Speaker 1: Portions of the Bill Cunningham Show may be pre recorded.
Speaker 2: Willie brought you by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway
Speaker 2: In Hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying
Speaker 2: stay book at.
Speaker 1: Choice Hotels dot Com.
Speaker 3: Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best,
Speaker 3: the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards
Speaker 3: for his broadcast.
Speaker 2: Excellence, the one and only Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 4: Not Billy Cunningham, the great American from the fridge at
Speaker 4: Midwest to the fiery coast of California, all Hell's break
Speaker 4: and lose. I can't imagine a resident being handed a
Speaker 4: worse menu of problems this side of Abraham Lincoln than
Speaker 4: that given to Donald Trump in about what eight days?
Speaker 4: The trump'say is gonna take over the only hope I
Speaker 4: have when I talk to my friends like Wally and
Speaker 4: Robin in Florida, I speak to my buddies like Chris
Speaker 4: and Louisiana, or I speak with Paul and Idaho. Help
Speaker 4: is on the way, I think. But the menu of
Speaker 4: items given to Donald Trump right here is I can't
Speaker 4: imagine a worse circumstance here and around the world. What's happening,
Speaker 4: and I think it's gonna get worse before it gets
Speaker 4: better over the next four or five days. What's happening
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles was the most predictive catastrophe in the
Speaker 4: history of mankind.
Speaker 5: You knew it was gonna happen.
Speaker 4: You see, Los Angeles was built in a desert, in
Speaker 4: a grassy field. The whole area is not meant for
Speaker 4: human habitation, and should not be any human habitation between
Speaker 4: the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains because it
Speaker 4: isn't meant to be that way, despite those protestations of
Speaker 4: Mother Nature. When you build in a desert in grasslands,
Speaker 4: it's been done the past one hundred years, and every
Speaker 4: year or two some worse than others. It was worse
Speaker 4: than the nineteen fifties and it is today. Of course,
Speaker 4: it's been seventy five years since then that the Santa
Speaker 4: Ana wins blow one hundred miles an hour, and that
Speaker 4: sparks take place. And I'm very suspicious when people are
Speaker 4: arrested kind of walking around with blow torches. And Wayne
Speaker 4: Allen roots coming up later. I read his column about
Speaker 4: is this terrorism? Since the way of burning down or
Speaker 4: destroying the largest metroplex in the United States of America.
Speaker 4: Maybe there's about twelve million who only live in Los
Speaker 4: Angeles County. The metro area is close to twenty million people,
Speaker 4: and right now it is offline. It's awful, it's terror
Speaker 4: and there was a confluence of several events. Number One,
Speaker 4: Mother Nature once again showed herself and despite the protestations
Speaker 4: a FEMA director, she was on Face the Nation this morning,
Speaker 4: a woman named Chris Well. She said, quote, I think
Speaker 4: LA was very prepared for this, and I'm thinking, Administrator,
Speaker 4: if this is good preparation. Hell, I don't want to
Speaker 4: see bad preparation. If this is good, because she's a
Speaker 4: left wing radical Democrat who ignores the good folks of
Speaker 4: North Carolina and the folks in the Panhandle of Florida,
Speaker 4: and cares deeply about Los Angeles. But when I watched
Speaker 4: this morning the San Anna wins, even Brennan, the so
Speaker 4: called journalist in charge of Face the Nation, asked a
Speaker 4: question to the effect of are you concerned about the
Speaker 4: lack of preparation by Los Angeles officials? She said, quote,
Speaker 4: I think they were very well prepared. They've never seen
Speaker 4: one mile prior winds that are fueling this far, Yes
Speaker 4: they have. It's happened a lot. Now it shouldn't happen
Speaker 4: a lot. It's rare, but it happens if those in
Speaker 4: charge were good stewards of their city and they knew
Speaker 4: essentially what was going on, if they had the correct
Speaker 4: planning for this, which was predicted, if they had management handled,
Speaker 4: and if they had leadership as the fires are starting,
Speaker 4: none of most of this could have been avoided by
Speaker 4: any fair estimate. But here's a little secret. There's certain
Speaker 4: principles that have torn us under the idea of electing
Speaker 4: someone better to do a job, or someone who is competent,
Speaker 4: someone who is not, shall we say, of a certain
Speaker 4: race or color or sexual orientation, but someone.
Speaker 5: Who has the merit to do the job.
Speaker 4: There's nothing in the background of Mayor Karen Bass that
Speaker 4: would indicate she had any cop and see whatsoever to
Speaker 4: become a mayor. She had been a congresswoman for a
Speaker 4: long time, advocating certain things, including punishing Senator Ted Cruz
Speaker 4: of Texas for going on a vacation while there was
Speaker 4: some cold weather in Dallas, and she issued several tweets
Speaker 4: that leadership must be present when these catastrophes occur and
Speaker 4: Ted Cruz to his credit respondent and came back home.
Speaker 4: But nonetheless, a US senator has lied her operational control
Speaker 4: of what's happening in Dallas or Houston. On the other hand,
Speaker 4: Karen Bass has complete control of Los Angeles and the
Speaker 4: obsession in left wing havens like New Orleans, in Minneapolis
Speaker 4: and Chicago and New York and Cincinnati and Atlanta and Washington,
Speaker 4: d C. With left wing politics. There's five or six
Speaker 4: cardinal rules about politics. If you're a Democrat. Number one,
Speaker 4: you have to be right when it comes to woke
Speaker 4: DEI diversity equity and which means excluding white males who
Speaker 4: are straight.
Speaker 5: Make no mistake about it. When all the news conferences.
Speaker 4: Were had over the past one or two years and
Speaker 4: the mayor Karen Bass picked leadership in the fire department,
Speaker 4: she picked leaders who had shalways say, a different sexual
Speaker 4: orientation than none myself, and they picked someone who fit
Speaker 4: a category much like Kamala Harris was picked not because
Speaker 4: she was competent, but because she was a black female.
Speaker 4: According to Joe Biden, he was looking for a black
Speaker 4: female and Karen Bass, believe it or not, was second
Speaker 4: on the list behind Kamala Harris. And for those who
Speaker 4: think this is a racial or sex matter, it is not.
Speaker 4: Who's more incompetent than the Denver mayor Mike Johnston, who's
Speaker 4: a Democrat in Denver. Who's more incompetent than Jacob Frye,
Speaker 4: white male from Minneapolis who watched his city burn down,
Speaker 4: watched the Rioters take over a police station, just watched
Speaker 4: it burn down, still not and build up. So the
Speaker 4: fact of the matter is you don't have to be
Speaker 4: white or black, a or straight to be incompetent. You
Speaker 4: simply have to be incompetent. I think of individuals like
Speaker 4: Richard Grenell, who's homosexual and he was Trump's acting DNI designate.
Speaker 4: I think of dearly departed Herman Kane. I think of
Speaker 4: Jesse Lee Peterson. I think of many others. I think
Speaker 4: a condo Liza Rice, all of whom shall always say
Speaker 4: are African Americans, but all of whom are competent. There's
Speaker 4: nothing about race or general that makes you competent or incompetent.
Speaker 4: It's what you've done in your life is a person
Speaker 4: that makes you competent or incompetent. And there's nothing in
Speaker 4: the background of Karen Bass to indicate that she was
Speaker 4: competent to run a city with a budget up to
Speaker 4: US several billions of dollars. They spent the money on homelessness.
Speaker 4: They spent the money on DEI principles, hiring individuals based
Speaker 4: upon sexual orientation and not competency. They spent the money
Speaker 4: on needle exchange programs. They spent the money on illegal aliens.
Speaker 4: They spent the money on not prosecuting smash and grab
Speaker 4: robbers of every description. So by the time it was
Speaker 4: necessary to do the things basic to a city, money
Speaker 4: was not available. So she cut the fire department by
Speaker 4: seventeen million after Gavin Newsoon cut the state contribution to
Speaker 4: the fire department by one hundred million dollars. It didn't fit,
Speaker 4: shall we say, the idea of DEI in climbate extremism
Speaker 4: or homelessness, or firing firefighters that wouldn't take the vaccine
Speaker 4: seven hundred were fired, or open borders and fueling the
Speaker 4: illegal rise in this country. I could not imagine living
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles before this particular fire came down from
Speaker 4: the mountains the Santa Ana Wins and destroyed large sections there.
Speaker 4: The taxes are confiscatory, the rules and regulations take five
Speaker 4: to ten years to build a home, the income tax,
Speaker 4: state income tax of fourteen point four percent, the city
Speaker 4: income tax, the real estate taxes. I have a guest
Speaker 4: coming up later to talk about rider truck rentals go
Speaker 4: in one direction, which is out of California. People can't
Speaker 4: take it anymore. And despite the protestations of those via
Speaker 4: North Carolina or Montana, California likely is our most beautiful state,
Speaker 4: ruined by left wing radical democratic politics and extreme climate
Speaker 4: ideas that have put into the air right now the
Speaker 4: largest particulate matter since there was a volcano in Mount
Speaker 4: Saint Helens about thirty five forty years ago. Think how
Speaker 4: how ironic is it that I watched this morning the
Speaker 4: interview of Gavin Newsom and he said, quote California leads
Speaker 4: the nation in environmental stewardship. That's what he said, They
Speaker 4: lead the nation in stewardship. I'm not going to give
Speaker 4: up on that. But one thing I won't give up
Speaker 4: on is delay. He's going to issue some executive orders.
Speaker 4: I set them meet the press that we're going to
Speaker 4: expedite the building process. The building process, are you kid?
Speaker 4: According to the experts? Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, and maybe
Speaker 4: as bad as it was a week ago. I can't
Speaker 4: help but notice the irony and Gavin Newsom's claim that
Speaker 4: quote California leads the nation in environmental stewardship unquote. Right now,
Speaker 4: the Golden State is spewing trillions of tons of particulate
Speaker 4: matter into the atmosphere, so much so that residents can't breathe,
Speaker 4: the water system is being contaminated, and the smoke can
Speaker 4: be seen from outer space. And they lead the nation
Speaker 4: in stewardship of the environment. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5: No, they don't.
Speaker 4: Their policies help to bring about what is occurring, and
Speaker 4: it's occurring in an area and that is a desert
Speaker 4: and an area that should not be built whatsoever, but
Speaker 4: it's built. So then if you do that, much like
Speaker 4: in Florida, which has many hurricanes, when you build near
Speaker 4: the coast, those lots of things you better do to
Speaker 4: get ready. Those things include the right building code and
Speaker 4: also the attendance of a competent stewardship and management. When
Speaker 4: there were hurricanes hitting Florida, the evacuation routes were known.
Speaker 4: We knew exactly whether hurricanes were going to hit. Quickly,
Speaker 4: groups got in there and took care of business. And
Speaker 4: a hurricane in Florida generally is not a catastrophe as
Speaker 4: it was fifteen twenty thirty years ago. And it's sad
Speaker 4: to watch the great state of California devolve in the
Speaker 4: chaos because of the stewardship of liberal Democrats of which
Speaker 4: the current leadership is only a part. Now, I've heard
Speaker 4: some say, well, wait till Trump takes over on the twentieth,
Speaker 4: what eight days from now, and he'll.
Speaker 5: Take over Los Angeles for what reason? For what reason?
Speaker 4: What can he do sitting in Washington, d C. That
Speaker 4: the locals themselves have not done. Look at the problems,
Speaker 4: they're incredible. Number one is the lack of stewardship of
Speaker 4: what was going to happen. All the reservoirs have been drained.
Speaker 4: In fact, in twenty fourteen, the citizens in California put
Speaker 4: up seven point five billion dollars to build more reservoirs.
Speaker 4: But what happened is the governor said no. In fact,
Speaker 4: the governor four or five years ago destroyed three dams
Speaker 4: because they were affecting the spawning habits of the shmeltfish
Speaker 4: and also salmon. He destroyed the dams and did not
Speaker 4: build the reservoirs, And there was other water retention facilities
Speaker 4: to the tune of trillions and gallons that were left
Speaker 4: dry the last several years by the incompetency of those
Speaker 4: in charge of water in Los Angeles County and the
Speaker 4: fire department. And it goes on and on and on.
Speaker 4: Wildfire alone is not destroying Los Angeles. And make no
Speaker 4: mistake when I hear good words being said, we're going
Speaker 4: to build better the next time, We're gonna build quickly.
Speaker 5: No, it's not. Whenever you sit.
Speaker 4: Down at the house closing, the first thing said, do
Speaker 4: you have your insurance policy with you? And if you
Speaker 4: can't ensure the property, the bank is not going to
Speaker 4: loan you money unless you're rich. Unless you're rich can
Speaker 4: put pay cash for property. And of those areas, it's
Speaker 4: millions and millions of dollars. You have to bring an
Speaker 4: insurance policy. One report said not because most of the
Speaker 4: insurance companies have pulled out of Los Angeles. That's seventy percent.
Speaker 4: And some zip codes do not have homeowners insurance because
Speaker 4: they don't have a policy to buy even if they
Speaker 4: could spend fifty or one hundred thousand dollars a year
Speaker 4: for a yearly premium. Guess what, insurance companies, why not
Speaker 4: write policies in certain zip codes because of the prevalence
Speaker 4: of these fires, Santa Ana wins, especially this time of
Speaker 4: the year. So if you add the cost, and where
Speaker 4: do you go to find twenty thousand homebuilders? I'm talking
Speaker 4: twenty thousand. What about the schools and the restaurants, the
Speaker 4: coffee shops, the grocery stores, They're all gone, they don't exist.
Speaker 4: That this is something because of the incompetence of Karen
Speaker 4: Bass and Gavin Newsom and many others. It's going to
Speaker 4: lad for a decade or more. It will not be
Speaker 4: the same. It's not coming back for a long time,
Speaker 4: which will destroy the tax base in Los Angeles and
Speaker 4: the tax base in California, which borrows fifty billion dollars
Speaker 4: a year to meet their state budget. And guess what,
Speaker 4: I doubt the FEDS are going to step up and
Speaker 4: say we're going to handle the problems of your inadequacies.
Speaker 4: We're not going to do it. It's sad, but it's
Speaker 4: the way things are. It's not about race or gender,
Speaker 4: because there are white male mayors of the Democratic Party
Speaker 4: like Jacob Pry and Mike Johnston of Denver and Minneapolis, respectively,
Speaker 4: who believe the same philosophy as Karen Bass. When when
Speaker 4: the main qualification for your job is your skin color
Speaker 4: or your sexual orientation, it's over. It's done, it's not
Speaker 4: going to work. You need merit based promotion, and no
Speaker 4: one should be hired because of the color of their
Speaker 4: skin nor the kind of sex they enjoy. But that's
Speaker 4: what happens in almost every major Democratic city. You can't
Speaker 4: apply for work, much like New Orleans. I had on
Speaker 4: last week the experts from New Orleans who said that
Speaker 4: Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the chief of police that looks
Speaker 4: like a character from the Beverly Hillbillies are completely incompetent,
Speaker 4: but they were hired. They were hired first, and then
Speaker 4: they were retained and then voted into office because of
Speaker 4: the skin color. When you vote by skin color and
Speaker 4: not vote by merit, that's the heart and soul of
Speaker 4: the modern Democratic Party. When Joe Biden said I'm going
Speaker 4: to find me a vice president who's a black female,
Speaker 4: there was like two qualified Karen Bass and the best
Speaker 4: was Kamala Harris. And if that's the way you picked
Speaker 4: your candidates for a high political office. My god, are
Speaker 4: we in trouble? And lastly, this is from the New
Speaker 4: York Times. I read these things so you don't have
Speaker 4: to have a headline From January the twelfth, a couple
Speaker 4: of days ago. Before taking office, LA's mayor said she
Speaker 4: would not go abroad. She was noted for travel when
Speaker 4: she was in the Congress. She would try travel all
Speaker 4: over Hell's half acre. She went to Africa six to
Speaker 4: seven times a year. She made seventeen trips to Cuba
Speaker 4: to communist regime of Fidel Castro and his brother. She
Speaker 4: told the New York Times she would not travel if
Speaker 4: she was the mayor. She quickly broke that promise and
Speaker 4: has made many trips overseas on taxpayer expense to get
Speaker 4: more perspective on how to operate a water system in La,
Speaker 4: which she has not done well.
Speaker 5: Let's continue.
Speaker 4: I want to get your reaction and where do we
Speaker 4: stand as an American taxpayer? Do you think we should
Speaker 4: bail out Los Angeles and New Orleans? Do you think
Speaker 4: we should spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build
Speaker 4: back better in Los Angeles until they change their ways?
Speaker 4: Do you help a part of the country that will
Speaker 4: not help itself. Well, let's continue line becomes available eight
Speaker 4: sixty six six four seven seven three three seven Bill
Speaker 4: cunning and the Great American with you every Sunday night.
Speaker 4: And I would note that about two hours ago, sources
Speaker 4: from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement told Fox News on
Speaker 4: Sunday night that a suspect has been arrested for setting
Speaker 4: some of the fires called the Kenneth Fire. He was arrested.
Speaker 4: There's video of him with a blow torch. Sources from
Speaker 4: I say his name is Juan Manuel Sierra Leva. He's
Speaker 4: a Mexican national. The suspect one viral left of social
Speaker 4: media video showed a group of Good Samaritans subduing him
Speaker 4: near the Kenneth Fire while he was holding a blow torch.
Speaker 4: The suspect is in custody on a probation violation, so
Speaker 4: he did something else illegal. Mexican should not be here
Speaker 4: with a blow torch. And I says they will put
Speaker 4: a detainer on him so that when LA releases him
Speaker 4: for no particular reason, the ICE has a retainer. Of course,
Speaker 4: because LA is a sanctuary city, they do not honor
Speaker 4: ICE retainers, so it is hoped that he's not released
Speaker 4: before noon a week from tomorrow. But one knows that
Speaker 4: we have thousands of terrorists in this country. We have
Speaker 4: hundreds of known terrorists who are on terror watch lists.
Speaker 4: We have thousands of Mexican nationals. How easy it's been
Speaker 4: to cause complete havoc in America's largest, most populated area,
Speaker 4: Los Angeles County and surrounding. And this illegal immigrant has
Speaker 4: a blow torch near where the fire started. And there's
Speaker 4: five or six different fires started almost simultaneously at different
Speaker 4: parts of the county, in different parts of the area,
Speaker 4: which indicates how's that possible they all started? Was it
Speaker 4: the San Ana Wins blowing the embers or was it
Speaker 4: something else? And I would note that Wayne Allen Root,
Speaker 4: my friend, will be here in about thirty five minutes.
Speaker 4: I want to bring this up to him about possibly
Speaker 4: how easy it is to bring down American society, especially
Speaker 4: in relationship to what FBI Director Ray said on his
Speaker 4: way out the door and his exit interview in sixty
Speaker 4: minutes that the Chinese have implanted malware in every critical
Speaker 4: juncture of the American way of life, from the water system,
Speaker 4: the phones, to electric electrical grid and more. And we
Speaker 4: are so vulnerable. Think of the menu of problems that
Speaker 4: Donald Trump has as he takes office in eight days.
Speaker 4: Unbelievable Mexican illegal arrested with a blow torch. Pill Cunningham
Speaker 4: with you every something, Billy cunning in the Great America.
Speaker 4: And I would note the FBI Director Christopher Ray appeared
Speaker 4: on sixty Minutes kind of like an exit interview in
Speaker 4: which he said something that made some sense. He often doesn't,
Speaker 4: but he said that quote, the Chinese government is pre
Speaker 4: positioning on US civilian critical infrastructure to lie in wait,
Speaker 4: in those networks, to be in a position to wreak
Speaker 4: havoc and inflict real harm on the United States of
Speaker 4: America at a time and manner of their choosing, including
Speaker 4: drone technology if you seen any drones recently, the ability
Speaker 4: to run water, to conduct to our electrical appliances, cell phones, businesses, military,
Speaker 4: They have millions and millions of bits of malware all
Speaker 4: over this country that they have prepositioned to cause havoc.
Speaker 4: You see how simple it would be for an legal
Speaker 4: migrant from Mexico with a blowtorch to cause absolute havoc
Speaker 4: in La And what he said send a chill down
Speaker 4: my spine because we're completely unprepared for any of this
Speaker 4: the last four years. This is one of the worst
Speaker 4: things that Biden Kamala Harris did not do is look
Speaker 4: out for our interest when it comes to Chinese malware
Speaker 4: and also drone technology and also spy balloons flying all
Speaker 4: over the country on a regular basis from China.
Speaker 5: This is utterly ridiculous.
Speaker 4: I want to get your calls and later on we'll
Speaker 4: set up tonight's big show and if the line becomes
Speaker 4: available eight six six six four seven seven three three seven,
Speaker 4: let's go to Lindsay and Texas first. Then calls from
Speaker 4: Arkansas and Florida and North Carolina and Lindsay and Texas.
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Lindsay, how are you.
Speaker 6: I'm pretty good, Bill, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 6: I could be better. I'm very saddened by what's happened
Speaker 6: to these people. I'm more saddened to those who didn't
Speaker 6: vote these people in office a few years ago.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 6: When they tried to recall the governor, right and that failed.
Speaker 6: So stupidity sins, not common sense, which is what Donald
Speaker 6: Trump talks about. So where you have the Red States
Speaker 6: there's common sense. Where you have the Blue States, there's stupidity.
Speaker 5: If you take California, takes your call.
Speaker 4: How about every major American city controlled decades by liberalism.
Speaker 4: It's not black or white, or gay, whatever, it's a
Speaker 4: philosophy of liberalism. And when that philosophy is given long
Speaker 4: enough time to seep into the body politic, into the groundwater.
Speaker 4: There's not one great successful American city doing well under democratic, liberal,
Speaker 4: progressive rule.
Speaker 5: You can be a.
Speaker 4: White male, a black female, black, lesbian, married guy with
Speaker 4: three kids, whatever it is. It's the philosophy of progressivism.
Speaker 4: Liberalism destroying American cities like it's destroyed every city or
Speaker 4: state in the world it's ever touched. It's not about
Speaker 4: race or gender or sex. What it's about is a philosophy.
Speaker 4: And I look at LA with all the advantages they have,
Speaker 4: and the characters come and go, but the electorate remains.
Speaker 4: What makes you think that when Karen Bass and Newsom
Speaker 4: leave the scene, that Californias are going to pick a
Speaker 4: better leader.
Speaker 6: I don't think they are.
Speaker 5: I don't think so, because they are.
Speaker 6: Who they are and they can live with what they get.
Speaker 6: I mean, they're four hundred million dollar homes burned.
Speaker 1: Live with it.
Speaker 6: You got the money, live with it. The other people
Speaker 6: you know, come to Texas, come to Florida, go to
Speaker 6: South Dakota, North Dakota.
Speaker 5: Beautiful. Yeah, just get out.
Speaker 6: Beautiful places and you don't have to live with these
Speaker 6: people that try to drag you down. Take all your money,
Speaker 6: put it in their pockets, and we don't even know
Speaker 6: where it goes. There's no accountability for it. What have
Speaker 6: they proven that what they've done with it.
Speaker 4: I'll give you an example, lindsay, about two years ago,
Speaker 4: there was a huge tax increase in order to handle
Speaker 4: the homelessness problem. There's seventy five thousand homeless living on
Speaker 4: the streets of Los Angeles, urinating, defecating, fornicating. There are
Speaker 4: sidewalks taken over by homelessness using drugs, kids walking over
Speaker 4: feces to go to school. And so the state of
Speaker 4: California agreed to spend one hundred billion dollars. Now, that
Speaker 4: is a boatload of money to solve the homelessness problem.
Speaker 4: Guess what, it's worse now than it has ever been before.
Speaker 4: Give you another example. Three or four years ago, the
Speaker 4: Congress passed under the Democrats, this wiring up of America.
Speaker 4: That is to have these electrical power stations all over
Speaker 4: the country.
Speaker 5: For the EVS.
Speaker 4: They gave forty billion dollars in order to have literally
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand EV power stations all over the country.
Speaker 4: So far there's been twenty built, and half of those
Speaker 4: don't work. Having spent the money, we have no results.
Speaker 4: So government activity that doesn't solve a problem, it can't
Speaker 4: exacerbate it. And lastly, lindsay, imagine being a kid growing
Speaker 4: up in Los Angeles going to school as a first grader.
Speaker 4: You've got to run an obstacle course to get to class,
Speaker 4: and when you get there, you're taught DEI. You're taught
Speaker 4: what's wrong in this country, not reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Speaker 4: You're taught all the evils of the United States of America.
Speaker 4: And that's how you're indoctrinated. So when you get to
Speaker 4: be a voter, you think Karen Bass makes sense. You
Speaker 4: think Gavin Newsom makes sense because you don't know anything different.
Speaker 4: And lindsay, if for those who say, okay, let Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: let them take over California, what the hell are you
Speaker 4: talking about? Do the Californians want that? When they start
Speaker 4: voting for constitutional conservatives to run their governments. I'll start
Speaker 4: believing in it. But it's been about thirty years since
Speaker 4: Arnold Schwarzenegger. It wasn't much of a Republican anyway, was
Speaker 4: the governor. And it's been thirty years since a Republicans
Speaker 4: controlled city council in Los Angeles. It doesn't exist anymore
Speaker 4: until they help themselves. Why should we help them?
Speaker 6: Tell me if I'm wrong, But have we not all
Speaker 6: the time bailed them out? I know Texas, you know.
Speaker 7: We balance our budgets.
Speaker 6: We have money. We got to give it to California.
Speaker 6: And if you don't think that takes us off, it does.
Speaker 6: And I'm sure it takes every other state off. That
Speaker 6: they screw up and they waste their money and they
Speaker 6: know that it's a sham, and then they take our money.
Speaker 6: It's our money.
Speaker 4: Well, I tell you, Lindsay, people are voting with their feet.
Speaker 4: There's one way out of California. Get down too, Las Vegas.
Speaker 4: Get into North or South Dakota or Montana. I think
Speaker 4: those individuals, but don't bring your politics with you.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: Sean Hannity, my good friend got to New York City,
Speaker 4: got onto the east coast of Florida, and he's begging
Speaker 4: those who flee New York, do not bring your politics
Speaker 4: with you, because they have failed. And right now it
Speaker 4: is a fail state. It is beyond repair. What's happened
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles because of the failure of its politicians
Speaker 4: is beyond repair. And until they say we're gonna change
Speaker 4: our way, when Gavin Newsom can actually say to Karen
Speaker 4: bass Man, you're doing a great job, when the director
Speaker 4: of FEMA can say that Karen bass is doing a
Speaker 4: great job, and the fire department is doing a great job,
Speaker 4: and they need more money. They want to rebuild. What
Speaker 4: to rebuild in an area that's basically a desert? Why
Speaker 4: rebuild in an area where you can't find builders of homes?
Speaker 4: They got to build twenty thousand homes, and you've got
Speaker 4: to show up at the closing. You've got to bring
Speaker 4: your insurance policy with you, whether it's all state or
Speaker 4: State farm or Fireman's fund. They're all dumping out of California.
Speaker 4: They can't take it anymore. And therefore without insurance, you
Speaker 4: cannot build a home. And it takes five years to
Speaker 4: build a home. Anyway in California, be goes the rules
Speaker 4: and regulations.
Speaker 5: It is a failed city state.
Speaker 6: They're just gonna burn down again because not going to
Speaker 6: change their way.
Speaker 5: You have to you have to have you have to
Speaker 5: you have.
Speaker 6: To sign of the forestry.
Speaker 7: Can they have water resources like tru plenty?
Speaker 4: They have plenty, but not if you not if you
Speaker 4: destroy the dams, not if you don't use the money
Speaker 4: to build more water retention systems. I mean, there's trillions
Speaker 4: of gallons of water every other goes into the Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 4: Save the water for when you need it. But they're
Speaker 4: they're encapsulated with DEI, discrimination, homelessness, drug use, cross genderism,
Speaker 4: all that stuff. And in reality, uh, they're not using
Speaker 4: the money basically to make the lives of average Angelinos better.
Speaker 4: What they're doing is spending it pursuant to liberalism. Same
Speaker 4: thing happened in Minneapolis, Same thing happened to my hometown
Speaker 4: of Cincinnati. We used to have five hundred thousand people
Speaker 4: in Cincinnati. We now have three hundred thousand. The schools
Speaker 4: you cannot attend the schools, they stink. There's not much
Speaker 4: lawlessness because we have a pretty good sheriff here. But
Speaker 4: let's face it, right now, every major American city is
Speaker 4: similar to Los Angeles and governance, and that's got to stop.
Speaker 4: We got to run. Thanks for your call. Let's go
Speaker 4: to uh, let's go to Rick and Indy. Rick in Indianapolis.
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 5: Rick. How are you.
Speaker 8: I'm blessed, Professor Cunningham.
Speaker 1: How are you? Well?
Speaker 5: I'm doing my best. But Trump.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine a president with these problems coming into
Speaker 4: office in the media getting ready to attack Donald Trump
Speaker 4: because of California.
Speaker 5: They're getting ready.
Speaker 8: Now, They've already been doing it for quite a while,
Speaker 8: and they just have to find anything they can do
Speaker 8: to try to tear him down and give us a
Speaker 8: bad attitude about everything. And you know that's just unfortunate
Speaker 8: for these people.
Speaker 1: To do that.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just telling you we got problems.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I wouldn't want to be president.
Speaker 7: No, thank you.
Speaker 4: He's got Whether whether it's Ukraine, the Middle East, North Korea,
Speaker 4: China puts malware over every computer system in this country,
Speaker 4: whether it's a southern border, whether it's what's happened in
Speaker 4: Los Angeles may get worse the next two or three days,
Speaker 4: whether it's a such a deficit of two trillion dollars
Speaker 4: a year, the fact that the ten year notes rising,
Speaker 4: which means rates rise, mortgage rates rise, which means LA
Speaker 4: is going to be off the market for years to come,
Speaker 4: which will be a tax loss that Sacramento will ask
Speaker 4: Washington to paper over. Practically every urban public school in
Speaker 4: America cannot be attended because they're so bad. We have
Speaker 4: defund the police movements everywhere in DEI, which isn't based
Speaker 4: upon merit, based upon skin color and sex, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Karen Bass got the job and was elected because she's
Speaker 4: a black female and not because she's competent. And Gavin
Speaker 4: Newsom got the job and he's incompetent. He's a white,
Speaker 4: married male. So it's not about your sexual orientation, it's
Speaker 4: about your incompetence.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, Yes, sir, I do.
Speaker 8: And I grew up in California as a young man,
Speaker 8: went to the public schools. It was beautiful, We enjoyed it,
Speaker 8: but you couldn't pay me to go back there. Now.
Speaker 8: It's just a complete and total rick, and has been
Speaker 8: for quite some time.
Speaker 4: What changes Because I've heard some commentators say, well wait
Speaker 4: till Donald Trump gets in office. What the heck can
Speaker 4: he do about Chicago, Austin, Texas, Atlanta, Memphis, San Francisco.
Speaker 4: By the way, there's more dogs in San Francisco and
Speaker 4: kids in the public school system in San Francisco. There's
Speaker 4: more abortions black babies a board in New York City
Speaker 4: than black babies that are born because of the abortion pill.
Speaker 4: And look, La, what can Trump do about any of that?
Speaker 4: When the residents don't want to help themselves? What can
Speaker 4: the Trump's to do?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 8: Thank God, he likes to work. Yeah, and our current
Speaker 8: president has only been there maybe a third of the time.
Speaker 8: And it is that And I know that I have
Speaker 8: hope in Trump that he's not going to sleep easy
Speaker 8: at night until he solves some of these issues. And
Speaker 8: that's why I voted for him and the people around me.
Speaker 8: And you know, I run a street ministry here in Indianapolis,
Speaker 8: and I'm dealing with the people that are less fortunate.
Speaker 8: But it's something that we all agree with that at
Speaker 8: least he's going to work and he's not going to
Speaker 8: stop until he does something.
Speaker 4: You know, Reverend, I know Joe Biden is mentally incompetent,
Speaker 4: God bless him. Maybe at some point you and I
Speaker 4: might be in the same diminished mental capacity. But we
Speaker 4: shouldn't be the president. But when you say he worked
Speaker 4: one third at the time, that might be high. But
Speaker 4: on the other hand, maybe that's a blessing. All he's
Speaker 4: done is wrongful things and so therefore if it worked
Speaker 4: any harder, things would be worse.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess, thank God for small miracles. And that's
Speaker 8: the reason I called is because I wanted to ask
Speaker 8: you about him giving the Pope the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Speaker 8: In my space. I'm not Catholic, and I know you
Speaker 8: are a staunchly Catholic. I'm charismatic Christian and it's something
Speaker 8: that I think, in my opinion, the Pope should have
Speaker 8: refused that because that is a word from the earth,
Speaker 8: so to speak. And I was always taught that you
Speaker 8: shouldn't boast upon yourself, but if you have to boast,
Speaker 8: boast upon the Lord, well.
Speaker 4: You know, Pope course is an Argentinian socialist. My favorite
Speaker 4: pope was John Paul the second and Benedict and the
Speaker 4: idea of this pope, I mean, I wish him well,
Speaker 4: he's almost ninety years old. If I can't speak to
Speaker 4: I know he received the order with distinction. The first
Speaker 4: one given out and the Pope accepted it, and I
Speaker 4: do not. I can't judge anybody yet I be judged
Speaker 4: if Joe Biden is a good, practicing Roman Catholic. That's
Speaker 4: not my definition of what a good Roman Catholic is,
Speaker 4: and that would be Joe Biden. I think, if your
Speaker 4: call got to take a break, I'm not going to
Speaker 4: judge someone else.
Speaker 5: Let him be judged.
Speaker 4: But when Joe Biden, unless he apologizes and asks forgiveness
Speaker 4: before the Seat of God, his place may be warm.
Speaker 4: Let's continue with more forty eight minutes after the hour,
Speaker 4: Bill Cunningham, the Great America with you every Sunday night.
Speaker 5: Judge not lest they be judged.
Speaker 4: And I would say that Joe Biden, who claims to
Speaker 4: be a practicing Roman Catholic, well a lot to answer
Speaker 4: for before the Seat of God, just as some of
Speaker 4: those things might be his behavior with his own daughter.
Speaker 4: Also might be the fact that he thinks abortion is
Speaker 4: like a sacramento. He gave the nation's highest civilian honor
Speaker 4: to Planned Parenthood members who kill babies from the that's
Speaker 4: the worst crime that can be committed, as when you
Speaker 4: kill the innocent and from the moment of conception of
Speaker 4: natural death. Those are human lives. And for Joe Biden
Speaker 4: to give the highest civilian award to plan parenthood is disgusting.
Speaker 4: And to claim somehow that his behavior with his own
Speaker 4: daughter Ashley was somehow, somehow acceptable and not necessarily wrong,
Speaker 4: and somehow a hiss. Behavior with other women like Tara Reid,
Speaker 4: who sexually assaulted she said it happened. I don't know
Speaker 4: if it did or not. Are all rather despicable acts,
Speaker 4: to say nothing of other things he's done inside the
Speaker 4: White House.
Speaker 5: That's for another day.
Speaker 4: Let's go to Keith and North Carolina hopefully recovered from
Speaker 4: the storm, and Keith, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 5: And Keith, how are you hi?
Speaker 10: I'm great, sir. It's a privileged to talk to you.
Speaker 8: Appreciate you, thank you.
Speaker 10: Basically, Western I'm not measuring pain here. Western North Carolina
Speaker 10: was devastated. These are the regular folk, right yep. And
Speaker 10: they go white out of the house, went down the creek, yep.
Speaker 10: And we're sitting here going like, oh, I understand not
Speaker 10: worried about the I am worried about the California fires.
Speaker 10: But the point is, you know, these folks have been
Speaker 10: left abandoned. They're sitting there now going like, hey, we're
Speaker 10: no longer going to pay for your hotel room because
Speaker 10: your house has been certified, i e. A government approval
Speaker 10: that you can move back into your house, but we
Speaker 10: can't get hold of you. Now, help me understand this.
Speaker 10: You can't get hold of somebody who you're paying for
Speaker 10: the room in a hotel. That's bizarre.
Speaker 4: Now the thing didn't a FEMA official say that skip
Speaker 4: the homes with Trump signs that somehow if you're a Trumpster,
Speaker 4: you're not entitled to federal benefits. And when you have
Speaker 4: the director of FEMA this morning, this woman say, I
Speaker 4: think it was on Meet the Press this morning. Now,
Speaker 4: Karen Bass and LA officials are doing a good job.
Speaker 4: If that's a good job there, I don't want to
Speaker 4: see a bad one.
Speaker 10: I'm with you. I'm with you, and if don't wait
Speaker 10: for the government to support you. But that's what we're
Speaker 10: talking about, So let's go ahead and continue the conversation.
Speaker 10: FEMA went in there and actually deterred the locals from
Speaker 10: helping themselves. I don't care about this, it's rumor whatever.
Speaker 10: I don't live there, I'm near so sir, but they're
Speaker 10: my backyard, all right. So let's not forget about the
Speaker 10: folks that don't have a house. And now you, saint kid,
Speaker 10: get hold of them because you can't find them. But
Speaker 10: yet you're paying for the room. That's maloney you want.
Speaker 4: To get Keith, good point, Thank you, And North Carolinians
Speaker 4: did a great job cleaning up themselves. And the ministries
Speaker 4: did wonderful work. Great work I know Matthew twenty five
Speaker 4: did great work in the Ministry of Franklin Graham did
Speaker 4: great work. I can't say that about FEMA. When the
Speaker 4: director of FEMA says LA fire officials now are doing
Speaker 4: a good job, I don't want to see a bad one, say.
Speaker 5: Tuned for more.
Speaker 4: Coming up first will be Wayne Allen Root. He's got
Speaker 4: a great column at Root for america dot com. Also
Speaker 4: later on is Grover Norquist? Have one or two other
Speaker 4: guests coming. But we live in difficult times, and the
Speaker 4: menu of problems given to this guy is unpresident since
Speaker 4: eighteen sixty one, when Lincoln took over the presidency. There's
Speaker 4: no part of the world, either literally or figure figuratively,
Speaker 4: not on fire. And it's going to be laid in
Speaker 4: his lap. And every little thing he does right or wrong.
Speaker 4: Mainly it's going to be right. Sometimes wrong will be
Speaker 4: roundly criticized by the mainstream media, who shut up completely
Speaker 4: when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were doing things, shut
Speaker 4: up completely. And if Republicans controlled California and this stuff
Speaker 4: would go on the media, what have a completely different
Speaker 4: attitude because they were the same Jerseys as the Democrats.
Speaker 4: Let's continue with more. Phil Cunningham, the Great American, with
Speaker 4: you and all great Americans every Sunday.
Speaker 2: Night, Willie.
Speaker 3: Brought you by Choice Hotels a Conor Roger roadway in
Speaker 3: hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying stay
Speaker 3: book at Choice Hotels dot com. Now here's the man
Speaker 3: who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not one,
Speaker 3: but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast excellence, the
Speaker 3: one and only Bill Cunninghead.
Speaker 4: Right, Billy Cunningham, the Great America and the great win
Speaker 4: on the Route, spent many years living in California.
Speaker 5: Wrote a column about this.
Speaker 4: He left Malibu, California about twenty three years ago as
Speaker 4: a big story up at a Root for America dot com.
Speaker 4: Wildfire alone didn't destroy La how the dumb radical left
Speaker 4: six favorite obsessions made the fire unstoppable and joan you
Speaker 4: and I now is the great went on Route? And
Speaker 4: first of all win I note that two or three
Speaker 4: days ago even the New York Times wrote a story
Speaker 4: about her, Karen Bass, and the headline is before taking office,
Speaker 4: LA's mayor said she would not go abroad, and the
Speaker 4: reason was when she was in Congress. That's all she
Speaker 4: did was go abroad on the nation's dime, especially to
Speaker 4: Cuba and to Africa. But nonetheless, what destroyed, what has
Speaker 4: destroyed La, continues to be so went en Route. What
Speaker 4: are your thoughts?
Speaker 11: Well, looking at you know, the chickens are coming home
Speaker 11: to roost. I've said for years now it's not La,
Speaker 11: it's the whole country under Joe Biden, or I should
Speaker 11: say puppet Joe Biden, probably really under Barack Obama, who
Speaker 11: I think has been the clear leader of the country
Speaker 11: who gives the orders. But I've said for years it's
Speaker 11: two things. Number One, we're spending all of our money
Speaker 11: on illegal aliens, and it will come home to roost
Speaker 11: because there's no money left for anything or anyone else,
Speaker 11: no money left for seniors, nobody left for veterans. No
Speaker 11: money left for cops or firemen, no money left for
Speaker 11: the military. Every dime is going, it seems to illegal aliens.
Speaker 11: It's in saturity. And number two I said, the whole
Speaker 11: country has been destroyed by DEI. You know, not gonna
Speaker 11: have anything against you. If you're black, if you're Latino,
Speaker 11: if you're brown, if you're gay, if you're lesbian, if
Speaker 11: you're transgender.
Speaker 8: Great.
Speaker 11: But if you are that, and you have a great
Speaker 11: resume and great experience and great talent, then you should
Speaker 11: get the job. But if you don't have that, you
Speaker 11: can't give someone the job or give them a promotion
Speaker 11: to run a major agency just because they're black, or transgender,
Speaker 11: or Latino or lesbian. And the whole country has been
Speaker 11: ruined by this insanity, not just giving jobs, but giving
Speaker 11: you know, college entrance because of the color of your
Speaker 11: skin or the fact that you're gay. Well that's the
Speaker 11: whole LA.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 11: The other day one of my buddies was watching the
Speaker 11: press conference in LA and he said, Wayne, they're like
Speaker 11: twelve people on the stage and eleven of them are gay,
Speaker 11: mostly lesbian. He said, this is insanity. This is all
Speaker 11: you've got to run Los Angeles and not one of
Speaker 11: them knows how to put a fire out. You know,
Speaker 11: it's it's insanity.
Speaker 7: So you know it's la but it's the whole country.
Speaker 11: And so I tell the story that I spent a
Speaker 11: lot of my time in the summers. I think, you
Speaker 11: know this bill in Parks City of Utah. I love
Speaker 11: Parks City of Utah. In the summer, it's heaven. And
Speaker 11: about two I think it was two summers ago. It
Speaker 11: could have been three, but it was recently. And I
Speaker 11: was sitting there having something to eat at a restaurant,
Speaker 11: and suddenly the word got out that a massive fire
Speaker 11: was in the forest. You know, you know, it's surrounded
Speaker 11: on all four sides by trees as far as you
Speaker 11: could see, you know, the forests on the on the
Speaker 11: forests and woods on the mountains. And that everybody was scared.
Speaker 11: They all went running home. The place emptied out because
Speaker 11: everyone was told get home, pack your suitcase, get all
Speaker 11: your biggest belongings, your most important papers, and you know,
Speaker 11: protect your pets. This is the big one. It could
Speaker 11: burn the whole town down. We've been dreading this for decades.
Speaker 11: When's the big one gonna come? It was that bad
Speaker 11: of a fire. Well, the moral to the story is
Speaker 11: about three or four hours later, it was like all clear,
Speaker 11: we put it out. We hit it with the helicopters
Speaker 11: with water drops and planes with water drops, and the
Speaker 11: fire was out. In that one house in Park City burned.
Speaker 11: They caught it before it got to the city. And
Speaker 11: I said at the time, I went on the radio TV.
Speaker 11: About three or four days later, I got back to
Speaker 11: my vacation and I said, what I just witnessed could
Speaker 11: never happen in California because they've spent all their money
Speaker 11: on illegals, and they have no money left for firemen.
Speaker 11: They have no money left for fire training, for wildfire preparedness.
Speaker 11: That DEI they've got the wrong people in charge. And
Speaker 11: of course let's add in the other big one in California,
Speaker 11: environmental extremism. They don't clear the brush, and they don't
Speaker 11: do what needs to be done, like build new reservoirs.
Speaker 11: Not one new one since nineteen seventy nine. No, many
Speaker 11: people have moved into California since nineteen seventy nine without
Speaker 11: any new extra water. And every year they have massive
Speaker 11: rainstorms and flooding, and yet there's no water because they
Speaker 11: let it all run into the ocean. And this time
Speaker 11: there was an empty reservoir in Pacific Palisades and the
Speaker 11: story was it was empty for like two weeks and
Speaker 11: it was just bad luck. Well, last night I'm having
Speaker 11: dinner bill in Las Vegas with two friends of mine
Speaker 11: who lived part time in Vegas, part time in pack Palisades,
Speaker 11: and they told me that their daughter went hiking a
Speaker 11: year ago at the top of this hill where you
Speaker 11: could see into that reservoir, and they said, one year
Speaker 11: ago it was empty. And today the article just came out.
Speaker 11: It hasn't been empty for two weeks. It's been empty
Speaker 11: for a year. There's been no water in the main
Speaker 11: reservoir to put the fires out for a year. So
Speaker 11: you know in the hydrants the water pressure is no good.
Speaker 11: Because if you spend all your money in illegals, then
Speaker 11: you're not spending money to fix and upgrade your infrastructure.
Speaker 11: The pipes need to be fixed, the hydrants need to
Speaker 11: be fixed, reservoirs need to be built. This is insanity.
Speaker 11: And now you see the result of putting the wrong
Speaker 11: people in charge, having the wrong ideas about environmental streamism.
Speaker 11: And most importantly, I guess spending all your money on illegals,
Speaker 11: and you could even throw in a little something else.
Speaker 11: I saw today that almost all the highest paid public
Speaker 11: servants in Los Angeles our fire captains, making seven hundred
Speaker 11: thousand years. What if you instead of paying them seven
Speaker 11: hundred grand a year, what if instead you hired more
Speaker 11: firemen at fifty thousand year and you got twenty extra firemen,
Speaker 11: so forget. They also fired hundreds of firemen in California
Speaker 11: in LA for not taking the COVID vaccine. Now, how
Speaker 11: many houses could you have saved with an extra three
Speaker 11: four hundred firemen that you fired because ooh they got
Speaker 11: cooties they didn't take the COVID vaccine. These people are crazy,
Speaker 11: They're mentally ill, and they've just destroyed a wonderful city.
Speaker 11: I mean, I loved LA when I got there, I
Speaker 11: thought it was the greatest place to live, you know,
Speaker 11: in nineteen eighty nine, when I got there, I just
Speaker 11: thought I found heaven. And then I raced away from
Speaker 11: it because I thought the liberal crazies have ruined it.
Speaker 11: And that was twenty three years ago. It's only gotten worse.
Speaker 5: The n away LA route.
Speaker 4: I had last week on some executives, those in the
Speaker 4: know from New Orleans, and they have a similar mayor
Speaker 4: named LaToya Cantrell who's completely incompetent. The chief of police
Speaker 4: there looks like she's an actress from Beverly Hillbillies. And
Speaker 4: over the years we've dealt with the idiocy of Jacob Fry,
Speaker 4: the mayor of Minneapolis. He was the guy that rolled
Speaker 4: over and played dead, let them burn down police precincts
Speaker 4: in Minneapolis. He's a white guy. Karen Bass, of course,
Speaker 4: Mike Johnston of Denver, the mayor there, he's a left
Speaker 4: roing radical extremist. He also is handing out money hanover
Speaker 4: fist to homeless and etc. Mayor Brandon Johnson in Chicago
Speaker 4: is a complete joke. And Kamala Harris herself is a
Speaker 4: perfect example of DEI Now. Richard Grennell worked for years
Speaker 4: for Donald Trump. He was an ambassador, acting director of
Speaker 4: d and I.
Speaker 1: He's gay.
Speaker 4: No problem, Justice Judge Janis Rogers, brilliant, Condaleza Rice is
Speaker 4: not about race?
Speaker 5: What's about his competency that I ermantine?
Speaker 11: I don't care if you're black, it's brilliant, it's great, right,
Speaker 11: But if you're black and dumb or white and dumb,
Speaker 11: I don't want you running my city or my fire department.
Speaker 11: If you're lesbian, dumb, I don't want you run in
Speaker 11: my fire department. And it turns out the lesbian fire
Speaker 11: chief first one in the history of la who hired
Speaker 11: a lesbian black number twospia chief whose entire goal of
Speaker 11: life is DEI literally said, we're getting rid of all
Speaker 11: the old white guys who are racist. And these people
Speaker 11: are not smart their entire life. They got jobs because
Speaker 11: they're black, because they're women. Nobody ever bothered to check
Speaker 11: their credentials. I'm sure there was someone who was black
Speaker 11: or white, or gay or straight who had better credentials,
Speaker 11: but they hired them because the color of their skin.
Speaker 11: They're raised, their creed, you know, their sexual orientation. It's insanity.
Speaker 11: And I'll tell you one more thing. I didn't mention
Speaker 11: that that, of course this Mayor Karen Bass cut seventeen
Speaker 11: million for the fire department budget, and then a week
Speaker 11: before this ever happened, she also asked for another forty
Speaker 11: plus million dollar cut. I think it was forty nine
Speaker 11: million she wanted to cut just a week before this happened.
Speaker 11: If you give all your money away to illegals, this
Speaker 11: is what happens, you have no money left for what
Speaker 11: you need to do, which is train You know, because
Speaker 11: I was in LA so many years, I know what
Speaker 11: happens in California, and general at LA and specific Bill.
Speaker 11: There's three things that plague LA since the beginning of time.
Speaker 11: Wildfires and then immediately after the wildfire, terrible mud slides,
Speaker 11: and then earthquakes. And you've got to prepare for them.
Speaker 11: And no one has spent a dime on any of
Speaker 11: that because they're too busy coddling illegals and giving illegals
Speaker 11: everything they want, from free college to public school, free
Speaker 11: to welfare to free healthcare. It's a free housing allowance.
Speaker 11: It's insanity.
Speaker 4: Well, you add homelessness, drug use in public, massive smash
Speaker 4: and grab robberies. The LA public school system is a
Speaker 4: complete meltdown. I read a report from Mail Times at
Speaker 4: seventy five percent of the black boys in the LA
Speaker 4: school system are chronically absent from schools. Defund the police
Speaker 4: their two thousand cops short, they're seven hundred firefighters short.
Speaker 4: They have transgender houses erected for those who are homeless.
Speaker 4: They have dei upwards and downwards. So one of the
Speaker 4: assistant chiefs said, why don't you hire some more men
Speaker 4: who can carry people out of buildings, possibly one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty pounds down a ladder. And she said, well,
Speaker 4: that person shouldn't have put themselves there in the first place.
Speaker 5: We don't do that right And.
Speaker 11: That statement I saw that, Yeah, that statement should put
Speaker 11: her fired a b banned from ever holding any sort
Speaker 11: of role in any fire department of the United States ever. Again,
Speaker 11: she said, you're in the wrong place, of the wrong time,
Speaker 11: off you need rescuing by a female. Firefighters can't carry
Speaker 11: you out. I mean, that's so disgusting and disgraceful, it's
Speaker 11: beyond belief. Don't forget another couple issues. My buddies live
Speaker 11: in LA lots of them still. Someone go back and
Speaker 11: forths to Vegas and they're making the transition and they're
Speaker 11: opening gain out of LA full time. But in the
Speaker 11: meantime they've got a house in both places. And they
Speaker 11: tell me that if you watch city council meetings in
Speaker 11: La bill eighty percent of the time of the city
Speaker 11: council is spent on only two issues, illegals and homelessness
Speaker 11: and the homeless. That's it. That's all they think about.
Speaker 11: Twenty four hours a day when they should be thinking
Speaker 11: about real productive citizens, taxpayers. And how do you prepare
Speaker 11: for the next firestorm, the next mud slide, and the
Speaker 11: next earthquake? And by the way, it's coming, you know,
Speaker 11: is I guarantee you by April there will be massive
Speaker 11: rains in LA and there will be massive mud slides
Speaker 11: in all the areas that just suffered this horrendous you
Speaker 11: know firestorm. These are all predictable things. They happen every year.
Speaker 11: And how I throw in one more Democrats caddo terrorists
Speaker 11: and terrorism. How do you know these fires are natural?
Speaker 11: How do you know they're not started by terrorists? This
Speaker 11: could be a way to destroy our country. I don't
Speaker 11: know about the first one, the very first spark of
Speaker 11: the first fire impact Palisades, I don't know. It may
Speaker 11: have been a down line. But since then there have
Speaker 11: been fires all over the city, and they've caught people
Speaker 11: with blow torches in their hands. They've caught illegal alien
Speaker 11: gangs robbing holmes, including Kamala Harris's mansion in Brentwood, and
Speaker 11: so a lot of this may be intentional arson to
Speaker 11: create havoc and crisis and maybe distract them while they
Speaker 11: rob people's houses, or maybe it's Islamic extremists looking destroy
Speaker 11: our country, or Chinese military age males which we've let
Speaker 11: in by the hundreds of thousands through the open border,
Speaker 11: who may be under order from China to create crisis
Speaker 11: throughout our country, so we don't pay attention to China
Speaker 11: attacking Taiwan, which I believe is going to happen very soon.
Speaker 4: Well, in addition to that, the Sacramento General Assembly Sacramento
Speaker 4: was convened the last few days talking about how to
Speaker 4: combat Donald Trump. And already I see a senators are
Speaker 4: saying it's Donald Trump's fault. What's happening, despite the fact
Speaker 4: that California is blue?
Speaker 5: Is blue?
Speaker 4: Can hey, they're gonna blame Donald Trump on anything. But
Speaker 4: a reporter pushed back and said, is that the right
Speaker 4: time to deal with Donald Trump? When the city of
Speaker 4: La the city of Angels is on fire? And the
Speaker 4: Speaker of the House in Sacramento couldn't answer the question
Speaker 4: because he was stymied by an objective reporter that asked
Speaker 4: a question. And I thought, what Wayne Allen rue is
Speaker 4: their hope because I've read some say, well, we need
Speaker 4: to take over.
Speaker 5: Who's we taking over? California. Yeah, is federal control.
Speaker 11: Why, here's another issue.
Speaker 10: Here's another issue that everyone has to think about.
Speaker 11: So let's just assume this is all by mistake. Let's
Speaker 11: assume this was not purposeful. It's not the intentional destruction
Speaker 11: of the United States. Let's assume it's not another Maui.
Speaker 11: Let's assume it's not another western North Carolina mountains where
Speaker 11: they just let everybody die, they let everybody freeze the
Speaker 11: death intents in the middle of the winter. FEMA doesn't help.
Speaker 11: If you've got a Trump flag and foot in your house,
Speaker 11: they won't help you. Let's assume none of this is
Speaker 11: intentional and a fire is natural made, not man made. Well,
Speaker 11: wait till the LA homeowners find out that. Number One,
Speaker 11: it takes five to ten years to get approval from
Speaker 11: the Coastal Commission to rebuild your home. So a lot
Speaker 11: of people who are in pack palisades are sixty and over,
Speaker 11: seventy and over, They're going to be dead before they
Speaker 11: ever get back at a home in their community. Number Two,
Speaker 11: you may never get approval from the crazy environmentalists of
Speaker 11: the California Coastal Commission. Number Three, if your home was
Speaker 11: worth three million dollars, which the average home in Packed
Speaker 11: Palisades was based on the insane strict requirements of the
Speaker 11: California Coastal Commission. To rebuild that three million dollar house
Speaker 11: is going to cost you maybe five or six or
Speaker 11: seven million dollars. No one's going to have the money
Speaker 11: to rebuild unless you're super rich. And where will you
Speaker 11: find a contractor to rebuild these thousands of homestead of
Speaker 11: burn out? So who's going to get the contractor? Whoever
Speaker 11: offers the most ridiculous money, which means again, the rich
Speaker 11: are good and the poor. Forget the poor, but the
Speaker 11: middle class and upper middle class screwed over and the
Speaker 11: world is running just for the super rich in LA,
Speaker 11: where will you find fire insurance? Ever, again, they couldn't
Speaker 11: even get it before the fire. Wait till after the fire.
Speaker 11: There will be none available unless you want to spend
Speaker 11: two hundred fifty thousand a year for your house, which
Speaker 11: means only the rich will be able to afford to
Speaker 11: live there. And last, but not least, how about your
Speaker 11: property taxes. Let's just say under or listen. Prop thirteen
Speaker 11: in California holds your taxes the same as long as
Speaker 11: you live in the house so if you lived in
Speaker 11: the house forty years, it might only be one thousand
Speaker 11: dollars a year. But the minute you rebuild the house
Speaker 11: or sell it. But if you rebuild it, it resets
Speaker 11: as if you have a new house. So now your
Speaker 11: taxes go from a thousand year to fifty thousand a year.
Speaker 11: So everybody who is in superrich and everybody who is
Speaker 11: over the age of sixty is going to find out
Speaker 11: they are locked out of the market. They will never
Speaker 11: be able to have that house again, they will never
Speaker 11: live in that neighbood again, and they're gonna have to
Speaker 11: go find a smaller house in a smaller neighbood or
Speaker 11: leave the state of California. Everybody's life has changed dramatically.
Speaker 5: Including the tax base. I can't imagine.
Speaker 4: Of course they'll come up, they'll just run more budget deficits.
Speaker 4: Right now in Sacramento it's about fifty billion dollars a
Speaker 4: year as far as I can see, with budget deficits
Speaker 4: borrowing in the future to payoff present bills, but wipe
Speaker 4: out large parts of Los Angeles, which is one of
Speaker 4: the functional parts paying taxes. In that case, Sacramento won't
Speaker 4: have the money, and it's all about it's all about DEI.
Speaker 4: It's by getting someone of the right race, the right genda,
Speaker 4: the right sexual orientation to do a job instead of
Speaker 4: by merit, by hiring the best person available.
Speaker 5: They don't do that.
Speaker 4: And why take over a state completely dysfunctional, is completely
Speaker 4: destroyed if the residents, the citizens, the voters themselves won't
Speaker 4: fundamentally change back to the days of Ronald Reagan that
Speaker 4: had a functional California Republic. At this point, Let's face it, Wayne,
Speaker 4: California's done done, Chicago done.
Speaker 5: I look at all the major cities done. Or New
Speaker 5: York's done, you know done?
Speaker 7: Well there also, look anyone.
Speaker 11: Who's got a Democrat running the show, Docrats in the
Speaker 11: town council.
Speaker 1: You're done.
Speaker 11: It's over. Thank god, we have Trump running the country,
Speaker 11: but he can't change the future of an LA or
Speaker 11: a San Francisco, or New York or Chicago. Those cities
Speaker 11: are not gonna be for any normal working people ever again.
Speaker 11: And by the way, if you're a taxpayer, you pay
Speaker 11: into the system. You've got to be crazy to stay
Speaker 11: in a high tax state like California. You know, I
Speaker 11: moved from California, where the highest tax rate now is
Speaker 11: fourteen point four percent. But if you make even eighty
Speaker 11: thousand a year, like most firemen do as an example,
Speaker 11: you're gonna you're paying nine point I think it's nine
Speaker 11: point three percent state income tax. You moved to Las Vegas,
Speaker 11: your income tax is zero zero with anyone stay in California.
Speaker 11: It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: Ever.
Speaker 11: Again, they're in big trouble. They're gonna have to keep
Speaker 11: raising taxes, and the rich and anyone who can is
Speaker 11: gonna leave. And all that's gonna be left the visious
Speaker 11: cycle is people at welfare and illegal aliens.
Speaker 7: That's gonna be the whole state went on the route.
Speaker 4: Thank you very much Root for America dot com. Your
Speaker 4: stories are great and all I can say is thanks
Speaker 4: again for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Imagine where
Speaker 4: we would be if Kamala Harris was taking the oath
Speaker 4: of office in about a week. That's a different story.
Speaker 4: I got to run way up against the clock.
Speaker 12: You got it.
Speaker 11: Have a great day, Happy New Year. You have to
Speaker 11: say that, Happy New Year, God blessed. I'll be at
Speaker 11: the inauguration. Trust the President. We're gonna be okay. We
Speaker 11: don't live in la We're gonna be okay, be good.
Speaker 5: Root for America dot Com. Thank you.
Speaker 4: I let's continue with more things look a bit dark white.
Speaker 4: Take over a city or state federally when the residents
Speaker 4: and the voters have ruined it and won't change. Bill
Speaker 4: Cunningham with You Every Sunday Night. I Billy Cunningham, the
Speaker 4: Great American. Hear from Wayne On on the rude. A day
Speaker 4: without rude is a day without sunshine. The guy makes
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of sense all the time, never fails
Speaker 4: to deliver the goods. And and some have said, well,
Speaker 4: how about the Feds taking over? How about Donald Trump
Speaker 4: taking over California?
Speaker 5: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: God helps those who help themselves. Until the voters say
Speaker 4: we can't take this anymore, nothing's going to change. Stay
Speaker 4: tuned from more coming up next to Dan Schneider from
Speaker 4: NewsBusters dot Org. Bill Cunningham with You Every Sunday Night.
Speaker 5: By Billy Cunningham, The Great American.
Speaker 4: Dan Schneider's with Media Research Center, my good friend Brent
Speaker 4: Bozel's grouping around for a long time, also Executive vice
Speaker 4: president of NewsBusters, Etc. That chronicles what the mainstream media
Speaker 4: feeds into the minds of the American people, Welcome again
Speaker 4: to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, before
Speaker 4: we deal with the car, before we deal with the
Speaker 4: California incompetent wildfires, before we deal with all that, there's
Speaker 4: a movement of foot to have Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 4: has said something that made a lot of sense, and
Speaker 4: the mainstream media hates it. They don't like the idea
Speaker 4: of a fact checking because it's their facts to being
Speaker 4: checked and not anyone else's. So can you tell the
Speaker 4: American people how Facebook now with Zuckerberg is going to
Speaker 4: do pretty much what Twitter x is doing presently.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Bill.
Speaker 9: The thing that this really reminds me most of is is,
Speaker 9: you know the late eighties and when the barbed wire
Speaker 9: started to get rolled up in Czechoslovakia, and Czechoslovakia was
Speaker 9: saying we're no longer a puppet of the Soviet Union
Speaker 9: than Hungary and eventually the Berlin walking down. And when
Speaker 9: I saw that barbed wire first in Czechoslovakia, I thought,
Speaker 9: this can't be happening, Kenn, Is it true? It can't
Speaker 9: be true. It's similar here Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook. They've
Speaker 9: been part of the enemy cohort on silent and conservatives
Speaker 9: They've been the leader of it at different times. Google
Speaker 9: right now is the leader of it. But then suddenly
Speaker 9: Mark Zuckerberg is rolling up the barbed wire. He's saying,
Speaker 9: we're no longer part of the evil empire. I support
Speaker 9: free speech, and he's actually making he's making decisions that
Speaker 9: reflect that reality. You know, no longer is the COO
Speaker 9: Cheryl Sandberg And I almost had a dirty word that
Speaker 9: FCC would not permit me to say. Cheryl something Sandberg.
Speaker 9: You know, she is a radical lefty. She's no longer
Speaker 9: the COO. And Nick Clegg, former Labor Party head in
Speaker 9: the United Kingdom, he's no longer the number three person.
Speaker 9: They've been replaced by Republicans. What but yes, and then
Speaker 9: the fact that Checkers' so called Soros funded fact checkers,
Speaker 9: they all woke up Tuesday morning to discover their contract
Speaker 9: has all been terminated, every last one of them. I mean,
Speaker 9: it is the barbed wire being rolled up.
Speaker 4: You know, when you say that, I think the guy
Speaker 4: in charge at Czechoslovakia at that point was a guy
Speaker 4: named dupe Check, and Dupcheck decided, let's roll up the
Speaker 4: barbed wire, let's open up the border and see what
Speaker 4: happens is the USSR.
Speaker 5: Are we going to be obliterated?
Speaker 4: And the answer was no, and then it rippled all
Speaker 4: across Europe. And so Zuckerberg gives a million dollars to
Speaker 4: Donald Trump for the inaugural. Zuckerberg does his online speech
Speaker 4: that hell you made or I could have made. It's
Speaker 4: about letting people decide for themselves in a free society
Speaker 4: what is and what is not relevant to their lives.
Speaker 4: And I'm watching Mark Zuckerberg do this and he kind
Speaker 4: of reminded me of of Duke Check.
Speaker 5: We got a new dupe check.
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, no, no, just to make sure people know
Speaker 9: I'm not a sick fanta like I don't get paid
Speaker 9: a penny by my mortal enemy Facebook. But he has
Speaker 9: not merely said I'd now sport priest. He has vowed,
Speaker 9: he has pledged that he's going to fight the European Union,
Speaker 9: He's going to fight the Chinese and others that are
Speaker 9: trying to censor speech. Now that's still not good enough.
Speaker 9: He needs to make restitution. Oh, Facebook and all the
Speaker 9: meta companies, they have really really harmed conservatives, conservative organizations.
Speaker 9: We are still calling for them to make restitution for
Speaker 9: their harm.
Speaker 4: How about reparations. We need reparations. Can I get it?
Speaker 4: Can I get a check? I need reparation.
Speaker 1: This is real.
Speaker 9: There are a lot of people who lost their jobs.
Speaker 9: A lot of conservative media outlets went under this is
Speaker 9: this is real, and every American citizen had their voices
Speaker 9: squelched by this, and every American citizen was denied knowledge
Speaker 9: like about the Hunter Biden laptop story. You know, they
Speaker 9: caused serious harm and Facebook needs to needs to atone
Speaker 9: for its sins. But we can still celebrate the fact
Speaker 9: that they've come to our side of the aisle on
Speaker 9: this issue.
Speaker 4: Dan Schneider, Media Research Center, I asked you a question,
Speaker 4: is this real or is this memorys? A year or
Speaker 4: two into the Trump presidency, and God knows, right now,
Speaker 4: there's peace everywhere. There may not be a lot of
Speaker 4: riots on January the twentieth. Madonna may not show up
Speaker 4: to blow up the White House. There may not be
Speaker 4: a bunch of pea hats running around talking and screaming,
Speaker 4: hollering and shouting about my vagina.
Speaker 5: And maybe that stuff will not happen.
Speaker 4: But do you believe in your harder hearts after two
Speaker 4: or three years, if you and I get back together
Speaker 4: hopefully more often between now and then that actually Mark
Speaker 4: Zuckerberger of Facebook will be fair, reasonable and support the
Speaker 4: First Amendment. Will you say the same thing in two
Speaker 4: years from now, after two years of the Trump presidency,
Speaker 4: what do you say?
Speaker 9: Look, I might be proven naive indullible two or three
Speaker 9: years from now, but yeah, I think this is real.
Speaker 9: I think this is a real commitment to this cause. Now,
Speaker 9: there are a couple of things I'm going to be
Speaker 9: looking for to determine whether I'm just naivendullible. You know,
Speaker 9: Will Facebook pull itself out of the trade association called
Speaker 9: net Choice. This is their lobby arm, it's their legal arm. Well,
Speaker 9: Facebook pull out of net Choice and no longer advocate
Speaker 9: in the court for censorship. If they pull out a
Speaker 9: net Choice, that is a serious that serious evidence that
Speaker 9: I'm right that this is real. If they don't pull
Speaker 9: out a net Choice, then it starts to look it
Speaker 9: starts to look faker, It kind of starts to look
Speaker 9: short term.
Speaker 4: And Dan Schneider, to whom does credit belong? And I think,
Speaker 4: in a sense, ultimately it's the American people. It's the
Speaker 4: seventy seven million people that voted for Donald Trump. In fact,
Speaker 4: in the last three times he's run, He's received a
Speaker 4: total of about two hundred and twenty million votes in
Speaker 4: sixteen twenty twenty four. But in the most recent election,
Speaker 4: there was a stark choice between the California way of
Speaker 4: doing things or the common man every man, which is
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's way of doing things, the heartland and the
Speaker 4: heartland one over California and New York. In fact, there's
Speaker 4: not one county in New York who had more votes
Speaker 4: for Kamala Harrison the head for Joe Biden. And if
Speaker 4: you look at a map, there's more red counties in
Speaker 4: New York State and California voting for the for Trumpton
Speaker 4: there was for Biden or Kamala Harris. But do you
Speaker 4: give credit mainly to the American people or some other
Speaker 4: person or source?
Speaker 9: Bill, It is no surprise that you are spot on.
Speaker 9: You are spot on. I've been concerned for a long time,
Speaker 9: and I still remain concerned that this whole experiment and
Speaker 9: representational democracy is coming to an end. Will the American
Speaker 9: public rise up against these woke mobsters and take our
Speaker 9: country back? It looked almost hopeless for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 9: cancel culture and everything was just crushing everybody, and I
Speaker 9: just I didn't know if this experiment was done. But
Speaker 9: it is the American public that rose up and said enough.
Speaker 9: And it's not just those who voted for Trump, those
Speaker 9: who voted against Trump. I would say maybe half of
Speaker 9: those who voted against Trump still are going to acknowledge
Speaker 9: that the woke mob went too far and there's got
Speaker 9: to be a reckoning and a pulling back of those
Speaker 9: extreme excesses. And here's my evidence of that. After Zuckerberg
Speaker 9: told all of his employees that their fact checker colleague
Speaker 9: are done and that there's no more censorship on the platform,
Speaker 9: and there give me some other big announcements. The next
Speaker 9: couple of weeks after he told them all this, not
Speaker 9: a single person has walked out in protest, not a
Speaker 9: single person quit. Even those wokesters out in Silicon Valley understand.
Speaker 9: Today is a different day. The world has changed. Their
Speaker 9: excesses have been curtailed.
Speaker 5: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 9: It's a new day. It's a new day in America.
Speaker 4: I'm a skeptic, I'm a Saint Thomas kind of a guy.
Speaker 4: I went a wait a year or two because when
Speaker 4: I watched the video of Mark Zuckerberger.
Speaker 5: I rewounded what listen to it? Watched the two or
Speaker 5: three more times.
Speaker 4: It was it's so bad in twenty seventeen that James
Speaker 4: call me and his band of the FBI thought it
Speaker 4: was okay to wiretap the president of the United States,
Speaker 4: wiretap the transmission, to have illegal warrens being issued, and
Speaker 4: to go after General Flynn and Trump directly and to
Speaker 4: ruin the first two years of his presidency. They were
Speaker 4: so confident they would find something that would be expanded
Speaker 4: into a crime that they did this, even rated the
Speaker 4: President's home and threw Maloney's underwear all over the carpeting
Speaker 4: and positioned all the secret documents in a way that
Speaker 4: make it look like he was a complete fool and
Speaker 4: an idiot. They had so much confidence in their success
Speaker 4: they raided Donald Trump's personal residence with a bunch of bs,
Speaker 4: They suppressed the laptop, They committed law fair against the
Speaker 4: Russian collusion delusion. They were so certain they would win
Speaker 4: that guess what they did all that to Donald Trump
Speaker 4: and his friends, and dited his lawyers, and dited his consultant,
Speaker 4: and died at the White House chief of Staff, knowing
Speaker 4: that they'd be protected in the end and now they're
Speaker 4: bear and they're saying, are you kidding me?
Speaker 5: And that's how confident they were.
Speaker 9: And don't forget. They attacked Catholics, they attacked parents of
Speaker 9: k through twelve students. They have attacked all of America.
Speaker 9: They attacked individual rights. They tried to crush this entire
Speaker 9: system of government. They tried to replace themselves, you know,
Speaker 9: try to replace the American people with themselves, and they failed.
Speaker 9: And please God, let's get let's get our new leadership
Speaker 9: over DOJ right away. There's got to be a reckoning.
Speaker 9: Those people have to pay the price for their illegal,
Speaker 9: criminal and unconstitutional conduct.
Speaker 4: And this is on top of if you take the
Speaker 4: three sentinels of liberalism progressivism, Chicago, take Illinois, Take New
Speaker 4: York State, Take New York City, Take California with all
Speaker 4: the wildfires.
Speaker 5: Look at the incompetence. In New York State.
Speaker 4: You have the you have the governor Hockel is going
Speaker 4: to charge people like three thousand dollars per year simply
Speaker 4: to drive a car on Manhattan three thousand bucks. As
Speaker 4: she's giving away in New York State money about a
Speaker 4: billion dollars a year to illegal aliens who are getting
Speaker 4: there being wined, dined in, pocket lined all over New
Speaker 4: York City. Some eighty thousand are getting checks in the mail,
Speaker 4: but New Yorkers have to pay just to drive a
Speaker 4: car onto the island. You have in the subway system,
Speaker 4: women set on fire men, jump jumping tolls, repeatedly throwing
Speaker 4: people onto the train tracks. Murders in the subway system.
Speaker 4: In New York City's up sixty percent crime is through the roof.
Speaker 4: Throw on top of that the city of Chicago, and
Speaker 4: that the mayor there has an eighteen percent approval factor.
Speaker 4: This city of Chicago's upside down, all their pensions, that
Speaker 4: no one wants to be a cop. Throw in California.
Speaker 4: Throw in what happened with Karen Bass. She's in Africa
Speaker 4: celebrating a Gananese president as her city's literally burning. They're
Speaker 4: on an ocean. They're on an ocean, and they have
Speaker 4: no water because of the incompetence of Los Angeles City Council.
Speaker 4: Do you see a new berth in America? Dan Schneider,
Speaker 4: do you see a new berth as I do? Or
Speaker 4: is this all something? Is this a mirage what I'm
Speaker 4: watching here?
Speaker 9: You know, Bill, let's have a moment of silence. As
Speaker 9: we list all of the accomplishments, the positive accomplishments of
Speaker 9: Democrats over the last four years. There that's the list
Speaker 9: of positive accomplishments.
Speaker 4: Southern border deficits out of whack completely, crime is rampant,
Speaker 4: California's burning.
Speaker 5: New York is a complete crisis.
Speaker 4: We're giving money to the Ukrainians billions of dollars keep
Speaker 4: a war going with Israel under attack. We have the
Speaker 4: North Koreans ready to attack the South Koreans. We have
Speaker 4: China flying bombers over the top of Taiwan. We have
Speaker 4: crises upon crises upon crises. And none of this was
Speaker 4: fairly and objectively independently reported by any of the mainstream media.
Speaker 5: They ignored it.
Speaker 4: I reached some of the items on your website about
Speaker 4: ninety nine percent of the guest on late night comedy
Speaker 4: shows and aren't funding anymore Liberals. Eighty eight percent or
Speaker 4: more of the reporting on all of the Trump nominees
Speaker 4: are all negative about the mainstream media. And I'm watching
Speaker 4: this and I'm surprised. Are you still shocked that Trump
Speaker 4: won against all this?
Speaker 5: This is unbelieva.
Speaker 9: You know, I didn't know how the election was going
Speaker 9: to go. I didn't know if the American people had
Speaker 9: had enough. I was nervous. Bill. The first time people
Speaker 9: came together to form a government to govern themselves was
Speaker 9: ancient ascents. The second time was in seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 9: This form of representational democracy has already outlasted the first
Speaker 9: attempt twofold. And I didn't know if we were coming
Speaker 9: to an end. And you know, thank god, we are
Speaker 9: not coordinating. Queen Commel in a couple of weeks, you know,
Speaker 9: that would have been the end of us. But the
Speaker 9: American people said no more.
Speaker 11: I have.
Speaker 9: I have renewed hope that this system of government and
Speaker 9: our freedom might still endure a while longer. But it
Speaker 9: takes all of us every day fighting for freedom, fighting
Speaker 9: for democracy, because what you know, this is not the
Speaker 9: natural order of things in world history. The natural order
Speaker 9: is a king telling everybody what to do. We have
Speaker 9: to work to preserve our freedom. We let down, we
Speaker 9: let go, we died.
Speaker 4: You know last I gave a speech the other day
Speaker 4: for a Supreme Court justice in Ohio. My good friend
Speaker 4: Joe Dieters, who was an elevator to the seat, and
Speaker 4: I made the comment that we're the only country on
Speaker 4: earth the only one that has rights given by God,
Speaker 4: and that governments are instituted among men in order to
Speaker 4: secure the rights given by God Almighty. In every other government,
Speaker 4: all of our rights come from government, and the government
Speaker 4: that gives you those rights can take away those rights.
Speaker 4: But not here in America. And if we were in
Speaker 4: a few days going to commemorate the Kamala Harris presidency
Speaker 4: with the adoring coverage of the media that she would
Speaker 4: have gotten, and if she had eight years in office,
Speaker 4: in order to solidify, to cement the lack of descent
Speaker 4: in this country, the ability of media types to freely speak,
Speaker 4: and the idea that Catholics need to be investigated, that
Speaker 4: the southern border has got to be more wide open,
Speaker 4: that we have to pay out more money to illegals
Speaker 4: and shouldn't be here, that the crime on the streets
Speaker 4: will become cemented into a perpetuity. I'm not sure we
Speaker 4: could have survived. Imagine if she had won and in
Speaker 4: twenty thirty two Kamala Harris left office, Dan Schneider, what
Speaker 4: does American look like?
Speaker 9: Who's to say she would have left office in twenty
Speaker 9: thirty two. Yeah, you know, it's that truly our system
Speaker 9: of government would have come to an end.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9: People couldn't understand why she was not actually articulating her
Speaker 9: policy views during the campaign. It's because she didn't want
Speaker 9: to tell anybody what she was going to do, because
Speaker 9: she was going to do crazy things. We already know
Speaker 9: the kind of crazy things she's going to do because
Speaker 9: they've been doing it. We're just about to release the
Speaker 9: report of one hundred and thirty different and censorship initiatives
Speaker 9: in the Biden Harris administration. One hundred and thirty different
Speaker 9: ways our taxpayer dollars were being used to crush the Well,
Speaker 9: you know this is stalinistic kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: Well, Dan Schneider, what would have happened as that? Bernie
Speaker 4: Sanders said it several months ago that a reporter asked,
Speaker 4: Bernie Sanders, the literal socialist from Vermont, are you concerned
Speaker 4: about Kamala Harris is seemingly changing her position from the
Speaker 4: California comments today? He kind of bound and said, no,
Speaker 4: I'm not concerned about what she says because I know
Speaker 4: what she's going to do.
Speaker 5: And that was Senator.
Speaker 4: That was Senator Bernie Sanders said, just get elected and
Speaker 4: then we're going to solidify the socialism that was creeping
Speaker 4: and now is in retreat. But if Trump only serves
Speaker 4: four years and then we go back to Kamala Harris
Speaker 4: or god forbid, Gavin Newsom or someone Pritzker the governor
Speaker 4: of Illinois, then we're back at it again. We need
Speaker 4: eight to twelve years of my good friend Jady Vance
Speaker 4: from the great state of Ohio after that. But Dan Sneyder,
Speaker 4: we got a run once again. It's a wonderful site
Speaker 4: which is NewsBusters dot Org MRC Media rese Center once
Speaker 4: again keep hope alive. We have hope at least for
Speaker 4: the next four years, hopefully for the next twelve. And
Speaker 4: Dan Schneider, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Dan. Thanks Bill, God bless America. Let's continue
Speaker 5: with more. Wow.
Speaker 4: And if you happen to see the some of the
Speaker 4: body language at the Carter funeral, you know, the disgust
Speaker 4: and hatred among Democrats for Democrats much less Trump.
Speaker 5: Let's continue with more.
Speaker 4: Bill Cunningham, the Grand American, live with you every Sunday night.
Speaker 4: All right, Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Dan Schneider, NewsBusters
Speaker 4: dot Org have the website up, and you can only
Speaker 4: imagine if a Republican was in charge of the city
Speaker 4: of Los Angeles, which is in today's political climate, would
Speaker 4: be impossible, or Republican was the governor of California, which
Speaker 4: today is impossible, how the media would deal with Gavin
Speaker 4: Newsom and Karen this is a good name, Karen Bass
Speaker 4: be completely different. When it's a Democrat, they pull their punches.
Speaker 4: When it's a Republican they use hooks and claws. And
Speaker 4: right now, according NewsBusters dot Org, which is my last guest,
Speaker 4: Dan Schneider's main website, NBC Softball Interview aims to rehab
Speaker 4: Governor Newsom into looking confident, getting ready, of course, for
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty eight presidential race. See the Media Believes it,
Speaker 4: Believe it or not? Once Gavin Newson to be the
Speaker 4: nominee of the Democrat Party because of his hair gel
Speaker 4: and he's got a nice smile. What about his confidence?
Speaker 5: Does that matter?
Speaker 4: Absolutely not. The d solves all kinds of difficulties. Coming
Speaker 4: up next to Christen Briggs's written to column about the
Speaker 4: financial health of this great country and what's happening in
Speaker 4: San Francisco and what's happening in Los Angeles certainly provides
Speaker 4: a more difficulties. As Wail on the Root said, imagine
Speaker 4: the expenses of homelessness, drug addiction, and illegal aliens and more.
Speaker 4: Don't counting into grant American with you and all other
Speaker 4: great Americans. Of course, every Sunday.
Speaker 2: Night, Willie brought you by Choice Hotels, Acono Lodge and
Speaker 2: Roadway In Hotels are serving up double points for every
Speaker 2: qualifying stay book at choice hotels dot com.
Speaker 3: Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best,
Speaker 3: the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards
Speaker 3: for he is broadcast Exodence, the one and only Bill cunning.
Speaker 5: Have Bill Cunningham, the Great American.
Speaker 4: Of course, economically, we look for a revitalization when Trump
Speaker 4: takes office on January the twentieth.
Speaker 5: It's going to be a slow haul.
Speaker 4: But one of the great concerns many Americans have and
Speaker 4: many economists have, is something called bricks. Now you may
Speaker 4: think bricks are something you put on the house, but
Speaker 4: bricks refers to a loose organization of five or six
Speaker 4: great economies Brazil and Russia, India, China and South Africa,
Speaker 4: and more indicative willingness to join and this would be
Speaker 4: like a second alternative source of economic strength around the world,
Speaker 4: and it would mean that the American dollar would not
Speaker 4: be a reserve currency, which is a really big deal.
Speaker 4: Joining you and I now is Kristin Briggs is the
Speaker 4: CEO of Hard Asset Management. Kristin Briggs. Welcome, I think
Speaker 4: for the first time to the Bill Cunningham Show. And
Speaker 4: first of all, did I set it up correctly that Bricks,
Speaker 4: especially with China being involved with Brazil and Russia, India,
Speaker 4: South Africa, is a mortal danger to the economic health
Speaker 4: of the United States of America.
Speaker 12: It's exactly right, and you pose a really good point here.
Speaker 12: Bricks is trying to undermine the financial stability the United States.
Speaker 12: If it wasn't such a problem, and if it wasn't
Speaker 12: literally on the top of Trump's list, he would not
Speaker 12: have come out in swinging on this one. Instead, one
Speaker 12: hundred percent tariffs on anybody who undermines the US dollar.
Speaker 1: And puts it as second class citizen.
Speaker 12: The thing that you've got to realize is of the
Speaker 12: original five countries, which have strong economics in their own right,
Speaker 12: but together the Bricks nations now which are about seventeen
Speaker 12: countries from the original two thousand and nine at the
Speaker 12: gate to today. The biggest change, I would say was
Speaker 12: the UAE United Arab Emirates joined, which is seven countries
Speaker 12: Abu Dhabi and Dubai and so.
Speaker 1: Forth, has a lot of oil impact. Iran now as
Speaker 1: part of BRICKS.
Speaker 12: So what you've got here as a coalition of countries
Speaker 12: that have right now together a forty percent bigger GDP
Speaker 12: than the G seven. When you take out the six
Speaker 12: countries of the G seven, let the United States be standalone,
Speaker 12: they're over double our GDP. So Trump knows that it's
Speaker 12: not just an issue with the reserve currency status, it's
Speaker 12: a national security issue. In fact, in a recent conversation
Speaker 12: I had with one of the leading House members, chairman
Speaker 12: of one of the committees, his point plank, which he's
Speaker 12: going to have dinner with Trump this weekend, said, if
Speaker 12: there's any one thing that you can destabilize a country,
Speaker 12: destroy the currency and then there's nothing left in the country,
Speaker 12: because that is the bedrock of the financial system. Bricks
Speaker 12: have made no bones about it. Their goal is to
Speaker 12: undermine debate and decouple the dollar from oil and commodity
Speaker 12: trading as fast as they can. So that way, our
Speaker 12: interest rates will skyrocket because no one will buy our debt.
Speaker 12: Why well, the debt's based in dollars. Look what's happening
Speaker 12: over the last year or so. It's not inflation that's
Speaker 12: always running up these rates. It's the unwillingness of countries
Speaker 12: right now to buy our debt. That's your problem, and
Speaker 12: that's what Bridge is trying to do.
Speaker 4: Explain reserve currency. My producer may not fully understand it though.
Speaker 4: If the world trade is funded and fueled and layered
Speaker 4: with the.
Speaker 5: US dollar, the US dollar has great value.
Speaker 4: If, on the other hand, some other currency like the
Speaker 4: wand from China is going to be the reserve currency,
Speaker 4: then we're in trouble, big trouble. In fact, we've done
Speaker 4: a lot of this to ourselves because of our debt
Speaker 4: and deficit. But explain to the American people what is
Speaker 4: reserve currency and how does that impact someone living in
Speaker 4: ames Iowa?
Speaker 12: Well good, Well, like you said, Iowa, I have relatives
Speaker 12: and aims as well as in Iowa. So that's good, yeah,
Speaker 12: all of Iowa. Well, let's talk about what reserve currency means.
Speaker 12: First of all, when a country determines its asset base
Speaker 12: or asset classes. It's going to have a number of
Speaker 12: fun in the mental things. Is going to strategically put
Speaker 12: in gold, silver, oil, and currency, currency being the liquid
Speaker 12: portion of all of those, Okay, the most liquid. So
Speaker 12: when you look at reserve currency, we are now from
Speaker 12: nineteen forty six, when ninety percent of the world transacted
Speaker 12: only in dollars and it was the number one reserve currency.
Speaker 12: Let me tell you where we're at today. We are
Speaker 12: now number six. In reserve asset. We're number one, but
Speaker 12: we've got from ninety percent to forty nine percent in
Speaker 12: daily transactions with the dollar. We're still number one because
Speaker 12: since nineteen forty six, there is a plethora of localized
Speaker 12: currencies out there that have subsequently been made to be
Speaker 12: their their number one go to sales transactional asset, which
Speaker 12: you know, people think, oh, it's going to be crypto
Speaker 12: one day.
Speaker 1: It will not be crypto like in the sense what
Speaker 1: we have today.
Speaker 12: It's going to always be a localized currency, whether it's
Speaker 12: digital or in paper form. What we're looking at is
Speaker 12: losing the number one position in daily transactions. If we
Speaker 12: lose that, that means demand is shifting to other currencies,
Speaker 12: which it has since nineteen six. The scary thing is,
Speaker 12: and Trump knows this is the number one national security riscue.
Speaker 12: Like I said earlier, it's number one with him right now.
Speaker 12: Because here's what the bricks represent. The bricks have two purposes.
Speaker 12: One to coalition, to bring financial instability to the United States,
Speaker 12: to create doubts so people stop buying the debt, people
Speaker 12: short the debt, or all together, they just eliminate.
Speaker 1: The use of the dollar. That's the goal.
Speaker 12: Now in some degree that's already happened, or we would
Speaker 12: still get that ninety percentile from nineteen forty six. The
Speaker 12: second thing they're doing is military strategically located basis.
Speaker 1: This is the reason why number of years.
Speaker 12: Ago Trump set China represents the greatest risk, and the
Speaker 12: bricks part of it because China is now moving on
Speaker 12: Greenland and they're moving just like they did the Soviet
Speaker 12: Union in the early sixties with Khrushchev and putting missiles
Speaker 12: in Cuba. Greenland represents it basically, it's an aircraft carrier.
Speaker 12: It's an aircraft carrier Hawaiian Islands. These are strategic locations
Speaker 12: to put in military operations.
Speaker 1: Panama Canal.
Speaker 12: Why is he so worried about that well, because China,
Speaker 12: which is part of the Bricks, which is intend to
Speaker 12: undermine the dollar undermin military, is now controlling Panama in
Speaker 12: violation of the treaty when Carters let Panama have the
Speaker 12: Panama Canal back. So now he's having to fight four fronts.
Speaker 12: He still has Ukraine in Russia, which rushes part of Bricks.
Speaker 12: He still has Hesbala Israel and Iran. Iran is part
Speaker 12: of Bricks. He's still got the Panama Canal with China,
Speaker 12: and China is also interfering in Greenland, which is part
Speaker 12: of Bricks, which is the founding member. So when he
Speaker 12: says Bricks is the biggest threat to the national security
Speaker 12: of the United States, Trump is right. He's always going
Speaker 12: to be proven right, whether it's the next day, the
Speaker 12: next year, or the next decade.
Speaker 1: The guy's as smart as that.
Speaker 12: We have look at his sun as that one hundred
Speaker 12: and seventy IQ good looking kid, Baron so and all
Speaker 12: his kids are smart because it comes from a good stock.
Speaker 1: Trump knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 12: Now, in order to defeat the Bricks, he's gonna have
Speaker 12: to do one thing. In my company, we analyze things
Speaker 12: every day in real time twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1: We never go to sleep.
Speaker 12: There's always people working around the clock to manage hard
Speaker 12: assets for individuals. Well, that's how Trump's going to have
Speaker 12: to manage bricks. In order to defeat the bricks, he
Speaker 12: can't go head to head. He's gonna have to find
Speaker 12: the cracks within the membership. And I think that's what's
Speaker 12: gonna happen, is he's going to go to the weakest links,
Speaker 12: cut deals, strategic deals, not just willing nearly throw a
Speaker 12: grenade and see what happens and where the casualties are,
Speaker 12: but more tactical, more surgical.
Speaker 1: I think what we'll do is and this is what
Speaker 1: I would do.
Speaker 12: And he's a smart guy, so I think he'll be
Speaker 12: able to relate to this. Find the weakest link within
Speaker 12: an organization that you need to dismantle, subdivide that by
Speaker 12: taking a few pieces off to make the whole weaker
Speaker 12: than what was originally started. And next thing, you know,
Speaker 12: the rest will follow suit. They'll want to cut deals.
Speaker 12: They'll want to say, okay, we're back on the dollar.
Speaker 12: We're gonna go ahead him do business with you, and
Speaker 12: all of a sudden that bricks will be weakened enough
Speaker 12: to where it may actually be dismantled. Possibly not. Dismantling
Speaker 12: is a big word, and they're very unified, but there
Speaker 12: is definitely cracks. There's definitely some confusion within the Bricks
Speaker 12: memberships because why you've got a warrior now in the
Speaker 12: White House, you don't have a dementia patient, You've got
Speaker 12: a warrior.
Speaker 1: They don't like warriors.
Speaker 12: Why will Warriors are tough, Warriors will push back, Warors.
Speaker 1: They'll hit back. That's what Trump is. He's a warrior,
Speaker 1: and so.
Speaker 4: The most important thing he can do is maybe it's Brazil,
Speaker 4: maybe it's India, the largest country on Earth, or maybe
Speaker 4: it's the UAE because of their fear of what's happening
Speaker 4: in Iran. You can pick off two, three or four
Speaker 4: of them to go back on the dollar and right
Speaker 4: now the one the Chinese in ten for the wand
Speaker 4: to become the reserve currency. And these nations together have
Speaker 4: a much bigger GDP than the US, but they don't
Speaker 4: have the same military power, and you can grab them
Speaker 4: by the coyones, especially the UAE.
Speaker 5: So that means when UAE.
Speaker 4: Or Saudi Arabia trades with a Germany, you need some currency,
Speaker 4: and that has been the reserve currency right now it
Speaker 4: is not. And because there was such fecklessness the past
Speaker 4: four years that the bricks and these other seventeen nations
Speaker 4: got together to use a different currency than the dollar,
Speaker 4: which will trash the American economy. Wouldn't it make us
Speaker 4: look like a great depression again in America? If economically
Speaker 4: the rest of the world would use the wand as
Speaker 4: the reserve currency where goods are exchanged instead of the dollar,
Speaker 4: wouldn't that be an unmitigated disaster for us?
Speaker 12: If that happens, the US would have twenty five percent
Speaker 12: interest rates, overnight mortgages would be fifteen to twenty percent,
Speaker 12: real estate would drop by fifty percent in a second.
Speaker 12: Because here's the problem, and you're right, You're absolutely right.
Speaker 12: The digital U one right now is about eighteen percent
Speaker 12: of the world's transact whether it's paper or whether it's digital,
Speaker 12: About eighteen percent of the world transactions are now through
Speaker 12: the bricks. China obviously representing so many population of the
Speaker 12: whole world of the planet, so that gives it some
Speaker 12: kind of a little bit stewed their direction, a little
Speaker 12: bit more of a bias, But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: They're still people they're still transacting.
Speaker 12: So if we lose this reserve status and we are
Speaker 12: on the verge of losing it, we're down to under
Speaker 12: fifty percent. We're in the forty nine percentile again, down
Speaker 12: from ninety percent and forty six.
Speaker 1: But what you said was profound. He said something very good.
Speaker 12: If the digital ue continues its current growth rate, which
Speaker 12: is exponentially moving very rapidly around the world, especially in
Speaker 12: wherever China has built massive infrastructure deals. The way China
Speaker 12: started to move quickly once they joined the World Trade Organization,
Speaker 12: they were able to move with more efficiency at a
Speaker 12: much rapid pace, to be able to get money into
Speaker 12: infrastructure deals within countries by giving them two billion dollar loans.
Speaker 12: They own the country, they basically seize the assets. If
Speaker 12: you can't pay the loan back, don't worry about it.
Speaker 12: We're your new government. You'll do all of these things.
Speaker 12: That's what happened in Panama, It's happened throughout South America,
Speaker 12: it's happened all over Africa. See Schishi Ping comes from
Speaker 12: a long line of leaders whose ultimate goal was to
Speaker 12: create supremacy both in a financial status in a military status.
Speaker 12: And this goes back to the eighteen fifty occupation of
Speaker 12: the British in Hong Kong. They said they would never
Speaker 12: allow that to happen again, and they haven't in that sense.
Speaker 12: So if the digital U one continues at its current
Speaker 12: pace of growth, and it is substantial pace of growth,
Speaker 12: which I think we can slow it down. The hard
Speaker 12: part is going to be eliminating it, which could be
Speaker 12: next to impossible. But slow it down and put it
Speaker 12: almost in a quarantine, in a box to limit its
Speaker 12: growth or limit its what I consider to be the octopus. Right,
Speaker 12: it's tentacles to go to the far reaches of the world,
Speaker 12: bring back Greenland because it's a strategic place. China wants
Speaker 12: a military base there because then they can leverage that
Speaker 12: against the US. They did it in the South Sea
Speaker 12: when they built those islands, which was against all international treaties.
Speaker 12: It was the closest they could get to the Hawaiian Islands,
Speaker 12: which again as an aircraft carrier for anybody who has
Speaker 12: military ideology. And the last part, again going back to
Speaker 12: your question, I'll give you an answer at full circle.
Speaker 12: We are going to move from paper currency to digital
Speaker 12: currency within the next three to five years. There's no
Speaker 12: way around it. The debt is so bad that mathematically,
Speaker 12: at the rate it's currently being I call it built. Okay,
Speaker 12: I don't know how much you want to say it,
Speaker 12: but the debt's getting built bigger and bigger every day
Speaker 12: that by twenty twenty nine we're in default mode. There's
Speaker 12: just not enough revenues by the government. You can't tax
Speaker 12: out of it, and you certainly can't create more manufacturing
Speaker 12: jobs enough to eliminate the debt.
Speaker 1: And the bricks are playing off that.
Speaker 12: That's why Elon Musk came out today and said there's
Speaker 12: no way to cut two tillion dollars from the federal budget.
Speaker 1: You can't do it. We all knew he couldn't. Two
Speaker 1: hundred billion a.
Speaker 12: Year would be catastrophe almost for the GDP. So Trump's
Speaker 12: going to have to go in there and cut deals
Speaker 12: and divide the bricks in order to save the United States.
Speaker 4: You know, on the media in this country simply want
Speaker 4: to attack Donald Trump. They kind of snicker and laugh
Speaker 4: about Greenland, About Panama Canal. The Panama Canal is managed
Speaker 4: by the communists Red Chinese, and when pavements can't be made,
Speaker 4: they'll take over the canal. And they're the one managing
Speaker 4: it right now. They have a multi billion dollar port
Speaker 4: they put in Peru in Peru, for God's sakes, and
Speaker 4: Greenland is being encircled by the Chinese. Whenever media reports
Speaker 4: on Trump wanting to take control directly or indirectly of Greenland,
Speaker 4: they just laugh and snicker at the guy. And by
Speaker 4: twenty twenty nine, at the rate of borrowing a trillion
Speaker 4: dollars every one hundred days, we do not have the economy,
Speaker 4: do not have the money to keep borrowing money without
Speaker 4: greatly higher interest rates. And when those around the world
Speaker 4: quit buying our debt, we're out of business, in which
Speaker 4: case the value of assets we own iti we cut
Speaker 4: in half and it will take twenty five thirty percent
Speaker 4: to buy a house, in which case the economy crashes,
Speaker 4: which is exactly what Red China wants. They want America
Speaker 4: to economically collapse. They were banking on Kamala Harris continue
Speaker 4: the same policies for the next four to eight years,
Speaker 4: and Trump's gonna have to be the one to make
Speaker 4: the case that we can't continue in this route. If
Speaker 4: we do, the country's over with because if the currency
Speaker 4: is worthless, assets are worthless, in which case the lines
Speaker 4: form in front of Kroger stores and we're done.
Speaker 5: Do I have that correct?
Speaker 12: As correct and clear as crystal? You say it exactly.
Speaker 12: If the dollars undermined, nobody buys the debt rate spike,
Speaker 12: everything goes south, everything with the exception of hard assets.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a point.
Speaker 12: There are two things that are the most clearest barometers
Speaker 12: of economics. No matter what it is, no matter what
Speaker 12: the numbers are in the economy, no matter who runs
Speaker 12: the state, whether it's Russia, whether it's the United States
Speaker 12: and Canada, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: The two barometers you need to focus on are follows.
Speaker 12: Interest rates in bonds. Okay, that's kind of synonymous with
Speaker 12: each other. And rates are going up, bonds are going
Speaker 12: down treasuries because nobody wants the debt. It's not just inflation,
Speaker 12: it's also fear. It's fear.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing is gold.
Speaker 12: See gold goes up twelve to eighteen months prior to
Speaker 12: a catastrophic event. It's done it every single time since
Speaker 12: every cycle since eighteen eighty four. Okay, literally since eighteen
Speaker 12: eighty four. So when you see them move in gold,
Speaker 12: it always comes before. When you see them move in bonds.
Speaker 12: In this case, we've got fear of the debt, of
Speaker 12: the underlying value of the dollar, and normally bonds would
Speaker 12: be going up because of a safe haven. Equity is
Speaker 12: going down. So we know that the bonds are in trouble,
Speaker 12: equities are in trouble, and we certainly know that gold
Speaker 12: is forecasting a tremendous downturn that's coming soon.
Speaker 1: Because the numbers. Math is math.
Speaker 12: Okay, people lie, Math doesn't and that's the way it is.
Speaker 12: So we need to look at this. And yes, China
Speaker 12: is playing off this. There was a gentleman that I
Speaker 12: had the pleasure of meeting in China doing business over
Speaker 12: there number of years ago, and he always said, he said,
Speaker 12: we always try to capitalize on the weakness of the enemy.
Speaker 12: This is a tradition for China for thousand years. Sun
Speaker 12: Shou said it. Actually, So what they're doing now is
Speaker 12: they're trying to expand accelerate because we're at a weak
Speaker 12: point economics doing with Trump coming in.
Speaker 1: Look at the debt. Look at the debt. How are
Speaker 1: you going to pay back thirty seven trillion dollars? You
Speaker 1: can when the revenues of the United States you can't.
Speaker 1: It's forty a half trillion. You can't do it. It's impossible.
Speaker 12: The Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Congress and
Speaker 12: Warren Davidson, who's incredibly a smart friend, very student.
Speaker 1: About this stuff.
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, him and I have done some talks together
Speaker 12: and we've done some a couple of presentations, and we
Speaker 12: both concurred, you cannot pay the debt down. And China
Speaker 12: knows this, and they're dumping all their treasuries. Think about
Speaker 12: this in twenty ten.
Speaker 5: Thirty seconds, thirty seconds, all right.
Speaker 1: Ready for this.
Speaker 12: But twenty ten they had four trillion dollars worth of treasuries.
Speaker 12: You know they got today four hundred billion. They've reduced
Speaker 12: it by ninety percent. Why they put it all in gold?
Speaker 1: Period.
Speaker 4: Christian, Let's keep sounding the bell before it's too late,
Speaker 4: because twenty twenty nine is as close to us now
Speaker 4: as twenty twenty one. It's right around the corner. And
Speaker 4: Christian Briggs, you're great about this. The fate of bricks
Speaker 4: and Trump is the guy we have right now to
Speaker 4: save this country. Christian Briggs, thanks again for coming on
Speaker 4: the Bill Cunningham Show, CEO of Hard Asset Management. Let's
Speaker 4: make sure we do it again. Thank you Christian.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, my brother, God bless you.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Bill Cunningham, the Great American. Live with you every Sunday
Speaker 4: Night by Billy Cunningham, the Great American. And the financial
Speaker 4: status in this country, shall we say, is not the best.
Speaker 4: When you read about deficits of something a range of
Speaker 4: two trillion dollars every year and accumulate national debt of
Speaker 4: something in the range of thirty six trillion, and the
Speaker 4: Chinese owns so much of our debt. Now they're cashing
Speaker 4: in their ten year bonds, which means there's more bonds
Speaker 4: available to be purchased by others.
Speaker 5: That's why the rates are going up.
Speaker 4: It's kind of a sad situation in which we find ourselves,
Speaker 4: but we put ourselves here, and I'm not sure even
Speaker 4: Donald Trump can get us out of the debt circle
Speaker 4: that debt crisis. We may end up like Zimbabwe, for example.
Speaker 4: It's not good and someone's got to have a come
Speaker 4: to Jesus meeting or grossly increase the economy. Of course,
Speaker 4: that would be Donald Trump grossly increasing the economy. But nonetheless,
Speaker 4: I think this feeds nicely. We're going to put a
Speaker 4: call in the Grover Norquist Americans for Tax Reform. Grover
Speaker 4: Norquist has been fighting this battle now for many, many years.
Speaker 4: And the consequences of having all the fires in Los Angeles,
Speaker 4: which is going to cost hundreds of billions of dollars,
Speaker 4: the rebuilding of Los Angeles by itself is going to
Speaker 4: be hundreds of billions of dollars or more. And the
Speaker 4: fact that we're not prepared economically for this is it's
Speaker 4: deeply saddening to me as a great American. I don't
Speaker 4: know how we come over it, but we got to
Speaker 4: do something. We've got to go in a different direction.
Speaker 4: To build a city in a desert with grasslands that
Speaker 4: is meant to burn, and then blaming climate change for
Speaker 4: it makes no sense to me at all. Bill Cunningham
Speaker 4: with you every Sunday Night, By Billy Cunningham, the Great America,
Speaker 4: one of the great advocates for tax reform the last
Speaker 4: twenty twenty or thirty years as Americans for Tax reformatr
Speaker 4: dot org and then leading the Saint Peter of that organization.
Speaker 4: The leader upon that rock we will build our church
Speaker 4: is of course, Grover Norquist. And Grover welcome again to
Speaker 4: the Bill Cunningham Show. Two or three issues are percolating
Speaker 4: him my head. Number one, you have a column up
Speaker 4: about you haul index shows Americans voting with feet or
Speaker 4: shall is say, entires in favor of lower taxes greater
Speaker 4: worker freedom. So explain what you haul rental rates tell
Speaker 4: about the American people moving within America.
Speaker 7: Ye, we kind of know from talking to friends that
Speaker 7: people are moving from New York to Florida because New
Speaker 7: York has a ten percent personally come tax and Florida
Speaker 7: has zero. People move from California to Texas because they
Speaker 7: go from about fourteen down to zero. And you hear
Speaker 7: the stories and you know it anecdotally. But every year
Speaker 7: you haul the people who provide let you rent their
Speaker 7: trucks to move stuff from one to the other. Report
Speaker 7: And by the way, if you're using you haul and
Speaker 7: driving your own truck, you're not some rich guy, right.
Speaker 7: They can hire somebody else to drive their stuff from
Speaker 7: one place to another. But you all says, here's the
Speaker 7: top ten states people are leaving California and New York Illinois.
Speaker 7: They go through the list. What are they? They are
Speaker 7: high tech states and their states run by democratic governors
Speaker 7: and democratic legislatures. Well, where are the ten states people
Speaker 7: are moving to. Of Florida and Texas and Tennessee. States
Speaker 7: that people move to that have either no personal state
Speaker 7: income tax or very low personal state income taxes. The
Speaker 7: average of the ten people moved to is about two percent.
Speaker 7: The average of the one that people leave is about
Speaker 7: six to eight. So people always loved the idea. I
Speaker 7: grew up in before I moved to United States and immigrated,
Speaker 7: I used to live in Massachusetts, and there in Massachusetts,
Speaker 7: people say, oh, that people moved to Texas for the weather,
Speaker 7: and I thought, really, you ever been to Texas? You
Speaker 7: know the idea that people leave California to move to
Speaker 7: Texas for the weather. It's counterintuitive, and Florida is wonderful
Speaker 7: in the winter, but not in the summer. People are
Speaker 7: not moving. You make hast in Florida for the weather.
Speaker 7: You move for the Texas.
Speaker 5: No question.
Speaker 4: In California, I think the most beautiful state I've been
Speaker 4: in is North Carolina. And if I spend time in Montana,
Speaker 4: I'd probably say Montana. But there's no more beautiful state
Speaker 4: well positioned than the state of California. It has skiing,
Speaker 4: it has beaches, it has mountains, has valleys, great agricultural center.
Speaker 4: Of course, Hollywood, et cetera. You have the tech industries
Speaker 4: there and so much more. There's about forty million Americans
Speaker 4: who live in the California, which is beautiful, and all
Speaker 4: they have is ridiculous governmental policies caused by ineptitude and
Speaker 4: by DEI helping to cause the wildfires and more. Right
Speaker 4: now there's more and more than three thousand structures affected.
Speaker 4: All hell continues to break loose in California. They can't
Speaker 4: deal with it, and instead of going a different direction,
Speaker 4: they fail to do so. California, for example, is beautiful.
Speaker 4: Texas often for six months of the year has terrible weather.
Speaker 4: The state of Florida. I have a home there. About
Speaker 4: six months of the year it's great. The other six
Speaker 4: months is hotter than the hinges of hell. People aren't
Speaker 4: moving to Texas or North Carolina or Mississippi or Florida
Speaker 4: because of the weather. They're moving for less crime, less regulation,
Speaker 4: more entrepreneurship, and fewer taxes, and so California has got
Speaker 4: to be. In fact, if I could trade California, Washington
Speaker 4: and Oregon for maybe Canada, I might make the trade.
Speaker 4: But Canadians are very close right now in politics to Californians.
Speaker 5: But what do you see.
Speaker 4: Why are more and more and more Americans leaving California
Speaker 4: and then being replaced by legal migrants illegally getting lots
Speaker 4: of government support. So the right kind of people are
Speaker 4: moving out and the wrong kind of people are moving in.
Speaker 7: Why California has past the tipping point. They just spend
Speaker 7: so much money, and they do that to buy Democrat
Speaker 7: voting constituencies. Either government employees given mats of pensions beyond
Speaker 7: anything in the private sector, and they have to keep
Speaker 7: funding that. That's bankrupting a number of the Blue states.
Speaker 7: We're talking about trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities promises,
Speaker 7: way beyond what they've been willing to steal from Pact
Speaker 7: players so far. They're going to have to do much
Speaker 7: higher taxes in the future just to pay off their
Speaker 7: promises to the to the public sector union. And then
Speaker 7: you have an entire constituency that gets welfare in various
Speaker 7: forms and they say to people, you can't accomplish anything,
Speaker 7: which is not very nice in the government to say
Speaker 7: to people and say, well, well we'll give you some
Speaker 7: welfare and so just vote for us, and that'll that's
Speaker 7: the deal, Shut up, go away, and it's becoming too
Speaker 7: expensive for them to buy the votes they need. And
Speaker 7: this is a huge challenge. New York spends two hundred
Speaker 7: and thirty billion a year state budget, two and thirty billion,
Speaker 7: Florida one fifteen. Okay, half half as much. Florida actually
Speaker 7: has two million plus more people living in Florida than
Speaker 7: in New York's. That wasn't true X number of years ago. Right,
Speaker 7: Florida is bigger than New York and they but New
Speaker 7: York spends twice as much per capita. Why what do
Speaker 7: they get? Are the road's better? No, the schools better?
Speaker 7: What they have? No, well, it's transportation better. No, okay,
Speaker 7: it's more expensive. They pay more government employees, more money,
Speaker 7: more benefits, They work fewer days, they work fewer hours,
Speaker 7: they retire earlier, and they get pensions that nobody in
Speaker 7: the real world ever gets to see. So they have
Speaker 7: a very well paid aristocratic class that, like the European aristocrat,
Speaker 7: live off the hard work of the peasants who pay
Speaker 7: the taxes. And that's what New York gets for spending
Speaker 7: twice as much what Florida get Because they spend one
Speaker 7: hundred and fifteen billion dollars a year less in the
Speaker 7: state government. They get people moving to their state, they
Speaker 7: get businesses investing in their state. They get jobs and
Speaker 7: growth in the state because people spend their money there
Speaker 7: by investing in it. Right, if you put your money
Speaker 7: in the bank, they're shipping it to Florida to build
Speaker 7: houses and work and great things. They're not building in
Speaker 7: New York because there isn't opportunities there. So this is
Speaker 7: really beginning to shift the country. Next year the electoral
Speaker 7: College about ten more votes, ten more votes moved to
Speaker 7: low tax states away from high tax states, and eventually
Speaker 7: we'll have a permanent majority against the tax and spenders.
Speaker 5: Well, two other issues.
Speaker 4: One is that I hear liberal Democratic congressmen and women
Speaker 4: like at Keem Jefferies say it's all about tax cuts. Well,
Speaker 4: if you pay taxes, you get a tax cut. And
Speaker 4: because the income distribution, the top one percent pay about
Speaker 4: forty percent of the tax txes. So when there's tax
Speaker 4: cuts across the board, the one percent likely to get
Speaker 4: forty percent of the revenue return to them in a
Speaker 4: form of checks to have more economic activity. So if
Speaker 4: one percent pay forty percent, the top five percent pay
Speaker 4: eighty percent. That means when the tax cuts across the board,
Speaker 4: the eighty percent, the five percent who pay eighty percent
Speaker 4: of the taxes get relief. But secondly, the Democrats want
Speaker 4: to sell the lie le italisize it, put it in quotes,
Speaker 4: put a big line under it, and they lie by saying, well,
Speaker 4: that's going to starve government. When you have tax cuts,
Speaker 4: it means less government money goes to Washington to spend money.
Speaker 4: Explain the truth, Grover nor Quist, Explain the truth.
Speaker 7: Sure, When we cut marginal tax rate on the income
Speaker 7: tax in the nineteen twenties, we had the Roaring twenties.
Speaker 7: Then Hoover erased the taxes up to seventy five percent.
Speaker 7: We had a great depression when John F. Kennedy said
Speaker 7: let's take the rates down about twenty five percent across
Speaker 7: the board. Like Reagan, we had strong growth in the
Speaker 7: sixties until they created the Great Society, spent trillions of
Speaker 7: dollars and Nixon had Nixon raised taxes to pay for
Speaker 7: the welfare state that the Democrats created, and you have
Speaker 7: the lousy seventies. Reagan came in cut marginal tax rates.
Speaker 7: You had strong economic growth for seven straight years until
Speaker 7: George Herbert Walker buck broke his promised not to raise
Speaker 7: taxes and did raise taxes, and we had as a result,
Speaker 7: flower growth following that, when we reduce taxes, we have
Speaker 7: more growth. We have more revenue coming in. Because you
Speaker 7: have more people working, there are more people paying taxes,
Speaker 7: more people making higher wages. The Trump tax cuts saw
Speaker 7: the median income family of four in nine twenty nineteen,
Speaker 7: a year after the tax cuts took effect, jumped six
Speaker 7: point eight percent median family income. Not rich people, not
Speaker 7: the media dead center, middle half earning more half earning
Speaker 7: was six point eight percent, growth more than the entire
Speaker 7: eight years of Obama. Lower taxes create economic growth. The
Speaker 7: second line the Democrats say is, well, the corporate income tax,
Speaker 7: we should raise that, and they're only going to have
Speaker 7: tax The Republicans are cutting taxes for corporations. What does
Speaker 7: that mean. Corporations don't pay taxes. There's no mister General
Speaker 7: Motors writing a check. Companies the corporate income taxes paid
Speaker 7: by workers who get paid less money because the company
Speaker 7: has less money, fewer workers, because the companies shrink at
Speaker 7: their workforce. Prices go up because they have to try
Speaker 7: and raise the money to pay the taxes. Some way,
Speaker 7: So consumers get hit. And if you're saving for your
Speaker 7: retirement in a four to one pay in an ira
Speaker 7: and the stock market in your home and land, you
Speaker 7: see those taxes on the taxes on corporations actually reduce
Speaker 7: the value of your life savings. So favors consumers. Workers
Speaker 7: pay the corporate income tax and all do the you
Speaker 7: do with the corporating camp. Taxes hide that the middle
Speaker 7: class is being looted. When the property tax people come
Speaker 7: and tax the local grocery store you go to, who
Speaker 7: do you think pays the property tax the grocery store. No, No,
Speaker 7: you when you buy potatoes. Okay, So they like to
Speaker 7: hide the taxes, and the corporate income tax is a
Speaker 7: great way to hide that they're screwing the middle class
Speaker 7: and pretending it comes from somebody else.
Speaker 4: Now, lastly, when corporate taxes are raised, the price of
Speaker 4: the product or service goes up and the consumer pays
Speaker 4: all the corporate taxes is simply a pass through. But
Speaker 4: too many Democrats can't understand that. Secondly, about the deficit,
Speaker 4: I read an article recently about the bricks. What's happening
Speaker 4: with the bricks which is Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.
Speaker 4: About fourteen other nations have joined. They want the dollar
Speaker 4: not to be the reserve currency because it's unreliable. They're
Speaker 4: claiming that if we keep borrowing a trillion dollars every
Speaker 4: one hundred days, that the value of our dollar will
Speaker 4: be much less because dollars we print it and the
Speaker 4: answerest rates what goes up because you have to pay
Speaker 4: more money to attract more investors. How much of a
Speaker 4: problem for long term health of America is a deficit
Speaker 4: of this character.
Speaker 7: There is a problem, but it's the spending. It's the
Speaker 7: total spending. The deficit is the part of the iceberg
Speaker 7: you can see. It's the part of spending that is
Speaker 7: beyond what's taxed. Okay, But if you were spending at
Speaker 7: ten dollars and the government said, well, we're going to
Speaker 7: take nine by taxes and borrow one. Okay, Oh, here's
Speaker 7: an improvement. We're going to take off ten. That doesn't
Speaker 7: free opp resources. The problem is the size of the government.
Speaker 7: So the real cost of government Milton Friedman said this
Speaker 7: in million times, and we need to remember it. The
Speaker 7: real cost of government is total government spending, whether they
Speaker 7: take the money from you or borrow it. It is
Speaker 7: gone from the real economy. So yes, that total spending
Speaker 7: get high enough there they're not. They get scared to
Speaker 7: raise the taxes to meet it. It is a sign
Speaker 7: the government is spending too much. But the problem is
Speaker 7: not the deficit itself. It's the totals, and definite is
Speaker 7: the piece of the problem. The bigger problem is total
Speaker 7: government spending what gets sucked out of the real economy,
Speaker 7: and that's what we need to keep down. I'm not
Speaker 7: worried that the countries you list are going to replace
Speaker 7: the dollar, because it's sad and sorry as our government
Speaker 7: can be, those are all worse. It's so good luck
Speaker 7: trying to get them to have a currency that works.
Speaker 7: But we do need to have a stronger currency, and
Speaker 7: that means spend less money, lower regulations, lower taxes, more growth.
Speaker 4: Grover norquest to atr dot org American for tax reform
Speaker 4: a friend of mine. But recently build a home that
Speaker 4: costs five million dollars, and when someone hears that day,
Speaker 4: I think that is ridiculous that someone in Cincinnati, Ohio
Speaker 4: can actually spend five million dollars. I say to that person,
Speaker 4: Look that five million dollars wasn't put in a pile
Speaker 4: of bonfire and burned that five million dollars. One of
Speaker 4: the pockets of the blacktopper, the carpenter, the plaster or
Speaker 4: the drywall, or the kitchen manufacturer, the flooring. The trust
Speaker 4: is the roof itself. So when someone rich spends money,
Speaker 4: that money goes in the pockets of the middle class,
Speaker 4: and that feels their lifestyle. They then have better income
Speaker 4: they pass on to someone else, to pass on to
Speaker 4: someone else, to pass on to someone else. So when
Speaker 4: some rich person like a Mark Zuckerberg buys a hundred
Speaker 4: million dollar a yacht, how bad is that? I listen
Speaker 4: to some congressional testimony. That's terrible. He spent one hundred
Speaker 4: million dollars. Well, where did one hundred million dollars go?
Speaker 4: And one of the pockets and middle class workers who
Speaker 4: built the damn thing?
Speaker 5: Am I right or wrong?
Speaker 12: Now?
Speaker 7: You're right? And what Zuckerberg has done is created tens
Speaker 7: of billions of dollars of value that is in the
Speaker 7: one case, and individual retirements counts and pensions of millions
Speaker 7: of Americans, and that we ought to have. That's good
Speaker 7: when when the value of that stock goes up, the
Speaker 7: people who benefit. He doesn't need an extra billion dollars
Speaker 7: he's got. You know, if you take money from him,
Speaker 7: it's not like he doesn't have a house. He doesn't
Speaker 7: have a jot if he wants one. That just comes
Speaker 7: out of the investment that he has in his company,
Speaker 7: in the jobs of the people who work for him. Right,
Speaker 7: he's busy inventing stuff. He's a little quieter about it,
Speaker 7: but he's another regular Elon Musk in terms of the
Speaker 7: kind of stuff that he's been investing in and making
Speaker 7: products and creating new opportunities. That's why the United States
Speaker 7: leads the world on all the interesting new technologies because we,
Speaker 7: as bad as we sometimes do it, we're less horrible
Speaker 7: than all the other governments in the world. But we
Speaker 7: can do better. That's that's not the market that we
Speaker 7: need to be significantly better in our growth, in our
Speaker 7: job creation, in the people that we are able to
Speaker 7: hire here in the United States. So this we're going
Speaker 7: to win the competition internationally. I think Trump's tax cuts
Speaker 7: are a huge step in the right direction. And the
Speaker 7: idea of Elon Musk and the they going through the
Speaker 7: regulations and say let's get rid of half of the
Speaker 7: regulations we have. They're not only not helpful, they're destructive.
Speaker 5: Gotta run.
Speaker 4: Grover norquestatr dot org. Thanks again for coming on the
Speaker 4: Bill Cunningham Show. The truth will set us all free.
Speaker 4: Grover Norquest, thank you very much.
Speaker 7: Good to be with you.
Speaker 4: Thanks though, Bill Cunningham, the Grand American live with you
Speaker 4: every Sunday night. Hi, Billy Cunningham the Great American. Thanks
Speaker 4: for listening this rather frigid Sunday night. At least in
Speaker 4: large parts of the country, including the South, and I
Speaker 4: live a little Cincinnati, Ohio. If anyone ever talks about
Speaker 4: global warming again, I may kick them between the lakes.
Speaker 4: I know it's all about climate change, but climate change
Speaker 4: is every about every three months. Anyway, I'm talking about
Speaker 4: global warming. Guess what doesn't exist, and it's used as
Speaker 4: an excuse as a reason to spend lots of money
Speaker 4: on ridiculous programs.
Speaker 5: It won't change a darn thing.
Speaker 4: In fact, if you think about it, in California, for
Speaker 4: the last i don't know, fifty years, ninety five percent
Speaker 4: of the time the city has been completely controlled by
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party, and for twelve of the last sixteen
Speaker 4: years the president's been a Democrat. So what you're seeing
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles is the result of what the result
Speaker 4: of democratic policies on the environment, that is what's happening.
Speaker 4: And so if these are the results of democratic policies,
Speaker 4: I don't know what in the world's going on around
Speaker 4: this place, because it's not good. And when you pick
Speaker 4: your leaders based upon obsessions with woke dei in climbate
Speaker 4: extremism and homelessness and firing those like firefighters in Los
Speaker 4: Angeles seven hundred were fired because they wouldn't take the vaccines.
Speaker 4: When open borders and illegals and you spend all the
Speaker 4: money possible on those circumstances and then a fire breaks out,
Speaker 4: which is predicted. L is built on a desert and
Speaker 4: a grassland. There should be nothing between the ocean and
Speaker 4: the Santa Monica Mountains. But for economic reasons, the Hollywood
Speaker 4: left and others built all these mansions tens of thousands,
Speaker 4: in an area in which is going to burn in
Speaker 4: a regular basis, which means you must be prepared, like
Speaker 4: Ron DeSantis is prepared in Florida for hurricanes. You gotta
Speaker 4: be prepared. And to hire a Dei mayor who spends
Speaker 4: her time in Ghana or Cuba that as Karen Bass
Speaker 4: the mayor makes no sense at all. You should hire
Speaker 4: by competency, not by gender, race, or sexual orientation. Would
Speaker 4: you agree? Let's continue with more Next Sunday Night. Bill
Speaker 4: cunning into Great American with you every Sunday Night.
