Speaker 2 (00:23):
You by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway In Hotels
are serving up double points for every qualifying stay book
at Choice Hotels dot com. Now here's the man who's
been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not won,
but two prestigious Marconi Awards for he is Broadcast Exodens,
the one and only Bill Cunningham.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Hi, Billy Cunningham, the Great America. Good here with me
this Sunday night. So much going on, so many issues,
so little.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Time, and one thing.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
I look at the markets for Monday don't look very good,
very well at all. That doals down about seven hundred points,
and the markets in the Far East are not very good.
It's because of the tariff issue that is Donald Trump
effective yesterday, Saturday and Monday with the Chinese are going
to have an effect a twenty five percent tariff on
Canadian products, a twenty five percent tariff on Mexican products,

(01:19):
and a ten percent tariff on Chinese products to be
administered over the next day or two. And it's a
consequence the governments in Canada and Mexico are responding in
kind with tariffs of their own. So there's a concern
Smooth Hartley Acts that took place in nineteen thirty thirty one,
which precursed the Great Depression. Is each country erected walls

(01:40):
against other products coming in.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
I don't think that's going to be the case.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
I do not believe that we live in the econo
of economy we had in nineteen twenty nine to thirty.
And I'm reading reports from various studies. According to a
twenty four analysis of tariffs Dunby Mackenzie on the tariffs
on the goods competition for US producer for US made Oops,

(02:08):
you know what that sounds right? Twenty twenty study on
the effects tariffs and theation.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Found that they strengthened.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
I mean, how good was the economy after pars of
Donald Trump, taken up petially by Joe Biden, led to
significant restoring in the industries like manufacturing steel production, our
products coming out of Korea coming out rough job. We're
gonna build more manufacturing Global tariffs on steel American jobs US.

(02:47):
An analysis in the Atlantic count Conservative Organization on the
quote tariffs would create new incentives for US consumers to
buy US made products.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Does that make sense? It always doesn't me when I buy.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Is made in China, can to buy American former by
Treasury Secretary Nick Yellen, who was a left winger, remember
Janet Yellen firm last year. I don't believe that American
consumers will see any meaningful increase in the prices that
they face due to tariffs. Really, and then President Trump's

(03:24):
tariffs on steel and China reduced import of effected steel
twenty and increase US production and steel products by one
point nine percent. In addition, I buy Protestant group of
senators wrote Joe in September asking him to reimpose more
Steve Steel arrists. Ago, I'm reading what the American consumer

(03:46):
says in a new post that these tariffs will have
the effect of having foreign products be sourced inside of
America because of the strength of the American economy.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
And this is all one and left.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
The smooth.

Speaker 7 (04:02):
Can learned that they could kind of taking full businesses
the US. So if you're if you're a field manufacturer,
if you're a BMW Mercedes Benz manufacturer, you want to
locate more.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Plants and states.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
In fact, Honda and in America. The great majority is
their incentivized to doce it because that's and things of
that character. So I know the markets right now in
the Far East are going nuts. The Dow futures are
down about seven hundred points. We'll see what happens when
the market's open in about eleven hours. But at this point,

(04:40):
we'll see what happens. I think Trump knows what he's
doing in Trump, I trust. And secondly, we've had terrible
two incidents since you and I were together last Sunday
night with two airplanes going down, the terrible events over
the Potomac, and then the second one was the medical
evacuation flight out of Philadelphia. And that maybe is in
a separate category because it appears the enginestalled or whatever.

(05:03):
But the FAA had a diversity push, including focusing on
hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric difficulties. And I'm
reading now from the website itself. The FAA put up
on their own website during the Biden administration that the
targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the federal government, as

(05:25):
a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in
recruiting and hiring. This is on the FA's website under
Joe Biden. These include hearing loss, blindness, missing extremities, partial paralysis,
complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism

(05:50):
quote unquote. The initiative was part of the FAA's diversity
Inclusion hiring plan, which says, quote diversity is integral to
achieving FA's mission. Is FA's mission. I think it's to
keep the skyway safe. I think getting on a plane. No,
there's FA's mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across
our nation and beyond. And this was under Pete Buddhajetge,

(06:13):
of course. And we've had several incidents, including with Boeing,
which is a DEI complying company, with their plugs and
their doors terrible circumstances. Following the incident with Boeing, social
media commentators and public figures have said that airlines and
airline manufacturers emphasis on DEI for example, made flying less safe.

(06:37):
And I see some quotes from Elon Musk and others.
Do you want to fly in an airplane where they
prioritize DEI hiring over your safety. That is actually happening.
There's a crisis of leadership with Boeing. Over a year
ago they had major push to hire DEI complying employees.
Many are concerned about that and talk about the extent

(06:58):
of the difficulties here. You may not know it, but
the Democratic National Committee organized itself the last two or
three days and they decided to pick the head of
the DNC. Jamie Harrison, the Democrat from South Carolina, had
done a great job as head of the Democratic Party.
Would you agree they had a great cycle? Actually not,

(07:19):
And in order to pick new leadership, they identified the
problems based upon racism and sexism. In fact, there were
like eight candidates on stage, and one of the moderators
asked the question from NPR. Of course, I don't know
why we fund bad radio that how many the candidates
had to raise your hand?

Speaker 4 (07:37):
About eight of them?

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Do you believe that racism and sexism caused the defeat
of Kamala Harris? Racism and sexism? Every hand went up.
I don't know about you, but when I got on
the plane, which I do infrequently, but I do, I
want to have the most competent person imaginable in the tower,
the so called traffic towers that determine these things air

(08:00):
traffic control, to have the best person available. Did you
know there's a lawsuit for race discrimination against the FAA
wherever a thousand persons were not given the opportunity of
going to Oklahoma City and train for the ability to
train to become an air traffic controller because they had
the wrong skin color, and the lawsuit claims racism was

(08:23):
behind it. And when you read the website that the
FAA is looking for individuals with hearing vision, missing extremities,
partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disabilities, psychiactrior disability,
or dwarfism, you're most welcome. And by the way, I
have represented dwarfs before, and there's nothing mentally wrong with

(08:45):
anyone who's a dwarf. It might be a physical difficulty,
but it's not a mental difficulty. I don't care if
there's six dwarfs air traffic controllers, or I don't care
if there's two pilots that are both dwarfs. If they
can do the job, I want them to do it.
But I want them to get the job because they're
a dwarf. And God help us if that dwarf has
psychiatric problems, what the hell do we do? Then the

(09:06):
FAA says they want not the best person available, they
want to hire the person compliant with DEI, which is
now gone. And as an example, I think it was Saturday,
about twenty four hours ago that Jamie Harrison had a
difficulty picking the six chairs, the leaders of the Democratic

(09:27):
National Committee, so he stood up and made a two
minute comment about who should be voted in the next time.
Now you know, whenever the leader of a party, Democratic
Republicans speak, they do with the force of those beneath
their throne, that is Democrats endorsed by the Democratic National Committee.
The Democrats picked Jamie Harrison a few years back to

(09:50):
be the leader of the Democratic Party. He's a Democrat
congressman former out of South Carolina. The guy's a left wing,
left wing ideologue, blaming racism and sexism for the defeat
of Kamala Harris, and not the fact that she didn't
know what the hell she was doing. And we voted
mainly on the issues of the southern border, which they
consider almost to be a sacrament. But if Sean McMahon

(10:10):
has it ready, my great producer, the son of Vince McMahon,
Sean McMahon has ready. These are the actual comments of
Jamie Harrison, who until last night was the chair of
the National Democratic committee, and they picked Ken Martin from Minnesota,
who was an alcoholtic at Tim Waltz to take over.
But these are the comments, and follow these comments, and

(10:32):
you tell me if you can understand anything he's saying.
Sean McMahon hit.

Speaker 8 (10:36):
It Earles specify that when we have a gender non
binary candidate or officer, the non binary individual is counted
as neither male nor female, and the remaining six offices
must be gender balanced. With the results of the previous
four elections, our elected officers are currently two male and

(10:57):
too female. In order to be gender balanced, we must
we must elect one male, one female, and one person
of any gender. So again, this is what we have
to do for this vice chair race.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
We have to.

Speaker 8 (11:18):
Elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender.
To ensure our process accounts for male, female, and non
binary candidates, we conferred with our RBC co Chair, our
LGBT Caucus co Chair, and others to ensure that the
process is inclusive and meets the gender balance requirements in
our rules. To do this, our process will be slightly

(11:41):
different than the one outline to you earlier this week,
but I hope you will see that in practice it
is simple and transparent. The order of balancing is designed
to ensure equal access to the ballot regardless of gender identity,
as we must elect a candidate of any gender, as
well as one male and one female vice chair. We
will first ask members to elect a candidate of any

(12:04):
gender on the first ballot. Any candidate male, female, and
non binary.

Speaker 9 (12:09):
Can be elected on that ballot.

Speaker 8 (12:11):
After a candidate is elected on the first ballot, we'll
have one officer of the three, so then we will
know which position is filled of the one male, one female,
and one vice chair of any gender. Our second ballot
would also be for a candidate of any gender. Then

(12:32):
our third ballot will be the third position that is
remaining based on the two results, either a male candidate
if a candidate that is not male has not been elected,
or a female candidate if a female has not been elected.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
I defy anyone to hear those remarks of the Chair
of the National Democratic Committee, Jamie Harrison, and explain one
thing that he just said. What is wrong with hiring
someone based upon marriage and their ability? And do not
seek out individuals who can't do the job properly. But
if you're a Democrat and you just heard that and

(13:08):
they pick the heads of their party based upon the
criteria put out by the chair of the Democratic National Committee,
Jamie Harrison. Do you have any clue what they're talking about.
I do not care if every air traffic controller is black,
or disabled or a dwarf, whatever it might be. If
they can do the job, so be it objective criteria.
It takes about two years to become an air traffic

(13:30):
controller in Oklahoma, about two years. And if that's the criteria,
the Democratic Party is employed in hiring throughout the federal
system the last four years. And that's the system employed
right now in the Blue Cities and the Blue States.
You can see why things are so screwed up in
New York City, in Chicago, in Atlanta, in Los Angeles,
and in San Francisco.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Is that the very best we can do as Americans
irrespective of merit. It used to be a test was
given and whoever it did best on the test got
the job. Now you multiply, subtract, add and divide based
upon immutable traits of race and the kind of sex
you enjoy that has nothing to do with the job

(14:14):
to be performed. And if you really believe that Kamala
Harris lost the presidency because of racism and sexism, instead
of the fact that she could not articulate a clear message.
She could not say anything she would do different than
Joe Biden, and Joe Biden was on the wrong track.
He had a thirty five percent approval rating, and Kamala

(14:35):
Harris promised more of the same. That's the reason she lost.
It had nothing to do, zero to do, zero to
do with race and sex. After all, Barack Hussein Obama
took office twice and Colin Powell did a great job,
many say as the Secretary of State. Whatever it might be,
race was not a factor in their selection. What was

(14:55):
the factor is the American people wanted to go in
that direction, as said of some other So we'll see
what happens. But when you hear the words of the
head of the Democratic National Committee describing exactly how and
what to do to pick the leaders of the Democratic Party,
there's a problem right there. And I do not want
anyone doing a job is important as an air traffic

(15:16):
controller based upon the kind of sex they enjoy, the
color of their skin. And I know in many parts
of the federal government one can work for many federal agencies.
And you may be blind, have hearing problems, have other
disorders than you're fine, but that is not being an
air traffic controller. You could work for Social Security, health
and Human Services doing a bunch of things. In fact,

(15:37):
I have a friend of mine who's blind that works
for a government agency and does a great job. They
make reasonable accommodations and this guy performs quite well. So
it cannot be. It cannot be. Please, racism and sexism,
that's an excuse for failure of policy. And when a
policy is DEI, I don't care who you are, that
is a serious, serious problem. Right, Let's continue with more

(15:59):
if a line becomes available. Eight sixty six six four
seven seven three three seven. Bill Cunningham, the Great American,
with you and all great Americans every Sunday night.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
All right.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
So, Donald Trump has saved so far with Elon Musk,
well over a billion dollars in your tax dollars by
trying other means and methods getting rid of DEI.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
And it's not going to give up easy. As you know, DEI.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Corporately and in the government, Blue cities, blue stays, US
federal government is worth about eight to ten billion dollars
a year in payments. That is, it's an industry like
DEI is an industry, Lots of money being spent on that,
and universities are pumping out young men and women committed
to DEI to pay for the sins of the past.

(16:55):
On the FAA's own website, the agency states that people
with severe mental and physical disabilities are underrepresented segments of
our workforce. They go on to say, quote, because diversity
is so critical, FAA actively supports and engages in a
variety of associations, programs, coalitions, and initiatives to support and
accommodate employees from diverse communities and backgrounds. Our people, our people,

(17:20):
are our strength, and we take great care and investing
in them, valuing their efforts. We're talking now about air
traffic controllers, for God's sakes, we're talking about the individuals
that have your life in your hands when you fly
an airplane. Ninety percent of the towers across America have
a shortage of air traffic controllers. Ninety percent. The one

(17:41):
in Washington, d C. The Reagan supposed to have thirty
air traffic controllers. They had a total of nineteen. They
were down like thirty percent. Been like that for years,
and you can't turn on a switch and change the
number of air traffic controllers. We need about thirty thousand
presently there's about nineteen thousand, short ten or eleven thousand.

(18:01):
Because persons were denied entry to the school in Oklahoma
City because of the color of their skin they had
the wrong color, or they were married and they had children,
had a wife, or wife had a husband. They were
denied entry because of that fact. And at some point,
my fellow Americans just got to stop. You can only
imagine the road not taken that If, in fact, Kamala

(18:22):
Harris and Tim Waltz had run the presidency and the
vice presidency, these DEI programs would have been on steroids.
But thank god, we came to our senses in time
to change the direction of this country. And at this point,
the FAA says it employs tens of thousands of people
for wide varieties of positions for administrative roles and execution

(18:43):
of critical safety functions. If you're looking for some person
involved in a safety function, would you want someone quote
with severe mental disabilities unquote handling that safety function?

Speaker 6 (18:55):
Man?

Speaker 3 (18:55):
I don't think so. In fact, just the opposite. I
went the best, in the bridest to do it. Not
someone because of their skin color, or because of a disability,
or because they have some other moment permanent issue that
they can't perform the job. Why not hire people on
merit and stay with that. Let's continue with more we've
scheduled up next, Scott Powell, call him about TikTok and more.

(19:17):
Bill cunning and the Great American with you and all
other great Americans every Sunday night, Billy Cunningham, the Great American.
To come up later is talk to Margaret who talks
about what the communist red Chinese are doing to us
through a fentanyl and thank god the President is doing

(19:39):
is best to shut down the southern border.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Thank god for that.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Also later on as Ali Bradley from News Nation going
to report from the Southern border, how things have changed
quite a bit. But first of all, Scott Powell, welcome
again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Scott Powell, A,
you really have a great column up. I read it
first at town hall dot com. Does President Trump have
it wrong about tik talk? And can you tell the

(20:02):
American people what you mean by the column? Then we'll
talk about those specifics.

Speaker 10 (20:07):
Well, most people think of TikTok. Of course, adults don't
use TikTok as much as the younger generations do. But
TikTok is a is a forum where people can create
videos that have a that are very short. They're short
and snappy, and sometimes they're you know, they're controversial, sometimes

(20:27):
they're they come in different formats. But because of the
because the Chinese have cultivated this this medium to get
people addicted, if you will, young people that they you know,
they get stimulated by a video and so they want
to see the next TikTok and the next TikTok, and
you know, in twenty minutes or half an hour goes
by and they've they've been watching, you know, consecutive TikTok videos. Now,

(20:53):
excuse me, some of these are you know, are just
they're not necessarily harmful in and of themselves, but you know,
TikTok has used the forum to aggregate information on users.
When people download the TikTok app onto their phone, and

(21:15):
there are about one hundred and seventy million Americans who
have downloaded TikTok, that's a huge number, that's half the population.
Then the Chinese are able to basically roam around everything
in your phone, getting all your contact information, your passwords,
your banking whatever is there that it ends up on

(21:39):
a Chinese server. And then when times come where the
Chinese want to do something in America they want to
mobilize a riot, let's say they can go through the database,
you know, geographically, by the proclivities of the user, and

(22:01):
basically be able to target an ideal audience to get
mobilized about a cause. And I think it was really illustrated,
perhaps best recently after Zel was invaded on October seventh
of twenty twenty three by Hamas. Wasn't it kind of

(22:23):
surprising that within months there were all these demonstrations on
college and university campuses across the country in yes, simultaneously
in favor of the Hamas terrorist organization. They are terrorists.
And you know, people may not think favorably of Israel,

(22:45):
but by and large, most Americans recognize that there is
not much there's a huge difference between these two, you know,
Hamas being a terrorist organization and the Israelis being a
pretty robust democracy with a lot of diversity. So how
is it that all these campus movements for hamas with
all got mobilized. Well, it turns out that TikTok played

(23:07):
a big role. It's you know, it's it's really amazing
that that we have allowed this to happen. So Donald
Trump learned about the political nature of TikTok at the
end of his first term and he, uh, he banned it.
He wanted to see it banned, but uh, it actually

(23:28):
didn't go into effect and it was or or it
was protested and it can't and it was up to
the Biden administration uh to put it out of action,
and the Biden administration sort of sat on it. And
now it's now now it's in the once again. It's
in the in the UH, in the political court, and

(23:50):
Donald Trump has given it a seventy five day grace
period to restructure itself. And I'm dubious that you really
can restore ructure TikTok.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Frankly, in fact, part of your column, you say the fall.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
According to Sam fat As, a twenty year veteran of
the CIA, TikTok is four or five times more intrusive
than Facebook and harvesting data from Americans who have downloaded
the app, and that means they have all kinds of
information emails, text accounts, banking account numbers, other information gets
sucked out of devices, ends up on servers in China.
And the malware problem which is existing in all of

(24:26):
our electrical grid, banking systems, car loans, etc. The Chinese
have infiltrated every important aspect and they could really shut
down our economy. And you point out in your column
about the fighting philosophies of the old Chinese, which is
win without firing a shot. It's the art of war
which elaborates on various approaches to deception in order to

(24:48):
defeat the enemy without shooting. And I think the American
military after nineteen ninety one Persian Golf War one, the
Chinese said, you know what, we can't defeat this entity
on the battlefield. Let's get them on drugs, take down
through malware every important business system in the country, which
they have the ability to do. Let's send air balloons
all over the country that divide did not shoot down.

(25:09):
Let's have five thousand of our students every month go
into American universities, and let's buy up land around military bases.
And then let's create this TikTok app which downloads his
information so when George Floyd did what George Floyd did
in Minneapolis, all of a sudden, one hundred American cities
began to burn because TikTok was activated. And so the

(25:32):
question is this, Scott Powell, can it even be stopped?
At this point? Here we are in February of twenty
twenty five, and I guess the President's got about another
sixty days or so.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Can it be stopped? Your column seems to indicate maybe not.

Speaker 10 (25:47):
Well, I think it can be stopped. The question is
would we really ban it and eliminate it from the
American culture or would we try to restructure it. We
certainly can't have a Chinese partner.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Why and why would we?

Speaker 10 (26:01):
Why would we want to even try to do that?
It's it's it's fabricated, it's designed by the Chinese. It
probably has back doors in it. So I just don't
know if it could be successfully done. So when in doubt,
don't take a chance ban TikTok from from America, from
being able to operate in America. And and if someone
wants to, uh, you know, create a look alike to TikTok,

(26:25):
and there are companies. I think Triller is one such
company that could actually fill the gap. But I'm not
I'm not worried about that. We've got to protect our culture.
We've got to protect young people from being indoctrinated. Uh.
And TikTok is a medium that is being used by
our avowed enemy China to demoralize young Americans to think

(26:48):
ill of America and to be naive about about China.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (26:53):
You know, an important part of Chinese unrestricted warfare against
US is to deceive Americans into believing that Mainlin in
China is just a normal state, a country that honors
international norms. And the net result of some two generations
of this deception warfare has been a psychological disarmament of
the United States. I mean, most people don't think ill

(27:14):
of China.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
No, I do.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
I think the government, not the people, but the government, yes,
the people know.

Speaker 10 (27:21):
We always have to differentiate between the government and the people.
The Chinese people, for the most part, are wonderful people.
It is the CCP, the Communist Party of China, that
is the great threat to America.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
You say about the George Floyd riots, TikTok had so
much accurate information on individual Americans through their many years
of data collection TikTok decision makers are able to target
likely rioters with certain TikTok information that was partially false
mainly lies. They also provide a professional advice on how
to do maximum damage while caping the perpetrator safe from

(27:53):
being arrested. And then you go on to talk about
the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine. So I found
this unbelievable. Another speaker, Grant Nusham, a retired colonel US
Marine Corps SEMPIFI, focus on CPC's use of the TikTok
to in doctrinate US military explain what they're doing to
our military. Of course, military is comprised mainly of young
Americans between eighteen and thirty five years old. What's the

(28:16):
Chinese doing with the military?

Speaker 10 (28:18):
Well, first of all, let's look at the size of
our military that are being targeted. It's about there's about
one point three million active duty troops in seven hundred
and sixty eight thousand National Garden Reserve members as well
as the new recruits. But as you point out, Nusham
concluded by noting that you just have to manipulate the
military a little bit to make a military much less effective.

(28:44):
So the Chinese are very crafty, and they are looking
for any entry point, any weakness, and once they're in,
they can affect they can affect the military military capability.
I mean, we've we're now in a in a one
of the worst places we've been in with after the

(29:07):
four years of Biden, because the military became so demoralized.
You know, we had the the uh travesty, the botched
you know, uh retreat from Afghanistan, and then we introduced
DEI and critical race theory to all the military branches,
and this, you know, this did more to demoralize people

(29:29):
in the military and it and it became known outside
of the military that the military, you don't want to
go into the military. You don't want to go into
such a place where you'll be you know, uh, where
you'll be subject to propaganda and and manipulation and and
indoctrination and critical race theory. Uh So, anyway, it's it's

(29:54):
it's great that we have a new day with Trump
and a lot of this is being corrected as we speak,
and it couldn't come soon enough.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Frankly, talk about the ways Chinas think they're going to
defeat us. Number one, economically, we're told within five or
six years, the Chinese will have the same economy that
we have. They have a trillion dollar plus deficit when
it comes to trade between US and China. They have
a trillion dollars of our dollars. Our products can't get
to China. Their products come into this country. They're building

(30:23):
a huge factory in Mexico to produce these electric vehicles,
hoping that Trump will leave office in four years. They
can flood the country with them. So they want to
take us down economically. They want to take down our
power grid, or we might recall a few months ago
there was a Ford motor Dealers had a terrible time
going online because of malware to make deals be consummated online.

(30:45):
They couldn't do that. They can take down the banking systems,
take down the power grid. In addition to that, on
the southern border, they're coming across with fentanyl. I have
a guest coming up later to talk about what they're
doing with fentanyl on the southern border. So it is
not meeting us directly. The philosophy, the fighting philosophy, the
art of war about various approaches to a strategic deception

(31:07):
to defeat America without firing a shot and right now,
the majority of young Americans come out of college hating
the country, hating the way it was founded. Then they
get into companies or in the government with Dei principles everywhere,
and you're coming out out thinking this country's not worth
fighting for. And the answer is, this is the most
mortal threat to our continuance as a great nation, so

(31:28):
much worse than uss Are, which was never an economic power,
only a missile power. And Russia continues to putts along.
But the Chinese right now are changing the minds of
our kids' minds to mush there, indoctrinate them through TikTok
with anti American propaganda. When a terrible event takes place
in some city, it becomes a race event all over

(31:50):
the country. When the Hamas, who are murderers, kill two
thousand or so innocent to Israelis, suddenly we're training innocent
Israeli's in exchange for one hundred or one thousand murderers
from Amas. Everywhere I look, I see I see great challenges.
The present danger is unbelievable. And you have in your

(32:11):
column here that that they've harvested this information. And what
can be done to get the information back is the answer.
Nothing can be done. You have to eliminate the act.

Speaker 10 (32:20):
I don't think I don't think you can get the
information back. What we need to do is stop the
flow of information and and then stop the you know,
the use of TikTok in America is because they use
that information through the TikTok system, you know, to to
brainwash and propagandize the users of TikTok in this country.
So let's let's just cut it off. And I think

(32:42):
Trump needs to we need to put pressure on Donald Trump.
He's you know, he he heard that TikTok was used
successfully to mobilize the youth vote for him in the
November fifth election. It's probably true, but this is how
TikTok will operate. They will throw you a bone of

(33:06):
doing something that's good for you, good for your you know,
your country, or good for a candidate in the country,
and then we kind of let our guard down. Well
it's it's not really Chinese propaganda. Look what they've done
to help Donald Trump get elected. Well, they they're pretty
confident that if they can, if the same trends can
stay in place, that we're going to be a defeated nation.

(33:29):
Then they're going to be the ascendant nation in a
matter of five years or so.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
And Scott Powell, lastly, what they're doing in Panama Canal.
When you read I thought in the beginning, Jimmy Carter,
those of us around at the time, the tens of
thousands of lives that were lost, they're billions of dollars.
We built the canal, Jimmy Carter gave it away, and
here we are forty some years later, and now the
Chinese controlled the canal, the management of the canals. Through

(33:54):
the Chinese. They go to Peru and other countries on
the western shore of South America, build magnificent ports that
they control. They also could with a snap of their fingers,
stop the war in Ukraine by telling Russia that said, Vladimir,
you're done. They want to control the Philippines, Australia. This

(34:16):
is the most serious threat to America since the British
burned the White House in like eighteen fourteen, in the
War of eighteen twelve. I read this and I'm thinking,
you got to be kidding Meed, and most of the
American people don't know the facts about the Panama Canal,
about what they're what the Chinese are doing there in
the Panama Canal. And this is a brutal regime who

(34:38):
couldn't care less about civil rights. What they do to
the to the Wigers, which is an obliteration of the Wigers,
a Muslim sect in China. And the Chinese government controls
as much as they can and they're not going to stop.
Jijao Ping can go away. But guess what the next
leader will have the same attitude. And it is you

(34:59):
put TikTok and your column is great in townhall dot
com about it. But this is one of many things
they're doing.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
Correct.

Speaker 10 (35:07):
Oh, absolutely, Now they have an approach known as unrestricted warfare.
Unrestricted in other words, there's nothing off the table in
the warfare that they're conducting against us. They will use trade,
they will use economic warfare, they will use fentanyl, they
will use cyber attacks. I mean, Chris Ray admitted, you know,

(35:33):
the former FBI director is on record telling us that
that the cyber attacks that China commits against the United
States are are I forget whether he said one hundred
times greater than all the other cyber attacks of other
nations in the world. In other words, the focus of

(35:55):
the Chinese is to destroy America, to undermine America. And
they've done a very good job. And so we've we've
got to wake up to that, recognize that we've got
to really change. You know, we've gotten out of the
business of promoting of educating people. Is let's say, in
a hostile country like China, and it's hostile on the

(36:18):
government level, the Chinese people could be turned against their
own regime if they if they were educated about the
virtues of liberty outside of China. I mean, these people
live under a totalitarian system.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
And we've got to run happiness, Scott Powell. The column
is great unrestricted warfare against our country economically by drugs,
by human trafficking, by TikTok, by the trade deficit, et cetera.
We got to run Scott Powell once again. It's all
over a town hall dot com. Scott Powell, You're a
great American and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Thank you, Scott, Thank you.

Speaker 10 (36:58):
Bill.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Let's continue with more the line becomes available eight sixty
six six four seven, seven three three seven. Bill cunning
In the Great American with you every Sunday night. Billy Cunningham,
The Great American multi dimensional warfare without firing a shot.
That's the Chinese philosophy. And we need a president that

(37:22):
recognizes the risk of the continuation of the American way
of life. And we didn't have one, and now I
know we got one. Every which way they come after us.
A trillion dollar trade deficit with China. That's got to stop.
Let's continue with more. Israel Ellis's next about Jamas, Bill
cunning and the Great American with you every Sunday night,

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best,
the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards
for his broadcast episodes The One and Only Bill Cunninghead.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
By Bully Cuningham, The Grand American, of course. Doctor Israel
Elis is one of the experts in the Middle East.
His book The Wake Up Call, Global Jihad and the
Rise of Anti Semitism in the World Gone Mad. Now
that Trump is in the White House, I believe Benjamin Nenton,
Yahoo scheduled to be in Washington on Tuesday. The first
foreign visitor is the leader of Israel, which I think

(38:57):
is a good sign to send. Whenever I see all
these host is being released by these murderers called a Moss,
and I look at the reaction of the crowds in Gaza,
and then I look at the fresh faces coming out.
I'm amazed they're in relatively good shape after more than
four hundred days in horrible captivity, living like a mole
or a rat in the ground. It's disgusting what a

(39:19):
Muss put the Israeli through. I'm reminded by the fact
that maybe this thing is not in the way we
would want. I would think that when I see Israeli
hostages being released and there's hundreds of A Moss fighters
in appropriate guarb with the AK forty sevens shouting death
to Jews, death to America, I'm thinking, all we've done
is delay the inevitable. So nonetheless, but doctor Israel ellis

(39:41):
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And I would
assume Israel that you're happy that Benjamin antiniall, who's going
to be here on Tuesday to talk to the President, etc.
But tell me your feelings about the deal.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Itself.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
And if you can focus on this, I assume that
one Israeli is worth a hundred or one thousand Alastinian murderers.
So the Gosins give back Israeli soldiers, men, women, and children,
and then in in exchange, Israel releases one to five
hundred murderers and rapists and thiefs serving life sentences. That

(40:15):
doesn't seem fair to me.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
Well, Bill, And first of all, thank you for having
me back in your show. Very much appreciated. And got
to correct you. I'm not a doctor, but but thank
you very much appreciate it. It's us a regular, regular academic,
maybe an intellectual. You'll want to push it, yep, hey, listen.

(40:40):
You know, definitely, writing the book The wake Up Call
was really a calling for me based on what was
going around and what was going on since October seventh
and seeing the rise of anti Semitism and seeing that
just what I saw is the crazy dissonance going on
in the world of things, of the bizarre things that
were happening and I and I guess writing that book

(41:02):
was outlet for me. And I'm really happy to have
the opportunity to share information, really valid information, uh. With
the public about what happened on October seventh and what
is the aftermath, because we're really at the crossroads. We're
at the crossroads of what to do next. We as
a world, we are a country. Let's talk about the hostage,

(41:22):
the one what do you want to call it, the
cease fire deal and the resulting sort of Hosses exchange.

Speaker 6 (41:29):
I think we're all on the same page.

Speaker 5 (41:31):
I mean, it is bizarre and and and you know,
when we deal with people's lives, and we deal with
people's lives and we commodetize them as sort of this
is a deal and this is an exchange. I mean,
use the words that you know, Gaza was giving back
that is I mean, I.

Speaker 6 (41:47):
Appreciate the words. I appreciate what.

Speaker 5 (41:49):
You're saying, but you know they don't own anything to
give back, and you certainly you know, you know, don't
own human lives. I mean, these animals, you know, they
there's no other way I can describe the lovers of death.
They went in into piltrated Israel in the most brutal
way and kidnapped these people who are now the remaining hostages.

(42:11):
In the four hundred and seventy nine days they've been there.
It's always been disproportionate in terms of releasing hostages, or
releasing and exchanging prisoners and things like that when it
came to Israel and the Arab enemies of Israel. But
look at you know, you're right, a life, I can't

(42:31):
put a number on it. We can't put a number
on it. But a Jewish soul is really worth whatever
it takes to bring them home. We have a commandment
in the Old Testament that you know, we have to
do everything we can to redeem people and to bring
them back, and so Israel will do whatever it takes. Unfortunately,

(42:52):
we are put in that position where we must negotiate
with terrorists, which is also bizarre. And we will do
everything we can to bring back our citizens, to bring
back Jewish people back into Israel and reunite them with
their families, and then you know, we'll deal with the
disproportionism later.

Speaker 6 (43:13):
We will.

Speaker 5 (43:13):
We will definitely deal with Hamas. There is no way
that Hamas can return to power. They're using this situation
to leveraging it to their advantage. It's pretty disgusting what
we all saw the other day with the release.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
Of the last release of hostages and just the way.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
That the crowds, you know, gathered gathered around these this
poor woman and the poor hostages that were being released,
the intimation they must have felt by that. It's very,
very scary, really encouraged by the news that your Denbivas
is amongst the next hostages to.

Speaker 6 (43:52):
Be freed on Saturday, although.

Speaker 5 (43:55):
You know the uncertain state of his family. I mean,
he is going to be release. He has probably not
seen his family, probably has no idea what's happened to
his two beautiful children, two beautiful children, and his wife.
And unfortunately, we're we're thinking, you know, the worst about
his wife and two young boys, and and and you know,

(44:18):
Hamas is saying that they've been killed in the Israeli
air strike, but we have not verified that. There's absolutely
no accountability there. But imagine, imagine the pain that he's
about to face coming.

Speaker 6 (44:31):
Out of there.

Speaker 5 (44:32):
It is just unbelievable. What these lovers of death have,
you know, have have forced the world to recognize them,
have forced people to negotiate with terrorists. It's really really
demoralizing to see ourselves in this impossible position.

Speaker 6 (44:50):
But we love life. We're lovers of life, just like yourself.
Bill we can to presume.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
You know, from my perspective as an America that supports
Isra a one thousand percent. I guess I fear that
at the end of the day in a year or two,
if we get back together in six months or whatever,
that Hamas is still in charge of Gaza, that billions
or trillions of dollars of eight is flowing in, and
that Hamas is still the entity that represents Gozans, and

(45:18):
no other part of the Middle East want the Palestinian people.
The Egyptians don't want them, Geraanians don't want them, Lebanese
don't want them, the Syrians don't want them, Saudi Arabia,
the Empirates don't want them. Whatever it is, they're not
wanted anywhere, and they can't live among the rubble. It
looks like a World War II in Dresden. So you
can't live among the rubble. The Trumpster said, well, it's
a million, million and a half. Maybe they disperse them

(45:40):
around the Middle East, but nobody wants them, and you
can't live in rubble as a consequence, But wouldn't it
be disgusting if at the end of the day in
six months or a year, guess what Hamas is still
in charge, getting un money, getting contributions all over the world,
especially from Iran, that somehow all this was for not
not Hamastill controls Gaza.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Is that an outcome that's possible?

Speaker 5 (46:05):
This is listen, anything as possible, especially when it comes
to the Middle East, and when you look over seventy
five years at history of what's gone on, there really
nothing seasons to surprise me.

Speaker 6 (46:16):
It is a really.

Speaker 5 (46:17):
Good sign that Ninten Yahoo, that Benjamin Anton Yaho's coming
to be one of the first leaders to have a
in person relation and in person meeting with President Trump.
And that's a very positive sign. And I'm sure that
if we were a fly on the wall there that
you know, we'd be really happy with what is being discussed.

(46:39):
But I can only imagine that you know, on top
of the list is really the head of the snake,
and that is a rand and you talk about the
moss and you talk about different proxies of terror, Well,
you know, we need to deal with the head of
the snake. And the world is global, The world is
highly connected, and it's not just about what's happening in

(47:00):
Israel as a vacuum. And in terms of what's happening
in America. It's very very connected in Israel. I'm not Israeli,
I'm Canadian, but my son lives in Israel and we
visit Israel often, and of course our lives and our
culture are rooted in Israel. And we appreciate, I appreciate

(47:20):
the relationship, the Close Relationship Bill that the United States
shairs with Israel, and that Israel shares with the United States.
We got address the elephant in the room, right and
that is Iran. And the Iranian regime is the single
most vocal really emmy of America. I mean, they are

(47:43):
constantly chanting death to America, burning effigy to the flag
and people.

Speaker 6 (47:47):
And things like that.

Speaker 5 (47:48):
I mean, how long can we go on for with this?
But as long as the Iranian regime is in business,
then unfortunately they will find ways to fund and to
bring into the center their proxies, their terrorist proxies.

Speaker 6 (48:04):
And if it's not a.

Speaker 5 (48:06):
Mass it's just gonna be it's gonna be the hoodie.
And if it's not the hooty, it's gonna be Hasbella.
And if it's not, then it's going to be Isis
and it's going to be someone else, and it's always
someone else because you know, unfortunately, it's like a game
of Whakama when it comes to terrorists, right, you crush
one and something else so another one pops up. No,
we gotta go to the source. We got to go
you know where the source is, and we got to

(48:28):
cut off the funding. You're absolutely right, Bill, there is
money being fooled.

Speaker 6 (48:34):
Oh wow, what a play of words.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
I was gonna say there's money being fueled.

Speaker 6 (48:38):
But you know what, that money is being fueled by.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Fools, no question, and that they think, you know, until
that Ron says, until hesbela Hamas, until the the al Qaeda,
and until they say Israel has a right to exist.
We want to live in peace with Israel. We're not
gonna anymore teaching the schools to hatred of the Jew,
who they picture as dogs, rats and mice. We're not

(49:03):
going to do that anymore. We want to live in peace.
And the reason Iran will not do that is that
their governance is so bad and so awful that they
need some outside entity to blame on the conditions their
policies have caused in Iran, so much like the Jew
in Germany, when all Hitler blamed the jew for all
the difficulties of the nineteen thirties that were caused by

(49:24):
his policies. They were the convenience scapegoats. The same scapegoat
mentality exists today until Hamas says, okay, we lost you one.
Here's your hostages. We're not going to have schools anymore
teaching hate towards Jews, Christians and Americans. We're done with that.
We want to live in peace. What Hamas hesblah the
hooties when al Qaeda says, I want to live in

(49:46):
peace with Jews and Americans wherever they be located. Let's
get to work on our own societies. Until that happens,
the enemies must be obliterated.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
They must be eliminated.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
You can't lead Nazi Germany like in Febeus you worry
four nineteen forty five, when Adolf Hitler or the Nazis
still in charge, and right now it appears from the
relation of Amas is in charge.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
Can't do it.

Speaker 5 (50:10):
And you know what when Nazi, when Hitler and Nazi
Germany was being decimated and they were being brought down
and we were, you know, becoming victorious over them, no
one stood there with sandwiches. No one came in with
humanitarian aid to support these guys and say, oh, you know,
let's see these soldiers, let's let's you know, they know

(50:32):
we decimated them, and that is exactly what has to
happen here. You're absolutely right with Amas. You know, Bill
I wrote The wake Up Call and by the way,
please your listeners, it's available on Amazon. Please go ahead
and buy The wake Up Call and by Israel Ellison
and learn about learn about you know exactly what happened
on October seventh, learn about you know why the baseless

(50:57):
claims of occupancy or calling in side is Bill is
being accused of.

Speaker 6 (51:04):
It's just terrible. It's just terrible.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
But you know, the most important thing of a here
is to identify and to understand this relationship that has happened.
And you're absolutely right. It's the classic red Karen. Iran
needs to detract. Ultimately, it all comes down to big
business and it comes down to power. But Iranian, the
Iranian regime has another agenda. It's a deadly agenda, and

(51:29):
it's called the Global Jihad. And the global Jihad is
about infiltrating Jihattis into the neighborhoods of America, the neighborhoods
of Western society, and they are doing it and they're
being successful at it.

Speaker 6 (51:42):
They have put.

Speaker 5 (51:43):
Together you know, I don't want to get paranoid, go
back to the McCarthy area. Macarthury have reads under the bed.
But what we have here in this time, in our generation,
right now, we've got jihadis under the bed, if you
want to call it that way. And you can see
it happening. There have been over forty thousand terrorists attacks
since nine to eleven. We recently sign on January first,

(52:06):
New Orleans. Terrible people being mowed down from a guy.
And that's what's happened. They are not lone wolf attacks.
These are the Jahadas. This is what's happening with a
coordinated effort from Iran to go ahead and to undermine America.
And we've got to stop it. And I'm really hoping
that during this meeting between NAT and YAHOO and President

(52:29):
Trump that there's discussions about exactly where those two thousand
pounds bonds that are being delivered to Israel, where some
of them hopefully are going to make it make their
way to destroy the nuclear capabilities and by the way
we all know this Iran. It's not just about their
their proxyateare and it's not just about the red herring
with reguards to their own economy and how they've devastated

(52:51):
their own country and their own people. It's about their
nuclear ambitions.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Bill.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
Remember, they're going to become a nuclear power if they're
not stop soon. These guys, these terrorists, these segistic mad men,
are going to become a nuclear power in the world.
And then what are we going to do? So we
got we gotta deal with this. And I'm really camping
on the fact that the Trumpman administration. You know that

(53:17):
the Biden administration, really we know, they.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Drop the ball.

Speaker 5 (53:20):
They bent their knee. They thought, oh, we're going to
negotiate with these people. There is no negotiation. There is
no Mads theory. And that's why the book is called
The World Has Gone Mad because mutually a sure destruction
does not apply anymore. We need to take out the head.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
Of the stink e israel Alis books, Wake Up call.
I tell you what.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
Until Hamas unconditionally surrenders, gives back to the hostages and
pledge to live in peace. And I think that's a
pipe dream because These guys are committed murderers. They live
and die to kill Jews, to rape Jewish women, to
kill babies. That's why they exist.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
You know what, I know it.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
Yeah, it's not going to stop, and it's not going
to stop until they are stopped. And I hope the
meeting on Tuesday has some measurable impact. Lastly, about a
minute remaining, are you I see the Trumpster is going
to get off college campuses those students who are a
shouting death to Israel, antisemitic remarks, putting cement in the
plumbing of Columbia University. I think that's a positive step

(54:22):
for all these colleges universities that harbor hamas sympathizers and
we support them.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
Also get them, get them the hell out of the country.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
Absolutely, they're people who's post hatred on social media and
you know who intimidate Jewish students on campuses and continue
to do these things. They're not even probably students, and
they're probably paid protesters from Iran. Anyone caught doing that,
there should be a policy. That policy does exist, by
the way, in Western Europe in some places, there should

(54:52):
be a no zero tolerance policy of you do that,
you're gone. We're going to come and collect you. Your
visa is canceled. You are the next plane out of here.

Speaker 6 (55:01):
Goodbye.

Speaker 5 (55:02):
This is not America. This is not what we want anymore.
So let's hopefully that happens. Bill.

Speaker 6 (55:07):
I want to thank you so.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
Much for having me on your show again. I look
forward to joining you anytime you want to talk about
this and spreading the good word and fighting the good
fright and making sure that the people out there, your
listeners are aware of what's going on. And the wake
up call Global Gihead and the rise of anti Semitism
in a world Gode Mad available on Amazon, and you
can also connect with me on my website at Israel

(55:31):
Elis dot com. I invite the conversation. I invite people
to become informed, and I invite the discussion. Please anyone
out there feel free to get in touch with.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Me Israel Ellis dot com, Israel. Once again, thank you
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. I will make
you a doctor irrespective of your objections. I think you're
a healer of the problems and therefore we need more
like you. And the ignorance on college campuses and among
many Democrats is despicable and the truth will set us
all free and make it.

Speaker 4 (55:59):
God bless us big.

Speaker 5 (56:01):
Thank you so much. God bless you too and your support.
And I am out there speaking to campuses now. We're
speaking to students, speaking to the crowds about who wants
to be informed about this. And I am happy to
come and speak to anyone out there that wants to listen.
And thank you again for having me. Bill appreciate the
doctorship as well.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
God bless America. Israelis thank you very much. Thank you,
Bill Cunningham, the Grand American live with you every Sunday. Hi,
Billy Cunningham, And I think it's very noteworthy that Heart,
if you love president having his first foreign visitor is
Benjamin Netchiahu. He's the only president in American history that

(56:44):
has Jewish grandchildren. He cares deeply about Israel and it's success.

Speaker 13 (57:07):
The NTSB scoured the creator created by the medical jet

Speaker 13 (57:14):
In that whole, investigators found the black box in decent
condition about eight feet below ground.

Speaker 12 (57:19):
Meantime, we're learning more about the impact of this crash,
which killed seven, including a child.

Speaker 14 (57:25):
They say twenty two people were injured here in this
area on the ground when that medical jet can crashing down.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
At least five of.

Speaker 14 (57:32):
Those individuals are said to be in critical condition. The
mayor also spoke about the resources available to this community
if they've been displaced in this area, if they need
any type of help.

That's ABC.

thirty two to un US Route fifty two, and that
is about one point two miles, so you will have
laying closures.

Speaker 9 (58:07):
But you're looking good, Cincinnati.

Speaker 12 (58:09):
Why otherwise we're looking at mostly cloudy skies tonight, ALOA forty.

Speaker 9 (58:12):
It's forty right now.

Speaker 12 (58:13):
In the radar clear Monday, it's a mix of sun
and clouds to high at sixty six Monday night, staying
mostly cloudy with Valoa thirty eight. Several thousand protesters against
President Donald Trump's immigration policies and ice rates are causing
a major gritlock in downtown Los Angeles on the ground
near US for Route one oh one is ABC's Tim
Capudo saying.

Speaker 15 (58:33):
It's a mess is the understatement of the century. It
has been a problem all day long as many of
these protesters have been not just on the one on one,
but many of these streets in downtown La Soilaped has
come in to try to manage the traffic situation, which
was a bit scary at times because cars were moving
as protesters were moving physically on the street as well.

(58:54):
They were moving slow, albeit, but they were moving around
at the same time.

Speaker 12 (58:58):
Our next up that is at midnight maw Who's Radio
seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 4 (59:02):
Are you having trouble hearing? Hearing loss can devastate the
quality of your life. Now there's an affordable fix for you.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Bill Cunningham, the Great American, of course. Last Sunday, CBS
Morning News, Margaret Brennan kind of one.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
After JD.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
Vance the columns written here by Bill Donoghue of the
Catholic League and Michael McDonald, CBS sides with the bishops.
I can't recall the time when the mainstream media CBS
is among the worst, actually took the side of the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. But they dead last
Sunday when questioning JD. Vance to make him look bad,

(59:39):
and it dealt with whether or not the immigration policies
of the Trump administration was in concert with the desires
of the Catholic Conference Bishops and of course Margaret Brennan,
the CBS faced the nation kind of took the side
of the Catholic Church against JD Vance, which I thought
was quite interesting. Jodan you and I now is Michael
McDonald the Catholic League in New York City, and Mike,

(01:00:02):
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. So when I
read this column by your cohort, Bill Donnie, who talks
about CBS signing with the bishops, how surprised were you?

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
Bill?

Speaker 16 (01:00:12):
It's always good to be with you, But you know what,
for the last what four years, for years of darkness
that we've had descend upon the country. We had perhaps
the most ath anti Catholic president in American history, the
most anti Catholic administration in American history, pushing things that
were not just you know, Okay, that's a little out

(01:00:33):
of step. You know, maybe we could do things a
little different. These are complete departures from the Catholic Church
and its teachings. For the last four years, the Biden
administration had gone way off the reservation from promoting anything
that looked resembling, anything that looks like not even just Catholic,
but that an honest, good person of faith would recognize

(01:00:56):
as being conducive to human flourishing. Completely ignored all that
by the mainstream media. They didn't challenge him once on that.
They were very quick to remind us how he was
at about Catholic He had the Rosary in his pockets,
and you know, he was always upset about Boe or
something like that, and those were really every story that
he got on, Oh, the bishops are being mean to

(01:01:18):
Joe Biden. But now you get JD. Vance in there,
who is a convert to Catholicism, and you get Margaret
Brennan who just goes right after wantum on a deeply
personal question. I mean, we can get into the policies
of this, but let's not forget that there is a
bit of a history between Margaret Brennan and JD. Vance
During the vice presidential debate back in October. She was

(01:01:41):
the one who cut him off when he was completely
right about the CBP app and not only interrupted him
to fact check him which he was wrong on and
he was correct, but then turned off his mic because
he was right. So there's a bit of a history there.
And you know, CBS they edited the Kambala Harris sixty minutes.

(01:02:01):
They edited Mike Johnson when he was on with Margaret Brennan.
So these guys have proven that they are not good
faith actors. And to go after someone's faith and try
and make them look like they're not living up to
it completely on national television, I think that's wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
So on one hand, they wanted j D and indirectly
Donald Trump to follow the dictates of the National Conference
of Catholic Bishops, But on the other hand, when we
had the most Catholic president of all time, my tongue
has firmly planted in my cheek. Joe Biden rarely, if
ever to the mainstream media ask Joe Biden, how come

(01:02:40):
your beliefs on abortion or transgender rights or school choice
all against the Catholic faith, neutering faith based programs. The
Department of Justices probe of Catholics. They thought the Department
of Justice thought the Catholics, especially the Knights of Columbus,
or like a right wing white supremacist group that had

(01:03:01):
to be investigated. They also rescinded Trump's policies defending the
rights of Christian students on college campuses. They forced Catholic
doctors and hospitals to perform abortions and sexuary assignment surgery.
Under Joe Biden, the Catholic president, they singled out pro
life Catholics for breaking the Face Act. And thank god,
there's been about thirteen or fourteen men and women released

(01:03:22):
from federal prison. So I have all these occasions when
the Catholic president was to odds with the Catholic faith,
and at no point that CBS, NBC, ABC or PBS,
which might be the worst of all, called Joe Biden
to task for opposing the Catholic bishops. But the one
time on immigration when the opposite took place, they're there

(01:03:45):
with that smile that Grinn and I found the whole
interview disgusting.

Speaker 16 (01:03:51):
Oh it completely was discussing and just going back on
the abortion thing. Year ring and year out. The United
States Conference of Catholic Bishops have said that the preeminent
issue for Catholic voters is abortion. That is the top issue.
So that's not like something that you can sort of say, okay,
well we have a different policy idea on this. First
that like you can with immigration, immigration is not something

(01:04:14):
that is central to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Should we be nice to people, Absolutely, we should be
nice to people. You can't go around killing people, which
is what abortion is. Abortion is the intentional killing of
an unborn child. And during the Joe Biden administration, the
great devout Catholic that he was, Mike tongue is practically
coming out my cheek. He was such a terrible president

(01:04:40):
on that issue. They hounded the pro lifers activists, putting
them in jail. The Face Act was used more under
Joe Biden than all the other presidents since it was
incepted back in the nineties. This should tell you where
his position was. And the Equality Act, another legislative push
from the Biden administration has been routinely called by the

(01:05:00):
Catholic bishops in this country as the single greatest threat
to religious liberty because it would completely gut any semblance
of religious protections. We get rid of the nineties law,
the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, it would force Catholic hospitals
to form abortions. The transgender madness, they have to go
along with that as well. And these are just things

(01:05:24):
that are not just a little out of us, up
their ferry, out of step. And never once do the
mainstream media, not Margaret Brenton, for sure, pull out Joe
Biden for any of this.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
Well, the one time something did a car I remember
Nancy Pelosi while she was a speaker. I guess she's
the speaker emeritus right now. She won her Catholic bishop
in San Francisco denied her communion. She quickly flew to
the Vatican, got on her knee before Pope Francis and
received communion. Are got permission? Did you find that particularly disgusting?

(01:05:58):
I hate to criticize the Pope. I know you do too,
But France is more or less accept Nancy Pelosi. Another
they say, on one hand, they're Catholic on the other hand,
they're in favor of abortion up through birth.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
Isn't that somewhat wrong?

Speaker 16 (01:06:13):
But it absolutely is wrong, and it is completely out of
step with the teaching of the Church to hold a
position like that. And I would say this, you know
another thing that I just find offensive about this. If
the average show Catholic is a problem with this, you know,
his local bishop. He can't just fly to Rome and say, hey,
I want to be in good standing. He has to

(01:06:35):
do penance and reform. But she used her position of
power to get an audience with the Pope to somehow
try and excuse her terrible policies that she supports. And
you know, I find that extremely hypocritical on her part.
And the Catholic Church were all supposed to be very equal,
and it was one of the big things that Pope
Francis's push that we got to start looking after the

(01:06:57):
little guy. But you know, here we are just taking
care of of the Washington insider of insiders, one of
the most wealthy women in the country, most powerful woman
in the country, and she just gets an audience with
the Pope. Yeah, I think that's a little out of
step on her part.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
And at the end of his presidency, Joe Biden as
scheduled to go to the Vatican on the eighteenth of
January to kiss the ring one more time. And I'm
sure he would have been whined and dined by the Pope.
He would have been accepted. And no one, no current
American president, has been more anti religious, anti Catholic.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
Than Joe Biden.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
But he keeps playing up the fact he's got a
rosier in his pocket and he's a Catholic, providing cover
for what he does against Christianity and against religion. I
found that particularly disgusting. Also on your website, Catholic League
dot org, there's a posting about corporations has to drop
DEI policies, and Bill Donnegue relates that American culture is
going through one of its periodic changes. One good change

(01:07:57):
is the decision of companies to drop DEI divisive and effective.
And I read a story in the Wall Street Journal
that DEI is an eight billion dollars a year business
that in many parts of government, there's over two thousand
employees in the federal government who are in the DEI
departments of every agency of government. Two thousand employees and

(01:08:21):
on top of that the colleges, universities and which there's
thousands of DEI employees, and on top of that social
media companies and on top of that like Costco for example,
won't get rid of DEI, which is a form of
racial discrimination. And on your website you have a letter
that click here, click there about which companies follow it,

(01:08:42):
which companies do not follow it. Is DEI particularly a
bad policy when it comes to discrimination against Asian students,
or against the white men, or against trade individuals. Is
it a particularly terrible sin that must be scoured out
of America in your view?

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
You know what?

Speaker 16 (01:09:01):
It is bad. I mean, it's not as bad as abortion, obviously,
but this is just wrong because this is another thing
that just flies in the teaching of the Catholic Church.
You know, we believe that everyone is created in the
image and likeness of God, and that's very important. That's
what separated us from all the pagans that came before us.
The Judeo Christian tradition holds that to be true. And

(01:09:23):
then you look at what the I says that you
can judge somebody that there's always going to be a
permanent power class, and there's always going to be a
permanent victim class and it's just worlds is divided between
the powerful that abuse the lower people, and you're automatically,
just based on the accident of birth, thrown into one

(01:09:46):
of those categories or the other. That is wrong to
teach that to children, to indoctrinate them into thinking that
they're perpetually going to be victims and that they're perpetually
going to be bullied over by other people just because
of the accident of their birth. That is wrong in
terms of wrong mindset. It's debilitating. Not only do you

(01:10:09):
have all these you know, HR departments and the government
and private sector and the colleges and universities are a
hopeless case. Not only are you losing money and stifling
innovation there, but you're just strangling these kids with this
notion that they can never succeed. Like you mentioned, it's

(01:10:32):
killing the advantage and I really advantage that the Asians
work very hard to get into elite colleges. That's their advantage,
that they actually work hard to pursue their education and
they get slapped in the face.

Speaker 6 (01:10:48):
Not for you.

Speaker 16 (01:10:49):
Straight white men aren't being promoted. Straight people in general,
or you know, they don't have enough points. And you know,
this is another thing that comes up on college campus
all the time, is the Christian privilege that people of faith,
Christians in particular, have some sort of inherent advantage, and
they're out there lording it over the poor little atheists
who are just kept down and they have this notion

(01:11:10):
of society is wrong. It is a sign that society
is deeply ill. And thank god, we're doing something about that,
correcting and people are waking up.

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
Lastly, Michael McDonald of the Catholic League dot org in
New York City, I saw a report in the Wall
Street Journal that twenty five percent of incoming freshmen of
public colleges universities identify as an alternative lifestyle LGB two
TQ plus plus twenty five percent. I see in various
publications that in public grade schools, well I'm talking about

(01:11:42):
eight nine ten year olds, they're introduced to the world
of homosexuality or the world of transgender rights. I see
that the preaching of alternative lifestyles to boys and girls.
I can't tell how many girls were like tom boys,
how many boys may be dressed up like girls whatever.
That doesn't mean a sex and gender aren't the same.

(01:12:03):
In fact, I'm told by the experts that gender is
a social construct that you can identify as something different
than what you are, and you become that entity. While
sex is xx or x y, that gender is one
hundred and seven different genders recognized by Disney and by
Costco and others. And so that difficulty, shall we say,

(01:12:27):
has permutated itself into the groundwater. And now six, seven,
eight nine year olds are being told that if you
feel you're in the wrong kind of a body, a
different kind of a body, there's a way out of that.
And I know that doesn't happen in Catholic schools, it's said,
but some of the most liberal universities about that are
like Georgetown or Catholic University, and they're preaching the same

(01:12:51):
gender multiplicity as as many of the Ohio states and
the US's and the University of Chicago's. Is a particularly
evil for the public skill system, instead of teaching reading, writing,
and arithmetic, for example, to be dealing with transgender transsexual
rights and to promote the idea that hormones will solve

(01:13:11):
your problem.

Speaker 16 (01:13:12):
Oh, absolutely, this is just morally wrong on the face
of it. And you know, a little thing that doesn't
get spoken about enough but should be. But because teachers
have to spend time on this nonsense, kids are not
precisely learning reading, writing, and arithmetic. And that's why one
of the reasons we're trailing.

Speaker 6 (01:13:28):
The rest of the world.

Speaker 16 (01:13:29):
But it is entirely wrong to tell an eight nine
year old that you need to go out and alter
your entire physical reality in a way that cannot be
done because every single cell in your body is imprinted
with xx or x y down to the cellular level.
You cannot get past it. Nature is nature. And instead

(01:13:50):
of telling children, you know, find things that you like
about yourself, grow into the person that you're supposed to be,
go out there and sell them a bill of goods.
It's never going to anything that is going to distort,
you know, physically, maim them, mess with their psychology, the
whole nine yards. Everything's going to get messed up with

(01:14:10):
these kids. And to be promoting this is a good
I mean, I'll say this, Thank God we live in
Donald Trump's America, where now we don't recognize gender, but
we recognize sex. Biology and science are triumphing reason and
triumphing once again, and people of faith are now no
longer being discriminated because that was happening a lot. You know,
look at in Colorado, the baker out there, he wanted

(01:14:33):
to he didn't want to bake a cake for a
LGBT wedding. Then they went after him again because he
wouldn't bake a cake for a transgender affirming surgery. I
guess they get cake for that. Apparently that's the thing now,
And they were going after Christians were not accepting this
incredibly destructive ideology and holding truth to not only biblical

(01:14:58):
principles but also scientific reality.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
Well, in reality, gender is determined at conception and then
revealed at birth or before if you have certain photos
taken to the baby in utero. But you know, gender
is determined at the moment of conception and it's revealed
at birth, and you can't change that. You can act
as if there's something different than what you are, but

(01:15:23):
that's not the case. Well, Michael McDonald Catholic League dot
Org got the website up, but uh not to go
after Biden's policies relative to abortion and transgender issues and
forcing Catholic doctors and hospitals to perform abortions and sexuary
assignment surgeries against their faith. The media would never hold
Joe Biden to account for that, but they went after j. D.

(01:15:45):
Vance Hard, who by the way, goes to my church
in Cincinnati, OHI. I went after him hard because he
wasn't in concert with the bishops on the issue of immigration.
But once again, Mike MacDonald, thank you for coming on
the Bill Cunningham Show. And Mike, you're a great American.
Thank you very much.

Speaker 16 (01:16:00):
Thanks, Bill, You're great American.

Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
God bless you.

Speaker 11 (01:16:02):
Ill.

Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
Let's continue with more and there it is the media
will use their platform to continue their liberal political beliefs,
irrespective of the facts. Bill cunning In The Great American,
Live with you every Sunday night, Tony Billy cunning In
the Great American. It's always difficult for practicing the Roman

(01:16:24):
Catholic to speak ill of the policy decisions of the
Bishop Conference and also the Pope himself, Francis, who has
Argentiian socialist tendencies. But the Catholic League, Mike McDonald and
others understand that only the Pope is infallible when talking
about faith and morals, and this is not one of
the issues for which he's infallible, and he's no more

(01:16:46):
better at these issues than anyone else, and so I
know it's difficult. I went to Mass this morning and
I took the Eucharist, and I'm a practicing Roman Catholic
not happy with the policy decisions of the Bishop Conference
that's trying to tie the hands of Donald Trump and
open up the southern border to maybe another four to
five hundred million who want to come into this country.

(01:17:08):
I might say, illegally. What part of illegal doesn't don't
the Pope understand, et cetera. So I's continue with more
coming up next from the Southern border is Ali Bradley,
the great reporter of NewsNation and more Bill Cunningham, the
great American. And I tell you what, Ali Bradley's the
best there is that News Nation. Bill Cunningham with you
every Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
Night, Willie rock You.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
By Choice Hotels a count of Rodger Widwyan Hotel. They're
serving up double points for every qualifying stay book at
Choice Hotels dot com. Now here's the man who's been
recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not one, but
two prestigious Marconi Awards for he is broadcast excellence, the
one and only.

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
Bill Cause continue now, Billy Cunningham, the Great America, and
of course on the southern border. There's only one reporter
I check in with from NewsNation, that's Ali Bradley about
what's happening. The media reports that there's been a ninety
five percent reduction in border crossings.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
Where does life find you today?

Speaker 3 (01:18:31):
If there's not much to report on, I'm told by
the media everything's great, is it true?

Speaker 5 (01:18:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (01:18:36):
Hey, Bill, thanks for having me. I'm down here in
Ego Paths, staring at Shelby Park. A lot of movement
down here with Texas Military Governor Abbit making some more moves,
expanding operations down here. So you know, you talk about, Hey,
we're only looking at you know, around six hundred encounters
a day at border patrol, six hundred and fourteen encounters yesterday.
Four hundred and twelve of them were from Mexico. As

(01:18:56):
you just mentioned, that's hot off the process from a source.
I'm looking at numbers right now. Eighty nine of them
are from Guatemala, sixty four were from Hondura. So we're
looking at a lot of northern triangle. What's wild is
only see twelve people from Venezuela. Bill, when we were
seeing thousands of people from Venezuela. Of course, that's a
nationality that's kind of been targeted by the Trump administration

(01:19:17):
because of Trende Ragua, which is that very violent gang
that kind of sprung out of Venezuela and is now
present in what Tony Gonzalez represented. Tony Gonzalez down here
in Texas believes is they're present in all fifty states, right,
So they're seeing these numbers absolutely plummet. But here's the issue.
Don't let your guard down. Don't turn your eyes off
the border, because we saw something very similar at the

(01:19:39):
end of Title forty two. You'll recall this, and the
reason why is it takes time for the cartel to
see how we're doing things. The cartel, according to Congress,
is a thirteen billion dollars a year industry just smuggling
human beings into our country illegally. So you think they're
just going to stop, You think they're going to give
up because Trump's in office, they're seeing what we're doing.
At the end of Title forty two, my york Is

(01:19:59):
tood there and said all these scary things about how
guess what Title eight is going to be in place?
Because that's the removal authority that is currently in place
was in place before Title forty two was put back
in place after Title forty two, which came with a
five year ban, five thousand dollars fine, and ineligibility for
asylum that was actually on the books in place under

(01:20:21):
Biden over the last year but not enforced. They were
doing catching release right where seeing these notices to appear
dulled out every single day to the tune of thirty
three hundred back in January of twenty twenty three. Fast forward,
we're seeing a handful of notices to appear right now
because they have to give them out to son on
the company, children and some family units have extreme cases.
So there are still some that are going to be

(01:20:43):
given out. But the cartel is waiting to see what
we do. How are we enforcing this law? Are we
turning them right back around? What are we doing At
the end of Title forty two, we did not turn
people back around, We did not enforce Title eight. We
let them in. So what happened December of twenty twenty four,
three three hundred thousand plus people ended up crossing our

(01:21:03):
southern border. The record breaking number that we saw that
was again when we kind of said, ah, the border secure, right,
it's quiet down, everything's kind of fixed. No, the cartel
takes time to pivot when the US pivot. So that's
why I'm saying, don't take your focus off of the
border just yet. Yes, all the chaos is in the
interior right now with these ICE targeted enforcement operations, but

(01:21:24):
the reality is the cartel is moving down. You're trying
to figure out how to get those thousands of people
Number one that we've kicked back over and a lot
of them they pay the cartel once they get three
shots to cross, Okay, so they go back to their
plazabus friend and say, hey, cross me over through the river.
I'll evade this time, or all end up in the
back of a trunk this time, or all end up
in a semi truck. They're finding stash houses down here.

(01:21:46):
They found tunnels in al Paso. We just talked to
Victor Avola, who's a retired HSI and I special agent,
who said they found even more tunnels in al Paso
recently that are operational. We found out they were moving
around eight hundred people a week through one tunnel in
al Paso, and that included women from Venezuela who they
determined were being sex trafficked. So that is what's going on.

(01:22:08):
And that was just a couple of weeks ago that
they found that tunnel. So the cartel has not stopped operating.
They're just giving us a little grace right now to
get our bearings. They're seeing what we're doing, and then
they're going to act. So we saw a shootout so
to speak, between the cartel and the Border patrol down
here in the Rio Grande Valley on Thorntun Island, which
was actually known as Cartel Island because of all that

(01:22:30):
activity over there. Now Texas came in. They basically commandeered
that lands and it's ours, cleared it, clear cut it
so that there could be no smuggling activity on there anymore.
So they took on fire the other day from the
south side, from the Mexican side by suspected cartel gunmen.
They were trying to move people across the border illegally

(01:22:51):
through the river, and so that happened. Apparently. Mike Banks,
the new Border Patrol chiefs, said there were two different
incidents of guns are exchanged this week with Border patrol.
Now it's scary to hear that that, you know, the
cartel has been given the quote green light to fire
at agents. You know, over the last couple of months
we've reported this, they're acting in kind of unprecedented ways

(01:23:12):
of desperation with this Trump administration. So while we're seeing
these shootings happen, you know, and then and then we
had a cartel guys shoot a hiker in El Centro sector.
So we've had a lot of chaos with the cartels
over the last week. And so what you know, we
don't know how they're going to operate. Haven't seen what
they're going to do. But agents tell me the shootouts,

(01:23:33):
you know, taking on gunfire from the south side is regular.
But again the cartel is operating differently, So head on
the swivel for them. They're not letting their guard down either.
Just because they've taken on fire before doesn't mean that
they're just going to go okay, well, this is business
as usual. They are concerned. You know, I have a
bulletproof gear now, for the first time. I've never had
protective gear down at the border. Full disclosure. I never

(01:23:55):
thought I needed it. Now I requested it. So now
I have a full kit with me just in case
because I don't know what's going to happen down here.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
So as far as the shootout, of course, we're told
they're now designated as a terrorist group, international terrorist group,
much like al Qaeda, in which the you know, the
eighty second Airborne can wipe out al Qaeda. Do you
see based upon Trump that if these shootouts continue, that
if the cartel keeps shooting at our men and women,
eventually there's going to be some killed, whether it's in

(01:24:22):
the border, god forbid a reporter or other people. They're
going to do this and then we'll have snipers on
the border. Could you see an actual time when Donald
Trump says, okay, you killed two of our border agents.
Here comes the eighty second airborne.

Speaker 17 (01:24:35):
Here's the issue.

Speaker 10 (01:24:36):
Bill.

Speaker 17 (01:24:37):
A lot of agents are actually frustrated that they haven't
heard more from the Trump administration about these shootouts because
of the designation. Right, They're like, wait a second, why
are we going in there and you know, basically getting
rid of them now they're shooting at agents. What is
going Why isn't there a response? Now? Why are we
going to wait for someone to get hurt? What is

(01:24:59):
going on there? Frustrated they haven't heard a statement. They've got,
you know, the Border Patrol chief put out a state
you know, a post on X. But they haven't heard
Trump talk about it. They haven't heard him talk about
these cartel terrorists or you know, are firing at agents.
We're going to handle it. They have no idea what
the response from the Trump administration is going to be,
because we haven't seen any response to like you said,

(01:25:21):
they designated on that terrorist And here's what else is
weird and I try to get answers out of this.
But down here in Texas, they designated Trendy Arragua as
a terrorist organization. They've nabbed several of them, but they're
sitting in jail on state crimes. There's no terroristic infraction
on them at all. They're going to go in the
game database. But what what did that do? What did
a terrorist designation do to these guys?

Speaker 4 (01:25:42):
Nothing?

Speaker 17 (01:25:44):
They've got a state level prime for illegally entering, you
know what I mean, Like they're not being they're not
being leveled like a terrorist. So I don't know what's
going to happen with this cartel, you know, interaction as
of late. Maybe you know, Trump is all about strategy,
maybe moving some pieces that we don't see Bill. But
right now, like I said, agents are a little frustrated

(01:26:05):
that the guy that they're like, we got, you know,
a guy that supports us, he's got our back. He's
not going to come out and say anything about agents
being fired on. They're kind of shocked by that. If
I'm honest.

Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
As far as the numbers you talk, December of twenty
twenty three, there was three hundred thousand known. Now it's
six hundred and fifteen a day. If that continues, my
simple deer park math tells me that's about eighteen thousand
a month as opposed to three hundred thousand a month.
Two thirds are Mexicans, and describe how a Mexican illegal
is treated differently than someone, say from Venezuela or Uganda.

Speaker 4 (01:26:38):
How's that different?

Speaker 17 (01:26:40):
So when someone from Mexico comes over, I mean, the
reality is this, my friend, people from Mexico don't qualify
for asylum. We go over to Mexico to shop, to
vacation to you know, unless it's an extreme case, they're
not going to qualify for asylum. There are neighbors, there
are partners Mexico, so you know, for them to come
over here and claim asylum. That was not most of

(01:27:03):
the time Mexican nationals are trying to evade. Those are
the people that border patrol was down here to stop
years before Biden, right, and then it was like an
open door. So then they started coming over and getting
notices to appear for Mexican nationals, which blew my mind.
I'm like, wait, people from Sinaloa are getting an NTA,
so the door was open for them to come in
and seek asylum, but Mexico. Why would they get asylum

(01:27:27):
in Mexico? And so that is interesting, But here's the reality.
They can be turned around pretty quickly because a Mexico
and US work together, same sandbox, so they will take
them back open arms. And then b these other countries
they're not being taken back with open arms, So some
people from other countries are being removed to Mexico as well,

(01:27:48):
and then Mexico is building those deportations. So the Mexican
national is different because number one, that's the vast majority
of people that are coming across and have in the
history of time, and that they they don't get asylum,
so they're turned around. That is just the reality. They're
the easiest to remove. They don't require attention because you
can walk them back across a port of entry bridge.

(01:28:08):
It's been happening for years. It's happened under Biden. He
deported people too, He removes people too. So all of
those things happened, it just wasn't on display like it
is under the Trump administration.

Speaker 3 (01:28:19):
Ally, Bradley, I saw NBC News, one of your competitors
at News Nation, with video of huge camps on the
Mexican side of the border in which literally there's ten
to fifteen thousand human beings sleeping on cots, tents, on
top of their head waiting to enter the country to
get to use the app.

Speaker 4 (01:28:38):
Of course, the app is now down.

Speaker 3 (01:28:40):
I can't imagine Trump's gonna let the app be as
the vehicle the golden paths to get into the country.
And so the reporter from NBC News said, Okay, what's
going to happen in a year or two or three,
This fifteen thousand waiting to enter the country on the
Mexican side could become fifty thousand or seventy five thousand.

Speaker 17 (01:28:58):
Okay, So are they waiting to enter country or are
those the people that were removed and they've now been
received by Mexico and they have saft sided facilities where
they're processing them back into their country.

Speaker 9 (01:29:07):
Both.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
In other words, once you've been put back, then you
have to go back to Nicarauga, wherever the heck you Venezuela.

Speaker 17 (01:29:14):
And then there's a concern of is the cartel going
to be capitalizing on people returning right? Right, that's the fear,
and Victor Avola with a former HSI special agent and says, yes,
that's absolutely something that we could be seeing that. We
could see people coming back into Mexico and they grab
them and go, okay, pay us again or hay, pay
us to come back into Mexico. Right, So are we

(01:29:34):
creating a different funding stream for the cartel by sending
them back?

Speaker 5 (01:29:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (01:29:37):
We'll see what that all play out. But the individuals
that are over there, there's no app anymore. We're not
worth seeing. You know a handful of people at the ports,
and the reason for that is there's interior ports too.
There's ports down here at the port of entry. People
can legally walk up and claim asylum. That is where
they would be encountered. That is what they're supposed to do.
So you still see a handful of people come up
to the ports right now. But full disclosure, you know,

(01:29:58):
we're looking at the chart of the numbers where we're
from about you know, fifteen to eighteen hundred on average
under Biden when it came to border patrol encounters. But
you weren't looking at the sixteen hundred a day that
came through the port. That was like, hey, nobody thought
of the factcause that's considered a legal entry. And remember
when the app started, it started out as what was

(01:30:18):
the eight hundred and fifty applicants every day? Anyone up
to a thousand, anyone to twelve fifty. Then it was
fourteen fifty while we slept, and then oh my gosh,
sixteen hundred on average every day. So you know, now
it's on the day. Within fifteen minutes he shut down
that app and I think the next day at the
port there was only like forty four encounters versus sixteen hundred,
you know, and so that is a really big difference.

(01:30:40):
That is, you know, impactful obviously to the individuals that
were over there waiting. You know, they were some two
hundred thousand outstanding appointments that were rendered Nolan void, So
you know, That is the reality. It is this unfortunate thing.
They were sold a bag of goods, you know. And
these these migrants that I walked with in the caravan,
they looked at me dead in the face and said,

(01:31:00):
what we're doing is legally illegal. We're not hurting anybody.
We're leaving nothing. We're trying for something, worst case scenario,
go back to nothing. That was a mentality. Why not try?
And how can you blame them?

Speaker 6 (01:31:14):
Bill?

Speaker 17 (01:31:15):
They thought every one of their friends walk in and
get medical help, and get financial help, and get a
house over roof over their heads, and maybe an opportunity
for their kids. Why wouldn't they try? And they did,
to the tune of hundreds of thousands of millions over
four years. And so that is a reality. Those people
were sold the bag of goods. And now we're seeing
them remove from this country. You know, they're starting with

(01:31:36):
the criminals. But you hear Tom Omans say, you heard
Carolyn Lovitt say yesterday, everybody that crossed that border illegally
is a criminal. They broke the lossing into our nation.
And that is a reality. And I tell people, Bill,
I say, you know America voted for these removals, for
these deportations right now, everyone's cheering on, you know, the
criminals being removed, tatted up guys, the trendy Iragua, bad guys,

(01:31:57):
the murderers, the Isis guys. Get them out. But it's
going to come to a time when some families are removed,
some grandmas are removed. Put your head in the sand.
Turn off the TV. If you don't want to see that,
because that reality will come. America did vote for that
as well, and that will happen. People there's already they're
already taking collaterals right People that are there that aren't

(01:32:18):
targets are being arrested because they're here illegally. So if
you don't want to see reality, turn off the TV
because that is going to get hard. We're all humans.
I'm a Christian. It's hard to see. So that will happen.
Right now, it's it's kind of Gangbusters bad guys. So
everyone's tearing it on. But I think that America is
going to have a hard time. And I'm being honest.

(01:32:41):
You know, I don't mince words, and you know I'm
honest about what I'm experiencing and seeing down here, and
I think it's going to be hard for America to
see people remove because I've seen many of them face
to face and they are humans. Yeah, human beings that
God created that got sold the bag of goods and
they bought it. And it's unfortunate that we're going to
have to watch all this unfold. In my opinion, it
is a tough space. America voted for it. It needs

(01:33:04):
to happen. But they are human beings, they are lives,
and it does suck that they got They got encouraged to.

Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
Come well, the thirteen billion dollar a year industry, the
human trafficking cartels, and aren't going to give up their
products and their goods and services for nothing. I watched
Tom Homan with Chris Cuomo a couple of nights ago.
One point four million aliens live inside the United States
that have deportation orders that they've ignored, six hundred and

(01:33:30):
seventy five thousand known criminals inside of America that they
don't want to be apprehended. There's another large group who
simply showed up and work in the fields, working the factories,
work in the hospitals, that aren't criminals. They don't have
deportation orders, but they're here illegally. Which is a crime.
You got to be deported, and so get ready because

(01:33:50):
you say it very well, Ali Bradley, And that is
that at some point the mainstream media is going to
be all over a grandma put back to Nicaraguas, separated,
a mother separated from her two or three kids because
she happened to be at a place where there was
a druggie around and they asked her for her identification.
They determine that she's here illegally in a way, she goes,

(01:34:12):
that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:34:13):
We got it.

Speaker 17 (01:34:14):
We have to be honest though about what Tom Horman
is saying too, though he's offering these families the chance
to leave together. If a mother chooses to separate from
her child, it will be her decision, because they're going
to give that mother the opportunity to take her kids
back with her to Nicaragua, and if she chooses not to,
that is her decision to separate from her children. That

(01:34:34):
is what Tom Horman is putting out there. When I
look at the numbers of these final orders of removal bill,
because we've got one point four to six million, I'm
looking at the total cases right now. What's interesting is
one hundred and fifty six thousand of them are in Miami,
and you know that Ron DeSantis has such a great
working relationship with Trump, so it'll be interesting to see
them really go into Florida because we haven't seen a

(01:34:55):
lot of activity in Florida yet when it comes to
these ICE so called rays, their targeted enforcement operations, but
they're calling them raids, so we haven't seen that, right.
We haven't seen Miami really upended, which is interesting because
the next one down is Los Angeles. Another one we
haven't really seen hammered by ICE. New York. That's the
third down. We obviously saw DHS Secretary Christinome down there yesterday.

(01:35:18):
I'm you know, rounding up bad guys in her words,
so that or dirtbag she called them. So that's where
we're at right now. They've got, you know, a million
and a half people that they've got to find and
most of them were ordered removement, had senti I meaning
they didn't show up to court, right, So they've got
a task they got to find them, right and they
all have their dockets. You know, one of my guys

(01:35:39):
sends me stuff almost every day of who he's going after,
and he's on the Fugitive Operations teams, and I know
who he's going after. He's going after child molesters. He's
going after terrorists, he's going after drug dealers, he is
blowing after murderers. They are not going after your friends
at church. That is not who my fugitive operation sources
have ever touched.

Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
Ali Bradley, you're the best of what you do, a
little bit of a law. But as you point out,
there's still a wave out there ready to hit the shores.
And Ali Bradley of News Nation, you're the best there
is that doing this kind of stuff. And once again,
thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And Ali,
you're a great American.

Speaker 17 (01:36:14):
Thank you, thank you, Thank you, Sir.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
God bless always, God Bless America. Let's continue with more
Bill Cunningham, the Great American. Live with you every Sunday
Night by Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Ali Bradley, News Nation,
go on the mortar, knows what's going on. It's good
to hear from her. It's wonderful. Coming up next, I
think is the expert when it comes to fentanel, doctor
Robert Marvin, and he's going to tell you and tell

(01:36:39):
the American people exactly what's happening on the southern border,
in the northern border, and then just a Mexican problem.
It's that it's a Canadian problem and it's American problem,
and it's all designed by the communist red Chinese to
turn the minds of American youth the mush. Let's continue
with more, Bill Cunningham, the Great Americans, live with you efforts,

(01:37:05):
Billy Cunningham, the Great America.

Speaker 4 (01:37:07):
Now we have a new sheriff in town. His name
is Donald John Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):
He's kicking ass like mister ass all over the place,
from South America, Central America, all over Asia, and they're concerned.
It's amazing to me that the Chinese, either through TikTok
or through fentanyl, is trying to poison and kill as
many Americans as possible indirectly as they send hot air
balloons all over the country and introducing fentanyel into the

(01:37:32):
country the precursors. And now we got someone trying to
stop it. Doctor Robert Marbatt is a renowned expert on
homelessness and a senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute's Center
on Wealth and Poverty. As a PhD, and political behavior
in American political institutions, and it's marked by being He's courage,
marked by being bipartisan as much as possible. So, first
of all, doctor Robert Marbatt, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show.

(01:37:55):
So let's first deal with Fittanel. I don't know any
American family that's not concerned with it. I live in
the state of Ohio. There were two or three college
co eds who thought they were taking some sort of
upper turnout to be Ventanyl. In Cincinnati. There was a
noted football player amateur. I've played high school football at
Great High School. He's dead three years later. He went

(01:38:15):
to Maryland. The website has do it for Jack dot Com,
which his parents got to be notified. And nothing frightens
us more than the idea that the communist red Chinese
are killing Americans in large numbers for many, many years
and now they're mased. First of all, before we get
into my President Trump can do, can you describe to
the American people, doctor Robert Marbatt, the scope of the

(01:38:36):
problem that really started seven or eight years ago and
metastasized the past four years.

Speaker 11 (01:38:42):
So think about how bad this is.

Speaker 18 (01:38:45):
With it, there's one number that I always use that
really puts it in perspective. More people have died in
the last five years of fentanyl than all Americans have
died in the last hundred years of war. So if
you go World War two, Afghanistan, Iraq, Global War on Tear,

(01:39:07):
Go War one, Go War two, Vietnam, Korea, Kosovo, a
few other smaller un actions, take all the men and
women killed in all of those, all seven military you know,
branches of uniform service, plus the intelligence agencies. Fittnel's killed
more people in the last five years and all that
last hundred years.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
And those being killed overwhelmingly between the age of fifteen
and thirty five, and that's the end their prime, so
to speak. Why have we permitted this to occur? Will
we know where it's coming from?

Speaker 11 (01:39:40):
And it has.

Speaker 18 (01:39:41):
It is the number one killer right now of all
people eighteen to forty five, full stop. And it surprises
people to know it's the fastest growing death cause of
children zero to four years old. They're not going out
and getting a drug dealer, they're not addicts getting poisoned
because fitinel is so powerful, so potent, and everywhere. The

(01:40:05):
reason why fitnel looks so bad is it's the most
powerful synthetic drug ever made in a laboratory. You can
barely see it, you can't taste it, and you can't
smell it.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
And as far as the amount that could kill someone,
if you would take a salt shaker and put a
little bit on your table at dark table and look
at that white salt against the dark table, how many
little granules can kill someone.

Speaker 18 (01:40:31):
Two grains will kill most people. Three grains of salt
will kill everybody. Pure fetanel or one grain of rice
will kill fifteen people, not an average.

Speaker 3 (01:40:44):
One grain of rice would kill fifteen human beings one grain.

Speaker 18 (01:40:50):
We've never seen anything this to me. If you think
about how many people who died fighting Tojo and Hitler
over a five year period for United States of America,
we're way more that in the last four years of
fentanyl alone, just that one war. And so we need

(01:41:12):
to act like our house is on fire. And the
last four years the administration was asleep at the wheel
or didn't care about it.

Speaker 11 (01:41:22):
Some have told me they didn't want to.

Speaker 18 (01:41:25):
Talk about the politics of fentanyl because you can't talk
about fentanyl without talking about open borders. Their interconnected is
not the only reason. It's not the only cause, but
it's a big part of the puzzle.

Speaker 3 (01:41:38):
Why do the drug dealers, the Mexican drug cartels. Plus
in America, you can buy a certain kind of a
press for like one hundred dollars on Amazon to press
these pills. Where did the chemicals generally come from that
kill hundreds of thousands of Americans?

Speaker 4 (01:41:55):
Is it China or is it Mexico?

Speaker 11 (01:41:57):
So let's do it quick.

Speaker 18 (01:42:00):
You know one oh one on food chain, the precursor
drugs and now the pre precursor drugs almost all come
out of China, and you can get those on the
dark web. You can get a lot of it on Amazon.
But the critical acting ingredients come out of China. It
then goes through the first phase of the fednel crisis

(01:42:21):
went through Mexico with the cartels in Mexico, and what
they were doing is backfilling. The Purdue pharma crisis is
everybody knows the Purdue Pharma. Everybody got addicted to synthetic opioids,
and they were putting out the message that it wasn't addictive. Well,
it turns out not only was that wrong and a lie,

(01:42:42):
it was the most addictive drug we've ever seen on
planet Earth. And the cartels were very They are horrible people.

Speaker 11 (01:42:49):
And they do horrible things, but they're entrepreneurs.

Speaker 18 (01:42:52):
And they saw all those lawsuits with Perdue Pharma, so
you had millions of people with prescriptions, hundreds of thousands
of people addicted, so they backfilled that supply. That's why
it went so fast. The cartels already had distribution systems
in the United States, so they just backfilled it, moved
it quickly in conjunction with China, and in the last

(01:43:15):
eight months, the northern border now has become it's possible
that more fentanyls coming across the northern border now. And
the northern border is FORUS because of the southwest border.
Because so many people have had to deal with the
southwest border, it's left our northern flank open now.

Speaker 3 (01:43:33):
And are the drug dealers so imprecise and how much
fentanyl they're putting into a pill or drug so imprecise,
That's why the death takes place. Drug dealers don't want
to kill the customers. They want to keep the customers
alive and going. But we talked about it, no true
or false.

Speaker 11 (01:43:49):
Exactly right, exactly right.

Speaker 18 (01:43:51):
They don't want to but it's so potent in such
small Think about two grains versus three grains and four
grains of salt like you're example of pouring it out
on a dark table.

Speaker 11 (01:44:03):
It's hard to figure that out.

Speaker 18 (01:44:05):
And every grain of salts a little different in size
and such, and so it.

Speaker 11 (01:44:09):
Is so powerful.

Speaker 18 (01:44:11):
The precision instruments you need to make a lethal dose
or a dose that makes you high that doesn't kill
you is so hard to do it. In most average
street dealers, and certainly the wholesale producers, they don't have
the very scientific microscopic weight measurement devices to do it.

(01:44:32):
So they just sort of put it together. And I've
had probably a dozen dealers tell me it sort of
doesn't matter because they've gone to a Originally fentanyl was
a margin drug. They did it on the margin. Now
they do it on the volume. And their view is
if more people are dying, that's sort of good for them.

Speaker 11 (01:44:53):
Because it means more people are taking it.

Speaker 18 (01:44:56):
And so they're willing to lose some people by death
because they get a bigger amount of people or a
larger number of people purchasing fentanyl.

Speaker 3 (01:45:05):
Assuming you survive over peradive days or weeks taking these
drugs that could be in pill form or marijuana whatever
it is, or cocaine. What kind of high do you
get from fentomyl that you don't get from some other drug.

Speaker 18 (01:45:19):
It is the most powerful high there is of any
type of drug ever ever made.

Speaker 19 (01:45:25):
That.

Speaker 11 (01:45:25):
We used to think organic.

Speaker 18 (01:45:27):
Opioids was probably the most powerful drug out there. Finnyl
is made in a lap and is one hundred times
more powerful than morphine, fifty times more powerful than straight
up pairlin. And I'm not saying fifty percent. I'm not
saying fifty basis points. I'm saying one hundred times and

(01:45:48):
fifty times. So that's ten thousand percent more powerful than morphine.

Speaker 3 (01:45:52):
Why does you've written on this? Why does in China
have an addiction problem? Like America has an addiction problem?
What does in China have have the same problem. That's
where most of the precursors come from. They're killing Americans
either the minds become mush through TikTok or their bodies
die from fentanyl addiction. China wants to destroy this country.
Why does in China have an addiction from.

Speaker 18 (01:46:14):
Well, when we were working on the movie that i'd produced,
Fentanyl Death Incorporated I spent three weeks in China and
I've spent it since amount of time in Mexico. And
what's fascinating is both those countries have almost no fentanyl addiction.
They understand how powerful it is. And in China they

(01:46:35):
have the strictest laws and the books anywhere in the world,
and they fully implement them. They fully you know, they
basically execute high volume dealers and they know it. And
I went spent three weeks doing my film. I went
to big city, small city, went to seven and eight

(01:46:55):
of the largest cities in China, went all over and
I only saw four people under the influence of anything
in my entire time there, and two where alcohol, one
was math, and one is sentinel. And you always know
sentinel because they're sort of bent over. That paralyzes the
chest cavity. And the way you die, by the way,

(01:47:16):
is because it paralyzes your lung and heart, so your
heart stops beeding and your lung stoped breathing.

Speaker 3 (01:47:22):
That's a problem. So China not caring about little things
like do process. If they would catch a fentanyl dealer
in Beijing, they march them to a wall and shoot.

Speaker 18 (01:47:33):
Them, and the whole process may take a day may
the whole thing, and they're very serious about how end
users and the thing in the beginning, because I struggled
a lot with it, was this was intentional or whatever.
And in the beginning I am absolutely convinced it was

(01:47:55):
China trying to get hard American currency because they're in
a big economic crisis. A lot of people are not
aware of it. They're in real trouble and they need
hard currency. So in the beginning, I think it was
all about getting hardback green back dollars. But over time
they started realizing, you know what, not only are we
going to make a lot of money and help our

(01:48:18):
currencies stabilize, we now are destabilizing our number one adversary.
And I don't think it was intentional in the beginning,
but now it's a secondary benefit that they're like, hey,
well we'll just let it keep flowing in there, and
it destabilizes the United States.

Speaker 11 (01:48:36):
It's not just the death toll. It's the finances.

Speaker 18 (01:48:40):
It's the criminal justice system, is the judicial system. It's
the breakdown of families. It's the overflowing hospital rooms, overflowed.

Speaker 11 (01:48:49):
With police response.

Speaker 18 (01:48:51):
I've worked in many cities where at least a third
of their calls or fit no calls.

Speaker 3 (01:48:57):
How many firefighters in every major city in which they
carry with them the antidotes. But and it's a regular event.
I live in Cincinnati. It's a regular event that the
same individuals might be hit up three, four to five
times a week, and the fire department's right there and
they save them and save them and save them, and
they're thinking, what are we doing? And this feeds into

(01:49:17):
something that you've written about extensively, the homelessness problem. You're
right about the West coast. Describe the homelessness problem and
it's connection.

Speaker 1 (01:49:26):
To ventanyl well.

Speaker 18 (01:49:28):
Right now, United States street level homelessness is doubling every
four years, and the Abided administration, the numbers were so
bad this year. They released it two days after Christmas,
one day after Hanuka, and on the Friday before New
Year's that's how bad. And by law they have to
give an annual report, and the numbers are so bad

(01:49:49):
they buried it. The only thing they could have done
more to bury it was released it on Saturday of
holiday week and the numbers are so bad. In Sentinel
initially hit the homelessness community really really hard. Now, Fentanyl's
sort of across all populations, all sectors, all states. But
in the beginning, the real foothole Finnyl started in the

(01:50:13):
homelessness community, and that's why there's a direct tie on
this and the other thing you mentioned about the sort
of reversal agents or narcan. And there's a myth out
there by some on the far left that all you
got to do is have Narton and it will say
and it will save you. Think about when you know
sadly a person who has a stroke or heart attack.

(01:50:35):
First thing we all always ask if a family member
or friend is how long were they without oxygen? How
long were with their heartbeat, because that would tell you
how much brain damage is you have. And most people
on Finnyl, they actually are legally dying, technically clinically dying
on the street, and then they get a reversal agent,
so they'll go two or three minutes without oxygen. I've

(01:50:59):
seen people will go four or five minutes without oxygen,
get hit with fentanyl.

Speaker 11 (01:51:04):
And they they're alive.

Speaker 18 (01:51:06):
But the amount of brain damage, especially the aculative brain
damage as you mentioned, many people getting hit.

Speaker 11 (01:51:13):
Two or three four times in a week.

Speaker 18 (01:51:15):
It's some point the brain damage kicks in and that's
why it's a real myth thinking that will solve it.
And here's another weird anecdotal stat And I wish we
could get some real good research on it, but sadly,
people die too fast. It's so it's almost impossible to
figure out. I have never met a person who's been

(01:51:37):
on fentinel over eighteen months.

Speaker 4 (01:51:39):
Can't do it, ever, can't do it that.

Speaker 18 (01:51:41):
You can't do it, you die within eighteen months. And
if you don't die through the pure overdose, you die
through the cumulative brain damage that occurs and other you know,
it just wrecks your whole body.

Speaker 3 (01:51:52):
Tell me what the Trumpster can do? What can Donald
Trump do that Biden ignored?

Speaker 18 (01:51:57):
Well, he did more than and then Biden did in
the entire four years. He did more in the four
weeks after he was elected, before he took office than
Biden did.

Speaker 11 (01:52:10):
In his entire four years.

Speaker 18 (01:52:12):
And the most important thing that President Trump has gotten,
he's got the tension of China, of Mexico, and in Canada.

Speaker 11 (01:52:19):
Remember we got to watch our northern flank. He can't go.

Speaker 18 (01:52:22):
It's southwest borders real bad. But we also got to
remember the northern borders become a sieve too. And the
Canadian US border is the longest border between any two
countries in the world. A lot of people forget about that.
And it's not just you know, Blaine to Maine. It's
also the Alaskan border on the western frontier of Canada.

(01:52:45):
And we got to realize if we're going to solve
this now, we got to go after China. We got
to go after Mexican cartels, we got to go after
the Canadian biker gangs. And we also have to recriminalize
high end drugs in the United States. We have had
many parts of the country legally decriminalized drugs or functionally

(01:53:07):
decriminalized by not prosecuting people.

Speaker 4 (01:53:10):
Right let them.

Speaker 11 (01:53:11):
We have to bring this real prosecution back.

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):
Lastly, doctor Robert Marbatt, what is the name of your documentary?
And I'll give the website out again. Tell us the
story of a bright young college kid. Do it for
Jack dot com. But what is your documentary?

Speaker 18 (01:53:26):
Bit a little depth incorporated and you can see that
now on Salem. Now we're going to be in theaters
in March April, and we'll be in general distribution starting
in April April May Time Prime.

Speaker 3 (01:53:38):
You know, doctor Robert Marbat, the warning is out there,
and this isn't drugies in some opiing den. These are normal,
average Americans who get caught in this world thinking they're
taking a diet pill or an upper or down, or
they think they're smoking pot that you know is not
lace with anything through a drug dealer, could have three
or four grains of fentanyl in it, and you're hooked,

(01:53:58):
and you're you will live much longer. But we have
to run. Doctor Robert Marbat, You're a great American, and
thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Let's
keep the message going, Doc, Thank you very much.

Speaker 18 (01:54:09):
Thank you so much, and most importantly, thank you for
caring about the fitnel crisis.

Speaker 4 (01:54:13):
God bless you. Thank you.

Speaker 9 (01:54:14):
Doctor.

Speaker 3 (01:54:14):
I let's continue with more Bill Cunningham, the Grand American
live with you every Sunday night.

Speaker 20 (01:54:19):
Excuse me, I know you have a nine o'clock so
I'll keep this short. I'm the business suit in the
back of your closet. You wore me nearly every day
before your office went quote casual. I used to be
the CEO of your closet. Now I'm just that one
intern no one ever talks to. I always thought you'd
circle back with me, get granular, keep me in the pipeline.

(01:54:39):
But nada, nothing. Don't you remember the McKittrick presentation. You
spilled coffee on me and I still looked amazing during
the breakout talk back Q and A. So I think
it's time for me to move on. I've got a
great resume and I absolutely crush it in interviews. Okay,
let's make this a clean break shift the paradigm. The
only thing I ask is that you think outside the
bar box here and do this. Take me to Goodwill

(01:55:02):
where I can really make a difference.

Speaker 21 (01:55:04):
Your donations to Goodwill create new jobs, training programs, and
education assistance for people in your community. To find your
nearest donation center, go to Goodwill dot org. Donate stuff,
Create Jobs. A message from Goodwill and the ad Council.

Speaker 22 (01:55:18):
I'm Tiffany. I have some tips for you on how
to quit smoking like I did. First, I did some
reading about it. I found a lot of great advice
on how to quit smoking and picked out the ways
I thought would work best for me. I started by
setting a quit date. Then I threw out my ash trays, lighters,
and matches. I did other things too, like exercising more

(01:55:41):
and it worked, but I'd still get cravings, especially on
long car rides. To help me with that, I put
a picture of my mother in my car. She died
of lung cancer from smoking cigarettes when I was only sixteen.
Now I have a sixteen year old daughter. That picture
of my mother reminds me that I don't want to

(01:56:03):
miss all the things my daughter is going to do
in her life, including turning seventeen.

Speaker 9 (01:56:10):
You can quit for free help.

Speaker 2 (01:56:12):
Call one eight hundred quit Now a message from the
US Department of Health and Human Services and CDC.

Speaker 23 (01:56:19):
Ever lose your keys. Is that normal, aging, dementia or
something else? Fear often stops us from asking for a
simple checkup from the neck up. Knowing your numbers blood pressure,
blood sugar, and cholesterol are common, but your cognitive numbers
are also important. Request our free guide. It's filled with
tips for better brain health, facts about dementia, and much more.

(01:56:42):
Go to one eight hundred dementia dot org or call
one eight hundred dementia. Your brain will thank you.

Speaker 19 (01:56:50):
This is the sound of E Coli splashing around in
raw Hamburger juice on your cutting board, and it looks
like Mom just put the tomatoes and onions on there too.
Don't let ekol I mosh with your food. And estimated
three thousand Americans die from a food born illness each year.
So always separate raw meat from vegetables on two cutting boards.

Speaker 9 (01:57:12):

to you by the USBA, HHS and the ad.

Speaker 2 (01:57:16):
Council, live from the seven hundred WELW Studios driven by.

Speaker 3 (01:57:23):
Mikey Billy Cunningham, the great American.

Speaker 4 (01:57:27):
Thanks for listening tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:57:28):
And the markets are going to go downward tomorrow. I'm
looking at the Asian markets and the futures under dal
Joanes supposed to be off six hundred to eight hundred points.
And I believe in Trump. I believe what he's doing.
The President has said there'll be some pain but long
term gain, and so I believe in that. We cannot

(01:57:49):
continue on the course that we're on. I especially want
to thank for coming on doctor Robert Marbat and talking
about fentanyl and what the Chinese government's doing to us
on the southern border, what they're doing to it through TikTok,
what they're doing to us through the trade deficit of
over a trillion dollars and finally we have a warrior in.

Speaker 4 (01:58:06):
The White House and not a Putts.

Speaker 3 (01:58:08):
And I anticipate that there may be some minor difficulties
in the beginning. The long term, this will be great
for the American people. I'm proud to be an American.
Once again, thank you for listening. Let's do it again
next Sunday Night, Bill Cunningham, I try to be a
great American heard with you every Sunday night, and make
God bless the night.
