Speaker 1: Portions of the Bill Cunningham Show may be pre recorded.
Speaker 2: Willie through You by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway
Speaker 2: in Hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying
Speaker 2: stay book at Choice Hotels dot com. Thal Here's the
Speaker 2: man who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of
Speaker 2: not won, but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast episodes,
Speaker 2: the one and only Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 3: H right, Billy Cunningham, the great American, and we want
Speaker 3: to thank you very much for tuning in this beautiful
Speaker 3: Sunday night in the nation. A couple of had events
Speaker 3: of transpiring almost as I'm speaking. Six injured an attack
Speaker 3: on an Israelia situation. The hostage advocates in Colorado and
Speaker 3: Boulder get together now and then they tend to be
Speaker 3: older Americans, they tend to be Jewish. And it's not
Speaker 3: a protest, not a march, And what it is is
Speaker 3: several individual and individuals get together and just silently pray
Speaker 3: for the hostages kept on the ground in Gaza. And
Speaker 3: a person known as Mohammed Solomon, who was here illegally,
Speaker 3: I might add, from Egypt to overstate his visa, took
Speaker 3: it upon himself to use a makeshift flamethrower, whatever that is,
Speaker 3: in order to kill as many as possible. It appears
Speaker 3: that four or five are fighting for their lives, including
Speaker 3: an older woman. And he also was heard to shout repeatedly, free,
Speaker 3: Free Palestine, Free Palestine. And we have at this point
Speaker 3: indications that it was a hate crime. They were targeted
Speaker 3: because of their faith, and it's terrible circumstance, awful. It's
Speaker 3: unimaginable that a person in Boulder, Colorado could take it
Speaker 3: upon themselves to connect somehow these six individuals to Palestine,
Speaker 3: who were simply remarking that there's still about four dozen
Speaker 3: hostages remaining living as moles, as mice on the ground
Speaker 3: being held captive by Hamas. The conflict could end tonight,
Speaker 3: right now, nine minutes after the hour. All Amas has
Speaker 3: to do is recognize reality, to surrender their arms, give
Speaker 3: up the hostages, more aid flows in, and somehow the
Speaker 3: rebuilding can begin. It cannot be done with Hamas directly
Speaker 3: or indirectly in charge of anything. Is there a hate group.
Speaker 3: It'd be like leaving Berlin in charge of the Nazis
Speaker 3: in nineteen forty five. That would never happen This is
Speaker 3: a hate organization, a hate group organized for the purpose
Speaker 3: of killing Jews and Westerners wherever they might be located,
Speaker 3: including and the Twin Towers, wherever they might be located
Speaker 3: in Skanksville, Pennsylvania, wherever they might be located in the Pentagon.
Speaker 3: There's been a quarter of a million attacks by Islamist
Speaker 3: over the past fifty years.
Speaker 1: Quarter of a million.
Speaker 3: Of course, the great majority killed by these radicals, these
Speaker 3: murderers are Muslims themselves. But nonetheless, what happened this afternoon
Speaker 3: and Boulder is disgusting, it's awful, it's terrible. And we
Speaker 3: also have another terrible event taking place, and that is
Speaker 3: that it appears that Ukraine, several hours ago claims that
Speaker 3: a massive drone strike on Russian bombers called Operation Spiderweb
Speaker 3: has been quite successful against the Russian bear. Another evildoer,
Speaker 3: of course, is Vladimir Putin. He's killed millions of people
Speaker 3: directly and indirectly. They used an occasion to it's incredible
Speaker 3: how this was pulled off, as audacious attacks took place
Speaker 3: three thousand miles inside Russian territory. According to a source,
Speaker 3: the Ukrainian smuggled drones in the Russia, followed by mobile
Speaker 3: wooden cabins. Once the inside Russians, the drones were hidden
Speaker 3: inside the cabin roofs on the back of like eighteen
Speaker 3: wheelers mounted on cargo trucks, and during the attack looked
Speaker 3: like a peaceful operation. And we're talking three thousand miles
Speaker 3: in the Ukraine near Siberia. Once inside Russia, during the attack,
Speaker 3: the roofs opened up remotely, enabling the drones to launch
Speaker 3: at Russian bombers, according to the source, who added the
Speaker 3: operation was overseen by Zelenski himself and executed by Ukrainian
Speaker 3: security services. Russia did not immediately comment on the bombings,
Speaker 3: but tonight, which is early in the morning in Moscow,
Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin has called together his cabinet to talk about
Speaker 3: an appropriate response on Evan Moore and also in the
Speaker 3: last few hours have been several large bridges in Russia
Speaker 3: itself blown up seemingly by Ukrainian secret service members. The
Speaker 3: Ukrainian Army set a Russian missile strike on an army
Speaker 3: training unit this morning, killed at least twelve Ukrainian service
Speaker 3: members injuring fifty. This is the latest escalation and two
Speaker 3: bridges there are several bridges collapsing in Russia itself, occasioned
Speaker 3: by drone technology in the hands of Ukrainians. It takes
Speaker 3: a five hundred dollars drone to kill two billion dollars
Speaker 3: worth of forty one SSU seventy one bombers. Long range
Speaker 3: nuclear capable bombers were targeted by Ukrainians some three thousand
Speaker 3: miles east of their border. So say this as a
Speaker 3: shock would be an understatement. And what Putin's going to
Speaker 3: do at this point, god only knows. Hours later, in
Speaker 3: the Kursk region, which is clo the Ukraine, a railroad
Speaker 3: bridge in the pedestrian pathway collapsed while a freight train
Speaker 3: was crossing. And so all hell's about to break loose Monday,
Speaker 3: Tuesday and Wednesday, And there's a concern in Washington that
Speaker 3: maybe the tactical nukes might be used by Putin, who's
Speaker 3: a mass murderer. It's the wars being brought home, and
Speaker 3: Zelensky has said now that there'll be more of these attacks.
Speaker 3: In fact, they're going to attack. They're going to attack
Speaker 3: Moscow itself, which they've done repeatedly, and kill other members
Speaker 3: of the Russian General Corps. But this one attack called
Speaker 3: Operation Spiderweb, has taken out thirty five percent of the
Speaker 3: Russian air Force capable of delivering bombs and nuclear missiles.
Speaker 3: These are the large bombers, and thirty five percent of
Speaker 3: the Russian Air Force has been blown up earlier today
Speaker 3: by Ukrainians. I don't know what's going to come of this,
Speaker 3: and I stay with you're creating people one thousand percent,
Speaker 3: and the reference to be free of the Russian bear,
Speaker 3: which is riek Tavoc in the world now for the
Speaker 3: past eighty years. And then of course another Jewish attack
Speaker 3: attacked by Jews, innocent individuals simply walking in a pleasant
Speaker 3: day and so called the Pearl Street area of Boulder,
Speaker 3: and I know many of my listeners are familiar with
Speaker 3: with that area. It's beautiful, it's forbidden to have cars
Speaker 3: and other traffic being going in that area, and it
Speaker 3: was usually essentially as a stroll on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3: And according to media accounts, there's a synagogue that sponsors
Speaker 3: quiet prayer recognizing there are still many shall always say,
Speaker 3: being held hostage by terrible circumstances in Gaza, and at
Speaker 3: this point I know four or five are fighting for
Speaker 3: their lives makeship set these Jews on fire. As Mohammed
Speaker 3: saw was yelling, free Palestine, Free Palestine. It's almost a
Speaker 3: regular event occasioned by the Petri dish happening on college campuses,
Speaker 3: in which Jews are targeted in this country, whether walking
Speaker 3: outside of an Israeli embassy, praying in a synagogue, or
Speaker 3: simply walking on a public street because of the faith
Speaker 3: that they hold. And it's not getting better, it's getting
Speaker 3: a whole lot worse. And in this case with Mohammed Suleiman,
Speaker 3: he came into America in August of twenty twenty two
Speaker 3: under a visa program, under the idea that he was
Speaker 3: going to be a tourist. And right now he was
Speaker 3: given a six month permission to tour the country to
Speaker 3: look at the Grand Canyon or whatever. But there's one
Speaker 3: point one million, at a minimum foreigners who've overstayed their
Speaker 3: visa without permission to do so under deportation orders, and
Speaker 3: Mohammed Solomon was one of those. He came here in
Speaker 3: August of twenty twenty two, and he simply and right
Speaker 3: now tonight as we speak, the FBI, and I'm sure
Speaker 3: Dan Bongino, who's a great American himself and Fatel are
Speaker 3: going to track this downs. Did he have any help whatsoever.
Speaker 3: He's forty five years old using a makeshift flamethrower to
Speaker 3: set Jews on fire, yelling free Palestine, Free Palestine. So
Speaker 3: we'll deal with that also tonight. Our response, I don't
Speaker 3: know what it can be. The haven and apprehension. Mohammed
Speaker 3: Solomon is under arrest, and I'm sure they go through
Speaker 3: his social history and his phone things of that character.
Speaker 3: He will spend the rest of his life in jail.
Speaker 3: Forty five years old, So we're going to spend about
Speaker 3: thirty thousand dollars a year and his maintenance and feeding
Speaker 3: for the next thirty or forty years because he decided
Speaker 3: to take out a jihad against Jews. And the words
Speaker 3: are similar to what you hear on Columbia campuses, Harvard
Speaker 3: and Yale and UCLA. Yesterday was a so called day
Speaker 3: of rage that was called by many simply to talk
Speaker 3: about the plight of Palestinians in Gaza. All it takes
Speaker 3: is Homostas surrender and the war's over. The hostages are free,
Speaker 3: the kids are fed, and life is as good as
Speaker 3: it can.
Speaker 1: Be for them. A day of rage in our country.
Speaker 3: It's not about building schools or hospitals or infrastructure for
Speaker 3: long term well being. The day of rage by the
Speaker 3: Palestinian supporters here not about creating jobs or nurturing or
Speaker 3: culture or voluntarism or advancing education. What's it about, as
Speaker 3: violently in ugly ways, directing fury against Israel and the
Speaker 3: Jewish people living in America and those who simply want
Speaker 3: to live in peace with everyone who dare to support
Speaker 3: the Jewish states right to exist. So thereafter America, there's
Speaker 3: a few million in this country, many on college campuses,
Speaker 3: that couldn't care less about the status of the Israeli people,
Speaker 3: and they bought the lies told to them by Amas
Speaker 3: and Hesbla and boc a Ram and the Taliban and Iss, etc.
Speaker 3: The organizers here, whether it's the Palestinian authority or their
Speaker 3: international gang of cheerleaders or not rallying specifically for Palestinian
Speaker 3: statehood or prosperity. This exploits the pain that so many
Speaker 3: of us feel in a cycle of violence without offering
Speaker 3: a path to a better future. In fact, there's no
Speaker 3: place in the Islamic country where a woman has the
Speaker 3: right to exist. I've seen reports on newsweek dot com
Speaker 3: about Saudi Arabian women who have not are behaving incorrectly
Speaker 3: according to their husbands, put in these re education camps
Speaker 3: in Saudi Arabia where these women are like beaten and
Speaker 3: cane on a regular basis denied food and bathroom privileges
Speaker 3: because they're female. And the main thing on college campus
Speaker 3: is that Donald Trump's trying to fight their interest in
Speaker 3: one thing that is killing Jews, destroy the Palestinian state
Speaker 3: and replacing it with one controlled by Hamas. One can
Speaker 3: imagine that status. One can imagine the Palestinian Authority, which
Speaker 3: is headquartered in the West Bank, is viewed by the
Speaker 3: UN and others, is somehow moderate, But the Palestinian Authority
Speaker 3: itself will reward those terrorists who murder innocent men, women
Speaker 3: and children who are Jewish. The PA, the Palestinian Authority
Speaker 3: in doctrinates kids with hatred through school curricula and media.
Speaker 3: And this is not about building a nation, It's about
Speaker 3: destroying one, and it's Israel. So these days of rage
Speaker 3: called here in various parts of Middle East, shall we
Speaker 3: say a misnumber. You know, when I spent my time
Speaker 3: in Israel about two and a half years ago, Israel
Speaker 3: looked like the Gaza appeared in nineteen forty eight.
Speaker 1: It was a.
Speaker 3: And the Jews, by work and perseverance, by the way,
Speaker 3: they were immediately attacked by six of their Muslim neighbors,
Speaker 3: Syria and Lebanon, Jordan. Egypt just unleashed fury on Israel,
Speaker 3: and by the hand of God, they survived. And their
Speaker 3: success is not a fluke. Israel's success is not a fluke.
Speaker 3: It is a result of a people adopting Western democratic
Speaker 3: principles of work and resilience. In fact, there are members.
Speaker 3: There's Islamic members of the Kanesse in Tel Aviv. There's
Speaker 3: Islamic Muslim members of the Supreme Court of Israel. You
Speaker 3: see it every day. The Muslims who want to live
Speaker 3: in a functional society live in Israel. And when faced
Speaker 3: with wars and adversity, the Jews dig down deep and
Speaker 3: they through resilience and perseverance and fear of God, love
Speaker 3: of Israel, and commitment to life, they win. They win,
Speaker 3: and they win again. But until Hamas acknowledges reality and
Speaker 3: says we now as a force, will give up our arms.
Speaker 3: We surrender.
Speaker 1: We've lost.
Speaker 3: We're not going to continue to use our own people
Speaker 3: as shields for the armaments that were using to kill Jews.
Speaker 1: We're not going to do it anymore.
Speaker 3: We're done, and the war would end tonight, it'd be
Speaker 3: over Amas. They lost IDF one. Let's protect the innocent men,
Speaker 3: women and children of Gaza, and God knows there's many
Speaker 3: of those who need to be house clothed and fed tonight.
Speaker 3: But what's keeping that from occurring is not Israel, not
Speaker 3: the Jews. It's Hamas, who will not surrender. You might
Speaker 3: recall that in twenty oh five, twenty years ago, Israel
Speaker 3: completely withdrew from the Gaza, leaving behind in their wake infrastructure, schools,
Speaker 3: hospitals built by the Jews, green houses and more. It
Speaker 3: was the foundation of a Palestinian state, and they then
Speaker 3: received billions of dollars of aid from all around the world,
Speaker 3: including the UN.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: After a while, Hamas sees power, sees control voted in
Speaker 3: by the Palestinians living in Gaza and the uh the
Speaker 3: grain factories who were looted the greenhouses were allowed to
Speaker 3: go follow and all of a sudden the land was
Speaker 3: used as a launching pad for rockets into Israel. Hamas
Speaker 3: in charge simply did not want to build their own state.
Speaker 3: What they want to do is kill the Jew. And
Speaker 3: it's happening all over the world, including Uh tonight sought
Speaker 3: to kill in Boulder. It's it's unbelievable, and this obsession
Speaker 3: to kill the Jew has consequences for Arab kids who
Speaker 3: grew up in a world where their heroes taught to
Speaker 3: them by their parents and the schools. The heroes in
Speaker 3: Gaza are suicide bombers. Those are the heroes. The PA
Speaker 3: will name streets after suicide bombers and pay their families
Speaker 3: as the economy languishes and their leaders priorities jihat over jobs.
Speaker 3: It's an organizing factor to go against the Jew. It's sick,
Speaker 3: and it's said. Hospitals and the factories left behind by
Speaker 3: the Israeli involvement in Gaza giving up some twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: Now the hole land is devastated, not because of Israel.
Speaker 3: They're trying to defend themselves against the Hamas terrorists who
Speaker 3: cut out babies out of mother's wombs and rape the
Speaker 3: carcasses of dead girls. On October the seventh, that's what happened.
Speaker 3: It's a spectacle. It's unbelievable. You ought to be a
Speaker 3: reason for rage against Hamas and Hezbollah. And take it
Speaker 3: for one, this great American does not believe that Iran
Speaker 3: is ever going to give up nuclear capabilities.
Speaker 1: Never.
Speaker 3: Let's continue with more. Want to get your reaction to
Speaker 3: this and so much more. If we have five lines
Speaker 3: open now eight six six six four seven seven three
Speaker 3: three seven eight six six six four seven seven three
Speaker 3: three seven. Bill Cunningham, your calls are next with you
Speaker 3: every Sunday night. And you know this brazen blitz by
Speaker 3: Ukraine three thousand miles inside Russia was planned for eighteen months.
Speaker 3: It was called Operations Spider's Web, series of coordinated drone
Speaker 3: strikes deep into Russian territory three thousand miles. One was
Speaker 3: near the Siberian border, and it shocked its shocked the
Speaker 3: Russian completely. The Ukraine authorities used small drones hidden inside
Speaker 3: wooden cabinets and cabins mounted on flatbed trucks dispersed all
Speaker 3: over Russia, thinking it was simply a commercial enterprise. And
Speaker 3: when the trucks reached their target near six different air
Speaker 3: force bases deep inside Ruhrussia in which these large Russian
Speaker 3: bombers were there, the roofs opened by remote control, and
Speaker 3: the drones flew, launched and dove into these t thirty one,
Speaker 3: a large Russian the bombers destroying everyone they hit. And
Speaker 3: then after about a fifteen to twenty minutes, each of
Speaker 3: these so called flatbed trucks blew themselves up remotely, so
Speaker 3: it's little evidence. And on top of that, Zelensky sent
Speaker 3: drones to Russian bridges taking them out. And so right
Speaker 3: now it's early morning, it's about six twenty eight am
Speaker 3: in the morning in Moscow, and Vladimir Putin is fit
Speaker 3: to be tied. What's the next step I don't know,
Speaker 3: but Zelenski now promises more of these type at texts.
Speaker 3: And lastly, let's say you're in the Oval office. Let's
Speaker 3: say you're Donald Trump, and you'll watch what happened in Boulder,
Speaker 3: Colorado earlier today. What do you do if anything? Suddenly
Speaker 3: we're being drawn into the Gosen situation when the t
Speaker 3: Rumpsters trying to bring peace, and it's much difficult if
Speaker 3: you were sitting in the Oval office now, what would
Speaker 3: you do if anything? Eight sixty six six four seven
Speaker 3: seven three three seven. Want to get your reaction to
Speaker 3: what is going to happen sometime, I guess Monday or
Speaker 3: Tuesday or Wednesday, the world is on the precipice of something.
Speaker 3: I don't have a good feeling in my heart? Do
Speaker 3: you about this? About both situations? Eight sixty six six
Speaker 3: four seven seven three three seven Bill cunning and the
Speaker 3: Great American with you every Sunday night. Now, maybe it's
Speaker 3: a good thing. The college kids are out for the
Speaker 3: next three months, and most of the commencement speakers have
Speaker 3: now been ushered off stage, away from the podiums in
Speaker 3: which they show support for Hamas and Hesbela. Because to me,
Speaker 3: the double standard we got Gregan Michigan and Paul and
Speaker 3: Idaho be the first two callers. Double standard is unbelievable
Speaker 3: because the Palestinian Arabs themselves.
Speaker 1: Reject the idea.
Speaker 3: In fact, their charter calls for the destruction of Israel
Speaker 3: and the murder of Jews, and the Palestinian authorities is
Speaker 3: a pay for slave policy that incentivizes terror. The double standard,
Speaker 3: the moral bankruptcy is incredible, and the college kids that
Speaker 3: shout the slogans approved by Hamas should be expelled and
Speaker 3: if not citizens, they should be sent back to their
Speaker 3: home countries. I like to know if the world really
Speaker 3: cared about Palestinian Arabs, they'd want their money back. Beginning
Speaker 3: in twenty oh five, when billions were sent into the
Speaker 3: guys to build more hospitals and factories and orchards. Instead,
Speaker 3: it was used by Hamas to kill Jews. I would ask,
Speaker 3: how come yes their airfat rejected a state in the
Speaker 3: year two thousand and why did mcmod Habbas now on
Speaker 3: the West Bank walk away from any negotiations? And why
Speaker 3: does Hamas fire rockets from civilian areas under hospitals into Israel?
Speaker 1: I would question.
Speaker 3: I would ask where what are the billions of dollars
Speaker 3: of aid that we sent to guys?
Speaker 1: How was it spent?
Speaker 3: Was he spent to develop weapons and build tunnels under
Speaker 3: schools and hospitals, or was he spent to uplift the
Speaker 3: gods and people? The answer is obvious. Let's go to
Speaker 3: the calls, as I promised, and later on, in about
Speaker 3: an hour and a half, we'll have a guest or
Speaker 3: two coming on. One of them is going to be
Speaker 3: fabulous to talk about how Hamas has infiltrated college campuses,
Speaker 3: right right, Who's paying for this stuff on college campuses?
Speaker 3: Either Hamas or Cutter that's who's paying for it and
Speaker 3: to me now to be fully investigated. Let's continue now,
Speaker 3: let's go to uh, Greg and Michigan and Paul and Idaho,
Speaker 3: and then a couple of calls from Ohio and then
Speaker 3: one from California and Greg and Michigan. Welcome to the
Speaker 3: Bill Unningham. Greg, what do you got? What would you
Speaker 3: do tonight if you were in charge?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: My god, Bill, it's an honor. Hey, real quick, I'm
Speaker 5: known as mister Positive. Me and Chris Cuomo talk about
Speaker 5: our culture and our society. I've got to ask you, Bill,
Speaker 5: I appreciate your knowledge. How do we we have so
Speaker 5: much division in our culture and our society? How do
Speaker 5: we bring unity? I mean, what what is happening? Would
Speaker 5: happened in Boulder, Colorado? I mean, it's pretending. This is
Speaker 5: getting so out of hand that what do we do?
Speaker 5: I mean, it's everywhere. What do you think is the
Speaker 5: reason for the youth of today that are doing this,
Speaker 5: whether it be Israel's Israelis or Palestinians or whatever. I
Speaker 5: guess Bill, what I want to ask you is how
Speaker 5: do we bring unity to this country?
Speaker 4: I don't give you an idea.
Speaker 3: Giving Donald Trump in the mind some and as an
Speaker 3: extremely divisive leader. He's the only president we've ever had
Speaker 3: with numerous Jewish grandchildren. But his success would be perceived
Speaker 3: as a failure by Hollywood, by the universities, by the
Speaker 3: modern Democratic Party. They do not want him to succeed.
Speaker 3: And if Trump fails, the nation fails. Something is wrong politically.
Speaker 3: When we as a people elected Donald Trump overwhelmingly to
Speaker 3: be the leader, he laid out what he wanted to do.
Speaker 3: American people said, I want that from the moment he
Speaker 3: was sworn in. Fact, before he was sworn in for
Speaker 3: the second time about five months ago, the Democratic Party,
Speaker 3: in the so called thought producers in this country attacked
Speaker 3: him mercilessly.
Speaker 1: Really, they attacked us.
Speaker 3: But we wanted tariffs to protect the American vote worker.
Speaker 3: We voted for that. We wanted the southern border shut down,
Speaker 3: we voted for that. We wanted a strong military, we
Speaker 3: voted for that. We wanted peace in the Ukraine, we
Speaker 3: wanted peace in Gaza. We want to bring the federal
Speaker 3: spending more or less under control.
Speaker 6: Role.
Speaker 1: We want to expand the military. We want the tax cuts.
Speaker 3: But the Democratic Party is in business not to uplift
Speaker 3: or reflect the policies that we voted for. It is
Speaker 3: to maintain They know if he succeeds, they fail. They
Speaker 3: want power, and they want money through USAID and other
Speaker 3: government programs to hand out billions of dollars to individuals
Speaker 3: who kick the money back to Democrats. The whole system
Speaker 3: is not set up for success. It is set up
Speaker 3: for failure. And when I watch a Keem Jeffries and others,
Speaker 3: there's not one good thing Donald Trump has ever done.
Speaker 3: He will not help, not support, And I fear there
Speaker 3: might be some well meeting senators like Rand Paul. I
Speaker 3: love that guy, but we have to move forward a
Speaker 3: little bit. And I understand what he's thinking about the deficit,
Speaker 3: and I get that, But we have to have a
Speaker 3: country that's functional, and our political parties are not set
Speaker 3: up to work with the other guy to make it succeed.
Speaker 3: Do you think if Donald Trump is a good president
Speaker 3: that would make it Keem Jefferies happy. But when Nancy
Speaker 3: Pelosi say that's great, Donald Trump did well, that's a
Speaker 3: good thing for the country. I think Chuck Schumer would say,
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna work with this president Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: because he was elected and the people want him I'm
Speaker 3: gonna give him a year or two to see what
Speaker 3: he can do. And do you think if we succeed
Speaker 3: in what Donald Trump is doing? And by the way,
Speaker 3: so far we have succeeded. The inflation number zero point
Speaker 3: five percent, real wage growth growth is underway and it's succeeding.
Speaker 3: But do you think the Democratic Party wants Trump to succeed?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, not at all.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, wow, Billy, you've done your homework. But
Speaker 5: here's the thing. Yeah, I mean, Trump, you know, in
Speaker 5: certain respects, is good. But do you think and I
Speaker 5: don't want to judge his you know, the efficacy of
Speaker 5: his platforms predicated upon his personality, But don't you think
Speaker 5: that he is the reason in essence that he could
Speaker 5: do things better and be more civil as to wag
Speaker 5: he dispenses and disperses his you know, the way you know,
Speaker 5: his platforms instead of putting people down. Let's say he
Speaker 5: doesn't like Billy Cunningham and he puts you down. But
Speaker 5: Bill Cunningham has some great ideas. But because it goes
Speaker 5: against Donald Trump's you know, opinions and thoughts, I'm Bill
Speaker 5: Cunningham's He's a bad.
Speaker 3: Person, right, Let me say this, Donald Trump's policies will work,
Speaker 3: give it a chance. I fear that Republicans in the
Speaker 3: Senate will not give it a chance. His peccadillo's, his manner,
Speaker 3: his expressions, a little bit rough around the edges, but
Speaker 3: damn it, when you punch him, he takes a chainsaw
Speaker 3: to his opponents. He fights and fights and fights because
Speaker 3: he knows that the King, Jefferies and Chuck Schumer and
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi and Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton do not wish
Speaker 3: him well. He can do nothing to convince them to
Speaker 3: work with him on anything, and the first term showed that.
Speaker 3: So I understand what you're saying. If he had Ronald
Speaker 3: Reagan's per personality, his ability to tell a joke, to
Speaker 3: be self deprecating, it might work. But I doubt it
Speaker 3: because the Democrats are not accept Donald Trump's policies, and
Speaker 3: they used the piccadillos and the personality is an excuse
Speaker 3: to oppose his policies. Let's continue now with Paul and
Speaker 3: Idaho and then Paul from Youngstown, Ohio. Paul and Idaho welcome.
Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you very much, sir. Great to talk to
Speaker 8: you again. It's been about eight months. As I talked
Speaker 8: to you asked, yes, sir, yeah, good, A good prayer,
Speaker 8: a good gap with prayer for peace, and it would
Speaker 8: be Yeah, the thing was really to be spoken for
Speaker 8: the most But you know, that was a stunt that
Speaker 8: Linski pulled.
Speaker 4: But I fear that it.
Speaker 8: Could cause some really really bad damage, a lot more
Speaker 8: than just some blames on the airfield. And you know,
Speaker 8: as far as as far as Trump is concerned, i'w
Speaker 8: back him all the way down the line. You know,
Speaker 8: he's a commander in chief. You got to whether you
Speaker 8: are him or not, whether you think his politics are
Speaker 8: bad or good, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: You gotta be behind him tonight.
Speaker 3: You know, Paul, can you imagine I understand my last caller.
Speaker 3: I get that I kind of wish he, in a
Speaker 3: sense at times would not send out tweets that are insulting,
Speaker 3: because you shouldn't punch below your weight class. When he
Speaker 3: goes after the Boss, or goes after Beyonce, goes after
Speaker 3: jay Z, I don't care. I ignore that stuff because
Speaker 3: his policies work. If his policies were implemented and more successful,
Speaker 3: that is a failure in the minds of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3: They want him to lose. They want him to look buffoonish.
Speaker 3: They want him to fail because they want power and
Speaker 3: they want their money back, and that's why they're against Trump.
Speaker 3: But if Trump had Ronald Reagan's personality, the opposition would be
Speaker 3: exactly the same. And by the way, I just looked
Speaker 3: to my right, the great one Mark Levin, and I
Speaker 3: have him on whenever I can, said tonight on his
Speaker 3: Fox News show that for all intents and purposes, Iran
Speaker 3: has a nuclear weapon, plus they have missile technology.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what I wanted to finish with. I think
Speaker 8: it was who the president if he's going to destroy
Speaker 8: Iran's facility, that he's not used nukes.
Speaker 6: They can't use that.
Speaker 8: Against us, because if you use a nuke, you're opening
Speaker 8: up the can of worms. It can't be closed.
Speaker 3: Paul, what happens if what happens if putin in the
Speaker 3: next few days. And this is the greatest attack, the
Speaker 3: most successful attack on Russian territory since nineteen forty four.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm talking something. Can you imagine if America
Speaker 3: tonight lost one third of their of their nuclear capable bombers,
Speaker 3: the B one, the B two. What if some foreign
Speaker 3: power invaded our country into the heart of Montana and
Speaker 3: North and South Dakota and blew up one third of
Speaker 3: our air force.
Speaker 1: What that's what? That's how good this was or bad?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what.
Speaker 6: We still have a subs.
Speaker 3: I guess we launched drones and took out one third
Speaker 3: of our military bases.
Speaker 1: What would we do to Iran?
Speaker 4: Well, it'd be.
Speaker 9: Better to make them, yeah, to make.
Speaker 1: Them yeah, yeah, that may.
Speaker 3: But now we have Russia tonight and in the morning,
Speaker 3: it's like eight forty four am this morning in Moscow,
Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin was waking up to an enraged military and
Speaker 3: then they've told their own people what happened to five
Speaker 3: air force bases attacked by Absolutely it took eighteen months
Speaker 3: to organize this thing, three thousand miles inside Russia.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? It was stunning.
Speaker 8: Did he cross over into territory?
Speaker 5: Is well?
Speaker 10: I want to know.
Speaker 1: No, he went.
Speaker 3: He went from Ukraine, and they had this elaborate scheme
Speaker 3: in which dozens of drones militarized were put inside wooden
Speaker 3: cabins mated on the back of trucks when they got
Speaker 3: close to the air bases.
Speaker 1: Simultaneously.
Speaker 3: They had to do it at the same time they
Speaker 3: launched the drones, taking out one third of the Russian
Speaker 3: air force.
Speaker 1: I'm going are you kidding? Planes?
Speaker 8: They were lined up just like they were just like
Speaker 8: they were in Hawaii at Ford Field when the Japanese
Speaker 8: bombed the airfield there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they couldn't conceived they and they were all lined up.
Speaker 3: They could not conceive that three thousand miles inside Russia
Speaker 3: that Ukraine would attack their plus tonight that took out
Speaker 3: several bridges in Russia.
Speaker 1: So what's going to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 8: Well, we're gonna take the deep breast and we'll get
Speaker 8: to that bridge, will across it.
Speaker 1: Literally. Well, Paul, thank you, thanks for calling in. But
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: According to Zelenski, the mission took eighteen months of planning
Speaker 3: from the start to today. He added that are people
Speaker 3: involved in preparing the operation war were withdrawn from Russian
Speaker 3: territory and time and it's like unbelievable. And then the
Speaker 3: flatbed trucks themselves and the wooden cabins blew up under
Speaker 3: the That was part of the plan. Also, it's stunning,
Speaker 3: and the fact that Vladimir Putin would announce this publicly
Speaker 3: is preparing the Russian people for something gigantic. He calls
Speaker 3: it a terrorist act, that is Russia calls it. The
Speaker 3: Ukrainians claimed thirty four percent of Russia's strategic bombers were hit,
Speaker 3: estimating damages of seven billion dollars. The BBC, who I
Speaker 3: don't trust at all, monitoring, reported that other Ukrainian experts
Speaker 3: said the estimate might be two to three billion, and
Speaker 3: they're not replaceable for another two to four years. And
Speaker 3: it's happening as peace talks are planned between UK and
Speaker 3: Russia starting tomorrow Monday in Istanbul.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: And in response, I can only imagine what the response
Speaker 3: is going to be. According to Pete Hegseth, Secretary Defense,
Speaker 3: I love saying that Secretary Defense Pete Hegseth said that
Speaker 3: we were not involved whatsoever in this operation. We were
Speaker 3: not notified ahead of time. US officials were skeptical of
Speaker 3: reports of fifty Russian bombers were hit. The number, it
Speaker 3: said might be closer to fifteen and not fifty, but
Speaker 3: way have satellite technology. But to look at it on Facebook,
Speaker 3: the bombers are lined up like at Ford Field and
Speaker 3: Pearl Harbor and just hit one after another. They did
Speaker 3: this three thousand miles inside Russia. Also also they damaged
Speaker 3: the Russian A fifty radar aircraft used to direct Russian
Speaker 3: air power against Ukraine. And unbelievable. Well, let's take short break.
Speaker 3: We continue. I don't know what's going to happen, but
Speaker 3: say it, prayer, maybe the prayer Saint Michael. Let's continue,
Speaker 3: and calls from Ohio and San Diego and New York.
Speaker 3: If three lines open eight six six six four seven
Speaker 3: seven three three seven, Bill Cunning and the Great America
Speaker 3: with you every Sunday night. All right, now, let's continue
Speaker 3: with your calls. Eight sixty six six four seven seven
Speaker 3: three three seven. I want to give credit to Bill
Speaker 3: Milusion of Fox News on this next little snippet about
Speaker 3: the Boulder, Colorado terror suspect. By the way, I watched
Speaker 3: the news conference, the chief of police of Boulder, Colorado
Speaker 3: said he couldn't really identify it as an active terror,
Speaker 3: that it would be irresponse to say as such until
Speaker 3: there's more of a full investigation with the FBI. Disagreed,
Speaker 3: and the Attorney General of Colorado disagreed. But I guess
Speaker 3: Boulder is an extremely democratic, liberal place. They don't want
Speaker 3: to say someone named Mohammed Solomon, who is yelling free Palestine,
Speaker 3: might have a motive to kill Jews. Now there's a
Speaker 3: clue there, Sherlock. But nonetheless I regress that Mohammed Solomon,
Speaker 3: who used a improvised flamethrower and or Molotov cocktails at
Speaker 3: a pro Israel march on Sunday, is an Egyptian national
Speaker 3: who was in the US illegally. Surprised there, Sherlock. According
Speaker 3: to reports, Solomon entered the country under Joe Biden's B
Speaker 3: one B two non immigrant visa, arriving in Los Angeles
Speaker 3: on August of twenty seven, twenty twenty two. That's one
Speaker 3: hell of a way to get to LA Leaving Egypt,
Speaker 3: you think you go into the East coast for some reason,
Speaker 3: to the West coast. His visa authorized him to stay
Speaker 3: in the country until February of twenty twenty three, but
Speaker 3: overstate and never left, never reapplied. He had a work
Speaker 3: visa that expired in early twenty twenty four, but said,
Speaker 3: a hell with it. No one's going to come get me.
Speaker 3: Trump's not going to win the presidency. I'll just stay here.
Speaker 3: According to Bill Mlusion three, senior Department of Homeland Security,
Speaker 3: officials said, Solomon did file a claim for asylum, and
Speaker 3: it was under Joe Biden, and he granted work authorization
Speaker 3: which expired twenty twenty four. And so at this point
Speaker 3: it is terror. It is a hate crime, just like
Speaker 3: the one outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, d C.
Speaker 3: About three weeks here, where that lovely couple was gunned
Speaker 3: down because of their so called Jewish faith. By the way,
Speaker 3: one was a Catholic, the other one was a Jew
Speaker 3: And the fool that did that is now going to
Speaker 3: spend the rest of his life from prison. The Petri Dish,
Speaker 3: the foundation, the cauldron that the hatred comes out of,
Speaker 3: is manifested on college campuses like Harvard and Yale. I
Speaker 3: could not imagine if half a well fifty years ago,
Speaker 3: if last week members of the ku Klux Klan would
Speaker 3: invade Columbia, Harvard, and Yale and shout the N word
Speaker 3: at black students, how long would those campuses put up
Speaker 3: with that? The answer is the students are expelled. That
Speaker 3: is hate speech.
Speaker 1: By the way.
Speaker 3: Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment. By the way,
Speaker 3: that is permitted, But it didn't give you the right
Speaker 3: to be on a college campus. Doesn't give you the
Speaker 3: right to work on a college campus if he used
Speaker 3: that kind of word. The hate speech is directed by
Speaker 3: government activities, not by private employment. But nonetheless, for some reason,
Speaker 3: a lot of this is put up with when it
Speaker 3: shouldn't be. Let's continue with your calls eight sixty six
Speaker 3: six four seven seven three three seven calls from Ohio
Speaker 3: and North Carolina and New York.
Speaker 1: Phill Cunningham with you every Sunday.
Speaker 11: Night, Willie.
Speaker 2: Brought you by Choice Hotels, Econo 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 one,
Speaker 2: but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast excellence, the
Speaker 2: one and only Bill Cunningham.
Speaker 1: Now let's continue. We never stop.
Speaker 3: We simply continue covering the story. The next few is
Speaker 3: going to be very interesting to see the response of
Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin having about thirty percent of his bomber fleet
Speaker 3: eliminated by drones to launch by Ukraine inside cabins, wooden
Speaker 3: cabins on the back of flatbed trucks five different air
Speaker 3: Force bases, take it out and plus bridges. So I
Speaker 3: don't know what's going to happen. I know there's a
Speaker 3: pow wow happening this morning, which about eight hours from now,
Speaker 3: about seven o seven am in Moscow, to see what's
Speaker 3: going to happen. The next shooter drop. And lastly, before
Speaker 3: I go back to the calls, we have a call
Speaker 3: from Ohio and one from Michigan eight six six six
Speaker 3: four seven seven three three seven. The Harvard situation is
Speaker 3: more than interesting. It's almost like it is a trading ground,
Speaker 3: a madrasa organized against the Jewish people by Harvard and
Speaker 3: by Yale, and by Colombia and many other universities. In fact,
Speaker 3: in the nineteen nineties, it was common to have three
Speaker 3: to four percent of international students come to Harvard. It
Speaker 3: was the motto is a veritas truth, and so the
Speaker 3: best and brightest from America would go want to go
Speaker 3: to Harvard. I was proud to go to zab University.
Speaker 3: I was proud to go to University of Toledo Law School.
Speaker 3: But nonetheless I probably didn't have the chops to get
Speaker 3: into Harvard. But nonetheless I used to be forty percent
Speaker 3: right now it's four percent now it's thirty percent, and
Speaker 3: a great bulk of them, of course, are from China.
Speaker 3: Who are Chinese spies? And I like to have the
Speaker 3: president of Harvard what's his name, Gerber something rather Gerber,
Speaker 3: that somehow understand that Chinese students are here to steal
Speaker 3: and transmit information to the Communist Party or certain Middle
Speaker 3: Eastern students on student visus have turned Harvard into a
Speaker 3: Hamas recruiting center. Have you seen the video of Hamas
Speaker 3: students running around Harvard keeping Jews from going to class.
Speaker 3: I guess he's chosen sides the president. I think the
Speaker 3: president Gerber is Jewish, but he's rejected Donald Trump's doj
Speaker 3: and the American people who say, now, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: who are the students? Where are they coming from? Have
Speaker 3: you scrubbed their social media? Are they spies? Are they
Speaker 3: Hamas sympathizers? And by the way, aren't there less chances
Speaker 3: of an American kid going to Harvard if the thirty
Speaker 3: percent are foreign students?
Speaker 1: I would think so.
Speaker 3: And I think Garber has the burden of being Jewish
Speaker 3: so as to make sure he sticks it to Israel,
Speaker 3: then he has more cred. Unbelievable, another Jewish individual running
Speaker 3: a high government position is Governor Pritzker of Illinois, and
Speaker 3: he's a virulent anti Israel pro Hamas, anti Trump governor
Speaker 3: of Illinois, who, by the way, wants to be the
Speaker 3: next president. The motto of Harvard is Veritas, which means truth.
Speaker 3: If it was true, why would you allow Jewish kids
Speaker 3: on campus to fear for their lives going to classes
Speaker 3: and being surrounded acting as if they've done something wrong.
Speaker 3: This is in America by students that are here not
Speaker 3: as a right but as a privilege. And they come
Speaker 3: here and they organize madrasas against America, against Western democracies.
Speaker 3: And some of the worst aspects are, of course, females
Speaker 3: who are here from foreign lands, and they act as
Speaker 3: if America is not the home of the free, in
Speaker 3: the land of the brave. Well, try having your viewpoints
Speaker 3: expressed about alternative lifestyles in Egypt or Saudi Arabia. Watch
Speaker 3: what happens to those viewpoints and those other countries. It's
Speaker 3: incredible what's happening. And one of the speakers at the
Speaker 3: Divinity School at Harvard spoke of seventy seven years of
Speaker 3: Israeli genocide and know where to hide from the genocide
Speaker 3: of Israel just the opposite. The Jews are the ones
Speaker 3: who've been the victim of genocide. They're the ones trying
Speaker 3: to have a peaceful Middle East. They're the ones that
Speaker 3: cause the desert to flower. They're the ones that allow
Speaker 3: a multicultural, multi religious societies in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
Speaker 3: and most of Israel. They wan't live in peace. And
Speaker 3: it's unbelievable and it's the way things are. Let's go
Speaker 3: back to the calls and set up tonight rest of
Speaker 3: tonight's peak show at eleven thirty tonight, in about a
Speaker 3: half an hour or so, I have doctor Mark Scalson.
Speaker 3: We'll be here to talk about he's got a book out.
Speaker 3: You know, I call myself a great American. There's one
Speaker 3: the great American. The great American was Benjamin Franklin, and
Speaker 3: doctor Marcus Schalsen is an eighth generation descendant of Benjamin Franklin.
Speaker 3: I want to ask what Benjamin Franklin would think about
Speaker 3: our deficits are debt and about foreign terrorism. Also, later on,
Speaker 3: as the Great Thane Rosenbaum, about who's funding the protests
Speaker 3: on college campuses in favor of hamas. So many college
Speaker 3: campuses today are training grounds for Madrasas against Jews and
Speaker 3: against Western civilization. And also later on it's the great
Speaker 3: John Lott about arming one selves in these difficult times.
Speaker 3: And let's go to uh, We'll go to Youngstown, Ohio.
Speaker 3: The uh he's out, Alice, how correct?
Speaker 1: Alice? Al go ahead?
Speaker 12: Okay, how you doing?
Speaker 7: Bill?
Speaker 12: I got a question for you. How in the world
Speaker 12: did country ever gets so many traders in charge of
Speaker 12: our government, our colleges and everything else like that that
Speaker 12: have actually turned the heel against the founding fathers and
Speaker 12: the constitution and everything we took for. And as far
Speaker 12: as that police chief out there in Boulder, Colorado, right,
Speaker 12: and now I'm about I'm a Baptist preacher, and I'm
Speaker 12: saying this is a preacher too. They are the FBI
Speaker 12: ot to arrest that guy out there, that police chief,
Speaker 12: for helping terrorism and everything. Because when he turns like
Speaker 12: he's kissing their feet, you know, they're they're bombing people,
Speaker 12: they're they're burning people up, they're killing people. And then
Speaker 12: when the guy said he can't call that an act.
Speaker 4: We can't.
Speaker 3: We can't figure this thing out with the guy. We
Speaker 3: can't figure this out. After he was shouting free Palestine,
Speaker 3: free Palestine, he burned Jews, and he said that that
Speaker 3: he wanted to kill more Jews, and he used to
Speaker 3: improvise flamethrower and he killed Jews or tried to kill Jews,
Speaker 3: set them on fire. And the police chief of police,
Speaker 3: chief of Bolder can't figure this thing out.
Speaker 12: I mean, well, but about the Jewish people. In Genesis
Speaker 12: twelve two, God tells Abraham, I will bless them that
Speaker 12: bless thee, and curse them that curse thee. And then
Speaker 12: see and the old show all the nations of the
Speaker 12: world be blessed. Now that means if America turns their
Speaker 12: heel against the Jewish people, they're going to receive a
Speaker 12: curse from God for it. You know, the God, the
Speaker 12: God put.
Speaker 6: The Jews here.
Speaker 4: They're his people.
Speaker 12: If if they do wrong, He's gonna punish them. It's
Speaker 12: not our place to persecute and murder him and everything
Speaker 12: else like that. And you know that when Saddam Hussein
Speaker 12: was not Saddam Hussein, but Arapat was here. He was
Speaker 12: a chief terrorist of them all. And he said, first
Speaker 12: we kill all the Saturday people, and then we kill
Speaker 12: all the Sunday people, and then so that right there
Speaker 12: he's showing, first, we kill all the Jews, no matter what,
Speaker 12: if they do anything against us yor not. We kill
Speaker 12: all the Jews arriving men of the sea. And then
Speaker 12: we kill all the Christians, all the Sunday people is
Speaker 12: all the Christians. And the dumbest thing in the world
Speaker 12: is to see people in Christian America waving around pro
Speaker 12: Hamas terrorist flags, because if they helped Thomas kill all
Speaker 12: the Jews, then Hamas would turn around and kill them.
Speaker 12: And that's I mean, there's nobody dumber than a college
Speaker 12: student in America today waving around pro Palestine flags because
Speaker 12: the Jews were there way before the Palestinians were there.
Speaker 12: In fact, when Israel returned to Israel in nineteen forty
Speaker 12: eight Canaan, it looked like a corrupt goat pasture with
Speaker 12: a few nomad tribes going through there. And when the
Speaker 12: surrounding countries found out that Jews were coming back to Israel,
Speaker 12: they pushed the refuge the people in their countries. They
Speaker 12: pushed the lowest class into those into Israel from the
Speaker 12: surrounding countries and ordered them to go stay there and
Speaker 12: be a stone in the shoe of the Jewish people
Speaker 12: coming back there. Palestine was never an Arab state, never ever.
Speaker 12: In fact, it was curved black in nineteen thirteen b C.
Speaker 12: That God told Abraham to go to the land that
Speaker 12: we call Israel today, that he was given it to
Speaker 12: him and that his seat forever. And you know, this
Speaker 12: country needs to get some backbone. And the whole Democrat
Speaker 12: Party is like an anti christ, anti America group of
Speaker 12: people that are doing everything they can every day to
Speaker 12: destroy this country and give it over to its enemies.
Speaker 12: But what these idiots don't realize is even if they
Speaker 12: were successful in doing that, then those very enemies that
Speaker 12: they're helping overthrow America to are going to turn on them.
Speaker 12: That's what ever Fat said. First we kill the Jews,
Speaker 12: and then they're going to kill everybody that helps them
Speaker 12: kill the Jews, all the Americans, Christians and everybody else.
Speaker 12: So we need to get some backbone. We need to
Speaker 12: turn to God, get right with God as the country,
Speaker 12: and support the Jews if we want God's blessing.
Speaker 3: That's all I got to I'll say this that the
Speaker 3: Balder police chief said it would be irresponsible to call
Speaker 3: this a target of act of terror number one.
Speaker 12: Everything that they ever made him a police chief in
Speaker 12: a police place to make it responsible.
Speaker 1: I don't want him investigating anything nothing.
Speaker 12: No, you know, if that terrorist did that to his
Speaker 12: family or any of his relatives, he wouldn't be kissing
Speaker 12: the guy's feet. Now, I hope he wouldn't be anyway.
Speaker 3: Well, the fact that the chief's name is Stephen redfirm.
Speaker 3: He refused to call it an act of terrorism, claiming
Speaker 3: it would be irresponsible because he's terriorily to speculate.
Speaker 1: On a motive.
Speaker 3: Number one, attack Jewish people. Number two, it was a
Speaker 3: pro Israel, a little bit of a rally. Number three.
Speaker 3: His name is Mohammed Solomon. Number four, he's here illegally.
Speaker 3: Number five. He burned Jews. But he can't figure it out.
Speaker 3: And he's saying free Palestine. Free Palestine's taking the place
Speaker 3: of hol Hitler. It used to be hol Hitler, now
Speaker 3: it's free Palestine. I'm thinking if Chief Redfern can't figure
Speaker 3: that out, they should get a different police chief.
Speaker 12: Make it that police chiefs, and that the terrorism on
Speaker 12: the American people right there.
Speaker 3: Well, all right, thanks for your call, reverend, thank you,
Speaker 3: let's continue. I hope he changes his opinion at some point.
Speaker 3: There's a few clues there Sherlock figure that one out. Nonetheless,
Speaker 3: let's continue and the line becomes available at eight sixty
Speaker 3: six six four seven seven three three seven. And you know,
Speaker 3: if there were thousands and thousands of college students who
Speaker 3: have no right to be in college, it's a privileged
Speaker 3: the university. It's even more of a privilege to be
Speaker 3: a foreign student. There's no right to be here. You
Speaker 3: don't have a right to go to Harvard, or right
Speaker 3: to go to UCLA, or right to go to University
Speaker 3: of Texas. By the way, Austin, Texas is the San
Speaker 3: Francisco of Texas. That's a different story. You have no
Speaker 3: right to be a student in a particular place. I
Speaker 3: can only imagine if on college campuses today there was
Speaker 3: large factions of the ku Klux Klan running around using
Speaker 3: the N word, how long they'd be a student at Harvard.
Speaker 3: It wouldn't last at all. They'd be gone. You have
Speaker 3: no right to be a student. And hate speech, by
Speaker 3: the way, is protected by the First Amendment, but that
Speaker 3: kind of behavior, you'll be expelled. You can say those things,
Speaker 3: but there's consequences and so but somehow the model now
Speaker 3: Free Palestine is taking the place of Hal Hitler and
Speaker 3: I don't get it. I don't understand that my boss
Speaker 3: is a Jewish carpenter and the Jewish people are special,
Speaker 3: and what they've done with the desert in the Middle
Speaker 3: East is truly incredible and unbelieve a multi dimensional, multi
Speaker 3: religious Western style democracy in which is Islamist and Muslims
Speaker 3: are in the Kanessean about a quarter of the Kanessean
Speaker 3: are Muslims. They're Muslims and Islamists who are judges. You
Speaker 3: get elected, you do your job, pay your taxes and
Speaker 3: move on. But that's not the case. And any other
Speaker 3: Muslim Arab country in which Jews have been ordered out
Speaker 3: and the Christians, by the way, are being beheaded and
Speaker 3: killed in Syria and many Islamic countries in Africa, and
Speaker 3: there's little or no publicity for that is there doesn't
Speaker 3: fit the media narrative, so it's not even talked about.
Speaker 3: And CNN did not want to call it a terror attack.
Speaker 3: It did not sit well with CNN when the FBI
Speaker 3: called it a terror attack, because the police chief said
Speaker 3: it's irresponsible to call it an attack on a terror
Speaker 3: attack or a hate crime, which obviously it didn't take
Speaker 3: a rocket scientist to figure out what's going on here.
Speaker 3: Let's continue. We got many calls, let's get to them.
Speaker 3: We'll ant call will be from Nashville, and then from Cincinnati, Ohio,
Speaker 3: twenty minutes after the hour. Get ready for Monday, Tuesday,
Speaker 3: Wednesday's going to be wild. I can only imagine the
Speaker 3: response of Vladimir Putin to what the successful raid on
Speaker 3: five different Russian Air Force bases is going to be
Speaker 3: the next few days. I can't conceive of it, and
Speaker 3: I just wish well to the Ukrainian people who are
Speaker 3: fighting bravely against insurmountable odds. Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday.
Speaker 3: Let's continue now, A call from Nashville and David and Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 1: David, how are you.
Speaker 7: I'm doing fantastic. I was going to try to make
Speaker 7: three points and one time really a point. It's a
Speaker 7: great joke, a Baptist joke. So I'm calling from Nashville. Yes,
Speaker 7: the Bible Belt of Christianity.
Speaker 5: I love.
Speaker 1: I've been there twice. I love Nashville.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: So he's going with that thing. I'm not sure where
Speaker 3: I wanted to go. I have no idea, but nonetheless,
Speaker 3: we're not talking about Baptis having sex standing up, whatever
Speaker 3: that is. I don't want to hear it. I don't
Speaker 3: want to hear the punch line. One last thing is
Speaker 3: that CNN once again embarrassed itself. They put on disgraced
Speaker 3: FBI director Andrew McCabe and also another female I forget
Speaker 3: her name, Juliet sum or other, in which they questioned
Speaker 3: whether or not it was wise for the FBI to
Speaker 3: call it quickly an active terror. Well, the terror attack
Speaker 3: was he was the terrorists shouted anti Israeli rhetoric. He
Speaker 3: yelled free Palestine, Free Palestine, as he tries to try
Speaker 3: to burn Jews alive. Five are fighting for their lives.
Speaker 3: Six are fighting for their lives. His name is Mohammed Solomon.
Speaker 3: He's from Egypt. But a CNN says, let's not jump
Speaker 3: to any conclusions, and uh, of course, using uh molotov
Speaker 3: cocktails and improvised blow torches and flamethrowers is evidence of
Speaker 3: something I think that might border on terrorism and night speech,
Speaker 3: but not according to guess what CNN Deputy Director Andrew
Speaker 3: McCabe is questioning whether or not a Palestinian burns people
Speaker 3: alive in Colorado while shouting en Zionist, and CNN is
Speaker 3: currently having a meltdown over the FBI labeling labeling in
Speaker 3: in active terrorism. What an NBC News is calling them
Speaker 3: Gaza hostiage awareness marchers, that those who were burned victims
Speaker 3: of personal arson. NBC News says their Gaza hostage awareness marchers,
Speaker 3: I eat Jews being burned. And the media has a
Speaker 3: hard time saying, now, let's not rush to a conclusion here, unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Let's continue in a few minutes. Here we have doctor
Speaker 3: Mark Skalson's gonna join us. He's written a book I
Speaker 3: call myself a great American. His great great great great
Speaker 3: great grandfather was Benjamin Franklin, who is a book out,
Speaker 3: The Greatest American. And later on is Thane Rosenbaum, who
Speaker 3: has some ideas about what's happened to our major college
Speaker 3: campuses that want to educate Chinese kids and those with
Speaker 3: Hamas sympathies, but not American kids. For every ford and
Speaker 3: student into a so called elite university, an American kid
Speaker 3: is not getting in. And also leadter on is John Lott,
Speaker 3: the great John Lott, to talk about these data which
Speaker 3: seems to indicate that as an American, if you arm yourself,
Speaker 3: armed Americans rightfully carrying guns on the Second Amendment, guess
Speaker 3: what break up more acts of terror than actual police
Speaker 3: who come maybe five or ten minutes later. So those
Speaker 3: that's that's coming up tonight. But I've said to you,
Speaker 3: you and I think agreed the last few Sunday nights,
Speaker 3: I just I send something bad is going to happen.
Speaker 3: Good stuff's going on. The economy is in good shape. Employment,
Speaker 3: hiring is up, real wages are up, Inflation is down,
Speaker 3: and according to Speaker of the House Michael Mike Johnson,
Speaker 3: the so called medicaid cuts come at the expense of
Speaker 3: those who should not be on medicaid in the first place.
Speaker 3: One point four million are illegals on medicaid using false
Speaker 3: ID information. They should not be on medicaid at all.
Speaker 3: It's got those issues percolating and more. But I hope
Speaker 3: the the situation in Ukraine calms down. A very successful
Speaker 3: attack by Vladimir by Zelensky on five Russian Air Force
Speaker 3: bases taking taking out they claim thirty percent of the
Speaker 3: air force of the of the Russian Air Force. Several
Speaker 3: hours ago we'll see what comes of that in the
Speaker 3: day said, stay tuned for more. The line becomes available
Speaker 3: eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven,
Speaker 3: Stay tuned for more.
Speaker 1: CNN Get a life.
Speaker 3: Bill Cunningham, the Great American with you and all great
Speaker 3: Americans every sun. You know, Bill Cunningham, the Great American.
Speaker 3: Of course, we're going to celebrate a little bit of
Speaker 3: time here at about the year or so, the two
Speaker 3: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this greatest country. Despite all
Speaker 3: the problems, despite all the debt, despite all the terrorism
Speaker 3: taking place like in and around Colorado, spread despite all
Speaker 3: the difficulties in the world, I'd rather have these problems
Speaker 3: in any of the problems other countries have had. And
Speaker 3: the founding of this republic was largely occasioned by brilliant
Speaker 3: Americans who came together with an idea that shining city
Speaker 3: on the hill, and I think largely has been met.
Speaker 3: Of course, the greatest of those Americans was Benjamin Franklin.
Speaker 3: Jonan you and I now is one of his descendants.
Speaker 3: Doctor Mark Skalson has written the book The Greatest American.
Speaker 3: I call myself by mistake, a great American. Compared to
Speaker 3: Benjamin Franklin the greatest American But doctor Mark Skalson a
Speaker 3: direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin. Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 3: And doctor, first of all, tell me, uh, maybe a
Speaker 3: factor two you spell out of your life wife and
Speaker 3: your wife also studying about Benjamin Franklin because of your
Speaker 3: blood lineage. But what was one or two facts you
Speaker 3: were a bit surprised concerning? Then we're going to talk
Speaker 3: about the national debt, political division, executive overreach. But in
Speaker 3: all your research, what's a couple of things surprised you
Speaker 3: about your ancestor?
Speaker 9: Well, I'll tell you.
Speaker 13: One of the things that I did as a direct
Speaker 13: descendant of the grand old Man was that I completed
Speaker 13: his autobiography. I did this back in the three hundredth
Speaker 13: anniversary of his birth, so that was back in twenty
Speaker 13: two thousand and six, and I discovered a number of
Speaker 13: things that I didn't know before. One is that he
Speaker 13: had only one illegitimate child. Now, a lot of people
Speaker 13: think that he was a womanizer and constantly having sex
Speaker 13: with who knows how many women, and I think I kind.
Speaker 9: Of dispelled that notion.
Speaker 13: The problem was that his lone son, William, also had
Speaker 13: an illegitimate child, and his son had an illegitimate child.
Speaker 13: So were the three generations of illegitimate children in the
Speaker 13: Franklin line, And so I think there's that's where that
Speaker 13: rumor got started. He also has been criticized for abandoning
Speaker 13: his wife when he went to London as a London
Speaker 13: agent seventeen fifty seven. But what really happened was his
Speaker 13: wife had an extreme aversion to going out on the
Speaker 13: waters on these ships that would take a month to
Speaker 13: get to Europe.
Speaker 9: And the fact is that.
Speaker 13: It's kind of like those who are afraid to get
Speaker 13: on airplanes these days. So her version was so strong
Speaker 13: that they did kind of become a strange to some extent.
Speaker 13: I mean, they exchanged letters and so forth. But that
Speaker 13: was one of the things I discovered. The second thing
Speaker 13: I discovered which really surprised me, he was known as
Speaker 13: a heretic from a religious point of view.
Speaker 9: He was not a church goer, and he was considered
Speaker 9: what we'd.
Speaker 13: Call a dist you know, where you God winds up
Speaker 13: the clock and just let's says run and doesn't really interfere. However,
Speaker 13: at the end of his life he became a believing theorist, theist.
Speaker 9: That is, he believed that God intervened.
Speaker 13: In the affairs of men so that the American, the
Speaker 13: Americans would win the deck the independence from Britain.
Speaker 9: So he made changes in his life.
Speaker 13: He used to own slaves, and then he became the
Speaker 13: president of the first Pennsylvania Society to abolish slavery, so
Speaker 13: he became an abolitionist at the end of his life.
Speaker 13: So there's a lot of things where he changed his mind.
Speaker 13: So I've given you several examples of how he developed.
Speaker 13: His mind changed in so many ways. I'll give you
Speaker 13: one other example.
Speaker 9: In the beginning, when he was a.
Speaker 13: Printer in Philadelphia in the seventeen thirties, he wrote a
Speaker 13: pamphlet boarding the idea that we should print money, we
Speaker 13: should have issued money, and the printing of the money
Speaker 13: would help stimulate commerce. So he was kind of an
Speaker 13: inflationist in his early years, and he actually got the
Speaker 13: job to print the money. So he's kind of a
Speaker 13: bit of a crony capitalist back then. But then in
Speaker 13: the American Revolution, he saw the dangers of printing too
Speaker 13: much money and he became an anti inflationist and did
Speaker 13: not like, you know, not as worth continental.
Speaker 9: Back in those days.
Speaker 13: So there's a lot of things that really surprised me
Speaker 13: about Franklin'm glad you brought up that question on.
Speaker 1: The national debt.
Speaker 3: Your forbear said, quote, A virtuous and industrious people may
Speaker 3: be cheaply governed, directly challenging today's fiscal irresponsibility. Despite the
Speaker 3: efforts of Donald Trump and the Republican a cutback on
Speaker 3: federal spending. In reality, I'm not talking about the media coverage.
Speaker 3: In reality, government spending's going up under Donald Trump, and
Speaker 3: we're going to continue to borrow two trillion dollars a
Speaker 3: year as far as the eye can see. What would
Speaker 3: your ancestor, Benjamin Franklin say about the United States of
Speaker 3: America that owns owes at this point thirty seven trillion dollars.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure you could imagine what a trillion was. Well,
Speaker 3: each trillion is a thousand billion billions, So we're talking
Speaker 3: some serious money, and by the time the Trumpster gets done,
Speaker 3: we're gonna owe forty five trillion dollars. What would he
Speaker 3: say about a national debt currently a thirty seven trillion
Speaker 3: on its way to fifty trillion dollars? What would Benjamin
Speaker 3: Franklin say about that?
Speaker 13: Well, he actually hoped. She said, you know, I lived
Speaker 13: at the wrong time of my life. I would have
Speaker 13: preferred to have lived two or three centuries later, because
Speaker 13: then I would be able to witness all the wonderful
Speaker 13: advances that America would enjoy. And he was a big technologist,
Speaker 13: you know, he was a scientist, He was an inventor.
Speaker 13: So he would be pleased, of course, with the high
Speaker 13: standard of living, the new technologies.
Speaker 9: He would be using a cell.
Speaker 13: Phone, he'd be using the internet, he'd be texting, he'd
Speaker 13: be doing all of these things. But he would be
Speaker 13: appalled by the size and scope of government, the national debt.
Speaker 9: He said, one of the things that we need to
Speaker 9: do is to.
Speaker 13: Make sure that we take care of our debt and reduce,
Speaker 13: if not eliminated. He was not a big fan of
Speaker 13: open ended borrowing and so forth.
Speaker 9: Now he was. He did defend Alexander.
Speaker 13: Hamilton and the issuing of debt to cover the expenses
Speaker 13: of the states.
Speaker 9: You know, they issued.
Speaker 13: This federal debt that included all the state debts. It
Speaker 13: was very controversy at the time, but turned out to
Speaker 13: be very successful. It was over subscribed six to one,
Speaker 13: and within a generation the national debt was paid for
Speaker 13: with the sinking fund. This was Hamilton's idea, and Franklin
Speaker 13: was a big fan of a sinking fund.
Speaker 9: That is, you have the.
Speaker 13: The tariffs and the other forms of fees to pay
Speaker 13: off the debt. He was a big fan of paying
Speaker 13: off your debt. And he was also a big fan
Speaker 13: of you know, he lived during very difficult times. You
Speaker 13: had depressions, you had bank crisis, you had inflation, you
Speaker 13: had war.
Speaker 9: He lived through all of that and he died a
Speaker 9: wealthy man.
Speaker 13: Why because during the good years he always kept within
Speaker 13: his expenses, he kept reducing his debt. He had rental properties,
Speaker 13: he had bank accounts in three countries. He had gold
Speaker 13: and silver, so he was he had a well diversified portfolio,
Speaker 13: and he's always living within his means. And he believed
Speaker 13: government should be the same. He said, there's great revenue
Speaker 13: in economy. There's much revenue in economy, and no revenue
Speaker 13: is sufficient without economy. So I applaud daw doge that
Speaker 13: Elon Musk was involved in and the President encouraged.
Speaker 9: But unfortunately it's turned out to be a bit of
Speaker 9: a dad government.
Speaker 13: They found they weren't They wanted to reduce government spending
Speaker 13: by two trillion dollars, and they ended up with half
Speaker 13: a trade in or something.
Speaker 9: If they're able to make any changes, I mean, I mus.
Speaker 13: Left discourage, very discouraged by the entrence nature of governments,
Speaker 13: kind of like unions. Once they get control of things,
Speaker 13: it's really hard to break the unions.
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't note he's the only president on a
Speaker 3: bill at one hundred dollars bill him, I call him
Speaker 3: Benji's Nonetheless, he lived a rifle o at age of
Speaker 3: eighty four at two things I would have changed in
Speaker 3: the Constitution if you can go back in time to
Speaker 3: your great great, great great great great grandfather and tell
Speaker 3: him to put in the constitution no annual deficit financially
Speaker 3: for the government unless approved by two thirds House, two
Speaker 3: thirds of the Senate, and term limits for the Congress,
Speaker 3: which will never happen. I think Benjamin Franklin would have
Speaker 3: loved those amendments. How active was he in seventeen eighty seven,
Speaker 3: He was. He died a couple of years later. Declaration
Speaker 3: of Independence. He was involved, he was involved in the
Speaker 3: Constitutional Convention. I'm not sure how much contributions he had
Speaker 3: in seventeen eighty seven, seventeen eighty eight. But would he
Speaker 3: agree with was there any debate about the notion to
Speaker 3: to say that every year that the nation cannot borrow
Speaker 3: without two thirds of the House, two thirds of the
Speaker 3: Senate for war or something like that some national catastrophe.
Speaker 3: Right now, we're not in a national catastrophe, and we
Speaker 3: borrow six billion dollars every day, a brand new money,
Speaker 3: which adds up to about two trillion dollars a year.
Speaker 3: And he thought about putting those things in the Constitution.
Speaker 13: Well at the end of the Constitution convention. And he
Speaker 13: was involved because he was a diplomat, of course, ken
Speaker 13: Burns says he's America's greatest diplomat, and I think that's correct.
Speaker 13: And he was able to finance. He was the one
Speaker 13: who was the primary fundraiser getting the French to support
Speaker 13: the American Revolution. Then when he came home after the war,
Speaker 13: he was very much involved in Philadelphia with the Constitutional Convention,
Speaker 13: and he was a compromiser and one of the ones
Speaker 13: that he supported was the Connecticut compromise where the Senate
Speaker 13: was representing the states and the House representing the people
Speaker 13: direct election. So he helped engineer that compromise, and at
Speaker 13: the end he said, listen, the Constitution isn't perfect.
Speaker 9: We all know that. It's very difficult.
Speaker 13: And you put gathered together men of different interests and
Speaker 13: means and so on, the South and the North, and
Speaker 13: the slave issues and all of these things that had
Speaker 13: had to deal with in the Constitution. So he realized
Speaker 13: that this was as he told the lady at the
Speaker 13: end of the convention, what kind of government do we have? Well,
Speaker 13: we have a republic if you can keep it. And
Speaker 13: what he meant by that was representative government.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 13: And they did agree to add the Bill of Rights,
Speaker 13: which I think was important.
Speaker 9: But you know, Article one, Article one.
Speaker 13: Section eight of the Constitution identifies what the purposes are
Speaker 13: of Congress, and of course tax the ability to tack
Speaker 13: to impose tariffs to the spending bills and so forth.
Speaker 13: That was what Congress could do. And then the other
Speaker 13: sections like nine and ten were limits on the Constitution
Speaker 13: and limits on Congress, and one of them was that
Speaker 13: there would be no tariffs between states. So you had
Speaker 13: this huge free trade zone that developed, which.
Speaker 9: Was hugely successful. So that was very good.
Speaker 13: But no, there was no consideration of limits on taxation
Speaker 13: and limits on.
Speaker 9: Spending and so forth. Those you know, the limit was,
Speaker 9: of course, you.
Speaker 13: Needed two thirds to pass Congress. You had not only
Speaker 13: pass both houses, but also the president's veto. You had
Speaker 13: to had all of those factors at work for the
Speaker 13: balance of power between the executive, even the.
Speaker 9: Judicial and the legislature. So he thought that was sufficient.
Speaker 13: So he would he would probably favor some of the
Speaker 13: limitations you're talking about today, because.
Speaker 9: Wanted chief government.
Speaker 13: Like you say, virtuous, industrious people may be chiefly governed.
Speaker 9: And do we have chief government today?
Speaker 13: I think you're a Democrat or Republican you would say, no,
Speaker 13: we don't have chief government.
Speaker 3: All right, we have about minute remaining, Doctor Mark Schelson,
Speaker 3: who's a descendant of Benjamin Franklin. If Benjamin Franklin's in
Speaker 3: heaven above and I assume he is looking down, how
Speaker 3: would he view his handiwork? With the two hundred and
Speaker 3: fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence next July July fourth,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, have about minute remaining? How would he
Speaker 3: look down upon this great country? Would he be proud?
Speaker 3: Would it be concerned?
Speaker 1: What would he be?
Speaker 9: I think it would be both.
Speaker 13: He thought America would become a great and happy nation.
Speaker 13: He saw America as the promised land. He was critical
Speaker 13: of thekers, the croakers, the people who constantly complained and
Speaker 13: looked at only the negatives that are happening in the
Speaker 13: United States. He would recognize the goodness, basic goodness of people,
Speaker 13: their honesty and integrity, and look, American exceptionalism is still
Speaker 13: alive and well so in my book called the Greatest American,
Speaker 13: the Greatest American. Frankly, and by the way, my book
Speaker 13: is not just a typical biography. I go there's eighty
Speaker 13: chapters and they each one go into different views and
Speaker 13: how they would apply today. So I encourage people to
Speaker 13: get a copy of this book. It's a very unique book.
Speaker 13: It's not your typical from beginning to end story, but
Speaker 13: by various topics, including a chapter on his sex life,
Speaker 13: which I think would be a very popular chapter.
Speaker 3: Well, he was, among other things, he was a millionaire.
Speaker 3: He was a writer, he was a scientist, he was
Speaker 3: an inventor, he was a statesman, he was a diplomat,
Speaker 3: he was a printer, he was a publisher who was
Speaker 3: a philosopher, and he was the most respected of the
Speaker 3: founding fathers by the other founding Fathers.
Speaker 1: It was always what would Benjamin Franklin say? What is he?
Speaker 3: He would have been the president if he was born
Speaker 3: maybe thirty years later, but by a time George Washington
Speaker 3: took over, he was like eighty two eighty three years old,
Speaker 3: which in today's terms might be about one hundred and ten.
Speaker 3: But doctor Mark Skalson, we got to run. The book
Speaker 3: is the greatest American. It is everywhere, and thank God
Speaker 3: we've had men like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton,
Speaker 3: both Adams and Samuel Adams had them at Locke at
Speaker 3: the right time. God sent the right men to start
Speaker 3: this nation on the course. And it's the Republic if
Speaker 3: we can keep it. And doctor Marcus Scoutson, once again,
Speaker 3: thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. From one
Speaker 3: Great American to the greatest American Benjamin Franklin, Doctor Scoutson,
Speaker 3: thanks for coming on the show.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Thank you, thank you, and be free,
Speaker 1: God bless America.
Speaker 3: Let's continue with more. The greatest American Benjamin Franklin and
Speaker 3: his sex life was historical, which you have to get
Speaker 3: to the book to understand. But let's continue with more.
Speaker 3: Bill Cunningham, the great American. And by the way, there's
Speaker 3: more information coming out on the terrible events in Boulder, Colorado.
Speaker 3: It was an Egyptian national who came into the country
Speaker 3: about three about three years ago and overstayed his visa
Speaker 3: by two and a half years, shouting Free Palestine as
Speaker 3: he set on fire innocent men and women in Boulder,
Speaker 3: Colorado several hours ago. Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday night.
Speaker 3: Billy Cunningham, one can only imagine put me in charge
Speaker 3: at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, and the two things
Speaker 3: you have to add would be one, there.
Speaker 1: Can be no yearly annual.
Speaker 3: Deficit unless approved by two thirds now two thirds of
Speaker 3: the Senate, because you can't try politicians not to act
Speaker 3: like politicians, and everyone to cut anything. And wanted to
Speaker 3: increase spending on everything. And it's said that I had
Speaker 3: great hopes that with Donald Trump and the White House
Speaker 3: and so called conservatives and House in the Senate, we
Speaker 3: quit borrowing two trillion dollars every year. It's coming down
Speaker 3: to about one hundred and forty billion and a year.
Speaker 3: By the time they get done increasing spending on the military,
Speaker 3: that's going to be a drop in the bucket. So
Speaker 3: no matter what else happens during the four years of
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's second term, we're going to borrow about eight
Speaker 3: trillion dollars more, getting the national cumulat national debt up
Speaker 3: to forty five trillion dollars, which shall we say, is
Speaker 3: more than unsustainable.
Speaker 1: Well, let's continue with more. Coming up next.
Speaker 3: As an expert on the Middle East and the moss
Speaker 3: was going on in the campuses, Dane Rosenbaum is going
Speaker 3: to be here terrible events in Boulder several hours ago
Speaker 3: in which an improvised flamethrower was used to set on
Speaker 3: fire six people between The age is about sixty seven
Speaker 3: and eighty eight. So let's continue with more. Bill cunning
Speaker 3: under Great America with you every Sunday.
Speaker 11: No Willie.
Speaker 2: The Ball brough 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.
Speaker 11: Hotels dot com.
Speaker 2: Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best,
Speaker 2: the recipient of not one but two prestigious Marconi Awards
Speaker 2: for his broadcast.
Speaker 11: Excellence, The one and only Bill cunninghad.
Speaker 3: Bill Cunningham the Great American of course day by day
Speaker 3: by day it appears according to the Trump administration, there's
Speaker 3: some sort of idea that the MOO laws, the hate
Speaker 3: filled leaders of Iran who demand the killing of Jews
Speaker 3: and Westerners wherever they might be located, somehow we're going
Speaker 3: to have a deal with them, and somehow the leaders
Speaker 3: of Iran are going to say, Okay, you can inspect
Speaker 3: all of our nuclear facilities. I don't believe it's going
Speaker 3: to happen. I think justice delayed will be justice denied.
Speaker 3: But a week or two ago, of course, the DC
Speaker 3: murders of the Darling couple happened outside the Israeli embassy,
Speaker 3: and it was a cesspool that developed on college campuses.
Speaker 3: The last a year or two, I think the anti
Speaker 3: Semitism at Columbia and at Harvard and Yale and many
Speaker 3: college campuses marching around repeatedly. We have a Jewish congressman
Speaker 3: in my part of the world here named Greg Lansman,
Speaker 3: who's a Democrat, but nonetheless he cannot appear in public
Speaker 3: without being encircled by how moss channing radicals. And to
Speaker 3: my way of thinking, uh, from the from the from
Speaker 3: the river to the sea, and uh, you know, Palestine
Speaker 3: must be free is the new Hyle Hitler expressed on
Speaker 3: college campuses, and this metastasizing of violence must be stopped.
Speaker 5: Fine.
Speaker 1: Rosenbaum is a.
Speaker 3: Distinguished University Professor at Toro University's the CBS News Radio
Speaker 3: Analysts written on the subject quite often, and once again,
Speaker 3: uh Thane Rosenbaum, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. How
Speaker 3: predictive in your opinion thing was the last several months
Speaker 3: or a year or two of the disgusting behavior in
Speaker 3: college campuses by how mass supporters who burn gays alive
Speaker 3: and treat women like chattel slaves. And I wish some
Speaker 3: of the protesters would go over there and find out
Speaker 3: how women are treated in Syria or Lebanon or Jordan
Speaker 3: and find out the truth. But uh uh the DC
Speaker 3: shooter was shouting, uh, free free Palestine. How does the
Speaker 3: campus rhetoric cause deadly consequences all across the world and
Speaker 3: tipically in Washington, DC?
Speaker 14: Well, Bill, first, thank you for having me on your show.
Speaker 10: It's a great show, and you're a great voice. You know,
Speaker 10: we simply normalized anti commatism. If you scream stuff loud
Speaker 10: enough and you drown everyone else out, and you're ignorant,
Speaker 10: and you don't read anything, and you haven't traveled, and
Speaker 10: you don't know your history, and you're.
Speaker 14: Just running around like a stooge screaming.
Speaker 10: You know, we're globalizing into fouda bill is if I
Speaker 10: said to you, I was opposed to say, you know,
Speaker 10: racial preference in the United States, and the way I
Speaker 10: wanted to.
Speaker 14: Express myself is to run around screaming lynch blacks, lynch blacks,
Speaker 14: lynch blacks.
Speaker 10: I want to scream that I have a free speech
Speaker 10: right to say that, and that's the way I want
Speaker 10: to express myself about that political idea right. But I
Speaker 10: don't mean lynch blacks. I just want to say lynch blacks,
Speaker 10: and I want you to believe that. I think it
Speaker 10: means something else. It's about a policy difference. Globalize Antipada
Speaker 10: means exactly.
Speaker 5: What it means.
Speaker 14: Take the killing of Jews in the Intafada.
Speaker 10: In Israel and globalize it wherever you find them kill them.
Speaker 10: So the fact that university presidents that all we believe
Speaker 10: in academic freedom, we believe in free speech, I always say, really,
Speaker 10: like lynch blacks, you'd be cool with that?
Speaker 14: How long would anyone last on American campus literally literally.
Speaker 10: Last I think they would be shot to scream something
Speaker 10: like that and to be claiming a First Amendment right.
Speaker 10: And you're right, from the river to the sea talestein Monty, free,
Speaker 10: free of what, free of Jews, because that's what's there.
Speaker 14: Between the river and the sea Jews.
Speaker 10: So the language that are screamed by inflements, they know
Speaker 10: exactly what it means. The imbeciles on campus probably don't
Speaker 10: or do. And I will say that America has been
Speaker 10: insulated this.
Speaker 14: So when you said, God, I wish these people would go.
Speaker 10: To Riot or Raman or by route or places and
Speaker 10: check it out.
Speaker 14: See what Tehran is like, and see what.
Speaker 10: It's like for queers, for Palestine, what it would look
Speaker 10: like for homosexual or for women who wanted to drive
Speaker 10: a car by herself, or wanted to become educated.
Speaker 14: You know, in many of.
Speaker 10: The Islement societies, two thirds of the women are literate.
Speaker 14: They're not taught to read. Right, this is on university campuses.
Speaker 9: You're cheering for that.
Speaker 10: Let me say this, Bill, and I let me just
Speaker 10: mention my new book, Beyond Proportionality, Israel's just.
Speaker 14: War in Gaza.
Speaker 10: It is a legal and moral defense of Israel's war
Speaker 10: in Gaza, and it's filled with cultural references, biblical references,
Speaker 10: and naturally the international laws, legal conventions, the laws.
Speaker 14: Of armed conflict.
Speaker 10: It takes your right through it if you read it
Speaker 10: calmly instead of people screaming the word genocide at you.
Speaker 10: Just read my book over weekend and you go, a right,
Speaker 10: I got everything I need to know.
Speaker 14: I know exactly what's going on here.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you.
Speaker 3: I tell you the one little factoid which I think
Speaker 3: is illustrative of the lack of understanding when these college
Speaker 3: campuses and other city protests occur. About two thirds of
Speaker 3: those doing it are white, educated females who need some
Speaker 3: calls greater than themselves. And I would point out that
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of the females in Egypt, which is
Speaker 3: perceived to be kind of an advanced Islamic society Egypt,
Speaker 3: have sexual mutilation of their private parts clittorial extraction. That's
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of the females when they have their
Speaker 3: first period are sexually mutilated.
Speaker 1: In the name of Islam.
Speaker 3: Now, I'd like an educated white female at Columbia or
Speaker 3: Harvard or Yale, tell me how you want to advocate
Speaker 3: for that society that we're going to have c literal
Speaker 3: extraction when you have your first period. And most of
Speaker 3: the Islamic world, women have no rights that a man
Speaker 3: has to follow. In fact, they have less than human rights.
Speaker 3: And many Islamic societies in Africa, when the girl reaches
Speaker 3: the age eight nine or ten, the father sells the
Speaker 3: female child to someone else for profit. And I want
Speaker 3: to know how that fits into the idea of Columbia
Speaker 3: and Harvard and Yale and the educated white females. How
Speaker 3: does that fit in saying to their way of thinking.
Speaker 14: Well, you only ask that though, and you said that so.
Speaker 10: Well, if you told someone that you were on a
Speaker 10: university campus, and you just told someone that six thousand people,
Speaker 10: four thousand terrorists, two thousand civilians ran across another nation
Speaker 10: and went to a music festival filled with only college
Speaker 10: age kids who were peace loving knows that knows, piercings
Speaker 10: and tattoos. They had just spent the night listening to music.
Speaker 14: They were not religious fanatics. They were people listening to rock.
Speaker 10: Music right their age, their age, and that the girls
Speaker 10: were gang raped in front of their boyfriends and friends,
Speaker 10: and then machine gun fire was shot into their vaginas
Speaker 10: and many of their breasts were removed by knives, and
Speaker 10: babies from local kiboutin from villages were thrown into ovens
Speaker 10: right and other people were beheaded.
Speaker 14: If you told someone.
Speaker 10: That, and you told it to people on campus, they
Speaker 10: would go nuts, say would go what this.
Speaker 14: Happened to people that were in a rock concert.
Speaker 10: We need to get over there and make our voices
Speaker 10: heard in northern Egypt and demand to see hamas leaders.
Speaker 10: Everyone needs to be punished. Who was responsible for that?
Speaker 10: So how that switch got flipped? If you told them
Speaker 10: on Wait a minute, you need to say, these.
Speaker 14: Were people that looked like you.
Speaker 10: Listened to the same music like you, had the same
Speaker 10: nose piercings like you, and they were gang race and
Speaker 10: you're cheering for the people who did that. You're on
Speaker 10: campus cheering for barbarians, for people that burned children, that
Speaker 10: gang rape girls. Bill are you you must be sitting right.
Speaker 10: People don't realize some of those girls that have been
Speaker 10: gang raped when they were done and killed, their.
Speaker 14: Corpses was gang raped.
Speaker 10: There are video of this, and there's testimonies from the
Speaker 10: people that perpetrated the crimes. After she was killed, we
Speaker 10: raped her again, there is only one word for that, barbarians.
Speaker 10: So how could anyone on campus say, by any means necessary, really, really,
Speaker 10: any means necessary, firing machine guns into girls that have
Speaker 10: just been raped. So yes, it's utter madness. You're dealing
Speaker 10: a part of the world where there are no human rights,
Speaker 10: women's rights, gay rights, people get killed, you know, under
Speaker 10: Islamic societies for not believing in the Islam apostates for anything, sitting.
Speaker 14: In a car with a man and listening to music,
Speaker 14: that's it.
Speaker 10: Sixty five sixty five lashings. They believe in beheadings, dismemberments.
Speaker 10: There's only one people on this planet bill that behead
Speaker 10: that's get one people Islamists.
Speaker 14: They love it, they enjoy it, and they do it.
Speaker 10: And yet we're cheering on the beheaders. And that's what
Speaker 10: shows you the kind of real moral inversion that.
Speaker 14: Has taken place in this country.
Speaker 10: And it's what I point out a lot in my
Speaker 10: book Beyond Proportionality, that if you read it, you go,
Speaker 10: wait a minute, we're cheering on this side. One side
Speaker 10: is fighting according to the laws of the war. The
Speaker 10: other side is ignoring all the laws of war, and
Speaker 10: we're cheering them on. And we're blaming the side fighting
Speaker 10: in self defense for committing genocide.
Speaker 3: Well, it's had a couple other issues. When I spent
Speaker 3: my time in Israel about a year and a half ago,
Speaker 3: I saw mosques in Israel, I saw synagogues a lot.
Speaker 3: I saw gay rights flags flying in Israel. In Tel Aviv,
Speaker 3: I saw Catholic churches. I saw a multicultural, Western style
Speaker 3: democracy in which Muslims are voted into the Kanesset. I
Speaker 3: saw a Western style democracy. On the other side, I
Speaker 3: see barbarism. Now on another issue, the other day, the
Speaker 3: Palestinian ambassador to the U N and I have sympathy
Speaker 3: for the gods and children being starved to death because
Speaker 3: of the behavior of Hamas.
Speaker 1: Hamas has lost the war.
Speaker 3: Why don't they lay down their arms and say you
Speaker 3: know what, we lost you one, here are the hostages.
Speaker 1: We want peace. Why does an Amas do that?
Speaker 10: Because they want dead Jews. Their charter talks only about
Speaker 10: dead Jews. They don't want Jews neighbors, and they don't
Speaker 10: want Jews in the Middle East. And they want you
Speaker 10: dead wherever they find them, which is why you saw
Speaker 10: the couple that was killed.
Speaker 14: Outside the Jewish Museum in d C.
Speaker 10: But let me just say Bill, people misread this very often.
Speaker 10: The man, the young man was Christian, he was a Zionist,
Speaker 10: and yeah he worked for the Israeli Embassy. But just
Speaker 10: like Bill Cunningham as a Zionist, he's not Jewish. That
Speaker 10: could have been you walking out of that.
Speaker 14: They didn't care.
Speaker 10: They just assumed if you're walking out of the Jewish museum,
Speaker 10: you must be a Jew and be killed. But let's
Speaker 10: remember the girl was a practicing Jew. The guy was
Speaker 10: a practicing Christian who worked for the Israeli embassy. Because
Speaker 10: Israel is a pluralistic society where Christians work, Arabs work,
Speaker 10: the Druids work, everyone has full civil rights. And by
Speaker 10: the way, when you said rock concerts, you know Israel
Speaker 10: in Tel Aviv is a major tour stop for every
Speaker 10: global concert around the world. Right, if you're appearing in
Speaker 10: la or in New York in a stadium, you're going
Speaker 10: to be an.
Speaker 14: Israelis on the tour.
Speaker 10: There's not one Arab city that you would travel to.
Speaker 4: Not one.
Speaker 10: No, there's never the rolling Stones that have never been
Speaker 10: in Riyad, or in Beirut or in Aman.
Speaker 14: No, they've never been in Tehran. And so that again
Speaker 14: like just to give you a sense of.
Speaker 10: What's the difference between a liberal, pluralistic society and a
Speaker 10: theocratic society. The other thing is what you just said about.
Speaker 10: You know, you see mosques, you see churches. Hamas and
Speaker 10: the Palestinian authority are very clear, should there ever be
Speaker 10: a Palestinian state, no Jews will be allowed to live here.
Speaker 10: Why would anyone be cheering on a country, a potential
Speaker 10: country that's telling you at the outset right that we
Speaker 10: will not be pluralistic. We don't want we know, we
Speaker 10: don't want Christians because Christian Coptics in Egypt are being killed.
Speaker 10: You know beth Lehem, right, the birthplace of Jesus Bill
Speaker 10: used to be a Christian city until the Palestinian authority
Speaker 10: took it over.
Speaker 1: Now I can't be, it can't be.
Speaker 3: Lastly, the funding that the mechanisms, these are useful idiots
Speaker 3: marching around and it's going to get worse, not better
Speaker 3: unless we stop it. That who's funding the anti Israeli
Speaker 3: hatred on American campuses in American cities. We here in Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: we have a large more or less inner city park
Speaker 3: called Washington Park. And whenever the call goes out to
Speaker 3: protests Israel. There's five or six hundred useful idiots that
Speaker 3: show up and they march around, scream, holler, and shout.
Speaker 3: Who's funding many of these protests?
Speaker 14: Cutter Cutter.
Speaker 10: We now know this is why all the donors from alumni,
Speaker 10: alumni donors for Harvard and other Ivy league like ten
Speaker 10: and even NYU.
Speaker 14: What we in Colombia.
Speaker 10: We now know that the reason they the universities have
Speaker 10: made no changes, and in fact Harvard is filing a
Speaker 10: lawsuit to maintain its anti Jewish environment is because they're
Speaker 10: getting nine billion dollars from Cutter. So when Bill Ackman
Speaker 10: and other guys like Mark Row and New York in
Speaker 10: Bethman Community, or Robert Kraft who owns the New England Patriots,
Speaker 10: who withheld nine.
Speaker 14: One hundred million dollars from Colombia, they're saying, keep your money.
Speaker 10: We're getting nine billion from Cutter. Good luck to you
Speaker 10: judes who give us money. We could care less about you.
Speaker 9: On campus.
Speaker 5: We hate you.
Speaker 11: That's what we do.
Speaker 10: We hate Israel, we hate America, we hate white people,
Speaker 10: we hate the West. This is what we teach and
Speaker 10: this is how we roll, and this is.
Speaker 14: How we want to continue to roll. We don't want anyone.
Speaker 10: To stop us, Bill, who is President Trump to And
Speaker 10: then on top of our fifty four billion dollar environment,
Speaker 10: we want American taxpayers to subsidize our anti American, anti
Speaker 10: West thinking. We really want you to pay us the privilege.
Speaker 14: I'm hating you hate paying, and we want to and
Speaker 14: keep paying us.
Speaker 10: So the reason why these other donors have gotten nowhere,
Speaker 10: Bill is because there's a much bigger check that's being
Speaker 10: writ and written by the Persian Gulf most cutter and
Speaker 10: also Iran.
Speaker 3: Thaine Rosenbaum, The book is beyond proportionality. Israel's just war
Speaker 3: and Gaza. Once again, this is a fight Western civilization
Speaker 3: must win, and if we lose, we're going to go
Speaker 3: back into the Middle or Dark ages. And Thane Rosenbaum,
Speaker 3: thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And we'll
Speaker 3: see what happens in the weeks ahead. I would anticipate
Speaker 3: that as soon as Iran has the capability of marrying
Speaker 3: a thermonuclear missile with atomic bombs, it's going to happen.
Speaker 3: Because they've told us. They told us they're going to
Speaker 3: kill every Jew they can find. They told us they're
Speaker 3: going to obliterate Israel they told us that, and I
Speaker 3: would listen to what they have to say. But Thane Rosenbaum,
Speaker 3: thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and than
Speaker 3: will do it again.
Speaker 14: Thank you very much anytime.
Speaker 4: Bill.
Speaker 14: Thank you see the world very clearly.
Speaker 4: I admire that. Thank you.
Speaker 3: God bless America and God bless Israel. Bill Cunningham, the
Speaker 3: Great American, Live with you every Sunday.
Speaker 15: Night, Billy cunning in the Great American. More information is
Speaker 15: coming out tonight about the terrible events in Boulder. It
Speaker 15: appears the person identified as using an improvised flamethrower, his
Speaker 15: name is Mohammed Solomon. He's an Egyptian national who came
Speaker 15: here in August of twenty two, what about two and
Speaker 15: a half three years ago. And overstate is visa. We
Speaker 15: have over one million so called foreigners entering our country
Speaker 15: under a visa system that are waived in claiming to
Speaker 15: be a tourist or wanting to do some work here,
Speaker 15: whatever it might be, go to school, and over one
Speaker 15: million of overstate and they have orders to leave. One
Speaker 15: of those who overstayed and had orders should have left
Speaker 15: was Mohammed Solomon. But under of course, Joe Biden, none
Speaker 15: of that happened.
Speaker 3: In fact, in many cities yesterday they were protests about
Speaker 3: the Trump administration actually enforcing federal immigration laws. What a
Speaker 3: new concept. And the hatred toward Jews continues unabated. It
Speaker 3: is incredible that somehow among certain leftists in this country
Speaker 3: and some people on the right, that hatred of the
Speaker 3: jew has become normalized and encouraged. Some of the videos
Speaker 3: coming out of Boulder, Colorado on these events that took
Speaker 3: place several hours ago are totally disgusting, as several older
Speaker 3: Americans there to peaceably indicate there as many hostages being
Speaker 3: still held in Gaza, that somehow they should be set
Speaker 3: on fire with an improvised flamethrower in the hands of
Speaker 3: Mohammed Solomon shouting free Palestine, Free Palestine. You might recall
Speaker 3: outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, d C. About three
Speaker 3: weeks ago it was free Palestine, Free Palestine on college campuses.
Speaker 1: What do you hear?
Speaker 3: Free Palestine, Free Palestine, and Palestine number one has been
Speaker 3: given the opportunity to be free beginning in twenty oh five,
Speaker 3: and many other occasions, amass takes over the entire country.
Speaker 3: And I do not believe that Israeli troops earlier today
Speaker 3: fired at innocent Gosin's trying to get trying to get
Speaker 3: some food hidden by Hamas and protected by him Moss
Speaker 3: and doled out. I don't believe that, but may God
Speaker 3: bless Israel, and somehow the hatred of the Jew in
Speaker 3: this country must be curtailed, if not eliminated, because it
Speaker 3: is a cry of the radical left, and it must stop.
Speaker 3: Let's continue with more coming up. Next to John Lott
Speaker 3: is an expert on guns. He has some stacked and
Speaker 3: statistics how valuable guns are in the hands of private
Speaker 3: individuals like you and me. Let's continue with more Bill Cunningham,
Speaker 3: with you every son you know. Bill Cunningham, the great American,
Speaker 3: of course an expert on gun and gun possession, legal
Speaker 3: and otherwise.
Speaker 1: Is of course the great.
Speaker 3: John Lott spent time as the Attorney General's office with
Speaker 3: Donald Trump on his first term. He runs a course
Speaker 3: crimeresearch dot Org, which is a fabulous website. Had a
Speaker 3: posting a couple of days ago about crime rates of
Speaker 3: illegal migrants is underreported and John Lott welcome again to
Speaker 3: the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, John, I
Speaker 3: also would note that it appear there was a six
Speaker 3: hundred thousand plus numbers put on for the employment numbers
Speaker 3: the last six or seven months of the Biden administration.
Speaker 3: Somebody put that up in order to make the employment
Speaker 3: rate look better than it was, because for political purposes
Speaker 3: it was required. You had this column up about crime
Speaker 3: rates of illegal migrants underreported, and I always hear about
Speaker 3: the immigrant community commits fewer crimes than regular American citizens.
Speaker 1: What is the truth?
Speaker 6: You know, first of all, when you mentioned the term
Speaker 6: immigrants with that mixes together, are numbers for both legal
Speaker 6: and illegal immigrants, right, And while legal immigrants commit crime
Speaker 6: at low rates, very low rates, illegal immigrants actually commit
Speaker 6: crimes at high rates compared to the rest of the
Speaker 6: US population. And so you kind of lose those differences
Speaker 6: when people just talk about immigrants as a whole. But
Speaker 6: you know, you can look at numbers from the Bien
Speaker 6: administration even and there are reasons to believe that they're underestimates.
Speaker 6: But last year, a couple months before the election, the
Speaker 6: Deputy Director for ICE admitted that of the seven point
Speaker 6: four million non detained individuals that had been released into
Speaker 6: the country, six hundred and sixty two thousand of them
Speaker 6: or about nine percent had criminal records. The problem that
Speaker 6: you find, though, is that that's pretty much just dealing
Speaker 6: with people who voluntarily turn themselves in at the border.
Speaker 6: Those aren't the ones that you would think you have
Speaker 6: to worry the most about. It doesn't include the two
Speaker 6: plus millions so called guide aways, people that we saw
Speaker 6: coming across the border but we weren't able to catch.
Speaker 6: It doesn't include the millions more that we never even
Speaker 6: saw coming across the border. I mean, one of the
Speaker 6: problems that we had during the Biden administration is that
Speaker 6: over seventy five percent of the border agents who had
Speaker 6: previously been there at the border to guard it had
Speaker 6: been pulled off of that duty and had been used
Speaker 6: by the Biden administration to process illegal aliens coming through.
Speaker 6: And the passive equipment that we had, like cameras and
Speaker 6: whatever to go and monitor the border, the Biden administration
Speaker 6: admitted that thirty percent of them had been broken and
Speaker 6: not operating, and that they hadn't spent any resources.
Speaker 11: To try to fix them.
Speaker 6: So you had huge areas of the borders. We have
Speaker 6: no idea how many more millions, and those are the
Speaker 6: ones that you should be most concerned about. There, So
Speaker 6: that course, even the nine percent assumes that the buy
Speaker 6: An administration was properly even the ones that they did
Speaker 6: check the criminal backgrounds for had properly checked those.
Speaker 3: And like so many other issues, you have a great
Speaker 3: factoid in your column that says the following. They ignore
Speaker 3: a key issue. Criminals often target those similar to themselves.
Speaker 3: Illegal immigrants are more likely to commit crimes against other
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants, and these crimes often go unreported for fear
Speaker 3: of deportation. And so for those who are thinking, well,
Speaker 3: this is some racial argument or some other, no, no,
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants commit crimes against other illegal immigrants because they
Speaker 3: live in similar communities. And secondly, they know that the
Speaker 3: victims aren't going to call the police for fear of deportation.
Speaker 3: And these studies neglect to adjust their analysis for this factor,
Speaker 3: particularly when they're relying upon the FBI uniform crime reporting data.
Speaker 3: And so, how can you really determine how many crimes
Speaker 3: committed by illegal aliens when you have that factoid that
Speaker 3: the victims don't report them anyway? You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: do you have some sense is that it's a guess,
Speaker 3: But how many more crimes have been committed especially by
Speaker 3: Venezuelan gangs or chi laying gangs, et cetera, using the
Speaker 3: app to come into the country Haitian gangs when in fact,
Speaker 3: if the crimes aren't reported, you can't tabulate what the
Speaker 3: crime rate is, correct.
Speaker 4: No, I mean, you're gonna underreport what it is.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: One of the things that's come out recently is that
Speaker 6: you've had that different Venezuelan gangs have turned against each
Speaker 6: other and are killing each other, you know, to try
Speaker 6: to control things like drug trafficking and human trafficking. You know,
Speaker 6: it's something that we've observed for long periods of time
Speaker 6: with gangs fighting against each other to control turf. And
Speaker 6: you know, so God only knows how many crimes that
Speaker 6: are there. But the thing is, even understanding that these
Speaker 6: are underestimates, there's still big numbers that are there that
Speaker 6: we're dealing with. And you know, you the problem is
Speaker 6: the quality of the data that we have simply doesn't
Speaker 6: properly keep track of illegals in this country. I mean,
Speaker 6: we have the Knixt background check system for going and
Speaker 6: buying a gun. Uh, technically only American citizens or people
Speaker 6: who are legal residents in the United States are able
Speaker 6: to go and purchase a gun. But yet we have
Speaker 6: lots of evidence that indicates that illegals are able to
Speaker 6: go through the background check and are not flagged for
Speaker 6: the fact that they are illegals there that they just
Speaker 6: haven't been you know, properly recorded as you know, as
Speaker 6: being illegals.
Speaker 4: And so, you know, we have no idea.
Speaker 6: But you look at Arizona as one place in the
Speaker 6: country that at least in the past, has collected this data.
Speaker 6: The Arizona County Prosecutors Association was showing that in Maricopa County,
Speaker 6: which is the largest, most populous county in the state,
Speaker 6: you had illegals being convicted of violent crimes at more
Speaker 6: than twice their share of the population. You look at
Speaker 6: the state prison population, illegals were forty percent more likely
Speaker 6: to go and be members of gangs than than the
Speaker 6: general Arizona population. And they were, you know, one hundred
Speaker 6: and forty two percent more likely to be convicted of
Speaker 6: violent crimes than the general population.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of a minimal number.
Speaker 3: On top of that, or all the other crimes committed
Speaker 3: by leoaliens who the victims don't a if I the
Speaker 3: crime is taking place, they won't identify the person did it.
Speaker 3: So those are minimal numbers, and this is a massive lawlessness.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.
Speaker 6: And so uh you know, I mean these are staggering
Speaker 6: numbers to begin with.
Speaker 4: Uh and uh.
Speaker 6: And the thing is, these ilegal aliens tend to commit
Speaker 6: the most violent crimes and uh, you know, everything from
Speaker 6: murder and uh firearms offenses to uh child molestation and
Speaker 6: uh and other types of rate uh they go on.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: Secondly, and this is a couple of weeks ago, and
Speaker 3: I don't think we've discussed it since then.
Speaker 1: It's been almost the three weeks.
Speaker 3: But do you have some sense as to that the damage,
Speaker 3: the harm inflicted upon American citizens by the Biden administration
Speaker 3: for their immigration policies that has little or no national
Speaker 3: media coverage, someone should write a book. I know Jake
Speaker 3: Tapper's doing a great job. Of course he's paid to
Speaker 3: write a book now. But while it was going on,
Speaker 3: he didn't do his job as a so called newsman.
Speaker 3: Same thing at ABCNBCCBS Washington posting just aut line them
Speaker 3: all up. We knew the mental acuity and that's one
Speaker 3: of the main reasons, of course Joe Biden lost.
Speaker 1: But what is to be gained by having importing.
Speaker 3: Into this country unattached, unemployable young males who are violent
Speaker 3: from third world countries to come into this country eight
Speaker 3: to ten million, I don't know, maybe more, and to
Speaker 3: wreak havoc on everage, citizen's cars being stolen, women being raped,
Speaker 3: burglarizing homes. Here in Cincinnati, we've had a rash of
Speaker 3: Chileans and Venezuelans breaking into homes with bricks through plate
Speaker 3: glass witness, We've had rash of car break ins, and
Speaker 3: how on top of the run of the mill criminals
Speaker 3: that happens all the time, making urban life almost unlivable.
Speaker 3: And you talk about Maricopa County, you could talk about Washington,
Speaker 3: d c. Talk about Cincinnati, New York City, Chicago is
Speaker 3: equally bad, and seemingly there's no one blowing the whistle
Speaker 3: on what's happened in the past four years and tie
Speaker 3: it to your research. Have you thought about writing another
Speaker 3: book about what is actually caused by twenty one, twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one, and twenty twenty five, the wreckage and the
Speaker 3: damage to our society caused by these policies.
Speaker 1: Is that a book idea you might have?
Speaker 6: Well, I appreciate the suggestion. I probably should. I just
Speaker 6: have to put together the different things I've already been
Speaker 6: working on to do it, so it may not be
Speaker 6: too time consuming. But you know, they are real costs.
Speaker 6: I mean, during the Buying administration, we just have the
Speaker 6: crime data out through twenty twenty three right now, But
Speaker 6: from twenty twenty one through twenty twenty three, if you
Speaker 6: look at measure of total crime from the Bureau of
Speaker 6: Justice Statistics, we had a fifty five percent increase in
Speaker 6: violent crime. That's the largest three year increase in violent
Speaker 6: crime that we've had in the that they've ever recorded.
Speaker 6: It's more than twice as large as the previous three
Speaker 6: year increase that you had had in violent crime.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: It's the same time we had this huge surge of
Speaker 6: illegals coming into the country. Yeah, so you know, obviously,
Speaker 6: you know, if you just take the six hundred and
Speaker 6: sixty two thousand criminals that the Biden administration identified, and
Speaker 6: again that's probably an underestimate for many reasons. But even
Speaker 6: if you just take their number and look at the crime,
Speaker 6: the most serious crime that they committed, we don't know
Speaker 6: the number of crimes. We just know what the most
Speaker 6: serious one was, you know, you're in the nationalis two.
Speaker 6: Justice has put together kind of a cost to victims
Speaker 6: of crime from costs lost wages, pain and suffering. You're
Speaker 6: coming to an estimate of like one hundred and sixty
Speaker 6: three billion dollars in terms of victim costs. And again
Speaker 6: that's a huge underestimate of the costs that are there.
Speaker 6: But those are you know, it's not just and the thing,
Speaker 6: it's just not the direct costs to the victims of crime.
Speaker 6: Those are important. You have losses to their families, You
Speaker 6: have businesses that close down, you have people who lose
Speaker 6: jobs and places to go and shop. Higher crime rates
Speaker 6: and areas mean that you have depressed housing values. People
Speaker 6: lose real wealth when crime goes up in areas. And
Speaker 6: so you know, the costs are well beyond even that
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty three billion dollars.
Speaker 3: And John, you mentioned the fifty five percent increase through
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, and I don't trust the numbers. We
Speaker 3: had an administration for four years that lied to us
Speaker 3: almost every day, lied about price day cancer. I guess
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden and doctor Joe Biden and others were in
Speaker 3: charge of the presidency it came out through the Department
Speaker 3: of Labor that they fudged the numbers of the tune
Speaker 3: of six hundred thousand more people working in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four than actually we're working. And the only increase in
Speaker 3: employment for the last four years under Joe Biden was
Speaker 3: a government employee. So when they tell us there was
Speaker 3: a fifty five percent increase, when they tell us one
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty three billion dollar expense, to me, that's
Speaker 3: the tip of the iceberg, because they give you the
Speaker 3: numbers that you want to hear and not the truth.
Speaker 3: And the truth we just know there's no go parts
Speaker 3: of our cities and counties. You don't want to go
Speaker 3: into those parts of town, and we know how people react.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: Lastly, about two minutes remaining, you had a column up
Speaker 3: about armed civilians stopping active shooters more effectively than police.
Speaker 1: We have about two minutes remading.
Speaker 3: Can you explain how armed civilians, by your research, stop
Speaker 3: active shooters more than police. It makes sense that someone
Speaker 3: has a gun there, you call a nine to win
Speaker 3: one if you're lucky at cops there in five minutes
Speaker 3: or thirty minutes, But what does the research demonstrate on that.
Speaker 6: Right well, basically shows one incredibly difficult job police have
Speaker 6: because they're in uniform.
Speaker 4: If you're an.
Speaker 6: Active shooting attack is one where that FBI collects the data.
Speaker 6: Active shooting is a gun fired in public, not part
Speaker 6: of some of the type of crime like a robbery
Speaker 6: or a game fight over drug turf, anything from one
Speaker 6: person being shot at and missed to a massive public shooting.
Speaker 4: And the thing is, if somebody's going to.
Speaker 6: Go and start shooting in public there and they see
Speaker 6: a police officer, they have real tactical advantages. They can
Speaker 6: wait for the police officer to leave the scene, or
Speaker 6: they can move on to another target themselves, or if
Speaker 6: they're going to do the attack there, who do you
Speaker 6: think they take out first? They go after the officer
Speaker 6: because he's the one person that they know that they
Speaker 6: can readily identify as having a gun. And so we find,
Speaker 6: for example, that when police are trying to stop these attacks,
Speaker 6: they are killed at seven times the rate that concealed
Speaker 6: carry permit holders are killed when they're trying to stop
Speaker 6: these attacks. Simply because you know, people need to realize
Speaker 6: what an incredibly difficult job police have, and beyond that,
Speaker 6: you have to realize relatively few police there are. We
Speaker 6: have six hundred and seventy thousand full time law enforcement
Speaker 6: in this country.
Speaker 4: You know, you maybe have two hundred.
Speaker 6: And thirty thousand or so on duty at any point
Speaker 6: in time. You know, we have three hundred and forty
Speaker 6: million people. Compare that to the number of concealed carry
Speaker 6: permit holders.
Speaker 4: We have twenty one point five million permit holders in
Speaker 4: the United States.
Speaker 6: We have twenty nine constitutional carry.
Speaker 4: States, including Ohio and Kentucky.
Speaker 6: In places like that where it's not even necessary to
Speaker 6: have a permit, you know, we have surveys show that
Speaker 6: about seven percent of likely voters carry all most or
Speaker 6: all the time. About fifteen percent at least carry some
Speaker 6: of the time. You know, you're just much more likely
Speaker 6: to have a permit holder around there to stop in
Speaker 6: most states than you are to have a police officer there.
Speaker 6: And in part it's because the guy knows to avoid
Speaker 6: somebody in uniform. You know, I guess one way of
Speaker 6: phrasiness is we have air marshals on planes. Who thinks
Speaker 6: that air marshals are to be in uniform?
Speaker 7: Nobody?
Speaker 4: Nobody would know.
Speaker 6: Because if you have a terrorist there, who are they
Speaker 6: going to take out first?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 6: I'm not saying police officers shouldn't be in uniform. I'm
Speaker 6: just saying we need to appreciate what an incredibly difficult
Speaker 6: job they have, and I don't think most people appreciate it.
Speaker 6: So it makes it less likely that they'll be there
Speaker 6: when the attack occurs, and when they are there, they
Speaker 6: have a very very risky, very dangerous job.
Speaker 3: John, You're kind of like the Sergeant Show Friday. Just
Speaker 3: the facts, man, give me the facts. You have the
Speaker 3: facts at crimeresearch dot Org and John Lott. Once again,
Speaker 3: thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. John, thank
Speaker 3: you very much. Thank you, Bill, God bless you. Let's
Speaker 3: continue with more Bill Cunningham, the Grand American Live with
Speaker 3: you every Sunday night. Hi Billy Cunningham, thanks for listening
Speaker 3: this Sunday night. One of the great values of live
Speaker 3: Sunday night shows is picking up the pieces of the
Speaker 3: week that was and looking to the week coming ahead.
Speaker 3: And what happened in Boulder, Colorado a few hours back
Speaker 3: is disgusting. A suspect now identified as Mohammed Solomon, an
Speaker 3: Egyptian national who overstayed his visitor's visa for like two
Speaker 3: and a half years, has been identified in a targeted
Speaker 3: terror attack on peaceful pro Israeli gathering. Seemingly there were
Speaker 3: some older individuals supporting the idea of freeing the hostages,
Speaker 3: and some sort of improvised flamethrow was used to hopefully
Speaker 3: kill in his mind, but mortally injure six individuals between
Speaker 3: the ages of US sixty seven and eighty eight years old,
Speaker 3: and somehow on college campuses in the leftist quarters and
Speaker 3: some on the right normalizing hatred of the jew Is
Speaker 3: something which is their currency in the trade. And that's
Speaker 3: why Donald Trump's trying to stop that hatred on college
Speaker 3: campuses funded by Cutter and others who just heard Thane
Speaker 3: Rosenbaum talk about that as a consequence Jews in this
Speaker 3: country and everyone is at risk. I look forward to
Speaker 3: the next few days. Some brought to justice for that
Speaker 3: terrible event. It appears at this point it was a
Speaker 3: singular event. But once again, an Egyptian national overstate is welcome,
Speaker 3: and Joe Biden did not go find the guy. Thanks
Speaker 3: for listening, and we continue with more Bill cunning into
Speaker 3: Great American with you on all of the Great Americans.
