00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:10.800
Heyward on our website. Bonus,
that's bonas. Enter it now, Billy

2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.519
cunning in the Great American welcome this
glorious Monday afternoon the tri State. After

3
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.280
all the exciting football yesterday that we
were not involved in the Bengals et centa,

4
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.519
We're back, loud proud in sase
for so many issues, so little

5
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.320
time later on as Moe Hegger breaking
down the games of yesterday and more,

6
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:29.399
plus the Xavier loss at Connecticut.
But until then, our us centator from

7
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.159
Ohio is JD. Evans and Senator
JD. Evans welcome again in the Bill

8
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.320
Cunningham Show. Let's get right into
it. According to media accounts, which

9
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.079
I'm sure inaccurate, you Republicans and
the Senator are about to approve a deal

10
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:47.280
where five thousand illegal aliens every day
come across the southern border, and then

11
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.719
the President might declare an emergency,
in which case you could cut it off.

12
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.719
My simple deer, Park Matt tells
me that's approximately two million a year

13
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.560
coming into the country illegally when they
have little or no chance of getting a

14
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.679
refugee status. Anyway, where does
JD. Vance, the Senator from Ohio

15
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.439
stand on the issue of allowing five
thousand legal aliens coming in every day,

16
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.719
and you Republicans seem to be an
agreement on that. How's that possible?

17
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.239
Well, well, you'll be shocked
to learn that. I think this deal

18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.560
is a disaster, and I don't
think there's a Republican agreement on this at

19
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.239
all. I think that what has
happened is that a few Republicans have tried

20
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.680
to play politics here and frankly,
have gotten out negotiated by the Democrats and

21
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.920
now are trying to force this deal
through. By the way, Willie,

22
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.400
we don't even actually know what's in
it. The provision you just talked about,

23
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:34.920
I think will be in the final
package, but we haven't seen the

24
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.239
text. Normally, with these things, you want to actually read the bill

25
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.640
before you vote on it, hopefully
to give us time to do that.

26
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.519
But here's the thing. If you
are going to allow five thousand illegal aliens

27
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:52.560
into the country every single day before
forcing this sort of emergency border shutdown mechanism,

28
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.760
why would you set that number at
five thousand. Why wouldn't you set

29
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.400
it close to zero? That would
actually empower the president, whoever he might

30
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.879
be, to use of emergency authority
to shut down the border. If you're

31
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:07.840
going to let two million people in, why do it at all. The

32
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.159
other crazy thing about this, Willy, is you go back to the Obomba

33
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:14.479
administration. That's, of course,
the last Democrat administration that we had.

34
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.360
They said that if you allowed one
thousand people in per day, it would

35
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:24.159
overwhelm the system. So we're implicitly
allowing five thousand per day with this so

36
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:29.319
called border deal. It's really a
disaster for the country. The final point

37
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.560
I'll make about this, Willy,
is that it is political malpractice of the

38
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:37.360
highest degree. Joe Biden has a
terrible border problem because as soon as he

39
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.240
became president, he ended remain in
Mexico. He massively expanded the amount of

40
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.039
illegal aliens he was parrolling into the
country from about five thousand a year under

41
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.840
the Obama administration to a million per
year. That's non exaggeration, WILLI.

42
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.240
So he owns this border crisis politically, And if we're going to take a

43
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.199
vote in the United States Senate,
it should only be to do something that

44
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:04.280
will fix the problem. But if
you vote for something that simultaneously won't fix

45
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.319
the problem and allows Joe Biden to
say, well, at least he tried

46
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.319
in a bipart is a way to
fix the border. You don't get the

47
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.240
political win. You don't get to
win for the American people. It's lose

48
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.960
lose all around. So jd.
Vance would oppose. I would say anything

49
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:23.560
above zero, because one thousand is
still one thousand, but five thousand is

50
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.639
utterly ridiculous. When you think about
individuals getting TSA clearance, I've been to

51
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.639
many airports. You're in a lot
of airports now you probably weren't in before.

52
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.240
But if you're illegal TSA, you
wave the line. You have no

53
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.639
ID whatsoever. You're shipped all over
the country to Catholic charities and other NGOs

54
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.719
to provide assistance. And I read
a US Census Bureau survey that at the

55
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.240
current trend we're going to have in
the year twenty fifty, which seems like

56
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.960
forever. I may not be alive
in that year, but I'm sure you

57
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.240
and your kids will be alive in
that year twenty fifty, that we're going

58
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:01.599
to have at least one hundred million
more legal aliens inside of America then we

59
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:06.479
presently have. Population will be four
hundred and sixty million. We don't have

60
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.120
the infrastructure, don't have the public
schools, don't have the don't have the

61
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.439
highways and the byways, don't have
the ers emergency rooms. We're not scaled

62
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:20.000
to suddenly have one hundred million more
people in this country. It's an ecological

63
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.759
disaster. It's awful, it's terrible. Cincinnati has largely been spared, but

64
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.279
not the other major cities where these
people are shipped. The mentality is is

65
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.720
there a mentality in the US Senate
with Senator Langford. I guess he's the

66
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.480
point man from Oklahoma that this is
an existential that's a great word, crisis

67
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.839
that has the potential of destroying the
United States of America when you erase the

68
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.360
southern border. Is there a sense
that this is an invasion that must be

69
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.319
stopped or is this a minor problem
that must be managed? Which is it?

70
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.920
I think among most Republicans we recognize
as an invasion that must be stopped.

71
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.839
But let me just explain the politics
of this and how we got here,

72
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.959
because I think it illustrates why it's
a mistake to do this, but

73
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:09.759
also how Republicans frankly got played by
Biden and Schumer into the situation where in

74
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.120
right now. So, first of
all, Biden and Schumer wanted sixty one

75
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.399
billion dollars for Ukraine, and a
lot of Republicans agree with them. Of

76
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.639
course I don't, but a lot
of Republicans agreed. And so here is

77
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:25.000
the basic trade. Republicans weren't allow
sixty one billion for Ukraine, but Biden

78
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.160
and Schumer were going to agree to
some real border security. Here's the problem

79
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.319
with that, Willy Biden has the
power to shut down the border right now,

80
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.040
so the trades that it should have
been made. If you want to

81
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:41.040
trade Ukraine money for border security,
you should tell Joe Biden that we're not

82
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.959
going to ride another dime to Ukraine
unless you get illegal border crossings very close

83
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.560
to zero every single day in this
country. He has the power to do

84
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:53.480
it with the laws that exist on
the books. That deal was never put

85
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.879
on the table. So what happened
is we got into this weird rabbit hole

86
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.199
where Republicans are giving more more,
Democrats are taking more and more and giving

87
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.199
less and less, and that has
led to where we are right now.

88
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.920
One other issue, just substantily on
this border bill, Willie, it's worth

89
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.879
talking about what if, hopefully Donald
Trump wins presidential election in twenty twenty four.

90
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.600
He becomes president on January twenty twenty
five, and this border package is

91
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.639
in place. Let's say Donald Trump
wants to get a legal border crossings to

92
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.839
five per day, not five thousand, but five per day, which is

93
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.000
very close to zero. Do you
have a group of illegal aliens backed by

94
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.680
the ACLU doing him and saying no, no, no, because we have

95
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.879
this law on the books now you
have to allow up to five thousand per

96
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.079
day. The risk of this is
not just that it's a huge mistake now,

97
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.639
it's that it hamstrings a future Republican
president from enforcing the border, even

98
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.279
if he wants to. We've got
to be smarter than this Willie and stop

99
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:59.639
being taken for a ride by very
very bad Democratic lawmakers who don't want to

100
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:04.040
secure border. Why what is the
motive, JD. You're a bright guy.

101
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:09.279
Let's go to thirty thousand feet and
look down on this country. We

102
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:15.800
cannot afford what's happening presently, much
less discontinuing if in November Michelle Obama becomes

103
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.040
the president or god forbid, Gavin
Newsom. I don't think there's any way

104
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.920
in the world that Joe Biden's going
to make it to that point or Kamala

105
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:26.639
Harris, and they continue these policies
for the next four to eight to twelve

106
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.759
years. What does America look like
when we have an additional one hundred million,

107
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.399
generally male, unattached aliens living in
this country doing god knows what?

108
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.720
What happens to the to the world
in which we're living and in which we

109
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.319
have. We can we can ride
that, we drive the highways, we

110
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.639
can go to go to a hospital
every now and then, we can go

111
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.000
to a public school. What happens
to America if the Democrats have their way

112
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.800
and literally destroy the country through the
invasion? Where do what do we do?

113
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:56.160
Then? Well, first of all, Willie, that's that's that's the

114
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:01.560
trick where you know this is an
innocent people sleep persecution. It's out of

115
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.439
the dictator's playbook that if you're persecuting
people, it's usually women and children.

116
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.879
And yet all the people pouring across
the border claiming asylum in our country right

117
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:15.040
now are like you said, young
unattached men. Those are typically not the

118
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.439
people who are most affected by political
persecution. It makes this whole thing so

119
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.040
absurd. But here's the game plan, Willie. I want to be honest

120
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.759
about this. It's all about politics, and you don't have to think much

121
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.360
more about it than that. They
don't care if they make the country dirtier,

122
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.240
overcrowded, if they stress our hospital
system and our school system by allowing

123
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:43.159
one hundred million illegal aliens in the
country, because they know, they know

124
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.519
Willie that they will benefit from politically. How does that work well? Right

125
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:54.080
now, California has between three and
five congressional seats that it shouldn't have over

126
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.120
the state of Ohio. Why because
California has the largest illegal alien population in

127
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.320
the country under court rulings that have
said that you don't just count citizens for

128
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:09.879
apportioning congressional seats, you count non
citizens and illegal aliens too. So the

129
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.440
game plan here, Willy, is
to let these people in by the tens

130
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.840
of millions, inflate the number of
congressional districts you give to democratic leaning seats,

131
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.559
and then effectively take over the country
from there. It's all about political

132
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.320
power. They don't care if they
have to destroy the country to get there.

133
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:31.519
There's a headline this morning. White
House demands Speaker Johnson give Biden quote

134
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.720
authority and funding to secure the border. One of the lies told by Joe

135
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.000
Biden is that all I need some
more money to secure the border. Can

136
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.039
you, JD. Vans, can
you give the American people two or three

137
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.480
orders? Now? Joe Biden,
if he was serious, could take this

138
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.320
afternoon to secure the border without funding
and being involved at all. Yeah.

139
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.720
So two things he could do,
I really mean immediately, Willie, and

140
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.399
it would radically reduce the illegal immigration
population of this country. Number one is

141
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.240
he could re institute remain in Mexico, where if you come to this country

142
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.840
illegally and you get a court date
and then they release you into the United

143
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.200
States of America, we don't hear
from these people six years, ten years

144
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.759
down the road. They're effectively in
the country indefinitely. But if they have

145
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.720
to go to Mexico to wait until
their immigration claim is adjudicated, then a

146
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.440
lot fewer people will come to begin
with. That's number one. And number

147
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.279
two, he's got to take parole. This is purely under the discretion of

148
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.320
the President of the United States.
Obama uses this authority about five thousand times

149
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.000
per year. Joe Biden is using
it almost a million times per year.

150
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.080
Take that pole number down to zero. You do those two things remain in

151
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.600
Mexico, parole down to zero,
you effectively deal with the water crisis immediately.

152
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.960
He won't do that. It doesn't
cost a nickel, doesn't cost a

153
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.799
penny. He doesn't need to do
that, he doesn't need funding to do

154
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.600
that. Why won't he do that? Because the real purpose is to overwhelm

155
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.279
the system, to take more political
power and keep control. Well, the

156
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:05.320
checkbook. Whoever controls the checkbook controls
the power. So after this November they

157
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.279
want control of the checkbook. All
right, So you're saying I want to

158
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.799
move on to East Palestine and some
other things. But you're saying number one,

159
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.519
what number one? Is this going
to pass the Senate? With five

160
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.440
thousand a day illegally coming in?
Is that going to work? Answer good

161
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.960
question, Willie. I think there's
a good chance we can kill it.

162
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.679
I certainly don't think it can pass
the House. But well, even some

163
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.360
of my Republican friends who support this
deal, they're wrong about it the force,

164
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.519
but they say that if they can't
get a majority of Republicans behind this

165
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.840
package, they're not going to vote
for it. I think that it's going

166
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.679
to be really hard to get a
majority of Republicans to support five thousand people

167
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.320
a day anty for legal aliens,
so hopefully we can destroy it. Let's

168
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.399
move on to East Palestine. Almost
exactly a year ago February third, twenty

169
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.759
twenty three, Norfolk Southern had a
terrible derailment in East Palestine, Eastern Ohio.

170
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.799
It's in a god forsaken part of
the world unless you happen to be

171
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.519
living there. If you're living there, that's your home. And since then

172
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.840
you've been on this like white on
rice, and I can recall the streams

173
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.639
and the pollution. Here we are
a year later, where the promises kept

174
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:16.440
by government and by Norfolk Southern.
No, they haven't been willing. I

175
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.240
mean, look, we've made some
progress here. The EPA has finally gotten

176
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.240
to the point where it's focused on
cleaning the waterways. I don't know why

177
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.639
it took a year, but we've
gotten there, and I think we're making

178
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.679
good progress there. The ground clean
up thing that contaminated soil has finally finished.

179
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.080
That's a good thing. You know. We've got some people I think

180
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.799
we've been able to get reimbursements for
their destroyed home values, but a lot

181
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.000
of people are still waiting. And
of course I think We're still waiting to

182
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.559
bring some common sense rail safety to
the country. So look, we've made

183
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.279
some progress. I'll continue to stay
on top of it. I think fundamentally,

184
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.840
the thing that the people of These
Palestine want is a clean community,

185
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.919
and they want the long term confidence
that they can range their kids there without

186
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.200
without suffering really bad health consequences.
Have we done that, No, I'm

187
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.720
still working on it. But it
would be nice to have a Biden administration

188
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.960
who gave a crap about these people. And one of the just really shameful

189
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.279
things that Joe Biden has done is
he promised he would go and visit.

190
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.679
I think his government has been at
best lackluster about what's going on in These

191
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.799
Palestine. And unfortunately, if you
have a federal government where the President of

192
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.559
United States doesn't care, it's very
hard to get the resources and contention these

193
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.200
people need. Should Cincinnati You're a
Cincinnati and should Cincinnati worry about getting the

194
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.759
one point six billion dollars from Norfolk
Southern. The closing is March fifteenth.

195
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:41.120
When I read about Norfolk Southern,
they're losing money handover fist. They've lost

196
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.639
a billion dollars, They're about to
lose another billion dollars. Should the Railway

197
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.320
board here worry about getting the one
point six billion to your question, Willie,

198
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.480
I don't know. My guesses they're
going to come up with that money

199
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.120
because they really want that railroad.
But it's not something that I followed.

200
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.720
Whether they're going to be able to
pay up. I'd be shocked if they

201
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.240
can. But you know, crazier
things have happened, so we'll certainly look

202
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.279
into it. Lastly, American soldiers
are being killed. I don't know why

203
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.639
American soldiers are in a foxhol somewhere
in Jordan. We have seven hundred and

204
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.039
fifty military bases in one hundred and
twenty five different countries, and now three

205
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.919
US soldiers are killed by drones.
Headlines Mitch McConnell calls for striking Iran.

206
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.639
Iran threatens a nuclear strike on Israel
if that happens. According to Tehran quote,

207
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.360
we are on the brink, on
the brink. I look at what's

208
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:37.120
happening in Iraq where American soldiers have
been attacked like two hundred times by drones

209
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:41.000
and other missiles, all coming directly
or in directly out of Iran. How

210
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:46.120
do you process what happened with American
soldiers being killed in Jordan, in Iraq?

211
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.120
How do you process the fact that
the UN we paid the UN workers

212
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.679
in Gaza's strip, and I guess
fourteen of them were part of the massacre

213
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:00.440
brigade who attacked Israel, and US
taxpayer dollars are at stake there. First

214
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.679
of all, give me your thought
on what's happening with Iran. You're leader,

215
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.519
so to speak. I hope you
don't vote for Mitch McConnell ever again

216
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.919
for be the leader. But he
calls for striking Tehran Iran that could tip

217
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.879
the world into a war nuclear war. How do you process all this?

218
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.399
You say a few things, Willy. First of all, our hearts go

219
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.960
out, of course to the people
who died serving their country. They're good

220
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.480
people. We don't wish this course
on anybody, but especially on some of

221
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.240
our bravest. We've got to keep
them in our thoughts and prayers. Second

222
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.320
thing, Willie, is why were
they over there in the first place.

223
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.759
Every single American that is in that
region of the world is a massive target

224
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.840
that allows people to take advantage of
us, to attack us, and of

225
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.519
course occasionally to kill our people.
We've got to be much more careful about

226
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.919
where we put American troops to begin
with. Here's the thing. Will we

227
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.000
have to do something when you kill
Americans, We've got to respond. But

228
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.120
striking Tehran is not what a statesman
would do. We do not want to

229
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.240
escalate this to hang into World War
three. We want to attack some raining

230
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.519
targets. We want to make clear
that you can't attack our guys without getting

231
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.919
hit back hard. But we also
need to after that have a serious conversation

232
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.320
about how we get our troops out
of that regional world and how we stop

233
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.799
escalating this thing. We've got war
in Israel, war in Ukraine, potentially

234
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:26.679
war in Taiwan, potentially warren Iran. We cannot support Willie over a trillion

235
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.840
dollars in debt, a four or
five front world war. We've got to

236
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.600
pick and choose. And I think
that means we need to actually get a

237
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.200
lot of our troops out of the
Belize. They're just massive targets over there,

238
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.720
and I don't know what purpose we're
serving by inviting people to attack some

239
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.080
of our best and drivers. And
I know you got to run. We

240
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:48.080
also borrow every day about six billion
dollars of brand new money that I'm not

241
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.200
going to be paid back. Jamie
Diamond, one of the masters of the

242
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.120
Universe in Wall Street, said that
there is a predictive financial crisis coming to

243
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:02.840
America in the next five years that's
going to destroy the dollar and make the

244
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:07.000
Great Depression look like a carnival.
It's because we have a debt crisis.

245
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.000
We owe thirty four trillion. By
twenty thirty, we're going to owe forty

246
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.799
trillion dollars, none of which can
be paid back, and at some point

247
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.759
the interest alone is close to a
trillion dollars a year, and the average

248
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.200
American between a trillion, a billion
and a million, have no idea what

249
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.920
that means. Can you give me
thirty seconds on the debt crisis America is

250
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.400
about to face, Qui. Look, we're spinning way more than we take

251
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.440
in and we have no reasonable pathway
to fiscal sanity. It's one of the

252
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:38.240
reasons why Willy I think we need
to be focused more on our own domestic

253
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:44.240
problems rather than getting involved in another
major global conflict. But look, the

254
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.359
fundamental problem WILLI is is Congress.
You know, we have all of these

255
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.400
continued resolutions to get passed. We
kick the can down the road. We

256
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.799
actually take in a lot of tax
revenue relative to a few years ago.

257
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:02.480
It's just that we haven't gotten spending
under control after that post COVID boom and

258
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.319
spending. We just get back to
twenty nineteen spending levels, Willie, will

259
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:08.279
be in pretty solid shape. That's
what we should be focused on. We

260
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.279
shouldn't be spending more money that we
don't have. We should be focused on

261
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:17.440
getting our physical house in order.
Would you be Trump's running mate? I

262
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.119
said, Willie, I'll help President
Trump however I can, because I think

263
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.519
he's got to win. But I
like being a senator. I think I

264
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.400
can help President Trump and more importantly, the people of Ohio as a good

265
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.960
senator. So that's where I plan
to be. If he offers it,

266
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.960
would you accept it? I certainly
think seriously about it, William. And

267
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:34.200
look, you got to help out
however you can. And if he thinks

268
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.000
that, you know, we can
be an important team that I'd have to

269
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.960
think seriously about it. But like
I said, as I've said to him,

270
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.640
said to you, I think I'm
best served and the people of Ohio

271
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.599
are best served by having me in
the United States Senate. Thank you very

272
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.920
much, and You're not been institutionalized
yet in Washington. You continue to be

273
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.599
normal. Senator JD. Vance,
once again, thank you for coming on

274
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.480
the Bill Cunningham Show this glorious Monday
afternoon. Thank you, JD. Thanksfully

275
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.519
endure. Let's continue with more.
He is not yet institutionalized, and I

276
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:10.279
pray never becomes. Let's continue.
Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WLW,

277
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:15.319
tired of career politicians with spines of
rubber. Good News Southern Ohio.

278
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.039
There's a new kid in Ti
