8-31-23 Bill Cunningham show

The afternoon of the Christ David. Right now, the Reds are back in town and taking the long queue. They were five and five on their road trip on the West Coach and that normally is a victory, but it doesn't feel like one. But the Cubs are in town. Double tip tomorrow day night, doubleheader split makeup game at one oh five in the regular hym at six forty and more. Plus the EBN fireworks are ongoing. Special time to

be an American. But joining you and I now is Congressman brad Winstrip, who spent years in the military service and also he's on the chair of the Subcommittee on COVID, also on the Intelligence Committee in the House. And Congressman

doctor brad Winstrip, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, I had a guest on a couple of days ago who talked about here comes COVID nineteen again with the boosters being developed, that sometime in September, sometime in October, we're gonna have a booster, and there was some reporting that Joe Biden was going to require all of us to get the booster. And here we're back again with them asks as a doctor, as head

of the COVID Committee is all that required? What do we have to look forward to this fall? Well, it doesn't seem like any lessons were learned out of what we went through with the pandemic the first time. And there's just a real disconnect when America is hearing on what they should do with their health from a politician, from the President of the United States in this case. And it would be one thing if it was from a physician that was

actually treating COVID patients, But this is the wrong way to go. And the Advisory Committee on Immunization they're going to vote in mid September on whether to recommend the updated COVID nineteen vaccine. And I don't even understand that a vote. It should be medical decision or draw a conclusion and base it on data and a life threatening emergency, and then it should be carried down to you

and your doctor to have that conversation. But the President, he said he's going to ask for additional funding for this Tentatively it's recommended that it will likely be recommended. Everybody get it, no matter whether they've gotten it before not. That sounds like a lot of word salad and certainly not assuring to patients. So discussion of mandating another vaccine for every American before it's even been approved

doesn't seem to fall in line very much. And you know, the same people that are always talking about being in favor of choice don't seem to be in favor of choice when it comes to some of these vaccines, and the data doesn't speak to it. You know, I think that we need a little more bedside manner coming from our public health officials, and it needs to come from public health officials and preferably ones that are actually treating patients and congressmen.

According to a cable news show this morning, ninety seven percent of us this does not include a legal aliens or never tested, but ninety seven percent of American people either have gotten COVID nineteen recovered and have the antibodies, or have had numerous boosters and vaccines. And so is there any sense, uh that if you've already been vaccine up, you don't have to get it at all, or is that going to be mandated anyway? Well, there are

variants, and that's something to be considered by and large. As your immune system kicked in, and I can tell you that. At one point I was scheduled to go to Germany. They said, you have to have a booster before you go, And I said, wouldn't it be good to take a look at my antibodies and T cells because I've been vaccinated and I've had COVID, So why is that not being considered? So I did get tested. A strong number for the antibodies was forty. My number was eight hundred

and twenty one. These are the types of conversations it should be taking place with doctors, and doctors need to be provided with data that they can trust. And so all these things coming from the top really need a lot of explaining, and they don't, and no one gets it. And that's what makes it very difficult and has greatly diminished the trust in our public health system across America. Did you have to get the vaccine boost or anyway, even

though you're twenty times with your T cells? Did you have to get it anyway to go to Germany? Yes? And you know you run the risk of a hyperobune response when you have too much. And again, these are conversations that should be had with your doctor, and instead you you have school

boards making decisions. You have all types of decisions being made by people that are not your physician, who don't know you and don't understand necessarily your concerns with underlying conditions that you may that you may already have, or you may be worried about, such as myocarditis. And young people, you know, if they're if they're at low risk of getting COVID or at least having deleterious effects from it, why do they have to get vaccinated and take the risk

of myocarditis that may be out there. And again, that's a conversation to have with your doctor. And of course I've seen numerous studies on masking. The masking, according to Lancet and other journals, is very limited usages and ninety fives gives off carcinogens CO two build up, especially in pregnant women. To have a six or seven year old, you have children of tender age, to ask them to wear a mask to play in the playground or go

into school is utterly ridiculous. And I think Faucci got it right in the beginning when he said the mask don't work unless it's in an operating room setting, and that's not the way people live their lives, so we'll see what happens there. Secondly, one of the cable news shows this morning had a report on one hundred and eighty seven Afghan women had made their way out of Afghanistan. They were stuck out by a charity organization, and they're now in

the United States. Those are the people that we need to bring to this country because of how we left them high and dry. And I don't know if you saw the report, but it's sad that having spent twenty some years in Afghanistan, to the tune of several thousand lives, hundreds of thousands of Afghan lies, billions of dollars, things are the same way now is they

were twenty five years ago. Having served in the military, when you see those reports, what comes to your mind, Well, it's just it's devastating, without without a doubt. I didn't serve in Afghanistan, although I went over there as a member of Congress at the height of things. And I can tell you that I supported two of my interpreters that are now in the United States and ones of cardiologists at Ohio State, the others doing family practice

in Texas. And these are amazing people, and we left so many behind. Never did I think that we would do that, And we passed bills bipartisan to expedite the process to help people get out, especially those that have helped us. But the women that we see, they're defenseless in this situation. And I'm so grateful that people were able to get them out. But it's really said. They have made so many gains as far as where they could stand in society, with education and everything else, and now it's all

being torn down. And why Because the President the United States wanted to have us out of there by a certain date, not by certain terms, but by a certain date. We left our equipment behind, and we left our friends behind. We left those that served us behind when we were promised promising them that they could come to America. And you should see the movie The Covenant, and that's based on a true story of a guy who went back to help a guy get out, that worked to help him and saved his

life through the battles. This is a mess, and these are types of things that have hurt morale within our military. And I think Bill is one of the reasons that our recruiting is down, no question, because why joined the military that is racist, that is sexist, defending a country not worth defending. Some of the saddest moments about a year ago, maybe it was in front of one of your committees where Secretary Austin and Mark Milly, Chairman

of the Joint Chiefs. So the two biggest problems face America today is number one climate change and number two white supremacy. And I'm looking at that and I'm thinking, you gotta be kidding me, But why would you want to fight and die for a country that is a white supremacists or everywhere? And climate change is the biggest issue happening in the world. Was is a bunch of bs? And I know Millie's going out the door now, but let's

face it. Colin Powell said that the military is the greatest organization in the world to have persons of different races, different genders or whatever it might be, male, female or otherwise, to go to the military work together with one goal. And the goal should not be climate change identification and climate change mitigation. I mean, that's not the purpose of the military, but that's

what we're being told. And in the South, I had a guest on a week ago, a disproportionate number of Southerners joined the military, and they're not doing it anymore because of the tearing down of things like the Reconciliation Monument at Arlington and change in the name of military basis. And also it's gone woke. The military goes woke, it feeds into the hands of our enemies,

and that's a serious matter. And of course you joined about twenty five years ago, and which was great as a doctor to join the military, special special calling. And that military is not even close to this military now, No, it's not. Why, well, it really isn't you know. When I joined the nineteen ninety eight i joined because our country kept getting attacked. Bill Clinton was president of United States. I didn't vote for Bill Clinton, but I'm glad to live in a country where we get to elect

our leaders. And that's who America elected, and he was a commander in chief. The feeling is much different today. And I just retired in December, so after twenty five years, and I can tell you the military I joined in the one that I served with in Iraq for a year, we were void of all those complications. And I feel sorry for people that don't understand what it's like to not have any prejudice and where things are merit based.

And it occurred to me and somebody mentioned to me that race didn't matter in the military, that as chief of surgery, had fifteen people underneath me, and I was in Caucasian, and I never thought about it because all that mattered is that we were all Americans. And when they do these types of things, it splinters us. And I hear it today from members in the military. And before I got out, I'm getting, you know,

emails on the new transgender policy and this and that. And I talked to reservists in our area and guardsmen, and they said, we are getting flooded with this type of stuff and having to sit through lectures on this stuff rather than training for our missions. And that's that's a real problem, and that brings people down. And so when it's time to reenlist, they don't want to. They want to move on. And that's not the organization they signed

up for. They signed up for one where there was no affirmative action, where there was no prejudice, no bias. And I can tell you Bill, you know, when I got elected to Congress the first time, several people from my unit that served with me and under me of color, et cetera. Probably not even Republicans came to my swearing in because that's how we were as Americans. We were Americans first, and so all this stuff just

creates tremendous division. And don't even get me going on climate change. There was just a report out from sixteen hundred scientists that really pointed out, if you're based on data, there is no climate change crisis that we have to deal with, but we have to accommodate to whatever the weather is and whatever it happens to be. So these are real problems for our military right now today, and I would I think the mandate has had a terribly negative effect

and make the mandate to get a vaccine that's controversial. You understand, when you join the military, if you're going to travel places where there's high risk of diseases, you get vaccinated for those diseases. And you have your diseases that the vaccines for them have been proven over a long period time. No one ever argued that that was not a concern. But this is a controverse without a doubt, there are still unanswered questions, adverse events and who really

needs to get vaccinated and why they need to get vaccinated. And you put out a mandate without any medical explanation or conversation with the doctor, and that's a turn off to Americans. We don't do well with because I said so, well, you know, pollution is one thing, climate change is another. And the climate change is every three months, whether we like it or not. We have seasons. And secondly, greenland was called greenland because it was green. Now it's an ice shelf. And we go through this.

But when you get lots of billions of dollars involved, so the liberals democrats can hand out to their friends and university types lots of money. And secondly, it means government control of your life. The liberals go nuts when you talk about handing out money and control of your life. And that is climate change. And right now CO two emissions are down every year because our unleaded vehicles drive better. Three percent worldwide we have windmills and solar three percent.

The other ninety seven percent fossil fuels. The only way to come out of poverty in Africa and Asia is to use fossil fuels and use them properly. We're all against pollution, none of us, I, no one I know, believes that human beings can actually materially affect climate change, and every time there's a hurricane or of fire. That's another example for the mainstream media to go nuts as if these things are unique. And before I let you go,

one other issue, that is the health of Mitch McConnell. A couple of days, a few days ago, he froze up again. And then you had President Joe Biden, who is going downhill mentally fast. You got Senator Diane Feinstein who's in a wheelchair and she's literally in a guardianship, who can't manage your own affairs. And then you got Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania,

who is not mentally alert. When you run around the Congress and interact with some of these individuals in their eighties and have serious problems, first of all, give me your take on Senator McConnell and also Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, John Fetterman, etc. Well, first of all, in the House, we don't have as much of that. We're a little less aged in the House, but it's certainly a concern. And you know, I look at the situation we see with our president and he's clearly in decline,

and that's just and that is part of aging. And we've all seen it with members of our family, and I saw it with patients and this and the signs are all there. The problem I have with a lot of this is the lack of recognition of it by his peers and by the people, and his party especially. They want to act like nothing's wrong, and clearly

it is. You know, when I look at miss McConnell, what I'm thinking about is I hope whatever's going on, that he's getting the care that he properly would need to diagnose whatever's taking place and be treated for it. And I can't give you a definitive diagnosis. I've talked to some other doctors. We have some ideas, but I don't want to make conjecture on that. I just hope that he's getting the care that he needs. And you know, that really is the same point with with Diane Feinstein and Fetterman,

is it? Is it really where they should be at this point? And I know my wife said, if I ever see you like that, there's not a chance we're going to continue to have you go out there and try to lead the country when you're not all together there at this time, and I think that the humane side of us should be taking a look at all of that and instead of the political side too often just trying to ignore these

things for the sake of political power. Now, lastly, there was a report on NEWSMACC and at about a month some bombshell's gonna be dropped Joe Biden, some tape recording or whatever. Do you have any particularized knowledge about how far along the bribery scandals are the bags of cash that were handed out by Hunter Biden to family members and the bag of cocaine in the White House. They couldn't locate who in that world, I mean, who around us has

been a cocaine head? How about that guy right over there? But nonetheless, this rumors and conservative media that there's some bombshell coming out about Joe Biden. What can you tell us about out if anything. Well, I don't really have anything on that, and I never want to talk about something too much until it's actually been confirmed. But we've confirmed so many things that have come forward. The millions of dollars that have gone to the Biden family from

foreign countries, and why is that? And there's just so much that should raise tremendous concern. And the concern I have is why is no one else interested in the mainstream media? Why has it just nothing to see here? Hunter is a good boy. Well, there's a lot of questions to be raised, and seems to me we have a government that's willing to put those things aside if you're from a certain party or part of a certain families.

And that's a problem that we have within our agencies and with our government right now. But I say James Comer and the Oversight Committee have done a great job. And when you have the gabbles and you can get answers to your questions like we've been doing on the Selex subcommittee on COVID, you find an awful lot about people that is nefarious and doesn't look right, and it's not fair to the American people. We have the responsibility in Congress to provide oversight.

We're the representatives of the people. This is a government of the people, or it used to be, and we want to make sure that we're running the country and not agencies of unelected people that seem to be able to manipulate things to their own political advantage rather than actually acting out of honesty and truth and justice. I'm looking at a coffee mug that says truth, justice and the American way bred are winstrip is right there, right right there.

I'm looking at a coffee mug, and that's the goal. We often fall short, but that's the goal. Congressman brad Winstrop, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. It's always a pleasure. Bill. Thank you all. Let's continue with more and later on. We've scheduled an interview with Jim Scott about his ALS diagnosis. That's coming up later our News Radio. Seven hundred year Annheuser Busch and there are sixty five thousand people

who helped bring every one of our beers to life. I had a little bit of a different presentation at this minute, but I had some shocking news last night about Jim Scott, the living legend who has contracted Luke Eirik's disease ALS. I got a text from Tony Bender. Did you see on Facebook that Jim Scott announced publicly that he has ALS? And I would think the

main reason he's doing that publicly is to benefit others and not him. One of the hallmarks of Jim Scott's career is that he thought of others a lot more than he ever thought of himself, which is a rarity in this business. And you may recall many years ago someone put together a list of the greatest radio personalities of all time, and Jim Scott led the list because he came here in nineteen sixty eight and March or April he was on SAI.

And I can recall as a student Xavier, living at home, I would listen to Jim Scott on SAI along with Ron Brittain and Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream and the great Dave Reinhardt, whose son, Scott Reinhart his operation manager today. And that's my first introduction to Jim Scott. I had not formerly met him though, until nineteen eighty four. And in nineteen eighty four he was scheduled to go to work at ninety four point one is the Morning

Guy. And at that point Randy Michaels and Bobby Lawrence were big time in a buying local and other radio stations, and just as circumstance would haven't that Jim Scott radio station ninety four point one was purchased by Randy Michaels and Bobby Lawrence on the day that Jim Scott was scheduled to appear there for the first

time. So he had already spent from nineteen sixty eight to nine eighty four, what sixteen years and one or two other stations before he came to ninety four point one, And so Randy Michaels made the call to Jim Scott that you now worked for us, we're going to move you to seven hundred W LW, which he said great. And so one afternoon down at three East fourth Street, Jim Scott walked in with Randy Michaels in front of him to introduce Jim Scott around. And that was in nineteen eighty four, and at

that point here the morning man was Gary Burbank. Of course, Gary's comedic brilliance could best be exhibited during the day in the afternoon when he had more time to put boots the bits together with Doc Wolf, etc. And so it lined up in nineteen eighty four that Jim Scott would do mornings that at that point still Randy Michaels and Alan Gartner were doing mid days, and the afternoon noon was held down by Gary Burbank and the crew, and then at

night was six o'clock was Bob Trumpy, at nine to one was yours truly. Then one to six am was Lynn Gladhill. So that ideation quickly changed when the truck and Bozo shows up. The truck and Bozo showed up a few months later and we had the lineup in place, which was in the morning, Jim Scott the anchor, in fact, he would break the news, and then Mike McConnell, and then I had moved to twelve to three by that point we comment on the news, and then Gary Burbank three to

six would make us laugh about the news, and then six o'clock. By that time that it rolled around, Chris Collinsworth and Andy Furman were here, and then nine o'clock Scott Sloan and some others including Rocky Bohman showed up sometime

about fifteen or twenty years ago. And the beat goes on. One thing about Jim Scott that I have, by the way, he's coming to you and I in about twenty five minutes Jim Scott, I talked to him off the air, and he's gonna come and talk about als and talk about a message to the radio listeners at one oh five today, that's about what about twenty three minutes from now. And so the one great thing I respected about Jim Scott he was able to do what he did angering no one in the

process. There was not no one negative about Jim Scott. There's a lot of negativity when it comes to me, or when it comes to Mike McConnell, or when it comes to Scott sloan, or it comes to Gary Jeff Walker, and some people don't like it, but who doesn't like Jim Scott. And the hallmark of his career, which at this station lasted about thirty

five years, The hallmark was that he gave to others. He contracted polio as a child, fortunately a rather mild case, but it continue to affect him for the rest of his life and he always I can recall the bell ringing and the walks, whether it was cancer or heart disease, or the Salvation Army or now als. Jim Scott wants to use his body as a vessel to increase awareness about Luke Garrick's disease, and there's been some minor improvements.

I know. Shari Poalolo of Channel five has been concerned about this issue for a while because she had done stories and maybe members of her family have been affected. But I texted with her and later on she may have on Jim Scott on Channel five to talk about what's going to happen. On Sunday, September the seventeenth at went in woods Park at nine thirty am, and Jim Scott wants to use the time remaining in his life and hopefully it's long.

This is a tough one. This was like pancreatic cancer. This is a tough one. Letting can use it in service to others. So he was selected about ten years ago as the top radio personality of all time and Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky. He lives in Indiana, and so in the heyday, we had Jim Scott living in Indiana, and we had Gary Burbank who

lived in Kentucky. I was born in Kentucky and raised in Cincinnati. And we had Randy Michaels from thither and fro and some others, and so we covered the Try State and we did it in a way that I think was the greatest singular radio station in the history of the United States of America was right here and Jim Scott was that anchor, and of course he retired like in twenty seventeen, and at that point he had decided he wanted to spend

more time with Donna, more time doing other stuff. He's now eighty years old, so six years ago he would have been seventy four. And he said, I simply wanted to do other things, and his life would have it. Mike McConnell was free of his contract on g N in Chicago, So at that point Mike McConnell was able to be slid into the morning spot and we just kept on keeping on, which is incredible, and I think at this point we're going to keep on keeping on for a long period of

time. So I spoke to him off the air. I want to be I want to do what Jim Scott wants to be done. Whatever Jim Scott says to do, that's what we're gonna do. When he wanted to come on today at one o'clock and to talk to you and about what his journey's like with als, and we'll see where that goes, he said, I'm

not asking you to pledge money from my team. He read on Facebook I'm just going to join a group, make my own contribution, and ask other people to consider walking with us. And he said, you don't have to have als or even know someone with the disease to participate in the walk. He said on Facebook high I'm Jim Scott. I hope you will take this time to read this Facebook posting. It's something that I've been thinking about for quite a while, and now it's time to share some news with you and

to ask for your help. When I first came to Cincinnati to do the morning show on the rock and roll station in thirteen sixty SAI, it was the spring of nineteen sixty eight. As I got to know my neighbors in Delhi and people throughout greater Cincinnati, I realized that I really liked this area and the people here are the ones that really convinced me to stay and not. Over the years, I've had a sincere connection to the people of Cincinnati. As the morning guy on SAI, I was like a pied piper.

Hundreds of listeners got pledges and we learned to walk the walk, and we learned to talk to talk. He also was one of the first organizations Jim Scott worked with the March of Dimes, and he said they picked the right guy from Arch of Dimes because in nineteen fifty four, I was twelve years old, I contracted polio and the March of Dimes really came through from my family. After immediate hospitalizations with the infectious stage of polio, I needed intense

rehab. The March of Dimes paid for me to go off and live away from my family for six months of rehabilitation and upstate New York. I was only twelve years old. The polio didn't kill me, but it knocked the heck out of my left hand and arm and my right leg. So when the Marchantdimes asked me to lead the organization a new five mile fundraising walking Cincinnati, I said, absolutely, I will do it. Science found a way

to prevent polio. Jim Scott went on to say, so it will not be wonderful if doctors and scientists can find a way now to defeat ALS. Since I've been living with this disease for a couple of years, I've been introduced to dozens and dozens of wonderful people also dealing with Luke Eric's disease disease ALS. We learned from each other not to give up hope, but to

keep on going. I go to an ALS support group once a month and recently learned about the annual ALS walk, which is on Sunday, September seventeenth at Winton Woods. I wouldn't note that Tony Bender indicates that in Boone County in a September the sixteenth. I'm not asking you for a pledge of money for my team. I've started a team. I'm just going to join the group and make my own contribution and ask other people to consider walking with us.

You don't have to have ALS to walk with us, but if you do, we'll meet that day and we won't have anything, we will have something in common. Jim Scott went on to say, I've had a wonderful life. I'm still having a wonderful life and I have I don't have any intention to check it out anytime soon. My walking abilities have changed fundamentally. I now use a cane. I name my cane Abel, my trustee. Able makes it possible for me to walk without falling, though I've done it

a few times. SAI and seven hundred WLW. I have probably know my voice LS affects the voice. That's the part that really irritates me. But you got to keep your sense of humor. I can still talk and if you're listening closely, you'll be able to understand me. It sounds like a Beatles song. Listen, let me whisper in your ear. The Walk to

Defeat Als is coming right up Sunday, September seventeenth. People are going to gather at nine thirty in the morning and I will give you a website to look into if you like to join the walk, make a donation, or just walk. It is als Ohio dot org. Als Ohio dot org. Don't have to have ALS or a close family member to be part of the walk. Thank you for reading this. I wasn't sure how I was going

to tell everybody what's going on with me. Close friends have noticed and I'm walking a bit slower and that my voice is not the same as it was before. I've told some people, and my wife Donna has been a rock. But it's time to open up to the listeners of seven hundred WLW and Walk to Defeat Als on Sunday, September the seventeenth of Wintonwoods. Facebook is like all the times I've gone to Fountain Square with a microphone to promote a

good call. In nineteen sixty eight, it was the March of Dimes. Now it's twenty twenty three and it's ALS. As I've said so many times on the radio, thanks for listening and thanks for reading my Facebook posting. So shall we say that hit like a thunderbolt here because many of us have not seen Jim Scott for a while and we did not know something was wrong.

But he related in one story that the symptoms began about two and a half or three years ago, which he largely ignored for about six months, and then he got a hold of doctor Dean Kariakas, a friend to his, who's, of course the great cardiologist at Christ and then the Association began to put Jim Scott in touch with the right people. And as I understand, in ALS is an exclusion diagnosis. There's no definitive test to say you have it, but you do various tests to make sure you don't have this

or that, and what remains is ALS. So he's been diagnosed. At last night he went public and he's going to be with you and I in about fifteen minutes, and we'll see where it goes, and I told him off the air, Jim Scott, I love you too many times, especially men have a hard time expressing emotion. And I think of my time here since nineteen eighty three. He was always present, He was always available. If I had something going on or he had something going on. We spoke

off the air and we helped each other. There was a match set up at Kenwood Country Club under the auspices of the great Gil Gussweiler had pro there for about twenty five or thirty years, in which Jim Scott would play me in golf and somehow the winner I had to make a donation, or maybe

the loser made a donation, and I more than happily did it. I can't tell you how many hours Jim Scott would spend outside or inside Kroger stores ringing the bell for the Salvation Army and him at a time when Polio was defeated the March of Dimes which began with FDR and Jim Scott picked up the

banner in nineteen sixty eight, and now Polio largely does not exist. We look forward to the day, maybe because of AI and all the financial contributions we can say at some point that Leuke Garrick's disease no longer exist, must like we can say with polio. So let's take a short break. When we continue, Jim Scott will be here at one oh seven pm today to talk about the diagnosis and what the future holds for him as we continue to move on. I would also note that he loves the Reds. He was

often a fixture in the Finlay market parade. The Reds are not playing today. I said on August first, they were in first place, and now they're a game and a half out of the wild card. So they've gone through the ten game road trip on the Left coast five and five, which is pretty good. But tomorrow's game at one oh five first pitch, then in the evening sixty and then the game Saturday and Sunday against the Cubs are bigger than Montana. Nothing would excite Jim Scott more than for the Reds to

get into the playoffs and make a deep run. So stay tuned with that interview, and you might want to tell family and friends to listen up because many times this disease affects someone's ability to speak. We're gonna get in with

Jim Scott, he said, ask me any questions you want. I want to publicize the fact that Jim Scott has ALS twelve fifty five, home of your reds News Radio, seven hundred WT of with the brilliance of us super computer, the charm of Dianesis, and the livability of a golden retriever. Pup, Mike McConnelly shore as you start your day, informed, enthused, and happy as a clam. That makes me feel good, one of those

really suckers. Let's all feel good together, Mike. Make sure you get the latest news, weather, traffic, sports, and is legendary McConnell charisma and most importantly a healthy dozen fu and let Mike McConnell will make your morning superb Tomorrow morning at five long, seven hundred w l W you know, Western and Southern is teamed up with iHeart Media to host one of the biggest parties of the year on the Ohio River, the forty seventh Annual Riverfest,

with one of the greatest fireworks display anywhere in the world. The highlight of the event will be the thrilling Western and Southern w eb and fireworks starting at nine oh five pm. We're gonna have a weekend of great entertainment lined up for the twenty twenty three Western and Southern Fireworks the Regatta. The Rubber Duck

Regatta takes place at the Purple People Bridge in the afternoon. It supports the Free Store Food Bank, a local organization that supports food insecurity and children in the area. Western and Southern is committed under the leadership of John Barrett, You're making Cincinnati the best place to live, work, enjoy life in a

thrive. Win your way to our twenty twenty three I Heeartweeal Music Festival, and you'll be there T Mobile Arena here in Las Vegas expected als and many many years ago, I think it's been ten or fifteen years someone put together the greatest radio personalities of all time in the Try State, and there was a consensus that number one was Jim Scott. He is and he retired in twenty seventeen, the greatest of all time, having spent almost fifty years in

radio, and I think about thirty five years here. I can recall in nineteen sixty eight going back and forth to Xavier, and I was listening to Jim Scott almost every morning on SAI and Jim Scott, welcome to your radio station, and welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Jim, first of all, I left him. We spoke off the year briefly about the fact that that I love you and men don't say that enough to each other, and the standards that you said in broadcasting are unbridled. That you're the greatest

radio personality of all time. And I guess the first question might be why did Jim Scott to go public with this last night on Facebook. Well, it had to do with an opportunity really in that there's going to be a walk Tony benders aware of these walks. There's going to be a walk to defeat als on Sunday, September seventeen at Wentwoods Park. And I'll give you the website, but people learn to learn a little bit more about it. One of the things about this stupid disease, stupid, nasty use a lot

of terms I can't use in the radio. But for a lot of people it affects your voice, which really irritates me. As you would understand. And so you can tell the difference in my voice right now. It's I lost some of the range and it sounds gravelly. So but other than that, I can still walk. I'm using a cane now. It's just smart. I mean, I've already fallen down a few times, so this reduces the chance of falling, and so I'm looking forward to this walk and just

get it over with. As far as you know, you have something like this happen, you start to share it with family, and then some close friends and and then I knew about a week or so ago Willie. We both love golf. I've played it since I was a kid. But I've completely lost my left side. My hand. My left leg works, thank goodness, but my hand on my arm it just hangs down. So to

continue to play golf, I had to go one armed. So God bless the men from Elder they've got don't edit this, but they've got a league they called the Sons of Pitches, like a pitching wedge. They play once a week on Wednesday morning. And so I've been playing with them a little bit last year and quite a bit almost every week this year, and I just love it and they're just great guys, and they really helped me out and it's fun to keep playing. And so about a week or so ago,

I shared it with them. I thought I'd played golf with all twenty four members of this group. They helped me out. It's obvious I've got an issue. So I explained it to them, and I thought, let's just get it out there and tied in with promoting the walk YEP. And as I understand it, Jim Scott, this is a diagnosis of exclusion. By that, I mean there's not like a test to take a blood test or whatever, and they say, okay, you identified that this is a

diagnosis of exclusion. When did you first start having symptoms and what were your concerns at that point. Has it been a few months, as it been a year? When did it it's been a couple of years. In the fall of twenty twenty, I was playing golf and I just realized that I seemed to be losing some strength on the left side. If you're a right hand to Godfrey, we get our power from that pool on the left side,

you know. And so I went to it used to a friend of ours, doctor Kerry Yakis, and I said, can you recommend somebody? So I finally got an appointment with a neurologist that you see, doctor Jonathan Smith. And that was in March of two thousand and twenty one, and I wasn't really having any major problems at that point. And ironically, Bill, he was on April first, two thousand twenty one, and it was April Full's Day and it was opening day for the Reds. So I participated

in the early market opening day grade. And then I had already seen him a week before and he did a bunch of testing, and so then he said, well, Jim, I'm sorry to tell you, but I think you have als. And I thought to myself, he had to be kidney. It's opening day, it's April for you're telling me I've got a disease named after a ball player and struck me as bizarre. So that was a funny edge to all of this. You just have to look through that fielder

of humor. And he said, well, I'm sorry to tell you that I'm going to refer you to another doctor. Here's a name, if you ever meet this man, God bless him. His name is doctor Robert Neil, and he's the ALS expert around here. Is there a medication I can recall? I know Shari Paalolo has done a lot of reporting on LS and we've come a long way, I would imagine. But when you talk to doctor Neil and others, what do they say is the medical journey you're going

to be on? Oh? Well, first of all, I thought encouraged when he said first he said, I don't know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. So we did tests in three months later her for well, actually a year later, in the spring of two twenty two, I was officially diagnosed with it. So he did say, it's really coming on pretty slow for you, Jim. So he said, that's good news. He said, I expect you to be around a long time. So as an attorney, could I retain you in case it turned out to be bum

advice? Yes you can. We'll do something as far as as far as the your lovely wife, Donna. Howis many times when we guys have difficulties, we want to keep it secret, don't tell people. We want to ignore it, don't want to go to the doctor, and I would imagine Donna has been a living saint. She has been for many years, and accepting that true, that's true. Yeah, she's a great wife, and she's certainly as a person that helps me the most getting when I wake up

in the morning until I finally go to bed. Yeah, it's wonderful. And she had some mixed feelings about it, but I said, you know, I think it's time enough people know. Back to that bit about the golf guys about a week or so ago, I shared with them I've got it, and I thought, I'm starting to tell quite a few people here, so why don't we get it out. And when I became aware of this walk, which I intend to be part of, I thought, it's

obvious. You know, we were in broadcasting and think about marketing and how you can sell something. Well, I'm a pretty good salesman. I can certainly sell the benefits of this walk, which is which is the seventeenth Jim

Scott Sunday, two weeks from this coming Sunday. I think in Boone County it might be Saturday, the Saturday the sixteenth, but we're going to put that on the website and Jim Scott, What message do you want to give to the hundreds of thousands of people in the Try State that woke up with you every morning just by happenstance. About a week or so ago, on YouTube, I saw this video of Jim Scott signing off, you know, I think it was twenty seventeen. Yeah, it's I go to YouTube,

but there's a sign off video of Jim Scott about a week ago. And I saw it and I replayed it a couple of times, looked at us and that's great. That's the way, that's the way to do it. It's been about six years. You've been dealing with these issues of als for about three years now. But what message would you like to give to the hundreds of thousands of people that you woke up with every morning and got them to work? Get up, get to work? What message you want to

give to the listeners people? I think I already know this, but life is a challenge, and we get challenges every day, and I guess of you them as opportunities. I used to when I would meet people, Bill, I would say, please listen to me on the radio. Now I look for people that need an audience, so I start up conversations with anybody and everybody, and you talk to somebody and just listen. Then you talk

about sparking joy and that's pretty easy to do it understand the concept. So I'm not trying to be out of I can't hear the term unrealistic about this. I mean, I know what I got and I know it's changing my voices. I can still be understood, I think, and especially person to person. So you don't give up. I mean a lot of people have issues in their life and you don't give up, and you share it.

I think. I know I'm going to get a lot of support. Thank you for calling me, and was about time he told me, I love you willing well. Going back a long time, I can recall in nineteen eighty four when you were at your first day of work was at ninety four point one, I think, and Randy Michaels and Bobby Lawrence had purchased or bought ninety four point one, and instead of you working there, you were the missing link and the missing piece too, I think, the greatest radio

station in this country. And when you were plugged into the morning slot for the next thirty five years, that lineup was like the big red machine as far as radio was concerned, and you were the anchor because you were the guy that I would listened to, taught me radio by your example. And I can't think of all the thousands and thousands of people that have been benefited by Jim Scott's involvement in so many charities, Salvation Army to all the rest.

And I know that everyone here wishes you the best. You're a living legend. Anything that we can do to help you, we're going to do. And once again, Jim Scott, I love you, and you will not walk alone in this journey. Thank you. Will keep up the good radio. You haven't missed the beat. I hear McConnell in the morning. I slept in a little bit this morning and I missed it. I got a note from a friend that said, my kids and nice things to say.

So I appreciate that. Well, any anything I can help you with, Willie let me go. I'll let you know. But all the love you gave is going to be returned. Thank you. I think you're right. I appreciate it. Okay, So Sunday, September seventeen, I think around nine thirty people get together and then we walk a couple of miles and then I'll go get a beer someplace. Jim Scott, thank you and and I wish you and yours nothing but the best. You're courageous and you're the

definition of a great radio talk show host. And thank you this afternoon for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Jim, Thank you, Willie go Red. Yeah, they're gonna win win a double dip tomorrow. Thank you, Jim. Okay your reaction. Jim Scott is going public with the fact that he has Luke Garry's disease, and all of those that he's helped for the past fifty years, I think we'll come out to help him.

Courageous individual well known Frank Sybell of ACR gun Night pulls and sent me a quick note saying

that he's in tears listening to Jim and Jim is eighty years old. He said he's lived a good life and much like the legendary Simon Leese, Sheriff Simon Lees He's told friends and family members he's good to go, and I would anticipate that Jim Scott, who largely defeated polio, it's going the same attitude when it comes to ALS, and that is, let's raise some money necessary to hopefully solve a problem that is certainly fixable, and that down the

road. That's a tough diagnosis all of us. I'm sure it's true in your case. Wonder as you get older, how's it going to end? How's the transition going to take place? Is there a heaven? Is there a hell? Maybe purgatory? How does my life end? Because father time is undefeated, untied, unscored on. Hopefully at the end of one's life you can live it as well as Jim has lived his understands he might have

a year or two left, who knows, maybe more. I have a text here from a great lady in the Westchester area that says that there's a woman who's had ALS now for almost twenty years and she's still fighting in and living her life and doing quite well. Thank you. And so yes, there is a way in a sense out of it. I don't want to give out her last name, but she says that first name is Kim and that to listening you speak about Jim Scott, I two have always loved him,

and now my deceased mom adored him. Of a wonderful friend named Lorie Carrie who lives near me in Westchester. She's an incredible woman who was diagnosed with ALS nineteen plus years ago. This is her twentieth year walking in Wynton Woods to defeat a ls SO. And there was another woman I'm aware of that lived twenty years with ALS. So you don't know if Jim Scott is a day, a week, a month, a year, five years, ten years, or twenty years, don't know. But I know he will

fight this like a warrior poet. I know he's gonna have moments of pleasure and a lot of moments of pain and uncertainty. And I would think Jim is concerned, especially about his lovely wife Donna and his family and how they're going to deal with it. But at the end of the day, much as he overcame polio as a twelve year old boy, I think he'll make

the most of this, live out a long and productive life. But Jim Scott, I am certain that those in the tri State who listen to you and receive such support and love from you over the years will pay it back. And it all begins on September the seventeenth, Wynton Woods for the ls Walk, which I know many here will be involved in.

The changing of attitude toward marijuana with the one thirty report, I'm Jack Crumley breaking Now. Dozens of states already allow the consumption of marijuana in some way under certain circumstances. Now, federal leaders are considering moving pot into a lower risk category. ABC's Elizabeth Shoalza has more. This would be a big change that would ease federal restrictions on marijuana. Currently, it's classified as a

Schedule one controlled substance. That's the same category as some of the most dangerous drugs with no accepted medical use, like heroin or LSD. But the Health and Human Services Department is now reportedly asking to reclassify marijuana as a lower risk Schedule three drug the same category as ketamine or testosterone. The state of Kentucky

recently has been moving toward legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes. That's already legal in Ohio, and voters in the Buckeye State are now going to decide a ballot issue this November which would legalize pot for recreational purposes.

They had no more road trips from Hell, No, I don't. I don't think they crossed the Mississippi for the rest of the season except for well,

Minnesota comes here. I don't think they crossed the I think they're in the Eastern time zone the rest of the month in September, I believe. If I'm not, if i'm I mean they go to Detroit and New York, Minnesota comes here. I think they go to Cleveland and the season So I'm just saying it. I don't think that the road trips from you know where are over with. See this one, this was like this was like National Geographic the one they were just on. They went over fifty four hundred miles

of baseball the past week and a half and one five and five. Correct, pretty good. Well they have to go to Detroit, right, gotta go to the Mets. Yeah, then they have to go to Cleveland. Well that's not bad. That's not bad, not bad at all, not bad. We'll take that. Yes, So they're only one out of the wild Card and they play the Cup and they play the Cubs this weekend. They get that. You know, they're they're six out is it six? So six or seven? They take three or four or sweep the Cubs,

they're right back in it. Who can tell. I mean, they're five five on the road trip. You thought it was a disaster. Oh, they swept the Angels one one in Arizona, won one San Francisco. So they're five and five. You'll take that every day of the week, especially especially their history out west is not good. Not good. Nost No, Marty and Tracy talk about that that they don't do well in a ten game road trip. No, they don't. And that's the second one they've had.

Remember they went. They went out there a few weeks ago too, laite, right, So I don't know. I don't either, But Jim Scott, we wish him well like a warrior poet. Yes, he will the greatest morning personality of all time. Correct. I never heard that negative downside word from anybody. Nope. And if if, and if somebody needed help, organization needed help, Jim Scott was right there on the front row. Als, that's a tough opponent, Jim Scott announced last night. He

hasn't. And we'll see what happens when you have time. Listen to the interview. Second you're getting together some item for sports. But yes, sir, it was very very interesting to hear from Jim Scott in his own words about how it happened, why it happened, and nobody knows. Most get it in the thirties, forties and fifties. Correct, Jim Scott contracted, and he just turned eighty years old. Maybe he'll overcome it, Willie, because he's got that Grippo bag in his back. Keep it away, keep

it there with you, that's right, Crippo fright sake. We'll see what happens. But the Reds need pitching and that's they got two outfielders, so uh, you know, maybe what's sure we need outfield they're both pretty good ones and I guess they can play. They need pitching. Correct. So the Cubs are in town. I bet it's going to be packed and stacked. And then you got the John Barrett's at Western Southern WWB and fireworks on Sunday Sday, Sunday night at nine oh seven, the big bang. It

will be something else, no doubt about it. Forty seven years of that about that, that's a long time. Forty seven years of fireworks. So they have at least three or four more years and then see what happens. Correct, you signed another long term guaranteed contract. See what occurs at US Open going on? And the joker was here at the Ladies Golf coming to Kenwood Country Club. That's next week. Yeah, yeah, end Monday, Saturday and Sunday. Ye Reds are in town. Next four with the Cubs

So I just said, tell me when you find it. I have considered more than once changing my sec and Jim said to me, please play the cuts. I want to enjoy life. Yes, so right now he's listening, and he's enjoying life the best, the best he can with what he's got.

Hit the Music, Dave Hit the Music, and I have to two o'clock today Stephen malloy. This will not get media attention because it's against the narrative, but sixteen hundred climate scientists, including two Nobel Prize winners, have finally come out to say this thing is overblown. Pollution is a problem that's largely been solved. But let's face it, we don't need to go to windmills,

don't need to go to solar panels. That natural gas, fracking and oil is here for specific reasons that is to be used, and then it keeps in middle class lifestyle, in a middle class lifestyle. And then it used to be at when Trump was in office, ghastly, it was a dollar ninety a gallon. Now it's up to four dollars a gallon, going higher, we're told. And of course you can't use nuclear power, which is the greatest of ever, greatest of all time. So we're gonna f

Stephen malloyon. He's one of those scientists who has signed the accord calling for an end of the Green New Deal policies of Joe Biden because they don't work.

That is legendary radio host the Morning Man here on seven hundred WLLW for decades, Jim Scott speaking with our own Bill Cunningham this afternoon, talking about his struggles following a recent diagnosis of als. In a post last night on Facebook, Jim wrote about walking with a cane now and how he is doing what he can to fight back as part of the Walk to Defeat ALS that's coming up September seventeenth at Winton Woods. Details are

Two good weather expected means lots of boaters and a big responsibility for the Coastguard and local water rescue. They need people to navigate slowly, don't cause waves, drink less Sunday to make the Ohio

River at Cincinnati a safe place. There are designated places to anchor. There'll be one just east of the Robling Bridge on the Kentucky side, and there'll be two designated anchorages just east of the four seventy one bridge, one on the Ohio side and one on the Kentucky side. Lieutenant John White says you've got to be in the anchorage before the river closes at seven o'clock Sunday night

at the Coastguard office on River Road. Matt News Radio seven hundred W speaking of alcohol consumption it is worth noting among the rules and restrictions at Riverfest itself, on the Ohio side of the river, there is no alcohol consumption. The Department of Health and Human Services has recommended to the DA that marijuana should be reclassified as a Schedule three drug. The recommendation would significantly ease government restrictions

on marijuana. The Drug Enforcement Administration is now considering the reclassification, but it's not clear how soon the DA will act. If taken up, marijuana would be considered a Schedule three controlled substance like taylenol with codeine, instead of a Schedule one like heroin and LSD.

I've only cutting in the Great America and the Hurricane Adalia has gone through now and it's hell somewhere in the PISCIFFI we have wildfires happening in Greece. Historically unprecedented, is what I hear. Constraates, we have the wildfires in Maui about three weeks ago, which is all caused by climate change and not the activities of the utility companies allegedly.

So now you have Nobel Laureate's signing a declaration against Climate Emergency Narrative. Steve Malloy is a signatory to the declaration, is also a senior E and E Institute legal fellow and former Trump EPA transition member. To bring this to the forefront because the media we'll not talk about Nobel Laureates and almost two thousand sigentists signing a signatory saying yes we have climate change, but yes it happens every three months, and no, it's not an existential crisis, which Joe Biden

uses for two reasons. One is to seize control of the American economy and number two to hand out billions of dollars to his friends and family members. And once again, Steve malloy, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And if you watch some of the coverage of Adalia, the hurricane, and Maui, you would have thought the world is about to end. And so tell us what the Nobel laureates and the climate scientists are saying and why it's relevant

to the American people. All right, Bill, well, thanks for having me. So let's start with that petition signed by sixteen hundred climate scientists, including me. But of course top billing goes to the twenty twenty two Bill Prize winner in physics, John Klauser. Now, when people say that, you know people that people like me are deniers, or people like Klauser deniers. He's the twenty twenty two Nobel Prize winner in physics. He must know

something. Yeah, let let's just run through these disasters real quick. So we have right now, we've got Hurricane Idealia, which they called unprecedented.

He cited that, but of course it's not unprecedented. As a matter of fact, in eighteen ninety six, there was a hurricane that went straight the same way that Idalia did through the you know, the part of Florida called you know, the Big Bend. So it's it's not unprecedented, and you know the me He has been picking on the evak Ramaswami this week for saying

that fewer people were dying from climate disaster as well. Uh in the eighteen ninety six hurricane, of fifty people tragically died from Idalia, only two despite you know, there'd been a lot more people. So Viveka is right on that, and in fact, deaths from natural disasters have come way down over the past hundred years. We had the Maui wildfire as well. That wasn't

climate change either, that was just bad government. You know, the five years ago in Maui they had the same event happened, except that you know, the fire department was able to contain the blaze. This time it wasn't because well, of course there's there was no water in the fire hydrants. The people had no warning, the government had no plans. I mean, this is just a failure of government. You know, government's number one job is to keep us safe in Maui, they didn't, and instead they're trying

to blame climate change. Uh, you know, we had that hurricane in in California. Of course they were saying that was unprecedent. Of course, no, it's not. There had been another hurricane through nineteen thirty nine. You know, if you look at the word climate, there's the word lie embedded in it. And you can't talk about They can't talk about climate without lying. And what the motivation is financial Whenever in doubt, follow the money.

And so when you have the Inflationary Reduction Acts, the so called IRA, which wasn't about inflation, it's about climate change. They're handing out literally billions of dollars for studies and departments. They're giving money to the companies to utilities to shut down utilities. And one thing I've noted about today's climate is not historically warm. Every time the temperature is getting the nineties, it's all

man made climate change that we can somehow change, but just historically. Talk about whether or not today's climate is historically warm or not compared to going back a thousand years, Well, right, so if you go back a thousand years, a period called medieval optim it's you know, we don't know for sure, but it's thought to have been as warm, if not warmer than

today. You know, we have the satellite record which goes back to nineteen seventy nine, and yeah, July twenty twenty three was amous anomalously warmer than any other months. But August is going to be, you know, cooler. You know, we think this was caused by a Antarctic heat wave, which affected you know, the average global temperature calculation. Before the satellite era, we would never have known that these Antarctic heatwaves were happening. So,

you know, it has been warmer before. You know, everything that has happened this summer cannot be shown to be unprecedented. In fact, that's the term used. The Big Bend section of Florida used to have a lot fewer people in it than it does today. And when Florida had hurricanes in the nineteen thirties, they were ten percent of the population. Today right now there's

close there's thirty million Americans living in Florida. Anytime a hurricane hits Florida, it's going to hit a bunch of people and the big bend I think I think one or two people died, But but there's nothing unprecedented or unusual about that. And as far as the temperature, it's like one or two degrees

in the past one hundred years. To tell the American people, we're told it's the hottest July every history of the world going back one hundred thousand years, but this is the hottest July. Ever, how much of a joke is that? Well, I'm gonna explain it this way. So we are

told that every emission warms the planet. Okay, Well, since two thousand and fifteen, the last time there was Melnino, we've had five hundred billion tons of emissions and we have had no global warming since two thousand and fifteen. So how can that possibly be if every emission warms the planet. Well,

of course, it means that emissions don't warm the planet. You know, since since the nineteen h since nineteen eighty it has we think average global temperature has warmed a bit, and it only warms when we have these elninos. Elnino bumps up the temperature and it stays. There's kind of like a step function if you think about it. So you know, we're in an Elnino year right now. Don't be surprised if the temperature increases a little bit.

But it's all Nino. It's not emissions, right And in fact, according to the study I'm looking at, renewables are very cast around the world, about three percent right now are energy comes from windmills and from solar panels. And the states with a lot of renewables have higher expenses for utilities then states with natural gas and coal. And then secondly, the environmentalists are killing the environment off the coast because of what's happening to the whales and the dolphin.

The environmentalists are costing us lots of lives. Please explain. Yeah, so we've been lied to now for decades that wind and solar are cheaper, are going to be cheaper someday, won't be cheaper. They're not cheaper. They're not cheaper anywhere in the world. There is no place where wind and solar has reduced electricity prices. And the places where they use the most wind and solar, like California, Germany, these people have the highest electricity prices

right now. The Biden administration has green lighted all these offshore wind farms on the East coast. You know, fifty years ago the mental cry was saved the whales. Well, now we're killing the whales. The Biden administration has permitted these four and offshore companies to kill you know, dozens of whales, thousands of seals, thousands of porpoises and dolphins. And you know, like the Biden administration is helping to destroy the main lobster industry because of something called

the North Atlantic right whale. Well, the Biden Administration's only like three hundreds of these things in the wild. They think the Biden administration has permitted the offshore wind industry to kill not all the right whales, twice as many right whales are as are thought to exist. I mean, the whole thing is Orwellian. Why. I mean, I think environmentalists ought to be saving mammals,

especially those endangered. And one of the shocking things here, Steve malloy, is that there's not media attention to the fact that the environmentalists are killing the environment. They're killing whales and whether a CBS, NBC, ABC, in the New York Times, Washington Post, there's no reporting on this,

is there. Well, we're giving that media attention right now. Yeah, don't look at the mainstream media is in cahoots with uh, you know, the government, the federal government and all state governments and all the institutions and all the you know, the rent seekers that are trying to do wind and solar. It's this giant political economic conspiracy against the rest of us, and

we've got to push back. You know, I don't know. If you saw the Republican debate last week, you know vvak Ramaswamy wants to push back ron Santas pushed back everybody else. I don't know, I don't know. In fact, Lamaswamy said it was a hoax. As far as a green breakdown. Talk about the future. We have about about four thousand power plants, and these things are starting to break down. You cannot build nuclear, you can't build coal, can't build nuclear gas. Is there a coming green

breakdown? Well, of course, you know, the backbone of our national electricity grid is our coal plants, gas plants and nuclear plants. And the Biden administration wants to get rid of all our gas and nuclear plants. Our gas and coal plants in the twenty thirties, we're not building any nuclear plants. They want us to run on wind and solar, which is impossible.

It's not done anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, in China, you know, China is building an amount of coal power equal to the whole United States right now. You know, we are we are unilaterally disarming ourselves, destroying our grid. And at the same time as we're destroying our grid, we're burdening it with more demand. You know all these evs. Charging an EV at home is like running an air conditioner. So you know, if the Biden fantasies that we're all driving to evs, well we're going to need a

hell of a grid to do that. And they're destroying the grid. And so what happens when the middle class Americans joined these scientists and say enough is enough. Natural gas and coal and oil are great products. They're part of God's design. They're in the earth to be used by humankind in a good way without solution. At some point, do we reach critical mass and say enough is enough? Well, you know, we all have a chance to do that in November twenty twenty four, and it may very well be our

last chance, or one of our last chances. Voters have to take matters in their own hands and get rid of these people who want to go along with this climate hoax and the resolution. So many Americans number one say the costs are too high. That means every product brought to a store, department store has a gasoline oil cost fixed into that. And then the utility prices

are too high. The gasoline is too high, and inflation is everywhere, and interest rates or skyrocketing because of the Green New Deal, etc. That's passed by the Congress, and I wish Steve malloy, I guess as Americans, I know there's a better way. I'm against pollution, but this is not being against pollution. This is in favor of environmental extremism. Look, we're talking about emissions of plant food. It's invisible, it's odorless, and

it's plant food, and it has no effect on the climate. Look, whenever you hear a you know, the mainstream media or a climate you know, so called climate scientist or other activist alarmers talk about the climate, they're lying. Okay, nothing they have ever predicted as true, nothing they claim is true. You know, they have this whole political agenda which is to control our lives. They want to manage, manage us to deaths. Basically,

you know, the global population is eight billion. They want it down to two billion, and they're going to do it by restricting our energy supplies, restricting our food supplies, just making our lives poorer and you know, harder to live. It's amazing. The vak Rama Swami said it's a hoax. That's where andre and Mitchell and others in the mainstream media want after him hard because they do not want to debate. They want to tell you what

to think. And I think average Americans have got to start figuring this thing out. All the oil and natural gas comes from plants and from animals over the billions of years that we've been around, and they went into into the sediment and we're simply using what God put here to use. And there's nothing wrong with decaying plants or decaying animal carcasses. That is the heart and soul of oil. And that's why there's so much in the Middle East because it

was the bottom of an ocean. That's where the sand was at one point to Sahara Desert. And also the Arabian Peninsula was at the bottom of an ocean for one hundreds of millions a year, so all those plants and animals died, they went to the bottom of the ocean. The oceans went away, and now there's lots of oil in the Middle East, and so there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, So fossil fuels were the original you know, solar energy, right, this has been stored under ground. Fantastic.

Look, we burn fossil fuels cleanly. There's nobody that's harmed by fossil fuels or anything any emissions at all, you know, even in China where they don't even have missions controls. Is No one's health is harm no one's life shortened by fossil fuel emissions. Fossil fuels are you know, God's gift to us. They're a miracle. They're why we have gone from about less than a billion people one hundred and fifty years ago to more than eight billion today

and we can grow all the food we need. People are living longer, healthier, wealthier, freer lives than ever before, all because of fossil fuels. And of course what do the Greens want to do get rid of that? And why because they're communists. Well you said the word, and these are a leftist they're Marxist number one. They want to reward their friends. Look at Joe Biden, Hunter Biden with the bags of cash, and number two, they want control. They want to tell how many ounces of waters

in your toilet? What kind of light bulbs you can burn? And I'm thinking, come, no, that's right. And they learned through COVID that we can be cowed into submission. Yeah, no question. Yeah, So we look, we've got this big chance in November twenty twenty four. Whoever you vote for, you, if you vote for Joe Biden and the Democrats, you just get to get more of this and pretty soon you won't have any choice at all. All right, Steve molloy, how did the American

people? What website can I con direct them to? Okay, so my website is junk science dot com. But I spent an awful lot of time on Twitter at junk science junk science dot com. That's good stuff. And the truth will set us free. Reality matters, Facts exist, and not political diet tribes of leftists who want to seize control of the economy and pay off their friends. Steve Molloy, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show with your permission. Will do it again. Thank you,

Steve, Thanks for having me. Bill by bye. All right, let's continue three things. Average Americans they want low gasoline prices, they want low interest rates, and they want plentiful jobs and then want a clean environment. This isn't about pollution. This is about the leftist seizing control of your life and governing. And ultimately, within twenty years there's going to be smart thermostats and the government will control what the temperature is inside your house. Bill

Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred. That's amazing. The ancient Egyptians were advanced in many things, but perhaps not to dentistry. To dull a toothache, ancient Egyptians would smear paste made from a dead mouse on the tooth for bad toothaches, they put the entire dead mouse in their mouth. No, that's just as amazing.

Unfortunately. You know I met him, I met Pila years ago. You met at a soccer event. To forget what it was four but he came to town and had a press conference, and after the press conference, each he called up each and every member of the media and he had a he

had like a little picture of himself. I think it was because a certain brand of soccer ball. He said, what's your name? And I said Bill. He goes to Bill, all the best Pelee, next guy, Dennis Jansen, what's your name? Dennis to individually signed a picture. See. It was thought to point that he could not join have America joined Europe as right caring about soccer, But I think it's happening now. Oh well,

Well, it all depends too on what the Brewers do this weekend, you know. But they I mean they just reeled off nine in a row.

They're against some tough teams. Now, your comments on Jim Scott and making public that he has Luke Garrig's disease, Well, Jim Scott is the is the legend of radio here in Cincinnati. I don't care what you say. There's been some great people at this radio station, Willie and some others

Jerry Thomas, JFPO, others on the up and down the dial. But Jim Scott, I mean, if there, if there was an event in town, Jim Scott was there and he has probably raised I would guess trillions of dollars for various charities around around the area, some that he was involved with, probably some of he wasn't even And then what about ringing the bell at the Salvation Army. Red Kettle did that with him many times, but he put a bunch of time in to help others. Corrects fortunate, that's

correct. It's time for him to make a few withdrawals from the depositsies made amen, because I mean, if Jim Scott was on an event, it was packed, and I mean and raising money like crazy. So God bless him. All the best to Jim Scott, the legend himself. Go to the podcast about four o'clock, DAB, we'll have it up by then. You can listen to my interview with Jim Scott played at one oh six today

one oh six today for like fifteen minutes up now. Apparently it's up now, correct, So you can go to the station website good old Jim Scott and it's all right there under my podcast page.
