1
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.800
Bill Cunningham, the great American.
Of course, Shady Vance is the junior

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:12.880
Senator from a great state of Ohio, and he's out in front. Last

3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:17.199
week he had a proposal of the
US Senate to ban mask mandates and maybe

4
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:21.960
the vaccine I'm not sure. Plus, the President is making his way away

5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.719
from Hanoi with the disastrous visit,
promised to go to East Palestine. That's

6
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.920
not looking good. The Ukrainian mess
continues to be that and more. But

7
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.799
Senator JD. Vance, welcome again
to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Senator

8
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.960
can you tell the American people what
your proposal is in the Senate to bar

9
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:44.439
masking and maybe mandatory vaccines as well. Get ready for another another season coming

10
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:49.000
ahead in the election. Yeah.
So, I'm very supportive Willie of banning

11
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.600
mandatory vaccine. That this legislation was
focused purely on the mask mandates, and

12
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.679
here's the basic idea in the background. So I've noticed over the past couple

13
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.560
of weeks, I'm sure you and
your listeners have done the same. There's

14
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:07.480
been this uptick of the conversation and
discussion about remasking children at schools, remasking

15
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.719
airplane passengers, and not just allowing
them to do of course you want to

16
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.680
wear a mask, you're allowed to, but forcing them to do it and

17
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.959
using federal power to do it.
So we actually, you know, we

18
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:23.480
thought about, what if we just
proposed legislation tried to sort of rapid fire

19
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.920
this thing through the Senate process to
ban federal mask mandates. Would any Democrat

20
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.120
actually stand up and try to stop
us? Because the other thing that we

21
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.879
hear, Willie, is that the
Democrats don't want to reimpose mask mandates.

22
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.599
They don't. They're running from the
politics of this and from the public health

23
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:44.879
bureaucracy like their hair is on fire. And yet when we propose this legislation

24
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.920
on Thursday, Senator Jeff Markey from
Massachusetts stood up and tried to block it.

25
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.599
So when the people tell you the
Democrats aren't trying to bring back mask

26
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.719
mandates, yes they are. In
fact, there are Democrats at the US

27
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.280
Senate trying to do exactly that,
and so Mark he is among the worst.

28
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.400
But nonetheless, I'm holding in my
hand, and I'm sure you've seen

29
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.759
many things that no mask. Please, we're trying to be rational. Every

30
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.439
study indicates unless you're in an operating
room, unless you're with other doctors who

31
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.439
scrub up and then put the mask
on correctly, take the mask off correctly,

32
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.439
which doesn't happen in the real world. The mask mandates imposed harms in

33
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.120
the public that were well known before
COVID, and dozens of studies have demonstrated

34
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.360
mask induced exhaustion syndrome, and that
every study from Lancet et Center indicates that

35
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:38.759
mask actually cause more harm than good. They don't permit prohibit the transmission,

36
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.400
and in fact, what they do
do is cause more difficulties. You have

37
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.759
small children, and if you weren't, Senator JD. Vance, and your

38
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:51.240
kids are in some public school in
Cincinnati, I have every indication from CPS

39
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.159
they're going to impose a mask mandate
as many schools have already on five and

40
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:59.080
six year olds. How asinine is
that? And would you protest as a

41
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.159
parent, What would you do,
Senator, if that was your kid who's

42
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:06.479
six years old, forced to put
some silly mask on that hurts some psychologically

43
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.479
and physically. Yeah. The other
thing, Willie, and we learned this

44
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.879
during the pandemic, is that the
children who were masked at school had much

45
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.719
worse developmental delays. Right, They
couldn't see their colleagues, their friends,

46
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:22.719
the teacher's mouth move, and that
turns out is a very important part of

47
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.759
speech development for children. So we
actually harmed the development of our children doing

48
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.800
this, in addition to all of
the other problems you identified. Look,

49
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.080
if this happened in Cincinnati, I
would absolutely protest as a parent. My

50
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.120
problem here, Willie, is that
federal dollars. I don't just have to

51
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.319
protest. Federal dollars are being used
to reimpose some of these mandates. And

52
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.800
if we're doing that, why what
is the justification for it. I haven't

53
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.719
heard a single good answer. Now, you saw Anthony Fauci on TV over

54
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.159
the weekend. Of course, he's
on TV every weekend because the guy's addicted

55
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.680
to the spotlight. Anthony Fauci says, there are some studies support the scientific

56
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.879
advisability of masks. Well, first
of all, there aren't. If you

57
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:11.879
look at the difference between the gold
standard randomized studies and the observational studies.

58
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.680
The randomized studies, the good ones
always show that masking does not prevent the

59
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:20.240
transmission of a respiratory virus. The
counter argument you hear from these crazy people,

60
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.319
Willie as well, then why do
surgeons wear operating masks. Wear masks

61
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.600
in an operating room? Well,
because of I mean, it's disgusting,

62
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.800
but blood and other things that you
can prevent wearing a surgical mask. I'm

63
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:36.079
not saying there's no purpose to it, but it does not stop a small

64
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:42.079
respiratory virus. It's like putting up
a chain link fince to prevent mosquitoes from

65
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.240
entering your yard. It just doesn't
work. The particles are too small.

66
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.920
We've got to follow the science here
and not the crazy people who are obsessed

67
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.319
with masking four year olds before we
talk about East Palestine and also the Ukraine.

68
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.560
This is from the Bell and Melenda
Gates Foundation, not exactly a conservative

69
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:02.680
think tank. The Gates Foundation says
unmasked Swedes fared much better than other Europeans

70
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:09.000
forced to wear masks. A twenty
twenty two study comparing states in America found

71
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.639
no association between mask mandates and the
spread of COVID and the mandates who are

72
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.319
irrelevant when it came to the transmission
of the COVID virus to others. It

73
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.439
was complete lie. So can you. I've made the comment this is virtue

74
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.800
signaling. It's also the idea that
we're in charge and you're not. It's

75
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.480
got nothing to do with medicine or
disease. Do you think do you think

76
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:36.519
there's more of psychological impact on individual
Americans when the government says we're in charge

77
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.000
and you're not, and you can't
work unless you wear a mask or go

78
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.839
to school. That it's about a
lot more than simply science, about a

79
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.240
lot more than the transmission of a
virus. You're exactly right about that,

80
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.480
Willie. I think it's about a
power trip for the public health herecrafts.

81
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.879
If you look over the past hundred
years of American history, you often have

82
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.759
burecrafts in charge of public health who
get way out ahead of the science in

83
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.360
a way that infringes upon the liberty
of their own citizens. But I also

84
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.120
think it's about sort of enforcing compliance
among the citizenry. You know, the

85
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.240
thing that really bothers me about the
mask mandates, other than what you said

86
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:17.120
earlier about the effect on small children, is that created these separate class of

87
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.720
citizens. There were those who were
compliant, there were those who refused to

88
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:26.120
comply, And it felt sometimes like
our leaders who were turning these two groups

89
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.120
of citizens against one another. We
can't go back to that. We cannot

90
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.519
go back to our children seeing us
get super anxious and stressed out about a

91
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.040
respiratory virus. We can't go back
to turning our fellow citizens against each other

92
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.759
because they make different health decisions about
their own bodies. We cannot repeat the

93
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.519
mistakes for the last two years.
Willie, I don't know about you,

94
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.600
but I made mistakes during COVID.
I you know, I was not anti

95
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.879
mask two years ago. I thought, why hell not. This is what

96
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.959
they're saying we should do, so
why might as well do it? And

97
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.399
then you learn, and you get
smart, and you realize you made some

98
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.839
mistakes, and then you incorporate those
mistakes into what you do in the future.

99
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:10.680
And that's what I'm angry about.
These public health bureaucrafts have not incorporated

100
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.000
the last two years of learning into
their recommendation. It's like groundhog Day,

101
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.759
only it's with the stupidest advice from
two and a half years ago. We

102
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.000
haven't learned anything new, and that's
the problem. Well, government needs a

103
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:27.439
crisis that sees more power. A
possibly toxic effect of prolonged mask wearing,

104
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.439
especially for pregnant women and children,
was identified in the Review of Scientific Literature

105
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:38.160
published by the Gates Foundation. They
warned that mask wearers are rebreathing carbon dioxide

106
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:43.439
at levels linked with adverse effects on
the heart, the cardiovascular system, respiratory,

107
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:47.399
cognitive, and reproductive systems. Eight
times the normal level of carbon dioxide

108
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:53.399
is ingested. It's toxic. Research
suggestive mask wearers, specifically those who wear

109
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:58.160
a mask for more than five minutes, are breathing eighty times the normal level

110
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:03.519
of CO twos into the lungs,
causing a multitude of health difficulties. To

111
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.759
me, this is beyond debate.
But you're telling me, Senator that the

112
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.680
Democrats, especially liberal Democrats from Oregon
and from Massachusetts, want to keep it

113
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.480
going, and they will not.
They won't sign onto your legislation. They

114
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.319
use their Senate power to stop the
legislation from passing. Willie, it gets

115
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.319
into the process of the Senate.
But if you advance a piece of legislation

116
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.439
and nobody is opposed to it,
I mean common sense things like let's say

117
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.240
you know today's nine to eleven honoring
a hero on nine to eleven, you

118
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.000
can pass it instantly as long as
nobody objects to it. We try to

119
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.600
use that process to get this mask
mandate ban passed on Thursday, and there

120
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.120
were Democrats who stood up and stopped
it. So when people say COVID is

121
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.039
over, when people say that Democrats
aren't trying to bring back mask mandates,

122
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.360
that is a lie. They use
their power in the US Senate to prevent

123
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.159
us from banning these mandates. They
should be held to account for it.

124
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.600
And look, we're gonna keep on
working on this legislation. But it's important

125
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.080
for people to know in the Intern, Democrats have an opportunity to go along

126
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.600
with us, and they refuse to
do. Secondly, East Palestine is out

127
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:13.399
of the news. I can recall
you and a small creek dropping rocks into

128
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.799
this little stream and all of a
sudden oil type products came flowing into the

129
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.320
top. And the President has promised
to make visits and make it a priority

130
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.559
East Palestine. I know he can
find his way to Hanoi, he can't

131
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.000
find his way to East Palestine.
As we sit here on nine to eleven,

132
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.120
what's the latest on East Palestine and
the President's involvement to keep his promise

133
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.960
if he can remember it, well, Look, it's failed to keep his

134
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.440
promise. It's shameful when a president
makes a promise to visit a place,

135
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.519
he ought to actually do it because
it shows the people on the ground that

136
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.080
he actually cares, that he listens
to him, that he's actually trying to

137
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.399
understand what they're dealing with. You
know, things that East Palestine. I

138
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.159
mean, they're making progress in the
cleanup. It's going much much more slowly

139
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.879
than it should. You still have
some residents who have some health problems.

140
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.480
You still have an open question of
what does the long term exposure to these

141
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.919
toxic chemicals do. We're working hard
to sort of find answers to these questions.

142
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.240
The other thing, Willie, is
Governor DeWine, our governor Ohio,

143
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:15.360
proposed that Biden declare the area a
natural disaster. Now why is that important?

144
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.759
Because it opens up some healthcare resources
and some other money that the federal

145
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.519
government for areas that have suffered these
terrible disasters. And of course he's Palestine.

146
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.600
They didn't invite this on themselves.
This isn't a handout. This is

147
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.799
helping a community that deserves the help. Biden has completely refused. So I

148
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.559
don't even care that much about him
visiting. The symbolism is important, of

149
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.799
course, what I do care about
is why hasn't he actually acted on government

150
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.120
de Wine's request. That suggests he
really doesn't care and importantly, his own

151
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:50.240
government isn't paying attention to people on
the ground. Who's the president? Who's

152
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.159
in charge of the executive branch?
Obviously it's not Biden because he's going to

153
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.519
bed, he's sleeping. Who's in
charge? Forty percent? By the way,

154
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.120
Willie, forty percent of the days
he's been in the oble office,

155
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.240
he's been on vacation. That is
a record for any president of the last

156
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.600
I mean, I think the entire
history of the oval office. But who

157
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.639
is in charge? That's a good
question. I don't think it's Biden either.

158
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:16.519
I don't know if it's the chief
of staff. I don't know if

159
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.919
it's Vice President Harris. But we
have a motley crew of people running the

160
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.639
executive branch of the US government right
now, and what's scary is we actually

161
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.000
don't know who who really is behind
it. So you will, yo,

162
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.519
I will make the pitch here.
I know it's early and people are sick

163
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.720
of elections, but we have two
really important elections coming up in the state

164
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.720
of Ohio. One of course,
is this abortion ballot where I think they're

165
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.440
trying to impose really radical abortion policy
on the state of Ohio. That's issue

166
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.919
one. We got to vote that
down to vote No. One. Issue

167
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.519
one of a Number two is actually
we've got a really important sin election coming

168
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.200
up in the state of Ohio.
If we don't get better people in the

169
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.840
United States Senate to push back against
the Biden administration, we're going to be

170
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.399
in a warlor hurt because, let
me tell you, Joe bad Joe Biden

171
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.480
with Senate Democrats in the majority is
much much worse. I know, we

172
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:11.600
got to run. But Ukraine,
we have a president sending depleted uranium shells

173
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.799
to kill more Russian soldiers. We
have cluster bombs all over the place.

174
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.039
There was a UN report about a
week ago that a half a million have

175
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:26.600
been killed Ukrainian soldiers and Russian soldiers. No end is in sight. We're

176
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.399
spending well north of one hundred billion
dollars without a defined purpose. Can you

177
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:39.000
give me your synopsis on Ukraine and
what jd. Vance believes is the way

178
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.799
out of this morass in which we
find ourselves using depleted uranium shells and cluster

179
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:50.320
bombs, which is against UN mandates
relative to how to fairly kill somebody,

180
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.559
which is again a different discussion.
How do we get out of Ukraine?

181
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.799
Let me offer this observation first,
Willie. Everything that we're told about the

182
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.799
Ukraine War, think about it turns
out not to be true. We're told

183
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.519
that it's a war for democracy,
and yet President Zolenski, the President of

184
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.440
Ukraine, has suspended elections until the
crisis is over. Who knows when that

185
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.279
crisis will actually be over. We
say that it's a war for freedom,

186
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.799
and yet Lynsky is arresting clerics within
the State of Ukraine, priests and other

187
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.720
officials who don't agree with his government's
policy. We're told that it's about America's

188
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:30.960
moral leadership, and yet we're sending
them weapons that are so dangerous and frankly,

189
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.840
so dangerous to civilians that they're banned
in most of the civilized world.

190
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.080
We certainly don't use them ourselves.
So we are actually squandering our moral leadership

191
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.919
by continuing to push the never ending
war. My view, Willie is we

192
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.600
haven't accomplished anything. It's a quagmire. A lot of people are getting killed.

193
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.679
Ukraine is devastated. The country before
the war started had forty million people.

194
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.399
It now probably has about twenty five
million people, and the infrastructure is

195
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.039
completely destroyed in the entire eastern half
of the country. The Russians, of

196
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.399
course, have suffered a lot of
losses. I just want the killing to

197
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.440
stop. And my view from the
very beginning is that if we're going to

198
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.000
fund them, we have to have
a strategic goal in mind. What are

199
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:18.200
we trying to accomplish, what is
the endpoint? How does it serve America's

200
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.360
interest. The fact that no leader
Democratic Republican can answer those questions suggest we

201
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.759
need to get out of that war
and really try to bring it to a

202
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.840
piece of resolution. That's been my
view from the beginning. That was an

203
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.919
unpopular view a year and a half
ago. It's now a more popular view.

204
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.320
But this has to stop. The
killing has got to stop. Willie.

205
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.399
What it happens when we have an
energy crisis in Eastern Europe, a

206
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.480
food crisis, a refugee crisis.
What happens when tens of millions of Europeans

207
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.639
and Africans are starving to death because
we've allowed the bread basket of Europe to

208
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.919
be decimated. The unintended consequences of
this thing. The further it goes on

209
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.639
are going to devastate the entire planet. We've got to be more careful.

210
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.720
We need real statesmen, people who
are actually pushing form, cooler heads and

211
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.840
wisdom to prevail. Joe Biden's going
to bed, So we're in trouble.
