Speaker 1: Portions of The Bill Cunningham Show may be pre recorded.
Speaker 2: Willie Brough 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. There's 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: Right, Billy Cunningham, the Great America, and this glorious Sunday night.
Speaker 1: And I look around there right now as I speak,
Speaker 1: the so called House budget committees trying to get an
Speaker 1: agreement not to keep borrowing two trillion dollars every year
Speaker 1: as far as the eye can see, and as you
Speaker 1: and I kind of agreed to a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: the best of intentions. In fact, the road to Hell
Speaker 1: is paved with good intentions. I know the intentions are
Speaker 1: good to cut federal spending, or shall I say, at
Speaker 1: least maintain federal spending a current level. So how about
Speaker 1: that one. I have an actuarial coming up later in
Speaker 1: US Congressman that's going to say that if we had
Speaker 1: the same federal spending in twenty twenty five, as we
Speaker 1: had in twenty twenty one, four years ago. We'd have
Speaker 1: a balanced budget right now, not borrowing a trillion dollars
Speaker 1: or two trillion dollars every year. We'd have a balanced budget. Now,
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be marvelous? If we had a balanced budget,
Speaker 1: maybe Moodies wouldn't downgrade our debt again, because they've downgraded
Speaker 1: it again, and it's going to happen again and again
Speaker 1: and again, and it's not a well covered issue. It
Speaker 1: is the most predictive national calamity ever to strike this country. Normally,
Speaker 1: when a calamity happens, we don't have warning, whether it
Speaker 1: was not a lite or the Japanese attack on Pearl
Speaker 1: Harbor or something like that, but everyone says that were
Speaker 1: now thirty seven trillion dollars. Moody's is telling us you
Speaker 1: can't afford it, and instead of the media covering that issue,
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party stepping up to say we're going to
Speaker 1: help you. Have a large number of moderate Republicans that
Speaker 1: won't agree to maintain federal spending. They want to keep
Speaker 1: borrowing money. And at this rate, we won't have a
Speaker 1: country in about five or six years. And we have
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson coming up later, who says there will
Speaker 1: be no spending reductions until at least twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 1: What twenty twenty nine? Moderate Republicans want to increate the salt,
Speaker 1: state and local tax deductions, and more conservative members of
Speaker 1: Congress like Roy of Texas and Davidson of Ohio, say,
Speaker 1: wait a minute. We came into office promising to keep
Speaker 1: federal spending where it is. Now that's a cut, or
Speaker 1: to slow the rate of the increase. Now that's a cut.
Speaker 1: Instead of saying, look, the penny pen made a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. The Penny plan made sense to Sean Hannity,
Speaker 1: my good friend, and to me, just to reduce federal
Speaker 1: spending every year by one cent on the dollar. Can't
Speaker 1: get that done. And now the Republicans are going to
Speaker 1: increase federal spending again by about causing a two trillion
Speaker 1: dollar deficit this year, and the year begins October first
Speaker 1: to October first of next year, and we can't quit spending.
Speaker 1: Every constituency group in the world is organized to keep
Speaker 1: their particular goody alive. And why can't we have Medicaid
Speaker 1: work requirements? You have to be healthy under the age
Speaker 1: of fifty five and you refuse to work, but you
Speaker 1: get medicaid on your dime. We can't agree to get
Speaker 1: that done. So I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: It's not good. And sometime tonight they're going to pass
Speaker 1: it out of the Budget Committee to the Rules Committee
Speaker 1: on Wednesday for its consideration, and sometime by Memorial Day,
Speaker 1: which by the way, is about thirteen days away's supposed
Speaker 1: to have a vote in the House. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: I have no confidence in the Republicans now to maintain
Speaker 1: federal spending at current levels for the time they're in
Speaker 1: the Congress. If that would happen, we'd have a balanced
Speaker 1: budget within five years. No, we're going to keep federal
Speaker 1: spending roughly at the same levels, then provide some tax
Speaker 1: cuts which may incentivize economic activity, which you bring more
Speaker 1: revenues into the treasury. But and it's a big, beautiful bill.
Speaker 1: But if it's a bill that Joe Biden himself may
Speaker 1: have agreed to, we're in trouble. I think we're in trouble.
Speaker 1: That's coming up later. Plus I would note that it
Speaker 1: was announced either late night yesterday Saturday, or today that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of
Speaker 1: prostate cancer, which comes to a shock to me because,
Speaker 1: as you know, a responsible man has a PSA test
Speaker 1: done and also digital rectal exams, which I find extremely intrusive.
Speaker 1: I tell my urologists, you got ten seconds, that's all
Speaker 1: you got. They're called drees digital rectal exams, and also PSAs.
Speaker 1: I like to know if Joe Biden, who previously has
Speaker 1: contracted a few forms of cancer, including including skin cancer,
Speaker 1: which is not a big deal, and he also had
Speaker 1: polyps cancers sales removed from his coal and this is
Speaker 1: number three, and so I would think an eighty two
Speaker 1: year old man with cancer in the family would be
Speaker 1: treated early on proper diagnosis, and I like to know it.
Speaker 1: I think Joe Biden knows this to the American people
Speaker 1: to say, look, these are the things I did the
Speaker 1: last two years for my health. Forget about the mental health.
Speaker 1: We know that's shot, but I want to know about
Speaker 1: the physical health. I'm kind of shocked that Joe Biden
Speaker 1: would contract stage four prostate cancer have a glease in
Speaker 1: score of nine when he received opposedly the best medical
Speaker 1: care in the world. Prostate cancers are given a score,
Speaker 1: a so called Leason score between one and ten, with
Speaker 1: one being very low and ten being very high. According
Speaker 1: to the press release, Biden's office said his score was
Speaker 1: a nine, saying his cancer it spread to bones and
Speaker 1: maybe to limpodes, and when it spreads other parts of
Speaker 1: the body, so called metastasize much harder to treat than
Speaker 1: localized cancer inside the prostate capsule, which goes from the
Speaker 1: grossm the size about a grape to a small plumb.
Speaker 1: And so was he treated previously for this? Did he
Speaker 1: go through all the screenings? I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: offer the best of the Biden family. We may disagree politically,
Speaker 1: but I would not wish upon this my worst enemy,
Speaker 1: and he's not my worst enemy. I have worst enemies
Speaker 1: than Joe Biden. But Joe Biden right now is going
Speaker 1: to fight for his long term survivability, and according to
Speaker 1: the things I've read, he has a life expectancy now
Speaker 1: less than five years. But I wish him and the
Speaker 1: family well as they fight and decide what to do.
Speaker 1: And allegedly this kind of treatment may involve hormones, and
Speaker 1: this particular kind of cancer is available for treatment by hormones.
Speaker 1: But when you're regularly screened, which I don't know if
Speaker 1: he spent or not. It's kind of shocking to me
Speaker 1: you go to stage four and at least in the
Speaker 1: score of nine if you've been properly screened. But I
Speaker 1: guess anything is possible. We'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 1: And secondly, I would point out that once again, the
Speaker 1: Congress is trying to don't say cut federal spending. Is
Speaker 1: to maintain current federal spending. That's the plan. Keep spending
Speaker 1: where it is right now, and if we do that,
Speaker 1: we can have a balanced budget within three or four years.
Speaker 1: But the Republicans in the Congress refuse to do that.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're going to increase spending by allowing these
Speaker 1: programs simply to grow, grow and grow more. And if
Speaker 1: they can't do it, I want to know who will
Speaker 1: do it. The answer I suspect is nobody's going to
Speaker 1: do it. That's why I strongly suspect. Secondly, we had
Speaker 1: an explosion Saturday morning outside of a fertility clinic in
Speaker 1: Palm Spring, California. A twenty five year old man named
Speaker 1: Guy Edward Barkas b like in boy Ar k h Us,
Speaker 1: decided to blow up a fertility clinic, because according to
Speaker 1: his manifesto, he opposed the birth of human beings, and
Speaker 1: the fertility clinic had many, shall we say, apparatusus and
Speaker 1: availabilities to put together women and men's sperm and to
Speaker 1: have fertility occur in a Petri dish or etc. And
Speaker 1: it's a consequence the embryos they say have been protected.
Speaker 1: But I don't know how that's possible. But this guy
Speaker 1: is a real nut. He's part of a pro mortalist
Speaker 1: group who thinks that no baby should be born without
Speaker 1: their consent. Go talk to a zygote, or go talk
Speaker 1: to an inco it life and talk to me about
Speaker 1: whether or not in a fertility clinic. There's going to
Speaker 1: be some desire to bring people in the world against
Speaker 1: their will. According to KCAL News in Los Angeles, Barcas
Speaker 1: wrote in writings and recordings that he opposed the idea
Speaker 1: of bringing people into the world against their will. What
Speaker 1: how is this possible? The writings left behind were anti
Speaker 1: anti pro life. Whatever that is anti pro life, and
Speaker 1: he targeted the clinic goes they had the potential of life.
Speaker 1: The FBAIOT described Barcas as an ideation and noted he
Speaker 1: may have been attempted to livestream the bombing on social media,
Speaker 1: in which he himself was killed. I guess he wanted
Speaker 1: to end his own life. He's against human life. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: The embryos allegedly have been saved. But when I first
Speaker 1: heard about this, I thought, this has got to be
Speaker 1: a real nut job, and he is. But previously, mister
Speaker 1: Barkas has no previous criminal record, has never filed bankruptcy.
Speaker 1: In fact, he's unknown in the system completely. The explosion
Speaker 1: damaged nearby businesses and residential properties, and pieces of Barkers's
Speaker 1: car was thrown hundreds of feet in the air several
Speaker 1: blocks away. And of course it's hard to determine whether
Speaker 1: it was suicide or whether it was mistakes setting off
Speaker 1: the bomb. So he was not on the radar prior
Speaker 1: to the bombing. No criminal record, no bankruptcies, no sexual
Speaker 1: offenses immediately found in any public record. He was a
Speaker 1: resident of twenty nine palms in City in San Bernardino County,
Speaker 1: about sixty miles from Palm Springs. He simply wanted to
Speaker 1: destroy human life without their consent, so embryos zygots in
Speaker 1: Kowitz sperm. He wanted to destroy because there was a
Speaker 1: possibility that that item could become a human life. He
Speaker 1: was anti pro life. He was part of a mortality
Speaker 1: group that wanted to kill living things, and he was
Speaker 1: one of them. I say good riddance to him. Fortunately
Speaker 1: no one was killed except the bomber himself. And as
Speaker 1: I said, the police do not know if it was
Speaker 1: a suicide or mistaken setting off the device. Haven't said
Speaker 1: yet what that situation is. So let's continue with more
Speaker 1: and later on we have Jeff crew Air coming up,
Speaker 1: he writes. Jeff Creuer writes at townhall dot com about
Speaker 1: what a great successful trip Donald Trump headed the Middle East.
Speaker 1: Came back Saturday night or Sunday morning this morning. Is
Speaker 1: doing well physically struck unbelievable deals, trillions of dollars and
Speaker 1: new investments inside of America. He met with the new
Speaker 1: leader of Syria, who was a member of our Kaida.
Speaker 1: How about that who's now said to the Trumpster that
Speaker 1: he wants to be part of the civilized nations of
Speaker 1: the world. He has got more talks going on now
Speaker 1: with Iran. At some point I think Iran and the
Speaker 1: US will join together and take out the nuclear capabilities
Speaker 1: of Iran. They will act like they want to give
Speaker 1: it up, but they will not. And then he has
Speaker 1: a lot of ideas about what to do with the
Speaker 1: so called Palestinians or Gazans, to put them in Libya,
Speaker 1: paid for by the Ewan and others. As Gaza is
Speaker 1: real rebuilt in the image of what Israel and Western
Speaker 1: democracies may look like. And as you may know, Palestinians
Speaker 1: in Gaza have added up to hear with Hamas and
Speaker 1: they want him gone too. Put all that together, but
Speaker 1: what a successful trip. In fact, some wants to nominate
Speaker 1: Donald Trump from the Nobel Peace Prize, which would be
Speaker 1: almost impossible. You might recall that in twenty nine, before
Speaker 1: Obama had done a damn thing as president, they gave
Speaker 1: Barak Hussein Obama. Guess what gave him the Peace Prize? Obama?
Speaker 1: And what did he do at that point? Absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a nineteen sixties rock song. In fact, what
Speaker 1: did he do the eight years of his presidency Absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing for world peace. In fact, he made it worse.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, Ronald Reagan secured a massive arms
Speaker 1: control agreement with the Soviet Union, reduced real fears of
Speaker 1: a nuclear war This is reagan massive investments in a
Speaker 1: military bankrupt of the Soviet Union. They collapsed, unable to
Speaker 1: compete economically or militarily without firing a shot. Ronald Reagan
Speaker 1: brought down the Evil Empire, the Iron Curta in the
Speaker 1: Berlin Wall, all came tumbling down. Who'd they give the
Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Price to? How about yes, their air Fat
Speaker 1: got the Nobel Peace Price along with Jimmy Carter for
Speaker 1: the peace in the Middle East. How's that looking so
Speaker 1: compared to what the Donald has done, to what Gorbachev did?
Speaker 1: He got the Nobel Peace Prize or yes, the air Fat.
Speaker 1: It's a joke that Donald is a tremendous peace giver.
Speaker 1: He gives peace throughout the world. What's like Pope Leo
Speaker 1: the fourteenth that had his first master today and met
Speaker 1: of course JD. Vance and Marco Rubio was wonderful. So
Speaker 1: later on we have Jeff crue eron from New Orleans,
Speaker 1: and I would note that sixty minutes is making some sense.
Speaker 1: For a time. They did a story on and CBS
Speaker 1: Morning News did it also about what's wrong with New Orleans?
Speaker 1: And believe me a lot when ten murderers escaped but
Speaker 1: none the left. Jeff Crewe Ara will be here to
Speaker 1: talk about why Trump deserves to know about Peace Prize
Speaker 1: and more. And once again we offer nothing but the
Speaker 1: best wishes for ex President Joe Biden. I love saying
Speaker 1: the word ex president who has contracted stage four with
Speaker 1: the Gleason score of nine Price Day cancer. That's metastasized
Speaker 1: to the bone. And I like to know, as someone
Speaker 1: age appropriate, if you're in your forties, fifties, or sixties,
Speaker 1: I believe that PSAs were low and digital exams that
Speaker 1: were regularly done gave your pretty good insurance against contracting
Speaker 1: prosday cancer. When contract When diagnosed early, it's somewhat simple
Speaker 1: to cure. But at this point they have the ex
Speaker 1: president have stage four Price Day cancer. To me, that's
Speaker 1: a shock. So let's continue with more. Do you have
Speaker 1: hope the Republicans and Elon Musk can in fact cut
Speaker 1: federal spending? By that, I mean that equals keeping it
Speaker 1: where it is. Cutting federal spending means keeping it where
Speaker 1: it is. The answer from tonight appears to be no,
Speaker 1: plus we have more. I want to get a grade
Speaker 1: from you on the trip that Donald Trump made to
Speaker 1: the Middle East on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It
Speaker 1: was the greatest foreign policy effort by any president in
Speaker 1: American history. He's bringing peace to Ukraine and the Russia,
Speaker 1: seeming that you're going to have a big talk tomorrow.
Speaker 1: He's brought peace to India and Pakistan that saved millions
Speaker 1: and millions of lives. He's got Syria possibly within the
Speaker 1: Western Democratic orbit. He solidified our relationships with the functional
Speaker 1: countries in the Middle East, getting pledges of trillions and
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars and hamas Is on its heels, has
Speaker 1: blows in retreat in Lebanon, and the world could enter
Speaker 1: another and another era of peace because of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: none of which happened under Joe Biden or Barack Hussein Obama.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more. We have five lines open. Your
Speaker 1: calls are next eight six six six four seven seven
Speaker 1: three three seven. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with you
Speaker 1: every Sunday night. I don't know about you, but I'm
Speaker 1: waiting to be disappointed on federal government spending. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask Congressman Warren Davidson later, what's going to happen tonight?
Speaker 1: And most importantly, was going to happen in the House
Speaker 1: that are going to pass the bill or not. No
Speaker 1: tax on tips, no tax on social Security, no tax
Speaker 1: on overtime, or promise. We'll see what happens. And normally,
Speaker 1: when you cut taxes a little bit, it causes a
Speaker 1: gross increase in economic activity, generating more dollars. It was
Speaker 1: that way under John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan and
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's first term. You don't eliminate taxes on the achievers,
Speaker 1: the workers, those who produce twenty five percent of the
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, forty percent of the revenue, with one percent
Speaker 1: of the income. That's being Americans making more than four
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year are the top one percent,
Speaker 1: and they pay about forty percent of the income tax.
Speaker 1: We already have the regressive system democrats demand, but you
Speaker 1: have to have the right equilibrium between how much the
Speaker 1: tax and they give a little bit of money back
Speaker 1: to those who are going to spend the money. Makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense because the rising tide lifts all boats,
Speaker 1: and by doing that, you increase federal revenues. And I
Speaker 1: have little doubt the intentions are good, but the reality
Speaker 1: is the Washington elite are going to eat up and
Speaker 1: spit out Donald Trump and Johnson and those in McConnell
Speaker 1: and Thune and those in the Senate, because it's the
Speaker 1: way the system is. I'm losing faith and ability and
Speaker 1: Republicans to keep federal spending where it is and to
Speaker 1: give modest tax cuts and get rid of all the
Speaker 1: crap in the federal budget. Because tonight's going to be
Speaker 1: a precursor to what's going to happen Wednesday Thursday. So
Speaker 1: let's continue with the more. And by the way, my
Speaker 1: good friend Dan Bongino said again that disgrace phoinance financier
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in the Manhattan jail cell, that
Speaker 1: he wasn't killed by others, although I'm sure powerful men
Speaker 1: wanted them dead. But when Dan Bongino says it, I
Speaker 1: believe it. And secondly, Cash put tell later on's going
Speaker 1: to have more information in the Russian collusion delusion, which
Speaker 1: I hope comes out because those responsible for that should
Speaker 1: be indicted, including Hillary Clinton. I might add, let's continue
Speaker 1: with more three lines open. If you call it out'll
Speaker 1: take some calls on the other side. Eight sixty six
Speaker 1: six four seven seven three three seven. Tonight, the House
Speaker 1: Budget Committee trying to passle onto the Rules Committee some
Speaker 1: sort of a bill, and I hope those hardliners on
Speaker 1: the deficit stand their position. Bill Cunningham, the great American,
Speaker 1: with you and all of the great Americans every Sunday night.
Speaker 1: You know, I like to monitor news agencies around the
Speaker 1: world to give you every Sunday night what's happening. By
Speaker 1: the way, our phone number I'll take calls right after
Speaker 1: this at eight sixty six six four seven seven three
Speaker 1: three seven. But one of the articles of faith, and
Speaker 1: you've heard it recently, is that Iran has had now
Speaker 1: four rounds of talks with Marco Rubio, jd Vance, etc.
Speaker 1: And the Donald would like to do a deal in
Speaker 1: which the IAEA does the inspection with Americans to make
Speaker 1: sure they're not enriching any more uranium in Iran, in
Speaker 1: fact getting rid of what they got. They don't need
Speaker 1: it for electrical production in Iran, which is the cheapest
Speaker 1: the electrical cost in the Middle East. It's very cheap.
Speaker 1: But the Iranian Foreign minister said Sunday afternoon a few
Speaker 1: hours ago that regardless of whether a nuclear deal is
Speaker 1: reached or not with the US, Iran will enrich more
Speaker 1: uranium and the statement that US officials were privy to
Speaker 1: during the discussions. He said, quote, Iran can only control
Speaker 1: what Iranians do, and that is to avoid negotiating in public,
Speaker 1: particularly given the current dissidents. We're seeing between what our
Speaker 1: US US interlookers say in public and in private. But
Speaker 1: one thing is certain, Iran will not stop enriching uranium.
Speaker 1: Mark Rubio said the other day that the IAEA referred
Speaker 1: to the United Nations Nuclear watchdog not it in March
Speaker 1: what two months ago that Iran, in a stockpile of
Speaker 1: sixty percent of rich uranium, had grown from one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty two kilograms this two hundred and seventy five
Speaker 1: reportedly approximately six hundred pounds in early twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: capable of producing dozens of thermonuclear weapons. Once you're at
Speaker 1: sixty percent, you're most of the way there. It will
Speaker 1: take a few weeks to enrich it further in order
Speaker 1: to get it up to nuclear grade to use and
Speaker 1: to marry on top of a weapon. He said, We're
Speaker 1: at the threshold of a nuclear weapon and Iran will
Speaker 1: not back down to the US. The President said on
Speaker 1: Thursday that the Iran have sort of agreed to terms
Speaker 1: of a nuclear deal, whatever that means. Well, here we
Speaker 1: are the safternoon on Sunday. The Foreign Minister of Iran
Speaker 1: said that's not true. Said we will go our own
Speaker 1: way on this thing, as I've said before, and Edward
Speaker 1: will be my first call from Tampa Bay. I love
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay eight sixty six six four seven seven three
Speaker 1: three seven. That Iran is run by a death cult
Speaker 1: of iman's and mulas who consider death more desirable than life.
Speaker 1: Most even foreign despots, understand that they want to live.
Speaker 1: Even Russian soldiers are Japanese or Chinese or American soldiers.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, Russians want to live.
Speaker 1: The death cult in Iran they want to die. They
Speaker 1: think by dying in some sort of jihad is there
Speaker 1: is there is a ticket to seventy two versions in heaven,
Speaker 1: and so it is a death cult. Almas Hesbalah both
Speaker 1: are ram the groups in Iran et h. They're basically
Speaker 1: desiring death. And so when you have that kind of attitude,
Speaker 1: we're in trouble. And Iran knows, I hope they know
Speaker 1: that the IDF and Americans were not exactly bluffing. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the calls and if a line becomes available.
Speaker 1: A couple are available now at eight six six six
Speaker 1: four seven seven three three seven. Let's go to Edward
Speaker 1: in New York and then a call from Joe and I'm
Speaker 1: sorry Edward and Tampa and Joe in New York. Edward
Speaker 1: and Tampa, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Edward, how
Speaker 1: are you Bill thinking?
Speaker 3: We're taking my const in a while? But yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean President Trump gets an a on this trip, especially
Speaker 3: with India in Pakistan over kashimir because those are two
Speaker 3: nuclear powers. I mean, you didn't expect a bully like
Speaker 3: Turkey the Ertawan to be the peacemaker. No, President Trump
Speaker 3: outwit everybody else in the United Nations.
Speaker 4: So good job. Bone.
Speaker 3: You saw what they did on sixty minutes today with China.
Speaker 1: Yes, about that, Explain explain that to the American people.
Speaker 1: I watched sixty minutes many times that you don't have to,
Speaker 1: but explain what sixty minutes did with communist red China.
Speaker 3: Right, So they're they're watching, they're shadowing these uh Chinese
Speaker 3: that made it over here to America, and they got
Speaker 3: spies because they want to bring these people over. This
Speaker 3: is why they set up those police stations. Remember the
Speaker 3: police stations they set.
Speaker 4: Up in New York Times.
Speaker 5: That's the purpose of that.
Speaker 3: It's a smash these people and take them back to China.
Speaker 1: And basically our power grid, our water systems are electrical grid. Uh,
Speaker 1: maybe everything that we have is encoded by the Majijiao
Speaker 1: Pang and his regime with certain ways of cutting us
Speaker 1: off completely. And there are literally about half a million
Speaker 1: Chinese living in America and they have to have police
Speaker 1: stations in various American cities, police stations to police the
Speaker 1: Chinese inside of America. And if you act up, you'll
Speaker 1: be killed or back home. How about that one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the Chinese, the Chinese satellite companies are also
Speaker 3: giving help to the hoodies in Yemen. That's how they're
Speaker 3: bombing those ships because of those Chinese satellites.
Speaker 1: And Edward I read a few days ago that the
Speaker 1: communist Red Chinese have set up a deal with Colombia
Speaker 1: to be part of the Silken Road effort. Much like
Speaker 1: Peru is part of that effort, and much like Panama
Speaker 1: is part of that effort, where the Chinese come in
Speaker 1: and they loan you the money to build water systems,
Speaker 1: highways and bridges and then they close on the loans
Speaker 1: in such a way as to own a lot of
Speaker 1: the resources of those countries. And now they're in Colombia.
Speaker 1: Whatever happened to the Monroe doctor? Remember eighteen twenty three,
Speaker 1: the Monroe doctor. What happened to that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gone. Yeah, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And unfortunately you don't hear this in the media
Speaker 3: because it doesn't really have to do your research on this.
Speaker 3: But thank God for you, because I called the brotherhood.
Speaker 3: I told them, Hey, we got to get these bills passed,
Speaker 3: because that's fun as the sharpie are. If Democrats get
Speaker 3: back in power, they can overturn these SHARPI store, it
Speaker 3: is so important that we pass built Lows.
Speaker 1: Well, tonight's a big night. Allegedly, I'm told they're going
Speaker 1: to pass it and give it to the Rules Committee
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Let's see what happens. Let's continue now with
Speaker 1: Joe in New York, and then Bob and San Diego
Speaker 1: and John and Delaware, the home of Joe Biden who
Speaker 1: now has stage four cancer, and Bob and I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Bob and San Diego, welcome to Bill Cunningham Show. Then Joe, Bob,
Speaker 1: how are you?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 5: Bill, I'm fine, thanks for having me.
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, I work for a biotech company back in
Speaker 6: two thousand and three to two thousand and seven, and
Speaker 6: if you remember, back then, there was a bill called
Speaker 6: Project BioShield, introduced by Bill Frist and the Republican Party
Speaker 6: to bring drugs to market that could protect us from terrorism.
Speaker 5: Yes, we had a drug.
Speaker 6: My company had a drug that would protect people from
Speaker 6: a cute radiation syndrome. If a nuclear bomb goes off
Speaker 6: in the thirty of people are gonna die from a
Speaker 6: cute radiation syndrome. That's what our drug did, Okay. I
Speaker 6: met with Israel the military in two thousand and six
Speaker 6: and I presented our data and of course the FDA
Speaker 6: and everybody knew our data back then, and we had
Speaker 6: a drug that could protect people who could stock pilot.
Speaker 5: It was very inexpensive at the time.
Speaker 4: You can look it up.
Speaker 6: I was on sixty minutes over this thing.
Speaker 5: It was a big deal. And when we presented.
Speaker 6: Our daily data to the Israeli military, they turned on
Speaker 6: the video. This is back in two thousand and five,
Speaker 6: and they showed me and my scientists F sixteen's that
Speaker 6: went in the Iraq and they took out the nuclear plants, okay,
Speaker 6: and they said, we don't think they don't think Iran
Speaker 6: has a nuclear bomb, and if we ever think they do,
Speaker 6: this is.
Speaker 5: Exactly what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2: I open my.
Speaker 6: Presentation and you can look it up with the Economists.
Speaker 6: The cover of The Economist that year at Arma Dinijohn,
Speaker 6: who was the man in power at around and in
Speaker 6: the background on the cover said unstoppable to the nuclear weapon.
Speaker 6: They will not stop enriching uranium and they will have
Speaker 6: a nuclear weapon. This is not negotiable. And I'm telling
Speaker 6: you we're gonna have to take them out. There's no
Speaker 6: other choice. Well I know this, I studied it and
Speaker 6: everything else.
Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more. And they can say what you want
Speaker 1: to say, but at the end of the day, they're
Speaker 1: gonna keep the nuclear weapon because they're gonna look at
Speaker 1: Libya as the role model. What happens when you give
Speaker 1: up weapons of mass destruction, you get destroyed. And they
Speaker 1: do not want peace. They want war because they want
Speaker 1: to kill Jews and kill Americans, and they see themselves
Speaker 1: nuclear bombs, the nuclear weaponry, and they have ballistic missiles
Speaker 1: as a way of ensuring their own service.
Speaker 6: We can't let them have it, and either Israel or
Speaker 6: a combination of the United States will take them out.
Speaker 6: There is no negotiation none. They're gonna lie and they're
Speaker 6: not gonna They're not gonna stop now. They're right on
Speaker 6: the cusp of abingdon. I'm telling you, if they don't
Speaker 6: have it already.
Speaker 1: And if they have it already and they threaten to
Speaker 1: use it and then they think they got they got
Speaker 1: Trump and the Trump card to play. And Israel, unlike America,
Speaker 1: I don't think Iran's gonna have the capability of launching
Speaker 1: against US anytime soon. But if they had the capability,
Speaker 1: they would, But they would launch against Israel in a
Speaker 1: heartbeat to kill six million Jews. That's what they're in
Speaker 1: the business to do. And can you imagine if Israel
Speaker 1: put down all their arms today, they would be overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: If Hamas and Hesla put down their arms, they'd be peace.
Speaker 1: Israeli's wan piece. Iranians want war and America should give
Speaker 1: it to them.
Speaker 6: Well, they've got to take it ran out.
Speaker 5: No question negotiable. It's not negotiable.
Speaker 1: Unless all of a sudden they change.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine I'm reading out of Iranian sources. What'sh
Speaker 1: The Iranian Foreign minister said this afternoon, no matter what happens,
Speaker 1: we're going to keep enriching are uranium, no matter what
Speaker 1: Americans say, We're going to keep doing it. And they are.
Speaker 1: They tell us what they're gonna do.
Speaker 6: Well, that's right. It's not for nuclear power, Make no mistake.
Speaker 6: We can give them all the energy they want for
Speaker 6: nuclear power.
Speaker 5: They don't need it. They've got more oil than anyone,
Speaker 5: so they don't. This is all a facade so.
Speaker 6: They can get a nuclear weapon, and that is really
Speaker 6: their motive. And I know Israel knows this, and Trump
Speaker 6: knows it. And I'm sorry, but I think we should
Speaker 6: be prepared to just take them out because it's not
Speaker 6: going to be any different.
Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't believe a word the Iranian people one piece.
Speaker 1: But the Iranian people can't control their own government. There's
Speaker 1: no free elections. Although they have so called elections there,
Speaker 1: they're not free elections. Iranians are hurting under all these sanctions.
Speaker 1: And Iranian people want peace, and unfortunately they've had a
Speaker 1: government since nineteen seventy nine, it wants war. If they
Speaker 1: want war, Israel will give it to them and that's
Speaker 1: what has to happen.
Speaker 5: I couldn't agree with you.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, like Palestine, Hamas owns Palestine. I mean, it's just
Speaker 6: the same thing. These people are bent on destruction period.
Speaker 1: Killing and death, killing and death, and the Gazans, the
Speaker 1: Palestinians would love to have peace. In fact, when they
Speaker 1: protest against Tamas, the family is beheaded, the women are raped,
Speaker 1: the men are killed. Hamas kills Palestinians. Everything happening in
Speaker 1: the Gaza right now is occasion because of the behavior
Speaker 1: of a mass supported by Iran. But for Iran, Hamas
Speaker 1: could not exist. The head of the snake, that's exactly right.
Speaker 6: And if you don't take them out, and they're gonna
Speaker 6: take themselves out by continuing to go down this path
Speaker 6: of enriching uranium, it's the one purpose. And I can
Speaker 6: tell you when I met with the Israeli military, it's
Speaker 6: not gonna happen.
Speaker 5: No, You're not going to happen.
Speaker 1: They can't.
Speaker 5: They know the end result. They can't.
Speaker 1: The end result is six million more dead Jews, six
Speaker 1: million more dead Jews. And then if and if Israel response,
Speaker 1: which I'm sure they will, and destroy most of Tehran
Speaker 1: and most of Iran in response. That's okay too, because
Speaker 1: the Iranian leadership believes that in death comes life, that
Speaker 1: by killing, life comes, and so they're not fearing a
Speaker 1: response because after all, they believe in death. They don't
Speaker 1: believe in life. It's a death cult. Well, you know death.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, it has to come before they attack Israel.
Speaker 5: Well they have to do it before.
Speaker 1: Bob, you and I make you think most of you
Speaker 1: think most of the world understands what you and I
Speaker 1: just discussed.
Speaker 6: Studied it. I studied nuclear weapony. I know how many
Speaker 6: people with a bowling ball size of uranium, how many
Speaker 6: it will kill with radiation sickness. I studied the whole thing,
Speaker 6: and I know it better than anybody. I wrote a
Speaker 6: book and a movie script about it because our government,
Speaker 6: even back then when Bush was president, did not do
Speaker 6: enough because of the bureaucracy. And unfortunately this has to
Speaker 6: be this story has to be told, so you're going
Speaker 6: to see. Unfortunately, I think you're going to see exactly
Speaker 6: the result. The Israeli has told me when I met
Speaker 6: with them, they're going to take Iran's nuclear capability away.
Speaker 1: I have to Bob, I wish it was different there's
Speaker 1: going to be innocent Iranians killed, just like there's innocent
Speaker 1: Gossin's killed because of a moss. The goals of a
Speaker 1: moss are the same as the goals of the Iranian
Speaker 1: leadership has blood, the same, bok are rama the same,
Speaker 1: the same stuff, And it's not it's not called to change.
Speaker 6: That's exactly right, And I don't care what spin you
Speaker 6: put on it, it's not going to change. They have
Speaker 6: an ideology that's going to eliminate the Jews and eliminate Israel,
Speaker 6: and we can't let it happen because we're next.
Speaker 5: They don't like us either. What do you think who's
Speaker 5: protesting in these colleges. It's them.
Speaker 1: It's funded and well funded protest. But it's an ideology
Speaker 1: that believes in death, not life, and given enough military power,
Speaker 1: they would they would destroy Europe, they would destroy the
Speaker 1: United States, they would destroy anything in their way because
Speaker 1: their culture is one of death not life. And almost
Speaker 1: every army wants to live, but the Iranian army that
Speaker 1: believes in this death called they want to die, and
Speaker 1: so why not arrange the meeting?
Speaker 6: That's that's exactly right. It's it's it's we've known this
Speaker 6: for a long time, but thank god we have a
Speaker 6: president that's going to address it, because you say, it's
Speaker 6: not even the president, it's the Democratic Party and it's
Speaker 6: everything that people are ignoring this threat and you can't
Speaker 6: ignore it anymore.
Speaker 1: Bob, just keep listening. This is going to happen in
Speaker 1: the next one to two months, and sadly a lot
Speaker 1: of people, innocent people is going to be killed. But
Speaker 1: the Iranian government's brought it on themselves. Let's continue with
Speaker 1: more forty nine minutes after the hour, Bill Cunningham with
Speaker 1: you Every Sunday Night by Billy Cunningham. My last caller
Speaker 1: had it exactly correct. I wish things were different. Innocent
Speaker 1: civilians are always killed in terrible wars brought about by
Speaker 1: their leaders, and the innocence of the children is lost,
Speaker 1: and the killing of civilians happen all the time in
Speaker 1: terrible wars. Make no mistake about this. Israel is in
Speaker 1: a fight for its life, it's survivability. If Israel was
Speaker 1: disarmed tonight, they would be over whelmed by Islamic extremists
Speaker 1: all over the Middle East. If the extremists were disarmed tonight, Hesbilahamas,
Speaker 1: Boko Haram, Taliban Iran. If that happened, there'd be peace.
Speaker 1: Israel wants peace, in Iran wants war. And that's why
Speaker 1: the trip by the President Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was
Speaker 1: so important to the Middle East to get on his
Speaker 1: side of the table. I'm sure in private meetings he
Speaker 1: told the leaders of those three Middle Eastern countries what
Speaker 1: the plans are, and those leaders gave Donald Trump the
Speaker 1: green light to do what must be done to disarm
Speaker 1: their enemy. Also is Iran. The only group hating Iran
Speaker 1: more militarily would be a Saudi Arabia, because Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: has been bombed etc. By the Hoodies rebels in South
Speaker 1: Yem and armed by Iran. And so it's sad. It
Speaker 1: is sick. But the IDF can do it by itself
Speaker 1: with little or no American help, and they've been attacked
Speaker 1: repeatedly by Iran. It is time to respond, and sadly,
Speaker 1: the Iranian people may suffer in the process. If Hamas
Speaker 1: did not exist inside of Gaza after twenty five, when
Speaker 1: Israel withdrew, there'd be peace in the Middle East. There'd
Speaker 1: be functional farms and villages and factories. There'd be functional hospitals,
Speaker 1: and schools. Gaza would be functional, but Hamas cannot allow
Speaker 1: that they live by death. They live by some sort
Speaker 1: of code that says to get to heaven, you've got
Speaker 1: to kill a Jew, or kill an American, or kill
Speaker 1: a Westerner. They have attacked cities all over the world.
Speaker 1: In fact, since nineteen seventy nine, there's been a quarter
Speaker 1: of a million Islamic extremist attacks all over the world
Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy nine, with millions are killed. And somehow
Speaker 1: this philosophy is not taken hold yet of the Middle
Speaker 1: East under the leadership of Donald Trump, who stopped war
Speaker 1: between India and Pakistan, will bring peace to Ukraine and
Speaker 1: Russia and also bring peace to the Middle East. Donald
Speaker 1: should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Coming up, my first
Speaker 1: guest of the ninet is Jeff true Air on Townhall
Speaker 1: dot Com about making sure Trump gets the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday.
Speaker 2: Night, Willie Brock You by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and
Speaker 2: Roadway in Hotels are serving up double points for every
Speaker 2: qualifying stay book at Choice Hotels dot com. Now here's
Speaker 2: the man who's been recognized as radio's best The recipient
Speaker 2: of not one but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his
Speaker 2: broadcast exodence The One and Only Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 1: By Billy Cunningham, The Great American. Of course, the president
Speaker 1: trip to the Middle East is now complete, and the
Speaker 1: Peacemaker in chief has tried with the Ukrainian situation. That
Speaker 1: thing is ongoing. Of course, great inroads I think were
Speaker 1: made with Gaza, and what's going to happen with the
Speaker 1: hesblon Hamas and Iran Trump is unbelievable. Joining you and
Speaker 1: I now is Jeffrey krue Air. He's an author, radio
Speaker 1: talk show host, often appearing on townhall dot Com, one
Speaker 1: of my favorite websites, and I want to share with
Speaker 1: the American people. Two headlines from Jeff Crueir. One quote
Speaker 1: Trump deserves Nobel Prize as world's champion peacemaker. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure NBC News would ever call it that. Another one
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden the biggest cover up in American history
Speaker 1: about being mentally incompetent for at least two or three
Speaker 1: years as the president. And Joining you and I now
Speaker 1: is Jeffrey Crueer. In first, Jeff, how would you overall
Speaker 1: describe the conduction of American foreign policy under Donald Trump
Speaker 1: as opposed to the auto pen man Joe Biden.
Speaker 8: Well, it's like going from the little sisters of the
Speaker 8: poor to the Kansas City chiefs. I mean, we're getting
Speaker 8: the pros back in charge. We're getting America first, patriots
Speaker 8: taking command. I mean, what he has done, Bill is astounding.
Speaker 8: It's just incredible. He's putting American people first, he's cutting deals,
Speaker 8: he's putting commerce first. He's bringing prosperity all over the world.
Speaker 8: He's getting our hostages home.
Speaker 6: Bill, and he's.
Speaker 8: Trying to prevent war. Now, you know, Joe Biden didn't
Speaker 8: do anything in his four years to prevent war. We
Speaker 8: just had wars breakout throughout his entire administration. This president's
Speaker 8: got to clean up the Biden mess.
Speaker 4: He's doing a great job.
Speaker 8: On my website, I gave him an a plus for
Speaker 8: his first one hundred days.
Speaker 1: Still, and how about this. One of your great sentences
Speaker 1: is this incredibly Barack Obama was nominated for the Nobel
Speaker 1: Peace Prize a few days after it was inauguration and
Speaker 1: actually received it. He was given the award for promising
Speaker 1: what he would achieve as president. He left office in
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, the world much more dangerous than when he
Speaker 1: took office. The Nobel Committee loves Jimmy Carter and Barack
Speaker 1: Hussein Obama couldn't care less about Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: So is the Nobel Peace Prize just a bit political?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 5: Bill?
Speaker 8: In the column, I cited the fact that they gave
Speaker 8: the Nobel Peace Prize to the communist dictator Michael Gorbachev,
Speaker 8: when the man who brought down the Evil Empire, brought
Speaker 8: down the Iron Curtain, ended Communism, freed hundreds of millions
Speaker 8: from the Iron Group of Communism without firing a shot.
Speaker 8: Ronald Reagan, he got overlooked, and they gave the communist
Speaker 8: the Nobel Peace Prize. They've given North Vietnamese communists the
Speaker 8: Nobel Peace Prize. They gave the Acer airfet the Nobel
Speaker 8: Peace Prize. They gave out for the Nobel Peace Prize,
Speaker 8: they gave Jimmy Carter, they gave, of course, Barack Obama
Speaker 8: for doing nothing. Ronald Reagan got no prize. And Donald Trump,
Speaker 8: who engineered the Abraham Accords, brought economic relations between Cosova
Speaker 8: and Serbia, lessened attentions with North Korea, had summits with
Speaker 8: Kim Jung On. Remember Barack Obama told him that was
Speaker 8: the number one hot spot in the world. Donald Trump,
Speaker 8: but dealt with it.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 8: He's bringing peace all over the world, trying to end
Speaker 8: wars that were started during Biyen's administration. He deserves the
Speaker 8: Nobeltree spot more than anybody else in the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what about that war? What about that four
Speaker 1: million dollar gift to the Department of Defense? What about that?
Speaker 1: And what about the fact that Donald Trump Junior may
Speaker 1: make money in the Middle East? What about that? Is
Speaker 1: that important too?
Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 8: I don't like to have my president flying around in
Speaker 8: a forty year old plane. Boeing cannot deliver on the
Speaker 8: new Air Force one that should have been delivered already.
Speaker 8: We need to find the president a better plane in
Speaker 8: the interim. This is one that they're offering. I think,
Speaker 8: of course, once you get it retrofitted, once you get
Speaker 8: it checked out, sure, let's use it for the President
Speaker 8: of the United States. I want the President of the
Speaker 8: United States flying in a plane that we can trust.
Speaker 8: I don't want them up there in a plane that's
Speaker 8: forty years old. And you know, it just leads to
Speaker 8: a lot of questions about Boeing. I mean, what in
Speaker 8: the world has Boeing been doing for all these years,
Speaker 8: Bill Cunningham. They've been, you know, not delivering on the
Speaker 8: promises they made. And that's a big problem.
Speaker 1: Just in the last several days, the Donald's brought back
Speaker 1: to America trillions of dollars in economic development from a
Speaker 1: part of the world which has been shall we say
Speaker 1: cold or cool toward the United States. He now has
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Dubai, et cetera working with him to
Speaker 1: take down the so called caliphate in Iran. He's got
Speaker 1: them talking the language back and forth. Syria, he meets
Speaker 1: with a Syrian presidentident who was a member of al
Speaker 1: Qaeda killing Americans. He meets with a Syrian president. So
Speaker 1: now he's reshaping, reordering the entire Middle East. And this
Speaker 1: is a real estate developer. And I watch MSNBC, so
Speaker 1: you don't have to, but I'm watching MSNBC and the
Speaker 1: whole world is incomplete collapse because of Donald Trump. Will
Speaker 1: talk to India versus Pakistan, how's that deal looking? The
Speaker 1: Pakistani president gave Donald Trump complete credit as the peacemaker
Speaker 1: for calming down the difficulties which are profound between India
Speaker 1: and Pakistan, and the Chinese situation is working out with
Speaker 1: tariffs everywhere. I look. This is unbelievable. Imagine and Joe
Speaker 1: Biden when he met with the leader Mohammed Binsaman wouldn't
Speaker 1: touch Joe Biden. They had to do a rock greeting
Speaker 1: and there was nothing out of that complete. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine Kamala Harris cackling in Saudi Arabia with any of
Speaker 1: this been going on, And I'm thinking this guy as unbelievable.
Speaker 8: He received a heroes welcome in all three of those countries.
Speaker 8: They treated him like gold. They respect him, they respect
Speaker 8: the United States. We're getting trillions of dollars in deals.
Speaker 8: The tariffs are working out perfectly, the economy is doing well,
Speaker 8: inflation is going down. The left have to find new
Speaker 8: things to complain about Bill. I've just been astounded by
Speaker 8: what he has done in this first you know, and
Speaker 8: one hundred and fifteen days or so. Let me say this,
Speaker 8: as far as these conflicts, I like the fact that
Speaker 8: he's going around, they're talking to Hamas, they're negotiating with Iran.
Speaker 8: You got the who he's now saying, they're not going
Speaker 8: to be attacking ships anymore because we pounded them for
Speaker 8: fifty two plus days in a row. He's reshaping everything,
Speaker 8: and at the same time he's still a friend to Israel.
Speaker 8: The same time, he's still trying to bring a bit
Speaker 8: out the end of the Ukrainian War. So he's got
Speaker 8: a lot of things going on. But he's a guy
Speaker 8: who is working twenty four to seven. On the other hand,
Speaker 8: Joe Biden, he slept his way through the presidency. He
Speaker 8: had an auto pen presidency. We don't even know who
Speaker 8: was in charge. There's no doubt who's in charge. Bill,
Speaker 8: It's Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: A couple of sentences from your column, Jeff Crueir. Reagan
Speaker 1: secured massive arms controlled deals with the Soviet Union, reduced
Speaker 1: greatly the fears of a nuclear war. His massive investments
Speaker 1: in our military bankrupted the Soviet Union, causing its collapse
Speaker 1: without firing a shot. Ronald Reagan and ath Eevil Empire
Speaker 1: freed millions of people in Eastern Europe from the clutches
Speaker 1: of communism. Reagan's policies brought down the Iron Curtain in
Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall, and the Nobel Peace Prize was given
Speaker 1: to Mikhail Gorbachev and also to lay Dac toe, and
Speaker 1: of course yes, you're aer fat and now here. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at this and I'm going, well, maybe there's a
Speaker 1: left maybe maybe there's a left wing bias, and you
Speaker 1: end up what Trump has done in his first four
Speaker 1: or five months in office, that this is the greatest
Speaker 1: four or five months in office of any American president,
Speaker 1: including FDR in nineteen thirty three, whose policies deepened, deepened
Speaker 1: the depression. He took a recession and made it a depression.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at this and it's it's like I
Speaker 1: live in some alternative universe. MSNBC, the Nightly News, they
Speaker 1: don't lead with the fact that Ronald that the Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan of today, who is of course Donald Trump. Brokeer
Speaker 1: to peace deal between India and Pakistan so they did
Speaker 1: not exchange nuclear weapons. He's meeting with the Syrian president
Speaker 1: as a buffer against Iran. He is Iran on its back,
Speaker 1: ready to accept the inspection by the IAEA. He has
Speaker 1: HESBA law right now in Lebanon, completely neutered. He's got
Speaker 1: Hamas and guys are freeing American prisoners. And on top
Speaker 1: of that, the trillions of dollars coming into this country.
Speaker 1: I watched this morning, some of the morning talk shows,
Speaker 1: and the whole world is in com plick collapse, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, do I live in some alternative universe?
Speaker 8: You know, you live in the United States of America,
Speaker 8: led by a truly great president. And what's also awesome
Speaker 8: Bill is that he surrounded himself with a really good team.
Speaker 8: I trust Marco Rubio, I trust jd Vance. That's the
Speaker 8: one big improvement that I see over Trump one is
Speaker 8: he's got a team around him that believes in his mission,
Speaker 8: believes in his agenda. They're capable, they're competent, they're working
Speaker 8: with him. So that's why I think he's been so successful,
Speaker 8: not just what he's done, but what his team has
Speaker 8: been able to do. So it is a rock star start.
Speaker 8: But then, you know, we have the critics, We have
Speaker 8: the Bruce Springsteens of the world. You know, we've got
Speaker 8: the MSNBC's of the world. The left, you know, fixated
Speaker 8: on this plane. I mean, they don't see the trillions
Speaker 8: of dollars coming in, they don't see the piece that
Speaker 8: is breaking out over where. I mean, he is definitely changing.
Speaker 8: This entire dynamic that we have with the Middle East
Speaker 8: is it is a tremendous step forward economically. I mean,
Speaker 8: we're going to bring prosperity to their region, to our country.
Speaker 8: I mean it is exciting, it really is. And you know,
Speaker 8: I credit him for his vision. He's just got tremendous vision.
Speaker 8: To see all this bill.
Speaker 1: And the other thing that has come out from the
Speaker 1: Department of Labor there was four hundred thousand American jobs
Speaker 1: supposedly created leading up to the twenty twenty four election,
Speaker 1: that we're all fraudulent. We now have the emails back
Speaker 1: and forth with Pfizer and the government indicating that did
Speaker 1: not want the results of the COVID COVID vaccines to
Speaker 1: come out before the election because it was banned for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. You have another great column up about Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: the biggest cover up in American history. And now because
Speaker 1: of Jake Tapper, who by the way, covered the mental
Speaker 1: decline of Joe Biden like it was the Martians landing, Joe,
Speaker 1: CNN said what are you talking about? And then he
Speaker 1: got Joe Scarborough in March of twenty twenty four saying,
Speaker 1: listen up, record this, play it back to me. This
Speaker 1: is the sharpest Joe Biden that has ever existed. This
Speaker 1: guy is unbelievable. He does a Rubik's cube in about
Speaker 1: nine seconds. This guy can sprint the one hundred meter
Speaker 1: dash in ten point one seconds. This guy can do
Speaker 1: i amic pentameters backwards. He speaks five different languages. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is just as sharp as can be. And now
Speaker 1: we have the truth coming out from Jake Tapper and
Speaker 1: others explain how this is somewhat somewhat unusual.
Speaker 8: You know, he's so sharp, Bill, he can't even get
Speaker 8: off of the stage.
Speaker 4: I mean, where am I?
Speaker 8: He's so sharp. He can't even stay on a bike.
Speaker 8: He can't even walk up air Force one stairs. He's
Speaker 8: got to use the baby stairs. No, the biggest cover
Speaker 8: up in American history. Everyone knew that this guy was
Speaker 8: mentally incompetent, but the media covered it up and the
Speaker 8: Biden administration covered it up. I mean, I think they
Speaker 8: were trying to somehow get him through the election. They
Speaker 8: were going to try to see if they could get
Speaker 8: him in there for a second term, and then supposedly
Speaker 8: they were going to put him in a wheelchair and
Speaker 8: again turn him into SDR. I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 8: it's just insane. So we really are so fortunate and
Speaker 8: blessed that we didn't have Kamala Harris and you know,
Speaker 8: this whole Democrat machine again in there. I mean, what
Speaker 8: damage they've done. Twelve out of the last sixteen years,
Speaker 8: we've had Democrat leadership Obama and Biden, and there's so
Speaker 8: much that needs to be you know, taking care of
Speaker 8: because of the mess that they made. And I want
Speaker 8: to see Republicans doing hearings on this Biden cover up.
Speaker 8: I want to see Republicans getting to the bottom of
Speaker 8: the lives that we were fed for all these years
Speaker 8: about Biden. I want to see his doctor. I want
Speaker 8: to see his doctor up there giving testimony about why
Speaker 8: he wasn't given a cognitive test. I mean, in February
Speaker 8: of twenty twenty four, they did not give him a
Speaker 8: cognitive test. That's their eliction of duty. I mean, it's
Speaker 8: just incredible. President Trump just took a full physical cognitive test,
Speaker 8: and of course he passed with flying colors, and he
Speaker 8: announced it to the world and presented the results to
Speaker 8: the world, and everything under Joe Biden was just a
Speaker 8: cover up, was a lie. And of course the results
Speaker 8: were so damaging our years of incredible damage.
Speaker 1: It was awful, and then we finally cackling. Kamalo would
Speaker 1: have been incredible. And I think Biden's doctor said at
Speaker 1: one point that Joe Biden could beat Spock in a
Speaker 1: game with three dimensional blindfolded chess, and I'm thinking, Mike
Speaker 1: Spok he could beat Spock in chess and do a
Speaker 1: Rubik's cube in nine seconds. Joe Starry, this is as
Speaker 1: sharp as he's ever been. Run the tape.
Speaker 8: Here's the reality. He didn't even know who he didn't
Speaker 8: know who his cabinet members were. He had a hard
Speaker 8: time remembering the name of Jake Sullivan, that was his
Speaker 8: National Security advisor.
Speaker 1: He called him Steve.
Speaker 8: He did not know who his Defense secretary was. He
Speaker 8: could not name Lloyd Austin. They were several times at
Speaker 8: events where you know, he called him the big.
Speaker 1: Guy, or how about the black guy or the black
Speaker 1: guy I managed the Republican president calling his like colin power.
Speaker 1: Remember he's the black guy. What's your name? And that's
Speaker 1: the Department of Defense who's been there for four years now. Lastly,
Speaker 1: you've got a great part of your colin at townhall
Speaker 1: dot com about George Clooney, who, by the way of
Speaker 1: courses from Cincinnati. Everything in the world resolves around Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: But George Clooney had a big fundraiser for him, I
Speaker 1: guess in May or June of twenty twenty four, in
Speaker 1: which they raised twenty five million dollars. All the Hollywood
Speaker 1: big wigs were there, you know, the common men represented
Speaker 1: all the big wigs. And George Clooney has turned out
Speaker 1: to be a hero, except right now he's ignored by
Speaker 1: the radical left. He told the truth, explained George Clooney's
Speaker 1: involvement in getting rid of Joe Biden.
Speaker 8: I think it was the key because you Clooney wrote
Speaker 8: a column it was in the New York Times calling
Speaker 8: for Biden to step aside, say that he noticed at
Speaker 8: the fundraiser that he had for Biden that Biden was
Speaker 8: someone that looked like he was mentally incomfident. He was worried.
Speaker 8: He saw a big change in Joe Biden. And of
Speaker 8: course all those are lies, because Biden was like that
Speaker 8: the entire term. What I think George Clooney got upset
Speaker 8: about is that Joe Biden didn't recognize George Clooney. From
Speaker 8: what I'm being told, he didn't know who George Clooney
Speaker 8: was so that got George Clooney upset, and he's like,
Speaker 8: all right, I'll write a column now that I think
Speaker 8: was actually written by Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: Now Obama and the King, Jeffries and Schumer and Pelosi,
Speaker 1: they were the lynch mob to pull him out of office,
Speaker 1: but none of them went their fingerprints on the deal.
Speaker 1: And I love now being asked about all these books
Speaker 1: coming out about how competent R is a InCom and
Speaker 1: all saying, what are you talking about? We're talking about
Speaker 1: the future. They don't even answer a question about it.
Speaker 1: We're moving on. Ignore the fact that we had an
Speaker 1: incompetent present with terrible results and almost elected a cackling
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris Well, Jeff Carere, we got to run. But
Speaker 1: your stuff is wonderful at town hall dot com. Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: the biggest carve up in American history and the most
Speaker 1: recent one involves Trump deserving Nobel prizes World's Greatest Peacemaker.
Speaker 1: And Jeff Crueir, you're a great American once again, thanks
Speaker 1: for coming on the Bill cunning Emagon. You know the
Speaker 1: black guy who's that black guy over my defense secretary?
Speaker 1: The black guy, Yeah, yeah, yeah, raise your hand.
Speaker 8: Unbelievable, and he was president. Bill, that's the incredible thing.
Speaker 1: Two am telephone call, you're gonna two o'clock. He's asleep
Speaker 1: at six pm. He's got the blue plate special from
Speaker 1: the cafeteria. But all right, Jeff Career, you're the best.
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming, Thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jeff you Bill. Let's continue. His stuff is wonderful.
Speaker 1: It's at Townhall dot com. Jeff crue Air from New Orleans,
Speaker 1: which again is a great, great American run city by
Speaker 1: the Democrats, wonderful place. Let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham
Speaker 1: live with you every Sunday night. Now, Billy Cunningham is
Speaker 1: always good to hear from. Jeff crue Air. Had those
Speaker 1: inmates break out of prison, like ten to twelve murderers,
Speaker 1: I think two or three have been found. New Orleans,
Speaker 1: great city. Sixty minutes this morning, did a special on it.
Speaker 1: I think is wonderful. I've been there several times. In fact,
Speaker 1: when I got one of my Marconi's it was in
Speaker 1: New Orleans and the People's Judge and I my wife
Speaker 1: went down there for a weekend at a fabulous time.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, once again I want to note that no
Speaker 1: one here wishes anything but good health and good luck
Speaker 1: to President Joe Biden in this diagnosis of stage four
Speaker 1: of prostate cancer. On a scale of Gleason scale of
Speaker 1: one to ten, he's out of nine. It spread past
Speaker 1: the prostate, according to news releases. And I wouldn't wish
Speaker 1: that on my even my political enemies, because life is
Speaker 1: more important than politics. So I wish him nothing but
Speaker 1: the best as we go forward, coming up next to
Speaker 1: Steve Cortez, a Catholic vote, and Steve Cortes has been
Speaker 1: on CNN many of the outlets for a long time
Speaker 1: about the papal mass today with Pope Leo the fourteenth,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And later on, of course, is Congress from
Speaker 1: Warren Davidson. As you may know, the House is ten
Speaker 1: o'clock session tonight, going nuts trying to get the big
Speaker 1: beautiful Bill over the finish line. I got my profound doubts,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to talk to a real live Congressman
Speaker 1: about what's happening in the Congress. As we speak, into
Speaker 1: the promises that we're made, the line becomes available eight
Speaker 1: sixty six six four seven seven three three seven Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham to Great America. With you at all Great Americans
Speaker 1: every Sunday Night, Billy Cunningham to Great American. Steve Cortes
Speaker 1: is the president of the League of American Workers and
Speaker 1: senior political advisor to Catholic Vote. Joining you and I
Speaker 1: now and once again, Steve Cortes, Welcome to the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. Just in a general way. When Leo was selected,
Speaker 1: I thought it was fabulous, But then there's lots of
Speaker 1: negative stuff coming out, which I think is a bunch
Speaker 1: of bs. Give the guy a break. I love the
Speaker 1: fact he's an American. I love the fact he's a
Speaker 1: White Sox fan, which he knows what losing is all about.
Speaker 1: I looked at twenty oh five when the White Sox
Speaker 1: are in the World Series and there's a there's a
Speaker 1: much younger Catholic priest they just happened to have an
Speaker 1: out q of and that's Leo the fourteenth. And it's
Speaker 1: unbelievable that we have this guy at this point. But
Speaker 1: there's an intersection of Catholic social teaching and economic challenges
Speaker 1: that I hope this pope understands. Tell the American people
Speaker 1: that juxtaposition.
Speaker 4: You bet and I'm listen.
Speaker 9: I'm very confident he does understand it, given his name
Speaker 9: and his own explanation for choosing that name. But yeah, first,
Speaker 9: let me just tell you so, I grew up right
Speaker 9: near the Pope. Now I'm sixteen years younger than him,
Speaker 9: so we didn't we didn't, you know, overlap it all.
Speaker 9: But I was at that same World Series game. There's
Speaker 9: been the game one in two thousand and five. I
Speaker 9: wasn't on camera, but I was there, unlike the Pope,
Speaker 9: but kind of fun just to think you were in
Speaker 9: the stadium, you know.
Speaker 4: At this momentous game the Pope, with the Pope and he.
Speaker 4: There's also been for a lot of people who are
Speaker 4: from the South Side of Chicago, like he and I are.
Speaker 9: There's a very famous pizza place called Aurelios, which I
Speaker 9: was basically raised on, and there was he was just
Speaker 9: recently a year ago back there visiting and sure enough
Speaker 9: went to Aurelios, which also speaks highly of his taste
Speaker 9: and his character. So but even more importantly than Chicago pizza.
Speaker 9: When he chose the name Leo, first, of course, I
Speaker 9: was excited a Chicago w as a sicaro guy, very
Speaker 9: excited as an American a big deal for this country,
Speaker 9: of course. But then when I heard Leo, I said, huh,
Speaker 9: because Leo the thirteenth, Okay, his predecessor by name over
Speaker 9: one hundred years ago. But his predecessor by name, I thought,
Speaker 9: people names typically mean something, right there, There's often is
Speaker 9: a lot of like for example, picking pious. Generally, pulp
Speaker 9: pious has had been very traditional, very conservative, sort of
Speaker 9: in church terms.
Speaker 4: But picking Leo, I said, I wonder if this is
Speaker 4: a nod to.
Speaker 9: Leela thirteenth, And so I started and Rare novarum specifically,
Speaker 9: which I believe is really a theological explanation of populist economics.
Speaker 9: So I started writing up this op ed before he
Speaker 9: had even commented on his own name. Sure enough, before
Speaker 9: I submitted it. Thankfully, he clarified that was absolutely why he.
Speaker 4: Chose the name Leo.
Speaker 9: Was Rarem novarum, which means of new things, was written
Speaker 9: in the eighteen nineties of papal in cyclical and for
Speaker 9: the non.
Speaker 4: Catholics out there, and it'sypical.
Speaker 9: It isn't just the pope musing Okay, that's something serious,
Speaker 9: and it has the power of the papacy. And so
Speaker 9: for Catholics. We take that unbelievably seriously. It means real
Speaker 9: Catholic thinking. They don't come out very often.
Speaker 4: Because they're very scholarly, often complex works.
Speaker 9: They're sometimes not that easy to read, quite frankly, because
Speaker 9: they're so intellectual.
Speaker 4: This one is I could encourage people to read.
Speaker 9: It's not that long, and you will see he's talking
Speaker 9: about the industrial revolution at that time and what it
Speaker 9: means for the morality and ethics.
Speaker 4: Of economic policy.
Speaker 9: And he does really two things that might appear to
Speaker 9: be intention but I don't think they are. But the
Speaker 9: first is he completely dismisses and rejects socialism, because socialism
Speaker 9: was getting very pervasive across Europe at that point, not
Speaker 9: really yet here, but a little bit. And he totally
Speaker 9: rejects socialism for its atheism, for its dehumanizing effect upon people.
Speaker 9: But at the same time he also doesn't want raw commercialism,
Speaker 9: and he thinks that crony capitalism of dismisses workers and
Speaker 9: that elevates only capital in terms of public policy decisions
Speaker 9: and not the success of masses of workers is also wrong.
Speaker 9: And he calls for a very different kind of economic
Speaker 9: theory of distributism and subsidiarity where decisions are made at
Speaker 9: the lowest levels possible and you avoid a massive concentration
Speaker 9: of economic power. When I read rerem Novarum, it really
Speaker 9: is a churchman to me talking a lot like Donald
Speaker 9: Trump talks about the economy, about a pro worker economy
Speaker 9: that protects workers in every way.
Speaker 4: So that makes me very happy. Listen, the Pope has.
Speaker 9: Said some worries, some things politically for sure for people,
Speaker 9: like being on the right, especially regarding immigration, especially regarding climate.
Speaker 9: But the fact that he chose this name, which is
Speaker 9: so important, and the fact that really his first addresses
Speaker 9: of Pope was to explain why he chose a name
Speaker 9: because of Rero Obar, and he specifically sites that were
Speaker 9: in another industrial revolution, this one being.
Speaker 4: Digital, you know, with AI and automation and so forth.
Speaker 9: It tells me that actually he and the America First
Speaker 9: movement in the United States are way more closely aligned
Speaker 9: than people might think, especially on this key key topic
Speaker 9: of the economy.
Speaker 1: And you know, Steve Cortes, we practicing Roman Catholics often
Speaker 1: we're not real happy with Francis and the media never
Speaker 1: allowed those criticisms to percolate to the top. He came
Speaker 1: out of an orientation out of Argentina that was certainly socialistic.
Speaker 1: There was military pressures in Argentina, and Francis, God bless
Speaker 1: his soul, was not as good on doctrine, not as
Speaker 1: good on some of the current issues as we would
Speaker 1: like him to be, and so the media played up
Speaker 1: quite a bit the comments he had a JD. Vance
Speaker 1: two or three months ago cardinal at that point not
Speaker 1: quite the Pope fourteenth said that you don't rank love
Speaker 1: for various kinds of individuals. That's in relationship to illegal immigration,
Speaker 1: and what jade Vance has said, You don't like someone
Speaker 1: knock on your door, open the door and come in
Speaker 1: with into your home without knowing who they are, what's
Speaker 1: their purpose in being there? Are they going to cause danger?
Speaker 1: And did the media overplay? And I also watched some
Speaker 1: of the some of the evening talk shows talk about JD.
Speaker 1: Vance killed the Pope not being Francis, which is ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, address yourself to the criticisms the Pope gave
Speaker 1: the JD Vance, who's gonna of course, practicing a Roman Catholic,
Speaker 1: he went through the process of my home parish at
Speaker 1: Saint Gertrude's and Cincinnati. He converted in twenty nineteen. Jade
Speaker 1: Vance did, and of course I know him personally. I
Speaker 1: love that guy. But what about the criticisms of the
Speaker 1: Pope about JD. Evans.
Speaker 10: Well, let me just first say so, I spent a lot.
Speaker 4: Of twenty twenty two in your state working for JD.
Speaker 9: Vance in his Senate race, and really got to know
Speaker 9: the state well, the wonderful people and him, and I
Speaker 9: can certainly tell you far away from cameras and microphones,
Speaker 9: he's the most principal man that I have met in politics,
Speaker 9: and a big part of that is his commitment to
Speaker 9: his Catholicism. He really takes it seriously with the zeal
Speaker 9: of a convert, and it's one of the reasons that
Speaker 9: I so admire him. Now politically, did he and Francis
Speaker 9: have differences? Of course, I also think it's a real
Speaker 9: gift regarding him seeing Francis. Wasn't that wonderful that he
Speaker 9: was probably one of the last people to see him alive.
Speaker 9: What a gift to America, right that our vice president
Speaker 9: got to go there. So that's the way I see it,
Speaker 9: not that not convoluted rumors and so forth. But regarding
Speaker 9: this the new pot Pobolio. Listen, Yes he was critical,
Speaker 9: publicly critical in some tweets, which I bet he regressed setting.
Speaker 4: Now who knows about JD vance.
Speaker 9: But you know, I want to focus on this again,
Speaker 9: the prudential judgment on tactics that belongs in the secular
Speaker 9: realm of elected politicians here in the United States. What
Speaker 9: kind of principles they bring to that, to that agenda,
Speaker 9: and to that job, right, that incredible job of leadership.
Speaker 9: Those principles, though, absolutely should flow from your faith, from
Speaker 9: your worldview, and your worldview is formed more than anything
Speaker 9: if you're a believer in Christianity, is for more than anything,
Speaker 9: by Jesus Christ, the Bible and the teachings of the Church.
Speaker 9: And so you bring those principles then into practice. But again,
Speaker 9: the specifics of the practice is not where Pope Francis
Speaker 9: or even.
Speaker 4: Pope Leo belongs.
Speaker 9: Giving advice that should be taken beyond that of just
Speaker 9: a person, right, a very smart person, to be sure,
Speaker 9: But he's not then teaching with the authority of the church.
Speaker 4: He gets into those kinds of tactics.
Speaker 9: So will there be disagreements, Yes, you know, I mentioned
Speaker 9: too climate and immigration. I think are probably where the
Speaker 9: Vatican and the American First Movement are furthest apart, but
Speaker 9: on the economy, right, which is for most people the
Speaker 9: number one issue, right most people in the world, serving
Speaker 9: most Americans. On that key, key issue, I think we're
Speaker 9: actually totally in alignment. Even if we don't use exactly
Speaker 9: the same terms, We're after the same goals. We're guided
Speaker 9: by the same price that I'm telling you Rerem novaram
Speaker 9: you know which Again he cited.
Speaker 4: As the as the reason for his name.
Speaker 9: Popello fourteenth Rerem Novarum is practically a primer for America
Speaker 9: First economics, even though.
Speaker 4: It was written one hundred and thirty five years ago.
Speaker 1: So he understands the rising tide lifts all boats, the
Speaker 1: way to make money's available to the poor, homelessness, the
Speaker 1: way to take care of hunger. The way to handle
Speaker 1: all these issues is to have any economy that supports
Speaker 1: throws off enough money to provide for the least among us,
Speaker 1: and to have any economy that's almost collapsing. I look
Speaker 1: at the major blue cities and blue states in this country.
Speaker 1: Those economies were almost collapsing because of the politics infecting capitalism.
Speaker 1: But he sees America as a benefit. Some have said,
Speaker 1: why doesn't he come here quickly? I don't think you'll
Speaker 1: be here for three to five years. He can't be
Speaker 1: perceived as being an American sadly because in Europe, which
Speaker 1: is very socialistic, that they were a little bit antagonistic
Speaker 1: at this point. A couple issues on your website, Well,
Speaker 1: one is dealing with about the attacks on Catholic churches
Speaker 1: and pregnancy centers and pro life groups that would never
Speaker 1: be agreeable if it happened on the other side. And
Speaker 1: what's happening to the attack on pregnancy life centers and
Speaker 1: pro life groups that will change under Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: Jade Vans.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 9: Federal law enforcement has taken it incredibly seriously, and we're
Speaker 9: already seeing that just a few months into this administration.
Speaker 9: So that's for certain that will happen. But no, this
Speaker 9: is tragic, and I really commend Catholic Vote, who's been
Speaker 9: tracking this for quite a while, basically since the riots
Speaker 9: of the summer of twenty twenty, which is when this
Speaker 9: unfortunate trend accelerated with attacks on Christian sites, whether it's
Speaker 9: Catholic churches, pro life pregnancy centers, other Christian churches. They've
Speaker 9: been documenting the attacks on Catholic institutions and sadly we've
Speaker 9: reached five hundred, five hundred attacks. And some of these
Speaker 9: are very serious, right, some are still serious but less
Speaker 9: so graffiti that sort of things, but some of them,
Speaker 9: you know, are actual break in is much more violent
Speaker 9: at times, hurt actual people, not as property. It's a really,
Speaker 9: really unfortunate trend and gets almost zero attention to the
Speaker 9: corporate media. Thank you for bringing it up, and thankfully
Speaker 9: Catholic Vote is tracking.
Speaker 4: All of these.
Speaker 9: You can go to the website and see every instant
Speaker 9: it is cited.
Speaker 4: None of this is hyperbole.
Speaker 9: We are we are tracking this and we hit a
Speaker 9: sad milestone, which you know, we kind of knew we
Speaker 9: were going to get to that roughly around the time
Speaker 9: of the new Pope. And but regarding law enforcement here
Speaker 9: in the United States, listen, I believe that people like
Speaker 9: Cash Betel and Dan Bongino now at FBI, Pam Bondi
Speaker 9: at DOJ, overseeing the entire federal legal apparatus, they take
Speaker 9: this extremely seriously and specifically for Catholics. I would say
Speaker 9: the Trump administration in the first term, and even more
Speaker 9: so I think in this term has a lot of
Speaker 9: Catholics in really prevalent positions. And so that doesn't mean
Speaker 9: that we're gonna get special treatment. But I will tell
Speaker 9: you this, Catholic concerns will not be dismissed. Right and
Speaker 9: Catholin's Church is getting an attack. It's something that Donald
Speaker 9: Trump cares about. He's somebody who's not calling himself but
Speaker 9: loves the church. Came to the Al Smith dinner for example,
Speaker 9: when Commas there skipped it, which I think was one
Speaker 9: of the worst political mistakes of her of her campaign.
Speaker 9: So this stuff, you know, he's very close with Cardinal Dolan.
Speaker 9: This stuff matters to him and matters his administration. And
Speaker 9: of course we don't want lawlessness against any institution, particularly
Speaker 9: religious ones. I wouldn't care if they were hint to him.
Speaker 9: Course we should all decry it and work to stop it.
Speaker 9: But it's it's clear that there's a targeting here of Christianity,
Speaker 9: and and really within Christianity, of Catholicism in particular.
Speaker 1: Steve Cortes, Catholic Vote dot Org, et cetera. As far
Speaker 1: as the prognostications, I want to over again, who was
Speaker 1: going to be the new Pope, and of course it
Speaker 1: was Leo the fourteenth privost. It wasn't perceived to be
Speaker 1: as in the front of pact because he was an
Speaker 1: American and now here he's the least American cardinal. In
Speaker 1: other words, he's the least he's the most acceptable American
Speaker 1: cardinal because the fact he's an American as a negative
Speaker 1: explain that dynamic around the world. How not to be
Speaker 1: an American is a positive?
Speaker 9: Right, Well, first of all, I don't believe that that
Speaker 9: he's not American. Again, if you're pretty American, I think
Speaker 9: if you're a white size stand who goes to the
Speaker 9: World Series in the South Side in two thousand and five,
Speaker 9: I mean that tells me just culturally, if you eat
Speaker 9: pizza Aurelios as I said, which is a legendary South
Speaker 9: Side Chicago pizza place, I mean that tells me you're
Speaker 9: pretty dang American. Even though he has spent three decades
Speaker 9: mostly in South America, right as a missionary, that's something
Speaker 9: that should be commended.
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean you lose your americanness or your heritage.
Speaker 9: And where he grew up in Dalton, Illinois, when he
Speaker 9: was a boy there again, I knows there's super well
Speaker 9: from there myself was really kind of almost just an idyllic,
Speaker 9: middle class suburban life.
Speaker 4: It's unfortunately changed for the worst since then, but.
Speaker 9: At that time, when he was young, it was heavenly Catholic,
Speaker 9: very ethnic, and just kind of one of these wonderful
Speaker 9: middle class neighborhoods with picket fences and you know, where
Speaker 9: family could thrive on a single income. That that's his childhood.
Speaker 9: So I think he's thoroughly American. But to answer your
Speaker 9: question regarding yes, is there anti Americanism particularly among elite Europeans. Absolutely,
Speaker 9: and even within the church, Yes, there is absolutely. I
Speaker 9: think also the Italian cardinals quite frankly, and they're the
Speaker 9: biggest voting block.
Speaker 4: Of course.
Speaker 9: They now haven't had an Italian pope in a while,
Speaker 9: right since the nineteen seventies, and I think some of
Speaker 9: them were saying, isn't it maybe time.
Speaker 1: For an Italian again?
Speaker 9: After I guess it was about four hundred and fifty
Speaker 9: years prior to John Paul the Second then you know,
Speaker 9: no Italian since, so it was there some anti Americans
Speaker 9: and probably that's you know, look, they are human beings,
Speaker 9: even though we hope they're got about the Holy Spirit
Speaker 9: and believe they are. But in the end, yeah, I
Speaker 9: think that the fact that he's an American is probably
Speaker 9: a plus. And just to be very practical about this,
Speaker 9: and I don't think this is crass to point out
Speaker 9: most of the Vatican budget comes.
Speaker 4: From American donors. We are way more generous than European Catholics.
Speaker 9: A lot of the rest of the Catholic world frankly
Speaker 9: doesn't have a lot of money to give, so it
Speaker 9: really is financed by American donors. So I think that
Speaker 9: probably was at least part of the text here in
Speaker 9: choosing him. But in addition to being an American, of
Speaker 9: course he's got the Latin American experience, understands the Third World.
Speaker 9: And then by the way it transferred to headquarters and
Speaker 9: working as the head of bishops in the Vatican, where
Speaker 9: I'm sure a lot of the Italians didn't get to
Speaker 9: know him and respect him. And you know, it didn't
Speaker 9: take very long. So that tells me it wasn't too
Speaker 9: much of a fight, right, because this happened on day two,
Speaker 9: so it seems like pretty quickly people call us behind him.
Speaker 9: I mean, of course we're not supposed to know all
Speaker 9: of the details you read leaks, you don't know if
Speaker 9: they're valid or not.
Speaker 4: But I think what we can reasonably determine is this wasn't.
Speaker 9: A knockdown, drag out fight because they got to a
Speaker 9: decision pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: Well with the last few popes have been from Poland
Speaker 1: and Germany and Argentina now Peru. I think Leo's got
Speaker 1: a twenty five year run, which are well over a
Speaker 1: half a century, quite unusual. Lastly, on the immigration issue,
Speaker 1: which is extremely popular. What Trump is doing, despite the
Speaker 1: predilections of the mainstream media is extremely popular. Is that
Speaker 1: going to be the main rub? Because Catholic teaching is
Speaker 1: welcome the stranger, open up the borders. Of course, the
Speaker 1: Vatican itself have walls that are like twelve feet thick.
Speaker 1: That's a different issue. But nonetheless, is that going to
Speaker 1: be the major rub?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 9: My guess is yes. I think Here's again. I think
Speaker 9: they're actually super aligned. On the economy. I'm hoping that
Speaker 9: a lot more people in the Vatican are waking up
Speaker 9: to the climate scam, to the climate hysteria, So I
Speaker 9: don't see those as flash points. To me, it probably
Speaker 9: will be migration and look I think actually that that
Speaker 9: being tough on borders, insisting on law and order is
Speaker 9: actually very consistent with Catholic doctrine. But there are some folks,
Speaker 9: even in the hierarchy who clearly would not agree with
Speaker 9: me at that point.
Speaker 4: So we may have to agree to disagree on those points.
Speaker 9: But you're like I, For example, I just posted today
Speaker 9: on my social media and interview I did forty minutes
Speaker 9: of a cop, former Phoenix cop, talking about the cartels,
Speaker 9: the Mexican cartels activities in Arizona in the United States,
Speaker 9: how violent they are, how vicious they are inside of
Speaker 9: the United States.
Speaker 4: That's because of an open border. And there's nothing merciful
Speaker 4: about that.
Speaker 9: There's nothing merciful about allowing criminal organizations to own a
Speaker 9: border region and to then infiltrate into our country. And
Speaker 9: so I would challenge any any churchman I would I
Speaker 9: would challenge any you know.
Speaker 4: Pro open borders or propoor as borders.
Speaker 9: Catholic explain to me how that is just and moral
Speaker 9: in Christian I don't think it is at all. I
Speaker 9: think law and order actually and protecting the weak and
Speaker 9: protecting your country. You know, we lock our doors at
Speaker 9: night in our homes not because we hate those on
Speaker 9: the outside, but because we love those on the inside.
Speaker 9: And I think the same goes for your home as
Speaker 9: for a cause country. And we have every rights, I believe,
Speaker 9: every obligation as a matter of fact, to effectively lock
Speaker 9: our doors to protect ourselves from preventable dangers. And I
Speaker 9: think not only is that just practical imprudence, but I
Speaker 9: think it's actually totally consistent with Christianity and Catholicism.
Speaker 1: In my view, that capitalism is the cure for climate difficulties,
Speaker 1: not the cause. And right now we have the cleanest dai,
Speaker 1: the cleanest water, and let's keep doing it. Once again,
Speaker 1: Steve Cortes, good to helk up with you again Catholic
Speaker 1: vote dot org. All the issues are there, including what's
Speaker 1: happening with transitioning gender transition, which has completely been debunked
Speaker 1: by every independent study. But however, the media won't let
Speaker 1: go of the fact that boys can be girls and
Speaker 1: girls gonna be boys. I thought science was real. I
Speaker 1: thought biology was a fact. Maybe it isn't, but I
Speaker 1: got to run Steve Cortes once again, Katholic vote dot org.
Speaker 1: Is that correct?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for having a lot.
Speaker 1: Of good stuff there, Steve, Thank you so much. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Let's continue. Let's continue with more and if a line
Speaker 1: becomes available, you know the routine. But for the last
Speaker 1: couple of three years, I've lost track of Stephen Cortez.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I hooked up with him again. Let's continue
Speaker 1: with more. Bill cunning In The Great American Live with
Speaker 1: you every Sunday Night by Bully cunning in the Great American.
Speaker 1: Once again, we wish good health the ex President Joe
Speaker 1: Biden as he fights prize day cancer stage four. That's fantastasized,
Speaker 1: and that's always a bad situation. We wish him and
Speaker 1: the family chemically, medically, nothing but the best going forward.
Speaker 1: Coming up next is a real life congressman about what's
Speaker 1: happening in the so called House Budget Committee tonight and
Speaker 1: later on Wednesday. It's supposed to be reported out on
Speaker 1: the Rules Committee. Then away we go. Bill cunning and
Speaker 1: the Great American with you and all Great Americans every
Speaker 1: Sunday night.
Speaker 4: Willie.
Speaker 2: Welcome you. By Choice Hotels, Acono Lodge and Roadway In
Speaker 2: Hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying stay
Speaker 2: book at Choice hotels dot com. Now here's the man
Speaker 2: who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not
Speaker 2: one but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast excellence.
Speaker 4: The one and Only Bill Cunninghead.
Speaker 1: By Billy Cunningham, the Grand America. Of course, we offer
Speaker 1: symplevation to the Biden family for the announced that he's
Speaker 1: contracted stage four Price day cancer, which is a UH,
Speaker 1: which is difficult diagnosis in your eighties. I can't imagine why.
Speaker 1: I like to know politically and culturally and also medically
Speaker 1: what's happened the past several years. Most of us older
Speaker 1: guys tend to have these exams on a regular basis,
Speaker 1: so maybe it was missed, maybe it wasn't missed, but
Speaker 1: it's a caution to us all to make sure we
Speaker 1: have PSA's done and also drees which are uncomfortable digital
Speaker 1: rectal exams, and have other blood tests done. I would
Speaker 1: assume that ex President Joe Biden had that done with
Speaker 1: without depicting it until recently, and we'll see what happens
Speaker 1: down the road. But joining us now is Warren Davidson, Congressman,
Speaker 1: one of the leaders of the UH of the House
Speaker 1: of Representatives and Congressman Davidson welcome again to the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. And I first, I'm sure you joined me
Speaker 1: in offering help and sympathies to the a Biden family
Speaker 1: for this diagnosis.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's wonderful to join you, Bill, And it is
Speaker 7: tragic to hear about Joe Biden anyone stage or cancer.
Speaker 7: That's a tough diagnosis at any age. And certainly, you know,
Speaker 7: just knowing, you know, Joe Biden didn't seem to be
Speaker 7: in great health as he was president, and frankly as
Speaker 7: he was in his waning days as president. And this
Speaker 7: is obviously tough news for even a guy that I
Speaker 7: didn't particularly care for. I certainly wouldn't want hi to
Speaker 7: stuff not like that.
Speaker 1: No, politics is one thing, health is another. And hope
Speaker 1: he lives a long and productive life and post presidency.
Speaker 1: In fact, I wish he never had become the president,
Speaker 1: but that's a different issue. But I wish him and
Speaker 1: his family well in the future. But nonetheless, there's a
Speaker 1: sense now that the Budget Committee is going to pass
Speaker 1: out and the legislation onto the Rules Committee, which is
Speaker 1: going to happen on Wednesday. I could ask you what
Speaker 1: took so long? There were four or five originally voted no,
Speaker 1: now that I understand, the vote's going to be yes.
Speaker 1: But the big thing is going to be the Rules
Speaker 1: Committee on Wednesday, and then the House will vote I
Speaker 1: guess later on in the month of May. Because you're
Speaker 1: looking looking forward to Memorial Day. Can you tell us
Speaker 1: you don't know yet how you're going to vote. I
Speaker 1: would assume because you have to see the final package.
Speaker 1: But one thing that's upset many real conservatives is borrowing
Speaker 1: another four trillion dollars. Moody's just downgraded on Friday. The
Speaker 1: US dead again after downgrading, and I think in twenty
Speaker 1: eleven it went down again. That's a bad sign. And
Speaker 1: the four trillion dollars of new money being borrowed, isn't.
Speaker 1: That's a tough pill for many to swallow, including Representative
Speaker 1: Roy in Texas. But nonetheless, do you have confidence that
Speaker 1: sometime later this month, the big beautiful bill is going
Speaker 1: to pass or not?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I mean, great questions. It's been top of mind for
Speaker 10: a long time.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 7: When I was home over Easter break, everyone was like, yeah, well,
Speaker 7: it's good to see you, but where's the bill?
Speaker 10: Yeah. People have been waiting for this thing.
Speaker 7: It's been promised because you put so much of the
Speaker 7: president's agenda into this one big bill. I will say Friday,
Speaker 7: I was thanking the four guys who voted no, because
Speaker 7: it really does need to get better. I mean, you
Speaker 7: wonder like, well, why would you guys need to raise
Speaker 7: the debt ceiling? Well, if you cut taxes and increase spending,
Speaker 7: well you're gonna have to raise the debt ceiling because
Speaker 7: it seems like really basic math, right, you got less
Speaker 7: revenue and you get more spending.
Speaker 10: Of course there's gonna be debt. And that's basically what
Speaker 10: the Big Bill did on Friday.
Speaker 7: When they were looking at it on Friday, it said, well,
Speaker 7: we're gonna cut taxes. We're gonna do that right away,
Speaker 7: and then we're gonna get around to cutting spending. Well, like,
Speaker 7: how far out are you gonna cut spending? Well, like,
Speaker 7: the future congresses are gonna cut spending. But see what
Speaker 7: we're gonna do is we're gonna spend a little more.
Speaker 7: And you're like, well, I mean it's better to promise
Speaker 7: that some future congress is gonna cut spending than not to.
Speaker 7: But frankly, we can't even guarantee who's going to be
Speaker 7: in a future congress. Let alone that they're going to
Speaker 7: follow through and deliver the actual cuts. What we can
Speaker 7: control is what we're voting on right now. And so
Speaker 7: you know, my understan is that there's been enough commitments
Speaker 7: made that it is going to wind up in a
Speaker 7: better place, you know, but by the time it goes
Speaker 7: to Rules Committee on Wednesday.
Speaker 10: And so my hope is it's something I can vote for.
Speaker 7: But if it's if who thinks that the President promised
Speaker 7: to deliver more spending?
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think the whole point of Doge is
Speaker 7: we're going to cut spending. So I think that's the
Speaker 7: question is if this isn't all the cuts, where are
Speaker 7: the cuts? And that's a question I think not just
Speaker 7: members of Congress one answered, our constituents one answered. And
Speaker 7: they're going to be mad at us if we vote
Speaker 7: for it, if they don't get good answers. They want
Speaker 7: less government.
Speaker 1: And if we had the same level of federal spending
Speaker 1: as in the year of twenty twenty, now, twenty twenty
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly the dark Ages. If we have the same
Speaker 1: federal spending as we had in twenty twenty, we'd have
Speaker 1: a balanced budget right now. But the explosion have a surplus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'd have a surplus. Explain that to the American people.
Speaker 7: Well, look, prior to COVID, you know, we were spending
Speaker 7: the year prior to COVID, we spend like four point
Speaker 7: six four point eight trillion dollars right Well, right now
Speaker 7: we have over five trillion in revenue. It wasn't like
Speaker 7: we had a small government back then. But what's happened
Speaker 7: is they've loaded not not just like the one time
Speaker 7: spending on COVID, but structurally just higher levels on everything
Speaker 7: that have increased. And you know, a lot of this
Speaker 7: came through with the you know Biden Plan. They put
Speaker 7: all these reforms in that grew spending and accelerated the
Speaker 7: growth rate, and all that government money going into the economy,
Speaker 7: it helped drive inflation. And when you spend more money
Speaker 7: than you have and you pour it into the economy,
Speaker 7: it causes inflation. And that is is a tax. You
Speaker 7: think about your value of your house. If you own
Speaker 7: a house, think of the value of your house. And
Speaker 7: if you don't own one, in your renting you can think,
Speaker 7: well my rent went up by this much. I know
Speaker 7: the value of the property I'm saying, and surely went
Speaker 7: up too. Well, think if Congress passed a tax of
Speaker 7: that kind of price, or your food when you go out,
Speaker 7: or you think five dollars foot longs are like twelve
Speaker 7: dollars right now. I think if we put a five
Speaker 7: dollars tax on foot longs that subway, people would be like,
Speaker 7: you guys, got to go. But that's what happens with inflation.
Speaker 7: You spend too much money, it's effectively a tax. It
Speaker 7: shows up somewhere.
Speaker 2: We're going to have.
Speaker 1: The only remedy for that is to spend less money. Well, well,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a numbers guy. Twenty twenty, we
Speaker 1: spent about four point seven trillion. Today we're bringing in
Speaker 1: a little over five trillion dollars. And I guess it's
Speaker 1: impossible to go back to twenty twenty spending levels or
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. You can't go back. The more money
Speaker 1: you spend, it's never cut. And I think I related
Speaker 1: this to you before, Congressman Warren Davidson, that I have
Speaker 1: a sense that the constituency groups around more government spending
Speaker 1: are so strong that it is difficult for anyone to
Speaker 1: not cut the rate of the increase, but actually to
Speaker 1: hold the budget to where it is, or God forbid
Speaker 1: cut spending. There's too many constituency groups ready to cry foul,
Speaker 1: and the media trumpet their cause that it can't be done.
Speaker 1: And I'm a little bit I want's a disappointed with
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, and it has only been I guess four months,
Speaker 1: but nonetheless he's kind of fading away. The one trillion dollars,
Speaker 1: the two trillion dollars in cuts over ten years seemingly
Speaker 1: is down to about one hundred and seventy five billion,
Speaker 1: which is fine. It's pennies on the dollar. It's better
Speaker 1: than nothing. But I don't see a significant cut to
Speaker 1: federal spending, not the rate of growth of federal spending,
Speaker 1: but an idea that, Okay, we spent this much money
Speaker 1: in the year twenty twenty one, and we have revenues
Speaker 1: today to equal that spending. Why can't you say, okay,
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six, we're going to
Speaker 1: bring it over five trillion dollars. That is the level
Speaker 1: of federal spending, which is similar to twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: or twenty twenty two. Why can't Congress do that?
Speaker 7: You know, this is exactly the thing that people don't
Speaker 7: understand because they would do this in their own household.
Speaker 7: I mean, if you think, like, would it be possible
Speaker 7: to live on five percent less, most people would say yes.
Speaker 7: Most people would say, well, it'd be tough, but I
Speaker 7: could do ten percent. But they could look at the
Speaker 7: government and say, well, probably needs to be shrunk by
Speaker 7: at least twenty percent. You know, probably at least twenty percent.
Speaker 7: And that's what I did a sort of social media
Speaker 7: somewhat unscientific poll, but hey, the people that follow Warren
Speaker 7: Davidson on X at Warren Davidson.
Speaker 10: They'll follow it out there and say, hey, here's what
Speaker 10: we think.
Speaker 7: And overwhelmingly people thought, well, the government should shrink by
Speaker 7: twenty percent. The next biggest block was ten percent, and
Speaker 7: the next blocks was plus five. Almost everyone knows it
Speaker 7: needs to shrink some but I guess there's people that,
Speaker 7: you know, everybody left the center wants more government. But
Speaker 7: if you look, the most aggressive plan that the House
Speaker 7: has proposed doesn't even cut spending by two percent. And
Speaker 7: the reality is this big bill that we're voting on
Speaker 7: supposedly this week, unless they improve it, doesn't actually cut spending.
Speaker 7: This Congress doesn't cut it at all. It actually grows
Speaker 7: spending this Congress until well until twenty twenty nine, and
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty nine, and it starts to go down,
Speaker 7: which is after Trump's president. It's not even in this Congress,
Speaker 7: it's not even in this presidency. It's out in some
Speaker 7: future congress and future presidency. So again, those are hollow promises.
Speaker 7: You know, I hope future congresses, you know, you do that.
Speaker 7: But the way to do that is you set the
Speaker 7: example and we spend less money and you hope it
Speaker 7: catches on in future congresses. Go oh, you know, those
Speaker 7: guys campaigned on less spending and then they went and
Speaker 7: did it, and people liked it, so they elected them.
Speaker 7: I fear what's going to happen is we campaigned on
Speaker 7: less spending, we launched those everybody finds out you've been
Speaker 7: spending my money on what, and then you don't do it,
Speaker 7: and they're going to be why would I vote for you, clowns.
Speaker 7: You're not doing any of this stuff, even like work requirements.
Speaker 7: You know, that was bipartisan back when Bill Clinton was president.
Speaker 7: Barack Obama and crew turned it off in O eight
Speaker 7: oh nine. We haven't been able to turn it back on.
Speaker 7: And look everybody I know would help a friend in need,
Speaker 7: but you wouldn't say if you were open a friend
Speaker 7: of kneed out right now that well, look, as long
Speaker 7: as you get a job by twenty twenty nine, I'm
Speaker 7: going to keep helping you. No one's that generous, right,
Speaker 7: you'd be like, hey man, you're going to get a job, right,
Speaker 7: I mean, I'll help you for a little bit. But
Speaker 7: if you're an able bodied adult, you don't have depend
Speaker 7: on kids at home. People are going to expect you
Speaker 7: to work, and they should. And that kind of an
Speaker 7: expectation doesn't affect working poor, it doesn't affect people with
Speaker 7: disabilities or anything else. We're not talking about taking stuff
Speaker 7: away from you know, kids on you know, food stamps.
Speaker 7: We're talking about a able bodied adults with no kids
Speaker 7: at home. And they don't want to turn that on
Speaker 7: until twenty twenty nine?
Speaker 10: Are you kidding me? And they got to fix that
Speaker 10: in the bill.
Speaker 1: Well what chance do we have. I mean, we did
Speaker 1: this and all the dough stuff with the chainsaws etcent.
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, we're going to have a five hundred
Speaker 1: billion to a one trillion dollar cut. I watched the
Speaker 1: GAO in the Congress say every year there's between three
Speaker 1: hundred and five hundred billion dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse.
Speaker 1: We know it's there, we can't find it. And now
Speaker 1: we have Donald Trump saying the same thing as conservatives
Speaker 1: like you and the Congress, but we can't do it.
Speaker 1: In fact, you're gonna get no votes in the Senate
Speaker 1: for any of this. Democrats are like a pack. They're
Speaker 1: like a pack of dogs. They followed the leader. Cats
Speaker 1: tend to roam everywhere. That's what's happening. And so if
Speaker 1: we don't do it now with this president and this Congress,
Speaker 1: when will it ever happen?
Speaker 7: Well, supposedly in twenty twenty nine, twenty miles gonna take
Speaker 7: I don't believe that that's the magic according to the bill,
Speaker 7: And you're right to be skeptical.
Speaker 10: And that's why I say, you know, kudos.
Speaker 7: Look, how rare is it for the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 7: to say, well, the real problem is the moderate it's
Speaker 7: not the conservatives, right, I mean, Wall Street Journal is
Speaker 7: usually ready to throw conservatives under the bus in a heartbeat.
Speaker 7: But even the Wall Street journals like, well, really the
Speaker 7: issues the moderates. They had a good op ed out
Speaker 7: over the weekend through it out there, and I was
Speaker 7: kind of surprised because usually the Wall Street.
Speaker 10: Journal doesn't run interference for concertos.
Speaker 7: No, they're ready to say, you know, let's find common
Speaker 7: ground if you're in the center, and that's really where
Speaker 7: the Wall Street it is, you know.
Speaker 10: But I think they're looking at it going, yeah, these
Speaker 10: are reasonable, these are reasonable cuts that we're talking about here.
Speaker 10: We're not talking about.
Speaker 7: Yeah in draconian slash, you hack saw chainsaw to the government.
Speaker 1: They're minor tweaks and it can't And you're telling me
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some minor tweaks and later this week
Speaker 1: or next week it's going to be passed. It'll go
Speaker 1: to the Senate. God knows what will happen there. I
Speaker 1: kind of began losing faith a few weeks ago when
Speaker 1: they're reading stories about Elon Musk. I kind of watch
Speaker 1: all of his devotees on with Jesse Waters, et cetera
Speaker 1: doing a great job. But when rubber hits the road,
Speaker 1: why can't we spend as much federally as we spent
Speaker 1: in the year twenty twenty one. Why can't we say
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one is the benchmark, and if we did
Speaker 1: that then the tax revenues generated would equal the budget.
Speaker 1: We have a balanced budget immediately. Why can't we do that?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that would be like a ten percent cut.
Speaker 7: If you think about it, people think that's very re
Speaker 7: and I'm looking at it going. Man, I thought a
Speaker 7: two percent cut wasn't very ambitious, but we're talking about
Speaker 7: not even a cut.
Speaker 10: It's just a promise of future cuts.
Speaker 7: And you know, I think really to get robust support,
Speaker 7: not just from members of the House, members.
Speaker 10: Of the Senate, but the public, I think you got
Speaker 10: to actually cut spending, you know, I.
Speaker 1: Think that's where we need to go.
Speaker 10: The bill is not going to be The bill is
Speaker 10: not going to be beautiful.
Speaker 7: It might be okay, but it's certainly going to beautiful
Speaker 7: if we don't cut spending.
Speaker 1: Does the bill eliminate payroll income taxes on overtime, social
Speaker 1: security and tips? Don't we know yet? Depending on what
Speaker 1: happens in the Senate. What about social tips?
Speaker 7: Well, the final will be you know, the Senate bill
Speaker 7: has to ultimately match the House. We have to agree
Speaker 7: before we can get it to the President's desk. But
Speaker 7: the current House bill does eliminate taxes on tips. It
Speaker 7: eliminates tax on overtime, and it gives a four thousand
Speaker 7: dollars credit for Social Security eligible people. And the reason
Speaker 7: it doesn't completely eliminate acts on Social Security there's almost
Speaker 7: nobody that gets more than you know, that much money
Speaker 7: in Social Security to where the four thousand dollar credit
Speaker 7: wouldn't cover the Social Security taxes.
Speaker 10: And that's the goal.
Speaker 7: But there's a lot of people that are on Social
Speaker 7: Security that have income from other source, like they have
Speaker 7: mental properties or some investments. And then pointed out there
Speaker 7: or talk show host or congressman or the yeah, they're
Speaker 7: running running a great arc.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so the four thousand dollars, I think the
Speaker 1: average Social Security checks about eighteen hundred, that's about twenty
Speaker 1: two to twenty two thousand. So the tax on that's
Speaker 1: about four thousand. And I get that. I get that. Well,
Speaker 1: we got to run Congressman. I'm disappointed, of course, I'm
Speaker 1: waiting to be disappointed. I didn't think the system would
Speaker 1: allow Trump to do what he wants to do, and
Speaker 1: the system won't allow Warren Davidson to do what you
Speaker 1: would want to do. The system eats people up in
Speaker 1: Washington and spits him out. And I think this is
Speaker 1: one more occasion that's going on. Am I wrong?
Speaker 7: Well, stay the course, we haven't lost it. Yeah, we're
Speaker 7: fighting to save this thing. We got to get it
Speaker 7: across the finish line and the you know, it's worth
Speaker 7: the fight. I mean, this is a big effort. But
Speaker 7: in the fate of the country's in balance here, we
Speaker 7: got to save the country.
Speaker 1: We can't do it. We can't have thirty seven honest
Speaker 1: way to fifty trillion dollars and national debt. We can't survive.
Speaker 1: And the media doesn't report on that fact. They're very
Speaker 1: myopic looking at next week and grandmother being pitched off
Speaker 1: a cliff or or some pregnant woman not getting food stamps.
Speaker 1: The big issue is we owe thirty seven trillion dollars.
Speaker 1: Had a Moody's downgrade, which means borrowing money's gonna get
Speaker 1: more expensive. We're gonna borrow again this year. What two
Speaker 1: trillion dollars?
Speaker 4: Is that about?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Roughly that's about right, yep.
Speaker 1: And next year we're gonna borrow two trillion.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And here's the other one that people don't talk about.
Speaker 7: That's new borrowing. The reality is you have maturity, so
Speaker 7: we're going to refinance around eight trillion dollars got a
Speaker 7: higher rate when old debt. Yeah, so old debt that
Speaker 7: we were financing back with interest rates were like, you know,
Speaker 7: half a percent, one percent. We're refinancing at you know,
Speaker 7: four and a half percent, and so it's getting more
Speaker 7: extensive fast.
Speaker 1: Or Warren Davidson once again, Congressman, thanks for coming on
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. I don't know what's going to
Speaker 1: happen later this month is going to be wild. I
Speaker 1: suspect strongly that the best intentions will be chewed up
Speaker 1: by the Washington establishment. Congressman Warren Davidson, soldier and Congressman,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Warren. Yeah,
Speaker 1: always it honor. God bless you and your listeners. God
Speaker 1: bless America. Let's continue with more. The Road to Hell
Speaker 1: is paid with great intentions. Bill Cunningham with you every
Speaker 1: Sunday night. All right, Billy Cunningham, the great American. You
Speaker 1: just heard her from Congressman Warren Davidson. This thing's going
Speaker 1: to get out of the Budget Committee tonight, and then
Speaker 1: on Wednesday it's going to go to the Rules Committee,
Speaker 1: and then later on in the House is going to
Speaker 1: be chopped up some more. I have a simple question,
Speaker 1: if we can't actually cut federal spending now, when will
Speaker 1: it ever get cut with this president and this Congress.
Speaker 1: And the answer is probably not. I said to you
Speaker 1: two or three weeks ago, I had a sense that
Speaker 1: the Washington system would eat up and spit out Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and the best intended Republicans. And it's happening as
Speaker 1: we speak tonight. It's going to happen between now Memorial Days.
Speaker 1: Just some rough numbers to pay attention to. In twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty, we had federal spending of about
Speaker 1: four point seven trillion dollars, and this year we have
Speaker 1: federal revenues of five trillion. We'd have a three hundred
Speaker 1: billion dollar surplus if we go back to twenty twenty levels.
Speaker 1: In fact, if we take the year twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: go back to twenty twenty one, we spend about four
Speaker 1: point nine trillion, and this year we're taking in five
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. So if we can't balance the budget with
Speaker 1: those numbers, now, when will we Every time the media
Speaker 1: reports on it, it's a slash, it's a cut. There's
Speaker 1: never a cut there's only a slight decrease of the increase.
Speaker 1: And right now Moodies is cut down the debt rating
Speaker 1: again in this country, which means we're going to pay
Speaker 1: more and more and more. We're becoming a deadbeat nation.
Speaker 1: This year, we're going to borrow about two trillion, next
Speaker 1: year about two trillion year, have to that about two trillion.
Speaker 1: Maybe in twenty twenty nine, it may level off to
Speaker 1: one trillion dollars, which means we're a debtor nation, completely
Speaker 1: out of business. And if it can't be done now,
Speaker 1: guess what it cannot be done. Stay tuned for more
Speaker 1: coming up next to this, doctor Stanley Goldfarb on the
Speaker 1: history of the world. Now that's a topic. Bill Cunningham
Speaker 1: with you every Sunday. We try to understand what's happening
Speaker 1: in our major elite institutions. You would like to think,
Speaker 1: whether it's UCLA or Columbia or Ohio State, for example,
Speaker 1: that the best and the brightest, the best intentions that
Speaker 1: the leaders have thought, so to speak, in America, they
Speaker 1: churn out the leaders in ten twenty thirty years from now.
Speaker 1: I have the honor going to the University of Toledo
Speaker 1: Law School. Got a great education there. I could not
Speaker 1: be admitted to UCLA or Harvard or Yale if I
Speaker 1: tried to. I didn't even try because I wasn't elite
Speaker 1: in the minds of some. And so we look forward
Speaker 1: to the big schools to churn out the best doctors,
Speaker 1: the best architects, the best lawyers, the best business leaders,
Speaker 1: and hopefully they don't practice race discrimination as the Democrats
Speaker 1: did for most of their history. They have in the South,
Speaker 1: especially between about sixteen nineteen and eighteen sixty five, did
Speaker 1: everything in their power to practice racial discrimination against black folks.
Speaker 1: And that was the Democratic Party. The ku Klux Klan
Speaker 1: was the Democratic Party hanging black men with Democratic Party
Speaker 1: and destruction of many of our urban schools today or
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party doing that. But I note with interest
Speaker 1: a column by doctor Stanley Goldfarb, who's the medical watchdog
Speaker 1: of donoharm dot org has filed a class action lawsuit
Speaker 1: against the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA for
Speaker 1: discriminating based upon race and doctor gold far but welcome
Speaker 1: to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, I
Speaker 1: know the name. Tell the American people who is David Geffen.
Speaker 1: I guess gave a lot of money to have the
Speaker 1: school named after him, a school of medicine producing doctors.
Speaker 1: But who is David Geffen?
Speaker 4: Well, it's good to be with you, Bill.
Speaker 11: He's a major Hollywood mogul producer. I don't know all
Speaker 11: of his ins and outs of all that he owns,
Speaker 11: but he's been a major figure in the American movie
Speaker 11: making industry for many years now.
Speaker 1: Lots of money. And give me the essence of your
Speaker 1: lawsuit against the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Speaker 1: What is the essence of it.
Speaker 11: Well, like a lot of the elite institutions that you mentioned,
Speaker 11: there's a rottenness at their core. And in this case
Speaker 11: of UCLA Medical School, what's really rotten has been their
Speaker 11: admission policies for medical students for the last several years.
Speaker 11: And this is probably going on in many medical schools
Speaker 11: around the country. In matter of fact, we have some
Speaker 11: evidence that it is. But this has been a particularly
Speaker 11: egregious place because they're director of admissions at Doctor Lucerno,
Speaker 11: who's a physician and an associate dean for admissions, has
Speaker 11: been very outspoken in her desire to have a racially
Speaker 11: based admissions process and Our lawsuit involves students who were
Speaker 11: denied admission to UCLA who had excellent, in fact superb
Speaker 11: academic credentials, much better than minority students that were accepted,
Speaker 11: and yet they were rejected over and over again from
Speaker 11: the school.
Speaker 4: And again.
Speaker 11: Doctor Rosano has been very public in her statements, and
Speaker 11: we have whistleblowers from the UCLA Medical School who are
Speaker 11: willing to testify about things she has said and things
Speaker 11: she has done, and policies that the school has adopted
Speaker 11: that favors individuals based on their skin color rather than
Speaker 11: their academic potential and performance.
Speaker 1: You know, doctor go Goldfarbe. That's been declared illegal for
Speaker 1: a very long time, including Title the Civil Rights Act
Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty four, the Civil Rights Act of eighteen
Speaker 1: sixty six, which was codified largely in the fourteenth Amendment,
Speaker 1: and the California Civil Rights It is well known you
Speaker 1: can't pick someone or give somebody favor based upon skin color.
Speaker 1: That is racial discrimination. And I would think if you
Speaker 1: put this dean in a deposition, which you're likely to
Speaker 1: do soon, she's going to say, yes, we did it,
Speaker 1: but we have good intentions. In other words, we want
Speaker 1: to have diversity diversity is our strength. Actually, I think
Speaker 1: unity is our strength. So what are the difficulties when
Speaker 1: you pick individuals for medical school based upon skin color
Speaker 1: and not merit. How does that manifest itself to patience.
Speaker 4: Well, ultimately, it really means.
Speaker 11: That you have less qualified individuals delivering healthcare. And we
Speaker 11: have lot of evidence now from the performance of minority
Speaker 11: students in medical school and in their training programs that
Speaker 11: show that they're performing much less well. And it's pretty
Speaker 11: obvious that if you perform less well as a student
Speaker 11: and less well as an intern and resident where you're
Speaker 11: actually performing all the functions of a physician, that you're
Speaker 11: going to perform less well for the rest of your career.
Speaker 11: And in fact, we have evidence for that from some
Speaker 11: of the exam performance that has been noted on when
Speaker 11: people take their board certification exams, So we have evidence
Speaker 11: that the performance is less good. And the other great
Speaker 11: problem here is a problem where the medical the minority
Speaker 11: medical students who are capable and are qualified are tarred
Speaker 11: by this terrible racialism because it seemed that they were
Speaker 11: given this opportunity not because of their capabilities, but because
Speaker 11: of their skin color. So it works, it works harm
Speaker 11: for lots of people. It harms patients potentially, and it
Speaker 11: harms those black students who deserve to be physicians and
Speaker 11: who deserve to have the honor that they've achieved when
Speaker 11: they've been successful in their careers, and yet they're diminished
Speaker 11: by this kind of program.
Speaker 1: And doctor I hear the argument, well, you need doctors
Speaker 1: or lawyers, or politicians or teachers that look like their
Speaker 1: patients or their students or their clients. That the greater
Speaker 1: good is to choose based upon race, So that if
Speaker 1: you walk into a doctor's office and there's a black
Speaker 1: female face, or you walk into a lawyer's office and
Speaker 1: there is a gay rights lawyer, you walk into your
Speaker 1: your classroom and you have a teacher that looks like you,
Speaker 1: there are positive societal events for that that needs to
Speaker 1: be imposed. How would you react to that argument from
Speaker 1: the radical left.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and that is the typical argument that's used to
Speaker 11: justify this kind of behavior, an argument for reparations. The
Speaker 11: truth is that there is a great deal of evidence
Speaker 11: that that's simply not the case. There are over sixty
Speaker 11: medical studies and they've been evaluated through systematic reviews, which
Speaker 11: is a very rigorous process.
Speaker 10: Published in peer review medical journals.
Speaker 11: Five systematic reviews have been published in peer review medical
Speaker 11: journals to show that when you look at questions of
Speaker 11: how well do doctors communicate with their patients, how satisfied
Speaker 11: are the patients with the care they're getting, one are
Speaker 11: the medical outcomes of these.
Speaker 10: Kinds of fear.
Speaker 11: There's no evidence that having a doctor that's books like
Speaker 11: you is going to provide better care than the best.
Speaker 11: And despite this, studies are cherry picked. You know, an
Speaker 11: occasional study will show will claim that there's a benefit,
Speaker 11: but then there are five other studies, for example, that
Speaker 11: will show that there's no such benefit. So when you
Speaker 11: look at the totality of the literature, there's just no
Speaker 11: evidence that that's true. And you know it's not true
Speaker 11: vis have the teachers. It's not true in any sphere
Speaker 11: where it's been proposed. It's just a myth that's out
Speaker 11: there and it's used to justify this kind of racialism
Speaker 11: that's gone on in medical school admissions.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's true across the board, right, and
Speaker 1: it's true for lawyers, doctors, architects. Is completely true. It's
Speaker 1: inculcated in the groundwater.
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely true, And you know the point you made
Speaker 11: about we've had laws that have prevented this kind of
Speaker 11: racialization of medical school admissions. You know the Supreme Court
Speaker 11: case the Students for Fair Admissions, by the way, are
Speaker 11: co binktives in our case with us.
Speaker 10: With our members.
Speaker 11: That there cannot be any such destination in our education
Speaker 11: at all. This was one sort of exception that was
Speaker 11: out there for several years, but that's been completely eliminated now.
Speaker 11: So what is illegal? It defies the Supreme Court rulings,
Speaker 11: and the time has come for it to stop. And
Speaker 11: time has come for us to have the color blind
Speaker 11: society that was envisioned by Martin Luther King Junior, and
Speaker 11: that represents the American ideal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I get on a Delta, if I get
Speaker 1: on a Delta airplane, I don't care if the crew
Speaker 1: is black, white, Asian, I don't care if they're straight
Speaker 1: or gay. Just get me to where I'm going on time.
Speaker 1: And it's kind of a situation where I have a
Speaker 1: sense because of this US Supreme Court because though hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll follow the law, I can recall the comments of
Speaker 1: a Supreme Court justice about thirty thirty five years ago,
Speaker 1: Santre Day O'Connor, who kind of winked, nod, nod, and said, look,
Speaker 1: we're going to have to have some okay, benign racial
Speaker 1: discrimination for the next twenty years in order to spend
Speaker 1: more money on the public schools, more mamy, more money
Speaker 1: on public education. We've got to spend more money on
Speaker 1: Section eight. We got to spend a lot of money,
Speaker 1: and we spent literally trillions of dollars twenty to thirty
Speaker 1: years in order to make sure that a kid you're
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, I assume, but La County School about
Speaker 1: the Sandmount money is spent there is in a private school.
Speaker 1: I live in Cincinnati, And in fact, the public schools
Speaker 1: spend more per student than the so called Catholic private
Speaker 1: schools with less results. And so the argument was we
Speaker 1: have to violate the law for about twenty years and
Speaker 1: after that, which would be like the nineteen nineties or
Speaker 1: two thousand, which is a quarter of a century ago,
Speaker 1: were that okay, okay, everyone's up. We're going to treat
Speaker 1: people not based upon the color of their skin, but
Speaker 1: rather that their merit to get in. And this has
Speaker 1: not stopped, especially especially in urban areas. It's not stopped.
Speaker 1: And so hopefully it'll stop this time.
Speaker 11: Well, you know, and the thing about medical school missions
Speaker 11: is that any qualified black student has been preferentially admitted
Speaker 11: for many, many years, which okay, if they're qualified, they're qualified,
Speaker 11: and that's fine. If they're qualified as much as an
Speaker 11: Asian student that's being denied admission. But you know the
Speaker 11: problem with medical schools is, unlike undergraduate schools, where you
Speaker 11: could always go to another school if you don't get
Speaker 11: excepted by one, there's always another one. That's not true.
Speaker 10: In medical schools.
Speaker 11: There are fifty five thousand applicants for twenty two thousand spaces,
Speaker 11: and if a student is denied admissions, then some other student,
Speaker 11: who in this case is better qualified, is denied that admission.
Speaker 11: And that's really a major problem. You cannot have fairness
Speaker 11: in this kind of system. And again that's very un
Speaker 11: American to have such an unshared situation going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know those numbers. I know, in the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio we have seven or eight law schools,
Speaker 1: and of course, if you're bright and intelligent, whatever, you
Speaker 1: might go to Case Western, you might go to Ohio State.
Speaker 1: But there's always Ohio Northern, there's always university of Toledo
Speaker 1: and in California, though, I would assume there's a few
Speaker 1: medical schools, and you want the best in the brightest
Speaker 1: because you're not dealing with not to writing a complaint
Speaker 1: or a lawsuit, or maybe not writing a will properly,
Speaker 1: we're talking about someone's life, that is. And if you
Speaker 1: would ask African Americans, do you want the best doctor
Speaker 1: to treat you for your cancer? I don't think the
Speaker 1: typical African American patient would say, you know what I
Speaker 1: wanted an affirmative action doctor. The patients themselves don't say that.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 11: In fact, we've asked that question, and there you're exactly right.
Speaker 11: Black patients want the best doctor. That's what they want,
Speaker 11: and it demeans them to suggest that they are so
Speaker 11: racially biased that they can only deal with a black doctor.
Speaker 4: It's just not true.
Speaker 11: It doesn't reflect the Black community, and it certainly doesn't
Speaker 11: reflect what's best for the health of the American people.
Speaker 1: Lastly, you have in your lawsuit. April twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: a whistleblower said that you see LA circulated a memo
Speaker 1: requiring admissions committee members to consider race when picking students
Speaker 1: to serve as admissions officers, and then to go through
Speaker 1: the medical school process. I think it takes three, four,
Speaker 1: five six years. Are the principles of racism and shall
Speaker 1: we say diversity taught throughout the class work doesn't end
Speaker 1: at the admission and the next four years in medical
Speaker 1: school that race never comes up, that you have no
Speaker 1: benefit or costs for someone being black. Is this diversity
Speaker 1: DEI taught throughout medical school?
Speaker 11: Oh? Absolutely, And it's integrated into all courses. Even when
Speaker 11: students go on a surgical rotation, they'll have a lecture
Speaker 11: about diversity and about racism and surgery and it's all nonsense.
Speaker 11: And the reality is there are important health disparities that
Speaker 11: the black population suffers, but the idea that it's because
Speaker 11: their patients are being treated in a biased fashion by
Speaker 11: physicians is just simply wrong. There are other genetic, behavioral,
Speaker 11: all sorts of reasons that have to do with why
Speaker 11: there's discrepancies in health outcomes. The real problem and not
Speaker 11: to create this this myth that the problem is biased
Speaker 11: on the part of physicians and that patients need doctors
Speaker 11: that look like them in order to get rid of
Speaker 11: this bias. That's this line that's been perpetuated for several
Speaker 11: years now, and it's just wrong and it's just counterproductive,
Speaker 11: totally counterproductive because it doesn't get at the root of
Speaker 11: the issue. The root of the issue is that black
Speaker 11: patients need to have better trust in the healthcare system
Speaker 11: and need to identify their symptoms earlier and need to
Speaker 11: get health access earlier. We know, for example, that the
Speaker 11: high maternal mortality that black women suffer in large part
Speaker 11: is due because there's a tremendous gap between they're getting
Speaker 11: first trimester prenatal care in order to identify high pertension
Speaker 11: and other problems that can be controlled early on in
Speaker 11: pregnancy and prevent problems later on, and these opportunities are available.
Speaker 11: There are laws that provide the funding for black women
Speaker 11: if they're poor to be able to get this care.
Speaker 11: They need to get the care. Then it needs to
Speaker 11: be an educational process that goes on in the black
Speaker 11: community that would help mitigate this problem. It's not due
Speaker 11: to the fact that obstetrics and gynecology doctors are biased
Speaker 11: against Black women.
Speaker 1: Well, I would think DEI principles apply as you say,
Speaker 1: throughout medical school and if, as some conservative a student
Speaker 1: doesn't buy into the idea, I'm not going to acknowledge DEI,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to acknowledge racism, that student would have
Speaker 1: difficulties getting residency, getting grades, things to that character. And well,
Speaker 1: hopefully is that the case, doctor, Well, yeah.
Speaker 11: You know, it's interesting that the agency that credit that
Speaker 11: credits residency programs now just yesterday announced that they were
Speaker 11: going to eliminate their diversity requirements for residency programs. And
Speaker 11: in the past what you said is absolutely the case
Speaker 11: that there are students that were denied opportunities and specialties
Speaker 11: like neurosurgery or radiology because of their skin color. And
Speaker 11: this is going on to at the medical establishment, and
Speaker 11: that time has come when it must stop.
Speaker 1: Doctor Stanley Goldfarbe, go online, Do No Harm dot org,
Speaker 1: Medical director. Let's begin, and let's go back to the
Speaker 1: ideas that race should not play a factor in these admissions.
Speaker 1: Rather it should be merit and everyone should agree with that,
Speaker 1: Doctor Stanley Goldfarb from UCLA, thanks for coming on the
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham Show, and doctor you're a great American. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much. Thanks so much, God bless you. Let's
Speaker 1: continue with more and there it is, race should play
Speaker 1: no part. Merit should trump race whenever it's available and
Speaker 1: that's the law. How about enforcing the law? What a
Speaker 1: novel concept. No one is above the law. I thought.
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, the Great American live with you every Sunday night.
Speaker 1: All right, Billy Cunningham, the Great American, thanks for listening
Speaker 1: at this Sunday night. And once again I want to
Speaker 1: offer nothing but the best for Joe Biden's health going forward.
Speaker 1: It's shocking to me that an next president with the
Speaker 1: best medical care in the world could develop stage four
Speaker 1: p stay cancer and a score of one out of
Speaker 1: ten on the gleas and scale of nine. That's metastasized
Speaker 1: without knowledge before I guess Friday, and we'll find out
Speaker 1: more about this. It has hoped that when one has
Speaker 1: PSA's done regularly at least once a year, and also
Speaker 1: has digital rectal exams called drees, it's a pretty good
Speaker 1: insurance policy against getting staged four prostate cancer. But maybe not.
Speaker 1: We wish Joe Biden and his family nothing but the
Speaker 1: best they as they grapple with cancer. And secondly, having
Speaker 1: on Congressman Warren Davidson is pretty obvious coming out of
Speaker 1: the Budget Committee will be certain promises made about keeping
Speaker 1: federal spending where it is I would hate to say
Speaker 1: cut federal spending. If keeping the same budget where it
Speaker 1: is today is cutting federal spending, then I don't understand
Speaker 1: cutting federal spending because cutting federal spending means spending less money.
Speaker 1: And I fear that in six months or so, when
Speaker 1: you and I are together again, as we're to get
Speaker 1: together every Sunday night, I'm gonna remind you that way
Speaker 1: back in May, I said that despite all the words
Speaker 1: and the chainsaws, there's no significant cut whatsoever in federal
Speaker 1: spending because the system will not allow it. And if
Speaker 1: the system run by Donald Trump and these Republicans like
Speaker 1: Fune and Johnson cannot get it done, then guess what
Speaker 1: it'll never get done. If we've returned the federal government
Speaker 1: budget to spending in the year twenty twenty one, four
Speaker 1: years ago, we have a balanced budget right now. Why
Speaker 1: can't that happen? Too many well funded power groups interest
Speaker 1: groups decide that anything other than an increase in federal
Speaker 1: spending is a cut to keep federal spending where it
Speaker 1: is and not a cut. We'll see what happens on
Speaker 1: Wednesday and the Rules Committee, but that's the way it's
Speaker 1: going to be. Once again. Thanks for listening tonight especially.
Speaker 1: You also want to thank Jeff crue Air of New
Speaker 1: Orleans for setting the record straight on the Nobel Peace
Speaker 1: prices should be awarded, of course, to Donald Trump, Bill Cut,
Speaker 1: I am with you every Sunday night.
