Transcript

America, welcome this great Tuesday afternoon in the tri State. Of course, this is Super Tuesday in which there is a very great likelihood that the American people will vote for Donald Trump to be the nominee of the Republican Party. Of course, our own Super Tuesday in Ohio will not take place until the

nineteenth, about two weeks from now. But until then, the Supreme Court has issued a procureum opinion reversing the Colorado Supreme Court's decision upholding the decision of an individual Secretary of State named g. Griswold to remove Donald Trump from the ballot, and the course this is an authoritarianism at its best. I watched

her this morning on some of the morning talk shows. It is truly unbelievable that she claims, she continues to claim that Soda, Mayor and Kagan and Jackson are all wrong, the far left wing liberals on the Supreme Court are all wrong, and that she's right, and that she unilaterally can decide it's the secretary of state to take someone off the ballot run for the presidency in a federal office, and the Supreme Court's decision. I think nine Zip was

fairly certain that she can't do that. But of course she can never admit wrongdoing. She is an authoritarianism that wants to impose her will. And the great John Kenneth Blackwell Ken Blackwell is with the Public Interest Legal Foundation. They filed an amikas brief on the marriage with the US Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court accepted the viewpoints of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. And once again Ken Blackwell of Xavier University, former mayor of the City of Cincinnati, former

Secretary of State in the state of Ohio. Ken Blackwell, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Ken, how are you, hey, Bill. It's good to be with you, brother. And let me just tell you that Secretary of Colorado Ginas. I think she must have fallen and bumped her he I mean, she is just She's not only out in the left field,

she is in fact just pure crazy. You know. Look, just election, it's about I think it's about whether or not we will preserve our constitutional republic or whether we will surrender through an authoritarian strain in the American body politic. And therefore, I am glad that the left leaning justices on the Supreme Court, I mean not just left leaning, almost damn near Marxist justice of the Supreme Court hadn't so gone so far crazy that they, in fact

would embrace the nonsense that the Secretary of State of Colorado was offering. You know, can you you spent eight years as Ohio Secretary of State. Could you imagine you saying unilaterally that someone has found an affiday but alleging that Bill Clinton should not have been on the ballot because of his disregard of his oath

of office, engaging in disreputable behavior in the oval office. And you, Ken Blackwell, will take it upon yourself to make sure that the Ohioans of the American people cannot have him again in office, that he showed himself unworthy of the office, he engaged in conduct which gave aiden comfort of the enemy under the fourteenth Amendment, and that I, Ken Blackwell, here by declare that Bill Clinton shall not run for president. Could you imagine even thinking about

such? I can't imagine that Bill, you know, follow savage would have just come out of his crave and grabbed me by the doat and shook me and asked me, have you just lost your mind? Look? Here's the reality. We in fact, in about two hundred and fifty years. We are the greatest constitutional republic in all of human history. And that just drives the radical left crazy. And they are doing everything that they can possibly do

to deconstruct our constitutional republic. And one of the things that they haven't anticipate paid it is that we will fight back. We're not going to let them do this. The other issue percolating the end of April is the immunity claims. And you know, one might say whether it was right or wrong. Donald Trump, as the sitting president, took an oath of office to follow

and to enforce federal law and to support and defend the Constitution. In his mind, many told him that in Georgia there were severe irregularities with voting. It was his duty, it was his right to look into whether or not federally there was violation of federal law and that individuals had lost their ability to vote, and he had a duty to do that as the president, as the chief law enforcement officer in the country. Now, you might have been

wrong in that. He might have been right, we don't know. But it turned out that now he's being charged with crimes in Atlanta, in Georgia and Fulton County that it's his duty as the president to faithful execute the laws, including voting laws. And so when he said got together some individuals and said go find eleven thousand and seven hundred and eighty votes, that's what I want you to find, he did not say corruptly locate or illegally do it.

In his mind, there were thousands of votes that were cast that were not properly counted, and there should have been an investigation. That is not a crime. For example, recently, you had a circumstance where Joe Biden in Afghanistan illegally, some say, launched drone attacks on children and women in cars, killing nine children and a bunch of other people. And so when

that happened, it's like, are you kidding me? And so as a consequence, any future administration could obviously arise up and charge a sitting president with various crimes. And so how much danger is there if a president doesn't have immunity. It is very dangerous. And just remember Bill. In two thousand and six, I had members not only from Ohio, but from California,

members of Congress that challenge our electors in Ohio. They claim that I had stolen the election for George Bush. The reality is that there were thirty eight lawsuits against the state of Ohio. We won thirty seven of them, and the one that we lost initially got overturned by the Court of Appeals six Circuit Court of Appeals. In the final analysis, they are trying to go through the looking glass and tell us what it's up is down, and what is

down is up. But we actually know that the Mad Hatter was a character of fiction and we're not going to let them snow us. And there's no We can argue about whether there were bags of ballots under desks, and we can argue about whether or not too many illegal people have voted. We can argue about like in Nevada, when illegal aliens get drivers' licenses, which gives

them a ballot the mail, they're automatically registered to vote. There's about seventeen states where when you get your driver's license, that information is sent over to the registrar for voters, and those persons are registered to vote as an expert on elections. What's wrong with that kind of a system that exists in about seventeen states today. Look, we have checks and balances in our system.

Bill the real problem is that what the left, the radical Marxist left, was trying to do in Colorado was to take the ability of the electorate of voters to actually vote their conscious and their interests. They basically said, you don't know what's good for you, let us decide, and the way they were going to let them decide was to eliminate a bonus candidate from the process.

The reality is that when President Trump was president, he had the constitutional right to pulse the system to make sure that it was working properly, and there was significant evidence that whether we were in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, or Georgia, there were irregularities, there were unconstitutional actions that were taken, and he had every right to in fact make sure that the count was legitimate.

So this was an irregular Twenty twenty was an irregular election. And what we've tried to do since that time is to get more citizens involved in the process, to make sure that we have eyeballs on the process, because my theory is that if you're not in the room, you're not in the game, and they will steal an election. Let's get into some of the legal

issues about something being ripe and something being moot. For example, there are many states like Pennsylvania in which the county election official him or herself is in charge of the voting in that county. Ohio, Kentucky, Florida have functional systems. But when you elect election officials in a county in Pennsylvania, that person decides are there dropboxes and if so, how many are there? Absentee ballots sent out to everyone on the voter rolls whether they request it or not.

Are there signature matches required or not? Or is there signature verification required or not? And so what happened in all of these lawsuits is that you're up against the clock between election day and the inaugural So in twenty twenty, Pennsylvania did not certify the election until around the middle the first part of December

because there were absentee and military ballots coming in. And so when lawsuits were filed questioning whether or not there was a legitimate county in Pennsylvania, the court's ruled the issue right now is not ripe until the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania declares a winner. So you may allege there were irregularities, which would take days, weeks, and months in federal court with witnesses and depositions to determine actually what occurred. And so when lawsuits are filed, it's the issue is

not ripe yet because no one's been declared a winner. So by the time the winner is declared around December the tenth, and then the electors meet in the state capitol in December the fifteenth, there's not enough time in those three or four days to follow lawsuit, call your witnesses, take depositions, have in court sworn testimony about what happened. So then the courts play this game.

Well the inaugurals January twentieth, we got the holidays coming up. So on one hand, the issue is not ripe because no winner's been declared. But on the other hand, when the winner has been declared, the issue is moot because the court shorts cannot give to the to trump the relief that he seeks, which is either a recount or a revote. So on one hand it's ripe. On the other hand, it's moot. We have to have a president by January the twentieth, so at no point is there a

legitimate investigation as far as what actually happened. What actually happened in Pennsylvania or in Georgia. On one hand, the winner's not been declared. On the other hand, by the time the winner is declared, it's moot. I can't give you the relief you seek because there must be an inaugural that Isn't that a problem in our election system? Well, our question. I don't know anybody who has stated it more claric than you just did. Look again,

what we have at stake here is our constitutional republic. You know, the left in control of the administrative state, they're not interested in free thinking citizens. They in fact want subjects. And that's the difference here, subjects that are controlled and influenced by the administrative state and the welfare state, or citizens of a constitutional republic that are in fact in power to elect folks who were governed at their will. And they're just they're just trying to wipe us

out in terms of being freethinking citizens. And they're doing it by destroying our borders. And not only do they know that we can't be a nation if we don't have borders, they actually are advocates of voters with our borders. And that's a problem, you know, Ken Blackwell, with the young folks MTV has you're a world citizen. You're not a citizen of the United States of America. You're a world citizen. And so the long term plan is

to destroy this nation from within. Abraham Lincoln once said, when America falls, not one foreign soldier will set foot on the Blue Ridge or cup water out of the Ohio River. When America falls, it'll be from the interior

out. And that is the Census Bureau tells us we're going to have an additional one hundred million Americans, or shall I say, persons living in America in the next fifteen to twenty years on the path that we're on currently, an additional one hundred million who will vote to receive government benefits at someone else's

expense. And this election in November is the most critical in our lifetime because if they can succeed in a sense of stuffing the ballot box, of having illegal aliens getting ballots in the mail because they have a driver's license and there's no signature match, there's many drop boxes. The ballots are sent out to everyone on the rolls, whether you're requested or not alive or dead. It is ripe with injustice, and so I just can't conceive here we are in

March of twenty twenty four and Super Tuesdays happening as we speak. And you spent your life with public integrity relative to voting, and at no point is about it less secure than it is today. Goes to who's voting, where

they're voting in so many states. And when Mary Garland said on Sunday at the Bloody Sunday Commemoration fifty nine years in the making and the Pettis Bridge, those black Americans like Lewis were beaten by Democrats, by the way, they're all Democrats in Alabama, right, and they wanted to beat black folks.

In the submission, he said that he will file lawsuits as the Department of Justice against any state that has voter ID laws, voter ID laws like black folks going to have the competency to get an ID and where a signature match and drop boxes, etc. Isn't it absurd that our own Attorney general is saying he doesn't believe in voter ID and signature matches. Isn't that ridiculous? Oh, it's ridiculous, this thing about it to get on a plane to get well get food stamps. I mean you can go down a list.

Most states will make IDs of photo IDs available at no charge. You know, there's no excuse for it. Photo IDs are as American as apple pie. And this idiot and that's what he is. I am so glad that brother mitche M O'Connell had enough forder to block that chomp from being on the Supreme Court. Oh can you imagine him on the Supreme Court? Right? I don't know, but we have to have legitimate counts, legitimate ballots.

And right now, if you live in seventeen states, if you're illegal and you have a driver's license, which is legal in seventeen states without citizenship, guess what, You're going to be mailed to ballot thirty days before the election and you can vote. And that's a federal crime that will not be prosecuted. You're absolutely right, and that's why we had the up against this legal foundation have been been fighting two thin nail against automatic voter registration. You know,

this is deployed by the left to radicalize our system. And all I'm saying is that, you know, when we have an even playing field, we win, And so you know, I think Treaserick Duglas sums it up Bill when he said those who are whooked easiest are whoop most often. And we're not going to be beaten. We're going to fight back. And let me just end with another uh basic philosopher of mind Satchel Page. You know, we, in fact can't be so concerned about equilibrium that we're not willing

to take a risk for freedom. Frederick Duggas said, excuse me, sat A Page said, it is damned difficult to still second base. If you want to keep one foot on first well, acting your listeners to take a risk, take a break for freedom, engaged, don't let him steal our constitutional republic. John Kenneth Blackwell, Public Interest Foundation, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. All for one and one for all. All love you, brother, God, bless you. Thank you.

Ken. Let's continue with more if a line becomes available. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand, Bill Cunningham News Radio, seven hundred WLW. What's holding you back from learning the language you've always wanted to know? Too hard, takes too long, not with Babbel. A vote is a terrible thing to waste. Two. We have scheduled in about twenty five minutes. An interview with Jim Scott and his wife Donna. As you know, he announced several months back publicly that he contracted als

Luke Garrig's disease and that he's fighting like a warrior poet. This came to mind about a week ago when Neil Lucan, the legend founder in the sense of the Finley Market Parade, he's picked it up the last thirty years to carry it forward, and Jim Scott has been something like fifty five Finley Market parades. It was a big deal for Jim, as to all of us do at some point. I like to find myself in the parade myself at some point, but I tend to be on the air at noon or one

o'clock. But nonetheless I did it one year. I think it starts like eleven am might be noon, and I rode with Marge shot in a big red convertible and accepting the platitudes of the assembled multitudes. And Jim Scott, I am told, is going to be in a nineteen sixty three convertible given to him by a friend. You know. It was sitting in the and the shotgun seat, the passenger seat in the front and Donna, his lovely wife, has sent me some photos to indicate that Jim is now practicing how

to get in and get out of the Pontiac. And the event itself is twenty three days away, which is three weeks from Thursday, and I wish in a sense I could be there with him, but I'm on the air at one o'clock from the Holy Grail getting ready to have desperate Reds fans seek victory after victory with the segment and all the gang will be there starting about nine o'clock in the morning with Sloaney, Lance McAllister and the segment et CE.

So it's a big day and I just hope there's good weather. Hopefully we'll have the weather of yesterday and not the weather of today. But I know Jim Scott's going through some very difficult times, but he's directing his life to be able to ride in the Finley Market Parade on March the twenty eighth, which is three weeks from a Thursday. So hopefully, if the weather

is nice, it'll be the largest turnout in Finley Market Parade history. And the Grand Marshals are Dimitri Young and Pokey Reese, and the Honorary Grand Marshal is Jim Scott. He could not attend the news conference. I understand that his voice, which is the instrument of his greatness, is not what it was maybe hard to listen to. I'll spend most of the time with Donna, his wife, to explain where Jim is physically and what lies ahead.

But this journey is particularly unfair to someone who contracted Pulio as a boy. He fought through that and performed magnificently, beginning in radio here in nineteen sixty eight. There was a two or three year segue when he was in New York City and I know what it's like to be in New York City. I don't want to go there. And then he came back here in nineteen eighty four. He had scheduled to be working at ninety four point one.

But Randy Michaels, the legendary founder of this radio station along with Pal Crossley. But Randy Michaels is the one that projected us into the end of the twentieth and now the twenty first century. Randy bought the entire station so that he could have Jim Scott's contract. We needed a morning guy and who was better than Jim Scott. I was here for his first day, and I was here for his last day, and for those thirty one years he spent

here thirty one of his forty seven years in broadcasting. It was wonderful because I first met Jim Scott in nineteen sixty eight. I'd come back from a Skingham College in December of nineteen sixty seven. I planned to get married in sixty eight and I did not want to be separated from my bride, little Penny Asbrock, and so I thought, I got a I'm getting out of

here, and I lived at home with Mom again. Lived in Dylon Vale eighty four seventy nine Wicklow Avenue, and every day I'd drive down to Aver University to begin my classes. And driving down at seven thirty eight o'clock in the morning, I listened to Jim Scott every morning on thirteen sixty WSAI. Months would go by and I happened to see him somewhere. I think it was a Kroger store. I walked up to him and said, hey,

Jim Scott, I'm Bill Cunningham. I listened to you every morning. He said, great, Then he turned the conversation to me, you know, are are you the guy that went to Deer Park High School? What do you want to be when you grow up? And et cetera, et cetera. And Jim Scott has his magnificent virtue when you discuss things with him,

to turn the conversation to you and not to him. And then years went by, between nineteen sixty eight and nineteen eighty four, what sixteen years, and he started here in the morning, and I met him the night before again, I said, you remember that conversation. He said, no, I honestly don't. But I said, Jim, it's great to have you here. And we put together a team that at that point with Jim Scott and Randy Michaels and Alan Gardner. Bill Gable was in the afternoon at that

point, and Bob Trumpy and me and then Lynn Gladahill overnight. Then over the next few years had developed to Jim Scott in the morning, Mike McConnell, Bill Cunningham in the afternoons, then Gary Burbank and then Trumpy slash Colin Sworth slash Andy Furman slash Tom Gamble slash Paul Docherty slash Lance McAllister, which

is where we are today. In the evenings. Of course, it went from me to Scott Sloan, to Gary Jeff Walker, who's a great radio professional on his own right, and then the truck and Bows who took over from Lynn glad Hill and the rest Shaw We say his history, and all I can think about is how unfair it is that a man has lived his life for about eighty years and have the beginning of life at the end of life fighting fighting in tractable diseases. But Jim Scott doesn't see it that way.

Jim Scott, through Donna, wanted to say a few words to you while he can as a listener of this sacred radio station. And I said, Jim, whatever it is, it is, we understand. So please for appointment listening. You might tell friends and family. Beginning about one o seven, one o eight this afternoon, we're going to have Donna, his wife, and Jim Scott live to talk about what's happening in his life and what his goals are, what his memories have been, and to the greatest

extent possible listen to what he has to say. So that's coming up in about seventeen eighteen minutes until then. Today is so called Super Tuesday. I think of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana are not voting. It can't be super without the tri state because these three states is the heart that beats this great

country. Looking on my left, I see Mark Cuban, who just sold the Dallas Mavericks for three hundred and seventy five million dollars, has said that if Joe Biden was getting the last rights, he would still vote for Joe Biden. That's the kind of mentality where performance matters not and political ideology means everything. Because right now the country's in a mess. Right now, the country's in bad shape. Right now, We're hurting in many ways and many

circumstances. I think America is suffering from paralysis and decline. Despite the fact the stock market is high and the fact unemployment is low. The deficit is completely out of control. We borrow in new money every one hundred days, an additional one trill billion dollars because we cannot quit spending money, all of which must be paid back at some point or paid back with interest at some

point. Right now, it's thirty four point four trillion, quickly on its way to forty trillion dollars, sums of money that were unfathomable as recently as a couple of years ago. You couldn't have imagined having a trillion dollars borrowed every one hundred days. Between seventeen eighty eight and twenty oh one, between George Washington and the beginning of Bush forty three, the entire national debt was

four trillion dollars. And think of the events that transpired between seventeen eighty eight in two thousand and one, everything happened, and Americans then living said we will pay your own way. Cumulated national debt was four trillion. Now it's thirty four trillion, on its way to forty trillion by the end of this decade. And those putting it up are Democrats and Republicans. In the last twenty four years, we've had twelve years of democratic rule and twelve years of

Republican rule. When the Trumpster was in office, he accumulated a national debt just in his four years of eight trillion dollars eight trillion, which is twice the debt between seventeen eighty eight and two thousand and one. So this is an equal opportunity offense. The country's in a mess two reasons. One the debt. We can't quit spending money, and every time more money is needed we go borrow more money. And secondly, what's happening on the southern border.

We have placed in office so many men and women whose allegiances to ideology instead of the public good. And looking to my left, Mark Cuban, he would vote for Joe Biden if Biden was getting the last rights because he's an ideological fool. Why would anyone vote for politicians who embrace policies that cause great harm? Knowingly great harm? In Chicago, the school board who are Marxists and leftists, have taken all the police officers out of the public schools,

which is rampant with crime and no education. Do not trick yourself into believing that in urban public school districts there are ladders in the whole in which many students find themselves. There are not ladders in those holes. Guess what, they're man made policies, and they demand more. Joe Biden has allowed ten million unvetted illegal immigrants to enter America, causing untold disruption in our cities

and the threat of terrorism. And don't get me wrong, I understand that maybe ninety percent of the immigrants wish us well and are not different than the ones that went through Ellis Island. Great majority simply yearn to have a better life. If I lived in Guatemala, if I lived in the Congo, if I lived in Afghanistan, I'd try to make my way to America.

Too young and healthy, let's do it. I get that. But on the other hand, we need to deport large numbers of people, which, by the way, Biden has deported four million over the last three and a half years. That's the tip of the iceberg. Instead of deporting people who violate federal law by coming into this country, we incentivize more by giving them free rent, free food, free cell phones, thousand dollars debit cards every

month, free medical care, free childcare. Everything is free. A society cannot exist a developed society next to grinding poverty with a one hundred million citizens. And I had a caller a couple days ago reference the fact that Mexico City is running out of water. They're on a plateau and because of weathern patterns, they may find by the end of this year to have no water, which might cause another twenty to forty million to come across the southern border.

It can't happen. Got to build a fence, got to put the military on the southern border. Got to do it. The same president who destroyed our energy independence and has caused runaway inflation by dumping trillions of unprinted dollars into the economy, has undermined our military readiness and refused to declare a national

emergency. All that it would take is for Biden to declare now a national emergency, giving him national emergency powers for ninety days, which has all kinds of abilities to do all kinds of things, which the Trumpster did twice. At the end of the ninety days, declare another ninety day emergency, build defence and put the military there. Put the razor wire up. We can't

afford this. We're destroying the country. We're suffering paralysis and decline. So my choices in November are with someone who was in office for four years, who performed magnificently in office. Put aside the peccadillos and the nasty trivial insults. His policies worked, and the policies of Joe Biden, etc. Do not work. And right now Joe Biden is conducting law fare like warfare against Donald Trump, denying him the right a due process to confiscate his money and

to impose a lengthy jail sentence quickly before the election. The law is being used to punish people politically because of their beliefs. And I would chalk a lot of this up to an unconscious electorate that puts those in power based upon

ideology and not competence. When we have a city council race and we have four politicians committing crimes in office, and the same party to put them up put up four more individuals who are more to the left, and they get wide margins, and a good candidate, a good office holder like Liz Keating is kicked out as a republic and just because of the r that is disgusting.

They're stupid. Many of the voters who elect unfit politicians are highly educated because leftists populate our universities, not about race, not about anything other than ideology. So it's pretty sad. Let's continue with more coming up in about ten minutes. The interview I have with Jim Scott and his wife Donna, And if you've listened to this radio station for a while. It would be great to listen to Donna and Jim Scott's journey at this time, so let's

continue. Of course, Reds Baseball kicks off three weeks from Thursday at the Holy Grail, and I'm about to predict glory for the Cincinnati Reds.

Bill cunning in the Great American of courts, the living legend Jim Scott has had some health difficulties recently. Began in radio in nineteen sixty eight and as a boy as a young man driving back and forth between Deer Park and Xavier. Beginning in January of nineteen sixty eight, I had the opportunity to begin listening to Jim Scott on thirteen sixty WSAI, and

a few months later I happened to run into him. It might have been at a Kroger store and I walked up to Jim and said, Jim Scott, I'm Bill Cunningham. I'll listen to you every day. And Jim Scott said to me, well, Bill, what do you want to be? I said, I'm at Xavier right now. I want to be a lawyer at some point, and Jim Scott said to me, hopefully a good one, and I said, well, I hope so too, and the year's

flown by then. In nineteen eighty three I had the good fortune of hooking up with Randy Michaels, who started this radio station's change to what it is today. And nineteen eighty four, Randy Michaels thought so much about Jim Scott as a morning man that he bought the radio station in which Jim Scott was about to begin work. I think it was ninety four point one, and

the rest is history. Then Jim Scott spent the next thirty one years here, and just for edification purposes, I went online and we played for you yesterday Jim Scott's sign off on April third, twenty fifteen, Jim Scott's day through opening day, and he signed off on April third, twenty fifteen. And it's been I can't believe it's been nine years since Jim Scott left the radio here. And now he announced several months back he contracted Louke Gerrig's disease

also known as ALS, and that he is fighting the fight. I've said before, it's awfully unfair when a young man begins life with polio and ends it with Louke Gerrig's disease ALS. But Jim Scott is with us now, and first of all, Jim Scott, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show to your radio station. And secondly, Jim's got how you feeling at this point there? Well, appreciate boy Id and Donna, his wife was out his side and Donald, let me ask you this. Let's go back a little

bit on the journey that began about a year or two ago. When did you first think Jim was exhibiting some symptoms? Well, in October of twenty twenty, Jim was golfing and he kept feeling like his left side was weak, and so he was referred to you see neurological and on Opening Day twenty twenty one, Jim was diagnosed with ALS. What happened was he was in the parade and he had to run up for one o'clock appointment and the doctor said, I'm sorry to tell you this, but I think you have ALS.

And Jim said, you got to be kidding. It's April Fool's Day, It's Opening Day, and you're telling me I have a disease named after a baseball player, and that was Opening Day twenty twenty one. Yep. And then and then he really we had a couple of good years and then probably the last oh about a year ago, he lost just lost the use of his left arm. And then about a half a year ago he started walking with a shuffle or maybe a little more than that, and started using

a cane. But Jim learned a golf one arm. He's fabulous one armed golfer and everything, and so it became pretty obvious. So he went public in August. And then in October Jim contracted ALS related pneumonia and he was golfing on a Monday, and on a Wednesday, his als just went straight over the cliff. So we've been in and out of hospitals and rehabs and home and everything since October. And Donna, as a caregiver, what is this? Uh, some consider it to be a gift, many consider it

to be a burden. And you've been with him for decades. Well, how has this impacted your life? Donna, in as far as you're caring for him? Explained, Well, you know, I Jim is one four to seven for me, I I it's who wouldn't. And I'm halfway to a nursing degree. But gosh, you know, I will say that I thought I loved Jim as much as I possibly would, But since this happened, you know, I I just it has just like plumbed the depths of my love for Jim. And so we're well, I don't know, purchase,

We're in it together. Jim said, thank you. Well, you have a great wife and Donna. As far as every now and then, everyone has known someone with a terrible disease, and als is is not a good Alzheimer's, whatever it might be. Maybe I'll tell you what this is. This is the atomic f bomb of diseases. It's we had no idea until it really hit in recent lunch, the immensity of this disease. So yeah, And as far as the care and the treatment, I've read up

on it the in preparation for the interview a little bit. There's a hope there's some minor treatment for it, but there is no cure. Hardly anyone comes out the other side. It's generally a one way straight But I have hope in five to ten to fifteen years, maybe AI or something else could come up with therapies. And as I understand that, Donna, there's no particular cause and one can point to an element that causes this is simply occurs.

Is that right? Explain that that's true. And that's why that's why treatment is it is so experimental, because if you don't know the cause, then how can you come up with medicines to treat or cure it? So and yeah, and Houses and you talk about your relationship has improved and sometimes these relationships go the other way in these difficult circumstances. Why do you think

in your view the relationship you always love Jim. I think everyone loved Jim Scott, but far as you as his wife, you known him in his good times, and it's bad for the last several decades, House has impacted your respect and love for him. Well, because Jim, Jim still is Jim. But but his grace and his his gratitude and his will and his

willingness and his appreciativeness for every caregiver that we've encountered. He you know so many of them that they're younger too, and they don't know he's Jim Scott, and they don't know Jim's who Jim Scott is anyway, but he within a day everybody loves him and and and just watching that and watching Jim's spirit

and his will and his kindness. You know, he always turns the conversation to tell me about you and right, right, and yeah, so like that that I think that really just is so deep into my appreciation for maybe the Jim's goot part of Jim. You sent me some photos and last week Neil Lucan Finley Market Parade held the news conference with the f to have Pureval and others in which there was an expectation and hope that Jim could be the

honorary Grand Marshal. Of course Dmitri Young and Pokey Reese are the Grand Marshals Reds players, but Jim is the honorary Grand Marshal. And you sent me some beautiful photos. Explain what's going to happen on opening day, which is twenty three days away. The photos you sent me in that car, explained what that is and who donated that to you to be used for that day? Okay, well, ever since Jim found out that he was going to

be Grand Marshall, he wanted our very good friend Jim Schwartman. Jim wanted to ride in one of Jim's two nineteen sixty three Pontiac convertibles, and so that's Jim's car. And what he did was he brought it over and two or three just yesterday, Yeah, and uh two or three o T occupational therapists and physical therapists. We did a dress rehearsal to see if we can

get him in the car because we can't walk anymore. And so they had two ideas and the first one didn't quite work, and the second one did. And so Jim is going to be in that car in the opening day parade, and we are we don't we don't want to tire them out before the praise starts because one of the things got a LS is extreme fatigue. So Neil Lucan said, I'll get you a police escort to get through all

the closed streets. So we're gonna come swooping up in that That convertible is a block long, and Jim's going to be in the front seat waving it people because his right arm store his waving armwork. So you know, I kind of look at this donna. It's on Opening day of twenty twenty one. Jim Scott, perhaps as much as Neil Lucan or anyone else, loves Opening Day in the Finley Market Parade. He marched in it for decades and five. This will be his fifty fifth parade. Fifty is fifty six in

a row Opening Day parade. No, this will be fifty five. He missed it because he was in New York at w NBC one year, and then there was a COVID but no parade. But he's walked fifty four of them. In this one he'll ride. And it's twenty three days from now. How important is it for Jim to do whatever is necessary, through rehab or whatever to make sure that twenty three days from today, almost at this exact hour, he'll be riding in the Finley Market Parade. How important is

Jim to make that? I should let him answer that. Go ahead, Jim? Oh the uh? The the? Can you interpret that a little bit? He still has his wit? She said, I'll tell you how important it is every night I go sleep in a convertible. Uh? Is are there humorous? Because you know when you hear this, don are there humorous? Are there funny? Are there human elements of this disease in this journey that you can share with some others about moments that brought you closer together.

Well, there are some funny ones, and I almost can't share them because they have to do with bodily functions. Uh that you know, it's as as him is like less control of everything, of every thing you got. Sometimes you gotta laugh. Yeah, you have to. I mean you have to, and uh, you have to and and I've become like an

extreme caregiver and you know, you gotta laugh at stuff. Sure, so, but I can't tell you the stories because they all involved well, you know, Donna, the World War two was a serious business, but there was some humor that came out of it. And and at the end of the day, you have to realize there's millions and millions of Tri State residents, many of whom have never met Jim. Uh, but they're hurt by the fact that this is the way things might end for him in the next

few weeks or few months. And it's it's a sadness. But you know, two things each of us share is that we're born on a day and we die on a day. And what happens in between those two events describes

and the fines a person's contributions. And I know of no one in the Tri State or in America who's contributed it more, cared more for those who are in need, for those that are hungry, for those who had Pulley or other diseases, for those that now have als, and that Jim Scott was an ambassador throughout decades of individuals that were in need, whether it was ringing a bell for the Salvation Army or playing golf for the Arthritis Foundation,

the American Art Association, always with the Grippo Bag and a good friend of yours, doctor Allen Cordell, and others Jeff Beckham Oins, a trucking company, still have a Grippo's bag signed that they take with them to play golf because it reminds them of their time with Jim Scott. And he will not be ever forgotten. He's a living legend and Jim Scott. Lastly, do you understand, Jim, how you're held in love and awe by many in the Tri State and we feel like we owe you more than you can give

to us. Do you understand, Jim Scott, how much you're loving respected in this town, love them. May you even me, he even loves me? Well, well, you tell Jim. I'll be there about three point thirty today to check in on him and say hello. And Uh, Jim Scott, stay strong. The Pontiac convertible in nineteen sixty three is waiting for you, and God willing, we pray you'll be with us on Red's opening day. And Jim's good. Thank you for all the contributions you've made

to the people of the tri State. Got love you, God bless Jim's got Donna, thank you very much, and I'll see you in a couple hours. Okay, thanks, thank you, thank you, God bless you. Thank you. All right, let's continue with more. And I'm going to continue to support Jim every which way that I can, in small ways. And it is so unfair that a person that has fought so long and so hard to make other lives more livable at the toward the end of his

days has contracted Luke Erig's disease. But as you can see, Uh, Donna and Jim's love for each other has deepened. And before you go to bed tonight, say a prayer for Jim Scott and for his UH and for the peace that only the Lord can provide. Let's continue with more.

The atl And Georgia prosecutor has offered to testify that another witnesses testimony was wrong, and a Monday's filings said that prosecutor with the that was having an affair

with the lawyer miss haughty. Yes, Sidney Lee Yaeger, a co chief Deputy prosecuting attorney in Cobb County, says Terence Bradley, you might recall he was Wade's former divorce lawyer told others of the relationship between Willis and Wade Woa WOA and filing said Yeger claimed on Friday that Bradley had told her that Wade and Willis met and started doing the wild thing in twenty nineteen, which is

contrary to the testimony provided by the lovers. It is Germaine because if they were doing the wild thing when she selected him to get a million bucks, that that would be illegal and it'll be a conflict of interest? What about this? In or around September of twenty twenty three, mister Bradley, the divorce lawyer, was visiting Miss Yeager in her office when mister Bradley received a telephone call. Miss Yeager could hear that the caller was District Attorney Fanny Willis.

Jaeger could hear that the caller was District Attorney Willis. District Attorney Willison is calling mister Bradley in response to our article that's being published about the two of them, and Miss Willis is telling Bradley they're coming after us. Don't talk to anyone about this. Keep this quiet. Oh oh oh oh, what's going to happen there? Nothing does Di Georgia Bar Association get involved in this? Well, that's all you have to go to the bar. But

a double or a Trick. You also have the best girlfriend of Fanny Willis testifying under oath in court that they started doing the wild Thing as early as twenty twenty one. And of course your your friend Nathan Wade was hard in November of twenty twenty two. So you got this evidence coming out now about the perjury of the prosecute tricks. Who is prosecuting Donald Trump? Your comments please? You got a lot of action in the atl then McAfee the John

not in the court room they did it? Don't tell me you think yes, yes, no way they did the wild Thing and did Jerry Box? You think what would cold funky Cole Medina. I don't mess around with no oscar. My Awena, Awena was being hidden all over Fulton County. Do you think they did it in a courtroom? Yes? Wow? On the bench. I think he called her for a witness. It sounds like racism to me, went one under a deep Let's not go into that, boy.

You gotta maintain a high level of modesty here. Let's see Willie. You got Ohio Girls Regional semi finals action tonight. How about this one Princeton v. Mount Notre Dame And I'm backing the ball. I'm taking the mountains. I'm taking the cougars for sell Marians in action tonight along with Baden Uh Cincinnati College Prepp and the Boys in Lachland in Uh in the Boys Action tonight. How about this, there's another story. It's from the FBI. An

Iranian intelligence officer is one in connection like an assassin, an assassin. He's walking around, he wants to shoot that. Like what Mike Pompeo and these guys right, they're angry about Suleiman was drone to death in Iran. Juliman with Iran and now the Iran Ministry of Justice has sent assassins to kill members of the Trump and the Obama administrations inside of America. Oh boy, but this story about the Fanny Willis and Nathan Wade continues to sprout wings. When

a fellow prosecutor said, it's getting hot in here. We need some time star quality and veiled funky Cole Madina, I don't mess around with no Oscar Maya Wiena And they were messing around with a Wiener doing something and all it's racism. Me. Remember, it's racist. I'm sorry, okay, please, doesn't have anything, doesn't have to do anything with the law. No,

no, no, and that she's going after President Trump. And how many how many men take their girlfriend on these expensive trips and demand that the girlfriend paying cash for half of the expenses. Does that happen in reality? What that's cheap? It's called cheap. I don't think that happened. He never did that with Taylor Swift. Absolutely, none of them. I didn't do it with them. I paid all the bills, right, and I

enjoyed every minute of it. I'm just saying the stories of Fanny Willis's disintegrating. Whoa so McAfee. I'd have to go back to the judge and say, your honor, we'd like to revise and extend my testimony. We meet in your chambers. Let's go talk. You have prosecutors girlfriends, cell phone records, text messages, twelve thousand of them. They sum at four o'clock

in the morning after a little bit of a booty call. You think that the Trumpsters sitting back his chair in marri Lago, going bring it on, Bring it on, Fanny. There's one. There's one I don't have to worry about. In the next they got clearly Colorado, right, David if you can find the Beg's Fanny. There's a song that Beg sang about Fanny. Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down with Fanny. I e. Fanny Willis. Her testimony is falling apart, ripped by the seam by other prosecutors

saying she lied onder oath. Why not just step aside and say hey, right, no, no, no, no, no too much money. Do you know who's going to get the blame on all this? Eventually? Donald Trump? Thank you, Trump did it? He gets blamed for everything. Hayden Hurst released by the Panthers, is that the elder of the Panthers. No, I think it's Carolina, said Panthers headline. And Fanny Willi's case offended by fellow prosecutor's testimony. I guess all these people are lying right,

and they're telling the truth overheard. The problem politically is this, As you know, Scott McAfee, the judge is a Republican appointed by Governor Kemp make a deal deal, who's never run for this office before, but he's on the ballot this November. Now, well, this white married Republican judge up end Fanny Willis's popularity in Fulton County which he's loved and admired by everybody in Fulton County. Because you get what you deserve. It should be very

interesting. I walk around with ten thousand dollars in cash in my purse and I just doled out to people because that's a black thing. You understand that segment, It's a black thing. Did thousands of dollars in cash, going to Viminy, going to Trinidad, going to Venezuela, going to the wine country in California, just to kind of pay off, you know what I'm saying, pay off. She wants to pay half her expenses on her love tread listen to be Jeeves this time at the post. It seems that get

done. I think she wanted the love of Nathan and she got the love of life. To be sure it did anyway, in a lonely time they met. When they're on there, here come get ready segment. Be tender. Now Fanny here it is, Fanny, be tender. But yeah, it's all that I got the love and the cash won't desert me. When you're dealing with Fanny's correct percy, your reaction, that's going to be a double action or triple action. In the atl coming up hanging and banging for

Syria. I'm sure that's on CNN, right, No, No, that's what I figured. They're not covering that. Yep, but uh explosive new testimony about Fanny doing a vile thing mercy beginning in twenty nineteen. You got to you got to keep this quiet. I'm telling youny Okay, I'll keep it quiet. Okay, Yeah, say you got to keep this quiet too. Okay, I won't say anything. Give me out of the Stuge report, Willie. In honor of uh Fanny, Fanny and lint chocolate today,

Willie, we hit the lint. We had high class chocolate today, lint chocolate. Thank you. We love that. We leave you with the immortal words of the stud report. Some are horrible people, horrible human things. Who cares? That's Donald speaking about Fanny Nathan Bradley at all all a news radio seven hundred that you held over young Listen up, homeowners interest rates have dropped, right dropped. Now it's a great time to refinance and consolidate all

you counting into Great America. Of course, law enforcement public safety is a core function of government. Normally, the local police handle local issues and the Feds handle federal issues, protect the borders, which has become a joke. And whether it's Cincinnati we're down two hundred police officers, or New York City's down five thousand police officers, or many areas like Chicago and Portland are a

complete meltdown. It's a great concern for the public safety. In Portland, they're paying up to one hundred thousand dollars for a new cop because nobody wants the job. Who wants a job When you're so disrespected, you're hurt on the job, you have a no more qualified immunity in many jurisdictions. Michael Letz is the founder, president and CEO of INVESTUSA, a grassroots nonprofit organization helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bulletproof vests for the police forces. And

he also has more than thirty years experience in law enforcement. And the kicking off point for this Michael Letz is, of course, the state of Texas, which is Austin Texas. Last year, Austin Texas chose to scam a four year contract to fund its police in a whopping ninety two vote, they got rid of forty officers. And now I saw on Fox News this morning and some other places that when you dial nine to one to one in Austin, Texas, the home of great Texans and Americans, the capital of Texas,

no one's gonna come to help you. And another report from Fox News said the city police department has reached an all time low to the point with a two hour window when you dialed nine to one one, an officer may come or may not. So, first of all, Michael, let's welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Michael, how did we get here? Can you go back maybe the George Floyd riots in twenty twenty that was permissive in many urban areas. Uh, can we discuss, first of all,

how did we get in this position? Well? Quite frankly, Mill, thank you for the honor to be on your show, and yes, we certainly can do that. The liberal left ideology has always wanted to control Americans. So they can't control Americans that are armed, so they've been looking for the best way they can to disarm Americans. They tried, obviously to pass legislation in Congress that never worked. Because I start with the Americans want,

they don't want to give up their second Amendment rights. So they came up with a Burgan new tactic and it's called defund the police. So they waited for an opportunity. George Floyd was that opportunity. Of course, when you begin to look at the facts of that, they got that all along.

George Ford wasn't suffocated by a copy head, heart issues, drug problems in the an array of things that caused his demidse But anyway, they ran with that and created a conflict around the country that made mass media being a part of their plot to think that a law enforcement were enough of a racial bias and bigots for that matter. If that's the case, if you want to portray them as that, then why do we fund them? And so

they went from to the next stage. Defunding the police, got people on board that hey, instead of funding police, we can fund social programs. We can send counselors to talk to these criminals and get them to surrender and change their lifestyle without having to use force. And they bought that crazy theory, defunded hundreds of cops, thousands of agencies. They also put it into place a vaccine, a COVID nineteen mandate. If you didn't take it you

had to be fired. Of course, thousands were fired because they believed it provided for their own health decisions, not the government making those decisions. Then we got to the point is exactly what the federal government was looking for. Because of the fact you defunded the police, violent crime began to spike him to escalate all across the country. Well, the federal government's entire plan was this, you don't need to trust our city and state and local police,

but never fear the federal government is here. That's why you've seen over the last few years. They put in eighty seven thousand requests rated seven thousand irs armed agents. They put in request six hundred and fifty million for Capitol Police to be able to expand them across the country. They had it in place that they would come in and solve the violent crime program, and they already

stated what their solution was. Violent crime is caused by guns, So they were going to go in and go after guns and disarmed the American people that way. The problem that became with this bill is that when violent crime spiked, their theories didn't work, and now we're at a lawless state. We have law enforces that have been fired, terminated, quit because they're not appreciated,

they're not paid. And now that they're scrambling to figure out how do we solve this problem, they're saying, Okay, okay, we'll give you the money back, come on back to work. Nobody wants to go to work for an agency or for a jurisdiction that has no respect for them, their family, or their lives and their well being. And so they're rejecting that. And now we've got to the point because mass media has created such

a negative that our young people don't want to wear the bias. So we've got all these officers have retired, been fired, nobody to replace him, and now crime is running rampant, and it's getting worse every day, and we're going into chaos. I'll tell you how far the Democratic Party has come. I played earlier a week or two ago, the comments of President Bill Clinton on the Southern border. He sounds in the nineteen nineties. This is

President Bill Clinton talking about the Southern border. He sounds like Donald Trump today. The Democratic Party of Bill Clinton or the Democratic Party of Barack Hussein Obama. I've played some cuts from him in the past. Obama in twenty nine to twenty ten, was talking about the southern border being in crisis, that we can't have that many individuals coming across. We don't know who they are, no vaccination, no criminal status. The Democratic Party has completely flipped on

its head. And here in Cincinnati, there's efforts to expand a stupid streetcar at a cost to two to three hundred million dollar expansion when they're down two hundred cops in Cincinnati. That's a twenty percent shortage of cops that we have. And many parts of the core parts of Cincinnati, you can hit nine point one and there's one or two patrol cars all over the basin of the

city of Cincinnati for non coverage. I look at the story out of Austin, Texas, and the head of the police union there says that basically the city is in collapse. Austin President to Police Association President Michael Bullock has noted that this decline in numbers has affected public safety to the point the city of Austin, Texas is on the brink of disaster quote unquote, and there's no

effort by those in charge of the cities. And let's face it, Michael Letts, those in charge of the cities are uniformly left wing democratic activists. There aren't Republican conservative constitutionalists elected anywhere in the top fifty cities of this country. And these policies by the Democrats have basically ruined our majestic cities that are basically un liveble, and nothing's going to change until the citizens' votes change.

And they want this to end. I see nothing happening to get that done. And we got the good nine to zero decision by the Supreme Court and Trump being on the ballot, so the Democrats won as many crises as possible to overwhelm the system so that we give up our freedom for security, and in the end we get neither. And I don't see it. I look at what's happening in Atlanta with the lawlessness of Nathan Wade and Fanny willis complete

lawlessness. They're the ones that should be arrested. And the city of Atlanta

also is in a meltdown situation. Although I did read that the new police chief in Atlanta is focusing on the Buckhead District because Buckhead was gonna like disassociate itself from the city of Atlanta. I see little bean sprouts going on, but Essentially, New York City needs five thousand cops, Cincinnati needs two hundred cops, Austin needs another three to four hundred cops, and the Democrats in charge don't want to do it. Why won't the Democrats prioritize public safety?

Well, if they have one basic reason, and that's their greed and attempt to hold power. Because every legal immigrant they're putting on a mail in ballot register and they're going to count that as a vote. It's stuff that has a mail ballot somewhere in the country. And you brought in ten million illegal immigrants, that's an awful lot of goals to be cast. And they can't afford to lose that they want they have to cheat if they if they're going

to win, and this is their best way of doing that. And of course the other thing is these illegal immigrants are part of syndicated crime. That's a big cash cow and a lot of those donations go back to the Democratic Party. Yeah, no question, because the clout we go back to what the Democrats truly want, and I would assume they intend the logical consequences of their actions. And so if they have a wide open southern border with fentanyl,

human trafficking. Right now, I'm watching some of the Congress on YouTube. The last week or two, there's at least one hundred thousand children that have gone missing that have come across the southern border. Now, when we had similar disasters under Trump in the beginning year or two, the media weaponized that against Donald Trump, about ten thousand kids are missing. Well, right now there's one hundred thousand kids missing and the media will not cover it.

What isn't the media in the major cities. Let's face it, Michael Letz, that the media is headquartered in all the major cities Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, big time media presence, but they don't cover the collapse of law enforcement in many major American cities. What doesn't the media cover it? Well, they're part of the

ideology of the Democratic lift. They believe in controlling and in power as well, and they want to dictate to the American people what to think, what to believe, and how to act. And that's what the Democrats have tried to do all along, and the mainstream media is tied in with it because they feel like they are a conduit for being able to control the American people.

Until we break that mindset and give back to truth and consequences, it's always going to be worse as it gets escalating with violent crime across the country. I'll give you an example here in Little Cincinnati, Ohio. We have a juvenile court system in which the judges are advocates of social justice reform, and the juvenile court judges in Hamilton County, Ohio do not want to send violent teenage criminals to adult court because it's not fair to put them in the

adult and the adult system when rapes and robberies take place. We had a horrible case about a year ago in which a seventeen year old boy raped a fifteen year old, and the juvenile court judge will not bind over to adult court the seventeen year old because that child, she said, was amenable for treatment in the juvenile court system. And then with the seventeen year old back in the community living with a fifteen year old, and right now there's such

intimidation going on. I would also note that Chicago Public schools, this came out a couple of weeks ago, the Chicago Public schools don't have any more police officers resource officers inside their schools. The city council said it was too intimidating for the students to see armed police officers walking in their hallways, so they got rid of Chicago police do an extra duty inside the public schools,

which is causing up ticking crime. How about that? And some parents are objecting, saying, wait a minute, we want the cops in our school because of all the violence inside Chicago public schools. But when city council in Chicago votes to eliminate funding of police officers in the schools in Chicago, what is that indicative of, well, indicative of what we're seeing happening right now.

They have a distorted mindset with no common sense and no reality, and they're attempting to destroy every law enforcement officer and everything they stand for across the country. Then they can say, oh, look now everything's in chaos. We're going to bring in the FED. You've got to give up all these rights, to give up your guns and everything else to do so. But don't worry. We'll bring in the FEDS and we'll restore law and order.

Probably that won't happen once lawless just hits. FEDS will never be able to maintain control. In fact, to have control is one thing, But when you go backwards in time, for major cities like Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Detroit, is a complete disaster. Would you agree with me, Michael lest This won't change until the voters who put in power

mayors and city council members understand themselves the results of previous votes. So the voters in Chicago, Cincinnati, Austin, New York, Portland are going to have to look at themselves and say, why do we have this system? Why why do we have We don't have to live like this. But you know, I give an example and callgo with Lori Lightfoot also known as Beetlejuice. She was so liberal and bad that they put a guy named Brandon Johnson

in charge who's to the left, to the left of Lori Lightfoot. He wants less law enforcement and more social welfare spending, which will be a disaster. And so when cities say we can't take it anymore, things will change. But I don't see that happening within the next five to ten years. Do you think conservative Democrats and Republicans? Well, what if there was a Democratic president like Bill Clinton who said We're going to fund federally one hundred thousand

more police in our cities that the cities are ripe with crime. This is Bill Clinton thirty some years ago saying that the federal government will fund one hundred thousand more cops on the streets in major cities that are having a problem. Do you see Joe Biden ever doing that. Not a chance. He's been saying he wants to support law enforce with his whole tenure. Never once has he offered any proposals to increase funding or do anything other than to criticize law

enforcement and to put him in a bad light. So he's not about to do that at all. One thing I went there out there Bill, that we're proposing across the country is every city, state and county has either a reserve program for police officers, a reserve program for deputies called deputy posses, or state guards. We're asking every American to a be armed and to be the volunteer five to ten hours a month to become credential and to start providing

the security and protection that we need in their own neighborhoods. That's the only way we're going to regain control when the federal government realized the American people have risen up and decided to take this matter into their own hands, and we will secure our own neighborhoods, we will secure our own states, our own towns. Then you're going to see real change. I pray to God it happens, because we can't afford to have a country whether fifty large, magnificent

cities are in total collapse. And I can't conceive of residents in major American cities saying, you know what, I like the schools, We have plenty of job opportunities here, it is safe to walk the streets at night. And none of those comments apply to any major American city today. Could you imagine going to Washington, D C. With some group in April or May.

It was traditional for many schools to send their kids to Washington, D C. To tour the nation's capital, the Citadel, the birthplace of democracy, right there in Washington. Could you imagine teachers and principals taking their students into the suburbs in and around Washington, D C. And say, isn't it great to be in the nation's capital. It's embarrassing when diplomats go to Washington, d C. And look at that filth. You're exactly right,

Bill is embarrassing. It's embarrassing. In every major city where our infrastructure is collapsing, are crime resource sky high. Body wants to be there. Here's what because of a goocious cycle, because the residents are fleeing, which means businesses are closing, which means the tax base is dwinnaling, which means they can't afford. In fact, he got so bad into Chicago that they were issuing checks that were bouncing to law enforcement officers. Wow Chicago and Brandon Johnson,

the mayor refuses to acknowledge as a difficulty. He's got to change course. And I see little. The mayor of Denver is saying we can't afford to be a sanctuary city anymore because we have to shut down public hospitals due to the overuse by those who don't pay, mainly legal aliens. Chicago could be a failed city state. And until the residents of these major cities said we can't take it anymore, we went different leadership. Nothing's going to change.

There was a recent poll with mayor in Atlanta Fulton County with Fanny Willis. She's more popular now among the population of Atlanta than she was when she was elected a couple of years ago. And she's been shown to be a virulent liar and the misusing of public money for personal gain. And she's more popular now in Atlanta than she was when she was elected. And she's running for reelection this November, and she's going to get a wider margin for her

behavior. Well, Michael Letch, we got to run once again. What is your website to I can to which I can direct the American people? They go to ww dot I, n V E, S t U s A, nvest USA dot org or Restoring Justice dot us. Michael Letch, You're a great American, And once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Michael. Thank you Bill. God bless God, Bless America. Michael and I put on the difficulties. Is up

to the American people to make changes. Bill cunning and the Great American with you every day. You're home of the Reds News Radio seven hundreds WLW, worry Less about spring cleaning and calls zero Risk. How I built up my audience one girl of water better, Hello, Quiet and I'm scos. I'm broadcasting. God, that's that's how I built up my audience. One girl of water bedded one. Now a little history here of the rock. I remember the picture. There is a documented picture used to hang in our old

studio. He went out to Mount Notre Dame, the home of the mountain slash cougars, and he gave to Mountain Notre Dame for the teacher's lounge a water bed. And the inquiry took a picture of Jim Scott with this class. Here's the Germans no gym Scott and like a high school sophomore, sophomore standing next to hold the bed up sweep it's me come sleep and here's the bed. I'm thinking what year was that. It was like nineteen eighty six.

He was donating water beds to girls high school. So again I was six years old in nineteen eighty six, Like, did somebody see that in nineteen eighty six and go oh that's great? Or sometimes wondering what a nune would look like, you know, if they took off the top at Mountain Notre Name at that point had some nuns and he wanted to see nuns without

their tops. I'm thinking, what was the school's explanation for needing a water bed in the teacher's lounge according to the principal at the time, Relaxation Rock. Some of the teachers say, so he had an hour break during the day, Scott, Yeah, hour break. Yeah, they would report to the water bed room and they would lay down for an hour in the waterbed. Correct thinking, But that happened today you'd be putting jail. But that was okay, amazing waterbed. On't you show up at seating with a waterbed

these days and see why? A water bed of the teacher's lounge and the girls are standing around in their plaid skirts and the little white blouses smiling at Jim's got thinking, this is the greatest thing in the world. This is wonderful. Maybe I can get with Jim in the water bed. And Jim and that was no problem. What do I have to do to get a waterbed, mister Scott. We'll talk about that. But what are you looking at me? I took the picture and said, this is okay, I

think though. Now on another issue, here we go, Here we go with Fanny Willis. Fanny is getting her fanny smacked all over the courtroom. According an Affidad filed this morning in front of Judge McAfee, a Cobb County McAfee with on ESPN. That's a different McAfee. Okay, he's in trouble anyway, but I can't say that in front of Rock. I can't I on that in that situation either. So the judge, who's a white Republican, married male running for the first time in November for election in Vulden County,

Fulton County, you get appointed by Trump camp. It's a state camp appointed him. Receiving an affidav this morning from a female Cobb County prosecutor saying she had Terrence Bradley, the the lawyer for Nathan Wade who TESTEDBI. He was a bald guy who said that you see the guy on TV. He's

Anthony's questions And I don't recall this, it's not how I remember. Member said that Terrence Bradley was in my office in Cobb County on a criminal case and he got a telephone call from Fanny Willis and it was loud enough so that she you know, sometimes you can hear what's going on like that call. Like that call right there was. I put it on silent and Fanny Willis says to Terrence Bradley, quote, they're coming after us. Don't talk

to anybody. So this is the county prosecutor and phone County obstructing justice by saying to a witness against Donald Trump, don't say anything. Is this recorded? Yes? And so at this point she did she not realize it is hard to break the law. In twenty twenty four. Everything is. There's a record of everything, text messages, emailo calls, videos, high deaf videos, banking is all done online like it's hard. And how many girls

you were haughty? I'm sure twenty years ago and according to according to Fanny Willis and her lover boy Nathan Wade, whenever they won on one of their six or seven vacations paid for by George seventh George for a seven month period, that he would insist that she pay cash for half of Ye what a guy? What a guy does look like the kind of woman that would be

okay with paying half the jet. He's getting all the actions and she's paying for half in Aruba, Jamaica, on the Bahamas, the Wine Country, and she's walking around with thousands of dollars of cash and or Louis Vatan per saying how much do I owe you for this wonderful night? And then she would she would pay Nathan Wade to give me a G one thousand dollars for the glories of being with him in a hotel room for four days. Does that happen in the real world? And what there wasn't a found that she

was sleeping with him before she was was hired by him? Well, she contends not, but the records Gay, how about twelve thousand messages? Do you text someone twelve thousand times? At four o'clock in the morning, say all the text messager aye, midnight and five am in the air you would have a ten A couple of inches out of that. That's Pat Barry. You get a ten pm tele a text saying come on over, brother, a little b C yeah, little booty call, and then at four o'clock

in the morning a text whole time. This is kind of stuff you like? You know that? How much do I tell you? What? Gee? Here, it's a thousand A lot of dumb people. I know that seemed like a great plan like six eight months ago, but wonder if this could not be working out any worse? So now I'm here, what mccabee do now he got all this evidence. They're going to Firebomber's house. Though if he comes, if he lays the hammer on her, right, I

don't know, it's not good. Fanny Willis is a hottie and she wanted to play the game and she's gotten wish the bank account of Republicans and the sex life of a democrat. Charlie Luca knows about both. Yes, he's rich and now he knows about the sex life of a democrat. And that's fun to be. That would have put up in a memoriam to him in his service to the city. But it's all right above city Hall. She

played the race card. Of course, it's all about racist Most of those people were glad when I lay down the big wheel the SoundBite machine, wasn't he? There was nothing better than Charlie, the best of it. What about Judge Leslie Isaiah Gaines or Leslie as Is. We haven't heard from her in a while. Where has she been before the days of cell phones? Charlie and his wife be driving, I would get ready to go down. I guess she'll be paid for that too, But uh so, he'd be

listening to the station. No cell phones, and I'm talking to his son Sam in his house and they're coming back from somewhere, and I got Sam on the line saying, what kind of father, Sir Lucan, can you tell me? He beats me all the time. I said this, he locked your claws, that's the truth. He even makes he locks me in a closet and he beats me if I don't do my homework. He like takes a it takes a paddle and beats my whipping. And Charlie's looking sun

He's rushing home to Sam. Have you have you been talking? Have you been fed in the last three days? No, mister Cunningham, I don't get fed. Oh my god. And Charlie would that was the best before you should know before cell phones, emails, Texas had no lifeline. It sounds like Mike Barrett right there. Great, if Fanny Willis was doing all this stuff before the day and age of cell phones and the internet and bank records and cameras, she might be getting away with it. Now. You

can't do it now, seg Yeah. Well, well, judge McAfee had the coons to do what's right or only think about his election in November because in Fulton County. Fanny Willis has got a ninety percent approval. They love her. The more she plays the race card, the higher she goes. Now McAfee, on the other hand, what would you give me the other side? What does he if he does if he goes light on her, then what happens? Well, set a trial date some point in the future.

The thing I worry about the trump Ster is March to twenty fifth. He's gonna sit in a grimey New York City courtroom for like six to eight weeks, every day for eight hours, sitting there watching Michael Cohen and uh and also uh, he's got to be there. He's got to physically be present every minute. Stormy Daniels talking about sex, sex and more sex. How much money she was paid? Like Fanny Willis, that'd be like Stormy Daniels telling to Donald Trump, how much do I owe you? No done

work? But Fanny will says, you want a gee? Of course? You got having your cake and eating it too, so to speak. Say give me some sports, will he the stood reporter, sprout service of your local Tame star hed get air conditioning dealers. Tames are quality you could feel in Northern Kentucky called Johnson heating cold. Cooley get eight five nine four, seven to two sixty fifty one college basketball Tonight, Willie and plenty of it.

The Bearcats are on the road against Oklahoma Boomer Sooner seven thirty, seven hundred WLW, Toledo and Miami twenty fifth rated Dayton faces Saint Louis third rated Purdue battles number twelve. Illinois Dartmouth players have now joined the SEU and they're now union union Dartmouth basketball players, and they need representation on money's paid, hours of practice, behavior of the coaches. They went working conditions, They went to the terms and conditions, They went to t's in the seas.

Rock your comments. So you're gonna figure out how to get paid more, to practice less, to lose more games, lose more game because they stink. Of course, I think Jeff Ruby went to Dartmouth. I think not sure sake, please continue. Reds have the day off today from the Cactus League to get more tonight on the Hot Stove League six oh five right here on seven hundred WLW. The New York Jets are going to release tight end and former Bengal cj Uzama. The Panthers are going to release tight end and

former Bengal Hayden Hurst, that's elder. Could they get him back? They could not. Now let me let me use this as an example. So cj Uzama, well, a couple of years ago signs a three year, twenty four million dollar contract to leave Joe Burrow and go to New York and play for who is Zach Wilson and then Aaron Rodgers for one play? So has I think three touchdowns in two years? They gets injury. So the

point is this, is this not an example to T. Higgins? I go somewhere else, some other organization that you don't know anything about, with a lesser quarterback, an organization that stinks. Why not? Why if cj u Zama had stayed here a little bit less money, where would his star profile be? How much more money could he be signing for? Instead he goes to the Jets and it's a major detriment to his career. Stupid. That should be the example to T. Higgins and why he should stay take

a little less play with the Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Barrow. I'm taking to take a load off Fanny. Have you heard that's a load for free. That's it. The Miami RedHawks, they're defending MAC champions. Their twenty twenty four foot marginal is out. Guess what open week?

Willie and I are predicting right now. We're going with Chuck Martin and the RedHawks. You will do what you still did, never what Marshall did and everybody else did in South Bend. Now I have a text here. Now you see this text right here? Uh? Oh yes, does Rocky know that In the early nineteen eighties, I attended Santax High School. Uh, they had a smoking lounge for the students. The students could enter the smoking lounge as long as their parents signed off. It was okay. Can

you see Saint x No having a smoking lounge for the students? Good? Or a waterbed delivered by Jim Scott. It's like, well, maybe they were. They were studying oceanography or something. I don't know. Take a load off Fanny, studying the frequencies in motions. Take a load for free. Get easy. You're not in safe harbor yet.

Right now? I mean, I don't want any point. I don't wantny points. Now. What do you got on the Big Show? I don't know you got no just kidding. We've got Tanya a roar right out of the game when you're a former girlfriend about Jim Scott and that those were the How

about the sand X smoking lounge for the students? Wait, that's they had one of those at col Rain, but it was outside. I've told this story at Santex High School. Okay. This is my sophomore year in O c i P, which is Oral communications information processing. What one of the things you get to do was describe how something worked. Okay, the process of how something works. I brought in a compound bow and arrow. Okay, so I student flag clowns with a with a bow, and I asked

it. I was like, can I bring this in the like just take the tip off the arrow. Nevertheless, I had a bow that would shoot an arrow the police about one hundred and fifty feet per second. You heard that, Now that school would be surrounded nobody batter than I. Yeah, sounds good. Different days. Fanny Willis, you're a Robin Hood or something. No, I know, he's stupid. I had a cool video, right, I acted like I shot an apple off my dad's head. And
