1-23-24 Bill Cunningham Show

It's going to happen tomorrow, but we're predicting in fifty years with the climate's going to be that's a different issue completely, But nonetheless, Sharon Coolidge is the great City Hall reporter at the Cincinnati Inchoir, joining us now to talk about the one point six billion, also the I seventy five redesign, also the deck over the top of Fort Washington Way, also the streetcar and more.

Sharon Coolidge, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, tell the American people about the one point six billion, the process that UBS was handling, is going to handle the money when the money comes in, when it goes out, all related matters. Give me a full report. Well, you know, we're on the tail end of the sale

of the Cincinnati Southern Railway. Voters voted to sell the railway in the very next step is the railroad board that oversees the railway is now creating this trust and who's going to manage the trust? And so you know, it's been several meetings so far this year. Everything wait for it, has been done in public related to this very long meetings to choose who's going to manage the Trust Fund, seventeen firms Internet, you know the one that was chosen actually

international. I mean, these from the biggest firms out there that there are to the tiniest firms, you know. Seventeen of them, you know, replied to the RFP and ended up getting narrowed to five, two of them local FEG and Fifth third Bank. But yesterday, so last week they did in the most transparent way, back to back, five interviews, five firms, forty five minutes. You know, they these companies flew people in teams of like four or five six seven people came in and you know, was

relliant, gave a presentation, answered questions. Everyone was free to watch. And so then yesterday they met again and they had a public discussion about who they liked best and the pros and cons of you know what they were all thinking, and they selected UBS, I think probably the largest firm that replied, and they really had what they were looking for. You know, when I look at Fifth third Bank, I thought fit third Bank would have the

inside track because of a local connection plus dominating Fountain Square. We was there some discussion about sticking with a hometown. UBS is a large multinational, multi hundreds of billions of dollars under management. I would have thought fit Third Bank had the inside track. Do you have some insight, sharing Coolidge, as to why that didn't happen? You know, I really did think that they were going to go with a local firm, especially because it's the very first

meeting after the sale was on January eighth. There was a lot of talk about really having a local firm. And that's how the two local selections got on the shortlist because they talked about and I actually I understood kind of some of the thinking that they were talking about. They need. There's going to be a lot of questions and this isn't going to be like a pension fund where no one really is going to not going to be private. First of

all, there's going to be so much scrutiny on this fund. And it's not even going to be like a pension fund, which is all public. But we tend, you know, there, unless they're in crisis, we don't really look. Because this is going to be a payment to the city budget every year going forward, it's going to be constant scrutiny on the amount of money. And so the Railroad Board itself is like we have to oversee

this fund. They realize that they're in the spotlight and how important this trust is and they're like, at any moment if there's a problem or they need to change something. They really said they wanted that, you know, close

knit relationship that's not something like quarterly reported. Here's how we invested your money, because they're going to have questions, especially at the beginning as this kind of all gets off the ground, and they really restressing the importance of having you know, just local down I mean Charlie Luke and I think he put it this way for mayors on the board, you know who's you know, I really want to be able to know whose neck I'm going to strangle.

And everyone kind of laughed and stuff, and you know, it was very charliism to say that. So I was going into the interviews, I was like, it seems like a local firm really had a leg up. But then once you heard the presentations from the local from all the five, you know, it's more than that. And some of these places had offices here, and how hands on there are they going to be, and a lot went into it, like the decision was really made on what are the returns

going to be what are your fees for managing this money? What is the relationship with us going to look like? What is you know, a lot of diversity discussion on how you know your firm does all of that. That was very important to voters and it became a big deal. Uh when it came time to pay, like does this one point six billion dollars of public money? Is it? You know? Also supporting minority communities and city officials. So that was important to them, and the board said that was important

to them. So really, yeah, Pete Whitties, Pete sends me stuff all the time about what a disaster this is going to be. It's awful. I said, look, it's over with, let's move on. I want to bet with him at Price Hill Chili. I said it would pass. He said it wouldn't. Of course, the money was spent all on one side of the table, now on the other side, still didn't pass by a wide margin. I guess the angst might be over the street car that many people believe, like Tony Bender, this money is going to be

used to take the street car. It's going to go up to hill, up to Clift and up to hill, all around and back again, you have great ridership when there's no fees being charged. It's free, so therefore people are going to use it. Is there a concern by some that this is the Campbell's nose under the tent to expand the street which is free, which is costing a fortune, is not going to happen. Get out your crystal ball. I want to talk about the deck over Fort Washington Way I

seventy five redesign, and then the streetcar streetcar. First of all, can some of this money be used for the streetcar to extend it at a great cost with little or no benefits. There's a short answer and a long answer. Give me a shorthort answer. Surely no, But that's not how the city budget works. This money cannot directly be used to I mean, I guess it could, but it's really not going to be. It's really to

fix current infrastructure. I would argue that taking the streetcar anywhere would be new infrastructure. You're building something new. So but I think it's very important to note the city put out a spending plan and let's say, okay, that's loose at best. It's just, you know, this is where we think we should spend the money, you know, over the next ten years. But the key to that memo was one line, which is, we can

only guarantee like it's going to free up all of this money. So the city used to put thirty three million dollars into like the capital budget, and now this money is going to replace all of that. So it's like swapping out money. So of the old money the city is putting. These are kind of rough numbers. I forget exactly what they are off the top of my head. We're roughly this. The city only said we're going to keep putting the three million dollars into the capital budget and then all of the other

money. We're going to have all of this windfall from the railroad, and so they'll still be able to keep doing all these things and do all the things they promised with that money. It's going to free up like thirty million dollars in the city budget that used to go to capital projects. And this council, elected by the people, can then use that money on what they would like to, you know, take public votes and make some decisions and how to spend it in everything. And so that's a lot of money.

This is can do big things that money can then be used to do big things. Is that streetcar expansion there certainly talk about it among council members. Well, I think the best use of the money for my two cents worth is the deck over Fort Washington Way. I can recall like twenty or twenty five years ago that Chas Lucan the first put in a provision to handle the

foundation of the future deck. So if Fort Washington Way will be covered, that would reclaim I would think many dozens of acres of prime real estate for parks of development. What about the deck over Fort Washington Way that Tony Bender travels on every day. I feel like the decking is at this point. There's been press conferences, the mayor talks about it. You know, the money's not all identified, but we're at the phase of it where it seems

like it's a done deal. It's not a done deal, but you know, there's an application into the federal government for a big chunk of the money, and everyone pretty much talks about it. It is the next big project. The mayor when he talks about all the development like the Convention Center district and everything that's kind of happening that way, he talks about the decking. So it really seems like there's the political will to do this. They just

need to really find the money. I feel like that's going to be a subject at the end this year for sure, and I do feel like it's coming, that connectivity to the banks. So it's just a huge separation, and I don't know why it is. And this is my work, you know, right down there, and it needs the decking will finally connect to the downtown, to the banks. So your Crystal Wals is that will happen? Yes, all right. Now, lastly, I want you to step

back a little bit because you've been down there for years and decades. You've seen councils operate for a long long time. There was an opportunity with Liz Keating to have like someone who was a Republican for the other eight in that case, to kind of keep an eye on things. She didn't get a

snow. She finished tenth out of the money, not even close. Ran a pretty good campaign, and I think the Amy Murray's and the Liz Heatings of this world are extremely valuable, especially when it's a one party government and you went through the entire regime of four members of council having been under a criminal scrutiny. I think two have too, are in jail right now, one's on his way Jeff Pastor, and I guess in about a month and

we'll see what happens. Do you have a sense that this city council, which is far left wing compared to other city councils in my viewpoint, understand that they're under more scrutiny because it's a one party government in Hambleton County. I think the only office is the prosecutor, of course, and I think

the county engineer. Other than that, it's all Democrat all the time, and we went through the most tumultuous era in the history of city politics that would have made Charlie P. Taff roll over in his grave with all the money flying around. Do you have a sense that this city council understands that the region considers it to be not up to snuff when it comes to competency. Do you have a sense this as a city council that understands they're under

a lot of scrutiny. No, no, no fee No. I think how they feel is you know that the voters really have spoken and they put forward like the things they want to do, the plans they want to do, And I don't think they see it as scrutiny. I think they see it as really like an overwhelming mandate of the citizens, this is what they would like, and all of their plans and everything, and that they're doing what they said they would do on the campaign trail. I don't think they

see it really as like the spotlight or scrutiny or anything. I think they see it as this is what citizens do you want? Do you see? I have to have pure of all I had. Some Washington sources tell me he's been to Washington repeatedly, maybe Department of Labor if Biden or some Democrat gets reelected. When I think the mayor's position, I think of Mark Mallory.

His family's been here for decades, maybe centuries. Charlie Luken goes back deep into the bowels of city politics, and John Cranleigh spent his whole Family's been here, Jay and Susan for a long time. A Taed Pureval almost came horizontally, as sposed to vertically, from the Dayton area, and he's got visions of going somewhere else. Rox sand Qualls came into office. City council mayor lives here. Almost all the other mayors live here. I don't

think have tab pirival is long for this world. Politically, what does your crystal ball say about him moving on? You know, I think that he definitely does want a political career of some sort. I don't think I'm speaking out of turn by saying that he has said to me repeatedly that he is running for re election. But I do think the path out of Cincinnati is very difficult, and I don't know what that looks like for him. I don't know if he really knows what that looks like for him. There's just

not really a path to state government. It's just Republican controlled and I'm not sure doesn't seem to be a direct line there. So what would be next after you run for mayor? Yeah, and this fall, I would imagine the state of Ohio is going to stay ruby red for as far as the eye can see, and Hamilety County is going to be deep blue for as

far as the I can see. And so if he looks to Columbus as a possible way out of city politics, I don't see that happening in the State of Ohio the way it's now configured, which is why going to Washington would make some sense. As at a department official, I think he would like to be in the cabinet some way and instead of some deputy. But we'll see what happens. We'll continue to follow this. No one does it better than Sharon Coolidge, and I wanted to check with you every few months

to see about the one point six billion and what's happening. And thank you very much once again for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Sharon, thank

you, thank you. Let's continue and if a line becomes available five one, three, seven, four nine, seven thousand pounds seven hundred new eight and t deck over Fort Washington Way, I seventy five redesigned claiming another twenty acres streetcar up to Hell and Moore, and the money's gonna flow pretty greatly, which I'm told will happen despite the protestations of Pete Whitty and many others.

Bill Cunningham, the Home of your reds Pitchers and Catchers report, believe it or not, in about three weeks all A News Radio seven hundred WLW. Meanwhile, in the enchanted forest, there's a fairy godmother. I bet you're gonna see Cinderella. I suppose are you going to make her a beautiful dress for the ball? I don't know what's in it for me, but you're a fairy godmother, and all I do is kids. How about little something for me? Like what? I'd like to listen to Eddie and Rocky.

They're funny. What if you put a radio in her pumpkin carry we could all listen to Eddian Rocky. Excellent idea. Eddie and Rocky give your day a fairy tale ended Eddie and rock this afternoon to three on seven hundred WLW. I always wanted to learn Spanish, but I've never paid Hi. Billy Cunningham, The Great American, twelve thirty seven. The ice storm is sporadic at best, appears to be another overestimation of bad weather. The media

loves doing that. It's interesting to me that they cannot tell us what's going to happen tomorrow or the next day or two days thereafter, but they can tell us that in seventy or seventy five years, what the world's going to look like from a weather perspective. That's called it global warming. I find that impossible. Just follow the money, and the money will tell you the policies that will be implemented when you get paid, and incentivizes more types of

this behavior. We'll see what happens down the road, But nicer days lie ahead. Two or three issues are percolating. Number one, of course, today's the New Hampshire primary, and I spoke to a member of the Trump campaign last night late and extremely confident of about a ten to twelve point victory

over Nicki Helly. And we'll see what happens sometime tonight. We'll know the two of them had pretty good relations until Nicki Haley won after Trump, and of course the Trumpster when he's has a jab thrown his away, he throws a knockout punch. So we'll see what happens politically. But if Nicki Haley gets within ten percentage points, the race might continue to South Carolina in about a month. It's about a four week separation to the Republican primary in February,

which is her home state, which she cannot win. All the polling has the Trumpster up thirty to forty points on Nicki Haley, and those who know her best like her least. So when the hometown is against him. Maybe that's a problem. He's got the entire Republican establishment with him in South Carolina and Nevada which is coming up thereafter, and we'll see what happens.

And the Democrats, of course, being Democrats, are not going to allow Democrats to vote for Joe Biden because there was a real fear he might lose. So the party that runs on democracy and threats to democracy and authoritarianism uses their authority to eliminate democracy in New Hampshire because the Democrats really don't have a choice to vote for or against Biden. So there are some that are doing it right and so to speak, but the Democrats did not want to risk

what would be perceived as a loss in New Hampshire. You might recall that in twenty twenty Biden finished fifth I said, fifth in the New Hampshire primary, not too popular, and then he went on to barely win South Carolina.

They all formed behind him, thinking, okay, orange man bad, we better get somebody who's milk toast that can't campaign to say anything, put him in the basement, used the pandemic as an excuse, and then sign up one hundreds of thousands of brand new voters through Mark Zuckerberg's foundation in four or five states out of college campuses, and away we go. And that's the name of that. So we'll see what occurs. And by the way,

the same thing is happening now. I read in one of the publications that as we speak, they're signing up a large number of college students, those on welfare government list to be able to vote by mail in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, in Wisconsin, in Georgia and Nevada. So the way that game is played that penn State, for example, might have on campus maybe

fifty thousand students. And so there's a coordinator developed at Penn State or University of penn or any other college in Pennsylvania, which is a swing state, and you're paid fifty bucks an hour, which is a boatload of money to a college student to organize your sorority, organize your fraternity, organize your club, organize your dormitory, to get out of the college age population in Pennsylvania,

about one hundred thousand new votes. And because Pennsylvania voting system is much worse, not nearly as good as here in Ohio, because of mail in balloting, no signature check. You can register all these voters, additional voters out of dorms or welfare, unemployment workers, government benefits, and then when the ballots come out, they can take a ballot to that person to sign and then vote. Maybe the voter votes or maybe the organizer votes, and

then dropping in dropboxes all over the place, and away we go. And none of the counting in Pennsylvania takes place until all the polls are closed, so it takes several days just open the envelopes. The system is being gained. Is it legal? Probably? Has it been tested, not at all, But it's what's happening. Conservative working class Americans aren't organized in one location all day for months before the election. Most of us have our lives to

live. But if you're in a college, if you're at Michigan State or Michigan or Eastern Michigan, and you're not registered to vote, one of the community organizers paid fifty bucks an hour by the five oh one C four. We'll saddle up next to you. Hey, you roster, vote no, or here's an application, a register signed the bottom. I'll take care of the rest. Show me your idea. Okay, what's your name? Which

Okay, sign it up right there, will take care of it. And then they give out gift cards to individuals who ten dollars Starbucks gift cards. And then many times a po box is used in which the ballots go to one location, normally the community organizer, and then he'll take the ballot to the so called voter and saying all right, here's the ballot and vote. And every day, over a thirty day cycle in October of this year, they can mark off the list someone who's ballot they haven't collected. And then

they got and okay, you haven't voted yet, here's the ballot. Sign it. I'll take care of the rest. That's how Democrats win elections. Is it legal? Well? Probably? Has it been tested. No, Because by the time the official winner is announced of a state, which might be in Ohio, because we have a competent Secretary of State, Frank Lrose, and before him many other secretaries of state were competent, we know by

midnight who won the state of Ohio. But in these other areas they need some flex and so they have tens of thousands of ballots and boxes they haven't been opened, and they get about the business of opening them after election day. So by the time the state is awarded the first week in December, any lawsuit fibed before then might be declared to be premature because the outcome of

the state's not been determined. So you can't claim something's going wrong because you don't have the declaration by the Secretary of State that the Biden or Trump won Pennsylvania. You don't know. You can follow lawsuit alleging all kinds of irregularities, but everything's put on hold until the election is declared. And by the time it's not risk. In legal terms, it's called the issue is not ripe. It'll become ripe when the winner is declared. So here we are

the first week in December. Inaugural is about five weeks away, and okay, we want to have a trial now and start calling. Well, first of all, you got to take depositions, request for admissions, interrogatories and all the rest. That takes months and months and months. Then you take depositions that takes months and months and months, and then at some point there

might be a trial. But guess what the court's rule in December. Well, at one point the issue wasn't ripe because we don't have a winner declared, and now once a winner is declared, we can't have a trial on these issues of stuffing ballot boxes and signature matches because the whole issue is moot. We can't give the relief you seek because the inaugurals five weeks away. We can't have a full blown federal trial with hundreds of witnesses in the next

next a few days when Christmas and New Year's is coming. So in one case, the issue is not ripe because the winner's not been declared, But then once the winner is declared, the issue is moot. Can't give the relief that you seek because we don't have time to have a trial. So we have the media and the Democrats screaming about, well, you had forty

eight judges say it was legitimate. They never said it was legitimate. What they said was we can't have a trial because the system is not configured in order to allow for one, because we don't have time between election day declaration of the state winner about a month month and a half later, and then the inaugural are so close in time there can't be a trial, and so we move on to the next election with the same problems, Kentucky, Indiana,

Ohio, Florida all functional. Florida is a large state, rather diverse. Date, by midnight on election day, they know the winner of the state of Florida. Let's like Ohio or Kentucky or Indiana. Oh no, no, no, not in Michigan, not in Wisconsin, not in Pennsylvania mainly controlled by the Democrats. Guess what they went flex They want ability to down the road to say, well, we got this other box over here,

we haven't open up that box, and away we go. You file the lawsuit, contend there's some sort of legal maneuverings, legal deficiencies, or the judge says, look, we don't know who won the election. So at this point the issue is not ripe. We don't know. Now once the declaration takes place, well, I can't give you the relief you want, which is to throw out hundreds of thousands of ballots. It would take years to have that trial. So the issues moot. I cannot give the

relief that you seek, so we move on to the next election. So I see now I read over the weekend that the same groups have now organized in four or five states to register. They had the list from twenty twenty. But kids dump, jump out, or they flunk out of college.

They graduate, they move on, but they have to start again four years later in January, which is now, to sign up one hundred thousand new voters in Pennsylvania out of college campuses and government welfare list, and the activists will handle the actual voting processes to sign your name, no signature match, drop boxes everywhere. Weeks go by, opening up boxes, opening up envelopes, putting them through Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky. Do it right,

Iowa, but not the so called blue states. They want a little flexibility. In the history of American politics, no candidate has won Iowa, Ohio, and Florida and lost the election. No one except Donald Trump in twenty twenty. He won Iowa, Ohio, and Florida going away, and he still easily lost the election because of all these new voters in COVID COVID

nineteen rather interesting. Now. Secondly, I've read with interest and I spoke to some prosecutors about what's happening in Fulton County, and it's beyond ridiculous what is transpiring. Even the Washington Post, a left wing rag says to Fannie Willis, what were you thinking while she was thinking, like many big city democrats, think that now that I have power, now that I have office, talk to Jeff Pastor about this. I better monetize this damn thing.

So here's the timeline briefly. January first, twenty twenty one. January first, twenty twenty one, she takes office. She runs for office, promising to be as open and as she can be, promising to have an open door policy with the media, and that sexual harassment or dating with subordinates would

not be not be put up with in the Fulton County Prosecutor's office. Then February the tenth, about five weeks later, she opens a criminal investigation in the Donald Trump and she appoints in November of twenty twenty one, a special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, who has zero zilch nada, none prosecutory experience on felonies, zero ziltch nada. I think at one point he worked in housing

court. But he had a special connection to the person making the appointment, that is his lover, A little pillow talk going on November one, he's appointed by Willis his lover. At two hundred and fifty bucks an hour, but trial work itself will be built out at five hundred dollars an hour. I mean then and now he's collected about six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The day after he's appointed, he files for divorce against his wife, Joscelyn

Wade, in Cobb County, which is next Toard to Fulton County. So Wade gets the plumb assignment where he knows he's going to make up to five to six million dollars divorce is his wife. At that point, he's already has a special relationship with Fannie Willis, the female prosecutor in Fulton County.

Goes on and on, he submits bills which is six times greater than his co counsel, and until we come to news media reports of about three weeks ago, which no one can really believe during this time of making grossly a lot of money. And you may not know this, but prosecutors don't make a lot of money. You take the job because you care about law enforcement.

You get a nice pension when you retire. But Phone County prosecutor Fannie Willis has his salary of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year one hundred and fifty thousand, which is pretty good, but by lawyer's methods not so great. They've taken trips together, staying in one cabin. I can only imagine there might have been some of the old horizontal bop going on with the

prosecutor. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Vacation Express, the Height Regency in Aruba, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Napa Valley and more, Double Tree Hotels, first class air travel. It's because all of a sudden, Nathan Wade, he's got six hundred and fifty thousand dollars more than he's ever had before in his life. And Fannie Willis monetized the criminal prosecution of Donald Trump to a personal benefit.

That's called a kickback. And as far as the possible charges. Spoke to some of my lawyer friends in Georgia that she violently by the way, she'll come out of this without a law license. The state of Georgia will

not put up with this. You can't have prosecutors benefiting from the prosecution of a criminal defendant, much less this criminal defendant is the former president of the United States, so she at a minimum's going to lose her license down the road as Nathan Wade may also, according to my friends, honest services fraud, which is eighteen USC. Thirteen forty six, which, by the way, is a federal criminal statute, along with various civil rights statues, have

been violated by Fanny Willis herself. She's looking literally at decades in federal prison for what she did. In addition to that, Georgia has lots of criminal statues that apply violation of republic oath, bribery, improper influencing of a public official, false statements, and concealment of crime. Racketeering. There's a good one conspiracy to defraud the government, criminal conspiracies, and Fulton County's gift ban.

This morning, I watched the divorce judge in Fulton County and Jocelyn Wade wants to know the assets of the marriage to which she's entitled to a split. To get the assets, she must, of course put her husband, Nathan Wade, under oath and the lover who this case is the Fulton County prosecutor. Prosecutor, what were you thinking when you thought Okay, by the time this case is done, my lover and I will share between five and

ten million dollars in fees, and I will monetize my office. I'll take kickbacks from my lover and the six hundred and fifty thousand paid to date in which one day he worked, Nathan Wade said he worked twenty four hours in one day, pay two hundred and fifty bucks an hour. The White House said there was no coordination between the White House, Joe Biden, and county

prosecutor. Now we find out that on two separate occasions, Nathan Wade build a total of sixteen hours to the tune of about four thousand dollars plus expenses to go to the White House. Nathan Wade, the housing court attorney with no felony criminal experience, is going to the White House to do what? Talk about the weather? No, it was a coordination between Joe Biden and Fulton County to get Trump indicted and tried before the election. Talk about election

interference, bingo, it's right there. So this morning, the divorce judge, unfortunately for Nathan Wade and his lover, said he's going to treat this case like any other divorce case. Oh no, I don't get special treatment because I'm in love with my special prosecutor and I'm benefiting myself. It's called kickbacks, and this is playing out. Donald Trump has been blessed with his opponents, whether it's whether it's Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, or uh Nicky

Haley to an extent, and Fannie Willis. These characters are just unbelievable and their brazen attempt to rip off the tax pit. Keep them off the ballot. Sue him and dyte him, sue his businesses, put him in prison, try him quickly. It was all conjured up to metastasize this year so that the Trumpster could not campaign. We'll see later on how many Republicans and

Americans see through this completely. Let's continue with more if a line becomes available, which it never does five pine three seven four nine, seven thousand. I reject the insinuations from Scott Sloan. I'm a proud American who cares deeply about my country, my city, my family, and my faith. So I reject the smearing of my good reputation by Scott Sloan.

five Civil Rights Act. And then Martin Luther King Junior. What is his attitude toward the racial discrimination difficulties as opposed to Black Lives Matter? Couldn't he be a wider golf right? So I think it's good to frame this this conversation with acknowledging that Martin Luther King would have nothing to do with Black Lives Matter. The Black Lives Matter philosophy is anathopa anathema to everything that Martin Luther

King stood for. We all know his great speech in front of a Lincoln memorial in which he said he looked forward to the day when his children and grandchildren would be judged by not by the color of their skin, but by the quality of their character. Martin Luther King was in every way a merit oriented man, and the merit that he spoke out most significantly was, of course not just the the ability of the intellectual prowess and so forth, but

really the moral character of people. That this was what we needed to focus our attention on. And of course the Black Lives Matter movement that has embraced critical racetory. Remember that the Black Lives Matter movement was born out of Marxism, uh and it's and as such, you know was it was founded by Patrise Cullers and Alicia Garza, self identified as Marxists. And for those who relate identity politics to progress, I would just ask them what good ever came

out of Marxism. You know, there may be newcomers that get ideologically, you know, they presupposed that their cause is about a socialist utopia. Fine, it's people can experiment with that in their minds, but in practice, Marxist rule has a sad history of delivering poverty, corruption, and mass death across every culture in the history of Marxism. So why are we Why does Black Lives Matter that is a Marxist organization have any credibility at all. It's

really preposterous. And those sayings are put on the side of football stadiums like in Baltimore see the big signs for the playoffs. Black Lives Matter has a place for you to donate money to. And something you said quote in your article is at the Federalist dot com. The Federalist dot com. King would

condemn critical race theory because it perpetuates negative racial stereotypes against white people. And I'm watching some of these stories at in these colleges and universities, you have separate graduation, separate dorms, separate classes for black folks as opposed to everyone else. And that's racism. So isn't critical race theory and DEI the essence of that is racism? Yes, absolutely, Again, everybody in this country

needs to understand that we are in a cultural communist revolution. They want to undo all the progress we've made. They want to divide us every which way, by class, by race, by gender, by straight or gay or transgender, in every way. They want to keep us divided. A divided nation is a weak nation. And the Marxists want to take over America, and domestic Marxists, many of them, are working hand in glove with overseas enemies of the United States, notably communist China. Yes, part of that's

the Southern ter you know, Scotty. Absolutely, we have probably twenty thousand military age single Chinese men that have come across the southern border. And how is that possible. China is you know, does not just let people leave their country easily. So these have to be chartered and sanctioned by the Chinese government to enter the United States with all the other immigrants, for a reason,

for a purpose. And I would argue that these constitute a fifth column that would be activated attacking you know, our energy grid or any number of things, you know, perhaps simultaneous to their move on Taiwan. We we just don't know, but these these we have to protect our nation. And the Biden administration has utterly let us down. I mean, and of course, how how is that possible? Well, the Biden family took you know,

over thirty million dollars by Peter Schwit's estimate in money from China. Well, you know, it's an article of faith among the communist Red Chinese to pay off the leaders of a country with tens of millions then get access to billions of dollars worth of off the Biden They made a bet that Joe Biden might be he was vice president. They paid him big bucks them then directly and indirectly, and they were betting on him and some others. Somebody's going

to win the presidency in twenty twenty. They couldn't bribe Donald Trump, so they went after Joe Biden and other Democrats to give them serious money, hoping they made the right bet. It's like a roulette wheel, and they put like thirty million dollars on Biden, and damn it, it hit that. Here goes the pill. Yep, that's it. We got him. And so what information they have on Biden to public is unbelievable, and it hit

pretty quickly. In his very first year of his administration, Biden totally botched. It appears that he totally botched the withdrawal of Afghanisan. Guess who now controls the Barbrom Air Force Base. Guess who has access to the huge amounts of lithium for of course electric vehicle batteries and so forth. It is China. Did China tell Biden to abandon all that military equipment and just leave the country on short notice? I don't know. So what happened to be?

The communist red Chinese are paying off the Taliban and giving them lots of money, lots of cash to get access to the minerals and also access to military hardware. And that's a minor item. And Scott Pollham looking at several headlines, I'll put these together to show you out of the southern border what's happening. One headline is New York City man urinating on car slashes throats of passers by who told him to stop. He was arrested, released within six hours,

mentally ill. He's an illegal immigrant. Next one is in a out burger. I've heard about it, never had it. They tell me it's a good burger in Oakland, California, to close after out of control crime. The employees refuse to park their cars in the parking lot and in and out burger because of all the car thefts and the slashing of towers, of breaking the windows. And then thirdly, how about this headline, Hollywood's Walk

of Fame has become the Walk of Shame. Once glamorous boulevard is filthy, overrun by homelessness and struggling homeless camps, fentanyl use, attacking of passers by, and closing of businesses. So that is Oakland slash San Francisco. That's New York City, and that's Hollywood, that's LA That is what's happening in our major cities. And the big story might be Taylor Swift, but in reality, we're watching the deliberate dismantling of the United States of America, and

we deal with irrelevancies. Why, well, that's that's a long, wrong story, Bill, But you know, it's what we know is the the long march through the institutions. And you know when when the proletariat never never rose up to overthrow the bourgeoisie, over overthrow the capitalists, you know, the Marxists, they never gave up their vision. They said, well, you know, how can we take down Western civilization, how can we take down America? Well, let's see if we can't take over their culture.

And of course this came out of Antonio Gramci, the head of a Italian communist party. It came out of the Frankfurt School who migrated from Nazi Germany to Columbia University, and they began their work to sort of transform the culture of America away from our patriotic roots, our religious and patriotic roots, to a you know, to a cultural divisive ideology that really took root after the nineteen sixties in a very big way. Because as you abandon your Christian roots,

you leave a vacuum. And what does that vacuum get filled with? Tech took a false, a false surrogate secular Marxist religion. Technically, so many of these people that are doing these things are they are worse than Christian religious fanatics. These are very these these are subversive people that want to destroy us. And it's high time that we that we really woke up to the scope of this communist revolution. And I you know, and I dare say

that Americans are finally waking up, but it's red late. I hope we have a Can you imagine November the sixth, the day after the election, and some liberal, progressive Marxist interchangeable drill bit Democrat is elected again, continuing the policies of Joe Biden for the next four to twelve years into the future. We're right now in the middle at the end of the third Obama term. If we get too more of these terms, I don't know what we're

what we're going to look like. I know it's not good. I know it's bad. And demographers have said in the year twenty fifty, which you think is way off, we're close to twenty fifty as we are in nineteen ninety nine or two thousand. We're going to have an additional one hundred million Americans. Seventy percent of them will be unattached, single males from all over

the world who have no skills this economy needs. And they're not, shall we say, similar to the American culture and the religions and the faith, and the allegiance to the Bill of Rights and the Statue, you know, all the statutes and laws. And we have another one hundred million, and let's say seventy five percent of unattached, single, illiterate males from around the

world. What does that look like. We may not be around to see it, but our children and graduate will live in that society with overcrowded schools, non existing hospitals, with systems overtaxed. Los Angeles is going to have thirty million people by that point. New York City is going to have twenty two million. And we're done, We're dismantled. Is that the goal or is that an unintended consequence. No, that's the goal. That's the goal.

The goal is the takedown of Western civilization in the United States, the United It could be argued that the United States is the only thing standing in the way of a communist tyranny in the world because you know, and it's really our beliefs that stand in the way. And that's why the communists first go after the Christian the Christianity, the Christian beliefs, the religious beliefs of people. They attack and try to destroy the family. Look at the condition

of the American family today, and it reflects a concerted effort. You know, Americans didn't just collapse on their own. They were subliminally affected by this cultural Marxist rebel that has made all this progress. And it's very sad to say that so many elites in America have benefited from division. I think during the pandemic where the vast majority of American people lost wealth, they had to close a lot of businesses. The elites became vastly more wealthy. Doesn't that

tell you everything you need to know about this? You know what's facilitating this revolution in America? It is wealthy elites who think they will have a table, a place at the table of the communist New World Order. Well, I've got news for them. They're going to be the first targets to be killed and destroyed. Absolutely. But when I see large signs saying about gay

rights in Palestine, I'm thinking, are you kidding me? If you were in Palestine, if you were in an Arab country and you fly that gay rights flag, guess what you'll be pushed off the top of a building. When I was in Israel in May, I saw the gay pride flag in several locations in downtown Jerusalem. It's a multi cultural, welcoming city that the Arab world would love to destroy because it's the capital of capital of Israel.

One last little headline, bloodthirsty venezuel and gang has caused heavy and Latin America. They're now in South Florida. They're in the Miami area, because that's where the money is. So we're importing into America willingly, the worst elements of societies around the world, and we're acting as if the words of the Statue of Liberty apply from the nineteenth century to this century, and it does

not. And so I would get away from urging people to listen to what the Republican candidate has to say, most likely Donald Trump and his peccadillos, and take the long The long look from twenty ten to twenty years from now is to what this country will look like. We'll look like downtown Oakland, or downtown Portland, or downtown Chicago. And we can't have that. Well we can. You know, people are waking up and thanks to you, Bill, in your great voice, your huge outreach, and I want to

encourage every listener of the Bill Cunningham Show to talk to their friends. Let's double Bill's audience. Let's get this word out because our country, you can be saved. We can turn this all around. But it really requires the mobilization of the American people in a way that we've never seen before. We'll call it the Second American Revolution. So I look forward to that revolution in November. I really do Lastly, your column is at the Federalist dot com.

Scott Powell. I see another headline, Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania quote, migration threatens to destroy the American dream. That comes from Senator John Fetterman, and I'm thinking that's the first time this guy said something I agree with. But we got to run once again, you're the best there is, Scott Powell, and we got to get on a Davos. Maybe in a week or two we can do that. But once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Show and your kind words. Thank you very much,

Thank you for all that you do. Bill, keep it up. God bless you. Thank you very much. All right, let's continue with more and think about that. Think about America with one hundred million, more seventy million unattached mails from all over the world, and we're letting them willingly into this country with the design of dismantling the United States of America.

turn things around. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred. Did you know that if you miss any part of our shows, you can catch the podcast of that show on the iHeartRadio ad.

that list? Who's this from? This is from the New York Times nineteen twenty four? Wow? Also, uh huh, horses will no longer be used as transportation in major city. Now, that was a good one. That was that's pretty good right there. And mules will no longer be used in major city. We got enough of those transports. We got a lot

of assis ton't no, you said it, not me. Also, the population of the US in twenty twenty four will be up to one hundred and eighty million currently it's two forty three forty They missed out by a few bingo. But uh, this is some of the predictions. How about that? How about you and I get together predictions for the year twenty one twenty four

to see what happens and leave them here in a time capsule. Okay, poor horses still be the major mode of communication or a transmit in twenty one twenty four, probably so well, we have legs in twenty one twenty four. Yeah, can we go from planet to planet? Although it's a bit warm in Venus, it's a bit a bit cold in Mars. I here, Saturn's nice this time of year as it is, but Mars when the sun goes what about the one that's farthest away, what about some of the

mean Uranus? Yeah that too, Well, it's kind of cold there. Yeah, but in Mars, when the sun's not shining, the temperature is minus one and twenty five degrees. No way, that's a bit chilly. Jennifer ketch Mark would have a field day on Mars, no question about that. About with the weather people, I love Jennifer Ketchmark, she would go crazy. SI imagine a wind chill every day. How about something about hippos? What's this prediction? Please? Please have pans on? Please have pants

on? Does she talking about? I don't know, I don't know. Arithmatical progressions would indicate that hippos would lose their size and be no larger than a German shepherd in twenty twenty four.

Bill Cunningham, the Great American? Of course, what happened in California today will happen throughout the Midwest tomorrow and beyond. On the Gavin

Newsoon nightmare, the California disaster is ongoing. There was an announcement a few months back that, in addition to all the other deficit it's spending, in addition to all the homelessness, in addition to all the lack of handling the resources of California properly, on top of chasing out productive Californians, et cetera. Now Gavin Newson wants to provide free medical care to a half a million illegals, as if that won't impact the cost or the weight and ers et

cetera. The whole system hospital system is not set up, as you may know, to handle that many people into it. Whether it's the one hundred million coming into America over the next several decades, or whether it's California, we're in trouble. Of course, John Cox is a former California natorial candidate. Sadly he did not win. Nonetheless, the book is the news and Nightmare of the California disaster? And John Cox, can I lay out for

you the nightmare scenario that I've been talking about the last few months. Do you want to hear the nightmare scenario? I'm pretty much already familiar with it. Bill. I've lived with Newsland for a while, and I know that he's running the shadow campaign for president. But go ahead, have at it. It is now the end of July. It is hot, brailing and unforgiving, and Joe Biden is tumbling downstairs. He's babbling incoherently, and the

White House has become a retirement center. And the Democratic Party runs all these polls the end of July, and guess what Trump is gonna beat Biden. So someone goes to Joe Biden first, to Jill Biden, and then to Joe Biden, saying, for the good of the party, you gotta step down. We're gonna do this big show in August at Chicago, and we're gonna come out behind the drape. We're gonna have Michelle Obama come out as the presidential candidate, and on her side will be vice president to be Gavin

Newsom. The nightmare scenario in which Michelle Obama wins, Gavin Newsom is the president in waiting in every shot overlook on her shoulder constantly. How real as kind of a you're a business leader and author, is what I'm saying, Completely out of the realm of reality, not at all. I think any Democrat, frankly who looks at Joe Biden. Of course, Republicans have thought Joe Biden is out of it for a while, but the Democrats have certainly

thought that too. And I really think I agree with you. I don't know how he makes it for four more years. And what they don't want Bill is president Kamala. Oh, she would be even worse and for the Democratic Party and for the country. And so I think that your scenario is not crazy. I not about Michelle Obama. I don't know what she gains by becoming president, except I suppose more power for her and her husband. But you know, I think it'll be a broker convention. It's in Chicago

in August, my hometown, and we'll have to see. This is going to be unprecedented. It really is unprecedented to have a president that out of it as Joe Biden to begin with, and of course he's the second coming of Jimmy Carter with problems with oil and inflation and iron I think the Democrats have got to see themselves in trouble and they certainly don't want Trump to be repeated. No, John Cox, let's get let's look under the covers of

the California for disaster, the fiscal disaster awaiting in California. When you have a disaster like that, fiscally, the best thing to do is is keep spending lots of money and tell productive Californians to leave. Those are the two things you do. Tell that Tony Bender types, get the hell out of California. We're going to tag you have existence. And then second we've got to spend more money. Explain the California fiscal disaster. Well, listen,

I'm in the business World, Bill. I've been in business for forty years, and the first rule of business is when you're in a hole, stop digging. And now that's the opposite of politicians like Newsomb. But I'll tell you, really and truly, it's all about Newsom and his rise to power, which is also about the special interest money, the unions, the environmental

lobbyists, the trial lawyers. All these groups flood him with money. And then of course the media also backs Newsom because he loves to talk about their pet issues like abortion, like guns, like climate change. He ignores all the other disasters, the housing crisis, homelessness, shortages of water and electricity

and gasoline, and the lousy roads and the rising crime. He ignores all that to talk about those hot button issues, and he also feeds his special interest And that's how California has just made it so difficult for the average person to live there. If you get a lot of money, you're gonna do fine. But if you don't, which is ninety nine percent of the population, you are really struggling in what it should be a beautiful place to live. And I wrote this book Bill because I don't want the rest of the

country to experience what we have in California. I look at the flooding happening all over California right now as I speak, and there was an availability many years ago to double the reservoir system. In other words, all the water possible is falling on California to be used. It's going strictly out to the

ocean. Why didn't California the last ten to fifteen years, with this explosion in population because of Illego aliens and the doubling of the state budget in ten years, why not double the reservoir system so all this flooding happening, you could have water as far as the eye can see. Why didn't that happen Because there were deep pocketed environmental groups bill that didn't want it, And of course they represent a tiny sliver of the population. And they're not worried about

farmers, they're not worried about people drinking water. They rather have a declining population. They think there's too many people in the world already, and certainly they think there's too many people in California. And so this tiny sliver of environmental extremists really kind of control things because they raise money, scaring people half to death, and they got to spend it. And what do they do. They spend it buying politicians, giving new some money. And of course

then he asked a kowtow. What we've got to do, Bill is and that's what the book is about, as well, changing our electoral system to get away from the nightmare of California. We got to get away from this political structure that gives all the power to the special interest and to the me And I know you're a member of the media, but you're a good member of the media. The mainstream media in this country is very far left of where the people are. Yes, but they have a lot of the power.

Bill And when I'm proposing it's an idea called here are the people that will start with Congress getting the money out, making Congress truly the people's house again. And in doing so, we'll get away from the politicians for hire like Gavin Newsom. And we have to do it for the future of the country. We really do talk about healthcare and then the public education system. You're saying California is now having a Fisco Armageddon, It's going to get a

lot worse. Explain what Gavin Newsom did and the Democrats and Sacramento relative to healthcare for I llegal aliens shouldn't be here in the first place. Well, let's pay let's face it. You know, a big chunk of Newsom's power and money come from healthcare companies, the big hospital chain, the big insurers, and of course they're all too happy to take government money to cover illegal immigrants, and they just open the floodgates, just open the veins of the

taxpayers of the state, and they're paying for that. And of course the same thing with the education system bill. Listen, my mother was a Chicogo public school system. The school teacher. The school system in California is basically owned by the teachers' unions. There's one hundred billion dollars spent in California on education bill, and the teachers' unions decide how that gets spent. You can't

fire an incompetent teacher. There's so much money spent on administration. We've got to get the education system and the healthcare system away from the politicians, away from these interest groups. More competition, more opportunity, better service, better quality. That's only going to happen if we change this political structure, which

is really what my book is about. I saw a story this morning on NBC News about the city at Denver is three hundred million dollars upside down in one hospital because of over usage by those who pay nothing into the system. In California, if somebody would twist an ankle, break an arm, and go to an er and downtown Los Angeles into a hospital system, what would

that look like? Because I've not had that experience. If somebody would have a medical emergency and go to an er in Los Angeles or San Francisco, what would one face? First of all, there would be long lines. Bill, When you open up the healthcare system to just anybody, especially illegal immigrants, you're going to have, first of all, long lines, rationed care and poor quality. And that's what is faced. You know, I have a concierge doctor, you know, because I can afford it in California.

But I'm one of the lucky few. Most everybody in California faces rationed, lower quality care. And again it's managed by the government, and the interest groups don't care. They're pocketing the money, they're pocketing the profits. We've got to get, basically, our politicians to be free of these interest group influences. So that we can get a system that actually works for everybody. And again, that's what here the people, and that's what my book

is is trying to communicate the people. We just can't keep complaining about this. We're going to do something. Demographers of the US Census Bureau saying, the year twenty fifty, and we think twenty fifty, John Cox, is a long way off. Well, we're as close to twenty fifty as we are to the year nineteen ninety nine, which happened like last weekend. And we're told that in twenty fifty and current trends that the population of California will

double to almost ninety million human beings living in California. California doesn't have the capacity for the forty to forty five million living there now, whether it's the expressways, the water systems, the reservoir systems, the sewerages systems, the ers, the public schools. What does California look like on the path that it's on now And the year twenty fifty, when the population of California has doubled, Well, first of all, I'm not sure it will double because

so many people are already leaving the state. But you're right, we may attract so many illegal immigrants and other people that just want to live off the government. But you know, you know, Margaret Thatcher said it, Bill. You know, socialism works great until you run out of other people's money, and that's what we have. We don't have another Ronald Reagan in the

wings yet. I'm hoping that he or she is out there, that it's going to make the argument to people that you know, socialism just doesn't work, that it's never worked. I love this new argenteam President and the speech he gave at Davos. I would love if every college student were to pay attention to that speech, because you know, freedom and opportunity and free market capitalisms are Capitalism is the only way to provide prosperity to people and abundance.

Socialism is all about scarcity and low quality, and we've got to just get that message out. I'm hoping California finally grows some you know, political leaders, that we'll talk about that. In the meantime. The idea I have bill about changing the structure so that we subdivide congressional districts into one hundred little tiny districts. I'm hoping that's going to take hold, because that would take away the power of the media, that would take away the power of these

big interest groups like the unions and big oil. And that's when we have to get back. We have to get back to real leaders at a people's Congress that isn't manipulated by all these outside forces. John Cox, you're a hopeful individual. I'm not intimately familiar with Sacramento politics, but as I understand that the Democratic Party controls everything, the governorship, all statewide offices, attorney general, veto proof majorities in the House and the Senate, the California Supreme

Court, they're all. You can't find a Republican in California with a search warrant. It doesn't exist. So it is hopeful to say, you know, okay, things that get better. But isn't it up to the people, to the actual voters, to say we can't take it anymore? And is there any indication in a small way that we've turned the corner, because I don't see it at this point. Well, I hate to disagree with you, Bill, but you know, California actually has more Republicans than almost

any state in the Union. There's five million registered Republicans. It's just that we're major, you know, there's we're overshadowed by the Democratic registration, which you know has been pushed up by motor voter and by the control that is in Sacramento. Now I'm looking for people to finally reach their breaking point.

I'm hopeful that the idea of here the People, which people can find out about it here Thepeople dot Org, that we can remake the congress and the congressional districts in California as well as the whole country, and in doing that we can get people back interested in politics. You know, Bill, a lot of people have turned off of politics because it's so reactionary, it's so

us versus them. They and they also look at the media and the interest groups having so much power that most people say to themselves, why should I pay attention? Don't I can't have any impact. If we get congressional districts subdivided into one hundred little tiny districts where people actually get to meet their representatives, talk to them, they get to feel like they have a relationship, maybe people will get back interested in politics. And we need to have that

because we can't keep going the way we're going right now. And you know with people like newso we need better leaders. Well, Chicago had a chance. About a year ago. They had Lori Lightfoot also known as Beetlejuice. She absolutely ran the place into the ground. And then they elect someone more liberal. Brandon Johnson is the mayor of Chicago. He's worse than Lori Lightfoot, and I hope that Californians can lead the way. Lastly, i'd say

this. You made a comment earlier about when you're in a hole, quit digging. If you divide the losses for EVS and Ford between the amount of money they lost and the amount of number of evs they sold, every electric vehicle Ford sold last year cost the company minus sixty five thousand dollars sixty five thousand dollars per car. If I was Farley at Ford, I'd probably quit selling our vs ever time you sell one, it's six costs sixty five thousand

plus. Throw on top of that, the rental car agencies are saying, we're nobody wants to rent these things fifty percent reduction so far in sales in the month of in the last quarter. The consumer don't it doesn't want them. Rental car companies won't take them, but Gavin Newsom has the requirement that in twenty thirty everything must change fundamentally in California and that's got to stop.

But John Cox, I love your optimism. I love the idea that California is going to lead the way they would have been so much better off if you'd been elected governor. The name of the book is the Newsom Nightmare, the California Disaster. And but most importantly you have chapters after chapter on how to reform things and once again, and that's the id like to be hopeful. Can you give me a minute of hope before we conclude this? What

hope Californians have? Well, you know, there's no expression in economics, and that is things will keep going the way they are until they can't anymore. And that's really what's going to happen in California, where people are just going to get so fed up with the lack of water, the electricity rates, the cost of living, the housing, the homelessness, all this stuff, and they're going to rebel. And I believe that's going to happen.

And if it's not happening now, it's going to happen pretty soon. And I'm hopeful that Americans, will you know, do the right thing, Like Winston Churchill said, you know, Americans, you know will do the right thing after they've exhausted every other alternative. Well, the nightmare scenario is Michelle Obama for four years and then Gavin Newsom for eight years past that, bringing the California disaster the nightmare to the entire country, in which case we can't

survive. John Cox, God bless you. The Newsome Nightmare, the California Disaster, how to reform things once again, thank you very much for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show and keep the disasters in California. Thank you, Bell really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Good here, God bless you. Let's continue with more, John Cox. The book is the Newsome Nightmare. And if I'm right, and I'm seldom wrong, the Democratic Party will say at some point we can't take it anymore. And that here comes

Michelle Obama as the figurehead with Gavin Newsom running everything. Bill cunning in The Great American Live with You every Day, You're Home of the reds Is Radio seven hundred WLW.

Now, we have to have a tip of the Town's cap for a very sad news. Willie in the Animal World death Death in the family. Ugga Ugga, the mascot of Georgia has passed away this morning. He died at the age of ten. He was the

most successful. See there's Fiona passing along condole dog. There goes the wrestling right uh, in the history of Georgia. This dog had seen it all, the most successful. And it's a thirty day period of morning for for Oga and they're going to have to pick. They have a successor that they picked, but they're gonna have a collaring ceremony. That's big. I mean the Georgia mascot, is is it? What about that dog? That dog lives better than you? And I what about the mascot when he met the

mascot for the TEXANSRNS. I remember seeing that video. If everybody sees it, you can look at it, I guess on video on YouTube. But they brought Bevo over to meet Uga, and Uga started barking. Bevo was backing up like the Bengals secondary weighed fourteen pounds, had whole. There wasn't nope, he want he doesn't want any I don't want anything to do with the big u g A. Well, how about the Notre Dames mascot, some drunk irish dude. It's a dwarf. I'm thinking, how do you

have a drunk dwarf as you as your mascot? But Notre Dame does. At least Savior has a musketeer and the Blue Blob. And the blue Blob, by the way, how many years were you the blue block will he the stood reporters of pro service of your local Tamestar heating and air conditioning dealers. Tamestar quality you could feel in Cincinnati, called the experts at Preferred Home Comfort five one three eight nine two hv A C smart. What was this

segment? It was twenty nineteen. In the sugar bowl. The handlers of Bevo and Ouga matched up Correct and Ouga knocked down the metal barriers surrounding him and headed for a brief francas with Bevo Correct Exteen hundred pounds steer secured by handlers, could not resist. Ouga would not be stopped. Correct attacked the hoofs of Bevo. Don't be messing with the big Uga, Willie. They were finally gotten the we'll be messing with the Dogs. You could kind of

yank Uga off, but Beebo's a different matter. Sixteen hundred pounds of male steer is hard to deal with. Well, lean plenty of college basketball Tonight, The Xavier Musketeers and Big East play on the road at number seventeen Creton and beautiful Omaha home of the Blue Jays eight o'clock right here on seven hundred WLW six rank Kentucky in South Carolina at seven on ESPN fifteen thirty. Also tonight, Lasal will play host at number sixteen Dayton, Miami RedHawks and Central

Michigan and Ohio State and Nebraska Now the Reds Caravan? How about that continues tonight with a stop at the Lawrenceburg Events Center around five thirty. Say don't I support winners despite the changes? Oh heat, what does he know? He knows nothing. He's support losers. Scott Sloan supports losers for mint to support in the building. If he has to make one for us the game on the line, he will forty four yards pass. He doesn't make it

right? Right, there's those words again, treaded words in Buffalo. Bingo's surfaced again. So what is Scott Sloan what is he saying? That's his select that's his new license plate number. Wide right. That wasn't even close. The Baseball Hall of Fame will announce its class of twenty twenty four tonight after six o'clock in Beautiful COOPERSWN. Who will get in well, I would

say that Todd Helton has a shot. He got seventy two percent of the vote the last time I remember, Bel tre Sho did Billy Wagner Bel Trevia. Joe Bauer, former catcher with the Twins. Chase Utley is in there. That's Iffy. I don't know. He's one of the he's one of the newcomers. So Tiffy, we'll see what happens. I don't know. It all depends on how c Tren and everybody else voted. According to Texas, Bebo's assault at the at the teeth of Hugo, he caused him serious

emotional distress. I would say so has not been the same since the attack of the British bulldog. Let's see. Bengals quarterback coach Dan Pitcher Willie said the interview with the Patriots today about their offensive coordinator's job. Of course, if Pitcher stays here, he's going to be oc of the Bengals. Since Brian Callahan is off to Music City, USA. Is he related to Dirty Harry Callahan? Is that the same? Is he related to Plin East Twitch

somehow? I think so. Let's see. Bengals safety Jordan Battle has been named to the Pro Football Writers twenty twenty three NFL All Rookie Team and a former UC and Coleraine product and the tackle master himself, Ivan Pace Junior with the Minnesota Vikings is on that team too. Ivan Jachenoff's pretty good. Yes, he is tackle anything, anything except Bevo and Oga. Well, there's something about dogs barking that other animals and humans don't like. Correct some sort

of feeling. There's a pack, especially the Georgia mascot nasty as the British bulldog and Bevo. Of course, Georgia won the game, but Bevo was intimidated by Uga, wouldn't you be absolutely even Bebo's got those long hoards about four hundred feet long. I saw Uga about three years ago trying to bite the crotch of a Florida Gator football player. Remember that scene, That's right. It was after a touchdown and the Florida player wanted to go and mock

Uga. Yeah, his chompers started going for the almost got almost got for the uh you know the he almost had the unkindest cut of all. Bite would have been transgender at that point, that's for sure. Uga wasn't gonna let go either. I don't think so. No, Uga, you don't mess with Uga Bingo. And now he's moved on. Was out there in doggie Heaven and he has crossed the Rainbow bridge with Mimi to to Emma and Zumi. Well, what about Schnorf the pen That's right. Vaccine's up there

too, Maxine, that's right. They're probably having fun today. So I don't know what to say, but the Oga is dead at the age of ten. Wow. I mean, and you know what, we're not making fun of this, but that's big news in Georgia. It is I mean that mascot, is it. I Mean, when you think of the Georgia Bulldogs, you think about maybe two national championships in a row, this and that and everything else, but it all comes back through the mascot. How

about this. The Silar family in Savannah, Georgia has maintained the line of mascots pure blood English bulldogs for seventy five years. How about that? The family said Uga X was ten years old, died peacefully in her bed in Savannah. There were candles around, and there were lots of postings about the what Uga meant to the Georgia faithful bingo, there's no messing around with Uga. No, there's not, and he had manyro You don't mess with the

mascots, welly, you can mess with everybody else. When you mess with a mascot of a team, you got problems. It's war. The Florida Wide receiver one of again got Florida guy almost got them of his chump right there. You know, one of my best friends, Alvin Roar, only buys bulldogs from this breeder. Well, put the Roar back in insurance. He's putting the Roar back and his dog. He loves English bulldogs too. Here you go. Aren't they ugly? And they slobber? Right? Well,

it's like Rocky, where's he at? Pizza being delivered? Ran out to get fed, tipping the game? Is not a very attractive looking animal? Am I right about this? Well? He's beloved. The Cimer family is now they have another Oga, ready to go have another one? Right there, ready for next season. But there'll be a collaring ceremony for the new master. I bet you'll probably have about sixty thousand people show up. Well, that's a beloved mascot, Willie. I guarantee you you don't mess

with that. You don't mess with like Big Al at Alabama. You don't mess around. No, you don't mess around with You see anybody messing around with a blue blob. You see anybody messing around with mister Red. Does you see have the bear cat on the bear cat? I've seen the bear cat, not the live one, but the mascot. Well no, Rick Taylor showed me the real bear cat at the zoo. Well that's true. They still got it. They're ugly looking animals. Well, but don't be

messing with them. No, I don't know, but I like to Xavier Musketeer. Well, very nobody messes with him either. No, he's got a sword being chop your head off. Correct, So we'll see what happens. But I'm gonna talk to Wes Miller about giving some of his players some free throw. You got to get You've got to get a hold of your first cousin over there, John Cunningham the a D. He wants to meet and meet you, and then go over to the fifth third arena and say,

hold on a minute, Wes, we're stopping practice. The Great American is here. She's going to show you how to shoot free throws. Begin with the legs, bingo, the legs. Now, remember in nineteen twenty four, that New York Times report an hour ago said that men were not going to have it any legs. By now, one hundred years later, here we are. Radio may work. What's those things below my waist? Commercial air travel likely will not occur because too many planes crashed. Bicycles will

be the future, and you and I will vacation on adjoining planets. Now, I don't want to go to Mercury or Venus. It's like a thousand degrees. Yeah, you don't want to go ours. It's a bit chilly there at night. Yeah, I guess the moon. I got to call it Dean Regus check it out with him, because I don't think traveling to either planet makes a lot of sense. I might be wrong. The red planet it's cold, and then the farther out you go, it's colder.

Right. Let me ask my girlfriend here, maybe she knows o tanyo or calling in? What is the average temperature on Mercury? I got this on the web. The average temperature is two two hundred degrees. I think that's a bit uh. Well, you better get out the good sunscreen on that one. And then Venus, let's check it out. That was a good record back then. What is the average temperature on Venus? Now that's a bit toasty too. That's like the broiler times too. Ketch Mark would have

a field day at that eight and fifty seventy. I don't think you need salt trucks and that on Mercury or Venus. Don't go outside, that's all right, and you have tempstar quality. You can feel air conditioning right there on those two planets, Andy book, If you've go to be a billionaire Bingo, how many areas well? Was it again? Naked? Eighty five below zero on Mars? Forget it. That's that's another They will stay here. Let's just stay here. Negative three hundred and seventy five. Now that's

a bit chili too. You might need a little bit of tempstar are Bengo Bingo quality? You can feel? I'm not sure we're gonna be visiting other planets anytime soon. I don't think so. I think we're gonna stay here on a little your little blue marble, little marble. Now, where's the rock? I was gonna talk about this drunken mass. I don't know a Notre Dame is a dwarf. He's drunk. Oh, I thought you said he was drunk. No, not rock You didn't drink. Okay, except

Delta eight something like that. Let's see, let's see they got what they what they got here on the show. I can't even read his writing. I don't know. I have no idea. All right, give me out of the students' da six, Eddie and Rocky. We got pizza waiting for us, supposedly, and you'll be having some, won't you. That's stupid? Savior. Tonight plays Creighton with the Oracle in Creighton, the home of the Blue Jayson Omaha, Remember Peyton Manning Omaha. Oh so tonight, big

game. I'm sure they're a dog speaking of a dog, Hugo. Will you you honor of the passing of the great Georgia mascot and don't mess with the ascot who has crossed the rainbow bridge. Today we leave you with the immortal words of the Stood Report. We kept the lead from the first day of the season till the last day of the season. And uh, we're the best team in Natalie West and hopefully we can play well in the off season. In the bull season, you played more than I know who my

predictions true. Somebody got drenched that mighty eyes gow hoofy hair. Boy. There is what we didn't We don't man. I knew I wasn't going to escape pretty good. That's when I predicted a red spector Imara. Yeah, I know, they got me. They got me. You all enjoy an us? Yes? Thanks again? Yes? And I predicted Savior would win the National Invitation Tournament two years ago in Madison Square Garden. What happened? They won? And I predicted that the Bengals would win the AFC Championship two

years ago. What happened? They won. I predicted Kentucky basketball with Rick Patino would go back to back and win national titles. What happened, victory, they won. All I can say is my prediction is generally you're accurate. Despite the protestations of the odious one, Scott Sloan, see you tomorrow.
