Portions of The Bill Cunningham Show may be pre recorded Willie Brock. You by
Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and 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 his broadcast episodes, the one and only Bill Cunningham. All
right, Billy Cunningham, the Great American with you. This Sunday Night Big
Show is planned. The last two or three Sundays. I've not taken enough
telephone calls, according to Danny Gleeson, my producer, So I'm going to
get more calls on tonight at eight six six six four seven seven three three
seven eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven. Of course,
we have to pick up the pieces of what happened yesterday and the faces on
Anderson, Cooper and others at CNN that Trump would won by more than twenty
percentage points. Looked like he was sucking on a grapefruit all night. Uh,
it was a visceral. Then I had to put up with Bob Costas,
who, by the way, I thought was a pretty good baseball announcer
and commentator. Call President Donald Trump a monster and a dragon. He's a
monster. The dragon must be slay. All I can say is, I
don't know what to say other than it's going to take a monumental effort for
you and I to pull Donald Trump over the finish line, because despite all
the indictments and all the lawsuits, the worst part for Donald Trump is coming
between now and November the fifth. He obviously is the nominee of the Republican
Party because he was so successful, and when the Trumpster walks into a room,
it lights it up. Do I wish he had the personality of Ronald
Reagan. Absolutely? His policies have been better than Ronald Reagan's. His traditional
appointments have been better than Ronald Reagan's. I wish he had the personality of
Ronald Reagan. If he had that, he would have, of course sailed
away. In twenty twenty, even though the Democrats did everything and they're part
to defeed him, He's still got something to range in seventy five million votes
and allegedly Joe Biden got eighty one million votes. But whatever, it's obvious
now that he's the nominee of the Republican Party, and that Nikki Haley can
go to Michigan in about a week eight days for their primary. But the
Donald's going to beat her in Michigan, and he beat her in her home
state of South Carolina. And the spending so far, and this is not
really important because if you don't know the candidates by this point, you're probably
a dumb, blind, dumby, foted fool. But the Trumpster spent in
play ads one point three million in South Carolina, and Nicki Haley, because
of the Kochs, Koch Brothers, et cetera, spend sixteen and a half
million. I don't know what the number is about twelve times. I can't
conceive of any of us being persuaded by a thirty second attack ad that suddenly
Nicki Haley is going to tell me something different about Donald Trump. I didn't
know before. That's impossible. I think it's locked in. The support for
Donald Trump among Republicans is wide and very very deep, and it's not going
to change anytime soon. The sadness for the Donald is that he's paying at
least one hundred thousand dollars per day in interest, and he's got to post
a four hundred and fifty million dollar bond out of cost to him of about
fifty million dollars in premiums in order to even to appeal the ridiculous ruling by
Judge edgar On, who's a clown. So they threw everything in the kitchen
sink at him. And he's the only out of office Republican or Democrat to
win Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina. I might add
by wide margins. And at no point was it even close that we Conservatives
want Donald John Trump to be the nominee, and the media will not give
up, not even not even Costas, who is smearing him with the worst
kinds of tropes. But we're used to that. Respect for him has gone
past the toilet. So all I can say is get ready for the roughest
ride we've had in politics since nineteen sixty eight. At some point, write
this down here it is ten to ten Eastern time. Write it down that
at some point, Joe Biden, it might be the State of the Union
address, it might be tumbling down steps, might be saying something real stupid,
I mean real stupid, which he's saying stupid stuff. Right now he
thinks that he for a president A g is the leader of Russia. That's
a different story. Hell, he thought they thought the leader of Egypt was
in Mexico. So I have no idea except for covering for him. Biden
would not have been elected in twenty twenty. He had no chance of being
elected but the media support. But the next seven eight months, it's going
to be unbelievable because allegedly the Donald's going to go to trial March to twenty
fifth in front of a New York City jury on these ridiculous charges of paying
off a porn star, which the prosecutor in New York claims that's a federal
campaign violation. He's got no jurisdiction, even a prosecutor. Someone needs to
tell Alvin Bragg that to make it a felony, he's going to have to
show that he paid off the money to the porn star as a federal campaign
violation, that he didn't put on the forms. Are you kidding me?
That carries one hundred and eight years in jail. He got thirty six counts,
Are you kidding me? And is he going to be convicted by New
York. Jerry, I think very likely the answer is yes. When he
went on appeal in front of New York judges, I don't know. It's
going to be wild. And the stuff coming out of Atlanta and Fulton County
now is utterly ridiculous. Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade both lied under oath.
If these were normal cases, they both would be indicted by this point for
perjury because they had twelve thousand text messages and one hundreds of telephone calls.
Cell phone calls when supposedly they barely knew each other, testified under oath there
were booty calls like at ten o'clock at night, and Nathan Wade went to
her place for four or five hours and then texted her back at four thirty
am, thanking her. I suppose all the time both of them said they
had no relations at all. To me, it's ridiculous. The media won't
cover it, though, because it is so bad for Joe Biden, so
bad for the Democrats, and is so good for Donald Trump, much like
it came out an hour or two ago that it appears that the nursing George's
student til Lake and Riley was strangled to death, and there's more tests to
do. But we know theon who performed that act upon her was a illegal
alien who should not have been in the country at all, from Venezuela,
and he got into this country, made his way somehow, he was admitted
into this country by Joe Biden's policies, ends up in New York City,
and in New York City one might say, had great difficulties there also because
he was arrested for endangering children and other minor assaults in New York City.
But of course he was released on bond. Of course, from Venezuela,
that's not much of a flight risk, right And so what happened is that
allegedly, allegedly the massive assaults happening on times squy illegal aliens right now being
conducted by those who were allowed to come across the southern border by the policies
of Joe Biden, Jose Albira was arrested in New York City in September twenty
three. Came here illegally. How much more coverage have you heard about that?
The answer is little or no. If the murder of a Georgia nursing
student could be used by the Democratic Party slash mainstream media to advance the causes
of Joe Biden. They would do that in a heartbeat. They keep the
media looks for a murder they can exploit for political purposes, and obviously the
Georgia student murder suspect cannot be exploited for political purposes by the mainstream media.
So this is going to die a thousand deaths. Won't know much about it
at all. Much like the Lakewood Joel ostein the person that showed up there
I think the last name was Marino quickly fell out of favor because that was
again an illegal alien who was also shall we say, a transgender And the
worst thing happening is that this transgender person Marino took with her to the Lakewood
church outside of Houston her five year old boy, who still remains in the
hospital in critical condition. That cannot be used by the media to exploit for
political purposes. The killing of someone much like a George Floyd, of course,
was used when George Floyd did what he did, which was he was
a degenerate junkie and a criminal for years before he overdosed on fentanyl and police
custody. According to the according to the coroner that could be used for political
purposes, So George Floyd had three memorial services. Eight million dollars was paid
by the city for the killing of George Floyd, and it continues to reverberate
because the media and the Democratic Party can use the death of George Floyd to
advance their agenda, But the murder of a nursing student named Riley and Georgia
cannot be used by the mainstream media to advance any cost. Nor can the
attempt at mass shooting in the Lakewood church of Joel Ostein. That cannot be
used by the mainstream media by the Democratic Party, so that's going to quickly
die thousand deaths. Trayvon Martin was used by the Democratic Party, slash Obama,
slash the mainstream media to have answer cause. And one of the most
ridiculous things said by Obama was that if I had a son, he looked
like Trayvon. Hopefully, if he had his son, he wouldn't have an
acted like Trayvon who tried to kill George Zimmerman by bashing his head into concrete.
Unfortunately for Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman was armed and shot him. Unfortunately,
but that could be used by the mainstream media, much like the Michael
Brown situation in Missouri. That can be used by the mainstream media and by
the Democratic Party to have answer cause. But the murder, the horrible death
in Georgia of the nursing student could not be used by the mainstream media.
Therefore, guess what that's going to die quickly? Much like the assault in
Nashville on the Coventry School. What's come of that? The dossier, the
manifesto, nothing, nothing, So to my way of thinking, if the
media and the Democratic Party can use a murder to advance a political agenda,
they will do it in a heartbeat, and if they can't use it,
they drop it quickly. Lake Nilly was in nursing school out for a jog
ran into a Venezuelan murderer led in by Joe Biden and ma Yorkis who committed
crimes in New York City one on bond. Guess what ends up in Georgia
and murders this very precious life. And Jose Antonio Ibera is twenty six years
old, charged now with a whole bunch of offenses. Finally, you won't
hear much about this down the road by the way, because it can't be
used for political purposes by anyone, and so as a consequence, the media
will quickly drop the murder of this nursing student. It doesn't fit. And
also Times Square, I saw it yesterday in the news. ABC News added
on there's some wilding individuals who go around Times Square and they seven to twelve
illegal immigrants, and they steal cell phones and purses from women. They look
at the shoes someone's wearing or the high heels, and if they've got a
Louis Vton perse guess what it's gone. And even if you're picked up,
you're not going to be prosecuted. You're going to be released on bond,
and you can flee anywhere and commit more crimes like what happened in the state
of Georgia. Governor camp has sent a nasty letter to Joe Biden wondering how
this happened, and he'll get no response, and the media will not follow
it. But what they will follow is the ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court
and IVF in vitro fertilization of eggs, and they want to use that to
show that the Republican Party is out of touch with suburbanites, especially suburban females.
It wasn't reported by ABC News tonight in his commentary, but I'll report
it that Donald Trump came out in favor of IVF, as did most Republicans.
I'll give an example where the Republican Party is on this, that is
Ohio. Here in Ohio, we have a big race for the opportunity to
run against schried Brown, the liberal Democratic senator from Ohio. And all three
of the candidates Frank LeRose and also Dolan and also Marino, who are the
three Republicans running to get the nomination to run against Brown, All three came
out in favor of IVF. So if the facts don't fit, guess what,
well, we're not going to use it. But if the facts do
fit, absolutely we will use it. You can only imagine if a police
officer in Georgia had shot and killed a black man or an immigrant who was
Hispanic. It be a major story. But the media will quickly drop the
Georgia incident because it doesn't fit things that can exploit for political purposes. So
let's continue with more. And as I said, I want to take as
many telephone calls as I can tonight up in somewhat recalcitront. According to Danny
boy Gleeson, my producer, not hearing from you. We have calls from
Colorado, Idaho, and Tampa and Arizona, New York and all places in
between if a line becomes available. Eight six six six four seven, seven
three three seven. Fanny Willis and Nathan Wade committed perjury under oath in front
of Judge McAfee. And it's going to be up to a difficult call by
somebody to file criminal charges against the elected prosecutor of Fulton County. And when
it happens is going to be a racial incident. Believe me, if she
was white as chalk and said exactly the same thing, I would say exactly
the same thing. But the media looks for causes to advance a political agenda.
And George Floyd and Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, there were political agendas
that could be advanced. But when it comes to a nursing student in Georgia,
when it comes to all the murders of kids from fentanyl, when it
comes to the rapes and the human trafficking across the southern border encouraged by the
policies of of Joe Biden. Media won't cover that. You know, orange
man bad Orangeman bad, just remember Orangeman bad. And to have Bob Costas
go after Donald Trump as he did yesterday is disgusting as if he's the dragon
and he's the monster. Well, the policies of his hero, Joe Biden
has resulted in the death of thousands of innocent Americans. That to me is
monster like behavior. That is a schmuck. That's a different thing. We
got to run. Let's take short break if the line becomes available. Eight
sixty six six four seven, seven three three seven Bill cunning into Grand American,
loud, proud and sassy, filled with love for Donald Trump on news
radio. Seven hundred wlws have more than doubled since Joe Biden took office.
The media completely is silent, and that would include pro life centers and the
Family Research Council indicates that in the year twenty twenty three, the attacks against
churches have more than doubled, which included three hundred and fifteen occurrences of vandalism,
including the decapitation of the Blessed Virgin in many Catholic churches because of the
abortion decision by the US Supreme Court, seventy five arson attacks on Catholic Christian
churches, ten gun related incidents, twenty bomb threats, and thirty seven other
incidences. This is I think symptomatic of a collapse of societal reverence for those
who believe in God and Jesus Christ. But do you see any media reports
on this, not exactly. The number right now is in the range of
four hundreds per year happening against Christian and Catholic churches. It doesn't fit the
media narrative there against little or no publicity whatsoever. And we move on.
So let's set up tonight's big show, and then we'll take calls. We'll
go to Colorado first, in Idaho, Tampa, California, et cetera.
In California, I call it now Los Angeles. Los Angeles is completely lost.
And I can't imagine the mayor or the governor, Gavin Newsom getting the
nod of the Democrat Party. Joe Biden. I'll say it again, Joe
Biden will not be the nominee of the Democrat Party. He's going to tumble
down the steps. He's going to screw up so badly it's non recoverable and
might maybe the State of the Union address, something will happen that he just
you know, one of the most brilliant things ever happening in the State of
the Union address was that when Bill Clinton's teleprompter went down in nineteen ninety four,
the teleprompter went down, He'd read this speech several times and gave it
without missing a beat without a teleprompter. Do you think Joe Biden could do
that with a teleprompter? He can't read it. But after eleven o'clock will
be Steve Gorm. Steve Gorm about the environment, the evs. It appears
Mercedes Benz now is cutting back on EV production. Also, later on as
Jeff crewe Air, headquartered in New Orleans, written a book, America's Last
Chance. Jeff crue Air is a great American. And also Leland Vidditt will
be with us tonight from News Nation. Leland Viddert was of course covering this
in South Carolina and he's going to make his way up to Michigan at some
point for the primary there. But someone asked me, could Nicky Hayley somehow
jump out and run as an independent? The answer is no. Once a
candidate has filed in a Democrat or Republican primary, you cannot get on some
independent ticket. The nightmare scenario for the Democrats is Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
who and I might add as a frequent guest of Sean Compton a News
nation. And if he gets on the ballot and takes the libertarian slot on
the ballot, it's going to mean that the Donald can get is forty three,
forty four percent of the vote and probably easily win the presidency. How
about that R fk Junior coming back to haunt the Democrat Party. Let's continue
your calls the next I promise, got full lines. Got to get to
the American people I've loved so well and served so long. Bill cunning Into
Grant American Live with you every Sunday. Now, as I promise, let's
go right to the telephone calls, and we'll see what the American people had
to say all over the country, beginning with Bubba in Colorado. Bubba in
Colorado, Bubba, give me a full report. What is your comments about
politics? And more? Oh, this is a national emergency, and we've
been hearing from General Valley, General MCNERNY local rail and how Denver's being overrun.
Yeah, and they're gonna have to use the schools. They're gonna have
to use public buildings, Yeah, and art midnights though they've covered it from
the Darien Gap all the way to McCallen, Texas. Buffaloads coming up,
and they're overrunning the city of Denver, and General McNerney, General Valley and
a team in the Pentagon buzz the scout reb that you're going to replace that,
Qanne. Somebody's got to bring in military force because this isn't going to
stabilize without it. We have the General saying, how the hell are we
going to win this next election when they still have that hammer score. It's
going to rival what happened in Chicago in nineteen sixty eight. That was a
disaster for Yearbert H. Humphrey because it demonstrated the Democratic Party was not a
serious institution when it comes to civil protections of basic American freedoms on the streets
of Chicago and what's happening you bring up Denver. The mayor of Denver has
said they can't take it anymore. The public hospitals were closed because being overrun
by the medical needs of thousands of lego aliens who've paid zero into the system.
And I'll say this to you before we go to Paul and Idaho,
that we're at the beginning of this wave of illegal migration, not at the
end. We've had in the country illegally about eight million during the three years
of Joe Biden. That could be eighty million within the next five or six
years. This election isn't about Orange Man good or bad. It's about the
policies of Donald Trump that worked and the policies of Joe Biden that do not
work. That's the difference. Thank you for your call, Paul and Idaho,
and then James in Louisiana. Paul, go ahead, you're on the
Bill Cunningham Show. Paul, what do you got? Thanks for taking my
call. Bill. Yes, I talked to the last time I talked to
you. We've talked about the Kennedy's assination sixty you Sailor verse three, and
you were very informative. I learned quite a bit listening to you that night.
Thank you. The one thing I did want to talk about was Ukraine,
Yes, sir, but there was something helps that I wanted to talk
about before that came up, and that was why don't we pull together the
people that are listening on these radio stations that are red radio stations basically and
started go fundy page or whatever it takes, like an organization that would get
together and and pull money together for Trump. Well, let me ask you.
Let me ask you this, Paul. According to his balance sheets,
that Donald has about four hundred and fifty million dollars in available cash, which
to me is I don't have one thousands of that, but he's got four
hundred and fifty million. Do you find it somewhat strange that the fine given
to him by the Democrats in New York City right now four hundred and fifty
million dollars to find they want to take away all of his available cash,
has no money to run as the presidency, the RNC financially is on its
back, then they want them locked up in jail or in trial. The
March twenty fifth trial is scheduled to take two months on these BS charges involving
a porn star. And so they won them off the campaign trail that wasn't
free of all money. And we must stand with the Donald. It is
our of need. Let's continue now with James and Louisiana and the hum of
LSU James and Louisiana and welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show and James go ahead.
Hi, mister Kunnaham, thank you for taking my call. I'm an
African American fifty one years old and I support President Trump to the fullest.
And there's one thing that I noticed when I'm talking to my friends and family
about coming to the Republican Party is on the racial issues, they seem to
always miss the mark. And a statement that you made early in the show
when you were talking about George Floyd and Treylon Martin, those type of things
were kind of missed the mark on both. The first one being George Floyd.
No matter what his lifestyle was leading up to that month, he didn't
deserve to die like that. And a lot of times people try to discredit
the person by pointing out if they had a drug problem or something like that.
We expect more from the police and then on how they handle people like
that, and we want to feel like we get justice suit And as far
as with Trevora L. Martin, he was just a kid trying to go
home. The police even told Zimmerman not to pursue him. So at the
point, this kid is scared to death, so whatever happened, in his
mind, he feels like he's being attacked, and whether he hit the man's
head on the concrete or not, he had a right to protect himself as
well. So on those racial things, it kind of got to try to
look at both sides of it. But other than that, I agree fullheartedly
with what you said, and a lot of people that I've talked to are
moving toward President Trump. That I had a privilege of being able to talk
to them while Trump was president, and now since Biden has been pressed and
when Trump was president, a lot of black states stuck on the racial stuff
and not the policies. But now that Biden has messed everything up so bad,
some of the same people that I've talked about there, like you,
right now, I see the importance of policies, James, hold on man,
James. I think what's going to happen, I hope is that African
Americans will look at the promises and conditions often imposed by policy on them,
especially in major cities, and say, what has the Democratic Party done in
Chicago, New Orleans, Austin, Texas, What have they done in Los
Angeles, The answer is nothing. Black votes have been used and abused by
the Democratic Party since the nineteen sixties for reasons unclear to me, and the
policies of Donald Trump provided much more benefits to black folks than the policies of
Joe Biden, in which he's flooded to marketplace with all kinds of illegal aliens
who tend to locate in major cities where disproportionate numbers of Black folks are in
major cities. And so when I look at a Chicago mother complaining about the
fact that she can't go to a city park because it is filled with hundreds
of needles and excrement and urine and illegal aliens, I have sympathy for folks
who find themselves lucked in to assist him, in which promises were made by
Brandon Johnson and promises were made by Lori Lightfoot also known as Beetlejuice, and
none of them are kept. So can you tell me why so many Black
folks keep voting for the Democrat Party. One is destroyed, family life,
family faith in the black community, doesn't provide a quality education, doesn't provide
jobs, terrible circumstances in every major American city. Why does so many black
men vote for Democrats when their lives have been destroyed by the policies of the
Democrat Party. Why? Oh, that that one's pretty easy. There's a
few things involved with that. One of them is a lot of these people
are on the lower education end, and even when talking to them, like
when I talk to them about Trump, it's they don't even understand or they're
hearing these policies for the first time from me. So you have a lot
of African Americans that really don't educate themselves as far as politics, and the
Democrats have found a way, so they've mastered the system in the way that
Republicans don't. And what they do is Democrats they'll go out and they know
their public. They'll go out and they'll make African Americans a whole lot of
promises, and they pull on their emotional strings of you need help, and
you need the government to help. And look at the Republicans, they hate
you and they're racists. And especially as soon as you throw the racist word
out, you have their attention. And so the cycle just repeats itself.
So they get them on the hook with that, and then during the election.
After the election is on. Black people just kind of forget about all
the promises and stuff that were made, and then they just vote for the
same thing every election. Whoever is running against a Democrat is a racist.
It works, and James, it does organize every now and then. I
talked with Eric Trump, President's second oldest son, and he says it's going
to happen. I said, if the Donald could set up go to New
Orleans, go to Chicago, go to Brooklyn, campaign in the black community
and ask black folks for their votes. And Republicans don't do that. They
don't show up there. And I'm thinking eighty percent of a job is showing
up. And the Trumpster needs to go to New Orleans, needs to go
to Atlanta, he needs to go to New York. He needs to go
to Chicago. He needs to go into the black community and talk about policies,
not personalities, not political attacks, but the policies. He would help
black folks who are shall we say, lower economic, get out of the
circumstances in which their family life has put them. Nobody can defend Chicago public
schools, Nobody can defend the crime rate in New York City, Nobody can
defend what the female mayor of New Orleans is now doing with public money.
Nobody can defend the homeless Campson and Los Angeles, nor the poop monitors in
San Francisco. Nobody can defend that. And you bring up James a great
point. Go ask for the vote and explain not personalities, not Peccadillo's,
not insults. Talk about the policies, and you can get the black vote.
Do you agree, sure, you're absolutely You're absolutely right. There's one
thing for sure and for certain that most black people that I talk to,
they don't even know what Trump did for the HBCUs. They don't know about
the opportunity zones. They don't know about even the First Step Act in the
matter. In fact, a lot of them that have heard of the First
Step Act, they try to say that Trump stole the First Step Act from
President Obama. And then I lay it out for them that he didn't steal
it, that the legislation was brought to Obama and he half did it,
and Trump did it and he made it work. And one thing for sure
and for certain, when the Obamas were in the White House, you had
all type of black people there singing and dancing and Jennifer Hudson and everybody but
Donald Trump is the only US president that black people who were not elected officials
were able to be able to sit at the table with and get policy signed.
Those black preachers, those are when Trump asked the Black Congressional Congress to
come and they refused him. Rich was their job to go? Yeah,
he went to the public and Kim Kardashian, those preachers, they all went
in there and they came out with policies that worked. Well. I'll say
this, James, this is going to be a rough ride. Louisiana.
America needs more voices like yours to get out there to say, forget about
forget about what happened in the nineteenth eighteenth, twentieth century. The Party of
slavery was a Democrat party, the Party of Jim Crow. Those are all
Democrats. The party of lynching, that was all Democrats. The party that
destroyed every magnificent American city we have today is that Democratic party destroyed public education,
did not create jobs. Have criminals running loose. Have Chicago schools in
which kids can't read, Cleveland, Cincinnati. I live in Cincinnati. Eighty
percent of the kids in Cincinnati graduate and not able to read their diploma.
And that is disgusting. And the party in charge of that has exclusively been
the Democratic Party. It's almost like the Stockholm syndrome in which so many black
folks have voted one way for so long they can't see the forest for the
trees and don't understand that Donald Trump was the greatest president for a black American
that's existed since maybe Abraham Lincoln. I agree with that, James, You're
a great American. Thank you, God bless anytime. Thank you, James.
Just one quick point. I do not justify by one millisecond the behavior
of a police officer that would stick his knee upside the head of George Floyd
and pin him down for like a minute and a half. I don't justify
that at all. The behavior of that person brought him to the attention of
the police, and the coroner said that the autopsy was consistent with a fentanyl
overdose. And having said that, George Floyd spent his life committing crimes.
But even if you're a criminal, you should not be treated by a police
officer with your head on a pavement and a knee on top of it.
No, that's wrong, and the punishment was meted out. Let's continue if
a line becomes available, which it never does. Eight sixty six six four
seven seven three three. Bill cunning and the Great American with you every Sunday
night. You know one interesting tidbit coming up in the Michigan primary, and
that is there were two hundred thousand Arab Americans in and around Dearborn and elsewhere
in Michigan. Two hundred thousand voters in the last election twenty twenty, one
hundred and sixty of two hundred thousand. My deer Park Matt tells me that's
about eighty percent voted for Joe Biden, and that number in this election will
be less than zero. Goes what's happening in the Middle East, and so
I'm going to take them out. Her up with Leland Vitter in about an
hour or so from News Nation, who was in South Carolina. Of course,
it's time for Nikki Haley to pack it in. The Koch Brothers network
of contributors pulled a million dollars in contributions to her. But I have a
text here from Sean Spicer. Spend time, of course with with President Trump
about the UH straw Pole at Sea Pack Conservative Political Action Committee in Washington.
Who do you think was number one among the attendees who wanted to be the
VP with the Trumpster number? Jim tim Scott was number one on fourth in
the list Danny boy A. Number one was favek Ramaswami, tied with Christy
Nome, the South Dakota governor. I'll take either one of them. And
third place was Tulci Gabbard, former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii. I'd take Tulsi.
And fourth place tiede was Stefani, congresswoman at least from New York and
Senator Tim Scott. I'll take either one of those two. Uh. Next
in line number six was was Donalds Byron Donalds of Southwest Florida. I have
quite a connection to the Naples area, and I'll tell you what he'd be.
He'd be great with me. Another one mentioned number seven was I Carrie
Lake. Of course he's running for the Senate. We'll see what happens there.
And then eighth place was was Carson, doctor Carson, Ben Carson.
And all those things add up one time, and that is there's not one
white male anywhere on the list, which tells me once again that we white
Christian married men had one hell of a run. But damn it, it's
over. The time of the Christian married family, white male practicing Roman Catholic
is over, Finny Dunn, and I would vote for a Clarence Thomas if
I could, or Thomas Soule if I could. I'd vote for a Byron
Donald's if I could. Skin Color and Genitelia means nothing to me. It's
the policies that are advocated. And vivek Ramaswami grew up about two miles from
where I broadcast from in Cincinnati, Ohio. In Springfield Township or Christy,
Nome. Both would be excellent. Tulca Gabbert, I think would be fine.
I guess you have become a Republican at least Stephanic of New Yorker Senator
Tim Scott no problem. Byron Donalds of Southwest Florida, no problem at all.
In fact, i'd pick him. I'd put Byron Donalds at the top
of the list and carry Lake. I don't know, but she's gonna win
or lose her senatorial thing. But right now, right now, I think
Byron Donalds would be the guy that I would pick because he's a true conservative,
he understands, he speaks the language of African American males. I'm gonna
remember for a long time the last call I had from Louisiana, from that
African American guy who said John with his name. Enough's enough that you know
we voted Democratic now for the last eighty years. And what has he gotten?
This not a damn thing I can't conceive are magnificent, wonderful American city
is destroyed by political philosophy to board. It can be Austin, Texas,
which has a terrible problem retaining police officers because in Austin, the capital of
Texas has such little respect for him. Or in Los Angeles, or Portland
and Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, New York, Atlanta. Just
pick the city. The Democratic Party has been involved in running those cities now
for half a century or longer. What terrible, horrible results. When will
they be held accountable? Trump will hold their treat feet to the fire and
hold rallies in the black communities in those areas and say, how my policies
are better, Let's continue with more And coming up next to Steve gorm He's
an expert on the environment and energy and more. Plus later on as Leland
Vittert and Jeff crue Heir from New Orleans. Bill Cunningham, the Great American
with you and other great Americans every Sunday Night, Willie Brook. You by
Choice Hotels, Acono Lodge and 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 his is broadcast Exodence, the one and only Bill Cunningham,
Billy Cunningham, the Great American many times, having done this for not just
years, but decades. I like to think all I do is pound on
the door, and no one ever answers. I have a sense when it
comes to climate scientists anymore, there may be a slight change in direction of
sanity, and no one is more not eligible about the green energy collapse about
to occur, the breakdown and the great Steve gorm He's executive director of the
Climate Science Coalition of America, author of four books on energy, climate change,
and the sustainable development with over one hundred thousand copies in print. And
Steve's new book is the Green Breakdown, which is happening almost as I speak,
the coming renewable energy failure. And Steve Gorm once again, welcome to
the Bill Cunningham Show. And I see a column in the New York Times
which has got to be accurate that talks about large American firms are backing off
some of the ridiculous climate change models that they're build into their systems, analytics
at Black Rock, etc. So can you inform the American people? Maybe
you and I and we're a small part of the whole deal, but our
corporate executives now learning that maybe the green energy breakdown is about to occur and
that things aren't as good as we think they are. Give us a report
to the American people. Steve Gorm, Willy, thanks for your kind words.
Great to join you again. Yeah, just this last week we had
a bunch of the Wall Street firms that have decided to pull back from their
commitments. They were part of a group called Climate Action one hundred that has
been urging financial organizations to adopt environmental governmental and ESG what my environmental, social
and governmental standards and also go after companies to try and get them to stop
with coal, oil and matro gas. That's really been the big push for
ESG. But they just announced this week. This was black Rock, JP
Morgan, Pimco, and some other Wall Street firms said they're going to pull
out of Climate Action one hundred and about fourteen trillion dollars in total assets have
disappeared from that effort, and maybe this is one of those first signs of
a green breakdown. They mentioned a couple things. First, they been getting
pressure from states West Virginia, Texas, and I think Florida have said to
them basically, you know, if you keep pushing this ESG stuff, we
are going to not let our pension funds invest in any of your funds.
So that was a concern to them. But the second factor is that their
renewable energy companies are doing terrible in the markets. There's an index called the
Rennix Index ri n i xx that's been in place for about twenty five years.
Attracts the top thirty renewable companies in the world. That's down about fifty
percent in the last four years. It's been dropping three four years in a
row, and so you know they're finding that if they promote these green companies,
their investors don't do as well as if they promote other companies. So
maybe one of the first signs of the green breakdown. You know, Steve
Gorham, all of us are in favor of clan air and clean water.
The smog and the pollution is one thing, but ESG DEI and these other
things. The technology. You know more about this than about anyone, But
we don't have the technology presently. Maybe in ten or twenty or thirty years,
when we have the technology, when di lithium crystals are discovered, we
might be able to get to that point. But you and I everyone's against
pollution. I don't want to walk across the Ohio River. I don't want
to breathe terrible air. And I said years ago that when it comes to
the EPA, the out of disband because they've been successful. Cincinnati used to
have smog all over the place. We have none. La used to be
encapsulated and smog largely non existent. We have right now because of all the
epas and all the lawsuits being filed. Every American wants to breathe clean air
and drink clean water. So this is not about more pollution. Explain why
the differential between pollution on one hand and the climate change models on the other,
and that most reasonable Americans are in the middle. Because I love to
live a twenty first century lifestyle with lights that turn on, the cell phones
that work, with low electricity bills, my twoke energy bills through the roof,
and I love the li in a society with clean air and clean water
to pass on to the next generation a better environment than we have than it
was given to me. And we've done that. But why can't they accept
the idea Steve Gorm that we're successful, We've won the air is clean.
Coal burning utilities are almost going out of business. They're getting cleaner every day.
Nuclear power is waiting to be energized. Bill Gates and others want to
use these small nuclear power generation units for electro electrical purposes. Explain why we're
not saying we need more pollution. Well, you're right. One of the
great untold stories of our age that you don't hear in the press is how
clean our air is now. The six major EPA pollutants carbon monoxide, sulfur
dioxide, nitrous oxides, ozone, particulates, lead. Those are all down
more than eighty percent since nineteen eighty and probably about ninety five percent since the
nineteen fifties. But what the p and others have done is conflated carbon dioxide,
which is an odorless, harmless and visible gas that is plant food with
pollution, and they're mixing it in with all the other ones, and they're
calling it dirty and saying we have to eliminate it. That's where we've really
gone off the rails, and we need to stop messing with that. We
need to continue to reduce pollution as we have been, real pollutants, not
carbon dioxide. We need to stop putting so much plastic in the oceans,
although that's usual a little bit overstated around the world, not in the US
or Europe. They have a big problem with discharge of untreated wastewater into rivers,
oceans, and streams that needs to be cleaned up. Let's work on
those real problems and not carbon dioxide. But unfortunately the world is spending at
trillion dollars a year un renewables trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which which
isn't changing pollution levels at all. In fact, CO two is not pollution.
Can we say a thousand times that the comp possession of the Earth's atmosphere
is about zero point zero four percent CO two. Zero point zero four is
CO two, and so what's behind is really is socialism controlling the American economy
giving billions of dollars to your friends and family who contribute to a campaign.
Am I on the right track there? Yeah? CO two is plant food.
Hundreds of pure viewed studies show that plants grow bigger and faster at higher
levels of atmospheric CO two. They get thicker tree trunks, they get bigger
root systems, they're more resistant to drought. But you're right. The theory
of man made warming, the ideology which I call climatism, is being used
by many, many groups for many objectives. Of the United Nations is one
example. They've had two long running objectives. One is to have create a
world government. Jack Sharrock, president of France, a number of years ago,
said the first Climate Conferences were an example of world government. They also
want to redistribute wealth from the United States and Europe into the developing nations,
and climate change is a tremendous way to do that. Today, twenty five
percent of all four and eight is tied to a climate objective. It used
to be a about four percent, and we have people like India two years
ago asked for a trillion dollars a year to become that zero by twenty sixty,
a small sum, so that has become a big, big issue.
And also get rid of the goal and gas companies. A lot of people
don't like them when they get rid of them, despite the fact they drive
the modern society. So you know it is a massive, massive mistake in
many, many ways. Well, let's get some headlines, follow the money.
Secondly, CO two is plant food and part of God's great design that
the atmosphere is zero point zero four percent is CO two. We're trying to
stop it going to zero point zero five or six. And that CO two
is not pollution. A little more CO two is good for the growing of
plants and vested No. Secondly, I saw a report from Hillary Clinton and
she's called out the beginning of climate related deaths. We have to keep the
game alive, got to keep the money flowing. Explained what Hillary Clinton,
who may be the Democratic nominee in November, who knows about Joe Biden's tripping
up steps constantly? What's going to occur, they may turn to her or
Gavin Newsom. What is she saying about beginning to count climate related deaths and
keep the scare tactics. Yeah, yeah, she wants to climate deaths.
And I've called this. I wrote an article and published in the Washington Examiners
saying that this is the next big climate scare, the counting of climate deaths.
If you remember, during COVID nineteen, you could look every day on
line and see deaths or cases of COVID for every state, every country around
the world, and it was a great tool for driving COVID nineteen policies.
But now the climate folks want to do the same thing. So missus Clinton
wants to start counting climate deaths and claims that we have many, many deaths
from heat waves. There was an article also written in the last two weeks
that was published in Nature Medicine by a guy by the name M. Colin
Carlson, and he claimed that there were one hundred and sixty six thousand climate
deaths per year since the year two thousand, a total of about four million.
But if you look at what he's counting, though, he was counting
malarial deaths from malaria and deaths from diarheal disease in developing nations. He was
even counting deaths from cardiovascular disease. And you know, if you count a
heart attack as a climate death, you can count anything as a climate death.
So that's where we're headed. I'm afraid. But you know, if
you look at the evidence first, the number of deaths. There's an outfit
called m DEBT, the World Disaster Database that has been tracking deaths from disasters
for more than a century, and those include floods and droughts and famine and
all sorts of things, and those deaths are down ninety percent in the last
century. Famine itself deaths are down about ninety eight percent. We used to
have about ten million people a decade that would die across the world from famine
and now that's down to under five hundred thousand a decade. So and by
the way, warm temperatures are better for people. So this is going to
be a very very tough case to make by upcoming climate deaths. But we'll
see if they try to do this. Steve gorm I watch MSNBC now and
then so you don't have to. I know, Tony Bender, my producer
loves MSNBC loves Rachel Maddow. But that's a different issue. And I'm watching
this when climate activists talk about not having children, and there's a movement of
foot on college campuses controlled by people like Clotting Gay, etc. That are
telling young women do not have children because you're contributing to global warm and you're
killing the planet by having a child. Now, I hear this climate activist
and I'm thinking this is crazy, but it's mainstream thinking among the elite that
that's why the birth rate among Americans is two point one percent, which is
barely keeping our population current. But explain how having children will not destroy the
planet, because having a child is about the worst thing you can do for
the planet, very very sad, and we're going to have We have many
many young people think that today either afraid that the planet, the planet won't
be around or it won't be livable. No. And there's even an article
that came out was in a New York Post about a month ago that said
humans may be fueling global warming by breathing what I called my breath. That's
right, Well, we eat check saale about two pounds of carbon dioxide a
day. Oh no. When I wrote an article a number of years ago
about the the Keystone XL pipeline, if you look at the emissions of they
were expecting from that pipeline and then you look at housecats, turns out housecats
to a whole lot more carbon dioxide emitting than the pipeline. So in the
US, how about a dog. I mean, I've had dogs most of
my life. Should I tell Schnor from the painted head to skip a breath
every now and then? Yeah, we got all these crazy things going on.
There was another article in New York's Times that said that you should mate
with short people to save the planets. There was there was a mate with
short people. There was an article in the Miami Times a few years ago
that said that that couples are unfaithful because of global warming. So now you
have an excuse. Yeah, global warming made me do it. My wife.
You know, So my wife like five foot five. Should I encourage
her to maybe lose some lose some vertebrus so I should get a little shorter
to I mean, Steve, we're dealing with This is utterly ridiculous, but
it's being peddled as real science. That CEO two is like arsenic and that
it's all about paying off people who contribute to political candidates. And no one
is worse about this than the UN. The UN, and what they're doing
is utterly absurd. So I can't breathe. I have to mate with short
women, I can't have pets, and uh children, you can't have kids.
I'm going to die and I can't breathe. All these young women,
it's going to be very very sad about thirty or forty years when they when
they get to be older and they don't have a family, and then they
realize this is all a bunch of nonsense when the world says, okay,
never mind, we aren't changing Earth's climate. It's nominated by natural factors.
That is what is going to occur. And it'd be very very sad for
many many people believing this stuff. Well, they do, and it's an
article of faith that cannot be questioned. And if you, if you individuals
like you, and indirectly, I continue to put the truth out to the
American people that somehow we're part of a holy cabal representing coal and natural gas.
I can't imagine a world out electricity, can you? Kind of break
down for the American people electrical power grid, which is constantly having problems.
Nonetheless, what is the breakdown of coal approximately, natural gas, oil,
and nuclear about America's power grid right now? Kind of break it down just
in rough terms, Well, in America, it's about forty percent gas,
it's about eighteen percent coal. I think the total is about sixty percent that
are coal and natural gas, nuclear about eighteen percent. But you make an
interesting point. John Kerry, our climate envoy, made a statement a couple
months ago saying we need to get rid of all coal fired power plants.
There are sixty five hundred of those in the world, and the world is
building or planning another thousand, and they provide thirty five percent of the world's
electricity. Yet we have probably hundreds of hospitals and poor nations that don't have
electricity. Imagine no air electricity for air conditioning in an operating room. And
then we have about two We have seven hundred million people that don't have access
to electricity, and we have about two billion people that have blackouts or brownouts
every single day. So your air conditioner in Ohio, if you have one,
and most people do, uses more electricity on average than a third of
the people in the world get to use every day. So you know,
this statement that we got to get rid of all the power plants, it's
just nuts. The elites are very far from anything that's realistic, and we
need to get back to what makes sensible energy policy. Lastly, I see
every day there's literally thousands and thousands of illegals pouring into this country, supported
complintly by the liberals, the progressives, the Joe Biden types, that John
Podesta types, who's taken over from John Kerrey. And according to US Census
Bureau, we're going to have by the year twenty fifty, which is only
twenty six years away, which seems like forever, but let's face it,
we're as close to twenty fifty as we are to nineteen ninety nine that we're
going to have an additional one hundred to one hundred and twenty five million persons
living in America. Now, the liberals say, keep them wide open,
keep them coming from all over the world. The largely unattached, single males
are wreaking havoc in our major cities. If the liberals are serious about fighting
so called climate change, which we cannot fight because the world's going to do
what the globe wants to do. What happens to America when we take the
liberal position that we need another one hundred and twenty five million persons living in
America, what would that do for pollution inside of this country. Well,
again, that's another thing that's been blamed on climate change. Climate in a
Kamala Harris, yeah, has said this is due to climate change, and
President Biden, I think as well. And they were talking about about the
Central America. But you know, the funny thing is if you look at
temperatures in Central America, they haven't changed very much. The warm that's occurring
in the world, the gentle warming, is almost nothing near the equator.
In the United States, it's about a degree in one hundred and forty years
of degree celsius, and it's more up near the Arctic region. Maybe our
words are having some marginal impact, and I hope the American people embrace it.
But once again, Steve Gorham, thank you for coming on the Bill
Cunningham Show. With your permission, we'll do it again. Thank you,
Steve, Thank you. Bill. All Right, God bless you. Let's
continue with more Bill Cunningham. The Great American Live with you Every Sunday Night,
Billy Cunningham, The Great American. One of the great frauds and shams
perpetrated upon the American people by the federal government has been the glories of electric
vehicles and the problems and the solutions not to be resolved hopefully. And when
we discovered the di lithium crystals from Star Trek, or we have cold nuclear
fusion. We'll look back upon this period and say, how stupid was Washington
acquire manufacturers of vehicles to disproportionally make these evs that are completely dysfunctional. By
the way, what was that number? CO two? Zero point zero four?
I said, zero point zero four CO two admission relative to the atmosphere.
And American leads the world, the entire globe and having clean air and
clean water. Let's continue with more. Coming up next will be Jeffrey crue
Air from New Orleans. Bill cunning In, The Great American with you every
Sunday Night, Bill cunning In, The Great American, of course. Jeff
Crueir is a political analyst and a columnist, author of America's Last Chance Commentaries
Available Everywhere, plus a radio talk show host. He posted through townhall dot
Com a few days ago a column that caught my eye because it was right
on point. Joe Biden is America's biggest national security threat. And once again,
Jeff crue Air, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Jeff, first
of all, describe to the American people where we were about three years ago,
as Trump was leaving office in January of twenty twenty one. How were
we looking as Americans as America in January of twenty twenty one, before Joe
Biden sees power, Well, I mean, Bill, thanks for having me.
I thought we were looking pretty good. We were at one point four
percent inflation. We had gas prices about two dollars a gallon, We had
low interest rates. We were coming out of the pandemic, the worst of
it. But there was peace worldwide. There was no war in Israel,
there was no war in Ukraine. Our military was strong. It was peace
and prosperity. Bill, So it was a strong position that we were in,
and he left that to Joe Biden. And by the way, we
also had a secure border at that time, Bill, and maybe the most
secure border we've had in years. And so how we're looking really good in
addition to that, I was told by during the Trumpet administration that Donald Trump
would have direct conversations with Taliban and other leaders in Afghanistan and told them,
if something bad happens to one of our soldiers, something really bad is going
to happen to you. And so there was not an American soldier being killed.
Girls were going to school in Afghanistan. The burka had been retired.
It was as functional as functional it can be in Afghanistan. The southern border
wasn't wide open. We weren't having twenty eight thousand Chinese come across, were
not one hundred thousand Americans getting killed on fentanyl. We had solved largely the
COVID nineteen within eleven months. I saw this a few days ago. From
the time the genome was mapped in January to the so called vaccine eleven months
later, it was happening. It was all happening in the right direction.
Then all of a sudden, we had November of twenty twenty, and then
all hell broke loose. Describe and when you say Joe Bidener's America's biggest national
security threat, please explain. Just give us a revie. Do you know
where we are in the world today. Well, you laid it out perfectly
there. And by the way, under Trump, we would have never had
the vaccine mandates that we had under Biden, which were unconstitutional. So we
had thirteen of our heroes lost in Afghanistan. We just lost three recently in
Jordan. Trump would have withdrawn from Afghanistan with honored dignity. It certainly wouldn't
have been the debacle that we had under Biden. And I think he would
have kept the Bagram Air Base, which we should have. So of course
that embarrassment. Then in Bolden Putin and he goes and invades Ukraine, and
then we've got conflicts everywhere. So we have been attacked one hundred and sixty
six times, probably even more by drone missile or rockets launched by Iranian funded
militias the Gulf of Aden, the Red Seeds have been attacked thirty six times
by Yemeny terrorists, the Huthis. We've got, of course, a horrible
situation there with Hamas and Israel. Twelve hundred innocent Israelis were killed with the
Hamas attack. And now you've got Biden trying to put the brakes on Yahoo
and Israel as they tried to take out this terror group. And remember what
Trump was doing. Bill, We had the Abraham Accords, peace was breaking
out, we had Israel signing peace deals with four Arab nations. It was
historic. He should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize for what happened. Now
war is breaking out everywhere. So we went from peace to utter conflict and
war in that region, chaos. And of course we're told now by the
liberal Democrats and by the mainstream media, well, we have to fear what's
going to happen if Trump is not If Trump is brought back to office,
we have a lot to fear. Well, hell, if Trump isn't brought
back to office, imagine the next five to eight years of these policies continuing
for Joe Biden. I'm willing to bet you a hot fud Sunday he's not
going to be the nominee of the Democrat Party come November. They're going to
get rid of him as soon as possible. He's mentally incompetent, not present.
But nonetheless, can you imagine the policies of Joe Biden on the southern
border with they're on continuing the next four to eight years, What do we
look like then, Well, you know, even if it's not Joe Biden,
if it's Kamala Harris, if it's Gavin Newsom, it's Michelle Obama,
it'll be the same policies, the same open border policies. We have had
some reports up to twelve million illegals that have come in here during the three
years of Joe Biden. My question is, Bill, how many of those
are terrorists? How many your Mexican drug cartel members or criminals. They're wrecking
havoc all over the country. Fentinyl deaths are through the roof. We have
an invasion going on here. I would like the United States to be focused
on the invasion happening here as opposed to anywhere else in the world. We've
got to get our country together. That's why I like Trump's America First policy.
We need to focus on what people that I talk to every day.
They're not concerned about what's going on in Ukraine as much is what they're concerned
about what's going on at our border. They want our country secure, they
want our crime taking care of. They want to deal with this economy that
is so harmful. And you know, our politicians Joe Biden and others really
are not addressing those concerns. So that's why his approval numbers are so bad.
That's why he's losing the Trump That's why in the economy people don't have
any confidence in him, or national security issues. The only issues where he
was leading Trump I saw the other day bill were like climate change and abortion.
Those were his winning issues. And climate change, of course, that's
a farce because we can't affect the clib I've been told for years. You
can't affect the climate or the weather. It is what it is. We
can't predict what's going to happen in a week, But they're telling us in
seventy five years what the climate is going to look like, and say,
we don't know what's going to happen next week. Let's just talk about one
issue. The head of the snake, and the head of the snake is
Iran. Iran is the head of the snake. What was the status of
Iran in twenty twenty and what's the status in Iran today? Well, I'll
tell you. In twenty twenty, they were reeling because Donald Trump had taken
out their number two leader, Solomoni. Donald Trump had put sanctions on Iran,
so they were economically hurting. They weren't funding Hamas and the Huthis and
the Hezbollah to the degree that they're doing now. They were constrained. That's
why I think we had a chance for peace breaking out there because of all
the pressure that we put on Iran. Fast forward during the Biden years,
the sanctions get eased, Iran is flush with cash. They start funding Hamas,
Hezbela, the whois all these other terror groups. Remember Bill, they're
the number one benefactor of terrorism in the world. Iran and Trump rightfully putting
pressure on them. Biden and the Democrats for some reason always want to playkate
the Mulas there in Tehran, and that's what they did. And look,
hell has been unleashed because of that. You wrote a book, America's Last
Chance, Jeff crue Eric, and you kind of give us a synopsis of
why you think this election is our last chance. It's the most important election
in my lifetime. This is the most I think, the clearest choice that
we've had between policies that are really putting America last and policies that are putting
America first. This is all about protecting Americans in our country and really preserving
something that we can hand down to future generations. We cannot continue down this
path that bill. Everybody knows that we can't continue with twelve million illegals coming
in here and attacks on citizens all over the country, and a military that
doesn't meet recruitment goals, and all these conflicts going on across the world,
and the push they're trying to make toward evs and this climate alarmism. Did
the American people don't want. There's a disconnect between what the American people want
and what is being forced down our throats. We need to get in sync
with the needs of Americans, and I think Donald Trump has his finger on
the pulls he connects with America. I think he knows what he needs to
do, and we've got to get him back in there. This is critical
bill, really for our country. So I'm going to do everything I can
to make sure that he wins. And Joe Biden or whoever whatever left this.
It's not going to be Harry Truman replacing Joe Biden. It's going to
be someone just as bad Bill, just as bad. Another issue is the
criminality you bring up the military. There's ten to fifteen thousand a month that
Americans don't want to join the military because we're told by the Biden administration through
Lloyd Austin and Mark Milly, And thank god he's gone that America the military
is sexist and racist. When I watched Lloyd, when I watch Austin,
Lloyd Austin give testimony under oath, what are the biggest problems facing the United
States military? He said, Number one is white supremacy and number two is
climate change and mitigation. On millilitary basis, if we have a welcome wagon
general and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs talking about climate change and talking about what
to do about white supremacy, who'd want to join that type of organization.
I think Colin Powell had it right about fifteen twenty years ago that the military
is the great equalizer. It's about a meritocracy, not about race. But
that's been flipped on its head. We got the military not meeting their recruitment
numbers. We have the governor of your home state of Louisiana declaring an emergency
because of a lack of police abilities. We have the city of Austin,
Texas, in which cops are leaving the force and droves the capital of Texas
because of lawlessness. We have the Governor of Oregon in Portland declaring a state
of emergency for ninety days. There's more poop on the street than there are
jobs on many major American cities with tents everywhere. I look in Chicago,
New York as a disaster and Jeff Career, I found a report that indicated
by the year twenty fifty, which you were as close to twenty fifty,
is we ared about the year two thousand, we're going to have an additional
one hundred and twenty million persons living in America who weren't born here. One
hundred and twenty million are coming. Whether the Chinese military age, the drug
card tells the fentanyl deaths, that is not what anyone signed up for.
And unless we stop immediately the invasion on our southern border, we're not going
to recognize this place. I know it's not sustainable. Bill, we cannot
continue down this path. That's why the border wall needs to be finished,
and we need to do what Donald Trump has talked about to port the people
that are here illegally absolutely and send a message you're not welcomed. You know,
Joe Biden rolled out the welcome att for all of these illegals to come
here, and they did because they knew they were going to get paid and
they're getting and they're getting more benefits than American citizens. And that's the strategy
of it. They're kicking out American citizens for these illegals. They're giving them
more benefits than are tack spayers are getting. They're taking jobs away from Americans,
they're sending money back home. Many of them, sadly are committing crimes.
So we've got a crisis that is beyond anything that we've ever seen.
One point three million illegals were shipped out of the country during the EISENHOWERD administration.
It can be done. We need a much bigger program now. But
I'm confident that Donald Trump can get it done. And it's necessary really to
save our country. You outlined it perfectly. Our cities are collapsing. They're
all run by Democrats, Bill, all of them are destroying these cities.
And that's where a lot of these are migrants are going and making things even
worse. New York City, Chicago, and these mayors are saying, oh,
we can't handle anymore. Well, maybe they should have thought of that
when they made these places sanctuary cities. So they said, come one,
come on, and now they are. And now they're saying, hey,
we can't handle it. Well, all fifty states can't handle it. It's
got a hand bill. I'll point this out about reparations in San Francisco.
The civil rights crowd in San Francisco has said, for decades, we've experienced
discrimination in housing, jobs, education, criminal justice. And so if that's
the case, who's responsible for the policies that costs such discrimination in San Francisco
that each black San Franciscans might receive five million dollars in reparations? Which political
party? How about eight years of Diane Feinstein being the mayor. How about
eight years of Gavin Noosen being the mayor. How about Kamala Harris as the
law director. Then London Breed is the mayor. Now she's a left wing
African American liberal female. Imagine being responsible for the collapse of black Americans in
San Francisco. And the last time there was a Republican there in charge was
sixty years ago. For sixty years, the Democrats have controlled major American cities
like my hometown of Cincinnati, you can't go to school, can't walk the
streets. And now the Democrats who caused the problem want to pay their voters
five million dollars for the policies and damage caused by them. What is the
media par right now? Wait a minute. Democrats are in charge of Saint
Louis, Baltimore, Austin, New York, San Francisco, Cincinnati, and
guess what, They're the ones causing the problems, and they have to pay
out reparations for the fairies and their policies. Does anyone make that connection.
I haven't seen that connection. You know, it's a perfect point. They
own every one of these problems because they control all of these cities. You
one hundred percent right. I'll go one better. New Orleans, my city.
Democrats have been in charge since eighteen seventy two, so they've been in
charge since reconstruction. They own everything. They've got every position in the city
of New Orleans. So the crime, the blight, the filth, the
poverty, the drugs, all of it caused by Democrat policies. Atlanta,
and as all the other cities you pointed out, Democrats control these areas.
What I'm hoping, Bill is that the citizens of these cities will realize these
policies are not working. They're pausing destruction. We've got to ditch this party,
vote for something else, Try something else. It can't get much worse,
Bill, Why not try to go with Trump and the Republicans. Try
something that will maybe bring some new life and new energy and new policies,
incentives for businesses to move there, clean up these cities, deal with the
crime situation. All of them need it. All of them are run by
Democrats, and they're being all destroyed. Well, lastly, Jeffrey Cruier,
I would say this, God helps those that help themselves. Here in Cincinnati,
we have nine Democrats on council and there's not been a Republican mayor for
fifty years. The city school system produces eighty percent of kids that are functionally
illiterate. We have a crime rate which is worse than the city of Chicago.
So we had an election in November. There was in office female named
Liz Keating, Republican, well known name in Cincinnati. She finished tenth out
of a nine horse race and she was the only Republican that could have won,
and she lost. Going away, God helps those that help themselves In
Chicago, when Lori Lightfoot also known as Beetlejuice, ran the whole city of
Chicago right into the toilet. The citizens of Chicago elected someone more liberal and
worse. Johnson is more liberal, to the left of a beatle. Jew's
not much space out there, So God helps those who help themselves. In
New Orleans, is there any chance that a Republican could be elected as the
mayor or city councilman? Is that possible? No chance at all, because
what New Orleans does is they go further to the left. So you've gone
further to the left in the recent elections. So we have a Soros funded
da who, by the way, maybe changing his policies because he was just
carjacked with his mother a few weeks back and now he's singing a different tcen
to about crime. But he was funded by Soros. A lot of these
people are funded by the super left wing. They're becoming more and more and
more progressive. Maybe they'll reach a point where they realize, we can't go
further left. We've got to make a course correction. I hope we've reached
that point. There'll be another election next year. The mayor is so bad
now they tried to recall her. We couldn't get enough signatures on the recall
petition, but at least some people realize that these policies are not working and
we just need more of them. To wake up. Bill, They got
to wake up. Jeff Carreria are the best there is Townhall dot com and
elseo are and Jeff, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill
Cunningham Show. Let's sound the alarm and hope somebody hears it. Thank you,
Yeah, yes, indeed, thank you, Bill, Thank you,
God bless you. Let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham, the Grand American

exodence, the one and only Bill Cunninghead. Bill Cunningham to Grant America.
And of course, the South Carolina Primary is now in the books and the
Super Tuesday comes up in about eight or nine days. In March fifth,
We're gonna get a lot of determination whether or not Governor Haley, Ambassador Haley's
going to stay in the race or not. And of course Leland Viddert of
News Nation on Monday through Friday at seven o'clock was on site. You can
only really get the temperature of an event if you're physically present, and Leland
Vittert was and is and Leland welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and give
the American people two or three takeaways of South Carolina. What it means for
the Trump Star or what it means for Haley. What it means for Donald
Trump is that he is continuing to make the case that he is the standard
bearer of the most rabid or most angry, most excited part of the Republican
Party. I think the takeaways for them basically are, the race is the
same. Haley did a little bit better than she was expected to do,
but the race has nothing's really changed. We keep waking up with the same
thing that Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee or likely nominee, and Nikki Haley
is a slightly more honest version of Gavin Newsom. She's running in case something
happens, and unlike Gavin Newsom, she's actually running. And did you have
a sense there was about a twenty one point victory in South Carolina about the
Trump stood, did you have a sense that was above expectations, at expectations
or below expectations? Because Haley spent about seven or eight times more money than
Trump spent. I'm not sure how either one could spend any money that would
make some voter change their opinion about one or the other. But did you
have a sense this was a Swan song or just an impediment and an obstacle.
What are the other takeaways as far as Haley is concerned, because she
says she's going on going on to Michigan. She's going on to Michigan,
and she's having a rally in Virginia just outside of Washington, d C.
But had a super Tuesday. Interestingly enough, she's has an a rally in
Falls for Church, Virginia, which is just outside of Washington. It is
a city that was a Biden plus fifty city. Think about that. So
it shows you sort of her support is of a very Kingenie, old professional
class Republican and a lot of her support and we found this at her rallies.
And when we talk to people, is an anti Trump is an anti
Trump vote? You might you might almost break now the American political system into
three camps. Okay, the anti Trump camp, which by default becomes pro
Biden because it's very hard to find anybody who actually likes Joe Biden, even
among Democrats. Right there's a lot of people who don't like Trump, and
therefore they like Biden because Biden is the person to be Trump. But there's
very few pro Bidens, folks. So there's an anti Trump group, there's
a Trump group, and then there's and then there's like a Niki Haley supporter,
there's anti Trump Democrats, Nikki Haley, and Donald Trump voters. Those
are the three groups in America right now. Yep. And I heard it
was here that you A Cromo talked about there's never been an occasion we're a
non incumbent president one Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and also South Carolina.
Has never happened before, and that is a non incumbent presidents or candidate
won those four and I might add won them somewhat handily, and so well's
okay. But but Bill let's not fool ourselves. Donald Trump is the incumbent,
right He is the standard bearer of the Republican Party. He is the
man who is effectively the incumbent. He is the leader of the Republican Party.
Just ask all the media that covers him and asks every Republican to answer
for everything that he says. So he's the leader of the Republican Party.
I would turn that around the fact that especially in Iowa, New Hampshire,
but also in South Carolina, somewhere around forty percent of the Republican electorate want
somebody else now tells you that Donald Donald Trump, and we've known this for
a long time, enjoys enormous support within the Republican Party and in rabid support,
much much more visceral support than Nicky Haley or anyone else does. But
at the same time, when it comes to suburban women and professional class,
you know, suburban nights men as well, his support weakens drastically. Now,
you know, you could argue it doesn't matter. You can argue that
there's gonna be so many Republicans who turn out in the general election and it's
going to overcome that deficit. But you can't argue that Nicky Haley beats Joe
Biden by eighteen points and in a national poll, and Donald Trump is within
the margin of error. Did you, leland Vetter, do you buy it
in the idea that whichever, and this is something Nicky Haley has discussed on
the stump, and I'm sure you've heard it. Whichever, are the two
major parties get rid of their eighty year old nominee that party's gonna win?
Do you think that's true? I think that. Look just look at it
this way. If all of a sudden, Donald Trump was running against Roy
Cooper, okay, and Gretchen Whitmer is the VP, Cooper being the relatively
centrist Democratic governor of North Carolina extremely popular, okay. Or if Roy Cooper,
or if all of a sudden Donald Trump was running against any Basher,
the guy the Democratic governor in Kentucky who won in its Trump state, okay,
I think Republicans would rightfully be extraordinarily worried. Okay. And if all
of a sudden Nikki Haley was the nominee in the Republican Party, I know
Democrats would be terrified because they tell me that. And I also read a
report somewhere that each part, each of the candidates are running to save their
own hide. Let me give you the breakdown of this commentator and said that
if Donald Trump wins the presidency, one of the first things he's going to
do is get special counsel to go after Joe Biden personally, it's going to
be a replay of Jack Smith. On the other hand, if Trump loses,
and then the entire system is going to come after Donald Trump. So
where all those moneys came from into the Biden money's account is to be determined
every time. I think neither the Republicans nor the Democrats want to find the
bottom of that, because nobody wants Kamala Harris to be the president. On
the twenty fifth Amendment, however, it looks to me like Donald Trump must
remain as the nominee. Number one, it burns in his belly to get
back. But number two, that'says get out of jail free card at least
from the federal charges. And the way that Fani Willis stuff is blowing apart
with all these tent was at twelve thousand text messages and one hundreds of telephone
calls. It's his get out of jail free card. And the big fight
is going to be the next month or two whether the RNC is going to
pay any of Donald Trump's legal bills. That's the second issue completely. But
whoever wins, you know, in the news business, you're a reporter,
so to speak, and I'm a and a sense of columnist. The next
seven or eight months are going to be the most fantastic ride in American politics
since nineteen sixty eight. And what happens either side, it's going to be
fantastic, and maybe not in a good way. I think you your last
phrase is the most important bill, and you said not fantastic. I think
it's not in a good way for America. And you, you know,
you're the great American. This isn't good for America. What Trump does to
America not good for America. What Joe Biden does for America and for our
common belief in this idea, not good for America. Neither man lives up
to putting the country, the republic, our democracy, ahead of himself.
And it's interesting, right because we have obviously, we have Lincoln, and
we have Washington. Washington quit after after two terms and shocked the king.
Okay, Abraham Lincoln was able to hold the Republic together. Certainly in eighteen
sixty four, it didn't look like he was going to be re elected.
No one's comparing Joe Biden, right and and Donald Trump to in or Washington.
But there were two other men who quit, and they said it for
the good of the country, and they did so a great personal risk,
right Lyndon Johnson, great personal embarrassment. Richard Nixon knew that he could be
prosecuted and quit anyway, said I can't put the country through this, okay.
And my buddy Chris Stirewald to the Dispatch, made this point that neither
neither Trump, no nor Biden even measure up to Nixon and Johnson to be
willing to say I'm done for the good of the country. We need to
put the country ahead of my own personal ambition, my own personal politics wherever
it is, and get out. And at this point we're gonna have chaos.
I've made the comment before Leland ventered of News Nation, no matter who
wins, assuming it's Biden, and I got hot fud sunny bets all over
the tri State that Biden will not be the nominee of the Democratic Party in
August of this year, that something's going to happen. Some say could happen
in the State of Union address in a couple of weeks. In a way,
she's has some major faux Paul. He's gonna tumble down some steps.
He's gonna say something totally stupid. Something's gonna happen, and then Jill's gonna
tip on the top of him on, tap him on the shoulder and say,
Joe, it's time to go back to Delaware. Something's gonna happen.
And if that doesn't happen, if we get through August and it's Labor Day,
and if we get together a week after Labor Day and the ballots are
being printed and it's Biden versus Trump, no matter what happens, leland Vederck,
we're gonna have total chaos. If Trump wins, the media, which
is angry as can be that he's doing as well he's gonna do, is
gonna continue to do what they do. And then secondly, the criminal prosecutions
in the civil may be put on hold for a while, may not be.
It's gonna be total chaos. The media will burn and have projectile vomiting,
an explosive diary against the Trumpster. On the other hand, well,
that's a great visual bill thanks on a Sunday. Well, exactly, that's
what I'm tending. I believe that that's gonna happen. On the other hand,
if Joe Biden wins, does anybody seriously maintain eas in control of the
presidency? Even now, when you look at Joe Biden in twenty twenty one,
there's a significant mental and physical decline in the last three years. One
cannot imagine whoever's the VP for the Democrats. If Joe Biden is going to
win, that VP is probably ninety percent chance going to be the president within
one year, and they can't get rid of Kamala Harris because if Joe Biden's
the nominee is going to be Gamala and as a consequence, that'll be the
most insane circumstance for Kamala Harris will become the president, in which case we're
gonna have total chaos. And so no matter what, everywhere I look around,
I see absolute chaos for the next several months, and we have serious
problems that must be resolved. Do you see any scenario, no matter which
one wins, assuming bids the nominee and actually is elected either way, don't
we have total chaos? I believe actually more deeply and have better feelings about
America in that sense. And I'm old enough to remember when Donald Trump,
the election of Donald Trump in twenty sixteen was going to send the country into
a tailspin. It didn't. I'm old enough to remember the events of January
sixth, which were horrific, and in the country was able to write itself.
Thanks, I would say, in large part of Mike Pence in a
profile, encourage that we don't often get in politics in the country will continue
through. You mentioned nineteen sixty eight a terrible time. We made it through,
but we made it through. And I think there's a there's a responsibility.
There may be chaos, that's fine, but we've had chaotic times before.
To me, there's a there's a higher calling to this, which is
to be the voice of saying, yes, there's crazy. Yes, we
live in interesting times, right, which which is both a blessed and a
cursing the curse, but we live in We live in interesting times. But
it's going to be okay. I love that you maybe usually run for office
no matter what happens It's going to be okay because ultimately we get the government
we deserve, and I do think in God we trust. One issue that
percolated the last week, which came out of nowhere, is when the Alabama
Supreme Court ruled that a frozen embryo is considered a child. And from that
point on, even in the morning shows, I see the coverage of the
IVF. Quickly I see the Trumpster said that no, we should allow IVF
treatments. We had Hayley first saying that we're talking to me about a life
and then she a few hours later she switched that off to say, well,
we ought to have IVF. And I use Ohio as a bellweather because
we have a very active US center seat here running against shared Brown and all
three of the conservatives of running in the primary, and that's going to be
determined in the next three or four weeks. A Dolan, Marino, and
LaRose all came out in favor of IVF and a state that's a right to
life state. And so how do you, Leland Verett, what are your
thoughts about abortion, which was kind of a secondary issue, maybe a third
suddenly percolating and the fact that now the Trumpster, and many Republican senators have
said they don't agree with Alabama. Is that still going to be an issue?
It's going to still be an issue because the media wants to be an
issue. Where it's still an issue this weekend, even though the leader of
the Republican Party and now the other option, meaning Nikki Haley, have both
come out heavily in favor of iv FIAT, it's still a story. Anytime
Republicans are talking about abortion, they're losing. Anytime Democrats are talking about immigration,
they're losing. So who defines the field of play in politics has an
awful lot to say about who wins. And I would argue that the Democrats
have an enormous advantage because the media helps them just by dint of story coverage
and in choosing which to cover. There's only so much airtime. And I
think it's interesting you asked me tonight about the ivf issue and not about a
twenty two year old nursing student was killed in Georgia by an illegal alien.
And that's because of how the coverage has been defined by others. If Republicans
are able to talk about about crime and immigration, they're in a much better
place and the Georgia. You know, the Georgia student, the nursing student
murdered. A guy's name was Jose Aberra. He was arrested by NYPD in
September twenty three for child and endangerment, released on bond. Noted Tanner was
issued and he made his way somehow a legal immigrant from Venezuela arrested in New
York as an illegal immigrant, not sent back to Venezuela because Venezuela will not
take back any of the people that leave Venezuela anymore than China will take back
Chinese to come back. And that murderer made his way to Georgia and found
a girl that was jogging and murdered. And now Governor Kemp is sending a
nasty letter to Joe Biden. So if the issue is a legal immigration,
Republicans win. If the issue is abortion, Republicans lose because I think for
bad reasons, many of the country is not pro life, just the opposite
is pro choice. Well, we got to run once again. Leland Vitter,
thank you for your perspectives on what happened in South Carolina. I would
anticipate Michigan will be a great state for Donald Trump. And at some point
I noticed on the News Nation website tonight. There today there's some reference to
the fact she's lost a major donor. So we'll see what happens with that.
But once again, Leland, vindt, will you be going to Michigan
at all in the next week or two, I won't be. I would
tell you Michigan is going to be a lot more interesting about what happens with
Joe Biden. Arab Americans either not showing up or vote or voting, you
know, none of the above, which is what racheated to Leap wants them
to do. That's gonna be a much, much, much more interesting story
in Michigan on the Democratic side than what happens on the Republican side. I
learned. I learned there was two two hundred thousand Arabs who Arab Americans who
voted in Michigan in twenty twenty. Out of the two hundred thousand, one
hundred and sixty thousand voted, they said in exit polling for Biden, And
if that switches the other way, then obviously Biden cannot win Michigan. But
once again, Leland up, if they don't show it's simple as say I'm
not I'm not voting, and they're so mad right now they can't see straight.
And so we'll see what happens. But November fifth is a long way
off. Leland Viverter, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill
Cunningham Show. Thank you, Leland, thank you, Ah God bless you.
Let's continue with more the line becomes available, which it never does.
Eight six six six four seven seven three three seven Bill Cunningham, the Great
American Live with you every Sunday night, Billy Cunningham. Let's continue. And
of course, the point I make with Leland Vitter, another so called journalist,
is that no matter what happens, we're going to have complete and utter
chaos for the next few years. If Donald Trump wins, I'm voting for
him one hundred because his policies work, and I can put up with the
mean tweets and the nasty side shows, and I can put up with some
of the lawsuits. The poor guy has to spend about one hundred thousand dollars
every day in interest on the judgment with Judge and goron out of New York
City on hundred thousand dollars a day in interest. On one hand, I
got Donald Trump, who's been a pleasure to be around. His policies work.
But on the other hand, we have someone like Joe Biden, who
obviously is mentally deranged to such an extent he can't put together two sentences that
make any sense whatsoever, and his policies don't work. So if I have
a candidate like a Donald Trump who's kind of prickly, but his policies works,
demonstrated by his four years in office, as opposed to Joe Biden,
who cannot function mentally, I'll take the guy who policies work over the guy
whose policies do not work. You know what I'm saying. I hope you
do. Coming up next to Jason Isaac going to talk about energy and things
of that character. If the line becomes available eight six six six four seven
seven three three seven. Bill Cunningham, the Great American with you every suing
you know, Bill Cunningham, the Great American, And of course electric vehicles,
the Inflation Reduction Act, and also the clearer cutting a forest in order
to provide evy battery facilities here in America is causing havoc. And one of
the experts in the matter of energy is Jason Isaac. He's the founder and
CEO of the American Energy Institute. Jason Isaac, Welcome again to the Bill
Cunningham Show. And a note one of the columns you've written about the Chinese
green energy forms supported by Michigan State government is planning to the forest land to
build an electric vehicle battery plant designed to help the state meet its climate goals.
And it appears that Governor Whitmer is allocating two hundred million dollars in taxpayer
funding for the development while clear cutting the forest to provide for this. So
can you tell me where we are here? We are in the great month
of February of twenty twenty four, and all hell's breaking loose everywhere in the
world, and at this point it appears America's energy needs are being supplied more
by the Chinese than by anyone else. Can you explain to the American people
what's happening in Michigan and how it relates to their life. Yeah, it's
happening in Michigan, and it's happening around the country. The federal government is
heavily subsidizing unreliable variable generation, and the left is just hell bent on destroying
the earth to so called save the planet, you know, and I to
talk about destroying the earth. You're right, they're going to mow down hundreds
of acres of land, if not thousands of acres of land with great trees
that are supposedly absorbing the CO two. You know, this gas that's necessary
for life on Earth that everybody wants to capture. And I say no.
I embrace the high carbon lifestyle, and I think the rest of the world
should get to live one too. But it's absolutely appalling. And that's why
what the federal government is pushing through the Inflation Reduction Act, through the Production
tax Credit that has been around for decades, that is crushing grids around this
country. It's a reason why you see so many foreign companies, companies with
Chinese Communist Party affiliates in the leadership of those companies investing in these projects because
they can get our tax dollars. We're subsidizing communism and socialism around the world.
Well, when you say, it's causing the opposite effect of what's intended,
and we went into this thing headfirst, because it's subsidized industries that were
not viable, which is electric ev battery industry is not viable, and can
you tell the American people as to how this helps the Chinese. You write
that the irony is that China, the world's biggest polluter, is bulldozing pristine
wildlife to build toxic electric car battery plants. China's continued quests to dominate the
battery industry should prize no one, and we're playing into this because we're subsidizing
it. You also say Biden's administration continues to push for electric vehicles that won't
save the planet. It will decimate the global environment. So the environmentalists,
instead of saving the planet, is killing it by these electric batteries. So
explain what the long term goal is by the communist red Chinese's to control every
aspect of our lives. And I think we've got some communist sympathizers within our
governments around the country that are allowing them to do this. To make one
electric vehicle battery for a small ev requires moving five hundred thousand pounds of earth.
And where is this happening. This is happening in cancer villages in China
where they're utilizing slave labor to process the rare earth minerals. And then in
China, the control own and control over seventy percent of the minds for cobalt,
where today you'll have forty thousand kids between the ages of four and thirteen
using hand tools and their bare hands. They'll be covered in sulfuric acid dust
mining cobalt to drive this electric vehicle revolution that you and I as taxpayers are
contributing nearly fifty thousand dollars per electric vehicle, even if we don't own one,
we are helping pay for one. We're doing it through higher cost for
electricity, we're doing it through direct subsidies to these companies, and we're doing
it through buying internal combustion engine vehicles. Yes, they're actually contributing because of
the crazy corporate average fuel economy standards. And they still with fifty thousand dollars
of subsidies per vehicle, they still can't make money. And that's why many
automobile manufacturers are cutting back on their EV FORGAT. Now you ran over that
rather quickly. How many, how many? How much earth's got to be
moved to produce one one battery? How much one battery for a small EV
five hundred thousand pounds of earth has to be moved, mined and processed.
That's why I say they're destroying the earth. The so called save the planet,
but their policies don't do anything to save the planet. All they do
is separate us from our food, our fuel, and our money also known
as our freedom. And I would think you also glossed over the item of
these forty thousand kids, my producer Tony Bender and others are not in mind
somewhere on the Congo or Ecuador, on their hands and knees to get the
lithium and other materials. How many and these are all kids? Shall I
use the term children of color? That these are not white kids from the
US or from Canada. That these are migrant children that are in the minds
being paid little or nothing to get the ingredients to put into a battery shipped
over to China in order to make And how many children are injured or killed
every year because of these mining efforts of the environmental wackos in this country.
How many children of color are killed and injured? Yeah, it's appalling.
Their life expectancy is less than twenty years. That of hours they're working in
these unsafe conditions, and there are hundreds of children every year that actually just
disappear and these minds collapse. They dig these tunnels with hand tools, they
get in there to get the cobalt, and they're known to just collapse.
I've seen heartbreaking videos of people trying to pull people out of these minds in
the Congo. It's unfortunate. And I love it when woke people, you
know, in these urban areas that are just so wealthy, they've got so
much time on their hands that they can go out and block highways and they
worry about environmental justice. And I say, where's the environmental justice for the
forty thousand kids that are making the products that you say are going to save
the planet that do absolutely nothing to mitigate a change in climate. You know,
many many decades ago, Edward R. Murrow I did a good friend
of Tony Bender, did a report on the Harvest of Shame, in which
children south of our border were consigned to work in fields all the days of
their life, bent over, and because of that, we had child labor
laws. Amazing to me, that's sixty minutes and the mainstream media doesn't send
an entire production crew somewhere in South America or into the Congo and follow the
day in the life of a child slave on hands and knees in the dirt
and the dark, digging for cobalt to satisfy the needs of suburbanites who want
to drive a tesla? Are you amazed? That's the story of the EV
batteries that are destroying the world, seeking to save it. Why isn't that
story being done? I wish I knew, But because it's not. They
should be done in Chile and looking at the surface minds there where they're getting
lithium. They should be in the Congo. But they can't really go in
the Congo because they'll get shot and killed because of the Chinese communists control over
the areas. You know. So Darth wrote a book called Cobalt Read,
and he was almost murdered during the time of writing this book because he got
access and was able to get some of these pictures of these appalling conditions.
But we have lithium deposits right here in the United States, and administration is
rejecting permits to mine those where they would be just like all the rest of
our energy, oil, gas, colon nuclear, we produce it more responsibly
than anywhere else on the planet. But the Biden administration and other states are
rejecting applications to mine cobalt and lithium here in the United States. Maybe it's
because the costs are way too high and they've just thrown cost benefit analysis out
the window. Well, Joe Biden, once again, who's been racist his
entire life. Joe Biden has taking racism into new levels. He wants kids
of color all over the world. He doesn't want lithium mining inside the United
States of America for environmental concerns. He doesn't care about the Congo or Chile
because that's a different issue. Speak to me about Hertz, the largest running
car company in the world. They just dumped them two months ago, twenty
thousand, twenty thousand evs onto the market because customers don't want them. And
that we're told in another three months they're going to drop another twenty thousand.
They have eighty thousand evs they're going to drop in the market in the next
year. Hurts because people don't want these electric vehicles because to return them you
must stand in line somewhere, and for those of us that don't own one
in the first place, you have to wait. You have to return it
with a full charge. How much has the cost been the Hurts which is
put into the cost of your rental car, all the money they've lost one
hundreds of millions of dollars. Well, why did Hurts go this way?
Were they paid to do so by the federal government? Well, it was
virtue signaling. As I've testified in front of Congress, virtue signaling is proving
to be very expensive, and companies like Hurts are going to write down billions
of dollars in losses. And ultimately, you've got to look at the shareholders
of these companies. You look at who is an investor in Ford who had
this incredible you know, we were going to push full forward with evs and
now they're saying that they're losing over sixty thousand dollars per lightning forward f one
fifty that they're selling these sell for ninety two thousand dollars with the extended range
batteries. You know, so you're talking about moving you know, multiples of
five hundred thousand pounds of earth to make the batteries to go in one lightning
and plus the fifty thousand dollars in subsidies that're getting from me and you these
trucks would cost over two hundred thousand dollars on the lot, and no one's
going to buy that for an F one point fifty that doesn't get any range
during cold weather and takes hours to charge. So I think the chickens are
coming home to rust for companies like Hurtz fort Is cutting production in half.
They're tired of losing billions of dollars. But who should really be tired is
the pensioners. And why the pensioners because you look at companies like black Rock
Bank are at State Street, these large asset under management companies, these financial
institutions that are forcing companies they invest in to go down this path of evs
and their returns. Ford's returns and profits would have been much higher and more
than I think nearly double their last annual report, which would have been beneficial
to people like firefighters and police officers and teachers who are having their pension dollars
weaponized against these companies and they don't even realize it. Fighting back. I
know legislators in Ohio were fighting back and pushing back against this weaponization of capital.
Several states have joined the ranks of Texas and pushing back and so I
hope there's some good efforts to wake up these woke financial institutions that are weaponizing
our capital against our best interest. Jason Isaac, founder and CEO of the
American Energy Institute. What percent of the atmosphere is CO two? I'm watching
this hearing these us. I think it was Kennedy of Louisiana as one of
the environmental wacos. Can you tell me we're trying to stop CO two emissions
and CO two is critical to the survivability of plant life and the human beings.
But nonetheless, the estimates of the experts was ten percent, twenty percent
of the atmosphere CO two? What percent of the Earth's atmosphere we're trying to
prohibit the rise of CO two? What percent is it? Did? Zero
point zero four percent? Let me get that number, zero point zero four?
Yes, yes, zero point zero four And what is the goal to
keep them from going to? What is zero point zero five or six?
What's the goal? And we need so it's zero point zero four is the
composition of the atmosphere of CO two. Everything's about stopping these carbon fuels put
here by God Almighty himself for our use. They're part of God's great plan
to have oil and natural gas, et cetera, and earth for Americans to
use for another one hundred years until we discover the true value of di lithium
crystals. Until that point, what was the do you have some number?
Of course, the environment of Waco, say the CO two most thought,
we're ten to twenty percent. It's zero point zero four. What is the
goal to keep it from rising to what? Zero point zero five? Yeah,
they're saying, well, we've got to stave all of one point five
degrees of warming, Which is funny because just in the last couple of weeks
people are coming out and saying we've actually passed past one point seven in what's
happened during that time. Over the last one hundred years, as we've so
called warm the earth one and a half to two degrees, you've seen deaths
from weather related events. Because of the economic prosperity from producing hydrocarbons, deaths
from weather related events have gone down ninety nine percent for a while our population
has quadrupled ninety nine percent. Reduction of human deaths because of the brilliance of
natural gas and oil and what it brings to middle class values ninety nine percent
reduction in human deaths from you would think listening to the CBS Evening News and
ABC does it every night. It's a weather report. We have a thunderstorm
somewhere over New York City and that leads. So you're saying that in the
last one hundred years we've had a ninety nine percent reduction and human deaths from
weather related events. Ninety nine percent reduction zero point zero four percent Z two
and they're selling us. Do you think even environmental wackos understand this. No,
they don't, and they really don't care. They think that humans are
the problems, and they think that there needs to be a lot less of
us on this planet. When you really get down into their policies, they're
very Malthusium. They think there's too many humans on the planet. I couldn't
disagree more. We need to have more of us go forth and multiply.
There's plenty of food as long as we have nitrogen fossil fuel based fertilizers to
sustain life. And you look, during that same period of time, a
greater than half of the population lived in abject poverty one hundred years ago.
Today that number is around eight percent. These are and our population is quadrupled.
These are incredible numbers. It's flourishing because of access to affordable, reliable
energy. And unfortunately we've seen just over the last few years, we've seen
a climate policy crisis being created by a leftist administration at the federal at state
levels, electricity costs are of twenty five percent between twenty twenty one and twenty
twenty two. There's a thirty percent increase in people getting their electricity disconnected,
a seventy six percent increase in people getting their natural gas disconnected. And that's
here in the United States. And to think that we just cut off LNG
export terminals the FIDE administration just paused. Guess what. There's over seventy percent
of the fertilizer plants in the European Union are offline, not making fertilizer because
they don't have their feet stock natural gas. And guess what we're standing over
here in the United States to see if it produce better than anywhere else on
the planet that we could be exporting to our friends and allies in Europe so
they don't have to be dependent on Russia and China. People that really truly
want to do as harm could care less about the environment, not much to
say about human rights. I want the American people to fixate on zero point
zero four percent of the high carbon lifestyle and embrace it. And one last
thought from Gregory Wrightstone, geologists and executive director of zero two Coalition of According
to the UN, the greatest threat to engager species as habitat loss. Apparently
we need to destroy the environment in order to save it. And you got
to follow the money, Jason Isaac, who's getting paid? Who isn't getting
paid? But thanks for coming on. The truth will set us all free.
Zero point zero four percent, Let's destroy the planet. Let's kill a
bunch of kids in the Congo and Chile. Let's disconnect electricity all over the
world because we have to keep it from going from zero point zero four to
zero point zero five. It is a crisis, Jason Isaac. Once again,
we'll have more flourishing, we have more crises. And thank you for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. We'll put the facts out. Let the
American people decide. Jason Isaac, thank you very much, great to be
on. God bless you. Let's continue with more wow. Over the last
one hundred and twenty five years and ninety nine percent reduction in deaths from weather
events. But every evening on the evening news, it's a total crisis.
Bill cunning him the Grand American, live with you every Sunday night, my
bully cunning him the Great American. Once again. I want to thank the
Great Jason Isay for coming on. But I particularly want to thank Leland Vittert
because he kind of said what many people were thinking, and that is that
the support for Donald Trump is deep, but as not getting any more broad.
I may disagree. I think every time the Democrats from New York City
or from Atlanta, that's a joke happening there. With twelve thousand text messages
and hundreds of telephone calls. But I barely knew the guy Nathan Wade.
I do anything about him. I know that we didn't have a relationship.
That's a bunch of bs. I'd rather have somebody as my president that has
mean tweets, mean looks hair, it doesn't look so good anymore, and
he's being sued and indicted all over the place by liberal Democrats. I'd rather
have a guy like that in office then whose policies work, then someone whose
policies fail to work. And by the way, Joe Biden has collected millions
and millions and millions of dollars from foreign interest and the media and everyone else.
The prosecutor's officers turned their head the other way because they don't want to
benefit Donald Trump. At least Donald Trump earned his money fairly. One cannot
say that about Joe Biden whatsoever he earned his money, shall we say unfairly?
But policies don't work, or policies do work. We'll see what the
American people say by the next few months. Buckle up, it's going to
be one hell of a ride. Bill Cunningham, the great American, with
you throughout the entire process, Live with you every Sunday night.
