4-30-24 Bill Cunningham Show

About six oh five. La de la Cruz looks impregnable. Lodolo looks like Randy Johnson. This team's unbeatable, and so all I know will continue tonight and they'll be home this weekend. But until then, it's hard to watch the news anymore. Sureipollo doesn't like it when I say that at all. Very difficult to watch the news because what's happening in Columbia, Ohio State, UCLA, University of Chicago, and including Indiana University Bloomington is almost impossible to

fathom. On top of that, there are are four cops killed cut down in cold blood and Charlotte, there's four more wounded. We have yesterday the sentencing of mckeem Thomas. Right now he's seventeen, but he started his crime spree when he was fourteen, coming out of the eighth grade. It's a brilliant freshman at Hughes High School and in order to audition to get into a

gang and Cincinnati, he had to go kill somebody. He just picked some other black kid to kill and went out and just killed him to shoot him, and then he killed several more along with a bunch of armed robberies. Plus Channel five head on yesterday the car break ins in Blue Ash. The motto is the little tree that grew in blue Ash. They've had known eighty four car break ins and Blue Ash in the last thirty days. Add on

top of that, so much more happening. And I want to get the perspective of Shuri Pollelo of News five and Shuri, first of all, let's deal with McKean Thomas. You had stories on him yesterday. He's in court, he's smirking, he's kind of giggling, he's laughing. No big deal. He's now seventeen. He's going to get out. Sometime in his fortieth year of life, he'll be out of prison. I can imagine what's going

to happen. What is wrong with our society when he auditions, under the leadership of someone named Carl Gottfrey, to join a gang when you're fourteen or fifteen years old, arm robberies, car break ins. We know how a car breaking sounds rather innocuous, but it isn't. It would cost the owner of the car thousands of dollars to get fixed inconvenience. Crazy. And I always think about Benjamin Addison, the UC student who his car was being broken

into and suddenly the guns come out. I would encourage people, if your car is being broken into, stand down because your life is not worth it. Give me your perspective on what happened with mckem thomas at yesterday in front of Judge Garin. You know what, Lily, going back to what you said right off the top, where you know, the news is hard to watch. What I often say to my friends and family who say the same

thing is we don't make it up. This stuff is happening in and around us and sometimes to us, and so our job is just to put the information out there so that you at least can be aware. I mean this situation with this kid mckem Thomas, Lily, he was fourteen years old when all of this started. It started back in twenty twenty one, and it

was a span of about two and a half weeks. And I have to tell you that even people in the newsroom who were not working on this story, when they heard it yesterday, they looked over and said, what this kid was, How old he was doing what? So he was fourteen years old and over that span he murdered four people. So yesterday all that happened was He took a plea deal and pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, but he murdered four people. He also was charged with dozens of felonies, assaults,

robberies. I mean, this is a violent teenager and I always go back and I mentioned this to Kevin Robinson yesterday when we were talking about it during a commercial break, that you know, police officer friends have said to me before, when you know, last year we had such an outbreak of teens committing crimes. And he said, Sari, a thirteen and fourteen year old that you're thinking of that you're calling a little kid. Those are not the

people we're dealing with. These are not little kids. These are hard and criminals for whatever reason, whether it's the way that they've been raised, a lack of you know, being raised and parenting and involvement in their lives. But this is what they know. And this particular guy, that Thomas guy, would literally take screenshots of obituaries and send it to the gang that he was wanting to get in. It was almost like a proof of how bad

of a dude he was. That's the kind of person that you're dealing with, and that's the kind of people that sadly are committing crimes day in and day out on our city streets and around in the suburbs too. You know last year, remember Cincinnati police will tell you overall crime with down last year and is currently year to date down. But we are seeing a record number of teenagers last year who were shot in Cincinnati last year alone, fifty five

teenagers. And we're talking teens between the ages of thirteen seventeen. We're not talking about the eighteen nineteen year olds. We're talking about juveniles. Right, fifty five teenagers were shot in Cincinnati. Of those, six were killed. That more than doubled the number of teenagers who we saw who were involved in shootings from twenty eighteen. Who it is a growing problem. And when you ask why, I wish we all knew why, no no, I say

to people, go aheahead. I had on two days ago to John Lott, who worked in the Trump administration for statistics. He had a great column in the Wall Street Journal. And this is an academic who you hear all the time the crime is down, and he broke down. There's two sources where crime is down, the FBI Crime Statistics and another one put together by the Department of Justice. He made the point that crimes committed our way up,

but crimes reported our way down because individuals don't want to report. You had a story on a few days ago about some poor woman in a wheelchair that was running down people on the streets and assaulting him. And she had been arrested dozens of times. And the poor woman who was run down by this woman and assaulted the cops showed up and said, look, we've arrested

her about fifteen times and nothing happened. So so many times crimes are happening, and Americans don't report crime anymore because nothing happens because cops are told to stand down. There's a lack of police officers. Hell, when I'm driving up and down Madison Road, they have speed bumped all over the place because cops don't pull people over for speeding anymore. It's kind of like in coit thing. And so, yes, reporting of crime is down, but actual

crimes. How about the two to four hundred kids on the banks running around having fights and gunfire and beatings, and the three cop cars show up. There's two to four hundred crimes being committed by individuals. Nothing's happened to them because the police don't arrest because they don't want to be arrested, and the law enforcement in our city is angry about the fact that they don't have enough

cops, they don't have enough support from city hall. And then when they arrest many of these kids, they go to juvenile court and judge Bloom as a social justice attitude, in which case she won't bind cases over. So, yeah, according to the according to media, crime is down, but actually crime is up, but reporting a crime is down, and that's part of the problem. We see hundreds of crimes being committed Schari below and there's no arrest being conducted because crime is down. Well, crimes are up,

but reporting is down right. A lot of times it is a play on numbers, right, So you know the data that you'll see for Cincinnati's website, any one of you can go and google it, you can find it. They're very transparent with those numbers. The data will show that violent crime is down right now, as you suggested, Willie, some of those violent crimes aren't reported or aren't prosecuted for whatever reason because you can't get anybody to

come forward. But the aggravated assaults and when you say aggravated assaults went up, what that means is that's any assault where someone is attacked. Well, that's a lot of what we're talking about right just a few months ago, when you had teenagers jumping innocent people who were just walking down the street. And when I look at the numbers, So I was a crime reporter before I ever started anchoring, So I really am fascinated with crime and I follow

it closely. So I was looking at the crime numbers before we went on. In the last twenty eight days as of yesterday, seven homicides in Cincinnati, seven I mean seven murders, twenty two rapes. Again, what's being reported, fifty robberies, fifty six aggravated assault, the most crimes, the most areas where the crime is happening. Number one, East Priceville, Number two Avondale, But then number third on the list Downtown Cincinnati with two hundred

and seventy seven reports of crime. There's again reports of crime. Then fourth and fourth Clifton, they call it the Cuff neighborhood, Clifton Heights, University Heights, fair of you, where's that? That's all surrounding the University of Cincinnati and then the fifth most crime ridden area as of right now you're to date is Coreyville. Again, so just around the University of Cincinnati, which you and I talk about often, more than five hundred reports of crime.

I mean, honestly, it is. It is frightening. And as somebody who likes to go out downtown and you know, go have dinner, I always say, let's go have dinner. But then let's get back to the suburbs. But then, Willie, you kind of brought it up. Just yesterday, we did a story in Blue Ash. Look, every community has their stuff going on. Yesterday Blue Ash, the chief of police there reached out to us and said, look, we've got a major car break in

problem. Just in the last thirty days, eighty four cars had been broken into in Blue Ash, which you would consider a relatively safe, you know, suburb. Five car excuse me, five guns were stolen from those cars. That's just the Blue Ash area. The chief of police, Chief Nol, telling us, you know, there are hundreds of break ins happening in our surrounding communities, Mason, Deerfield and so on. In the last several

months. We're twenty five to thirty five guns are now missing. I mean, that's really concerning because they have on footage the guys who are breaking into these cars are already armed. They didn't show us the video yesterday, but they saw the video and tell us you could tell these guys were already armed. But then they're stealing more weapons. What do you think is happening with those? They're being either sold on the streets or used in other crimes.

And so if your Chief Scott Nolan blue Ash, of course, if anyone, probably about thirty forty percent of concealed carry permit hold have their gun generally in the car because if you're going into some place and you have a six hour p two thirty eight, or you got a snub nose and you don't want to take the gun with you, where're you gonna leave it? You're

gona leave it in the car. And according to police, they tell me that's a bad decision to make because you shouldn't leave it in the car, But damn it, I don't want to carry a weapon into Saint Gertrude's church. I don't want to do that, And so you leave it in the car. Well, when you and Mike go out maybe at night, you might go to you know, over the on OTR, get some get something to eat, and I'll just make this up. Let's say Mike has a

gun on them. Is he gonna take the gun into the restaurant. Probably not. Your husband's probably gonna leave it in the car. Now, if you leave it in the car, that's a problem because if it's stolen, then you got to notify the police, and then you got to notify your insurance carrier. And if someone steals your gun and then they go and commit a crime or kill somebody, you could be sued by the victim of another

crime for negligently keeping your gun. So if you want to have a weapon, it's hard to keep with you hundred percent is of pain in the neck. On the other hand, if you're leaving your car, Cincinnati's criminalized having your gun in the car. So I ask you, what do you do? Yeah, I wish I had the answer that I Look, I'm not a gun owner. I'm afraid of guns, I admit it. And I you know, when I've done stories and I've shot a gun, it makes

me very uncomfortable. And I think because I've always had little kids in the house, I always feared the chances of them accidentally getting a hold of a gun versus me needing a gun out. You know, it was riskier, but I understand people who want a gun, and especially in this day and age where you know you are afraid that you're going to I mean, look, we've seen it too often where you know, a guy walk walks into a store and you know, for whatever reason, start shooting, whether they're

targeting someone or not, and innocent people are killed. We saw it happen in Walmart a year or so ago locally, right, And it is one of those things that Look, I always say to people, I'm not here to scare anybody, but the reality is, for whatever reason, crime is increasing in and around us. And it used to be that I think even in the suburbs you felt safer, right. I wasn't worried when my kids were going to go off to college. But now, as we've talked about,

I do worry. When you're talking about some of these city schools, you have a lot of violence and a lot of crime around them. And it doesn't happen much at Miami, doesn't happen much at NKU, it doesn't happen much at Mount Saint Joe. It does happen in and around Cincinnati, you see and Xavier Benjamin Addison, twenty one years old, a college kid. If anyone would see their car broken into, and you're twenty one or fifty one, the first thing you want to do is run your car.

You want to see what's going on. He may and he acted naturally. But then the murderer was seventeen years old. I think the other one has not been apprehended yet. And Benjamin Addison, I think the advice maybe Chief Scott and Old could, well, what do you do if you look out the window and you see your car being broken into? Do you run? Do you run there? Let it happened? Had it happen? I mean, I think any police officer or city leader would say the same thing.

I mean, we saw it. And that was such a tragic case that you're talking about. Benjamin Addison, just the you know, a few months ago was a UC student, a business student who happened to be coming back from a night out with friends. They were in a car, came back and saw someone outside of the home they were going to breaking into his car.

A couple of people trying to steal his car and he did what so many of us would do to try to stop the person, not even thinking that they had a gun on him, and they shot and killed this kid. I mean, that is one of those stories that has rocked me. I'll never forget it because I have a UC student, right do I know would do the same thing. So I don't know what the answer is. You know, you said it, Willie. Look, we have a broken

system right now. You have police officers who are frustrated they make these arrest, they see these criminals back out on the street. You know, the next day or days later. You have you know a lot of judges who will bill point the finger and say, well we're not charging them properly, or they can't get you know, witnesses to come forward. It really is

such a cycle of violence. And I sit there and question this case where you've got the one where I said, yesterday, this mckem Thomas, who was Yes, he was fourteen when these crimes started, but he's seventeen now. He murdered four people and he's going to be out in thirty years. And so when you've killed four people at the age by the time you're fourteen fifteen years old and you've gone away for thirty years. I mean, what is he going to do when he's released after spending decades in prison. I

really think he's going to be a contribute to society. And I'll tell you a small example of what's wrong about two weeks ago there there was four teenage girls on a metro bus that saw a female adult and they started picking on her for no obvious reason. And the four of them kicked the crap out of this metro passenger. And by the way, crime on the buses of

Skyrocket and I think it's fifty percent increase. And these four girls, all between fourteen and seventeen, just had some fun kicking them VIDI taping and the course to show their friends. And they went, they were arrested, went to juvenile court and they were released within an hour and a half before the paperwork was done by CPD. The perpetrators were out and the woman is saying, wait a minute, how is this possible? And that's the kind of

justice system we have in Hamlet County today. And the woman in charge, I'll put the I'll pin the tail on the donkey. It's her name is Her name is Judge Carrie Bloom and she's been in juvenile court about four or five years, and she doesn't think the incarceration. She wants to stop the pipeline from school to prison, and so you have to. She has released a rapist, a seventeen year old boy that raped a fourteen year old and gave the seventeen year old a book report to do out. You have these

girls kicking a woman's head like a soccer ball. They're out, and she's very difficult to have somebody bound over to adult court who commit adult crimes because she doesn't want that to happen. What do you say to the twenty year old woman that was victimized on a bus just going to work and these four girls kicked the crap out of her and they're out within ninety minutes. We talked with that victim. I know who you're talking about, Willie, and

that case. You know what, you know why they beat her up because she wasn't getting off the bus fast enough, because she wasn't exiting the bus fast enough. They attacked her and really brutally beat her up. I mean, that was another heartbreaking case. And then twofold you know, the victim was really upset because the bus driver didn't do anything. Well, guess what, I think You've got a lot of these drivers who were afraid, who are like, I'm I didn't see anything. I'm just going to move on.

I'm going to continue with my route, because, as you said, there's so much of this sort of thing going on all the time. They're just trying to do their job and then not become a victim themselves. But you listen, listen. I know you. You know Judge Bloom. We've had her on many, many times, and I think a lot of people out there, we all would agree. We don't want to have a kid who makes a stupid mistake, you know, lock them up, throw away the key, and just say, you know, you screwed up. We're

done with you for the rest of your life. I don't think any reasonable person would say that. But I also think that if you were teenager, if a young person commits a violent, vicious crime, you have to be concerned of their mental state, why they did this, and are they going to do this again? And I think unfortunately we've lost that middle ground, like we have with so many other issues. We either say we release everybody or we lock everybody up. And that's just not the answer. Well,

we've identified a problems, up to those in charge to correct it. I fear that will not take place. But Schuri Poelo, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. I want to touch on Columbia University cheering in the streets by Palestinians after nine to eleven. I want to touch upon other issues. Didn't have the time. Maybe we'll do it again soon, but Suri Poelo, give my best to everyone at Channel five, and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you sure anytime.

I love being with Shari Polillo has her finger on the pulse of the American people because she's an Indiana girl that's born and raised in this community. And so am I. So's many in the news in this business, including many like Trishia Mackey. Of course, she's from here and does a great job.

Channel nine has their prime anchor of courses from here also. And we care. I mean, one of the beauties of this station is that we're local. Every now and then we'll do something on a national basis, but basically we're local and we care about this community from northern Kentucky through up to Dayton. I see in the ratings we're the most popular talk station in Dayton for a reason, because we reflect you and your values and what you like

to see happen. May I say once again, the great majority of those who commit vicious crimes in the Tri State are young black males between the ages of fourteen and thirty. But the great majority of black males between the ages of fourteen and thirty have nothing to do with crime. Zero zilch five hundred to one thousand out of a population of about forty thousand, very small percentage. Let's make a little bit larger point. Islamic terror we're seeing all over

the world. I didn't think it was possible when those planes flew into the World Trade Centers and also the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, that a generation later there would be young Americans cheering Hamas on, cheering on Hesblah and Boca Haram and other terror groups like ISIS and isis KAO. I didn't think it was possible. Every now and then, I said, boy, that's really

surprised and shocking me. At the core of what's happening on the protest, his support for Hamas and the killing of Jews wherever you can find them, and it's going to get more radical, not less. You know at death to Israel, death to America means killed Jews and kill Americans. And in this country the hunting for Islamic terrorists is pretty good because you have large numbers

at college campuses that will not treat this as what it is. It's a terror movement supported by large numbers of college kids who have no idea what the river is and no idea what the sea is. They make it up. They don't know. They want to be involved in something greater than themselves, and they want to miss the exams happening in the middle of May. That's

what's behind this. And when the so called administration, so to speak of Columbia or Ohio State, or Indiana or Chicago or UCLA fails to take remedial action early on, you're going to have complete disasters in Georgia and in Florida. The University of Georgia and Florida and Florida State took action early on and arrested dozens of these protesters because they committed illegal acts, and they throw them in jail and some are still in jail. That doesn't happen in major cities

like in Cincinnati. In Cincinnati, we have a massive crime wave problem which is getting worse. It's not getting better, and summer hasn't arrived yet. I have a text from a cop and what happened in Saint Francis, Seraph and that is there was about one hundred individuals there last night doing what they do. It's an open air drug market in OTR open air. What kind

of drugs do you want? You want? Heroin, whan fentanyl went marijuana, want cocaine and open air drug market, open air prostitution, fornication, defecation and urination happening, and police officers in uniform in their car watch it going on and simply roll away. And what happens is last night there was somebody shot, but there were literally hundreds of felonies being committed last night, hundreds of felonies. So when you hear about the crime rate going down,

the course is going down because cops are't arresting people for wrongful crimes. Be risk. Nobody guess what the crime rate's really going to go down now. Crimes themselves are going up. We all know that it's going up, skyrocketing up, but the arrest are going down. The cops are demoralized. They are not happy. Twenty thirty. Your veterans have their exit dates and they're

leaving. Have a hard time substituting at the bottom the so called privates of the army to take over from the lieutenants, captains and the captains and the colonels because there's so little respect given the cops, as exhibited in Charlotte last night, when eight police officers are gunned down, four or dead in an attempt to serve a warrant on a drug dealer and he opened fire and them unexpectedly and four dead. We're going to have them on a guest later to

talk about that. So the solution is if we have a mayor, have to have peer of all, he's freeze dried. If we have a mayor to get with the police and tell Chief Thiji that we want full, complete enforcement of the law in the city of Cincinnati. This has got to stop. And then you can't change the liberal proclivities of juvenile court. We had

a juvenile court beginning with Benjamin Schwartz through Sylvia CV. Hendon, through John Williams that separated the week from the chaff As Shery Pololo said, there's lots of individuals who need to stay in juvenile court. Tan Yo Rourke has done similar stories as Paula Christian Channel nine. A large number of the great majority of kids in juvenile court needs to stay in juvenile court. Put him up at twenty twenty, get him some programs as if that's going to help.

But there's a small number that needs to go to adult court, and Prosecutor Melissa Powers wants them in adult court and they will not be sent to adult court. I watched ken Coober police officer FOP yesterday. I'm going to get him on Wednesday or Thursday to talk about it. He won. So he wants to Columbus. He wants Sydney Abrams and others to pass laws as other states have that take away the discretion of juvenile court judge to send a kid yes or no, to adult court. That's what ought to be done.

You trust it upon the good judgment many times of the juvenile court judge to make that decision. But now it needs to be taken out of the hands

of juvenile court. And the lawmakers in Columbus, whether Senator Huffman or Speaker Stevens or Mike DeWine or Sydney Abrams or Bill Sitz, have the ability to curtail the jurisdiction of juvenile court in the major cities and say, well, if you commit these category of crimes, it is up to the county prosecutor to reach into juvenile court and grab that case and put it before a grand

jury. Right now, that's not happening to me. If you viciously assault someone on a metro bus because they have not getting off fast enough by your desires. That's called felonious assault or aggravated assault. That's a felony. Those four girls belong in adult court. Now. Once you get to adult court, it's up to the judge in that court common police court to keep them

locked up or to put them on probation. And sadly, we have about fifty percent of the judges in adult court now are adults fifty percent or liberal socialis justice warriors that don't want to have these kids accountable for the misbehavior. It's a big problem in the eight large counties in the state of Ohio eighty eight counties, eight large counties. There's seventy two officeholders in the various city councils of those eight counties, and everyone's a Democrat one hundred percent, and

all the mayors are Democrats. Democrats have a different view about law enforcement than do Republicans. And we have one Republican county prosecutor in a large eight and that's Melissa Powers, and she's the holdover to say, wait a minute, I'll put my thumb and the dyke to keep it from leaking. The next prosecutor, if it's a Democrats not going to do that, and so we

got major, major, major problems. Crimes being committed are way up, but the crime rate's going down because of a lack of arrest and convictions. And what happened, what's happening in Blue Ash. I guarantee you the kids doing those car break ins are from the city of Cincinnati. And business is better in Blue Ash, Montgomery, Green Township, Indian Hill, Montgomery than it is in Evandale and other parts of the city. And it's a ten

minute trip up seventy one through Norwood to come to Blue Ash. Ten minutes and you're in a ripe area with new hunting. Look at a bunch of new cars. You can tell there's certain cars likely to have guns in them, certain other cars not likely to have guns in them. A pickup truck, yes, fancy, real fancy Mercedes and BMW's probably no, you've got a bumper sticker or whatever it might be. And you know what cars to break into. When you have almost one hundred car break ins in the city

Blue Ash in thirty days, this is organized crime. And I guarantee you that if the kids are caught doing this and they're under eighteen years old and go before Judge Bloom and Juvenile Court. They will not be sentenced to anything. They'll be told go and send no more. Don't do that anymore. And they keep doing it and doing it and doing it. So we can do something. We can put it out there. Tanya or Rourke does it, Paula Christian does it at Channel nine, Scheria Polo does it, and

Mike Dartists they do it. They say, this is what's happening in your city, and try to get an interview with the mayor. I have to have pear ofval about what's happening in this town. Good luck. The mayor doesn't want to talk about it. The message is I'm okay, you're okay, let's move on. These are left wing, damned Republicans talking about public safety. And I don't want to see my city go the way of Chicago or New York. Look what's happening there or lost on these Portland, these

other cities. We don't need that, we don't want that. We want Cincinnati to be better and different. Well, it begins with public safety, and without public safety, there is no safety whatsoever. It's bad, it's bad. Going to a Reds game is safe. This week, it will be great reds in town going to see FC. No problem when the Bengals lighted up. Yep, pretty good stuff. But then citizens have to feel as if when they exit these facilities that they're safe. And one piece of

advice. I know it's hard to do this, but I've told those around me. If you see your car being broken into, watch it and do nothing. Do not confront these criminals who are well armed and would shoot you. In a New York second. Benjamin Addison, his name should live in infamy. Just The University of Cincinnati did not put in any messages at all about what occurred. To my knowledge at this point, the UC's not put

out a message at all about Benjamin Addison. But a UC student who works in the library does everything right and it's gunned down because he saw a couple of scoundrels, criminals, thugs breaking into his vehicle and decided to go out to confront them. Do not confront those who are breaking into your car. Dial nine to one one. Good luck getting a cop to come, because

you can replace the windows, but you can't replace your life. Do not confront those arm robbers stealing your car or breaking in your car to look for something. Don't do it. It's a bad decision. I got a texture from some friends of mine. Are you liable if your gun is stolen? The answer might be yes. The city of Cincinnati passed the law that requires those who have a gun stolen from them notify Cincinnati police. Comply with the

law. As I said to Shari, if you're a concealed carry permit holder with a card to without, you can carry without now in the state of Ohio, although I had the card, which might give me more protection down the road, asked me off the air, if someone steals the gun from my car, could I be civilly responsible? The answer is could I?

Yes, you could be if you do not properly store the weapon. Now, if one has the gun in the car and someone armed Robert takes it from you, no, But if you store the gun in the car and you leave the car unattended, as many do, and the gun is in the car, some civil attorney could sue you for improperly storing a gun in a car prohibited by statues in the city of Cincinnati, which is kind of

like victimizing the victim all over again. That's where we are in this society, protect yourself because often the police will not do it, or can't do it, or refuse to do it. It's kind of sad you have these speeders. Cops aren't pulling people over anymore. You had the speed bumps up and down Madison Road for example, because cops aren't pulling people over. And the reason they're not pulling people over is the Scottie Johnson's on City Council have

told Chief Fiji quit pulling over black males because things might go awry. So cops are looking at this thing. He's speeding, he's doing wheelies up and down Vine Street. That person has a bad tail light. They're not pulling people over because the city doesn't want that to occur. That's where we are. Well, let's continue with more. Whenever stop, we simply continue. After one o'clock today, in about fifteen minutes, doctor Jean Kritzky will be

here from Mount Saint Joe. He has spent his life studying insects, specifically cicadas. Some thirty four years ago I had on doctor Jean Kritsky there was a brood emerging thirty four years ago. At that point I said to him, let's get back together in seventeen years So seventeen years later and seventeen years ago I called doctor Jean Kritzki a Mount Saint Joe and we talked about the emergence of cicadas and they're coming again. Here we are seventeen years later in

twenty twenty four, and I talked to him off the air briefly. He said, absolutely, I'll come on to talk about cicadas. What are they? Are they helpful? What are their mating habits? When will they emerge? How long is the life cycle of a cicada? Why do they make so much noise? And are they good to bed for the environment. I had read somewhere that doctor Jean Kritzky had located on the Isle of Malta a cicada embedded in a rock that was five million years old. Human beings emerged

about one hundred thousand years ago. Cicadas have been here for five million years, and they're going to be here long after human beings are gone. Cicadas were here before we got here, and they'll be here after we leave. But doctor Jean Kritzki is the world renowned expert on cicadas. He and I have made a promise off the air that in seventeen years what in twenty forty one he and I get back together on the air to talk about merchants of

another brood of cicadas. All you need to know about Cicada's coming up next trowelve fifty five Homi your reds who look unbeatable, They're impregnable, and they kick it off tonight about six oh five. First pitch tonight will be approximately

I can recall about thirty four years ago I had on a relatively young college professor from Mount Saint Joe, doctor Jen Kritzky. But by this point is authored, are added a ten books and over two hundred and sixty papers on subjects involving entomology, egyptology, evolution, the history of

science, dinosaur biology, insect poetry and insect mythology and more. Joining you and I now is doctor Cicada. The man's forgotten more about cicadas, and all of us know Doctor jen Kritsky more or less retired from Mount Saint Joe. And doctor Jen Kritsky, can you recall about thirty four years ago I said to you, let's get together. In seventeen years and seventeen years ago I said let's get together in seventeen years now I'm saying to you again,

can we get together again in seventeen years. I certainly think we can. I'm certainly counting on it. Well, me too. Let's talk about the cicadas. Tell us what is a cicada, where does it come from,

and what it's its history. Well, periodical scadoes are fucking insects that occur only here in the eastern United States, and they come out in incredibly large numbers once every seventeen or another is thirteen years on a regular interval that we could that we can predict like the coopses of the sun, and try to understand their distribution, diversity, an evolution of the broods. Do you have

any reason as to why it only happens in the eastern US. Well, the pirical skaters are endemic to the eastern deciduous forests, and so they have cicadas out west, but they're annual cicadas. They come out every year and in small numbers. But these periodical skaters right now, it looks like they

evolved. The evolution started just as the ice sheets were moving south before the last ice Age, and that selected for a longer life cycle, and then as they retreated, that led to the synchronicity of the individual species and the evolution of the broods. Now you have other interests, But why have you decided to become an expert in cicadas? Because I think it happens every thirteen every seventeen years, get a lot of time in between. Why does doctor

jen CHRISTI, why did you focus on cicadas? Well, I had two professors and called one undergraduate of Frank Young, who is this Indiana's special for paritical skaters, and Loose Santard, who's the specialist free Illinois empiritical skaters.

They were my members for undergraduate and graduate school. But the answer to your question is, I'm a frustrated historian, and when I first heard about these bugs, I figured there's got to be patterns in history, and so I used the same tools that historians use and journalists use in evaluating sources, primary sources, secondary sources together as much historical information about the cicadas as possible, And when I finished my PhD, I had over seven thousand historic records.

Well, now, cicadas are they harmful? Tony Bender is concerned. Last time they were here many years ago, they got into his underneath his shirt when he's cutting the grass. They got into his hair. He's streaming and shouting running around. Cicadas are eating me. Cicadas are eating me, or they want to mate with Tony Bender. Do the cicadas eat anything or do

they mate with humans? Well, Tony person all doesn't need to worry about it this year because and this year is a wonderful interesting year because two broods are coming out simultaneously. But they're going to miss Ohio. Oh, so he's safe for a year. But next year, Brood fourteen is going to come out in Cincinnati, especially on the east side of town. So he's got a year of respite. But for other areas, for sixteen other states, they're going to be seeing these things. But no, they don't cause

any disease. They don't fight, they don't sting, they do not mate with us, and they will not carry away Your children are small pets. One might ask, why what is their purpose and function? If they get together only every thirteen or seventeen years and their underground waiting, what's their purpose? Well, the purpose of all life is to reproduce. But what they

do when they do come out is very beneficial to the forest. When they come out of those holes in the ground, that's like a natural aeration. It allows more water to get down to the trees. During the hot summer months when they are flying around, they're being eaten by all sources of predators, and that provides the predator's population to survive better. This year, female laser eggs. That sometimes causes the branches to break, and that's like a

natural pruting. So the flour set next year is going to be increased. And when they die and collect around the base of the trees, they rot, they smell, but all their nutrients form a nutrient cash surrounded the tree that they died around, and so that's quite beneficial for the eastern deciduous force. How does the cicada know it is time to come up? It doesn't have a clock. How he's underground? How many inches your feet is he

underground? Well, as soon as the eggs hatch, they immediately go under the ministrop of the ground and go underground. They'll free on grassroots three four inches or so for the first few weeks, and then by the first of the year after the eggs hatch, they'll be between eight and ten inches of

bowl of the ground and they'll stay there probably for about eight years. They'll move up three four inches closer than the surface, and they remain between all five to eight inches below the ground for the next until they're seventeen or thirteen years to pass. And they count the years by being able to detach the fluid flow in the spring, when water and minerals are moving up from the xylum tissues up to the branches, and the trees are leafing out, the

flowers are being produced. But still what we don't know is how do they remember what year it is? That's still a mystery of science. Well, so take me through the life span of a cicada. Let's say this cicada has been underground now for about seventeen years, and he or she I guess there's two two genders. There's not one hundred and five genders? Are there? Like two genders? A male cicada and a female? And how do they tell me the lifespan of a cicada as they begin to emerge? Tell

me what their life is like when they come up? What happens? Okay, well, when they come up there, the ones that are here in Cincinnati, when they emerge in the ground, they were already seventeen years old when they start coming up. But when they emerge, they emerged as a brown nymph which they use which they crawl to the ground. It calls at the side of a tree, and they locked their little tarsal clawst tree. Then the adult cicada emerges from that immature inful skin and then it's all it's

all white. They expand their wings. They eventually crawl out of the completely out of that nimphul skin. The wings expand and they turn black, and then they walk up to the top of the tree for the next four or five days before they start singing. And that's when they start flying and what have you. And the singing courses to attract a mate. The male sing

the females respond by flicking their wings. After mating, the female will lay her eggs and the terminal ends of tree branches, and then both the male and the females die six to ten weeks. Six to ten weeks after the eggs of the lad they hatch, and these cute little three milimere white cicada nymphs drop to the soil and within one they at the soil. And I've done this though, I've actually collected the young and watched them get underground.

They get underground within a minute most people within thirty seconds because they're extremely susceptible. Are are vulnerable to beetles, spiders, and ants, and so that then they're out of sight and as far as we're concerning, they're out of mind. But they're feeding on grass and eventually start sucking on tree roots for the next seventeen or thirteen years. So from start to finish, as far as from the time the male or the female emerges, it's about two to

three weeks and they're dead and their offspring is underground. Is that it. Now, that's a little longer than that. It takes two full weeks for all the cicades to get out of the ground, and the typical adult cicada, if they're not eaten by predator, will last about a month. And so that's from start for the emergency. The last ones about six weeks, and that's the entire adult that you'll see adults around, and the rest is

going to be underground the whole time. Do only males sing making that noise? Only males do that? Yes, so leave the male. They have a structure called the timble, which is used to make the sound. The females don't have a sound producing structure. The male is singing. She can tell the male she's interested by flicking her wings at the right moment during his mating call. So the male's singing maybe Garth Brooks tune. Have you ever

recorded the male singing? Are there different songs being sung by different males or is it the same song like friends in Low Places or something like that. It's the same song, but there are three variations of it. There's one that's uh and you can actually uh sort of thing about how the translated in English. The first mating call, which sounds like the word at the very at the very drop off at the end, that's where the female flicks her

wings, and the English equivalent be can I buy you a drink? Then then as he gets closer, he'll start singing another song, and that song is basically what's your sign? And then when mating commences, it's the equivalent of saying my place of yours sounds like ooh, I love to love you baby. You get to that point away you go. Does the female mate with one male or a whole bunch of males? The she usually mates with.

She can mate more than once but usually the only ones. Males, on the other hand, by eighty five percent of the males will make only once uh, ten percent of eight twice, five percent of mat three times. Kind of like women in general, I mean eighty five percent have one, ten percent of two and five percent of multiples. Kind of like the way life is. Uh. As far as the when the mating takes place, do they make kind of like animals mate something like that or is it

something something different? It's fuir, It's well, they are animals, and they do have the same that they make the way animals do with if you're talking about positioning. In some cases they're end to end or some as they are look like the letter B as they there as they're genentelia are locked in

place and they're just transit. The males is transferring the sperm to the femo, which she has a structure insider everyone called the sperm afica, which actually nourishes and feeds the sperm so that when she starts laying her five hundred some on eggs, every one of them is fertilized, all right, and then they've done their duty and away you go. And as far as right now, we're here Tuesday afternoon. At what point will any of these broods emerge

over the next year or less? What can we look forward to? Well, I wouldn't say we right now. They're emerging right now in the southern US. Brood nineteen is actually merging in Georgia and Alabama, parts of Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina. And they just started like two days ago in southern Missouri. Here in Cincinnati, in southwest Ohio, we have we're surrounded by sall these states of cicadas. But we'll get Brood fourteen next year,

so that'll start probably in early May of twenty twenty five. Since you're an Egyptologist, doctor gen Kritsky, How were the Pyramids built? I had oh Way harass On about ten years ago. He has his theories. How were the pyramids built? We know who built him. I saw the movie The Ten Commandments Moses. But how were the pyramids built? Were their long ramps a half a mile away that came up? Is there a corner that they turned? Was it extra ets? How were the pyramids built in Egypt?

Well, mostly of this now suggests that they were built with ramps. They were built by the Egyptians, they were not built by et and extraterrestrials. And we know that the Great Pyramid for except there's a date on it that about twenty years constructed. Is it the most amazing thing conceivable that some I don't know, four thousand years ago individuals living then could build something that large and so well that survived that long. It's almost extraterrestrial. When doctor

Jen Kritzky, you have more answers than I have questions. But seventeen years from now will be twenty forty one. Now I've had you on every seventeen years or so over these last many decades. Will you promise in twenty forty one to come on with me to do another show on the next Brute to Cicadas that I'll be in my late eighties, and if I'm kicking, I'll be here. You'll be here. Now, are you going to pass on your knowledge to some other student at Mount Saint Joe because someone gave you the

baton Mike thirty forty years ago? Who are you passing the baton to in Mount Saint Joe? Now? Well, I've got I've got several students that are PhDs in entomology. I've have a nine of them now and they are doing intoological research on They've helped the tescado work. They're working at other insects

as well. But what I'm also doing is the creation of an online archive all the half including the half a million photographs I got in twenty twenty one when Brewed ten emerged, as well as all my research notes and the notes of my advisors and the other specials. So we're hoping that they'll passes on knowledge just to buy students, but other inquiring minds. Well, cicadas out live human beings. I think they will because how long have they been around?

You said about fifteen thousand years, because the glacier came down from Ohio and looking up from the High River about a mile straight up of ice, and that's been about fifteen thousand years. Is that when their lifespan began? Well, it turned out the genetic information tells us that the first magic cicada, the ancestors to the periodical cicadas, lived about four million years ago.

Oh and the last and during that time is when the large and the small species split and then they that was about three point ninety five million years ago, and then we had the subsequent splits of the larger and the two species and the smaller and eventually two species. And then the last twenty thousand years or so. What's what we're talking about. That's when the broods evolved and beings. Yeah, the human beings that not emerged about five hundred you know,

about five hundred thousand years ago. So cicadas were here before humans and they'll be here after we're gone. Well, yeah, no, the magisticated definitely was. But I had the good fortune of the colleague of mine at Oregon State University to describe a fossil cicada nymph that was one hundred and ten million years old. Let me, during the time of the dinosaurs, a cicada nymph located in Oregon. Well, doctor Jane, it was not in Orgon. It was in Burma, Burma. But my colleague was in Oregon.

Cicada nymph was located in Burma. Well, I'll tell you what. You have more information than any you're the expert on this, and let's do it again next time they emerge. Let's do it again. Maybe you and I can kick it again in twenty forty one. Sounds like a plan. I appreciate it. Doctor Jean Kritsky at Mount Saint Joe. God bless you and God bless America. Doctor Jean, thank you very much, You're welcome.

Good talking to you. Let let's continue with more and I think maybe in a year or two or seventeen years from now, doctor Jean Kritskie and I will be together once again, either in this world or the next. All on News Radio seven hundred WLW. What Scott's flowing here with a quick reminder for you, if you missed part of my show, you can still

listen to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app and hear what you missed. Heaven only knows why you'd missed part of my show, and I suppose there's legit reasons like sell to a coma, or you had to run at the store for emergency grapes, you know whatever. Just be sure to hit up my podcast and let me know your care. At the Original Mattress Factory, we know that if you provide a great product at a great price, people, we haven't any chance you. Naturally, things happen like at the Columbia University

and at the other mother colleges. No, and really it's when I went to school. I went to school at the University of Southern California. Let me explain something to you. When I went there, I went there when there was a fella in control of the college. I mean, I mean he was the boss man there. If anybody had walked into his office and torn down a picture and did excrement into his known as waste paper baskets, or had written lewd words on his the pictures of his family, we as

members of the college would have kicked the hell out of this organization. I can't understand how it can happen in the United States of America, that this can happen and there aren't enough guys of your ace. You go up, you can't stand to have this happen. Oh, hello, quiet and Ills, I'm broadcasting. That's a drunken John Wayne laying down the law right there bingo Colombia. I'm saying, you get the Duke, get him, Clint Eastwood, him to make my day. Go ahead, Sylvester Stallone, don't

forget Denzel Washington, Denzel Washington and who else? Oh, I get maybe the second Airborne. Yeah, go to Colombia and they say, boys, you got you got At two o two, we're cleaning house, kicking ass and take a name. Bingo. They got to sign out on that building? Will he with the protesters out there, the clowns that are out there and inside the building. Now they got to sign us, says de militarized education. I mean, I don't know, they don't know. Maybe Rocky

Nose, they'll tell us at two thirty we're in trouble. What does that mean? Demilitarized education. I don't want cops or anyone around the college campus, which is a safe zone for those who snowflakes who might be offended. Well, I guarantee you one thing, if I'm the Columbia University president won he's not going to have a job for long after this. And two I

would get every one of those people's names. I'd expel them. And before that, they owe us about twenty million dollars for tearing the you know what out of their building. And I tell you what happened on May fourth and then May fifth, nineteen seventy camp state, of course. You see campus at that point was rioting. Do you see kids took over the administration building, knocked out windows, uh oh, and also set fires on the UC campus. All right, Tony Pike was probably involved in this. That was

about fifty four years ago. You might remember that what was going on in Victory Parkway were you, uh May you were protecting things May fifth, sixth, and seventh. Father O'Connor walked around with pink slips called expulsion slips. Right, is that anyone that acts up here at Xavier. I'm putting your name on this slip, get out, get the hell off campus. No buildings burned, no buildings taken over at Xavier. It only happened at U. See, I'll get gone, take it easy, thank you, Jacob.

So, all I can say is that you surround that building and you identify, come on out, take off your masks. Right, who are you? Yeah, here's here's the slip. You are expelled, yep, and we're gonna We're gonna everyone else sue you for expenses. Goodness knows what they're doing in those buildings. But the female leftist who runs NYU and Columbia Guard they want to demilitarize education. What is it? I don't know what that means. Somebody smarter than me, obviously, what does that mean?

It means, you know, don't bring cops on campus? And how about CNN. The only issue in the world right now is Trump right, and whether he got fined nine thousand dollars for contempt of court. And that's all he'd been talking about. Fifth day of testimony from Karen McDougall, who's the playmate Bunny Not allegedly she thought she was in love with the Donald right going back about fifteen years. Yeah, and she thought he was going to leave

his wife Malania up for her. And when that didn't materialize, she had to pay her one hundred and sixty thousand dollars to go away. She was naked all the time. I guess you got to do something well normally in that prostitution. Will he the student report us of Proud Service every local Tame Star Heating at air conditioning dealers Tame Star Field and Beautiful Milford, the Homo one main gallery right down the street called Baker Heating at five one three eight,

three to one fifty one twenty four smart. Also, Willie want to thank Lear's Prime Market Full Catering Service Deluxe Delhi for our lunch today, located in beautiful downtown Milford. Learsprime dot Com. Lear's Prime always a cut above. Also Penn station segment. Don't forget Penn station. Also, Willy, I see nic Lodolo. Two relievers combined on a four hitter, unbelievable. La de la Cruz blasted a long home run that scattered the Padres bullpen in

the first inning. Red's over the Pods five to two. The Reds are sixteen and thirteen, their first winning April since twenty thirteen. This is the best pitching staff since twenty thirteen. When Lodolo's on the mound, or Asscraft is on even Green had a good game. Correct, they're on the mound. I'm thinking, you know what have it? I think the Reds are going to win. Your man. Lodolo is now three and zero. Oh, he was dealing last night. Struck out eleven over seven innings. There

strike three, that is twelve, strikes out twelve or eleven. It's eleven eleven strikeouts four Thank you, calboy. As he finishes, I sung Kim to end the seventh. How about this? You know the Xavier girls were here. The women were here from the tennis right, They've now been picked to go to the NCAA tournament. Correct, Xavier's going to play Notre Dame in the first round. I don't think that versus the rock. There you go. Wait a minute, now, wait a minute. And then and

the lodolo retired the last eighteen batters he faced. Fernando tnt Cruise and Alexis Diz finished things off. Red's pitching retired twenty three in a row from the second inning to the ninth. Led La Cruz hit won a four hundred and forty three foot shot into the Padres bullpen. And this ball is scalded center the field, well hit and deep zo Car's back. He looks up. It is golf. Elie de la Cruz sends one out of here to left center field, a solo shot for his eighth home run of the year.

Is nineteenth run batted in and the Reds taken early one nothing lead. He scattered the Padres bullpen. That was that ball would hit so hard. Then the ninth inning it was an air and throw. I saw that. But with all the you know, the v low and all this stuff that they got. Now de la Cruz threw a ball across the infield at the ninth inning at one hundred and seven miles an hour. What yeah, I put

him on the mountain. His throws. That throw was one hundred and seven while the throw he made from where he was at the first base at one hundred and seven miles an hour. Now they're figuring that out. Well, isn't the I don't know the fastest pitch ever thrownre than three? Right? I mean one hundred and four by the missile. Yeah, why I'll put Della Cruz on the mound. Have you thought about that? Yeah, I'm gonna talk to David Bell about that. If he can only throw a ball

one hundred and seven miles an hour, got a pitch? Nick Martinez goes against his old team tonight against you Darvish Sports talking six oh five and the RNL carriers inside pitch at eight forty. Now, remember lefty Brandon Williamson no outsince spring with that shoulder injury. Don't tell me set to start a rehab first ow in Arizona and then join Triple A Louisville. But what setback? Yes, Red's reliever Ian Jibbou don't just restarted a rehab assignment after getting a

quarter zone shot. Right has been shut down again with right forearm soreness and more exams ahead. So here, I just googled it. The fastest confirmed pitch for the mound is one hundred and five point five miles an hour. Oh, I guess if Martinez doesn't get the job done, Ali de la Cruz how to move into the starting rotation. I guess Moratus Chapman holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest pitch ever thrown the missile one oh five point

five on September twenty fourth, twenty ten. Sounds like a yeah. Well, so you're saying Dela Cruz throws it harder from the missile from where he was on at I guess shortstop wherever he was. It was an air and throw, but it made it the first base in one hundred and seven miles an hour. A guy named Joel Zumayah from the Tigers threw a pitch one oh four point eight. The fastest thrown by Nolan Ryan was one hundred point

nine. So you're telling him Dela Cruz could pitch. ESPN says there's deep discussions ongoing right now regarding a settlement, what to give NCAA athletes revenue sharing, what and their nil antitrust suit. He's going back and with a rock get some money from Notre Dame. I don't know. And then FC Cincinnati has has signed has acquired Venezuelan forward Kevin Kelse, nineteen years old with the Orange and Blue. You're land to Pat Kelsey. He is on loan from

the Ukrainian Premier League. He's got plenty of free time. He wants out of the military. Well, so that's a new player for the Orange and Blue. How do you loan somebody? What does that mean? I don't know how the soccer thing works. Well, so I don't know. I mean they got a they got He's here for the twenty twenty fourth season with an option to buy him. What about Ronaldo? Can we get him on loan from somebody? I don't. I don't think you can get They don't

have enough money there. Let's see, Oh, horse racing of course a Saturday, he's the run for the Roses and Sino has been scratched from the Kentucky Derby. No reason given. I gotta call Mike Pataglia, don't I would say? So? Yeah? So who's the favorite? Now? Do we know? The favorite's always been fierceness coming out of the seventeenth post. That's a bad hole, right, Well, he likes the outside. He's feels like going to take the outside and go straight and go to the He's

going to go to the lead. Who's his jock, John Velasquez, all right? And then endlessly is the Jeff Ruby Steaks winner. The second the second horse into Jeff Ruby Steaks is also into Derby so, and then the the Bataglia Steaks winner is also in the Derby So. Mike Local everything pretty much, uh representation and Scott reinhard Pataglia correct a lot of Patagulias, that's correct. I got to get them called in here. But this is the

best record. I got something with Jay Ratliffe who said if the Reds win two more games, which they got to win the ninth, they have the best record ever. That's not a puff for April. Yeah, I thought they won twenty games in April a few years ago. It's been a while, but I think they won twenty. I think they won. They went twenty and ten in a month of April a few years ago and didn't the nineteen ninety win the first ten games, then played fifty to fifty. Oh,

then this a lot better than three and twenty two. Just to remember that, Yes, I do three and twenty two and they're still a game out of first place. You could have pitched for that team. You still have me shucked a Dela Cruz threw a ball in the infield one hundred and seven miles an hour. Now they've they got stats for everything. Well, they got stats for the speed of the ball coming off the bat. Much like a golfer hitting a golf ball at five thousand miles an hour. That

came up off the bat at one hundred and four. It went five hundred and twenty six feet at the UH. It had a ratio of this and that and everything else. I don't I don't know. We got to call Joe lock up. And I listened last night to Brandley. That ball ended up in the in the stands right what from Della la Cruz. No, that ended up in the Padres bullpen, which is past the stands in left center field and scattered scattered through. I don't know. I didn't see it.

I listened to it last night. I was listening a little after midnight. Well good for you, and I was sleeping. It was to end the game. I guess what he put it in the stands. Oh then somebody ought to get the ball and give it to him. One hundred and seven miles an hour probably went through the It probably went through uh what's his name's glove also cees. They're looking into him as an MRI and an old fracture he hit. He got hit in the hand the other day and it

might have you know. And then Tyler Stevenson didn't play again last night. They need some players back. That's your bow character. They paid lots of money for him. He can't get on the mound. No, but Lodolo, you mean we're talking about the person maybe is feeling real good. That guy is dealing. He's three and oh, but they won the four games. He started well in the month of April, and I think his first

game out he struck out ten. I can't I can't remember what he did to the second outing and this was a third or fourth and he fanned eleven last night like it was nothing. Say. Coming up next to we have Michael Letz, who's a cop law enforcement professional in North Carolina talking about the murder of those four police officers yesterday Charlotte boy and four more shot and terrible.

It's all I mean, I can't think of and one of those cops as a three year old little boy, and the pictures of the little boy and his dad's cap, and it's just disgusting. Right, more updates on that segment. Give me out of the student's report. Please give me out? Will he can? Somebody tell me what demilitarized education means? We leave you with the immortal words of the student report. Close this place down? Close it down? Now? Who's that? Wow? Sound like Charlie Winburn?

Is he at Columbia University? When are we closing down? Charlie? Wow? What was his crime is? I do want to know surround the building? You know what those students are going to get Big Ben Crump to represent him. You wait and see what was there? If any of them are roughed up, well, of course they've taken over a building at a major college. But that doesn't mean is that breaking an entery crime? Yeah?

I mean you're the lawyer, what do you think? Yes, it's a felony, of course, police or walk in one door and walk out the other? That ever happened? And k you and a little segment with a scarf on No ever break into the administration building. No, I didn't even know where it was. Probably didn't send class, did you? Yeah? You did? Yeah? Did you learn anything? Yeah? What's the square root of anything? Here? For forty five years? What do you

think I learned? That's why you're here. You don't learn anything? Thank you? What's the scare root of thirty six? That used to be Elliott Sadler's number. I think on the M and M's car, we're gonna get the Afro Man in here. The afro Man's hilarious. If I have a contact to the afro Man, and if I get the Afro Man, he's gonna come in here then and sing sing yes about Hunter Biden, who's now suing Fox News claiming they have famed his character. Give me a break,

afro man. If he's defamed his character, right, he doesn't have character. But nonetheless, if Afroman comes in, I'm not sure we can play that live. May have to record that ahead. I was gonna say, you might might want to do the hoarded ahead of me a cool version of it hot out the affromn you say it we play a Wednesday or Tuesday? I mean the Adams County shear kick down my door. Then I heard the glass spray like Columbia. They found no kidnapping victims, just some living pound.

Okay, mama's living pound. Okay. Pretty good, so nice, so nice. It made the sheriff want to put down his gun and cut him as yeah, okay, he wanted to put down his flow limit pund Okay, only in America will he limen? Okay.

Play website for details and important safety things. You're wrong is the general lack of respect for law enforcement, whether it's Plumber University, U s LA, or Indiana or Ohio State. But yesterday, in a shocking incident, there were eight police officers shot in an incident in Charlotte, North care Line. Of the eight who were

shot, four have met their maker. The suspect who fired at officers also fatally shot on the lawn of the house, while two others inside the home were later taken in for questioning. In the aftermath, Condolen says, of course they're coming for the officers involved in one of the deadliest recent attacks on

law enforcement. And quickly this will be forgotten. Because this happened Monday, about one thirty pm, a US Marshall's Task Force arrived at a home in Charlotte to serve active warrants against thirty nine year old Terry Clark Hughes Junior, woned for a series of crimes. One can only imagine US marshall Service Fugitive Task Force. They're experts, they're the best of what they do, and in spite of that, eight were shot for or dead. Michael Letts is

a law enforcement professional who spent his life in law enforcement. Michael Letts, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Michael Letts, when this broke yesterday afternoon, what was your reaction, Well, Bill, it was a great tragedy. I was actually called in to go there, just right down the street in Columbia's not very far from Charlotte, and so you know, as you mentioned when the US Marshall's Office is involved, just what they do

for a living at pros. Of course, they had local law enforcement, they joined them every time they issued a warranty in a search. But in this particular insense where the system has failed us is this particular individual has quite a long list of convictions, quite a long list offenses, and should have been behind bars. It never released. It's part of this judicial system that's just kind of evolving door. It seems to happen quite often to us now.

And the other concern is these officers did not have the active shoot of vest it's needed for a high powered rifle. It was the individual and it appears to be his son and a female companion who were in the house. The son took up continue fire after he was already taken out. And quite frankly, they use high power rifles. Now, I have people tell me, well that means we should have more gun control. Absolutely not. These people had. Look, he was already a convicted criminal. It wasn't supposed

to possess him to begin with. Do you think it stopped anything? Of course, what we need is we need better respect for the law. We need better type situations where the media praises what we do instead of making us as the enemy. Because of the fact that these four officers who have now deceased, gave the ultimate sacrifice just to make sure the community is better and more protectively a quite frankly, they deserve the respected honor that they have given

to this nation in their sacrifice. It's sad. I would imagine us Marshall Service Fugitive Task Force. They go through hours of preparation before they take out someone like this or try to get him arrested. And I would assume that the murderer and his I think his son is nineteen years old and another woman. Is there some indication this Tuesday afternoon that they were also involved in shooting

at the police with high powered rifles. We do have now the indication and evidence that the son picked up the high powered rifle and continued to fire from

inside the house, got back into the house. The assailant was taken out in the yard, but he got back into the house, which is why we had to return three more volleys what we call bolli where you open fire try to bring the situations under control, and he was actively engaged in picking up where his father left off and quite frankly, you know, he was wounded, but he was He'll be fine, He'll be able to stand trial for his actions. I kind of want to get the part about it.

Police. Go ahead, Michael, please go ahead. Yeah. Sad part of it is it could have been averted from the standpoint, had a judge though what he was supposed to do, and had the correction system never released

him, we would have been in a situation today. Some of his record used The murderer, the cold blooded Murderer, had served many years in prison multiple felony convictions, including drug possession, burglary, breaking and entering, felonious assault, fleeing police, and high speed chases, possession of a firearm. In twenty to ten, he served six months in prison convicted of felony B

and E related to an incident to burglarizing homes. In June of twenty twelve, arrested on charges of speeding and eluding subjects of several active warrants, violating all probations and paroles. In order to avoid capture, he turned around at a checkpoint sped away at over one hundred miles an hour in twenty twelve.

After that Ughes was convicted of fleeing and possession of a firearm in September twenty thirteen, back to prison, spent two or three more years in prison, then paroled again, and he began his crime wave through twenty twenty one. In May of twenty twenty one, he was arrested on several charges his violation of probation, violation of parole, including possession of marijuana, marijuana paraphernalia, fleeing and eluding a police officer, etc. He had over his head approximately

seventeen years of prison time. He served a total of three years of the seventeen years, and each time it was paroled for good behavior in prison. And you talk about judges and juries and all that stuff, well also have parole board problems. You can't look at this thirty nine year old that's used this murderer and say that guy deserves parole. You look at his lengthy and those are the ones he's been caught, and a great majority of time he

committed many other crimes of which he wasn't caught. And he gave birth to a child who's now an adult who picked up the gun and the rifle. Were not sure who killed who at this point, I'm sure that the FBI and others will come up with actual who shot, who went and where and how. But at the end of the day, these four police officers are dead and the lives the therefore have been changed completely. Those are the four that survived. Is there a bigger lack of respect for law enforcement? Black

lives matter? To fund the police? Charlotte isn't a rather conservative state North Carolina, but it's a very liberal city. What role do you think to defund the police and the Democratic Party have in all this? I think they

have a huge roul. I think they have a huge responsibility. The buzz is on their hands because quite frankly, you know, I have observed their demonstrations even in Charlotte, total disregard lad for authority and the fact that they have the media that's been complacent and making it look like police are the enemy when the factor matter is you know, we're at a position to bill in this country hour you can't you might have put on a badge anymore. We

are really headed into a situation. Let's come, he's never been in before. It's gonna get a lot worse, We'll it gets a lot of better and let's and turn things around. We had that opportunity, but it's time we take the bull by the horns and begin to respect those who want to bring back ball and order and cause this nation to become once again great instead of falling apart on a world stage. Imagine what the world thinks of the

fact that we can't maintain law of order and the country that's free. I can imagine what Hamas believes in Hespala believes. They look a great success in Columbia. You know one thing I would note, Michael Letz that in the little city of Cincinnati I had on Sergeant Dan Hill, some cops that are

twenty five thirty years into the forest. Well, when they went to we have a facility here called the Duke Energy Center, in which the city says put out a message thirty years ago, twenty five years ago, we need to hire fifty cops. And to his credit, President Bill Clinton, under the leadership of Newke Gingrich, put up one hundred thousand more cops were hired

under a five year program. Because Democrats at that point wanted more law enforcement, so they put out a missive we're going to have fifty more cops. They had three thousand show up with the Duke Energy and Center in Cincinnati for fifty jobs. Now that you could have the pick of the litter and get fifty really good police officers out of three thousand, the same thing happens today. Instead of three thousand, you might have three or four hundred show up,

many with drug and criminal problems. And the whole idea of working class men and women who want to be cops has vanquished. It doesn't exist anymore because they're held in such low disregard. And I don't Michael, letz do you see a change. I don't know what can change this well, and do you see a change? And let me tell you why. I see they change. I see the American people are angry as they've never been before. They're demanding change. You're going to see a sweep in this coming elation

bank. Quite frankly, what I'm encouraging Americans to do is to understand the situation. It's this bad where, make sure that your are to make sure you know how to use it. And then every law enforcement agency in every state has either a state guard, state militia, or reserve program. Police reserve programs volunteer and agree to give five or ten hours a month to help

protect your neighborhood. Become certified, become prudential. Then you're going to see a huge change when the people in government understand that we have taken it back into our hands to protect ourselves. Well, it's unbelievable. These eight cops are shot for or dead, and we'll find out later who shot who when uses dead. He should have been dead to the world years ago with all the crimes he committed, but in North Carolina he couldn't get locked up.

And now these four families, and one of the saddest cop that was killed was a relatively young man and he has a three year old baby, and you can only imagine after ours in the hospital. Joshua Ayer, a six year veteran of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department, fought for his life. He was married, has a three year old son, and there's pictures of his little three year old son wearing his dad's hat. And according to the police, he fought for several hours with his wife and child at his side.

He passed away. And yeah, I happen to know him, Bill, and I will take It's one thing I'd like to say on the air. He had just been awarded top of the Year but just days before this incident for North Carolina Joshua Ireland, and when it came time to defend America, he stepped forward and said, choose me. I'll go. And this young man's dead and his three year old son will not have a father, and something's got to change. We cannot continue with a massive lawlessness. I see

it in Cincinnati. We have shootings. We're gonna have four to five hundred people shot in the little city of Cincinnati this year. And you can't get good men and women to serve because there's so little respect. Have you noticed in Mecklenburger and Charlotte and the Carolinas? Is there a feeling that things have got to change? Or what I feel in Cincinnati with the streets running red with blood it's gonna in North Carolina? Are things changing or not? They

are starting to change? Bill. Here's what I see all across the country, because we're going to travel all across this country daily, is I see a wide wave of people saying enough is enough? What do we do now? This has just started and it's going to continue to grow. But I think what we're going to find out is with a change in leadership nationally to people that believe in law or I think you're going to begin to see that locally as well. Well, you have more hopes than I do for a

change, because God helps those that help themselves. And those who live in all these deep blue cities have got to understand they don't have to live like this. They don't have to live like this, and something's got to change. And the Democratic Party of the nineteen nineties, with Bill Clinton talking about hiring one hundred thousand new cops treating powder cocaine like crack cocaine, of those who saying, well, you know, Democratic Party then said uniforms should be

worn in public schools. Those who act up should be thrown out. The Democratic Party then said, you know what, let's go from welfare to work. That that was that Democratic Party. Here we are thirty some years later. Cops are gunned down, schools are being taken over, and the murder rate of cops is at an all time high. With the death of these four, there's going to be what about four or five hundred cops shot this year in the United States of America. Before I let you go give me

the numbers that we have so far. Approximately we have rul forty nine and killed already three hundred and forty nine, So we're gonna exceed five point of this year easily, most we've ever had in history. We have the lowest morale we've ever had a history. One quick thing I want to add on the air Bill. We just had San Francisco. Their DA charged three officers involuntary manslaughter from a case years ago that the corner had ruled the sailt was

full of drugs. And that's what causes hard to stop. They're now saying that perhaps his arrests caused him to go into cardiac failure and that they're responsible for involadary manslaughter, unheard of in American history. That's the kind of thing that causes people to say take the badge, throw it away, say I

won't do it anymore. That's got to stop. Bill. Of course the media won't cover that, but essentially, these cops in San Francisco arrested someone for a criminal act and during the arrest he suffered a cardiac seizure, and the new prosecutor in San Francisco said, we're going to charge those cops with involuntary manslaughter for causing the heart attack of a drug addicted fool. And these cops are now on trial for their life. And you can imagine a cop

in a prison how they're treated. This is beyond absurd. Wives out, you need savings. Their wives out, their families destroys them, regardless of the outcome. It destroys them even when they're found not guilty, hopefully by a jury. And still we cannot operate this way. If you expect law and order and treat the people who want to give it to you with respect if they deserve otherwise you won't have it. Michael Letz, what is your

website? If any If people want to get more involved in buying better vest for cops, I think that should be a given. But nonetheless, what is your website? They go to ww dot I, n vest USA USA dot orgititarity dot org. They can participate in making sure our officers know that they're appreciated. That's the key thing. If we don't turn this around, build there's not going to be anybody with a badge left. Maybe that's the goal of the radical left in this country, to have more chaos and therefore

more control. The goal is chaos. They're getting exactly what they intend. Don't assume that the radical after this country really wants law enforcement, really want college is to be open. Don't assume that the opposite is true. Your exactly right. They want to make you to lean on the govert the federal goverment. They want to control everything you do, and that's what they're attempting to do. Now. I got a picture of Officer Joshua Eyer, who

you know well, the cop of the year, dead in Charlotte. All right, Michael, lets once again thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. With your permission, we'll do it again. Thank you, Michael, thank you, Real God, bless God, bless America. Let's continue with more. The message is out. You don't have to live like this. You don't have to live in fear of walking your streets at night. You don't have to live in fear of your cars being broken into and what

might come of that. Talk to Benjamin Addison's Addison's family, You don't have to live like this. You can change and put an office those who will cracked down on the law, law, the law breakers in our society. You don't have to live like this. Let's continue. It's more. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WULW. When do you like to listen to Scott's Loan? Yeah, I like to listen to get away from all the negativity. Not a bad idea.

You know I'm listening this morning about twelve to fifteen am YouTube were probably rolling your eyes asleep. Cracks ball hit the short

This should end it. La de la Cruz fields it and uh puts it in the stands. Fire's an absolute missile. And how it was? How fast segment it was? Seven miles an hour from shortstop to first base. Now when you we all just we all just watched the click you could have

thrown out you saint bolt? Why not pitch him? So safe? Is is it safe to say if he throws a ball one hundred and seven miles of per hour on flat ground, that he could probably throw at least that on an elevated mound pushing off a pitching rubber, Which is safe to say that pitching down at the hitter saying he's up on a mount, he's like six foot something. He's up on the mound, he's got a pitching rubber

to push off of and generate more force. It's just safe to say he could probably throw one oh seven and maybe give an Inny, may you give a third of an inning? Why not pitch him a little bit? Oh? Go you go talking about it, David Bell. If the score is like ten to one or something in the Reds out there? Ellie, do you want to pitch? See? But this is where the new age of sports fails us because in the good old days they would do that because it'd

be cool, the fans would love it. But now it's like his agent would be like, no, we can't really have that, and the doctors can involve, and what happens if you hurt something? We can't have any fun. How about a four hundred and fifty foot home run that was a missile off his bat? I watched that last night, scattered the players in the powder bullpen. Now here I do it A long wait? I do

want to explain? He looks up. It is golf. Elie de la Cruz sends one out of here to left center field, a solo shot for his eighth home run of the year. Is nineteenth run batted in and the Reds taken early one nothing lead, seg give those pitching stats from last year the stats we need the stats segment. We need facts. Yes, we went fact. Nick Lodolo was delon struck out a season high eleven over seven innings. The end of there is strike three. That is twelve strikes out

twelve or eleven. It's eleven eleven strike out for Nick Lodolo as he finishes, has sung Kim to end the seventh. He retired the last eighteen batters he faced. Then Fernando T and T Cruise and the big A Alexis Diaz a d as he's named, finished things off. Cincinnati pitching retired twenty three batters in a row from the second to the ninth inning. The parent he has ready at the belt. Here's the two pitch playing in a miss.

He struck him out. That's it. Red's win it. They hang on to beat the Padres five to two here at Petco Park, San Diego. All right now, and not we'll get back to that, but all right here on the TV, we just watched a white female female college student throw a drink on an African American police officer right now, and nothing happens. Nobody does anything. North Carolina, though, look at this. I am

so outraged right now. Look how about how about at Harvard's idiots? How about at Harvard they tore the American flag down to put up the Palestinian flag? Do they know what they're doing? And there's a sign that Columbia says rock, figure this one out. Demilitarized education. Now we're going at it. There we go there, we got what's his crime? What's his crime? Justice bue from the dr is get him in here, get barbecue and force the law. Somebody had ten seconds to get out of here. I'm

flamethrowing the whole quart. I got a barbecue and this why cannot believe what I just saw. Just threw a liquid I op it's water on a black cup with simply wiped it off his face and didn't the rust. So right now, Columbia they have they have occupied what the student center and they will not allow Jewish students into the student center. Now, I ask you what would happen if white students disallowed the entrance to a facility by black students or

Asian students? What would happen? And there's the black cops standing there looking at these white privileged females. You identify who's doing it, wrestle to the ground, lock them up and put them in jail. These white privileged females. Unbelievable, these cups. And Palestine's not even a country. Would you guess, not to get political, but would you guess that these people out here doing this stuff and throwing stuff at the cops and protests and what way

do they vote? Would you say they think abortions of sacrament Democrat? Right, So that got hit in the head, hit in the head. I guess I would be all for the police officers right now taking their clubs out and just beating the hell at them, just breaking and that's what needs to happen. The cops are being told don't arrest anybody, so they have to take this. I feel so sorry for they. They brought the American flag down. They're surrounding the American flag on the pole and they're mainly women,

mainly female. There's some idiot with his hands up. Yeah, you gotta get one right between the eyes. The male students at that university that the jocks there, I say, need to go in there and start instituting some justice. We need Afro Man right there. Get Afro Man and get him out there. We need him. We need something. That's his school, Yeah, that's it's Marty's school. Yeah. Now back to the Reds real quick. Now. The Reds are doing well. If they set the record

for wins in April, or is it if they win tonight? They are sixteen and thirteen, the first winning April since twenty thirteen. I don't think there's any record, because they sure know the record is like twenty and ten from a few years ago. But nevertheless, they're doing very well. The pitching's well.
