8-4-23 Bill Cunningham Show

All right, Billy cunning in the Grand American Welcome to Warriors. Friday afternoon in the Tri State Red's baseball kicks off about about five ten, five forty six ten to night. The Reds are licking their wounds. Is this the beginning of the end? For the end of the beginning? Are the Reds

broken? Do they have you buried their heart at Wrigley Field? As the Cups put up six hundred and fourteen runs in a four game series and the Reds get pumbled about the face and the head, they're limping back home. Will they even be awake by a first pitch tonight? I don't know. But the Washington Nationals are in town and they stink, so we'll see. It's kind of like one Ohio State plays Northwestern if they have a football team this year. So I have no idea what's going to happen tonight. But

there's a sense in reds Land that it's over. It's done. Only half a game out of first, but there's a sense in reds Land that it's done. It's over. Jack Windsor of the Ohio Press Network dot Com, how do you feel about the Reds chances now? Where are your Reds now listen. I there's a lot of baseball to be played, and that's why they play the games. So hey, you know, I'm not I'm not

ready to call it quits on them. You know, I grew up a Cleveland Indians fan, you know, the Major League baseball team formerly known as the Indians formerly and I don't say doing well too, But yeah, I don't watch them anymore, Willie, when they change the name, that was enough for me. So I pulled the plug on them. But the Red side, the Red Stockings, the Reds have done a phenomenal job this year. Who knows, Man, it only takes one game to get the mojo

back, and maybe that will happen. Well, I'm lower, I'm flatter than a pancake right now because watching and listening to the Reds the last four games, I can't name any of those cubs at all. I don't know who the hell they are except Ian Happ. Ian Happ should have been signed by the Reds out of UC. But mean, it's not good when they give up like forty six run setting all time records. Now they limp back home like the veterans coming back from Antietam. I mean, it's a bad

thing. But let's talk about politics and more. You sent me a column this morning about the funding of state Issue one, which the George Soros types are big time and the killing unborn babies big time. Explain what your research has shown about who's funding all these all these vote no on Issue one signs. Yeah, so this is the Issue one deal. That's the ballot measure aimed at requiring sixty percent state wide approval to amend the state constitution. Currently

we sit at fifty percent plus one. Now. Listen, campaigns on both sides of the issue have raised millions, both receiving dollars from out of state sources. However, recent disclosures show of vast majority raised by opponents came from outside Ohio and two point five million dollars is linked to a Swiss billionaire. And that's through kind of this umbrella establishment called Arabella Advisors. They're made up

of about five different funds. One of them is called the sixteen thirty Fund, and that sixteen thirty fund has dumped in two and a half million dollars to support and bolster the no vote push. And that fund helped fuel, by the way opposition to Breck Havanav's Supreme Court nomination. The fund has received two hundred and forty five million dollars from a guy who is a Swiss billionaire. His name is Hans Jorg Weiss. He was a significant source to funding

the twenty twenty efforts to replace then President Donald Trump with Joe Biden. So you're talking two hundred and forty five million dollars. Why would a Swiss billionaire care about killing Ohio babies? Well, what's the reason? Yeah, you know, that's a great question. Right. Opponents say that this August eight special election is all about abortion, and in fact, you've probably read about the Frank la Rose clip where he allegedly says, yes, there's one hundred

percent about abortion. Well, unfortunately most people in the press clip it there, they don't play through and talk about where he said. But it's also about radically raising minimum wage. It could be about initiatives that go forward that would hurt Ohio farmers, and that really, to me is what it's about.

The concern is that liberal groups are targeting or red states like Ohio to pass left wing policies that they cannot get otherwise through the state legislature and these ballot measures, I mean they cover things like pro family, pro parent, pro life, Second Amendment rights. People Scott at that Second Amendment right thing right. Well, last week Cleveland's liberal mayor made known his plans to use a ballot measure process to scale back Second Amendment rights when he made comments publicly

that we're video recorded. So for people like Weiss and people on the progressive left, this is really about making sure that that threshold is low so that they can come in and propose ballot measures, which, by the way, Willie don't pack, will be if they change the constitution. So they like that because this is a model the left can use in other red states.

And again why small businesses, farmers, Second Amendment advocates, pro family, proparent, pro life groups are rising up and saying you need to vote yes on issue one August eight, and then if it does take sixty percent to change our constitution, and then on the November it is a real abortion matter. This thing is simply about raising up to sixty percent. By the way, thirty two of the fifty states do not have the ability of citizens directly

to vote on the constitution of their state. That's sixty four percent of nobility at all, and the majority of the rest have more than fifty percent, because it should take more than fifty percent to change the constitution. To change the US constitution is sixty six percent. How sixty six percent seventy five percent of the states, and so the Swiss billion theirs don't care much about that.

And tell Tony Bender, my producer, he's got a question about whether or not a sixteen year old girl on a reproductive matter, wanting to become a boy or vice versa, could do that without parental consent. A lot on the radical left say that's not in this amendment. Explain why it is. Yeah, So a couple of things there. The first one I'll hit is this hypothetical situation of a sixteen year old girl who say, wants to identify as a boy and then start process whether it's imbibing drugs or maybe even

get that going under the knife at some point. The reality is that the amendment, the anti parent amendment, pro abortion amendment acl you driven, Planned parenthood driven, that measure on the ballot in November is so expansive and ambiguous, overly broad as constitutional attorneys tell me that it would take away parental rights when it comes to sex change surgeries and abortion. For my Essentially, they'd be able to do what they want to do because the language is so broad

it would afford them that right. It would also, according to people who oppose it, would allow abortion up to even birth, well beyond the point that kids can feel pain even if they're healthy, not just because it endangerous mom's life, but for matters as convenience. And so, yes, folks that I've talked to you said, this language is so overly broad it will rip parents rights away, it will put minors at risk, and it will

radically expand abortion access in the state of Ohio. But of course, Willie, you know it's not peat up that way by mainstream press out left. Now, I'd like to see a commercial that says, you have to understand that this amendment passes that your sixteen year old boy could identify as a girl. Go from Steve Stephanie, and parents are not notified because it's a reproductive

rights matter, and old Steve wants to have babies. And therefore the school and many urban districts have the policy and effect anyway, is that they begin hormonal therapy and treatment without parental consent and it's going on right now. And if you could advertise on this amendment, you know a partial birth abortion is permitted under this amendment. In fact, one is encouraged to rid your body of an unborn baby after nine months of in uterod development because it's going to

affect my financial health. This amendment talks about life or health of the mother, and health has been interpreted to mean financial health, emotional health, whatever health. And so a planned parent or doctor is going to say, Okay, this is a big business matter. We can kill babies, get paid for it, and secondly, we can do it up through birth. Yeah,

that's exactly right. And in fact, someone that I interviewed a little while back pointed out that there's a similar ballot measure in Florida, and it appears that planned parenthood caught that gap. They realize parents aren't going to put up with this. So in Florida they've actually added language to say that it does not rip away parents. Right, that's not the case in Ohio.

I think that they realize that voters are on to them. By the way, Willy, I want to point out one thing that we put in our story which is interesting to me. Going back to this Augustave special election. Groups publicly opposed to requiring a sixty percent threshold High Democratic Party, American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood, Legal Women Voters, National Association for the Advancement

of Colored People, teacher unions. Guess what all of them have the same sixty percent are larger sixty six to seventy five percent vote requirements to amend their own constitutions in by laws. Talk about hypocrisy, well, the autoimposed upon themselves the ability of members of their organization to change their by laws in constitution by a fifty percent vote, But of course they don't do that. And it's just amazing to me that a Swiss billionaire other than George Soros and his

son would spend this kind of money in Ohio. I guess, I guess we're like a test case. We're like, we're like, we're like, we're going to be an example of what's going to come to other states. If you can pass this in Ohio, you can pass it anywhere. So in a sense, we're guinea pigs being used by Swiss billionaires to change Ohio law. Yeah, and and by the way, George Soros is in on it. Too. Uh. You know, one of the funds that has

plugged money into Ohio has channeled money for Soros. So you have Soros and wife both and uh, you know, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention. The opposition has also received one point nine million dollars from the Kites Foundation, and the Tide Foundation has provided financial and other support to groups such as Black Lives Matter, of Global Network, and Planned Parenthole. So this is

not just about protecting the state constitution toward Republicans. The fact that eight out of ten are from out of state donors and twelve million of fourteen point eight million comes from out of state massive sources, and some of them international billionaires, says exactly what you just said, Willie. This is about keeping the constitution quiable so that progressives can come in and change it by frankly delivering half

by half true marketing messages to Ohioans on constitutional initiatives. Well, if a place here, it can play anywhere. And secondly, you have some articles up about Devin Archer. Donald Trump was impeached by Nancy Pelosi in the Democratic House for delaying foreign aid until the Ukrainian government guaranteed that Hunter Biden and his

family would be more fully investigated for corruption. But on the other hand, now with Devin Archer's testimony, we know that Joe Biden, with impunity, bragged that he had fired a Ukrainian prosecutor looking into his own son schemes by promising to cancel outright American foreign aid. So when Trump said, wait a minute, Biden family collected millions of dollars from the Ukraine, I want you

to investigate that he gets impeached. On the other hand, when Joe Biden as Vice president says to the Ukrainian government, until you quit investigating my son, you're not going to get a billion dollars of American foreign aid, that's no problem. Can you explain the difference? No, I can't. Under a fair balance, justice is blind world worldview, but we don't have that

in this country. What you just said to me is just like a police officer inquiring about a perpetrator in getting arrested or getting accused of dereliction for doing his job. The president has every right to say, We'll wait a minute. With our international partners and adversaries, was there some up stuff going on? He inquires about it. Joe Biden is on video bragging that he helped get Ukrainian prosecutor fired while he was vice president. Now, Devin Archer's testimony

is damning to him for a couple of reasons. Number One, Biden has signed since twenty twenty. I don't know anything about Hunters dealings. Well, that's not what Archer said. Archer said that he's done. He was on the phone at least twenty times with people, so he was quote advancing the brand or representing the Biden brand. So he's going to have a hard time explaining. How do you go from I had no idea too. You were on the phone over twenty times. And that's really the crux of it,

right. Can you imagine do the Donald Trump test if Donald Trump's son had done what Hunter Biden did and Trump had denied knowing about it, But then this bombshell testimony came out that said, not only did Donald Trump know, not only did Donald Trump's son get maybe fifty million dollars into the Biden's indicate Donald Trump knew the whole time. What do you think would be happening on ABCNBCCBS, NPR and answers itself? And lastly, Trump was indicted by Jack

Smith, who is a terrible record in dotting public officials. McDonald, the Republican governor of Virginia, was convicted. Jack Smith was the prosecutor, and the US Supreme Court reversed at nine to zero. But he Trump was indicted for quote unlawfully discounting legitimate votes unquote. What in the hell does Stacy Abrams do for many years? Or Hillary Clinton or Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter said that Trump quote lost the election and he was put into office because the Russians

interfered on his behalf quote unquote. And so is Jack Smith going to go after Jimmy Carter and Hillary Clinton and Stacy Abrams for discounting legitimate votes and saying he's not the legitimate president? Is that going to happen? No, No, it's not. It's not going to happen. And Alan Dersher, which would say that Jack Smith maybe indicted Trump wins his case. That's the bottom line. Democrats going back to twenty twelve have contested verbally and otherwise every election.

And Willie listen, we can't let people frame the conversation in half true ways. People may not believe that votes were ushered in in the eleventh hour, But there is proof through Facebook files, through Twitter files that the federal government conspired with big tech companies, and they absolutely change the influence of the election. Had that Hunter Biden lapop story not been suppressed, the outcome of the election would have been different. I don't know how to better define election

medaling than that. So we have to make sure that we wrap into that discussion that reality. But to your point, Stacy Abrams, my goodness, if Donald Trump has been indicted, you cannot explain to a rational human being how equal justice under the law would not have stay Abrams also indicted for the

same type of behavior. Well, the FBI met with Facebook and Twitter and other social media companies to make sure that negative stuff about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden did not come out before the election, and that is interfering with an

election. And so maybe the Democrats now know that if Trump wins, all of them are going to get indict It's a rush to the jailhouse door because Jack Smith and Christopher Ray and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are all facing indictment themselves if Trump wins, and so they know and Trump understands that if he loses the election, he's likely to go to federal prison because then he won't have the protection of the presidency. And all of a sudden, you have

both camps fighting with each other to keep each other out of jail. And I think Joe Biden knows that Christopher Ray knows and Mary Garland knows that if Trump wins, they're going to jail. And that's one hell of an atmosphere to have a presidential election in. Yeah, it's two things are crazy.

Number one, the lawfare that goes on. You have to be a billionaire to run in this country, otherwise you get swallowed up by the legal system, which is extremely sad to me. The other issue Willie that I'll quickly point out, it's important for people to consider both sides of the issue. The problem with Facebook, Twitter and social platforms is that they feed you more

of what you want to see. And it's amazing to me. I had a conversation with a gentleman last weekend who has no idea what Hunter Biden is up against, who has no idea that Joe Biden might be implicated as the guy that got ten percent. That's because people are on social platforms that don't allow them to see the full scope of what is going on in this country, and that is dangerous to our representative republic. Jack Winston, that is

interfering with an election. Right there, gotta run once again, the Ohio Pressnetwork dot Com and Jack wins r ever a great weekend. Let's route some Reds. Wins. I think the Reds are broken. It's up to David Bell not to get kicked out of another game and to provide the leadership this team badly needs. He couldn't even throw his hat off his head last night. But that's a different story. Joe Red's and God, bless you really thanks for having me. Thank God, bless America. Let's continue with more

interfering with an election. That's what the news media does. On news radio seven hundred WLW on how all right? Hit the music shareff pretty good stuff right here and coming up later. We have a former FBI agent name is Thomas J. Baker has written a book called The Fall of the FBI. He spent thirty three years with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and he contends is a lifetime FBI agent himself that the FBI has completely lost its way and is

picking winners and losers and not enforcing the law. That's after one o'clock today, and we think Jack Windsor for coming in as I began with him, I have sensed that the back hole in Chicago is the death knell of the twenty twenty three Sinnati Reds. I know they're only a half game out of first place, but they got hammered that I almost gave up. They ran out of energy, they hit the wall, whatever term you want to use,

whatever cliche applies. We're gonna find out the next three games against maybe the worst team in baseball this side of the Oakland A's Washington Nationals are in town and they stink, They really stink. Likely to lose ninety five to one hundred games. And the Reds are back home. They staggered from Chicago in about two two to three o'clock am in the morning. Get out of

bed sometime around one to two o'clock. Now, get up right now, get ready to play another game in front of maybe thirty five to forty thousand people. Maybe the energy of the crowd will compel my Reds to perform above expectations. The Western the Central Division is still there for the taking because I don't see either Milwaukee or Chicago being great teams. Nonetheless, in fact, other than former UC Bearcat, I don't see much of the Chicago team being

very strong, and they're pitching was average at best. So I don't know what's going to happen. But I just had his sense after last night's game. David Bell blew a fuse. This is a quiet guy who loses his mind when things go a little bit of scan. So I think he's been kicked out of games like two to three dozen times, and he's got a light of fire under this ball club to keep them going for the next fifty

games or so, because they can still win it. And who knows about Hunter Green and Nick Ludolo and t. J. Antoine and those characters when they come back, how good or how bad they're gonna be. It'll be a shot in the arm. Maybe, But it's almost impossible to think how many young players the Reds have that get hurt constantly and simply can't play, and the Hunter Green is one of them. He signs fifty seven million dollar contract and suddenly he's been on the DL for two months with a hip problem,

and he's twenty three years old with a hip problem. So I have no idea, but I'm not pessimistic. I'm realistic and I want the Reds to succeed. There's nothing like this town when the Reds are playing well. So let's see what happens. They have a homestand coming up, let's see how they perform. But I think tonight's game is crucial to turn the page, turn the corner and move to glory and for some the judgment seat of God. Let's continue. It's all Trump's world all the time. That's all

we hear about in the news. It's all Trump, and they do not cover Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Baracous Saint Obama. Kamala Harris said yesterday in an interview in Wisconsin that even after a baby is viable outside the womb, that still a woman has the right to kill the baby anyway. So we're dealing with among the most extreme politics one can ever imagine, and it's viewed is kind of accept well because that's just the way, just the way

things are. And so when Jack Smith, who was a terrible record in convicting public officials, the last big case he had was the governor of Virginia, supposedly had taken some free trips and some freebees from some rich donors and gave possibly some sort of governmental benefit benefit to the donors. It was convicted before jury got to the U. S. Supreme Court, and even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, na baba nah. The vote in the Supreme Court was

nine zip to reverse the conviction. So I said a few days ago to you that these cases are going to take three to five years to resolve, and by the time they're resolved the federal cases, the Trumpster would have been either found not guilty of trial in Florida but not in Washington, d C. For God's sakes, and then on appeal it's going to be reversed. By that point, the twenty twenty four election will be many years in the

review mirror. But you just heard Brian Combs talk about the fact that the great bulk of the American people don't pay attention to the news, or secondly, they watch the mainstream media and they think this is the worst thing next to Jack the Ripper what Trump supposedly did. And I've said many times that because other people get off free, that doesn't mean you can commit a crime. My mother used to say, if someone else does something wrong, that

doesn't give you the license to do the same thing. Absolutely true, But also it is true there's two sets of laws for two different political parties. When a Democrat severely misbehaves, commits serious felonies, the prosecutors will always find an excuse or a reason to say, well, no reasonable prosecutor would have done this, so therefore we're gonna let Hillary go, let Bill Clinton go,

whatever it might be. The prosecutor Jack Smith, who has a terrible record on convictions in public corruption cases, said that if politicians are advised by others lawyers that the comments are untruthful and nonetheless uses them to justify acts that quote undermine governmental functions unquote, he's guilty of a conspiracy to the fraud the country. So dishonest politicians who act on dubious legal claims should go to prison.

As according to Jack Smith, that allegedly the President Donald Trump, whose duty it is to faithfully execute the laws, when he made telephone calls, for example, the one to Georgia in which he urged the Secretary of State, a fellow Republican, to go find eleven thousand and seven d any votes. He didn't tell the Secretary State of Georgia to corruptly go find them, may illegally go find them. He said they're out there, the legal votes are out there, Go find them. And so that is morphed into a

federal indictment. You might recall, if memory serves me correctly, that in two thousand both al Gore and George W. Bush filed lawsuits and the two thousand election that contained bold and uncontested or contested legal claims. Both candidates head advisers who told them privately, these claims are not legitimate. Other lawyers told them both these claims are legitimate. Neither publicly conceded an inch until the US

Supreme Court resolved the matter. Well, the ultimate winner could have caused the indictment of the loser. George Bush could have gone after al Gore under the theories of Jack Smith that he received advice not to a file the lawsuits and make these claims publicly because they turned out to be false. And you might recall that in twenty fourteen, during the recess of the Senate, President Barack Hussaint Obama violated the Constitution by decreeing that the Senate was in recess and that

he could put in place several appointees without confirmation. It was outrageous. In fact, Obama was advised, you can't do that, you need Senate approval, and ultimately the court system ruled that Obama was wrong. He committed a constitutional law violation. Well, what would occur then, when when Trump took office to indict Barack Hussein Obama for corruptly installing in the office individuals who did

not go through the constitution constitutional process. Recently, Biden has said he's got the power to erase four hundred and thirty billion dollars in his third and loan dead. He was corruptly advised by some lawyers you could do it, and other lawyers you couldn't do it. But Biden went ahead and did it anyway. Then the Supreme Court ruled six to three, you can't do that. What Jack Smith thought? Who indict him for corruptly indicating that he had the

power to do something that ultimately was determined he couldn't do. When Biden sent to Afghanistan against the advice of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of the Secretary Defense to extract military personnel, get the hell out of Afghanistan, and give it back to the Taliban. He was told not to do it, other advisers said to do it. Well, as a result, even brave American soldiers were murdered at the gate trying to load up those planes. Eleven soldiers

murdered killed by terrorists. Well, according to Jack Smith, since he received advice not to do it and he did it anyway, is that reckless homicide? Could Biden now be indicted? Maybe he'll be indicted after the next election by the next Republican president for acts of reckless homicide when he acted without an authority to conduct a war and wrongfully send soldiers into harm's way when advised not

to do so. What most of us would say, he will. That's outrageous in this case, because the system wants to get Trump by any means necessary. Trump received the advice by some and by others different advice that all the votes cast in those various states were knock cast in illegal, corrupt fashion. So he made it. He made telephone calls which have now been morphed into twenty years in prison. The main example of being the one to the

Secretary State of Georgia, in which he said, fine votes. He didn't say illegally find votes. Trump believed or maybe he didn't believe, he said it, go find eleven thousand seven votes. One could imply by that legally go find him. Is that beyond a reasonable doubt he had some corrupt intent? Of course not. The government will get who they want to get and ignore who they do not want to get, and let it go at that.

The concern I have, well, Hillary Clinton is a case by herself when she had top secret information SAP information on a home brewed server, and according to the FBI Director James Comey, the nation's enemies had direct access to

that information. And it's reasonable to conclude that they have top secret information from Hillary Clinton when she acted illegally and having top secret information classified materials outside secure settings, outside skifts, for example, and she committed maybe thirty four thousand felonies. But the director of the FBI stood up and said a few months before the twenty sixteen election, no reasonable prosecutor whatever bring these kind of charges.

Well one has now, Jack Smith, he's brought him. Even though Joe Biden himself has hundreds of boxes of classified documents and garages and in law offices and in his homes all over the place. That's okay, Oh wow, Well, no reasonable prosecutor who's a committed left wing Democrat whatever bring charges against O Biden or Kamala Harris or Barack Hussaint Obama or Al Gore or Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton. No, no, no, we save these activities

and these self righteous patriotism for people like Donald Trump. We go after him. Unbelievable. That's where we're That's where we are, That's where we're headed. Do I think Trump's gonna win the election? I know He's going to win the nominee nomination of the Republican Party. He's hotter now in the Republican Party than the Chicago Cubs playing the Cincinnati Reds. Let's face it. I

mean, he's He's going to get the nomination. And so we have the leader of the Democrat Party indicting the leader of the Republican Party for acts committed by Democrats for years without consequence. But the bulk, I use the example often fifteen percent of us are conversant in civic lessons, civic matters. We don't know whether it's Jay leno or whether it's Jesse Waters just going to the public and ask adults who's the vice president? How many US senators are there,

how many states are there? Well, what is the Declaration of Independence? So what year was America formed? Just basic questions and five nine percent of no clue what the questioners even asking about, don't know. In other words, were stupid. God knows. The Great American also is stupid. I'm stupid. I'm ignorant about a bunch of stuff. I know some things and don't know others. But I do know that when the media hooks in with the Democratic Party, of which all of them are all in one basket

together, it's amazing. If you would ask media types who you voted for. I bet less than one percent voted for Donald Trump. They all vote for Democrats all the time. They don't have their thumb a weighing the equality of information. They got a cinder block. So of course they're going to report information in a certain way to put Republicans in the worst light possible and to support Democrats and all they do, including killing unborn babies. I mean,

to a Democrat, that's like a sacrament. When Kamala Harris says that even after babies are viable outside the womb, a mother has should have the right to kill her own baby. You know, we live in difficult times, so we'll see what happens. We're blessed to live in very interesting times. And I just hope that when it's all said and done, that we pass off to our children and grandchildren are a better nation than was given to us by our parents. I doubt that very much, especially on the southern

border. What's happening there, the millions and millions coming across unvetted, And also what's happening with our debt and the fact that we owe By the end of this decade, which is just seven years away. Seven years ago it was twenty sixteen. Seven years from now, the accumulate national debt's going to be forty trillion dollars. That's funny money. And the value of everything we

own is going to be worth less. And the ability of our children to function at a high level, it's going to be much less than it's been for us. And I would note that many here are gone this afternoon for the funeral of a mother of one of our own who passed away. Passed away at an appropriate age. There's never a good time for a good mother to die. Never a good time, It's all bad. I pray to God that there's a heaven above for people like mothers and grandmothers who make life

livable, and for the great wives so many of us have. And it's much harder for a man to act properly than a woman. But there's got to be a special place in heaven for good moms who raised their kids, pay attention to their families and to all the little things that make life so livable. And the grandmothers who care so deeply for the lives and in the

spirit of their grandsons and granddaughters. And anyone that would tell you that a loving mother would kill her own baby, whether in the womb or outside the womb, is there should be a special place in hell for them to kill the unborn babies growing inside your womb. And to have the vice president of this great country say, a baby viable outside the womb, six seven month old baby in the womb should be able to be killed by the mother with

impunity That is sick or let's continue. We've scheduled in about ten minutes an interview with Thomas J. Baker, author of the book They'll Fall of the FBI and What has Went Wrong with Washington? A god US America's mothers. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred Wow. Looking for air conditioning installation or service, turned to the experts at Anderson automout a heating and cooling for the reliability of carrier equipment. Call five one three five by Billy Cunningham, The Great

America. Let's continue. Whenever stop, we simply continue. Great book has been out for a few months now. It's really picking up stone each team because of it's because of its voracity. The Fall of the FBI written by Thomas J. Baker, who spent about thirty three years and that formerly great organization, fidelity, bravery, integrity. Name of the book specifically is the Fall of the FBI. How a once great agency became a threat to democracy.

Thomas J. Baker, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And for those listening locally and around the country, can you give us some sense and a few paragraphs if you can, of the FBI. Hi that you knew for some thirty three years, you knew the FBI to be what Bill the FBI I joined was a square to tell the truth law enforcement organization. And during our training as new agents, and by the way, thank you

for this opportunity to give this explanation. During our training as new agents in the classroom, the thing that was emphasized with the Constitution, the US Constitution. Of course, outside the classroom we had a lot of firearms training and arrest techniques, but the Constitution was the main academic topic for three months that

new agents got and then periodically they got updates on Supreme Court cases. The part of the Constitution we learned most about was the Bill of Rights, and particularly the fourth fifth and sixth Amendment, which impacts law enforcement and law enforcement operations. And the way it was taught to us by these wonderful instructors was we should not regard the fourth, fifth and sixth Amendment as an obstacle to

getting our job done. We should embrace it. And we even had one instructor gave us each a pocket sized copy of the Constitution to keep in our pocket, and he said, when you're out there and you're sitting down interviewing a citizen or searching somebody's home, if you have the Constitution in your pocket, you'll never do wrong, you'll never go off the tracks. I mean, that's how serious and how sacred it was taken. It sounds corny today,

but most of us did take it seriously. Then. Part of our job was preserving the Bill of Rights and those whole thing's been turned on its head since Mollah and then call me twisted the FBI into a free wielding intelligence operation rather than a grounded law enforcement operation. And Thomas J. Baker, what was some of the duties for your thirty three years in the bureau?

Can you tell the American people? I guess for credibility purposes, which I don't need, but many may want to know what kinds of things did you do in the FBI for thirty three years? And retire with great honor? Well, I was blussed, Bill, Thank you for asking that. I did virtually everything in the FBI that people would do. In the FBI was

assigned around the country. I worked civil rights cases. I worked against domestic terrorists, criminals, bank rob as, organized crime organized crime in New York, in Washington, DC, corrupt politicians. We had a lot of sensitive investigations in that regard, and as I explained in the book, I touched on a few historic cases, one being the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan. I was the first FBI agent on the scene, and I managed the

initial response to that incident. We talk about in the book The Trash of twa eight hundred pan m one. Three other historical cases like that, and of course kidnappings, several famous kidnappings. I'm not the main character or the hero in any of those stories, but I have some knowledge of them that

I wanted to share with people. After those thirty three years in the FBI, I continue to be engaged with the FBI and with law enforcement in general, as a consultant on fingerprint matters and others, and also serving on the boards of several key organizations, including the Department of Justice's credit union. I want to ask you the question about politics because it's obvious until Muller and until

Komey and Ray took over, politics was completely irrelevant. You did not check someone's political affiliation before you began investigation and dealt with their acts and their behavior,

not with their politics. And as evidence of that, John Durham, who's the Inspector General the FBI has a character, a personality, a department called the Inspector General John Durham report laid out in detail the absurdity of the Russian collusion investigation against Donald Trump, which the national media in this country rolled with for two and a half years. And every week or two there were

breathless new revelations about Donald Trump's involvement with Russia. And it turned out to be ninety nine percent false, but the media ran with it for two years. The country was tied in knots about Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. We now know a lot more about it than we knew then. But tell the American people in a synopsis, what did John Durham, the Inspector General the FBI report about the predicate for the Russian collusion delusion involving Donald Trump.

Well, basically, and it all became public well over a month ago, now almost two months ago. John Durham, in a three hundred, three hundred and six page report, documents really documents that there was no absolutely no justification for opening the investigation of the Trump campaign, Trump's presidential campaigner,

of Trump himself at that time. It's it's shocking read it. Of course, in my instance, a lot of the stuff he says in there is already in my book, and in the sense he validates my book, which is nice to be validated, to be vindicated. But at the same time it's shocking and disappointing that a thing could go so far off the track. Absolutely absolutely no justification for opening that case whatsoever. Well, last a week after the most recent Trump indictments out of Washington, d C. Christopher Ray

testified which it must watch television. I'm sure most Americans don't watch it, but it is embarrassing to watch Christopher Ray, the director of the FBI, I call him j Edgar Ray, and talk about the few heads that have rolled the bad apples, who began the investigation of Donald Trump for two and a half years without a predicate. Talk about from the perspective of John Durham and the recent problems in the FBI, what has needed a few heads to

roll for the illegalities or something deeper. That there's a cancer loose in the FBI in Washington, and these are not the field officers here in Cincinnati, the field offices, etc. That this is the heart of the FBI in Washington. What did Christopher Ray say about the snooping of the private e mails? What did he say about the predicate for the Russian collusion delusion that was false? What did Christopher Ray talk about the poor leadership of James COMI give

the American people that information. Well, every time, not just in his testimony before the House about two weeks ago. Now, every time this comes up, he to some extent he acknowledges there was a problem in that. He says, the people, the miscredence who created these problems, if you will, the bad apples are no longer with us. And in the case of Durham, he goes back and he points out that, you know, Comie McCabe struck, they've all been fired. Then we have these other fiascos

like the investigation of the attempted kidnapping of the Michigan governor. Two agents were fired over that, and on and on, and each time he falls back on, well, the bad apples are no longer with us, And in this congressional testimony two weeks ago, he's still it was a missed opportunity. He could have come up and said, listen, we know we got a cultural problem. We're going to change the culture. We're going to reform the

FBI. But instead he keeps weaving and dodging and making excuses, which is so unnecessary. He even tried to deny, and that it's been played on some of the TV channels over and over again that there was this attempt so contrary to the spirit of the First Amendment to control the free speech, the free expression of Americans, which is very well documented now in the Twitter files, that the FBI collaborated with Twitter and other companies to censor and monitor American

speech. That's something that should never happen. And yet he tries to weave around, weave around that. That has to be done forthrightly. Congress can do something about that. Congress can do something about reforming FISA, the Foreign Intelligence of Aillance Act. But the behind the Department of Justice, at the end of the day, have to reform themselves. And the first thing to reform yourself, you have to recognize the problem. And now we have the

President Donald Trump and DITA for corruptly trying to influence a national election. How would you describe the FBI meeting with tech company executives during the campaign to stop them from reporting objectively on the Hunter Biden laptop because it may refer to criminal behavior by Joe Biden, who sought to be president, didn't the FBI leadership

itself corruptly involved itself in a national election. A lot of people are saying that, and in fact, we know now that the FBI had the computer at the time that these fifty some odd former intelligence officers were saying it it is so probably is Russian disinformation. The FBI knew it was not Russian disinformation. That's on the record now. They knew it then. Of course they have the technical capability with a laptop like that in a matter of days,

if not hours, to analyze it and determine it was all legit. So there was a lot to investigate even back then. And we're going back almost four years at least four years now, I believe, And yet it was buried and Christopher Ray again acknowledges that to some extent. An ASAC, that's the Assistant Special Agent charge in Washington Field who tried to bury in slow walk the laptop investigation last December, only six months ago, was allowed to he's

essentially dismissed from the FBI. And Raid points out to that as another example of they got rid of a bad apple. But there's a lot to be done now the Hunter Biden investigation, which quite frankly now is broadening out into

an investigation involving a lot of the bidens Well suspicious activity. Reports obtained from banks by the House corroborate the ten twenty three information that large amounts of money flowed out of the Ukraine Barisma Romanian interest, the mayor of Moscow's wife Communist read China, and this information ought to be a bombshell. However, whether it's the FBI, they've had the Hunter Bider laptop now for many years,

it looks as if they're not interested in pursuing it. If we had the FBI that existed twenty years ago, when you were in your prime in the FBI, and you had dropped in your lap a laptop that had a roadmap of serious corruption by high government of in the good old days, you would have pursued to its logical conclusion. But now the FBI waits till the statutes of limitations run and do nothing. How disappointed are you in that? Well,

I'm heartbroken, as are others. I mean to say, how things were done in the Washington Field office when I was there, we had several cases in involving public figures, members of Congress, in one case a US judge, and those cases were followed so meticulously. But let me tell you

this, we investigated people for a ten thousand dollar bribe. Here there's documentation of very suspicious money in the tens of millions, and as you mentioned, the stars, the suspicious activity reports flowing from foreign sources through a series of paper companies to members of the Biden family. In any other U verse that would be that would get so much investigative focus. I mean, you drop everything else to work on that, and yet it seems to be slow walking.

Now. I have no doubt. I have no doubt that people in the FBI and then the IRS, and maybe a few in the Department of Justice who are trying to work this thing are running up against a lot of headwinds from Attorney General Garland and all the others who are trying to protect the

Bidens. But it is there. There is so much out there, and as you use the correct word corroborate, the informant report from the Ukraine alleging a specific bribe is corroborated by these and I believe it's well over a hundred suspicious activity reports. That's the truth I mentioned earlier. Right was on the board of directors of the Justice Credit Union. We'd get one or two suspicious

activity reports a year. This is in credible, over a hundred suspicious activity reports documenting millions of dollars moving through paper companies to members of the Biden family. I don't see how any citizen, no matter how liberal a democratic they are, could look at this and not say, boy, there's something wrong here. On paper, it looks as if the Bidens have monetized the office of Vice president, and then also Hillary Clinton Secretary of State, and after

that they've all monetized it. And it looks as if here's the information, here's the money coming out of the Ukraine. Here's the billion dollars of American money flowing into the Ukraine. And here's the dismissal of the prosecutor looking at Barisma, and here's the ten million dollars in Barisma going to Joe Biden and Hunter Biden each getting five million dollars. And it's like, well, you know what, we can't put this together. We don't know where it's going.

It wouldn't take a rocket science just to figure out at least to look into it. And these stars reports, there's hundreds of them, and you said it's quite unusual to get one or two, and the FBI has given hundreds of them. And Christopher Ray that's been there now for five or six years, he just can't figure it out. Is that conceivably true? Yeah, it's the almost five years since he was made director in twenty seventeen, and that's about the same time that the laptop, the hunt about Hunter Biden

laptop was recovered. There's no doubt some people, as I say, tried to slow walk that tried to bury it. And they could have spoken up much more strongly when these sony blogony in former intelligence officers tried to say it was Russian disinformation when they really had no no firsthand knowledge to say that, and the FBI had already discovered that it was a genuine article. I'm bug my own book, but let me mention Moranda Divine's book, The Laptop from

Hell. She lays out everything that's in that laptop in her book, and anyone who reads that just you just shake your head at the boldness of the Bidens shaking down people in China and the Ukraine and accepting these bribes. And even in there they talk about the meeting at Cafe Milanos when Biden, Biden and now the President came to Kafe Milano's and met with all these business associates, foreign business associates that Hunter and his associates were shaking down. It's all

documented. It's it's right there in black and white, and we know it's genuine. Hi. Thomas Jay Baker, thirty three years in the FBI. The book is the Fall of the FBI, How a great agency became a threat to democracy. It's all available. It's up to informed Americans to vote perform appropriately to these known facts that the media in which the FBI and the Department of Justice wants to keep secrete it. Thomas J. Baker. Once again, God bless you and thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

Thank you, Thomas, God bless you, Bill, and thank you for all the good you do. God bless you. Let's continue with more unbelievable.

We should have put Ken Anderson in a long time ago too. He belongs right, but it's screwed up. Ken Anderson's gotten no

better the last twenty years. Well it's been you know why, because the Bengals didn't win. That's a thing. Look at all that are in there. They lost the first one because Chris Collinsworth and Collinsworth cost him to Super Bowl and it's Cincinnati too small market. They all want to see the superstars go.

We leave you with the immortal words of this Dude report. Maybe not, thank you well. President Harris led this effort, led this effort to make things better in the countries from which they are leaving, doing a great job in countries they are leaving. So when did President Harris take over?

And President Harris is now controlling El Salvador Mexico, Nicaragua at all, we're doing a great job. We're in trouble. God kidding. Let's continue with more. We never stop, We simply continue. Amen on news Radio seven hundred w Oltivan, the Ohio Lottery, Negamon, Jack Pott, hits all got the vould Nickies that wide at the door they found. Send us to leave this held out a way that I was bad to the ball ahead of the bowl a Billy Cunningham, the great American, one more great hour

with you. And then of course Eddie and the Rock and Jason Williams take over in about forty five minutes or so and gets up to Red's Baseball about five forty pre game six forty first pitch Nationals in town. And they stink they're no good. The Reds equally have been no good. They last three games anyway than four games in Chicago. They gave up something like forty five

runs, setting old time records never to be broken again. And I have a fear that when you're broken, it's much more difficult to get things going in the right direction as opposed to having never been in that direction before to get things moving. So about three months ago the Reds at the hell with it, We're not going to stink up. Came a bunch of new players, McLean and Abbott and Ellie Della Cruz and etc. And these guys,

Okay, we want to win. And now they've been up here for about two to three months, the Reds, they've had a pretty good record. And then something happened medically, chemically, metaphysically in Wrigley Field, and which the Reds collapsed into a ball of pity, ended up with David bell throwing his hat. Couldn't take the hat off his head, couldn't even pick it

up. Wrigley faithful were laughing at our manager, David Bells, snickering at him because he was objecting the balls and strikes that were borderline at best. And I tweeted, tweeted out on that a couple of times in which the umpires or the referees, whoever it might be, have a prejudice against Cincinnati, the Bengals would have been Super Bowl champs but for a bad call on the five yard line to give the Rams the victory. The NFL won in

Los Angeles to win the Super Bowl, and not Cincinnati. They wanted San Francisco to win the Super Bowl and not Cincinnati. And God knows that nobody in baseball won Cincinnati to win a damn thing. As the thirty fifth largest market in fact, that the Reds do not have a professional team in baseball,

Cincinnati would never get a professional team. And if the Brown family had not located here in the late nineteen sixties with the cooperation of Pete Roselle, who had great affection for Paul Brown, Cincinnati would never get a pro football franchise. Were too small, large market, about thirty fifth and it's falling, it's not rising, staying the same, so we got problems. And you may not know, it's not about sports. It's about eyeballs and about

ears. You got to have ears to listen and eyeballs to watch. And the powers that be do not want the Cincinnati's to win anything, so they twisted turn things to make sure either the Reds the Bengals do not win, an FC will not win either because they're in Cincinnati. And these big time enterprises went to big time schools and the big time cities to win and not little old Cincinnati, you see, was never going to beat Alabama and football

anyway. Once they got there, not enough ratings, not enough eyeballs. So that's my analysis on that. But nonetheless, the Reds can do what the Reds can do. In fact, in nineteen ninety somewhat thirty three years ago, seems like yesterday. If the Reds had to play a game five, six and seven against Oakland without pitching, without there, without Eric Davis, without ability to Billy Hatcher was done. I see Billy Hatcher every now

and then walking around Madara. What a great guy, and wouldn't have done it. He couldn't play anymore. Eric Davis was done. When you talk to Jose Blaman on re he was done. He needed a ten day rest. He was done. And the Nasty Boys are done. Benzinger was done, Barry Larkin was done. They were all done. But fortunately I think the final score was a two to one at the Reds one game for the World Series. By here's Ken Riley, one of the great defensive backs in

the history of football. Long after he's dead, he gets admitted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, so he and his family can't enjoy it. And then you got, of course, Kenny Anderson belongs in the Hall of Fame. Much better stats than almost every quarterback in it, MVP of the league, seventy completion percentage, wonderful quarterback. He can't get into the Hall of Fame. It's unbelievable. But nonetheless, I feel like a victim that

excuses bad behavior. When you're a victim, guess what it excuses bad behavior? Now, let's move on. You miss a week, you miss a lot. Earlier this week I had on Jeremy Adams the California te of the year, no one better, forty eight years old, been teaching for twenty two years, wrote a book Education is hollowed out in America. And about a week or ten days, we're going to begin this charade again, as

if spending money determines a defined result when it comes to education. And I'm watching one of the news channels last night that in Akron, to his credit, and I give Lebron James little credit for anything, he put up about ten million dollars of his own money over a period of years to create a special place in Akron and tough neighborhoods in Akron, to educate largely black kids who are from dysfunctional families and their third, fourth, and fifth graders.

To begin with now goes the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth, and they have kids coming out of tough environments. The culture, the culture stinks, and it comes out of the environment where education is not valued, where crime is rampant, when debris is all over the streets, no parental role models. And he teamed up with Akron Public Schools, home of my good friend Jerry Faust, one of the great Americans that

have ever lived is Jerry Faust of Muller High School. And nonetheless I regress. And the goal was to take these kids, put them in first class environment. Overpay the teachers, wonderful facilities, etc. Laptops, give these kids everything. The kids that go to Indian Hill High School and grade school the same educational opportunities, overpay the teachers, special counselors, and all the

facilities, hymnaysim whatever it might take at home tutoring. They were going to prove over the last has been six or seven years now that the kids living in a dysfunctional culture, in a polluted dream can be healthy. So five years later, Lester Holt of NBC News goes back and does a puff piece on all the great things happening and that they kind of left open the educational element that the element was. You know, they're doing better than they were

five years ago. So then the Akron Beacon Journal, which is a fine newspaper, actually reported on facts, which is the graduation and also the achievement record of those kids having been in that system for five or six years, and the best meals, the best counseling, the best psychological services, overpay

the teachers, a fine physical structure, a safe environment. Kids and their so called parents sign an I Promised slip that says we're going to do homework, We're going to attend parent teacher conferences, etc. So the Acron Beacon Journal noted that in the eighth grade, after being in the system for five or six years, what percentage of the children who'd been in that I Promise school put together by Lebron James in the Acron public schools are achieving at grade

level when it come to mathematics slash English and Civics? What percent? Think in your own mind what that percent should be? What the answer is? Zero? Not one child past the eighth grade State of Ohio proficiency mathematical testing the answer was zero. That tells you that the culture, the parents means everything, and that you can put a polluted fish in a healthy stream and ultimately the fish is still going to die. In this case, educationally,

it's worthless do all these things. It's sad because those kids who cannot perform not one at the eighth grade level of mathematics. It is not too dissimilar to what happens in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Covington, Detroit, and Chicago and New York. That is, more money is being spent on public education than ever before in American history. To the tune in Washington, DC a thirty five thousand dollars per kid, and there's a complete lack of educational

achievement. Do not succeed, cannot read, cannot write, cannot understand as terrible civics and awful mathematics. And it's about the home life. It's about where you live, and it's about expectations from your family and the involvement of parents or a parent. And let's say it, I you tell me the solution. Here we are on what August the fourth school is going to start in about ten days, and we're going to continue to do the same thing

again anticipating different consequences and it's not going to work. And on top of that, educational failure because of a lack of faith, a lack of family, lack of values, lack of parental involvement. According to Jeremy Adams, books hollowed out because that is the problem. You can't spend money, issue a check overpay a teacher when the children themselves have that impediment in their background.

The answer is none of it's going to work. So as you and I know as it that the same cry has been had now for long for decades, that more money's got to be we're not spending enough money, got to spend more money. And Cincinnati Public schools, the money spend is north at twenty thousand dollars per kid per year with horrible results and good parents as soon as they can get their kids out of school. So that was Jeremy Adams, the California Teacher of the Year, saying it's getting worse, it's

not getting better with that the pandemic using as an excuse. It's not about paying teachers, not about gymnasium classes, it's not about counseling services, it's not about laptops. What it is about it is a lack of faith, a lack of family, and a lack of purpose, and that educational achievement

in urban schools means you're acting white and that's a negative. Later on this week, we had on Craig Rucker of seat dot org who spent quite a bit of time on se fact talking about the environment in which we live, the physical environments scaring the crap out of people. You know, every three months, there's climate change in this country, and it's going to go on

for a long period of time. One of the things I don't like about Florida is climate change doesn't happen in Florida, but climate change happens in most of the United States, and we're using climate change in a way to impose rampant socialism on the American people, and that those who are benefiting from climate

change are the nation's enemies, not the United States of America. Natural gas and fracking is among the best way to have energy resources and to put off the coast or in Indiana in the cornfields, these gigantic, incredible windmills that don't work and don't produce electricity sufficient to do anything while killing millions and millions of birds and other creatures, and off the coast, of course, you're killing thousands of whales in ruining marine life. Craig Rucker made the point that

the environmentalists are destroying the environment. They're bringing about what they seek to avoid, and we're letting it happen because it's being funded. When you pay for something, you get more of it. When you tax it, you get less. And so because of the socialist Democrats in charge, they're spending billions of dollars on green energy methods and means that do not produce sufficient electricity for the needs of this great country. And secondly, it is killing the environment.

And the media didn't report on it, doesn't report on it, but I just did and later on I had on earlier today, I did a live interview with Thomas J. Baker or the FBI thirty three years. The

FBI stands for fidelity, bravery, and integrity. He made the rather clear point after his thirty three years of service that beginning with Muller, continuing with comy and metastasizing under Jay edgar Ray, the current director of the FBI, that it's completely lost its way, that it doesn't investigate democrats, but does investigate Republicans, especially Donald Trump, because in their minds, the ultimate goal

is to make sure that Trump never again becomes the president. Because if Trump is reelected in twenty twenty four, the president Attorney General Mary Garland is going to be indicted obstruction of justice. The president director of the FBI, Christopher Ray is going to be indicted. Hunter Biden will be indicted, Joe Biden will be indicted. The Trump's there's going to come after them the way they went after the Trumpster. This does not say that it's possible Donald Trump did

commit some criminal acts. It's possible on the document case, that he did not properly handle classified materials, but he handled them much better than Hillary Clinton handled them, and much better than Joe Biden handled those same classified documents. At least those classified documents by the Trumpster were being guarded by the Secret Service

and the FBI and secured rooms. The documents covered by Hillary Clinton's crimes were in a home unprotected somewhere in Chappaqua, New York, and the current president, at least the one sitting in the office Joe Biden, has been cut with top secret documents in four different locations, including in broken down brown boxes

in his garage behind his corvette for anyone to find and see. So if the media and the FBI went after everyone of the category of Donald Trump then handled wrongfully classified documents, I would say, well, Donald, get in line, because Hillary Clinton is locked up, and Joe Biden is locked up, and Hunter Biden is locked up, and Al Gore is locked up, and Jimmy Carter is locked up, and you knew the game and you failed

out a report to prison. But in the Donald's case, I want him treat it like any other person in this category, which is the presidency. How did other presidents and the FBI deal with previous presidents who committed crimes while in office? Well guess what they all got to Texas El Paso. Treat Donald the way you treat it, Barack Hussaint Obama and Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton, and I'm good with that. Treat him like them.

So let's continue. We never stopped. We simply continue.

This anonymous Benga calling sports talk watching filams O hell hello, quiet broadcasting, saying we have a round table discussion here with Synonymous, the Great Trumpster, Jason Williams, and The Rock. The Rock is making an appearance. People. We got on that afternoon show now eight or nine, Rock are we looking I think we're not looking good? But uh, I'll tell you what alignment before we get to I have a question to put upon the table.

Okay, I sense as a former great athlete, whether it's ping pong, rocketball, baseball, ball, pickleball, basketball, I could do everything but pickleball. That's for sure, that the Reds were snapped, that they were exposed this weekend and regularly field, and that they're done. Dunn done, You're done? What do you say? Rock? Are the Reds d u n n done? No, They're not done. They happen to catch a Cubs team that's just absolutely on fire. Now, will Be, I

will say this, you got a young team in the Reds. Right off the young teams, lots of rookies. It's a long season. It's a hard, grind y. The pitching's gonna is going down a little bit, so that that's something this team is gonna have to fight. But I think they'll I think they'll hang around long enough to least be in the conversation for the playoffs at the end of the season. Jason, what are your comments about the red segment says they're done? What do you say, did not

out? They're not done, They're not done. I don't know about that. I'll watched him. I watched him quit, I watched them stop, I watched them incapable. I watched David Bell couldn't find his hat on his head. It's three games, three games. Maybe I'll go too high and too low. Maybe that's it. The cousin have been ripping football. So their cousins have been ripping the ball since the All Star Game. Tomorrow they

got hot hot. They want to talk about pickleball and why the segment isn't in this tournament this weekend off Middletown Pickleball Association tournament is Saturday and Sunday. I want to make that known right now. Are you in or out? I'm playing playing? You wash your hands upon it? Why I'm retired after and Willie, I'm glad you brought washing your hand. Then. President Tim McGee, the Pride of Tennessee, is not playing because reports are he went

under underwent meniscus surgery recently from a pickleball injury. I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know. That's not what I heard. I heard that this spute is actually over some money and money payments and names. Segment and Tim McGee are a little bit miffed that they got disrespected when it comes to the dollars. You know, I just stick to Notre Dame and be independent. Okay, just go to we will yeah, independent, we

will rock them. You hate life one day? With that? Speaking of Notre Dame, what did the Rock think of Austin Elmore's tweet about Notre Dame the other day? Man, I'm thinking the Rock has got to be ticked. I don't live on Twitter. What did he say? Oh that's your I don't know my producer. I imagine he has my back as a loyal part of the edding Rocky. Imagine he has my back. Not this time. I don't disagree with Austin Elmore. Plus he wants to be noticed.

Audie. Audie basically says that Notre Dame is hasn't been relevant in years, since eighty nine, since eighty what was it eighty eight? Right? Was that the when they won the national title eighteen eighty eight, they lost a Marshall and UC didn't they Well, they've been in a playoff, they've been in a national championship game and didn't they didn't win that playoff game. But who has it's Alabama and High State one one in twenty fourteen, and then

it's been a Clemson that's been about it. So now we have to speak in the facts. You guys like bs. I like facts. He shut up, old man. I'm on his side for danhore here, aren't we We got Washington and Oregon on the west coast. We got Maryland and probably North Carolina on the east coast, everything in between. You go to the SEC, they're a regional deal, right basic Florida State once out of the ACC Arizona's going to the Big twelve. Twelve is being ripped to shreds.

So I have the facts and the figures. Do you want these or do you want to just continue to be ignorant? Everybody he's talking to you secon here it is nice. Here's here's my Oregon and Washington have left. I don't like. Here's the average per team payout of every conference. Okay, in twenty twenty three, the PAC twelve average team payout was thirty five point five million. PAC twelve the Big Ten is fifty eight point nine million, right, so almost double cash money. That's why they go there. So

that's twenty twenty three. If you fast forward to twenty twenty nine, the payout per team the Big ten is ninety four point five million dollars, while the PAC twelve or PAC eight or it's going to be the PAC six here soon would be fifty six point five million. So it will be close to fifty million dollars more per team by twenty twenty nine. That's why they left.

And Washington Oregon. We're tired of splitting contract revenue with like, you know, Washington State and Oregon State back bombs here, you know, all these all these sort of teams. They were sick of it. They said, we're premiere programs. We want to be with a Big ten s. You're you're making too much sense segment. I agree with them in my eye, Yeah, you're rolling your rock you like, do you like this stuff?

I mean, do you like generally like all this realignment or you kind of like I'm tired but you may not know this, Jason, but I'm a bit of a conservative, so I would say I was. I would say, no one ever asked me about the Rocks politics. Ever, No, I would like the UH. I kind of like old matchups. I think regional matchups. But you know, look, I'm also understanding of the world we live in, and it's about premier sporting offense on the screen.

And how do you do that. You can't put you know whatever, Alabama mercer on TV and expect people to watch it. But the pie has gotten so much smaller with all the TV networks and all the sort of stuff. So you gotta get the big games. You gotta get Michigan, Ohio State, you gotta get USC Ohio State. You gotta get Washington versus Penn State, these big name games that are gonna put eyeballs on the screen. What about Notre Dame Marshall thundering herd. I'm glad you asked about Notre Dame.

So Notre Dame's current TV contract with NBC pays them twenty six million dollars a year. But but but but that ends in twenty twenty four, and then reor the people I talk to say they will seek to triple that. They will seek sixty five to seventy five million dollars per year, which say we'll put them on back on that same tier as the Big ten schools I just mentioned, which is again about you know seven, you know, sixty seventy million. So Notre Dame will get the Moneys out of the Big ten,

the same number, but not had the requirements. They share and share a like with teams like Northwestern, led by Pat Fitzgerald, who ran a renegade program with sexual assaults upon innocent boys. Is that what you're saying, you're breaking up. I couldn't hear what you said. I'm just saying that's what you say. But here's the deal. Does do they? Does the Big ten renegotiate this TV contract now that they've added all these teams and stuff.

So now now the question, will Notre Dame ever join a conference? No, unless unless my money is so big, if they, if NBC would pay Notre Dame a sixty five million dollars a year contract, But all of a sudden, Big ten schools are getting you know, ninety million, ninety five one hundred million a team then and then you so it's hard to see. Yeah, if you're great salads and el salvation. That's what it is. A jazzy answer to average. Do you see NBC doing that? Hard

to see him paying him sixty five million. If Addie Elmore says they've been there, they're gonna keep. They have more facts and figures for you. NBC is gonna keep Notre Dame. Notre Dame averages two point four million viewers per show now, and that's when they play Navy, That's when they play whatever. Right, So like Ohio State, Michigan gets About lou over seventeen million viewers. That's the top top viewed game in college football every single year.

Um So again, the fact that Notre Dame is getting, i mean two point four million viewers per on average per game is pretty good. So NBC will likely pay that. Now, here's page three. I like to think outside carbox. We got Ellie Dela Cruz the hottest thing in the world right now. Friday night he plays the TQL Saturday or what's he going to do for the Red AI finish Saturday? He plays at my ballpark, the Great American Sunday he's catching balls from Joe Burrow and pay Corps. Is that

a possibility? Go, I've been saying this all along. You got to get him down there. Walk about the half mile from Great American Ballpark down the Paul Brown Stadium or whatever it's called now Lonnie Mount Wide and then run down the sideline Joe Burrow throw it up. He obviously has ball skills. Sake has not very good ball skills, but like Ellie lay Cruise has good

ball skills. You're bringing up say I can't hear you and facing his up possibility, Well, I'm thinking a better possibility might be to put him under center right now, quarterback for the Bengals. I mean, Joey Burrows hurt, let him run? Let un What's what's Ellie throwing the ball ninety five per hour right and then he can run the Jamar Chase wouldout light them up? Or what? Oh? What if Messi was there with de la Cruz? Who do you like in that matchup? Day La Cruise, all day

A wild scene unfolded this past Wednesday night in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball,

the Long Island Ducks played the Spired City ghost Hounds. Top of the tenth inning, the ghost Hounds complete a double play out of a bases load of jam. Immediately after the getting the third out of the inning, the first baseman throws his glove and goes into the seats to confront a fan. Nice thank you. Unlike David Bellley found a piece of his equipment he could throw. Did you see the regularly faithful lapping at David bell He's looking for his

hat on his head. Where's the hat? I can't find it. I'll tell you what. That's a bad Cubs team, man. I think they're team Ian happ and they should have Ian Happit. So I'll imagine if they would have had and still had Anthony Rizzo and company, she would be pretty good. But they're stopping to get hot at the wrong time. It's good on a date, but not good on a baseball fee. What you're day getting you understand. You don't even understand how I missed that one. So
