Speaker 1: By Billy Cunningham, the Great America. Of course, this is
Speaker 1: election today, election afternoon. Yours truly intends on voting about
Speaker 1: three to four o'clock. Not much on the ballot, but
Speaker 1: I will do my constitutional duty to vote, joining you,
Speaker 1: and I now is the man in charge of elections
Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio. Frank LaRose, the second cousin
Speaker 1: of Buddy L. Rosa. Franklrosa, Welcome again to the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. And as we sit here early on Tuesday afternoon,
Speaker 1: any problems, any difficulties, how are we looking?
Speaker 2: But it's an important election. Not everybody necessarily is paying
Speaker 2: attention to that, but these are votes that can have
Speaker 2: a big impact on your community, quality of life and
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. And so you should get out
Speaker 2: and make your voice heard. You're not going to impact
Speaker 2: any lines or that kind of thing. You'll get a
Speaker 2: sticker on your way out the door.
Speaker 3: Here's another thing, Willie.
Speaker 2: I run into people that say I'm not going to
Speaker 2: vote in this local election because I don't know enough
Speaker 2: I don't want to guess right, Okay, that's not a
Speaker 2: good excuse.
Speaker 3: You go to our website vote Ohio dot gov.
Speaker 2: You can cheat on the test, you can look at
Speaker 2: exactly what's going to be on your ballot.
Speaker 3: This is what Lauren and I did last night. We
Speaker 3: put the kids to bed.
Speaker 2: I printed off what's called the sample ballot, where we
Speaker 2: saw exactly what's going to be on our ballot, and
Speaker 2: we sat there as a couple and we talked about
Speaker 2: our choices. Now we're ready to go and well informed
Speaker 2: and we know what we're doing.
Speaker 1: That makes no sense at all, because I often say
Speaker 1: that if you wake up on Tuesday this morning, and
Speaker 1: you say, is the election this Tuesday or next Tuesday?
Speaker 1: Or has the election already taken place? In other words,
Speaker 1: shall I use the term ill informed? And I know
Speaker 1: the media says you got to vote, you got No,
Speaker 1: you don't have to vote if you don't know what
Speaker 1: you're voting for, if you don't know what the issues are,
Speaker 1: if you don't know the pros and cons of each issue.
Speaker 1: Don't waste your time and cancel the ballot of someone
Speaker 1: who's informed. Do you agree or not?
Speaker 2: I think if you do a little bit of research,
Speaker 2: you can cast an informed vote. And give you an example,
Speaker 2: I didn't know which can candidates for city council where
Speaker 2: the conservatives who share my values, because I didn't follow
Speaker 2: that all that closely, but I did a little bit
Speaker 2: of research. I saw which ones were endorsed by the
Speaker 2: County Republican Party, which ones had taken stances that align
Speaker 2: with the things I care about.
Speaker 3: And now I'm an informed voter.
Speaker 2: And so you know, I think that with a few
Speaker 2: minutes of effort, a little bit of googling, a little
Speaker 2: bit of checking their own website or what the newspaper's
Speaker 2: candidate guide says, or whatever else, you can be an
Speaker 2: informed voter. And it's worth doing because these elections come
Speaker 2: down to a small margin. In many cases, local elections
Speaker 2: can often come down to just a handful of votes.
Speaker 3: Hech.
Speaker 2: We have tie votes every year somewhere in the state
Speaker 2: that have to be determined by a coin flip. Don't
Speaker 2: be that person that wakes up on Wednesday morning and
Speaker 2: realizes that a Bolshevik has just been elected to your
Speaker 2: school board because you didn't bother to go vote and
Speaker 2: it was determined by a single vote.
Speaker 1: That's that's critical. Yeah, I don't care how busy you are.
Speaker 1: You can go online today's world, you can do it.
Speaker 1: Twenty years ago you couldn't do it if you op
Speaker 1: up twenty years ago and said who's running? I don't know,
Speaker 1: how do you find? Well, I don't know. But today
Speaker 1: the Encyclopedia Britannica, all the information in the world is
Speaker 1: on my right home. I left it in my hand.
Speaker 1: And if you don't take it ten minutes to find
Speaker 1: out who I'm voting for, we get the government we deserve.
Speaker 1: And that worries me too.
Speaker 4: Man. Well, consider this.
Speaker 2: It's a kind of a tale of two different years.
Speaker 2: If you look at the even number years twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four, it's been absolutely record
Speaker 2: breaking turnout. So this nonsense where the liberals say, I
Speaker 2: want to suppress the vote. If that's my objective, I'm
Speaker 2: really bad at it. We don't want to suppress anything.
Speaker 2: We've had massive turnouts in those even number years. But
Speaker 2: then you go one year later to a year like
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five and it may be single digits or
Speaker 2: low double digits. That's a shame because it matters who
Speaker 2: lives in the White House.
Speaker 3: We all know that.
Speaker 2: But what probably matters just as much, maybe more, who
Speaker 2: works at the courthouse or the schoolhouse or city hall.
Speaker 2: When it comes to your quality of life, the safety
Speaker 2: of your community. Heck, the schools that our children are
Speaker 2: being educated in.
Speaker 3: This year is the year we make those decisions, and
Speaker 3: you've got to make your voice heard.
Speaker 1: Frank LeRose, you're making sense. I live in a community
Speaker 1: that's safe and sound with good schools. However, we have
Speaker 1: a race for the Sycamore Township trustees. We have a
Speaker 1: school board race Indian Hill school boards. There's one or
Speaker 1: two school issues. I want to pump up as much
Speaker 1: as I can in Deer Park Community schools for what
Speaker 1: they've done. And so all politics is local. It may
Speaker 1: be great if things are good or bad in New
Speaker 1: York City, but dammit, I live in Sycamore Township. I
Speaker 1: live in Kenwood, and I want my community where I
Speaker 1: live to be the best. And the off year elections
Speaker 1: is when we decide those things.
Speaker 2: Correct every single election here, I give you a prediction.
Speaker 2: I can tell you who's gonna win today. In any race,
Speaker 2: it's the candidate who gets more of their supporters to
Speaker 2: go after the polls Barnet.
Speaker 3: It's always going to be that way.
Speaker 2: And so whether you live in a city that Leans
Speaker 2: Republican or Leans Democrat, there's no such thing as a
Speaker 2: long shot race in a local election.
Speaker 3: If people just bother to show up.
Speaker 1: What percent, Frank Lerosa, you're in charge of elections about,
Speaker 1: give me your crystal ball prediction in the state of
Speaker 1: Ohio overall? What percent of Ohio? When's youre going to
Speaker 1: vote today? If anyone you know.
Speaker 2: Here's why it's really hard to tell, because it's so localized.
Speaker 2: You may have one community where there's a really hot
Speaker 2: race for mayor, or people are all hyped up about
Speaker 2: the school board race or the levy or whatever else,
Speaker 2: and you may have massive turnout. The next town over
Speaker 2: it may be a complete sleeper and people aren't really
Speaker 2: all that engaged. So it's hard to tell. I can
Speaker 2: tell you what we've seen already for early voting, about
Speaker 2: four hundred thousand. In fact, the number is three hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety nine and eighteen. That's how many people participated
Speaker 2: in early voting. We know that right there in Hamilton County,
Speaker 2: we've had a decent turnout through early.
Speaker 3: Voting as well. It was the number of early.
Speaker 2: Voting ballots count counted nineteen two hundred and twenty nine.
Speaker 2: That's how many people voted early in Hamilton county. But
Speaker 2: we also know there's a lot of outstanding absentee ballots.
Speaker 2: What does that mean about fifty thousand people throughout the
Speaker 2: state that have requested their absenty ballot and haven't returned
Speaker 2: it yet. And so if you're that guy that has
Speaker 2: your absentee ballots sitting on your kitchen table or sitting
Speaker 2: on the dashboard of your car, it's too late to
Speaker 2: mail it. You can't take it to your voting location.
Speaker 2: At this point. You got to get it down to
Speaker 2: your county Board of Elections by seven thirty, and it's
Speaker 2: worth it. Take a drive down to your county Board
Speaker 2: of Elections and submit that ballot so that again you
Speaker 2: can make sure your voice is heard.
Speaker 1: Frank LeRose, your deal was a facts ideal with hyperbole.
Speaker 1: Let's say there's twelve million people who live in the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio. It is not approximately correct approximately approximately.
Speaker 1: I want to hold you do this. How many adults
Speaker 1: eighteen and over eleve in the state of Ohio? Is
Speaker 1: it nine million? Three million kids in school?
Speaker 2: Well near eight point eight point some thing? Because I
Speaker 2: know the eligible population of voters in Ohio, we're already
Speaker 2: at like ninety three ninety four percent of them that
Speaker 2: are registered to vote, and we have seven point eight
Speaker 2: million registered voters, so the total number of eligible adults
Speaker 2: over eighteen who are US citizens has to be in
Speaker 2: the low eights.
Speaker 1: So let's say there's eight million people that could vote,
Speaker 1: and of that number, about seven point five million are
Speaker 1: register which is fantastic. And then as far as the turnout,
Speaker 1: I talk about Hamleton County or the city of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: we got major problems. You may know this if down
Speaker 1: the road you become a senator or a congressman, or
Speaker 1: a governor or the president, you're gonna have to deal
Speaker 1: with the city of Cincinnati, which is a complete meltdown.
Speaker 1: And I'm told by Sherry Pulling at the Board of
Speaker 1: Elections that the turnout this year may be as high
Speaker 1: as twenty five percent, And so that means that thirteen
Speaker 1: percent of the registered voters are going to decide the
Speaker 1: outcome of this election. That means eighty seven percent or not.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that?
Speaker 2: I think that it's problematic. And again, I think part
Speaker 2: of this is that if you flip on your TV
Speaker 2: or you go to your favorite social media account, you're
Speaker 2: going to see all kinds of chatter about every single
Speaker 2: damn thing that happens in Washington, DC. We seem to
Speaker 2: be focused on federal issues. I get why they're impactful,
Speaker 2: and people lose track of how important local offices are.
Speaker 2: Local government is. And again look at our beloved Queen City.
Speaker 2: And again I think you know this. I know and
Speaker 2: love Cincinnati very well. My dad went to UC. I've
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time down there. I was just
Speaker 2: down there knocking on doors for Corey Bowman last weekend
Speaker 2: because I think he's the right man for the job,
Speaker 2: who's finally going to turn this great American city around
Speaker 2: and let it be what it was always meant to be,
Speaker 2: and that is a thriving place where families can live
Speaker 2: and work and raise a family. It's not that right now,
Speaker 2: but you know, we need more people to actually get
Speaker 2: out and make their voices heard. There are more Republicans
Speaker 2: in Hamilton County than almost any other county in the state.
Speaker 2: The problem is they're outnumbered. If they actually bother to
Speaker 2: go up and vote today, they could flip the Natty.
Speaker 2: It's a very real possibility that we could put a
Speaker 2: Republican in office in the mayor's office in the city
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. What a tremendous thing that would be.
Speaker 1: Now, secondly, we have a situation. You were on the
Speaker 1: reapportionment board. You were one of the seven to carve
Speaker 1: up the districts. Can you put a period on the sentence?
Speaker 1: Be goes to Democrats? And the Republicans agreed to carve
Speaker 1: up the congressional districts number one to by correct and
Speaker 1: number two. What was the goal?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there was a unanimous and bipartisan vote on
Speaker 2: this in the Redistricting Commission. And I think that when
Speaker 2: you have a vote like that, both sides are going
Speaker 2: to have something they like something they don't like about it.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody loves the process or the way
Speaker 2: that the process plays out, but it was at least
Speaker 2: a result of consensus building and compromising that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Here's the bottom line. My goal was to go in
Speaker 2: there and make sure that first of all, all we
Speaker 2: complied with the Constitution.
Speaker 3: We did that.
Speaker 2: Second of all, that we create districts that relatively mirror
Speaker 2: the political leanings of the state of Ohio.
Speaker 3: And again I believe that we did that.
Speaker 2: And then third, putting on my hat as a Republican,
Speaker 2: I want to make sure that I'm not putting my
Speaker 2: party in a disadvantage or candidly want to put my
Speaker 2: party in an advantageous position on this, and so let's
Speaker 2: be candidate about this. What we ended up with was
Speaker 2: a map that creates twelve Republican districts and three Democratic districts.
Speaker 2: Twelve Republican districts and three Democratic districts. The current state
Speaker 2: in Ohio is ten Republican districts and five Democratic districts.
Speaker 2: And the challenge that we faced was that if the
Speaker 2: legislature had drawn different maps, maybe that created thirteen Republican
Speaker 2: districts instead of twelve, it would have certainly been subject.
Speaker 3: To a referendum.
Speaker 2: The Ohio Constitution is very clear that the moment the
Speaker 2: leftist dark money groups gather two hundred thousand signatures, it
Speaker 2: would freeze the implementation of the current maps.
Speaker 3: It would require us.
Speaker 2: To run the twenty twenty sixth election on the old
Speaker 2: maps back to ten to five, and most likely trigger
Speaker 2: us having to run in August special election for congressional primaries.
Speaker 2: All kinds of chaos, all kinds of bad things, something
Speaker 2: that was to be avoided.
Speaker 1: And I look at Greg Lansman's district that appears to
Speaker 1: be like a plus six Republican. But I look at
Speaker 1: some of the recent voting in that district that's very close.
Speaker 1: Whoever you Republicans pick for that district to run against
Speaker 1: Greg Lansman going to have to be pretty damn good.
Speaker 1: He's a good politician, and it's going to be a
Speaker 1: close race, etc. I would add one other thing.
Speaker 2: Man, candidates matter, Party chairs matter. State center is a
Speaker 2: great woman named Diane Cunningham that's on our state Central Committee.
Speaker 2: That'll be involved in that conversation, by the way, But
Speaker 2: finding the right candidate matters, and the party's job is
Speaker 2: to find the right candidate, and that's something has to
Speaker 2: happen over the next couple.
Speaker 1: Months, you know, immediate complaining about this. Oh, I asked
Speaker 1: you the question, you may know the answer. There's about
Speaker 1: six New England states, that being, if my geography is correct,
Speaker 1: you got Maine, you got Vermont, you have New Hampshire,
Speaker 1: you have Massachusetts, you have Connecticut, you got Rhode Island.
Speaker 1: And in those states they're a little bit smaller than
Speaker 1: the state of California population wise, those six states how many,
Speaker 1: And those six states voted forty percent for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: So you would think about forty percent of the congressional
Speaker 1: districts would be Republican. How many Republican congressmen or congress
Speaker 1: women are there in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Speaker 1: and Rhode Island. Can you, Frank Lerosa, can you give
Speaker 1: me a round number? How many?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the round number is zero.
Speaker 2: And it's because of Democratic jerryman And by the way,
Speaker 2: when the Democrats do it, it doesn't get called out.
Speaker 2: When the Republicans do it, every reporter, every leftist journalist
Speaker 2: in the state, in the country wants to talk about.
Speaker 2: So here's the other thing that happens. Willy city council
Speaker 2: wards get redistricted by Democratic city councils.
Speaker 3: In counties that have a county council.
Speaker 2: Form of government, like where I grew up in Summit County,
Speaker 2: in Cuyahoga County, they redraw the county council districts. They
Speaker 2: jerrymander the heck out of that to create a situation
Speaker 2: where it's darn near impossible for a Republican to get
Speaker 2: elected to city council. No problem to the county council,
Speaker 2: and nobody ever says a word of it.
Speaker 3: No problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Illinois seventeen districts, fifteen Democrats, two Republicans, and that's
Speaker 1: okay with the media, no problem. We go from there.
Speaker 1: But today's going to be a day become informed, then
Speaker 1: go vote. Any difficulties at polling places. I know New Jersey.
Speaker 1: I was on a station this morning, wond and New
Speaker 1: Jersey and they were having the ever having bomb threats
Speaker 1: called in and which is stupid. Is there any problem
Speaker 1: with voting in the state of Ohio at this point?
Speaker 2: Nothing systemic. We've had the small things here and there,
Speaker 2: a power outage or you know that kind of thing,
Speaker 2: but nothing systemic or widespread. Of course, our operations team
Speaker 2: is ready to jump on it if there is. And
Speaker 2: by the way, if you see anything that's not right
Speaker 2: at your polling location, the first thing you should do
Speaker 2: is talk to that voting location manager. They are there
Speaker 2: to do that job and they'll correct it under most scenarios.
Speaker 2: But we've also got a report line. You can text
Speaker 2: the word report to three four two six two three
Speaker 2: four two sixty two. You text report and then we'll
Speaker 2: be on top of it from the Ohio Secretary of
Speaker 2: State's office.
Speaker 3: You can also message us on our website.
Speaker 1: Lastly, give the website of ill informed voters want to
Speaker 1: become more informed and not be a member of the
Speaker 1: board simply a bust to a pole to vote with
Speaker 1: a with a blue or a red ballot. Can you
Speaker 1: tell me again the website that we need to go
Speaker 1: to to become a little bit more informed.
Speaker 2: Vote ohio dot gov. That's your place for the right
Speaker 2: kind of ID. What to bring you know for your ID,
Speaker 2: what polling location to go to, what's going to.
Speaker 3: Be on your ballot?
Speaker 2: Really anything you need to be an informed voter anywhere
Speaker 2: in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 3: Vote Ohio dot go.
Speaker 1: All right, Frank LaRose three four seven tastes so good.
Speaker 1: You got to get at bad once again. Thanks for
Speaker 1: coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. You can Jerry Manner
Speaker 1: for political reasons. You cannot Jerry Manner for racial reasons.
Speaker 1: And the reason many of the Democrats are enraged and
Speaker 1: I want to use African American people and voters as
Speaker 1: an excuse to throw out the ballots when they do
Speaker 1: exactly the same thing. But Jered mannering for political reasons
Speaker 1: is good according to US Supreme Court, Jered Manning for
Speaker 1: racial reasons is bad, which did not happen in Ohio.
Speaker 1: You jerry mandered, so to speak for shall I say,
Speaker 1: political reasons and not racial reasons. Frank LaRose, you're a
Speaker 1: great American. Thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Thanks Willy, get out and vote.
Speaker 1: God bless America. Thank you, Frank. Let's continue with more
Speaker 1: the line becomes available five one to three, seven four, nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand. I'll say once again that if you're what
Speaker 1: is it about twelve twenty two in the afternoon on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: if you're ill informed, you won't take ten minutes to
Speaker 1: go online in order to find out what the issues are.
Speaker 1: If you have no clue who's running and don't know
Speaker 1: what they stand for, and you're politically a dumb ass,
Speaker 1: don't vote because you canceled the ballot of someone who
Speaker 1: took the time to become informed. The only way a
Speaker 1: democratic republic works is to have informed voters willing to
Speaker 1: make changes when things are going the wrong direction. And
Speaker 1: if you saimply are given a ballot slapped in your
Speaker 1: hand vote for these candidates, then you're stupid and don't vote.
Speaker 1: And bright people can be stupid about any issue. Hell,
Speaker 1: I'm stupid about a bunch of stuff. I'm not stupid
Speaker 1: about politics. Other issues, I'm very stupid. So if you're
Speaker 1: ill informed and you're a dumbass on politics, don't vote.
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred w Bill Cunningham, the
Speaker 1: Great American. Of course, the Dreehouse name is well known
Speaker 1: for the last fifty years in the Hamlety County. And
Speaker 1: I used to run around with Don dree House the
Speaker 1: dead along with Sako Wathy and Carol Grow and Pam
Speaker 1: Swafford back in the good old days. And one of
Speaker 1: Don dree House's children who's mature and tellt himself as
Speaker 1: Don dree House, the older and wiser brother of Denise
Speaker 1: dree House on County Commission. And Don dree House is
Speaker 1: running for city council. Many of the experts say that
Speaker 1: Don dry House has a great chance of getting on
Speaker 1: council to change things. And Don dree House Junior, welcome
Speaker 1: to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Don, first of all,
Speaker 1: why are you running for council this year? What is different?
Speaker 5: Well, Bill, you know I actually ran for council thirty
Speaker 5: years ago in nineteen ninety five, and I lived over
Speaker 5: on the West Side in pricesil for over forty years.
Speaker 5: I think it's time for change in this city. I mean,
Speaker 5: it just feels like things aren't working properly. I think
Speaker 5: we need to get in on this cliche. But you know,
Speaker 5: back to basics. We need to just do what the
Speaker 5: city should do. And I even talked to my brother
Speaker 5: Steve last night and Steve's like, Donnie, He's like, you
Speaker 5: know that they we just need more police on the beat.
Speaker 5: We need to clean the city streets. Yes, the city
Speaker 5: should do what the city should do. We need to
Speaker 5: quit forgetting about all this other stuff that's not really
Speaker 5: in their purview, not in there, you know, there shouldn't
Speaker 5: be of their agenda.
Speaker 1: And I tend to agree with that.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm I'm endorsed by the Charter, and the
Speaker 5: Charter's philosophy over one hundred years is just you know,
Speaker 5: let's stick to the city matters and do you know,
Speaker 5: let's get this city to work first before we start
Speaker 5: expanding our horizons and don jury.
Speaker 1: How's about law enforcement? According to the standards of fifteen
Speaker 1: years ago, the city police are down about one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty cops. According to the crimes being committed, and
Speaker 1: it appears to be two hundred cops, and that there's
Speaker 1: been efforts to pass year or two to get more
Speaker 1: cops or to have sideway transfers. I don't know why
Speaker 1: somebody would go from Dell High Township or Sharonville, Madaire
Speaker 1: to become a Cincinnati cop. I don't know why they
Speaker 1: would do that. You have to attract them with money. Well,
Speaker 1: if you get on council, what's going to be the
Speaker 1: reason that many want to join CPD, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: is a tremendously professional police force, is recognized nationally or
Speaker 1: was recognized as the gold standard. And now the chief
Speaker 1: of police more or less is fired because she wouldn't
Speaker 1: do what the mayor wanted her to do in the
Speaker 1: city manager. So to getting back to the question on council,
Speaker 1: what do you do to attract more men and women
Speaker 1: to serve?
Speaker 5: Well, first off, you've got to take the pressure off
Speaker 5: the police and fire departments when it comes to calls
Speaker 5: for service. Right now, I work actively over in District
Speaker 5: three with the group of in District three. I mean,
Speaker 5: and our police are fire station is fire Station twenty four.
Speaker 5: Their run they're call for service and their runs are
Speaker 5: non stop they're always on back up and you can't
Speaker 5: be proactive if you're constantly on the on call. To
Speaker 5: your point, it's going to take three or four years
Speaker 5: if you're going through just the recruiting process to replace
Speaker 5: the police that are retiring. So I've actually had some
Speaker 5: conversations with the police that were the last week or two.
Speaker 5: Talk to some of the guys in the rank and file.
Speaker 5: It's like, you know, they're looking to get there.
Speaker 6: They're going to.
Speaker 5: Retire in three or four years. I said, what would
Speaker 5: it do to be attractive to keep you on the force.
Speaker 5: Is why we're bringing young guys. I said, oh, you know,
Speaker 5: just make it a little more. You know, we need
Speaker 5: to be respected, we need to be understood that you
Speaker 5: you know, you know, we need to be sported.
Speaker 1: And I think first to build morale. But from the
Speaker 1: calls for.
Speaker 5: Service side, Bill, I look at it like we can
Speaker 5: use technology to see what's driving these calls. Not every
Speaker 5: address in the city is driving twenty to thirty calls
Speaker 5: for service every month, and we know what this is.
Speaker 5: But unfortunately, because of the lack of transparency, we don't
Speaker 5: share data fire police, you know, health data. It needs
Speaker 5: to be combined and then you look at it and
Speaker 5: you go, hey, we've got a problem over here at
Speaker 5: address maybe at the corner of Warsaw and you know,
Speaker 5: up on Warsaw by Wells, and we need to deal
Speaker 5: with this, and we need to deal with it right now,
Speaker 5: because we had twenty calls last week where no calls
Speaker 5: are happening two blocks away. So then we can start
Speaker 5: focusing in on what's really driving it and then maybe
Speaker 5: take the pressure off the police and make their job
Speaker 5: a little more proactive where they can go out and
Speaker 5: just be more get back into the community policing spirit
Speaker 5: where you're you know, you're out in the streets, you're
Speaker 5: you're seeing what's going on, and you can be a
Speaker 5: little more you know, you're not always constantly under threat.
Speaker 5: And I think that's the feeling right now. We have
Speaker 5: a great police force, one of the oldest in the country.
Speaker 5: It's a wonderful police force. I have relatives that have
Speaker 5: been on the police force, yes, and we need to
Speaker 5: do everything to support our police. And right now I
Speaker 5: think they just feel, you.
Speaker 1: Know, a little down in the mount you know, Don
Speaker 1: Dreehouse the police departments in complete turmoil because their chief
Speaker 1: was put on leave, which means she's fired. The mayor
Speaker 1: hires a big time law firm to find out why
Speaker 1: he did that. The mayor wants to know why I
Speaker 1: fired at Fiji and wants to hire this law firm
Speaker 1: to bootstrap it up months from now at a cost
Speaker 1: of forty thousand dollars plus to tell me why I
Speaker 1: did something. Doesn't he know why he did something? And
Speaker 1: when this thing starts with Attorney Doug Brannon on the
Speaker 1: criminal charges against Alex Schravinsky, I had him on a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, the attorney, and he said, we're
Speaker 1: fully in contact with US Attorney's Office, Department of Justice
Speaker 1: Civil Rights Division because you had city leaders and state
Speaker 1: leaders holding a news conference saying we want a white
Speaker 1: person charged with a crime, and that person was Alex Stravinski,
Speaker 1: who did nothing wrong other than get beat in the
Speaker 1: back of the head. And so the turmoil is only beginning.
Speaker 1: If you get on council, you're going to have complete turmoil,
Speaker 1: which happened four or five years ago when four or
Speaker 1: five were in died it and some went to federal
Speaker 1: prison for what they did in office. And now the
Speaker 1: command staff is going to be in depositions for day
Speaker 1: after day on What did you know? When did you
Speaker 1: know it? Why was Thiji fired? Why did the mayor
Speaker 1: and city manager say she was doing great work until
Speaker 1: a week before? What pressures was brought to break? The
Speaker 1: real crap's going to start after the election, in which
Speaker 1: we need adults on city Council to see Cincinnati through
Speaker 1: the rough waters ahead. There's distant thunder and lightning of
Speaker 1: a US attorney who is now sending out subpoenas to
Speaker 1: individuals in the city to find out did you really
Speaker 1: say you wanted a white person charge with a crime
Speaker 1: because that's illegal? So are you ready for the crap
Speaker 1: storm about to happen?
Speaker 5: Well, first, Bill, yes, I've actually been through this in
Speaker 5: some extent when I was chair of the Housing Authority
Speaker 5: back in the early two thousands, after the we had
Speaker 5: the riots in Cincinnati, and that was a pretty volatile
Speaker 5: period then for you know, everything that was going on
Speaker 5: with the police department, the reluctance to be involved. But
Speaker 5: when it comes to the chief, the chief should never
Speaker 5: been let go. Saying they're now going to investigate it
Speaker 5: for the fact makes no sense whatsoever. She did nothing wrong.
Speaker 5: I mean, she's look, if I'm on city council. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna say, has this decision been made? You want to
Speaker 5: move on from the chief? Okay, if you do, let's
Speaker 5: settle this and that's it. I said, We're not gonna
Speaker 5: we're not gonna turn this into some witch hunt because
Speaker 5: it's not right. I mean, she was used as a
Speaker 5: scapegout there were back in twenty twenty two, and essence,
Speaker 5: she was instructed to kind of we're gonna look at
Speaker 5: things in a different way and back off a little bit.
Speaker 5: She was just to your points. She was doing what
Speaker 5: you told. And now, because of all the reactions to
Speaker 5: the incidents that have happened over the summer and recently,
Speaker 5: she's being held out as the reason why. And I'm like, no,
Speaker 5: that's not the case. Let's just work something out with
Speaker 5: the chief and see what.
Speaker 1: We can do.
Speaker 5: But no, we do not need to do some long investigation.
Speaker 5: She didn't do anything illegal or wrong. And it implies
Speaker 5: that she did, she did not.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 1: The mayor wants the law firm to determine why he
Speaker 1: did what he did, and mainly he wants dirt on her.
Speaker 1: He wants dirt, he wants to blaspheme and to fame
Speaker 1: Teresa Thiji, and she's not going to have it, and
Speaker 1: the officers around her is not going to have it,
Speaker 1: and so the best thing to do is to drop
Speaker 1: this thing, pay her off whatever it takes, and that's
Speaker 1: what they're counting on. But Don drey Helse, I pray
Speaker 1: to God if I had a vote on council, you'd
Speaker 1: be one of the four or five I'd vote for
Speaker 1: it because you bring common sense. You have a long
Speaker 1: history in this city. You care about the city, fixing
Speaker 1: the potholes, removing the snow, doing the basics, and right
Speaker 1: now we are in deep trouble. Don dree House once again,
Speaker 1: give my best your family to Steven too a Denise,
Speaker 1: and may your dad Don dree House rest in peace.
Speaker 1: He was a great man him and Soako Weeethy and
Speaker 1: Don dree House, you're a great American. Thanks for coming
Speaker 1: on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Don, Thank you Bill,
Speaker 1: God bless you. Let's continue with more. There you go
Speaker 1: full you think the election solves anything, It's just beginning
Speaker 1: and we need a new crew to make sure these
Speaker 1: mistakes don't happen again. Why smear Chief Thiji for political reasons?
Speaker 1: Mayor why do that? And why hire a law firm
Speaker 1: to tell you why you did something? Bill Cunningham, who's
Speaker 1: Radio seven hundred W all right, Dave Katon, hit the music.
Speaker 1: Please hit the music. That's important stuff. Let's continue. Whenever stop,
Speaker 1: we simply always continue. First, I want to see a
Speaker 1: couple other things. There are two local candidates in Anderson
Speaker 1: Township that needs your vote. That is Joshua Girth and
Speaker 1: Lexi Loustan. They are law and order types. They're going
Speaker 1: to move Anderson Township forward. And also the great lead
Speaker 1: Sriwonka and Blue Ash. He's a visionary. He knows what
Speaker 1: Blue Ash needs and what it doesn't need. Be an
Speaker 1: excellent time in those locales to do that and do
Speaker 1: that immediately, if not sooner. Plus I would point out
Speaker 1: also that deer Park Community Schools has a levee up
Speaker 1: because they haven't been on had had a levee in
Speaker 1: seven eight nine years. And there's no better school district
Speaker 1: in America, you know, than Deer Park Community Schools. It
Speaker 1: raised me properly, and I know levees are always hard
Speaker 1: to devote for, but if you live in dllan Vale,
Speaker 1: Sycamore Township or the City of deer Park, understand that
Speaker 1: deer Park Schools is moving forward. This levee would increase
Speaker 1: your taxes by about twenty dollars a month on average,
Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month. And right now, as you may know,
Speaker 1: deer Park is in the top ten school districts and
Speaker 1: all of Hambleton County because of what they've done academically,
Speaker 1: what they've done athletically, what they've done to student teacher ratios,
Speaker 1: and what they've done with discipline in the schools. It's functional,
Speaker 1: it's good, it's about the best there is. So I'm
Speaker 1: proud to endorse the deer Park Community School levee. The
Speaker 1: levee only costs about twenty dollars and thirteen cents a month,
Speaker 1: or about about sixty seven cents a day. And they've
Speaker 1: not been back to you for a levee in like
Speaker 1: seven eight nine years. And the Chris Housters and the
Speaker 1: gym stalls and all the rest the Robertsons understand that
Speaker 1: they work hard, work smart. In fact, many years in
Speaker 1: Deer Park there are no teachers who leave because once
Speaker 1: you come there, it's like the Hotel California. You can't
Speaker 1: leave because it functions. It's a walkable community, it's five
Speaker 1: minutes from I seventy one, five minutes from I seventy five,
Speaker 1: five minutes from Ronald Reagan Highway anywhere in Hamilton County.
Speaker 1: The heart and soul of this county is Deer Park
Speaker 1: and they seldom asked for a levee because they manage
Speaker 1: their money so well. But now's the time, and now's
Speaker 1: the hour. The top ten school districts in Hamilton County,
Speaker 1: they're up there with Indian Hill, Merriman and Madeira believe
Speaker 1: it in not Wyoming. That's how good Deer Park is.
Speaker 1: And I don't vote in that district anymore, but I
Speaker 1: like to encourage all the parents of Deer Park schools
Speaker 1: to get out and vote, because when you do good
Speaker 1: things for good people the right way, you should be rewarded.
Speaker 1: And this is the school district because of Jim Stall
Speaker 1: and because of so many others before him, Chris Euster
Speaker 1: that are working hard to provide quality education. And one
Speaker 1: thing they've reached out because of Mandy robertson deer Park
Speaker 1: head are on about a week ago. It was always
Speaker 1: available money from the state and so to defray some
Speaker 1: of the expenses by getting specialized programming for middle class
Speaker 1: kids with the high school education to start work at
Speaker 1: eighty to one hundred thousand dollars a year through workmanship
Speaker 1: programs inside the deer Park High School and many Robertson
Speaker 1: and Jim Stall and others make sure that happens, and
Speaker 1: they do it so when good things happen to good
Speaker 1: people should be rewarded. And Deer Park Community schools the
Speaker 1: cost is about twenty dollars a month per home to
Speaker 1: have these functional schools, which are the critical part. And
Speaker 1: even for those that don't have kids in school, your
Speaker 1: property values in Deer Park's going up fifty percent in
Speaker 1: the past eight years. Fifty percent increase because young families
Speaker 1: want to move to deer Park. Everybody wants to move
Speaker 1: to deer Park. My producer Dave Keaton would love to
Speaker 1: move to deer Park, you know that. And it's just
Speaker 1: a wonderful place to be. So please vote for the kids.
Speaker 1: When good things happen, reward them. And lastly, we have
Speaker 1: Steve Gooden coming up after one o'clock today, one of
Speaker 1: the council candidates, and also coming up later Sherry Pulling
Speaker 1: from the Board of Elections low after two to see
Speaker 1: what's happening. We get the government we deserve. And if
Speaker 1: you live in the city of Cincinnati and you don't
Speaker 1: vote for change, it's because you're not paying attention or
Speaker 1: because you're an ideologue. Because there must be change taking
Speaker 1: place in that city. It is awful. The crime, the graffiti,
Speaker 1: the open air drug use, the dismantling of the police
Speaker 1: department by firing a popular police chief and then seeking
Speaker 1: a law for him to dig up dirt on Teresa Thigi?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Largely, she's a will employee anyway,
Speaker 1: and she can be let go for a good reason,
Speaker 1: a bad reason, or no reason. So simply to say
Speaker 1: you'll put you on an administrative leave, appoint your successor.
Speaker 1: Then I'm going to hire a law firm Frost Brown
Speaker 1: Todd to tell me why I did something to justify
Speaker 1: The only way to do that is to get dirt
Speaker 1: on her. The way to get dirt on her, they think,
Speaker 1: is to issue subpoenas to the command staff a CPD
Speaker 1: to get dirt on Teresa Thiji. Is that the way
Speaker 1: to run our city? Do you think the big idea
Speaker 1: of this marriage to have a computer program for removing snow,
Speaker 1: which they didn't do the last time. If that was
Speaker 1: a great idea, why didn't have it in place a
Speaker 1: year ago? That the city's in complete chaos, But you
Speaker 1: wouldn't know that by trying to talk to have to
Speaker 1: have pureval I'm okay, you're okay. And among the worst
Speaker 1: things they do is to interfere with police decisions on
Speaker 1: charging people with crime personally, and that is despicable and
Speaker 1: it's disgusting. And my source for that is Attorney Doug Brannon.
Speaker 1: It was on with me a week ago, off and
Speaker 1: on there. He told me that he's been in contact
Speaker 1: US Attorney's Office Civil Rights Division in order to provide
Speaker 1: them information about a civil rights violation committed by the
Speaker 1: city council against his client, Alex Stravinsky, when the city
Speaker 1: political leadership, not the police, that political leadership decided to
Speaker 1: criminally charge someone because of the color of their skin white.
Speaker 1: It's recall the news conference. If you're in the so
Speaker 1: called civil rights crowd with that disdained look in your eye,
Speaker 1: you can shoot your mouth off, say whatever you want.
Speaker 1: It's called the First Amendment.
Speaker 3: Have at it.
Speaker 1: If you're Damon Lynch, etc. You can, much like a
Speaker 1: talk show host, First Amendment applies. Hey have at it.
Speaker 1: Say whatever you want. But when you're a state official
Speaker 1: Cecil Thomas, or a city official Lemon Kearney, you can't
Speaker 1: stand up and tell the world how stupid you are.
Speaker 1: And that Lemon Courney went to Harvard Law School, for
Speaker 1: God's sakes, many years ago, about a half century. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: using the power of the city in the state to
Speaker 1: charge an innocent man with a crime for political reasons
Speaker 1: and racial reasons is the stuff the Democrats did in
Speaker 1: the South fifty sixty years ago. Now it's happening in
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. I had one other Democratic leader
Speaker 1: in the city who must go nameless, saying what a
Speaker 1: crap show the city of Cincinnati is. What's no part
Speaker 1: of it. So don't believe the hype of the mayor
Speaker 1: and others that the city's happy days are here again.
Speaker 1: No blood is running in the streets of Cincinnati. Graffiti
Speaker 1: and homelessness is everywhere, open air drug use. Cops are demoralized.
Speaker 1: Think about that. When you cast your ballot, plus they screwed,
Speaker 1: blued and tattooed Hyde Park. Then when you arose like
Speaker 1: a mighty tsunami to oppose it, they quickly switched out,
Speaker 1: but they're going to come back next year and ram
Speaker 1: it right down your throats again. Let's continue later on.
Speaker 1: We have a great Steve Goodin later on. Also we
Speaker 1: have Sherry pulling from the Board of Elections and more
Speaker 1: one o'clock Home of your Reds in Bengals. Plus there's
Speaker 1: trades going on Galore Sega. Will have all beginning at
Speaker 1: about one point thirty on news Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: All right, Billy Cunningham the Great America Today, Election Day.
Speaker 1: I'm going to put on many of the canage for offices.
Speaker 1: I spoke to my friends in Boone County and Kenton
Speaker 1: County and not much happening there, not much happening in Indiana.
Speaker 1: So we're going to cover Ohio and Cincinnati politics as
Speaker 1: much as we can. Coming up later, we'll be Lenda
Speaker 1: Matthews and many others including Don Dreehouse going to come
Speaker 1: on too to talk later on and about what's happening.
Speaker 1: He's running for council, but joining you and I now
Speaker 1: as a man that's served on council before. Hopefully he
Speaker 1: will serve on council again. That's the honorable Steve Goodin
Speaker 1: and Steve, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Steve,
Speaker 1: first of all, how do you feel this Tuesday afternoon?
Speaker 1: Are you confident? Not confident? Are you typically optimistic? What
Speaker 1: are you.
Speaker 6: Well? We try not to be tepid about it anything,
Speaker 6: mister cutting Cam. I'll tell you we feel really good
Speaker 6: about it. I'm posted up over here at Christ the
Speaker 6: King Church cardinval Chelli School in Hyde Park mout lookout area,
Speaker 6: and I'll tell you this is a very democratic area.
Speaker 6: But we're getting a lot of thumbs up from voters
Speaker 6: as they go in. People are fed up. They're fed
Speaker 6: up with the crime, They're fed up with the lack
Speaker 6: of policing. They're fed up with the graffiti, the litter,
Speaker 6: the just lawlessness. And in this neighborhood they're really fed
Speaker 6: up and fired up still about that whole development tobacle
Speaker 6: and High Park Square. Those people are out in a
Speaker 6: big way today the safe High Park Square. People are
Speaker 6: campaigning at the polls, educating voters about the six council
Speaker 6: members who voted against their interest. So there's a lot
Speaker 6: of energy over.
Speaker 1: This way as far as the crime issue. Scott's lun
Speaker 1: hint on this morning, one of the business owners in
Speaker 1: the area of the so called bar, the Privy Bar,
Speaker 1: and what's just yesterday there was another eight people shot
Speaker 1: in the city. Gun play is everywhere. There are many judges,
Speaker 1: and you know how easy they are. When I talk
Speaker 1: to my criminal defense brothers, they tell me how pleased
Speaker 1: they are with the bench in Hamley County because it
Speaker 1: used to be if you had a criminal defendant you represented,
Speaker 1: it was somewhat difficult to get probation, somewhat difficult to
Speaker 1: get out on bond. And right now they fly out
Speaker 1: out of the courthouse like bats on Easter morning to
Speaker 1: get get the hell out. And the whole attitude has changed.
Speaker 1: But it begins with the police. What role do you
Speaker 1: think that Thiji? I call it the discharge. She's not
Speaker 1: coming back anytime soon. And then the mayor and the
Speaker 1: city manager had to hire a big time law firm,
Speaker 1: Frost Brown in order to tell the mayor why he
Speaker 1: fired Fiji. The mayor has to be told why he
Speaker 1: did it, which is kind of bast awkwards. But how
Speaker 1: big is crime issue when you can flee the city,
Speaker 1: ignore the crime and live in the burbs. And that's
Speaker 1: what people are doing, that's what businesses are doing. That's
Speaker 1: what Procter and Gamble is doing, is what Kroger is doing,
Speaker 1: It's what Fit Third Bank is doing, and they're getting
Speaker 1: the hell out of Dodge. It's like gun smoke with
Speaker 1: mss Kitty. How big is the crime issue? Do you
Speaker 1: think in the minds of voters?
Speaker 6: It is? It is the number one issue. You know,
Speaker 6: no pun intended, it's number one with a bullet it is.
Speaker 6: It is I think the primary motivator of the folks
Speaker 6: that we talked to. And Okay for your Democrat or
Speaker 6: Republican or Charter or whatever you are, everybody knows that
Speaker 6: it's out of hand. It's been trending that way for years.
Speaker 6: There's just been a general sense of lawlessness downtown and
Speaker 6: then the neighborhood. It started with the open pot smoking
Speaker 6: and then the open homelessness. People were allowed to just
Speaker 6: camp out everywhere, and now suddenly you have the gun violence.
Speaker 6: You know, it's developed over time. We know we are
Speaker 6: short police officers. They haven't even revisited the compliment since
Speaker 6: two thousand and five, and we were two hundred short
Speaker 6: of that number. So we need at least three to
Speaker 6: four hundred more police officers. Even be serious, and you
Speaker 6: know what, You're absolutely right. These judges have been a disaster. Well,
Speaker 6: I was prosecutor twenty years go. If you got caught
Speaker 6: with a gun, you've got a high bond, no matter
Speaker 6: what to charge. I mean, that's just how it was.
Speaker 6: You're going to sit there for at least a few
Speaker 6: weeks until we sorted it out, if not longer. So
Speaker 6: you know, it's a combination of things. These kind of
Speaker 6: this whole sort of progressive move that both the city
Speaker 6: Hall and the courthouse has taken has absolutely failed everyone.
Speaker 6: And you're right. I feel for the fifth thirds and
Speaker 6: you know, the big companies, but I'm really sorry about
Speaker 6: these mom and pop businesses, the hair salons, the barber shops,
Speaker 6: the places like cook sporting goods. They're the ones who
Speaker 6: have their life savings and in these businesses downtown and
Speaker 6: they're really feeling the pinch too. So there's a lot
Speaker 6: of anger, there's a lot of upset, and hopefully it's
Speaker 6: going to result in a in a very different council
Speaker 6: this year so that we can start to reverse some
Speaker 6: of these policies, higher en up police officers and try
Speaker 6: to just make the city safe. I mean, you can't
Speaker 6: do anything in this city if you don't feel safe.
Speaker 6: And it's that simple.
Speaker 1: Ang is relocating to Mason. They didn't announce it. I
Speaker 1: just did. I want you to put on your lawyer.
Speaker 1: Had I had on Doug Brannon about a week ago.
Speaker 1: He's the attorney from the Dayton area civil rights attorney
Speaker 1: and the gem City that represents Alex Stravinsky. And two
Speaker 1: issues came out of that that Doug Brannon is in
Speaker 1: contact with the US Attorney's office about the criminal civil
Speaker 1: rights violations by the mayor, the city manager, by lemon
Speaker 1: Kearney and others who held news conferences. You might recall normally,
Speaker 1: when you do stupid criminal stuff, you want to do
Speaker 1: stupid criminal stuff in private. But in this case, they're
Speaker 1: so stupid that they called in the TV cameras, they
Speaker 1: opened up the microphones and just blair to the world
Speaker 1: that we want a white person charged with a crime.
Speaker 1: And that white person became Alex Stravinsky. And the reason
Speaker 1: was is because he started the whole thing on July
Speaker 1: twenty seventh. Alex Stravinsky was the guy. Then it comes
Speaker 1: out from three c DC Steve Leeper, my good friend,
Speaker 1: that the camera show that it was not Alex Stravinsky
Speaker 1: who precipitated this, this riot, this brawl, this beatdown on
Speaker 1: Fourth Street. But rather it was the criminals themselves who
Speaker 1: started it with two punches to the back of the
Speaker 1: head of Alex Stravinsky. So when he slapped someone a
Speaker 1: few a minute or two later, it was in defense
Speaker 1: and retaliation of what had happened to him first. And
Speaker 1: so you're a lawyer. Can civil rights leaders, to be
Speaker 1: more specific, can state government representatives like cecil Thomas and
Speaker 1: city council members stand up and say, we demand that
Speaker 1: the police department filed criminal charges against someone because of
Speaker 1: their race. Is that legal?
Speaker 6: Well, Noah, I thought that was settled in this country
Speaker 6: about seventy years ago that you can't do that, and
Speaker 6: you know, and it was absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 1: And I'll just tell you this.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, all they had to do was
Speaker 6: on that issue was nothing. And that's the one thing
Speaker 6: that they typically are really good at at city Hall
Speaker 6: when it comes to crimes.
Speaker 3: Just do nothing.
Speaker 6: But you know, it's a rush to judgment. They didn't
Speaker 6: have all the evidence or well, actually I take that
Speaker 6: back now, I'm hearing that they've had these tapes all
Speaker 6: along to watch them and have been sitting on them.
Speaker 6: That's right. I mean, it's just disgusting. It's not the
Speaker 6: way you run a city. I mean, that's third world
Speaker 6: stuff where the leader comes out and says, I want
Speaker 6: this person charge regardless of the evidence, and I don't
Speaker 6: care to see what the evidence is. You know, it's
Speaker 6: mob rule. It's not good, it's not right. If it's
Speaker 6: one of those things that just chips away at that
Speaker 6: general sense of fairness and whether or not you have
Speaker 6: any kind of law and order rule of law in
Speaker 6: the city. You know, it's it's one of those things
Speaker 6: that's going to haunt them all no matter what the
Speaker 6: Justice Department does or doesn't do. I've heard the same thing.
Speaker 6: They're definitely in town, they're definitely interviewing witnesses and others,
Speaker 6: and it's just it's just awful. But even putting all
Speaker 6: the legal stuff aside, it just kills the morale with
Speaker 6: the police department. None of the officers at the scene
Speaker 6: wanted that guy charged, from what I understand, and it's
Speaker 6: just clear that politics is trumping what the police officers want,
Speaker 6: what the public wants, and here just probably trumping the
Speaker 6: plain old facts of what happened. It's a really sick thing.
Speaker 1: And secondly, Doug Brandon, the attorney for Alex Schervinski, said
Speaker 1: on our Era a week ago that it has received
Speaker 1: discovery from the City Prosecutor's office and the tape from
Speaker 1: three c DC exonerating his client was not included. So
Speaker 1: he made a telephone call after that, came out and said, hey,
Speaker 1: Madame City prosecutor, where's the tape? And she said, we're
Speaker 1: going to supplement our discovery later and if you want
Speaker 1: a continuance on December the eighth trial date, you can
Speaker 1: get it. And so they not only charge someone based
Speaker 1: upon their race falsely, then they tried to secrete from
Speaker 1: the defense the evidence to prove their client's innocence, which
Speaker 1: is you must provide exculpatory information. They also failed to
Speaker 1: do that. And in this case, the chief of police
Speaker 1: wouldn't sign the charge. According to ken Kober of the
Speaker 1: Police Department, the line officers, one of whom was black,
Speaker 1: would not sign the charges, and the city prosecutor herself
Speaker 1: would not sign the charges. But according to ken Kober
Speaker 1: that Emily smart Warner, who's the city solicitor, demanded that
Speaker 1: Captain Henny, who by the way, now is the interim
Speaker 1: chief of police signed the charges even though he did
Speaker 1: investigate the case. So Cancidian state government be used to
Speaker 1: file false criminal charges against someone because of their race.
Speaker 1: Of course the answers no. But then secondly, the millions
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars in damages that Stravinsky suffered at
Speaker 1: the hands of state and city government is out there.
Speaker 1: So at a minimum, they're going to try to buy
Speaker 1: off their silence with a lot of money, which might work.
Speaker 1: And with Fiji chief, they may buy off her silence
Speaker 1: with an NDA and a bunch of money to keep
Speaker 1: this thing quiet. So the mayor of Cincinnati is not
Speaker 1: criminally charged, the vice mayor is not criminally charged, the
Speaker 1: city manager is not criminally charged. We think we had
Speaker 1: problems four or five years ago with that crew going
Speaker 1: to federal prison. The same thing could happen. Can you
Speaker 1: smell what I'm cooking?
Speaker 6: Absolutely? I mean, first, at a minimum, you're gonna see
Speaker 6: millions of taxpayer dollars go out the door over a
Speaker 6: street fight on four Street. So I mean it tells
Speaker 6: you just how badly managed everything is. But I'll tell
Speaker 6: you this, if if we get enough of our folks
Speaker 6: on council.
Speaker 3: We're going to have public hearings.
Speaker 6: There's going to be a Truth and Reconciliation commission down
Speaker 6: there to try to get into this. I mean the
Speaker 6: fact that this is all being played out behind the
Speaker 6: scenes and everyone's so lawyered up and no one has
Speaker 6: any idea what's happening. We need to have some The
Speaker 6: council needs to show some oversight and step in. And
Speaker 6: that's one of the problems there. Now you have this
Speaker 6: total echo chamber. Everyone's afraid to cross the mayor. We
Speaker 6: need to get at the bottom of this and city council.
Speaker 6: That's one thing we could do. If we get enough
Speaker 6: people on there, we can hold hearings and we can
Speaker 6: just rip the lid off this thing and see what's
Speaker 6: really there. And I don't think anyone's gonna like it.
Speaker 1: It's ugly, and they want to keep the lid on
Speaker 1: until about seven thirty pm the night. Then the next
Speaker 1: year is going to be wild. If the Department of
Speaker 1: Justice charges criminally the leaders of our city with offenses
Speaker 1: which they made public their stupidity. There can't be anybody
Speaker 1: more stupid who commits a criminal act and brings in
Speaker 1: the news meet it to broadcast the crime. I mean,
Speaker 1: I watched it and said, are you kidding me? And
Speaker 1: the fact is they weren't kidding. Lastly, I had on
Speaker 1: the Irish rollie sitting right there yesterday and it took
Speaker 1: me a while to get down to the basics. And
Speaker 1: she said, I asked her three times. She said, no,
Speaker 1: that shouldn't happen. Should city or state government charge a
Speaker 1: person with a crime because of the color of their skin?
Speaker 1: The answer is no. And we have city leaders broadcast
Speaker 1: in the fact they want a white person charged, and
Speaker 1: Countie Pillage, who's the county prosecutor, said no, we're not
Speaker 1: going to to do that, and to me and thief
Speaker 1: Gigi said we're not gonna do that, and they did it,
Speaker 1: and now they've crossed the rubicon. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I'm also cold. I'm also told Steve Gooden that later
Speaker 1: on they're going to dismiss the criminal charges anyway, because
Speaker 1: they're going to pay millions of dollars to Zervinski and
Speaker 1: try to avoid their own arrest. And to me, I
Speaker 1: can't think of a more blatant civil rights violation than
Speaker 1: a hold a news conference to tell their own prosecutor
Speaker 1: in this case, Emily's Smart Warner, you must charge someone
Speaker 1: with a crime because of the color of their skin.
Speaker 1: That should enrage everybody in our community. Once again, Steve Goodin,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on and good luck to you. What
Speaker 1: do you say about ten hours from now, if the
Speaker 1: same nine, the same eight get elected and Pureball wins.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when Nixon won in nineteen seventy two,
Speaker 1: and then later on Watergate happened. We got a Watergate
Speaker 1: scan brewing hair of incredible proportions, and it might be
Speaker 1: better for them to lose, get out of office, have
Speaker 1: your truth and reconciliation meetings together to understand what this
Speaker 1: crew did to the city, and then they'll let them
Speaker 1: deal with the Feds on the criminal violations down the road,
Speaker 1: because af Ted Pureval has criminal responsibilities, as does the
Speaker 1: city manager, and as does Emily Smart and Warner for
Speaker 1: filing false criminal charges against the person because of the
Speaker 1: color of their skin, and their witnesses are the chief
Speaker 1: of police and Cincinnati police officers who told them no,
Speaker 1: don't do it. And that's pretty good evidence. But anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, Steve good and good luck to you down
Speaker 1: the road, and we'll talk later.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, and God bless take care, God
Speaker 3: bless America.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more. There can't be a more blatant
Speaker 1: civil rights violation than they have. State officials and city
Speaker 1: officials demand that their prosecutors file criminal charges that are
Speaker 1: false against an is a man because of his race? Now,
Speaker 1: am I making any sense to you? Let's continue Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham's Radio seven hundreds. W All right, let's continue the
Speaker 1: experts like segment Dennis, and tell me the odds of
Speaker 1: apt pure of all losing are quite small. I have
Speaker 1: trust and faith in you that the same old, same
Speaker 1: old is not going to work this time. Too much
Speaker 1: is at risk. When Procter and God is moving to Mason,
Speaker 1: when Kroger is telling its employees, look, if you're unhappy
Speaker 1: about the violence in Cincinnati, just work from home. When
Speaker 1: Fifth Third Bank is sending all over the country some
Speaker 1: of their operations. In fact, the city is at risk
Speaker 1: of losing some of their big employers. And when there's
Speaker 1: blood running in the streets and the response from the
Speaker 1: mayor is silence other than I'm okay, you're okay, it's great.
Speaker 1: We got a major problem. The days ahead are going
Speaker 1: to be rougher than the days in the past because
Speaker 1: the investigation by this law firm and Teresa Thiji is
Speaker 1: going to find something that somebody could explode into significance
Speaker 1: to smear that fine woman, that mother and that grandmother,
Speaker 1: who did exactly what she was told to do by
Speaker 1: the city manager and by the mayor. She wasn't some
Speaker 1: wild card acting on her own. She did what they
Speaker 1: told her to do, even though she felt at times
Speaker 1: it was a wrong thing to do. She did it anyway.
Speaker 1: But one thing she wouldn't do was file false criminal
Speaker 1: charges against an innocent man because of his race. She
Speaker 1: would not do that. So they finally found someone that
Speaker 1: would do it, who, by the way now is the
Speaker 1: interim police Chief, Adam Henny. When his men and in
Speaker 1: his defense, I would say this. According to Ken Kober,
Speaker 1: the sergeant of the FOP, he considers Henny to be
Speaker 1: a profile encourage. Even though he stuck his neck on
Speaker 1: the line by filing an affidavit of false criminal charges
Speaker 1: against the innocent man because of race, Adam Henny did
Speaker 1: it to protect his men underneath him that those who
Speaker 1: did the investigation that knew the charges were false would
Speaker 1: not sign on the bottom line. So, in his view,
Speaker 1: Adam Henney, the captain now the police chief, was a
Speaker 1: profile encourage for taking the hit, rather than the men
Speaker 1: and women in blue who said, this is a bunch
Speaker 1: of bs. The city's in crisis. How will you respond?
Speaker 1: Blood running in the streets, an irrelevant council following criminal
Speaker 1: charges they should never do against the innocent, innocent man
Speaker 1: because of the color of his skin. Is that the
Speaker 1: kind of city you want to live in? Segment? He
Speaker 1: says yes. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven Hunters WLW, Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: We are certainly not going to sit on our hands. Hello,
Speaker 1: quiet skos, I'm broadcasting. This is almost like the trading
Speaker 1: deadline in baseball? Are the Bengals actually making moves right now?
Speaker 1: Who was not sitting on their hands? Was that your

Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'm saying, what is he done wrong?
Speaker 1: He's got a great team, He's got that draft pick
Speaker 1: from Logan Wilson. That seventh round draft pick next April
Speaker 1: could be the key. Speaking of that the Bengals today,
Speaker 1: around seven thirty years thank you, Bengals traded linebacker Logan
Speaker 1: Wilson to the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh round pick.
Speaker 1: And the blockbuster of the day, though, is between the
Speaker 1: Jets and the Indianapolis Colts. Tell us about it. Jets
Speaker 1: corner and former UC standout Sauce Gardner is headed to

Speaker 1: That's a good deal for the Colts. Do you agree?
Speaker 1: He goes to the Jets, to the Colts, and he
Speaker 1: also gets coached up by Well to get him back.
Speaker 1: So you you were saying get rid of lou give it? Yes,
Speaker 1: you did. Now you want him back, you wanted him out.
Speaker 1: I don't know much about him, right, neither do I.

Speaker 1: That got that, Terry Francota. Here we go, finalists for
Speaker 1: the National League Manager of the Year award. It deserves
Speaker 1: it over the manager of the Dodgers. If you spend
Speaker 1: one point three billion dollars on four pitchers. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he's not Dave Roberts. Now, he's not one of the
Speaker 1: finals Who were the finalists and you didn't tell me
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's Pat Murphy and Philadelphia's Rob Thompson. I'm watching the
Speaker 1: ESPN last night Up Pops the face of Joe Frederick
Speaker 1: Convicts versus that show's been on fifty times at the
Speaker 1: last team we watched it every time. It's unbelievable. It
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. T shirts made lots of dough Ray and
Speaker 1: the meeeah Convicts versus Catholics and Lou Holtz one at
Speaker 1: all the last time, Notre Dame one at all. Yes,
Speaker 1: and Joe was there to lead. So it's one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty two days until opening Day. What about the
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. We're talking about that yet? The NFL in April, Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it. That's the next big thing
Speaker 1: for the Bengals, isn't it. No, The bet next bigs
Speaker 1: thing is winning A week from Sunday. Could Flacco have
Speaker 1: done any better the last three games than Joe Burrow? No,
Speaker 1: and he's home in New Jersey. I don't blame him.
Speaker 1: And let's see. Also, Evan McPherson spoke today to the
Speaker 1: media and said that his family and Logan Wilson's family
Speaker 1: were headed in the next day or so to Disney
Speaker 1: World see Goofy but Wilson, why they go hold up
Speaker 1: on that car? Wise, gentlemen, Logan Wilson, you're going to
Speaker 1: the Southwest? And did you not the Mickey mouseland the
Speaker 1: happiest place on earth besides here. I guess the Colts
Speaker 1: play this weekend. So he was going to be off.
Speaker 1: Now he's not going to be off of house. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Let's see Kentucky High School Kentucky girls first
Speaker 1: round in the volleyball State Attorney. Notre Dame Mount, Notre Dame, No,
Speaker 1: Notre Dame wins over West Jessemin. They'll play in the
Speaker 1: quarterfinals Friday against Bowling Green. Good luck tonight, Ohio Girls
Speaker 1: State Soccer semi finals. Who is it? Seaton Anderson, that's
Speaker 1: chrismth Baden Summit Country Day and the Amazon of Madera
Speaker 1: back at it again are in. And you know Deer
Speaker 1: Park Community Schools was ranked as one of the top
Speaker 1: ten in Hamilton County right a little bit below Indian Hill, Wyoming,
Speaker 1: Madeira and Marymont. And secondly segment, Yeah, Logan Wilson, who
Speaker 1: thought he was off Sun, they may not be off.
Speaker 1: I assume Dallas is playing. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know where Dallas played. Well, they just played last night.
Speaker 1: While they played, but last night the lost horrible. He
Speaker 1: goes to the thirty second ranked defense of the thirty first,
Speaker 1: so he's making he's upgrade progress. He's going up slightly,
Speaker 1: just a little bit. And you know Evan McPherson kicked
Speaker 1: the wrong ball. Did you see this story? No, he
Speaker 1: missed that it was a fifty yard field goal or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sure, oh yeah, so he gets off. He can still
Speaker 1: go the world. They were goofy. I guess there's special
Speaker 1: balls that the kickers use and aren't the regular ball. Okay,
Speaker 1: And because it was a continuous play, no tom out
Speaker 1: was called. Yeah, McPherson kicked the ball that is used
Speaker 1: to play the game and not the K ball. Did
Speaker 1: you know that kickers have special balls. I think you
Speaker 1: have special balls too. But nonetheless they used the K ball.
Speaker 1: They didn't use the K ball. They used the game ball.
Speaker 1: And McPherson knew when he hit it hit it good.
Speaker 1: He said, if I was hitting my K ball, it
Speaker 1: would have gone fifty eight yards or sixty. I hit
Speaker 1: the G ball, the game ball, and it died. So
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's the Bengals right there. And in order
Speaker 1: to get the specialized ball, I say a week another
Speaker 1: thing in the game on Sunday, because it was continuous.
Speaker 1: If they if three guys could have tackled number eighty four,
Speaker 1: they would have had to use the G ball and
Speaker 1: not the K ball. The G ball is the game ball,
Speaker 1: so that means they would have tackled him. They would
Speaker 1: You have seventeen seconds either spiked the ball or let's
Speaker 1: go get some If they spiked the ball, they can
Speaker 1: used the CA ball. If you don't spike the ball,
Speaker 1: got to use the G ball. So if they rushed
Speaker 1: the field goal unit on the field, which of course
Speaker 1: they didn't have to do, and they would have used
Speaker 1: and the Bears used the G ball, he would have
Speaker 1: had to kick in an extra five yards. And McPherson said,
Speaker 1: he's got an excuse. I didn't play the CA ball
Speaker 1: with that Crystal guy who the Chicago had already missed one.
Speaker 1: Looked like I kicked it and he used it. It
Speaker 1: was blocked. I think it was blocked. I hit, he hit.
Speaker 1: I thought he missed one. It looked like it went
Speaker 1: into section two thirteen. That's when what's his name, Ivy
Speaker 1: was off sides? How are you off sides on that?
Speaker 1: I have no idea only but I bet you Darren
Speaker 1: Simmons down there is probably pulling his hair out. Just
Speaker 1: look to your right, see where the ball is. There's
Speaker 1: the ball. I'm gonna knock back a little line up
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. I want to
Speaker 1: be on this side of the ball. And of course
Speaker 1: they missed it. They scored a touchdown. Bingo, So sig,
Speaker 1: how do you explain this? Things happened to the Bengals
Speaker 1: that don't happen to normal team. The only thing't works
Speaker 1: about having the Bengals here is not having the Bengals here.
Speaker 1: I know you complain a lot about the Bengals and
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown. Well, are the Bengals Cleveland South or the
Speaker 1: Browns the Bengals North? The two teams, what are you
Speaker 1: doing at a combine them and playing Columbus on Sunday?
Speaker 1: You know that's a hell of anon. Why don't you
Speaker 1: That's a hell of an idea right there. You know,
Speaker 1: call them the Columbus Brown Bengals. I mean that's just
Speaker 1: an idea. Wow, you come up with a good idea
Speaker 1: every now. Play one here, play one up there, Play
Speaker 1: one here, play one up there. If you took the
Speaker 1: Browns defense and the Bengals offense, what if you had
Speaker 1: edge rushers of Miles Garrett and Trey Hendrickson, they'd have
Speaker 1: four They have four hundred sacks a month's which is
Speaker 1: the worst franchise. The Browns are the Bengals Browns, I say,
Speaker 1: easily the Browns. At least the Bengals have tasted. I mean,
Speaker 1: when number nine comes, nobody can surpass number nine. I
Speaker 1: don't care if the Browns bring back had seven million
Speaker 1: quarterbacks over there Graham, he won ten straight championship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll bring him back. He's dead. So I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: if you took the two teams together and played in
Speaker 1: Columbus the Columbus Brown Bengals, and maybe get a few
Speaker 1: players in the mix, maybe have the one side of
Speaker 1: the helmet orange and the other one with the stripes. Secondly,
Speaker 1: according to the AP, which is never wrong, Joe Kap,
Speaker 1: go ahead. Tom Brady has successfully cloned a dead dog
Speaker 1: of his I'm reading the story. What he found someone
Speaker 1: in the Silicon Valley that wanted to clone his dog.
Speaker 1: He took DNA from a dead dog like Schnor for Emma, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and cloned it like Zoomie, and a new a new
Speaker 1: dog has been born. What about Mimi and Tutu? You
Speaker 1: can clone him right now. Tom Brady cost him eighty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. He bly makes that every week to clone
Speaker 1: his dog. Have you thought about cloning a dog? Would
Speaker 1: you do that for that kind of money? Willie, I'd
Speaker 1: bring back all of What about you and the Schnorf
Speaker 1: and a peanut?
Speaker 3: Heead?
Speaker 1: Well, my favorite dog of all was Schnarf and then
Speaker 1: it was Maxine. Well, I'm just saying, what about them?
Speaker 1: I love it cloning dog. Let me see if I
Speaker 1: get that, I'm going to google everything today segment Tom
Speaker 1: Brady cloning a dog. Here it is. Tom Brady reveals
Speaker 1: that name is Juny is a clone of a former pet,
Speaker 1: Lua that died in twenty twenty three. He saved DNA
Speaker 1: from uh Lua. I mean, here's the story, my NFL quarterback,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady said on Tuesday, that's today. That is dog
Speaker 1: Juny is a clone of his late pet Lua, who
Speaker 1: passed away two years ago. The pit bull mix was
Speaker 1: shared by Brady, your next wife, Giselle Bunskin, and their children.
Speaker 1: By the way, she's impregnant. It by a boyfriend. That's
Speaker 1: a different story. I don't mean Tom Brady, I mean
Speaker 1: just Helle. The new dog was cloned using a blood
Speaker 1: sample collected before Lewis death. It was done at the
Speaker 1: Colossal Biosciences, a California based a biotech company that can
Speaker 1: clone the beginning with animals. Next up will be human
Speaker 1: beings will be cloned. You could be here longer than
Speaker 1: you think. See you and I could be cloned. For
Speaker 1: a stooge report in the year threey ten. How about
Speaker 1: this one? He said this, this is great. A few
Speaker 1: years ago, I worked with Colossal and leverage their non
Speaker 1: invasive cloning technology through a simple blood drawl of our
Speaker 1: family's dog that would pass away in the next two weeks.
Speaker 1: The company found it in twenty twenty one announced that
Speaker 1: it's a quite another biotech company by Agra Pets an
Speaker 1: Equan and has cloned pets of numerous celebrities below the
Speaker 1: radar at seventy thousand dollars. Would you want to clone
Speaker 1: Zuomi or Emma for seventy thousand, Well, Willie, both of
Speaker 1: them have been cremated, so I think, Mike, you know lessa.
Speaker 1: You can add water and bring him back. Humans are next,
Speaker 1: Willie and honor of a special day with one of
Speaker 1: our own. Happy twenty fifth wedding anniversary today to Paully
Speaker 1: and Tom Brenneman. Really correct. I like Tom Brenneman. He
Speaker 1: told me that this morning, and you don't, you'll get
Speaker 1: a You'll get a mentioned on the stooge. So congratulations
Speaker 1: Paully and Tom Brenneman. Twenty fifth wedding anniversary. Now you
Speaker 1: have at least twenty five or fifty more. Amen. We
Speaker 1: leave you with the immortal words of the stood report.
Speaker 3: And welcome to Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Is that Travis Kelcey or Tite that was a ted
Speaker 1: pirival the man who may be indicted by the federal
Speaker 1: authorities for demanding the indictment of criminal charges against the
Speaker 1: innocent man because of his skin color. Not the first
Speaker 1: time his city council is going to the joint. It's
Speaker 1: back to the future a news radio seven hundred w
Speaker 1: old by Billy Cunningham, the Great America and of course
Speaker 1: Sherry Poland at the Hemley County Board of Elections runs,
Speaker 1: by any fair estimate, the best local board of elections
Speaker 1: anywhere in the four thousand counties in America. They come
Speaker 1: here or learn at the feet of Sherry Poland when
Speaker 1: it comes to conducting full and fair elections. And Sherry Poland,
Speaker 1: welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. So it's now
Speaker 1: a little bit after two o'clock. Give me the parameters
Speaker 1: of the turnout. Give me when the polls close. Talk
Speaker 1: about any difficulties, what are the problems? Give me a
Speaker 1: full report.
Speaker 7: Absolutely well, right now, we're right at about a nineteen
Speaker 7: percent turnout for this election. That includes those that are
Speaker 7: voting today and those that voted early. In person are
Speaker 7: by now, so we're sitting at about nineteen percent. At
Speaker 7: the Board of Elections, we were predicting an overall twenty
Speaker 7: five percent turnout. So it's looked like we're how are
Speaker 7: you going to hit our mark?
Speaker 1: Isn't it say they have a twenty five percent turnout?
Speaker 1: So you're saying sherry pulland that seventy five percent of
Speaker 1: registered voters are not likely to vote.
Speaker 7: That's correct. Unfortunately, that is a typical for this type
Speaker 7: of an election, and an odd numbered year election where
Speaker 7: we're electing.
Speaker 4: Our local officials.
Speaker 7: For some reason, we have this lower turnout than compared
Speaker 7: to what we see in a presidential or a midterm.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, what was the percentage turnout when
Speaker 1: Trump and Harris Ram plus the other issues, what was
Speaker 1: the turnout then?
Speaker 3: Yes, about two percent?
Speaker 4: Yeah, about seventy two.
Speaker 1: So it goes from seventy two percent down to maybe
Speaker 1: twenty five percent. You're like an American, why is that?
Speaker 1: Because normally local issues are more important to me than
Speaker 1: national issues. I want to have the right people in
Speaker 1: charge of the schools, of city, council, of township trustees.
Speaker 1: I want local you know, all politics is local. Can
Speaker 1: you tell us why that's not the case, because twenty
Speaker 1: five percent, that's like almost fifty percent. Let's let's kind
Speaker 1: of say it isn't it?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wish I knew the reason behind it. We
Speaker 7: do see that many times, issues like statewide controversial issues
Speaker 7: bring voter turnout up. But this is typical for an
Speaker 7: audior and you know it's it's as you mentioned, it's
Speaker 7: so important. These are our local elected officials. They have
Speaker 7: a great impact on our everyday lives. But it's also
Speaker 7: the smaller the districts of the contest are very small,
Speaker 7: so you know, your voice means even more with that
Speaker 7: smaller turnout and the smaller districts, you know, one or
Speaker 7: two votes could could you know, determine the outcome of
Speaker 7: an election. So there's still plenty of time to get
Speaker 7: out and vote, make your voice heard.
Speaker 1: Erry Poland when I had on frankle Rosa about two
Speaker 1: hours ago, he said, they have a they will always
Speaker 1: have a handful of races that are literally tied and
Speaker 1: it's determined by a coin flip. Have you ever flipped
Speaker 1: a coin to determine the outcome of an election? Who
Speaker 1: does that?
Speaker 7: Yes, we have had that happen in Hamilton County. Our
Speaker 7: board members will do that. You know, we're governed by
Speaker 7: a four person board, tour members of the local Democratic
Speaker 7: Party and tour members of the local Republican Party.
Speaker 3: Where we have.
Speaker 7: Seen ties before in halto a large county. We see
Speaker 7: it in very very small races. It's something called precinct
Speaker 7: executive races. Those are political party races where they elect
Speaker 7: a representative for their party in that precinct. So you're
Speaker 7: talking very small district, just one one precinct. That is
Speaker 7: when we've seen ties and our board flips the coin
Speaker 7: in public session, in a public meeting, and then there's
Speaker 7: a declared winner.
Speaker 4: After we flip the coin.
Speaker 7: And then we do a recount. We do a recount
Speaker 7: to make sure it actually truly was a tie.
Speaker 1: What kind of coin do you flip? Is like a quarter,
Speaker 1: a diamond, nickel?
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 7: We used to use, you know, maybe whatever was in
Speaker 7: the chairman's pocket, if it was a quarter or whatever.
Speaker 7: In recent years, I have a coin that I was
Speaker 7: given by the United States Elections Assistant Commission for a
Speaker 7: session that I participated in, and so we kind of
Speaker 7: made that official recount coin given to us by that
Speaker 7: important commission, So we use that.
Speaker 1: Now, Sherry Poland when I had a friend who would
Speaker 1: flip a coin, he caught it in one of his hands,
Speaker 1: and he could flip the coin one way or another
Speaker 1: based upon what he wanted it to be. So when
Speaker 1: whoever flips the coin, say it's Alex t or the
Speaker 1: chair of the Democrat, they flip the coin, does the
Speaker 1: guy catch it in his hand or does he let
Speaker 1: it fall to the floor.
Speaker 7: They let it fall to the floor.
Speaker 1: And there's any magnets involved? Could you have a magnet
Speaker 1: below that it goes tails and it flips overheads. Are
Speaker 1: you aware there could be that guy. I've watched some
Speaker 1: of this magic act where women's legs are cut off.
Speaker 1: So when you flip the coin, you make sure there's
Speaker 1: no magnets involved, no slot of hand, none of that
Speaker 1: stuff that's.
Speaker 7: Correct, none of that stuff. It's done in a public session,
Speaker 7: so anyone can come to the board and watch the
Speaker 7: coin flip, examine the coin before and after.
Speaker 1: Do you have any questions for me about sports, politics,
Speaker 1: world capitals, the fluvial processes, si geam morphology, something that's
Speaker 1: confused you over the years. You have all the answers.
Speaker 1: How about asking me a question.
Speaker 7: To be for this selection? Say that again, what do
Speaker 7: you think the turnout is going to be for the selection?
Speaker 4: You think it's going to stick to the t.
Speaker 1: No, I'm willing to bet you a hot fud Sunday.
Speaker 1: It's close to thirty percent and twenty five percent. You
Speaker 1: want to bet a greater's hot fudg Sunday.
Speaker 7: I'm not a betting person.
Speaker 1: You're saying twenty you will. You'll be held to account
Speaker 1: for this twenty five percent turnout. And the polls are
Speaker 1: open until win got about five and a half hours
Speaker 1: ago with Sherry Polland you run the best board of elections.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Democrats and Republicans all keeping out on everybody,
Speaker 1: but nonetheless you need functional administrators and managers, and that's you.
Speaker 1: And they all respect you for what you've done for
Speaker 1: that board. And Sherry Polland thanks for coming on the
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham Show, and Sheery you're a great American. Thank you,
Speaker 1: God God bless America. Let's continue with more and coming
Speaker 1: up later. We scheduled Linda Matthews see if she can
Speaker 1: make it, and more plus more trades. We have until
Speaker 1: four o'clock today, there's rumors that Duke Tobin may be
Speaker 1: released as the general manager, director or player of personnel
Speaker 1: by the Bengals. We'll see what happens with that. Plus
Speaker 1: possibly Hendrickson will be traded, but we'll see. By four o'clock.
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham seven hundred Wow. Bill Cunningham, the Great America.
Speaker 1: Of course, this election is the most consequential in the
Speaker 1: city maybe in the past twenty seven to twenty nine years,
Speaker 1: because the direction of council is the wrong direction to
Speaker 1: take for the city. We're gonna end up like Chicago
Speaker 1: or Portland, Oregon, for God's sakes, unless there's change in reform.
Speaker 1: One of the candidates that I would vote for if
Speaker 1: I could, one of the four or five, is Linda Matthews.
Speaker 1: She's on Avonel Community Council and she has put herself
Speaker 1: out there saying we can't live like this. Linda Matthews,
Speaker 1: welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. In this election
Speaker 1: day afternoon, about five hours remain, and what is your
Speaker 1: pitch to the voters who say we have to have reform,
Speaker 1: we have to improve, what is your pitch?
Speaker 4: My pitch is that we need safe communities right now
Speaker 4: we're in the terrible condition. Even over the weekend, we've
Speaker 4: had a lot of shootings and killings. So this mayor
Speaker 4: and council has to go. And I'm your city council
Speaker 4: woman that has just common sense and we need change
Speaker 4: in leadership here in Cincinnati. We cannot end up like Chicago.
Speaker 4: So people get out and vote and vote for Linda
Speaker 4: Matthews because we need change.
Speaker 1: You know, I just had on Sherry Poland and she
Speaker 1: predicted thus far there's been a nineteen percent turnout. That
Speaker 1: means eighty one percent of not voted, and she predicts
Speaker 1: no more than twenty five percent. That means seventy five
Speaker 1: percent of city registered voters are not going to vote.
Speaker 1: If and on top of that those adult's not even registered,
Speaker 1: about ten percent of the voters of Cincinnati will determine
Speaker 1: the election. And that said that we have so far
Speaker 1: people voting today.
Speaker 4: That's really really sad and disappointing. Because of the conditions
Speaker 4: that we're living in at this point in time, everyone
Speaker 4: should be concerned and out voting for new leadership. So
Speaker 4: it's really sad to hear those numbers.
Speaker 1: And when you're out there working the polls this afternoon,
Speaker 1: what are you hearing from voters? Their major concerns are.
Speaker 4: The major concerns is safety. Everybody's concerned about safety. They're
Speaker 4: tired of all the killing, the murder and mayhem. They're
Speaker 4: tired of the leadership not hearing about in the community,
Speaker 4: talking about development, pohos. All kinds of concerns, but mainly
Speaker 4: the main one is safety.
Speaker 1: And might ask why is an African American female are
Speaker 1: you running as a Republican and not a Democrat? What
Speaker 1: is there about the Republican Party, which is the traditional
Speaker 1: home of African Americans, have been the Republican Party from
Speaker 1: eighteen sixty five and Hill about nineteen thirty two. What
Speaker 1: about a sixty year period? But why are you running
Speaker 1: as a Republican?
Speaker 4: Because the Republican Party line up with my values. We
Speaker 4: believe in family, we believe in mariage between a man
Speaker 4: and a woman, we believe in safe cities. And those
Speaker 4: are my values, those are my Christian values. And so
Speaker 4: I decided that I was going to be a Republican.
Speaker 4: And I've been a Republican for many, many years, and
Speaker 4: I'm not going to change. No.
Speaker 1: In fact, I think it's happening. They're stirring in the
Speaker 1: black community that says we don't have to live like this,
Speaker 1: and that we're constantly voting for the same characters in
Speaker 1: the same party without consequences or without improvement, and to
Speaker 1: have the mayor run on a platform of well, I'm
Speaker 1: going to use computers to find out where the snow
Speaker 1: trucks are. I don't know if that's a big enough
Speaker 1: issue to run on. But the most important issue is
Speaker 1: the blood running in the streets, open air drug use, homelessness,
Speaker 1: in the fact that Corporate America is getting the hell
Speaker 1: out of Cincinnati, and that should scare everyone. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine a city of Cincinnati without Kroger, without Fifth Third Bank,
Speaker 1: without Procter and Gamble. That's a problem, right because that's
Speaker 1: the tax base. That's the tax base now.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: Also, when it comes to Chief Thiji, she was I
Speaker 1: used the term discharge or fire, just called administrative leave
Speaker 1: with payment. That the mayor says it will take months
Speaker 1: and months and months to determine why I did something,
Speaker 1: and he wants to hire a law firm to determine
Speaker 1: why he did something. Frost Brown, which is a fine
Speaker 1: law firm. I love lawyers, and he's going to pay
Speaker 1: forty thousand or more of the city money to have
Speaker 1: them research and discover and disclose why I did something.
Speaker 1: Have you heard anything more absurd than that?
Speaker 4: I have not. I mean, this is another example of
Speaker 4: poor leadership, poor planning, poor follow through, and waste in
Speaker 4: taxpayers money. And I think people should be good and
Speaker 4: tired of it. It's just ridiculous. They did it with
Speaker 4: the fire chief. Look how much they had to pay him.
Speaker 4: Now you're spending forty million dollars on a legal representation
Speaker 4: when you should have went through the processes correctly from
Speaker 4: the beginning. So it's just another example of poor leadership
Speaker 4: by our mayor as well as that fitty manager. They
Speaker 4: they all need to go and hopefully today that is
Speaker 4: the voters will decide that enough, that's enough.
Speaker 1: Linda Matthews, do you get pushback from African Americans for
Speaker 1: running on conservative values as a Republican? Do you get
Speaker 1: pushed back in your neighborhood there and Evandale?
Speaker 4: I get some pushback, but most people here know that
Speaker 4: I am and I'm from Avondale. I'm not going anywhere,
Speaker 4: been here all my life, and they believe in some
Speaker 4: of the things that I say, and believe it or not,
Speaker 4: Avondale is mostly Democrats. What they wanted Linda Matthews as
Speaker 4: their vice president. So they believe in my values, they
Speaker 4: believe in what I've send for and they respect that.
Speaker 4: And so hopefully everybody will show up and vote for
Speaker 4: me today.
Speaker 1: Oh, they only have about five hours left. The polls
Speaker 1: close at seven point thirty. And I think it's said,
Speaker 1: with all the difficulties of the city of Cincinnati, the
Speaker 1: great majority of the voters that are registered, much less
Speaker 1: others not even registered to vote, are not going to vote.
Speaker 1: So that means if it's a twenty five percent turnout,
Speaker 1: that means thirteen percent of registered voters will determine the
Speaker 1: direction of the city. And thirteen percent And that's why
Speaker 1: each vote's terribly important, correct.
Speaker 4: Very very important, and people please get out and vote.
Speaker 4: Don't take this election lightly because we cannot have another
Speaker 4: four years of what we just came out of with
Speaker 4: Biden inherits and then we're moving into with this mayor
Speaker 4: we have and this city manager. It's just been terrible
Speaker 4: here in Cincinnati. You know, safety Eagles Capital. When you
Speaker 4: don't have safe communities, people don't want to bring their
Speaker 4: businesses into downtown Cincinnati or any other community because of
Speaker 4: the safety issue. And you know, capital means they're going
Speaker 4: to invest and they're going to create jobs. And if
Speaker 4: we can't have jobs, then we're gonna end up looking
Speaker 4: like other cities. And we can't. We've there's been too
Speaker 4: much investments downtown Cincinnati for this to continue. And the
Speaker 4: only way we're going to break this craziness is to
Speaker 4: have new leadership. That's the only way we're going to
Speaker 4: get up out of there. And I asked everybody to
Speaker 4: please get up and go vote today.
Speaker 1: Well, it just concerns me so few people are voting.
Speaker 1: Of course that could be a positive, could be a
Speaker 1: positive in a sense. Lynda Matthews, we have to run,
Speaker 1: but thanks for your call, and let's see what happens
Speaker 1: down the road. But you got about five more hours
Speaker 1: to vote. Let's get it. Linda Matthews, thanks for coming
Speaker 1: on the Bill Cunningham Show. Lennon, thank you very much.
Speaker 4: Thanks you, Bill.
Speaker 1: I thought let's continue with more. You know, sometimes in
Speaker 1: a way of election that large numbers of people come out.
Speaker 1: Other times in the wave of elections, few people vote
Speaker 1: because they're unhappy, and many times it occurs to me
Speaker 1: that you don't vote because you're happy with the way
Speaker 1: things are. We don't have good polling in the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati because it is too small. But I would imagine,
Speaker 1: I would believe that if the polling was done, it's
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati going in the right direction. I
Speaker 1: bet eighty percent of Cincinnatians would say, no, we're going
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction. Whether it's Hyde Park or Oakley,
Speaker 1: or Avondale or Price Hill or the Central Business District
Speaker 1: or Downtown, we're going in the wrong direction. And So
Speaker 1: even though I don't have a dog in this hunt,
Speaker 1: because I'm not I don't live in the City of
Speaker 1: Cincinnati anymore. But if I did, Linda Matte and Steve
Speaker 1: Gooden and Chris Smitherman and leakeda Cole and Don Dreehouse
Speaker 1: of the five or six, I would vote for And
Speaker 1: it makes sense to me not to vote for nine.
Speaker 1: Vote for the five or six that you consider best
Speaker 1: representing your values. And the values of Lynda Matthews, vice
Speaker 1: president of the Avenuel Community Council are the values of
Speaker 1: most African Americans. They've been conditioned to accept the D
Speaker 1: as opposed to the R because their leaders tell them
Speaker 1: what to do. Your leaders have misled you. This is
Speaker 1: not the course, the right course that we should be on.
Speaker 1: So let's continue with more. Coming up later will be
Speaker 1: the news and more trades, hopefully with the Bengals. There
Speaker 1: is a reporter course about Duke Tobin, who's been there
Speaker 1: for twenty five years from Florio about impossibly being released
Speaker 1: today or tomorrow. But I'll like to see more action
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, impossibly on the ends, because right
Speaker 1: now we're in a crisis. So let's continue with more.
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham News Next. You're home of the Reds and
Speaker 1: the Bengals, the Bearcats and the Muskies, News Radio seven
Speaker 1: hundred out of you.
Speaker 8: We get criticized for that because we run with a
Speaker 8: lighter crew than some other teams do, but I don't.
Speaker 1: Know that we do badly there.
Speaker 8: We picked up Reggie Nelson this year. That's a pretty
Speaker 8: good acquisition. Really. The year before we picked up the
Speaker 8: fullback from Rutgers, the young kid Leonard, and he helped
Speaker 8: us a lot. We have people up there who are
Speaker 8: attuned to this stuff. Duke Tobin is on top of
Speaker 8: it very very thoroughly. Today, with the communications you have,
Speaker 8: you can talk to people anytime anywhere in this country,
Speaker 8: and we do. You don't have to have a guy
Speaker 8: sitting in an office doing just that. You can carry
Speaker 8: this information with you as you travel and then communicate
Speaker 8: when it's necessary, and that's what we do. I don't
Speaker 8: think it works badly. I think it works all right.
Speaker 1: Hello, quiet and skulls. I'm broadcasting. I'll say to use
Speaker 1: a political term when Mike Brown want to revise and
Speaker 1: extend his remarks on working well, especially on the defense segment.
Speaker 1: Your reaction because there's telephone service today segment that we
Speaker 1: can call people anywhere in the world and they pick up.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So maybe we don't need
Speaker 1: any scouting at all. What about your buddy too, before
Speaker 1: we get into I think I think you need scouting scouting? Well,
Speaker 1: was there a game about ninety miles up the up
Speaker 1: the road here with Ohio State and Penn State. Twenty
Speaker 1: one teams had scouts there before and after the game,
Speaker 1: talking to people, gathering information, talking to coaches on Saturday
Speaker 1: and Sunday and Monday getting ready? Are what about this player?
Speaker 1: And nobody from the Bengals was present. Now would it
Speaker 1: be helpful to talk to the coaches and managers of
Speaker 1: the team and said, how does that left tackle? What
Speaker 1: kind of person is he? When does he come to work?
Speaker 1: When is he leave? What kind of kid? Is each?
Speaker 1: Kind of a student? Is he a leader on the team?
Speaker 1: Is he vociferous? Is he quiet? It wouldn't it be
Speaker 1: interesting if you had that information upon which you could
Speaker 1: cast an inform ballot or a draft choice. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Willie the Stuard reporters of proud service
Speaker 1: of your local Tamestar Heating and air conditioning dealers, Tamestar
Speaker 1: quality you could feel in beautiful Western hills called Durban
Speaker 1: Heating and Cooling at five one three, five nine eighty
Speaker 1: four forty nine, or go to Derbinheating and Cooling dot com.
Speaker 1: Say can I say something personal? Go right ahead, Jim Stott,
Speaker 1: Mike McConnell, Yeah, Gary Burbank, Trumpy Collinsworth, Furman, Me and
Speaker 1: the truck and Bozo. In my view, you belong in
Speaker 1: that group. Well, thank you. Okay, that's a heavyweight lineup
Speaker 1: it we had. Well, you're kind of a clown and
Speaker 1: kind of a full half the time. Yeah, but your
Speaker 1: presence over the mere forty three years I've been here
Speaker 1: have been important and I appreciate it. Thank you all.
Speaker 1: I'm Todd of ripping on you all the time. Bengals.
Speaker 1: Bengals Update brought you by Good Spirits and Party Town
Speaker 1: with thirteen locations in northern Kentucky. Bengals today trading linebacker
Speaker 1: Logan Wilson to the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh round pick.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you about Logan Wilson? Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1: He was a deer Park where you go. A couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, a friend of her friend said, you know,
Speaker 1: Logan Wilson would be more than willing to come to
Speaker 1: Deer Park High School, which has a Levey up that
Speaker 1: must pass by the way, and speak to the deer
Speaker 1: Park faithful about the Bengals and about the interception he's
Speaker 1: had in this game or that game, the phantom pass
Speaker 1: interference called the Super Bowl. And I sat with him
Speaker 1: his wife for a couple hours, a lovely young woman,
Speaker 1: a normal guy, not very big on MDAD, not a
Speaker 1: big person, out of Wyoming, the home of the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Now he's a cowboy. Well, he went from Wyoming Cowboys
Speaker 1: to the Bengals. Now is a cowboy. I liked Logan Wilson.
Speaker 1: Please continue, also, Willie, let's see the blockbuster of the
Speaker 1: day is Jets corner and former UC standout Sauce Gardner
Speaker 1: the fine corner with the New York Football Jets. He's
Speaker 1: headed to the seven and two Indianapolis Colts for two
Speaker 1: first round draft picks from the bottom to the top.
Speaker 1: That's correct. Now, the Jets also have dealt three time
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinn Williams to the Cowboys for picks. Now,
Speaker 1: get this, the New York Jets next year in the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six draft, we'll have two first round picks.
Speaker 1: Is that three? And two second round picks? Is that three?
Speaker 1: Because how many picks do? They got their own pick? Right?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: Then? We got two? More right? Two?
Speaker 6: Three?
Speaker 1: I think that's three and twenty twenty seven, they'll have
Speaker 1: three first round picks picks plus one and they beat
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Correct your comments on that one. College football tonight,
Speaker 1: let's see it's the Battle of the Bricks and Beautiful
Speaker 1: Athens as the Miami RedHawks, leaders of the MAC, take
Speaker 1: on Ohio U. Game time is seven pm. The RedHawks
Speaker 1: are riding a five game win streak. College basketball Nichols
Speaker 1: and ninth grade at Kentucky Tonight at Reparina seven o'clock
Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty. Nichols. Also Evansville meets number one per Due.
Speaker 1: Where was Terry Nelson last night on the UC broadcast
Speaker 1: that I monitor? He had a medical procedure the day
Speaker 1: before and could not do the game. I am told
Speaker 1: it was a minor procedure. He'll be back very soon.
Speaker 1: I like Terry Nelson. He'll be back Friday night. Good
Speaker 1: Red's update. Red President of Baseball Operations Nick Crawl today
Speaker 1: announced the signing of a free agent who isn't from Middletown,
Speaker 1: a leftenant innter right handed pitcher, Keegan Thompson. It's a
Speaker 1: one year major league contract through twenty twenty six. Is
Speaker 1: the trade season open right now. He's a former Chicago
Speaker 1: Cub starter and they can sign him because he was
Speaker 1: in the minor league. So he's not his you know
Speaker 1: what's his name, Keegan Thompson. He's a pitcher. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: need a slugger in the middle of the lineup. I
Speaker 1: don't like a Russ Megelson the Dare Party. I need
Speaker 1: a slugger. They can't sign Everybolson let's see what else, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody, how about signing somebody? Terry Francota is
Speaker 1: a finalist for the National League Manager of the Year Award.
Speaker 1: He deserves it. Kyle Schwarber is a finalist for the
Speaker 1: MVP Award along with shoey Otani and Juan Soto. Who
Speaker 1: thinks should get it? I think? Well, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Who do you think is are
Speaker 1: gonna get it? Show you see this is this is
Speaker 1: all you know, this is all pre World Series that
Speaker 1: was the greatest, the most exciting World Series I've seen
Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy six. I don't know. It could be.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That'll be interesting to see because my
Speaker 1: vote would go to Kyle Schwarber, but I'm I'm biased
Speaker 1: because he's from Middletown. Correct, what if the red sign
Speaker 1: al Swarber with the money save with Martinez, et cetera.
Speaker 1: If they signed Kyle Schwarber, I will drive him to
Speaker 1: the ballpark every night and drive him home. He lives
Speaker 1: right by you, right, Bingo. Payroll will be the same,
Speaker 1: which is good. They have a lot of free money,
Speaker 1: right right? What's payroll? Martinez? Nick Martin twenty one million?
Speaker 1: But Martinez is gone because he's he's now a free agent.
Speaker 1: They're not going to bring him back. What's the payroll
Speaker 1: this year? Segment? Was it like one and something like that?
Speaker 1: There wasn't one point three billion for four pitchers? No,
Speaker 1: No one nineteen so one and you add up all
Speaker 1: the players they're gonna let go because they either stink
Speaker 1: I don't want to sign him, right? Why not? Should
Speaker 1: you trade Hunter Green only their hairdresser nose? For sure?
Speaker 1: We don't need starting pitching by the way, No, we
Speaker 1: don't need much relief pitching a little bit. But by wait, batters,
Speaker 1: how about this? The Transportation Secretary warns that airspace and
Speaker 1: parts of the United States may need to close if
Speaker 1: the government shutdown continues in the next week. Why did
Speaker 1: the Democrats shut down the government then complain about Trump?
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, Dick Cheney died. Now you
Speaker 1: won't be able to fly any place. Dick Cheney dies.
Speaker 1: They use that as a cudgel against Donald Trump. And
Speaker 1: what about what Dick Cheney did fault? Oh, he opposed
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. So the whole CNN story was not about
Speaker 1: Dick Cheney, who I think did allows the job as
Speaker 1: Vice President instructing Bush forty three on the Iraqi War awful, terrible,
Speaker 1: wrong and lost. But nonetheless, deal with Dick Cheney, what
Speaker 1: he did with the Ford administration, what he did with Reagan,
Speaker 1: what he did with Bush forty one, Bush forty two. Yes,
Speaker 1: they use that as a hammer to beat up on
Speaker 1: Donald Trump when Dick Cheney dies. That is ridiculous. Please continue.
Speaker 1: You got me angry right now? Yeah? Nothing else? What
Speaker 1: do you mean you got nothing else? What about saus Gardner?
Speaker 1: You forgot about him? I mentioned him? You did? What
Speaker 1: about Kyle Schwarber? Thanks for listening him too? Yes, well
Speaker 1: we got about what another hour and fourteen? He did?
Speaker 1: He did that going to the Jets? Jets? What cow boys?
Speaker 1: What about Myers? You got everybody? He's going someplace. He's going,
Speaker 1: so I don't know worries he's going Jacksonville to some place.
Speaker 1: All I care about the the Bengals, if they can
Speaker 1: get maybe a good rushing tight end. It's four o'clock.
Speaker 1: They got about another hour to go. He may not
Speaker 1: play again, right Hendrickson, Who knows? I don't know. Who knows?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I want the Bengals three and six.
Speaker 1: But how about that. Well, I guess if the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys are on their break. I think this week with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Evan McPherson said today for the Channel five
Speaker 1: that both of their families are going to Disney World.
Speaker 1: Don't keep going. I would think that Logan Wilson would
Speaker 1: probably be in the big mon might want a good
Speaker 1: say hey guy the Walt d how you looking. I mean,
Speaker 1: he might be in the second happiest place on earth.
Speaker 1: He went from the thirty first, He went from thirty
Speaker 1: two to thirty one, and the worst defenses in the league.
Speaker 1: At least the Bengals were setting records. Look at it
Speaker 1: that way, that's true. Tom Brady closing dog, late dog
Speaker 1: that welcomes Juni into the family, sick from two years?
Speaker 1: Would you clone your pet? Would you clone your dog?
Speaker 1: Bring him back for more? One? At what eighty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a dog? Yeah, I get a loan. He makes
Speaker 1: Fifth Third Bank, the only bank you'll ever need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love it. Give me a loon. But Zuomi and
Speaker 1: Zuomi and emm Are have been they were cremated. How
Speaker 1: about this? Since his retirement, Tom Brady, the Patriots legend,
Speaker 1: has dabbled in everything as an entrepreneur struggling a bit
Speaker 1: as a Las Vegas Raiders owner. He also owns part
Speaker 1: of the Birmingham City FC team while collecting a nice
Speaker 1: steady paycheck. I think he signed with sports for like
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars. He also it's a product. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Three hundred and seventy five million over ten years makes
Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half million dollars. And uh, who's that?
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow did his own makeup and he was the
Speaker 1: joker for Halloween? Did he do trick or treating in
Speaker 1: Anderson Township? Went to Joe Burrow? There's a mess. I
Speaker 1: can't even identify him. That's him. Yeah, did you go
Speaker 1: trick or treating? Seg No, you want to hand it
Speaker 1: out candy? Then you go as the Xavier Blue Blob
Speaker 1: one year, No, I didn't, No, not that one. No,
Speaker 1: that one. It was another year. He's forty eight years old.
Speaker 1: He's an avid lover of animals and he wants to
Speaker 1: clone his dogs in perpetuity. Oh hell, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess whatever whatever happens any more trade segment with
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson that I know of, will you right right
Speaker 1: up to the minute here and nothing nothing going on
Speaker 1: yet and the National Football you mentioned an hour ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah that uh. Reports out of Fox Sports that Evan
Speaker 1: McPherson claims he used the G ball instead of the
Speaker 1: K ball to kick the field goal. All the balls
Speaker 1: are special, as you know, if you're a kicker, you
Speaker 1: want the K ball, which is uh shall we say,
Speaker 1: inflated Tom Brady style inflated up. Well, the G ball
Speaker 1: the game ball, so quarterbacks and Griffin a little better,
Speaker 1: is is inflated down? Unbelievable and so Evan McPherson said
Speaker 1: that if those three Bengal defenders surrounding the number eighty
Speaker 1: four of the Bears had actually tackled him on the
Speaker 1: thirty yard line and the Bengals would not call a
Speaker 1: time out, I hope they wouldn't. To get the field
Speaker 1: goal team on, they had to use the G ball,
Speaker 1: which is the game ball, and not the K ball.
Speaker 1: Because the reason Evan McPherson used the K ball, no
Speaker 1: timeout was called and which chased the ball was still
Speaker 1: there and the officials don't switch out the balls to
Speaker 1: be kicked if it's a field goal the clock is running,
Speaker 1: so little things like that determine the outcome of games.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You repeat that one more time.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I can okay, because haven't McPherson is
Speaker 1: a good wash? Are between the K ball and the
Speaker 1: G ball and the whatever ball? By the way, I
Speaker 1: also have a picture here. I may put this on
Speaker 1: my account. This is Joe Burrow, sent to me by
Speaker 1: a police officer friend of mine, wearing a dress during
Speaker 1: a New York fashion show. He was on the runway
Speaker 1: dressing as a woman. He was. He was at the
Speaker 1: Dell High skirt game. That's why. What is that Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow in a dress? I don't know. You should know
Speaker 1: what I don't know. I don't even I haven't even
Speaker 1: met him yet. Oh oh, there's another trade we got action. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but actually he looks pretty good. He
Speaker 1: looks good as a joker too, doesn't he? Yeah? Does
Speaker 1: Rocky Boyman know about I'm going to send this to
Speaker 1: Rocky with your permission. Anymore? What do you got there? Nothing?
Speaker 1: Got nothing?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 1: Segment, give me out of the stairs report, please, will
Speaker 1: you and utter of a nice day here in the
Speaker 1: tri State and go vote. No, Wait a minute, if
Speaker 1: you're a dumb ass, don't vote. Do you want people
Speaker 1: to vote that don't know what they're doing? We leave
Speaker 1: you with the immortal words of the stud report. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens, won't we? And I don't mean
Speaker 1: to to mean people that don't vote. Number one, you
Speaker 1: may not vote because you're satisfied with the way things are.
Speaker 1: Or number two, you may be so unconcerned with the
Speaker 1: elective office of those who hold them. That's not your
Speaker 1: main year of life. I don't want somebody to go
Speaker 1: vote who has no clue what they're doing. It cast
Speaker 1: the ballot and validates the ballot of someone who cares
Speaker 1: about a candidate or an issue. So if you're a
Speaker 1: dumb ass, don't vote. In fact, I'm a dumb ass myself.
Speaker 1: There are many things in life I know nothing about.
Speaker 1: So what I operate on someone's eye because I want to? No,
Speaker 1: no are you got to get got to go online
Speaker 1: votohio dot org. Find out what the issues are in
Speaker 1: your little district or your township or city. Find out
Speaker 1: who the candidates are. If you're voting four, Levey like
Speaker 1: you should vote for the Deer Park Community Schools. But
Speaker 1: as we're doing great work in deer Park. One of
Speaker 1: the top ten districts in this Hambleton County is deer Park.
Speaker 1: The teacher student ratio is great, They're passing all the tests.
Speaker 1: They have good sports teams. We're gonna start playing Middletown
Speaker 1: to get more confidence. I'm telling you right now, segment,
Speaker 1: this is a special time to be involved in the process.
