Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, the Great American, as the recovery continues on
Speaker 1: this Wednesday Afternoon, Red's Baseball.
Speaker 2: The Reds looking pregnable. They can't lose right now.
Speaker 1: The Giants when they went to San Francisco, the Giants
Speaker 1: said the best record in baseball. The Reds are taking
Speaker 1: him down almost every night. Today is going to be
Speaker 1: this afternoon. Pregame coverage starts about two forty five with
Speaker 1: me and Seg. Lots of stuff going on. Mount McClain's
Speaker 1: on the disabled list. About two years ago. He had
Speaker 1: a lat problem. Whatever a lat is. I thought it
Speaker 1: was like a reindeer somewhere in Estonia. And then after
Speaker 1: that he missed about five weeks of the season last year,
Speaker 1: was out completely. He's kind of like the Nick Sanzel.
Speaker 1: He was out completely because he had that shoulder problem.
Speaker 1: Now he's out with a hamstring problem. Who knows what's next,
Speaker 1: But until then we have to get Mount McLain back in.
Speaker 2: So much more.
Speaker 1: But Brian Hamrick, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Showing. Brian,
Speaker 1: have you ever had a circumstance in your repertorial career
Speaker 1: where you had a lat problem, a shoulder problem, a
Speaker 1: hamstring problem. He also broke a thumb, supposedly at UCLA,
Speaker 1: and you couldn't do your job, you couldn't report.
Speaker 3: Thanks again, mister Cunningham. I have had just about every
Speaker 3: injury that you can imagine, not all at once usually,
Speaker 3: but I've had injury on I knew a guy though,
Speaker 3: that the only guy I've ever seen in a full
Speaker 3: body cast. He was in the Green Beret with my dad.
Speaker 3: My dad was in Green Beret for thirty five years,
Speaker 3: and they jumped out of airplanes. My dad was a
Speaker 3: jump master, but this was a weekend, not with the military.
Speaker 3: This guy comes over my dad and he goes, hey,
Speaker 3: some of us are going to go skydive, and you
Speaker 3: want to go. My dad was building our house at
Speaker 3: the time, and they said I can't go tonight. Joe
Speaker 3: goes with some guys to shoot. It comes open, but
Speaker 3: it's wrapped up and it would not and it took
Speaker 3: wouldn't open fully. He goes barreling into a graveyard, hit
Speaker 3: break every bone in his body. They thought he was
Speaker 3: gonna die.
Speaker 4: My dad.
Speaker 3: They wouldn't let my dad up in there. My dad
Speaker 3: goes to the hospital, He takes a he takes a
Speaker 3: doctor's jacket. He finds one, puts it on, grabs a clipboard,
Speaker 3: and walks.
Speaker 4: Into his buddy room, who he believes is dying.
Speaker 3: Because he's like, they're not going to keep me out
Speaker 3: of here. He goes in because I'm here to see
Speaker 3: mister Deames.
Speaker 4: They all lady man. He goes in and sees.
Speaker 3: Him go ends up pulling through within a full body
Speaker 3: cast and live to jump again.
Speaker 4: So yeah, talk about injury.
Speaker 1: I think Matt mckinne, we need to get him in
Speaker 1: bubble wrap or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's only twenty five years old.
Speaker 2: He cast geeze.
Speaker 1: Anyway, they're winning without him and they're losing with him.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. Let's talk about where we
Speaker 1: are with the flood, then that terrible wreck I think
Speaker 1: in Boone County. But first of all, talk about the flood.
Speaker 1: You're traveling thither and fro. I know Tony Benner's out there,
Speaker 1: He's always checking to see where the flooding is.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: So we sit here this Wednesday afternoon. What's happening on
Speaker 1: Riverside Drive, what's happening in New Richmond, what's happening Indiana?
Speaker 1: What's happening in Boone County. Give me a full report.
Speaker 3: Well, the Ohio River is dropping, and you can see
Speaker 3: it's a noticeable drop, but it is still very high.
Speaker 3: I just left Riverside Drive. It is still covering all
Speaker 3: of Riverside Drive over there. Although it was clear up
Speaker 3: in that little park that's there. It is kind of
Speaker 3: it's made its way out of the park, but it
Speaker 3: is still covering Riverside Drive.
Speaker 4: So it's down.
Speaker 3: We could see from Newport we saw today, took a
Speaker 3: look at the banks. When you go down there, you're
Speaker 3: going to see a lot of water still there, although
Speaker 3: it is down some. But there's a lot of things
Speaker 3: going on in places that are hit hard. Where you know,
Speaker 3: downtown it's it's mostly parks and that sort of thing.
Speaker 3: But you know, out in New Richmond, for example, there
Speaker 3: were seventy eight homes that were surrounded with water out there.
Speaker 3: Homes and businesses still covered Front Street. So they started
Speaker 3: handing out supplies and yesterday afternoon they got in some
Speaker 3: supplies to help people clean up.
Speaker 4: We're churches there.
Speaker 3: There's still a lot of places have electricity cut off.
Speaker 3: I think there were sixty two places they had electricity
Speaker 3: cut off. They will probably as the water begins to receive,
Speaker 3: start putting that back on in the next couple of days.
Speaker 3: But we still have several days even though the water
Speaker 3: is starting to receive, before people can even get back
Speaker 3: into their homes. And then that's just when the cleanup
Speaker 3: can begin, and you know, it takes sometimes weeks get
Speaker 3: this mess cleaned up.
Speaker 1: It's a you know, we're known as river City for
Speaker 1: a reason and river City showing, and of course I
Speaker 1: love New Richmond to find lions out there. And later on,
Speaker 1: maybe today you call it with a report on that,
Speaker 1: but I don't know where you go. It's the way
Speaker 1: things are, and because of the locks and the dams,
Speaker 1: things are much better now than they were before. One
Speaker 1: thing that's captivated at the tri State is what happened
Speaker 1: in Boone County with Deputy say, a sixty six year
Speaker 1: old driver of an SUV took that turn from Beaver
Speaker 1: Road to Highway forty two right into the path of
Speaker 1: a dump truck loaded with gravel. Tell the American people
Speaker 1: what happened there. You've been there. It's a terrible scene.
Speaker 1: Two people are dead. Give me a full report on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So this is a really dangerous intersection down there.
Speaker 4: I've crossed that.
Speaker 3: Thing hundreds of times both ways. Forty two out there.
Speaker 3: Forty two turns into two lane, and so it's two lane.
Speaker 3: And this intersection with where if you go to Big
Speaker 3: Bone State Park down there, it's right there where you
Speaker 3: make that turn to go down into Big Boat. Well,
Speaker 3: it's right at the.
Speaker 4: Bottom of a hill.
Speaker 3: And then both ways it's sort of a down in
Speaker 3: the valley. So both ways you've got vehicles that are moving,
Speaker 3: usually at a.
Speaker 4: Pretty high rate of speed.
Speaker 3: And if you've got a car one seventy miles an hour,
Speaker 3: which is not unusual, and another one going seventy five,
Speaker 3: you've got you know, basically what one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: mile an hour cars passing each other. And I would
Speaker 3: say that happens at least all day every day.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: And so what happened is this woman starts to turn out.
Speaker 3: Sounds like he was going on to forty two, and
Speaker 3: here comes a dump truck. And there's a lot of
Speaker 3: these big trucks out there, A big dump truck full
Speaker 3: of gravel. There's gravel pits or sand pits out in
Speaker 3: that direction. And if he's coming down that hill, even
Speaker 3: if he was going fifty miles an hour and this
Speaker 3: person pulls out, there is no way to get that
Speaker 3: vehicle stopped.
Speaker 4: It's on a.
Speaker 3: Downhill slide and there is no way. And there was
Speaker 3: some video that was posted of it. And it is
Speaker 3: just a powerful impact of this thing, you know, and unsurprising.
Speaker 3: I have covered multiple fatal accidents out there of the years,
Speaker 3: and it is a very dangerous intersection.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I talked to Jesse Brewer this morning. I think maybe
Speaker 3: he was slooney or earlier. Today he's saying that, you know,
Speaker 3: these roads in Boone County need to be addressed. There's
Speaker 3: actually a meeting coming up the twenty second. He's called
Speaker 3: the governor, the Secretary of Transportation. He wants them to come.
Speaker 3: He says, what happened is all these roads, and this
Speaker 3: is typical, were put in back at a time when
Speaker 3: the population was about half what it is now, and
Speaker 3: so you've got a huge number of people going places
Speaker 3: faster than they ever have and you got roads that
Speaker 3: were not designed for that. And so this is a
Speaker 3: situation and one of the places that needs to be
Speaker 3: taken care of and needs to be addressed in the future.
Speaker 3: So we'll see how that works out. But it's been
Speaker 3: a problem for a wa time.
Speaker 1: Well, in Cincinnati they do it by potholes and by
Speaker 1: speed bumps. They don't fix the potholes that slows everyone down.
Speaker 1: Speed Bumps are everywhere, especially on Madison Road. They're everywhere.
Speaker 1: And Boone County was not configured to hold what's happening
Speaker 1: on these roads. And Tony Benner loves living in Boone County.
Speaker 1: He loves going to the Boondocks Pub and grub. That's
Speaker 1: where he likes to leave. He loves to go to
Speaker 1: Big Bone Park and sit on a picnic table and
Speaker 1: have a beer. And that's just part of the deal.
Speaker 1: But somehow there must be a major, incredibly large highway
Speaker 1: project that takes care of the roads and so called
Speaker 1: rural communities that were not configured. And you can't have
Speaker 1: a dump truck filled with gravel. That thing must have
Speaker 1: weighed twenty thousand pounds. It would take a football fielder
Speaker 1: longer to stop. Woman pulls out in two of the
Speaker 1: driver relatives in the car who I want to mention
Speaker 1: their names. Ninety one year old Eva Mulberry. Eighty nine
Speaker 1: year old Betty Hilliard died. I would imagine at the
Speaker 1: scene and then these vehicles found themselves inside the restaurant.
Speaker 5: Explain that, well, I think once that caught that that
Speaker 5: massive truck had all that weight, all that inertia moving forward, it.
Speaker 3: Just scoops them up like a snowplow and just pushes them,
Speaker 3: you know, ahead. So fortunately nobody in the restaurant. I
Speaker 3: have been in that Boondog's restaurant a number of times,
Speaker 3: and and sometimes it is packed.
Speaker 4: That time of day on a weeknight, it was not.
Speaker 3: If it would have gone in there when there were
Speaker 3: people in there, you would have had multiple casualties inside
Speaker 3: that restaurant as well.
Speaker 4: So U it's just very fortunate that.
Speaker 3: You know, there was nobody sitting where that you know,
Speaker 3: those vehicles came inside the restaurant because it just went
Speaker 3: all the way through the side of that you know
Speaker 3: wall that was facing forty two.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess charges must be filed against someone. I
Speaker 1: guess the only one dead or the are the women
Speaker 1: in the in the es They were in the suv
Speaker 1: correct when it pulled.
Speaker 4: Out, I believe so. And I didn't get a chance
Speaker 4: to see, how know, if.
Speaker 3: They sighted the woman for getting out, I don't know.
Speaker 4: You know, the the truck driver would have had to
Speaker 4: ride away. It's not a it's not a four way
Speaker 4: off there, you know.
Speaker 3: So you know, whether somebody gets sighted or not, I'm
Speaker 3: not sure, but it's it's just I mean, you would
Speaker 3: have to get out and then gun it to get
Speaker 3: out of the way, you know, And I'm just maybe
Speaker 3: they just didn't see the vehicle or how it happened.
Speaker 3: But like I said, I can tell you this. I
Speaker 3: get out that way. The roads are vson out that
Speaker 3: way on the bikes, and people seem to be pretty
Speaker 3: amenable out there. They see you, they're used to, you know,
Speaker 3: having bikes out in that area. You go out toward
Speaker 3: Rabbit Hash out there, and you know, the roads are
Speaker 3: great and like I said, people some people seem to
Speaker 3: get along pretty good out there. But when you cross
Speaker 3: that road right there, man, it is it is difficult.
Speaker 3: And we make that crossing pretty frequently. So you've got
Speaker 3: to really be aware and not only look, but listen
Speaker 3: for the vehicles when you get there, and you know
Speaker 3: somebody's talking or not paying attention or just not as aware,
Speaker 3: maybe looked up and didn't see it. On a gray
Speaker 3: day with a truck that's buried in the trees up there,
Speaker 3: you know, just may not have seen it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what comes of that now.
Speaker 1: Thirdly, yesterday I had on the great Rob Broun of
Speaker 1: Channel twelve talking about the reason he got out of
Speaker 1: the business was it changed fundamentally. And I know we're
Speaker 1: changing fundamentally here in radio because we bought all of
Speaker 1: our competitors. We have more listeners now than we've ever had.
Speaker 1: And that's good and bad in the sense because we've
Speaker 1: created the monster that we have to respond to what
Speaker 1: listeners and your case viewers want. You have more institutional
Speaker 1: memory than anyone between you and John London, Karen Johnson
Speaker 1: about the best there is. And he talked about he
Speaker 1: got out because the changes were such he just didn't
Speaker 1: want to continue. And just reminisce about the institutional memory
Speaker 1: that you have and the personality that you have that
Speaker 1: cannot be replaced. And I think Bob Bron and Rob
Speaker 1: Bron and what he did for you know, thirty almost
Speaker 1: forty years cannot be replaced. What do you see on
Speaker 1: the on the ground as you travel the highways and byways.
Speaker 1: No one has more institutional memory or more of a
Speaker 1: personality than Brian Hamry. As far as reporting the news,
Speaker 1: do you see your job going away like so many
Speaker 1: others or not?
Speaker 3: You know, I've tried to look into the crystal ball
Speaker 3: into the future. I'm not sure, you know, as long
Speaker 3: as people want to know what is happening in their
Speaker 3: in their neighborhoods, and you know, you can only be
Speaker 3: covered so well with social media. They get there's a
Speaker 3: lot of people put things on social media. It will
Speaker 3: be difficult for social media to replace, you know, like
Speaker 3: television news. But we've also got you know, people talk about,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 4: Well maybe that's going to go away, but.
Speaker 3: We've also they said that about radio, but he said,
Speaker 3: you got more listeners than you've ever had. I don't
Speaker 3: see it going away, but it may change, uh. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, we also have the whole digital side. I
Speaker 3: just got done shooting a little piece for digital with
Speaker 3: before and after shots of you know, the water and
Speaker 3: where it is, you know, so we'll do things like that.
Speaker 3: The pace has ramped up, you know.
Speaker 4: When I started back.
Speaker 3: In you know, like nineteen eighty seven, we had one
Speaker 3: newscast and it was six o'clock and almost no live shots,
Speaker 3: you know, and so it went from that and then
Speaker 3: suddenly we had expanded morning shows and then we got
Speaker 3: a four. Let's see, we went to five, five thirty
Speaker 3: and six first, and then you know, recently we went
Speaker 3: to four, four thirty, five, five thirty six.
Speaker 5: Three o'clock, got two o'clock, gotten at eleven.
Speaker 3: We've got expanded morning shows, we got the noon and
Speaker 3: so trying to keep that up. And you know, there
Speaker 3: there have been a lot of talk about, well, these
Speaker 3: ratings are drop up their half or what they were,
Speaker 3: but we got so many more shows. People are just
Speaker 3: able to tune in when they want. So, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I've never looked at how it looks,
Speaker 3: but I do know this.
Speaker 4: We had.
Speaker 3: The head of Hurst came and spoke to us here
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. At the station Hurst ownership.
Speaker 3: They owned more than thirty TV stations around the country,
Speaker 3: and and Hurst is I think pretty well known. I
Speaker 3: don't think i'd be exaggerating to say it is the
Speaker 3: best ownership, you know, as far as your large ownerships go.
Speaker 3: I really think there are a lot of people believe
Speaker 3: it's probably the the best for working conditions among the
Speaker 3: TV news reporters in local markets and he said. One
Speaker 3: of the things that they notice that when people come
Speaker 3: by and they start talking about a cable and satellite
Speaker 3: and all these things, one of the three things right
Speaker 3: up there with like they want their esp and sports.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: Top three in every single market and every single request
Speaker 3: is local news. There is a demand for it. Peop
Speaker 3: will expect to see it so uh. But it has changed.
Speaker 3: Its changed unbelievably over the years. And people will always
Speaker 3: ask me, you know, they say, well, do you still
Speaker 3: enjoy doing I enjoy doing it. It's great, say sometimes
Speaker 3: though it's too much of a good thing, you know,
Speaker 3: It's just just there's just a lot of it. And
Speaker 3: and I got a certain way I like to tell
Speaker 3: a story. I like to write it in a way
Speaker 3: that's a little different. I like to try and to me,
Speaker 3: TV news is still telling people's stories. It's it's not
Speaker 3: so much about the facts and the figures. If those
Speaker 3: don't line up on anything. It's like the water rises
Speaker 3: in the woods. Who cares a tornado hits out in
Speaker 3: the wilderness, and a knockdown big tree.
Speaker 4: It doesn't affect anybody.
Speaker 3: It's only when these events affect people. And that's what
Speaker 3: you know. If you see my story, you'll see, you know,
Speaker 3: somebody else.
Speaker 4: Or the newspaper will have way.
Speaker 3: More fact than figures. But what I try and bring,
Speaker 3: and what I believe TV does the best, is bring
Speaker 3: the emotion and.
Speaker 4: The people and all that.
Speaker 3: When I was getting my masters at the University of Oklahoma,
Speaker 3: it was almost all newspaper people in there with me,
Speaker 3: and they were always, you know, kind of giving TV.
Speaker 4: A hard time.
Speaker 3: We can put more information on the front half of
Speaker 3: the newspaper, then you can put in the entire newscast there.
Speaker 3: And I sat and listened to them for about two weeks.
Speaker 3: I didn't know anybody, and finally I sat up. I said, yeah,
Speaker 3: let me just tell you something. I said, what you
Speaker 3: do is very important and what we do is important,
Speaker 3: but it's two different things. And I said, let me
Speaker 3: just give you an example. You have had since time began,
Speaker 3: since the written word began to tell people about war
Speaker 3: and the horrors of war. But and you did over
Speaker 3: the years, but there was still this attitude, We're gonna
Speaker 3: go for the glory and run. Not until the TV
Speaker 3: cameras went in during Vietnam and showed people what war
Speaker 3: was really like, did they understand.
Speaker 4: What what actually happened in war.
Speaker 3: And I said, you had your cans and you.
Speaker 4: Blew it and you didn't do it.
Speaker 3: I said, until we got there you could see these guys.
Speaker 3: I remember vivid images of soldiers who had been hit
Speaker 3: like with Foxphorus, and they're laying on tables, shaking uncontrollably
Speaker 3: as the doctors are working on them. And these guys
Speaker 3: in the bushes and the you know, the being hit
Speaker 3: and being treated in the jungle, and it's I mean,
Speaker 3: you're like nobody, nobody wants there's no glory in that.
Speaker 3: You know, it is this is this is a you know,
Speaker 3: it is a tragedy to see people injured and killed,
Speaker 3: in young people dying this way. It brought a whole
Speaker 3: new perspective on what war really was.
Speaker 4: And that's the.
Speaker 3: Difference between I think newspaper and TELL. I never had
Speaker 3: the argument with them again.
Speaker 4: They never brought it.
Speaker 1: Well, Brian Hamrick, you're the best that you have institutional memory,
Speaker 1: you have the personality and I often say the tough
Speaker 1: times don't last, but tough men and women do. Keep
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. I'll keep doing what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: As long as people want to communicate, will be in
Speaker 1: great shape. Got to run up against the clock. Brian
Speaker 1: Hamrick of the Power five, once again, thank you for
Speaker 1: coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian, Thanks again, mister Cunningham.
Speaker 1: And God bless America. I love that sign off always.
Speaker 1: Reds Baseball kicks off about two forty five today, it's
Speaker 1: your home of the Reds. They're unbelievable. They win, win,
Speaker 1: and win some more on News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: All right, David Keaton hit the music.
Speaker 1: The Reds are on a bit of a roll right now.
Speaker 1: In fact, the Giants have lost a total of three
Speaker 1: games this year, and all three are at the hands
Speaker 1: of the Reds, and they're not scoring at all. But
Speaker 1: the pitching staff is among the best in baseball and
Speaker 1: help is on the way. But help is not needed
Speaker 1: with the pitching staff. Help is needed when it comes
Speaker 1: to hitting the baseball. Historically, the Reds could always hit.
Speaker 1: They couldn't pitch. Now they're pitching and it can't hit.
Speaker 1: But when you win one to nothing, two to nothing,
Speaker 1: that's not bad. We'll see what happens today. Our coverage
Speaker 1: begins about two forty five. The Reds a bit of
Speaker 1: a roll. They sweep the Giants back home for the Pirates.
Speaker 1: See what happens this weekend, take a little time off
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Get it together. Mount mclan's got to get healthy.
Speaker 1: He's becoming like the Nick Sanzel of the Reds and
Speaker 1: the Kids. Twenty five years old. You should be in
Speaker 1: your prime when it comes to health. Would you agree
Speaker 1: when you were twenty five years old, how much time
Speaker 1: did you take off for a latch strain or a
Speaker 1: bad shoulder or a bad hamstring? At UCLA had a
Speaker 1: thumb problem or a finger problem. And I don't know
Speaker 1: what to say. And maybe it's just one of those
Speaker 1: things that he is injury prone and nothing we can
Speaker 1: do to help. And that's the case. The Reds have
Speaker 1: to readjust and see what happens. In fact, the first
Speaker 1: time he was able to come up from the miners,
Speaker 1: he might recall the last five weeks of the season
Speaker 1: and they were making a bit of a run with
Speaker 1: Mount McClain looking good. He got hurt for the first time,
Speaker 1: some sort of light injury. So he missed the last
Speaker 1: five weeks of the season. In twenty three, then twenty
Speaker 1: four didn't play a game, and twenty five he's played
Speaker 1: less than half the games, and they've played about eleven
Speaker 1: or twelve games, so in those did some easy deer
Speaker 1: park math. Since up for the miners, McLain has should
Speaker 1: have played in about two hundred to Reds baseball games.
Speaker 1: He's played in about seven of the two hundred, and
Speaker 1: by the way, Dela Cruz is in a terrible slump,
Speaker 1: something like three for the last twenty one. So so
Speaker 1: much for the torpedo bat but the pitching staff is
Speaker 1: really unbelievable. We'll see what happens today, then on the weekend.
Speaker 1: Good stuff going on. Secondly, do we have the ability
Speaker 1: as Americans to play the long game with the tariffs?
Speaker 1: Is it possible that we have patients to accept things
Speaker 1: that should be done, But it's going to take quite
Speaker 1: a bit of time. And my answer to that question
Speaker 1: generally is not. The goal of the Trumpster is to
Speaker 1: restore an industrial base in revolutionary ways, mainly in the
Speaker 1: middle class, mainly in the middle part of the country.
Speaker 1: In the last fifteen years has been something like ninety
Speaker 1: thousand US factories have closed ninety thousand, and the manufacturing
Speaker 1: base in this country accounts for just ten percent of GDP,
Speaker 1: half of what it was under Ronald Reagan. So we
Speaker 1: got a problem. We've got a major problem. Hijauping. By
Speaker 1: the way, the leader of communists Red China, I don't
Speaker 1: think he's going to face the midterms. He doesn't worry
Speaker 1: about PBS or v XU or George Stephanopolis, doesn't care
Speaker 1: about that at all, doesn't care what Lester Holtz says
Speaker 1: or what CNN the guess they put on. They play
Speaker 1: the long game. In fact, the communist Red Chinese, like
Speaker 1: wing Hamas Killers say, you know what, if it takes
Speaker 1: a thousand years, We're okay with that. Takes some time.
Speaker 1: In America, that's not the way things are. We demand
Speaker 1: immediate gratification, immediate results, and if the results don't come,
Speaker 1: then we're going to hold someone accountable. And all what's
Speaker 1: happening now On the left wing media ABC, NBCCBSPBS, VXU,
Speaker 1: GUC throwing, the New York Times, Washington Post, they run
Speaker 1: crazy stories constantly about how bad a job Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is doing, despite the fact, according to Harry Entton of
Speaker 1: CNN that if the election were held today, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: would be Kamala Harris fifty two to thirty eight. So
Speaker 1: more and more and more Americans don't rely upon the
Speaker 1: mainstream media for information. They rely upon talk radio and
Speaker 1: podcast and their own common sense.
Speaker 2: That's the way it is.
Speaker 1: So going back a little bit in time, after World
Speaker 1: War Two, we said to the Europeans, they can export
Speaker 1: all their products to America, freebee, no terriff. We wanted
Speaker 1: to have the European economy, which was destroyed for about
Speaker 1: five or ten years after nineteen forty five, to get
Speaker 1: on his feet, so we kept encouraging them, please do things,
Speaker 1: sell your products in America. And over the past several decades,
Speaker 1: those issues have metastasized right now to such an extent
Speaker 1: that German cars flood the US marketplace, but American cars
Speaker 1: cannot be sold in Europe.
Speaker 2: Same thing with China.
Speaker 1: The Chinese products can be sold in America, but our
Speaker 1: products cannot be sold in China. And to protect the
Speaker 1: whole thing, the United States said, you know, we're going
Speaker 1: to build the most massive, greatest blue water Navy to
Speaker 1: defend international waterways and permanently deploy around the globe one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, half a million American soldiers.
Speaker 1: So right now we have seven hundred and fifty military
Speaker 1: bases in one hundred different countries, and we spend more
Speaker 1: in defense than rest the next ten nations put together
Speaker 1: to protect trade and protect what we're doing. So in
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties, we might recall the Clinton eastas seized
Speaker 1: power along with Monica Lewinsky, and there are all kinds
Speaker 1: of trade concessions were made to extend to communist China,
Speaker 1: which was in trouble. You might recall. The guy's name
Speaker 1: was Xizhao Ping, might recall him. And China had a
Speaker 1: terrible problem. Most Chinese did not have running water, did
Speaker 1: not have toilet systems, they had nothing. They were living
Speaker 1: medieval and so the thought was, well, that's a hell
Speaker 1: of a market for American products, right, So in the
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties and then in the early two thousands, we said,
Speaker 1: you know what, We're going to upgrade completely the Chinese
Speaker 1: economic system because that's a great market. And American manufacturers said, hell, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that's a great market.
Speaker 2: This is thirty twenty, thirty, thirty years ago.
Speaker 1: We have seven hundred million Chinese who want to be
Speaker 1: in the middle class. They want to wear clothes, they
Speaker 1: want to have flush toilets, they want electricity, they want
Speaker 1: functional universities, let's help the Chinese come into the twenty
Speaker 1: first century and beyond That was the article of faith
Speaker 1: not just from the Clinton Eastas but also from George
Speaker 1: Bush forty three.
Speaker 2: We got to build up the Chinese.
Speaker 1: We've got to make the middle class large, and our
Speaker 1: company is going to grossly benefit. And the same thing
Speaker 1: with Mexico and China, Mexico and Canada. All right, you
Speaker 1: might recall and I want one back to YouTube and
Speaker 1: check this out. And Ross pro said during the nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety two presidential election, the minute NAFTA went into effect,
Speaker 1: there was a giant sucking sound of factories moving out
Speaker 1: of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana because the doors are wide open.
Speaker 1: Go to China, go to Malaysia, go to South Korea,
Speaker 1: go to Japan, go to Vietnam, go to Cambodia. And
Speaker 1: multinationals said, yes, we can make all these products over there.
Speaker 1: We're doing good. We're building up to Chinese middle class.
Speaker 1: It is wonderful. Now, look what's happened. The Chinese middle
Speaker 1: class is allegedly about six hundred million strong, six hundred
Speaker 1: million who want to buy these nice things. And by
Speaker 1: the way, if you're a Chinese middle class type Americans.
Speaker 1: If you stay out of politics, if you don't worry
Speaker 1: about posting things against the Communist Party, and if you're
Speaker 1: not religious, if you're not a Catholic, not a Christian,
Speaker 1: you're in pretty good shape. In fact, Thomas Friedman, I
Speaker 1: listened about half the things he says in The New
Speaker 1: York Times said, living in China, one doesn't worry about crime,
Speaker 1: one does not worry about growing old.
Speaker 2: There's no Chinese putting their parents or grandparents in nursing
Speaker 2: homes or in retirement centers. That doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: The family cares for the family, and normally the father
Speaker 1: and the family sets up most of the stuff going on.
Speaker 1: And it's a great way to live in In fact, Thomas
Speaker 1: Friedman says, their airports and their public spaces are the
Speaker 1: envy of the world in America. Try going into most
Speaker 1: major cities, including small towns like Lachland, Ohio, between Wyoming
Speaker 1: and writing right here in Emlinald County, drive through it.
Speaker 1: It looks like a third world country that would not
Speaker 1: be put up with whatsoever in China. And so Thomas
Speaker 1: Friedman makes the point that the future is going to
Speaker 1: be Chinese because they have so called a benevolent dictator.
Speaker 1: As long as you don't raise your head and talk
Speaker 1: about politics, which Americans love to do, you're in pretty
Speaker 1: good shape. And so now we're left. For the last
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty years, we said, now, wait a minute.
Speaker 1: We've built up Europe after World War Two, after the
Speaker 1: Nazis were dispersed. We've built up Japan that was obliterated
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty five through nineteen fifty five MacArthur, etc.
Speaker 1: We now have created a large middle class in China
Speaker 1: because of NAFTA, in which American products have said, you
Speaker 1: know what, we can sell them in China. We've got
Speaker 1: a brand new market. And all of a sudden, now
Speaker 1: it comes to twenty twenty five, a new sheriff in town,
Speaker 1: and this president has said, now, wait a minute. We've
Speaker 1: built up the world to their benefit. What are we
Speaker 1: receiving in return? And the answer is from China and
Speaker 1: from Europe, zero zilch nada. As our soldiers and our
Speaker 1: navy and our airmen continue to protect her Europe who
Speaker 1: don't pay their fair share, and that we're paying the
Speaker 1: bills and we're not getting the benefits. Does anyone smell
Speaker 1: when I'm cooking. Here a little economic history lesson. I
Speaker 1: had a great economic teacher at Deer Park High School
Speaker 1: named Roy Dixon. That guy was fabulous. I still remember him.
Speaker 1: And a guy et Xavier named doctor Joseph Link. I
Speaker 1: still remember him, and doctor Edward Bergerman. I remember him.
Speaker 1: And so the rules of the nineteen forties, sixties, nineteen eighties,
Speaker 1: twenty years ago don't apply anymore. The world's going to
Speaker 1: be this century a Chinese dominated world unless we get
Speaker 1: the trade correct, in which we will trade with you,
Speaker 1: but in response, you have to allow our products into
Speaker 1: your country. And at this point do we have the
Speaker 1: guts and the guile and the determination to take our
Speaker 1: time and get that done. Sadly, my answer will be no.
Speaker 1: Every time the market wobbles, it's the lead story. If
Speaker 1: it bleeds, it leads in the media. And they're very
Speaker 1: willing to attack Donald Trump for tariffs. Whi's the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party itself embraced for decades. I played for you previously
Speaker 1: off YouTube a lot of the cuts of Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer talking about how tariffs are required for
Speaker 1: the working stiffs who live in middle of America. Well,
Speaker 1: that's people like you and me middle of America. But
Speaker 1: now if they can use this, may I say ignorance
Speaker 1: of the mainstream media and their political diet tribes who
Speaker 1: advance their own cause, They're going to do it as
Speaker 1: evidence of that. George Stephanopolis, who is of course the
Speaker 1: voice in the face of ABC News, did a little
Speaker 1: bit of work with Joe Biden. And normally you would
Speaker 1: anticipate the media would be on the side of independence,
Speaker 1: objectivity and partiality. Really ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR independent objective,
Speaker 1: not exactly. So he did an interview might you might
Speaker 1: recall in July first of last year with the President
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and the idea was by the Bidens to
Speaker 1: demonstrate how good, how functioning, what a great job that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is doing. In fact, it is obvious that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden should stand for another four years. So George
Speaker 1: Stephanopolis did an interview. And normally, if you're a real journalist,
Speaker 1: you want to get the facts objectively determined whether this
Speaker 1: guy is actually competent enough to serve four more years,
Speaker 1: much less in office for the last at that point
Speaker 1: three and a half years.
Speaker 2: Could he do it?
Speaker 1: And these books coming out, these tell all books, one
Speaker 1: is called Uncharted. George Stefanopolis is described how President Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was incoherent before the interview, during the interview, and
Speaker 1: after the interview. He said at court it was heartbreaking
Speaker 1: up close during a crucial post debate interview that was
Speaker 1: in the book. You might recall he debated Donald Trump
Speaker 1: in June, so he thought, okay, that was pretty bad.
Speaker 1: Debated him on June twenty seventh, and then a few
Speaker 1: days later I said, let's get him with somebody we
Speaker 1: can rely upon not to ask tough questions. I wonder
Speaker 1: what Walter Cronkite would.
Speaker 2: Say about that.
Speaker 1: So you go to your clintonist, George Stephanopolis, and in
Speaker 1: the new book by Chris Whipple titled Uncharted, How Trump
Speaker 1: beat Biden, Harrison the Odds and the Wildest campaign in History,
Speaker 1: that the Democratic operatives said to George Stefanopolis, okay, we
Speaker 1: have to upgrade. It was a disaster what happened in
Speaker 1: June with that debate. We need some help from you,
Speaker 1: and George dead I'll step up. The interview was on
Speaker 1: July the fifth, and Whipple described Biden, according to the book,
Speaker 1: quoting from George Stefanoppolis, that the President was horse and
Speaker 1: semhai incoherent throughout the interview, and a question whether or
Speaker 1: not he could understand or hear the questions that were
Speaker 1: being asked and the answers were non compliant with common
Speaker 1: sense and reason. And George Stephanopplis, you might recall, a
Speaker 1: few days later, was asked by an On Street reporter
Speaker 1: whether or not he thought that Joe Biden should continue
Speaker 1: to serve as a as a as a candidate, and
Speaker 1: Stephanoppolis said, quote, I don't think you can serve four
Speaker 1: more years. And so when our objective, independent, supposedly fair
Speaker 1: quote media protected by the First Amendment, the only business
Speaker 1: in the world in America protected by the First Amendment
Speaker 1: is the news media gathering business. When they're in the tank,
Speaker 1: they're in the bag for liberal Democrats, and you can't
Speaker 1: rely upon the mainstream media to give you objective, independent
Speaker 1: facts upon which you can cast an informed ballot. Garbage in,
Speaker 1: garbage out, my god, away in trouble. So, instead of
Speaker 1: asking Joe Biden questions about who's your secretary of Defense,
Speaker 1: who is your secretary of State, who's your White House counsel,
Speaker 1: can you describe the interactions of the American military forces
Speaker 1: in I Rock with the Syrian Liberation Front. Questions that
Speaker 1: a typical president would say, you know, my secretary of
Speaker 1: Defense is Lloyd Austin, my secretary of State, just rattle
Speaker 1: them off. Presidents know answer to these questions, right, But
Speaker 1: Joe Biden did not know the answers of these questions.
Speaker 1: At cabinet meetings. You would have his wife and son
Speaker 1: literally conduct cabinet meetings. And while this is going on,
Speaker 1: he's not a candidate. Joe Biden was the president making
Speaker 1: important life and death decisions all over the world, appointing
Speaker 1: federal judges, federal bureaucrats, signing with an auto pen, supposedly
Speaker 1: all these orders and commutations and bardens. But here is
Speaker 1: a perfect example. And by the mainstream media looks to
Speaker 1: prop up the Democrats and hurt the Republicans.
Speaker 2: That's the way the game is played.
Speaker 1: And it's sad because we can't rely upon the mainstream
Speaker 1: media for objective information. So on this front, do we
Speaker 1: have the guts and guile and patience to accept what
Speaker 1: has to happen to bring China into tow with the
Speaker 1: rest of the civilized world. The answers, I don't think
Speaker 1: we do. And the idea was is to build up
Speaker 1: middle class and have economic trading partners. But the Chinese
Speaker 1: put up these high barriers. Our products can't go in,
Speaker 1: and we have low barriers. Their products flood into America,
Speaker 1: taken American jobs, and once they crash an economy, whether
Speaker 1: it's steel making or energy, whatever it might be, they
Speaker 1: then jack up the price and put us out of business.
Speaker 1: And so this is the last gasp of this wonderful
Speaker 1: American democratic experiment and self governance. Whether the people who
Speaker 1: believe in democracy and democratically elected Donald Trump by wide
Speaker 1: margins knowing what was coming, to stay the course and
Speaker 1: ji Jiu Ping does not have to face I think
Speaker 1: a midterm election, doesn't have to worry about the George
Speaker 1: Stephanopoliss of Beijing doesn't have to worry about campus protests,
Speaker 1: doesn't have to worry about the stock market in China.
Speaker 1: If it takes a thousand years, he has said, we
Speaker 1: will bring America to heal, and we finally have a
Speaker 1: president is saying not on my watch, not on my watch,
Speaker 1: that will not happen. And when we stay the course,
Speaker 1: my answer generally will be I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1: I hope it happens. I have a sense that the
Speaker 1: mainstream media has less power now than has head at
Speaker 1: least in the last seventy or eighty years. And Brian
Speaker 1: Hambrick addressed some of that concerns just before. I stay
Speaker 1: tuned for more coming up next to Steve Gorm about
Speaker 1: how the terror fight is killing the green energy which
Speaker 1: might be a good thing. Plus later on your comments
Speaker 1: at five Pine three, seven four nine, seven thousand, Bill
Speaker 1: Cunning into Great America with your day. Well you stay
Speaker 1: the course on news Radio seven hundred WW Bill Cunning
Speaker 1: in the Great American of course, the markets with the
Speaker 1: fluctuations are unbelievable. Up down, thousand points here, two thousand
Speaker 1: points there. And it's going to be a belly match
Speaker 1: between Jijao Ping on one hand, maybe the Big Show
Speaker 1: on one hand, and then the Andra Andre the Giant
Speaker 1: on the other. You got ping Ge against Trump. Someone's
Speaker 1: got a back down. No one's going to back down.
Speaker 1: If they back down, what does it all mean? Joining
Speaker 1: you and I now. Steve Gorm he's the executive director
Speaker 1: of the Climate Science Coalition of America, author of four
Speaker 1: books on energy, including The Great One, which is out
Speaker 1: available from any to see the green breakdown, the coming
Speaker 1: renewable energy failure. Steve gorm and, first of all, Steve,
Speaker 1: welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Steve, a
Speaker 1: lot of people would like to know with the green
Speaker 1: energy breakdown happening. I see windmills falling apart in New England.
Speaker 1: I see coal miners are happy in West Virginia. I
Speaker 1: see pipelines being now authorized. But one issue that has
Speaker 1: come to mind is all these tariff the tariff war
Speaker 1: is going on. You have said that these tariffs specifically
Speaker 1: will hammer green energy. Can you explain that to the
Speaker 1: American people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really amazing what's going on now.
Speaker 2: Not only we've.
Speaker 6: Talked about before the Trump executive orders that want to
Speaker 6: cut down green energy for this country. We also talked
Speaker 6: about Trump suspending all of the offshore wind leases for
Speaker 6: the offshore wind which affects ten states and affects California,
Speaker 6: Oregon on the west coast, ten states on the East coast.
Speaker 6: But now we have this tremendous tariff war going on,
Speaker 6: and this is really a big issue with green energy.
Speaker 6: And depending on when folks are listening to this, the
Speaker 6: United States has raised the tariffs on Chinese imports to
Speaker 6: over hundred percent, and China has just boosted the retaliatory
Speaker 6: tariffs up to eighty four percent on US goods that
Speaker 6: are sold in China. So we have a tremendous war
Speaker 6: going on between the US and China. And there are
Speaker 6: some other angles to this as well. First off, a
Speaker 6: lot of this affects green energy, and that's because we
Speaker 6: import a lot of green energy components from China. China
Speaker 6: produces over eighty percent of the solar panels that come
Speaker 6: into the US, or they produce components, and China has
Speaker 6: been offshoring some of this to Vietnam and other places.
Speaker 6: But Trump's tariffs are also on Vietnam, and so we
Speaker 6: have sol ourselves. We have components for batteries that go
Speaker 6: into electric vehicles. China refines about sixty percent of the
Speaker 6: world's lithium, eighty percent of the cobalt, ninety percent of
Speaker 6: the manganese, and the east go into electric vehicle batteries,
Speaker 6: and also the batteries that are going the grid scale
Speaker 6: batteries that California and New York and some other states
Speaker 6: want to put into place as well. So it's just
Speaker 6: a tremendous impact. We also have these tariffs affecting Europe,
Speaker 6: and many many of the wind turbines that are that
Speaker 6: want to go off the East Coast are coming from
Speaker 6: a European suppliers and those are going to be hit
Speaker 6: with twenty percent or so. So really a tremendous impact
Speaker 6: on renewables. Whereas you know, we can remain the biggest
Speaker 6: producer of natural gas, of petroleum, of one of the
Speaker 6: biggest producers of coal in the world. These things are
Speaker 6: are US produced, and so the price difference between hydrocarbons
Speaker 6: and renewables is going to get very, very big.
Speaker 1: And Steve Garma, I live in the Midwest, and whether
Speaker 1: it's Ohio or Indiana, because we were largely flat because
Speaker 1: of the ice at the Ice Age about fourteen thousand
Speaker 1: years ago. It scraped the land flat. So Indian, Ohio,
Speaker 1: many parts of Michigan have these huge wind turbines, and
Speaker 1: these things when they break down without a large battery
Speaker 1: storage system, these things don't work at all when the
Speaker 1: wind doesn't blow. The energy must be stored. One of
Speaker 1: the things that's always perplexed me off the East Coast
Speaker 1: is out the environmentalists always cried about the whales and
Speaker 1: the dolphins are being affected because of pollution, and all
Speaker 1: of us are against pollution, not too many of us
Speaker 1: are in favor of a green energy future because of
Speaker 1: the expenses. Can you explain why the environmentalist off New
Speaker 1: England suddenly find wind turbines which are gigantic. These things
Speaker 1: are not like a windmill. These things are unbelievable in
Speaker 1: size that have killed literally millions of marine animals over
Speaker 1: the past ten years. And now they're breaking down and
Speaker 1: there's no parts available, and the parts have become available
Speaker 1: are too expensive. China has us in a bad position
Speaker 1: when you talk about lithium and cobalt. Why don't the
Speaker 1: environmentalist care so much about whales and dolphins killed by
Speaker 1: their green energy future.
Speaker 2: They don't seem to care.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the environmental groups have sold their sold
Speaker 6: their souls to the superstiti.
Speaker 2: Of men made global warming.
Speaker 6: You're right back then in nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties, nineteen seventies,
Speaker 6: it was saved the whales. It was you know, let's
Speaker 6: talk about the oceans and the environment and real pollution.
Speaker 6: But the theory of climatism, or the ideology of climatism,
Speaker 6: has really become front and center for every environmental group,
Speaker 6: and now they're even willing to trade off birds and
Speaker 6: eagles that are chopped up by wind turbans, impact on
Speaker 6: whales off the coast, those things are now now secondary
Speaker 6: to global warming. It's very, very unfortunate, and I think
Speaker 6: that's one of the reasons why mister Trump doesn't like
Speaker 6: wind turbins. Yeah, and why he sees put a block
Speaker 6: on the licenses off the East coast. But we're just
Speaker 6: going to see this industry really really hammered.
Speaker 2: And it's not.
Speaker 6: Only the tariffs, but Trump administration has been cutting a
Speaker 6: US climate policy throughout his organization. He's basically told NASA
Speaker 6: that you're going to concentrate on space. Isn't that refreshing? Yes,
Speaker 6: because NASA was doing a lot of climate stuff. Noah
Speaker 6: is reducing headcount. They have about thirteen thousand personnel, they're
Speaker 6: cutting about two thousand, and a lot of those are
Speaker 6: tied to climate things. The EPA under Lee's Elden is
Speaker 6: cutting a lot of staff also tied to climate, and
Speaker 6: the Federal Energy Management Agency is cutting staff that have
Speaker 6: been doing work on climate change. So just tremendous top
Speaker 6: to bottom shifts in the administration.
Speaker 1: Well, we have Donald Trump wanting to save the whales
Speaker 1: and the Democrats want to kill them. Now another issue
Speaker 1: is pete Hegseth. You have a great colleg posted Steve
Speaker 1: Gorham about the new Secretary Department of Defense, and I
Speaker 1: saved the clip. I'm gonna play it later about Lloyd
Speaker 1: Austin sitting there and General Mark Milly. They're sitting there
Speaker 1: about two years ago, and one of the Republican Senators
Speaker 1: said Secretary Defense Lloyd Austin, who by the way, was
Speaker 1: a lobbyist for Raytheon.
Speaker 2: But that's a different issue.
Speaker 1: What are the two or three biggest issues facing the
Speaker 1: American military? So I would thought, you know, the biggest
Speaker 1: issues are like China about space, about the incapability we
Speaker 1: have of producing our own batteries to fuel, maybe the
Speaker 1: electrical grid. No, No, the biggest number one issue was
Speaker 1: white supremacy in the military, and the number two issue
Speaker 1: was climate change identification then mitigation. We have like seven
Speaker 1: hundred military bases in one hundred different countries, and so
Speaker 1: the Secretary Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chief said,
Speaker 1: we go into a military base, identify how we're inflicting
Speaker 1: ourselves upon the environment, and by doing so, we come
Speaker 1: up with a mitigation plan. So American military base, which
Speaker 1: is there to guard the natives, shall we say, whether
Speaker 1: in Europe or Asia or Africa from being invaded or whatever.
Speaker 1: The biggest thing is not the well being of the soldiers,
Speaker 1: but we have to identify climate change, and then we
Speaker 1: have to mitigate and spend billions of dollars making sure
Speaker 1: that our military bases are conversant with the demands of
Speaker 1: Greta Thunberg. Can you explain to me how that's possible
Speaker 1: for the American military.
Speaker 6: It's absolutely crazy. And this has been growing for a
Speaker 6: number of years now. Last month, the new Secretary of
Speaker 6: the Defense Department of Defense, Pete Hagsath, wrote that the
Speaker 6: Department of Defense does not do climate change crap. We
Speaker 6: do training and war fighting and so again a tremendous change.
Speaker 6: But this has been growing back since about since the
Speaker 6: Obama administration, about twenty ten. The Secretary of the Navy
Speaker 6: at that time, let's see Ray ABIs He made a
Speaker 6: statement in twenty eleven that said, no later than twenty twenty,
Speaker 6: at least half of the energy that the Navy uses
Speaker 6: both the float and the shore would come from non
Speaker 6: fossil fuel sources, and he called this the Great Green
Speaker 6: Fleet Initiative, And so the Navy spent literally almost one
Speaker 6: hundred billion dollars over a decade trying to They tried
Speaker 6: to do hybrid electric drive green destroyers, but then they
Speaker 6: found that they couldn't keep up with the carriers when
Speaker 6: they were running on those electric engines. And they tried
Speaker 6: to convert everything to biofuels, but the biofuel portion of
Speaker 6: the fuel cost fourteen dollars a gallon, about seven times
Speaker 6: as much as a diesel portion, and so it was
Speaker 6: a terrific failure. And by twenty twenty U twenty twenty two,
Speaker 6: if you exclude the nuclear carriers, less than one percent
Speaker 6: of the rest of the fuel came from biofuels, despite
Speaker 6: spending all these these billions. And then you know, but
Speaker 6: under the Biden administration, they were doubling down. If you
Speaker 6: look at a climate report, there was a Climate Action
Speaker 6: two thirty plan from the Navy, and it was lauding
Speaker 6: things like these projects. They had one called the Mekong
Speaker 6: Delta Climate Research collaboration with the government of Vietnam, and
Speaker 6: then they had another one on California organic recycling and composting.
Speaker 6: This is the Navy, Navy, and so you got to say, well,
Speaker 6: how does this help navy readiness? You know, it's just lay.
Speaker 6: And not only the Navy. The Air Force wanted to
Speaker 6: do a sustainable aviation fuel and spend money on that
Speaker 6: for jets, and the Army, in a report called Army
Speaker 6: Climate Strategy Plan of twenty twenty two, called for taking
Speaker 6: all of the battlefield vehicles and making them electric, even
Speaker 6: the tanks.
Speaker 1: And you say an electric tank? Electric tank? Are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? An electric tank?
Speaker 6: And not only that, they were developing battlefield chargers that
Speaker 6: they would carry out there and try and charge these
Speaker 6: these takes now sitting at the battlefield were charging. I mean,
Speaker 6: it's just crazy. But Haigsteth is getting rid of all
Speaker 6: this stuff and just another huge change to to get
Speaker 6: rid of this climate ethic that has in play inflated
Speaker 6: all of our government.
Speaker 1: Now you have some of great stats. EV share was
Speaker 1: at eight percent and twenty twenty three up slightly from
Speaker 1: I'm sorry twenty twenty four, EV sales fell nine percent.
Speaker 1: Without incentivizing and paying Americans through tax credits to buy
Speaker 1: the evs. How much better would we have been if
Speaker 1: we had gone to hybrids, which creates its own energy
Speaker 1: because of the rolling of the tires, and Toyota has
Speaker 1: bet on hybrids and hydrogen instead of this dream of
Speaker 1: a of a of a fossil fuel energy future. How
Speaker 1: much better off would we have been with hybrids. In fact,
Speaker 1: some Toyotas are on their mark with this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, hybrids are growing, they're actually doing better than pure
Speaker 6: plug in evs. But the problem is, you know, the
Speaker 6: United States and Europe they were offering incentives, but only
Speaker 6: for pure plug in electric vehicles that seventy five hundred
Speaker 6: dollars text credit. Europe was doing the same thing. And
Speaker 6: if you had a if you had a combustion engine
Speaker 6: in your car that burned gasoline, even if there's a hybrid,
Speaker 6: it's bad, bad news.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: So again, the climate ideology was taking people away from
Speaker 6: what makes some sense. Just just another bad set of policies.
Speaker 1: And lastly, I've heard you often say, Steve gorm that
Speaker 1: the evs are worse for the environment than regular gasoline
Speaker 1: powered cars. Can you tell the American people why if
Speaker 1: you buy an EV bribed by the government to do it,
Speaker 1: that is a worse ecological decision than a gasoline powered car.
Speaker 6: Well in other ways. You know, the government's been focused
Speaker 6: on getting rid of carbon dioxide emissions, and that really
Speaker 6: doesn't hurt the environment. That's what's crazy. And EV is
Speaker 6: to produce a little bit less of that. But as
Speaker 6: you say they're producing, you need all these metals that
Speaker 6: are mined and developing nations the ore, and then it
Speaker 6: goes to China for processing. So if we switch all
Speaker 6: our cars to evs, then we're dependent on China for
Speaker 6: for all the batteries and for all the metals, and uh,
Speaker 6: that would be not a good thing. And then and
Speaker 6: then you know, we have big areas of land. We
Speaker 6: acquire all this mining, huge amounts of land, and you
Speaker 6: have all this waste for metal production, and so you
Speaker 6: have big pollution issues with EV's as well. Uh, it
Speaker 6: can be not okay, but not in China, not in
Speaker 6: the Democrat Republic of Congo where all these places are
Speaker 6: producing it right now. And now this big trade war
Speaker 6: is just going to shut all that down.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 6: We just have a tremendous world in flux energy wise
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 1: All the liberals that buy the evs and Tesla I
Speaker 1: won't own an EV, but nonetheless I think about the
Speaker 1: thousands of kids on their hands and knees needs in
Speaker 1: the Congo, actually digging for these products that are killing
Speaker 1: and destroying the line the little black kids in the
Speaker 1: Congo to supply the base materials shipped off to China
Speaker 1: to have this battery technology. And you know, I thought
Speaker 1: liberals cared about minority kids. I thought liberals cared about
Speaker 1: especially little black children on their knees in the dark,
Speaker 1: mining these exotic metals. But I guess liberals don't care,
Speaker 1: or the media doesn't cover it. And if the government
Speaker 1: bribes you to purchase these evs, which I think that's
Speaker 1: over with now, that maybe the media at some point
Speaker 1: will cover where these exotic materials come from and the
Speaker 1: cost to the natives living there, working in the dark
Speaker 1: and dying in caves by themselves because evs must have
Speaker 1: these exotic batteries. I've not seen one report anywhere what
Speaker 1: happens in the Congo, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been very, very few. And then the flip side,
Speaker 6: not only the raw materials, but once the battery wears out,
Speaker 6: what do you do with it? Well, you can't recycle
Speaker 6: the thing. We've had like four recycling plants around the
Speaker 6: world that have have ignited and gone up the flames
Speaker 6: over the last two or three years because these batteries
Speaker 6: self ignite. So you have a big problem with all
Speaker 6: these batteries piling up. You put them in landfills. You know,
Speaker 6: that's not such a good idea. It's very expensive to
Speaker 6: get the metals out of them, and then they're fire
Speaker 6: hazards as well. But you know, I think I think
Speaker 6: the world is stepping back from this a little bit
Speaker 6: and we're putting a little bit of brakes on. So
Speaker 6: maybe we're going to get back to some common sense again.
Speaker 1: Well Trump is all about common sense. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: But it's Steve Gorm. You can may reach you. I
Speaker 1: think it's Steve Gorham g O R E H A
Speaker 1: M dot com.
Speaker 2: Is that correct? Get all your books and all the
Speaker 2: information the truth will set us free.
Speaker 6: Y and the copies there by the way in green breakdown,
Speaker 6: there's one hundred and forty colored sidebars. And one of
Speaker 6: one of the funny ones is Britain's advice to stop
Speaker 6: showering to conserve energy, and so they're advising people to
Speaker 6: shower with a friend. But I have all these these
Speaker 6: sidebars in Green Breakdown are that make the book fun
Speaker 6: as well as informative.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Steve, I think a lot of brets
Speaker 1: they have bad teeth, and they stink and the food
Speaker 1: is terrible. Maybe I shouldn't say that, but I think
Speaker 1: two of those things are accurate. But Steve Gorm, once again,
Speaker 1: Steve Gorm dot com, Executive director of the Climate Science Coalition,
Speaker 1: thanks again for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, Markets
Speaker 1: and Fluctuations. Eventually we're gonna end up in pretty good shape,

Speaker 1: Two security guards walked up to come with us. You
Speaker 1: can wear shorts outside the ropes. He had a coach's
Speaker 1: badge on. One of his players was playing in the Masters.
Speaker 1: Okay he was, he qualified, So he went inside the
Speaker 1: rope to give his ASU player a little whisper in
Speaker 1: the air about the takeaway, and two security guards escorted
Speaker 1: him off the grounds. You know, come with me, sir.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I got a badge, sir, come with me.
Speaker 1: They escorted him off the grounds for wearing shorts.
Speaker 2: That means they have to walk back down with magnolia lane.

Speaker 1: retired federal judge. Yeah, not bad. There you go and
Speaker 1: get married to Carol Williams of Channel nine. Nine used
Speaker 1: to stand for news. What about now?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't watched him in a while.
Speaker 1: I watch a moment, I watch everything simultaneously, you know
Speaker 1: that I know. And by the way, the tariffs for
Speaker 1: all nations are off but one, according to the Trumpster
Speaker 1: nine today pause, except China, China, and that one was
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Now it's up two thousands of
Speaker 1: US points.
Speaker 9: So is this like his plan or his poker like
Speaker 9: sit there and all of a sudden like call off
Speaker 9: the tariff.
Speaker 2: Yes, and the stock market goes coom coom, things go.
Speaker 2: It goes back the other way, it goes back the
Speaker 2: other way. I don't know what to tell you. I
Speaker 2: don't either. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: But segment, the Reds can't score, but they win well.
Speaker 2: They won their first series of the year. They could have.
Speaker 9: If they win today and sweep the Giants probably the
Speaker 9: first time since nineteen sixty out.
Speaker 2: There, they'll win. They'll they'll win. They got that.
Speaker 9: They still have a winning record on the road trip. Well,
Speaker 9: and they got the Pirates and the Mariners coming to town.
Speaker 2: Who's playing for the Mariners? Junior? Jay Buhner, Junior's coming back.
Speaker 2: And each your rosa zuki and a.
Speaker 1: Rod let him play. Now they're a bit old. Plus
Speaker 1: Griffy's put on about fifty pounds. I think he can
Speaker 1: still hit with you. Betty could hit with that swing.
Speaker 1: He can't run. Are you concerned about Mount McLean not
Speaker 1: being able to play baseball?
Speaker 9: I don't know, Willie, I don't know what the deal is.
Speaker 9: It's was his shoulder last year. Now what's the deal
Speaker 9: with all these hamstrings?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I I don't know what to say.
Speaker 9: I mean, everybody, every you know, I mean, Jake Frayley's
Speaker 9: out there with a bad left side. I mean, I
Speaker 9: guess he's got to play.
Speaker 2: Marte. We got Marte, we have bench.
Speaker 9: Well, you got Austin Hayes coming back, you know. I mean,
Speaker 9: I don't know, but McLean, McLean ought to go out
Speaker 9: there and bubble Wrap.
Speaker 2: Don't hurt himself any more. I don't know Nick Sanzel,
Speaker 2: who might still be playing somewhere. Is he but he
Speaker 2: just can't stay healthy.
Speaker 9: He's in Mexico. He's in Mexico. Yeah, I didn't know that. Well,
Speaker 9: I know, we have nothing but issues everywhere I look.
Speaker 9: I have nothing but promise.
Speaker 2: Oh I know.
Speaker 9: But if the Red Legs win, I mean, if they sweep,
Speaker 9: hopefully they keep that momentum going because they got a
Speaker 9: day off tomorrow, and then the Pirates roll into town.
Speaker 9: Think they should be able to take at least two
Speaker 9: out of three or maybe sweep them.
Speaker 1: Then Seattle in Seattle, let's get to May first with
Speaker 1: their winning record. Is that possible? So far, so good?
Speaker 1: Let's go there five and seven? Well, win station seven
Speaker 1: and win two out of three, eight and eight. Now
Speaker 1: they march for glory and for some the judgment Seat
Speaker 1: of God segment, Get me out of the Stuge report? Please,
Speaker 1: by the way, we're early today two forty five pregame
Speaker 1: and more segment, Get me out of Stoge report?
Speaker 9: Will you a hotter of a beautiful day here at
Speaker 9: a tri state and the Trumpster I'm causing tariffs, We
Speaker 9: leave you with the immortal words.
Speaker 2: Of the stood tripport. Dave has nothing.
Speaker 1: Dave has nothing on seven hundred WLW My Billy cunning
Speaker 1: in the Great American Reds Baseball picks up in about
Speaker 1: forty minutes or so live from San Francisco and then
Speaker 1: off tomorrow, back at it for three big games here
Speaker 1: over the weekend, then Seattle so much more, and we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens down the road. But in the last
Speaker 1: thirty minutes, raising tariffs on China to one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five percent, issue a nine to day pause on
Speaker 1: some other tariffs. According to media accounts, this is all
Speaker 1: subject to change any minute now. But Trump is winning
Speaker 1: the long game with the tariffs because he's proposing now
Speaker 1: during this ninety days to negotiate a deal a deal
Speaker 1: deal with almost everybody else except China in order to
Speaker 1: isolate them and make them feel as if they're alone
Speaker 1: and make it difficult. The long game is to have
Speaker 1: equal and fair trade with every nation, Canada and Mexico especially,
Speaker 1: but also Europe those think generally alike, along with South
Speaker 1: Korea and Philippines and Japan, et cetera. But China is
Speaker 1: a different, different, animal completely. So he's gone from one
Speaker 1: hundred and eight percent to one hundred and twenty five percent.
Speaker 1: Nine to day palls to negotiate deal deals with all
Speaker 1: the others involved, all the other one hundred and ten countries,
Speaker 1: to see where we go from there, and the Trumpster said,
Speaker 1: quote based on the lack of respect that China has
Speaker 1: shown to the world markets, I'm hereby raising the tariff
Speaker 1: charge to China by the US to one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five percent, effective immediately, which means immediately six o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1: At some point, hopefully in their future, China will recognize
Speaker 1: that the days are ripping off America and other countries
Speaker 1: no longer sustainable. And so we have a serious negotiation
Speaker 1: going on with one of the great negotiators of all time,
Speaker 1: not being Donald Trump, in order to find a way
Speaker 1: that we can have fair and equal trade, which has
Speaker 1: not been so for a very very long time, as
Speaker 1: we defend the world against risks, whether it was China
Speaker 1: or whether it was Japan or Germany. Right now it's China,
Speaker 1: or whether it was Nazi Germany, or whether it was
Speaker 1: the Japanese Empire through the thirties and forties, whether the
Speaker 1: world's policemen. We don't charge for that. In fact, it
Speaker 1: costs us money. And at this point, if Russia and
Speaker 1: or China and Almas terrorists are the threat to humanity
Speaker 1: to mankind, then the policemen need to be paid, and
Speaker 1: that policeman is us, and somehow we have to get
Speaker 1: our financial house in order. When I speak to my friends,
Speaker 1: including Congressman Thomas Massey in the House, there's going to
Speaker 1: be one hell of a negotiation soon, in which originally
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson said we'll have the bill out of the
Speaker 1: House to correct things on the taxing front and deficit
Speaker 1: within one hundred days. Now it's by August. Because there's
Speaker 1: ten to twenty in the House that believe, like you
Speaker 1: and I may believe, we can't live on borrow time.
Speaker 1: We cannot keep borrowing six billion dollars every day of
Speaker 1: new money about two trillion dollars a year and sustain
Speaker 1: that for any period of time.
Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: We're slowly eating our own It's like eating a hamstring
Speaker 1: thinking I'll have food in my belly. Then eventually you're
Speaker 1: left with nobody. And that's kind of where we are now.
Speaker 1: So is Trump playing the long game. Is the market
Speaker 1: going to listen and at this point we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: But if you're communist read China, you certainly are interested
Speaker 1: in the fact that Donald Trump is going to play
Speaker 1: the long game, etc. And maybe do what's right for
Speaker 1: the American people. So once again, the big news is
Speaker 1: the markets are up about seven percent or so, and
Speaker 1: as a consequence, the tariffs are temporarily called off until
Speaker 1: further notice. Secondly, we have a situation.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you some facts and figures. You know,
Speaker 1: I like to think my opinions are grounded in facts,
Speaker 1: and that is the US economy. It is about thirty
Speaker 1: trillion dollars GDP thirty trillion. You take Canada and Mexico together,
Speaker 1: and that thirty trillion is about twenty seven percent of
Speaker 1: the world's economy. Seventy three percent is not the American economy.
Speaker 1: Canada has a two point five trillion dollar GDP Canada
Speaker 1: two point five, Mexico one point five together, that equals
Speaker 1: four trillion dollars, which my simple deal Park Matt tells
Speaker 1: me is together those two countries are fifteen percent of
Speaker 1: our economy. So the gorilla in the cage can set
Speaker 1: the rules, and that gorilla is the United States of America.
Speaker 1: He can get Canada and Mexico to do a most
Speaker 1: anything in time, because we can crash, especially the Canadian
Speaker 1: economy or the Mexican economy at will, and we don't
Speaker 1: want to do that. It's the wrong thing to do.
Speaker 1: So put on top of that, the EU take all
Speaker 1: twenty seven nations of the EU twenty seven of them,
Speaker 1: including England, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Sweden, twenty
Speaker 1: seven nations. Total EU is seventeen trillion. So you take
Speaker 1: the EU, Canada, and Mexico together, that's twenty one that's
Speaker 1: about seventy percent of the US economy all put together.
Speaker 1: Leaving to the side if you throw let's throw Russia
Speaker 1: in there too, at two point two trillion. That means
Speaker 1: the total outside of China is about two thirds of
Speaker 1: the world economy. Is the United States, Canada, Mexico, EU, Russia,
Speaker 1: which which is outside right now, there's no sanctions on
Speaker 1: them because they're completely sanctioned. We don't trade with them
Speaker 1: at all. Put them all together, it's two thirds of
Speaker 1: the world economy standing alone. Is China and so if
Speaker 1: China hooks up with the EU and with Russia, which
Speaker 1: they've done already Canada and Mexico, they would have a chunk.
Speaker 1: They'd have more of the world's economy than we have.
Speaker 1: Take EU and China, that's about thirty five trillion. To
Speaker 1: throw in some other the Russia, you're close to forty
Speaker 1: trillion dollars, much greater than the American economy. But these
Speaker 1: other nations do not want to hook up with communists.
Speaker 1: Communists right China, they are a pariya. So the EU
Speaker 1: does not want to hook up with China, Canada and
Speaker 1: Mexico doesn't want hook up with China. Russia does because
Speaker 1: they are another totalitarian regime. Put all that together is
Speaker 1: that we need to have some simple understanding that the
Speaker 1: so called quote free world will go after China to
Speaker 1: stop the Silken Road initiative, et cetera. Throw on top
Speaker 1: of that, the Saudi Arabians, the Emirates, countries like that
Speaker 1: are functional more or less except if you're a woman
Speaker 1: or a Christian, in which case, if you've put that
Speaker 1: on top of it and isolate China, China is in
Speaker 1: deep trouble, which they're in trouble anyway, because they have
Speaker 1: a terrible multi trillion dollar failure in the real estate market.
Speaker 1: They produce little or no natural products of their own.
Speaker 1: They import eighty percent of their oil and import eighty
Speaker 1: percent of their raw materials. It is not a great
Speaker 1: country when it comes to those issues. And so if
Speaker 1: the world got together and stayed, is won. And Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's making the world think, you know right now you
Speaker 1: better stick. Yeah, it's a time for choosing. You're with
Speaker 1: us in freedom and the democratic nations in the world
Speaker 1: more or less, or you're with the communist red Chinese
Speaker 1: who kill their own citizens Willie Nilly, put wigers in
Speaker 1: concentration camps, killed Christians and Jews and have no human
Speaker 1: or constitutional rights whatsoever in China. Most of these countries
Speaker 1: want to play ball with us, but you have to
Speaker 1: make them think you have somebody in charge that's going
Speaker 1: to hurt your own hurt the Canadian or Mexican economy.
Speaker 1: You got to have that involved otherwise you can't get
Speaker 1: a deal.
Speaker 2: Deal.
Speaker 1: So the Donald said, yesterday, just trust me, I got this.
Speaker 1: He knows what he's doing. So now the markets are
Speaker 1: up about seven percent total, and which is pretty good,
Speaker 1: but my gosh, are their difficulties out there, because if
Speaker 1: China and Xi Xiaoping doesn't strike a deal with America,
Speaker 1: which appears less and less likely, it's going to happen
Speaker 1: that we get chunks of our economy from China. And
Speaker 1: when China imposes on America about an eighty seven percent tariff,
Speaker 1: ultimately you're going to pay for that. Whether it's not
Speaker 1: so much automobiles, but almost everything else. It's hard to
Speaker 1: find a product not made in China. So yes, they
Speaker 1: can hurt us. Secondly, they've put malware and all of
Speaker 1: our electrical systems and water systems and computers all over
Speaker 1: this country. They can crash computer systems in great hospitals
Speaker 1: like the Cleveland Clinic or the Mayo Clinic. They can
Speaker 1: do those things. They've been planning this for a long time.
Speaker 1: And so and also there's a factor out there in
Speaker 1: the back of your mind. I know you're not thinking
Speaker 1: about this at the present time, but China wants to
Speaker 1: encircle and cut off Taiwan from the rest of the
Speaker 1: world that they perceive as one of their provinces.
Speaker 2: They shouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: There's no reason Taiwan, which historically has not been a
Speaker 1: part of Maine mainland. China cannot have their own little
Speaker 1: country one hundred and ten miles off off the eastern
Speaker 1: coast of China. But if China would act militarily against Taiwan,
Speaker 1: now we got some serious problems because we get about
Speaker 1: ninety percent of our advanced chips from Taiwan. I know
Speaker 1: the president of Taiwan and the president of their big
Speaker 1: chip maker has said they're going to build a big
Speaker 1: plan in Kansas. That's going to take the next two
Speaker 1: to four years to get it done, and so that's
Speaker 1: going to take a lot of time. So if China
Speaker 1: continues to have economic profound difficulties, and which is about
Speaker 1: thirty percent of their workforce young, educated or unemployed, put
Speaker 1: all that together, they might say, you know what, we
Speaker 1: need to distract the Chinese people from what's happening with
Speaker 1: America by having an external existential threat from Taiwan, in
Speaker 1: which case we will attack and subjugate Taiwan. If it
Speaker 1: takes a thousand years, we're going to do it. Therefore,
Speaker 1: with these things going on, do you like the idea
Speaker 1: that Scott Bessant is the Treasury Secretary? Do you like
Speaker 1: the idea that Jade Vance is the vice president. Do
Speaker 1: you like the idea that Donald Trump is the president
Speaker 1: playing the long game with tariffs and he's hard to predict?
Speaker 1: You know, predictions good and bad. Having a president that
Speaker 1: can't be predicted can be a very good thing. It
Speaker 1: keeps you on your feet, what's he going to do next?
Speaker 1: When you have a Joe Biden in office or a
Speaker 1: Barack Hussein Obama, you're gonna almost predict what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: They're internationalists. They care as much about the middle class
Speaker 1: in China and Russia as to do about our country.
Speaker 1: We finally have, since Ronald Reagan, an American first president
Speaker 1: who cares about you and me and when's things good
Speaker 1: in this country? A lot of these social issues are
Speaker 1: also important. But let's face it, it's not going to
Speaker 1: change the world. What's happening in Colorado with transgender rights,
Speaker 1: an abortion through birth funded by Colorado taxpayers. It's a
Speaker 1: terrible thing. It's killing unborn babies inside it healthy mothers,
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, it is not going to change the economic
Speaker 1: status of this country. Same thing with transgender rights. If
Speaker 1: that's the case in about one third of our states,
Speaker 1: it's not going to economically impact us it. Certainly, it's
Speaker 1: the quality of life issue, it's an ethical issue, it's
Speaker 1: a moral issue. But nonetheless it's not going to change
Speaker 1: America's fiscal health long term. It's important for human beings
Speaker 1: inflicted by this, who may be suffering from a mental
Speaker 1: disease or defect that make them think there's something other
Speaker 1: than what they are. That's a different matter. So I
Speaker 1: may think I'm a twenty five year old male, but
Speaker 1: I won't demand that you treat me as if I'm
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. You know what I'm saying. It's reality.
Speaker 1: Biology is reality. So when someone says, biologically, I'm a male,
Speaker 1: but I want to be identified as a female, I
Speaker 1: can't identify as a twenty five year old male anymore
Speaker 1: any more than a transgender adult can identify something different
Speaker 1: than they are. And please don't ask me, don't require
Speaker 1: me to play into your game, into this subterfugeon in
Speaker 1: this idiocy that someone can change their gender or sex
Speaker 1: by identifying different than what they are. I can't play
Speaker 1: that game. His her, they them, I'm not playing that game.
Speaker 1: I am what I am. Biology is real. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to act as if science doesn't matter. I see
Speaker 1: these silly signs all over town. Science is real. Well,
Speaker 1: biology is real too. I can't identify as a woman,
Speaker 1: and I can't identify something I'm not. I can't identify
Speaker 1: as a black male. I may say I'm a black male,
Speaker 1: that doesn't make it so. And if you have a
Speaker 1: twenty five year old that identifies as a female when
Speaker 1: you're male, you can't identify as a female and be
Speaker 1: a female. You are a male. Don't treat me like
Speaker 1: I can set you. I'm a twenty five year old male,
Speaker 1: Well you're not going to treat me as if I am.
Speaker 1: But there's political advantages for the radical left to have
Speaker 1: this so called civil rights issues percolating because he gives
Speaker 1: them something to do. And secondly, it's well funded by
Speaker 1: many states. So in Colorado or California, for example, if
Speaker 1: you can't afford your transgender surgery, those states require a
Speaker 1: health carrier to provide it and no expense to you.
Speaker 1: That's simply wrong, But that's not going to change the
Speaker 1: physical health of this country. That's up to the people
Speaker 1: of those states where live in a federal system. But
Speaker 1: that's the way you want to play the game there.
Speaker 1: Please play it that way and that's where we are.
Speaker 1: So I'm encouraged by the fact that the president responds
Speaker 1: to markets, which you know he would come on and
Speaker 1: you know he was going to respond in an appropriate way.
Speaker 1: He wants to win, and you know he wants to
Speaker 1: pass on his legacy to Jade Vans or maybe Donald
Speaker 1: Trump Junior at some point to keep this thing going.
Speaker 1: And it's headed in the wrong direction. So I would
Speaker 1: anticipate getting out my crystal ball. As Brian Hammer it
Speaker 1: likes to do that. Over the next ninety days, there'll
Speaker 1: be every week or two there'll be additional deal struck
Speaker 1: with the members of the EU, with the main members
Speaker 1: being Germany, France and England. There'll be some deal struck,
Speaker 1: maybe at the ten percent, because we control their economy
Speaker 1: and they don't control our economy. Pick them off, then
Speaker 1: pick off Mexico and Canada. But Canada cannot be picked
Speaker 1: off for about a month. They've got big elections coming
Speaker 1: up in a month and the Liberal party in charge
Speaker 1: doesn't want to act as if look as if they're
Speaker 1: working with Donald Trump. So they're going to wait about
Speaker 1: thirty days and strike a deal. So by the time
Speaker 1: sixty days go by or so by Memorial Day or
Speaker 1: the fourth of July, interest rates in this country will
Speaker 1: continue to come down. Secondly, there'll be incremental deal struck
Speaker 1: with the rest of the world, from South America to
Speaker 1: the EU, to the Golf Arab States, Muslim States, and
Speaker 1: the Canada and Mexico. They're going to be deal struck,
Speaker 1: further isolating China from the rest of the world. Then
Speaker 1: China will be hopefully standing alone because of the policies
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. At no time since nineteen thirty nine
Speaker 1: or nineteen forty as America faced a threat like China.
Speaker 1: At no point when the USSR was rolling strong, were
Speaker 1: they an economic power, a great military power, not so
Speaker 1: much missile technology. Absolutely, the Polish Army would defeat the
Speaker 1: Russian Army as it is now constituted. Even the patriots
Speaker 1: in the Ukraine are holding the Russian Army at bay,
Speaker 1: which no one thought would ever happen. So China, on
Speaker 1: the other hand, is building a worldwide fleet with nuclear submarines.
Speaker 1: They're building a gigantic military to protect the Silken Road
Speaker 1: procedures they put in effect. And now's the time to
Speaker 1: stop it. And we're well positioned with the right guy
Speaker 1: in charge to stop it through the EU, Central and
Speaker 1: South America, through the Gulf States, and also through Canada
Speaker 1: and Mexico, and we can trade with those individuals as
Speaker 1: much as you want, leaving China alone and destitute, which
Speaker 1: would be a great thing now for the Chinese people,
Speaker 1: who I love and respect, but for the Chinese government
Speaker 1: and damn with their communists. So let's continue with more
Speaker 1: and if a line becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand. Trump was playing the long game. We finally
Speaker 1: have the right president at the right time to do
Speaker 1: it's right for the country long term. Every time we've
Speaker 1: been at risk, whether it was Washington and Jefferson or
Speaker 1: Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt, we had an American president arise
Speaker 1: that God sent himself to guide the free world into
Speaker 1: a better light. And right now we have Donald John Trump.
Speaker 1: He will not be supported by the mainstream media, he
Speaker 1: will not be supported by the Democrats who went chaos
Speaker 1: and in confusion to get power and influence and money.
Speaker 1: But he has I think the heir of the American people.
Speaker 1: That's why Harry Entton of CNN said that if the
Speaker 1: election were held today, Donald Trump would get fifty two
Speaker 1: percent of the vote and Kamala Harris would get but
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent. That's the way it ought to be.
Speaker 1: So let's continue and once again Trump's playing the long game,
Speaker 1: and at this point we're in in the first quarter,
Speaker 1: a long way to go to twenty five Home of
Speaker 1: your Reds and More. News Radio seven hundred w ol
