4-11-24 Bill Cunningham Show

All right, Billy cunning in the Great American Reds Baseball postponed to August at thirtieth, at twelve forty. Information on the Reds website about how if you want to see some other game during the season, that's certainly possible. That'll be a twilight doubleheader with the Brewers the end of August. And we move on from there, and uh, we have later on income tax expert coming up. I know mo Iger pay pays lots of money income taxes. He

wants to know where does he fit on the on the schedules. Moe Eggar, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Mo how are you? I'm doing great, Bill, how are you good? I want to get your remembrances of one O. J. Simpson and so much more. As you know, I had one brief running with OJ Simpson with my golfing friends and was there for the verdict is this. I'm watching the national news left and right. It's the lead story everywhere. OJ Simpson dead at the age

of seventy six head prostate cancer. Your remembrances of O. J. Simpson? He killed two people, comprehensible human being. He beat his wife and then he killed her and then he killed Ron Goldman, and the jury may say otherwise. But as someone who sides with common sense, I think the world is free of one less murderer. I understand he was an iconic football player. I don't care. As far as I'm concerned, the world is

free of one less reprehensible human being. O. J. Simpson was a reprehensible human being unless they profoundly accepted responsibilities for what he did and made things right with God Ol Mahdi. He's riding in hell in hell as I speak, one incident mode. You want to hear my run in with OJ Simpson. Absolutely. It was the late nineteen nineties and I was at the rub In the Emerald Esper Major in the Bahamas. It was a flight from Cincinnati

right to Freeport. It was wonderful. I was with the great Bartosik also known as Mike Bartosic, as you might know, was a tied end for what he hayes five, about two hundred and fifty pounds. I was with Mike McCall, a great Xavier basketball player six foot six, you know, Mike about two hundred and thirty pounds. And Wayne Carucci, who was an MMA boxer now owns a trucking company, so we worried. The four of us are down there and we'll go up to number one t on the Emerald.

And we're sitting there and I'm getting the scorecard together. They get strokes, who gets strokes? What's your handicapped? And I could send somebody pulled up a foot for me. I'm driving the cart right next to me. Now I look over and there's O. J. Simpson by himself in the cart about three feet. And I spent the last five years of my life talking about Johnny Cochran and about Nicole, and about Ron Goldman, about the knife. I was there for the verdict because the Reds were playing the Dodgers

at Chavez Ravine in the playoff game nineteen ninety five. I was with the Yidman and Kevin Christopher and Segment and wild Man Walker. We were covering the Reds and I look, I said, Juice, and he reaches his hand and he said, but how you doing man? I said, I'm doing well. He said you got four and I said, yeah, how many of you guys? He said we only have three? And they were behind this and I said, well, why don't you guys go ahead. So he pulls about twenty feet away from me, gets out of the cart.

He's shaking the hands of the Great Bartosi, and he shaking the hands of Mike McCall and Wayne Carucci. And he's two playing partners. Whore they are. Those guys are huge too. And I'm sitting there watching this scene, and I'm getting more and more pissed off. I'm thinking, here's this guy that just beat his wife almost to death, repeatedly abused her, hurt her, and then slices her, decapitates her and Ron Goldman because he thought she

was dating some other guy. And I can only assume he thought the other guy was Ron Goldman, who neither party knew. And so I'm watching this for five or ten minutes. There could not been a guy with more personality and more of effervescent other people from the Punting Green would come over. O JJ jews, she's getting pictures taken. I said, this is ridiculous. So, because I was with these other three guys, I walked up to him and I said, Juice, by the way, who'd you kill first?

Because I think you probably you probably stabbed Ron Goldman and incapacitated this guy. And I've had on Ron Goldman's father who wrote a book, A Wonderful Man, and also his attorney, Ron Goldman's attorney, and then Nicole. And because I think you had the larger mail, it was dark. It was a greton, the green. You had to kill her first, and then you knew you could always handle the cole because she was a woman. And suddenly he went from joyous and happy, called me every rotten mf name

of the book, and got on the t and went on. And Mike McCall says to me, we better let those guys get a whole ahead of us, and I said, and so they're laughing, And so we made sure we stayed well back. A few hours go by, we finish up with golf, and they had a nice little casino there. We used to go down to March and ben on the baskets and I'm at the bar with my guys, and I can see Oj about thirty yards away holding court at

the end to the bar, and he's with beautiful women. Everyone there wanted to and Wayne Crouch he says to me, Willie, you better get the hell out of here. I said, no, no, crap, said he might have a knife on him. So I slowly slinked my way off to the side, went back to my room, double locked the door, and stayed there. That's my that's my brush with greatness. Smart man.

You know, as a singular cultural event, I'm not sure we've had anything over the last thirty years like the Bronco Chase June seventeenth, nineteen ninety four, running concurrent with Game five of the NBA Finals. We do sometimes, you know, topics like the events that you wish Twitter would have been around for, social media would have been around for, And there's a few of

them, but number one for me is always the Ojsipson Bronco Chase. You ask anybody, and obviously if you're you know, thirty years old or thirty five years old or younger, you have no recollection of this. I was just wrapping up my junior year in high school. I could tell you what I was doing, who I was with, what jokes were being made, what we were all thinking, and then what the fifteen months later, sixteen months later, October third, nineteen ninety five, my eighteenth birthday, the

OJ Simpson Verdict. I don't know that we have had anything since that has frozen the country. We've obviously had huge news stories, lots of things have happened in politics, but at whatever time that was, I think it was right around nine o'clock am Pacific time, so noon year, the country froze to listen to a verdict, and then obviously we had the aftermath of it.

I don't know that there's been two singular events like that over the last three decades, and so I certainly do remember that entire ordeal, that entire trial. I remember all the characters that emerged, Kato Kalin, Judge, Edo, Marsha kl There have been some The ESPN five part documentary that came out in twenty fifteen was terrific. The FX mini series was really well done, and obviously, as a sports guy, there's a sports component here.

But I just my first thought was when I saw the news this morning, is the world is free of one left killer? Because you cannot convince me. I followed that trial obsessively. You cannot convince me that he didn't kill those two people. And you know, I read that he was surrounded by his children and his grandchildren, and my first thought was he was surrounded by children whose mother he killed. And there might be people who objected me saying, then I don't care. I think he was a murderer. I think

he was an awful human being. And he is if you believe his I do. He is rotting in hell right now. The verdict we're out there for three or four days, the yid Man and I and Kevin christenpher and Sagan and wild Man was announced that night. The verdict would be the next day at the La Criminal Courts building, which was like a ten block walk from where we were staying. I say to the yid Man, why don't

we go over there see what happens. So we put our REDS credentials around our neck and they allowed the media to get real close to the entryway of the LA County Courthouse. I don't know, I don't know if you ever if you've ever been there, but there's like a slight little bridge, and there's three stories below the bridge. You can look down and see three stories

of the building and seven stories straight up. And so we used our REDS credential to get into the media part and Steve Garvey shows up, who's La Dodger's first baseman, with his beautiful wife, and they got donuts. They're handing out donuts to the media. I took it. I said, hey, Steve, I'll take a donut. So we're waiting and across the street we're twenty four well armed cops on these large horses and they had the heads

of the horses and sides with armor on the horses. Behind those behind that barrier was like a thousand supporters of OJ Simpson and they got a free juice, free juice, you know all that stuff. We wait at about an hour, meeting a dona. Here comes Steve Garby, Here comes some other celebrities, some movie stars, and they walk into the court to the court house, and we stood outside with the media, and this one cop says to us. He say, hey, look, you guys in the media.

If this verdict is guilty and those thousand people come this way, you have nowhere to go. And I'm looking behind me. This a fence and behind me is thirty feet straight down. He said, you can't go forward, that's where the mob's going to be. You can't go backwards. You might think about leaving. So I say to the yidd men were here, Let's see what happens. And I said, if necessary we can run into the courthouse or maybe I don't know what to do. So they had the

loud speakers out. He's found not guilty, and suddenly in downtown Los Angeles there was a party breakout. There was singing and dancing and and uh line dancing and and the and the cops were happy because they couldn't deal with that

crowd. There was too many of them. And then later that day we went out to that Messaluna restaurant where Ron Goldman worked, made their way over to Rockingham where OJ lived, and UH got a taxi about three blocks away, walked in there, and the jurors in his case, the actual juror members in OJ Simpson's murder case, were being escorted into his house by the police. The jurors of the They went to his house to party with OJ that night, and I'm thinking, what the hell? And now they've knocked

down, you know, the three ten Rockingham has been knocked down. And Uh. Then later he was indicted in Las Vegas for some BS charges about Memorabiley. He served like eleven years in jail. That was justice. He was sued and his pension was not attachable, and he sold his Heisman Trophy. He was held in contempt for that, and we move on. But as you say, there's no cultural event at least the last forty or fifty years, because it went on for years and continues to go on until today.

But O J. Simpson is dead and may he rot in hell. Now. Secondly, I didn't want to talk to you about O. J. Simpson at all. But do you want to feel you're going to segue to the Reds, aren't you? Hunter Green? Okay? Do you want to feel depressed? So you were in Los Angeles for the OJ verdict? You were there because the Reds were in Los Angeles. That series is the

last time the Reds advanced in the postseason. I think they swept the Dodgers, didn't They win four straight, beat them three straight backs out of five. Yeah. Yeah. They beat him one games one and two out there and then beat him here eleven to one. Body Mark Lewis Grand Slam in Game three. If somebody had told me in nineteen ninety five in October that's the last time to reach and win a postseason series, I would have said

that's impossible. Because the Reds of seventy five, seventy six and ninety. They won twenty percent of all World Series games between nineteen seven of World Series rings between seventy five and nineteen ninety. Even today, they have a nine game winning streak in the World Series. They won the last game of seventy five and then swept the Yankees and swept the bash Boys. They got a nine game winning streak now six years, fifty three million dollars for one hundred

Green and I kind of know what's wrong with him. But the problem is he doesn't look like Bob Gibson. He looks like Ronnie Gibson. He can't pitch, he can't win. Has he won two games in a row the past three years? I would think not. What's wrong with Hunter Green. He's not reliable. He is uber talented, he has an electric arm. I don't know if he doesn't trust his secondary pitches. I don't know if he has yet to perfect his secondary pitches. But I see a thrower,

not a pitcher. And look, there are moments where he can panalize. Right. He pitched very well last Friday in a game the Red loss against the New York Mets. But what he hasn't been able to do on a consistent basis is take one start and make it two consecutive starts, and then making it three consecutive starts and then making it, you know, five good starts out of six. And that's until he's able to do that. To me, that the label that he has to wear is unreliable. You don't

know what you're going to get. You cannot count on him, And I would, I would, I would buy stock and Hunter Greens from the standpoint, and I think he'll get there at some point. But if the idea for the twenty twenty four Reds is to to get to the postseason and advance in the postseason, that can't happen without better, consistent, more reliable starting pitching. And they're not going to get better, more consistent, reliable starting

pitching if Hunter Green maintains a lack of reliability. Has he given any indications the past three seasons he's reliable. No. Now again, there are flashes. I mean, he had a game last September against the Minnesota Twins. He struck out fourteen guys and seven I think it's most strikeouts by any Reds pitcher in the game since two thousand. He had the game against Pittsburgh in

twenty twenty to where he threw an eight inning no hitter. He took a no hitter into the sixth inning in the game last year against the Mets, and again this past Friday. I thought he looked as locked in as I've seen him. But you know, most pitchers can do things like that in

a window, and in fact, they can do that occasionally. Hunter Green was drafted in twenty seventeen with the idea that he would be a guy that could give you that on you know, a twenty five twenty six time a year basis, where you give the ball to him and you feel like, you know what, we're winning tonight because Hunter Green's on the mount. That's when an ace is to me, right, no matter what happened the day before, no matter what's going on with your team, we're giving the ball

to this guy. We are winning tonight. When Hunter Green gets the ball, your gas is as good as mine. As what you're gonna get. You may get a very good start. He certainly has had a boatload of them. You may get a start like last night where it looks like he's throwing batting practice. You might get a start like we've seen before where it takes him, you know, one hundred pitches to get through four four plus

innings. You don't know what you're going to get. And until you have a general idea of what a hundred green starter is going to look like, I think the skepticism that he has brought on is going to continue, and it's setified. He's only twenty four years old, but he's an old twenty four And you know, last night I'm watching Wade Miley. Deal had not even half the stuff of Hunter Green. Wade Miley former Red look pretty damn good. Only pitch four innings been hurt. But I said, that guy's

pretty good. Plus it wouldn't have cost fifty three million dollars. His era now is a four point eighty six and his whip, you know, I live and die with whip when it comes to pitching, which is walks and hits per inning. His whip is one point two. So every inning, over six innings, they're gonna have nine base runners. And his problem is location and movement. And you can throw ninety nine right down the middle of the plate. I don't care that ball is going going north in a hurry.

Why can't the reds get some movement, and why can't he get rid of the location over the middle of the plight. Yeah, look, I mean I don't know that I've put that on the red. At some point he's gonna have to develop secondary pitches that compliment the fastball, and if the fastball is not moving, it's gonna amplify the lack of other pitches in his arsenal. You know, this spring we read a lot about how he was learning a split singer fastball, and he was perfecting his curve ball, and

last spring it was, well, he's working on a change up. All of that is great. I don't know if he trusts those pitches enough to throw them in dig count. And you're right, his fastball, boy, its straight is an arrow sometimes, and big league hitters are going to tee off on that. Now. Look, last night was either his forty eighth or forty ninth big league start, which is basically a season and a half worth of major league starts. He was held back by the fact that he

didn't pitch in competitive situations in the kovid year of twenty twenty. He did have Tommy John surgery, and so yeah, he's an old twenty four, but he has appeared and left and fifty big league games at the same time. You know, these many starts in we're saying the same things about Hunter

Green that we were saying in his first collection of starts. We're waiting to see it on a consistent basis, and if we don't this year, then you have a hard time convincing me that this staff as a whole can be as good as it's needed to be for this team to be as good as we hope it is. I think you said, or maybe it might have been Lance, that this team is going to go as far this year as

Hunter Green will take it. Is that true? I think they're going to go as far as their young guys are going to take it, and Hunter Green as they're arguably their most prominent young guy. Now, you could extend that to other pictures on the bat. You could extend that to guys like Ellie de la Cruz, who is certainly swinging the back pretty well right now, players like Christian and Karnassi Astream, who has gone through his struggles.

What the Reds are trying to do is really hard. They're trying to win this year and improve upon what they did last season, while they have a players who are still developing. Youth, as you know, Willie is unpredictable, youth is unreliable. This is one of the youngest teams in the sport. They have a lot of guys. Hunter Green is obviously not among them, but they have a lot of guys who a year ago were not playing at the big league level, and so what they're trying to do is not

easy. I'm not giving them an excuse. It's just it's a fact. You have a lot of guys who are developing, and you're trying to win with those players who are developing. Hunter Green has certainly included on that list of guys that you could say that about, and and and again. You know, in two or three years, if if we're still talking about, you know, so many of these guys not being players you can count on, and what the Reds are doing right now will prove to be a failure.

I think long term that's not going to happen. I think in the short term we're probably in for some high points, probably in for some moments like last night with a young guy frustrating. Lastly, I had a couple of interviews with Ron Goldman's father, freend and Fred Goldman. The dad said no, Dad could have a better son. And that relates me to Uh, We're at the mezzaluna with me and the wild Man, and the wild

Man wanted some chili or beef vegetable soup. So the wild Man, dressed in his shorts and his T shirt and his goofy looking hat and a beard, said to the server, what kind of soup do you have? She said, well, we have pureaide carrot soup. And he says, what's that? I said, wild Man, you know what pure eade carrot soup. And she almost had a tear in her eye, and I said, what's wrong? She said, we all miss Ron. He was a good guy. And so when I think about OJ Simpson dying today, I hope

it was a long, lingering death. I hope he was in a lot of pain, because he calls quite a bit of pain to many people in his living years. All right, uh, Moeger, thank you for your analysis. We'll do it again. It hurts me that you have spent more time hanging out with wild Man Walker than you sent hanging that with me. Let's continue with more the line becomes available five, one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand, Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WLW.

This afternoon wasn't scheduled to be here, but of course the Reds Baseball was canceled because of the rain. You might know, it's raining like cats and dogs. And game is scheduled to be played on August the thirtieth, which is a Friday afternoon at twelve forty part of a

twidlight doubleheader against the Brewers. The night game. It's going to be a great day of baseball, hopefully by that point the game is important. The game game is relevant. Getting back to OJ Simpson briefly, I think it's revealed and did not create so many obvious problems in the country that celebrity matters. And for those who were born after the year two thousand, there was no more beloved character in the National Football League than O. J. Simpson.

First his career at Southern Cow gets the Heisman Trophy. That classic sixty five yard run to win the Rose Bowl against UCLA was beautiful. He was physically handsome, He was a man's man and a woman's man. Loved did commercials constantly for all kinds of companies, writer and also various other entities. He did commercials for Anabisco, for insurance companies. He was a close friend of Bob Trumpy who was here. In fact, they were both NBC color

analysts that ran around together in the same circles. And he went to Buffalo, which was god forsaken part of the National Football League and in one season ran for two thousand yards for the first time, and the kind of wasted his career Buffalo because they didn't do much at all in the National Football League at that point, and eventually made his way back to San Francisco and continue

to do what he did, which was he was a pitch man. He was always jumping over things that smile would light up a room, and it was perceived as being for those who weren't close to him, and certainly no one other than Bob Trumpy I knew was close to who by the way, Bob Trumpy was shocked when he found out what had happened, and Bob Trumpy

believed from the get go that OJ Simpson killed those people. You cannot explain away Ron Goldman's blood on the gas and brake pedal of OJ Simpson's vehicle, a man that he had never met, and the footprints of OJ Simpson at the murder scene. With all that blood matched the blood found in between the creases of the rubber pedal on OJ Simpson's vehicle, It's impossible that someone could

think to that level to stay some sort of silly crime. And when it came out that the lapd covered for OJ Simpson constantly he beat up Nicole on a regular basis, leaving bruises and marks and cuts and stitches and broken bones. He brutalized that woman repeatedly, and mainly dealt with custody of the children. His philandering got to her. She finally filed for divorce, and then he wanted to control every aspect of her life thereafter, and when she would

date someone, he would show up brutalize the person she was dating. Just made her life miserable, absolutely miserable. And on the day of the murder, Nicole Brown Simpson had gone to the Mess Lunar restaurant for dinner with the girlfriends, and she was always looking around for OJ because she knew she was about to get the crap kicked out of her, and the police would not help her at all. LAPD would not help Nicole Brown Simpson, so she

either left her glasses there on purpose or by mistake. And Ron Goldman, who we don't know his motivation to go there to take her sunglasses back to her home, shows up about nine thirty ten o'clock at night and he's walking into her condo. And I've walked into I've walked there to when wild Man and I and the yid Man seg were there. We got close enough to Greta Green as the name of the street. It was a narrow little walkway

into the condo. And Ron Goldman unbeknownst to him that O. J. Simpson was also in that secluded area with a large knife in his hands, and all Ron Goldman wanted to do was to return the sunglasses to Nicole. Nicole comes to the door, comes out, and the three of them are there, and O. J. Simpson slaughtered those two innocent people, basically decapitating the head of the mother of his children and his ex wife and killing Ron Goldman. I don't know how many I knew at the time. I

was up on it and we're going back almost thirty years. Numerous stab wounds all over his body. He could not have survived. I'm sure he fought as much as he could, but it was dark and OJ Simpson was in a rage. OJ Simpson at that point was still a strong man with a knife, and he went there with a knife to do what to kill Nicole Brown Simpson, and he thought she was having an affair, et cetera. And from that point on he played the race card wonderfully for the next year

year and a half until the trial in October. Commenting in October of nineteen ninety five, and the country split largely along racial grounds because Johnny Cochrane and his defense team made sure including Kardashian, the father of the famous kardash was on the defense team with Flee Bailey. I've had Flee Bailey on a couple

of times talking about it. And they made a conscious decision to play the race card because the jury had nine blocks on it and they could not believe that that OJ would have done that, and they ignored all the physical evidence. It was. It was ridiculous. Then when O. J. Simpson tried to put on the glove that was found outside Cato Kalin's bungalow on the Simpson property. If it doesn't fit, you must to quit. O. J. Simpson did not want that glove to fit him, and so he

put his hand in the glove to make it look difficult. He had a very broad hand that he couldn't get it in. Of course, by that point it has shrunk, but that's irrelevant. That jury wanted to find a reason to find O. J. Simpson not guilty. And so that night when we go back out to Rockingham and saw the l A. P. D ushering into the O. J. Simpson estates who wanted to come and

party with OJ, it was truly unbelievable. Unbelievable to consider that LAPD Furman and that and that crew would have worked hard to plant evidence on an innocent man so that a guilty person would go free. That was totally ridiculous from the get go. But as soon as it was brought out by Flee Bailey that Furman had used the N word previously in some of his private conversations on other cases, that the end word was broadcast all over the place, suddenly

that jury just flipped and stead, it's payback, It's payback. For what happened by LAPD to many other individuals who were treated unfairly by LAPD, and so that it was payback for so many other nasty offenses that had been committed

by LAPD against the black community in Los Angeles. And that's the name of that toune and so OJ after that point continued to be a cultural icon, and a majority of people considered him to be in a sense of hero that beat the system, beat the man, and who cares if two people were killed? Many black activists said they were white people killed anyway, So they simply ignored the fact that OJ Simpson was a murderer in the vicious ways,

and he concocted evidence to make sure that he would get free. He took a plane from LA to Minnesota for an appearance, came back, etc. What happened to a lot of the burglary tools and the murder weapon is still up to conjecture as to where he dumped it. But nonetheless the physical evidence wasn't proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It was proof beyond any doubt, and the country largely has gotten to the idea now of accepting it. Many many

years later, about ten to fifteen years later. You might recall in Las Vegas he was told that his memorabilia was being sold in some hotel room. So he got his crew together and they went to that hotel room. One of the members of the crew had a gun and they wanted to take back OJ Simpson's memorabilia. Might have been also his Heisman trophy, not sure,

but game warn jerseys, etc. That were being sold. And when it came out that this occurred and a gun was involved, the Clark County Prosecutor's office went after Oj with hooks and claws, and he was convicted in front of a Las Vegas jury of an armed robbery burglary and sought a hotel room to regather his memorabilia, and then he spent the next nine to ten years in Nevada State prison, was finally paroled and wanted to make his way to Florida and today, at the age of seventy six, he died after a

long fight with prostate cancer. And even in recent interviews a couple of years ago, he said he was still looking for the real murderer, still looking. He was trying to find this real murderer in casinos, in brothels and on golf courses. That's where he was looking. Didn't find him, but

nonetheless still out there. I would assume that Oj did not repent. There was no evidence that he did, which means he's riding in hell as I speak, and may he spend eternity there with other murderers who got away with it. It was a said commentary on our judicial system. Judge etoed lancel Edo did not run much of a courtroom. He lets stuff in that should not have been let in, kept stuff out that should have been into the case, didn't control the courtroom at all. Got completely out of control of

The trial took my gosh, I don't many months. I don't know. I'd have to look it up, but it was many, many months because Judge Eto and the dancing Edos on the Tonight Show, I could not bring himself to conduct a fair trial. But in front of that jury, with Johnny Cochrane and with OJ Simpson, I find it hard to believe that that jury would have convicted him of anything. There could not have been a stronger

case against him ever made. He was the kind of person that would regularly beat up his wife, be extremely physically and emotionally cruel to her, and then in the end he tried to kill her before and then he finally did it with that knife, and unfortunately Ron Goldman, wrong place, wrong time,

and the rest, shall we say, is history. So let's continue with more after one o'clock today and after two o'clock today, we have a couple guests that we've scheduled about the media coverage of Donald Trump and also tax days coming up, as you know, on Monday, April fifteenth, and there's a sense among the American people that the rich do not pay their fair

share. I don't know who the rich are, but my guest will come in with fact figures and statistics from the Cato Institute about who pays taxes in this country and who does not pay taxes in this country. I read his column, and one thing to consider is that the top one percent are Americans, high income earners that make four hundred thousand dollars a year or more.

That's the top one percent. That money the total money they earn is twenty six percent of the total money earned, and that of that number, the

top one percent pay forty eight percent of the income tax. Forty eight percent paid by the top one percent even though the top one percent, people like segment Dennison, earned a total of twenty six percent of the income, and the top ten percent, which are those above one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars a year, the top ten percent pay approximately seventy five percent of the

taxes. And if you take the top fifty percent, which is about eighty thousand dollars a year, eight if you work about to fifty percent make eighty thousand or more and fifty percent make eighty thousand or less, that the top fifty percent paid ninety nine percent of the taxes. I put this message out in April most years to refute what liberal progressive Democrats say, which is the

rich don't pay their fair share. Without specificity, well, the fair share ought to be something in the range the top one percent should pay twenty six percent of the taxes. Because the top one percent make twenty six percent of the income, that's not the way it works. The top one percent pay forty eight percent of the taxes. So we already have a system desired by the radical left. The problem is not that government doesn't collect enough money from

us. The problem is government spends way too much money, and that would include Republicans. During the four years of Donald Trump accumulated about a seven and a half trillion dollar national debt for those four years, and now under Obama it doubled from when he got into office to when he left. Under Trump it went up fifty percent more, and then under Biden has gone up two trillion dollars a year every year. And so we can't stop spending money.

And if you listen to the State of the Union address, it's obs This president wants to spend a lot more money, with a lot more government programs, and tax more people who are the evil rich already pay most of the taxes anyway. So that's the name of that tone. And we continue to look upon the reds and Hunter Green as something down the road that can get better. He's only twenty not quite twenty four years old, and he's got

a six year, fifty three million dollar contract. He's got a million dollar arm and about a ten cent ability to use that arm for productive purposes. I thought he was the second coming of Bob Gibson, but I don't think so. So let's continue with more and later on we have a person that monitors media coverage. Would you be surprised to learn that about ninety three percent of the media coverage of Donald Trump is negative. Well, when it comes

to Joe Biden, it's about forty five percent. So the media chooses sides and they cover Trump completely differently than they cover Biden. By the way, you may know, Trump's not in office, Joe Biden is the president. You would think the president would garner a lot of coverage from the mainstream media. But the mainstream media believes that if they say something nice about Donald Trump, it's going to hurt their guy, Joe Biden. And that is not

the way things are supposed to work in this great country. Absolutely not. And for those who say that they're a never Trumper, they can't take it anymore. They have to. They can't put up with Donald Trump and hiss, peccadillos, etc. I would say, reconsider, rethink about what you're going to do, which is keep Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in office, to continue to borrow money, have a horrible foreign relation policy, open up

the southern border. Hundreds of thousands of Americans dead every year from FANDOL, and our cities are in complete utter collapse. Our cities are garbage cans without the handles, and that cannot continue long term. We can't survive. We cannot survive the way things are now. Vatanela is killing tens of thousands a year. Ten million legal aliens have streamed across the southern border, a lot of them, many of them are criminals committing vicious crimes, raping and murdering

Americans right now. And we have relatively sure that a significant number of Chinese military infiltrators are among us working in these bootleg thousands of marijuana gross sites that need thousands of new workers. We badly need a new president to go a completely different direction. And if we don't, our children and grandchildren will pay well. Let's continue the line becomes available five three, seven, four nine,

I'm Eddie and I'm his life dev for Trio Bistro in the heart of Kenwood. Trio is our go to spot for tax plans are out and tax Days coming up on Monday. And when I look at polling as to what the American people believe about who pays taxes,

it is completely different than reality. Of course, reality and politics often doesn't matter. What matters is perception. And I saw a gallupol about six years ago and I caught some of it, and the gallupole said American people said that top one pay six percent of the taxes, the top ten percent of way journers pay twenty six percent of the taxes, and the rest are born by middle class Americans. Now, nothing could be further from the truth.

It is simply not the facts, because facts are available. In fact they're available every year, but the message often does not get out. Joining you and I now from the Cato Institute, a great organization is Adam Michelle and Adam Michelle, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. First of all, can you tell the American people the mission of the Cato Institute to put it in perspective? Hell? Yeah, well, thanks for having me on here.

At the Cato Institute, we're a nonpartisan research organization and forming policy makers towards libertarian policies of smaller government, more free markets, lower taxes. In the case of my work, where we work with Congress and inform the public sort of about the reality exactly what you were talking about. So what actually is going on rather than what the perception is. Let's break it down. We

got to talk about the tax plan. Joe Biden, who's absent socialist, wants to say that we need to raise taxes on companies corporations as if they don't pass on those expenses to consumers. But just in a rough sense, every year, break down the tax brackets as far as who pays taxes, the top one percent, the top ten, fifty percent. Tell the American people the truth. Yeah, the top one percent of income earners pay about

forty six percent of all income taxes. If you expand that down to the top ten percent, the top ten percent of income earners pay about seventy six percent of all income taxes. You and the United States actually has one of the most progressive tax systems in the developed world, despite what the President or a lot of other folks would have you believed. We kind of went over

that quickly. I want that to sync in and what concrete then, I wanted to harden the top one percent, which is about is that about three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in income four hundred thousand is out about that number. Yeah, I think it might be a bit higher than that now, but that's in the ballpark. So if you make four hundred thousand dollars or more, the top one percent pay forty six percent of the income tax.

The top ten percent, which would be something the range of one hundred and seventy five k a year, pay seventy six percent of the state income tax. And as far as the top fifty percent of the bottom fifty percent, I think that number breaks down to about eighty thousand dollars for those who make above eighty thousand dollars and you're in the top fifty percent, what percent of the income tax are paid by those workers? The top fifty percent pay

almost all of the taxes. It's something like ninety ninety eight percent of the taxes are paid by the top fifty percent of income taxes are paid by the top fifty percent. And you have a column up about paying your fair share. One of the great bumper stickers is the rich have got to pay their fair share. When you hear that Adam Michelle or the Cato Institute, do the rich already pay their fair share? How much more can you pay?

It certainly seems that way to me. A President Biden Austen trot out the statistic that the billionaires of the richest people in the United States pay an average tax rate of eight percent. But if you actually go to the data released by his Treasury Department every year, you'll see that the highest earning point zero one percent of income earners in the United States actually pay an all in estimated average tax rate of well above thirty percent. And that's sort of all inclusive

a payroll income and the rest of it. And if you go down the income distribution, that tax average tax rates declined until you actually get negative average tax rates for the lowest income Americans, again showing how incredibly progressive the United States federal income taxes. It's fair to say we have what liberal Democrats seek, which is high income americans pay the great majority. Why is it not

readily acceptable to average Americans as to those facts? Because you can take these numbers, the top one percent pay forty six percent, the top ten percent pay seventy six percent, the top fifty percent pay ninety nine percent of the taxes. But people don't believe that, right. Yeah, I think a lot of that is because the political class isn't honest with them. It isn't when we sort of cross out these statistics that are just simply not based in

reality. I think your point that we have the tax system a lot of Democrats want is really apt, and they but there's a flip side of that, or would they point to the way that Europe does their taxing. They want big government, big social services, and higher taxes than we have,

like a lot of European countries do. The way that those countries pay for that big government is actually higher taxes on poor people and the middle class to evalue added tax for much higher income tax rates that hit much lower down the income distribution, and so the reality of where where democrats want us to go is not higher taxes on the wealthy, but instead higher taxes on middle class. Americans and so called billionaires generally have no income which is subject to the

income tax rates. They have capital gains, and capital gains rates are lower than the income tax tables. And billionaires have all the rich CPAs and accountants money can buy to find loopholes things of that character that average Americans do not have. Now the State of Union address about a month ago that Biden stumbled

through horribly. He talked about making corporations and businesses in America pay quotes their fair share, and that he wants to grossly increase the tax rates paid by corporations, by companies, etc. Explain to the American people, Adam Michelle, why that is a bad idea. So the United States competes for businesses, for global talent, for investment, for jobs with other countries all around the world, businesses can quite easily move. They did this a lot before

the twenty seventeen tax because they were inverting their headquarters to Europe. So when you raise the business income tax, the corporate income tax above the sort of art average of our largest trading partners, you start losing investment and jobs and businesses. And so Biden wants to raise our corporate income tax rate back up, so we have about the second highest rate in the developed world, putting us back into that world pre twenty seventeen when businesses couldn't leave the United States

fast enough. So by doing so, companies would leave the America and the United States and go to Mexico, go to Taiwan, go to the Philippines or whatever. And secondly, isn't it true that if companies corporation's income tax bill goes up, do they increase the cost of goods and services to sell to the public, which means inflation would be in a runaway mode. So most of the corporate income taxes actually passed on to workers in the form of

lower wages. It does get passed on to some investors, and does go into higher prices, but most of it actually shows up in a way of hurting workers, both in the form of slower wage growth and fewer jobs. And so when you cut the corporate income tax rate. It's actually a benefit to working Americans here in the United States, and that's what we saw when it was cut in twenty seventeen, and what I would expect to see the reverse of if we were to raise it back up to sort of internationally high

levels. And you have a posting about energy subsidies, win the spending madness at twenty twenty four some of your I'm going to share that with the American people, But can you talk about what's happening in California with their governor Gavin Newsom, who is perceived to be the President in waiting, because nobody with

any common sense would ever think that Kamala Harris could be the president. But nonetheless, he wanted to give more money to low income workers by taking the minimum wage from twelve bucks an hour to twenty bucks an hour, and then it goes up from there. And in fact, the twenty bucks an hour to a McDonald's worker does not take into account the taxes that worker is liable to have the employer spend on like unemployment, workers compensation, all that stuff,

So the twenty bucks an hour is even a lower. Why is it a bad idea for government? Mandates to tell the fast food workers, We're going to pay you a lot more money, and isn't that a good thing? Yeah, Well, when you raise the minimum wage, especially as high and as quickly as they have in California, it leads to additional automation and the pushing out of those sort of starter jobs that help you get that first

rung on the ladder to then earn higher wages in the future. So often, what we've seen after these types of large minimum wage taxing, large minimum wage increases is that it hurts actually the people, the exact same people that you're oftensibly trying to help. And so instead, I think we should be focusing on pro growth policies that allow businesses to expand and hire more people, creating additional opportunities for those workers, and letting markets push wages up rather than

government mandates. You know, it's a perfect example of the law of untended consequences. The intent was to put more money into pockets of low wage workers. In reality that caused them to be unemployed and more ais being used and production methods are being done by machines of one type or another, and therefore

those it intends to help it hurts. Secondly, I see that the Inflation Reduction Act Whenever, which is passed two years ago by only Democratic votes, and you have a posting Energy subsidies win spending Madness of twenty twenty four. The results from the spending Madness suggest that the highest priority budget cut for Congress is the vast corporate welfare unleashed by the IRA is favored by the Inflation Reduction Act. And you note that the economy was flooded with at least one trillion

dollars and more spending and narrow tax breaks for corporation across many industries. Why are the energy subsidies we think about cylinder, et cetera. Why is that a terrible idea? And why do the Inflation Reduction Act actually increase inflation? Yeah, the name of the bill is perhaps the most laughable part of this whole thing. It was originally supposed to to include about just a couple hundred billion dollars of tax credits I shouldn't say just, but tax credits for these

types of preferenced energy and types of energy. The cost is now balloon to well over a trillion dollars, likely one point eight trillion dollars over ten years. Some of these things are ultimately made permanent. So this is one just additional inflationary spending sort of going out going out the door. But two,

it makes energy markets less efficient. It's Washington choosing the type of car that you that you're going to drive and the type of where your energy gets to, rather than the market and consumer demand choosing those sort of the cars and the energy that is most sustainable for the economy. And so it's just another

form of central planning industrial policy out of Washington. All right, let's get on to the issue of borrowing about one trillion dollars every one hundred days if you take and you know the number, if you take Social Security, Medicare, medicaid, if you take interest on the national debt, federal retirement programs, and the defense budget, which those items are really never cut. In fact, they have to go up in a sense that's about eighty percent of

the budget. And so how do you get to a balanced budget when you have are going to add about twenty trillion dollars to the national debt over the next ten years and we're talking twenty thirty four, We're going to have accumulate national debt in the range of fifty five trillion dollars fifty five trillion dollars, which is completely unsustainable. That is Banana Republic. How do you get to a balanced budget when you have over eighty percent of the budget is to areas

that are sacred cows. You know the answers. You can't have sacred cows. Everything needs to be on the table, and if it's not, then we're going to continue to sort of spiral out of control. If you take those mandatory spending items medicare, Medicaid, social Security, and interest on the debt, leaving defense spending off to the side, just those pieces will will will be larger than all the projected tax revenue coming in the door in just

a couple of years. And so that tells me that sort of spending growth is the problem and we have to reform every single one of those things you mentioned. Otherwise, taxes are going to have to go up on middle class Americans and that will be that will ultimately be painful. To go back to your first point, I want to make this apparent to the American people. The top one percent pay forty six percent, but what percent of total income

in the country. Does the top one percent earn. They earn about twenty six percent of the total income, and they pay forty six percent of all taxes. So that sort of gets again to this point of the wealthy are paying much more than the share of the income they're earning, and more than their fair share by that metric. So the increased taxes that must be increased in the middle class. And that's a problem. Right, Let's talk about if I would have you on with me in five, six, seven years

from now. Let's get out the crystal ball. Let's say Joe Biden slash slash Kamala Harris win November the fifth, and let's say the Democrats take over the House and they keep they keep the Senate, and they go back into another inflation Reduction Act mode and continue to gallop federal spending out of control. How can you determine when the debt crisis comes? And secondly, Adam Michelle, what would that look like and how will that impact the average Americans because

we've got to get a handle on that. Yeah, well, that's the trillions of dollars. That's the trillion dollar question is when the when the true fiscal crisis hits and I wish I knew. There's no one really knows when that tipping point is. But we can't continue to have a two trillion dollar gap between the revenue that comes in the door and the spending that goes out the door. Eventually something has to break, and that'll be It's going to

be painful. It'll look like higher inflation. It will look like dramatic, necessary cuts to government spending. It will also to probably entail higher taxes, not just those earning over four hundred thousand dollars a year, but every single American. There'll be slower economic growth and a lot of pain. And so that's why making those reforms to the budget now is so important. The sooner we start these conversations and actually start making reforms, the easier it ultimately will

be all right once again. Cato Institute, c at O Keto Institute. I encourage the American people and talking out the website, lots of good stuff there. This is the most predictive financial crisis ever to strike any country. I've been talking about this for the last ten to fifteen years, and the next five to ten years will be utterly ridiculous. When it comes to federal spending. I sends that Joe Biden slash Kamala Hair slash Gavin Newsom has no

clue, no desire to cut federal spending at all. They want to increase taxes. We went over who pays the taxes, and that's impossible to cut any more muscle out of the body of those who have high incomes. And once again, Adam Michelle, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And Adam, you're a great American. Thanks for having me on. It's a pleasure. God bless America.

We don't serve cheeseburgers and chili or beef vegetable soup.

No, it's cream of carrot soup. Wild Man, and he had a T shirt on and a pair of shorts prisoner. T shirt prisoner. And then you and I go to for some reason Christopher and wild Man Kevin us explain what happened at the verdict the verdict that we walked the steps. We wanted to see where all this took place. We go to the way it was that Greta Green. We go there with a murder and we're about ten

yards you know, it's a We're looking out how tight it was. And then we go to the actual La County courthouse for the verdict with Dodger First Base and Steve Garby. And this was the best part because we didn't have We weren't We didn't have passes to get in. No, but you said to the guy, look here media. It was our baseball press passes for the game that night against the Dodgers. We get into the press area on the steps of the courthouse. It's all fenced off with you know, the

the bicycle rail stuff, so you can't get through. There was and I'm not kidding, at least twelve police horses fully armored. Now horses were armored. The horses were armored. The cops on top of them were armored and armed a fifteens in each hand. And we're just sitting there waiting for the verdict, and I look up and here comes Steve Garvey, the Great Dodger, just walking down the street with a box of doughnuts for the Simpson Brown family. So I say, hey, Steve, how you doing. He

got an extra donut? I think he gave me a cream puff everyone. So he's walking in with a beautiful blonde wife. And this cop says to me, he said, look, if this verdict goes the wrong way and those thousand people behind that police line come this direction, you're on your own. Because we were like thirty feet in the other was a moat between us and the building that was underground. I looked at my right, there's a thirty foot jump down to the first three levels of this huge building. We

would not have made it to the game that night. No, it would have been bad and Sega. At the game that night, I wanted int do Hedeki Nomo, who was pitching for the Dodgers. Right sovana before the game, I run into this Japanese photographer from Osaka. I said, look, I'm a radio talk shows from Cincinnati. He says something. I said, I'd like to interview you about Hedeki Andomo, and he says something in Japanese and I think he said yes. So I pull up my tape recorder.

I asked my questions in English. There was some other interpreter there, the father of Otani's interpreter. I think it would interpret my question to the Japanese news man, and I said, we have a duchy Nomo getting ready

to pitch against the Reds very important series here in Cincinnati. Here here against Cincinnati, two games there, one game here, And so I asked a ten minute interview which was chopped up and sent all over Reds Land with me interviewing at Duchy Noma before the game, and this guy was a cameraman nice, and you's going like this, You're on your own. You're on your own because this could I said, what the hell? What can happen to

me? Nothing? Did? Did you think you at that point, which is twenty nine years ago, that the Reds that'll be the last time they won a game in the postseason? No? I did not. And also on that day twenty nine years ago, I bought the shirt off the street vendor which I still have that says if it doesn't fit, then you must have quit. Can't make it up. Hey, Twitter, world, it

A female doctors on this morning she made the best analogy I've heard. She said that being vaccinated is like wearing your seatbelt, that it doesn't guarantee you won't get in an accident, but if you do,

you have a much better chance of surviving. Hey, get your shots. I don't like wearing masks, and as you people who aren't getting the shots that have brought this mask thing back. I'm just saying, take care. OJ giving medical advice a PSA BYOJ perfect Willie with this morning. I got up and I found myself watching Meet the Press. They had the baby Lwamaswami on now Light the debates, the Republican debates. I said, hey, this guy is onto something. Then he'll say something. I said, Oh

my god, I attributed to his youth. I guess now. First, let me make it clear. I'm not a Republican. I'm also not a Democrat. I would have called myself independent, but I'm probably I'm a little more a libertarian, even though I think you vote for the best person. I don't care what party they're in. And listening to this guy, I do have this book. I've only got like thirty percent into the book, but I love what he was saying in this book. I was saying,

it's fresh, it's new. I mean, yeah, you can't make it up. No, you can't make it up. And I can't make this up either. When you were in the Bahamas with OJ, one of the great stories of all time please tell the story. I'm there with three of my boys. Mike Bartosik, right, Bartosic, tight end for what he hayes, big guy, good good golf. Also Mike McCall, Xavier Basketeer. You know Mike, Yes, I know Mike Well, big guy. And then Wayne Carucci. He owns a trucking company now, but he was

an MMA fighter. He boxed for a living. He beat people up. And Vinnie's about six three, about twoint forty, so I figure, you know, what the hell? So I'm sitting there ready to tee off, and I could sense a car pulled up next to me. I'm doing the scorecards. See Mike got eight strokes, Vinnie gets twelve, Gray Bartosic and I play even. And I looked to my left. There about three feet away is OJ Simpson by himself and a golf car. And his head's the

size of the juice. Fuck it, that's what I say. I said, juice. He said, hey, man, how you doing that? You? I said, what do you do? As I'm a radio talk show host? He said, hey, hopefully you're good. When a lawyer, he said, I always need lawyers. So with that, the other guys came over. He got up, walked about ten yards away. They run another group on the putting green. They say, juice walker. They walk over and at that point they're talking, getting a few pictures or whatever.

And uh, I'm looking at this scene thinking, I'm getting pissed off because did he kill the mother of his children in a brutal way? Yes? Did he beat her up repeatedly ahead of time? Yes? And in cold blood? Did he slaughter Ron Goldman? Had nothing to do with either one of the two. Yes, And I had on fred it by that point I had fred on went to father this son of them. So I go up there and I say, hey, Juice, Yeah, man,

what you got? I said, who'd you kill first? Because I thought Ron Goldman was six to one the autopsy sixty one eighty five, good looking guy strong. I think that you had to kill him first, or at least incapacity to him. Then you go and decapitated the mother your children? Do I have that right? And uh oh suddenly the mood changes. I didn't hurt anybody else, and so he's uh M math this and M math

that? A white AMV So they there was only a threesome. They go off and and Wayne Crouchy says, look, let's let them get to hold it two ahead of us. I said, don't hit that. We're not hitting into OJ. I said, correct. So that night we used to go to the Esper Major Princess Casino because you get bet on baskets. It was in March, you could actually legally bet on and we sit there,

you know, and make basketball bets. And at the end of the bar a nice place about twenty yards a where I saw OJ sitting there with two of his friends, and then the women were going nuts. Women were just attracted to him like bees to honey. And Mike McCall looks at me and said, you got to get out of here. I said no, no, So I sluck off to the right, walked around. I went home. I went back to my room and double bullet at my door, and I put a sign on saying do not disturb. I don't know I would

have kept me safe or not, but it was a classic moment. It was a classic moment. Yes, do you still think in Buffalo they think he's innocent? No, no, one with a brain, not even in Buffalo.

You got to scoot a little closer if you would, please. There you go. You can move the mic anyway you want. Uh. I'm sure everyone knows that in professional athletics you have days when you're incredibly high and you have days when you're incredibly

low. And in the last forty eight hours, I tend to think that Brian Pillman is probably going to going to both extremes low yesterday because he was way. But once the explanation by Sam, look we want to clear you through waivers, bring you back, and then the elation of clearing waivers coming back in the Cincinnati Bengals, I imagine nor Wood is just about lighting the fireworks up right now. Congratulations Brian, Thank you very much. Bomb.

I'm sure it's a lifelong dream come true to play for this team in this town at the professional level. It sure is. I remember many many afternoons on Sunday watching watching the megal plays, in particular, watching you out there catch some touchdown passes and don't try to make friends with me. Now I have no control over your career. We could be friends, but you don't have to. Look it's not going to do you any good to compliment me.

But nevertheless, anyway, and I remember watching some frustrating losses wish and I could be out there helping them win. And now I've got that opportunity, and I'm really excited about it. I don't believe you. I don't One last story about flying Brian Pillman. I get a call from somebody with the WWF at that point, and on the line with me is his wife, Brian Pillman. And his wife asked me, Bill, would you do Brian Pillman's eulogy? And I said sure. He got you and Vince McMahon.

I said sure, because I was going to go on the road with him and be a road manager. We were going to have an act on that road. Those are the days, seg Man, you were going to be like mister Fuji or Paul Haman her Blassy Freddy Blassy, the Hollywood fashion Please, So I gave a nice eulogy for flying Brian Pillman and along with Vince McMahon. Whatever happened to that guy? He's got no controversy. Never, let's continue with more on news Radio seven hundred WLW. Open up our

Check it out on seven hundred wlw's live stream on the iHeartRadio app. Hey, I'm Eddie and I'm his wife Deb For Trio Bistro

in the heart of Kenwood. Trio is our go to spot for great food, great service, and a really fun bar to hang out with friend, I go cunning. In the Great American the national media, the so called legacy media, the so called big time media, fashions and coins itself as an objective arbitrator of what's happening in the world, especially the world of politics. If you talk to those who have run The New York Times or ABCNBCCBS,

they consider themselves to be journalist and not left doing ideologues. Of course, I think I know the answer that question. But nonetheless, there are rating agencies available, like Media Research Center and others who every day, every hour, every minute, tapes every broadcast everywhere to determine a score and a ranking and a rating as far as who's objective and who is not, because it is imperative that our so called news media provides Americans with objective, independent

information upon which each of us can cast an informed ballot. And if we don't get that information because too many of us are so busy, we don't have time to watch ABC, NBCCBS, NPR, we don't have time to watch CNN and Brightbart, we don't have time to watch Fox or read every newspaper in the country. So Media Research Center is one of those organizations that does that for you, MRC, Media Research Center, and it's a lustative.

What happened an NPR National Public Radio Allegedly the taxpayer puts in one hundred million dollars a year or more to make sure. Why we do this is stupid, really stupid to pay government employees money to be ideologically hard left, But an editor of NPR said, and he's still working there to my knowledge that NPR has lost its original mission. It's not a fair, independent news gathering organization. It's a left wing platform because eighty seven of the employees or

Democrats. How many Republicans The answer is zero. It doesn't work. They're a propaganda arm, like a Pravda or a Vestia in the old Soviet Union. So joining you and I now is Joseph Asquez. He's with Media Research Center, and there's a group called NewsGuard that had always given The New York Times a flawless one hundred percent score when it comes to freedom of speech. And Joseph Asquez, first of all, what is the mission of the Media

Research Center? Then we'll talk about NewsGuard in a moment. What is the mission of your group? The mission of the Media Research Center is to watch the media, so you won't have to That's essentially what way you don't have to watch it because you can go online and say, Okay, ABC News did this, NBC News did that, CBS News does The fact checkers were laid off when Trump was defeated in twenty twenty one and January twentieth, all

the fact checkers at CNN got fired. They didn't want to check facts. So when Biden recently said that inflation was so bad under Donald Trump, they've pulled it down. If Donald Trump had said a similar thing, somebody would jumped up and said, you know what, fact checked. When Trump left office, inflation was one point four percent and today it's close to four to

five percent. Benezeia as nine percent, But nonetheless, explain to the American people what is NewsGuard and what is their rating of The New York Times. Oh well, NewsGuard is essentially a Lestus media ratings firm, and the main mission of the NewsGuard is to go out to the advertisers of right wing outlets,

right winging outlets that don't comport with the elector's narrative. We have the media which are going to have been calling out news Guards left us by it for three years and one of the most embarrassing they just utterly embarrassing ratings that news Guard did so left leaning outlets is if it's not an indicative of it's bias, is that it peatedly gave legacy outlooks like the New York Times USA today perfect one hundred out of one hundred scores. They raid on a zero

to one hundred scale. And I mean, come on, I mean, can you be any more explicit with your bias than that. You're talking about The New York Times, the same outlet, the same outlet that is pushed the Russia collusion hopes, the same outlet that's repeatedly gas flighting for Bidenomics. You're talking about You're talking about an outlet that goes far back decades to the era of Walter durandy are Man in Moscow, who was showing from the Soviet

Union. This particular outlet is considered to be the flawless example of journalism. So when we caught that, finally NewsGuard after we called them out for continuing to do that, they downgraded The New York Times around thirteen points because apparently, according to NewsGuard now, the New York Times doesn't quote distinguish between news and opinion responsibly. And my reaction was, have you been living under a

rock for the past twenty years or something? I mean, like, I mean, for cooks take to incorporate opinion into all of their news coverage with a left wing plant that's public. That's one of the reasons why that we need research center exists because outworks like The New York Times repeatedly tried to dact like the American people with a left wing bent on all of its coverage. And that's what we found out here. And it's like, well, guess what I mean, Well, you did it. You finally realized that the

New York Times wasn't flawless. Well good, I mean, you just took it. It's just taking you years to figure that out. It's unbelievable. And when was the last time the New York Times for President endorsed the Republican or the last time the Cleveland Plane Dealer and Cleveland endorsed their Republican for president. The answer is it's never happened. Never, It never happened, exactly right. And you know that's that's what made this whole thing just just pretty

hilarious. Because we had done analysis of newsguards rating bias. We used We used an all data from a firm called all Sides, And what they do all Sides is that they rate left and right leaning outlets based on their bias right to left. So we use their lists and what we found repeatedly is

that NewsGuard heavily favored left wing outlets over right leaning outlets. I mean, our recent study just found that NewsGuard is tend to get an average score of ninety one out of one hundred to left leaning outlets, while only in abysmal sixty five out of one hundred to right leaning outlets, and that bias has remained the same of course, three consecutive years. We've we've conducted that team

study over three consecutive years, and the bias remains the same. And now they seems to be paying attention because now they're realized, Hey, guess what, maybe we shouldn't say that these outlets are flawless like the New York Times one of the perfect examples, And funnily enough, news Guard included this and

their update of the New York Times label. When The New York Times falsely accused Israel of bombing the hospital, the Alli hospital in Gaza City, you know, some time ago, following the Optober seventh geneside Bahamas, they falsely accused Israel of engaging in this in this bombing purely on the word of Hamas, and they got called out, They got ripped to shreds for it because because they were part of leaving this charge, and they led to international uproar,

international funeral mass protests, and NewsGuard finally included that scandal inside their nutrition label after we called them out and said, hey, NewsGuard, we wrote a piece from the pay news Guard. Why do outlets that random the word of hamas the falsely accused Israel? Why do they get perfect scores? That was over three months ago, and just just months later they decided to upgrade

the the nutrition label noting the scandal. And I'm like, for goodness sake, there's endless amount of anecdotes to show that The New York Times is not flawless. But that's what they want to convince the American people that NewsGuard is not how fallish and makes one makes it even war scale if that NewsGuard has received federal money years ago. A couple of years ago, the Department of Defense gave US seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars contract Q NewsGuard Q news Guard

and tax payer money, So the American people are financing this monstract. It's like NPR. NPR even liberals have stopped listening to NPR that we fund. That is ridiculous that the taxpayer sends one hundred million dollars and so every year to NPR when it's a left wing platform that has much of propaganda, and I'm glad they're one of their editors stood up and said we can't continue to

do this. Juan Williams, I've had him on my show several times from Fox News, was fired like ten or twelve years ago because he didn't tell he was a liberal, but he wasn't liberal enough for NPR, and he was fired. I want to ask you a big question, because I get this quite often in talk radio. If you take ABC, NBC, CBS, take all the newspapers, take NPR, take college campuses, take those who form opinions and express them, ninety nine percent are liberals or leftists.

When I watch Reverend Al Sharpton as the voice of Reason on Morning Joe, I'm thinking, well, that's a perfect example. NBC allows that kind of crap to go out over the airwaves as if they're journalists. Why are so many journalist editors, those who run the national media ninety percent of it in this country? Why are they so liberal? Where does that come from?

Well, I mean it just comes from society. The Marxists has done an exquit job of politically speaking, in infiltrating every aspect of society in order to get their message across, whether it be in the college campuses as he mentioned, or whether they media, whether even in the halls of government. We're entering into a dystopian era that even the great George Orwell put in that had

foreseen in all of his wisdom. This is dystopia on steroids. We have a media that is now doing the bidding of government rather than holding government accountable. And it's just absolutely bonkers, bonkers that in some of these outlets that you mentioned in Huge Guard or NPR or PDS, let's a TDS for example, they're getting financed by the tax payadults. So imagine people are getting finance or financing outlets that are insulting them with leftist propaganda. Continues to go on.

But the NPR editors just came out and said, he admitted what we all knew was going on behind the you know, behind behind the van. We knew that NPR was to left this out, but now this editors just

came out and proved a point. And you know, you and I were talking a little bit earlier, said apparently, according to this editor Over eighty Democrats are in editorial positions at NPR, So we know that these in youerro Republicans, and so we know that most of this content that's coming out of NPR Findings for the tax Payer is going to have an extreme leftist bent.

It is an insult. It is an insult to American's intelligence. And not only that, it's an insult to the American taxpayer that not only did they have to hear this nonsense and a day to day, but they also are paying for it to their taxes. Absolutely ridiculous, this insanity, utter insanity, you know. Joseph Askas of Media Research Center, I would like to think that if the election were held on Tuesday, Donald Trump would win the

election. However, he's going to be sitting in your city courtroom for eight weeks or so. And I have a concern that if he wins again November the fifth, that the media and the Democrats and the lawsuits and the prosecutors will not let him be the president. They did not permit that. In twenty sixteen or seventeen, as Pizi courts issued illegal snooping of the Trump campaign and the Trump White House and James Comy was in charge of that along with

Brennan. They did not let him be the president because they attacked him mercilessly and impeached him immediately and issue subpoenas all over the federal government executive branch. Do you have any hope that if Trump does win, that the American people get this figured out between now and then, that Donald Trump can actually be the president, have a honeymoon period, and that the mainstream media that wants to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsen that they're going to step

away, step down and become journalists. Is that possible that our media would cover this thing objectively? As far as the media covering objectively, I would say not. I mean, they've already shown where they're making their bed. And you know, it's not even just the media anymore, it's big tech.

And now we find out that not to be big tech platforms that have networked that surpassed that of many of countries, whether it be Google or Facebook, or whether it be TikTok or these others you know that have that have engaged in math censorship across the past past couple of years and now we find out that the government is colluding with these platforms behind closed doors. I know that the sensor speech that is disagreeable to the Biden narrative. I mean,

we are We're not even living in American society anymore. We're living in what Mark Le then called Amertopia. This is the new dystopiing era that the American people are living in, which is why we have to be vigilant now when it comes to protecting the freedom of speech, when it comes to when it comes to the rights to speak freely online. If we do not if we do not make a point in making a voice is heard, now, the freedom of if the freedom of speach, those every other freedom is going to

go by the wayside. We're living in a very dangerous and critical point in American history and the America and people need to be vigiling because there are forces out there right now that are looking to take away their freedoms by force, and they will happen and let the American people make their voices hurt college campuses. I watched the story and one of the one of the morning talk shows about being a Jewish student and a large university is dangerous and then I look

the lack of freedom of speech on college campuses. You can you can be at Stanford Law, You're can be a Columbia. You're gonna be at Harvard or Yale, and which is supposedly freedom of speech bastions. Well, you've got to have freedom of speech. But if there's someone supporting Israel or some conservative that will show up at Stanford College of Law, uh, they will

be shouted down. You can't speak. In fact, in one college campus, the Jewish students were hiding out in a closet because they feared for their lives and the security at the college campus didn't protect them. Now they're suing that college. I think it's Columbia for serious money damages. You have run gains is to hide out in storage clausets because of the left on college campuses

attacking and eliminating freedom of speech, and the leaders were the adults. Vanderbilt University expelled two students, and Vanderbilt, by the way, is in Tennessee, for God's sakes. But Vanderbilt expelled two students and reprimanded ten more for physically intimidating those with whom they disagreed. What happened on college campuses to the freedom of speech movement on what happened on every major college campus. It has

been the First Amendment has destroyed what happened. You know, it kills you are further than that, you know, these universities also receiving tax of funds as well. I They're like millions, millions of dollars. And so not only are the American students seemed subject to this gross of the schooled Texastopian environment on college campuses, but then the American people are also having to pay for it as well. I mean it has utter insult. It is utter insult.

I mean, you know, I went I went to the George Washington University. I attended there myself, a very left wing university. And you know what I was told there, like as far as like from the conservatives on campus. And you know the advice I was giving argue like a liberal, think like a conservative. In other words, if you want to survive as a conservative on these campuses, you need to argue like you're a liberal,

but maintain your conservative principle that's supposedly how you define. That's pathetic. That's pathetic that people who either support Israel or have conservative principles literally have to live in the shadows just so that they can survive the university and college campuses. It is utter insanity, and that's why the American people need to be

vigilant. You have an election coming up. You should take all of this stuff, whether it be big tech censorship, whether it be the extraordinary media bias, whether it be with this NPR thing, whether it be what's happening in college campuses, the inflation thing. Take all that which you're going into the ballot box in November, and remember that this is what your society is doing against you. And unless you make your voices hurt, it will get

only worse. Of Orange Man Bad, Orange Man Bad, don't pay attention to him. Ninety three percent of the coverage of Donald Trump is negative, and it's vicious and it's personal. The only hope we have is to elect the Trumpster in November, have a vice president that could serve eight more years after that, to institutionalize the constitution, institutionalized freedom of religion, freedom of speech. I did not think as a great American in the year twenty twenty

four. I have to be on talk radio. I've been here for forty years talking about freedom of speech on a college campus or freedom of religion on a college campus. I'm thinking what I would think that is so ingrained in the hearts and souls of the American people. I don't have to talk about that because the bastions of freedom of speech and freedom of religion, freedom of assembly have got to be on college campuses. But the opposite has happened.

It's unbelievable. Well, it is unbelievable. It is unbelievable. You know all else said it best, he said, this is the goal of the tyrant, this is the goal of the dystopian fanatics. Will be complete when the language is perfect. That is the goal of the leftus so that everyone starts thinking the same, speaking the same, so that they could be more easily manipulated. But where are our country of diverse thinking people? And that

is what makes America free, that we have differences of opinion. But the left want such silence everybody and is willing to use force to do so. Joseph Vosquez, of course of MRC Media Research Center. My good friend Brent bozell I watched him a few days ago with the great one Mark Levan. It was wonderful and once again, Joseph Ozquez, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. All we can do is talk and speak and let

the American people control their own fate. And it worries me that we'll get the government we deserve, and that worries me. But Joseph, thank you very much for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And Joseph, you're a great America. Thank you, Thank you. Bill. Take care, God bless America. Let's continue with more. And what he's saying is so true. Think about what's happened to this country. And Trump may be the catalyst. The Trumpster will come and go, but the rights being abused by each

American shall remain. Let's continue. Bill Cunningham with you every day, your home of the Red's News Radio seven hundred WLW Kane.

So I believe I was in Paduca, Kentucky at a baseball tournament. What okay? Duke Kentucky baseball tournament with knuckles, which is kind of a precursor to Midland. Yes, we played, and usually after, you know, after a tournament game, everyone kind of hangs around and parentsher and cold beers, and after the game somebody's

like, hey, we all got to get back to the hotel. Oj is in a white Bronco flying down the Highway. There's a helicopter chase and he's threatened to shoot himself. So everyone piling the cars and hart ass back to the hotel we are staying at and we just sat and watched it, like the whole entire night. It was the most Again, I was fourteen years old and I remember it like it was yesterday. Bronco and what I thought. I was here at the station and it's amazing because that was before

social media and before internet and any of that. But it was just the word that got around. It's like, we got to get back to the hotel and watch this. Well, they interrupted the NBA Finals and everything, right, I mean they everybody went to it. There was like what five thousand police cars behind him, and you know, Jews don't do it, Jews don't do it. I'm living at seventy two forty three Camargo Woods and I'm watching the NBA Finals and stay right in drop out of the NBA Finals

for the White Bronco chase with oj He isn't making that call. We got the NBA Final with a lot of people watching this. Wait, we got to go to this. We gotta go OJT right now. The NBC News go ahead. Now, Also you had more information, Rock about Otani's interpreter. Tell the Rock the new information. Get us into the studio. We want to ask him some questions. Well, they the student reporters a pro

service over local Tamestar heating and air conditioning dealers. Tamestar quality you can feel in Southwest Ohio called better choice heating and cool to get five one, three, eight, six, eight, thirty three eighty eight. Tell them about o'tanni now, the former interpreter for Shoey Otani is now accused of stealing over sixteen million dollars from the Dodgers Star for ille Go gambling purposes. According to the FEDS, Now I mean to deal with a bookmaker in California. Everything

is legal, I guess, except sports betting. They have to pay cash. They don't take checks. How do you get sixteen million dollars in cash out of the bank. According to the FBI, that the interpreter would speak in Otani's tones to his private banker, telling him that the interpreters coming down to get some cash. Just give him whatever he wants. And it was the interpreter calling the bank usually make his voice sound like he was a tan.

I mean, could you tell one Japanese dude from another. Absolutely not not. And so then he would show up and get piles of cash to take tags of cash. It's like mags of cash. So you miss sixteen million. I don't know. If you're a baseball player, you know. I know plenty of athletes I've played with a ton of in my life that didn't know anything about their bank accounts. For better or for worse, They

I don't know. They assume they know they got a lot of money, but to keep track of every penny like a lot of people do, absolutely not. Young people know he's in his seventh year. The first three years he made the minimum. Yeah, so, but he had all these other indeators. That is not out of the realm of possibility at all that he didn't keep track of his finances. None of those athletes too. Like I play baseball, That's what I do. I have people that watch after my

money. And he trusted the wrong person. Sick, that's for sure. Did anyone have access to your accounts? Stealing recy cups and the ho hos? But he isn't a guy. He's known for forever and probably spent more time with than any single person on Earth has found out to be stealing money

from him. You know, it reminds me of a story. There's a guy, a guy I knows, a family friend, and his family owned a pizza store in Lawrenceburg for the longest time, and he had this woman that worked for him like thirty something years, and she was like the right hand woman. You know, everyone loved her. She was great, and he retired. They had a big party for and then like after she retired, you know, and the subsequent weeks they're knowing, like, Kyle,

we're making like another fifteen hundred bucks a week. What the hell is going on with this? Oh? Oh yeah, you work there for twenty five thirty years? Is she and the jointerer? She's coming off the top? Huh. I can't say a lot of mozrell. You trust a lot of people and they put on a smiling face and they could be robbing you. I live with one. I'm married to her. Yeah, but wait a minute, that'll that'll get the fight going tonight. That the little rocks will

be the fight. Ever, let me tell you, did they ever hold each other and love each other and kiss on each other and just skive each other the people's elbow, well, they know they do when they sense me or my wife coming around the corner to like yell at them, then they're like, oh, I'm just I'm just taking care of my little brother here.

Then you turn your back and choking them out. So the big, the big area of controversy, Willy is I told you off air is the littlest Rock wants to wear the Middle Rocks baseball jersey is te ball jersey, and the Middle Rock ain't having it, okay, So that is what the fight main thing fight is. Ever, so my wife literally has just put out on Facebook anybody in Harrison, if you happen to have an old tea ball jersey, could you please donate it to us in the hopes that it'll

stop this two from Friday seven neighbors Sydney Abrays gonna help you well. Harrison City Council has a lot of issues right Nowlet toilet bulls and things about the economic director today mid Middletown guys, lots of things, uh, City council suspicious zoning issues and don't we know about that hundreds of more houses are coming in probably and on Tani's case, this guy was with him more than a wife would be with him, because he was with him twenty four to seven,

traveled by him, et cetera. But the guy's got it made. Guys got it. He's with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He makes four hundred thousands of Dodger They don't stay at the Holiday Inn. When they went at any other city they go to, they got air and that probably their own private airplane. He probably lives in a big old house, probably's got his own Lamborghine ahead or something. And you're healing sixteen million bucks because you're betting

degenerate gambler, unbelievable killed the Golden Goose. The FBI says Otani had nothing to do with it. Was ignorant. Facing thirty years of the Junie you got to go for most of them, say give me some more sports rock. Today's serious Finaley with the Brewers and Red's postponed by rain Downtown.

You predicted that yesterday, you said he was staying right there Baylor, and that's exactly what happened. Nobody listens. Nobody listens to me. Well, there's reasons for that. I know that, So I don't know what to tell you.

Your good friend, Chuck Martin Miami RedHawks Chuck Martin agreed to a five year contract extension today through twenty twenty nine. Good back guy. He led Miami to eleven to three record in a MAC championship. Did they beat you? C? In football? He's won two MAC titles since he's been there. I don't know if they did. Did they beat you? I don't think they beat you C last year? Did they? Yeah? Did they?

Okay? Absolutely sorry, don't make another mistake here, seg Man. We got wild Man Walker ready to step up, and then OJ Simpson of course, at the top of the show passing away Today Willie at the age of seventy six, passing away of cancer. Hopefully he suffered for months and died a horrible death. Did he leave a note? Is there a note or a diary? They may have scribbled in as he was taking his last breath before he goes to sit beside Luke Satan for the rest of his existence.

Well, I think he's still looking for the guy. He was trying to find him in golf courses, casinos, brothels couldn't find them, saw him in the in the Bahamas looking for a guy years ago. Do you retaell that story all the time back? I just wanted my personal things and I realized I was stupid of me. That was the Vegas thing when he when he went up to uh the room and busted in one in two thousand and seven. I mean it's still from any flock. Yes, he did in

two thousand and seven hotel robbery. Eddie Fingers, my good partner, Eddie Fingers, doesn't get fired up about about much. He's pretty even keel. But when you mentioned Ojay Simpson in that trial and what do you did to those two people? The dead man goes through the roof. I love it. One little sidelight after the trial, the Yidman and I Kevin Christopher were there along with the wild Man. They had a party that night. The verdict was in the afternoon, like at noon or one o'clock, and OJ

threw a big party. It was three to ten rocking gam. Just came to me, three ten rocking gam. If you've been there, it was like three acres of big hedges in front, had a gate in front, and the lapd which covered for OJ Simpson for years and all the times he beat up his wife, terrorized her, black and blue, broken bones, broken teeth, beat the crap out of her on a regular basis before he decapitated her. Three or four jurors joined OJ to celebrate the verdict in his

home. You're kidding, Oh oh? Is that public knowledge? Yes? And the lapd escored at the jurors to OJ Simpson's house. And I'm looking at this and I'm going this is payback for Rodney King and the verdict that was the centerpiece of the whole entire case at Johnny Cocker. And that's if you watch, if anybody out there listening, go back now and watch the ESPN documentary OJ Simpson. What's it called murderer? No, I forget, I'll find the name it is. Is the best documentary have No Question?

Made in America or something something like some of that effect. That could be OJ right there calling me from justice, Joe calling me from hell. But uh, we'll see what happens. But what's exclusive? What's on the big show today? If anything made? Yeah? OJ made in America? Yeah, six part series, absolutely fascinating. One of the jurors, this African American woman at the end, oh yeah, at least says yeah, I remember that. Yeah. Basically, in so many words, that was retribution

for Rodney King. And we got our justice. That's we got our justice. We we as we and what about our And it's like, how can that person just sit there and say that unbelievable. Well, we have Mike Allen Senior right out of the gate because he was a big law man, prosecutor and such during those times. We're going to share his thoughts on the case and all that on the OJ case back in the ninety four there, Uh, we're a fitness guy PJ. Street at four oh five, and

then we're we got a discussion topic at five o'clock. Well, the other thing that that that game played between the Dodgers and the Reds was the last time the Reds won a postseason series? Was the O. J. Simpson verdict against a decade now that he is dead, is that it's a good sign. And that's a good sign. It's been cursed for a long time since nineteen ninety five. They had a five game series against the Dodgers, the red swept them, then got swept by the Braves. Was the Red

signe who had the goat? Was that the curse of the well? That was chicaggo Icago. In fact, I met in Chicago with Harry Carey. It was the black Goat and all that stuff. Remember Harry Carry. Awesome, course, maybe these come over here, come over here, honey. I can't say that on the air, But if you can pay money, what would you pay to get marg shot and Harry Carey in her room together and just just listen to him talk? I mean how much would you pay?

That would have been Hello again everyone, this is Harry Carry. I'd be absolutely unbelievable. He would drive his limo with Ernie over to Willis and Covington and I'd meet him over there and sit at the end of the bar. Harry carry hello. And he would say things to women that would somewhat

inappropriate. What I've heard curl your hair and I laughed. And but Marge shot she kind of drink in private, she was, But Harry was out in front of him saying, he put a cocktail each of your hands in a smoke, and just just let him talk about life and how they look. Everyone. This is Harry Heart a red light on and let him have it. It'll make him like that, don't you know. It's a freeze

dried world. All right. That's it, and then we'll see what Mike Allen has to say about O. J. Simpson and the pits of Hell right now, assuming he didn't repent. I assume he didn't because he's still looking for the murderer. As of a year ago, you're still looking, haven't found him yet. Can you tell me he left something in a die he's somewhere that said, you know what, I'm dead and gone. Here's what went down. He left Ron Goldman's blood on the pedals of his of

his vehicle. How did that get The jury said that didn't happen, didn't happen. No, that wasn't how it No Furman planted it right, yes, yeah, I understand. Yeah, not Andy Furman, Mark Furman, Mark Furman. I don't want Andy Furman did not plan anything, no segment. Get me out of the stud's report. Police will he and otter of a rainy day here in the Tri State. That's why we're here. We leave you, that's right, We leave you with the immortal words of the

Stewode report. But we think that our ballot issue has a lot better chances than the red bull tent does of actually getting someone out. Our ballot initiative. Who is that, Dave? Was that that's a ballot trying to get somebody out? I don't know. Hunter Green can't get anybody out. Got all the talent in the world, but no result. Him around like it was phoning it underhand. Last I thought he was thought he was Bob Gibson and said he pitches like Debbie Gibson. I thought I had Bob Gibson.

There's one right there there, you got Debbie Gibson. Come on six icon, Debbie Gibson. It's one hundred miles an hour. Guess what can well? His record this year is zero and one. We had you know, we had a good conversation yesterday about baseball and what pitchers in particular need to

do. And you drink more beer, smoke more cigarettes, and work out less and throw the ball more, eat ribs and quit having uh alfalfa sprouts and uh broccoli protein shakes and electure like Joe du Saw smoke cigarettes and drank beer. How was he just dealt delt one hundred four times a week. He's a Donnis good. No relievers back then, hardly. No, here's the ball. We'll see you in the ninth or tenth. Things right, and if you if you don't get him out, you better figure it out

quick, no matter what happened anymore, right, pampered and pampers? Are you out of pampers yet? Oh? We are, absolutely that's good. But if anybody out there within the sound of my boy has a green tea ball jersey with Harrison on the front of it, I will pay for it handsomely. Thank you.
