8-3-23 Bill Cunningham Show

War So, blewing the lid off, the Iran Contra scandal, and almost taking down the Riggan presidency. They're assuming that I know what I'm doing, that I'm a journalist. I wasn't. I was being thrown into the coliseum to the Lions, had not a clue. Listen to Journalista on the iHeartRadio app wherever you get your podcasts. I really Cunningham to Great America. Welcome to Laura. It's Thursday afternoon in the Tri State Reds baseball. You know, I'm kind of a fair weather fan in a sense, but the Reds

are given up thirty six runs in two games. I said, thirty six runs switched for the Cubbies is an all time record of greatness. And every time I look up, the Reds scoring six to ten runs, getting beat by ten to fifteen runs each game. So I hope this isn't a trend. This is what was happening in April. By the way, They're still in first place, and of course Milwaukee keeps losing two but the Reds are back out of it again to night in the home in the weekend. Let's

get them home. If they win tonight, they're going to be five and five on the road trip, which isn't too bad. But I've been accused of being a fairweather fan, and that's certainly true. I listened last night and things are ugly. I mean ugly. But until then, Alex tryn Tofilu is now the chair of the High Republican Party. He's gone from nowhere to somewhere now. He controls everything with an iron grip in the state of Ohio. And I want to check in with Alex t on issue one on

Tuesday. We'll do that in a moment or two. But also the Trump arrangement, the Trump arrayment is today at four o'clock. Once again, he's going to be purp walked, and the media loves the idea of getting the general of the Republican Army to be walked into a federal courthouse. The media is in overtime saying that, you know, when he called state officials about

ballot integrity, that he was committing terrible crimes. One might recall that in twenty one, George Bush forty three won the presidency by literally one electoral vote, and there were numerous Hollywood actors, actresses, and Democrats besieging Republican electors, don't vote, don't vote for Bush. Don't vote for George Bush. And I might recall that in twenty sixteen, when the Trumpster was elected by

a fairly wide electoral margin, that protests and riots took place. I'm going to blow up the White House, and that all kind of Democrats, from Hillary Clinton to Al Gore to Jimmy Carter all said that, you know, Trump's not a legitimate president. He's an illegitimate president. He's got no power. So when Democrats do it, it's like acceptable. It isn't a time someone spoke up. But when a Republican does it, it gets indicted for

five hundred and eighty seven years in prison. That's the Trumpster. It's unbelievable. Alex Rontafilu, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Alex, give me your perspective on the arrayment of four o'clock today of Donald Trump. From your perspectives, the chair, I can't call you a chairman. That's politically incorrect. You're the chair. You're like a piece of wood, the chair of the High Republican Party. No, billy, it's always going to be

with you. So you know, well, you just described as a phenomenon that I personally experienced. I was an elector for Donald Trump in two thousand and sixteen. You know who the other elector was from this region was your friend and mine, Sheriff Rick Joe and Sheriff Jones from Butler County. We

were both electors right here in Ohio. And during a period in December of that year, I started getting besieged in my home with letters from really all across the country and ultimately all across the world, from people begging me, I mean, pleading with me to not cast my electoral vote for Donald J. Trump because those people and their infinite wisdom, they believed their own big lie, and that big lie was that Russia had meddled in the election.

So in twenty sixteen, as I sat there, ready to cast an electoral vote in Ohio, by the way, Billy, as instructed by Ohio's voters, because Donald Trump won Ohio by more than eight percentage points in two thousand and sixteen. As I sat there as an elector, I was being besieged by all these left wingers telling me to ignore the will of Ohio's voters.

Now, I asked you, Billy, did I did I was I a victim of a crime by these literally tens of thousands of letters that would appear at my home every day urging me to ignore my obligation to follow the rules and to be a faithless elector so I've experienced some of that. I think what you're seeing here is bare bones politics. The timing of it, Billy stinks. I mean, we are right now beginning really a presidential campaign.

We have our first debate in our party in two weeks from now. We are right now in the throes of deciding who will be the next president of the United States. And to wait three years after January to bring these charges now, and to lump charges after charges. You know Bill Barr, Billy who has been no friend of the president. Even Bill barrs he's been critical and said, you know, there was a discretionary call to be made here

about whether or not we ought to bring these charges. There was discretion here. And he said he wouldn't have brought him. I mean, he intimated that he maybe wouldn't have brought him. And this is a guy who's been out bashing the president, but even he recognizes that bringing these charges here undermines

our justice system. So you know, you can tell I feel strongly about this issue, and I think that you know, they ought to left the American people decide who the president ought to be, and we ought to not be using the Justice Department in this way. But I read the indictment. It appears the President Trump made a telephone call to the Georgia Secretary of State. Can you find eleven thousand and seven hundred and twenty votes find him?

He didn't say find them in a corrupt fashion. He didn't say find them illegally. He believed, as many believed, there was lots of fraud and the twenty twenty election, and so as the chief law enforcement officer in the country, he made some calls around saying, are you sure you got the right count? Can you find other votes? He didn't say find them illegally. He said, I believe that I won the state of Georgia, I won the state of Arizona, I won the state of Michigan and Pennsylvania.

And as a consequence, I want you to make sure that's correct and do what you can do what you can do. He didn't say do something illegally. In fact, on the telephone call to the secretary of State of Georgia. There were numerous individuals on that call. The president did not believe he was making some illegal act. He thought he was being screwed, blue tattooed,

and barbecued. Now, that is not nearly as bad as Democratic activists contacting the actual electors in each state, which is a system few Americans really understand. Relative to casting your ballot for the presidency, and whether it was twenty oh one, you were too young to remember such things. But in twenty oh one, the final electoricut was two seventy one to two sixty eight.

It was one vote, and the Democratic activist had a full court press on the electors in twenty oh one not to vote for George Bush and to give their vote to Al Gore. And so, how's it different than doing what the Democrats did as opposed to what the president did. Well, it's it's the same, and it's being treated differently by our Justice Department. Do you know, Bill, I've been a Board of Elections official for fifteen years

right here in Hamilton County. And what the citizens need to understand is that after an election is concluded, there are certain categories of votes, provisional ballots, that are cast, absentee ballots that roll in. You know, we still accept mail in ballots from overseas military voters. So the election itself is

kind of an unofficial finish on election night. In between then and when you when you tally up and actually declare a race officially over a process I've done, you know, two hundred times, probably over fifty years, because we have multiple elections today, We've done that lots of times. There are votes that are counted or not counted during that period. So when Donald Trump says

find me some, he wasn't saying conjure them up. He was saying, of those ballots that are cast that you know, some are declared legal, some are declared illegal, some are counted, some aren't. You know, is there a category of ballots within that sphere that could be counted? And by the way, let me tell you when a Republican is up, we kind of you know, I can tell you that there's an analysis of those ballots to make sure we're counting all of them or they're not counting the right

ones. Democrats do the same thing. And I, without going too far into the weeds, Billy, you know, we had litigation years ago over Judge Tracy Hunter and name. A lot of people may have forgotten where she came in after the election and basically suit us to go find more votes for her, and she ultimately wanted federal cord and we end up opening more ballots that we otherwise weren't going to open. But it's the same process. And if we're going to hang on the one word now again, does President Trump

know the intricacies of how the board works. No, But when he was saying find me some more votes, what he was saying is, hey, during this period after the election, before you certify, there may be more legal ballots that can be counted in this process, and perhaps those ought to be counted. And by the way, the very same thing that people like Cindy Abraham Neighbrahms, the woman down in Georgia, the gubutatorial cant wanted to

do. She but she claimed suppression. She wanted a lot more votes counted at that point as well. So look, it's a two tiered system at this point. It's a shame that we're in this place in our nation's history of a billy. The problem here is really is that there is an establishment class of intellectuals and media and left wing that just reject Donald Trump and all

that he stands for. And look, he's an unconventional guy. His manner is unconventional, is his his You know, his manners aren't always as we're used to coming from the president. But they cannot understand his appeal. But there are a lot of people in America to think what's going on in DC as a swamp and he has spoken to those people in a way that a politician. It hasn't been a long time, Alex t I want to share with you. And this does not get national media attention because of what it

says. And this is from a Pennsylvania judge. Headline. Judge rules Trump protected by presidential immunity for twenty twenty election claims made while in office. To explain, there are more than five hundred lawsuits pending against Donald Trump all over the country. One of the lawsuits was in the state of Pennsylvania, in which he said the Pennsylvania election officials had rigged and stolen the outcome of the

election. So there were two women who sued President Trump and his capacity as president and now privately for damages for defamation, etc. And which is extremely on point to what we're talking about. This Pennsylvania judge says the following, and I have the opinion in my hands, says this. Other legal proceedings may examine the propriety of Trump's statements and actions while he was the president, and whether, as plaintiffs in this in other cases contend it was this conduct

which serves as an actual threat to our democracy. But in this case it is not the proper place to do so. Here President Trump is entitled to presidential immunity, and there's a federal law that says, for example, when Joe Biden sent eleven soldiers to their death in Afghanistan wrongfully against the advice of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the Secretary Defense, it wasn't possible for the estates of those eleven soldiers to sue Joe Biden because of a federal law

called presidential immunity. As long as the president is acting with the cloak of the powers of the presidency, persons injured by such claims cannot present a lawsuit. Otherwise, politicians who vote one way or another would be in court every day, all the time. So this Pennsylvania judge said, that if Trump, acting as president, calls, or contacts or defames women who work in

election offices in Pennsylvania, he cannot be sued. He cannot be brought to a criminal court or for civil damages because he acted and within the powers cloaked of the presidency. If this wasn't the case, Joe Biden could be charged with reckless homicide for sending eleven soldiers to their deaths in Afghanistan against the advice of military leaders. Why isn't this case not on point? And why does the media talk about this? Well, they ought to be And I'm glad

you are, Billy. You know, I'm not retained here to represent President Trump. It sound like you should be, But sound like either. Maybe an immunity defense here as well, And again without getting the noble legalities of the the immunity defense, what I will say is this, generally speaking, we find ourselves in an era where so much of what had been normal in

politics is no longer normal. And that's because so much of that establishment class in Washington, DC looks at Donald Trump and just cannot accept that he is achieving power and gaining support among a lot of the American people. I mean the guy did win the presidents he legitimately he got millions and millions of votes the second time. So what's happening is these concepts like immunity that you're asking

him be about. In this idea that the president has certain privileges because he's been elected to the highest office in the land, those are now being challenged. So you have, you know, a Poe Dunk, you know, prosecutor in New York City, a local you know, city level prosecutor, you know, prosecuting the former president of the United States. These are preposterous

notions. These are things you and I talk about. Imagine when you know, our friend Joe Dieters, when he was the county prosecutor, if he would have decided to indict Joe Biden, I mean, people would have said he was crazy. Now, Joe Dieters would have never done such a thing because he's a sensible prosecutor. But my point is we're in this era now, we're the norms that we're also used to have largely been cast aside.

And it's all because Donald Trump has has lifted up some people who otherwise don't believe that the structure of the foundation of our government is sounded. Look, I'm not necessarily in the camp of believing it all to be a swamp, but there are a lot of people who are, and I think they deserve a voice, just like everybody else in our system. And the idea that they're trying to do everything they can to knock back, you know, one

potential Republican nominee is troubling to me into a lot of Republicans. Well. Lastly, I would say this that the Democrats are now scrambling to save their own ass because if Donald Trump wins the presidency again, and he's more likely to win it than Joe Biden, He's coming back after Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. He's coming after Hillary Clinton, is coming after the Americ Garland is coming after Jack Smith. Much like after Watergate, we had an Attorney general

then John Mitchell who was convicted of felonies and went to jail. And Mary Garland understands that if Trump gets power again, for what they've done to Hunter Biden and how they've hidden those charges, Christopher Ray, the director of the FBI, may be indicted from obstruction of justice if Trump wins the presidency. So now they understand what's at stake, Here is their own survivability, and

to hell with the American people. And when I look at Donald Trump cloak with the power of the presidency calling election officials to say, have you counted all the ballots? Can you find additional ballots that are legally cast? He didn't say go find them corruptly, he said we need to find because he believed he won Georgia. Now they've criminalized a telephone call, while on the other hand, Joe Biden has millions of dollars put in his family's account for

selling American foreign policy. That is a far different matter than making a damned telephone call. And so the Democrat leadership knows what's at stake, which is their own imprisonment. Well, listen, and I this is gonna be a rare moment. I might well, I'm not sure I disagree with you.

But here's what I'm gonna say, And this is it. Maybe a little less sexy on the radio, but I'm gonna say this team, where we can win as Republicans, and where if Donald Trump is our nominee he can win is by getting us away from all this nonsense and talking about the things the American people care about, Billy. I mean, look, it's inflation. You know, you see our bond rating, our national credit rating reduced yesterday or two days ago. You know, we have real problems in this

country. But what's happening in Washington is all this hit for tad about documents and where you store boxes in your office and you know who made what phone call. I mean, look, Donald Trump left the White House on January the twentieth. He walked out. He did what most presidents do. We had a peaceful transfer of power. But Washington is so not focused on things that you care about that I care about. You know, the regular folks,

Billy, that are listening to your program every single day. They're caring about how they're gonna pay for their kids college, how they're going to buy that used car for their sixteen year old, how they're going to pay for their groceries. Gases three dollars and seventy cents a gallon. Right, these

are the things we should be getting back to talking to. So, you know, to the extent that I had President Trumps here, if he got re elected, if he you know, if we're lucky enough as Republicans to win back the White House, I would say to mister president, let all that go. I know it's hard, but let it go in sixties problems and that would be a solution. I'm motivated by that. So I understand

the feeling that people have about restribution in this situation. But I gotta tell you, I think responsible leaders, especially in my party, need to step up and say, let's offer real life solutions to America's problems and then we'll continue to get reelected. Now you're making too much sense, Alex. Once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. The truth will set us all free. Alex Tian Tafia Lu, thank you very much. Thank you. Billy to Yes on one, Thanks Billy Tick. Yes,

I'd said yes on Tuesday. Let's continue. If you're a normal American, vote yes on Tuesday. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred. My friend and I are taking it up to Mexico this year, but neither of us speak Spanish, so we downloaded Babel and started learning Spanish fast. I want to start getting conversational here or one hundred hours a week, so let's you and I discussed this. It's the middle of August. We have an election on Tuesday. Sum are confused. I'm not confused. Yes, yes, yes,

on Tuesday. We'll deal with November when it happens. But had a woman come up to me again to talk about I'm thoroughly confused down at skips getting a little bit of soup, little corn chowder where our employees go to get fired. But nonetheless had an old discussion with her and she says,

what the hell is going on? I sense that many Americans, maybe you included, have completely turned turned off the news and said I can't take it anymore because of the way the media covers events completely irrelevant to your life. A little thing happened with the downgrading of our debt. It's a small thing. Moodies had done it. Now it's another rating agency has taken American debt

down. By that, I mean there's been two times in American history when rating services have taken down the probability of US paying back debt, which means it takes more money. It's as if your credit rating went from under Obama it was like a twenty and then it went down to seven twenty because all the money being spent by Obama for those magical two years. When Nancy Pelosi

was the Speaker of the House, and now it went down again. Two days ago it went from like an A twenty, which is really good under Bamba, got down to about a seven twenty, and right now it's about a six twenty. Because rating agencies around the world believe that our debt cannot be properly serviced inside this country and that there's way too many trillions of dollars

in circulation. So if that's the case, that means when you borrow money for any purpose, you're going to pay more money because the fiscal failures of Republicans and Democrats, mainly Democrats to stay within the boundaries of what is collectible from you and I the form of taxes. So here we go again.

The media will cover Trump Trump Trump. In fact, I'm looking at CNN and they're getting ready with a helicopter or a drone to cover the Trumpster as he travels from Bedminster, New Jersey, to Newark International Airport where he keeps

his jet to fly to Washington to be arraigned at four o'clock today. While really, and this is what Alex trying to feel, Lou said at the end, My god, ah, they're important, there's important stuff going on, But the national media wants to make sure that Donald Trump is unelectable next year by the behavior of their fellow travelers in the mainstream media, the Democratic Party, the newspapers, etc. That the behavior engaged in by Donald Trump

was not as bad or no worse than what Democrats have always done. Now, two wrongs don't make it right. My mama told me, if somebody robs a bank, that doesn't give you permission to rob the same bank the next day. Do what's right. In reality, trying to affect the outcome of an election is something Democrats have made him do. An art form and big sites. Often you have more people voting in precincts than actual residents in

that precinct. National elections clearly have been stolen all over the place by big city democratic machines. It's an article of faith. Many times, many times there have been different slates of electors that have gone to Washington put up by the Democratic Party to keep the Republican out of office. And seven of the

last eight presidential elections. Guess what, Democrats have won seven of the late seven of the last eight presidential elections on the popular vote side, which makes it much easier to win the elector or college when you constantly win that. American people, by a majority, do not trust the outcome of elections.

Democrats don't trust it because they keep watching CNN, and Republicans don't trust it because they know what big city Democratic action groups do, the stuff ballot by So forty two of we the American people, trust the outcome of an election because we know each party, especially the Democrats, are in the business of

stuffing ballot boxes in big cities. Happens all the time. Looking nineteen sixty in Chicago, when Richard J. Daley would not report the results out of Chicago until he knew how many votes he had his steal out of Springfield, Illinois, people kind of laugh about that. You know, Nixon should have been elected, but Kennedy got elected. Well, whatever happens all the time.

In the last election, using COVID as an excuse, the Democrats who ran the election offices in many states put in rules that made it very easy to cheat, and by the time the courts get around to determining whether it happened or not, it's too late. It's either ripe, it's either not

ripe, or it's moot. It's not ripe until the secretary states of those states determine who won the election, which might be December, and by that time it's moot because there's no relief that Kenby granted because the swearing in ceremony is in five weeks, goes back and forth. So what that Donald did here was call and or try to tell states to recount find ballots. He

didn't say find them illegally. Is that find them all? No? I won, and away we go. I think in reality, with the rules in place in twenty twenty, Joe Biden did receive more votes than Donald Trump with the rules in place. And it's happening again in issue one here in Ohio. It takes a lot of money to go to Ohio State University, which will happen in September and October or Toledo or you see, and to register literally tens of thousands of young folks eighteen, nineteen and twenty registered to

vote. And it's done with lots of money, through Zuckerberg and others putting up hundreds of millions of dollars to pay people to go get enough signatures to get someone to vote, and then they collect the ballots directly and indirectly. It's harder to cheat in Ohio than other states because of signature matches. Many states don't have signature matches. So away you go. I hope Issue one

next week goes the right way. Vote yes on Issue one, which means the Constitution to be amended, takes more than fifty percent hell in the United States and takes sixty six percent and seventy five percent of the states, and most of the states don't even have the ability to amend a state constitution. Ohio is out of whack with the other states. But by the time the election rolls around, you're voting for against democracy. Who knows what to hell

that means. I don't know. But this morning, this morning I had Fox News dealing with the Hunter Biden situation. It's not about Hunter Biden, It's about Joe Biden. Let's face that. It's all about Joe Biden.

And the Devin Archer testimony before the House Oversight Panel was released. Devin Archer was a business partner of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, and his testimony said that Barissma, which is an oil and gas company in the Ukraine, was having problems because the Prosecutor's office and Kiev was going after Barissma for bribes paid

to Ukrainian officials. So Barisma was in trouble and the state prosecutor was coming down hard on Barisma, and it was possible that the Barisma CEO and other officials were gonna go to jail in the Ukraine because of bribes paid to Ukrainian officials. So if Big Pow Wow was head involving Hunter Biden and the then Vice President Joe Biden over the phone to try to put pressure on the prosecutor

Ukraine to stop investigating Barissma. So after a few telephone calls were made to d C to the big guy, suddenly Barissma released ten million dollars five million to Hunter Biden and five million to that other Biden first name was Joe, to put pressure on the Ukrainian government to stop investigating Barisma. They're like the x on oil of Ukraine. After the money was paid, suddenly Joe Biden

gets involved as Vice President and tells the Ukrainian government. In fact, Joe Biden even brags about it that if you don't fire that prosecutor, you're not getting the billion dollars of American taxpayer of money. So when it was clear that the Bidens provided air cover for Barisma's illegal activities, the Ukrainian government fired the prosecutor about to indict Barisma officials, and then in exchange, the Barisma

officials paid to the Bidens ten million dollars. That was a drop in the bucket to the moneys that Hunter Biden collected all over the world to go into his pockets and the pockets of the Biden family. Now, the FBI knew

about this at least since December of twenty nineteen. For a ten year period, several every large bank in the world filed with the Department of the Treasury in America sa R suspicious Activity reports that indicated that Hunter Biden, Biden's grandchildren Jim Biden, Joe Biden, Joe Biden at all received serious money put in their accounts through twenty or so different shell companies, structuring and washing the money

from one account to the other. The Hunter Biden collected all over the world to give to his dad, then the vice president, then the former vice president, and now the president serious money. One estimate by nuke Ingridge was one hundred million dollars was used to bribe the Bidens so that Joe Biden could monetize his office. And Joe Biden had watched Barack Hussein Obama signed deals with Netflix for fifty million, another company seventy million. He watched Clintons monetize their

time in office and Hillary's time as Secretary of State. They left office in o one will like no money. Within about ten or twelve years, they're worth a half a billion dollars, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Foundation, millions of the hundreds of millions of dollars donated to those foundations to benefit the Clintons, and so old Joe Biden sat there as a no eight a minute. The Clintons have made hundreds of millions peddling influence. Barak Hussain Obama

and Michelle have made a hundred million dollars. They have mansions all over Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard and in Washington, d C. They're monetizing it. What about me, Where's my piece of the action. So Hunter Biden was the bag man that rolled around the world collecting the cash and dispersing it to the

vice president, the former vice president and now the president. And the SSAR reports out of the Treasury, went to the IRS eventually worked themselves down to two guys named Ziegler and Shapely IRS criminal Division working for the government, both Democrats, one of them a gay Democrat who votes Democratic a course and said, this is ridiculous. We have all this obvious information. Then Hunter Biden for years didn't file tax returns. He's a crackhead paying for underaged prostitutes on

tape bragging about his dad collecting his share of the of the booty. And the guy hasn't filed tax returns. So they're recommending to the Department of Justice now under Joe Biden and Mary Garland, that you foul criminal charges against Biden and see where it goes. You know what happened with that deal? Correct?

Nothing? So then they testify under Oat two weeks ago. Whenever something comes out negative about Hunter slash Joe Biden, suddenly the special prosecutor, the great Jack Smith, who's not won an important public integrity case yet the one he did one against Governor McDonald went down in flames in the US Supreme Court, decides to announce some other startling action against Donald Trump in close proximity to the negative information about Joe and Hunter Biden, and just once again, just

by happenstance on the day and day after the testimony of IRS agents saying that there were crimes committed here, you got the indictment of Donald Trump engaging in similar behavior the Democrats have done for decades. What's good for the gooser is

not good for the gander. When this woman approached me as skips today downstairs getting my corn showder saying, how can one family monetize the presidency and vice presidency and build shot tows as Joe Biden has done on the coast, which by the way, he thinks is about the flood, while the other family makes a telephone call and all of a sudden it's an assault on democracy.

How does that work? Well? I suspect that more and more and more of us, the American people, can figure out what the hell is going on? Last night, I think it was Jesse Waters might have been my friend and yours Sean Hannity head on, a black police officer from the city of Baltimore who did not for two years filed tax returns and screwed the government

of something like eighty thousand dollars. And this black cop was sentenced to nine months in federal prison the Martha Stewart Deal because he didn't file his taxes. The Bidens have received tens of millions of dollars of bribes put in their accounts, including their own grandchildren, and the two irs agents stepped forward and said this is wrong. These are serious felonies, and DJ stepped on it and said, no, big deal, not reality. We're not going to pursue

it. Those agents should have buildings named after him. And so the Democrats now know that if the Donald gets back in office, he's going to come after them the way they went after him to keep him out of office. As a woman said to me at Kroger a few nights ago, on one hand, I may have to vote for a guy charge with a hundred felonies out on bond, as opposed to the guy who is frail and elderly, who's who's a crook, who's accepted bribes. Those may be my choices.

Look at the results of the policies of both, and tell me what you find most acceptable. All right, let's continue with more. Would you say we never stop. We simply continue. And despite the objections of many, I speak truth to power. Bill Cunningham, by the way, coming up next is the president of Cincinnati Right to Life breaking Now, what's going to happen on Tuesday and then after two o'clock today is the fraud of the green

energy movement in this country. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WW with the Autio opperating shotgun. Every road trip is an adventure. Autio is my traveling committee.

Now, I bey Cuttingham, the Great America. Let's continue and never stop. We simply continue Rachel's stack as the recent president of Cincinnati rightel Life. She's an attorney, she's a woman. She identifies as a woman, and that's a good thing. Every now and then, I identify as a six foot ten inch Chinese female. I kind of go back and forth. I change my gender, I change my race. At the flip of a switch, I become somebody different. None of us are all of us are fluid.

And Rachel's Seatach. Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Rachel, let me answer some questions I'm watching this morning, some of the some of the commercials, and of course in radio, we love commercials. And by looking at Issue one, which we're going to vote on Tuesday, about whether or not it takes sixty percent or fifty percent to pass a constitutional amendment, I'm being taught by those who say it's time to vote know that if I

vote the wrong way, I lose my democracy. I don't have any more rights. The big field interests are going to dominate everything that occurs in American politics. So, as the president of Right to Life in Cincinnati, walking in the shoes of John and Barbara Wilkie, can you tell the American people

whether democracy is at stake or not on Tuesday? Absolutely? So. I recently wrote an article in the Cincinnati Inquiry that tried to address many of these deceptive messaging that's been going on, and really Issue one forces political powers to court all segments of our population at all stages of amending our state concert tuition. I discussed this concept of these flyover counties and flyover populations that are often

neglected by political forces. Sixty percent is a threshold that requires black voters to be accorded rural voters, urban voters, Democrat and Republican voters. If a proposed amendment doesn't have that widespread appeal, what the heck is it doing in

our state. Founding document I discussed how there was a time when these passing political passions of the day encouraged Jim Crow laws, encouraged the eighteen twelve Core one Amendment at the federal level, which would have prevented Congress from ending slavery. At that time in history, we have fifty percent plus one that easily would have supported separate drinking fountains, easily would have supported pursuing the South,

preventing them from not seceding from the Union. And it was a dangerous time as a black Ohio and I want it to be dip cult to amend our constitution. It should be difficult to take away, to change, to add to the rights that we have right now because it's so important. I serve many, many diverse different clients. I serve business owners, I serve gay individuals, I serve lesbian individuals. I serve many who understand that with more

amendments to the constitution. That means more regulation for businesses, that means more intervention by environmentalist groups, that means a threat to our Second Amendment rights, that means that our right to life is under attack. All of these things are up in the air if we do not pass Issue one. You said in your article as a block civil rights and constitutional law attorney, I want

a constitution that it's difficult to change and strengthen for the future. I can only imagine if going back in time, we could have voted on all these nasty things about slavery and Jim Crow laws, which, by the way, we're all put in by the Democrats, how much easier it would have been

to enshrine in our constitution prejudice. And so what you're seeking to do here is say the Constitution of Ohio is different than a law passed by the General Assembly, and explained the differential between a law passed by the General Assembly that the next day, the next month, the next year could be an adjusted change, tweaked, but the constitution camp be How is the Tony Bender my producer wants to know who may vote on this thing, even though he lives

in Boone County. He may be a Democrat and vote several times in the Hamleton County. What is the difference between the Constitution and a law passed by the General Assembly? Yeah, Bill, So you know you see on the news of when these states go back and they say, you know, we have these defunct laws that are relics of a prejudice time. The reason why they're able to do that is because those are statutes. Jim Crow laws were statutes, so they could go back in and they could change that. Those

are things that are put in place by our elected officials. If we have a corrupt elected official, we can vote them out. But what happens when we have an amendment that is put into our founding document is that that amendment is given the power to supersede eighty statutes passed by our elected officials. It

is more powerful than a statute passed by our elected officials. And that is because of our very versus Madison. And so we need to make sure that when we have something that is going to be near permanent, that that is something that has widespread appeal. It's something that has been voted in, courted by all segments of our population, all eighty eight counties need to say and what goes on the ballot, and all Ohioans should be weighing in and building

that sixty percent threshold to add anything to our state constitution. Now, Rachel c. Tech, I had a mother who cells here come up to me a couple days ago and say, look, I have two daughters and I have a son. And my daughters are like twelve and sixteen years old. And I said, what good luck do you? You're in a difficult right. I think I think girls are more difficult than boys. Boys are simple one cell organisms. Girls tend to be paramesiums. Boys tend to be amoebus.

We tend to be simple. Girls tend to be complicated. And she said there are already in her public school talking about what gender would you like to be identified? As pronouns are being slips of paper are passed around in school saying what is your preferred pronoun? And that kind of crap is going

on. And she's concerned that State Issue one in Ohio would make it easier for some schools to say, we're talking about here a reproductive rite, and as a consequence, so we need to inquire about about the gender you prefer to be called the name you preferred to be called. What pronouns are acceptable to you? Instead of math and English, and history and Civics, instead of trigonometry and algebra and calculus, instead of American history before and after eighteen

sixty five. Don't talk about the Spanish American War, the Declaration of Independence. Let's not talk about how many US senators are there. Let's talk about pronoun distribution. And in one publication there are liberals on the East Coast who say that that speech is violence and if you don't properly address me with the right pronoun, that is now a criminal act. So can you tell the American people, as a constitutional attorney raise it's a loquator? The thing speaks

for itself. How this could be interpreted state issue one which would take away the ability of mom and a dad to govern or be involved in important life decisions of a teenage girl or a teenage boy. There's, by the way, there's a question in there somewhere. Find the question and if you can answer it. Yeah, that's what they had us sue on those law school

exams. So I think that what's so important to know is that we have groups that are poised to come to Ohio because it's easy to change our constitution. They've spoken in a public spaces like Twitter that their goal is to end parental consent. Urge has said that Publicly Planned Parenthood has said that ACLU they believe not only in what you've said, but that it is important for people to not be able to interfere with the right of miners to get an abortion.

And regardless of where a parent falls on the issue of hormone therapy, sex change surgery, or abortion, what's clear across the aisle, on both sides of the aisle is that parents do not want to be left out of that. They're angry Mona bears and Papa bears of all political persuasions who see

that there are issues with that concept. And so by passing Issue one, we set up that installation to protect our children from individuals and organizations that want to come to our state that see Ohio, like Prime reads, that is easy to change the constitution. We elevate that standard so that they think twice about coming here, because they're going to need to change hearts and minds in order to reach that sixty percent threshold. You know, Rachel most to women.

By the way, women have babies, not men. Although I'd like to have a baby, I don't think it's possible. I'm a man, you're a woman. And most mothers feel that as a teenage having a teenage daughter, there are crises all the time, and one of the crisis ease might be that I'm pregnant. I'm sixteen years old and I'm pregnant. What

am I going to do? And during those crises, and I mean a real crises and a juvenile life, the mother and the father want to feel as if I have great input and what happens to my daughter medically in that circumstance, or if the school is going to the guidance counselor getting hormonal therapy without my consent, and that I don't even know this is going on, that I've had the mother's calling to say, well, my child leaves as a girl, goes to school, dresses as a boy, and then when

she comes back home changes the clothes again. I want to know, as a mother or a father, what in the heck is going on. I have a right to know as a parent about my child's body, what happens to my child. I want to know I want to be involved, I want to control my child, but Planned Parenthood says no. In fact, they will freely tell you that the body of your child belongs to the state for decisions to be made and not involvement of the parent. Can you address

yourself to that issue. Yeah. So, as we've seen President Biden say, this administration believes that these are not the parents children. These are all our kids, as he has stated. And despite what the President has said, the overwhelming response from parents is that they do not want to co parent with the government. They do not want to be forced to give up their parental rights, to give up their involvement, their knowledge of what's happening to

their child. And so how this is interwoven with Issue one is that when you have a state where we have already seen we've already seen cases in our state where parents are having a difficult time maintaining custody. If one parent or a grandparent is willing to undergo the transition with the child, but the other parent is saying, let's hold off, let's wait and see, let's let's hold off, let's let's see if if this is something that we can just

wait a minute on. Well, these groups. They don't want children to be in the custody of those kind of parents because there are bigger forces at play here that want to turn children into life long dependent on medical care. When you look at undergoing hormone therapy, when you look at undergoing a sex change surgery, there are ongoing issues with infection and antibiotics and surgeries that need

to happen again to repair. This is something that parents are looking at, not just in the cultural and political perspective, but they're looking at the health and well being of their child long term, their ability to have children in the future, their ability to avoid sterilization, their ability to be able to

experience sexual pleasure. All of these things are up in the air with these surgeries that carry great risk for these children making decisions as a minor that will affect him long into adulthoods And I would say, for those who wondering about Tuesday, Tuesdays only on the issue of requiring sixty percent to change the constitution, not fifty. And then in November, the abortion issue is squarely on

the ballot. I'm holding in front. I mean, how the language of the ballot initiative in November and there's no reference to banning partial birth abortion. In fact, an abortion can be conducted on a it's not even the term woman's not used her mother. It's called the patient's life or health, and

health has been interpreted to mean financial health, emotional health, whatever. And so in November, when the abortion amendment is voted on, if a woman is eight and a half months pregnant and having a baby might impact her financial health, which, of course children impact the parents' financial health, the strictly permitted you can have partial birth abortion of healthy babies. Is that correct? That's correct. And as we know, the abortion industry is an industry.

All of these procedures and treatments that we've been talking about so far, these are all very expensive and very lucrative procedures and treatments. And so when we when we see that this amendment never mentions the word woman, never protects minors, we see that, as we said earlier, an amendment like that is

more powerful than statutes. So any statute that we have in Ohio right now that our elected officials have put in place to protect minors, to make sure that parents are notified, all of that can be challenged in the courts. As unconstitutional once this amendment is added to our state founding document. So we have to be so so so informed and vote no in November, vote yes

in August. All right. Rachel C. Tach, who is the president of Right to Life in Cincinnati, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show this Thursday afternoon. And for those who are wondering, look who supports each side of this issue and planned parenthood Emily's list say vote yes in August, which is next Tuesday. So as a normal American, the role is to vote yes in August, which is yes requires sixty percent, then a

November vote no. But the vote of yes and August has required. Rachel C. Tach once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And we'll do it again. Thank you, Rachel, thank you take sure all right, God bless you. Let's continue with more very simply on Tuesday. Do you want to raise the constitutional requirement to sixty percent as opposed to fifty, so the vote on that would be yes. Then November will deal with that when it gets cold. And by the way, climate change

happens every three months. Let's continue with more of Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred w W suffering from ed or pe c instant. Oh, hello, hello, hello, quiet, and I'm scold.

So I'm in a wait a minute, Calm it down. Donald Trump is not Jesus of Nazareth. I hate to say that. And those who oppose him aren't exactly punctuous pilot, thank you, and the Romans centurions aren't exactly the FBI. But that's the level. And where's Richard Burton in the robe?

But now let's see um Red's update. Oh my god, can they they should have traded for Ian Happ Can the

Reds trade for Ian hap before his careers over? Well? Wat I watched and listen to the games last two nights. They gave up thirty six runs, sag. Well, if you were to ask that age old question, how are we looking? Not good? That's for That's for sure, Marty, because uh we we hear the most of the Reds pitchers now have neck and problems by watching them turning their heads watching the ball fly out of there.

If I see Ian happen again, I'm gonna have projectile vomiting. Buck Farmer, Lucas Sims and Alex Young combined for nine runs in a total of two innings of work. What did you say, Buck Farmer? You didn't say that, Yes, I did, I say Buck Farmer? Yeah. The last time the Reds gave up thirty four plus runs in consecutive games combined, plus September twenty three and twenty four, nineteen o one, when they

gave up forty one. That's from our man, not the luck Up character, Joel luck Up, the king of stats at Bally Sports, Ohio. Now this one comes from the Cubs. The thirty six runs by Chicago are the most in a two game span since June eighteen ninety seven, when the Cubs were the Chicago Colts. Did Buck Farmer work for the pitch for the Reds? Then? I think it's great, great, great great great grandfather

did. Now the Cubs, like Old County, have scored one hundred and forty five runs since the All Star Break, forty more than any other team in baseball. Plus, David Ross's club becomes the first in Major League Baseball history with ten extra base hits and five home runs in consecutive games. I tell Buck not to pitch. They're throwing an underhand say how many? You know how painful this is to watch? Thank you? I'm watching it. I'm watching it. Who was president in nineteen o one? It wasn't Woodrow

Wilson? Right? No? Who was president? And I give me a hint. You gotta give me hints on these guys. It's for nineteen oh one. His first name begin begins with the tea. Tommy Thrall. No, Thomas Jefferson one hundred years off? Who was? Sorry? Who was? Probably you should have said mount Rushmore. I would have got it. Well, I mean, you know T T Tommy T. Tommy Thrall? Who is president in eighteen ninety six? Grant? No, you fool? When I was eighteen sixty eight from Ohio? Well, Grants from Ohio.

Not this guy though. Let's see a big high school is named after him. Coleraine deer Park. Uh say X, please continue. McKinley, McKinley, sorry it was shot. Yeah, that was in Buffalo, was it? Yeah? You know it's dumbest people, k unless he butt. Oh you can't say that either. Ben Lively, who gave up thirteen and four innings the night before, ship him out. No, he's on the I l with a right pectoral strain. What a right pectoral strain? His boob

hurts. I don't know, well that does in his neck. Let's see m L Central though, Willie, there is always a bright spot on this show. The Reds remained in first place by a half game over the Brewers. But look out the Cubs are three back and two down in the wild card. Well, they need they need to win this game tonight. Would you agree? Yeah? Maybe not? Give up to twenty twenty and sixteen runs apiece? Are they also are storing? So that's true. Joey Votto

with a couple of homers last night. He's now tied for ninety fifth on the all time list. Look to you're right there segment. There's the drones are up. The media is covering the Donald going from Bedminster to Newark. Get into seven fifty seven, take a little flight down to Washington. How long does that take? About ten minutes? Ten minutes to appear in front of an Obama appointed judge who says, hang them high when it comes. Hey, that was a good movie with Clint Eastwood. I like that movie.

Let's see Bengals update, Willie, our beloved Bengals in about a half hour back on on the field a training camp. A report from James Rapine Live in about one hour. NFL preseason kicks off tonight, What Jets Brown Jets, Jets Hall of Fame game in Canton, seven thirty, Fox Sports thirteen. This Bad Boy is on. It's on NBC tonight, the home of Mike Darts. I wonder if CC is in Canton. I don't call anybody anymore, so I'm just saying, you know, we could. We

could probably call him and see if he's on Calling him. Yeah, I'm not calling him also, Willie, let's see. Speaking of the Bengals top twenty NFL player in merchandise sales, who do you think's number one? La Della Cruise? No, it's NFL. I'm saying he should play tight end. Norick Mahomes is number one in merchandise sales in the National Football League? Am I stupid to say this? Should La Cruise line up at wide receiver and catch passes from Joe bar Well Joe Burrow gets back on the field,

he probably will. Wouldn't that be interesting? Yes? Would that sell them out? I don't think the Bengals have any problem selling out anything that anymore. My homes number one, number two, Joe Burrow, No, Ellie Della Cruise, No, No, Aaron Rodgers, you can't tell me that. You can't tell me Joe Burrows number three, Jamar Chase is nineteenth. I'd like to think outside the box. Yeah, why not have Della Cruise

catch some footballs from Joe Burrow? Also, Willie? Let's see college basketball former UC standout Bearcats David de Julius is signing today as a pro with a team in Greece. H in Greece. Eh. Yeah, And you see how Messy was treated last night? I see a couple of those. Do you see a couple of his goals? Yes? I did, Mercy, Mercy, That guy is unbelievable. Andy Mack, the league is hitting MESSI

to take him out. Well, maybe that's the plan of the idea if he'll be here in a couple of weeks, Right, I got an idea. Yeah, how about Della Cruz playing for FC? Would that be interesting? Yes? No? Oh, Lapham says no. And then also whether there's a report that the somebody spelled shivy at wrong on the ice seventy four North Bend Road exit side c E V i OT that's the way it ought to be spelled. But it's ce v O I T we understand the west

Give me the Jack? Oh? Yeah, I went to Jack and the Steak. Why don't you get a hold of Brittany Ruby, get a hold of Charlie at Jeff Rubies. Yeah, and see if they can have a special night to get that guy to grill a steak at Jeff Rubies for one million dollars.

Would you do that? What kind of tip would you have to leave on that? At least? Did you get a Freddie salad with that? You go half? No, why don't you call him? See if tomorrow I'll call him. Okay, I'll call him. I'm gonna call this. I'm gonna call mister Baron's up and see if he can be on with us tomorrow as a stooge. Make him the stooge of the day, right,

You mean at practice or in a real game, in a real game, and then playing FC Cincinnati TQL No, maybe against Lionel Messi the Ellie Della Cruise, No, yea or nay? Who wins

that matchup? I don't have to go with the big m Willie because soccer guys aren't tall. Guys are like short and kind of stout about wide receiver. Well he'd be I think he'd be excellent. I think probably in the off season or probably after the season. Off season, and probably Ellie de la Cruz hangs around and goes to Bengals practice one day and go crazy. Why I was hitting home runs at my ballpark right four right? They just

reciprocate. Why don't we go over there to uh, you know what, and I can't believe I said that big of a name and said, would you have Jamar Chase or Ellie de la Cruz catching balls from Joe Burrow? He'd be a well, there there's the Donald staff there he is, is it? Well? He tripped? No, No, only Joe Biden looks like there he is. He's gonna wave. This is unbelievable.

Way of James Rapine, reporting live from Pecorn about one hour about Joe Burrow, Yes, and whether he's walking with a limp yea or nay. And I'm going to relate to him some of your comments that Joe Burrow is accident prone. That's from Rocky. Secondly, he will not sign a contract. You're ready, get me out of this tute board. By the way, coming

up next, does the environmental movement damage the environment? My next guest says absolutely. Segment Please continue, Willy, we say happy Birthday to Fritz once again his first birthday today at the Cincinnati Zoo. Happy birthday to Fritz and the grille Master Tony Barons at a longhorned steak. You are our citizen of the day one million stakes. Will you call him? Yes? We leave you with the immortal words of the stud report. And by the way, and I'm not I may be a white boy, but I'm not stupid.

That's funny. Well, racial humor seldom works when it's expressed by a well known racist named Joe Biden. I have the evidence. I have the proof. Let's continue.

Here we are in August, and the weather is hot, in fact in the desert, a drill hot in August. But nonetheless the mediup against every broadcast with a weather report, and no matter where it is, whether it's David or Lesterhold, whatever it is, all they talk

about is weather. And we do know that al Gore left the vice presidency more or less a broken man, having lost a George Bush in twenty oh one by one or two electoral votes, despite the efforts to democra rats to have the elector switch, which today's a crime. But that's a different issue. Now he's a multi zillionaire because he hooked onto inconvenient truths about the weather

and about the climate. And now we know that windmills and solar panels are the key to human life that if you don't have a windmill, if you don't have a solar panel, you're all going to die. Even though Ford Motor Company has lost something like seven billion dollars on evs and making money on unletted gasoline and internal combustion engines, we do know lots of money is in

green, in fact, lots of moneys into gold. Now we find out that off the coast of the United States there's large numbers of whales and other mammals washing up on shore and the windmills of Indiana and Kansas there are literally billions of birds that are killed every year, which has the unintended consequences of hurting crops and all the mosquitoes, etc. A man who's written about this is Craig Rucker, President of Sea Fact. Craig Rucker, Welcome to the

Bill Cunningham shown. First of all, Craig, can you tell the American people in general where is the so called environmental movement today and what part of it is true and what part of it is false? Well, I would honestly say that, and thank you for having me on the show. Bill, I would say that there are kind of a bifurcation. That's a big word, but there's a split in the environmental movement today. You have those who are the mainstream, the big boys, the environmental defense funds, the

green pieces, Sierra Clubs, those organizations. When it comes to some of the environmental impacts of this, particularly renewable energy, they're all crickets. You can hear nothing. And that's probably because a lot of these groups receive big dollars from those who are putting in solar and wind farms. On the other hand, those on the grassroots level actually are concerned about these things and are

in dismay over the direction that some of these big groups are doing. Because as evidence is coming out that wind farms are chopping up birds and backs, endangered eagles and the like, and uh, you know, the offshore wind is possibly harming whales and dolphins and other marine mammals. You know, this is actually making this split in the environmental movement more apparent, and I think for moving forward, it's going to be very interesting to see what actually happens

there. Well, what's going to happen is we're going to continue I'm kind of waiting for the Sierra Club to go after Greta Thunberg and others to eat their own, because one cannot imagine talk about the commercial fishermen off the east coast of this great country of ours that are being chased out of business with these with these windmills in the middle of the ocean. It hurts the views,

which those are Motha's Vineyard don't like. But nonetheless, what is the damage to the marine life, which you would think the environmentalists would be all pissed off about. The whales are washing up on shore, there's there's sonar abilities are being disrupted. I can't imagine how many millions of fish are being being killed and how many billions of birds are being filled killed. But why do you think that the environmental movement ignores the damage done by the environmental movement?

Well, there's actually an article written by this in a Los Angeles newspaper recently that they say, maybe some species you may have to be eliminated for

the greater cause of climate. And what you're seeing right now as a Biden administration has this program to put thirty thousand megawatts of offshore energy in place by twenty thirty, and no doubt they're listening to the likes of AOC who said, we have only until twenty thirty until the yet happens, but they're going to be putting in one thousand, five hundred gigantic wind turbines about fifteen to

thirty miles off of our coast. Well, these are right in the lanes of a number of migrating whales up and down the east coast, and the noise and vibrations many are starting the wink to why we're having an unprecedented number of whales beaching themselves, some say upwards of four hundred percent since twenty sixteen really when they started the sonar blasting and mapping of the ocean floor to put them in, and today they're doing a pile driving where they use these loud

hydraulic hammers to put them in. But even once they're up, the size of these structures and the turbulence that they can create when there's wind need conditions can literally put an impenetrable wall, hurting the sonar activity. Because of course these are marine mammals that get their direction from sonar, and this could be three hundred and sixty five days a year, you know, twenty four seven where they're actually having their direction messed up with, and they really aren't doing

any studies to do this. If this was an oil platform, you better believe that they would be out there. So as far as the wind turbines, when I think of a wind turbine, I don't see a huge structure. Can you describe the size one thousand, five hundred additional wind turbines killing millions of mammals and also billions of birds? What are the size of each

one of these things? How big are they? They're varying in size, but generally range from about six hundred feet in the air to about seven hundred and fifty or eight hundred feet in the air to their motor. When you include their blade, which is quite huge, you're looking at over a thousand

feet. Now, to put that in perspective, the Washington Monument is only about five hundred and fifty feet tall, So these are about, you know, just to double the size when you include the turbine and the spinning portion together, they're massive, and in fact, the biggest ones in the world

are supposed to be put in off of Virginia. And that's why we and some of our allies are going to try and sue to stop that, so they at least to a proper environmental impact statement before they PLoP these things down right in the middle of where you have. You know, some of these marine mammals are very threatened. You have the right whale. It's not called right because of its political affiliation. I guess whale hunters thought it was right

for blubber and oil back in the eighteen hundreds. But the right whale, there's only three hundred and fifty of them left. They're critically endangered species, and nobody seems to care. On the environmental movement. Why can you give me the reason? Because I would think Greta Thunberg would attach herself to one of these wind turbines, maybe throw tomato soup at it. Well, why does the environmental movement New York Times, Washington Post ignore the damage caused by

environmentalists to the environment. Why does the media ignore it? I would say twofold reason for that. I would say number one is a lot of them are on the take to get money from the renewable energy industry. It's big

business. There's a lot of money to be had in this thing. The second reason is because they are bought and sold on the idea that the world's gonna explode and come to an end, despite the counting evidence that climate hype is closely exaggerated, if not completely fabricated in a lot of cases with some of the claims they make, and they feel that the ends justify the means, you know, I mean, Greta Fundberg actually made a prediction back in

twenty eighteen the world would end in five years on Twitter. She just took that down because the five years has come and went, and actually, there's life goes on. It's not a lot different. And of course others have made such claims as well, and the dates have come and gone. They just moved the dates up. And it's almost like people forget that. They keep car crying apocalypse and it has yet to emerge. And what is the

value of wind turbines when it comes to the production of clean electricity? By the way, nuclear power plants are much more efficient, put many more people to work, and has no environmental damage. You take natural gas and fracking puts to work hundreds of thousands of middle class Americans. It's the cleanest source of energy this side of nuclear power. Natural gas has been a revolution as far as cleaning up the environment. Well, how much electricity are we talking

about? Of course, the cost of that is the natural world as being destroyed by the environmentalist. But any idea how much electricity is actually produced by these wind turbines. It depends where you are in the country. Some states that can be as high as anywhere from ten to twenty five percent. In those are places that are aggressive, other places much lower, but they do pay an enormous cost for that, as do nations that go heavily into wind

power. You take like Denmark, for example, the citizens are paying about thirty five cents a killowte hour. It's approaching forty cents a kilowatt hour. By contrast, Americans pay about ten to twelve cents a killo one hour. So the more you have renewable energy, the more it jacks up the cost.

Plus it destabilizes the grid because it's intermittent power. It does produce energy when the wind is blowing, but you need backup and so what winds up happening is you have these natural gas plants that have to be ready at you at any moment to crank it up and cover for wind. Wind energy isn't producing anything and that cranking up of natural gas actually admits a lot of CO

two. So even though they're putting this in and allegedly trying lower CO two emissions, in truth, it's hardly limiting them at all because they actually wind up, yeah, you know, having the backup power, and that backup power winds up having to spew more CO two out in order to cover wind's button. And before we talk about evs and solar panels, is there an idea among the so called the smart ones, you know, the educated ones, the ones who used the proper prefectus and pronouns, those who run our

society. Any apprehension at this point in August of twenty twenty three, relative of these wind turbines, that we're on the wrong track. We got to stop doing this because it is being funded by the federal government. The Green New Deal is being funded through the Inflation Protection Act, both of which are

misnomers. Is there any apprehension that this has got to change, That we're on the wrong course, That we're killing mammals, we're killing birds, where changing the environment, That our movement is causing damage to the environment, we're hurting what we're seeking to help is there any idea that the gretted Thunbergs and the Sierra Clubs and the al Gore types do they now know they're on the

wrong track. Well, there have been some, and I point out people like Michael Shellenberger, who was once charge of her Obama putting in the Green New Deal. He's now come out and done in about phase. Meredith Anglin, she's written a book now and she is understanding renewables aren't doing that.

You have Steve Coonan and others who have written bestsellers. It used to be on the left, now on the right saying that you know, much of the climate hype is overblown, but this push for renewables is actually bad news for the environment. But by and large, most of the utilities and the you know, the public utilities commissions and the industry is seeing dollar signs. They don't. Nobody's really managing the grid in a strategic fashion because federal dollars

are out there, and you get certain perks for putting this in. And if people have to in their covered because the ratepayers pick up the tab. So as long as the businesses are profiting, it's not really a market situation. You have no choice but to get the energy from where you're getting it in most cases, and they're making money at it, So no, they aren't really taking charge of the grid. And many experts feel our grid is

poised to collapse unless somebody starts taking charge. It should be the job of Birk or Nirk, some of these federal agencies. But they, you know, they just seem to be blinded to the Everything is looked through with climate change lenses nowadays. Creig Rucker. It's an old principle of government that when you fund something, you get more of it. When you tax something,

you get less of it. And because of what Joe Biden has done with giving out money to wind turbines and solar panels, you get more of it irrespect of the value it brings to the environment. Now, lastly, on electric vehicles, a guy named Farley runs a Ford motor company. He admits they lose every year billions and billions of dollars in creating these electric vehicles without

their power stations, without their power grid to support it. And we have no way of getting rid of literally billions of individual solar panels once their use has been completed. Tell the American people about solar panels and how much electricity they produce and what happens when the sun doesn't shine and the wind done blow solar energy one to three percent of our electricity production. They're very non efficient,

they have not shown themselves ready for prime time. Very disturbing about them is well, first, they can only be used in limited places where it is a lot of sunshine generally speaking, but they actually are composed of minerals that are rare earth, minerals that have to be mined in other countries that

don't have the pollution standards nor the human rights standards. We get a lot of the materials from the Congo for example, where they use child labor, or from China which seems to have a corner on the market for the rare earths that we use for solar panels, and they use weaker labor, slave labor in order to get it. And of course there are a strategic enemy, so by going solar, we actually have serious national security interests that are

at stake here, and really from our perspective, it's a you know, it has not shown itself ready for prime time and is just an energy source that I think again, apps of the federal dollars, nobody would be pursuing.

When your fund bad policy, you get more of it. I had a guest on two months ago that talked about what happens to Congolese boys and girls who go into the mines in order to with their bare hands, often use their fingertips to pick up rare earth minerals, putting on their backpacks and then marching out of the mines twelve hours a day, six days a week.

And the communist Red Chinese have bought off the leadership of the Congo with millions of dollars, taking billions, and those rare earth minerals make their way to the coast, make their way then to China, then they come into the solar panels we now use. I could not imagine if America had elementary aged children five, six and seven years old reporting to mines every day in West Virginia, digging with their fingers for rare earth minerals. How long that

would last? But as long as long as it is a black kid in the Congo. The liberal don't care, do they no? And in fact, they get excellent ESG scores, that's Environmental social governance scores. The companies that are involved in renewable energy are looked at as you know, captains of industry and you know, the ones that we ought to be following. It's

it's actually kind of infuriating. We've actually confronted Black Rock and Vanguard at some of their shareholder meetings about this, trying to put in a resolution to say, hey, we won't do business with companies that are involved themselves in these sorts of things, and they basically shot it down every time. So, you know, I and you know, they're very far left, and they don't seem to really care about human rights or the environment when it really comes

down to it. They care about pursuing big government policies, policies that empower China at our expense and pollute the environment. It'd be interesting if Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey would leave their Martha Vineyards mansions and take up the calls of black kids in Congo being killed to mind these rare earth minerals to benefit the communist red Chinese. Wouldn't that be interesting if Oprah Winfrey and Michelle cared about

the black kids being killed in the Congo. Wouldn't that be good? Well said, yeah, and of course, they're very involved in trying to shut down wood fired pizza ovens and telling us we have to get rid of gas stove, barbecue grill. Yeah, that's the problem. Things that worked, and I suspect that they don't actually believe any of these regulations apply to them. Lastly, we have about twenty seconds reminding Craig Rucker, what is your

this time sixteen to six. The last time the Reds gave up thirty four plus runs and consecutive games combined September thirteenth, September twenty third, and twenty fourth, nineteen o one. I believe not good. The thirty six runs by the Cubs are the most for them in a two game span when they were the Chicago Colts in June of eighteen ninety seven. They're setting records.

Andy Mack Bengals update after after a day off yesterday just for meetings, the team is back on the field one week from tomorrow.

Okay, Yeah, let's continue with a more James Verpaine live from pay Corps on a Joey Burrow update, all in News Radio seven hundred WLW our iHeart Were You Music Festival is coming back to Las Vegas September twenty second and twenty Mildred WLW also available on ninety four five FMW two three three BG Cincinnati I Billy Cunningham, the Great America and many are concerned about Red's baseball. Haven't given up by thirty six runs in the

last two games in Chicago back out of tonight. But on one hand, if they win tonight, they're going to go on the road trip five and five, which tain't bad. They can beat up on teams like the Dodgers and the Orioles and the Rangers with a loocrity. When it comes to beating up on the Cubs, not so much. And of course there's Chicago. Cubs are now three games out of first place. There's a heartbeat in Chicago. But also I'm getting reports from pay Corps that Joey Burrow is not as

hurd as people thought he was. Joining you and I now is at James Rapine of Sports Illustrated and All Bengals dot Com and James Rapine, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and James. First of all, before we talk about Joey Burrow, are you concerned at all? You're there at pay Corp as I speak about the Reds like giving up thirty six runs and have they lost the magic touch the rally Reds? Are you concerned as Tony Bender is,

No, not concerned. It is. It is kind of wild that they've given up that many runs over two days, and of course people are looking at the trade deadline and wonder what if if they had done anything to help this team. But it's just two days and it's one hundred and sixty two games, so let's not overreact too much. They're still in first place, but they're in first place by half a game. But we'll see what happens they come back home. They got to make big decisions about some of

their players. Sinzel does not belong a third base. He looked like a croquet wicket. Then he can't throw the ball, But that's a different issue. You had reporting earlier about Joe Burrow. There was and on doctor Timothy CRENCHUK. Doc Hollywood is not the trading physician by the way, who said two to four weeks. And now I get a apart from the segment that you are saying that Joe Burrows walking around without a boot, Please explain yourself

he is. Yeah, he's walking around without anything outside of just a little calf sleeve, which is similar to what he practiced in on the day that he heard his calf and suffered that cat scream. So I think that, you know, the two to four weeks is fair. I think there's a scenario where if he needed to, they could have brought him back. There could bring him back within two weeks. Let's say it was in the middle

of the season. The beauty of this is it's not so I don't expect to see Burrow until probably that four week mark, which would be the end of August, and we'll still give him a few weeks of practice before week one. James R. Payne, Is he walking with a gimper or limp? Does he look like Chester and gun smoke? Is he walking around with a limp or kind of walking normal? He's walking around with that Joe Burrow slax. Still, Yeah, there's no no limp. It's just that little

casual stroll. And I was surprised to see it. And it was back to back days too. It was Monday and Tuesday. We saw him walk around the locker room and through the locker room without any lift. Now, that doesn't mean he's running or jumping or doing anything like that. And I'm sure the treatment has that cast store. I don't think it's close to one.

But I think in the grand scheme of things, this can just be a footnote and doesn't have to define the Bengal season, which naturally a week ago when he went down, we thought it could be much much more serious. Many of us cannot make it down and pay Course Stadium named after my good friend Bob Coughlin who started pay Course so many years ago. Can you put your finger on the pulse of bangled him about what happened when he went down? Throughoutbout three or four days ago? What's it like now? Was

it a sense of funeral was being planned? For sure? I think initially that was that was the fear. And you know, you had some that were certainly worried about his achilles. They were certainly thinking about, man, if he misses thinnificant time, how will this team be able to survive? And it turns out that it's it's not going to be there shouldn't be that serious now, it's still needs to heal, but yeah, a lot of people the pulse. I'm not sure there was a pulse there for an hour

or two and then we start started to hear that. I think he's going to be just fine. And obviously the casting report came out, so overall, it stinks that he's missing these reps, but I don't think it's a game changer in terms of the season and where they could go. How has he involved in the team now? If he can't be more or less on the field, what's he doing? He's reporting every morning, staying every night.

What's he doing when he's got nothing to do? Yeah, so during practice he's lifting because there's obviously no other players in there, so he's lifting, and he's getting treatment in the training room, and he's taking part in all meetings. So the only thing he's not doing is actually physically going out there, throwing, passing, all of those things. Everything else he's still

able to do. Obviously, he's not working the calf in the weight room the way he would normally with that right leg, But other than that, it's it's much better than last year where he couldn't do a lot of those things, the physical aspect of things, and had to put on weight before the season, and it was kind of a sprint to week one. I

don't think it's that. I think that this is more of all, right, well, you're going to be involved in everything and you can still lift, and we're just going to take it light on this calf for a while and let it fully heal, and then we'll bring you back when it's time to bring you back. So he's in better shape. I think now that he was a year ago at this time, James, you're repaying this segment. Dennison said that Joe Burrow is injury prone. It's a knee, it's

an appendicitis, it's a it's a calf. I mean, is he injury prone? That's what segment says. Seg said that, Man, I'm gonna go tell Joe the segment. Dennison, No, I think I think it is weird because they're all a little odd odd injuries or issues, and I wouldn't go that far. But I do think that if he doesn't stay healthy now, or let's say he gets injured after signing that contract, there will be more people that say that. I don't think it's that. I think

it's an apl you can't control a pendicitis that's it's really random. There's nothing you can do. And then with this, you know, it's it's one of those things where if it doesn't really impact week one, then we're not even going to remember it. But it just feels really big right now. So hopefully he gets healthy if we can shelve any kind of injury prone talk

with Joe. What about the contract segment? Dennison said there was a two hundred and fifty five million dollars million dollars, five year contract on the table and it was pulled when he got the injury. What's your knowledge on that. I think he's asking for that, don't Cunningham, So lifetime deal guaranteed, I'm just kidding. I think fully guaranteed bonuses, ninth weekend, holidays, all takes, you know. I think the deal is going to get

done. The injury doesn't really matter when it comes to that because it's a minor injury. If it had been something more serious, I think that it could have showed discussions potentially, because it's just an awkward spot to be in for both sides. At the same time, I think this is honestly built a perfect time for Burrows and his agent to sit down with the Bengals and

figure out how to hammer this deal out and get it done. Because does he stepped back on the field without an extension now knowing that he injured that leg. I don't know. So I think this is the time to get it done. One. If it isn't done by September the tenth at one pm, Bengals at Cleveland, you got to Shaun Watson, well massage. I might add, ready to go if there's no deal by September the tenth at one o'clock. James Rapine is not a problem. That's a big problem,

no doubt. It's a problem for the organization. It's a problem for Joe. It's something that I don't think is going to happen. But if we did get that far, and obviously we have five weeks until essentially five weeks until September tenth, yeah, I think we would go. You know, that would be pressing to the panic button a bit because team means so much to the team, to the franchise, to the city. The Bengals certainly know that. Mike Brown said he's the heart of the team, heart

of the franchise. Well, you got to make sure that heart is happy and healthy, and so they're getting him healthy right now, and the contract could make him happy. And if he's happy, I think that the Bengals and Bengals fans will be happy for a long time because you see how good he is. Mike Brown is impregnable. Mike Brown is Darth Vader Mark. Mike Brown is undefeated, untied, unscored on He beats the Irs and tax

coord on multiple occasions. He brings them to heel. If Mike Brown wants the deal done, it's done by three o'clock today, It's done by four o'clock when Trump is rain for the third time in the last four months. If, on the other hand, the deal is not done and we started hearing about not enough guaranteed money, we want this, you got that.

Now we got problems that would spoil the twenty twenty three season. If you would have Joe Burrow going on these multiple he's a franchise player, now, he's an extra franchise player, now he's playing out his deal, etc. That would ruin the glow around the ball club. Would you agree? It would, no doubt? And that's that's why something needs to get done. I think something will get done. You can't have this new age, new look team and franchise, and they've changed a lot of what they've done in

THEA They deserve credit for that. And obviously they've had a ton of success of the past two seasons. You can't continue that growth without paying the guy that means more than anyone else in this building that I did right now, including my friends. He just does. He is the the guy that has changed everything, whether we want to admit it or not. And I think

everybody does admit it. And so I think they'll get something done. And it wouldn't shock me if it was done sometime this week or sometime next week. I think it'll get done. To lastly, James R. Pain. It is now September the tenth, It's four thirty pm, and the Bengals are walking off. Whatever the name the field is anymore in Cleveland. Yeah, what's the name of it? What's the name of the stadium? By the way, do you know Cleveland Brown Stadium? That's really creative it is

anyway, Yeah, they changed it. It was First Energy and then they dropped the sponsor. That's not such a good sponsor anymore. But but nonetheless give me the final score. Bengals Browns four thirty pm, September the tenth. I will hold you to it. Bengals twenty seven four, right early. If I've been asked about it, Earli, if I've been asked about a prediction. By the way, though, so now I appreciate it. But twenty seven twenty four giving me a tough game, but I think they'll

get it done. You know one thing that will not happen is the Reds will not change the name from the Great American because I will be here for a long time, lifetime contract guaranteed. But break news. I might have broken news here, can't say, can't say guarantee, James Rpine, get back here quickly and get some Roun's roost. But thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, James Rpine, twenty seven twenty four, Bengals win

September the tenth. Thank you, James. Of course, I'm gonna go ask my bosses for a lifetime deal now, thank you go bonus laden, Thank you very much, thank you, all right, thank you ass continue with more news next at Shruma.
