WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:09.640 Billy Cunningham, the Great America, and welcome this Monday afternoon 2 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.480 in the tri State and more or Sundays to wide 3 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.919 out with the birds are in down the Eagles and 4 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.640 of course the Bengals beat up on a depleted Browns 5 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.800 team to Shaun Watson out for the year. Of course 6 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.679 he's been out the last two or three years. Anyway, 7 00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.039 so many issues, so little time. And joining you and 8 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.640 I now to kick off the show this Monday afternoon 9 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.280 is Bernie Marino, the Republican candidate for the Senate seat. 10 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.439 And Bernie Marino, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. 11 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.320 And Bernie, first of all, the ads are vicious, The 12 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.399 ads are cruel, many untrue. When it comes to these 13 00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.960 ads against you that say you don't care about you 14 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.359 don't care about working class steffs, you stiff your own employees, 15 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.560 you don't pay them the money you gave me the 16 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.960 explanation about three or four weeks ago as to why 17 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.600 those ads are false? Can you tell the American people 18 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.240 again why the ads that shaff Brown is running having 19 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.119 been an office beginning in the Nickson administration grasping for straws. 20 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.599 What is false about the ad about not caring about 21 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:06.680 your workers, et cetera. 22 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:09.480 Well, first of all, thank you for having me on 23 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.760 the show, and thank you for the question. The reality 24 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.760 is I've built my company by taking exceptional care of 25 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.280 the people who were there. In fact, we didn't even 26 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.159 call them employees, we call them team members. 27 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:21.200 We did a great job. 28 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.760 In fact, we were awarded best places to Work in 29 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.359 Northeast Ohio, and in all the dealerships that we had, 30 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.879 we were rated at the top in the country for 31 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.560 taking care of our people. What the ads referring to 32 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.719 is a case in Massachusetts in which a commissioned salesperson 33 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.760 working for a furniture store claimed that he should be 34 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:40.799 entitled to overtime. 35 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:41.799 Had nothing to do with me. 36 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.000 The judge said no, the Court of Appeal said no, 37 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.719 and then the Massachusetts Supreme Court said yes, which would 38 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.159 have been fine Billy, because of course we follow the law. 39 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.200 But they made the ruling retroactive. It brought every commission 40 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.920 business into the deal. It's obviously total and completely misleading 41 00:01:58.920 --> 00:01:59.840 because it looks like it's. 42 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.120 A case against me, it was not. So. 43 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:03.599 Look, at the end of the day, this is the 44 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.040 only thing Sheeron Brown could talk about because he can't 45 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.319 talk about the open borders. He can't talk about the 46 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.639 high prices, high interest rates, instability all over the world, 47 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:17.360 endless wars, terrible communities that are suffering like Cincinnati, and 48 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.680 then schools that are a mess. He has a terrible, 49 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.039 terrible record, so he has to change the subject. 50 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.520 So when you're in the car business, I have many 51 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.360 friends in the car business, most of the sales personnel 52 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:32.240 work on a commission. And the Massachusetts Supreme Court decided, 53 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.360 years after lawsuits were filed, you had to go back 54 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.840 in time and pay your employees for overtime. That everyone 55 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.879 assumed in the car business that you work on commissions. 56 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:42.400 And that's the essence of that case. 57 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:44.199 Yeah, exactly. 58 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.280 They're actually considered by federal law even today exempt employees 59 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.240 from overtime except in Massachusetts, which. 60 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.319 By the way, is why we have to vote. 61 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.960 For Megan Shanahan, Dan Hawkins, and Joe Deeters for the 62 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.840 Ohio Supreme Court, so we don't have crazy judges making 63 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.120 these types of rulings. You imagine a ruling that's made retroactively. 64 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.080 You know, you're driving down seventy one and you get 65 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.240 a ticket and you say, well, what do you mean 66 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.439 I was going sixty five. Well, we changed the speed 67 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.000 limit to fifty five. After you drove and for the 68 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.400 last three years you've been speeding. Here's a bunch of tickets. 69 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.719 And they are good now. The Plain Dealer, which is 70 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.280 not my favorite publication, are they still in business? By 71 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.120 the way, the Plaine. 72 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:27.719 Dealer, they're hanging on by a thread, but they obviously 73 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.960 have trumped arrangement syndrome, Jdvan's arrangement syndrome and now Bernie 74 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.400 Marino drangement syndrome. The editor of this joker, called Chris Quinn, 75 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.039 is probably one of the most corrupt so called journalists 76 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:40.639 in Ohio. 77 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.080 But I love reminding him that. 78 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.840 For years they rated me best places to work in 79 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.879 Northeast Ohio. I think he's trying to get back every 80 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:49.159 one of those copies of that paper. 81 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.400 Well, the key is, after the Cleveland Plane Dealer reviewed 82 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.919 I guess thousands of employers in the Cleveland area, they 83 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.400 picked Chews the best place to work in until you 84 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.719 decided to get into politics, and all of a sudden, 85 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.120 you're terrible. Let's go on to abortion. Abortion to a 86 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.400 liberal as a sacrament, It's unbelievable. Ohioan's voted fifty seven 87 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.960 percent a year or two ago to have abortion on 88 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.960 demand from the moment of conception all the way through birth, 89 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.360 which I think was ridiculous. Nonetheless, Ohioan's voted fifty seven percent. 90 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.519 One of the other adds against you is that you're 91 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.920 out of step with Ohioans when it comes to abortion. 92 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.959 The right to life a society began in Cincinnati with 93 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.160 doctor and missus Wilkie. Are you willing, despite your personal 94 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.439 predilections and your personal beliefs, to enforce Ohio and federal 95 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.360 law even if you disagree with it. 96 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.399 Yeah, Billy, there is no votes on a federal level 97 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.800 one way or the other on abortion. So what I'm 98 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.959 going to be focused on is the things that we 99 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.560 can bring the country together on. 100 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:48.439 We can make. 101 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.079 Adoption less expensive. I have a friend of mine that's 102 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.600 trying to adopt right now as I'm speaking to you, 103 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.920 like Lily's been working on that. It's going to cost 104 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.959 him about seventy thousand dollars. Let's try the cost of 105 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.759 that down, lower the costs of having children. Let's make 106 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.600 certain that pregnancy centers are well funded, that they which 107 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.480 provide great services to moms before, during, and after birth, 108 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.319 that we make certain that women have equal access to contraception, 109 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.480 that we empower young women. Those are the things that 110 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.759 we can all agree on, bring consensus around this issue. 111 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.600 It's mostly a state's issue. Ohio made a decision and 112 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.519 I will respect that decision. My opponent, on the other hand, Billy, 113 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.399 thinks that we should have federal funding for abortions. He's 114 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.439 four partial birth abortions. He voted against the Infant Born 115 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.120 a Live Protection Act, which says, in a botch late 116 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.480 term abortion, the doctor is not allowed to give that 117 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.199 baby life saving care. And he wants to have a 118 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.079 national rule to tell every single state what he believed. 119 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.800 That's not the way to have good public policy. Let's 120 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.800 bring the country together on this topic, focus on the 121 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.959 things that we could agree on, and aspirationally, at some point, 122 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.199 let's see if we can get rid of elective late 123 00:05:59.279 --> 00:05:59.879 term abortion. 124 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.399 It's something that we should be striving to do. 125 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.680 But look, at the end of the day, he's an 126 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.399 extremist on this issue. I'm more in line with the 127 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.240 values of Ohio and Ohio voters know that, which is 128 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:11.360 why we're going to win this selection. 129 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.000 And on those two issues, you can't run a thirty 130 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:19.000 second ad explaining the Massachusetts Supreme Court decision on retroactive 131 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.079 overtime and it's hard to give that opinion and a 132 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.800 thirty second ad. The smear works better for those misinformed 133 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.680 on the issue of borders. There's a story of the 134 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.319 New York Post over the weekend New York Post about 135 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.879 a little community in Hamlet County named Lochland, Ohio. And 136 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.680 Lachland is right by Wyoming, Ohio, the home of the Cowboys, 137 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.519 and it's a community of thirty five hundred people. Thirty 138 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.879 five hundred people, and their story after story about Mauritanians. 139 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.759 I'm not sure where Mauritania is and I have to 140 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.160 look it up, but the Biden administration has put about 141 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:59.800 twenty five hundred Mauritanians inside Lochlan, Ohio, which is overrun, 142 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.160 this school system, overrun the hospital, overrun the apartments, the 143 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.600 skyrocketing cost, and they're under a parole program that expires 144 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.800 in twenty twenty six. Who knows what's going to happen 145 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.680 if you seize the Senate seat from someone that's been 146 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.160 in politics now for more than a half a century 147 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.800 named Shared Brown. What can you do on the southern 148 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.240 border to bring sanity to our policies. You're an immigrant, 149 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.639 did it legally? We need immigration in this country, but 150 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.240 we don't need twenty thousand Haitians in Clark County or 151 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.959 thirty five hundred Moreitanians in Lochland, Ohio. What can you 152 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.120 do in the scent to stop the madness? 153 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:38.680 Well, the first thing we're going to do is make 154 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.920 certain that temporary protective status is actually temporary, so we're 155 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.399 not going to renew it. And if you're here under 156 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.079 fake parole, you have to leave or you'll be deported. 157 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:49.879 We're going to make certain that anybody in. 158 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.439 This country that's here illegally is deported because at the 159 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.199 end of the day, this is our home, Billy, and 160 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.720 we're not going to allow people to be in our 161 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.040 home that weren't invited to be here. So now that's 162 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:02.600 a contrast. It wants to make them all citizens. We 163 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.160 have a social safety net in this country that is 164 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.240 for American citizens. My opponent wants to get that to 165 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.800 foreign nationals. You know, Billy, they're flying people in from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, 166 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:13.480 and Venezuela. 167 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:14.639 I'm private jets. 168 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.680 They're flying them here and putting them on welfare food stamps, 169 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:23.279 free housing, free healthcare, about half a million this year alone. 170 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.120 This is insanity. We're going to have an immigration system 171 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.920 that works for the United States of America on our 172 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.840 terms and have a zero tolerance for illegal immigration. We're 173 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.960 also going to work with Mexico to make sure we 174 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.120 wipe the drug carotails off the face of the earth. 175 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.039 And China's going to understand it. They bring one drop 176 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.279 of base chemicals to produce Sentinel, they will see tariffs 177 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.679 that will make their head spind The reality is Kamala 178 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.399 Harris and Joe Biden was shared Brown's full support. They 179 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.240 don't think it's a problem to have tens of millions 180 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.399 of people in this country illegally. They don't think it's 181 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.480 a problem that have them dump on our social safety 182 00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.159 net and destroy our communities. 183 00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:57.639 I do. 184 00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:59.480 That's the contrast in this election. 185 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.799 A businessman and tariffs, you know, can be a good thing, 186 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.279 selective tariffs. I saw a presentation this morning with Joe 187 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.919 Kernan on CNBC in which it's impossible to sell Chevrolets 188 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.960 or Cadillacts or Toyota's made in Indiana anywhere in China. 189 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.759 The walls against American products going into China are high, long, 190 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.759 and deep. We can't do it. However, we allow Chinese 191 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:29.360 products into America constantly, which is destroying middle class jobs. 192 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.039 What can we do with tariffs to make sure that 193 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:36.120 the autoworkers in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan have a 194 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.399 fair shot. If we can't sell our products in China, 195 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.519 why do we let them sell their products here? 196 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:45.720 Because we have a career politicians that have no idea 197 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.679 how to even negotiate, how to structure good deals. You know, 198 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.480 we hired President Trump to be the president United States 199 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.960 and he made some great trade deals renegotiated. N have 200 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.639 to look, this is very simple, and if it's good 201 00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:59.399 for them, it's good for us. We're gonna have fair 202 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.320 trade with the American worker on a level playing field 203 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.720 that American worker will win every single time. When it 204 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.000 comes to autos specifically, is you know, that's something I'm 205 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.559 very familiar with. It was in the Retai automotive business 206 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:12.919 for most of my adult life. 207 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:13.720 Here's what we're gonna do. 208 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.879 We're gonna stop incentivizing people to buy electric cars. We're 209 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.320 gonna stop mandating the purchase of electric vehicles. We're going 210 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.159 to freeze the corporate average shul economy standards for a decade. 211 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.519 We're going to prevent California from creating their own standards. 212 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.039 And what that's going to do is let the marketplace 213 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.639 develop naturally over the next ten or twenty years and 214 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:38.240 have technology evolve as consumers decide they want it. We're 215 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.840 not going to force somebody to buy a car they 216 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.000 don't want because that's just stupid. 217 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.600 Right now, in the cafe, standards I think are like 218 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.440 fifty nine miles a gallon. So the only way the 219 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.200 automakers can get to fifty nine miles a gallon across 220 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.519 all of their menu of items is to have complete EVS. 221 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.240 One of the best things that should happen is hybrids, 222 00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.799 in which the electricity is produced by the turning of 223 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.000 the tires. That's the electricity off the grid. There are 224 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.600 many many products like Toyota Joseph Toyota that can sell 225 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.799 products that have something like thirty five to forty miles 226 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.000 a gallon because they're hybrids. Does it make more sense 227 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.759 to go to the hybrid route and let consumers choose 228 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:19.360 rather than forcing them to buy evs, which many times 229 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.559 in cold weather and hot weather lithium batteries are exploding. 230 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:23.919 When you have to get out of dodge, like with 231 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.480 a hurricane in Florida, you can't get out because you 232 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.759 have an EV doesn't Don't hybrids make a lot more sense? 233 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:31.240 Yeah? 234 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.399 Absolutely, But again from the government's perspective, we're just not 235 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.399 going to weigh in. The government's just going to stay 236 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.600 the heck out of that conversation. Now, personally, of course, 237 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.120 hybrid's makes more sense in a fully electric vehicle. Look, 238 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.759 nobody knows that better than Toyota. Toyota has been the 239 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:49.799 leader in being the one sane company that's calling out 240 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:50.919 these EV mandates. 241 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:53.200 You know, Ford and General Motors and some of. 242 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:57.799 The others have gone down the government mandate road because 243 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.320 they're cowards. They're afraid to speak out against the nonsense. 244 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.840 I applaud Toyota for having the strength of courage to 245 00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:08.440 actually call out the nonsense. But again, at the end 246 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.679 of the day, my job as a United States Senator 247 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.200 is to follow the Constitution, do the things that the 248 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:17.120 Constitution outline me to do. And nowhere in the Constitution, Billy, 249 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.960 does it tell me to tell you what kind of cardibuy. 250 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.919 Lastly, what about foreign relations? I don't know why Israel's 251 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.080 not responded to the head of the snake yet, which 252 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.759 is in Iran. They have degraded Hezbollah in the north, 253 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.000 Hamas in the South, and the Hoodies in South Yemen, 254 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.679 and right now they're hesitating because the Biden administration is 255 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.080 threatening Israel with retaliation of one type or another. It's 256 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.840 kind of odd that American taxpayers fund Iran directly and indirectly. 257 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.600 We also now find ourselves funding Israel, which makes a 258 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:51.200 lot of sense. Bernie Marino, what policy would you have 259 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.600 about foreign relations, especially with Israel. 260 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.679 Well, we're going to stand by Israel on and equivocally. 261 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.320 We're also going to let them fight the war the 262 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.799 way they decide they need to fight it. We're gonna 263 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.360 stop micromanaging their affairs. We're going to make certain that 264 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.559 we stop sending money to Hesbolah through Lebanon, sending money 265 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.720 to Gaza which feeds Hamas, stops sending money to Syria 266 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.240 and cutter and Yemen in Egypt, and by the way, 267 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.559 continuing to make i Ran wealthier and wealthier and wealthier. 268 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.080 President Trump had a Ran on its knees, and we're 269 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.879 going to reput in those policies that will do that. 270 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.159 Our job is to make sure we have Israel's back. 271 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.759 Israel's job is to take care of business there the 272 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:35.639 way they deem necessary. And for seventy years we've been 273 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:38.360 telling them how to run their wars. Look, Kamala Harris 274 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.919 called for a ceasefire along with Sharon Brown on October 275 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.360 seventh of last year. Had they actually done that, Hezbolah 276 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.279 would would would not have been wiped out the way 277 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.799 it has been. Hamas would not have been wiped out. 278 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:52.159 Sinhar would still be alive. You know, these people are 279 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.159 so wrong on foreign policy that it reminds me what 280 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.559 Defense Secretary Gates said, which is nobody has ever been 281 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.440 more idiotic foreign policy than Joe Biden. And that's even 282 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.519 worse for Kamala Harrison, Share Brown. 283 00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:07.960 Bernie Marino. Last issue for me is school vouchers. Ohio 284 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.879 has a school voucher program that if your kids in 285 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:14.120 a failing public school, the state of Ohio gives you 286 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.080 a voucher to take them money on your kids education, 287 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.519 which can be between six and ten thousand dollars per year, 288 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.480 and go to a Catholic school, go to a charter school, 289 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.759 go to another public school and shared Brown is against that. 290 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.279 He's in the pocket of the teachers' union. Sy out 291 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:34.200 there with Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, same kind of person, 292 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.639 Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, they all run in the same pack. 293 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.279 What's your view about school vouchers and should it be 294 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.600 extended nationwide over the objection of the teachers' unions. 295 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:47.200 Well, first of all, the Teachers' Union is a money 296 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.320 laundering operation for the Democrat Party. Virtually one hundred percent 297 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.519 of their contributions go to Democrat candidates. They do not 298 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:58.000 advocate for teachers, They advocate for Democrat politicians that feed them. 299 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.799 The head of the union makes six hundred thousand dollars 300 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:02.799 a year. It's totally insane. 301 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.039 Well, we're going to do. What we need to do 302 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.159 is get rid of. 303 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.840 The unconstitutional Department of Education, move all that money to 304 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.440 states and local communities. Get the parents empowered in their 305 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:17.919 own communities to teach the kids maths, science, reading, critical 306 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.720 skills that they need, not indoctrinate them. Look, this is 307 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:25.960 the imperative of our time, Billy, because we have to 308 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.840 be better in education, and the federal government has over 309 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:34.639 for the last forty years ruined K through twelve education 310 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:38.120 in this country, and of course higher education needs massive 311 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.200 reform as well, So we have to fix our educational system. 312 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.799 We will fix it by getting the federal government out 313 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.600 of it. Let states and local communities do much more 314 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:47.600 work in that area. 315 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.639 Lastly, how about thirty seconds remaining? Bernie Marino, I was 316 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.039 told a couple months ago you were down on the polls. 317 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.360 I was told about eight months ago, your way down 318 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.360 in the polls. The indications are now you're up one 319 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.720 to two three percentage points. That Shared Brown has topped 320 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.120 out at forty six percent, which means he can't win. 321 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:09.120 Are you confident that Ohio can take the course that 322 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.200 it's done politically with almost all the other Republican office 323 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.919 holders in the state of Ohio? Are you confident now 324 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.720 you can actually beat Shared Brown, who's a legend in politics. Hell, 325 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.720 he beat Mike DeWine for the Senate. Now we're going 326 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.120 back to like twenty oh six. But Bernie Shared Brown 327 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.639 has beaten all the heavyweights politically. Why do you think 328 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:30.320 you can beat shared Brown this time? 329 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:32.679 Well, the times up for him. 330 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.679 I think he's finally been exposed by our campaign as 331 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:39.200 a radical leftist that doesn't represent Ohio values. Look, I'm 332 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:40.879 as confident as we can be, but this is going 333 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.240 to be a hard stretch over the next fifteen days. 334 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:47.399 And everybody listening to stop going wherever you're going and 335 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.799 go drive to your Board of Elections right now and 336 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:53.039 vote eleven times. You go vote, and then find ten 337 00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:55.519 people to bring with you over the next two weeks 338 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.360 to vote. That's how we win. Bank that vote, get 339 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.279 it done, get your vote account. If you don't think 340 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:04.160 your vote matters, you're wrong. It does. And not voting 341 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.680 as a vote for Kamala Harrison Sherion Brown. This election 342 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:09.720 needs to be a landslide. We just send these communists 343 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.559 and socialists and reject them resoundingly. The world needs to 344 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:15.960 see that America stands for freedom and liberty. 345 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.599 Bernie Marino, don't curse the darkness light of candle, and 346 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.319 once again, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 347 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.359 Maybe we'll do it what day before the election or so, 348 00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:26.839 but the good luck the next fifteen days in America 349 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.240 needs a new course and you can be the pilot 350 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.319 on that ship. And Bernie Marino, once again, thank you 351 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.640 for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you Bernie, 352 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.839 Thank you God, bless America.

What direction we take is up 359 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.640 to you. Maybe not in Ohio, Kentucky 'or Indiana because 360 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.359 it is solidly going to vote Republican, or for those 361 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.599 listening around the country, it's critical, it's important. It's going 362 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:10.759 to happen. The rest of tonight show at one o'clock 363 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.640 will I'm Curtis Howck. He's with a group that monitors 364 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.839 the media coverage of all the events. He's with Media 365 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.920 Research Center dot org called NewsBusters dot organ. None of 366 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:27.400 us have the time to watch simultaneously ABC, NBCCBS and BBS, 367 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.599 and to read the New York Times, the Washington Post, 368 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.000 to watch the various podcaster blogs. We don't have the 369 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.799 time to do it all. So this website puts together 370 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:38.640 the left wing media bias which all of us knows 371 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.039 exist because they want to elect Democrats whenever they can, 372 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.039 and not elect Republicans. So Curtis Hawke will be here 373 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.640 in about thirty minutes to talk about that, and after 374 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:52.519 two o'clock will be the great Brendan Call, cull Brendan Call. 375 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.279 He was the David Axelrod to Charlie Luken for many, 376 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.960 many years in City Hall. Now has the mbiable job 377 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.559 of putting together the taste of Cincinnati Octoberfest, helping three 378 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:09.599 see DC and now Blink. Yours truly attended Blink on 379 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:13.720 Saturday night. I couldn't believe what I saw. I was flabbergasted. 380 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.000 Good friend of mine, Sean Donovan, has a place in 381 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:20.480 and around Court Street, downtown Cincinnati, over by City Hall, 382 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.319 the People's Judge, and I and Wally and Robin and 383 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:25.920 some others. I let's go to Blink. We've heard about 384 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.799 it when we go see it. I was shocked by 385 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:32.799 what I saw. I've never seen that many people forget 386 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.279 about the World Series celebration of the Reds in nineteen ninety. 387 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.839 We tried to walk from Court Street went to Itchy Bin, 388 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.640 which is in the location of the Washington Platform. Right there, 389 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:46.200 did a great job on a Japanese takehouse. Took about 390 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.200 forty five minutes. Then decided to walk up to Washington Park, 391 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.640 which is about a three block walk to be in 392 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:57.720 front the apron of Music Hall, and the crowds were enormous. 393 00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.880 And this is like at seven seven ten, the sun 394 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.640 is more or less gone down. Took us about ten 395 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.000 or fifteen minutes to walk three blocks because the sidewalks 396 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.559 were packed, and it was hard to walk on Ray 397 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.799 Street and walk into Central Parkway because of the traffic. 398 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.200 Basically the traffic was complete gridlock, so it takes a 399 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.319 little bit longer. We get there. Washington Park was packed, 400 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:25.400 and I'm standing maybe in the middle of Washington Park, 401 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.480
