WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.480 Bill cunning into Great America. Welcome this glorious Friday afternoon. 2 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.439 In the tri State Bengals. Bengals kick it off plus 3 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:14.759 Sunday Key game. Of course, they are here to be 4 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.440 a little bit more healthy except for t Higgins and 5 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.960 the Raiders are in town. They beat the Raiders, beat 6 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.519 the Ravens. On Thursday night of next week. They go 7 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.399 to the break. They're in good shape and they come 8 00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.760 back and maybe, according to Joe Burrow, wins seven of 9 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.199 the next nine games. That means they win those two 10 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:30.920 and they only have to win five of the next seven. 11 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.240 They're in hog Heaven and away we go. But until 12 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.039 then you may not know. The election al is hot 13 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.240 and heavy. Every phrase, every apostrophe is being dissected by 14 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.600 the mainstream media. But one person on the ground, like 15 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.439 Willie Nelson on the road again is Brian Nton of 16 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.920 News Nations starting in New Jersey, ending in California, and 17 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.719 Brian Entton, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Brian, 18 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.679 at this point, can you tell the American people about 19 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.479 a week before you began your journey, what did you 20 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.280 pitch to Sean Compton and up what was your mission 21 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:02.960 when you started this a few weeks back. 22 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.480 My mission was to avoid going to the same political 23 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.319 rallies on both sides over and over again, hearing the 24 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.519 same speeches and talking to the same people. I just 25 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.159 wanted to talk to everyday Americans and get a pulse 26 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:16.959 of what was really. 27 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.040 Going on in the country. 28 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.439 And luckily they let me do it, and you said it. 29 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.040 We started in New Jersey and we drove all the 30 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.280 way across the country. It took us about ten days, 31 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.359 and we shot stories all along the way. We've got 32 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.280 a big special it's gonna era Monday night on the 33 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.120 CW and it's awesome. I mean, it's just it was awesome. 34 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.359 I had never done the cross country trip. I mean 35 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.959 it was beautiful to see all the different parts of 36 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.799 America and talk to people. 37 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.920 Did you spend time in Pennsylvania, which I guess now 38 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.280 is the state of interest And there's a poll out 39 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.200 this morning the head the Trumps drew up about three points, 40 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.680 which I don't believe. I think it's going to be 41 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.159 one or two points. But when you got to Pennsylvania 42 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.000 or so, what did you find, if anything? 43 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.560 Yeah, in Pennsylvania, we focused on black men just because 44 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.519 there have been some issues with the with the polling 45 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:07.799 for Harris and that department. 46 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:08.879 Some surprises there. 47 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.879 We went to a couple of black barbershops and sound 48 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.560 and there was more Trump support than I expected in 49 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.199 those areas. You know, there's been a lot of crime 50 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.719 in those neighborhoods and small businesses that had been broken 51 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.199 into and people are concerned about that, and we found 52 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.360 a lot of Trump support. So the poll you're talking 53 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.599 about doesn't really surprise me. 54 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:31.960 I think it's going to be close. 55 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.840 I mean, after going through all the states, you know, 56 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.080 that's that's I mean, no surprise there, but that's really 57 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.080 that's really the feeling that I get. 58 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.000 And most of the polling in the past have had 59 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.479 the black vote for Democrats above ninety percent. I think 60 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.759 that the high mark was Obama in twenty oh eight. 61 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.120 I think you had ninety three percent of the black vote, 62 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.159 and it was like almost tribalism that if you're black, 63 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.479 you got to vote for the first black president, and 64 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.159 therefore they did. Why doesn't the same principle apply because 65 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.800 Kamala Harris identifies either as African American or Indian. But 66 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.280 was there a sense that's just like Charlemagne, that God 67 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.800 once was told to by Joe Biden, if you don't 68 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:13.800 vote for me, you ain't black man. Was there a 69 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.000 sense that they're a little bit of a rebellion against that, 70 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.319 against the idea that because I'm a black mail, I'm 71 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.280 going to vote for Kamala Harris Or was it gender based, 72 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.080 race based, or policy based. 73 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.599 I think there was a sense that the black community 74 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.520 in some ways feels like they've been taking advantage of 75 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.240 by the Democratic Party, like they're automatically going to get 76 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.400 their vote. And in Philly there were a lot of 77 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.439 people who felt like, you know, the Democrats haven't really 78 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.520 paid attention to their communities, haven't invested in their communities. Again, 79 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.240 crime was a big issue, the same thing with Latito's. 80 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.360 I went through Nevada and we did a whole big 81 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:52.680 series of stories in Nevada, and you know, they've traditionally 82 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.719 voted Democrat over the years, and there's a lot of 83 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.919 changes there, I mean a lot more. 84 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.680 We went back can dug to the voter. 85 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.319 Registration numbers, a lot more switching over to the Republican Party, 86 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.240 saying that you know, they the family values they feel 87 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.560 more in line with. And then you've got people though 88 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.800 it was so interesting. I mean, you've got people who 89 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.759 came to the country legally, you know, or their parents did, 90 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.800 and they're really the Latinas a lot of them are 91 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.199 really mad about what they see at the border, like 92 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.800 they don't like seeing people cross what they call the 93 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:26.399 wrong way. 94 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.040 Going back to the black barbershop where the Trumpster was there, 95 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.600 I think in the Bronx they went to a black 96 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.199 barbershop and then Kamala Harris followed it up with a 97 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.399 trip to another black barbershop. That's kind of the touchstone 98 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.199 of the culture and urban communities, the black male barbershop 99 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.959 where men get together, talk like men, act like men, 100 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.639 hair as men were men, and the women go to 101 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.920 the beauty salon, which is different. But nonetheless, was there 102 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.959 a sense in the black barbershop community that the Trumpster 103 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.800 is more like them than Kamala Harris because he's a male, 104 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.839 or because the policies, or and I think there's a 105 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.639 sense that women feel the direct opposite. If you would 106 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:09.839 have gone into a beauty salon well a whole bunch 107 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.560 of women, I would think it'd be completely the opposite direction. 108 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.879 And nonetheless, the experts, you don't watch all the cable 109 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.040 news shows as I do. I watch News Nation, I 110 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:23.560 watch MSNBC, I watch Fox, I often record CNN, and 111 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.879 all the so called pundits are saying, this is a 112 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:26.399 head fake. 113 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:28.000 It's not going to happen. 114 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.879 When push comes to shove and it's the election, about 115 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.040 half the there's going to be seventy five or eighty 116 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.439 million early votes, which is going to be half the 117 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.199 total it's going to be done. That's a head fake, 118 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.240 and that they really don't mean it, They really don't 119 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.199 mean that. I'm fifteen percent, eighteen percent of black males 120 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:45.879 are going to vote for Donald Trump. 121 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.079 Did your findings refute that notion? 122 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:50.120 I think so. 123 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.360 I mean listening, We went to a couple of barbershops 124 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.839 and I would say it was about fifty fifty in 125 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.879 terms of who people were supporting, and even some of 126 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:08.240 the folks who didn't necessarily like Trump were still leaning 127 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.000 towards voting form again just based on some of the policies. 128 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:13.120 It was interesting. 129 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.480 I hadn't gone back and dug into it, but people have. 130 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.720 I mean, they don't feel like Kamala Harris treated black 131 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.560 men fairly when she was the DA when you know, 132 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.240 when she was the prosecutor in California. I mean, people 133 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.680 feel that way, which I thought. 134 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:29.759 Was interesting that came up. 135 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.600 And you know, Trump was big on, you know, criminal 136 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.560 justice reform and prison reform, which has reverberated to the 137 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.720 through the black community, so I was surprised that some 138 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:42.040 folks had even dug into that. 139 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.000 And in fact, she locked up a whole bunch of 140 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.839 black men who were smoking pot for reasons unclear, because 141 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.199 when she was the DA some twenty twenty three years 142 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.920 ago in San Francisco, there was a sense that marijuana 143 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.680 is a permissible drug. But according to the records, she 144 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.639 went out of her way to cite and lock up 145 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.600 if required, black males who maybe in San Francisco disproportionately 146 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.120 use marijuana. And now she pictures herself as somewhat different, 147 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.800 and that anger in fact that at one point during 148 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:19.199 the twenty nineteen debates, I recall Tulsey Gabbert, who was 149 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.399 a Democrat at the time, taking her to task for 150 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.519 locking up over one thousand black men in San Francisco 151 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:30.120 on minor drug charges, which by twenty nineteen was you 152 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.800 don't do that in the city of Cincinnati. You can 153 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.519 smoke pot openly in Washington Park and downtown Cincinnati. It's 154 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.680 no big deal, even though you shouldn't do it, because 155 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.360 the police chief tells the men and women in blue 156 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.680 don't give people citations for that. So it appears that 157 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.079 she went out of her way in San Francisco to 158 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.040 lock up black men for minor use of drug offense. 159 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.800 These aren't the dealers. These are guys walking around. And 160 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:02.240 is that feeling when you presented that questions in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Wyoming, 161 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.560 all the way across, was that the same feeling you 162 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.399 got that she said one thing and did another. 163 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.279 I think people are having a hard time figuring out 164 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:14.560 exactly who she is. And in Pennsylvania, just back to Pennsylvania. 165 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.519 You go to these swing states, Bill, and they're inundated 166 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:18.360 with ads. 167 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:19.160 You don't I mean, you. 168 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.160 Used to be in a swing statement in Ohio, but 169 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.519 you don't realize until you're in the hotel room in 170 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.480 Pennsylvania or in North Carolina or. 171 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.120 Nevada, that you know. 172 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.040 These who live there. It's like they're living and breathing 173 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.039 this all day. They turn on the TV, that's all 174 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.360 the time. The text message is non stop, the phone called, 175 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.200 the signs are everywhere. The billboards are everywhere, Like unless 176 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.360 you're there, you don't feel that. And there were a 177 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.360 lot of ads in Pennsylvania about her record in California 178 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:47.519 when it came to some of the things you were 179 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.240 talking about and the prosecution, So yeah, it was it was, 180 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.000 it came up. I didn't hear it as much in 181 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.840 other states. There were some other issues that, you know. 182 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:57.440 We went out to Michigan. It was kind of more 183 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.360 about the economy there. I talked to a lot of 184 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:04.080 African Americans there that worked at the car manufacturing plants 185 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:08.519 who were excited by the idea of the first black 186 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:12.080 female president. But again went, well, my paycheck was bigger 187 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.480 under Trump, and you know, I need the money right now, 188 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.360 can't afford the groceries. So that that was interesting, and yeah, 189 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:21.919 we just kind of worked our way across it, and 190 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.320 we did. We did latinos in Nevada. What struck me 191 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.000 the most, kind of focusing, like thinking about now that 192 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.279 it's over, is like you mentioned, you watch a lot 193 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.039 of cable news, You watch thems NBC, you watch Fox. 194 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.679 They make you think that everybody hates. 195 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:35.399 Each other like that. 196 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.840 It's just that nobody gets along, Nobody and that's. 197 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.440 Really not the truth. I mean, like when we're in 198 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.279 the barbershops, half the people are Republican, havel are Democrat, 199 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.399 and they all like laugh with each other. 200 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.759 And it was the same for the most part everywhere 201 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:51.159 we went. 202 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.120 Uh So, I think, in like real American towns and cities, like, 203 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.600 it's not as divisive as they make it out to be. 204 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.080 I don't think absolutely, I have believe it or not. 205 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.799 I have friends that are liberals. I have friends who 206 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.960 think abortion is a sacrament. I have friends who think 207 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.679 it's the killing of unborn, healthy babies. And we getting 208 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:12.960 long fine, except I know how they're going to vote, 209 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.559 and I try to persuade them a little bit, but 210 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.519 at some point it's like, forget about it. I'm still 211 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.399 friends with Democrats. I like Democrats. They're people too. I mean, 212 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.519 Tony Bender is the kind of guy. He's a liberal 213 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.159 Democrat from Boone County. He believes in the agenda of liberalism. 214 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.480 But he's still my friend. I still like him. But 215 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.600 if you watch MSNBC, then watch Breitbart or Fox News, 216 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.039 my god, you would think we're at each other throats. 217 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.960 This is the most important election in American history. We 218 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:44.039 either become fascist or become a nation of he, she, 219 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.720 and seventy four different pronouns. 220 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:47.799 You have to go one way or not. 221 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.080 In reality, you can walk into a black barbershop and 222 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.879 I'd say, Brian Innton, maybe you weren't around as a 223 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.399 reporter in the eight when Obama ran, but that same 224 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:02.480 barbershop and eight would have been for Barack Husain Obama 225 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.159 and right now that's not the case. 226 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:05.080 Is that fair to say? 227 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.679 That's totally fair to say, one hundred percent. And I 228 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.039 think that's another way that people get tricked a little 229 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.279 is they don't always portray. 230 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:15.799 That on the news. 231 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.000 They that these minorities that there's a lot of them 232 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.000 who support Trump or who are thinking about it, or 233 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.600 who don't really believe that he's the bad guy that 234 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.559 they try to make him out to be. That's the 235 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:29.759 sense that I got all across the country. 236 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:30.919 Great of where there people who. 237 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.120 Really don't like him, Yes, but there were a lot 238 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.440 more people in the middle that weren't buying into you know, 239 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.600 like for example, we were on the road, you know, 240 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.399 when all this stuff came down about the Hitler remarks 241 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.399 and the comment about oh, I can't remember exactly what 242 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.200 was said, but oh, he wants generals like Hitler and 243 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.679 so Leland, you know. On news Nation, one of the 244 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.799 anglers said, hey, Brian, like, why don't you start asking 245 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.279 people about this? I'm curious what they think. And most 246 00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:59.360 people just were kind of like, well, did he really 247 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.200 say it that way? I don't know that I really 248 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.519 believe the context. I don't think you really meant it 249 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:05.200 that way. But if you turn on the news there, 250 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.720 like everybody thinks he's Hitler right. 251 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:09.919 In Michigan. 252 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.320 Michigan's another key state on the economy. The head of 253 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.840 the OAW is a left right I think his name 254 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:19.039 is Fane or something like that, endorsing completely Kamala Harris. 255 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.480 On the other hand, the rank and file feel differently 256 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:25.759 because they understand that the government mandates with EVS means 257 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.480 EV's going to be going to be put together in Mexico. 258 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:31.559 They're not going to be put together in Michigan. And 259 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.399 so the rank and file feel differently than the leadership 260 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:35.759 with the team shirts, et cetera. 261 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.679 Did the placement of. 262 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.320 The so called paroles from Cuba and from Haiti and 263 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:47.120 from Venezuela, did they anyone bring up on the road 264 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:51.799 again about the the serious influx of so called paroles 265 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.840 in a small town America was out of factor. 266 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.440 That was a factor the border came up again and 267 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.279 again and again. It was interesting that it was with 268 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.720 Latinos a lot who are mad to see it happening, 269 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.879 where I think some people think they be the ones like, 270 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.120 oh yeah, I and granted we did here. We don't 271 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.279 like the rhetoric that they're all criminals and that makes 272 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.840 them feel bad. But they also don't think that people 273 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.000 should just be able to walk in. 274 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:17.279 But it's interesting you. 275 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.200 Talk about the auto workers and the unions. A lot 276 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.320 of the auto workers were mad, Like you watch the 277 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.559 news and you think that all the auto walk workers 278 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.240 are Democrats. They don't like to take a vote when 279 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.759 they decide to endorse Harris, like there was like a 280 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.360 voter or anything like that, which I just assumed, like 281 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.559 they must have done some kind of poll or something 282 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.840 and that's how they decide who the endorsements going to go. 283 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.879 Do that doesn't happen, so a lot of the workers 284 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.960 feel like underrepresented that. But then you know, on the 285 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:48.639 other side, so we talked to a lot of Trump 286 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.200 supporter auto workers, but there were some that said, look 287 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.519 if it wasn't for the bailouts, and we heard this 288 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.759 a lot. If it wasn't for the bailouts after the 289 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.919 you know, the recession in two thousand and eight, where 290 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.039 you know where they saved all these auto companies Obama, 291 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.559 a lot of these people felt like they wouldn't have jobs. 292 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.919 So they almost feel like they have to vote Democrat now, 293 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:13.120 like they have this sort of allegiance to the party, 294 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:14.000 which was interesting. 295 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.519 And lastly, the teamsters, they had to vote of the 296 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.679 rank and file, it was like sixty percent teamsters for Trump, 297 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.960 but the leadership said, wow, that's not enough. Wow, after all, 298 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.120 we have a division here. We're not going to endorse Trump, 299 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.919 but the truckers do. I thought sixty percent was a 300 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.399 low number. Lastly, in Nevada, which is a key state. 301 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.399 Most of the polling now has the trump Ster up 302 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.080 in Arizona by a little bit more than Nevada, just badly. 303 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.639 And I would have thought in the culinary unions, which 304 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.360 has thousands of members, they vote in lockstep. Did you 305 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.559 have a sense this time they're not going to vote 306 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:48.879 in lockstep for the Democrat. 307 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:50.879 Yeah. 308 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:53.120 Again, I think it goes back to similar. 309 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.960 With the with the black vote. I think they feel 310 00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.759 like they try to put them all into one box 311 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.399 and that they you know, I think people are over that. 312 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:04.039 I think that they it's it's not I think they're 313 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.519 offended by it. You know, they get offended that everybody 314 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.159 thinks that they're one way or the other. And you know, 315 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.200 a lot of the Latinos we spoke to like Trump 316 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.600 so and also the numbers show that in terms of 317 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.480 the voter registrations ahead of the election, there were a 318 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.519 lots switching over to the Republican Party. 319 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.559 So it's going to be interesting to see what happens 320 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:26.120 in Nevada. 321 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.159 We went through Utah, which was beautiful after we uh, 322 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.519 after we left Vegas. I don't think you ever been 323 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.440 to Zion. That was all I mean, that's that's a 324 00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:38.600 red state. But it was just interesting to drive through. 325 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.039 And then we ended in California, which everybody thinks California, 326 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:43.799 you know, yeah, it's just a big bluestate. WI is 327 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.960 it interesting politically, But there were some interesting political storylines 328 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:50.600 there too. Bill. You know, they've they've switched for House 329 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.039 seats read since twenty twenty. They're one of the reasons 330 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:56.120 that that the House is read them in New York 331 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.360 and the Asian community there is switching over to the 332 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.440 Republican already like crazy, which no one really focuses on. 333 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:03.440 We did a story on that. 334 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.679 You know, they're they're transferring over and droves upset about crime. 335 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.080 I mean, we were in San Francisco. It's it's crazy, 336 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.200 what's happening there, bill in such a beautiful city. 337 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.879 It's it's almost destroyed. In fact, aren't downtown businesses closed? 338 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:21.080 Office buildings are empty. Fishermen's Wharf doesn't exist anymore. There's 339 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.360 a hollywoing out of that city. Is that fair to say? 340 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.159 I mean, I will say it kind of reminds you 341 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.039 what you always hear about Chicago. You go there and 342 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.759 it is still a beautiful city, and I was. I've 343 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.200 been there the last couple of days. I think some 344 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:34.919 of it gets a little overhyped. 345 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:35.480 It was. 346 00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:37.919 Honestly, in some areas it wasn't as bad as I expected, 347 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.639 But in other areas, yes, there's an open air drug market. 348 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:44.399 The weirdest thing though, my photographer were crossing the street 349 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.799 and we accidentally jay walked and there was police officers 350 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.080 that like kind of got on to us about it, and. 351 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.600 There was a guy smoking mess right on the corner. 352 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:55.840 And that's okay, you know, but like you get taught. 353 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.399 It just it just hit me in that moment, like, wait, 354 00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:00.559 we just got a talking to for j walking and 355 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.400 the guy's smoking mess. And then there was this other 356 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.240 thing that kind of hit me, like there's cars, the 357 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:09.440 cars that are parked on the street, they have little 358 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.279 signs in the window that they've printed out on their computer, 359 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.279 nothing valuable inside, and they hang the sign on each 360 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.799 door on each side of their car because that's what 361 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:22.519 they have to do so that no one breaks in 362 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.880 or people will leave their windows open. I just like 363 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:26.920 I couldn't believe that. 364 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.519 Well, it's the way things are. And Cincinnati, we've had 365 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.119 so many car break ins. I've seen many signs hung 366 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.319 in windows, no valuables, and I tell people, don't lock 367 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.279 your doors, leave nothing of value inside. We've had hundreds 368 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:44.640 of break ins of car windows looking for guns and 369 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.400 money and whatever. And the best thing to do is 370 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:50.000 do not lock the doors and leave nothing of value, 371 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.799 in which case that's your best chance of not having 372 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.519 a thousand dollars bill for a car window. It's everywhere 373 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:58.759 in America today. Well, once again, Brian then You've been fabulous. 374 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.400 Thank you, Bill, Continue with more there it is. Things 375 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.079 are better than you think. It's not going to be 376 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:05.720 a civil war. The Earth's not going to quit spinning 377 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:09.319 on his axis. If Kamala Harris's wins, it's just going 378 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.160 to be part of the world's going to be disrupted. 379 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.440 We're all going to look like San Francisco in the wharf. 380 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.640 Let's continue, Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WLW. 381 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.319 Big Dave Keaton coming up after one o'clock today. We'll 382 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:21.319 be Sheriff Richard K. 383 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:21.920 Jones. 384 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.000 I saw a troubling video of him last night dancing 385 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.359 in the Butler County jail of the tune of YMCA 386 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:32.200 and that little Trump dance going on. I want to 387 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.759 talk to him about that. He's also one of the 388 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:40.640 seventeen electors who actually vote in the Capitol for Donald Trump, 389 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.720 assuming Trump wins the state of Ohio, which is more 390 00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.880 than likely. And break it down a little bit for you. 391 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:52.319 There's five hundred and thirty eight electors that represent the 392 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.279 four hundred and thirty five House of Representative seats one 393 00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.720 hundred senators plus three other specials for five thirty eight, 394 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:06.039 and Ohio has seventeen electors because we have fifteen congressional 395 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:10.279 districts which are approximately nine hundred thousand each, plus of 396 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.880 course we have two US Senators. And so the reason 397 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.640 that California has fifty five electors is because they have 398 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.759 fifty three congressional districts and they have two US Senators. 399 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.039 That's how you get that number. Ohio used to be 400 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.519 in about twenty one or twenty two. We're down to seventeen. 401 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.039
