By Billy Cunningham. The great American Bernie Marino yesterday won eighty eight counties in
the state of Ohio. A year or two ago, he was completely unknown
by the time election took place. Yesterday, he walked in the shoes to
JD. Vans coming horizontally to the game of politics and Bernie Marino, welcome
again to the Bill Cunningham Show as US Senate to designate. And Bernie,
first of all, can you give me the one or two reasons you think
you had such a magnanimous victory in eighty eight counties, which many said would
be almost impossible. How did that happen? Well, you mean other than
the last minute appearance on the Abdill Cunningham Show. But that was important.
I'm sure that was a factor on Monday, but it must be saying give
me reasons two and three, then there you go. Well, my wife
and I spent ten months putting one hundred thousand miles in a car. We
drove to every county in Ohio multiple times, met with people, listened.
This is important. We listened to what people wanted and what they told us.
They wanted people who stood up for the for the beliefs that they said
they were going to do. They were going to go to Washington's DC to
get those things done. They were sick of career politicians and they wanted people
who actually would go there, serve and then come home. And that was
the central theme of my campaign. We worked really hard, We had a
great team, and I got to say, of course, big shout out
to President Trump. His endorsement made a huge difference, quite decisive. His
rally on Saturday clinched the deal. You know that endorsement is probably the most
powerful political endorsement in political history. And very honored to have it. And
now it's on to beat. As I say, Bill, we have to
retire the old commune now, no question. Because Sharon Brown is running these
great commercials, which I encourage, by the way, about how I help
want a burn ped or how I helped get somebody get a pension back.
I want to know, how about the southern border, how about the collapse
of our major cities. How about child trafficking on the southern border, how
about kids in cages? How about smash and grab robberies all over the country,
especially in major cities, including here in Cincinnati. How about those issues
and the issue. There's no answer for that other than to change direction of
where we're headed. Did you have a telephone call with your two opponents,
Matt and Frank And how did that go? They did? They both called
me. They were both extremely gracious. I thank them for running a spirited
campaign. They I thanked Frank for his service to this country. And we
will, all three of us be one hundred percent united with the entirety of
the Republican Party to defeat share a Bown because that's the mission. That's what
we're going to focus on for the next seven and a half months, and
we'll make it happen. We're going to win decisively in November, and then
most importantly, then we get into office in January and start going through the
to do list, which we will make happen. I did a little die
tribe about a half an hour ago about the country is in a gigantic mess,
and I say, voters asked for it. You cannot in the city
of Chicago, for example, go through the four years of Beetlejuice also known
as Lightfoot, and then elect someone more liberal. You cannot be in New
York City and say, hey, they're smashing grabs all over the city.
There's defecation, urination, fornication, drug use on city sidewalks, and then
just keeping power the same people. And so when someone says to me,
Bernie Marino doesn't know about politics, Bernie Marino hasn't paid his dues. Bernie
Marino has never held any other political office. Bernie Marino has not been vetted
before. How would you respond to the fact that you're a neophyte when it
comes to politics and you're about to become one of the most powerful men in
the country. Well, that's a feature, not a bug. I take
that all as a badge of honor, as a compliment, because look at
the people who do know supposedly what they're doing. They've destroyed this country,
right, So we need people from the outside to go there and say,
hey, you guys may think this makes sense, but letting ten million people
come into this country illegallyves down working class wages, drives up housing costs,
food cost, energy costs. You look at every aspect of what illegal immigration
does. It's a disaster. And what's the answer in DC, Well,
let's let some illegal immigration happen as some sort of compromise. No, it's
zero zero bill. We're not going to allow anybody to enter this country illegally.
But the political class in DC thinks that what I just said is crazy.
So not being corrupted by the corrupt system is actually the badge of honor
ill continue to wear versus a guy who's been corrupted by his entire life.
And that's share it Brown. As far as the history of Bernie Marino,
I've was present for one of your speeches about three or four months ago.
I think the great majority of the American people who didn't vote yesterday, and
it's kind of sad we had about a fifteen percent turnout. Either all the
American people are very happy with the way things are, or they've given up
and say I can't rely upon the political system solve any of my problems.
Tell the American people a little bit about your history, where you came from,
the businesses you built, the family you have, that kind of stuff.
Well, I was born in Columbia, South America, the youngest of
seven kid. My dad was one of eleven, my grandfather was one of
twenty three, so were over performing Catholics. We moved to the US just
my fifth birthday. My parents gave up a great life in South America to
come to the US for a very different life. My dad came here to
the US making five dollars and twenty five cents an hour as a surgical assistant.
My mom and dad insisted that we worked from the moment we could.
That meant delivering newspapers, bagging groceries, doing landscaping, being a bus boy.
I got to Ohio about twenty the body of the bill turned into one
of the large the groups in the country sold that technology companusing block day to
make titling prostigue or actually now launching a Conneticut. And I'm sorry. In
Kentucky, I've sold interests in every business. I don't have any individual stocks
because I think it's important to set an example. When you go to DC,
you should have zero conflicts of interest. You should not go to DC
and then leave DC wealthier than when you got there. And that's an extremely
important part of my campaign. It's about serving the country. This is what
I'm called to do because the greatest gift I ever got was getting the privilege.
It is a privilege to come to the United States of America and live
my American dream. And that's what I want for my kids, my grandkids,
your kids, and your grandkids. Much like Donald Trump. When I
think about American entrepreneurs, and you certainly have been one. With all the
car dealerships you built. You started at the bottom, ended up with a
couple dozen you sold. But I look back in American history. You know,
Henry Ford build cars for commoners, not for the nobility, not for
the rich people. He wanted us. He wanted his factory workers to be
able to buy a brand new model A. That was Henry Ford and Steve
Jobs created iPhones for all of us on my left job an iPhone. You
have an iPhone, not for government elites. And I think about the thousand
of products in local grocery stores. I went to Kroger last night late to
pick up a few items or shopping well, each of these products represent in
the sense, an entrepreneur striving to meet needs of the American people to achieve
their success. It's the benevolence of capitalism. It's the fact that individuals like
you could come from Columbia, which now is a terrible place in which to
live, to come illegally to the American dreams. Start at the bottom,
build yourself up, and really the essence of it is you have to depend
upon the natural desire of people to better their lives, channeling their natural energies
to focusing on the needs of others. You succeed in life not by looking
at yourself, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, by looking at others. And
how can I satisfy the needs of others, which is the brilliance of capital,
which is being certainly, certainly diminished in people in socialist countries. They
stand in inevitable breadlines and they wait for gas or government ration healthcare. That's
not the United States of America. You've led that life by supplying the needs
of others, not by looking at yourself. And then you've done it in
such a good way you're able to cash out your ticket. And you made
a great statement to me on Monday about a two term. I've had many
Americans tell me we need term limits. What is your term limit? Which
I'm going to play later on, maybe in twelve years, if I'm still
here and you want to go for a third term or a fourth term like
Shared Brown, what is your promise to the American people? Well, as
I was a rating, he passed, the thing went dead. That was
a great speech. I was givin Dave, would you call him back and
see if he's a see if he can hear what I said. But essentially,
America will succeed capitalistically because people like Bernie Marino, not because of people
like Shared Brown, and so inevitably in these other left wing countries they ration
out products because they're not in a capitalistic system. And I think, Bernie
Marina, you're back. Did you hear the essence of my comments about serving
the needs of others? And maybe a term limit. I've had many of
my buddies, like John Kraft to craft Electrics saying we need term limits.
What is your thoughts about term limits? Absolutely, I'm the chair of US
term Limits for Ohio, and as I say, Bill, it may just
make it clearer. I will serve two terms and I'm coming home. My
wife says it even clearer. She says, third term, second wife.
So that's not going to happen. So in twelve years from now, you'll
have a successful run. You won't seek a third or fourth term like Shared
Brown is doing. He spent his entire life in politics. Before that,
he spent time as a state office holder. What is your position let's go
over two or three things. Aid to Israel, aid to the Ukraine,
letting five thousand illegals a day come into the country, which is a Biden
plan before something clicks in, what's your position on a the one hundred and
twenty billion dollars, Well, we should not bundle those things because they have
nothing to do with each other. We're going to support Israel. Israel's our
greatest ally. The money that we give Israel benefits of America. We're not
going to continue to fund Ukraine because Ukraine is we're funding a bloody stalemate that
is leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Europeans. We're going to
drive towards a peaceful settlement there that retains Ukraine as an independent nation. Pushes
back on Putin, who's the aggressor. And then on Taiwan. We're going
to make it clear that with President Trump that China is not going to act
on Taiwan. They're going to see that we have peace through strength on our
border. We're going to have a zero tolerance for illegal immigration. Not one
person can come into this country illegally, and if you're in this country illegally,
you will be deported. That is extraordinarily important for us to do,
because we cannot be a nation unless we have sovereignty, and you cannot sovereignty
unless you control who comes in and out of your country. Alight, what
is your position on life issues? I'm a practicing Roman Catholic for the moment
of conception through natural death. The Trumpster appears to be going to a position
of a fourteen or fifteen week ban, which is popular with the American people,
not popular with me. What is Bernie Marino's position on abortion? Well,
the Dobs move this issue predominantly to the states. I think what we've
got to focus on is where we have consensus on this issue, bill and
I think we can consensus around no federal funding for abortion, meaning no money
for planned parenthood. We can fund pregnancy centers and help women before, during,
and after birth. We can make certain that adoption is more available.
We have to make certain that we have the economic conditions that have women make
the decision to have a baby, which means it's less expensive to have the
child, that's expensive to raise the child, and make certain women have equal
access to contraception, have access to good healthcare. But I do think there
can be a federal standard where after fifteen weeks there are some common sense restrictions,
so we do not have elective late term abortions as a national standard.
That would put us in line with even the most left wing European nations.
But Bill, we're also going to point out that my opponent, Sharon Brown,
is an absolute radical extremist on abortion. He believes abortions should be allowed
to the moment of birth. He believes that we should have full federal funding
plant parenthood and these abortion bills, and he voted against the Infant Born a
Live Protection Act, which said that in a botched abortion, the doctors are
to let that baby die in a cold metal table, not give the baby
life saving care. This is a person who's completely been radicalized on this,
and we're going to point that out. Wouldn't it be great if the mainstream
media focused on democratic positions on abortion through birth and including and Born Alive Baby
Act. It's incredible that we have hundreds of thousands of healthy mothers killing healthy
babies every year in this country, healthy mothers, healthy babies, the abortion
mill and the government largely funds it. It is disgusting. Secondly, Thirdly,
Fourthly, we borrow one trillion dollars every one hundred days of brand new
money. What is your thought on eliminating the idea that we live on debt
passed on to our kids, Because at some point we're going to have a
come to Jesus meeting and we're going to have hyperinflation or renouncing of the national
debt, which right now is thirty four trillion dollars plus. How do we
stop borrowing every one hundred days one trillion dollars of new money. Well,
we have to do what every household in Ohio does. We have to prioritize
what we can do with the money that we do have, and recognize that
we spent four hundred and fifty one billion dollars last year taking care of the
leagal immigrants. That should be zero. We should not give millions, hundreds
of millions of dollars in countries that hate us. They'll hate us for free.
We have to make certain that we don't pay millions of Americans who can
work not to work. And we have to get rid of some of these
federal agencies that have gotten massively bloated. In the Department of Education needs to
go. We have to take a hard look at atf there's a lot of
bloat in the federal bureaucracy. We have to make it more efficient and massively
cut the scale of government. If not, we're going to go bankrupt,
and we'll leave this country to our kids and grandkids in a place that's not
even recognizable. Lastly, Bernie Marino, the Democratic plan is to increase taxes
on American businesses. They tell American business owners, as you used to be,
Number one, we're going to raise your taxes. Number two, you
must pay all your employees amendmum of twenty bucks an hour. Number three,
you have to provide fringe benefits, including paid family and medical leave for small
and large business owners. And number four, guess what, We're going to
make it harder to sell your products. And by the way, this one,
I'll cause inflation. So when you tell a business owner, we're going
to grossly increase the cost of production and don't pass that on to your customers
in the form of higher prices, We're going to come after you. Is
that well it shouldn't surprise us, though, because these are people who have
no idea how the economy, capitalism, or business works. So they're a
disaster. But we're going to point out is that Sharon Brown, who pretends
to be somebody in the side at the working class, is a guy that
just today is sitting idle. Why Biden is forcing these electric vehicle mandates.
They're going to guid our auto industry, have us lose thousands of good paying
union jobs, and so you can't be in the side of the working class
when everything that you vote for hurts those very people. As we speak,
there's a huge electric vehicle factory being erected by the communist red Chinese in Mexico.
They want to collapse the American automobile industry and send all those UAW jobs
south to Mexico. And the Trumpster said, my first day in office,
I'm going to put a one hundred percent tariff on cars from Mexico made in
that ev factory, and we can't have it. Well, Bernie Marino,
good luck to you. You're in an incredible campaign. I say came out
of nowhere. If somebody a year ago had told the great American there's a
guy named Bernie Marino, I said, Weekends with Bernie. Bernie Marino is
going to be the US Senate I would have said, Bernie who Now we
know it's Bernie Marino from the Nation of Columbia. A legal imm are gonna
came here, put to work, thousands and thousands of people, sold tens
of thousands of vehicles, cashed out his ticket, and now is going to
serve the American people weekend at Bernie's Bernie Marino, once again, thank you
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Into the month said we'll do it
again. Thank you, Bernie, Thank you Bill. God bless America.
I let's continue with more. Does that guy make sense or what I would
hope you would say? So? To continue the status quo anticipating different results
is the definition of insanity. To continue with a Bernie Sanders lookalike shared Brown,
acting as if we continue on the same course anticipating different votes ain't gonna
happen. Let's continue with more if line becomes a five, three, seven,
four, nine, seven thousand. Of course, after two o'clock today,
I have an expert on the Southern border, a documentarian who's gonna lay
it out what's happening on the Southern You might recall when Trump was in office,
kids in cages, unfairness, everywhere. We're going to spend a billion
dollars on climate change mitigation in Mexico and now look where we are anticipating changes
with the same cast of characters. Is the definition of insanity. Let's continue
with more Bill Hunning and the Grand American with you every day at Showman,
The Reds, and so much more. News Radio seven hundred WW on College
