the man who's been recognized. There's radio's best, the recipient of not one,
but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast excellence, the one and only
Bill Cunningham, now Billy Cunningham, the Great America. And it is rather
frigid Sunday night across America and another storms are going to head California on Tuesday
Wednesday. We'll see what happens down the road. But looking at why I
left the game end at Kansas City again, beat up on Buffalo twenty seven
to twenty four, and the Taylor Swift phenomenon continues, although I think it's
going to meet its end in Baltimore next Sunday, but who knows. Unlike
many, I'm impressed with Taylor Swift. I'm sorry, don't listen to much
of her music, but don't care for her politics. But what she's done
with their ability and talent. She's a multi multi billionaire putting to work lots
of people. What the hell let the young lady enjoy her life with Travis
Kelce who ran for a touchdown, caught a touchdown pass. All hell's breaking
loose, and Kansas City is going to be at Baltimore and of course in
San Francisco, Detroit Lions are going to be there. Buffalo once again hit
with like thirty eight inches of snow, brutal blizzards now have several months to
lick their wounds. Miss fieldal at the end would have tied it up.
Who knows back and forth. I don't think Kansas City punted one time in
the entire game. So to go into Buffalo like they did when Kansas City
is pretty good stuff. Look forward to maybe next year when Joe Burrow comes
back with the Cincinnati Bengals. I was kind of hoping between Buffalo and Cincinnati.
The two franchises have been to the Super Bowl a total of seven times.
You know the record of Cincinnati and Buffalo in the Super Bowl zero and
seven, So we'll see what happens. I love it when small market teams
winning. Kansas City certainly is one of those. But big show planned for
tonight, and I would point out that the bombshell developments of a few hours
ago when Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, which is my second home state,
decided to drop out because frankly had no chance, zero zilch nada. For
some reason, De Santas did not catch on at the retail level of politics.
Now, I've been in a couple of events with DeSantis, and I've
been in four or five with Donald Trump. In fact, introduced him a
couple of times Trump event, and later on we have Leland Viddard coming up
from News Nation. He's driving between Concord and Manchester. There was a Trump
event there tonight. And if you go to a Trump event, it's kind
of like the Grateful Dead. It's like a festival. There's a line out
the front, people are selling things, people are happy. You go to
a Rhondissantus event. It's not good. Not good at the retail level.
He would have been much better off having won a great Florida gubernatorial victory in
twenty twenty two, to let this thing rest until twenty twenty eight, when
he's still going to be barely fifty years old. But he decided to jump
in. Now. I think his advisors told me, like in January and
February of twenty twenty three when he decided to get in. He said,
you're gonna have the same positions as Donald Trump, without all the peccadillos,
without the tweets, without the insults, and you're gonna win. So he
bought it, got tens of millions of dollars from rich guys. I didn't
want to see Trump in office, but many did not anticipate what what would
happen? Beginning in April of twenty twenty three, what about a year and
eight months ago, that is indictments. Alvin Briggs had the stupid, ignorant
Alvin Braggs at New York City filed some of like thirty five felony charges against
Donald Trump for paying a porn star money to catch and kill a story about
him having sex with a porn star. And at that point, when that
thing broke criminal charges, he put the money paid to the porn star on
a different form than on some other form. So that caused Alvin Braggs to
indict him thirty five times on felonies, just that indictment. If convicted,
Let's face it, if the Donald goes before a petted jury in New York
City is going to be convicted. Spend the rest of his life in a
New York State prison. Unbelievable, That was ridiculous. And then Fannie Willis,
Atlanta Fulton County prosecutor we now know, coordinating indictments from the White House.
If this was a real media that we had, what would occur is
that the so called mainstream media would go after Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade her
lover to understand why he spent many hours in the White House. I would
imagine talking about the prosecution of Donald Trump, either that or the weather one
or the other. And then here comes Jack Smith, when Joe Biden said,
go get him, have indictments in Washington on obstruction of justice on January
sixth, issues when the Donald said, march down to the Capitol peaceably in
protest. And then also Jack Smith and Florida on the classified documents, which
Democratic leaders have done for decades with impunity. So all of a sudden,
these the criminal cases seem to be falling apart. So I think run Desantus
said, Okay, January February of twenty twenty three, this is my shot.
Let's go get him. I have the same policies as the Trumpster,
without the peccadillos. Well, little did he know that Alvin Braggs and Fannie
Willis and Merrick Garland and Stormy Daniels and others would come at him hard,
and that the support for the Donald would switch from lukewarm in twenty twenty three
to HoTT as a firecracker. Because we understand that this is an attempt by
the Democrats to do exactly what they accused Donald Trump of doing. Is being
an authoritatian authoritarian form of government, indicting the leader of the opposition party,
putting him in prison for the rest of his life, seize all of his
assets, and then make sure that Joe Biden, who by the way,
as a Democrat, cannot be part of any primary system because he might lose.
So the party that runs on the platform of democracy is at risk,
is actually putting democracy at risk. Whatever they accused the Republicans of doing is
exactly what the Democrats themselves have already done or presently are doing. And so
when I see what's happening beginning a few hours ago, I look at the
Drudge Report tonight, and I'm the successor and title in this show from Matt
Drudge and the Drudge Report has completely lost its way, by the way,
as a headline, New Hampshire poll, Trump forty six, Haley forty four,
the Santus six. So if that poll is correct, there's a real
chance that Nicky Haley could beat Donald Trump in New Hampshire if the polls are
accurate. So I'm going to put a call in later to Leland Vinter of
News Nation, who's on the ground tonight in New Hampshire went to a Trump
rally to get a sense of the Senate what is happening in New Hampshire,
Because in New Hampshire you don't have to be a registered Republican to vote in
the Republican primary. Democrats are independents can go in and say give me the
Republican ballot and then vote for Nicki Haley if they won. But then in
a couple of weeks, guess what everyone's going to head towards South Carolina.
And you would think the governor, former governor of South Carolina, Nicki Haley,
would do well, but all the leaders of South Carolina have sattled up
next to Donald Trump, and some polling in South Carolina as the Trumpster beating
Nicki Haley by thirty five percentage points in her own home state. So we
have a nominee, whether you like it or not, we have a nominee,
and his name is Donald John Trump. And it appears now unlikely there'll
be a trial which surely will result in a guilty verdict to be overturned on
appeal before election day. And the party that tells us that all these indictments
and lawsuits against Donald Trump have nothing to do with politics, want to make
sure politically they all go to trial, at least one of them before November
fifth, because they want a conviction. Polling indicates that about thirty percent of
Republicans say they will not vote for the Donald if he's convicted of a felony.
Any doubt in your mind what happens if Donald stands in front of an
Atlanta City jury or a New York City jury or a Washington, d c.
Jury. Republicans are convicted there and Democrats are set free. It's all
political. So how can it not be political when the Democrats themselves say we
have to try this guy before the election, which is all political normally in
federal court. And I've had dozens and dozens of trials in federal court.
A case like this, where the defendant is obviously out on bond, may
take two to four years to come up for trial because of all the pre
trial motions. And the US Constitution provides each defendant, each defendant the right
to a speedy trial. It does not provide to the government the right to
a speedy trial. Only the defendant gets the right to the speedy trial.
And Donald Trump has waived his right to a speedy trial, and he wants
to have these motions determined, of course before trials. With all the problems
of Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade, and that is a joke in and of
itself. You can't have a prosecutor personally benefiting from the prosecution of a defendant.
And it appears, based upon Joscelyn Wade, the wife of Nathan Wade,
that significant assets were used by Nathan Wade to wine dine in pocket line
the prosecutor on their romantic getaways to California, to the Caribbean and the Palm
Springs. They were spending money like drunken sailors on shore leave, which is
an insult to drunken sailors. But obviously you can't have a prosecutor personally benefiting
from the prosecution of a defendant, which is exactly what Fannie Willis is doing
and Nathan Wade exactly is doing. He's collected so far from the taxpayers of
Fulton County about six hundred and fifty thousand dollars on its way to a million
and one of the billings making two hundred and fifty bucks an hour. He's
spent twenty four hours in one day on the case. Twenty four hours a
day sounds like a Beatles song. Eight days a week he's working in billing.
Fannie Willis his lover six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which is five
hundred thousand dollars more than the other two prosecutors are getting because of his quote,
his personal relationship with the prosecutor who's been wine dined and pocket lined by
the taxpayers of the state of Georgia. Huh does that make sense to anyone?
Now? That has nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of these
nineteen defendants, four of whom have already pled guilty because they got sweetheart deals.
But at a minimum, Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade both need to be
disqualified from the case, bring in some other prosecutor, and start all over
again. It's the fruit of the poisonous tree, which is a doctrine under
the Fourth Amendment. So you can have a circumstance where a prosecutor is personally
benefiting from the trials of a person that she has caused to be indicted.
She is a personal stake in the outcome of the cases, in fact,
to keep it going for a long time, so she can personally put money
in her purse or get fancy trips all over the world. And so I
want to compliment Joscelyn Wade, the estranged wife of Nathan Wade, for making
public this information, because the truth will set us all free. So let's
continue later on, we have that same Leland Vittat will be here from News
Nation. He's in a car between Concord and Manchester. He went to a
trump rally tonight in which the trump Ster was happy as could be because of
ron descent as getting out of the race. Of course, that was a
non sequitor because he had no traction any time anywhere anyway. And Nikki Haley
may benefit slightly, and if in fact she is at forty four percent in
New Hampshire and Disantas is at six Is it reasonable to assume that she's going
to get the majority of Dissanders and six percent. I don't know. I
would assume that is an anti Trump vote, whether you like it or not,
and I like it. Donald Trump is going to be the nominee of
the Republican Party and before November fifth. I do not think he's going to
stand trial in any of these ridiculous criminal charges. Civilly who knows, Stormy
Daniels, Gene Carroll, who knows what happens there, And we'll see what
occurs. But my gosh, are we in trouble. I want to spend
some time tonight with an expert on the southern border. Plus, we have
a call into Congressman Warren Davidson. He's a member of the Freedom Caucus,
and I think he's concerned about the behavior of one Speaker of the House,
Mike Johnson, who made promises not kept. I think many in Washington want
Mike Johnson to go the same path as Kevin McCarthy. We'll see what happens.
So if a line becomes available, I see we have a call from
Massachusetts already eight six six six four seven seven three three seven. Lastly,
before I take a short break, Senator John Fetterman, of course uh had
the serious stroke. As stroke could strike anyone. It doesn't mean you should
sit in the US Senate with serious stroke symptoms. But nonetheless, John Fetterman
said, quote migration crisis threatens to destroy the American dream. That's from John
Fetterman, who's working with half a because of a stroke. And let's face
it, if John Fetterman has this southern border figured out, why can't Joe
Biden the other Democrats Because they're in a replacement mode. They want to get
rid of all those working class Americans and replace them with ilegal migrants from Venezuela.
Continue with more. Twenty two minutes after the hour, Bill Cunningham,
the Great American Live with You every Sunday, Dramatic Dame Politics, Rond de
Santas is gone and Nikki Haley remains. We have a call coming in from
Leland Vindert of a news nation on the ground in about thirty five minutes to
discuss what's happening in New Hampshire. As a consequence of that, I would
point out one other issue. Study finds that nineteen percent of young millennials definitely
want to be parents, another twenty percent which gets the number up to about
forty percent or leaning toward going child free, don't want to have kids either
said definitely not or probably not. That's forty percent. The average female in
America currently produces about two point one children per female, which is only replacing
the current population. So this study from the US Census Bureau is even more
shocking about the dismantling of America, which I want to spend some time with
you on because we have no idea how important the November election is. Because
if Michelle Obama, I do not believe along with my good friend and yours
wayn Allen Root, that Joe Biden will make it till November the fifth,
He's going to tumble, sir, He's gonna do tumbles down steps. They're
going to find the actual cash in his pocket from Hunter that he took bribes
as a vice president into the two to millions of dollars, or his polling
is so bad that the Democrats are going to tell him at the convention,
or before you got to step down and get ready for Michelle Obama with Kevin
Newsoen is the VP that they think is the winning ticket. But it is
so bad in this country right now that if we continue with these policies on
the southern border, that America is being dismantled before our very eyes. We
have no border. In one month of December, the number is three hundred
thousand illegals, which was about half of the real number because those are the
ones that have been registered. So if you continue on that front, and
it's going to accelerate, it's going to get worse. That means by the
year twenty fifty, and we're as close to the year twenty fifty, the
year twenty fifty appears to be thousands of years away. We're as close to
the year twenty fifty as we are to the year two thousand. We're basically
halfway there. Imagine one hundred million more Americans that are itinerant migrants inside of
this country and that accelerates. We go from three hundred and forty million to
four hundred and forty million by twenty fifty or before. Unbelievable. What does
that mean? That means our society is not structured to have a country run
with four hundred and forty to four hundred and sixty million people. The great
majority are not working. The great majority do not have skills demanded by this
technology technologically superior economy. We don't live in the nineteenth century anymore, with
large manufacturing and farming needs and industrial needs. We don't have that anymore.
In fact, we need less workers to do more. But the problem is
politically that the middle class is voting against the Democrats for this and other reasons.
Oh As a result, they have to suppliant, replace the Americans not
voting for them with Americans who will because of keeping power and keeping control of
the checkbook. So let's continue. Want to get your calls. We've called
some Massachusetts and Texas. We have three lines available now at eight sixty six
six four seven, seven three three seven. Big show coming up in more.
Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with you every Sunday night. I
was born in a small town. I live in a small town. My
friends are in a small town. I'll be buried in a small town.
Let's continue now in UH eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven.
A quick comment or two. I think many Americans living their simple lives
hopefully in good ways, do not understand what's occurring deliberately by the Marxist liberal
progressive Democratic Party on the southern border. When we had a functional southern border
for most of this century, when Barack Hussein Obama and Chuck Schumer and others,
Hillary Clinton as recently as twenty ten saying as Democrats in office and power,
that we must have a functional southern border well guarded and let into this
country only those that follow the law. That that party has changed completely because
they started losing elections, so they had to replace the voters who voted against
them with migrants and others who will vote for the Democratic Party. The American
that I live in, grew up in, and want my kids and grandchildren
to live in, have taken most of our freedoms for granted public education.
In many areas, it's pretty good from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. But
those areas in which the Democratic Parties controlled for forty to sixty years are utterly
dysfunctional. If you're in a major American city and have the option, you
would not send your children to the Detroit public schools, or do the Portland
public schools, or to the Houston public schools. You wouldn't do that if
you had a choice, because they're terrible. But I lived in suburban areas
in the Cincinnati area in which I went to a place called Deer Park High
School. About forty years that about twenty five percent of us would go on
to college or other degrees, And until the Democrats completely controlled higher education,
the cost was somewhat reasonable. Now it's confiscatory. Millions more could go to
vocational schools or gain employment of the choice from thousands of available jobs. And
there was a hope that as you got older twenty five thirty, you met
the guy, met the girl of your dreams or whatever. You jumped on,
jumped on the bandwagon. Let's get married. Remember marriage, Remember marriage,
have children, have a three bedroom house with a picket fence and a
couple of bathroom and raise your family. We take that for granted, and
we enjoy driving on highways. The part of the world I live in I
seventy one, I seventy five, two seventy five. Except for an hour
or two each day, you can travel the highways and the byways somewhat unfettered.
The roads are not massively overcrowded. In the area that I live but
as stated by US government demographers, that currently there's three hundred and forty million
human beings that live in this country. Of the three hundred and forty million,
eighty million we're not born here eighty million great majority are illegal. By
twenty fifty, there will be an additional one hundred million human beings living in
the United States of America that will fundamentally alter and destroy fundamental freedoms that we
have. The invasion is ongoing, and the quality of your life, and
my life, and your kid's life will be gone. We're not a country
that is scaled to handle three hundred and fifty million people living here. For
example, New York City is going to go from eight million to seventeen million.
Los Angeles will jump to about twenty five million, and every city will
be over polluted, filled with homeless and drugs, massive lawlessness and crime.
Water is going to be scarce, It'll be a toxic wasteland with poop maps
all over the place. And your tax dollars will go to pay for welfare.
Obama phones, clothing, housing, medical, educational, and transportation needs
that we thought was almost to right. But the system is not scaled to
have four hundred and sixty million people in this country. You have to take
one look right now at a sanctuary city, which is just the beginning of
the invasion of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles. It's just beginning as
to what's happening with housing, welfare, hospitals, and schools. There is
no education happening. New York City public schools. They took in at least
one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, a different more migrants one hundred thousand,
and there's no education going on. Take one look at Chicago, Cleveland,
Detroit, Portland, take one look at downtown Austin, Texas. That's
what your city's going to look like when your kids or grandkids in the next
forty or forty five years. That's what's gonna happen. National parks will be
overwhelmed, they'll be trashed and overcrowded by thousands and thousands each day. And
that we have a circumstance now which is almost stoppable, but maybe not.
Of the one hundred million that are going to come into this country illegally,
one hundre million, how many are compatible with our religions and our culture.
The answer is few. What are their worldviews about welfare and about the American
way of life. It's not what happens in this country whatsoever. So we
have an occasion. Now you think you solve a problem and cause other problems,
unintended consequences. Imagine millions with mental illnesses, millions with drug addictions,
millions with drug overdoses. Imagine the homeless situation. Imagine escape from New York
with snake plisken. That'll be the word of the day. No nation on
the face of the earth that has this many people provide anything but a horrible
existence for the so called middle class in those nations. China and India have
about one point three one point five billion people. The average Indian middle class
American average living in Calcutta, for example, has a horrible life. The
average Chinese person living and communist Red Shina, the average person doesn't have a
uh indoor plumbing, doesn't doesn't have indoor toilets, doesn't have water systems inside
the house. The system is not resolved. The average Russian, the average
Brazilian doesn't have a life because too many people, too few resources. And
so we have decided not we, but the Democrats have decided to replace your
votes with those migrants from third world countries with grinding poverty. Milton Friedman said,
one of the four conservatives of my Mount Rushmore, Milton Friedman said that
you cannot have grinding poverty, third world values next to a developed nation with
wide open borders, because eventually the developed nation will look like the country with
grinding poverty. That's exactly where we're headed. Right now. We have endless
supplies of fresh water, somewhat functioning medical system but not in Denver, and
we have a sewer system that is somewhat permissible. You add one hundred million
without homes, without medical care that we provide for nothing, for zero,
no cost, and we can't exist. It's literally is the purposeful, intentional
dismantling of the United States of America if we don't stop this invasion and stop
it immediately, stop political it's reality. Can this country survive with an additional
one hundred million welfare recipients that are going to be here by the year twenty
fifty. No, we can't survive. We won't. The country will slip
into nothing. In great societies have generally done well for two to three hundred
years, and by the time we celebrate our three hundredth in. Unless we
stop the deliberate invasion of this country from the southern border, the country will
not exist as we know it today as cities emptied out. Look at Oakland,
California. That's a joke. That is an absolute joke. Downtown Chicago,
Downtown New York, where I spent seven or eight years doing my television
show, was a fabulous city ten years ago. Not anymore. It's over
the pollution the crime. Friend of mine went to a hospital in er in
suburban Cincinnati and was number sixty two on the wait list to be seen with
a heartbeat of over one hundred, blood pressure two twenty over one eighty,
and after three hours of waiting, went home. And cities like Denver has
a ridiculous progressive mayor who once bailout from the federal government because of all the
care provided to illegal immigrants in Denver, not exactly, shall we say,
a border city. That's what's headed to this country. Whereas to the year
twenty fifty, as we are to the year two thousand and this selection in
November determines the course for the next thirty to forty years. That Donald says,
legal pathways walls with nice large gates, letting the right people in because
they've been tested in their skills of needed inside this country, or the Democrat
wins. And if it's Michelle Obama for the next four to eight years.
On top of that, we're at the tipping point of having completely dysfunctional public
schools. Did she send her kids to Chicago public schools? I don't think
so. It's for the unwashed masses who are asses to keep people like Mayor
Johnson in charge of the city of Chicago. Are you kidding me? Imagine
the philosophy of that mayor for the next ten to twenty to thirty years.
Imagine it. I can't. We have one chance to get this right,
and the media will spend its time attacking Donald Trump because of Gene Carroll,
or because of a tweet, or because of a porn star, or because
of not handling a piece of paper correctly, or because of some other ridiculous
purpose. They want to keep control of the checkbook. And if the Democrats
are in charge of the checkbook, the bankruptcy of America is already occurring.
It's occurring right now. We have about one trillion dollars we pay an interest
payments soon to be two trillion dollars by the end of this decade. Well
have accumulant national debt of forty trillion dollars, not supported by productivity but presses,
by printing presses, and by borrowing. And that is that's non survivable.
It is sick, and it's sad. We need a gladiator, a
maximus, hold the line. We need the Trumpster with the courage and the
power to change the arc with the Democrats have in store for you, which
is the unbridled dismantling of the United States of America as we know it.
If you would enjoy living in downtown Chicago or downtown Oakland, or downtown Portland,
or downtown Atlanta, you would love with the Democrats have planned for your
city and for your state. That's where we're headed. And this election is
the most important of my lifetime. If we continue on this path, with
unbridled welfare, with an open border, with massive lawlessness, with this functional
schools, with more deficit, more borrowing, the country can't survive. I
think we're past the point of breakage now, but I know in four to
eight years or twelve years from now, with Obama and that crew in charge.
That's where we're headed. It was a shock to the system in twenty
sixteen when Trump beat Hillary Clinton, a shock. So what happened is that
Obama left in charge of the FBI, the Secretaries of State and Defense and
the underlings, and relative to the FBI and the CIA, the ability to
destroy the presidency of Donald Trump by impeachment and by by indicting his age around
him, so that everyone's lawyered up and that Donald could not impose what he
wanted to do. So Biden wins, and that's the third Obama term.
And if Michelle Obama wins this November and gets eight years in the run,
you hand it over to Gavin Newsom. We're done. It's over. And
the cities that we used to say were majestic have been destroyed. They're going
to be worse, and there'll be more people looking to Costa Rica to go
live. Let's continue with morel Let's take some calls if a line becomes available.
Eight sixty six six four seven, seven three three seven, Bill cunning
and the Great American with you every Sunday night, well tonight. Taylor Swift
beat the Buffalo Bills twenty seven to Taylor Swift is now on her way to
Baltimore. I don't think they can beat up there of Lamar, but we'll
see what happens. Taylor Swift is the best thing to happen in the NFL
in a long time. Let's continue with more. Let's go to Robin,
Kansas, home of the Jayhawk, and Robin, Kansas walking to the Bill
Cunningham Show, and how you doing tonight in Kansas? Very good, Billy.
We had a nice keeethswin on a cold night and looking forward to next
week and also have to fill a good news Taylor Swift news. Yes,
yes, I guess you're there a cheerleader. Yeah, I'll tell you what
a lot of people beat up on her, but I'm saying she's thirty four
years old, worth a billion dollars. Don't like her politics, but you
know, Travis Kelcey and his brother are from Cincinnati through Cleveland. They played
football here with the Bearcats and they weren't too good here, but they're pretty
good now. And I Taylor Swift, I know it's not a conservative viewpoint,
but she's okay with me. Beat up on the Buffalo Bills. What
will happen on Sunday in Baltimore. I think with Patrick Mahomes there they got
a chance to win. Taltimore is not proven. Yeah, we'll see what
happens, all right, give me your viewpoint there, Rob go ahead calling
about Donald Trump. It's time to get behind him. He took on a
field of very qualified, good people, Desantus, the great governor, probably
the best governor in America, and he beat them all. Like Mike Tyson
came out in the first round and knocked him out handily with one arm tied
behind his back because of the indictment. He had one arm and he beat
him without even trying. Yeah, with the DOJ holding one arm behind his
back. We have got to get every resource available to beep the Democrat Party
this fall. They will do things that we don't even know about right now.
They're going to come up, of course, and everybody's got to be
on the same team. We're behind. We probably thought we're ahead because of
some good things have happened. We're very behind all right now. I mean
it's a do or die because if we continue these policies for four to eight
to twelve more years with southern borders wide open, with massive lawlessness, with
public schools that stink with fentanyl overdose, one hundred and forty thousand Americans dying
every year, with communist red Chinese on the March, and if they get
a sniff that they think Donald Trump's going to be the president, They're going
to invade Taiwan in a heartbeat because they don't want a real president to stop
them from doing that. Around the world right now, rob remember that when
Joe Biden read teleprompters three years ago that the world needed an expert American president
to calm things down. Since he's become the president, we're at war all
over the place. I have empathy for those American soldiers and fox holes in
a rock having missiles launched from Iran bevyes to come and kill them with traumatic
brain injuries. I can't imagining my son or daughter over there in a rock,
in a foxhole and having missiles launched from the surrogates of the Iranians causing
my son or daughter traumatic brain injuries. And we have that no one respects.
They all hope and David was Switzerland. They were all hoping, and
the powwow last week that Biden was staying power because he's so easy to manipulate
and the guy's a clown. So the world's elite doesn't want Trump back.
That tells you it's a good thing that Trump will come back. Yes,
it is, mister Cunningham. And I'll tell you if that stuff was going
on with Iran doing those things that are true, oh, with DJT,
Donald Trump and the presidentcy how quickly would be over well three years more of
his presidency, Iran would have been bankrupt. Anyone dealing with them, we
wouldn't. He had him bankrupt. And now what's happening now. Joe Biden
is monetizing Iranian terrorism. Yeah, yeah, Donald Trump had him starved.
They were They couldn't get any money for the old people wouldn't buy their stuff.
They were starving. They weren't starving, but they were in bad ship
trouble. They were well. Joe Biden bailed him out. He bailed him
out. He said, Hey, here's one hundred billion dollars more missiles used
to attack American troops in a rock. And one might ask, why the
hell are we in a rock anyway? I mean, it's beyond me.
We have seven hundred and fifty military bases in one hundred and twenty five different
countries, and I'm thinking at some point the military industrial complex needs to change.
I don't know what do we win now in a rock that was a
George Bush disaster. There's nothing to win in a rock right now? Wow,
let's continue. I'm going to put a call in the Leland Vidderd of
News Nation, I think is in a car halfway between Concord and Manchester,
New Hampshire as I speak to talk about the rally tonight Donald Trump had and
what impact that the Santa's decision had in New Hampshire. Let's continue with more.
Bill Cunningham, the Great American. Life with you every Sunday night,
Willie Brough You by Choice Hotels a Connor Rogen Roadway in hotels are serving up
double points for every qualifying stay book at Choice hotels dot com. Now here's
the man who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not one but
two prestigious Marconi Awards for he is broadcast excellence, the one and only Bill
Cunningham. Hi, Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Of course, bombshells
happened a few hours ago when Ron DeSantis, the so called popular governor of
Florida decided to drop out of the race. He had a lucid moment in
which she said, look, there's no way I can win this thing.
Uh. And let's face it, from his perspective, after the elect in
twenty two, when he carried almost every Florida county, he was perceived in
the eyes of many, with a great shine on him, and he decided
to go out. And he could not have anticipated in April of twenty twenty
three about what a year in ten nine, ten months ago that Alvin Braggs
would do what he did. And then of course what happened in Atlanta,
what happened with Jack Smith, etc. And the thought was at the time,
well, all have the same policies of Donald Trump without the peccadillos.
But once the indictments in the lawsuits started, there was a hardening of resolve
by many in the conservative Republican movement saying this is unfair. So des Santas
could not have anticipated what was going to happen after his announcement. But then
once all the indictments came and all the lawsuits and Jean Carrol, etc.
Happened, I think many Republicans, conservatives said this isn't right, This is
unfair, and so the support for Donald Trump hardened and there was no path
to the nomination for Ron de Santas. He would have been better off,
would have been greatly better off if he would have waited till the next time
and keep the shine on. But he made I think a serious political blunder.
And now a few hours ago he got out Joan you and I now
this glorious Sunday Night. Is Leland vintert one of the stars of News Nation
on every Monday through Friday at seven pm Eastern Time, and he's actually in
New Hampshire tonight in between a new in between Concord and Manchester, having covered
a Trump event and Leland Vinter first of all, thank you for coming on
the Bill Cunningham show this glorious Sunday night. And can you tell us the
reaction there in New Hampshire when a shock Ron de Santis was gonna kind of
skip New Hampshire anyway and head on down to South Carolina. He canceled his
appearances on some of these Sunday morning talk shows this morning. But what are
the shock waves there in New Hampshire with with Ron de Santis getting out of
the race. Well, probably the worst thing for Ron de says was there
was no shock waves in New Hampshire because nobody cared, which says says everything
you need to know about Rod standis to your very expert analysis. I would
add two points to the Ron Desanti's issue and why he never caught on in
New Hampshire. Number one is New Hampshire, like Iowa, is a place
that values retail politics and getting to know candidates. And Ron DeSantis's biggest problem
was once you got to know him, you liked him less, which is
explains how he was more popular and doing better in the polls before he announced
than after one hundred and thirty million dollars was spent. And there you go.
The second point that I think to be made is you made a good
point about it. Ron DeSantis was all the things that Trump was, you
know, but without the main tweets. Right, Well, that's kind of
like new Coke. Everybody liked old Coke, Coke classics, and that's Donald
Trump. And what happened is that you know, I spent time, I
spent time in Florida, and I'm thinking this guy is going to be a
future rock star. Because of his naval connections, the way he ran in
Florida. This guy, but he never caught on at the retail level.
And now he switched and said I'm gonna support the Trumpster, having criticized him
repeatedly for the last several months. And this is a secondary matter. But
Leland Viitdderd of News Nation. Is he kind of hurt himself nationally politically?
Could? Of course when Richard Nixon arrived, came after nineteen sixty two,
after losing to Edmund Brown in California, Well, he was lower than whale
dung. Richard Nixon was done six years later was the president. Anything can
happen, But is he mortally wounded himself when it comes to future presidential politics?
Look, one way to be proven wrong covering politics is to make predictions.
So I don't do it. But is that the reason that Richard Mixoly
wounded had to do with other things other than Richard Nixon. The reason that
Ron DeSantis is mortally wounded is I go back to it because of Ron DeSantis.
It was because of who we on a retail politics level. And that's
not to say that he's not been extremely successful as the governor of Florida,
not to say that he didn't win by millions of votes, a state that
you know he has solidly turned red. We can go through, yeah,
accomplishments, but voters inherently have a feeling about people and they don't like him.
Yeah, they may like his policies, they may like what he's done
in Florida. They don't like him. And the American people almost always,
with a couple of notable exceptions, I would say Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter
over history elect people that they like. Yep, you right. The Trump
event earlier tonight in New Hampshire, can you describe what happened? The excitement
things in that character For those of us that have not attended one, and
I've been at three or four of them, they're almost like woodstock. I
mean, it's exciting, it's like the grateful Dead as people come and they
sell. It's a gathering. So what was the differential between the Trump event
and the event you saw with rond de Santis if any, Well, ron
Saya is the one event we didn't have we went to with Rondes Santas.
He showed up two hours late to and left everybody out in the cold,
so there wasn't much of a there's not much comparison. I would compare it
to a Nicky Haley event. And this is what I would tell you is
that the Trump event, we showed up at about four o'clock. There were
already a few hundred people standing in line in twenty degree weather. This is
in Rochester, New Hampshire, population thirty six thousand, and it was twenty
degrees and the temperature was falling and the line was growing. You get inside
and it is it's like a rock concert, a revival, and it was
this old town, the opera house. You would have thought that there could
have been a high school play on the stage, and instead it was Donald
Trump. And Donald Trump is a show, unquestionably, and he was very
gracious towards Ron DeSantis. And this plays into what Trump wants. Trump wants
this race to be over and Nicky Haley wants this to be a person race.
And I would argue, of those two aspirational framings, the person who
wins it right now at least is Nicky Haley, because there's still a race.
And look, say, what, you know, we've all underestimated Donald
Trump in the past at least I have. But Nicky Haley's event tonight was
at the Exeter High School with about two and a half times the number of
people that Donald Trump's event had. Now does that mean it's translating to votes?
Is Nicky's voters enthusiastic and Trump's supporters are rabbit in their support? Absolutely?
But I think it would be unwise to just declare this over and not
be thoughtful and open minded heading into Tuesday about what could happen. I'm looking
at the Drudge Report tonight. They have a poll out Trump at forty six
percent, Hailey at forty four percent, Desantus at six percent. So I
would imagine, based upon that Desantus's support, which are anti Trump votes,
I would think would give Haley fifty percent and Trump forty six percent. How
much of a shock would it be politically if Tuesday night Haley beat Trump?
How much of a shock would that be? Leland Viddard that would be on
the Richter scale at eight point zero in politics, right, I mean's not
the same as Trump winning in twenty sixteen, But all of a sudden,
there's a new narrative right now Trump has been beaten by two people he's been
beaten by Joe Biden, He's been beaten by Nicki Haley an astrust to your
point about DeSantis's votes, they tend to go to Nicki, they tend to
go to Ronde, to Donald Trump, rond Dee. Santis' voters second choice
when polled, tend to be Trump voters, and that they like the policies,
but they wanted a less mean tweet version of it. So we'll see
and look, this is why we have elections, right, you know,
I think it's I always think it's fun to come out on the trail and
important to come out on the trail because you actually get to talk to voters.
Yeah, and then you get to then you get to see what they
say, not what the pollsters say, not what the pundits say, not
with what you and I as hosts say, but what the voters say.
And that in the end, that's America, that's what matters. That's why
we play the game now. Polls don't elect candidates. Voters do. And
unless you're on the ground as you are tonight in New Hampshire, you don't
get a sense and a feel as to the place, as to the excitement
and if you cover it from a from an anchor desk, You're not going
to get any of that. So I'm going to give you one thing to
watch. Watch Dean Phillips. The real drama tomorrow on Tuesday Night. Might
be on the Democratic side of these. If Dean Phillips the candidate the Democratic
Minnesota who's running for the Democratic nomination because of how Joe Biden switched up the
rules, Joe Biden is not on the ballot in the Democratic primary here in
New Hampshire. He has to be written in, and the Democrats are scared.
The Biden machine is scared. They're now doing a writ in writing rallies
for Joe Biden. And if Dean Phillips wins, that'll be pretty interesting if
the sitting president does not, well, look at it this way, Leyland
Viddert. One of the platforms of Joe Biden is that Trump would be a
threat to democracy. I'll tell you what's a threat to democracy is when the
Democratic Party will not allow Democrats in New Hampshire to vote for Joe Biden.
In fact, they put out a missive saying that if delegates are elected in
New Hampshire having voted for somehow for Dean Phillips or someone or Marianna Williamson or
RFK Junior, anyone else going to seat them at the convention in Chicago.
So the party running on the platform of we want more democracy eliminates it when
it comes to Joe buying me on the ballot and a whole bunch of states,
and the media other than News Nation doesn't cover that well. MSNBC,
CNN doesn't cover it. Fox covers it a little bit. As far as
what the Democratic Party nationally is doing is making sure that Joe Biden isn't on
the ballot so Democrats can elect delegates to put him as the nominee in Chicago.
Is that somewhat interesting? It is interesting at the point that Dean Phillips
has made over and over and on my show as well. We have an
interview with him that we're going to air tomorrow night. One little asterisk to
this. I thought it was interesting. Maggie Hassen, the Senator from New
Hampshire, was on NBC today and she talked about how it didn't matter to
her whether Nikki Haley won or whether Donald Trump won because all Republicans are the
same and all the royal Republicans are a threat to democracy, and I would
see just that that is going to backfire because once the threat to democracy argument
about Donald Trump has some unique characteristics to it, and there's a lot of
people who don't like Donald Trump. But once you start arguing that any Republican
is evil, well, if everybody's a threat to democracy, then nobody is.
And stay tuned for that argument. And of course conservatives talk about threat
to democracies occur when the ruling party makes it impossible to have somebody run against
the leader. And that's exactly what's happening on the Republican side and the Democratic
side. Because Maggie Hassen, US Senator from New Hampshire kind of wants people
to write in Joe Biden's name, but the probability of him beating Dean Phillips.
Is there an actual Democratic primary on Tuesday? Or can you if you're
a you can go in who do you vote for? You can vote for
Dean Phillips, you can vote for Marian Williamson. Can you vote for Joe
Biden? He's not on the ballot. You got to write his name in
in Democrats and Democrats to that point are scared Democrats are. We've been at
two events. I think it was a much as folks from Boston have come
up. A bunch of Democrats in Boston, all with writing Joe Biden signs,
and I asked a couple of them. I said, I said,
wouldn't it just been easier to put him on the ballot. They didn't have
a good answer for that, but it was a good question. I thought,
well, very good question, especially if you're running on an idea of
authoritarianism that somehow Donald Trump represents authoritarianism when the president president assumes he's going to
be the Democratic nominee and he conjures up the rules so that Democrats can't vote
for someone else. LBJ could have done that in nineteen sixty eight and Eugene
McCarthy and Robert F. Kennedy, etc. But not even Democrats in sixty
eight would say, well, we have an unpopular Democratic president. At least
he was on the ballot. Now many don't recall, but in nineteen sixty
eight LBJ actually won. He beat Eugene McCarthy, but there was enough vot
it's given an a McCarthy, which is what encouraged RFK to get in and
here we are so many years later, my gosh, fifty six years later,
and here we have rfk son RFK Jr. Who can't get democratic ballots,
can't get on ballots, and he's Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And
it can't get on a ballot, and so many are extremely concerned about the
Democratic Party not practicing democracy. Well, we'll see what happens. I'm glad
you're are still in the car. Have you still driving through the wiles of
New Hampshire this Sunday night. We have arrived at the plush but not overly
ostentatious resident Danning Honkard just in time, just in time to depart before the
sun comes up. I have a friend who calls it o dark stupid.
His call time tomorrow morning as we head out to the Red Arrow Diner to
chat with voters on primary eve, and then we'll be traversing the state with
our crews and ending up tomorrow night at the beautiful Saint Anthon's College for the
final evening. Well, I'll be watching you tomorrow night at seven o'clock Eastern
time on News Nation. Leland Vetter, thank you for taking time tonight and
get a good night's sleep and get out it Monday and Tuesday. And once
again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you Leland,
Thanks Bill, God bless you. Let's continue with more. Now you
got it. The party that's running against Trump on democratic issues refuses to let
Democrats vote for Joe Biden in a primary. They don't want them to be
embarrassed. In many states have done exactly the same thing. They're going to
have no races whatsoever, and all these democratic primaries they don't matter because those
in charge in the smoke filled rooms have said that Joe Biden is going to
be our nominee. But guess what, Neither Wayne Allen Root nor I actually
believe that. So let's continue with more. And once again, the Tailor
Swift phenomenon continued tonight as the Buffalo Bills went down hard despite my protestations,
twenty seven to twenty four. Kansas City is on. Taylor Swift. Experience
continues next Sunday in Baltimore, and that'll be uh Lamar Jackson will take care
of Taylor Swift. Let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham, the Great American,
with you every Sunday night, Billy Cunningham, the great American. And
you sense from Leland Viddert of News Nation the excitement happening tonight in New Hampshire.
When a political rock star shows up and that rock star is Donald Trump.
Had that big rally tonight, It's like a grateful dead concert. The
true believers show up and believe me, they're going to vote. And now
with Dessantu's gone, of course, he was never never really in it.
He had nothing going terrible at retail politics. That now it's a two horse
race. One is secretariat and the other one's heading for the glue factory.
And secretariat of course is Donald Trump. And Nicky Haley would shock the world.
I think if she beat the Donald in New Hampshire shocked the world.
Right, if that happened, I don't believe it will. I do not
believe that the true believers in New Hampshire, having looked at other Democrats have
viciously and personally attacked Donald Trump, that they're going to turn on this political
rock star and not give him support when he badly needs great support. I
don't believe it's going to go that way. I think that the Donald's going
to get fifty two to fifty three percent of the vote, beat Nicky Haley.
Then in about two weeks head to North South Carolina and beat her in
her home state. Then it's over. So by the end of by the
first part in February, certainly by the end of February, it's over.
It's going to be number one Joe Biden, who the Democrats complained about democracy
and then have no primaries. They're going to have Joe Biden the next few
weeks or a few months. And then on the other side, Donald Trump's
going to be the nominee as he fights a ninety one count felony indictment put
on him by Democrats for political purposes that will put him in prison for the
rest of his natural life. In addition to that, seek to destroy all
of his businesses. They want him bankrupt, wearing a wheelbarrow selling flowers on
a street corner after his parole from prison. That's what they want for the
leadership of the opposition party. How is that fair politics? How is that
support for democracy? When you imprison the leader of the opposition party and pin
him down in court so he can't campaign. That's why I think normal people
in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and then Nevada will arise like a mighty
tsunami and make sure that Donald Trump is the nominee of the Republican Party.
Delay the trials elected Donald and away we go because he will fix the southern
border and no Democrat will not even close. It will not happen. Stay
tuned for more next ups. Congressman Warren Davidson, he's a member of the
Freedom Caucus. I'm gonna ask him speak of the House, Mike Johnson,
should it? Should he be fired? Let's continue with more the line becomes
available eight sixty six six four seven, seven three three seven. Bill Cunningham,
the Great American and other great Americans with you, every Sumner, Billy
Cunningham, the Great American, and of course Congressman Warren Davidson is a former
military officer graduated from Notre Dame and also West Point, who is also a
member of the Freedom Caucus. And he's been in office now about seven or
eight years. And I like to think he represents conservative values and generally he
receives very high ratings from Heritage and other groups. And Congressman Warren Davidson,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham show and Congressman. We'll talk about dissan Is
getting out of the race a bit later on. But there was a hope
that when Speaker of the House Johnson took over and that we had an agreement
more or less that conservative principles are going to be advanced, and that the
Southern border is the next essential threat to this great country. It involves the
deliberate dismantling of our country over the next twenty five years. I've seen the
stats on this, and we're going to have about an additional one hundred million
or so called refugees inside this country by the year twenty fifty. At that
the rate we're going, if it doesn't stop, we're not going to have
a country left. And I had great hopes that you Republicans in the House
would stand firm and not agree to a cr and not agree to any help
for Ukraine or even Israel until the White House agreed on the southern border to
seriously change the direction of what's happening there. So, can you tell the
American people give us a report as to what happened a few days ago that
allowed almost all the Democrats and a lot of the Republicans to go with another
cr and how that's good for the American people. Yeah, thanks for allowing
me to join you, Willie. It's always an honor. And you know,
a full report. Well go back to when uh Speaker McCarthy was being
relieved of his duties. Uh, you know, I wrote it out ed
shortly after that. It said, you know, we're asking the wrong question.
Uh not who should be the next speaker, but what's the plan that
unites the conference and unites all the Republicans there? Because with a narrow majority,
you know, we only really have a majority if we work together to
use it. And we have on lots of things like immigration past HR two,
which would fundamentally change a lot of the policies that the Biden administration has
abused. Uh, you know, if if they were implemented and became law.
The triple is when we only pass it through the House. Uh,
you know, it's not a law. And so how do we force that.
There are only a handful of things that ultimately have to pass, and
one of the big ones is four year funding. So that was the hope
that we would be able to get, you know, everybody to unite behind
a plan to do that. The Speaker says he doesn't believe that he has
the votes to do it, and we've left it saying, well, then
please just call the vote so that everyone in the country can see where their
member of Congress stands. You know, maybe in some districts they think not
a big deal, don't worry about the border. That's not what they think.
In southwest Ohio, I don't think that's what they think. In most
of the country. You get Eric Adams sand the boarder is a big deal.
You get Democrat districts thinking it's a big deal. And frankly, we
did a non binding Sense of Congress that Biden's border policies are failing, which
is, you know, a complicated way to essentially send a letter saying,
hey, we don't think you're doing a good job. But we at least
got all the Republicans to say that and fourteen Democrats. Now those are the
words. The question is what are the deeds. How are we going to
get to doing it? And that's where everyone loses their result. And we
had much higher hopes for the Speaker, and look, he only passed by
one vote. A majority of House Republicans, multiple chairman of his committees,
the conference chair atleis Stefonic, and lots of us voted against this. So
only by one vote did he get fifty percent of Republicans. So, yeah,
he's in a bad spot, and he should take take heed and say,
yeah, I'm messing up. How do I get back on the right
track? Because I guarantee you he wouldn't have got the votes to be the
Speaker if he told us he was going to call the plays that he's been
calling. And so from the Freedom Caucus perspective, there were promises made by
Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana about two or three months ago. Has his promises
been kept? Well, I don't think so. But here's the problem.
You know, I can't speak for the whole Freedom Caucus or frankly for all
Republicans, but I can tell you I was reluctant to vote because I didn't
think we had done all the work. And look, I think that the
right answer is that he needs to make the right decision and then put pressure
on colleagues to vote the right way. And to me, that means we're
going to fund the government. We're only going to fund the government to secure
as the border. And even if we don't have the votes, I'm at
the point where you don't have to guarantee me we got the votes, but
you should call the vote so that everyone can see. You know, it's
an election year. We're basically out there asking the American people to send us
reinforcements. Now. I don't know what prospects are for the Democrats. I
don't know what they could say they've done well. It seems to me the
past three years have been a disaster under Joe Biden. But you know,
they'll make their pitch and we'll make ours. But I want more recorded votes
so that the American people know where their members of Congress stands, so that
the right reinforcements show up. And you know, as Republicans, I don't
want somebody that's just going to wear a red jersey. I want somebody's gonna
come do what we said we would do. And yeah, those policies conflict
with what Joe Biden promised to do. So the only way you're going to
do that is to have the fight. You can't just ask nicely sometimes and
the CR I mean, I know your heart, I know you're against these
crs. I know most conservative Republicans are against kicking the can down the road
to cr forever. This one goes to March first, which one is about
five six weeks from now, and here we are again and at some point,
at some point, we have to secure this other. Well, why
do we worry about the borders in Ukraine and Israel and don't worry about our
own southern border, which has sewn within it the deliberate dismantling of this country.
And I watch it going on, and it's unbelievable that we elect conservative
Republicans and you're certainly one of them, but many are not, and they
play the Washington two step game. And it's as a consequence, Biden's going
to get his way March first or March eighth, as some of the reporting
indicates, Congressman that many like you are going to oust the speaker if this
thing continues March April May, and we have continuing curs as far as the
eye can see, and we have three hundred thousand at least double that number
coming in every month. Would you vote to ol Speaker Mike Johnson? Well,
look, here's the situation. He wants to fund the government and get
on with dealing with Biden's supplemental request, which at this point we don't have
the full government funded, so I don't even know why they call it supplemental.
They should just put it all together. But if he puts funding for
Ukraine on the floor, I do think there'll be a call to remove him
as Speaker. And because numerous people have promised they will make the motion,
Marjorie Taylor Green is maybe the most outspoken on that. I don't think she's
bluffing at all. And so the question is some Democrats have come up and
said, yeah, we'll back him. Well in a way, that's great
because that can show the American people, well, who is the governing coalition
here, because it's no longer if he's going to make play calls like that,
you know, we don't want to fund our government if they won't secure
the border. But you've got people that aren't content unless they fund for more
wars and more places, and they would they were so committed to funding all
these wars that they would go along with something that they don't really want to
and the framework that was released on that's a disaster. It would be worse
than passing nothing that essentially funds all of the Biden status quo policies with minor
tweaks to say, oh, but I will take care of some of the
other you remain in Mexico policies. Basically, I won't grant parole to people
unless they cross at the right entry points and do it the right way.
That's sucking. That such an empty concession. It's unbelievable. It's offensive to
me that you say, oh, you can defend your country as long as
you agree to spend tens of billions more on somebody else defending their country.
And most of that's borrowed. Of course, it's borrowed money. It's not
like it's printing press money and it's borrowed money. And we're we have thirty
four trillion dollars and there's no style it and no accountability for the money when
we send it over. Now, look, I'm inspired when Zelenski says I
don't need a ride out of the country, I need I need ammunition to
fight the war. I mean, it was an inspiring statement. And they've
done an amazing job holding the line against an invasion from Russia. But frankly,
they don't have the combat power to kick Russia out of their country.
No, I think they know it. It doesn't matter how much money we
send over to them. They don't have the manpower to do it. And
that's the other thing. I've asked for a mission, please define the mission
from the administration. And you know, we get one hundred and twenty nine
votes on that in Congress back in July. But I think now that's broadly
the sentiment amongst Republicans. So the idea that the Speaker would put something on
the floor to fund Ukraine without a secure border. Having passed a terrible spending
bill, which is his current plan, is to greet another four corners deal
with Chuck Schumer. This spends more money then what we said. Two thirds
of the House and two thirds of the Senate last May said they would spend
less money. And so this framework breaks that agreement that was passed under McCarthy.
Everyone said, oh, what a terrible deal under McCarthy. Well,
now, how are you going to praise praise Johnson for the deal he just
cut. Did you make a mistake in voting for him? Well, I
said, I think it might might turn out to be one of the worst
votes I've ever made. In some ways, because yeah, like I said,
we didn't agree on the plan, so we didn't set anybody up for
success, no matter who ended up being the job getting the job. But
I do think the default mode needs to be that we're going to do what
we said we would do, and yeah, what we said we were going
to do is in conflict with Joe Biden. Joe Biden said he was going
to have open borders. He campaigned on it. People showed up at the
border We're in Biden for President t shirts because they knew, hey, this
guy promised to open the border and he has. Biden kept his promises,
and Republicans have not kept their promises. So one thing you can say about
the Marxist socialist, the man who's corrupt, Joe Biden, his family are
corrupt, and he's of course mentally deficient, is that he someone around him
keeps a promise that I want the southern border to be wide open. I
want one hundred million illegals to come into this country between now and the year
twenty fifty, one hundred million. What that'll do to the ers and the
highways and the bridges, and what it'll do to emergency rooms and to education
what it'll do to the environment is unbelievable. But it's almost as if the
Republican Party ran on the idea we're going to secure the southern border. We
got this conservative from Louisiana with little experience, Speaker Mike Johnson. He's made
his promises, and the first major skirmish, he broke his promise and passed
it with fifty point one percent of Republican vote and a whole bunch of Democrats
love what he did. And we're left here again with another cr And it's
like someone's political head needs to roll on this deal. Would you agree?
Well, that's where a lot of people are frustrated. Look, believe me,
you get in the arena and you're in there. Look, I can't
deliver on my promises if it was to push the colleagues to do what we
said we would do. Instead, it's basically pushing out excuse after excuses to
why we can't do what we said we would do. Well, if you're
going to surrender, it's hard to win, you know what I mean.
It doesn't take a lot of planning. Why you drag this all the way
out to March if you just plan it on surrendering in the first place.
You know, this, all this drama to deliver on nothing is really I
mean, there are people that went along with what the speaker asked them to
do and voted for it. The level of unhappiness with this guy is off
the charts right now. And he's a good man, I really, I'm
sure he's a good guy. I'm sure. But it's a Washington two step.
Hardly ever does a liberal go into Washington and become conservative. Conservatives go
into Washington and become liberal. Why is that? I always told people it's
like Nascar. Everyone gets in their race and they just turn left. I'm
like, I just want you to do what you said you would do,
and you know, thankfully a lot of them do. I'm inspired by a
lot of my colleagues. I don't want to trash the whole place, but
we are frustrated because you see the results. The results are out there,
we can watch them and see them. And my question is, can we
at least start holding people accountable for it? And You've got it right.
People say one thing and then they do another. But be clear, there
are a lot of people who can't do what they want to do because they
can't get the speaker to put it on the floor. Secondly, Congressman Warren
Davidson, what are the two or three things that you would like to see
done in the Freedom Caucus on the southern border that seemingly worked under Donald Trump?
What are the two or three things that are must be done to save
the United States of America down the road? What must be done on the
southern border? Yeah, great question. We see HR two. People don't
really know what's in there. And we just went down to the border with
the Speaker. Thought it was a great trip, that was inspiring all that.
But one of the Borti pro agents phrased it really well. He said,
look, I don't need more buckets. I need somebody to turn the
fire hydrant off, you know, which is stop the flow of these people
coming in. The Bide administration wants to just give everybody more money. Democrats
will say, oh, Republicans didn't want to fund border security, and we
don't want to fund resettling more illegals all over the country, so you've got
to turn that off. No funding for interior resettlement, I mean, there's
no way for the money, whether it's from directly from the federal government.
Or here's the other thing. They launder hundreds of millions of it through nonprofits,
and the nonprofits technically pay the bill, but they pay the bill with
the federal money that got sent to them in order for them to do what
they're doing, which is, you know, to essentially run a travel agency
to relocate people all over the country. So you've got to cut that funding
off. You need you need to detain families together, detain everyone together at
the border until they're able to have their case adjudicated. Indefinite detention or immediate
release, so you're free to go. You don't have to stay here even
a day. You can go back across the border and get out. But
but if you want to be technically in America waiting your trial, you're not
free to run about the country. You're in detention, and that that disrupts
the whole model. And I think one of the other things that's really tragic
is you go down there, they the biometrition has stopped collecting biometric data on
everyone, and they need to collect biometric on biometric data on everyone, but
they don't collect any data on minors because they say they want to protect their
privacy. I'm like, I don't buy that, because it's not like you're
making public all the other people's data. You protect their privacy, right,
Oh yeah, well we're protecting privacy. But like, well, let's be
clear, there's no excuse for not collecting it on the miners, so you
have to collect you know, Congressman, it is so obvious that even Senator
John Fetterman, who obviously has severe physical slash mental problems because of his stroke,
which could strike anybody at any point, but doesn't mean you should be
in the US Senate if you have serious effects of a stroke. But Fetterman
said, the migration crisis threatens to destroy the American dream that comes from Pennsylvania
Democratic Senator John Fetterman. And if he's figured this out, I think all
of us should figure it out. Well. Once again, Congressman, good
luck to you in the Freedom Caucus. It's profoundly disappointed the Speaker Mike Johnson
has not kept his word to the American people and to you. And let's
pray to God that there's some significant change in the Biden administration in the next
six weeks on the southern borders. Unlikely to happen, but it's required,
even according to John Fetterman, the American dream is going to be a nightmare
if this continues. Congressman Warren Davidson, West Point Graduate went to former Army
officer once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and
with your permission, we'll do it again. Thank you, Congressman. Yeah,
always an honor. God bless you and your listeners, and God bless
America. Let's continue. It's more, How is it possible that Senator John
Fetterman has this thing figured out but the Freedom Caucus can't impose its will on
Speaker Mike Johnson? Are you kidding me? Let's continue. Bill Cunningham,
the Great American with you and all great Americans every Sunday night, Billy Cunningham,
the Great American. Warren Davidson is a rock ribbed Republican who says that
Speaker Johnson has lost his way. He wants to do a deal with Chuck
Schumer instead of holding firm and saying that the survivability of this country's at stake,
there must be a stay in stay in Mexico policy. The Mexican Army
must guard, must declare war on the war lords in northern Mexico. That
makes life they're impossible for Texans and others. And if it doesn't happen,
America doesn't exist. And I think many of us feel that way. So
I want to compliment the Freedom Caucus and Warren Davidson for doing their duty.
Next up, of course, is Wayne Allen Root from Las Vegas to give
us his perspective on what's happening now with the southern border and what's happening with
the election now that Dessantus is gone. And Wayne Allen roods about the best
there is. Plus later on as Steve Molloy to talk about the climate's colder
than a well digger's behind, that's going to get colder. Phill Cunningham,
the Grant American with you every Sunday, Willie Rock You by Choice Hotels Econo
Lodging will Willian Hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying stay book at
Choice Hotels dot com. Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best,
the recipient of not one but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast exodence,
the one and only Bill Cunningham. Bill Cunningham, the Great American,
of course, Wayne Allen Root to live in Las Vegas is a great prognosticator,
former vice presidents or candidate Libertarian Party, predicted so many things correctly.
I read his stuff every day. Got the website up right now, Wayne
en Route, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Wayne and looks
like this so called mainstream media and others wants to hype up Tuesday. What's
going to happen in New Hampshire? Now this is the uh, this is
the moment for Nicky Haley to shine as the Santas heads to South Carolina,
which is a which is the home state of Nicki Haley. I don't know,
but is the media hyping something here that, of course is unreal.
It can't happen that Simon Nicki Haley is going to beat Donald Trump in New
Hampshire and that the Santus is going to beat Donald Trump in South Carolina.
Is that in the real world? No? I mean, look, I
feel bad for the status because he never stood a chance. You know,
last March I predicted for the moment or talking about March of twenty twenty three,
from the moment that Manhattan da Alvin Bragg, you know, decided to
indict President Donald J. Trump on the most ridiculous, fake false charges in
the history of the world, with no jurisdiction, and already you know the
actual supposed crime, the time had lapsed. You couldn't even prosecute him.
When people saw that, they realized that Trump is our last hope. They
realized that Trump's the guy they're aiming the cannons that bill, because he's the
guy that will upset the apple cart, and he's the guy that will into
the deep state cabal that's destroying our country. He's the only one they're scared
at. They've never aimed their Canada nickis Helly. They've never aimed him at
DeSantis. So from that moment on, which was March of last year,
DeSantis never had a chance. And Nicki Helly doesn't have a chance. And
look what happened to the Santas at Iowa. De Santa's gambled. His whole
campaign is out of money, is that of donors. His pack is broke.
He gambled every dollar he had left, and he put every volunteer.
He literally had him camp out in Iowa. He traveled to ninety nine counties.
He did a great job I'm not against Ronda Stantas, but after traveling
to ninety nine counties, it was a total repudiation. All ninety nine counties
voted against Ron Santas. Trump won ninety eight of them, and Nicki Helly
won the last one by one vote. And that's only because it's the county
Johnson County that includes the University of Iowa. So it's got all these college
kids who were Democrats who got in the Republican clocks just to vote against Trump,
and they only beat him by one vote. So Descanta's got repudiated by
ninety nine, ninety nine counties after literally moving in the Florida governor was living
in Iowa for months and campaigning day and night, and he gambled everything and
he lost. There is no path to victory. Ron DeSantis needs to drop
out. Now. Let's let's quickly hit to Nicky Elly. She's she's gonna
do better. Obviously, you see the polls. Trump's winning by seventeen points
in New Hampshire, but Nikki Helly's in second, and so she's a distant
second. Then we go to Nevada, where I live, and very few
people understand is in Nevada primary and in Nevada caucus, nobody understands that the
primary does nothing. It's meaningless. So the only person signed up for it
was Nicki Nelly, did you know that the only person in the primary two
days later is the caucus. The caucus uses voter ID and you must be
a Republican for thirty days prior to the caucus, so we know nobody's getting
in as a Democrat. So we are gambling everything on the caucus. Trump's
that I want to caucus only. So who's in the calocus Trump to stanis
and the who no longer is in the race. So Trump's could win one
on one against the status by fifty points in Nevada in the caucus. And
then we move out to South Carolina, where poll show he's beating Nicky by
thirty in South Carolina if it ever goes, because he'd be so embarrassed to
lose by forty in his own state where he's governor right now. So he's
gone, and Nicky, hell, he'll be gone either after Hampshire or certainly
after South Carolina once she's repudiated in her own home state. Trump is the
numb and knee. Everyone needs to stop being delusional. It's Trump. Well,
the other issue that a party that's running on threats to democracy. Boy,
Democrats say Trump is an authoritarian threat to democracy. They will not allow
Democrats to vote in the primary in New Hampshire. That DNC told the Democrats
in New Hampshire on Tuesday, don't bother that primary you're having. We're not
going to recognize wherever you pick. They're doing everything in their power to make
sure that either Congressman Dean Phillips or Marian Williamson or someone doesn't embarrass. So
how can you run on a platform of we're the party of democracy, we're
the Democrats the other sides of the threat to democracy when they're the ones indicting
and suing the leader of the Republican Party. And secondly they don't allow Democrats
to vote, but they're the but they are it's all about democracy. Isn't
that a farce? Well? Yeah, I mean, look, every Democrat
is a student of Salynsky, who wrote Rules for Radicals. And if you
ever read Rules for Radicals, one of the main concepts built is look in
the mirror and whatever you see, blame your opponent. So if you're a
hitler and you're you know, exhibiting Nazi like weaponization of government. You look
at Trump, but you call him Miller. And if you are anti democracy,
you look at Trump but say he's the threat to democracy. And if
you've opened the borders to destroy the United States, blame Trump, it says,
somehow it's got to be Trump's fault, or it's climate change, it's
anything but you who you see staring back at you in the mirror. It's
always blamed the other guy, always disinformation. And that's what's going on as
usual. You know, to say that Trump is a threat to democracy when
they're the ones trying to qualify Trump and get him off the ballot, and
they're the ones trying to put Trump in jail for life, it's pretty funny.
And it's you know, it's kind of like you're standing there with a
grenade in your hand. You're saying, you know, you're suicidal, You're
you're blaming you. You know, you look at the policeman and going,
you are suicidal, But you've got the grinna eat in your hand and you've
taken the clip out. Well, who's suicidal. You're the one that's about
to blow everybody up. So it's you know, you call that guy a
crazy guy, and you'd say he's got mental illness. Well, the Democrat
Party certainly has mental illness. You can see it every day in every way.
Who would want to take the greatest nation and the issue of the world
that's lifted more people out of poverty, more Black people out of poverty,
more Latino people out of poverty, more gay people out of poverty, more
women out of poverty, more Muslims out of poverty, that any country in
the history of the world combined. And yet you want to destroy it by
letting the whole world invade our country. And by the way, who would
want to turn us into China? Do you want one point six billion Americans?
No? Do you want the whole world here? Can you imagine the
pollution? Can you imagine the crime? Can you imagine the disease? You
know, the countries that are large are poverty stricken India and China. Everyone
has nothing, Everyone lives in abject poverty, and everyone lives in disease in
you know, tenements where disease runs wild because there are fifty people living in
each room. Is that what we want for America? That's what they want
their crazy mental illness is defines the Democrat Party when Alan Root to have the
emergency rooms overwhelmed. Look what's happening in Denver, to have housing completely destroyed,
to have a public school system. There's one hundred thousand illego alien kids
in New York City public schools. There's no education taking place in almost any
large public school district. There may be the desire by good teachers to teach,
but they can't teach because of the behavior of the students. Plus there's
seventy eight different languages and dialects being taught, and teachers are told, don't
send this kid back to the principal's office. You have failed. And on
the front you bring up Alvin Braggs. What he did was indict the leader
of the Republican Party for putting the wrong name and the wrong amount on a
form that should have been a campaign contribution with the porn Star instead of what
it was was to keep that quiet. He came up with a novel theory,
and that case is languishing. And the worst case is Fannie Willis in
Atlanta with Nathan Wade. Seemingly she paid her boyfriend three quarters of a million
dollars when he had no experience trying these important criminal cases, so they could
go on vacation around the world, drink fancy wine and eat fancy food.
And now she's playing the race card. So the party of racism, the
party that causes racism, is now calling the other side racist. And now
Fanny Willis in Atlanta is claiming, you know what, this is an attack
on a proud black woman. And uh, also, it is ridiculous.
I can't stand it. And I hope the American people figure out what's happening
to them and what the Democrats have not done for them, especially black folks.
And is that changing in your mind that especially black males have figured this
thing out a little bit? Yeah, I believe. So I'm about to
write a commentary that you know, if Trump campaigns black, he will go
back to the White House. That's the title of my next column. By
the way, if Trump campaigns black, he will go back to the White
House. And I do believe that you have to campaigns from this following sery.
You've got, you know, seventy percent of white folks, white middle
class folks, all of the United States. You don't have seventy percent by
the way, of the two hundred thousand and above who went to elite universities,
they've all been brainwashed, so many of them are liberals and woke.
So what you've got is seventy percent of the white middle class. So you
don't need to campaign with white less people anymore. You need to go after
one group and hammer it Black Americans or black plus minorities meaning Latinos. And
if you can get some percent, not fifty one percent, not eighty percent,
but like if you could add ten percent to your vote totals, if
instead of getting you know, ten percent of the black vote, donald Trump
gets twenty if he gets twenty five, if he gets instead of you know,
forty percent of Latino vote, forty six percent of Latino vote, that's
still a majority for the Democrats with both Latinos and black But Trump has raised
his totals so far they'll be the highest totals in the history of any Republican
And you will win the election by a landslide. If you can just get
a few percentage points of black and minority voters, you win a landslide.
There's no reason to go after anybody white anymore. And by the way,
I've made this recommendation for years that Trump should have rallies not in stadiums filled
with white people, but stadiums filled with people of color. Go to all
the inner cities and go to their stadiums and bring black crowds in. And
I'm telling you, we win this election by a landslide. And I've been
saying this for three years, but now is the time where everything I ever
saw as possible has happened. Blacks are so angry at open borders and all
the people coming in and stealing their jobs and stealing their money, that this
is the moment in time. You've seen it with blacks in Chicago. They're
actually saying they're going to vote Republicans in Chicago. They're saying they're going to
deliver Trump the state of Illinois. I don't know if that's ever gonna happen,
but it doesn't matter. Let them get an extra twenty percent in Chicago,
and let them get an extra twenty percent all over the country, in
La, in Miami, in New York, I don't care where it is,
Newark, I don't care if it's Camden. If you get more black
votes, you will win a lass slide. You already got the white middle
class. If you can't paign black you will go back to the White House.
When Allen wrote, I compare it to the Stockholm syndrome and which for
so many years, decades in general, black folks have put all their love
and support of the Democratic Party, and look what they've done to black folks
when it comes to job creation, health care, education, whatever, the
standard. The worst place to live is in a city, a blue city
and a blue state that the Democratic Party's controlled for fifty to one hundred years.
You're in serious trouble now. One thing that's got me fired up is
Peter Navarro. I've had him on several times. I'm sure you've had him
on former Trade advice mc donald Trump. He's wonderful. He's seventy five years
old. And he did not, according to Joe Biden's Justice Department, provide
sufficient documents relative to a subpoena issued in February of twenty twenty two. And
of course he went to trial in Washington, d c. Which is a
serious mistake because any Republican is going to be convicted there of everything. So
now the Justice Department wants to put Peter Navarro no previous criminal record in prison
for six months, while on the other hand, Hunter Biden is still negotiating
whether he's going to give a statement. Is he not going to give a
statement. He's got the cocaine on the gun pouch, he's got the laptop
from Hell in which he's taking millions of dollars, and all of a sudden,
Hunter Biden is a victim, and the media is on the side of
Hunter Biden. But the media wants Peter Navarro seventy five years old, not
locked up for six months providing inadequate information according to the Justice Department. How
ridiculous is that? Well you listen. If you think Navarro's ridiculous, what
about Donald Trump? No? Trump's done? What are his crimes? Can
anyone explain what crime he committed that actually is hurting the American people? Who
is the victim? Go to New York and talk about the civil trial.
They want to strip him of what I don't know, seven hundred million dollars
of his wealth. They want to ban him from business in New York for
the rest of his life. These people are crazy. What was his crime
and who was the victim? Is that one loan he took where they claim
he exaggerated, you know, the assets he had the value of the assets.
He's not one loan with a bank or complain. They're all happy they
got put back every single sense. He makes his payments on time every month.
All the bankers love Donald Trump. They do another deal tomorrow. So
how can it be a crime is there is no victim. This is the
worst. I mean, I hate to re beat Trump all the time.
It's the worst witch hunting the history of mankind. It's the worst witch hunt
of Jesus Christ. That's what it is. They're treating Trump like he's Jesus
Christ. And I got to tell you something. I think they're eventualist.
I've said it for months now. They are going from convictim, you know,
indict them and convict them and put them in jail, to disqualifying them.
And then the last one, if they can't do any of those,
is to assassinate m With the first one on record, Bill who said last
January January twenty three, I think it was on January twenty eighth, I
wrote a column to the Gateway Pundit and I said, get ready for five
terms of Obama because Michelle Obama is gonna be the nominate. It's never gonna
be Biden, and they're gonna push Michelle Obama in. I'ma has his next
puppet. Biden's been his puppet for four years. This was the third term
of Obama. He's the one in control. He's the one that was buying
on Trump. He's the one that put the finger on Trump for the indictments.
It's all Obama orchestrating everything, and Biden and everyone around him is a
puppet for Obama. Now you're gonna have Michelle Obama as a candidate, Mark
my words. I said it a year ago. I'll say it again.
Michelle Obama will be the candidate. She tipped it what she said the other
day. You know my worst nightmares at night. I'm staying up because this
idea that Trump could be elected is you know, has been so upset.
She is gonna walk up. She's gonna tell the American people. I never
wanted to be president. I don't like politics, I don't like campaigning.
I didn't want to do it, but I have to do it for my
country because I've got to stop a Nazi hitler like dictator Donald Trump for becoming
president, destroying democracy. I see it. The script has already written.
It's gonna be Obama, except it's not gonna be Barack. It's gonna be
Michelle, who's another proxy for Barack Obama. He wants five terms to finally
destroy the United States of America. And of course that solves the Kamala Harris
problem too. The box has checked. He'll push off to the side maker
or judge somewhere and away we go. Why, Alan Root, we running
for one hell of a ride this year. I'll tell you what. We're
blessed to have the platforms that we have. It's gonna be unbelievable. And
how did the American people, Wayne on the Root get ahold of you?
Of it all? Well? By the way, the Chinese people, great
Chinese wisdom. May you live in interesting times. Oh that's from like a
thousand years ago. It's probably confusion. May you live in interesting times.
We are cursed and we are blessed. There's definitely terrible evil things going on,
But boy, do we live in the most interesting times. And this
will be the most interesting year in the history of America, maybe in the
history of civilization. So sit back, get out the popcorn, get ready
to fight. Its gonna be a wild year. You find Wayne Root at
root for America dot com and Bill. Right at the top of my website,
it says watch Way on TV click here. Listen Away on the radio
click here. Listen to Wayne's podcast click here. So everything I do is
right there in front of you. You attached to it. Boom, You
click the tab and you're on my TV show. You click the tab,
you're on my radio show, and you'll find everything I do and how to
reach me right there and root for America dot com. Wayne, You're the
best there is of this kind of stuff. And once again let's keep the
lines of communication open. You're a great American. And thank you for coming
on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you Wayne. God bless you, Bill,
God Bless America. Let's continue with more Go Cunningham the Great American Live
with you every Sunday Night by Bully Cunningham the Great American. Whenever there's a
crisis occurring, you can rely upon the Democrats and others to make sure you
can monetize the crisis. Never let a big crisis go to waste. We
saw it with the pandemic. We saw it now with the southern border,
et cetera. We see it with the climate. I don't know where you
are, but I live in southwest Ohio. It's colder than the well diggers
behind. It's terrible, likely to get worse. So we'll see what occurs.
Every Time it's cold, it's global warming. When it's hot, it's
global warming. When it's dry, it's global warming. And when it's wet,
it's global warming. Whatever the question is, the answer is the same.
And so we anticipate that Steve molloy of the American Energy Institute can put
some muscle on the idea that we're in deep trouble and we're likely to be
in even deeper trouble if we continue these policies, especially when it comes to
EV's electric vehicles, which is a fraud. There's been a fifty percent reduction
in the month of December in the purchase of evs because they're unreliable, they're
expensive, and they're not good to travel in. And when you have to
replace the batteries, it's a twenty thousand dollars or more item. And so
the government, once again picking winners and losers, has picking you to be
a sap to buy an electric vehicle. Hopefully that'll stop. So let's continue.
Next up with Steve malloy, American Energy Institute that the Santa stepping down
a few hours ago was a shock to the system. I think in the
long run of benefit Donald Trump, which is necessarily a good thing. Let's
continue whenever stock, We simply continue. Bill Cunningham, the Great American,
with you and other great Americans every Sunday night, Billy Cunningham, the Great
American. Of course, for the last several days, in fact, two
or three weeks, we've had global warming everywhere. In fact, in Chicago
they've had the nastiest weather, coldest weather they've had in the past thirty five
years. I live in little Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Local Inquiry and
Channel nine has all the photos of nineteen seventy seven, nineteen seventy eight in
which individuals unlike myself I was there, walked across the Ohio River. Things
were cold. And at this point, because global warming politics pays a lot
of money, and it does the so called elite, the doctor plyding gay
crowd, wants to keep promoting it because they get paid well. Recently,
a coalition of climate and energy experts have sent a letter to the Speaker of
the House Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise to address key science, policy and
real world developments surrounding climate change narrative. And it's called the Wrong Again,
twenty twenty three edition, Hottest Lying Ever. And of course the great Steve
Molloy is a senior fellow at A and E and elsewhere, And Steve Molloy,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And can you give me the
highlights of the lies, distortions and more being told that as of twenty twenty
four has not occurred because of the bowling oceans and we're all going to die.
Well, Bill, thanks for having me back. Yeah, so you
know we heard I don't know how many times countless times at twenty twenty three
was the hottest year ever we've heard about as you mentioned the boiling oceans.
The boy, you know, we're in an era of global boiling. Of
course, none of this is true, this is even close to being true.
And moreover, it has nothing to do with emissions. So you know,
we are living in the era of the hottest lying in really one hundred
and twenty five thousand years, And so you know, just to eat it,
just knocking this easy stuff down. You know, global boiling. You
know, if there is an average temperature to the Earth, it's about fifty
eight degrees, which is a long way from boiling. The oceans are obviously
not boiling. We don't really have a good temperature record for the Earth,
you know. We believe that the last four interglacial period you know, between
ice ages, were warmer than the present. There were no SUVs, coal
plants or anything like that back then. So it's all a lot of nonsense.
And why is that? Because you would I can recall maybe you're a
relatively young man in the nineteen seventies, well, we had the coming ice
age headlines Newsweek, Time Magazine. I don't think they exist anymore. They
did exist, and it was all about how the sheet of ice, We're
going to have this ice flow out of the Arctic. We're all to die
again. And there wasn't enough money in that, so they switched to something
else. It is it fair to say that if it's a scandal, follow
the money, If it's Hunter Biden's laptop, follow the money. If it's
some Democratic contributors buying the art of Hunter Biden to get an ambassadorship. Follow
the money. Why is there so much money involved in myths and lies of
man made global warming as opposed to the opposite. We used to have a
coming ice age. Why is it happening? Yeah, so I can remember
the nineteen seventies I was in high school, and you're right, they were
called for a new ice age. And then all of a sudden, these
el nino started and became global warming, and they climb and change in extreme
weather and blah blah blah. Here we are today. You know, there's
lots of people that have interest in pushing this stuff. Obviously Democrats, American
leftists have you know, political reason for pushing this. It's all about control
of our lives. You know, rent seeking industries like the wind and sol
or and ev manufacturus. They just want to make a buck off taxpayers,
you know, guaranteed subsidies. And then you know the more worried, well,
they're all worrisome. But you know you've got the Chinese out there as
well. Now, the Chinese don't give a crap about emissions or climate or
the environment or anything. All they want, you know, their goal is
to be the lone global superpower by twenty forty nine. So of course they
are, you know, working with John Kerry and Joe Biden to push all
this green crap on us, which is just going to make us dependent on
communist China. You know, every time someone buys an electric car someplace,
they've just made they've made themselves. They've made us more dependent on communist China,
because you cannot build an EV without communist China. And as far as
the EV's your report to the Speaker of the House says, quote, now
a day go by without news of some other apocalyptic event happening on Earth,
the EV electric vehicle disaster or a problem. The supply chain includes child slave
labor in the Congo. Can you we're going to talk about how much each
EV really cost us, and they're completely dysfunctional in this environment. Nonetheless,
talk about the child labor and the killing of small black boys and girls in
the Congo, And what's happening in China. Now, how many babies have
to die before the liberals white wake up? Well, that's a great question.
So every EV battery, or the first of all of them, rely
on cobalt, and the vast majority of the world's cobalt comes from China via
these minds in the Congo that employed maybe forty thousand child laborers working in extremely
primitive, dangerous, brutal conditions. These children are charged with, you know,
going down into caves which can be very deep, chiseling cobalt out of
the walls, bringing it up in baskets, all very dangerous, and then
taking it to their Chinese masters for it to be weighed and for them to
be paid you know, the piddling sum, and then they go back and
do it as well. It's easy for them to get into these crevices to
find cobalt than it is for an adult. So and as far as the
taxpayer subsidies, your report says, quote, taxpayers are subsidizing the disaster of
electric vehicles to fifty thousand dollars per EV over ten year payer. Where do
those numbers come from? So those numbers come from the Texas Public Policy Foundation
and they have you know, run them for all the various state and federal
government subsidies. And so if you buy an EV over the next ten years,
your car will be sub subsidized to tune of about fifty thousand dollars,
which works out to subsidizing a gasoline powered car to the tune of seventeen dollars
per gallon. So, I mean it's really obscene. You know, the
whole evy thing is a disaster bill. I mean, they cost more,
they're of lower quality, they involve you know, child slave labor, communist
China. They don't work when it you know, cold weather. We're seeing
you. Everyone saw the video of Chicago, all the dead robots, you
know, right right, I mean, they just it's just inferior technology.
And the technology used to make our lives better for less money, and now
all this green stuff is making our lives worse for more money. And as
far as the arguments the other day before the US Supreme Court about reigning in
the administrative state, it appears that the liberals cannot put up with the idea
of a whale dying except if it's at the hands of a large wind turbine
in the middle of the ocean, in which case, and that if they're
killed, If thousands of whales and tunas and porpoise and dolphin die because of
wind turbine, that's okay with the liberals. Am I missing something? I
thought whales were like sacred species, except when they're killed by the liberals,
in which case it's kind of like collout damage. Yeah, So fifty years
ago, in nineteen seventy three, Green Peace started this Saved the Whales campaign,
like everybody, everybody saw all the bumper stickers, right. Well,
fifty years later, you know, it's become killed the Whales and Green pieces
supporting kill the whales because the Biden administration, using Inflation Reduction Act money,
is financing the construction of all these wind turbans offshore. And these wind turbans,
you know, the construction is very dangerous for marine life, especially for
whales, for dolphins, porpoises, seals. It screws up their navigation and
you know, sends these whales, you know, makes it more likely to
run into ships where they wind up dead. And so in twenty twenty three
we saw like, you know, more than sixty dead whales wash up on
the shore on the East coast because of this, and the government is saying,
well, you know, we're not sure that it's the offshore wind's doing
because well, like like we're supposed to have video of this, you know,
it's like there's a there's no zapruder film for it. Well, it's
happening. And the thing that just is flabbercasting is that the leadership of academia,
the leadership in Hollywood, the leadership of the newspapers, the leadership at
CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, it is always looking for
an angle that something is wrong with gasoline powered cars and something's right with evs.
And as far as the cost the cast, it's about five thousand dollars
to upgrade your own personal electricity in your house. But if you live in
an apartment or condo without that, or if you want to take a trip
right now, say from Cincinnati to Chicago and it's really cold, it could
be life threatening if you listen to the liberals, and do you see any
hope of reversing this or is it so ingrained into the culture that we're going
to continue to pursue electric vehicles at the expense of the lives of black boys
in the Congo and empowering the red Chinese. Do you, Steve Milloy,
do you have any hope at all that in the next five or ten years
this can be turned around? In reality? Does exist? Well, I
do you know. But as long as Joe Biden and these leftist Democrats are
charged. No, so everyone has a chance and ive ever to fix the
situation. If the situation gets fixed with a new administration, you had,
the offshore windmills will stop. Uh. You know you can get you can
get Congress to stop subsidizing the electric vehicles. We can reclaim the funds from
the inflationial reduction neck, you know, if you get a new government in
Washington, which is what we need because our current government is you know what,
this is terrible. We need a new government and things can be can
can be changed. As far as how are people going to feel about it,
well, I think most people will like the result. Just remember the
Trump years. You know, people like the result. You know, until
we've got the COVID will will will The left fight back, of course,
because you know they're terrified. You know, they're in panic mode right now
because they see Trump on the right. Yeah, they're trying to jam all
this stuff through as fast as they can. And they you know, John
Kerrey said that all those climate stuff is just irreversible at this point. Well,
no it's not. I spoke to a Ford dealer in Southwest Florida who
said they don't take EV's anymore in trade, and I said, you don't
want to take them in trade? He said, they're dangerous. How many
fires have taken place of EV's in the batteries inside garages and burned down the
entire home. He said, the ev we can't sell them in the secondary
market, so we wholesale them out and think about it. Explain that process.
Well, look, half of Ford dealers refuse to sell EV's and GMS
had to buy out half of its buick dealers who don't want to sell evs.
So nobody wants evs. There's no money in it. You know,
Ford was losing sixty thousand dollars per EV So how you can stay in business,
I don't know. Thank God for subsidies, right, Yeah, these
things are very dangerous. They just sort of spontaneously catch fire. You know,
there's no warning. You know, one day they're going to start catching
fire in underground garages and office buildings and apartment buildings. You can't put them
out very easily. It's very dangerous. We've got, you know, these
EV buses. You know, there's a great video on the Internet of a
line of German buses. One just spontaneously combusts and blows up the whole.
You know, who wants to That doesn't happen with gasoline. You know,
your gasoling car does not spontaneously combust for no reason. And as far as
getting them towed, I'm told that half the tow truck operators will not toe
and EV because of the weight and also the danger. Any injury, any
damage to an EV means that the entire package has to be replaced, which
is fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. But explain how they're so dangerous that tow
truck operators don't want to touch them. Well, they're very heavy. The
batteries you know, if you have a conventional car was pounds twenty to fifteen
pounds something like that. Well, an EV battery weighs about thousand pounds,
and so this is you know, so they are a lot heavier. They're
harder to put tow truck winches, aren't. They aren't designed for that,
just like parking garages are not designed for just you know, all these evs
me parking garages are going to need to be re engineered because they're going to
collapse. As everyone is forced to drive an EV. Roads are going to
wear a way faster, tires are going to wear a way faster. There's
you know, it's a technology that is just not ready for prime time.
Yeah, Speaker of the House, with many others, there's some letter that
hit the Wall Street Journal. Hundreds of scientists said that the effect of global
warming, so called you caused by humans is insignificant. That, well,
you've spent centuries in which the Arctic was like a jungle. We've spent millennia
with the equator being a snowball. Right now, we went through decades of
global cooling and the new ice Age was coming. Now it's just the opposite.
Do you think that these kinds of Number one, your viewpoint doesn't get
dissemination on the so called mainstream media, But secondly, that this letter has
it any measurable impact with the Speaker of the House Johnson, Well, I
mean, you know, I think he's a he's a good guy. I
think he's got good heart. But of course, all these guys you got
to sit on and watch. You can't just assume they're going to do the
right thing. You know, they've got a million issues in front of them.
Their staffs are very young and ignorant. You know, all these staffers
are in their twenties right right, and they all grew up with being propag
propagandaized and brainwashed with climate idiocy. So you just never know, and you
have to go in there and you have to stay in touch with them,
and you have to educate continually. You can't just assume that they're always going
to do the right thing, because they're not. And that's just the reality.
So you know, we're we're letting Speaker Johnson know that you know,
climate has falling apart. You Net zero is nonsense. The whales are being
killed, the eds are failure, the whole ESG movement has so you know,
we ought not be doing the clean us and safest environment in the world.
We don't really need to be doing more. We don't really need to
be chasing. We've got serious problems ahead now. We got big problems right
now right now. You know, if liberals believe this was a real thing,
would we admit another twenty to thirty million people into America causing more pollution,
more use of the of the highways and the emergency rooms and the public
schools. If it was really an issue, You wouldn't hear all the liberals
saying open up the southern born and bringing another fifty to one hundred million people.
If it was a real problem, they would say, that's a lot
of pollution coming in. We don't want that. But they don't want to
do that, do they. I hadn't thought about this until now, Bill,
but you're absolutely they have no carbon footprint. You know, it used
to be that the environmental groups all opposed immigration for that reason, right,
because they didn't want them coming here and you know, adding to the economy
and whatever. But now because you know, the goal has always did to
you know, bring about communism and control and destruction of freedoms in America.
So now they, of course we're gonna be letting in ten million illegal You
don't care. No, we don't care what the footprint is. We don't
care. We just we want to keep power. It's all about keeping and
dispensing power. Whoever's control of the checkbook in Washington, that's where the power
is. And they got control of the checkbook. Well, Steve Maloy,
we got to run once again your letter to the Congress. Hopefully I have
some impact. One classic statement you make is quote not to day seems to
go by without news of some sort of ev disaster or problem from the supply
chain that includes child slave labor in the Congo and communists China, sourcing of
key materials to low consumer demand because of a high prices inconvenience and poor performance,
to outo industry financial losses, job cuts and labor problems, to the
outer waste of taxpayer money through the Inflation and Reduction Act. Evs are becoming
a casebook study and the failure of government industrial policy could not be said better.
And last week we have thirty seconds remaining. Every time Ford sells an
EV how much money does it lose? Somewhere between thirty and sixty thousand dollars
per evy. In November twenty twenty three it was sixty thousand dollars per ev
sixty thousand. I'd quit selling. If I'm losing sixty thousand dollars every time
I sell something, I'd quit selling the damn thing. And maybe Farley they
see you is in more trouble than we think you sixty thousand we lost.
Let's quit selling those before. Dealers won't even take them in trade anymore.
It's unbelievable. Oh I Steve molloy and hopefully your letter has some impact with
the American Energy Institute. Steve molloy, once again, thank you for coming
on the Bill Cunningham Show. You're a great American. Steve. Thank you
very much. Bill, thank you very much. God bless thank you.
Well. Let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham, the Grand American live with
you every Sunday night. It's the Marketer's Report today. Capital One's chief brand
Officer, Mark Mintry weighs in on building loyalty with customers. Capital One is
really worked. I want to thank Leland Vittert and Congressman Warren Davidson and went
out and route and Steve Mloir for coming on this Sunday night. There was
a shock to the system when Dessantus a few hours ago stepped down. Of
course didn't make any difference if he wasn't gonna win anyway. Nonetheless, it
gives I think his goal is to help Nicki Haley. We'll see what happens
on Tuesday in New Hampshire. I pray to God that Trumpster lights her up,
as if he didn't there, he's going to beat her up in South
Carolina. He's the nominee of the Great Republican Party. We must win this
election once again. Bill Cunningham, the great American, with you and all
other great Americans every Sunday night,
