1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:11.039
Check. That's the check that you
enter it now, Bill Cunningham, the

2
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.359
Great America, welcome this warious Tuesday
afternoon in the Tri States Promiera. Later

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.359
will be Julie Gunlock on the Independent
Women's Forum about how to handle it if

4
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:22.839
your son and daughter comes to you
and says, mommy, I want to

5
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.559
transition to some other gender, one
of the one hundred and five different genders.

6
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.280
What do you do as a parent
with that situation? Plus another ugly

7
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:36.159
thing's happening in Ohio about thirty percent
of the public school kids are chronically absent

8
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.079
from school. She will address herself
to that, but until then. Orlando

9
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:45.600
Sanza is the Republican candidate for Congress
against Greg Landsman, who spent many years

10
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.759
on city council. He pictures himself
one way in the district, then another

11
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:55.119
way in Washington, and Orlando's written
a rather interesting column calling him out on

12
00:00:55.159 --> 00:01:00.479
that. Orlando, you're the Republican
nominee for the first congressional district I think

13
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.960
for the first time to the Bill
Cunningham Show in Orlando, will you tell

14
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.680
the American people what your column is
about and how many Democrats are one way

15
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.840
in the district then another way in
Washington. That's right, Bill, Thanks

16
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.719
so much for having me. It's
great to be on your show. Listen.

17
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:22.719
The crux of my op ed is
that we seem to have problem creators

18
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.680
and not problem solvers, self proclaimed
problem solvers in Washington, and Greg Landsman

19
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.879
is one of them. Here is
a guy that professes to be a problem

20
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.079
solver on a bipartisan problem solvers caucus. He ran on a platform for putting

21
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:44.480
American families first, but yet he
goes to Washington and he does the complete

22
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:49.159
opposite. He creates problems, exacerbates
problems for the people of the first District,

23
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.560
and that actually does not put American
families first. What's the prime example,

24
00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.439
Well, this whole speakership debacle that
unfolded, you know two to three

25
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.400
weeks ago, where we have a
vacuum and a void now in Congress without

26
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:09.199
a Speaker of the House because we
ousted Speaker McCarthy. We have effectively shut

27
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:15.159
down our US House representatives from actually
doing the serious work that the American people

28
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:21.639
need them to do. And Greg
Lansman was one of those problem creators when

29
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:29.560
he sided with the eight extreme Matt
Gates and his seven crew to oust McCarthy

30
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.759
and then effectively closed down Congress.
It was Landsman and the rest of the

31
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.560
Democratic Party that created the chaos that
we now see unfolding day by day.

32
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.560
You know, Orlando, I call
Matt Gates is from the Panhanno of Florida

33
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.719
kind of King. Jeffries is the
leader of the Democrats in Washington. I

34
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.639
call him a King Gates because it
is one thing to say, you know,

35
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.240
I'm a conservative Republican, but then
when you vote with Nancy Pelosi and

36
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.400
you vote with a King Jeffries,
you're not a conservative Republican. You're a

37
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.360
rhetorical bomb thrower without resolution. I've
had on many of the congressmen, spoke

38
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.199
to them, and they will freely
tell you that we went to the problem

39
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.520
solving Caucus and the House of Representatives, of which there's about ten or eleven

40
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.199
Republicans, ten or eleven Democrats.
Okay, they said, here's a problem.

41
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.439
Ninety six percent of Republicans are voting
one way. We need some help

42
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:28.479
from you. They go check things
out with Nancy Pelosi and Greg Lansman and

43
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.039
others are not going to bail the
Republicans out. Am I on the right

44
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:37.240
track here? You hit the nail
on the head. We call that hypocrisy,

45
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:43.439
we call that failure of leadership,
and the American voters are not going

46
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.360
to stand for it. Oh well, we'll see what occurs. But some

47
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.080
might say, let me play devil's
advocate, as Tony Bender would like.

48
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:58.199
Are you saying that you're anticipating Democrats
politically to solve a Republican problem? That's

49
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.719
what Tony Bender would say. Lano
Sonza, what do you say, Well,

50
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.159
I say this, if you're going
to if you're going to be in

51
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.240
a group that touts that you're going
to be willing to take difficult votes and

52
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.240
expend political capital in pursuit of good
government, i e. The Problem Solvers

53
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.439
Caucus, Greg Lansman, then you
should be one of the members of this

54
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.720
caucus that actually does that right,
because you're putting the good of government and

55
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:30.800
good governance over personal or political gain. And so if there's one group that

56
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.879
squarely should have taken this difficult vote, it was Greg Landsman at all that

57
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.199
should have done it. And the
other issue, I'm sure that Lansman went

58
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.240
to Nancy Pelosia, Keem Jefferies and
all the other leaders of the Democrats and

59
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.240
said, look, I'm part of
the problem solving caucus. I'm kind of

60
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.240
inclined to do this and throw them
a bone since obviously the Republicans at some

61
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.000
point are going to have a Republican
Speaker of the House, you would think,

62
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.079
and they probably said to him,
if you do that, we're going

63
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.319
to primary you, and you're not
going to be the nominee anymore. We're

64
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.720
going to kick you out of the
Democratic Party. Democrats play hardball, and

65
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.800
you Republicans often do not. I
could not imagine when Nancy Pelosia came,

66
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:13.600
Jefferies, etc. In charge,
that they would allow eight to ten of

67
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.399
their own members to get off the
reservation and vote with the other side.

68
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.839
The Democrats would never do what the
Republicans are allowing to be done. How

69
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:28.800
come the Democrats are more organized than
you Republicans. Well, it's interesting that

70
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:34.120
four days after that happened, right, we see a problem of epic proportions

71
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.560
unfolded the Middle East, and the
fact that we don't have a Speaker of

72
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:46.160
the House causes renders that's effectively neutral
or effectively unable to do what we need

73
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.879
to do to help our ally in
Israel. And what we're seeing unfolding this

74
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.720
just this week alone is the exact
opposite. Is now Democrats are willing to

75
00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.879
go quote unquote across the aisle in
order to in order to solve the problem

76
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.399
that guess what they created, you
know, they created along with Matt Gates.

77
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.759
So I don't I don't buy that
argument that well, we're not going

78
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.680
to fail you out. Well,
you're you're looking to do that? Why

79
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.279
because your voters are going to you
and saying that, look, you got

80
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.839
to fix this. You are equally
to blame alongside Matt Gates. And I

81
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.240
could see that Greg Lansam is most
likely having a call right now and saying

82
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.920
that, well, I need to
put up or shut up because they're calling

83
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.240
me out for for for what I
did as we should. Well, no

84
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.240
question, now, if you were
in the Congress, if you were the

85
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:39.319
first congressional office holder, how would
you how would you vote on the issue

86
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.199
of giving aid to Israel and tying
it with aid to the Ukraine? How

87
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.160
would you vote on that if you
were in office? Well, if I

88
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:53.000
was in office, number one,
Israel is our strongest Middle Eastern ally and

89
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:58.480
we must support Israel. I stand
one hundred percent behind behind Israel, and

90
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.560
the fact that you have a Hamas, a terrorist group that is now in

91
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:12.040
lockstep and has been with terrorists supporting
countries like Iran, that is a first

92
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.279
line of defense. Supporting Israel is
a first line of defense for the United

93
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.720
States and the rest of the world
in the Middle East. So we should

94
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:26.199
support Israel and the justice that must
be pursued for what Hamas has done,

95
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.079
the terrible acts of violence they did
to women and children, and the innocent

96
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.560
must be called for. Now when
it comes to Ukraine, right it's a

97
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:42.040
different scenario right now. My position
on Ukraine is this that we will not

98
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:47.920
send a single additional dollars to Ukraine
unless we've got the accountability and the path

99
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.040
to victory that we need from this
administration. And we haven't gotten that,

100
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:59.240
and we continue to not get that. We cannot perpetually send aid to Ukraine

101
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.519
with out knowing what the end goal
is and the objective is the Lensky continues

102
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.360
to come every six months asking for
more money, and what we cannot do

103
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.199
is continue to give it to him
unless we the United States say, listen

104
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.279
out, when will this war end? What is your path to victory?

105
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.199
To do it? And guess what. Every dollar that's going to go to

106
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.920
it has to be accounted for for
how it is, how it is spent,

107
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.959
two different ways of dealing with the
issues, and that's how I would

108
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.800
buy percame and Orlando. So unlike
many Republicans and many Democrats who want to

109
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.440
tie the things together. In fact, when you look at the breakdown to

110
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.279
the one hundred and ten billion dollars, that more money on a credit card

111
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.679
that we're never going to pay off
every time there's some emergency. Instead of

112
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.159
cutting spending by one hundred and ten
billion dollars and then replace it with foreign

113
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.000
aid, which many Americans oppose,
they simply take out a new credit card

114
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.960
in Washington, DC and max out
out that credit card and just pay the

115
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.440
minimum payments, never paying the principle. And at this point most Democrats and

116
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.720
most Republicans want to tied to two
together. Why is it a bad idea

117
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:07.279
to call Ukraine the same as Israel. Well, it's a bad idea,

118
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:15.000
right because we're dealing with two different
uh uh formations of threat and uh two

119
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:20.639
different distinct situations. Right. But
to your point that this this problem that

120
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.679
we have of continuing to spend and
spend and spend and raising our debt ceiling,

121
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:33.200
continuing to raise our deficit. Is
also this problem that our quote unquote

122
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.440
problem solvers are not actually to actually
seeking to to to solve, right,

123
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.039
is the one of the first primary
steps is we have to go to a

124
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.679
balanced budget. We have to go
to a balanced budget because that's what we

125
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:52.360
expect our American hard working families to
do for their for for their household finances.

126
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.879
And so when we send our representative
to Washington, guess what there do

127
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.919
we expect them to do the same
thing, you know, because it's our

128
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.360
tax dollars that we're sending to them. That's right. Pavey Ramaswami has had

129
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.200
a speech last night in New Hampshire. I don't know if you studied it,

130
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:13.279
but with Vivey Grama Swami as say
next graduate says we should re evaluate

131
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.200
US membership in the United Nations and
scale back our involvement in NATO. Is

132
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:24.679
that something Orlando Sanza believes in or
not? Well, this is my first

133
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:30.320
time hearing you know what what what
vek Ramaswami said last night, So I

134
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.080
can't comment to the specifics. I
don't know what he said, but uh,

135
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:39.639
again, my position is from from
the global perspective that we as Americans

136
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:46.799
have to stand strong and solid against
the on the international stage to show that

137
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:52.519
we our we are uh not only
the beacon of Pope, but we are

138
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.200
the strong America that they all know
is true. So when it comes to

139
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.799
supporting our allies, yes, we
support our allies, but not at the

140
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:07.080
expense of our own American people and
those that are working hard day in and

141
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.120
day out here within our own borders. Now, Orlando, lastly, tell

142
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.519
the American people I see in your
resume you spend time in the military,

143
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.879
also in the prosecutor's office. Tell
the American people give them a brief notice

144
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.000
to what you've done in the past. You're running against Greg Lansman as a

145
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.960
Republican in the first district. Tell
the American people your background. Yeah,

146
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.799
you know. I'll tell vote as
I've told voters this that you have the

147
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:41.120
ability for a stark contrast here between
our current unseerious member of the House representators

148
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.399
claiming to represent us in Greg Lansman, who has rendered a poor return on

149
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:52.480
our investment for a US congressman.
But instead what voter is going to be

150
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:58.799
able to do is vote for a
serious, qualified represented for US Congress that's

151
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.440
been not just the former military officer
in the US Army, a West Point

152
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.559
graduate, a CPA, an attorney, a former prosecutor, but one that's

153
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.720
going to be able to bring back
a positive return on investment. Well,

154
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.000
what dom I mean by that the
complex issues that we see impacting the nation

155
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.480
and especially the First District, from
the economy and how inflation is wreaking havoc

156
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.080
on our wallets, to the fentanyl
crisis that we see here in the First

157
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.200
District, to how parents' rights are
under attack, our education is poor.

158
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:35.639
Those are complex issues that require someone
that's got a qualified, very background of

159
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.559
a problem solver. And that's been
my life story from all of these issues

160
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.080
that I just seek to go into
an issue, identify the problem, and

161
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.960
help solve it. And that's what
I'm aiming to do, going to Washington,

162
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.000
fighting for the American family and solving
these problems. Sounds good to May

163
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.559
Orlando Sanzo. What is your website
if any of people want to get involved

164
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:03.480
in your efforts, Yes, Orlando
Sabz Orlando your favorite place in Florida Sonza

165
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:09.240
dot com. This train is just
starting to move please jump on board.

166
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.519
We need all the support we can
get to take down Greg Lanson and make

167
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.480
him a one term congressman. You
know, lastly i'd say this. I

168
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.720
was with you last night in Warren
County and most of Warren County is in

169
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.720
Greg Lansman district. He's a left
wing radical Democrat who says one thing here

170
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.279
than a different thing there. And
to have Warren County, the good folks

171
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.200
in Warren County, the foreign Shells
and the pat Souths and so many others

172
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:37.000
to Dave Young's represented by a liberal
Democrat as somewhat outrageous and hopefully you can

173
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.120
find some political support in Warren County
and also on the west side of Cincinnati.

174
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.120
Orlando Sonzo, once again, thanks
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

175
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.399
With your permission, we'll do it
again. Thanks so much, Bill,

176
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.200
Thanks for having me. Well,
let's continue with more if a line

177
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.759
becomes available. Five win, three
seven, four nine, seven pounds seven

178
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.240
hundred. The new AT and T
getting ready of course for the Bengals on

179
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.240
Sunday in San Francisco. They were
softened up last night and another loss.

180
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.799
They've lost two in a row since
they hammered the Dallas Cowboys. So I

181
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.519
think the Bengals. Bengals are picking
up on the forty nine ers at the

182
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.799
right time. They've had the week
off and forty nine ers last night had

183
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.879
a terrible, terrible effort and they
lost another game. Bill Cunningham, the

184
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.600
Great American with you every day.
You're home of the Bengals News Radio seven

185
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:28.240
hundred WULW. And it's time for
an afternoon sandwich. It's time for Chester

186
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.879
shead cheese. Chester's head cheese is
packed with choice chunks of brain, eye,

187
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.279
ear, and flesh. Chester s
heead cheese the perfect choice for listening

188
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.879
to Eddie and Rocky. Head cheese
is an excellent source of antioxidents. Eddie

189
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.360
and Rocky are an excellent source for
local issues. One of the kind of

190
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.879
interviews had fun times Eddie and Rockey
this afternoon at three on seven hundred WLW.
