00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.599
I entered this nationwide keyword on our
website. Okay, that's hey, enter

2
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:15.119
it now. Bill Cunningham, the
Great America looking forward to my next vacation.

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.519
You can't get much better than that. I need a little bit of

4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.839
time off. The wars at talk
radio continue to be brutal. But until

5
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.239
then, I see with great interest
in Amy Murray and Charlie Luken and Paul

6
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.760
Musing and others in their possession.
I think in about eight weeks one point

7
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:35.079
six billion dollars and that's real money
about the Norfolk Southern Sale. What's happening

8
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.840
with that? They're in the mid
trust of picking the person to manage that

9
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.079
money. Was like five finalists.
Don't know what's going to happen down the

10
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.479
road. Of course, Amy can't
prejudiced the case by talking about which one

11
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.439
looks more favorable. But until then, Amy Murray, welcome to the Bill

12
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.079
Cunningham Show. And Amy, how
are you good? How are you really?

13
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.719
Happy? New Year? Happy new
to year? And all that entails.

14
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:59.439
I see that the other four members
of the board, of which you're

15
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.159
the more and ethical head, is
talking about who to give the one point

16
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.519
six billion dollars to kind of tell
the American people this day after Martin Luther

17
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.400
King Junior holiday, What is happening
with the one point six and how's the

18
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.519
board doing? Where's the money going
to go, when will it be picked,

19
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:22.400
how will the money be spent?
And all those issues please go absolutely

20
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.079
So, as you know, this
went through the election in November, so

21
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.840
it has approved to pass. We
will receive the money on March fifteenth,

22
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.560
and so right now the five members
of the board were conducting interviews to see

23
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.840
who will be the money manager.
We sent out a request for proposal and

24
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.120
had seventeen really great companies apply to
manage the money. And just to be

25
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.920
clear to people, this is managing
the money, growing the money. It's

26
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.519
not spending the money. That is
that money will go to the city and

27
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.879
the city will use it on infrastructure
like they have in the past. So

28
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.439
what we're talking about is making sure
that we are protecting this asset so that

29
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.000
it will continue to grow for the
next generations. And I noticed March fifteenth

30
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.239
is when Julius Caesar was stabbed to
death in the Roman Senate, and I'm

31
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.400
thinking, will there be some coup
where Charlie Luken will go down? Hard

32
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.280
is a March fifteenth. Why is
that date magical? Why pick that date?

33
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:16.960
You know what, that's the date
that was set when we were doing

34
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.639
the negotiations. It gave us enough
time after the election ended for us to

35
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.039
get everything in order. We want
to be able to have our money manager

36
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.199
set and be able to give the
money to them at that time and invest

37
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.400
it properly. And as you mentioned, Charlie Luken's on the board, Paul

38
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.240
Muthene, we also have Mark Mallory
and Paul Selvester and really this is a

39
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.800
board I think how boards really are
supposed to run. You know, three

40
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.840
of us have been political in our
past lives, really know the city.

41
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.599
All of us love the city a
lot, and really feel like this is

42
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.879
a huge legacy that we were leaving
to the city. And this board really

43
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.159
works well together. So I'm not
expecting any coup. We all, you

44
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.680
know, from day one, have
worked for the same cause and saying reason

45
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.759
and there's not a lot of politics
involved. So that is so nice.

46
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.919
So if the five of you get
together with the nine members of council and

47
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.879
they got robes on and they got
sharp instruments under their dresses, don't go

48
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.639
to the meeting. The eyes of
March. Maybe there'll be some assassination attempt

49
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.599
of Julius Caesar that we don't have
to worry about that that half tab pair

50
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.080
ofval Augustus will arise and seize the
money and run away with it. That's

51
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.120
not gonna happen. Okay. You
know what is so funny though, is

52
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.840
my one acting debut. I was
like in sixth grade and I played brudis

53
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:31.439
there you go? I'm worry.
I'm worried. I'm sorry, there's gonna

54
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:37.199
be aless coup. And it's so
funny because it was not that great and

55
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:38.719
my mom still remembers it and we'll
bring it up and said that was such

56
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.759
a great acting debut. So now
now we might be worried, Willie,

57
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.800
I don't it would be because you
know, half tam pure of all is

58
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.000
very aggressive and he wants the money. He needs the money. Now let's

59
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.919
talk about, let's quote having so
much fun. Let's not do that anymore.

60
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.560
Now. As far as some people
are concerned, like Tony Bender,

61
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.919
that the money is going to be
used for the street car to go up

62
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.439
the hill, which is it's great
to have where there's no fee to get

63
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.879
on the street car. You know, it's for free, so they talk

64
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.319
about the ridership is up. It
doesn't cost anything. It's costing a freaking

65
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.039
fortune. Any chance this money could
be used to extend the streetcar up they

66
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.959
held into Clifton after all, that
is infrastructure, well it is, and

67
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.399
so anything that the money could have
been used to for before the sale,

68
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.160
it can be used for after the
sale. So the sale does not make

69
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.279
any difference what the city can use
the money for. It has to be

70
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.480
ongoing infrastructure, so you know,
it might be a fight for someone.

71
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.480
I don't think it can be a
new street car. I think it could

72
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.160
be if there were issues with the
current rails and doing something like that.

73
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.160
But it's got to be current infrastructure
upgrades and maintenance. And so we are

74
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.079
giving the money to the city like
we always have some we really keep a

75
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.000
separation of church and state. We're
responsible for the money. When we received

76
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.399
it from Northfolk Southern, we gave
that money to the city and they spend

77
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.040
it on the infrastructure. The city
right now really has I think four hundred

78
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:03.319
million dollars worth of past infrastructure needs, so I think that they have plenty

79
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.160
to use this money for. And
with us being able to hopefully give them,

80
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.319
you know, almost double of what
they're receiving now. Hopefully we'll get

81
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.680
more roads paved, police stations,
upgraded fire stations, things like that.

82
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:17.439
But you know, they don't come
to our meetings, so we don't have

83
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.560
the mayor at our meetings. They
don't have their finger on the scale of

84
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:26.120
who we're going to pick for this. It's the five members and likewise,

85
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.839
we give them the money and you
know, based on how much we have

86
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.519
and how much we've received an interest
that year. We give them that money

87
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.519
based on our decisions, not what
the city needs, but what we are

88
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.160
able to give so that we can
keep that fund growing. And you know,

89
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.560
we'll add money back into the fund
hopefully every year and you know,

90
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.319
keep it growing for quite a while
now, Amy Murray, one of the

91
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.439
trap doors in this deal might be
the ability of counsel and or the mayor

92
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.319
to appoint the members of the board. Whoever controls the board controls the money.

93
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.519
Is there any whispering in your ear, whether mew Thing or Lucan or

94
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.160
you or Mallory whatever, saying I
kind of want you to do this,

95
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.000
kind of want you to do that. And since the American appoints. You

96
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:11.319
can't the mayor let you go if
you don't dance to his music. So

97
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.000
we have not heard anything like that
from this city at all, and so

98
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.519
you know, that really makes me
feel positive about that. Also, on

99
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.160
the board, really it can only
be three members from one party. So

100
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.560
the good news is they'll always be
two members from another party, from the

101
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.160
Republican Party on the board. And
so I think if people were planning to

102
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.319
do something, whoever those two members
are, if it's an hour in twenty

103
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.959
years, you know, would raise
the issue if there's something untoward going on,

104
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.120
which I don't foresee. Also,
if we give blow twenty five percent

105
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.000
of our principle, then we are
not able to give any money to the

106
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.560
city until we bring that up.
So it doesn't behoove the city or anyone

107
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.240
to try and spend the money or
spend out of the principle, because then

108
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:56.079
we would have to legally. This
was part of Dewaines bill, stop giving

109
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.040
them money until it's built back up. So you know, we try to

110
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.600
put in every safe to measure that
we can. I know it's really hard.

111
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.759
I know people often don't trust government
or politics, but we are doing.

112
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.959
You know, we try to put
every safeguard in place so that this

113
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.439
money will continue to grow and that
you know, the situation you talk about

114
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.600
can't happen in about two months.
You're going to get one point six billion.

115
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.480
You have it down to the last
five. What are the two or

116
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.879
three parameters as far as the money
manager. You have to pick someone in

117
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.480
the next few days or a few
weeks. But what are give me two

118
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.800
or three of the parameters. Yeah, So we actually have our meeting tomorrow

119
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.399
and we'll have the five finalists come
in and we'll have interviews with them and

120
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.879
discuss different issues. All of us
brings something different to the party as well

121
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:44.879
as we have Davenport, which is
a manager consulting group that does this all

122
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.639
the time. And then we have
two volunteer people from the Cincinnati area,

123
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:53.720
car Is Shure and Bob Sido,
that have a lot of hands on expertise

124
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.360
on this in the Cincinnati area,
so they are helping us with their financial

125
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.360
expertise. What we're looking though,
for is the firm background, qualifications,

126
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.120
experience. You know, really an
important thing is cybersecurity. We want to

127
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.680
make sure that the money's in there
and that it's safe and that there won't

128
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.800
be any issues. We're looking at
their proposed approach to the funds, the

129
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.720
performance measurements and how they'll evaluate it. Any special advantages the firm has,

130
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.720
of course they're fees, so those
are some of the main things we're looking

131
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.040
at. Of course, you know, inclusion is one of those that's listed,

132
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.319
is one of the guidelines also,
so we're looking at a variety of

133
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.159
things to make sure that we have
the best group to manage this money.

134
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.039
What does inclusiveness mean? What is
it? Well, I think that that

135
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.039
what what it means is that the
firm that we're using, they're going to

136
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.039
look at different fund managers to manage
different parts of the fund. So that

137
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.799
you know, the city is fifty
percent African American, and we want to

138
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.799
make sure that of the one point
six billion that you know, some parts

139
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.000
of the fund will have that opportunity. And I know, you know this

140
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.399
is really important to Mark Mallory and
and you know obviously the mayor and folks

141
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.879
like that, So we just want
to make sure that you know, there's

142
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.879
some different groups so it will be
part of the smaller amount of managing the

143
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.759
funds. Well, it's not about
you know, about black or white.

144
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.240
It's not about blue or red.
It's about competency. It's got to be

145
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.840
about who's the best. How come
skin color counts for something as opposed to

146
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.919
simply worried about the green. Yeah, well, the main thing is we

147
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.039
are worried about the green. And
I think all five of the funds we

148
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.000
have are very representative of great funds. And I think the reason that that

149
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.840
was added in on the inclusion part. It's a smaller part of it,

150
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.399
but I think it's important to some
members in Cincinnati that you know, when

151
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.919
they use the one point six billion, you know, one hundred million might

152
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.960
go to one fund, ten thousand
to another or whatever, and that at

153
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.879
least there's looking at that. And
that's not going to be the main point

154
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.399
at all, Willie. It's going
to be that we get a return on

155
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.720
our investment. I mean, that's
the absolute main thing that we are looking

156
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.960
at. We want to get the
return and uh, you know, be

157
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.200
able to grow this for the city. Let's see what happens there. You

158
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.240
know, I'm all about merit,
not so much about races and picking people

159
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.080
by the color of their skin or
the kind of sex they enjoy. It's

160
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.480
kind of the way things are today. But let's worry about merit. Well.

161
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.960
And really I agree with you because
if you remember when I was on

162
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.559
council, one of my biggest concerns
is on council they were looking at like

163
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.320
the pension fund and what would go
into that. And you know, we

164
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.320
started having council members say things like, well, if a company deals with

165
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.840
this other company that we don't agree
with, or we don't want to invest

166
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.840
in them, and you know,
we we shut that down right away.

167
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.840
And because for the pension fund and
for this, it's not based on these

168
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.000
things. It has to be based
on what's bringing the best return for the

169
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:52.279
city. Stay focused on that.
I would not go ahead, go ahead,

170
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:54.200
oh no. And so you know, so we've made it crystal clear

171
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.919
that is us five members. You
know, that's what we're looking at,

172
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.440
is the return for the city.
Yeah. I don't care if they're all

173
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.399
black, all white, all brown, all gay, all straight. I

174
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.639
just want competency. And that's the
way it is. But and the money

175
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.360
comes in March, as I understand
that the first year or two there's no

176
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.399
money dispersed at all to build up
a little bit of reserve. Is that

177
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.360
correct? There's no money spent on
infrastructure the first couple of years, Well,

178
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.480
that's up to the city. We
are looking right now because obviously we're

179
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.000
getting it in March and normally we
get our least money from Norfolk and Southern

180
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.279
so we're working with the city so
that we can disperse money to them.

181
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.639
In the first year or two.
It's just probably going to be a little

182
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.240
different than it's going to look after
we've been into a full year and we

183
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.200
have money and we have returns.
And lastly, what's happened to the Amy

184
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:48.639
Murray's and the List Keatings Because I
look at you two as competent who happen

185
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.080
to be female, but you make
sense, you have accomplishments, you care

186
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.759
And now the List Keatings in the
Amy Murray's cannot get elected as city Council.

187
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.000
They're all in the same political stripe. And looking into the future,

188
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.759
there's a little chance I think City
Council is going to become a Republican anytime

189
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.320
soon. In fact, as you
said to begin this, the five members

190
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.519
of this board are diverse, and
they get together and they work, and

191
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:16.320
they're Democrats and Republicans and one eye
is keeping the other one checking things out.

192
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.639
But none of that's happening on city
council now. They all speak with

193
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.639
one voice. All the votes are
nine zip. There's no watchdog. And

194
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.759
what happened to Amy Murray and Liz
Katy, well really, I mean that

195
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.279
is a huge problem for our city
and I think everyone needs to be really

196
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.320
aware of it. I mean,
Liz Keating was a wonderful candidate. And

197
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.639
you know, we used to have
twenty five people run for city council,

198
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.399
and because now the Democrats have such
a strong hold, last time we only

199
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.080
had ten. And so it's really
the Democratic Committee in Cincinnati that's picking who's

200
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.919
going to be the next city council
member. It's not really the election,

201
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.960
it's whoever they put on the sample
ballot. And you know, we have

202
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.519
a lot of Republicans within the city, so with fair representation, we should

203
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.720
have two or three people on council. So problem you need to have the

204
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.240
loyal opposition. You need to have
people that bring up issues when it happens.

205
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.559
I know that's role I played a
lot on council, and Liz did.

206
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.720
If there were things that went on
that we felt were uncomfortable of letting

207
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.960
other people know, alerting the media, stopping it, bringing other viewpoints to

208
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.200
our colleagues. So I think having
one of all party is not good for

209
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.360
the city at all. It really
worries me and Bill. I don't know

210
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.240
who's going to run as a Republican, no one. This point not worth

211
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.440
it. You know we will the
next selection be nine Democrats are already incumbents

212
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.799
runing. It's sad for the city. Yeah, Liz had the most money,

213
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.679
the most competency. You ran a
great campaign, didn't get a sniff,

214
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.360
finished tenth by like two thousand votes, not even close. Well,

215
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.679
Amy Murray, good luck, and
we'll see what happens in the future.

216
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.159
And to beware of the eyes of
March. And if you're called to a

have them go through a metal detector.

retiring in about what eleven months from
the Congress, but he's spent two and

236
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:13.000
a half days last week with doctor
Anthony Fauci about the lies of Anthony Fauci

237
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.799
relative to COVID nineteen plus. Also
later on as a professor from Annapolis,

238
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:24.000
the Naval Academy in Maryland, talking
about what's happening to the military under the

239
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:30.799
leadership of Barack Hussein Obama and Joe
Biden. And it's sad to hear this.

240
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.720
Gentleman has been a professor at Annapolis
now for about thirty two years,

241
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.399
and he's not in the military,
but he's been teaching courses at Annapolis for

242
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.720
thirty two years. And the way
that DEI, like a cancer, is

243
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.879
spreading in the military, has now
metastasized, and that merit doesn't count.

244
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.200
What does count is what kind of
sex do you enjoy? Or secondly,

245
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.159
what is the militone and content of
your skin, and what are your political

246
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.559
beliefs? And so that's sad,
as I said to Amy Murray, and

247
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:08.200
we could spend an entire show on
this, that DEI is destroying millions of

248
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:14.919
jobs, creating divisions among American people
that should not be there. So as

249
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.879
we continue to get ready for a
Congressman brad Winstrup after one o'clock and it's

doctor Anthony Fauci and statements sworn statements and

251
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.799

00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:14.920
character and the history of media in
this town. No one person has been

300
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:21.559
the main sports anchor on Channel five, Channel nine, Channel twelve and engages

301
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.319
in the battlefield of ideas here on
the big one, and that is Ken

302
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:27.440
Brew. I thank him, I
welcome him. I like a little time

303
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:33.160
off now and then to recharge my
batteries in the Southern Command now back here

304
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.079
in the frozen tundra, which is
the way I like it. But after

305
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:42.119
one o'clock today we're going to have
the great Congressman brad Winstrip will be with

306
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:48.079
you and I to discuss the testimony
coming up in about two weeks of doctor

307
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:53.400
Anthony Fauci and the number of lies
told by him and by doctor Collins relative

308
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.839
to COVID nineteen. Right now,
there's many parts of our country, believe

309
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.000
it or not, that are masking
up once again. Hear the crap out

310
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:04.240
of people because we live better living
in the dark fed crap like a mushroom

311
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.079
than it's a proud, loud and
sassy American, which all of us should

312
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:14.279
aspire to be. Also, later
on today after two o'clock will be Professor

313
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:18.799
Bruce Fleming. I read excerpts of
his book, Saving Our Service Academies,

314
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:23.279
which kind of fits into what Amy
Murray was talking about, and that you

315
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.440
would think when I think of the
service academies, I think of people like

316
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:33.279
Roger Staubach from Silverton, slashed Earpark. I think about the heroes that went

317
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.519
through West Point and the Air Force
Academy in Colorado Springs, the best and

318
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.200
the brightest. It was hard to
get in to Annapolis, and now not

319
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.680
anymore. The book seems to indicate
that the service academies today, and this

320
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.079
gentleman has been a civil professor for
more than three decades. He said right

321
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:59.079
now that for the beginning with the
Obama administration about fifteen years ago, things

322
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:06.720
change completely in the service academies.
DEI principles proliferate throughout Annapolis and West Point,

323
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.240
and at this point the US military
academies, on one hand, they

324
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:18.000
preach morality and ethics but practice none
of it whatsoever. Constant cheating scandals among

325
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:23.200
the midshipmen, constant underage drinking in
the marijuana use, raunchy sex, and

326
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:32.079
the dormitories, and basically the service
academies lack morality and ethics and values,

327
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.039
and it's getting worse. And this
gentleman has been there for thirty two years

328
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:45.839
teaching English, which is of course
forbotten in the service academies, and most

329
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.720
don't speak out against it because they
want their jobs. Well, Professor Bruce

330
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:55.640
Fleming was fired in twenty eighteen for
not towing the company line, and I

331
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.079
got his job back a year and
a half later with back pay, and

332
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:03.440
he's still there, and he's pre
American values of the meritocracy, How to

333
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:06.240
get in? How do you behave
now? Amy Murray? How does this

334
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:11.920
relate to Amy Murray and Liz Keating? These fine American females are saying basically,

335
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.319
look, we should live in a
society in which merit and value and

336
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:22.960
contributions reign supreme. But the far
left wing bigots who run many institutions in

337
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:27.039
this great country of ours don't feel
that way. And whether you're a Mark

338
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:33.920
Mallory or an AFTA have peerival or
a liberal Democrat, you want to pay

339
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.880
off your friends and family. You
want to pay off those fellow travelers who

340
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.799
think like you, to the detriment
of those you represent, which is kind

341
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:47.880
of different and odd, isn't it. You should benefit all you have to

342
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.680
add, subtract, multiply, and
divide in today's world by race or gender.

343
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:57.160
In today's democratic, liberal world,
if it's about race or gender,

344
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:03.240
I tell you who wins. It
should be about merit. And this prostitutes

345
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.559
the images and the words of doctor
Martin Luther King Junior, who so judge

346
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.400
me not by the color of my
skin, but by the content of my

347
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.319
character. Please give us equal opportunity, then get out of the way.

348
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.960
And after decades of liberal democratic rule, when equal opportunity didn't work, they

349
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:25.200
went to something called equity, which
concerns herself with outcome, not getting rid

350
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:27.759
of the obstacles in front of someone, so you can spend as much money

351
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:33.400
as possible. In the public school
system that is basically daycare services. Little

352
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:38.160
education is being done at CPS or
among most of the urban school districts.

353
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:42.839
Little education. Of course, the
cry then is to hire more and to

354
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:47.720
spend more money, which has the
opposite impact. So when Amy Murray talked

355
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.359
about well, we have to concern
ourselves with diversity, because that is a

356
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.599
song well sung by the radical left, she really believes, as I'm sure

357
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.359
you and I do, most of
us should be based upon met I don't

358
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.279
care if those handling this one point
six billion dollars or black, white,

359
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.839
brown, yellow, or polka dot
couldn't care less. I don't care if

360
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.680
the police division and Cincinnati or a
hundred or one hundred percent black or white.

361
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.160
What I care about is fairness and
merit. Who are the best qualified

362
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.559
to do the job, And after
years and decades, if that doesn't work

363
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:25.480
out properly, in that case,
will go to the bottom and say,

364
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:29.839
you know what, we're going to
have an outcome that reflects the population as

365
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.279
a whole. Well, the population
I looked it up at the city of

366
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.079
Cincinnati is forty three percent black,
and it's about forty three percent white and

367
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.680
the rest shaw we see others.
I feel a little bit scance even talking

368
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.559
about race when it should deal with
merit. It doesn't make any difference.

369
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:51.000
I care about green when it comes
to managing one point six billion dollars.

370
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.480
What difference does it kind of sect
someone in joy or the color of their

371
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.680
skin have to do with a good
return of the city. Nothing. Zero.

372
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.880
But they have to play the keys
on the piano to make sure that

373
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:10.920
the radical left, liberal Democrats,
progressives whose philosophies have destroyed family life,

374
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.880
religion, the schools, and employment. They got to have their say in

375
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.960
order to make sure that the fellow
travelers and the left are well paid.

376
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:26.519
And that's what's behind quote DEI diversity, equity and inclusiveness. Because other racism

377
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.359
of the Democrat Party. Here we
are what one hundred and sixty five years

378
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:36.200
later, guess what, we're still
fighting the racism of the Democrat Party.

379
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:41.839
It doesn't change, and it's ridiculous. They get away with it because those

380
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.240
in charge of thought, those in
charge of jobs, those in charge of

381
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:51.119
education, those in charge of handing
out money fully believe in the principles of

382
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:55.200
DEI completely believe in it, and
so what they want to do is make

383
00:26:55.279 --> 00:27:00.440
sure that they stay in power and
that their fellow travelers are well funded.

384
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:06.039
It could be something large like the
Southern Poverty Law Center getting favorite treatment by

385
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:11.559
the Biden administration to go after Moms
for Liberty declared by the SPLC is some

386
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.920
sort of hate group along with the
ku Klux Klan. That's right, Moms

387
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.720
for Liberty have been declared a hate
group. And on top of that,

388
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:29.519
what's happening in an employment sector.
You know, California is the patrit dish

389
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:36.319
of liberal ideas, and I would
say there be careful what you wish for.

390
00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:41.200
You may recall last year, about
four or five months ago, under

391
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:47.640
the leadership of Joe Biden the Democrats
that the UAW and I love men and

392
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.960
women to work with their hands.
Whenever I find somebody, a male or

393
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:55.680
a female working with their hands and
doing things like picking up garbage, or

394
00:27:55.680 --> 00:28:00.319
an electrician or a plumber, someone
working for Evans Landscaping, someone who is

395
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.680
getting up every day at six o'clock
in the morning, putting in their eight

396
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.440
hours, going home and tired.
Great respect for those men and women and

397
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.759
that those individuals need huge pay raiss
and benefits, etc. But it kind

398
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.599
of be based within an economic system. And when it came to the auto

399
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:22.920
workers, the White House took their
side, and ultimately they declared a great

400
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:27.039
victory when they received essentially a twenty
five percent pay raise. Twenty five percent.

401
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:32.880
Well, now the chickens are coming
home to roost quote robots are looking

402
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.799
better to Detroit as labor costs rise
quote unquote. In the Wall Street Journal

403
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:41.480
headlined about two weeks ago, who
could have predicted such a thing? That

404
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.480
somehow labor costs going up twenty five
percent will have no impact on the price

405
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:51.920
you pay for a car, and
automakers have been moving toward automation for a

406
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.480
long time. Goes a rising labor
costs and the twenty five percent pay races

407
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.640
across the board, plus lots of
money, according to the Wall Street Journal,

408
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.680
were raised to cost them the average
vehicle at least five hundred to as

409
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.680
much as nine hundred dollars per car. Does out effect inflation absolutely, So

410
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:12.839
they won, right, they won
a raise, then they lose their jobs.

411
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:18.839
Congratulations, you got it done.
Twenty five percent more. You also

412
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:26.519
may recall that in California starting I
believe March first, but it might be

413
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.359
February first, that they mandated the
minimum wage of twenty dollars an hour for

414
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.759
everyone in the state of California.
And by the way, the additional cost

415
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.759
of each employee is about twenty five
percent for fees paid for workers' compensation,

416
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.079
unemployment, et cetera. The real
cost is twenty five dollars an hour,

417
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:51.119
and it's going up. Who could
have guessed that two major California pizza franchises,

418
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:56.279
Pizza Hut and others, have now
laid off one thy two hundred delivery

419
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:00.319
workers headed the new statewide minimum wage
mandate. I'm sorry, it's starting April

420
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:06.279
first, one two hundred laid off
on government benefits. They can't afford it.

421
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.400
Customers won't pay it. If you
tried to buy a happy meal recently,

422
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.759
can't afford it. So one thousand, two hundred delivery workers out of

423
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:19.440
the new state minimum wage April first
in California have now lost their job.

424
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:25.359
Congratulations, you got to pay raise, but you're not working anymore. It's

425
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:30.079
unbelievable. It doesn't matter if making
cars or delivering peaches was your main job

426
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:36.039
or a side hustle, you're screwed
out of work. Congratulations. Democratic politicians

427
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:41.400
in California who also mandated, signed
by Gavin Newsom, that at least six

428
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:48.839
hundred thousand illegal aliens wrongfully in the
state of California now get free medical care.

429
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.559
Medical it's called six hundred thousand,
soon to be six million more free

430
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:57.920
if you try to go to an
emergency room. Recently had a family member

431
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:03.599
go to a Bees. She was
sixty two in line in the er and

432
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:07.000
she finally, after two and a
half hours, one home with a rapid

433
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:12.720
heartbeat. What do you do well, it sounds good. Great, acclaim

434
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.960
twenty five percent across the board,
pay increase, bonuses, et cetera.

435
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.960
So now what do we have?
Auto workers are losing their job because the

436
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.519
Democrats want them unemployed. Because if
you're getting your check from the government,

437
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:32.200
things are a whole bunch easier to
have that person vote for the Democratic Party.

438
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:41.720
So it's unbelievable. Also, the
Biden administration is replicating to get rid

439
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:47.160
of uber and door Dash and instacart
because they're not unionized. And secondly,

440
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.759
those who do such work and God
bless you for doing it. Democrats want

441
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.000
more people and government assistance. The
Democratic Party and the Liberals don't care.

442
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:00.440
So we'll see what happens down the
road with this. But Amy Murray is

443
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:05.160
a good person, as is list
Keating, and they can't fit in.

444
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.920
Doesn't work. You have to hit
all those keys on the piano to benefit

445
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:14.680
the politicians and city governments that are
actually in charge. In fact, in

446
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:19.200
the eight large cities in the state
of Ohio, not one Republican occupies any

447
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:23.079
city council seat. They're all thrown
out as the Democratic Party is going after

448
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:28.319
more and more power and money,
hurting those they're seeking to benefit. And

449
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:30.839
that's the name of that tune.
And lastly, I feel like I need

450
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:36.599
a comment what happened last night with
Iowa the Trumpster and I've been in touch

451
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:38.480
with Eric Trump. It's going to
come with us in a few days.

452
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:45.240
But nonetheless, a great victory by
Donald Trump, historic, unbelievable. He

453
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:52.400
was literally one vote shy of winning
all ninety nine counties, historic win over

454
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:55.359
fifty one percent of the vote.
He wins the widest margin in history,

455
00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:00.559
thirty points over fifty one percent.
Nicky n De Santis and now in life.

456
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:06.720
Support for Akramaswami has gone and I
was on a plane last night,

457
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:10.359
of course, coming back home,
and I watched the football game, and

458
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:15.839
then I go one back and forth
between MSNBC and CNN. It was absurd

459
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:23.440
what was being pushed by the leftist
radicals on those cable channels, especially Rachel

460
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:31.079
Madow who said that the US is
pushing itself toward authoritarianism. Whenever the radical

461
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:37.119
left uses a term to apply to
the other side, they're currently doing it

462
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:44.759
themselves. Authoritarianism. Are you kidding
me? Authoritarianism? The leader of the

463
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:52.440
Republican Party nomination is under ninety one
count federal indictment by Democratic prosecutors who've completely

464
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:59.480
lost their way, engaging in not
as serious behavior of what Obama, Biden,

465
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.279
and the Clintons have done for years. In fact, the Democrats are

466
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:07.760
working hard to remove Donald Trump from
the ballot. So which side is authoritarianism?

467
00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:13.920
Which side is weaponizing the Department of
Justice prosecute political rivals of the Democrat

468
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:19.519
Party? That would be the Democrats
and the Republicans are not the fascists because

469
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:22.519
they voted for Trump in the primary. The fascists are those who want to

470
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:29.159
stop the leader of the opposition party. If we even running unbelievable talk about

471
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:36.239
authoritarianism. Those are the Democrats.
It's embraced by the left. But if

472
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:40.960
we lose, if the Democrats lose, it's because of racism that they practice

473
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:46.920
or fascism which they practice. And
if the Democrats lose, democracies at risk

474
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.440
until we are restored to power.
And once we get power back, then

475
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:55.079
everything's okay. Let's indict and sue
the bejabers out of the leader of the

476
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:59.760
Republican Party to make sure he doesn't
run, and that we want to pick

477
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:05.639
the person that the incompetent Joe Biden
wants to run against. Now that's authoritarianism

478
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.400
right there. It's not the Republicans
practicing it. It's the Democrats. So

479
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:13.719
they quickly accuse the other side of
engaging in their behavior. Can you smell

480
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.599
what I'm cooking? We see it
in small ways in city council. We

481
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:22.320
see it in large ways in Washington. Grossly increase the cost of labor.

482
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:27.559
Companies react by laying workers off.
Congratulations, you got a twenty five percent

483
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:32.400
across the board pay increase. Now
you're not working. Congratulations as a left

485
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:39.280
women always give a nice tip to
someone from lar Rosa's showing them at my

486
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:42.760
door. I say thank you,
he they thank me. I no,

487
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.800
thank you for working, and by
doing so, they're put out of work

488
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:52.519
tens of thousands across the country because
the economics of capitalism doesn't work and companies

489
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:57.760
cannot afford to keep passing on to
us the cost of mandates put on them

490
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:00.679
by government. Can you smell what
I'm cooking? By the way, isn't

491
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:05.679
it great to have me back?
Let's continue. Coming up after one o'clock

492
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:09.400
will be Congressman brad Winstrip. After
two o'clock will be the professor the Canary

493
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:14.760
and the coal Mine, Bruce Fleming, to talk about what's happening at our

497
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:35.199
earlier today. Then I'm now officially
a fan of the Buffalo Bills because the

498
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:39.440
Bills and the Bengals have been the
seven Super Bowls, And what's their collective

499
00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:47.360
record correct zero and seven. Cincinnati
has a lot in relationship to Buffalo,

500
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:53.480
which is a terrible place to live. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WULW

website for details, an important safety
information line, and you're going to go

508
00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:30.760
back to his ordinary life, which
makes a lot of sense to those who

509
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.920
know what Washington is. But there's
been a lot of reporting this week on

510
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.000
the two days of the transcribed interviews
that he had with doctor Anthony Fauci.

511
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:44.519
Later on, there's going to be
same interviews not on the road, but

512
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:49.519
they're told ahead of time they're governed
by the rules of perjury that doctor Francis

513
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:53.480
Collins is also going to testify with
the idea down the road, maybe this

514
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:59.280
month or next to have the testimony
public, and in which case, doctor

515
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:04.920
Anthony fouch you will have to answer
to be kind, the misconceptions and the

516
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:07.800
mistakes that he's made, to be
unkind, the lies that he told over

517
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:13.079
the last several years, because doctor
Anthony Fauci has been not beautified. He's

518
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:19.239
been saying it by the mainstream media. But Congressom brad Winstrop is a doctor

519
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.800
and he's head of the subcommittee in
the House on Select Committee on COVID the

520
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:27.920
origins and the fallout. And Congressome
brad Winster, welcome again to the Bill

521
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:31.880
Cunningham Show. And can you tell
the American people essentially, why did you

522
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:38.280
conduct two days of private interviews looking
forward to his public testimony at some point

523
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:44.199
this month or next. Yeah,
the private interviews do very well as far

524
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:47.800
as being able to ask a lot
of questions, whereas in the other members

525
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:52.159
have five minutes to ask questions and
they know they can just beat the clock.

526
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:54.960
In this case, we have a
little bit more time. I'll tell

527
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:58.320
you, we could have gone two
or three more days to be honest with

528
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.320
you with all the questions we had, but we still learned a lot.

529
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:05.199
Let mean, let's face it,
Anthony Fauchi was the face of the pandemic

530
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:08.480
or the government's response to the pandemic. He weighed in on a lot of

531
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:14.679
issues. But in these transcribed interviews
over one hundred times, just on the

532
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.760
first day, over one hundred times, he said he didn't remember things,

533
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:21.440
but we learned a lot. Anyway. You know, we asked him about

534
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:25.480
how they came up with the six
feet of social distancing, and he said

535
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:30.159
it just sort of appeared. Yet
I think most America thought that he was

536
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:35.559
speaking with some kind of scientific background
on that, but no, it just

537
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:39.119
appeared and that's what they went with. And we had similar questions when it

538
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:43.480
comes to mask. You know,
was there a double blind study does show

539
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:47.760
effectiveness or anything along that line.
There really wasn't, per se, And

540
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:51.400
of course he changed his mind on
that. He said the mask won't do

541
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:53.519
any good. And then next thing
you know, people are being told they

542
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:58.159
have to wear them, and you
know what, if you don't know,

543
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:00.320
just say you don't know, but
you think it might help, you know.

544
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.719
But that was never the case.
Everything was I know and you just

545
00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.760
have to follow what was really interesting
too. So you have the situation of

546
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:15.559
the United States government funding grants that
are for people to perform research in Wuhan,

547
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:22.079
China with coronaviruses, likely doing gain
of function type research where you're taking

548
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:30.000
viruses, altering them around, either
through multiple passages through animals or just changing

549
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:34.559
them by kind of working like legos
if you will, and if you put

550
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:37.760
it more dangerous part that makes it
more infectious, not to humans, that

551
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:43.400
is gain of function research, or
if it happens if you're running through animals,

552
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:46.880
but that's gain of function research as
everyone understands it, and you know.

553
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:52.119
You go back to twenty eleven,
doctor Faucine, doctor Collins wrote an

554
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:54.719
article about it. They realized there's
risk involved with it. They had that

555
00:40:54.800 --> 00:41:00.559
in their article. Twenty twelve,
doctor Fauci said in an interview that the

556
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:05.000
benefits outweighed the risk even though the
question was posed, are you concerned it

557
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:07.599
could create a pandemic? So we
know where they were and where they have

558
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:15.679
been on this. But the process
in NIH is there's an advisory board that

559
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:20.519
reviews the grants, doctor Fauci said. He said, I I just signed

560
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.960
it. My job is only to
sign them after they've been approved, and

561
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:27.199
then we got into then we got
into oversight of these grants. So you

562
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.360
know, the question starts coming where
does the buck stop with any who's responsible

563
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.719
for anything? When we said,
well, what about the grants, because

564
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:37.360
we know, for example, Eco
Health Alliance have got a grant to do

565
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:44.079
this type of research in China was
not keeping up with the responsibilities of filing

566
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:49.039
their periodic reports of the progress of
their work. But no red flag went

567
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:53.159
off at nih or NIAI D,
which doctor Fauci's in charge of, and

568
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:57.880
no red flag goes off to say, hey, you owe us these reports.

569
00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:00.440
And when we asked them about that, he said, well that's over

570
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:04.320
in compliance and I don't have anything
to do with this. So you know,

571
00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:08.800
he just signs off on grants for
research he hasn't He says he hasn't

572
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:14.639
explored, and then if things aren't
going well, then that's not his fault

573
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:20.800
either. You know, we asked
about do you have oversight over foreign labs

574
00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:23.480
when we invest and do research,
and he said, well, I wouldn't

575
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:28.159
even know how to do that.
So it seems like he's just saying on

576
00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:30.559
all these things that's somebody else.
That's not my job. Basically, he

577
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:35.239
says, I was focused on the
virus, and I was focused on a

578
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:38.679
vaccine. We talked to him about
mandates, which which he supported. He

579
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:43.119
felt that, you know, all
the more people would get vaccinated, the

580
00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:45.960
less people will die. That's what
he says. But he then he admitted

581
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:52.559
he said, I guess I didn't
really I'm trying to paraphrase here, understand

582
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:55.559
the psyche of America. And I
said, no, you didn't, and

583
00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:00.840
and you took doctors out of the
equation because never was that. You know,

584
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:05.639
understand your own health situation with your
doctor, Understand what the vaccine can

585
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:08.159
and can't do. Because even from
the trials, we knew that people got

586
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:14.400
vaccinated, they still got COVID in
many cases, sure people were dying and

587
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:20.079
pure people being hospitalized. And you
know, you had President Biden saying,

588
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:23.079
if you get the vaccine, then
you won't go to the ICU and you

589
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:28.400
won't die. Well, that wasn't
true, and he never contradicted the President

590
00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:31.039
on that. He never let the
American people know the truth about that.

591
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:35.559
So this is all of this is
where the trust broke down. And I

592
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:38.639
just said to him, the messaging
was just terrible. And actually, you

593
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:43.880
go back to the Trump administration where
I'd recommended when they came to the doctor's

594
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:45.800
caucus, I said, I think
America needs to hear from the doctors that

595
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:51.559
are treating COVID patients, not the
politician and not the person in the lab.

596
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:54.320
And so we really came away with
a lot of things. And there

597
00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:59.960
are people that we've spoken to positions
of authority that could tell a different story

598
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:05.599
than we're hearing from doctor Fauci.
And we did have doctor Collins in actually

599
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:10.360
a few days after doctor Fauci.
And so again, one of the interesting

600
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:16.960
components is that most people might recall
the exchange with Senator Paul where Senator Paul

601
00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:21.159
says, you were funding gain to
function research in China, and he said,

602
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:23.840
no, we weren't. You don't
know what you're talking about. Well,

603
00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:29.119
lo and behold. After that,
he comes up with a new definition

604
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:32.320
for gain to function research. Gain
function research in every article I've read,

605
00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:37.400
and I have read many many of
these articles is about enhancing a virus that

606
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:43.679
makes it more infectious, not just
infectious to the point of a pandemic,

607
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:47.360
but just makes it more infectious.
So his new operative definition, as he

608
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:52.840
coined, it means that it becomes
a potential pandemic pathogen. Well that's a

609
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:58.519
different story than anyone's ever said about
gain of function. So conveniently now he

610
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:02.280
and doctor com Oens say, oh, that's the definition we were thinking about

611
00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:08.880
change. But the NIH website did
not say what it says now. They

612
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:15.840
did that after that conversation with doctor
Paul all Right, doctor and Congressman brad

613
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:19.760
winstp As someone that's covered this for
the last since March of twenty twenty,

614
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:25.400
I thought the six foot and the
masking was a placebo in order to get

615
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:30.960
the masses to understand what a serious
problem it is. And so when doctor

616
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:36.000
Fauci, everywhere you went there was
six foot separation, there was no study

617
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:39.519
to indicate that was effective. And
that's the truth. Masking. There's maybe

618
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:44.960
an N ninety five in a surgery
setting may work, but there was no

619
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:49.960
double blind studies indicate the masking had
any impact. Also, just as someone

620
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.440
who covered this, as I understand
it, the original goal of doctor Collins

621
00:45:54.519 --> 00:46:00.960
and doctor Fauci was to convince everyone
that there was some bat cave in southern

622
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:06.559
China where these nasty bats developed COVID
nineteen and somehow made their way to a

623
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:12.360
wet market just happens to be right
up against the Wuhan virus facility, just

624
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:15.440
happened to be there, and that
these wet little animals were infected, and

625
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:20.360
that it was created not in a
lab, but created by the bats.

626
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:23.559
So you can't sue a bat.
And I thought the reason that story came

627
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:29.199
out is because they had to keep
the truth from the American people that the

628
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:35.239
American taxpayer funded the Wuhan lab to
gain a function. Research was to take

629
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:38.760
a virus that was a little bit
communicable, a little bit making someone sick,

630
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:43.519
and to make it more communicable and
make it more deadly. And when

631
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:49.679
the American people knew that doctor Anthony
Fauci funded the creation of COVID nineteen that

632
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:52.679
killed about one million Americans and maybe
ten million around the world, he would

633
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:58.480
be somewhere in Leavenworth. So they
couldn't tell the truth about that matter because

634
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:02.239
they were complicit. Am I on
the mark off the mark? Where am

635
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:06.519
I in those comments? Well?
I think everything points in that direction,

636
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:10.199
especially if you follow the conversations that
took place with doctor Collins, doctor Fauci

637
00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:15.039
and a group of scientists that he
put together. Doctor Fauci said, well,

638
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:21.000
every environmental virologist that I know of, you know, they wrote this

639
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:23.800
piece too. They said that it
came from nature. Well, that article

640
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:30.519
proximal Origins he put these scientists together. In their internal conversations, they keep

641
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:32.800
saying, well, this thing looks
engineered. We sort can't rule that out.

642
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.320
Even the day that doctor Fauci took
that article proximal Origins to the White

643
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.679
House lawn and said, look,
these scientists said it came from nature.

644
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:45.960
He didn't tell everybody that he was
involved with these guys. And even doctor

645
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:50.119
Fauci said, well, we know
in fact that they were doing this type

646
00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:52.480
of research in China. During our
conversation, he says, yeah, I

647
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:55.800
probably shouldn't have said in fact.
Well you did say in fact, and

648
00:47:55.880 --> 00:48:00.360
you said in fact because the people
who wrote that it came from nature,

649
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:04.400
we're telling you that this was going
on there and that they thought it looked

650
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:07.280
engineered. But they didn't think it
was going to be good to get that

651
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:12.159
out, So they write this article, not only that, studying the science

652
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:15.000
of what they proposed, how it
could have happened in nature. The bats

653
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:22.719
were in Unan Province. The other
component that was added to the backbone,

654
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:24.920
if you will. The virus was
something that came from an animal called a

655
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:37.079
pengolin, and they're over in Guandong
Province and Wuhan is in Hubei Province.

656
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:42.840
They're not anywhere near each other.
They are a triangle. So this bat

657
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:49.840
had to have exchange something with the
penglin through another animal. That's how that

658
00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:53.559
happened. So you take virus from
one animal, virus from another, and

659
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:58.800
they both get into a certain animal, creating this new virus, and then

660
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:02.960
somehow there's no direct line here.
They end up in a wet market and

661
00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:07.679
where is that animal? And none
of them have tested positive. There's flaws

662
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.760
and assumptions with this article. When
I asked doctor Fauci now that he says

663
00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:15.519
he's open to the idea that it
could come from the lab, I took

664
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:21.280
him through some articles and some very
great scientific articles saying how they could make

665
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:25.360
a virus like this, just like
this, that reverse engineering muta genesis.

666
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:29.880
They can do this stuff in the
lab, and it's all out there.

667
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:31.199
And I asked him if he read
any of that, and he said no,

668
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:37.360
Well, so how Thomas Thurrow.
Is this man being not really or

669
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:42.599
just ignoring right? Well? And
the other issue is how much money did

670
00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:47.519
doctor Anthony Fauci make off this entire
matter, because there's been some Senator rand

671
00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:51.920
Paul and others, and between you
and Senator Ran Paul, we know a

672
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:54.440
lot more about this. The mainstream
media will never cover this because they have

673
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:59.880
saint it doctor Anthony Fauci and sent
them off with the golden parachute. Is

674
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.400
is there any evidence that personally doctor
Anthony Fauci made millions of dollars off COVID

675
00:50:05.519 --> 00:50:10.280
nineteen Well, I think that there
very well could be, and that's why

676
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:14.800
we're looking into it. And I
will tell you when we go to the

677
00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:20.079
agencies and we ask questions, give
us information about the grants, give us

678
00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:22.760
information about this, and they fight
us tooth and nail. That should not

679
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:27.280
be how the American government works.
This is the government of we the people.

680
00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:31.599
And when Congress says we need this
information from agencies that we created,

681
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:37.159
agencies that we fund, there should
be no hesitation. We have to write

682
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:39.840
two or three letters, they stall, We threaten subpoena and then they come

683
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:44.320
around, or we have subpoena to
get a lot of the information that we

684
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:47.360
have. It's absurd and the American
people deserve a whole lot better. And

685
00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:52.320
it's just one word, honesty,
And that seems to be missing tremendously from

686
00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:55.800
the whole conversation. And there seems
to be a lot of people that want

687
00:50:57.000 --> 00:51:00.559
don't want us to know a lot
of different things, and what you mentioned

688
00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:02.639
is one of them. How much
money was made? And what is that

689
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:08.599
route? Congress and brad windstrip six
foot separation? No science based upon that.

690
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:13.079
Schools were closed. Fauci said he
had nothing to do with that,

691
00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:17.440
which was a lie. The origins
were less than truthful because the origins would

692
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:22.480
indicate that the Wuhan Lab, funded
by the American taxpayer, created it.

693
00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:25.480
It was man made masking, No
double blind studies on what kind of mask,

694
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:29.719
how do wear the mask? None
of that worked. Gain of function

695
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:35.199
research lies or everywhere by the officials
and the bureaucracy. Congressman is simply waiting

696
00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:38.800
for you and Senator ran Paul to
leave office. The fourth branch of government

697
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:43.440
is the most powerful because they're not
going anywhere, and they know they're going

698
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:46.920
to have democratic stooges supporting them.
And when you go after doctor Anthony Fauci.

699
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:50.480
You're going to have the New York
Times, the Washington Post, CBS,

700
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:54.400
ABC, NBC coming after the critics
and not going after doctor Anthony Fauci

701
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:59.559
and doctor Francis Collins and what they
did beginning four years ago or eight years

702
00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:04.480
ago, because the truth doesn't fit
the narrative. And as a consequence,

703
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:09.320
we had a COVID nineteen that killed
about one million Americans, which is something

704
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:15.119
like one third of one percent.
One third of one percent or less died

705
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:20.480
of COVID nineteen one third of one
percent. But there are more more effective

706
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:23.599
viruses out there that exist that have
a much higher death rate. The death

707
00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:29.320
rate here was largely among older folks
and those who were immune compromised under the

708
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:32.320
age of sixty five. The great
majority were older folks. But right now

709
00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:37.800
there are viruses being created in certain
places, and I'm sure you're familiar with

710
00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:43.000
them that indicate they might have a
fatality rate of seventy percent or fifty percent,

711
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:46.199
not one third of one percent.
So your goal here is to find

712
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:51.639
out the origins and what to do
to save the next one. What is

713
00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:55.000
what is your fear about this?
What is your fear going forward, Well,

714
00:52:55.079 --> 00:52:58.760
you know, I sit on the
Intelligence Committee, and when COVID started,

715
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:01.280
I was first looking at into like
how do we diagnose this and how

716
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:05.800
do we treat people? And it
was vague, it was novel. But

717
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:10.480
in the process and even before COVID, I was interested in bioweapons programs of

718
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:15.639
our adversaries, especially and especially China. And so that's one of my biggest

719
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:22.519
concerns is developing a weapon of mass
destruction basically, and are we prepared to

720
00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:28.559
handle that if and when it occurs. And so that China's been talking about

721
00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:31.079
this kind of stuff stance two thousand
and five, and our State Department has

722
00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:35.800
come out publicly and said that as
far back as two thousand and five.

723
00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:39.079
So how can you not look at
the fact that China has these programs in

724
00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:46.280
Wuhan and not put the two together. And there are people that work with

725
00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:52.840
the military that we're working in Wuhan. So there's just so much there.

726
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:54.440
The writings on the wall, it's
very dangerous, very serious, and I

727
00:53:54.480 --> 00:54:00.599
don't understand why this became a part
of an issue. Look, there were

728
00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:04.800
three thousand people that died on nine
to eleven, and that was a catastrophe

729
00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:08.239
for sure. We went to war
for twenty years and we were united in

730
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:13.639
that, especially at the beginning.
Here this happened and it became a political

731
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:16.440
nightmare, and I believe in part
because it was the presidential year coming up

732
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:22.840
that made it worse. But one
point two million died in this. And

733
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:28.440
if you get a chance when the
transcripts are released, you'll see that when

734
00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:35.119
the Democrats were asking questions, it
was almost as though they were just a

735
00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:39.079
few additional defense attorneys on behalf of
Fauci. I mean it, really they

736
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:43.960
were any tough questions. Yeah,
well, I tell you what. We

737
00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:46.400
have to run, brad Winstrip.
But I'll look forward to later this month

738
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:50.599
or next month to watch them live
on TV. It's going to be wild.

739
00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:52.559
But once again, I want to
thank you and Senator rand Paul for

740
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:55.559
the work that you've done. Your
voice is crying truth in the wilderness.

741
00:54:55.960 --> 00:55:00.039
Once again. Congressman brad Winstrip,
thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham

742
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:05.679
Show. Thank you, Congressman,
Thank you Bill. Let's continue Bill Cunningham

743
00:55:05.760 --> 00:55:10.079
with you every afternoon on news radio
seven hundred WLW. If you are traveling

744
00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:14.559
near Jackson, Michigan, who over
and pay your respects to the grave of

What was that? I tried to I

787
00:58:31.119 --> 00:58:35.239
tried to, uh him, No, no, you can't do that.

788
00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:39.480
But you've not heard Joe Dieters's voice
accepting cuts for the last year and a

789
00:58:39.519 --> 00:58:43.400
half, that's for sure. But
he says, is he allowed to talk,

790
00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:47.039

a list of purported questions. Oh

00:58:47.159 --> 00:58:52.039

00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:54.320
well, on the other hand,
he said, this is what I cannot

793
00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:59.360
discuss. This is what I should
not discussed. This is what I can

794

can't discuss. I'm going, what what

day that was sentencing somebody was Judge
Leslie giz as Is said, never call.

800

00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:45.719

read that in the state of New York

805
00:59:46.360 --> 00:59:52.360
there was a father who kept his
daughter as a hostage and a sex slave

806

839
01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:44.239

think so. Hopefully, hopefully Sunday in

840
01:02:44.280 --> 01:02:47.880
Buffalo that mess ends too. I
told Scott, I tell you one thing.

841
01:02:49.199 --> 01:02:52.840
If she shows up in Buffalo,
oh, the mafia will let her

842
01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:59.480
have it. Dave just told me
that Taylor Swift has a brother, Austin.

843
01:03:00.079 --> 01:03:02.159
That don't make it. What was
he going to do Jay's bodyguard or

844
01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:07.679
something? Jason wouldn't go that direction, would he? No? You and

845
01:03:07.840 --> 01:03:10.119
Eddiot? Yeah, Jason, that
doesn't mean he's gonna stay married, you

846
01:03:10.239 --> 01:03:15.440
fool. He might give everything up
soccer. Would you give everything up for

847
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:17.760
Taylor Swift? If Taylor Swift saw
you, no, would you say,

848
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:29.079
look, would you the first Lady
Southern Command Aaron Aspare the life you lead?

01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:39.239
It'd be two questions, what do
you have here? We go give

01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:43.039
it to her? What do you
got? Give it to her? Yeah?

853
01:03:43.639 --> 01:03:47.119
I to go through that. No. I read a report that if

854
01:03:47.159 --> 01:03:52.559
they get married, I hope this
ends Sunday in Buffalo. Well, goodness,

855
01:03:52.599 --> 01:03:54.880
the Chiefs don't have any more home
games. Travis is worth one hundred

856
01:03:54.880 --> 01:04:00.239
and fifty million. Yeah, she's
worth about what sixty trillion? She's says,

01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:03.639
I want a prenup for somebody with
one hundred and fifty mili You gotta

858
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:08.360

got in her pocket. What she wants

859
01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:12.679
the prenup to protect her assets from
him. She wants a prenup. Hit

860
01:04:12.719 --> 01:04:18.480

know what I all I gotta say is

861
01:04:18.639 --> 01:04:23.760
I don't know I've had enough for
her. Me too. I hope,

862
01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:27.360
I hope we don't have to see
her after Sunday, Taylor Swimagine her if

863
01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:30.519
the Chiefs make the Super Bowl.
But if she's in Buffalo and walks down

win in the pool this past weekend in

871
01:05:05.639 --> 01:05:11.039
a Pro Swim series in Knoxville,
Tennessee. So we'll see, we'll keep

872
01:05:11.239 --> 01:05:15.800

US male. Yeah, yeah, Elvis

875
01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:27.039

nuts. They wanted the king, they

879
01:05:41.199 --> 01:05:44.320
wanted him. It was packed and
stacked. Good friend of mine, Sean

880
01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:48.280
Donovan went there. He bought multiple
tickets so he could sit there and sing

881
01:05:48.760 --> 01:05:55.199
Blue Swede Shoes and Sean Donovan can
sing also well. He was standing up

882
01:05:55.360 --> 01:06:00.199
dancing the Blue Swede Shoes. I'm
thinking, I hope somebody got that on

883

01:07:08.760 --> 01:07:13.480
one hundred and fifty million dollars,
get married? Are you thinking on the

898
01:07:13.559 --> 01:07:17.920
other side of the spouse wanting you
to sign a pre nup so you can't

899
01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:21.920
share in her wealth. We're talking
some money right now. I'd say,

900
01:07:23.199 --> 01:07:26.679
see you. What would want to
be say? Coming up next as a

full blown professor at Annapolis saying the
service academies are in deep trouble. Uh

902
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:34.840
segment, give me out of the
student report? Will you, upon your

01:07:56.760 --> 01:08:00.159
nation that can be defined in a
single word. I was gonna put him

908
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:09.039
so he hadn't missed anything. We're
in trouble. Great victory by the Trumpster

909
01:08:09.159 --> 01:08:12.440
segment. Thank you Yes. Coming
up next will be a professor, a

910
01:08:12.599 --> 01:08:16.840
civil professor in Annapolis saying we're in
trouble. Bill Cunningham back loud, proud,

911

01:08:31.520 --> 01:08:39.359

914
01:08:39.439 --> 01:08:43.199
to twenty thousand a month and professed
and the brightish you're leaving. And of

915
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:47.439
course one of the foundations of our
country's greatness are the service academies. And

916
01:08:47.800 --> 01:08:54.720
I can't speak more highly of my
good friend Roger Staubach. And he certainly

917
01:08:55.039 --> 01:08:57.760
talked the talk, walked the walk, did everything that he could. He

918
01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:00.399
was an American hero in my opinion. He went through the Service Academy.

919
01:09:00.920 --> 01:09:05.279
And we have joining you and I
now as Bruce Fleming, who spent about

920
01:09:05.399 --> 01:09:10.720
thirty years as a professor at the
US Naval Academy. He's written some twenty

921
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:15.159
books, and one of the books
recently out is Saving our Service Academies.

922
01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:21.199
The Battle with and for the US
Naval Academy to make thinking officers. And

923
01:09:21.479 --> 01:09:26.720
in the book, there's a concern
that this gentleman has, and he's spent

924
01:09:26.920 --> 01:09:32.760
decades at the Service academies, that
something is wrong once proud citadels of virtue,

925
01:09:32.800 --> 01:09:36.840
the US military academies have lost their
way and are running on fumes.

926
01:09:38.119 --> 01:09:41.439
They need to be fixed before it's
too late. And Bruce Fleming, Welcome

927
01:09:41.479 --> 01:09:45.439
to the Bill Cunningham Show. Is
because you have all the information you were

928
01:09:45.479 --> 01:09:49.319
there. What is some of the
major difficulties at least in the naval academies

929
01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:55.079
West Point and in Colorado Springs.
What are the difficulties currently in the US

930
01:09:55.199 --> 01:10:00.680
military academies. Yes, absolutely,
that's the focus of my book. Let

931
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:03.119
me start by saying that your verb
tense, I have to object to that.

932
01:10:03.800 --> 01:10:09.000
I still am a professor at the
United States Nagle Academy, but that's

933
01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:15.640
related to the problems. I've been
there since nineteen eighty seven, and I

934
01:10:15.720 --> 01:10:21.359
started writing about these problems probably twenty
years ago, and the administration didn't like

935
01:10:21.479 --> 01:10:28.720
that a bit, and so they
punished me in an increasing scale of slaps.

936
01:10:28.880 --> 01:10:30.600
They weren't just slaps on the wrist. They were things like letters of

937
01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:36.680
reprimand official letters of reprimand loss of
pay raise investigations that were cooked up in

938
01:10:36.840 --> 01:10:42.159
order to make my life hell.
And they finally threw their pail mary and

939
01:10:42.359 --> 01:10:47.439
fired me in twenty eighteen with no
justification whatsoever. That stood up in court

940
01:10:47.640 --> 01:10:51.720
because when the judge got his hands
on it a year later, he reinstated

941
01:10:51.800 --> 01:10:57.680
me retroactively. So I'm still there, and yes, we have problems.

942
01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:02.720
They What I first started writing about
was what seemed to me the clearly illegal

943
01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:10.760
race based admissions policy. So we're
letting in kids not based on their being

944
01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:13.680
the best and the brightest. We've
let that one go down the stream.

945
01:11:14.600 --> 01:11:18.199
It's race. They're obsessed with that. They want non white officers. Now

946
01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:23.159
you can say that that's justified to
some degree because there are a lot of

947
01:11:23.239 --> 01:11:27.720
non white enlisted, but it be
in practical terms, what it means is

948
01:11:27.880 --> 01:11:30.640
that a guy or gal who could
have performed at a higher level at the

949
01:11:30.720 --> 01:11:36.720
Naval Academy is denied entrance and someone
who almost invariably performs at a lower level

950
01:11:38.239 --> 01:11:43.560
is given the slot. So I
thought that was illegal even under the two

951
01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:47.439
thousand sir. Right now, you
may be aware the Supreme Court has given

952
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:50.720
the Service Academies a pass on that, so all of a sudden, they're

953
01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:54.279
in clover all of a sudden,
they can do it there. So that's

954
01:11:54.319 --> 01:11:59.600
problem number one. And you know
how I feel about it is one thing.

955
01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:02.039
I mean, I had just come
My PhD is from Vanderbilt, not

956
01:12:02.119 --> 01:12:05.840
too far from where you're sitting right
now, in nineteen eighty two, and

957
01:12:05.960 --> 01:12:09.800
I was a Fulbright scholar in West
Berlin. I talked for two years in

958
01:12:09.840 --> 01:12:14.000
West Germany. But I came to
Annapolis after two years in the Central African

959
01:12:14.039 --> 01:12:16.439
country of Rwanda, which you've heard
of because that's where they started killing each

960
01:12:16.439 --> 01:12:20.640
other after I left, thank goodness. So everybody's black in Rwanda, so

961
01:12:20.960 --> 01:12:25.920
race does not play a role.
So here I get on the emissions spoort

962
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:30.079
at the Naval Academy and we're purposely
selecting according to race. That's racist.

963
01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:34.600
So I objected to it, and
I wrote about it, and the administration

964
01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:38.840
didn't like that a bit, so
they started slapping me around. Point Number

965
01:12:38.880 --> 01:12:45.359
two was they're picking up the vibes
from the world outside and they're taking marching

966
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:53.159
orders from Congress, and Congress says, you will, you will put into

967
01:12:53.199 --> 01:13:00.199
play the Obama era understanding of what
constitutes sexual assault and sexual harassment, which

968
01:13:00.279 --> 01:13:01.960
is to a very low bar.
Indeed, I won't go into chapter and

969
01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:04.720
verse on how that works out,
but that's gist. Of it was that

970
01:13:04.840 --> 01:13:11.399
the men were set against the women
and all the in the first instance instance

971
01:13:11.479 --> 01:13:16.920
with the racial admissions, most many
of the black kids objected because they said,

972
01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:19.239
look, this makes us look bad, and you know, I hate

973
01:13:19.319 --> 01:13:24.800
being one. One woman sat in
my office and said she hated she They

974
01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:28.399
were trying to make her join the
gospel choir and she she said, I

975
01:13:28.399 --> 01:13:31.039
should have gone to Howard, which
is the black university, the preeminent black

976
01:13:31.119 --> 01:13:34.199
university in Washington. Said why should
you have gone to Howard, she said,

977
01:13:34.239 --> 01:13:36.920
because here they want me to be
black. They want me to be

978
01:13:38.159 --> 01:13:41.720
in the gospel choir. And she
says, I can't sing. So that

979
01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:45.960
was point number one. Point number
two the sexual assault thing, Yeah,

980
01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:50.119
the sexual assault thing is it said, you know the guy has First of

981
01:13:50.119 --> 01:13:54.000
all, let me be clear,
they're not supposed to even be holding hands

982
01:13:54.439 --> 01:13:59.079
on our in what was called the
yard because it's a military installation. But

983
01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:02.359
of course they're more than holding hands. We're about forty percent women now outgays

984
01:14:02.359 --> 01:14:06.920
are permitted, even transexuals are permitted, so of course they're fooling around with

985
01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:11.000
each other. They're eighteen to twenty
one or twenty two. They're full of

986
01:14:11.079 --> 01:14:15.079
hormones and they're messing around. I
mean, that's what happens on every college

987
01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:20.079
campus, only it's forbidden at Annapolis. So under pressure from Congress, the

988
01:14:20.159 --> 01:14:26.319
academies wanted, they actually wanted complaints
of sexual assault to show that they were

989
01:14:26.359 --> 01:14:30.560
playing the game. So a guy
has what he thinks is a consensual relationship

990
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:34.640
with a girl, and she's encouraged
months after the fact, sometimes even months,

991
01:14:35.159 --> 01:14:38.640
to say, oh no, well
she wasn't actually on board, but

992
01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:42.560
that she was pressured and so on. I saw that happen with my students.

993
01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:45.000
It sets the men against the women. The third thing is our newest

994
01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:51.399
instantiation of outside forces, which is
what they call DEEI Diversity, equity and

995
01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:57.239
inclusion. And it means hiring people, hiring people because they're not straight,

996
01:14:57.439 --> 01:15:01.920
hiring people because they're not and teaching
classes and all those things. So we

997
01:15:02.079 --> 01:15:08.720
now have you know, the whiplash
at the service academies is amazing. First

998
01:15:08.760 --> 01:15:11.199
they said, you know, no
women, no, no way. Okay.

999
01:15:11.279 --> 01:15:15.399
In nineteen seventy six they got women, they treated them badly for a

1000
01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:17.920
while, they said no no gay, no gay people in the services,

1001
01:15:18.279 --> 01:15:20.760
and you know, and then all
of a sudden. Okay, you know,

1002
01:15:20.960 --> 01:15:25.960
we're gonna have gays. We have
an LGBT plus club, we have

1003
01:15:26.119 --> 01:15:30.079
courses in that. I do not
have a problem with that. But it's

1004
01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:35.319
the problem is that in the service
academies, all this stuff, which of

1005
01:15:35.359 --> 01:15:40.159
course are happening, the stuff that
the same stuff that's happening at civilian universities

1006
01:15:40.640 --> 01:15:45.000
is imposed by the power of the
UCMJ, the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

1007
01:15:46.119 --> 01:15:51.960
So that means that the men can
be court martialed if the woman makes

1008
01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:57.840
the complaint. Invariably, when it
gets to a real court, the Annapolis

1009
01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:00.319
loses, but they're going to go
with it. They're going to go with

1010
01:16:00.399 --> 01:16:04.199
it. Professor, Let's break this
down a little bit. Because the US

1011
01:16:04.199 --> 01:16:10.640
Supreme Court did rule in the Affirmative
Action case for special purposes the military is

1012
01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:14.000
not covered by this. But you're
saying, and you're on the ground,

1013
01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:17.760
you're there, you know what's happening
at Annapolis and the other service academies that

1014
01:16:18.119 --> 01:16:26.479
race based admissions is inculcated within the
fabric of Annapolis. That is, there'll

1015
01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:29.760
be Asian kids, there may be
Jewish kids, there may be white kids

1016
01:16:30.239 --> 01:16:33.960
that are better qualified, better grades, whatever it might be and they are

1017
01:16:34.520 --> 01:16:40.760
victims of race discrimination based upon the
color of their skin. And because of

1018
01:16:40.840 --> 01:16:44.319
that Supreme Court decision a few months
ago, that's not going to change anytime

1019
01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:47.520
soon. And you make the point
in your books saving our Service Academies,

1020
01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:51.840
why has in the US won a
war since World War II? Well,

1021
01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:57.640
in the Service academies, you have
black cadets saying and now wait a minute,

1022
01:16:58.399 --> 01:17:00.960
I feel as if I'm here because
of the color of my skin.

1023
01:17:00.039 --> 01:17:03.680
You put black against white, straight
against gay, men against women, and

1024
01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:12.439
military preparedness certainly is affected. And
so we now know why we have terrible

1025
01:17:12.479 --> 01:17:14.439
and one other point, and I
want to get back to you on the

1026
01:17:14.520 --> 01:17:17.840
sex scandal. I can recall fifteen
or twenty years ago when Colin Powell as

1027
01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:21.880
was in charge, and Colon Powell, Secretary of State, came up through

1028
01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:29.600
the ranks and said the US military
is the most meritocracy based institution in the

1029
01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:32.720
country, that it's all based upon
merit going back fifteen or twenty years.

1030
01:17:32.960 --> 01:17:38.159
He began in the service in the
nineteen seventies and he's now moved on,

1031
01:17:38.439 --> 01:17:43.479
passed on. But nonetheless, what
is the consequence, Professor Bruce Fleming,

1032
01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:50.000
what is the result of di will
almost like cancer cells infecting our service academies

1033
01:17:50.199 --> 01:17:55.960
in a practical way. What are
the real impacts, Well, the real

1034
01:17:56.039 --> 01:18:00.479
impact I think you've already sketched.
Let me before I build on what on

1035
01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:04.399
that point, let me just say
Asian kids. Now, they decided you

1036
01:18:04.479 --> 01:18:10.039
were talking about Asians being denied.
That was the Harvard case. Interestingly enough,

1037
01:18:10.199 --> 01:18:15.520
at Annapolis they decided, subsequent to
my being on the admissions board that

1038
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:19.720
Asians were also a minority they were
after. So they are only about five

1039
01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:25.039
six percent Asians, and that includes
Indians, that includes Filipinos. There are

1040
01:18:25.079 --> 01:18:29.000
a lot of Filipinos in the American
Navy, and those are kept classes Asians.

1041
01:18:29.439 --> 01:18:32.359
Anyway, it's about five percent in
the Navy. But they decided they

1042
01:18:32.399 --> 01:18:35.520
were going to go after Asian kids. So we have a lot of recent

1043
01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:41.199
Chinese immigrants. They're citizens. Everybody
has to be a citizen. Sometimes they're

1044
01:18:41.199 --> 01:18:44.359
English is not so good. Remember
I'm an English professor, so I'm very

1045
01:18:44.399 --> 01:18:49.119
aware of that. So Asians.
We actually go after Asians in a positive

1046
01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:55.119
way. But the larger point is
what you're putting your finger on that it's

1047
01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:59.279
not just the service academies, it's
the military as a whole. Colon Powell,

1048
01:18:59.359 --> 01:19:04.479
you recall, was an ROTC product. So what people don't know is

1049
01:19:04.560 --> 01:19:10.079
that fewer than one in five officers
comes from the service academies these days.

1050
01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:15.159
That's not the case when that was
not the case when Roger Stalbach came through,

1051
01:19:15.680 --> 01:19:18.439
So it was not the case up
until World War Two. So in

1052
01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:25.039
a sense, they've become much less
relevant to our commissioning sources. At that's

1053
01:19:25.119 --> 01:19:30.079
point number one. They also cost
the taxpayers who are completely funding these places

1054
01:19:30.640 --> 01:19:33.880
a bundle about half a million dollars
per kids. So the service academy is

1055
01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:39.000
taken together, cost about, according
to the figures that I've seen, about

1056
01:19:39.079 --> 01:19:43.239
two and a half billion dollars a
year. Now that's less than an aircraft

1057
01:19:43.319 --> 01:19:45.319
carrier. But the aircraft carrier is
going to stay around for a few years.

1058
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:54.560
So taxpayers are funding these places for
what they It just produces bad feelings

1059
01:19:54.640 --> 01:19:57.359
on the part of the students.
They all, I mean, I thought

1060
01:19:57.479 --> 01:20:00.800
between three and four thousand students.
A lot them come to my office and

1061
01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:03.600
you know, ostensibly they want to
talk about their bad papers, So we

1062
01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:09.560
talk about their bad paper and then
they open up and they're so disillusioned I

1063
01:20:09.640 --> 01:20:14.680
mean, you can't. You have
no idea just how negative these places are

1064
01:20:14.920 --> 01:20:18.000
for the students. But of course
that's not what the administration projects to the

1065
01:20:18.079 --> 01:20:23.560
outside world. No, let me
share with the American people a couple of

1066
01:20:23.600 --> 01:20:27.560
your sentences, which I think explains
it. You say, the US's military

1067
01:20:27.600 --> 01:20:33.439
academies preach morality but exhibit none,
and scandals abound, from constant cheating scandals

1068
01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:41.079
among midshipmen to constant underage drinking,
raunchy sex in the dormitories. You examine

1069
01:20:41.079 --> 01:20:44.760
the lack of morality and the service
academies, duty, honor, and country.

1070
01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:47.239
I can recall and I play it
now. And then nineteen sixty four,

1071
01:20:47.319 --> 01:20:53.239
the Damon Thayer Award was given to
General Douglas MacArthur, Duty, honor,

1072
01:20:53.439 --> 01:20:57.439
and country. I don't care if
our military is completely black, completely

1073
01:20:57.520 --> 01:21:00.880
white, completely Filipino, completely Indian. I don't care. What I care

1074
01:21:01.359 --> 01:21:05.920
is have a service academy producing the
leaders to kill the nation's enemies and break

1075
01:21:06.000 --> 01:21:11.119
things up. That's why they're there. It is not a welcome wagon socially.

1076
01:21:11.439 --> 01:21:14.960
And so in the thirty some years, I guess, my gosh,

1077
01:21:15.039 --> 01:21:19.640
you got like thirty six years into
this deal. How has the academy changed

1078
01:21:19.680 --> 01:21:26.720
at Annapolis From the time you started
until today, all of these all of

1079
01:21:26.760 --> 01:21:30.039
these things have gotten worse, and
they've gotten worse because the relevance of the

1080
01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:33.640
academies. I mean, you're invoking
the glory days, and nobody respects that

1081
01:21:33.800 --> 01:21:38.720
more than me. I mean,
my heart goes thump thump when when I

1082
01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:42.319
think about that. Of course,
free women and so on, they had

1083
01:21:42.359 --> 01:21:46.039
it. They had their negative had
its negative sides as well, but those

1084
01:21:46.119 --> 01:21:51.119
were the glory days of the academies. And then they've become irrelevant, partly

1085
01:21:51.159 --> 01:21:56.600
for reasons I'm talking about before,
they just produced a much smaller percentage of

1086
01:21:56.680 --> 01:22:00.960
the officers and there's no there's by
no metch are they any better, And

1087
01:22:01.079 --> 01:22:04.159
you don't want them to be better
because eighty two percent of the officers come

1088
01:22:04.199 --> 01:22:08.680
from somewhere else, and you want
all the naval officers to be good.

1089
01:22:09.119 --> 01:22:14.239
So it's these three things that I
say the culture wars have landed in the

1090
01:22:14.319 --> 01:22:19.560
service academies precisely because they've become less
relevant. And that's that's that they're all

1091
01:22:19.600 --> 01:22:25.359
about. Show. I say that
they're the vanity projects of the military brass

1092
01:22:25.960 --> 01:22:28.840
and that's why they wanted to shut
me down. I mean, this the

1093
01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:31.560
book is my it's partly a memoir, you know, it's my experience there.

1094
01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:35.439
But I'm just you know, i'd
say the Canary and the coal mine.

1095
01:22:35.720 --> 01:22:43.159
If they shut down the fact based
objections to what they're doing inside of

1096
01:22:43.199 --> 01:22:46.760
their own ranks, that's me as
a tenured professor. What are I know?

1097
01:22:46.920 --> 01:22:48.720
I mean, I'm gonna say,
I'm going to put this as a

1098
01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:51.680
question, but I know the answer. The question is what are they doing

1099
01:22:51.880 --> 01:22:56.039
in the real service. And I
know the answer because I talk to former

1100
01:22:56.079 --> 01:23:03.119
students. They get people disastrous social
engineering that is happening in the fleet is

1101
01:23:03.399 --> 01:23:06.399
you can't object to it. If
you're a junior officer, you have to

1102
01:23:06.479 --> 01:23:12.000
please the person who's one level above
you, and of course the enlisted can't

1103
01:23:12.079 --> 01:23:15.800
complain at all. Basically, it's
a culture that's you know that, it's

1104
01:23:16.079 --> 01:23:19.279
the culture awards, that the three
things that I mentioned that have changed the

1105
01:23:19.399 --> 01:23:24.800
academies, but it's also their position
in the world. And the result is

1106
01:23:25.920 --> 01:23:29.159
what we're talking about. We can't, we can't, we shouldn't be in

1107
01:23:29.279 --> 01:23:32.119
some of these places. Of course, it's the civilian. It's the civilians

1108
01:23:32.159 --> 01:23:35.439
who send the military. But the
military can talk back, and they're just

1109
01:23:35.560 --> 01:23:41.479
not doing it. So it's a
culture of pleasing your commanding officer, and

1110
01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:45.479
if not, the commanding officer has
a four sided fit, and the academy

1111
01:23:45.560 --> 01:23:49.000
had a ten sided fit with me
and continue to have. So that's what

1112
01:23:49.119 --> 01:23:53.520
I want change, and that's what's
going to have to change. That one's

1113
01:23:53.560 --> 01:23:56.079
a big order, so I'm not
sure how that's going to happen. It's

1114
01:23:56.119 --> 01:24:00.039
more rationality, it's more talking,
it's more respectful descent. All of mine

1115
01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:03.479
was respectful. It was articles written
in the Washington Post, for example,

1116
01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:09.840
the Christian Science Monitor, for the
Federalists and so on, so you know,

1117
01:24:10.079 --> 01:24:14.199
they ought to have been listening to
me. This is my personal beef,

1118
01:24:14.359 --> 01:24:17.640
obviously, and it was what's so
frustrating. But you know, in

1119
01:24:17.760 --> 01:24:24.000
the fleet, my equivalent is some
grizzled old and listed guy, some marine

1120
01:24:24.079 --> 01:24:27.359
who's been a you know, some
forward based for age. As he knows

1121
01:24:27.399 --> 01:24:30.640
what's going on, and if he
thinks that this is a bad idea,

1122
01:24:30.920 --> 01:24:33.159
damn it, listen to him.
And that's just what we're not doing.

1123
01:24:33.479 --> 01:24:38.359
That's just what we're not doing.
Professor Bruce Fleming to me, you're a

1124
01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:42.399
profile and courage. You remind me
of the ethic and the duty, honor

1125
01:24:42.479 --> 01:24:46.439
and country of people like Douglas MacArthur
and individuals like that. You're not afraid

1126
01:24:46.479 --> 01:24:50.079
to speak up. And at this
point, God bless you, the book

1127
01:24:50.199 --> 01:24:56.760
is saving our service academies. It's
everywhere. And Professor, once again,

1128
01:24:57.800 --> 01:25:02.439
the ethos of the thinks of someone
like Roger Staubach. It doesn't exist so

1129
01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:06.079
much anymore, it is said,
but it's got to change. DEI is

1130
01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:12.359
a cancer and it spreads its seals
all over for political purposes. It should

1131
01:25:12.359 --> 01:25:16.319
be based upon merit and not sex
or not gender or not race. It

1132
01:25:16.399 --> 01:25:19.840
should be based upon merit. And
the professor, we got to run.

1133
01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:24.920
I'm gonna I'm gonna keep this and
maybe in six months or so I'll give

1134
01:25:24.920 --> 01:25:29.359
you another call to see if any
anything changed. And Professor Fleming, Bruce

1135
01:25:29.439 --> 01:25:31.800
Fleming, once again, thank you
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

1136
01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:35.399
Thank you, Professor, Yes,
sir, thank you appreciate it. Take

1137
01:25:35.479 --> 01:25:39.439
care of keep going. God bless
you. All right, let's continue with

1138
01:25:39.560 --> 01:25:45.319
Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW.
In this week's Marketers Report, Dana Nusbaum,

1139
01:25:45.520 --> 01:25:49.520
Executive Vice President, worldwide marketing at
Warner Brothers Discovery weighs in on regional

1140
01:25:49.560 --> 01:26:03.439
audio marketing for the News of the
day. Hell, hello by to have

1141
01:26:03.560 --> 01:26:14.439
you back with us, Dan and
Bruce replacement. He is he was.

1142
01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:17.399
He the great American and you're the
average American. Now we're going to change

1143
01:26:17.479 --> 01:26:21.560
places at some point, changing our
new employee. You better meet him.

1144
01:26:21.640 --> 01:26:25.359
See you're changing the subject. No, I'm not. You can't deal with

1145
01:26:25.479 --> 01:26:29.600
the facts. I have more stories
here about Notre Dame fighting Irish basketball.

1146
01:26:29.680 --> 01:26:31.319
You said off the air you were
going to be nice to him on your

1147
01:26:31.359 --> 01:26:35.800
way on your triumphant return. I
changed my mind. Notre Dame is seven

1148
01:26:35.880 --> 01:26:40.560
years this year seven and the losing
to everybody with us, the Georgia tack

1149
01:26:40.600 --> 01:26:43.640
who's one of the better teams than
the colle the rambling wreck of Georgia Tech.

1150
01:26:43.800 --> 01:26:47.399
Yes, and then also I understand
that the only bull victory Xavier ever

1151
01:26:47.479 --> 01:26:51.680
had in football was the Sun Bowl, you might recall in nineteen forty eight.

1152
01:26:53.479 --> 01:26:58.800
Now Notre Dame is complimenting themselves and
playing in the Sun Bowl against what

1153
01:26:59.119 --> 01:27:03.079
the beavers Beavers, I'm like a
good beaver every now and then, not

1154
01:27:03.159 --> 01:27:06.039
so much anymore. That's so much
anymore, but none. Nevertheless, it

1155
01:27:06.119 --> 01:27:11.760
was a forty eight victory for yourself. Over you have something to reveal,

1156
01:27:11.840 --> 01:27:16.760
saying swift over a really really good
team in a major bowl. Well,

1157
01:27:16.960 --> 01:27:19.760
I don't know who's a I think
Xavier be to Arizona State? Am I

1158
01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:24.479
right about that? In nineteen forty
eight, you might recall, but the

1159
01:27:24.560 --> 01:27:28.439
factory made they don't have a football
team. They got ostia pathic doctors.

1160
01:27:28.680 --> 01:27:30.840
That's what they I heard you.
You're the one who screwed that up.

1161
01:27:30.840 --> 01:27:32.880
By the way, they would have
football. Now I was gonna be the

1162
01:27:32.920 --> 01:27:35.119
head coach. It's gonna be wonderful. And then over Yet, I would

1163
01:27:35.159 --> 01:27:39.760
have come on for a segment every
Friday we would preview the game. I

1164
01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:43.159
got Bob Cole, hep on speed
dial. He's looking at it because he's

1165
01:27:43.239 --> 01:27:49.239
after a rugby senior female team to
play other So there's two options he had.

1166
01:27:49.359 --> 01:27:56.159
Let's put a football team of the
most popular sport in America. Football.

1167
01:27:56.359 --> 01:28:00.800
Everyone watches men winning, young people, old people. That's one option

1168
01:28:00.920 --> 01:28:06.079
to look at or retiree women's rugby
leau senior citizen females. Rather than you're

1169
01:28:06.159 --> 01:28:12.039
considering would you watch your mother play. Would you go watch your mother play

1170
01:28:12.119 --> 01:28:15.479
Rugby? Watched my mother play?
But that's besides my point. What is

1171
01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:16.880
the point? The point is what's
the question. You have to think out?

1172
01:28:17.039 --> 01:28:20.800
What you gotta think outside the question? Outside the box. Think outside.

1173
01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:25.680
That's way outside the box, my
friend, you'd have more ambulances there

1174
01:28:25.720 --> 01:28:30.520
than people would your would SEG's mind
play? Now let's talk about something Germaine.

1175
01:28:31.039 --> 01:28:35.800
I got a tip that Bill Belichick
is the next head football coach of

1176
01:28:35.880 --> 01:28:41.520
the Dallas Cowboys. How about those
Cowboys? What do you think? I

1177
01:28:41.560 --> 01:28:44.800
don't know? Would he go to
work for Jerry? Though Jerry doesn't care

1178
01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:54.199
about winning. Jerry cares about winning. But but Karen for what happened?

1179
01:28:54.720 --> 01:28:58.520
By the way, so here here
are your If I had told you before

1180
01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:02.520
the season that the quarterbacks in the
NFC that will represent the NFC in the

1181
01:29:02.920 --> 01:29:08.880
divisional round would be Jordan Love,
Bron Party, Jared Goff, and Baker

1182
01:29:08.960 --> 01:29:12.479
Mayfield, would you believe me?
No? No, you'd say Dak Prescott,

1183
01:29:12.720 --> 01:29:16.079
Jalen Something wrong with Baker Mayfield.
That's a lock Brock party. Jared

1184
01:29:16.119 --> 01:29:19.399
Goff and Baker Mayfield are your quarterbacks
out of the NFC? How about that.

1185
01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:24.279
I'm becoming a fan of the Buffalo
Bills. I am too. I

1186
01:29:24.520 --> 01:29:29.399
like them tough. You take the
Bills in the Bengals, what's their collective

1187
01:29:29.439 --> 01:29:33.520
record in the Super Bowl? Zero
and seven? They one of these teams

1188
01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:38.199
need to win something and they got
the Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swift.

1189
01:29:38.479 --> 01:29:40.840
Yeah, we can't root for them, so we gotta we gotta root for

1190
01:29:40.880 --> 01:29:45.880
the Bills. According to media accounts, Jason is retiring from the from the

1191
01:29:46.840 --> 01:29:53.239
and basically, would you date Travis
Well, would you date Taylor Swift?

1192
01:29:53.279 --> 01:29:57.119
I mean, think about the Eagles, though they win a Super Bowl with

1193
01:29:57.239 --> 01:30:00.279
Doug Peterson, they win a Super
Bowl, Doug Yerson, fire him after

1194
01:30:00.359 --> 01:30:04.239
the next season, then go back
to higher Nick Sirian and go back to

1195
01:30:04.239 --> 01:30:09.720
the Super in last year, right
right, and he's getting ready to be

1196
01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:13.520
fun. They were ten and one
the first of December. If somebody had

1197
01:30:13.560 --> 01:30:16.239
told you the first week in December
that the Philadelphia Eagles, it would be

1198
01:30:16.279 --> 01:30:23.039
beaten by the whole month. Everybody. The Buccaneers years baker, by the

1199
01:30:23.079 --> 01:30:27.800
way, had they caught, it
would have been more ugly, It could

1200
01:30:27.800 --> 01:30:32.319
have been worse. How's that possible? Which is probably why they're gonna You

1201
01:30:32.399 --> 01:30:35.760
know, you got the quarterback solved. That's the hardest thing to get to

1202
01:30:36.239 --> 01:30:40.520
nail in all of sports. They
got that nailed. They just don't have

1203
01:30:40.640 --> 01:30:43.439
the coach. After Shane Steike and
went and became head coach of what the

1204
01:30:43.680 --> 01:30:48.439
Colts and all the magic was gone. Coach Taylor Swift is going to be

1205
01:30:48.479 --> 01:30:55.479
in Buffalo? Will she be applauded
or booed? Mercilessly boo? What if

1206
01:30:55.520 --> 01:31:01.439
she go to Buffalo? Maia will
go cuckup Travis Kelsey's worth according to the

1207
01:31:01.479 --> 01:31:08.000
Internet number one hundred and fifty million. Taylor Swift? What's a prenup if

1208
01:31:08.039 --> 01:31:12.079
they get married? So she can
protect her assets against the guy worth a

1209
01:31:12.159 --> 01:31:15.640
hundred seems fair? That seems fair
to me. We done with what you

1210
01:31:15.760 --> 01:31:17.079
come with. I come with what
I come with, and while we're together

1211
01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:19.720
we can share other than that.
That's it. I need a prenup if

1212
01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:21.800
you don't mind, Yeah, one
hundred and fifty mili. I need a

1213
01:31:21.840 --> 01:31:25.720
prenup. What do you think are
they getting married? Would you go to

1214
01:31:25.800 --> 01:31:30.079
the ceremony which is not I mean, come on, ceremony. What does

1215
01:31:30.319 --> 01:31:33.600
Scott Sloan say about Taylor Swift,
what does he say? I don't know,

1216
01:31:33.840 --> 01:31:39.600
not good. Tell about the parking
lot at the end, Sloan,

1217
01:31:39.680 --> 01:31:43.119
he said, I think his brother
or something whenever lives up there, or

1218
01:31:43.199 --> 01:31:47.439
somebody he knows was was staying at
a hotel there. It took them an

1219
01:31:47.520 --> 01:31:51.800
hour and a half to find their
car in the motel parking lot. It

1220
01:31:51.920 --> 01:31:55.399
was very so much snow. It
was four feet of snow. They couldn't

1221
01:31:55.399 --> 01:31:58.000
identify the car, They couldn't get
the car. They had to find.

1222
01:31:58.039 --> 01:32:00.920
They were digging out all of a
sudden hour and a half later, Oh

1223
01:32:00.960 --> 01:32:05.000
there's our car. And then then
you got a damn thank you. And

1224
01:32:05.079 --> 01:32:10.600
what's happening today and tomorrow in Buffalo? Thirty seven inches of snow? Why

1225
01:32:10.640 --> 01:32:14.439
would you live there? By choice? We Scott Sloan left as soon as

1226
01:32:14.479 --> 01:32:19.039
he could imagine living in Buffalo.
The whole town just smells. You got

1227
01:32:19.119 --> 01:32:23.159
like a like two weeks of summer
and then that's it. Fourth of July

1228
01:32:23.279 --> 01:32:27.720
weekend. They get ready for winter, right, I mean a lot and

1229
01:32:27.800 --> 01:32:30.760
people live there. Do you want
the Bills to win? Is that your

1230
01:32:30.840 --> 01:32:35.600
team right now? Yes? The
Bills? Yes, beat Taylor Swift.

1231
01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:41.880
I think you gotta beat Baltimore and
then a Bills lie in the super Bowl.

1232
01:32:41.920 --> 01:32:45.039
That'd be fun. Now the network
exacts what not like the super Bowl?

1233
01:32:45.159 --> 01:32:46.720
But right I would find it.
I'd be happy for both those.

1234
01:32:47.439 --> 01:32:50.359
Dan Campbell, how can you out
like him? Would you play for him?

1235
01:32:50.560 --> 01:32:55.880
Absolutely? How about the two worst
cities in America Detroit and Buffalo?

1236
01:32:56.399 --> 01:33:00.199
They're in the Super Bowl? What
what? What? I don't know about

1237
01:33:00.239 --> 01:33:06.600
that? Well, Houston? What
about and then you can't throw out anymore?

1238
01:33:08.199 --> 01:33:13.880
Pretty good? What about Baker Well, he's quarterbacks knowing that could play

1239
01:33:14.000 --> 01:33:15.680
at all. I want to ask
you a question before we go to say.

1240
01:33:16.279 --> 01:33:21.000
I was concentating of this over the
weekend. Do we have the Heisman

1241
01:33:21.079 --> 01:33:29.800
Trophy winners? And so I'm thinking
about what happened with Carson Palmer, Fair

1242
01:33:29.840 --> 01:33:34.000
Heald, Guy Iceman Trophy national title, comes here, blows out his knee,

1243
01:33:34.079 --> 01:33:38.920
done, demands a trade, and
leaves well. Joe Burrow demanded trade

1244
01:33:38.960 --> 01:33:43.600
within two years, been here four
years. Appendix goes, it's not food,

1245
01:33:44.000 --> 01:33:48.159
knee, wrist, calf what's next? And I'm worried about him being

1246
01:33:48.279 --> 01:33:54.039
injury prone despite the fact he cares, he does the right ask what he

1247
01:33:54.199 --> 01:34:00.319
leaves the Bengals send him packing because
because now that would be option he's but

1248
01:34:00.399 --> 01:34:04.479
for him to just leave, and
because he's up with Cincinnati. I don't

1249
01:34:04.560 --> 01:34:08.520
understand what that. I mean,
you're comparing him to what Carson Palmer did.

1250
01:34:09.199 --> 01:34:13.159
I can't see that. I think
Joe Joe Burrow is. Besides,

1251
01:34:13.279 --> 01:34:15.600
you know, Pete Rose when I
was real young, I think he's the

1252
01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:19.359
most popular pro athlete in the city
of Cincinnati that I've that I've ever seen

1253
01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:24.720
beside Pete Rose. He rose.
And but now that now that has a

1254
01:34:24.800 --> 01:34:27.479
shelf life, and he comes out
next year and he's hurt again, then

1255
01:34:28.079 --> 01:34:30.880
the Natives are going to turn a
little bit. The natives are restless,

1256
01:34:31.119 --> 01:34:34.199
wrestless right now? We are?
Are you restless? Well? I think

1257
01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:40.560
as long as Jake the Snake's girlfriend
appears on the telecast with that white suit

1258
01:34:40.640 --> 01:34:43.119
on, I think everyone will be
okay. Did you see that? I

1259
01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:45.479
I only had to research it,
certainly for you know, for the show.

1260
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:49.039
I didn't want to research this,
you know, young woman in a

1261
01:34:49.319 --> 01:34:54.199
white leotard. I didn't want to
look a side shot. That's all I

1262
01:34:54.239 --> 01:34:57.640
have. I'm gonna wear one of
those at the next tailgate. Next year

1263
01:34:57.680 --> 01:35:00.239
at the opening game. Please don't
you'd look like a Mellen with a rubber

1264
01:35:00.279 --> 01:35:03.880
band around him. Okay, well, I'm just saying I'm gonna wear that

1265
01:35:04.000 --> 01:35:08.520
onesie. I thought she looked pretty
good. But what do I I only

1266
01:35:08.560 --> 01:35:11.840
had a sideway shot. You probably
know it personally, but I don't.

1267
01:35:12.399 --> 01:35:15.039
I don't. I don't think you'd
like to, seg Man, give me

1268
01:35:15.119 --> 01:35:17.760
some sports. Well on your triumphant

Brown's head Nick Saban and fired him,

1273
01:35:40.840 --> 01:35:46.720
Bill Belichick and fired him. Baker
may Mayfield released him for Deshaun Watson.

1274
01:35:47.159 --> 01:35:54.520
Who are they looking now, seg
Let's see Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan,

1275
01:35:54.960 --> 01:35:58.680
you know, finished his interview today
with the Los Angeles Chargers. He's

1276
01:35:58.760 --> 01:36:01.199
due to meet with the Carolina Anthers
on Thursday. If you're Belichick, do

1277
01:36:01.239 --> 01:36:06.840
you take the Chargers, Cowboys,
Falcons or the Commanders? I call them.

1278
01:36:08.680 --> 01:36:11.159
Wait to see if the Eels job
comes op and you take that one.

1279
01:36:11.319 --> 01:36:14.800
Ooh oh, are you thinking my
field? Chat ten and one in

1280
01:36:14.880 --> 01:36:17.680
December and you're gonna fire the head
coach? Yeah? Ahi please. They

1281
01:36:17.680 --> 01:36:19.720
have a history of DONA. I
just laid it out a little bit.

1282
01:36:19.800 --> 01:36:23.920
Looking Mike McCarthy's been twelve and five? What for three years in a rowld

1283
01:36:23.920 --> 01:36:25.880
in a row, thirty six wins? Who would want that? In the

1284
01:36:26.000 --> 01:36:29.399
NFL? The only team in the
history NFL who's gone three years in a

1285
01:36:29.439 --> 01:36:31.199
row, twelve and five. We're
not getting to a conference championship game,

1286
01:36:31.319 --> 01:36:35.640
right Mike McCarthy looks like he needs
a little a little more solid seg.

1287
01:36:36.960 --> 01:36:41.800
Let's see also a big night at
college basketball Willie Big twelve battle right there

1288
01:36:41.840 --> 01:36:45.520
in Clifton, number nineteen TCU and
the Bearcats tonight at six thirty right here

1289
01:36:45.560 --> 01:36:53.119
on seven hundred WLW Baker Mayfield Reign
Supreme Big Tonight in Centas Center. The

1290
01:36:53.199 --> 01:36:57.960
Butler Bulldogs are in town to take
on Xavier at six on fifty five KRC

1291
01:36:58.680 --> 01:37:02.279
the home of Dale Donovan, Saint
Louis and number twenty one Dayton Bowling Bowling

1292
01:37:02.359 --> 01:37:08.560
Green in Miami, and number two
Perdue faces Indianna Rocky. What's a billy

1293
01:37:08.600 --> 01:37:14.359
can Bird? Flightless bird? Red's
with a trade today, Willie? They

1294
01:37:14.479 --> 01:37:18.680
relieve reliever Daniel Duarte goes to the
world champion Texas Rangers for cash. Give

1295
01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:24.920
me a Billy. Duarte was DFA
when the Red signed Moler Zone Brett Suiter

1296
01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:28.840
a couple of days ago. Do
you know that guy just for Brettsuter?

1297
01:37:29.079 --> 01:37:31.239
No? The other guy, Billaniel
Duarte? You know him? No?

1298
01:37:31.760 --> 01:37:34.199
Never heard of him? Yeah,
I heard him. He's a real he

1299
01:37:34.720 --> 01:37:40.079
Red's reliever last year. He seems
like a brand of salsa. Let you

1300
01:37:40.119 --> 01:37:44.680
pay attention, must be too much
son. Did he play Red's reliever?

1301
01:37:44.880 --> 01:37:50.560
Yeah, yeah, he's a Red's
reliever last year? Roniel Duarte, he

1302
01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:55.319
was. He was the ninety five
guys in the bullpen last year, but

1303
01:37:55.439 --> 01:37:59.680
they won eighty two and eighty.
See what happens. I think the over

1304
01:37:59.800 --> 01:38:01.960
under this year is eighty three and
a half. Like over or under eighty

1305
01:38:02.000 --> 01:38:06.520
three and a half? Reds go
over, say over under. I look

1306
01:38:06.600 --> 01:38:11.479
for disasters everywhere. By the way, something else to bring up here.

1307
01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:15.640
You guys are seeing show Yellowstone?
Have I seen Yellowstone? And the John

1308
01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:18.159
Dutton Ranch. I live in the
Drake. So so the story essentially is

1309
01:38:18.239 --> 01:38:25.720
about you know, nativist Montanas who
wanted to keep the culture of Montana the

1310
01:38:25.840 --> 01:38:30.800
way it is, peaceful, nice, wide open spaces versus outsiders that come

1311
01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:32.720
in and try to turn it into
Disneyland, Ryan turn you know, pack

1312
01:38:32.800 --> 01:38:36.479
it in. Well. This is
very emblematic of what is happening in many

1313
01:38:36.520 --> 01:38:42.319
other places in the country. And
even Harrison, Ohio Wildcat trying to bring

1314
01:38:42.399 --> 01:38:45.600
a development pack about two hundred and
forty homes into some really tight space right

1315
01:38:45.640 --> 01:38:49.479
on the doorstep of Harrison. There's
a public meeting tonight. Are you going

1316
01:38:49.560 --> 01:38:54.199
to go? I have prepared remarks? Are you going? Why are your

1317
01:38:54.680 --> 01:39:00.359
remarks? And and we're asking folks
to pack the house. There's Harrison wants

1318
01:39:00.359 --> 01:39:02.520
to be developed. I wanted to
be developed. But it's got to be

1319
01:39:02.600 --> 01:39:06.119
done the right way. The roads, the infrastructure to schools can't handle it.

1320
01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:10.279
Got to vote it down. We
can vote officials, vote it down.

1321
01:39:10.399 --> 01:39:13.000
You say, voted down it down? Tell them the great Americans said

1322
01:39:13.079 --> 01:39:15.439
no. And Segment today is Montgomery
and All you Can Eat. Segment is

so. I'll be going a week from

1331
