LIVE On Sunday Night with Bill Cuningham 1/11/2026

billion dollars over costs. And so we'll see what happens with Jerome Powell. He's going to claim politics is behind this, but he's leaving office anyway in about three months. We'll see what happens with that. Whether it's Greenland or Venezuela or Mexico or Iran or Columbia or Cuba. This president is doing a wonderful job and shaking things up. Would you agree? And what happened in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning is an example of what's wrong with sanctuary cities and

sanctuary states. Let's begin by saying, first, fast and factual, that it is illegal to be a sanctuary city and sanctuary state. That says to law enforcement, guess what, you cannot come here. We are a sanctuary city sanctuary state. No, you're not. There's no part of Minneapolis not subject to federal law. There was no part of Alabama not subject

to federal law. In the nineteen fifty and sixties, right when the Democratic Party then refused to give black folks the rights of every other American, it took federal law intervention by Eisenhower, by Kennedy, and by Johnson, and by Richard Nixon to tell the Democrats in the South, guess what, you're part of the United States of America. You cannot do this to black folks. You cannot charge criminally federal agents. You have to allow black Americans to vote. In the South.

You can't let you You must let them to go to school, for example. So the Democratic Party has a long history and exploriting minority groups for their personal benefit, which is what's happening in Minnesota right now. You can't have a more incompetent governor than Jim Waltz or a more incompetent mayor. Watching them both perform this morning with

Jake Tapper was disgusting and so wrong. You cannot have a sanctuary city in which you encourage criminals of every description, including trend der Waga, to come to your city and take over apartment buildings and rule doesn't work that way. Federal law applies in Minnesota, and state officials cannot stop Americans from enjoying the civil rights in the state of Minnesota or the city of Minneapolis. You can't be a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state. It doesn't work that way.

And I put this on my ex account. You cannot be an American that impedes, obstructs a noise federal agents and the performance of their duties. And what happened today Sunday morning, which I'm confident what happened tomorrow and every day next week will be hundreds or thousands of Minnesota's encouraged by Jacob Fry to Marrin, by the governor and by Democratic politicians like Pritzer to commit federal crimes on

a regular basis. It is illegal, completely illegal to impede or obstruct a federal official and the performance of their duties. And it is illegal what Renee Good was doing that morning, and I understand for weeks before that was illegal. She wasn't held to account for the illegalities she committed felonies on Wednesday morning. She committed felonies long before that. Part

of the Ice Queens. They committed serious felonies by impeding the investigation by federal law enforcement of illegalities happening somewhere in the city of Minneapolis. You can't do what they're doing. And I don't know why they got away with as

long as they did get away with it. Well, what happened, sadly on that Wednesday morning was a coming together of two people that did not know each other, that is Renee Good and the police officer whose name I reluctant to use, Jonathan Ross because it's out there in the media. They came together for one purpose, because Good put Ross in a position to do what he did. Let's go back a little bit in time before the event took place.

Renee Good, for a period of months ahead of time, was part of a group of so called anti ICE queens, generally white females who liberals, who spent their time annoying, harassing, obstructing, and impeding federal officials in the performance of their duties, which you cannot do. Previously, there were numerous examples of that morning of her impeding federal officials by putting her car in a position where federal officials were impeded in

the conduction of their duty. And they can't arrest everybody, but they tried so in that particular morning. You may recall from all the videos that her car was perpendicular on a snowy street about nine to forty five am Central time. Is that legal? Can you put your car perpendicular and the city street to stop the flow of traffic purposely knowingly? I don't care who you are, guess what.

You can't do it. It's illegal. At some point, the two ICE officials got out of their car, walked up to the Good vehicle and said, using the F bomb, get out, get out, and they reached for the handle of the car and they reached in and by the way that Honda pilot weighed four pounds, I said one hundred pounds, and instead of complying, she was detained. At that point, you don't have a writer of the duty

to leave. When you're detained, you're told stop, get out of the car, and Renee Good did not do it. Her wife was on the other side who tried to get in and could not get in because the door was locked. Why would she lock the doors if her wife was trying to get on the other side. She wanted to keep the officials out, especially when they said get out of the car, which means you're being detained,

which means that's the second cousin of being arrested. So at that point she backed up the car several feet. Now the Ice official was on the passenger side of the vehicle. Jonathan Ross what he did then when he heard his fellow agents say get out of the car, he started walking around the car in order to assist them and extricating her from the car because she was under arrest. It is illegal to impede a federal official

in the performance of their duties. It's a felony that carries up to five years in prison, and all the video shows that the four two hundred pound Honda Pilot came in contact with the left leg of the police officer Jonathan Ross. According to Christy Nome, he went to the hospital. They had photos of his trouser and also injuries to his leg. So there's no question about that she drove a car purposely to hit police Officer Vice

Official Jonathan Ross with her vehicle. That is dangerous. Vehicles are treated as deadly weapons in law enforcement training and in courtrooms. Drivers are assumed not to be evil, but because physics is unforgiving, science doesn't wait. She knew or should have known that by putting her car up against

the body of Officer Ross, that was another felony. He positioned himself in the front left corner of the vehicle so that when he fired his weapon, the bullet enters straight through the windshield roughly a foot from the bottom and a few inches from the driver side. He's probably right hand at which means that the first shot was a direct shot in front of the vehicle that hit her in the front part of her face. It's sad at that distance the intent of the driver is somewhat irrelevant.

There's no time for officer Ross to determine whether she was panicking, who is she? Was she fleeing, was she confused or was she attacking? A human being standing in front of a vehicle does not pause, stop for that split second and assess a motive. He has fractions of a second in de side whether he'll be standing or alive or not. People keep arguing about the vehicle actually struck him. Well, for about two or three days, the mayor and the governor said that he wasn't struck by

the vehicle. More videos came out and it's clear that he was. So the question is not whether a reasonable person standing where he was standing, I believe he was about to be knocked down. Pleaseolice officer has to determine from that reasonableness, whether a reasonable police officer had a reasonable fear for his life or others. All the options were bad. The law governing the use of deadly force

is far less emotional than the commentary surrounding it. It is well known now and you've watched all the shows to talk about. The standard is simple, what a reasonable police officer, in that split second moment, given what he could see and what he had to process, did he rightfully believe he was facing an imminent risk of death or serious bodily harm. And in fact, imminent does not mean inevitable, it means immediate, It means unfolding. He had a split second to save his life and maybe others

people's lives, and he fired his weapon. And I actually, having tried some of these cases, actual contact itself is not required. The law does not demand that officer Ross absorb a serious injury before responding. It does require him to wait until a bump. It does not make him wait until a bumper or a tire or a wheel rolls over his foot, putting him under the vehicle. And ten is largely irrelevant in those moments because it cannot

be known. Officers are trained to assess facts and circumstances, and that then his training kicked in quickly. And so as a consequence, is a woman dead because she caused it to take place. She caused it to occur, and not police officer Ross. I know many have said, well, can city officials, can county or state officials go after Officer Ross for criminal charges? And the answer, by the way, is no, they cannot. The liability of a federal officer

And when I was in federal court. I tried one or two of these cases, and a federal official and the performance of his duties cannot be tried in a state court. That's the law. Federal officials have immunity from state criminal laws derived from carrying out their official duties and are protected by the Supreme Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution. There's a threshold issue, and this is what the issue is. Was the federal official and this case

Officer Ross. Was he in the performance of his duties at the time he fired his weapon? Was he wearing the uniform of a federal agency? Was he using a firearm given to him by a federal agency? The answer is all those questions is yes, he is immune. The case law begins back to in the n Ray Nagel case of eighteen ninety, when a federal marshal killed a California man eighteen ninety in defense of a Supreme Court justice.

His name was Field. The man previously had made violent threats against Justice Field, and Nagel was designed to protect him, and so he found himself into a situation where he thought he was in a position where the assailant was about to kill a Supreme Court Justice, you know what he did. He fired his weapon and he killed the sailing.

At that point, the Stay Out of California disagreed and they wanted to criminally prosecute the US Marshal, and the US Supreme Court said, you can't do that now, Bob nah not going to happen. And so yes, Officer Ross has complete unbridled immunity from state prosecutions. Now, one might talk about forty two USC. Nineteen eighty three, could to be acclaimed for civil damages? Of course the answer would

be yes, but in all probability that would fail. Also, this is a federal issue, and the Feds will determine what to do and when to do it. It will not be determined by Governor Waltz, and that's why they're angry. Would you trust them? Would you trust the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry or Jim Waltz to make a fair, independent decision. The answer is no. So whether whatever standard you want to use. Sadly, Officer Jonathan Ross, who suffered an injury,

is free of criminal prosecution. It's quite unlikely the Feds are going to prosecute him. So I want to set up tonight's Big show because so much is going on. I mentioned that you're palell situation. A federal criminal investigation may launch against him at some point in the very near future, and if that launches, then all hell is

going to break loose again. We have guests coming up from Jeff crue Air to Maya Cook, to Joshua Philip and others, and Curtis how to talk about the various standards because I look around the world right now, it's like a roar shock test. I see a sanctuary city acting illegally and regularly impeding and encouraging the disregard of

federal law. And I watched city and state officials all over the country from blue cities and blue states, except one saying the police officers should be criminally charged he committed a murder which he did not commit. It was a rightful self defense because he saw himself. The reasonable police officer in that situation would have done exactly what Jonathan had done on the morning of last Wednesday. So

let's continue with more. But remember there are more Americans killed every year with vehicles, about fifty thousand, as opposed to guns and training and in courtrooms, drivers are in possession of a deadly weapon, and when that deadly weapon comes in contact with the body of a law enforcement official,

that official certainly is justified in stopping the threat. And whether or not Ross should have walked around the other way, whether he could have quickly walked across the front, he thought his fellow officers needed assistance and getting her out of the car because she was being detained and about to be arrested. He wanted to help his fellow officers. That's why he walked to the front of the car.

And she was the one that decided to avoid the detainment, avoid the arrest, to back up, then to go forward looking straight forward, because the bullet entered the front of her front of her head, which means it was fired from the front of the vehicle, which means she was looking at the officer when she gunned it. And sadly, she made some terrible decisions that cost her her life. All less continue with more. We're going to play later

with your permission. Mentioned the chief of police, the superintendent in the city of Chicago that largely supports everything I'm saying. I didn't think this would come out of the City of Chicago, but it has So let's continue with more Bill cunning in the Great American, with you and all great Americans every Sunday.

Court cases. But there is one voice crying, not in the wilderness, but in the city of Chicago, and that man is Chief of Police, as Superintendent Larry Snelling. And Larry Snelling made a comment the other day about what should happen when the police, a police officer is confronted by a person in a vehicle who's trying to run him down, run him over. And these are the comments of Chief of Police, Superintendent Larry Snelling. I'm not sure Brandon Johnson and Chicago wants to hear it. But here's

the truth. From the chief of Police Larry Snelling, an African American chief of police who's been in the force in Chicago for more than thirty years. Danny boy Gleeson hit it.

I have a guest upcoming later to talk about the shockwave, shock and all, a sonic boom that somehow disabled hundreds of Venezuelan soldiers and some of those comments made by the soldiers are truly unbelievable. And of course Jeff crue Air Headquarter, New Orleans goes through hell down there with all the Democrats all around him. He's got to call him up at town hall dot com called Mexico America's next front on the Naco War is Mexico fentanyl friendly cartels.

Be careful, be careful if your name is Shinebomb somewhere in Mexico City. And once again, Jeff Crueir, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. But let's talk briefly about what I just mentioned about. How did twenty soldiers take down hundreds of Venezuelan soldiers on a military base guarding Nicholas Maduro. How could that happen?

against our military. So I just think we're light years ahead of most of these countries as far as our technology. The only country that I could imagine be anywhere close to us would be China, and that's because they've stolen so much of our technology.

on drugs until now. Explain your column about Mexico. Why you think the next one up is prow of a se bomb in Mexico City.

Mexico via China where they send the precursor chemicals. It's made in Mexico transported into the US, and it has become, you know, the major killer of Americans now for quite a while. And Mexico is the focus of all that. They've got massive drug cartels that are extremely powerful. Their government and the President has said it is totally afraid of these cartels. Their government is run by these cartels. These local police, any of them to try to go

up against the cartels. You hear about all these political leaders.

definitely take on the cartels and destroy the cartel. So that's why I think the president's contemplating action on land in Mexico. He said it the other day. Yeah.

It tends to be coca, tends to be cocaine or heroin. But what do we do if Claudia Scheinbaum, for domestic purposes, does not want to avail herself of assistant. Do we do it without her consent? Do we go after the cartooners much like we go after al Qaeda without the government's home consent?

damage their operations tremendously and set them back. And we're never going to get the cooperation of the Mexican government because they're too embedded and they're frightened, and it's going to have to be something that President Trump authorizes on his own, and I think he will. I don't think he feels impeded by the Mexican president shin Bomb. He called her a nice lady, said that she was pleasant,

but he admits that she's fearful of the cartels. Our military is not fearful of them, and niver As President Trump.

the best, but Fidel Castro has ruined the country. He's a Democratic socialist, just like Mom Donnie is a democratic socialist. They're all democratic socialists. And if we go after El Cotta type operations that kill Americans, then number one is fentanyl. The number two would be Mexico, and whether she cooperates or not, you can imagine and what CNN would do if Trump used these shockwave weapons in Mexico without the

permission of Claudia Scheinbaum. I'm not sure Jake Peper would like that at all.

now fulfilling the Monroe doctrine, the Donroe doctrine. Phil and I think this makes sense to me. This is in our neighborhood. This is our next four neighbor Mexico. This is a neighbor that has not been a good neighbor. They've been allowing in all these illegals, allowing in all this drug all these drugs. So we need to take action to safeguard our people. And I think this is something that will be done eventually.

with the unfortunate death of Renee Good. But this has this been a godsend for the governor the and for the mayor of Minneapolis because this is off the front page. Is it good for Jeffrey Epstein? He's now done? The Russian collusion, delusion is done, Hands up, don't shoot. That's done. And so what does it do to the Somali fraud issue.

As you say, billions of dollars. There's no doubt he knew about it. There's no doubt they did nothing about it. And they didn't for political reasons. Obviously, this is a constituency for these Democrat politicians and they don't want to take on, you know, the massive fraud that has been going on. Thank goodness, a guy named Nick Shirley, a little twenty three year old kid, went in there and exposed it all did the job. The mainstream news media, the watchdogs didn't do bill.

That's why they're going to embrace it. And they're going to act as if any cries against Somali fraud is similar to racism. You can't talk about that.

go after the fraud. I applaud the Treasury Secretary. It's got that sent for now, saying hey, if you're on welfare, you know you can't be sending money overseas because a lot of the Somalis in Minnesota, we're sending money back to Somalia and guess what it was going into terrorist organizations. So we were funding terror groups back in Somalia. So all that's hopefully coming to an end.

tip of the iceberg. There's so many more underneath that. And when Scott Bessett said, if you're on welfare, you got to check a box on an overseas transfer, We're going to run your name, your identifier through a database and if you're getting any federal benefits at all, we're going to arrest you. That'll stop that fraud.

and they're going to oppose anything the president does. So I think this is an issue that's got nationwide implications and could possibly be an issue Republicans could use in the twenty twenty six minth Terms bill.

he can follow the motion. Can you imagine the mainstream media if in fact all those individ jos are indicted. Can you imagine that they'll go crazy?

about seventy five Trump officials. We think about Donald Trump's indictment, but below that were dozens of others, his chief of staff and his National security advisor, etc. Because Obama changed the intelligence and ordered it to be done untethered the reality.

The reality was there was no Russian collusion delusion, and after Trump was elected in twenty sixteen, there was a big Powell to summer of the eight twenty sixteen in the White House in which Obama ordered the intelligence falsely be changed to serve as the basis for more investigations. And that was illegal. That's called sedition, right, and it would be amazing many times. I'm waiting for some Democrat to have handcuffs put on them.

that was focused on him. So for his take and so many others, I'd like to see justice.

coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And we'll continue to follow the attack on Mexico.

I certainly would think so. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with you every Sunday night, My Bully Cunningham, the Great American. Imagine Mexico is next to maybe Greenland, maybe Cuba. God knows, and I pray to God that this turns out well for our great country. I know, I know one thing that this thing in Minneapolis cannot metastasize to every blue city and every blue state. Federal law applies in Los Angeles, it applies in Chicago, it applies in Cincinnati, it applies everywhere.

Reminds me of what was happening in the eighteen thirties, forties, and fifties. There is resistance in the South to the federal government. It kinded to me smacks of Senator John C. Calhoun style anti bellum nullification, that is, telling the Feds don't operate in our city, don't operate in our state. Federal law does not apply here. Who in the hell do they think they are? The result is crass lawlessness, mafia style shakedown artistry, and a neo Confederate stench combined

in one package. In the state of Minnesota, in the city of Minneapolis, federal law has got to apply everywhere. In New York City, or in Cincinnati, or in Austin, Texas, federal law applies in those states. And when elected leaders say constantly federal law doesn't apply where sanctuary city sanctuary state and tell its citizens to impede and harass federal officials in the performance of their duty. Now, those are serious felonies, and it must stop. They will not voluntarily stop,

so they must be stopped. That Renee Good gave her life because she listened to the plaintive cry of liberal Democrats and others who say she was a social justice warrior when she committed numerous felonies and she paid for her ignorance with her life, which is very sad. Now I do not applaud whatsoever the fact that a woman, a mother of three, is dead. But she's dead because of her behavior. And she would have got out of the car when the officers walked up used the F

bomb as they get out of the car. We've had enough, And she simply locked the doors of the car, would not let her wife come in the other side, went backwards, then forwards, knowing the officer was there, but she looked and saw him there, So her behavior caused her own death. Let's continue with more. The Somali thing is the predicate for so much of this. Coming in next as MAYA Cook, she's a Fox News contributor about what's happening in Ohio,

Minnesota and many other states. The line becomes available eight six six six four seven seven three three seven Goll Cunningham with you, every ye say to.

medicaid fraud, transportation fraud, foods and fraud. But maheck Cook, first of all, can you tell the American people what is happening? What is your investigation shown so far in the Columbus area and the great state of Ohio.

I am Indian and not white. It has nothing to do with the fact that anybody can walk through a door and ask simple questions. But I think they have a real problem. They think, for some reason they're going to scare me with the racist word, but they can't because I'm not white. And this is what they the whole community has continued to say, you're not white. This is not a white or black issue. This is they

are you committing fraud or not issue? And so that has been insanely disturbing to me that you can't answer simple questions. And then on the daycare front, I mean, I'll be honest, we're not.

don't have children. There's only two that have allowed me to come in and ask basic questions, and only one of them has actually been able to give me an application for a child and tell me how much it costs. So when you ask questions about attendance, I also learned that you can basically forget to sign in your child. According to the State of Ohio, we have the best system, but you can forget to sign in your child and

they can retroactively sign in children. So suddenly I have questions about attendance.

of Minnesota simply back off completely. In fact, Keith Ellison, I watch it so you don't have to on MS now and he was talking about, yes, there is some fraud, however it's being handled internally. There have been numerous convictions, dozens of convictions for fraud, twenty five percent being of Somali origin. But how does the healthcare scandal work? And not just in Ohio, guess in every state? How does one sign up to care for an aging parent and have the government pay you?

aches and pains. The providers pushed back and said, your mother doesn't qualify. Well, then I go and find another doctor who's willing to There's several doctors in town that have now been identified as part of this alleged fraud.

them are allegedly getting kickbacks for helping. Some of these individuals are going door to door to recruit more individuals, and the services are not being provided because many of these people really don't need home health care services.

our audit system because there's loopholes. We need to get in a room with US attorneys and the DJ to talk about all the problems with our legislature, all the problems with the Department of Youth Services and come up with a plan, a better audit, a better checklist. The fact that people are saying in government, there's nothing to see here is a red flag to me because they are not doing their job. They're just pushing paperwork back and forth. Paperwork doesn't tell you first fraud. You actually

have to use your eyes and ears. That's what I want from state off beholders today to actually take this seriously and to change the system.

to have done that. And is that another area ripe with fraud? To say, some patient has an appointment with a doctor who's on the take, you take them from your home to the doctor and doctor and back and do that repeatedly. Is that also ripe with fraud? The medical the medicaid transportation system, with all these ambulances, so to speak, that don't exist.

so called republican state having similar problem. Since you live here, are you particularly concerned that if the state government is saying, well, fraud is the cost of doing business, that's a problem.

cost of fraud is exponential. And I have to ask any person listening today, when you get a thirty dollars charge on your whether it's Chase Bank or any bank you use, and it's not your charge, I guarantee you ninety eighty percent of the audience called the bank to

say this wasn't my charge. So imagine if it's millions of dollars, you don't think the government has a duty to protect us, because if they're rolling up their sleeves and saying our hands are clean, I have a huge issue with that because they're then complicit by giving our tax dollars and not protecting us.

State of Ohio or are you not? And if you're allowing people to change attendance records, that's another red flag. So again there's loopholes, and you can't just strictly stay based on attendance. We know that they're doing everything they should be doing. That's like a cover up of your audit system. Why not ask the question why are people changing the numbers.

are simply part of a system. They may be in their own minds there think they came from a war ravaged country where most Somalis at home live in garbage dumps, and they come here and all of a sudden, they may think themselves, this is like part of the deal, this is what living in America is that I get paid. And so I like to think there's some innocence on the behalf of individual Somalis, for example, because they don't

know what they're doing. Do you have some empathy for individuals who think this is the way we operate.

I can have empathy but still ask questions. And the one thing that raised a red flag to me is she said that every parent that comes in with their child checks in. I saw a parent walk in and they didn't check in their child. Now is she going to go back and audit that and add a child checked in? I mean, this is where there's a problem with the States system. They think it's so strong. I don't I challenge that. And I'd like to have them sit down with the US Attorney's office and go through all of.

Ohio that was prosecuted for Medicaid fraud. His name is Akbar d'had Osman. And according to Health and Human Services that the actual ambassador from Somalia who as at the United Nations is linked to a fraud in Cincinnati, Ohio. And I would ask, well, I live here. Why isn't that a bigger story? When the UN ambassador is part of the fraud from Somalia, isn't that a big story?

friends and there was nobody there. Lights out, And we have questions about what they did with the fourteen million dollars they received in the state of Ohio in twenty twenty five. Nobody's answering our questions. But at some point we have to get reporters and real journalists who want the truth to ask these questions and stop fearing the loudest critics because the loudest critics definitely have something to hide, and race baiting is no longer acceptable. I mean, look

at what sham Bondi did. She didn't care what anybody looked like. She is indicting in Minnesota. We have to do the same thing here. If there's fraud, deal with a conduct and not color. There's TSA agents in Minneapolis who testified that they had suitcases filled with American cash one hundred dollars bills going to Somalia. We also have circumstances where in Minnesota the daycare providers who are Somali's gave to the state Democratic Party in Minnesota twenty four

million dollars. Not too many daycare providers that are legitimate are spending off that kind of money. It's a protection racket operated by the Democratic Party to keep them in power. Maya Cook, we have to run what is your website? How to those who want to be whistleblowers get a hold of you. Anybody can email me at cookfro Ohio at gmail dot com. It's Cook with an E.

and all great Americans every Sunday Night. By Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Of course, the last several days has been incredible when it comes to international relations and also what's happening, whether it's Minneapolis or Portland or Somalia and the fraud there, but also Venezuela. A few days ago, the new leaders of Venezuela released certain political prisoners. And now every time I see a Democratic senator of being interviewed,

it's a terrible disaster to take over Maduro. When of course Biden was in power, it was a great idea to get rid of a macduro. Now they're questioning it, but I can't imagine a more successful takeover of a government. And more, shall I say, the arrest of someone involved in massive drug trafficking. That what the Delta team performed several days ago. Jonah, you and I now is Joshua

Phillip of Epic TV. He's a great award winning journalist and senior investigative reporter, and he laid out in his column and also an Epic TV the headlines Venezuela is an Iceberg. What lies beneath oil, cocaine, communism, corruption, terrorism and power. And once again, Joshua Phillip, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show, and just give me the overview from

your perspectives. Happened in Venezuela. How good it is in every aspect of American foreign relations, and where we go from here, Joshua Philip, give me a full report.

Hezbola and Hamas have huge influence there. He was giving visas to them. They were giving visas to them so they could travel freely all through the region. He was using diplomatic planes and passes to traffic drugs into Mexico. According to the criminal complaint, he was also it was technically the guy before m Hugo Chap has pushed the United States out of most of Latin America, working together

for Delcaster in Cuba. They established many multi governmental organizations throughout Latin America that rejected the United States, pushed out of the United States, and then brought in Chinese and Russian influence. So while they were saying get the gring goes out, they signed over four hundred deals with the Chinese Communist Party, over two hundred deals of the Russians,

and they imported them. And then they created organizations and programs all throughout Latin America to make everybody else do the same thing. And so now that Trump is trying to restore them in road doctrine or they were hesails of the don road doctrine now where they don't want to have, you know, foreign influence. You know, if you're in Europe or China, you don't belong in Latin America.

They want to push this out because there's been a big political game and basically China, especially with the Beltman Roads initiative, it's it's major infrastructure investment programs, which which work on debt traps, so countries become effectively slaves to them. They have to send them that for resources like Venezuela and oil, which they were doing. For example, Venezuela was that was the pilot program. Venezuela is a testing ground for that, and I call that all goes back to

Hugo Javas. So if you're going to get rid of that entire network, if you're going to get rid of the CCP infiltrate in the region, corrupting the region, feeding even the cartels in drug trade, which they are, you need to get rid of Maduro because MCDUA was handpicked by Javas and Maduro basically carried the torch of both Javas and Fidel Castrum.

believe it or not of Hesbela in South America. There was Iranian connections, there was Hesbla connections, there were Chinese Communist Party connections, there were Russian connections, Iranian connections, and at this point it appears the Venezuelan people now have a chance to recover after I don't know, twenty five years of democratic socialist rule like which is coming to New York City with Mamdani and so long term. This is brilliant. And because it's so brilliant, the crist on

the left is awful. And just on the issue of oil, I had on an expert earlier and the other day Jason Icy who talked about oil reserves, which is a factor. But mainly it's freeing the Venezuelan peace people from the boot of democratic socialism. It's kicking out of South America. I call it the Donroe doctrine. The Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians kicking them out and maybe in five to ten years from now, Venezuela could be the most prosperous

country again in South America, which it was. I saw this report in the Wall Street Journal that in nineteen fifty, Venezuela was the fourth most powerful country in the world economically, right behind the United States, Switzerland, New Zealand. Number four was Venezuela. The potential is incredible. And why going back to twenty five years, why has Venezuela, why did it become critical to Iran's operations in Western Hemisphere and also China and Russia. Why was it so critical at that point?

Mainly that was the basis of the Cuban Missile crisis. We blocked them from bringing nuclear missiles to Cuba. And again, basically Chavez was the guy who overthrew, overthrew all that. And not only that, but again it wasn't about and this was the argument. They're like, well, America invaded Venezuela. People there, including the opposition, we were saying no Venezuela was already invaded. You had the studio, you had the Chinese controlling most of the natural reion that most, but

a lot of the natural resources. You have the Chinese build and gain control of the critical infrastructure, you know, basically control in the country. The Chinese Communist Party, through the Belt of Road initiative, gets countries make bad deals, oftentimes bribing off the official because they know it's a bad deal, they default on it. When they default on it, they have to give them instead of paying interest on a loan, you have to give them, you know, tons

of oil. You have to give them critical minerals. You have to give them timber, you have to give them natural like via ore. And they do this country by country, region by region and effectively turn them into vassal states. The CCP was taking over Latin America and to a

large extent already has. And what is the condition now of Trump going in there for the if the new leadership wants to be able to get rid of the distinctions and oil, what's the condition the condition is you have they have to push out Russia, they had to push out China, that to push out Cuba, and that to push out Iran. And as you mentioned, Iran has a lot of influencer not even not even just in Venezuela.

Iran is extremely influential throughout Latin America. They have they have literal Hesbela political parties in some countries, for example, in Peru they they have a Hesibla political parties. Hesbela even works with the cartels. I had very good information many years ago that they were even working with the Mexican cartels. They were teaching them i eds, how to build, how to build you know, improvised explosive devices, and they were also teaching them how to do some of the

tunnel building for drug trafficking. At a lot of that was was through Hesbela. And so American national security has been massively undermined by these organizations that have infiltrated the entire region, that are poisoning Americans, killing more Americans every single year than were killed in the entire Vietnam War.

And let that sink in working together laudering the money through Chinese banks being provided with it by China, precursor chemicals like even for methan, fetamine and synthetic drugs extensional and of course also running the ports that this was a giant game and they were all in on it. In America, we were the big fools trying to pretend that it's just the gang's doing it, and that was

never the case. This was an intergovernmental policy mental wage, unconventional war against the United States while undermining US, while turning all the governments against US. And that was the legacy of Javas. But Maduro inherited that.

Is the same Maduro crowd in charge of Venezuela today as they were a week ago. That's an argument of the radical left that really nothing's changed in Venezuela.

It's the cartel of the Sons. The generals, the other leaders are designated terrorists by the United States because they're also tied in with the Cartel of the Sons. Every one of those guys has a little ticking time or hanging over his head. And so we'll have to see what Trump does. They have not acted that strongly against them yet, but I think they will, and I think they need to. They don't seem to be very concerned

about it either. Let's put it that way. Trump's meeting with the leader of the Columbia soon, Petro, and that will also eliminate a lot of the guerrilla forces. So the whole thing is the whole thing is shifting. You have these guys basically dancing around and putting on a show, but they don't have any power anymore. It's game over already.

the Trump adminstration is saying. Also, they're saying we can do nothing. We could sit back and do nothing and they will fall on their own. Why is that This actually goes into one of the reasons why Hugo Javes worked so closely with thedel Castro. Basically, this was all post post Cold War policies. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Cuban regime was basically being propped up

by the Soviets. The Soviet Union collapsed, the money dried up, the support dried up, and they needed an economy they didn't have one, and so they actually they actually made a deal with Venezuela at the time. Again that was Javas and Venezuelan oil, Venezuelan trade, Venezuelan exchange is what kept Cuba going. Cuba militarily is not very strong, Cuebe economically is not very strong. But in Latin America, Cuba in terms of intelligence, infiltration and that type of stuff

is extremely strong. They actually are some of the major hands behind the cartels in drug trade, working together with China on that. By the way, they also Cuba they actually have a lot of governmental influence. Accusations that many government officials are working as pseudo Cuban agents, Accusations in Brazil, for example, the Cuban agents have taken over a lot of their military accusations in Venezuela. Actually, so they were

controlling the politicians. And what happens when Delta Force goes in there. They killed what like more than two dozen Cuban agents around Maduro. How did that happen? So the jig is up? You know again, this is game over for Cuba right now.

And if I'm sitting in Claudia Shinbaum in Mexico, if I'm sitting some other government and I'm thinking, what impact about minute remaining? Joshua Philip of Epic TV Minute remaining. What are the reverberations around the evil parts of the world. Is that what Donald Trump and America's military can do. What's the fallout, in.

its supports. They can barely even deal with Ukraine. And they need North Koreans fighting the war because the guys have died so much. They have no power anymore. China can be destroyed in the day economically with with tariffs. Trump knows that they know it. They're not going to do anything, and so what you're watching is literal shock and don In fact, the Chinese delegation was there when they abducted Maduro. They probably they probably did it right in front of them.

President to work things out one way or another. What's happening in Iran is incredible, It's unbelievable. I pray for the Iranian people and the five hundred or so that have been murdered. I look at the situation in Ukraine. That continues. We've had on guests before, like Jeff Krua talked about Mexico being Mexico and that wherever we find El Kada, we kill El Qaeda because they're a national

terrorist group. And the President has now designated the narco traffickers, the Cineloa, drug cards, hell, etc. Is the same kind of a terrorist. That means the President under this executive order can eradicate them wherever they can be located. That means, are we going to have the special sonic boom weapons used in Venezuela use it against the drug traffickers in Mexico. Will Claudia Shanbaum come to the White House and say, we can't live like this anymore? According to the President,

Mexico is owned by the drug cartels. Al Qaeda has killed far less people than Mexicans indirectly have allowed to be killed because they're the transit point over which the drugs, the precursors come from China get into Mexico and the drug cartels use them to kill something like one hundred thousand Americans every year. And Claudia Shanbaum, the President of Mexico, says that's no big deal. We're not going to let

you interact whatsoever in Mexico. I hope she'll look at what happened in Venezuela and understand that this president is conducting a real war on drugs, and that war on drugs, according to Jeff Crueir earlier tonight, may involve attacks inside Mexico. Haven't been designated as a terrorist group. Is Cinela at drug cartel, etc. Continue with more, Curtis House. A lot of stuff up on NewsBusters dot Org. But the media coverage of what's happening in Somaliland, what's happening in Minnesota

and more. And these always the best Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday.

that garbage coming out the other. And so he's written a column at NewsBusters dot org about ABCNBCCBS, also NPR and Curtis once again, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Curtis, may I recite to you a few of the headlines I've noted that is similar to what you have done, but I think it's going to provide some insight. Are you ready for a couple of great headlines that tell objectively what happened in Minneapolis? Are you prepared?

observer is gunned down by ice. She was a loving mother of three, She had a social conscience and ABC reports quote she was made of sunshine, said her wife, Becca Good. Now, if somebody would have watched the news media coverage the last four or five days, what are their visions of number one of miss Good and secondly of the police officer. Give me a full report.

serious flag for that? And I have the statue available here federally about what happens, what you're supposed to do when you confront a police official, and what the police official is going to do. And so to add on what you said the ICE official in question, two of them exited their vehicle, approached Good's marine maroon two ton. I looked up the weight by the way, Curtis, it's founds which she used to block the road deliberately, and so we've seen I guess you've seen the videos of

her earlier that morning. The event took place about nine to forty five am. Earlier that morning, she had spent about an hour or two obstructing and impeding federal investigations, and in doing so, she committed several felonies. In fact, her car was perpendicular or vertical in the roadway, and so what she was doing was impeding ice officials and the performance of their law enforcement functions, which, by the way,

is a felony. And at the time those two officers went up to her car, which was illegally blocking the roadway, impeding ice officials, they said they used the F bomb as they get out of the car. At that point she was at least detained and maybe under arrest, and so her wife walked around the back of the car, as did the police officer who later would fire the shot.

And at that point, the police officer, I believe, based upon what Christy Gnomes said this morning in some interview, she was on the officer was on the shall we say, the passenger side of the vehicle, and at that point, because he needed to help his officers get Good out of the car. What he did then was walk around the front of the car, which was the direction that

he was heading. And at that point, when he got to the front left headlighted is when the car alurts backwards and then it lurts forwards, and at that point he fired the fatal shot. And at that point, And the media doesn't get into much of that, do they whatsoever. And it's also worth noting the ICE agent and the ICE agent involved in this, I'm reluctant to use his name, but it's everywhere is now under supposedly a thread of

state criminal charges. I'll get into that bit later, but that kind of a situation Curtis Hawk indicates to me, at least as a lawyer, that he was justified in shooting and Good is the one that put her in that circumstances. Give us some ABC News stories on this which didn't give us a whole bunch of shall we say background.

the shooting. They had this woman on, this never Trumper who served for the president the first time and then just became a deranged lunatic. She's part of the kind of never Trump Jesus was a Democrat crowd.

And for the video on Friday from the officer to come out and folks to roundly dismiss it like they did on ABC and CNN, MS NOW on the like is just pathetic Because I thought Bill when it comes to the news business, you want as much information as possible. But we've long learned the press are not interested in certain facts because if it goes against their counternared that they will suppress it or pretend it doesn't exist.

You get behind the vehicle, especially of a Honda Pilot in suv like hers, you could be dead real fast.

was in the right now. Secondly, when all this began, the radical left was talking about, well, you know, the car never touched him, But when the videos came out, at least two I've seen demonstrates he was hit by that vehicle. And Thirdly, Christy Nomans said he went to the hospital and was treated for injuries. And I would imagine at the hospital there's going to be evidence of the car striking his trouser and also evidence on his

left leg that he was hit. And an officer does not have to wait in order to be hit to far his weapon. If he perceives a risk to himself for others, he has a duty to discharge his firearm, and that's what he did in most of CNN's interview. I watched this morning a lot of the replay of the interview with Jake Tapper and Christy Noan basically attacking her. And then he also head up next to Mayor Jacob of the mayor of Minneapolis and the governor, and he

gave them softball questions. There's no question that if he was struck by that car, it was a deadly situation that demanded that he respond. And one other thing I'd

point out, Curtisock before we go on to NBC. You're giving props to NBC A little bit about the Somali fraud, which is the mainstream media's ignoring, is that the bullet, the so called deadly shot, was head on that as she was looking at police officer Jonathan Ross, when he fired his weapon and hit her one time in the head, and that was strictly about a foot above the bottom of the windshield, about four inches to the left, and that was the deadly shot. So she was looking at

him when she was shot. That demonstrates to me that she had knowledge about what she was doing. She may have tried to turn a little bit to the right, but she did strike the police officer. And when you strike a cop, I'm going to play later. I played earlier kind of the comments of the police chief of Chicago. His name is Larry Snelling, and I put it on my ex account that when that happens, an officer as a duty to respond to protect himself and others talk

about NBC a little bit. You'll give some good props to NBC. Please explain that.

and so Molly fraud. You go to these daycares like Nick Shirley did, and there's no kids there, and you're like, well, there could be kids there, but it doesn't.

the opposite of what the perceptive narrative was. You can't put the toothpaste back of the tooth in.

stupid idea was to remove Maduro. Then I watched it was either on NewsBusters, your Side or others that played all the comments of the Democrats for years who said Maduro must go. But now that he's gone, the media once in back and right now it was a mistake.

That was the most brilliant military operation maybe in the history of the world, to have maybe twenty to forty Delta soldiers go in there and remove Maduro, to use some sort of sonic wave, and to have turn off all the lights, and to kill individuals as quickly as they did who were trying to protect this guy. So

they have to come up with something else. Forget about Epstein, forget about the Russian collusion delusion, forget about hands up, don't shoot, forgot about all the crap we can beat up Trump on the issue of Christy Nome and whether this mother of three, who was a poet and a guitarist should have been killed by an officer. Put yourself in his shoes, the average officer, reasonable officer, I have done exactly what Jonathan Ross did, which was to protect himself. Would you agree.

I can hurt all sorts of insults. Well, I'm not in their position, so no, no, no, that's that's the point. That's the point to show how to talk about how difficult it is to be in law enforcement.

so they can do what they want to do. And they want to have their sanctuary cities and the sanctuary states, which attract the worst kinds of gang bangers from all over the world because they know they're protected. And the fact that Donald Trump is not backing down, I think is a good thing. But the media doesn't like it whatsoever.

Curtis Hock, we have to run, but the headline is mother of three killed by ice much like hands up, don't shoot at some point, and I don't want to diminish the idea that Rene Good should not be dead. But she's dead because of her behavior and what he put the officer in. And the officer, Jonathan Roscoe, will go through hell for years to come. But once again, exactly right, he's going to go through hell. You know, I have the liability of a federal officer under state

law criminally is almost non existent. But whether he sued, whether a new administration comes in down the road and then decides to indict him, his poor CoP's going to go through a lot, and he was put in that position because of the wrongful behavior of Rene Good. Curtis Hawk, you're a great American. Thanks coming into the Bill Cunningham Show.

in Minnesota. Minneapolis is incredible. It's unbelievable. Somali refugees who came here seeking a better life have been led by those who loot the treasury for their personal benefit and also benefits greatly. Believe it or not, El El Qaeda

and other terrorist groups. I've seen Senator Kennedy and others talk about the incapability we have to stop these money transfers, and thank god that Secretary Commerce, Scott Pisset has now begun under an executive order, will stop transfers overseas through individuals that are on welfare or food stamps or suffering from autism. Are those who daycare centers? Think about that. Normally this welfare benefits go to people in need and if they can, if they can fly off them funds

to Somali land. At seventy five percent of what they receive goes to the Horn of Africa. Something is seriously wrong. Would you agree? Seriously wrong? So Scott Bissett is going to stop the international transfer of our money the international drug cartels. If one is on public assistance, five one C three's ngngos have marginalized the ability of Americans to help the needy, and they're hurting many individuals right now

they were intended to help. And so if somehow we can stop the flow of billions of our dollars to terrorist groups, why would we not do it? I certainly hope we do. Let's continue with more. One other aspect of this is it appears liberals in Washington have told some of these NGOs to some of these liberal white females, and may be time to become armed. That was said by one of the officers that was injured in the

January sixth riot. Is time for this so called NGOs and for the protesters to become armed, and that would be sick. So coming up next is the Great John Lite Bill Cunningham, the great American with you and all great Americans every Sunday night, the Great John Lott Lott. John Lott worked for years in the Trump administration in the first term. He's an expert researcher when it comes to guns and violence, more guns, less crime, and author He's done many things, great degrees from many of the

great universities. And I noticed in the New York post back, there was a big headline new data reveals the horrific truth about illegal immigrant crime and John Lott, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, John, what I hear from the radical left, from CNN, MS NOW so many others is that immigrant crime immigrants commit fewer crimes than American citizens, and therefore they should be

welcome because there's such a benefit. We've had on guests before, May Cook and many others Ken Blackwell et cetera talking about the amount of illegal activities involving welfare, whether it's daycare, autism, medicaid, foods and fraud, home health fraud. It's massive. But one thing that is a predicate of inviting into our country more citizens from third world countries is the fact they

don't commit crime. Can you tell the American people what are the facts about aliens, illegal aliens or immigrants committing crime relative to native born Americans. Give us a full report.

fifty thousand people total there, that's fourteen percent. And you can compare that then to the share of the population that illegals reportedly have in New York. The highest estimate from Pew comes from Pew when they say it's about four percent. So you compare that fourteen percent to the four percent that they make up in the general population, they're way over represented. And the problem is that four

percent is very clearly an underestimate for many reasons. One reason is New York as a sanctuary state, is not assisting ICE and identifying who might be an illegal who's incarcerated in the state. There also, as you may know, ice will go and stay at different courthouses for when illegals are either convicted.

one place in the state. You know that you can see that that seven than one hundred could be a big underestimate. And there are other reasons we can go into too, but it's very clear, and you know, and this doesn't even take into account the almost seven thousand illegal aliens who had been convicted and served time in prison in jails who were released this last year.

sixty sexual predatory offenses. And you often talk about there's a differential between crimes committed on one hand and arrest and conviction on the other, that the arrest and conviction is a small number of the crimes committed. So explain that to the American people.

similar to them. You know, ninety percent of blacks are murdered by other blacks. Hispanics is about eighty percent are murdered by other Hispanics, for example. And if illegals tend to commit crimes against other illegals, which is pretty clearly the case, not exclusively, but if they disproportionately tend to do that, then what happens is you're going to underrepresent their share of reported crimes to police because illegals might be unwilling to go and report crimes to the police.

there were no armed teachers. There's no one around in that situation, which feeds into many things you've said, which means more guns, less crime. And so one thing that's happened in my home state of Ohio is that there are local sheriffs who have trained personnel, like in Butler County where Richard K. Jones, who are teachers vice principals principals to discreetly carry weapons to make it less likely someone's going to pick that particular school to commit an offense.

Another thing that weighs into this is sanctuary status of cities and states right now, because if you're a sanctuary city and you won't share information, like Minnesota, which is having terrible problems, and I'm glad that Governor Tim Waltz is not going to run for reelection. I fear the citizens of Minnesota would probably re elect him, and that there are many county jails and city jails that don't

share information. So instead of arresting someone with a federal criminal warrant in prison, which is protecting of both parties, they let them go and then once they get into the community, then there has to be an entire raid to arrest someone with a warrant. So what are the dangers like in the blue cities and blue states when they don't participate in the federal function of law enforcement? And the act is if the Feds or shall I say,

an invading force. In fact, this incident with a ice officials were tried to be rammed by a woman in a white pickup truck and she was shot and as a consequence, it creates havoc and turmoil, And so how much easier is it. Do you have red cities, red states that will tell the Feds this person is here, we will honor your detainer pick them up. That's safer for everyone, correct, Yeah.

And how do you keep off of police radar. You stop committing or commit fewer crimes, so you're not going to be as much of a target for the police to go after. And so you know, it's not a coincidence that we've seen what looks like, at least for the first nine months of the year as twenty percent drop in murders. And my guess is when the data comes out for all the crimes it's coming September for last year, it's going to show a big drop in

violent crimes across the board. You just to give people an idea of what we're talking about in terms of percentages. You know, we just had during the Biden administration the largest percentage increase in violent crime over any four year period time that's.

or slightly less than four per hundred thousand. That's a huge that's a huge difference from one of the lowest that we had ever previously recorded.

And let's face it, the majority of people brought in by the Biden administration I contend illegally for those four years. We're young, poorly educated, unattached males who are the formula for more crime being committed. But what are the costs in New York City and New York State to the taxpayers that are born indirectly by all of us when you start detaining thousands and thousands of illegal aliens shouldn't be here in the first place. How much money does it cost?

billion dollars a year. You know, that's a billion dollars a year the State of New York could save if they let ice take those individuals and deport them. But you know, you mentioned the data that finally came out before the election in twenty twenty four showing that nine percent of the so called non detained individuals who were at least in the country had criminal records. The problem

is that's clearly a huge underestimate. The reason is is because many of those illegals came from countries like Venezuela for example, that refused to provide information on the criminal backgrounds of those individuals. So the buy An administration just put them down. As you know, we don't know whether they had criminal backgrounds, and we know Venezuela for example, and other countries released people from prisons in jails in

order to have them come to the United States. They were not exactly people that they wanted to go and have to spend their own money on keeping in prison. So you know, there are multiple reasons for you know, the thing is, these non detained individuals were almost exclusively individuals who voluntarily turned themselves into the border. Those are not the ones that you should be most concerned about.

You know, we had about two point one million so called guidaways that came into the United States during the Biden administration. These are people that we saw coming across the border but we didn't catch, and then we have untold millions that we never even saw come across the border. And the reason is is that the Biden administration had pulled seventy six percent of the border agents off of guarding the border and instead we're using them to go

and process illegals. And also about thirty percent of the passive monitoring equipment, the cameras and other things were broken during the Buying administration and they were not fixing them. So between pulling agents off the border and having broken equipment over large parts of the border that weren't even you know, monitoring people coming across. We have no idea how many more millions, And those are the ones that

you should be most concerned about. There's a reason why they didn't turn themselves in at the border and get you know, the prepaid credit cards and get housing and get food and get you know, transportation to wherever in the country they wanted to go.

and then president influx of illegal aliens. It's almost as if one intends the logical consequences of one's behavior, which means Joe Biden, etc. Wanted to flood the country with illegals. Get them incorporated into societies largely all over the country. Give them daycare benefits, autism benefits, medical benefits, food stamp benefits, home health care benefits, get them registered to vote as

quickly as possible. Minnesota has a system where a sponsor can vouch for eight other people who are voting without an ID and that's how Democrats stayed in power. And in Minnesota, in one year, the so called daycare providers gave to the Democrats twenty three million dollars in political donations. I don't know too many daycare providers throwing off that kind of money. It was a protection racket that's finally going to be broken. We got to run John Lott

Crimeresearch dot Org. All the doubt is there crimeresearch dot Org. And once again John Lott, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show and the truth will set us all free. John Lot, thank you very much.

previous week, what's coming up the next week. And I pray to God against all hope and wishes that the political leadership in Minnesota will say that you must follow the commands of federal law enforcement. You cannot obstruct or impede federal officials and the performers of their duties. If you do so, guess what that is a federal felony that carries up to five years in jail. And all it took was for Renee Good to follow the orders of federal officials who said get out of the car.

If she would have done that, she would be alive today. And do not think you're part of some greater event than yourself. Live your life humbly, simply and allow federal law enforcement officials to enforce federal law. It is a lie that somehow sanctuary city or sanctuary state means you're exempt from the application of federal law.

And if you do so, you'll be alive today. Let the Feds do their job, Let the city do which job, Let the state do their job. Say prayer tonight for the repose of the soul of many officials or simply doing their job. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with you every Sunday night.
