00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:31.239
Portions of The Bill Cunningham Show may
be pre recorded. Willie brought you by

2
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.640
Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway
In Hotels are serving up double points for

00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.719
every qualifying stay book at Choice Hotels
dot com. Now here's the man who's

4
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:46.039
been recognized as radio's best, the
recipient of not one, but two prestigious

5
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:52.280
Marconi Awards for his broadcast episodes,
the one and only Bill Cunningham. Hi,

6
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.719
Billy Cunningham, the Great America,
and welcome this New Year's Eve throughout

7
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:59.840
the United States of America. Love
to have you with me, and lots

8
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.159
of festivities going on. My Bengals
went down hard like a cold Budweiser in

9
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.599
a July afternoon at Kansas City.
Taylor Swift, I thought she was yoko

10
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:14.239
Ono for a while to the chiefs, but the Bengals tried like warrior poets,

11
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.480
couldn't get it done without Joe Burrow. A lot of the playoff picture

12
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.640
has been made more clear the last
seven or eight hours. But nonetheless,

13
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.879
it's New Year's Eve, getting ready
for twenty twenty four, So I'm gonna

14
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.760
spend this New Year's Eve with you
live on the Bill Cunningham Show. We

15
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.280
have guests coming up later, including
the great to Wayne Allen Root and Senator

16
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.719
Ran Paul, my favorite senator from
Kentucky, along with some of the reporting

17
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:42.879
on what happened here in my home
state of Ohio a couple days ago.

18
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.200
My friend, and I do mean
my friend. He's been my friend for

19
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.319
thirty thirty five years, not going
to change when he does something wrong.

20
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.680
That's Governor Mike DeWine, who I
met when he was a Green County prosecutor

21
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.560
in Little Cedarville, Ohio, and
I've known him ever since. I like

22
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.400
him a lot. He made a
mistake and he vetoed so called House Bill

23
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.240
sixty eight, pass overwhelmingly in the
Ohio House Ohio Senate, which would say

24
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:15.879
that a child under the age of
eighteen cannot transition to some other gender until

25
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.840
they're eighteen years old. Even if
the parents in the hospital and the doctor

26
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.800
says yes it's medically appropriate, that
can't happen. There's all kinds of things

27
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:31.039
that the government tells adults and parents
what they can and can't do with their

28
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:37.479
children all the time. It's not
unusual, in fact as usual that parents

29
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.879
have wide births to raise their children
as they want to as well as they

30
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.080
can. And let's face it,
we either have the worst crop of parents

31
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.400
ever, but we have a dysfunctional
family structure in this country right now.

32
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:57.680
And fortunately I think things are changing
slightly, I hope. So whenever I

33
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.560
hear this topic, the left says
you're obsessed with transgender rights. No,

34
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.120
the obsession is on the left,
not with normal people like me. Is

35
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.719
it one tenth of one percent or
is it a half of one percent?

36
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.479
Or is it one percent of Americans
consider themselves to be gender dysphoric. Very

37
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.520
small number doesn't mean it's irrelevant,
but it's not like a big issue in

38
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.840
the United States of America. But
if you watch CNN or read major newspapers,

39
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:31.960
it's either race or sex and all
the components of each that drive media

40
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:38.080
coverage of everything. So I guess
things have been too quiet. You can't

41
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:45.080
find examples of enough racism or sexism
to fill up a newspaper Phillip, CNN

42
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:50.000
or MSNBC. So what you do
is come up with new rights, and

43
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.360
that is the rights of a fourteen, fifteen, sixteen year old or the

44
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:59.400
rights of a twenty five year old
male to box a woman. I wouldn't

45
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:05.120
note. Yesterday on Saturday, the
US Olympic Boxing Committee said that men can

46
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:11.039
box women in the Olympics. I
said, are you kidding me? I

47
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.199
don't know. Liberals pushed the idea
of equal rights for women Title nine.

48
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.199
Some conservatives thought, you know,
maybe that's too far talking about the seventies

49
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.120
and eighties because women and men are
equal. But damn it were different.

50
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:30.720
But what happened is is now widely
accepted, widely accepted of equal rights,

51
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.600
equal funding for girls and for women. And the same group the left wing

52
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:42.079
liberals who have said the Rachel Maddow
types of all these discriminations happening against girls

53
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:47.480
and women, now participate in the
group causing the discrimination by saying that a

54
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:53.439
man should be able to play female
sports as long as they identify as such.

55
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.879
I may identify it as an ardvark. That doesn't mean I like to

56
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:01.639
eat ants. Reality exist it or
not, and I am certain I may

57
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:10.040
use the term. A friend of
mine has a boy who began transitioning when

58
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:15.600
he was about thirteen or fourteen to
a girl with address the hormones. I

59
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:21.240
haven't asked about gender mutilation, whatever
you want to call it, and it's

60
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:28.120
a profound mental disorder of gendernice for
you that in your body you think you're

61
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.800
something different. It could be one
of the one hundred and nine different genders

62
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.120
one hundred and nine. And that
doesn't mean I have to play in to

63
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:42.120
your fantasies of what you identify as
such. But right now there are so

64
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:47.399
many LGBTQ plus laws impacting children to
take effect in about two or three hours

65
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.399
of January the first, and I
have a rundown of states, and I'll

66
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:57.079
save you the list, but the
long and extensive, and practically every Blue

67
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.319
state, which is about twenty four
in the country. There's all kinds of

68
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:11.040
brand new gender affirming laws taking place
all over the country. Louisiana join twenty

69
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:18.360
other states with books being banned as
experimental and public libraries that they allow now

70
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:25.480
irreversible so called gender affirming care for
miners, including a puberty blockers, hormonal

71
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:31.160
therapy treatment, sex ray assignment surgery. The band takes effect, the activities

72
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.160
takes effects January the first. Then
I go to some of these other states.

73
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:44.560
California, beginning tomorrow, all stores
that sell children's items must implement a

74
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:49.839
gender neutral section that are neither male
nor female at Target or it colls,

75
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:56.480
whatever it might be. Quote a
retail departmental store that is physically located in

76
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.800
California, that is a total of
five hundred and more employees across all retail

77
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:09.000
departments that sell children care items or
toys must maintain a gender neutral section or

78
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.199
area. That's what's happening. Illinois
is another one of those states. You

79
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:19.560
take the Blue States, and they're
fully on board with vicious discrimination against girls

80
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:29.079
and women, and they're in favor
of parents and hospitals and doctors transitioning to

81
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.879
a different gender. One of the
other one hundred and nine generally a taxpayer

82
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.439
expense. And a little Birdie told
me on Friday when I made calls about

83
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:43.319
this issue, that planned parenthood is
behind the next thrust. Now, when

84
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.319
you talk to those in the field, as I've done repeatedly, it's into

85
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:54.920
chronology, it's psychiatric services, it's
surgical services, it's psychiatric and psychological testing

86
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:00.639
and services. So for one child
to transition to a different gender, the

87
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.959
full boat is hundreds of thousands of
dollars each generally paid for by the federal

88
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:11.040
government. What happens in ten years
if they say you know what, I

89
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.600
made a mistake. I was thinking
with a sixteen year old mind. Therefore,

90
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.480
I'm going to sue the doctors and
hospitals that did this to me.

91
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.199
What percent have buyer's remorse in ten
years, Well, we're not sure yet

92
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.399
because we haven't gotten there with this
new stuff ten years from now. But

93
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.279
the Planned Parenthood has to raised its
hand off to the side, and this

94
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:37.039
is what's coming. Planned Parenthood was
funded by the Biden administration to the tune

95
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.639
of hundreds of millions or billions of
dollars. When requests were made to PPE

96
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.120
and PPP and a whole bunch of
other government COVID related programs, they were

97
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.679
at the first of the door with
their handout, getting your tax dollars.

98
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.159
It's a stay afloat when abortions were
difficult because of COVID. So they now

99
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:03.240
understand that the pharmaceuticals, the drug
allowed by the Biden administration which will cause

100
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.960
a pharmaceutical abortion is used now by
about two thirds of all women. Yes,

101
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.919
women have children who desire an abortion
two thirds. So you don't go

102
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.399
to planned parenthood, you don't go
to a doctor. And with Republicans in

103
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.840
charge of the House, them.
Money's not being handed out so freely anymore.

104
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.480
So Planned Parenthood has a plan,
and that is to have drive through

105
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:33.919
transgender procedures, hormonal therapies and more, because that is where they can make

106
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:39.039
serious money. So Planned Parenthood wants
you get into gender affirming care that includes

107
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:46.799
puberty blockers, hormonal therapy treatment,
and sex reassignment surgery for those under eighteen,

108
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.879
but mainly those over eighteen. You
can be twenty thirty years old and

109
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.720
you want to have puberty blockers,
ormonal therapy treatment and more. Now,

110
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.320
experts will tell you, I hate
the term experts, that you need all

111
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:05.559
kinds of medical professionals around you to
make the right decisions. This isn't something

112
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:11.000
you can just drive through and order
a cheeseburger to go. But Planned Parenthood

113
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.840
sees billions of dollars and puberty blockers, hormonal therapy treatment, and sex assignment

114
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.799
surgeries, and so they want to
get into this business big time because abortions

115
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:28.000
surgically are going out the window.
It has been predicted that within three to

116
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.600
five years there'll be less than ten
percent of all abortions, which is killing

117
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:37.240
the unborn, will be done through
pharmaceutical means and not through surgical means,

118
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.320
so planned parenthood would be out of
business. They've got to get a new

119
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.519
area of money, and that would
be gender affirming care for miners and those

120
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:52.080
and adults nineteen or twenty year olds. Why spend all the money at a

121
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.799
hospital when you can actually, shall
we say, have a drive through treatment,

122
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.559
get a little bit of counseling,
and show up at Plan Aaron Hood

123
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.440
and away you go. And so
we're headed to something you and I could

124
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:11.480
not have imagined a few years ago. Things are quiet and peaceful. I

125
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.279
think women minorities have as much equal
rights as can be given. When bad

126
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:22.399
behavior is identified, it is quickly
smited down with the jawbone of an ass.

127
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:24.960
Well, we look at it.
It's ugly. CNN cares about two

128
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.399
things, which is race and sex
and all the numbers under each. That

129
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.399
that's most of what they do.
Plus Trump. We'll get on Trump in

130
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.799
a minute. And I want to
think I got four calls on hold already.

131
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.840
I'm gonna take a lot of calls
tonight because this is your show,

132
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.600
this is how it began, and
we're going to talk about that later on.

133
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.919
Going back to my days when Sean
Hannity and Sean Compton and Julie Talbert

134
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:58.080
and others said to me, what
I like to broaden myself out and do

135
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.000
the Matt Drudge son and I'd show
about in twenty oh five. We'll talk

136
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:07.720
about that later, but essentially look
forward to this year of complete and utter

137
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:18.000
chaos. Chaos will be everywhere because
they believe that arresting Donald Trump, indicting

138
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:24.000
Donald Trump, seizing his assets,
Donald Trump in prison for the rest of

139
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:30.159
his life, Donald Trump bankrupt,
living in a one room shack and mar

140
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.919
Lago is what they want, encouraged
by Joe Biden, who told the Attorney

141
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.559
General, go get Donald Trump,
and that's exactly what's transpired. All the

142
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:46.720
communications between the Fulton County prosecutor and
the New York City prosecutor and the US

143
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:52.440
Attorney's Office and Smith, etc.
Have all been encouraged by Democratic leaders like

144
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.559
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and
of course Joe Biden when he has a

145
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.200
lucid moment every now and then.
So we're gonna review the year that was

146
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.039
and coming up my hopes, my
predictions for twenty twenty four. But lastly,

147
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.639
on the transgender woman front, coming
up in about an hour and a

148
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:16.159
half will be a state representative.
Genie Schmidt. She spent many years in

149
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.720
the US Congress and now is the
leader of the House, and we're going

150
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.600
to talk about to what House bills
sixty eight in Ohio said his big news

151
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:28.200
on Friday and Saturday yesterday when Dwine
vetoed it, and he said he had

152
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:35.240
spoken to parents of children with great
psychiatric difficulties who were going to kill themselves,

153
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.720
and these parents told Governor Mike DeWine
that essentially his veto will save their

154
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.080
life and they can live. So
is always the Left gives you one hell

155
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:50.440
of a choice, either kill children
or support parents who mutilate their children.

156
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.879
Those are my childs. Do I
have a third door to look at?

157
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.120
Such as gender dysphoria has been there
since the beginning of time and it's going

158
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.279
to be here for the rest of
our life. And if you're over eighteen

159
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.799
and you want to do the whole
deal a planned parenthood, get all your

160
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.919
hormonal blockers and your betas and get
your get all your gender affirming care surgery,

161
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.879
et cetera. And you're twenty three
years old and Key West, have

162
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.519
at it. Do it. It's
on your dime. You live your life.

163
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:24.519
I'm a libertarian conservative. If you're
sixteen years old, the government tells

164
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.320
you as a parent all kinds of
things you can and can't do as a

165
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.960
parent with your own child. One
of them is if your kid needs Thailand

166
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:39.320
all at school or school wants to
your kid falls down, gets hit in

167
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.840
the head with a baseball, and
you need you need surgery or stitches.

168
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:48.679
Parents have got to agree, except
when it comes to genderary assignment surgery.

169
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.960
Because the left and the media only
covers this from one perspective. There's no

170
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.960
fair reporting of the topic. The
mainstream media is a joke, and it's

171
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.559
getting worse almost every day. But
in many ways, I think I have

172
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.320
a wish list for twenty twenty four. I want to I want you to

173
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.279
call in and give me your two
or three things, maybe one thing you

174
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:16.120
want to see happen. Number one
wish list I have is the Southern Border,

175
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.440
and you listen to Ali Bradley of
News Nation and many others report from

176
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.960
there. Of course, the mainstream
media does allows you job reporting on what's

177
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.240
happening because it doesn't fit their agenda. Now that I've had live reports this

178
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.559
year from Lukeville, Arizona and Ego
Pass Texas, and we're the laughing stock

179
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.320
of the entire world right now.
No other nation goes through this. In

180
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:43.679
the Southern Hemisphere, socialist thug Nicholas
the Maduro of Venezuela. He's now threatening

181
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:50.799
to infringe upon neighboring Guyana's territory sovereignty. Everywhere I look, our problems are

182
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:56.759
solvable with the right leadership. They're
insoluble if Joe Biden's incompetence is allowed to

183
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.000
continue. And so Danny boy Gleeson, I want to thank him for the

184
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:06.279
year together as my producer. When
I look back over this year, our

185
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:11.840
problems are caused by the failure of
liberal left wing Democrats. Let's face it,

186
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:18.799
Joe Biden has generally been a moderate
to left democratic senator and also working

187
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.600
with his VP, had his pockets
open to receive millions of dollars all over

188
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:29.840
the world as our vice president got
out alive. Because Eric Holder was the

189
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:37.480
wingman for the Obama Biden team and
wouldn't investigate despite having all these eyes on

190
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.159
the fraud, and had all these
reports of the Department Treasury of the monies

191
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:47.639
flowing into the Biden family. They
ignored it completely. He could have ruled

192
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.120
as a moderate Democrat, he did
not. Now we're in some unmitigated disaster.

193
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.879
So let's continue. Maybe I'll talk
about the ten or fifteen minutes.

194
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.279
And we have called set up right
now from Missouri and Tampa and Idaho,

195
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.759
New Hampshire and more. Two lines
are open eight six six six four seven

196
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:10.440
seven three three seven. Bill Cunningham, the Great American with you every Sunday

197
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:33.799
night. You know. It's the
year twenty oh five, but nineteen years

198
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.240
ago, and I'm at a place
called King's Island, a large amusement park

199
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:45.759
outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, and
I'm on stage with Sean Hannity and Montgomery

200
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.400
Gentry, which was my favorite country
due at the time and one of my

201
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.920
pleasures. Sean Hannah and I became
friends at least since the late nineteen eighties

202
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:59.680
early nineteen nineties, share so much
in common. We text her talk frequently.

203
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.079
And we get up on stage with
Montgomery Gentry in front of about ten

204
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:08.240
thousand mainly of their fans and Hannity
fans, and we sang with them the

205
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:14.640
song my Town. Some of the
lyrics I think included where I was raised,

206
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.519
and I keep all my yesterday's I
ran off because I got mad and

207
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.119
came to blows and my old man. It's where I came back to settle

208
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.400
down. This is where they're going
to put me in the ground. This

209
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.119
is my town. So we come
off stage, and then the handy and

210
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:32.119
I are talking, and next to
him is a guy named Sean Compton,

211
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.839
who at that point was running a
clear channel, and he was on the

212
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:40.200
phone with a guy named Matt Drudge, who I'd never ad met, but

213
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:45.359
somewhat reclusive, a collecting guy,
ran the Drudge Report. And I hear

214
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.480
this conversation. You sure you want
to do this? Are you sure?

215
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:56.400
So Sean Compton hangs up, and
I'm standing there with Eddie Montgomery and with

216
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:02.799
Sean Hannity and me, and and
Compton says, you can't believe this.

217
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.160
Matt Drudge says he's done doing Sunday
Nights, don't want to do it anymore.

218
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:12.079
And so really, because me the
great American, I listen to that

219
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:18.359
guy all the time. Drudge Report
was on my computer. I think the

220
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.559
last few years has lost its way. But I'll continue with the story.

221
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.279
Let's continue. I will take calls. I want to hear from you the

222
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.960
American people at eight sixty six six
four seven seven three three seven. Bill

223
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:57.759
cunning and the Great American with you
every Sunday night. There's a full sale

224
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:03.880
sign on the bigel. The tractor
headed Danny boy, I'd love It's Montgomery

225
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:11.839
Gentry if you went to see Unfortunate
Death of Troy and twenty head at Montgomery.

226
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:21.720
I love Jenny paint In Fried Grin. He's my wheelder by the courthouse

227
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:27.000
singing I love this and the flying
and the sun goes down, singing this

228
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:45.319
is spot text. Yes, my
tail, hey raised yesterday went off because

229
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.960
I got mad and it came of
God. Man came back, set it

230
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:57.279
down, slay that me in the
ground. This is my great job,

231
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:06.359
Danny boy. Can you see Eddie
Montgomery, Troy Gentry, Sean Hannity and

232
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.519
Bill Cunningham on stage at King's Island
in twenty oh five, And that's the

233
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.920
reason I'm sitting here now? Now, how's that possible? Well? I

234
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:21.160
love these guys and handed he had
the connection. He was doing tours at

235
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:26.599
that point and Eddie said to me, hey, can you sing? And

236
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.480
I said, you know, I
don't sing badly, so let's do it.

237
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.559
Go out there in front of ten
thousand people. I hit a couple

238
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:37.559
of lines, come off the stage. Phone rings. It's Matt Drudge calling

239
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.240
Sean Compton saying, you know what, I'm done doing Sunday Nights. And

240
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.240
at that point they're looking at each
other and handed. He's not really directly

241
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.880
involved at all because he's doing his
own thing on Fox and Radio. And

242
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:55.200
I'm proud to be on Fox Radio, especially in Southwest Florida. Fox Radio

243
00:21:55.240 --> 00:22:00.359
and Florida has been great a lot
of listeners. But nonetheless, so Seaon

244
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:02.839
says, well, who are we
going to get to do Sunday Night,

245
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.599
which was, by the way,
two nights away. Handed, he says,

246
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.480
we'll get Willie. And he looked
at me and he said, can

247
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.720
you do Sunday Nights? I said, well, at this point, I've

248
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.000
done radio for like twenty three years, and my life is real busy.

249
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:25.400
At that point, I was actively
trying cases, probably one a month criminal

250
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:30.759
defense attorney. I gone through my
phase as an assistant Attorney General. And

251
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:34.839
at that point also I owned restaurants
Willie's Sports Cafe, and I said,

252
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:40.119
well, I'm not doing anything else
Sunday night at ten o'clock. Most Sunday

253
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.680
nights. At ten o'clock, I'm
staring at the back of my eyelids.

254
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.359
But I said, let's do it. I'll try it. So at that

255
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.559
point he said, let's try it
for a few months to see how it

256
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.400
goes well. At this point,
it's been about nineteen years and still here.

257
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:57.960
And it's because of you, because
you listen, because you buy the

258
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:03.359
products that are averaging, because you
hear things either information or humor, that

259
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.920
you may not hear other places.
And on a Sunday night, there's not

260
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.720
a lot going on. Things are
quiet right now. There's tens of thousands

261
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:17.400
of truckers listening. There's many many
messengers that are driving thither and fro,

262
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:22.200
whether it's with Amazon or ups that
are working on Sunday nights. And there's

263
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.359
many Americans that are in condos of
villas in and around Naples, Florida,

264
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.599
in and around and Sino in Las
Vegas on the far rech reaches of the

265
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.720
UP that are actually paying attention.
And so over the last eighteen years,

266
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:42.480
this show has grown in listenership and
sponsorship, maybe by default because not much

267
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:48.240
is going on Sunday night, but
mainly because of Eddie Montgomery and God rest

268
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:55.839
his soul, Troy Gentry, the
song My Town, Sean Hannity, Jillie

269
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:03.400
Talbert, a little bit of Me
and Sean and started, and I think

270
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:06.559
it's got some more gas left in
the tank. But thank you now,

271
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:12.000
lastly, full lines. I promised
it to the calls. Lastly, jump

272
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:21.359
ahead with me to uh November sixth
of next year, and Donald Trump is

273
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:26.920
the president elect. That he made
it through the hurdles and the briar patches

274
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:32.880
and the indictments and the lawsuits and
the media coverage, and he's the president

275
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:37.839
elect. I ask you this question, are things going to be quiet and

276
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:44.519
calm and under control with the Democratic
Party and our media if Trump is re

277
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:52.079
elected? The answer is not just
no, hell no, It's going to

278
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.039
be one the wildest four years in
American history. And yes, I get

279
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.720
it. If the Democrats control the
House, they're gonna immediately impeach him.

280
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:04.079
God knows the reason. They impeached
him for nothing the last time. They'll

281
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.319
do it again. In fact,
they impeached him the last time after he

282
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.440
wasn't even in office anymore, he'd
left, and they still impeached him.

283
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:18.680
So they will sue him. Prosecutors
in Fulton County, prosecutors in Chicago,

284
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.559
prosecutors in New York. Maybe Los
Angeles are gonna indict him and sue him

285
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:27.400
and make his life miserable. They're
gonna haul his family back into court for

286
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:32.839
hundreds of depositions. It'll never stop. If Donald Trump can put up with

287
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:37.960
that, you and I should compliment
him on his strength and courage, and

288
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:44.440
let's go. Now. Let's say
it's gonna be chaos, and America will

289
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:48.640
be at peace. The southern border
will be locked down, There'll be no

290
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:56.240
more grossed by bi nomics of wasteful
spending and corrupt subsidies for evs and special

291
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.480
interest regulations and job killing taxes.
All that will be gone. But the

292
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:04.079
media will be apoplectic. There will
be nuts, and they will not stop.

293
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:07.720
They won't say, you know what, let's give this guy a chance.

294
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:11.519
It didn't happen in twenty sixteen,
for God's sake, it won't happen

295
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:17.000
in twenty twenty four. Now that's
what's gonna happen. It's gonna be ugly,

296
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:19.839
but it's going to be good.
On the other hand, he imagine

297
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:25.440
it is now the day after the
election is November sixth, and the Democratic

298
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.480
candidate will not be Joe Biden.
At some point, they've thrown everything at

299
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.920
the Trumpster and has not worked.
So the Democrats will come up with someone

300
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:40.720
who can beat Donald Trump, and
the likely person is going to be Michelle

301
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:45.799
Obama or Gavin Newsom. Then away
we go. And if that person,

302
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:53.119
if Gavin Newsom or Michelle Obama or
god forbid, Kamala Harris is our president

303
00:26:53.200 --> 00:27:00.680
for four years, imagine America in
those four years now with Trump in office,

304
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:08.079
We'll have less taxes, less corrupt
subsidies, less inflation, less military

305
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:12.880
involvement and strikes. More American soldiers
will live, there will be less job

306
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.319
killing taxes, and less wasteful spending. Along You and I are going to

307
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.680
have to put up with what the
media and the Democrats will do again to

308
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:27.240
Donald Trump. On the other hand, imagine the policies that created the Southern

309
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:37.400
border invasion crisis collapse continuing from today's
state at least five more years. Imagine

310
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.799
what's happening in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. Those policies are going

311
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:49.279
to continue for the four years of
the Democratic interchangeable drill bit that took over

312
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:56.319
the presidency. Can we survive with
that until twenty twenty nine? The answer

313
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.920
is no. The country we cannot
take on another fifty to one hundred million

314
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:08.160
itinerant refugees deciding themselves to come to
America and break our laws. The hospitals

315
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:12.960
can't stand it, the schools cannot
stand it, the homeless shelters cannot stand

316
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:18.240
it, the criminal activity cannot stand
it. And so your choice is gonna

317
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:25.400
be either way, complete and utter
chaos. With Trump reelected, that chaos

318
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:30.119
will be well known and it will
be personal that Donald Trump and Eric Trump

319
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:34.200
and Donald Trump Junior, Kemerily Guilfoyle
and his family, and they're gonna try

320
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:37.839
to bankrupt the guy, and they're
gonna try to lock him up for the

321
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.720
rest of his life. They're gonna
issue indictments against him to be held until

322
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.920
twenty twenty nine followay. By that
point, the guy is going to be

323
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.799
like eighty five years old, so
they'll never stop because he was so successful.

324
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:53.240
They have to destroy him. And
so that's one approach, but the

325
00:28:53.359 --> 00:29:00.920
other approach will destroy the country.
We cannot survive from this date five more

326
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:04.599
years of the Bidenomics, which is
over the last three years, twenty percent

327
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:11.400
of inflation, confiscatory Texas, blue
cities and blue states being emptied. Look

328
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.319
what's happening in Oakland. They've lost
fifty percent of their population on their way

329
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:21.119
down to seventy percent. The little
city of Cincinnati has lost forty percent of

330
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:26.079
its population. And we're doing so
much better than the larger cities and the

331
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.480
red states, and the red cities
are filling up, whether it's New Mexico,

332
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.079
Utah, Nevada, Texas, Florida, the Carolinas, Mississippi, Alabama,

333
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.640
Nashville. Tonight's got the big party
going on. I'm looking it's pretty

334
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:44.359
good stuff. And so we have
a choice, not of chaos. That's

335
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.359
going to be a given. It
used to be that when the president was

336
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:51.920
elected, even when we disagreed with
there was like a one or two year

337
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:59.079
honeymoon period. With Donald Trump's election, the FBI, the DOJ at the

338
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:04.160
top Washington leadership said this guy sink
the Bismarck. And they began the investigation

339
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.720
of Donald Trump before he even took
the oath of office. And thirty six

340
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.759
Democrats refused to go to the inaugural. They'd give him no chance. Zero

341
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:18.960
zilch Nada continued fraudulent investigations for which
hardly anyone has paid a dime for.

342
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:23.759
And then when the indictment shall shall
I say the impeachment it was not successful

343
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:27.359
because they didn't have the evidence and
it collapsed in the lies, they simply

344
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:32.200
move on to the next thing they
never acknowledged. Love means never having to

345
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:36.640
say you're sorry. You'll never hear
that from a Democrat Liberal never zero And

346
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.359
so believe the Great American, whoever
is elected on November fifth, twenty twenty

347
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:48.799
four, will be complete utter chaos
with Trump election. That chaos will be

348
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:53.640
on him and his family. Plus
he needs to hire three thousand leaders to

349
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:57.920
take over a cabinet, officials,
et cetera. Which reasonable person wants to

350
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:02.160
go serve with the Donald Trump,
which should be I'd be honored to do

351
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:07.240
so, but I would have to
know that Democratic prosecutors are going to indict

352
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.880
you, subpoenaing you, and make
your life miserable. Because of that association

353
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:18.119
with the Donald. You'll have a
difficult time getting quality three thousand people to

354
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.039
fill up the seats. Plus he's
a bear to work for, so most

355
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:25.039
people aren't going to do it,
the jobs will be hard to be filled.

356
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:29.200
That's fine. We have many of
us have competent state government, and

357
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:32.759
so as a consequence, life goes
on. So on one hand, you

358
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:38.400
got Donald Trump, chaos, indictments, more lawsuit sliming by the mainstream media

359
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:44.240
on any issue, and complete chaos. Now, on the other hand,

360
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.000
looking over to my far left,
if a Democrat is elected, you're going

361
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:57.839
to have wasteful spending, government mandates, corrupt subsidies, runaway inflation, American

362
00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:02.240
military used all of the world,
often for monetary purposes, job killing,

363
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:07.079
taxes, and more. So,
what do you prefer Trump and his family

364
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:13.319
to go through hell and the country
succeed, or for the country to go

365
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:19.480
through hell and Trump to face ninety
one counts of a federal indictment. I

366
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:23.240
care about America. I want this
country to be a better place than my

367
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:29.480
parents my mother gave to me.
So that's the choice. And the media

368
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:32.680
knows everything they've thrown at this guy's
not work. So far. Every indictment

369
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:37.759
has caused them to become more popular
because we know what they're doing. Every

370
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:44.279
lawsuit makes them more popular because we
know what they're doing. Only Democrats are

371
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:50.319
charging him. No reasonable Republican would
bring these charges because they're wrong. So

372
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:57.240
looking forward, I'm optimistic that in
twenty twenty four, November, the fifth,

373
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:02.880
say, Tuesday after the first Monday
in November, we're gonna reelect Donald

374
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.519
Trump, and all hell's gonna break
loose by the media. But the country's

375
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:12.759
going to be better off. If
the Democrat is elected, all hell's going

376
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.839
to break loose, and the country
will not be better off, It'll be

377
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.160
worse. So let's continue. I
promise to shut up. When we continue.

378
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:25.000
My first call will be Mark from
Missouri, and then Eddie and Paul

379
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:31.279
and Dave and Joe and thousands of
others. Cleveland Browns are in the playoffs.

380
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:35.920
That's the son of the Apocalypse.
One of my great stations is TM

381
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:37.640
and Cleveland. Thank you. Of
course, we have great We have three

382
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:43.079
hundred and twenty five great stations around
this country and about one million listeners.

383
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:45.839
Happy New Year, Bill Cunningham,
your calls are next. Happy New Year,

384
00:33:45.880 --> 00:34:00.000
Bill Cunningham, the Great American with
you every Sunday night. Would you

385
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.519
want your town run like Oakland or
Portland or Chicago or New York? Is

386
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:10.280
that what you want? Policies have
caused that and policy changes can stop it.

387
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:13.719
Let's go to the calls, as
I promised. First of all,

388
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:17.719
we have Mark and Missouri. Mark
and Missouri, welcome to the Bill Cunningham

389
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.599
Show. Happy New Year's Eve to
you, Mark, Same to you,

390
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.679
Bill. And there was a good
story about how you started on the radio

391
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:28.639
here on the national level, and
we all appreciate to you being there for

392
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.280
nineteen years. And I appreciate you
let me on so much. It's a

393
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:36.880
great show, and you expose what
the danger of this country is and probably

394
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:40.360
better than anyone, so millions appreciate
you. Well, Marco. First of

395
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:45.599
all, what about your Kansas City
Chiefs beating up on my Bengals this evening?

396
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:47.719
What about that? What about Taylor
Smith? Let's how she was like,

397
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:52.079
you'll go own up. What happens? You got to get team with

398
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:55.679
that backup quarterbacks? Pretty darn good. And course Burrow will be back next

399
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:59.719
year, so I think they got
a bright future. Well, I mean,

400
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.840
Taylor Swift became like the Yoko Ono
of the Chiefs and suddenly they win.

401
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.920
But nonetheless, please, you got
about two minutes. Go ahead,

402
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:12.639
okay, real quick, I comment
on your governor vetoing that bill that's a

403
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.280
total lie that kids commits suicide at
higher he felt for a lie or I

404
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:20.519
don't know what he was doing,
but a Heritage's Foundation study debunks that.

405
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:23.239
And just think a child is going
to kill themselves unless they can mutilate and

406
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.360
direct themselves. And the false hope
that they can change sex. It's impossible

407
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.440
to change sex anyway. Just so
many lies with his transgender madness, and

408
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:35.360
it's just another Democrat attempt to bring
down the country. But my main point

409
00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:37.800
was on this border. The Republicans
you talked about wishes for the new year,

410
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:43.800
they have to get tough. They're
talking about legislation related to the Ukraine

411
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:47.559
funding. That's crazy. Biden doesn't
follow legislation. He's broken so many laws

412
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:51.880
anyway. He should be impeached for
the border. It's the greatest crime,

413
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.639
maybe of any president in the history
of the pre world. How he's overrun

414
00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:59.039
our country with millions and President Trump
just pointed out that, you know,

415
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:01.840
it's all about the vote. They're
signing up millions of illegals to vote,

416
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:05.840
and of course they'll vote Democrat because
they get their phones and their welfare and

417
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:08.199
their houses, just like they did
the African Americans with the great society.

418
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:13.519
It's over again that the Democrat Party
hates the country, as Mark Levin says,

419
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:16.440
and they're trying to destroy it so
they can rebuild it. Obama's behind

420
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:22.440
it. He promised to transform America
and that's what he's doing. Soros China,

421
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:27.039
it's a chemical attack in America with
the fentanyl. It's we are greatly

422
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:30.239
under attacking. The Republicans. They
do have a slim majority. They've got

423
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:35.800
to use their financial strength. They
have the power of the purse. They

424
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.079
have to shut down the border or
shut down the government. They got to

425
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:42.880
get grave. It's very unlikely at
this point that they'll have the courage,

426
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.320
but they have to. Our country
is on the line. It's more than

427
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:50.159
politics, but good policy is good
politics. They've got they're going to the

428
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.440
border. That's good. They got
to expose what's going on. But they

429
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:58.159
have to take action and they got
to get tough. Just passing legislation by

430
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:00.480
ignores that he doesn't follow the law
in any So, if we're going to

431
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.559
save this country, we have the
Republicans. They've got to do it right

432
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:06.920
now. You talk about twenty four, we might not make it to the

433
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.840
twenty twenty four election runner country.
I mean, that's a little hyperbole,

434
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:15.039
but if we keep it living in
twelve thousand a day, that's just that's

435
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:20.079
not survivable. And the Democrats are
doing it. The media doesn't report it.

436
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:22.760
It's really just a dire situation.
Well, lastly, I would say

437
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.079
this mark great call. I'm glad
you're a listener and a caller. David

438
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:31.920
Axelrod, who's forgotten more about democratic
politics than anyone knows, warns warns that

439
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:37.079
if Trump is prevented from running,
it will destroy and tear the country in

440
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.679
half. If there's eighty million people
that want to vote for Trump and the

441
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:45.280
Democrats say we're going to indict him, imprison him, sue him into oblivion,

442
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:51.360
and don't let that opponent run,
David Axelrod says that will destroy the

443
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.840
country. How about you and me
paying attention to David Axelrod and saying,

444
00:37:54.920 --> 00:38:00.599
you know what, this must stop. David Axelrod dands with normal Americans and

445
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:06.719
saying Democrats cannot be permitted to do
this to Donald Trump more importantly, to

446
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.880
us, let us freely vote in
a democracy. I thought Democrats cared about

447
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:15.199
democracy. Maybe not. Maybe they
care more about winning and getting control of

448
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:21.280
the nation's checkbook. Bill Cunningham with
you another great Americans. Every Sunday night,

449
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:52.440
Willie brough you by Choice Hotels,
Econo Lodge and Roadway In Hotels are

450
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:55.760
serving up double points for every qualifying
stay book at Choice Hotels dot com.

451
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:01.599
Now here's the man who's been recognized
as best the recipient of not one,

452
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:07.840
but two prestigious Marconi Awards, for
he is broadcast exodence, the one and

453
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.559
only the old cunning Head. All
right, let's continue. In about a

454
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:15.400
half an hour or so, State
Representative Genie Schmidt will be here to respond

455
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:20.920
to the veto of Governor Mike DeWine
to the so called transgender bill. Also

456
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:24.960
later on is Wayne Allen route from
Las Vegas. Quite midnight there getting close

457
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.760
here in the Eastern time zone.
Also later on is my favorite senator from

458
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:32.159
Kentucky. Of course, that's read
of the low bar, Senator Ran Paul.

459
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.880
Lastly, before I continue with calls. Lastly, I'm watching CNN and

460
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:42.679
by the way, their coverage New
Year's Eve is embarrassing. It's awful.

461
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:47.360
Nonetheless, David Axelrod is the guru, is kind of the car Will Rove

462
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:54.320
of the Democratic Party, Big Times
Chicago liberal got Obama elected, fashioned the

463
00:39:54.440 --> 00:40:02.039
narrative the media swallowed about him,
hook Line and Sinker and David Axelrod yesterday

464
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:07.599
morning was on with CNN and warned
that what would happen in America if Trump

465
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:14.960
was prevented from running by secretaries of
states and Colorado Supreme courts, et cetera.

466
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:20.079
And he said, quote Trump,
he wanted to set up a construct

467
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:25.000
which says they're coming for me because
he's running for president and they are trying

468
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:29.840
to prevent him from becoming president.
We've run this experiment, he said,

469
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:34.360
He's only gained since it started,
getting indicted. You thought what we thought,

470
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:39.800
what we thought we was kryptonite turned
out to be battery packs. And

471
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:45.119
this is a big one. He
said. It would be dangerous for democracy

472
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:49.400
for Trump to be kept off the
ballot. Quote I do think it would

473
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.760
rip the country apart if you were
actually prevented from running, because tens of

474
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:57.760
millions want to vote for him.
I think you're going to beat Donald Trump,

475
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:04.559
beat him with ideas the polls.
This comes after Shena Bellows, the

476
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:07.639
main secretary of State, about three
or four days ago, ruled that she

477
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:12.880
sat as the Chief Justice of the
US Supreme Court and kept him off the

478
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:16.599
main ballot, which is anti democratic, and the CNN who spent his time

479
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:22.199
as a threat to democracy. Whatever
the liberals say is a threat. Whatever

480
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:28.320
they want to scourge the opponents with
is what they're doing. So when I'm

481
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:35.480
told that too many of us are
transphobic because of transgender rights issues, they're

482
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:39.519
the ones that are transphobic. They're
the ones who are obsessed with transgender issues.

483
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:45.400
When CNN talks about a threat to
democracy, their coverage is a threat

484
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:51.639
to democracy. Joe Biden, what
he's doing on the southern border in major

485
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:54.559
cities, giving aid and comfort to
the enemy, that is a threat to

486
00:41:54.639 --> 00:42:00.320
democracy. The way to resolve this
is let us vote fairly, to have

487
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:07.079
legal votes count. That's something that
Democratic party does not want. We will

488
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:15.199
have chaos the next ten months,
and the closer Trump gets to the presidency,

489
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:21.840
the more the ridiculous behavior of the
mainstream media will occur. It's Joe

490
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:25.280
Scarborough and Mieka in the morning,
CNN, MSNBC. They're going to bleed

491
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:30.000
from their eyeballs if it gets to
the middle of October and Trump is not

492
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:34.280
in prison yet and he's going to
win the presidency, they will go frigging

493
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:37.480
nuts. But on the other hand, they're going to say, you know

494
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:39.840
what, the next four years is
going to be pretty good for media.

495
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:45.800
It'll be horrible, horrible for liberalism, but it's going to be great for

496
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:49.840
the country because with Trump and the
White House, we will have total,

497
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:58.199
absolute chaos and the country will be
better off with the interchangeable drill bit in

498
00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:02.679
the White House as a Democrat.
The policies on the southern border with fentanyl,

499
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:08.199
in the Ukraine, in Korea,
in Southeast Asia, Russia, China,

500
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:15.400
policies will continue, and I can
imagine fifty million more, one hundred

501
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:20.079
million more. Polling indicates a billion
more want to come to the country,

502
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:28.159
and all Joe Biden slash Kamala Harris
slash just pick one, Printzer Kevin Newsom,

503
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:32.840
just pick one. They want to
have the country look like Chicago,

504
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:38.639
Los Angeles, Portland or Seattle.
Is that what you want? You want

505
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:43.079
the country to look like Atlanta or
New York City, then vote for the

506
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:49.440
Democrat. So we're going to have
chaos after the election in November, and

507
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:53.920
the country either either will be better
off or worse off. And the answer

508
00:43:54.119 --> 00:44:00.920
is Democrat worse off? Trump better
off, but he better prepare him and

509
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:05.280
his family and as lawyers and associates
to go through a living hell. They

510
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:10.360
will do anything to stop him from
getting control of the nation's military and the

511
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:15.559
nation's checkbook, because that's where their
power comes from. The checkbook. They

512
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:20.599
want to be able to write the
checks and raise the taxes and favor their

513
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:24.920
friends and hurt their enemies and indict
their political opponents. And the reason that

514
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:31.599
Trumpster is up here and Biden is
down there is because average Americans are figuring

515
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:37.480
out what liberal Democrats have done to
them for decades and years. In fact,

516
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:42.440
the Black Lives Matter leader in Delaware
said he's voting for Donald Trump.

517
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:46.480
He can't take the lies of Biden
and the promises anymore of liberal Democrats.

518
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:51.880
Let's go to the calls as I
promised. Coming up later as a representative

519
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:57.039
Jeanie Schmidt and also win Alan Root
and also Senator Ran Paul and Day from

520
00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.280
rock Hill, South Carolina, DA. Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show,

521
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:06.679
and Dave, Happy New Year and
give me a full report. Hey am

522
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:10.400
I talking to Bill? You're talking
to Bill right now? Hey? Okay,

523
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:14.039
great deal? At least I got
a signal. Hey, I'll just

524
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:16.480
listen to you every chance I ever
get. And you're the greatest. You

525
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:22.079
are the great America. God bless
you, God bless you. What Give

526
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:25.159
me one thing you want to happen
next year? Give me twenty twenty four,

527
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:30.880
Give me one hope of prediction.
I'm going for Donald Trump. I

528
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:35.400
think he's gonna get it. You
know, if that happens, they'll be

529
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.039
chaos. You know, the country
is gonna be better off. We're gonna

530
00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:42.920
have chaos. I'd rather have chaos
in a better country than chaos in a

531
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:46.119
worst country. Let's continue now from
Cleveland. Is that the AC is that

532
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:51.559
correct? AC in Cleveland, the
home of the Browns who now are in

533
00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:53.320
the playoffs, and the Bengals are
not. Give me a full report.

534
00:45:55.079 --> 00:46:00.719
Well we're talking. I want to
talk about the transgender There's a scripture in

535
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:07.400
the Bible that says a house divided
cannot stand. Lincoln quoted the scripture concerning

536
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:13.599
the country, but it also applies
to individual people. And somebody that wants

537
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:19.280
to change their gender is divided within
themselves. And they got problems. Issues,

538
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:22.599
got issues. We all have issues. You got issues. I got

539
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:25.280
issues. And if somebody thinks,
if they look at themselves in the shower

540
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:30.400
and they look down south and see
male equipment, and if they perceive that

541
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:36.599
to be female or vice versa,
they got issues. It's called gender dysphoria.

542
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:43.000
Does in our society, TikTok and
the culture encourage a young person who's

543
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:47.119
confused to transition to some other gender, because that's what the left does,

544
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:52.199
dividing the house against itself and taking
away all kinds of rights and responsibilities.

545
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:58.320
So the fact of the matter is
if you if I think tonight or tomorrow

546
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:00.840
that the Great American is a female, I might want to go, say

547
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:05.519
a psychiatrist. I might want to
get some psychological help. One thing I

548
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:08.320
will not do is have something cut
off and say I'm a woman. Done

549
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:15.159
work that way. Well, a
lot of this people that want to do

550
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:20.199
this, and a lot of it's
happening with teenagers. And what's happening is

551
00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:27.159
you have a lot of teenagers that
are vaping marijuana, and the chemicals in

552
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:34.320
marijuana cause a change, can cause
a change in sexual and or gender orientation.

553
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:42.119
Absolutely, And I'm telling you these
I have a neighbor who has had

554
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:49.599
he graduated but the resource officer told
the parent that just about all the students

555
00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:52.719
are doing vaping, just about all
of them in a public high school,

556
00:47:54.239 --> 00:48:01.599
and the results are tragic. Well, you know, it sounds to me

557
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:06.480
like you lived a long time.
I've never seen the country in this shape.

558
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:10.559
I saw a poll yesterday that said
seven percent of Americans think we have

559
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:15.880
good political leadership. I'm shocked.
No, it's seven percent. I'm looking

560
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:22.199
around thinking, and the system does
not encourage good men and women to run.

561
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.559
It says, don't do it.
And the political class, the Nancy

562
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:31.280
Pelosi's, the Chuck Schumers, the
Mitch McConnell's take over, and good people

563
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:36.159
don't want to run. I'm shocked
that Donald Trump wanted to do this in

564
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:39.559
twenty sixteen. I'm dan glad he
did. Imagine the country if Hillary Clinton

565
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:45.480
had won for eight years and then
Kamala Harris. I mean, we're done,

566
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:49.280
and so I just pray to God
that enough of us figure it out

567
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:52.960
ac before it's too late. And
it's getting late because the southern border is

568
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:57.800
wide open. Suicides at an all
time high. Fatne one hundred and twenty

569
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:01.199
five thousand killed every year. We
have one thousand Americans killed on city streets.

570
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:07.360
We have a bunch of deficit of
thirty four trillion dollars added two trillion

571
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:10.039
dollars every year. We have the
US military fighting all over the world,

572
00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:15.679
with seven hundred and fifty military bases
and one hundred different nations ready to fight

573
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:19.320
anybody at a moment's notice. We're
in a shooting gallery right now in Iraq.

574
00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:22.880
Everywhere I look, I see,
Oh my god, it's a disaster

575
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:28.239
here. The college's universities are indoctrination
centers. They're not educational centers. They

576
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:32.239
indoctrinate the next leaders. Everywhere I
look, it's not but chaos. And

577
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:37.039
if we don't stop at some point
and say, okay, the opposition to

578
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:44.079
Donald Trump one to imprison him for
life and bankrupt them by any means necessary.

579
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:46.760
And they're on the way to doing
it. And even David ox Arad

580
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:52.239
has figured out this cannot happen.
This would ruin the country. If the

581
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:58.199
Democratic Party imprisons the leader of the
opposition about to assume the presidency, and

582
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:01.480
right now the country's in sham,
it can't be any worse. And the

583
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:06.320
media wants the same policies to continue. And thank you for your call.

584
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:10.039
It's take a short break. We
have thousands on hold eight six six six

585
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:15.480
four seven seven three three seven.
I don't want to be pessimistic. I

586
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:22.639
want to be realistic. Imagine five
more years of the policies we've had for

587
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:29.079
the past three What would the country
look like with fifty million more economic refugees

588
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:34.719
coming here, incapable of working,
not fitting in our society. Imagine just

589
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:39.760
that aspect of the Biden policy,
What America looks like? Eleven nineteen am.

590
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:45.159
I'm sorry, eleven nineteen PM.
Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday night.

591
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:06.280
Hi, Billy Cunningham. Ryan Seacrest
is a media mogul, great radio

592
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:10.880
personality and more. A few minutes
ago, Times Square, I believe it

593
00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:17.239
is Time Square flipped up quickly.
He had a forty second interview with the

594
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:22.000
President of the United States, broadcast
all over the world. This is a

595
00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:25.159
leader so called of the free world. This is Joe Biden in his own

596
00:51:25.320 --> 00:51:30.360
words. Does this make sense to
you? Danny Gleason hit it. As

597
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:35.840
you look back and reflect on twenty
twenty three, what sort of of memories

598
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:38.639
highlights stand out for you? Well, one of the big highlights stands out

599
00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:42.639
for me is my dad used to
have an expression, you say, Joey,

600
00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:45.320
a job's about a lot more than
the paycheck. I've got your dignity,

601
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:49.760
it's about respect. So many people
through the Midwest and the center of

602
00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:53.840
the country, their factors are shipped
overseas the last couple of times out and

603
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:58.119
then they're losing hope and faith.
So we brought a lot of jobs back

604
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:00.840
to the United States. People are
in position to be able to make a

605
00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:06.639
living now and they've created a lot
of jobs, over fourteen million. And

606
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:10.280
I guess when I'm I just feel
good that the American people got up.

607
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:14.280
They've been through a rough time with
pandemic, but now we're coming back.

608
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:16.880
They're back. They're back. Well, we're not back. In fact,

609
00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:22.320
your policies have about a thirty six
percent approval factor, which means sixty four

610
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:25.960
percent of us do not approve of
what you're doing. We figured it out.

611
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:31.679
Let's continue with the calls and we
can take the road already taken.

612
00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:37.039
Are you better off today than you
were four years ago? Huh? I

613
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:43.320
don't think so much worse policies,
cause this policies can correct it. Let's

614
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:50.440
continue now with Eddie and Tampa and
Eddie and Tampa, welcome again to the

615
00:52:50.519 --> 00:52:53.599
Bill Cunningham Show. Eddie, how
are you good? Bill? Thank you

616
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:57.079
very much. Happy New Year.
Well, let me go from west coast

617
00:52:57.519 --> 00:53:00.199
to the east coast quickly. Here. Legos are going to be getting free

618
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:07.239
healthcare in California. They're bringing in
diseases in Mexico and into the classrooms.

619
00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:14.320
Dallas has three hundred and eighty finance
jobs, more than Chicago and LA.

620
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:20.760
The occupancy rate in New York is
seventeen percent. And before you talk,

621
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:25.639
the two sports teams in DC are
leaving. You know, when you have

622
00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:32.440
Representative Quagar and an FBI agent being
carjack, that's pretty good reason to move

623
00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:38.159
to Virginia. Do the policies work? No, I just corrected the president,

624
00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:43.119
so he's lying through a seat,
and shame on ABC and Ryan Secret

625
00:53:43.239 --> 00:53:46.639
to put him on. You know
how Johnny Carson never had politicians, No,

626
00:53:46.920 --> 00:53:52.000
try not to. He put him
on. And Johnny Carson's idea was,

627
00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:55.519
look, America wants to come at
night to listen to entertainment, some

628
00:53:55.719 --> 00:53:59.920
fun, a little bit of politics, but not much. And in fact,

629
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:02.679
you couldn't tell if Johnny Carson was
a Democrat or Republican. Well,

630
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:07.280
when you added up, add up
on the southern border, Eddy, the

631
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:12.360
policy failures of Joe Biden resulted in
what on the southern border. We have

632
00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:15.440
one hundred and twenty five thousand Americans
dead every year from fentanyl. We have

633
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:23.159
approximately fifteen million illegals not being tested, not knowing who they are, flooding

634
00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:29.559
the country thither and fro. We
have a massive breakout of diseases along the

635
00:54:29.639 --> 00:54:34.760
southern border. We have a school
system along the southern border, and in

636
00:54:34.840 --> 00:54:37.519
fact, in Chicago, New York
that doesn't function at all. It's a

637
00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:43.119
daycare service in New York City public
schools. In fact, they had an

638
00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:47.159
additional one hundred thousand illegal children show
up to be educated on the first day

639
00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:50.440
of school, one hundred thousand.
Now, what do you do with one

640
00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:54.159
hundred thousand more bodies that are maybe
twelve years old, that don't understand English

641
00:54:54.199 --> 00:55:00.440
and read fourth at the four year
old level the system of public education as

642
00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:04.079
Yeah, they can kind of for
the census numbers and then though that way

643
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:06.280
they'll get more money from the federal
coverment. That's right. Yeah, So

644
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:10.559
and so where are the where's bidernomics
working? Well? The American military.

645
00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:14.880
When Trump left office, he didn't
start any wars. He ended him.

646
00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:19.639
And in fact, no American soldier
died in a rocker Afghanistan during those four

647
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:22.360
years, because he told the leaders
of the Taliban what he would do if

648
00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:27.320
it occurred. Right now, American
soldiers are in a shooting gallery because Joe

649
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:31.639
Biden has no clue what's happening.
The staff around him runs the executive branch

650
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:36.440
of government that make the federal court
appointments, They do everything. And so

651
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:39.840
Joe Biden still is in Saint Croix
tonight. He's coming back, I think

652
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:45.639
on the second. And can you
imagine if Donald Trump had been gone this

653
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:49.719
long on vacation fifty percent of the
time in where Lago, what would the

654
00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:52.719
media do with that? Yeah,
it'd be a good tax. And if

655
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:58.039
you would have said no to those
fourteen dollars stimulus checks, well, whatever

656
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:01.360
it is, you know, Eddie, I'd rather have chaos after November with

657
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:07.920
Trump and the White House, then
chaos for the country where the Democratic policies

658
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:12.000
continuing. I think that's the best
argument. There's going to be chaos because

659
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.559
the Democrats are condriving their power to
lock him up for the rest of his

660
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:21.760
life and to bankrupt him. Before
November. They're rushing Jack Smith and others

661
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:24.480
are rushing to get him tried in
front of a DC jury, to get

662
00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:30.119
him convicted so that maybe twenty percent
less will vote for him, to make

663
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:36.400
sure that Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom
or Michelle Obama or not Joe Biden becomes

664
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:38.480
the next president. They want the
checkbook, and they want to write the

665
00:56:38.599 --> 00:56:43.400
checks for four more years and appoint
the federal judges. And Eddiot's up to

666
00:56:43.519 --> 00:56:45.960
us as Americans to say none on
my watch, and more and more of

667
00:56:46.039 --> 00:56:51.280
us have figured out what's going on. That's why his approval ratings for Biden

668
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:55.159
or low and Trump is high.
David Axelrod said it yesterday on CNN.

669
00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:01.119
Let Trump run in all fifty states, beat him at the ballot box with

670
00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:07.559
ideas. What a novel concept,
but not for a Democrat. They want

671
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:10.760
the checkbook. They want the power, They want the enrichment. They want

672
00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:15.559
an open southern border. They want
the collapse of our major cities demanding more

673
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:20.280
federal involvement. They want to embarrass
cops. They want to hurt military personnel

674
00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:22.800
in the rock. They don't want
to appropriately respond, the world is on

675
00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:29.760
fire. Everywhere the world was on
fire. It goes to the policies of

676
00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:36.400
Joe Biden. And when the Democrats
say that dog won't hunt anymore, they're

677
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:40.199
going to throw him overboard and get
Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom, r Kamala

678
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:45.360
Harris to run for the presidency.
Then we got real chaos and the countries

679
00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:51.920
down the tubes. Let's continue.
State Representative Jeanie Schmidt on the gay rights

680
00:57:52.159 --> 00:58:04.719
legislation in Ohio is next go cunning
in with you every Sunday night, Philly

681
00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:07.320
Cunningham, the great American of course, once again, Happy New Year.

682
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:14.159
And at this point on Times Square, etc. Nashville and in Las Vegas,

683
00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:16.960
all hell is not broken loose.
So we'll see what happens later.

684
00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:22.280
But a few days ago, Governor
Mike DeWine of the Great State of Ohio

685
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:27.199
vetoed a bill put out by the
state legislature of the House in the Senate

686
00:58:27.679 --> 00:58:32.280
that would say to miners and to
parents, you cannot transition your minor child

687
00:58:32.760 --> 00:58:37.119
even if a hospital and doctor says
it must be done for mental health reasons.

688
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:42.400
Also, there was a large provision
in that bill that talked about whether

689
00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:46.400
boys can play girl sports, and
the veto would mean that boys could identify

690
00:58:46.440 --> 00:58:52.639
as girls and play girl sports in
the state of Ohio. These LGBTQ plus

691
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:57.760
laws that have impacted children in Ohio. It's not an odd thing in America

692
00:58:57.800 --> 00:59:00.920
anymore. Most of the Blue states
already have it, not too many red

693
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:04.639
states, but Ohio is one.
Plus. There's been some reporting out of

694
00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:08.239
the AP and elsewhere that on January
tenth or the eleventh, the state Legislature

695
00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:14.800
and the State Senate could override the
veto. There's been some reporting that it's

696
00:59:14.840 --> 00:59:17.039
going to happen, but we're not
sure. But first of all, a

697
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:22.159
state representative of Jean Schmidt of the
Great State of Ohio, spent many years

698
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:24.400
in the Congress, came back home
to Ohio, and now she's been the

699
00:59:24.639 --> 00:59:28.639
state representative for quite a period of
time. She's one of the leaders of

700
00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:32.280
the House and one of the persons
that supports the idea that children should not

701
00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:37.800
transition until they're eighteen years old.
After that, it's your nickel, it's

702
00:59:37.840 --> 00:59:40.320
your life, live it. But
a fourteen year old boy that identifies as

703
00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:46.320
a girl, unless things change,
we'll have all the facilities available of children's

704
00:59:46.360 --> 00:59:50.400
hospitals and more so Genie Schmidt,
first of all, Happy new Year,

705
00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:52.719
Welcome to the bill Cunningham showing,
first of all, can you tell the

706
00:59:52.760 --> 00:59:57.840
American people tonight essentially, what did
your bill in the House and Senate do

707
00:59:58.440 --> 01:00:01.960
that Senate that Governor or de Wine
vetoed a couple of days ago. It

708
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:07.639
was very simple bill. It's said
that you cannot do any life altering a

709
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:17.400
gender affirmation drugs or surgeries until you're
eight. Team it al shows that that

710
01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:30.639
transgender women cannot participate in women's sports
period wi only biological women can participate in

711
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:37.360
women's sports, upholding the tenants of
Title nine, which was passed way back

712
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:40.000
in the seventies. And Genie,
when I read the liberals that are unhappy

713
01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:43.320
with this, let me go over
some of their arguments, and I think

714
01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:46.440
you can knock them down. Number
one, it's the issue of parental rights

715
01:00:46.880 --> 01:00:52.800
that when mom and dad or mom
or dad whoever's custody says that I want

716
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:55.719
my child to get quote a medical
procedure, and if there's a doctor that

717
01:00:55.840 --> 01:01:00.840
says it must be done, if
there's a hospital like Children or Nationwide or

718
01:01:01.519 --> 01:01:06.719
or Cleveland Clinic that says it must
be done, and then you have the

719
01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:12.320
child says yes, I want it
done. Why should government interfere with the

720
01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:16.480
rights of a parent for medical condition? That's argument number one your reaction.

721
01:01:22.920 --> 01:01:30.000
Children need to go through puberty first
so that their mind and their body can

722
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:38.079
develop appropriately before they make a life
altering decision. That's the tenet of this

723
01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:43.760
bill. It's not to stop you
from changing if you want to change,

724
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:50.280
but it's allowing you to go through
your maturity that is so important before you

725
01:01:50.559 --> 01:01:55.599
make that lfe altering decision, because
you can't you can't go through puberty again.

726
01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:59.599
You can't say Okay, I'll wait
till I'm twenty five, and then

727
01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:02.199
I go through it again. And
so aren't there many laws that Ohio,

728
01:02:02.760 --> 01:02:08.320
Kentucky, California, New York,
Florida say that parents can't do certain things

729
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:12.280
with a child, even if you
want to do them. For example,

730
01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:16.239
we require government requires child safety seats. Maybe some parent might say, you

731
01:02:16.280 --> 01:02:20.199
know what, I don't want to
put my kid in a child's safety seat.

732
01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:23.400
Government says to that parent, you
must do that. Government says there's

733
01:02:23.440 --> 01:02:28.440
certain vaccinations as a child that you
have to get. And if a parent

734
01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:30.679
would say, you know what,
my kid's not getting that smallpox, my

735
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:36.719
kid's not getting that measles. Thing
that's considered wrong. If a parent says,

736
01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:38.519
you know what, my kid ought
to be able to smoke marijuana when

737
01:02:38.519 --> 01:02:42.679
they're fifteen years old, most states
say, well, we're going to step

738
01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:45.119
between the parent and the child and
say, you know what, you can't

739
01:02:45.199 --> 01:02:51.880
let your kids smoke marijuana legally.
And there's many other things in juvenile court

740
01:02:51.960 --> 01:02:53.480
law that says, well, parents
may want to do certain things with a

741
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:58.400
child, but the government has an
interest to look after the child, even

742
01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:02.559
when the parent may act to respond. And so secondly, when I when

743
01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:08.920
I read the liberals, they're unhappy
with the idea that a child who is

744
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:14.760
sixteen or seventeen years old should be
able to play other sports that they identify.

745
01:03:14.920 --> 01:03:17.199
So if if you have, if
I have a grandson or granddaughter that

746
01:03:17.280 --> 01:03:21.440
wakes up and one says I want
to switch genders, they should be able

747
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:24.599
to play some other sport. But
there's injuries to to that other person that

748
01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:29.760
may transpire. And so as far
as this sports element, what was your

749
01:03:29.840 --> 01:03:35.519
decision making power about saying that boys
who quote identify as girls can no longer

750
01:03:35.639 --> 01:03:40.559
play have to play the sports assigned
at birth. Bill, it is fundamental

751
01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:50.199
men and women are built differently.
There is a book by Stacy Sins called

752
01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:54.920
war R period O Period a period
R Period. It was written over ten

753
01:03:55.079 --> 01:04:00.360
years ago. It doesn't talk about
transgender issues, but what it says women

754
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:02.159
is this, you want to be
a great athlete, then you need to

755
01:04:02.199 --> 01:04:05.199
look at yourself as a woman and
not as a man. Right now,

756
01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:09.400
we're training as if we were men. And she goes through all of the

757
01:04:09.440 --> 01:04:15.840
biological differences and how we fundamentally have
to train as women, eat the foods

758
01:04:16.079 --> 01:04:19.599
that are better for us as women
than as men. Let me give you

759
01:04:19.639 --> 01:04:25.440
a couple of examples. The body
to mass ratio between a man and a

760
01:04:25.480 --> 01:04:31.480
woman is different and it cannot be
changed. When you look at the oxygen

761
01:04:31.599 --> 01:04:36.639
to blood ratio and the muscle mass, it is totally different for you,

762
01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:41.480
Bill than it is for me.
And you can't find a drug out there

763
01:04:41.599 --> 01:04:47.320
that's going to correct that. You
can't find enough hormones to make a man

764
01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:54.599
be exactly what a biological woman is. Furthermore, the testosterone level in a

765
01:04:54.679 --> 01:04:59.599
man is at least ten times greater
than in a woman. And so forth

766
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:04.840
a biological man to go in to
become a woman. They can't lower it

767
01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:12.320
enough to be at a woman's rate. This is fundamentally unfair to women that

768
01:05:12.639 --> 01:05:15.800
want to compete. Bill, you
don't go to a start line wanting to

769
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:19.880
lose a race. You go to
a start line wanting to win that race.

770
01:05:20.280 --> 01:05:24.880
Now it may not happen, but
you want the idea that you can

771
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:29.599
at least try and have a fair
chance at it. When you've got a

772
01:05:29.679 --> 01:05:35.239
Leah Thomas going against O'Reilly gains,
what happens, Riley loses, and even

773
01:05:35.320 --> 01:05:40.000
when she ties, they give it
to Leah Thomas because it's only the right

774
01:05:40.119 --> 01:05:45.840
thing to do. Lea Thomas looks
so much bigger than those swimmers that she

775
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:51.559
competes against. It is wrong,
it is unfair. It puts Title nine

776
01:05:51.800 --> 01:05:57.159
upside down, and it is so
unfair to the women across America. And

777
01:05:57.480 --> 01:06:01.679
Jennie Schmid state representative, all that
is going to try to override the governor's

778
01:06:01.719 --> 01:06:05.079
veto. In about a week or
ten days, we went through a long,

779
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:12.920
decade long process of Title nine rights
that most and it was it was

780
01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:15.559
good, Uh, it was wonderful. It's Title nine was a good thing.

781
01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:20.760
And it's been about fifty years.
And now the same crowd that was

782
01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:28.119
promoting yelling about screaming equal funding Title
nine. You got ninety football scholarship players

783
01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:30.719
at Stanford University, then you need
ninety women in sports. So they got

784
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:33.800
volleyball, they got, they got, they got all kinds of sports,

785
01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:38.679
the tennis that women have equal,
equal rights and equal ability to play.

786
01:06:39.199 --> 01:06:43.039
And so the same crowd that insists
on an equal rights for women now want

787
01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:45.840
to get rid of equal rights for
women and allow those who are not women

788
01:06:46.079 --> 01:06:49.840
to play women's sports and take away
all that. When the Governor Mike DeWine,

789
01:06:50.119 --> 01:06:54.360
who I'll freely say is a friend
of mine and I know that you'll

790
01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:59.320
hold him an affection, uh personally, if not politically, that he said

791
01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:02.679
that the very very few people in
Ohio, and in his message on Friday

792
01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:09.199
about why he vetoed the transgender rights
law in Ohio was because number one,

793
01:07:09.239 --> 01:07:13.079
he said that he looked in the
eyes of a parent who had a transgender

794
01:07:13.559 --> 01:07:16.679
child, a sixteen year old girl
transitioning to a boy. I'm not sure

795
01:07:16.719 --> 01:07:20.239
how that happens, but nonetheless,
and he was told by the parents that

796
01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:24.880
if you don't allow this to happen. My sixteen year old girl is going

797
01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:28.559
to die, going to commit suicide. And so the argument is you agree

798
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:32.239
with us, or you advocate the
murder of children. Isn't that a ridiculous

799
01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:42.519
argument. It's a sad argument because
if there's a mental health issue, then

800
01:07:42.639 --> 01:07:46.039
that needs to be resolved, and
any surgery is not going to resolve that

801
01:07:46.199 --> 01:07:54.079
mental health issue. They need to
have appropriate care for whatever issues that are

802
01:07:54.159 --> 01:07:58.840
going through their mind that make them
want to commit suicide. And that's independent

803
01:07:59.239 --> 01:08:03.599
of deciding whether you're a man or
a woman. Yes, And as far

804
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:06.880
as what's going to happen in about
ten days, I've spoken to you,

805
01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:11.320
spoken in one or two others.
You're a leader in the House of Representatives.

806
01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:15.079
What's going to be the attempt honor
about January the tenth, about ten

807
01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:18.560
days from now, to override the
veto? Can you be successful? What's

808
01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:23.439
going to happen? Give me your
prediction. I do believe that we will

809
01:08:23.479 --> 01:08:29.399
be successful. It all depends upon
who shows up and for those that are

810
01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:34.439
not coming back next year, that
they have the courage to say no to

811
01:08:34.520 --> 01:08:39.039
the governor, because you know,
there's always those that want an appointment after

812
01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:44.479
life in the House or the Senate, and they may fear retribution. I

813
01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:47.960
wish that wouldn't be the case,
because we have to do what is right

814
01:08:48.079 --> 01:08:56.359
for Ohio. The citizens of Ohio
and the nation overwhelmingly agree with House Bill

815
01:08:56.520 --> 01:09:02.600
sixty eight, overwhelmingly agree up to
seventy percent, and for women in sports

816
01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:09.079
it's even higher. And that's for
both Republicans and Democrats. People look at

817
01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:14.279
this and go, what are you
thinking. Let's wait until you're eighteen.

818
01:09:14.520 --> 01:09:16.399
You want to do whatever you want
to your body at eighteen, that's fine,

819
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:24.159
But let's get these kids through puberty. Because puberty is an interesting developmental

820
01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:28.239
phase for a child, and they
have all kinds of ideas at the beginning

821
01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:31.439
of puberty that may not be the
same when they become an adult. And

822
01:09:31.600 --> 01:09:36.760
after all, how many little girls
have been tom boys and they identify as

823
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:41.239
boys for a while, and then
through puberty they work it out and become

824
01:09:41.319 --> 01:09:45.640
women. The same thing with boys
who may dress up and put a nail

825
01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:48.840
polish on their fingertips, but by
the time they come through puberty, they're

826
01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:54.840
boys and men. Do you think
do you think there's something more at stake

827
01:09:54.880 --> 01:09:58.119
here? Because a lot of people
say to me on this issue, how

828
01:09:58.199 --> 01:10:01.000
in the hell do we get to
this place? And almost every circumstance in

829
01:10:01.119 --> 01:10:04.479
life, follow the money. If
you follow the money, that's why it's

830
01:10:04.520 --> 01:10:10.399
happening. One tenth of one percent, half of one percent, maybe one

831
01:10:10.479 --> 01:10:15.159
percent identify as transsexual, transgender,
and somebody it's I don't want to say

832
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:18.359
it's not a problem, but it's
one tenth of one percent or half of

833
01:10:18.439 --> 01:10:23.279
one percent. With so much other
stuff going on, and so this has

834
01:10:23.359 --> 01:10:28.600
been seized by the media as a
truck to drive right through the middle of

835
01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:32.279
Republican conservatism that you don't care about
children. In fact, the cry of

836
01:10:32.319 --> 01:10:35.479
the left is you want you want
children to die? Do you have some

837
01:10:35.680 --> 01:10:40.159
idea, Genie Schmidts And where this
all came from that a few years ago

838
01:10:40.239 --> 01:10:45.479
didn't even exist, I don't know. Maybe it's social media. Maybe there's

839
01:10:45.560 --> 01:10:50.479
a group out there that thinks we
need to accept everything without realizing the consequences

840
01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:56.000
of what we're accepting. But I
will tell you this, for the folks

841
01:10:56.079 --> 01:11:03.359
that are so worried about a child
committee suicide because they didn't get a chance

842
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:09.960
to change their identity, their gender
identity before they were eighteen. I would

843
01:11:10.079 --> 01:11:15.640
like to ask those same people,
what about ending the life of a child

844
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:19.479
inside the womb? Oh? Mother, you can't say that, Oh my

845
01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:25.680
god, I mean to say that. I can't say. You know I'm

846
01:11:25.720 --> 01:11:30.119
pro life, Yeah, you know, I'm pro life. Well, I

847
01:11:30.239 --> 01:11:34.000
am life in every way, shape
and form. I want these kids to

848
01:11:34.119 --> 01:11:39.840
reach eighteen. You know, to
a liberal, abortions like a sacrament.

849
01:11:40.399 --> 01:11:44.640
And when you bring up lives in
the womb, the media and the left

850
01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:48.199
goes crazy. And assuming, do
we have statistics after ten years? What

851
01:11:48.399 --> 01:11:55.239
happens if someone transitions, say children's
hospital, ten years from now? Is

852
01:11:55.319 --> 01:11:58.840
everything hunky dory, Everything's great,
no more mental problems, Everything's great?

853
01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:03.399
Is that true? No? Nobody
has, at least in the Greater Cincinnati

854
01:12:03.560 --> 01:12:10.319
or the great Ohio area, has
done any long term studies on transgendering these

855
01:12:10.439 --> 01:12:14.720
children. None. There are no
studies. So we don't know how many

856
01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:20.479
have wanted to cross back and not
been able to fully realize their biological birth.

857
01:12:21.439 --> 01:12:28.920
We don't know how many have been
suicidal. Beyond it, we don't

858
01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:33.600
have any idea what the mental outcome
is after they go through this. We

859
01:12:33.760 --> 01:12:38.199
do know that for some of those
that have gone through it and realized that

860
01:12:38.319 --> 01:12:43.520
they were wrong in making that decision, that they understand they can't go back

861
01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:45.720
to the way they were. And
in fact, many lawsuits have not been

862
01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:53.239
filed. I know Vanderbilt University Children's
Hospital is being sued many others that those

863
01:12:53.319 --> 01:12:58.039
who have gone through it as children
are suing doctors and hospitals to get back

864
01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:03.319
their gender. And so trans individuals
don't suddenly they live in the promised Land.

865
01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:08.600
They still have a lot of problems. Maybe there was mental difficulties of

866
01:13:08.880 --> 01:13:13.880
jennerdysphoria without the issue of transitioning,
but now you add transitioning on top of

867
01:13:13.960 --> 01:13:19.439
that, you got more mental difficulties. And so I just hope that we

868
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:24.199
bring some sanity to these proceedings.
And can you give me your final prediction.

869
01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:29.600
With the Ohio House and Senate overrule
the Governor's veto, I would be

870
01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:33.479
betting on overwriting the veto. I
would not bet against it. There's enough

871
01:13:34.079 --> 01:13:40.960
momentum going on right now. The
Speaker is actively whipping votes. In fact,

872
01:13:41.079 --> 01:13:46.279
it wasn't even twenty four hours after
the Governor's press conference that I got

873
01:13:46.319 --> 01:13:50.760
whipped on a vote. So we're
looking at the right timeline to make sure

874
01:13:50.800 --> 01:13:57.000
everybody is back and has the opportunity
to voice their opinion on this. But

875
01:13:57.199 --> 01:14:00.880
Bill, I don't know why people
wanted to I'm not going to question why

876
01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:04.279
they want to change. I just
want to make sure that when they make

877
01:14:04.399 --> 01:14:10.039
that life altering decision, they are
mature enough to do it. That's the

878
01:14:10.119 --> 01:14:14.920
important point right there. I also, Bill, more importantly, want biological

879
01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:23.279
women have the opportunity to compete against
biological women in any and every sport.

880
01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:29.399
As an aging athlete, it is
fundamentally unfair if I have to show up

881
01:14:29.439 --> 01:14:35.239
at a start line and compete against
a transgendering woman fidementally. Well, I

882
01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:39.960
hear what you're saying. Thank you, and Genie Schmidt, me and you

883
01:14:40.039 --> 01:14:43.560
and yours have a happy new year. It's going to be Hopefully twenty twenty

884
01:14:43.600 --> 01:14:45.560
four is going to be wild.
Twenty twenty three was I think, in

885
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:49.960
some ways a good year for Republicans. Become twenty twenty four, I fear

886
01:14:50.039 --> 01:14:53.920
all hell is going to break loose. But Genie Schmidt, a happy new

887
01:14:54.039 --> 01:14:58.119
year, and once again, thank
you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show

888

much. Take it less file. Let's

Happy New Year. Too late for merry

892
01:15:26.159 --> 01:15:30.560
Christmas and happy holidays. And twenty
twenty three was one hell of a year.

893
01:15:31.199 --> 01:15:35.039
I think I can withstand twenty twenty
four having gone through twenty twenty three.

894
01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:40.439
However, twenty twenty four is going
to be chaotic to the max.

895
01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:45.680
But just briefly, on this gender
rights issue, I want every child that

896
01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:48.000
has mental difficulties to get all the
help, all the help they need,

897
01:15:48.199 --> 01:15:54.359
please, especially a child that's having
some gender dysphoria or other difficulties. Please

898
01:15:54.800 --> 01:15:58.840
please, I want you to get
the help. One way of not doing

899
01:15:58.880 --> 01:16:02.319
it, in my opinion, mono
therapy and gender reassignment surgery. To me,

900
01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:09.479
that makes no sense whatsoever. But
State Representative Jeanie Schmidt of Ohio is

901
01:16:09.560 --> 01:16:14.720
going to quarterback the effort in Ohio
to overturn Governor Mike Dwines veto which my

902
01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:17.119
sources tell me that they have a
good chance of doing it. So let's

903
01:16:17.159 --> 01:16:20.720
continue with more. Coming up next
is Wayne Landen route from Las Vegas.

904
01:16:20.800 --> 01:16:27.680
Also later Senator Ryan Paul once again, Happy holidays and Happy New Year.

905
01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:31.359
Bill Cunningham, the Great American With
you and all other great Americans every Sunday

906
01:16:31.439 --> 01:17:03.600
night, Willie the Ball rough you
by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and Wild

907
01:17:03.600 --> 01:17:09.359
Willyan Hotels are serving up double points
for every qualifying stay book at Choice Hotels

908
01:17:09.399 --> 01:17:14.319
dot com. Now here's the man
who's been recognized as radio's best, the

909
01:17:14.439 --> 01:17:19.000
recipient of not one, but two
prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast excellence,

910
01:17:19.399 --> 01:17:25.239
the one and only Bill Cunningham by
Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Of

911
01:17:25.279 --> 01:17:28.640
course, my top guest I think
of all time instead of just this year,

912
01:17:28.760 --> 01:17:31.680
is Wayne Allen Root. Root for
America. It's a wonderful website.

913
01:17:31.760 --> 01:17:35.760
Have it up right now, Wayne
Allen Root. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays,

914
01:17:35.800 --> 01:17:39.640
and happy New Year. But I
think we have to start about the

915
01:17:39.720 --> 01:17:44.359
recent decision by the Colorado Supreme Court. They've taken this thing to an industrial

916
01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:49.920
strength threat to democracy level, in
which four activist judges put on black robes

917
01:17:49.960 --> 01:17:55.239
in a four to three vote in
Colorado and said basically that Trump can we

918
01:17:55.319 --> 01:17:59.680
can't vote for the guy having done
everything they can to soil him politically.

919
01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:02.359
Then now I want to ban them
from the ballot. And I want to

920
01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:06.359
get to your reaction to that before
we talk about Michelle Obama's Canadacy. Woo.

921
01:18:06.600 --> 01:18:10.840
What's your view as a Westerner,
as a nov Auden about what the

922
01:18:10.960 --> 01:18:15.560
Colorado Supreme Court's doing to the nation. Well, the best way for me

923
01:18:15.640 --> 01:18:18.039
to explain it, Bill is I
just put up my three tweets in this

924
01:18:18.159 --> 01:18:20.920
morning, and I'll read the three
of them to you all short. The

925
01:18:21.000 --> 01:18:26.920
first one says Trump is disqualified in
Colorado, add five more points to Trump's

926
01:18:26.920 --> 01:18:31.000
popularity, just like each indictment.
Democrats are so dumb, desperate and delusional.

927
01:18:31.399 --> 01:18:35.520
Democrats are wiley E coyote. Trump
is the roadrunner. Beep beep.

928
01:18:35.840 --> 01:18:40.319
That was the first one. They
added five points to popularity. The second

929
01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:45.520
one is I wonder how many of
Colorado Supreme Court judges who just disqualify Trump

930
01:18:45.640 --> 01:18:49.239
run Epstein's island of pedophilia, rape
and child abuse? Want to bet all

931
01:18:49.399 --> 01:18:55.359
tied together? And my third,
my third one is my third one is

932
01:18:55.520 --> 01:19:00.479
definition of insurrection. One using pandemic
to rig and steal election with fake mail

933
01:19:00.520 --> 01:19:05.119
in ballots and no voter ID.
Two take bribes from China and the Mexican

934
01:19:05.199 --> 01:19:11.560
drug cartels. Three commit treason by
opening the borders to intentionally destroy the USA,

935
01:19:12.199 --> 01:19:16.479
and four finally use election interference to
disqualify the only guy who could stop

936
01:19:16.520 --> 01:19:21.760
you from finishing the job of destroying
America and send you to Guantanamo for treason

937
01:19:23.079 --> 01:19:27.000
after he wins the election. That's
why they did what they did. This

938
01:19:27.239 --> 01:19:32.119
isn't Colorado, This isn't Colorado's Supreme
Court judges. This is all Democrats in

939
01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:38.840
power. They have stolen an election. They have then taken money from China

940
01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:44.279
and the Mexican drug cartel and offshore
accounts. They used it to destroy American

941
01:19:44.319 --> 01:19:46.760
in favor of China and to let
all the drugs in and all the people

942
01:19:46.800 --> 01:19:51.279
in to destroy this country and rig
all future elections because you're filling the country

943
01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:57.520
with people who will never vote Republican
for decades to come. They open those

944
01:19:57.560 --> 01:20:01.840
borders, they invited everyone in total
tree and now you disqualify the only guy

945
01:20:01.840 --> 01:20:06.920
who can beat you, who's winning
in every race in every battleground state nationally,

946
01:20:08.039 --> 01:20:12.279
destroying your candidate and the only guy
who, if he wins, would

947
01:20:12.319 --> 01:20:16.359
have the cajones to now convict you
of treason and send you to Guantanamo for

948
01:20:16.399 --> 01:20:21.159
the rest of your life for committing
treason against this country. That's why Democrats

949
01:20:21.239 --> 01:20:26.880
all have Trump's arrangement syndrome. They
know what they did, and they're scared

950
01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:30.000
to death. They're all going to
be convicted of treason. They've stolen the

951
01:20:30.119 --> 01:20:35.640
nation by stealing the election and then
opening the borders to allow a full scale

952
01:20:35.760 --> 01:20:42.800
invasion that makes Russia's invasion of Ukraine
look like child's play. Our nation's been

953
01:20:42.880 --> 01:20:47.039
invaded and they allowed it because they're
all on the take bill. Whether it's

954
01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:51.920
China or the Mexican drug cartel,
or George Soros or the World's Economic Forum,

955
01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:57.560
these people have all taken money and
offshore accounts to destroy this country.

956
01:20:57.880 --> 01:21:01.840
I'm looking at this way. Jack
Smith, who is Joe Biden's prosecutor against

957
01:21:02.239 --> 01:21:10.039
Donald Trump, spent months and months
and months investigating insurrection and after months and

958
01:21:10.239 --> 01:21:15.279
months of months of grand jury testimony
of all the telephone all the cell phone

959
01:21:15.319 --> 01:21:19.039
records, all the emails back and
forth, Jack Smith himself determined, after

960
01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:25.840
a lengthy investigation, that Donald Trump
did not commit an act of insurrection.

961
01:21:26.199 --> 01:21:30.640
That comes from Joe Biden's own prosecutor. So here sits in the Rocky Mountain

962
01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:36.479
high of Colorado, and without trial, without witnesses, without a full vetting

963
01:21:36.640 --> 01:21:43.199
of the charge, they simply charged
him, convicted him, and then sentenced

964
01:21:43.239 --> 01:21:48.000
him on an insurrection when Joe Biden's
own prosecutor, Jack Smith, said it

965
01:21:48.119 --> 01:21:54.039
didn't happen. And so how when
I watch MSNBC and some of the other

966
01:21:54.119 --> 01:21:58.920
talk show CNN, they're doing the
macarina once again. The road Runner has

967
01:21:59.039 --> 01:22:02.920
been captured code runner as Donald Trump
and looking at this, a ninety one

968
01:22:03.039 --> 01:22:09.439
count indictments from Democratic prosecutors, hundreds
of millions of dollars in possible fines,

969
01:22:09.720 --> 01:22:12.800
and on top of that, get
them off the ballot, Wayne Helue,

970
01:22:13.199 --> 01:22:16.399
what are they frightened of? Is
this a banana republic? Yeah? They

971
01:22:16.840 --> 01:22:23.920
they all committed treason. To rig
and steal an election of a country is

972
01:22:24.039 --> 01:22:29.520
treason. They did that because trillions
of dollars were on the line. They

973
01:22:29.680 --> 01:22:33.239
want to keep taking their bribes from
China and the Mexican drug cartel. You

974
01:22:33.279 --> 01:22:35.720
know, Bill, Look, I've
been in business my whole life, and

975
01:22:35.920 --> 01:22:40.720
anyone who brings me business, I
give him ten percent tomorrow bill. If

976
01:22:40.760 --> 01:22:43.439
you bring me a deal and I
make one hundred thousand dollars, I will

977
01:22:43.479 --> 01:22:46.760
give you ten thousand dollars. I
give everyone a ten percent Findrs fee.

978
01:22:47.079 --> 01:22:50.600
That's what makes everybody happy, and
they're glad to bring you more business.

979
01:22:50.960 --> 01:22:57.119
I'm telling you that the borders are
open because it serves two purposes to Democrats.

980
01:22:57.199 --> 01:23:00.720
One, you let the whole world
in. You change the demographics of

981
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:04.399
America and it becomes a socialist slash
communist nation for the rest of all time.

982
01:23:04.479 --> 01:23:09.239
No Republican will ever be elected again
once all these people start voting.

983
01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:14.840
And Two, you take bribes from
China and the Mexican drug cartel. For

984
01:23:15.039 --> 01:23:17.640
every person that's let in, and
every drug that's let in, and all

985
01:23:17.680 --> 01:23:21.279
the pedophilia that's let in, and
all the human trafficking that's let in,

986
01:23:21.720 --> 01:23:27.520
you get paid a finder's fee by
the people who are benefiting. Now,

987
01:23:27.560 --> 01:23:31.880
the Mexican drug cartels are making billions
of dollars a day, they can afford

988
01:23:31.960 --> 01:23:38.119
to give away billions in off short
accounts. And I'm telling you the Democrat

989
01:23:38.239 --> 01:23:42.600
Party has all been paid off by
China and the Mexican drug cartel. Now,

990
01:23:42.640 --> 01:23:45.199
if Trump gets re elected, He's
gonna go after these people now he

991
01:23:45.279 --> 01:23:49.640
wants revenge. It's a double ed
shwort, right. You indicted him to

992
01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:54.239
keep him from being elected, but
if he overcomes the indictment, becomes more

993
01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:59.399
popular than ever it gets elected.
Now you face life in prison on Guantanamo

994
01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:03.439
break. That's why they've got to
stop him at all costs. And every

995
01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:08.279
day he gets more and more popular. And they just made him much more

996
01:24:08.359 --> 01:24:14.199
popular again because the average American guy
in gal can see that he's being persecuted

997
01:24:14.680 --> 01:24:18.079
for for really nothing. Anybody can
see. There's nothing that Trump ever did

998
01:24:18.399 --> 01:24:23.600
that should result in persecution, and
that's why people are behind him, and

999
01:24:23.720 --> 01:24:26.720
that's why he gets more popular every
day, and the Trump train is on

1000
01:24:26.800 --> 01:24:30.960
its way to victory. Screw Colorado. We never needed Colorado anyway. Colorado's

1001
01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:33.720
not a winnable state, so it
just doesn't matter. Well in the next

1002
01:24:34.279 --> 01:24:38.119
I guess by January third or fourth, we're going to know whether or not

1003
01:24:38.640 --> 01:24:41.560
the Supreme Court will take it.
I think the US Supreme Court has got

1004
01:24:41.640 --> 01:24:45.479
to take it, because if Colorado
can do it, why can't Michigan or

1005
01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:49.960
Pennsylvania or Minnesota or Wisconsin do exactly
the same thing. And then and the

1006
01:24:50.079 --> 01:24:55.640
second lay, why can't a red
prosecutor in a red state file a civil

1007
01:24:55.720 --> 01:25:00.039
lawsuit to get Joe Biden struck from
the ballot because of his behavior on the

1008
01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:06.000
southern borders, refusal to follow his
oath of office. He's committing many say

1009
01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:10.720
treason by what his act. So
why can't Joe Biden be ordered off the

1010
01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:15.119
ballot by Republican judges? Is that
what's coming next? No, because Republican

1011
01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:17.920
judges are all you know. I'll
say the word pussycats. I'll say it

1012
01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:23.479
nicely, pussycats. They just won't
do what needs to be done. Here's

1013
01:25:23.520 --> 01:25:26.560
the deal, Bill, I was
the first guy in America when Trump was

1014
01:25:26.600 --> 01:25:30.319
indicted the first time by Manhattan DA. It was named Alvin brad When Braggan

1015
01:25:30.359 --> 01:25:33.319
died a Trump. That was last
March, so it's sort of like nine

1016
01:25:33.439 --> 01:25:38.000
months ago when that happened. I
said, all we have to do is

1017
01:25:38.119 --> 01:25:44.760
Republican das and Republican prosecutors and Republican
attorney generals and totally red states where they

1018
01:25:44.800 --> 01:25:47.720
know they're going to get re elected, need to indict Biden, Mayorkist,

1019
01:25:48.039 --> 01:25:54.479
Kamala Obama, all the people that
have committed real crimes by opening the border

1020
01:25:54.560 --> 01:25:58.399
and destroying the United States. Those
are real crimes, and a Republicans need

1021
01:25:58.479 --> 01:26:00.680
to indict them and let them prove
they're not guilty, just like they're doing

1022
01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:04.479
a Trump. If we do that, that'll stop them from doing this to

1023
01:26:04.560 --> 01:26:08.079
Trump when they know they're gonna have
the same thing done to them. And

1024
01:26:08.239 --> 01:26:13.199
what happened in those nine months Now
one Republican DA or Attorney general did anything.

1025
01:26:13.479 --> 01:26:16.199
They're never gonna do anything. Our
party is a power as a party

1026
01:26:16.239 --> 01:26:21.600
of pussycats and cowards and intimidated people
and afraid of what the press will say

1027
01:26:21.640 --> 01:26:26.239
about them. And on the other
side, you have a full scale communist,

1028
01:26:26.640 --> 01:26:30.920
vicious communist thug takeover of the United
States of America. And if someone

1029
01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:33.880
doesn't get tough on our side and
fight back and hit back hard, our

1030
01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:39.760
country is gone. And you think
about the Bidens, everyone associated with him,

1031
01:26:39.800 --> 01:26:44.479
his brother, his sister, the
Hunter Biden said of the grandchildren receiving

1032
01:26:44.560 --> 01:26:47.880
millions of dollars. Hunter Biden and
Joe Biden and Jim Biden knows that if

1033
01:26:47.920 --> 01:26:53.239
Trump wins, a prosecutor is going
to be selected by Donald Trump to go

1034
01:26:53.359 --> 01:26:57.920
after them. So they understand.
That's what's at stake here is their own

1035
01:26:57.960 --> 01:27:01.239
incarceration. Now, I am infinite
that Joe Biden will do at the end

1036
01:27:01.680 --> 01:27:06.479
what Donald Trump did not do,
which is pardon his family, pardon himself.

1037
01:27:06.560 --> 01:27:11.000
Going out the door, Hunter,
Biden will be protected by the DOJ

1038
01:27:11.199 --> 01:27:15.359
and the FBI until he gets pardoned. Is there any doubt in your mind

1039
01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:17.720
that Joe Biden, if he can
still sign his name, at some point

1040
01:27:17.800 --> 01:27:23.079
near the end, is going to
pardon and all the Bidens from top to

1041
01:27:23.159 --> 01:27:26.279
bottom. And something Donald Trump said
I don't have to do. I did

1042
01:27:26.359 --> 01:27:29.840
nothing wrong. So as he's leaving
out the door, he didn't pardon anybody

1043
01:27:29.880 --> 01:27:32.960
because he didn't have to. But
the Bidens understand what's coming. And so

1044
01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:36.079
going out the door in December,
like a year from now, if and

1045
01:27:36.159 --> 01:27:40.880
when Joe Biden stands and is re
elected, which I think is almost impossible,

1046
01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:43.720
or if he's not elected, he's
not going to be around in August

1047
01:27:43.760 --> 01:27:46.960
for the convention. But nonetheless,
don't you isn't there a belief that the

1048
01:27:47.159 --> 01:27:51.039
FBI will protect the Biden's and then
at the end, Joe Biden will pardon

1049
01:27:51.199 --> 01:27:56.119
everybody. Yeah, the most important
thing you said though before I answer that

1050
01:27:56.239 --> 01:27:58.840
question, is you said a year
from now, I don't know how our

1051
01:27:58.920 --> 01:28:02.079
republic survives for the next year.
I really don't you know what we're talking

1052
01:28:02.119 --> 01:28:06.159
about, this the Colorado disqualifying Trump, when what we should be talking about,

1053
01:28:06.199 --> 01:28:11.079
Bill is the mass invasion on the
US border. And then that gets

1054
01:28:11.159 --> 01:28:14.960
worse every day, fourteen five hundred
people and one day the other day the

1055
01:28:15.079 --> 01:28:17.760
all time record. I predicted all
this. I said, the minute you

1056
01:28:17.800 --> 01:28:24.680
will Supreme Court allowed Joe Biden to
end Title forty two, the flood would

1057
01:28:24.720 --> 01:28:28.479
begin like nothing anyone's ever seen.
I knew, and I don't think the

1058
01:28:28.479 --> 01:28:31.880
average person knows. There's one point
five billion people in the world who are

1059
01:28:32.039 --> 01:28:36.159
under the age of sixteen, and
every one of them would like to come

1060
01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:41.199
to America. And if you wave
them all in, they're all gonna come.

1061
01:28:41.319 --> 01:28:44.760
This isn't a matter of if,
it's only a matter of when the

1062
01:28:45.159 --> 01:28:49.279
entire world is thinking about coming to
America. They all have nothing. They

1063
01:28:49.319 --> 01:28:54.479
have bare feet, they can't afford
shoes, they can't afford food, and

1064
01:28:54.600 --> 01:28:57.960
they hear that if you come to
America, you pick anywhere you want to

1065
01:28:58.039 --> 01:29:00.760
go, you get a free flight, a free cell phone, and you

1066
01:29:00.840 --> 01:29:04.840
get a five thousand dollars visa card, and you get legal aid for free,

1067
01:29:05.159 --> 01:29:09.479
and you immediately get food stamps and
welfare, and your kids can go

1068
01:29:09.600 --> 01:29:15.079
to American schools for free, and
you get free healthcare. The entire world

1069
01:29:15.279 --> 01:29:18.039
is coming, Bill, So I
don't even know how we survive the next

1070
01:29:18.119 --> 01:29:21.880
year, because there may be ten
million new ones in the next year that

1071
01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:26.239
double with Biden let in in the
first three years. It's so over the

1072
01:29:26.319 --> 01:29:29.640
top, extreme at the border right
now. So you know, when you

1073
01:29:29.720 --> 01:29:31.600
say one year, how are we
gonna survive? I don't know. And

1074
01:29:31.680 --> 01:29:34.880
when you ask the question, you
know, will Biden, you know,

1075
01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:40.079
pardon his kid and himself? Yes, because the whole key is when you

1076
01:29:40.199 --> 01:29:43.279
have the media on your side,
you can get away with anything. They'll

1077
01:29:43.359 --> 01:29:46.119
just ignore it, like they ignored
Hunter Biden's laptop. But if Trump had

1078
01:29:46.159 --> 01:29:49.680
done it and the media is against
you, my god, the entire nation

1079
01:29:49.800 --> 01:29:54.119
would be rioting, and the whole
nation would be protesting, and the whole

1080
01:29:54.199 --> 01:29:58.159
inner cities would be burning. Trump
pardoned himself, he pardoned his children,

1081
01:29:58.199 --> 01:30:00.079
he pardoned his friends. Oh my
god, he's Nixon. He's the most

1082
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:03.079
corrupt man that ever lived. You
know what, it goes back to remember

1083
01:30:03.119 --> 01:30:08.000
when Nixon was when Watergate happened and
Nixon got kicked out of office, he

1084
01:30:08.079 --> 01:30:13.119
was facing impeachment. The number one
charge was Watergate. The number two charge

1085
01:30:13.199 --> 01:30:17.880
everyone forgets using the IRS to destroy
your political opponents, and that was numbers

1086
01:30:17.920 --> 01:30:21.159
of judge. When Obama was president, he used the IRS to go after

1087
01:30:21.279 --> 01:30:27.359
Republican donors and Republican critics, including
yours truly, Wayne Allen Route. And

1088
01:30:27.479 --> 01:30:30.880
we know that for a fact.
Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch took my case

1089
01:30:31.199 --> 01:30:35.880
and demanded, upon threat of subpoena, all my files from the IRS,

1090
01:30:36.239 --> 01:30:41.319
and they proved it was a Democrat
political witch hunt against Wayne Ruth. And

1091
01:30:41.439 --> 01:30:44.920
we know was ordered by Obama because
in every interview, I say, Obama's

1092
01:30:44.960 --> 01:30:48.000
my college classmate at Columbia University,
and he's the ghost of Colombia, and

1093
01:30:48.039 --> 01:30:53.239
he's the Mensurian Canadate. He was
never there, and so you know that

1094
01:30:53.359 --> 01:30:57.279
he ordered them to destroy my life. But nobody ever went after Obama.

1095
01:30:57.359 --> 01:31:00.880
They claimed it was in your area
since thein NAT it was an isolated case.

1096
01:31:01.319 --> 01:31:05.239
It had nothing to do with Obama. When you're a Republican, they

1097
01:31:05.319 --> 01:31:11.399
make you resign over the exact same
thing, or you're going to jail Obama

1098
01:31:11.520 --> 01:31:15.199
nothing because the media was on his
side. Same thing. Now Biden can

1099
01:31:15.239 --> 01:31:18.359
get away with anything because the media
is on his side. Lastly, there's

1100
01:31:18.439 --> 01:31:23.199
going to come some event the next
few months in which Joe Biden, obviously

1101
01:31:23.359 --> 01:31:28.199
the big guy, took millions of
dollars in bribes. The Biden family has

1102
01:31:28.279 --> 01:31:31.159
monetized every office he's been and it's
gotten worse. And at some point,

1103
01:31:31.319 --> 01:31:35.640
either his mental acuity will be so
bad he can't put together two sentences that

1104
01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:43.199
the nightmare scenario may happen in August, in which case Donald Trump sadly cannot

1105
01:31:43.279 --> 01:31:47.560
beat Michelle Obama. Play out for
me the nightmare scenario. Well, I

1106
01:31:47.600 --> 01:31:49.880
don't know that he can't be Michelle
Obama. I mean, the whole thing

1107
01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:55.000
issue is at this point, I
honestly believe the entire country has woken up

1108
01:31:55.039 --> 01:31:59.000
and a lot of people have swallowed
the right pill this time, and everybody

1109
01:31:59.039 --> 01:32:01.239
sees what's going on, and a
lot of people are on Trump's side.

1110
01:32:01.279 --> 01:32:04.239
Black people are on Trump's side,
not all, but I'm saying many more

1111
01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:08.720
than were in sixteen or twenty.
And right now I think we got a

1112
01:32:09.039 --> 01:32:12.520
you know, like a twenty point
bump among Black Americans. We got a

1113
01:32:12.600 --> 01:32:15.399
huge bump among Latinos. People are
waking up in the United State, young

1114
01:32:15.479 --> 01:32:20.199
people. Every poll shows Trump is
destroying Biden among young people who would have

1115
01:32:20.199 --> 01:32:24.920
ever believed that Muslims. Muslims don't
necessarily like Trump, but they've all gotten

1116
01:32:24.960 --> 01:32:28.439
together here in Nevada. He just
got a press release yesterday morning. The

1117
01:32:28.600 --> 01:32:32.239
Muslim like eight Muslim organizations in Nevada
have now pledged to do anything in their

1118
01:32:32.279 --> 01:32:35.800
power to destroy Joe Biden. Could
you believe this? Because they're so bad

1119
01:32:35.880 --> 01:32:40.680
at the way he's treated Israel versus
Gaza. So even though Trump's the most

1120
01:32:40.720 --> 01:32:44.800
pro president history, Muslims are gonna
sit on their hands and make sure Biden's

1121
01:32:44.800 --> 01:32:47.520
not re elected. So my point
to you is, I think everyone's woken

1122
01:32:47.600 --> 01:32:50.159
up and a lot of people are
gonna be voting for Trump, whether the

1123
01:32:50.199 --> 01:32:55.520
election is rigged or not, whether
they can manage a new pandemic and make

1124
01:32:55.560 --> 01:32:58.960
everyone mail and vote, and with
mail in ballots no voter ID, they

1125
01:32:59.039 --> 01:33:01.640
get more you know, the elections. I have no way to control that,

1126
01:33:02.000 --> 01:33:04.359
But I'm just telling you, I
don't know that anyone at this point

1127
01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:10.239
can beat the Trump juggernaut, including
Michelle Obama. I have no doubt she

1128
01:33:10.399 --> 01:33:14.840
will be the candidate or someone else
besides Biden will be the candidate. She's

1129
01:33:15.279 --> 01:33:17.199
in my opinion, the leading choice. But they got to get rid of

1130
01:33:17.239 --> 01:33:20.640
Biden. They're going to replace him. Whether Michelle Watson or not, we'll

1131
01:33:20.680 --> 01:33:24.800
find out. Wayne Allen, Root, Maine, You and yours have a

1132
01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:29.199
wonderful Christmas, Happy holidays, and
happy New Year. You're my top guest

1133
01:33:29.319 --> 01:33:32.600
of twenty twenty three. And man, you and yours continue to prosper and

1134
01:33:32.680 --> 01:33:35.720
let's keep the fight. This country
is worth fighting for. Way on on

1135
01:33:35.760 --> 01:33:41.159
the route. Thank you very much. Rootfroamerica dot com, all my commentaries,

1136
01:33:41.199 --> 01:33:44.560
all my TV shows, all my
radio shows. God Bless America,

1137
01:33:44.880 --> 01:33:47.800
rootfro America dot com. It's what
I do, build root for this great

1138
01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:50.680
country. God bless you. Let's
continue with more. Thank you, Wayne,

1139
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:55.039
Let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, live with

1140
01:33:55.159 --> 01:34:04.560
you every Sunday night, my Billy
cunning In the Great American, of course,

1141
01:34:04.600 --> 01:34:08.960
in evening without Wayne Allen Roots and
the evening without sunshine. A lot

1142
01:34:09.039 --> 01:34:14.239
of activities going on and not quite
midnight in Las Vegas, but on the

1143
01:34:14.279 --> 01:34:18.000
East coast, of course, it's
right there. And I love having that

1144
01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:23.199
guy on because he has passion,
he has knowledge, he has connections,

1145
01:34:23.640 --> 01:34:28.720
he has vociferous speaking skills. And
any show I have with Wayne Allen Root

1146
01:34:29.239 --> 01:34:30.199
is going to be a good one. And Wayne, thank you very much,

1147
01:34:30.319 --> 01:34:34.399
mean you and yours have a glorious
new year twenty twenty four. Well,

1148
01:34:34.439 --> 01:34:38.319
a couple of things I'd like to
see in the new year. Number

1149
01:34:38.359 --> 01:34:45.079
one, a clean southern border without
illegals crossing and mass deciding who comes here

1150
01:34:45.119 --> 01:34:49.079
or not us. Number two.
Donald Trump re elected to the presidency in

1151
01:34:49.199 --> 01:34:55.079
twenty twenty four, with Nikki Hayley
as his vice president, believe it or

1152
01:34:55.159 --> 01:34:59.880
not. And when that happens,
the media is going to go absolutely bat

1153
01:35:00.079 --> 01:35:03.399
crap crazy. It's going to be
unbelievable what the media is doing to him

1154
01:35:03.439 --> 01:35:09.079
right now, what the Democrats are
doing to him right now. And he

1155
01:35:09.159 --> 01:35:13.720
will be indicted more times, he
will be sued more often, and he

1156
01:35:13.800 --> 01:35:16.960
will stop though what's happening on the
southern border. He will get the nation's

1157
01:35:17.079 --> 01:35:23.119
finances in order and get us out
of entanglements and all these foreign wars that

1158
01:35:23.319 --> 01:35:29.399
is draining our treasury and has the
possibility of the literal destruction of the United

1159
01:35:29.439 --> 01:35:32.000
States of America. And we don't
need this. We don't need it.

1160
01:35:32.840 --> 01:35:38.239
When Israel is concerned, that is
God's representative on earth who must do everything

1161
01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:42.720
in our power possible to make sure
that Israel is not blown away by Hamas

1162
01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:47.399
or Hezbla or Iran. But what's
happening in Ukraine. I hope Biden knows

1163
01:35:47.439 --> 01:35:51.520
what he's doing. I say that
knowing he does not. Let's continue with

1164
01:35:51.640 --> 01:35:56.560
more. Senator Ran Paul of be
next, my favorite senator from Kentucky,

1165
01:35:56.920 --> 01:36:01.199
about what's occurring with AM radio and
what's happening in the Senate. More Bill

1166
01:36:01.239 --> 01:36:05.920
Cunningham, The Great American with you
and all Great Americans is New Year's Neve

1167
01:36:06.039 --> 01:36:15.000
Night on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Of course, Senator Ram Paul of my

1168
01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:20.479
home state of Kentucky is my favorite
senator by far in Kentucky did something a

1169
01:36:20.560 --> 01:36:24.439
week or two ago. I want
to take umbrage with him. That's why

1170
01:36:24.600 --> 01:36:30.000
I have him on tonight. And
that is the kind of voted objection to

1171
01:36:30.199 --> 01:36:36.279
allowing AM radio to be required on
all new cars made in America. That's

1172
01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:41.159
personal to me and personal to many
in our business. Once again, Senator

1173
01:36:41.239 --> 01:36:44.720
Ram Paul, Welcome to the Bill
Cunningham Show, and Senator how are you

1174
01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:48.159
very good? Bill? Thanks for
having man good. You know I have

1175
01:36:48.279 --> 01:36:51.840
to take you to task a bit. We've been rounding around for many years,

1176
01:36:51.960 --> 01:36:55.640
ninety five percent of the time on
the same page. But as I

1177
01:36:55.760 --> 01:37:00.359
understand that, I read your interview
at has with my friend Terry Miners about

1178
01:37:00.680 --> 01:37:04.800
you being the one Senator that would
not waive the rule by unanimous consent that

1179
01:37:04.880 --> 01:37:11.279
would have required car manufacturers to keep
AM radio inside their cars, which is

1180
01:37:11.359 --> 01:37:15.720
something that's heart and soul of what
we do. And I would say this

1181
01:37:15.880 --> 01:37:18.600
that right now your voice is heard
all over Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana

1182
01:37:19.159 --> 01:37:24.359
on a big AM station. No
FM station can do that. And about

1183
01:37:24.439 --> 01:37:29.319
four years ago I was contacted by
HHS to have a pod put in and

1184
01:37:29.399 --> 01:37:33.840
our transmitter in Mason and yours truly
was selected as the designated survivor on a

1185
01:37:33.880 --> 01:37:39.600
big AM station with backup to give
messages to people that FM radio cannot do.

1186
01:37:40.239 --> 01:37:44.880
So why did you vote against?
I think every Republican not to waive

1187
01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:48.840
the rule to require AM radio and
car manufacturers. I think there's more than

1188
01:37:48.920 --> 01:37:53.479
one way to skin a cat.
I'm very sympathetic to AM radio. As

1189
01:37:53.560 --> 01:37:56.319
you know. I've been on AM
radio for years. My dad was on

1190
01:37:56.479 --> 01:37:59.800
for decades before I was on.
I know you've been involved with AM radio,

1191
01:38:00.439 --> 01:38:03.039
and there's so many great voices on
AM radio. But I want to

1192
01:38:03.159 --> 01:38:05.439
do something, and if we're going
to do something, it needs to be

1193
01:38:05.560 --> 01:38:10.960
consistent with our philosophy. The main
cars that they're taking AM radio out of

1194
01:38:11.119 --> 01:38:14.880
are electric cars. Now, people
wouldn't be buying these electric cars if we

1195
01:38:14.960 --> 01:38:18.399
weren't subsidizing them. So rather than
mandate to car manufacturers that they have AM

1196
01:38:18.520 --> 01:38:24.800
radio, why don't we quit subsidizing
electric cars that are banning and taking out

1197
01:38:24.880 --> 01:38:29.239
AM radio. So I think it
would both get the same result. But

1198
01:38:29.399 --> 01:38:32.720
I think it would be more consistent
with the Republican position not to add mandates

1199
01:38:32.720 --> 01:38:38.359
to car manufacturers and not to sort
of pick the winners and losers, but

1200
01:38:38.520 --> 01:38:43.039
to let the marketplace decide that,
but don't skew the marketplace by subsidizing cars

1201
01:38:43.079 --> 01:38:46.239
that don't have AM radio. When
I speak to car dealers, there's dozens,

1202
01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:51.159
maybe hundreds of government mandates already.
Government mandates all kinds of stuff in

1203
01:38:51.239 --> 01:38:57.399
a car, and one thing that
is a requirement for safety is communications during

1204
01:38:57.479 --> 01:39:02.199
a crisis, and that would occur
when AM radio can do what FM radio

1205
01:39:02.359 --> 01:39:05.680
can't do. Why not do both? I think to bribe somebody to buy

1206
01:39:05.720 --> 01:39:11.000
an EV where the batteries are made
in communists red China and the way the

1207
01:39:11.239 --> 01:39:14.840
materials are mined in Africa is terrible. Why not do both? When I

1208
01:39:14.960 --> 01:39:19.239
take away these seven a half thousand
dollars bribes which isn't working, and make

1209
01:39:19.359 --> 01:39:27.079
sure that farmers and truck drivers and
other Americans have the availability of getting information

1210
01:39:27.319 --> 01:39:30.359
entertainment. Senator, why not do
both? It isn't either or why not

1211
01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:34.399
do both? I think getting rid
of subsidies is consistent with the limited government

1212
01:39:34.479 --> 01:39:40.319
philosophy. Adding mandates typically is not
something Republicans have offered. Most of the

1213
01:39:40.399 --> 01:39:44.560
mandates that are on cars already or
are mandates, and most Conservatives have opposed.

1214
01:39:44.640 --> 01:39:47.319
We really haven't been for mandating what
goes into a car, what goes

1215
01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:51.359
into manufacturing. But I think the
same result can happen by doing something that

1216
01:39:51.479 --> 01:39:55.279
is consistent with our philosophy, and
that is getting rid of the subsidy.

1217
01:39:55.840 --> 01:39:59.439
The other thing to remember is is
that as times change, even tesla.

1218
01:40:00.039 --> 01:40:02.560
So, for example, if you
mandate to somebody who buys a Tesla that

1219
01:40:02.680 --> 01:40:05.840
it have an AM radio in it, I think you're more likely to get

1220
01:40:05.840 --> 01:40:10.079
them listening to you by streaming you
off a website, because the car is

1221
01:40:10.159 --> 01:40:13.840
well connected to a computer as a
real large computer screen, and the people

1222
01:40:13.920 --> 01:40:16.920
buying these cars probably aren't going to
listen to AM radio frankly on a dial,

1223
01:40:17.319 --> 01:40:20.359
but are more likely to actually listen
to it streaming. So I think

1224
01:40:20.439 --> 01:40:25.880
part of the adaptation and survival of
AM radio is getting people. You know,

1225
01:40:26.000 --> 01:40:28.840
I would say, half the time
I'm in my car, I'm listening

1226
01:40:28.960 --> 01:40:31.319
to my phone. You know,
people plug their phone in already, but

1227
01:40:31.439 --> 01:40:34.760
I do know people who plug their
phone in and stream AM radio or stream

1228
01:40:34.840 --> 01:40:40.159
podcasts. So it is coming and
the world is changing. You know.

1229
01:40:40.479 --> 01:40:44.920
It's not for lack of sympathy of
AM radio. It's basically the idea that

1230
01:40:45.039 --> 01:40:47.239
I just don't think it's consistent with
our philosophy to tell people what they have

1231
01:40:47.399 --> 01:40:53.000
to have. The bill also tells
them that if it is an additional cost

1232
01:40:53.199 --> 01:40:58.560
to block the electromatic magnetic impulse from
the battery, to have an AM signal.

1233
01:40:58.800 --> 01:41:00.640
If there's any additional costs, you're
not allowed to charge the consumer.

1234
01:41:01.159 --> 01:41:06.000
We've never really been forbidding people from
passing our cost along if it costs more

1235
01:41:06.079 --> 01:41:11.199
to protect the AM signal to let
that be passed along. And so I

1236
01:41:11.279 --> 01:41:14.640
just don't think it's consistent with the
bill. I don't think it's consistent with

1237
01:41:14.680 --> 01:41:18.600
our philosophy. What's the status now
that you've blocked by unanimous consent? Is

1238
01:41:18.720 --> 01:41:23.680
this thing going to pass anyway down
the road? It may? And the

1239
01:41:23.760 --> 01:41:27.680
thing is is people need to realize
that nobody can block anything. All I'm

1240
01:41:27.720 --> 01:41:31.560
doing is blocking the expedited vote where
there's no committee hearing and there's no real

1241
01:41:31.640 --> 01:41:35.439
debate on the floor, and it
just goes by unanimously. Very few things

1242
01:41:35.600 --> 01:41:41.520
of any kind of substance go by
unanimously, and so you know, I'd

1243
01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:45.079
like to hear both. I really
do think that even if you were to

1244
01:41:45.199 --> 01:41:48.439
mandate this, the future of AM
radio needs to be convincing people to stream

1245
01:41:48.479 --> 01:41:53.279
it on their phone and plug their
phone into their car, because more and

1246
01:41:53.399 --> 01:41:57.319
more that's going to ultimately be how
people still get their AM radio. I

1247
01:41:57.319 --> 01:42:00.680
don't know what the percentage is now, but I know most radio I think

1248
01:42:00.720 --> 01:42:04.159
I can stream your radio station on
the internet camp absolutely, but most people

1249
01:42:04.680 --> 01:42:08.920
and AM radio do not stream.
There's a few that do, but I

1250
01:42:08.960 --> 01:42:13.920
don't know the percentages. Seventy eighty
percent don't stream. I guess I could

1251
01:42:14.000 --> 01:42:17.039
stream, but I like putting in
seven hundred. And this is the only

1252
01:42:17.159 --> 01:42:20.239
way. If we have a power
grid problem, if we have an EMP

1253
01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:25.800
something that character and the power grid
goes down, the one way to communicate

1254
01:42:26.199 --> 01:42:30.439
is through a large AM signal with
backup generation of power, and we can

1255
01:42:30.520 --> 01:42:33.680
communicate. And that is a life
and death proposition. There are farmers right

1256
01:42:33.800 --> 01:42:39.319
now that are in fields listening somewhere
in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio to AM

1257
01:42:39.479 --> 01:42:43.960
radio. There's truck drivers at night
who spend their time listening to that this

1258
01:42:44.119 --> 01:42:45.800
kind of a signal. And to
say, well you can stream, well,

1259
01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:49.000
most people don't stream, and most
people are not going to stream for

1260
01:42:49.039 --> 01:42:53.319
a very long time, and they
kind of like listening to AM radio.

1261
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:56.239
And let's face it, when you
talk at the beginning with Rush Limbaugh,

1262
01:42:56.359 --> 01:43:00.319
Sean Hannity, et cetera, that
AM radio is the means of communication over

1263
01:43:00.399 --> 01:43:04.079
the top of the mainstream media.
With all their dis and misinformation, and

1264
01:43:04.199 --> 01:43:10.199
so it kind of hurt in my
heart when Senator ran Paul got up against

1265
01:43:10.720 --> 01:43:16.159
seven hundred WLW and Bill Cunningham that
Senator ran Paul voted against me. Yeah,

1266
01:43:16.800 --> 01:43:20.479
basically, I don't think it's consistent
for us who believe in limited government

1267
01:43:20.520 --> 01:43:25.119
to put mandates on manufacturers. But
doesn't mean I'm not sympathetic to the cause.

1268
01:43:25.560 --> 01:43:29.640
And so I introduced and it was
rejected. The people who want the

1269
01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:32.479
AM bill rejected my idea. And
my idea was to basically get rid of

1270
01:43:32.520 --> 01:43:35.880
the subsidence for electric cars. And
the thing is is AM radio is not

1271
01:43:35.960 --> 01:43:40.560
going away tomorrow. If you're a
farmer, most farmers have a gas truck,

1272
01:43:41.039 --> 01:43:43.640
you know, and gas trucks are
still going to have AM radio.

1273
01:43:43.720 --> 01:43:46.279
There's nobody really talking about getting rid
of AM radio and the gas trucks.

1274
01:43:46.680 --> 01:43:49.840
So I think that there's going to
be a long time. But what we

1275
01:43:49.960 --> 01:43:55.439
should do is really work hard not
to be subsidizing something that punishes an industry.

1276
01:43:55.800 --> 01:43:58.680
So I'm against the subsidies, with
or without the AM problem, but

1277
01:43:58.760 --> 01:44:01.960
particularly because the AMB I think we
should be getting rid of the subsidies.

1278
01:44:02.000 --> 01:44:05.039
Plus we don't have money, and
it's really not fair for people who are

1279
01:44:05.039 --> 01:44:09.960
buying one hundred thousand dollars, you
know, expensive electric car to be subsidized

1280
01:44:09.960 --> 01:44:12.880
by the guy who can only hold
a ford to twenty five thousand dollars car.

1281
01:44:13.399 --> 01:44:15.760
So it's never been really fair to
subsidize these electric vehicles. And it's

1282
01:44:15.760 --> 01:44:20.079
particularly not fair since it's subsidizing vehicles
that won't have AM radio in them.

1283
01:44:20.479 --> 01:44:25.079
But I think even in that small
marketplace it's about one or two percent of

1284
01:44:25.119 --> 01:44:30.000
the cars or electric cars. I
think really, rather than the mandate,

1285
01:44:30.119 --> 01:44:33.760
part of the emphasis of AM radio
should be advertising to those people the ability

1286
01:44:33.800 --> 01:44:36.319
to stream. Because you're right,
the farmer's not going to be out there

1287
01:44:36.359 --> 01:44:41.000
streaming on your website. But the
one or two percent that have electric cars,

1288
01:44:41.039 --> 01:44:44.560
you have a chance of getting them
if instead of beating them over the

1289
01:44:44.640 --> 01:44:47.279
head and forcing them to have AM
radio, you try to advertise to them

1290
01:44:47.399 --> 01:44:51.000
that they can get AM radio through
streaming. It's a small market now,

1291
01:44:51.159 --> 01:44:55.359
but it may well be a market
that grows over time. Senator, I

1292
01:44:55.479 --> 01:44:59.840
too good personal because I've been doing
this for forty years now. I just

1293
01:45:00.279 --> 01:45:03.720
I'm beginning of my forty first year
in radio. At one place, which

1294
01:45:03.840 --> 01:45:08.479
is AM radio, and AM radio
in the beginning was the only radio.

1295
01:45:08.640 --> 01:45:13.239
FM came along. Now FM is
having more difficulties than AM, and streaming

1296
01:45:13.399 --> 01:45:15.119
is going to happen at some point, whether it's five, ten or fifteen

1297
01:45:15.199 --> 01:45:19.479
years, We're going to have maybe
have evs that makes sense in fifteen to

1298
01:45:19.600 --> 01:45:24.720
twenty years, hopefully not to benefit
communists right in China. But when one

1299
01:45:24.760 --> 01:45:29.520
of my favorite Senator Ran Paul comes
at me and says I want to I

1300
01:45:29.640 --> 01:45:34.079
want to eliminate AM radio from car
manufacturers, can you understand how those of

1301
01:45:34.199 --> 01:45:39.239
us in this business, the talk
radio titans around America, are kind of

1302
01:45:39.279 --> 01:45:43.680
pissed off at that. Well,
you know, I think it's mischaracterizing my

1303
01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:46.640
position to say that I want to
eliminate AM radio from cars. I actually

1304
01:45:46.720 --> 01:45:49.319
would like to keep AM radio in
cars, and the way I would do

1305
01:45:49.439 --> 01:45:53.600
it is in a way consistent with
our philosophy, and that would be get

1306
01:45:53.720 --> 01:45:57.560
rid of the subsidies that are given
to electric cars. But I don't think

1307
01:45:57.640 --> 01:46:00.520
mandates is part of our philosophy.
I mean, we've spent years saying we're

1308
01:46:00.520 --> 01:46:02.000
not going to be the people who
pick winners and losers. We're not going

1309
01:46:02.079 --> 01:46:05.680
to get involved with telling people what
to manufacture. We're not going to give

1310
01:46:05.720 --> 01:46:09.960
subsidies to things we like and not
give subsidies to things we don't like.

1311
01:46:10.439 --> 01:46:13.960
So actually, I think I'm taking
the consistent position that I've always taken is

1312
01:46:14.000 --> 01:46:17.359
that I'm frankly not for mandates on
business, even for mandates that I would

1313
01:46:17.520 --> 01:46:19.960
like, you know, I mean, so, I don't think there's anything,

1314
01:46:20.239 --> 01:46:24.560
if anything, I think people would
be and should be proud of the

1315
01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:28.720
fact that I'm not changing my principles
just because it happens to be an industry

1316
01:46:28.760 --> 01:46:30.960
I like. There's no question I'm
a big fan of AM radio, always

1317
01:46:31.000 --> 01:46:34.880
have been. But at the same
time, I can't be for mandating things

1318
01:46:34.920 --> 01:46:40.199
to manufacture since I've spent a career
saying I'm not for government telling business what

1319
01:46:40.319 --> 01:46:43.000
to do. Let's move on to
two other issues. I'll come back to

1320
01:46:43.039 --> 01:46:46.560
AM radio in about two minutes.
Right now, we're told that American interest

1321
01:46:46.640 --> 01:46:51.000
in you consense. But please tell
me it's true that it appears to be

1322
01:46:51.119 --> 01:46:57.000
some softening with Biden about the southern
border. To have a functioning country,

1323
01:46:57.039 --> 01:46:59.760
we got to have a border.
Are you going to stand firm on the

1324
01:47:00.039 --> 01:47:05.079
issue of no foreign AID until we
take care of America's southern border. Without

1325
01:47:05.199 --> 01:47:08.960
question. You know, my oath
of office is to our country, not

1326
01:47:09.079 --> 01:47:13.119
to other countries. We don't have
money to be sending overseas. I did

1327
01:47:13.239 --> 01:47:16.000
consent on the Israeli EID if it
was paid for by taking away from the

1328
01:47:16.199 --> 01:47:19.680
RS. This was Speaker Johnson's position
in the beginning, and I hope it

1329
01:47:19.720 --> 01:47:24.439
will remain in his position that the
Israel AID is separate from Ukraine AID and

1330
01:47:24.600 --> 01:47:28.520
it's paid for by taking the money
from the RS. And with regard to

1331
01:47:28.600 --> 01:47:31.319
sending, you know, tens of
billions more to Ukraine, I've drawn the

1332
01:47:31.399 --> 01:47:35.199
line. I can't vote for any
more money it's being sent to Ukraine because

1333
01:47:35.880 --> 01:47:40.279
we've sent them more than the country's
entire GDP. We've sent them over one

1334
01:47:40.319 --> 01:47:44.199
hundred and ten billion dollars. They're
using it to subsidize small business, they're

1335
01:47:44.199 --> 01:47:48.880
paying their government pensions with this thing. And the bottom line is that we

1336
01:47:49.079 --> 01:47:53.159
just don't have the money. We're
borrowing the money we sent, don't have

1337
01:47:53.239 --> 01:47:57.479
the money. We're broke. Thirty
four trillion in the next five years is

1338
01:47:57.520 --> 01:48:00.840
going to be thirty trillion, thirty
trillion, and it's a billion here and

1339
01:48:00.920 --> 01:48:05.239
a billionaire is certainly we're talking about
some money. It is ridiculous when you

1340
01:48:05.399 --> 01:48:10.079
talk to McConnell and you speak to
Schumer, and maybe if somebody can talk

1341
01:48:10.159 --> 01:48:13.920
to Biden, if he's up yet, well what do you do with the

1342
01:48:14.039 --> 01:48:16.760
issue of the offset to spend the
money? But we have to get rid

1343
01:48:16.800 --> 01:48:20.000
of eighty seven thousand IRS agents.
We got to do this, got to

1344
01:48:20.039 --> 01:48:23.119
do that. Do you have a
sense it's a deal to be made in

1345
01:48:23.159 --> 01:48:27.920
the next week. You know,
it's interesting that they swear that they won't

1346
01:48:28.000 --> 01:48:30.359
trade the RS money, you know, for the Israel Aid or for the

1347
01:48:30.479 --> 01:48:35.159
Ukraine Aid. But apparently the handshake
deal that was made between McCarthy and Biden

1348
01:48:35.239 --> 01:48:39.560
over raising the debt ceiling, they've
already had a handshake deal to use that

1349
01:48:39.800 --> 01:48:44.159
RS money to increase welfare spending because
the Democrats thought that the debt ceialing deal

1350
01:48:44.199 --> 01:48:46.680
didn't give them enough welfare spending.
So it's interesting that they say, oh,

1351
01:48:46.760 --> 01:48:50.159
we'll never give up on this RS
money. They're already willing to trade

1352
01:48:50.199 --> 01:48:56.119
it for different welfare programs that they'refore
and it is real money and it does

1353
01:48:56.239 --> 01:49:00.399
make a difference. So no,
I think the one with Israel is reasonable

1354
01:49:00.520 --> 01:49:03.159
if it's paid for. The other
would be less objectionable if it's paid for.

1355
01:49:03.640 --> 01:49:06.840
But nobody's talking about paying for it. They're talking about trying to trade

1356
01:49:08.399 --> 01:49:11.640
border security, which I am for
border security. I think we shouldn't let

1357
01:49:11.640 --> 01:49:14.279
anybody in illegally. I think they
all should be put right back on the

1358
01:49:14.319 --> 01:49:16.079
other side of the river. Yeah, the only thing that was working down

1359
01:49:16.159 --> 01:49:19.680
there was remain in Mexico. But
people have to realize that they think that

1360
01:49:19.760 --> 01:49:23.640
there's going to be a negotiated deal
that's going to work, none of it

1361
01:49:23.720 --> 01:49:27.119
works unless it has remained in Mexico, and that takes cooperation with Mexico.

1362
01:49:27.640 --> 01:49:30.119
No reason we got that was because
Trump played hardball with him, and that

1363
01:49:30.279 --> 01:49:33.960
was one of the beauties of having
Trump as president. He was unafraid.

1364
01:49:34.199 --> 01:49:38.720
He stared down the Mexican president,
and the Mexican president agreed to keep him.

1365
01:49:38.720 --> 01:49:41.680
But we got a new Mexican president
down there. I don't think Biden's

1366
01:49:41.680 --> 01:49:44.479
going to stare anybody in the face
because he's got to look through his eyelids

1367
01:49:44.520 --> 01:49:46.359
that are half closed. So I
don't think it's going to happen. But

1368
01:49:47.279 --> 01:49:50.720
so I'm not really going to vote
for anny fake border security, and I'm

1369
01:49:50.720 --> 01:49:55.239
definitely not voting for any money for
Ukraine that's not paid for, so it's

1370
01:49:55.439 --> 01:49:58.720
very unlikely they'll get me on any
of that foreign aid bill. Lastly,

1371
01:49:58.840 --> 01:50:01.560
have you ever voted on unanimous consented? Have you ever in your time in

1372
01:50:01.640 --> 01:50:08.279
the Senate have you ever voted to
waive that? Dozens of times almost every

1373
01:50:08.359 --> 01:50:12.560
day there's something. I've already discussed
four things today. So unanimous consent is

1374
01:50:13.399 --> 01:50:16.960
sometimes like for a resolution. So
if we have a resolution saying we congratulate

1375
01:50:17.039 --> 01:50:23.680
Bill Cunningham for forty two years in
radio and for his service to the Constitution,

1376
01:50:24.119 --> 01:50:27.560
that's a resolution that's not really legislation. Those pass all the time by

1377
01:50:27.640 --> 01:50:32.279
unanimous consent. Significant legislation rarely does, and one person can't block it.

1378
01:50:32.399 --> 01:50:34.720
What they do is just mean it
goes to the normal channels, and the

1379
01:50:34.800 --> 01:50:39.239
normal channels are that it takes a
few votes, and it takes several days

1380
01:50:39.279 --> 01:50:42.359
to pass something. And they do
have quite a few coach sponsors on this,

1381
01:50:42.479 --> 01:50:45.720
I think it's still wrong and inconsistent
with our philosophy. I think there's

1382
01:50:45.720 --> 01:50:48.039
a reasonable chance they probably will pass
at some point. And lastly, Senator

1383
01:50:48.079 --> 01:50:51.800
I would say this, there's a
governmental interest. I'm a capitalist. I've

1384
01:50:51.840 --> 01:50:57.079
owned businesses, I continue to own
some businesses. I love American business.

1385
01:50:57.159 --> 01:51:00.479
That is the great equalizer. However, there's a government interest in having AM

1386
01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:04.880
radio functioning, especially the big ones, because if the power grid doesn't exist,

1387
01:51:05.199 --> 01:51:10.159
if computers do not work, if
cars do not run, we have

1388
01:51:10.279 --> 01:51:14.279
the capability of getting messages out to
the American people as to where to go,

1389
01:51:14.479 --> 01:51:18.159
what to do the circumstances like a
red dawn situation on and only AM

1390
01:51:18.319 --> 01:51:23.680
radio does that. You're being hurt
right now in northern Tennessee and Ohio,

1391
01:51:23.840 --> 01:51:27.039
no FM station can do that.
And so when you did what you did,

1392
01:51:27.119 --> 01:51:30.279
that was a heart that was a
stabbing to my heart. I'm thinking,

1393
01:51:30.359 --> 01:51:32.439
this is my guy, just my
home state of Kentucky, and this

1394
01:51:32.600 --> 01:51:36.239
guy's trying to destroy AM radio,
And I know I had to talk to

1395
01:51:36.279 --> 01:51:40.560
you because that can't be the case. You got to stand with the American

1396
01:51:40.640 --> 01:51:44.560
people. You realize, you realize
it's not because I had an alternative that

1397
01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:47.800
is probably goes more to the crux
of the problem, and getting rid of

1398
01:51:47.840 --> 01:51:51.920
the subsidies basically would eliminate the problem. Then you wouldn't have to have mand

1399
01:51:51.920 --> 01:51:56.039
aids. If you didn't have the
cars being subsized, nobody would be buying

1400
01:51:56.079 --> 01:51:59.000
these electric cars, No, and
they wouldn't be pressure on AM radio.

1401
01:51:59.319 --> 01:52:03.000
So all I'm saying is by opposing
one method of doing this doesn't mean I'm

1402
01:52:03.000 --> 01:52:05.760
against AM radio. It just means
I'm for a different method of getting the

1403
01:52:05.840 --> 01:52:10.680
same result. But I think this
method, I think many of your listeners

1404
01:52:10.760 --> 01:52:14.600
would probably agree, is more consistent
with the limited government philosophy. And when

1405
01:52:14.640 --> 01:52:16.840
it goes through all the stuff you
senators go through, are you going to

1406
01:52:16.960 --> 01:52:21.800
vote yes on AM radio. I'll
vote yes to get rid of the subsidies

1407
01:52:21.920 --> 01:52:25.960
to electric cars that get rid of
AM radio. I think that's the best

1408
01:52:25.960 --> 01:52:30.840
solution. Do you love AM radio? You know I do. I've been

1409
01:52:30.920 --> 01:52:35.079
on AM radio and going back a
decade and my father probably two or three

1410
01:52:35.159 --> 01:52:40.000
decades. It's a great long format. It's a way to have a discussion,

1411
01:52:40.039 --> 01:52:43.119
a full discussion like we've just had
that we probably couldn't have on television

1412
01:52:43.520 --> 01:52:46.640
because the interviews aren't as long.
So no great fan of AM radio.

1413
01:52:46.760 --> 01:52:51.239
Tomorrow, I'll be on with a
gentleman who is I believe eighty seven years

1414
01:52:51.279 --> 01:52:56.399
old and he's been doing it for
several decades, also in a small community

1415
01:52:56.479 --> 01:53:00.520
of about six thousand people on an
AM radio station that my father in law

1416
01:53:00.560 --> 01:53:03.960
used to work for. So nothing
but sympathy, Nothing but sympathy for allowing

1417
01:53:04.000 --> 01:53:08.119
the message to get out, but
just different ways to skin a cat.

1418
01:53:08.239 --> 01:53:11.359
Because we disagree on the solution doesn't
mean we're not on the same side.

1419
01:53:11.720 --> 01:53:15.239
Well, I hope AM radio is
here long after both of us are gone.

1420
01:53:15.600 --> 01:53:18.279
And I sense in your heart and
soul you understand the value of AM

1421
01:53:18.439 --> 01:53:24.039
radio and the role it can play
in governmental activity plus private enterprise. Once

1422
01:53:24.079 --> 01:53:28.079
again, Senator Ran Paul, thank
you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

1423
01:53:28.159 --> 01:53:30.920
Senator, thank you, Thank you, and God bless America. Let's

1424
01:53:30.920 --> 01:53:35.039
continue with more Bill Cunningham, the
Great American, live with you every Sunday

1425
01:53:35.119 --> 01:53:45.760
night, My Bully cunning Him the
Great American once again. A happy New

1426
01:53:45.840 --> 01:53:49.279
Year in the Eastern time zone.
We've gotten there. I have one wish,

1427
01:53:49.880 --> 01:53:57.399
one primary wish for twenty twenty four
is to change the national policies that

1428
01:53:57.520 --> 01:54:01.399
have brought America to its knees,
whether it's Southern border crime in the streets,

1429
01:54:01.720 --> 01:54:05.279
whether it's US military stress, all
over the world, two trillion dollars

1430
01:54:05.319 --> 01:54:11.279
an annual deficits thirty four trillion dollars
in a debt. I just pray to

1431
01:54:11.359 --> 01:54:15.159
God. I pray to God Almighty. We can make it. And I'd

1432
01:54:15.279 --> 01:54:21.439
rather have chaos with Trump in office
in eleven months than chaos with the liberal

1433
01:54:21.479 --> 01:54:27.039
Democrat there once again. Happy New
Year, twenty twenty four, Go Cunningham,

1434
01:54:27.079 --> 01:54:28.159
with you every Sunday.
