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 excellence, the one and only Bill Cunningham.
Now I'm Billy Cunningham, the great American. First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all listening, and I want to thank you for making this show possible the past seventeen years. So I've been on with you Sunday Night for seventeen years since Matt Drudge and by the way, the Drudge Report has completely lost its way, that's a different story. Decided to focus on his website not so
much in talk radio. So I'm standing there with Sean Hannity at one of his events with the Great Sean Compton, and Hannity said, Willie, why don't you do it?
I said, oh, Sunday nights.
I'm only on five days a week anyway, noon to three in Cincinnati on seven hundred WLW, so why not Sunday night.
I'm not doing anything.
In fact, they live about two miles from the studio and I said, okay, I'll do it. And the rest is history because of you. And now we're up to something like five hundred and fifty stations all over the country. It's kind of a way to end one week and start another. And that's what's happening. And I want to thank you for making this show possible, and Merry Christmas to you and yours. And I want to line up
the calls early. I'm going to take more calls tonight at eight six six six four seven, seven three three seven. I want you to serve as a jury member in the matter of the United States of America versus Admiral Frank Bradley and Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, to see if on the jury, now that you know most of the facts about that Narco terrorist aboat carrying hundreds of pounds of cocaine to kill Americans, would you find Bradley and Hexseth guilty or not guilty. The Democrats, by the way,
want them guilty of murder. In fact, Representative Maxine Waters not related to Jesse Waters, by the way, said that Trump is a murderer and that Pete Hegseth is a murderer that should be tried. And don't think this is
some vain threat. Should the presidency overturn itself, God forbid in twenty eight twenty twenty eight and a Democrat takes over, I have no doubt in my mind that the impeachments will give way to indictments, and that if the Congress flips over in about a year, the Democrats are going to impeach everyone they can, starting with Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump and JD. Vance and Marco Rubio and maybe Admiral Frank Bradley. They're going to impeach everyone, and we
can't have this going to move the country forward. One of the problems in this particular republic that we have is that the policies of Donald Trump economically and otherwise will not truly be realized and felt for one to three years from now. The Big Beautiful Bill doesn't kick in till the first of January, and the tax refunds don't kick in, so you may feel as if the economy's not going well, which it is. Inflation is about three percent, but the true impact will not be known
for a while. And so if while the recovery is underway after the disasters of Joe Biden and all of a sudden in November, because of media coverage which is ninety five percent negative toward Republicans and specifically Donald Trump ninety five percent negative, if the country switches back to a king Jeffries, Speaker of the House, Katie bar the door,
we got a problem. And so the way our institution is established every two years, in a sense, a government has turned over without knowing the true impact of Donald Trump's policies. So here's the question laid upon the table. If you were on the jury and it was the United States of America versus Admiral Frank Bradley and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, would you find those gentlemen guilty of a war crime under the genie of a convention? Would you find them guilty of a murder?
I hope.
I think my listeners often think as I think. Until last Sunday night had a call from Tennessee and Nashville speaking the greatness of Afton. She was terrible and she got beat by nine percentage points. And I enjoyed debates, and so what do you think if you're on the jury, you have a thumbs up or thumbs down.
No.
Secondly, we're going to play in a few minutes. There are the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. As you know, December seventh, nineteen forty one is a date that will live an infamy because here we are, what eighty four years later, and maybe a few alive from the Pearl Harbor attack, but not many. And one thing came to mind which relates to today, and that is the Battle of Midway on the History Channel. The Battle of Midway, you may, was a great naval victory by the United
States Navy and Air Force. One of the Japanese carriers, whose name I cannot pronounced, was blown up by aerial bombardment. It was burning. The Japanese aircraft carrier was dead in the water, not able to fight or launch aircraft, full of wounded. In fact, several hundred Japanese soldiers were mortally wounded and many others had been killed. And we know what happened next. We didn't have the officers advising Halsley
what to do or what not to do. He kept throwing torpedoes into it until the ship itself, the aircraft carrier, was at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. And guess what that was lawful. The goal was to put the ship down so it could not be towed back, repaired, and put back into the fight. The goal was not to kill or all the wounded Japanese sailors on board. In fact, there were some who were rescued and putting encampments until the war was over, but the great majority
were killed. And so this shows that sinking a disabled enemy vessel, even one caring wounded personnel, has been a standard naval practice for one hundred years and fully consistent with the law of armed conflict in the sea. And so simply that's the law. That the goal was not
to kill or murder those two surviving Narco terrorists. The boat itself was still flowing voting, and the goal was to put the boat at the bottom of the Caribbean c which this second strike did indirectly in an ancillary way. The two Narco terrorists were killed, they were not murdered. There's no malice involved. And so I hope we understand that the words of Jim Hines, Connecticut liberal Democrat, called the video quote one of the most troubling things I've
seen in my time in public service. Quote unquote is a bunch of bs. Jim Hmes is a goof.
It was not one.
It wasn't troubling at all. I'll tell you what's troubling is to have Joe Biden and Obama bring into the country about three hundred and sixty thousand children, great majority of whom are using sex trafficking and simply lose track
of them. Now that's the problem right there. And according this morning on CNN with Jake Tapper that Tom Holman talked about that we've so far saved sixty two thousand children that were thrown into sex trafficking by Joe Biden and the sweatshops, and that's going to continue till all are located. This cannot be done within four years. It may take eight to twelve years for the policies to work. So, Danny boy, if you're ready, you might recall eighty four
years ago today, December seventh, nineteen forty one. These are the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, eighty four years ago today, of.
The House of representatives. Yesterday, December seventh, nineteen forty one, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and their courses of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation, and at solicitation of Japan, still in conversation with its government and its emperor, looking called.
The maintenance of peace in the Pacific.
Indeed, one hour after.
Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attacks. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was
deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope or continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives I've been lost.
That was FDR on December seventh, nineteen forty one, eighty four years ago. Today, let's continue, and I want to take some calls from jury members from what you've heard about these strikes on the cocaine boats. The Democrats, if they win power back, which God knows what happened at
some point, want to indict Admiral Frank Bradley. They want to indict Secretary of War Pete Hexth, maybe Donald Trump himself for the murder of two Narco terrorists, which is not the rule of law when it comes to marine issues. The boat and the cargo were legitimate military targets that Southcom had been in order to put to the bottom of the ocean, and the drug traffickers resulting from the
second strike were simply collateral damage. But it's like the injured Japanese soldiers and sailors on the Jack Japanese aircraft carrier at Battle of Midway. The carrier was burning dead in the water, but Admiral Halsey and others said, our goal is to put the carrier at the bottom of the ocean, and that was lawful. The goal was to put the ship down so it couldn't be towed back, repaired, and put back into the fight. The goal was not to kill the wind the Japanese sailors, and the goal
was not to kill the Narco Terrors. They happened to be on the wrong boat at the wrong time, and that's why they're dead. And so for this country to continue as a great nation, we have to have the support of the military. And in this situation, the Commander
in Chief and Admiral Frank Bradley. While there was forty one minutes that went by between the first hit and the second hit, and for those forty one minutes, Admiral Frank Bradley spend his time being counseled by a JAG officer of the Department of Defense and attorney approving what he was doing. And he did what he did, not to kill the Narco Terrors specifically, but to put the boat and the cocaine at the bottom of the Caribbean Ocean.
And God bless him, he did it. So let's continue.
The line becomes available at eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven. I have many comments to make about the affordability crisis, plus later on setting up the rest of the show. But I want you as a listener. You could be in Nebraska at one of the great stations in Nebraska. You could be in California, you could be a bunch of other locations. But ultimately you may have to decide at some point whether this
was a crime or not. And so as a member of the jury, do you have thumbs up thumbs down? Do you think that Admiral Bradley and Pete Heseth committed a crime, a war crime as the Democrats are now saying, Or did Joe Biden commit a war crime when he had drone strikes all over cobble Afghanistan as we were leaving, killing men, women and children by mistake and error. But also part of that was killing two so called terrorists. But in killing the two terrorists, they killed eight children.
Is that okay? And of course Obama was the drone commander in chief killing Americans and also launching at least five hundred strikes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran and other places. So this is what happened in Grenada. By the way, what happened in Panama is similar to what happened in what is happening now with Venezuela. Democrats and Republican presidents have done exactly the same thing. So where do we go from here? Eight sixty six six four seven seven
three three seven. As we continue, we it calls from Missouri, in Idaho and Las Vegas and Florida, Bill Cunning and the Great American with you every Sunday night at the music Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Gleies and my executive producer. One other thing the media conveniently ignores is that as the event was going on, there was a judge Advocate general next to Admiral Bradley advising him what
to do and what not to do. In fact, whenever these missions take place, there tends to be because of technology, an expert lawyer working in the Defense Defense Department telling those of pulling the trigger whether they can do it or not. And no question that this was approved by lawyers under the Geneva Convention and the rules of Engagement of the Department of Defense also known as the Department
of War. And there's no expectation that the commander went outside those rules of engagement put forth by the President, by the Geneva Convention, and by the rules of war that are followed by our War Department. Everything that Admiral Bradley said and did was relatable to legal advice as it was occurring.
I don't think.
Admiral Halsey in the Battle of Midway, as he was continuing a torpedo Japanese aircraft carrier containing hundreds of wounded Japanese sailors, no one was telling him not to do it. His mission was to put that Akua, the aircraft carrier, at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The death of those injured Japanese sailors was ancillary to the mission, and the mission of Admiral Bradley was to put at the bottom of the Caribbean those boats carrying death to America
into other ports of call. And right now there's been something like eighty five or ninety Naco terrorists killed, and that's a small number compared to how many five hundred drone strikes when Obama was in office, killing, among others, Americans. And so the media didn't seem to care a bit about the innocent men, women and children killed in Kabo, Afghanistan, after nine brave American military personnel were killed at Heaven's Gate,
Abby Gate, and simply a mistake was made. We move on and the Democrats couldn't care twit about some sixty three thousand children that had been freed by the activities of our border patrol agents. And Tom Homan, he reported this morning on one of the Morning Sunday shows a sixty three thousand out of three hundred and fifty thousand children that are missing have been freed because of Donald Trump.
Wouldn't it be interesting if sixty minutes and Leslie and others would look into that issue and talk about the failure of the Obama slash Biden administration to save the lives of children or sex traffic all around the world because of the failure of those governmental agents to stop the flow of illegals into this country.
Like to have some numbers.
In December of last year, there were approximately three hundred and sixty thousand encounters on the southern border. You know how many they were last month? The answer was zero zero. The human traffickers were collecting more than a billion dollars a month selling human flesh under Joe Biden. Did the Democrats go nuts on that one? And Caitlin Collins go nuts? Jake Tapper, anyone? No, The answer is no, not carrot,
not not at all. In fact, the scandals in Minneapolis with Governor Tim Waltz are not covered by PBS, NBC, CBS or ABC. Doesn't fit the narrative of Somali's ripping off the taxpayer for billions and billions, maybe as many as eight billion dollars. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Let's continue. I want you, as a member of the jury, to give me a guilty or not guilty, because if the Democrats take over at some point in the future, the statue of limitations for murder, it has
no limitations. And if the same crews involved, the Keem Jefferies and the Congressman Hys and others, and the Maxine Waters, they're going to seek an indictment against Admiral Bradley and maybe Donald Trump, although the Supreme Court giving him giving him quite a bit of leeway. But that's not true about Pete Hegseth that mainstream media hates because us he speaks truth to power. Pete Hegseth. I've had him on two or three times. Speaks truth to power. Let's continue
your calls. Your calls are up. Next We'll go to Missouri first, and then Las Vegas and Tampa and many Minnesota and Wyoming and Kentucky and all places in between. Guilty or not guilty, CNN says guilty. Let's say you Bill cunning and the Great American with you every Sunday night. Car Let's continue.
There's rules for thee but not for me.
When it comes to Democrats and Republicans, they can look at the same thing with different opinions based upon the same set of facts. By the way, I trust Senator Tom Cotton Arkansas is a good man. I trust Senator John Kennedy. I trust Senator Bernie Marino. Those are the guys I enjoy. Let's go to the telephone calls, as I promise, we have full lines. Want to get to it because you know and I know that the Democrats are not fearful whatsoever of using state prosecutors' offices to
indict members of the other party. That's called weaponization. They're experts at it. They've done it for years, and a metastasized under Donald Trump, and you had offices in Fulton County, New York, and Washington, d C. And South Florida going after Donald Trump and throwing a Malaney is underwear all on the floor to try to find information that later on could be used to indict him and to convict him and to send him to prison before the twenty
twenty four election. And but for the recalcitrants of Jack Frost, Jack Smith, except for the slowness in which he acted, that if he started six months earlier, Judge Chalkin in Washington, d C. Would have convicted Donald Trump and put him in federal president. So he couldn't be the president that would have elected Kamala Harris. You know what I'm saying. Where would we be now if Kamala Harris was in
the White House. So let's go to the calls if Lie becomes available eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven. And I want to thank one of my great stations in Lincoln, Nebraska, which is fourteen hundred and ninety nine three k l I N for joining the long list of great Americans. And I wish everyone in Lincoln, Nebraska. I'm merry Christmas. In a Happy New Year. Let's continue to continue now with Mark and Missouri. Mark and Missouri, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham show. Mark, how
are you? What is your verdict?
Oh, I don't look at it as guilty, You're innocent. We have a Democrat Party who is traitor's favorite president of the United States, trying to stop drugs coming in from this country to this country, but still one hundred thousand plus a year, and we have a Democrat Party now trying to accuse the military of doing wrong.
They don't care about.
The Geneva Convention. It's just an opportunity they see to go after Trump and they don't like him doing this for one reason, it makes him look good. Everything is political to them. That's why they don't want him going into the cities. That's why they're trying to create fear into the military, which is seditious, and they make them afraid.
Like you were saying, if we.
Get a Democrat president, country will survive, but they're worried about being prosecuted. Then this is evil what they are doing. And it's time for the Republicans to get backbone and tell the people who these evil Democrats are. We're trying to save one hundred thousand lives a year, and the Democrats are using some I mean, it is just unbelievable,
Like you're saying World War two. I mean, you would think they would be on the side of stopping one hundred thousand people getting killed in this country, almost twice as many as the Vietnam War, and they're not. It's time to get angry, to get on offense against these Democrats. Mean, there is no way that Adamills should have been brought up to Conress. They should have sold the Democrats of
pound sands. We're trying to save this country. We're trying to clean up the cities, and these Democrats are against it. And Republicans other than President Trump and maybe a few others that they just you know, business as usual. We are in a great grad. Like you said, Joe Biden allowed of twenty million people into this country. That is traitors right there. I mean, they wasn't even reported by the media, and it is just crazy. There's no debate
here of wrongdoing. I mean, that's it's just unbelievable.
You know, Mark, the Democrats cared a lot more about two dead Narco terrorists than twenty year old West Virginia guardsman who Sarah Beckstrom, who was shot in the back of the head by an illegal Yeah, the whole issue is Sarah Backstrom right now has kind of died off. And Andrew Wolf continues to fight for his life. But you don't see a much media coverage. Imagine the same media coverage and the murder of a guardsmen bestrom as they gave these two Narco terrorists. It was wall to
wall week after week. This happened September the second. By the way, we're now in the third month of coverage of two dead Narco terrorists clinging to a cocaine banana boat, and they get all the ink and all the coverage. But what about Sarah and what about Andrew? What do they get? At this point? They were ignored and they're forgotten. The Democrats care more about Narco terrorists than dead National guardsmen.
You know what I'm saying exactly in the media covers for them, the Meatia is just the Democrat party and they don't have any ideas to make the country better, so they play all these stupid games. They they don't care about the military, like I say, they don't care about Geneva it's just an opportunity to get Trump because he is doing good things. They don't like good things being done. They don't like a strong economy.
They want power, they want power back. They want power.
They want and on the one other story, the Fox News had this couple of nights ago, elon Omar, who from a sm refugee camp, said she married her brother. Didn't know at the time it was her brother, and she got into the country and she had a net worth five years ago over about forty five thousand dollars. Her net worth now, according to Fox News, is about twenty five million. Harry Truman said that if a politician
gets rich in office, they are compromised. They're crooks. How does elon Omar go from nothing in a Somali refugee camp to be worth twenty five million dollars? Can you explain that one to me?
It's total corruption. They brought all these Somalis in ninety eight percent of them were on welfare that we're paying to of course treatment born against that. You can't bring people into the country and give them wellcare. No and sin eight billion, like you say, maybe that much back to to you some Alio for terrorism it's as bad as it gets. But the media is not even covering.
Don't covering, do not cover a Leo Aley operation.
And by the way, and Charlotte, there was another woman killed on one at one of the transit trains, set up on fire. There was another woman set on fire in New York City. In Chicago, you have horrible incidents where gangs breaking the stores, sexually molested women who are working in the store, shutting down the stores. None of these stories fit the mainstream media narrative. We know nothing
about these events except locally. Some of them reported because nationally it doesn't fit the Democratic agenda said, they don't cover it. Mark, thanks for your call. It's continue, Earl, and I think Earl and Minnesota and then Jadie and Vegas.
Earl, how are you?
I'm alive?
Bill, Yeah, you're a smart man.
In your American heroes, you have a great show.
Thank you.
I'd say not guilty because our couple four generations of American soldiers. I served in my dad he was in the Bay Pigs of Vietnam. My grandpa was in the Battle of Balls. This time he was in the snow going towards the Prisy cabs and he went to He was the old man, he.
Was the thirty eight.
He was leading the troop of nothing.
But young guys, and they fought Ronald's tank brigade. And he talked about it in a National Correspondents interview and I got a piece of deuced paper copping with that. But I say no, because they missed the bigger picture here. Who my wife who was in the army, her dad was the navy seal.
Who's going to be the navy seal?
Has to go in where there's people, you know they're bleeding, the sharp infestive waters finning. All is hot, highly toxic, whether you breathe it in or get it on your skin. We have lost not only our people, we are all forcements and nursery spadors with the fentanyl crisis. And I say not guilty. You know my two National GUARDSS I was in the Martinsburg, West Virginia unit back when I was intween eight and six. And if I was, I
wouldn't be in there now because I'm retired. But was there are my brothers and sisters or one.
Last thing, another thing I want I want to add to what your comments everything that Admiral Bradley did and Pete Hexith did. On September the second with this banana cocaine boat was authorized by civilian and military attorneys who said there was nothing wrong with that second hit. Now the media don't want to talk about that, but it doesn't fit. But that's the truth. Look at it this way.
Since nine to eleven, it's been what about twenty four years, and nine to eleven and nine to eleven, there were three thousand Americans who were killed either in Shanksville or New York City or the Pentagon about the two nine and eighty seven to be almost three thousand. We went to war when Osama bin Laden, not a state agent but a terrorist group Al Qaeda, killed three thousand Americans.
In the last twenty four years, there's been about two point four million Americans killed by these arco terraces in the organizations in which they belonged two point four million compared to three thousand.
Both are terrible. Both are bad.
But when we lost three thousand of our fellow citizens Bush forty three and then Obama went to war with El kata wherever they were located, Iraq, Afghanistan, wherever they were in the Horn of Africa. We bombed, used drones, we used missiles. We killed them and in the process killing hundreds of thousands of civilians not intended to be killed or maimed.
We did that.
And at the beginning of nine to eleven all the way through about twenty fifteen, how many civilians were killed by American military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The number given is close to a million killed, not the intended target, but as ancillary casualties of what we went to war concerning. And by the way, the last time the Congress declared war was nineteen forty one, December the eighth, nineteen. What's
been what eighty four years? So every military action since then has been undertaken by the commander in chief and there have been literally thousands of military actions taken since nineteen forty one, none of which are declarations of war. The president has brought authority. This president has the authority to protect us from narco terrorists. So you have boats, thousands of boats full of cocaine and terrorists heading to America to poison and kill one hundred thousand Americans every year.
That's a legitimate target. You do battle assessment the boat and the cargo remain legitimate military targets in southcom The Southern Command has been ordered by the Commander in Chief to put these boats on the bottom of the ocean. So the drug trafficker's death on the second strike was simply collateral damage. It happens all the time in war, all the time that happened during World War I, World War iiO on boats and ships, Vietnam War Korea. It's ancillary.
So let's continue. And I want to hear from you once again, the American people, what is your verdict. I guarantee you in the next three to five years, the Democrats who have control of the Department of Justice of things go the way many think they're going to go, and they're going to begin a criminal investigation of Admiral Bradley and also of Pete Hegseth and maybe Donald Trump himself and those who pulled the trigger on the Banana boat.
They care a lot more about narco terrorists than they care about Andrew Wolfe, and that a lot more than they care about Sarah Beckstrom twenty years old, who's dead. Those tories have been spiked completely because those who killed one and mortally won at the other and by the way, Andrew Wolfe's doing much better. He gave a thumbs up to his family. They're just collateral damage and the media wants to move on because the person who killed them were legal aliens who came here living in the state
of Washington on public assistance, on welfare. We paid for his survival as five kids and a wife drove across the country three thousand miles simply to kill an American uniform. That's what that terrorist did, and that's terrible. That death caused by the Naco terrorists are more than one hundred thousand every year since nine eleven. That means two point four million Americans have been killed by Naco terrorists from
Mexico to Venezuela to Colombia. And this president, unlike all the others in his sents, declared them to be legitimate military targets. Let's continue with your calls. Let's go to John and Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and then jad in Las Vegas. John and Hopkinsville, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. John, what is your verdict?
I would say not guilty.
Bill.
I agree with you and the other callers. How much misery and death would been calls if those drugs had reached their Destini show and did we not want to have a war on drugs. I may go all the way back to Nixon, but they used to.
Call it a war on drug Yes, Nancy Reagan, just say no, we've been pussy footing around this thing for forty or fifty years. We finally have a president with big, large coyones and Trump is doing what the other presidents wanted to do with their furbiage but didn't have the guts to do with Trump and Bradley are doing and I compliment them.
Yeah, so we actually start to fight the war like a war and the Democrats say, oh, we can't do that.
Well, how much do they care about illegal aliens who shoot National guardsmen in the back of the head compared.
To narco terrorists. I love alternative Universe.
Thank you for being a great American deal.
God bless you, and God bless the bluegrass. Let's continue with more, take a short break and laying before the American people. A questioned at some point in the future, the Democrats, if you believe their rhetoric, are going to file criminal charges against American soldiers, sailors, and admirals for what they're doing to these cocaine banana boats. The goal is to put them at the bottom of the ocean.
And if in the process, in an ancillary fashion, someone is killed, well that's part of the danger of operating cocaine banana boats. Forty nine minutes after the hour, what is your verdict? Eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven, Bill cunning and the Great American with you every Sunday night.
Let's continue now.
One of my good friends, Attorney James Bogan, sends the following to me. A boat and international waters that is not running a national flag has categorized in international law the same way a pirate is. Such boats have no national or international protections and you cannot commit a war crime against them. Plus, a core element every war crime is that the act must occurred within the context of an armed conflict. There must be a link between the
offence and the hostilities. So in this case, because the banana boats, the cocaine boats are not flying any national flag, don't identify themselves, They're treated like a pirate, and these pirates are committing criminal acts just the transportation of these items, these cocaine or heroinever it might be in international waters by itself, if part of a larger conspiracy, is a criminal act against the United States of America, because one
hundred thousand Americans die every year as a product to this. So if apprehended, they could be charged with international drug cartel, as many have been serving twenty to fifty years in prison and so. But a boat in international waters that is not running a national flag is categorized in international law the same way a pirate is, and such boats have no national or international protections, including under the Geneva convens. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Let's go
to j D in Vegas and many others. In fact, I'm going to hold up taking JD on about a minute, romaining get him. On the other side, we have full lines, and we live in sick, demented times in which you care more about drug traffickers than national guardsmen. We care more about illegal aliens, and we care about police officers. And I look to my right Christopher Ruddy of Newsmacks.
That's my favorite website. I love Chris Ruddy at Newsmacks, and he talks about the circumstances where they have many legal experts who say that the admiral is completely within his rights doing what he's doing. And then that's what James Bogan is also saying, Mom, Donnie is putting out messages in New York City about how to obstruct federal agents and ice officials. That sounds to me like a federal offense, obstruction of justice. What's going to happen now?
The Democrats began this game Donald Trump four or five years ago, and there of course, they really began in January and February of twenty seventeen because they wanted to obstruct him every way possible that the guy we voted for the presidency, the Democrats did not want to be the president, so they worked against us to make sure
he couldn't implement his policies. Carter Page and George Stepano searged Slappinopolis and others simply went after the president James Commey, et cetera, so that the will of the American people could not be heard and went. He won in twenty twenty sixteen.
That was a shock. When he went back in twenty twenty four that was incredible.
They want to stop the American people from having the president we chose, who got seventy seven million votes from enacting the policies he said he was going to enact. Let's continue with more than we do. We have jad in Las Vegas, and call us from Idaho and also Missouri and also Florida, in California and Utah. I love Utah, Bill Cunning, him with you every Sunday night.
Willie brough you by Choice Hotels Econo Lodging 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. There's radio's best, the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his his broadcast excellence, the one and only Bill Cunning.
Let's continue with your calls.
I have to read out here from the testimony of Admiral Mitch Bradley. He's the so called four star admiral. He's been in the military and the Navy as a seal for like thirty three years. Everyone talks about this
guy in the highest terms possible. You may recall the Washington Post story, the one that costs so much angst among Democrats, is that Pete Hegseth the War Secretary authorized the second strike on a helpless crew with kill them all order quote unquote Washington Post second strike authorized specifically by Pete Hegseth, kill them all well. Admiral Mitch Bradley showed the Congress and Executive Session a video of the strike itself and testified that Pete Hegseth quote had nothing
to do with approving the second strike. Can we say that again, Pete Hegseth had nothing to do with approving the second strike. That blows up the double tap theory out of the water. According to a source familiar with the incident, two survivors climbed back on the boat after the initial strike. They were believed to be potentially in
communication with others and salvaging some of the drugs. Because of that, it was determined they were still in the fight in valid targets, according to a JAG officer giving legal advice. So again, the story by the Washington Post was a lie. It was a fabrication untethered to reality. It was a JAG officer, someone specializing in military law, the UCMJ and the Geneva Convention with full understanding of what constitutes a war crime, which approved the second strike,
not the Secretary of War. The Secretary of War said, put that boat at the bottom of the Caribbean Ocean. And when the first strike did not do that. After a forty one minute delay, until Admiral Bradley had the mission of a JAG officer specializing in military law, he did not pull the trigger on the second tap, and by that point Pete Hegseth was out of the room. The mission was to put that banana boat at the bottom of the Caribbean Ocean. So the Admiral said, well,
put it at the bottom. Hit it again, and guess what, I went to the bottom. So the facts do not fit the lies told by the mainstream media. Where does Pete Hegseth go to get back his reputation when the Washington Post said kill them all and Bradley said, that's not true, and he was in the room. Let's continue, JD in Las Vegas and thousands of others. JD give me a full report.
Thank you, Billy. I appreciate the time. Can you hear me all right?
Yes?
I can.
Yeah. And by the way, I'm gonna call way on a route in about an hour.
Billy, in regard to some of the things you've already said. Obama did five hundred and twenty eight grown strike, including killing American citizens overseas and an American child. You know, I wish these military guys like Jack Reid from Rhode Island a arranger, and Kelly and the girl from Chicago Senator would realize military history in presidential actions. I want to take you back to a couple of things. JF.
Case went into Cuba without congressional authority. The biggest, the biggest lie ever told by an American president was the Bay of Tonkin by LBJ. It was a total farce, but he used that lie to send five hundred thousand boys to Vietnam. Fifty eight thousands came home in body bags and not one word about impeachment or a criminal or anything about LBJ. Ronald Reagan went into Grenada to get our college kids out. Ronald Reagan blew up to Daffy.
Clinton.
He went after a pharmaceutical building during Monica. I mean, there are so many Libyan went into Cambodia, Libya. Nixon went into Yeah, Nixon went into Cambodia. I think Operation Ryanbacker. I mean, these military veterans in the Congress and the House, don't they know. I wish you and Hannity and Levin would educate the media, the pundits and these Congress and senators about the military history of what every president has done since JFK.
Not one time as the opposition party said a war crime was committed by Barack Usain Obama, No Republican said, Joe Biden's committing a war crime. We're going to indict him, not republic But it's only the Democratic Party who wants to politicize the brave warriors, one of whom is dead and the other one is fighting for his life in Washington, d C. They care more about nark terrorists then they care about the life of a National guardsman from West Virginia.
Don't hear much about Miss Beckstrom at all anymore. And let's face it, I'm certain that when the Democrats get controlled, and it will happen at some point, hopefully not in the near future, they're going to go back in time and start indicting Republicans again.
They're going to weaponize the Department of Justice. That's what they do.
Billy, it is amazing again.
I have to reiterate these veterans in the Congress that have served, like I said, read from Rhode Island an Army ranger and Kelly, they shouldn't know all of this history that we're talking about. And again, if anybody ever needed to be impeached for lyon to the American public, was LBJ with the Gulf of Tonkan No.
One time did any Republicans say it is time for LBJ and Robert McNamara to be indicted and jailed. Under the think of what they did to Vietnam. As far as the civilians in Vietna now much less than fifty eight thousand dead soldiers, sailors, and marines, it was incredible.
It was a lie.
Take a look in what Bush forty three did with Iraq and Afghanistan. There were what about seven thousand American gis killed in those two wars now controlled by Islamic terrorists in both circumstances. And no one is saying that George Bush forty three should be indicted for a war crime. I don't think. But all that language is reserved for Donald Trump. Why is that?
Yeah, if you put it all in context, all of these crimes, not crimes, all of these actions taken by these presidents. How many people are involved. We're talking about eighty eighty morons that are getting in fishing boats or cigarette boats and trying to bring drugs to our country. I mean, the Democrats want to stand up for illegals. They're going after Ice everywhere now in New Orleans, they're
tracking them down. And they stand up for illegals. They stand up for broad in Medicare and medica uh and Medicaid and and food stamps, and they stand up for criminal drug people.
I don't understand how you can be an.
American politicians and have those policies that you. I see Adam Shift, I see this Jim Hines or what his name from Connecticut, ease people.
These people are just a news gatherer. I mean the headline gatherers.
Uh, they're they're they're not American.
They're they're crazy people.
How about this mom. Donnie for example, was elected New York City after the woman lost in Nashville. But they believe they want to defund the police, abolish the prison system for hebit, state operated hospitals from suing for medical debts, ban all guns, universal healthcare, decriminalized sex, work, safe injection sites for drug addicts, and cash bail, decriminalized drug possession, and cooperation with ice. Imagine when New York City and Donnie's going to be sworn in in about three weeks,
He's going to implement those policies. And Nashvilleigans came out and like forty six percent voted for that goofball, who's the running mate of AOCS. She almost won in Congress. And then you got Brandon Johnson in Chicago got Karen Bass. I'll ask you a question, JD. America is a great country. How long can we stay great when American cities are in collapse?
Well, I'm eighty one years old, Bill, so you know I've kind of long in the two that I have a lot of historical information in my brain. The fraud that Trump is exposing that's been going on by both sides with all of our we have to start from zero and redo everything when it comes to spending money.
In each time, every time, each time.
Imagine a year from now, if the Democrats seize control of the Congress and the King Jefferies is in charge, and.
They they won't, they won't.
I pray to God, I pray to God. You're right.
Uh.
The experts say, no, but the Trump voters have got to come out a year from now because the Trump agendas derailed will never be fully implemented, and the and the agendas of a King Jeffreys would become the law of the land. Let's continue now with Ralph, and I'm sure we're Ralph, South Carolina, Ralph from the home of the game Cocks.
Ralph, how are you.
All right?
How you going?
I'm doing good? What do you got.
I'm in favor of them doing whatever they need to do to them to blow up them boots, and they should go ahead and pardon those people, and then they wouldn't have anything to worry about.
Well, the thing is, I guess sometime soon that Venezuela is going to have to you know, Maduro's got a got a bond on his head of fifty million dollars.
Uh.
He's indicted Maduro for drug possession, drug traff and the leader of Venezuela. Maybe we're going to do something. I'm not sure what it is, but nonetheless, they are killing one hundred thousand Americans every year, and the last twenty four years has been two point four million dead Americans because of the drug traffickers and nine to eleven happened with only three thousand. Look how we reacted. Let's continue. Now,
let's go to Lisa in Pennsylvania, the home of the Quakers. Lisa, how are you good, evening?
How are you?
I'm doing well.
So you know, I'm not a lawyer, not a politician, not a veteran. I am a healthcare provider on the streets of Baltimore City in an open air drug market. So I'm going to make this argument short and sweet, and you know, history is the past. What do we have. I'm going to tell you what we have now, the real, for the real, what's going on, not what they want you to believe. So we lose every day two hundred and forty eight adults three children between fourteen and eighteen.
Okay, so we're.
You know, we're up in the numbers. Every day, seven days a week. Christmas for us, a dry Thanksgiving every day. Now, let's imagine seven forty seven. How many streets are on a seven forty seven between two fifty and three hundred. That means in this country, every day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days, a plane is crashing and with no survivors. Now, How can the left argue with that? Imagine that Kristin Wilker had to come on
TV every night. We imagine sched to do that every day, three hundred and sixty five days a year, CNN, everybody, and you are going to blame these men. We had three planes hit in nine eleven. People went crazy in this country. Why aren't they going crazy?
That one?
Seven forty seven is going down every day with veterans, lawyers, politicians, children. Addiction means has no lines other than I know Bordon the city and I've worked there thirty years. The kids in Bordon La City are not the problem. The people who come to Baltimore City in and open their drug market are the problem because these kids can't The kids in the city can't.
Afford the drugs.
But what they can come to me and say, Miss Lisa resend Obama, I mean President Biden's son is using coke in the White House? Why should I stop?
You make a great analogy. Can you imagine if that's seven forty seven crashed every day the civil air.
Every single day. Kristen Williger, who it's gonna sit and bread headsas has to has to interrupt your will aforging jeopardy and say a seven forty seven has gone down, knows that no planes would take off.
No planes would take off. I wouldn't get off.
To an argument that can't be argued with.
You know, I flew in, yes, but it's real life, Lisa.
I flew in this afternoon from from Fort Myers, Florida, and we had about two hundred people on a plane. Delta did a great job, and there were many children on that plane, the little babies and kids, which I thought was fabulous. And the idea that that plane is going to crash. If one would crash every day, nobody would go on a plane. In fact, I'm not triving today.
We don't have to imagine it. It's happening.
It's not.
It's an analogy, but it's the fact.
The truth.
I'm just a little drugs you know. I'm just like I lived thirty minutes from market gigs. I am one of the last Caucasian people to work the city streets. Farmer City. It's an open air drug market. The police had been hurt so bad that there just wereried about their safety, so they're not getting involved. But the point is the one other point I want to make as a as I've seen it. I'm on the streets of Bargainer City every day. Here's what happens, the overdose. We
rely on narcan to bring these kids back, right. We hit them with the narcan. It doesn't work. I send them over to John Hopkins Hospital and I get a call ten minutes later that I have to go back and get that cry it because they're clean, but they're positive for rat poisoning, comic rat commit or rat poisoning. That's what we're seeing. That what's coming in those boats could really not be cocaine, could be.
Rat poisoning, could be fentanyl. Is something we got to run against the clock. I love to call Lisa because the analogy you made is exactly accurate. Democrats care more about the rights of narco terrorists more than the living soul of guardsmen Et And we didn't hear much about her all anymore, killed by legal alien and so it is sick. And it said, you know, Jad mentioned New Orleans. I may call Jeff crue Air from New Orleans to
see what's happening there with ice. I'll just continue with more twenty two minutes after the hour, Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday night, Corey in Youtah. Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Corey, give me a full report.
Yeah, Bill Cunningham, You're a real patriot. We love you out here in Utah.
I love you, Hey.
I'm a good friend of Senator Mike Lee is a great patriot in the US Senate out there, and I want to give him a shout out for fighting against this disaster with Biden for four years and Obama for eight. Bless he and Ted Cruz have sold. But I'm in a unique position to be calling on this topic. I was a police officer in the Navy. They trained us on hi aging enemies on boats, you know, to protect our own military ships and stuff. And with that attorney
had told you was one hundred percent correct. If there's a boat out there and it doesn't have a nationality flag on it, it's treated no different than a pirate ship. And I fully support President Trump and what he's done and Pete Hexseth on this. And also I had an uncle here in Utah in two thousand that was killed by an illegal alien and I've been sending on the
alarm on this BS for the last two decades. Only to have it fall in the fault years of rhinos, like our former governors in Utah, Mike Levett and Gary Herbert, to have nothing done, nothing done about it until President Trump came in in twenty sixteen. And I'm very thankful for this president as a military veteran and as an angel family. And you know what we did to those
pirate ships down there in the Caribbean. On this whole deal that the fake news media is creating a big deal on is no different than an Apache helicopter taking out a convoy in Afghanistan or Iraq, like we have several times, and people get out of there and run.
What do we do?
We eliminate all of them. They're still in the game. They're still They're still in it. So I fully support what's going on down there. And I'm sick and tired
of the liberal bs that's going on. And I'm thankful that heg Seth and Trump have cleaned out the social the socialism experiment that Obama tried to put in this military, and we're now a fighting force again with recruiting numbers going through the roof because people want to join a real military that doesn't have a bunch of pansies and dresses running around doing LGBTQ shows.
Corey, you mad.
I'm going to make you and my last caller the callers of the month because what you said encapsulates what I think many Americans feel but are fearful to express, and that is the military when they're out there killing narco terrorists are doing the Lord's work. And Corey, thanks for calling in. Get my best news. Senator Mike Lee. I've had I'm on a couple of times, wrote a book or two. He's a great man. And God bless you, and God bless the people of Utah. Thank you, Bill,
God bless you, and thank you for your service. Let's continue with more. I'm going to put a call into Jeff crue Air of New Orleans talk with him and also the good friend of j D in Las Vegas, Wayne Allen.
Route will be here later on.
And I would like to think that a legal migrants from corrupt, violent nations bring dangerous values into this country and it must be stopped. Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday night.
Bill Cunningham, the Great America.
Of course, Jeff Crue Air controls New Orleans Louisiana with an iron grip. He's been a radio talk show host there for many years, written many books. And now that LaToya the Destroyer is heading toward federal prison, is the new mayor going to be any different?
Meet the new boss the same as the old boss.
Bill.
It's one liberal Democrat coming in in exchange for another liberal Democrat. The difference is that the new mayor is polished, she's smart, she's articulate, she'll she'll make a good image, but her policies are pretty much the same. She's not corrupt, she's not going to go to jail, but she's not going to move New Orleans in a direction toward you free market entrepreneurship, you know, a booming economy.
It's going to be.
Government solutions for problems, you know, give us more money, more programs. That's going to be her formula.
Her name is Helena Maarino. Not much different. Has Ice arrived in the Crescent City yet, Yes.
Yes, we are pleased to have them.
You know.
I do a bike ride every you know, Sunday morning, all around the city with my friend. And there are many buildings that were doing born with graffiti f Ice. There's all kinds of marks from the protesters that you know, they're not pleased that Ice is here. But Gregory Bravino, the head of the Border Patrol, has been asking, you know, folks, you know, to cooperate, and I see most people, most of the you know, business owners and most of the
average citizens support what they're doing. A lot of them go up to them and say, hey, I want a selfie with you. He's got a lot of support among the people, not necessarily the local politicians.
As far as the bunch of deficit I left. I look at some of your columns, Chef Creweir, and you point out there's a huge bunch of deficit LaToya Cantrell the destroyer left behind. And also I also noted that those twelve or so murderers that escape from a county jail, about three have not yet been found. But how big is the deficit left behind? Which is true in almost every set. In fact, we have a mayor in Cincinnati name half tab Pirival who's had two personal cars repossessed
by the repo man. And so what's happening in New Orleans kind of embarrassing when your mayor has the repo man with a tow truck hooking up his car. Would you kind of embarrassing? Let's have to have pirival doesn't make his car payments. Butvertheless, how big is the Jefferson in New Orleans?
Well, well she did one better than him.
She had a love.
Shack with her bodyguard boyfriend that we had to repossess from her. She was using a city owned apartment for her little rendezvous with their bodyguard, and the city council had to eventually kick her out of there and change the locks. See that's the whole reason.
You know.
For one, I was wondering, why is she traveling all over the world for climate change conferences. She doesn't care about climate change. She just wanted to go on international trips with her bodyguard boyfriend.
He was a hell of a bodyguard. He was guarding her body, making sure no one else got to it.
Right, all exactly, So now it all makes sense. They wanted to on the taxpayer time, you.
Know, see Rio and all.
These other exotic destinations. So I mean it was a scam. So yes, Bill, she left us with about a two hundred million dollars a budget deficit, and that's in a city whose overall budget is only about eight hundred million, So I mean, that's a massive deficit. They got all this COVID money, they decided to keep spending it. It was supposed to be one time money, but they turned it into recurring expenses. They budgeted fifty seven thousand for
overtime that really cost sixty to seventy million. So, I mean, it was just one debacle after another. And the city council that Helena Moreno sat on did not do a very good job of oversight. They just sort of rubber stamped what the mayor was doing. And now of course they're all saying that they didn't know. Well, they should have known because they were on the city council. They're supposed to be overseeing what the mayor is doing.
Is there any real election in Cincinnati. We don't have a real election in Chicago, or in Los Angeles or New York, Atlanta, there's no real election. The Democratic Party nominates, the Democrats can stand up and stand up and line to vote, some in person, some in mass Is there any like the New Orleans an opposition party to any of this.
No.
The Republican candidate for mayor got two percent of the vote, which is even worse than Curtis Leewa received in New York City two two percent. Yeah, and he's a good, good man who should have been elected. He's a CPA, came out of retirement to run very qualified. He knew the budget backwards and forwards. He could have really cleaned up that city. He got two percent of the vote. And when Donald Trump Ron's When Republicans run for governor, they get about ten to fifteen percent of the vote
in Orleans Parish, which accomplices of the city. So that's about the base of Republicans arrest or Democrats, and they just fight it out among the Democrat party as to who's going to be the preferred candidate.
At least in Cincinnati. J. D. Vance's half brother got like sixteen percent of the vote. That's not bad.
Of course, it ran against the mayor whose cars repossessed, ran against a city manager appointed by the mayor who filed personal bankruptcy because of Taxleans. But other than that, and the vice mayor in our town also has a million dollars in Taxleans and the mayor can't make car payments, and so that's typical in Cincinnati. Talk about your nomination for Turkey of the Year. You have many nominees, but there's only one winner. Tell the American people who are the nominees.
Well, there were a lot of very, very good.
Nominees this year.
We had Chuck Schumer, he was a nominee. We had LaToya Cantrell. Of course, LaToya Destroyer. She was one of the popular nominees. But the overwhelming winner was Jasmine Crockett, the congresswoman from the Great State of Texas. Her faux pause during twenty twenty five. I mean, we could spend hours talking about that. She backs up her you know, incompetence with delusions of grandeur. She makes her staff driver around and escalade. They're like an uber driver. She's like
a princess in the back all to herself. She rarely goes to work. She's a diva, treats her staff like dirt. And then of course she wants to now run for the US Senate and in the great pity of Texas, and we got to alert our friends in Texas to make sure that doesn't happen, because she would be a disaster. Well, we can't promote someone like.
Her, you know, Jeff Carer, I hear every cycle Texas is about to go blue. And so I guess having gone through a whole bunch of real derelics and knuckleheads and some real goofballs, they now moved on to Jasmine Crockett to run for the US Senate seat. Now, if that happens and AOC takes over the set through New York, she's gonna run against Chuck Schumer. Everyone in the note tells me that she's not so stupid as a run for president, but to begin in the Senate as a
stepping stone of the presidency. And imagine Congresswoman Porter in California winning the governorship. There you'd have the trifecta Porter, the Crockett, the AOC and throwing LaToya the destroyer, throwing all of them together.
Now we're in real trouble.
Yeah, the three stooges, those three, my gosh, I mean, can you imagine the disaster that would be at those three one? I mean, I don't think Chuck Schumer is going to run. So I do think AOC is going to win. I don't think Jasmine Crockett is gonna win. Even though the polls show that she's leading among Democrats. She'll probably get the Democrat nomination. So I see her giving it a try. But you're right, they keep saying it's close. But I still think the Republican will prevail.
And I see her, I do not see her getting elected, but you know, we got to keep our guard up. I mean, she's a dangerous person. I mean she's just extremely left wing, very very incompetent. She says things that are very divisive. She likes to push the racial issues divide people. She's not a unit or she's not someone that's going to help the people at Texas. She's just going to do it for her own personal glory.
You have a great column up about two weeks ago, November the twenty fourth at Jeffkruair dot com. America is facing the most critical midterms ever.
Please explain, Well, we have got a Republican majority of about four seats now, and with Marjorie Taylor Green resigning, that's going to be another special election. So Republicans need to maintain their majority until the midterms. And then, of course history shows Bill that the party out of power normally wins massive numbers of seats in the House and takes power. Republicans have got to hold on to this because if the Democrats that take control, that's going to
be the end of the Trump agenda. They're going to start impeachment hearings against President Trump. They'll probably impeach him on the House side. They'll be the same sort of dysfunction that we saw in the first term. And we've got too much work to do to overcome all of the Biden agenda. I mean, we are trying to make progress with all of the obstacles that the left is throwing in front of President Trump, and we can't turn control of Congress over to the Democrats. That would be
a total disaster. So that's why I say it's incredibly important for this country. If we want to maintain to make America Great Again agenda and help President Trump succeed, he needs help in Congress. And by the way, these Republicans need to get to work. I'm tired of their recesses. I'm tired of all of their you know, getting paid for shutdowns and not doing anything the two months vacation that they took. I mean, there's too much at stake here. I mean, it's a lot of fire under them. Bill.
The other issue you bring up, which is a good one that if the Senate stays Republican, which most pun ands say it will unless Jasmin Crockett maybe she's related to Davy Crockett. I'm not sure, but some Jasmin Crockett in Texas wins the Senate seat, there there'll be no judges ever again confirmed by the United States Senate or ambassadorships.
If they take the House and the Senate, which smart individuals say could happen because of a lot of malaise with Republican megatypes, then we're in a real crisis because then Trump would be an orphan in Washington, d c. And we can't have that. It would be a disaster. Which is Obamacare coming up in about a week. By the middle of the month, they're supposed to say, Okay, the Senate's going to have a vote on Obamacare. Remember, like your plan, keep your plan, like your doctor, keep
your doctor. Your premiums going down twenty five hundred dollars a year on every We're going to lower the budget deficit. And I don't see anyone bringing this information out When Democrats speak about the glories of Obamacare, why don't they talk about the fact that Obamacare billions go to the insurance companies. We're supposed to hold down premium cost and also deductibles, and they don't do that. We're funding the
insurance companies and not healthcare in this country. Imagine a world in which the Democrats control the House in the Senate about a year from now, My god, are we're in trouble and we forget about Obamacare and the promises. Why does in the media bring up the promises of Obamacare, none of which haven't kept.
I mean, you make a great point. I mean we keep hearing from the media and the Democrats the word affordability. The problems that we have with affordability are all due to Democrats because Democrats gave us Obamacare. Not one Republican voted for Obamacare. Democrats gave us bidnomics. We're only ten months away from bidnomics. And President Trump's agenda is in all the way completely enacted to one beautiful bill doesn't get started until after the new year. So we're still
recovering from Bidenomics. That people have affordability issues with healthcare and other costs, it's all due to the Democrats, and Republicans are terrible at messaging and fighting back and standing their ground and communicating to the American.
People about these issues.
They've got a great story to tell with what President Trump is doing. But they're, you know, they're they're they're not doing it. They're they're they're certainly ineffective, and they're not supporting the President's nominees and the Senate.
You're talking about it.
If the Democrats take control, they should be not confirming everybody.
Now, but they're not.
Because of the stupid Blue slip and all these other hurdles that they're putting in front of everything.
They got to get rid of the.
Filibuster bill, they got to get to work, and we've got limited time here. So I don't know either. These Republicans are just lame. But the Democrats cause the affordability so as we know, and you see that helps the Republicans.
Whether it's rents, utility, cost health care, the Democratic policies calls the affordability crisis. Instead of taking responsibility for the extent of their policies, they blame the other side for
what they've done. It's an incredible thing to watch. The Landlord Association in New York City says there's thirty five thousand empty apartments in New York City, and one of the shows, I think it was Breitbarter, it might have been Fox News had a reporter go with the landlord to a nondescript one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn and he said, in that unit right there, I pay four thousand dollars a month fifty thousand a year in real estate expenses,
real estate taxes, that's fifty thousand, he said. I also spend approximately one thousand a month in utilities. That's twelve thousand. So before I do anything about that apartment, I have sixty two thousand dollars five thousand a month to break even. Now, on top of that, I have to pay utilities, and I have to upgrade the facility now. Then, so if I don't charge seven or eight thousand a month for eleven hundred square foot apartment in Brooklyn, I go bankrupt
because the cost exceed the rent. And so when the Democrats in New York City, I have thirty five thousand empty apartments and they have rent freezes, which means you can't recover the cost of real estate tax increases, utility cost increases. The Democratic policies bring about what they seek to avoid, which they want to have lots of apartments. Their policies cause fewer apartments, and economics indicate when that occurs the rents go up.
Correct, You're exactly right.
I mean some of these people will walk away from these projects if they can't make any money, and the Democrats prevent people from making money, from making a living, from doing it in a way that's economically feasible. I mean, their plans just don't work. They never work. There's never an example of any of these plans working anywhere. So New York City is going to be a disaster under this Mondamie character. New Orleans was a disaster under our mayor. Cincinnati the same.
Way under your mayor.
I mean, they just don't work. There's no city we can point to you and say, hey, Democrat policies turned that city around and made it more libable, made it more affordable. I gave it a better economy that got nothing. They've got poor results everywhere, yet people in some of these cities like Cincinnati, New Orleans keep voting for the Democrats.
We just had the election about a month ago and after that have purevoll got like eighty two percent of the vote, and this was after the riots downtown. This is after him signing silly legislation. This was after the repoman had popped one of his cars for non payment.
And so, I mean, how many mayors.
Have multiple cars repossessed by the REPO man while he's in office?
Does that happen very often?
No?
No, And that should be disqualifying. That should be disqualifying. And how he handled the you know, the down there was just horrible and that should have been disqualifying. And then he gets eighty two percent of the vote.
That's that's incredible.
But well, you know, I mean these voters are I guess they're just hard headed. They just can only vote Democrats. I mean, that's what they've been programmed to do. That's what they believe is the best in their best interests, and they understand is leading to the destruction.
Of these cities. Well that, I mean, it's just crazy.
Yeah.
Take of our three major cities, Take New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. You take Mom Donnie, Brandon Johnson, and Karen Bess. You cannot have a more collection of goofs than those three running their cities into the ground. And Mom Donnie's about to make it worse. His policies are awful and they're going to be worse. And the voters voted for him. At least you only have like fifty
point five percent of the vote. In Cincinnati, our goofy mayor gets eighty two percent, and you're Mayor Helena Marino. I guess, I guess you got ninety percent of the vote.
No, she she had some Democrat out, you know, Democrats, so she won the in the first primary with about fifty five percent of the vote. But you know, candidate's number two and three were both Democrats, and she she won. She didn't even have to go to a runoff. So the problem is that a lot of Republicans voted for her, thinking that she was the lesser of the evils among the Democrats. Instead of getting behind the Republican candidate, they voted for her, and now they're going to regret that.
I predict based on you know, how she's acted toward Ice. I mean, you know, she's not exactly welcome. I mean, we've got a Republican governor he's welcoming Ice.
Look at what she's doing.
I mean, she's trying to run them out of town.
Jeff Carer, you're the best of this, I want to check in with you on the Southern Command there in New Orleans. And Jeff Creer, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not one but two prestigious Marconi Awards where he's broadcast excellence, the one and only Bill Cunningham.
Billy Cunningham, the Great American Course of course. WAYN.
Allen Root is one of the great friends and supporters of President Donald Trump. Author of many books, as TV and radio shows. He knows where the bodies are buried all over the country. Wayne Allen Root, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show, and Merry Christmas to you and yours and secondly, you have two great columns I want to focus on. One is to port all illegal aliens out of America and do it quickly. The other one's Obamacarey's going to raise his ugily head again in about
a week. So tell the American people, and I know you share this with the President, the scope of the problem and how to solve it.
Well.
As far as the illegal immigration, I'll tell you what I think. First of all, everybody makes it like they're all in agreement except for the worst of the worst of the worst of the Democrats, the ones who run the country who don't even think it's a problem.
But the average person on the street.
Everyone on the right and the left agrees that we should deport criminals, go criminals, the ones who are actually convicted felons. Everyone agrees on that. Where there's disagreement is beyond that. And I would argue that the worst crime in America, besides murder and rape, is that illegals are bankrupting our country, and so you got to deport everyone who takes welfare. This argument that illegals are contributing to society, they're not taking from society is the biggest lie ever told.
They're all on food stamps, they're all on welfare, they're all in housing allowances, they're all in aids, in dependent children, their kids are in school. They're bankrupting us, They're burying us in debt.
They're destroying this country. The economy is eventually going to collapse.
Because of all the debt from the trillions of dollars that we spend collectively each decade on illegal immigrants.
So my argument is who needs.
To be deported, Well, we have to all agree criminals in any illegal that takes Goverment checks, and then I will agree to you leave the other ones alone.
That would be my compromise.
All the ones who don't take Govment checks and do not commit crimes, leave them alone. You know what, I think, that's like one percent, ninety nine percent take a check from the government, whether it's an earned income tax credit, food stamps, welfare, et cetera, et cetera. So let's throw out of the country all the people that are taking money. We don't know them that you want to come in my country, You want to break in my country, and then.
You want to rob me too, and steal my money and.
Make the budget explode and make the dead explode. So first fifth degree that we want to get all the illegals out who are both criminals and or taking out of the system stealing our money. Once we've agreed on that, then you have to say, how do you get them out? Because twenty five million came in under Biden, that's the real number, and there's probably forty to fifty million in the country right now. And the way Trump's going, the
pace he's going, Bill, He's doing a great job. He got two million them out of the country, but multiply that.
Time is four He's only going to get eight million out. That's not good enough. This is not going fast enough.
So my belief is that you literally Trump needs to announce that ICE will no longer operate in blue cities and blue states, only conduct operations in red cities and red states that cooperate with ICE.
And if we do.
It my way, we will clean all the illegals will run for their lives to blue cities and blue states, and all of us who live in red cities the red states. No more illegals, life gets better. You can cut property TAXI, you and.
Cut sales taxes.
No more crime, no more welfare exploding the red cities and the Red States will be fantastic. Let them all move to the Blue cities and the Blue States, and then in about a year, when they've all moved, then it's easy.
To find them all.
It's like picking off fish in a barrel, as they say, or deporting fish in a barrel. Now you send ice into the Blue cities and the Blue States that you said you weren't going to go in, but you do it a year for now because they've all run to those states and it's easy to find them. They're all in one place, they're not spread out, and we got them.
So that's my theory.
There is not enough ice officers in this country to go find them in every city in fifty states, especially when those cities are not cooperating. So let them all run to the places where democrats run the city and they say we will defend illegals. That's where they'll all go. And eventually we'll go clean them all out. But for now, we'll clean out the Red cities and the Red States and life will be good.
You know, Wayne, I have to share with you the comments of borders are Tom Homan about the children in a minute or two, but I want you to focus on this. In your column, you say, I don't know why we make such a big deal out of Russia's invasion of Ukraine when America's endured a far worse invasion. Russia has sent six hundred thousand trips to invade Ukraine, the world has sent fifty million to invade America.
Great comment, right, right.
I mean, that's the reality, is fifty million invaders in our country and they're collecting checks almost every one of them. You know, people see them, their gardeners, their maids, their nannies. They work hard, They do work hard. I will absolutely say there are many illegal aliens who work hard in our country, but they've all learned that this government is
filled by morons. And then our government will give anyone who asks a wealthare check and food stamps and earned incotext credits and free healthcare, and pretty soon they're spending trillions of dollars of our money. And it's like, you know, it's bad enough if someone invade your home, but once they invade your home, at least they leave right any when there's a home evasion, eventually the criminals leave.
But if they stay and say, for the rest of my life, I want to have your income.
That's what illegals are doing when they take checks for the government. They're staying and taking all of our money. So there is no money to fix the infrastructure this country. There's no money for all the people who are citizens of our country. The illegals get free, free school, and now they're starting to get free college.
And my kids don't get that. Your kids don't get that. This is outrageous.
So anyone who's touched government money has got to be deported out of our country. And if you want to call me a softy, I'll let those who have no criminal record and who never took a check they can stay.
You know my opinion, there's almost none of them.
They've all taken the money, so we'll get rid of all the bad ones who took the checks.
In a related matter, Harry Truman said, show me a man that gets rich by being a polo tition, and
I'll show you a crook. There was the story a couple of days going on Fox News in which a mid mass Somalian fraud nearing double digit billions in Minnesota has been revealed that Congresswoman Elin Omar's net worth has exploded from sixty five thousand dollars in twenty twenty to thirty million and twenty twenty four of forty six thousand percent increase in some place to figure closer to forty five or fifty million dollars that Omar has made directly and indirectly by being in Congress.
That is better than Nancy Pelosi. Why doesn't the media investigate that?
Yeah, and I want you know, there's another great story in the news that's a big one. And I think this probably it looks like Steven Miller says, the biggest fraud in the history United States, and that billion is going to look low by the time we're done. It's more like eight billion. And that's only coming out of I almost said Somalia, but it is Somalia, now little Somalia. Minnesota now little Somalia. They even have a Somalian flag.
I don't know if you notice that, but good old Waltz change the state flag of Minnesota and it looks just like the Somalian flag.
No kidding, this is not a joke. The flag of the state.
Of Minnesota is almost a direct copy of the Somalian flag. Our country has been conquered. It's been taken over. But if you think that that's bad, if it's now six or eight billion, wait till you find out how much money has been stolen in every blue state by illegal aliens in California, in New York, in Rhode Island, and in Chicago, Illinois. They're everywhere and they're all stealing money.
You know, this is the idea that like, you know, Wayne Root must be all Republicans, O maga, all the Wayne Roots, that Donald Trump's were all racist.
Well you couldn't be furtherest to the truth.
I love legal immigrants number one. I think that's what made America right, legal immigrants, not illegal.
And number two, you know what, Bill, I don't care if you're black. I don't care if you're white. I don't care if you're green. I don't care if you're Jewish. I don't even care of your Muslim.
If you come to America and you want to not go on welfare and not take food stamps and not take from the system, and you have a job, you're not lazy from the day you get here. You have a job, you contribute, and you pay taxes. Those people I like, if they're smart. How about what Trump talks about low Iq, He's one hundred percent of right. These Somalians in little of Somalia in Minnesota, low Iq elin Omar's iq is like almost a retarded disabled person in America.
These people do not belong in our country. The point of America is we want immigrants, but we want the best of the best from each country, not the worst of the worst. So I'll take a Somalian, I'll take a black person from Zimbabwe, Somalia, Haiti, as long as you're the top one half of one percent, smartest and most talented for that country. But what we're doing now is taking the bottom of the barrel, the worst of the worst from each country.
So I don't care if you're from Israel or Haiti.
I want the best of Israel and I want the best of Haiti.
Will take all of those.
In our country legally, never illegally, but stop accepting low iq, unskilled won't learn English, criminals and frauds into our country, who are welfare queens that want to be paid government checks for the day they're boards will the day they die. So I'm all for immigration. If you come here to work and you'll never take a dime and you're smart, which give an IQ test. I'll take the smartest in Somalia.
I want the top one hundred people in Somalia who have IQs above one point thirty, right, But I don't want the ones who have IQ's of seventy. We don't want him in our country. So we have to start having standards. America doesn't need more dumb people. We got enough dumb people already.
Bill, Well, how about this?
When I watched Tom Homan this morning on CNN, he made this would be a great topic for sixty minutes if we had legitimate news media. He said that those experts in his Department of Borders are health and human
I'm sorry the borders are said. There's at least sixty two thousand and migrant children from horrific circumstances like sex trafficking and forced labor that have been freed by Donald Trump, leaving about another three hundred thousand children led in by Obama and Biden that were sex traffic continue to be
sex traffic. Wouldn't it be interesting, instead of those two Narco terrorists that were killed on the Double Top strike, if all the news media would try to find some of these children who were put into sex trafficking six seven, eight little boys and girls by the policies of Joe Biden. Why doesn't why doesn't why doesn't Trump get coverage of what he's done with that?
Yeah, it's great, it's great stuff. And I can tell you why this stuff doesn't happen. This is the point I was going to make it that I got off on my tangent about how we don't want low.
IQ in our country.
But what I was gonna make was it's not just the money that's been stolen by the Somalis in Minnesota. It's also a big news story that was kind of avoided. Most people didn't see it last week as the mainstream didn't cover it.
But Obama had a.
Big shot DEA official who got arrested this week for being on the payroll of the Mexican drug cartel.
And right, an Obama official gets arrested for being on the payroll of the drug cartel in Mexico.
And I've come on your show one hundred times, Bill, I mean, I'm on your show a lot, and every time I say something about the fact that, in my opinion, all the Democrats are on the payroll of China and the Mexican drug cartel. And of course China's partners with the Mexican drug cartel because they bring in all the feneral Mexico does for China. China makes it all and then their partners bring it across the border, traffic it
and sell it in the United States. So China is partners with all the drug gangs, the drug cartels, and the drug cartel chiefs, And so I believe every Democrat because they all act so abnormal. They love illegals, they love giving illegals money, they love defending them and never allowing.
Them to be deported.
They'll defend you if you're a murderer, a rapist, MS thirteen gangbanger, they'll fly del salvage wor to bring it back.
It's crazy.
The reason why you own thing that makes sense is that they are on the payroll of the Mexican drug cartel. This guy was the tip of the iceberg. In my opinion, Half the government officials who have something to do with bringing in drugs, you know, if they can, if they're in a position that can help bring in drugs, they're on the payroll of the Mexican drug cartel. Half the politicians are on the payroll of the Mexican drug cartel, on both parties, but all the Democrats. I'm telling you
it's happening. I don't know why people don't get it. I watched the nineteen forties movie the other day in black and white, and it was about the mob in nineteen forty and in New York City in nineteen forty, the mafia, the Italian mafia, controlled the judges, the police chiefs, and the politicians.
The judges were all bought.
So what would make people think that the Mexican drug cartels, with all the money in the world, they make up billion dollars a week, You don't think they could pay off all the judges in the America, all the Democrat judges. You don't think they got the police chefs. You don't think they got the politicians. Of course they do.
The mafia did it in nineteen forty.
They didn't make anything near the money that these guys are making now. So I'm telling you our officials and government and our politicians are paid in offshore accounts by the Mexican drug cartel and by China. And I'm telling you that's why they're so desperate to keep the border open and to keep the illegals in the United States, even the gang bangers in all on.
That front, Homan also said that in December of last year, three hundred and one, nine hundred and eighty one encounters at the southwest border. He said twice that number we're not recorded as encounters. That would be six hundred thousand and one month. And in the month of November we have the numbers. The number is zero. So in one month of last year with Biden six hundred thousand encounters LEGO and in Leo six hundred thousand, and in the month of November this year zero and so.
Well, not only not only zero in November, but I believe I report on my show yesterday, I'm pretty sure the number was seven months in a row. We've let zero into the country. Zero for the seventh months in a row. I mean, when people criticize Trump, I get it.
Listen.
I disagree with Trump on several key issues. You know, him and I could argue about a whole bunch of things. You know, I'm against the vaccine. I can't stand the fact that he wants to let six hundred thousand shiny students into the country I disagree should have released Epstein. You know I always said from day one, I send notes, release Epstein, Release Epstein. You're causing problems here with Maga.
Release Epstein. There are things even I disagree with Trump on, but that never makes me change my mind that if you watch the things he does on a weekly basis, he is the greatest president of my lifetime, and he is the goat, maybe the greatest of all time. He is better than Reagan. He does more in a week good than Reagan did in eight years.
And I love Reagan.
Reagan's my hero, but never did Reagan do what Trump does.
Every day of the week.
He makes six announcements that I love, and then like once a month he does something I don't like. And these these people on the right who are so uptight about the one he does that they don't like. You know, the glass is half full, it's.
Not half empty. Stop seeing it as half empty.
He is the greatest president we've ever had, and he's the greatest president will ever get in the future. So you better enjoy it because he does more good in a week than any president will ever do in eight years.
And next year, if it goes the wrong direction. The last two years of his last term in office is going to be impeachments and subpoenas and all kinds of governmental hearings. King Jefferies is going to impage the President again and probably peyt hag Cethea. It'll be nothing will happen. This next midterm election November of next year, is going to be by far the most important in my lifetime.
Would you agree, Well, that's why I have the answer to that.
There's only one answer, and the average person doesn't understand that. Trump gets it, and Tommy Tupperville gets it because he announced it last week, and I've been saying on my show every day, the most important thing we can ever do in the history of America is to kill the philibuster. And if the Republican Congress won't kill a philibuster, then they're all morons. But they're playing for the other side.
Because if we were to kill the filibuster, and you could pass the entire Trump agenda with fifty one votes instead of sixty, you can pass voter ID for federal elections, proof of citizenship for federal elections. You can pass no longer allow mail in ballots, except if a person get proved they're extremely sick. You're dying of cancer. Other than that, no longer allow ballot drop boxes or ballot harvesting. No longer allow ballots to be counted after election day on a federal base.
You can't do that locally. I get it.
CONTs says the states control their local state elections, but on a federal level, for federal elections, this could all be passed. Not to mention, every conservative judge that's been sitting in line one hundreds of that don't get passed, right, line them up and send them on through.
If we don't.
Pass the filibuster, we will lose the midterms. It's suicide to not pass a killing of the filibuster.
We've got to get rid of the filibuster.
And then we win every election going forward for years to come, because without rigging and cheating, Democrats cannot win elections.
Root for America dot com, Root for America dot com. Way on the route once again, Thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and Wayne, you're a great American, and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Roots for America dot com. Merry Christmas, Happy and happy New Year.
God bless you you're the best.
Thank you very much. Let's continue with more Billy Cunningham. With you every Sunday Night. By Billy Cunningham. The Great American waylan the root those where the bodies are buried all over the country. And if he can get the President to do what he suggests, how great would that be? And then leave the Blue cities and Blue states alone, let them fall under their own morass. And I'm gonna have I love to hear from Jeff crue Air from
New Orleans about ICE cooperation there. And to cut off all government benefits to illegal aliens I think should be a given.
Why not? It makes a whole bunch of sense.
And secondly, how can you have an affordability crisis complain about by the Democrats When their policies cause the issues in America to become unaffordable, whether it's rent or food, or whether it's alcohol or gasoline, utilities and pharmaceutical or medical expenses. The Democratic policies is what's causing higher costs,
and they pen that on someone other than themselves. When their policies cause the countries middle class, they have many things in their life that are unaffordable, unaffordable, I stay tuned for more. Coming up next will be the great Warren Davidson. Warren Davison has spent many years in the Congress. He also is a graduate of West Point. Is defending the viewpoints about what to do about Pete Hegseth and Admiral Bailey, Admiral Bradley that both of us say he did nothing wrong.
So let's continue with more.
Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with you and all of the great Americans every Sunday. Bill Cunningham, the Great America. Let's continue now in One of the great representatives in the Congress is Warren Davidson of the state of Ohio. Been there about ten years, graduated from Notre Dame, also at West Point graduate and Congressman Warren Davidson. First of all, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and Merry Christmas.
And I want to get a military guy's perspective on the double tap that happened on these Narco terrorists and how unusual is it for that to occur. The admiral involved seems to be a platinum gold when it comes to ethics, values and morals. What he did was have out his side a jagged lawyer Department of Defense approving what he was doing. So how does a military man process what's happening in the Caribbean.
Always very interesting to see you and all your listeners as well. Thanks for having me on. And look, you know, when you think of it, the military go back to George Washington on Christmas, they crossed the Delaware and change the course of the revolution. So you know, we're here at a time where we've just remembered the day that lives in infamy, December seventh, and now we're moving moving forward. But you know, you look at the long legacy of
our military. Look, the military, they take action when all the diplomacy fails. Right, we tried the asking nicely, We told them to stop, and now you have to make them stop bringing the drugs into our country. And so President Trump rightly declared the cartel's enemies of our country. They are clearly enemies of our country. They're killing Americans with this poison, fentanyl, and all kinds of other horrific acts.
And they're allied with people that are also part of a broader terror network and a broader terror funding system. So they're legitimate target. There is an eminent threat to Americans, and so they've gone through all that. Then when you go to target it, they intended to kill the people on the boat and sink the boat. Right, They want to kill they want to take out everything about that boat. And the idea that well, you only get one shot
at it is crazy. Now they've tried all kinds of word parsing to get around the fact.
The root issue is they don't want.
To take out the cartels. I mean, at the end of the day, they've been the great Democrats have been the greatest thing ever for the cartels. When Donald Trump was president number forty five, the cartels were making money trafficking people across the southern border. The New York Times
estimated about five hundred thousand dollars a year. But with two years into the Biden administration, The New York Times hardly a friend of ours says that the cartels were making over thirteen billion dollars a year just trafficking the people, exploiting them, mong them tens of thousands of unaccompanied miners, many of whom the Trump administration have recovered.
So these these are horrible.
Democrats don't want to stop the cartels. They've designed policy after policy that helps the cartels, and so now they're out there like, well, you can't come back and try to kill them a second time. They were stranded on a boat that was going to sink and you had to go rescue them. Well, no you don't. Now if they were defenseless and floating in the water trying to survive and get to shore. There is a shipwreck provision in the law of armed conflicts, and that did in
fact happen. If you recall there were two people that were rescued by our military and our coast Guard. They were returned to their country of origin. Now I think they should have been extra died and prosecuted. I mean, they were in the act of something else. Get Mos a great fitting place underutilized these days, and you could have taken them there and just made it clear like no, you don't get a free pass for trying to do
this to our country. But that's the kind of lay of the land right now as I see it.
Well, we have many examples in the past of sinking a disabled enemy vessel, even when carrying a wounded personnel at a standard naval practice for generations. I saw this story on the History Channel which I love watching. And the commentator that made the remarks during the Battle of Midway, one of the Japanese carriers was blue up, was burning dead in the water, no longer able to fight or launch aircraft, but it was full of injured, dead and
dying Japanese soldiers to the tune of several hundred. And you know, you know what we did, Congressman. We kept throwing torpedoes into the ship until it was at the bottom of the ocean.
And that was lawful.
And so there were hundreds of wounded Japanese of the Imperial Navy that we put to the bottom of the Pacific because they were on an aircraft likely to sink and disabled enemy vessel. Everyone caring when the personnel has been standard naval practice for generations, and consistent with the law of the armed conflict of the sea, not to directly kill those men, but to take the ship to the bottom of the ocean.
And what happens happens, you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, exactly.
And look, we've got colleagues, frankly Republicans and denteracrats that are out there are like, well, you know, you can't just give a death penalty to these guys. They're trafficking drugs. It's not a capital offense. Look, you don't send in the military to read Miranda rights people, right. The military action is not you know, police action, right. It is not like, oh, well, we're going to send them out with you know, tasers and flex cuffs and bring them
all in for questioning. The military is diplomacy failed. You should have negotiated, you should have complied when we told you, and you didn't, and now we're going to make you stop posing a threat to our country.
And the stronger and more.
Focused our military is, the more effective our state department can be, the more effective our Homeland security department can be, the more secure our border can be. And these are the objectives, and that's the root of it. People at the end of the day don't want the border secure, they don't want the black market closed off, and they want to military that isn't designed to fight and win
decisive battles. They want these nebulous continue on forever. I mean, these are the same kind of people that sent the JAG officers over to say, well, you know, you were trying to kill this guy over in Afghanistan before. But Now, you can't really kill him. You know, you could kill him over here, but you can't kill him there. And yeah, it looks like he's put an id out there, but you got to wait until you take direct fire from somebody.
These are the stupidest things that they come up with, and they need to stay the heck away from the warriors that are out there doing what needs to be done to defend our country.
And you may have recalled during that disastrous leaving of Kabbo Afghanistan, the desertion of our duties ordered by Joe Biden. He sent drones over to take out a couple of white trucks that had eight children and four women inside the trucks. It was the goal was to kill a couple of terrorists. They might have killed a couple of terrorists, but they killed about eight children and four women in the process. And the Democrats did not raise the stink at all, did they.
Yeah, they Saint Obama to them, right, I mean, he could do no wrong. Everything was great, even when he killed an American who was like sixteen. And I'm not complaining. I think you know, this guy had made himself an enemy of our country. You know, there were a lot of smarter ways to wage the war on terror, and there's been very little accountability for those people that waged it. But it's been disappointing to watch veterans, you know, particularly some of these guys who who were part of the
reason we were not succeeding in the war. They're anxious to hold everybody in the lower ranks accountable all day, but there's never any accountability for the generals. And now they're out there commentating from the side, trying to tear down peak HEADSEF. And note that all it appears to be well coordinated, right So right after the Seditious Six go out and release their video about this, the whole media thing comes in. So you know, it wasn't like
some naive set of coincidences. I do believe their coincidences. That video was not one of them. This is a coordinated operation and it's designed to sow discord and dissent within our militaries, designed to undermine the current channe of command and weaken our country. It's horrendous that this is even going on, and it's even more horrendous to me that it's being tolerated and talked about seriously.
Well, on another issue.
Sometime a week or so, the Senate is going to take up they agree to take up, I have a vote on the extension of Obamacare. Can you briefly describe what was promised by Obamacare in the beginning, how it turned out, and why I would anticipate you think a wooden stake needs to go into the heart of Obamacare.
Yeah, you know.
Of course, it's called the Affordable Care Act, and the Obama branded it, and the whole promise was that it would make health care more affordable.
Right.
It obviously hasn't succeeded in that. Now, I won't say there were nothing out of it that came to be effective. I mean, now you can keep your kids on your plan until they're twenty six, if you've got like a family plan, you've got a way to cover pre existing conditions and things like that where people found themselves kind of locked out of access to healthcare. So that those
are things that are broadly bipartisan and supported. And even when Republicans were trying to perform this back in twenty seventeen, there were things that were preserved. But what fundamentally they do is of the As Obamacare continued to fail. In twenty one, they decided, you know, we need more subsidies to go to bail out the Obamacare and cover for the fact that it's failing. And they came up with has to be like the dumbest idea, which is, let's
give the subsidies direct to the health insurance companies. Now, you know, if you would give it to the doctors or hospitals, I mean, that might make sense. If you give it to the people who owe the hospital and doctor bills, that would make sense. But why would you give it to a middleman, particularly one that performance hasn't been good. I mean, in spite of all the subsidies, they didn't keep health care affordable. Now, their profit margins
have been phenomenal, their share prices have done great. In one of the top performing ETFs out there is a healthcare ETF has just been predictable as can be, soaring since Obamacare started pouring cash into the health insurance companies. But people are still getting double digit increases. They're still being out of pocket max rays, still being denied claims, still being told, oh that was out of network, all kinds of terrible service.
People can't stand the health.
Insurance company, even though they might say, you know, I had great doctors and nurses and the technology is great and everything else, the medical building process has been a disaster. And so instead of fixing that, Democrats want to continue to hide the failure of Obamacare and pretend that it's great with more subsidies. And so that's the challenge right here. And I think, you know, kudos to President Trump because he's talked about, you know, health freedom accounts where the
money would go directly to individuals. Yes, and you know, if you're going to subsidize something, that would be way smarter way to do it, and it would ultimately help reorient healthcare as the user is the person that pays for it, and then it could actually have function more like a market so that it would actually hold prices down and in at least increase service. If if you're going to have it out there, I mean, you know, they don't respond to the consumer in the current model.
And Congressman, I think Republicans do a bad job at pr And in this case, the average person thinks, somehow Republicans want to take away healthcare, when in reality, Republicans want quality healthcare centered around the patient and the Democrats want to give billions of dollars to the insurance companies, who then screw the patients and get campaign donations back. If you would ask the average person living in this country who wants to provide healthcare at little expense, the
answer would probably be the Democratic Party. But the average person doesn't understand that Obamacare gives subsidies directly to insurance companies hoping they hold down costs. They're not incentivized to do so, and they don't. Plus, some of the deductibilities are five to ten thousand dollars for each person you're out of network. The thing is collapsed and it's failed. Why should you subsidize a failure? And Obamacare is a failure, And so at some point the House may have to
vote on this thing. How would you vote in a week or two?
Well, look, I'm against just continuing the status quo of more subsidies for a failed plan. I mean, this is a crazy idea. And look, I will say Democrats, they've been sort of dancing to the same sheet music for a long time. They love Obamacare and they want it as a gateway drug to get single payer, you know, socialist health care, where the government runs everything. I mean, some of them want a true national system where the doctors and hospitals are operated by the government too.
That's really vacare for all.
And while the VA has moved a lot in the right direction since Trump's first term and a lot of good reform packages, I mean, you don't have the same kinds of problems in a lot of our private sector hospitals that you've had in VA with you know, veteran care. So I don't think that's something should be replicated for everybody. What we should do is continue to do the part that works. I mean, most Americans get their insurance to
their employer, happy with it. And the trouble is is that it works fine if you get a job at Procter and Gamble or something, a huge employer, and they they have great plans and everything else like that, they're great company. But if you look at a small business you get twenty employees, one person gets cancer, they want to spread that risk over twenty people. Well, that doesn't
that doesn't share the risk pool big enough. So part of the reforms that Republicans had was to put the high cost to ensured a high risk pool that would take that out of the insurance market, so the Medicaid dollars would go to that. Then regular health insurance would
have less. Some of the you know, five or ten most expensive things wouldn't even have to be covered by anybody, they'd be so that that would be the subsidy, and it would go to treat these things that are just super expensive to treat, and normal health care, normal access to health care for your common conditions. People you know, have a baby and you know, want to want to
do maternity and all this stuff. Those kinds of things would would be lower because you're not subsidizing the super high expensive stuff they're because you're doing cancer treatments with the same twenty employees, right, And so changing that risk model is are things that aren't sexy, they aren't flashy, they don't mark it well, but they really do lower costs. And so those are the kinds of things we have
to do. And I think you know President Trump's onto something is if you do want to extend the subsidies, let's make sure we send them money to the people and let them buy the plan they want.
That's the other thing.
Obamacare mandated that everybody has to have a standard package of insurance, so you couldn't customize it anymore.
And you know, if you.
Look at some of the advertisers on TV, they've made a mint talking about, well, customize it by the things you want from your car, your home, or everything else.
But when it comes to healthcare, you can't do that.
You got to buy the whole package.
I don't need transgender services, I don't need abortion care, I don't need all kinds of stuff, and I buy one the insurance that fits my needs at this particular point, and one size does fit all, and that spreads the premiums over a large group of people that none of whom need the care for some of the things that have been ordered. Well, Congressman Warren Davids who we've got
to go. The affordability crisis is here and is caused by the policies of the Democrat Party, and instead of taking responsibility for it, they want to make things more unaffordable, such as rents, utility expenses, and healthcare costs. And I hope our conversation informed the American people as to what
the plan is. And the Democrats want to keep the campaign donations coming from the insurance companies and Donald Trump and you want to give the subsidies directly to the insured person and let that person decide what they specifically need. Then costs go down. And Warren Davidson, once again, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and Merry Christmas and a happy near to you. Warren Davidson, You're doing a great job.
Thank you.
Yeah, Merry Christmas, Happy neuity to you and to all your lists.
Bless you all, God, bless America. Thank you very much. That guy went to West Point a Notre Dame. Pretty good guy, been a ranger and he stands with Pete Hegseth. These things happen in the military. They're not the welcome wagon that they don't go there with with with the idea that how do we save narco traffickers. Their goal was to put that that boat at the bottom of the Caribbean. And if it takes two strikes to do it, so be it. Let's continue with more Bill Cunningham, with
you every Sunday. Billy Cunningham, the Great American is Christmas approaches. I want to wish you and yours and merry Christmas in the happy New Year, and remember what the season is all about. But I especially want to thank tonight Wayne Olan Route for coming on. He has the President's here, and when he talks about the idea of cutting off government benefits to illegal aliens, I think that would be
a given. In fact, most of the polling on the issue indicates that we agree with the President and agree with Wayne Alan Root on that issue. And as far as Pete Hegseth he is, the price is to Jore and the Democrats come up all the time with more and more reasons to hate Donald Trump and Jade Vance and everyone connected to the Trump administration.
So it's not going to stop.
Get ready, and as Jeff Crewer said earlier tonight, it is critical that the midterm election have a Trump turnout so that Trump agenda can't continue. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with you every Sunday night.
