WEBVTT - 1-7-26 Bill Cunningham Show 0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:10.600 Bill Cunningham, the Grant America. Well, welcome this Wednesday afternoon. 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:12.520 The tries did coming up on Friday. It's a big 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.200 news conference with Duke Tobin in the direction of the Bengals. 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:19.239 But until then, Mayet Cook, you're a Fox News contributor 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:21.880 and attorney, and you've done a lot of investigations in 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:25.040 the state of Ohio, which is piggybacked on what's happening 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:28.000 in Minnesota. The hearings are underway there and also in 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.159 the state of Maine. And I can only imagine the 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.760 fraud that's present in the so called Blue Cities and 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.960 Blue states when it comes to daycare fraud and autism fraud, 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:42.200 and medicaid fraud, transportation fraud, foods and fraud. But maheck Cook, 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.760 first of all, can you tell the American people what 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.680 is happening? What is your investigation shown so far in 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.120 the Columbus area and the great state of Ohio. 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.120 Well, thanks so much for having me. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:57.400 I am looking both at home health care services and daycares. 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.720 I have visited a building with about thirty four home 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.679 healthcare services here in Columbus, Ohio, and was able to 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.039 talk to one or two businesses. One was not able 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.560 to provide much information about how home healthcare services work. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.399 So if you have an aging grandparent or a parent, 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.400 she said she really didn't know how it worked. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.520 And the second office did sit. 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.800 Me down and explain to me that I could go 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.920 through a process with insurance, But for the most part, 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.880 the lights were off, the doors were locked, nobody was available. 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.920 This is my third visit there, and I'm just wondering 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.640 how these businesses are operating given that they're getting state funding. 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.600 Who are they How are they operating? How do you 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.319 operate a business when you don't show up for three days? 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.560 And unfortunately, the last day that I was there, I 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:47.680 was encountered. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.640 By three individuals. 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.760 That were of Somalian descent that cornered me and said 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.920 that they would not be providing services, and I said 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.040 that was fine, and then they continued to scream at 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.360 me and try to intimidate me and say that I 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.520 should not be asking these questions. That I am Indian 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.720 and not white, but has nothing to do with the 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.519 fact that anybody can walk through a door and ask 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.080 simple questions. But I think they have a real problem. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.640 They think for some reason they're going to scare me 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.280 with the racist word that they can't because I'm not white. 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.360 And this is what the whole community has continued to say, 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.000 You're not white. This is not a white or black issue. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.280 This is a are you committing fraud or not? 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.519 Issue? And so that has. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.640 Been insanely disturbing to me that you can't answer simple questions. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.240 And then on the daycare front, I mean, I'll be honest, 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.280 we're not seeing any kids. We've maybe seen one facility 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.480 with a few kids, but the kids were both referring 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.640 to the owner or the individual talking to us as mom, 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.440 which is fine. You can take care of your kids 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.959 in a daycare. Many of them are run down, many 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.680 of them are filthy. I've had three assaults of three 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.080 different daycares by just simply knocking you. Hear a click, 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.000 they let you in, and then they're violently attacking you. 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.440 Most of these daycares don't have children. There's only two 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.519 that have allowed me to come in and ask basic questions, 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.480 and only one of them has actually been able to 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.840 give me an application for a child and tell me 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.600 how much it costs. So when you ask questions about attendance, 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.680 I also learned that you can basically forget to sign 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.000 in your child. According to the State of Ohio, we 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.919 have the best system, but you can forget to sign 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.360 in your child and they can retroactively sign in children. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.760 So suddenly I have questions about attendance. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.880 I mean, these are issues in our compliance and our 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.120 audit system, and we should be asking questions. And the 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.560 elephant in the room right now is yes, majority are 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:38.320 Somalian owned. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:39.200 This isn't targeted. 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.880 This is the community that is running these daycares and 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.520 home healthcare centers, and that's what we're looking into. 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.760 Talk about the scam relative to home healthcare. I've seen 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.520 all your videos, and one of the videos I saw 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.800 looked as if these guys are about to assault you. 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:58.880 They use the F bomb, use racial epithets, and they're Somalis, 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.080 but nonetheless seem to work in Minnesota. You simply raise 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:07.040 their racial flag and seeming like the Ellison and Waltz 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.800 and Fry, the mayor, the attorney General of the governor 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.160 of Minnesota simply back off completely. In fact, Keith Ellison, 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.240 I watch it so you don't have to on MS 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.279 now and he was talking about, yes, there is some fraud, 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.560 however it's being handled internally. There have been numerous convictions, 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.440 dozens of convictions for fraud, with ninety five percent being 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.880 of Somali origin. But how does the healthcare scandal work? 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.040 And not just in Ohio, guess in every state? How 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.800 does one sign up to care for an aging parent 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.320 and have the government pay you? 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.279 Well, look, I think it's going to be different in 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:46.680 every state, but Ohio, Pennsylvania, obviously, Minnesota, their standards are 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:51.240 I would say lower. You are allowed as a child 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.720 to take care of your aging parent or a grandparent. 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.840 So the way that the alleged fraud is occurring right 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.280 now in Ohio is I sign up to take care 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.719 of my mother. I take her to a doctor. I 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.520 ask that doctor to approve her for home health care 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.920 because she is old and she has a lot of. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:11.960 Aches and pains. 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.080 The providers pushed back and said, your mother doesn't qualify. Well, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.719 then I go and find another doctor who's willing to 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.520 There's several doctors in town that have now been identified as. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.800 Part of this alleged fraud. They'll rubber stamp it. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.440 Many of them allegedly are getting a kickback because now 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.600 that you've rubber stamped it, I'm making money Right between 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.560 twelve hours. So let's say I need a lot of 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.960 care for my mother twenty four hours, so I can 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.880 sit at home and apparently take care of my mother 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.960 for seventy five to ninety thousand dollars. Now I say 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:44.880 my dad needs home health care, that's one hundred and 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:45.520 eighty thousand. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.719 Then I moved my husband's parents into my home. 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.719 I mean, all of this racks up for individuals that 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.000 many of them don't need home health care services, and 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:59.239 there's one individual, one provider that's basically pocketing the money, 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.680 and many of them are allegedly getting kickbacks for helping. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.839 Some of these individuals are going door to door to 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.600 recruit more individuals, and the services are not being provided 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.840 because many of these people really don't need home healthcare services. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.880 It's a massive scam. It needs to be looked into. 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.599 We need to revise the way that we're just handing 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.000 out taxpair dollars. And my bigger issue with all of 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.000 this is how do you come from another country to 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.600 America The first thing you sign up for is welfare. 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.000 That's a red flag for me. 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.080 Well, it happened in Minnesota and Columbus is the second 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.680 highest population of Somalis. Is this a Somali problem or 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.719 is it a welfare problem? Because most of those who 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.520 have gained the system so far have been Somalis, most 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.479 not even here legally, most are not citizens. But is 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.039 this a Somali problem or an American problem? 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:50.400 It's both. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.080 It's both to sit and demonize, and I will not 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.680 do this. I know people love to corner me on this. 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.000 I think you would agree with me. I think immigrants 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.599 value to our country. But what I have unfortunately seen 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:08.080 from the Somali population, many of them have benefited off 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.560 of a welfare system, and many of them, at least 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.160 in Minnesota, based on indictments, there's alleged fraud. So there's 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.200 a massive problem in the system, and there's a massive 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:18.440 problem in the population. 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.960 And it's not only Somali. I said this many. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.680 Weeks ago on Sean Hannedy's show, it's bootees, And look, 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.920 President Trump just came out with the truth social thing. 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.680 Boot needs are the number one recipients of welfare. So 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.440 when you put blocks of people in the United States 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.200 together who've never been asked to assimilate, who don't speak 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.520 English well, and then somebody is teaching them how to 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.480 gain the system, whether it's welfare and home healthcare or daycares. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:45.920 That's how fraud occurs. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.280 And then in the state of Ohio, we have to 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.560 actually audit our audit system because there's loopholes. We need 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.840 to get in a room with US attorneys and the 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.880 DOJ to talk about all the problems with our legislature, 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.240 all the problems with the Department of Youth Services, and 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.640 come up with a plan, a better audit, a better checklist. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.119 The fact that people are saying in government there's nothing 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.200 to see here as a red flag to me because 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.400 they're not doing their job. They're just pushing paperwork back 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.480 and forth. Paperwork doesn't tell you if there's fraud. You 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:16.440 actually have to use your. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:17.200 Eyes and ears. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.600 That's what I want from state officeholders today to actually 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.680 take this seriously and to change the system. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.520 Well, one other area of fraud, and Nick Shirley is 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.120 doing great work. I can't imagine a twenty two year 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:34.280 old YouTuber uncovering billions of dollars worth of fraud in Minnesota. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.280 He posted a video he said, in Minnesota, there's more 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:43.079 than one thousand fraudulent medical transportation companies. In fact, one 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:48.520 transportation company received four million dollars in one month for 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:54.120 transporting patients to and from appointments when there was It's 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.760 impossible when you do the math for this one company 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.400 to have done that. And is that another area ripe 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.400 with fraud? To say, some patient has an appointment with 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.199 a doctor who's on the take, you take them from 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.360 your home to the doctor and doctor and back and 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.559 do that repeatedly. Is that also ripe with fraud? The 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.840 Medicaid transportation system with all these ambulances so to speak, 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:17.920 that don't exist. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.760 Yes, all of the anytime you have taxpayer dollars going out, 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.640 it's not my money or your money, it's our collective 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.160 money that is going in. And the state then is 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.240 abusing the system by allowing for something like this to occur. 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.880 We have to audit every welfare program. I have not 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.040 looked into medical transport. I am up to my ears 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.400 between individuals that have come out as whistleblowers that are 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.880 giving me evidence, but one hundred percent, I mean, this 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:50.760 is a systematic issue with the American system of welfare, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.120 and so we have to look at ourselves too and 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.080 say what did we do wrong and how do we 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:55.679 fix it? 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.360 But we can't say it's the cost of doing business. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.880 We actually have to roll up our sleep and do 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.960 something different otherwise this is a definition of insanity. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:04.240 To me. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.760 You used the term cost of doing business. There was 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.440 an interview that one of the PR directors for Governor 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.959 Mike DeWine who said that some fraud is the cost 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.640 of doing business. And when I saw that, I thought, 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.560 are you kidding me? How's that a cost of doing business? 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.200 And I guess, as in ohioan most of the other 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.440 states are blue cities, blue states completely controlled by the 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.920 Democratic Party, Ohio is the only state which is a 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:34.160 so called republican state having similar problems. Since you live here, 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.000 are you particularly concerned that if the state government is saying, well, 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.680 fraud is the cost of doing business, that's a problem. 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.000 It is. I don't accept the status quo. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.480 And look, I believe every bureaucrat that tells me that 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.880 they did the audits through paperwork. But my problem with 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.920 the audit system is it's broken. When you go into 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.960 a daycare and you see feces, you see bottles that 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.679 haven't been cleaned, see there's no betting, crib blood stains 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.200 on sheets, and then you allow them to operate on 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.640 a conditional license and don't come back for three to 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.079 five months. That's a red flag that means our system 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.200 is broken. The cost of fraud is exponential. And I 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.000 have to ask any person listening today, when you get 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.000 a thirty dollars charge on your whether it's Chase Bank 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.520 or any bank you use, and it's not your charge, 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.160 I guarantee you ninety percent of the audience called the 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.800 bank to say this wasn't my charge. So imagine if 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.719 it's millions of dollars. You don't think the government has 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.240 a duty to protect us because if they're rolling up 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.080 their sleeves and saying our hands are clean, I have 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.240 a huge issue with that because they're then complicit by 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.680 giving our tax dollars and not protecting us. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:45.040 May Cook. 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.160 I also spoke to the state office holders that I'll 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.920 reference the auditor, the attorney general of the Governor's office, 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.520 and they're saying this can't happen in Ohio in a 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.240 broad fashion because we don't deal with enrollment. We deal 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.800 with attendant and so that's the key hook they hang 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.960 their hat on that there's not massive fraud because we 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.600 have an attendance when you go to these so called 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.439 daycare centers. How much attendance do you see? 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:12.480 Not much? 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.880 And here's here's the key to attendance today. When I asked, 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.320 if I forget to enroll my child as they're walking 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.199 through the door because I was running with their lunchbox, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.360 how do I change the attendance numbers? They said that 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:32.000 every administrator can go back and change attendance numbers. They 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.560 just have to use a phone number and they're able 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.160 to do it. And by the way, most of these 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:40.240 compliance reports that I've read, the biggest issue is attendance. Well, 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.760 if the biggest issue is attendance, are you paying them 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.320 State of Ohio or are you not? And if you're allowing 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.920 people to change attendance records, that's another red flag. So 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.400 again there's loopholes and you can't just strictly stay based 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.240 on attendance. We know that they're doing everything they should 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:59.200 be doing. That's like a cover up of your audit system. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.200 Why not ask the question why are people changing the 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:06.600 numbers of enrollment if they've forgotten to check in their child, 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.360 that sounds like a loophole to me. And secondly, if 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.079 it purely is attendance, who's checking those records. Are you 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.520 checking records at midnight? I don't know any state office 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:17.840 holder who's work until midnight? 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.280 Do you no, not exactly? 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.640 I don't think so. And medicaid fraud is another thing 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:29.280 ripe for the abuse and the Somalis. In a sense, 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:33.160 individual Somalis that are here under temporary protective status and 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.200 most of a lot of that's been pulled, are simply 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.720 part of a system. They may be in their own minds, 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.760 their think they came from a war ravaged country where 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:46.120 most Somalis at home living garbage dumps, and they come 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.040 here and all of a sudden, they may think themselves, 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.719 this is like part of the deal, this is what 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.720 living in America is that I get paid. And so 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.960 I like to think there's some innocence on the behalf 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.840 of individuals Solly's, for example, because they don't know what 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.760 they're doing. Do you have some empathy for individuals who 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.280 think this is the way we operate? 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:09.760 One hundred percent. 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.680 I sat down with the Somalian business owner that didn't 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.640 want to be on camera because she didn't. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:15.440 Have the best English. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.720 I thought she was perfectly fine, who shared that she 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:23.400 immigrated went to the Ohio State university, graduated. One of 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.760 her kids is going to be a doctor, the other 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.800 one is still working. She owns a daycare today, she 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.280 owns and operates it. She's ethical and above board. She 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.800 walked through the entire process of the check in and 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.480 how kids it's all based on attendance. But again, I 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.840 can have empathy but still ask questions. And the one 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.880 thing that raised a red flag to me is she 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.040 said that every parent that comes in with their child 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.720 checks in. I saw a parent walk in and they 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.800 didn't check in their child. Now is she going to 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.360 go back and audit that and add a child checked in? 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.600 I mean, this is where there's a problem with the 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.800 state system. They think it's so strong. I don't I 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.640 challenge that. And I'd like to have them sit down 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.160 with the US Attorney's office and go through all of 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.640 the issues that we have with their audit process. It's 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.520 not just me claiming issues. I bet you other attorneys 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.520 and auditors and tax experts could sit there and school 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.400 them on the issues. But yes, I have empathy for 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.680 any immigrant community that's trying to achieve the American dream. 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.760 I don't have empathy for somebody who is committing fraud 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.280 assault or intimidating anybody out there, including me. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.800 All I know a couple more quick inquiries. One is 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.040 that I'm told by state officials about fifty percent of 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:38.360 the Medicaid and daycare and autism and food stamps are 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.520 paid by the state and about fifty percent paid by 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.640 the Feds. The Feds are not the investigator, so to speak. 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.720 Each state should have their own investigation. I would also 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:52.040 note that the permanent representative of Somalia to the United 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:56.479 Nations is linked to a home healthcare agency in Cincinnati, 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:00.960 Ohio that was prosecuted for Medicaid fraud. His name is 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:05.560 Akbard had Osman. And according to Health and Human Services 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:10.120 that the actual ambassador from Somalia who as at the 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:15.160 United Nations is linked to a fraud in Cincinnati, Ohio. 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.400 And I would ask, well, I live here. Why isn't 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.360 that a bigger story? When the UN ambassador is part 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.240 of the fraud from Somalia, isn't that a big story? 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:26.320 Yes, he's blocked. 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.960 I mean, everybody's scared of being called racists today and 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.160 we have to stop. I don't care what anybody looks like, 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.080 I don't care what anybody sounds like. If you're committing fraud. 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:40.359 It's wrong, and every new station should be asking questions. 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.360 The fact that they're not racist red flags. I mean, 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.360 I went to the Somalian Education Resource Center, let me 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.600 tell you, four different offices, and I finally found the 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.440 forty two million dollar door with. 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.840 A group of friends and there was nobody there. 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.520 Lights out, And we have questions about what they did 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.800 with the fourteen million dollars they received in the state 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.120 of Ohio in twenty twenty five. Nobody's answering our questions. 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.280 But at some point we have to get reporters and 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.400 real journalists who want the truth to ask these questions 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.200 and stop fearing the loudest critics because the loudest critics 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.119 definitely have something to hide, and race baiting is no 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:17.159 longer acceptable. 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.119 I mean, look at what Chambondi did. She didn't care 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.639 what anybody looked like. She is indicting in Minnesota. We 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:23.760 have to do the same thing here. 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:27.399 If they're fraud, deal with a conduct and not color. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.120 There's TSA agents in Minneapolis who testified that they had 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.960 suitcases filled with American cash one hundred dollars bills going 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:39.080 in Somalia. We also have circumstances where in Minnesota, the 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.879 daycare providers who are Somalis gave to the state Democratic 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.280 Party in Minnesota twenty four million dollars. Not too many 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.199 daycare providers that are legitimate are spending off that kind 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.879 of money. It's a protection racket operated by the Democratic 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.439 Party to keep them in power. MAYA Cook, we have 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.080 to run What is your website? How to those who 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.000 want to be whistleblowers get a hold of you. 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.600 Anybody can email me at cookfo Ohio at gmail dot com. 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.120 It's Cook with an E. Please include evidence and information. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.520 We're getting a lot of tips, and my handle on 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.680 Twitter is just at the heck cook or Instagram. That's 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.000 where I've done a lot of the posting. And I 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.280 appreciate everybody who is trusting me. I'm never going to 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:23.400 share their name with. 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.399 The state and be protective. I continue to work with 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.320 them to get to the bottom of this. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.200 May I Cook, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.159 You're a great American and don't let the cries the 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.760 false claims of racism stop reality. May I Cook, thank 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.879 you very much, Thank you, thank you. Let's continue with 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.760 more news coming up. You're home of the Beangals and 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:50.160 the Reds. News Radio seven hundred WLW by Billy Cunningham, 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.919 The Great American and once again, the oil is at 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:57.640 the forefront of what's happening with many foreign policy of perspectives. 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.000 And then there's a group and many groups out there 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:01.879 in America that are working hard to make sure that 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:06.959 we don't have access to cheap energy. The American Energy 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.080 Institute has a report and a letter sent to the 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:13.800 congressional leaders that raise national security and energy policy concerns 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:18.160 about a dark money network funded activist trying to obstruct 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.560 us energy development to make sure that you pay five 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.880 dollars a gallon at the gas at the tank at 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.000 when you fill up, and let's face it, in Ohio, 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.199 we're spending about two dollars and thirty nine cents a gallon, 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.640 which only because of the policies that allow for free 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.920 flow of energy. Joan, you and I now is Jason Isaac. 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.840 He's the CEO of the American Energy Institute. And Jason Isaac, 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.280 welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. But first of all, Jason, 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.840 I see all the seizure of these so called dark 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:54.200 tankers off Venezuela and now that I guess the Trumpster's 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.919 now in charge of Venezuela, and I watched a lot 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.120 of the commentaries of the radical leftists tell us that's 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.520 got nothing to do with US energy policy, and they 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.919 tell us that the US government only buys oil to 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.760 put in this strategic petroleum reserve, and that essentially the 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:14.480 oil companies themselves are the ones that are investing in 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.000 oil production. So as far as what's happening now in 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:22.760 Venezuela with the not the kidnapping, but the arrest of Maduro, 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:27.600 what impact on American energy prices, everything happening in Venezuela 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:28.720 actually have on us. 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.600 Yeah, you should see a little bit more, even more 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.760 stability and lowering of energy prices because we're cutting out 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:40.040 a huge transportation factor of importing that heavy crude oil 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:42.160 from the Middle East. Now we're going to be getting 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:47.359 it from Venezuela that owes American businesses billions of dollars. 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:51.920 International courts have repeatedly ruled that the Maduro regime and 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:57.320 the Chavez regime before him, took billions of dollars of assets, 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:01.600 lost profits, lost revenue from America oil companies that had 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.359 risked their bottom lines to go in there and produce 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.920 oil in Venezuela. There's also the critical minerals, the rail 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:12.439 earth elements that China has been looking to seize, and 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.560 they're threatening the market of the supply of those, which 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.920 we need for our military weapons, our technology, our computers. AI. 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.760 China has a stranglehold on that and they've been threatening 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.160 withholding it. And you look, eight out of ten barrels 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.800 from Venezuela goes to China. They're buying it on the 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.639 black market. And for the first time ever, in the 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:36.119 last year, China has started to export energy. It's never 0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:40.280 happened before. They've expanded their refining capacity built in the 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.840 backbone of cheap electricity from coal. It's not big and 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:47.439 beautiful like it is here in the United States, but regardless, 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:50.959 it's cheap. They've expanded their refining capacity. They're exporting diesel, 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.920 jet fuel, and home heating oil to the global market, 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:58.000 and they're doing it buying black market oil, violating sanctions. 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.600 So what we should see is leveling off and returning 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:03.879 to market a lot of the oil that's in the 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:05.760 market right now. So this is this is a great 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:09.800 move for American consumers and really the global consumer as well. 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:15.000 And Jason Isaac it appears that compensate the oil companies 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.199 that were ripped off by billions of dollars, that twenty 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.560 five to fifty million barrels of oil. I don't know 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:23.199 if that's the day, a week, or a month are 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:25.880 going to come out of Venezuela now to pay off 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:30.120 those debts. And that's heavy crude. Explain the differential many 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:32.760 of us don't know. I just go up to Amico 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.120 and I put my put the nozzle in my car, 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.240 my Chevy, and away I go, and I like the prices. 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:43.960 But why is Venezuelan crude oil not as good as 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:48.800 maybe American energy production out of the premium base. What's 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.120 the differential between those kinds of crude oil? 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:55.040 Well, if you look at we were importing oil for 0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:58.200 decades going back to the seventies, and so our refinings, 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:02.720 our refineries were built to to process and refine heavy 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:05.520 crude oil imported from the Middle East and other places 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:09.000 around the globe and turn that into diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:14.159 home heating, oil, propane, plastics, a myriad of things that 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.000 we depend on our daily lives. And so about eighty 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.760 percent of the refining in the Gulf Coast is used 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.120 to that heavy crude oil. Now, some of them started 0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:26.840 to over the last two decades started to retrofit their 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:29.720 operations so they could handle this lighter suite. But a 0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:31.639 lot of the lighter, sweet crude out of the Permium 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:34.600 Basin is exported onto the global market, and then we 0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:37.920 in turn import heavy crude to refine that into those products. 0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:40.399 So now we're going to be seeing a lot of 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:42.960 that Venezuelan crude coming north just into the Gulf of 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:47.600 America and being refined into good products. Here we're fined 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:50.240 more responsible than anywhere else in the planet, might I add, 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:53.040 So this will be really good at giving us a 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.440 supply that's much closer than what we've previously gotten a 0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:57.159 supply from. 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:02.320 Plus American jobs. Do you see the Landsman? Do you 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:05.680 see what's happening on some of the some of the 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:08.600 special series, Billy, Bob Thorton, all that kind of stuff. 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:09.200 Is that real? 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:10.159 The Landman? 0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:10.639 Is that? 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:11.880 Do you watch that at all? 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:15.679 I do, And I have boys that have worked in 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.200 the oil field the Permium basin, and I've got a 0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:20.200 lot of my members that are there as well. It's 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:23.119 a little sensational life. I'll just say that much. 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:28.800 I love that stuffy and it reminds me of you know, Montana. 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:32.080 It reminds me what's happening there. And so you do is. 0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:33.000 That a little bit real? 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:35.280 It is? 0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:36.720 I mean, you get out of the oil field and 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.400 I've been on frack sites, I've been on drilling rigs, 0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:43.760 I've been out of production facilities, gathering facilities, and look, 0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:46.240 there are men out there that are working really hard. 0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:50.000 They come home from work really dirty. They're working twelve 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:52.280 hour shifts for two weeks on then they get a 0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:54.720 week off. In some cases some are doing fourteen on 0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:57.400 fourteen off. But there is no doubt about it. These 0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:00.720 men are working hard to provide affordable and reliable American 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:04.120 energy produced more responsible than anywhere else in the planet. 0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:05.880 And you look at some of the people that are 0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:08.760 investing in these oil and gas companies, whether it's the 0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:13.280 majors or the smaller independence companies that I represent, it's 0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:17.239 the pensions around the country, These teachers and firefighters and 0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:21.600 first responders and other government employees that have entrusted, therefore 0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.960 one K dollars or their pension dollars to the management 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.600 of companies that are then investing it. And so when 0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:31.720 Venezuela steals billions of dollars from these oil companies, they're 0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:35.840 actually stealing it from teachers, from firefighters, those first responders, 0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:39.240 people in the military that are dependent on on a pension, 0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:41.720 people that have invested in four one case. So it's 0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.800 going to be great to repatriate some of those assets 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:46.040 back into our country. 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:50.280 Oh, Yellowstone Landman Billy Bob Thornton doesn't get much better 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:51.959 than that. I like to think guys like that are 0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.160 out there maybe have hoods on their heads getting beaten 0:25:55.240 --> 0:25:58.120 by the drug cartel. Billy Bob is wonderful. Let's get 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:03.720 back to reality. Are as. The group's well funded environmental 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.040 groups fund that I might add by the Sierra Club 0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:09.879 and Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, etc. Union of Concerned Scientists. 0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:14.080 Talk about who's funding them. Why don't they want American 0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:17.120 energy independence? Why don't they want us to pay two 0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:19.159 dollars and fifty cents a gallon? They want us to 0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.919 pay five dollars a gallon? Explain what these groups are 0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:22.359 all about. 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.000 Well, there's these networks like Arabella Advisors and the Tides 0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:31.400 Foundation and these tax exempt groups that get billions of dollars, 0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:34.080 and a lot of that comes from foreign money. Just 0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:38.879 recently reported over four billion dollars from Chinese Communist Party 0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:43.840 aligned organizations directing money into our institutions of higher education 0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:47.560 here in the US. They're directing billions in the nonprofits 0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:50.879 into think tanks, trying to out have policy outcomes that 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:54.639 benefit China, the benefit Russia, the benefit Iran, that are 0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:57.200 a complete detriment to the United States. So when you 0:26:57.240 --> 0:27:00.440 have groups like the Union of Concerned Scientists, this is 0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.920 an organization that refused to look at the origins of 0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:07.240 COVID because they didn't receive a request from the governments 0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:09.760 to do it. But when the Trump administration comes out 0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:12.879 and says we're going to move to rescind the Endangerment Finding, 0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:17.400 this Obama Area era deep state finding that was put 0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:19.680 in place in two thousand and nine that says that 0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:22.480 CO two A gas is necessary for life on Earth, 0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:25.200 is harmful to the environment and human health, couldn't be 0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:27.800 further from the truth. The Trump administration is moving to 0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:31.160 rescind it. The Union of Concerned Sciences immediately came out 0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:36.400 issuing strong opinions made up some fake studies submitted comment, 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:39.560 just as Lete Pauling, you know who else submitted comment 0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:43.080 and opposition to rescinding the endangerment finding in the greenhouse 0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:48.399 gas reporting program. The Chinese Communist Party directly submitted comment 0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:52.320 through the federal government. That's resulted in a policy proposal 0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:56.080 already being filed. We uncover that broke that as well. 0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:58.720 You look at Greenpeace. I think green Peace is getting 0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:03.000 millions of dollars from around the world, but they got 0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:06.520 this judgment against them in North Dakota, over six hundred 0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:10.840 million dollar judgment because they damaged some things there on 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:14.200 a pipeline for energy transfer trying to do these protests. 0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:17.399 They were coordinating these terrorist activities. That was reduced to 0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:19.879 a little over three hundred million. But what does the 0:28:19.920 --> 0:28:22.720 green Peace do. They use the courts, and that's where 0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:25.000 all these groups are coordinated. They're using courts here in 0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:28.480 the US, and green Peace is using the EU now 0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:32.800 to sue an American based company, energy Transfer, that doesn't 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:36.080 even have operations in Europe. So they're trying to use 0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:39.320 these courts to their advantage. They've been funding and training 0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:43.320 and painting judges around the United States with false climate 0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:47.640 alarmist materials, so it is a really an interwoven web, 0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:52.840 and it's really deceitful to the American economic prosperity. And lastly, 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.240 I'll just say you look at how quick the coordination 0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:59.280 was after Maduro, this narco Paris has he got to 0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:02.640 head who you put on him? The groups within hours 0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:06.800 had already started putting posters together. The printing posters. You 0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.240 can see the exact same designs used around the country. 0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:13.640 This is the climate alarmist and the leftist narrative. They 0:29:13.720 --> 0:29:15.520 go out and they pay these actors to go out 0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:17.760 and protest. I saw some of these protests. It's interesting 0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:19.600 it's old, white, wealthy people that show up at these 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:22.520 protests while the Venezuelans are screaming for freedom out of 0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:26.040 the streets in Venezuela and also around the globe. But 0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:28.680 they're very coordinated in their efforts. It's the same thing 0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:30.320 with the climate alarmist anti. 0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:34.040 Energy movement and Jason Isaac with the American Energy Institute. 0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:38.080 It simply is paid for astro turf protesters with nothing 0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:40.640 better to do with their time than to hold up 0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:43.720 pre printed posters, acting as if they're independent when they're not. 0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:46.200 If you would take out of course I'm not going 0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:50.000 to find myself in California anytime soon. Well, what approximately 0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:52.640 is the cost for a gallon of gasoline in California. 0:29:52.920 --> 0:29:55.880 In the Midwest is between two thirty five and two 0:29:56.120 --> 0:30:00.200 seventy five a gallon? What is it in California. Yeah, 0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:01.680 you're nearing five dollars a gallon. 0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:06.720 You look in California and dates like Washington, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.360 those are four of the highest five states in the 0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:13.080 US for fuel taxes. So really the national gallon average 0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:15.160 is closer to two dollars a gallon, but when you 0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:18.040 add in these states with really high fuel taxes and 0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:21.840 penalties on certain types of fuel, it's much higher. It 0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:24.640 matters where you live, and more importantly, it matters who 0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:28.800 you elect. In places like California are attacking American affordable 0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.440 and reliable energy to the detriment of the people live 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:32.160 in California. 0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:36.320 And lastly, I tell the story and when my mother 0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:40.880 was a girl, they had coal delivered through the basement 0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:43.320 in a shoot. Then they pick up the coal, put 0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:45.800 it into the furnace and away you go. And then 0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:49.000 once a week they would have to clean the coal 0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:52.760 dust out of the inside of the house. That accumulated 0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:56.080 on tables and chairs on the floor. Had to clean 0:30:56.200 --> 0:30:58.120 the coal dust out of the home. By the way, 0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:00.720 my mother lived to be almost ninety years old. That's 0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:05.560 another story, but explain how clean coal is a different 0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:10.000 beast than it was decades ago. In fact, clean coal 0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.320 is a wonderful way of heating homes at a low 0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:17.280 cost because we have hundreds of years supply what technologically 0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:21.240 is happening now that makes whether it's natural gas, oil, 0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:25.840 or coal, a much better alternative than being cold in 0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:30.680 the winter and warm in the summer. What's happening technologically, no. 0:31:30.720 --> 0:31:33.120 Abilly, It's been amazing. Over the last fifty years, the 0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.720 United States has become a world leader in clean air. 0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:39.600 We've reduced pollution the six criteria pollutants that in certain 0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:42.200 concentrations are said to impact human health. We've produced that 0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:46.160 nearly eighty percent over the last five decades. And it's 0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:49.320 because of pollution control technology. I've set testified in front 0:31:49.320 --> 0:31:51.160 of Congress multiple times, and I've said, of all the 0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.880 technology the Chinese steal from us, it'd be nice I 0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:57.640 would utilize our pollution control technology. But that's about effective 0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:00.400 as their missile defense systems In Venezuela. They don't use it. 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:03.440 It's not effective in China, and so there's actually cold 0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:07.280 us dropping in southern California. Over sixty percent of the 0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:11.600 pollution in Southern California is Asian air pollution because they 0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.240 don't use pollution control technology like we do here in 0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:17.360 the United States, and that technology is primarily bag houses 0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.800 in scrubbers. They're like giant filters that go on power 0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:25.400 plants in industry to capture the pollutants. During the COVID lockdowns, 0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:27.360 we took half the cars off the road to the 0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:30.960 United States because our government shut us down, locked us 0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:33.440 in our homes, closed businesses. People are losing their lives. 0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:36.080 They are losing their livelihoods. And what happened to the 0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:39.600 air quality in this country. Nothing. It got worse in 0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:43.160 some cities. It was slightly improved in others, but it 0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:46.280 was negligible. There's no meaningful improvement in air quality, and 0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:49.400 you take half the cars off the road. Our air 0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:52.600 story is one that's not told. It's unfortunate. Over sixty 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:55.360 percent of the population doesn't know about it. We're also 0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:58.000 number one in access to clean and safe drinking water. 0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:01.080 That's something seven billion people on the planet would love 0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:05.240 to experience access to clean and safe drinking water. That's 0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:09.480 seven eighths of the global population would love to have 0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:12.360 we take for granted here in the United States. It's 0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:16.120 all powered by our economic prosperity, our environmental leadership, which 0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:19.360 is made possible only possible with access to affordable and 0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:22.800 reliable energy. That's natural gas, that's coal, that's oil, and 0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:23.880 that's nuclear. 0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:27.440 And it's not windmills, it's not solar panels. So you're 0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:30.680 saying a chunk of the air pollution in California is 0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:33.920 coming from China, who refuses to use our technology. 0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:38.959 Correct, that's absolutely right. And as the California increases regulations, 0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:41.920 the business just move over to China because it's the 0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.360 lower cost to do business there. They move over to China, 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.040 they move over across the border into Mexico, and so 0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:50.600 we're actually exporting jobs and we're importing the pollution. 0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:55.720 Well, Karen Bess is an idiot, and she's very popular, 0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:59.280 and I'm certain Gavin Newsom, if he wants to be 0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:02.240 continue to run as the governor, he can do that. 0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:07.360 He's popular, I think. But imagine if California's energy policies 0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:10.840 was put in the lap of Gavin Newsom as the 0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:14.279 president in twenty twenty eight, what America would look like then? 0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:17.239 We would not recognize, more people would be on government help, 0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:21.000 There'd be more welfare fraud, We'd have lesser, fewer cars, 0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:25.600 less economic development, less technological advances. And that's what's on 0:34:25.719 --> 0:34:29.839 the ballot, including this November and in twenty twenty eight. 0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:32.320 Well we have to run in Jason isiac. What is 0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:33.200 your website if. 0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:36.799 Any American Energyinstitute dot com? 0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:38.680 You're a great American. 0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:39.120 Jason. 0:34:39.160 --> 0:34:41.719 God bless you and God bless America. And thanks for 0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:45.319 coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Jason, God 0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:47.439 bless you, Billy, thanks for having me on. Well, let's 0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:51.319 continue with more. Well, the truth will set us free. 0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:53.680 Do you want to live in a society with six 0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:56.520 and seven dollars a gallon gasoline? Or what's happening now? 0:34:56.960 --> 0:34:59.719 The environment we live in now is the result of technology. 0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:11.800 Keep it going, Bill Cunningham, seven hundred WLW by Bill Cunningham, 0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:12.320 The Great. 0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:14.279 Merit and I'm working again coming up there. 0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:16.799 So we're after two o'clock today. We have Governor Mike 0:35:16.880 --> 0:35:20.640 DeWine on to discuss his endorsement of a Ake Ramaswami. 0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:25.000 There's been some speculation there was some angst between the 0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:28.080 governor and Ramaswami. So we're going to get into that 0:35:28.200 --> 0:35:31.240 after two o'clock today. As you know, Amy Acton, Doctor 0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:35.000 Amy Acton is the Democratic nominee. You're in Ohio is 0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:38.520 uh was one of the devotees of Governor Mike DeWine 0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:41.520 during the COVID disaster, and so we're going to ferret 0:35:41.560 --> 0:35:45.160 out from Governor Mike DeWine. Wise he's endorsing vi Ake Ramaswami, 0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:48.880 and of course Uh not endorsing doctor Amy Acton, who 0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:51.279 was in charge of all the lockdowns in the state 0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:56.840 of Ohio. But until then, the great John Lott l 0:35:56.920 --> 0:36:00.000 Ott John Lott worked for years in the Trump administry 0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:03.719 in the first term. He's an expert researcher when it 0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:06.960 comes to guns and violence, more guns, less crime, and 0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:09.920 author He's done many things, great degrees from many of 0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:12.080 the great universities. And I noticed in the New York 0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:15.040 Post a few days back there was a big headline 0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:19.440 new data reveals the horrific truth about illegal immigrant crime 0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:23.000 and John Lott. Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show, 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:25.080 and first of all John. What I hear from the 0:36:25.200 --> 0:36:28.320 radical left, from CNN, MS Now and so many others 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:33.560 is that immigrant crime immigrants commit fewer crimes than American citizens, 0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:36.480 and therefore they should be welcome because there's such a benefit. 0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:40.040 We've had on guests before, May Cook and many others 0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:44.440 Ken Blackwell et cetera. Talking about the amount of illegal 0:36:44.760 --> 0:36:51.480 activities involving welfare, whether it's daycare, autism, medicaid, foods and fraud, 0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:54.680 home health fraud. It's massive. But one thing that is 0:36:54.760 --> 0:36:59.000 a predicate of inviting into our country more citizens from 0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:02.200 third world country, this is the fact they don't commit crime. Now, 0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:05.280 can you tell the American people what are the facts 0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:10.160 about aliens, illegal aliens or immigrants committing crime relative to 0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:14.640 native born Americans. Give us a full report, right, thanks, 0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:15.759 Happy New Year. 0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:20.719 Look, the type of data looking at immigrants as a 0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:26.200 whole mixes together illegal and legal immigrants. Legal immigrants do 0:37:26.560 --> 0:37:30.680 tend to commit crime at very low rates. Unfortunately, illegal 0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:34.680 immigrants tend to commit crime at extremely high rates compared 0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:39.000 to native born Americans. And we can see this with 0:37:39.160 --> 0:37:41.799 some recent data that just came out for the state 0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:42.359 of New York. 0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:43.680 New York. 0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:50.480 ICE put out indicated that they had seven and thirteen 0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:55.600 detainers on those who are currently incarcerated in New York 0:37:55.800 --> 0:38:00.600 State prisons in jails. You know, you're talking about individuals. 0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:03.759 One hundred and forty eight were there for homicides, you 0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:07.920 had them there for child rape, hundreds, you know, seven 0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:12.480 hundred for assaults and so on. And the thing is, 0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:17.800 if you compare that to their share of the overall 0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:21.840 prison and jail populations in the state, which is about 0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:26.960 fifty thousand people total there, that's fourteen percent. And you 0:38:27.040 --> 0:38:30.160 can compare that then to the share of the population 0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:34.880 that illegals reportedly have in New York. The highest estimate 0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:37.680 from Pew comes from Pew when they say it's about 0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:42.360 four percent. So you compare that fourteen percent to the 0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:45.239 four percent that they make up in the general population, 0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:49.239 they're way over represented. And the problem is that four 0:38:49.360 --> 0:38:53.160 percent is very clearly an underestimate. 0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:53.480 For many reasons. 0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:57.560 One reason is New York as a sanctuary state, is 0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:03.080 not assisting ICE in identifying who might be an illegal 0:39:03.160 --> 0:39:05.160 who's incarcerated in the state. 0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:10.759 There Also, as you may know, ICE will go and. 0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:18.160 Stay at different courthouses for when illegals are either convicted 0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:21.920 or whether they're charged with the crimes and pick them 0:39:22.040 --> 0:39:24.799 up and deport them right at that point, so they 0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:29.080 never make it in to the prison or jail populations 0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:33.480 in the state. CBS had a report that just over 0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:35.279 a two month period. 0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:39.080 This last year, just in New York. 0:39:38.960 --> 0:39:43.040 City alone, there were four hundred and sixty of those 0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:46.400 illegal aliens who were picked up at the courthouse and 0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:50.680 deported at that stage. So, you know, four hundred and 0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:53.400 sixty just from two months, just from one place in 0:39:53.480 --> 0:39:56.279 the state. You know that you can see that that 0:39:56.480 --> 0:40:00.680 seven one hundred could be a big underestimate. And there 0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:02.920 are other reasons we can go into too, but it's 0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:07.600 very clear, and this doesn't even take into account the 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:12.360 almost seven thousand illegal aliens who had been convicted and 0:40:12.640 --> 0:40:18.080 served time in prison and jails who were released this 0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:18.799 last year. 0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:24.080 Also, I look at these numbers according to the Homeland 0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:28.320 Security one hundred and forty eight homicides, seven hundred and 0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:32.440 seventeen assaults, one hundred and thirty four burglaries, one hundred 0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:36.160 and six robberies, two hundred and thirty six dangerous drug offenses, 0:40:36.320 --> 0:40:39.520 one hundred and fifty two weapons offenses, two hundred and 0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:43.839 sixty sexual predatory offenses. And you often talk about there's 0:40:43.880 --> 0:40:47.760 a differential between crimes committed on one hand and arrest 0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:50.600 and conviction on the other, that the arrest and conviction 0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:54.440 is a small number of the crimes committed. So explain 0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:55.880 that to the American people. 0:40:57.200 --> 0:41:00.880 Right, Well, we know, in general, only about forty percent 0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:04.440 of violent crimes and only about thirty percent of property 0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:06.280 crimes are reported to police. 0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:08.239 And there are lots of reasons for that. 0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:10.759 Whether or not people think that the. 0:41:10.800 --> 0:41:14.120 People are going to be caught and punished has a 0:41:14.200 --> 0:41:17.880 significant role in that. But this is particularly important when 0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:21.239 you're talking about crimes by illegals, and the reason is 0:41:21.480 --> 0:41:26.600 that criminals tend to commit crimes against people who are 0:41:26.719 --> 0:41:30.640 similar to them. You know, ninety percent of blacks are 0:41:30.760 --> 0:41:34.960 murdered by other blacks. Hispanics is about eighty percent are 0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:40.200 murdered by other Hispanics, for example. And if illegals tend 0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:44.080 to commit crimes against other illegals, which is pretty clearly 0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:48.080 the case, not exclusively, but if they disproportionately tend to 0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:57.279 do that, then what happens is you're going to underrepresent 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:03.600 their share of reported crimes because illegals might be unwilling 0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:07.640 to go and report crimes to the police, no. 0:42:07.800 --> 0:42:10.400 Question about it, because they don't want to be identified 0:42:10.440 --> 0:42:14.160 as victims and may be deported. So the seven and 0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:18.880 fourteen number is a small number compared to the crimes committed. 0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:23.240 And I also would point out that you were involved 0:42:23.280 --> 0:42:25.719 in the Uvalde situation as far as talking about the 0:42:25.760 --> 0:42:28.000 police and what they did and didn't do. One of 0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:31.040 the officers is on trial in Uvalde, Texas for not 0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:36.920 responding appropriately to that deranged criminal that went into a 0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:39.640 classroom and killed a bunch of students, and there were 0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:42.880 no armed teachers. There's no one around in that situation, 0:42:43.120 --> 0:42:45.960 which feeds into many things you've said, which means more guns, 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:49.600 less crime. And so one thing that's happened in my 0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:52.800 home state of Ohio is that there are local sheriffs 0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:57.120 who have trained personnel, like in Butler County where Richard K. Jones, 0:42:57.160 --> 0:43:01.720 who are teachers vice principals principles to discreetly carry weapons 0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:03.759 to make it less likely someone's going to pick that 0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:07.440 particular school to commit an offense. Another thing that weighs 0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:11.600 into this is sanctuary status of cities and states right now, 0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:14.479 because if you're a sanctuary city, and you won't share 0:43:14.560 --> 0:43:18.440 information like Minnesota, which is having terrible problems. And I'm 0:43:18.480 --> 0:43:20.480 glad that Governor Tim Waltz is not going to run 0:43:20.520 --> 0:43:24.000 for reelection. I fear that citizens of Minnesota would probably 0:43:24.120 --> 0:43:27.240 re elect him, and that there are many county jails 0:43:27.280 --> 0:43:30.239 and city jails that don't share information. So instead of 0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:34.959 arresting someone with a federal criminal warrant in prison, which 0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:38.640 is protecting of both parties, they let them go and 0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:41.080 then once they get into the community, then there has 0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:44.040 to be an entire raid to arrest someone with a warrant. 0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:46.640 So what are the dangers like in the blue cities 0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:50.360 and blue states when they don't participate in the federal 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:53.160 function of law enforcement? And the act is if the 0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:56.520 Feds or shall I say, an invading force. In fact, 0:43:56.600 --> 0:44:01.000 this incident with a ice of officials were tried to 0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:03.959 be rammed by a woman in a white pickup truck 0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:08.080 and she was shot and as a consequence, it creates 0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:12.120 havoc and turmoil. And so how much easier is it 0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:16.359 if you have red cities, red states that will tell 0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:20.440 the Feds this person is here, we will honor your detainer, 0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:26.520 pick them up that's safer for everyone, correct, Yeah, of course. 0:44:27.480 --> 0:44:29.759 Look, I mean I think one of the reasons why 0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:33.840 we've seen this huge record dropped and murders in the 0:44:33.960 --> 0:44:36.800 United States, it looks like we're going to be on 0:44:37.000 --> 0:44:40.839 track for the lowest murder rate ever recorded in US 0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:45.640 history this past year. It has to do with many things. 0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:48.560 You know, obviously, the FBI has doubled the number of 0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:51.120 arrests this last year compared to what they were in 0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:55.080 twenty twenty four, but also what Trump has been doing 0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:58.960 with regard to deporting criminal illegal aliens. 0:44:59.200 --> 0:45:00.680 You know, not only do you go and you. 0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:04.719 Take the criminals off the street there, but even the 0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:08.360 ones that you haven't caught, they don't want to get deported. 0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:11.239 And so what they do is they want to keep 0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:13.279 off of police radar. And how do you keep off 0:45:13.320 --> 0:45:17.080 of police radar. You stop committing or commit fewer crimes, 0:45:17.440 --> 0:45:18.880 so you're not going to be as much of a 0:45:18.960 --> 0:45:22.680 target for the police to go after. And so, you know, 0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:26.560 it's not a coincidence that we've seen what looks like, 0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:29.560 at least for the first nine months of the year, 0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:35.000 a twenty percent drop in murders. And my guess is 0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:39.600 when the data comes out for all the crimes. It's 0:45:39.680 --> 0:45:43.680 coming September for last year, it's going to show a 0:45:43.760 --> 0:45:47.560 big drop in violent crimes across the board. You just 0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:50.200 to get people an idea of what we're talking about 0:45:50.440 --> 0:45:54.359 in terms of percentages. You know, we just had during 0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:59.280 the Biden administration, the largest percentage increase in violent crime 0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:03.320 over for a year period time that's ever been recorded. 0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:07.400 It went up by fifty nine percent. There's no time 0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:11.360 that's even remotely close to that. It's like a little 0:46:11.360 --> 0:46:15.160 bit more than half or twice what it was previously. 0:46:15.760 --> 0:46:20.360 And so you know, here, I think you're going to 0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:23.600 see violent crime reverse that trend that occurred. 0:46:23.640 --> 0:46:24.920 And with murders. 0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:30.080 In twenty twenty four, we had about five murders per 0:46:30.160 --> 0:46:31.400 one hundred thousand people. 0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:34.560 The highest or the. 0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:37.719 Lowest that we'd previously had was four point five per 0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:41.239 one hundred thousand. But we're on track right now to 0:46:41.440 --> 0:46:44.960 have about four or slightly less than four per hundred thousand. 0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:48.480 That's a huge that's a huge difference from one of 0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:51.160 was the lowest that we'd ever previously recorded. 0:46:52.600 --> 0:46:54.480 And you point out in your story in the New 0:46:54.600 --> 0:46:57.160 York Post a few days ago, the Biden administration admitted 0:46:57.520 --> 0:47:01.359 the nine percent of the seven point four million non 0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:05.560 detained illegal immigrants at ittality already had criminal records. And 0:47:05.640 --> 0:47:07.880 you also point out in your story of the cost 0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:11.520 we're worried about the cost of fraud somalis when it 0:47:11.560 --> 0:47:15.040 comes to daycare or medicaid or food stamps or home health. 0:47:15.520 --> 0:47:18.440 What are the cost just in one city or one 0:47:18.520 --> 0:47:22.479 state in New York about housing illegals who commit crime? 0:47:22.760 --> 0:47:25.200 And let's face it, the majority of people brought in 0:47:25.360 --> 0:47:29.000 by the Biden administration I contend illegally for those four years. 0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:33.680 We're young, poorly educated, unattached males who are the formula 0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:36.520 for more crime being committed. But what are the costs 0:47:36.560 --> 0:47:38.200 in New York City and New York State to the 0:47:38.320 --> 0:47:41.480 taxpayers that are born indirectly by all of us when 0:47:41.560 --> 0:47:45.600 you start detaining thousands and thousands of illegal aliens shouldn't 0:47:45.640 --> 0:47:47.400 be here in the first place. How much money does 0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:47.799 it cost? 0:47:49.840 --> 0:47:52.360 That costs a lot. Look, we can't get an exact 0:47:52.440 --> 0:47:56.120 figure because we don't know how many of these individuals 0:47:56.200 --> 0:47:59.360 that Ice issued detainers on were in the prison system 0:47:59.480 --> 0:48:03.240 versus the jail system. Those two systems have different costs 0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:07.200 of incarcerating people. But if you the prison system costs 0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:10.239 are less, and if you assume that all of the 0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:14.720 illegals who are incarcerated are incarcerated in the prison system, 0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:18.120 you're talking about a billion dollars a year. You know, 0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:20.799 that's a billion dollars a year the State of New 0:48:20.880 --> 0:48:25.960 York could save if they let Ice take those individuals 0:48:26.040 --> 0:48:31.600 and deport them. But you know, you mentioned the data 0:48:31.680 --> 0:48:35.600 that finally came out before the election in twenty twenty 0:48:35.680 --> 0:48:39.600 four showing that nine percent of the so called non 0:48:39.719 --> 0:48:43.120 detained individuals who were at least in the country had 0:48:43.200 --> 0:48:44.000 criminal records. 0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:45.720 The problem is that's. 0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:50.080 Clearly a huge underestimate. The reason is is because many 0:48:50.680 --> 0:48:55.320 of those illegals came from countries like Venezuela, for example, 0:48:55.800 --> 0:49:00.480 that refuse to provide information on the criminal back grounds 0:49:00.840 --> 0:49:04.959 of those individuals. So the Biden administration just put them down. 0:49:05.080 --> 0:49:08.400 As you know, we don't know whether they had criminal backgrounds, 0:49:08.440 --> 0:49:13.040 and we know Venezuela, for example, in other countries released 0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:16.960 people from prisons in jails in order to have them 0:49:17.080 --> 0:49:20.560 come to the United States. They were not exactly people 0:49:20.680 --> 0:49:22.640 that they wanted to go and have to spend their 0:49:22.719 --> 0:49:27.279 own money on keeping in prison, So you know, there 0:49:27.320 --> 0:49:31.399 are multiple reasons for you know, the thing is, these 0:49:31.600 --> 0:49:37.880 non detained individuals were almost exclusively individuals who voluntarily turned 0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:41.000 themselves into the border. Those are not the ones that 0:49:41.120 --> 0:49:44.319 you should be most concerned about. You know, we had 0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:48.839 about two point one million so called guideways that came 0:49:48.960 --> 0:49:51.759 into the United States during the Biden administration. These are 0:49:51.840 --> 0:49:55.719 people that we saw coming across the border but we 0:49:55.840 --> 0:49:59.840 didn't catch. And then we have untold millions that we 0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:02.480 never even saw come across the border. And the reason 0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:07.160 is that the Buying administration had pulled seventy six percent 0:50:07.800 --> 0:50:10.600 of the border agents off of guarding the border and 0:50:10.719 --> 0:50:12.240 instead we're using them. 0:50:12.560 --> 0:50:14.279 To go and process illegals. 0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:19.320 And also about thirty percent of the passive monitoring equipment, 0:50:19.400 --> 0:50:22.560 the cameras and other things were broken during the Buying 0:50:22.600 --> 0:50:26.880 administration and they were not fixing them. So between pulling 0:50:26.960 --> 0:50:31.040 agents off the border and having broken equipment over large 0:50:31.120 --> 0:50:34.640 parts of the border that weren't even you know, monitoring 0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:38.640 people coming across, we have no idea how many more millions, 0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:41.200 And those are the ones that you should be most 0:50:41.320 --> 0:50:44.520 concerned about. There's a reason why they didn't turn themselves 0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:46.840 in at the border and get you know, the the 0:50:47.440 --> 0:50:50.960 prepaid credit cards, and get housing and get food and 0:50:51.080 --> 0:50:54.360 get you know, transportation to wherever in the country they 0:50:54.440 --> 0:50:54.840 wanted to go. 0:50:56.400 --> 0:50:58.560 Well, I want to put a sharper pont in something 0:50:58.600 --> 0:51:00.360 you say in the story in the New York Post. 0:51:00.920 --> 0:51:04.000 It's hardly surprising. The violent crime surged by a record 0:51:04.080 --> 0:51:07.840 fifty nine percent during Joe Biden's four years in office, 0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:11.560 the largest percentage increase ever over any four year period 0:51:11.600 --> 0:51:15.160 in American history. At the same time, the United States 0:51:15.239 --> 0:51:19.440 experience and then president influx of illegal aliens. It's almost 0:51:19.520 --> 0:51:23.280 as if one intends the logical consequences of one's behavior, 0:51:23.680 --> 0:51:27.320 which means Joe Biden, etc. Wanted to flood the country 0:51:27.400 --> 0:51:32.319 with illegals. Get them incorporated into societies largely all over 0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:38.000 the country. Give them day care benefits, autism benefits, medical benefits, 0:51:38.239 --> 0:51:42.360 food stamp benefits, home health care benefits. Get them registered 0:51:42.400 --> 0:51:45.440 to vote as quickly as possible. Minnesota has a system 0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:49.319 where a sponsor can vouch for eight other people who 0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:52.799 are voting without an ID and that's how Democrats stayed 0:51:52.840 --> 0:51:56.239 in power and in Minnesota in one year, the so 0:51:56.480 --> 0:52:00.360 called daycare providers gave to the Democrats twenty three million 0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:03.600 dollars in political donations. I don't know too many daycare 0:52:03.680 --> 0:52:05.960 providers throwing off that kind of money. It was the 0:52:06.080 --> 0:52:09.520 protection racket that's finally going to be broken. We got 0:52:09.640 --> 0:52:13.359 to run John Lott Crimeresearch dot Org. All the doubt 0:52:13.480 --> 0:52:16.560 is there crimeresearch dot Org. And once again, John Lott, 0:52:16.760 --> 0:52:19.000 thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And the 0:52:19.120 --> 0:52:21.480 truth will set us all free.

One other 0:52:29.239 --> 0:52:32.040 great reason to support Donald Trump is what John Lott 0:52:32.160 --> 0:52:35.320 just said.

We lead off with the sixteen and oh 0:53:27.600 --> 0:53:32.520 Miami RedHawks beating Western Michigan last night eighty seven seventy six, 0:53:32.680 --> 0:53:35.440 the first team in the nation with that record and 0:53:35.600 --> 0:53:38.479 is a school record twenty fourth straight win at Malett Hall. 0:53:39.280 --> 0:53:43.840 And on the other side, West Virginia rallies late to 0:53:43.920 --> 0:53:48.320 beat the Bearcats sixty two to sixty in Morgantown. Bearcats 0:53:48.400 --> 0:53:50.800 up fifty seven to fifty two with under five to go, 0:53:51.800 --> 0:53:54.040 you see just three points the rest of the way. 0:53:54.880 --> 0:53:59.040 Mountaineers go on a ten oh run and get the win. Overall, 0:53:59.080 --> 0:54:01.239 the Bearcats are eight seven to zero and two now 0:54:01.280 --> 0:54:07.680 into Big twelve under mister Wes Miller, the Bearcatcher. He 0:54:07.880 --> 0:54:12.720 is three and fifty when when trailing with five minutes 0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:14.960 remaining in a game, Well, I. 0:54:15.120 --> 0:54:20.480 Say that again, six percent, three fifty. Yep, that's not 0:54:20.560 --> 0:54:21.719 good segment, that's not good. 0:54:22.239 --> 0:54:24.279 As you said, Well, he has Zavi's back. In action 0:54:24.400 --> 0:54:27.280 to night at Marquette six thirty here on seven hundred WLW. 0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:31.600 Missouri will take on Kentucky at seven on ESPN fifteen thirty. 0:54:32.480 --> 0:54:34.680 Let's see Bengals update brought to you my good spirits 0:54:34.719 --> 0:54:37.600 winding to Baco on Party Town thirteen convenient locations in 0:54:37.680 --> 0:54:42.080 northern Kentucky. The Cleveland Browns have requested an interview with 0:54:42.160 --> 0:54:47.360 Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher in regarding their head coaching vacancy. 0:54:48.120 --> 0:54:49.160 What about that segment. 0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:52.560 I guess they want to talk to him, and Bengals 0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:54.600 can say yeay or nay, but they got a lot 0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:57.200 of I mean, I think I think if I was 0:54:57.320 --> 0:55:00.920 Dan Pitcher, I'd stay here with Joe Burrow story instead 0:55:00.960 --> 0:55:03.880 of going to the you know what hole of Cleveland 0:55:03.960 --> 0:55:07.480 with the Browns where they've had seventeen thousand different quarterbacks 0:55:07.880 --> 0:55:08.920 in like six months. 0:55:10.400 --> 0:55:14.840 If I'm Dan Pitcher, who sounds like a baseball but nonetheless, 0:55:14.880 --> 0:55:17.480 if I'm Dan Pitcher and I want to coach an offense, 0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:20.279 I'm not sure I'm going to Cleveland, And no, I'm 0:55:20.280 --> 0:55:20.839 not going there. 0:55:21.239 --> 0:55:26.160 You want to go from Joe Burrow to Shader Sanders. No, No, No, 0:55:27.120 --> 0:55:29.239 Red's Update. Get the latest on the Reds tonight. The 0:55:29.320 --> 0:55:31.480 Hot Stove League gets six O five here on seven 0:55:31.560 --> 0:55:36.040 hundred WLW get the latest tonight.

And then also, I 0:55:43.520 --> 0:55:45.960 don't know if you missed it yesterday, but the cowboy 0:55:47.080 --> 0:55:51.760 named Ohio sportscaster of the Year deserves it, no question. 0:55:52.280 --> 0:55:54.440 So we try to get him on, but he's en 0:55:54.520 --> 0:55:57.080 route to Saint Lucia. I don't know where he thinks, man, 0:55:57.160 --> 0:55:59.200 I'm not sure. I think he knows where that is 0:56:00.080 --> 0:56:03.600 the Caribbean somewhere. Soccer FC Cincinnati makes it official by 0:56:03.680 --> 0:56:08.800 signing Cincinnati native Kyle Smith. He's a graduate of LaSalle, 0:56:09.000 --> 0:56:12.240 the home of the Lancers, and an MLS veteran. Also, 0:56:12.600 --> 0:56:16.440 former Winton Woods soccer star Taylor White has signed a 0:56:16.520 --> 0:56:19.759 two year deal with Racing Louisville Football Club in the 0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:21.520 National Women's Soccer League. 0:56:22.480 --> 0:56:24.000 What else is going on here? Let's see? 0:56:24.840 --> 0:56:28.560 How about former Bengal wide receiver hospitalized with severe burn. 0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:31.560 I was just about to mention that, yes, Jordan Shipley, Yes, 0:56:32.440 --> 0:56:36.880 I hurt badly and his farm and I guess ranch 0:56:36.920 --> 0:56:41.000 in Texas, and they said he's burned like thirty percent 0:56:41.080 --> 0:56:45.319 of his body. So we just thoughts in prayers for him. 0:56:45.400 --> 0:56:49.120 And then former Bengals quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner. Carson 0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:54.920 Palmer is the twenty twenty five Max Preps National High 0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:58.560 School Football Coach of the Year. He led his team, 0:56:58.800 --> 0:57:01.600 He led his team to state title in California. 0:57:02.239 --> 0:57:04.320 Carson Palmer might come back to the Bengals to be 0:57:04.400 --> 0:57:06.960 the head football coach. Would Mike Brown accept him back? 0:57:07.000 --> 0:57:07.520 What do you think? 0:57:08.680 --> 0:57:10.439 No, no, no, I don't think so. And how about 0:57:10.680 --> 0:57:12.960 the Ravens parting ways with John Harball? 0:57:14.040 --> 0:57:17.480 Well, I've seen stories on the national media about John 0:57:17.560 --> 0:57:21.880 Harball versus Zach Shuler, Zach Taylor and who should have 0:57:21.920 --> 0:57:24.080 got fired? Who shouldn't have got fired? And shall we 0:57:24.200 --> 0:57:26.840 say John Harball is going to be a very prized 0:57:26.880 --> 0:57:29.960 commodity for maybe the New York Giants. What about that? 0:57:30.200 --> 0:57:31.200 Well, apparently, I guess. 0:57:31.400 --> 0:57:31.720 I guess. 0:57:31.840 --> 0:57:34.360 Right after his firing, in about fifteen minutes, he got 0:57:34.840 --> 0:57:39.240 seven teams calling him. And he's in Miami today. But 0:57:39.360 --> 0:57:41.920 they already have a head coach because they could gass 0:57:42.040 --> 0:57:46.440 Mike McDaniel and put John Harball in Miami. You don't know, 0:57:47.080 --> 0:57:48.040 I don't know where he's going. 0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:52.800 Well, who did a better job this year? Taylor or Harball. 0:57:53.640 --> 0:57:57.800 Well, Harball went eight and nine because they I think 0:57:57.840 --> 0:57:59.919 they lost like six to seven in a row because 0:58:00.120 --> 0:58:04.560 of you know, Lamar Jackson won healthy. Of course, the 0:58:04.600 --> 0:58:08.680 Bengals weren't healthy either. With Joe Burrow out, Bengals won 0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:09.480 six and eleven. 0:58:10.280 --> 0:58:12.840 And John Harbaugh spent how many years that you see 0:58:12.880 --> 0:58:16.320 Bearcats right as a defensive backfield coach. Everything in the 0:58:16.360 --> 0:58:19.400 world segment is relatable to Cincinnati. You know what I'm saying. 0:58:19.480 --> 0:58:21.920 Everything happening, it's right here, Harrorball. 0:58:22.120 --> 0:58:26.320 And one of the one of the candidates now by 0:58:26.400 --> 0:58:30.040 the Ravens job as former defensive assistant of the Ravens 0:58:30.120 --> 0:58:35.320 in twenty seventeen and eighteen is a Chargers defensive coordinator, 0:58:35.440 --> 0:58:39.560 Jesse Minter, who went to Mount Saint Joe can a 0:58:39.680 --> 0:58:42.200 son the son of Rick Minner. 0:58:43.520 --> 0:58:47.280 Well, I've done some research on everything's connected. The Ravens 0:58:47.920 --> 0:58:49.400 one of the best teams in the AFC in the 0:58:49.480 --> 0:58:52.919 last eighteen years. Right, John Harbaugh went one ninety three 0:58:53.040 --> 0:58:56.040 and one twenty four, won a Super Bowl, only had 0:58:56.120 --> 0:59:00.280 three losing seasons in eighteen and what to continue, would 0:59:00.280 --> 0:59:02.280 have gone to the playoffs except for that missed field 0:59:02.360 --> 0:59:05.640 goal by number thirty three, who should be cut somewhat time. 0:59:05.840 --> 0:59:07.520 That was the only field goal he missed in the year, 0:59:07.560 --> 0:59:10.520 the only one he had made he missed, right, not good? 0:59:11.080 --> 0:59:12.320 No, not good. 0:59:12.440 --> 0:59:14.600 So we'll see what happens with Harball. But if he 0:59:14.640 --> 0:59:17.040 wants to But he's sixty three years old, he's getting 0:59:17.080 --> 0:59:19.240 old segment. By the time you're in your mid sixties, 0:59:19.440 --> 0:59:21.360 you should stop working anyway, would you agree. 0:59:22.000 --> 0:59:24.760 I think that social security is in and he's probably 0:59:24.840 --> 0:59:28.000 headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame or maybe 0:59:28.080 --> 0:59:29.000 a TV gig. 0:59:29.760 --> 0:59:32.320 Well, I don't know if he's loquacious like Chris Collin's 0:59:32.360 --> 0:59:34.920 Worth and Rocky Boyman. Well, let's face it, he's one 0:59:34.920 --> 0:59:38.520 of the most successful coaches of the twenty fourth century. 0:59:38.720 --> 0:59:42.240 And I think they've only had three. Like Pittsburgh is 0:59:42.320 --> 0:59:44.640 what had like four head coaches in their in their 0:59:45.080 --> 0:59:48.640 entire existence. I think the going back to the Colts, 0:59:49.160 --> 0:59:53.160 they've only had three head coaches over the last upteen years. 0:59:54.280 --> 0:59:57.840 Oh about the Bengals were about the same. I mean 0:59:57.960 --> 1:00:01.480 we went through went through Marvelo Marvin. He was here 1:00:01.520 --> 1:00:04.800 about fourteen years. He took the Ravens to the Super Bowl. 1:00:04.960 --> 1:00:08.200 Defensively that team in two thousand was with all due 1:00:08.240 --> 1:00:11.400 respect to the nineteen eighty five Chicago Bears, that team 1:00:11.560 --> 1:00:14.840 was the greatest defensive team ever and they won one 1:00:14.920 --> 1:00:18.200 Super Bowl one and Harball did the same thing. And 1:00:18.360 --> 1:00:20.880 is not good enough for Piscotti, who's the owner of 1:00:20.920 --> 1:00:23.760 the Ravens, he wants to do better and might you 1:00:23.880 --> 1:00:27.760 might recall Mike Brown from the first thirty years as 1:00:27.800 --> 1:00:30.720 the general manager, mikey Boy Brown won a total of 1:00:30.960 --> 1:00:35.480 zero playoff games. And the first thirty years that's not good. Segment, 1:00:35.600 --> 1:00:36.160 that's not good. 1:00:36.840 --> 1:00:38.760 You're correct, that's not good. 1:00:39.320 --> 1:00:41.560 And then then the other factor is you talk about 1:00:42.400 --> 1:00:45.680 what's happening at UC right now. I mean, I think 1:00:45.760 --> 1:00:49.560 Wes Miller's basketball, which one's in worst shape? 1:00:50.320 --> 1:00:52.200 Well, flip a coin. 1:00:52.720 --> 1:00:56.040 I don't know. But at least Scott Sounderfield went to 1:00:56.120 --> 1:00:59.840 a playoff, went to a Bowl game. But Wes Miller, 1:01:00.000 --> 1:01:01.360 if he didn't make it in the Big Show this 1:01:01.520 --> 1:01:04.680 year is like, according to many, it's over with And 1:01:04.880 --> 1:01:07.880 that's what Joe Frederick tells me he's done. But on 1:01:08.040 --> 1:01:10.160 the other hand, that the tough part of the UC 1:01:10.280 --> 1:01:13.720 Barcott schedule is coming up. They've already played the easy. 1:01:13.520 --> 1:01:15.640 Part, right I think they've got Iowa State and a 1:01:15.680 --> 1:01:20.919 few other ones upcoming here and what woa not good 1:01:20.960 --> 1:01:24.720 will he? So I don't know what to tell you. 1:01:28.840 --> 1:01:31.760 But other than that, that's about That's about it. And uh, 1:01:32.040 --> 1:01:34.600 you know, so we'll see what happens. U See plays 1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:37.880 up against U c F on the road this Sunday, 1:01:38.320 --> 1:01:41.440 so we'll see if they can come back. And you know, 1:01:41.520 --> 1:01:45.640 hopefully Xavier can right the ship tonight against Marquette after 1:01:46.120 --> 1:01:48.640 dropping a couple of games, and we'll see what happens. 1:01:49.200 --> 1:01:50.400 So that's about it. 1:01:52.600 --> 1:01:55.760 So I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, give 1:01:55.800 --> 1:01:57.880 me out of the stott will he in honor of 1:01:58.040 --> 1:02:02.040 a beautiful day here in a trice eight, we leave 1:02:02.080 --> 1:02:05.520 you with the immortal words of the Stooge Report. 1:02:06.680 --> 1:02:09.480 At some point, the foolishness has got to stop. 1:02:10.800 --> 1:02:13.360 A segment of things go Well, Mike DeWine is supposed 1:02:13.400 --> 1:02:15.960 to call in about two oh five to day to 1:02:16.120 --> 1:02:20.720 talk about his endorsement of a Veke Ramaswami over doctor 1:02:20.800 --> 1:02:21.520 Amy Acton. 1:02:21.840 --> 1:02:25.800 Well, what about David Pepper joining Amy Acton? What's up 1:02:25.840 --> 1:02:26.040 with that? 1:02:26.720 --> 1:02:28.800 I say, just add Pepper. That's all That's all you 1:02:28.840 --> 1:02:31.720 can do, is just add Pepper. That's what she did well, 1:02:31.800 --> 1:02:34.320 and then they got no chance to win. I don't think, 1:02:34.400 --> 1:02:34.960 but I never know. 1:02:35.560 --> 1:02:36.920 Yeah, you never know. 1:02:37.800 --> 1:02:40.240 Yeh, all right, we'll see what happens. 1:02:39.960 --> 1:02:42.560 Down the road. But uh, you know, Amy Acton was 1:02:42.640 --> 1:02:46.840 a person, shall we say that that was endorsed and 1:02:46.960 --> 1:02:49.880 loved by Mike DeWine. You might recall back in the 1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:52.680 beginning of the pandemic in March in April of twenty twenty, 1:02:53.040 --> 1:02:56.320 the two of them hold held daily news conferences that 1:02:56.440 --> 1:03:00.760 we carried live, right, And so I think Doc Jeremie Acton, 1:03:00.880 --> 1:03:03.680 you know, she was a favorite of Mike Dwine, not 1:03:03.840 --> 1:03:07.480 so much anymore. And after all, Mike DeWine is a Republican, 1:03:07.920 --> 1:03:11.280 and God bless the Republicans. So I think after two 1:03:11.360 --> 1:03:13.920 of five today, we'll see what happens with him. So 1:03:15.000 --> 1:03:17.000 I supposed to call an he's having a speech right 1:03:17.040 --> 1:03:20.560 now in Cleveland. So seg will continue with more. Let's 1:03:20.600 --> 1:03:23.400 continue with more scheduling Mike Dwine about two of five today, 1:03:23.720 --> 1:03:36.040 all on news radio seven hundred WW. Then I'm pretty 1:03:36.080 --> 1:03:38.480 sure you may be aware that a woman in Minneapolis 1:03:38.680 --> 1:03:42.000 was shot and killed by ice agents about an hour 1:03:42.040 --> 1:03:45.320 ago after allegedly using her car to ram and kill 1:03:45.480 --> 1:03:48.200 ICE agents. This will be weaponized by the media right 1:03:48.280 --> 1:03:51.600 now as an excuse to not enforce federal law in 1:03:51.680 --> 1:03:54.280 many blue cities and blue states. In fact, the so 1:03:54.480 --> 1:03:58.320 called mayor of Minneapolis, a clown named David Frye, is 1:03:58.800 --> 1:04:01.680 marching around you in the F bomb at a news 1:04:01.760 --> 1:04:05.280 conference broadcasted live all over the country, using the F 1:04:05.400 --> 1:04:09.800 word to describe ICE. The Department of Homeland Security said 1:04:09.840 --> 1:04:12.200 in a statement issued about an hour ago that rioters 1:04:12.280 --> 1:04:15.880 began blocking ICE officials when one of the riders allegedly 1:04:15.920 --> 1:04:19.120 attempted to weaponize her vehicle to hit law enforcement officials, 1:04:19.400 --> 1:04:22.600 and what they described as an active domestic terrorism fearing 1:04:22.680 --> 1:04:25.560 for his life in the lives of his fellow police 1:04:25.600 --> 1:04:29.320 officers and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. 1:04:30.040 --> 1:04:33.000 According to a federal government he used his training and 1:04:33.080 --> 1:04:36.200 saved his own life and that of fellow officers. The 1:04:36.280 --> 1:04:40.920 alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased now according to others. 1:04:41.480 --> 1:04:43.560 And this is all going to be on video, and 1:04:44.120 --> 1:04:46.640 the state has not released its video, but the Feds 1:04:46.680 --> 1:04:49.760 have great video looking forward to it being released. There 1:04:49.840 --> 1:04:53.320 was previous video being shot that seemed to indicate a snowy, 1:04:53.600 --> 1:04:58.000 icy environment. Several dozen so called protesters standing on an 1:04:58.360 --> 1:05:01.920 icy road in front of in front of ICE officials 1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:06.040 trying to make arrest of criminals in Minneapolis, and a 1:05:06.160 --> 1:05:09.520 member of the ICE, of which is Immigration and Customs 1:05:09.720 --> 1:05:13.280 enforcement at the scene said a driver of vehicle was 1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:17.200 shot as she tried to run down police officers doing 1:05:17.280 --> 1:05:20.680 their job. And right now the Democratic Party is on 1:05:20.880 --> 1:05:23.360 the side for the legal aliens, to those who are 1:05:23.440 --> 1:05:28.360 chiseling the system for personal benefit and TRIPA McLaughlin to 1:05:28.600 --> 1:05:32.640 Fox News the incident was a direct consequence of constant 1:05:32.680 --> 1:05:35.840 attacks and demon is eight of our police officers by 1:05:35.960 --> 1:05:40.800 sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage random assaults on police 1:05:40.880 --> 1:05:45.720 officers and ICE officials have suffered at fourteen increase in 1:05:45.800 --> 1:05:50.440 assaults against them eight thousand increase in death threats. So 1:05:50.840 --> 1:05:55.919 much like historically Democrats who kept the slaves, who fought 1:05:55.960 --> 1:05:58.320 a war to keep the slaves, who after a civil 1:05:58.400 --> 1:06:02.040 war made sure that African Americans living in the South 1:06:02.080 --> 1:06:04.560 to not have civil rights, and then for years but 1:06:04.680 --> 1:06:07.600 together the ku Klux Klan in the nineteen fifties and 1:06:07.680 --> 1:06:10.360 sixties refused to allow federal law to be enforced in 1:06:10.440 --> 1:06:15.200 cities in the South, requiring Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy and 1:06:15.280 --> 1:06:18.640 Johnson just sent in federal officials because Democrats not that 1:06:18.760 --> 1:06:23.560 the federal law to apply in their jurisdiction. In reality, 1:06:23.640 --> 1:06:27.600 it does. And I would hope that these ice officials 1:06:27.640 --> 1:06:29.880 are safe in the conduction of their duties. And I 1:06:29.960 --> 1:06:32.680 hope at some point the Democratic Party becomes to its 1:06:32.760 --> 1:06:36.280 census and recognize the federal law has got to apply 1:06:36.440 --> 1:06:39.120 in every city, in every county, in every state in 1:06:39.160 --> 1:06:42.480 the company we continue with. We've scheduled Governor Mike Wine 1:06:42.520 --> 1:06:44.680 in about seven or eight minutes that show them the 1:06:44.720 --> 1:06:49.360 reds Bangles and the Bearcats. There's Radio seven hundred WL Cincinnati. 1:06:58.920 --> 1:07:02.040 After putting him to the American a few hours ago, 1:07:02.120 --> 1:07:04.360 there was a note that Governor Mike DeWine is going 1:07:04.440 --> 1:07:07.280 to endorse Vike Ramaswami. That should not be great shocked 1:07:07.360 --> 1:07:11.360 because both are Republicans, but there's also some indication earlier 1:07:11.440 --> 1:07:14.000 in the year, that end of last year that he 1:07:14.080 --> 1:07:16.360 wasn't going to make an endorsement yet, Jona, you and 1:07:16.400 --> 1:07:19.080 I now is Governor Mike DeWine and Governor DeWine welcome 1:07:19.120 --> 1:07:21.480 again to the Bill Cunningham show, and Governor, can you 1:07:21.560 --> 1:07:26.000 announce now why you're endorsing Viveke Ramaswami now and didn't 1:07:26.040 --> 1:07:27.040 do it a few weeks ago. 1:07:28.880 --> 1:07:31.280 Well, I could give you the answer that this is 1:07:31.320 --> 1:07:34.120 a little humor here this afternoon, I could give you 1:07:34.200 --> 1:07:38.160 the answer that Governor Rose gave when he endorsed Reagan, 1:07:38.760 --> 1:07:42.120 and the reporters and well, governor, Governor, why why today? 1:07:42.440 --> 1:07:44.919 And he said, well, yesterday would have been too soon 1:07:45.000 --> 1:07:48.000 and tomorrow would be too late. I'm not sure that 1:07:48.120 --> 1:07:51.600 was a good answer for him, But the press didn't 1:07:51.600 --> 1:07:53.880 do much. It's going to shook their heads and walked away, 1:07:54.000 --> 1:07:58.160 I guess. So, look, I think that you know, he. 1:07:58.280 --> 1:07:59.320 Made the first. 1:08:00.600 --> 1:08:04.800 The first big decision a president makes, or presidential nominee makes. 1:08:05.520 --> 1:08:08.920 The first big decision that a governor makes, is picking 1:08:09.240 --> 1:08:12.280 the running mate, and in this case, he picked Rob McCully, 1:08:12.280 --> 1:08:16.519 who was the Senate president from northwest Ohio, someone very 1:08:16.560 --> 1:08:21.160 well respected. And so I think that, you know, that 1:08:21.439 --> 1:08:25.599 was a very very good decision. I wanted to praise 1:08:25.680 --> 1:08:29.560 that and congratulate him, and it just seemed, you know, 1:08:29.640 --> 1:08:33.120 I talked to Dubake yesterday, I talked to him today 1:08:33.760 --> 1:08:37.120 we've been we have been talking. Uh, and so I'm 1:08:37.600 --> 1:08:39.280 you know, happy to endorse him. 1:08:39.680 --> 1:08:39.800 Uh. 1:08:39.920 --> 1:08:43.200 I think he'll be a good governor. This is you know, 1:08:43.439 --> 1:08:45.920 will be a significant race. 1:08:46.280 --> 1:08:46.400 Uh. 1:08:46.680 --> 1:08:49.400 You know, we're electing a governor and uh, it's a big, 1:08:49.880 --> 1:08:52.160 a big job in a big, big position. But I 1:08:52.200 --> 1:08:55.080 think he really hit a home run today with with 1:08:55.280 --> 1:08:59.960 Rob McCully. Good good choice, very very very good choice. 1:09:00.080 --> 1:09:04.719 And you know, Bill, we have to continue to grow 1:09:04.760 --> 1:09:08.320 a hile and we have to continue to bring companies 1:09:08.360 --> 1:09:12.280 in from California and New York. And I think the 1:09:12.320 --> 1:09:14.560 Dake has the ability to do that. I think he 1:09:14.680 --> 1:09:17.479 has the inclination to do that. I think he has 1:09:17.560 --> 1:09:21.880 the instinct to do it, knows how to do it. 1:09:22.080 --> 1:09:26.680 So continued economic growth for Ohio, it's just so very 1:09:26.760 --> 1:09:27.840 very important. 1:09:28.160 --> 1:09:30.920 You know, Governor. When this came out a few weeks ago, 1:09:31.080 --> 1:09:35.080 that you were equivocating a bit, there was some thought 1:09:35.120 --> 1:09:38.960 among some conservatives that you might lean toward doctor Amy 1:09:39.000 --> 1:09:42.599 acting because you two worked together March April, May June 1:09:42.680 --> 1:09:45.840 July of twenty twenty. In fact, you filled a very 1:09:45.880 --> 1:09:48.559 important one hour time spot between one and two o'clock 1:09:48.640 --> 1:09:51.600 with me with doctor Amy acting at your side. Do 1:09:51.720 --> 1:09:54.720 you think doctor Amy Acting is in a sense not 1:09:54.880 --> 1:09:56.200 qualified to be the governor. 1:09:58.720 --> 1:09:59.800 I'm not going to go into that. 1:10:00.200 --> 1:10:02.080 I mean, you know, I worked I worked with her. 1:10:02.720 --> 1:10:04.479 I think she did a good job. I know some 1:10:04.560 --> 1:10:08.360 people criticized, you know, what was done during that period 1:10:08.360 --> 1:10:10.400 of time. And I've pointed out that I'm the governor. 1:10:10.520 --> 1:10:13.320 So if people got a complaintation, complaint, you know, they 1:10:13.680 --> 1:10:17.160 complaints with me. Bok always stopped with the governor. It's 1:10:17.240 --> 1:10:19.600 not the governor's members of the cabinet. But look, I 1:10:19.640 --> 1:10:21.680 think she did a good job in that position. I 1:10:21.840 --> 1:10:26.000 enjoyed working with her. Uh, But we're now talking about 1:10:26.000 --> 1:10:28.040 a very different position. We're talking about being governor for 1:10:28.080 --> 1:10:32.240 the whole state, twelve million people. You know, Bill, after 1:10:32.360 --> 1:10:35.439 having done this for seven years, I can tell you 1:10:35.600 --> 1:10:40.720 that every day, Uh, there is something happening that the 1:10:40.800 --> 1:10:43.479 governor has to deal with that's important and that maybe 1:10:43.720 --> 1:10:47.200 was unexpected. You know, We've had a lot of unexpected 1:10:47.280 --> 1:10:51.040 things since I've been governor. Every governor faces that you 1:10:51.800 --> 1:10:54.920 focus on so many different things if you think about it. 1:10:55.040 --> 1:10:59.000 You know, we have seventy six state parks, we have 1:10:59.720 --> 1:11:02.639 you know, forty five thousand people who are in prison, 1:11:02.760 --> 1:11:08.040 so we're running a big state prison system. Economic development 1:11:08.600 --> 1:11:11.920 is so very important. Education probably the most important thing 1:11:11.960 --> 1:11:15.080 of all is something that you know, we put a big, 1:11:15.240 --> 1:11:19.240 big emphasis on frand with a Vali partner Imagination Library Library, 1:11:19.280 --> 1:11:22.439 getting free books to kids. We're now over I think 1:11:22.520 --> 1:11:25.519 four hundred and fourteen thousand kids every month get a 1:11:25.560 --> 1:11:30.360 free book, getting kids ready for kindergarten, the science of reading, 1:11:30.760 --> 1:11:34.760 which we are spreading around the state in every one 1:11:34.840 --> 1:11:37.640 of our schools now. It's really the best way to 1:11:37.720 --> 1:11:41.439 teach kids how to read. So all these things, you know, 1:11:41.560 --> 1:11:44.360 there's just a lot going on every every single day, 1:11:44.920 --> 1:11:48.800 and it's just important to have, you know, a leader 1:11:49.160 --> 1:11:51.360 and someone who not just is a leader, but someone 1:11:51.400 --> 1:11:53.719 who can deal with all the all the different things 1:11:53.760 --> 1:11:54.920 that the governor has to deal with. 1:11:55.760 --> 1:11:57.280 And Governor de one I had on a couple of 1:11:57.280 --> 1:12:00.600 hours ago may I Cook, who's doing her own investigation 1:12:00.760 --> 1:12:05.000 about daycare and autism fraud, and medicaid fraud in Ohio 1:12:05.160 --> 1:12:08.920 and food stamp fraud, home health fraud. And there was 1:12:09.000 --> 1:12:11.600 a report that one of your spokesmen said that the 1:12:11.720 --> 1:12:14.160 cost of some fraud is the cost of doing business. 1:12:14.640 --> 1:12:17.520 Do you have a sense that Ohio under your leadership, 1:12:18.360 --> 1:12:21.600 is doing a much better job than appears to be 1:12:21.680 --> 1:12:24.160 in Minnesota. Are you on top of the fraud? Some 1:12:24.400 --> 1:12:28.200 talk about enrollment versus attendance. What do you say to 1:12:28.280 --> 1:12:31.599 the critics who say that Ohio may have massive fraud 1:12:31.640 --> 1:12:34.680 in the Somali community, or in the Mareitanian community, or 1:12:34.720 --> 1:12:37.160 in the Haitian community. What would you say about that? 1:12:39.400 --> 1:12:41.320 Well, I had a whole press conference the other day 1:12:41.560 --> 1:12:43.920 about this bill. As you know, I wanted to lay 1:12:43.960 --> 1:12:46.920 out for people to say, Ohio exactly where we were. 1:12:47.760 --> 1:12:49.639 I know some people are saying, look, you have Haite 1:12:50.080 --> 1:12:55.880 or you have smallions in Minnesota, You've got to Ohio 1:12:56.280 --> 1:13:00.120 and particularly the Plumbas area. Therefore, if you have h 1:13:00.560 --> 1:13:04.320 fraud in Minnesota, you must have fraud in Ohio. I'm 1:13:04.360 --> 1:13:05.880 just not sure that's the way we are to look 1:13:05.960 --> 1:13:08.280 at this. I'm not sure if it's not factual. 1:13:08.880 --> 1:13:09.880 Uh, we have. 1:13:12.000 --> 1:13:15.800 I think a very good system in place. It doesn't 1:13:15.840 --> 1:13:18.800 mean there is some fraud that gets biased, that does happen. 1:13:19.280 --> 1:13:23.040 No fraud is acceptable. We have no tolerance for fraud 1:13:23.080 --> 1:13:27.120 at all. I don't have the statistics in front of me, 1:13:27.200 --> 1:13:29.479 but I gave out the other day. But you know, 1:13:29.720 --> 1:13:32.679 we have pulled the plug on a number of daycare centers, 1:13:32.920 --> 1:13:36.879 some run by some audients, some run by not some audions. 1:13:37.960 --> 1:13:39.720 You know, if we see that there is fraud there, 1:13:39.760 --> 1:13:42.320 if we see, for example, that they don't have records, 1:13:42.320 --> 1:13:45.519 they're always supposed to keep their records. Uh, We've pulled 1:13:45.600 --> 1:13:49.120 some just because they didn't have their records. So we're 1:13:49.120 --> 1:13:51.040 going to continue continue. 1:13:50.640 --> 1:13:51.000 To do that. 1:13:51.280 --> 1:13:56.080 We do things differently than some states do. For example, 1:13:56.280 --> 1:14:02.080 we pay and maybe they'd set the stage if I could. 1:14:02.520 --> 1:14:08.320 We're about one hundred thousand children who are in daycare 1:14:08.400 --> 1:14:11.880 in the state of Ohio where their parents probably couldn't 1:14:11.880 --> 1:14:15.040 afford it, but you know, they want to work. We 1:14:15.200 --> 1:14:17.760 want them to work, want the parents to work, and 1:14:17.920 --> 1:14:21.960 so we subsidized to some extent that daycare for that 1:14:22.080 --> 1:14:24.840 particular child. So it's one hundred thousand kids at one 1:14:24.920 --> 1:14:28.360 time are getting some subsidy, their favors are getting some 1:14:28.479 --> 1:14:32.639 subsidy to help them pay for that child child care. 1:14:33.920 --> 1:14:38.879 We have about fifty two hundred fifty two hundred daycare 1:14:39.000 --> 1:14:42.240 centers in the state that I have kids in there 1:14:43.560 --> 1:14:48.080 who the state is paying part of the tuition basically, 1:14:48.200 --> 1:14:51.559 we have a lot more daycare centers now, but fifty 1:14:51.600 --> 1:14:54.360 two hundred. So it's fifty two hundred, you know that 1:14:54.520 --> 1:14:58.320 we are looking at Last year we did ten thousand, 1:14:58.840 --> 1:15:03.800 ten thousand punt announced inspections. But in addition to that, 1:15:04.920 --> 1:15:08.440 you know, we if we see something wrong or paperwork, 1:15:08.560 --> 1:15:09.439 you know, we go in. 1:15:10.240 --> 1:15:10.360 Uh. 1:15:10.520 --> 1:15:13.000 We also encourage I would say this to any any 1:15:13.000 --> 1:15:16.120 of your listeners. I know you, you're clear, you know 1:15:16.200 --> 1:15:19.200 from Cincinnati, clear almost the flebo people listening to you. 1:15:19.880 --> 1:15:25.120 But if anyone has suspicion that daycare center or any 1:15:25.160 --> 1:15:28.040 other kind of fraud that's going on any place uh 1:15:28.280 --> 1:15:29.880 involved in the Stable High we don't want to hear 1:15:29.920 --> 1:15:33.599 about it. And so when we get these these tips, 1:15:33.880 --> 1:15:35.519 I'll just call them tips. When we get them in, 1:15:36.000 --> 1:15:39.080 we check them all out. Some of them amount to nothing, 1:15:39.320 --> 1:15:42.160 but some of them have amounted to something. And as 1:15:42.160 --> 1:15:45.120 a result of those tips from citizens in the Stable HIO, 1:15:45.200 --> 1:15:48.439 we've been able to take action and to stop uh, 1:15:48.600 --> 1:15:51.400 you know, the fraud that was going on, stop money 1:15:51.479 --> 1:15:54.160 going out when it should not have been going out. 1:15:54.200 --> 1:15:55.760 So we encourage that bill. 1:15:57.000 --> 1:16:00.519 Do you say loud and proud there is not massive 1:16:01.000 --> 1:16:03.519 fraud in the state of Ohio when it comes to 1:16:03.680 --> 1:16:08.960 subsidized daycare or medicaid, and which transportation companies make up 1:16:09.439 --> 1:16:13.920 trips from the home to a care center or maybe 1:16:14.080 --> 1:16:16.599 home health, and which somebody can claim. You know, I'm 1:16:16.680 --> 1:16:19.120 caring for my mom or dad twenty four hours a day. 1:16:19.520 --> 1:16:22.840 I make seventy eighty thousand dollars a year living with 1:16:23.040 --> 1:16:26.280 my mom, and I get paid for all that. The 1:16:26.360 --> 1:16:28.880 allegations I know you're aware of this out of Minnesota 1:16:29.000 --> 1:16:33.479 are absurd. And there's been seventy eight indictments ninety five 1:16:33.520 --> 1:16:37.200 percent of Somali's there's been seventy four convictions in Ohio. 1:16:37.439 --> 1:16:40.040 That does happen here too. But are you saying, as 1:16:40.080 --> 1:16:44.799 our governor, there is not massive fraud supporting the immigrant 1:16:44.840 --> 1:16:47.920 communities in Ohio similar to what's happening in Minnesota. 1:16:49.360 --> 1:16:51.519 Well, I don't know exactly what's happening in Minnesota. You 1:16:51.720 --> 1:16:55.920 just recounted it, you know, so I can't see exactly 1:16:55.960 --> 1:16:57.960 what's happening there. All I know is the same thing 1:16:58.120 --> 1:17:00.439 we all know is what's been reported. What I can 1:17:00.520 --> 1:17:03.719 tell you is, UH, you know that we're vigil about 1:17:03.960 --> 1:17:07.400 about fraud. Uh, is there some fraud that occurs. Yeah, 1:17:07.520 --> 1:17:10.960 you've you've got fifty two hundred daycare centers. Uh. You know, 1:17:11.320 --> 1:17:15.599 is there some sometimes uh fraud there, Yeah, but it's 1:17:15.640 --> 1:17:18.880 not it's not anything massive. I mean we do things 1:17:19.000 --> 1:17:22.320 like you know, we only count. We only let them 1:17:22.520 --> 1:17:27.000 count and get paid for when that child actually shows up. 1:17:28.000 --> 1:17:28.120 Uh. 1:17:28.240 --> 1:17:31.760 The buid administration wanted us to switch over and we 1:17:31.880 --> 1:17:34.400 refuse to do it. They wanted us to switch over 1:17:34.840 --> 1:17:40.200 to uh paying buy an enrollment, and we said, no, 1:17:40.400 --> 1:17:42.280 We're not gonna pay just because someone who will what 1:17:42.320 --> 1:17:44.599 happens and they don't, you know, the kid doesn't show 1:17:44.680 --> 1:17:47.720 up uh for a week, two weeks three, We're not 1:17:47.800 --> 1:17:50.439 gonna pay. We're not gonna pay for that. Uh. So 1:17:50.680 --> 1:17:52.920 we you know, we do we do that differently as 1:17:52.960 --> 1:17:57.200 I say you do the unannounced uh visitations. Uh when 1:17:57.280 --> 1:17:59.640 we when we go in and we're not only just 1:17:59.800 --> 1:18:03.680 woking for fraud, we're also looking, frankly, to make sure 1:18:03.720 --> 1:18:06.519 those daycare centers are good and to make sure that 1:18:06.720 --> 1:18:09.040 you know, they're taking care of kids properly. I mean, 1:18:09.120 --> 1:18:12.120 we you know, we are concerned about that. 1:18:12.479 --> 1:18:13.040 You know, one of the. 1:18:13.080 --> 1:18:16.360 Things that we've seen in the Columbus area. We've seen 1:18:16.439 --> 1:18:21.040 some people who've shown up at these daycare centers and 1:18:21.920 --> 1:18:24.519 filmed themselves and then stood out there and said, well, 1:18:24.560 --> 1:18:27.280 I'm shocked they won't let me into the daycare center. 1:18:27.400 --> 1:18:29.160 And these are just people. We have no businesses a 1:18:29.240 --> 1:18:32.720 daycare center. And you know, if your child is in 1:18:32.760 --> 1:18:35.760 the daycare center, you wouldn't want that daycare center open 1:18:36.240 --> 1:18:39.639 to anybody he just just to walk in. You can't 1:18:39.680 --> 1:18:42.360 do that in the school today, and you shouldn't be 1:18:42.439 --> 1:18:46.000 able to do that in the daycare centers. So these 1:18:46.200 --> 1:18:51.040 daycare centers shouldn't be opening up and like just someone 1:18:51.160 --> 1:18:54.680 who wants to film it and say they want to 1:18:54.880 --> 1:18:56.960 want to go in. That's not how we run daycare 1:18:57.080 --> 1:19:00.400 centers in the state of Ohio or probably a place 1:19:00.479 --> 1:19:04.080 out we've got to protected protect you to do in case. 1:19:03.960 --> 1:19:07.040 We proceed govin are you more sensitive to this than 1:19:07.080 --> 1:19:09.840 you otherwise might have been because of what's happening in Minnesota? 1:19:10.479 --> 1:19:13.280 Do you notice when one of your representatives said, well, 1:19:13.400 --> 1:19:15.920 you know, fraud's are cost of doing business, it kind 1:19:15.960 --> 1:19:17.760 of didn't sound like that quote. 1:19:17.800 --> 1:19:19.559 Look, look I don't I don't like that quote. That's 1:19:19.600 --> 1:19:22.800 not my quote. Uh, you know, well, we want to 1:19:22.840 --> 1:19:25.599 be honest. Just fraud occur. I can tell you it's 1:19:25.600 --> 1:19:28.000 occurred because we've caught it, so I know it's scarred. 1:19:29.160 --> 1:19:29.320 You know. 1:19:29.760 --> 1:19:33.280 And do we catch everything? Well, probably not everything. Uh, 1:19:33.800 --> 1:19:35.479 there's just a lot of a lot of going on, 1:19:35.800 --> 1:19:37.760 but we're vigilant. Is important. 1:19:38.360 --> 1:19:38.479 Uh. 1:19:38.880 --> 1:19:42.559 We owe this to the taxpayers to be the ever 1:19:42.760 --> 1:19:47.080 vigilant about this. This is taxpayers dollars that we're dealing with. 1:19:49.160 --> 1:19:53.479 Lastly, viveg Ramaswami's floating a trial balloon of maybe getting 1:19:53.600 --> 1:19:56.200 rid of all the real estate taxes in fact, uh 1:19:56.640 --> 1:19:59.519 and maybe he also said get rid of state income tax. 1:20:00.080 --> 1:20:03.439 So those are the main drivers of funding government. And 1:20:03.600 --> 1:20:05.840 I can't imagine what the sales tax would be if 1:20:05.880 --> 1:20:08.200 you got rid of real estate taxes and got rid 1:20:08.280 --> 1:20:13.800 of income taxes? Are those aspirational goals? Practically could Ohioans 1:20:13.800 --> 1:20:16.160 get rid of the real estate tax and or the 1:20:16.240 --> 1:20:18.920 state income tax and have government function? 1:20:21.960 --> 1:20:24.440 Well, I don't see how you do both of those known, 1:20:24.720 --> 1:20:29.000 I don't. I mean I think that is you know, Bill, 1:20:29.479 --> 1:20:32.679 in every budget I've signed for budgets, we have cut 1:20:32.760 --> 1:20:36.560 the state income tax. So we were very very comparative 1:20:36.560 --> 1:20:39.160 today with other states. We didn't used to be, but 1:20:39.320 --> 1:20:44.280 we certainly, we certainly are today. Real estate taxes. I 1:20:44.439 --> 1:20:47.439 just signed a series of bills that will make some 1:20:47.560 --> 1:20:51.680 significant reforms and I think bring some meaningful relief to 1:20:51.760 --> 1:20:55.320 the tax payers of the state of Ohio. It's a problem, 1:20:55.439 --> 1:20:58.760 as you and I have discussed, when a couple that's 1:20:58.760 --> 1:21:00.800 say they're seventy five years and they've lived in this 1:21:00.920 --> 1:21:03.240 house for years, they've paid off their mortgage, the kids 1:21:03.320 --> 1:21:05.920 are groom and they wake up one day and in 1:21:06.000 --> 1:21:08.160 the mail there's a bill that shows that their real 1:21:08.240 --> 1:21:11.479 estate taxes is going up thirty five forty percent. That's 1:21:11.600 --> 1:21:15.040 not right, and that's you know, that's what's pausing some 1:21:15.240 --> 1:21:17.600 of the people who want to put this on the 1:21:17.680 --> 1:21:19.760 ballot to completely do the way with the real estate 1:21:19.840 --> 1:21:23.439 tax I don't think you know, the people behind that initiative. 1:21:23.439 --> 1:21:25.200 I don't think that makes any sense. I don't think 1:21:25.240 --> 1:21:27.280 you can do that. Can you have reform? 1:21:27.439 --> 1:21:27.639 Yes? 1:21:28.400 --> 1:21:30.559 And I think we, you know, were starting to achieve 1:21:30.600 --> 1:21:31.479 that kind of reform. 1:21:32.680 --> 1:21:35.120 All right, Governor, thanks for setting the records trade in 1:21:35.160 --> 1:21:37.760 those regards, and I have on guests now and then 1:21:37.840 --> 1:21:40.280 to say things like the massive fraud. There's a sense 1:21:40.640 --> 1:21:43.800 because you had which I think was a meritorious event, 1:21:43.880 --> 1:21:47.120 you and your wife had a Haitian orphanage that somehow 1:21:47.560 --> 1:21:52.200 your bend over backwards to assist those other entities. How 1:21:52.240 --> 1:21:54.519 would you address the fact that the kindness you showed 1:21:54.560 --> 1:21:57.840 for twenty years in Haiti is kind of weaponized against 1:21:57.880 --> 1:21:59.840 you to say as if he might agree with some 1:22:00.080 --> 1:22:01.200 of this fraud going on. 1:22:01.640 --> 1:22:06.640 Well, well, look what we have done in Haiti is 1:22:07.720 --> 1:22:11.880 working with father Tom Hagen, who runs the school down there. 1:22:12.040 --> 1:22:14.839 He's got five thousand kids in school. His kids wouldn't 1:22:14.880 --> 1:22:18.000 be going to school any other way but for Father Tom. 1:22:18.080 --> 1:22:21.400 And you know we we were help them away with him. 1:22:21.840 --> 1:22:21.960 Uh. 1:22:22.160 --> 1:22:24.800 And that's just something we do as individuals. It's not 1:22:24.920 --> 1:22:26.880 something I do as governor. It's something you do is 1:22:27.320 --> 1:22:30.640 as individuals. So it doesn't doesn't change my attitude. I 1:22:30.680 --> 1:22:34.120 don't think about anything in the in the United States. 1:22:34.400 --> 1:22:36.760 I mean, you know, we're gonna be visuals for any 1:22:36.800 --> 1:22:39.680 time we see fraud. We're going to be focused on 1:22:40.000 --> 1:22:41.960 on Ohio and focused on this country. 1:22:42.520 --> 1:22:44.280 All right, Governor, thank you very much. I want to 1:22:44.280 --> 1:22:47.080 get a quick comment by David Pepper, selected by Amy 1:22:47.120 --> 1:22:50.160 Acton to be the lieutenant governor. He's in Ohio, and 1:22:50.360 --> 1:22:53.840 I know David Pepper, He's run for many offices unsuccessfully. 1:22:53.920 --> 1:22:56.479 What's your thoughts about him being the lieutenant governor? Or 1:22:56.560 --> 1:22:58.759 really be the lieutenant governor with Amy Acton. 1:23:00.840 --> 1:23:04.040 Well, I saw that announcement today, so you know again, 1:23:05.880 --> 1:23:08.040 you know, I simply simply go back. I think that 1:23:08.720 --> 1:23:12.320 what Prevate did today dredge that first first big decision. 1:23:12.479 --> 1:23:14.720 I think in Bob mcpellay made a good decision as 1:23:14.800 --> 1:23:17.439 far as what the Democrats are doing. I left the 1:23:17.520 --> 1:23:19.160 Democrats were about that. 1:23:22.479 --> 1:23:24.519 Hi, Governor, thanks for coming on. I called you on 1:23:24.600 --> 1:23:26.960 the sly because I wanted to get to may A 1:23:27.040 --> 1:23:30.599 cook On and make look in Columbus there's disasters happening 1:23:30.600 --> 1:23:33.640 all over the place. And she was almost physically assaulted 1:23:33.680 --> 1:23:36.000 by a couple of Somalis who went after her, and 1:23:36.120 --> 1:23:38.400 I said, down nine to one one get the cops there. 1:23:38.880 --> 1:23:41.519 But I just have a sense that between you, the 1:23:41.600 --> 1:23:44.880 attorney General, the auditor and others, that there may be 1:23:45.000 --> 1:23:47.280 some fraud in the Columbus, which is a blue city. 1:23:47.680 --> 1:23:50.439 But I always said Ohio is a red state that 1:23:50.680 --> 1:23:53.840 we don't function the way California functions, and the way 1:23:53.920 --> 1:23:57.840 that Minnesota functions because the governor spent years as the prosecutor, 1:23:58.160 --> 1:24:01.240 spent years as the attorney general, and Mike the Wine 1:24:01.360 --> 1:24:03.960 doesn't have a corrupt bone in his body, and so 1:24:04.600 --> 1:24:07.479 I'd be shocked if had the same level. But are 1:24:07.560 --> 1:24:11.200 there some mistakes. Absolutely, But uh, thanks for coming on 1:24:11.320 --> 1:24:14.639 and setting the record straight.

So you know, 1:24:45.720 --> 1:24:47.280 and those of us who are Reds fans. 1:24:47.080 --> 1:24:50.919 Y, Yeah, well, at least the rest made the playoffs. 1:24:51.120 --> 1:24:53.200 At least they got to the playoffs.

He knows he's at least gonna win 1:26:10.720 --> 1:26:13.559 the primary hands down. Who win that by eighty percent? 1:26:14.600 --> 1:26:17.200 Will he win the general? I think so, but we 1:26:17.320 --> 1:26:20.760 shall see. I did find it curious though, he said 1:26:20.760 --> 1:26:24.080 there's no corruption with the day care facilities or transportation 1:26:24.439 --> 1:26:25.600 facilities correction. 1:26:27.400 --> 1:26:31.439 Ohio, in Ohio, in Ohio, but the Minnesota.

The ice officials in Minneapolis have their own 1:26:36.920 --> 1:26:39.960 difficult You're not kidding, and I had on at some 1:26:40.200 --> 1:26:43.800 point the foolishness has got to stop im.

In Minnesota, they encourage him to 1:26:51.000 --> 1:26:55.160 continue and make donations to the Democrat them. 1:26:56.200 --> 1:26:58.400 Well, I know you know, and I know you've had 1:26:58.439 --> 1:26:58.600 her on. 1:26:58.680 --> 1:27:02.519 Ma Hate Cook is visited some places around Ohio, and 1:27:02.600 --> 1:27:06.080 it seems people are not too fired up about her 1:27:06.200 --> 1:27:08.200 being there taking a look under the hood. 1:27:09.120 --> 1:27:10.679 David Pepper, what about Pepper? 1:27:11.400 --> 1:27:13.519 How about Dave?

Cleveland Browns have 1:27:48.160 --> 1:27:53.839 requested an interview with Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher regarding 1:27:53.880 --> 1:27:57.000 their head coaching vacancy. Now rock you super Bowl winner, 1:27:57.680 --> 1:28:05.839 NFL veteran y Dan Pitcher, Joe Burrow, Dan Pitcher, shavere 1:28:05.960 --> 1:28:09.200 standers or the seventy five thousand other guys that are 1:28:09.240 --> 1:28:11.360 going to be quarterbacks in Cleveland? What do you do? 1:28:11.560 --> 1:28:14.400 I would if I were advising Dan Pitcher and I 1:28:14.600 --> 1:28:17.360 was were his agent, I would say, don't go near 1:28:17.479 --> 1:28:23.479 that franchise was a pole unless you you got to 1:28:23.560 --> 1:28:25.920 go in with a stud quarterback. Any job you want 1:28:25.960 --> 1:28:28.360 to take, and they don't have one, no matter what, 1:28:28.479 --> 1:28:31.160 Haslam says. I would advise him to stay away from 1:28:31.200 --> 1:28:32.120 that organization. 1:28:33.840 --> 1:28:36.240 John Harball out in Baltimore. 1:28:37.360 --> 1:28:42.400 Action does does Stefansy go to Baltimore go inner division? 1:28:43.160 --> 1:28:45.240 Lead them? They could do worse? Like I was a 1:28:45.360 --> 1:28:46.440 two time NFL. 1:28:46.280 --> 1:28:48.479 Coach of the Year, right, good point. 1:28:49.800 --> 1:28:53.320 How does Baltimore look at the performance of John Harball 1:28:53.920 --> 1:28:56.800 over the last eighteen years He's won sixty percent of 1:28:56.880 --> 1:28:59.240 his games, but in the playoffs twelve of the eighteen 1:28:59.320 --> 1:29:03.800 times ring How does uh Buziati at the owner of 1:29:03.880 --> 1:29:05.519 the Ravens, book at that guy and say, you know 1:29:05.560 --> 1:29:07.200 what we got? We got to get rid of him. 1:29:07.640 --> 1:29:09.080 So here's what I've read today. 1:29:09.120 --> 1:29:12.280 And who knows, but I think John Harball goes in 1:29:12.360 --> 1:29:15.000 and says, look, what are we going to do about 1:29:15.080 --> 1:29:19.240 Lamar Jackson? Like he was fantastic, but he really wasn't 1:29:19.280 --> 1:29:21.799 the same guy this year? What is the future plans? 1:29:22.000 --> 1:29:24.599 And there might have been some arguments about that because 1:29:24.640 --> 1:29:27.960 the owner what was his name, Steve Biscotti, is probably like, 1:29:28.040 --> 1:29:31.560 I mean this, this guy's like the biggest thing in Baltimore. 1:29:31.600 --> 1:29:34.160 We're not moving on from Lamar Jackson? What are you 1:29:34.280 --> 1:29:37.240 talking about? And you know, Harball is like, look, I 1:29:37.360 --> 1:29:40.599 was like eight and four in the playoffs without Lamar Jackson, 1:29:40.680 --> 1:29:43.360 and I'm I think three and five with him. So 1:29:43.800 --> 1:29:45.280 are we going to talk about I don't know if 1:29:45.320 --> 1:29:47.040 that's true or not, but that's just kind of some 1:29:47.120 --> 1:29:48.160 of the things I'm reading. 1:29:48.240 --> 1:29:49.240 He's maybe questioning that. 1:29:49.640 --> 1:29:52.360 And they said, the only person that is guaranteed to 1:29:52.400 --> 1:29:55.439 stay here is Lamar Jackson and not you boom See, 1:29:55.479 --> 1:29:56.600 you wouldn't want to be. 1:29:57.560 --> 1:30:01.640 Well, compare to John Harbaugh does Taylor and make that 1:30:01.760 --> 1:30:03.719 comparison who got fired or who didn't. 1:30:04.800 --> 1:30:05.840 It's it's tough. 1:30:05.920 --> 1:30:08.960 I mean, I mean, Baltimore is a very very very 1:30:09.040 --> 1:30:11.679 well run franchise. So I guess they have their reasons 1:30:11.760 --> 1:30:14.479 for things, and they always seem to do things the 1:30:14.600 --> 1:30:16.960 right way and seem to be, you know, one foot 1:30:17.360 --> 1:30:20.280 ahead of everybody else. But I think we'll find out 1:30:20.320 --> 1:30:21.920 more as things come out on that. 1:30:23.080 --> 1:30:27.160 Please continue well the college basketball Tonight, the Xavier Musketeers 1:30:27.160 --> 1:30:29.600 are in Milwaukee to take on Marquette, probably in a 1:30:29.720 --> 1:30:32.559 key Big East matchup at six thirty here on seven 1:30:32.680 --> 1:30:37.120 hundred WLW. Missouri and Kentucky at seven on ESPN fifteen thirty. 1:30:37.200 --> 1:30:40.880 Indiana up against Maryland, of course, Last night, the Miami 1:30:40.960 --> 1:30:44.400 RedHawks went to sixteen and oh while beating Western Michigan, 1:30:45.040 --> 1:30:48.160 but West Virginia rally late to beat the Bearcats in 1:30:48.240 --> 1:30:50.200 Morgantown sixty two to sixty. 1:30:51.080 --> 1:30:53.120 I don't care about the noise, Dan, I don't care. 1:30:53.160 --> 1:30:55.840 I don't care what people think. I only care about 1:30:55.840 --> 1:30:58.479 my team and I care about my program. And you 1:30:58.560 --> 1:31:01.400 know what, it's almost common cool. We'll get a break. 1:31:01.439 --> 1:31:03.240 We just got to stay together and stay brilliant. It's 1:31:03.280 --> 1:31:05.479 us against the whole world. We know that we're gonna 1:31:05.479 --> 1:31:07.080 get a break. We're gonna keep going. Yeah. 1:31:08.439 --> 1:31:10.479 Not good, not good, not good. 1:31:11.320 --> 1:31:13.120 West Miller could be gone. 1:31:14.960 --> 1:31:15.599 Please continue. 1:31:15.680 --> 1:31:19.840 Let's see college football. Georgia Southern transfer quarterback J C. 1:31:20.120 --> 1:31:23.400 French is joining the bear Cats. 1:31:23.439 --> 1:31:24.840 So I have called J. C. 1:31:25.120 --> 1:31:28.599 French led games, I want to say, four or five 1:31:28.720 --> 1:31:32.720 times in the past. I've had Georgia Southern and he 1:31:32.800 --> 1:31:35.760 has a lot of experience and there's some things he 1:31:35.800 --> 1:31:39.720 does well. But at this point, I'm not impressed with 1:31:39.800 --> 1:31:41.600 that signing. I'll just say that. 1:31:42.240 --> 1:31:44.280 What about Notre Dame losing that half back? 1:31:46.080 --> 1:31:46.360 Welcome? 1:31:47.920 --> 1:31:51.800 I mean, but Notre Dame log lost the star half back? 1:31:52.120 --> 1:31:55.560 Yeah, money, it came home, which is interesting because you 1:31:55.640 --> 1:31:57.960 know Jeremiah Love is going in the draft, so you 1:31:58.000 --> 1:31:59.840 think there'd be a vacancy there. But look, maybe it's 1:31:59.880 --> 1:32:02.280 not opportunity. He can play and have a great career. 1:32:02.439 --> 1:32:05.880 I mean, the Bearcats certainly need a need a running back. 1:32:05.920 --> 1:32:07.240 They lost their top two guys. 1:32:09.479 --> 1:32:12.160 I would say, what does UC Bearcats have? The Notre 1:32:12.280 --> 1:32:15.479 Dame doesn't. How come a player like that wants to 1:32:15.680 --> 1:32:18.599 ignore South Bend and come home to Cincinnati. Is there 1:32:18.720 --> 1:32:21.680 something wrong maybe with Marcus Freeman. It's something right with 1:32:21.720 --> 1:32:22.439 Scott I. 1:32:22.479 --> 1:32:25.200 Don't think so, because Marcus Freeman's name gets brought up 1:32:25.280 --> 1:32:28.559 with every NFL job, which is and he's not even 1:32:28.560 --> 1:32:30.160 gonna go to the NFL, but his name is still 1:32:30.240 --> 1:32:30.640 brought up. 1:32:31.280 --> 1:32:32.439 So there's my comment on that. 1:32:33.479 --> 1:32:33.599 Uh. 1:32:33.680 --> 1:32:37.880 Well, college football though, Miami and Old Miss tomorrow night 1:32:37.920 --> 1:32:40.240 in the Fiesta Bowl, and of course Indiana and Oregon 1:32:40.360 --> 1:32:42.680 Battle of the uh which well is it? 1:32:43.360 --> 1:32:44.880 Oh? What? Uh? None matter? 1:32:45.720 --> 1:32:48.839 In Atlanta, Kyle Schwarver is going to be the honorary 1:32:48.960 --> 1:32:52.240 captain for the Indiana Hoosiers Friday at the Peach Bowl. 1:32:52.520 --> 1:32:54.880 So I called a couple of years ago, I had 1:32:54.960 --> 1:32:58.600 JMU when they had a head coach named Kurt Signetti and. 1:32:59.240 --> 1:33:02.360 Yeah, yeah, it was it was yeah, Yeah. 1:33:02.920 --> 1:33:07.240 I feel Willie that some sometimes in life people just 1:33:07.640 --> 1:33:09.960 just got it right. I mean, you know, there's great 1:33:10.040 --> 1:33:14.080 coaches out there, and then there's Kurt Signetti that can 1:33:14.400 --> 1:33:18.160 with with no five stars and you know, bringing players 1:33:18.200 --> 1:33:18.679 over from. 1:33:18.680 --> 1:33:20.479 JMU and look, and they got good players. 1:33:20.640 --> 1:33:22.800 It's not to say they don't, you know, nobody wins 1:33:22.800 --> 1:33:26.320 without good players, but just an unbelievable job. I just 1:33:26.360 --> 1:33:28.679 feel like he's one of those, like on the level 1:33:28.760 --> 1:33:32.479 of Saban, that he just knows football better than anybody else, 1:33:33.120 --> 1:33:33.439 just does. 1:33:34.000 --> 1:33:38.040 Who's the see not hire him? The Bearcats could have 1:33:38.120 --> 1:33:42.000 had Signetti as their coach, and my brother John Cunningham said, no, 1:33:42.439 --> 1:33:44.559 he won with Scott Soaderfield. Was that a mistake? 1:33:44.680 --> 1:33:46.320 Rock? I think? 1:33:46.960 --> 1:33:49.679 I mean, as much as like Scott Saderfield, I would 1:33:49.720 --> 1:33:54.240 have to imagine, uh, passing on Kurt Signetti that they 1:33:54.240 --> 1:33:57.080 would redo that if they could, you think, so, yeah, 1:33:57.439 --> 1:33:58.320 I'm certain about that. 1:33:59.000 --> 1:34:02.920 And who's the guy, uh, speaking of Indiana, who's the 1:34:03.200 --> 1:34:06.880 Dallas Mavericks owner that's on the shark tank? Yeah, what's 1:34:06.920 --> 1:34:09.400 the big guy Mark? 1:34:10.520 --> 1:34:11.040 What's his name? 1:34:11.080 --> 1:34:13.000 Willie uh Uh. 1:34:13.360 --> 1:34:16.080 It's on the tip of my tongue, not Mark Levin, Mark. 1:34:16.000 --> 1:34:18.120 Uh Cuban, Indiana. 1:34:18.600 --> 1:34:23.320 He's made another considerable contribution to the n I L 1:34:24.080 --> 1:34:27.200 Bank bank account to the Indiana. 1:34:27.479 --> 1:34:29.840 So do you think there's any there's it's a coincidence 1:34:29.920 --> 1:34:33.800 that Indiana's all of a sudden winning, No, it's not. 1:34:34.200 --> 1:34:34.320 Is it? 1:34:34.439 --> 1:34:36.800 Is there a coincidence that the SEC is now kind 1:34:36.800 --> 1:34:38.479 of getting their brains beat in a little bit like 1:34:38.560 --> 1:34:40.920 in all these Bowl games, because now everyone else has 1:34:41.720 --> 1:34:44.679 has the money and has more money, getting a little moreried. 1:34:45.479 --> 1:34:49.640 It's it's you have to be at a place that 1:34:49.840 --> 1:34:51.880 has that is well healed. You have to be at 1:34:51.880 --> 1:34:56.280 a place that has a Mark Cuban or a uh 1:34:56.880 --> 1:34:59.400 you know, Phil Knight out of Oregon. You have to 1:34:59.479 --> 1:35:02.439 have those kind of people because money drives the ship. 1:35:03.400 --> 1:35:06.519 If somebody had told you that the Hoosiers this year 1:35:06.840 --> 1:35:09.519 was going to beat Ohio State, win the Big Ten, 1:35:09.760 --> 1:35:12.120 they were going to beat Oregon, and now they're in 1:35:12.160 --> 1:35:14.800 the Final four, you would not have put a dollar 1:35:14.920 --> 1:35:18.599 on that rock. Somehow, this signetic character and their heisman 1:35:18.880 --> 1:35:22.839 quarterback are doing things with magical dusts. I can't imagine 1:35:22.880 --> 1:35:25.120 them winning. Are they going to beat the Hurricanes too? 1:35:25.280 --> 1:35:26.040 Is that possible? 1:35:26.640 --> 1:35:30.280 And wouldn't bet against the The guys found a way 1:35:30.960 --> 1:35:33.720 and they got the right quarterback, which is all the 1:35:34.360 --> 1:35:37.160 biggest thing you gotta do is get the right quarterback, 1:35:37.200 --> 1:35:38.840 and those is a real deal. 1:35:40.280 --> 1:35:41.599 Great kid too, great kid. 1:35:42.280 --> 1:35:42.439 Well. 1:35:42.720 --> 1:35:46.479 I mean, it's unbelievable that Indiana had the second worst 1:35:46.560 --> 1:35:49.920 record in the history of football Division one all time, 1:35:50.520 --> 1:35:53.200 and now they're marching. If they go to the national title, 1:35:53.360 --> 1:35:56.280 that would be more than incredible. And the other thing 1:35:56.439 --> 1:36:00.760 is Miami almost stuck in because the to be did 1:36:00.800 --> 1:36:03.439 not want Notre Dame. They did not want Notre Dame, 1:36:03.720 --> 1:36:06.160 so they put Miami in. Would Notre Dame be doing 1:36:06.200 --> 1:36:07.720 what Miami the Hurricanes you're doing. 1:36:08.520 --> 1:36:11.720 I think so, and certainly would have been played better 1:36:11.800 --> 1:36:13.400 than Alabama. I don't think you can. 1:36:13.520 --> 1:36:14.080 That's for sure. 1:36:14.240 --> 1:36:14.920 Deny that one. 1:36:15.080 --> 1:36:17.559 Yeah, and in the end has already been Oregon one. 1:36:17.680 --> 1:36:20.000 Notre Dame should have got in over Alabama. I think 1:36:20.040 --> 1:36:22.519 that I would would I said that before and now 1:36:22.600 --> 1:36:24.400 it's I'm even more certain about that. 1:36:25.479 --> 1:36:28.400 Lastly, I'm glad you brought that up. Why's the SPC 1:36:28.880 --> 1:36:32.240 failing magnificently? They're not doing well at all. You know, 1:36:32.360 --> 1:36:36.120 the blue Bloods aren't doing well. Uh SEC and Notre Dame, 1:36:36.600 --> 1:36:39.479 perhaps the greatest college football program of all time, not 1:36:39.640 --> 1:36:43.200 doing well. And then you have like Old Miss they're 1:36:43.320 --> 1:36:43.920 doing well. 1:36:44.080 --> 1:36:47.280 They lost two games by a combined three points. One 1:36:47.479 --> 1:36:50.240 was a muff extra point. I mean, that's how razor 1:36:50.400 --> 1:36:51.280 thing we're talking here. 1:36:51.800 --> 1:36:54.080 They were denied. They were denied. They weren't even in 1:36:54.160 --> 1:36:57.040 the top twelve. They wouldn't want Notre Dame. Now you 1:36:57.120 --> 1:36:59.920 have ACC and Old Miss is not the blue blo 1:37:00.320 --> 1:37:03.439 just Georgia, Alabama and LSU, and you got an all 1:37:03.520 --> 1:37:06.760 missed in and they don't have coaches. The OC went there, 1:37:06.880 --> 1:37:09.240 came back, and he went to LSU, came back. Who 1:37:09.320 --> 1:37:11.639 knows what's going to happen there. I look from Miami 1:37:11.720 --> 1:37:15.040 to play Indiana and for all the marbles a week 1:37:15.080 --> 1:37:18.320 from Monday night, who wins between the Hoosiers and the Hurricanes. 1:37:18.640 --> 1:37:22.439 We gonna pick the Hoosiers, me too, Indiana all the 1:37:22.479 --> 1:37:26.240 way with Ted McKay, team of destiny, do the ray 1:37:26.320 --> 1:37:29.280 and the knee, and Notre Dame wants the best team 1:37:29.320 --> 1:37:33.360 in Indiana football wise, is Indiana and not Notre Dame, 1:37:33.400 --> 1:37:34.479 Am I right or wrong about that? 1:37:36.040 --> 1:37:36.240 Seg? 1:37:36.400 --> 1:37:39.000 Give me out of stuge report, please Rock in honor 1:37:39.080 --> 1:37:46.000 of the first full first team Stooge Report of the year.

I don't know 1:37:57.960 --> 1:37:59.599 if it's going to be a Miller time much longer. 1:37:59.640 --> 1:38:02.439 He better start winning immediately. When you lose to West Virginia, 1:38:02.560 --> 1:38:04.800 say they were up by five points at the end? 1:38:04.880 --> 1:38:05.040 Is that? 1:38:05.439 --> 1:38:07.559 Seg? What was that record?
