Welcome this glorious Sunday 10 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.920 night in the in the nation. All hell's breaking loose 11 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.960 everywhere I find myself from Southwest Florida touring Fort Myers Beach. 12 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.920 We're going to talk about the recovery of FEMA with 13 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.560 that later on, which is terrible. I look about what's 14 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.079 happening in Pacific, palisides, palisides in LA it's terrible. I 15 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.040 look at what's happening continuing to happen in Asheville, North Carolina. 16 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.879 It's terrible. Everywhere I look, it's terrible. The weather's terrible. 17 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.000 It's just terrible about what's happening. One thing I found 18 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:27.840 amazing is CBS Evening News and CBS Face the Nation 19 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.200 and also sixty minutes that hit pieces constantly on Donald Trump, 20 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.599 Mark or Rubio, etc. And it got so weird This 21 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.599 morning on Face the Nation, when CBS News anchor Margaret 22 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.840 Brennan had nothing to say, Secretary of State Rubo brutally 23 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.000 counted her her weak argument that the Nazis. Whenever, whenever 24 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.239 you bring up the Nazis or Adolf Hitler, you lose 25 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:54.400 the argument. But CBS News anchor Margaret Brenner said, the 26 00:01:54.519 --> 00:02:00.200 Nazis somehow quote weaponized free speech to conduct a genocide. 27 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.799 And I'm watching it this morning. I replayed it on 28 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.239 YouTube about an hour ago in preparation for tonight's show, 29 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:09.719 and I said, you got to be kidding me. So 30 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:16.439 Margaret Brennan is somehow saying that Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany, 31 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.759 had free speech. You could say what you wanted and 32 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.240 the Nazis would knock on your door, but that he 33 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:27.520 somehow weaponized free speech to conduct a genocide against mainly 34 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.439 Jewish Germans and so many others, and one of the 35 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.199 worst crimes in human history was conducted. And I'm watching 36 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.919 this exchange on Face the Nation and she's using that 37 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.599 as an example to criticize JD. Vance's speech before the 38 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.280 Munich Security Conference on Wednesday or Thursday, and she's using 39 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.400 this to kind of undermine Donald Trump and Marco Rubio 40 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:56.520 by saying that weaponize free speech is somehow bad. The 41 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:01.560 Nazis used free speech and I'm scratching my head, and so, 42 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.159 Danny Gleeson, if you have that ready, It's about two 43 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.840 minutes long. And I can't imagine this being somehow acceptable 44 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.560 to those running CBS News when one of their main anchors, 45 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:18.719 Margaret Brennan is kind of criticizing Marco Rubio and JD. 46 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:24.240 Vance And is she indirectly complimenting Adolf Hitler in Nazi 47 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.120 Germany quote, weaponized free speech to conduct a genocide. Danny, boy, 48 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.520 if you're ready for this, about two minutes long, hit it. 49 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:33.639 And so I think if anyone's angry about his work, 50 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.240 they don't have to agree with him, but to be 51 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:36.479 angry about it, I think. 52 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:37.599 Actually makes this point. 53 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.719 I thought it was actually a pretty historic speech. Whether 54 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.639 you agree with him or not, I think the valid 55 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.840 points he's making to Europe is we are concerned that 56 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.199 the true values that we share, the values that bind 57 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.520 us together with Europe are things like free speech and 58 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.120 democracy and our shared history in winning two World wars 59 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.120 and defeating Soviet communism and the like. These are the 60 00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.360 values that we shared in common, and in that quote 61 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.919 where we fought again and things like censorship and oppression 62 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.000 and so forth. And when you see backsliding and you 63 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.639 raise that, that's a very valid concern. We can't tell 64 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.400 them how to run their countries. He's simply expressed in 65 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.479 a speech his view of it, which a lot of 66 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.199 people frankly share. And I thought he said a lot 67 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.040 of things in that speech that needed to be said, 68 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.439 and honestly, I don't know why anybody would be upset 69 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.079 about it. People are allowed, you know, you don't have 70 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.480 to agree on someone's speech. I happen to agree with 71 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.839 a lot of what he said, but you don't have 72 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.399 to agree with someone's speech to at least appreciate the 73 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:31.680 fact they have a right to say it, and then 74 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.759 you should listen to it and see whether those criticisms 75 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.959 are valid. I assure you the United States has come 76 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.519 under withering criticism on many occasions from many leaders in Europe, 77 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.160 and we don't go around throwing temper tantrums about it. 78 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.600 Well, he was standing in a country where free speech 79 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.000 was weaponized to kentuct a genocide, and he met with 80 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.040 the head of a political party that has far right 81 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.360 views and some historic ties. 82 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.000 To extreme groups. 83 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:00.360 Hoops. 84 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.680 The context of that was changing the tone of it. 85 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.120 And you know that that the censorships disagree with specifically 86 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:10.800 about the right. 87 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.560 Now I have to disagree with you. The free speech 88 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.920 was not used to conduct the genocide. The genocide was 89 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.079 conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also 90 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.199 be genocidal because they hated Jews, and they hated minorities, 91 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.959 and they hated those that they had a list of 92 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.720 people they hated, but primarily the Jews. There was no 93 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.120 free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was 94 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.879 also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were a sole 95 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.480 and only party that governed that country. So that's not 96 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.160 an accurate reflection of history. 97 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.639 I also think it's wrong. 98 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:40.959 Again, I go back to the point of his speech. 99 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.759 The point of his speech was basically that there is 100 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.560 an erosion in free speech and in tolerance for opposing 101 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.879 points of view within Europe, and that's of concern. 102 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:50.560 Because that is eroding. 103 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.399 It's not an erosion of your military capabilities. That's not 104 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.720 an erosion of your economic standing. That's an erosion of 105 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.959 the actual values that bind us together in its transit 106 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.319 land of Hunanon that everybody talks about. And I think 107 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.920 allies and friends and partners that have worked together now 108 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.480 for eighty years should be able to speak frankly to 109 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.560 one another in open forums without being offended, insulted, or upset. 110 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.000 And I spoke to foreign ministers from multiple countries throughout Europe. 111 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.120 Many of them probably didn't like the speech. 112 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.120 I didn't agree with it, but they were continuing to 113 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.639 engage with us on all sorts of issues that unite us. 114 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.319 So again, at the end of the day, I think 115 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.600 that you know, people give all. That is a form 116 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.160 in which you're supposed to be inviting people. 117 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.319 To get so I kind of want you to understand that. 118 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:37.120 Margaret Brennan interrupted our Secretary of State with the claim 119 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.759 that Vance was quote standing in a country where free 120 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.720 speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide. Does she believe 121 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.079 that free speech was available in Nazi Germany the nineteen 122 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:54.319 thirties and using Hitler and the Nazis to criticize JD. Vance, 123 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.439 shall we say, is a bit beyond the pale now. JD. 124 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:04.600 Vance also made the comment about abortion, which is a 125 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.800 sacrament in most of Europe. In fact, he talked about 126 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.000 a pro life Englishman convicted for praying outside of an 127 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.360 abortion clinic. This guy he in his own mind, he 128 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.959 was kneeling outside of an abortion clinic in England. His 129 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.519 name is Adam Smith Connor. He was convicted in October 130 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:27.680 for simply praying in his own head near an abortion facility, 131 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.120 and he was arrested by the police. He was convicted 132 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.560 of kneeling outside of an abortion clinic, saying nothing, just kneeling, 133 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.800 given a two year conditional release in prison and nine 134 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.759 thousand pounds fine and more. And so jd. Van stood 135 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:48.319 up and said he kind of gave an American speech 136 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.959 to the Munich Security Conference, saying, you know, there's several 137 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.639 principles upon which we can rely. Number one, censorship by 138 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.199 the government is bad. Well, the Europeans think it's good good, 139 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.040 and the Democratic Party thinks it's good. Censorship is good, 140 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.639 But I think JD. Vance and Donald Trump ran against censorship. 141 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:14.199 Also in Europe, they have government weaponized against their own citizens. 142 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.759 You may have seen sixty Minutes tonight. The second episode 143 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:22.040 dealt with German police and prosecutors who troll the internet 144 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:27.079 to find individuals who are criticizing other Germans, or criticizing 145 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.600 unbridled immigration, or saying something that could be considered insulting 146 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.360 to another, knocking on the door at six o'clock in 147 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:38.120 the morning, grabbing their phones and all their iPads and devices, 148 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:44.840 and then possibly prosecuting them for displeasurable conduct on the internet. 149 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.879 They have no right to freedom of speech in Germany, 150 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.440 as we do in this kind. We have the right 151 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.919 under the First Amendment to speak. And you may know 152 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.879 that hate speech is protected by the United States Constitution. 153 00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:59.879 The big case came out of Ohio in nineteen six 154 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.679 denying Brandenburg versus Ohio, in which the United States Supreme 155 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.960 Court said, what fifty five years ago, fifty six years ago, 156 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:12.000 that terrible speech, hate speech is all permitted. It's not good, 157 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.679 but it's okay constitutionally, as long as you're not calling 158 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.279 for violence of one type or another. And so here 159 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.080 you got JD. Vance, who is a Catholic who went 160 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.039 through the process and was baptized in twenty nineteen saying 161 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:32.279 to the Europeans there's too much censorship in Europe. There's 162 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.879 no freedom of expression, as demonstrated by a man outside 163 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.440 of an abortion clinic in Europe, that the government is 164 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.399 weaponized against their own people. Jade Vans also talked about 165 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.000 open borders, a million Syrians flooding into Germany, not assimilating, 166 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.600 and have no go zones where police can't go in 167 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.360 certain parts of German cities or French cities. And also 168 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.840 the liberal media only gives one side of the story, 169 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.879 thinking to myself, isn't he talking about the United States 170 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.399 of America. Didn't we have an election on this. Wasn't 171 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.240 there massive censorship by Twitter and Facebook and the mainstream 172 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.279 media against conservative and conservative values in America? Wasn't the 173 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:18.240 DOJ weaponized not just against Donald Trump, but his attorneys, 174 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:23.480 the White House Chief of Staff, consultants, and those who 175 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:28.200 protested outside of killing centers called abortion clinics. That somehow 176 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.919 the DOJ would go after individuals, including grandmothers, and lock 177 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.759 them up because they protested peaceably in front of abortion 178 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.120 clinics in America. Isn't it true that we've had open 179 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.639 borders with fourteen or twenty million illegals coming into the country. 180 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.000 Answer to that question, up and down is absolutely. He 181 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.559 could have made that speech in Duluth, Minnesota, or in 182 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.159 the Tuscaloosa, Alabama who just lost to Auburn in basketball, 183 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.080 could have made that speech anywhere, But in America, we 184 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.279 made a turn, didn't We didn't. We say, we don't 185 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:06.000 want censorship in the media. We don't want PBS to 186 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.320 be funded to give us a particular left wing, far 187 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.240 left viewpoint, that we don't want the Department of Justice 188 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:17.320 WEAPONIYS to attack Joe Biden's political opponents. That we don't 189 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.600 want open borders. We want a lot of immigration to 190 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.360 come into this country, but it's got to be legal immigration, 191 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.240 not illegal immigration. And we went with the media to 192 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.600 be more more fair. But then you know, I listen 193 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.759 to my good friend and your Sean Hannity when it 194 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.279 comes to that issue. At least in twenty eight, twenty twelve, 195 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.559 the media died in this country and would not report 196 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:42.759 on facts that their left wing liberal bias would maybe 197 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.159 help John McCain or Mitt Romney or Donald Trump, and 198 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:49.080 the media didn't report it. So everything that he said 199 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:53.720 in the Munich Security Conference that offended European leaders in 200 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.840 a failed society called Western Europe could be applied to America. 201 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:02.919 The churches in Western Europe are unoccupied. They're vacant. There 202 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.679 is no functioning economy in which there's new processes being 203 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:10.759 developed in factive, Google or Microsoft or Apple comes into Europe. 204 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.200 The regulators try to regulate American businesses out of business. 205 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.759 There's certainly the collapse of the so called nuclear family happening, 206 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.799 which is happening also in America. And they have so 207 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.360 many immigrants inside Western Europe that have not been assimilated. 208 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.759 The most popular birth name in England is now Mohammed. 209 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:34.000 So he said in Europe, the same kind of campaign 210 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.360 speech that seem to work here. 211 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:35.960 Now. 212 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.440 Secondly, give you an idea where the mainstream media is. 213 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.720 CNN White House correspondent, he has her own show. Caitlin 214 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:51.120 Collins on CNN posted a tweet in support of CEO 215 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:56.120 killer Luigi Maggione's defense fund, and I read the story 216 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.799 and I said, this can't be true. Then I read 217 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:02.080 her tweet and she's since taken it down. But what 218 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:06.039 could she possibly have been thinking that? The White House 219 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:10.440 correspondent for CNN posted a tweet linking to the defense 220 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:15.679 fund for accused murderer Luigi Manngioni, who murdered in cold blood, 221 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.799 the father of three CEO Brian Thompson honor about December 222 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:24.120 the fourth of last year. How is it possible she 223 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.279 could assist in the raising of money for an assassination 224 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:32.639 of this type, which sends shock waves through the healthcare community. 225 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.200 And this was a person who's perceived to be a 226 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:40.399 rising superstar. When it comes to CNN, they want to 227 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.879 get rid of Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper and go 228 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.840 with Caitlyn Collins, who came out of shall we say, 229 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:49.519 the liberal progressive arm of the Democrat Party. And right 230 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.039 now she's got egg all over her face, very expensive 231 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.879 egg on her face, because she seems to promote raising 232 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.360 money for a murderer, a cold blood, a killer who 233 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.159 committed his I'm on video and he foretold her what 234 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.679 he was going to do weeks in advance. And sadly, 235 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.159 a lot of left wing liberal Americans think it is 236 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.840 wrong to do that, the wrong to kill Brian Thompson. 237 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:13.840 But let's face, you can understand why he did it. 238 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.159 That's another way of saying it was justified, which is despicable. 239 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.360 So I think CNN needs to call her into the 240 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.759 office and talk to her about what she's doing. So 241 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.480 let's set up tonight's big show and lastly, sixty minutes. 242 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.679 I watched it tonight. The first two segments. The first 243 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.159 segment dealt with attacking Donald Trump waste, fraud and abuse, 244 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.320 that he doesn't have the power to manage the executive 245 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.440 branch of government, and that was by Scott Pelley. And 246 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.840 then the second part was about complimenting, shall we say, 247 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.519 the Germans for taking down critics on the internet because 248 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.159 Germany has no First Amendment right of individual citizens. You 249 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.960 see America as the only country in the world and 250 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:56.480 which citizens are given rights by God, defended and protected 251 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.720 by government. I think about that every country in the 252 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:04.519 world have rights only because they're given by government. But 253 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:09.519 in America seventeen seventy six seventeen eighty seven Constitution, we 254 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.320 have rights, human rights given to us by God. And 255 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.960 it is the role of government to protect and defend 256 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.960 those individual rights against those who would obliterate them. And 257 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.480 it should not be the government obliterating our rights. Would 258 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.399 you agree? But in Germany and throughout most of the world, 259 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:29.200 rights given can be rights taken away. For rights given 260 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.399 by God Almighty cannot be taken away by government. And 261 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:37.679 that's the essentral part. So later on we have Israel 262 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.039 Ellis coming up on the terrible circumstance happening now in 263 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.600 the Middle East. Marco Ruby was over there. He was 264 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.919 over there earlier today and yesterday, I think, coming back 265 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.840 tonight or tomorrow Monday to discuss with the President his 266 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:54.840 conversations with Benjamin Nintinyahu. Also later on as Daniel Greenfield 267 00:15:55.480 --> 00:16:00.559 of front Page mag dot Com Great Website. Also later 268 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.639 on as Steve molloy, you know, when I find myself 269 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.200 in southwest Florida touring at Fort Myer's Beach, which remains 270 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.360 in terrible condition, the government cares more about Zikistan, and 271 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.799 it cares about Pacific Palisades, or cares more about Ashville, 272 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:20.039 North Carolina, or Fort Myers Beach building other countries, other bridges, 273 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.039 but not helping our own people. That's called us AID. 274 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:27.279 But nonetheless he's going to address himself to that. Plus 275 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.399 later on is doctor Suzanne Barcher, who's done massive studies 276 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:34.279 on what's wrong with eighth graders and why they can't read. 277 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.919 And you might recall in the Bush forty three term 278 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.279 there was a fourth grade guarantee that every public school 279 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.919 kid was going to learn to read, you learn to read, 280 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.799 and then you read to learn what happened to that? 281 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.960 Promising more so, let's continue if the line becomes available. 282 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.759 Eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven 283 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.399 Bill cunning in The Great American with You Every Sunday 284 00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:05.319 Night by Billy Cunningham, and I want to set up 285 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.240 later tonight what's going to go on? But I just 286 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.720 find it amazing that the similarities between a failed Europe 287 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:16.759 called out by JD Vance on Thursday is exactly the 288 00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:21.440 same campaign speech given by him and by Donald Trump 289 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:27.359 previous to the November fifth campaign about a weaponized justice system, 290 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.839 about the lack of freedom of speech, about a committed media, 291 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.960 and about a government far distant and discreete completely out 292 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:38.799 of control. Because exactly why we elected Donald Trump with 293 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.680 seventy seven million votes to change it. And after the 294 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.440 first four weeks he's done a fabulous job, despite the 295 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:50.240 protestations of CBS's Margaret Brennan, who kind of compared Donald 296 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.279 Trump and JD Vance to Adolf Hitler or Nazi Germany 297 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.440 one of the worst moments ever faced the nation this morning, 298 00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.480 and then also went after Donald Trump for wanting to 299 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.279 get rid of waste fraud and abuse. Right now, Doze 300 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.359 and Elon Musk and Trump is saving us up to 301 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.720 this point billions of dollars. In fact, i'd point out 302 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:13.440 to you tonight that the Government Accounting Office the GAO 303 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:16.880 said about a year and a half ago at the 304 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.839 end of the Biden regime that every year listen to 305 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:25.079 this number. According to GAO, under Joe Biden, between two 306 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.759 hundred and fifty the five hundred billion dollars every year 307 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.160 was wasted by the federal government through one of the 308 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:38.240 agencies or another, mainly in defense, Social Security checks, disability checks, 309 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.400 Department of Education, etc. And that is in numbers from Doze, 310 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.240 Elon Musk or me or Sean Hanniteer or Donald Trump 311 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.160 that came out of the GAO report of about a 312 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.720 year and a half ago that between two hundred and 313 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.880 fifty that five hundred billion dollars every year is wasted 314 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.319 by the federal government over the four years then of 315 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.119 the Biden re regime. That was well over a trillion 316 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.400 dollars that was wasted that we paid in money to 317 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.559 the federal government that should not have been paid. So 318 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:09.799 let's continue with more. Our first guest tonight's going to 319 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:14.480 be Daniel Greenfield, our frontpagemag dot com about DEI and 320 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:18.279 so much more, and we'll go from there. But big 321 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:20.240 show planned tonight. Stay tuned with us for the next 322 00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.799 three hours. And I love what I do. I love 323 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:25.319 being with you, and let's do it together. This is 324 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:28.759 about my seventeenth year with you Every Sunday night, Bill Cunningham, 325 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:36.960 the Great American, with you every Sunday Night, Billy Cunningham, 326 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:39.279 the Great America. And one of the websites I check 327 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:42.079 out every day is front Page magde dot org. And 328 00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:46.680 one of the great contributors there is Daniel Greenfield. Has 329 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:49.880 a new book out, Domestic Enemies, the Founding Father's Fight 330 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.640 against the Left, and he has a big column up 331 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.720 about several areas. I read his stuff constantly about how 332 00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.359 we are deep banking certain conservatives because of their political beliefs. Plus, 333 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.119 Daniel Greenfield's got a great column up about the equity 334 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.200 and diversity, equity and inclusion in the NBA. There was 335 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.640 so much equity and inclusion in the halftime show of 336 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.079 the Super Bowl. I thought that's a pretty good topic. 337 00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:16.559 But first of all, Daniel Greenfield, author of Domestic Enemies, 338 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.839 Welcome again, to the Bill Cunningham Show. You're also with 339 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.960 the David Horrorwitz Freedom Center, and number one explained to 340 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.200 the American people, I did not know this was a 341 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.359 thing until I saw the President a few days ago 342 00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:31.240 taking a task some of the owners of some of 343 00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.319 the big banks in this country, whether it's Bank of 344 00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.480 America or whether it's Wells Fargo, about these banks that 345 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.359 are debanking conservatives. So tell the American people, first of all, 346 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:42.039 what's going on. 347 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.279 And that's look a huge issue. It really got off 348 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:51.319 the ground after Trump won in back in twenty sixteen, 349 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.680 and the Democrats blamed that on weth existence of conservatives 350 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:01.039 having access to any kind of medium, especially with the Internet, 351 00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:04.279 and of course having access to financial services or hotels. 352 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.799 So they said about, among other things, getting banks financial 353 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.240 institutions to go ahead and cut off bank accounts for 354 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:13.680 groups they considered to be hate groups. And that was 355 00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:16.759 a pretty wide net, those being cast by organizations like 356 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:19.720 the Southern Poverty Law Center, who consludered pretty much any 357 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.599 conservative organization with normative conservative beliefs to be a hate group, 358 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:25.880 including our own, the David Harward's Freedom Center. 359 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:31.880 And so when this group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, 360 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.440 which the media considers the gold standard of declaring something 361 00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.960 to be a hate group when it is not. Can 362 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:42.440 you describe the activities of the Southern Poverty Law Center 363 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.039 that indicates they're not some independent arbiter. 364 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:50.160 Yes, so I have some personal experience with the Southern 365 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.079 Poverty Law Center. They at one point declared me to 366 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.079 be a hate group of one. I mean they declared 367 00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.240 me personally to be a hate group, and I'm one man. 368 00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.720 They also listed a number of other hate groups, including 369 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.720 a sign outside a bar and a brand of gun oil, 370 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:08.079 so their research is also top notch. There was actually 371 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:10.039 reports in the media all a time when they claimed 372 00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:11.920 that a town was small town was a hub of 373 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.359 hate because it was reportedly going to be a client 374 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:16.880 meeting at a restaurant there, which never seems to have happened. 375 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.480 But the town ended up on a hate map, and 376 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:21.960 they spent about ten years trying to get their name walking. 377 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:24.640 You know, nobody in the town had actually done anything wrong. 378 00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:27.880 So this is just how the Southern Poverty was Center operates. 379 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.960 Their bian is to basically accuse everybody they can of 380 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:35.319 hate of racism for profit, and unfortunately, we were one 381 00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:38.640 of the organizations that they also targeted, and as a result, 382 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:42.440 a number of financial solutions, including MasterCard, decided they were 383 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:47.759 going to stop processing financial transactions involving US and a 384 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:49.680 hotel that we were going to book an event at 385 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.880 the featured, among other things, Sean Spicer, Pete Heggsith some others. 386 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:57.480 People in the Trump administration were no longer able. 387 00:22:57.319 --> 00:22:57.720 To do that. 388 00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.359 And this is just an example of how the Southern 389 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:05.680 Poverty all Censor hooked up with big banks, major corporations, 390 00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:10.200 and portions of the government to effectively eliminate conservatives from 391 00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.000 the public. At least that's what they were trying to. 392 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.279 Do so Daniel Greenfield, the way the game is played 393 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.480 is the Southern Poverty Law Center, who receives generous contributions 394 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:23.200 from left wing causes, and I would think probably receives 395 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.559 government money. Almost everyone does under US AID one way 396 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.519 or another. It's incredible how much money is being handed out. 397 00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:32.920 Once you get on their list, they disseminate that list 398 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.960 all over America, especially to financial institutions, and if your 399 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:39.200 name or someone else's name, or some group is on 400 00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:43.319 their list that has little or no objective criteria at all, 401 00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:48.039 suddenly the Daniel Greenfields of the world cannot use a 402 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.720 MasterCard because the bank says you represent a hate group? 403 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:54.480 Was it hard to get off the list? How do 404 00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:58.079 you tell Bank of America or MasterCard as a Jewish 405 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.279 American that you're not part of a hate group? 406 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.400 Most of the time, you Jones, Well, we did that 407 00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:08.359 David Harward's Freedom Center. When MasterCard cut us off was 408 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.279 we managed to launch a media campaign. We got our 409 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:13.440 story out. This was quite a few years back. We 410 00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.920 were really the first organization to actually tell our d 411 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:21.039 banking story and MasterCard decided to back down. Things though, 412 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.839 definitely got worse. This was back when Trump was in 413 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:25.880 office for the first time, things got worse than the 414 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:28.759 Bide administration because back then they had to be weighed 415 00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:31.240 a little bit worried about action from the White House 416 00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:33.759 under Biden. Of course they knew the government was with them, 417 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.319 was actually pressuring financials solutions to go ahead and d 418 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.440 bank people. So we had that recourse under Trump. We 419 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:42.759 would have it again now that Trump is back in office, 420 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:47.240 but conservatives quating our organization. When we were debanked by 421 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.519 Bank of America on the Biden we had no recourse 422 00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:50.599 at all. 423 00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:52.880 About a week or ten days ago, you have a 424 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.200 column up called bring DEI to the NBA, and the 425 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.160 subtitle of your column is the NBA needs a fire 426 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.240 a hundreds of black employees and our hundreds of white ones. 427 00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.200 You're going to say there's a growing backlash to DEI, 428 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.480 but the Cleveland Cavaliers told NBC News that while other 429 00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:12.799 organizations may be moving on, the NBA team is sticking 430 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:16.519 with the racist program of DEI. And you say, in 431 00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:21.160 twenty twenty three, Cavaliers and a CEO and Nick Barlage 432 00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:24.480 vowed to tie DEI metrics to bonuses and make sure 433 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:27.799 that in their organization of the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is 434 00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:32.240 similar throughout the NBA, that DEI would be organically woven 435 00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.119 within the DNA of the culture. It's just who we are. Quote. 436 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.240 We believe that everybody in our organization, every person, every community, 437 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:43.680 is part of our diversity, equity and inclusion story. Does 438 00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:46.559 that actually mean the team The answer would be no. 439 00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.480 Explain to your column, which I thought was fabulous. 440 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:55.000 Well, the NBA is, of course all in on DEI. 441 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:58.680 They want metrics, racial metrics to the number of employees 442 00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:02.559 to hire every level, at every level of the front office, 443 00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:05.920 the very supplies I deal with, So everybody right down 444 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.720 from the people are taking out the trash to the 445 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.000 people in the front office. But of course not for 446 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:13.559 the players, because if they actually applied some of those 447 00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:15.799 same metrics, well, they'd have to get rid of hundreds 448 00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:19.359 of black players and higher hundreds of white players, bring 449 00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.720 in a lot of Latino players, a few Indian players. 450 00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.359 They'd actually have to have the numbers that resemble mark 451 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:28.960 and they do this in a variety of fields where 452 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:31.759 they stay. This is the racial breakdown. This is the 453 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:37.920 forty black people, what's in Cleveland thirty two percent white people, 454 00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.359 and this is a number of Latinos and the employees 455 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.960 have to match that organize that numbers exactly. By the way, 456 00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:46.640 the bidenministration was doing this sever with the United States military, 457 00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:49.119 but of course they want to do this with the 458 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:51.759 player basically because the majority of players are black, like 459 00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:54.079 seventy eighty percent majorities. 460 00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:58.000 It's kind of like a meritocracy, which that's the American 461 00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:02.480 waye wherever's better gets the job. There's objective criteria. Almost 462 00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.920 every job in every organization can say, well, who's got 463 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.480 a college degree, who doesn't, who shows up to work, 464 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.319 who doesn't. Who did better on the interest exam? Who didn't? 465 00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:12.799 But you make a point that thirteen of the seventeen 466 00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:16.039 players for the Cavs are black, which is about seventy 467 00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:19.400 six percent. Well, the city is forty five percent black, 468 00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:23.319 thirty six percent? Why thirteen percent Latino? And I would 469 00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:26.720 think looking at the Cavaliers games or watching the Lakers games, 470 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.319 the great majority of people in the stands are also white. 471 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.880 And so I guess meritocracy only applies on the court, 472 00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.839 but not on all the other jobs in the organization. 473 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.240 DEI doesn't apply on the court or on the field. 474 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:44.759 During the Super Bowl last Sunday, there was a halftime 475 00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:48.440 show by Kendrick Lamar that I thought was terrible. I 476 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:51.920 thought that Michael Jackson's and the princes were pretty damn good, 477 00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.799 but that's a different story. But it was terrible. There 478 00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:58.279 wasn't one white face anywhere on the field, hundreds of dancers, 479 00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:02.079 and this is DEI sent to the NFL. Roger Goodell 480 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:05.079 said in his news conference before the Super Bowl that 481 00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:10.799 the NFL embraces DEI and everything they do, and racism 482 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.519 is often in the end zones, but DEI doesn't apply 483 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.920 to the field, but it applies to everywhere else. Have 484 00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:21.319 you heard the explanation is why that's okay? I've not 485 00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:24.599 heard a good explanation from anyone, whether it's Roger Goodell 486 00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:28.880 or the NBA. The NHL is predominantly white because it's 487 00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:32.359 a meritocracy. There are black players, but whoever can put 488 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.880 the biscuit in the neck gets the job. Have you 489 00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:37.960 heard the argument that somehow you and I are wrong 490 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.039 and that the NBA is right to have a meritocracy 491 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:44.319 on the court, but nowhere else in the organization. What 492 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:45.480 is the argument against it? 493 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.119 There's an argument that you either have a meritoca. Sure 494 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:53.599 you don't. And what the NBA is doing is, by 495 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:55.839 the way we go there absolutely opening themselves up to 496 00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:59.200 a lawsuit because when they look at an organ part 497 00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:01.680 of the organization say there are too many white people here, 498 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:03.680 they don't match the metrics, we need to get rid 499 00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:05.240 of them. But they look at another part and say 500 00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.319 there are too many black people and that is just great. 501 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:10.960 That's a civil rights violation. So they're actually opening in 502 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:13.079 the subs up to all suits which I imagine will 503 00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:16.079 come at some point. And it always shows the underlying 504 00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:18.839 hypocracy because meritacracy is great. We should have meritocracy. We 505 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.480 should have meritocracy in corporate offices. We should have meritocracy 506 00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:24.680 on the court. We should have merittocracy in the military, 507 00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:26.839 which we're now beginning to get again. We should have 508 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.200 meritocracy everywhere. There's no basis for hiring people based on 509 00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:31.519 their skin color period. 510 00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:32.960 Yeah. 511 00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.559 You make the point in your column that DEI doesn't 512 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.480 actually seek equity, let alone diversity. It's the opposite. It's 513 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.839 kind of like a George Orwell, we don't have diversity, 514 00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:47.400 equity and inclusion, so therefore we say we do. While 515 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.000 we practice meritocracy on the court, on the field, on 516 00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:53.200 the diamond, we don't practice it in the organization. In fact, 517 00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.160 you point out that Mark Cuban, who is now a 518 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.920 Dallas mavery minority owner, brags about executive leadership is forty 519 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.680 seven percent people of color, and that doesn't represent the 520 00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:07.160 fan base or the city of Dallas at all. And 521 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.200 the NBA claims that over half of its coaches are black. 522 00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.839 Is an achievement of diversity, but in reality, in order 523 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.680 to get those principles, you have to practice racial discrimination, 524 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:21.640 which is judging someone based upon the color of their skin. 525 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:24.440 But the NBA and others don't do not see it 526 00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:26.839 that way at all. In fact, i've seen some of 527 00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.880 the complaints about black coaches not in the NFL, and 528 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.200 others have written columns about this that indicates that it 529 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.720 more or less represents the population of America as being 530 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.799 about sixty sixty five percent white, et cetera. And that's 531 00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.000 the way it ought to be. And so I would 532 00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:47.079 think with the new administration, I would think Daniel Greenfield, 533 00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:51.400 with a new administration, this might change. But when I 534 00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:56.160 watched the media, the NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and who 535 00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:58.599 knows if CBS will be in existence anymore. You may 536 00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:01.319 know that the president wants to take away their license 537 00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:04.319 because of the Kamala Harrison interview. I don't know if 538 00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.680 that's going to work or not. But when I make 539 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:12.440 the statement that diversity, equity inclusion is practicing racial discrimination, 540 00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:16.640 the media doesn't accept that. The mainstream media doesn't accept that, 541 00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:20.680 but I think most Americans do, and so I would 542 00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:24.319 hope that that those who want to end racial discrimination 543 00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:28.759 will quit racially discriminating based upon race. That's the way 544 00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:31.240 to do it. And your call them in the NBA 545 00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:36.000 is perfect. The NBA All Star Weekend is happening this weekend, 546 00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.079 and I'm looking at it and the great majority of 547 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:40.359 the players are black, and that doesn't bother me one 548 00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:44.240 bit because they're the best players. But the same criteria 549 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.640 should apply to every part of every organization, and it doesn't. 550 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:51.400 And I think it might beginning high school and college. 551 00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:55.240 Do you think there's an indoctrination happening with college kids 552 00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.440 to accept forms of racial discrimination as a kind of 553 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:00.680 a form of operations. 554 00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:05.720 Absolutely, And it's very disturbing. Beyond college, it's there at 555 00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:10.240 the university level. For example, in medical school, the doctors 556 00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.559 of the future are being trained to consider privilege. They're 557 00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:16.079 being trained to consider the race of the patient. They're 558 00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:18.039 being taught, for example, that if you treat oge, you 559 00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:20.640 have a few patients in front of you, both are sick, 560 00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:23.839 you treat the one that is more oppressed first. And 561 00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:26.279 this is the stuff that is potentially very, very disturbing 562 00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:27.680 once it gets down to the real world. 563 00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:30.960 And of course I belong to the American Bar Association 564 00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.960 and they issue statements regularly after Trump got elected they're 565 00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:37.960 not going to give up on racial discrimination. They call 566 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:40.880 it DEI They call it reaching out for the most talent. 567 00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:42.440 Come on, all the words you want to, all the 568 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.640 five syllable words you can come up with, but the essence, 569 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:50.079 the core of DEI is race discrimination, especially against Asian 570 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.640 students who do better on these tests than anyone else. 571 00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:55.599 But Dandy Greenfield, once again, thanks for coming on the 572 00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:58.519 Bill Cunningham Show. And I loved your column on the NBA. 573 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.359 And for those who feel as if there have been deplatformed, 574 00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:06.160 what you have power where you are, but what does 575 00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:08.759 the average person do if a bank deplatforms them? What 576 00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:09.559 do you do? 577 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:11.960 The good US is that with Trump in office and 578 00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:15.319 Republicans actually taking a serious look at the stuff all 579 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.640 the CEOs are denying at Thank of America is denying 580 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:21.359 it the reality those that people, individuals still have few options. 581 00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:22.839 One of the things that we are proposing it to 582 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.839 David Hart's Freedom Centers. We need legislation that will deal 583 00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:28.079 with the biggest civil rights crisis of our time, which 584 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:30.759 is not systemic cracism that does not exist and it's 585 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:33.440 not in a general in generation, but it is political 586 00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:36.720 discrimination against conservatives. We need to actually bring in add 587 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:42.039 political orientation affiliation to the list of protected characteristics and 588 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.119 make sure that any companies that actually discriminate against conservatives 589 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:47.680 will actually face civil rights lawsuits. 590 00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:52.359 Well, that'll be up to a conservative Southern poverty law 591 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.160 center to bring that to bring to the public pulb 592 00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.799 forefront because lots of discrimination take place today. But I'm 593 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.319 with you, there is no system racism. If it is, 594 00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:05.200 it is practiced by liberals. The liberals control almost all 595 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.960 the major organizations in this country and they're the ones 596 00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:11.920 practicing race discrimination. They call it something else to fit 597 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:16.559 inside their prejudice. But Daniel Greenfield once again front pagemag 598 00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:19.679 dot com and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham 599 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.039 Show and Daniel Greenfield, you're a great American. Thank you 600 00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:26.960 very much, Thank you so much. Let's continue with more. 601 00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:31.199 You can't end discrimination by employing it. And I've had 602 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:34.239 several may I use the term black politicians talk to 603 00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.400 me about a new day in America and that they 604 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:38.679 feel is there a place for us in America today? 605 00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.920 With Donald Trump and the White House? The answer is yes. 606 00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:46.199 What's wrong with a meritocracy when someone is selected not 607 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:49.119 because of the color of their skin, but selected based 608 00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:51.400 upon their accomplishments in life? And what they can do 609 00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:55.280 irrespective of color. I' let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham, 610 00:34:55.280 --> 00:35:01.079 the Grand American, live with you every Sunday night on 611 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:03.920 Billy Cunningham, the Great American. You know, Daniel Greenfield front 612 00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:06.360 page meg dot com. You can watch them repeatedly then 613 00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.239 and get all the information you need so site. But 614 00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:11.360 the second part of which we discussed, you know tonight 615 00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:13.880 the NBA All Star Game is underway. And when you 616 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.239 talk about every major franchise, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, or 617 00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:20.480 the Dallas Mavericks, the Lakers, whatever, or Adam Silver, the 618 00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:25.559 commissioner of the National Basketball Association, in every circumstance, they 619 00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:31.639 completely believe in DEI diversity equity and the lack of 620 00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:35.880 integration of different minorities into what's happening in their organization. 621 00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:41.239 And it's amazing that merit should apply to about everything 622 00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:43.880 in American life. How well you do. One of the 623 00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:47.679 classic examples brought up by Daniel Greenfield, of course, is 624 00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:52.360 that air trific control situation. We have a shortage because 625 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:54.639 the best and the brightest we're not given an opportunity 626 00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:58.159 to serve because it didn't fit a DEI a mandate, 627 00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:02.119 and that there were two thousands Asian and white male 628 00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:06.840 purported air traffic controllers that have sued saying, you know what, 629 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:09.960 we have a situation here where we're the most qualified, 630 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:12.039 we do well on the test, we have all the 631 00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:15.760 academic credentials necessary, but we're not the right race. We're 632 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:18.519 either Asian or we're white males, in which case it 633 00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:23.079 doesn't apply. And Daniel Greenfield points that I think very well. 634 00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:26.280 And the fact that instead of having hiring by merit, 635 00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:29.960 it's done by race. It's the old affirmative action game. 636 00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:33.119 It's what it is today in twenty twenty five is reparations. 637 00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:37.320 And the argument for reparations as well, shall we say, 638 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.119 not accepted by almost all the American people. It doesn't 639 00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:42.639 make any sense. It makes no sense at all, the 640 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:47.360 reparations argument. And that's where we are. So the All 641 00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:51.559 Star Game tonight is underway. Almost all the players are 642 00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.320 persons of color, which is fine with me, doesn't bother 643 00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:56.519 me one bit. I think it's great the best and 644 00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:59.800 the brighter should play. But when other when the Cleveland Cavaliers, 645 00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:03.239 the Dallas Mavericks, and the New York Knicks hire internally 646 00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:07.119 the hundreds of employees they do it by DEI principles 647 00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.519 and not by merit. That is what we your grades 648 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:11.760 in school. If there's some adjective tests, how'd you do 649 00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:13.239 on the test? Did you do well or did you 650 00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:16.360 do poorly? What is your previous criminal record, if any? 651 00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:19.920 And how motivated are you to work here? Irrespective of 652 00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:24.400 your color. DEI is reparations in another form. It is 653 00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:28.039 race discrimination in another form. It is affirmative action in 654 00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.840 another form. So stay tuned for more. As you know tonight, 655 00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:34.199 Rubyo is I believe tonight he's still in the Middle East. 656 00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.440 Not sure where is exactly. But my next guest, who's 657 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.440 going to be Israel Elis who's an expert written a 658 00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:43.760 great book about Hamas's goals, what Amas tends to do, 659 00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:47.039 and it's not in line with civilization goals. So if 660 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:50.039 line becomes available eight sixty six six four seven, seven 661 00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:52.960 three three seven plus later on we have Steven Mlog. 662 00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:54.880 We got terrible weather in the country. He's going to 663 00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:57.679 address himself to that still cunning into great American with 664 00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:59.199 you and all great Americans. 665 00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:26.239 Every Sunday, Willie brough you by choice. 666 00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.519 Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway In Hotels are serving up 667 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:32.719 double points for every qualifying stay book at Choice. 668 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:34.039 Hotels dot com. 669 00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:37.480 Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best, 670 00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:41.679 the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards 671 00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:47.039 for his broadcast excellence, the one and only Bill Cunningham. 672 00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:50.400 Ty Bully Cunningham, the great American. Of course, what's happening 673 00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.679 in the Middle East right now affects the entire world, 674 00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:57.119 and as we speak, there's a plan to uh involve 675 00:38:57.199 --> 00:38:59.880 the Egyptians, the Jernanians and others. Maybe the Saudi ra 676 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:03.880 As might be involved. When the recent batch of hostages 677 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:08.760 was released, three of them, it came out and Israel 678 00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:12.880 press some of their treatment was abysmal. They spoke about 679 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:17.800 families being tied together and set on fire, burned alive. 680 00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:21.559 They talked about babies being beheaded. They talked a course 681 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:26.440 about Jewish women and being repeatedly raped by Hamas and 682 00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:31.000 held for almost five hundred days. And the first phase 683 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:33.440 allegedly is going to continue about another two weeks. Then 684 00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:36.639 the second phase begins, which is, shall we say, a 685 00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:40.239 complete release of all the hostages and then peace. I 686 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:43.079 guess one of the experts in the Middle East is 687 00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:46.119 author of the wake up call. His name, of course 688 00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:49.880 is Israel Ellis. He spent years and years studying the 689 00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:51.960 Middle East and a moss and things of that character. 690 00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:56.480 And according to reports on Friday and Saturday, there's a 691 00:39:56.519 --> 00:40:00.880 two thousand pound bombs that are buster bombs that can 692 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:05.480 be used against against the Iranian nuclear forces well underground. 693 00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:10.159 And right now there's joy, at least in Israel about 694 00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:13.360 what is happening. But with the release of these hostages, 695 00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:17.960 there's still about three dozen remaining in captivity. Allegedly about 696 00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:20.840 half or more are dead, and then there might be 697 00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.639 another fifteen to twenty alive. We'll see what happens down 698 00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:26.920 the road. But once again, Israel Ellis, welcome to the 699 00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:30.280 Bill Cunningham Show. And now that the first phase is 700 00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:33.800 about two weeks from completion and the second phase begins, 701 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:40.280 can you see a possible scenario in which Hamas the 702 00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:45.400 individual standing around those hostages. Is it possible for peace 703 00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.239 to come to Middle East? If Hamas is still in 704 00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:49.920 control of gossip? Is that possible? 705 00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:52.800 It is not possible. 706 00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:54.119 Hamas must go. 707 00:40:55.039 --> 00:41:00.440 And Israel recognizes that the West recognizes that think that 708 00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:04.000 anybody is involved the situation, recognizes that there is no 709 00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:06.159 place in the future with Hamas. 710 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:10.159 It is a theater of the obscene. What is going on? 711 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:16.079 What's gonna happen when Hamas refuses to put down their arms. 712 00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:18.719 I can't imagine. I don't know if there's a five 713 00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:23.559 thousand left, fifteen thousand left, and to me, as soon 714 00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:27.280 as they know, as soon as they released the last hostage, 715 00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.880 that's when all hell's going to break loose. So Hamas 716 00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:34.639 is not energized to release any hostages because that's their 717 00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:37.719 get out of jail free card. And at some point, 718 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:42.800 whether it's Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu, they're gonna have 719 00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:46.320 to do what should have been done a long time ago, 720 00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:49.159 which is eliminate when I when I listen to Marco 721 00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:52.880 Rubio or JD or the President, they must be eliminated 722 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:56.000 from the face of the earth. That is Hamas going 723 00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:00.320 to participate in their own demise by releasing all the hostile. 724 00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:07.440 Well, we keep on talking about Hamas as the singular 725 00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:12.400 the singular front that is representative of what's going on 726 00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:14.280 in Gaza, and I think that's a bit of a 727 00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.360 sort of a misconception of what it's like sort of 728 00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:20.719 in that region and what it's like going on there. 729 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:24.079 Hamas is a brand, if you want to call it that, 730 00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:27.760 and until the brand is destroyed. So what there are 731 00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:31.920 multiple other factions that are at play over here as well, 732 00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:34.400 that you know that I. 733 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:35.719 Don't think we're talking about. 734 00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:40.920 So it isn't really about Hamas because the brand Hamas 735 00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:42.440 will not exist. 736 00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:45.639 It'll be ground into history, It'll be a something in 737 00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:46.639 our rearview mirror. 738 00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:50.760 But what about all the other, you know, fractional elements 739 00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:52.400 that are born out of this. Now, I want to 740 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:57.360 keep something in mind. With every hostage that has been released, 741 00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:07.159 one hundred tears, prisoners released from Israeli jail, these are murderers, 742 00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:11.199 these are terrorists, and these are people who are going. 743 00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:13.199 To rebuild the terrorism. 744 00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.920 And so even if HAMASC goes, I mean, I don't 745 00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:20.320 know what the difference is between Hamas and isis you, 746 00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:25.159 but I can tell you that there are Islamic fundamental 747 00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:30.079 Jihattis everywhere, and they are multiple brands at play. 748 00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:32.480 So let's get out of let's get out of. 749 00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:35.639 The narrative of oh Hamas has to go, because it's 750 00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:37.079 not just Hamasta that's. 751 00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:37.880 Involved over there. 752 00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:41.119 They just seem to be the predominant political power. Yes, 753 00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:44.159 they're gone, they're outlawed, they're finished. But what happens to 754 00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:45.320 the people behind them? Us? 755 00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:46.639 Do you think they also leave? 756 00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:52.360 They're just going to be relabeled, rebranded, reparactorizing something else. 757 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.800 And then we're going to hear about the X factor, 758 00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:58.480 the new X factor that's going to come into play. 759 00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:00.519 It's all very. 760 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:01.280 Connected over here. 761 00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:06.920 It's connected in the sense that, yeah, go ahead, sorry. 762 00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:12.320 They're stabbings all over Europe, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands 763 00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:18.119 inspired by ISIS Islamic state in Syria Syria doesn't exist. 764 00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:22.039 How much they're all kinds Okay, what is the religion? 765 00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:25.199 I can't think of a religion in the last five 766 00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:27.280 hundred years that says the way to get to heaven 767 00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:30.559 is to kill innocent people, to rape Jewish women. 768 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:32.760 I mean, a lot better way. 769 00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:35.800 What better way they'll build and convince people to commit 770 00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:39.840 suicide than to promise them seventy two virgins and to 771 00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:42.559 tell them this is the instruction of God. A lot 772 00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:45.079 of these people are marginalized. A lot of these people 773 00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:49.800 they're they're they're you know, sort of manipulated in a 774 00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:53.679 cult like faction by by the jihadist So let's talk 775 00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:55.760 about the head of the stake. Let's talk about where 776 00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:57.800 this is coming. And I'm just going to show you 777 00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:01.000 how everything is connected. First of all, the Iranian Islamic 778 00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:05.840 regime has got their nuclear ambitions and everything that they're 779 00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:08.199 doing in the proxy of terrors that they have going 780 00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:10.599 on around the world. And then the global g head 781 00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:13.239 that I talk about in my book The wake Up Call, 782 00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:15.960 and The wake Up Call talks about the Global g 783 00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:20.440 Hut at length, is where they have corrupted the Koran 784 00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.760 to turn it into some kind of religious doctrine to 785 00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:26.119 go out there and commit these acts of terror. And 786 00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:28.840 they're not just You're absolutely right, those acts of terror 787 00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:30.000 not just in Gaza. 788 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:31.639 They're not just in Seer. They're not happy. 789 00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:35.840 They're happening in your back yard. They happen in New Orleans, 790 00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.199 they happen and they just happen to Munich. 791 00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:39.960 I mean everywhere in the. 792 00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:44.360 World are these participants, these disenfranchised souls that get sucked 793 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:48.079 in and manipulated by this cult. And so what we 794 00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:49.719 need to deal with is we need to deal with 795 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.000 the head of the snake. So, please God, those two 796 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.239 thousand pound bombs that have been delivered to Israel. Hopefully 797 00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:58.599 they're on an express post run to Tehran because you 798 00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:01.000 got to take out the nuclear capabilities. 799 00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:02.519 Can you imagine. 800 00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:05.079 Can you imagine the Islamic regime, the. 801 00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:07.960 Head of the jihadis the guys who have designed all 802 00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:11.679 of this, having nuclear capabilities and holding that over the 803 00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:14.039 rest of the world. You think it was bad enough 804 00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:17.320 to have to negotiate the bizarre theater of the obscene 805 00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:19.679 with the Hamas, can you imagine what it's going to 806 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:21.800 be like to have to be put into a situation 807 00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:27.480 to negotiate with the Islamic with the Iran Islamic regime. 808 00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:31.000 That's just that we can't get to that point. We 809 00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:34.039 absolutely can't get to that point. So it's very connected. 810 00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:38.840 And you know, when Trump talks about the plan for Gaza, 811 00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:43.440 that's another connection. And when we talk about, you know, 812 00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:47.159 the Gates of Hell, this terminology of the Gaza Hell, 813 00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:51.760 it's another connection. And when we talk about the ongoing 814 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:56.159 hostage and ceasfar situation, all of these things are connected 815 00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:58.960 into what is happening every single day in the region 816 00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:01.239 but also affecting the rest of the world. 817 00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:05.760 You can only imagine Iran according to media accounts if 818 00:47:05.760 --> 00:47:08.000 you can believe them that Iran is within a few 819 00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:11.000 weeks of having a nuclear weapon. And you can only 820 00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:14.119 imagine a nuclear weapon smuggled in the hands of Hamas 821 00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:18.440 or Hezbola or Isis or Boca Haram just name or 822 00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:22.599 Taliban named the terrorist group which is developing terror all 823 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:24.679 over the world and wants to bring it to our shores. 824 00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:28.880 Can you imagine Israel's reaction when it is known that 825 00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:32.159 Iran has nuclear weapons and are prepared to use them 826 00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:36.840 against Israel. There's ten million individuals who live in Israel, 827 00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:41.199 about six million or Jews, and they believe never again. 828 00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:45.840 When I visit at the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem about 829 00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:49.480 a year and a half ago, never again is everywhere. 830 00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:54.400 And I would be shocked if baseball begins play in 831 00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:58.280 April without a major attack on Iran to take away 832 00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:00.480 their nuclear capability. 833 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:01.840 Bill. 834 00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:05.320 The subtitle of my book is a World Gone Mad, 835 00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:07.639 And when I talked about a world gun mad, I'm 836 00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:11.800 not talking about crazy here. I'm talking about the acronym. 837 00:48:11.400 --> 00:48:12.960 For mutually assured destruction. 838 00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:16.960 Because we have, over the last seventy five years plus, 839 00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:21.159 have negotiated foreign diplomacy based on the fact that everyone 840 00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:21.920 involved as a. 841 00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:22.840 Lover of life. 842 00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:25.760 But here you're dealing the lover of life, is dealing 843 00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:29.239 with the lover of death, and mutually assured destruction is 844 00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:33.960 no longer a viable construct when we're using trying to 845 00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:37.519 be diplomatic. The Biden administration and understand that, and they 846 00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:39.519 thought they could go back and they could go back 847 00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:41.639 to the table with Iran and work things out. You 848 00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:44.760 cannot work out things with these people. And it's not Iran, 849 00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:47.679 by the way, bill, because I know a lot of Persians, 850 00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:49.960 I know a lot of Iranians are good people. This 851 00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:54.320 is the Islamic regime of Iran that is today in 852 00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:57.000 control of what is happening in Iran, and that is 853 00:48:57.079 --> 00:49:00.760 worse because they are holding that country, are holding all 854 00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:01.440 these people. 855 00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:02.639 If you pull. 856 00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:05.519 Theran, you pulled all these people, all the civilians there. 857 00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:08.559 They're not complicit like the people in Gaza. I don't 858 00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:11.320 believe they're complicit to all of this. And if you 859 00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:13.599 pull them, they would be more than happy to see 860 00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:18.239 this regime gone. So there, the regime is what complicates 861 00:49:18.239 --> 00:49:22.280 the situation even further is that the reneeme is holding 862 00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:26.480 these people are the ultimate human shields here in this whole, 863 00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:29.679 in this whole game. So yeah, it's it's just not 864 00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:34.000 going to happen. Okay, In the next coming weeks, Israel 865 00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:37.159 and the US are going to have a concerted effort 866 00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:39.800 to take out these allot of regimes. I hope Comedie 867 00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:42.440 has his bags packed because he's going to see his 868 00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:46.440 seventy two versions really soon. I also think that plan, 869 00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:49.280 that that Trump's plan. I know, you kind of we 870 00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:52.079 kind of talked about the connections between these things, but 871 00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:56.960 Trump's plan is brilliant. We need to get the Palestinians 872 00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:00.760 out of Gaza. And whether it's temporary with or it's permanent, 873 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:02.760 I don't know. But we're not talking, you know, people 874 00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:05.320 of like, oh my god, that's a horrible situation. 875 00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:07.920 It's a horrible solution. How can you that's like genocide. 876 00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:11.480 First of all, it's not genocide because the fact is 877 00:50:11.519 --> 00:50:13.679 that there's been mass complicity here. 878 00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:16.719 Civilians went there. 879 00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:19.920 Were thousands of thousands of civilians who broke through the 880 00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:23.599 fence on October seventh and went to facilitate the murder 881 00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:29.559 of Jews and facilitate the the feeling of goods and 882 00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:33.000 things like that. So all of that goes out the window. 883 00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:34.039 When they say this can't happen. 884 00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:35.880 But I've got a plan for you, Bill that I 885 00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:36.920 want to tell you today. 886 00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:38.679 There are thirteen countries. 887 00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:42.880 There are thirteen countries out there that have done nothing 888 00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:47.960 but vilify Israel and support the Palestinians. And I say 889 00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:50.880 that it's time for these countries to put their money 890 00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:54.000 where their mouth is and to take in the Palestinians 891 00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:56.159 into their homes. And I'm going to talk to you 892 00:50:56.199 --> 00:51:01.599 about thirteen countries Iran, Katar, Turkey, eleven On, Syria, of Pakistan, Malaysia, 893 00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:05.800 South Africa, Ireland, Norway, Spain, Columbia and Brazil. 894 00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:07.960 Well, you know what, guys, it's time. 895 00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:10.239 For you to to It's time for you to cough up, 896 00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:13.360 to come to the table. Because if we go ahead 897 00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:17.000 and we distribute all the Palestinians in Gaza between these 898 00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:19.920 thirteen countries, that's one hundred and fifty three thousand people. 899 00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:22.199 Now, I want to think about it for a moment. 900 00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:25.599 Canada took in a million people, a million point two 901 00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:27.760 hundred and fifty thousand, of which one hundred and fifty 902 00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:32.800 thousand were Palestinians last year alone. Okay, to the demise 903 00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:37.000 of Canada, Intrudeau's an idiot. But that's another story. But 904 00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:39.360 the fact is is that one hundred and fifty three 905 00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:44.360 thousand people per country take them there. It is absolutely 906 00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:47.800 it is absolutely unheard of for these people to be 907 00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:50.400 able to walk through the rubble. You're talking about sending 908 00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:54.079 gasms home. There is nothing there. It is a parking lot. 909 00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:57.000 And what's even more dangerous is there is booby traps 910 00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:00.880 all over the place. There are bombs everywhere, there's tunnels, 911 00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:04.760 there's more cachet of weapons. We can't have people there 912 00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:07.639 otherwise it's never going to end. We got to clean 913 00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:11.360 that place up. People cannot go back into Gaza because 914 00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:14.880 it is a It is an absolute hellhole as it exists. 915 00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:18.400 And guess what. Countries like Qatar they. 916 00:52:18.519 --> 00:52:22.239 Funded all that, all their money. They were delivering three 917 00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:25.840 hundred million dollars of cores annually, three hundred and sixty 918 00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:28.639 million dollars to be exact, thirty to fifty million dollars 919 00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:32.679 a month into Camas's hands without any controls, knowing that 920 00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:37.679 Hamas was building tunnels, knowing that they were building up 921 00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:41.679 cachets of arms. So guess what, Qatar, this is your fault, this. 922 00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:42.400 Is your doing. 923 00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:45.559 It's now time to take responsibility for what you've done. 924 00:52:46.119 --> 00:52:50.039 Take in the palaest In and people house them, feed them, 925 00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:55.440 clothe them, educate them, civilize them while we clean up Gaza, 926 00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:58.719 get all that cleaned up. So I completely agree with transplane. 927 00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:01.239 I think it's a very genuine plan. I think it's actual. 928 00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:04.920 It's actually got a lot of it's got a lot 929 00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:05.599 of legs to it. 930 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.360 And the other issue is the great majority of Muslim 931 00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:14.639 Arab states want Iran to be taken down. The Emirates, Qatar, 932 00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:18.599 Saudi Arabia, they all want them gone, and it's gonna 933 00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:20.639 happen sometime in the next couple of weeks to a 934 00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:22.880 couple of months. I can't conceive it getting to spring 935 00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:26.039 and summer with Iran getting closer a nuclear weapon when 936 00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:29.119 they're a culture of death, not one of life. Well, 937 00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:32.079 we got to run Israelis. You're out there, Yeah, please 938 00:53:32.119 --> 00:53:34.239 go ahead, a minute remaining, go ahead. 939 00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:37.440 Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave you with one thing, Okay, 940 00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:40.119 there is no seventy two versions when. 941 00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:41.039 You drive a Bugatti. 942 00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:45.320 All of these all these countries are living extremely well. 943 00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:48.960 They've got some fantastic societies. They are living in a 944 00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:52.599 great quality of life. They don't want Iran the they 945 00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:56.079 don't want the Islamic regime of Iran to be successful 946 00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:57.920 here that your Egg's absolutely right. 947 00:53:58.280 --> 00:53:59.159 They want them out. 948 00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:02.400 Countries around they want them out, and they want peace 949 00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:05.400 in the region because the fact is is that you know, 950 00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:07.960 peace equals prosperity for everybody. 951 00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:11.559 Bill, your reader's got to go. 952 00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:13.719 Ahead and read my book because it's a it's it's 953 00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:19.280 a very objective and balanced and extremely informative and well 954 00:54:19.320 --> 00:54:22.719 cited and well researched, and it tells the history and 955 00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:24.360 it talks about the solutions. 956 00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:27.800 Because everyone could be a critic. I'm not just a critic. 957 00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:32.719 I am a person who seeks solutions. And the book 958 00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:36.679 they wake up, called Global Gad and the Rising of 959 00:54:36.679 --> 00:54:41.119 Anti Semitism in a World got Mad, is providing solutions 960 00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:45.159 that makes seven observations of how October seventh happened. And 961 00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:48.280 I am providing solutions globally. And I hope that I 962 00:54:48.400 --> 00:54:51.400 just had a copy delivered by the way to President Trump. 963 00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:56.440 I hope that that people take take take take heed 964 00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:59.400 to it and that they and they learn something from it. 965 00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:01.679 And if you read that book, it's very plainly put 966 00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:04.119 and I think it'll provide a lot of history for everybody. 967 00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:07.199 It's the wake up call Israel Elis once again, let's 968 00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:09.519 keep the lines of communication open. The next few weeks 969 00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:10.880 is going to be a rough ride. We're gonna have 970 00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:13.760 to strap it on and get ready to support Israel 971 00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:17.360 and what they have to do. Once again, Israel, Ellis, 972 00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:20.360 thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And Israel. 973 00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:23.920 You're a great American. Thank you, thank you very much. 974 00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:27.199 I'm a Canadian, Bill, I'm not a doctor, and I'm 975 00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:27.920 not an American. 976 00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:30.679 I'm a game, but I am definitely a friend of America. 977 00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:31.920 I am afraid of American. 978 00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:34.599 I appreciate your support for Israel, the Jewish people and 979 00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:37.719 all good people, all JDA Christians out there. I really 980 00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:39.639 appreciate Bill. Thank you, and God bless. 981 00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:42.400 You, God bless you. And once again America beat Canada 982 00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.920 and that four nation hockey tournament. But that's a different issue. 983 00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:49.800 Thank you very much, Israel. Let's continue with more Bill Cunningham, 984 00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:54.480 with you every Sunday night. My Billy Cunningham, the great American, 985 00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:58.679 and say what you will. That guy knows quite a 986 00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:01.159 bit about what is happening, what has happened. Even though 987 00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:04.079 he's a Canadian and what's going to happen to Iran 988 00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:06.800 in the next several weeks. It must end. The head 989 00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:08.719 of the snake must be taken down, and then the 990 00:56:08.760 --> 00:56:11.440 world's given a chance at peace. And believe it or not, 991 00:56:11.519 --> 00:56:13.119 the most of the world would agree with that, and 992 00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:17.239 it wouldn't take any large military operation. They have an 993 00:56:17.519 --> 00:56:21.719 oil terminal about ten miles off the coast. They have 994 00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:24.760 two large dams that provide all the electricity for the 995 00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:28.119 whole country, and the defense ministry needs to be eliminated 996 00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:31.440 in Iran. It's sad. The Iranian people are a great 997 00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:33.920 people and they deserve so much better than what they're 998 00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:36.280 getting right now, and they're not getting it. But I 999 00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:38.440 think Benjamin Netcinaw who's going to give it to him. 1000 00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:41.719 He's getting out as many hostages as possible. But allegedly, 1001 00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:44.280 over the next two weeks, phase one is done. There's 1002 00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:48.119 about thirty seven hostages remaining, allegedly half or dead. I 1003 00:56:48.119 --> 00:56:50.599 don't think you're a hostage if you're dead, but that's 1004 00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:53.719 a different issue. These are vicious murderers and if Amas 1005 00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:56.039 stays in charge of gossip, this is going to continue 1006 00:56:56.079 --> 00:56:57.960 for a very long period of time, and that cannot 1007 00:56:57.960 --> 00:57:02.079 be allowed to occur. And in fact, this Saudi Arabia 1008 00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:04.800 cutter the Emirates, none of them went to Hamas to 1009 00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:08.039 be anywhere involved, although they funded repeatedly because it's good 1010 00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:11.039 for domestic politics. So let's continue with more coming up 1011 00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:14.599 next as Stephen mlloy the weather is terrible everywhere. He's 1012 00:57:14.639 --> 00:57:16.199 going to come with some of the predictions of the 1013 00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:19.320 past of what the climatologists told us was going to happen, 1014 00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:21.760 and none of them, of course did was later on 1015 00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:24.880 as Curtis Hawk of NewsBusters dot Org and so much more. 1016 00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:27.960 The line becomes available eight six six six four seven 1017 00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:31.480 seven three three seven Bill Cunningham, It's a Great American 1018 00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:40.559 with all other great Americans, every Sunday Night by Billy Cunningham, 1019 00:57:40.599 --> 00:57:43.719 the Great American. Steve mlloy, among other things, a Senior 1020 00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:47.039 Fellow with the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute, a former 1021 00:57:47.079 --> 00:57:51.000 Trump epa transition team member, also editor of Junk Science 1022 00:57:51.039 --> 00:57:53.639 dot com, and once again Steve mlloy, Welcome to the 1023 00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:56.280 Bill Cunningham Show. And you have a great column up 1024 00:57:56.320 --> 00:57:59.480 about the Inflation Reduction Act, which has had some numbers 1025 00:57:59.480 --> 00:58:01.320 that don't look good on paper. In fact, they look 1026 00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:04.719 terrible for the going forward. And part of that reason is, 1027 00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:08.360 of course, all the money that Biden and the Democrats 1028 00:58:08.440 --> 00:58:11.519 dumped into the economy causing nine percent inflation about two 1029 00:58:11.559 --> 00:58:14.960 and a half years ago. And in your column you 1030 00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:18.119 referenced Senator Mike Lee of Utah, who's a great American, 1031 00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:22.119 who talks about Congress and the Green new scam, and 1032 00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:25.679 you have page after page, list after list of the spending, 1033 00:58:26.119 --> 00:58:29.039 all of which generates great inflation. When you dumb trillions 1034 00:58:29.039 --> 00:58:32.719 of dollars into the economy and there's a restriction of products, 1035 00:58:32.719 --> 00:58:34.840 guess what, the price has got to go up. So 1036 00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:37.360 what would you like to see happen in the first 1037 00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:40.639 several months, which I think after the first three or 1038 00:58:40.639 --> 00:58:43.800 four weeks, it's unbelievable. With the Trump term, I'm talking 1039 00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:47.400 about clean energy production tax credit. I'm talking about the 1040 00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:51.679 Clean Energy Investment tax credit. I'm talking about EV tax credits. 1041 00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:55.639 I'm talking about advanced manufacturing production tax credits. I'm talking 1042 00:58:55.679 --> 00:59:01.800 about carbon oxide sequestration tax credits, the clean hydrogen production 1043 00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:03.960 tax credit. I could go on and on and on. 1044 00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:06.559 All this is in the Green new Scam. Explain that 1045 00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:07.519 to the American people. 1046 00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:11.800 Well, yeah, so Joe Biden passed the green News scam 1047 00:59:11.840 --> 00:59:16.480 through a special legislative process called budget reconciliation. Was not 1048 00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:19.960 subject to the filibuster. So all they needed was you know, 1049 00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:22.360 fifty one votes, which they got through the help of 1050 00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:25.119 you know, Joe Mansion. And so we're stuck with this 1051 00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:29.760 trillion dollars worth of wasteful spending on all the things 1052 00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.559 you just mentioned, and we've got to end it because 1053 00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:35.760 it is it's contributing to inflation. It's making inflation worse. 1054 00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:38.519 I mean, along with Joe Biden's Wargan's fossil fuels. I mean, 1055 00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:41.840 this is you know, this is also driving up cost 1056 00:59:41.880 --> 00:59:45.400 of energy, which is inflationary. And so we need to 1057 00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:48.199 get rid of the Inflation Reduction Act, which is the 1058 00:59:48.280 --> 00:59:51.159 underlying law. We could do it the same way that 1059 00:59:51.159 --> 00:59:55.440 it was passed through budget reconciliation. Conveniently, President Trump is 1060 00:59:55.440 --> 00:59:59.280 looking at one or two budget reconciliation packages sometime in 1061 00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:03.119 the first half the year. And you know, Republicans, if 1062 01:00:03.159 --> 01:00:06.280 they have the courage and I have not been corrupted 1063 01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:09.840 by the money, could make it easy for President Trump 1064 01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:14.599 and just you know, repeal the entire inflation Reduction Act 1065 01:00:14.440 --> 01:00:17.639 and all this wasteful spending. I'm hoping that will happen, 1066 01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:20.760 but I'm not sure there's you know, President Trump has 1067 01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:25.400 a more difficult backup plan, which you're kind of seeing 1068 01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:27.760 in action right now, with does just going into these 1069 01:00:28.320 --> 01:00:31.000 the agencies, finding the corrupt spending and saying, you know, 1070 01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:35.719 Congress didn't attend for this money to be spent correctly. So, uh, 1071 01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:37.639 there's two ways. There's a there's an easy way and 1072 01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:40.599 hard way. And you know, I'm hoping Republicans in Congress 1073 01:00:40.599 --> 01:00:42.320 don't make it, don't make President Trump have to do 1074 01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:42.920 it the hard way. 1075 01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:45.880 You stay a lawyer. In your column, you talk about 1076 01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:50.079 a trillion dollars one point oh seven trillion dollars of 1077 01:00:50.159 --> 01:00:54.360 the cost. The Clean Energy Production Tax Credit had a 1078 01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:57.239 cost of two hundred and thirty five billion. The Clean 1079 01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:01.199 Energy Investment Tax Credit cost a one hundred and ten billion. 1080 01:01:01.519 --> 01:01:05.320 The EV tax credits was three hundred and sixteen billion 1081 01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:09.800 dollars out of the treasury. The carbon oxide Sequestration Tax 1082 01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:12.360 Credit was sixty one billion. It goes on and on 1083 01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:14.960 up to a up to a trillion dollars. Do you 1084 01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:17.320 know how much money has been shoveled into the economy. 1085 01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:19.760 Is there some money to capture? So when you say, 1086 01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:22.079 like the Trumpster says, we're going to terminate the Green 1087 01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:24.480 new scam, We're going to get rid of that, and 1088 01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:27.280 you have terminate next to it. But how much money 1089 01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:29.239 has already gone out the door it can't be. 1090 01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:32.199 Stopped, Well, it's hard to say. I think that those 1091 01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:34.519 is trying to find that out right now. As of 1092 01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:38.360 before the election, about one hundred and forty billion dollars 1093 01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:40.599 had been wasted. And then of course after the election 1094 01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:44.000 we all read about how the Bide administration has just 1095 01:01:44.039 --> 01:01:46.760 been shoveling out money as fast as they can. Of course, 1096 01:01:46.760 --> 01:01:50.039 a lot of that is you know, waste fraud abuse 1097 01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:53.360 of course, as all Green New scams making is. So 1098 01:01:53.679 --> 01:01:56.000 there's you know, probably at least a couple hundred billion 1099 01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:00.239 dollars has already been wasted. But President Trump could and 1100 01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:02.360 could make sure that we never get to that trillion 1101 01:02:02.400 --> 01:02:06.760 dollars spending. And I think that everything has been frozen 1102 01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:09.199 right now, there's no money going out. Of course, you know, 1103 01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:12.400 we're going to have fights in the courts and the 1104 01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:14.880 left is going to forum shop. Finally, left wing judges 1105 01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:19.199 to say what Trump is doing is somehow illegal and unconstitutional, 1106 01:02:19.280 --> 01:02:21.840 But that's nonsense. I mean, it is not illegal for 1107 01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:24.719 the president not to commit fraud. 1108 01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:28.159 And as an attorney and former assistant ag in the 1109 01:02:28.159 --> 01:02:31.920 state of Ohio, I respect courts, but there's about four 1110 01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:35.440 hundred and fifty US district court judges. They do not 1111 01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:40.039 conduct foreign policy, they do not conduct domestic spending. It's 1112 01:02:40.119 --> 01:02:42.039 up to the President and the Congress to do that. 1113 01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:46.000 And so when you have a federal judge in Rhode 1114 01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:50.159 Island issuing orders against Donald Trump not to seek waste, 1115 01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:53.679 fraud and abuse in USAID and don't go after them, 1116 01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:56.239 I would hope to think of responsible judges at some 1117 01:02:56.320 --> 01:02:59.480 point we get involved. We have one president popularly elected. 1118 01:02:59.519 --> 01:03:02.760 We don't have four hundred district court federal judges issuing 1119 01:03:02.800 --> 01:03:05.599 their own policies on the On the matter of EV 1120 01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:08.519 tax credits, I noticed in the Wall Street Journal about 1121 01:03:08.519 --> 01:03:11.119 two and a half weeks ago that Ford Motor Company 1122 01:03:11.840 --> 01:03:16.960 lost last year in twenty twenty four five point one 1123 01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:22.639 billion dollars. That's five thousand, one hundred billion dollars. That's 1124 01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:26.760 five point one billion on evs. Fortunately, the company made 1125 01:03:26.800 --> 01:03:30.239 on combustion engines about five point six billion, so they're 1126 01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:33.440 not had to tour to bankruptcy. And according to the 1127 01:03:33.559 --> 01:03:36.360 according to Farley, who's the president and CEO of Ford, 1128 01:03:36.679 --> 01:03:39.079 he says in twenty twenty five, we're gonna lose more money. 1129 01:03:39.679 --> 01:03:41.480 And I'm thinking, you got to be kidding me. 1130 01:03:42.840 --> 01:03:46.039 Yeah, I know, this green stuff has just made everybody crazy. 1131 01:03:46.119 --> 01:03:49.760 And of course, you know, Ford is left led by leftists. 1132 01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:52.000 They can't really do math, they don't want to do math. 1133 01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:53.679 They just want to advance leslie agenda. 1134 01:03:53.760 --> 01:03:54.800 Ford lost. 1135 01:03:55.119 --> 01:03:57.599 You know what that figure you mentioned that five point 1136 01:03:57.639 --> 01:04:01.800 one billion in losses works out to about seventeen thousand 1137 01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:06.239 dollars per ev sold. What kind of businessman does it? 1138 01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:10.599 Henry Ford would obviously never have done that. We have 1139 01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:13.639 got to end the green news scam and all the 1140 01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:16.960 climate hoax and all this green stuff. It has is 1141 01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:18.960 gotten out of control. It's been out of control for 1142 01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:21.599 a long time, and I think we're at the point. Look, 1143 01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:23.960 we're thirty six trillion dollars in debt. We pay more 1144 01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:27.519 than a trillion dollars in interest payments credit you know, 1145 01:04:27.679 --> 01:04:31.519 essentially credit card debt every year. This this has got 1146 01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:34.679 to end. And you know, I'm you know, it's going 1147 01:04:34.719 --> 01:04:36.639 to be ugly in the news for a long time, 1148 01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:39.199 and we're going to have ugly court fights, but it's 1149 01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:41.159 got to be done. You know, people are claiming that 1150 01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:43.519 Trump is Trump is a monarch and a king, and 1151 01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:48.079 you know, Busnik, no, he is trying to save the country. Now, 1152 01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:50.079 one day we're going to have to put the presidency, 1153 01:04:50.159 --> 01:04:52.199 you know, cut the presidency back down the size and 1154 01:04:52.239 --> 01:04:55.800 have constitutional government. But right now we need to end 1155 01:04:55.800 --> 01:04:58.039 this or we're going to be done. 1156 01:04:58.159 --> 01:05:01.599 At your website, junk science, do you have a blog 1157 01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:07.159 that is wrong? Again? Fifty years have failed eco apocalyptic predictions, 1158 01:05:07.480 --> 01:05:10.760 and you have you've come with the receipts. For example, 1159 01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:15.199 in nineteen sixty seven in the Los Angeles Times, big 1160 01:05:15.239 --> 01:05:20.639 story dire famine forecasted by nineteen seventy five, so they 1161 01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:24.320 predicted eight years from nineteen sixty seven there would be 1162 01:05:24.400 --> 01:05:27.960 dire famine. I'm reading the story. It is already too 1163 01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:30.760 late for the world to avoid a long period of 1164 01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:36.639 famine similar to the Dark Ages, a Stanford University climatologist said. 1165 01:05:37.280 --> 01:05:39.599 And he goes on and this story talks about within 1166 01:05:39.719 --> 01:05:42.000 eight or nine years we're going to be We're going 1167 01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:44.719 to be a ferreting. We're gonna be eating grass. We're 1168 01:05:44.719 --> 01:05:47.239 going to be in the woods eating leaves and bark. 1169 01:05:48.119 --> 01:05:50.239 This is unbelievable. How'd that turn out? 1170 01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:55.519 Yes, So the guy that made that prediction is Paul Erlick. He's, 1171 01:05:55.679 --> 01:05:58.079 you know, part of the National Academy of Sciences. So 1172 01:05:58.199 --> 01:06:00.880 the left thinks he's really really small. But of course 1173 01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:04.079 he was completely wrong. I mean, you know, he said 1174 01:06:04.079 --> 01:06:07.360 he predicted starvation, mass starvation by nineteen seventy five. Well, 1175 01:06:07.599 --> 01:06:10.480 you know, let's fast forward to today. Since nineteen seventy five, 1176 01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:13.760 the world's population has more than doubled. We have so 1177 01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:15.639 much food we'd burn it for energy. 1178 01:06:17.079 --> 01:06:19.119 We have so much food we throw away one third 1179 01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:22.000 of whatever we order. Another story in New York Times, 1180 01:06:22.360 --> 01:06:26.559 August tenth, nineteen sixty nine, A pollution. A foe of 1181 01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:29.760 pollution sees lack of time, the trouble with almost all 1182 01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:33.639 environmental problems, says Paul Aerlick, who was an apostle of 1183 01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:36.119 this stuff. He said, we must realize that, unless we're 1184 01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:39.039 extremely lucky, everyone will disappear in a cloud of blue 1185 01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:45.719 steam in twenty years. So he said, by nineteen eighty nine, 1186 01:06:46.079 --> 01:06:49.159 you and I would be in a cloud breathing into 1187 01:06:49.239 --> 01:06:52.480 a critic and arsenic and that we would like evaporate. 1188 01:06:52.800 --> 01:06:53.599 How'd that work out? 1189 01:06:53.960 --> 01:06:55.639 Yeah, I think he said we would disappear at a 1190 01:06:55.639 --> 01:06:58.159 cloud of blue steam. Well, these people are always wrong, 1191 01:06:58.199 --> 01:07:00.360 They've been wrong for fifty years. And of course they 1192 01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:03.320 have these because they rely on nutjobs. I mean Paul 1193 01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:09.320 Rwick nutjob, Alexandria Kazia Cortez nutjob, Grant the Thirdnberg, Grestenberg 1194 01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:13.400 nut job, Al Gore nut job, John Kerry nudjob, I mean, commine, 1195 01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:14.440 what do you expect? 1196 01:07:14.920 --> 01:07:15.559 Recall that? 1197 01:07:15.719 --> 01:07:16.440 Just you know. 1198 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:20.079 Within the past eighteen months, Joe Biden said that nuclear 1199 01:07:20.199 --> 01:07:24.360 war is worse than global warming. I'm sorry, global warming 1200 01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:25.360 is worse than nuclear war. 1201 01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:28.679 Honey, Come on, he's crazy. 1202 01:07:29.440 --> 01:07:33.320 How about this prediction from the Boston Globe of nineteen 1203 01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:37.039 seventy nine signs predict a new Ice Age by the 1204 01:07:37.079 --> 01:07:42.159 twenty first century. Experts say air pollution may obliterate the 1205 01:07:42.199 --> 01:07:44.559 sun and cause a new ice Age in the first 1206 01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:48.360 third of the next century. James P. Lodge also warned 1207 01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:51.480 that if the current rate of increase in electric power continues, 1208 01:07:51.719 --> 01:07:54.679 we will be dark. There will be no electricity production. 1209 01:07:55.039 --> 01:07:58.440 By the twenty first century, the demands for a cooling 1210 01:07:58.519 --> 01:08:01.679 water will boiled dry. The entire flow of the rivers 1211 01:08:01.679 --> 01:08:03.559 and streams of the content of the United States will 1212 01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:06.079 all run dry. He also warned that by the next 1213 01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:08.840 century we're in it now, the consumption of oxygen and 1214 01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:13.320 combustion processes worldwide will surpass all the processes which return 1215 01:08:13.400 --> 01:08:16.239 oxygen to the atmosphere. We will not be able to breathe. 1216 01:08:16.439 --> 01:08:19.600 We may have to dig caves, live underground. According to Lodge, 1217 01:08:19.720 --> 01:08:24.760 a scientist with the Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, said 1218 01:08:24.880 --> 01:08:28.600 Alaska and Awhi are already consuming more oxygen than their 1219 01:08:28.600 --> 01:08:32.039 own green plants can replace. Therefore, we will die and 1220 01:08:32.119 --> 01:08:34.439 the New Ice Age will arrive. You might recall in 1221 01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:38.159 the late nineteen seventies that we had ice and snow everywhere, 1222 01:08:38.199 --> 01:08:41.319 and time Newsweek magazine said the coming New Ice Age. 1223 01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:42.920 How'd that prediction turn out? 1224 01:08:44.239 --> 01:08:46.640 Yeah, So in the seventies they were worried about the 1225 01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:48.920 ice age. Then when it started to warm up, it 1226 01:08:49.000 --> 01:08:51.960 became global warming. But when the warming didn't really work out, 1227 01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:54.479 it became climate change. And when the people saw there's 1228 01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:58.079 no climate changes, it became extreme weather and now we're 1229 01:08:58.079 --> 01:09:02.439 at a point where, you know, seasonal weather, you know, 1230 01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:05.279 winter weather in wintertime is climate change? 1231 01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:11.880 They change not even having climate change, Yeah, it's not. 1232 01:09:12.359 --> 01:09:15.399 And how about us science and season new ice age coming? 1233 01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:18.600 This is another one. A government official says the world 1234 01:09:18.680 --> 01:09:22.359 could be under thirty to fifty inches of snow in 1235 01:09:22.399 --> 01:09:25.640 the next twenty to twenty five years, says doctor Raskell 1236 01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:29.640 of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration clumb University. Within 1237 01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:35.800 the next fifty years, the Arctic could could be essentially 1238 01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:38.960 under one hundred feet of ice, and the Equator itself 1239 01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:42.000 could be snow covered by the year twenty ten. 1240 01:09:44.039 --> 01:09:46.760 Yeah, it's only too bad that around so that we 1241 01:09:46.840 --> 01:09:49.039 can mock them, right, I mean, they should be on 1242 01:09:49.159 --> 01:09:53.520 TV explaining themselves and you know, debunking all this all 1243 01:09:53.560 --> 01:09:59.479 this apocalyptic thinking. You know, today's today's apocalyptics are all 1244 01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:02.199 you know, they're not doing it because they're crazy. They're 1245 01:10:02.199 --> 01:10:05.000 doing it because they're communists and they want us to 1246 01:10:05.399 --> 01:10:08.279 surrender control of our lives and surrender our standard of 1247 01:10:08.359 --> 01:10:12.279 living to them, you know. So, I mean, at least 1248 01:10:12.319 --> 01:10:15.159 those people were just wrong, but today's apocalyptics are knowing 1249 01:10:15.239 --> 01:10:15.720 they wrong. 1250 01:10:15.800 --> 01:10:16.439 But they're evil. 1251 01:10:17.159 --> 01:10:19.920 What are some of the apocalyptic terms being used today? 1252 01:10:19.920 --> 01:10:22.479 If you and I are around another fifty years and 1253 01:10:22.840 --> 01:10:26.600 talk radio still exists, and your grandchildren are still around 1254 01:10:26.880 --> 01:10:30.199 the the what are the predictions now and say, twenty 1255 01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:33.439 twenty twenty twenty five that are going to be wrong? 1256 01:10:33.560 --> 01:10:36.760 For example, we're being told that Florida is going to 1257 01:10:36.800 --> 01:10:40.760 be under about six feet of water, that the not 1258 01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:42.800 an ice age, we're going to we're all going to 1259 01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:45.319 boil to death, and that the oceans are rising, the 1260 01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:47.640 temperatures are going up, and we're past the point at 1261 01:10:47.640 --> 01:10:49.800 which that win out can control it. If we go 1262 01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:53.680 past two degrees fahrenheit, two point five degrees fahrenheit is 1263 01:10:53.720 --> 01:10:55.640 the point of no return. What does all that mean? 1264 01:10:58.079 --> 01:11:01.239 Well, I don't know what, you know. Unlike these people, 1265 01:11:01.319 --> 01:11:04.680 I don't predict the future. I just it's just impossible, 1266 01:11:06.039 --> 01:11:08.319 you know. All I know is that everything they've ever 1267 01:11:08.359 --> 01:11:12.159 predicted has been fault, has not come true. Their predictions 1268 01:11:12.159 --> 01:11:15.479 are fake. They're not science. Nothing they say, nothing they 1269 01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:17.960 predict is ever going to happen because they're always wrong, 1270 01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:21.199 and they're wrong, not because they make factual error. They're 1271 01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:25.640 wrong because they're you know, driven by their policy agenda, 1272 01:11:26.119 --> 01:11:29.760 and you know, I don't know what the future holds. 1273 01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:34.640 I mean, humanity has survived all sorts of slight climate change. 1274 01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:36.439 And that's the only thing that can ever really happen, 1275 01:11:36.479 --> 01:11:39.439 slight climate change unless there's a catastrophe like you know, 1276 01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:43.520 nuclear war, you know, global nuclear war, or an asteroid 1277 01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:46.640 hits something like that, you know, that could change the climate. 1278 01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:50.720 But emissions, there's no evidence that emissions have had any effect, 1279 01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:53.600 let alone a warming effect, let alone a harmful effect 1280 01:11:53.960 --> 01:11:54.640 on our planet. 1281 01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:59.159 Lastly, the acid rain was a big thing about twenty 1282 01:11:59.159 --> 01:12:01.760 five years ago. Had lines all over the country acid 1283 01:12:01.880 --> 01:12:05.520 rain kills lake killed. I'm sorry, acid rain kills life 1284 01:12:05.520 --> 01:12:08.199 in lakes. There's no the fish are being killed all 1285 01:12:08.199 --> 01:12:11.600 over Minnesota, Michigan. All the lakes are dying. Then about 1286 01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:14.439 fifteen years later, the US government came out with a 1287 01:12:14.479 --> 01:12:19.399 long study quote acid rain no environmental impact study concludes. 1288 01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:21.319 So we changed. 1289 01:12:21.680 --> 01:12:26.880 Another classic hoax. First off, all rain is acidic. It 1290 01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:30.000 comes through the atmosphere, the water mixes with the carbon 1291 01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:32.439 do side, and it's you know, and the other gases 1292 01:12:32.439 --> 01:12:35.119 in the atmosphere, and so it's slightly acidic. But then 1293 01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:38.399 when it falls to the ground, it gets neutralized. This 1294 01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:40.760 is you know, and there's no evidence that the lakes 1295 01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:44.560 or waterways became more cidic. Today we hear about ocean acidification. 1296 01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:48.840 There's no such thing happening. First off, the ocean is 1297 01:12:48.880 --> 01:12:53.640 not acidifying. You know, maybe it's becoming slightly less basic, 1298 01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:57.680 but you know, cleaning ocean is acidification is like saying 1299 01:12:57.760 --> 01:12:59.439 that two is more negative than three. 1300 01:12:59.520 --> 01:12:59.840 It's not. 1301 01:13:01.560 --> 01:13:06.439 I mean, in the year two thousand and one, within 1302 01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:10.520 twenty years the Malbes, the Islands, and the Pacific, two 1303 01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:13.600 hundred thousand people should be under the ocean. Twenty five 1304 01:13:13.680 --> 01:13:17.479 years later, there's been no rise whatsoever in the Maldives 1305 01:13:17.479 --> 01:13:20.680 that they still exist. They're still doing quite well. And 1306 01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:23.760 in fact, we had a dry summer. We've had kind 1307 01:13:23.760 --> 01:13:27.720 of a cold winter, especially in the Midwest, weather's been terrible. 1308 01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:31.239 But that's never an example. So give us the facts. 1309 01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:33.600 We went about two minutes from Manning Steve Maloy junk 1310 01:13:33.640 --> 01:13:34.520 science dot com. 1311 01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:35.760 What are they? 1312 01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:37.880 What is the present thing? 1313 01:13:38.039 --> 01:13:43.079 The fahrenheit thinking, You know, the most recent data shows 1314 01:13:43.079 --> 01:13:45.880 that like ninety percent of them are actually increasing in 1315 01:13:45.960 --> 01:13:49.000 size and increasing is not decreasing as far as I 1316 01:13:49.000 --> 01:13:49.439 can tell. 1317 01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:52.039 So there's no there there. 1318 01:13:52.079 --> 01:13:56.520 I'm telling you. If these people are talking, they're lying, and. 1319 01:13:56.439 --> 01:13:59.840 They're doing it for power positions and money. Look at 1320 01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:03.520 what USA has found, which is millions of dollars handed 1321 01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:07.279 out to think tanks to come to a defined conclusion 1322 01:14:07.319 --> 01:14:10.039 that will drive public policy. And I think that's the key. 1323 01:14:10.159 --> 01:14:14.039 They want a defined conclusion to drive public policy, which 1324 01:14:14.079 --> 01:14:15.960 is always spending more money. 1325 01:14:16.319 --> 01:14:19.159 Yeah, I can't wait till those gets over to EPA 1326 01:14:19.399 --> 01:14:22.880 and the Department of Energy and Department of Interior and 1327 01:14:22.920 --> 01:14:25.920 we can find out, you know, how much money has 1328 01:14:25.960 --> 01:14:29.960 been wasted on not only crazy climate research and clean 1329 01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:33.159 energy projects, but how much money has gone to these 1330 01:14:33.279 --> 01:14:36.760 green activist groups. So the government is paying the green 1331 01:14:36.840 --> 01:14:40.119 activist groups to lobby the government or you know, do 1332 01:14:40.199 --> 01:14:43.479 other nefarious work to advance this lestling agenda. We need 1333 01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:44.359 to learn about that. 1334 01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:50.560 Lastly, quote, children won't know what snow is. That's the 1335 01:14:50.680 --> 01:14:54.359 year two thousand that snow. Children have no idea what 1336 01:14:54.399 --> 01:14:57.840 that is. Famine will be rampant, the skies will turn green, 1337 01:14:58.279 --> 01:15:00.720 all of us will live underground. Sure, any of that 1338 01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:05.000 is true. I see snow everywhere. But nonetheless, Steve mlloy 1339 01:15:05.039 --> 01:15:08.039 once again junk science dot Com. It's all there. Thanks 1340 01:15:08.039 --> 01:15:10.239 for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, Steve, thank you, 1341 01:15:10.279 --> 01:15:13.159 well said, it's all free. God bless you. Thank you. 1342 01:15:13.640 --> 01:15:17.600 Let's continue with more headline New York Times. Two thousand 1343 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:22.319 children won't know what snow is. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, 1344 01:15:22.439 --> 01:15:32.079 live with you every Sunday night. You know, it's kind 1345 01:15:32.079 --> 01:15:34.840 of amazing. We have the stories I shared with you 1346 01:15:34.920 --> 01:15:38.960 with Steve mlloy Junkstump. The kids were told forty years ago, 1347 01:15:39.039 --> 01:15:41.680 thirty years ago they would never see snow again. When 1348 01:15:41.720 --> 01:15:43.680 I look out at the window, all I see is snow. 1349 01:15:43.960 --> 01:15:46.600 When I look around, all I see is ice. And 1350 01:15:47.119 --> 01:15:50.960 every prediction of the climate alarmists has proven to be false. 1351 01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:54.399 Whatever difficulties we have, they can be solved. All of 1352 01:15:54.479 --> 01:15:57.000 us are against pollution, but none of us believe that 1353 01:15:57.119 --> 01:16:00.399 the humankind can affect the rotation of the plan. Let's 1354 01:16:00.399 --> 01:16:03.520 continue with more. Coming up next will be uh Curtis 1355 01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:27.000 Houfing so much more. Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday. 1356 01:16:28.920 --> 01:16:37.119 Willie brought you by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway 1357 01:16:37.119 --> 01:16:40.199 In Hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying stay. 1358 01:16:40.479 --> 01:16:42.560 Book at Choice hotels dot com. 1359 01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:46.239 Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best, 1360 01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:50.439 the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards 1361 01:16:50.560 --> 01:17:00.520 for his broadcast excellence, the one and only Bill Cunningham. 1362 01:16:57.640 --> 01:17:00.479 By Billy Cunningham, the great American. Of course, Media Research 1363 01:17:00.520 --> 01:17:05.079 Center also NewsBusters dot org, a part thereof covers the 1364 01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:09.279 mainstream media garbage in, garbage out. If all the information 1365 01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:11.760 you received from the so called mainstream media is wrong, 1366 01:17:12.279 --> 01:17:15.680 you may cast a ballot based upon fraudulent information. So 1367 01:17:15.720 --> 01:17:20.079 the services of Brent Broseel's group Media Research Center NewsBusters 1368 01:17:20.119 --> 01:17:23.119 dot org is really important. Joining you and I, I 1369 01:17:23.960 --> 01:17:27.560 is Curtis Howck. He's a representative of MRC, executive vice 1370 01:17:27.600 --> 01:17:31.439 president of NewsBusters dot org, in which they chronicle daily, hourly, 1371 01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:34.359 every minute with the American people see, read, and hear 1372 01:17:34.479 --> 01:17:38.039 through the mainstream media. And Curtis Houck, managing editor of 1373 01:17:38.119 --> 01:17:41.319 a NewsBusters Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. One 1374 01:17:41.359 --> 01:17:43.720 thing I noticed going on now whenever there's an air 1375 01:17:43.720 --> 01:17:47.239 traffic control incident, and Salley has been several recently, that 1376 01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:51.920 number one, it's Donald Trump's fault and you have a 1377 01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:55.680 COLLAGQUI here involving NBC News, who is a critical of 1378 01:17:55.920 --> 01:17:59.880 Trump's attempt to overhaul the outdated air traffic control system, 1379 01:18:00.319 --> 01:18:03.600 and on The Today Show, correspondent Ryan Nobles ripped Trump 1380 01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:07.560 for quotes suggesting the aviation system is outdated without providing 1381 01:18:07.600 --> 01:18:09.600 examples to which you know it is. So, how does 1382 01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:12.720 the media say one thing about air traffic controllers that 1383 01:18:12.800 --> 01:18:16.279 may contribute to airplane crashes, et cetera. On one hand, 1384 01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:18.520 but on the other hand, we know it's an outdated 1385 01:18:18.560 --> 01:18:21.319 system because the American people are getting the correct information. 1386 01:18:21.479 --> 01:18:22.920 Explain that to the American people. 1387 01:18:24.239 --> 01:18:27.399 Well, yeah, Bill, I mean, I think without evidence is 1388 01:18:27.479 --> 01:18:31.159 like the liberal media's favorite catchphrase. You feel like, you know, 1389 01:18:31.880 --> 01:18:35.199 they love saying that. They love saying that to describe 1390 01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:40.319 anything alleged about anything by anyone they don't like, regardless 1391 01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:43.640 of whether it's true or not. It's the new your 1392 01:18:43.840 --> 01:18:47.560 racist or your sexist. They use this as an attempt 1393 01:18:47.640 --> 01:18:52.560 to shut down discussion of, you know, whatever they want 1394 01:18:52.600 --> 01:18:54.479 to talk about. In this case, it's air traffic control. 1395 01:18:54.880 --> 01:18:56.319 The other thing that's really been in the news is 1396 01:18:56.399 --> 01:19:02.199 Doge Friday Morning CNN high this insane Tiron saying Trump 1397 01:19:02.279 --> 01:19:06.199 musk alleged massive fraud in government without solid proofs. It's 1398 01:19:06.239 --> 01:19:08.680 the same sort of thing they do this on issue 1399 01:19:08.680 --> 01:19:12.159 after issue, where you know, they'll say that, oh, there's 1400 01:19:12.199 --> 01:19:16.119 not there's not fraud. You know, there's not fraud in government. No, 1401 01:19:16.520 --> 01:19:21.800 thea is just fine. Uh, just forget about just forget 1402 01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:23.840 about the fact that you know, people have been saying 1403 01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:26.880 this for decades NAKA the Union for our Traffic Controllers 1404 01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:30.279 have been saying, uh, something needs to change. Forget about 1405 01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:34.000 all that stuff. There's no evidence. It's amazing to see Bill, 1406 01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:36.920 how you know. I mean, we knew this to be 1407 01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:41.199 true already, but the left has gone, you know, from 1408 01:19:41.279 --> 01:19:44.439 claiming to stand up for the little guy and working people, 1409 01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:48.640 average Americans to providing aid and comfort to the government. 1410 01:19:49.359 --> 01:19:52.079 That's really what this is. Oh, the poor federal workers, 1411 01:19:52.119 --> 01:19:55.079 Oh my gosh, this is this is just awful. They're 1412 01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:58.720 just you know, these people are glorified college professors with tenure. 1413 01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:02.720 That's really what we been dealing with. Yes, people go 1414 01:20:02.760 --> 01:20:05.640 in there for job security and government. But at the 1415 01:20:05.640 --> 01:20:09.760 same time, the idea that they've never been you know, 1416 01:20:09.880 --> 01:20:13.760 exposed to or have to deal with uncertain job environments, 1417 01:20:14.039 --> 01:20:17.279 which literally the rest of the ninety nine percent of 1418 01:20:17.319 --> 01:20:21.239 the country has to deal with is just rich. 1419 01:20:21.560 --> 01:20:23.840 You know what, one of the great things at NewsBusters 1420 01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:27.079 dot org is, unbeknownst to you, me or and everyone, 1421 01:20:27.119 --> 01:20:30.279 there's a there's a limestone mine in the state of Pennsylvania, 1422 01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:34.000 two hundred and fifty feet below ground in which Theay's 1423 01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:37.119 store box after box. I can imagine that documents in 1424 01:20:37.159 --> 01:20:41.000 there of federal employee records. If you want to retire, 1425 01:20:41.119 --> 01:20:44.119 you have to retire through a limestone mine. Some were 1426 01:20:44.199 --> 01:20:48.960 underground in Pennsylvania guarded taking hundreds of federal employees currently, 1427 01:20:49.439 --> 01:20:53.000 and the records are kept there underground in a limestone mine, 1428 01:20:53.279 --> 01:20:55.600 which is costing a taxpayer and then in the range 1429 01:20:55.640 --> 01:20:58.520 of twenty to forty million dollars a year to store 1430 01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:01.720 paper in a limestone mind, and that's justified. 1431 01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:06.920 Yeah, it is uh ridiculous. I mean, there was a 1432 01:21:07.000 --> 01:21:10.439 question at the White House Press briefing this past week 1433 01:21:11.199 --> 01:21:16.880 Caroline Levitt somebody from CBS, Jennifer Jacobs, who said, you know, 1434 01:21:17.399 --> 01:21:19.880 are these things that you're pointing out and el Musk 1435 01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:23.600 is talking about, are these really actually examples of waste, 1436 01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:26.199 fraud and abuse or are these justa she don't like 1437 01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:28.960 and Caroline was kind of shocked, but she had a 1438 01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:32.600 great answer. She didn't completely flipped out. She just calmly said, well, 1439 01:21:32.640 --> 01:21:34.520 if you want to stand up here and defense some 1440 01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:37.800 of these things as worthwhile uses of the taxpayer dime, 1441 01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:41.439 be my guest, because it's not gonna work. It's not 1442 01:21:41.479 --> 01:21:44.479 gonna go well for you. You know, the government, even 1443 01:21:44.680 --> 01:21:50.279 under the most lean circumstances, people support things like airtraffic controllers. 1444 01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:56.960 People's the military paying our you know, veterans, providing them 1445 01:21:57.000 --> 01:21:59.840 great care. But when it comes to these other things, 1446 01:22:00.239 --> 01:22:06.720 Department of Education CFPB usaid, you know, there's this suck 1447 01:22:07.000 --> 01:22:09.520 thinking that, oh no, it's just money for kids to 1448 01:22:09.560 --> 01:22:13.079 have school lunches, or the CFPB is like the only 1449 01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:15.239 thing standing in the way of protecting people from fraud. 1450 01:22:15.319 --> 01:22:19.239 And it's like, what like, I mean, yes, we had 1451 01:22:19.359 --> 01:22:22.359 like things were created, certain ages were created after the 1452 01:22:22.359 --> 01:22:25.479 scandal of that scandal, but it's like America was the 1453 01:22:25.520 --> 01:22:29.359 wild wild West until like the age of Barack Obama 1454 01:22:29.520 --> 01:22:32.279 or Jimmy Carter before that is just insane. 1455 01:22:33.000 --> 01:22:34.960 Curtis Hock, you have a great column up about the 1456 01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:37.319 CBS Evening News used to be the gold standard. I 1457 01:22:37.319 --> 01:22:39.960 can think of the days. Everyone in the CBS Evening 1458 01:22:39.960 --> 01:22:43.079 News with Walter Cronkite, this is wonderful and unbeknownst to 1459 01:22:43.119 --> 01:22:45.520 many people, Laura O'Donnell, who was the anchor for the 1460 01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:48.640 last few years, had terrible ratings. Nobody watched, so they 1461 01:22:48.680 --> 01:22:51.479 decided to go with a dual anchor system of John 1462 01:22:51.520 --> 01:22:54.760 Dickerson and Maurice du Bois. They're up there telling us 1463 01:22:54.800 --> 01:22:58.520 every day about the CBS Evening News, and they're comparing 1464 01:22:58.960 --> 01:23:02.279 the Ukraine peace deal, which may or may not occur. 1465 01:23:02.359 --> 01:23:05.079 I hope it does, to the nineteen thirty eight Adolf 1466 01:23:05.199 --> 01:23:08.600 Hitler appeasement that somehow CBS nuve says that if there's 1467 01:23:08.680 --> 01:23:12.319 peace in the Ukraine, it's similar to Chamberlain coming back 1468 01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:15.800 with peace in our times, comparing the fight with Russia 1469 01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:18.640 and Ukraine to Nazi Germany. Explain that one for us. 1470 01:23:20.359 --> 01:23:23.800 Wow, this one is insane. You know, I'm a very 1471 01:23:23.840 --> 01:23:26.359 pro Ukraine person. A lot of our guys in the 1472 01:23:26.359 --> 01:23:28.680 office are, and it kind of leaves us out of 1473 01:23:28.680 --> 01:23:30.560 step with a lot of folks on the right. But 1474 01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:34.079 even this story last night got me like driving up 1475 01:23:34.079 --> 01:23:37.399 a wall. Or jorgeven Ea bit the bullet and wrote 1476 01:23:37.399 --> 01:23:40.359 it up for us. But you know, they proposed no alternatives. 1477 01:23:40.560 --> 01:23:44.119 They just simply covetched and belliated about all the things 1478 01:23:44.119 --> 01:23:48.000 that Donald Trump is doing or proposing in terms of Ukraine. 1479 01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:50.680 To simply say that the war has to end. They're saying, oh, 1480 01:23:50.720 --> 01:23:55.439 he's appeasing and giving in to Putin. They proposed no alternatives. 1481 01:23:55.479 --> 01:23:57.399 And this is the thing the liberal media bill they 1482 01:23:57.479 --> 01:24:01.520 love to complain and complain and complain about Republicans ill 1483 01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:04.119 I don't like this. They're not doing nick rough, but 1484 01:24:04.199 --> 01:24:08.159 they offer no alternatives in terms of like, okay, so 1485 01:24:08.239 --> 01:24:10.199 what do you think you guys should do instead? And 1486 01:24:10.439 --> 01:24:12.880 their guys have had four years to figure this out 1487 01:24:13.239 --> 01:24:16.600 and they have to, you know, upset with the fact that, 1488 01:24:16.720 --> 01:24:20.039 you know, Pete Heiksa simply said, hey, guys, going back 1489 01:24:20.079 --> 01:24:22.800 to how things were before, like Russian invaded Crimea in 1490 01:24:22.840 --> 01:24:26.319 eastern Ukraine in twenty fourteen, probably not going to happen 1491 01:24:27.279 --> 01:24:30.800 like this. That was somehow some affront to humanity. And 1492 01:24:30.840 --> 01:24:33.840 it's like it's called being realistic, guys. 1493 01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:38.399 Well, another posting at NewsBusters dot org involves ABC News. 1494 01:24:38.439 --> 01:24:41.439 You may not know it, but the view every East 1495 01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:44.199 every day, eleven am Eastern time, is a product of 1496 01:24:44.279 --> 01:24:47.960 ABC News. Peter Jennings will be rolling over in his 1497 01:24:48.039 --> 01:24:51.760 grave and Sunny Houston, among the most leftering, ridiculous so 1498 01:24:51.840 --> 01:24:55.119 called journalists in the world, claims that Trump is acting 1499 01:24:55.199 --> 01:24:59.479 the Department of Education to create a permanent underclass that 1500 01:24:59.560 --> 01:25:02.560 has gone in the billionaires, to have a permanent group 1501 01:25:02.640 --> 01:25:06.119 of kids, especially in urban areas, they can't read and write. Well, 1502 01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:07.039 what the hell's happening? 1503 01:25:07.079 --> 01:25:07.319 Now? 1504 01:25:07.520 --> 01:25:10.520 What's going on as I speak, the permanent underclass? And 1505 01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:13.159 they want to change in and empower the states to 1506 01:25:13.199 --> 01:25:16.760 do a better job. But this article describes the status 1507 01:25:16.800 --> 01:25:19.960 of public education today, which is the worst in the world. 1508 01:25:20.239 --> 01:25:22.399 So if we try to fix it, then you want 1509 01:25:22.399 --> 01:25:24.079 to create a permanent underclass. 1510 01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:29.399 Yeah, hold on, Bill, I thought the leftising I thought 1511 01:25:29.399 --> 01:25:31.479 it's the left that's trying to create a permanent on 1512 01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:35.720 your class by keeping illegal immigrants in this country. But okay, 1513 01:25:35.800 --> 01:25:38.720 well that's just yeah, yeah, because that's kind of what 1514 01:25:38.760 --> 01:25:41.079 they're doing. But who will pick the cotton. They sound 1515 01:25:41.159 --> 01:25:44.720 like pre Civil War Confederates out there, so for them 1516 01:25:44.720 --> 01:25:47.439 to talk about a permanent end class is just rich 1517 01:25:47.880 --> 01:25:51.239 with irony. You know, President Trump is absolutely right that 1518 01:25:51.279 --> 01:25:57.079 we spend poodles of cash year after a year in suburban, urban, 1519 01:25:57.319 --> 01:26:03.600 rural school districts that are struggling, and things aren't exactly improving. 1520 01:26:03.880 --> 01:26:07.239 Things are not very good. And to put it mildly, 1521 01:26:07.439 --> 01:26:11.399 so the solution maybe is not to throw more money 1522 01:26:11.399 --> 01:26:13.760 at it, because that's really what the Department of Education 1523 01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:18.840 has been in large parts. It has been redirecting money, 1524 01:26:18.960 --> 01:26:22.439 giving out plots of money, and clearly things are not 1525 01:26:22.560 --> 01:26:23.159 going well. 1526 01:26:23.199 --> 01:26:24.199 We have a. 1527 01:26:24.279 --> 01:26:29.640 Mental and psychological scourge in this country that is still 1528 01:26:29.800 --> 01:26:33.359 revealing itself in the students who are still in school 1529 01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:37.319 and going into adulthood who went through COVID in schools. 1530 01:26:37.760 --> 01:26:40.479 My brother is a high school teacher, my dad is 1531 01:26:40.560 --> 01:26:45.920 a SRO at another school back in Leicester, Pennsylvania, and 1532 01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:50.239 they see this too, that certain age groups that we're 1533 01:26:50.279 --> 01:26:55.000 going through, particularly already what would be challenging school years 1534 01:26:55.640 --> 01:26:58.880 as they move up through school are just they just 1535 01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:02.319 behave differently in a bad way compared to the other 1536 01:27:02.439 --> 01:27:06.520 kids who are younger and did work going through school 1537 01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:11.560 during COVID. And I just think, you know, something has 1538 01:27:11.600 --> 01:27:14.439 to change, and President Trump is saying, let's change it. 1539 01:27:14.760 --> 01:27:17.640 But for CNN to say that there's no solid Proof 1540 01:27:17.720 --> 01:27:20.199 or ABC to say there's a permanent underclass being created 1541 01:27:20.680 --> 01:27:22.399 is just doom casting. 1542 01:27:23.039 --> 01:27:26.520 And you know, Curtis Halkumnewsbusters dot Org, Managing editor. One 1543 01:27:26.520 --> 01:27:29.439 thing I've noticed it's that when fourth grade testing occurs, 1544 01:27:29.960 --> 01:27:33.560 that there's a large disparity between whether a fourth grader 1545 01:27:33.560 --> 01:27:36.359 can read or not. You kind of learn to read 1546 01:27:36.720 --> 01:27:39.319 and then you read to learn, and the longer you're 1547 01:27:39.359 --> 01:27:41.520 in many of these public schools in the cities, in 1548 01:27:41.560 --> 01:27:45.039 the rural areas, by the eighth grade, it's going backwards. 1549 01:27:45.039 --> 01:27:46.760 In other words, you would hope in the fourth grade 1550 01:27:46.760 --> 01:27:49.920 there are many good governors. And in fact, George Bush 1551 01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:52.840 forty three had this promise to read in the fourth 1552 01:27:52.840 --> 01:27:56.000 grade requirement of doe. How did that work out? Not 1553 01:27:56.079 --> 01:27:58.680 well at all. And so if you don't learn to read, 1554 01:27:58.720 --> 01:28:01.159 you can't read to learn. And so the longer you're 1555 01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:04.439 in school, the worse it gets. And so the solution 1556 01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:07.319 is not to keep doing the same thing ninety two 1557 01:28:07.399 --> 01:28:11.479 billion dollars a year spending Department of Education. Maybe take 1558 01:28:11.520 --> 01:28:14.520 that might take forty billion centerto the states and say 1559 01:28:14.640 --> 01:28:17.279 you at the local level, determine what to do because 1560 01:28:17.319 --> 01:28:20.960 we have failed. There's some ridiculous number hundreds of thousands 1561 01:28:20.960 --> 01:28:24.880 of DOE employees who spend ninety two billion dollars. And 1562 01:28:25.159 --> 01:28:27.399 by the time these same kids in the fourth grade 1563 01:28:27.399 --> 01:28:30.399 that they do poorly by the eighth grade is dismal. 1564 01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:33.520 By the twelfth grade, you have diplomas that can't be 1565 01:28:33.600 --> 01:28:35.319 read by a lot of the kids. In fact, eighty 1566 01:28:35.359 --> 01:28:38.319 percent of eighty percent of eighth graders cannot read at 1567 01:28:38.319 --> 01:28:40.520 the appropriate level. And if you don't learn to read, 1568 01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:43.840 you can't read to learn. And instead of trying something different, 1569 01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:47.520 they're attacking Donald Trump for saying education is a local matter. 1570 01:28:47.760 --> 01:28:50.039 And I know you believe this curtis out, but I'll 1571 01:28:50.079 --> 01:28:52.359 say it that it's up to parents. It's up to 1572 01:28:52.399 --> 01:28:54.159 a good mom or a good dad. I had a 1573 01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:56.359 great mom and a bad dad. But by the time 1574 01:28:56.399 --> 01:28:58.720 I went to school as the first grader, I knew 1575 01:28:58.720 --> 01:29:01.079 how to read, and by the time was a fourth grader, 1576 01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:03.680 I was reading to learn other stuff. And so if 1577 01:29:03.680 --> 01:29:06.279 you have terrible parents that don't get a four or 1578 01:29:06.359 --> 01:29:09.359 five six year old ready for school, I say shut 1579 01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:11.920 down the system and begin in the first grade. We're 1580 01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:14.119 going to have a new sheriff in town, which means, 1581 01:29:14.319 --> 01:29:16.039 guess what you're going to learn to read by the 1582 01:29:16.079 --> 01:29:18.800 time you come to school. And if not, stop what 1583 01:29:18.840 --> 01:29:22.000 we're doing, try something different, because the longer these kids 1584 01:29:22.039 --> 01:29:24.000 are in school, the worse they get. Now that's the 1585 01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:26.119 permanent underclass, would you agree. 1586 01:29:27.079 --> 01:29:27.319 Yeah. 1587 01:29:27.399 --> 01:29:30.359 My brother teaches high school math, so it's a very 1588 01:29:30.359 --> 01:29:34.960 similar issue. It's the other issue that's tested multiple times 1589 01:29:35.000 --> 01:29:38.920 throughout the student's time in grade school, so he sees 1590 01:29:38.960 --> 01:29:40.840 that as well. And my dad, actually, before he became 1591 01:29:40.880 --> 01:29:44.359 an SRO, taught health and pe and middle school for 1592 01:29:44.359 --> 01:29:47.760 twenty years and it was much the same thing, talking 1593 01:29:47.800 --> 01:29:50.079 about parental involvement. I couldn't I can't tell you how 1594 01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:52.640 many times still I heard my dad talk about that 1595 01:29:52.720 --> 01:29:54.439 when he'd come home from school and he'd be sitting 1596 01:29:54.439 --> 01:29:58.800 at the dinner table talking about issues involving parental involvement. 1597 01:29:58.880 --> 01:30:02.560 That behavior stems from what's going on at home. Yet, 1598 01:30:02.720 --> 01:30:05.640 teachers can change lives. My third grade teacher got me 1599 01:30:05.680 --> 01:30:09.039 interested in politics and the presidency and that changed my life. 1600 01:30:09.680 --> 01:30:14.399 But you also need parents, absolutely duty tango. 1601 01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:17.439 Now, lastly, one of my bugaboos the last twenty or 1602 01:30:17.439 --> 01:30:21.199 thirty years is public broadcasting, and that is five reasons 1603 01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:23.039 to have funded I've not heard much yet from the 1604 01:30:23.079 --> 01:30:28.039 Trumpster about defunding public broadcasting, which is terrible, and if 1605 01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:30.800 you want to support it, I love all these fundraising 1606 01:30:30.880 --> 01:30:33.359 drives in which the Beg's are brought back to life 1607 01:30:33.520 --> 01:30:36.319 and they perform for you in condition that you send 1608 01:30:36.359 --> 01:30:38.159 in one hundred and ten dollars to get a CD 1609 01:30:38.319 --> 01:30:41.079 for whatever the hell that is of the Beg's. But 1610 01:30:41.239 --> 01:30:44.760 explain one or two reasons why public broadcasting needs to 1611 01:30:44.760 --> 01:30:46.760 be defunded immediately, if not sooner. 1612 01:30:48.399 --> 01:30:51.439 Yeah, I mean this is actually insane. I mean the 1613 01:30:51.439 --> 01:30:54.039 one that we hear a lot about about NewsBusters and 1614 01:30:54.119 --> 01:30:56.840 you talk about a lot is just a bias obviously, 1615 01:30:58.279 --> 01:31:00.760 just on the issue of transgender is we looked at 1616 01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:02.840 seven months of the PBS news hower, they game over 1617 01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:07.319 ninety percent more airtime of airtime to the left view 1618 01:31:07.640 --> 01:31:13.680 about transgenderism. And when it comes to money, yes, I'm 1619 01:31:13.720 --> 01:31:16.680 totally with you. If you want to support this, you should. 1620 01:31:17.680 --> 01:31:21.520 In PBS has three hundred and forty five affiliates, which 1621 01:31:21.560 --> 01:31:23.880 is insane when you consider ABC is two forty eight, 1622 01:31:23.960 --> 01:31:28.359 CBS two fifty one, NBC two thirty five. On NPR 1623 01:31:28.600 --> 01:31:32.760 there is one thousand and eighty five NPR affiliates the 1624 01:31:32.880 --> 01:31:37.079 same of New York alone had seventy three. That is insane, 1625 01:31:37.199 --> 01:31:40.279 you know, the two belt. Lastly, the equipment, they get 1626 01:31:40.319 --> 01:31:42.680 the nicest equipment out there. 1627 01:31:43.439 --> 01:31:43.960 Uh. 1628 01:31:44.000 --> 01:31:46.720 And the idea that like, oh, if you shut down 1629 01:31:46.800 --> 01:31:50.119 the four NPR, one of the four NPR affiliates or 1630 01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:53.520 three of them in a small town, people are still 1631 01:31:53.520 --> 01:31:56.079 gonna get their news. Is not going to be the 1632 01:31:56.199 --> 01:31:57.560 end of the world. 1633 01:31:58.279 --> 01:32:01.159 There's a lot to say about transgender on the other side, 1634 01:32:01.159 --> 01:32:04.039 which is the dam whage cause long term to sexually 1635 01:32:04.119 --> 01:32:07.680 mutilate teenage boys and girls, to give them puberty blockers 1636 01:32:07.680 --> 01:32:11.720 that changes them permanently. Britain did this long, extensive, twenty 1637 01:32:11.720 --> 01:32:14.720 five year study that set over seventy percent of those 1638 01:32:14.760 --> 01:32:18.479 who went through transgenderisms of one top hormones or surgery 1639 01:32:18.560 --> 01:32:20.960 said in their thirties and forties, guess what we made 1640 01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:24.239 A serious blunder, a serious mistake. There's loss to be 1641 01:32:24.279 --> 01:32:26.319 said for that. We don't tell a fourteen year old 1642 01:32:26.319 --> 01:32:28.159 that can drive a car, you can smoke a cigarette, 1643 01:32:28.199 --> 01:32:30.239 you can't have a contract, you can't get married. But 1644 01:32:30.279 --> 01:32:33.960 guess what with the doctor's permission and the hospital's permission 1645 01:32:33.960 --> 01:32:36.880 and the parents' permission, you can sexually mutilate a fourteen 1646 01:32:36.960 --> 01:32:41.079 or fifteen year old. That's absurd. But to consider that 1647 01:32:41.239 --> 01:32:43.720 PBS right now is funded to the tune of five 1648 01:32:43.840 --> 01:32:47.279 hundred million dollars. To me, that's low hanging fruit. Because 1649 01:32:47.840 --> 01:32:52.199 the other issue, Curtis House is somewhat duplicitous. I get 1650 01:32:52.239 --> 01:32:54.600 the same information from the New York Times, I get 1651 01:32:54.640 --> 01:32:59.319 it from CBS, NBC, ABC, I get it everywhere. Liberalism 1652 01:32:59.399 --> 01:33:02.239 is you big and so it's not like giving us 1653 01:33:02.279 --> 01:33:05.600 counter programming to the mainstream media. It is the mainstream 1654 01:33:05.640 --> 01:33:06.960 media and we're paying for it. 1655 01:33:08.279 --> 01:33:18.279 Yeah, WLW, your main station has, you know, is public airwaves, ACCBS, NBC. 1656 01:33:18.640 --> 01:33:21.119 You can still get it with the old rabbit ears. 1657 01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:21.840 See. 1658 01:33:21.880 --> 01:33:25.760 The idea that you somehow need another one that is 1659 01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:30.319 funded by the taxpayers is ludicrous at this. 1660 01:33:30.239 --> 01:33:33.760 Point, Curtis Hauk once again, thank you for coming on 1661 01:33:33.800 --> 01:33:36.159 the Bill Cunningham Show. And Curtis, you're a great American. 1662 01:33:37.199 --> 01:33:38.199 You are a great American. 1663 01:33:38.279 --> 01:33:39.239 Bill talk again soon. 1664 01:33:39.840 --> 01:33:43.279 God bless America. Let's continue with more and if the 1665 01:33:43.319 --> 01:33:47.000 line becomes available, and you know the routine. But PBS 1666 01:33:47.399 --> 01:33:50.439 get the same information through numerous media outlets. But why 1667 01:33:50.479 --> 01:33:53.840 do we pay for it directly? Is beyond me. Bill Cunningham, 1668 01:33:53.840 --> 01:34:00.680 the Grand American, live with you every Sunday night. Goody, 1669 01:34:00.720 --> 01:34:02.560 Bill cunning Into, the Great American. I love to have 1670 01:34:02.680 --> 01:34:06.840 NewsBusters dot org out there, which records constantly every minute 1671 01:34:06.840 --> 01:34:11.039 of every day, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and more, New 1672 01:34:11.119 --> 01:34:13.680 York Times, Washington Post, and they put them all together 1673 01:34:13.720 --> 01:34:17.960 for you. Now. One thing happened earlier today and yesterday 1674 01:34:18.560 --> 01:34:21.199 was that there appears to be a CNN White House 1675 01:34:21.199 --> 01:34:28.199 correspondent deleting a tweet supporting CEO killer Luigi Mangione's defense fund, 1676 01:34:28.479 --> 01:34:31.760 that being Caitlin Collins. She is perceived to be the 1677 01:34:31.800 --> 01:34:35.520 next superstar after the old Wolf Flitzer has finally retired, 1678 01:34:36.079 --> 01:34:39.600 and along with Jake Tapper, and she had a tweet 1679 01:34:39.680 --> 01:34:43.199 up under her CNN moniker in which she had listed 1680 01:34:43.600 --> 01:34:47.199 a fund to raise money for Luigi MAGGIONI. You might 1681 01:34:47.279 --> 01:34:51.359 know that on onor about December the fourth, about what 1682 01:34:51.399 --> 01:34:55.520 about three months ago, Brian Thompson, a father of three 1683 01:34:55.920 --> 01:34:57.880 and the CEO of Not at Health, was walking to 1684 01:34:57.920 --> 01:35:00.199 Manhattan to an early morning meeting at a big time 1685 01:35:00.279 --> 01:35:06.359 hotel in Manhattan and Luigi MAGGIONEI stalked him and killed 1686 01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:09.079 him in cold blood. It was like a political assassination, 1687 01:35:09.279 --> 01:35:12.479 killing someone for their beliefs, for their job. And it 1688 01:35:12.520 --> 01:35:18.680 appears that CNN's Caitlin Collins listed on her ex account 1689 01:35:18.960 --> 01:35:22.039 the Defense Fund, which believe it or not, has raised 1690 01:35:22.039 --> 01:35:25.520 about a half a million dollars so far to defend 1691 01:35:25.960 --> 01:35:30.960 this murderer committing murder on video, a murder which is 1692 01:35:31.039 --> 01:35:33.760 captured on video, and it was predicted and it was 1693 01:35:33.800 --> 01:35:36.479 talked about in the mainstream media as an excuse. I 1694 01:35:36.520 --> 01:35:38.920 don't buy it at all, but let's continue with more. 1695 01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:41.760 Coming up next will be the status of American education 1696 01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:45.640 with doctor Suzanne Barcher's and It's not good Bill Cunningham, 1697 01:35:45.680 --> 01:35:49.640 The Great American with you every Sunday Night by Bill Cunningham, 1698 01:35:49.680 --> 01:35:52.199 The Great American. And one of the items on the 1699 01:35:52.279 --> 01:35:55.000 chopping block. And the Trump administration is taking about the 1700 01:35:55.119 --> 01:35:58.079 ninety billion dollars out of the US Department of Education, 1701 01:35:58.560 --> 01:36:00.920 not to jump into the ocean, to have the state 1702 01:36:01.000 --> 01:36:04.680 departments of Education and Minister of the money. And many 1703 01:36:04.680 --> 01:36:07.079 people find that attractive. I watched this morning one of 1704 01:36:07.119 --> 01:36:09.640 the cable shows with Ranny Weingardner, who's the head of 1705 01:36:09.640 --> 01:36:12.520 the Teachers Union. She hates this. She doesn't like the 1706 01:36:12.560 --> 01:36:15.680 idea of taking power away from Washington and returning into 1707 01:36:15.680 --> 01:36:20.159 the States. And Doctor Suzanne Barchers is the editor in 1708 01:36:20.199 --> 01:36:23.279 chief of and Vice president of the leap Frog. She's 1709 01:36:23.319 --> 01:36:27.359 authored more than fifty books, ranging from college textbooks to short, 1710 01:36:27.399 --> 01:36:30.560 decotable children's books to readers in Theater books. She served 1711 01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:33.920 as a public school teacher. She has an affiliate faculty 1712 01:36:33.960 --> 01:36:37.000 position at the University of Colorado in Denver, etc. And 1713 01:36:37.079 --> 01:36:39.119 Doctor Barchers, you appear to be an expert on this, 1714 01:36:39.239 --> 01:36:41.479 So first of all, let me ask you this, what 1715 01:36:41.680 --> 01:36:44.760 is the current state of American public education? 1716 01:36:47.920 --> 01:36:50.960 Well, princellant me correct the background. I'm no longer at 1717 01:36:51.039 --> 01:36:55.720 leap Frog, and I'm the chair of the Advisory Educational 1718 01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:59.520 Committee for Lingo Kids in Madrid, which is a literacy 1719 01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:03.840 app But to your point, we have a very complex 1720 01:37:03.960 --> 01:37:08.520 situation with the state of reading, and I think there 1721 01:37:08.520 --> 01:37:13.359 are several things that have contributed to that. First, we 1722 01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:18.439 have such a diverse population, and I think there's some 1723 01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:23.039 meriag in returning the funding back to the states, because 1724 01:37:23.119 --> 01:37:27.479 if you compare a state like Wyoming to a states 1725 01:37:27.600 --> 01:37:32.880 such as California, they have different challenges and different needs 1726 01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:33.800 for their children. 1727 01:37:35.479 --> 01:37:38.840 And let's face it, I've always believed that you learn 1728 01:37:38.880 --> 01:37:41.800 to read and then you read to learn, and if 1729 01:37:41.800 --> 01:37:44.960 you don't learn to read by the fourth or fifth grade, 1730 01:37:45.279 --> 01:37:47.880 that's a big problem. Most of may I say my 1731 01:37:48.000 --> 01:37:51.920 generation went to school able to read because parents took 1732 01:37:51.960 --> 01:37:54.840 the time to sit down ahead of time and get 1733 01:37:54.880 --> 01:37:59.239 the kid ready to learn, and so by the eighth grade, 1734 01:37:59.720 --> 01:38:00.319 please it. 1735 01:38:02.439 --> 01:38:05.479 I was going to say, that's very true. The ones 1736 01:38:06.479 --> 01:38:09.239 A little nuance I would put on that is that 1737 01:38:09.600 --> 01:38:13.520 when children are learning to read, they're also reading to 1738 01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:17.600 learn because they're building skills that serve them well throughout 1739 01:38:17.640 --> 01:38:20.560 their lifetime. And depending on the books that they're reading 1740 01:38:21.079 --> 01:38:23.960 and the kind of books that were when we were young, 1741 01:38:25.000 --> 01:38:29.279 we were learning how to look at the illustrations and 1742 01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:33.600 interpret that. And it's very true that parents these days, 1743 01:38:33.920 --> 01:38:38.720 because of financial concerns or their jobs, or maybe they 1744 01:38:38.720 --> 01:38:41.199 are single parents, they may not have that time to 1745 01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:45.359 sit down and read aloud to the children. 1746 01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:48.119 And Knight and I don't know what you. 1747 01:38:48.039 --> 01:38:50.560 Were raised on, but I've been ticking around for a 1748 01:38:50.600 --> 01:38:53.319 long time, so I was raised on that. Dick and 1749 01:38:53.399 --> 01:38:57.800 Jane and what we've found over the years, is that 1750 01:38:57.800 --> 01:39:02.600 the theories keep changing. We go from a strict phonics 1751 01:39:02.640 --> 01:39:08.039 program to a more literature base. And from my teaching 1752 01:39:08.199 --> 01:39:13.600 working with classrooms or media readers, is that one size 1753 01:39:13.640 --> 01:39:17.119 fits few. You need a lot of tricks in your pocket, 1754 01:39:17.239 --> 01:39:21.039 a lot of strategies to help the readers, because one 1755 01:39:21.079 --> 01:39:25.800 may work really well with phonics and another not. And 1756 01:39:26.319 --> 01:39:31.119 our districts are oftome looking for that silver bullet that's 1757 01:39:31.159 --> 01:39:34.119 going to teach all the kids, and that's just unrealistic. 1758 01:39:35.159 --> 01:39:38.479 And more and more students are going to more and 1759 01:39:38.520 --> 01:39:42.399 more public schools fewer and fewer. I can't imagine being 1760 01:39:42.439 --> 01:39:45.319 a school teacher in Milwaukee or Chicago, or Los Angeles 1761 01:39:45.399 --> 01:39:48.000 or Cincinnati. I can't imagine what they go through. According 1762 01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:50.640 to their statistics, and Cincinnati, I'm familiar with it, and 1763 01:39:50.800 --> 01:39:53.520 I think around the country is probably pretty close. About 1764 01:39:53.560 --> 01:39:56.720 forty five percent of public school kids in Cincinnati are 1765 01:39:56.760 --> 01:39:59.439 chronically absent. And if you go to the category of 1766 01:39:59.479 --> 01:40:02.199 black boys that are chronically absent, it's about seventy one 1767 01:40:02.239 --> 01:40:06.159 percent or chronically absent, and so on. 1768 01:40:06.199 --> 01:40:07.920 Whom do you situation? 1769 01:40:08.840 --> 01:40:10.199 Yeah, And. 1770 01:40:11.680 --> 01:40:16.039 I don't think there's any one answer to that question 1771 01:40:16.159 --> 01:40:21.640 as far as blame responsibility. I think teachers in general 1772 01:40:21.680 --> 01:40:26.479 are very dedicated and they're searching for the answers. I 1773 01:40:26.520 --> 01:40:32.000 think the administrations are also very dedicrated and they're looking 1774 01:40:32.039 --> 01:40:36.119 for that. But let's say we have our population in 1775 01:40:36.199 --> 01:40:39.920 Chicago and compare that to a country that has a 1776 01:40:40.239 --> 01:40:44.560 very homogeneous group of children coming through. 1777 01:40:44.479 --> 01:40:46.039 Such as Norway or Sweden. 1778 01:40:46.880 --> 01:40:51.479 We just have such a complex situation here, not only absenteeism, 1779 01:40:51.680 --> 01:40:55.079 but we have children who have not had breakfast before 1780 01:40:55.119 --> 01:40:59.119 they come to school, they not had been enriched cultures. 1781 01:40:59.319 --> 01:41:03.680 A school could have up to fifty or more individual 1782 01:41:04.039 --> 01:41:08.880 native languagees coming in, and that's far tougher than when 1783 01:41:08.920 --> 01:41:12.960 I was teaching, and we didn't have nearly the diverse 1784 01:41:13.119 --> 01:41:16.600 number of languages and the needs to serve so many children. 1785 01:41:17.239 --> 01:41:19.600 And that's what we're in the business for, is to 1786 01:41:19.640 --> 01:41:24.600 serve those kids. So certainly financial resources are important. 1787 01:41:25.920 --> 01:41:30.239 Spending more money doctor Suzanne Barcher's we spend more on 1788 01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:33.680 public education than any advanced country in the world, and 1789 01:41:33.760 --> 01:41:36.600 we have less results. We've identified some of the problems 1790 01:41:37.680 --> 01:41:40.960 the solutions. Because I know the teachers administrators are well intended. 1791 01:41:41.560 --> 01:41:43.640 They get in for the best and the right reasons. 1792 01:41:43.920 --> 01:41:46.600 After about ten years, many teachers simply can't take it 1793 01:41:46.640 --> 01:41:49.800 anymore because of behavior. And I know in Cincinnati there's 1794 01:41:49.800 --> 01:41:52.960 about thirty different languages spoken, and allegedly you have to 1795 01:41:52.960 --> 01:41:55.399 get you have to get a translator for each of 1796 01:41:55.439 --> 01:41:58.600 the dialects of their languages, otherwise it's worthless. I could 1797 01:41:58.600 --> 01:42:00.880 not imagine being in a Japanese classroom when I was 1798 01:42:00.880 --> 01:42:04.279 ten years old and have the teacher only speaking Japanese 1799 01:42:04.319 --> 01:42:07.479 and I could learn anything. And so you have almost 1800 01:42:07.520 --> 01:42:11.880 insurmountable problems, and I'm thinking it's not going to get better. 1801 01:42:11.960 --> 01:42:14.439 We still spend I know Washington, d c. Is about 1802 01:42:14.479 --> 01:42:17.800 forty thousand dollars per student, the city of Cincinnati is 1803 01:42:17.800 --> 01:42:21.359 about twenty city of Chicago is about thirty thousand dollars 1804 01:42:21.439 --> 01:42:25.000 per student, and the results are terrible. And so do 1805 01:42:25.039 --> 01:42:28.479 you have definable solutions that would turn this around? 1806 01:42:31.800 --> 01:42:32.560 I wish I did. 1807 01:42:34.159 --> 01:42:41.159 I do think that. I think more emphasis on those 1808 01:42:41.319 --> 01:42:46.119 first years of a child's life is really important. And 1809 01:42:46.199 --> 01:42:50.600 I think as much as possible, educating the parents to 1810 01:42:50.720 --> 01:42:52.720 do the best they can, and of course they all 1811 01:42:52.800 --> 01:42:59.199 want success for their children, but giving them guidance on 1812 01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:06.000 in learning experiences for children. I think there are advantages 1813 01:43:06.119 --> 01:43:10.520 to having apps that kids can use that are educational 1814 01:43:10.640 --> 01:43:15.119 and support literacy, particularly children who are on the autism spectrum. 1815 01:43:15.640 --> 01:43:19.600 And I think when we guide parents do judicious use 1816 01:43:19.680 --> 01:43:24.319 of screen time, that really helps the children. That's one 1817 01:43:24.600 --> 01:43:28.680 small piece of the puzzle. I do think reading aloud 1818 01:43:28.720 --> 01:43:33.680 to young children is very very important. Having them cook 1819 01:43:33.760 --> 01:43:38.520 with you at home, using all kinds of chores and 1820 01:43:38.640 --> 01:43:44.479 routine experiences to reinforce learning skills so that when they 1821 01:43:44.560 --> 01:43:48.720 come into kindergarten in first grade, they have a bit 1822 01:43:48.800 --> 01:43:52.279 of a leg up on the kinds of expectations that 1823 01:43:52.359 --> 01:43:54.800 are there. And one of the things that's been a 1824 01:43:54.840 --> 01:43:58.439 problem historically is, as I said, we're always looking for 1825 01:43:58.479 --> 01:44:02.640 that silver bullet. Theories of the right reading program or 1826 01:44:02.680 --> 01:44:08.159 the right mass program changed periodically, and so everybody's shifts 1827 01:44:08.199 --> 01:44:11.479 to that new program, and then they find that some 1828 01:44:11.720 --> 01:44:15.000 children are being left behind. So the pendulum swings, and 1829 01:44:15.079 --> 01:44:16.600 you just got to get out of the way of 1830 01:44:16.640 --> 01:44:20.279 the pendulum so you don't get clobbered in the process. 1831 01:44:20.399 --> 01:44:23.680 And doctor Barcher's I believe that a good mom or 1832 01:44:23.680 --> 01:44:25.479 a good dad. I had a good mom, had a 1833 01:44:25.560 --> 01:44:27.680 terrible dad, but that's a different issue. At least one 1834 01:44:27.680 --> 01:44:32.079 good parent is the first teacher, the last teacher, and 1835 01:44:32.119 --> 01:44:34.359 the best teacher you're ever going to have. And so 1836 01:44:34.399 --> 01:44:36.800 when I came up through the ranks in the Catholic 1837 01:44:36.840 --> 01:44:39.920 school system, there were forty kids in a classroom with 1838 01:44:39.960 --> 01:44:43.920 one teacher, and the behavioral norms were followed. Otherwise you 1839 01:44:43.960 --> 01:44:47.399 got whacked and there was education. And if I didn't 1840 01:44:47.479 --> 01:44:50.640 couldn't read by the third grade, something was wrong. And 1841 01:44:50.720 --> 01:44:55.000 now I know presidents like George Bush forty three spent 1842 01:44:55.079 --> 01:44:58.640 billions of dollars on guaranteed reading by the fourth grade. 1843 01:44:59.039 --> 01:45:02.680 That failed. Miserable because so many parents in the public 1844 01:45:02.680 --> 01:45:06.399 schools in rural America are not invested in their child's education. 1845 01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:09.039 They know from the first get go. And I thought, 1846 01:45:09.039 --> 01:45:11.159 at one point, doctor, and you may get your view 1847 01:45:11.199 --> 01:45:13.960 on this, for the public school system to begin in 1848 01:45:14.000 --> 01:45:17.000 the first grade, with the first time a first grader 1849 01:45:17.039 --> 01:45:19.720 comes to class the first time, and have sit downs 1850 01:45:19.760 --> 01:45:23.119 with the parents or guardians involved with the expectations. They're 1851 01:45:23.119 --> 01:45:25.319 going to be high. You're going to bring the kid 1852 01:45:25.359 --> 01:45:28.520 to school with a cereal, You're going to work with 1853 01:45:28.560 --> 01:45:30.319 the kid when the kid comes in the first day 1854 01:45:30.359 --> 01:45:33.039 of school with the homework sit down. I know, Penny 1855 01:45:33.079 --> 01:45:35.680 and I sat down with our son regularly from Saint 1856 01:45:35.680 --> 01:45:38.960 Gertrude to Madeira High School, and we made sure he 1857 01:45:39.000 --> 01:45:40.720 did his homework and we helped him a little bit, 1858 01:45:40.800 --> 01:45:44.000 but essentially he had to learn. And so so many 1859 01:45:44.079 --> 01:45:48.119 children today are in completely dysfunctional families and the mother 1860 01:45:48.279 --> 01:45:51.560 or the father or the guardian doesn't do that sit 1861 01:45:51.640 --> 01:45:54.760 down every day, but almost to say, okay, we're going 1862 01:45:54.840 --> 01:45:57.039 to begin with the first grade, the first day of class. 1863 01:45:57.239 --> 01:46:00.000 These are the expectations as a parent, because the parents 1864 01:46:00.399 --> 01:46:02.600 is the first, the last, and the best teacher the 1865 01:46:02.680 --> 01:46:04.880 kid would ever have. Does that make any sense? 1866 01:46:06.960 --> 01:46:12.000 Absolutely, And for most children who do thrive, it's because 1867 01:46:12.119 --> 01:46:16.920 someone valued education and took the time. I homeschooled two 1868 01:46:17.000 --> 01:46:21.119 of my grandchildren during COVID, so I went from being 1869 01:46:21.199 --> 01:46:26.399 a retired educator who could do a little consulting and 1870 01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:30.159 do lots of traveling to someone who was housebound like 1871 01:46:30.239 --> 01:46:33.920 the rest of us. And it was a humbling experience 1872 01:46:34.039 --> 01:46:38.880 for me to be teaching again, and yet such an 1873 01:46:39.039 --> 01:46:43.239 enriching experience because it really gave me a chance to 1874 01:46:43.399 --> 01:46:47.800 delve in almost like a little one run schoolhouse where 1875 01:46:48.000 --> 01:46:51.680 I just had two children, but they were five years 1876 01:46:51.720 --> 01:46:57.000 apart in age, and I had to really think about 1877 01:46:57.000 --> 01:47:00.720 how to meet their needs. So if you have that 1878 01:47:00.800 --> 01:47:07.439 one parent or grandparent or older sibling or anybody, if 1879 01:47:07.479 --> 01:47:13.239 the public could step in too and realize that they 1880 01:47:13.239 --> 01:47:16.840 could be an advocate for a child who needs help, 1881 01:47:17.560 --> 01:47:20.439 that would be a big step. And we have that 1882 01:47:20.520 --> 01:47:24.479 with the Big Brother Big Sister program, which is not 1883 01:47:24.920 --> 01:47:30.439 educationally oriented. It's you know, in full but if we 1884 01:47:30.640 --> 01:47:35.880 had more volunteer opportunities for that one on one experience. 1885 01:47:36.039 --> 01:47:41.479 So we're not remdiating that's important too, but we're advocating 1886 01:47:41.600 --> 01:47:45.239 from the very early age that the learning is important 1887 01:47:45.239 --> 01:47:48.119 and it's worthwhile. It would make a huge difference. 1888 01:47:49.079 --> 01:47:49.239 You know. 1889 01:47:49.279 --> 01:47:51.640 I imagine being in an environment like in Chicago or 1890 01:47:51.680 --> 01:47:54.840 Los Angeles, who you have a completely dysfunctional family. The 1891 01:47:54.920 --> 01:47:57.479 mother or father doesn't require you to go to school. 1892 01:47:57.840 --> 01:48:01.720 You're chronically absent, you're running in the streets. Two thirds 1893 01:48:01.720 --> 01:48:04.399 of these kids as eighth graders, two thirds, about seventy 1894 01:48:04.439 --> 01:48:07.720 percent cannot read at the appropriate level. They have no 1895 01:48:07.840 --> 01:48:10.800 chance of getting on to college or trade school until 1896 01:48:10.840 --> 01:48:13.520 some I don't know, some bell goes off in their 1897 01:48:13.560 --> 01:48:17.279 brain and I'm thinking spending more money on that kid 1898 01:48:17.640 --> 01:48:19.720 is not going to have a measurable impact. If you 1899 01:48:19.720 --> 01:48:23.119 can reach a few kids one to one, mono imano 1900 01:48:23.279 --> 01:48:25.800 is the way to get it done. But I think 1901 01:48:25.840 --> 01:48:28.439 failing is an important thing too. In public schools today, 1902 01:48:28.439 --> 01:48:31.399 you can't fail. You cannot show up, not take the test, 1903 01:48:31.880 --> 01:48:34.039 have fs across the board, and I don't think they 1904 01:48:34.039 --> 01:48:36.479 even use that grading system anymore, and they promote you 1905 01:48:36.520 --> 01:48:39.000 to the next grade. I had many teachers tell me 1906 01:48:39.039 --> 01:48:40.800 that I have a fourteen year old who's come in 1907 01:48:40.800 --> 01:48:44.479 from Guatemala and he has no language skills, has no 1908 01:48:44.640 --> 01:48:48.119 educational foundation. What grade do we put him in when 1909 01:48:48.119 --> 01:48:51.479 he doesn't speak English? It's like, well, what do you 1910 01:48:51.560 --> 01:48:54.399 do in that situation? Doctor Barcher's What does any urban 1911 01:48:54.399 --> 01:48:57.439 school district do when they have hundreds or thousands of 1912 01:48:57.520 --> 01:49:01.119 students who show up to be educated, not learning the language, 1913 01:49:01.279 --> 01:49:03.800 and they have no educational foundation. What do you do 1914 01:49:03.840 --> 01:49:04.199 about that? 1915 01:49:06.880 --> 01:49:09.079 Well, I would go back to what I was just 1916 01:49:09.239 --> 01:49:14.239 discussing in seeing if you can't somehow enlist the public 1917 01:49:14.359 --> 01:49:19.520 support people as they age. All the boomers are getting 1918 01:49:19.560 --> 01:49:21.720 up there, they're not going to want to increase their 1919 01:49:21.800 --> 01:49:28.319 tax Dell but I do think if someone asked, I'm 1920 01:49:28.319 --> 01:49:31.960 a perfect example of that. If Denver Public Schools said 1921 01:49:32.439 --> 01:49:35.520 we need some people who will devote two or three 1922 01:49:35.600 --> 01:49:39.640 hours a week or one hour Monday, Wednesday Friday to help, 1923 01:49:39.680 --> 01:49:42.199 I add an individual at a local school. I need 1924 01:49:42.199 --> 01:49:44.239 the first to sign up. But you know, we have 1925 01:49:44.359 --> 01:49:47.239 to be asked. There's lots of us out there who 1926 01:49:47.279 --> 01:49:51.840 want to help, and I think that might be a 1927 01:49:51.920 --> 01:49:54.720 tip I would pass on to the public at large, 1928 01:49:54.800 --> 01:49:58.279 is asked, ask for that help, for that volunteer help. 1929 01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:03.520 Doctor Susanne Barcher's, we have identified many problems, not many 1930 01:50:03.520 --> 01:50:08.239 solutions other than individuals one on one getting involved one 1931 01:50:08.279 --> 01:50:12.119 on one first grade beginning at that teachers, student and 1932 01:50:12.159 --> 01:50:14.960 the parents got to be on the same page. Number two, 1933 01:50:14.960 --> 01:50:17.720 you got it can't be chronically absent. You can't fail 1934 01:50:17.760 --> 01:50:19.840 to go to school and then learn. And number three, 1935 01:50:19.920 --> 01:50:24.119 it's got to be consequences and returning money to the States. Well, 1936 01:50:24.119 --> 01:50:26.399 it makes a lot of sense to me. But thanks 1937 01:50:26.399 --> 01:50:29.319 for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show and doctor Suzanne Barcher's. 1938 01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:32.039 Good luck and I love your ideas, so we'll see 1939 01:50:32.039 --> 01:50:33.840 if we can implement some of them. And thank you 1940 01:50:33.960 --> 01:50:34.279 very much. 1941 01:50:34.319 --> 01:50:38.079 Doctor, Thank you, thank you, great conversation. 1942 01:50:38.920 --> 01:50:41.640 God bless you. Let's continue with more Bill to Cunningham. 1943 01:50:41.680 --> 01:50:43.920 First of all, thank you very much for listening tonight. 1944 01:50:44.279 --> 01:50:46.520 In many parts of our great nation, it is a 1945 01:50:46.600 --> 01:50:50.640 literal refrigerator. What's happening weatherwise has been awful. How someone 1946 01:50:50.680 --> 01:50:54.279 can continue to maintain that there's man made global warming 1947 01:50:54.399 --> 01:50:57.840 causing climate change? The climate change is cold. And if 1948 01:50:57.840 --> 01:50:59.880 you had my if you were worth about an hour 1949 01:51:00.000 --> 01:51:01.880 a half ago, I had a guest on, Steve Malloy 1950 01:51:01.920 --> 01:51:05.359 of junks science dot com laid out repeatedly all the mistakes, 1951 01:51:05.600 --> 01:51:08.479 all the mistakes that the predictors have made the past 1952 01:51:08.520 --> 01:51:11.199 fifteen to thirty years about what's going to happen, including 1953 01:51:11.479 --> 01:51:14.520 thirty years ago the climatologists told you and I that 1954 01:51:14.760 --> 01:51:17.920 children in twenty twenty five would not see snow. That 1955 01:51:17.960 --> 01:51:21.199 wouldn't exist anymore. Global warming warning would be so bad 1956 01:51:21.279 --> 01:51:23.640 that snow would not exist. Many of us wish that 1957 01:51:23.760 --> 01:51:28.520 was the case tonight. But also it was so great 1958 01:51:29.359 --> 01:51:31.520 to watch Jade Vance a few days ago in the 1959 01:51:31.600 --> 01:51:35.079 Munich Security Conference lay out the difficulties, shall we say, 1960 01:51:35.119 --> 01:51:37.880 in Europe as we speak, which are very similar to 1961 01:51:37.960 --> 01:51:41.760 exactly the same difficulties we have here in America today. 1962 01:51:42.079 --> 01:51:44.520 And it's sick and it's sad what's going on, and 1963 01:51:44.560 --> 01:51:49.119 it's not good. In fact, it's bad. In America, we 1964 01:51:49.279 --> 01:51:52.199 have thought police, we had them until Trump got elected. 1965 01:51:52.560 --> 01:51:57.560 In America, we were following racial discrimination called DEI. In America, 1966 01:51:57.880 --> 01:52:00.640 there were grandmothers arrested outside of a border and clinics 1967 01:52:00.680 --> 01:52:04.439 put in prison. And in America we had unbridled immigration 1968 01:52:04.880 --> 01:52:08.119 which is wrecking the body politic all across this great 1969 01:52:08.159 --> 01:52:11.239 country of ours, which is exactly what's going on, shall 1970 01:52:11.279 --> 01:52:14.000 we say, exactly what's going on in Europe. And that's 1971 01:52:14.039 --> 01:52:17.600 what Jada Evans called him out on. Because Germany has 1972 01:52:17.680 --> 01:52:20.439 speech coach. You may have seen sixty minutes tonight. There 1973 01:52:20.439 --> 01:52:23.680 were two segments. The first segment, of course, attacked Donald Trump, 1974 01:52:24.359 --> 01:52:27.439 and the second segment dealt with speech codes in Germany 1975 01:52:28.000 --> 01:52:30.520 because they don't have the freedom of speech. In Germany, 1976 01:52:30.520 --> 01:52:33.079 there's no First Amendment. The police can knock on your 1977 01:52:33.079 --> 01:52:35.039 door at six o'clock in the morning. And if you 1978 01:52:35.119 --> 01:52:38.680 went online calling somebody fat and lazy, or went online 1979 01:52:38.680 --> 01:52:42.119 and republished some cartoon, or went online and criticize some 1980 01:52:42.199 --> 01:52:45.640 person because of their nationality. You could be arrested and 1981 01:52:45.720 --> 01:52:48.720 thrown in jail or find up to ten thousand dollars 1982 01:52:48.760 --> 01:52:52.000 ten thousand Deutsche marks. And that's not the way things 1983 01:52:52.039 --> 01:52:55.439 ought to be in this country. But America on November 1984 01:52:55.439 --> 01:52:57.439 the fifth, one for a different and a better path, 1985 01:52:57.520 --> 01:52:59.960 we said, no, we're not going to go down Affirmative Act. 1986 01:53:00.359 --> 01:53:03.039 We're not going to go down reparations. We're not going 1987 01:53:03.079 --> 01:53:06.800 to go down DEI. We believe in the meritocracy. The 1988 01:53:06.920 --> 01:53:09.720 NBA All Star Game took place, and all the organizations 1989 01:53:09.760 --> 01:53:12.479 and the NBA believe in DEI except when it comes 1990 01:53:12.479 --> 01:53:14.800 to the court. There they believe in merit and I 1991 01:53:14.840 --> 01:53:18.720 support that one thousand percent. So also, I want to 1992 01:53:18.720 --> 01:53:21.239 thank Steve molloy if Junk science dot com for coming 1993 01:53:21.279 --> 01:53:26.159 on to talk about all the lies, misconceptions and distortions 1994 01:53:26.760 --> 01:53:29.000 caused by the Green New Deal and the fact the 1995 01:53:29.039 --> 01:53:31.640 Green New Deal has cost us literally trillions of dollars. 1996 01:53:31.680 --> 01:53:33.319 Before you go to bed to night, it's getting late, 1997 01:53:33.359 --> 01:53:35.920 I know, but I'd ask you to say a silent 1998 01:53:35.960 --> 01:53:38.680 prayer for Donald Trump and for Elon Musk that they 1999 01:53:38.720 --> 01:53:40.760 can be successful in what they're doing to change this 2000 01:53:40.840 --> 01:53:43.039 country for the better and God knows that it needs 2001 01:53:43.079 --> 01:53:45.159 to be changed for the better in this great country. 2002 01:53:45.319 --> 01:53:47.840 Thanks for listening, and once again, may you and yours 2003 01:53:47.880 --> 01:53:50.640 have a great week.
