Speaker 1: Leonard Cohen, Ali Lua, Garry Underwood, Jesus take the wheels
Speaker 1: are the songs that came to mind, Joon and you
Speaker 1: and I Now is a share of the Republican.
Speaker 2: Party living in glory.
Speaker 1: Somewhere between here and Columbus and Cleveland is Alex Trent
Speaker 1: to FEELU and Alex here it is Wednesday afternoon. We
Speaker 1: were together yesterday. You had told me off the air,
Speaker 1: you know what I need some time off. I'm going
Speaker 1: to go somewhere because I'm working sixteen eighteen hour days.
Speaker 1: You have a staff of a couple hundred. You're involved
Speaker 1: in all the campaigns, the big ones that curse for
Speaker 1: the three Supreme Court justices. By the way, I've not
Speaker 1: heard from Justice Joe more than six times today. So
Speaker 1: the seventh call was too much for me. And an
Speaker 1: Issue one was going down the tubes. All the experts
Speaker 1: said there's no chance Issue one it's going to pass.
Speaker 1: And then you also had Bernie Marino. So how does
Speaker 1: the chair of the Republican Party this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Well, Billy, the chair feels wonderful today to be candid
Speaker 3: and to be serious for a minute. I'm grateful for Ohio.
Speaker 3: I'm grateful for Ohioans and their choices. Billy. You know,
Speaker 3: the country was headed in the wrong direction. It was
Speaker 3: just headed their own direction. We've watched this for.
Speaker 2: A long time.
Speaker 3: The Democrats have left the mainstream of American politics. And
Speaker 3: if the press were serious and honest today, they would
Speaker 3: report the collapse of the Democratic Party. I mean, they
Speaker 3: love to hate Donald Trump, but they never look in
Speaker 3: the mirror and say, why is Donald Trump beating us?
Speaker 3: Why is this happening? Because they don't talk about the
Speaker 3: kitchen table issues that matter to Americans and specifically to Ohio.
Speaker 3: And so I'm tired today, Billy, But I got to
Speaker 3: tell you I have not been more professionally satisfied in
Speaker 3: my life. We won everything in Ohio last night. We
Speaker 3: want everything to matter. We won Bernie Marino, we won
Speaker 3: Issue one, We won three contested Supreme Court races. You know,
Speaker 3: we held our own across the state, from really from
Speaker 3: one part of Ohio to the next. County after county,
Speaker 3: the winds just keep rolling in. And you know, it's
Speaker 3: the feeling you get after working hard and seeing a
Speaker 3: very positive result in Ohio.
Speaker 1: You know, I like the Democrats toqu if they can. Hey,
Speaker 1: George Clooney, You and Matt Damon, we need you. And
Speaker 1: then Beyonce, could you sing a little freedom force?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 2: Beyonce preach to us.
Speaker 1: And then you got Oprah telling us all about income
Speaker 1: inequality on our island and Oprah and then how about
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. Let's get Bill Clinton. We're talking about women's rights.
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton is an expert on women's rights and their
Speaker 1: role in society.
Speaker 2: And what about Obama.
Speaker 1: Let's get Michelle, Let's get Barack, get them out of retirement.
Speaker 1: Come here and jayse yell the black guys who don't
Speaker 1: understand all the great things that Obama's and the Clintons
Speaker 1: and the Oprahs have done for them. According to polling,
Speaker 1: about twenty five percent of black men I guess they're
Speaker 1: racist too, voted for Donald Trump and black I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Hispanic males are above fifty per voting for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Why did that happen?
Speaker 3: Well, it happened because of the things I just mentioned,
Speaker 3: and that is that we as Republicans under Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: have been talking about things that matter to regular people.
Speaker 3: When Donald Trump says drill, baby, drill, he's saying I'm
Speaker 3: going to make the cost of energy cheaper by tapping
Speaker 3: into American energy resources. And when I do that, your
Speaker 3: groceries will cost less because the diesel truck that delivers
Speaker 3: the groceries to your store will get there cheaper. The
Speaker 3: car that you drive will be cheaper to get you
Speaker 3: to work. Everything will be better because we're talking about
Speaker 3: those kinds of things. What did they do, Billy. They
Speaker 3: spent the entire campaign demonizing a person who had been
Speaker 3: but twice before We've gotten over seventy million votes of
Speaker 3: the American people. You can't keep calling him a threat
Speaker 3: to democracy in the Nazi and in indicting him on
Speaker 3: these garbage state level charges in New York where you
Speaker 3: get these rogue prosecutors at the local level trying to
Speaker 3: bring this man down, a man who has supportive over
Speaker 3: eighty million people. It finally just caught up to the
Speaker 3: Democratic Party. What the Democratic Party should do and what
Speaker 3: the press should tell the American people this morning, is
Speaker 3: that that party is no longer in the mainstream of
Speaker 3: American politics. So we win because they don't talk about
Speaker 3: regular issues. That's what's going on right now.
Speaker 1: State issue won, which was making sure that Ohio wins
Speaker 1: could not vote anymore for the members of the Reapportionment Board.
Speaker 1: It was put together by tens of I think sixty
Speaker 1: million dollars or more from out of state money came in.
Speaker 1: They brought out a retirement a liberal, retired Supreme Court
Speaker 1: justice named Marine O'Connor, who issued a crappy statement this morning.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it, but she essentially
Speaker 1: said the Ohioans were stupid, they didn't know what they
Speaker 1: were voting for, and that they were confused they didn't
Speaker 1: understand the issue. Whenever you don't agree with the liberals,
Speaker 1: they say, well you're confused and you're stupid. Know your role,
Speaker 1: shut your mouth and sit down. The polling on State
Speaker 1: Issue one a month or two ago, you told me,
Speaker 1: others told me, hey, this is going to pass. Every
Speaker 1: time I talk to someone in the note, they said, well,
Speaker 1: it's going to pass. Why did it fail and fail
Speaker 1: so miserably?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, in the history you related to accurate. And
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that the very first polling that I
Speaker 3: saw had us down fourty percentage points. You know, Billy,
Speaker 3: I've been involved in politics for twenty five years. This
Speaker 3: is probably among the most satisfying victories I've been a
Speaker 3: small part of.
Speaker 2: And I have a small part of this.
Speaker 3: We had a lot of people come together in Ohio
Speaker 3: to make this happen. My predecessor, Bob Paduciic, Matt Hoffman,
Speaker 3: our State Centate present, a lot of us works together.
Speaker 3: Why did this thing finally fail because we educated Ohioans
Speaker 3: Issue one was a scam and a lie and really
Speaker 3: and the press is really complicit here. And you know,
Speaker 3: I know you didn't ask about them, Billy, but it's
Speaker 3: important that the press, and I hope members of the
Speaker 3: press are listening to this. They need to look in
Speaker 3: the mirror. They did not tell Ohioan's the truth. Had
Speaker 3: you passed Issue one, as an Ohio voter, you would
Speaker 3: have stripped your health of the ability to elect or
Speaker 3: unelect the people that do important public business. Billy. Had
Speaker 3: any Republican organization, any right wing money group come in
Speaker 3: and said we're going to strip you of the ability
Speaker 3: to vote for people that do public business. The press
Speaker 3: what had lost its collective mind? That didn't happen. They
Speaker 3: didn't tell the truth. They tried to sell it as
Speaker 3: some citizen initiative. It wasn't so the left wing power grab.
Speaker 3: Once Ohioan's understood it and frankly, once Donald Trump said no,
Speaker 3: the hire Republican Party said no. Bill Cunningham said no.
Speaker 3: All the important people, Billy, they said no.
Speaker 2: And they figured it out.
Speaker 1: And I don't know the rate of spending on one
Speaker 1: side had to be close to one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: Every time I looked up that there was an old, retired,
Speaker 1: broken down Judge Marine O'Connor telling us that the politicians
Speaker 1: are ruining the states and that the citizens are arising.
Speaker 2: Just the opposite was true. Whatever they're doing.
Speaker 1: They accused the other side of engaging in their behavior
Speaker 1: when they talked about law fair against Democrats, but they've
Speaker 1: already done that, and so when they talked about the
Speaker 1: politicians in Columbus, it is they. It is they or
Speaker 1: the problem, and there's no way to even recognize it.
Speaker 1: When I read the statement of retired Judge Marine O'Connor,
Speaker 1: it was taking the American people to task for not
Speaker 1: understanding what great things she's done for the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: I dare you to confront me on the battlefield of
Speaker 1: ideas about the states you want. You don't have the
Speaker 1: right to vote. I'm taking it away. In the Inquirer,
Speaker 1: a part of course of USA today and connect they're
Speaker 1: in there talking about how this is a citizens initiative,
Speaker 1: the citizens. The bowels from the polyps of the state
Speaker 1: of Ohio arose and said, we can't take it anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't want to vote. Please take away my right
Speaker 1: to vote and give it on to retired judges to
Speaker 1: decide for me who I get to vote for. Why
Speaker 1: wasn't it framed that way, Alex T Now you're getting
Speaker 1: me all pissed off.
Speaker 2: Explain that to me.
Speaker 3: I always do that, Billy, I always do it. I
Speaker 3: don't mean to listen. I mean, you've said it exactly right.
Speaker 3: This thing was a bill of goods for Ohio. It
Speaker 3: was a terrible idea. You know, this was not citizen
Speaker 3: lad This was thirty five million dollars in counting of
Speaker 3: out of state special interest money. You know, Billy, I
Speaker 3: said it last night in front of our four hundred
Speaker 3: people that were gathered at our party. You know, this
Speaker 3: is basically, you know, us telling the out of state
Speaker 3: people San Francisco sent money to this. New York set
Speaker 3: money to this Washington, DC, and out of state bill
Speaker 3: and out of the country billionaire setting money to this
Speaker 3: from Europe. You know this was not going to happen
Speaker 3: in Ohio. It's bad policy. Look, we can always improve government.
Speaker 3: This was not the kind of improvement we need.
Speaker 2: They failed.
Speaker 3: And one more thing, Billy, you said that Marin O'Connor
Speaker 3: put out a statement essentially telling us that we're stupid.
Speaker 3: That's what the left does in America. They underestimate the
Speaker 3: voting public. The press is complicit in this. They all
Speaker 3: think that Donald Trump keeps winning because we're all stupid.
Speaker 3: I've got news for you. It's not that way. That
Speaker 3: we're smart and we're running things. Now. We've won power
Speaker 3: and we control everything in Ohio. And they better start
Speaker 3: to come back to the center of American politics where
Speaker 3: the Democrats are going to go, you know, the way
Speaker 3: of the Whig Party. So they better be very very careful.
Speaker 1: Lastly, on the issue of an agenda, I think the
Speaker 1: House of Representatives is going to go Republican. The Senate
Speaker 1: likely is going to be fit. Right now, MSNBC says
Speaker 1: fifty two, as that means it's fifty four or fifty five.
Speaker 1: With great power goes great responsibility. And I can only
Speaker 1: imagine that the shoe was on the other foot. And
Speaker 1: if Washington was now for the next forty eight years,
Speaker 1: continuing to be under the control of the Democrats, what
Speaker 1: this country would look like with all the apologies and
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. And so there's a new there's a
Speaker 1: new way in a new day. But I don't think
Speaker 1: the media and the liberal Democrats are going to say,
Speaker 1: you know what, you're right, we're wrong, and we're not
Speaker 1: going to We're not going to smear Donald Trump anymore. Hell,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in two weeks may be sent to the
Speaker 1: state prison. And if he had lost, I'm sure that
Speaker 1: Mary Garland's crowd and Jack Smith would have locked him
Speaker 1: up and convicted him in front of a Washington d
Speaker 1: c Jury of whatever they want to convict him of.
Speaker 1: And so you don't give advice to Democrats. But do
Speaker 1: you think that the Democratic Party is going to say,
Speaker 1: you know what, we screwed up magnificently, we don't know
Speaker 1: what the hell's going on, and it's our fault. We're sorry,
Speaker 1: let's work together for the good of the nation. Is
Speaker 1: that even possible.
Speaker 3: It's not from the modern day Democratic Party. I will
Speaker 3: say this, if Joe Biden wanted to preserve some kind
Speaker 3: of a legacy, and I'm just thinking about this this morning, Billy,
Speaker 3: and I'm surprised I'm going to say it on air,
Speaker 3: but I believe it. Joe Biden should call a press
Speaker 3: conference today this afternoon and say I am now pardoning
Speaker 3: Donald Trump of all federal crimes, and I'm calling upon
Speaker 3: the governor of New York to do the same thing.
Speaker 3: I've invited Donald Trump to the White House. It's time
Speaker 3: to put this election behind us and unite the country,
Speaker 3: and Joe Biden could firm up his legacy. I believe
Speaker 3: Joe Biden already doesn't like Kamala. I believe Joe Biden
Speaker 3: voted for Donald Trump. I think that's how upset he
Speaker 3: is at the way that the Democratic machine treated him.
Speaker 3: So I would love to see that com So if
Speaker 3: you're asking me to give advice, that's what I would do,
Speaker 3: mister President President Biden, if you're listening in, I know
Speaker 3: you might be as you are, why don't you pardon
Speaker 3: Donald Trump today and the silliness of lawfare and let's
Speaker 3: get a fresh start, and then let's have Donald Trump
Speaker 3: say to the American people, let's begin advancing legislation and
Speaker 3: laws that fix problems that seal our southern border. Let's
Speaker 3: get America's economy moving again. Let's protect the middle class,
Speaker 3: Let's get American energy underway, Let's solve some of the
Speaker 3: health related problems we have in the country. And let's
Speaker 3: do the things we talked about when we ran. This
Speaker 3: is an exciting time for us as Republicans because we
Speaker 3: know that we implement our Agenda bill, it helps Americans.
Speaker 3: It helps American families when you put good conservative laws
Speaker 3: into place that free up the economy and provide the
Speaker 3: American people with the freedom they so deserve.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Alex. It's a great victory.
Speaker 1: I know you're going to relax a little bit, pick
Speaker 1: up the pieces of this magnificent performance. State Issue one
Speaker 1: is down in flames. Bernie Marino is on top, sheared Brown?
Speaker 1: Is it not yet called? And I don't think Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris has called anyone. We should get wor at any
Speaker 1: moment as to when she's going to make a statement.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure it would be a wonderful thing if
Speaker 1: that would happen. Joe Biden's going to pardon his son
Speaker 1: and all his family members for the bribes they took
Speaker 1: from China, from Romania, from everywhere in the world. And
Speaker 1: it'd be a wonderful thing if he said. Look, in
Speaker 1: addition to these pardons, I want to clean slate. I'm
Speaker 1: going to invite Donald Trump in. I'm going to ask
Speaker 1: the governor a camp of Georgia, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: get a hold of Kathy Hochel, the governor of New York.
Speaker 1: We need to start afresh and quit fighting with each
Speaker 1: other and start working together as Americans. If that happened,
Speaker 1: I'd be in a state of shock because right now
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is turning on Joe Biden. I'm listening
Speaker 1: to all the commentsary this morning. Haven't slept all night
Speaker 1: that there blaming Joe Biden for this and given Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris a free pass. They're saying that Joe Biden should
Speaker 1: have stepped down two years ago and turned this thing
Speaker 1: over to Kamala Harris under the twenty fifth Amendment, let
Speaker 1: her be the incumbent for two years.
Speaker 2: Then she would have won. She still would have lost it.
Speaker 1: In the personality, it's the problems that we have and
Speaker 1: the fact that the elite don't understand how we live
Speaker 1: our lives. The elite things that were mushrooms living in
Speaker 1: the dark, fed crap and they don't understand it is
Speaker 1: our fault that we didn't recognize all the good things
Speaker 1: they do for us. That George Clooney is, the Matt Damon's,
Speaker 1: the Beyonces, the Oprah's, the Clintons, the Obamas, that they
Speaker 1: come out of their billion dollar homes in their mansions
Speaker 1: every two or four years and preach to us about
Speaker 1: how important they are in our life. And Tata wants
Speaker 1: to put more things up about childless cat ladies. And
Speaker 1: they live this life because of our support, directly or indirectly,
Speaker 1: and they have to recognize the country needs to go
Speaker 1: on a different and better course. And your suggestion, Alex
Speaker 1: trynt if he lew is a great one. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: right now he voted for Donald Trump. His wife wants
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Kamala Harris, and it would be
Speaker 1: a great thing to have maybe the three or four
Speaker 1: or five of them get together. Let's work on behalf
Speaker 1: of the American people. You remember a time, Alex, when
Speaker 1: Republicans and the Democrats were elected, they took off their
Speaker 1: political garb and the first thing they said was, we're here.
Speaker 1: Let's work together, Republicans and Democrats for the good of
Speaker 1: the nation were tired of defamation and slander. Let's work
Speaker 1: together for every slaps in this country and to make
Speaker 1: it better. If that happens, I'd be in his state
Speaker 1: of shock. And when someone is punched, they want to
Speaker 1: hit back harder. And Donald Trump has gone through a
Speaker 1: living hell because of a law fair and the Democrats
Speaker 1: and what they've put him through for the last three
Speaker 1: or four years, a living hell. He's the most spectacular
Speaker 1: political figure in the history of this country. He ranks
Speaker 1: up there in my book with Washington, with Jefferson, and
Speaker 1: with Lincoln. It's unbelievable what they've put him through. And
Speaker 1: he's survived. And I talked to one of the Secret
Speaker 1: Service guys who and indirectly and said, you got to
Speaker 1: protect him. I have a fear that the forces of
Speaker 1: evil are going to come after him, which we're now
Speaker 1: in January the twentieth, and they've got to double and
Speaker 1: triple because the evil forces to crawl the earth looking
Speaker 1: for the ruination of souls in the destruction of human life.
Speaker 1: They may double and triple down over the next two
Speaker 1: months to make sure that Trump doesn't survive to get
Speaker 1: to January the twentieth, and so your idea, Alex t
Speaker 1: is a wonderful one. If it happens, I'd be in
Speaker 1: a state of shock because as soon as Marine O'Connor
Speaker 1: said the American people the high winds are stupid.
Speaker 2: They don't know what we do for them.
Speaker 1: That to me typifies exactly the view of the socialists
Speaker 1: that control the Democratic Party. And Alex, once again, thanks
Speaker 1: for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show and all they
Speaker 1: can say. It truly is a great day to be
Speaker 1: an American.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Billy, God bless you.
Speaker 2: And God bless America.
Speaker 1: Get get back to sleep in you with more this
Speaker 1: afternoon is unbelievable your comments five pine three, seven four nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand. There is a God. Bill Cunningham News Radio
