WEBVTT - 11-4-25 Bill Cunningham Show 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.280 By Billy Cunningham, the Great America. Of course, this is 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.879 election today, election afternoon. Yours truly intends on voting about 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:14.760 three to four o'clock. Not much on the ballot, but 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.720 I will do my constitutional duty to vote, joining you, 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:19.640 and I now is the man in charge of elections 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.600 in the state of Ohio. Frank LaRose, the second cousin 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.640 of Buddy L. Rosa. Franklrosa, Welcome again to the Bill 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:30.040 Cunningham Show. And as we sit here early on Tuesday afternoon, 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.640 any problems, any difficulties, how are we looking? 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.840 But it's an important election. Not everybody necessarily is paying 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.519 attention to that, but these are votes that can have 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.080 a big impact on your community, quality of life and 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.479 that kind of thing. And so you should get out 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.519 and make your voice heard. You're not going to impact 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.040 any lines or that kind of thing. You'll get a 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:53.760 sticker on your way out the door. 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:54.880 Here's another thing, Willie. 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.040 I run into people that say I'm not going to 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:00.000 vote in this local election because I don't know enough 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.800 I don't want to guess right, Okay, that's not a 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:03.440 good excuse. 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.559 You go to our website vote Ohio dot gov. 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.479 You can cheat on the test, you can look at 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.000 exactly what's going to be on your ballot. 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:10.679 This is what Lauren and I did last night. We 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:11.640 put the kids to bed. 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.880 I printed off what's called the sample ballot, where we 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.760 saw exactly what's going to be on our ballot, and 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.440 we sat there as a couple and we talked about 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.800 our choices. Now we're ready to go and well informed 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:21.680 and we know what we're doing. 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.080 That makes no sense at all, because I often say 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.840 that if you wake up on Tuesday this morning, and 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.160 you say, is the election this Tuesday or next Tuesday? 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.520 Or has the election already taken place? In other words, 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.280 shall I use the term ill informed? And I know 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.120 the media says you got to vote, you got No, 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.040 you don't have to vote if you don't know what 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.959 you're voting for, if you don't know what the issues are, 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.800 if you don't know the pros and cons of each issue. 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.880 Don't waste your time and cancel the ballot of someone 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:52.720 who's informed. Do you agree or not? 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.880 I think if you do a little bit of research, 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.880 you can cast an informed vote. And give you an example, 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.960 I didn't know which can candidates for city council where 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.960 the conservatives who share my values, because I didn't follow 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:07.720 that all that closely, but I did a little bit 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.519 of research. I saw which ones were endorsed by the 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:15.919 County Republican Party, which ones had taken stances that align 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.320 with the things I care about. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:18.920 And now I'm an informed voter. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.120 And so you know, I think that with a few 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.360 minutes of effort, a little bit of googling, a little 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.679 bit of checking their own website or what the newspaper's 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.919 candidate guide says, or whatever else, you can be an 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.200 informed voter. And it's worth doing because these elections come 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.240 down to a small margin. In many cases, local elections 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.480 can often come down to just a handful of votes. 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:40.639 Hech. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.840 We have tie votes every year somewhere in the state 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.520 that have to be determined by a coin flip. Don't 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.680 be that person that wakes up on Wednesday morning and 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.040 realizes that a Bolshevik has just been elected to your 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.000 school board because you didn't bother to go vote and 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:57.560 it was determined by a single vote. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:02.079 That's that's critical. Yeah, I don't care how busy you are. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.560 You can go online today's world, you can do it. 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.919 Twenty years ago you couldn't do it if you op 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.200 up twenty years ago and said who's running? I don't know, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.400 how do you find? Well, I don't know. But today 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.840 the Encyclopedia Britannica, all the information in the world is 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.560 on my right home. I left it in my hand. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.400 And if you don't take it ten minutes to find 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.520 out who I'm voting for, we get the government we deserve. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:25.040 And that worries me too. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:27.799 Man. Well, consider this. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.400 It's a kind of a tale of two different years. 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.160 If you look at the even number years twenty twenty, 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.680 twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four, it's been absolutely record 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.200 breaking turnout. So this nonsense where the liberals say, I 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.400 want to suppress the vote. If that's my objective, I'm 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.400 really bad at it. We don't want to suppress anything. 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.760 We've had massive turnouts in those even number years. But 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.080 then you go one year later to a year like 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.640 twenty twenty five and it may be single digits or 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.640 low double digits. That's a shame because it matters who 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:56.480 lives in the White House. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:57.080 We all know that. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.560 But what probably matters just as much, maybe more, who 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.160 works at the courthouse or the schoolhouse or city hall. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.800 When it comes to your quality of life, the safety 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.240 of your community. Heck, the schools that our children are 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:11.160 being educated in. 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.080 This year is the year we make those decisions, and 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:15.280 you've got to make your voice heard. 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.080 Frank LeRose, you're making sense. I live in a community 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.279 that's safe and sound with good schools. However, we have 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.359 a race for the Sycamore Township trustees. We have a 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.680 school board race Indian Hill school boards. There's one or 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.880 two school issues. I want to pump up as much 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.120 as I can in Deer Park Community schools for what 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.360 they've done. And so all politics is local. It may 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.240 be great if things are good or bad in New 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.800 York City, but dammit, I live in Sycamore Township. I 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.640 live in Kenwood, and I want my community where I 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.040 live to be the best. And the off year elections 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:48.800 is when we decide those things. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.919 Correct every single election here, I give you a prediction. 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.800 I can tell you who's gonna win today. In any race, 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.400 it's the candidate who gets more of their supporters to 0:04:58.440 --> 0:04:59.920 go after the polls Barnet. 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:01.920 It's always going to be that way. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.599 And so whether you live in a city that Leans 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.839 Republican or Leans Democrat, there's no such thing as a 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.719 long shot race in a local election. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.520 If people just bother to show up. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.320 What percent, Frank Lerosa, you're in charge of elections about, 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.760 give me your crystal ball prediction in the state of 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.760 Ohio overall? What percent of Ohio? When's youre going to 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.039 vote today? If anyone you know. 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.920 Here's why it's really hard to tell, because it's so localized. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.480 You may have one community where there's a really hot 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.840 race for mayor, or people are all hyped up about 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.840 the school board race or the levy or whatever else, 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.560 and you may have massive turnout. The next town over 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.480 it may be a complete sleeper and people aren't really 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.200 all that engaged. So it's hard to tell. I can 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.960 tell you what we've seen already for early voting, about 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.200 four hundred thousand. In fact, the number is three hundred 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.640 and ninety nine and eighteen. That's how many people participated 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:55.960 in early voting. We know that right there in Hamilton County, 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.320 we've had a decent turnout through early. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:02.440 Voting as well. It was the number of early. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.760 Voting ballots count counted nineteen two hundred and twenty nine. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.599 That's how many people voted early in Hamilton county. But 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.640 we also know there's a lot of outstanding absentee ballots. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.719 What does that mean about fifty thousand people throughout the 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.880 state that have requested their absenty ballot and haven't returned 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.279 it yet. And so if you're that guy that has 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.400 your absentee ballots sitting on your kitchen table or sitting 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.599 on the dashboard of your car, it's too late to 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.039 mail it. You can't take it to your voting location. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.120 At this point. You got to get it down to 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.640 your county Board of Elections by seven thirty, and it's 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.560 worth it. Take a drive down to your county Board 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.159 of Elections and submit that ballot so that again you 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.400 can make sure your voice is heard. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.440 Frank LeRose, your deal was a facts ideal with hyperbole. 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.039 Let's say there's twelve million people who live in the 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:49.480 state of Ohio. It is not approximately correct approximately approximately. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.640 I want to hold you do this. How many adults 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.680 eighteen and over eleve in the state of Ohio? Is 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.400 it nine million? Three million kids in school? 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.560 Well near eight point eight point some thing? Because I 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:06.360 know the eligible population of voters in Ohio, we're already 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.599 at like ninety three ninety four percent of them that 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.000 are registered to vote, and we have seven point eight 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.360 million registered voters, so the total number of eligible adults 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.200 over eighteen who are US citizens has to be in 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:18.960 the low eights. 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.160 So let's say there's eight million people that could vote, 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.400 and of that number, about seven point five million are 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.400 register which is fantastic. And then as far as the turnout, 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.880 I talk about Hamleton County or the city of Cincinnati, 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.520 we got major problems. You may know this if down 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.520 the road you become a senator or a congressman, or 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.400 a governor or the president, you're gonna have to deal 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.000 with the city of Cincinnati, which is a complete meltdown. 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.480 And I'm told by Sherry Pulling at the Board of 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.200 Elections that the turnout this year may be as high 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.760 as twenty five percent, And so that means that thirteen 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.880 percent of the registered voters are going to decide the 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.640 outcome of this election. That means eighty seven percent or not. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:00.840 What do you think about that? 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.480 I think that it's problematic. And again, I think part 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.840 of this is that if you flip on your TV 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.840 or you go to your favorite social media account, you're 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.680 going to see all kinds of chatter about every single 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.800 damn thing that happens in Washington, DC. We seem to 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.760 be focused on federal issues. I get why they're impactful, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.920 and people lose track of how important local offices are. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.600 Local government is. And again look at our beloved Queen City. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.520 And again I think you know this. I know and 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.960 love Cincinnati very well. My dad went to UC. I've 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.160 spent a lot of time down there. I was just 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.600 down there knocking on doors for Corey Bowman last weekend 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.680 because I think he's the right man for the job, 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.760 who's finally going to turn this great American city around 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.800 and let it be what it was always meant to be, 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.040 and that is a thriving place where families can live 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.320 and work and raise a family. It's not that right now, 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.320 but you know, we need more people to actually get 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.200 out and make their voices heard. There are more Republicans 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.559 in Hamilton County than almost any other county in the state. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.440 The problem is they're outnumbered. If they actually bother to 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.400 go up and vote today, they could flip the Natty. 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.680 It's a very real possibility that we could put a 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:10.120 Republican in office in the mayor's office in the city 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:14.520 of Cincinnati. What a tremendous thing that would be. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:20.520 Now, secondly, we have a situation. You were on the 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.720 reapportionment board. You were one of the seven to carve 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.640 up the districts. Can you put a period on the sentence? 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.640 Be goes to Democrats? And the Republicans agreed to carve 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.480 up the congressional districts number one to by correct and 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:34.880 number two. What was the goal? 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.280 Yeah, So there was a unanimous and bipartisan vote on 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.800 this in the Redistricting Commission. And I think that when 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.640 you have a vote like that, both sides are going 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.959 to have something they like something they don't like about it. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:50.640 I don't think anybody loves the process or the way 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.079 that the process plays out, but it was at least 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.480 a result of consensus building and compromising that kind of thing. 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.840 Here's the bottom line. My goal was to go in 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.280 there and make sure that first of all, all we 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:01.599 complied with the Constitution. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:02.960 We did that. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.840 Second of all, that we create districts that relatively mirror 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.560 the political leanings of the state of Ohio. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.440 And again I believe that we did that. 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.959 And then third, putting on my hat as a Republican, 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:16.840 I want to make sure that I'm not putting my 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.080 party in a disadvantage or candidly want to put my 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.240 party in an advantageous position on this, and so let's 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.400 be candidate about this. What we ended up with was 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:31.080 a map that creates twelve Republican districts and three Democratic districts. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.319 Twelve Republican districts and three Democratic districts. The current state 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.800 in Ohio is ten Republican districts and five Democratic districts. 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:45.040 And the challenge that we faced was that if the 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:49.079 legislature had drawn different maps, maybe that created thirteen Republican 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.400 districts instead of twelve, it would have certainly been subject. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.240 To a referendum. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.440 The Ohio Constitution is very clear that the moment the 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.160 leftist dark money groups gather two hundred thousand signatures, it 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.640 would freeze the implementation of the current maps. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:04.920 It would require us. 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.680 To run the twenty twenty sixth election on the old 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.400 maps back to ten to five, and most likely trigger 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.600 us having to run in August special election for congressional primaries. 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.760 All kinds of chaos, all kinds of bad things, something 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:19.720 that was to be avoided. 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.080 And I look at Greg Lansman's district that appears to 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.120 be like a plus six Republican. But I look at 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.760 some of the recent voting in that district that's very close. 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.120 Whoever you Republicans pick for that district to run against 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.360 Greg Lansman going to have to be pretty damn good. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.320 He's a good politician, and it's going to be a 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.960 close race, etc. I would add one other thing. 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.240 Man, candidates matter, Party chairs matter. State center is a 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.760 great woman named Diane Cunningham that's on our state Central Committee. 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.480 That'll be involved in that conversation, by the way, But 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.520 finding the right candidate matters, and the party's job is 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.439 to find the right candidate, and that's something has to 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:58.640 happen over the next couple. 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.200 Months, you know, immediate complaining about this. Oh, I asked 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.880 you the question, you may know the answer. There's about 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:09.440 six New England states, that being, if my geography is correct, 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.520 you got Maine, you got Vermont, you have New Hampshire, 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.480 you have Massachusetts, you have Connecticut, you got Rhode Island. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.800 And in those states they're a little bit smaller than 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:23.440 the state of California population wise, those six states how many, 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.520 And those six states voted forty percent for Donald Trump. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.360 So you would think about forty percent of the congressional 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:35.199 districts would be Republican. How many Republican congressmen or congress 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:40.440 women are there in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.439 and Rhode Island. Can you, Frank Lerosa, can you give 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.160 me a round number? How many? 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.040 Yeah, the round number is zero. 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.920 And it's because of Democratic jerryman And by the way, 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.560 when the Democrats do it, it doesn't get called out. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:58.240 When the Republicans do it, every reporter, every leftist journalist 0:12:58.320 --> 0:12:59.800 in the state, in the country wants to talk about. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.560 So here's the other thing that happens. Willy city council 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:07.160 wards get redistricted by Democratic city councils. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.960 In counties that have a county council. 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.000 Form of government, like where I grew up in Summit County, 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.480 in Cuyahoga County, they redraw the county council districts. They 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.439 jerrymander the heck out of that to create a situation 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.199 where it's darn near impossible for a Republican to get 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.840 elected to city council. No problem to the county council, 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:25.240 and nobody ever says a word of it. 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:25.720 No problem. 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:32.080 Yeah, Illinois seventeen districts, fifteen Democrats, two Republicans, and that's 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.040 okay with the media, no problem. We go from there. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.959 But today's going to be a day become informed, then 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.880 go vote. Any difficulties at polling places. I know New Jersey. 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.719 I was on a station this morning, wond and New 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.280 Jersey and they were having the ever having bomb threats 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.160 called in and which is stupid. Is there any problem 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.000 with voting in the state of Ohio at this point? 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.800 Nothing systemic. We've had the small things here and there, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.240 a power outage or you know that kind of thing, 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.680 but nothing systemic or widespread. Of course, our operations team 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.680 is ready to jump on it if there is. And 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.760 by the way, if you see anything that's not right 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.000 at your polling location, the first thing you should do 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.560 is talk to that voting location manager. They are there 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.240 to do that job and they'll correct it under most scenarios. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.000 But we've also got a report line. You can text 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.520 the word report to three four two six two three 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.240 four two sixty two. You text report and then we'll 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:26.960 be on top of it from the Ohio Secretary of 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:27.520 State's office. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.160 You can also message us on our website. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.760 Lastly, give the website of ill informed voters want to 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.560 become more informed and not be a member of the 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.920 board simply a bust to a pole to vote with 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.480 a with a blue or a red ballot. Can you 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.000 tell me again the website that we need to go 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.200 to to become a little bit more informed. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.840 Vote ohio dot gov. That's your place for the right 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.920 kind of ID. What to bring you know for your ID, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.560 what polling location to go to, what's going to. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:55.240 Be on your ballot? 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.880 Really anything you need to be an informed voter anywhere 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:58.800 in the state of Ohio. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:00.440 Vote Ohio dot go. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.400 All right, Frank LaRose three four seven tastes so good. 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.560 You got to get at bad once again. Thanks for 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.920 coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. You can Jerry Manner 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:14.440 for political reasons. You cannot Jerry Manner for racial reasons. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.240 And the reason many of the Democrats are enraged and 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.080 I want to use African American people and voters as 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.160 an excuse to throw out the ballots when they do 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.640 exactly the same thing. But Jered mannering for political reasons 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.080 is good according to US Supreme Court, Jered Manning for 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.360 racial reasons is bad, which did not happen in Ohio. 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.600 You jerry mandered, so to speak for shall I say, 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.480 political reasons and not racial reasons. Frank LaRose, you're a 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.920 great American. Thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:41.240 Thank you. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:43.360 Thanks Willy, get out and vote. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.160 God bless America. Thank you, Frank. Let's continue with more 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.760 the line becomes available five one to three, seven four, nine, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.920 seven thousand. I'll say once again that if you're what 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.920 is it about twelve twenty two in the afternoon on Tuesday, 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.480 if you're ill informed, you won't take ten minutes to 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.040 go online in order to find out what the issues are. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.480 If you have no clue who's running and don't know 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:09.120 what they stand for, and you're politically a dumb ass, 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.320 don't vote because you canceled the ballot of someone who 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:17.520 took the time to become informed. The only way a 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.280 democratic republic works is to have informed voters willing to 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.040 make changes when things are going the wrong direction. And 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.080 if you saimply are given a ballot slapped in your 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.200 hand vote for these candidates, then you're stupid and don't vote. 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.520 And bright people can be stupid about any issue. Hell, 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.840 I'm stupid about a bunch of stuff. I'm not stupid 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.120 about politics. Other issues, I'm very stupid. So if you're 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:43.280 ill informed and you're a dumbass on politics, don't vote. 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.760 Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred w Bill Cunningham, the 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.320 Great American. Of course, the Dreehouse name is well known 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.040 for the last fifty years in the Hamlety County. And 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:54.880 I used to run around with Don dree House the 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.800 dead along with Sako Wathy and Carol Grow and Pam 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.680 Swafford back in the good old days. And one of 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:04.159 Don dree House's children who's mature and tellt himself as 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.960 Don dree House, the older and wiser brother of Denise 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.639 dree House on County Commission. And Don dree House is 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.359 running for city council. Many of the experts say that 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.520 Don dry House has a great chance of getting on 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:18.119 council to change things. And Don dree House Junior, welcome 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.080 to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Don, first of all, 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.639 why are you running for council this year? What is different? 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.359 Well, Bill, you know I actually ran for council thirty 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.880 years ago in nineteen ninety five, and I lived over 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.400 on the West Side in pricesil for over forty years. 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.080 I think it's time for change in this city. I mean, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.000 it just feels like things aren't working properly. I think 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.359 we need to get in on this cliche. But you know, 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.119 back to basics. We need to just do what the 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:45.920 city should do. And I even talked to my brother 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.320 Steve last night and Steve's like, Donnie, He's like, you 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.200 know that they we just need more police on the beat. 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.240 We need to clean the city streets. Yes, the city 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:54.760 should do what the city should do. We need to 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.720 quit forgetting about all this other stuff that's not really 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.760 in their purview, not in there, you know, there shouldn't 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:00.920 be of their agenda. 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:02.119 And I tend to agree with that. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.639 I mean, I'm I'm endorsed by the Charter, and the 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:07.960 Charter's philosophy over one hundred years is just you know, 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.159 let's stick to the city matters and do you know, 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.800 let's get this city to work first before we start 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.840 expanding our horizons and don jury. 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:18.320 How's about law enforcement? According to the standards of fifteen 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.040 years ago, the city police are down about one hundred 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.280 and fifty cops. According to the crimes being committed, and 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.920 it appears to be two hundred cops, and that there's 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:28.880 been efforts to pass year or two to get more 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.560 cops or to have sideway transfers. I don't know why 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.639 somebody would go from Dell High Township or Sharonville, Madaire 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.679 to become a Cincinnati cop. I don't know why they 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.200 would do that. You have to attract them with money. Well, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.800 if you get on council, what's going to be the 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.000 reason that many want to join CPD, which, by the way, 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:50.200 is a tremendously professional police force, is recognized nationally or 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.880 was recognized as the gold standard. And now the chief 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.560 of police more or less is fired because she wouldn't 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:58.199 do what the mayor wanted her to do in the 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.400 city manager. So to getting back to the question on council, 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.639
