11-8-23 Bill Cunningham Show

I'm not sure, And of course we have coming up later Rob Sanders's good friend Gwyn McFarlane, who's the chair of the Democratic Party, to talk about how these things happen in Ohio, specifically Hamilton County and the surrounding counties. By the way, Anderson Township voted for abortion. Butler County, the home of Richard K. Jones, who promised me he would deliver, Butler County voted for abortion. An abortion will be the law is the law of the

land now, at least in the state of Ohio. And may have washed in the Kentucky gluminatorial race, the governor's race, because every Republican won except Daniel Cameron, and he had policy on abortion and was no exceptions for rape and incests. Maybe there was something washing over the Ohio River into Kentucky. Not sure, but a man with all the answers who predicted Daniel Cameron victory is Rob Sanders. Rob Sanders, Shall I play some more Dirge music for

you? No? I think that's great background music for Andy Basheer. Anytime we talk about Andy Basheer, you either need to play the Imperial March or the sound of Darth Vader breathing because he's your governor. That's what we're dealing with in Kentucky for the next four years, and in fact, it's probably gonna get a lot worse because he's off his moderate leash. He doesn't have to worry about getting re elected, so he can take up all the liberal

Joe Biden policies. He can put biological mails in girls' bathrooms and in girls' locker rooms, he can have them on the girls' sports teams. He doesn't have to be beholden to any conservative voters in Kentucky, Democrat or Republican. He can take up those national liberal policies. Probably start flying in loads of illegal aliens or something from New York City trying to help them out where We've got all sorts of Imperial March themed issues that we're going to have to deal

with in Kentucky for the next four years. Will I listen to your friend Joe Scarborough this morning on MSNBC. Andy Basher has a national presence right now. In fact, he's on the short list e Leach for a short list for a vice president, and he might become the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party if Joe Biden blows up the MSNBC types are promoting our governor to the

top of the list for VP and or president itself. You may say, at one point, Rob Sanders, I knew Andy Basheer when he was only

a governor. You know, Willie, I've heard that talk, and I think in my only response to that is that anybody that says that on the national platform, whether it's the talking heads on CSNBC or it's some Democrat that's only flown over Kentucky and they've never actually been to the Bluegrass state, they just haven't met Andy Basher yet, because I promise you, when they do, they will realize that he has the personality of like those styrofoam essays in

your Amazon packages, the filler that goes in your package to keep your stuff

from breaking. That's about exciting as Andy Basheer is. And when it comes to this national campaign, you know, he's had the perfect storm of four years as governor where all he's had to do is hold press conferences where everybody's drinking, having a happy hour with Andy, or cocktails with Andy or whatever they were calling that, and then he was going to the eastern part of the state hand and out checks the flood victims in the western part of the

state, handed out checks to tornado victims. He claimed credit for everything the Republicans in the legislature passed, and he vetoed. He's had the perfect storm for a governor to run for re election without actually having done any governance whatsoever. He's never had the lead. He's just had to give people federal funds that Joe Biden's shipped to Andy, and Andy gave out in the form of big checks. And who wouldn't want to run after having done that for four

years? Now, let's talk about Kenton County. According to Tony Bender, who's run the numbers, Kenton County voted for Andy Basher. Can you explain why Kenton County, Kenton County, Kenton, you're the king of Kenton County. You're the Darth Vader of Kenton County. Kenton County voted for Annie Buscher and you're in charge. Why. We've got a couple issues we've got to

address here, Willie, And the biggest one is turnout. You know, Kenton County only turned out thirty four percent, which in an off non presidential election year is actually probably better than we've done in the past. But I think part of the reason that the percentage is up is because we've got expanded

voting days now. You know, it used to be you can only vote on Tuesdays and with mail in ballots, and in Kentucky to get an absentee ballot, you had to submit an affidavid swearing that you were not going to be in the state on election day, and it really limited the number of people available. Well, now we've expanded that to where you can vote on Thursday, which I did Friday Saturday, which is when I took my wife for her It was so she could vote. And you can vote on election

day on Tuesday. And I think the Democrats have figured this out, which the irony there is they should all be available on Tuesday since very few of them are working, but all the Republicans who have jobs, they should be flooding to the polls on Saturday. You know, part of me thinks that maybe we ought to vote on Saturday so all the people that work for a living actually don't have to worry about taking off work or leaving work to go

vote. Why don't we vote on Saturdays like they do in many other countries. That's a discussion for another day. Nevertheless, I think the Democrats in Kenton County and Campbell County had figured out the early voting, whereas the Republicans are not. And even you know, you look at Boone County, which Daniel Cameron won Boone County fifty six to forty four, which looks like a sizeable margin. However, you got to look at Boone County's turnout was only

thirty five percent. It's only one percentage point better than Kenton, and it's just not the vote margin that Daniel Cameron needed. You know, he needed Boone County to be upwards of sixty percent turnout, probably to give him the

votes to overcome Jefferson County because he just got hammered down in Louisville. And I think that's a combination of Louisville still being a Democrat stronghold as well as the Brionna Taylor fallout that again was just a perfect storm for Andy Basheer to come away with a seventy two to twenty eight victory in Jefferson County and there are a ton of votes down there. And the other issue I saw commercials run by Annie basher against the extreme position of Daniel Cameron on abortion that had

no exceptions for rape or incest. I thought a good political ad was that young woman who was raped by her stepfather and got pregnant, and Daniel Cameron's world, I'd be forced to have my rapist baby. It's also her baby. But that's a different issue. But nonetheless, did abortion, which is a sacrament to Democrats has did that play a role too? I think that that's the biggest factor in this race, Willie. When you look at the

races, there were all statewide races, they're all constitutional offices. What's the one issue that is in play in the governor's race that really doesn't come into play when you're talking about attorney general or a commissioner of agriculture or secretary of state or auditor or treasurer. None of those other offices deal with abortion. The governor's office is the only one that has an influence on whether or not an abortion law is passed, and if so, whether or not there are

any exceptions in that. And I think that there's a lot of conservative Republicans out there in the world that would never talk about this in public, but in private they believe that there ought to be exceptions, and I know that that is contrary to the opinion of many on the far right. Those people that vote in and oftentimes control a Republican primary don't want any exceptions. That's something the Republican Party has really got to sort out before the next governor's election

in Kentucky is how are we going to deal with this. I understand the hardline approach. I'm very much pro life myself, but there are you know, we have to figure out what is our moral position versus what is our political position. Because the hard line one hundred percent pro life that Daniel Cameron has taken his entire career in up until the very waning hours of the governor's

race, maintain that obviously did not work. And I think that that makes up the difference between every other Republican winning by ten points and Daniel Cameron losing by five points was the fact that his hard line approach to abortion really came into play. And I think there are a lot of Republicans that crossed the

island voted for Andy Basher because they wanted there to be exceptions. It's not something I necessarily agree with, It's just a fact of life, and Republicans in Kentucky are going to have to decide do they want to have a one hundred percent ban on abortion or do they want to make exceptions for what's probably not five or ten abortions in the Commonwealth of Kentucky in an entire year. When it comes to those conceived in rape or incest versus, you know,

abortions that are more or less cosmetic procedures. People having abortions just because they don't want to be pregnant. Those obviously far outnumber the rare instance of a rape or incest victim being impregnated. But I think the Republicans are going to have to consider whether they want to make exceptions so that they can win races and not bleed those votes across the aisle to guys like Andy Basher in the

future. Rob Sanders, Kent County Prosecutor. I look at Anderson Township, which is a rock red Republican area, and Anderson Township voted for abortion, Butler County voted for abortion. I think Claremont County voted for abortion, Hamilton County voted sixty seven percent for abortion, and in the City of Cincinnati it was seventy six percent overwhelming. There's a whole bunch of suburbanites, especially females, who say, keep your hands off my body, all determined whether I

can and should kill my unborn baby. I don't want government making that decision for me. As you said, the rape incest is less than one percent. Abortions, the great majority are for a convenience or whatever it might be.

Put on your political hat. Should the Republican Party work on individuals and have moral stances on an abortion issue and forget in the future for the foreseeable time any reference to abortion, running in it, running against it, and let it play out because the people have voted on that, at least in Ohio, and I would anticipate that if it was in Kentucky, you'd probably be exactly the same thing, which is, you know, abortion on demand

up through birth. Isn't it politically wise for the Republicans to drop the issue with the very least? Really, what I was talking about, the Republican Party and the Republican Legislature is going to have to find some kind of not

necessarily middle ground. It can still be far right ground, it can still be very conservative ground, but they've got to find a common ground that accommodates the entire Republican party, because if they continue to bleed votes to the left just because they want to try and rule out every abortion with no exceptions,

they're going to end up right where Ohio is. And that's with a campaign to put abortion rights and all the other rights that went into that issue one in Ohio because it went well beyond just abortion or exceptions for rape or incests. If we don't find a way to accommodate the issue as a Republican party in a Republican legislature, if they don't find a way to accommodate the issue on a legislative basis, they're going to end up in the same situation Ohio

is in now, where abortion has been enshrined in the constitution. I don't think anybody wants that. I think in large part Kentuckians are against abortion at least abortion for convenience or an abortion for cosmetic purposes, but they still I think there's still obviously a majority of Republicans, I'm majority of Kentuckians including Republicans, who want abortion at least is in an option in emergency situations. Yeah, and the proposal of fifteen plus three, which is fifteen weeks plus three

rape incest, life of the mother. That's where I think, that's where the bulk of Kentuckians, Ohioan's, and Hoosiers are. Fifteen weeks is almost four months exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother. Away you go. You can run on that thing, and you can't run on the idea that you can be raped and you must carry your rapist baby to term and deliver. And I think that's in my book. It's a great sacrifice for the woman. It's her baby too. It's terrible the way the baby

was formed. But nonetheless it is not where the American people are. In fact, is not even close to where the American people are. And if abortion is a sacrament in the liberal world, bow your head, acknowledge it, and move on to other issues, because on that issue, it's been demonstrated, it's not a winner, and it's likely to get worse, like Joe Biden's mental acuity is going to go down, not up. And right now, when I watched last night in Columbus, you had large numbers of

those in favor of abortion that they were crying tears of joy. They were passing around bottles of champagne, dancing around doing the macarena, And I don't know how any human being could do that when you're talking about the life of unborn babies. In fifteen weeks, the baby can feel pain, the brain has developed, there's brain waves, there's heart beats, there's human organs, and a suck and dismember that baby out of the womb. If you want

to celebrate that, so be it. Yeah, Willie, That's obviously not something we want to see happy happening in Kentucky. It's not a position that I think is tenable for anybody. It certainly will lead to further moral degradation

of the state. But I think if we find whether it's fifteen plus three, whether it's some other version of that, even if it's just the three exceptions, there can be some kind of middle ground that is not perfect, but we'll stave off the campaign to enshrine abortion right in the Kentucky Constitution.

And I think that's what the Republican Party needs to seriously consider in order to you know, take back the Governor's mansion and continue to win statewide races across the board like we did in every in every race except the governor's race. That's something that we're going to have to continue to or we're gonna have to consider in the future. Now, lastly, Ohio now has hippie lettuce.

It's it's viable in thirty days December the seventh. God knows. It's got to be sorted out as to how much I guess it's in the statue, how much you can grow. You just don't grow it all of a sudden, you process it and you got pot. There's more to it than that. From a Kentucky Kent County viewpoint, if someone wants to walk into downtown Cincinnati and buy a few of the Dobies a couple ounces away, you go come and walk back across the High River and smoke it. Things of that

character. What what does the county prosecutor Kent County say about what's happened in Hamilton County and what's going to happen now in Kenton County? Is it legal now in Kenton County to smoke pot? It is not. Will he stay on that north side of the river enjoy the Covington skyline. If you want to get high smoking dobies, smoke your weed on the north side of the

river. Take in the beautiful Covington skyline. Lord knows we have almost as many beautiful buildings now as Cincinnati does, but don't bring it back across the river. It's still illegal in Kentucky. It's going to remain in illegal in Kentucky for the foreseeable future. Could change before too long, but right now it's still illegal. You will get arrested, especially if you're driving while you're smoking, which is still illegal in Ohio. By the way, you're not

allowed to drop high. You're also not allowed to have weed in a gun, which, for whatever reason I don't entirely understand, everybody wants to run over to Ohio, buy their medicinal weed while they're armed with a handgun, come back to Kentucky and smoke it on our river bank. I can't tell you how many people get arrested Covington carrying guns and smoking weed in Covington, which is just silly and ridiculous. But you'll continue to be arrested in Kentucky.

It's still illegal. So if Kentuckian's are going to go o to Ohio and smoke their dope and get high, that's fine. But just do it over there and don't drive back. Rob Sanders, thank you for your analysis. Look forward to my meal at Walt's Hitching Posts and Fort Wright sometime. You spoke briefly with the People's Judge this morning. We're going to go on a two at three day fast before we appear, but the date should be

worked out soon. Where you pay off your bets? You lost them all absolutely, Willie, I owe so many people steak dinners at Walt's Hitching Posts. Now it's gonna you know, I'm gonna be probably dipping into my retirement funds or something to pay off all these bets. But I'm good to my word. You can get the uh you got some Ribbi out there, phone

in Ribbi named after some guy I've never heard of named Tracy Jones. I hear they got a new Rocky Boyman Mountain Oysters appetizer that's supposed to be exquisitive oyster. What that is but Rocky Boyman Mountain Oysters. But you're welcome to get anything on the menu at Waltz. I'm sure Donnie Ansberger and his crew

out there will take good care of you. The People's Judge and me and my wife with wines, drinks, bourbons, you name it, Willy, we will roll out the red carpet to the Great American and the People's Judge, and we can dine to your heart's content. All courtesy of Rob Sanders. Rocky Boyman tells me that these goat testicles are very tasty, and so I look after him for some reason. I don't know, Willy, I've never had those things. Would you eat a goat testicle? I would not

eat a goat testicle. That sounds like some new Joe Biden policy, you know. Maybe that's what they serve to the biological males in the women's locker rooms or something. I don't know, but either way, well, they're called the oysters of the mountains, so just I don't assume they're an oyster because they're goat testicles. Well, I don't think they served on the raw bar, Willie. I mean they do have a big raw bar. Oh No, I don't want to say that's where they served. The Rocky boy

whip them up, made a little butter, maybe a little chives. I don't want to look at the goat testicles and say I have two of those. I don't want that. All right, we're robo. I look forward to this big dinner and we'll see what happens. You're very easy to bet with. Yeah, I noticed, Willie. I guess next time, maybe I should have got you to spot me a few points or something, but I didn't ask for any I thought Daniel Cameron was gonna win, So it's on me. But I'm good for it. And uh, you know,

I owe you dinner. I Burt Travis dinner. I probably my dad dinner, even though we didn't officially bet. I was taunting him, telling Daniel Cameron was gonna win my dad big d Yeah, he hit an andy Son in his yard. It was horrible, but you know, I'll take everybody down there. We'll have a good time, and Waltz take good care of us. God bless America. Let's get some of those goat testicles as an appetizer. Rob Sanders, thank you very much. All right, take care

of Willy. Well, let's continue with more. I don't know how Rocky Boyman can eat those damn things, but he says they're tasty and they're moist. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WLW. The ambush came in the early morning hours. But this thing needs the world's friendliest plumbers. Robert Jones plumbing, Billy cunning in the Great American Beaten, bloodied, but unbowed. I'm not going to change my opinion on these important fundamental human rights issues.

But nonetheless, message has been sent. I'm not sure it's been received by the Republicans. We have coming up in about twenty five minutes. Gwen McFarlane been on about once twice a year. Love to have her on, wonderful lady. I have breakfast with her now and then first watch here in Kenwood. She's the chair of the Hamley County Democratic Party and she once said at a breakfast, you know, Willie, you kind of look like a Republican

and I kind of look like a Democrat. He's an African American. I said, well, I guess I kind of represented away Republican, which I like to think. I'm a conservative libertarian, not necessarily a Republican, and you represent the Democratic Party and in the counties around Hamlin County are illustrative of the shift the change. I'll fight like a warrior poet for unborn babies' lives.

I'm not going to change. I pray to God, I don't change, but nonetheless I'm not bringing with me on the right to life side large numbers of other voters who don't see it the way I see it at all. And I accept that I have some of the results from the region relative to state issue one. Butler County, you would think, is a rock ribbed Republican county, of course, led by Richard K. Jones, who

gets about seventy percent of the vote every time he runs. Relative to state issue won Butler County, where Donald Trump in twenty twenty got sixty one percent of the vote. On a statushe one abortion, it was fifty one forty nine in favor of abortion. So Butler County, a rock ribbed Republican county, voted in favor of abortion and in favor of marijuana, so a couple others. In Warren County, where Trump won sixty five percent of the vote, it was no on issue one, but it was only fifty three forty

seven. So as far as the no on abortion, it went from sixty five percent for Trump to fifty three percent no, so it lost twelve percentage points. And also in Claremont County, which voted for the Trumpster sixty seven percent. It was fifty two to forty eight no on issue one, so it was somewhat close. You run the city of Cincinnati, it was about seventy six percent on the abortion issue yes, and in Hamlety County it's about

sixty six percent. There's still thousands of votes yet to count, but nonetheless, it is obvious that politically, not morally, not religiously, but politically, abortion is a losing issue for Republicans and continues to be such, and it's not going to change. I'm not going to change my opinion. I doubt you're going to change your opinion. And I think it also hurt Daniel

Cameron to have abortion run against him. Glenn Youngkin in Virginia came up with fifteen plus three, which is fifteen weeks, which is when the unborn baby can feel pain with brain activities, et cetera. Fifteen weeks plus three. They lost the House and they kept the Senate based upon according to the pundits in the state of Virginia. According to pundits, it's because of abortion. Also, I brought this up with Rob Sanders. Daniel Cameron has a position

on abortion that has no exceptions exceptions for rape or incest. That means what a set. When those commercials ran at the end, which was the closing remarks of the Democratic Party and any basher, it was pretty obvious to me that most Kentuckians think that if a girl is raped or a victim of incest, which is of course rape, then she should have the right to abort her own baby created to buy the involvement of the rapist. And that cut

through and probably cost him two to three percentage points. So at the end, Daniel Cameron was up forty nine forty eight or forty eight forty seven, but it didn't pull the last week when that commercial hit with that teenage girl.

So sadly we live in different times. I know. I spoke to some of the Columbus politicians of great note at this point they're deciding of the next week or two what to do with State Issue one and State Issue two, which I'm going to bring up with Gwenn mcfarran in about fifteen minutes. On State Issue one, it's a constitutional amendment, which means the legislatures out, but does it make sense next year to come back again with something on

a constitutional amendment? Something to do with parental rights of one type, or the parents must be notified. If you want a replay of twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four, go ahead and do that, because that'll be an excuse for Planned Parenthood to spend another fifty to one hundred million dollars and slick

TV ads thinking they're back at it again. Just replay it. Likewise, on State Issue two, which is marijuana, that passed by a wider margin than abortion, every Southwest Ohio county voted in favor of marijuana, everyone including Claremont County and including Warren County. You would think Warren County would be extremely conservative, but in heavily democratic Hamblton County have a hard time saying that sixty five percent of the voters said yes on that issue, and the other counties

that surround Hambleton County all voted yes, including I might add Anderson Township quite conservative. In Warren County, legalizing recreational marijuana got fifty two percent of the vote Warren County. In Klarmauk County got fifty seven percent of the vote, and in Butler County got fifty four percent of the vote. And in Hamilton County got sixty five percent of the vote. So on an issue, when you lose the Democrats or win the Democrats in the City of Cincinnati and win

the Republicans in Warren County, that thing's going to pass. So we're going to have marijuana. And I urge the Columbus politicians don't do your natural instinct, which is to attack the will of the people. At some point within my own life, my own family, I'm not going to smoke marijuana. And I doubt I'm ever going to get an abortion. I doubt my wife is ever going to get an abortion. For those I know, I don't

know, I hope they don't, but it's up to them. We have to work within families and within faith and legally, why go back to the

wall to get your brains beating again? Now on the marijuana front, because it's a statute that's been enacted by the people, the legislature in Columbus can do almost anything subject to Supreme Court review, which is they can abdicate the statute and reverse it completely, or they can change the time period, they can change who gets the licenses, all of which would be tested in court. And I would urge them at this point. And I think Mike DeWine

I put a call into him. He's going to come on later this week. Has said before that on both these issues that the people will speak, and when they speak, that's it. And John Eustad, the Secretary of State, and I think Frank LeRose all say the same thing. If I hate with every fiber in my body what's happened in this country in the area of abortion, hate it, but at some point you must accept reality and

not try to change that reality. Work within families, work within the culture, work within faith, to try to convince women not to get an abortion and kill their unborn, healthy baby. Try to convince them, and if it fails, it's on them. I wish it was different. I wish somehow that every baby was loved and respected and born. And a pundit said to me, what do we do with all those criminal cases now in which

the second count of killing someone involved the killing of the unborn baby. If the unborn baby is not a baby, and it's say microcosm of various sales put together, can those individuals who were convicted of killing a mother who was pregnant still be in prison when abortion is now a sacrament in the state of Ohio that is to be determined. Maybe later on the week I'll get on James Bogan or Mike Allen to talk about that their perspective on what do you

do with all those convictions? So let's continue. After one o'clock today we'll be Gwenn McFarlane, the chair of the Amity County Democrat Party. And she has said before she represents Democrats as well as I represent Republicans. I say no, I represent conservatives and libertarians who tend to be Republicans. But for those who think, let's put it back on the ballot again, let's go through this again and get beat about the face and the head again politically,

please don't be stupid. Let's continue. We never stop. We simply can you getting ready of course Sunday for the Houston Texans in town with C. J. Stroud and so many others, the voters that people have given us politically, within the environment, what the law should be in these areas. Accept it. Give the Caesar the things that are Caesar, and the God the things that are God. If that's Caesar's rules, so be. It doesn't mean it has to dominate your life. Let's continue twelve fifty three.

Home of Your Bengals is Radio seven hundred. Wow. Attention small business owners. Your local chamber can help you save money small business owners. The website cran that's grand enter it now my Billy cunning into Great America. And we heard from Rob Sanders Kenton, kind of prosecutor. He's co chair of the Daniel Cameron campaign and drinking heavily. He has remarked that they didn't see it coming. But some person that did see it coming was the chair of the

Hamley County Democratic Party. And you might recall for many years the Democrats were in the hinterlands in the wilderness wilderness. They were lost and under Sakoweethy and Tim Burke. About about seven eight years ago and knew a chairman arose out of Springfield township, Gwen McFarlane, and she's led the Democratic Party to victory after victory and glory after glory. Woke up this morning doing the macarena.

I was told Gwen McFarlane welcomed again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Gwen, you said something interesting to me this morning when I gave you a quick call to see if you can come on about your feet hit the ground. You had a smile on your face and you were doing the twist. Can you explain to me your feelings this Monday afternoon? What are your feelings?

Well, you know, Bill, you are absolutely correct. It was kind of nice to wake up at seven versus six o'clock in the morning, and as I shared with you, getting competition with a couple fade games with folks from around the world, and that kind of helped me get back up on my feet and do the salsa dance. Okay, yes, well tell me. Because conservatives, I call myself a conservative libertarian, I'm not a Republican. I'm a conservative libertarian byther we voted yes on state issue too. Of

course I've voted know a state issue one. But why do you think Hamilton County? And I might add Anderson Township. Anderson Township voted for abortion, as did Butler County. What are the Republicans missing? What can you teach the Republicans about winning elections? Well, one of the things that I think is very important is to clarify and the rhetoric that is giving out misinformation. It was not just about abortion, it was about reproductive healthcare for families and

women and to reable to access healthcare, reproductive healthcare. And I think what I know what happened is there was this misperception and all of a sudden, our elected officials and Columbus focused on the word abortion, and that's not what

it was all about. So when we were able to filter through that and help individuals understand that it wasn't about just abortion, it was about reproductive health care, and you know, and I'm really disappointed at our elected and I have to say this though, are elected Republicans and Columbus who were part of this whole misinformation process and not really helping individuals learn what the real facts were. But it's over. I think the voters overwhelmingly said that they want reproductive

health care and access to services such as reproductive health care. They do not want extremists coming in from out of the state with dark money to try to tell us what to do in here, you know, in Ohio. And you know, so I'm so glad and hope that the voters have stated. The voters have spoken, and I think it is time for us to move on. I agree all right now on the issue of the nuts and bolts and at the local level. Well, one thing we Thine and Tim Burke

did was deal with the big issues. I'm told that Gwen McFarlane, you're the chair of the Democratic Party Hamlet County. You deal at the precinc level the nuts and the bolts of direct communication. What can the Republicans learn about the nuts and bolts of winning elections that you know? Do you want to tell Russell Mark, the chair of the Republican Party, what to do the

next time? Well, you know, I'm not going to tell Russell what to do, because I'm sure Russell's and I believe he's doing the best job, and he's doing a good job. But I will tell you that you could never and should never lose contact with your voters, with your constituents, all the way down to the precinc execs, down to the neighbors in your neighborhood. You should always be accessible, available, and be there to answer

any questions. One of the things that I learned sometime time ago was when you are running or decide you want to run for an office, I look for a person who has served their community in some capacity as a servant leader. People get to know who you are then and they get to get a sense of what you're all about. And that helps engage and empower people to want to work with you and work with you and help you get elected.

But you cannot be a candidate that shows up, makes promises, broken promises, and nobody sees you again until it's time for you to run again. Are you anxious NIX? Then? Yeah, it does. And I spoke to some legislative leaders in Columbus this morning and one or two of them said,

let's go back again. And I said, if you go back again to abortion and put something else on the ballot as a constitutional amendment a year from now, which, by the way, you need about half million valid signatures, you got to collect about three quarters of a million signatures, and it would be a monstrous undertaking. But I think the voters have spoken the same thing on marijuana, that the voters gave marijuana more of a thumbs up

than even abortion. And for those Republicans in Columbus who say, well, we can now change that it's a statute, how dangerous would it be for politicians to ignore what voters want to be done and to try to eliminate or work around the status you wanted to. Wouldn't that be dangerous? It's extremely dangerous, and it's and if you have that type of mentality, you have not you're not listening to the voice of the people. And the voice of

the people have spoken loud and clear. The voice of the people spoke when they put together at the last minute this August election, and then the August election proved the voice of the people were speaking, so they didn't stop there, and they went on and went into November. The voice of the people have spoken, and it's time to move on and look at those look at what we can do to better improve not only are local needs in our communities,

that also are state and national needs. So I think it's political suicide for them to even feel that way, because they're only making it much more challenging for themselves and it may cause them to lose votes as well. Might make it easier for you, but it make it easier for us, Yeah, for me as a Democrat, for the Democrats to get more more elected spots at the state and local level and national level, at least in my lifetime maybe yours. Also, you're a much younger lady than I am.

Pace well, when was the last time city Council had nine Democrats, no Charter Rights, no Republicans. Has that ever happened? You know, Bill, that's a great question you asked, because that was in my mind last night about twelve o'clock when we were leaving the Board of Election, I said, when was the last time this happened? So it's been we haven't had enough time to research it, but it's going to be interesting to see when

that happened, if it ever happened. And so I'm just you know, when I look at the election of people spoke, there were lots of people who were in the field running and it narrowed down to the top nine. And so the people have spoken, and we're working through in the City of Cincinnati, not just at the state level, because you know, we had corruption way up at the state level, but we all had a small mount

here in the county. But we're through that. So we have younger people coming on board who are listening to all the people, which is very, very very important. Gwenn MacFarlane, chair of the Hamley County Democratic Party. Liz Keating lost you made the political move to only run nine for nine positions on City Council. Normally the Democrats were put up twelve to fifteen the Republican's charter rights. There were sometimes twenty five people ran. How and you're like

that you were nine and zero. Why did you make the decision to run nine and nine alone? We made the decision based on what those individuals brought to the table and the job that they were already doing. So when you look at we don't just make a decision based on who a person is or who they're related to. We look at what they bring to the table and how have they served our community? And that's how. And there were some

very very critical, vetted questions that those individuals had to respond to. How they responded to those questions determined what the outcome was going to be when it came to down when it came down to endorsing particular candidates. And Liz Keating, do you have any empathy for her? She's a fine woman, She's a wife and a mother, a Keating family. She got hammered. I mean, what even close? Do you have some empathy for Liz Keating? Yes, definitely I do. She is a very nice person. She and

I have served on some committees together, she's a very nice person. And I have empathy, yes I do. But she ran a good race, you know, she ran a good race. Spent a lot of money and I have to give that to her. Yes, and she spent some money. She spent some money. People she's rich. Well we are some sort, you know. But again she You know, the people have spoken.

And when you look at issue one, when you look at Issue two which you brought up, when you look at the railroad, which was you know, a whole in Issue twenty two as well, you know, the people have spoken. There was information that was given to the individuals, the people, the voters. They took that information process and then they made their vote.

Now you're the chair of the Hamley County Democratic Party. You made a decision to put vote yes on twenty two on the sample ballot, which is powerful as far as Democratic voters showing up and putting that in their hands. There were a lot of big time Democrats very much against Issue twenty two, and there were a bunch of big time Democrats in charge, so they said, yes, we need twenty two. Why did you make the decision to put that on the ballot itself? You handed out to people a sample ballot.

We endorsed it because it was the right thing to do because right now, individuals are really on twenty two. They're just looking at what they can do to improve the quality of life in their community. And we voted, We did some deep diving into Issue twenty two and felt that it was the right thing to do. And when you looked at it, and fifty two percent of the voters in Hamilton County said yes because it was a way for the county to bring in some revenue that was going to enhance the support the

infrastructure of the city. And so that's why we endorsed it. So you know, from my perspective, and when you look at issue we're talking about Issue twenty two, aren't we yes? People just what did you say? Now you know the railroad is twenty two? People just wanted to spend the people trust it in a sense what the Democratic Party did not necessarily some of the politicians, but nonetheless you had people like Charlie Luke on on one side, then you had the NAACP on the other side, and so it was

kind of like strange bedfellows. Lastly, what does this mean going forward? The big race next year? Gwen McFarlane is going to be the prosecutor's office. Do you have a candidate to run against Melissa Powers? At this point, we have a candidate who has has silent her petition and that's Connie Connie Tellers. And so that that's where we are today. You know that, that's all I can say for today and the filing deadlines not for another couple

I think three or four months away. Well, Gwen McFarland, all I can say is you've taken the Hemy County Democratic Party where it's never been before. It's kind, it's kind, it's unbelievable. Well, and I also have to share with you too, we believe that working together, it doesn't matter what you're party is whenever possible because it's about the people, not the

party. And you will see that as well when we look at Issue twenty four, where the voters needed to talk about and make a decision about affordable tax increase affordable housing tax increases. So the Republican Party, Mock and myself agreed and supported that that issue. So that's where we were working together as for the people and not for the party. Well Gren McFarland, congratulations,

Soakoweethy would be proud of what's happened to the Democratic Party. It was in the woods in the hinterland for a long time, but now it's dominant on top of the mountain with lightning bullets coming out of each of your fingers, and right now it's incredible. Goodness, what damn the County Democratic Party has done. It's just it's unbelievable. All right, Gwen, congratulations from you about the people. Yep, thank you again. It's about the people,

not the party. It's also you know, teamwork makes the dream work and that's where I come from. Well, Gwen, let's get back together again to have breakfast maybe at first watch at some point and pick up the piece looking forward to it. I'd love to do that. I can hardly wait when my people are call your people. Oh yes, thank you, thank you, Gwen mcfaroie, thank you. There sure is. She's the architect of the perhaps the greatest success the Amiti Ganty Democratic Party's ever had, and

that's Gwen McFarlane of Springfield Township. Let's continue. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WLW. Meanwhile, locked high inside a tower because of her beauty.

Hello piet and I'm broadcasting say those are the words of the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris what Joe Biden I'm saying it right now will not be the nominee of the Democrat Party. He will

Stage of Wall Street Journal had a poll showing two thirds of Democrats say Joe Biden is too old to run again. Are you prepared to be commander in chief? Yes, I am, if necessary. And by the way, well, if she doesn't make it, then who's the Democrats going to run? I guess Kevin Newsom or

Retchen Witmer or maybe Andy Basher of Kentucky. Well, speaking of that, what about your reaction after yesterday's elections around the Trice State, especially in the state, Well we go, let's go state of Ohio, Let's go Butler County. Issue one yay or nay? They said, ya, yay, nay. Your thoughts on one passing? You give the sezear the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God. The Republican Party needs to know your role. Shut your mouth, work in families and faith and

assisting women and girls that need help. But the abortion issue is a loser. Time after time after time, bring up more crap stuff around the end, you know what, it'll be crap again.

Cameron. All the Republicans won, but him and he Bascher ran a great campaign. He had about four or five times the money, and he overcame Daniel Cameron, as you know, with you and I on Monday to talk about it. And Rob Sanders is still covered in blood and stitches from his support of Daniel Cameron, who might just as horrified about it as everybody else. There's chance, Chazz, he's running the railroad. He's going to be

Thank you Walmart can track a pair of socks there, You guys can't track a train car that's got a dangerous chemical in it for half a year to get one of the little little like engineer hats.

most of those people when I lay down the big wheel? What about the library and the zoo passing? I think the threat by Fane Maynard to release the animals if the zoo Laby went down was a factor. Can you imagine Fiona Tucker Babe Fritzy at all roaming around the Clifton area. There you go, now, I keep him fed? Yeah? Zoo? Yeah? Do they still have list tigers and bears? Oh? My? Do they still

law. If liberals don't want to have babies, they may demographically work themselves out of American politics. They don't reproduce enough. I say reproduce is what I say. Well, I saw zillions of vote no signs all over the tri State and about maybe two yes. So how does that work? People voted? Bengals are back at work today, get ready for Sunday's battle against

about seven o'clock Rocks and lovely Toledo. I spent time in Toledo. Don't give me that look. I didn't. I had something in my eye. But the fact matter is Toledo went downhill. When I left Toledo in nineteen seventy eight, after four years of law school and three years of Schnarf, Schnorff and Schnorf, I left in glory to come back to Hamletan County. Since then, Toledo the Glass City has gone straight downhill for a second straight

week. Ohio State is number one in the College Football playoff rankings. What about the Cheaters? Michigan is a third Kansas coach Bill Self has a new five year contract extension that's basically a lifetime deal. He'll make thirteen million this season.

Now, now we've got more Joey Vado, give me more. Ross Atkins, the Toronto Blue Jays general manager, said yesterday at the GM meetings in Scottsdale, the team has done enough background and scouting work on Joey Vado that he believes

that the Blue Jays are a fit. The feeling is mutual, so Joey Vado will be a Blue Jay. Well, I wonder do the Reds play the Blue Jays that? I don't know. Northern Kentucky University's gonna norse up. They're going to expand their sports offerings in the beautiful Highland Heights to six new programs. Men's volleyball, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's triathlon, and women's stunt will all be added to the roster. What's what women's

stunt? I knew you were going to ask me that, so hang on a minute. I got this here from Channel five and the one the only George Vogel who's retired, but he called me. Uh. The university stunt program a discipline of cheer that features two programs competing head to head and a forty five to sixty minute game. What kind of game is it? Kentucky? Is the It's is only the second program in Kentucky. What kind of game is it? It's called a discipline of cheer that I don't know.

Drinking I know. So they're going to have twenty two varsity programs now and it's the first time that the NKU has expanded. It's an athletic department since nineteen ninety seven. Saying cheer is going to compete in a game somebody, somebody, He'll send us about what it is that is. Don't you know what I mean? You should know? That's what I just told you what

it was again with the unit. When when the university's stunt program Stunt a discipline of cheer that features two programs competing head to head in a forty five to sixty minute game. What's the game that I don't know? I don't what do you expect me to sit over here and you know everything? Not me. You're ignorant. You're the lawyer, You're stupid. You're what I'm

about, the sports guy, You're the sports guy. Also, Nick Hagland, the Pride to Lakota West, has underwent successful surgery to repair that torn hamstring. The procedure was performed a couple of days ago in London, England. Really, how about that? At Princess Grace Hospital in London, world renowned surgeons worked on him. He's going to miss the course the remainder of the postseason and begin his rehab, but immediately upon returning to CVG. Well

that's good. So there you go. Look it up and you got to or somebody will call us or something. What's it called stunt stunt? I mean, look it up here. I like to know what's going on. You know everything around here? Stunt ask lance, he knows everything stunt. I'll ignore it on the most of it ain't. That's the truth. I got it. I put in stunt cheer still what it is? Yeah,

how about this? This is one of the fastest growing female sports in America okay, and incorporates skills derived from cheerleading, an exciting head to head game action between two teams who execute skills, base routines and various categories partner stunts, jumps and tumbling, pyramids and losses and team routines. There you got it. Well, see that's what I just mean. I just told you that. And then they probably have judges or something to figure out and then

the team with the most points or whatever wins. I don't know what it is. You just jump around a little bit and the National Zoo's going to lose their pandas to China, that's a problem China. Once there's your first step right there? Well still war three. It's called an NC DOUBLEA emerging sport for women, right, But do women exist? I thought we're all unisex, we're all a morphous. Who have you thought about becoming a woman? No? Have you every now and then? I do? You're weird

and I think women have the advantage. It's weird on me in later days. Women, but I'm not sure my wife would agree. But I have great respect for women. Amen, so do I. If I came back, I'd be a woman. In fact, I understand women, and women understand me. Sega's that it in sports? I think? So see, you learn something new every day on this shunt stunt Never heard of it. I guess that's a kind of a generic term instead of calling a cheerleading But

entuck, you Kay has the only other program in the state. They'll be playing him a lot. Then correct segment, give me out of the student's report, Willie and utter of a beautiful day here at the tri State and who day, who day? Who they think going to beat them Bengals and go Reds and Stunt. We leave you with the immortal words of the stud Report. Thank you, Willie Oh who was that Rob Butcher? An unnamed

Red's official. Let's continue with more my comments and reverberations continue. There's a chance I'm gonna have on Greg Landsman Congressman in the next day or two to talk about the issues including Israel, Liz Keating being voted off, and now they're all Democrats down there first time ever on seven hundred wulw bad Billy Cunningham, as is my desire, sometime around two o'clock when I'm with you, I'm only with you six days a week. I'm surprised I take off on

Saturdays that I want to hear from you in the legendary fast break. And we did this for the past several days at two o'clock in the afternoon, so that the American people could be heard about how you're going to vote on one to two twenty two, the Zoo, the Library, Daniel Cameron, etc. And between Sloaney and I and Eddie and the Rock try to cover

this issue as well as we can left right, middle and center. Today, I had on Gwen McFarlane, the chair of the Hamley County Democratic Party, seeking to teach Republicans in a sense, how they keep winning these elections. And in Butler County, which is rock ripped Republican, where Sheriff Richard K. Jones gets what seventy percent of the vote whenever he runs for reelection, majority of citizens and Butler County voted for these abortion rights plus more.

It wasn't just about abortion, a bunch of other stuff, and they voted yes. And in Warren County and Claremont County, rock ribbed areas, it was like forty eight percent, so it was close either way. But in Hamlety County and all the urban counties controlled by Democrats, the vote was between sixty five and seventy percent. I haven't seen Cayhoga County, but I would imagine if Hamley County was sixty six percent yes on issue one, I would

imagine Kyhoga County was even more than sixty six percent on issue one. And so when time after time after time, so called Republicans are informed as to what the American people want, despite the best efforts to educate. Otherwise, at some point you must accept a verdict which is not desirable in your mind, not desirable in my mind whatsoever. However, it's not where the American people are, and we can continue to beat our head against the wall.

Act thing is, if we're going to have a fundamental change by working around the edges a little bit of abortion, or around the edges of marijuana, whatever it might be, what good does it do At the end of the day. The people have spoken, including suburbanites. When I think of areas like Blue Ash, Montgomery, and Evendale, and I think about Sycamore Township, those areas voted for abortion, those areas voted for the legalization of marijuana.

Those areas voted in the last election, believe it or not, for Joe Biden. And those are Republican areas much less than Democratic ones, huh. And so we're watching a realignment of sorts around the issue of abortion. And you know, give to Caesar, give the government to things that are government, and to God the things that are God. And this is something that I can only hope that those who have voted yes on these issues understand what they're doing. Maybe they do. Maybe they don't. I know we

have Dave and Dayton. We have three lines open. If you call now seven nine, seven thousand, and quickly your take. The legendary fast break is underway with Ted McKay, Dave and Dayton will be first seven four nine, seven thousand or pound seven hundred and get you on quickly your comments and rotate the calls. Glenn Youngkin has a high approval rating in Virginia, it's as high as sixty percent. As a Republican, he's a one termer,

as all the governors in Virginia are one termers. And the last two or three weeks of the election, the Democrats hooked on the idea fifteen plus three is no good. Fifteen is fifteen weeks when there's brain activity in the unborn baby. US rape in says life of the Mother, and that was soundly rejected in Virginia, which isn't exactly a blue state. It's kind of a purple state. But maybe the world is not as I envision it. Maybe

the world is not as you and I would want it to be. Sometimes in life you got to deal with the way things are, not the way things ought to be, not the way things could be. Let's go to the legendary fast break. You can give me your name, first name, where you're calling from, and also your take on the election. Give everyone about thirty seconds to forty five seconds, beginning with David Dayton, the Home of the Gems, the Flyers, and more. David Dayton, give me

your take on the results of the election. Willie. It's an honor to be on your show, and I appreciate all your efforts to keep Ohio straight. But unfortunately we just voted us down to the shallow end of the gene pool. We're now in an era that feels good. Just do it. There's no brief percussions. All you got to do is claim mental health and

you're good. How do you like the idea right now? Dave? I read in some remarks that let the liberals, let the Democrats kind of abort themselves out of existence, because good families with faith have babies, have children, pass on the values of a culture. But if the Democrats and other according to these stories, I read the loathsome left wants to abort themselves into oblivion, let them have it. I saw another thing, more or less

racial, that fifty percent of the babies aborted are black babies. And if that's the way it is, they're committed Democrats, so be it. They're going to abort themselves out of existence. Your comments on them, Well, my BLM sign is babies lives matter. And I have five wonderful children,

three grand babies from them. And we had them in our twenties early twenties when we were both still in college trying to get along, and we were broke and working two jobs just try to make ends meet, and the pregnancies were of a major inconvenience in terms of what we're trying to accomplish and financially. But I know it feels it. I know that there's not one second that I thank God that I have these these wonderful children. And it's just

it's a shame people. You know, they can have a coach or something, have inappropriate relations with a girl on his soccer team or whatever, and just without the parents knowing, just shuffler off to an abortion clinic and no one knows the better. It's just that's that's the future. And Ohio is now California. I appreciate great American All we do is fight like crazy, but at the end of the day. You know, I've had many criminal

cases in which I thought the jury got it wrong. But at the end of the day, I can't as a lawyer overrule or override the jury and say I don't accept that. Therefore, i'mnominna act as if it didn't happen. At some point? What stayed after state? You know, Kansas, Kentucky, and OHI aren't the most liberal states in the country. And when citizens in those states say abortion on demand through birth and repeatedly, you have to pay attention. Let's go to Earl and Anderson and then many others and

Randy and Germany down. Earl, give me a full report. You got forty five seconds. Give me your take on the election. Okay, Bill one Issue one voted was voted in. I thought it was going to win issue which I agree with because I think every woman in this country in the world have their right concerning their own body and make those decisions as men have done so past decades. Issue too, I didn't. I voted for it,

which I am against being a veteran, but times have changed. The railroad, I think it's nobody knows what the hell is going on with that. Well, you know right now, I'd say this earl that in states that have there's ups and downs that legalizing marijuana, it's out there anyway. There's hundreds of thousands of Ohio and smoking pot every day. And in states that it's happened, I think Ohio is state number twenty four that have done

it. And the great majority of use of opiods and percocet and other drug relieving pharmaceuticals go down precipitously. And if some adult male or woman wants to smoke a little bit of hippie lettuce on the back deck, it's the sun's going down instead of having a martini, that's okay with me. I'd rather not do it. I would encourage people around me not to smoke, but if they do smoke, that's on them, not me. It's an adult decision. And early, I wish you the best. Let's continue, go

to Randy and then Mike. Randy in Germantown, give me a full report. Oh man, it's been a it's been a rough time, hasn't it. Eating bloodied and bad, my goodness. I mean, where do you start? Where do you really start? Issue on? Truthfully, I think a lot of people were misinformed. And I'll disagree with your last caller a little bit. I think it's our fault that people were misinformed on what it was going. I think I have a lot of money, Randy. The

other side, I know they did well. Do we have a lot of voices? I don't think, and I don't think we use them correctly. I don't think that neighbors spoke the neighbors. I just don't think that we did. I think I don't think we do that anymore. I think that we all live in social media and and we don't get out and tell people what it really is without without it becoming an argument. Let me ask you

the big question. Are you ready for the big question? I'd love I spoke to a lawmaker this morning who said it's time for us now to go back to the ballot box and abortion and cut around the edges with another constitutional amendment that were to install parental rights or put something in there about transgender rights. I said, sir, if you do that, the other side will be joyful and filled with glee. They're going to raise another fifty million dollars

and they're going to make this They're back again. It's all about abortion, and the average voter is going to be fed up with constantly voting on this, and the average American is going to would you encourage politicians to let it go for the time being, for the next five to ten years, let it go and see what happens. I would say yes, And I'll tell you why. You know, I live in Germantown. I don't know if you know where that's from. A longtime listener to everyone on seven hundred except

for Scottsloan, so gave you up a long time ago. But regard us, we had a really big election here and it was a local school board election and we won. We, I mean the Conservatives in the way that we won that election, and I think that speaks larger volumes than the other issues. So I would say, yeah, I think we should put aside a couple of issues and focus on some things more local to where you are, because the local issues are going to eventually lead to fixing the larger issues.

We got to fix local. We have to fix where you live. Yeah. At this point, the hearts and minds, Uh, I'm never going to change my view on abortion until I doubt it. I can't conceive of it, and so therefore you work with with groups that try to discourage it, you work with giving options to women that are trapped, You do other things to kind of change the hearts and minds. So those directly affected, and as far as going to a big, multi million dollar voting thing,

I'm done with it. Let's work and we're going to ask you this because what you just said is true. I'm never going to change my mind on abortion. I'm not. I am where I am and I'm going to be where I'm going to be. But I am also willing to listen to someone else who has a different opinion without it becoming an argument. And that cannot be said from the other side. Yeah, in my opinion, yea, And in my opinion, I'm right there wrong, and they will answer

for that in this world or the next. And they have to look at God Almighty and say this is what I did, and just deal with the consequences and in the meantime we move on. I wish life was done, and I think people are going to start answering sooner than they realize whatever that is, they got to deal with it. But I think that's a baby from the moment of conception to natural death. I was on a plane recently

and in front of me were two twin little girls. They couldn't have been more than six months old, beautiful, And I'm thinking, how can someone look at a sonogram and kill that little girl? To me, it's it's an intifada. To me, it's ridiculous. To me, it's a crime. It's awful. But other Americans, the majority, by the way, feel completely differently. That's sort of a growth, or it's a tumor,

it's a cyst. It's a combination of cells that has no rights. It doesn't have an elimate to ask you, really, because if I get off this phone and I don't ask you this question, my wife will be mad at me all day. And I know that you've been married a long time and you don't want to have to deal with that. Do you really believe that they won fairly? Legally? Only up and up? But do you really believe that the majority of Ohio voters I've lived here all my life,

same as you, while you're from Covington, but will allow it? Do you really believe that the majority of Ohio voters agree with abortion? Do you really, Randy, I'll say this. I do not believe that, if all the facts are known and the consequences are revealed, that any adult who's a mother, a father, a grandmother, a grandfather, of brother or sister, a son or a daughter could look out of sonogram and say, you know what, that kid needs to be killed. I would like to

think, Ohioans don't feel such things. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WW need electrical work, it's your Homer office. Then call the electrical pros at Craftsman. Vote, they order what they want, and in this case, they got what they asked for. Hello, I'm broadcasting Rocky. When Joe Biden cannot run because he's mentally incompetent, that's going to be the leader of the United States of America. She's the next Potus. Get Ready, rock

According to Brian Combs, from an township in the east, the Butler County in the north to Harrison in the west, we have Hippie Lettuce, abortion on demand through birth and more. What happened? America loves abortion, Willie. That's

all I can say. I mean, it's just time and time again, whether it's this state, whether it's you know, you think rock rib conservative states like Kentucky and Mississippi that anytime anything that goes on a ballot that's going to restrict abortion, it goes down in flames. So yeah, I'm right now, William torn between trying to understand how to me it's another example of a consequence free environment that America seems to love right now, right right now,

and I talk about it on my show. I'm sure you do on your You can go into a store and steal something, you can smash a store front, nothing happens, at least don't arrest you, you don't get prosecuted, you don't get thrown in jail. Consequence free environment. The abortion

issue is the exact same thing. So on the one hand, I'm trying to figure out how we got to this point in society where we where women are cheering for the you know, of abortion being allowed, but then also on the other side, trying to understand how this albatross called abortion continues to hang around the Republicans next and lose election after election, and if we keep losing elections, there won't be anything to stop any of the other bad issues

that are coming down the pipe. So I'm kind of torn between both sides here. I don't know where you are. I'm thinking, sometimes the message is delivered and one of the worst things a person can do is not accept the message. In other words, we've been told repeatedly. You might recall back in the good old days, in the late sixties, early seventies, Cincinnati was the place that began the right to life movement with the Wilkies,

and this has been the home of it for fifty years. But guess what, in the last fifty years, the electorate has changed a little bit, completely different, and the message has been delivered. Will the message be received? I just spoke to Mike DeWine a little bit off the air. He's going to join us tomorrow at two o'clock and the big question to him will

be this, And Segment wants the answer to this question. Huh. There are lawmakers in Columbus who want to go back next year to abortion again, again and again and cut around the edges, maybe parental notification, maybe showing a sonogram, maybe a three day delay, whatever it might be. With another constitutional amendment, another one, and thinking how many times can you be

beaten about the face and head and not realize where it's coming from. At this point, I remember, give to Caesar the things that are Caesar, and to God the things that are God. And the civil governments have determined through the ballot box that abortion on demand is the law of the land. Maybe fifty five forty five, but whatever it is, Rock, do you accept the message from the American people or do you want to change the message? Go back again and get your head bashed in again? What do you

want? What don't you want? Well, that's exactly right. I have to have to kind of choose between my own personal beliefs, which is, I'm against a portion, but on the other side, from a political standpoint,

how many hills are we going to keep dying on here? And look, if there's other issues that Republicans care about, which is, you know, with stopping the destruction of the southern border, stopping the destruction of cities, stopping the destruction of our children's minds and schools, you know, allowing women to compete in supports all these other issues. If we want to stop

these issues, we've got to be in a position of power. We've got to be in a position of where we're elected where we can stop these things. And if we keep going down this road, we won't be in a position to stop all these other horrible atrocities. So do we do we pump the brakes here and say wait a minute here, let's we just leave this issue alone here and let's go hard on these other issues that Americans seem to

really care about. Or do we keep dying on this hill. The activists want to keep dying because they have rent to pay, they have leases, they have buildings they've purchased, they got big executive director salaries, and so the activists can't make a lot of money, a lot of money keep it going. In other words, planned parented would say, I spoke to Gwenn MacFarlane, the chair of the Democratic Party. She's more than happy to have

abortion back on the ballot again next year and the year after that. Yeah, bring it on. Yeah, I mean that's the only thing maybe moving forward is that now this won't be again the albatross around any Republican running from here on out in Ohio around the neck unless it keeps getting brought up. Unless in politicians, you know, want to go back and try to reput

it on the ballot. I don't agree with it. I despise it, But at what point, again, do we keep getting our teeth kicked in to where we can't stop other terrible things from happening, can't be in a position of power to do something about it. Would changed. The world has changed, and we can accept the change. And I say go internally in the faith and fai families and the women and girls that need help help them.

Pregnancy centers are going to be there and work on the hearts and minds of women believe it or not, women have babies and not men, and just kind of work on the idea that we're going to help out unborn babies survive. And one pundit said, well, liberals are killing themselves at the end of the day. Yeah, that won't be enough around because of abortion,

which they consider to be a sacrament. Well, I had someone that I think is pretty smart and who is an avid pro life or say, if some people don't care about their own kids, why should we care about them? You know? I mean that's kind of the thought. It's like we're fighting to save the lives of people that their parents would just get rid

of them. But I think this is I think you're right in that you's got to try to get if you want, if you're a pro life and you want to get it back to that, I think you got to look at it as this is like a twenty maybe thirty year process to get it back. It's not going to happen in the next election cycle. It's not

going to happen next year or the next two years or five years. But slowly start building the foundation of why life is important, why you know, try to help through the church and all this sort of thing and get it back, but know that it's going to take a couple of decades maybe if ever. It's not going to happen overnight. No. And what we have against that thought are abortion pills. It used to be a terrible circumstance and go to planned parenthoid, get in line, put your heels in the stirrups,

terrible pain. Here we go, dismember the baby away we go now quickly. You got planned b which is after unprotected sex two to five days after take that pill that'll take care of it. Or abortion pills on demand through the postal service delivered to your home and you have to deal with some discomfort on top of it. I guess the toilet as the baby comes out.

But nonetheless that's where it's headed. And ultimately we're not going to have the world has changed and we must accept that or keep losing at the at the polling places. And then I said to Mike Dwine off the air, and I'm going to talk to him tomorrow about this. He was just elected by like a margin of plus twenty percent, and there's no person more associated with right to life than Mike Dwine. But it wasn't the primary focusing issue.

There were others, and he was smart enough to not make it a primary candidate. He didn't when others did. You know, Daniel Cameron made it a pretty big part of his campaign. He really did, and I think that cost him in even in Kentucky. Even in Kentucky. It wasn't Trump and his endorsement that often. It was it was, you know, going hardline on abortion. I think most Americans say that if you're raped and you get pregnant, most Americans say you should have an abortion. Daniel Cameron

said no exceptions for rape or incest. And they had that one effective. That's against that, that's against ninety percent of Americans. At this stage of the game. It is I'm in the ten percent, but that's different segment.

keep up a lot. But do we have any hope? I'm not sure. No, we don't rock and rock. We don't have any hope. I don't think so. In other words, go go back into the forest, into the caves, and come back again in ten years. It's all I can tell you. Any politician wanted to put that back on the

ballot should have their political head examined, should be destroyed.
