirty five forty percent. That's
Speaker 8: not right, and that's you know, that's what's pausing some
Speaker 8: of the people who want to put this on the
Speaker 8: ballot to completely do the way with the real estate
Speaker 8: tax I don't think you know, the people behind that initiative.
Speaker 8: I don't think that makes any sense. I don't think
Speaker 8: you can do that. Can you have reform?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 8: And I think we, you know, were starting to achieve
Speaker 8: that kind of reform.
Speaker 1: All right, Governor, thanks for setting the records trade in
Speaker 1: those regards, and I have on guests now and then
Speaker 1: to say things like the massive fraud. There's a sense
Speaker 1: because you had which I think was a meritorious event,
Speaker 1: you and your wife had a Haitian orphanage that somehow
Speaker 1: your bend over backwards to assist those other entities. How
Speaker 1: would you address the fact that the kindness you showed
Speaker 1: for twenty years in Haiti is kind of weaponized against
Speaker 1: you to say as if he might agree with some
Speaker 1: of this fraud going on.
Speaker 8: Well, well, look what we have done in Haiti is
Speaker 8: working with father Tom Hagen, who runs the school down there.
Speaker 8: He's got five thousand kids in school. His kids wouldn't
Speaker 8: be going to school any other way but for Father Tom.
Speaker 8: And you know we we were help them away with him.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 8: And that's just something we do as individuals. It's not
Speaker 8: something I do as governor. It's something you do is
Speaker 8: as individuals. So it doesn't doesn't change my attitude. I
Speaker 8: don't think about anything in the in the United States.
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, we're gonna be visuals for any
Speaker 8: time we see fraud. We're going to be focused on
Speaker 8: on Ohio and focused on this country.
Speaker 1: All right, Governor, thank you very much. I want to
Speaker 1: get a quick comment by David Pepper, selected by Amy
Speaker 1: Acton to be the lieutenant governor. He's in Ohio, and
Speaker 1: I know David Pepper, He's run for many offices unsuccessfully.
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts about him being the lieutenant governor? Or
Speaker 1: really be the lieutenant governor with Amy Acton.
Speaker 8: Well, I saw that announcement today, so you know again,
Speaker 8: you know, I simply simply go back. I think that
Speaker 8: what Prevate did today dredge that first first big decision.
Speaker 8: I think in Bob mcpellay made a good decision as
Speaker 8: far as what the Democrats are doing. I left the
Speaker 8: Democrats were about that.
Speaker 1: Hi, Governor, thanks for coming on. I called you on
Speaker 1: the sly because I wanted to get to may A
Speaker 1: cook On and make look in Columbus there's disasters happening
Speaker 1: all over the place. And she was almost physically assaulted
Speaker 1: by a couple of Somalis who went after her, and
Speaker 1: I said, down nine to one one get the cops there.
Speaker 1: But I just have a sense that between you, the
Speaker 1: attorney General, the auditor and others, that there may be
Speaker 1: some fraud in the Columbus, which is a blue city.
Speaker 1: But I always said Ohio is a red state that
Speaker 1: we don't function the way California functions, and the way
Speaker 1: that Minnesota functions because the governor spent years as the prosecutor,
Speaker 1: spent years as the attorney general, and Mike the Wine
Speaker 1: doesn't have a corrupt bone in his body, and so
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if had the same level. But are
Speaker 1: there some mistakes. Absolutely, But uh, thanks for coming on
Speaker 1: and setting the record straight. We'll do it all right.
Speaker 6: Talking with you, We'll do it.
Speaker 8: We'll talk about the reps next time.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 1: Rets, we only got about five weeks. What advice would
Speaker 1: you give to Mike Brown of the Bengals to tell
Speaker 1: Mike Brown to do what?
Speaker 8: Well, let's let's uh, I'm yeah, I don't know. It's uh.
Speaker 8: We got a great quarterback, we've got great receivers and uh,
Speaker 8: you know, there's a lot of good players on that team.
Speaker 8: But there's some things that have to be done, just
Speaker 8: like things have to be done to Reds. So you know,
Speaker 8: and those of us who are Reds fans.
Speaker 1: Y, Yeah, well, at least the rest made the playoffs.
Speaker 1: At least they got to the playoffs. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: But Governor Mike Dwine, thank you very much. And uh,
Speaker 1: I reached out to Vivek Ramaswami. He's going to come
Speaker 1: on Monday to talk about uh, the income tax, the
Speaker 1: property tax and all that stuff. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: But Governor Mike Dwaine, thanks for coming on the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunning m Show. Once again. Thank you Mike, Thank you, Governor,
Speaker 1: thank you. You see. Now let's continue with more news next.
Speaker 1: You're home of the Bengals and Reds and the Bearcats.
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 4: You know, I've had this feeling in my gud of
Speaker 4: like I'm holding Ohio in my arms and.
Speaker 10: Unlike single handedly like Deacon virus, stay.
Speaker 1: Out, Hello, Hello, Hello, Yet I'm broadcasting like Rocket. We
Speaker 1: just got on Governor Mike Dwine your reaction to the
Speaker 1: arms being folded around the state of Ohio, and he's
Speaker 1: endorsing not Amy Acton, who was his running mate, and
Speaker 1: all those news conferences. Now he's with a aake rama swampy.
Speaker 1: I love saying that. Yeah, Rock is on.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm back, I'm here.
Speaker 1: I'm back. All right, Rock, give me your reaction to
Speaker 1: the governor uh endorsing to make promise for me.
Speaker 11: They seem to have their differences earlier, but I think
Speaker 11: the Wine is smart enough to know a winner when
Speaker 11: he sees one. He knows he's at least gonna win
Speaker 11: the primary hands down. Who win that by eighty percent?
Speaker 11: Will he win the general? I think so, but we
Speaker 11: shall see. I did find it curious though, he said
Speaker 11: there's no corruption with the day care facilities or transportation
Speaker 11: facilities correction.
Speaker 1: Ohio, in Ohio, in Ohio, but the Minnesota. He said,
Speaker 1: he's not paying much attention to Minnesota. He's got enough
Speaker 1: problems here. The ice officials in Minneapolis have their own
Speaker 1: difficult You're not kidding, and I had on at some
Speaker 1: point the foolishness has got to stop im. And he
Speaker 1: says in Ohio, if we find them, we prosecute, we
Speaker 1: turn off the money. In Minnesota, they encourage him to
Speaker 1: continue and make donations to the Democrat them.
Speaker 5: Well, I know you know, and I know you've had
Speaker 5: her on.
Speaker 11: Ma Hate Cook is visited some places around Ohio, and
Speaker 11: it seems people are not too fired up about her
Speaker 11: being there taking a look under the hood.
Speaker 6: David Pepper, what about Pepper?
Speaker 1: How about Dave? How about this? David Pepper is a
Speaker 1: good friend of segment. Dennison now reacted, it's just add pepper.
Speaker 5: Little added little pepper to That's all you need.
Speaker 6: Segment give me in the Stute Report, will he the

Speaker 6: three five three one sixty nine spots. Bengals Update brought
Speaker 6: to you by Good Spirits, Winding Tobacco and Party Town
Speaker 6: with thirteen convenient locations in northern Kentucky. Cleveland Browns have
Speaker 6: requested an interview with Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher regarding
Speaker 6: their head coaching vacancy. Now rock you super Bowl winner,
Speaker 6: NFL veteran y Dan Pitcher, Joe Burrow, Dan Pitcher, shavere
Speaker 6: standers or the seventy five thousand other guys that are
Speaker 6: going to be quarterbacks in Cleveland? What do you do?
Speaker 11: I would if I were advising Dan Pitcher and I
Speaker 11: was were his agent, I would say, don't go near
Speaker 11: that franchise was a pole unless you you got to
Speaker 11: go in with a stud quarterback. Any job you want
Speaker 11: to take, and they don't have one, no matter what,
Speaker 11: Haslam says. I would advise him to stay away from
Speaker 11: that organization.
Speaker 6: John Harball out in Baltimore.
Speaker 11: Action does does Stefansy go to Baltimore go inner division?
Speaker 5: Lead them? They could do worse? Like I was a
Speaker 5: two time NFL.
Speaker 6: Coach of the Year, right, good point.
Speaker 1: How does Baltimore look at the performance of John Harball
Speaker 1: over the last eighteen years He's won sixty percent of
Speaker 1: his games, but in the playoffs twelve of the eighteen
Speaker 1: times ring How does uh Buziati at the owner of
Speaker 1: the Ravens, book at that guy and say, you know
Speaker 1: what we got? We got to get rid of him.
Speaker 5: So here's what I've read today.
Speaker 11: And who knows, but I think John Harball goes in
Speaker 11: and says, look, what are we going to do about
Speaker 11: Lamar Jackson? Like he was fantastic, but he really wasn't
Speaker 11: the same guy this year? What is the future plans?
Speaker 11: And there might have been some arguments about that because
Speaker 11: the owner what was his name, Steve Biscotti, is probably like,
Speaker 11: I mean this, this guy's like the biggest thing in Baltimore.
Speaker 11: We're not moving on from Lamar Jackson? What are you
Speaker 11: talking about? And you know, Harball is like, look, I
Speaker 11: was like eight and four in the playoffs without Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 11: and I'm I think three and five with him. So
Speaker 11: are we going to talk about I don't know if
Speaker 11: that's true or not, but that's just kind of some
Speaker 11: of the things I'm reading.
Speaker 5: He's maybe questioning that.
Speaker 11: And they said, the only person that is guaranteed to
Speaker 11: stay here is Lamar Jackson and not you boom See,
Speaker 11: you wouldn't want to be.
Speaker 1: Well, compare to John Harbaugh does Taylor and make that
Speaker 1: comparison who got fired or who didn't.
Speaker 5: It's it's tough.
Speaker 11: I mean, I mean, Baltimore is a very very very
Speaker 11: well run franchise. So I guess they have their reasons
Speaker 11: for things, and they always seem to do things the
Speaker 11: right way and seem to be, you know, one foot
Speaker 11: ahead of everybody else. But I think we'll find out
Speaker 11: more as things come out on that.
Speaker 6: Please continue well the college basketball Tonight, the Xavier Musketeers
Speaker 6: are in Milwaukee to take on Marquette, probably in a
Speaker 6: key Big East matchup at six thirty here on seven
Speaker 6: hundred WLW. Missouri and Kentucky at seven on ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 6: Indiana up against Maryland, of course, Last night, the Miami
Speaker 6: RedHawks went to sixteen and oh while beating Western Michigan,
Speaker 6: but West Virginia rally late to beat the Bearcats in
Speaker 6: Morgantown sixty two to sixty.
Speaker 9: I don't care about the noise, Dan, I don't care.
Speaker 9: I don't care what people think. I only care about
Speaker 9: my team and I care about my program. And you
Speaker 9: know what, it's almost common cool. We'll get a break.
Speaker 9: We just got to stay together and stay brilliant. It's
Speaker 9: us against the whole world. We know that we're gonna
Speaker 9: get a break. We're gonna keep going. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Not good, not good, not good.
Speaker 5: West Miller could be gone.
Speaker 1: Please continue.
Speaker 6: Let's see college football. Georgia Southern transfer quarterback J C.
Speaker 6: French is joining the bear Cats.
Speaker 5: So I have called J. C.
Speaker 11: French led games, I want to say, four or five
Speaker 11: times in the past. I've had Georgia Southern and he
Speaker 11: has a lot of experience and there's some things he
Speaker 11: does well. But at this point, I'm not impressed with
Speaker 11: that signing. I'll just say that.
Speaker 1: What about Notre Dame losing that half back?
Speaker 6: Welcome?
Speaker 1: I mean, but Notre Dame log lost the star half back?
Speaker 11: Yeah, money, it came home, which is interesting because you
Speaker 11: know Jeremiah Love is going in the draft, so you
Speaker 11: think there'd be a vacancy there. But look, maybe it's
Speaker 11: not opportunity. He can play and have a great career.
Speaker 11: I mean, the Bearcats certainly need a need a running back.
Speaker 11: They lost their top two guys.
Speaker 1: I would say, what does UC Bearcats have? The Notre
Speaker 1: Dame doesn't. How come a player like that wants to
Speaker 1: ignore South Bend and come home to Cincinnati. Is there
Speaker 1: something wrong maybe with Marcus Freeman. It's something right with
Speaker 1: Scott I.
Speaker 11: Don't think so, because Marcus Freeman's name gets brought up
Speaker 11: with every NFL job, which is and he's not even
Speaker 11: gonna go to the NFL, but his name is still
Speaker 11: brought up.
Speaker 5: So there's my comment on that.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 6: Well, college football though, Miami and Old Miss tomorrow night
Speaker 6: in the Fiesta Bowl, and of course Indiana and Oregon
Speaker 6: Battle of the uh which well is it?
Speaker 4: Oh? What? Uh? None matter?
Speaker 6: In Atlanta, Kyle Schwarver is going to be the honorary
Speaker 6: captain for the Indiana Hoosiers Friday at the Peach Bowl.
Speaker 11: So I called a couple of years ago, I had
Speaker 11: JMU when they had a head coach named Kurt Signetti and.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it was it was yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 11: I feel Willie that some sometimes in life people just
Speaker 11: just got it right. I mean, you know, there's great
Speaker 11: coaches out there, and then there's Kurt Signetti that can
Speaker 11: with with no five stars and you know, bringing players
Speaker 11: over from.
Speaker 5: JMU and look, and they got good players.
Speaker 11: It's not to say they don't, you know, nobody wins
Speaker 11: without good players, but just an unbelievable job. I just
Speaker 11: feel like he's one of those, like on the level
Speaker 11: of Saban, that he just knows football better than anybody else,
Speaker 11: just does.
Speaker 1: Who's the see not hire him? The Bearcats could have
Speaker 1: had Signetti as their coach, and my brother John Cunningham said, no,
Speaker 1: he won with Scott Soaderfield. Was that a mistake?
Speaker 9: Rock? I think?
Speaker 11: I mean, as much as like Scott Saderfield, I would
Speaker 11: have to imagine, uh, passing on Kurt Signetti that they
Speaker 11: would redo that if they could, you think, so, yeah,
Speaker 11: I'm certain about that.
Speaker 6: And who's the guy, uh, speaking of Indiana, who's the
Speaker 6: Dallas Mavericks owner that's on the shark tank? Yeah, what's
Speaker 6: the big guy Mark?
Speaker 4: What's his name?
Speaker 5: Willie uh Uh.
Speaker 1: It's on the tip of my tongue, not Mark Levin, Mark.
Speaker 5: Uh Cuban, Indiana.
Speaker 6: He's made another considerable contribution to the n I L
Speaker 6: Bank bank account to the Indiana.
Speaker 11: So do you think there's any there's it's a coincidence
Speaker 11: that Indiana's all of a sudden winning, No, it's not.
Speaker 9: Is it?
Speaker 11: Is there a coincidence that the SEC is now kind
Speaker 11: of getting their brains beat in a little bit like
Speaker 11: in all these Bowl games, because now everyone else has
Speaker 11: has the money and has more money, getting a little moreried.
Speaker 11: It's it's you have to be at a place that
Speaker 11: has that is well healed. You have to be at
Speaker 11: a place that has a Mark Cuban or a uh
Speaker 11: you know, Phil Knight out of Oregon. You have to
Speaker 11: have those kind of people because money drives the ship.
Speaker 1: If somebody had told you that the Hoosiers this year
Speaker 1: was going to beat Ohio State, win the Big Ten,
Speaker 1: they were going to beat Oregon, and now they're in
Speaker 1: the Final four, you would not have put a dollar
Speaker 1: on that rock. Somehow, this signetic character and their heisman
Speaker 1: quarterback are doing things with magical dusts. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: them winning. Are they going to beat the Hurricanes too?
Speaker 1: Is that possible?
Speaker 11: And wouldn't bet against the The guys found a way
Speaker 11: and they got the right quarterback, which is all the
Speaker 11: biggest thing you gotta do is get the right quarterback,
Speaker 11: and those is a real deal.
Speaker 5: Great kid too, great kid.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable that Indiana had the second worst
Speaker 1: record in the history of football Division one all time,
Speaker 1: and now they're marching. If they go to the national title,
Speaker 1: that would be more than incredible. And the other thing
Speaker 1: is Miami almost stuck in because the to be did
Speaker 1: not want Notre Dame. They did not want Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: so they put Miami in. Would Notre Dame be doing
Speaker 1: what Miami the Hurricanes you're doing.
Speaker 5: I think so, and certainly would have been played better
Speaker 5: than Alabama. I don't think you can.
Speaker 6: That's for sure.
Speaker 5: Deny that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and in the end has already been Oregon one.
Speaker 11: Notre Dame should have got in over Alabama. I think
Speaker 11: that I would would I said that before and now
Speaker 11: it's I'm even more certain about that.
Speaker 1: Lastly, I'm glad you brought that up. Why's the SPC
Speaker 1: failing magnificently? They're not doing well at all. You know,
Speaker 1: the blue Bloods aren't doing well. Uh SEC and Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: perhaps the greatest college football program of all time, not
Speaker 1: doing well. And then you have like Old Miss they're
Speaker 1: doing well.
Speaker 11: They lost two games by a combined three points. One
Speaker 11: was a muff extra point. I mean, that's how razor
Speaker 11: thing we're talking here.
Speaker 1: They were denied. They were denied. They weren't even in
Speaker 1: the top twelve. They wouldn't want Notre Dame. Now you
Speaker 1: have ACC and Old Miss is not the blue blo
Speaker 1: just Georgia, Alabama and LSU, and you got an all
Speaker 1: missed in and they don't have coaches. The OC went there,
Speaker 1: came back, and he went to LSU, came back. Who
Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen there. I look from Miami
Speaker 1: to play Indiana and for all the marbles a week
Speaker 1: from Monday night, who wins between the Hoosiers and the Hurricanes.
Speaker 10: We gonna pick the Hoosiers, me too, Indiana all the
Speaker 10: way with Ted McKay, team of destiny, do the ray
Speaker 10: and the knee, and Notre Dame wants the best team
Speaker 10: in Indiana football wise, is Indiana and not Notre Dame,
Speaker 10: Am I right or wrong about that?
Speaker 4: Seg?
Speaker 6: Give me out of stuge report, please Rock in honor
Speaker 6: of the first full first team Stooge Report of the year. Yes,
Speaker 6: we leave you with the immortal words of the Stooge Report.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 5: I'll answer any questions you guys want.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, coach, get ready Miller time. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's going to be a Miller time much longer.
Speaker 1: He better start winning immediately. When you lose to West Virginia,
Speaker 1: say they were up by five points at the end?
Speaker 9: Is that?
Speaker 1: Seg? What was that record? Tell the Rock to record
Speaker 1: about the Bearcats under west Miller?
Speaker 6: They are what West Miller has a record of three
Speaker 6: wins and fifty losses when he's when his team's are
Speaker 6: trailing with five minutes to go into game fifty three
Speaker 6: and fifty.
Speaker 5: Rock, how we looking not good?
Speaker 1: That the best football team in Indiana is the Hoosiers
Speaker 1: and not the Irish. That's all I can say.
Speaker 5: Welcome back, Rock, So good to be here, so glad
Speaker 5: to see you guys.
Speaker 1: Am I right or wrong?
Speaker 5: You're breaking up? I can't hear what you're saying.
Speaker 1: Say did that earlier? And now we're back strong? Gotta run. Guys,
Speaker 1: thank you, let's continue that rock. What do you have
Speaker 1: on the big show this afternoon if any.
Speaker 11: Prior the gate, we have your good friend Steve good Non,
Speaker 11: former city councsman, local attorney, gonna talk about aftab said
Speaker 11: we got to raise tack. Now was that a part
Speaker 11: of his his plan when he was running for mayor?
Speaker 11: Did he mention that at all you're gonna raise taxes. Okay,
Speaker 11: so he's gonna raise taxes to increase the uh uh,
Speaker 11: the safety of the citizens. Maybe we should make sure
Speaker 11: you know that the daycarees aren't receiving money. And then
Speaker 11: we got Dave Hatter, our tech guy at four, I'm
Speaker 11: gonna talk about there's a lot of I'm sure you've
Speaker 11: seen this the discussion on X. There's like AI drived
Speaker 11: nude pictures out there. Everyone's freaking out about it.
Speaker 9: But what do you do.
Speaker 11: It's not like a real person, so it's not like,
Speaker 11: you know, child whatever it's it's a it's fake, but
Speaker 11: it looks real.
Speaker 5: Does that make sense to go?
Speaker 1: But the mayor cannot keep safe playgrounds for eleven year
Speaker 1: old girls? Are given the money to protesters that don't
Speaker 1: deserve the money. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WULW
