Speaker 1: Portions of the Bill Cunningham Show may be pre recorded.
Speaker 2: Willie Through You by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway
Speaker 2: In Hotels are serving up double points for over qualifying.
Speaker 2: Stay book at Choice Hotels dot com. Now here's the
Speaker 2: man who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of
Speaker 2: not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast excellence,
Speaker 2: the one and only Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 1: Now I'm Philly Cunningham to great America, go to hear
Speaker 1: me with me this Sunday night, and a great tragedy occurred,
Speaker 1: of course, in central Texas, in the Austin area west
Speaker 1: of that San Antonio eighty two or dead news conference
Speaker 1: about three hours ago by Governor Abbott. They have confirmed
Speaker 1: eighty two deaths which include twenty eight girls, twenty eight children.
Speaker 1: Eleven kids are still missing at about seventeen adults are missing.
Speaker 1: So the probability of the death toll going past one
Speaker 1: hundred is quite good. It's always bad when anyone has
Speaker 1: killed or died for any reason, but I have children
Speaker 1: died at a Christian evangelical camp named after called the
Speaker 1: Camp Mystic. Is particularly sad because innocent children, some of
Speaker 1: the stories like to watch some sports on Sunday afternoon,
Speaker 1: but I found myself glued to Fox New CNN. Also
Speaker 1: every now and then MSNBC had a lucid moment which
Speaker 1: is quite rare putting on the actual victims of what
Speaker 1: they went through On the fourth of July and the evening,
Speaker 1: thirty foot wall of water formed and wiped out everything
Speaker 1: in his path, including taking the bark off trees, including
Speaker 1: knocking over one hundred year old oak trees. It was
Speaker 1: something that was in a sense predicted, not the total
Speaker 1: catastrophe by the National Weather Service, but warnings and watches
Speaker 1: were issued in fact, because the left again is trying
Speaker 1: to politicize this. How do you politicize a thunderstorm? How
Speaker 1: do you politicize a flood that used to be the
Speaker 1: province of the particularly insane when you think politics should
Speaker 1: play a role in snow or rice and storms and
Speaker 1: hurricanes and tornadoes, et cetera. But somehow the left wants
Speaker 1: to politicize this and blame Donald Trump cutbacks in the
Speaker 1: National Weather Service, by the way, which are false. And
Speaker 1: also the behavior once again is George Stephanopolis this morning,
Speaker 1: he's going to get another lawsuit because he put on
Speaker 1: Larry Summers talking about that Donald Trump is going to
Speaker 1: kill one hundred thousand Americans. We're going to play it
Speaker 1: for you later on. It's absurd that ABC News, the
Speaker 1: work of David Brinkley, etc. And so many others of
Speaker 1: Nightline did go to work for so long with Ted Copple.
Speaker 1: He's lost his way completely too. David Mure right now
Speaker 1: is a leftist giving us the news that they're kind
Speaker 1: of pinning the tail on Donald Trump to kill one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand Americans over the next ten years. And also
Speaker 1: George Stephanopolis spent time with an ABC News correspondent today
Speaker 1: simply lying about the National Weather Service. So about two
Speaker 1: hours ago, I'm sorry, about three hours ago, at seven
Speaker 1: to twenty eight pm Eastern Time, Homeland Security put out
Speaker 1: a short email that says the following. The mainstream media
Speaker 1: is deliberately lying about the events leading up to the
Speaker 1: catastrophic flooding in Texas. The National Weather Service executed timely,
Speaker 1: precise forecasting and warnings despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region.
Speaker 1: Then they go into a lengthy timeline of all the
Speaker 1: reports issued by the National Weather Service and it goes
Speaker 1: on to say the mainstream media is deliberately lying about
Speaker 1: the events leading up to the catastrophic flooding in Texas
Speaker 1: and goes on and on, and they actually have the
Speaker 1: print out of the number of watches and warnings that
Speaker 1: were being issued, which were beginning twelve hours before the event,
Speaker 1: and the point was made by those on the ground.
Speaker 1: The last time flooding like this took place was about
Speaker 1: half a century ago, and at that point the river
Speaker 1: banks of the various rivers were not built up as
Speaker 1: they were today. There were seven hundred and fifty girls
Speaker 1: who were staying at Camp Mystic, and the owner of
Speaker 1: Camp Mystic gave his life to save as many as
Speaker 1: he could. It happened at nighttime when thunder and lightning
Speaker 1: and terrible storms are coming, one tends to honker down,
Speaker 1: and they did in their cabins. And the proper warnings
Speaker 1: are issued by the National Weather Service, as they always
Speaker 1: are now. The flip side of the coin is, it's
Speaker 1: like crying wolf. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, and we
Speaker 1: get so many watches and warnings, whether it's hot, cold, rainy, dry, stormy, windy, humid, snowy,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Many times you simply get in the
Speaker 1: habit of ignoring what the National Weather Service says. You
Speaker 1: get them probably hundreds every year in the Midwest about
Speaker 1: tornadoes are coming, it's gonna rain, it's gonna be thunderstorms,
Speaker 1: flash flood warnings are in effect. There's said so many times,
Speaker 1: as so many people ignore it because they think, here
Speaker 1: we go again. But to its credit, the National Weather
Speaker 1: Service and also all the local meteorologists in Austin and
Speaker 1: Waco and San Antonio all issued numerous watches and warnings.
Speaker 1: Whether radio was being used. It wasn't a failure of
Speaker 1: the government in a sense. It was Mother Nature dumping
Speaker 1: as much as twelve to fourteen inches of rain into
Speaker 1: an area that could not handle it. And you've seen
Speaker 1: the videos. It is devastating. Fact, it is beyond devastating.
Speaker 1: Whenever a child lose this is her life. There's nothing
Speaker 1: to say. And when I get to Heaven, is I
Speaker 1: pray one day I will with you, Hope you and
Speaker 1: I will be standing at the pearly gates at some point.
Speaker 1: Hopefully I'll be admitted, may have to spend some time
Speaker 1: in purgatory. That's a different issue. I've committed some moral
Speaker 1: misdemeanors in my life. No felon needs, to my knowledge,
Speaker 1: a lot of moral misdemeanors. But I want to ask,
Speaker 1: God Almighty, why do you allow children in this case,
Speaker 1: as many as twenty eight little girls to be washed
Speaker 1: away and killed in horrible ways. I like to know
Speaker 1: why those things transpire, why they happen. And I don't
Speaker 1: know what to say, except I said a prayer last night.
Speaker 1: I went to Mass today at Saint Gertrude's and I
Speaker 1: lit a candle for the girls and for those who
Speaker 1: gave their life. Currently, the death tolls eighty two, and
Speaker 1: that's very likely to rise, and we hope they're going
Speaker 1: to keep looking for more. There's eleven children still missing,
Speaker 1: and as many as twelve adults. Of the eighty two
Speaker 1: that are dead, eighty two or two, I'm sorry, eighty
Speaker 1: two that are dead, twenty eight our children, and it
Speaker 1: is time for sadness and reflection on their life, to
Speaker 1: build and make your life better, using their innocence as
Speaker 1: a boundary and as a sentinel to live your life better.
Speaker 1: It's sad, I would point out, as what happens in
Speaker 1: today's world. I think America's patriotism has ended. My good
Speaker 1: friend and yours Ben Shapiro wrote a column in town
Speaker 1: Hall and elsewhere about the end of patriotism, and he
Speaker 1: makes the note from the Gallup poll. When I saw
Speaker 1: Harry Inton on CNN, He's my only reporter on CNN,
Speaker 1: I pay attention to Harry Innton about how America's feels
Speaker 1: so differently today. About the flag. July the fourth, I
Speaker 1: was in a couple parades, flew the American flag, did
Speaker 1: everything I could honor the sacrifice of the founders of
Speaker 1: this country beginning in seventeen seventy six, and what they
Speaker 1: did for us is truly unbelievable. But the Gallup poll
Speaker 1: says that if you identify as a Republican slash conservative,
Speaker 1: that ninety two percent of us and I'm a conservative
Speaker 1: generally vote Republican, but I'm a conservative, ninety two percent
Speaker 1: are extremely or somewhat proud to be an American. You know,
Speaker 1: my Moniker is the great American. I'm proud of this country.
Speaker 1: It's about all his piples and warts. By far is
Speaker 1: the greatest country in the world, by far, the greatest
Speaker 1: country and the history of the world. So ninety two
Speaker 1: percent of us, courding Gallop, that I identify as conservative
Speaker 1: are extremely proud or somewhat proud to be an American.
Speaker 1: And that's up. In fact, in twenty twenty two was
Speaker 1: eighty four percent of us are proud. Now it's ninety
Speaker 1: two percent. Pretty good in your mind. Think about what
Speaker 1: Democrats say to the same question, are you proud? Are
Speaker 1: you proud to be an American? Well, among Democrats, that number,
Speaker 1: coding to George Gallup, is thirty six percent, down from
Speaker 1: eighty percent ten years ago. So if you're a self
Speaker 1: identifying liberal Democrat, thirty six percent say you're proud to
Speaker 1: be an American. And if you're part of of the
Speaker 1: younger crowd, if you're under thirty years old, under thirty
Speaker 1: years of age, it's twenty two percent. In other words,
Speaker 1: about eighty percent of young Americans are not proud to
Speaker 1: be an American. It is the death of patriotism, the
Speaker 1: end of it as we know it. It's unbelievable, needless
Speaker 1: is say. Gallup says, those are the worst numbers that
Speaker 1: they've ever experienced in fifty years. That right now here
Speaker 1: we sit Sunday evening on July sixth, that a great
Speaker 1: bulk of the American people are not proud to be
Speaker 1: an American at all overall in the whole country, that
Speaker 1: the number is about fifty eight percent overall everyone, independence, Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, liberals,
Speaker 1: whatever description you might be. That the numbers is extremely low,
Speaker 1: which is fifty eight percent. That means about forty two
Speaker 1: percent of us aren't proud to be an American. The
Speaker 1: American flag has not flown in many of our communities.
Speaker 1: I wonder in Los Angeles or the city of Chicago,
Speaker 1: did you see any American flags? How about New York City, Cincinnati?
Speaker 1: In certain areas yes, and other areas absolutely not. These
Speaker 1: numbers are startling. Every occasion is used by some on
Speaker 1: the left as a reason to riot, protest, or boycott.
Speaker 1: Portland's going through a living hell right now. On the
Speaker 1: fourth of July, there were dozens of riots and demonstrations
Speaker 1: all over the country, not well covered by the mainstream media,
Speaker 1: in which liberals are marching protests and complaining constantly about
Speaker 1: this great country of ours. It's truly an incredible thing
Speaker 1: to watch. It's not well covered, but one of the
Speaker 1: sad things. And we're going to play the bit with
Speaker 1: short stuffanopolis later on Larry Summers, in which she accuses
Speaker 1: Donald Trump of killing one hundred thousand Americans. But this
Speaker 1: story I thought needed some mention that there's a city
Speaker 1: of Houston. You can imagine tonight how there should be
Speaker 1: in the city of Houston, Texas. Real empathy for the parents,
Speaker 1: for the brothers and sisters, for the husbands, the wives,
Speaker 1: the grandparents, for everyone that's been lost. The number clearly
Speaker 1: is going to go above one hundred, extremely said in
Speaker 1: an event that is one of those weather events, it's
Speaker 1: just incredibly unpredictable. Well, there's a woman in Houston as
Speaker 1: part of the city government in Houston, and her name
Speaker 1: is Sadie Sa d em I, saying that correctly, Sauda
Speaker 1: sa d E Perkins, she's a member of the Houston
Speaker 1: Food Insecurity Board, made the claim that Camp missed it
Speaker 1: in Hunt, Texas. She said in her video, this is
Speaker 1: a white only conservative and Christian group. White only conservative,
Speaker 1: she went on, are probably going to be canceled for
Speaker 1: saying this, But she said, quote Camp Mystic is a
Speaker 1: white's only girls Christian camp. They don't even have a
Speaker 1: token Asian, they don't have a token black. It's all white,
Speaker 1: white only conservative Christian camp. She went on to say
Speaker 1: that if this was a Hispanic camp or a black campout?
Speaker 1: How about me using the term an American camp? But
Speaker 1: she went on to say nobody would give and she
Speaker 1: dropped the F bomb. What So there's that sickness loose
Speaker 1: in America that somehow our country only cares about white
Speaker 1: evangelical girls and no one else. I would care just
Speaker 1: as deeply about black little girls that are being killed
Speaker 1: for horrible purposes in major American cities and those who
Speaker 1: may be victimized by floods that I I don't see color,
Speaker 1: I see an American child. But if you're a left
Speaker 1: doing extreme liberal like this saud a woman, saud A
Speaker 1: Perkins in Houston, Texas, all you see is color and
Speaker 1: the Christian flag is not something she's too happy with either,
Speaker 1: And she dropped the F bomb in reference to this event. Sick, sad,
Speaker 1: and demented. It's the end, the death of patriotism as
Speaker 1: we know it.
Speaker 3: Not.
Speaker 1: About forty percent of us overall aren't proud to be Americans.
Speaker 1: Democrats thirty six percent are proud, Republicans ninety two percent
Speaker 1: are proud, and independence have fallen. Also, they dropped from
Speaker 1: seventy six percent and ten years ago to now fifty
Speaker 1: three percent, overall fifty eight percent, and it's not getting better.
Speaker 1: I'll just take a short break. When we come back.
Speaker 1: I want to play the words of George Stefanopolis, who
Speaker 1: was successfully sued by Donald Trump before. He's putting up
Speaker 1: the idea now through the mouth of Larry Summers at Clintonista,
Speaker 1: that somehow Donald Trump himself is going to be responsible
Speaker 1: for killing one hundred thousand Americans. What Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: a murderer?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: And George Stephanoppolis served it up. He also served up
Speaker 1: the idea that the National Weather Service was cut by
Speaker 1: Donald Trump that indirectly caused the tragedy in Texas. That
Speaker 1: is George Stephanopolis really the face of ABC News this
Speaker 1: side of David Muir. Also, I would point out that
Speaker 1: ABC News produces the view enough said, let's continue. We'll
Speaker 1: take some calls, of course eight sixty six six four
Speaker 1: seven seven three three seven eight six six six four
Speaker 1: seven seven three three seven. Of course, we have tonight
Speaker 1: dozens of stations in Texas. And if you have particularized
Speaker 1: knowledge about what's happening tonight, I've watched all the news conferences,
Speaker 1: I've seen the video and it's a time for sad
Speaker 1: reflection upon the lives of these innocent men, women and
Speaker 1: children that were killed because of a weather event, not
Speaker 1: because of Donald Trump. Eight sixty six six four seven
Speaker 1: seven three three seven. Bill Cunning in the Great American
Speaker 1: with you every Sunday night, my Billy hunting in the
Speaker 1: Great American. We're gonna play for this segue with George
Speaker 1: Stephanopolis and Larry Summers in about seven or eight minutes
Speaker 1: to tell you where the Left is going in this
Speaker 1: country and how ridiculous it is.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: I have print out almost all nine hundred pages of
Speaker 1: the bill, which is called the Big Beautiful Bill, just
Speaker 1: on the issue of Medicaid. To prepare yourself for what
Speaker 1: you're about to hear. There are no cuts to Medicaid.
Speaker 1: Can I say that several times. If you're a citizen,
Speaker 1: you're in great shape. If you're a criminal, illegal alien,
Speaker 1: or if you're a freeloader, you might be in bad shape.
Speaker 1: Because it is not the intent of Medicaid to pay
Speaker 1: the medical bills of those from Lithuania or Bolivia. It's
Speaker 1: not our intent to pay bills of those from Mexico
Speaker 1: or Venezuela that are here illegally. In fact, is illegal
Speaker 1: for Medicaid to be used for such purposes, but the
Speaker 1: States do it all the time because of reimbursement. They're
Speaker 1: not supposed to do it. So if you are an
Speaker 1: American that receives Medicaid, your benefits will be there for you. However,
Speaker 1: if you're a freeloader on your mother's couch in the
Speaker 1: basement and refuse to work. There's about seven million American
Speaker 1: males between the ages of eighteen and fifty nine that
Speaker 1: get Medicaid that are capable of working, going to school,
Speaker 1: or donating their time, that refuse to do so. That,
Speaker 1: by the way, that's a Bill Clinton idea for the
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties. So if you're one of those seven million
Speaker 1: men that refuse to work, or if you're here illegally,
Speaker 1: what part of illegal don't you understand, then you're not
Speaker 1: going to get Medicaid benefits we hope administered by the states.
Speaker 1: You know, many times in life there's a budget, but
Speaker 1: in medicaid, you put out a goal and what should
Speaker 1: be spent. Then the states determine who to give Medicaid
Speaker 1: benefits to, and they seek reimburst them from the Feds
Speaker 1: anywhere between fifty and seventy one percent. So each state
Speaker 1: now is going to be under a mandate not to
Speaker 1: give medicaid to anyone who's here illegally. How about that
Speaker 1: novel suggestion. So the liberals are going nuts. There is
Speaker 1: no cut in medicaid for Americans. There is hopefully cuts
Speaker 1: in medicaid for those here illegally or the freeloaders who
Speaker 1: refuse to work. In addition to that, because of Josh Holly,
Speaker 1: there was an additional fifty billion dollars put in the budget,
Speaker 1: the Big Beautiful Bill passed by the House on July third,
Speaker 1: what was that on Friday Thursday for rural hospitals to
Speaker 1: get fifty billion dollars extra money. So if you're in
Speaker 1: a rural area, that money will be there for you.
Speaker 1: That bill allocates fifty billion dollars to support facilities in
Speaker 1: so called rural areas of this country. So that's been
Speaker 1: taken care of. Also, did you know that, of course
Speaker 1: not also SNAP or food stamps. The amount would very
Speaker 1: based on the state's payment error rate. But if you're
Speaker 1: getting SNAP benefits and you are an American, there are
Speaker 1: no cuts. However, if you hear illegally, there is a cut,
Speaker 1: and if you refuse to work when you can in
Speaker 1: your able body, you shouldn't get a nickel of snap
Speaker 1: and or food stamps. Correct you agree with me? On
Speaker 1: raise your hand if you agree with me, I agree.
Speaker 1: So the media is lying to you about cuts and
Speaker 1: medicaid because it fits their purpose. If the facts don't matter,
Speaker 1: and the facts don't equip itself with your opinion, simply
Speaker 1: is you an opinion untethered by facts, which is what
Speaker 1: Larry Summers did this morning with ABC News George Stephanopolis,
Speaker 1: And after the break, we're going to play those about
Speaker 1: two or three minutes of comments which accuses Donald Trump
Speaker 1: of killing one hundred thousand Americans. This is George Stephanopolis,
Speaker 1: who was sued successfully by Donald Trump before and Larry Summers.
Speaker 1: They both maybe suit again for line. Then we'll go
Speaker 1: to the calls eight sixty six six four seven seven
Speaker 1: three three seven Bill cunning into Great American with you
Speaker 1: and all great Americans of course every Sunday night, now,
Speaker 1: Billy cunning into Great American. I fully understand a liberals,
Speaker 1: left wing extremists bounced from democratic politics in the mainstream media.
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. George Stefanopolis is the obvious example,
Speaker 1: who spent years as a Clinton easterntor operator who got
Speaker 1: the main job on Good Morning America also on Sunday
Speaker 1: Morning because he's a liberal Democrat that represents the viewpoint
Speaker 1: of ABC News. That's fine, we understand that, but don't
Speaker 1: picture yours is something different than you. Truly are a
Speaker 1: democratic left wing operative. That's what he is, and that's
Speaker 1: what the view is. That is they represent the viewpoints
Speaker 1: of the editorial directors of ABC News. That's what they do.
Speaker 1: And ABC News on the left is not much different
Speaker 1: than NBC, god forbid, or CBS or the Washington Time
Speaker 1: or Washington Post of the New York Times. It's all
Speaker 1: the same thing. The opposite doesn't happen. I couldn't imagine
Speaker 1: Steve Bannon, who worked for Trump as senior advisor, Steve
Speaker 1: Bannon leaving the White House and getting the main repertorial
Speaker 1: job at CBS News or ABC. You're in NBC. Could
Speaker 1: you imagine Steve Bannon being offered ten million dollars a
Speaker 1: year to do this week with Steve Bannon on ABC
Speaker 1: News on Sunday Morning. Is that possible? No, It's impossible.
Speaker 1: My concern is not the expression of different viewpoints. I
Speaker 1: have a viewpoint, you have a viewpoint. Monopolis has one,
Speaker 1: Steve Bannon has one. The lie is the mainstream media
Speaker 1: of picturing itself as journalists when they're not journalists. They're
Speaker 1: left doing idea logs pretending to be journalists. And you
Speaker 1: figured it out because the trust of the mainstream media
Speaker 1: is now below used car dealers and god forbid attorneys,
Speaker 1: so we don't trust it. But they picture themselves as
Speaker 1: somehow independent arbitrators. That is simply not the case. Just
Speaker 1: two days after the flooding in central parts of Texas,
Speaker 1: the left is out right now in full force to
Speaker 1: blame the tragedy on Donald Trump. He did it. They
Speaker 1: want to pin every scandal on Donald Trump since he
Speaker 1: returned to the White House, whether true or not. The
Speaker 1: National Weather Service issued repeated warnings about what to do
Speaker 1: in central Texas. One can argue about crying wolf constantly
Speaker 1: with all the watches and warnings, but according to National
Speaker 1: Weather Service, I'm looking at the log they gave repeated warnings,
Speaker 1: as did local TV and radio stations all over central Texas.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not responsible for this, but then he
Speaker 1: puts on the course one of his fellow left wingers
Speaker 1: to discuss whether or not the Big Beautiful Bill is
Speaker 1: somehow going to kill a whole bunch of people, which
Speaker 1: is now what the left is doing. And so George Stephanopolis,
Speaker 1: doing what George Stephanopolis always does, puts on a left
Speaker 1: wing audiologue Larry Summers, who works with the White House
Speaker 1: for a long time, and here's a few of the words.
Speaker 1: This is allegedly objective, fair, independent journalism. On Sunday Mornings
Speaker 1: with George Stephanopolis, Danny Gleason hit.
Speaker 6: It, George, just to start with what your people have
Speaker 6: been describing is the biggest cut in the American safety
Speaker 6: net in history. The Ial Budget Lab estimates that it
Speaker 6: will kill over ten years, one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 7: That is two thousand days of death.
Speaker 6: Like we've seen in Texas this weekend. In my seventy years,
Speaker 6: I've never been as embarrassed for my country on July fourth.
Speaker 6: These higher interest rates, these cutbacks in subsidies to electricity,
Speaker 6: these reductions in the availability of housing, the fact that
Speaker 6: hospitals are going to.
Speaker 7: Have to take care of these people and pass on
Speaker 7: the costs to everybody else.
Speaker 6: And that's going to mean more inflation, more risk that
Speaker 6: the Fed has to raise interest rates and run the
Speaker 6: risk of recession, more stagflation. That's the risk facing every
Speaker 6: middle class family in our country because of this bill.
Speaker 6: And for what a million dollars over ten years to
Speaker 6: the top tenth of a percent of our population. Is
Speaker 6: that the highest priority use of federal money right now?
Speaker 6: I don't think so. This is a shameful act by
Speaker 6: our Congress and by our president that is going to
Speaker 6: set our country back.
Speaker 8: Part of the President's argument is that economic growth sparked
Speaker 8: by the bill will alleviate the dangers that you talk
Speaker 8: about here. The chair of the Council of Economic Advisors
Speaker 8: is up next and his councilor should report this week
Speaker 8: projecting eleven trillion dollars in deficit reduction from growth, higher
Speaker 8: tax revenue, and savings on debt payments.
Speaker 6: How do you respond to that, It is, respectfully nonsense.
Speaker 6: None of us can forecast what's going to happen to
Speaker 6: economic growth. What we can forecast is that when people
Speaker 6: have to hold government debt instead of being able to
Speaker 6: invest it in new capital goods, new machinery, new buildings,
Speaker 6: that makes the economy less productive.
Speaker 7: What we can forecast is.
Speaker 6: That when we're investing less in research and developments, investing
Speaker 6: less in our schools, that there is a negative impact
Speaker 6: on economic growth.
Speaker 1: All right, let me tear that apart. He just said
Speaker 1: nobody can predict the future. Well, he predicts the future
Speaker 1: using as his guidepost a study from Yale, not exactly
Speaker 1: some independent arbitrator of the truth. In fact, just the opposite.
Speaker 1: May I say again, Can I put a ten inch
Speaker 1: high italicized letters make a neon? There are no cuts
Speaker 1: to medicaid if you are an American citizen here legally,
Speaker 1: which of course you are. And secondly, you're not a freeloader.
Speaker 1: In fact, they have budgeted about a six percent increase
Speaker 1: to medicaid over each year for the next ten years,
Speaker 1: as opposed to the regular ten to twelve percent increase.
Speaker 1: And so facts don't matter in the mind of a
Speaker 1: left wing itelogue. In fact, just the opposite. Does anyone
Speaker 1: trust the Yale Budget Lab that he.
Speaker 6: Yale Budget Lab estimates that will kill over ten years
Speaker 6: one hundred thousand people, That is two thousand days of death.
Speaker 1: The Yale Budget Lab forecast one hundred thousand Americans will
Speaker 1: die because of Donald Trump. Why does ABZ News put
Speaker 1: that kind of crap on unless they want to undermine
Speaker 1: the authority of the President to tell lies to their
Speaker 1: viewership and to bring about something they seek to avoid,
Speaker 1: which is a fruitful, happy harvest of the American people.
Speaker 1: Let's face it, if you are an American citizen and
Speaker 1: you're not a freeloader, there's about a six percent on
Speaker 1: average increase of Medicaid. Did you know that from the
Speaker 1: mainstream media coverage? I don't think so. He also talked
Speaker 1: about tax cuts, et cetera. There's no tax cuts. What
Speaker 1: it is the continuation of the twenty seventeen budget resolution.
Speaker 1: The evil one percent pay forty percent? Can I say
Speaker 1: that again? One percent of way journers pay forty percent
Speaker 1: of the bills tax bills. The top five percent, those
Speaker 1: who make above one hundred and ninety five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a year, pay about seventy percent. The bottom fifty percent
Speaker 1: of way journers pay no federal income tax. It's hard
Speaker 1: to give a tax cut to someone who doesn't pay taxes.
Speaker 1: So when this is across the board cut in taxes,
Speaker 1: those who pay the most taxes will get the most
Speaker 1: minuscule relief and that's simply the facts. The tax rates
Speaker 1: are going to return to their twenty seventeen levels beginning
Speaker 1: in September thirtieth to twenty twenty five, and so it
Speaker 1: continues the way it is. So if the truth doesn't work,
Speaker 1: make up lies. Have people like George Stephanopolis and David
Speaker 1: Muir and others, Tom Lonis, Lester Hoole, perhaps and the
Speaker 1: Sunday Morning shows lie about the fact that one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand Americans are going to be killed by Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: There's the headline. Is that true? Hell no, it's not true.
Speaker 1: But the truth doesn't matter if you want someone out
Speaker 1: of power, and believe me, the mainstream media wants Donald
Speaker 1: Trump out of power. Also, there's a tax cut on
Speaker 1: overtime pay, car loans and tip income up to twenty
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a year. I don't think a millionaire
Speaker 1: or a billionaire is getting overtime. I don't think anyone
Speaker 1: who makes five million dollars a year or I have
Speaker 1: to worry about interest on American car loans, or about
Speaker 1: number of tips or Social Security. How about this? The
Speaker 1: bill would allow seniors to deduct up to six thousand
Speaker 1: dollars off their social Security income. If you have an
Speaker 1: income of over seventy five thousand dollars a year as
Speaker 1: a person, or one fifty one hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year, you do not get any benefit at all.
Speaker 1: It is intended for the ninety percent of Social Security
Speaker 1: recipients who rely upon their check every month. So Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is fixing that so that if you have a
Speaker 1: high income and you're seventy five years old, you don't
Speaker 1: get a cut at all. If you have an income
Speaker 1: of less than one hundred and fifty thousand bucks a year,
Speaker 1: you get a cut. You get a benefit by taking
Speaker 1: Social Security? Is that fair? Is that about the little guy?
Speaker 1: The big guy? Not too many millionaires I know or
Speaker 1: actually worried about overtime or income tax on tips. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And may I say one other thing?
Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna go to the telephone calls. A lot's
Speaker 1: been made and made of the Jeff Bezos wedding last
Speaker 1: week in Venice, Italy, and from that the left going
Speaker 1: crazy on Jeff Bezos, who contributed it mainly to the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. I might add that he spent about sixty
Speaker 1: to seventy million dollars on his marriage with that woman
Speaker 1: names and chess. Now where did that sixty million dollars go?
Speaker 1: Did he put it in a large suitcase and drop
Speaker 1: it into the ocean. No, the sixty million dollars he
Speaker 1: spent went to wedding planners and went to dressmakers, It
Speaker 1: went to restaurant owners, It went to those who run hotels,
Speaker 1: all the tips that were given. Much like when you
Speaker 1: build a five million dollar mansion somewhere south of Chicago,
Speaker 1: where does the five million dollars go? It goes in
Speaker 1: the pockets of butchers, bakers, candlestick makers. How about plumbers, electricians,
Speaker 1: dry walls and roofers, appliance manufacturers, blacktoppers, carpenters, and more So,
Speaker 1: when the so called evil rich spend five million dollars
Speaker 1: on a house, the moneys go one hundred percent in
Speaker 1: the pockets of middle class Americans, and that dollar then
Speaker 1: reverberates seven times in the economy. So when the carpenter
Speaker 1: or the plumber, or the electrician or the drywall has
Speaker 1: a big time job and makes fifty thousand dollars over
Speaker 1: the course of six months, he takes that money and
Speaker 1: spends it in other parts of the economy. It is
Speaker 1: not an evil thing for a rich man or rich
Speaker 1: woman to build an expensive home. In fact, for the economy,
Speaker 1: it's a great thing. It's a good thing to spend
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars on a wedding. The money isn't
Speaker 1: burned in a bonfire. The money goes in the pockets
Speaker 1: of middle class Americans who put the wedding on. And
Speaker 1: so the Trumpster said, if you have an American made
Speaker 1: on amobile, you can induct the interest on the car loan.
Speaker 1: Who except the middle class would do that. Not too
Speaker 1: many rich people I know take out a car loan.
Speaker 1: They write a check. So that Donald is trying to
Speaker 1: give as much tax benefits as possible to middle class Americans.
Speaker 1: I'll just take a short break, and when I continue,
Speaker 1: I'll take some calls. We have call some Florida, Michigan, Idaho,
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati. Three lines are open. Your calls are next
Speaker 1: eight six six six four seven seven three three seven.
Speaker 1: What part of the Big Beautiful Bill do you like?
Speaker 1: What part don't you like? And do you believe? According
Speaker 1: to ABC newses George Stephanopolis and his guests Larry say Iale,
Speaker 1: budget lab.
Speaker 6: Estimates that it will kill over ten years one hundred
Speaker 6: thousand people.
Speaker 7: That is two thousand days of death.
Speaker 1: George Stephanopolis is going to get sued again because you
Speaker 1: just accused the president of killing one hundred thousand Americans,
Speaker 1: which is a damnable lie. Do you buy it? Bill
Speaker 1: cunning and the Great American with you every Sunday night.
Speaker 6: The Ille budget Lab estimates that it will kill over
Speaker 6: ten years one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 7: That is two thousand days of death.
Speaker 1: It's a I'm flambering, asked that that the ABC News
Speaker 1: would use its public trust and its public airwaves to
Speaker 1: accuse the President Donald Trump purposely killing one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: Americans over the next ten years when it's a lie.
Speaker 1: It's completely false. Only in Washington is an increase in
Speaker 1: spending a cut only in Washington? You say, well, now,
Speaker 1: Medicaid's gone up fifty percent in the past four years,
Speaker 1: that's ten to twelve percent a year. Need to rein
Speaker 1: that into about four to six percent a year increase,
Speaker 1: Get illegals off, which they shouldn't be there in the
Speaker 1: first place. And if you're a freeloader in your mom's
Speaker 1: basement and you're healthy and your seven million males are
Speaker 1: in this category. You refuse to work, why should the
Speaker 1: government support you? But there's Larry Summers and George Stephanoppolos
Speaker 1: saying that Donald Trump's going to kill one hundred thousand Americans.
Speaker 1: How does that work? It can't. That's why you got
Speaker 1: a dump button. That's why you might record something ahead
Speaker 1: of time to make sure you have a guest that
Speaker 1: doesn't accuse the president of killing Americans. Are you kidding me? No,
Speaker 1: that's where That's where the left is in this country.
Speaker 1: Much like the City of Houston official who is not
Speaker 1: concerned about the white Christian girls being killed in those
Speaker 1: terrible floods because they're white Christian girls. And she said,
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this.
Speaker 1: Both they were Hispanic girls or black girls, nobody would
Speaker 1: given she dropped the F bomb. What That's where the
Speaker 1: left is. So when others have written, including George Gallup,
Speaker 1: the Gallup pool says that we've lost her patriotism. We're
Speaker 1: not in very good shape. On about twenty two percent
Speaker 1: of Democratic millennials think America is a great country, and
Speaker 1: overall the Democratic Party the number is thirty six percent.
Speaker 1: About two thirds of Democrats do not think America they're
Speaker 1: proud to be an American. That's two thirds of the party.
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You're reading the New York Times,
Speaker 1: in the Washington Post and watching CNN. Well, if you
Speaker 1: watch that and you read that, and you watch things
Speaker 1: like democratic officials. By the way, Larry Summers used to
Speaker 1: be the president of Harvard, including being Clinton's secretary of Treasury, that.
Speaker 7: Is two thousand days of death.
Speaker 1: What when you're increasing medicaid funding and you're providing fifty
Speaker 1: billion dollars for rural hospitals? Now, Donald Trump is a killer?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 1: How does that work? Wow? Let's continue. So before I
Speaker 1: will take some calls. I got to get to the lines.
Speaker 1: I got calls all over. I got to get to
Speaker 1: the lines. Some of the great stuff is on defense
Speaker 1: spending and on funding immigrants and border security. The legislation
Speaker 1: would dedicated about one hundred and fifty billion dollars over
Speaker 1: ten years in order to deliver on core promises. That
Speaker 1: includes immigration officials, building the wall, et cetera. And by
Speaker 1: the way, House Trump done already with Biden type money
Speaker 1: and keeping illegals out. Can can someone give me a gift?
Speaker 1: Donald Trump a standing ovation for that one. Really, we
Speaker 1: were told for years Joe Biden needs more power and
Speaker 1: more money to keep the illegals out. Donald Trump did
Speaker 1: it within the first ninety days. Back in the month
Speaker 1: of May, there were zero intrusions on the southern border.
Speaker 1: On a year earlier, there were twenty six thousand a day,
Speaker 1: and this down to zero. Did the media cover that,
Speaker 1: of course not. They never do their ideologues masquarining as
Speaker 1: independent journalists. And one thing I don't like is the
Speaker 1: five trillion dollar debt sealing increase. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I guess has passed the Trump term. I don't I
Speaker 1: get at all. I pull out the twenty twenty one budget,
Speaker 1: which is what four years ago, and whatever was spent
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, we're gonna spend out in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. If we did that, we'd have a three
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollar surplus and not a two trillion dollar deficit.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. We owe thirty seven trillion. The Republicans say,
Speaker 1: over the next ten years, we're gonna put at least
Speaker 1: twenty trillion more on top of the thirty seven will
Speaker 1: be closed to sixty trillion dollars right now, one trillion
Speaker 1: dollars in interest on the national debt, which is twenty
Speaker 1: two percent of O income tax collections go to pay
Speaker 1: interest in the interest alone. But on the other side,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna quit babbling. I've had enough. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: your calls at least for the next hour. Eight sixty
Speaker 1: six six four seven, seven three three seven. Bill Cunningham
Speaker 1: with you. Every seven.
Speaker 2: Willie through 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 Choice hotels dot com. Now here's the
Speaker 2: man who's been recognized gives radio's best, the recipient of
Speaker 2: not won but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast exodence,
Speaker 2: the one and only Bill cunninghad.
Speaker 1: Let's continue on this fourth of July, a great celebration.
Speaker 1: We more in the dead, especially the children in Central Texas.
Speaker 1: And I'm certain that God Almighty's welcome them into the
Speaker 1: pearly gates and they'll spend eternity in heaven waiting for
Speaker 1: their parents. And which is pray to God that the
Speaker 1: damages can be kept to a minimum, that somehow more
Speaker 1: lives can be saved, possibly down the road, possibly to
Speaker 1: see what occurs. Let's get your calls, and I'm proud
Speaker 1: to be an American. I'm known as the Great American,
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati they called the ballpark after me, the Great American.
Speaker 1: I feel proud about that. And as an American, I'm
Speaker 1: part of the ninety three percent of Conservatives who say
Speaker 1: they're proud to be an American, which is a large
Speaker 1: number compared to only about thirty six percent of Democrats
Speaker 1: who say they're proud to be Americans. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Jim and Jacksonville, Florida. Then calls from all over the
Speaker 1: nation and including Mark and Monroe and Jim and Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Jim, how are you.
Speaker 9: I'm doing real, mister Cunningham, thank you for taking my call. Yes,
Speaker 9: sir man, it's an honor to speak with you.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 9: I just wanted to speak about being proud to be
Speaker 9: an American.
Speaker 1: Why, well, what happens in this country, Jim? That gives
Speaker 1: you a sense of pride in this country that liberals
Speaker 1: and Democrats don't understand.
Speaker 9: I could not explain that. I remember as a kid,
Speaker 9: although I myself did not serve.
Speaker 10: I grew up on.
Speaker 9: An air force base and when I was really young,
Speaker 9: I remember at the end of the day, me and
Speaker 9: my friends.
Speaker 11: Would do all we could to ride our bus.
Speaker 9: It goes to the main gate at Barksdale Air Force Base,
Speaker 9: because at five o'clock they would broadcast the national anthem basewide,
Speaker 9: all traffic would stop. Everybody got out and either put
Speaker 9: their hand or their hat over their heart, and we
Speaker 9: would always try to get as close as we could
Speaker 9: to watch the detail fold the flag further before it
Speaker 9: was raised next morning.
Speaker 12: And I'll never forget that.
Speaker 1: Things are a bit different now, and.
Speaker 9: I absolutely do not understand what's wrong with these people.
Speaker 9: But the main point was I have not ever heard
Speaker 9: any guys mentioned that if they hate America so bad
Speaker 9: and they think it's so horrible, there's one wonderful thing
Speaker 9: about a free country. You are free to.
Speaker 1: Leave doors, swings both ways. One of the worst images
Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles riots are seemingly illegual aliens Mexicans
Speaker 1: waving the Mexican flag on top of burned out LAPD
Speaker 1: police cars, and to have Democrat after Democrat, including Karen Bass.
Speaker 1: The mayor not find that to be one of the
Speaker 1: worst symbols possible for her city. I'll ask you this question, Jim.
Speaker 1: We have terrible US cities in decline. Whether it's Chicago,
Speaker 1: New York, if New York goes the Communist or Marxists
Speaker 1: were in more trouble, and La San Francisco just picked
Speaker 1: the American city. All of them are a complete decline
Speaker 1: by any objective measurement. Can America be a great nation
Speaker 1: if it's ten largest cities are in moral, cultural, financial,
Speaker 1: educational collapse? How does America succeed when our major cities
Speaker 1: are in complete denial, in complete collapse? How does that happen?
Speaker 9: I cannot understand it myself, Sir. I have no explanation.
Speaker 9: I don't I can't comprehend what's wrong with these people
Speaker 9: or what they're thinking. But again, like I said, if
Speaker 9: these people hate America so bad, why don't.
Speaker 5: They just leave?
Speaker 1: The door swings both ways. Let's go to Ray and
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and then Mark and Monroe, Wisconsin. And he just
Speaker 1: hung up, So let's go to Mark and Monroe, Wisconsin. Mark,
Speaker 1: give me a full report.
Speaker 12: Okay, Hey Bill, That ABC News team is really pathetic,
Speaker 12: as we all know. Starting with George Stephanapolis, in my
Speaker 12: opinion is he has a Napoleon complict, John Carling more
Speaker 12: than a total weasel, and Terry Moranne he's gone, well, yeah,
Speaker 12: I know, he must have crossed the line, which to
Speaker 12: me is actually flabbergas because I didn't think they get
Speaker 12: rid of any of those clowns. But yeah, like I said,
Speaker 12: he must have crossed the line. So compared to CBS
Speaker 12: what I call sixty spinets, maybe they're not as bad
Speaker 12: as as all the spins that CBS puts out so.
Speaker 1: Well, to me, we figured, you know, the thing is
Speaker 1: the differential between what they promote themselves as being, which
Speaker 1: is the mainstream media, which is liberal journalist, as to
Speaker 1: what on one hand, as to what they truly are
Speaker 1: in the other. And that is the reason we hold
Speaker 1: the media in such low contempt, as we figured out,
Speaker 1: because the talk radio and podcast that we're not getting
Speaker 1: the truth. But have ABC News and George Defanopoulos allow
Speaker 1: and broadcast across the world the fact that they have
Speaker 1: a guest that says Donald Trump is going to kill
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand Americans. I mean I watched that, I
Speaker 1: played it for you earlier. It is stunning that on
Speaker 1: the public airwaves can be used for such purposes and
Speaker 1: Stuffanopolis is setting up BABYC News for another Trump lawsuit,
Speaker 1: and one of the worst things you can do is
Speaker 1: threatening you're going to kill Americans. And they're threatening Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: They just said that Trump's gonna kill one hundred thousand Americans.
Speaker 1: It's like what the.
Speaker 6: Ill Budget Lab estimates that it will kill over ten years,
Speaker 6: one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 7: That is two thousand days of death.
Speaker 1: Mark, I mean, that's the public airwaves being used to
Speaker 1: remote lies and homicidal defamation against our president. Unbelievable.
Speaker 12: Let me ask you this bill, do you think the
Speaker 12: American public, after you know, all the experience, you know,
Speaker 12: all the way back to the twenty twenty what I
Speaker 12: call the Joseph Stolen Election J six and all the
Speaker 12: media propagianda, and like you said, the first lawsuit with Stephanopolis,
Speaker 12: do you think I mean, they assume or they don't care.
Speaker 12: I guess it's a better way of putting it. They're
Speaker 12: playing in the America public. We the people being its
Speaker 12: stupid that we can't figure anything out. Apparently, I don't
Speaker 12: know how else you can explain it.
Speaker 1: Well, Mark, you know, all of us have a dump button.
Speaker 1: If someone comes on here and says that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is going to kill one hundred thousand Americans, I dump
Speaker 1: it because that is a terrible defamation. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was that what we but this was done like okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, let's keep it going a little bit longer.
Speaker 1: And this was just any guests. This was the former
Speaker 1: president of Harvard, Larry Summers and former Secretary of Treasury
Speaker 1: under Obama, interviewed by an Obama and Neista at Clinton
Speaker 1: Easta George Stephanopolis, having just successfully paid Donald Trump I
Speaker 1: think it was ten or fifteen million now sixty minutes
Speaker 1: in CBS is going to pay him sixteen to twenty
Speaker 1: five million now here online tonight. Another lawsuits coming against
Speaker 1: ABC News because of broadcasting this lie.
Speaker 12: It's like what Bill, I think he kind of answered
Speaker 12: my question. Anyhow. Obama was so pro Harvard. The minute
Speaker 12: they were going to get cut off funding, he went
Speaker 12: immediate to the podium and you know, cried Wolfe about
Speaker 12: it that the universities, you know, especially the poison ivy
Speaker 12: I are so you know, used to become an anti
Speaker 12: American movement. It's not even funny, you know that. I
Speaker 12: know that I hope the American public knows that. So
Speaker 12: you you send your kid to a major university like that,
Speaker 12: a boukoo dollars and he's going to be an un
Speaker 12: American and try to tear this company, I mean, this nation.
Speaker 1: Apart. You know, well, Mark at Mark look at it
Speaker 1: this way. You pay what two hundred thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: go send your kid to some elite college. They come
Speaker 1: out marching Marxist. They come out owing a lot of money.
Speaker 1: May have you paid it? And you come out with
Speaker 1: viewpoints about this country which are at odds to reality.
Speaker 1: They do not teach reality. They teach left wing ideologues
Speaker 1: to become marching Marxist. And how somebody can claim differently
Speaker 1: is beyond me. Whether it's Yale or Harvard or Columbia.
Speaker 1: Why send your kid there to come out as a
Speaker 1: marching Marxist. I don't get it, don't understand it. Hopefully
Speaker 1: I never will. Let's go to Gregan Michigan and then
Speaker 1: calls from Utah and Maryland and Greg and Michigan. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 5: Greg, how are you American patriot? Billy Cunningham, mister positive,
Speaker 5: I got to tell you you. Jeez, I can't even speak.
Speaker 5: You've done your homework, mister positive loves you. But I
Speaker 5: got to ask you two things real quick. Elon Musk
Speaker 5: wants to start a third party? What does he know
Speaker 5: about politics? Number one? And what philosophical platforms would he have?
Speaker 5: And number two? The view? I watch it watched, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: But here's the thing, it's I hope they're listening. You know,
Speaker 5: they're so divisive, they're always one sided. You and I know,
Speaker 5: Billy and my buddy Chris Cuomo. If you want to
Speaker 5: get to the truth, you've got to hear both sides.
Speaker 5: You've got to hear both sides, America. If you only
Speaker 5: listen to one side, it's gonna be biased. It's going
Speaker 5: to be a narrative that fits your thing, fits your
Speaker 5: philosophical stance, but that might not be the truth. But
Speaker 5: this is what I like about Billy c. I mean,
Speaker 5: I love bad to the bone that you play. You
Speaker 5: are a spot on, You are bad to the bone,
Speaker 5: and you make a lot of sense. But I want
Speaker 5: the view, and I want Musk, but more so the
Speaker 5: view to be more level, to be more measured, to
Speaker 5: make sure that you say both sides. I mean here.
Speaker 5: It is real quick. Whoopy will not mention Donald's name,
Speaker 5: whether you like Trump or not, She's one of the
Speaker 5: reasons that there's division. It's all right, Whoopie. You can
Speaker 5: say Donald Trump, say that he might be wrong, but
Speaker 5: you better give a good argument for both sides. And Billy,
Speaker 5: this is what I like about your show. It's that
Speaker 5: you are trying to get to the truth, that you
Speaker 5: are not spinning a narrative that is just one sided.
Speaker 5: One hundred thousand people like you said, really, how do
Speaker 5: you know? You're exactly spot on? Billy, mister positive wants
Speaker 5: everyone to go for your dreams and keep being you.
Speaker 5: Billy and the Marconi Awards, I am very impressed, and
Speaker 5: you know, just keep on being you. And you know
Speaker 5: hear both sides. Though I have no.
Speaker 1: Problem with being a great American, I have no problem
Speaker 1: being I am. And when you listen to talk radio,
Speaker 1: you listen to Mark Levin, my favorite, listen to Sean Hannity,
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, Rush Limball, the greatest talk
Speaker 1: show host of all time, didn't make it in TV,
Speaker 1: and Bill O'Reilly, maybe the greatest cable star of all time,
Speaker 1: couldn't make it in radio. But Sean Hannity dominates radio
Speaker 1: and dominates TV because when you listen in or watch,
Speaker 1: you know the viewpoint you're gonna hear when you when
Speaker 1: you listen to me on Sunday Nights, I'm gonna conservative
Speaker 1: of libertarian influences, and I present a viewpoint. I do
Speaker 1: not tell you I'm objective. I'm a journalist. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you the truth, unvarnished. I have an opinion, and
Speaker 1: when you call in, you understand that I have that viewpoint.
Speaker 1: That is not the case of NBC, CBS, ABC, etc.
Speaker 1: PBS is the worst that they present themselves and lie
Speaker 1: to you by saying we're journalists when in reality they're
Speaker 1: left rowing audiologues and they trick people into believing lies
Speaker 1: because it fits their bias. And the last election, if
Speaker 1: a person received most or all of their news from
Speaker 1: the mainstream media outlets, they voted Democrat eighty two percent
Speaker 1: of the time because you didn't get a different viewpoint.
Speaker 1: I spend time. I cannot watch the view that's a
Speaker 1: bridge too far from me. But I often will watch
Speaker 1: MSNBC so you don't have to. I watch Dana Bash
Speaker 1: on CNN so you don't have to I try to
Speaker 1: watch Laura Coats in the Evening and Abby Philip because
Speaker 1: that means you don't have to. They pretend as if
Speaker 1: they're objective, were just the opposite is true, So they
Speaker 1: lie to you in a regular basis to allow public
Speaker 1: airwaves to be used to accuse our president of killing
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand Americans.
Speaker 6: The ill Budget Lab estimates that it will kill over
Speaker 6: ten years one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 7: That is two thousand days of death.
Speaker 1: That's Larry Summers broadcasted by ABC News and George Stephanopolis
Speaker 1: going to get sued again and probably pay off again
Speaker 1: because that is false. It is a lie. There are
Speaker 1: no cuts to medicaid. In fact, Medicaid spending is going
Speaker 1: up now. If you're an illegal alien or you're a freeloader,
Speaker 1: you hopefully will be cut off Medicaid by the federal
Speaker 1: government and cooperation with the states, and it should be
Speaker 1: that way. That's the Clintonesta approach about government benefits to
Speaker 1: able bodied American adults. So if you're able bodied, get
Speaker 1: the hell off Medicaid and food stamps, go to work.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, if you're illegal, you should get
Speaker 1: zero benefits. Overall benefits spending for medicaid is going up
Speaker 1: every year for the next ten years. As far as
Speaker 1: I can see, only in Washington is an increase of
Speaker 1: four to six percent considered a cut only in Washington. Well,
Speaker 1: let's continue. We have full lines. Of course, of a
Speaker 1: line becomes available, next call be from Utah and then Maryland,
Speaker 1: then Florida and Idaho and many places in between. We
Speaker 1: have time for your call. Eight six six six four
Speaker 1: seven seven three three seven. Bill cunning in the Great
Speaker 1: American with you every Sunday. By Billy Cunning in the
Speaker 1: Great American. Let's continue. The Big Beautiful Bill has passed
Speaker 1: sign on the fourth of July, and the left uses
Speaker 1: this as an occasion to riot in cities like Portland,
Speaker 1: Oregon and Seattle. Have millions protesting all over the country
Speaker 1: on the fourth of July. You know, we spoke practically
Speaker 1: everything in the Big Beautiful Bill is something that Donald
Speaker 1: said he would do if elected. Go down the line
Speaker 1: he's keeping promises. So in a democratic way, with a
Speaker 1: small d we voted. Fifty seven million plus of us said,
Speaker 1: you know what, that's what I want. I want to
Speaker 1: I believe that if we elect this guy, he's going
Speaker 1: to give us things like continuation of the tax cuts
Speaker 1: and a child tax credit and no taxes and overtime
Speaker 1: and tips, and social security reduction and funding the border wall,
Speaker 1: and increasing defense spending and reforming medicaid even though it's
Speaker 1: increasing and spending every year. Illegal should not be on it.
Speaker 1: We have to do something about the salt cap that
Speaker 1: byther we went up to forty thousand dollars over my
Speaker 1: objections and many others. So going down the top list
Speaker 1: of the bottom, he said exactly what he was going
Speaker 1: to do, and damnit, he did it. And now it's
Speaker 1: been passed and there's two or three more reconciliation bills coming.
Speaker 1: This is in the end of it is the beginning.
Speaker 1: The Democrats fear success. They'd rather have the country lose
Speaker 1: as long as they get power back. And if Trump
Speaker 1: is successful over the next almost year and a half
Speaker 1: until the next election, there'll be more jobs, there will
Speaker 1: be less budget deficit, the southern border will be more secure,
Speaker 1: the military with the Golden Dome will be in better shape,
Speaker 1: and working class Americans will get a tax break. Not
Speaker 1: too many rich people I know rely upon tips. Not
Speaker 1: too many rich people I know rely upon social security.
Speaker 1: Not too many rich, rich people I know pay tax
Speaker 1: on overtime. It doesn't happen. This is a working class
Speaker 1: bill that probably ninety percent of this, if on the
Speaker 1: ballot by itself, would easily pass. But by the time
Speaker 1: the mainstream media gets done smearing Donald Trump and calling
Speaker 1: him a killer of one hundred thousand people, one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand America is going to be killed.
Speaker 6: But the ill Budget Lab estimates that it will kill
Speaker 6: over ten years, one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 1: That's ABC News George Deefanoppos's friend and guest Larry Summers.
Speaker 1: This morning headline is ABC News about to get sued
Speaker 1: again because that is untethered to reality and the Democrats
Speaker 1: fear success. What happens if these things work as they
Speaker 1: always have been with John F. Kennedy Ronald Reagan on
Speaker 1: the first Trump term, you have minuscule tax reductions generating
Speaker 1: more economic activity, meaning there's less deficit, less debt, more
Speaker 1: people are working, happy days. You're here again. It's morning
Speaker 1: in America. Every time it's been tried, it's worked, and
Speaker 1: the Democrats fear it's going to work. So the messaging
Speaker 1: needs to get out that Donald Trump's going to kill
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand Americans. What wow. Let's continue with your
Speaker 1: calls all over the country. If line becomes available eight
Speaker 1: sixty six six four seven seven three three seven. Bill
Speaker 1: cunning and the Grand American with you. And by the way,
Speaker 1: all great Americans on this fourth of July weekend, celebration
Speaker 1: with you every Sunday night, Franell. Let's continue. Whenever stop,
Speaker 1: we simply continue if line ever becomes available eight sixty
Speaker 1: six six four seven seven three three seven. They have
Speaker 1: a sense the media and the Democrats are rooting against
Speaker 1: the success of our great nation. That they want it
Speaker 1: to fail makes them feel better, confirms their viewpoint of
Speaker 1: this country. And the younger you are, the more edge
Speaker 1: that you are, the more indoctrinated you are, the more
Speaker 1: you have ill feelings about America. Garbage in, garbage out.
Speaker 1: One cannot watch the mainstream media or read a big
Speaker 1: city newspaper and think, boy, this is a great place
Speaker 1: to live. I can't wait to get up the moorrow morning.
Speaker 1: It's going to be better. Are you kidding me? You
Speaker 1: can't do it? And it's sick and it's said, I've
Speaker 1: not read this. I'm told by a senator, a friend
Speaker 1: of mine that PBS and NPR has been defunded, but
Speaker 1: now they have lawsuits pending to keep their funding coming.
Speaker 1: By the way, aren't I public radio? Yes, Premiere, et cetera.
Speaker 1: The number of stations I'm on, the outlets I have
Speaker 1: from Collier County all the way through Atlaska to why
Speaker 1: Over to Maine. Isn't the great American Bill Cunningham? Aren't
Speaker 1: I involved in public radio? I'm in the public and
Speaker 1: I'm in radio. But the government doesn't pay me five
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars a year to broadcast my viewpoints? Why
Speaker 1: do we have Lowsey NPR And every now and then
Speaker 1: PBS says something on I may want to watch, Like
Speaker 1: the Roosevelt thing over the weekend was pretty good, but
Speaker 1: by the way, his policies FDR policies didn't work. Despite
Speaker 1: all the media fawning over FDR, he took over in
Speaker 1: March of nineteen thirty three, and things are just as
Speaker 1: bad in thirty seven, thirty eight as they were in
Speaker 1: thirty one, thirty two, and thirty His policies didn't work,
Speaker 1: but the media loved the guy. But nonetheless, we don't
Speaker 1: need a public broadcaster right now because I am public
Speaker 1: broadcasting and so's so's this Sunday Morning with George Stefanoppli's GMA.
Speaker 1: That's public and they're talking about Donald Trump killing one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people over the next ten years because of
Speaker 1: non existent Medicaid cuts. Yes, if you're here illegally, you
Speaker 1: may be cut off Medicaid because that's the law. And
Speaker 1: if you're a free loader using the Clinton rule, don't
Speaker 1: get government benefits. If you're able to work, go work,
Speaker 1: get off snap. Other than that, there are no cuts
Speaker 1: to medicaid. But public broadcasters are saying that the President's
Speaker 1: going to kill one hundred thousand Americans? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the telephone calls as time allows.
Speaker 1: Coming up later. See Jeff the Great Jeff crewe Heir
Speaker 1: who wrote a book, a column, and a book about
Speaker 1: the great things Donald Trump is doing. And I want
Speaker 1: to post in the question how do we have a
Speaker 1: great country if our top twenty American cities are in
Speaker 1: complete collapse? I don't know. Can you walk through the
Speaker 1: streets of Chicago Michigan Avenue at this hour and after
Speaker 1: a great Cubs victory over the Cardinals and survive? Can
Speaker 1: you walk around Los Angeles or San Francisco or Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Try being a couple coming out of the
Speaker 1: Jewish Embassy in Washington. Can you walk around downtown Memphis
Speaker 1: or Atlanta? I don't think so. It's dangerous, and no
Speaker 1: rightful parent, given a choice whatever send their kids to
Speaker 1: public schools because little or no education is occurring anyway.
Speaker 1: It's awful. And so there needs to be almost a
Speaker 1: Marshall plan for the major cities in this country. We
Speaker 1: get the government we deserve, so the voters in these towns.
Speaker 1: I met over the weekend a resident of Chicago who
Speaker 1: listens to me every sun in that on GN and thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, why don't I've asked her how come Chicago
Speaker 1: has not had a Republican mayor? She said, in one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years. I said, how bad things have
Speaker 1: to be under the dailies. It wasn't that bad. There
Speaker 1: were Democrats, but they were normal Democrats. What's happening with
Speaker 1: Lorie Lightfoot now and Johnson are truly unbelievable. And he's
Speaker 1: up for election. I guess either this year or next,
Speaker 1: and if the voters don't turn him out, you get
Speaker 1: what you deserve. Karen Bass has likely be re elected
Speaker 1: the mayor of Los Angeles, for God's sakes, and didn't
Speaker 1: think I'd ever say this, but I kind of hope
Speaker 1: Mayor Adams wins re election in New York City. Other
Speaker 1: than the alternative. I don't know if he's a communist,
Speaker 1: but he certainly is a Marxist. Unbelievable. Let's go back
Speaker 1: to the calls William in Salt Lake City and William
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show,
Speaker 1: and William, how are you?
Speaker 10: I needed the greatest American I could find anywhere. I
Speaker 10: thought I'd give you a call.
Speaker 1: God bless America. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 10: Okay, I remember when Rush got three phone calls from
Speaker 10: guys saying, why don't we drop back and let him
Speaker 10: take it once? Just to show what they would do
Speaker 10: for an example. Well, they stole Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and it's
Speaker 10: thanks so bad we could smell it over here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a big garbage strike. It's terrible. What large American
Speaker 1: city controlled by Democrats for more than fifty years is
Speaker 1: well run, safe, plenty of good jobs, a respectful police division,
Speaker 1: in good public schools. Give me the name of that city.
Speaker 10: I think they stole it as what I think they
Speaker 10: did that election.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll say by the Chinese drivers line. Question was no.
Speaker 10: Second question was what would the benefits to the Second
Speaker 10: Amendment in the Great Big Blue Bill.
Speaker 1: Oh, having the synopsis, I see there's something to do
Speaker 1: with silencers. There was supposed to be some effort to
Speaker 1: illegalize silencers, and that didn't happen. So the Second Amendment
Speaker 1: has left to I think right now the Second Amendments
Speaker 1: in pretty good shape, except in the major cities in
Speaker 1: which they keep passing law saying you can't protect yourself.
Speaker 1: In fact, if the next Mayor of New York is elected,
Speaker 1: we may have a circumstance where he's going to try
Speaker 1: to confiscate all the guns in New York City. He
Speaker 1: wants he wants no bail for criminal offenses. He wants
Speaker 1: to eliminate as much as possible, eliminate all the court
Speaker 1: system and the police. It's really unbelievable, I.
Speaker 10: Pic sure in New York City completely surrounded. Well, my
Speaker 10: third point was, wo must go ahead and start a party.
Speaker 10: Go ahead. I understand he's not a US citizen. He
Speaker 10: was born in Southend, Africa.
Speaker 1: Well, he's legal, I guess in a sense. But Elon
Speaker 1: Musk will have little or no success with the third party.
Speaker 1: Talk to Ross Perrau about that. In fact, if I'm
Speaker 1: a shareholder of one of the companies owned by Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: he's getting sued by hundreds of shareholders because the CEO
Speaker 1: is not devoting his time to the success of the
Speaker 1: business he ought to spend his time. He's built great
Speaker 1: businesses and he's from South Africa, which is fine. Came
Speaker 1: into the country legally. He built these huge businesses. But
Speaker 1: every now and then I think he loses his way.
Speaker 1: And by that I mean Elon Musk gotta worry about
Speaker 1: business and leave politics alone. What do you think about that.
Speaker 10: Sixth te for Tyrannus?
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. Well let's continue And I have
Speaker 1: a text here for my good friend, and I mean
Speaker 1: my good friend Bootsy Collins. Hey, this is Bootsy Colleges.
Speaker 1: He said, don't hate on PBS. I think they do
Speaker 1: a good job. I don't like the politics BS. They
Speaker 1: weave it into writing. They should have to put the
Speaker 1: opposite views on these stations. I Bootsy Collins in the
Speaker 1: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the best there is
Speaker 1: backed up James Brown, front man couldn't agree more if
Speaker 1: PPS and NPR. By the way, PPS has lots of
Speaker 1: good series I watch every now and then, but NPR
Speaker 1: especially to give the other viewpoint. That's all I'm saying
Speaker 1: that government should not fund left wing extremist government. If
Speaker 1: they have a funding of a public broadcaster should have
Speaker 1: equal time. But I think it's unnecessary completely in today's world,
Speaker 1: with the Internet, with podcasts, et cetera. But he ends.
Speaker 1: Bootsy ends up to me by saying, much love Bill.
Speaker 1: I love your shows, and you Bootsy Collins. If you
Speaker 1: were a woman, i'd kiss you right on the lips.
Speaker 1: I love Bootsy Collins. Let's continue in your calls and
Speaker 1: see maybe I shouldn't have said that, but I love
Speaker 1: Bootsy Collins. And now let's continue now with Chris and
Speaker 1: Fort Collins, Colorado. I believe Chris and Colorado. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. Chris, how are you?
Speaker 13: I'm doing great, Bill, Thanks for having me, and thanks
Speaker 13: to being a great American.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 13: I got a two part question. First of all, you
Speaker 13: being a big libertarian. Me myself, I'm a libertarian. And
Speaker 13: as far as this too, you know this Elon Musk
Speaker 13: Party thing. What happened to Elon? I thought he was
Speaker 13: the dodge King all of a sudden. When it comes
Speaker 13: to killing his programs, he's not for killing government waste.
Speaker 13: What's up with that, Chris.
Speaker 1: I'll say this that when you get into a fight
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump, there's not been too many have succeeded
Speaker 1: in that pugilistic effort. And I don't get it. Elon
Speaker 1: Musk receives literally billions of dollars from the federal government,
Speaker 1: and right or wrong, good or bad, Donald Trump has
Speaker 1: the ability to severely impact his businesses in a negative way.
Speaker 1: Whenever a businessman gets involved in politics and want to
Speaker 1: sell products to everyone across the political spectrum, you're making
Speaker 1: a mistake. And one thing I think Elon and Muscot
Speaker 1: to do is to vote more of his time and
Speaker 1: talents to his businesses and which shareholders demand his time
Speaker 1: and talents to increase the value of their holdings. Elon
Speaker 1: must do. He spent months and months on the campaign trail.
Speaker 1: What was he spending with Tesla or SpaceX or He's
Speaker 1: got fifty other businesses and God bless him, he helped
Speaker 1: I think Donald Trump get elected. Honestly, his money he
Speaker 1: spent about a quarter of a billion dollars promoting Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He spent about eighty million dollars in the Wisconsin Supreme
Speaker 1: Court race. That didn't work at all, by the way,
Speaker 1: and his time and talents is in business, not politics.
Speaker 1: And so if I'm a shareholder, I'm concerned about a
Speaker 1: leader who's more involved in politics than business. His goal
Speaker 1: is a business owner ought to be doing and hands
Speaker 1: value for the shareholders. It should not be to get
Speaker 1: in politics because you want to sell. When I was
Speaker 1: actively involved in the chicken wing business, I own a
Speaker 1: bunch of chicken wing restaurants.
Speaker 5: Hell.
Speaker 1: I wanted to sell chicken wings, the Democrats, Republicans, to white, black, brown, green, purple, dot.
Speaker 1: I want to sell chicken wings to everybody. I didn't
Speaker 1: want anybody get angry at me because of politics. And
Speaker 1: I buy my chicken wings. And so if I'm Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: you ought to be in the business of maximizing shareholder
Speaker 1: value and let politics die on the vine. He was
Speaker 1: very useful to Donald Trump. But I would not want
Speaker 1: in a fight with that guy, would you.
Speaker 13: Well, it's pretty obvious, Yeah, don't you don't pick a
Speaker 13: fight with Donald Trump. No, he doesn't forget. No, he
Speaker 13: doesn't forget. And you know, Elon did great, So I'm
Speaker 13: a big Elon fan, but I don't know why he flipped.
Speaker 13: But my second question is this, what happened to the
Speaker 13: sales of government land and Sean Ryan all right getting
Speaker 13: people to stop that.
Speaker 4: Did it go through?
Speaker 1: It did not? It did not a center. Mike Lee
Speaker 1: was another one who wanted to sell off millions of
Speaker 1: acres of government land. And it's not in the big
Speaker 1: beautiful bill.
Speaker 13: And how do you feel. What's your opinion on government
Speaker 13: land ownership and should it just be national parks? And
Speaker 13: how much do we own? And should we sell it?
Speaker 1: We should sell as much as possible and use the
Speaker 1: money to pay off the national debt, which is confiscatory
Speaker 1: of our children's future. We cannot have a country that
Speaker 1: spends a trillion dollars year in interest. And if these
Speaker 1: two trillion dollars a year deficits continue, and that's what
Speaker 1: Trump says is going to happen for a long time. Well,
Speaker 1: we're going to be spending two trillion dollars in interest
Speaker 1: on the national debt ten years from now. And we're
Speaker 1: as close to that as we are of the year
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen when the Trump's it came down the escalator.
Speaker 1: My only disappointment with him is a failure to cut
Speaker 1: government spending in a more serious way. He did everything
Speaker 1: he could. Look what the Democrats and the media are
Speaker 1: doing with the guy when he's increasing Medicaid spending by
Speaker 1: four to six percent every year. He's called a killer
Speaker 1: by ABC News, George Sephanopolis and Larry Summers. And you
Speaker 1: can imagine the real money is in Social Security and
Speaker 1: Medicare and Medicaid. And you know it put me in charge.
Speaker 1: You got to increase the retirement age significantly. If you're
Speaker 1: rich and retired, you should not get Social Security at all.
Speaker 1: And it just seems to me the solutions are obvious,
Speaker 1: but the government can't do them because look how Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is attacked for increasing spending on Medicaid. He's called
Speaker 1: a killer for increasing it but not increasing it enough.
Speaker 1: And that is ridiculous. Thanks for your call. Is continue
Speaker 1: the line becomes available, which it never does eight sixty
Speaker 1: six six four seven seven three three seven. Whenever I
Speaker 1: get a text from the Great Bootsy Collins puts a
Speaker 1: big smile on my face. Bill Cunningham, with you every
Speaker 1: Sunday Night. Let's continue in every stop, we simply continue.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite columnists is Cheff crue Heir. He's
Speaker 1: a native New Orleans and Los Angeles and ringside politics
Speaker 1: this his genre, has written many books on the subject,
Speaker 1: and I had him on a few months ago about
Speaker 1: what happened New Orleans with that Islamic radical that killed
Speaker 1: so many on Bourbon Street and how the incompetence of
Speaker 1: New Orleans police allowed it to take place. And their
Speaker 1: mayor is a typical mayor of a big city, spending
Speaker 1: large amounts of money on stupid stuff and not fully
Speaker 1: funding law enforcement in one sense or another. And New
Speaker 1: Orleans is one of those great cities that it's a
Speaker 1: nice place to visit. I wouldn't want to live there.
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Memphis nice place to visit. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: it's a nice place to visit. I had on your
Speaker 1: friend and mine, Wayne Allen Root last week, who said
Speaker 1: that if you live in Los Angeles, you don't drive
Speaker 1: a nice car worth a one hundred grand or more
Speaker 1: because the gang bangers will are wedge you in and
Speaker 1: put guns up against the windshield and just steal rob
Speaker 1: you right there. There's about one hundred and twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand gang members in Los Angeles. One hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: five thousand members of gangs. There's about another one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand that are homeless, individuals on drugs, using drugs on
Speaker 1: city streets, urinating, fornicating, defecating in public, and tents living
Speaker 1: in streets with filth everywhere, Rampant crime, non existent law enforcement.
Speaker 1: LAPD is thoroughly demoralized. They don't want to rest anybody.
Speaker 1: Taxes are confiscatory, and that's the true of many great
Speaker 1: American cities. Had opulent, wonderful, soaring American municipalities, and the
Speaker 1: last twenty to thirty years they've gone right down the crap.
Speaker 1: Or Democrats functioned for large parts running big cities, like
Speaker 1: the Dailies in Chicago, or the Bloomberg who was a Democrat,
Speaker 1: really ran New York City for twelve years, did a
Speaker 1: pretty damn good job, and they were good mayors in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. But right now the cities are ruined. Can
Speaker 1: we be a great nation long term? If every major
Speaker 1: American city is in total collapse? Can that happen? And
Speaker 1: Jeff Crer has written some columns about the looming threat
Speaker 1: to our homeland. We got through fourth of July without
Speaker 1: the Iranians terrorists let into the country by Joe Biden
Speaker 1: do anything too dastardly that we're aware of. Of course,
Speaker 1: the run of the mill. About one hundred people were
Speaker 1: shot this weekend in city of Chicago and my city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. This year, there's going to be five hundred
Speaker 1: people shot in the little city of Cincinnati, and it's
Speaker 1: going to be what twenty twenty five thousand murders. There'll
Speaker 1: be more than one hundred and fifty thousand people wounded
Speaker 1: on the streets of America and the large cities. It's awful.
Speaker 1: Crime takes place everywhere, but the frequency of crime and
Speaker 1: the major cities is despicable. And now that the Iranian
Speaker 1: terrorists have gotten the green light to attack us, I
Speaker 1: guess all of us are holding our breath until the
Speaker 1: attacks come from Islamic terrorists, including the burning of Jews
Speaker 1: openly in Colorado, the gunning down of Jewish couples in Washington,
Speaker 1: d c. Governor's home Shapiro, and Pennsylvania was firebombed, and
Speaker 1: this unspeakable violence is happening, and cities proceed Willy Nelly
Speaker 1: as if it's okay. Well it's not okay. We cannot
Speaker 1: be a great nation with large American cities in complete collapse.
Speaker 1: And I've write columns, let la burn, let them go,
Speaker 1: leave Chicago alone. If the voters will not throw out
Speaker 1: the bums and the derelicts, why should the general American
Speaker 1: taxpayer under the assistance of people in Chicago. If you're
Speaker 1: not willing yourself to get rid of the feckless, foolish
Speaker 1: Marxist that runs city government, why should we and of
Speaker 1: New York City in November really elects a communist slash Marxist. Well,
Speaker 1: many say let them live with it, live with it.
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that's the case. But I do
Speaker 1: not believe as a great American myself that we can
Speaker 1: long survive as a great nation if every major American
Speaker 1: city is in complete collapse. And that's what's happening. So
Speaker 1: stay tuned. I'm going to put a call in the
Speaker 1: Jeff crue Heir and UH and New Orleans about what's
Speaker 1: happening New Orleans, the looming threat to our homeland. He's
Speaker 1: got to call them up about how cities are run
Speaker 1: today later on as Steve gorm On Weather and things
Speaker 1: of that character. If line becomes available eight sixty six
Speaker 1: six four seven seven three three seven Bill cunning and
Speaker 1: the Great American with you and all great Americans every Sunday.
Speaker 5: Night, Willie.
Speaker 2: Bad the Ball rock you by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge
Speaker 2: and Roadway In Hotels are serving up double points for
Speaker 2: every qualifying stay book at Choice hotels dot com. Now
Speaker 2: here's the man who's been recognized. There's radio's best, the
Speaker 2: recipient of not one but two prestigious Marconi Awards for
Speaker 2: his broadcast excellence, the one and only Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 1: By Bully Cunningham, the Grand American once again. Fourth, My
Speaker 1: weekend is fabulous. It's celebrating the two hundred and forty
Speaker 1: ninth birthday, two hundred and fifty. Next year, unfortunately for
Speaker 1: the Democrats and the Liberals, even going to be better
Speaker 1: after all the BBB and everything passes. After another year
Speaker 1: of it, the numbers are going to be more incredible.
Speaker 1: Of course, the market is up, the job creation is
Speaker 1: breaking records the last four months way up. The border
Speaker 1: is down, which is a good thing because illegals aren't
Speaker 1: coming into the country. The Trumpster wins at the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: He's dropping those bunker buster bombs all over Iran. Gasoline
Speaker 1: prices are basically below three dollars a gallon might be
Speaker 1: two dollars by the time in other years, two goes by,
Speaker 1: and Iran is now subjugated. Everywhere I look, I see
Speaker 1: greatness happening, except when I listened to a Democrat like
Speaker 1: Akeem Jefferies once again. Jeff crue Air is a great author,
Speaker 1: radio talk show host, many columns up at Jeffcruair dot com.
Speaker 1: And Jeff once again, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: And you have a great column up about how the
Speaker 1: big beautiful Bill is going to keep energy industry strong.
Speaker 1: Anyone who's driving this weekend understands what's been going on.
Speaker 1: So just get me an overview of the most important,
Speaker 1: the greatest six months I think any president has had
Speaker 1: outside of FDR and the behavior of our good friend
Speaker 1: Donald Trump.
Speaker 14: I mean, it's been amazing, Bill, you outlined it. I'd
Speaker 14: like to just start on the border. I mean I
Speaker 14: think that, I mean, of all the great accomplishments, and
Speaker 14: you hit them all. I mean, reducing the invasion of
Speaker 14: the border to zero. Going from twenty million to zero
Speaker 14: in the span of five and a half months is
Speaker 14: just unbelievable. And you know, it's just been a testament
Speaker 14: to the fact that President Trump has made it a priority.
Speaker 14: He's put a lot of effort into it. The border
Speaker 14: patrol now is unleashed. They can do their job. Ice
Speaker 14: is trying to do their job. All the Democrats is
Speaker 14: trying to stop them everywhere they turn around them. They
Speaker 14: try to prevent them from deporting criminal alien illegals from
Speaker 14: our country.
Speaker 4: But I mean, it's just it's going to.
Speaker 14: Take a while to recover from the massive influx that
Speaker 14: we had during Biden to.
Speaker 4: Round up all these people.
Speaker 14: My prayer is that there's not going to be any
Speaker 14: kind of an attack launched by any sleeper sales or
Speaker 14: any kind of you know, terrorist group that has been
Speaker 14: led into this country by Joe Biden. But we have
Speaker 14: stopped it, and that is just amazing, as it can
Speaker 14: get even better with more of the resources going towards
Speaker 14: the border wall and border patrols. So that's just been
Speaker 14: an incredible accomplishment.
Speaker 1: Film and Jeff Career. The last couple of years, we've
Speaker 1: been told repeatedly by the Democratic Party. Biden does not
Speaker 1: have the power to do shut down the Southern boarder.
Speaker 1: He can't do that. Win need a lot more agents,
Speaker 1: winning a twenty five billion dollar bill to not build fences,
Speaker 1: but a higher more administrative judges, and more lawyers. It
Speaker 1: can't be done. Well, what what the hell happened to
Speaker 1: that argument? What happened to the fact that he needs
Speaker 1: more money? We got? What happened?
Speaker 14: Well, we were lied to, as we have been so
Speaker 14: many times over the years by Democrats, and it just
Speaker 14: took a new president, That's all it took. And it
Speaker 14: took an emphasis on the issue. And we now had
Speaker 14: that security knowing that we've got a border where we're.
Speaker 4: Not being invaded anymore.
Speaker 14: But we do have the problem that still needs to
Speaker 14: be tackled of the millions of illegals that are here
Speaker 14: in the country. We need to take away their benefits.
Speaker 14: I mean, they're illegals. Shouldn't be getting medicaid, illegals shouldn't
Speaker 14: be getting constitutional rights. I mean, these people are I'm sorry,
Speaker 14: when you cross the border illegally, you commit a crime.
Speaker 4: The Criminals Bill, they're criminals.
Speaker 1: As far. You have a great column up about a
Speaker 1: story I'm told and we pray to God it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: It says looming threat to our homeland under date of
Speaker 1: June twenty third, about ten days ago, in which you
Speaker 1: lay out Operation mid not Hammer, how good it was.
Speaker 1: But there's a concern what's happening to the homeland. And
Speaker 1: there's a concern that we've not seen the end of
Speaker 1: Iranian influences. I know there was a concern after Operation
Speaker 1: min not Hammer was so successful with those bunker buster bombs,
Speaker 1: the media quickly had to undermine what Trump had done
Speaker 1: because it was too good for him to had to
Speaker 1: undermine it quickly. But there's another concern about the sleeper cells.
Speaker 1: Explain what happened the past four years from the southern
Speaker 1: border and how those Biden sleeper cells are all over
Speaker 1: the country right.
Speaker 14: Well, the estimates are that people flooded in here from
Speaker 14: anywhere between one hundred and sixty to two hundred nations.
Speaker 14: That between twenty twenty one and January twenty twenty five,
Speaker 14: up to twenty million people.
Speaker 4: Flooded in here.
Speaker 14: I've heard differing amounts, but let's just say maybe fifteen
Speaker 14: million be conservative.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we university study.
Speaker 14: He had estimated that we had twenty two million illegals
Speaker 14: here in twenty eighteen, so you add another fifteen million
Speaker 14: to that, possibly thirty seven million. We keep hearing from
Speaker 14: the media that there's only eleven million. Of course that's ridiculous.
Speaker 14: They've been using that number for thirty years. And among
Speaker 14: these people are you know, Iranians that were allowed in
Speaker 14: here by the Biden administration. Iranian nationals twelve hundred and
Speaker 14: seventy two. They found Iranian passports, They found prayer rugs
Speaker 14: at the border of this massive number at least two
Speaker 14: million or what they called godaways that were not processed,
Speaker 14: that flooded in here and went who knows where, who
Speaker 14: knows who they are. Tom Holman says it keeps him
Speaker 14: up at tonight if he's worried.
Speaker 4: I'm worried. This is a guy.
Speaker 14: Who is an absolute rock star. I mean, we got
Speaker 14: a borders are now. Remember we used to have Kamala Harris, he.
Speaker 4: Was our borders are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Czarina.
Speaker 14: But now we know we got a guy that the
Speaker 14: President Trump said came out of Central casting. I mean,
Speaker 14: this is the guy that you want to be the
Speaker 14: borders are.
Speaker 4: A tough guy.
Speaker 14: That's who we need, and he's doing a great job.
Speaker 14: Of course, they're trying to prevent ice from from doing
Speaker 14: their work. They're trying to create protests and chaos and
Speaker 14: all the big cities, and yeah, we cannot allow that.
Speaker 4: Bill.
Speaker 1: Well, one thing that I see in New Orleans and
Speaker 1: you have to live it. I live a little bit
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. And Cincinnati we have something called the red bikes,
Speaker 1: which are these temporary means that like a little little
Speaker 1: mopeds you can put your credit card in a way
Speaker 1: you go and we're going to have this weekend. You
Speaker 1: can't get a red bike because in downtown Cincinnati or
Speaker 1: OTR because of all the car break ins and thievery happening.
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, why we can't operate an electric moped anymore?
Speaker 1: Or in New Orleans you have about the worst mayor,
Speaker 1: unless when you consider I think Karen Bass and Brandon
Speaker 1: Johnson is pretty bad. Of course, the next mayor of
Speaker 1: New York City would be a joke. You have a
Speaker 1: terrible And I'm thinking, can we have a great country
Speaker 1: when our major cities are in complete collapse?
Speaker 4: You know that is a great point.
Speaker 14: Every one of these cities is a disaster zone, and
Speaker 14: it's because the residents of those cities keep electing these progresses.
Speaker 4: And in New York, there.
Speaker 14: On the verge of electing a communist, we have LaToya
Speaker 14: the destroya cantrell as our mayor. She is someone that
Speaker 14: has destroyed the economy. She's traveled all over the world
Speaker 14: to go to climate change conferences and conferences that are
Speaker 14: put on by the UN and the Bloomberg Institute and
Speaker 14: the Aspen Institute. Yeah, we've got a city that needs
Speaker 14: governing and she cannot care less about New Orleans and
Speaker 14: wants to just travel over the world. And that's what
Speaker 14: we see in a lot of these other big cities
Speaker 14: mayors that aren't focused on the job. So yeah, I
Speaker 14: mean it's at some point the residents of these areas
Speaker 14: are going to have to wake up and see, hey,
Speaker 14: what we're.
Speaker 4: Doing is not working.
Speaker 14: I mean, these mayors, these policies don't work. Socialism doesn't work, Bill,
Speaker 14: There's no example of it working anywhere in the world.
Speaker 14: It doesn't work. And maybe they'll finally start changing how
Speaker 14: they vote.
Speaker 1: You know, it begins with a public education which is
Speaker 1: in complete collapse. And I can't imagine going to a
Speaker 1: New Orleans public school as a broad eyed, six year
Speaker 1: old first grader, ready to learn and what you have
Speaker 1: to confront. I can't imagine going to school in Chicago
Speaker 1: public schools. I know what's like. In Cincinnati. It's a
Speaker 1: terrible public schools that are more and more expensive. New
Speaker 1: York City's got to be worse. Hell, there's over one
Speaker 1: hundred different languages spoken in New York City. You have
Speaker 1: to have different interpreters for every classroom. It's completely dysfunctional.
Speaker 1: In La County schools right now, the academic standards are
Speaker 1: below Bangladesh. And in Philadelphia, hell, they can't pick up
Speaker 1: the garbage. And in Chicago this weekend there's going to
Speaker 1: be about ten people murdered and fifty people shot. And
Speaker 1: then the solution I'm looking at, ma'am don on these
Speaker 1: positions to bring to New York City, our greatest supposedly
Speaker 1: our greatest city with eight and a half million residents,
Speaker 1: he says, we're gonna defund the police, We're gonna abolish
Speaker 1: the prison system. We're gonna have no bail for someone arrested.
Speaker 1: We're gonna prohibit state operated hospitals from suing anyone who
Speaker 1: doesn't pay a bill. We're gonna have universal health care
Speaker 1: for everybody, everyone who walks into an emergency room. We're
Speaker 1: gonna ban all private ownership of guns. We're gonna decriminalize
Speaker 1: sex work. We're gonna provide safe injection zones and sites
Speaker 1: with needles for illegal drugs that the city in New
Speaker 1: York's is gonna buy being the drug business. Or we're
Speaker 1: gonna decriminalize drug possession and end cooperation with federal officials.
Speaker 1: How we look at a New York city. If this
Speaker 1: guy gets elected, I'm gonna.
Speaker 14: Make a bowl prediction on your show. I think he
Speaker 14: will not be elected. Okay, I think enough people will
Speaker 14: come to their senses.
Speaker 4: There and not elect this guy. He's a communist.
Speaker 14: The problem with it is they're going to eventually run
Speaker 14: out of other people's money. You know, Margaret Thatcher's famous
Speaker 14: saying about socialism.
Speaker 4: That's the problem.
Speaker 14: And all the people that are rich in New York,
Speaker 14: if these are going to be the policies, they're going
Speaker 14: to start leaving. I mean, Palm Beach will benefit, Florida
Speaker 14: will benefit, but New York certainly won't. He's so radical.
Speaker 14: Kathy Hochel hasn't gotten on board with him. Chuck Schumer
Speaker 14: hasn't gotten on board with him. I mean he does
Speaker 14: have AOC. He does have the most radical member of Congress, AOC, who,
Speaker 14: by the way, in one poll that I saw Democrats
Speaker 14: looking in twenty twenty eight, was running number two in
Speaker 14: the presidential line up, behind Pete Buddha Judge, another failure,
Speaker 14: the mayor of South ben Indiana, who's never accomplished anything.
Speaker 14: So that two the Democrats are presenting in twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 14: Mayor Pete AOC. Kamala Harris is so terrible. She is
Speaker 14: behind those guys. So they're in a world of hurt.
Speaker 1: Bill I would say this, Jeff Carr, I think it's
Speaker 1: a great idea. I think AOC for president and maybe
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett for VP, and then have Jeff and have
Speaker 1: Booted Jets secretary of State. And I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: we get the government we deserve. And so AOC's path
Speaker 1: to the Senate is wide open against Chuck Schumer in
Speaker 1: twenty six in fact, she's thirty points up on Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 1: And so I know what's going to happen in New
Speaker 1: York and the Empire State if AOC runs for the Senate. Damn,
Speaker 1: She's gonna win.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 1: Lastly, the big Beautiful bill has exemptions for Americans who
Speaker 1: work for tips, who enjoy getting overtime pay, and those
Speaker 1: on Social Security. The last time I checked Jeff Bezos
Speaker 1: and Elon Musk, I don't think they work for tips.
Speaker 1: I don't think they clocked in for overtime. I don't
Speaker 1: think they worry about Social Security. But to watch the
Speaker 1: meet every time, every time I look up, it's Medicaid
Speaker 1: cut by a trillion dollar. And so the messaging from
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, which you can't believe, you know, lie
Speaker 1: circle the globe before truth can take it first step,
Speaker 1: that this bill is about helping working class Americans put
Speaker 1: a tank to gas in their car and getting tip
Speaker 1: money over time and social Security. But the media doesn't
Speaker 1: tell that. Tell you that, do they?
Speaker 4: They don't. I mean, the media is a bunch of liars.
Speaker 4: We know that bill.
Speaker 14: They're they're horrible, they're biased, ninety three percent negative coverage
Speaker 14: of President Trump, sixty percent positive coverage of Biden. I mean,
Speaker 14: they're just so left wing. But the deal with this
Speaker 14: bill is, of course, if it didn't pass, you have
Speaker 14: a sixty eight percent increase in taxes that would hurt
Speaker 14: the economy. That would hurt everybody in this economy. We
Speaker 14: have seen under President Trump inflation going down, gasoline prices
Speaker 14: going down, eight prices, remember they were talking about eggs
Speaker 14: for so long. Eight prices are going down, so people
Speaker 14: have more money in their pockets so they can spend
Speaker 14: on their families. That's working class folks can benefit their
Speaker 14: families more. Not I mean to pay for bidnomics, which
Speaker 14: was so horrible that we've already had tremendous strives in
Speaker 14: the right direction in just a few months. The bill
Speaker 14: is going to help us even more with the with
Speaker 14: the economy and average working class folks. It's not a
Speaker 14: gift to billionaire. That's the tired talking point of the
Speaker 14: Democrats saying, you know, all all Donald Trump wants to
Speaker 14: do is healthy at billionaires. His focus is on average Americans,
Speaker 14: I mean working class people. That's who he's trying to help,
Speaker 14: and that's why he's so popular. Working class folks that
Speaker 14: are that are, you know, helping their families and working hard.
Speaker 14: They understand and Trumps their champion. And that's what the.
Speaker 4: Democrats don't have.
Speaker 14: I don't have anybody that can relate to working class people.
Speaker 1: Do nothing, and in fact they're funded by the shall
Speaker 1: we say, the elite, The billionaire class funds the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party headquartered and major cities that are complete collapse. Now, lastly,
Speaker 1: let's assume the Democrats would have had their way and
Speaker 1: the BBB did not pass. You give me a number.
Speaker 1: Let's say you're a working class American and you get
Speaker 1: some overtime, Well, guess what you're gonna pay tax on that.
Speaker 1: That's a Democratic plan. If you get tips, I don't
Speaker 1: know about you. I don't get too many tips, but
Speaker 1: nonetheless a lot of people do. I spent a long
Speaker 1: time as a bar back, as a bartender, I washed dishes,
Speaker 1: I shared tips. If you're a working schlip. The Republicans
Speaker 1: want to not tax tips, they want to not tax
Speaker 1: overtime and give Social Security recipients a break, and they
Speaker 1: want Medicaid only for Americans and Democrats impose that. Is
Speaker 1: that the way the media covers that one.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and I think people realize that the Democrats are
Speaker 14: not for average, hardworking people. They're for illegals, and they're
Speaker 14: for criminals.
Speaker 4: I mean that's the constituency of Democrat Party.
Speaker 14: I mean, all all the opokems are trying to do
Speaker 14: is make sure that Medicaid goes to people that are
Speaker 14: American citizens, not illegals. And make sure that people have
Speaker 14: minimum work requirements. I mean minimum. I mean you can't
Speaker 14: be on the couch all day and.
Speaker 3: Expect to be accepting all of these benefits.
Speaker 14: That's not the American way. So the Democrats are crying
Speaker 14: about that. They want people not to work, They want
Speaker 14: people to, you know, break the laws. They don't want
Speaker 14: the members.
Speaker 4: Of ICE to do their job.
Speaker 14: They are on the wrong side of pretty much every issue, and.
Speaker 11: That's why they're in such disarray.
Speaker 14: I mean, they're really out of touch with America more
Speaker 14: than I've ever seen any party bill. It's a beautiful thing, though,
Speaker 14: because we don't want them anywhere near power.
Speaker 1: It was wonderful to watch the CNN and MSNBC reaction
Speaker 1: to the June jobs number predict it was to be
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten thousand turn out to be one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand, fifty percent increase in job creation,
Speaker 1: and to watch the mainstream to try to spend that
Speaker 1: was hilarious. But Jeff Crueer continue to have a great
Speaker 1: Fourth of July weekend. Let's see what happens down the road.
Speaker 1: But happy days are here again. The Trump there is
Speaker 1: going to celebrate next summer the two hundred and fiftieth
Speaker 1: anniversary the declaration of Independence. A year from now, the
Speaker 1: economy will be stronger than it is today. Peace will
Speaker 1: break out throughout the world. The stock market will be higher,
Speaker 1: jobs will be higher, the border crossings will be down,
Speaker 1: more Supreme Court victories, gasoline will be given away free,
Speaker 1: and ron will be contained. We have peace in Central Africa,
Speaker 1: and the media must find something to attack Donald Trump about.
Speaker 1: But Jeff for crue air, good books and good commentary,
Speaker 1: and once again thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. I'll bet you a bull
Speaker 1: of jumbalaya. I'll bet you a bull of jumbalaya that
Speaker 1: somehow Mandamie's gonna win the mayorship in New York City.
Speaker 1: You want to make up, I'll give you a tub
Speaker 1: of Greater's ice cream in exchange for a tub of jambalaya.
Speaker 1: I'll take Mom, Donnie, and I'll give you the field.
Speaker 1: How about that.
Speaker 4: You got it? You got it. We're on Bill.
Speaker 1: Write that down, Write that down, Write that down. All right,
Speaker 1: let's see what happened. But Jeff Career, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: You're a great American. Thank you, God bless you. Let's
Speaker 1: continue with more the line becomes available and you're the
Speaker 1: routine and mom, Donnie's going to be the next mayor
Speaker 1: of the City of New York. Bill Cunningham, The Grand
Speaker 1: American Live with You every Sunday Night by Billy Cunningham
Speaker 1: and Jeff Career makes a lot of sense. And I
Speaker 1: should write an article on this that how do you
Speaker 1: have great nations with lousy cities? New Orleans is one
Speaker 1: of the worst. Cincinnati, where I live, not very good
Speaker 1: at all. But the worst run city in America is
Speaker 1: San Francisco, according to Chamber of Commerces, And right up
Speaker 1: there with them is Los Angeles with Karen Bass, Chicago
Speaker 1: with Brandon Johnson, and New York City with Adams and
Speaker 1: maybe a socialist had taken over the helm. How in
Speaker 1: the world can you be a great nation when practically
Speaker 1: every major American city is an economic, social, criminal, and
Speaker 1: educational collapse. I don't know, but maybe we can. Maybe
Speaker 1: the rest of us can overcome our cities and the
Speaker 1: filth and the degradation and the urination defecation, fornication, all
Speaker 1: the homelessness, handing out clean needles, dysfunctional public schools and
Speaker 1: no functional law enforcement and terrible, terrible governance on taxes, rules, regulations,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Maybe there's some fantasy land and what's a
Speaker 1: great nation can be great when it's twenty large city stink.
Speaker 1: Maybe not. I let's continue with more coming up next
Speaker 1: to Steve gorm about weather related issues and how it's
Speaker 1: being used by many in order to feather their own
Speaker 1: bed and get their own money out of government. Bill
Speaker 1: Cunning into Great American with you and all Great Americans
Speaker 1: every Sunday night, Bill Cunning in the Great American. Of course,
Speaker 1: the climate is, shall we say, a ripe area for
Speaker 1: liberals to have lots of money to spend for their
Speaker 1: pet projects. And now in Wimbledon's ongoing, and right now
Speaker 1: it's hot in England, which is a little bit unusual
Speaker 1: and so across the continent that they're certainly living with
Speaker 1: the idea that man made climate changes occurring, causing hot temperatures,
Speaker 1: which is going to destroy the world. In fact, about
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, I'm one of those word guys that
Speaker 1: watch c SPAN and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas had
Speaker 1: on a college professor out of a law school that
Speaker 1: talked about how the executives of Excellon Mobile should be
Speaker 1: charged with murder, actual murder, and the large oil companies
Speaker 1: should be locked up. And of course he came to
Speaker 1: that hearing was pointed out on a private jet that
Speaker 1: used aviation fuel and when he got here he got
Speaker 1: an uber ride who had gasoline. But that's a different story,
Speaker 1: completely different story. But of course Man is on these
Speaker 1: issues great as Steve Gorm, executive director of the Climate
Speaker 1: Science Coalition of America, author of four books He Knows
Speaker 1: Where the Bodies Are Buried on energy and climate change,
Speaker 1: and most to book as Green Breakdown, The Coming Renewable
Speaker 1: Energy Failure. And Steve Gorm, welcome again to the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. And first of all, Steve, how do you
Speaker 1: overcome the idea that the media waits for a tornado
Speaker 1: or hurricane, cold weather, hot weather, whatever it might be.
Speaker 1: In the Midwest, we've had cold temperatures largely until about
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, in which case got hotter than the
Speaker 1: hinges of Hell. And so when the media keeps drumming
Speaker 1: and beating the same idea that man made a climate change,
Speaker 1: and global warming is occurring because of what we've done.
Speaker 1: Is it difficult to overcome that with the media keeps
Speaker 1: pumping in garbage in, garbage out? What's your view on that? Generally?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is amazing. Hey, great to join you again,
Speaker 3: will you. The media just loves this stuff. You know,
Speaker 3: we've now they're naming thunderstorms and things. It wasn't only hurricanes,
Speaker 3: but they're naming droughts or naming tornado sessions. We have
Speaker 3: not only temperatures, but we got heat indexes now, which
Speaker 3: makes everything look higher. You know, it just really is.
Speaker 3: It's a tremendous boon to media stories, I guess. But yeah,
Speaker 3: we had we had some big temperatures last week. We
Speaker 3: had about one hundred and sixty million people that experienced
Speaker 3: temperatures approaching one hundred degrees fahrenheit. And we had the
Speaker 3: CNN saying, quote, heat waves are getting more dangerous with
Speaker 3: climate change. We had and they said, NPR said it
Speaker 3: was due to burning of coal, oil and gas, and
Speaker 3: Time stated that heat waves are now three times occurred
Speaker 3: three times as oft in the United States as they
Speaker 3: did in the nineteen sixties. But they never give any
Speaker 3: historical data on this, and again a great source is
Speaker 3: a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which does think we're
Speaker 3: having climate problems. But they also have a state extremes
Speaker 3: database and they list not only hot temperatures, but cold
Speaker 3: temperatures and rainfall and all and all of the records
Speaker 3: for the states. And so I like to show a
Speaker 3: state high temperature records chart which has the highest recorded
Speaker 3: temperature record in history, and of course we have one
Speaker 3: for Ohio. Okay, how hot did it get last week
Speaker 3: in Ohio? Was it close to one hundred?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like, well, the temperature was about ninety four.
Speaker 1: The heat index was one hundred and five in Kentucky.
Speaker 1: In the midwest, Missouri is the same way Michigan. Even
Speaker 1: Michigan was hot. But I assume that was record setting.
Speaker 1: Has never been that hot, has never had that much amidity,
Speaker 1: never had that kind of heat ever before. Is that correct?
Speaker 3: No, it's not correct.
Speaker 11: I think if your listeners have heard me before, we've.
Speaker 3: Discussed every summer we go through the state record high
Speaker 3: temperature in Ohio that was set on July twenty first,
Speaker 3: nineteen thirty four in Gallipolis, one hundred and twelve, one
Speaker 3: hundred and I'm sorry, one hundred and thirteen fahrenheit was
Speaker 3: the record in Galas.
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty. The heat index would have been
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 11: Yeah, probably was.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, we again that Noah database
Speaker 3: shows us that thirty six of the fifty state high
Speaker 3: records were set fifty or more years ago, a nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy five or before. And the biggest decade for state
Speaker 3: high records was the nineteen thirties when twenty three of
Speaker 3: the fifty, almost half of the state high records were
Speaker 3: set in the nineteen thirties, and that was the record
Speaker 3: decade for Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Michigan were
Speaker 3: all set in the nineteen thirties. So they never tell
Speaker 3: you this when they get their headlines, and it's really
Speaker 3: a distortion. But we've had water warmer times in the past.
Speaker 1: Well, you talk about July twenty first, nineteen thirty four,
Speaker 1: that was the during the heyday of Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
Speaker 1: almost one hundred years ago. Those were the record highs
Speaker 1: and I would assume at that point the environment was
Speaker 1: actually in worse shape then than it is today. When
Speaker 1: I look around, I live in the basin of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: which are surrounded by hills. It used to be as
Speaker 1: a child growing up, I would see a haze over
Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati. I think many cities might. You might recall
Speaker 1: smog was a huge problem in Los Angeles. But now
Speaker 1: I look around and there's no haze. There's no smog.
Speaker 1: Why is that? How can you have all these environmental
Speaker 1: concerns when in reality the climate was much worse one
Speaker 1: hundred years ago.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and now you're talking about real pollution, And
Speaker 3: a great story is that air.
Speaker 11: Pollution in the United States has.
Speaker 3: Been declining at least since nineteen eighty. All of our
Speaker 3: major pollutants covered monoxide, nitros oxide, sulfur dioxide are down
Speaker 3: more than seventy percent. What comes out of the tail
Speaker 3: tailpipe of your car, the Voettle organic compounds are down
Speaker 3: ninety eight percent.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember when I was a kid, we were driving
Speaker 3: past the steel mills and Gary, north West Indiana, and
Speaker 3: literally something just coded our windows as we drove by.
Speaker 3: We had to stop off and wipe our windows clean
Speaker 3: for what was in the air.
Speaker 11: That was really bad.
Speaker 3: And we used to have situations where the the river
Speaker 3: that goes through Cleveland was I forget the name of
Speaker 3: the river, but they'd caught on fire several times back
Speaker 3: many decades ago. So our air is getting very much cleaner.
Speaker 3: The problem, of course, is that the environmental groups and
Speaker 3: many of the on the left side of the spectrum
Speaker 3: now called carbon dioxide a pollutant. And carbon dioxide is
Speaker 3: an odorless, harmless invisible.
Speaker 11: Gas, doesn't cause smoke or smug makes.
Speaker 3: The plants grow. We all exhale about two pounds of
Speaker 3: CO two a day, and and that's their big concern.
Speaker 3: We've gotten off track. Let's keep going for a reducing
Speaker 3: real pollution and uh and not carbon dioxide.
Speaker 1: And for those who find themselves along the Ohio River
Speaker 1: the Mississippi River, you can see in summer large numbers
Speaker 1: of people fishing and taking product out of the Mississippi River.
Speaker 1: I see it in the Ohio River, sam in the
Speaker 1: Missouri River. In fact, individuals eat the fish coming out
Speaker 1: of the Mississippi River. Was that possible thirty years ago?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of our rivers are definitely better
Speaker 3: than what they were. I'm not really sure the story there.
Speaker 3: I do know our forests have been growing as well.
Speaker 3: New England used to be pretty well devoid of trees.
Speaker 3: If you look in Virginia and you go to Yorktown battlefield,
Speaker 3: they talk about all these battles they were fighting. That
Speaker 3: was in the Revolutionary War between our revolutionists here in
Speaker 3: the British and they were fighting on plantation areas. There
Speaker 3: weren't any trees. If you go to that battlefield, now.
Speaker 11: There's a huge forested area.
Speaker 3: There are no plantations. So you know, we've regrown our trees.
Speaker 3: We reduced pollution in our air, our water is better.
Speaker 3: All those things are great. But when you hear the news,
Speaker 3: it's always doom and gloom on how terrible it is.
Speaker 3: And so you've really got to take a lot of
Speaker 3: what you hear in the press with a big green
Speaker 3: of salt.
Speaker 1: So you don't think those who run oil companies should
Speaker 1: be charged with homicide and put in prison for the
Speaker 1: rest of their life.
Speaker 11: Well they shouldn't be.
Speaker 3: And by the way, you know, the Trump administration is
Speaker 3: pushing back on this. He ordered an executive order about
Speaker 3: a month or two ago attacking state climate laws and
Speaker 3: the and he ordered a Pam Bondi to go after
Speaker 3: these state and local energy laws. And the federal government
Speaker 3: has now sued Michigan, Hawaii, New York, and I think
Speaker 3: it's Rhode Island for their laws. But they were seeking
Speaker 3: to get millions of dollars, even billions of dollars in
Speaker 3: damages from oil companies for fast divisions, which the companies
Speaker 3: didn't even admit they sold the oil that other people
Speaker 3: used to emit. And so the Trump administration is going
Speaker 3: after that, and these laws are going to.
Speaker 1: Be defeated in the courts.
Speaker 3: They are unconstitutional and they go beyond the state reason
Speaker 3: a lot of other problems.
Speaker 1: So you can't be in Texas and be sued by
Speaker 1: a liberal, say Illinois, a very liberal state. Let's say
Speaker 1: Illinois wants to sue Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, et cetera for
Speaker 1: pollutants coming through the air, and that can't happen. You
Speaker 1: know what I say, Steve gorm this little bit off track.
Speaker 1: But it's a new neo confederacy underway. You might recall
Speaker 1: for about one hundred and fifty years the Democrats in
Speaker 1: the South, who ran everything in the South, said you
Speaker 1: know what, we don't comply with federal law. Well, we
Speaker 1: don't care what the Feds say. We're not going to comply.
Speaker 1: And here we are one hundred and fifty years later,
Speaker 1: and the neo Confederates of today will say, well, we
Speaker 1: got sanctuary city, sanctuary states. Federal LW doesn't apply. They
Speaker 1: also want to sue everyone. If someone from a red
Speaker 1: state has a pollutant that may enter into a blue state,
Speaker 1: they want to sue that other state. Of the oil
Speaker 1: companies and the Feds are saying, wait a minute, where
Speaker 1: one nation under God indivisible. But the Democrats, whether in
Speaker 1: the eighteen sixties or the twenty twenties, are saying, you
Speaker 1: know what, federal law doesn't apply here. Isn't that a
Speaker 1: problem then new cos the Democrats.
Speaker 11: Today, Yeah, there are certain divisions in our laws.
Speaker 3: And it's been ruled that the Clean Air Act, which
Speaker 3: is an act of the federal government, is what controls
Speaker 3: air pollution. But for years California has been trying to
Speaker 3: They've been getting waivers from the EPA that allow them
Speaker 3: to put in their own pollution laws. But the new
Speaker 3: EPA under Ease Helden, is getting.
Speaker 11: Rid of those.
Speaker 3: Senate and House have both voted against air pollution laws
Speaker 3: that California has put into place on electric vehicles, And
Speaker 3: you're right, Sanctuary states and cities really are not the
Speaker 3: purview of the states. Immigration law is the federal governments.
Speaker 3: And same thing with air pollution. So we now have
Speaker 3: a situation where a lot of these state laws where
Speaker 3: they're trying to impose their own pollution laws are going
Speaker 3: to be struck down because those laws of the purview
Speaker 3: of the federal.
Speaker 1: Government should be But the neo confederacy of today, the
Speaker 1: big city Democrats Illinois, California, they don't want to follow
Speaker 1: federal law, nor did they want to do it. During
Speaker 1: slavery times. They wanted the federal troops out of the
Speaker 1: South and then in comes to Ku Klux Klan to
Speaker 1: crack down on African Americans. And that was one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty years ago, doing the same craft today now
Speaker 1: on the area of this big fight between Elon Musk
Speaker 1: and the President, the Trump Star wants to get rid
Speaker 1: of seven and a half thousand dollars of a credit
Speaker 1: which is a gift from the federal government to buy
Speaker 1: to make you buy an electric vehicle. I think hybrids
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. Explain Explain why that's a
Speaker 1: good thing for the federal government not to course people
Speaker 1: to buy a car they probably don't want because the
Speaker 1: government will pay you to make that decision.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, we've been doing that for years with the renewables
Speaker 3: wind and solar an example too.
Speaker 1: Since nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 3: We've had credits and subsidies for wind and for solar,
Speaker 3: and the federal and the Trump administration is now moving
Speaker 3: to eliminate all of those credits and UH and the
Speaker 3: loans and outright grants. And as you say that, we
Speaker 3: have the seventy five hundred EV tax credit is likely
Speaker 3: to be phased out shortly here by the federal UH government.
Speaker 3: And I think mister mister musk Is is.
Speaker 11: Unhappy with that.
Speaker 3: By the way, I think he's a tremendous guy. He's
Speaker 3: done great things. He built a trillion dollar company and
Speaker 3: right and SpaceX and UH and a satellite system up
Speaker 3: there for communications, just great things. I would hope he'd
Speaker 3: stay out of the politics, though. I think that's where
Speaker 3: he's gotten into and it's it's an ugly business there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, yeah, please go ahead.
Speaker 3: And again, I'm not I'm not EV's, I'm not against
Speaker 3: EV's winning solar. I'm just against subsidiz subsidizing them with
Speaker 3: the idea. With that, we think we can stop the
Speaker 3: ocean from rising if we do that.
Speaker 10: That's that's fool of stuff.
Speaker 1: Sounds like Obama wants to stop the win from blowing
Speaker 1: in the oceans from rolling.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: You have a great column up about romentally friendly. Normally
Speaker 1: liberals would be caring about the whales and the birds.
Speaker 1: The so called wind powered farms all over Indiana, for
Speaker 1: example in Ohio, which tends to be flat, kill hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of birds every year. But this chart you
Speaker 1: have is unbelievable. Everag units of land total use footprint.
Speaker 1: Natural gas is zero point eight, nuclear is one point zero,
Speaker 1: coal is one point seven, solars one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1: Wind is eight hundred and thirty five. Biomass is one thousand,
Speaker 1: five hundred. So if you want to have environmental friendly
Speaker 1: use of the land, natural gas, nuclear coal is the
Speaker 1: way to go. Put those three together. That's about three
Speaker 1: point zero while wind is eight hundred and thirty five.
Speaker 1: One of the environmental wackos recognize.
Speaker 3: That, well, this is this is actually data from a
Speaker 3: scientice in Canada name called Smith. Well. He wrote a
Speaker 3: whole book saying for one unit of electricity that you produced,
Speaker 3: how much land do you use? What's the footprint? And
Speaker 3: it turns out that wind and solar and biomass are
Speaker 3: more than a hundred times as much land for that
Speaker 3: one unit of electricity, where as you say nuclear cold
Speaker 3: natural gas are all about one. And if we didn't
Speaker 3: have the fear man made warming, we would consider a
Speaker 3: windsill on biomass very environmentally unfriendly. I mean, who wants
Speaker 3: to take one hundred times the land? So we're building
Speaker 3: these things in farmland or building them off on rich lines.
Speaker 3: They're also far from population centers, so we have to
Speaker 3: go build transmission out to these things.
Speaker 11: We got to have all these big towers.
Speaker 3: And by the way, at night, nothing goes through those
Speaker 3: towers because they go to a wind farm and there
Speaker 3: rather they go to a solar field and there's no
Speaker 3: sun at night. So it's just not environmentally friendly. It's
Speaker 3: not a good idea, and we need to get back
Speaker 3: to a sensible energy policy. And I think that we
Speaker 3: can solve the climate with these renewables.
Speaker 1: I think the message is Steve Gorham a green breakdown.
Speaker 1: The coming renewable and energy failure is that we have
Speaker 1: currently the best environment we've had for about one hundred years.
Speaker 1: My mother tells me the story when she when she
Speaker 1: lived in over tr which is a part of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: that they would have newspaper. They would use windows, and
Speaker 1: they take the newspaper print and put down the window
Speaker 1: in order to have a little bit of a seal.
Speaker 1: And then about once a week there was all this
Speaker 1: cold dust that accumulated on these newspapers and then have
Speaker 1: to lift open the window, pull out the ceilant which
Speaker 1: was the newspaper, and throw it away because there was
Speaker 1: coal dust everywhere inside the house. And can you imagine, yes,
Speaker 1: And they had a love.
Speaker 3: Yes, in Chicago in the nineteen fifties, after it snowed
Speaker 3: within four or five days, they to have a black
Speaker 3: film on the snow. And the young folks probably don't
Speaker 3: know what spring cleaning was for, or spring cleaning. Every
Speaker 3: spring people would wash all the insight of their walls
Speaker 3: to remove the coal dust.
Speaker 11: But now we have natural guess it's very very clean.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's just.
Speaker 3: A part of our cleaner environment.
Speaker 1: Well, the truth will set us free. And I'm Steve,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're out there with information. The facts are important.
Speaker 1: But the reason the green energy movement is succeeding is
Speaker 1: goes liberals take over and they fund their buddies with
Speaker 1: all these studies and reports. They have huge departments put
Speaker 1: to work, lots of people, lots of seminars, lots of traveling,
Speaker 1: lots of hotel rooms, fancy food, fancy wine. They got
Speaker 1: to be served when in reality we're all against pollution.
Speaker 1: All of us are in favor of a clean energy future.
Speaker 1: And Steve Gorm you're a great American and thanks for
Speaker 1: coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Steve, Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 1: God bless you. Let's continue with more. The truth will
Speaker 1: set you free. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, live with
Speaker 1: you every Sunday night. Hi, Billy Cunningham, thanks for listening tonight.
Speaker 1: The Big Beautiful Bill is now law. The Democrats in
Speaker 1: the media are calling Donald Trump a killer and worse.
Speaker 1: God have mercy on those who have tried to save
Speaker 1: the lives of so many innocent children. And you have
Speaker 1: to think about some eighty one eighty two people are dead,
Speaker 1: so many little girls are dead, and that they're right
Speaker 1: to heaven. They're going to be angels immediately in heaven. Above,
Speaker 1: there's nothing more special than young ladies and girls attending
Speaker 1: these evangelical Christian camps. They have that happened is really
Speaker 1: is unspeakable. So before you go to bed the night,
Speaker 1: before you close your eyes, say is solent prayer for
Speaker 1: the repose of the soul of the eighty one or
Speaker 1: eighty two people that have been killed in those terrible
Speaker 1: floods in Central Texas. It appears likely the death toll
Speaker 1: is going to raise itself well past one hundred, and
Speaker 1: we hope somehow the parents can find peace and the
Speaker 1: passing of their children. But all I can say is,
Speaker 1: Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee
Speaker 1: blessed Arthelle amongst the women, and blessed is the fruit
Speaker 1: of our momb Jesus, Holy Marry Mother God. Pray for
Speaker 1: our sinners now they are of our death. Amen, go
Speaker 1: cunning in with you every Sunday night.
