Bill Cunningham Show -- 4/2/24

All right, Bill Cunningham to Great American here we go again with storm chasers in town. All health breaking, loose ale, thunderstorms, high winds, and so much more. Avalanche's hurricanes. Everyone's in town. Many schools have dismissed already at eleven thirty AM, some others in Kenton County and elementary school is going to dismiss the twelve thirty many other schools letting individuals go home early. Brian Hambric is in the middle of it all over prowling around northern Kentucky

looking for good video and a good story. And once again Brian Hamrick welcomed again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Brian, how are you good? Thank you again, mister Cunningham. This is one of those days we remember about fifty years ago in nineteen seventy four when you were just a young lad that terrible storms came through took out part of Madara, Saint Gertrude's Salor Park and it was awful. It was terrible, And now everything is set up for

the same thing this afternoon. You're going to be covering that greatly. But I wanted to get you on mainly what happened on Easter Sunday. Of course it was Easter Sunday. It was also Transgender Awareness Day is declared by President Biden, so to celebrate. You had a story at Channel five a day or two ago about hundreds of youths in and around the banks that cost heavy and I wanted to amplify what occurred and how skinny the city is when it

comes to policing. Kind of tell the American people what happened Easter Sunday night into Monday morning. Yeah, I don't think it had anything to do with the Transgender Awareness Day, but it was a group of teens. Now I did hear this was orchestrated on social media, so apparently it was. There was some forefought given to this, according to beliefe. But hundreds, literally hundreds of teenagers, and we're talking from I get around the whole area,

and they're coming down to the banks. And when they get there, Uh, there was no shortage of troublemakers down there. They had the fights breaking out. Uh at least one person pulled where there were reports, but at least one person who pulled a gun showed the weapon down there and then there would be a fight and then that fight and break up, and then this

crowd would move and then uh it would be another fight. At one point they end up in the moor Line loggerhouse uh and and apparently ransacked area and there they go out of there. They're in behind the yardhouse over there. So they're in this Banks area. Police are being called in from other parts of the city and around District one to get down and try and you know,

make sure this doesn't get out of control. So uh they're they're down, you know, basically just keeping an eye because nobody had been shot, nobody had been hurt. They didn't you know, uh uh again have these reports of weapons and all this sort of thing. So they're just trying to get a grip and get this crowd under control. Roll at the Banks. So now they decide they got to move this crowd, so they start moving them northbound up one Rosa Parks, where another fight broke out and they try

to get them to the transit center. That's where they're trying to get them and the hope is they get on the buses and go home. So that was a strategy and that's what they spent most of Easter Sunday night doing you know, Brian. Often these events take place, like on the two or three attacks in and around Government Square and Fountain Square, there was video. But I guess if something happens at ten or eleven PM on a Sunday night early Monday morning, all the TV cameras, shall we say, five nine,

twelve nineteen, you guys and ladies have gone home. You can't get the CCTV cameras out of the city except by an act of Congress and radio mainly we're not in business. There's been little or no reporting of this at all. And is that? Why is that the case? You would think this would be a bigger story to warn individuals about what's happening. And I got Sergeant Dan Hills coming up later talking about many times there's one or two

police cars. That's all there is to police the entire basin of the city of Cincinnati, especially on the Easter Sunday night, And so why hasn't this gotten more play? Well? I think this, I think this caught everybody by surprise. I know most of the stations have a skeleton crew on Sunday night, and generally on a Easter Sunday, it might even be center than

that. So I don't know if this wasn't picked up on the scanners or how because it's something we generally go and shoot these sort of things, and we did. This thing culminated at the end of the evening there was a shooting up one fourteenth and Walnut, which they're looking to see if it's connected or not. But all these teams were headed up Walnut, so it seems, you know, very possible that this was connected to what was going on.

It happened afterwards, but yeah, you know, so I'm not exactly sure we reported it, but a lot of what we had was from the police radio traffic that came out as officers were tracking all this, and the video we didn't have, so we don't have video of this. The video I think exists, although when I was listening to the traffic this radio traffic police sounds like the crime cameras went down or they weren't working when this happened.

I couldn't tell exactly from exactly what I heard, but at one point I know I heard one of the disc factors say we don't have crime cameras, we can't see what's going on, so they were relying on police audio. So I don't know if there was a malfunction with those cameras, if they weren't working beforehand, or if they went down for some reason during that event, or what was going on with that. But so there may not be that video you said. Trying to get that video, it can be

days or weeks before you get it. If you get it, if they decide they want to let loose of it. That's another issue that drives me crazy that we're not able to get, you know, video that I believe belongs to the people. I think we are the people when we ask for it. If it should be ours, it shouldn't be the governments to determine who's the gatekeeper on this video. But that's the way it works right now, and so that's always an issue. I think if everybody had that video,

I think everybody would have covered this thing. But without it, they're like, what do we got? We got some scanner calls from police. We went ahead and did it anywhere because we thought it was, you know, pretty important to let people know the police were estimating you were down there, that we're talking between three and four hundred juveniles down there. I mean, that's a lot of kids running and then the other thing, I thought there was a curfew. I can recall that the city and the Board of

Education has to curfew by ten o'clock you need to be gone. I would assume yesterday was was an off day, spring break or whatever. So they had a lot of independent study. There was a lot of kids had library books with them from the library. They were very concerned and keeping up with their studies. But yeah, isn't there a curfew at ten o'clock. I

think there's a ten o'clock curfew. This was just before that, so they were trying to get out there so they didn't have to do I think they didn't want to have you know, mads headaches with curfew violations, but there were This happened kind of the sparks started at about eight point thirty. That's when this started. They started getting more calls down there on Marrying and around

Small Park in that area, and that's when they started with this. I think the crowd started to grab gather a little bit before that, but the you know, the Reds game had just gotten out, what about four four to thirty down there in the evening, and so there were all those you know, kind of family crowds down there, and now you got this other crowd. But the families all leave and now you know, you're left with

this crowd of teams too. You know, again, I'm not sure what the motivation was for them to come down or why this social media you know, call to go to the park, why that went out and police weren't sure yesterday. I think it's important to let citizens in the tri State know what areas to avoid, what area is not to go to. I'm still it's amazing that Benjamin Addison, a twenty one year old u SEE student. It's about a couple of days ago, about two o'clock in the morning,

thought his lights were on in his car. He goes outside and is murdered up on Highland Avenue, and the u SEE is saying nothing about it. It is a tragedy. I guess a couple of kids are trying to steal his car. There's later on I have Dan Hills coming up talking about the hundreds of vehicles that are stolen every year in the city, and then the thousands of break ins that take place of cars windows are broken in, which is a pain in the neck, but also it could be dangerous and Benjamin

Addison was simply wrong place, wrong time, as families destroyed. And you and I have been around a while, do you think these activities are getting better, getting worse? Are staying the same as far as ever and behavior in and around the UC campings in the small park, Well, I think we're seeing a lot of these. In fact, you know, city council decided they needed to pass the wall that if you leave your gun in the car you can get charged, you know, because a lot of these youth

that's where they're getting their guns. They're going into these cars. So I think we're seeing a lot of these break in and that's the main thing they're looking for. If they get a car they can steal, they'll take that too, but they're really after the guns and that's the supply line. So I think we're seeing a lot of that because of that activity. And I don't know if it's harder forget them to get them, or if it's just easier to steal these guns or or whatever, but that one reason I think

we're seeing it. It's gotten bad enough that the city council, you know, decided they need to pass another wall against it. So it's gotten the attention. You know of folks in city council as well, So I would say, you know, without looking at the date off top the hand, at least that kind of crime seems like it's gotten worse over the last couple of years. And Brian Hamrick, you can say three to five hundred kids

teenagers show up at the same place around the same time. Except for social media, it's not a case for someone at home or in their apartment building says hey, I think I'll take a bus downtown on Easter Sunday night. I just and just all of a sudden, three to five hundred kids show up. Christian Morlane is probably fit to be tied for what happened to them. They don't know what to do. And the other issue is you don't

have enough cops. Two or three cop cars show up, five cop cars show up, and there's five hundred kids running around, massive fighting and guns being displayed. Guess what. The cops are not going to make an a rest. Because they do that, they become the target, right right, That's exactly what I you know. I don't know that they can say that, but I don't think you'd be too far off the base of assuming that they could. I mean, they're going to try and de escalate. They're

not going to try and escalate the situation, you know. And if they just started pulling you know, people out, you know, I think that would have been you know, that could have been a lot worse. I mean, you know, if you look at the way it all panned out, it really went about as well as could be expected, you know, considering the number of crowds and the number of police that were there. You know, I think they got just you know, to a mostly peaceful resolution.

Nobody got hurt, nobody got killed, Nobody got shot that we know of that the shots were fired by the way machine gun style of bullets being rattled off from witnesses that we talked to up near fourteenth and Walnut. However, it didn't appear that anybody got hit by those shots. And the other thing I want to mention you were talking about, you know this this UC student who comes out and checks on his car. Man, here's the thing.

You have got some of these these people who are committing these crimes that do not care. And I mean this is a warning for for all u s. I got three at UC right now, and I've told them the same thing. Do not, you know, engage anybody if they're taking your car, say Cy Andario say nothing. We've got video, and I don't know that we were able to use it. Somebody was working on a special report but showed me the video. I took the video to show to my

kids. Hopefully we can show it on the air. Sometimes I think the case may still be in litigation. In this video and it shows a young kid. This kid looked like he could have just got off the basketball court at some local YMCA. Nice looking kid, doesn't look threatening, doesn't look menacing, doesn't look he looks like a regular kid. You see him get into this car. The view is from apparently the car's owner had a camera and it's facing right at the kid. He gets in. You can see

him, you can see the passenger seat, nobody in there. He gets in. He's looking for a way to get this car started. It looks like and suddenly this calm, mild mannered, you know, schoolboy looking kid

sees somebody coming to the car window. He jumps out of the car with pulls a gun, fires through the window with the person who just came in to look and say hey, that's my car, fires at this person through the window, continues to fire if that person now runs away, then gets out of the car and chases after that person, firing the weapon all the way. I don't know how that story ended. I don't know if the guy got shot, get killed, I don't know what. But this this

person wasn't even well enough just to scare the person off. Their intent was to hit this person with that gun fire. And it was very clear and it was not a person that you know, if you're used to getting in confrontations, this kid would not have, you know, concerned you about getting into a confrontation with him. You'd have gone, okay, kid, get out of the car. You know you're not stealing this one. Wow, this kid had his gut food out so fast and firing off. It was

It was scary. Like I said, I took it home to show my kids to say, look, this is why I'm saying, you see somebody in your car, don't go over there and try and get them out or say hey, say nothing, let them take the car, take whatever's in it, you know, but it's pretty scary how fast this happened. I don't know that there's any video or that we'll ever see what happened to this, to this latest incident. But that's how fast this stuff can happen.

Now, you tell young folks, let them have it whatever it is. As you can replace a Ford pickup, you can't replace a kid's life. And Benjamin Addison is dead and uh there's no uh, no family life, there's no parent, there's no father. Juvenile court today is a revolving door. Judge Kerry bloom Hamny County Juvenile Court has a view about criminal justice that means don't arrest, don't put him in jail. It only gets worse. You're arrested, picked up, go to juvenile court, nothing happens, you're

released on our bond. Your case is CRD, no problem, No one's locked up. And that's the world in which we live. But uh, well, once again, Brian Hamrick, I know you're chasing storms this afternoon, but the message to those in and around Clifton or anywhere in the Tri State is let them have the property that can be replaced, but a human life cannot. And Brian Hammrick wants you go ahead. Yeah, I know that they are some of these folks and you might get one that gets scared

away. But I'm just saying that I've seen you know, video, we see this kid, We've seen this happen and it's just not worth it. It's just not worth you know. Whatever you have in there can be replaced, including the car, and they may even get the car back. So yeah, that's what I've told you that my boys who are all at U see Sadam have it said, take off with it, don't worry about it, We'll get it back. And the silence from you see is deafening.

Nothing zada nothing. Once again, Brian Hamrick, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you again, mister Cunningham. Brian Hamrick. The best there is the Power five. Let's continue with more coming up later as more reports on the weather. Schools are closing throughout the Tri statee On news radio seven hundred WULW, listening to a woman shop in the produce section isn't funny? Yeah, a sail on cucumbers listening to a woman poot next

to the Grannie Smith's ooops is funny. Eddie and Rocky are also funny. So when you think of an apple farter oops, think of Eddie Rocky, Eddie and Rocky this afternoon at three one, seven hundred w Eldam if you have uneven or sunken zybell at ACR, Gunny Pools and Spas. I know the weather right now is not so good, but this summer is going to be hotter than the hinges of Hell. Call today, swim this year ACR, Gunny POOLSANSPAS dot com and so much more. Let's get into it.

You know, the great Americans been here for a long time speaking truth to power. Some thirty years ago or so, President William Jefferson Clinton, Democrat elected twice, by the way, never got fifty percent of the vote either time, but nonetheless proposed, and it was widely accepted that we need one hundred thousand more cops, that crime was and is rampant, and that many cities were strapped at the at the treasury and they had no more money to

pay for more cops. So Bill Clinton and the great majority of Democrats and Republicans in the House of the Senate passed a bill that funded, for a five year period, one hundred thousand more cops. All one had to do was apply, and the City of Cincinnati applied, and other municipalities applied, deputy sheriffs, sheriff's office could apply, and one hundred thousand cops were hired.

And then five years later they were largely kept and more effort was made because the Democratic approach was we need more cops, need more good judges, need more jails, need more insane asylums, because right now we're in trouble. Thank god, Cincinnati is about ten years behind other cities. But what you just heard from Brian Hamrick is indicative of what's coming. Got a couple

of texts from friends of mine and it's not hot yet. And by the way, school was more or less not in session on Easter Sunday night when three to five hundred kids using social media decided to assemble downtown and shots fired. Lots of fights broke broke out, businesses ransacked. Because it wasn't because of the time day it happened, there wasn't much media coverage because the media went home. How would you know what happened. And for those who may

have a racial angle, let me say this. The great majority of crimes in the city of Cincinnati, or in the city of Dayton, or any city are committed by young black males, while the great majority of young black males want nothing to do with crime. If there was five hundred kids down there acting up, fighting and ransacking businesses on Sunday night, five hundred, that means just in the CPS system, there were twenty two thousand at home

doing something else. It's a small defined number that have nothing at home to live for, no fathers, no academic achievement has ever demanded. Socially, debaucherous behavior is the norm, and breaking into cars, which is perceived as a parking ticket anymore, is not a big deal. We need more cops, a lot more cops, a lot more jails, but most importantly, we need judges willing to send individuals to jail for committing wrongful acts. It's

kind of like the broken windows theory. You deal with the small stuff and the big stuff may not transpire, including the murder of that UC student, and that that is sick and sad. But when I talk to those in and around the police department, they will tell you that the new popular crime is breaking into cars, breaking into win They're stealing cars and using them for

robberies or whatever, and shootings all over the city. It's bad it's terrible, and it's not true that since downtown Cincinnati is safe, it is not safe to go to a Reds game, the Bengals game, FC go to the air and off. Yeah, to go to OTR for dinner and get out before seven eight o'clock at night. Sure, it's fine, but I don't want to see my city go down the route of Saint Louis, Portland or Chicago, which is the course that we're on. More cops, more

jails, better judges, and dealing early with crime. We have a current system in place in Hamiy County Juvenile Court with Judge Carry Bloom, a public defender who does not want to lock up juveniles for almost anything. It's got to be a murder or a rape, and even a rape doesn't get you locked up. She had a case a couple of years ago, had Joe dieters On talking about it, in which a seventeen year old boy raped a fourteen year old. Now you would think that would be bound over to adult

court. No, she refused. And there's no power on earth that can get that person bound over if the juvenile court judge says no. And so the rapist was in the close proximity to the rape victim, because Judge Cary Bloom thought that wasn't a problem. And so until we have the three legs of the stool working in unison number one are good cops. Number two good prosecutors, number three good judges. We need all three. If one leg of the stool falls, the whole thing collapses. Right now, juvenile court

system in Hamley County is collapsed. He goes. The judges there do not want to put juveniles in jail. It starts a process of the pipeline to prison, which is a popular theme among liberal Marxist sources. As a younger attorney, I spent decades in Hamley County Common Police Court and also in Room

May. Room Ay is the place where anywhere in Hamley County, from Springdale to Loveland, to Sycamore Township, or to the city of Cincinnati, persons arrested by the police would show up the next morning, and the cutoff was four am to get on the docket, to have a bond set, and the way you go. And if it was a serious crime, the bond was set so high the criminal could not get out. That's called consequences. Recently, but five or six months ago, had an occasion with a had

a friend in trouble. I don't practice law much anymore. I went back to Room ay and at a nine am to get a bond set and I walked in and I was shocked by what I saw. David Wood is the long term Haminy County Assistant prosecutor that controls the dock in in Room Ay. I walked up to David and said, Dave, what's going on? He said, what do you mean? I said, it's ten to nine. Where is everybody? He says, the way things are. If you see

camera shots of criminals walking up to get a bond set. Behind them, there's a glass partition and you can see into the audience, there's like nobody there. I said, where is every where? Is it? He said, well, we don't have we don't have the business. We once did. Talk to coppers, police officers. They tell you that we're not chasing kids down out hallways anymore. I'm not chasing some kid in the alleyway. I'm not going to be pulling over individuals and searching their car. I'm not

doing that. Coppers will tell you that they don't arrest large numbers of people anymore for crime because their political leaders don't want it done. If you're in the city of Cincinnati, the great majority of individuals put over for criminal violations slash traffic offenses are African Americans, and they don't want to deal with it.

And the leadership in the black community gets angry when black folks are pulled over for committing traffic violations which lead to something else, to something else, to something else. So the reason cops are not pulling individuals over, that doesn't mean crime isn't happening. Cops are not chasing individuals in and around streets all la Steven Roach style. That's not happening anymore. And there's a sense

that there's no reason by police officers to arrest individuals because nothing happens. They're out of jail before the paperwork is completed, because there's a sense there's only about six or seven of the fourteen common Police court judges that are hard sentencers. The great majority are not. They don't want to lock up individuals who commit crime to keep them from committing more serious crime. Don't want to do

it. And so whenever you hear a politician say or a news commentator, crime is down bs, crime is not down, arrest are down, sensing is down. Reporting to the FBI that has national statistics is way down. I shared with you the story. I'm going to share it again headline twenty nine percent of US law enforcement agencies do not submit data to the FBI.

So whatever you hear about crime being down, watch listen to this. Major police departments, including those in big cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Boston, did not submit any data in twenty twenty one to the FBI. NYPD said it couldn't submit summary statistics in twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three because of a computer problem. And it's a problem, by the way, in red and blue states. It's also a local issue.

If you're in a blue city in Florida, you do not want to submit crime statistics if anyone gets arrested to the FBI because it makes your polical leaders look bad. So crime is not down. Catching criminals is down, arrest are down, sentencing is down, but crime is up. But you can't get these facts and statistics from the mainstream media because they're invested in the success of liberals and progressives. You'll not have this Cincinnati Inquiry do a story

on what happened Sunday night in downtown Cincinnati. I have the website up, there's no reference to it at all. Where crimes committed absolutely burglary, B and E assaults, weapons attempt at felonious assaults could have been one hundred charged. But police aren't going to arrest because there's too much of a hassle. And secondly, the media doesn't want to promote the idea that it's dangerous in the city of Cincinnati certain times of the day and night. They simply don't

want to do it. So when you see students are shot, when there are thousands and thousands of car breakings every year. When in Madisonville story in the inquirrex months ago that there's twenty to thirty car break ins every weekend in Madisonville, car break ins are like you used to be serious. Now it's

like a parking ticket. Nothing happens. Go down a room, a look around and find a few people sitting in the seats and the dockets are done by ten thirty eleven o'clock in the morning, when it used to go to one o'clock. The police are not arresting criminals. That's why crime is down, and the police don't want to do that because it's a hassle. They're not supported their political leaders tell them, don't do it. And the cops, thank god, are not going to put themselves at risk of a lifetime

scarlet a on their chest. They if the arrest goes wrong somehow, which it often does, things go awry and split second manner, and so police aren't arresting, judges are not sentencing, and prosecutors have a little work to do. Prosecutors that at least we have a functional county prosecutor's office because of Melissa Powers and Joe Eaters. They want to prosecute criminals, but they will tell you that cops are not arresting criminals anymore. There's too much crime.

And by the way, Cincinnati cops could use another two or three hundred and Charmaine McGuffey, the fine sheriff of Hamley County, will tell you that she could use another fifty to one hundred corrections officers. Who wants to be a cop in this environment to make fifty sixty thousand dollars a year as the correction officer? Are you kidding me? Working odd shifts dealing with the criminal element inside the jail, most of whom are been sentenced and are on their way

up north somewhere for long sentences. And other than that, the jail is not particularly filled with criminals because police are not arresting criminals, and they don't arrest because their political leadership tell them it's not required. We lived in a time in the nineteen nineties when Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party wanted to treat

crack cocaine the same as powder cocaine. The Democratic Party is the one that said, we need to treat them the same because our communities are being devastated. So Democrats thirty some years ago talk like Donald Trump when it came to the southern border in the crime I've played before the comments in their own words of Barack Hussein Obama as a senator in twenty six and twenty oh seven, we talked about shutting down the southern border. We have to get control of

immigration, we have to crack down on law breakers. That was Obama and Biden, and since then, since they got into power, they know where their bread is buttered, and they said, well, we're going to change this around completely, and you might recall. In seven eighth, nine to ten, Barack Houssein Obama said, we need to fundamentally transform America from this to what? From this to that? I'm not sure what that would mean, fund and only transforming. It's sick and it's Brian Combs. You're in

here. What's going on, Briank Combs, Mike right there. The National Weather Service has been talking about these storms all day. We're starting to pick up a lot more cancelations. Just got to know from the Hamilton County Parks they are closing all their visitor centers, closing all the golf courses today for the safety, they say of staff and guests, so effective immediately the park's golf courses or visitor centers are shutting down. We've had a number of schools

start the process of sending kids home early. They don't want to get them caught on the bus if the storms hit this afternoon and roll through as expected. We've been watching a line of storms that have been approaching pretty quickly out of the south and west. At this point, no weather watches or warnings for the tri State, though that could change at any time. But yeah, a lot of places are starting to close down early even write Patterson Air

Force Base today. The US Air Force is shutting down. They decided to send people home two hours early just so that they don't have them stuck in the buildings. If we get the kind of weather they're is it going to happen? I want to know, is this real or is it memorized? I think the next several hours were probably going to be Okay, we'll see thunderstorms roll through, but it doesn't at this point look like things are going

to get to the severe level. If they roll through and the sun comes back out now things heat up, and another round of storm hits, you know, late this afternoon, early this evening, then we might have a serious problem. Well, at this point nothing, but it's time to panic because what you're saying, a little bit of flooding the concerns right now. But the storm's coming up from the south and west. Don't appear to be

at the severe level yet, but be prepared. Yeah, I mean there's warmer around here than it was when they moved through southern Indiana, So we'll see. We'll see what happens. Plus, tonight's going to be a low. Don't go to the golf course Hamilin County Arks closed. Can you play by yourself anytime you want? All right now, lastly, I'm glad you're here. Brian comes Benjamin Addison, same story. Have you heard from you

see yet? You know? I sent any email early this morning to the media relations person public safety department asking if they have sent out any kind of a warning or any kind of notice the students to be extra cautious, you know, going to the cars, especially late at night, after what happened to that Turpngrad who was a junior at UC He lived locally, was still living at home, wasn't living on campus, but was visiting friends over the

weekend when this happened. And no, I have not heard an email or response back from the University of Cincinnati yesterday. I've been watching their their public safety page, been watching their their Facebook, their ex posts, anything like

that. The only thing I've been able to find on the Internet associated with mister Addison is comments that have come from other people who wonder why there hasn't been any attention given to this case by the university to call attention to what happened to him and to warn others about the potential front killer page Ess went down to it a friend or so. Yeah, he was spending the weekend or at least I guess Saturday night Friday night with with buddies who go to

UC as well. And texted his mom and dad said, you know, I'm not going to come home tonight and with my friends, going to stay here. The dad was like, you know, if you need a ride, we'll come get you. If he'd been out, you know, partying on if he just turned twenty one, he said, no, I'm all right, you know, I'm going to stay here. I love you Mom and dad, see you tomorrow. Then that was the last contact they had. Then they had the knock on the door. Yeah, it's awful,

it's awful. Well, Brian Combs, thank you. I know we'll be on top of it at least through midnight and it's time to panic. All. Let's continue with more and if a line becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand, I'm going to put a call in the Sergeant Dan Hills, retired FOP, and I want to ask, how do you find the murderers, the cold blooded killers who put Benjamin Addison in his grave when there's seemingly a random act violence, and how do

you go about how does homicide go about to locate the killers? I bet you a dollar to Krispy Kreme donut that the perpetrators had routinely broken the cars, committed other crimes. Perhaps they were caught in juvenile court system does nothing with perpetrators who commit felonies.

We continue to follow the weather which is happening all over the Tri

State. A lot of weather reports coming thither and fro because these could spawn these ugly tornadoes. A lot of schools have shut down by this point and others are releasing early. So we'll see what happens. And if there's a crisis, I fully understand we will exploit it for ratings purposes whenever we can. So we're going to scare the crap out of you, whether it's warranted

or not. But until then, we have Sergeant Dan Hills, retired since Anti Police Division, the Sergeant Hills, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Dan, how are you, Willie. I'm doing great and it's good to be on again. I want to talk with you about the murder of Benjamin Addison, twenty one years old. He's a librarian at U SEE. He's one of the orientation counselors. He's a good kid. He's in

finance. Only son, a mother and a father, and the story about the mother and the father when they got the knock on the door was just heartbreaking. He was doing nothing wrong up on Highland Avenue by Channel twelve, and he thought he'd lift his lights on in his car. I guess a couple of young folks had broken into the car and the lights came on. He thought, well, what's that did I leave money, goes outside and within within a few seconds he's shot and killed in cold blood, but by

two murderers who simply wanted to take his property. And some have said I talked to Brian Combs about this in the newsroom. It's going to be dropped because there's so many shootings. There's going to be what three hundred and fifty to four hundred people shot in the city of Cincinnati. There's going to be seventy to ninety homicides throughout the tri State. There's more mayhem taking place.

Not the only localw has it But as a police officer, when you have little or no cameras and it's happening at night, like at two am on Saturday morning, a couple shots fired Benjamin Addison, his life means little to the University of Cincinnati because they've issued no statements. There's requirements under federal law that these college campuses must give warnings and must give updates. None of that's

happening because it happened off campus. So, as a police officer of some thirty five years, how do you begin the process of finding murderers who have done this? I would suggest repeatedly at least breaking into car stealing, because Judge Kerry Bloom and Hamley County Juvenile Court does not consider it to be a serious crime until it metastasizes to murder. How do you go about finding one or two people at two o'clock in the morning who shot this Benjamin Addison,

this UC student. Well, Lily, we're really blessed here in Cincinnati, and this has been for decades now. We have really high closure rates with our homicide unit. We got great folks there. We got great, great folks that work as criminalist in the city of Cincinnati, and that tradition has survived, like I said, decades, and it's still good. So let's start there. We got a crime scene, we go into a crime scene.

You know, back in my day it was all about fingerprints, but nowadays it's fingerprints and there's DNA too, So we're looking for those things because

if somebody's in a data then maybe we can solve a crime easily. But beyond that, and the way these things were often solved, I was never in homicide, by to work downstairs from them in a place called personal crimes, where we investigated rapes and crimes against kids, and I used to love going up and watching the really best at interviews and some of the best in

the city where the older detectives that had been in homicide. And the way that I often seen and heard tales of how the homicides were solved was often getting information from others who had been arrested recently, maybe shortly after the homicide, a week after the homicide, if it still hasn't been solved to that point, because if the word gets about out on the street, then you can have something hanging over somebody's head. And you know, Willie, you

know you and I are good buddies. But if you and I are both facing some time in jail and you heard that I did something really serious and you did something that's less serious, you might get tempted to give in your give up your trend Dan to possibly to possibly get to skate on whatever it is that Willy's been locked up for. And that's one of the ways that

I've saw them breakcases. Back in the day when I was in criminal investigation section, and when I would hear about the homicide that when I was on the street that I was one of the first responders to, we'd hear that, you know, a couple of days later that something broke and the homicide people were looking for so and so, and that was usually the information they got from others. Let's call them bad guys right now. Bad guys do bad things other than that, So you got a little DNA. I assume

there's no cameras available. If there is, i'd be great. I don't say that, because Willie, everybody's got cameras. Now you got to doordace cameras and all that stuff. You know, they still haven't solved, and it's very sad they still insolved the case of the landscaper, right, and what's that now that year year and a half or two years old, I'm not sure, but they do have some video of that murder and thud uh I think from people's ring doorbell cameras or something. So there are cameras all

over in the city, you know, my guess. Even though, like I said, there's that sad case with the landscaper, and I think they're still I think you're hopefully going to close in on the garbage man that was

was assassinated and and this one too. I'm gonna be hopeful because, like I said, we got great homicide investigators in the city of Cincinnati, and the case of the landscaper is definitely uh the rarity you know when sometimes when bad guys are killing bad guys and nobody talks, maybe it never gets to the point where we lock somebody up. But usually usually the innocent uh,

victims are are are those cases are solved. But then it's way too late and will It's way too late for this fine young man's mom and dad. It's way too late for anybody that is is relatively innocent that gets caught up in this this this unbelieve aivable you know, conditions that we find our society in. And and really I don't know this is you wanted to talk about a homicide, but I want to talk about law and order in general,

because I think that's how we get to homicide. You know, we had you know, kids running around downtown and Irishirly says we need to buy them a movie theater. That was kind of funny. But uh, you know, we ourselves, we got ourselves a problem. And the problem is nobody wants to tell the truth anymore. That's a big problem in society, a big problem in government. Nobody wants to say that, you know, the most important government, the one that's most natural is the two parents household that

that that works. And without that, without these stable homes and these kids running the streets and running their own lives, it makes it really difficult on law enforcement, especially the micromanagement that law enforcements under nowadays, the Monday morning quarterback that that the you know, the city and media others provide when officers are out there against this. This title wave of of of kids was no grounding because they didn't have any grounding at home. You know, a story

I believe I told before on the radio. I tell again, I can tell it because my dad's been passed away for twenty five years. I don't think I have to worry about and pull them up out of the ground and prosecuting here whatever. But Green Township police one day took home my brother John from from uh stealing out of cars up at Saint HUDs Bingo. They brought they brought him home and they didn't charge him it into anything because they believed

that maybe that my dad could handle the situation. Willie, let me tell you, my dad handled the situation. When my brother finally made it up to the bedroom, there was blood, right, yeah. And Iris Rowley wants movie theaters. Iris Rowlie, who's one of the leaders. She wants movie theater. Give the kids something to do? How about bowling? Haven't

I seen the Star? Instead of providing them a stable home where there is authority and where they learn respect and self respect, which my brother learned. You know, I could tell you that he turned out to be a fine man. He retired from the military. He still is a workingman down in Florida. But he learned a lesson about respect and self respect that night that these kids don't learn because if a policeman engages as these kids, by god, if they have to use force or whatever, then Irish Roly, who

the city hired, just blows my mind. But the city hired Irish Roly, She'll quickly flip back and start telling, uh, you know, everybody, how terrible the police is. That she was able to make her name and fame for years by condemning the police. So you know, our policemen are caught in a uh, you know, they're caught in a no win situation. They can't deal with these tidal wave of kids that come downtown and oliver. They have trouble dealing with the break ins and all those things.

Maybe not every kid that's breaking into a car is prepared to kill somebody, but eventually maybe some of them obviously get there right after a while. After a while, if there are no standards, if there is no law, if there is no borters of what you're allowed to do, if there's no lines that you have to stay within, next thing, you know, you have so much disrespect, not only disrespect for other people's stuff, you have

so much disrespect that you disrespect somebody else's life. And so now there's this young man who was doing the right things, who was going to be a helpful part of society. He's no longer with us, and so you see, he has a terrible dilemma. Do they talk honestly about what's going up there? Really? I sent my son up to U See, couldn't afford to send him up to Oxford, So he went up to you see, he was living on Ohio Avenue, and one night he called me, is

the day of the people? They were arguing outside. So I looked outside and guess thing, next thing I know, there were shots fired in that case. I don't think anybody was good at their their aim so much. But still he ended up going out and talking to police and told him everything

that that that he'd seen, you know. And that's that that actually didn't make me very happy, you know that I hear, I'm sending my son up to college and letting him live up there around the other kids, and he's in a little bit of danger because of the fact that people have so much back to the disrespect and so much disrespect for each other that an argument

could turn into shots fired. That they have so much disrespect for one another that they're going to take each other's stuff all the time, breaking the cars, breaking the houses, and if somebody tries to stop them, they'll even take away their life. And that's what happened here. Really, somebody took away, took away this young man's life, and it's disgusting and I think I think you See needs to come to grips with it. I think the

city of Cincinnati needs to come to grips with it. We need to start hiring more. We had the lawmakers, counselmen and everything else that are going to stand by the police and say, look, apparently, society, you're not taking care of your kids. You don't have the stable environment that teaches them right from wrong. So our police are going to go out there and

they're going to handle it, and we're going to back them. Even if that arrest does look all peachy and kind, it doesn't matter because you put our police in the situation where they have to be the mom the day had and everything else, and we need our courts to back the police and and good luck lock up these kids. Yeah, I know. Luck, we haven't hit rock bottom. We're gonna have to hit rock It's gonna get worse.

And I had on Brian Hamrick about an hour ago and Sunday night, Easter Sunday night, there was three to five hundred kids in Schmail Park, shots fired, many fights breakout, Christian morline running into those businesses, eating food off plates, turning over chairs and tables, and you've got three or four cop cars show up saying we need help get down here. And you can have three or four cop cars with three or four police officers with three

to five hundred kids. All they want to do is get them out of there, don't care about the crime committed. And I would point out that I had on iron iron Etta Wright, who's the superintendent of CPS, and she said the majority of black males are chronically absent from school. And so when you get to be twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old, no consequences. You're raised by the street, by the culture, and by the music. You look at life differently than someone black, white or otherwise

who grew up in Butler County or grew up in Boone County. Things are different and there's no consequences. We have a Juvenile Court judge Carrie Bloom and common Police Court judges otherwise who don't want to lock up these kids because it sends the wrong message about incarceration instead of graduation. And when you have majority

of black kids not attending classes, especially as high schoolers. What happens when you're thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, you're functionally illiterate, you flunk all your tests running around the streets. What's going to happen when you're twenty three, twenty four to twenty five. That's the issue. And until we address that issue, this other stuff's not going to amount to hell of beans. Oh, we know the answer. We know what happens in when they're twenty two

to twenty three. They're already hard to criminals, and they don't have any respect for themselves as I was talking about before, or respect for others or their property, and they end up in as a lifetime you know, client of the system, in and out of jail, in and out of jail, to the point where these dockets are so full the prosecutors can't really caltrate

them. Even the good judges are having trouble keeping people locked up because the state doesn't have room to keep all the people locked up, and they definitely don't have room down here in the Hamley County so again, until we get politicians to start believing in law and order, we got a long way to go. I hate to say it to a rock bottom. And I don't even know what happened at rock bottom. I think I've seen maybe you can

tell me. I think I've seen a little bit of pro law and order candidates speaking up from time to time in Detroit have many decades of the city of the city being destroyed. Finally a couple of people are like a light bulb coming on. Saint Louis is the other example of you know, rock bottom or near rock bottom. And how many other cities are rushing to rock bottom because they believe the whole you know, the fund, the police, bunch of cred and and the Seattle scrap cred uh uh, Seattle, Portland

uh and so many others are are are rushing towards rock bottom. What happens at rock bottom with our society? And and and how can a how can a city like sincenat, say, Bible, who who's going to want to go to dinner downtown? I've seen some of the video of of of of

these kids fighting. There was some stuff that had went on about a month ago, and can imagine trying to walk down with the people's judge down the sidewalk and all of a sudden there's there's thirty forty youth, uh, you know, in a rolling fits fight and in front of you, and you know, you don't know if their dext target might be you, and and and the misses it's it's it's something that is is airing up the city financially.

Uh. And it's it's it's it's a it's a train wreck. And and why the people city Cincinnati continue to vote the same democratic waves they over and over again. And it's just it's it's darn near hopeless. And I don't like using that word. Will Well, lastly, I would say this, the face of crime in Cincinnati is largely a black face. But the great majority of black kids have nothing to do with crime. And we're dealing

with the define number. Joe Dieter said, the numbers between five hundred and one thousand out of tens of thousands, and so, but we are incapable of building enough prisons or enough insane asylums for the homeless to how so that society can advance. It's and I love when the politicians I'm watching MSNBC this morning, so you don't have to Sergeant Dan Hills, and they have another story about about crime. Crime is down, So I'm reading this other story

which will not get play. Politicians love to cite crime data. It's wrong. Quote. Only seventy one percent of US law enforcement agencies submitted crime data to the FBI in twenty twenty three. It goes on to say that large cities have been taught politically do not submit crime data. Major police departments, including Los Angeles, New York, and Boston did not submit any data in

twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two. NYPD said it couldn't submit summary statistics because their computer did not mesh up with the nib RS certified computer that the FBI has. And to go deeper into the story, it says oftentimes relying on FBI data, which tends to be outdated and wrong, gives politicians the opportunity to pat themselves on the back. So when Willie, what is it?

What's the quote about liars and statistic statisticians? Yeah, you're, you're, You're going into a series of things that tells us that in the end, all they got to do is come up with the statistics. Things are good, things are people are They can they can they can see here, feel and smell when things aren't good. And things aren't good in Cincinnati right now. And you know all you have to do is talk to anybody that's

living an end of the neighborhoods that we've talked about. Our cars are constantly getting broke into. Uh, they see fights on the street. To hear gunfire right now, you talk about something that just makes you feel kind of kind of ichy about your neighborhood when you're trying to lie imbed it. You hear gunfire going on. Not good. That's not a talent, that's not that's not good. It's like gun smoke. It's it's gun smoke. It's like, oh my god. And the problem is Iris Rowley says, we

need to have downtown movie theaters and things for kids to do. Yeah, that's what we need. We need absolutely up a lot of money, just like just like that, just like that. It's just like that Petties guy on Vine Street. He had all that money to put together a theater and rent off with the dough. Well until family structure exists, or prosecutors and judges lock up the define limited number of kids committing these crimes. It will

continue, Dan Hills. I know you're celebrating the fallout of Transgender Awareness Day, which was on Easter Sunday, declared by the President. And maybe those kids down to Smell Park Sunday night were all so celebrating Transgender Awareness Day. Maybe that was the cause of the gunfire and the celebration. We'll see. I don't think they were celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and saviors, so maybe that's what they were celebrating, Transgender Awareness Day. That's what's going on,

all right, Sergeant Dan Hills. Thanks for your perspective. Let's do it again. Thank you, you bet will. Let's continue with more five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand plus. We continue to follow the weather. Can I say any more loudly? We need more jails and more cops to lock up the offenders and to save society from collapse. On news Radio seven hundreds WLW, I feel the brotherly love. The fall is per luck. He'll be in test for our natty Batters.

And catch the call live from Philadelphia today at five forty one, seven hundred WL and seven hundred wlw's live stream of the iHeart Radio. Men, this is Jeff for Tri State Men's Health, and you've heard me continues two to one, blow ball and Field pretty well hit Merrickfield

going back. It is god a grand slam for Spencer Steer and the Reds have busted and open here in the tenth they're on top, six to two. No Grand Slam for Specer Steer. Let's hope that. Oh hello, by I'm I'm broadcasting seguent to John Crooks say and the Phillies broadcast no Grand slams for Spencer Steer. Next pitch, Bye bye, Loretta. It's amazing how many times the announcer says he's not missed a free throw this year. Boom Well, Dan Hicks at the huston an open Sunday, Scott Scheffler five

feet away, He's got it made. He hasn't missed. What happens? Boom had had missed a five footer since he was fifteen. Happened here? Hasn't it a grand slam his entire career correct pitch boom. Let's give credit where credit is due, Willie, because a few years ago one Nick Krawl

was running the baseball team and he made that trade. He sent Tyler Malley, who to THEE to the Minnesota Twins for one Spencer Steer Christian and Carnassi on Strand and some other guy what bingo now haws that one worked out. Tyler Maley hadn't pitched in a regular I mean, oh see, yeah, he's hurt. He went to the Twins and it was like, okay, and you're thinking, who's this Steer dude? Who's this guy with a kyphen name? Never hit a home grand slam? Johnny Crook? Thank you?

Well, when you put one right there, you could hit that one out of Citizens Bank Park last night? Are you thinking a sneak of fastball by by one? The account was two and one. He had to throw a strike and guess what he did and went and went over the fence and the people went nuts. Now, secondly, your friends and the Biden administration still celebrating, you know, Transgender Awareness Day along with fifty seven other we're still

celebrating. How insensitive are you. How insensitive? Are you? Sorry? If you identify as a woman, do I have to call you? What? Segi pew? I'm not sure, but according to the title area your arena. Yeah, the Biden administration is now are you Wilma Wilma? Remember one of my favorite TV shows of all time, Wilma? But segment yeah. Biden administration wants to a men title nine to allow gender to identify men to play as women. If you're identify as a female, that makes you

a female. Look down below? Are your male or female? I think it looks like I'm a male, but I think I'm a female. So according to Joe Biden, According to Joe Biden, if you're a male and you identify as a female, you can play college sports starting July first, I asked you a question. Yeah. God bless Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark. It was good. For the first time in my life, I sat down to watch a women's college basketball game, and that was good. I'm

glad it happened. I didn't care who won, but Caitlyn Clark scored forty one points. What happens, according to Andy Furman, if Caitlyn Clark declares for the NBA Draft or should we take it in the first round or the

second round? The only issue is Caitlin Clark for the NBA draft. Will he the stood reporters approach service of a local tem Star Heating get air conditioning dealers Temstar qually you could feel the beautiful Western Hills called derbt Heating and Cooling at five one, three, five nine, eight four forty nine or go to Dervit Heating and Cooling dot com segment. I'll say this and it may

cause controversy, which I hate to do. As you know. Yeah, if you take the Deer Park High School undefeated boys state championship team of twenty eighteen, yes, sir, and put Steve Gentry Junior or Mark Wise or Demonti MacIntyre or Joe Hawker or Jalen Rose, any one of those five guys, and say you guard Caitlin Clark. And by the way, these guys did a dunk line, an alley oop dunk line in which they're dunking the ball basketball, jumping out of the gym, running like a deer up and

up and about. OK, what would happen if that team teed it up against Caitlin Clark and Iowa because Joe Biden wants it to happen. Probably be no contest. How about an alley oop. Yeah, the answer is I mean it's a problem, but I say this, it's great for women's sports, right and leave it to leave it there, strap it. That's what it is. But Joe Biden says men can play women's sports starting in July

in the NCAA Final Four, Willie is in Cleveland. They're gonna get great ratings this weekend because you got NC State and thirty six and oh South Carolina playing in the first game. Then the second game is Iowa and Yukon. Iowa was there with Caitlin Clark. Gino rim Is there for the record twenty third time in the final four. Impaulse yukon how many great players does that

guy had? All of them? Now, I have a text here from I won't use his full name, but the first name is ed. I do not believe that you watched the same game last night because that girl made shots that were absolutely unbelievable. That's correct. Put someone six foot four on her that jumps out of the gym. Guess what they're blocking her shots with their armpits much less their hands and arms. They don't get but see and

I'll give you credit. Segment on this one. Jim Stall, the legendary Purcell High School basketball Dave Minor knows all, Sycamore Athletic director told me Manda man eyeball to eyeball, yeah, that the w NBA champions would beat a good high school boys team. And I said, no way. But Jim Stall, who knows all about basketball, Riker agrees with Ed. I disagree. Segment Where do you stand? Willie? We also want to thank Lears

meet? Leave it that way, Leave it alone. Red's found another way to win last night, Willy, of course, beating those fills, those fighting phills and ten ining six to three. When Spencer Steer ripped that grand slam by the way, he's never hit one off of Connor Brogdon, never hit one. And let's see Andrew Abbott went into pitched into the sixth inning,

Alexis Diaz earned the win. How about that inning in two thirds with two strikeouts and inn TJ and Tone fans Bryce Harper with two on to end it tonight, Graham Ashcraft coming off that toat toe surgery in the off season, you get choked up? Just talk face off against Spencer Turnbull. How about this ed the landscaper says she was beyond the NBA three point line. Now are you sure about that? Because the three point line was messed up in Portland and was which is stupid. That is a that is a mark

against the NCAA right there that they can't get the right. I mean, come on, I love women, right to like to love more women. But women and men are different. But we're equal. We're equal, but we're different. Say do you agree or disagree? Yes? Please continue the Kelsey Chevrolet Extra ning show after the game. What about Patrick Kelsey? What about him? Oh, he said he's in lovill. Houston wins for the first time this season. Willie and Fine Fashion, Rodell Blanco tossing a no

hitter last night Astro's route to Toronto Blue Jay's ten nil. You know, I saw Astro pitchers have a total of eleven no hitters in there. That's a seventeenth no hitter in Astro history. That's pretty good, isn't it. I would say, so, the Reds have had one perfect game. Yeah, but I would assume many no hitters. That's correct. Well, he got Johnny Vandermere back to back. He got h I've seen Tom Severs, Tom Siver, he got a few. I mean, but ibout clop our

head. One perfect game from dearly departed Tom Browning, the great number thirty two correct. Women's National Final semi finals. Willie now set Cleveland seven o'clock on Friday thirty six, and oh South Carolina against NC State than at nine o'clock, Iowa battles Yukon. Who do you like there? I like Iowa. I love for Carolina's I think, And then who Iowa and Yukon? Who you're talking about a clash of the Titans. It'd be interesting to see

ratings. I bet more Americans watched the women and the men. I would say, so, can you name one player on North Carolina State men's team. My point. I was thinking, that's my point. Let's see a Cincinnati Bearcats are losing one player while get gaining another. Victor Lochin is off to the transfer portal. Gizzl James is going to return for his sophomore season. Who Gizzl James? What's that? He's a player on the Bearcats.

Oh, Kentucky Basketball's Reed Shepard has been tabbed the twenty twenty three to twenty four National Association of broad Basketball Coaches National Freshman of the Year from the Cats. How about this, but Bengals offensive lineman Cordell Volson getting a little get a little up in the in the bank account. He is receiving the fourth

biggest pay pump via the NFL's performance based system. Volsan's gonna pocket nine hundred and five thousand dollars and he gets extra pay for being the bengals full time starting left guard. That system in the National Football League tabulates playing time compared to salary and adjust on a player to player basis about that? What about Joe Burrow? I think he's doing okay. Now, going back to basketball stub Hub. Stub Hub the minimum ticket price for the five men's Final four

in Phoenix five hundred and seventy one dollars. If you want a ticket to the final the Final four in Cleveland nine hundred and seventy dollars, I'd rather watch it on TV. I'm doing what to tell you? See what else? I think? That's about it. There's Sam Weish talking again. I don't know what to tell you. But Cleveland's got the women's final four, Willie, that's big. Didn't Cincinnati? Didn't we have the final four women's at some point in the nineteen eighties. I believe so yeah, I think

so yeah. I vaguely remember going. I remember also remember the Davis Cup came here to play. That happened. Yeah. They had some great events, like the gardens, Cincinnati Gardens had some incredible events. Hockey Barn of Bedlam. That's it should have been, should have cyclone? Should have ever left there? Joe Biden, the Democrats want to ruin women's sports, and I say, don't do it, leave it alone, leave it alone. They don't want to. They just leave something alone. Can we let alone?

No? No, everything has to be politicized right now, right everything. I'm tiring of politics. What about you me too, Give me out of the student's report. Coming up next is Keith Faber, the state auditor, about a billion dollars that has been located in the state offers. I want to find out what what the hell's going on with Keith Faber finding a billion dollars of your money? Segment? Now give me out of this. Give it to me. You'd like to get a billion? When you?

Yeah? WILLI and unter a Spencer Steer in the Red Legs? How will they win? Tonight? We leave you with the immortal words of the stew report. Steer readies from Brogden. The pitch to the plate, rip high, deep left field, and it's got some distance and it is out of here. A grand slam for Spitzer Steer and the Reds have taken a six two lead. Listen to them. Now, how do you like me? Now? Oh my, oh my, A Spencer Steer got every bit of

it. As John Crook said on the Phillies broadcast, no grand slams for Spencer Steer. Next pitch boom, yep. Well he said that. I didn't hear it, but I said, when you say that, guess what it's going. And it did. Segment thank you, I say, Keith, women and women's sports, girls and girls' sports. Let boys be boys, let men be men. But the Democrats want to obscure the lines and put men in women's sports. Never the opposite works, by the way, segment, thank you, yes, sir, Keith Favor. Coming up next.

That's your home of the Reds News Radio seven hundred WLW. Keep you always saying, have a nice day. Just now the Great America. And of course the weather here in ken Wood is dark and fore voting. But if anything breaks out, we break in immediately with weather and kings of that character. As we continue, Keith Fabor, the High State Auditor, Keith Fabor, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, Keith, where are you now? What's the weather like where you are?

And are you frightened? I am not frightened. It takes a lot to frighten me. I deal with bad guys all the time. I'm sitting in my office in Columbus, Ohio. What's it look like out the window? I'm sure you got a corner office. It is relatively sunny, but it's getting quickly to be more and more overcast. Now we've got all help breaking

loose here in River City. But your office put out a press release that more than one hundred and twenty four thousand people enrolled in Ohio's Medicaid program were simultaneously enrolled in medicaid and other states, according to report issued by you, the costing taxpayers, I guess about a billion dollars. First of all, tell the American people, for those who may not know, what is Medicaid

well, Medicaid is the healthcare program for the poor. It's a program that's subsidized by the federal government, but it's a state and federal program that both contribute into. In Ohio, the ratio is between six and seventy thirty paid for by the federal government. Effectively, this is how we provide healthcare keep to the poor in Ohio. A big chunk of it goes to our senior citizens and nursing homes and long term care. But it's the way we essentially

provide health care to those most in need in Ohio. How about about how many Ohio wins are on Medicaid at this point, just a rough numbers. It's several million in Ohio. One number I've heard is twenty twenty five percent of the state's population. It goes up if you include kids and seniors at past a certain age. And about how much do we pay each year for

the bills of the poor Medicaid ohioans? How much do we pay? About it goes up, But it's it's roughly fifty percent of the state appropriation for general revenue dollars goes to Medicaid. It's about twenty eight point five billion dollars, just chump change among friends among friends, but that's half half of all the money in taxes in Ohio goes to providing medical care to the poor.

Well roughly, Yeah, that's of general revenue fund dollars. I always say it's about forty percent of this olden state budget because remember there's that state federal match that comes in, and so when you run the numbers through that formula, the state gets reimbursed for a little bit of that. But of general revenue fund dollars, those are the dollars the state has discretionary money to spend.

You know, there are a lot of state pots of money that are targeted and near marked to certain things like gas taxes can only go to roads and other funds But when you take just the money that the state has discretion on spending on anything in government, it makes up a pretty sizeable percentage that goes right to medicaid. You take K twelve spending and Medicaid spending, and you're pushing over eighty percent of every dollar the state has to spend, so

much like the federal government. If you take Social Security, federally, Medicare, Medicaid, defense to department interest on the national debt, you're eighty percent that number. Yeah, same thing in Ohio in a sense. Yep, it used to be a joke running if you had prisons in What Ohio effectively does is educate, medicate, and incarcerate. And that's pretty much what the

state does. Everything else we do, from the state parks to the roads, the bridges, to higher patrol, all of that comes in a very small percentage of state government, less than twenty percent on average. In many cases it's less than ten percent when you include higher ed some other things in there. So I kind of snicker when in Washington we're told that we borrow about a trillion dollars of new money every one hundred days and that we got

to start cut federal spending, it's never cut. The rate of increase may be adjusted, but I don't know how you Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, defense, and interest on the national debt in Ohio. If you take the schools, the prisons, and medicaid, that's kind of it. That's is that close to ninety percent of the budget real tough when you talk about spending if you don't or funding if you don't want to get into the to the core items. It's real tough to reduce the size and scope of government,

either at the federal level or the state level. And that's what makes budgeting all the more difficult when you talk about things on the margins. It's great to talk about eliminating five hundred dollars hammers. I'm all for it. No hammer ought to cost more than three fifty And I'm not talking three hundred and fifty dollars. I'm talking three dollars and fifty cents. But the reality is you need to go where the money are. I always say the fish

where the fish are, You hunt where the ducks are. And in this regard, that's why we do audits in the Medicaid program. It is a significant chunk of state spending. And when we find a program that is paying Medicaid managed care providers more than a billion dollars over four years that arguably they should have never been paid, we believe that's something that ought to be acted

on. Let's get into that. Because you have a press release of billion dollars, one hundred and twenty four thousand people enrolled in multiple programs, please

explain sure. What we did was found that a number of people and more than one hundred and twenty four thousand, just shive, one hundred twenty five thousand people were enrolled in Medicaid in multiple states Ohio plus at least one other state somewhere more rolled as many of eight as eight And while people probably are not getting their medical bills paid multiple times by different states, what happens in Ohio is we pay something called a Medicaid provider, a Medicaid managed care provider,

whether it's a care source or somebody else, to essentially manage Ohio's Medicaid

roles. So when Medicaid beneficiaries are people who are on Medicaid sign up a Medicaid care organization an MCO essentially is managing their healthcare and the state pays that Medicare provider, that managed care provider a per member, per month payment, and so every one of these one hundred and twenty four thousand dollars have checks being paid to MCOs every single months for people who likely are not having any

medical bills come through. So the real beneficiary of this money isn't the multiply enrolled providers, although there was an argument that they are getting potentially benefits being in Ohio that they would not get in other states, and we're starting to look into that, but the real people who are making the money are Ohio's Medicaid managed care organizations and candid leave. The state ought to do something about

it. Well. I had a family member about two weeks ago that went to a large hospital all used the name Bethes the North, which is a fine facility in northern Hambleton County. And normally you went to the er, you would anticipate having some sort of a wait. This woman, this distant family member of mine, was number thirty seven. It's like taking a number

at the butcher shop, number thirty seven. And we waited on and she noticed that many many people there appeared to be shall we say not from the United States of America, do we pay for illegal aliens to use our medical system under medicaid programs? Well, the short ant is maybe. In theory, no, if they're truly an illegal alien in Ohio, they're not supposed

to be eligible for medicaid. However, if they come in under the asylum program and the Biden Office program, that just let them all in and we'll sort them out later. Answer is some of those people maybe. And this is one of the issues to why we've got to get a control on the border. I took a group of sheriffs and prosecutors build down to the border at the end of last year, and what we saw wasn't all of the give ups and people that you see an eagle pass and some of the other

things that's essentially the diversion. There are places like Cochise County where I know our good Sheriff Jones went down right before I did. We're seeing people who don't want to get caught, and so we're having people that are coming across the border to do harm in America. We're having people that are trafficking in pittanhol that they're trafficking and human trafficking and one of the side effects of having

an open border and tens of millions of people. I think the last number I heard was maybe as many as twelve million people come into the country just under the Biden administration. Those people are coming in, they're overwhelming our healthcare system, they're overwhelming education system, and frankly, we're also seeing other problems everywhere all around Ohio. It is not just a border state problem. It is an Ohio problem. And certainly we're going to see some of that in

our Medicaid system. If anyone shows up in an emergency room of a hospital with an emergency medical condition, aren't they treated irrespective of whether they're covered by Medicare or Medicaid. That is absolutely true. We have a system that for emergency care in this country, you cannot be turned away. If you're going

to have a baby, you cannot be turned away. And essentially that goes into what's called the charity care pot for all of the hospitals, and the hospitals and medical community get some reimbursement from the federal government and from the Medicaid system with regard to that, but essentially most of them will tell you they're losing a lot of money on that system. Hey, have you thought almost ever? I've done this for a long time and I often speak to individuals

hoarding position positions. You appear to know what you're talking about, and Keith Favor, you appear to be interested in saving the taxpayer money. You appear to be up on all the issues. Many might say, what do you have a venture in mind two years to do something other than being the Ohio State Auditor. What are your future plans? Well, we're looking at running for Attorney General. Bill. I'm not secretive about that. That is not

a big kept secret. I'm term limited the state auditor. I love being state auditor. I mean who wouldn't love a job where you get to arrest and put people in jail who lies, steal and cheat the government money. But the reality is is Ohio's termline existence is going to mean that I need to think about my future, and right now we're looking seriously running for attorney general. I think it's a job where we can make do good things and

keep on Highland safe. As far as recovering this money, how do you recover money from a person that has no money? So when you talk about a billion dollar peer of multiple coverage. How do you recover any of that money? Well, the short answer is the state audit adjust what they're paying the Medicaid care organizations. These are multi billion dollar corporations for the most part.

They should not be getting paid for people who are not eligible for benefits in Ohio or that they are not reasonably going to have to have claims for. But the bigger thing to do is to fix the way Medicaid does it. Remember this is a second or third report for US on Medicaid. The first one this happened right before the pandemic. The Department of Healthy Human Services did a similar audit and found a similar problem, and they didn't adjust for

it. Hopefully they adjust for it now. Remember we've issued a couple of other audits just on our watch on Medicaid. One of them was an audit saying that people were ineligible beneficiaries that are actually having Medicaid claims paid. These are real money going to providers for somebody who's ineligible for Medicaid. We found that to be in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars as well. Then we found a system to where a bunch of people were receiving Medicaid claims

that were either deceased or in jail. We found I think it was about one hundred and eighteen million dollars of individuals who were in prison or deceased that should have never been paid. It's real tough to one get a Medicaid claim filed when you're dead. But I guess somebody's figured out how to make that work and it wasn't for their last care and last expenses. And so those

are the kind of things we do in the Auditor's office. My problem is is that the state Medicaid system is such a big bureaucracy, it is such a poorly run computer system that it needs to get better. And I'm not being critical of Mike de Wine here. I want to be clear on this. This is a problem that's bigger than Mike DeWine. It's lasted longer than Mike the Waine's big governor, and unfortunately it will be it will be there

for the next governor. It has to be a concerted effort across multiple branches of government. But at some point we have to say to the bureaucracy and the organizations, enough enough. We've got to get the system under control or it could literally bankrupt Ohio. Well, it's bankrupt in the United States of America, Medicare, Medicaid and the fraud. I can only imagine what it's like the little state of Ohio. What about thirteen million ohio WANs exist.

That's maybe three and a half percent of the total population of the country. Three percent. You can only imagine in blue cities and blue states, and the bureaucracy in Washington, what happens to trillions of dollars of payments to Medicare. Medicaid has got to be off the hook. It's got to be unbelievable. It is absolutely unbelievable, and it is part of a much bigger national

debate. And look, I wasn't a big fan of expanding Obamacare, but when you expanded the Obamacare the medicaid program of that, you had a whole other group of segments and to effectively medicaid, and that has not had a great, great result. But in the end, we've got to figure out how to do a better government can and should do government better than it is, and medicaid is not the shining example of how we ought to run the rered Keith favor. Thank you very much. Good luck in your future ventures.

I'm glad that we have a competent person in charge of finding the taxpayer money. At least you're doing your best to try to locate it and track it down. I can only imagine in other state's how it happens. At least we have more of a functioning state in Ohio than I see around the country. Keith Faber, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Keith, thanks for having us. I always encourage people if you see something in state government that's not working the way it

should, let us know. One eight sixty six proto H one eight sixty six proto h our Ohio auditor dot Com. Thanks Bill, Keith Faber, thank you. Well, let's continue with more. Continue to follow the weather outside our windess Aaron Kenwood. It's awful, it's terrible, but no tornatic activities yet occurred. And then maybe that's because sun is not shining and therefore there's not the fuel for it. But we have more on that in about five or six minutes at your home of the Reds playing tonight. And I

said again after I skipped out on the Sunday Easter game. I quit listening to the Reds in the ninth, bottom of the ninth, and I saw it all the way through and h last night's game was unbelievable. I mean, can you imagine the drama the first four games they've played this year, they're three and one, and the one game they lost they should have won, and several games they should have lost they won because of late, late inning dramatics. So let's continue with more two twenty five Home of Your Reds

The Bearcats are losing one player and going to regain another. Victor Lockin

has entered the transfer portal. Well, Gisel James is coming back for a soft more season. Good. So other than that, there's really nothing else going on. That's it in sports play. Last night's big win picking up and Steer picking up the brand slam and the reds UH winning again in uh

dramatic dramatic fashioned as much like they did on Sunday. Even in the bottom of the tenth inning when Harper was at the plate as the tying run, tj Antone fanned the big boy and with two on to end it, David Bell would have had many questions to answer of TJ and Tone, who's been out for two years and looked terrible in the opener right blew that thing? Oh, Lexis Diaz didn't look that good Saturday either, But but here in the win last night went an inning in two thirds with two k's and they

also picked off two players. Where was that guy at second base thinking he was going he was wondering loose. I mean, you know, he's probably been sent to the minor leagues today. Of course, I'm getting reports out of the Western Bowl on Glen Way Avenue. Wait a minute, that's hallowed ground for bowlers. The hoinks, yeah, all the honks. But the Reds game came on. They're bowling, got the TV monitors up. Came on about six forty, right, and the Reds at that point were losing

two zip in a hurry. And I'm told by a knowledgeable source, Brian Combs told by a knowledgeable source that when that transpired, they switched at seven oh five from the Reds game to the women's semi final Elite eight game between Iowa and and LSU. The assembled multitude at Western Bowl expressed profound dissatisfaction turning off the Reds game to put on Christian He is what you call a veritable crap, Marty. That's that's Reds fan. That's Red's country over there,

Willie Henke Classic Western Hills right there, that is Ed's country. That's close. Don't you forget it. How about Ron's Roost, That's Red's country too, very close right up the street at five minute drive. Correct and so I'm wondering the old grizzled, hairy as men that were there. You can't. You can't turn the reds off and turn them off. I mean, you can't do even if they even if they don't win, or still get down to the last out, the last strike like Sunday. Can't do it,

Jonathan, India, can't. I stopped listening right on Saturday. I'm sorry, on Saturday a perfect example right there, And I said, an hour and a half later I found out they want I had to go back replay everything. I can't believe, Jonathan India also known as Pakistan. What about it? What is it? Bat Well? That may be the bat of the year right there so far? And then last night when things are looking dark to zip abit doesn't have it? Sticks around into the sixth many

opportunities. The Phillies have a lineup Castellanas, Harper, et cetera. And that man from Middletown, Kyle Schwarba that can hit it a mile. He's not doing anything. Harper's not doing nothing either. Nothing. I don't think he's got it. Does he have a hit? Ye? I don't know. He's got nothing. Nothing And tj oh At least that's a round number, correct TJ. And tone I'm having He couldn't locate the plate. Then

he finally did, just in time. If I was Darren Johnson, I would I would tell I would call all the pitchers together, especially the relievers, throw strikes, right, and then I'm saying, if you walk the first guy, it's one hundred bucks. You're sitting next to me. If you're if you're in the tomorrow night's game, you walk the next guy, it's two hundred bucks. Don't paint. They give that money to the community fund. Throw strikes. He'd probably have five trillion dollars in money for the

for the community fund if they could do it. You know one thing I did when I pitched for Thomas Funeral Home in Burnett, Pontiac in Deer Park Theater right zav University. Yeah, I threw, Yes you did. And also at baseball heaven, don't forget that all right through strikes, go ahead and beat me. I'm not going to beat myself. Correct TJ. Antone was so pumped up he was beating himself. All he had to do was put down one finger, throw it. What's one? The express two?

King Charles three knuckles four, screwball five, the slip pitch. There you go. That's all you gotta do right there, and uh Sean get to play the words. And then Luke Mayley last night got into the home play, got into it with a homeplate umpire and what was going on there? I guess he was mad about warm up pitchers or something and squeezing him, squeezing him. Let's hear from John Crook Phillies broadcast fantastic comments, Spencer Steer

has never hit a grand slam. That's it unbelievable, Hendy Meca, don't grat slap for touch Steer. Let's hope that continues. But two, one ball, I feel pretty well and going back. Yeah, a rand slam for Spencer Steer, and the Reds have busted and open here in the tenth they're off top six to two. John, don't grant slaugh or Spencer Steer. Let's hope that continuous. Well, how are we looking very good? When the announcer says Scottie Scheffler has not missed a five foot fut correct since

he was fourteen years old? What happenedt open Sunday? Missed it? Missed it? Excuse me free throw. It hadn't missed it. Free to get that cough button this year. Correct when the announcer says this has never happened, guess what it happens? Correct now. Thirdly, yeah, we touched

on this about an hour ago. Title nine, as you might recall, fifty years ago, Yes, sought to equalize the funding, scholarship opportunities and teams for women who play in college sports with men who play in college sports. And then it was extended the high school, grade school, at elementary school, whatever, graduate. It's got to be right now women are dominating

men. But most of the law students, most of the training physicians, the architects, most of the judges, the power brokers are all now women. So anyway, I regress last week your good friend Joe Biden. I'm sure it wasn't him, because he don't know what he's doing. Somebody around him said we must expand Title nine to include the term gender identity that means

segment. If you identify as a woman and you want to play high school or college sports, guess what, then you can play high school college sports as a woman on the girls team or a women's team. Because Joe Biden

wants to ruin college athletics for Kristen Clark, simple as that. Caitlyn her too, and it's going to start July first, boy, so July first at Caitlyn got more important problems in this country than that are going to have Harry as men competing against them, because there'll be a large number of males who will say, you know what, I'm not making it on the intermural team. I want to play against Caitlyn. I want to play college sports and make a bunch of money, get a scholarship. How do you stop

that from occurring? You begin by saying men and women are equal, but we're different. And as a consequence, we need to have girls sports and boys sports, and women's sports and men's sports, and the twains shall not meet. But that's not good enough for Joe Biden, who wants to ruin college athletics. And what happens seg Man down the road when some male tennis player or some male golfer says, you know what, I'm not quite there in my sport, but I'm going to play on the LPGA or I'm going

to play And how about soccer? Megan Pino thinks she would swimming swimming, Oh, Leah Thomas, you know, you know, and I don't know, Willie what well? You know how you know? Where is this going to end up in the courts? But then the courts, I hope, they say, and it's going to be the the this court, that court, next court, next court, and then the Supreme Court. The supremes decide everything correct, because we can't decide for ourselves correct how to conduct our

affairs. Therefore, let's and then when they when they choose, that's what one one side of America gets, you know what, and the other ones are happy. It's a case of the ass Yeah, no questions. So seg I say, I don't know. I want Caitlyn Clark. Despite the protestations of some, she will never be drafted by the n b A. But the number one pick in the w n B A, I think of

the the Indiana Fever has the number one pick. They got the Fever, take her, and then she'll have your great career in the n w n B A. Well, the w n B A players, they'll get great ratings. And look what they're doing already, what they accept Caitlin Clark, who the w n BE a course, they make her mind out money. Absolutely, they all making money only color they're making money. Now, how much is she making off a state farm? Supposedly more than a million dollars

a year? Yeah, heck with that's the pro money. What about there? They're making the dough Ray and the me. Now the w NBA top salary for a rookie, it's one hundred and sixty thousand. She's making ten. She makes that in one state farm commercial. What I'm saying, well, what would the w NBA players accept her as she is? Yeah, they have a choice. I don't think they have a choice, do they? Answers? Yes, Yeah, I hope because it'll bring It'll bring a

lot of aliens and million you. In fact, the fever may sell out the entire season correct before they even start playing. And what what happens when she goes on the road, on the road again with Willie Nelson? Look at it? Look at her now on the road. She's a stander lining up outside of arenas. Now what's gonna be Oh, it's going to be packed and stacked. What are the take a price? Is part of track had don an hour ago? By the way, the Sparta track is now

a parking lot, that's correct. That's another issue. Don't get me started on that. What are the ticket prices in Cleveland? Aren't they some ridiculous number? You want a ticket? It's let's see stub hub for the women's Final four, the whole thing is nine hundred and seventy dollars in climbing per ticket. The men's for the Phoenix for Phoenix is five hundred and seventy one. What so the women college I bet, I bet, I bet Caitlyn

Clark out drew the men's. We'll see they're on. Well, they'll get the ratings out probably later on today or they probably are going to be announced. I haven't seen it. But the women play Friday, correct, Sunday, right, and the men play Saturday, and then one game Monday. Correct. We're gonna have four consecutive days of the best college basketball that can be done, and we'll see who wins, who loses. Let the people decide. I'm willing to predict now that the highest rated game will be Caitlyn

Clark Iowa and Jean ri Ema. Millions will be watching that game. I'll be watching, and they they'll be watching again Sunday. Yeah, if i'd like to see against right South South Carolina, maybe thirty seven to zero against Caitlin Clark. You're talking about action. That's three o'clock on Sunday. Correct, South Carolina's pretty good, Yes they are. I don't care much for their coach, but that's a different story. They got a good team,

got a good team, and we'll see what happens. Segment Continue to follow the weather. Nothing terrible yet's rain and darkness and clouds are everywhere. Schools have shut down, et cetera. But we move on. Segment, Give me out of the Studge Report, please, Willie and Hotter. Of a rainy day here in the Trice date. Take it easy out on the roads.

We leave you with the immortal words of the Stood Report. Five feet four inches and world number one hasn't missed a putt inside seven feet the entire weekend, a part of his game that was talked about, criticized a lot of this season. It's not missed a put on the line here too. It's a little bit to a playoffs here we go. Segment keep your voice down, okay, and Steven Jeger has broken through. Hasn't missed a putt within seven feet all week. Scottie Scheffler world number one lining it up bomb.

John Crook said, Spencer Steer does not have a Grand Slam in his entire career. We put that one the left field last next with its loaded up there, bye bye. And then tonight it happened. I went the reds to win a game eight to Zip, nine to one. Big deal. Just beat him. I mean, it's it's it's bad. Let's just beat the Sanchez guy was rolling last night. He was for a while. And then this weekend the Red Lakes come home New York mets the Metropolitans.

And then next and then next week the Brew crew comes to ten. After that they go on an extended West coast road trip White Sox and Seattle.
