WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.839 I Billy Cunningham, the great American Wark on mister Laria's tenth afternoon of the 2 00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:07.799 tri State. Of course, Red's win last night, unbelievable victory back out 3 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:10.880 of the night, starting about six ten, first picture about eight ten. 4 00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.720 Also later this afternoon was of course we're going to go to ABC News live 5 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:19.399 coverage of the so called Trump indictment, the arrest things of that character, 6 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:24.399 and my comments, and that'll come up later on. But first of all, 7 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.399 joining you and I alis the great senator from the state of Kentucky. 8 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.280 I consider him to be the best senator from the state of Kentucky. Senator 9 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.439 Ran Paul and Senator Ran Paul, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. 10 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.600 And before we go much further, a few days ago, I saw the 11 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.880 World Health Organization had selected North Korea to put on the Executive Committee of the 12 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:51.200 World Health Organization. I think about Anthony Fauci. I think about a human 13 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.759 rights violator, a mass murderer, North Korea, the World Health Organization, 14 00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.520 and I think about your new book coming out in October. This set the 15 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.359 great COVID cover up. First of all, give me your reaction to the 16 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:08.640 World Health Organization in which doctor Anthony Fauci had a large role to play. 17 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:15.000 Selecting North Korea to be part of its executive committee sort of seems par for 18 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.120 the course. If you read through the writings of Anthony Fauci and others that 19 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.359 have been involved with public health in our country, it really is a long 20 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:30.959 narrative of them fawning over Chinese totalitarianism or North Korean totalitarianism. They think that 21 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:36.959 independence and the individuality of Americans gets in the way of the conformity they need. 22 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.280 Really, it is about submission and conformity of these people. They don't 23 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.040 want you to think. In fact, you remember with the Twitter files, 24 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.959 it was found out that they wanted to suppress knowledge even if it was found 25 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.560 to be true, even if someone did die from a complication, which is 26 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.680 rare. But let's say someone died from a complication from COVID, admittedly rare, 27 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.799 but if they did, they wanted it to be suppressed in the news 28 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.799 because they thought that even the truth was something that could get in the way 29 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.120 of submission. So I'm not surprised. I do think that Anthony Fauci, 30 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.879 though, is guilty of probably the greatest cover up in modern history, and 31 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.360 it began really early on in January of twenty twenty. This is from the 32 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.599 very moment they knew this was going on. He was like, holy cal, 33 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.000 I've been funding that lab and he knew it. He knew it immediately. 34 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.680 An email show that he knew that he had been funding the lab where 35 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.599 an all likelihood desvirus came from. And wuhan, can you tell the American 36 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.759 people going back in time? Because you're a doctor also that why is it 37 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.960 in the interests of the United States taxpayer and I guess our medical authorities to 38 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:46.280 fund lab and communists read China going back before the Fall and Winner of twenty 39 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.719 nineteen twenty twenty, why what's the purpose to do that? As a medical 40 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.919 doctor? Why do that? There are people and Anthony Fauci is one who 41 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.800 say that gain of function research where you juice up a virus, you mix 42 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.560 two viruses together and it gains in potency. That's studying. That may be 43 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.560 studying what happens in nature is evolved and can attack humans. But the other 44 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.120 side of the coin is that they're creating viruses that never would have existed in 45 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.960 nature because nature is random and its evolution of viruses. Now we're doing it 46 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.479 directed by man, and you're coming up with viruses that never would have occurred, 47 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.639 and also potentially coming up with a mixture of viruses that could be incredibly 48 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.800 deadly fifty percent mortality, five percent mortality, thirty percent mortality. And so 49 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.599 many of us think this is a fool's error and anywhere, whether you're doing 50 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.280 it in the United States or overseas, but if you're doing this dangerous research 51 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.560 and then you're doing it in an opaque society, a totalitarian society like China, 52 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.360 that you really are risking real problems. And as I've gotten into this, 53 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.120 and as we've begun to uncover this cover up, what we have found 54 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:58.479 out is that the NIH is also funding US universities that were then subcontracting and 55 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.120 sending the funds not just a civilian research, but to do military research in 56 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:08.479 China. There are actually NIH grants that went to University of California, Irvine, 57 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.479 Berkeley, UC Davis. These schools were then subcontracting and sending it to 58 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:20.040 military the Academy of Military Medical Science Research, where the scientists actually have titles 59 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:27.120 such as general and colonel in the People's Liberation Communist Party Army. So kind 60 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.600 of in theory. The idea is to use communist red China labs like in 61 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:35.040 Wulan, because American labs may have too many standards after all, but let's 62 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.680 do it in communist red China. Let's spend tens of millions of dollars to 63 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:45.279 create these terrible viruses that have maybe a fifty eighty ninety percent death rate as 64 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.120 opposed to COVID nineteen that was about one percent or less than one percent. 65 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:53.759 Because just in case these things do emerge in nature down the road, we'll 66 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.720 have the resolution is that the theory, it's the theory. There also is 67 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.560 the argument that most the coronavirus has come from bat caves in China, so 68 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.319 they said, we do the research over there because that's where the bats are. 69 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.480 But it's a little more complicated than that. They were going about eight 70 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:13.319 hours by car south of Luhan into southern China to these bat caves, going 71 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.800 one couple hundred feet underground, finding bats and viruses that had never interacted with 72 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:23.040 band and then driving them back eight hours and introducing them into a city of 73 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.800 fifteen million. And I still think this was an accident, but I think 74 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.279 it was a terrible risk to take to take viruses from a very very rural, 75 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.639 remote cave a couple hundred feet under ground and take them to a city 76 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:40.680 of fifteen million with an international airport. So I think it was incredibly foolish 77 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.199 and full hearted to do this, and I'm not alone. Actually, even 78 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.439 some of Fauci's friends have criticized this thing. Bill Gates is a big supporter 79 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.959 of this. He wants to identify all the viruses in the world, and 80 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.000 the theory is if we identify them all, we'll find it cure them. 81 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.639 But what we've done so far is we've identified many thousand new ones. They 82 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.519 may well have released one of them in Wuhan accidentally, but there's no evidence 83 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.600 that they've developed any vaccines or cures from this. The vaccine that was developed 84 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:12.639 for COVID nineteen was developed very quickly, but was developed after they recognized that 85 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.360 it was a pathogen, not before. In fact, a Senator Ran Paul, 86 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.120 You've also pointed on I'm one of those weird guys that I'll watch a 87 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.319 c SPAN hearing, and I love when you go after Anthony Faucci, who, 88 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.680 by the way, has since retired of writing books, making millions of 89 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:34.240 dollars. You've pointed out that doctor Anthony Fauci himself likely have made millions of 90 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:39.959 dollars in person because of investments. Can you explain that to the American people? 91 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.920 Well, we don't know for sure is what he has made in royalties, 92 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.079 and we don't know if he's made money from the royalties from the company's 93 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.639 making the vaccines. But I have asked him the question. And when I 94 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.319 asked him whether or not anybody on the committee himself or anybody on the committee 95 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.959 approving the vaccines, whether any of them had made money from Faiza or Maderna, 96 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.079 he wouldn't answer. Basically said it was none of my business and none 97 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:05.600 of the American public's business. He said a law in the nineteen eighties prevented 98 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.319 him and told him he did not have to reveal that. Now we've read 99 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.560 that law, we disagree with the interpretation. We think they do have to 100 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.560 reveal it. But the Biden administration has protected them. So whether or not 101 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.959 he's made millions and royalties, I don't know. I do know that it's 102 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:25.240 been publicly reported that his wealth during COVID went from seven million to twelve million. 103 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.319 I don't know that he made that from pharmaceutical companies, but I knew 104 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.279 he's done very well in the forty year service. He made more money than 105 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.639 the president on an annual basis. His wife also made two hundred and fifty 106 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.639 thousand, so together they were making about thousand without loyalties, just from the 107 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:45.040 government. And the problem is his tenure was so long in government that he 108 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:50.519 had such a disproportionate amount of power that he's basically created the situation. And 109 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:57.360 probably the number one thing he did that is illegal immoral was devastating. He 110 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.199 took the virus that was going on in Wuhan and it didn't go to the 111 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.759 committee. There was a committee set up to study dangerous research and approve or 112 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:09.040 disapprove of it. The research at Huhan never went there because Fauscie granted them 113 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.720 an exception, and so he allowed an exemption, so he allowed them to 114 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.079 get around the system that had been set up to try to prevent this. 115 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.839 And that's what he's gonna have to answer for. Eventually, he's going to 116 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.399 be made to testify before the HOW sometime the next few months, and my 117 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.920 hope is that that's what's going to be brought forward, is the records that 118 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.039 show that he actually circumvented the Pathogen Committee that should have found out and should 119 00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.080 have stopped this research before it happened. You know, we trust you a 120 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.480 lot more on this issue than doctor Anthony Fauci or the who the North Koreans 121 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.639 as part of the executive committee. Can you state here we are heading toward 122 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.879 the middle of June, was COVID nineteen created by man? Or did it 123 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.919 arise in nature? Looking at all of the evidence, there's a mountain of 124 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.159 evidence saying that it was created by man, that it came from a lab. 125 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.840 There's almost no evidence from nature. We do know in the past that 126 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.720 viruses to occasionally come from nature, and that is the traditional way. But 127 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.679 what we've done is we've looked at the Chinese have looked at eighty thousand animals. 128 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.120 They've tested them and none of them came up positive. And think about 129 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.720 it from the Chinese perspective, even if they're not completely honest with us, 130 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.120 would they want it to come from a lab or from nature? Nature that 131 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.879 can write off as something natural and accidental. The lab looks a lot worse, 132 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:24.840 as if they were sloppy and their safety was bad. So they have 133 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.440 an incentive to actually find an animal, and yet they haven't found an animal 134 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.720 when looking fall throughout all the animals the wet market, and most people acknowledge 135 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.080 now that it didn't come from the wet market. About a third of the 136 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.120 early cases were from outside the wet market. So there's a lot of genetic 137 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.480 evidence also that this came from a lab. Most viruses that come from animals, 138 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.759 they make multiple attempts to infect humans, so there's many different varieties. 139 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.559 In the beginning, there's what they called diversity of the genome or of the 140 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.120 genetics. With this, it turns out that genetics was basically one strain, 141 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.440 maybe two, but one or two, and that lack of diversity scientists point 142 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.240 to and say, wow, this means it came from one source in all 143 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.039 likelihood lab. Now, lastly on this issue, before we talk about Senator 144 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.480 Grassley and what he's doing with Barisma and Joe Biden, I want to get 145 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.399 your comments on that. But many times, when some great event transpires, 146 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.000 after action report that is, the experts get together and say, okay, 147 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.919 now that we know what happened, was this good or bad? I would 148 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.440 think that Jizo paying, the leader of Communist Red China, if they did 149 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.240 an after action report on COVID nineteen that they would say this was an extremely 150 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.399 positive thing for China. Of course, killing a million or two million Chinese 151 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.200 is a rounding error of the Communist Red Chinese Party. They don't care. 152 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.200 Is it fair to say the Communist Red Chinese government, Jiaoping, etc. 153 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.440 Benefited from COVID nineteen. Well, in some ways, fear allows people to 154 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:03.200 consolidate power that would guard Maybe I would say that one of the interesting things 155 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.159 that we explore in the book is is that early on China began passing new 156 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.679 safety laws early in twenty twenty some in twenty nineteen. There was a lot 157 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.240 of upgrades to the Wuhan lad in October and November of twenty nineteen because we 158 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.360 think an accident happened there and they were replacing exhaust fans. They were replacing 159 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.679 and asepsis, they were changing all kinds of things, and they ordered an 160 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:30.000 extraordinary amount of equipment in October November, So we do know that something was 161 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.679 going on. They were aware of it. We do know that three workers 162 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.600 became very sick, and we think that one relative of one of the workers 163 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.639 that the Uhan lab died in early November, so this was going on. 164 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:45.519 They knew about it, they hit it. They only finally released the sequence. 165 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:50.120 The genetic sequence of the virus came out only after someone had illegally released 166 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.360 it onto the internet. And then finally the Chinese government about twenty to thirty 167 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.000 days after they knew the genetic sequence finally released into the world, but only 168 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.200 because someone else had done it first. So they haven't been good partners. 169 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.279 They haven't been trustworthy of this. And we said no funding of any research. 170 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.679 I don't know while we were ever funding any research. Look with their 171 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.440 series, there are competitors, the outcompet us in the marketplace, and yet 172 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.000 we're funding their research. Wouldn't under one world should we be sending them any 173 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.799 money? You know? And sadly, Senator around Paul, the average American 174 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.440 has no idea of these facts because most Americans live their good lives in simple 175 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.440 ways, and they rely upon the news media to relate to them important facts 176 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.120 upon which they can cast an informed ballot at election time. And if you 177 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.360 would ask the average person did the American taxpayer fund the creation of COVID nineteen, 178 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.600 they would have no idea what we're talking about because most Americans pay attention 179 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.120 to the mainstream media. Page two on the issue of what happened about a 180 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.039 week or so ago. On the same day that it was announced that President 181 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.159 Trump was going to be arrested and indict on a thirty seven counts and arraigned. 182 00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.879 On the same day, information came out through the FBI and Senator Grassley 183 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:09.000 of Iowa that Barisma official has it on tape that fifteen conversations with Hunter Biden 184 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.480 and sadly, and I say, as an American, sadly, there were 185 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:18.639 two taped conversations with then Vice President Joe Biden talking about the payoff to Joe 186 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.279 Biden getting rid of the prosecutor a billion dollars not going to be coming into 187 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:28.840 the Ukraine. As a person who's greatly concerned with medical issues and budget deals 188 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.080 and government working well for the American people, are you concerned that we have 189 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:39.720 a compromise president, directly or indirectly that's been paid moneys from either Communist read 190 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:45.360 China, from maybe Bulgaria, possibly from Russia, certainly from Barisma in the 191 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.679 Ukraine. Are you concerned that there's a burgeoning scandal that the mainstream media only 192 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.840 covers Trump, but not the corruption of Joe Biden. What worries me is 193 00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.080 not just the potential corruption of Joe Biden, the potential bribery and X to 194 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.360 worse, and that he was involved with the payoff of the job to his 195 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.399 son. What worries me is that the FBI has known about it, known 196 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.320 that there is an executive with audio tapes, seventeen audio tapes. How many 197 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.519 years have they had this? I think this isn't a recent past. I 198 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.679 think they may have had this for several years. Have they listened to the 199 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.279 tapes? Have they listened to the audio tapes? I mean, what kind 200 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.639 of investigation was done? So I think Senator Grassley's done Yeoman's work on this. 201 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.840 But what I read yesterday from his release and his speech was startling. 202 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.240 I mean that there are seventeen tapes out there. They also redacted that they 203 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:39.440 let the members read this informant's words of accusation, but they didn't then tell 204 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.039 us that they didn't tell the other members of Congress that there were seventeen recordings. 205 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.080 So I think, without question, yes, these need to be heard. 206 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.600 If they want to hear them first in private session, that's fine, 207 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.240 But ultimately I think the public needs to hear these and whoever the informant is 208 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.759 needs to be given immunity and they need to bring them forward. They're not 209 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.240 in this country. It's a little more complicated, but this is is a 210 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.559 big deal. This is a huge deal. And you're right, what's the 211 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.200 national media doing? They report Trump NonStop? But I can tell you at 212 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.039 home in Kentucky, and I think people are a lot of like that across 213 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.000 the border into Ohio. When they hear this, they're thinking to themselves, 214 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.240 is there two sets of justice? Is there a double standards or a standard 215 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.320 for Republicans and Trump and his supporters, and a different standard for Democrats like 216 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:30.559 Biden. And I think when people see that, people instinctively no unfairness and 217 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:35.000 injustice, and it's going to divide this country and make things so much worse 218 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.480 if they end up persecuting and prosecuting Trump and basically giving the Bidens free pass. 219 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.200 Lastly, I heard you spoke about a week or ten days ago on 220 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.919 the budget deal, and it's shocking to me that it is considered a compliment 221 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.600 when you can maybe have a one to two percent reduction in government spending over 222 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.279 the next ten years and I heard you on the floor of the Senate discussing 223 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.360 this. How bad of a budget deal is this? And are we forestalling 224 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:07.960 the inevitable the bankruptcy of this country and or the bankruptcy and or defaulting on 225 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.080 the national debt because we owe thirty two trillion And after the deal, we're 226 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:17.639 told by the budget authorities, by twenty thirty, which is seven years away, 227 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:22.960 we're going to have accumulated national budget debt north of forty trillion dollars. 228 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:29.039 Forty trillion dollars. How bad was the budget deal that you voted against? 229 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.080 There was nothing conservative about it, And just in the next two years, 230 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.279 the Congressional Budget Office says that will add four trillion. So the debt's been 231 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.120 growing up at alarming levels. It's been growing exponentially, and this debt deal 232 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.960 is going to allow it. It actually has no limit. They're gonna let 233 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.919 the debt grow as much as people can possibly spend until January twenty twenty five. 234 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.600 There's no limit how much debt can be accumulated. They're estimating that it 235 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.399 will be four trillion, but they actually placed no limits, So there's nothing 236 00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.759 conservative in it. If you look at overall budgetary spending. Two thirds of 237 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.480 it is the entitlements Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, and other programs. 238 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.799 That was not touched at all, and that's going up at five percent a 239 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.480 year. So they didn't touch two thirds of the budget. The remaining third 240 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:17.039 they called discretionary spending. It's military and then a bunch more welfare programs. 241 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.599 They took military off the budget and they raised it three percent. So mandatory 242 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:25.640 spending, entitlements is going up five percent, Military is going up three percent. 243 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.000 And what they looked at was about fifteen percent of the budget, and 244 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.519 they didn't hold it at the levels that they used to be before they raised 245 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:33.680 them on COVID. They said, well, you know, we'll try to 246 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.279 hold the line and only increase them by one percent a year, but based 247 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.480 on the inflated numbers that we've gotten in place since COVID. So no, 248 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.880 there's just nothing good about this. And in two years the conservatives, who 249 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.799 I think mistakenly supported this, we'll look back and say, you know, 250 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.359 I got a good wink on this one. I was tricked. So it 251 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.039 was a terrible bill. Well it's awful, but Senator Rampaul, I'm led 252 00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.559 a normal person like you was in the Senate and how much more can you 253 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.680 take? Well, I fight every day and I will continue fighting, as 254 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:10.400 you know, as long as I'm here. And it does help to voices 255 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.559 up here who do continue to fight, because there's a lot of folks up 256 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.720 here I call furniture. They're not much different. You can move them around 257 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:19.720 in the room, but they sit there or they're inert, and they're not 258 00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.880 really putting up a fight. And we do need more people up here with 259 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.319 some fight. Well, you're not a couch. Senator Ran Paul, thank 260 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.920 you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
