Speaker 1 (00:06):
Billy cunninghamy Great America, And of course Senator John Houston
is still in the Senate getting to work on the
important matters of state. And first of all, Senator John Houston,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And secondly, what's
going to happen later this week or next there's a
movement to adjourin the Senate. I think the newest Senator,
Senator Graham from South Carolina, may be in a position,
(00:27):
the brand new ones saying let's stay untill we get
to Save America Act passed. What is your view on that,
Senator John Houston.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, well, I've never missed a vote since I've been
in the Senate. I'm only one of two senators, so
I'll be here to vote whenever we have a vote,
whether it's this week, next week, September, October, November, whenever
we got to do it, I'll be here. So I'm
all forgetting it done. I voted to pass the Save
America Act six times. And you know, we had fifty
(00:54):
three Republicans vote for my Photo ID bill, which is
essentially the Ohio version bill, trying to do Ohio law
federally in all states in California. But I'm hopeful Bill
that perhaps now that you need an idea to get
groceries in New York City, that the Democrats are going
to come around in a Mandami sort of way and
(01:15):
embrace the whole idea of that you need to know
that somebody is actually a resident before they vote. I mean,
if it's you know, if you've got to be a
resident to my groceries in New York City, it seems
like you might want to know if they're a resident
and a citizen to vote.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So I'm hopeful that Democrats are.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Going to get momentum on this. Now.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That was a classic moment when in order to get
to the free grocery store, which will be an unmitigated disaster,
which will because they don't pay rent or taxes or
undercut to all the other grocery stores put them out
of business, a reporter asked, well, how do you determine
whether or not a New Yorker is coming into the
grocery store? And I think the idiotic response was, well,
(01:56):
maybe you've got a library card?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Maybe they can match signature's bill like they do on
voting roles. Maybe we can do that, you know, it's insane.
Did you did you hear the the mental gymnastics they
were going through. They're like, well, it's not a it's
not a it's not an ID, it's a it's like
a library card or a card of residency. Well, you
want to know something, we already have them. They're called IDs.
(02:23):
They're called like driver's licenses, photo state IDs, those kinds
of things. Why don't we just use the thing we
already have? But you know what, they couldn't bring themselves
to say it because they knew that that what hypocrites
they would be if they said you needed an a
photo ID to buy groceries, but you don't need one to.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Vote Center John you said, also, the CR seemingly is
going to pass. For those who may not know, it's
a continuing resolution keeps us spending where it is. There
were reports that Chuck Schumer and the more liberal parts
of the Democratic Party went along with this till December,
and that's angered some of the base and the Democrat Party.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Of course, today's the big primary.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
In Michigan, with doctor Abdul likely to win and run
against Mike Rodgers. But can you explain to the American
people why the cr was a good or bad idea?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, basically, it avoids the government shutdown because we would
have to pass the budget by September the thirtieth and
Appropriations Bill, and that wasn't going to happen. And so
it has become a customer around here. You pass a
continuing resolution so that you can continue to pay air
traffic controllers and homeland security personnel in the military and
(03:34):
everybody like that. They getting this done avoids the government
shutdown before the election, which I think, you know the Democrats,
I know that the people on the left want it
because they want chaos. Anything that Donald Trump wants there against.
They have Trump arrangement syndrome. Their party's base doesn't want
the Democrats to go along with anything. But let's face it,
you got to pay people who are doing the work.
(03:56):
If you can't, if you can't fund the government and
keep it running, then you don't deserve to be in office.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
There was just a vote in I or two ago
in the Senate Judiciary Committee giving an okay to Todd
blanche it's going to come up on the floor of
the Senate. Have you determined yet, Senator, you said whether
you're going to vote for Trump's pick to be the
new AG and not the acting AG, Todd Blanche.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah. One of the things that he came to meet
with me is he had promised that he was going
to end this fund that people were concerned about. I
had concerned about paying anybody who had assaulted a police officer.
It's not something I wanted to see happen. And he said, well,
the fund's dead, but we were waiting to see you know,
he said that publicly, he said it in the committee
(04:39):
and then he put in writing. So I think that
clears the way for him to become confirmed and I
will support him.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Thirdly, and fourthly, data centers are bigger than Montana. In
some quarters, there's about five thousand data centers all over
the country. Head on an expert who said, look, they
need to be located, shall we say, in warehouse districts
away from residential areas. Number Two, they're going to have
to prove that they don't impact the grid whatsoever. In fact,
they've got to be a net positive for the grid.
(05:07):
And number three, on all these projects, you have to
be able to show the benefit to local communities.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Where do you stand on data centers if anywhere.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, well it should be a local decision. You put
data centers where people want them. I think on the
grounds of former power plants where we you know, these
power plants have been closed down. Put them there because
you've got the electricity infrastructure there. They can build their
own electricity generation. I have legislation in the Senate that
requires them to build their own to build their own
(05:39):
power to supply the data center. But I think they
should go one step further. Frankly, they're doing these non
disclosure deals where they give money to local schools and
they give money to the local government, but no one
really knows. They should send that money directly to the people.
Send them the money by giving them free power or
reducing their property taxes, paying them so that the actual
(06:02):
citizens that live in that community, in that area, they
see the benefit from it. If you want to find
a way to become more welcomed, than do something to
help the people.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
So Senator to Ustad's plan would be to make sure
that data centers are not a drag upon the utility
those of average Americans.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Absolutely, we want them to pay their own way. We
don't want any any of the costs passed along to
residential consumers, and I have legislation to require that. But
by the way, President Trump alread to cut a deal
with them in March requiring them to do this. So
most of the big data center companies are already doing that,
but we want to put in a law or to
make it a requirement.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I kind of want to get your personal I want
to talk about iron briefly, because what's happening now is
the sixth or seventh time the President has said I'm
going to keep talking, and I think that's a waste
of time. But nonetheless, when it comes to Democratic Socialists
of America, you run against Shared Brown. He's one of
the founding members of the Democratics so club, along with
Bernie Sanders. There are two birds of a feather, they
(07:03):
flock together. It's a big election today. Doctor Abdul is
going to, I guess, going to be the Democratic nominee.
Can you look at us some thirty thousand feet, Senator
Eustad and talk about the dangers of DSA policies rather
than the personalities that Shared Brown's been in office thirty
to forty years. He lost a couple of years ago.
He's coming back. He believes in open borders, he believes
(07:26):
in defunding the police. He believes in abortion on demand.
He believes all these left wing ideas would the policies
of shared Brown now fit nicely within the so called
Democratic Socialists of America program. Right now, is Brown one
of those kids?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well? His record, his record says so absolutely. But looks,
we know socialism, we know how bad it is. We've
seen it. We've seen it in the Soviet Union. For
those of us who are old enough to remember the
Cold War and all that happened, you would see people
go hunger. You'd see crops riding in the field. Why
because the farmers had no incentive to harvest the crops,
(08:03):
because they didn't get any of it, they had to
send it away. You would see these just terrible things
happen under socialism. And we're a nation founded on freedom, Bill,
That's that's what this whole nation was founded on. Liberty,
individual freedom, keeping more of what you earned to spend
and save on your priorities. Not socialism. Where we think
about this, you're gonna you're gonna take everybody's money, You're
(08:27):
gonna take away their their individual rights and their control,
and you're gonna put it in the hands of government,
and people think that Kamala Harris is going to do
a better job of distributing the money than than than
than you will out in the private sector. Uh, it's
just it's just nuts. It hasn't worked anywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Democratic Socialists are advancing that they are the Democratic Socialists
are to the Democratic Party what the Key Party was
to the Republican Party a decade or so ago. They
have taken over the heart and soul of the Democratic Party.
For the worst Key Party groups, those folks were for liberty.
These folks are for the opposite. They are for government
(09:10):
heavy handedness control. You believe in the First Amendment, will
If you believe in the right to freedom of speech,
you won't have it anymore because the government will tell
you what you have to say. If you believe in
freedom of religion, you won't have that because under socialists
and communist societies, you don't have the right to worship
the way you want to. That's what that's the trade off,
that's what's at stake. That's why it's very scary to
(09:32):
see the candidates that they're nominating.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Senator you said on the Here we Are Tuesday, afternoon,
and once again we're in the middle of one of
these eight or nine pauses in which the Trumpsters relying
upon the word of Pakistan, Oman and Saudi Arabia. And
I said back on February to twenty eighth, if we
do this, we must go and we must win it
as quickly as possible. And this is the sixth or
(09:56):
seventh time Donald Trump is that, now, wait a minute,
let's not do it anymore, because I'm being told by
our so called allies in the Middle East, which I
don't think many of them are allies, but nonetheless that
Aron's ready for a deal. Can you ever do a
deal with Iran if the genocidal, homicide or religious fanatics
remain in charge? Can you do a deal with the Iotola?
(10:19):
Part three? And not simply win the war as soon
as possible? Where do you stand on Iran?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, Bill, I'll tell you that I try to listen,
and I try to follow history. And if you follow
Iran since they took over forty seven years ago, you
follow the the Ayatola and the regimes that have followed.
They've never kept their word on anything, never once, not once, ever, ever,
(10:45):
ever have they done it. And so there is no
reason in my view that they should be trusted in
this particular case. I just don't think that they will
keep their word. We can hope. I pray, Bill, I pray.
I want nothing more than for this conflict to come
to an end, for oil prices to go down, for
gas prices to go down, and for Iran not to
(11:06):
be a nuclear state, because we will be a better,
safer world if that happens. I have no trust in
the Iranian regime to keep their word.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Zero.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Lastly, you're going to have to take a vote soon
on doctor Anthony Fauci. I know Senator Ran Paul, who
is served as chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security,
has set a date now to hold a vote on
Anthony Fauci in contempt for lying to the Congress this
time or the last time, and this time one hundred
and eleven times, taking the Fifth Amendment when he lied repeatedly.
(11:37):
We now know that the survival rate of COVID nineteen
was ninety nine point seven percent. I said ninety nine
point seven percent. He lied repeatedly about masking, about the
origins of COVID, he lied about the therapies.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
He lied, lied and lied. Where do you stand on
holding Fauci in contempt?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Anthony Fauci was a disaster. He's dishonest, He caused learning,
he keeps shut down schools based on his recommendation. He
caused learning loss, He kept people from their loved ones,
and all of it was a deception, particularly about the
COVID origins. He lied, lied, lied through his teeth about that.
He knows that that was the likely source. He had
(12:19):
experts telling him that, and he wouldn't admit to it.
He's a disgrace, and I look forward to the opportunity
to hold him to account.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now, lastly, about minute remaining Save America Act, I think
is critical we see all the chicanery happening in democratic cities,
especially would you vote to keep the Senate in place
until the Save America Act is passed?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Bill Will, I've voted for the Save America Act six times,
and I have I have been working tirelessly on getting
the photo ID provision of that bill done. I got
fifty three Republican votes for it, couldn't get any Democrats
to vote for it. But I'll be here when we have.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
A vote on that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I'm gonna I gotta you know, get back and see
people in Ohio because I love I got responsibilities there too.
But when we have a vote, I will be here.
I have not missed a vote since I've been in
the US Senate. There's only two people that can say that,
Susan Collins and me. I haven't missed a vote since
I've been here, and I won't miss one. I'm not
going to miss one. I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I'm not sure you get to Susan Collins's limits. I
think she's now.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, I'm never I'm never catching Susan Collins. I don't
even aspire to catch Susan. I don't want to be
here that long, but I would like to be here
a little longer so that I can do my part
to save America.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, keep doing what you're doing once again. Senator to
John houstaid, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show
and a lot of the consequential stuff going on. Stay there,
don't come on vacation until you get the work done.
And Senator to John Hugh said, may God bless you
and God bless America. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Thanks Bill, God bless us. Continue with more.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
And I'm being told that there's going to be some
deal struck and Save the America Act, in which the
Democrats are going to want a water down version and
the Republicans don't want that. We have a guest coming
up later to talk about an executive order, an EO
in which the president can order a national emergency, and
with the national emergency, he can impose rules that are
(14:18):
not subject to judicial review if the President declares there
to be a national emergency, and so I don't know
what's going to happen with that. If that occurs, it's
going to be sometime later this month of the first
of September. And if the president declares a national emergency
because of all the cheating happening in the ballot box
by Democrats largely, then the courts are going to be
(14:41):
between a rock and a hard place, because there's a
United States Supreme Court decision many decades ago in which
the Supremes ruled that in times of a national emergency,
the president has plinary power to impose orders, which means
it's similar to it if the country was invaded, which
it was under Joe Obiden. The president has the power
(15:03):
not to wait for the Congress to act or have
to deal with eight hundred federal judges, each of them
having different foreign policy stopping the president. And so the
goal of an emergency order is saying that for a
ninety to day period, it takes two thirds of the House,
two thirds of the Senate to override the national emergency.
And when you think about selecting our next leaders, it
(15:25):
is critical. It is critical that we have accurate voting
by Americans. How is it possible we spend two hundred
years in this country, I said, two hundred years with
paper ballots, and we knew the outcome of the election
that night or the next day at the latest, and
we got through it with paper ballots. And now with
(15:46):
all the digital and the programs that we have computer wise, etc.
All the digital stuff, it takes weeks to determine who won.
The chicanery and the cheating after the balloting is legendary,
especially in many blue cities in blue states. How many
votes do we need, Let's create them after all mail
in balloting, Let's create them. We can't have that. That
(16:06):
would be an emergency. Let's continue with more news coming
up your home of the Reds playing tonight. Of course
right here with the with the athletics on news radio
seven ww
Billy cunninghamy Great America, And of course Senator John Houston
is still in the Senate getting to work on the
important matters of state. And first of all, Senator John Houston,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And secondly, what's
going to happen later this week or next there's a

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Going to get momentum on this. Now.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That was a classic moment when in order to get

that's what's at stake. That's why it's very scary to
(09:32):
see the candidates that they're nominating.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Senator you said on the Here we Are Tuesday, afternoon,
and once again we're in the middle of one of
these eight or nine pauses in which the Trumpsters relying
upon the word of Pakistan, Oman and Saudi Arabia. And
I said back on February to twenty eighth, if we
do this, we must go and we must win it
as quickly as possible. And this is the sixth or
(09:56):
seventh time Donald Trump is that, now, wait a minute,
let's not do it anymore, because I'm being told by
our so called allies in the Middle East, which I
don't think many of them are allies, but nonetheless that
Aron's ready for a deal. Can you ever do a
deal with Iran if the genocidal, homicide or religious fanatics
remain in charge? Can you do a deal with the Iotola?
(10:19):
Part three? And not simply win the war as soon
as possible? Where do you stand on Iran?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, Bill, I'll tell you that I try to listen,
and I try to follow history. And if you follow
Iran since they took over forty seven years ago, you
follow the the Ayatola and the regimes that have followed.
They've never kept their word on anything, never once, not once, ever, ever,
(10:45):
ever have they done it. And so there is no
reason in my view that they should be trusted in
this particular case. I just don't think that they will
keep their word. We can hope. I pray, Bill, I pray.
I want nothing more than for this conflict to come
to an end, for oil prices to go down, for
gas prices to go down, and for Iran not to
(11:06):
be a nuclear state, because we will be a better,
safer world if that happens. I have no trust in
the Iranian regime to keep their word.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Zero.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Lastly, you're going to have to take a vote soon
on doctor Anthony Fauci. I know Senator Ran Paul, who
is served as chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security,
has set a date now to hold a vote on
Anthony Fauci in contempt for lying to the Congress this
time or the last time, and this time one hundred
and eleven times, taking the Fifth Amendment when he lied repeatedly.
(11:37):
We now know that the survival rate of COVID nineteen
was ninety nine point seven percent. I said ninety nine
point seven percent. He lied repeatedly about masking, about the
origins of COVID, he lied about the therapies.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
He lied, lied and lied. Where do you stand on
holding Fauci in contempt?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Anthony Fauci was a disaster. He's dishonest, He caused learning,
he keeps shut down schools based on his recommendation. He
caused learning loss, He kept people from their loved ones,
and all of it was a deception, particularly about the
COVID origins. He lied, lied, lied through his teeth about that.
He knows that that was the likely source. He had
(12:19):
experts telling him that, and he wouldn't admit to it.
He's a disgrace, and I look forward to the opportunity
to hold him to account.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now, lastly, about minute remaining Save America Act, I think
is critical we see all the chicanery happening in democratic cities,
especially would you vote to keep the Senate in place
until the Save America Act is passed?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Bill Will, I've voted for the Save America Act six times,
and I have I have been working tirelessly on getting
the photo ID provision of that bill done. I got
fifty three Republican votes for it, couldn't get any Democrats
to vote for it. But I'll be here when we have.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
A vote on that.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I'm gonna I gotta you know, get back and see
people in Ohio because I love I got responsibilities there too.
But when we have a vote, I will be here.
I have not missed a vote since I've been in
the US Senate. There's only two people that can say that,
Susan Collins and me. I haven't missed a vote since
I've been here, and I won't miss one. I'm not
going to miss one. I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I'm not sure you get to Susan Collins's limits. I
think she's now.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, I'm never I'm never catching Susan Collins. I don't
even aspire to catch Susan. I don't want to be
here that long, but I would like to be here
a little longer so that I can do my part
to save America.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, keep doing what you're doing once again. Senator to
John houstaid, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show
and a lot of the consequential stuff going on. Stay there,
don't come on vacation until you get the work done.
And Senator to John Hugh said, may God bless you
and God bless America. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Thanks Bill, God bless us. Continue with more.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
And I'm being told that there's going to be some
deal struck and Save the America Act, in which the
Democrats are going to want a water down version and
the Republicans don't want that. We have a guest coming
up later to talk about an executive order, an EO
in which the president can order a national emergency, and
with the national emergency, he can impose rules that are
(14:18):
not subject to judicial review if the President declares there
to be a national emergency, and so I don't know
what's going to happen with that. If that occurs, it's
going to be sometime later this month of the first
of September. And if the president declares a national emergency
because of all the cheating happening in the ballot box
by Democrats largely, then the courts are going to be
(14:41):
between a rock and a hard place, because there's a
United States Supreme Court decision many decades ago in which
the Supremes ruled that in times of a national emergency,
the president has plinary power to impose orders, which means
it's similar to it if the country was invaded, which
it was under Joe Obiden. The president has the power
(15:03):
not to wait for the Congress to act or have
to deal with eight hundred federal judges, each of them
having different foreign policy stopping the president. And so the
goal of an emergency order is saying that for a
ninety to day period, it takes two thirds of the House,
two thirds of the Senate to override the national emergency.
And when you think about selecting our next leaders, it
(15:25):
is critical. It is critical that we have accurate voting
by Americans. How is it possible we spend two hundred
years in this country, I said, two hundred years with
paper ballots, and we knew the outcome of the election
that night or the next day at the latest, and
we got through it with paper ballots. And now with
(15:46):
all the digital and the programs that we have computer wise, etc.
All the digital stuff, it takes weeks to determine who won.
The chicanery and the cheating after the balloting is legendary,
especially in many blue cities in blue states. How many
votes do we need, Let's create them after all mail
in balloting, Let's create them. We can't have that. That
(16:06):
would be an emergency. Let's continue with more news coming
up your home of the Reds playing tonight. Of course
right here with the with the athletics on news radio
