2-2-24 Bill Cunningham Show

And supposedly is going to be voting on Wednesday. We'll see what happens there. But first of all, Representative Bill Sites is with us now from the Columbus area. He's up there now as the House Majority leader, making sure that everything is done right in the state of Ohio. And Bill Sites, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Two or three issues. Bill.

First of all, this is your last year in the State House. You've had a twenty to thirty year distinguished career, and you decided to go out and smell the roses and take some time off and actually become a lawyer again and do what you're going to do. When you reflect on the past twenty or thirty years in the State House, what two or three things come up in your mind as being great accomplishments of Bill Sites. Well, I'll put

this in a very important context. When I started in two thousand and one, the state of Ohio had nine different income tax brackets and the maximum rate was north of seven percent. Over my twenty three years General Assembly, House and Senate, we have whittled away and whittled away. So now as a result of what we just voted on last year, we are down to only

two fracets and the maximum rate is three point five percent. That's I'm pretty proud of that because we have the lowest match TAC income tax rate of any state in the Midwest except Indiana. They're a little lower than us. And now as I prepare to leave do the term limits, some of my colleagues are proposing further reductions that will take us to a zero percent income tact in

twenty twenty eight or twenty thirty. I won't be there, sort of like you know, Moses didn't get to see the Promised Land either, right, But I won't be there. But I'm very proud of that. It has made Ohio more competitive, and we've done it responsibly. We've done it responsibly. We still have a triple A rated bond rating. We still have a three billion dollar rainy day surplus, so we have gone in an incremental way, and I'm very proud of the way we went about it. Number two

tourt reform. Ohio was a judicial hellhole, and in the first four years I was there, we passed twenty four different tourt reform bills. A statue to repose shortened statutal limitations put non economic damage taps on these cases and a host of others, and the Ohio Supreme Court has upheld that, whereas, as you may know, they struck down previous attempts at tort reform before my

time. So I'm very proud of that because I was a leader in that field, and frankly, on criminal justice issues, I've introduced some bills that have stiffened penalties and other bills that have more responsibly relaxed penalties or recognized the need for rehabilitation and services to truly rehabilitated criminals. So I've played it on both sides of the street. But I'm very proud of my record there too.

Let's deal with number one, which is the income tax. I've seen liberal opinions that this is a fiscal insanity by Bill Sitz and others in Columbus to take the income tax and Ohio to zero. Where does the money come from? So answer the question that Tony Bender and other liberals might have and said, it's already. It's already down to three point five percent for rich people like him, and it's graduated so you don't pay it on the first

dollar you paid. If you well over six figures. The income. Yeah, yeah, it's three and a half percent on only on the increment over one hundred thousand dollars. Everything under one hundred thousand dollars is only two point seventy five percent at present. Now, where do you get the money from? Because, as I understand it, give give the American people a rough number when you came in in two thousand and one, what was the total

state spending at that point? And what is total state spending today in twenty twenty four, and then answer the question where does the money coming? So how much money was the state spending in two thousand and one about I don't have that number off the top of my head, but my belief is it was right around sixty billion dollars all funds, and that includes the Medicaid funds

that we get largely from the federal government. Now that number is closer than ninety billion dollars, again all funds, and a lot of that money is Medicaid money that the federal government gives us sixty percent of every Medicaid dollar and we have to pony up forty percent, and that money is used to provide care to old people in nursing homes and poor people in clinics. So the spending has increased, but our TEXTA seats have increased. Sales tax receipts lately

have been quite robust. In part that's because the US Supreme Court now allows states like Ohio to tax Internet purchases whereas before they couldn't. That has brought in big new revenue. And of course all the federal spending in the pandemic brought in a lot of sales tax receipts. We have additional good sources revenue. For ten years, we have been trying to force the Ohio government, the governor, to drill for gas in our state park through fracking, which

is underground. It does not affect the park at all. It is way underground, a mile deep. But the estimates are that we could get a one point eight billion just out of the gas reserves in the sulf Fork Park over there in eastern Ohio. So the proponents of this further reduction and income tax are looking at a combination of sales tax increases, increased drilling, and

then finally they're looking at increased economic activity as tax rates go down. They're hoping that people will move back from Florida and Tennessee and the places to which they have skidaddled. But as I say, I won't be there for this, but I look, we have done it responsibly. We have not just cut it all at once. I don't think you can cut it all at

once. Great. To be fair to Tony Bender and others, there is something to be said for having a tax system that is a three legged stool that is built in part on income tax, in part on property tax, and in part on sales tax. Because you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. Right. But being said, or Dilligan and the Republicans have been a guest that ever since. So you know, that's been the main targets of our tax cutting furmore. Although, yeah, we also

eliminated the death tax in Ohio, proud of that. We eliminated the corporate income tax in Ohio, proud of that. We eliminated the personal property tax and the inventory tax, proud of that. So we have been cutting taxes in Ohio, and we are very competitive with other Midwestern states who do not have beaches and eighty five degree weather for nine months a year. So we're doing pretty well. Bill Sides, I would say there's been a fifty percent

increase in state spending in the last twenty three twenty four years. And if you would have those three legs of the same stool, my vote would be to maybe keep a one percent state income tax above one hundred thousand dollars. That would provide some money. But obviously Ohio compared to what Ohio has done the relative to California, Illinois, New York, all the taxes that have

been elimited, it is truly unbelievable. And you may not think it's a big deal, but when large corporate America comes and looks at a state, one of the main things they look at is the cost of locating there to their employees. And when you have a state there's little or no income tax, you have no death tax, and you have no corporate income tax. That causes more companies like Intel to say, you know what, we're going to all the water that we have in the flat land that we have in

the receptive government. That's why Ohio is moving forward. But secondly, before we go on to the next issue, which is the death penalty and the nitrogen gas, when you look at the chaos happening in a major American cities in Ohio, especially Cincinnati. And I spoke last night in Warren County, and I love Warren County. You would love Warren County. And because of the people there and the and the little or no taxes, the way government

works, you would love living in Lovin in Ohio. And I was there and it's functional. Can you give us a general sense of what's happening in our major cities when it comes to law enforcement and spending and riots and mobs and looting, and lawmakers cannot stop that. But give me your sense for many still in many major cities in Ohio and across the country, there are they are short staff of police officers. Yes, Cincinnati is short staff,

somewhere between one hundred and three hundred police officers just right here. You combine that with the defund the police movement that came about after the George Floyd incident a few years ago, and then you combine that with a healthy dose of people that believe that we don't need to enforce these laws very strictly. We can. We can be nice and have restorative justice and be kind and be generous, and maybe these folks will restore them to good order on their own.

Some will, many won't, and that's a real problem. And I know our good prosecutor here, Missy Powers, is very much on top of this, and the voters in Hamilton County have put in some judges that are pretty pretty much on the liberal side of things, and that is part of the problem. I'd worked downtown, Bill, as you know, and I'm currently kind of laid up with a born achilles tendon in my left leg and

a microfracture of my femur in my right legs. I'd be a right target for these mobs coming up and down Fifth Street and Sixth Street because our office is on Fifth Street. People are nervous, But we need to build those police forces back up to their appropriate strength, and we need to respect and honor the police because a lot of people don't want to be in the police pirates anymore because they're afraid of getting pinched for doing something wrong. So therefore

they just sit in their cruiser and wait to be called. They're not being proactive, and I frankly find it hard not I don't blame them, because every time they are proactive and they do something that somebody's going to jump up and down and say, well, that's police brutality. So I get it. But these are all contributing factors, in my opinion, to the in

particular the juvenile crime wave that we seem to be seeing right now. And we'd like to flap our jaws and talk about it, but it's not going to change these judges that come out the juvenile court judge that we have several in common police court came out of a system of college and law school in which they're now in their thirties, forties and fifties, and they want to

implement what they've been told is happening. And so whether it's a rape case that doesn't that gets a book report, or it's a murder case thirty years ago that Judge Wendy Cross wanted to reopen and spend four days in a post conviction relief hearing to look back in time to see who killed Nathan wrote to Nathan and whether or not that was the right thing. Twenty four judges looked at it, Democrats and Republicans and said it is. You can't change that

mindset. And I watched the other fifty large American cities collapse, and we're the one that has a Republican prosecutor that's a conservative, and that's Missy Powers. The other forty nine have gone completely south. And I've given up the idea of convincing left wing Marxist liberal judge progressive judges that they're wrong, because they're not going to say we're wrong. They're going to say you and I

are wrong. But we watch what's happening, and if somehow the message could be sent from Columbus which won't be heard, that progressives and that restorative justice and white supremacy and white privilege and all the other kind of crap is not the way things ought to be in this in this country, good luck with that, because they're not going to change. We have a juvenile court judge

completely out of control. And when you talk to cops, they tell me the same thing cops used to report to duty and it didn't have a nine one one call. They pick up a handful Warrens and say, well, in District three, let's try to find ten of these ten of these individuals that let's go hunting for them. None of that happens anymore, and you're

not going to chase anybody. In fact, in Cincinnati, they don't pull people over for traffic offenses because of what they might find, and that begins the collapse of American society that we're seeing on the streets of Cincinnati today. Well, well, you know, Bell, you're a higher percent right. You're particularly right to fault the law schools because they are just bastions of liberalism.

And that's absolutely true. But let me just point this out, just like they can't give pickets for traffic, just like they're not serving warrants. If you think, as some people apparently do, that the solution to chronic absenteeism in our schools is to hire more truancy officers and more school resource officers. A that's pretty damned expensive, and be the cops have plenty more to do than that. That would be low on missy powers list of priorities.

Bring parents in on a failure to send you your kid to school case it would be expensive and she doesn't have the time or resources to do it. So you know, that's why you've got to be looking for other solutions. You've got to be looking for ways that we can instill personal responsibility while I'm

still incentivizing good behavior. I'll say that now I wanted to talk briefly about the death penalty because I believe in the death penalty for the worst of the worst, and I've passed numerous pieces of legislation that actually take the death penalty away from folks who are seriously mentally ill at the time they committed the crime. And I worked with Justice Eve Stratton, Republicans Supreme Court justice who was known as the Velvet Hammer, to get that done. But I still believe

in the death penalty for the worst of the worst. My colleagues have introduced a new bill that would introduce the concept of nitrogen gas to gather them to death. Well, I'm not opposed to that necessarily, but being a lawyer of forty eight years, I can tell you that until the US Supreme Court says that this is an acceptable method of execution, right, we probably shouldn't do it, because the Left and the liberals will just appeal and appeal and

appeal and say that, well, this nitrogen gas hasn't been tested. It's cruel, it's unusual. You know, they'll bring every appeal known demand and that would simply further delay the administration of the death penalty. So what I think we should do is go back to something that the Supreme Court of the United States has already said is constitutionally permissible, and that is the the fire

squad. Sparky and sparky, right right, right, So, and you know, the guy down in Alabama apparently spent twenty two minutes dying of nitrogen gas, but if it was a firing squad, it would be you know, five seconds. Yeah, So you know, I just I think my colleagues need to need to consider at least a backstop to their proposal, because the problem in recent years has been the pharmaceutical companies will not sell the drugs that we used to use to intubate death penalty prisoners and kill them. The

pharmacy companies won't do it anymore. So what is the wine done. He's commuted and extended their sentence and extended their sentence, which is not fair of the victims. Frankly, so I applaud my colleague for wanting to get this issue back on the table. I don't think they're necessarily going about it in the best way because all the new method is going to do is prompt a new round of ACLU appeals based on the concept that this is somehow cruel and

unusual. Yeah, well, Bill Sides, you have a few months remaining in your term. Your term limited out. You're going to go into the vineyards and start making the Grapes't be drinking the wine anymore in the big House. But I want to thank you as a citizen because when I talk to those in Columbus of both parties, you've been known as the conscience of the General Assembly because you know where the bodies are buried. You're bright, you

understand. Because of you, people pay less taxes because of you. Cops have more powers because of you. Runaway jurys can't do what they want to do. Because of you, Ohio has been a more livable place and no one has done more and better work the past twenty five years. And Bill Sites and the Senate and in the House, I want to thank you for your service. Maybe we'll do an exit interview later this year. But keep doing what you're doing for about another ten months and then go into the vineyards

and make the grapes. We'll do. Thank you, my friends, and have a great weekend to you and all your listeners. Thank you, God bless America. Let's continue with more that state Representative Bill Sitz, and he rattled off the things that have happened in the past twenty three years. Imagine of California, New York, Illinois was run like that. But the big issue is to fund more cops and get them on the streets. The issue

CPD needs another one to two hundred. The county Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey needs more corrections officers to pay more money. In the City of Portland, they're paying their new cops one hundred and ten thousand dollars a year and the job is worth that and more. So let's continue with more if a line becomes available. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WLW. I always wanted to learn Spanish,

but I never thought i'd have the time. Then I discovered bappel mar Cincinnati, and he's got one hell of an investment. We need more. You know, in life economically, there's large waves and there's small ripples. And if you're talking about John Barrett, talk about the Joseph Automotive family, you talk about the lenders, you're talking about the big tsunamis. Big waves

do big things. But then the American society operates because of all the small ripples, people like you and I that live our lives well, keep a low profile, spend money, educate kids, meet a woman, meet a guy, get married, have a family, and move on. And also the single folks out there, men and women who would never think about committing a vicious crime, who simply take care of their own business. Play a little pickleball, a little golf, little tennis, a little paddle ball,

walk, play little cards, whatever it might be. So if you think an American economy like an ocean, every now and then there's a tsunami, a large crashing wave that does big things. John Barrett putting that tennis tournament and keeping it the Cincinnati Open in Mason, Ohio is a big wave because that's every year, fourteen All Star games in a row every night. It's literally millions and millions of people spending hundreds of millions of dollars, and it's

a beautiful thing. But then when a person you in Green Township go to a Walmart or a Target or a Kroger, you're also participating greatly in the American economy. So the ocean is filled with lots of high waves. And small waves and small little ripples, all of which go together to make up the United States of America. And so what's happened the last few days, And we've spent a lot of time talking about it, hoping that Cincinnati does not become Detroit, and at this point it isn't, but in five or

ten years it could. It could happen because there were big, large companies in all these other American cities who simply dissipated and left. So our goal is to shine a light on those doing evil things in the city of Cincinnati, so it changes the course of what they intend. This fall and next

year and the year after that. You will go to the polls and vote for judges and prosecutors, and you will determine whether or not Cincinnati continues to be the shining city on the Hill or becomes Detroit, or downtown Chicago or Portland. Every American city has taken large hits. Columbus is another one, or Dayton. Denny from Dayton tells me that downtown Dayton has become a wasteland

because of crime and high costs. When we have people like Bill Sites in charge of the legislature, he run over the numbers with you about how the taxes under his administration have come down every year and the sales tax or other taxes have gone up. The worst kind of tax to have is a property tax, which someone cannot control spending to adjust their own property taxes. One

could not shop somewhere and not pay a sales tax. But if you simply exist in Hamilton County or Green County or Butler County and your taxes have gone up twenty to fifty percent, that's a problem because you can't elect not to participate. You can't elect to leave and become homeless. You can't elect generally to go live with family and friends. You want to keep your house.

There ought to be something that above retirement AHA sixty five or seventy, that your taxes for real estate purposes are cut in half or put off to the side until the property is sold, and then the state collects its portion. That way, the cash flow of a senior citizen a retired teacher is used not in paying taxes without getting additional benefits, but are used for everyday living expenses, all of which, by the way, will enhance the American economy.

So this idea would say that if you're over sixty five or seventy and don't have a great income and few assets, that you could stay in your home, pay half of the tax, put the other half off to the side, and when the property is sold down the road and you don't need it anymore, that the tax is collected at that point, and that way older folks can folks can stay in their home and enjoy the vicissitudes of life. I spent yesterday, the last night in Warren County and Lebanon at the

Armstrong Convention Center, so to speak. It's a little it's not quite a

convention center, it's a meeting room. And I spoke to some great War County residents and I made the remark that Cincinnati has a little bit of a population growth up to about three hundred and five thousand when it used to be five hundred and five thousand, lost about forty percent of population, and that more and more of us are moving to Warren County, Boone County, Kenton County, and Butler County because, let's face it, lower cost less,

fear of crime. There was a point three or four years ago in Kenton County when there was not one murder in Kenton County the entire year. And John Barrett makes a very great point that compared to other cities, Cincinnati is doing great. What other small city in America have the Reds Bengals FC, professional tennis and all the arts that we have in Cincinnati. Music Hall, the orchestra, the symphony, and the dancing, the ballet. It's all

here. And the reason that the arts are here in such strong measure is because of the great State Senator Stanley Aronoff, who passed away yesterday at the age of ninety one. I did not know him well, but I saw him at many events, always dressed in a dapper fashion. His life enriched those throughout the tri State, as the life of Bill Sitz has enriched all of us by imposing shall I say, conservative principles and getting the state income

tax down to a very low number. And it's going to go even lower because there's ways of collecting that tax without in burdening many Americans. And so yes, we're at a precipice that when you have judges like Judge Bloom and Juvenile Court who believes in restorative justice, doesn't want to hold criminals accountable for rape and murder and a bunch of other kicking people in the teeth in downtown

Cincinnati. That's a big problem, but it is solvable. It is solvable if you've become literate as far as what these judges are doing to our community and act accordingly, then we can turn the corner and do other good and great things. It begins at the out at box to have informed citizens. And I ran into yesterday a good candidate for the Clerk of Courts in Warren County named Scott and Mail, m A. L. E. Scott Mail wants to be the Clerk courts in Warren County and he spent like more than

thirty years in law enforcement. And I'm always feel great about someone who wants to protect tax dollars, support law enforcement, provide accessibility in accounting accountability, and Scott Mail and Warren County will do that as the Clerk of courts. So I run into these people and I'm thinking, well, you know, there's all kinds of things great happening in the Tri State. Of the two point two million persons who live in the Tri State, three hundred thousand live

in the city of Cincinnati. That means one point nine million of two point two do not live in the city of Cincinnati, but because the media is located here, it disproportionally reports on business in the city of Cincinnati. So I'm optimistic. You have to be Why be pessimistic? How does that of anything? You got to be optimistic in life and look forward and say you know tomorrow is going to be a better and a brighter day, otherwise you

get depressed and unhappy. What happened with these kids running amok was completely preventable if you take the approach of they committed serious crime, they committed adult crime, give them adult time, and the message is sent to the small number, small percentage of scalaw waggs running around committing crime in the city of Cincinnati

and making life almost unbearable. And so these problems are completely solvable. Secondly, coming up after one o'clock today, I have Leland Vittert of News Nation Leland Vittert and watching this show the last few nights of News Nation, and there's a large protest happening in Ireland, England, France, Germany, Holland and Spain that the farmers, the cultural and elites are coming after farming in Europe as if people can get along without eating. The climate elites are the

worst. These are the ones who throw Kansas soup at Mona Lisa to try to destroy it. And so in Ireland, the Ireland authorities have ordered Ireland farmers to kill two hundred thousand cows and to kill pigs and sheep and chickens and all the rest because of the environmental damage created by these farm animals. Damn it. That's how we eat, That's how we live. Nothing better than a double cheeseburger, we catch a onion and pickle from Wendy's. I

love the fries at McDonald's. Nothing better than a three way, or Thanata's pizza. It's all good stuff. But to live the life we want to live, we got to eat. But the skinny dungey green wearing elites don't want that to happen. So what's happening in Europe, which is not well publicized, is that thousands of farmers have taken their tractors and gone to the major cities, whether it's Paris or Dublin, or whether it's Bond in Germany

or in Spain. And what they're doing is encircling government buildings and spraying farming excrement all over the streets, and they're also filling up the streets with dirt dumping. Eight thousand farmers have converged in and around Paris to protest the rules and regulations about farming today. That they can't use tractors unless they're electric, that the fertilizer is killing the land, that you have farm animals that produce

methane through flatulence, and they want that to stop. And so the French government, reacting to those fellow travelers, are enacting these terrible rules and regulations about farming. Imagine America without trucks and farmers. Everything we own and use is brought to us by truck, and everything we eat is produced by a farmer. And Leyland Viddert last night made the point that what happens in Europe

today will come to America tomorrow. So the video is unbelievable of Paris being shut down by about four thousand tractors and circling interchanges, interstates and also governmental buildings and telling the Parisians that we can't live like this. You eat and you drink because of what we do, and it's getting too expensive and the inflation is killing them. To order a farm or to kill his animals is an intifada to them. They can't do it. And farmers don't get three

day weekends, farmers don't get holidays. Cows got to be milked every day, Chickens have to be fed. It's a twenty four to seven job. It's tough, and more and more are leaving, causing the prices to rise

precipitously, and that is what's coming to the Night States of America. There are thousands and thousands of farmers in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, hundreds of thousands in Michigan, Georgia, North and South Carolina, in California that are going to join this protest at some point saying we can't take it anymore, we can't make money, that the elites are putting them out of business. And it's pursuing a goal that's already been reached, which is good climate policy.

Clean air and clean water is what we have right now. And we have no idea whether last year was the hottest year on record. That's a bunch of bovine' skatology. We didn't keep records till about one hundred and fifty years ago, and I would anticipate one hundred and fifty years ago, nobody kept accurate records. They didn't exist, so we don't know. And those taking the measurements tend to take them in cities as opposed to the countryside.

And those who take the numbers have a reason to lie and to enhance them because they want to to find out put of more club cmate alarmism. Climate alarmism is everywhere, right and so I want you to listen after one o'clock to what's occurring right now in Europe with the protests. There's no process like this in India or in China or Russia, because in two or three of those countries you'd be shot or thrown off the land. Anyway, people don't

own land. What they do is they get a license to a farm that can be yanked by the government at any moments notice. But without farming. Especially with an extra one hundred million persons living in America who are not Americans coming in the next ten or twenty years, we need more and more farming. We need more cows and pigs and sheep, We need more land.

We need all that, and we don't have it because we have a radicalism loose in Washington right now, and a radicalism on the bench in Hamilton County that is bringing about things they seek to avoid. So stay tuned for that after one o'clock today. But the video is really unbelievable of hard working, scrabbled farmers who can't farm anymore because the government rules and regulations that make it impossible. So so many are quitting right now that the cost of goods are

going way up. The less you have, the more we have in Europe and in America, more demand and less supply. When you have more demand and less supply, prices go up. So it's harder and harder. When I talk to farmers like Bobby Henderson, Bobby Henderson's a farmer, he tells me it's more and more difficult to farm, and it's more difficult because the

governmental rules and regulations from Washington and Columbus. So that's going to be the big fight of the next ten or twelve years, whether we will have a country based upon reasoned based upon facts and based upon science, or based upon political ideology. We do not have a climate crisis. We do not the hottest days we ever had in this country. We're in the nineteen thirties,

not now to say last year was the hottest year ever is ridiculous. Records weren't kept until one hundred and fifty years ago, and one hundred and fifty years ago, no accurate records were ever kept. They're making it up to justify a defined conclusion, and hopefully wouldn't allow that to take place. But I will stay here and fight like a warrior poet for the city that I love and the place that I live, and it's where I keep all my

yesterday's and tomorrow's is right here in the tri State. This is where I want to live. And I will fight like a warrior poet and make public the wrong acts of judges and hopefully that'll change their opinion. I think the outcry calls Juvenile Court to keep two of those juveniles who were wilding in the streets of Cincinnati because the public outcry, And if there wasn't a public outcry,

she would have released everybody. We need different judges than Carrie Bloom, who's a left wing ideologue who puts a rapist back on the streets on condition that he write a report that is utterly ridiculous. So let's continue with more. If a line becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand and about ten twelve minutes or so, we're going to have h Leland Viddert about what's happening in Europe, what the farmers are doing.

I can't imagine the Olympics coming off this summer in Paris without something major occurring, because it's a hotbed of radicalism right now. Whether it's what's happening in Gaza, what's happening in Israel, what's happening with the farmers, what's happening just a general disgust with government in general and the way people are forced to live. Weve got to be able to get a double cheeseburger from Wendy, so we catch a bunion and pickle. We have to eat. The

elites don't want you to eat. They want you to pay higher prices, which gives more control to government and less control you have over your own life. Oh, let's continue. Reds Baseball kicks off, believe it or not, in about three weeks right here at your home of the Reds and Karen Kraft News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati, Saturday nineties. So it's showtime. Sean Miller's Musketeers head to the Windy City to get it on with the

ball. How about that nothing but that's a Peaky's primetime show. People get the call live from Wing Trust Areena tomorrow ninety nine on seven hundred wl W and seven hundred wl w's live stream of the Pretty iHeart Radio app. Damnage decayed, painful or poorlier store teeth can be replaced one or all. Bill

cunning in the Great American. Of course, later on we scheduled Senator Rand Paul to come in and talk about what's going to happen on Wednesday with the bill, the Illegal Alien Bill, which according to media accounts which may be accurate or not, that the Republicans Mitch McConnell may a streamline five thousand per

day coming into this country illegally before certain powers kick in. But one person is covering these issues and so much more for a long time, as Leland vidtert of News Nation on every night Eastern time at seven o'clock and Leland Vedert, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Leland I want to go off base a little bit here because I watch you most Monday through Friday at seven o'clock on News nation. You've been covering a story about the farmers in

Europe. We have explain, explain that place not American farmers. We appreciate the loyalty bill. These are farmers in Europe and it is a class warfare between the climate elites in Europe, which are a lot more active and successful relatively speaking, in the climate elites in the United States have been They are the model for green energy restrictions on farmers, admissions restrictions, pollution restrictions. In Ireland, the government wanted to kill two hundred thousand cows to meet climate

goals. And the farmers across Europe are revolting. They have pumped manure into government buildings and around government buildings. They have laid dirt down on highways. They've driven their tractors and combines to surround government buildings. Quote from a fellow where we talked to over who's covering this, and this is from an Irish farmer. The whole farming community right across Europe are being decimated by politicians in

the green agenda, which is demonizing farmers as criminals in food production. And you know this, the ideas and the restrictions on personal liberty that starting Europe, come to America. What six months later, twelve months later, It's just it's a continuation. And there's now a trending hashtag on Twitter and Europe, no farmers, no food, right. This sort of goes to the very basics of a society. And farmers aren't one to normally complained, but

they and their hearty bunch were grateful for them. I know a lot of your listeners are farmers, but at some point, when you can't make any money and you're working as hard as they do, they get irritated. And that's what's happening. As far as what's happening in Europe, it's not well covered here in America. I'm glad you're doing it because farmers get up every day. There's no holidays, there's no three day weekends, there's no time

off. It's twenty four to seven. And without farming, without farmers, we don't eat. And the climate elites in Europe want to throw Kansas soup on the Mona Lisa as an indication of their green agenda. And if you don't have farming, we have a serious problem. And can you go over the two or three things that European governments are forcing the farmers to do that

make no sense. Doesn't improve the climate, doesn't improve the environment. What are the two or three things if you're in Ireland, if you're in England killed two hundred thousand cows because of methane because of the flatulence. And German farmers in France are more radical. And I don't know if the Olympics this summer are going to come off. I look at the climate elits and what they do to the Mona Lisa. I can only imagine what they're going to

do to the US Olympic, to the Olympic teams in Paris. But what are the two or three things that the farmers find so objectionable they're willing to leave their farms, leave their animals and spread manure all over Paris. Explain

the two or three things? Well, I think you said the first one is the killing of their animals, right, And that's not just an idea in Ireland that has been proposed by the European Union in various countries for them for those countries to meet the climate quote unquote goals or requirements they're put on. There's severe restrictions on the type of the type of ways that farmers can farm in the environmental regulations they have to go through. That means they have

to change the way they farm. That makes it not only unprofitable, it means they lose money. And third of all, there's the taxes and dot dot dot. The restrictions on diesel fuel, which obviously is a huge input, means people have to buy new farming equipment and have to if you have to use your old farming equipment, it costs a lot more. So in

each of the countries, there are slightly different UH issues at play. I think what you can kind of get caught pretty, you know, deep in the weeds of you know, what what size engine can attract or have in this country, and on and on and on. The larger issue I think is the class the class war issue, right of of this sort of climate elite of folks who believe in climate orthodoxy and saving the planet from admissions of any type, and that by limiting admissions from cows you can somehow cool the

planet off. They believe this, and they believe that the UH ends justify the means, right, so and they're you know, they don't really care. They're gonna fly their private jets anyway, so they have no problem enforcing these restrictions on on farmers and then making the rest of just pay the prices for it. And as far as inflation in Europe, we have an inflation problem here, but it's nothing like Europe because there's only a few thousand farmers

in France who feed about one hundred and twenty five million people. And if you say to a farmer, you got to kill your chickens, kill your cows, kill your lamb, kill your pigs, and then we're going to have confiscatory prices on diesel fuel, electric tractors don't exist. And then say also the fertilizers being used has to all change that the elites out of these colleges and universities or have these theories. When theories meet reality, normally reality

wins. Is there a sense Leland Vidder of News Nation. Is there a sense that the politicians are going to back off, especially in Ireland where they're telling the farmers to kill their to kill their farm animals because of flatulence. Is there a sense the elites are listening? Or will prices continue to rise in Europe going right down the tubes because they can't eat well, they've backed off in France. So far, there's been no cow killing in Ireland yet,

but the farmers are still quite angry. I read you that quote earlier from one farmer who we've been following in this, Michael Murphy, who's a former UK Telegraph reporter who's been going around the countries of Europe reporting on this issue and the spread from Portugal all the way through the Netherlands of this movement. Emanuel McCrone, the president of France, according to Michael's reporting, has backed off a very little bit. He wants to quell the quote. Peasants

revolt is what McCrone has called it. And and this is quoting Michael. Meanwhile, mister McCrone was in coat tails dining with Swedish royals in Stockholm. It doesn't get more late than that. Do you see this coming to America? Can you see there are farmers in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa. Believe it or not, there's a huge farming community in California. In fact, California produces most of our produce. Uh right, And you said

they said, was it's gonna happen here? Three Trade agreements is another one of their big complaints. And where I'm from in northern far northern Michigan, the Cherry Capital of the of of America. The airport there is named Cherry Capital Airport, home of the National Cherry Festival up there in Traversity, Michigan. There's a lot of farmers now who it's not worth it for them to farm. They're they're letting their trees go because of cheap imports from Turkey.

So that people are angry. And I think, you know, you're going to see this spread quickly, and I think it's going to be fascinating to watch. There's a lot of there's a lot of farming in Georgia. There's a lot of farming in Pennsylvania. There's a lot of farming in North Carolina. Right, There's a lot of farming in Ohio. There's a lot of farming in Wisconsin. You want to talk about cows, go to Wisconsin. And I will ask you, as the great American, what do all those

states have in common that might be important in November electoral votes? Elector votes and when people can't get a double cheese burger from Wendy's, my favorite fast food restaurant, in some Chile and California is a great example. California is going down the tubes. A large percentage of our produce comes out of California. And if California farmers do what in Sacramento, what's happening in Paris six months or a year from now, then all hell's going to break loose.

And I don't think it'll happen to after the election goes. If the Democrats win and take the House, the Senate and the president's here or continue with it in November, and the policies are going to be implemented here and cracked down. I mean right now, Democrats are unhappy that we're producing more oil right now than Saudi Arabia or Russia. They don't like that. They think

that Biden has not really kept his promise on the environment. You can imagine what's happening in Madison, Wisconsin, and Columbus, Ohio, what's happening in Harris, Pennsylvania, or Sacramento, California. Florida has a huge, huge farming factor is Georgia. You can't feed three hundred and forty million Americans with climate elites work in the fields. And if in fact, the US Census

Bureau is corrected in about twenty five years. In the year twenty fifty, twenty fifty, we're going to have at least one hundred million more persons living in America, that many of whom are not citizens, and they have to eat, and they have to drink water, they have to use the environment. We need more farming, not less. We need more open land, not less. We need more more individuals in manufacturing and in transportation, not

less. And I watched the other day you had on or maybe it was Chris Cromo, the leader of the Teamsters, talking about maybe we're not going to endorse someone this year because they can't stand the fact that the current Democratic Party is so left wing. They've lost their way, and so it isn't Maybe some of the environmentmental rules and regulations of the EPA, etc. Are going to be held after the election and then be imposed because they're not they're

not backing down now. Secondly, you have seen, as I have, what happened in New York City, NYPD beating the crap out of those two in uniform cops. You spent time in New York. I spent five years there with my TV show, and from that I engendered great respect for NYPD under Giuliani and Bloomberg the best, the finest to watch two NYPD cops getting kicked in the head by illegal immigrants, then having one of them flipped the bird. They're supposedly on buses to go back to Mexico. There was no

bond set whatsoever. Yet you had that the marine named Penny, who saved the lives of fellow subway riders, who was locked up and given a big bond, And that's been an issue. So on Wednesday, when this bill is announced, all hell's about to break loose. How can you cover this incident in such a way to be objective, but you have to have particular feelings for cops that have treat their heads like soccer balls. What's your thought

on that. I looked at the video of the illegal immigrant who been let out on bail or let out with no bail after beating up the New York cops as the picture worth a thousand words, and in that it encapsulated everything that's happened over the past five years. Now, you can like what's happened, or you could not like west's happened. Eighty percent of Americans they were on the wrong track. I would suggest that that's one of the reasons.

Defund the police, no bail, sorrows, funded prosecutors who won't prosecute, sanctuary cities, Defund the police, open borders, free asylum for anybody who comes through. You could probably blue cities into decline. You could probably add a few more things that that picture captures. And again, I'm a journalist, you're a commentator. I ask questions, not make statements. Eighty percent

of Americans think the country's on the wrong track. Find there's twenty percent of Americas that look at that picture and go, hey, that's what we want. So there you go. That's kind of the In Europe they're called the climate elites. Here they're called progressives. And I can only imagine when a progressive can eat, that progress may become a conservative because everybody wants to eat. And I can't imagine the country staying on this course over the next several

years getting better results. And I don't know what's going to happen with all the attacks and what's happening right now with the American military going after the hooties and terrorist groups in I rock all hell's break and loose have you lived in a more tumultuous time in which people are at each other's throats, And that there's a sense that Trump should not be elected because of his peccadillos and the warfare. There's a sense that Democrats have controlled of the blue cities and blue

states is not going to change anytime soon. Leland vit or go to thirty thousand feet. And when you report on what's happening, don't you sense that America is almost in the Civil War footing, which I would find disgusting. I don't want anything like that to happen again. But why the angst that we feel is fundamental despite good numbers about the employment, despite good numbers on inflation might be three or four percent, to spite good numbers unemployment rate.

Isn't there a sense that the average American Democratic Republicans say that we're in trouble? Well, as Abraham Lincoln said and is often quoted, don't believe everything you read on the internet. And I would argue it a little differently.

And I think you're right to point out that how divided America is, but I would almost say that that is a function of how good everything is in America and how good everything has been for the past forty years since the Berlin Wall felt thanks to Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush and a strong America with meaningful foreign policy. And since then life's been pretty good. We face no existential threat. To nine to eleven was certainly terrible. The

financial crisis was bad, but price really really good here. That's why so many people want to come here, the millions who come across. You know, we're trying to break into other countries. And I would say, I think every I think the people who are so angry on Twitter and have such a vitriol, I don't think they have any idea how to even come close to having a civil war, because that we would involve for most of them

actually having to have courage of their convictions and follow through on that. I know, you say, oh well January sixth, and than the writers you can say, oh well, what about the BLM riots. But by and large you're talking about a very very small number of Americans, the vast majority of Americans. And then I talked to it. I think that we broadcast toy They want cheap gas, they want their kids to learn in school, they want a better life for their kids when they grow up. They want

to be able to retire and have their savings worth something. They want to be able to drive down the street without being carjacked. It's pretty basic desires, and I think that that intel we're able to fulfill those. You're going to have a lot of people who are very angry. But I think I think that the Civil War rhetoric, at least, you know, quoting Abraham

Lincoln, maybe a little far off. All right, Well, you know, everyone's life individually might be good, but everyone other's life is probably bad. And so that's the point that somehow our lives are good. But I if you can't watch the media and come away thinking, boy, we're in good shape in this country. Everything's good. Oh, don't believe it, you Bill, Bill, don't believe everything you see on TV. I do. I do. I believe everything that I see. No, I don't.

But the fact of the matter is that these are the best of times and the worst of times. It depends how you look at things. But Leland Vitter, thanks for coming on again. We'll keep the lines of communication open. I'll be watching and every night Monday through Friday on News Nation at seven o'clock and Leland Vitter thank you very much again for coming on the bill.

Kind of like what they did in Sarasota when they played the Pirates every other day, and you know, yeah in Bradenton and then in Sarasota at then tired old ed Smith Stadium, which is now a palace for the Baltimore Orioles. What did it just improve ed Smith Stadium? The Reds are putting up all the money, it said Sarasota County, said Knababana. I guess obviously they did, because the Reds are in ARIZONI now, you've been to Arizona

many times? Have you? I don't think so. You know, I went once with uh D wall Tools because the Matt Kansas was out there and I was the host with the most I gave a million dollars to a guy Willie from Delaware, Ohio on the start finish line in Phoenix Raceway. He drilled five screws into a piece of board, piece of wood. What are you talking about? Under five seconds? He won a million dollars in a twenty foot trophy. Say that again? This is for dwall tools. Don't

lie? You know last man? Do you have a million dollars to give him? No dwall tools? Down? He drilled? Who I'm not? Will you think I'm made of money like you? What's funny? Willis? Who drilled? Who? He five screws the fastest guy, five screws into a piece of wood. Why for dwall tools? They're drills a guy four point seven seconds and he got a million dollars, million dollars in a twenty foot trophy. Five screws correct. A million dollars for four point seven seconds?

Not too bad? Well, you gave him a million. I had to check in my hand and I said, sir, congratulations. Impossible. It's less than a second a drill, correct, Benny Willis wasn't that quick?

Yes, you did. That's the best thing about it. But that was stupid. It looks like Marvin Lewis is going to become the associate head coach Willie of the Las Vegas Raiders, and maybe Hugh Jackson maybe joining him in an offensive position. Offensive coaching position with the

Raiders. Well, he could become the head coach if the far the head coach out there. So Antonio Pierce is there and Marvin Lewis is going to be assistant head coaching him much. But I've always liked Marvin Lewis. I like him. Imagine the Bengals before he arrived. You might recall the Shula era. Do you recall that or not? Yep? What was that like? Yeah? Absolute disaster. And I went I made the trip to San Francisco, Willie when Darnay Scott would have caught a third down pass that would

have beaten the Niners years ago. And we come back and it's two o'clock in the morning and we're sitting there. We get off the plane and there's Jeff Butch Hopson, the then inchoir, standing there in the middle of the airport with nobody around, and I'm about twenty feet away, and he asked, Dave Shula, do you think you're gonna get fired tomorrow?

How about Bill Cosby? Put him in there, Bill Cosby, Jeffrey Epstein, Vince McMahon.

I think you put him in a cell together and see what happens. I'm going with Vince McMahon. Crap, Well that's true, you're right about that, but all of them are perverts, old man. I'd put him in a in a two. Donald Trump is fired. Well at this point, the Feds have seized Vince McMahon's phone. What well, I've seen some of the stuff on that phone. Well yeah, not good, No, not good. He came to a meeting in his underwear with that woman. How do you do that? I mean they do that around here. Did

you take that training yesterday? Yeah? Sexual dissassment yeah, and harassment? Right? Did you pass the tester? I sure? Did don't show up here in your underwear. No, that's for sure. Well, don't worry about that. I'd be like, I don't want to chase people away. I like everybody that I work with. You look like watermelon. Yeah, so I don't know. I don't know about his team. What's the I

mean, what's the guy thinking? He's worth billions of dollars? He's got the he's got wrestling like I mean, you know, he's made trillions of dollars And what are you doing? And he's in his seven person a lighter out here. But don't know, lass if you're thinking about giving me a superman blunch again, I've got the Cincinnati police right over there. What what? What? What's he doing in town? Vince McMahon in town to kid Maybe he's talked to Maybe he's talking to rick Yucchino or kid Chris. They

love that guy. Yeah, so he was here, Bence McMahon, and he called the police to save him maybe from Rick Flair. Is that correct? You didn't answer my question? Answer the question? What is it? Bill Cosby? Jeffrey Epstein Vince McMahon, like I said, put him in a two bed cell and let him go at it. I'm going with Jeffrey Epstein because let the best man win. Yeah, I'm taking I guess Vince McMahon in that matchup. That's true, but he belongs under the jail,

not in it. They all wait till the Feds get done with him. His wife left him, Stephanie left him, Sean left him. He's got nothing. Shane, he loved him to him too. All left me and also Willie. Tonight, our beloved Cyclones are on the road at Fort Wayne and then they'll host the combats here in the Queens City tomorrow night. That's pretty good. But trying to get the starting date of the Red Spring training accurate, will you? Yeah, people are really shocked. You gave him

three, three or four weeks. What's the difference. What's the difference? Shocked? And how about Corbyn being traded from Milwaukee to bald How about that deal that's a Galdamore Orioles Corbyn Burns out, that's you would want to be get him out of, get him out of the center of the central division. Might be that the Brewers, I mean, they lost their manager.

They've been trading guys. They trade Corbin Burns. Of course, I think he's under contract for one more year and then he goes free agent, so he's gonna make millions, but who knows, he may go into tank. It hit that again. You have to feel the same way. Sake, thank you? Who was that? Bob Casteline? We will bring championship baseball to Cincinnati. He didn't say what year? Bingo? Right, that's correct. In my great speech on opening day, I'm gonna pick the Reds to

lose using reverse psychology. Do you like that? You better say that because they're going to create a riot ryot If you say the Reds are going to lose on opening day, people are going to turn on you like when the kids are out of school. We're going to turn on you like Mussolini. See, the problem is it's not the kid's behavior, right, it's the golden bus pass. Correct, that's the problem, right right, correct. And when a gun is used to hurt someone, it's not the person that

used the gun, it's the gun itself. When someone drives drunk, it is not the drive. It is not the driver. It is the car that calls the drunk driving. Would you agree? Just listen to Broderick Crawford. When we end the stoodents report every Friday. It's pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. Yeah, we'll see what happens. Okay, segment is that it in sports?

We'll go undefeated, untied, unscored on like the twenty eighteen Deer Park High School team. I was just about to say that I'm tied unscored on, yeah, twenty nine to Oh. Those kids worked hard in the offseason and they produced.

I'll never forget watching that game on Spectrum one that day, and and the TV people are showing who's that guy in that Deer Park jersey number ten? Ranning and raving like he's a member of the team on the court. Then he's up there around the net taking taking down the net. These guys, there's two guys on TV, had no idea who you were? Good? And I'm laughing, my you know what? Off? That's good? Oh and then I spoke afterwards of the team and I've never felt more proud to

be a wildcat of mid Amen to that. Well, you got your title, Willy, so congratulations. That's right. I think I have a photo of me cutting down the nets here someway there it is right there. Then you had glory. You had glory there you went to Moler and kicked Brannon and Larkin like ten in a row in free throws, because I was there and all ten of them were nothing but strang bingo Larkin and Brandon. Larkin

hit about three or four in a row, and then Klang. Brandon hit about four or five and Klang, what was I wearing your Deer Park jersey and underneath it was a long sleeved shirt and dress pants. And I said, you know what, give me the ball. Ten in a row. I said, Larkin, you're up, let's go. He missed. That was a classic night. And then I went to that. When walked out of their stun, I went to the Maller m and I put I had the microphone and I said, remember this, the best of Derrick Park will

always beat the best for Maller. Live with it. Then they had escort you out of the building so you didn't get beat up. It was like a UC game when you beat the horn frogs, right, they were charging their court with you see and Xavier. After the game of the Gardens, I had Sycamore Township's finest escort me off, that's for sure. Maybe I should have said that, what do you think? Live with it? No, don't want to incite the crusaders. Hell, they got all pissed off.

Yeah, and they brought in like three suspects as to who was the father, and each one do you think you were Mari Povitch or something I was at a time, okay, And each of them told the romance the love the head, and she related, I'm sure that Gyrone is the father. Okay, we did the DNA, you are not the father, and she collapses. He runs around crazy. Bring a number two? Guess what this is it? I shouldn't have done it. By this is the guy.

And of course immigration, illegal migration into America is the top

issue in America today. And I see that after the NYPD cops were beaten down by illegal immigrants, and after their release with no bond, at least one of them flipped the bird for the news media as it left. And even now Governor Hochel of New York may take this thing more seriously. We've gone from sanctuary cities and sanctuary states to we can't take it anymore. Jessica Anderson, as the president of the Sentinel Action funnel'll get the website for you

later on if you want to be involved in that. And she says Democrats are now beginning to feel the political pressure to secure the border. And Jessica Anderson, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And here's the first inquiry. I like to make that it appears the Democrats now have a plan to blame

the Republicans for what's happening on the southern border. Can you tell me the two or three things that President Joe Biden could do now that would significantly change the southern border without any more money being appropriated, and the Republicans are not involved in that. What could he do but refuses to do so? Oh man, thanks Bill so much for having me and drawing attention to this incredibly

important issue. You're exactly right. Joe Biden created this border crisis, and he actually did it via executive orders, and so he can undo it with executive orders or by simply enforcing the laws from the Trump administration that are currently on the books, and so some of those specific In the first one hundred days of his administration, he actually signed over ninety four executive orders reversing the very effective Trump era border security policies. So he needs to go back,

he needs to rewind put all of those in place. He can do that without the House, without the Senate. That is pure executive action. Over the course of really the last year, he's taken an additional sixty four actions to weaken security at the southern border. Of course he could reverse that as well, all sixty four of those actions. So it's really difficult when the left is trying to say, well, the Republicans have caused this crisis,

that is so far from the truth. Joe Biden created this border crisis. He did it with executive orders. He can undo it with executive orders. And that doesn't even start with what the House has already done in passing HR two, which as we know, is a comprehensive border bill that would give actual border security to a very poor scorer, and not coupled with Biden turning

the ship around, would bring security to our southern border. So when I watched the nightly news, which I do so you don't have to, we never get that information. We're told by Joe Biden over the line of a helicopter, give me the power, give me the money, I'll fix the problem. And the next question is, why don't you enact to stay in Mexico policy, Why don't you quit parolling people inside of America? Why don't you give the ability of border patrol agents to take illegal migrants and ship them

back to their home country. He doesn't do any of that stuff. But the media is not in the business of telling the American people the reality of what Joe Biden has done. And I have a thought, Jessica, that maybe Joe Biden is so incompetent he doesn't know what he's doing mentally, and that the staff around him all left over some Barack Hussein. Obama's administration is

actually running the presidency and Joe Biden doesn't know what he's doing. Is that a possibility, very much so. And I think it's even worse when you consider he might have actually met when he said when he put Kamala Harris in charge of the border, she's supposed to be the so called borders are And when was the last time she even went to the southern border. It was once in twenty twenty one. So the administration can control the crisis, they

are actively choosing not to. And the other thing the news doesn't tell you, mainstream media doesn't tell you, Bill, is just how much border patrol right now is working. Over time, they have apprehended nearly six million illegal crossers from the beginning of the Biden administration, and honestly that number is probably

higher. That's just six million that we know about, and then the Biden administration is then turned around and released half three point three million of these legals into the country, with over ninety nine percent of these illegals still residing in the United States. So you know this is a farce when you hear the Biden administration saying they can't control it, they need more power, they need more executive actions. They have all of the authority to do that, they're

choosing not to, and they're choosing to flood our country with illegals. I believe intentionally this is part of a larger political posturing that they have to not only keep immigration as part of their talking points for the next election, but to create more voters in the United States, where you have same day voter registration and in a lot of states you don't have to have an ID.

So put two and two together and you get four, well eighteen states, at least eighteen states have drivers licenses issued to illegal aliens and that automatically registers that person to vote, and then the Secretary of the States in those seventeen states send out the ballot to every registered voter and there's no confirmation as the

citizenship there's no confirmation as to a signal match. And so what's behind this is twenty thirty another census is coming and the census is based upon persons in a state, not citizens in a state. And so by Illinois, New York, California, they can overwhelm due to the census and reapportionment congressional seats from Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and from all the Red states. Is that long term they have the news media generally on their side to relate lies

to the American people. Secondly, we've had anywhere between ten and twelve million illegals enter the country under the last three years or so under Biden, and they generally are dispersed to Blue states Colorado, Denver right now is in complete chaos and is the goal then through reapportionment to make sure that the Red states

lose representation in the Congress. So in the House of Representatives, there's never going to be a Republican majority of any great note there because of reapportion And secondly, it creates utter chaos and confusion and anger. But at the end of the day, doesn't this play politically positively for Democrats? I'd put it this way. The left cannot win the messaging war on the issues they're running on today. Right, the economy is upside down, the border is a

mess. Parents are losing control of their kids in schools, they're being sexualized, They're not able to have a say in what they're learning. Kids can't get a job, college costs too much. What of that are Democrats going to run on? Right, there's nothing that they can run on. So they need a new voting population to bolster their election outcomes. They need new voters, so they have to go find them. Where they can't find them,

they need to make them. And so you know, it's not being a conspiracy theorist, just try to put the dots together to understand why would the Biden administration intentionally allow the border to be as open and dangerous as it is now. Because they say the same facts the border patrol agents don't change. Those are god fearing, god loving American patriots day in and day out

that are not being allowed to do their job. There's a political will that is over on top of public servants, essentially what these good border patrol agents are. So let's not kid ourselves about what's happening here. They are putting. The left is putting their political will above the law, and then that allows even more chaos to bread, even more chaos at our southern border. So I think it's wise of us to be clear about the threats we are

facing. It's wise of us to understand the stakes of how high this election is. That's coming November. It's the presidency, it's the majority in the Senate, it's keeping the House, and it's finally having all three levers of power to get a comprehensive border package done that secures the border first and foremost in the way that President Trump did over his four years in office. So, Jessica Anderson of the Sentinel Action Fund, you're saying that there is not

additional money needed. In the media, every time they have a chance to ask a Biden administration official or Joe Biden can't even do a news conference, say why don't you use executive action to correct the border? And they're relying upon the so called mainstream media, which is losing its pinache in order to keep communicating lies to the American people. Would base the decision not on truth

but something else. Can we step back a little bit and talk about the men women and children coming across the southern border in the last three years plus

the numbers between ten and fifteen million. I read a report from the US Census Survey that if we continue on this path, by the year twenty fifty, which seems like forever but twenty, we're as close to the year nineteen ninety nine as we are to twenty fifty, And so in the next what twenty five twenty six years, there's going to be at least another one hundred million Americans inside this country who are not vetted, living and doing whatever,

overwhelming the schools, the emergency rooms, the highways, pollution, food requirements, medicine, et cetera. What does America look like in twenty fifty. I may not be there, but I think you'll be there. What will America look like if we stick with the interchangeable drill bit either Biden, Kamala Harris, Michelle, Obama, Gavin Newsoen wide open southern border, keep blaming

the Republicans for not giving money when it's not needed. What does America look like in twenty fifty if that report of four hundred and sixty million Americans is

true, Well, we can't We can't allow that to happen. I think there are too many conservative loving Americans, common sense Americans across the country that are going to fight this election twenty twenty six, twenty twenty eight to ensure that the Democrats are not allowed to run rampant over our American institutions and our way of life, and our culture, and our government and our foreign policy. I mean, this is it's it's okay to I think, look at

the concerns going forward, but that fight is not over. I mean, we have not lost our country. Yes, things are dire and they look bleak, but Bill, you know this, I know this. Anytime you go hunting, what do we say in the morning, Well, the sun peeks out after it's just the darkest and we are in a dark period right

now. But the sun is right over the horizon. And a lot of this can be turned around with a strong executive actions, with a Senate that is actually controlled by conservatives, not rhinos, not Democrats, but actual conservatives. And we have the chance for both of these those things this coming November. And you know, I want to go back to your first question of you know when when when Biden is saying, well, he needs more power

to do something or he needs more money. In the first hundred days of his administration, remember he rapidly signed ninety four executive orders reversing effective Trump error border security policies. He can go back and reverse all of those. He then went further and took sixty four additional actions to weaken security at the southern border. He can go back. He himself holds that authority. He can go back and overturn all of that. It would take less than a day

of signing documents. So let's not kid ourselves about who has the power to turn this crisis around. Biden does tell us how much money's involved on the southern border. How does a person get from Nicaragua to l Passo Ego Pass? How does somebody find their way from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan? Groups of individuals, Someone in Kabul, Afghanistan didn't wake up this morning and say, you know what, I kind of want to go to Ego Pass.

It doesn't work that way. Can you kind of talk about the tens of thousands of generally unattached single mails and why they're useful idiots by the cartels. What happens to the men, the women, and the children, and how do you get from Europe, Asia Africa to Egle Pass? How does that

work? Well? Unfortunately, there is a underground network of cartels and NPOs nonprofit organizations that have really nice sounding names that are you know, I think trying to talk about a humanitarian crisis, that they're really just complicit in creating a larger humanitarian crisis. But this network of cartels and NPOs and other bad actors all across the globe, I believe that they work in tandem and that they've created major kind of hubs south of the border for people to meet,

to then get organized to then cross illegally. I mean, it's not a surprise when you see the crossings of fifty to two hundred people at a time. It's not single you know, single onesies and twosies of people just running

across. It's organized, it's comprehensive, and it's just really bad. You know, Bill, I actually lived in southern Arizona for some time in the early twenty tens, and we lived just south of Tucson, so we were just south of the border check in that's in Tucson, Arizona, and I would actually when I would drive to the airport in Tucson from the town I was living in, Sierravicea. I would drive that forty five minutes to the

airport or so mob it was like an hour. And I would literally see women's heels shoes on the side of the road because the cartels had told these women that it was just a day's walk or it was a couple of hours walk, and they would be wearing high heels and they'd have to drop them, they'd have to get rid of them because it was such a long walk.

And so when you see that, you just know that there's organization in Mexico, south of the border, in these other countries that they're telling a lie, and then they're bringing people not only illegally, but sometimes even against the will sadly into the United States. And it's the cartels, it's the NPOs. And we need to have I think a heavy arm of accountability. The House Oversight Committee is trying to of that. Now there needs to be

even more of it to stop it. Well, Jessica Anderson sent no auction fund. We're in trouble. We're in big trouble. And informed electorate is democracy's number one virtue. And those who care about this issue, and almost all of us do. If you understand what's happening, the women that are raped, the men that are killed, the families that are separated at the fentanyl coming in. One hundred thousand Americans killed every year by fentanyl, and

there's no appetite by the Democrats to change it. Even today. They don't want to change it. They want to vilify Johnson, the Speaker of the House. They want to have a warfare law fair against Donald Trump to make sure he didn't get in and all the bad stuff they have planned for the Trumpster is probably going to accelerate between now and November the fifth. It's going

to get worse, not better. But if they had the appetite to correct this problem, they can do it without congressional action, because Trump did it without executive action. He did it with executive action, but without the contents out Congress. He did it, and Biden can do the exact same though.

That's the whole point here, and we just need to keep pushing it back on them and just reminding reminding everyone that will listen to us that this is a this is a crisis that the that President Biden and Borders are Kamala Harris have intentionally created and they hold the powers to overturn it without congressional action. Biden can do with Trump. Of course, Biden won't do that because he thinks Biden is he thinks Trump is Lucifer, and so Biden's never going

to do what Trump did. All it has to happen. If it's a Trump era policy, it will not be implemented. It doesn't make any difference. They play games with the hearts and souls and finances and lives of the American people. And if you have a child or a young adult who was killed by fent and will understand that that's the policy of Joe Biden to let it as much ventanyl as possible generally created in China across the southern border.

And it's just despicable what's happening. And if it doesn't change, if we continue on this course, if in November we elect a Democrat promising more of the same, I'm not sure the country can survive. I've never said that before, but as Abraham Lincoln said that America will not fall, that no foreign power can take a drink of water out of the Ohio River, nor walk on the Blue Ridge that when America dies, it'll be a self inflicted

wound. And Lincoln was right. Right now, we're watching a self inflicted wound, and we have hopefully Do you have hope that we haven't informed electorate or not? I do I have hope. Look, I'm in the grassroots. I talked to voters every single day, and people are coming to the reality. Even swing voters feel this because you can't you can't argue with the price of milk and the price of gas right now, the price of groceries.

You can't argue with the stories that you see in major cities, in a lot of these deeply blue you know, cities that have been riddled with crime and the lack of law and order. They're turning around wondering what's going to happen, you know, with their local cities. So people are it's not just conservatives that are awake. I think more swing voters, more moderate

voters are awake to the problems that our country is facing. It's up to us to connect that anger right with how they're going to vote, making sure that they have a plan to vote, that they know the new rules in their state, that they you know, know when they're going to show up at the ballot box. Is it early vote? Is it in person? Is a day of like you know, that's on us, and we're working at Centinel Action Fund to do that really aggressively this cycle, specifically with these

Senate battleground races, You've got to talk about crime in Pennsylvania. I mean that's going to be a huge part of the ticket for you know what looks like Dave McCormick and that Senate race. Same with Tianna and same with Ohio. So we got to keep everybody informed, focused and realize that, you know, the light is the light comes in the morning, and hopefully we're at the morning for our country here. I love your optimism, Jessica Anderson's

Sentinel Action fun. I pray you're right. I think you're wrong, but I pray that you're right because we got to get take our country back.

Your reaction to Bill Belichick talking to humorous Bill Belichick. We might get more of that this year if he doesn't coach, because my funny good. But he can't be a cut you do it for a living. Could

he be a color commentator? I mean he's got no personality, doesn't answer questions. Brady's got a chance. But Bill Belichick, as you well know, Willie seventy five percent of this business is the entertainment aspect. And you can be all great on the x's and no's, but if it's boring, no one will listen to it. And I just don't see him being able to elevate his voice and be excited about something that's like football. I just

can't see it happening. He's old, he's seventy one years old, and the way he acts and the way he performs, I'm sure he's got all the money in the world. He's all cheap, all of it. He's been making ten to twelve million a year, right, thank you, yeah,

for a long time. And anyway, we'll see what happens. Secondly, before we go much further Rocky. In the segment, it appears, according to sources that the Kansas City chiefs fans who died in the backyard of a friend's house where they had something laced with fentanyl, and the families are saying, none of these three guys used drugs whatever, Oh oh, but the person inside the house who was like knocked out for two days, may

have supplied fentanyl laced whatever, maybe marijuana, and these three guys did not know or maybe they did know who knows, but fentanyl. Kansas City chiefs frozen like a popsicle? What do you think? Some of them are calling foul play, but I think more the likely scenario is these guys, you know, they like to party a little bit and hey, I found found some drugs from this other guy. Let's keep the party going a little bit. And as you well know will in these days, anything can be lace

with anything, and that fentanyl is an absolute killer. It's fifty times more powerful than heroin. A couple of granules, police will tell you, they get on their skin, they go into cardiac arrest, so it's it's nothing to play with. I just can't imagine that the high from that stuff must be so unbelievable to cause someone to risk their literal life for that feeling. I cannot understand it. I'm sure you and the segment can't understand it,

but it exists. And you the lawyer, what what what's this guy facing? Yeah, it's murder because the big m Yeah, if he knew, if he supplied illegal substances knowing they relays the fandel that's murder. That's three counts of murder. So if nobody knew, probably not. But you still have the unintentional killing of another brought on by a negligent act, and that's manslaughter. So hell, I don't know, but more information has come out

rock about Vince McMahon. Now I asked you the question that segment did not answer in the last hour. Are you ready, oh far away? Who's more disgusting and reprehensible? One? Bill Cosby? Two Jeffrey Epstein. Three Vince McMahon. Go Epstein because there's children involved, That's what I said. Segment said Cosby, I'm saying Epstein because he had teenage girls that he marketed around and flew O for the other two belong in the same place. Whatever

the hell that is as as uh as Epstein? Because what did you read some of the stuff about Vince McMahon that Feds, by the way, are going to pursue now criminal slash class action lawsuit status. They got his phone right, his phone? Wo He deserves it, Yeah, he deserves it. Its distinct. You know you hate there read this about people you know that you think are are great people, and he's done a great thing built at WW you know he's hated. But if he did it, then reprehensible.

You just dug you're star well. He groomed a woman that was vulnerable. He did things to her. I can't talk about until ten o'clock tonight. I took the test yesterday. That time go ahead. No, I can't ten o'clock tonight until we get to a safe harbor. But that ship would not be safe in a safe harbor either. The stuff that he did to that girl and groomed her like crazy. And that's the same as Epstein rock Lester's involved to brock Lester was supposed to be the royal rumble and he

was taken out. So another one issues segment. Give me sports, but make sure it's accurate relative to the reds. Will he and honor the stood reporters of proud service of her local Thamestar.

in a trailer park in Los Angeles. He said, Okay, I want to drive my RV out and go to a trailer park down by water, or I want to live by I got blody of that out there in my RV. Can you see him living in an RV as the coach? Yes, you know the Chargers. Look, I mean, if you're the Chargers owner, I forget his name, but are you doing backflips? Because Jim Harball is all Ball, doesn't care about literally any anything else. That's the guy you want. I don't care about a condo, a house on the

lake. I want to live in an RV and do football twenty hours a day. That's the guy you want right there. Well, the Hispanos family says they got the guy. He was the quarterback for the Chargers about twenty five years ago, and he returns. How about this an alma mater Michigan. He comes back to head coach and then with the Chargers come back to head coach. That's not bad, not bad at all. And he's getting paid a five year deal allegedly worth seventy five million dollars, less than Michigan

was offering. They were offering ten years, one hundred and twenty mil. We take a pay cut getting a payo West. No wonder he's living in an RVA can afford it, he's an RV land afford it. First, I wouldn't live in California. If it paid me to live there, I wouldn't do it. But nonetheless, well he'll fit in well there with They live on the sidewalks, don't they.

I don't know, Willie would? I mean? These are the these are the rough days leading up to the Super Bowl of sports. Nothing going on this weekend. You got the

Pro Bowl, which is like pro sports. You have to see rock. You're gonna be watching the uh the Pro Bowl games? Likely not okay, like I have like seventeen youth sporting events this weekend basketball football. It's like football action, no rock. They want you to come back. Well, I have like a player or two seg and then I'd snap an achilles and that be it. Just like Tyler, like Tyler, and like like Tyler refer, Bernard Langer is gonna miss the Masters, so they torn Achilles at

that. So that's not good good news for the Reds. Corbin Burns is traded to the Baltimore oriole that's correct last night for two minor leaguers, go get him. So he was ten and eight last season with the brew Crew. Now he's off to Baltimore Oriole Land and out of the Reds hair. The former Cy Young Award winner, And this is rock right up your alley. The big ten in the SEC have formed a Joint Operating Committee of presidents

and chancellors h oh to address this significant challenges facing college sports today. They want the NCAA to be out of their hair. Gone. Oh yeah, that's gonna happen, There's no doubt about it. And Bill Callahan Willie has gotten permission to leave the Cleveland Browns to join his son Brian in Nashville Tennessee with a tights good get him the hell out of Cleveland. So to deal with him, he's the best offensive line coaching footballing. Got him out.

But you see college sports in the next three years. They don't want the NCAA crawling around their athletic departments in Tennessee or elsewhere to find a bunch of crap. Go The volunteers are in trouble with the with nil right, what are you talking about? And so now they're gonna at some point with the NC double A no longer control college football. Absolutely. The only question is is it this year or is it next year? Or is it in three

years? Then who takes over the big ten of the SEC rules? Rules or roost? Are there any rules anyway? Rock? What are the rules? What are the rules? You're paying kids up front and supposedly they're didn't comply with money everything right? What is there to what is there to government? How can you go after Tennessee when it is known to get a good quarterback is about one and a half million dollars and you pay the kid.

How do you violate something in the NC That's why, that's why these schools that are more power from the nc double A, and these leagues like the SEC are going to stay to hell with you. We're going to form our own deal. May think Greg Sankie will just become the football commissioner. The footballs are whatever you want. And then everyone just football is its own entity.

They play by their own rules, and they need to get a collective bargain agreement almost become like the NFL with that sort of arrangement where let's put the whole thing where these players are, you know, the academic this and that sort of thing treated like almost like a minor leagueses allow them to operate

how they want, have contracts, collective bargain agreement. A salary cap I think would be good salarily so the prices some of these salary cap seriously seriously so so some of these schools that that are would be they can't compete with that. So salary cap in the NCAA. If you see Xavier sounds, they are changing will twenty years, you got twenty years, you got three? And what ten years of probation have you bought it? Get a hamburger

after the bear Cat Now he's riding around at a Mercedes. After the Bearcats had the Final four and got there at the uh uh and they and the Big Boy said, wait a minute, why as you see taking our money out of the SEC, right and the Big ten. We don't want that that. They don't want the UC's of this world to get a piece of the pie. No, and so they want to do their own deal between the SEC and the Big ten, maybe the A ten, maybe not rock.

What happened, what happens to the you know the other leagues? Well, the only thing that could throw a wrench in this is if you look back, like the history of the NFL, right that the AFL came around and they wanted to you know, the the NFL smartly absorbed them and brought them along and only and treated them as equals. They didn't say, well,

we're the NFL, you're the FL, you're a step below. No, they they took a little humble pie and they say, look, in the long term, US joining forces as equals is going to be a good thing. The question that I always think about is in college football is very territorial. Right, the SEC, we're the SEC, we're the best conference.

And people when the Big ten think they're the best conference, and you know, so all the What would anybody be humble enough when any of these commissioners of these you know, of these leagues be humble enough to say, look, let's just come together as equals here and form this great gigantic thing called college football D one college football, Power five football, and we'll make money, handover fists and it'll be wonderful. Will they do that or will

they say, now, we got to prove we're the best. We got to fight for just the SEC or Alabama and Auburn, or will they allow other people to come to the table. That's the question. And what part of Florida State suing the ACC and the ACC suing back Florida State because Florida State wants to leave the ACC and I guess go either to the the ACC got in a horrible television deal they signed to like twenty thirty two and I mean the dumbest thing ever. So that's one of the issues involved with that.

Everybody wants more money. The grain let us of salvation thing go. That's what it is. That's all about what it's all about today. Everything about money thing go Epstein, Cosby McMahon, all of them along under the prison not in it Brock. What's on the show? It this afternoon?
