WEBVTT 1 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:27.920 Willie You by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway In 2 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.960 Hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying stay 3 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.479 book at choice hotels dot com. Now here's the man 4 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.679 who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not one, 5 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:43.600 but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast Episodence, the 6 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.560 one and only Bill Cunninghad. 7 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.560 Guy, Billy Cunningham, the great American. What a consequential few 8 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.119 days it's been, and I think the next few days 9 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.159 might even be better. I call them the four horsemen 10 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.439 of the Apocalypse. Good things happening in this country. Number one, 11 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.359 of course, the Olympic are coming here next year in 12 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.519 Los Angeles. We have the World Cup coming next year 13 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.120 or shall I say this year, all over the country. 14 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:12.239 And then we have an American pope, which is almost impossible. 15 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.319 Then we have Donald Trump in charge of the presidency 16 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.400 instead of Kamala Harris. You take the Pope and Trump 17 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:24.439 and the World Cup and the Olympics, make America great again. 18 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.120 There it is for all who have eyes to see 19 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.159 and ears to hear. It's happening. And I know at 20 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.200 this point the Left is trying to hijack the papacy 21 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.480 of Leo the fourteenth. There's Pete Rose's number again, fourteen, 22 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.239 Leo the fourteenth, and eye for one will have none 23 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.599 of it. If you want to see something spectacular, I 24 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.319 saw it on X Shall I say Twitter? This last 25 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.560 couple of days, you know, there's some dispute. The Cubs 26 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.439 wanted to claim the new Pope their own by putting 27 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.879 a little billboard up saying a fan of the Chicago Cubs. 28 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.519 And then someone took the time to go back to 29 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.760 the twenty oh five World Series between the White Sox 30 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.639 and at that point in the National League, the Houston Astronomicals. 31 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:10.960 They were in the National League twenty years ago, and 32 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.719 they had one of those shots as a Fox or 33 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.560 the rest of them are apt to do in between pitches, 34 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.120 and they simply want to get a fan reaction at 35 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.280 this case at Kimiski Park. And if you google Leo 36 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.560 the fourteenth World Series, Kmisky Park, there is the Pope 37 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:32.680 in twenty oh five, some twenty years ago in the 38 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.560 stands at Komisky Park with his brother and his nephew 39 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.479 cheering on the Chicago White Sox, who, by the way, 40 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.120 in twenty oh five they did win the World Series 41 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.120 because the future pope was in the house. Incredible, a 42 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.560 future pope, Robert Francis Prevost, who was born in nineteen 43 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.080 fifty five, is now the Pope, and everyone said he fits. 44 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.919 He check marks every requirement of the papacy, including age 45 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.680 sixty nine years old. Believe it or not, that's somewhat 46 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.120 young for a pope. For the first time in my life, 47 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.000 a pope is younger than me. Never had that happen before. 48 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.360 Maybe we're getting younger pope, so I'm getting older one 49 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.360 of the other. And so we had that happening nineteen 50 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.800 fifty five. He spent most of his young adult life 51 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.960 in and around Chicago or Philadelphia. He's a great fan 52 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.000 by the way of the Philadelphia Eagles. And who won 53 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:30.599 the Super Bowl in February, That'd be the Philadelphia Eagles. 54 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.919 He attends a White Sox game. Who wins the World 55 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.520 Series in twenty oh five, that'd be the Chicago White Sox, 56 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.879 and good lord, do they need help now. He goes 57 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.680 from high school, where he was a mathematic genius on 58 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.400 the Villanova the home of the Wildcats. They may never 59 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.520 lose another game by the way the Wildcats. Villanova's won 60 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:55.520 what three national titles Villanova. Everywhere this guy goes, great 61 00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.759 things occur and received a master in theology eighty four 62 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.039 when he was not quite thirty years old, it received 63 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.759 a doctorate in canon law, and then from that point 64 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.199 on he wanted to be a missionary. He saw himself 65 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.240 as helping the poorest among the poor. And at that point, 66 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.680 when he was twenty nine thirty years old, guess what 67 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.680 a few people that's seen him as a future pope. 68 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.680 Believe it or not. There's this school teacher when he 69 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.560 was six years old that looked at Bob and said, 70 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.879 that boy right there is going to be a pope 71 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.720 six years old. Nonetheless, so he spends most of the 72 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:37.680 next fifteen to sixteen years in and around Peru as 73 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.519 a bishop among the poorest of the poor. He then 74 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.839 goes up the ladder of be classical of success in Rome. 75 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.120 Then in twenty twenty three, Francis elevates him to be 76 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.839 a cardinal. And they've been friends for a long time, 77 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:58.240 one from Argentina, one from Peru, and one couldnot imagine 78 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.959 a more unlikely fate then to have this white Sox 79 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.680 fan cheering on the White Sox and twenty oh five. 80 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.160 Google it, it's there. I'm watching it. Unbelievable. It's one 81 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.079 of those three or four second cuts. They wanted a 82 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.560 happy white Sox fan, and they happened to Fox Sports. 83 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:21.519 Happens to put the camera on Robert Francis Prevost, also 84 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.480 known as Leo the Fourteenth. Unbelievable. Could not be happier. 85 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.040 And we'll see what happens the next twenty to thirty years. 86 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:32.879 He's going to be in the papacy for a long 87 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.839 long time. And right now the left is trying to 88 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.279 claim him as their own by talking about a tweet 89 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.079 that someone in his name put out a few months 90 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.959 back against JD. Vance, who, by the ways of practicing 91 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.439 Roman Catholic, and I mean a real practicing Roman Catholic 92 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.319 who attends my church. He converted to my church in 93 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.959 Madeira St. Saint Gertrude's, but not the so called Joe Biden, 94 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.240 a devout Roman Catholic, not exactly. And he had one 95 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.759 quote to JD that said, quote, JD Vance is wrong. 96 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.720 Jesus does not ask us to rank our love for others. 97 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.839 And it's absurd to take that comment and make it 98 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.759 a woke pope, which is even some like Lord Luma 99 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.439 Lumer on the right ones to do Orthodox Catholics. So 100 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.360 he's going to be happy to learn that this pope 101 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:23.759 is strongly pro life, and he's pro family, and he 102 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.199 spent a good chunk of his life in a capitalistic society. 103 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.800 He recognizes that everyone's lifted as the tide rises, and 104 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.680 he has an American orientation no pope has ever had. 105 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.680 In fact, we've had a pope to speak English since 106 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:44.199 Justinian about a thousand years ago. And that's the it'll be. 107 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.759 It'll be incredible when he comes back to America. At 108 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.079 some point. He was invited there by the President of 109 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.319 Villanova yesterday when they exchanged emails, invited him to be 110 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.160 the graduation speaker. He said he's not sure he can 111 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.360 do that. I also would note that on Friday, Uh, 112 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.879 he's one of three boys. He's the youngest of the three. 113 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.360 One of his brothers was conducting an interview on on 114 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:11.120 w g N TV and Uh, he was on a 115 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.199 tablet and as he's conducting the interview, the phone, the 116 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.839 phone number indicates brother Bob is calling. That that Bob 117 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.319 that on on Friday was the Pope. So so his 118 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.240 older brother. So I better take this call and he 119 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.680 answers the call and it was the Pope. And the 120 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.839 first thing he said, uh to his brother Bob, was hey, Bobby, Uh, 121 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.600 you're on the air right now. And the Pope said 122 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.160 what he said, Yeah, I'm conducting an interview right now. 123 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.279 He said, I'll call you later. I assume the call 124 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:51.920 was made later. And uh, unbelievable that number one and 125 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.279 the same timeframe. The Olympics are here, the World Cup 126 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.680 is here, the Pope is from here, and Donald Trump's 127 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.639 in the house. I guess tomorrow flying to the Middle East. 128 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.639 And one thing this Pope did say, quote the promotion 129 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:11.639 of gender ideology is confusing because it seeks great genders 130 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.240 that do not exist. That's the Pope in his own words. 131 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.720 So I think we have a pope who is not liberal, 132 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:27.279 not conservative, but he's religious. And also Leo the fourteenth 133 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:32.360 seems to be a Republican. You said, what, well, you 134 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:37.639 voted absentee, took a registered Republican ballot out of Illinois 135 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:42.200 in twenty twelve, which was during the Obama years. Took 136 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:47.320 another Republican a sample ballot in the primary in twenty fourteen, 137 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:51.519 registered a Republican. The Pope registered also in twenty sixteen 138 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.480 as a Republican, and he voted by absentee in twenty 139 00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:00.000 twenty four and if anything, he appears to be more 140 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.720 of a Bush Republican than a Trump Republican. But let's 141 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.360 face it, I don't think too many of the popes 142 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:11.679 are concerned about politics whatsoever. If some progressives wanted France's 143 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:15.480 Part two, they're going to be disappointed, don't be fooled. 144 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.679 And it's because the left demand's power, the left demand's influence, 145 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:23.080 the left demand's money, and their masters are deceiving people. 146 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.720 It looks like practicing Roman Catholics have a pope in 147 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.679 Little of the fourteenth that we can rally around. But 148 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.799 whether you have a good pope or a bad pope, 149 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.159 and let's face it, it's up to you whether a 150 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.799 pope is spectacular like John Paul the Second or not 151 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.799 so spectacular. Your eternal salvation is in your hands, not 152 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.360 in someone else's. He said, a lot of problems going on, 153 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.120 not the least of which is financial. The Wall Street 154 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.120 Journal has an article about eight months ago in which 155 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.120 it pointed out what dire financial condition the Vatican is in, 156 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.159 and I read the article thinking, oh my gosh Leo 157 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.480 the fourteenth has serious problems. Headline is next Pope faces 158 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:10.840 financial mess. France has struggled with the cleanup and was unsuccessful. 159 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.039 And this article details the terrible financial struggles of the 160 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:21.159 Catholic Church, with the church's annual budget tripling in Pope 161 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:26.440 Francis's twelve year reign, spent three hundred percent more money 162 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.399 in those twelve years, and the pension fund in the 163 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:35.159 Vatican is two billion euros unfunded. And there have been 164 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.799 unusual financial practices in the Vatican, including seemingly the theft 165 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.519 of a half million dollars out of a Vatican bank 166 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:46.279 account stored and one of those involved stored the cash 167 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.480 in a shopping bag. According to this article, the bank 168 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.960 account to another concealed the funds from a senior Vatican 169 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:57.440 auditing official, Cardinal George pell. Money laundering using the Vatican 170 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.720 Bank has become ramped to the point where europe financial 171 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.919 watchdogs are going to blacklist the Vatican Bank, and so 172 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.039 France has brought in an outside consultant, Deloitte. I used 173 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:12.639 to be Tooche. I'm not sure they're Tooche anymore. They're Deloitte, 174 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.519 and they investigated that millions of dollars in Shenanigan's Half 175 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.840 Millionaire Half Millionaire. Someone broke into the consultant's office, Deloitte's 176 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.200 office and unscrewed the base of his computer, destroying a 177 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.399 lot of public records. Archbishops have been convicted of financial 178 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:35.320 fraud under Pope Francis, and has been convicted of fraud embezzlement. 179 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.559 He's appealing it. And that guy is still a cardinal, 180 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.240 but he couldn't vote. He was over the age of eighty. 181 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.840 And so this pope is serious problems, but also with 182 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.879 serious problems go serious opportunities. I'm proud tonight as I've 183 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.080 ever been to be a practicing Roman Catholic and to 184 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.559 have one of our own. In a sense, I'm not 185 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.759 sure he's going to get along completely with Donald Trump, 186 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.159 but it not required. Trump is of this world, and 187 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.759 Leo the fourteenth prepares us for the next. We'll see 188 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.240 what happens down the road now. Secondly, and we have 189 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:12.639 three lines available as I speak, I'll take many calls 190 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.759 tonight at eight six six six four seven seven three 191 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:21.799 three seven. Secondly, Donald Trump posted about six pm tonight 192 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.519 to be exact at six twenty two pm Eastern time, tonight, 193 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.039 a bombshell announcement said, for many years, the world has 194 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:32.799 wondered why prescriptive drugs and pharmaceuticals in America are so 195 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.000 much higher in price they were in other nations, sometimes 196 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.840 five to ten times greater here than in every other 197 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.039 nation on the face of the earth. And he's going 198 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.720 to order therefore, I'm pleased to announce the tomorrow morning, 199 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.559 which is nine am tomorrow morning, in the White House, 200 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.879 I'll be signing one of the most consequential executive orders 201 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.519 in our country's history. I will demand that prescription drug 202 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:59.000 and pharmaceutical prices be reduced by anywhere between thirty to 203 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.840 eighty percent, and they will rise throughout the world in 204 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:06.480 order to equalize the money, bring fairness to America. And 205 00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:11.200 this will save American citizens and taxpayers trillions of dollars 206 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.519 every year away we go. I hope this works. I 207 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:21.159 hope this will happen in a sense. But here's another factor. 208 00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.919 The reason the prices here are so high is because 209 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.519 we bear the expense of research and development of new drugs, 210 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.399 and the other world takes advantage of us. Once the 211 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.960 drugs have been approved by the FDA as being safe 212 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.039 and effective, then the rest of the world picks them 213 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.799 up at pennies on the dollar. We pay everything now. 214 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.000 I had on a pharmaceutical expert a couple of years 215 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.559 ago from Lily, a great pharmaceutical company. It takes at 216 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:55.000 least five hundred million dollars of research and development for 217 00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:59.159 each drug they try, five hundred million, and then one 218 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:03.159 of every six or seven actually work, they're safe and effective. 219 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.759 So five hundred million plus five hundred million plus five 220 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.200 hundred million at them up. So the one drug that 221 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:14.360 is safe and effective after R and D is done 222 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:18.759 has to bear on its shoulders literally billions of dollars 223 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:23.200 of research and development that the pharmaceutical companies and others 224 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:25.720 put into the hopper to get to the point of 225 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:28.919 having an effective drug. No other country bears the price 226 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.720 they poach off us and the American consumer. Then, and 227 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:37.080 the pharmaceutical companies to stay in business have got to collect, 228 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.919 recollect and put in their pricing structure all the cost 229 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.799 of all the research and development, all the employees, all 230 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.159 the buildings, all the benefits, and mainly its research and 231 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:51.600 development costs. That's got to go into one drug that 232 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:55.840 works and has to bear the price of all the drugs, 233 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.360 the billions of dollars spent of drugs that were not 234 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:03.879 safe or not effective, as the American consumer pays that price, 235 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:09.559 is that fair? Absolutely not. The Trumpster in about eleven 236 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.000 hours is going to say the price of these drugs 237 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.240 will equalize and rise throughout the world. Our country will 238 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.480 finally be treated fairly, and our citizens healthcare costs will 239 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.320 be reduced by numbers no one ever thought of. Now, 240 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.120 what's going to be the first thing that happens about 241 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.960 nine o two am tomorrow morning Eastern time. Lawsuits. The 242 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:33.279 pharmaceutical companies will file lawsuits, others saying a president cannot 243 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.919 fix prices. And I get that point, but why we 244 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.039 bear the expense, all the expense and the rest of 245 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.879 the world doesn't is despicable and it's wrong. Just one 246 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:47.799 little thing I hope the Trumpster can do tomorrow. Let 247 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.840 the lawsuits commence in a way we go. Let's take 248 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.240 short break and set up tonight's BAK show. I want 249 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.840 to get your feelings first of all, about the election, 250 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:03.200 the selection of Leo the fourteenth, a White Sox fan 251 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.360 and a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Wherever he goes, good things 252 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.600 happen to teams around him. It's unbelievable. I wish in 253 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:12.799 a sense he could become a fan of the Cincinnati Reds. 254 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.600 Wouldn't that be great? But nonetheless, when he attend a 255 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.960 White Sox game to win the World Series, when he 256 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.320 goes to Eagles games at Villanova, eventually they win a 257 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:26.120 few Super Bowls. Now he's pope and as human as 258 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.200 he can be, and I could not be more pleased. 259 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.840 Want to get your reaction to this, but also to 260 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.320 what the President is going to do tomorrow. Also, what's 261 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:36.759 happening now in the Middle East. What's happening with a 262 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.000 Moss allegedly an American hostage the last American hostage, guy 263 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:43.759 named Dan Alexander's going to be released sometime soon, maybe 264 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.600 tonight or tomorrow. A Moss, a bunch of killers allegedly 265 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.120 going to release nineteen year old Eaton Alexander. He's been 266 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:55.519 locked up five hundred and eighty one days, tortured repeatedly, 267 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.600 supposedly going to be released soon as a gesture of 268 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.799 good will. They're an evil death cult, and the only 269 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.279 way to deal with that has arranged the meeting between 270 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.640 them and those seventy two virgins. Let's continue with more 271 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.519 eight six six six four seven, seven three three seven. 272 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:16.640 Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with you every Sunday night. 273 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.519 I Bellie cunning Him, the Great American. Let's continue full 274 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:29.640 lines of course eight six six six four seven seven 275 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.039 three three seven. Big things happening, A lot of work 276 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.200 to be done, today's lot. I got up this morning, 277 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.079 went to Massa yesterday at four point thirty, had just joy, 278 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:40.559 just happiness. 279 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:40.920 The guy. 280 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.039 We have the right pope at the right time. He 281 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:44.720 gave an interview about two or three years ago in 282 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.440 which he said, look, God knows who the next pope is. 283 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.640 It is our job to hear his call. We don't 284 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:53.240 pick the pope. It is revealed to us and then 285 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.079 we act accordingly. And each time, at least in my lifetime, 286 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:58.079 we've had the right pope at the right time. He said, 287 00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.960 which John Paul the second was needed from Poland, and 288 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.960 after that Benediction was needed from Germany. Then he said, 289 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.839 after that Francis was needed from Argentina. And at that 290 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:09.640 point he wasn't the pope. In fact that I'm not 291 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:11.440 sure even was a cardinal at that point. He was 292 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:13.640 just elevated. About a year and a half ago by 293 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.839 Francis to that particular post sixty nine years old. He's 294 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:20.680 likely has a twenty year run in this when he 295 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.039 comes to America. I've been told that he's going to 296 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:27.000 have to wait because he speaks English, he speaks Spanish, 297 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.079 he speaks speaks Portuguese, he speaks French, and he speaks Italian, 298 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.440 and he can read Latin and Chinese. So as a consequence, 299 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:39.480 he checks every box that you like a pope to 300 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:45.039 be able to communicate with. He's the first English speaking pope. 301 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.079 And over a thousand years we had a guy named 302 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.519 Justinian a thousand years ago from England. I assume he 303 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.279 spoke English. Probably we wouldn't understand it today, but he 304 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.039 spoke English. So this is spectacular. It's unbelievable. Well, let's 305 00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.599 continue with more and later on with talk about a 306 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.400 guest or two we have coming up in including the 307 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.480 Great Yuri Kaufman about his analysis of the President's trip 308 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.160 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to the Middle East, and 309 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.759 will there be big pow wow involving Israel and amass 310 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.839 and or Iran. We will see ten twenty nine go 311 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.640 cunning into Great American with you and all great Americans 312 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.640 every Sunday night. 313 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:34.480 To the world. 314 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:40.039 Who uses American prescriptive drugs and diagnostic tools and techniques 315 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.880 bear the cost of their development? 316 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:42.720 On? 317 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.599 Yes, how do we make that system happen? Number one? 318 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.880 Could it cause the literal bankruptcy of America's drug and 319 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:58.160 pharmaceutical companies? I don't know yet. He announced this at 320 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:01.359 six fifteen pm to night at nine o'clock in the morning, 321 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.039 is going to order that the cost of these drugs 322 00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.400 go down by many, many times, by eighty ninety percent. 323 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.000 And the cost structure of whether it's Wyeth or lily 324 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.039 whatever is based upon returning your investment, and that the 325 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.960 one successful drug's got to bear the price the cost 326 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.039 of all the failures. That costs hundreds of millions of 327 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:25.039 dollars per failed drug. I'd take two or three drugs, 328 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.559 would like to pay a lot less. Absolutely so. I 329 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:29.799 think those who use them in Europe and South America 330 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.240 and which abanned Korea, Yes, they should pay their fair share. Now, 331 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:35.559 how do you make them do it? Only the Trumps 332 00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.559 that can make this happen. Let's continue now, we'll take 333 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.960 some calls, talk about what's coming up later, including I've 334 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:43.519 had a lot of requests for this guest. I hit 335 00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:46.279 them on about two or three years ago. Mark Meckler, 336 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:52.200 which is the State con the State Convention guy Article 337 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:55.400 five that says in the constitution that if two thirds 338 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.680 of the state's elect to have a brand new constitutional convention, 339 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.240 if two thirds of the state call for one, it's 340 00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.799 gonna happen. So I want to get to Mark Meckler's 341 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.599 why it's required. I know it's gaining steam. Then also 342 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.519 later on we have doctor MASSELLI do no harm. I 343 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.480 may pick up with him the idea of what do 344 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.200 we do with pharmaceutical expenses that are so much less now? 345 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.799 If Trump is successful, of course, the first thing is 346 00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.400 going to happen is the pharmaceutical companies will be in 347 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.640 front of a Obama federal judge that issues an injunction. 348 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:29.839 Here we go. So, I don't know, can the president 349 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.759 fix the price of drugs? I'm talking about pharmaceutical drugs 350 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.680 developed by private businesses. What they cost, structure, I don't know. 351 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.240 I know everyone should bear the costs of these miracle drugs, 352 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.079 and right now only we're bearing the cost 's continue 353 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:46.240 with more. Once again, the number of call is eight 354 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:49.759 sixty six six four seven seven three three seven, And 355 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:54.799 let's go to Bill and Quincy, Massachusetts. And Bill in Massachusetts. 356 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.559 How you doing, Yeah, go ahead, you're very pig thank 357 00:21:58.599 --> 00:21:59.160 you tell you. 358 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:05.680 Yeah, we should have Elon go to the Vatican, goes 359 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.279 What do. 360 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:12.079 You think, Well, you know, certainly he's had measure impacts 361 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:14.599 here in the country. To watch the interview he and 362 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.960 his team, if done with Hannity and with Jesse Waters, 363 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:20.519 is fabulous to look at these guys donating their time 364 00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:24.960 without any taxpayer expense, just save hundreds of billions of dollars. 365 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.160 Even sixty minutes Tonight picked up on it that there's 366 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:34.039 criminal gangs in China and Iran and in North Korea 367 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.039 that built the taxpayer out of billions of dollars of 368 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:40.720 every year. And yes, we need something in Vatican City 369 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.480 is no different than any other organization. I read somewhere 370 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.440 that's seventy percent of us given an opportunity wi steal money, 371 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:51.920 we would count me in the category that would not 372 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:54.599 steal money. But I would hope the religious and the 373 00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:57.359 Vatican have a different calling. But it looks like at 374 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.720 leaks like a sieve, and I hope Leo can get 375 00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:01.759 control of it. 376 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.119 Yes, and that pull tracks is a lot for it. 377 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:10.640 He spent so much money, man and sorrows, and those 378 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.319 people are sat in the sea up government. 379 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:19.359 GEO keeps track of government spending. And in March of 380 00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.559 last year, in April of last year, in each month 381 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:31.319 we borrowed as taxpayers about about two hundred billion dollars 382 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.000 a month. Uh, well, we borrow about two trillion dollars. 383 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:39.039 March and April was bad, and the last March in April, 384 00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:43.599 thank God of Joe Biden. And this March, instead of 385 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:47.920 two hundred billion being borrowed, the number was thirty seven billion. 386 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.440 And they're trying to figure out why, how come the 387 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.960 government is running more lean? How come this is the 388 00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:59.039 cost and they don't know if it's going to remain 389 00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.559 because you might recall the Trumpster had all these buyout packages, 390 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.480 and so I don't know. In April was the same 391 00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:10.920 low number. Of course, we borrow every year about two 392 00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:17.519 trillion dollars. And so far in the first what h February, March, 393 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:20.480 in April, the first three full months of the Trump administration, 394 00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:24.599 there might have been one hundred billion dollars barred total 395 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.440 for all three months instead of six hundred billion now 396 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:31.640 how long are that we can continue? I don't know. 397 00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:34.559 There's more news tonight as I sit here that AMASA 398 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:38.119 has announced again than eaton Alexander, the nineteen year old 399 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:42.279 American citizen as a gesture of goodwill, having been tortured 400 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:44.480 for five hundred and eighty one days. It's going to 401 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.200 be released imminently. So right now in the Middle East, 402 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:52.279 it's approximately five thirty nine am, So maybe by the 403 00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.160 time I get off there, he'll be released. We'll see 404 00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:58.000 what happens. Let's continue now with Patrick in North Carolina, 405 00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:00.599 the home of the tar Heels, that a lot of. 406 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:07.000 People are not understanding that there are like usaid. I've 407 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:12.480 got a letter from Eric Smith, Senator in Missouri, and 408 00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:16.039 it's signed by five other senators including Ted Cruz, Josh Howley, 409 00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:20.480 Marshall Blackburn, and two others, and it was an attack. 410 00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:24.400 It was sent to the president of the American Bar Association, 411 00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:28.519 and it was a scathing, long letter with all the 412 00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:32.759 receipts because it was found out that, you know, people 413 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:37.279 wonder why why the judicial is so corrupt? Why is 414 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.519 the theme that everything gets past happens to help attorneys 415 00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:44.960 and protect judges and so forth? Well, it turns out 416 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:50.200 USAID has been funding the American Bar Association to the 417 00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:54.039 tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, including Title four D, 418 00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:57.519 which is I think four point six billion dollars of 419 00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.319 Title four D was going back to state and a 420 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.640 lot of that money found its way into the pensions 421 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.680 of disre court judges who were creating a massive child 422 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:12.480 support system, destroying American families and destroying children's lives. And 423 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.440 it's just not a story that's being told enough, and billions, 424 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:20.519 billions of dollars of being spent to protect basically, it's 425 00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:24.079 another it's just a larger cash for kids, kids for 426 00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.960 cash debacle that was going on in Pennsylvania. 427 00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:32.720 Patrick accurate. It was a government funded of the Democratic 428 00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:35.839 liberal elites to keep them in power. And whether it's 429 00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:38.319 the ABA or the AM, I have an expert coming 430 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.799 up later tonight, Doctor Kurt Masselli talks about what the 431 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.440 AM does when it comes to discrimination, when it comes 432 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:50.119 to DEI and the ABA has been funded largely by 433 00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:55.279 small contributions of weed lawyers, but largely through USAID and 434 00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:59.359 mechanisms such as the two billion dollars given to Stacy 435 00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:05.000 Abrams and Georgia to assist homes getting insulation and refrigerators, 436 00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:10.160 and she simply spends the money on cars, travel, five 437 00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.119 Star travel, whatever it is. And it's a funding mechanism 438 00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.359 the taxpayers have done to elect Democrats and that's been broken. 439 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.559 And I look forward. I would hope Patrick that the 440 00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:26.000 media and maybe Dan Bongino and others in the FBI 441 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:31.319 would indict these individuals for wirefraud, massive lawlessness, and if 442 00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.400 the ABA is brought down as an attorney, that's okay 443 00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.039 with me. They're a left wing radical organization. And I 444 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.200 would point out the last two weeks, Justices Jackson and 445 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:44.720 Soda Mayor have spoken before bar groups encouraging them to 446 00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:48.759 be more proactive ensuing the Trump administration. Is that the 447 00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:51.119 role of a Supreme Court justice to be in front 448 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:54.559 of lawyer groups encouraging lawsuits that they're going to rule on. 449 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.279 No, I don't get that. You know what's interesting because 450 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.079 in the county in North Carolina that I'm in when 451 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:05.519 I went and pulled the lever for Donald Trump in 452 00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:09.559 the last election, there were I've got a particular case 453 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:13.160 on and there were five of the judges, five of 454 00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:16.400 the liberal Democrat judges that have been involved in my case. 455 00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:19.720 It's a horrifically corrupt case. They were all on the 456 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:23.119 ballot of all of the district court judges that I 457 00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.160 could potentially elect. All of them were a part of 458 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:29.119 this except for one. There were zero, get this, there 459 00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:34.519 were zero people running against these liberal Democrats. There wasn't 460 00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:38.440 even a lever to pull. Nobody listed other than liberal 461 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:40.119 Democrats getting put back in power. 462 00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:44.480 Patrick. The ABA is rife with left wing radical politics, 463 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.640 and the funding mechanisms has been the taxpayer. It's not 464 00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.359 the dues, and it's the taxpayer funding the American bar 465 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:55.960 and the American Medical Association. And as I said before, 466 00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:58.079 if we go back the other direction in four years 467 00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:01.240 and I don't know who's governor Pritzer is going to 468 00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:04.240 be the president or Gavin Newsom, we can't go ying 469 00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:06.400 and yang back because all that money is going to 470 00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:09.240 flow back into these liberal groups. To keep the Democrats 471 00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:14.400 in power. We need eight to twelve years. We need jd. Vance, 472 00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:18.480 Marco Rubio, somebody after the Trump start to carry this forward. 473 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.559 It can't go back the other direction. Otherwise we go 474 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.519 back and forth and they're going to double their money 475 00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.319 to the ABA and double their money to interest groups, 476 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.480 to have kickbacks to the Democratic Party, and it's illegal. 477 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:35.680 And I hope FBI director. I hope Dan Bongino, I 478 00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:38.720 hope Pam Bondy, I kind of hope. I hope they 479 00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:41.359 pursue these things. I have hope. All I have right now, 480 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:43.440 all I have Patrick now is hope. That's all I 481 00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.039 have is hope. 482 00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.480 Yeah, I barely have that. It's about judicial accountability, and 483 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.119 unfortunately there is none. Right we know there's no judicial accountability. 484 00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:55.720 So right now it's just a rogue. It's a rogue 485 00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.079 part of our government. And I don't know how it 486 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:03.400 gets pulled on her control apart from exposure. Exposure, But 487 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:06.240 that's part of the reason I'm calling in. It's like 488 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:09.720 the exposure of what is going on, even at local levels. 489 00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:14.359 People don't know that. I mean, it's right now, over half, 490 00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:18.640 over half of America's children we're living in a country 491 00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:21.319 what three hundred and thirty million were Over half of 492 00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:27.319 our children do not live with their biological father. And Philislaffley, 493 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:31.440 you know, the great Phillis Slaffley, one of our best 494 00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:35.240 female politicians we've ever had. Back in the eighties or nineties, 495 00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:37.920 she said, if title four D and all this stuff 496 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:41.799 goes through. She she goes, we will create a fatherless America. 497 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.519 And she was spot on. And now her I think 498 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:49.599 the person that runs her organization is a Trump, a 499 00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:53.599 top Trump policymaker. So we've got a little bit of 500 00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:55.839 hope in that, and that there's some people at there, 501 00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:58.880 at the very top of the food chain that knows 502 00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.839 just how bad it is. 503 00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.440 Patrick. I've asked teachers this, if you're in the public 504 00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:07.000 school system, how often do you have a conference, a 505 00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:10.400 parent teacher conference in which no parents show up or 506 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:13.400 if father shows up? Extremely rare? And I said to 507 00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:16.279 this twenty eight year teachers in a union, teachers union, 508 00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:18.759 I said, well, what are the odds of a first 509 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:23.480 grader being living in the home of that person's male 510 00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.400 or female mother and father. The mother and father were 511 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.000 married when they had the child. The mother and father 512 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:32.759 have been together the entire eighteen years of grade school 513 00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:35.519 and middle school and high school. They've never had one. 514 00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:39.160 It doesn't happen anymore that we don't have intact families, 515 00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:42.720 and families are the foundation of democracy, passing on the 516 00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:48.000 requirements and skills, especially with boys boys without fathers. In fact, 517 00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.720 you go to prisons. Great majority there have no family structure, 518 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.640 no fathers. Great majority have worthless high school certificates that 519 00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:58.599 mean nothing. The great majority live in the world that 520 00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:00.720 you and I would not even recognize. Now, how do 521 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:03.880 you change that? It took us about forty years to 522 00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.319 get here, It will take us forty years to get out. 523 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:09.480 And I don't know how how we do it. If 524 00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:12.200 we elect Democrats up and down the ladder, and if 525 00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:17.039 the ABA continually is encouraging by Supreme Court Justices Jackson 526 00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:21.160 and Soda Mayor who decide cases to keep suing to 527 00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.839 stop the implementation of these policies, these eos by Donald 528 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.599 Trump would go back the other direction with Gavin Nissim 529 00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.799 or Pritzer or god forbid, Kamala Harris or Tim Waltz 530 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.240 as the president in twenty twenty eight. We're done because 531 00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.920 I said in twenty four we can't. We can't live 532 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:39.359 like this, can't do it. 533 00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:41.640 There's two things that I think that can be done. 534 00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:46.400 That it's grassroots, but it's you know, this government is 535 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:49.720 you know, we the people, right, and so this government 536 00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.839 by the people for the people. If if there was 537 00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.359 legislation number one, if there was legislation produced that defined 538 00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.880 domestic child trafficking, right, which is with these courts and 539 00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:03.799 and cps and and all of these you know, child 540 00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:07.880 protective agencies, they are awful, right, the vast majority of them. 541 00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:12.039 But if there was a domestic child trafficking legal definition, 542 00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.720 that would allow people to actually hold some of these 543 00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:18.759 people accountable. Because now there's this legal definition, and while 544 00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:22.599 they're and here's the thing, domestic child trafficking, why does 545 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:26.559 the larger global trafficking go so unnoticed? People just kind 546 00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:28.480 of like, Okay, yeah, it's kind of going on or something. 547 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.839 If you don't care about the child they got trafficked 548 00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:34.160 in our court system that was across the street from you, 549 00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:36.480 you're not going to care about some kid and Honduras 550 00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:39.759 that you're never going to meet, right, So they're tied together, 551 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.519 the money is tied together, the whole the whole issue 552 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:48.319 of just demoralizing and devaluing our children, which is the 553 00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:51.559 it's the vast it's it's the greatest national treasure we have. 554 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:54.799 But but when that's taken away, when that when that 555 00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:57.799 foundational truth is taken away of how important the children are, 556 00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.400 then you'll just watch them get away with their what 557 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.839 they're getting away with. And the second piece of legislation 558 00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:06.519 that I'm pushing for would be a piece of legislation 559 00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:11.000 for the alienated abused children that when they become of 560 00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:15.840 a certain age, they've got a legal pathway of both 561 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:21.480 lawsuits and criminal charges against the attorneys, against the judges, 562 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.719 against court resources, and even the alienating parent. And that 563 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:29.400 kind of firepower, because there's kids growing up everywhere in 564 00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:34.079 America today that they want their parents. And we've got 565 00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:39.800 fourteen fifteen thousand peer reviewed studies that prove that kids 566 00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:44.719 with two parents just do better. Eighty percent of incarcerations 567 00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:50.880 involve a single mom, household eighty percent, eighty percent. 568 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.719 We can't continue, Wait, you can't keep doing the same 569 00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:58.320 thing anticipating a different result. And now we've got to run. 570 00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:01.079 Great call, great take Patrick, thank you. Let's continue with 571 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:04.039 more and if a line becomes available.

That looks like India Pakistan ha quit fighting 580 00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:44.960 because of Donald Trump. And maybe the American ostg and 581 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:48.719 Alexander will be released sometime tonight or tomorrow plus tomorrow 582 00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:50.880 morning at nine am. The President is going to demand 583 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:54.039 that the pharmaceutical companies grossly lower the cost of their 584 00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:56.760 pharmaceuticals and require the rest of the world to help 585 00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:59.119 help us pay for him. Then you're going to get 586 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.039 the new Cutter. Supposedly is going to give Donald Trump 587 00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:04.639 a brand new air Force one is seven forty seven 588 00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:07.280 eight hundred that's going to be used in service to 589 00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:12.800 the presidency. And we have an American pope, which is unbelievable, unlikely. 590 00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:18.440 Google Chicago White Sox twenty oh five Pope Leo if 591 00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:21.199 Fox Sports had a shot of him in the stands 592 00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.320 cheering on the White Sox in twenty oh five when 593 00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:29.480 he was simply a priest working in Peru, And here 594 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.719 he is in a White Sox cheering on the White 595 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:34.920 Sox that beat the Houston Astronomicals at that point Houston 596 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:38.119 was in the National League, and he's also a fan 597 00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:41.039 of the Philadelphia Eagles, and they won the Super Bowl, 598 00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:44.000 and Villanova's won a few national titles. We have a 599 00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:47.360 pope from the Big East. For God's sakes. Oh no, 600 00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:50.039 I think make America great again. Think it's happening right now. 601 00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:53.320 Would you agree with me? It's happening right now. But 602 00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:55.639 the media wants to find the two things that might 603 00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:58.679 be questionable and the thousand things that are right, just 604 00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:01.239 the opposite one a Democrats. It's in office. They talk 605 00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:04.239 about the two things that are that are right and 606 00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:06.760 the thousand things that are wrong. They ignore those things. 607 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:10.280 Donald Trump should should have approval rating right now around 608 00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:15.039 seventy five percent, especially if he pulls off peace in India, Pakistan, 609 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:19.280 the Middle East, Ukraine? Are you kidding me? So let's 610 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:24.280 continue with more. Continue to take your calls, calls from California, Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, 611 00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:28.159 and Idaho. Later on tonight or so, we have doctor 612 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.800 Kurt Masseli will be here from Do No Harm or 613 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.719 what the AMA is doing the doctors in the educational process, 614 00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:38.159 and also later on as the Great Yuri Kaufman about 615 00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:40.079 what's going to happen this week in the Middle East, 616 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:44.159 and whether Hamas really wants peace and Iran really wants peace. 617 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:47.119 I don't think so. But we'll see Phil cunning and 618 00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:50.039 the Great American with you and all great Americans every 619 00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:50.719 Sunday night. 620 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:29.039 Willie the Ball brough you by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge 621 00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:31.519 and Roadway In Hotels are serving up double points for 622 00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:35.519 every qualifying stay book at Choice Hotels dot com. Now 623 00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:39.159 here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best, the 624 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:43.159 recipient of not one but two prestigious Marconi Awards for 625 00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:47.639 his broadcast excellence, the one and only Bill Cunningham. 626 00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:52.119 You know, my last guest talked about the ABA. I 627 00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.960 would also reference the AMA and what they've done. In 628 00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:58.119 about thirty minutes or so, Doctor Kurt Marcelli's going to 629 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:01.079 be here about the UH Do No Harm dot Org, 630 00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:04.079 his website that talks about what it takes to get 631 00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.119 into medical school today. I know the same thing's true 632 00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:10.119 about law school. You have to harbor certain political beliefs. 633 00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:13.119 You have to sing the company song and play the 634 00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.519 company too, and otherwise you can't get in. If you 635 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:18.239 get in, you won't get graage. There's certain political things 636 00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:20.960 you have to believe in. And the indoctrination happening is 637 00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:26.480 I speak by the Aba them is truly unbelievable and 638 00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:28.920 it's not well covered, but we're going to cover it tonight. 639 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.320 Also later on is the course a Uri Kaufman, an 640 00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:34.400 expert on the Middle East, about what's going to happen 641 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:37.079 this week with hamas it appears they're going to release 642 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.480 the last American hostage. But of course I believe it 643 00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:41.639 when I see it. Let's continue in your calls. We 644 00:39:41.639 --> 00:39:44.719 have Mark and Monroe Michigan, and then Bethany and Detroit 645 00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:48.760 and so many others and Mark and Monroe, Wisconsin. I'm sorry, Mark, 646 00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:50.920 Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Mark, how are you? 647 00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:53.480 I'm fine. How are you doing tonight? 648 00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:55.760 Great night to be an American? Give me a full report. 649 00:39:56.719 --> 00:40:02.119 Okay, here we go. I think, first of all, it's 650 00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:08.519 interesting to note that not only Pope Leo was a 651 00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.679 white Sox fan, but so was h Rock Hussein Obama. 652 00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.079 Great point. I'll give the popa pass. I won't give 653 00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:20.079 up Obama pass on anything. But the guy was born 654 00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:22.480 on the South side of Chicago, and so if you're 655 00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:24.719 on the south side of Chicago. You know, you're a 656 00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:27.639 white Sox fan the north side the Cubs. But he's 657 00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:31.239 also a Philadelphia Eagles fan and they win the Super Bowl. 658 00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:33.400 What can I say? 659 00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:39.639 Illanosa quite an interesting scenario. But my main point is 660 00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:44.840 is I getting over to Dean Bongino. 661 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:45.920 I love that guy. 662 00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:50.360 I think he is so much dirt on the whole 663 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:59.199 J six situation and including Kamala Harris in that whole 664 00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:05.360 uh Parkside pipe bomb scenario. I'm just I'm just waiting 665 00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:09.400 for them to finally expose that thing because I think 666 00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:14.960 it's so detrimental into what's coming down the pike. Because 667 00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:18.480 if they don't, if they don't expose it, somebody like 668 00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:23.840 Ed Martin I think has already lost a major position 669 00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:29.519 because it didn't come to the forefront. So my concern 670 00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:34.000 is if they don't Again, I know there's a lot 671 00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:38.000 of work behind it, but there may be even more 672 00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:44.400 people like you know, Ed Martin that will be you know, 673 00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:50.920 short changed if all this stuff doesn't come to the forefront. 674 00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:54.360 Mark the other thing, Leticia James is a crook changed 675 00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:57.559 the Attorney General of the State of New York. What 676 00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.599 she's done with mortgage fraud is unbelievab well, she wants 677 00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:02.880 to make it a racial issue when instead it's a 678 00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:06.480 behavioral issue. And unfortunately for her, I think there's those 679 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:09.320 in the Apartment of Justice that will believe in the 680 00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:13.000 old saying no one's above the law, including Letitia James, 681 00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:15.239 who would be tried not in New York City but 682 00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:18.920 rather in northern New York, which is a Republican area. 683 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:22.440 So politics shouldn't play a part. And it's a paperwork case. 684 00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:25.440 This is what you signed, this is what you attested 685 00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:28.039 to under oath, and this is the lie that you told. 686 00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:30.800 And you can't play the race card. Is that your signature? 687 00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:33.719 How many dollars did you rip off the taxpayer? And 688 00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:36.000 you lied under oath when you said you were resident 689 00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:39.159 in Virginia. And whether or not you're guilty or not 690 00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:42.719 guilty is a document's case and not testimony. And look 691 00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:45.719 at the hell she put Donald Trump through. I think 692 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:47.679 it's one of the reasons he's got elected. Most of 693 00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:50.360 the American people figured it out what the Democrats were 694 00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:53.119 doing to their opposition, and they couldn't take it anymore. 695 00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:55.840 So it boomeranged on her. But I look forward to 696 00:42:55.840 --> 00:43:00.559 Stacy Abrams. I look forward to Letitia James. I look 697 00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:03.719 forward to Fanny Willis and Nathan Wade. I look forward 698 00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:06.760 to maybe Smith a special prosecute. I look forward to 699 00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:09.559 all of it coming out. And I trust Dan Bonngino. 700 00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:12.800 If a year from now we know nothing about Jeffrey Epstein, 701 00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:15.480 a year from now, we know nothing about the indictment 702 00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:18.840 of Fanny Willis and Nathan Wade and nothing happens with 703 00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:22.239 THETISA James, I'd be profoundly disappointed, wouldn't you be? 704 00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.719 Absolutely And again, all those people you just mentioned, not 705 00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:31.800 to mention the one ma Sean he was he was 706 00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:35.719 touching Bundle and all that, and uh, you know Jack 707 00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:41.159 Jack Smith, I mean, all these guys are that criminal. 708 00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:45.360 And I really hope that they, uh you know, drop 709 00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:49.679 the hammer on these guys, because again, our whole future 710 00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:55.599 is uh, you know, waiting for that kind of a 711 00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:58.880 swing and uh what's coming down the pike. I mean, 712 00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:02.519 you know, if if we can do that, it would 713 00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:04.159 make all the difference in the world. 714 00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:07.159 Remember the Democrats said, no one's above the law. I 715 00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:10.360 guess unless you're a congressman and you want to invade 716 00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:13.559 an ice center in Newark, New Jersey, which is a 717 00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:17.119 hell hole. Newark, New Jersey, has been run by Democrats 718 00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:20.199 for decades. Look at the status of that country, that city. 719 00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:23.360 It's unbelievable. And they want to distract you from their 720 00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:26.519 failure of policy and somehow indicate that they don't have 721 00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:28.559 access to an ice center. All they got to do 722 00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:31.000 is request permission, it will be granted. You got the 723 00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:34.960 mayor of Newark. They guy name is Barama something like that. 724 00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:37.559 He's a crook and what he wants to do is 725 00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:40.360 become the next governor of New Jersey, which is again 726 00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:46.360 completely unbelievable that would happen. And I just hope these 727 00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:49.119 good were early on a little more than one hundred days, 728 00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:51.800 one hundred and twenty days. And let's see what happens 729 00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.480 by this time. By next year, we should have numerous 730 00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:57.599 indictments and felons. After all, no one's above the law, 731 00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:00.679 right mark, No one's above the law, including Democrats. 732 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:05.119 Well how about Chuck Schumer. That guy is always coming 733 00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:08.880 to the forefront belly ache about justice. And this guy 734 00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:13.360 can get scott free, you know, and you know, accusing 735 00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:18.119 Supreme Court judges and gets out scott free from all that. 736 00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:22.599 Well, how about Nancy Pelosi who out invested. Warren Buffett 737 00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:26.239 just step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. I mean, Nancy, 738 00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:29.519 Nancy Pelosi is brilliant when it comes to investing. She 739 00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:31.519 went in worth a little bit, comes our worth three 740 00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:33.880 hundred million dollars. And I don't care if you're a 741 00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:37.039 Republican named Mitch McConnell or if you're a Democrat like 742 00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:40.679 Nancy Pelosi. That's called influence peddling, is insider trading, and 743 00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:41.400 it's illegal. 744 00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:43.159 Yeah. 745 00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:46.599 Well, I mean, I guess if you live in, you know, 746 00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:53.079 a gated community and you're isolated from reality, you you know, 747 00:45:53.239 --> 00:46:00.400 even like with that idiot, but there's so money. I 748 00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:01.639 always pick one. 749 00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:06.679 Adam shift How about that guy, Senator Senator Adam to 750 00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:10.159 the House of Representatives, and Adam Shiftless is the conscious 751 00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:13.960 of the US Senate and the people of California. They 752 00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:17.440 voted for these guys. I mean, you get the government 753 00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:18.000 you deserve. 754 00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.079 Well, how about Corey Booker. He could stay up twenty 755 00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:25.639 five hours and just flabor his brains out and come 756 00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:26.920 up with nothing. 757 00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:32.239 And just a hell hole. It's a garbage dump. That's 758 00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:34.800 what Democrats have done. And the worst job they do, 759 00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:36.599 the more they get advanced. Well, we got to run. 760 00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:39.519 Thanks for your call. Let's continue now with let's go 761 00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:43.159 to Bethany and Detroit, Michigan. Bethany and Detroit, Welcome to 762 00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:45.400 the Bill Cunningham, Joew Bethany. How are you and give 763 00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:46.280 me a full report? 764 00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:50.320 Oh, I'm very well. 765 00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:53.199 And then that's what I want to bring up of 766 00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:58.480 where you're talking about the problems arising with the prices 767 00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:04.039 on drugs. Right, sir, I'm eighty six years old. I 768 00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:13.280 elder sit for three eighties who are biologically older than 769 00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:19.440 me but chronologically younger. Right, I here are my mom prayers. 770 00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:21.880 I've been to care there. I'm very, very familiar with 771 00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:26.079 sick people and so, in my opinion, based on fact 772 00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:31.119 and experience, one of the biggest scams going is medical 773 00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:35.480 care right now. If people would just listen to the 774 00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:40.000 other thing that Hippocrates said besides do no harm, did 775 00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:42.719 you know he also said food is medicine, and medicine 776 00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:47.599 is food and I can't here, Yeah, my three medical problems. 777 00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:49.480 I take care for food. I'm not going to go 778 00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:52.679 into detail because of me practicing medicine of our license, 779 00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:59.000 but doubt age related macular degeneration, and blood pressure. 780 00:47:59.400 --> 00:47:59.960 I got there. 781 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:04.119 I'm all well under control, just with food, if we would. 782 00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:08.039 The biggest scam. 783 00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:13.559 Going, the biggest right now, and it's throughout the United 784 00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:15.960 States except for a few of us that are under 785 00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:22.079 the scam. Doctors prescribe medicine because as far as insurance, 786 00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:25.519 as long as you're on a prescription, they can have 787 00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:29.719 you every ninety days and bill you and then make 788 00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:32.639 your sick and give you that way. It's just disgusting, 789 00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:34.559 and I don't know when people are going to catch 790 00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:35.039 on to it. 791 00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:38.000 Well, bething, I'm glad you called in because tomorrow morning 792 00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:41.199 at nine o'clock, allegedly Donald Trump's going to do something 793 00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:44.639 incredibly great for the American people, which is to force 794 00:48:44.719 --> 00:48:47.880 the rest of the world to share and the creation 795 00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:51.880 of these fabulous treatments pharmaceutical drugs. And we shouldn't bear 796 00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:54.760 the entire price and cost. I can't tell well. Every year, 797 00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:58.880 the government GAO tells us, which is the Government Accounting 798 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.519 Office of the House, between two hundred and fifty to 799 00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:05.639 five hundred billion dollars every year is wasted through waste, fraud, 800 00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:08.800 and abuse and neglect. It's an incredible amount of money. 801 00:49:08.840 --> 00:49:12.119 And we have the first president ever that is putting 802 00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:14.239 the cheese on the cracker and is going to try 803 00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:16.760 to find and hold those accountable, and no one ever 804 00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:19.920 did that before. Hell, the federal budget's gone up forty 805 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:23.519 four percent since the year twenty twenty, and that there 806 00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:26.960 were a forty percent increase in employees in the federal government. 807 00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:30.000 And he's cracking that egg wide open. You can't make 808 00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:33.039 an omelet without cracking a few eggs, and the Trumpster's 809 00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:35.559 doing it and he's catching hell from everywhere. But you 810 00:49:35.719 --> 00:49:39.000 know the fact that food is medicine, and medicine is food. 811 00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:42.840 And I think Robert Kennedy Junior, the head of Health 812 00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:46.280 and Human Services, along with the Mega Movement for Mothers, 813 00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:48.519 who are saying, we can't take this anymore. We have 814 00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:51.039 to find out what's being done to our kids. And 815 00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:55.159 largely because of food stamps, et cetera. We're paying for 816 00:49:55.239 --> 00:49:58.519 the introduction and the body of food stuffs that injures 817 00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:01.559 those who and the e cards that we pay for. 818 00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:04.400 It's an incredible thing and we got to stop it. 819 00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:08.079 Yes, exactly, exactly. 820 00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:10.679 That's why I wanted to get to you, because the 821 00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:13.360 main thing I like about your program is you listen 822 00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:14.199 to both sides. 823 00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:15.639 I knew you wouldn't hang up on me. 824 00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:18.639 I tried calling one other program once and I got into. 825 00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:21.760 It part way into where I was going, and he 826 00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:24.159 just hung up. And then he commented on the air 827 00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:26.440 that you know there are cooks out there. Well, I'm 828 00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:27.599 not a kook. I'm sorry. 829 00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:31.559 At my age and taking no medication. My blood pressure 830 00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:35.360 hangs in around the one twenties over seventy two's, and 831 00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:38.760 like I said, I maybe six and I'm working full time. 832 00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:39.559 At three jobs. 833 00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:42.519 Great, God bless you. Thanks for listening. And by the way, 834 00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:46.280 before we before we move on here on the other side, 835 00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:48.480 I'm going to play for you a two minute cut 836 00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:51.760 that I gave to my producer, Danny boy Gleason of 837 00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:57.079 Donald Trump in nineteen eighty eight. You may recall Oprah Winfrey, 838 00:50:57.079 --> 00:51:00.920 who thinks she can't select for you presidents aunt her 839 00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:03.280 endorsement is the kiss of death, kind of like the 840 00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:07.000 Obamas of the Clinton's endorsements are kisses of death. And 841 00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:08.840 now I'm gonna play for you a two minute cut 842 00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:12.280 that Donald Trump was on Oprah as she was starting 843 00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:16.079 off on TV at that moment, and Donald Trump in 844 00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:20.079 nineteen eighty eight described the problems in this country. And 845 00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:21.719 on the other side here we're going to play it 846 00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:25.320 for you. It's an incredible insight. That was what thirty 847 00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:29.559 thirty seven years ago, and that Donald Trump in nineteen 848 00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:32.239 eighty eight is no different than the Donald Trump in 849 00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:35.199 twenty twenty five. Let's continue with more twenty minutes after 850 00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:44.800 the hour. Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday night. You 851 00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:47.960 may recall in nineteen eighty eight, the second Reagan term 852 00:51:48.079 --> 00:51:51.280 was concluding. The eight race had up been put together 853 00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:55.679 completely at that point, but Bush forty one would get 854 00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:59.880 the nomination. On the other side, Jesse Jackson and Michael Dukaka, 855 00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:04.400 we're having at it. And a businessman, a billionaire businessman 856 00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:07.159 from New York, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show. His 857 00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:10.960 name was Donald Trump in nineteen eighty eight. So this 858 00:52:11.119 --> 00:52:14.159 was about what thirty thirty seven years ago. It's about 859 00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:16.920 two minutes long. See if you see a connection between 860 00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:20.880 the consistency of Donald Trump with Oprah in nineteen eighty 861 00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:23.719 eight and then today Danny Gleason hit it. 862 00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:24.559 What would you do. 863 00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:27.760 Differently, Donald, I'd make our allies forgetting about the enemies. 864 00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:29.880 The enemies you can't talk to so easily. I'd make 865 00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:32.599 our allies pay their fair share. We're a debtor nation. 866 00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:34.960 Something's going to happen over the next number of years 867 00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:36.880 with this country because you can't keep going on losing 868 00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:39.800 two hundred billion. And yet we let Japan come in 869 00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:42.559 and dump everything right into our markets and everything. It's 870 00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:44.800 not free trade. If you ever go to Japan right 871 00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:46.920 now and try to sell something, forget about it. Open, 872 00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:49.320 just forget about it. It's almost impossible. They don't have 873 00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:51.920 laws against it. They just make it impossible. They come 874 00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:54.519 over here, they sell their cars, their VCRs. They knock 875 00:52:54.559 --> 00:52:56.639 the hell out of our companies. And hey, I have 876 00:52:56.719 --> 00:52:59.239 tremendous respect for the Japanese people. I mean, you can 877 00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:01.159 respect somebody that's beating the hell out of you, But 878 00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:03.800 they are beating the hell out of this country Kuwait. 879 00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:06.119 They live like kings. The poorest person in Kuwait they 880 00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:08.679 live like kings. And yet they're not paying We make 881 00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:11.280 it possible for them to sell their oil. Why aren't 882 00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:13.440 they paying us twenty five percent of what they're making. 883 00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:14.079 It's a joke. 884 00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:17.719 This sounds like political presidential talk to me. And I 885 00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:19.079 know people have talked to you about whether or not 886 00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:19.679 you want to run? 887 00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:20.840 Would you ever? 888 00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:24.599 Probably not, But I do get tired of seeing the 889 00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:25.280 country reports. 890 00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:25.880 Why would you not? 891 00:53:26.239 --> 00:53:29.039 I just don't think I really have the inclination to 892 00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:30.119 do it. I love what I'm doing. 893 00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:32.760 I really like it also doesn't pay as well. 894 00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:37.119 But you know, I just probably wouldn't do it open. 895 00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:39.199 I probably wouldn't, but I do get tired of seeing 896 00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:41.360 what's happening with this country, And if it got so bad, 897 00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:43.559 I would never want to rule it out totally because 898 00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:46.639 I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country, 899 00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:49.960 how we're really making other people live like kings and 900 00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:50.360 we're not. 901 00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:52.719 What do you think of this year's presidential race the 902 00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:53.719 way it's shaping. 903 00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:55.599 Up, Well, it's going to be very interesting. I think 904 00:53:56.400 --> 00:53:59.280 I think that probably George Bush has an advantage in 905 00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:01.960 terms of election. I think that probably people would say 906 00:54:01.960 --> 00:54:03.760 that he's got like that little edge in terms of 907 00:54:03.800 --> 00:54:06.400 the incumbency, et cetera, et cetera. But I think Jesse 908 00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:09.440 Jackson's done himself very proud. I think Michael Ducacus has 909 00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:11.800 done one hell of a job, and George Bush has 910 00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:13.440 done a hell of a job. You know, they all 911 00:54:13.440 --> 00:54:16.400 went in there sort of as semi underdogs, including George Bush, 912 00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:18.719 and they've all come out. I think people that are 913 00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:21.119 around all three of those candidates can be very proud 914 00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:22.199 of the jobs they've done. 915 00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:24.400 You've said, though, that if you did run for president, 916 00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:25.239 you believe you'd win. 917 00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:28.199 Well, I don't know. I think i'd win. I tell 918 00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:29.800 you what, I wouldn't go in to lose. I've never 919 00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:32.639 gone into losing my life, and if I did decide 920 00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:35.320 to do it, I think I'd be inclined. I would 921 00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:36.639 say that I would have a hell of a chance 922 00:54:36.639 --> 00:54:38.440 of winning because I think people I don't know how 923 00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:40.239 your audience fees, but I think people are tired of 924 00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:42.679 seeing the United States ripped off. And I can't promise 925 00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:44.559 you everything, but I can tell you one thing. This 926 00:54:44.599 --> 00:54:46.519 country would make one hell of a lot of money 927 00:54:46.679 --> 00:54:49.320 from those people that for twenty five years have taken advantage. 928 00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:51.159 It wouldn't be the way it's been, Believe me. 929 00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:54.960 Nineteen eighty eight, Donald Trump with Oprah saying the same 930 00:54:54.960 --> 00:54:57.719 stuff he said thirty seven years ago. Today getting ripped 931 00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:01.039 off by the world pharmaceutical price since tomorrow morning going 932 00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:03.079 to go down. He's going to be in the Middle 933 00:55:03.119 --> 00:55:07.360 East Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Indian Pakistan stop fighting. Ukraine 934 00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:09.679 is going to meet head eyeball to eyeballs, the Olynski 935 00:55:09.719 --> 00:55:12.480 and Putin together and there may be peace in the 936 00:55:12.480 --> 00:55:15.679 Middle East, Ian Alexander or the American hostage may be released. 937 00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:19.400 And that was COVID. That was nineteen eighty eight with 938 00:55:19.480 --> 00:55:23.079 Donald Trump. He was worried about deficit spending then, which 939 00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:28.079 was about two hundred billion dollars a year, and now 940 00:55:28.079 --> 00:55:31.480 it's two trillion. It's gone up ten times, and it's worse, 941 00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:33.840 and they're ripping off of the rest of the world. 942 00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:38.000 And there was reporting earlier today that China and America 943 00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:42.280 with Secretary of Bassett has a deal in the works. 944 00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:44.599 That is going to be more on it tomorrow. But 945 00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:48.280 at three pm hour time Eastern time, head of the 946 00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:52.119 Chinese Polytbureau whatever they're communists, for God's sakes, it's going 947 00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:54.599 to issue a statement and looks as if they're making 948 00:55:54.639 --> 00:55:58.000 serious progress on working out a deal with a communist 949 00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:01.400 red China to ripping us off, as every country's done 950 00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:03.719 throughout the world for as long as I've been alive. 951 00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:08.159 We give them complete protection, We allow their products to 952 00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:11.000 be sold here, but we can't sell our products there. 953 00:56:11.679 --> 00:56:15.519 And Donald Trump is mercilessully attacked by Democrats in the 954 00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:19.199 media for speaking the truth. He started with this thirty 955 00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:22.559 seven years ago, and like he said, I don't think 956 00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:24.320 I'm gonna run for president, but if I do, I'm 957 00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:27.639 gonna get elected. And Donna Brazil this morning with George 958 00:56:27.639 --> 00:56:31.320 Stephanopolos Sunday morning, had a lucid comment, which is rare 959 00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:34.360 for her. She said, the reason we nominated Kamala Harris 960 00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:37.039 is that we figured she's a black female, she's gonna 961 00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:39.239 win because the American people aren't going to vote for 962 00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:43.119 a felon. That was Donna Brazil. Well, we didn't. We 963 00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:46.320 saw through the crap the Democrats. Donald Trump is a 964 00:56:46.360 --> 00:56:49.559 great man. He's not a felon except by democratic jargon. 965 00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:52.199 So they put up a weak candidate after Joe Biden, 966 00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:55.480 according to Donna Brazil, to get her in office as 967 00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:59.239 a weak female African American, because they could manipulate her 968 00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:01.960 for their better fit and keep the game alive of 969 00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:05.960 having the government fund democratic activities. How about that, Donna 970 00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:08.760 Brazil said, we had a weak candidate because American people, 971 00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:10.599 we're going to vote for a felon. Well, he's not 972 00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:12.880 a felon. He's a great American. We voted for him. 973 00:57:13.199 --> 00:57:15.920 Let's continue with more up next to doctor Kurt Mascelli 974 00:57:16.199 --> 00:57:18.679 of Do No Harm, what the medical schools are doing? 975 00:57:18.880 --> 00:57:21.280 There are doctors and more. Bill cunning and the Great 976 00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:24.480 American with you and all great Americans. Every Sunday night, 977 00:57:29.159 --> 00:57:34.639 the Presidents signed numerous eos executive orders dismantling demanding accrediting 978 00:57:34.679 --> 00:57:39.079 bodies to stop imposing DEI requirements on schools, whether it's 979 00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:42.719 Yale or Harvard, or UCLA or University of Cincinnati, also 980 00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:46.760 medical schools, and also the American Bar Association, a very 981 00:57:46.800 --> 00:57:50.000 liberal organization, wants to use DEI as far as the 982 00:57:50.039 --> 00:57:53.880 eye can see. But doctor Kurt Mascelli is the medical 983 00:57:54.119 --> 00:57:57.800 director at Do No Harm, and Do No Harm has 984 00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:02.880 been leading voice exposing medical crediting bodies for putting politics 985 00:58:02.920 --> 00:58:06.400 ahead of patients. And doctor Masseli. Welcome to the Bill 986 00:58:06.440 --> 00:58:09.320 Cunningham Show. And first of all, let's go over the 987 00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:12.360 last several decades, there's been numerous attempts by the US 988 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.679 Supreme Court to get racism out of schools, out of 989 00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:19.119 the workplace, out of schools, but that has largely been 990 00:58:19.159 --> 00:58:22.920 accomplished in my view, and so liberals, not happy with 991 00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:27.480 equal and playing grounds, want to change this argument, which 992 00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:30.360 is DEI. So first of all, tell the American people 993 00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:33.639 what is DU What is DEI? Then we'll talk about 994 00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:35.519 critical race theory. What is it? 995 00:58:35.639 --> 00:58:41.920 In essence, absolutely so, diversity, equity inclusion. DEI unfortunately, really 996 00:58:41.960 --> 00:58:45.880 has been this effort to promote discrimination and actions within 997 00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:49.840 universities and systems throughout our country that has really put 998 00:58:49.880 --> 00:58:53.440 people into positions based on their identity, whether their race 999 00:58:53.559 --> 00:58:55.639 or gender, whatever it might be. And it really looks 1000 00:58:55.639 --> 00:58:59.000 at us in a very Unamerican way by putting us 1001 00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:01.880 into groups oppressor and oppressed, in creating this dynamic that 1002 00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:04.679 causes tremendous strife and struggle. And we've seen it. We've 1003 00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:08.039 seen it whether through accreditation agencies, through schools where discriminatory 1004 00:59:08.079 --> 00:59:10.119 practices are put in place, and we've lost sight of 1005 00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:13.039 the importance of merit and of quality that really needs 1006 00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:14.840 to be at the heart and soul of what we 1007 00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:16.679 do and what is made America a great country. 1008 00:59:16.920 --> 00:59:21.159 And doctor Marceli, Liberals and mainly ninety nine percent democrats 1009 00:59:21.159 --> 00:59:24.480 control this process. If you're at Harvard or Yale or UCLA, 1010 00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:27.559 University of Chicago, any of the so called top colleges 1011 00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:30.559 are all dominated by liberals. I would also think that 1012 00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:34.880 the great majority of labor unions are dominated by liberals, 1013 00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:38.199 the great majority of the captains of industry are dominated 1014 00:59:38.239 --> 00:59:41.880 by liberals, the great majority of big city mayors are 1015 00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:45.320 dominated by liberal Democrats. So isn't it somewhat odd that 1016 00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:51.480 those who on surface oppose race discrimination employ it. Isn't 1017 00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:52.559 that somewhat peculiar? 1018 00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:54.960 Yeah? 1019 00:59:55.039 --> 00:59:57.119 I think it really gets to the heart and soul 1020 00:59:57.199 --> 01:00:00.199 of where we need to focus on and focusing on 1021 01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:03.880 who we are as Americans and really not getting into 1022 01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:06.719 conversations that do put us in different categories and that 1023 01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:09.199 separate us and divide us. And I think it's so 1024 01:00:09.239 --> 01:00:13.320 important that we as Americans, as students, as educators, as 1025 01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:16.599 consumers are very much aware of that and know the 1026 01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:20.000 importance of the merit and the quality that we see 1027 01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:23.000 and really not to let these un American principles take hold. 1028 01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:25.159 I mean, that's what we're doing at Do No Harm. 1029 01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:27.320 That's what we're doing when we focus on the medical 1030 01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:30.559 space and healthcare. We know that Americans want healthcare to 1031 01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:32.840 be excellent. When you're in that journey. When you're in 1032 01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:35.519 that er, you want the very best doctor before you, 1033 01:00:35.639 --> 01:00:38.519 the very best nurse, the very best caretakers who can 1034 01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:40.679 make sure that you're going to be well, your family's 1035 01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:42.760 going to be well. And we don't want things like 1036 01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:48.239 immutable characteristics and really this sort of divisive dynamic taking place. 1037 01:00:48.280 --> 01:00:50.880 We want it to be really an approach that looks 1038 01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:53.239 at the patient and looks at what can be done 1039 01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:55.960 that's best for them. So, yeah, there's a lot of 1040 01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:58.519 work that we need to do, and we're encouraged by 1041 01:00:58.599 --> 01:01:01.920 really tackling this issue of the politics with an administration 1042 01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:04.519 that's willing to look at all sorts of various avenues 1043 01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:08.599 to make our country into a much better state. And 1044 01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:12.679 really those values that we're founded upon, that meritocracy that 1045 01:01:12.920 --> 01:01:14.920 is at our fundamental base. 1046 01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:18.280 Meritocracy is terribly important to doctor Masseli. Before we get 1047 01:01:18.280 --> 01:01:21.280 to medical school, I see that Harvard has now changed. 1048 01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:26.000 They had a chief Officer of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. 1049 01:01:26.039 --> 01:01:29.199 They had a Chief DEI Officer. They had about sixty 1050 01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:33.599 employees hired at Harvard in the Department of DEI. Then 1051 01:01:33.639 --> 01:01:36.000 now I've changed the name because they're catching too much 1052 01:01:36.039 --> 01:01:38.760 flock and they kind of call it the Director of 1053 01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:43.079 Community Involvement, And so I would anticipate the goal now 1054 01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:48.039 will be to eliminate DEI in principle, but not in practice. 1055 01:01:49.039 --> 01:01:51.480 Have you noticed that little bit of a subtle change. 1056 01:01:53.239 --> 01:01:56.800 You're certainly onto something, and you're absolutely right. I mean, unfortunately, 1057 01:01:57.360 --> 01:02:00.000 it's DEI as an entity as a principle that needs 1058 01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:03.039 to be eliminated because of the discrimination, because of the divisiveness. 1059 01:02:04.119 --> 01:02:06.760 That is the idea that needs to go away. And 1060 01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:09.559 we've seen other schools do this as well. If you 1061 01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:12.320 look at schools that have changed the names of their department, 1062 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:16.320 and they might not be a quote unquote DEI department, 1063 01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:18.360 but as you say, something very different. But if they're 1064 01:02:18.400 --> 01:02:21.599 doing the same things, then it's just as problematic. And unfortunately, 1065 01:02:21.639 --> 01:02:25.119 many of these institutions over the past decade plus have 1066 01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:28.920 actually embedded DEI very much into their organizational base. And 1067 01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:31.599 we sought the University of Michigan throughout that system, and 1068 01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:34.320 I think there are almost a thousand different employees that 1069 01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:36.679 were related to DEI in some way, shape or form, 1070 01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:38.599 and maybe not all of them are full time or such, 1071 01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:42.360 but nonetheless, it's a tremendous dei infrastructure that's built in 1072 01:02:42.400 --> 01:02:45.440 place and really does need to be dismantled in order 1073 01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:47.920 for us to make sure that the meritocracy is what's 1074 01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:50.599 driving the day and not ideology and not division. 1075 01:02:50.719 --> 01:02:53.519 So you're saying, in one public University of Michigan, the 1076 01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:56.440 home of the Wolverines, they have about a thousand employees 1077 01:02:56.559 --> 01:03:01.880 hired to root out discrimination at Michigan by practicing it. 1078 01:03:01.880 --> 01:03:03.920 It's kind of and you also have something on your 1079 01:03:03.920 --> 01:03:09.440 website implicit bias training for Michigan healthcare professionals. When you 1080 01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:14.679 can't find discrimination, and these thousand individuals at Michigan University 1081 01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:17.559 have got to be spending every day trying to find discrimination. 1082 01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:19.719 They got to located. Maybe they should look at the 1083 01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:22.639 football team that the main players in the football team 1084 01:03:22.639 --> 01:03:26.119 are seventy percent black. Because it's a meritocracy. I don't 1085 01:03:26.119 --> 01:03:28.199 care if there are one hundred percent one hundred percent black, 1086 01:03:28.480 --> 01:03:31.639 as long as it's a meritocracy. But if you don't 1087 01:03:31.719 --> 01:03:35.800 find discrimination in your organization, you have to change to 1088 01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:38.960 something called implicit bias. Explain what that is? 1089 01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:43.199 Sure, that's you know that implicit bias idea is that 1090 01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:46.320 we harbor these biases within ourselves that we don't even 1091 01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:50.199 necessarily know about. Right, they're implicit, not explicit, but what 1092 01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:53.039 we harbor them towards people of different color, different sex, 1093 01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:55.480 different religion, whatever it might be. And that of the 1094 01:03:55.519 --> 01:03:59.039 consequence of those implicit biases, we are essentially doing bad 1095 01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:01.880 things to other people. And I think it's a terrible 1096 01:04:01.920 --> 01:04:05.320 concept because it accuses somebody of practicing racism or sexism 1097 01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:07.599 or or whatever it might be, as opposed to really 1098 01:04:07.639 --> 01:04:11.000 looking at who they are as an individual and who 1099 01:04:11.039 --> 01:04:13.199 that person is. And I, you know, I think for 1100 01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:15.719 each and every one of us, it's so important to 1101 01:04:16.239 --> 01:04:21.519 recognize that the implicit bias idea has been so baked 1102 01:04:21.519 --> 01:04:25.079 into critical race theory and so baked into fostering more 1103 01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:28.920 division exclusion. We need to look past that. We need 1104 01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:31.639 to look to again the individual, who is that person 1105 01:04:31.639 --> 01:04:34.559 that stands before us. I know that we see that 1106 01:04:34.599 --> 01:04:38.280 implicit bias training, whether as a mandatatory factor and licensure 1107 01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:41.400 in certain states again such as Michigan, but we also 1108 01:04:41.400 --> 01:04:45.719 see it in some of the actual certification statements that 1109 01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:48.239 physicians must sign on too, and so you know, the 1110 01:04:48.280 --> 01:04:51.559 American Board of Emergency Medicine, for instance, requires physicians, if 1111 01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:55.079 they're going to participate in the board certification process, to 1112 01:04:55.400 --> 01:04:59.400 acknowledge their implicit and explicit biases. And you know, again 1113 01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:03.000 that really and present a charge on somebody that already 1114 01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:06.199 going into things. They're doing things in the wrong way. 1115 01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:09.320 They're doing things because of racism, structural racism, of all 1116 01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:12.480 these different ideas, and that doesn't judge people based on 1117 01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:15.079 the individual and who they are and how they're performing. 1118 01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:18.119 Especially in an emergency department situation where people are coming 1119 01:05:18.159 --> 01:05:21.400 in at critical moments in their life, the last thing 1120 01:05:21.400 --> 01:05:23.599 that we're thinking about is the race of the individual. 1121 01:05:23.639 --> 01:05:24.920 The first thing we're thinking about of how do we 1122 01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:27.320 save this person, how do we help them immediately? And 1123 01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:30.920 so it really becomes very wearing on the medical profession 1124 01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:33.840 of medical field. And frankly, we've seen people decide not 1125 01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:36.519 to renew their lives or not to participate. And you know, 1126 01:05:36.599 --> 01:05:39.639 we need more healthcare providers to provide good quality care, 1127 01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:42.639 not less. And it's training such as that that unfortunately 1128 01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:46.119 drive people away because of the ideology that they impart. 1129 01:05:46.039 --> 01:05:49.400 Great point, doctor cart Masseli. So you're saying, if a 1130 01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:52.320 young Bill Cunningham wanted to go to medical school, I'd 1131 01:05:52.320 --> 01:05:55.400 have to first certify then I'm a racist. I have 1132 01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:59.960 to certify that I understand that I need implicit biased training. 1133 01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:02.599 I have to say that I need training on critical 1134 01:06:02.679 --> 01:06:06.119 race theory. I have to certify that I'm I'm an 1135 01:06:06.119 --> 01:06:09.800 anti racism advocate. So to get into medical school, I 1136 01:06:09.840 --> 01:06:13.239 have to certify that I'm a racist. To become a doctor. 1137 01:06:14.760 --> 01:06:14.920 All. 1138 01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:17.920 You know, for medical schools, there is a process that 1139 01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:21.760 has folks fill out an application, and oftentimes those applications 1140 01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:24.440 are very much related to the diversity initiative that someone 1141 01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:27.400 has taken. It's a little bit later that often comes 1142 01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:30.519 out the demands for implicit bias, and you know, it 1143 01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:32.239 depends on the school. With some schools it might be 1144 01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:34.920 the first week where folks are learning about anti racism 1145 01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:38.320 and healthcare and trankly the first week of orientation if anything, 1146 01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:41.880 should be about the practice of medicine, the hippocratic oath, 1147 01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:44.800 the values of what brings us there. But unfortunately the 1148 01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:47.480 ideology is there. And necessarily what I was speaking to 1149 01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:50.639 was the board certification, so is as one actually is 1150 01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:55.199 now an independently practicing position. Unfortunately, some board requirements have 1151 01:06:55.519 --> 01:06:58.320 made folks acknowledge their implicit bias or as we said, 1152 01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:02.039 some licenses in order to be an unpracticing position. It 1153 01:07:02.440 --> 01:07:05.000 really I mean, you're right, much of it does start 1154 01:07:05.039 --> 01:07:07.320 in the medical school and even the application process, and 1155 01:07:07.679 --> 01:07:11.760 unfortunately it just sometimes gets worse along the way. And 1156 01:07:12.079 --> 01:07:13.840 that's what an organization like to no harm. I mean, 1157 01:07:13.840 --> 01:07:16.480 that's what we we're really combating, is to look at 1158 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:19.000 these elements of DEI that have been so destructive and 1159 01:07:19.400 --> 01:07:24.119 so divisive, looking to find ways of focusing on quality, 1160 01:07:24.199 --> 01:07:27.039 focusing on merits, focusing on the things that really matter 1161 01:07:27.400 --> 01:07:29.280 to folks when they're in that healthcare environment. 1162 01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:32.360 Well, can a black person be racist? If if I'm 1163 01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:35.159 a black gay man and I'm applying, do I have 1164 01:07:35.239 --> 01:07:39.559 to certify that I'm a racist and have anti gay biases? 1165 01:07:39.760 --> 01:07:42.440 Is this only for a white Christian males? Or does 1166 01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:45.159 a black person have to certify that they're they're not 1167 01:07:45.199 --> 01:07:48.039 a racist? They need to certify they have have to 1168 01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:51.239 certify that I have biases as a black person, therefore 1169 01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:53.400 I need to be cured of my biases. Does it 1170 01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:55.840 only apply to one gender, one race or everybody? 1171 01:07:57.039 --> 01:07:57.239 You know? 1172 01:07:57.280 --> 01:08:00.280 The these application questions are open for everybody to to 1173 01:08:00.360 --> 01:08:05.079 state their experience with diversity, equity, inclusion and such, and 1174 01:08:05.199 --> 01:08:08.119 so it really does leave it open to everyone to 1175 01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:11.920 offer their thoughts about those things. But again, is that 1176 01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:14.760 really part and parcel to what an emission process should 1177 01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:18.439 entail And shouldn't we be looking at the grades and 1178 01:08:18.520 --> 01:08:22.039 the test performance. And additionally, it's certainly fair to understand 1179 01:08:22.039 --> 01:08:25.159 the quickular activities and the things that someone has done 1180 01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:27.640 the course of their life. But when we lose when 1181 01:08:27.680 --> 01:08:32.399 we focus unfortunately on race and division, we lose sight 1182 01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:36.479 of those elements that look towards qualifications. And one of 1183 01:08:36.520 --> 01:08:39.439 the things that that we do know is that students 1184 01:08:39.439 --> 01:08:41.560 who do better on the MCAP, the emission test for 1185 01:08:41.960 --> 01:08:45.159 medical school, tend to perform better in medical school. We 1186 01:08:45.239 --> 01:08:47.720 know that students who do better in medical school tend 1187 01:08:47.760 --> 01:08:50.720 to perform better in residency training as a physician. And 1188 01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:54.840 we know that resident physicians who pass the board exams, 1189 01:08:54.840 --> 01:08:58.199 for instance, will actually have better outcomes in terms of 1190 01:08:58.720 --> 01:09:02.640 mortality and re admissions for Medicare benefitiary. So we know 1191 01:09:02.720 --> 01:09:05.560 there is a chain of connection there that merit does matter. 1192 01:09:05.680 --> 01:09:08.640 It matters to how that physician is going to perform 1193 01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:11.039 and how they're going to function. And again, I think 1194 01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:13.239 it's each and every one of us who wants the 1195 01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:16.800 very best provider before us when we're in that critical 1196 01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:21.279 situation and need really life saving care, or any care 1197 01:09:21.319 --> 01:09:22.840 for that matter, no matter what it may be. 1198 01:09:23.079 --> 01:09:25.239 Doctor Masseli, I read a story in the Wall Street 1199 01:09:25.319 --> 01:09:29.640 Journal that this industry and it's an industry of DEI 1200 01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:35.079 and anti racism and critical race theory as practiced by 1201 01:09:35.279 --> 01:09:40.399 hundreds of thousands of employees. This is a huge business 1202 01:09:40.920 --> 01:09:43.439 and this business will not be given up by those 1203 01:09:43.520 --> 01:09:47.640 engaged in it lightly. They are completely believing that racism 1204 01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:51.720 is hiding everywhere in American society, that critical race theory 1205 01:09:51.760 --> 01:09:55.840 attributes all nations problems to racism, no matter what it is, 1206 01:09:56.159 --> 01:09:58.760 that all of us have an anti race, have a 1207 01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:02.239 racism bias. We have to learn what anti racism is. 1208 01:10:02.399 --> 01:10:04.640 We have to learn about gender affirming care, we have 1209 01:10:04.680 --> 01:10:07.680 to learn about the ad biases. President, each of us, 1210 01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:10.079 do you understand that this effort of yours and others 1211 01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:12.560 is going to take a long time before the eight 1212 01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:16.680 billion dollars and there's hundreds of thousands working in this industry. 1213 01:10:16.880 --> 01:10:18.840 They're not easily going to give up their work. You 1214 01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:22.439 understand it's about money, It's not about making better doctors 1215 01:10:22.520 --> 01:10:26.399 or better lawyers or better cops. It's about making money. 1216 01:10:26.640 --> 01:10:29.840 And the industry wants to make money. When the issue 1217 01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:33.199 is what's causing this difficulty or how to solve it. 1218 01:10:33.199 --> 01:10:36.840 It's always about money, is it not, And that this industry. 1219 01:10:36.600 --> 01:10:39.960 If there's a thousand people at the University of Michigan 1220 01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:42.479 involved in this kind of crap, and that's just one 1221 01:10:42.520 --> 01:10:47.039 of thousands of examples, those involved in this industry of 1222 01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:50.039 racism will not quickly give up their business, correct. 1223 01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:54.159 I think that's what we have to really be watchful for. So, 1224 01:10:54.279 --> 01:10:57.359 for instance, University of Michigan has said, I think maybe 1225 01:10:57.359 --> 01:11:00.399 a few weeks ago, that they will begin dismantling the 1226 01:11:00.600 --> 01:11:03.439 DEI initiatives, and we need to follow that. We need 1227 01:11:03.479 --> 01:11:07.600 to make sure that when organizations institutions say they're going 1228 01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:11.199 to dismantle change things, that they truly rid themselves of 1229 01:11:11.279 --> 01:11:15.039 those DEI principles that are discriminatory and that really hurt 1230 01:11:15.079 --> 01:11:20.279 the meritocracy. It is very much ingrained in many institutions, 1231 01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:22.920 many schools, and I think it's really calls to the 1232 01:11:22.960 --> 01:11:26.119 importance of organizations like Do No Harm that are that 1233 01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:30.159 are membership organizations and are focused on getting identity politics 1234 01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:33.760 out of the medical profession and certainly for other organizations, 1235 01:11:33.760 --> 01:11:35.560 you know, out of getting into out of their professional 1236 01:11:35.800 --> 01:11:38.239 areas as well. It is going to take effort, it's 1237 01:11:38.279 --> 01:11:40.439 going to take time, and it's going to take people 1238 01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:42.560 speaking up, you know. For Do No Harm, we have 1239 01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:45.039 a tipline. We welcome people to come to our website 1240 01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:48.079 do No Harmmedicine dot org so they can provide information 1241 01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:50.319 as to what might be going on at their school 1242 01:11:50.399 --> 01:11:54.159 or at their organization, their healthcare provider, hospital or such 1243 01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:58.720 whereby they where those organizations if they're not you know, 1244 01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:02.880 really following principles really meritocracy, but still lead to DEI. 1245 01:12:03.319 --> 01:12:05.319 We're curious to hear about that. We want to be 1246 01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:08.720 able to shine a light upon it because our belief 1247 01:12:08.760 --> 01:12:10.920 is that if we can shine light upon this, we 1248 01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:14.319 can make America where and we can really cause action 1249 01:12:14.439 --> 01:12:18.239 to take place, because folk will realize that we need 1250 01:12:18.279 --> 01:12:22.720 to restore and return to those principles that again focus 1251 01:12:22.760 --> 01:12:26.760 on enhancing quality, on improving outcomes. And for medicine, it 1252 01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:29.399 certainly relates to trust as well and the importance of 1253 01:12:29.439 --> 01:12:33.840 having integrity and really believing in the medical system and 1254 01:12:33.920 --> 01:12:37.720 having confidence that it will provide for you throughout throughout 1255 01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:38.319 your lifetime. 1256 01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:40.560 You know, doctor Missellie, a lot of work ahead of you. 1257 01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:44.239 And the liberals are hoping that Trump leaves office in 1258 01:12:44.319 --> 01:12:46.520 about three and a half to four years. He's going 1259 01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:50.640 to leave office, and they just hold on, rename DEI, 1260 01:12:51.199 --> 01:12:55.279 rename discrimination, that we employ, change the name, and just 1261 01:12:55.359 --> 01:12:58.920 way through or four years, we'll get maybe someone like 1262 01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:03.439 Governor Pritzer or maybe Kamala Harris will be the next 1263 01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:07.079 president and we're back in business again, beating the dead 1264 01:13:07.119 --> 01:13:10.439 horse of racism for personal benefit, lots of money. And 1265 01:13:10.479 --> 01:13:13.279 I would know that Michelle Obama and or podcast recently 1266 01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:16.560 said that racism is everywhere and that way to fight 1267 01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:19.239 against it, and that's a big industry. It's a lie 1268 01:13:19.560 --> 01:13:21.920 that all of us have implicit advices of one type 1269 01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:25.119 or another. But it's not intrinsic, it is not incorrigible. 1270 01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:27.520 It doesn't what we live in. The most are racially 1271 01:13:27.600 --> 01:13:30.880 free organization America and the history of the world. I'm 1272 01:13:30.920 --> 01:13:32.720 proud to be in America and I'm proud of what 1273 01:13:32.760 --> 01:13:35.159 we've done. And the liberals who must be fun that 1274 01:13:35.279 --> 01:13:37.560 must be identified, and it's going to take more than 1275 01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:39.920 four years of Donald Trump. It's going to take a 1276 01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:42.600 long time. As we took us thirty years to get here, 1277 01:13:42.840 --> 01:13:44.920 may take us thirty years to get out. But the 1278 01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:48.399 longest journey begins with the first step. Do no Harmmedicine 1279 01:13:48.439 --> 01:13:51.760 dot Org. Doctor Curt Masseli, good luck to you, and 1280 01:13:51.840 --> 01:13:54.640 God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you very much, Doc. 1281 01:13:55.560 --> 01:13:57.239 Appreciate Bill.

Let's continue with more fund an organization. 1283 01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:03.199 You get more of it when you fund these groups 1284 01:14:03.600 --> 01:14:08.119 that DEI all over colleges, universities, police departments, municipal governments, 1285 01:14:08.279 --> 01:14:11.760 the US military and the National Guard. Fund all these groups, 1286 01:14:12.039 --> 01:14:13.960 you get more of it. So they keep looking for 1287 01:14:14.079 --> 01:14:17.359 racism when it doesn't exist to justify their job. Go 1288 01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:20.479 Cunningham the Great American. Live with you every Sunday Night 1289 01:14:33.279 --> 01:14:36.479 by Billy Cunningham the Great American. Imagine this. You have 1290 01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:40.199 a doctrination program underway in the most elite medical schools 1291 01:14:40.800 --> 01:14:45.399 that demand adherence through a particular political viewpoint. Otherwise you 1292 01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:47.880 can't get in. And if you can't, if you do 1293 01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:50.880 get in, you don't get grades in medical school. And 1294 01:14:50.920 --> 01:14:53.399 if you get grades. You won't be credentialed or get 1295 01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:57.319 your choice based upon your political viewpoint. Do no harm. 1296 01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:00.279 Check it out the website, Do No Harm, and doctor 1297 01:15:00.319 --> 01:15:03.239 Kurt Masseli laid it out pretty clearly how much trouble 1298 01:15:03.279 --> 01:15:06.279 we're in, and we're in serious difficulty. You can imagine 1299 01:15:06.279 --> 01:15:08.760 if the shoe was on the other foot, and really 1300 01:15:08.880 --> 01:15:13.239 right wing conservative viewpoints are demanded of our medical colleges universities, 1301 01:15:13.399 --> 01:15:16.600 how big the outcry would be. Let's continue with more 1302 01:15:16.600 --> 01:15:19.760 coming up. Next is is Jeri Kaufman. He's got to 1303 01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:23.359 book out American Intofada Israel because of war and the 1304 01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:27.760 new anti Semitism. This is extremely important because beginning Tuesday, 1305 01:15:27.800 --> 01:15:30.840 Wednesday and Thursday, our great President's going to fly to 1306 01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:33.960 cutter and the UAE and Saudi Arabia and the rumors 1307 01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:36.960 it might be something to do with Israel also to 1308 01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:40.680 try to get the piece accord underway. And it looks 1309 01:15:40.680 --> 01:15:42.680 as if there's peace breaking out all over the world. 1310 01:15:42.840 --> 01:15:44.800 Bill cunning and the Great American with you and all 1311 01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:46.760 great Americans every Sunday. 1312 01:15:46.479 --> 01:16:20.560 Night, willie you by choice. 1313 01:16:20.560 --> 01:16:24.119 Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway Hotels are serving up double 1314 01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:27.039 points for every qualifying stay book at Choice. 1315 01:16:26.760 --> 01:16:28.319 Hotels dot com. 1316 01:16:28.359 --> 01:16:31.800 Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best, 1317 01:16:32.119 --> 01:16:36.000 the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards 1318 01:16:36.079 --> 01:16:37.880 for his broadcast excellence. 1319 01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:41.359 The one and only Bill cunninghad. 1320 01:16:42.199 --> 01:16:44.399 By Billy Cunningham, the Great America. And two or three 1321 01:16:44.399 --> 01:16:47.039 months ago we had on Yuri Kaufman, who's written a 1322 01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:50.439 book called American Intavada, Israel, the Gaza War and the 1323 01:16:50.479 --> 01:16:54.039 New Anti Semitism, and he was such a fabulous guest. 1324 01:16:54.079 --> 01:16:55.840 So much is going on this week, and I guess 1325 01:16:55.960 --> 01:16:58.520 next week, and the President's going to the Middle East, 1326 01:16:58.840 --> 01:17:03.000 I guess the cutter and you into Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. 1327 01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:05.880 See what comes of that. There's rumors he may head 1328 01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:09.079 to Israel at some point. I don't know, but piece 1329 01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:12.159 is breaking out everywhere. And now I'm told that by 1330 01:17:12.520 --> 01:17:15.279 Ambassador wit Cough so to speak, that Iran is ready 1331 01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:17.640 to make a deal. I believe that when hell phrase 1332 01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:21.920 is over and we have complete splits on American campuses. 1333 01:17:21.960 --> 01:17:26.439 Today most of the graduations have taken place, and I 1334 01:17:26.520 --> 01:17:29.920 kind of have two eyes, and I like to see 1335 01:17:29.920 --> 01:17:33.279 what goes on before I say, boy, this is wonderful 1336 01:17:33.279 --> 01:17:36.039 what's happening in the world. But Uri Kaufman, welcome again 1337 01:17:36.039 --> 01:17:38.640 to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, let's 1338 01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:42.319 deal first with what's happening in Gaza. And it appears 1339 01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:44.680 the President's going to be in the Middle East in 1340 01:17:44.720 --> 01:17:46.479 two or three days from now to try to work 1341 01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:49.920 out situation. Are you encouraged, discouraged or you kind of 1342 01:17:49.960 --> 01:17:51.920 have a wait and see attitude about what's happening. 1343 01:17:52.960 --> 01:17:55.119 Yeah, I'm gonna go wait and see. It is a 1344 01:17:55.159 --> 01:17:57.840 lot going on in a very short period of time. 1345 01:17:57.920 --> 01:18:01.119 Things have a way of changing very quickly. People have 1346 01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:05.000 a way of planting stories that are frankly false. There's 1347 01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:06.960 actually a bit of a scandal going on right now 1348 01:18:07.000 --> 01:18:10.000 in Israel. It's called cut our Gates, as in Watergate, 1349 01:18:10.039 --> 01:18:12.920 only with Cutter, because it turned out that Cutter was 1350 01:18:12.960 --> 01:18:17.119 paying people to plant stories in Israeli media that were 1351 01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:20.159 completely false, and one of them was actually dangerous. One 1352 01:18:20.199 --> 01:18:23.720 of the stories they planted was that Egypt was massing 1353 01:18:23.760 --> 01:18:27.520 an army on Israel's border, perhaps with hostile intent. None 1354 01:18:27.560 --> 01:18:30.199 of it was true. Why they would do something so 1355 01:18:30.319 --> 01:18:33.840 crazy is beyond me. But the point is there's a 1356 01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:37.359 lot of information flying around in Israel right now, and 1357 01:18:37.399 --> 01:18:39.600 it's really hard to say what's true and what's false. 1358 01:18:39.640 --> 01:18:43.359 I will say this though, Ambassador Huckabee probably one of 1359 01:18:43.359 --> 01:18:45.960 the finest ambassadors we have working for us right now. 1360 01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:50.359 Obviously an outstanding governor, was a major candidate for president, 1361 01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:52.880 came in second place back in eighty one eight states 1362 01:18:52.880 --> 01:18:56.199 in the primaries, lost to John McCain. No shame in that. 1363 01:18:56.640 --> 01:18:59.079 And he said there's no break at all between President 1364 01:18:59.159 --> 01:19:00.600 Trump and Minison at you. 1365 01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:01.640 So I'll go with that. 1366 01:19:02.319 --> 01:19:03.640 He's reliable as they come. 1367 01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:08.199 And in a free, open society, of course, Cuttergate is available. 1368 01:19:08.199 --> 01:19:10.880 And what the media and this country plays up loudly 1369 01:19:11.479 --> 01:19:13.760 is the fact that there's part of Israeli society that 1370 01:19:13.840 --> 01:19:16.640 thinks the Israeli armies should get the hell out of Gaza, 1371 01:19:16.800 --> 01:19:19.760 give it back over to Hamas, get the hostages home. 1372 01:19:20.039 --> 01:19:22.680 It's a great thing that the last American osage is 1373 01:19:22.720 --> 01:19:25.359 going to be released soon, if not been released already, 1374 01:19:25.520 --> 01:19:29.840 and eating Alexander, and that's a good thing. But so 1375 01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:32.399 you're saying from Israeli media, and I was there a 1376 01:19:32.439 --> 01:19:35.359 couple of years ago. I loved my visit to israel 1377 01:19:35.720 --> 01:19:39.239 I love what I was seeing as a practicing Roman Catholic, 1378 01:19:39.239 --> 01:19:42.479 I love the new Pope, etc. However, you take it 1379 01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:45.039 with a grain of salt. If there was an Israeli 1380 01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:48.239 real public relation pool about whether or not ten thousand 1381 01:19:48.359 --> 01:19:52.399 more of the IDF reserves should be called up to 1382 01:19:52.560 --> 01:19:54.920 have the final solutions, so to speak, in Gaza, to 1383 01:19:54.960 --> 01:19:57.159 clean it out of a moss, what would the vote 1384 01:19:57.199 --> 01:19:59.479 be to the great majority of Israeli's No, what's at 1385 01:19:59.520 --> 01:19:59.960 stake here? 1386 01:20:01.439 --> 01:20:01.680 Oh? 1387 01:20:01.720 --> 01:20:06.399 Absolutely? Now understand Israel's a democracy, and what happened in 1388 01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:10.439 America in World War Two, where the public rallied completely 1389 01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:14.039 behind a war effort for the entire duration of the war. 1390 01:20:14.359 --> 01:20:17.119 That was a one off. Every war that America has 1391 01:20:17.159 --> 01:20:20.600 ever fought in its history had its anti war faction, 1392 01:20:20.800 --> 01:20:23.600 had its controversy, whether it was the Civil War, the 1393 01:20:23.680 --> 01:20:27.119 Revolutionary War. I mean, imagine protesting against George Washington. Well, 1394 01:20:27.159 --> 01:20:29.119 there was a faction that did. I don't have to 1395 01:20:29.119 --> 01:20:31.720 tell you what went on during Vietnam a career. That's 1396 01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:34.720 the typical. In a democracy, people are going to have 1397 01:20:34.920 --> 01:20:38.640 different points of view. Israel is no different from us. 1398 01:20:38.760 --> 01:20:41.319 Now what the people who are anti war, though, are 1399 01:20:41.399 --> 01:20:44.920 saying is downright silly. What they're saying is as follows. 1400 01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:48.239 They're not saying they want to leave the Moss in power. 1401 01:20:48.560 --> 01:20:50.880 They understand what that means. It means go home and 1402 01:20:50.920 --> 01:20:53.039 prepare the eight nine year olds for the next nine 1403 01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:56.840 October seventh attack. What the people are saying is simply this, 1404 01:20:57.279 --> 01:21:01.960 let's get the hostages back a ceasefire agreement, and then 1405 01:21:02.399 --> 01:21:06.520 we'll wait for Hamas to make one little misstep and 1406 01:21:06.760 --> 01:21:10.239 violate the ceasefire, and then we'll go in and destroy Hamas. 1407 01:21:10.319 --> 01:21:14.600 Now that logic is downright ridiculous, Benjamin, and youo heard 1408 01:21:14.640 --> 01:21:18.000 it from his head of the shin Bet, and he 1409 01:21:18.119 --> 01:21:20.199 frankly blew up and he said, you're an idiot. And 1410 01:21:20.279 --> 01:21:24.039 he's right. It's a ridiculous thing to think that the 1411 01:21:24.119 --> 01:21:27.199 international community is going to sit back and let Israel 1412 01:21:27.279 --> 01:21:29.640 do something like that. Kamas has said the only way 1413 01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:32.680 they will agree to such a ceasefire is if it 1414 01:21:32.800 --> 01:21:37.560 is guaranteed by America, Russia, Turkey, the European Union, China, 1415 01:21:37.920 --> 01:21:41.159 a UN Security Council resolution. I mean the idea that 1416 01:21:41.239 --> 01:21:44.079 is that would just be able over some infraction to 1417 01:21:44.239 --> 01:21:46.439 ignore that and go back in the later is just 1418 01:21:46.479 --> 01:21:49.159 flat out ridiculous. So I would take all this with 1419 01:21:49.239 --> 01:21:52.439 a grain of salt. The Israeli public is solidly. 1420 01:21:52.039 --> 01:21:53.079 Behind the war goals. 1421 01:21:53.359 --> 01:21:56.479 Kamas has simply got to go Otherwise, we're just going 1422 01:21:56.560 --> 01:21:59.000 to be doing this again and again and again forever. 1423 01:21:59.319 --> 01:22:02.840 And I wouldn't know to your Kaufman that repeatedly there's 1424 01:22:02.880 --> 01:22:06.439 been Palestinians themselves that have said even they can't take 1425 01:22:06.479 --> 01:22:10.720 a moss anymore. And when someone surfaces, they're beheaded. And 1426 01:22:10.760 --> 01:22:14.600 the Palestinian Arab suffering is caused by Hamas and by 1427 01:22:14.680 --> 01:22:19.399 Iran indirectly. It's not about to Hamas about building schools 1428 01:22:19.439 --> 01:22:23.199 and hospitals and bridges and factories. It's not about infrastructure, 1429 01:22:23.439 --> 01:22:27.079 not about creating jobs or nurturing a culture, or volunteerism 1430 01:22:27.319 --> 01:22:30.600 or advancing education. It's all about using the billions and 1431 01:22:30.680 --> 01:22:34.239 billions of dollars given to the so called Gaza over 1432 01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:36.640 the past several years, beginning at least twenty oh five, 1433 01:22:36.720 --> 01:22:39.600 twenty years when Israeli pulled out. It's all about one thing, 1434 01:22:39.880 --> 01:22:42.479 which is killing the jew wherever they might be located, 1435 01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:45.359 in killing Americans. And that's not going to change, which 1436 01:22:45.399 --> 01:22:48.279 brings me to my second part. Right now, we're told 1437 01:22:48.279 --> 01:22:51.800 that Iran is on the verge of peace and it's 1438 01:22:51.840 --> 01:22:55.960 going to get rid of their nuclear bomb nuclear missile technology. 1439 01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:58.319 I believe that when health freeze is over, and I 1440 01:22:58.359 --> 01:23:00.960 hope we're not suckered into Iran once again to believing 1441 01:23:01.039 --> 01:23:05.079 they want piece. They don't need nuclear power in Iran 1442 01:23:05.159 --> 01:23:08.359 for electricity. They have the cheapest electricity right now in 1443 01:23:08.359 --> 01:23:10.840 the Middle East, it's almost free. They want to get 1444 01:23:10.880 --> 01:23:14.239 these nuclear centrifugus up to weapons great, and they want 1445 01:23:14.239 --> 01:23:16.359 to use it and marry it with a missile and 1446 01:23:16.439 --> 01:23:18.439 destroy Israel. Am I right or wrong? 1447 01:23:19.560 --> 01:23:21.640 Well, you're one hundred percent right, And you know the 1448 01:23:21.680 --> 01:23:25.560 proof is really very simple. The administration is said, if Iran, 1449 01:23:25.720 --> 01:23:30.119 for some bizarre reason, wants a civilian nuclear program, they 1450 01:23:30.159 --> 01:23:33.520 can have a civilian nuclear program. Did like twenty countries 1451 01:23:33.560 --> 01:23:35.720 that do. And the way it's done is real simple. 1452 01:23:36.000 --> 01:23:40.000 They import the nuclear fuel into those countries. It's at 1453 01:23:40.000 --> 01:23:43.199 a three and a half percent enrichment level, which is 1454 01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:46.439 well below what you can use in a weapon. You 1455 01:23:46.479 --> 01:23:49.000 can use it for civilian purposes, you can use it 1456 01:23:49.039 --> 01:23:51.520 in a power plant, you can use it for nuclear medicine, 1457 01:23:51.560 --> 01:23:53.000 but you can't use it at three and a half 1458 01:23:53.000 --> 01:23:54.840 percent for a bomb for that and you close it 1459 01:23:54.840 --> 01:23:57.680 to ninety percent. So what they do is they import 1460 01:23:57.840 --> 01:24:00.680 the three and a half percent enriched uranium into those countries, 1461 01:24:00.880 --> 01:24:03.920 then they take back the spent fuel. It's a great system. 1462 01:24:03.960 --> 01:24:06.720 It's been around for decades. It works really well. It's 1463 01:24:06.720 --> 01:24:09.279 been offered to Iran, and of course Iron keeps saying, well, no, 1464 01:24:09.319 --> 01:24:12.000 we don't want that, we want to enrich your rangeum. Well, 1465 01:24:12.199 --> 01:24:14.479 the minute they say they want to enrich ranium is 1466 01:24:14.520 --> 01:24:16.520 only one reason why anyone would want to do that. 1467 01:24:16.600 --> 01:24:19.199 So it's pretty obvious. You know where they're where they're pointed, 1468 01:24:19.520 --> 01:24:22.560 and you know this is not a normal country like 1469 01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:24.000 a Russia, like a China that. 1470 01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:25.600 Could be deterred these guys. 1471 01:24:25.640 --> 01:24:28.000 If we've learned one thing from the October seven attack, 1472 01:24:28.600 --> 01:24:30.880 it's that they don't think the way we do. And 1473 01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:34.319 their leaders have been saying outwardly, look why, you know, 1474 01:24:34.439 --> 01:24:38.079 raise our kids, educate them. We don't want that. We 1475 01:24:38.199 --> 01:24:39.880 just want to kill the Jews. We just want to 1476 01:24:39.920 --> 01:24:43.600 create a caliphate. And that is what Ayatolakomaimi said when 1477 01:24:43.640 --> 01:24:46.359 he was alive. He used to say the revolution was 1478 01:24:46.399 --> 01:24:49.439 not about water, the price of watermelons. But by that 1479 01:24:49.560 --> 01:24:52.039 he meant, my job is not to produce a better 1480 01:24:52.119 --> 01:24:54.640 economy job the things that you and I take for 1481 01:24:54.720 --> 01:24:57.920 granted from our government, He said, Our job is to 1482 01:24:58.000 --> 01:24:59.880 spread Islam, radical Islam. A. 1483 01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:00.680 Our job is to. 1484 01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:04.119 Create a calisate. Having a nuclear weapon and hands like 1485 01:25:04.159 --> 01:25:06.880 that makes a very very dangerous world, and not just 1486 01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:09.560 for Israel, but really for everybody. I could just go 1487 01:25:09.680 --> 01:25:11.560 back to Gaza for a second. I would just point 1488 01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:14.920 out one thing. They constantly go on television, people who 1489 01:25:14.920 --> 01:25:18.159 are sympathetic to the Palestinians or the Palestinians themselves, and 1490 01:25:18.199 --> 01:25:20.880 they talk about the suffering in Gaza, and I have 1491 01:25:21.000 --> 01:25:23.000 to say, all of it is true, and all of 1492 01:25:23.039 --> 01:25:26.880 it is heartbreaking. But there's a real, real simple response. 1493 01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:30.920 If it's so terrible, why don't you just make peace? 1494 01:25:31.640 --> 01:25:35.239 Why don't you just recognize israel so called right to exist? 1495 01:25:35.279 --> 01:25:38.279 Why don't you just agree to the two states solution, 1496 01:25:38.439 --> 01:25:41.600 which Israel and Benjamin and you know, agreed two decades ago. 1497 01:25:42.039 --> 01:25:45.520 And you know, I watch other media, and particular liberal media, 1498 01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:48.520 legacy media, and this goes on and on and on, 1499 01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:50.680 and they go on and on about how they're suffering, 1500 01:25:50.720 --> 01:25:53.199 and it never even occurs to anybody. Just ask that 1501 01:25:53.279 --> 01:25:56.479 simple question, Well, if it's so terrible, why don't you 1502 01:25:56.800 --> 01:25:59.800 just end it? Why don't you just sign a peace treaty? 1503 01:26:00.119 --> 01:26:03.680 What is stopping you? The thing to always remember is 1504 01:26:03.680 --> 01:26:07.239 Israel is not waging war against Gaza. Gaza is waging 1505 01:26:07.279 --> 01:26:10.279 war against Israel. That's the core problem. 1506 01:26:10.600 --> 01:26:15.119 Jerry Kaufman. This could end tomorrow the next day. Surrender 1507 01:26:15.439 --> 01:26:19.880 Hamas is lost, put down your weapons, invite the Israelis in, 1508 01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:23.560 release the hostages, and let's talk about reconstruction, whatever that 1509 01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:27.279 might be. But whether it's Hamas or Hesbla, Boko Haram, 1510 01:26:27.680 --> 01:26:31.079 just Taliban, just is whatever term you want to use. 1511 01:26:31.319 --> 01:26:34.840 It's a culture of death. It's not a culture of life. 1512 01:26:34.920 --> 01:26:38.600 Even the German Nazi soldiers wanted to live, the Russian 1513 01:26:38.720 --> 01:26:41.520 soldiers after World War Two, they wanted to live. But 1514 01:26:41.640 --> 01:26:44.840 the goal of these Islamic extreme groups is to die. 1515 01:26:44.960 --> 01:26:47.560 Their purpose is not to build schools and a nurture 1516 01:26:47.600 --> 01:26:51.720 and culture or like. They're channeling their fury against Israel. 1517 01:26:52.079 --> 01:26:55.600 And they've been given the opportunity countless times and they've 1518 01:26:55.640 --> 01:26:59.920 balked every time. Using the billions in order to reward suicide, 1519 01:27:00.600 --> 01:27:03.760 giving stipends and naming streets and parks after those who 1520 01:27:03.840 --> 01:27:07.000 murder innocent men, women and children, and they indoctrinate their 1521 01:27:07.000 --> 01:27:10.319 own children with the hatred, hatred of the jew in 1522 01:27:10.319 --> 01:27:12.920 the Western culture. And this isn't a way to build 1523 01:27:12.920 --> 01:27:15.920 a nation, it's a way. It's a suicide cult. And 1524 01:27:16.520 --> 01:27:20.640 our media and those ridiculous students at Columbia and at 1525 01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:22.840 Harvard and Yale and all over the country and the 1526 01:27:22.960 --> 01:27:26.199 University of Washington, they're paid for, their bought and paid 1527 01:27:26.239 --> 01:27:27.760 for and e I don't like it here, get the 1528 01:27:27.800 --> 01:27:30.840 hell out. But the point is it's a culture of death. 1529 01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:34.279 And until Iran and Hamas says, you know, we're done, 1530 01:27:34.560 --> 01:27:36.600 we're not going to build any more bombs and missiles. 1531 01:27:36.680 --> 01:27:38.399 All this aid we're going to use to feed our 1532 01:27:38.399 --> 01:27:42.039 own people. Those responsible in gosp for the suffering of 1533 01:27:42.079 --> 01:27:45.640 those millions of Goslins, about two million is Hamas and 1534 01:27:45.760 --> 01:27:48.279 Iran they're the ones responsible. 1535 01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:50.800 Oh absolutely. 1536 01:27:50.840 --> 01:27:53.279 And you know, we're in a unique moment. We're in 1537 01:27:53.319 --> 01:27:55.800 a moment now where there's been this hideous war. It's 1538 01:27:55.840 --> 01:27:58.159 gone on for about a year and a half. Israel 1539 01:27:58.279 --> 01:28:00.640 is very very very close to getting rid of Kamas. 1540 01:28:00.680 --> 01:28:04.479 We're already seeing protests in Gaza. We're seeing murdering its 1541 01:28:04.479 --> 01:28:07.279 own people to stay in power. They've been shooting people 1542 01:28:07.359 --> 01:28:10.079 in the streets. There was one guy, a prominent guy, 1543 01:28:10.079 --> 01:28:12.279 who was caught on camera. They caught him, they tortured 1544 01:28:12.359 --> 01:28:16.159 him to death. The family then retaliated against Kamas, so 1545 01:28:16.199 --> 01:28:18.640 they killed two Kamas guys. So you know things are 1546 01:28:18.680 --> 01:28:21.800 happening there where Hamas is already is grip on power 1547 01:28:21.840 --> 01:28:24.319 is starting to teeter. And now think of it this way. 1548 01:28:24.439 --> 01:28:27.600 Imagine we're closing in on Berlin. We've had this horrible, 1549 01:28:27.680 --> 01:28:31.399 hideous war, we're about to win, and then someone says, well, 1550 01:28:31.399 --> 01:28:34.520 all we need to stop because of the innocent German 1551 01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:37.720 civilians and all the suffering. So let's have a ceasefire. 1552 01:28:37.800 --> 01:28:40.159 Let's leave the Nazis in power. We know they're going 1553 01:28:40.239 --> 01:28:42.199 to reconstant, you know they're going to attack us again, 1554 01:28:42.279 --> 01:28:44.079 but you know we can't finish the job because of 1555 01:28:44.119 --> 01:28:47.640 the innocent German civilians and all the suffering they've been 1556 01:28:47.960 --> 01:28:51.840 It's ridiculous. This logic has never been employed in any 1557 01:28:51.920 --> 01:28:55.079 conflict in the history of the world against anyone. 1558 01:28:54.760 --> 01:28:55.960 Except for Israel. 1559 01:28:56.239 --> 01:28:59.039 And so the question I think that, I say, the 1560 01:28:59.079 --> 01:29:02.399 people in legacy media propagating this have to ask themselves 1561 01:29:02.479 --> 01:29:06.399 is why is real different? Why is this the only 1562 01:29:06.479 --> 01:29:09.960 war in the history of the world where Country A 1563 01:29:10.039 --> 01:29:13.159 invades Country B and when Country B is about to win, 1564 01:29:13.199 --> 01:29:15.319 We thought you got to stop because you know the 1565 01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:18.239 people of Country A are suffering when they could just 1566 01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:21.079 sign a peace treaty. There's just no reason for any 1567 01:29:21.079 --> 01:29:23.119 of this to go on. And all it does is 1568 01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:27.319 leave the Islamo Nazis in power, leave Clamas in power, 1569 01:29:27.560 --> 01:29:30.039 and prepare us for the next round. It's really just 1570 01:29:30.079 --> 01:29:31.239 a sad, sad story. 1571 01:29:31.520 --> 01:29:35.199 Can you address yourself briefly to what's happening on college campuses? 1572 01:29:35.600 --> 01:29:38.920 Graduation proceedings are happening everywhere. I think Columbia is having 1573 01:29:38.960 --> 01:29:41.159 one in a couple of days here they may have 1574 01:29:41.239 --> 01:29:45.039 to shut it down. What's happening to the several thousand 1575 01:29:45.239 --> 01:29:49.279 seemingly students the University of Washington or Columbia University of 1576 01:29:49.359 --> 01:29:52.840 Chicago that are hamas chapters and they're in a sense 1577 01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:56.079 permitted to run wild. Who's paying him? Do they believe 1578 01:29:56.119 --> 01:29:58.399 the crap coming out of their mouth? That stinks? What 1579 01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:01.239 is happening to college campuses, Yuri Kaufman. 1580 01:30:02.199 --> 01:30:03.159 It's a good question. 1581 01:30:03.279 --> 01:30:06.359 So a guy named Mark Kotlakov looked at this, and 1582 01:30:06.399 --> 01:30:09.319 what he found was this is more a phenomenon of 1583 01:30:09.399 --> 01:30:13.159 elite universities than ordinary universities like the one I went to. 1584 01:30:13.239 --> 01:30:15.600 I went to a city college at night. They don't 1585 01:30:15.600 --> 01:30:19.359 have any trouble there. It's primarily a problem of our 1586 01:30:19.399 --> 01:30:23.840 elite colleges of Harvard of Columbia, places like that. Some 1587 01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:27.920 say it's because Qatar has poured billions of dollars into 1588 01:30:27.960 --> 01:30:32.520 those universities and they've used that money to indoctrinate students. 1589 01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:35.319 I myself am not a big fan of that theory. 1590 01:30:35.359 --> 01:30:37.439 I mean, I think that certainly is a problem, and 1591 01:30:37.479 --> 01:30:39.239 I think that's something we ought to look at, and 1592 01:30:39.239 --> 01:30:41.560 whether we want to allow that to go on. I 1593 01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:43.399 think it just has more to do with the fact 1594 01:30:43.439 --> 01:30:46.760 that these are schools that, look, they tilt left. We 1595 01:30:46.800 --> 01:30:49.119 all know that, and I think we're in a moment 1596 01:30:49.239 --> 01:30:52.600 culturally where Look, as I've said, many times, let's just 1597 01:30:52.640 --> 01:30:56.439 do a simple thought experiment. Let's assume argument's sake, every 1598 01:30:56.479 --> 01:30:59.840 fact of the October seven attack happened exactly the way 1599 01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:02.600 it did. Let's just change one fact, so just to 1600 01:31:02.640 --> 01:31:06.000 go a little quick recap, twelve hundred people murdered, many 1601 01:31:06.039 --> 01:31:09.760 many women raped. It enjoyed universal support among the public. 1602 01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:13.399 The Palestinian public regularly refer to Jews, apes and pigs. 1603 01:31:13.479 --> 01:31:15.399 You don't believe me, go on Google type and US 1604 01:31:15.439 --> 01:31:18.720 apes and pigs. And then one final fact, the Biden 1605 01:31:18.760 --> 01:31:22.960 administration budgeted billions of dollars for GOZA. But what they 1606 01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:26.239 would turn the innocent civilians. Okay, let's assume all that happened, 1607 01:31:26.439 --> 01:31:32.279 but the attackers were Germans or Ukrainians or white South Africa. 1608 01:31:32.279 --> 01:31:34.920 The words white people who said Jews are apes and 1609 01:31:35.039 --> 01:31:37.760 six do you really think Biden would have given them billion? 1610 01:31:37.840 --> 01:31:40.239 And now let's hold the thought for a moment again, 1611 01:31:40.359 --> 01:31:43.760 stay with me on this thought experiment, in this parallel universe. Again, 1612 01:31:43.840 --> 01:31:48.479 white supremacists, not Arab supremacists, right, but they murdered twelve 1613 01:31:48.600 --> 01:31:52.119 hundred black people, and they rape black women and it 1614 01:31:52.199 --> 01:31:56.520 enjoys universal support. And then a Republican administration says we're 1615 01:31:56.560 --> 01:31:58.760 going to give billions of dollars of a to the 1616 01:31:58.960 --> 01:32:02.880 innocent whites, premises civilians. There one's the premissts who say 1617 01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:05.479 at blacks or apes and pigs, they'd be riding in 1618 01:32:05.479 --> 01:32:07.279 the streets. In other words, what we have here is 1619 01:32:07.279 --> 01:32:11.279 a classic case of cognitive dissonance in the elite universities. 1620 01:32:11.279 --> 01:32:14.840 They've been indoctrinated to fight for people of color in 1621 01:32:14.920 --> 01:32:18.720 every circumstance. Now the problem is that makes no sense 1622 01:32:18.720 --> 01:32:21.399 in this fact pattern with Israel and the Palestinians. So 1623 01:32:21.520 --> 01:32:24.800 then they change the facts to fit the narrative. And 1624 01:32:24.840 --> 01:32:28.039 that is why right after the October seven attack, Barack 1625 01:32:28.079 --> 01:32:29.800 Obama tweeted that we have. 1626 01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:30.520 To face facts. 1627 01:32:30.560 --> 01:32:33.000 There's unclean hands on both sides because it was he 1628 01:32:33.159 --> 01:32:37.479 termed the unbearable occupation. Well, there was no occupation. Israeli 1629 01:32:37.600 --> 01:32:39.439 withdrawn eighteen years before. 1630 01:32:39.880 --> 01:32:40.680 Just made it up. 1631 01:32:40.960 --> 01:32:43.600 The New York Times makes up stuff about Israel all 1632 01:32:43.680 --> 01:32:47.199 the time. It all falls into the same narrative because 1633 01:32:47.239 --> 01:32:50.319 they want to back people of color against what they 1634 01:32:50.399 --> 01:32:53.199 perceive as a white group of privilege, the Jews, and 1635 01:32:53.279 --> 01:32:55.319 so they change facts to fit that narrative. 1636 01:32:55.640 --> 01:32:59.199 Well, highly educated, generally white females, I think on a 1637 01:32:59.239 --> 01:33:03.239 Columbia eighty percent, we're highly educated white females that are 1638 01:33:03.319 --> 01:33:05.439 at the forefront of this too. I guess they make 1639 01:33:05.479 --> 01:33:08.039 their miserrabel lives seem relevant. But the name of the 1640 01:33:08.039 --> 01:33:11.640 book is American Intofada, Israel, the Gaza War and the 1641 01:33:11.680 --> 01:33:16.000 new anti Semitism. I didn't think Columbia University itself in 1642 01:33:16.079 --> 01:33:19.640 New York City would ever be declared to be anti Semitic, 1643 01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:23.159 but clearly it is. It's elite universities, not the trade schools. 1644 01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:27.079 That's not the case, not everage universities, the elite telling 1645 01:33:27.159 --> 01:33:29.439 us how to behave, how to think. Once again, you're 1646 01:33:29.479 --> 01:33:31.960 a coffin. Let's keep the lines of communication open. You're 1647 01:33:31.960 --> 01:33:34.239 a great American. And thanks for coming on the Bill 1648 01:33:34.279 --> 01:33:36.600 Cunningham Show. And the truth will set us all free. 1649 01:33:36.720 --> 01:33:38.880 Thank you, Yuri, it will. 1650 01:33:39.039 --> 01:33:39.680 Thanks for having me. 1651 01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:41.319 It's always just so great to be here. 1652 01:33:41.600 --> 01:33:43.920 God bless you. Thank you. Let's continue with more. There 1653 01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:49.159 it is, and this week's going to be consequential. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. 1654 01:33:49.159 --> 01:33:51.399 We'll see what happens. And thank God we have the 1655 01:33:51.479 --> 01:33:54.880 right guy in the White House right now. Bill Cunningham, 1656 01:33:54.920 --> 01:34:00.760 the Great American with you every Sunday night by Billy 1657 01:34:00.760 --> 01:34:03.079 counting in the Great American every few months. I want 1658 01:34:03.079 --> 01:34:06.119 to hear from Yuri Kaufman. You can't rely upon the 1659 01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:08.760 mainstream media for any accuracy when it comes to Israel. 1660 01:34:08.800 --> 01:34:11.800 They are about the only country in the world that, when 1661 01:34:11.800 --> 01:34:15.319 they're facing an existential threat of their destruction, is not 1662 01:34:15.319 --> 01:34:18.199 permitted to win. They've never been permitted to win any 1663 01:34:18.199 --> 01:34:20.760 of the five or six wars because the media and 1664 01:34:20.800 --> 01:34:23.880 the UN jumps in and says, you can't win. All 1665 01:34:23.920 --> 01:34:26.159 that would take for this war to end, and thank god, 1666 01:34:26.199 --> 01:34:29.640 the one American hostage is being released. Eaton Alexander is 1667 01:34:29.680 --> 01:34:34.159 for the amaster recognized reality, actually lay down their weapons 1668 01:34:34.199 --> 01:34:38.319 and have unconditional surrender. We lost you one. Come and 1669 01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:42.159 save our own people that we're destroying, and the hostages 1670 01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:44.000 are all gone. But they can't do that because they're 1671 01:34:44.039 --> 01:34:47.840 a culture of death, not a culture of life. Israel 1672 01:34:47.920 --> 01:34:54.159 is a participatory, functioning Western style democratic nation with large 1673 01:34:54.239 --> 01:34:57.399 numbers of Arab and Muslims, not just in their society 1674 01:34:57.720 --> 01:35:00.680 but in their kanesset. They're part of the government functioning. 1675 01:35:01.199 --> 01:35:05.159 Look what Hamas in Iran has done to Gaza. And 1676 01:35:05.399 --> 01:35:08.720 one comes away with one thought is that Israel must win. 1677 01:35:09.039 --> 01:35:11.439 And all Hamas has to do is sign a peace treaty, 1678 01:35:11.600 --> 01:35:14.520 put down their weapons, release the hostages. The war's over. 1679 01:35:15.279 --> 01:35:17.800 Let's continue with more coming up next as Mark Meckler 1680 01:35:18.159 --> 01:35:21.359 of the Constitutional Convention of the States. Bill Cunningham, the 1681 01:35:21.399 --> 01:35:23.520 Great American, With you and all of the great Americans 1682 01:35:24.119 --> 01:35:32.319 every Sunday Night, by Billy Cunningham, the Great American. The 1683 01:35:32.399 --> 01:35:35.800 wisdom our founding fathers is apparent to all that can see. 1684 01:35:35.840 --> 01:35:39.880 And in seventeen eighty seven and Philadelphia, the founding fathers 1685 01:35:39.880 --> 01:35:43.119 got together and draft the United States Constitution provided for 1686 01:35:43.119 --> 01:35:46.760 an amendment process. I think there's twenty seven currently in 1687 01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:50.079 which citizens can amend it by doing a couple things 1688 01:35:50.079 --> 01:35:51.880 such as two thirds of the House, two thirds of 1689 01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:54.640 the Senate, three force of the states. They had Article 1690 01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:59.000 five also in the United States Constitution from seventeen eighty seven, 1691 01:35:59.239 --> 01:36:02.479 which said that Article five says that they can be 1692 01:36:02.520 --> 01:36:05.560 a convention of the States. So instead of the process 1693 01:36:05.600 --> 01:36:08.359 of amendment going through the Congress, it goes directly to 1694 01:36:08.399 --> 01:36:10.960 the people. And one of the gentlemen in charge of 1695 01:36:11.000 --> 01:36:13.439 this effort to have a Convention of the States is 1696 01:36:13.920 --> 01:36:17.640 the honorable Mark Meckler. He's President of Citizens for Self 1697 01:36:17.680 --> 01:36:20.600 Governance and Convention of the State's Action. And Mark Meckler, 1698 01:36:20.640 --> 01:36:22.800 welcome again to the Bill Cunningham show. Just in a 1699 01:36:22.880 --> 01:36:26.079 general way, explain to the American people what is Article 1700 01:36:26.159 --> 01:36:28.600 five of the US Constitution and how it might be 1701 01:36:28.600 --> 01:36:29.359 applied today. 1702 01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:32.880 Yeah, so you described the first part of Article five, 1703 01:36:32.920 --> 01:36:35.520 which is where two thirds of both houses can gather 1704 01:36:35.600 --> 01:36:38.560 together in Congress and propose an amendment, and then that 1705 01:36:38.640 --> 01:36:41.439 amendment becomes a suggestion to the states, and it takes 1706 01:36:41.439 --> 01:36:44.079 three quarters of the states or thirty eight states to ratify. 1707 01:36:44.560 --> 01:36:47.600 There's a second method in the Constitution which says when 1708 01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:50.880 two thirds of the states want to gather in convention, 1709 01:36:51.319 --> 01:36:55.720 they can pass resolutions through their legislatures, no governor's signature required, 1710 01:36:55.800 --> 01:36:59.359 just legislatures, and they can request together in convention to 1711 01:36:59.399 --> 01:37:03.239 propose the men to the Constitution, same exact process. If 1712 01:37:03.279 --> 01:37:05.399 they can get a majority of states to agree on 1713 01:37:05.439 --> 01:37:08.119 a proposed amendment, then those amendments go out to the 1714 01:37:08.159 --> 01:37:11.319 states for ratification, and it takes thirty eight states to 1715 01:37:11.439 --> 01:37:13.439 ratify an amendment to the US Constitution. 1716 01:37:13.720 --> 01:37:16.079 So how far along in the process are we sitting 1717 01:37:16.079 --> 01:37:18.800 here in April of twenty twenty five you started many 1718 01:37:18.880 --> 01:37:21.359 years ago, how many have signed up and how many 1719 01:37:21.399 --> 01:37:21.840 more to go? 1720 01:37:23.039 --> 01:37:25.640 So we are well over halfway We've got nineteen states 1721 01:37:25.680 --> 01:37:27.439 that have done and I'm hoping for a couple more 1722 01:37:27.520 --> 01:37:30.640 this year, including Ohio, So that would take us to 1723 01:37:30.720 --> 01:37:33.560 twenty one, and that would leave us thirteen states. Shy 1724 01:37:33.680 --> 01:37:36.399 of calling the first ever Convention of States in the 1725 01:37:36.439 --> 01:37:37.600 history of the country. 1726 01:37:37.800 --> 01:37:40.640 And what would be argued, Some have said this will 1727 01:37:40.640 --> 01:37:43.520 be a disaster because it will open up everything and 1728 01:37:43.600 --> 01:37:46.000 all of a sudden you'll have more fighting, arguing and screaming, 1729 01:37:46.039 --> 01:37:49.119 And then others say it's required. From my perspective, mark 1730 01:37:49.159 --> 01:37:53.920 as a great American, the budget deficits and term limits 1731 01:37:54.159 --> 01:37:56.359 for the House in the Senate are critical. Those two 1732 01:37:56.359 --> 01:37:59.840 things explain our current fiscal situation that the convention this 1733 01:38:00.039 --> 01:38:00.760 date might help. 1734 01:38:02.359 --> 01:38:04.159 Yeah, I agree with you. Look, there's only three things 1735 01:38:04.199 --> 01:38:06.079 that you can be discussed. One is anything that would 1736 01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:09.520 impost term limits on DC and that includes Congress but 1737 01:38:09.560 --> 01:38:13.239 also other federal officials like the Deep States staffers and bureaucrats. 1738 01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:16.399 Second is anything that would impose fiscal restraints. And you 1739 01:38:16.479 --> 01:38:18.960 mentioned the budget. We are going to have to balance 1740 01:38:19.000 --> 01:38:22.399 that budget. That's not going to happen from Washington, DC. 1741 01:38:22.520 --> 01:38:25.000 We're going to have to impose those restraints. And finally 1742 01:38:25.119 --> 01:38:27.880 is the limitations on the scope of power and jurisdiction 1743 01:38:27.960 --> 01:38:30.199 of the federal government, telling them things like so you 1744 01:38:30.239 --> 01:38:33.159 may not be involved in education, or energy, or healthcare 1745 01:38:33.279 --> 01:38:36.039 or the environment. These are things that were never intended 1746 01:38:36.079 --> 01:38:38.760 for the federal government. That's power that's been usurped from 1747 01:38:38.760 --> 01:38:40.600 the states, and we in the states are going to 1748 01:38:40.640 --> 01:38:41.760 have to take that power back. 1749 01:38:42.119 --> 01:38:44.920 And so if this thing of convention actually occurs, it 1750 01:38:44.960 --> 01:38:47.439 is limited. You don't open up the whole thing. What 1751 01:38:47.560 --> 01:38:50.279 you do is limited to only these three items, which 1752 01:38:50.319 --> 01:38:52.880 I think most of the American people agree with, I 1753 01:38:52.880 --> 01:38:55.800 would think correct. In otherwords, it wouldn't be unlimited about 1754 01:38:55.800 --> 01:38:57.439 all these other extraneous matters. 1755 01:38:58.359 --> 01:38:59.960 No, it's absolutely not unlimited. 1756 01:39:00.239 --> 01:39:00.800 Unlimited. 1757 01:39:00.800 --> 01:39:03.560 In fact, you can't get the convention until you have 1758 01:39:03.600 --> 01:39:07.439 a supermajority of states that agree on those limitations in advance. 1759 01:39:08.119 --> 01:39:10.479 And so this idea that somehow it could get completely 1760 01:39:10.520 --> 01:39:12.399 out of control where you go into convention with the 1761 01:39:12.439 --> 01:39:15.319 supermajority that agree these are the only things we can 1762 01:39:15.359 --> 01:39:18.199 talk about. Anything outside of that would be outside the 1763 01:39:18.279 --> 01:39:22.239 jurisdiction of the convention and can't even be discussed. And 1764 01:39:22.359 --> 01:39:24.920 even if it were, remember, anything that comes out of 1765 01:39:24.960 --> 01:39:28.159 convention is still just a suggestion and it has to 1766 01:39:28.159 --> 01:39:30.520 be ratified by thirty eight states. So this idea of 1767 01:39:30.880 --> 01:39:33.479 what they call, quot unquote a runaway convention is just crazy. 1768 01:39:33.720 --> 01:39:37.720 Well, it's a it's one of those canards that not 1769 01:39:37.840 --> 01:39:41.000 based in reality, but it's a shout down those and 1770 01:39:41.239 --> 01:39:43.520 you'd have to have blue states signing on to this thing. 1771 01:39:43.560 --> 01:39:46.920 We don't have. Sadly, at this point two thirds of 1772 01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:49.760 the states that have Democrats and the legislature. Why would 1773 01:39:49.800 --> 01:39:52.960 the Democrats who are benefiting from the system currently want 1774 01:39:52.960 --> 01:39:56.199 to sign on with the Republicans. Well, what's the argument 1775 01:39:56.239 --> 01:39:58.359 for Democrat legislatures to sign on? 1776 01:39:59.439 --> 01:40:00.479 Yeah, you know, I. 1777 01:40:00.399 --> 01:40:03.279 Travel around the country. I'm in Democrat legislatures all the time, 1778 01:40:03.279 --> 01:40:06.279 and I talk to Democrats right now. They're especially interested 1779 01:40:06.279 --> 01:40:08.840 in this because I say, do you like the idea 1780 01:40:08.840 --> 01:40:12.279 of Donald Trump or a conservative Supreme Court or Republican 1781 01:40:12.319 --> 01:40:14.760 Congress telling you what to do? Or do you want 1782 01:40:14.800 --> 01:40:17.720 to have your own power in your own state? You know, 1783 01:40:17.800 --> 01:40:19.319 first of all, I make sure i'm at least arms 1784 01:40:19.319 --> 01:40:21.399 distance away because I don't want to get punched by 1785 01:40:21.439 --> 01:40:22.039 a Democrat. 1786 01:40:22.039 --> 01:40:23.159 But I follow a Democrat. 1787 01:40:23.359 --> 01:40:26.239 But they hate the idea of Republican singing control in DC, 1788 01:40:26.880 --> 01:40:30.399 and they like the idea res storing their own state sovereignty. 1789 01:40:30.600 --> 01:40:33.479 For example, California. While it's very leftist, it doesn't want 1790 01:40:33.520 --> 01:40:35.439 to hear from President Trump. He doesn't want to hear 1791 01:40:35.479 --> 01:40:37.680 from the Supreme Court telling them what to do. This 1792 01:40:37.840 --> 01:40:41.479 is truly bipartisan. The only thing that does is give 1793 01:40:41.560 --> 01:40:43.720 power back to the states, and that means a state 1794 01:40:43.760 --> 01:40:45.840 like Illinois is going to get its power in a 1795 01:40:45.880 --> 01:40:48.319 state like Texas or Ohio going to get their power back, 1796 01:40:48.640 --> 01:40:50.399 So it is not a partisan issue. 1797 01:40:50.520 --> 01:40:54.159 Talk about the fiscal circumstance in America. Even though most 1798 01:40:54.159 --> 01:40:57.119 of us in talk radio kind of enjoy the presidency 1799 01:40:57.119 --> 01:40:59.840 of Donald Trump, we still have a thirty six trillion 1800 01:41:00.359 --> 01:41:03.479 national debt, We still have one hundred trillion dollars or 1801 01:41:03.479 --> 01:41:07.199 more and unfunded liabilities. We still have a yearly deficit 1802 01:41:07.680 --> 01:41:13.439 of two trillion dollars, and it looks it's insoluble unless 1803 01:41:13.680 --> 01:41:15.880 there's buy into the idea that we can't live like this, 1804 01:41:15.960 --> 01:41:17.840 we can't live on a credit card. And in the 1805 01:41:17.880 --> 01:41:20.720 next five years we're going to be close to fifty 1806 01:41:20.800 --> 01:41:26.359 trillion dollars in deficits accumulated deficits, which means the interest 1807 01:41:26.399 --> 01:41:28.920 on that will be close to two trillion dollars a year, 1808 01:41:29.199 --> 01:41:32.760 which is unsustainable. And so just describe the physical health 1809 01:41:32.800 --> 01:41:33.319 of this nation. 1810 01:41:34.680 --> 01:41:36.319 Yeah, look, I think you've nailed it in one of 1811 01:41:36.319 --> 01:41:37.800 the things that I want to make sure people are 1812 01:41:37.840 --> 01:41:40.479 realistic about. God blessed Donald Trump and everything this is 1813 01:41:40.479 --> 01:41:43.920 administration is trying to do. We're big supporters, but we 1814 01:41:44.039 --> 01:41:47.279 also are realists. We understand that every single administration in 1815 01:41:47.319 --> 01:41:49.880 the history of the United States, that includes Donald Trump, 1816 01:41:50.159 --> 01:41:53.760 Ronald Reagan, and George Washington, with the only exception being 1817 01:41:53.800 --> 01:41:56.920 Calvin Coolidge, every administration has grown the size of the 1818 01:41:56.920 --> 01:42:00.479 scope of the federal government. And so we can't expect Washington, 1819 01:42:00.560 --> 01:42:02.479 d c. To turn this ship around on its own. 1820 01:42:02.640 --> 01:42:06.479 It's also contrary to human nature. It is very difficult 1821 01:42:06.600 --> 01:42:08.640 to cut a dollar from the federal government because there's 1822 01:42:08.640 --> 01:42:11.680 a constituency for every dollar. We're seeing this in just 1823 01:42:11.760 --> 01:42:15.520 this absolute blowout from the deep state right now fighting 1824 01:42:15.520 --> 01:42:17.880 back against Donald Trump. If we're going to do it, 1825 01:42:18.199 --> 01:42:20.399 we're going to have to do it. They're not going 1826 01:42:20.479 --> 01:42:22.640 to do it for us. And we can do this 1827 01:42:22.720 --> 01:42:24.720 through a convention of faith. And by the way, if 1828 01:42:24.800 --> 01:42:26.880 you if you tell folks who are in Congress book 1829 01:42:27.199 --> 01:42:30.520 now you have a constitutional obligation to balance the budget, 1830 01:42:30.840 --> 01:42:34.079 you can't do it by raising taxes or fees. Then 1831 01:42:34.079 --> 01:42:35.960 they're going to do it, and they can tell they're 1832 01:42:35.960 --> 01:42:37.840 consituency with no choice. 1833 01:42:38.560 --> 01:42:42.520 As far as the unfinded liabilities, which are promises made 1834 01:42:42.520 --> 01:42:45.439 by the government and the future, that number is north 1835 01:42:45.479 --> 01:42:48.439 of one hundred trillion dollars. I look at some of 1836 01:42:48.479 --> 01:42:52.319 the staggering numbers, and your eyes glaze over that. I 1837 01:42:52.319 --> 01:42:56.119 think many Americans are mathematically challenged, and that a trillion 1838 01:42:56.199 --> 01:42:58.920 dollars used to be a huge amount of money, and 1839 01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:02.800 now it's become almost irrelevant. A billionaire and a billionaire 1840 01:43:02.880 --> 01:43:05.640 doesn't matter. And our debt is funded by one of 1841 01:43:05.680 --> 01:43:10.640 three reasons. One would be by grossly increasing taxes, which 1842 01:43:10.720 --> 01:43:14.199 American people don't want. That two is to grossly cut 1843 01:43:14.600 --> 01:43:17.880 federal spending and a lot of Americans don't like that, 1844 01:43:17.920 --> 01:43:20.239 but I do. And the third reason is to print 1845 01:43:20.279 --> 01:43:24.520 more money. Why is each of those three undesirable? 1846 01:43:26.039 --> 01:43:29.119 Well, I mean, first of all, taxes, we are already 1847 01:43:29.119 --> 01:43:32.239 heavily burdened on taxes, especially the most productive people in 1848 01:43:32.279 --> 01:43:35.359 the country. And when you tax, and especially when you 1849 01:43:35.399 --> 01:43:38.479 tax income, you get less of whatever it is you taxed. 1850 01:43:38.560 --> 01:43:40.840 In other words, if you tax people's incomes and tax 1851 01:43:40.880 --> 01:43:43.000 it more and more heavily, you're going to get less 1852 01:43:43.039 --> 01:43:46.600 and less income. That's just the nature of taxation. And 1853 01:43:46.640 --> 01:43:48.479 we can only tax so much. In fact, if you 1854 01:43:48.520 --> 01:43:51.439 were to not just tax, but seize the wealth of 1855 01:43:51.479 --> 01:43:55.279 the richest one percent in America, it might, though I'm 1856 01:43:55.279 --> 01:43:59.000 not quite sure, cover our deficit for a single year, 1857 01:43:59.640 --> 01:44:01.960 and there just isn't enough money in the country to 1858 01:44:02.079 --> 01:44:04.720 tax our way out of it. So that's a really 1859 01:44:04.720 --> 01:44:07.399 important thing for people to understand that we get the 1860 01:44:07.399 --> 01:44:09.319 thing of sort of eat the rich and tax the 1861 01:44:09.399 --> 01:44:11.960 rich into the ground. Well, it's not going to solve 1862 01:44:12.000 --> 01:44:15.199 our fiscal wlows. When we talk about unfunded liabilities. I 1863 01:44:15.199 --> 01:44:17.479 think this is the giant elephant in the room that 1864 01:44:17.560 --> 01:44:20.560 most people don't talk about. There is so much money 1865 01:44:20.600 --> 01:44:23.800 that we've committed to and it is unsustainable, and there are, 1866 01:44:23.840 --> 01:44:26.560 by the way, relatively simple fixes for this. We could 1867 01:44:26.600 --> 01:44:29.159 push back the retirement age a few years. You know, 1868 01:44:29.199 --> 01:44:31.279 when we set the retirement age, it was believed that 1869 01:44:31.319 --> 01:44:34.039 the life expectancy in the United States of America was 1870 01:44:34.279 --> 01:44:37.800 roughly sixty two to sixty five years, meaning most people 1871 01:44:37.840 --> 01:44:41.520 would not collect Social Security for a very long time. Now, 1872 01:44:41.640 --> 01:44:44.439 for a mail it's around eighty one years. So we've 1873 01:44:44.560 --> 01:44:47.960 extended this out and we have less people paying the system. 1874 01:44:48.640 --> 01:44:52.359 Mas is mass that's just unsustainable over the long haul. 1875 01:44:53.359 --> 01:44:55.720 Another issue, of course, is term limits. We have it 1876 01:44:55.840 --> 01:44:58.199 for the president. It would have been wise in the 1877 01:44:58.279 --> 01:45:03.079 nineteen fifties to include the Congress. There's been proposals in 1878 01:45:03.119 --> 01:45:05.680 the past for the Congress to cut off their own 1879 01:45:05.760 --> 01:45:08.960 lifeline of money. It's amazing that Nancy Pelosi or Mitch 1880 01:45:09.079 --> 01:45:12.520 McConnell can go into Congress worth nothing, they come out 1881 01:45:12.520 --> 01:45:15.600 worth five hundred million dollars. It's incredible to watch that. 1882 01:45:15.920 --> 01:45:18.279 And they do it because the favors being handed thither 1883 01:45:18.319 --> 01:45:22.800 and fro, and so the Congress itself, Democrat or Republican, 1884 01:45:23.439 --> 01:45:27.239 they never will vote to term limit themselves because that's 1885 01:45:27.279 --> 01:45:29.680 the source of their money in the court, the source 1886 01:45:29.720 --> 01:45:33.000 of the funding of their life. And am I correct 1887 01:45:33.000 --> 01:45:35.960 to say Mark Meckler that there have been numerous attempts 1888 01:45:36.000 --> 01:45:40.880 by generally conservative Republicans to limit the term limits, to 1889 01:45:41.479 --> 01:45:44.159 make it eight years or twelve years, just pick some number, 1890 01:45:44.760 --> 01:45:48.399 but the Congress themselves will never do this by themselves. 1891 01:45:49.039 --> 01:45:52.039 Yeah, that's absolutely correct. In fact right now, Okay, the 1892 01:45:52.039 --> 01:45:55.479 biggest champion of term limits in the United States government 1893 01:45:55.520 --> 01:45:58.399 is Ted Cruz from my home state of Texas. He 1894 01:45:58.560 --> 01:46:01.840 proposed the term limit still year. It never even gets 1895 01:46:01.840 --> 01:46:04.680 a hearing, let alone getting voted on. It never makes 1896 01:46:04.680 --> 01:46:07.520 it through committee, It never makes it to committee, and 1897 01:46:07.720 --> 01:46:09.600 I would argue it never will and it never will 1898 01:46:09.640 --> 01:46:13.760 because Republican or Democrat, most legislators are not willing to 1899 01:46:13.840 --> 01:46:17.560 limit their own terms. That's human nature again, So if 1900 01:46:17.600 --> 01:46:20.279 we want that done, we're going to have to impose 1901 01:46:20.319 --> 01:46:22.640 this discipline bill. I like to use the example of 1902 01:46:22.720 --> 01:46:25.960 you know, if you've ever raised teenagers, the idea that 1903 01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:29.560 you would let your teenagers decide how much money the 1904 01:46:29.640 --> 01:46:32.880 household spends, how much money they get to spend of 1905 01:46:32.920 --> 01:46:37.000 your money, whether they can drink alcohol one year away, 1906 01:46:37.439 --> 01:46:40.000 how long they can take your car and stay out 1907 01:46:40.119 --> 01:46:42.760 all the rules for themselves. There's not going to be 1908 01:46:42.880 --> 01:46:44.800 very many rules, and it's going to be a disaster. 1909 01:46:44.960 --> 01:46:47.680 There's going to be chaos. We the American people, are 1910 01:46:47.760 --> 01:46:50.239 the parents. We're in charge of our government. We're supposed 1911 01:46:50.239 --> 01:46:54.439 to be sovereign. Unless we impose these controls on Congress 1912 01:46:54.479 --> 01:46:57.640 and the president and our government, generally, the government's going 1913 01:46:57.680 --> 01:46:58.479 to be out of control. 1914 01:46:58.880 --> 01:47:00.680 I just got a text from the story and it 1915 01:47:00.800 --> 01:47:03.680 told me that there was an effort when FDR went 1916 01:47:03.720 --> 01:47:06.880 out of office, and he was in office elected four times, 1917 01:47:07.079 --> 01:47:10.359 Democrats and Republicans said enough is enough, and they tried 1918 01:47:10.439 --> 01:47:13.520 like crazy to include the Congress in that amendment to 1919 01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:17.079 the Constitution, and the Congress itself would not vote it. 1920 01:47:17.119 --> 01:47:19.119 It takes two thirds of the House, two thirds of 1921 01:47:19.119 --> 01:47:21.800 the Senate, three fourths of the states, and the Congress 1922 01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:25.880 itself would not vote to post the same rules on 1923 01:47:25.960 --> 01:47:29.319 them they imposed upon the presidency. And I'm confident that 1924 01:47:29.359 --> 01:47:32.640 if Barack Hussein Obama was that had the ability to 1925 01:47:32.720 --> 01:47:35.079 run for a third or fourth term, he would have 1926 01:47:35.119 --> 01:47:37.399 done it. Of course, when Biden was in office, that 1927 01:47:37.479 --> 01:47:40.439 was Obama's third term, nonetheless, but it would go on 1928 01:47:40.560 --> 01:47:43.279 forever and never stop. There was wisdom and keeping it 1929 01:47:43.319 --> 01:47:45.880 to eight years, and there's great wisdom and keeping it 1930 01:47:45.880 --> 01:47:49.039 to twelve years at the maximum, maybe eight years when 1931 01:47:49.079 --> 01:47:52.560 it comes to the Congress. Lastly, the bureaucracy itself, the 1932 01:47:52.680 --> 01:47:56.720 so called fourth Estate they're not dependent upon Republican Democrats. 1933 01:47:56.720 --> 01:47:59.920 They're there forever And as I understand that your proposal 1934 01:48:00.039 --> 01:48:03.680 Convention of the States would include that the bureaucracy itself, 1935 01:48:04.319 --> 01:48:07.119 the agencies that essentially run the government. 1936 01:48:08.279 --> 01:48:10.279 Yeah, I think that's important. I call this the fauci 1937 01:48:10.319 --> 01:48:12.439 of them, and nobody should ever sit in a position 1938 01:48:12.439 --> 01:48:14.159 of power like that for the forty years in the 1939 01:48:14.159 --> 01:48:19.000 federal government, completely unaccountable to the American people, unaccountable frankly 1940 01:48:19.039 --> 01:48:21.680 even to Congress or the President. I see a lot 1941 01:48:21.680 --> 01:48:24.439 of this in Washington, DC right now. We're seeing this 1942 01:48:24.600 --> 01:48:27.720 deep state raise its ugly head. It's been around forever, 1943 01:48:28.079 --> 01:48:30.560 it's going to continue to be around. And if we 1944 01:48:30.560 --> 01:48:32.840 were to do term moments on Congress and not term 1945 01:48:32.880 --> 01:48:35.239 moments on the bureaucracy, I think that would make things 1946 01:48:35.279 --> 01:48:35.920 much worse. 1947 01:48:36.079 --> 01:48:38.760 In fact, they'd be more powerful now. The leaking out 1948 01:48:38.760 --> 01:48:41.479 of the Department of Defense, the chief of staff, others 1949 01:48:41.520 --> 01:48:45.039 being fired because they're leaking constantly to the New York Times, etc. 1950 01:48:45.800 --> 01:48:49.520 And it's constant leaking. And if these individuals understand that 1951 01:48:49.720 --> 01:48:52.560 I'm here for eight to twelve years and I'm going 1952 01:48:52.600 --> 01:48:56.319 to lose my power over the economy, over the environment, 1953 01:48:56.359 --> 01:48:59.319 over the tax system. After eight to twelve years and 1954 01:48:59.399 --> 01:49:01.520 have to go back into the fields and work, it 1955 01:49:01.560 --> 01:49:04.000 would change their attitude completely. So I think it's wise 1956 01:49:04.079 --> 01:49:07.760 to say you've got to include the fourth estate. Those 1957 01:49:07.840 --> 01:49:10.600 working in the bureaucracy. Without that, they would have more power. 1958 01:49:10.680 --> 01:49:13.600 Correct, Yeah, they would have more power. Bill, I would 1959 01:49:13.600 --> 01:49:15.680 add in one more and this is immensely popular with 1960 01:49:15.720 --> 01:49:18.560 the American people. If you collect a paycheck from the 1961 01:49:18.560 --> 01:49:22.920 federal government in any department, in any capacity, collected, appointed, 1962 01:49:23.039 --> 01:49:25.920 or just as a job, then you should be prohibited 1963 01:49:25.960 --> 01:49:28.760 forever from lobbying the federal government in any way. 1964 01:49:29.239 --> 01:49:32.800 What about the federal judiciary? What about judges that we 1965 01:49:32.840 --> 01:49:34.720 need forty hours? 1966 01:49:35.079 --> 01:49:37.760 Yeah, we need term limits there. To look at the 1967 01:49:37.800 --> 01:49:41.159 time of the founding, when we said that that they 1968 01:49:41.199 --> 01:49:44.720 have life terms, that term was never used. It doesn't 1969 01:49:44.760 --> 01:49:47.359 say life terms. Everybody thinks it's for life. It says 1970 01:49:47.359 --> 01:49:50.920 on good behavior. And back then, by the way, it 1971 01:49:51.039 --> 01:49:53.960 was considered poor behavior. If he's freer in public, that 1972 01:49:54.000 --> 01:49:56.039 would literally be enough to cause you to be removed 1973 01:49:56.039 --> 01:49:58.640 from the bench. We never expected people to sit on 1974 01:49:58.680 --> 01:50:01.840 bench thirty forty years when started. Average life expectancy for 1975 01:50:01.840 --> 01:50:04.720 a male with fifty four years of age. Average appointment 1976 01:50:04.760 --> 01:50:07.439 age was forty eight, and so we effected five or 1977 01:50:07.479 --> 01:50:09.920 six years on the bench. I think we definitely need 1978 01:50:10.039 --> 01:50:11.439 term limits for the federal bench. 1979 01:50:11.479 --> 01:50:14.880 Otherwise they could not have anticipated in seventeen eighty seven 1980 01:50:15.359 --> 01:50:17.319 that you're going to have judges on the bench into 1981 01:50:17.359 --> 01:50:21.319 their eighties and beyond. And this thinking. They never conceived 1982 01:50:21.439 --> 01:50:23.399 that no very. 1983 01:50:23.239 --> 01:50:25.520 Few people lived that old back then, so they never 1984 01:50:25.600 --> 01:50:28.199 conceived of that. They never conceived that anybody would want 1985 01:50:28.279 --> 01:50:30.720 to do that. And so there are certain things that 1986 01:50:30.800 --> 01:50:34.760 the framers just didn't foresee. Because the future changed, life 1987 01:50:34.840 --> 01:50:37.840 expectancy changed, they could not have known these things. So 1988 01:50:38.359 --> 01:50:40.000 we also, by the way, if you look at every 1989 01:50:40.039 --> 01:50:42.199 study that's ever been done in the federal judiciary, it 1990 01:50:42.279 --> 01:50:46.600 says that federal judges become more amenable to a large 1991 01:50:46.640 --> 01:50:50.319 administrative state the longer they're on the bench. Again, human nature, 1992 01:50:50.520 --> 01:50:54.000 they are part of that apparatus. Their offices are funded 1993 01:50:54.039 --> 01:50:56.560 by the federal government, their staffs are funded by the 1994 01:50:56.560 --> 01:50:58.840 federal government, so of course they become more and more 1995 01:50:58.880 --> 01:51:00.960 friendly to the government over time. 1996 01:51:01.039 --> 01:51:04.680 Generally speaking, Mark Meckler, how can the average American get involved? 1997 01:51:04.720 --> 01:51:06.319 What is your website if any. 1998 01:51:07.119 --> 01:51:09.880 Yeah, Convention of State dot com. Sign the petition, click 1999 01:51:09.920 --> 01:51:12.319 the take action tab and you can follow me on 2000 01:51:12.760 --> 01:51:14.039 x at Mark Meckler. 2001 01:51:14.439 --> 01:51:18.079 Okay, that's the website. But nineteen states have approved that. 2002 01:51:18.199 --> 01:51:21.680 Ohio is ready to go. If a fake Ramaswami or 2003 01:51:21.800 --> 01:51:25.399 David Yost, either one becomes the governor, both favorite Convention 2004 01:51:25.520 --> 01:51:28.840 in the States, etc. It's going to happen, and it's 2005 01:51:28.880 --> 01:51:31.239 getting closer. And all I can say is good luck. 2006 01:51:31.600 --> 01:51:33.560 I have hope for Donald Trump to do it, but 2007 01:51:33.920 --> 01:51:37.239 I don't know. It takes the people to arise. Mark Meckler, 2008 01:51:37.279 --> 01:51:39.720 once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 2009 01:51:39.720 --> 01:51:42.920 Thank you, Bill, God bless and God bless America. Thank 2010 01:51:42.920 --> 01:51:45.079 you very much. Mark Meckler. Right there, it is how 2011 01:51:45.159 --> 01:51:47.560 you can take governance in your own hands and do 2012 01:51:47.680 --> 01:51:50.199 what's correct for the American people. We can't live like this. 2013 01:51:50.399 --> 01:51:53.640 We can't live on a credit card. Republican and Democrats, 2014 01:51:53.680 --> 01:51:55.520 We've been living on too many credit cards and it's 2015 01:51:55.520 --> 01:51:57.800 got to stop. Bill Cunningham, the Grand American, live with 2016 01:51:57.840 --> 01:52:00.800 you every Sunday night. My Billy cunning I'm the Grand American. 2017 01:52:00.840 --> 01:52:04.760 Thanks for listening tonight. This week's going to be extremely consequential. 2018 01:52:04.800 --> 01:52:07.640 Tomorrow morning at nine am, and what about seven or 2019 01:52:07.640 --> 01:52:09.399 eight hours from now, you're going to have the President 2020 01:52:09.840 --> 01:52:12.359 issue in order saying that the rest of the world 2021 01:52:12.399 --> 01:52:15.279 is going to start paying for our legal pharmaceutical and 2022 01:52:15.359 --> 01:52:18.159 drug pricing. We not pay for it all. The President 2023 01:52:18.199 --> 01:52:20.199 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday is going to be in 2024 01:52:20.239 --> 01:52:24.079 cutter UAE in Saudi Arabia. We have the so called 2025 01:52:24.199 --> 01:52:28.760 agreement that Hamas any moment's going to release Eaton Alexander, 2026 01:52:28.840 --> 01:52:32.399 the only American hostage held and tortured by this murderous 2027 01:52:32.439 --> 01:52:35.840 death cult known as Hamas, and then also will have Iran, 2028 01:52:36.000 --> 01:52:38.800 allegedly on the customer making some sort of a deal. 2029 01:52:39.159 --> 01:52:41.880 I'll believe that when I see it, because Iran is 2030 01:52:41.920 --> 01:52:44.920 also controlled by a death cult who want to kill 2031 01:52:45.039 --> 01:52:48.079 rather than live with anyone. And so, my gosh, and 2032 01:52:48.119 --> 01:52:49.880 I want to wish nothing but the best for the 2033 01:52:49.920 --> 01:52:54.000 new Pope Leo the fourteenth. If you have time, google 2034 01:52:54.319 --> 01:52:58.760 Leo fourteenth World Series Chicago White Sox. There's a great 2035 01:52:58.760 --> 01:53:01.800 clip of the future Pope. At that point, he was 2036 01:53:01.880 --> 01:53:05.800 a dutiful priest in the stands at Comiskey Park, cheering 2037 01:53:05.840 --> 01:53:08.199 on the White Sox to beat up on the Houston 2038 01:53:08.239 --> 01:53:11.840 Astronomicals at that point in the National League. And he 2039 01:53:11.920 --> 01:53:14.000 also is a great fan of the Philadelphia Eagles that 2040 01:53:14.039 --> 01:53:17.520 won the Super Bowl. So here we are and heading 2041 01:53:17.560 --> 01:53:20.359 toward the mid of twenty twenty five. Number one, the 2042 01:53:20.439 --> 01:53:23.600 Olympics are coming to Los Angeles. Number two, the World 2043 01:53:23.640 --> 01:53:27.640 Cup coming to America. Number three, Donald Trump is in office. 2044 01:53:27.920 --> 01:53:30.800 Number four, we have an American Pope. Those are the 2045 01:53:30.840 --> 01:53:35.479 four heads right there. The Olympics, World Cup, the Pope, 2046 01:53:35.880 --> 01:53:40.439 and Donald Trump make America great again. Believe me, it's happening. 2047 01:53:40.680 --> 01:53:43.279 Bill cunning and the Great American with you every Sunday night.
