Bill Cunningham, the great American first pitch another about seven to ten Dodgers in
town with o'conne, and I think the game is close to a selloup.
But nonetheless, the Reds have won four games in the month of May,
and that's not a good thing heading into a Memorial Day weekend. And of
course we coverage begins right here about six o'clock and more. But until then,
Leland Vindard of News Nation, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And Leland, there's so many things going on, it's hard to pick what
to discuss. But one thing that has happened is that politically, Nicki Haley
a couple of days ago came out and said, you know what, given
the choices, it appears that I'll be supporting Donald Trump. And the rally
in the Bronx was really unbelievable. The rally in New Jersey ten days ago
was unbelievable. And the embarrassment that I feel when President Joe Biden holds an
impromptu news conference with the president of Kenya, I kind of watch for something
bad to occur. But Leyland Vindt many said during the primary that there's no
way that Nicky Haley can reverse course and endorse Donald Trump. He called her
a bird brain and a bird cage, should never have hired her as you
in, ambassador, and went on and on and on, which is typical
in politics. But kind of what your read on Nicky Haley coming on the
Trump train. Does that mean she's the next VP? What do you think?
I don't know if it means that, but it means that she wants
that possibility. I think you know, there was a Churchill who said anyone
can rat that it takes pinash or a certain amount of ingenuity to rerat.
So I guess that would be Nicky Haley needing a little bit of panash to
reat. And she's doing it right. I mean, you can imagine a
scenario where the Trump camp, who is pragmatic when it comes to their VP
picks, at least if we want to look back at twenty sixteen, very
pragmatic, They realize that where they're weak is is with moderate Republicans and with
Nicky Haley voters for obvious reasons, and her being the vice president would solve
that. And I can't imagine a die hard member of the Trump world saying,
well, I'm not going to vote for him now because of Nicky Haley.
That seems sort of far fetched. I know people say it on Twitter,
but Twitter is in real life. I kind of watched a couple of
three nights ago, maybe earlier in the week about you had a segment News
Nation Leland vend about the twenty percent. It appears there's fifteen to twenty percent
of Republicans that won't vote for Trump. Then there's fifteen to twenty percent of
Democrats that won't vote for Biden. And so I'm looking at that and I'm
thinking, well, that's true whenever there's a primary, and it appears there's
a chunk of people that don't want either one of them, and the polling
indicates about seventy percent or so don't want They want a different choice, whether
it's true they don't want Trump or Biden. And I was shocked about what
about a week or ten days ago that they said two debate dates for one
June twenty seventh, and one of the pundits said, well, that's like
the last gasp of Joe Biden to demonstrate he's mentally competent. When one watched
and I'm sure you did the two question News conference. One was from April
Ryan which the President had the two questions ahead of time. You're left waiting
for something really bad to happen, and it appears he's having difficulty hearing.
It appears he can't process information, and unless something's on a teleprompter or in
front of him, he can't read. It's almost a form of elder abuse.
What's going on? Am I from the national media perspective? Am I
overstating that as far as Biden's mental competence and his abilities to discharge the job.
I'm not going to get into the deciding the mental competency of the president
of the United States. I think voters can do that on their own and
make their own conclusions based on the available evidence, which you've seen. I
don't have any dependent reporting on that. What I can say is that it
appears as though Joe Biden's campaign is going to be mostly online and on air.
It is not going to be barnstorming the country in the way that Donald
Trump is. So is that something that voters can draw their own conclusion from.
Absolutely, that's just sort of the way things happen. We had a
segment last night with Corey Lewandowski the former Trump campaign manager. Can Donald Trump
manage to not screw this up? I think reasonable people can agree that if
the election were held today, Donald Trump would win. So, I mean,
I think it's reasonably you just look at the polling. If you had
to make a bag, you know, you had to put one hundred dollars
on Trump or Biden today election today, any intellectually honest person would put it
on Trump. Five. The question going forward is can Trump not screw it
up? And I think we've seen just this week. You know, the
Unified Right thing was was was not a nod to the far right. It
was somebody who didn't closely look at a video of stock footage. Fine,
forget that. But the whole assassination plot thing over the DOJ's boiler plate language
on a search warrant, it's silly for two reasons. One, it appears
silly, and I think to the to that twenty percent that you keep talking
about it, it just goes back to mean tweets and the disorder that encompassed
Donald Trump and the craziness that encompassed Donald Trump. We have a different kind
of craziness in America and disorder under Joe Biden. You don't want to make
you don't want to force people to make that choice number one and number two.
It distracts. And I don't understand this why the Trump campaign doesn't sit
around and talk to the next six months about the economy, the economy,
the economy, the economy, the economy, the economy, And that includes
the border, that includes the rise in prices, that includes how people feel
about their ability to retire. It encompasses all sorts of things, and they're
just not disciplined enough to do it. Now. The lack of discipline is
incredible. With the Biden campaign, there's a little bit more discipline, but
to run a campaign in twenty twenty four in which the presidential candidate Joe Biden,
does not campaign, doesn't hold rallies, he doesn't meet. Now they're
talking. I've read some things online about maybe Chicago and in the middle of
August being online, and that is they could pre can the acceptance speech of
Joe Biden and cut out all the bad parts and kind of piece it together.
Is it conceivable in this kind of a world that the Democrats may say,
it's going to be so ugly in Chicago, there's going to be so
many riots going on, and there's such a disorder occurring that and Joe Biden
cannot at this point proceed any more mentally alert than he has in the past.
That would they take a political hit in Chicago if they made it like
a virtual campaign and Joe Biden did not accept in person, what wouldn't that
be Wouldn't that shake things up quite a bit? I don't know, maybe
for a week. It's a long way from August to the you know from
the conventions that nobody cares about anyway, and that the networks hate to have
to cover and give up advertising dollars to do that. They've they've got it
then spend you know, this time. Uh So, I don't know.
I mean, is it going to be some big uh you know, craziness
of nineteen sixty eight? Certainly possible, you know. I think what you
pointed out rightly is you focused on the twenty percent and twenty percent. Right.
The twenty percent of people who don't like Donald Trump are are in the
middle, they're to the to the center of the Republican Party, right.
The twenty percent that don't like Joe Biden are to the far left of the
Democratic Party, and that that creates a very different dynamic, and it keeps
Joe Biden from moving to the center to attract, for lack of a better
term, Nikki Haley voter, to attract swing voters. So they're penned in.
And I think you rightly point out that the sort of civil war within
the Democratic Party, the divide within the Democratic Party, is going to be
on full display in Chicago. Now, how much the media talks about that
and is willing to focus on that and tell that story, that may be
a more important question than how much of the disorder and fracture will be on
display. And Leland vettive News Nation. At this point, we don't know
what's going to happen in the coming week next week about Tuesday's closing arguments and
then the charge of the jury. That's the wild card. And some twenty
percent of Independence say that if he's a convicted felon, we're not going to
vote for him. It's unbelievable and this thing likely will be reversed on appeal.
Watch Abrams quite a bet in others and that this is whether it's two
years or four years. But that's not the point of this thing. And
what does your crystal ball tell you about the jury deliberations. One thing that
I noticed is that you hardly ever wait a week between the well, you
just don't wait a week from the end of the evidence until you start the
closing statements and the charge of the jury, because there's no telling what jury
can screw things up. In the week there at home in New York City,
I would anticipate because of the Bronx rally and that was so well attended
and all the media, and they're told don't deal with the media, but
they do. But there's so many unknowns unknowns out there. You can know
the known, and you can maybe know the unknown, but you can unknown
the unknown. And so right now we're in the world of the unknown.
He Bill, I know this is radio. I need a whiteboard to try
to figure out the knowns and unknowns that you've gone through there. I'll answer
your question. If I had a crystal ball, I would have bought in
a video stock ten years ago. The point of the trial, and I
think this is what you're coming down to, is that it is a political
exercise, and the politics of it matter a lot more than the law.
I have a number of lawyers on TV, and I mean no disrespect to
this as you are an attorney, but ask five lawyers you'll get six opinions
and seven bills. Right, So who knows? No one knows what's going
to happen, and people can speculate about whether or not it's going to get
reversed and everything else. Fine. From a political standpoint, is there a
group of Americans who will not vote for him because suddenly they say he falsified
business records in a payoff to a woman that he allegedly had an affair with.
Those voters exist. I have not met them now, I don't know,
because the more the trial went on, the more I thought of the
beginning, Okay, this is going to be a big problem for him.
But then the news conference since before and after had been very effective. And
the trial itself, it began with a guy named David Pecker Pecker of The
Inquirer, and that was slazy as could be. Ended up with Stormy Daniels
was awful. Michael Cohen, you couldn't make this cast of characters up.
And I'm thinking, Okay, you got the porn star, you got the
cheating lion lawyer who's been in federal prison. You got David Pecker, who
got immunity, and this guy doesn't look right anyway, that ran the national
inquire. These are the characters against Donald Trump. And then on the Democratic
side you got Donald Trump is the focus of this thing, and I think
the trial kind of the political equation. I think the trial on balance at
this point has helped Donald Trump. It hasn't hurt him, and it's solidified
Republican support for him, has demonstrated by the number of so called officeholders running
in out of the courtroom with him, which I've never I guess we're blessed
to live an interesting times. One cannot conceive of a trial on the eve
of an election with a guy named Pecker and a porn star and a lion
lawyer. And I'm thinking, hell in the hell did we get to this
position? And then you put on Robert Costello, who supposedly is an imminent
criminal defense attorney, which I think he is in New York City, and
his testimony was turned on its head by the prosecution. And so you have
Costello saying under oath that basically Michael Cohne had nothing got Michael Cohen calling Costello
a liar. You got Michael Venetti coming on various cable shows kind of defending
Donald Trump. He was the lawyer for Stormy Daniels. Then you got Pecker
Pecker of the Inquiry. I mean, if somebody wrote this, somebody would
say, we can't get that. That's two fix. Can you imagine the
characters involved in this, and the average American living in Ames, Iowa's got
to be thinking, what the hell's going on around this place? It's unbelievable,
Leland. What the only better part would be if it was on TV,
like the O. J. Simpson case, we could see it ourselves
what's going on? But I think at this point Washingway now, I wish
I could see it well right, And I think it's very good for the
prosecution and very bad for Donald Trump that nobody did see it. You started
the segment talking about the Cincinnati Reds. Okay, I'm from Saint Louis.
You guys have only run four games. It's in May. I it's kind
of probably, you know, it's sort of what you guys in Cincinnati are
used to. I digress. This is what I would challenge anybody go go
print out pictures of Michael Cohen, Robert Costello and David Pecker. Okay,
don't pick out it pronoun any pictures of Stormy Daniels, but go print out
the picture of the three guys, take them down to whatever you all call
your stadium these days, and ask people who any of these guys are.
Nobody knows, nobody cares, nobody's following it. You've got a long summer,
and I think you're right. The worst thing that happened for Donald Trump
is that it wasn't on TV. Yeah, if it was on TV,
it would have been devastating for Donald Trump because the pictures of him sitting in
the courtroom for hours after hours. Oh, I disagree. I think it
would have been the best thing forever that could have happened to Donald Trump because
I think people would have heard the testimony, they would have seen how sleevy
Michael Cohen is. It would have totally changed the dynamics of everything. And
the thing about Trump, though, being in a courtroom like that is a
bad thing, but putting it live in New York State, they can do
that, but they generally don't. But they can. And because I've called
this trial Leland Venter the most important trial in the history of United States of
America, because what comes out of this thing could be the election or not
of the next president with complete executive powers, and it's such an important matter.
If it was on TV, it would, my god, it would
have an eighty share for a whole bunch of the time. And I think
I agree with you in a sense that watching these characters testify would have been
a negative thing. Look at the OJ Simpson case, which is the last
that went on for weeks of a noted person on trial, and at the
end of the day, no one thought O. J. Simpson was going
to be convicted, even though he did murder those two people. But Johnny
Cochrane was unbelievable, and Lance Edo and and Edo and that kind of stuff
was again a charade. But I guess no one could have conjured up the
trial itself and the characters involved. And whether it's going to help or hurt,
I think on balance it has helped. Well, let's see what happens
down the road. It appears. Does your crystal ball tell you there's no
more trials, There's nothing else happening in the federal cases or Atlanta, So
this is it. My crystal ball doesn't tell me that my reporting does.
Because the Supreme Court decision just just the way the time, just the way
the timing works out, it seems very very unlikely you're going to get a
trial another trial between now and the election, if you if you listen to
the Supreme Court on the immunity case, the Georgia case is a complete mess.
The document's case is also a masson seems to be delayed as well.
So lookd that was Donald Trump's legal team's plan, and it seems to be
working. It's worked because at this point the only case going to trial are
ones involving Pecker or porn star Lion Lawyer. Those are the cases. And
Donald Trump spinds it when he comes out a certain way, and people generally
taking it. And I can't imagine, I can't imagine conjuring up a more
odd circumstance to decide a national election than a dirty court room in New York
City, and by Judge Marshawn, who has been thoroughly I think, discredited
in many circles because of his rulings. I know that Alan Dershowitz and others
have gone after him real hard, but Leland Vendor continue to have a great
Memorial Day weekend, and we'll see what happens down the road. But this
coming week, after the Trump rally and the Bronx, the one in New
Jersey going to have a verdict. I guess in about a week or I
predict a verdict at the end of the I say Friday or Saturday, there'll
be a verdict. And now the hell's going to break loose. And if
he's found not guilty by that New York jury, which ought to be the
proper verdict, to use the term m Corey Lewandowski, to just don't screw
it up, to just go ahead, keep keep campaigning and don't screw it
up. Leland Vetter, thank you very much for coming on the Bill Cunningham
Show. Thank you, Leland, thank you all the back. Let's continue
with more and if a ligne becomes available, you know the routine. But
let's face it, Uh, there was every expectation by the media this would
be broadcast live, and UH that changes a trial fundamentally. And to watch
the behavior at judge Mrshawn live would have been something that would have been interesting
and illustrative because he's a hacked judge in New York City. Let's continue with
more. Bill Cunningham, the Great American with you every day at your home
of the Reds News Radio seven hundred WULW trist Ate Chevrolet Buyers, it's a
buyer's but Nanza at Mike cast Ce Chevrolet and Milford find new roads today.
Check out our outstanding selection at Mike Billy cunning into Great America. Happy Memorial
Day weekend. Let's not forget the purpose of the weekend. Coming up later
we have Eric brew Ark of Numbers USA dot com. Plus later on Brendan
Cole, who's running the Taste of Cincinnati, will be here sometime about two
o'clock to talk about how come the road closures were so profound so early.
What's the plan Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Reds Baseball with the Dodgers in
town. I've been told that most of the games are sold out, but
some tickets remain. Gonna be great, gonna be good. One thing not
to forget about is the reason we're celebrating, celebrating Memorial Day. And I
would point out that on Memorial Day itself, that Gate of Heaven Cemetery is
having their annual event. It's called the Valor Group US Military veterans, families
and friends and veterans. There's seven thousand, seven thousand veterans interred at Ganda
Heaven Cemetery and once again Aulta Fiber is donating and posting with respect and honor
seven thousand flags all over k to Heaven Cemetery and they should be up sometime
later on Saturday. But nonetheless, the event itself begins about ten thirty am
on Memorial Day itself on Monday, ten thirty am until about one thirty pm.
It's going to be very well attended. But that's the reason we have
Memorial Day is because, let's face it, there's about one million, two
hundred thousand Americans have given their lives so you and I can enjoy the freedoms
we often abuse. I ran some of the numbers which are really incredible numbers.
Number one, in the Civil War, about six hundred thousand were killed
in the Civil War, and the World War Two it was four hundred thousand.
We're up to about a million, one hundred and fifty thousand. In
World War One, had about thirty two thousand in Korea, had about fifty
eight thousand plus in Vietnam. Take the other various wars. The America has
been involved in the Mexican American War, of course, a Persian Gulf War
one, and two various other skirmishes throughout the last two hundred and thirty five
years. And the numbers about one point two million have given their life and
right now about one point two million are presently serving. And it's very difficult,
making it difficult to serve because of politics. But nonetheless I have great
respect for American soldiers, national guardsmen and others who back up what's happening to
keep our country as safe and sane as it possibly can. But if you
want to be involved in big events, check out gate of Heaven Cemetery.
And the removal process of the flags won't begin until Sunday, June the second,
but they're being placed today in tomorrow with very ceremonies. Seven thousand dead
soldiers, sailors and marines and airmen at Heaven Cemetery. There's a big event
happening ten thirty am on Monday, and everyone's welcome to a tend and many
other parades are happening all over the Dry State the nation, and it's a
wonderful thing. And so I pray we might recall that a founding father came
out of the Constitutional Convention and said, we have a democracy if we can
keep it. And right now I've had more than one. In fact,
I've had many great Americans tell me we're at risk of losing things, because,
as Ronald Reagan said, we're only one generation away from losing the Home
of the Free and the land of the brave, and many things think we're
well on that course right now because of runaway ramp and spending everywhere and trashing
the dollar, and secondly the influx the open border. The numbers are off
the charts. We're going to go over the numbers in about fifteen minutes with
Eric Ruark. But there's about fifty one million persons living right now in the
United States that we're not born here. Fifty one million. That's an all
time number. When you look at the chart they put together, it starts
at about four point seven million in nineteen seventy. Now it's over fifty million,
and it's skyrocketing. It's not stopped, it's going it's not going down,
it's going up. In fact, it's accelerating. And we can't have
a country without a border and know who's here. We have various US military
installations and bases subjected to terrorist surveillance, as what happened in Virginia. It's
happening all over the country, and we can stop it. Don't have the
will. The first thing to do is stop it at the southern border.
In other words, put your finger in the hole in the dike. Worry
about draining the swamp later. But every day, there's literally hundreds of thousands
every day that come in. And I have a great stat about a million
so called quote foreigners overstated their visas every year. That is, if a
person applies from some other country to come here in order to go to college
or maybe go to high school as a tour. It's not going down,
it's going up. In fact, it's accelerating. And we can't have a
country without a border and know who's here. We have various US military installations
and bases subjected to terrorist surveillance, as what happened in Virginia. It's happening
all over the country, and we can stop it. Don't have the will.
The first thing to do is stop it at the southern border. In
other words, put your finger in the hole in the dike. Worry about
draining the swamp later. But every day there's literally hundreds of thousands every day
that come in. And I have a great stat about a million so called
quote foreigners overstay their visas every year. That is, if a person applies
from some other country to come here in order to go to college or maybe
go to high school, as a tourist for business reasons, who didn't want
to see the Grand Canyon, who didn't want to see the Ohio River,
you apply, get a visa, you come here and don't go back,
and you're still here. No one seeks about a million a year that do
that. On top of that, we admit about a million a year legally,
more than all the other countries in the world put together. And in
the first first three and a half years of the Bide administration, we've had
ten million come into the country illegally, plus two and a half million got
aways. It's like, well, what's happening. And the fact is we
can lose this place. We don't. The fact things were great four or
five six years ago doesn't mean we can maintain that. And so the forces
that want to destroy the country and maybe make the cities and counties destabilized are
still at work and they aren't going to change. There's a destabilization process underway
as I speak, to destabilize our democracy, destabilize our constitutional republic, to
make it almost you don't want to vote anymore because things are completely out of
control and they're not getting anyway. They're not getting better. And as a
cont sequence, this Memorial Day is particularly fitting inappropriate to go back to the
origins of the country. Mainly, great things happen, a few mistakes were
made because human beings put it together. But gosh, no country tries harder
to get things right than to go to the United States of America. And
so I kind of look at Harrison, butker he's the field goal kicker for
the Chiefs. Don't care much for the guy because he's helping you defeat the
Bengals on a regular basis. When he gave his speech of Benedicting College in
Kansas, a place, by the way, I've never heard of, have
you? And what you're talking about traditional Catholic American values of a woman having
the option to stay at home. I often say to individuals, at the
end of your life, if the Good Lord gives you an opportunity to be
with friends and family at the moment of your death, and you spend time
reflecting upon events that you've done, the alcolades you've received, the people whose
lives you positively affected, the ups and downs getting your degree, the jobs
that you've had, the problems, the car break ins and other the good
stuff and the bad. Hardly anyone I know is going to say anything other
than I wish I'd spent more time privately with friends and family. That's what
I wish I would have done. And all Harrison Butker are saying that women,
because women have babies. Here's a bulletin. Men do not have babies.
People do not have babies. Women have babies, and the option is
staying at home and raising those children, hopefully properly, should be available to
a woman. And so many, especially feminists in the media, have gone
after him hard and with hooks and claws. One of them women named Michelle
Beadle, who ESPN quote, we just worked our asses off for years,
and you're telling me stay home, honey and have babies. Not really,
why don't you go? And she used the F bomb, go f yourself,
Butker quote, that's my freedom. I don't want to do that.
She went on to say that she's worked hard and at the end of the
day she'll decide she'll be the master of her own fate. Well, guess
what that's all, Harrison, Butker is saying, give a woman clearly a
good option if that's what she desires and the family desires to stay at home
with the children and raise the children properly. And or if you find yourself
in a circumstance where you can't send your kid to the public schools, get
the hell out of public schools. In good states like Ohio, will give
you a voucher to go to a private school. But she says, shut
the f up, go f the ball. I don't know what to say
the attacks on this guy first saying something rather interesting and rather placid and flaccid.
Women should have the opportunity, without condemnation of other women to stay at
home and have children. That's okay, not a bad thing. At the
end of your days, you may look back and say, I wish I
spent more time with my husband, my wife, my kids, my grandkids,
my sisters. I don't want to leave this world with grudges and people
mad at me. I apologize to individuals I've heard. That's what happens.
If someone has the time to recollect their history, they never think about I
wish I would have gotten one more college degree. I wish I would have
made more money. I wish I would have bought a late model car.
I wish I'd taken a vacation to Europe. No, you're going to regret
time not spent with your family. That's O. Harrison Butker is saying.
And that's the reason that Donald Trump's going to be elected. We can't take
it anymore. Let's continue. After one o'clock today will be Eric Ruard of
NumbersUSA dot com. After two o'clock we scheduled Brendan Cole Cull Brendan Cole,

of having Catholic Cemetery host an annual Memorial Day gathering. Bill Cunningham, the
great American, of course, first of all, that you and yours of
a glorious and wonderful Memorial Day weekend and the mainstream media. This morning,
one of the talk shows talked about how the Senate Republicans refused to accept yes
for an answer that as they had a comprehensive border security bill that once again
on Thursday, that they said no to by a wide margin, including some
Democrats. By the way, and all I hear about is the Republicans walking
away from the deal of a lifetime by having an immigration control on the southern
border. Democrats want to do something, Republicans do not want to do something.
What is the reality. Of course, Eric drew Arc has been with
Numbers USA for a long time and is the leading immigration website in the country.
If you go to Numbers USA, you'll see lots of information about what's
occurring. First of all, Eric, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And can you tell the American people the two or three worst parts of
the so called bipartisan immigration bill that most Republicans said no to. Well,
there's a lot of bad parts to this bill, but I think the worst
is it sets a floor for illegal immigration. At the present time. The
law is that zero people should be coming over. Obviously that's not the case,
but that is what's in the law. And if the law were enforced,
Board Patrol and DHS will be doing everything they can to prevent it and
to prevent people from remaining in the country illegally. So what this bill does,
and you're right to talk of it's a bipartisan deal, but even there
is one Republican, Susan Collins, who voted for it. Even a Senator
in Langford who helped draft the bill last time and promoted it didn't even vote
for it this time. But what this bill would do is if five thousand
illegal border crossers came every day for a week, average five thousand over the
seven day period, this bill requires DHS Secretary to declare emergency at the border.
What it would require after that, it's absolutely nothing. It wouldn't have
to take any action to prevent more people from coming, but he would just
have to say there's an emergency going on and that's it. Now. Obviously
DHS Secretary could do more, He can do more now. President Bien doesn't
need any authorit more authorit to secure the border. He's choosing not to.
So what this bill ultimately does is codified the Biden open border policies. But
even if the DHS Secretary whoever that may be, declared the emergency and did
try to stop illegal immigration, he was required under this bill to admit fourteen
hundred innimissible aliens a day, even when emergency was declared and give them work
permits. So what the Senate bill would do is again set of four.
We have to at least admit fourteen hundred a day, and we have to
give them work permits, which is in violation of what the law says right
now. So five thousand a day, my simple deer Park Matt tells me
that's about two million or one point eight million a year. And also work
permits are given out right now. It's illegal for this to occur, and
the Senate bill would quote the Senate Bill requires the processing of at least five
hundred thousand and up to one point eight million illegal encounters per year in the
US. It gives instant work permits to asylum seekers. It fails to end
the abuse in humanitarian parole. It fails to address loopholes associated it with unaccompanied
children. There's about seventy thousand children right now that are missing in the system
when that was under Trump. The media want nuts. Because it's under Biden,
no one brings it up, including child smuggling and trafficking and fentanyl.
Right now, it's illegal for someone to come into the country. So this
Senate bill would have and it would have been signed by Biden and Heartbeat would
have brought in one point eight to two million illegals legally give work permits across
the board and disperse all over the country. Now you also have a posting
about NGOs non government organizations. Can you explain because I watched this morning ladders
up fences in New Mexico. I've watched sixty thousand military age Chinese males come
across the southern border in San Diego. How do those individuals get all over
the country? I watched the story out of Minnesota, and which is a
small community of eight thousand people. There's been fourteen one hundred placements and a
small town in Minnesota of eight thousand people and they bring in fourteen hundred illegals
into the country to live in Minnesota, and so it is unbelievable. What
is the role of the so called NGOs. Well, you're right, there's
lots of people who are coming in. We talked, I believe last time
about how some people are flying directly into the United States through programs set up
by the Biden administration. But also people who come over the border illegally are
in many cases being housed temporarily by NGOs. And you know, those are
non governmental organizations. So the Biden administration says, well, these aren't government
operations, these are private charities. But they're receiving a lot of money,
taxpayer money. And so in effect, we are funding these NGOs and helping
them to facilitate illegal immigration. And so after their house they figure out where
they want to go, they can buy them plane tickets, or they can
put them on the bus. And you pointed to Minnesota. I just saw
a story today Boise, Idaho, where they were someone was filming three busloads
of people, migrants, you know, inimiscible aliens who were bused to Boise.
And this is happening all over the country, and our taxpayers are taxpayer
dollars are going to NGO entities to fund this. HR two. The House
Border Secure the Border Act would have prevented that from happening. That's another thing
the Senate bill wouldn't have done. You mentioned the litany of things, not
stopping unaccompanied miners, not tracking where they are, not raising credible fear,
not stopping asylum abuse and fraud. The Senate bill also would continue to fund
these NGOs. And there's not anything that the Biden administration is doing currently that
the Senate bill would have prevented from uh continuing to take place. Yeah,
but I'm just going to say, including sending all our money to these NGOs
who are aiding and a betting you even I don't know how a small town
of eight thousand people could put up with a couple a couple thousands just showing
up there who don't speak of the English and don't have medical care, and
the kids can't go to school. You can't take a twelve year old from
Peru and put them in like the sixth grade. It doesn't work. Your
numbers USA dot com. In the year twenty twenty three, the physical twenty
twenty three, one point four million migrants were released into the interior of the
country. Eight hundred and fifty thousand visitors overstayed their visas and remained in the
country illegally. And these are individuals who come into the country illegally, maybe
to say I'm going to school, or I want to look at the Grand
Canyon. I want to be a visitor. What I want to do is
go on vacation. In one year, eight hundred and fifty thousand overstayed their
visa. No one's looking for them. Six hundred and seventy thousand aliens are
reported to have entered the country illegally without apprehension and blended under the underground workforce.
Plus one million individuals obtained lawful permanent residence which are green cards. You
add up these numbers imagined going forward ten to twenty more years with the same
policies. If we don't change course, what happens to the country. And
you mentioned the visa overstays, which is something that's not getting a lot of
atens attention. We talked about this for a long time, but because you
know, it's so overwhelming what's happening at the border. So you know,
the things that we've been talking about for a long time or sort of you
know, we're still talking about, but they're not getting much attention. But
I don't know if you saw the story recently where two Jordanian nationals. One
came off student visa YEP, never went to school. The other one came
across the border illegally, was released in the United States, tried to drive
a box truck in the Quantico Military base. And this is another example of
where our government is not giving its information. DHS and FBI are not releasing
the details of who these people are, why they're in the country, what
they were trying to do. But we do know that they were trying to
force their way into the military base. And you know, these sorts of
things are going to become commonplace because there's so many people coming over and there's
so many people we have no idea who they are or what their intentions are
once they're here. Is this the way it always was? Here we are
in Memorial Day weekend twenty twenty four. Is this the way it was like
five years ago? Six years ago? It was not. And even when
we look back at the Obama administration may at the time we were very critical,
but the President Obama and his gay H Secretary j Johnson did take steps
and you can argue that well they did so because of the political blowback,
but they still responded to public opposition to the policies to Biden administration. Not
only is it responding, they're saying it's not happening, and if it is
happening, it's Donald Trump's fault. And people know that that's not the case.
You know, whether you like Donald Trump or not. I think we
talked about this before. No one is buying into the President Biden or Trucks
humor story that they're tougher on illegal immigration than the Biden or an excuse me,
than the Trump administration. You have a chart here about foreign born persons
living in America. In nineteen seventy, there was about nine million foreign born
persons living in the country. Now it's fifty two million. Fifty two million,
that's a look at this chart. He goes one direction straight up.
That's an all time high. And that's something we've repeated a lot during the
Biden administration is these are unprecedented times when it comes to immigration, and we
had a pause. You know, we had a great wave of immigration,
as it's known, and we had a time a period a very low immigration
where we had the growth of them in a class, civil rights movement,
economic opportunities for black Americans, and you know, arguably we made, you
know, forge the American idea. This pace in the scale of immigration right
now is not allowing for any of those. In fact, we're seeing a
reversal. Middle class people, taxpayers are being forced you know, losing money
by having to support these things, but also losing jobs and opportunities, and
working class Americans are having a hard time finding jobs that will allow them good
paying jobs, dignity and you know, entry into law term entry into the
workers, which is necessary for all of us to have a We can't have
a functioning nation if we have an economy that's dependent upon illegal labor. I've
heard the debates about whether if Trump is re elected, which I considered to
be almost impossible to comprehend. The media and the Democratic Party, they're not
done with him yet. I don't know if they're going to let him win.
But if he does win and he's sworn in and he says we have
to deport twenty to thirty million illegals in this country, federal judges, the
media all would go absolutely bonkers. Is conceivable that if Trump's put back an
office to actually deport twenty million people, How would that work? How would
that look Eisenhower did it in the nineteen fifties, much lower numbers. I
think most Americans support that. About seventy percent of Republicans say yes and about
forty percent Democrats say yes. Is it realistic? Right? Well, I
don't. And that's the way it's being presented as mass deportations, as somehow
Trump's going to have a police force. You know, federal police force is
going to go out and identify and round people up and remove them from the
country. Well, one of the things you do is you have the terrence
and enforcement, and so you have to stop the flow number one. But
you know, if you don't allow work opportunities, and even in a Biden
administration, if people aren't getting work authorization, there's no workplace enforcement. So
you don't have to have authorization to get a job of the United States,
unscrupless employers if they hire you. The federal government isn't going to prevent that.
If you cut off benefits, if you stop using taxpayer money to shut
upeople around the country to their destination. Choice, are the people coming over
the border respond to the inspects that we are sending, right, And if
President Trump stopped sending those incentives and you're right about how the courts is going
to get tied up in the court. That's going to be a tough fight.
But if we have the political will, and as you mentioned, democratic
voters support removing people here illegally. Again, if we're not enforcing our laws
and we're not making people who shouldn't be here returned to their own countries,
then we can't say that we have an immigration system what we have or open
borders. They facto open borders, no matter how the other side wants to
say not everyone's getting in. Everyone that does get in, whether they have
permission to or not, is going to remain in this country, even if
they commit crimes. We've seen illegal alliens. So once I just mentioned the
Jordanian ashes, where are they and are they going to be removed from this
country? Our government will not give us an affirmative answer to them now.
And we have hundreds of thousands of those who wish us ill from dozens of
countries, and it's so easy to come into this country to prepare to commit
terrorism or crime. There's migrant crimes. I watch ABC News the other night
did a story on those from Peru, and another group was from Columbia,
it's burglary tourism, and it's those who break into cars brought into the country
illegally. They have to break into so many cars or homes in order to
justify their existence and massive lawlessness. And I hear constantly, and I'm glad
you're here to answer this question. I have it on many guests who say
blue cities, blue states do not ask immigration status, so when someone's arrested,
we don't know if they hear illegally. But on the other hand,
I constantly hear that the crime rate of illegals is lower than native born Americans.
Both cannot be true. We do hear that a lot, and in
this case, there's not information available. The information that is available, Well,
here's the trick that you have side does to make this argument. They
don't count most of the crimes the people here illegally commit, including crossing the
border illegally, So they're very selective in the crimes that they tabulate. But
they're also ignoring the fact that a lot of these places, even if they're
not saying tu where jurisdictions don't have that data readily available or they're not providing
that data. But we do know yes, of course, when you're letting
everyone in. People who want to work at the local fast food franchise or
the person who's in a criminal gang from Venezuela are both in the country right
and many have the best of intentions to come here. Many do not.
But you can't say the crime rate is low for illegals when you don't inquire
as to immigration status when they're arrested. Have no idea, much like saying,
well, the crime rate is down, but police aren't arresting people.
Judges aren't convicting people, and cops are demoralized and they don't want to arrest
anyone because they know they're going to be released before the paperwork has completed.
I've had many comps tell me that they don't want to arrest anybody. It's
not worth it. And we also see particularly in San Francisco would be the
perfect example. In California the state as a whole, they're not arresting people
for certain crimes. But also if you are an immigrant, if you're farm
born and you're arrested, they're going to let you pleed down spelling in to
a misdemeanor, or they're going to let you go and we see this specifically
with Honda and drug dealers in San Francisco. The DA said said that publicly,
we're not going to arrest them because that might get them removed from the
country, and so they're allowed to deal drugs with impunity. And I'm mad.
You know, if you're not arresting people, then you're not charging them
with crimes. Right, the crime rates down and the legal aliens don't commit
crime. You know that. Of course, we don't arrest anybody, and
we don't ask immigration status. But the talking point is there for those easily
misled. The website is NumbersUSA dot com and it's a wonderful resource and I
get de pressed when I read it. But we have to think there's a
better day that lies ahead, and you can't have the same results. But
what we have to do is change leadership. We can't keep doing the same
thing anticipating differing results. And at least the Trumpster would put his finger in
the in the league and say we got to stop this, quit incentivizing it.
I don't know if he can deport twenty million, but five or ten
would be a good start. And if you commit crime in this country,
it should be automatic, but Eric Rwer continued to have a great Memorial Day
weekend, and thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you
Eric. Always great to be with you. Bill, God bless you.
Let's continue with more. Crime rate is down. Of course crime is up,
but cops on arresting individuals and not inquiring, so we don't know.
But I know the crime rate is down and illegals are very peaceful. Let's

I'm kneeling at the age of seven or eight of a Luken signed Lucan

that's a different issue. Let's talk about a couple of days ago to Tom
didn't vince words, No, he didn't. You caught some flak by the
media types about you shut down the city of Cincinnati like Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and it won't open un till Octoberfest.
Can you explain why you shut down things so early. We don't shut
things down. We've got taste of Cincinnati this week and Memorial Day. We've
been doing this for forty seven years. This is the forty fifth taste of
Cincinnati. It's going to be absolutely incredible. We got half a million people
coming down here. Question. It's a great Cincinnati tradition. We shut down
the streets because of safety. We want to make sure we do the load
in these days. We've got to build tents. We added a bunch of
new seating for everybody. We've got sixty five vendors, twenty five beer booths,
a bunch of sponsors. We've got four stages that we build and a
bunch of seating areas, which is what people tell us they want. They
want to be able to sit down. It tastes of Cincinnati and relax and
get some shade and have a beer or eight beers and food and cheesecake and
taste of Belgium which we brought here today, and stumble home and stumble home.
It's going to be a great be safe everybody. Should You didn't answer
my question, I would assume the taste. Last year we shut down.
We did shut down earlier. It's a bigger footprint this year. We've added
a bunch of space. We've added a bunch of stages and a bunch of
extra space. And I'll tell you when in the past we were doing this
at four o'clock in the morning. It got dangerous. We were doing it
with the streets open, and so we worked with the city, had a
plan to close down the streets. It just so happened Wednesday morning. Rained
the heavens open up, the lightning, the thunder, it starts pouring down,
of course, and of course it's the first time the streets are closing.
People. I'm not I'm not going to suggest that people don't read all
of their emails from their building managers. I did not. I don't want
to accuse anybody of not reading building manager emails. But sometimes that happens.
Our right newsroom what nuts because they said it was a communication problem and I
you and I spoke. We'll do tell me about the lack of communication or
something. Oh, well, you know what, we'll do more next year.
I actually had a great idea. We're going to use those O dot
signs to remind people next year. On the highways. I had one person
accused us of a conspiracy. They love it. I love the conspiracy.
I love shut down the roads so that you could remind people the tastes of
Cincinnati was happening. We're not that smart, but it's going to be a
great weekend and people, you know what, this is the unofficial beginning of
summer, and so uh. I apologize anybody for any inconvenience over the last
couple of days downtown. But that's one of the beauties about our downtown is
it's a place where we have stuff like this happen. You never know what
you're going to run into. We've got concerts, we've got professional sports,
we've got festival, and you're in charge of now blink. I'm not in
charge of it all, but I Octoberfest. Octoberfest coming up. Now,
we did move Octoberfest. People are gonna be happy about that. We're really
excited. That's going to be down at Sawyer Point this year. A beautiful,
lush Octoberfest on the river under the bridges Friday Saturday Sunday, right Thursday,
Friday, Thursday, Saturday Sunday. It's going to be spectacular. Now,
getting back to this issue, I've said before that even when city council
fails and the mayors are not what they should be, not the good old
days of Lucan and Mallory and Cranley, we now have PG purrivoal is in
charge. No matter how bad they screw up, there are things happening in
our town better and different than other cities of similar size. We have the
sports teams, which is an anchor. We have the taste that you control
Octoberfest. We have Steve Laper three c DC I don't know fifty to buildings
they've remodeled and take care of. We have a Schmael Park which was picked
as the best park ever. Pay Corps moving couarters downtown sacks fifth they're going
to move down there. We have pickle ball is now a big deal,
and you can go on the You're not much of a pickle ball guy.
But nonetheless, no matter how screwed up the politicians are, we just had
the mayor on talking about the city financially got to make some serious cuts next
year because all the free money is gone. But in spite of that,
because of the John Barretts, and because of the Fifth Third Banks and that
Joseph Chevrolet in that group, they got it. They're holding down the city
of Cincinnati. Do you have a concern as a young man down the road
if Cincinnati becomes Portland or Chicago that we lose political leadership is so bad that
the fathers and mothers of our town move out? Could you ever move out?
Have no concern about that at all on Cincinnati. Tell me what the
reason is is the for instance, this mayor, the Hamilton County Commission right
now, they they are positioning themselves as doing business with business leaders and they
they open up the doors and they partner. Take a look at Mayor Pureval,
what he's done on this convention center. He gets elected into office and
a group of people going to him says, Mayor, we've got to redo
the convention Center. And what's he say, Tell me how to do it,
Let me work with you. And he has been with us the entire
step of the way, so that Steve Lieber could redo the convention Center,
build an eight hundred room headquarter hotel right across the street, which we had
to We had to get rid of the Millennium Hotel. And I think it's
going to be a huge success pay Corps, huge success Business City Partnership,
and I think I think, I do believe that we're going to have good
things ahead. When it comes to the stadiums downtown. You got the County
Commission really trying to work with the Bengals and the Reds. Make sure that
I talk to Laser Race recently. She's got Bengals put up one hundred twenty
five million, five million dollars. That's terrific, and they're investing in that
stadium for the long term. Because you know, look that the Browns and
the Blackburns, they love Cincinnati, they care a lot about Cincinnati. They
want this place to do well. And I think they're thinking about the fan
experience down there on the river in a positive and the fact they're putting up
the money now in a case to me, they're going to exercise five year
option next summer they get it kicking on to twenty thirty and then another five
years after that. Bengals belong to Cincinnati forever. And look, I mean
Central, Look at Central Parkway. This is another thing the city's doing really
well right now, partnering with fc Cincinnati to make sure that we redo.
The federal government came in with some money. We're going to redo Central Parkway.
Right in front of the TQL Stadium. You've got a huge development going
out there. People want to live in the city. There's four hundred and
fifty apartments being built right now within a block of where I work on four
Street Downtown. That's people who care about the city. They believe, they're
bullish on the future of the city. And you could say, oh,
we got the politics this, we don't like this part. I don't like
that partext by the way, I don't like it. I will say there's
a there is a people are working together right now, and that's what I
think. You know, the general public should want. You should want people
working together. You shouldn't want, you know, a pitched battle all the
time. And we'll fight over things for sure. But I think you're seeing
a time right now where we're able to get some big things. Brendon call,
this is what I've noticed in Columbus. There's no Democrats. You can't
find one with a search warrant. What the Republicans fight Republicans in gott You
can't find him anywhere. Yeah, you can't get Joe Biden on the ballot.
Now that the Republicans in the House ought to say. Look, we
complained about the Democrats who are anti democratic, stuffing the ballot boxes, no
verify on signatures, and letting illegals vote. We can't be the party that
keeps Biden, even Biden off the ballot. You got to say that we
did it. They did it for Trump last time too. I think you're
I think governor, I think the governor. But it's the governor. He
was just down here and walked around Finley Market with him. He's a good
man, he put. I talked to Mike. He said, well,
I can't order the legislature to pass. The legislation he's calling a special sessions.
They get back here, get back here, and they're going to say
no. Do you think, yeah, that's what he thinks. Now if
they say no, here we go to federal court. And I'm thinking,
now, come on. Even though I don't care much for Joe Biden,
as you may know, I think his policy suck and they're terrible, he
belongs on the ballot. He used to have the choice. You got to
get people that, you got to give them a choice. Obviously, he's
the nominee, a nominee, and the same thing would be true if it
were she would or on the other front. They've done it before for Republicans
to change the date by moving forward two weeks and you kind of know the
name anyway, unless something dramatic happens. Have you thought about running Cincinnati public
schools? That they're in a complete disaster, Three supers in four years,
The school board is fighting with each other, Terrible test results, take away
Walnut in the montassories. The kids aren't learning a damn thing. And I'm
thinking we need somebody, maybe like Steve Leeper, to take control of the
public school. I don't know what you'd have to get steve to do to
run the public school system. But it'd be interesting. You're going to need
a new superintendent. I know they got an interm in there. There's bright
spots since our public schools, as there's always been. With Walleing Hills High
School obviously continues to do really well. I live in Clifton, as you
know some people, and they've they've started a new elementary school. They're just
graduated their first class all the way through there. It's it's it's really cool
what they've done. There's bright spots. But but you're right, I think
CPS that the board has got to align and agree on a strategy and then
stick with it, for they won't. Kevin Aldridge, another liberal that runs
the editorial page of the inquir Aldridge says there must be changes and the school
board you got to resign. Ben Lindy should get control and whoever is responsible
for this debacle should have to pay for this. I'll tell you, I
think people do need to pay attention to since a public schools, it is,
it's hugely important. It's important to got to have got good workforce programs.
We've got to make sure that the high schools are performing so that kids
who graduate can go get jobs, or can go to college or go into
the military. But we've got to have a strategy and stick to it for
a while because we don't want to be failing the kids. Let's go back
to the taste. We have the Dodgers in town. It's gonna be tonight,
yep, Saturday, Sunday, then the Cardinals come and by then it'll
be over. How many people are we talking, give me the tell of
the tape. Vendors attendance went and open. It's eleven to eleven Saturday and
Sunday, eleven to eight on Monday, eighty five vendors. We've got food
trucks, brick and mortar restaurants, food truck Alley Finley Market. If you
haven't been down to Finley Market in a while, they're getting ready to do
a big, big campaign to make sure that the market house stays well.
It's beautiful, it's amazing, it's it's one of the best. I love
that, one of the best places in the entire region. You go down
to Finley Market, you see people, you know, you eat great food.
They have a twenty business on Broadway as part of Taste of Cincinnati,
so they'll have a lot of their up and coming food vendors down there.
That's why we do this. I mean, you got small businesses who are
they're trying to make it. My friend Derek Brazil, who runs Pottero Hoa
Tacos, he started out, is a food truck, a little food stand
doing stuff in the street. He's got a business on Court Street, which
three CDC has just renovated. It's going terrific for him. He's going to
be a taste of Cincinnati. We got a lot of folks like that.
How many tons of beer? How many half a million people have huge stages.
The Menus are playing on Sunday night, Cincinnati's favorite band, The Menus.
Do you have a weather plan because a call to Steve Rawleigh Sunday evening
might be rough, high winds. I mean, we tornadoes, a little
bit of rain at some point. There's not gonna be any earthquakes. There's
not gonna be tornadoes. Uh, it might rain a little bit. That
happen. We've got a good plan. I think tomorrow looks perfect. Tomorrow
is gonna be a great day to drink beer all day long on Fifth Street
in downtown Cincinnati. There's plenty of parking. It's really easy to get around.
Sunday we might have a little bit of a rain, but if you
come down early, I think you'll have a great time. Monday, same
thing goes. It's gonna be a great day. There's so much beer.
Gold Star. Gold Star has a burger, the official burger of Taste of

great man. They've got a soccer pitch that they've built on Fifth Street so
the kids can come down and play. There's gonna be My friend Chris Wederick
at the Business Courier says, these are five thousd calorie days. I think
you can do eight thousand calories. Well, it's gonna be terrific. Joey
Chess next to a way. I'll bring him in. But as far as
the amount of money, it used to be two and three dollars for an
item. What is it now? I had matt Ree's complaining, better take
a hundred bucks with you if you want to drink beer and eat a lot.
A little expensive inflation, the bid inflation. Here's what's important is the
folks who are running these restaurants. They've been through so much lately. And
if you're a restaurant tour in Cincinnati, you put your heart and soul into
this place. No, and I love these men and women who hang out
a menu in front of their place and try to make it go. And
I'm telling you the food they buy from the suppliers is expensive. It costs
to pay people a fair wage, make sure that they come to work every
day. It's an expensive industry. And so you know what coming down to
tastoa Cincinnati supporting small business and entrepreneurs. You might pay six bucks for a
burger or seven bucks for a giant pile of mac and cheese, but you're
gonna have a great time. You're gonna hear great music. I told people
today talk to the people behind the booth because you're gonna meet the restaurant words.
You're going to meet the owners. These are Cincinnati's best. And to
my view, we are working so hard and so we do this because we
want to support them. We want to support this beautiful, diverse culinary culture
that we have. Brendon Call of the Taste. When will things be opened
