4-24-25 Bill Cunningham Show

Bill cunning in the Great America. Welcome this great Thursday. Afternnion, the Triestate, possibility of rain later on, we'll check without as events transpire. No Reds baseball today. They won one of three against the Fish. Now they're in Colorado tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunnay and then back home play the Cardinals and many others on four game set. And the Reds have a big decision to make soon about the greatest hitting catcher we have now since Johnny Bench may be

Yeah, the beauty of catcher is you can deploy multiple and so I think Tyler Stevenson is a good hitting catcher, could be the Reds' best hitting catcher since Johnny Bench. Even though you're referring to hose A Travino there, it's a good problem to have. I think both are going to play, but Stevens and you're going to see him out there whether you're ready or not.

Though, let's talk about the Bengals tonight about eight o'clock. I have my Before we talk about the Bengals at eight o'clock, let's talk briefly about the Bengals lease, which is even bigger than that. When I have on the Speaker of the House, have on the governor, have on the head of the of the State Senate, Senator Bill Blessing, and others. There are complete loggerheads on this deal. Give me the James Rapaine, what happens on the lease? Will the Bengals stay long term? Will they go? Are they

That they're going to stay? They're going to stay. I think it's been a big topic for those in the community. I've been asked multiple times, Hey, are they are they moving? Are they going to move? And I was like, well, as long as they can get something close to done by that deadline, I think one of the sides will say, all right, well we're close, let's get it done.

And that's what I think the other day was.

So.

No, I think that they're going to stay.

The Bengals certainly want to stay where they're at Paycourt Stadium. I think the county, deep down it wants them to stay. And so I think that cooler heads will prevail, even though it did get a little contentious during this process, and still probably will.

But no, I don't think it'll be the Chicago Lean Bengals. I think they're going to the Cincinnati Bengals right there on the banks of the Ohio.

Can you tell me why the Bengals and Reds do so poorly in the first part of their seasons, not just the Bengals have had one winning record, as it may first in the past ten years, and the Bengals stink in September.

Why the Reds. I have no idea, right, I really don't. I don't know why they.

Start so slow.

It's such a.

Long season that you can overcome it. With the Bengals, it's been mostly injury, is what I would say, And because they're so Joe Burrow driven that if he's not one early on, they haven't been good enough around him to overcome that and win when they're not playing their.

Best ball in September.

And I think these true contenders they do they find ways to win games even when they're not playing great. And the Bengals haven't been able to do that. And part of that is Joe Burrow, and part of that is their inability.

To close out games.

They should have been at least three and one in September last year. That was my expectation going into the season for them. And then they go out and they lose to New England. They's no business losing to New England. They're drafting fourth tonight. The Patriots are because they're one of the worst teams in the NFL. So yeah, they have to.

Figure it out.

They have to get it fixed to win games even when they're not playing at their best.

James for paint. Let me give you my top five selections. Are you prepared.

I'm prepared. Let's go Tennessee.

Cam Ward at quarterback picking Number two is the Cleveland Browns. I'd say Abdul Carter. Number three is the Giants, cool and Travis Hunter. Number four Patriots. They stink. Mason Graham. I like Graham because that's my mother's maiden named Graham. I'm not sure I'm related to Mason, though, And number five is asked and gent with the trade. Give me your how do you like cam Ward over Shadur Sanders.

I think it makes sense.

I think that Chador is more limited physically than a guy like cam Ward, and if you're taking aquarterback number one, overall, you don't want him to have obvious physical limitations. And that's why Shoudor could fall tonight farther than a lot of people projected.

But I'm not sure he should.

Should the Cleveland Browns pass on a quarterback if the Browns could use a just a stable, competent passer, like I don't know, maybe they should just go to the quarterback rout, But I agree with you. I think they'll pass on on Shaudoor, and Shoudur may fall all the way to Pittsburgh at twenty one, and he may be in the division, and if he is, it's going to be interesting.

So yeah, I think the quarterbacks this year are much harder to predict.

Than past years, and it's because I think these teams are going to feel much differently about each guy and how they fit their team.

How important are the interviews. I'm reading the interviews of Shador Sanders and they're terrible in fact one executive set. I've never seen a player give such a terrible interview than Shador Sanders, who flies around in private jets. Actually, he's a big deal at Colorado, a big deal. How much does the personality of the quarterback play in as opposed to the stats, and Sanders' stats are pretty good.

Personality is huge, and I think Sanders has places as he wants to go, right, I know you've been in this position where you're interviewing for a bunch of different jobs.

Well, if he's going into these.

Interviews, then he knows that I don't want to go to this franchise anyway. Well, then maybe he is a little bit more mugg and off putting, or maybe he just thought he was going to be a top five pick and now he's having doubts about that. So he goes to Pittsburgh a few weeks ago and has a visit with Mike Tomlin and goes that route. But no, those interviews are important, and I think that.

Those whether or not, I'm not sure that they will reveal.

Whether or not he's going to be a successful NFL quarterback, but teams care about them, so it could certainly impact his draft stock and where he's picked tonight or if he's picked tonight.

Well, the quarterback the Steelers not I had a good quarterback. I don't count Man Rudolph since Big Ben and I thought that was fabulous. I want the Steelers to lose. I want the Browns to lose. I want them to be in complete chaos. I don't care much about the Baltimore either. And right, now the Bengals are in a great situation. I was shocked they spend all that money

Yeah, I think they certainly want to address the defense, and there's a handful of guys that they I believe they're considering, and it depends who gets there. Walter Nolan out of Old miss as someone the defensive tackle.

I think is high on their board.

Johan Campbell and Alabama linebacker dealing with the shoulder issue. But if he's healthy and they give him a clean bill of health and the green light from a medical standpoint, is a top player in.

This draft and would be a home run pick at seventeen.

They need to bolster their pass rush, everyone knows that, but I think more than that, they need playmakers on defense. And so if that's that safety, if that's that linebacker, if that's in the defensive line room, whether it's tack or defensive end, they need to be open to that.

And so I think.

Nick even worry is another guy safety out of South Carolina that is going to get consideration tonight. And another guy to pay attention to, Shamar Stewart out of Texas.

A and M.

He's just an athletic freak. Only had four and a half sacks at defensive end, but had thirty nine pressures last season led to Aggie's and pressures, and I think that the Bengals could view him as a perfect running mate for Trey Hendrickson right away and someone who could contribute right away and develop his pass rush game. So yeah, I think there are a lot of defensive players that they're eyeing tonight.

Why have the Bengals drafted so poorly the last three at drafts. I'm not sure there's any player selected the past three drafts that have an impact. Why is that?

Yeah, it's a few years ago. I think they were starting to eye the future and you draft almost to replace and anyone could have told you, like when they took Dack's Hill, Dak Hills and.

Jesse Bates, And that doesn't mean he isn't talented. I think Dak Hill's super talented. They're just different players with different.

Skill sets and that's the danger is when you draft. When you draft guys to replace others but they're not the same skill set, well, then you have to adjust. You have to have the same vision for that player, and I think they've they've lacked that. Whether it's the

Duke Tobin, who's responsible when push comes to shove and the card is given to the commissioner tonight, who who writes that out? Is it? Mike Brown is a Eddy Blackburn, Brown is a Troy is a Duke Tobin who actually makes this the selection?

Yeah, so it's definitely a collaboration. All of those people are in the mix. But I would say that that Duke Tobin is leading the way, leading the charge. That doesn't mean that ownership isn't going to have input. But Duke is certainly someone from a scouting standpoint, he's involved in all of it. But could he be out ruled technically, Yeah, he can be and so I think that the safest way, the best way to put it.

It's a collaboration, and we'll see.

They got to get it right, though, I think we all agree there they have to get it right. Whether it's Duke, Mike, Katie Troy doesn't really matter. I will say this though, I do think Duke from an evaluation standpoint, is kind of leading the scouting department there, and then they have their debates. They go back and forth and iron out their board. Before today, I'm sure their board is it was probably completed yesterday sometime.

I think the front office I'm reading on Sports Illustrated where you James Rapine kind of get your chops that the Bengals have one of the least attendant front offices in all of football. Mike Brown has said before, we don't need that. We have telephone service, we can video, we can we go on YouTube, we can watch. Do you think that the lack of numbers of personnel in the front office hurts drafting for the Bengals.

You can't. It certainly doesn't doesn't help.

Like, I totally understand their approach, and their approach is all right, we want the coaches involved, so we don't have that disconnect that I just mentioned from the front office to the coaching staff, and I understand that.

I also think that it can be valuable to have more.

It's not going to hurt if Bill Cunningham has multiple producers and people that can do different things for him. And so I think if you balance it right, more scouts is certainly beneficial.

The way they view it.

Is what we likely we have because we can all be in lockstep. And I get that to a degree. But I don't think anyone would complain. I don't think the coaches would complain. I'm sure Duke Tobin wouldn't complain if you gave him truth serim if he had another scout or two, no.

Question, because the more information you have, the better things are. And the proof is in the pudding. In the last three years, has there been a draft d by the Bengals the last three years to have a measurable impact on the club? Three years, which might be twenty twenty players drafted? How many can you say are potentially or all pro the last three years?

Yeah, I mean you look at it, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four. I think last year they got it right with a Marius Mims, but he's not at that level yet. I think he will be. Dax hill I mentioned the disconnect. I think that's a big reason why he was ineffective early in his career. Miles Murphy hasn't gotten there yet. And I'm just going over the first rounders. It's a good point. It's a good point, no no doubt about it.

Yeah.

And the year after Joe mar Chase instant impact. And I get it they were picking earlier there, but they need to get back to that where they're finding guys that are in that Pro Bowl conversation earlier in their career.

And I think a Marius Mens could certainly do that this year.

But whoever they pick at seventeen, whoever they pick at forty nine with the first two picks, they need those guys to be in consideration and playing a lot as.

Well, which has not happened the last three or four years. It's not been there. But comparing the Bengals to say, the Browns or the Ravens are the Steelers, how does that line up what those they benchmark against have the Steelers have the Browns have The Ravens the last three years had picks that did have an impact. I mean, let's not compare the Bengals to nothing. Let's compare the Bengals to some of them. So compared to the Ravensers in the Browns, how does that look?

Yeah, the Ravens certainly have. They They've drafted impact and they found ways to kind of revamp their defense. The year that Doxell was drafted, they got Kyle Hamilton earlier than the Bengals. It's not like the Bengals had a shot at Kyle Hamilton.

But he's a big part of their defense. And that's an.

Example, by the way, of what the Bengals could do. If they take a safety tonight and they think Nick even Worry is a guy that can do that and be that kind of guy like Kyle Hamilton has been for the Ravens, well, that should be an instant impact guy.

So I agree.

I think the Ravens outside of offensive line, they've drafted really, really well and they've hit it pretty good on the offensive line at times. And then the Steelers they're just searching for a quarterback. You know, they've really struggled in that area. Outside of that, you look at their defensive front and.

They're a loaded and they're loaded because they draft well and they add guys in the draft that are able to contribute right away. And the Browns same thing.

Their defense has been pretty so they need to figure out a way to draft good skill players. They haven't been able to do that. The Bengals are usually good at that, and so yeah, there all these teams have their their weaknesses in the draft and their strengths and it's uh. The good news is is if you're of the Bengals, it doesn't take a miracle when you have

Now the windows wide open the next two or three years. Let's see what happens. James Rapine, are you ready for the big question?

Let's go a big question.

Trey Hendrickson lining up in September at defensive end yay or nay for your Bengals Trey Hendrickson, who, by the way, is raising money for Deer Park High School, which I like, yes or no?

Yeah, ninety chance he's lining up for the Bengals. I don't think the NFL is going to change what his trade value is. The Bengals have gotten offers on him, they haven't been even remotely close to accepting one of those deals. And so unless someone changes their offer upset by a ton gets desperate, I think the Bengals aren't gonna waiver here. They'll get past this week, not trade tray, and then after that it would be all all eyes on training camp and will they get a long term

And he is a contract this year. Anyway. I know contracts don't mean a damn thing, but he is a contract this year, making what like eighteen million dollars or something. He's under contract this year coming up.

And his cap hit is eighteen million this year, he's making sixteen million in base salary, and that's that is underpaid. I think he would deserve a raise once a raise, and I think the Bengals hope to get him a race, So we'll see if they can get it done.

All right, James Rapene. Of course, Austin Wins is hitting five hundred. He's the maybe the Red's best offensive player, and he's the catcher in Trevino is a great defensive catcher hitting also. And maybe this is a situation where Stevenson comes back, and I hope they don't designate Austin Wins for assignment. They can't send him down. That would be a mistake. We'll see what happens there.

But James Europene, like you did, he's hitting like you did for deer Park. Well, deer Park I had six fifty one year. Of course I knew the scorekeeper. She was a girlfriend of mine. She was keeping score, so that's kind of a different issue. But right now, deer Park baseball got beat by Wyoming the Cowboys twenty four to two, so that that's not a good thing either. It sounds like a baseball scorer for the Reds twenty four to two. We lost last week to the Wyoming Cowboys. That's not good.

So that's that's not good.

All right.

Well, James Viropene. Tonight about ten o'clock, the pick should be in. We'll cover it well. And once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. James Rapine, thank you very much.

Thanks, Bill, appreciate it.

God bless America. Let's continue with more. Trey Henderson. Yes, contract is signed for one year. He's got to play, I think, or give up like eighteen million dollars. I don't think that's going to happen. But the Bengals, hopefully we'll sign him to a three year extension. Let's continue with more on news radio seven hundred WLW Rock. I had the music. Gave another great Thursday afternoon in the

There was an effort by the Bide administration, and now it's in Europe, especially in Britain, that sun dimming airsol sprays will be injected into the atmosphere because a climate change.

I'm thinking, Ah, this can't be true. Something's wrong with this, and I read the story Experiments to dim sunlight that fight global warming will be given the green light by

Well, Bill, thanks for having me so. You know, for years people have actually been trying to do This is not actually new. You got some news last week. I wrote a column the Daily Caller about how the Trump administration is looking into a small South Dakota company that is launching balloons into the stratosphere. The balloons pop and distribute sulfur dioxide particles, which reflect sunback into the sky, and they sell cooling credits to people who want to

So this actually was going on.

Yeah, And of course now the British are getting into it and Bill Gates, you know, he's been dumping millions and millions of dollars. This is all kind of crazy. I mean, first off, I mean the idea, the concept, basically, it can work. I mean we know this from volcanic eruptions.

Hits the Earth.

Now, in the nineteen in the mid twentieth century, we had this problem, especially like around Pittsburgh and industrial areas of acid rain, and you know, acid rain.

It was kind of a serious issue.

It would rain and you know people's it would sting people's skin, you know, under really bad circumstances.

That's not good.

So right, so now these guys want to fire this pollution purposefully back into the sky to block out the sun, which of course we need, you know, to grow plants. So we're going to pollute the atmosphere cause acid rain block out the s so we have less plan. I mean, this is and use taxpayer money to do. It's insane.

See malloy, I'm against pollution? Are you against pollution?

I'm against Well, you have an EPA's.

City, county, state, federal spending billions of dollars every year, and pollution largely has been cleaned up. Looking at it. You can eat fish out of the Ohio River. You can eat fish out of the Mississippi River. I wouldn't do it. You can eat fish out of the Columbia

What happens if we have more volcanic eruptions on top of this stuff?

Well, that's exactly it, though, People don't realize. You know, I grew up in the sixties and seventies, and you know I had never never I mean, I went to I've been to Pompey saw about what mountains Zubus did. But I thought, you know, volcanic eruptions were just sort of a thing of the past.

But of course they're not.

No, and you're absolutely right. You know, one volcanic eruption a serious one, like Mount tambour In eighteen fifteen or Mount Pinatubo nineteen ninety one. Yeah, we can weather that. But if there are two, and that could happen, I mean, what's to say it can't, We're gonna be in serious trouble. And then if we're already up there block with these

What?

You know?

Co two missions are plant food. We need the sunlight for photosynthesis. I mean, these people are truly nuts. Bill Gates is way out over his skis. The Biden administration is way out over their skis. These people are insane. They I'd be locked up.

Of course. One of the experts on this is astrophysicist o'nil deGrasse Tyson. He said at one point about fifteen years ago, quote climate change will make Earth a living hell. I'm not sure it's a living hell right now unless you're in maybe Gaza, or maybe you can. He also said that all Arctic ice will soon melt. Polar bears are dying off. Global warming causes food shortages. Just on that issue. What causes food shortages is that global warming or global cooling.

It's global cooling. And you know, the last time we really saw that was during the Little Ice Age, the period like from thirteen hundred AD to the mid eighteen hundreds. It was cool in Europe and there were famines because there was less sun. Of course they didn't have the technology that we have. But cooling is not good for agriculture. You want warmth, you want co two, you want sunlight. Those things are necessary. We have to feed ourselves.

Well. The other issue is climate change is worsening. The wildfires had some of New Jersey recently, mainly in California. And it's an article of faith if you try to listen or watch the nightly news, climate change creating infernos larger than ever, As it came out of the mouth of Lester Holt that when there's California wildfires, NBC News quote climate change creating infernos larger than ever? Is that true?

No, wildfires have always happened. Remember two years ago there was the air apocalypse on the East Coast because the Canadian wildfires. Well, that had happened during George Washington's time. He had written about it in his diary. And but you know the problem today is that we are intentionally letting our forests go and and public spaces, letting the brush grow. And of course if there's a spark or an arsonist or what have.

You, they're going to go up.

They're going to cause wildfires, and it's you know, gonna be they're gonna be tough to control because we've left all this. We've turned our forests into tinder boxes and it's hard to put that put out. Those fires, they burn hot, they're easy to start, they spread, and yeah, it's it's our fault.

Well, Steve Malloy junk science do come. US Forest Service data shows and they report this, but it's not reported in the media that there were many more forest fires in the nineteen thirties than there is today and the climate climate has gotten a little bit warmer, but it doesn't dry out the trees and calls wildfires. Is that correct?

That's correct.

So in the early twentieth century we started fire suppression and we got wildfires under control. But then in the nineteen eighties, you know, we started banning, logging, we started banning, you know, forest management, and of course all this wood, deadwood has piled up and these things have become tinderboxes.

Nineteen ninety nine The Guardian. Also nineteen ninety nine, Al Gore a secret report warns that major European cities and the coastline of Florida will be sunk beneath the rising seas in twenty five years. So here we are twenty six years later. Are European cities under seawater and as the coastline of Florida was like twelve hundred miles down and across. Are large parts of Florida now uninhabitable because

Yeah, no, I remember in nineteen eighty six, ETA said that by twenty twenty Florida would be two feet underwater. Of course that's not true. As a matter of fact, sea level rise in Miami is actually less than what they estimate for the world generally says none of this has ever happened, but built there is no apocalyptic climate

As far as the cost of this, the price if someone I always say, follow the money whenever there's a question about why does something happen? If you say money, you're going to get it right ninety percent of the time. How much money has Al Gore, who's now worth two hundred million dollars? In other words, they monetize Stacy Abrams gets one point nine billion dollars a year and a half ago to study refrigerators and the state of Georgia.

About, Well, it's a multi trillion dollar industry. They want to turn it into a multi hundred trillion dollar industry. They want the entire global economy, you know, oriented towards various forms of climate idiocy. You know, this is a wees stuff world economic form, one world. The entire global

By the left.

Right, So the left they want to turn off communists, they want to use climate to do it. They want control of everything. But then you have these useful idiots on the on the capitalist side that want to make money from that, and you know, let's hope they get hung First.

State Molloyd junk Science dot Com. The two largest economies in the world as far as population is China and India. Between the two of them, they have about done three three billion people between India and China. Any of these rules apply to.

Them, No, no, no.

And the interesting thing is, you know, in nineteen ninety seven, when the Kyoto Treaty was being negotiated, the Senate voted ninety five to zero to not do anything on climate unless China and India were going to do something. But China and India never did. But you know Joe Biden, who voted in nineteen seven ninety seven voted against doing anything. All of a sudden in twenty twenty two made this Inflation Reduction Act happen, where you know, we're spending more

And of course colleges university. I have a story here received in the last two years in the Bide administration, eight billion dollars the Colleges University is to study global warming. Eight billion dollars went out the door. And you have a column up about the Interior Department must enforce Trump's offshore wind band, which of course they don't want to enforce.

I mean, it's fifty years ago it will save the whales. Now it's killed the whales. The offshore wind is killing whales. They've been permitted to kill whales. They've also been permitted to kill dolphins and porpoises and seals. They have all sorts of other you know, environmental effects. I mean, you know, from each wind turbine there's a cable that's carrying electricity warms through you, surrounding water to one hundred and forty degrees. It's just not conducive to life. I mean, it's like

Well, you know, EV's are great until Tesla and Elon Muskets involved with Trump. Now EV's are bad. And now save the whales was a great idea. I got to save the whales and the dolphins. God bless the whales and dolphins, except if it gets in the way of a mandate for electricity production by these windmills that are killing the whales. So a few years ago with saved the whales. Now it's killed the whales. Few years ago it was buy evs, Now, don't buy evs. A few

No, you are staying in the facts accurately. Look, there's no part of the modern environmental agenda that is part that is about the environment. It's all about politics and control and money.

Uh.

You know, we cleaned up the environment a long time ago, as you pointed out about the fish you can catch in the rivers. You know, in nineteen sixty nine the rivers would catch on fire.

Well, now making fish out of them.

Now you can eat fish out of them because you know there they could be cleaner. But it's you know, we're working on it. We're making progress, and you can eat the fish. The air is clean, The air is cleaner than it way cleaner than it needs to be. But yet you know the environment is getting worse and worse and worse, according to the environmentalists, because they want the money and the power.

Let's spray more aerosols in the atmosphere to reflect the sun and cause a cooling effect, which is going to make sure that we can't grow plants. It's wonderful, all right, Steve, all the stuff's at junk Signs dot com and Steve molloy, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And Steve, you're a great American. Thank you very much.

Thank you appreciate that.

Let's continue with more. I'm reading this Bill Gates lobbies European he will fund the airsol release of calcium carbonates in the atmosphere to reflect the sun. What you will cause maybe a new ice age, which means we're all gonna die. Buy EV, don't buy EV. Save the whales, Kill the whales. I'm somewhat confused, Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WW. With the seventeenth pick in the.

NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals selects.

Hello, Biet, I'm broadcasting.

Hines teg.

Are you ready for the draft of the seventeenth pick tonight about ten pm? Are you prepared?

Yeah, I'll be, will be. I don't know it'll be I'll be asleep. You know from WrestleMania. We have some wrestling royalty here today from Santax State champion.

UH coach introduced. First of all, give us your name and introduce the player. Yep, I'm Aaron Cashman. And then I have State champ, National Champiain Shagar with me today.

Tell me about a kiss, Kim Is that the first end?

Kane Cain Caine, the big Red Machine Canes? Tell me about you a mayor? Are you a mayor in Tenna of a city in Tennessee?

I'm not? Oh machine is here? Kane Kin?

Yeah?

Caane, you're a sophomore junior. I'm a sophomore and what uh what weight class do you go?

I wrestled one thirty eight at State and then I wrestled one forty five at National.

They have to cut a little bit from one eight.

Yeah, that's part of the sport. Cutting comes along with it. And I did have to cut cut a few pounds or so.

Don't go to Ron's roost if you want to cut weight, would you agree?

Yeah, I'll stay away from there. When was the last time you had a big mac? Why came out?

Yeah?

I'll give it some years. Okay, what about French fries like McDonald's fries.

I haven't passed the French fries in like one maybe last weekend.

Oh, get some good carbs in your car.

Cars. Tell me about the big match you told me off there. How many kids are in your weight class state wide? How many a state wide?

So it starts off with sixteen or sixteen sectionals and they narrow it down. Top four go to districts, top four go to state, and then once you get to the state tournament, it's a sixteen man bracket and then you wrestle it out from there. But those are the best sixteen guys from the districts that the sixteen.

So it's the sixteen of the sixteen of the best in the state. Yep, it's like a royal rumble. A sixteen get on the back together left not all at once.

You throw.

Them out, throw them into the crowd. Throw that doesn't work that way, you know.

You know Willie last year he placed third and it's the state tournament for four, winning the freshman title at one hundred and thirty two pounds. Now jump to this season at one thirty eight. He's got the state championship. He dominated for the second national title seven and oh, who's ever mind you?

Of seven deer Park Deer Park seven and oh and basketball fives.

Seven and oh and eleven and oh.

In the first two rounds before securing pins pins, did the guy tap out?

So that was it? No, that's not exactly what a pin is. But what match shoulder blades hit, the matt slaps the matt match over sor I think it's like a like a like a voodoo doll or something. I can see you maybe pulling something out of your out of your pants and cutting cutting somebody. That would be considered like magic, like the Darkly Blind guys.

Right, Okay, so how long you have many matches in the state finals? How many matches do you have? Like six or seven or no?

So uh, because it's so slim down with the bracket from sectionals, districts to state, you only have four matches to win.

For a whole tournament, and then we're easy matches.

I wouldn't say match yeah, I went yeah. I wouldn't say lighter matches. I didn't overlook anyone. They're all the best of their best from their district.

But you're the favorite. Now, Kine, I am the big blue machine. Got one more year ago, two more. You're only a sophomore.

Yep.

What do you want to be when you grow? Professional wrestler?

I wouldn't say a professional wrestler, but I wouldn't say that I have it all slimmed down to exactly what I want to do.

I still my options open. Have you ever heard of Rocky Boyman? I've not segment. Give me some sports, Willie.

We also got to say, Willy, congratulations to Losalle senior holding Huen that right. He won the one hundred and fifty two pound national title in that same tournament in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

What classes do you take it? Saying next? Do you think history or what do you take? I take economics, chemistry. Tell me about Maynard Kines? What's his main major theories about economic development? I rather stick to talking about wrestling. Isn't that guy you watch on TV? Yes, that's him.

The stood reporters of Proud Service over local Tame Star Heating and air conditioning dealers Tamestar quality. You could feel a Northern Kentucky called tom Rickton Heating and air Conditioning at eight five, nine, two, six, one, eighty two, sixty nine.

But coach, how many state champs have you had?

It?

Now?

Never heard of Rocky Boyman either segment. Thank you, yes, sir. Let's continue after this, after one oh five we have on the coroners. Doctor last me some Marco. She called me off there. She wants to do my autopsy. I said, Doc, I think you end it usually the other way around that.

No, she said, she's calling me to she wants to line up to do my autopsy. I said, I'm not dead yet. She said, nonetheless, let's schedule something at my news radio seven hundred.

W l W.

By Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Of course, a few weeks ago this thing came out of shall I say nowhere, And the history of it is apparent to politics, not apparent to coroners like doctor Somarco or doctor Russell Updgrove who is the elected corner of Warren County. But somebody without any fingerprints on it put a couple of sentences in a bill which is like five thousand pages long to make sure that county recorders are not elected by

Thanks for having us on, Willie. As usual, you get right to the point. So we found out about it about five hours before the House voted on it, and when I reached out to several of our state reps for our area, date had no idea it was even in there. So you know, I'm not sure how that gets. Well, I guess I do know how that gets. I'm told this is pretty common practice that when you want something passed, and you know, you added to some big bill and it just sort of slips through, right. I'm not sure

Not one.

And you know what, as a voter, as an American citizen, I resent anybody taking the power away from me to elect my officials, and I mean across the board.

So you know, yeah, it's a doctor Russell upter Grove a Warren County. You're the elected corner there. Why are elected county corners better than being appointed by the county commissioner and Warren County. Why is it better?

Well, I think part of the problem is.

The information and what you had just mentioned previously about worried about the optometrists.

Or dentist or things being appointed as corner. One of the additional.

Heavots in the law that was put in in the o RC as far as in the corner's law in December, is that it is a requirement that a corner be MD or a DO in order to be able to elect a corner. So we're not going to be electing non qualified people.

The situation.

As far as why with corners being elected, I think number one, as you mentioned, I think that people have the ability in their county to elect somebody based on

And doctor somarco I was told that there's a movement of foot over the next five to ten years to take away the right of people to vote for like sheriff, auditor, recorder, clerk of courts who do administrative functions. How do you respond to the argument that this is saving money, it's a better approach to have a qualified person selected by politicians instead of selected by the people. Do you see this as the first of many fights in the years ahead.

Well, I would hope that the voters will defend democracy and the right that they have to elect the officials they have. Now, I mean, we have been doing this in Ohio for two hundred years, and you know, nobody has yet to show me how it's broken. So, like I said the other day at the press conference, this

It's always talking about right, It's always money, right, if.

You're talking about expense. Our salaries are legislated, Okay, they are determined by a high legislation and they're put into place if you're going to appoint somebody. And there are two counties in all that actually do appoint. It's a slightly different government system, right. They have a charter government and they appoint their county corner and the county sheriff.

So on that point, doctor Samarco, if you're appointed by county commissioners in this it might be two out of the three, or would appoint someone they could put the scale. I'm not saying it's happened, but they could put their thumb on the scales and say, we appoint you, you kind of work for us. We don't think this is a suicide. This might be a homicide. What do you think, doc? Are you worried about political winds blowing into the corner's office in Amliny County? That's not there now.

We're all human, and you know there are going to be county corners that are going to feel that pressure to and you know, sort of the influence and the pressure to rule a certain way when you're being asked by your bosses. And I think, you know, to stay in a position or to stay in that job. I think that keeping it objective and keeping it independent will result in justice for the victim and the families and

Right, Doctor Russell upter Grove. Warren County is a great county. It's a smaller county compared to Hamlinin County. However, there's counties in Ohio that has ten to twelve thousand total residents in the completely different situation. So when Matt Huffman talked about maybe a veterinarian or an optometrist becoming a county corner. Who would want to do that for the

Well, I mean in Warren County, we don't perform autopsies there, so the bodies that will acquire an autopsy are sent to either Montgomery County or Hamilton County based upon the geography of the circumstances. What I think a lot of people don't understand is there's a lot more to the corner job than just looking at people who are being autopsied.

And that's the end of it.

And so when this came out about a week or two ago, that I don't Your job is probably important to you, but more importantly, the issue is more important. I'm sure both of you could go into the private sector and make a lot more money than you make as a corner. Well, when this thing eroved, doctor Ruppgrove, when this came out two weeks ago, politically, what did you do with anything to try to stop it? Because you have some powerful people in Warren County. Is this

Well, it came out of the blue, really and without really having much warning that this was going on. So the original question is you know, well, who's behind this and what is the reason that this driving this? And I think it's personally. I think it has something to do more with just making a corner an appointed position

Of money, Doctor Somarco, You could make two, three, four times what you're making. If money is the motivation, you're kind of sacrificing to be the corner. And what they want to do now is after your term is up, I guess in January of twenty nine is to have you go away, which might in a sense financially benefit you because you'll make more money. However, you're not motivated by money and doing this in the first place, correct, Willie?

What I get paid right now? I made more my first year in practice, my first year out of training nineteen ninety five, I made more. That's thirty years ago in my first year in practice than I make now as a corner. So it's not about the money, that's for sure, But you know, it is about public service.

I tell you both you I tell what's going to happen now in the next few weeks. It has to be done by June thirtieth, likely is going to be done around Memorial Day. There's going to be the House passed the bill which includes getting rid of corners. The Senate says they're not going to put that in there. So if they don't put it in there, that means there will be a reconciliation process in which the governor gets involved, and then they go to the Governor's office

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

God bless you. Let's continue with more. Their fight today will be you'll fight tomorrow. And I think the ballot box out of remain open in case we have a bad corner when get rid of that person. Instead of having county commissioners of appointing, I want to be. I want to I want to elect those who govern my affairs. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WW. With the seventeenth pick.
