That's the dollar. Enter it now. Bill Cunningham, the Great American,
Welcome this glorious at Randy Friday afternoon the tri State. Later on as Tim
Graham of Media Research Center in gren Bozel, plus the Life and Times at
Tricia Mackie celebrating thirty years at Fox nineteen. But until then, Senator JD.
Vance, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Senator, first
of all, can I get your reaction to the President's speech spending another one
hundred billion dollars of a new credit card. We're going to open up and
max that out quickly, and whether or not that any restraints are put on
the money's given to the Ukraine or to Israel. First of all, Senator,
what is your reaction to the President's speech? Well, first of all,
I thought it was a disgraceful speech, and I don't say that lightly,
Willie. I watched show Biden give speeches for a couple of years.
I've been unhappy with a lot of them, but yesterday I think he crossed
a totally new line of grossness. We have to remember, of course,
that our Israeli friends just had the worst terrorist attack in their nation's history,
which is saying something fifteen hundred people dead, some of them Americans, of
course, most of them are Israelis, and Joe Biden basically tried to use
the Israeli tragedy to sell something thousands of miles away, which is further funding
for his Ukraine conflict. Now we have to remember, of course, that
the Ukraine War is fundamentally different from the Israeli conflict. It involves different actors,
it involves different American national security interests. The weapons the Israelis need actually
very often are the same weapons that the Ukrainians need. So these policies are
in direct conflict with one another, and he's literally using dead Israeli citizens to
sell the Ukraine policy. I think it's disgusting. I also think that,
what you know, there's something weird going on in the American left. And
I wouldn't have said this twenty years ago, even, but every time the
great tragedy happens, they have to somehow assume that their own civilization is the
bad guy. So we're dealing again with a terrible terrorist attack for our ally
Israel, and Joe Biden is droning on about Islamophobia, which I'm sure happens
in a country of three hundred and thirty million people. But the idea is
that is a major problem in America today or was a major problem twenty years
ago. Is ridiculous. Why do these guys have to respond to tragedy by
blaming their own country. I don't get it, and it's just something else
that drives some how disconnected. This guy is Senator Vance. There appears to
be Hamas chapters on various college campuses. Hezblah has taken over control of much
of other college campuses and universities. They seemingly advocate the murder and rape of
Israeli citizens. The speech of Joe Biden should have spent most of the time
speaking about Iran. Iran is the head of the snake and some of their
Alkalites and Hesbla and Amas and all over the Middle East. The problem is
Iran. Thirty three months ago, Iran was on its back. Thirty three
months ago, there were protests and riots and demonstrations in Tehran, and all
of a sudden, they know they went through four years of the Trumpster denying
them ability to participate in economic markets. You couldn't sell oil. America was
energy independent in fact, we were exporting oil for profit, not importing it.
And so why didn't the president talk about much in a Reagan fashion?
And even Bill Clinton could give a speech if he had to. The speaking
skills of this president are non existent because of his mental deficiencies. But isn't
the major problemannounced by this president is Iran and what they seek to do,
and not necessarily anyone else. Iran is the problem in the Middle East.
Correct, That's exactly right, Willie. Iran is the problem. Of course
he didn't mention China either, but we know the Iranians are supporting Hamas.
When Joe Biden frees up six billion dollars of Iranian money, which he did
just a couple of months ago, we know that a lot of that money
will eventually flow to terrorist activity. And the reason he didn't talk about it,
Willy, I think it's because it opens up such an incredible line of
attack for Biden's own policies. The guy can't talk about Iran because if he
does, then everyone will say, well, hell, the Iranians are your
problem. You gave them money. So it just goes to show that unless
you show proper leadership, you open America up to a number of problems.
The other thing we have to talk about, Willie. When I criticized Joe
Biden for giving the Iranians six billion dollars unfreezing six billion dollars of Iranian money,
the pushback that I get as well. Biden has guaranteed that this will
only be used for humanitarian purposes. Well, that's very kind of the Iranians
to promise that when we give them six billion dollars they're only going to buy
food, medicine. But even if we assume that they catch that promise,
Willy, money is fungible. If I give you one hundred dollars and you
go and buy your office lunch, that frees up one hundred dollars you can
spend on other things. And this is the issue with giving the Iranians so
much money, is that we free up their resources to spend on terrorism.
In the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. Biden has to get serious about
Iran and until he does, the Israelis won't be safe, but more importantly,
American citizens all across the world won't be safe. Senator Vance, I
watched one of the morning shows, and the number of oil revenues in the
last thirty three months to Iran is in the range of one hundred billion dollars.
So the six billion supposedly is sitting in an account and cutter which I
cut her of course, host a moss leaders and opulent a glory. But
nonetheless the six billion is a tip of the iceberg because of the policies of
Joe Biden making America energy subservient to Russia and to Iran. Is that Iran
has an extra one hundred billion dollars in oil revenues they otherwise would not have.
And secondly, can you make the moral equivalents that you have to package
these things together. We have to open up a new credit card and give
tens of billions to the fight against Russia in the Ukraine. We have to
give tens of billions of dollars to Gaza Palestinian for quote humanitarian purposes. We
have to give more money to Jordan when King Abdullah wouldn't even meet with our
president. We've got to give more money to Israel. In other words,
number one, do we have the money? Do we have just an extra
one hundred billion sitting around? And number two is there an equivalence between Ukraine
and Israel. Well, no, there isn't an equivalence, WILLI, and
this is the problem. But let's just focus on the numbers here, right.
So, look, we don't have the money. We need to be
much more careful with the resources that we spend. But I do to support
helping the Israelis out because when one of your most important allies face is a
terrible terrorist attack, I do think it's important for us to step up in
the same way that we would expect people to step up form after nine to
eleven. Now here's the thing, though, Willie, excuse me. Israel
is asking for a few billion dollars. So the President sent us a supplemental
budget request to the tune of one hundred billion dollars. The overwhelming majority of
it is going to Ukraine, which is another reason why connecting Ukraine and Israel
in this moment of crisis is extra disgraceful. He's not even giving the Israelis
that much money compared to what he's giving the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians will get
about fifteen times more money out of this package than the Israelis, so we
know what he's doing. He knows that Israel Is popular in America. His
Ukraine boondoggle is not popular in America, so he's trying to use Israel to
provide political cover for Ukraine. It's really disgraceful stuff, Willy. But to
your point, we do not have one hundred billion dollars to throw to Eastern
Europe right now. And the final point I make here, the issue you
raised about oil prices is so important, Willy, because look, obviously it
hurts American consumers when we're paying more of the pump, when we're paying more
to heat our homes. But when we empower the world's oil regimes, that
sends them billions of dollars that they wouldn't otherwise have to spend on terrorism.
So not only is he making all of us in America poor, he's making
the worst people in the world richer, and he's making the world more dangerous
in the process. It's a very very bad combination if you're an American citizen
who just wants to live in comfort and security in your own country. I
read a column Senator JD. Vance that this is the most perilous time America
has been in since the nineteen thirties. The column points out that Hesbelah is
not the hes Beealah of old. That Hesbela has one hundred and fifty thousand
missiles and rockets pointed at every major Israeli city. They have forty thousand bloodthirsty
terrorists ready to invade the North. The circumstance, and that Gaza has the
regular Israeli army. The IDF tied down their hand they got they got their
hands full. And so when you look at the Hesbela launching one hundred and
fifty thousand missiles artillery shells devastating Tel Aviv in every major Israeli city. You
have Vladimir Putin has just left communist Red China shijiaoping. They had a big
powwow. You have North Koreans supplying Hesbela and Hamas with large armaments because they
get the cash from Iran that we've given them because of the oil prices that
Iran is flushed with money. The North Koreans are now involved, the Russians
are involved, the communists, Red Chinese are involved. In the Middle East.
So called our friends, whether it's Egypt or Jordan, are not meeting
with our so called president. You put all that together and then you have
in the Congress and at least in the House, nothing but chaos. You
have the media launching on conservatives everywhere. You've been under vicious repertorial attacks because
you're not bending over completely when it comes to aid to the Ukraine. Just
inside baseball, you came to politics horizontally and not vertically, as kind of
a normal guy. And it's it's enlightening and freshening to me that I've been
at this for about forty years and normally when a new guy comes to politics,
they get they get stuck in the swamp with raising money and having fundraisers
and listening to the Washington elite and the Washington postcurring favor. And you're like
a fresh voice because you're not in the You're you're in the swamp, but
you're not of the swamp. Inside baseball when you talk to fellow senators,
is there a real fear that America is being sucked into World War three?
Look, Willie, I hate to say it, but yes, there is
a very precarious sense among people that I trust You're right, Willie. I
try to stay apart from the swamp as much as possible, and among the
best and smartest people in Washington, there is a recognition number one that we
are ruled by idiots, and we're ruled by idiots in a moment of extreme
crisis for the world. We have to be careful of here, Willy,
is to recognize that we are being stretched very thin, and our enemies recognize
this. And unfortunately we have built a world system of alliances where we don't
really have allies, Willy, we have client states. Think about how little
the Europeans are doing in Ukraine. Even if you support the Ukrainians, why
aren't the Europeans doing more because than their backyard. So we have a lot
of dependent nations. We have very few real allies. Israel's actually one of
our few real allies in the world, people who actually step up and take
care of themselves. But also where we share interests and values. And I
think what we need to do, Willy, to really protect our interests over
the long term is we need to recognize that we need real allies out there.
I think India could become a very important ally of the future, but
Joe Biden's policy is pushing them more into the arms of the Russians of the
Chinese. I think that we could have some very serious allies in Africa,
Nigerian and so forth. But again, the Chinese are cultivating relationships in Africa.
This is a period that's going to require real statesmanship, Willie, You're
right. The closest comparison we have is the nineteen thirties, and we got
out of that crisis because we had real leadership on both sides of the Aisle.
We're going to need that over the next ten to fifteen years because this
is a dangerous time for our country. But look, I'm an internal optimist
about our country, Willy. I think we need statesmen right now, and
I'm gonna try as much as possible to play my role. All right,
Senator j d Vance, thank you very much. It would have been refreshing
if Biden has spoke about the southern border when Islamic terrorists are coming across the
southern border. It would have been interesting to say, look, my policy
and energy dependency is now over. We're gonna pump, we're gonna drill,
we're gonna drive Iran into the bankruptcy court with the money. We're going to
keep them out of international monetary systems. None of that happened. If you
don't support him in the Ukraine. Guess what, you're a potent apologist.
And I didn't see the great ideas about our great friend Israel. Who us
survive? They must exist. There's two of God's representatives on Mother Earth,
that is the United States of America and Israel. And when we have a
mentally deficient president not speaking about Iran, and somehow we've given one hundred billion
dollars to Ukraine, that's not enough, and he's going to hook the Israeli
aid to the Ukrainian aid also aid to everyone else. When we don't have
the money. It's sickening. And Senator jd Vance, once again, thank
you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and please stay true to your
principles that you went into office with. Thanksfully, take care all right,
God bless you. Let's continue. That's Senator jd Vance and the barbarians are
at the gates. It's obvious if we had a functioning president, we would
shut down the southern border, send the army in this country to the southern
border. It must be stopped what's happening there. Secondly, we must drill
and pump oil and use pipelines to crash the price of oil through the basement
so that Iran and others are enemies. Russia are not getting oil revenues.
That indirectly and directly, every policy of Joe Biden has enhanced the power of
Russia and Iran at our expense, and that is sickening. Let's continue with
