1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.200
The President, Secretary of State of
course military type. Also Dolan's running out

2
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:08.480
of Cleveland. Also Bernie Marino's running
and Franklin Rose is joining us now on

3
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.039
Franklin Rose. First of all,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.

4
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:16.519
And where does this kunt of weather
this afternoon find the Ohio Secretary of State

5
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.399
or you're out there on the roads
claring things up? What are you doing

6
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:24.760
on this snowy Friday afternoon? Well, you know what, on the snowy

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.800
Friday afternoon, I'm in the snowiest
part of Ohio. I'm up in Lake

8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:34.439
County in the snow belt to speak
to the Republican Club up here. Now.

9
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.479
You know, in Cincinnati you get
a couple of inches, they may

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.600
cancel something like that. But Lake
County you get six to eight inches.

11
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.600
They're still having it. So I'm
on my way there right now. Many

12
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.079
things happening in politics. I had
you on several weeks ago about Secretary of

13
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.920
State matters before we talk about the
election itself, and that is that it

14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:58.880
appears the Democrats have decided not to
let Democrats vote in primaries. New Hampshire

15
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.840
is on Tuesday and the Democratic Party, the DNC in Washington has canceled the

16
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.799
primary in New Hampshire for Democrats so
that Democrats can't vote, and the running

17
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.200
on a campaign of saving democracy,
and the way to save democracy is to

18
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.439
have Democrats not voting primaries and to
indict the leadership of the opposition party and

19
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.599
sue them about five hundred times.
And so I want to get your reaction

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.200
to the Democrats determining on the state
primary ballots not to have primaries so that

21
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.319
Democrats can vote for Biden, so
he's not embarrassed your reaction. I tell

22
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.760
you what. One of my I
guess the most entertaining things is the knucklehead

23
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.400
liberals in their hypocrisy. And this
is just a great example of it.

24
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.040
So these same folks that don't want
to let people vote in a primary because

25
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.519
it might hurt their guy Biden,
they want to complain when I have the

26
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.480
temerity to remove dead people from the
voter role, when we check IDs in

27
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.079
Ohio, when we actually verify signatures, when we expect that you you know,

28
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.840
actually they change your voter registration address
when you move things like that.

29
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.239
Listen, We're proud of the way
we run elections in Ohio, but here's

30
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.240
another example of them not really being
as pro democracy as they say they are.

31
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.639
They are intentionally targeting Donald Trump because
they're afraid of him. They're afraid

32
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.719
that he's the guy that can beat
Joe Biden put this country back on track,

33
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.520
and they're trying to keep him off
the ballot. I just joined with

34
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.520
a group of other Republican Secretary's of
State in an amicust brief in front of

35
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:29.840
the US Supreme Court to say,
guess what the voters should decide who their

36
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.240
nominated for presidents going to be?
Not some dredged up amendment from the Civil

37
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.560
War reconstruction era that was meant to
keep Confederate officers out of Congress. This

38
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:43.599
is absolutely ridiculous, Franklin Rose.
When you think about it, Democrats went

39
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.960
dead. People to vote, but
not Democrats, and they run on a

40
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.639
platform of we're saving democracy by having
our Democrats not voting. By the way,

41
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:57.479
is there a Democratic presidential primary in
Ohio in March, Well, there

42
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.360
will be. I don't know how
much of a contest it'll be, but

43
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.560
we always present that opportunity. And
so you're gonna allow are you gonna allow

44
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.520
Joe Biden actually be on the ballot
in Ohio. Are you gonna allow that?

45
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.680
You know, they turned in the
right number of petition signatures, and

46
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.319
so yeah, it's funny. We
believe in following the law and that's exactly

47
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.319
what we do. And listen,
we make it easy to vote and hard

48
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.919
to cheat in Ohio and that's something
we could be proud of. Secondly,

49
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.840
i'm watching this morning. I think
it was Fox News that might have been

50
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.080
one of the other ones, And
there's this story out of Colorado in which

51
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:37.360
a four time deported Alleo alien from
Cuba was Over the last two and a

52
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.039
half years, he's been in the
court system, page after page, and

53
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:46.439
they keep releasing him. A liberal
state court judge and in Boulder, Colorado,

54
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.400
on the third dui that he had
let him go with a little bit

55
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.199
of treatment, which didn't obviously work. He'd been deported after that, came

56
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.479
back again to Colorado, and about
a week ago he's driving one one hundred

57
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.960
miles an hour, dead drunk in
a car that kills a mother and her

58
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:10.400
young son. And now the bond
is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

59
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.080
Now the citizens of Boulder, Colorado
are all angry about this. Judge who

60
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.480
let him go on the third DUI
and the fourth deportation, and he's back

61
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.839
again. I believe you spent some
time on the southern border, and it's

62
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.279
the number one issue in the country. Forty five percent of Americans say the

63
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:31.279
Southern border is exactly the problem,
number one, because of money, because

64
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:36.040
of crime, because of overrunning the
schools, overrunning the emergency rooms. I

65
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.600
had a family member go to a
Bethesda North about a week ago. She

66
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.839
was sixty third in line in an
er and a good hospital Bethesda North.

67
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.879
There's a hospital in Denver, Colorado
that is shutting down because they're two hundred

68
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:56.560
million dollars underwater because thousands of illegal
aliens use the services for nothing, so

69
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.120
those who pay the bills can't be
treated. Can you talk about if you

70
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.040
become the next US Senator and thank
God take the place of Shared Brown,

71
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:09.560
that you will vote to change that
policy completely. Well, you're right.

72
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.560
I did serve on the US Mexican
border. I volunteered to be part of

73
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.560
a counter narcotics task force as a
soldier with one hundred and first Airborne Division.

74
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.480
What we saw was a real mess
twenty years ago, twenty plus years

75
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.120
ago, it's gotten even worse now. We were finding people with bags of

76
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.040
cocaine shoved into the diapers of infants. They thought we wouldn't look there,

77
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.319
But today it's fentanyl, and two
hundred people a day in this country are

78
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.680
dying a fennyl. I've got a
pretty clear solution to this. First of

79
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.839
all, we need to close the
border. That means building the wall from

80
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.079
the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific
Ocean. But a wall's not enough.

81
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.839
Walls are effective, but you got
to have men and women with guns that

82
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.519
guard those walls. Because to be
clear, if you build a thirty foot

83
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.279
wall, people can buy thirty five
foot ladders, So you got to guard

84
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.480
it. But you also got to
take away the incentive. Taking away the

85
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.680
incentive means no amnesty for those that
come here illegally. If your first act

86
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.720
in this country is breaking our laws, you should never be eligible for citizenship,

87
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.959
your offspring should not be eligible for
birthright citizenship, and you should never

88
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.959
be eligible for government benefits. And
I believe this Biden surge that has come

89
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:13.600
needs to be deported and sent right
back. I watched TSA. You may

90
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.079
not know it, but if you're
an I legal alien picked up with the

91
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.600
southern border so called quote migrant quote
unquote, and they want to disperse you

92
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.079
all over the country. The Catholic
charities are elsewhere, these so called non

93
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.120
governmental entities NGOs. What they do, of course, there's no ID,

94
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.680
so they go to the front of
the TSA line. The photo to be

95
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:38.199
taken is optional, doesn't have to
occur. They go through the line,

96
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.800
they jump the line, they get
free airplane tickets somewhere in the country.

97
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.560
They put in their palms a two
hundred and fifty dollars debit card where you

98
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.800
can buy stuff for two hundred and
fifty dollars. They also give you an

99
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:56.199
ID from the US government to say
who you are. The photo is completely

100
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.879
optional, and then they transport you
to some city and you go. In

101
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.240
which case, people don't live in
a state of suspending animation. They do

102
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:09.240
certain things. And so is it
fair that when Tony Bender gets on a

103
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.399
plane, he's got to submit a
urine sample and go through a practological exam.

104
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.160
But if you're illegal, go to
the front of line. You're not

105
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.600
padded down. You don't know where
you came from, what diseases you have,

106
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.040
get you on the plane. Here's
your Obama phone. Here's two hundred

107
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.120
and fifty dollars, Debra card,
it's all yours. Here's the airfare.

108
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.120
Don't have to comply even getting a
photo. How stupid is that? You

109
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.120
know, a few years ago it
could have been dismissed as just incompetence or

110
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:42.680
or you know, bureaucratic, you
know, inability to do their jobs.

111
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.120
Today it's it's intentional. This is
a dereliction of duty by this administration to

112
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.720
not secure our border, to not
end the invasion that's occurring here. You

113
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.480
mentioned being sent to these American cities. I was on Army reserve duty this

114
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.319
summer in Denver, Colorado, checked
into my hotel, flipped on the TV,

115
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.399
and I saw the Denver on TV
complaining that the governor of Texas was

116
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.959
sending bus loads of illegals to his
city. Well, listen, Mayor,

117
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.720
you declared your city a sanctuary city. Again that hypocrisy on the left,

118
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.879
But now you don't want to bear
the consequences of calling yourself a sanctuary city.

119
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.800
This invasion has to end. The
Biden administration Secretary of Marcus should be

120
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.240
impeached over this. It's absolutely incompetence
Franklerosa on the issue of March first.

121
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.639
Last couple of days, it appears
that our champion and the Speaker of the

122
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.159
House, Johnson, has struck a
deal with the Democrats, a so called

123
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.440
a CR continuing resolution that continues to
March First, to kick the can down

124
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.159
the road again for the next what
six or seven weeks, and the spending

125
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.840
continues, The difficulties in the southern
border continue. The Republicans, who we

126
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.159
sent out as our heroes to solve
these difficulties, collapsed once again. I've

127
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.240
had more than one Republican tell me, we keep voting for Republicans and we

128
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:03.000
get Democratic light policies. You were
a US Senator and this transpired, would

129
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.720
you have signed on to a CR
to maintain the status quo, keep borrowing

130
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.200
trillions of dollars, keep the southern
border wide open, to try to work

131
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.360
on a resolution over the next six
weeks, But would you shut it all

132
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.600
down until we had a resolution itself? Shut it down until we have a

133
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.000
resolution. Let me be clear,
we don't relish the idea of shutting down

134
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.200
the government. That's not a good
thing. But when it comes to protecting

135
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.720
protecting the security of this country,
ending this runaway spending spree that the bind

136
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.799
administration has been on, ending this
invasion that's occurring in our border, we

137
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.960
have to be willing to take the
tough steps. This is why in this

138
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.440
race for US Senate, for example, it's not good enough to send somebody

139
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.080
to DC who says they're a conservative. Every candidate and Republican primary is going

140
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.200
to say that I'm the one that's
proven it. I'm the one that's stepped

141
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.120
up time and again improven my conservative
credentials. I run into battle, not

142
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.440
away from it. And we have
to hold the Democrats feet to the fire

143
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.519
if we're going to get them to
actually secure the border, and if we're

144
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.440
going to get them to end this
runaway spending, and that means a shutdown,

145
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:03.960
if it's not avoidable, then that's
exactly what we have to do.

146
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.519
And Franklerose, there are two other
candidates, Bernie Marino and State Senator Matt

147
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:15.080
Dolan. Why should someone vote for
you and not for Marino or Dolan?

148
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.399
Yeah, two reasons. One,
this whole mission is to beat shared Brown

149
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.360
in November. He's been misrepresenting us
for too long, and this is the

150
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.320
seat we have to win to take
back the Senate majority. Put Republicans in

151
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.000
charge in the US Senate again,
get rid of Chuck Schumer. And you

152
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.399
know, if we're going to do
that, shouldn't we nominate somebody that's actually

153
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.039
proven they can win statewide elections.
I've done it multiple times and with record

154
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.200
numbers of votes. But even more
important than who can win, who's going

155
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.279
to go to DC and fight for
our values. I'm the battle tested,

156
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:50.320
proven conservative when it comes to securing
the border, returning this economy to prosperity,

157
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.840
restoring parents' rights. Listen more than
and I are raised in three school

158
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.159
aged children. We don't want to
co parent with the government. I don't

159
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.679
think you do either. No,
we want to raise our children with our

160
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.879
values. We need somebody with a
conservative backbone who's going to go to DC

161
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.000
and actually fight and actually do the
things we say we're going to do on

162
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.720
the camp pay Trill, I'm the
only one that's proven it. Lastly,

163
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.080
Frank LeRose, I would say this
that conservatives go to Washington all the time

164
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.000
and they become liberal. I can't
imagine a liberal going to Washington and become

165
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.159
a conservative and somehow there's something in
the water of the air that you go

166
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.600
to the cocktail parties, eat some
Swedish meatballs, Suddenly the eyes roll back

167
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.200
on your head and you become liberal. Do you promise, if a luck

168
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.720
that you will keep your rock rib
Republican conservative principles and not collapse under the

169
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.120
weight of Chuck Schumer. Not only
promise, I've got a much more important

170
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.679
incentive at home, missus LeRose would
kick my butt if I turned in with

171
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.039
liberal and tell these people do they
show up in DCA. They want to

172
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.639
be accepted on the cocktail circuit.
They want to be popular with the lobbyists

173
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:52.399
and the think tanks and all of
that. That's the problem with sending another

174
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.360
elitist to Washington, d C.
Listen, I'm an army sergeant that lives

175
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.200
in an eighteen hundred square foot house
raising three children. I live the way

176
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.159
Ohiolands live, and I know that
we're fighting for the soul of this nation

177
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.279
and we're fighting to save this country. And so it's not about being popular.

178
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.519
It's about putting America back on track
and making sure we're not the first

179
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.559
generation in history to preside over the
decline of this country. Oh, it's

180
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.720
wonderful the democrats't run on a platform
of democracies on the ballot. Then they

181
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.519
bar Joe Biden from running in New
Hampshire because you might not do well.

182
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.759
The way to practice democracy is to
practice democracy. But you can't run on

183
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.360
a campaign of democracy and then bar
the ability of Democrats to vote for someone

184
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.320
like someone like the congressman from Minnesota
who wants to be on the ballot and

185
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.960
who wants to run. That guy's
Dean Phillips, and Dean Phillips wants to

186
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.759
have a race in New Hampshire and
they won't let them. And they've said

187
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:45.559
if you have a primary in New
Hampshire, we're not going to see the

188
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.600
delegates. And the national media doesn't
cover it because it doesn't fit their dye

189
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.960
tribe. But Frank Lerosa, good
luck to you there in Lake County.

190
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.320
Come back to the southern half Ohio
with things are much more stable. Thank

191
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.279
you, Willie Doug You soon,
God bless America. Let's contin you with

192
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.000
more frank LeRose later on. We're
gonna have on Bernie Marino and State Senator

193
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.480
Matt Dolan the primaries the middle of
March. We'll see what occurs. This

194
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.639
is the path to a tiny cottage
Yeah, this angry queen is out to

195
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.759
get me. So I hang out
with my seven friends seven trains in one

196
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.399

of small, and what did you all

198

really well, everyone but Grumpy.
But I could have sworn I heard him

199
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.960
snickering a couple of times. Eddie
