WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:09.599 Billy Cunningham, the great American. Scott Powell, one of my 2 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:11.759 frequent guests, makes so much sense. I like to get 3 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.000 them all as much as I can. And of course 4 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.760 his views are expressed on townhall dot com. Tariffs, tariffs 5 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.480 and more tariffs. The headline of his story protesters are 6 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.920 wrong and whether it's doge and tariffs and law and 7 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.960 orders should be applauded. And Scott Powell, welcome again to 8 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.879 the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, you begin 9 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.560 your calling by talking about the honeymoon period. Every president 10 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.679 has one hundred day honeymoon period lasting until around around 11 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.679 April fifteenth. Has Donald Trump been given a honeymoon by 12 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.640 the mainstream media, by the Democratic Party, by those in 13 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:46.200 control of the major newspapers. 14 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:47.640 What happened to the honeymoon? 15 00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.719 Hell no, let's get right. 16 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:53.840 To the fight. No, there's no. 17 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.200 Honeymoon honeymoon as they said, you know, going back to 18 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.600 you know, his first election. You know, the knives were 19 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:05.840 already being drawn even before inauguration in twenty seventeen. You know, 20 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.959 we had the Russia Russian hoax issue. But this time 21 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.079 the guns are drawn. I mean, he's had assassination attempts 22 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.599 on his life before the election on the twenty twenty 23 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:16.480 four election. 24 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:18.439 So, honeymoon, are you kidding? 25 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:24.040 They want And now this is a really sad moment 26 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.280 in American history where one of the major parties, that's 27 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:28.280 the Democrat Party. 28 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.959 It is still it's not as it's not the. 29 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.359 Party it was, but it's still the second major party 30 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:36.000 in America. 31 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:38.680 Polls show that fifty five. 32 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:43.000 Percent of Democrats would support the elimination of Donald Trump, 33 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.280 the killing, the assassination of Donald Trump. That is a 34 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.760 very very sad commentary on the current state of America. 35 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.480 Yeah, fifty five percent won him killed. And then there's 36 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:57.359 forty eight percent they say they want Elon Musk killed, 37 00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.920 they want him murdered, they want a bullet in his head. 38 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.879 And that's that's not some fringe element. That's not the 39 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.079 John Birch Society or the Communist Party. These are These 40 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.159 are Democrats, registered Democrats who say it would be justified 41 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.960 for someone to kill the president of the United States. 42 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.080 And it isn't that like a big If I'm the 43 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.000 CBS Evening News, they don't cover these, I would say, 44 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.680 look at this, that fifty five percent of the of 45 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:26.240 the Democrats when Donald Trump eliminated? 46 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:28.719 What does that mean? Eliminated? That means shot. 47 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.199 That's the Democratic Party, And I don't know how we 48 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.000 how we get over it? And then how do you 49 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.759 work with someone that you want to kill? And I 50 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.240 watched Juck Schumer walk around the Senate being asked questions 51 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.719 Elon Musk about the violence committed against against Tesla and 52 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.240 and he he can't answer the question because indirectly he's 53 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.280 the one that called for the for the I won't 54 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.639 say the killing, but maybe the assassination of two US 55 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.599 Supreme Court justices in front of the building. Then a 56 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.639 few weeks later, an assassin picked up that idea, traveled 57 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.120 to Brett Kavanaugh's home to try to kill him. And 58 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.840 it just it just was found guilty the assassin. And 59 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.560 I'm living in this world, thinking, Scott Poll, this cannot 60 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.599 continue like this. Someone's got to reform their behavior before 61 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.800 it's too late. In fact, Trump's been shot, but nonetheless 62 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:20.759 Democrats won him eliminated. 63 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.120 What does eliminated mean? 64 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.479 What means just as you described it, It means the 65 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:31.199 the the killing, the assassinations of a human being. 66 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.680 First and foremost, you know, we we. 67 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.960 America was celebrated as as a country that would be different, 68 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.840 as a country that would have a system of transition 69 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.080 of government that would be done peacefully and respectfully, and 70 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.520 that you know that the people would be sovereign. The 71 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.840 people would choose their who would govern, and then those 72 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.759 who would those who would govern, would be allowed to govern. 73 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.599 And if they did a good job and life improved 74 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.240 in a mat Erica, chances are they would re elect 75 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.520 those people. That's how the system is supposed to work. 76 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.120 It's not supposed to work that we have an election 77 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.639 and then we sabotage the government, because then we have 78 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.360 no mechanism for understanding what works and what doesn't work. 79 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.759 It's thuggery. Thuggery works. That's always worked in the Third World. 80 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:22.959 Do we want the United States to become a third 81 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:23.639 World country? 82 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:24.959 Well, we're well on our way. 83 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:26.759 I look at this. 84 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.680 I look at Brian Thompson, his CEO of United Healthcare 85 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:36.399 last Deceummer, being hunted down by Luigi Maggione and being 86 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.680 there's over a million dollars. I guess mainly Democrats have 87 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.040 contributed to his defense fund. The majority of Democrats believe 88 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.600 that the murder of a father and a husband in 89 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.560 cold blood on the streets of New York City is 90 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.480 justified because he works. And the CEO of United Healthcare 91 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.800 that is justified too. And I'm thinking, if I'm a 92 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.519 CEO of a co company, the cost of protecting me, 93 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:03.439 it's not worth it. 94 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.120 What does this say about America? 95 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.040 When the opposition party, the loyal Opposition, not only wants 96 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.079 to eliminate the president and Elon Musk, they also support 97 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.639 the assassination for political purposes of Brian Thompson. 98 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:17.600 What does that say? 99 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.399 Well, it's very it's really sad. 100 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:26.120 You know, politics is really downstream of the culture, and 101 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:32.360 culture is downstream of the spiritual orientation of the country. 102 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.480 And you know, before we could win the War of 103 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.879 Independence from Great Britain, we had to have a spiritual revival. 104 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.399 That was the Great Awakening. Before the Civil War we 105 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:46.279 had a second Great Awakening. We need a spiritual revival 106 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.439 in this country because our culture has gone to hell 107 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.800 and now our political system has gone to hell. Well, 108 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.399 it would be helpful we the restoration of good things, right, 109 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.839 you know, what do you look for in culture? In 110 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.639 a cultural renaissance, you'd expect to see a flourishing of 111 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:07.319 things that are beautiful things that are edifying. You'd expect 112 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:12.519 to hear more great music where we right now. Music 113 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:19.600 is dark. Art really is darker, and there seems to 114 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.680 be no course correction. The course correction will come when 115 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.639 American people recognize that when you drive God out of 116 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.040 your culture, it creates a vacuum that gets filled with 117 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.279 evil spiritual influence. 118 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.959 It would be helpful we see it in spades. 119 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.920 It'd be very helpful if the leaders of the Liberal 120 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.519 Democratic Party, from the Obamas to the Clintons to the 121 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.759 Nancy Pelosis and the Chuck Schumers stand up is one 122 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.240 and saying political violence against those who we disagree with 123 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.120 must stop immediately, instead of saying that they implicitly allow 124 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.480 it and encourage it. And I look at some of 125 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.199 the funding of these radical groups, these hands off groups 126 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.319 who just pop up in a thousand cities all over America, 127 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.959 and your column talks about this. How are these so 128 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.399 called hands off groups, how are they funded? How does 129 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.920 it happen? First of all, my question is this, I 130 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.240 would like to think political leadership would stand up and 131 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.360 say we can't have a country and which the majority 132 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.439 of my party wants the opposition leader to be eliminated 133 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:24.720 we can't do that. 134 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:26.240 But they won't do that. 135 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.240 Why won't the leader of the Democrats say this is wrong, 136 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.399 don't do it, don't attack dealerships, don't scratch the sides 137 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.800 of tesla's, don't advocate for the assassination of the president. 138 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.360 We don't want them eliminate it. We want to challenge 139 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.920 them on the battlefield of ideas and win. Why don't 140 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.800 the Democratic leaders tell it's flock, don't do this. 141 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.639 Well, the answer to your question, Bill is they know 142 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:56.360 they can't win legitimacy. Legitimately their ideas, the platform of 143 00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:03.040 the Democrat Party is so far left, so destructive. You know, 144 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.879 to most Americans that they can't win. They're in a 145 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.319 party of severe decline, and they're like cornered rats that 146 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.399 all they can do is conduct themselves in this way. 147 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.839 And it's very very sad. But so we need a 148 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:17.680 tough Supreme Court. 149 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.720 We've had five victories in the Supreme Court in the 150 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.160 last ten days or so. 151 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.120 Amazing, isn't it. 152 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.560 Where the Supreme Court has come out and defended the 153 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.560 position of Donald Trump to be the president and to 154 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:36.200 exercise is executive not just privileged but his executive authority. 155 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:41.440 The president is given authority by the Constitution because it's 156 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.000 essential that we have a powerful commander in chief not 157 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.399 only in military affairs, but also. 158 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:49.919 In other security matters. 159 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:55.360 And for any judge to try to subvert Donald Trump's 160 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.039 you know, deporting of not just the illegal aliens, but 161 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.320 the worst elements. The trend of dog Guang Doagua terrorists. 162 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.519 These people they need to be they need to be 163 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.559 removed as quickly as possible. Why is there a judge 164 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.120 that would block that and say, oh, oh, I'm giving 165 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.039 an order to turn the plane around and bring them 166 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:16.879 back to America. 167 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.360 Can't happen. Let's talk about the funding. You have a 168 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.320 great part of your column Scott powellin townhall dot com 169 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.799 about funding these protests. Explain how much money they're paid 170 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.799 and what the purpose is the hands off protests that 171 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.080 are going to happen every month, I would imagine, because 172 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.519 this is astro turf, their protesters are paid and they're 173 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.720 out there protesting, and the media covers it as if 174 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.639 everage middle class people just on their own come out 175 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.320 of their homes, their apartments, their condos, their trailer parks, 176 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.120 they just kind of leave their work and just all 177 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:49.320 of a sudden show up together and start protesting. Is 178 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.159 that the way it works? 179 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.519 I just want to pray, And it hasn't. It hasn't 180 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.600 worked that way for a long time. We're just finally 181 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.200 waking up to it. And I always just say, you know, 182 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.600 fool me one, shame on me, but fool me twice, 183 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.519 shame on you. You know, the hands off protest which runs 184 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.559 under monikers such as the Tesla takedown or ending the 185 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.759 Billionaire power Grab. Look, the billionaire power grab is more 186 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.600 more on the left and the right. 187 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.440 Now, that's where the money is. 188 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.639 It's in the high tech industry that tends to support 189 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.320 the Democrat agenda. But this is anything but a grassroots 190 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.399 movement or it's spontaneous. You know, many progresses are protests 191 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:30.879 are paid in as much as three hundred dollars a day, 192 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.840 and then there's funding from one hundred more than one 193 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.159 hundred and seventy five NGOs. The real number was I 194 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.440 think one hundred and eighty nine, but since you can't 195 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.039 really verify it, I just said we'll give a number 196 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.279 a little less than that. You know, and the different 197 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.159 protest groups involved in the hands offf protesting hands off 198 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.279 protest campaign, you know they've been assisted and coordinated by 199 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.960 an organization known as Indivisible that has received millions of 200 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.919 dollars from George Soros's Open Society Foundation. 201 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:01.879 Yeah, so there we. 202 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:07.240 Have Soros funding das and the campaigns of federal judges 203 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:10.840 and getting them, you know, get getting getting them into office, 204 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.879 and then running. 205 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.120 The street gangs too. I mean, this is my gosh. 206 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.799 I tell you, I don't know, and you have a 207 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.559 great part of your column about the organization. What are 208 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.639 the goals? I like to know what is the goal? 209 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.000 It's the goal to have more bankruptcies? Is the goal 210 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.399 to have more illegal aliens? Can you imagine? I often 211 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.159 say every now and then I might have taken issue 212 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.399 with a thing or two that Donald Trump has done, 213 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:33.799 and I'm thinking, well, that's. 214 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.679 Not quite right. But the ball goat is great. 215 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.679 But I'm thinking, what if the shoe was on the 216 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.600 other foot and about five hundred thousand votes changed hands, 217 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.080 and that Kamala Harris was in the presidency right now, 218 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.440 and that Tim Waltz was the vice president right now? 219 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.360 What would the southern border look like right now? Using 220 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.720 the same laws available to Joe Biden. The southern border 221 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.519 is closed in fact we're now getting it's going to 222 00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.360 take two or three years to get all them out 223 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.519 of here. But none the less that we were told 224 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.600 by the Democrats and the media that the only way 225 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.000 to fix the southern border was to pass all these 226 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.080 brand new laws that called for the hiring of ten 227 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.840 thousand more federal employees, including the fact that everyone in 228 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.320 the country could stay here and wait for their hearing 229 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.440 to be held. There was going to be two thousand 230 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.759 more administrative law judges to have hearings on each individual. 231 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.200 This would stretch out for five to ten years. We 232 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.360 found out the laws in effect when Biden was the 233 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.159 president had been sufficient when used. 234 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:32.320 Correctly by Donald Trump. And the media doesn't cover that 235 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:32.759 at all. 236 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.919 Of course not the media is full of useful idiots, 237 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.919 you know, Lenin called Lenin called the people, you know, 238 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.000 the average people that get mobilized for these demonstrations, and 239 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:49.159 of course these are media events. Remember this is terrorism 240 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.120 is a media event. Do you know that that the 241 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.799 terrorists win not because of the killings that they do, 242 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.480 but because of their effects on the media globally. 243 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.200 So uh, you know, our biggest. 244 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.960 Challenges Americans is this normalcy bias that we all have. 245 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.200 You know, we all, especially US adults, we have long 246 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:10.159 memories of the way. 247 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:10.679 It used to be. 248 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.320 And this is America, and this couldn't possibly be happening 249 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.799 in America. We have this normalcy bias that prevents us 250 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.720 from seeing the leadership of the left, the Democrat Party 251 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:22.480 for what it is. 252 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:24.559 These are destroyers. 253 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:30.159 These people want America totally restructured. They want us merged 254 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.679 into some new global order. They want a pure democracy, 255 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.919 not a constitutional republic. And you know the founding fathers 256 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.399 were scared to death of a pure democracy. Why because 257 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:44.759 it always devolves to a mobocracy. Can't we see this 258 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.399 now that we have a mobocracy running America on the street, 259 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.159 this is a color This is a color revolution in 260 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.279 America to prevent Donald Trump, the elected president, from being 261 00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.320 able to carry up what the people wanted. 262 00:13:58.639 --> 00:13:59.960 So we'll have a color revolution. 263 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.799 Will will obstruct through through law, there will obstruct through demonstrations, 264 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.000 will obstruct through assassination threats. 265 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.720 I mean a lot of people get intimidated. 266 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.480 I think Amy Coey, Barrett and maybe Brett Kavanaugh, they 267 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.000 they backed down from being tough because they were afraid 268 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:23.679 a democratic America that we that that we knew in 269 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.840 our childhood, and we've got to corrected sky about minute remaining. 270 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:33.039 But a Democratic activist compelled indirectly by Chuck Schumer, the 271 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.519 leader of the Democrats in the Senate, hunted down at 272 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.120 the home of Brett Kavanaugh to kill him and his family. 273 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.440 And that wasn't a major deal. And in fact, the 274 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.879 guy just was found guilty about a week ago. Nobody 275 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.840 knows about it. Lastly, on the teriff issue, if tariffs 276 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.559 are so wrong, how come every country in the world 277 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:52.639 has them except us? 278 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:53.480 If they're so wrong? 279 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.639 And secondly, if Americans pay for the tariffs, why would 280 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:02.120 these other countries care. The fact is the tariffs are 281 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.559 born by lots of parties along the way. But tariffs work. 282 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.759 That's why other countries use them. And secondly, Americans don't 283 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:12.759 pay completely for the tariffs. If they did, the other 284 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.159 countries wouldn't care. If the Americans paid for the tariffs, 285 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.600 why would Canadians care? Well, have any tariff you want 286 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.879 the American consumer pays, right, The answer is, no, tariffs work, 287 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:27.600 and Americans pay a small part. In fact, inflation has 288 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.519 gone down in the month of February and go down 289 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.519 on the month of March, and that will not be reported. 290 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.840 But Scott Powell, we got to run once again. I 291 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.519 love your term the mobocracy, and that the media covers 292 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:42.399 the mobocracy as if that's the bowel, it's the soul 293 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:46.559 of the American people, just uni laterly arising serum. It's 294 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.559 just all of a sudden to go out there in protest, 295 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.960 when in fact it's paid for because the mob rules, 296 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.240 because the George Floyd riots, because the hands off these 297 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:58.240 useful idiots of march around because they're paid. Well, Scott Powell, 298 00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.919 you got me all urinated off right now, So I 299 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.399 gotta go. But h but once again, uh, somehow sanity 300 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.759 must rule, and somehow Donald Trump must be allowed to 301 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:08.360 be the president. 302 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:09.120 Bill, you are you. 303 00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:11.960 You are a great voice of sanity in this country. 304 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.639 And I just say, keep it up, man, don't give up. 305 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.679 Don't retire on us. Bill, No, I'm too young to retire. 306 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.639 I got I got too much, I got too much vision, 307 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:21.519 I got a voice, and damn I'm gonna keep talking. 308 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.200 Scott Powell, You're a great American, and thanks for coming 309 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:25.360 on the Bill Cunningham Show. 310 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.240 Thank you, Scott, Thank you Bill. 311 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.879 As Americans, we can't let the mobocracy rule it works 312 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.000 with George Floyd riots is it going to work again? 313 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:39.320 Bill Cunningham on seven hundred wu ow hi, Billy Cunningham, 314 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.600 the Great American. Coming up after one o'clock today will 315 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.399 be Michael McDonald of the Catholic League of what's happening 316 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.639 in the state of Colorado? That could come to Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, 317 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.960 but I doubt it. But it's happening in many blue 318 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.440 cities and blue states about so called transgender rights. And 319 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.919 can I say as many times as I can, no 320 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.440 one I know advocates, certainly not the Great American of 321 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.240 any injury to anybody who believes they're locked in the 322 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.799 wrong body. It's a failure to recognize reality. It's a mental, 323 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.240 mental problem needs to be taken care of and solved. 324 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.240 And to me, I have empathy and sympathy for parents 325 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:17.039 having to deal with that because so much on the 326 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.759 culture demands that a fourteen year old boy become a girl. 327 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:22.960 They're often told as parents, so you want, you want 328 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.279 a live son or a dead daughter. Those are the choices. 329 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.799 Those are false choices. So I have a guess after 330 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:30.599 one o'clock to address that and so much more, and 331 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.759 getting ready of course, for what's happening economically right now, 332 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:38.079 the market's down about a thousand points. It was up yesterday. 333 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:40.119 Over the next several weeks months is going to go up, 334 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.799 going to go down, and it's the nature of the market. 335 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.559 I would note that inflation in the month of March 336 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:48.160 I was supposed to go up point one percent. In 337 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.680 the month it went down one percent point one percent, 338 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.279 which is one tenth of a percent. 339 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.160 Not a big deal. 340 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:57.759 But let's face it, when good things happen to Donald 341 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:01.000 Trump because of his policies, they're ignored. Anything bad that 342 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:04.319 might occur as exploded into significance by the mainstream media. 343 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.839 It's the role on which we live. And I have 344 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.319 a guest coming up later talk about China, what's happening 345 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.880 with tariffs and things of that character and more. Some 346 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.359 say don't give an inch, of course not some of 347 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.440 the protests I know this came out yesterday through the 348 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.960 Department of Labor. What are you protesting? You might recall 349 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.279 last Saturday there was a five hundred to one thousand 350 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:31.519 so called protesters, I call them useful idiots, lined up 351 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:36.160 in Washington Park in order to protest Doge. They say 352 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.640 threats to the democracy, as Doge, Well, when a Republican 353 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.640 is elected, that's a threat to democracy. 354 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:43.839 We just had an election, believe it or not. It's 355 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:44.720 not been that long. 356 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.319 We've had a president in office less than ninety days, 357 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.640 and it's already been declared to be delegitimate by the media, 358 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.920 by the mainstream medium, by so many Democrats and Doge 359 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.680 as an attempt to reign in some of the abuses 360 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.160 of the federal government. We know all about every year. 361 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.440 I've been sitting here for quite a while. The GAO 362 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:10.160 Government Accounting Office, independent accounting firm hired by the Congress, 363 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.440 determines that between two hundred to five hundred billion dollars 364 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.839 a year is wasted in the federal government. And they 365 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:19.400 know it's wasted, but there's no audit available to see 366 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.480 where the money went. Democrats are never incentivized, and the 367 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.480 Democrats that won the fourth estate, which is the alphabet 368 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.440 soup agencies that stay forever, they're under no motivation to 369 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.880 find out how much wasteful spending has occurred because many 370 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:39.400 times Democrats NGOs, these so called charitable groups under contract 371 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.279 have received billions and billions and billions of dollars to 372 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:46.880 house clothe and feed large numbers of illegal immigrants because 373 00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:50.920 ultimately they've become Democratic voters all about politics. You might 374 00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:53.960 recall that we were told for a long time the 375 00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.920 law does not allow Joe Biden to shut down the 376 00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.480 southern border. We need new laws that would hire one 377 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.680 hundred thous and employees, seven thousand new administrative judges, keep 378 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.599 everyone here, and then keep using the app to have 379 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.759 more come into this country from around the world, and 380 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.680 we request hearings under refugee status and have the trial 381 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.880 sometime three to seven years from now. We now discovered 382 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.559 that was a lie. That was a lie because Donald Trump, 383 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:24.960 using the same laws that Joe Biden said could not 384 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.559 be used, has shut down the southern border. We now 385 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:30.200 have control of the southern border. In the first three 386 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.200 months of the Trump administration, when the Democrats were telling 387 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.200 us they needed all these new laws and new employees 388 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.200 to get it done, it was all a lie. And 389 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.680 the more that DOGE works and more we find out 390 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:47.000 the huge embarrassment. So many government programs can be Social 391 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.759 Security No, how many times can Donald Trump and all 392 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.319 the other Republicans say no one on Social Security is 393 00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:55.240 going to be touched. We want to find the waste 394 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.680 fraud and abuse that the Trustees of Social Security say 395 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:01.960 there's at least one hundred billion dollars every year and 396 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:05.720 waste fraud and abuse just in Social Security and much 397 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.519 less the Department of Defense, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 398 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:12.200 And this came out yesterday from the Press Secretary of 399 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:13.599 Caroline Levett. 400 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.240 Just an unemployment benefits. How about this one? 401 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:23.559
