Welcome. This glory is wonderful. When's the afternoon, the tri-state? In fact, rain is coming. Remnants of a hurricane may come through Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana on Sunday. We're going to continue to monitor that. But until then, of course, the governor's racing Ohio is hot to trot and right now, according

3:06to polling, I can't believe it. Allegedly, Vivek Ramaswamy has a small or non-existent lead over Dr. Amy Acton. And by the way, we've invited Dr. Amy Acton to come on to talk because I've had on Vivek Ramaswamy several times. And at this point, she has turned down the invitations to address the media. Joining you now is Vivek Ramaswamy Vivek. Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. May I ask you a somewhat long word, a question? Sure. Surely. At this point, we have a candidate on the other side who refuses to allow videos taken of her when she speaks. I've seen some of her tent meetings and her campaign managers on the mic saying that pleased to not take any videos about what you're going to hear. Secondly, no videos and no meeting. I see this video of you talking about you at some FOP function, which you got the endorsant by the way of the coppers. And you tried, you saw her about 50 yards away. You start walking toward her. Hey, never met her before. It can't imagine you two have never met, but you're trying to go to shake her hand, wish

4:08her well, et cetera. And her entourage blocked you from shaking her hand. It came out the other day that she doesn't have a driver's license for a period of time. It was either suspended or taken away because she said she was too tired to renew her license and it was suspended. Of course, we have her drinking problems and her drug problems. And the issue of whether she's a doctor or not is up in the air, much like Dr. Abdul in Michigan who's not a doctor. But he says he's a doctor. Last year, she had an income of less than $1. She seemingly doesn't work. And she's had numerous jobs. And so if you would lose to a person like that, what would it say about you? Well, look, I'm not going to lose Billy. And the question is the reason the reason it is, the reason that trust the people of the state, because the real people who will lose in that case is all of us. And there are a lot of families who are depending on the next governor to be able to make some tough decisions about how we're going to cut property taxes, about how we're going to cut your electric bills, about how we're going to re-institute the death penalty.

5:11These are tough decisions that are going to fall on the shoulders of the next governor. I'm prepared to take it on. I've built multiple, multi-billion dollar businesses across multiple different sectors, developed life-saving therapies for patients who need them. I went to public school through eighth grade and Cincinnati, as you know, I went to St. X. I've had a career where I embraced success. I've enjoyed the successes of this country and the state gave me the opportunity to live. I'm running against a woman whose only qualification for this job was a short-lived stint as health director when the pressure turned up. She quit. And that turns out, Billy, it's the longest job she's ever held with those few months in that position. You can't make this stuff up in terms of even that short few months. You didn't mention it, but the reporting of her way, her colleagues were unable to reach her in what she was doing on the job. I read that and I couldn't even, couldn't even fathom it. For that person to be the governor of this state is unthinkable. And that choice, the beauty of it, it doesn't belong to anybody else other than us, to

6:12we the people who create that government that's accountable to us. And so for the people who listen to this, you're upset about that. Don't just be upset. Get out and vote. The early voting is already open and they're banking on Republicans not showing up because it's a midterm cycle because people will say we're upset about inflation or this or that. Well, the truth is, are there problems to fix? Yes, there are. But I'm going to be the governor who does it in this state if we get it right in 27 days. So get out to those polls, vote, bring nine family members with you and will it answer your question in a long-winded way. The answer is we're going to win this election because I trust the people of this state. They are too wise and too smart to do otherwise. And Vivek Ramaswamy and one of the postings of Jack Windsor, I have him on now and then, there's five, six, seven state employees who said where's Amy became like a moniker and she was found on occasion in her office kind of breaking down mentally and sobbing and they had to get her up a duster off and get a nice white coat on her to act like she's

7:16a doctor and this is on top of the other problems. Now, one of the commercials running against you is a bunch of a couple old people and God respect old people. My producer Tony Bender is quite old, but God respect him. And one of these commercials says, well, you tried to solve the dementia Alzheimer's difficulty and you made millions of dollars because it failed. That's a bunch of BS. If it failed, if it failed, you wouldn't have made any money at all. But can you explain, can you respond to those commercials? The first thing I would say is this says a lot, not just about Amy acting in competence, it says a lot about her character that she would tell these lies to millions of people across Ohio from her campaign. It's coming out, Willie, that she is a chronic liar. We're seeing more and more of that by the day. Almost somebody who has almost a mental problem, like a psychological problem with chronic lying and I think we get to see evidence of that worse by the day. This ad is one of them. The truth of the matter is I have developed fixed medicines that are FDA approved today,

8:19including a life-saving therapy in children, including treatment for prostate cancer that saving lives today. In fact, one of the men who benefited from that in Ohio automatically came to us at an event and then he ended up doing an ad that's also on the air about how that's helped in his life. That's how I achieved great success and in drug development. Anyone who knows the first thing about developing medicines is that most of these trials fail. That's what makes it such a daunting endeavor, particularly in tough areas like Alzheimer's disease. There will be no medicines developed unless you actually are willing to try the medicines, take the risks and see which ones work. Among the medicines we developed, one of them was an Alzheimer's drug. It didn't hurt anyone, but it didn't work. Okay, so be it. The drug didn't advance. Take others, got approved. That's how I achieved my success. But the idea of villainizing someone for trying to do good for patients with Alzheimer's disease while doing nothing as a self-proclaimed doctor yourself is shameful. It is telling that the Ohio State Medical Association, the leading association of doctors in

9:21the state, you would think if the first time in history of doctors running for governor, they might endorse her. They flocked in our direction. They endorsed me against Dr. Amy Acton, which says a lot. That tells you something. It also tells you something. The biotech company that I built is one of the most successful biotech companies founded in the 21st century. That's what I'm grateful for. If they're villainizing that, it tells you a lot about how they're going to run the state into the ground. If they're knowingly lying about it, it also tells you something about her character. I want people to continue watching out and keeping their eyes open for the evidence of her lying about, not just that, but a lot of other things too. I've done that topic for years about drugs. It's been a miracle what's happened with drugs today. Nine and a 10 drugs are not finally approved by the FDA. 10% may make it, but the one 10% that make it have got to pay for all the trials of the 90% of drugs that don't make it for the pharmaceutical companies, the scientists, and the researchers

10:22to be in business. When you have a $500 million cost per drug that has failed, the one that makes it has got to pay for all those expenses and then also have a return to those who invented it and created it. That's a good thing. It's not a bad thing. Hell, it's a good thing. I'm on two or three drugs myself for cholesterol and high blood pressure. I'm thinking, what if we didn't have those drugs? Dr. Dean Karyakis has the heart unit there at Christ. I saw him the other day, told me without these drugs, you'd probably be dead right now. I said, okay. So guys like you, middle class from Springdale, how you went to Princeton grade school, you got in his same ex and when you were a young kid, they made you the valedictorian of the class at St. X with all the Jesuits running around. They said, that guy right there, what's your name again? Vivegra, you had straight A's, led the class, and then you go into the biotech world and create these magnificent drugs, knowing that 90% of the time you're going to fail, but

11:26you succeed it and you use that against you as a negative kind of pisses me off. You know what I'm saying? It does. It should, Willie, because that is not just an attack on me. It is an attack on success and an attack on success is an attack on America. And these people have no love of this country or what made it great. What made this country is that we are made of bold risk takers, the men who go west, the pioneers, the explorers, the people who take risks or other may benefit. That's what our founding fathers were. That's who inspires me. That's in my career as an entrepreneur. You describe the cycle of developing life-saving medicines. You described it perfectly. And to get one success as a big deal, I built a company that has developed six. Think about that, Willie, in just a little over a decade now, that's a 25 billion plus company on the NASDAQ that I was the sole founder and CEO of. And that's why I can leave this state. I've signed the front of a paycheck, not just the back of one, I've hired thousands of people. Because the complicated job, it's a complicated budget, we need a serious executive at the

12:27top, a businessman and not a failed bureaucrat. That's what this election is about. It's about ideology, but it's also about a difference in competence. And if every person at home thinks about who's actually going to be able to bring down this property tax bills and still balance the budget, who's actually going to be able to set energy policies that put more energy onto the grid, bring down those electric bills. Who's actually going to prosecute Medicaid waste fraud and abuse? Who understands health care? To put those billions of dollars back into your pockets. Who can actually make those tough decisions? I'm stepping up for this job because I know I can, but I'm running against a woman who, in any of my businesses or any business in the state, you probably wouldn't hire her for an entry-level position. To put that person in charge of this responsibility would be devastating to Ohio. And like I said, the people of this state, I trust them. We have the greatest people of any state in the country. You don't come to Ohio for the beaches or the mountains. You come to Ohio because of the people of this state.

13:27Who I love. I was born and raised in the state. We're raising our kids in the state. I know the state. I trust the people of the state. We're going to get it right. We're going to win this and lead Ohio to our greatest days ahead, Willie. And I'm excited to lead the way. And one thing on that front, I was watching my friend Joe Kerman on Squawk Box on CNBC about two weeks ago. By the way, he went to San ex high school and he announced that a big drum roll, the number one state in America right now, number one state for business formation. I was thinking, okay, Texas Mississippi, Florida. No, no, it's Ohio. And so up to this point, you're in a position to take the best and make it better. And I would say this about Amy Acton. I'm not sure she's a doctor. She said she's a doctor. However, the doctors in Ohio are state, the Ohio State Medical Association endorsed you over her, those who know her best, like her least.

14:27And the doctors of Ohio said the vagram of Swami is not a doctor. They looked into your background with these miracle drugs that we have. And they said the doctors who know the truth, endorse you and not her. Now secondly, talk about your attempt because you're like a nice guy. You know, you're easy to walk up to talk about when the cops will, the FOP and you're at some powwow to get their endorsement with Democrats and Republicans. Tell the American people what happened at that powwow when you try to shake her hand. I've never seen anything like this in my career, Willie, not in business, not in politics, not ever. Okay. So the FOP, right, is the fraternal order of police. They have this tradition. They bring together candidates in both parties in the middle of a race. The nice break from the action. And you talk to each other, right? You have some drinks, you got some snacks, they have some games going on, some music. It's a lot of fun. So I'm there, John. He used to have their shared browns there. All the Republicans are there, Democrats are there, Amy Acton's there.

15:28And it turns out, you know, Willie, I've never met her actually, right? So we're running this race and I feel like, you know, we're two years talking about each other. We might as well shake hands, right? If I'm going to leave this state, we got at least talk to the people. Even who are opponents and be civil. That's just how, you know, I was brought up. That's the Ohio I grew up in. That's the way we do it. So I talked to shared brown here and I, you know, we have some fun. We really each other. We laugh a little bit. Move on. And then I see Amy Acton. So I approach her. I just want to shake hands, wish you well in the race. And, you know, it's a tough, tough race, but all the best. Okay. Something like this. I approach her to shake her hand. I've never seen something like this. Her entire team had clearly talked about it beforehand. Circles her, including her to lieutenant governor, flanks her. And won't let me shake her hand as if that's some type of intrusion. I've never seen anything like that. And this is the person, the person who quit on the job, the person who couldn't do the job while she had it, the person who has had all kinds of issues that I don't want to go into that have been described with go to even capacity, executive

16:30capacity. That person came and shake her opponent's hand. I'd still think that's a good example for who we want leading our state. I don't think that's what we want our kids growing up and saying that's the person who is the leader of even the Democrats and want to see that. That's not who we are. You know, Cincinnati, where I grew up, right, I was in even Dale. We had the house to the left of me growing up. They would have a bill clinton side. The house to the right of me. They would have a Bob Dole sign. My house didn't have either son. My parents are generally eight political, but we're all still friends. We'd still get together. Sometimes I would, you know, I would with the neighbors have healthy debates and dialogue and argument when I was in middle school and in high school. That's America. That's Ohio. That's the state we know and to say now in a race for governor, right? You'd rather run two years with two candidates, you know, having 30 second ads, but can't even shake hands. One of them can't even debate refuses to show up. I think it says a lot about where we are. Well, and for my part, part of my job is governor's turned that around.

17:31I want to bring economic growth to the state. I want to put more money in your wallet and then coming out, but I also want to revive our civic culture and lead the state with a one oh high mentality. That's what I'm going to do when we win this. And many times campaigns do not build character, but it reveals character. And the character of Amy acting has been revealed as well as your character. Lastly, about a minute remaining. I'm one of those guys that watch Scoob and a turtle debates. And I am on C span. I'm on YouTube, quite a bit. And I watched two nights ago, three nights ago, Steve Hilton running for governor in California, which is a tough task for a Republican was debating Xavier Biserra. And he's the Democratic nominee talking about homelessness, lack of business development, the fact that taxes, 13% taxes state and local. If you make a high income, you pay 39.6 to the feds. By the time you get done, you pay 55 to 60% of your taxes to the feds of the state of California. And Biserra did so poorly that the next debate on Monday, he said, I'm canceling

18:35and I'm unavailable. I have a small medical procedure. He's getting something removed from his from his ass. Some sort of a dermat, dermatology, you know, head of skin cancer or something, which is, you know, that's not good. But he's not going to debate. And you've offered and many have offered before for Dr. Amy acting. There may not be a doctor to debate. I stand at the same place, look, an eyeball to eyeball. It's happened all the time. She refuses to debate. She will not let video be taken of her when she speaks, when she does speaks. One has questions about her sobriety, things of that character. And so will you make one more attempt? If I can get Dr. Amy Ackton, who is in communication with our program director at IHR media, to do a debate here with me, would you show up with a debate on the Bill Cunningham show with Dr. Amy Ackton? Yes, absolutely. And I said, yes, to CNN. And I said, yes, to NBC. And I'll say yes to you, Willie. I think we should do it. I think it serves the voters well.

19:36I think it disrespects the voters that she's not willing to show up. And the truth is she's not scared of you and she's not scared of me. She's scared of the people at home listening to this. She's scared of the voters because she doesn't want to answer for her record. She doesn't want to answer for her positions. She doesn't want to answer for absence of a plan. And what I would do in that forum is I'd tell you exactly how I'm going to bring down property taxes. I'm going to tell you exactly how I'm going to bring down your electric bills. I'm going to tell you exactly how I'm going to bring down your healthcare expenses through healthcare price transparency and combating Medicaid fraud. I'm going to tell you how I'm going to clean up the streets of Cincinnati. Oh, look at what happened the other night with the UC students. Enough is enough. She compares the cops to the KKK. That's what she compares law enforcement to. I'm going to support the cops but bring judicial reforms that stop activists judges from sending repeat violent offenders back on the streets and end the sanctuary status. Tanksory city status is Cincinnati. These are the things I want to talk about and she wants to hide from them because she knows she has no plan. She knows the people wouldn't agree with what she has to say, which is why they keep trying to skate by without that debate.

20:39But if you can't do it basic debate, you can't lead this state. And my part, Willie, I think when the people deserve to know it. And if she does show up, which I hope she does, there's still some time. I stand still gladly willing to do it and I'll at least give her credit for showing up. I think savior, but Sarah, I think she would have the same reaction to Democrat hand in California. You can't defend the record there. Therefore, I'm going to have a thermatologist look at something on my butt because it might be skin cancer. I can't make it. As I said, campaigns do not build character, but it reveals character. And we now have the reveal of her character and yours. And Vivegrama Swami, a good luck to you in the next 27 days. And may God bless you and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you, Willie. All right. Let's continue with more about not showing up for work, how about having no job, how about having your driver's license suspended, how about having no videos taken because I'm made to look so foolish because of what I say, how about having your teenage daughter calling the police on your behavior for domestic violence, how about drinking and drug problems?

21:40How can she be tied with Vivegrama anything? I don't know. News coming up, your home of the bangles news radio 700 W. All right. Dave Keaton hit the music, hit the music, please. Another journey and broadcast of pervade is underway with 10. Okay. After one o'clock today will be Eric Conroy running for Congress against Greg Lansman. As you may know, I had on Greg Lansman about a week ago sitting right there. So I've invited Eric Conroy into the studio, starting about 107 today. Talk about why he's running for Congress in the first congressional district. He is a West side or an elder guy. Unfortunately, he couldn't get into Deer Park high school went to elder. After that, he joined the military as a went to Colorado Springs, the Air Force officer, rank a captain, the government switched him over to the CIA working in the Middle East. And after all those years is coming back home and run for Congress.

22:41Now one good thing Greg Lansman did and Greg Lansman as a Jew, which to me is a great positive. You know, my boss as a practicing a Roman Catholic is a Jewish carpenter. And one good thing Greg Lansman did right after the so called war started on February the 28th. There was a quick resolution put together by Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, saying do you support the activities in Iran? There were three Democrats in the Congress who voted yes with Donald Trump. And that was Greg Lansman. He was one of the three. At a lucid moment said this is something that we've all said for 50 years has got to end. They've killed thousands of Americans. They killed hundreds of thousands of others, mainly Muslims all over the Middle East. It's a despotic regime. And I've played for you previously the cuts of every democratic politician from Jimmy Carter through Joe Biden and Kamala Harris saying that we must deal with the Iranian problem

23:41because they're getting a nuclear weapon. The IAEA at a switchland said they've enriched uranium well north of 60%, which means they can produce seven nuclear bombs. So everyone's saying, yeah, they're going to get a nuclear weapon and they have processing plants, uranium enrichment plants. They have missile technology. And therefore they want to get a nuclear weapon. And when they get it when some crisis arises, they're going to nuke Israel, then come to America with a boat or a missile. And there's not much we can do about it. So all the Democrats have said what we got to deal with Iran. And I've played for you the cuts of everyone and I'm saying they sound like Donald Trump. They're the same words, but we haven't dealt with it. This guy did Trump did. So Greg Lansman, one of three Democrats voted with Donald Trump in support of the attack we had on Iran and response to thousands and thousands of attacks they made against us

24:42and against other European interests mainly against us. And I'm an as Eric Conroy. How many of your fellow soldiers, sailors and airmen were killed by Iran and the answer is thousands of Americans have been killed by Iran. So yes, we must deal with it. And they're getting worse and not better. So I asked Greg Lansman, why'd you do that? Why'd you support Donald Trump? He wanted to sidestep the issue of course. Being a Democrat supporting Donald Trump is not a lifelong event. So what happened? And then I asked him three, four weeks later as the war was raging in a sense. A lot of air power was being used. No boots on the ground that we're aware of. He switched his vote to, I'm against and the reason he switched his vote was I came Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi told him, look, you can't be seen as supporting Donald Trump. Democrats cannot do that. And so about three weeks later, he said out of hell with it, then he stood in line with

25:43other Democrats and marching over the cliff. And so I'm going to ask Eric Conroy, his support for the efforts in Iran, they're close to feeding, they're close to faltering by Scott Besson and the president and Jadie Vance. And I don't know if close means a day, a week, a month or six months from now, but whatever it takes, we have to win. We've come too far. We've come too far to turn back now. I'm starting to sound like Hillary Clinton at a campaign event. But nonetheless, so Eric Conroy is in a redrawn district, which is plus five Republican. And most smart money says in these midterms that party out of power does quite well. And so maybe the plus five means the two of them are even. But I'm not sure. Eric Conroy knows about Gettah, knows about elder from the west side. I think he's my congressman to be, I think Warren Davidson is my congressman now, but I'm not sure. They redraw the district so much. I don't know what the hell is going on. And if I don't know, I'm sure you don't know either.

26:43So he appears on paper to be a good man. Eric Conroy will be here at 107 today. And then after two o'clock today, we'll be Brendan Call, who was chief of staff to my friend, Charlie Luchen. And he's the director. He's the producer of Blink. Blink is Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. But the big nights are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I hear these numbers. Is it possible? Two million people are coming downtown to look at a Blink. Give you some proportion. When we do the, the big tennis tournament put on, of course, by John Barrett, Western and Southern at that Linder, Cancer and Linder, a tennis center that they have numbers like 200,000 people come there for those, for those 14 days, 200,000 people. I went there this year. It was fabulous. Wonderful. 200,000. We're talking 10 times that number. 10 times the Cincinnati open when the Reds and Bengals, for example, would play together

27:44at the same time, which is unlikely, but does occur occasionally. The two of them together may draw 100,000 people. Okay. How about 20 times that number? Two million. And so I've gone each year. It's happened. Each year has gotten better. It's a wonderful event. I think I hope there's no violence. Much like the UC campus or those college co-eds, having the crap kicked out of them by a mob a gang. By the way, the gang members are now out of juvenile court because of a judge bloom. She doesn't believe anyone needs to be in jail if they're under the age of 18, even if they commit aggravated robberies and phalonies assault. And those three girls who were within a moment of their life of having an eye taken out or a skull fracture, which they had that have to have these tall, tough juveniles on top of these college co-eds having the crap kicked out of them. The video is awful. And that's all happening in an F tab is stand. And let's face it, we need two to three hundred more cops.

28:46And we don't hire them because $200 million was spent on the street car. We don't hire them because Iris Roli makes half a million dollars a year monitoring the police. The money's available. It's miss spent, not filling potholes, for example. And so the city council members have a defund the police mentality by not defunding the police, but by not hiring police. It's the same thing in every major city. My friends in New York tell me NYPD is down 5,000 cops. I'm told in Chicago, one of my great stations on Sunday night is GM. Tell me they're down 3,000 cops. I'm told in LA LA is down 4,000 cops because they don't defund police. They simply don't hire new policemen. That's what's happening since the night. Nothing's going to change unless you change it. And the missing Lincoln Cincinnati, Scotty Johnson, who comes on the slownie now and then city council member spent about 25 or 30 years as a police officer.

29:48And by the way, he's the one keeping the so called flock cameras operating in the city. And it's good arguments on both side. Get rid of them because of surveillance or not get rid of them because of law enforcement. There's good men and women on each side of that debate. I'm not sure where I fall at this point because you have sick or more township has flock cameras under the leadership of Tom Leedman. And it works famously. The county sheriff, Charmaine McAfee said she's getting rid of the flock cameras. And then I hear the city of Cincinnati again, liberal Democrats are keeping the flock cameras. Most communities outside of Cincinnati want to get rid of the flock cameras because it's surveillance where surveillance is happening all the time you may know. I have in my left hand my apple phone. And if I Google something, I get ads popping up immediately, immediately telling me, you're in court about this. Here's some advertisement. So it is it's surveillance is ubiquitous. And at least the flock cameras are intended to catch criminals, which they have caught criminals.

30:52I watched a police chief association get together about two months ago. They had 6,000 murders solved over a three year period, 6,000 murders through the use of flock cameras, 6,000. And as far as felonies being solved, well, North of 100,000 felonies have been solved through the use of flock cameras. That seems like a big deal, doesn't it? And I think we're under surveillance constantly anywhere. I assume when I walk into garage and are building, I assume I'm under surveillance. When I walk into a department store, which I seldom do or a croager, which I haven't done many years, I don't go shopping that there's cameras all over the place. It's not like boy, we get rid of flock cameras, the surveillance stops. No, no, no, it's going to continue anyway. There's good arguments on both sides. We'll see how that resolves, but I got off track. And so today is also the three year anniversary of the vicious, unprovoked attack by Hamas terrorist on Israel.

31:56I was there six months before that because of her, Bryzenfeld. Her Bryzenfeld is a great American. He's a great travel agent. And I got there six months before October the 7th. It was in May of 2023. I was there with a small group of renegades from Cincinnati about 20 or 25 of us had a great nine days in Israel. I went to Gaza, went to the West Bank, spent time in a lot of time in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, et cetera. By the way, Americans are loved in Israel and the West Bank, which are mainly Muslims. We spent quite a bit of time in Bethlehem, for example, in Nazareth, which is now held by the Muslims. And we couldn't have been treated better. And I always interacted with the native shall I say about what do you like? What don't you like living here? How's your life? How do you raise kids? How do you meet women? How do you meet girls? What kind of commerce do you have? House law enforcement kept my eyes open, looking around and talked to everybody. By the way, God, those in the West Bank could not have been more kind because Americans bring money.

33:01They couldn't have treated us better. But when we went south to Masada, Masada, spent time in Masada. It was dramatic near the Dead Sea. And then we were coming back. It's only it's in the desert, about a hundred miles south of Jerusalem. And it's all desert. I mean real desert. And we were stopped in the line of traffic. We were about a mile from Gaza from the fences there, looking to my left. And there was a small bridge that really just a little overpassed up with a lot of brush fires were taking place. And they took out the bridge. And so we had to make a decision. We're sitting there for about four or five hours waiting to see what was going to happen. A retired IDF captain was our guide. So to speak, this guy was very cognizant again. Herb Reisenfeld had a vote. We can sit here overnight, maybe through the next day. Hopefully the bridge will be quickly replaced or we can go along the long route. Go go left, go right, take about two and a half hours, get back to Jerusalem.

34:03Instead of about 45 minutes, we voted, say, let's get to hell out of here. So October 7, 2023 happened. I thought if that had happened on October the seventh and the people's judge, the great American and 20 Cincinnati, and where a mile from that border fence in Gaza, I wouldn't be here now. They would have killed me, hopefully, quickly instead of raping women, which was a regular event there. And right now in October the seventh, there's two hating radicals are celebrating. As I speak in New York City, the butchery of what happened on October the 7, 2023. These people are monsters calling them anti-Semites would not be kind enough. They planned the next unit that evade invasion on October the 7, killing about 1200,000 Israelis, injuring about 5,000 more at a music festival. And they were raping women, gang raping women as a regular event and mutilating them and a frenzy of satanic bloodlust.

35:04And for those fortunate enough to live, they went through many times a year and a half or two years of more gang rapes and tortures in the tunnels underneath, uh, underneath Gaza. And it was, it was unprovoked, attacked and they hid themselves under apartment buildings, under schools and hospitals and just begged the Israelis to respond by taking down the facility under which they were hiding, having a notified by the Jews on such and such a day that building's going to be gone. Get out. And when preaching about this, the leaders of the Muslim faith in Gaza would talk about if you die, you go straight to heaven. So stay where you are and the Hamas murderers wanted more civilian refute, more civilian murders for political purposes. And they wanted their own people to be killed. By the way, it was not a genocide. A genocide took place in Poland with the Jews, uh, between 1939 and 1945, when 98% of the Jews were obliterated by the Nazis in Poland.

36:06Right now compared to four or five years ago, 98% of God's sins are still there, still living. And no country's gone through more to avoid civilian casualties than the Israel did and responding to the attack. And America that, that number of dead, 1200 would have equipped us to have about 50,000 Americans killed. And on the way out of Texas back to Mexico, they would have taken about 20,000 hostages to hide in tunnels in Mexico. What we have done here, if someone had done that to us. So let's continue. Blind becomes available, five, one, three, seven, four, nine, seven, thousand. And we commemorate the sacrifice and the murder and the gang raping of a 1200 Israelis, 5,000 injured, about 250 surviving many survived in the tunnels by the satanic bloodless crew called Hamas. And they have promised by the way to do it again. They've said repeatedly when given the opportunity, we'll do exactly the same thing again.

37:08There's about 4,000 Hamas fighters still living in the tunnels under Gaza. At this point, no more than 50% of the tunnels have been obliterated by the IDF. The great majority of those living in the tunnels are Hamas fighters and murderers. And the Jews are spending time to hunt down every murderer, every rapist who did what they did on October the 7th, 2023. And they're bringing them to justice. I'll just continue with more. As I said, after 1 o'clock today, Eric Conroy will be here. Congressman, after 2 o'clock today, we'll be Brendan Call. He's the producer and director and CEO of Blink. He's going to give us the numbers on Blink and what that means, et cetera. We'll see what happens down the road. And I would encourage you as a great American. I'll look at both political parties and say which one has taken the risks to make America better. Which one is caring about the middle class? Which one is trying greatly to increase energy supplies in America and all over the world?

38:10And which party want more taxes, more regulation? Which party wants to open the southern border? Which party wants to knock down the walls of prisons and jails to free everyone inside? Which party believes in third world migration into this country, providing great welfare benefits at your expense? And which party wants to create jobs and which party wants to create more welfare independence? And I think the answer is obvious. Put aside your personal predilections or feelings about the words of Donald Trump. And look at his policies, whether they've worked or not, I've worked myself into a position thinking no matter what he says, I ignore what he says, what I care about is what he does. And what Trump has done is remarkable. It's unbelievable. Ignore his words and think about his deeds. The deeds are what count. Words are many, but deeds are precious and few. And the deeds of Donald Trump are incredibly great for this nation and has built a foundation

39:11for decades of economic growth as long as we stay the course. And don't put radical leftists in charge of anything, especially the state of Ohio to a candidate, Amy Acton, who doesn't have a job, may not be a doctor, has had her driver's license suspended, has had multiple calls to 911 from husbands about her drunkenness and drug and also mad behavior. There was a call to 911 in 2013 and one in 2019. That was the different marriage she was in. She's a stranger from her family. She lived in a tent, which was BS. And now her prescription for greatness in Ohio is disaster. And we have someone running Vivekan Ramaswami, who's achieved in business, has planned specifically laying out on his website to lower property taxes, lower the income tax and bring more money into Ohio and more jobs, not government dependency, but dammit jobs, jobs and more jobs. And Americans need jobs.

40:12They do not need any form of welfare dependency. You know what I'm saying? I'll just continue with more.

Have you guys done Terry Gross's Peloton class? No! I've been dying too. I'm so sorry. I'm seeing a reading of Sudako in the Pousin, Thousand Paper Cranes by Auderman Donald at the Wonderland Bookstore, 14. That's crazy.

In February of 2024, celebrated illustrator and children's book author, Patre Matheres, and her husband Michael, nailed letters to dozens of friends and family members to let them know that they had died by suicide. By the time you get the shalliter both, Petra and I will be dead. Next stop, Wonderland. Patre and Michael were by all accounts healthy, happy, and in love. Why did they do it? And what did it do to the people they left behind? I would have given a million reasons to not leave this world had I known. I keep coming back to a truly hope that Patre was a thousand percent on board with the plan. Do you think of him as having killed her? Yes, I do. I hold Michael responsible for my mother's death. I'm Leon Nevock. And I'm Alice Gregory. Together we set out to interview everyone who got one of Patre and Michael's letters.

45:25As one married couple trying to understand another. Listen to death of an artist on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Bill Cunningham, the great American after two o'clock today, Brendan Call will be here. He's the director and producer of Blink. Blink is happening tonight. I'm sorry tomorrow night Thursday Friday Saturday night might rain like hell on Sunday. We'll see about that. But Blink, I've been there twice two million people come downtown. It's wonderful. It's a good thing to do. You may find me at Blinky the Thursday or Friday night. We'll see what happens with that. But until then, Eric Conroy's in the studio running for Congress. And Eric, once again, welcome to the Bill Cunningham show. We've never met before. Bill, first time we've met a couple times over the radio and film. But yeah, first time in person. You look better in person than on your ads. Anyone ever tell you that? I've got those those big chipmunk cheeks on the ads. I really, I don't know how to find it, right? You look good right here. And I know I mentioned Getta and one of my commercials.

46:27I love Getta, which has gotten rave reviews, which I'm very happy to have in there. Tell me your background. Where'd you go to grade school, high school, college, that kind of stuff? Yeah, group on the West Side. Families been on the West Side for multiple generations. In fact, we go so far back on the West Side that Pete Rose was the Bat Boy for my grandfather's softball team. Well, this is a campaign bombshell. There we go. Pete Rose was the Bat Boy for your grandfather's softball team. That's correct. Downed old bolt face on the river there. So it's really ironic when I go and give speeches at a Jim and Jacksville because I'm like, how many how many generations of connoisseurs have come in the Jim and Jacks here and have beers after softball. But that's not far we go back. I grew up way out West. I went to visitation for grade school and then elder for high school. When I was at elder, we had the the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan raging at the time. And my grandfather was in the Navy and I felt the call to serve. So I was lucky enough to get into the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs that I served seven years as an Air Force officer working mostly

47:28in special operations. What was your rank? It was a captain. Captain in the Air Force. Captain. Captain. Captain of a young fellow. I wondered all this happened. Well, this was back in my 20s, Bill. So yeah. But yeah, after that, I was working mostly in intelligence and had had an offer to go transition to the CIA. So I left the Air Force as a captain. Join the CIA and my role there was what's called an operations officer. So it was my job to go overseas and recruit sources for the CIA. And I was able to do that in a few war zones in the Middle East and also Eastern Europe for a few years. So really, I've dedicated my life to service and I view this as that next chapter in a life of service. So really be a great advocate and representative to this region. And I hope that I have the the leadership and perspective to not only do it well, but to be a vast improvement over career politician, great landman. What do you do for a living right now? All this stuff are you retired from the military? Well, I'm not totally retired. I resigned from from both organizations. So this is a full-time job for me right now. These federal races are pretty much 16, 18 hour days.

48:31I've been doing this full-time for quite a while. I did a brief stint in finance right before the race. But we've been doing this full-time for God over almost a year at this point. So about a week ago, I had on your friend Greg Lansman. And he came out. He had a vote in the Congress, which was terribly. And I called it a profile encourage at the time, because at this point, there was a vote put together by Nancy Pelosi and others, the result of which would be support or not support the so-called war in Iran. And we need to have this while I've played before the comments of Barack Hussein Obama. We can never allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon. The comments of Hillary Clinton talking about we must destroy the regime in Iran. The comments of Bill Clinton saying Iran is a problem. And they're going to be I played yesterday the comments of Steven A. Smith, who also was on Bill Mar and he has many lucid moments these days. And talking about why we have got to complete this thing in Iran, because they're so evil, it'd be like the Nazis on the edges of Berlin, allowing Hitler to stay in charge.

49:33We're going to retire. We can't do this. We got to see it to its conclusion. And Greg Lansman sat right there. And on your left, of course. And he said that yes, he did vote to support Donald Trump. But then something happened in Washington about three weeks later, what happened? Well, this is why we can't trust Greg Lansman, right? Even when he does come out, he gets slapped by the Democratic Party leadership and Nancy Pelosi to get in line. And this is why we need to change in Congress, right? And we talked about, we talked a little bit about the Iran war before we came on air. And Iran has been a thorn in our side for for 50 years. If killed Americans over the world, they funded terrorist groups. Your fellow soldiers, my man, have been murdered by Iran, Erickon Roy, and you served, and you were in those theaters, and you saw what Iran did. I have. And I think the president was right to take it on. And I think it was a good time to take it on. Iran had been destabilized a little bit from the Israeli strikes a little earlier.

50:33And I think this is a good time to take it on. And really, you know, I come from the global war on terror generation. All of my classmates at the Air Force Academy went to Iraq and Afghanistan and other places. I don't think anybody wants a 2003 style nation-building ground war endeavor. But the question is, how do we achieve our foreign policy objectives? Otherwise, I think it's through air power, special operations and intelligence. I think what we're seeing in Iran really reflects more, kind of what we did in Serbia, or maybe even Libya as well. And what we do is we go in with specific concessions of what we want, and what we show now through our forces. We can go in any time that we want and stop what they're doing. And that means a nuclear program. And now that we've accomplished that on the more of the kinetic side, now we're struggling them economically through Scott Passett and the Treasury Secretary. So I think this is a great way to wrap this up. When I had Greg Lanzman on, he said, I was a pro-... He didn't like my compliments. A profile encourage was voting in favor of Donald Trump in a Democratic primary.

51:36Would you agree? That's a profile in either stupidity or courage. But once he said, I stand with President Trump, Lanzman said, within three weeks, he said, well, I reconsidered my thoughts on this matter. And so this was going back to March. We're talking to him, I don't know, six, seven months ago. And he said, well, on second thought, I'm against Donald Trump. Well, I think when we're talking about profiles of courage and Greg Lanzman, that's a bit of a dubious claim to make. I mean, this is a guy who was a part of the gang of five scandal downtown as a city councilman. And now, on top of that, he's been caught inside or traded in Congress. Bill, this guy broke the stock act in 2025, which is a federal law was fine for it. And then went back and rewrote three years worth of financial disclosures, covering up dozens of trades worth over a million dollars. He's literally tripled his net worth in less than four years on the hell. I asked him about that. And he said, yes, I did do that in the beginning. But then I'm the sponsor of the Lanzman, whatever, which went nowhere. In fact, a few days ago, the Senate just voted

52:37to allow senators and congressmen to keep trading. So he said, because I traded all those stocks and made all that money, I decided to stop it right then. All right. And he's lying to voters very aggrigously about it, whether it's through his ads or his interviews. He's hoping that voters don't connect the dots. Right. And we're trying to tell that story of what actually happened. He broke the law. It's pretty black on white. It's not my opinion. It's not my campaigns opinion. This is what happened. And we're going to tell that story and people are hearing it. And people are not happy to hear that. All right. Let's talk about gasoline and diesel prices. Congress has some role to play. Not a great one. And this one because let's face it, the market determines what occurs. And I have a chart here that in the, as far as a hundred dollars of barrel or more of oil, but under Obama, there was like 700 and some days under Biden. It was like 400 days above 100. And with Donald Trump, it's 60 days. In other words, the price of oil, if you care about those things most of us do, it costs a living is higher. And as a consequence, what would you do relative to oil and diesel prices if anything?

53:39Eric Conroy. Well, firstly, I get it, right? I'm shoestringing a congressional campaign up and down I-71 every day. So I feel and pay for the gas prices as well. But like you said, gas prices are still lower than they were under the Biden administration. I came in here to the studio today and I saw across the street that we were down almost 350, which is tremendous. But I think if we have pro-growth policies that encourage cheap energy, we're going to get there. And going back to the conflict in Iran and also the operation in Venezuela as well. I think these are great long-term plays to make sure the international energy market is affordable for Americans. So I think there's some things we can do domestically by ensuring cheap energy prices, but also having an efficient foreign policy to ensure worldwide affordability is good. I had the chart right here with your permission. Days, oil above $100 a barrel under Barack Hussein Obama, 724 days. That's more than two years above $100 a barrel. And Donald Trump's first term, the answer was zero.

54:43Then we come to Joe Biden, 210 days, oil was above $100 a barrel. So you take Obama and Biden together. That's 824 days, almost three years above $100 a barrel. And Donald Trump's second term through today, the answer is 59. Yeah, anyone who thinks that the Democratic Party is a solution to economic problems. That's frankly a delusion. All right, I mean, this is a party that brought record high inflation to this country through Joe Biden and Greg Landsman's radical economic policies. And now, as you mentioned, they also do not encourage affordability in the gas markets as well. And really, when I think of economic success, Bill, I think of three kind of key pillars on the Republican side. It's less taxes, less regulation, and cheap energy. It wouldn't keep those three factors and gear as Republicans, which I think we do pretty well. We're going to have a great economy. Well, kind of a novel thought. A facts should adjust one's opinions.

55:44Opinions shouldn't change the facts because if you have an opinion, what matters is the opinion, not the facts. I like to think that facts change in somebody's opinion, but with Democrats, their opinion never changes the facts. They're running on a policy of low energy when their policies have caused low energy. Have you heard Greg Landsman ever talk about his policies to bring low prices at the pop? The answer is, what, when mills and solar panels? Well, I don't think my opponent, Greg Landsman, has any real policy proposals, right? I remember I heard his interview with the brawl downtown that happened last summer, which was actually right outside of my apartment near 4th and Elm Street. And I think it was, it may have been channel five. It was one of the local TV stations. They interviewed him. They go, hey, Congressman Landsman, what would you do downtown to make sure there's less crime at the federal level? You know what his answer was? I'm working with Honda and Kia to make sure that their cars are less stealable. Honda and Kia less stealable cars. That was your

56:44crime. Congressman's answer to a softball crime question downtown. So when we're talking about any novel policy ideas to solve any of the problems we have, he doesn't have it. What's your policy? I mean, as a Congressman, you have some indirect control over what happens on the mean streets of Cincinnati. Talked to those three college co-eds at the crap kicked out of them. And by the way, they bums the derelicts who did that, the mob, the gangsters who did that went into juvenile court for two hours and came out the other side, 2020 Auburn, and they quickly came back out. What would you do different? Yeah, I think there's a couple of things. And as I mentioned, I'm a proud downtown resident myself, and I see the issues every day. And I really want a safe downtown with people feel comfortable walking from Finley market to Great American ballpark at 11 o'clock at night. And until we have that, we have not achieved the basics of what makes a good city work. To me, solving the crime issue as basic as filling your potholes on the street, which you can debate how good the city does. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, but really, we need to get back to the

57:44basics and force all alls on the books and you stop these radical left policies that Greg Lantern has been proposing his whole career, which includes deep funding the police and voting no on DHS, DHS funding. I really think it's time to get back to the basics of law enforcement, making sure they're properly staffed. CPD is still under staff, making sure they have the resources and the training they need and enforcing laws we have on the books. And I also just want to give a quick plug for all of our great judicial candidates here in this area as well. We need to get out and vote for our judicial candidates as well. It's extremely critical for the crime and law enforcement. That's kind of the missing link. Even Scotty Johnson is on city council has a few lucid moments. He's a former cop and he said that the problem we have are liberal judges and even F tab pure of all living in the Republic of F tabestan, even the mayor has said we've got to talk to the judges about locking up career criminals who commit crime with guns. When the Democrats are telling these liberal judges, you know what? Do your job. We got a problem. And I think we need to get back

58:46to reality, right? The Democrats live in a fantasy land of liberal ideas, which doesn't exist in the real world. And I was downtown. This is probably about a month, a month and a half ago. And I was at a restaurant with my laptop with my campaign manager. We're just kind of doing a little planning session over over a beer. And I had the leader of a moderate Democrat group that's downtown focus. Come up to me and say, Eric, we're voting for you. Really? Yeah, we're tired of this nonsense. We're tired of the downtown Democratic leadership. They're not solving any of the issues. And your opponent, Craig Lansman, is a part of that problem. Sure. So I think we are seeing a sea change on that. And I'm confident we're going to see it in the election results. I lastly, in Congress, if you're elected, the polling has even, which I told you off the air, is a great sign for you. According to the Secretary of State, I had on Frank LaRosa a couple days ago. And he said the absentee ballot requests or Democrats are down 20% apples to apples four years ago. And in the midterm, down 20% and the voting of Republicans tend to be about the same, he said,

59:51same number. That's a good sign if you're normal. If you're a Republican, that's kind of a good sign. It is a good sign. And just as a review for your listeners, so Ohio District one, where I'm running was redrawn this year into a predominantly Republican district, about 53% Republican. They added the West side and they added Clinton County. You like that. You like the West side? I'm a fan of the West side. I like that. You like that. So it is a Republican district now. And it's one of the few flippable seats around the country that could determine not only control the House, but whether the Presidents in Peachter or not. So we really need to get all Republican voters out this year. We've got the governor's race on the bat. We've got the senators race on the bat. And we've got my race on the bat as well. This is really, this is really a critical race that could set Ohio up for the next decade. And as I mentioned, we're tied in the polls. We're neck and neck. We have over $10 million of national funding coming in to support us. And that makes it probably one of the most expensive Ohio congressional races in history. So we're going to get this done, but we need everyone to get out and vote this year. Eric Conroy. Thank you very much. We'll see what happens.

1:00:54And you're going to be my congressman. I think I think right now I have Warren Davidson, but I'm not sure. I think the redrawn district has me with you. I think am I correct about that? I sure hope said I mean, I can come on your show more. I'm not sure where to help. I live right there, but I don't know they redraw the law. You should be. I love right there. All right. Well, Eric Conroy, what's your website? Yeah, please go to ericonroy.com or you can go to ericonroy.org on X to find all of our campaign updates in our positions as well. And you can also hear more about my careers in the Air Force and the CIA and also be in a very mediocre football player at elders. Well, did you start it all because I know a dare park is making moves to enter the GCL. They're trying to upgrade the GCL, bringing in an undefeated team. As you know, every team in the GCL has several losses, but dare parks seven and oh, would you support dare park high school joining the GCL? Sure, why not? Bring them in. It would upgrade the upgrade that conference. I'd tell you what? I was at the older St. X game a couple of weeks ago at the pit. Just great at this.

1:01:56The next one, by the way, they did. Yeah, my older, my older boys lost it, but it was and they lost the ball. And they just lose the baller. They did. Now you're rubbing it. I'm just telling you that somehow the GCL is falling rapidly and dare park high school could upgrade the GCL. Bring them in. Let's go. All right. Let's get Eric Conroy, your nice young fellow. Thank you for coming on the show this afternoon. Hey, thanks so much for your time. God bless America. Let's continue with more. Go cutting in the great American live. It's home of the Bengals News Radio 700 W all of you. It is show time. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hi, I'm Scott. I'm broadcasting. I'm for you. Boat. All right, segment. I'm listening and watching this morning about 1245 AM. Yeah. I'm watching college called Troy. Uh-huh. I think they're in Alabama. Not sure. That is correct. Playing Southern Mississippi. The home of the Golden Eagles. They used to be in the same conference as you see.

1:02:58And on the mic about 1 AM this morning was one Rocky Boyman. The Boyman. Yeah. Is the Boyman in about a half an hour ago. He popped his head in. The Boyman has gone directly from the airport here. Montgomery Montgomery, Alabama International Airport to CVG. It took a flight at 6 AM, which means you didn't sleep. Tony Pike style. His arms, arms looked tired though. I guess he had a help, you know, with the plane. So they had to pick up the tail of the plane, move it around a bit. Went with Pete Bond. And so he arrives about 8.39 o'clock AM. Yeah. Shall we say out of sorts? Would you agree? Uh, yeah. Then I think he's got another game. I guess Saturday we'll find out Friday. He's let us find out about an hour. And today was the day where we're going to have the ring off of my dear park championship ring of 2018. Wait, maybe next week. We'll see what he's got to tell him. He said he didn't bring in the in and out was called Superbowl Ring and you. I forgot bringing

1:03:59your 1990 Reds World Series ring with the three together. Let the people decide which of the three look better. Well, we'll do it. Don't worry about it. You're going to do it. But right now you're off the hook because Rocky didn't bring it in either. Or she said he was worried about I'm off the hook for because you said you're bringing in today. Yeah. Well, you got to start reminding me about stuff. Your mind's getting rather loose. Has been for years. Where's the ring right now? Is it a drawer somewhere? Yeah, it's in a drawer. It's in a drawer. Yeah. I said a drawer. Yeah. Let you bring it in. Let me look at it. Okay. Maybe you hear it tomorrow or not? Absolutely. Okay. Well, I'll bring it in. Maybe if I remember. Just bring it in so we can look at it. Okay. It's been what? 36 years? Correct. And you haven't. Yeah. I think this is look as good as my deer park ring. Are you kidding? It's a world series ring. Well, he come on. He says the Superbowl Ring looks like the deer park. Oh, well. Is that true? The Superbowl Ring's probably about as big as his fist. We'll see about that. Won't we? Yeah. Also have a headline in the inquire. Uh-huh. Says the following.

1:05:05Cannabis dispensary plan for former Frisches Big Boy site. That's on that's on American right there. I don't care what you say. Well, it's an union township Clamac County. And the guy is running it. I got his name here. Zach. Zach. Zach. No, Zach Shula. Yada spoke some pot. But when Zach Weprin certified cultivators president said I always love big boys. When I saw the site, I knew I had to put my pot business there. What would Karen Meyer of the big boy fame say about this one? I guarantee you right now every big boy statue that some place somewhere is shedding tears. I tried to buy one. I told you this. Yeah. It was $1,200. And I said to put it right out front. Correct. I said to Penny. I said the greatest of penny. We needed a big boy. Yeah, we needed that in a flying pig got right out. I tried that too with her. She said if you if you put it up,

1:06:06I'm having it taken down. But if you put it up, no, I want to have my house in the front yard. Oh, okay. I see. I wanted the front yard. She said you put it up. I'll take it down. She said, you put it up. Guess what? I'm taking it down. I said, well, I want to either a pig or a Mr. Big boy and those red bridges with that palm with a big boy right there. Well, I loved it. Love that guy. And I can't do it. She prohibits me. I like to have a pig and one side of my front yard. And Mr. Big boy and the other. How strong would that be? That would be strong. And weapon the the president of the dispensary said, yeah, he loves former fast food sites because they have great access for customers would drive through lanes. Now instead of a super big boy fries and a cherry coke and hot fudge. I like three joints to go. Unbelievable. Is that a is that a is that a number one meal and then what's number two? Like two joints and then the number three is one joint joints and more joints. Okay. The license is they come ask extra extra crispy. What's the

1:07:09extra sauce on them? I'm reading the story. That is on American. I'm sorry. Merrill, Merrill wanted retailers moving to Clamont County. Wow. And one of them is suing the township for more or less having extortion. They had to pay like a million dollars to the township trustees to get the deal. What's going on around this place? We've got from Frisch's big boy to pot. I don't know what to do. I don't know. If you put a boat together. The world's coming to an end. I don't know. That's all I need. That's all you need. You're busy. I know you and me. That's all we need. Speak for yourself. Will he be a stooge reporter, some proud service every local temp star heating air conditioning dealers, temp star quality. You could feel a beautiful mill for the home of one main gallery called Baker heating right down a street at five one three eight three one fifty one twenty four. So Mr. Big boys going to pot. So to speak. How about putting a joint in Mr. Big boys mouth? No, that put that out in front. Would that be something?

1:08:12If that happens, that's outrageous. The United States is going to say the American people want pot more than Mr. Big boy. Am I right or wrong about this? Well, they do. I want big boys. They can have the pot. I'll take the big boys. The big boys are going south. Pot is going north. Well, he college basketball tennis balls are going to be replaced by basketballs in a little bit of center quarter to Linda family tennis center. Talk about it. Exhibition doubleheader coming up.

My good friend Chris Wilson experienced you can trust Willie. Let's see. Your mother. The way Michelle Snyder says you can blink this. She likes Mr. Big boy with some pot. Oh, I thought she was going to blink.

Higgins still nursing that up or leg muscle. And Colby Young with a knee injury looks like he's going to sit out. Here we go. The Miami game and then be back in two weeks after the buy. Now the dolphins is zero and four they stink. What's the spread on the game? I don't. I'm going to check your draft. King. I tell you one thing. They better not over under you know, overlook anybody around here. Why? Look what happened the past couple of weeks. Not good. Let's see. Carl Lawson, the former Bengals defensive end is signing with the Indianapolis Colts. Seattle Seahawks have decided not decide veteran running back and former Bengal Joe Mixon. After he underwent a physical. How about this? Cincinnati is favored by eight and a half on draft Kings eight and a half. Ace. That's six. I don't know. That's it. Six and a half. Six and a half. Strike that from the record.

1:10:18Who do you like? Do you know better than an exhibition game? No, no, I'm talking about Cincinnati and Miami. I thought I thought you were talking about the bad. Is there a line on that game? Probably somewhere. Baseball. Let's see. Well, he a division series action today. Four games on the docket. Guardians of White Sox with the Chicago of 2.0 Dodgers and Braves. It's six. LA leads it there to one. Tampa Bay and the Yankees that could end at eight with the race of 2.0. And the Brewers and the Padres at 10 p.m. Padres stayed alive last night. Just barely with the with the win. Just barely. Going back to college basketball right state.

Green Bay is third. Oakland is fourth and NKU. The Norse.

How about about a joint or a piece of hot fudge cake from friscious? Willie, let's see. And soccer last night. The great Lionel Messi played his final match for his country in Argentina with a goal and two assists. Messi 21 years playing for his nation. 126 goals. World Cup champion Olympic gold medal. And he scored 21 World Cup goals in his illustrious goat career. Well, Ronaldo joined Messi in America. Well, he's still going to play for Inter Miami and the FC since in any place and down in Inter Miami in a couple of weeks. And

1:12:21the last one about Ronaldo coming here. I don't know. There's talk. Maybe he's going to come to FC. Is that possible? They need some help. The city better get some of that railroad money to pay him. We're talking about that stuff. It's in the pockets. I have no idea. I talked to Charlie. What weren't they going to fix the streets? Yes. And with the rail road bill. Now that's close to $2 billion sitting there. And instead of getting $25 million bucks a year, they're getting $50 million a year in interest. We'll do something. And they can't spend the money because they're restricted to fixing potholes and bridges and roads. They want to use the money for a bunch of crap and they're restricted from doing so because of Bill Sites. So I'm telling you right now, they don't know what to do because they don't want to fix roads and rivers. Have they ever figured out what they're doing? No. Thank you. About $200 million spent on the streetcar. $200 million. And that goes in a circle and a circle and it's free. That's why a lot of ridership when it's free.

1:13:22No kidding. It'll be packed at blank. Well, two million. I got Brendan calling about 20 minutes. Two million people. Imagine where's everybody going to go. I've been there twice. I imagine if you have the reds and the bangles both playing at the same time, right. Blink has 10 times the total number of pay core and my ballpark, the great American there at blank. Two million. You can't get it to downtown anymore, right? You can't get it. And all the all the highways and bridges and rental states are shut down. And the tennis tournaments a big deal, right? I would say so. 200,000 people. Yeah. 10 times that is going to come to blank. I got to find out what the hell is going on with Blink. It's unbelievable. I'm going to be there one night. I'm not sure. But my buddy Sean Donovan wants to go and I said, let's go. He lives downtown. And last time Blink was here about two, three years ago. Yeah. He's got a plant outside of his place. His brownstone,

1:14:24little plant about two feet tall. It's like flowers in it. And above that, he is like a like a light, you know, a porch light. Yeah. There were women lined up taking pictures of the porch light. And the little plant thinking it was part of Blink. A little porch light. And Sean came out and said, what are you doing? He said, Oh, this flowers are just wonderful. These are mainly women walk around taking pictures of stupid stuff. Look at that porch light. Isn't that something? They said they got into Monards for 1895. And she said her outsponsor are Ryan Blaney. Yeah. Some women said to him, Oh, who created that? And he said Monards, $18.95. She thought it was a creation of some artist. This is the quality of people who go to Blink. I'm thinking you got to be kidding me. I walk around thinking what the hell's Blink? What where is it? Well, it's quite an event. Well, he again, have you been there? No, but why have you not been there? I don't go. I don't

1:15:26go. I don't know. Okay. Jones said he won't go either. Thank you. And he's not endorsed by Republicans. Now that's a joke. I'm just saying who's going to run it? Who's going to beat him in Butler County? Only one body. 89% of the people vote against him. Well, 19% day out of your run out of your office. What you should have done. You'd be in the state legislature right now. Be in the sheriff. No, you'd be state representative. A chicken in every pot would be going to be your motto. No, I feel every pothole and known to mankind. You got the money to do it, but they're not confident. I have to spend them on it. Fix the roads. That would be my, that would be not confident to spend money even. Say, give me out of the studio report after two o'clock today. I'm going to call Brendan Call, the director and the producer of Blink to explain Blink. You think when that artist put your face up there on a wall? They did. Did they and light it all up? And it out to me. Well, the owner of a beautiful day here in the tri-state and uh, college basketball is underway with three o'clock unbelievable. We leave you with the

In February of 2024, celebrated illustrator and children's book author, Patre Matheres and her husband Michael, nailed letters to dozens of friends and family members to let them know that they had died by suicide. By the time you get the shalliter both Petra and I will be dead. Next stop, Wonderland. Patre and Michael were by all accounts healthy, happy, and in love. Why did they do it? And what did it do to the people they left behind? I would have given a million reasons to not leave this world had I known. I keep coming back to a truly hope that Patre was a thousand percent on board with the plan. Do you think of him as having killed her? Yes, I do. I hold my corner responsible for my mother's

I monitor everything. What is blank? According to the website, blank Cincinnati is America's largest public art festival transforming the city into a vibrant immersive experience of light projection mapping, murals and interactive installations, including Covington. Of course, Rob was born. The producer director of the CEO and the vice president, Treasurer and Secretary of Blank is the great Brendan Cole who cut his teeth during the administration of one Charles Jay Lucas.

1:22:43And once again, Brendan Cole, welcome to the Bill Cunningham show and Brendan, how are you? I'm great. I love being with you on on the radio. It's good to be back. Thanks for having me. Explain to the American people. Blank, how big? How many people? When? What's involved? What are the restaurants involved? Will it be safe to attend with all the massive mayhem happening in Cincinnati? Segment says you want attendees scared. I'm not scared. I've been to the last several blanks. I like blinks. Give me a full report. You told me you called me years ago and you were like, what's blink? I don't even know what blink is. Correct. I think we met up at some point and I think you are a believer. I now believe in downtown and you now believe you believe in blink. You come downtown. You see our beautiful city. You're amongst friends and neighbors from all over this region, but really all over the world because people are coming from all over to see this. You know, you're listening audience. I know is falling and is to what goes on in this community as well as anybody. And I promise you most of them know what blink is. But if you walk around downtown and

1:23:49over the Rhine and up to filming market and at the banks and over the roadling into Covington, you will see some of the most beautiful projection art on our buildings. You will see brand new murals more than 90 murals have been added to our community over the last 10 years. We're adding another 20 this year. And then you'll see these lighted art installations, which are these incredible creative pieces that have been crafted together by artists that are living, breathing things that you can touch and engage with. And there's a giant slide in the banks and is fun for kids and it's fun for adults. And it's just a magical experience. And you know, this is the fifth blink. It's happened over the last 10 years. And I believe I don't I'm not saying this with any level of overstatement. I believe it's really transformed the culture of this community in a positive way. Is that we look at our city differently. There are kids who were, you know, 10 years old when they are when they saw the first blink and they are now adults working. And I think for them that this

1:24:49will be an era where where blink helped define the culture in this community. And we're really proud of it. We think it's going to be a spectacle. And we think it's going to be great for our economy and certainly great for our culture. And you know, as far as the scale of this thing, I look at the tennis tournament, the Cincinnati Open run by John Barrett, et cetera. And they advertise the fact there's about 200,000 people over about 10 days that go to the Cincinnati Open to watch tennis, which is fabulous. In fact, in about an hour, there's going to be a tip off at the tennis tournament between you seeing Ohio State outside. Of course, the big game is savior versus Dayton about five-third. That's the big one. But then is the number given by you about two million people? Is that true? Yeah, I mean, it's very hard to, I'll take it. It's really hard to estimate how many people experience an event like blink because we have people who are downtown during the day when people come downtown at night. It's a free public art event. So we don't have tickets. There's really not any part of this that you have to pay to come see. And that's we're proud of that.

1:25:52That's why it's the largest free public art event in the country. And frankly, it's on scale with this organization called Vivid Sydney, which has been around longer than us, which does a very similar art festival in Sydney, Australia. But we know it'll be huge crowds. We know it has an enormous economic impact. I was talking to an owner of a guy who owns a number of bars downtown, all that which you would know. And he said that in some of their places, they'll do double the business that they usually do in a weekend. And again, we're really proud of that part of the reason you do stuff like this in a downtown is because then people will come down and support the small businesses that are down here, hustling and working hard and creating you know, good experiences. Every other weekend, be here too. And the only only sitting American that has this is us. And I look at the great American ballpark named after me, of course. And then you got pay core. If you put those two fill up both stadiums, there'd be a hundred thousand people. Which is great. But you think 20 times that is blank between Covington up through family market, which is distance wise, probably about a mile, a mile and a half. There's 35

1:26:58city blocks involved. How far does blank go into Covington? How far south does it go to you know? It's going to go all the way south into Madison, essentially to where the Madison Theater and Hotel Covington is. There's some great installations down there. The mother of God Church is back this year, which I don't think we did last year. I think we did four years ago. It's spectacular. I went and saw music call all that by Washington Park. There was a preview. They were testing last night. And one of the exhibits sponsored by Duke Energy is a focus on America 250. And they play fanfare for the common man, which everybody knows if you, you know, as soon as you hear it, you know, the notes from fanfare, the common man, which debuted at music call decades ago. It's going to knock everybody's socks off. And then as you go up into Finley Market, there's some great projections and murals. The market will be open. Court Street in front of the Croger building. The Asian adding night markets there. So there's food and booths for people to drink. Covington has transformed itself

1:27:59into a what they call it, like a doora. So you can drink and walk around, which is really cool. Almost the entire footprint of blink in Covington is a doora for this weekend, which will make it great fun. We tell people there will be big crowds, but you know, it's easy to take Metro and tank downtown. There's lots of parking rides. So if you go on our website, you can learn about how to do that. Blink since 90. Who came up with this idea, Brendan Call, because this is completely out of the blue to have this event taking place here every few years. Whose idea was this? There's a there were a group of people about like I said about 10 years ago, the Hale Foundation, which by the way has their offices now in Covington. We're going to an awesome mural in their building. The Hale Foundation really brought together people who were involved in luminosity. And the original groups were Brave Berlin and artworks, which is now called a thousand and one colors. An agar, which has really been a rider, a partner for us. They've been involved in every blink like we have. They brought us in to help produce it because we do things like taste,

1:29:01an October fest, and we know how to do these things. Large scale events really well. And you know, these are these are folks who believe me nobody is in this for the money. This is a free public art event. So it's not like, you know, we sell a bunch of alcohol or something or merchandise at this. It's really something that we do because it transforms the culture and since then people want to live in a place where stuff like this happens. I've been out all month long and everybody tells me they come to Blake say, Oh, and I invited my friends from Cleveland and I invited my friends from Chicago and they're coming in their house or their stay in the hotel. Hotels are doing really well this weekend. So it's, I mean, it is going to be it's going to be beautiful weekend. Tell the American people, Brendan Colle, you're in charge of the chamber of commerce at Runs' event. The drone shows, can you explain that to the American people? Yeah, drone shows have been around for I think this is the fourth blank. On Thursday night, the drone shows, people love the drone shows, but Thursday night they're going to be at TQL Stadium. And there's an event they are kicking off all of Blink called Ready Set Blink. And you can

1:30:03read all about the times on our website, but there'll be two drone shows over TQL Stadium Thursday night. Friday, Saturday, Sunday drone shows will be back down over the river launched two times the night. I think it eight in 10 and so people will people love the drone shows every restaurant is planning all sorts of things. I'll tell anybody we have this great organization since Nadi called Arts Wave. And they help fund the arts. So companies and people give donations to Arts Wave. They have an Arts Wave app, which you can get on any app store. And that has the full map. It also has you know, secret places to go and things like that. So if you're really interested in going deep into Blink, I would download the Arts Wave app as part of part of this years experience. And what is the Asian night market? Asian. What's that? Tons of food. We work with this group called Asian Adi, which has been our partner. They represent and help lift up Asian culture throughout our region, which is really vibrant and

1:31:05diverse and interesting and you know, music and dance and food and great people. And so they have taken over two blocks on court street with a bunch of different food and lights. Asian night markets are a cultural experience in obviously parts of Asia and in the United States. And so there's food and crafts and things to do. And it's just, you know, if you're walking around Blink and you've been looking at art and then you want to stop and have some food and drink court street is a great place to be. And the Cobra building, all 25 stories of it will be lit up and it'll look, it's going to look awesome. Both sides of it with lasers, lasers. We're going to have lasers. Well, the inquire ran the story about this anarchist left-wing group on the race street. They have four months and they were part of Blink and they were kicked out of Blink. Explain that to the American people. Well, so look, I mean, we are really excited for this event. The community

1:32:05event that's part of ReadySept Blink was for local organizations when it became apparent that this was, you know, a national out of state group that's working on a campaign, you know, the herd, Kruger. The herd, Kruger, which I don't like. That's not, it's not really what the part, what the point of the event was. And so, you know, we let them know that and that. Who's paying for all this? I'm looking at tens of millions of dollars of set up display and then breakdown. Who's paying for all this? It's incredible. People come from all over the country to do this. We fly people in from literally all over the world. I think the only continent is anarchist. I don't know if we have an end someone. We do this because of the generosity of primarily three groups. One are the city of Cincinnati, Hamilton County and government in northern Kentucky who have come together to, you know, because they understand the value of this. And I think it's special. Two would be the companies of Cincinnati, Procter and Gamble, Kruger. I mentioned fifth third bank.

1:33:09They not only are, I mean, fifth third, this is a bank that's been around almost 200 years. And they are so innovative and cool, frankly, that they have a group of artists and innovators that have worked with a group called Big Art to design an installation on Fountain Square. And it is fifth third gift to the city. And so fifth third helps sponsor it. A F G Western and Southern Lidel Park, which if your folks have not listening here, have you, if you have them in not a Lidel Park, there's this beautiful hotel that John Barrett built there. We have installed a lighted art installation over the fountain in Lidel Park that will stay there until the spring. And it's beautiful. And so Lidel Park is going to be this quiet respite for people. We did that last time for the first time. And John Barrett and Western Southern really stepped up in a big way to make sure that Lidel Park was back. So, you know, the company's large and small from throughout the region. Duke Energy, I mentioned. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but we're really lucky to have

1:34:11companies in Cincinnati who know that they're people value this. They love Blink. They care about the vibrancy of our city and making this happen. And they don't support it. Well, lastly, this is incredible. You take what you do with the taste. I don't top of that October fest. I don't top of that Blink. I assume two of those three are coming back every year. Is Blink going to be every two years, every four years? How long? Yeah. It's it's definitely not an every year thing. It is such a lift to do. And I mean, I mean, this isn't like we staff up, you know, a few weeks before Blink. I mean, we have a team full of people. My colleague, Leslie Mooney is the executive director of Blink. The team at Aguard, Josh, user and Andrew Salisbury and have been working on this for literally since the last Blink happened and getting ready for this. So it's probably in every other year thing. You know, we had an awesome October fest this year back down on the river. And you know, that belongs at the river. It was it's just to total magic down there. It's such a party. Such a great time. Youthful

1:35:15and it looks the city looks great from down there. Reds have been a great partner. But you know, the plan is for Blink to come back again. And some point because we have yeah, you generosity people people make sure stuff like this happens. But look, here's what's cool about living in Cincinnati. We do big stuff like this. And it is, you know, you've seen articles about the NFL draft. You've seen articles yesterday. There was this article about the MLS next soccer tournament that's 50,000 room nights that the Cincinnati Sports Commission came and got to Cincinnati. People around the world know that Cincinnati is a city that can do big things. You know, this Omega convention that was here, the music festival of concerts. You know, there's a couple pieces of the puzzle that we are still working on here. But you know, we're going to cap for Washington way. Eventually, we're going to build a brand new arena. But this is a city that literally can do it all. And when the when the world wakes up to that and when they see that, that's when you see the growth happen. That's when you see our economy transform. And you know, this is this is this great Midwest city where you can have access to anything. And, uh, you

1:36:17know, that's why you love living here. That's why I love living here. It's terrific. It's a big city, small city. I love the neighborhoods. I love what you're doing. The Reds, the Bangles, FC, just this soccer tournament next year. There's 350 teams coming in each team has about 20 to 25 players, but also 40 adults. And so, uh, I don't know how that's going to work. You need 50,000 hotel nights. How does that work over two weeks? Well, I was told yesterday that literally hotels like up to spring, bro and down in Florence will be booked for this. And that's, you know, that's that's great because they're going to come here and they're going to have a good time and they're going to spend money and they're going to go to stores and they're going to keep small businesses and business and they're going to populate the streets and then tell everybody, hey, since now is a place where there's really cool stuff happening and we got real momentum right now. The Alvelyn said that they're bringing their headquarters to downtown Cincinnati. You're seeing, you know, continued big investment in and around our suburban core manufacturing. And so the city

1:37:21does have momentum. And I think, you know, listen, we work tough critics because we're in it every day. But when you look at the big picture and when you come downtown and see a week, I was at the Elm Street Plaza last night when you called me, there's 3,500 people registered to run in the night run, which has never happened before. It kicked off from Elm Street Plaza, which didn't exist a year ago, the Plaza. And it felt like another part of our home in Cincinnati. And so you got to come down here and see what's going on. It's, and I'll say, I will say one other thing. It's not just downtown, though, you know, all through our community. We've got these little community arts organizations. This is really an era where people have led with, you know, arts and culture and vibrancy. And we should be really proud of that because when you have creatives in your city who realize that they can make a life here and contribute to the city, it does change the way this city feels and operates and is successful. What's Charlie Luke in your mentor be there? He will be. You know, he still lives downtown. I see. He's getting old. He's pretty old. He's getting old.

1:38:24He's not old. Don't I think he's going to get so mad. I think he's no. He's, yeah, I expect to see him down here. I know he is right across from Washington, say, where he is. He's right right near the line of parts of Blake. He will see the activity and walk around. I mean, he's like, no, no, he's lived downtown and has really enjoyed that. He might run. I look forward to the day that you and he sees control and rule for a thousand years. We're coming back. Your cup of blank is over. We're coming back. We're going to be a summit. And we're going to we're going to craft our plan. I don't know if I want to call it a coup, but make sure it's bloodless. We need to plug and get Richard K. Jones and Butler County, get Rob Sanders in Ketten County and do a Pinser movement in the City Hall, sees control in 801 plums to trade and rule for a thousand years. That's what I'm hoping. Hey, I can't get I can't. I'm so grateful to be able to show, but I can't stop without saying

1:39:27listen, I want to just shout out. I was with police chief Adam Haney this week in Captain David Scope field in downtown Cincinnati. Those guys are doing such a great job. I feel like they're everywhere. You'll see them all weekend. There was an article in the inquire. Some some really great progress and nobody will ever take their foot off the gas to make sure this is a safe city and they were doing everything. But you got to put wind in their sales because those men and women in the Cincinnati Police Department are working so hard right now. They've got great support from the folks at the Hall and the numbers this year. So far again, no one's taken any victory laps, but very, very encouraging numbers in the inquire. And I want to make sure that the men and women that since I police and say fire are going to be down here this weekend in force making sure that this is a safe event that they've done a great job this year. Got to run Brendan call. And I'm going to be there. I think Friday night with Sean Donovan, wandering around Court Street looking for some Asian food. I'll be there. I'll I'll I'll give you a shout out to see if you're in the area. I'll come see. I got I got

1:40:30a little I got a mobile. So I'll be able to come visit. I know you're busier than a two to three like a man in a butt kicking contest. But I'll I'll get a hold. Say hi to Charlie. If he's daughtering around with a cane or something. Say hi to Charlie. He's not daughtering around with a cane. He's doing a great job and he's doing nothing. He's more than anybody doing nothing. All right, Brendan. Call you're the best. I look forward to the bloodless coup. That'll be great. Thanks, Willie. God bless America. Let's continue with more Blink Blink and more Blink on News Radio 700 W-L-W. I love everybody. Quiet. I'm so broadcasting. I'm for you, Boanie. Rock today was the day for the display of the rings. Both of you guys have stiffed. You don't want to confront the derpark. Do you have me? I'll bring it in the morning. You don't know what city's in. All right, I'm watching you last night. Yeah, it was about 12.45 AM. Troy,

1:41:30where would hell that is? I thought Alabama that they attacked Athens at some point. I don't know what a Trojan said. Trojan Trojan Trojan Trojan Trojan. Yeah, I've used a couple of those, but that's a different story. So I go for Troy's playing Southern Mississippi and the game took forever about quarter to one. I couldn't about three hours and 45 minutes. I couldn't take it anymore. So take the rock. That's a good game. That's a good game. No, for a while. I mean, the end score was one. I watched it because of you. Well, thank you. But tell me the rock trip from sent, say like the Odyssey from say 2 AM. What the game ends? What time is it? And where are you? Yeah, get back to the hotel at 11 central. So that's midnight Eastern, right? Yeah. Go to bed. Get got up at 345 drove from Troy to Montgomery got on a 6 AM Montgomery to Alabama and took a layover and then it landed a Cincinnati and came here. A little layover. Just a soften you up a little bit. What time did you land at CBG today? 11 30. Then 11 30. You have no like eight hours show prep. I had to get into

1:42:34sure every every I spend two hours every one hour. You probably spend three hours. You're right. Yeah. And so you just drove straight from CBG here. You're not going home yet. Not going home. Not seeing the pebbles. If not seen Mrs. Rock. But they'll be okay. No, I have a question. I have an article right here. Oh god. Here we go. I want to go. I'm real quick. It's involved. Uh, some failure of Notre Dame or South Bend. Not yet. Not yet. Yes. Yes. Or say. Yeah. Two topics. It's one of those two topics. I have anything to say. Next at least not yet. Yes. Now the headline is Madison Beer. Whoever the hell that is is being accused of ruining Justin Herbert's career and sad Eagles fans and yet she is an Instagram explain to me. Personality beer. She is a 12. Okay. A 12 on a scale of 10. Yes. She's over the top. She is 12 out of 10. But she's like an Instagrammer slash influencer. You didn't date her did you? I used to. Yes. That's a different. And so I guess some people are making a claim that maybe

1:43:39Herbert is distracted. The charters are supposed to be. That was like everyone's darling pick and the NFL and they're not playing as good. Zero and four. He's not playing good. Wasn't there a scene during football practice a couple months ago where yeah, they had a blanket, a picnic during a practice after practice. Yeah. Lying off to the side. And she's like putting flowing her fingers through his his luscious locks of hair. And he's like, hey, it'll lie. The Rose. I'm sorry. I did that. I did that. I might play like, you know, every once in a while the wives and children could come out. You could never just have your your is is he married her? I don't know. Allegedly, there are fiancee right now. He gave her a ring that was eight million dollar from from equity diamond brokers eight million dollar engagement that she accepted. She had a way to Genesis diamonds. She wanted to rick and Phillips. She's got a better deal for a better. She's on any lane and my lane. That's different. Sorry. Any other plugs we can get in there. They were canoodling. Victor Phillips. And the other chargers are watching. I love Rick Fairbone. He's the best. The other chargers are looking at this

1:44:44couple. They're leader canoodling each other's eyes acting in a program. Did you do that when Penny went at the end of the year? Twin driving. You got to tell your girlfriend. Hey, I'm saying, I look, man, like, you know, I got an image of hold here. I am being looked at at all times 24, seven. It's probably not a good look if we're sitting on a picnic blanket and you're feeding me bond bonds and rubbing your hands to my hair. Now secondly, it points out other fail. This is a long line of failures. Beginning with Samson and Delilah when those two hooked up, what happened? One good. Now they also bring a Tony Roma and Jessica Simpson. That somehow Jessica Simpson took up with Tony Roma. It was like 20 years ago. There wasn't he was playing at the time. Yes. Then he was defrocked and was playing terribly under. He got drunk. Then they then they mentioned Jordan Hudson. My favorite would go Belice check. Are you going to mention another name that's a little more low quality here. That's having some. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm sorry. Okay. So what happened to Belice check standing in the career when he hooked into Jordan Hudson. I'm so

1:45:49not sure what he sees in her. I don't know what that is. But what happened to Belice check when Jordan Hudson and him not good turned out to be a mess. Now another. So you're making a point about a larger point, which is where there comes the point. It comes to meet rock. It appears also that bangles starting quarterback Joe burrow has not been caught up in some social media slash fashion context, which is messing him up completely. Now they say Joe burrow is a mess. Because of Poutine. So you put them all together and I'm thinking, you know what? There's one constant downfall of mankind tends to be a woman. Poutine. And so I'm asking in this story, there's other examples in the anomaly. The one out of the which proves the point is the opposite which is a certain tied in so to speak, not Tate from the Kansas City Chiefs. And they point out that seemingly the Tate relationship might have worked or might not have worked, but it appears

1:46:53to be working, but they're waiting for the divorce to happen between. So make an example that that Kelsey has the exception to the rule that has not been ruined by the 12th by Poutine. And that basically means the rule is valid. And here's Justin. Here's a nice picture of Justin Herbert with what's their Madison? Madison beer. Madison beer. Let me take a closer look at that. He's from the Adam family. Take a take a look at that. For show purposes. Look at that. Look at her. That's Madison Budweiser. Good Lord. Look at her. And Jesus Christ. I don't know about Jesus in this thing. But isn't true that Joe burrow seemingly did complete two drives at the end. He was thinking about a little bit of poo tangy after the game. I'm just asking, is that the problem we have here at this article and L.A. says yes. That he says Joe burrow is a mess. We saw this issue like two years ago. We said, look for his career and for the Bengals and everybody, he was best for him in his life. If he just got a

1:47:55nice girl from Seaton, maybe Merce McCauley and Marrieder and they had a family and that was it. Thick thighs. We're not the one podcast. No. And we're on a part of TikTok videos. Not on Paris fashion shows. Where blouses. No, we don't want that. Do we? No. Should have went with somebody from TV locally like Andrew Abbott did about that. But how did you but now how would you feel if Joe burrow moved in on Tonya Rourke? Give me some sports. Well, he the studio reporter's a proud service every local temp star. He didn't get air conditioning dealers. How would Joe feel? Yeah. Yeah. Just this Joe in his honor. D quality you could feel. I'm just saying Hill. Here's the story right there. Do you see the story? I do Madison beer is actually from a real website this time, which is remarkable for you. Go ahead, say Western Hills called Durban Heating Coolly at five one three five nine eight eighty four forty nine or go to Durban Heating a cooling dot com Joe burrow's a mess because of Poo Tang. Let's see. Well, yeah, thank you. Let's see

1:49:03the care source invitations about rated a tip off right now three one in about 15 minutes of the Linder family tennis center on center court Ohio State and you see is that correct? Three o'clock and an X V Dayton at five thirty. That'll be big rock basketball and tennis court. And ten is correct. My play maybe I saw it at a pay course. I'm like that. It'd be nice. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do that. I should probably play down at the reds. And I did send you a text when you were gone about St. X and Trinity. We had a bet on that game and then also deer park playing at Marymont as the homecoming visiting team. You know how that goes normally. And by the way, I think say that's all range four and two. It was the last time a one four games. I'm glad you pointed that out when I was in junior high. Here is. Trinity has like eight guys on the vision one scholarship. Thank you five from the S one to the S. Excuse excuses. Excuse me. I think they've won like five thousand games in the row. I mean, yeah, at any sport they have down there. San

1:50:04X loses 42 zip. Deer park wins 15 zip. Now the differential is between deer park and San X are ridiculous as far as points scored. You knew it was coming. Make the comparison. And it's just a state. You know what I was going to say. You should have stayed now a pammer rock. And here's the NFL that you the expert picked. Yeah. And you had the bangles. He's losing game one. He's been waiting for four three days for this. Now say who won the the rocket that right or wrong which one the first game he said they lost the Tampa Bay Tampa Bay they won. I know but he said they look right. The second game against Houston. What is the what is the bangles. You know what I'm going to go through a day by day. What is the bangles overall record. Let me go through day by day. And what did I have them through four games? See what you hit you had them two and two. So there we go. That was the bad. It all four wrong. Picking game by game. We're picking the record. Yeah. No four games wrong. You say you lost. And they're at two and two.

1:51:08Don't look at me. Like I said, he'd been waiting for three days to lay this on it. You can dish it out but here it is. You're zero and four. Saga's one and three and I'm two and two. Right there. You want to come and have them being four know at this point. They are two and two. I have them being two and two. They are two and two. You know what I'm saying? That's a creative accounting right there. That's very creative but it's wrong. Because you picked the bangles. The overall record. You got them 12 and five. I still feel 14 years. Are they going to win half their games? So they can only lose one more game for you to want. I'm not talking about my hot five son. I'm not talking about him January. What is the question? Right now. The question is you're o and four and I'm two and two and you're one and three. That's the question. Give me some sports. Please don't give me started on this. I got the record right here. Two and two including Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Tony Romo and Bill Bellicic.

1:52:09If it's turned out well. Bangles update brought to you by Midwestern loving it like good friend Chris Wilson on time on budget complete satisfaction. Jamar Chase still in concussion protocol. T Higgins nursing that upper leg muscle injury. What does that mean Rocky? You've got an abductor problem and it's wrong. Massaged out. Don't go to the same person that massage the Sean Watson one to them. I think he was in guidance. Yeah. He didn't blame you. That's all it matters. By the way, if someone told you the middle of October that the bangles will be in last place in the browns in first place, would you believe that? No. No. See, Seattle Seahawks aren't going to sign a veteran running back and form her bangle Joe Mixon after he underwent a physical defensive end Carl Lawson has been signed to practice squad but to the Indianapolis Colts. What about T Higgins? Back home. I just said it. He's not he's still there. He's going to grow. I don't know. It's day to day. Got to he got to stretch his grind out a little bit. So where are the chances that Jamar Chase and T Higgins are either of them play against the Lolli dolphins? I say chase place and Higgins out.

1:53:11I say the opposite. Even with a biweek come the next week two weeks and then you're going to go to the bottom while you got that's a good point. But you got to win this game. You got to because there are six and a half point favorite. All the dolphins all hell is going to break loose for two weeks. Then Lance will know what to do. Joe's got to break up. Lance will go to the hospital. It's got to give her the saying that for weeks. Not a good influencer. Nor is Madison Bear much of an influencer. What about you Shavas he has more problems with Gia. Is your name good? I've seen her picture of Bruneche. A former girlfriend of Will Love Us. They have a tape together. Is it a revealing tape? Can I see it? I got to know it. You got to go in the EG. What's the guy's name? Gia Vasi the split end of what's his name? Gia Vasi. Now that's a woman. Is he hurt? Yes. He's hurt too. He knows she's lost. Yes. No she's lost. She's online going after everyone's kind of playing out. You just can't do that. You can't do that. Leave the women alone. Leave them alone. I told Penny when I was playing quarterback for St. Xavier grade school. Yes. Leave that cheerleader outfit at

1:54:16home until the season is over. You could not bear to just take a gaze during a time out during a water break. You look over again. I'll leave twin driving tonight popcorn coke. Thinking about baseball and water fingers. Let's have it basketball. All the sports. I have the evidence. Here's the evidence rock. Leave the ladies alone until the season is over. That could that that article could have been you back in the 50s. St. Xavier grade school. Yeah. Great school. 62 to use. Imagine that. Well, whatever. Close enough. How did you fight through it? The temptation. Yeah. Yeah. Tell us about your your experience. Yeah. Big shot. You want to give if you want to give experience. You know, what you want to give advice to Bella. Josh and him. And Gio and what's her name over there? What's her name? Madison beer. Yeah. Everybody knows her. Yeah. She looks like something from the Adams family. But what is your experience back then? I would say three words. No, boy. Leave Poo Tang alone.

1:55:17She brought ready to hit the button. That's like Benjamin Crump. He's too late for the bunch of things. I'm watching Benjamin Crump the other day. There's no one else knew their word. I can't he said there's three words. No water in the lungs. Those three words is what's important. I'm going. No water in the lungs. Three words. I said he can't count either. He's a literate and he can't count. And he's a lawyer's crime. What his crime was. Associating friends who were white. That was his crime. What case are we talking about here? Nolan Wells, the teenager and Mississippi that drowned the accident. I'm drowning. He commented on the Cornell 7 a few times. Yes. I don't know what to say. Now, I'll say one thing. K Austin debauchery everywhere. Ivy League school Cornell all liberal socialist Democrats, Hader of Israel and all liberals. They say 25% of the women there have been sexually assaulted. Now, two things. One, if 25% of women are raped, the Cornell I'm not one out of every four. That's what they said.

1:56:22The co-ed two who said the women's group of Cornell said 25. I said, well, 25% have been raped. I'm not sending my daughter there. Yeah. Of on the other hand, how about does that cost? If they're alive, why would they even say that? Because I ain't sent my daughter there. Would you send your son there? And if it's untrue, if it's a lie, would you send your son there? Yes. What? No, I wouldn't. I want nothing to do with that local institution. No, no. Because it's not true. It's a lie. Don't you need it. But if it's true and men are falsely claimed of committing rape, that's, would you send your son there? Pretty serious. Yeah. Their lives are over. Irrespective of the facts. See, facts should not adjust opinions, but opinions should adjust facts or vice versa. You know what I'm saying? If you have an opinion, does that change a fact? I hope not, but should facts change opinions? I would hope so. In the real fact. Yeah. I have an opinion, but should that, I have an opinion,

1:57:23the earth is flat as you do. Some people just see things solely through the the eyes of emotion. It has to make me feel not the facts, not what actually happens. It's a fact. It's a fact. It's made me feel. The facts don't matter. What are my emotions? The facts don't matter. My opinion is what matters. That's what matters. I want something on your big show today. See right out of the gate with Sydney Franklin on the subway tunnel thing they're doing downtown possibly. We got a security expert on celebrity break-ins. We got you at five celebrity break-ins. Yeah. Break it in. Well, because like these stars, they're all in social media and stuff all the time. So people know where they're where they are when they're home, when they're not home, and they're breaking their house. I'm not telling anybody. I'm not telling nobody I'm not going to blink on Friday night. But the three wants to break in your house. I bet that that that that that that that that that that that that you are I'm tied right now. I'd give her a map. I just want to get in. That's it. Here's my code. Come on in. Break in. Shari. Anyway, is that? I can't say any more about that.

1:58:25If you're mine. I can't say anything more about that issue. No kid. Probably going to get sued. I think about what is the overall result of what what have we accomplished today in this conversation? What are we supposed to take away from this? I'll give you I'll give you a stay away from beautiful women. I'll give you five words. Nothing. Blank is the root of all evil. I'm just saying it's important. It brought down presidents and empires and quarterbacks. And we got one right here in Cincinnati. According to this Los Angeles story, Joe Borough is a mess because of his influencer. What's your name? Bootang. That's not on me. Say give me out of the suits report. Please. Well, you know, there are a beautiful day here in a tri-state and hot weather.
