Speaker 1 (00:07):
Bill Cunningham, the great American. Of course, Leland Vitters is
with News Nation every night Monday through Friday at nine
pm Eastern Time, and he's in touch with what's happening
in the world and the great correspondent now and news
anchor himself, and once again Leland Vitter, Welcome to the
Bill Cunningham Show. And I checked out your website, of course,
which is a lot of good information on it about
(00:28):
warnotes dot com. But more importantly, there seems to be
I've sensed this many times in the past. The war drums,
the toxins are sounding, and I hear the thump, thump,
thump of some sort of war happening with China on
many fronts. And I had one of the commentators on
News Nation also throughout many of the publications talk about
it's similar to what happened with al Qaeda in which
(00:49):
they declared war on us. We didn't know about it
until they hit the Oral Trade Center. Is there a
sense that we're something horrible is going to happen in
the future. I saw Larry Fink at Blackrock recently give
a talk about he is frozen with panic about what
might happen on many fronts. Do you have a sense
that we're at war with China and we don't know
it yet.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, we were in the Cold War with Russia for decades,
so I think that may be a better analogy. But
certainly the Chinese view challenging America as their destiny, and America,
by dint of its greatness and how we were formed,
don't believe in challenging anyone.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
We by definition believe in.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Fair you know, playing by the rules and fair play
and better tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yes, that's not something that Chinese believe it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And of course Jao Ping doesn't have a midterm election
coming up, doesn't care much about the polls, doesn't care
much about descent. And when I look at this Chinese relationship,
I look at southern border issues with fentanyl, and I
look at one hundred thousand Americans dying, and we can
talk about addiction, and they're certainly fueling that. I look
(02:06):
at the purchase of thousands of acres of land around
military bases, I look at hot air balloons. I kind
of look at the fact they got ninety five percent
of our pharmaceuticals are made there. And I look at
the fact that the malware and our water systems and companies.
Allegedly there's millions of pieces of malware all over the
grid that's going to shut down. At one point, one commentator,
(02:27):
I heard them say, we're not going to be able
to have water, we won't have electricity, we won't be
able to communicate. Skies may be filled with planes falling,
And I'm looking at this going are you kidding me?
This was never the case with the USSR, in which
they had missile technology and that was it. They were
never an economic power. In fact, the GDP of Russia
is only about two point two trillion. Ours is about
(02:47):
thirty trillion, not even close. China is about eighteen or
nineteen trillion. And so why would they have done all
these things in preparation for what unbeknownst to us?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think it is unbeknownst to us. We knew about it,
we just didn't do anything about it. So appeasing China
and getting brunk on cheap nikes has been a bipartisan issue.
Being effeckless towards China is a bipartisan issue.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
By that, I mean both parties engaged in it.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
The Chinese are setting up to challenge US supremacy around
the world. Now you ask exactly, you know, what is
their end goals? They want to replace the United States
as the world superpower. Obviously, the United States has been
doing everything possible to allow that to happen over the
(03:43):
past thirty or thirty five years. So if Donald Trump
is actually sort of serious about confronting China and doing that,
China is not going to go away easily.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Therefore, it is going to require.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
A spine of steel by Donald Trump to be willing
to endure some pretty significant hardships here at home and
difficulties here at home. That is not something in the
past that he has shown a willingness to endure.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
And in fact will the American people. You know, China,
good or ill are all pulling in the same direction.
And if you don't pull in the same direction, you're
get a pullet in the head. And so that's a
in China, if you're an average citizen and keep your
head down, U don't protest, don't walk in the streets,
don't post things that government may not like. You can
(04:37):
live your life. And they're pulling in the same direction. America,
hardly ever, except nine to eleven, maybe into World War Two,
we pulled in the same direction. We have disparate forces
going left, right and otherwise. And I guess that's one
of our strengths but also one of our weaknesses. And
I harken back to the comments you I think you
played it, or maybe it was Croma a few days
(05:00):
ago of Kevin O'Leary, mister Wonderful on CNBC, and he
said that essentially we should have four hundred percent tariffs
on China, he said, because they're thieves and liars and
cheats and thugs. He said that Chinese will literally steal
thousands of dollars from individual accounts, they will exploit child
(05:23):
labor and slave labor, that they engage in mass extermination
of the wigers and the obliteration of Christian and Catholic churches.
And I look at that, and I'm thinking, what would
be the impact if China said, Okay, we're going to
deal with Malaysia and Indonesia and Australia and South Korea
and Japan. I don't see that happening either, because despite
(05:46):
the fact that we have different forms of government, that
those so called nations countries in the Asian sphere will
want to be more like America. Than China, and so
I won't say you and I because we're in the
news and we know what's going on. But the average
American doesn't understand the precarious position in which we now
(06:06):
find ourselves. When mister Wonderful and even Elon must say
the same thing. They're cheaters, liars, they're communists. They'll do
any they don't create anything, they steal. Is that an
that definition on the inir view?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Sure no, But it is the responsibility of the President
of the United States to explain that to America and
to explain why it matters.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
And to not sit around and bloviate about everybody cheage.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Everybody's cheating this we've been ripped off by the Japanese.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
In the South Koreans dominions.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
If you want to bring America and if you point
out after nine to eleven, George W. Bush did it,
obviously after Pearl Harbor, Franklin Roosevelt did it.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
George H. W. Bush did it around the First Gulf War.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
If you want to Robald Reagan did it about confroning
the Soviets. If you want to be clear eyed and
have moral clarity about a common enemy that America faces
and the sacrifices that are required to confront it. Americans
will respond, that is not something Donald Trump has done,
nor shown a willingness to do, nor.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Shown the commitment to do so.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
If he would like to do this, which I think
is a noble and necessary effort, then he's going to
actually have to have some message discipline and be willing
to endure the hardships longer than five days of this
last tariff debacle and decide that he is going to
(07:34):
be a wartime president That requires something different. You don't
get to have as much fun as you do when
you're the president the way he was twenty seventeen to
twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, do you think?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And every now I look at the market, the gyrations
up down two thousand and seven points, up, down, up,
and it's going to continue. I watch every thing that
I can, and I fear, and I may have told
you this before Leland Witdertev News Nation, that I fear
something bad's gonna happen. I mean really bad. And if
something really bad happens is gonna come from China, maybe
(08:11):
Taiwan invading Taiwan. They have encircled that island that they
don't need Taiwan for anything, but it's it's a nice
diversion from the problems inside China, which are massive. And
so if that happens, then the word order is completely
thrown into because in a chaos, because China only imports
its energy, imports its food, they have one point three
(08:31):
billion people. They got to be fed, and the world's
gonna cut them off completely. Now we're in a real crisis.
And do you have a sense is that why you
put together warnoes dot com? Do you have a sense
something bad's gonna happen later this year?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, first of all, Bill, we're only one day away
from something bad happening in the world, and you normally worry.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
About the wrong thing.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Okay, there's not a lot of people who had a
pandemic on their twenty twenty Bingo card I started as
you point as.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
You point out before, by China.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
The one thing that's happening that is terrifying and should
terrify Americans and should be a real wake up call
to the administration is, for the first time in my lifetime,
at times at a time of economic uncertainty and upheaval,
people are running away from US treasury bills right, right,
Typically in times of economic upheaval, people run towards safety,
(09:25):
towards the full faith and credit of the United States government.
It's known around the world as the safe at dasset
US treasury bills. And now in this time of economic unheaval,
people are selling that should scare everybody, and it should.
It should be a wake up call to the administration
that they need to become serious and disciplined.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
In how they're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
The reputation and the statements about what the US does
and the sea sign and oscillation by the administration, and
the undisciplined nature of Donald Trump's communication is not doing
them many favors.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
In fact, several days ago, I think it was Tuesday,
that's when he said the ten year treasury note is
dipping and going down because more and more people, and
then the yield's going up because more and more people
are dumping it, including communists, Red China otherwise, but also
American domestic users are dumping the ten year treasury note,
which is the safest haven in the world. And now
(10:30):
maybe it's not the safest haven in the world. It's
not the wand it's not the Chinese currency. I look
at the Russian ruble that's completely in the tank. And
I look around the world and I just sense something
bad's gonna happen. And I don't know. I hope somehow
Shijao Ping says, you know what, let's let's trike a
deal because we're gonna quit stealing intellectual properties. We're gonna
(10:52):
have a functional court system where American companies that come
here and have it is spook and get something resolved.
We're gonna institute property rights for individual individual Chinese citizens.
And I can't conceive of communism changing anything's possible. But
then I don't. I don't think Donald Trump has lots
of abilities, a lot lots of things, but communication to
(11:14):
the other side, to the Democrats, is not one of
his strengths. Uh And And so I don't see Senator
Adam Schiff, and I don't see Nancy Pelosi and Chuck
Schumer saying, you know what, we're gonna work with the president.
I can't conceive of that occurring. And I hope both
of us are wrong and this thing works out.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
However, this is so, this is Adam Shipp's fault.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't I don't understand Donald Trump ran to be
president You don't get just to be president when things
are great and you get to go.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
To the Super Bowl and play golf of Tiger Woods.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well, you have to be president when things are bad
and you have to bring the country together.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
And he he has not done that.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
You said you hope that Cheesing Ping makes all these deals.
The only way chi Jing King makes all these deals
is through coercion by a strong president. Ronald Reagan it okay,
and you know he did it by the way, with
Tip O'Neil as the Democratic speaker. Okay, George W.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Bush did it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Franklin Roosevelt did it. This is when leadership is required,
This is when moral clarity is required.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
These are serious.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Times, and I think for Trump supporters that this is
the time to say that now Donald Trump must show
that he can lead in difficult times. He can get
a place on Mount Rushmore if if he pulls this off.
But it's going to require having somebody other than Peter
Navarro running around telling us all that the Earth's flat.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I kind of look at it this way. Every president
was given a honeymoon except this one from twenty seventeen.
They had no honeymoon. Had the FBI, the CIA dismantling
his presidency, and now he gets elected by a wide margin,
and that I'll hear from the Democrats is a threat
to democracy when Trump wins and we freely elected a
president that the office party will not work with in
(13:01):
any way, won't won't sit down with him, will not
talk with him. Now you can blame Donald Trump, and
I say the opposition party has a duty as Americans
to say, okay, let's not reflectively oppose everything he does, everything,
no matter what it is. When he said in the
State and the addressed to the Congress, if I cured cancer,
(13:22):
you Democrats wouldn't like it. And of course that's exactly
the case. He can do anything in this Democratic party
in the mainstream media is not going to give him
any credit. And so I don't know, maybe a curse
on both their houses. But we only have a minute remaining.
I want to ask you this one. I have this
story which is like saying the sky is blue. Chuck
Todd of Meet the Press and NBC admits that the
(13:44):
media would rather lie than help Donald Trump. And I
look at this story, and he gave this report that
we always would cover up the mental deficiencies of Joe
Biden because we thought by covering it objectively and fairly
and truthfully, it might help Donald Trump. Does that offend you?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I live in Washington, Nothing really offends me.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I thought this story of that, Okay, this is you know,
the sky's blue. Okay, I get that. But I've been
saying that for a long time. Many conservatives have that
the mainstream media is in the tank, whether it was
Obama or Hillary Clinton or Biden, and they're going with
hooks and claws at Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Fair and now conservative media has talk radio and Fox.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
News and the Daily Wire and.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Elon Musk's X and all sorts of stuff. Again, I
come a dish from a slightly different perspective, Bill, I judge.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Everybody by the same bar. It's what makes news nation different.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And if you want to be the president of the
United States, you get judged on your results, not on
whether or not the Democrats are out to get you,
not whether the Democrats are working with you, not whether
Republicans are sycophantic towards you.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Just on results.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's it's a very simple dynamic. And you know you
love sports, as do I.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
When you're when you're having to cry about the refs.
You're usually losing. When you're winning, nobody cries about the
refs a fact of.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Life, except the refs in this case have one hundred
dollars bills in their back pocket and they're for the
other team. And that's what Chuck Todd said. One of
the one of the gold plate NBC faces of NBC
News said, uh, Chuck Todd, but hold.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
On, hold on, I'm built. This is what I think
it's funny about conservatives.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Everyone said Chuck Todd was a liar and in the
tank and on and on and now and and hated
him by the way, I think he was in the tank,
and I agree with his assessment. But now that he
says it, he's somehow been absolved of all those things.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Oh no, no, No, he's saying it because he's saying
it because he got fired at NBC and now he's
trying to find a way in in trying to find
a way to be relevant in the Trump administration time.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Well, he's not saying.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It because he sat it out of his self present innovation,
not because he believes it or because he didn't thinks
he did anything wrong. So again, I don't think, to
my mind, most people in America are sitting around talking
about Chuck Toad. They're sitting around talking about their four
oh one case, whether their kids are going to have
a better job, their job. The feeling is you point
(16:20):
out of discontent and uncertainty in America and that's something
bad is gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, I think that coming back.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
To the president.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That doesn't come back to the media, also comes back
to the Congress, to the Senate. You know, everything split
up the leader of the country as Donald Trump, but
the Democratic Party has never accepted it. They never will.
When he wins, it's a fault of democracy. When he loses,
democracy is working. That's that's my viewpoint. Well, anyway, once again,
warnotes dot Com Leland Viddert to News Nation Monday through
(16:48):
Friday at nine o'clock Eastern time, and once again, thanks
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you Leland's fun.
Bill God bless you. Let's continue with more and yes,
we hope to have an objective media. We know we
don't have, but their power is dissipated to such a
great extent because of the lies told by the mainstream media.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
The reputation and the statements about what the US does
and the sea sign and oscillation by the administration, and
the undisciplined nature of Donald Trump's communication is not doing
them many favors.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
In fact, several days ago, I think it was Tuesday,
that's when he said the ten year treasury note is
dipping and going down because more and more people, and
then the yield's going up because more and more people
are dumping it, including communists, Red China otherwise, but also
American domestic users are dumping the ten year treasury note,
which is the safest haven in the world. And now
(10:30):
maybe it's not the safest haven in the world. It's
not the wand it's not the Chinese currency. I look
at the Russian ruble that's completely in the tank. And
I look around the world and I just sense something
bad's gonna happen. And I don't know. I hope somehow
Shijao Ping says, you know what, let's let's trike a
deal because we're gonna quit stealing intellectual properties. We're gonna
(10:52):
have a functional court system where American companies that come
here and have it is spook and get something resolved.
We're gonna institute property rights for individual individual Chinese citizens.
And I can't conceive of communism changing anything's possible. But
then I don't. I don't think Donald Trump has lots
of abilities, a lot lots of things, but communication to
(11:14):
the other side, to the Democrats, is not one of
his strengths. Uh And And so I don't see Senator
Adam Schiff, and I don't see Nancy Pelosi and Chuck
Schumer saying, you know what, we're gonna work with the president.
I can't conceive of that occurring. And I hope both
of us are wrong and this thing works out.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
However, this is so, this is Adam Shipp's fault.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't I don't understand Donald Trump ran to be
president You don't get just to be president when things
are great and you get to go.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
To the Super Bowl and play golf of Tiger Woods.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well, you have to be president when things are bad
and you have to bring the country together.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
And he he has not done that.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
You said you hope that Cheesing Ping makes all these deals.
The only way chi Jing King makes all these deals
is through coercion by a strong president. Ronald Reagan it okay,
and you know he did it by the way, with
Tip O'Neil as the Democratic speaker. Okay, George W.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Bush did it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Franklin Roosevelt did it. This is when leadership is required,
This is when moral clarity is required.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
These are serious.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Times, and I think for Trump supporters that this is
the time to say that now Donald Trump must show
that he can lead in difficult times. He can get
a place on Mount Rushmore if if he pulls this off.
But it's going to require having somebody other than Peter
Navarro running around telling us all that the Earth's flat.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I kind of look at it this way. Every president
was given a honeymoon except this one from twenty seventeen.
They had no honeymoon. Had the FBI, the CIA dismantling
his presidency, and now he gets elected by a wide margin,
and that I'll hear from the Democrats is a threat
to democracy when Trump wins and we freely elected a
president that the office party will not work with in
(13:01):
any way, won't won't sit down with him, will not
talk with him. Now you can blame Donald Trump, and
I say the opposition party has a duty as Americans
to say, okay, let's not reflectively oppose everything he does, everything,
no matter what it is. When he said in the
State and the addressed to the Congress, if I cured cancer,
(13:22):
you Democrats wouldn't like it. And of course that's exactly
the case. He can do anything in this Democratic party
in the mainstream media is not going to give him
any credit. And so I don't know, maybe a curse
on both their houses. But we only have a minute remaining.
I want to ask you this one. I have this
story which is like saying the sky is blue. Chuck
Todd of Meet the Press and NBC admits that the
(13:44):
media would rather lie than help Donald Trump. And I
look at this story, and he gave this report that
we always would cover up the mental deficiencies of Joe
Biden because we thought by covering it objectively and fairly
and truthfully, it might help Donald Trump. Does that offend you?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I live in Washington, Nothing really offends me.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I thought this story of that, Okay, this is you know,
the sky's blue. Okay, I get that. But I've been
saying that for a long time. Many conservatives have that
the mainstream media is in the tank, whether it was
Obama or Hillary Clinton or Biden, and they're going with
hooks and claws at Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Fair and now conservative media has talk radio and Fox.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
News and the Daily Wire and.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Elon Musk's X and all sorts of stuff. Again, I
come a dish from a slightly different perspective, Bill, I judge.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Everybody by the same bar. It's what makes news nation different.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And if you want to be the president of the
United States, you get judged on your results, not on
whether or not the Democrats are out to get you,
not whether the Democrats are working with you, not whether
Republicans are sycophantic towards you.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Just on results.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's it's a very simple dynamic. And you know you
love sports, as do I.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
When you're when you're having to cry about the refs.
You're usually losing. When you're winning, nobody cries about the
refs a fact of.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Life, except the refs in this case have one hundred
dollars bills in their back pocket and they're for the
other team. And that's what Chuck Todd said. One of
the one of the gold plate NBC faces of NBC
News said, uh, Chuck Todd, but hold.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
On, hold on, I'm built. This is what I think
it's funny about conservatives.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Everyone said Chuck Todd was a liar and in the
tank and on and on and now and and hated
him by the way, I think he was in the tank,
and I agree with his assessment. But now that he
says it, he's somehow been absolved of all those things.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Oh no, no, No, he's saying it because he's saying
it because he got fired at NBC and now he's
trying to find a way in in trying to find
a way to be relevant in the Trump administration time.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Well, he's not saying.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It because he sat it out of his self present innovation,
not because he believes it or because he didn't thinks
he did anything wrong. So again, I don't think, to
my mind, most people in America are sitting around talking
about Chuck Toad. They're sitting around talking about their four
oh one case, whether their kids are going to have
a better job, their job. The feeling is you point
(16:20):
out of discontent and uncertainty in America and that's something
bad is gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, I think that coming back.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
To the president.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That doesn't come back to the media, also comes back
to the Congress, to the Senate. You know, everything split
up the leader of the country as Donald Trump, but
the Democratic Party has never accepted it. They never will.
When he wins, it's a fault of democracy. When he loses,
democracy is working. That's that's my viewpoint. Well, anyway, once again,
warnotes dot Com Leland Viddert to News Nation Monday through
(16:48):
Friday at nine o'clock Eastern time, and once again, thanks
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you Leland's fun.
Bill God bless you. Let's continue with more and yes,
we hope to have an objective media. We know we
don't have, but their power is dissipated to such a
great extent because of the lies told by the mainstream media.
