The Bill Cunningham Show -- 7/15/25

All Star Game that is tonight. Red's Baseball kicks off again on Friday night in New York with the Metropolitans Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and then I cut three more games

and back home. But until then there was quite a bit of discussion among Republicans whether or not to override the veto of Governor Mike DeWine when it comes to school funding, when it comes to real estate taxes, etc. And I understand from State Representative Adam Byrd of New Richmond, the Home of the Lions, that is likely to happen next week on Monday or Tuesday. And State rep Adam Byrd, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and state rep.

First of all, describe, if you can, in a succinc way, why you Republicans want to override the governor's veto when it comes to school funding, slash real estate taxes. Explain that to the American people.

that are time sensitive regarding property taxes. And the reason that the prime time sensitive is because bills do not become effective until ninety days after they are passed. And so if we were to override some property taxes is the you know, if we do that in July, then you go to August, September, October, and then that's ninety days and then then you would have to give the county auditors time in the months of November and December

to make changes for January twenty six. So that's why we're looking at some property tax issues.

do it. If you put anything on the ballot to say do you want your taxes to go up or be eliminated, guess what, We're going to vote to eliminate real estate taxes. So is this an attempt to forestall the idea of voting that thing on the ballot.

And so the things that we're looking at, there are three of them, and one of them is giving the County Budget Commission the authority to reduce unnecessary or ex says, the property tax collections. That that is one. Number two that we're looking at is on the twenty miil floor calculation and that would require that emergency and substitute tax levees, incremental growth levees, all of those be included in twenty

mil floor calculation. And then the third, the one that we're looking at for next Monday, is that we would eliminate the ability for political subdivisions to have emergency have these replacement levees and fix some substitute levees. So we're eliminating some of the types of levees that that villages, township schools could try to pass.

to be hell, yes, I want to eliminate it. Now I think it's a is it a problem? Because when I talked to Matt Huffman other people in Columbus, they tell me that if real estate taxes all go away and one fell swoop, we got a problem because you can only raise taxes and raise government moneys to fund things by either the sales tax or the income tax. So even though you're conversing in these issues, but the twenty flour mills, ceiling, et cetera, people aren't going to

hear that. You know what I'm saying. You ought to go to Claremont County and pull somebody out of that new Mexican restaurant on the river and say, let me tell you about the twenty mil floor levee, and he's going to go, huh, I'd rather get some tacos and so what the hell are we going to do if the voters eliminate real estate taxes?

schools to ask for an income tax levee. So I think schools would have to transition from property tax income tax good luck, and we as a General Assembly would have to would have to give the authority of county commissioners to pass a sales or income tax in a county in order to pay for those services that would lose property tax revenue.

created overnight. We're not going to solve it overnight. But but yes, we're going to have to if property taxes are abolished, and we're going to have to find another way to pay for schools and villages and townships and cities and sheriff's offices, and it's going to be income tax or it's going to be sales tax. That's the only choice.

three point five percent. And so we're lowing everybody to the same rate of two point seventy five No matter how much you make over twenty six thousand, you're going to pay the same income tax. And most people see this as a fairness issue. And so the other thing, Willy people, some people might say, well, you're goingly giving a tax break to go wealthy. Well, you know, there's a lot of people out there, Willy, that are making one hundred thousand is a combined household income, and they're

not millionaires. Okay, one of them might be working for as a teacher and the other one might be working as an electrician. Do you think a combined household income of a teacher, an electrician or is over one hundred thousand? Of course it is, But we shouldn't be considering those people wealthy. We're giving these people a tax break by passing this lat tax.

that won't want to override the governor's veto. We've got a very slim number here, and we're going to need everybody to show up and everybody to stay together in order to provide property tax relief to a highlands and you know, and that's essentially what we're doing.

the Zoo and Botanical Gardens levee. We got the tablet house levee. We got the prevention first levee. We got levees, levees and more levees. Does every county have thirteen levees?

We've got people going into the Hamley County Library system, which is largely a homeless shelter during the day. We got to pay for that. We pay, pay and pay, and nobody ever votes knowing any of that stuff. Whose faults that Adam Bird, You got me all fired up right now. For sure, it's my fault.

a cultural and arts center. They can apply for this money to upgrade their facility. And so these unclaimed funds people, some people are upset about that, but Willie, this money has been collecting for literally one hundred years, and so the people to whom this money belongs have long since passed away, and we're going to find a way to

productively use that. And oh, by the way, that unclaimed funds amount is growing by over two hundred million dollars every year, So this is we're finding a creative way to help arts, cultural and professional sports franchises in Ohio.

thirty seven dollars if you can find it. But there's a list of tens of thousands that have over fifty thousand dollars they've not picked up, and I would think they haven't picked it up because they're dead. What do you think?

this money. I don't think that the people who are going to sue over this are going to have any chance at all winning.

pretty easy lift, Like for libraries. The governor over rode I'm sorry, he vetoed a portion of this bill that said that libraries must take transgender and LGB material and other things that are sexually explicit and put them in the adult section. And I think that's a pretty reasonable request that we don't put this right in the face of our young children. And for some reason, Governor Dwane Vito that, well.

the Icon Sales tax levee? Any advice on voting yes or no on those.

governor's veto. You have eighteen months till the legislature runs out, which is a long time, but I think some of these might be prioritized. And thanks for coming on. We'll see what happens. Downtown New Richmond's gorgeous. The French Street Cafe, I love New Mexican Restaurant's good. You don't have any flooding problems there. When you have a flood, you know it's coming, you know what to do and things of that character. But lastly, we have about thirty seconds remaining.

I had on to Sheriff Richard K. Jones the other day and he wants to have a siren system set up. I'm sure there'll be some levee supporting it that notifies the county when there's a flood or a train de ramla. What do you think about that?

Very likely Keith Faber will be here. Of course, Reds baseball off until Friday night, but tonight the All Star Game is with us going to be on fifteen thirty, Down and Dirty with Moeger et cetera, going to get it done. I know this moment has passed quickly. The mainstream media won't deal with it because it's so destructive of some of their goals and aims. Which was the day the All Star Game got hijacked. Let's go back

in time just a little bit. The game should not be in Atlanta tonight, should have been in Atlanta in

July fourteenth of twenty one. Let's go back a little bit in time to see the fallacy the absurdity of liberal progressive arguments about race and Jim Crow, etc. You might recall that Joe Biden, the auto pen president mentally incompetent, had just been selected by you to be the next president, shall we say forty six, took office January the twentieth, and Stacy Abrams had recently again lost as the governorship

of Georgia. And so it was determined, because there was a less voter turnout and twenty and twenty eighteen in Georgia than they thought should be, that Governor Kemp and the Republicans and the Legislature housing the Senate and Georgia wanted to update the voter laws and the state of Georgia. A new president was in office, shall we say, a

new president. What was he at that point, about seventy seven years old, still mentally incompetent, but he got on the vandwagon about calling Georgia, and Georgia changed to the voting laws as somehow being Jim Crow twenty twenty one. Jim Crow. That was the term used by the African Americans living in the South and the Democratic control for many centuries, passing laws that apply to them disproportionately. Jim Crow laws. I say that for those in the gen

Z that might be listening. So decision was made to pressure Georgia not to pass voter registration laws which had been adopted by almost every other state. So pressure was put on Rob Manfred, the foolish Commissioner of Baseball, to change the All Star Game location from Atlanta to some other city in state. And they picked. Happened to pick

Colorado and Denver. So the twenty twenty one All Star Game was in Denver because Georgia was passing laws that they said it would make it difficult for black folks to vote in the state of Georgia. As a consequence, the State of Georgia laws millions and millions of dollars in revenue and small income. Stacy Abrons didn't mean to

care at all. Stacy Abrons and others pressured Coca Cola and Delta Airlines, headquartered in Georgia, to pile on, to increase their DEI departments and to issue public statements condemning the State of Georgia. This came out of Coca Cola and came out at Delta Airlines, and the so called liberal media echoed off the same script with vigor and they were shocked, shocked that these voter id laws would

be passed in the state of Georgia. And if you go to MSNBC, CNN, most of the mainstream media, hell, the sky was falling. It was terrible. Voter suppression was underway. Black folks can't vote anymore in the State of Georgia. The new Georgia law, they claim, was without without presidents,

without proof. It would disenfranchise thousands millions of black voters in State of Georgia, and disproportionately by restricting early voting, limiting drop boxes, and requiring voter idea, especially something framed as a modern day poll tax that to pull out your ID, as my producer Drew does on a regular basis, here's my ID to vote that somehow that is voter suppression. So irrelevant to that fact was that Colorado, where the game was being moved by Major League Baseball in twenty

twenty one, had similar ID laws. But one thing that Georgia law did was expand early voting to seventeen statewide, which is a lot more than many Blue states. Never mind the facts and that absentee balloting would be extremely easy. The fact that you had to have an ID to vote angered major League Baseball. They didn't have the baseballs to stand up and say, wait a minute. We're in the baseball business. We're not in the voter suppression business.

We don't know what's going on. And it didn't stop there. The lies continued. Stacy Abrams appeared on every late night TV host show from Kimmel to Colbert, repeating Jim Crow, Jim Crow, Jim Crow. The goal was not to debate the merits of whether the voter suppression laws as they described it was fair or not. It was to teach Georgia a lesson. We're going to show Georgia as the cutout for other states that may want to have voter

ID laws. So what happened of the doom and gloom. Well, Georgia held elections in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four under the new law that Baseball itself found racist, inflammatory, disenfranchising black folks, et cetera. Well, the facts are in and when you lie repeatedly and manipulate opinion for your political purpose, never admit you're wrong. I ever hold up any In fact, I think I haven't seen the story yet on this of you that the Major League Baseball,

Coca Cola Delta airlines are all wrong. In fact, they were damnable wrong. In twenty twenty two, compared to twenty eighteen before the law was passed, voter surged two hundred and twelve percent in primary balloting. Turnout among black folks not only matched, but in most counties surpassed previous levels.

Seventeen percent more black people voted in the state of Georgia in twenty twenty two, nineteen percent more voted in twenty twenty four than voted in twenty eighteen before the law was passed, and no one was offered the opportunity to somehow revise and consider or reconcile their facts and their opinion with reality. Reality is in the voter suppression

laws did not suppress voters. In fact, they encouraged him to vote, especially because of absentee voting, taking away reasons to get a ballot and voter id mean it was hard to cheat and easy to vote. In fact, the suppression laws didn't suppress anything. Accept the credibility of MSNBC

and CNN unbelievable. So it was announced that later on, and quietly, I might add, in twenty twenty three, after the results of the twenty twenty two election was in that quietly Rob Manford, who is a clown with a capital K, announced well, really, the All Star Game will return to Atlanta in twenty twenty five. There was no press conference, no maya copa's, just a quiet issue of a statement. Then he avoided the media for the next

several months. But oddly, when these things occur, who really suffers? It is not the Atlanta braves that are worth about two billion dollars. No, No, it's the workers around the stadium. It's the vendors, it's the contractors, it's the caterers. It's the bartenders, it's the small businesses, most minority owned, who missed out on once in a lifetime opportunity. It was economic sabotage of African Americans. It was, and it was all done for what It was done for a lie.

And let's not forget, let's not forget the All Star Game. It was Biden himself who used the power, the prestige, and the weight of the presidency to pressure a private business and the punishing a sovereign state, that private business being Major League Baseball, and that sovereign state beat the state of Georgia. You might recall the protests in the marches, the ridiculously yelling and shouting Jim Crow, Jim Crow, back

and forth. Stacy Abrams, who called for this financial retaliation against her own constituents, have never been held to account. In fact, she announced again she's going to run for

governor for a third time. And these are so called important national leaders from all the Democrats, from the President, from the Vice President Kamala Harris, from Stacy Abrams, all of them waging lies and misinformation against Georgia voters that turned out to be a complete lie, and no one asked the hard questions, do you think black folks cannot aren't bright enough to get an ID? Are they bright enough to get on a plane with an idea? Are

they bright enough to get a passport? The Democrats said, no, they're not smart enough. They're stupid. That's what Democrats said.

And as the game preceded in twenty twenty one, the jobs lost, the lies repeated, integrity shattered, and no one remembers but me the Great American, and all the accusations of the so called white Republicans in Georgia to update the voter registration laws to require an ID, to expand voting days, to make it easy to get an absentee ballot, to purge the voter rolls of those that have been

dead six years ago, they're still dead. And in the meantime, working class Americans living in Georgia lost income, especially black Atlanta residents or somehow not so confused that they couldn't get an ID to vote. But have you seen all the stories on this? Have you seen the media going back in time? Since it is the All Star Game tonight? You know what? We're sorry, we were wrong. Have you

heard Stacy Abras No, she moved on. I've seen some recent interviews she's conducted in which she lays out all the the reasons why she should be the next governor of the state of Georgia. So tonight in Atlanta, when the game kicks off and the cameras pan across the stadium, remember the people who tried to make this happen and didn't get it done in twenty twenty one. And remember the so called journalist who chose activism over truth. And

let's celebrate that, among other things. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. And secondly, before we go much further, as you may know, Bill Cunningham and seven hundred WLW is public radio. We are radio, and I think I'm in the public and I think we use the public airwaves. Am I right or wrong about this? If you believe, if you can hear me right now, you hear me

through airwaves or through our apps. And I'm speaking publicly in its radio and the government doesn't give me or anyone around here five hundred million dollars to conduct public radio. And you decide whether you want to listen or not by turning offer on the dial and putting us on a preset that's the reason. By Friday of this week, the clock is ticking for our tax dollars, about five hundred million dollars a year, whether to keep NPR and

PBS alive. And the reason Democrats are fighting so hard for VXU and GUC in this market and hundreds of other radio stations, it's because they're an outlet for their viewpoints. Do not believe for a moment that the same Democrats who yell Jim Crow, Jim Crow, Jim Crow in the All Star Game are the same Democrats that now say we got to keep NPR. Why keep NPR when in this market there's about twenty five radio stations. It's because they represent the viewpoints of the Democrat Party. If NPR

was conservative, the Democrats couldn't care less. And the argument that rural Americans are worried about losing their access to the world is a bunch of bs. And they're trying to apply this argument to Collins and Murkowski, maybe Holly and some other senators. If you live in the middle of nowhere and do not have internet, do not have telephone service, do not have a satellite, have no way of reaching any necessary information, well you've chosen that lifestyle.

That's what you want. That's the deal, and taxpayers like you and I should not be on the hook. So you can get off that problem. And if you want news from PBS, donate specifically to the station, give them money, but don't make me pay tax dollars to fund a competitor, which is PBS or NPR. I have to pay my tax dollars five hundred million dollars a year in order to fund a competitor. And we are public radio. The

great American is public radio. And the reason the left is so energized, they're mobilized that we provide about a billion dollars a year in taxpayer funded propaganda and they don't want to lose it. Hell, I don't blame them. If NPR was all conservative or libertarian, then the opposite might be true. I would hope the libertarian among us would not demand that our tax dollars be used to

support an outlet for their political viewpoints. And to the left, to the progressives, to the Democrats, NPR is very valuable. It's a megaphone that we pay for and we can only afford to lose four votes in the Senate. And I said months ago when this came up. It's been around for about sixty years, likely to be around for another fifty or sixty years. But Republican Republicans don't have

the coyonees to vote it down. The left is mobilized because we spend tax dollars dispensing their viewpoint to you, and they need it today's world. That's why the vote by Friday is going to be important. Do I think the recision is going to pass? I don't know. I don't know. But it's only it's only it's only a billion dollars a year. A billion here, a billionaire, it's a billion. Not a big deal. Well, how about having a NPR for conservatism and libertarianism and see if you

liberals want to pay for that? What do you think? No, So we struggle, we fight. Been around for over one hundred years. LW is public Radio, and believe it or not, of the whole existence of this radio channel, I've been here for more than forty percent of the time. And I'm not funded by the US government or the state of Ohio, Kentucky, or in Indiana. I'm funded by the advertisers who spend money so that you buy their products while listening to me and find my endorsements worthwhile. Why

can't in PR had the same formula. And if you want to pay for that, please pay for it. Go get them, but don't make me coercively pay for your listening desires. Because it is an outlet for your propaganda. That's what it is. NPR is completely utterly leftist progressive propaganda, that's what it is. And if you think your tax dollars should fund propaganda, whether you call it USAID or whether you call it NPR, is stupid. It's really stupid. You're not serious about the deficit and debt. If you

fund leftist propaganda, well let's continue. Don't make any sense. Raise your hand, thank you, thank you. Coming up next to me, Julie Gunlock of the Independent Whomen's Form about many issues, especially when it comes to motherhood and conservatism, and later on as Keith Favor the Auditor of State to talk about the moneys he's saving for you. So just to reflect to what tonight's all star game, the lies hold by the left and Georgia, none of it materialized.

And secondly, NPR please fund it. Vxhu's great. If you want to listen to it. Don't make me pay tax dollars to support your propaganda. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred Wow about what's happening in the world today, especially focusing on children and women and men and everyone else.

And Julie Gunlock. If you have a daughter or a granddaughter and you want to say you want to overwhelm and overcome the propaganda in public schools, especially in colleges, you must go to IWF dot org Independentwomen's Forum dot org and see what other women are discussing about the important issues. And Julie Gunlock, welcome again to the Bill

Cunningham Show. And first of all, Julie, just over just how important do you give me the overview of what's happening with Donald Trump and the White House now been about six months that he's been there, and the change that we see already on college campuses at the universities. I know it's affected because the left's crying like crazy. In general, how has been to change the last six months?

after ruling after ruling. The Supreme Court has given the president what heretofore was thought to be the normal operations of a president, which is acting on reforms to the executive branch. But that actually had to be reformed by the Supreme Court. And thank god, the Trump administration has been so smart about this. They've gone the legal route, They've gone through all the way to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court again has now reaffirmed what most

voters believe. Most Americans believe is that when you elect a president, he is allowed to do presidential things. So be prepared for more winning.

branches control it. Now, schools almost getting ready to start in about three weeks, and I'm watching I'm one of those weird people that watch the NEA convention National Education Association, which is the largest teachers union in the country. And also, I would note that you live near Washington.

must continue, of course, as is. And so do you find it amazing the NEA spends all of its time attacking Donald Trump and not dealing with the education of America's children.

dangerous from a national security standpoint. If we are not educating our students to be able to take on innovation and frankly the defense of our country, that is dangerous. They don't care about this. They certainly don't care about parents' rights and what THEA is about now. And these other teachers' unions, what they exist to do is to maintain the status quo, to refuse academic choice to parents, educational choice to parents, and to keep kids trapped in

these broken schools. Look full. Choice is about choice, and if parents choose in areas of the country where, for instance, thirty five percent of people say they like their public schools, if they want to continue in those public schools. Nobody objects to that. But we want to give people an

opportunity to choose beyond the public schools. Perhaps if you're from a very conservative Catholic family, or you want to send your children to a Jewish institution or an institution run by Muslims, or maybe maybe a school is really good in sports right, or maybe you want your children to go to an artsy school. We want to give parents that maybe you just want your children to learn to read. Okay, take the standards. Yeah, you know, we

want to give people those opportunities. Nobody has suggesting destroying the public school education system in this country. It's about reform and it's about getting kids the basics so they can go on to being productive members of our society. I don't know why the Teachers Union is against that, but they are.

I think is the lack of failure. You can't have a fourteen year old boy or girl in the second grade, and so it is known that in the public school system in the urban areas, there's no such a thing as failing. There's those such a thing as expectations, there's no such a thing as requiring parental involvement, and so you simply pass someone to the next grade irrespective of their mastering of the academic pursuits required for that grade level.

And I can recall, going back twenty some years, George Bush said that it is a fourth grade guarantee that by the third or fourth grade your kids should be able to read and do basic math. And of course that was racist, sexist, and homophobic. We can't do that, and so wouldn't it be nice if we had a system in schools where the parents had to be involved. Secondly there was achievement goals, and thirdly, no such thing as social promotion. What do you think about that one?

more vacation, more better retirement benefits. And I guarantee you they had memory hold that whole issue. Never apologize. There have never been any statement saying, Okay, we won't do this again. They don't look back and say, Okay, these are the decisions. These are the bad decisions. And you know why because Trump is elected and now all they're going to do is talk about Trump, Trump Trump. And frankly Trump hadn't been elected, all it would have been

is a cheerleading section for Kamala. This organization is nothing more than an adjunct of the Democrat Party.

of this country. Thank god Trump is there, and thank god we have the House and Senate by Razor thin Margins. But we better keep them because it is terrifle. Look, but the Democrat Party is the party of from the river to the sea. They are they are the party of killing Jews, they are the party of Hamas support. They're the party of defund police, of of of harming kids through these shutdowns. I mean, there is nothing good

and they're getting more and more radical. When you when when David Hogg was too conservative for the d NC, you got a problem.

system in school, etc. Encourages her to transition. And you have a great column up that says, the mom's guide to parenting trans questioning kids. We don't let miners buy alcohol or cigarettes, but we let them cut off their genitals. So can you tell me? Can you tell me a mom's guide? You're like a mother in fact, you can have children. I cannot believe it or not. I don't have a uterus, and I cannot produce children, no matter

how much I would like to. In fact, I think if men could get pregnant, I think abortion would be a sacra sacrament. That's a different y. So can you talk about a mom's guide to parenting trans questioning kids.

probably the biggest tragedy here. And one of the reasons is that the medical community, like many institutions in this country, has been sort of taken over by the radical left, and many of These medical organizations like the AMA and the American Pediatric Associates Association are run by a small cadre of medical officials who are wildly left. They take over these organizations and then they issue policies and they say this represents the entire medical community. It's a total lie.

But some doctors are fooled by this. Some doctors are persuaded. And one of the lies out there is that if you do not give your child. This is a horrible, horrible phrase, but it is used by the left and it should never be used. But they like to use the term gender affirming care, which is is sex denying,

mutilating surgeries and cross sex hormones. That's what it really is, okay, And these poor parents are told if they deny their children these medical interventions and their child will commit suicide. That is a terrible sophie's choice for parents. What do they do? Do they risk their son or daughter committing

suicide or do they mutilate their child? And so the reason that we wrote this guide is to explain to them these phrases that are being used, the politics at play, the great manipulation at play, and why the medical community frankly and the psychology community cannot be trusted on this stuff. They are denying facts, they are denying science, and it

is a very dangerous time for kids right now. So we wanted to offer parents some very basic guidance on how to navigate these really, really difficult conversations with your kid.

sexual organs. And every now and then I see d transitioners who are now twenty five and thirty years old whose lives have been ruined because of puberty blockers and or surgery. And if someone is twenty or twenty five years old and wants to have it done, I may have a problem with that. If Tony Bender, my producer, shows up at the optimologist office and say, hey, doc, I identify as a blind man. Take out my eyeballs, would the eye doctors say, hey, Tony, I want to

affirm what you think you are. I'm taking out your eyeballs? Would that work?

young men who are dealing with anorexia nervosa or bolimia. No, we don't affirm that kind of behavior. You know, there are lots of children who identify as certain things and we let them grow out of it, We let their brains mature. And look, the evidence is clear. Over in Sweden, they have done a tremendous amount of research on this and it shows that something like ninety percent of kids who have some sort of body more dysphoric issues grow out of it and go on to live very normal

lives where they have not mutilated their bodies. They are not on cross sex hormones and they go on to have normal lives. The fact that we are actually altering these children before they've reached maturity. And frankly, again, if you are an adult and you identify as a different sex, you should not affirm that. You should get I'm counseling and help them to live in the body God gave them. Nobody is born in the wrong body. This is a sickness that should be treated, not affirmed.

or seed oil to to tallow. You know, it's still French fries, and it's still ice cream made with fat and cream and sugar, and so do I. And the infantestimal amount, the teeny teeny dose of red dye or whatever you're getting it is not harmful. We need to be teaching better eating habits, more exercise, getting kids outside, getting off their phones. Okay, this is the stuff. This is true health. Okay, taking a teeny tiny tiny bit of dye out of ice cream isn't going to do

a dang thing to make anyone healthier. This is an unpopular opinion, especially with mono crowd. But I'm a little tired of this stuff. And you know, I'm really tired of people who say this stuff and then stick botulism in their face, okay, botex in their face and get all sorts of different you know, procedures. The bottom line is is that we are an unhealthy society because we have the freedom to make unhealthy choices that might not be popular with people, but you know, that's just the

way freedom is. That's the way liberty is. You can make unhealthy decisions. And these tiny ingredient changes to food items are only going to make them more expensive and they're not going to make us healthier. So I don't

exactly support everything on the vaccine issues. I think he's made some pretty startling and provocative moves, but I will tell you my sympathy is with him sometimes because this wouldn't be happening if the public health industry and the public health sort of arena hadn't acted so poorly during COVID. And what's more, they never apologized. Never, There was never any constriction, and not one person Fauci. He walks around still acting like a proud peacock. He never said, you

know what, we overstepped. We should have done better. I shouldn't have funded that. Wuhan said, No, he never did. And so this is what you get when you treat people like this, When you shut down businesses, when you force people to put foreign substances into their bodies, you bet you're going to get an anti VAXX movement, and so you know, I'm sort of I have complicated opinions on this, yes, but but I feel like, you know, the publical community, the courages are what they got.

Julie Gunlock, you're the best. You're laughing. Thanks again, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

come that. We're gonna go first base? First? Oh, okay, first base. They put Joe e Vato over Tony Perez. Who they have is the d H which I you know? Okay, that's all right, I mean that's okay if they're in the lineup, is that? Yeah? Both? Yeah, second base, that's a layup. Correct number eight? No, no, don blessing game. I'm only kidding Joe Morgan. Gonna see what Joe Morgan? He said, Now here's the shortstop. Well, you got the nominees are Barry Larkin the Great number eleven, fifteen he

had fifteen for a year or two. Or Davy conceptsy on the Great number thirteen in Will Chamberlain. Who do they have it short? Either Barry or Davy? I say Barry? Who they got on there? I'm not gonna tell you what do you say? I'll say the Man of Bowler. That's it, because he's got the World Series ring, which are christ Dave VP, but he was the MVP of the league with conception even close to getting the MVP of the leg I don't think so. I think third base,

third base. There's that number again, Pete wild Man's buddy. Wild Man's butt buddy, is what you said? That's his butt buddy. You never met on baseball? You know that southfield? So first base Joe e Vado, second base Joe Morgan, shortstop Barry Larkin, and third base Pete Rose. You know, put those four against any infielders. Now you're gonna and we gotta go to catcher, not go to catcher yet, that's a little I think it's Dan bill Ardello. How'd

you know that? Anyway? I don't know left field or Johnny Edwards ten years with the Reds, MVP in the National and the American League. Number twenty bingo, Frank Robinson. Robinson should have ever been traded? Well, I met in a hotel room once in Detroit. Okay, I'm up there

playing baseball with Hal Pennington's team. Yeah, with my buddy Bob Ornsen, and we knew the Reds the Orioles were in town to play Detroit and we had a free afternoon we were staying and the same hotel as the Reds I saw, so I'm sorry, same hotel as the Oriols. And I watched some of the oriol players running around and I say, why didn't you? And I walk up to Frank Robinson and say, hello, We're from Cincinnati. So

I said, okay, let's do it. We waited around the lobby, acting as if you know, they were autographed seekers that said at Brice Robinson, pretty good walker twenty Frank Robinson. I walked up to him and said, I called him mister Robinson, opposite for missus Robinson. It was mister Robinson, right. I said, I'm from Cincinnati. We're here to play in a tournament. He looked at me and said, so what, and he walked away. I'll say, I said, okay, oh, well your big moment, my moment of glory. Wow? He

said so what and walked away. What the hell? Anyway, I didn't meet him in a hotel. That's good. How about Eric Davis and center number forty four? What about that Ben getting better than that? But how about the best Reds player of the first fifty years of the twentieth century who played center field, ed Rousch. Do you think Ed Roush or Eric Davis. I'm going with forty four. Right Field had five or six great years with the Big Red Machine, went to the Mets and George Foster

in his prime, in in their prime. I'll put that team. And then the catcher not Dan Beardello, Johnny Edwards, Not Johnny Edwards. Not ed about Ed Thominson, Eddie Thobinson. No, come on one too, Ryan Hannigan one, two, three, four, Johnny Benn that's it right there, Johnny Bench, Now on the mound, starting pitcher? Could it be suits Mario Soto? Pretty good? Jim Maloney. I think he was the best pitcher of the Reds ever had until he hurt his shoulder. I think Marty would agree with.

Pretty darn good? And the relief pitcher wild man's favorite Danny Graves. Correct. Wow over the missile? Yes, wow over the missile so that its first base is Vodo, Second is Joe Morgan, shortest Barry, third is Pete. Outfield is left field Robinson, center, Eric Davis, and not Ed Rausch. I think Jim's gott plays softball with Ed Eddie Roush. Right field is George Foster. Managing is Sparky d h is Tony Perez. Right handed pitcher is reliever is Danny Graves.

Eppa Rixie the mount Wow, how about that? I'll know about that. I say, give me some sports, will he the stood reporters of Proud Service, every local Tamestar Heating and air conditioning dealers Tamestar quality you can feel in beautiful northern Kentucky called Tom Reckton Heating and air Conditioning at eight five nine two six one eighty two sixty nine five. We also want to thank Lears Prime Market Willie for our lunch today Deluxe Delhi located in beautiful

downtown Milford. Learsprime dot com. Lears Prime always a cut above. Danny from Dayton says, what about Tom Seaver? Wouldn't he hear? But he's only here a couple of years. What about Tom Browning? Well, that's pritting, that's hop bad either. I think Jose blame it on Ree in a big game. There's two games he pitched against Oakland, gave up a total of one and two games. Steinberg's Tom sever but

in his prime. I would take Tom Seaver or Jim Maloney in their prime and worse hand Hamilton, Joe Noxie. Where is he not out on the list? I bet you he would be on the pitching staff. How about all the time broadcasters? I'll give you an option, Red Barber, Al Michaels, George Bryson, Marty Brenahan or Tommy Thrall. What is the all time people? Yes? What about the Cowboy? That's the second one? Oh you mean overall? Okay, overall? I would say Marty's number one. I got this from

Russ Jackson. He knows everything. Oh boy, Epper Rixy is the only Red starting pitcher to spend the majority of his scurred with the Reds. Who's in Cooperstown? There's see, those are the facts I rely about. Okay, the only Reds pitcher primarily here in Cooperstown is Upper Ricksy. Sever was here five plus years. But Epper, do you remember Epi Rixy? I know the name, but not No, I wasn't about Bubbles Hargrove. I remember, I remember, I remember him.

I've heard of that name. Yes, Epa ricks the only starting pitching for the Reds spend most of his time here. That's the differential right there with you agree? All star update. Well, he brought to you by Cincinnati Tax Resolution Power by TOPE call five one three five one three t o p H. Of course, Seattle's Kyle Rally wins the home run Derby last night. He's known as the big Dumper first catcher and to win the home run Derby and the second Mariners player to win it, is the big

Dumper a compliment or a criticism. I guess we hits him or something. I don't think he's fat. He takes a big dump and then the second Mariners player to win the home run Derby since Ken Griffy. That's that your guy, Now, why didn't the Reds all time team have on either of the Griffies, Because right field, what about Parkway? What about Dave Park, the Cobra, it was right here about three or four years, but I think George Foster was here six years, seven years. I don't know.

That's all up to the choir. Don't blame us. Andrew Abbott and Elie day La Cruz represent the Reds Tonight, Willie and the at L with the All Star Game and Action at eight on ESPN fifteen thirty, and one of these days, I think dla Cruz is going to going to go into the home run derby. But I think it's a little you know, I like to have seen him do it.

the big dumper because he takes big dumps. How do they know that's sick? I put the people monitoring now when you go to the bathroom because he has a large backside. Well that's what that's the guy's nickname. Is that a good nickname for the Well? I mean he got you know, I mean they Lee May was the Big Bopper twenty three right, Well, skiing Pride to Birmingham, Alabama. What about Skens and the girlfriend? Wonder what she's going to have on tonight? Nothing? Thank you? You think Jordan's

locations in northern Kentucky. The Bengals willy open up with training camp one week from tomorrow. Still nothing what with Trey Hendrickson and Or Stewart. The twenty twenty five inductees to the Bengals Ring of Honor will be announced tomorrow morning at ten a m. We've been pushing for Bob Trumpy. See what I hope he and the great Number sixty two get in FC Cincinnati back in action tomorrow night, getting at a bitter taste of a defeat out of

their system to the Columbus Crew last Saturday. But it doesn't get any easier as the Big M rolls into town Messy and enter Miami CF tomorrow night TQL Stadium. It's a blue out where Blue Messi's got ten goals in his last five MLS matches. He averages two per game, which in soccer is pretty good, right, I would say so. Yes. So he's probably in town as we speak, or going to be. But the way he hangs out messy, messy wherever he wants. He's in inturgible, up in the sky somewhere,

just kind of floating around. Maybe he's at the Purple Poulay in New York. Might want to call him, ask him, is MESSI there? Who made a mess? Messy? Messy? It's messy at the Purple Pulay on York Street in Newport. If you want to go with me to the Purple Poulay, why not? If you're I and I'm flying, I bet you're cheap. How about you and the wild Man getting together and debate the great issues about the purple at the be great. It's his color. He loves purple. I

love purple too. I walked in love. Although he went to Anderson, he does like Elder a lot. But he's in the Hall of Fame. There are you in the Hall of Fame of Cole Raine. He wants to know, are you in the Hall of Fame? I'm a distinguished alumni. Are you at Deer Park, Yes, okay, first class and then he's on the What is he on the wall at Indian Hill. I don't understand why a guy at Anderson goes to Indian Hill. I don't. I mean, I don't.

I don't get it. I mean that's like you saying, hey, I want to I'm I'm the I'm the I'm on the I'm on the way with Ted McKay at the park. But then you know, you say, well, I'm really I'll go to Sycamore, I'll go whatever, the home of the Aviators. I don't know, segment. We have nothing but issues everywhere. But Olivia donn b George Hudson. That's a match up right there. What would Rock say? What would the Rock say? And a stare down between those two, he'd probably go

with Olivia. How about Paul Skins coming here to pitch? Would that be something? I can't say. The Powers may trade him at some point. Yeah, they're gonna get They're gonna get half the Yankees to trade him. Judge, get them all, Tonton and all of them, right, get them all. Did they want to play in Pittsburgh? Not good. They're probably already thinking about the they've been thinking about the Steelers since the day after opening day? When when's the

Steelers open? I've bet Paul's thinking about Olivia. What do you think? That's for sure gymnastic in our approach to life? Where's the name big Thumper? Big Dumper came from? Well, you learned something new every day on this show. So that's the guys. That's the guy's nickname. Sorry, how long will how long will it be before he's out of out of Oakland, which I guess is no Seattle Settle. Well, he'll be an open Sacramento and then Las Vegas No, and yeah, and then uh, he'll probably be a Yankee

by in two years. Everybody will be a Yankee. That's true. Everybody either that or a Dodger, that's for sure. All right, say give me out of the Stude report. We've scheduled the state auditor, Keith Faber for two oh five. Yeah, and we'll see if he comes on him he's got the guts, he don't have the guts. I think he'll have the guts.

Awareness Month? What which is half over by? Now? What Accordion Awareness Month? Accordion? If you play the accordion, it's your month. We leave you with the immortal words of the Stood Report.

convicted of seven felonies. In addition to that, she actually had the goll to have the Regional Transit Authority pay for her interviewing trips trying to find a new job, and so we put her, we convicted her. I actually tried that case personally, and look, we're trying to say to people, if you're going to waste our views or steal tax dollars, you're not safe anywhere Ohio.

her defenses was, well, I didn't profit from this personally. Yes, I was going to keep my job at the levee passed, and yes I asked for a big raise up to the levee past, but I didn't I didn't financially benefit personally. The short answer is the law doesn't require financially benefited. The law only requires us to prove that she was lying, cheating, and stealing and trying.

was in there auditing. They came across vehicles, and as a capital asset a vehicle when they get rid of it, we want to know what happened to the vehicle and what happened to the money. And their stories kept changing as to what happened to these vehicles, and so our audit team tipped off our criminal unit, our special investigations unit, and they went in there with our forensic auditors and the rest is history.

had over sixty exhibits. As a lawyer, you know what that means. That's an awful lot of paper in a case like this. And so we go in and we prosecute those and it's funny story. I was appointed by the local prosecutor along with my lawyers as special prosecutor. In a meeting with my lawyers, one of them said, hey, why don't you come up and prosecute this with us? And I said absolutely, I'm been And so I did the grand jury and then we prosecuted it and got a conviction on all seven charges.

You know, she's a non violent offender with no criminal record, so the odds are she'll she'll do a little bit of time, but probably not twenty years, and so she'll have some time hanging over and hopefully she'll.

My auditors went into the Columbus zooit case after we got alerted to it, and found that the problem with the Columbus Zoo, with the executive stealing money and living the lifestyles of the Richmond famous on Columba Zoo assets, was much worse than what the zoo board thought, and we worked with the Delaware County prosecutor of the Attorney General's Office, and by prosecutors went in and we convicted five of the executives, five of the leaders of the

Columba Zoo, some of which are doing upwards of seven years in the state prison. I always say they're guested the people of Ohio for an extended period of time for their misdeeds, and that ended up being millions of dollars. I think it was ended up being about two point three two point four million dollars.

his buddies to go see a concert. They used the country club that the zoo paid for, and he would have as one of the executives, would have all those family members and everybody go dying at the country club on the zoo. One of the guys they had a motor home, and he used that motor home for personal use all around the country, build it back to the zoo. I mean, this is the kind of stuff that they did over and over again, and it was real clear that they knew.

officers there. You know how important it is for our local prosecutors and police to have a law and order environment and to get the support they need, and that's certainly something we're going to make a priority. But one of the big things we're going to emphasize, and this is just taking what Dave's done and building upon it, is elder abuse and the cyber fraud stuff that we're

seeing out there, these cyber criminals. It's for most of us, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when you're going to get hit, and we need to take a better stand and say don't come to Ohio. And so we're going to up up that unit and go after these people who are trying to take advantage of senior citizens and frankly all of us.

in about ten years. And if I don't call in and give them my credit card number, I'm going to be arrested in the morning. What do you think about that?

course I didn't. And once once I said I didn't, they started wanting a whole bunch of information.

we weren't disconnected, your scammer. I'm up on you. Ultimately, if somebody calls you like that, the best piece of advice flip over your credit card on the backs are real numbers on your credit card. That's the number you use to communicate with them. Don't give numbers that they do. Don't go over the internet. All of that stuff can be scammed. Call that real number. When I did, I called Chase, asked for their fraud department, talk to them, and lo and behold, it was not the Chase credit

card company that called me. They did not have a fake application in my name. They just wanted to get information so they could submit a f a fake application. They also do that stuff that's happening out there, and.

pay account twelve hundred dollars for something. And should you even bother to contact them or just ignore it?

it's an actual real challenge. When you actually see the charge on your account, you can contest it and their processes for that, but do not respond. The other one I love seeing Bill, is you just want to free gas grill from the low sweep Steaks or the home depot or somebody else is sending you something. Let me give you a hint. You never entered the SUP stakes. You didn't win it, and so it's a scam to get information from you, and so do not respond to

those emails. Do not respond to those texts. The scammers are really good at social engineering, and they're going to try and get information from you, and what they're doing is just they're scammers. That's the kind of stuff. I don't know how many saw the Beekeeper movie, and I always say I wish I had some more guys out there like the Beekeeper to go out and catch these people who are scamming people, particularly senior citizens, and bring them to know what I would call traditional you know,

range justice or Old West justice. But the reality is you've got to rely on governmententities, and the Attorney General's office is one of those places that can do more.

cops are told don't enforce those laws. I see around Central PARKWAYOTR, Saint Francis, Seraph, large numbers of individuals engaging themselves in open air prostitution, drug sales, marijuana use, and worse, and the city cops they're overstretched under They're overwhelmed and stretched,

and they can't respond properly. If you become the Attorney general and Cincinnati remains a sanctuary city, in which, believe it or not, there is going to be two thousand cars stolen in the city of Cincinnati this year, along with another one thousand cars in the county. So in hamletin County, we're gonna have three thousand cars stolen. We have open air use of drugs. The city police do not enforce traffic laws. They put in speed bumps. Is there something you can do about any of that?

used to be the broken window approach. You know, you fix the broken windows because you don't want the rest of the community to deteriorate. And if you ignore small crimes, it doesn't take very long for people to believe you're also going to ignore the big ones. And we're seeing this in cities all across the country, and certainly starting to see this in Ohio and where we've got progressive, left wing prosecutors that think it's doing somebody a favor

by ignoring the law and not enforcing the law. But we're going to see our communities suffer, and that's something we just can't accept.

In a fight we're talking or are we talking? They're gonna stare at each other, just look at each other.

it's Tony Benneran. I got a memo today. We're on a bowling team. We're going to bowl today at four o'clock. If you noticed that I forgot to wear my red bowling shirt today. Yes, yes, talk to each other and coordinate what you're wearing. Yeah, you guys run into UC Bearcat bowling team. Though I'm just saying the Central bowling team red and black. I'm only going to bowl if you have santra the cold rain? Are you running for?

But she's awfully flexible, referring to Jordan Hudson her in the Mermaid outfit? The Mermaid outfit? Have you seen that?

money on that one. That's when I say, when Joe Burrow takes up with Olivia Dunn, it's going to be controversies, That's all I'm saying.

half feet Baby, I matched the Dolph. Yes, is right here somewhere they're going to match the Dolphins. You wait and see seventeen and oh right, Well, then they go to the play and then all the way to the bowl. If three playoff games are right, oh yeah, long twenty and oh wouldn't that be something. Wouldn't that be some that would be solid? Twenty three and oh? Would would win the whole thing? I think twenty and oh and he went seventeen and you go skip the from I

think you play three extra games, don't you? Yeah? Super Bowl? Okay, twenty that's pretty good, isn't that? Twenty and Oh? Wouldn't that be something?

Would you agree, yes, don't steal that guy. Don't steal that guy's car. No, don't do that. So are are you saying that the career criminal? Is he in the right?
