And supposedly is going to be voting on Wednesday. We'll see what happens there.
But first of all, Representative Bill Sites is with us now from the
Columbus area. He's up there now as the House Majority leader, making sure
that everything is done right in the state of Ohio. And Bill Sites,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Two or three issues. Bill.
First of all, this is your last year in the State House. You've
had a twenty to thirty year distinguished career, and you decided to go out
and smell the roses and take some time off and actually become a lawyer again
and do what you're going to do. When you reflect on the past twenty
or thirty years in the State House, what two or three things come up
in your mind as being great accomplishments of Bill Sites. Well, I'll put
this in a very important context. When I started in two thousand and one,
the state of Ohio had nine different income tax brackets and the maximum rate
was north of seven percent. Over my twenty three years General Assembly, House
and Senate, we have whittled away and whittled away. So now as a
result of what we just voted on last year, we are down to only
two fracets and the maximum rate is three point five percent. That's I'm pretty
proud of that because we have the lowest match TAC income tax rate of any
state in the Midwest except Indiana. They're a little lower than us. And
now as I prepare to leave do the term limits, some of my colleagues
are proposing further reductions that will take us to a zero percent income tact in
twenty twenty eight or twenty thirty. I won't be there, sort of like
you know, Moses didn't get to see the Promised Land either, right,
But I won't be there. But I'm very proud of that. It has
made Ohio more competitive, and we've done it responsibly. We've done it responsibly.
We still have a triple A rated bond rating. We still have a
three billion dollar rainy day surplus, so we have gone in an incremental way,
and I'm very proud of the way we went about it. Number two
tourt reform. Ohio was a judicial hellhole, and in the first four years
I was there, we passed twenty four different tourt reform bills. A statue
to repose shortened statutal limitations put non economic damage taps on these cases and a
host of others, and the Ohio Supreme Court has upheld that, whereas,
as you may know, they struck down previous attempts at tort reform before my
time. So I'm very proud of that because I was a leader in that
field, and frankly, on criminal justice issues, I've introduced some bills that
have stiffened penalties and other bills that have more responsibly relaxed penalties or recognized the
need for rehabilitation and services to truly rehabilitated criminals. So I've played it on
both sides of the street. But I'm very proud of my record there too.
Let's deal with number one, which is the income tax. I've seen
liberal opinions that this is a fiscal insanity by Bill Sitz and others in Columbus
to take the income tax and Ohio to zero. Where does the money come
from? So answer the question that Tony Bender and other liberals might have and
said, it's already. It's already down to three point five percent for rich
people like him, and it's graduated so you don't pay it on the first
dollar you paid. If you well over six figures. The income. Yeah,
yeah, it's three and a half percent on only on the increment over
one hundred thousand dollars. Everything under one hundred thousand dollars is only two point
seventy five percent at present. Now, where do you get the money from?
Because, as I understand it, give give the American people a rough
number when you came in in two thousand and one, what was the total
state spending at that point? And what is total state spending today in twenty
twenty four, and then answer the question where does the money coming? So
how much money was the state spending in two thousand and one about I don't
have that number off the top of my head, but my belief is it
was right around sixty billion dollars all funds, and that includes the Medicaid funds
that we get largely from the federal government. Now that number is closer than
ninety billion dollars, again all funds, and a lot of that money is
Medicaid money that the federal government gives us sixty percent of every Medicaid dollar and
we have to pony up forty percent, and that money is used to provide
care to old people in nursing homes and poor people in clinics. So the
spending has increased, but our TEXTA seats have increased. Sales tax receipts lately
have been quite robust. In part that's because the US Supreme Court now allows
states like Ohio to tax Internet purchases whereas before they couldn't. That has brought
in big new revenue. And of course all the federal spending in the pandemic
brought in a lot of sales tax receipts. We have additional good sources revenue.
For ten years, we have been trying to force the Ohio government,
the governor, to drill for gas in our state park through fracking, which
is underground. It does not affect the park at all. It is way
underground, a mile deep. But the estimates are that we could get a
one point eight billion just out of the gas reserves in the sulf Fork Park
over there in eastern Ohio. So the proponents of this further reduction and income
tax are looking at a combination of sales tax increases, increased drilling, and
then finally they're looking at increased economic activity as tax rates go down. They're
hoping that people will move back from Florida and Tennessee and the places to which
they have skidaddled. But as I say, I won't be there for this,
but I look, we have done it responsibly. We have not just
cut it all at once. I don't think you can cut it all at
once. Great. To be fair to Tony Bender and others, there is
something to be said for having a tax system that is a three legged stool
that is built in part on income tax, in part on property tax,
and in part on sales tax. Because you don't want to put all your
eggs in one basket. Right. But being said, or Dilligan and the
Republicans have been a guest that ever since. So you know, that's been
the main targets of our tax cutting furmore. Although, yeah, we also
eliminated the death tax in Ohio, proud of that. We eliminated the corporate
income tax in Ohio, proud of that. We eliminated the personal property tax
and the inventory tax, proud of that. So we have been cutting taxes
in Ohio, and we are very competitive with other Midwestern states who do not
have beaches and eighty five degree weather for nine months a year. So we're
doing pretty well. Bill Sides, I would say there's been a fifty percent
increase in state spending in the last twenty three twenty four years. And if
you would have those three legs of the same stool, my vote would be
to maybe keep a one percent state income tax above one hundred thousand dollars.
That would provide some money. But obviously Ohio compared to what Ohio has done
the relative to California, Illinois, New York, all the taxes that have
been elimited, it is truly unbelievable. And you may not think it's a
big deal, but when large corporate America comes and looks at a state,
one of the main things they look at is the cost of locating there to
their employees. And when you have a state there's little or no income tax,
you have no death tax, and you have no corporate income tax.
That causes more companies like Intel to say, you know what, we're going
to all the water that we have in the flat land that we have in
the receptive government. That's why Ohio is moving forward. But secondly, before
we go on to the next issue, which is the death penalty and the
nitrogen gas, when you look at the chaos happening in a major American cities
in Ohio, especially Cincinnati. And I spoke last night in Warren County,
and I love Warren County. You would love Warren County. And because of
the people there and the and the little or no taxes, the way government
works, you would love living in Lovin in Ohio. And I was there
and it's functional. Can you give us a general sense of what's happening in
our major cities when it comes to law enforcement and spending and riots and mobs
and looting, and lawmakers cannot stop that. But give me your sense for
many still in many major cities in Ohio and across the country, there are
they are short staff of police officers. Yes, Cincinnati is short staff,
somewhere between one hundred and three hundred police officers just right here. You combine
that with the defund the police movement that came about after the George Floyd incident
a few years ago, and then you combine that with a healthy dose of
people that believe that we don't need to enforce these laws very strictly. We
can. We can be nice and have restorative justice and be kind and be
generous, and maybe these folks will restore them to good order on their own.
Some will, many won't, and that's a real problem. And I
know our good prosecutor here, Missy Powers, is very much on top of
this, and the voters in Hamilton County have put in some judges that are
pretty pretty much on the liberal side of things, and that is part of
the problem. I'd worked downtown, Bill, as you know, and I'm
currently kind of laid up with a born achilles tendon in my left leg and
a microfracture of my femur in my right legs. I'd be a right target
for these mobs coming up and down Fifth Street and Sixth Street because our office
is on Fifth Street. People are nervous, But we need to build those
police forces back up to their appropriate strength, and we need to respect and
honor the police because a lot of people don't want to be in the police
pirates anymore because they're afraid of getting pinched for doing something wrong. So therefore
they just sit in their cruiser and wait to be called. They're not being
proactive, and I frankly find it hard not I don't blame them, because
every time they are proactive and they do something that somebody's going to jump up
and down and say, well, that's police brutality. So I get it.
But these are all contributing factors, in my opinion, to the in
particular the juvenile crime wave that we seem to be seeing right now. And
we'd like to flap our jaws and talk about it, but it's not going
to change these judges that come out the juvenile court judge that we have several
in common police court came out of a system of college and law school in
which they're now in their thirties, forties and fifties, and they want to
implement what they've been told is happening. And so whether it's a rape case
that doesn't that gets a book report, or it's a murder case thirty years
ago that Judge Wendy Cross wanted to reopen and spend four days in a post
conviction relief hearing to look back in time to see who killed Nathan wrote to
Nathan and whether or not that was the right thing. Twenty four judges looked
at it, Democrats and Republicans and said it is. You can't change that
mindset. And I watched the other fifty large American cities collapse, and we're
the one that has a Republican prosecutor that's a conservative, and that's Missy Powers.
The other forty nine have gone completely south. And I've given up the
idea of convincing left wing Marxist liberal judge progressive judges that they're wrong, because
they're not going to say we're wrong. They're going to say you and I
are wrong. But we watch what's happening, and if somehow the message could
be sent from Columbus which won't be heard, that progressives and that restorative justice
and white supremacy and white privilege and all the other kind of crap is not
the way things ought to be in this in this country, good luck with
that, because they're not going to change. We have a juvenile court judge
completely out of control. And when you talk to cops, they tell me
the same thing cops used to report to duty and it didn't have a nine
one one call. They pick up a handful Warrens and say, well,
in District three, let's try to find ten of these ten of these individuals
that let's go hunting for them. None of that happens anymore, and you're
not going to chase anybody. In fact, in Cincinnati, they don't pull
people over for traffic offenses because of what they might find, and that begins
the collapse of American society that we're seeing on the streets of Cincinnati today.
Well, well, you know, Bell, you're a higher percent right.
You're particularly right to fault the law schools because they are just bastions of liberalism.
And that's absolutely true. But let me just point this out, just
like they can't give pickets for traffic, just like they're not serving warrants.
If you think, as some people apparently do, that the solution to chronic
absenteeism in our schools is to hire more truancy officers and more school resource officers.
A that's pretty damned expensive, and be the cops have plenty more to
do than that. That would be low on missy powers list of priorities.
Bring parents in on a failure to send you your kid to school case it
would be expensive and she doesn't have the time or resources to do it.
So you know, that's why you've got to be looking for other solutions.
You've got to be looking for ways that we can instill personal responsibility while I'm
still incentivizing good behavior. I'll say that now I wanted to talk briefly about
the death penalty because I believe in the death penalty for the worst of the
worst, and I've passed numerous pieces of legislation that actually take the death penalty
away from folks who are seriously mentally ill at the time they committed the crime.
And I worked with Justice Eve Stratton, Republicans Supreme Court justice who was
known as the Velvet Hammer, to get that done. But I still believe
in the death penalty for the worst of the worst. My colleagues have introduced
a new bill that would introduce the concept of nitrogen gas to gather them to
death. Well, I'm not opposed to that necessarily, but being a lawyer
of forty eight years, I can tell you that until the US Supreme Court
says that this is an acceptable method of execution, right, we probably shouldn't
do it, because the Left and the liberals will just appeal and appeal and
appeal and say that, well, this nitrogen gas hasn't been tested. It's
cruel, it's unusual. You know, they'll bring every appeal known demand and
that would simply further delay the administration of the death penalty. So what I
think we should do is go back to something that the Supreme Court of the
United States has already said is constitutionally permissible, and that is the the fire
squad. Sparky and sparky, right right, right, So, and you
know, the guy down in Alabama apparently spent twenty two minutes dying of nitrogen
gas, but if it was a firing squad, it would be you know,
five seconds. Yeah, So you know, I just I think my
colleagues need to need to consider at least a backstop to their proposal, because
the problem in recent years has been the pharmaceutical companies will not sell the drugs
that we used to use to intubate death penalty prisoners and kill them. The
pharmacy companies won't do it anymore. So what is the wine done. He's
commuted and extended their sentence and extended their sentence, which is not fair of
the victims. Frankly, so I applaud my colleague for wanting to get this
issue back on the table. I don't think they're necessarily going about it in
the best way because all the new method is going to do is prompt a
new round of ACLU appeals based on the concept that this is somehow cruel and
unusual. Yeah, well, Bill Sides, you have a few months remaining
in your term. Your term limited out. You're going to go into the
vineyards and start making the Grapes't be drinking the wine anymore in the big House.
But I want to thank you as a citizen because when I talk to
those in Columbus of both parties, you've been known as the conscience of the
General Assembly because you know where the bodies are buried. You're bright, you
understand. Because of you, people pay less taxes because of you. Cops
have more powers because of you. Runaway jurys can't do what they want to
do. Because of you, Ohio has been a more livable place and no
one has done more and better work the past twenty five years. And Bill
Sites and the Senate and in the House, I want to thank you for
your service. Maybe we'll do an exit interview later this year. But keep
doing what you're doing for about another ten months and then go into the vineyards
and make the grapes. We'll do. Thank you, my friends, and
have a great weekend to you and all your listeners. Thank you, God
bless America. Let's continue with more that state Representative Bill Sitz, and he
rattled off the things that have happened in the past twenty three years. Imagine
of California, New York, Illinois was run like that. But the big
issue is to fund more cops and get them on the streets. The issue
CPD needs another one to two hundred. The county Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey needs more
corrections officers to pay more money. In the City of Portland, they're paying
their new cops one hundred and ten thousand dollars a year and the job is
worth that and more. So let's continue with more if a line becomes available.
Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand.
Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WLW. I always wanted to learn Spanish,
but I never thought i'd have the time. Then I discovered bappel mar
Cincinnati, and he's got one hell of an investment. We need more.
You know, in life economically, there's large waves and there's small ripples.
And if you're talking about John Barrett, talk about the Joseph Automotive family,
you talk about the lenders, you're talking about the big tsunamis. Big waves
do big things. But then the American society operates because of all the small
ripples, people like you and I that live our lives well, keep a
low profile, spend money, educate kids, meet a woman, meet a
guy, get married, have a family, and move on. And also
the single folks out there, men and women who would never think about committing
a vicious crime, who simply take care of their own business. Play a
little pickleball, a little golf, little tennis, a little paddle ball,
walk, play little cards, whatever it might be. So if you think
an American economy like an ocean, every now and then there's a tsunami,
a large crashing wave that does big things. John Barrett putting that tennis tournament
and keeping it the Cincinnati Open in Mason, Ohio is a big wave because
that's every year, fourteen All Star games in a row every night. It's
literally millions and millions of people spending hundreds of millions of dollars, and it's
a beautiful thing. But then when a person you in Green Township go to
a Walmart or a Target or a Kroger, you're also participating greatly in the
American economy. So the ocean is filled with lots of high waves. And
small waves and small little ripples, all of which go together to make up
the United States of America. And so what's happened the last few days,
And we've spent a lot of time talking about it, hoping that Cincinnati does
not become Detroit, and at this point it isn't, but in five or
ten years it could. It could happen because there were big, large companies
in all these other American cities who simply dissipated and left. So our goal
is to shine a light on those doing evil things in the city of Cincinnati,
so it changes the course of what they intend. This fall and next
year and the year after that. You will go to the polls and vote
for judges and prosecutors, and you will determine whether or not Cincinnati continues to
be the shining city on the Hill or becomes Detroit, or downtown Chicago or
Portland. Every American city has taken large hits. Columbus is another one,
or Dayton. Denny from Dayton tells me that downtown Dayton has become a wasteland
because of crime and high costs. When we have people like Bill Sites in
charge of the legislature, he run over the numbers with you about how the
taxes under his administration have come down every year and the sales tax or other
taxes have gone up. The worst kind of tax to have is a property
tax, which someone cannot control spending to adjust their own property taxes. One
could not shop somewhere and not pay a sales tax. But if you simply
exist in Hamilton County or Green County or Butler County and your taxes have gone
up twenty to fifty percent, that's a problem because you can't elect not to
participate. You can't elect to leave and become homeless. You can't elect generally
to go live with family and friends. You want to keep your house.
There ought to be something that above retirement AHA sixty five or seventy, that
your taxes for real estate purposes are cut in half or put off to the
side until the property is sold, and then the state collects its portion.
That way, the cash flow of a senior citizen a retired teacher is used
not in paying taxes without getting additional benefits, but are used for everyday living
expenses, all of which, by the way, will enhance the American economy.
So this idea would say that if you're over sixty five or seventy and
don't have a great income and few assets, that you could stay in your
home, pay half of the tax, put the other half off to the
side, and when the property is sold down the road and you don't need
it anymore, that the tax is collected at that point, and that way
older folks can folks can stay in their home and enjoy the vicissitudes of life.
I spent yesterday, the last night in Warren County and Lebanon at the
Armstrong Convention Center, so to speak. It's a little it's not quite a
convention center, it's a meeting room. And I spoke to some great War
County residents and I made the remark that Cincinnati has a little bit of a
population growth up to about three hundred and five thousand when it used to be
five hundred and five thousand, lost about forty percent of population, and that
more and more of us are moving to Warren County, Boone County, Kenton
County, and Butler County because, let's face it, lower cost less,
fear of crime. There was a point three or four years ago in Kenton
County when there was not one murder in Kenton County the entire year. And
John Barrett makes a very great point that compared to other cities, Cincinnati is
doing great. What other small city in America have the Reds Bengals FC,
professional tennis and all the arts that we have in Cincinnati. Music Hall,
the orchestra, the symphony, and the dancing, the ballet. It's all
here. And the reason that the arts are here in such strong measure is
because of the great State Senator Stanley Aronoff, who passed away yesterday at the
age of ninety one. I did not know him well, but I saw
him at many events, always dressed in a dapper fashion. His life enriched
those throughout the tri State, as the life of Bill Sitz has enriched all
of us by imposing shall I say, conservative principles and getting the state income
tax down to a very low number. And it's going to go even lower
because there's ways of collecting that tax without in burdening many Americans. And so
yes, we're at a precipice that when you have judges like Judge Bloom and
Juvenile Court who believes in restorative justice, doesn't want to hold criminals accountable for
rape and murder and a bunch of other kicking people in the teeth in downtown
Cincinnati. That's a big problem, but it is solvable. It is solvable
if you've become literate as far as what these judges are doing to our community
and act accordingly, then we can turn the corner and do other good and
great things. It begins at the out at box to have informed citizens.
And I ran into yesterday a good candidate for the Clerk of Courts in Warren
County named Scott and Mail, m A. L. E. Scott Mail
wants to be the Clerk courts in Warren County and he spent like more than
thirty years in law enforcement. And I'm always feel great about someone who wants
to protect tax dollars, support law enforcement, provide accessibility in accounting accountability,
and Scott Mail and Warren County will do that as the Clerk of courts.
So I run into these people and I'm thinking, well, you know,
there's all kinds of things great happening in the Tri State. Of the two
point two million persons who live in the Tri State, three hundred thousand live
in the city of Cincinnati. That means one point nine million of two point
two do not live in the city of Cincinnati, but because the media is
located here, it disproportionally reports on business in the city of Cincinnati. So
I'm optimistic. You have to be Why be pessimistic? How does that of
anything? You got to be optimistic in life and look forward and say you
know tomorrow is going to be a better and a brighter day, otherwise you
get depressed and unhappy. What happened with these kids running amok was completely preventable
if you take the approach of they committed serious crime, they committed adult crime,
give them adult time, and the message is sent to the small number,
small percentage of scalaw waggs running around committing crime in the city of Cincinnati
and making life almost unbearable. And so these problems are completely solvable. Secondly,
coming up after one o'clock today, I have Leland Vittert of News Nation
Leland Vittert and watching this show the last few nights of News Nation, and
there's a large protest happening in Ireland, England, France, Germany, Holland
and Spain that the farmers, the cultural and elites are coming after farming in
Europe as if people can get along without eating. The climate elites are the
worst. These are the ones who throw Kansas soup at Mona Lisa to try
to destroy it. And so in Ireland, the Ireland authorities have ordered Ireland
farmers to kill two hundred thousand cows and to kill pigs and sheep and chickens
and all the rest because of the environmental damage created by these farm animals.
Damn it. That's how we eat, That's how we live. Nothing better
than a double cheeseburger, we catch a onion and pickle from Wendy's. I
love the fries at McDonald's. Nothing better than a three way, or Thanata's
pizza. It's all good stuff. But to live the life we want to
live, we got to eat. But the skinny dungey green wearing elites don't
want that to happen. So what's happening in Europe, which is not well
publicized, is that thousands of farmers have taken their tractors and gone to the
major cities, whether it's Paris or Dublin, or whether it's Bond in Germany
or in Spain. And what they're doing is encircling government buildings and spraying farming
excrement all over the streets, and they're also filling up the streets with dirt
dumping. Eight thousand farmers have converged in and around Paris to protest the rules
and regulations about farming today. That they can't use tractors unless they're electric,
that the fertilizer is killing the land, that you have farm animals that produce
methane through flatulence, and they want that to stop. And so the French
government, reacting to those fellow travelers, are enacting these terrible rules and regulations
about farming. Imagine America without trucks and farmers. Everything we own and use
is brought to us by truck, and everything we eat is produced by a
farmer. And Leyland Viddert last night made the point that what happens in Europe
today will come to America tomorrow. So the video is unbelievable of Paris being
shut down by about four thousand tractors and circling interchanges, interstates and also governmental
buildings and telling the Parisians that we can't live like this. You eat and
you drink because of what we do, and it's getting too expensive and the
inflation is killing them. To order a farm or to kill his animals is
an intifada to them. They can't do it. And farmers don't get three
day weekends, farmers don't get holidays. Cows got to be milked every day,
Chickens have to be fed. It's a twenty four to seven job.
It's tough, and more and more are leaving, causing the prices to rise
precipitously, and that is what's coming to the Night States of America. There
are thousands and thousands of farmers in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, hundreds of
thousands in Michigan, Georgia, North and South Carolina, in California that are
going to join this protest at some point saying we can't take it anymore,
we can't make money, that the elites are putting them out of business.
And it's pursuing a goal that's already been reached, which is good climate policy.
Clean air and clean water is what we have right now. And we
have no idea whether last year was the hottest year on record. That's a
bunch of bovine' skatology. We didn't keep records till about one hundred and fifty
years ago, and I would anticipate one hundred and fifty years ago, nobody
kept accurate records. They didn't exist, so we don't know. And those
taking the measurements tend to take them in cities as opposed to the countryside.
And those who take the numbers have a reason to lie and to enhance them
because they want to to find out put of more club cmate alarmism. Climate
alarmism is everywhere, right and so I want you to listen after one o'clock
to what's occurring right now in Europe with the protests. There's no process like
this in India or in China or Russia, because in two or three of
those countries you'd be shot or thrown off the land. Anyway, people don't
own land. What they do is they get a license to a farm that
can be yanked by the government at any moments notice. But without farming.
Especially with an extra one hundred million persons living in America who are not Americans
coming in the next ten or twenty years, we need more and more farming.
We need more cows and pigs and sheep, We need more land.
We need all that, and we don't have it because we have a radicalism
loose in Washington right now, and a radicalism on the bench in Hamilton County
that is bringing about things they seek to avoid. So stay tuned for that
after one o'clock today. But the video is really unbelievable of hard working,
scrabbled farmers who can't farm anymore because the government rules and regulations that make it
impossible. So so many are quitting right now that the cost of goods are
going way up. The less you have, the more we have in Europe
and in America, more demand and less supply. When you have more demand
and less supply, prices go up. So it's harder and harder. When
I talk to farmers like Bobby Henderson, Bobby Henderson's a farmer, he tells
me it's more and more difficult to farm, and it's more difficult because the
governmental rules and regulations from Washington and Columbus. So that's going to be the
big fight of the next ten or twelve years, whether we will have a
country based upon reasoned based upon facts and based upon science, or based upon
political ideology. We do not have a climate crisis. We do not the
hottest days we ever had in this country. We're in the nineteen thirties,
not now to say last year was the hottest year ever is ridiculous. Records
weren't kept until one hundred and fifty years ago, and one hundred and fifty
years ago, no accurate records were ever kept. They're making it up to
justify a defined conclusion, and hopefully wouldn't allow that to take place. But
I will stay here and fight like a warrior poet for the city that I
love and the place that I live, and it's where I keep all my
yesterday's and tomorrow's is right here in the tri State. This is where I
want to live. And I will fight like a warrior poet and make public
the wrong acts of judges and hopefully that'll change their opinion. I think the
outcry calls Juvenile Court to keep two of those juveniles who were wilding in the
streets of Cincinnati because the public outcry, And if there wasn't a public outcry,
she would have released everybody. We need different judges than Carrie Bloom,
who's a left wing ideologue who puts a rapist back on the streets on condition
that he write a report that is utterly ridiculous. So let's continue with more.
If a line becomes available five one, three, seven, four,
nine, seven thousand and about ten twelve minutes or so, we're going to
have h Leland Viddert about what's happening in Europe, what the farmers are doing.
I can't imagine the Olympics coming off this summer in Paris without something major
occurring, because it's a hotbed of radicalism right now. Whether it's what's happening
in Gaza, what's happening in Israel, what's happening with the farmers, what's
happening just a general disgust with government in general and the way people are forced
to live. Weve got to be able to get a double cheeseburger from Wendy,
so we catch a bunion and pickle. We have to eat. The
elites don't want you to eat. They want you to pay higher prices,
which gives more control to government and less control you have over your own life.
Oh, let's continue. Reds Baseball kicks off, believe it or not,
in about three weeks right here at your home of the Reds and Karen
Kraft News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati, Saturday nineties. So it's showtime.

Paul to come in and talk about what's going to happen on Wednesday with the
bill, the Illegal Alien Bill, which according to media accounts which may be
accurate or not, that the Republicans Mitch McConnell may a streamline five thousand per
day coming into this country illegally before certain powers kick in. But one person
is covering these issues and so much more for a long time, as Leland
vidtert of News Nation on every night Eastern time at seven o'clock and Leland Vedert,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Leland I want to go
off base a little bit here because I watch you most Monday through Friday at
seven o'clock on News nation. You've been covering a story about the farmers in
Europe. We have explain, explain that place not American farmers. We appreciate
the loyalty bill. These are farmers in Europe and it is a class warfare
between the climate elites in Europe, which are a lot more active and successful
relatively speaking, in the climate elites in the United States have been They are
the model for green energy restrictions on farmers, admissions restrictions, pollution restrictions.
In Ireland, the government wanted to kill two hundred thousand cows to meet climate
goals. And the farmers across Europe are revolting. They have pumped manure into
government buildings and around government buildings. They have laid dirt down on highways.
They've driven their tractors and combines to surround government buildings. Quote from a fellow
where we talked to over who's covering this, and this is from an Irish
farmer. The whole farming community right across Europe are being decimated by politicians in
the green agenda, which is demonizing farmers as criminals in food production. And
you know this, the ideas and the restrictions on personal liberty that starting Europe,
come to America. What six months later, twelve months later, It's
just it's a continuation. And there's now a trending hashtag on Twitter and Europe,
no farmers, no food, right. This sort of goes to the
very basics of a society. And farmers aren't one to normally complained, but
they and their hearty bunch were grateful for them. I know a lot of
your listeners are farmers, but at some point, when you can't make any
money and you're working as hard as they do, they get irritated. And
that's what's happening. As far as what's happening in Europe, it's not well
covered here in America. I'm glad you're doing it because farmers get up every
day. There's no holidays, there's no three day weekends, there's no time
off. It's twenty four to seven. And without farming, without farmers,
we don't eat. And the climate elites in Europe want to throw Kansas soup
on the Mona Lisa as an indication of their green agenda. And if you
don't have farming, we have a serious problem. And can you go over
the two or three things that European governments are forcing the farmers to do that
make no sense. Doesn't improve the climate, doesn't improve the environment. What
are the two or three things if you're in Ireland, if you're in England
killed two hundred thousand cows because of methane because of the flatulence. And German
farmers in France are more radical. And I don't know if the Olympics this
summer are going to come off. I look at the climate elits and what
they do to the Mona Lisa. I can only imagine what they're going to
do to the US Olympic, to the Olympic teams in Paris. But what
are the two or three things that the farmers find so objectionable they're willing to
leave their farms, leave their animals and spread manure all over Paris. Explain
the two or three things? Well, I think you said the first one
is the killing of their animals, right, And that's not just an idea
in Ireland that has been proposed by the European Union in various countries for them
for those countries to meet the climate quote unquote goals or requirements they're put on.
There's severe restrictions on the type of the type of ways that farmers can
farm in the environmental regulations they have to go through. That means they have
to change the way they farm. That makes it not only unprofitable, it
means they lose money. And third of all, there's the taxes and dot
dot dot. The restrictions on diesel fuel, which obviously is a huge input,
means people have to buy new farming equipment and have to if you have
to use your old farming equipment, it costs a lot more. So in
each of the countries, there are slightly different UH issues at play. I
think what you can kind of get caught pretty, you know, deep in
the weeds of you know, what what size engine can attract or have in
this country, and on and on and on. The larger issue I think
is the class the class war issue, right of of this sort of climate
elite of folks who believe in climate orthodoxy and saving the planet from admissions of
any type, and that by limiting admissions from cows you can somehow cool the
planet off. They believe this, and they believe that the UH ends justify
the means, right, so and they're you know, they don't really care.
They're gonna fly their private jets anyway, so they have no problem enforcing
these restrictions on on farmers and then making the rest of just pay the prices
for it. And as far as inflation in Europe, we have an inflation
problem here, but it's nothing like Europe because there's only a few thousand farmers
in France who feed about one hundred and twenty five million people. And if
you say to a farmer, you got to kill your chickens, kill your
cows, kill your lamb, kill your pigs, and then we're going to
have confiscatory prices on diesel fuel, electric tractors don't exist. And then say
also the fertilizers being used has to all change that the elites out of these
colleges and universities or have these theories. When theories meet reality, normally reality
wins. Is there a sense Leland Vidder of News Nation. Is there a
sense that the politicians are going to back off, especially in Ireland where they're
telling the farmers to kill their to kill their farm animals because of flatulence.
Is there a sense the elites are listening? Or will prices continue to rise
in Europe going right down the tubes because they can't eat well, they've backed
off in France. So far, there's been no cow killing in Ireland yet,
but the farmers are still quite angry. I read you that quote earlier
from one farmer who we've been following in this, Michael Murphy, who's a
former UK Telegraph reporter who's been going around the countries of Europe reporting on this
issue and the spread from Portugal all the way through the Netherlands of this movement.
Emanuel McCrone, the president of France, according to Michael's reporting, has
backed off a very little bit. He wants to quell the quote. Peasants
revolt is what McCrone has called it. And and this is quoting Michael.
Meanwhile, mister McCrone was in coat tails dining with Swedish royals in Stockholm.
It doesn't get more late than that. Do you see this coming to America?
Can you see there are farmers in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa.
Believe it or not, there's a huge farming community in California. In
fact, California produces most of our produce. Uh right, And you said
they said, was it's gonna happen here? Three Trade agreements is another one
of their big complaints. And where I'm from in northern far northern Michigan,
the Cherry Capital of the of of America. The airport there is named Cherry
Capital Airport, home of the National Cherry Festival up there in Traversity, Michigan.
There's a lot of farmers now who it's not worth it for them to
farm. They're they're letting their trees go because of cheap imports from Turkey.
So that people are angry. And I think, you know, you're going
to see this spread quickly, and I think it's going to be fascinating to
watch. There's a lot of there's a lot of farming in Georgia. There's
a lot of farming in Pennsylvania. There's a lot of farming in North Carolina.
Right, There's a lot of farming in Ohio. There's a lot of
farming in Wisconsin. You want to talk about cows, go to Wisconsin.
And I will ask you, as the great American, what do all those
states have in common that might be important in November electoral votes? Elector votes
and when people can't get a double cheese burger from Wendy's, my favorite fast
food restaurant, in some Chile and California is a great example. California is
going down the tubes. A large percentage of our produce comes out of California.
And if California farmers do what in Sacramento, what's happening in Paris six
months or a year from now, then all hell's going to break loose.
And I don't think it'll happen to after the election goes. If the Democrats
win and take the House, the Senate and the president's here or continue with
it in November, and the policies are going to be implemented here and cracked
down. I mean right now, Democrats are unhappy that we're producing more oil
right now than Saudi Arabia or Russia. They don't like that. They think
that Biden has not really kept his promise on the environment. You can imagine
what's happening in Madison, Wisconsin, and Columbus, Ohio, what's happening in
Harris, Pennsylvania, or Sacramento, California. Florida has a huge, huge
farming factor is Georgia. You can't feed three hundred and forty million Americans with
climate elites work in the fields. And if in fact, the US Census
Bureau is corrected in about twenty five years. In the year twenty fifty,
twenty fifty, we're going to have at least one hundred million more persons living
in America, that many of whom are not citizens, and they have to
eat, and they have to drink water, they have to use the environment.
We need more farming, not less. We need more open land,
not less. We need more more individuals in manufacturing and in transportation, not
less. And I watched the other day you had on or maybe it was
Chris Cromo, the leader of the Teamsters, talking about maybe we're not going
to endorse someone this year because they can't stand the fact that the current Democratic
Party is so left wing. They've lost their way, and so it isn't
Maybe some of the environmentmental rules and regulations of the EPA, etc. Are
going to be held after the election and then be imposed because they're not they're
not backing down now. Secondly, you have seen, as I have,
what happened in New York City, NYPD beating the crap out of those two
in uniform cops. You spent time in New York. I spent five years
there with my TV show, and from that I engendered great respect for NYPD
under Giuliani and Bloomberg the best, the finest to watch two NYPD cops getting
kicked in the head by illegal immigrants, then having one of them flipped the
bird. They're supposedly on buses to go back to Mexico. There was no
bond set whatsoever. Yet you had that the marine named Penny, who saved
the lives of fellow subway riders, who was locked up and given a big
bond, And that's been an issue. So on Wednesday, when this bill
is announced, all hell's about to break loose. How can you cover this
incident in such a way to be objective, but you have to have particular
feelings for cops that have treat their heads like soccer balls. What's your thought
on that. I looked at the video of the illegal immigrant who been let
out on bail or let out with no bail after beating up the New York
cops as the picture worth a thousand words, and in that it encapsulated everything
that's happened over the past five years. Now, you can like what's happened,
or you could not like west's happened. Eighty percent of Americans they were
on the wrong track. I would suggest that that's one of the reasons.
Defund the police, no bail, sorrows, funded prosecutors who won't prosecute,
sanctuary cities, Defund the police, open borders, free asylum for anybody who
comes through. You could probably blue cities into decline. You could probably add
a few more things that that picture captures. And again, I'm a journalist,
you're a commentator. I ask questions, not make statements. Eighty percent
of Americans think the country's on the wrong track. Find there's twenty percent of
Americas that look at that picture and go, hey, that's what we want.
So there you go. That's kind of the In Europe they're called the
climate elites. Here they're called progressives. And I can only imagine when a
progressive can eat, that progress may become a conservative because everybody wants to eat.
And I can't imagine the country staying on this course over the next several
years getting better results. And I don't know what's going to happen with all
the attacks and what's happening right now with the American military going after the hooties
and terrorist groups in I rock all hell's break and loose have you lived in
a more tumultuous time in which people are at each other's throats, And that
there's a sense that Trump should not be elected because of his peccadillos and the
warfare. There's a sense that Democrats have controlled of the blue cities and blue
states is not going to change anytime soon. Leland vit or go to thirty
thousand feet. And when you report on what's happening, don't you sense that
America is almost in the Civil War footing, which I would find disgusting.
I don't want anything like that to happen again. But why the angst that
we feel is fundamental despite good numbers about the employment, despite good numbers on
inflation might be three or four percent, to spite good numbers unemployment rate.
Isn't there a sense that the average American Democratic Republicans say that we're in trouble?
Well, as Abraham Lincoln said and is often quoted, don't believe everything
you read on the internet. And I would argue it a little differently.
And I think you're right to point out that how divided America is, but
I would almost say that that is a function of how good everything is in
America and how good everything has been for the past forty years since the Berlin
Wall felt thanks to Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush and a
strong America with meaningful foreign policy. And since then life's been pretty good.
We face no existential threat. To nine to eleven was certainly terrible. The
financial crisis was bad, but price really really good here. That's why so
many people want to come here, the millions who come across. You know,
we're trying to break into other countries. And I would say, I
think every I think the people who are so angry on Twitter and have such
a vitriol, I don't think they have any idea how to even come close
to having a civil war, because that we would involve for most of them
actually having to have courage of their convictions and follow through on that. I
know, you say, oh well January sixth, and than the writers you
can say, oh well, what about the BLM riots. But by and
large you're talking about a very very small number of Americans, the vast majority
of Americans. And then I talked to it. I think that we broadcast
toy They want cheap gas, they want their kids to learn in school,
they want a better life for their kids when they grow up. They want
to be able to retire and have their savings worth something. They want to
be able to drive down the street without being carjacked. It's pretty basic desires,
and I think that that intel we're able to fulfill those. You're going
to have a lot of people who are very angry. But I think I
think that the Civil War rhetoric, at least, you know, quoting Abraham
Lincoln, maybe a little far off. All right, Well, you know,
everyone's life individually might be good, but everyone other's life is probably bad.
And so that's the point that somehow our lives are good. But I
if you can't watch the media and come away thinking, boy, we're in
good shape in this country. Everything's good. Oh, don't believe it,
you Bill, Bill, don't believe everything you see on TV. I do.
I do. I believe everything that I see. No, I don't.
But the fact of the matter is that these are the best of times
and the worst of times. It depends how you look at things. But
Leland Vitter, thanks for coming on again. We'll keep the lines of communication
open. I'll be watching and every night Monday through Friday on News Nation at

Kind of like what they did in Sarasota when they played the Pirates every other
day, and you know, yeah in Bradenton and then in Sarasota at then
tired old ed Smith Stadium, which is now a palace for the Baltimore Orioles.
What did it just improve ed Smith Stadium? The Reds are putting up
all the money, it said Sarasota County, said Knababana. I guess obviously
they did, because the Reds are in ARIZONI now, you've been to Arizona
many times? Have you? I don't think so. You know, I
went once with uh D wall Tools because the Matt Kansas was out there and
I was the host with the most I gave a million dollars to a guy
Willie from Delaware, Ohio on the start finish line in Phoenix Raceway. He
drilled five screws into a piece of board, piece of wood. What are
you talking about? Under five seconds? He won a million dollars in a
twenty foot trophy. Say that again? This is for dwall tools. Don't
lie? You know last man? Do you have a million dollars to give
him? No dwall tools? Down? He drilled? Who I'm not?
Will you think I'm made of money like you? What's funny? Willis?
Who drilled? Who? He five screws the fastest guy, five screws into
a piece of wood. Why for dwall tools? They're drills a guy four
point seven seconds and he got a million dollars, million dollars in a twenty
foot trophy. Five screws correct. A million dollars for four point seven seconds?
Not too bad? Well, you gave him a million. I had
to check in my hand and I said, sir, congratulations. Impossible.
It's less than a second a drill, correct, Benny Willis wasn't that quick?
I guess not. Let's see four weeks. So tomorrow Willie the Reds

track here. Don't make a mistake. Good luck to Cincinnati native and Walden
Hills grad Jackson Neff. He grew up in Cincinnati, attended Ohio State.
He's going to go for the Olympic Marria on trials tomorrow in Orlando. You
might drive up there and see him. Orlando is probably two hundred miles away.
I don't think you will, then, I doubt it. Let's see
what else is going on. Would you like to run a marathon? You
did? I did three? That was stupid too, But I raised a
lot of money for leukemia. Yes, you did. That's the best thing
about it. But that was stupid. It looks like Marvin Lewis is going
to become the associate head coach Willie of the Las Vegas Raiders, and maybe
Hugh Jackson maybe joining him in an offensive position. Offensive coaching position with the
Raiders. Well, he could become the head coach if the far the head
coach out there. So Antonio Pierce is there and Marvin Lewis is going to
be assistant head coaching him much. But I've always liked Marvin Lewis. I
like him. Imagine the Bengals before he arrived. You might recall the Shula
era. Do you recall that or not? Yep? What was that like?
Yeah? Absolute disaster. And I went I made the trip to San
Francisco, Willie when Darnay Scott would have caught a third down pass that would
have beaten the Niners years ago. And we come back and it's two o'clock
in the morning and we're sitting there. We get off the plane and there's
Jeff Butch Hopson, the then inchoir, standing there in the middle of the
airport with nobody around, and I'm about twenty feet away, and he asked,
Dave Shula, do you think you're gonna get fired tomorrow? Oh?
Oh, and uh Sula. Well, what he said I can't say on
the radio because you got to protect the license. And he chased He chased
a Butch about twenty feet before he hit the escalator who did work? And
then yesterday and then the next day fired. Let me give you three names
once of these men did the worst things. Are you ready? Go ahead?
Jeffrey Epstein, okay, Vince McMahon, yeah, Jeff or or and
one more maybe the truck and bozone Jeff Epstein Vince McMahon or hmmm, hmmm,
I'm up between those two. What do you say? How about Bill
Cosby? Put him in there, Bill Cosby, Jeffrey Epstein, Vince McMahon.
I think you put him in a cell together and see what happens.
I'm going with Vince McMahon. Crap, Well that's true, you're right about
that, but all of them are perverts, old man. I'd put him
in a in a two. Donald Trump is fired. Well at this point,
the Feds have seized Vince McMahon's phone. What well, I've seen some
of the stuff on that phone. Well yeah, not good, No,
not good. He came to a meeting in his underwear with that woman.
How do you do that? I mean they do that around here. Did
you take that training yesterday? Yeah? Sexual dissassment yeah, and harassment?
Right? Did you pass the tester? I sure? Did don't show up
here in your underwear. No, that's for sure. Well, don't worry
about that. I'd be like, I don't want to chase people away.
I like everybody that I work with. You look like watermelon. Yeah,
so I don't know. I don't know about his team. What's the I
mean, what's the guy thinking? He's worth billions of dollars? He's got
the he's got wrestling like I mean, you know, he's made trillions of
dollars And what are you doing? And he's in his seven person a lighter
out here. But don't know, lass if you're thinking about giving me a
superman blunch again, I've got the Cincinnati police right over there. What what?
What? What's he doing in town? Vince McMahon in town to kid
Maybe he's talked to Maybe he's talking to rick Yucchino or kid Chris. They
love that guy. Yeah, so he was here, Bence McMahon, and
he called the police to save him maybe from Rick Flair. Is that correct?
You didn't answer my question? Answer the question? What is it?
Bill Cosby? Jeffrey Epstein Vince McMahon, like I said, put him in
a two bed cell and let him go at it. I'm going with Jeffrey
Epstein because let the best man win. Yeah, I'm taking I guess Vince
McMahon in that matchup. That's true, but he belongs under the jail,
not in it. They all wait till the Feds get done with him.
His wife left him, Stephanie left him, Sean left him. He's got
nothing. Shane, he loved him to him too. All left me and
also Willie. Tonight, our beloved Cyclones are on the road at Fort Wayne
and then they'll host the combats here in the Queens City tomorrow night. That's
pretty good. But trying to get the starting date of the Red Spring training
accurate, will you? Yeah, people are really shocked. You gave him
three, three or four weeks. What's the difference. What's the difference?
Shocked? And how about Corbyn being traded from Milwaukee to bald How about that
deal that's a Galdamore Orioles Corbyn Burns out, that's you would want to be
get him out of, get him out of the center of the central division.
Might be that the Brewers, I mean, they lost their manager.
They've been trading guys. They trade Corbin Burns. Of course, I think
he's under contract for one more year and then he goes free agent, so
he's gonna make millions, but who knows, he may go into tank.
It hit that again. You have to feel the same way. Sake,
thank you? Who was that? Bob Casteline? We will bring championship baseball
to Cincinnati. He didn't say what year? Bingo? Right, that's correct.
In my great speech on opening day, I'm gonna pick the Reds to
lose using reverse psychology. Do you like that? You better say that because
they're going to create a riot ryot If you say the Reds are going to
lose on opening day, people are going to turn on you like when the
kids are out of school. We're going to turn on you like Mussolini.
See, the problem is it's not the kid's behavior, right, it's the
golden bus pass. Correct, that's the problem, right right, correct.
And when a gun is used to hurt someone, it's not the person that
used the gun, it's the gun itself. When someone drives drunk, it
is not the drive. It is not the driver. It is the car
that calls the drunk driving. Would you agree? Just listen to Broderick Crawford.
When we end the stoodents report every Friday. It's pretty good. Yeah,
pretty good. Yeah, we'll see what happens. Okay, segment is
that it in sports? Think so on of high school basketball tonight and seasons
winding down? Will you? I'm pretty sure you'll be in the playoffs in
playoffs, percell Mary, and it'll be here as a champions again. And
what's her name? That female player? We've had her on twice, she's
really good. Got to get her in here. Yep. We'll go undefeated,
untied, unscored on like the twenty eighteen Deer Park High School team.
I was just about to say that I'm tied unscored on, yeah, twenty
nine to Oh. Those kids worked hard in the offseason and they produced.
I'll never forget watching that game on Spectrum one that day, and and the
TV people are showing who's that guy in that Deer Park jersey number ten?
Ranning and raving like he's a member of the team on the court. Then
he's up there around the net taking taking down the net. These guys,
there's two guys on TV, had no idea who you were? Good?
And I'm laughing, my you know what? Off? That's good? Oh
and then I spoke afterwards of the team and I've never felt more proud to
be a wildcat of mid Amen to that. Well, you got your title,
Willy, so congratulations. That's right. I think I have a photo
of me cutting down the nets here someway there it is right there. Then
you had glory. You had glory there you went to Moler and kicked Brannon
and Larkin like ten in a row in free throws, because I was there
and all ten of them were nothing but strang bingo Larkin and Brandon. Larkin
hit about three or four in a row, and then Klang. Brandon hit
about four or five and Klang, what was I wearing your Deer Park jersey
and underneath it was a long sleeved shirt and dress pants. And I said,
you know what, give me the ball. Ten in a row.
I said, Larkin, you're up, let's go. He missed. That
was a classic night. And then I went to that. When walked out
of their stun, I went to the Maller m and I put I had
the microphone and I said, remember this, the best of Derrick Park will
always beat the best for Maller. Live with it. Then they had escort
you out of the building so you didn't get beat up. It was like
a UC game when you beat the horn frogs, right, they were charging
their court with you see and Xavier. After the game of the Gardens,
I had Sycamore Township's finest escort me off, that's for sure. Maybe I
should have said that, what do you think? Live with it? No,
don't want to incite the crusaders. Hell, they got all pissed off.
Fingo unbelievable, Andy Mack, get me out of the stew's report.
Willie. On this fry d February second, we say happy birthday to Andrew

WILLI and Honor are those people. We leave you with the immortal words
of the stud report. Call eight five to five, tell Bill to find
out you'll receive some valuable offers. Those are my TV show day, he's
got some valuable offers. What were those? Did you ever figure out what
the offers were? The honest one I had is a woman who has had
a child. Yeah, and they brought in like three suspects as to who
was the father, and each one do you think you were Mari Povitch or
something I was at a time, okay, And each of them told the
romance the love the head, and she related, I'm sure that Gyrone is
the father. Okay, we did the DNA, you are not the father,
and she collapses. He runs around crazy. Bring a number two?
Guess what this is it? I shouldn't have done it. By this is
the guy. Here were DNA results, You are not the father. He
runs around like crazy, She goes nuts, starts crying. The next show,
bring a number three, she run backstage and all that. Okay,
Number three comes in. Guess what what a show? Not the father?
She's a drama queen and still throws temper tantrums. So what were you like?
The fourth guy? And you were it? I said, all right,
it's me what what what? Wait a minute? What? Wait a
minute? What? All right? Segment that is added in sports, I
hope So when does read three weeks three, three weeks not two. Okay,
jeez, don't make a mistake. I won't anymore. No, let's
continue with more The Great American with the segment the Schmegma on news Radio seven
hundred held over here, parents, take your daughter to a get keyword on
our website and credit that's credit, Enter it now, Bill Cunningham, The
Great American. And of course immigration, illegal migration into America is the top
issue in America today. And I see that after the NYPD cops were beaten
down by illegal immigrants, and after their release with no bond, at least
one of them flipped the bird for the news media as it left. And
even now Governor Hochel of New York may take this thing more seriously. We've
gone from sanctuary cities and sanctuary states to we can't take it anymore. Jessica
Anderson, as the president of the Sentinel Action funnel'll get the website for you
later on if you want to be involved in that. And she says Democrats
are now beginning to feel the political pressure to secure the border. And Jessica
Anderson, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And here's the first inquiry.
I like to make that it appears the Democrats now have a plan to blame
the Republicans for what's happening on the southern border. Can you tell me the
two or three things that President Joe Biden could do now that would significantly change
the southern border without any more money being appropriated, and the Republicans are not
involved in that. What could he do but refuses to do so? Oh
man, thanks Bill so much for having me and drawing attention to this incredibly
important issue. You're exactly right. Joe Biden created this border crisis, and
he actually did it via executive orders, and so he can undo it with
executive orders or by simply enforcing the laws from the Trump administration that are currently
on the books, and so some of those specific In the first one hundred
days of his administration, he actually signed over ninety four executive orders reversing the
very effective Trump era border security policies. So he needs to go back,
he needs to rewind put all of those in place. He can do that
without the House, without the Senate. That is pure executive action. Over
the course of really the last year, he's taken an additional sixty four actions
to weaken security at the southern border. Of course he could reverse that as
well, all sixty four of those actions. So it's really difficult when the
left is trying to say, well, the Republicans have caused this crisis,
that is so far from the truth. Joe Biden created this border crisis.
He did it with executive orders. He can undo it with executive orders.
And that doesn't even start with what the House has already done in passing HR
two, which as we know, is a comprehensive border bill that would give
actual border security to a very poor scorer, and not coupled with Biden turning
the ship around, would bring security to our southern border. So when I
watched the nightly news, which I do so you don't have to, we
never get that information. We're told by Joe Biden over the line of a
helicopter, give me the power, give me the money, I'll fix the
problem. And the next question is, why don't you enact to stay in
Mexico policy, Why don't you quit parolling people inside of America? Why don't
you give the ability of border patrol agents to take illegal migrants and ship them
back to their home country. He doesn't do any of that stuff. But
the media is not in the business of telling the American people the reality of
what Joe Biden has done. And I have a thought, Jessica, that
maybe Joe Biden is so incompetent he doesn't know what he's doing mentally, and
that the staff around him all left over some Barack Hussein. Obama's administration is
actually running the presidency and Joe Biden doesn't know what he's doing. Is that
a possibility, very much so. And I think it's even worse when you
consider he might have actually met when he said when he put Kamala Harris in
charge of the border, she's supposed to be the so called borders are And
when was the last time she even went to the southern border. It was
once in twenty twenty one. So the administration can control the crisis, they
are actively choosing not to. And the other thing the news doesn't tell you,
mainstream media doesn't tell you, Bill, is just how much border patrol
right now is working. Over time, they have apprehended nearly six million illegal
crossers from the beginning of the Biden administration, and honestly that number is probably
higher. That's just six million that we know about, and then the Biden
administration is then turned around and released half three point three million of these legals
into the country, with over ninety nine percent of these illegals still residing in
the United States. So you know this is a farce when you hear the
Biden administration saying they can't control it, they need more power, they need
more executive actions. They have all of the authority to do that, they're
choosing not to, and they're choosing to flood our country with illegals. I
believe intentionally this is part of a larger political posturing that they have to not
only keep immigration as part of their talking points for the next election, but
to create more voters in the United States, where you have same day voter
registration and in a lot of states you don't have to have an ID.
So put two and two together and you get four, well eighteen states,
at least eighteen states have drivers licenses issued to illegal aliens and that automatically registers
that person to vote, and then the Secretary of the States in those seventeen
states send out the ballot to every registered voter and there's no confirmation as the
citizenship there's no confirmation as to a signal match. And so what's behind this
is twenty thirty another census is coming and the census is based upon persons in
a state, not citizens in a state. And so by Illinois, New
York, California, they can overwhelm due to the census and reapportionment congressional seats
from Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and from all the Red states. Is
that long term they have the news media generally on their side to relate lies
to the American people. Secondly, we've had anywhere between ten and twelve million
illegals enter the country under the last three years or so under Biden, and
they generally are dispersed to Blue states Colorado, Denver right now is in complete
chaos and is the goal then through reapportionment to make sure that the Red states
lose representation in the Congress. So in the House of Representatives, there's never
going to be a Republican majority of any great note there because of reapportion And
secondly, it creates utter chaos and confusion and anger. But at the end
of the day, doesn't this play politically positively for Democrats? I'd put it
this way. The left cannot win the messaging war on the issues they're running
on today. Right, the economy is upside down, the border is a
mess. Parents are losing control of their kids in schools, they're being sexualized,
They're not able to have a say in what they're learning. Kids can't
get a job, college costs too much. What of that are Democrats going
to run on? Right, there's nothing that they can run on. So
they need a new voting population to bolster their election outcomes. They need new
voters, so they have to go find them. Where they can't find them,
they need to make them. And so you know, it's not being
a conspiracy theorist, just try to put the dots together to understand why would
the Biden administration intentionally allow the border to be as open and dangerous as it
is now. Because they say the same facts the border patrol agents don't change.
Those are god fearing, god loving American patriots day in and day out
that are not being allowed to do their job. There's a political will that
is over on top of public servants, essentially what these good border patrol agents
are. So let's not kid ourselves about what's happening here. They are putting.
The left is putting their political will above the law, and then that
allows even more chaos to bread, even more chaos at our southern border.
So I think it's wise of us to be clear about the threats we are
facing. It's wise of us to understand the stakes of how high this election
is. That's coming November. It's the presidency, it's the majority in the
Senate, it's keeping the House, and it's finally having all three levers of
power to get a comprehensive border package done that secures the border first and foremost
in the way that President Trump did over his four years in office. So,
Jessica Anderson of the Sentinel Action Fund, you're saying that there is not
additional money needed. In the media, every time they have a chance to
ask a Biden administration official or Joe Biden can't even do a news conference,
say why don't you use executive action to correct the border? And they're relying
upon the so called mainstream media, which is losing its pinache in order to
keep communicating lies to the American people. Would base the decision not on truth
but something else. Can we step back a little bit and talk about the
men women and children coming across the southern border in the last three years plus
the numbers between ten and fifteen million. I read a report from the US
Census Survey that if we continue on this path, by the year twenty fifty,
which seems like forever but twenty, we're as close to the year nineteen
ninety nine as we are to twenty fifty, And so in the next what
twenty five twenty six years, there's going to be at least another one hundred
million Americans inside this country who are not vetted, living and doing whatever,
overwhelming the schools, the emergency rooms, the highways, pollution, food requirements,
medicine, et cetera. What does America look like in twenty fifty.
I may not be there, but I think you'll be there. What will
America look like if we stick with the interchangeable drill bit either Biden, Kamala
Harris, Michelle, Obama, Gavin Newsoen wide open southern border, keep blaming
the Republicans for not giving money when it's not needed. What does America look
like in twenty fifty if that report of four hundred and sixty million Americans is
true, Well, we can't We can't allow that to happen. I think
there are too many conservative loving Americans, common sense Americans across the country that
are going to fight this election twenty twenty six, twenty twenty eight to ensure
that the Democrats are not allowed to run rampant over our American institutions and our
way of life, and our culture, and our government and our foreign policy.
I mean, this is it's it's okay to I think, look at
the concerns going forward, but that fight is not over. I mean,
we have not lost our country. Yes, things are dire and they look
bleak, but Bill, you know this, I know this. Anytime you
go hunting, what do we say in the morning, Well, the sun
peeks out after it's just the darkest and we are in a dark period right
now. But the sun is right over the horizon. And a lot of
this can be turned around with a strong executive actions, with a Senate that
is actually controlled by conservatives, not rhinos, not Democrats, but actual conservatives.
And we have the chance for both of these those things this coming November.
And you know, I want to go back to your first question of
you know when when when Biden is saying, well, he needs more power
to do something or he needs more money. In the first hundred days of
his administration, remember he rapidly signed ninety four executive orders reversing effective Trump error
border security policies. He can go back and reverse all of those. He
then went further and took sixty four additional actions to weaken security at the southern
border. He can go back. He himself holds that authority. He can
go back and overturn all of that. It would take less than a day
of signing documents. So let's not kid ourselves about who has the power to
turn this crisis around. Biden does tell us how much money's involved on the
southern border. How does a person get from Nicaragua to l Passo Ego Pass?
How does somebody find their way from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan? Groups
of individuals, Someone in Kabul, Afghanistan didn't wake up this morning and say,
you know what, I kind of want to go to Ego Pass.
It doesn't work that way. Can you kind of talk about the tens of
thousands of generally unattached single mails and why they're useful idiots by the cartels.
What happens to the men, the women, and the children, and how
do you get from Europe, Asia Africa to Egle Pass? How does that
work? Well? Unfortunately, there is a underground network of cartels and NPOs
nonprofit organizations that have really nice sounding names that are you know, I think
trying to talk about a humanitarian crisis, that they're really just complicit in creating
a larger humanitarian crisis. But this network of cartels and NPOs and other bad
actors all across the globe, I believe that they work in tandem and that
they've created major kind of hubs south of the border for people to meet,
to then get organized to then cross illegally. I mean, it's not a
surprise when you see the crossings of fifty to two hundred people at a time.
It's not single you know, single onesies and twosies of people just running
across. It's organized, it's comprehensive, and it's just really bad. You
know, Bill, I actually lived in southern Arizona for some time in the
early twenty tens, and we lived just south of Tucson, so we were
just south of the border check in that's in Tucson, Arizona, and I
would actually when I would drive to the airport in Tucson from the town I
was living in, Sierravicea. I would drive that forty five minutes to the
airport or so mob it was like an hour. And I would literally see
women's heels shoes on the side of the road because the cartels had told these
women that it was just a day's walk or it was a couple of hours
walk, and they would be wearing high heels and they'd have to drop them,
they'd have to get rid of them because it was such a long walk.
And so when you see that, you just know that there's organization in
Mexico, south of the border, in these other countries that they're telling a
lie, and then they're bringing people not only illegally, but sometimes even against
the will sadly into the United States. And it's the cartels, it's the
NPOs. And we need to have I think a heavy arm of accountability.
The House Oversight Committee is trying to of that. Now there needs to be
even more of it to stop it. Well, Jessica Anderson sent no auction
fund. We're in trouble. We're in big trouble. And informed electorate is
democracy's number one virtue. And those who care about this issue, and almost
all of us do. If you understand what's happening, the women that are
raped, the men that are killed, the families that are separated at the
fentanyl coming in. One hundred thousand Americans killed every year by fentanyl, and
there's no appetite by the Democrats to change it. Even today. They don't
want to change it. They want to vilify Johnson, the Speaker of the
House. They want to have a warfare law fair against Donald Trump to make
sure he didn't get in and all the bad stuff they have planned for the
Trumpster is probably going to accelerate between now and November the fifth. It's going
to get worse, not better. But if they had the appetite to correct
this problem, they can do it without congressional action, because Trump did it
without executive action. He did it with executive action, but without the contents
out Congress. He did it, and Biden can do the exact same though.
That's the whole point here, and we just need to keep pushing it
back on them and just reminding reminding everyone that will listen to us that this
is a this is a crisis that the that President Biden and Borders are Kamala
Harris have intentionally created and they hold the powers to overturn it without congressional action.
Biden can do with Trump. Of course, Biden won't do that because
he thinks Biden is he thinks Trump is Lucifer, and so Biden's never going
to do what Trump did. All it has to happen. If it's a
Trump era policy, it will not be implemented. It doesn't make any difference.
They play games with the hearts and souls and finances and lives of the
American people. And if you have a child or a young adult who was
killed by fent and will understand that that's the policy of Joe Biden to let
it as much ventanyl as possible generally created in China across the southern border.
And it's just despicable what's happening. And if it doesn't change, if we
continue on this course, if in November we elect a Democrat promising more of
the same, I'm not sure the country can survive. I've never said that
before, but as Abraham Lincoln said that America will not fall, that no
foreign power can take a drink of water out of the Ohio River, nor
walk on the Blue Ridge that when America dies, it'll be a self inflicted
wound. And Lincoln was right. Right now, we're watching a self inflicted
wound, and we have hopefully Do you have hope that we haven't informed electorate
or not? I do I have hope. Look, I'm in the grassroots.
I talked to voters every single day, and people are coming to the
reality. Even swing voters feel this because you can't you can't argue with the
price of milk and the price of gas right now, the price of groceries.
You can't argue with the stories that you see in major cities, in
a lot of these deeply blue you know, cities that have been riddled with
crime and the lack of law and order. They're turning around wondering what's going
to happen, you know, with their local cities. So people are it's
not just conservatives that are awake. I think more swing voters, more moderate
voters are awake to the problems that our country is facing. It's up to
us to connect that anger right with how they're going to vote, making sure
that they have a plan to vote, that they know the new rules in
their state, that they you know, know when they're going to show up
at the ballot box. Is it early vote? Is it in person?
Is a day of like you know, that's on us, and we're working
at Centinel Action Fund to do that really aggressively this cycle, specifically with these
Senate battleground races, You've got to talk about crime in Pennsylvania. I mean
that's going to be a huge part of the ticket for you know what looks
like Dave McCormick and that Senate race. Same with Tianna and same with Ohio.
So we got to keep everybody informed, focused and realize that, you
know, the light is the light comes in the morning, and hopefully we're
at the morning for our country here. I love your optimism, Jessica Anderson's
Sentinel Action fun. I pray you're right. I think you're wrong, but
I pray that you're right because we got to get take our country back.

before we go much further Rocky. In the segment, it appears,
according to sources that the Kansas City chiefs fans who died in the backyard of
a friend's house where they had something laced with fentanyl, and the families are
saying, none of these three guys used drugs whatever, Oh oh, but
the person inside the house who was like knocked out for two days, may
have supplied fentanyl laced whatever, maybe marijuana, and these three guys did not
know or maybe they did know who knows, but fentanyl. Kansas City chiefs
frozen like a popsicle? What do you think? Some of them are calling
foul play, but I think more the likely scenario is these guys, you
know, they like to party a little bit and hey, I found found
some drugs from this other guy. Let's keep the party going a little bit.
And as you well know will in these days, anything can be lace
with anything, and that fentanyl is an absolute killer. It's fifty times more
powerful than heroin. A couple of granules, police will tell you, they
get on their skin, they go into cardiac arrest, so it's it's nothing
to play with. I just can't imagine that the high from that stuff must
be so unbelievable to cause someone to risk their literal life for that feeling.
I cannot understand it. I'm sure you and the segment can't understand it,
but it exists. And you the lawyer, what what what's this guy facing?
Yeah, it's murder because the big m Yeah, if he knew,
if he supplied illegal substances knowing they relays the fandel that's murder. That's three
counts of murder. So if nobody knew, probably not. But you still
have the unintentional killing of another brought on by a negligent act, and that's
manslaughter. So hell, I don't know, but more information has come out
rock about Vince McMahon. Now I asked you the question that segment did not
answer in the last hour. Are you ready, oh far away? Who's
more disgusting and reprehensible? One? Bill Cosby? Two Jeffrey Epstein. Three
Vince McMahon. Go Epstein because there's children involved, That's what I said.
Segment said Cosby, I'm saying Epstein because he had teenage girls that he marketed
around and flew O for the other two belong in the same place. Whatever
the hell that is as as uh as Epstein? Because what did you read
some of the stuff about Vince McMahon that Feds, by the way, are
going to pursue now criminal slash class action lawsuit status. They got his phone
right, his phone? Wo He deserves it, Yeah, he deserves it.
Its distinct. You know you hate there read this about people you know
that you think are are great people, and he's done a great thing built
at WW you know he's hated. But if he did it, then reprehensible.
You just dug you're star well. He groomed a woman that was vulnerable.

you know the Chargers. Look, I mean, if you're the Chargers
owner, I forget his name, but are you doing backflips? Because Jim
Harball is all Ball, doesn't care about literally any anything else. That's the
guy you want. I don't care about a condo, a house on the

says they got the guy. He was the quarterback for the Chargers about twenty
five years ago, and he returns. How about this an alma mater Michigan.
He comes back to head coach and then with the Chargers come back to
head coach. That's not bad, not bad at all. And he's getting
paid a five year deal allegedly worth seventy five million dollars, less than Michigan
was offering. They were offering ten years, one hundred and twenty mil.
We take a pay cut getting a payo West. No wonder he's living in
an RVA can afford it, he's an RV land afford it. First,

crap. Go The volunteers are in trouble with the with nil right, what
are you talking about? And so now they're gonna at some point with the
NC double A no longer control college football. Absolutely. The only question is
is it this year or is it next year? Or is it in three
years? Then who takes over the big ten of the SEC rules? Rules
or roost? Are there any rules anyway? Rock? What are the rules?
What are the rules? You're paying kids up front and supposedly they're didn't

How can you go after Tennessee when it is known to get a good
quarterback is about one and a half million dollars and you pay the kid.
How do you violate something in the NC That's why, that's why these schools
that are more power from the nc double A, and these leagues like the
SEC are going to stay to hell with you. We're going to form our
own deal. May think Greg Sankie will just become the football commissioner. The
footballs are whatever you want. And then everyone just football is its own entity.
They play by their own rules, and they need to get a collective
bargain agreement almost become like the NFL with that sort of arrangement where let's put
the whole thing where these players are, you know, the academic this and
that sort of thing treated like almost like a minor leagueses allow them to operate
how they want, have contracts, collective bargain agreement. A salary cap I
think would be good salarily so the prices some of these salary cap seriously seriously
so so some of these schools that that are would be they can't compete with
that. So salary cap in the NCAA. If you see Xavier sounds,
they are changing will twenty years, you got twenty years, you got three?
And what ten years of probation have you bought it? Get a hamburger
after the bear Cat Now he's riding around at a Mercedes. After the Bearcats
had the Final four and got there at the uh uh and they and the
Big Boy said, wait a minute, why as you see taking our money
out of the SEC, right and the Big ten. We don't want that
that. They don't want the UC's of this world to get a piece of
the pie. No, and so they want to do their own deal between
the SEC and the Big ten, maybe the A ten, maybe not rock.
What happened, what happens to the you know the other leagues? Well,
the only thing that could throw a wrench in this is if you look
back, like the history of the NFL, right that the AFL came around
and they wanted to you know, the the NFL smartly absorbed them and brought
them along and only and treated them as equals. They didn't say, well,
we're the NFL, you're the FL, you're a step below. No,
they they took a little humble pie and they say, look, in
the long term, US joining forces as equals is going to be a good
thing. The question that I always think about is in college football is very
territorial. Right, the SEC, we're the SEC, we're the best conference.
And people when the Big ten think they're the best conference, and you
know, so all the What would anybody be humble enough when any of these
commissioners of these you know, of these leagues be humble enough to say,
look, let's just come together as equals here and form this great gigantic thing
called college football D one college football, Power five football, and we'll make
money, handover fists and it'll be wonderful. Will they do that or will
they say, now, we got to prove we're the best. We got
to fight for just the SEC or Alabama and Auburn, or will they allow
other people to come to the table. That's the question. And what part
of Florida State suing the ACC and the ACC suing back Florida State because Florida
State wants to leave the ACC and I guess go either to the the ACC
got in a horrible television deal they signed to like twenty thirty two and I
mean the dumbest thing ever. So that's one of the issues involved with that.
Everybody wants more money. The grain let us of salvation thing go.

about money thing go Epstein, Cosby McMahon, all of them along under the
prison not in it Brock. What's on the show? It this afternoon?
