WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:10.960 That's the dollar. Enter it now. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, 2 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.080 Welcome this glorious at Randy Friday afternoon the tri State. Later on as Tim 3 00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:19.679 Graham of Media Research Center in gren Bozel, plus the Life and Times at 4 00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.879 Tricia Mackie celebrating thirty years at Fox nineteen. But until then, Senator JD. 5 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.320 Vance, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Senator, first 6 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.000 of all, can I get your reaction to the President's speech spending another one 7 00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.320 hundred billion dollars of a new credit card. We're going to open up and 8 00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.840 max that out quickly, and whether or not that any restraints are put on 9 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.600 the money's given to the Ukraine or to Israel. First of all, Senator, 10 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.719 what is your reaction to the President's speech? Well, first of all, 11 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.679 I thought it was a disgraceful speech, and I don't say that lightly, 12 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.280 Willie. I watched show Biden give speeches for a couple of years. 13 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.679 I've been unhappy with a lot of them, but yesterday I think he crossed 14 00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.079 a totally new line of grossness. We have to remember, of course, 15 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.359 that our Israeli friends just had the worst terrorist attack in their nation's history, 16 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.519 which is saying something fifteen hundred people dead, some of them Americans, of 17 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:14.000 course, most of them are Israelis, and Joe Biden basically tried to use 18 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:19.840 the Israeli tragedy to sell something thousands of miles away, which is further funding 19 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.200 for his Ukraine conflict. Now we have to remember, of course, that 20 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:29.400 the Ukraine War is fundamentally different from the Israeli conflict. It involves different actors, 21 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.000 it involves different American national security interests. The weapons the Israelis need actually 22 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.879 very often are the same weapons that the Ukrainians need. So these policies are 23 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:46.760 in direct conflict with one another, and he's literally using dead Israeli citizens to 24 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.680 sell the Ukraine policy. I think it's disgusting. I also think that, 25 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.359 what you know, there's something weird going on in the American left. And 26 00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.040 I wouldn't have said this twenty years ago, even, but every time the 27 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:06.319 great tragedy happens, they have to somehow assume that their own civilization is the 28 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.520 bad guy. So we're dealing again with a terrible terrorist attack for our ally 29 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:15.120 Israel, and Joe Biden is droning on about Islamophobia, which I'm sure happens 30 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.120 in a country of three hundred and thirty million people. But the idea is 31 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.319 that is a major problem in America today or was a major problem twenty years 32 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.360 ago. Is ridiculous. Why do these guys have to respond to tragedy by 33 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.400 blaming their own country. I don't get it, and it's just something else 34 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.879 that drives some how disconnected. This guy is Senator Vance. There appears to 35 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:42.599 be Hamas chapters on various college campuses. Hezblah has taken over control of much 36 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.360 of other college campuses and universities. They seemingly advocate the murder and rape of 37 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:53.360 Israeli citizens. The speech of Joe Biden should have spent most of the time 38 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.879 speaking about Iran. Iran is the head of the snake and some of their 39 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.280 Alkalites and Hesbla and Amas and all over the Middle East. The problem is 40 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.120 Iran. Thirty three months ago, Iran was on its back. Thirty three 41 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:12.639 months ago, there were protests and riots and demonstrations in Tehran, and all 42 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.280 of a sudden, they know they went through four years of the Trumpster denying 43 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.159 them ability to participate in economic markets. You couldn't sell oil. America was 44 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.719 energy independent in fact, we were exporting oil for profit, not importing it. 45 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.120 And so why didn't the president talk about much in a Reagan fashion? 46 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.159 And even Bill Clinton could give a speech if he had to. The speaking 47 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.360 skills of this president are non existent because of his mental deficiencies. But isn't 48 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.319 the major problemannounced by this president is Iran and what they seek to do, 49 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.319 and not necessarily anyone else. Iran is the problem in the Middle East. 50 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.599 Correct, That's exactly right, Willie. Iran is the problem. Of course 51 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.960 he didn't mention China either, but we know the Iranians are supporting Hamas. 52 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.159 When Joe Biden frees up six billion dollars of Iranian money, which he did 53 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.919 just a couple of months ago, we know that a lot of that money 54 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:11.280 will eventually flow to terrorist activity. And the reason he didn't talk about it, 55 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.199 Willy, I think it's because it opens up such an incredible line of 56 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.439 attack for Biden's own policies. The guy can't talk about Iran because if he 57 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.199 does, then everyone will say, well, hell, the Iranians are your 58 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:29.360 problem. You gave them money. So it just goes to show that unless 59 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.879 you show proper leadership, you open America up to a number of problems. 60 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.160 The other thing we have to talk about, Willie. When I criticized Joe 61 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.480 Biden for giving the Iranians six billion dollars unfreezing six billion dollars of Iranian money, 62 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.519 the pushback that I get as well. Biden has guaranteed that this will 63 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.519 only be used for humanitarian purposes. Well, that's very kind of the Iranians 64 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.480 to promise that when we give them six billion dollars they're only going to buy 65 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.079 food, medicine. But even if we assume that they catch that promise, 66 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.279 Willy, money is fungible. If I give you one hundred dollars and you 67 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.120 go and buy your office lunch, that frees up one hundred dollars you can 68 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.360 spend on other things. And this is the issue with giving the Iranians so 69 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.480 much money, is that we free up their resources to spend on terrorism. 70 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.079 In the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. Biden has to get serious about 71 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.560 Iran and until he does, the Israelis won't be safe, but more importantly, 72 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:25.439 American citizens all across the world won't be safe. Senator Vance, I 73 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:30.199 watched one of the morning shows, and the number of oil revenues in the 74 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.839 last thirty three months to Iran is in the range of one hundred billion dollars. 75 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:40.199 So the six billion supposedly is sitting in an account and cutter which I 76 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:45.279 cut her of course, host a moss leaders and opulent a glory. But 77 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.759 nonetheless the six billion is a tip of the iceberg because of the policies of 78 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:55.759 Joe Biden making America energy subservient to Russia and to Iran. Is that Iran 79 00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.279 has an extra one hundred billion dollars in oil revenues they otherwise would not have. 80 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.319 And secondly, can you make the moral equivalents that you have to package 81 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.040 these things together. We have to open up a new credit card and give 82 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:14.199 tens of billions to the fight against Russia in the Ukraine. We have to 83 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:19.199 give tens of billions of dollars to Gaza Palestinian for quote humanitarian purposes. We 84 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:24.000 have to give more money to Jordan when King Abdullah wouldn't even meet with our 85 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.120 president. We've got to give more money to Israel. In other words, 86 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.240 number one, do we have the money? Do we have just an extra 87 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:35.240 one hundred billion sitting around? And number two is there an equivalence between Ukraine 88 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:40.160 and Israel. Well, no, there isn't an equivalence, WILLI, and 89 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.360 this is the problem. But let's just focus on the numbers here, right. 90 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.160 So, look, we don't have the money. We need to be 91 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.560 much more careful with the resources that we spend. But I do to support 92 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:54.040 helping the Israelis out because when one of your most important allies face is a 93 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.639 terrible terrorist attack, I do think it's important for us to step up in 94 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.800 the same way that we would expect people to step up form after nine to 95 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.879 eleven. Now here's the thing, though, Willie, excuse me. Israel 96 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.519 is asking for a few billion dollars. So the President sent us a supplemental 97 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:15.040 budget request to the tune of one hundred billion dollars. The overwhelming majority of 98 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.959 it is going to Ukraine, which is another reason why connecting Ukraine and Israel 99 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.279 in this moment of crisis is extra disgraceful. He's not even giving the Israelis 100 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.199 that much money compared to what he's giving the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians will get 101 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.040 about fifteen times more money out of this package than the Israelis, so we 102 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.160 know what he's doing. He knows that Israel Is popular in America. His 103 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:41.519 Ukraine boondoggle is not popular in America, so he's trying to use Israel to 104 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.800 provide political cover for Ukraine. It's really disgraceful stuff, Willy. But to 105 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.759 your point, we do not have one hundred billion dollars to throw to Eastern 106 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:54.959 Europe right now. And the final point I make here, the issue you 107 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:59.199 raised about oil prices is so important, Willy, because look, obviously it 108 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.720 hurts American consumers when we're paying more of the pump, when we're paying more 109 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.279 to heat our homes. But when we empower the world's oil regimes, that 110 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:13.560 sends them billions of dollars that they wouldn't otherwise have to spend on terrorism. 111 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.319 So not only is he making all of us in America poor, he's making 112 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.000 the worst people in the world richer, and he's making the world more dangerous 113 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.319 in the process. It's a very very bad combination if you're an American citizen 114 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.639 who just wants to live in comfort and security in your own country. I 115 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.039 read a column Senator JD. Vance that this is the most perilous time America 116 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:39.759 has been in since the nineteen thirties. The column points out that Hesbelah is 117 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.240 not the hes Beealah of old. That Hesbela has one hundred and fifty thousand 118 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:50.600 missiles and rockets pointed at every major Israeli city. They have forty thousand bloodthirsty 119 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.559 terrorists ready to invade the North. The circumstance, and that Gaza has the 120 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.080 regular Israeli army. The IDF tied down their hand they got they got their 121 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.919 hands full. And so when you look at the Hesbela launching one hundred and 122 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:13.679 fifty thousand missiles artillery shells devastating Tel Aviv in every major Israeli city. You 123 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.559 have Vladimir Putin has just left communist Red China shijiaoping. They had a big 124 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:26.480 powwow. You have North Koreans supplying Hesbela and Hamas with large armaments because they 125 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.799 get the cash from Iran that we've given them because of the oil prices that 126 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.480 Iran is flushed with money. The North Koreans are now involved, the Russians 127 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.840 are involved, the communists, Red Chinese are involved. In the Middle East. 128 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.240 So called our friends, whether it's Egypt or Jordan, are not meeting 129 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.840 with our so called president. You put all that together and then you have 130 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.639 in the Congress and at least in the House, nothing but chaos. You 131 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.759 have the media launching on conservatives everywhere. You've been under vicious repertorial attacks because 132 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.120 you're not bending over completely when it comes to aid to the Ukraine. Just 133 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.799 inside baseball, you came to politics horizontally and not vertically, as kind of 134 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.120 a normal guy. And it's it's enlightening and freshening to me that I've been 135 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.519 at this for about forty years and normally when a new guy comes to politics, 136 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:22.679 they get they get stuck in the swamp with raising money and having fundraisers 137 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.480 and listening to the Washington elite and the Washington postcurring favor. And you're like 138 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.320 a fresh voice because you're not in the You're you're in the swamp, but 139 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.799 you're not of the swamp. Inside baseball when you talk to fellow senators, 140 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.279 is there a real fear that America is being sucked into World War three? 141 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.320 Look, Willie, I hate to say it, but yes, there is 142 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.320 a very precarious sense among people that I trust You're right, Willie. I 143 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.759 try to stay apart from the swamp as much as possible, and among the 144 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.399 best and smartest people in Washington, there is a recognition number one that we 145 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.279 are ruled by idiots, and we're ruled by idiots in a moment of extreme 146 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.919 crisis for the world. We have to be careful of here, Willy, 147 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:09.080 is to recognize that we are being stretched very thin, and our enemies recognize 148 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.320 this. And unfortunately we have built a world system of alliances where we don't 149 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:18.360 really have allies, Willy, we have client states. Think about how little 150 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.039 the Europeans are doing in Ukraine. Even if you support the Ukrainians, why 151 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.120 aren't the Europeans doing more because than their backyard. So we have a lot 152 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.320 of dependent nations. We have very few real allies. Israel's actually one of 153 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.000 our few real allies in the world, people who actually step up and take 154 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.559 care of themselves. But also where we share interests and values. And I 155 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.240 think what we need to do, Willy, to really protect our interests over 156 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.759 the long term is we need to recognize that we need real allies out there. 157 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.759 I think India could become a very important ally of the future, but 158 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.559 Joe Biden's policy is pushing them more into the arms of the Russians of the 159 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.759 Chinese. I think that we could have some very serious allies in Africa, 160 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.840 Nigerian and so forth. But again, the Chinese are cultivating relationships in Africa. 161 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.240 This is a period that's going to require real statesmanship, Willie, You're 162 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.240 right. The closest comparison we have is the nineteen thirties, and we got 163 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.679 out of that crisis because we had real leadership on both sides of the Aisle. 164 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.440 We're going to need that over the next ten to fifteen years because this 165 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.600 is a dangerous time for our country. But look, I'm an internal optimist 166 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.799 about our country, Willy. I think we need statesmen right now, and 167 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.840 I'm gonna try as much as possible to play my role. All right, 168 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.120 Senator j d Vance, thank you very much. It would have been refreshing 169 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:35.080 if Biden has spoke about the southern border when Islamic terrorists are coming across the 170 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.200 southern border. It would have been interesting to say, look, my policy 171 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.399 and energy dependency is now over. We're gonna pump, we're gonna drill, 172 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.240 we're gonna drive Iran into the bankruptcy court with the money. We're going to 173 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.120 keep them out of international monetary systems. None of that happened. If you 174 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.159 don't support him in the Ukraine. Guess what, you're a potent apologist. 175 00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:00.279 And I didn't see the great ideas about our great friend Israel. Who us 176 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:05.480 survive? They must exist. There's two of God's representatives on Mother Earth, 177 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.440 that is the United States of America and Israel. And when we have a 178 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:16.279 mentally deficient president not speaking about Iran, and somehow we've given one hundred billion 179 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.720 dollars to Ukraine, that's not enough, and he's going to hook the Israeli 180 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.879 aid to the Ukrainian aid also aid to everyone else. When we don't have 181 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.840 the money. It's sickening. And Senator jd Vance, once again, thank 182 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.360 you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and please stay true to your 183 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.440 principles that you went into office with. Thanksfully, take care all right, 184 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.960 God bless you. Let's continue. That's Senator jd Vance and the barbarians are 185 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.840 at the gates. It's obvious if we had a functioning president, we would 186 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.759 shut down the southern border, send the army in this country to the southern 187 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.840 border. It must be stopped what's happening there. Secondly, we must drill 188 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.879 and pump oil and use pipelines to crash the price of oil through the basement 189 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.519 so that Iran and others are enemies. Russia are not getting oil revenues. 190 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.639 That indirectly and directly, every policy of Joe Biden has enhanced the power of 191 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.080 Russia and Iran at our expense, and that is sickening. Let's continue with 192 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.639 more coming up later will be the great Tricia Mackey of Fox nineteen and also 193 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:24.559 Tim Graham of nenewsbusters dot org about media bias, how it's driving America into 194 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:30.320 the ditch.
