10-24-24 Bill Cunningham Show

But Jonan, you and I now is Rob Sanders, the man who controls northern Kentucky with an iron grip. And Rob Sanders, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, Tony Bender is in the dark about Kentucky Issues one and two. He hasn't read much about it. He's going to have to vote pretty soon. Can you give us a capsule? Much like Constitutional Amendment Number one in Ohio, the Americans should vote no on that in Kentucky one and two, can you give us a capsule on each? If anything?

you must be a citizen to vote in Kentucky. However, there is nothing in that state constitution that says if you are not a citizen of the United States or of Kentucky, that you cannot vote in Kentucky. So I believe there's been some other states. Virginia, Georgia comes to mind.

I think there's a few other Republican controlled states where the Department of Justice has tried to interfere with the state's elections saying, hey, we know your constitution says that you have to be a citizen to vote, but there's nothing that says non citizens can't vote. So our Republican legislature is being proactive. They're going to try and close

that loophole. The Issue number one would change our constitution to say, not only do you have to be a citizen to vote, but if you're not a citizen, you can't vote. Seems like common sense to me, but apparently these days common sense has to be spilled out word for work.

also Haitians. What happens if the Congress in Washington, the Democrats win everything House, Senate presidency, they get rid of the filibuster, of course, and then pass the national law that says illegals become citizens and they can vote immediately, which is what the Democrats want to do. How does issue one interact with that? Give me a full report.

I don't think the federal government can trump that. Nevertheless, it would certainly create a legal mess if you have Washington, d C. Doing the thirst they can to muck up state elections and to try and take over states that are notably not blue states, not liberal states, you know, the Kentucky's, the Ohio's, virtually every place that's not on a coast, and they would be trying to take over and hijack those states so that they can impose the will of the liberals and the big cities on the

coast on US. I don't think we're going to let that happen. Willy, and hopefully God Willing and the Crigtom Rise will have a good outcome in the presidential election, which, by the way, Willy, is only the third most important election on the ballot come November fifth, because as you and I both know, of course, number one is my

election because I'm up for reelection. Fortunately I'm not running against anybody, so that number one I'm pretty sure I'll remember to vote for myself and we'll check that one off. But number two is re electing Melyssa Powers. Unfortunately I

can't vote in that one. That's all up to the good citizens of Hamilton County to make the right choice and make sure they keep us all safe, because anything that goes wrong in Hamilton County, because of the size of the county number of people, is bound to influence everybody else in Greater Cincinnati. No matter what county you're in, whether it's Kenton, Boom, Campbell, Butler, claremont As, Hamilton County goes at least to some extent, so goes the rest

Greater Cincinnati. So it's definitely important, I hate to use that ironic term, but definitely important that we re elect Melissa Powers and return her and her team to the prosecutor's office in Hamilton County so we have some semblance of sanity left in Hamilton County. We can't turn that prosecutor's office over to the lunatic liberals like the judges that they've been electing lately in Hamilton County. Third most important election is the presidency.

in Hamletin County. And he give the prosecutor's office to Countie Pillage, who's never tried a felony case in her life, who didn't have a law license until last year, and she simply wants to get on the ballot and get elected because it's a D next to her name. And I would hope suburbanites might say, and including black folks in the West and East End, who say, you know what, we can't do this to us because black Americans want

the same law enforcement as white and brown Americans. We can't have an inexperienced county prosecutor who's never tried a case over another one who's been involved in one hundred and fifty thousand cases. I can't believe Hamley down you would do that but I have my doubts. Move on to number two.

initiative says. What it says is that the state could help students that want to go to private schools, especially those that can't already go to private schools, could help them in the form of vouchers, so that they would have true school choice, that they could choose any school, public school, private school. The part of the constitution that says the state is required to fund public schools would not be changed. Public schools are still constantittionally required to

be funded. That would not change one bit. The only thing it would do is help the poorer students in our state have an opportunity and access to private school education, which currently only wealthy families do because it is trust me, I know this from personal experience. Really, it is quite expensive to send your kid to private school. I know that all too well. But unfortunately there's kids that don't, whose families don't have the resources and the income to

be able to fund a private school education. And if you're in a failing school district, which even though we have some very good public schools locally in northern Kentucky, not all of them are successful. Some of them are woefully failing to educate the kids, get them ready to head off to college or head into the job market.

It would give any child of any economic background the opportunity for the state to assist them in going to a private school so that hopefully they can come out of that private at school ready to go to college or ready to go into the workhouse.

voucher program. I know many families who send their kids to a different public school that's functional order a private, procile or Catholic school. They get like eight thousand dollars a year. All those programs gone. If Kamala Harris wins the presidency and orders the Apartment of Education to put out a directive to all the state boards of education that you cannot have a voucher program, imagine the chaos in Ohio, Kentucky and Nan if that happens, I address

yourself to that issue. Now, you got me all pissed off in this out and I don't know what to say. Imagine defunding private, parchial and charter schools because Kamala Harris says, I got elected, I said to what I'm gonna do, and I'm gonna do it. How about that one, Rob Sanders, Well.

have voucher programs. If that those states know that it's coming, and if you talk about states that have Republican governors, especially like Texas, like Florida, like Ohio, and those states stick to their guns and they say, no, we're keeping the vouchers. We dare you to unfund us. Can you imagine the pushback? I mean, you think there's pushback in Kentucky now about this whole issue too thing from the

public schools and the teachers unions. Can you imagine the pushback that they would get, not just from Republicans, but from Democrats alike and teachers unions alike. And it would be like cats and dogs living together in terms of the alliances that would be formed. If she tried to carry out the threat to unfund public schools in those states that kept vouchers, I just don't see that happening. There's too many d's that are employed by public schools

that are members of the teachers unions. There's too many rs that likewise work for public schools, whether they are or or not members of the teachers union. They would still rise up. Half of everybody in Kentucky is either related to a teacher, married do a teacher. He's got a brother or a sister that's a teacher. I'm sure it's the way in all these other states as well.

I don't think that, if God forbid, we have a President Harris, that she would ever be able to follow through on that threat and do away with the vouchers. It's really something public education should be controlled by the states, not the federal government. And that's one very good reason. Why. You know, if California or New York doesn't want a vouch your system, don't have a voucher system. But if Ohio wants it, then Ohio should have it. Socian Kentucky, and it should be local control.

question anyway. There's been headlines in the Tri State about the Scott High School principal is under criminal investigation by Rob Sanders. What can you tell us about the Scott High School principle, this Procacino character, and what he allegedly did of anything.

investigation by the Kenton County Police Department. They have informed of me about that investigation long enough for me to know that there have been no allegations up until this point of any felonious conduct. That means that if there are any crimes that have been committed, that they are misdemeanors, and if their misdemeanors in Kentucky, they're not my problem

because the county attorney has to prosecute misdemeanor offenses. I only handle misdemeanors when they're connected to felonies, and the Kenton County Police have told me, if we find a felony, we'll call you back, but otherwise we don't have it

right now. The only reason I said anything in the media about this case is because when news broke that there was an investigation, all of a sudden, my email blew up, my phone calls blew up, my text messages, blew up everybody wanted to know, with somebody raped, with somebody sexually abused, is he dating a student that sort of thing? And I looked into it long enough to know that it doesn't involve anything sexual. If it did, those would be felonies, and that would be my problem.

That would be my work. We've done that too many times, more than i'd like to count in the past, at other schools, other places, other suspects. But this investigation, to my knowledge, as far aheads, no allegations of felonious conduct. So it sounds like he's in trouble with his employer. He may very well be in trouble with the law, but it won't be this office, and it's not my investigation.

So that one I have already moved on from Willie, and that'll be another prosecutor's problem if it goes to prosecution at all.

who was a senior. They got married when she graduated. They're happy, they got kids and grandkids. In life couldn't be any better. Those are the may I say, those are different times.

But it does happen still today, that that a defendant will end up marrying their victim. It still makes my head spend, makes me wonder how anybody could get involved in that kind of situation. But times have changed. They're held to a different standard. But that doesn't mean the same things not still going on.

In statushe wanted two and for those who have those Harris signs all over Boone County. I wish them well because they're wrong. But once again, Rob Sanders, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Rob, hopefully just before the election, will do it again. Thank you.

you hear? Can you smell what's being cooked here? Can you understand that Hamlet and County is the heart that beats the entire Try state, the four or five Indiana counties, the nine or ten Kentucky counties, the seven or eight Southwest Ohio counties. We are the heart in Hamley County that beats the whole thing. And don't you think we're teetering into an abyss that we do not want to enter that you see other American cities go through, and

Cincinnati's not quite there. And I think about my experiences with Blink and how positive it was. Five hundred thousand people a night. It was unbelievable, packed and stacked, and no serious incidents because police presence was ubiquitous. I saw CPD and Charmaine mcguffey's men and women everywhere, and there was a sense that we can do this, It's okay. And then I get up this morning. Five year old boys in critical condition after drive by shooting in Winton Hills.

According to police, the drive by took place at six am. The five year old boys in critical condition. You heard from her mother child taking the children's and they're looking for the person that did it. Simply spraying a community with bullets at six o'clock in the morning. Five year old probably in the right place, and it's bad the right time, and it's happening repeatedly. How about Wanted Hills

with youth football. How about the fact that according to Fox nineteen that did a story two or three years ago on the results of a shot spotter, which are these listening devices that discriminate between car backfires and maybe fireworks and actually shots, because shots is we're seeking to prohibit and still being used a little bit, because it tells police what's happening in the community when no one

calls in nine to one to one. Those who live in the West End, the East End, Evanston, Avondale want badly good police and good prosecution because they're the ones who punish and are punished by the prices of failure of left wing democratic politics. They're the ones who pay the price, not so much those of us who live

in Mason or Villa Hills or Kenwood. I was talking to a friend of mine at a club with Kenwell Country Club and I asked, I'll give you his first name is Wally, and I said, have you ever heard a gunshot fired in anger in your community? And he said no, And I said, well, the only time I heard gunshots is when I lived in Avondale. I heard gunshots all the time, and I don't hear I assume when I hear a loud bang, it's probably a firecracker, a M eighty or maybe a backfar. I don't assume

it's a gunshot. You don't have to live like this. And what's happened is that the lies and deceptions told by liberal Democrats, not the John Wheathy Democratic Party or the William J. Brown or the Frank Celebrezy Democrat Party, or the Kennedy Democrat Party or the John Glenn or

Howard Metzenbaum Democrats. It's not that party. There's another group out there who's now completely in charge of the Democrat Party, far left, just like Kamala Harris, who does not want law enforcement because they perceive it as a negative, and they're democratically controlled areas well. It's not a negative in reality. In reality, black folks want law enforcement and prosecution as much and more than I do, because they're the ones with the slings and arrows coming in their way, including

five year olds getting shot. I still recall, and the West end around TQ, well, some little nine year old boy was out playing it got shot in the head

on another drive by. That person's not been arrested. And it begins in small ways and goes to much larger I'm watching the story last night, I think it was Todd Dykes of Channel five head a story about hundreds of car break ins and price Hill and West Price Hill, etc. And the core of Cincinnati for those listening around the country, hundreds of break ins over a two day period, hundreds of breakings. There's a new apartment complex in Madisonville in

which media reports indicate that car break ins. There's ten to twenty every weekend car break ins. That's why I tell you and I tell those around me, do not lock your car. Do not leave anything of value in your car, whether it's a gun and a knife, a wallet, money, cash, whatever it is. Leave the car doors unlocked and leave nothing of value. The first thing a thief does is see if he can get into the car without breaking

a window, which causes noise. If you can't get if the car's locked, break into the winter there's a thousand bucks out the window, and they rifle through your car in ten seconds and move on to the next one, and the next one, and the next one and the next one. And I saw on the story last night there was this fine young mother. She appeared to be in her mid twenties, had a four year old daughter,

and her Hyundai was stolen. Hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands, of Hundays and Kias have been stolen because there's a flaw in the construction methods that makes dealing them very easy without a key. And she was in tears, thinking, I got a kid to take care of. I love my child, and I'm in nursing school and I have two part time jobs to pay the bills. And she says, I can't afford uber and the buses don't go where I have to go. Where do I go?

spot here indicated. This is as of a couple of years ago that there were twenty thres gunshots in the city of Cincinnati in one year. Hear that number twenty thousand. What happened in Winton Hills last night with the five year old boy in critical condition, and I pray he pulls through. What happened to the nine year old boy in the West End, what happened at the Waning Hills High School when Reagan takes a gun and shoots two people is a common occurrence. You cannot grow up in

certain zip codes in Cincinnati without hearing repeated gunshots. And it doesn't have to be this way. We've had the last few years a functional prosecutor's office, like a policeman. Over what's happening with liberalism and far leftism all over Hamlety County, especially the city of Cincinnati. Hamlin County is now deep blue. Donald Trump's going to lose Hamlin County

by fifty thousand votes. So if you're going to vote for Kamala Harris because you've been conditioned to do so, think about who should sit in the prosecutor's office to make the decisions about who gets prosecuted, doesn't get prosecutor, what charges are broken down, what charges are not broken down, what the bond should be, what the bond should not be. About half the judges in Hamlin County have gone woke, very simple to get the easy bonds and easy sentencing.

Right now, there are judges in Hamlin County that want to go back more than three decades and free a murderer because of a newly discovered evidence that all the other judges said was completely irrelevant because the guilty person was found that way. There's a philosophy, a corrosive left wing liberal progressive philosophy that tears down families, tears down faith,

and tears down the criminal justice system. And if we lose control, if we normal Americans who went law and order to some extent I like it completely, then you have to keep Melissa Powers as the prosecutor. I like to go into the Witenhills community and find out, maybe after the elect what percentage of Democrats living in Winton Hills voted for Connie Pillag, who's never tried one criminal case in her life, who did not have a law license renewed until about a year ago when she wanted

to run for hell. Last year she couldn't spell prosecutor. Now she wants to be one. It's unbelievable if there was a tyrone Yates or Melba marsh or a Fanon Rucker who somewhat involved my good old friend who's not with us anymore, with John Burlew. If there was an African American running who was liberal but had some sense of sensibilities and was qualified, I'd say, well, I can see why the Democratic Party wants to put up a Democrat,

because that's one hundred and fifty jobs. It's called patronage. But in this case, you have a woman, Melissa Powers, who's been involved in one hundred and fifty thousand cases over the last thirty five years, prosecuting the worst criminals known demand. And when your home is broken into, when your car is broken into, that can be a serious thing. When your daughter, your mother, your wife is raped, someone is killed in your family. You want a Mark Petemyer,

you want a Rick Gibson. You want a Melissa Powers trying your case to make sure that you get justice. You don't want someone who's never walked in a criminal court and prosecuted, not one person who claims I'm the prosecutor. Now what do I do? Connie Pillach would have to get directions to the courthouse, for God's sakes, So how is that possible, especially in a climate where everyone around

her are all Democrats. Anyway, there's the only elected Republican in Hamley County other than Melissa Powers is a guy named Beck who's the county engineer. And he's a bright guy. He's like an engineer, and nobody else wants the job. When I speak, I can't mention their names, but I should, but I'm not good. Well known Democratic county officials will tell me privately, I'm voting for Melissa Powers. And I said, well, can you come out and say that these are noted,

well known names. I will not mention the offices they hold, but all the offices in Hamley County are dominated by Democrats. I've spoken as city officials or Democrats. They're all saying, you know, I'm voting for Missy. Of course she's good and she understands, she communicates, she knows what she's doing. But they you can't come out and say I'm the county whatever and vote for Melissa Powers, because the party would the party would ostracize you and shuffle you out

of the deck. You got to stay in line.

twenty thousand shots fired? And you want to put a liberal Democrat like Connie Pillage with no experience as a prosecutor. Are you kidding me? Come on, and I wish we lived in a way that you could jump out of line as a Democrat elected official and say, don't do this. Please. One of them told me, don't use my name, but just tell them. Tell the voters that the majority of elected Democratic leaders in Hamlin the county are voting for Melissa Powers, but please don't use my name. I won't

use your name. I told this person, I won't give you the gender because that eliminates a whole bunch of people. That is typical what I get when I call it democrats in Hamilton County. Please tell them that Democratic leaders want Melissa Powers. But we can't. We can't. We can't come out. Republicans go all over the lot all the time. You know, Dwine is under attack by Republicans. Of course,

Trump's under attack by Republicans. Bernie Sanders under attack by Republican Republicans, and it should be Bernie Marino under attacked by Republicans because we go different directions. But the Democratic

Party are pack animals who simply follow the lead. If I would go after the election and look at Winton Hills and look at who voted for Melissa Powers, who voted for Countie Pillage, I bet you a dollar to a Krispy Kreme donut that the majority of voters in Winton Hills, with mayhem everywhere, with kids being shot in the head, sleeping in bed, voted for Countie Pillage. She's got that blue. Nick got the ballot, She's on the

ballot blue. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And then when you look at these cases, who do you want prosecuting your son's murderer? Who do you want prosecuting someone breaking into cars causing mayhem? Who do you want someone prosecuting a burglary?

There's burglary teams in an Indian Hill, in Villa Hills and Mason they think they're from Venezuela, who are in and out of houses in ten minutes with blocking systems on the security and when you're someone's finally picked up, do you want a liberal Democrat, no cash bond democrat prosecuting your case or do you want someone who wanted to lock that person up now it may not get locked up? Goes in the Hamlin County. As you know, fifty percent of the judges are woke. They've gone woke.

There was a case in Common Police Court with a pedophile that a Common Police Court judge gave probation to because he promised to do better in future. It's unbelievable. Half the judges are like pac Dinkelocker. The other half are like Jennifer branch Aclu. When you have that system, you got to have a stop gap at the end of prosecutor that says this will not stand. I'm going

after these criminals with everything I got. You'll never hear that out of a woke prosecutor who believes in victimization and reparations and affirmative action and DEI no cash bond, too many people in jail. You'll never find that attitude. We're close, we're tipping or right there. And for all everyone that has heard gunshots in the City of Cincinnati everyone that's been burglarized and beaten, everyone that's had drug sales condicted in front of their house. Get ready for

homeless encampments everywhere in the city of Cincinnati. If Melissa Powers loses and she's putting life in limit risk by doing this, and her opponent, Countie Pillage, needs a Google map to find the courthouse, she has no idea what she's doing. She's never been there before to prosecute a criminal case. She's clueless, and she's running. She's in her sixties and she needs a job. So she got her law license back, having not had it for like decades,

said hey, I'll become the prosecutor. I'm a Democrat, and Democrats vote for Democrats. They're pack animals. They don't think independently. So please, I implore you at this point to think about my home city, my hometown of Cincinnati and Hamley County, And even though you got those silly ass Kamala Harrison's signs in your yard, think about public safety. Think about your husband, Think about your wife, Think about your brothers

and sisters. Think about what happens in Hamlety County. If a left wing radical liberal will prosecutor takes over the entire criminal justice system. You're going to have half the judges being bad, but there's one prosecutor making the decisions for you and your family. And I want Melissa Powers to be the prosecutor. And Democrat officeholders have told me to tell you as a voter. Democrats are saying Connie Pillage, no, they want Melissa Powers. They cannot come forward and give

you the reasons because Democrats are pack animals. They got to follow the lead. But through me to you, they're telling you, please, don't put Connie Pillage in charge of criminal justice in Hambleton County. Are you kidding me?

American of churs. Chris Finnie of the Finny Law Firm has perhaps the eminent law firm in the Tri State when it comes to civil rights, human rights, employment employer issues and so much more than Chris Finny. Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show, and Chris, two or three uses are percolating around my head. I have a story here live on CNN, so it must be true. Quote Biden's lock him up remark about Trump was profoundly stupid,

says CNN analyst. This is from Elliott Williams, who's a Democratic attorney, who says the person in charge of law enforcement in this country, which is the President through the Department of Justice, should not be saying stupid things like lock him up. As a civil rights attorney and so much more. How do you respond to that.

If their motivations become suspect, it undermines the entire system. And in this case, you're pointing out the chief executive, the person who appoints the attorney general and is head of the executive branch. Joe Biden says, he's assuming a prosecutorial function and giving political direction to the prosecutor. Lock him up, and it's frightening. It's utterly frightening. You know, what do you do with a man with a badge and a gun. What do you do with a prosecutor

who can indict, who is motivated by politics. It's Banana Republic stuff, it really is.
