Bill Cunningham, the great American. Of course, the Heritage Foundation, the Heritage Action is one of the great conservative groups that then many have taken charge to get out the viewpoints of normal Americans. When I try to watch MSNBC or the nightly news, I'm thinking the American people and not receiving the information upon which they can cast an informed ballot. Ryan Walker is the executive vice
president of Heritage Action, part of the Heritage Foundation. Ryan Walker, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Well, the presidential visits have now taken place. The split screens were very, very incredible to watch as far as
the mainstream media coverage of one against the other. But one of the talking points of the radical Democrats at this point is to say that we offered the Republicans a really great border patrol package, part of the Ukrainian and part of the Israeli situation, and the Republicans themselves turned it down, and that very concerned vative senator from Oklahoma was in charge of negotiating, and the Republicans don't
want a deal. What they want to do is have an issue to bludgeon Joe Biden within the fall if he's the nominee instead of solving a problem, and they're blaming the Trump Number one, will it be successful to us to
flip the script on Donald Trump saying he's weak on the border. But number two, let's go to two before one, Ryan Walker, What are the two or three clauses or reasons in this legislation put together bipartisan allegedly that are particularly obstreperous and as bad for the American people, and that's why the Republicans in the House said no to it. What are the two or three things, the trapdoors, the loopholes. Yeah, great question, and thank you
for having me on. I think that you're absolutely correct to identify the vulnerabilities of this bill or the fake billing that the American people have been sold. The two most obvious downfalls of this piece of legislation are that it codifies five thousand illegal immigrants coming into the United States a day, and that is a massive shift even from the Obama administration, who considered one thousand a day a
crisis. This would institute five times what President Obama thought was unachievable. So that's number one. Number two, the president in this legislation, as much as they like to say that it would require him to shut down the border.
It would do none of that. It would in fact give him the authority to make the decision and determination of whether it's actually needed or not the shutdown, and so he could make a determination that this is not required at this time under law, I have the ability to stop it from being implemented, and I'm going to keep the border open because I don't really see it as a problem. So number of us who let's stay on number one,
Ryan Walker. I watched Jay Johnson a few weeks ago, who was Obama's Homeland Security czar, who said that we had a very bad day when we had one thousand gowing up at the border. In the month of December. There were ten thousand on average every day. It's still unbridled. And so the legislation that Center Langford and others put together would say that essentially, until you get past five thousand a day, there's no need for the president to
act. Five thousand a day is two million a year. Now, what reasonable person believes that American can put up with two million a year that we know about, much less all the other the godaways that we don't know about. And so that is not reported by the American to the American people, by the media. Is that correct? Five thousand a day is ridiculous. Oh, it's absolutely correct. And what you're seeing at the border right now
unfolding is it's untenable. We have now since twenty twenty one, since Biden came into power, there have been close to twelve million people that have come into this country, you know, just to be allowed into our society. That is the population of the entire countries of Haiti or Bolivia coming into the United States since twenty twenty one. They are breaking our social programs, our
schools, our hospitals, you name it. This is unsustainable. And so this administration, as much as they want to hang this on the neck of Donald Trump, I think the American people see it for what it is. Twelve million. Of course, Census Bureau surveys indicate that within the next fifteen years, at the present levels, we're going to have at least one hundred and fifty million more persons one hundred and fifty million more coming in to this
country by that point. And if you take the number of twelve million the state of Ohio. I live in Ohio, Ryan Walker, and it appears to be a large state. The state of Ohio has twelve million residents in the state of Ohio, and so every three years under the Democrats, there will be a new state of Ohio, and infinitum. And if Trump doesn't win this November, and the interchangeable drill bit gets in, who might be Biden, might be Kamala Harris, might be Kevin Newsom, might be Michelle
Obama. Just play the number, Governor, Whitmer, whoever it is that can America afford every thirty six months to have at least twelve million come in the size of the state of Ohio, a large state. We don't. We're not scaled for those purposes at all. Secondly, do you think, of course, the classic comment is never let a crisis go to waste.
That the goal is to overwhelm the cities, overwhelm the states, to have it flood into the more suburban areas, the smaller Midwestern cities, and then suddenly to have a situation where the concentration camps, the relocation camps that got to be set up somewhere by some future president. And then if Trump says we're going to have detention camps for the maybe thirty to forty million illegals that we have. The federal judges will knock it, stop it. The news
media will journalistically impeach them. If the Democrats are in charge of the House, Nancy Pelosi, a king Jeffries again are going to cause more impeachment proceedings. We have nothing but chaos. And so what happens if Joe Biden, god forbid, is re elected, he won't serve out his term. Kamala Harris becomes the president. What happens then to the southern border. Well, I think it's more of what we've seen, if not putting rocket fuel on it. You know, I think that they have an interest in this.
And you've seen Democrat representatives say the quiet part out loud to the general public that they are looking at this for apportionment's sake. They are looking at this to gain the census, to install and create a scenario where there is a permanent power center with Democrats in it, particularly in blue states, but all over the country. They think that this is their way to install I think permanent power. And again, these people, the folks that are coming across
the border, are being used by the left. They are being used by Democrats. They have no interest in being a part of our great experiment. They are opportunists and they are taking an opportunity and taking advantage of that opportunity. We don't have the funds or the ability to accommodate these folks. You've seen it in places like Chicago, New York City, Denver, where they're cutting parks and rec budgets so that they can accommodate the illegals. We're giving
them thousands of dollars in debit cards and free housing and daycare. It's ridiculous. Well, I look at the city at Denver, and in Denver the mayor is cutting back on police and other social services to pay forty million dollars a year in services to illegals who shouldn't be there in the first place. And right now the citizens of Denver are a near revolt. Do you see.
Let's step back a little bit from thirty thousand feet looked down are the residents in New York City, in Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Denver, Cincinnati. They're going to say, you know what, we're on the wrong track here and we're going to start voting for those who want to protect the southern border, which are the Republicans. God helps those that help
themselves. And I want to get on all the Trump indictments in lawsuits with you, Ryan Walker, But is there a chance that what happened in Chicago when you went from Lori Lightfoot also known as Beetlejuice and here comes Brandon Johnson to the left of her. Do you think the citizens who put these individuals in power well eventually see the light and not act pursuant to group think but individual interest. I hope so. I think that we've seen some of that
so far. You've seen town halls and county council meetings and things of that nature where residents are pissed, they are mad, they are raising Cain with their elected officials and demanding that their focus and priority be on the citizens of the community and not these illegal immigrants. I do fear that it's a bit, you know, it may be too late in the calendar year for the average person to understand just how much taxpayer money and time, time and priority
is being taken away from them and given to the illegals. It's happening, but I think it may be a little too late in this cycle. That's my fear. How many rapes, how much human trafficking. There's more sexual slavery in the southern border, encouraged by the Democrat Party than ever in American history. In fact, the UN says there's more slaves alive today than ever before in American history or in world history. And that is sexual slavery.
It is chili gangs that are burglarizing homes in the suburbs, all paying off the transit debt. It's about fourteen to eighteen billion dollars a year Cinelo drug cartels make in transit fees. We're funding that. We're also encouraging fentanyl to
come across the southern border. It's a collapse. And you know, Ryan Walker, I thought when Kate Steinley went down about five years ago in San Francisco on a pier from some illegal aliens shot her and sexually molested her than shot her, and he had been deported five times, had been convicted of
seven felonies. I thought, Okay, that'll change things. Then I thought, Molly Tibbets and Ioway out for a run, another legal alien bludging her to death and killing her on the run, and then Lake and Riley takes place in the University of Georgia. What happened to her at the hands of that creep Bibera is unbelievable. And each time these events transpire, I think, Okay, this is going to be the moment that turns the country around, but it isn't. And Lake and Riley now basically's out of the news.
Wait for the next one to take place, and the Democrats are never held to account. The Democrats I have to assume they want with their proposals cause and that is they want this to happen. They want chaos. They want individuals who throw their hands up and say I can't take it anymore.
What I want is government intervention, and that's what I'm watching now. Secondly, let's talk about how Joe Biden has committed exactly the same acts allegedly of Donald Trump in keeping classified documents in an unsecured location and sharing those documents with others. In fact, in one tape to his biographer, President Joe Biden said, the classified stif is downstairs, We'll look at that stuff later.
I'll give it to you. How is it possible that, in one hand, Joe Biden has given a Texas l Paso because he's old and feeble. If you're not old, and if you're too old and feeble to serve as a criminal defendant, you shouldn't be the president of the United States. And so how do you think that they were in midstroke with what's happening in Florida? What's happening in Washington, d C? I guess the New York trial is going to start in November. I'm sorry, March the twenty fifth.
We got this stuff happening in Fulton County. Do the American people every time he's indicted or every time he gets a four hundred and fifty five million dollar judgment against him, his support goes up if a trial takes place, Is there any doubt in your mind he will be convicted in New York City, Atlanta, or Washington, d C. Which is the goal of the Democrats. He's got a shot in Florida with Judge Cannon, but everywhere else he's
done. What impact will it have if the President is convicted in New York City on giving money to a porn star that was on the wrong form and it didn't it was a federal election violation. Will that affect the outcome of the election. Well, you know, I think that it's certainly going to have somewhat of an impact. I don't know that it's what the Democrats think
it's going to be. To your point, there have been people the American public is waking up to this idea that there are rules for thee but not for me, and that the left and Democrats institute rules and regulations that only apply to the American people and not to themselves or to elected leaders. And
I think people are seeing that. I think people are seeing the weaponization of our government in going after political opponents of the opposing party, and so I think that there is an awareness of that, there is an awakening to that that idea. Uh. But you know, we'll see of the impact if
he is convicted in those in those cases. But I don't get the sense that the American people believe that these are crimes that he and only he has committed, and that there's no one else at fault, etc. To your point, we have seen public reporting of Joe Biden hand unclassified documents and in the same way that has been reported on Donald Trump. And furthermore, to your point, he is I think this age issue and the mental capacity will
start to become the leading issue related to Joe Biden. You saw him at the border when he was down there viewing and taking photo opportunities in front of a low trafficked area on the border. He can barely move, he can barely speak. He has a teleprompter. It's like a seventy inch TV with size forty eight font The gentleman cannot put together sentences and thoughts for longer than
a couple of minutes. And I think the American people will have seen that, and increasingly we'll see that on the camp paytrail, and I think that issue will dominate this election cycle. And you know, Ryan Walker, the State of the Union addresses Thursday, March the seventh coming up in a few days, and the Democratic Party is holding its breath. Please don't stumble and fall walking up the steps, don't fail to read the telepropter correctly, don't
stutter, don't have that Mitch McConnell gaze. In other words, don't be a clown. And this is one time, and I've said this before, that he's going to tumble down the steps. He's going to say something real stupid. He's going to be at some event and absolutely make a fool of himself, like saying the president of Mexico is in charge of Egypt, whatever it might be. The eighty percent of us think he's not capable mentally of serving as president, but he still gets forty five percent of the vote.
How can a Democrat vote for someone old and feeble that his own Justice Department has said can't stand trial on criminal charges, he can't counsel on his own behalf. Yeah, that guy's got his finger on the nuclear t Are you kidding me? I agree? And we saw this with John Fetterman in Pennsylvania this past cycle. Right, the citizens of Pennsylvania, even after the debate
performance, decided to elect him. Now, what I will say is that after that debate in Pennsylvania, the number one Google trend in the state of Pennsylvania was how to change my vote? And so I think there's a good point here that the display of the mental capacity of our sitting president is now he has nine months, eight months to confront and to deal with this issue, and the American people have that much time to see him and to be
able to discern whether there is a severe lack of mental capacity. Yes, and once again the Republicans have gone along with another cr We have a thirty two trillion dollar national debt on its way to forty trillion dollars. We've borrowed six billion dollars every day in brand new money, one third of which goes to pay interest on some other credit card. We're completely overwhelmed. And are you disappointed the Republicans cooperate with Democrats to bankrupt this country financially with debt?
Yes, i am. It's the position of our organization. We've been out there for almost over a year now talking about the finite details of the federal budget, what's needed to get it back into a space where it's somewhat sane and potentially getting to a balance. But the Democrats have no interest in this.
I think Speaker Johnson is in somewhat of a difficult place. But to your point, they're punting again, and it looks like next week and over the next couple of weeks, we'll see spending bills that really favor Democrats here. And you know, Republicans need to understand that they still control one chamber
of Congress and that they still have leverage on these questions like this. It does require their vote for something like this to pass, and so naturally you have the ability to make an ask and they need to understand the space that they can operate in here, and unfortunately they just haven't done that. Ryan Walker, Heritage Action dot Com. We need your organization now more than ever. Between the southern border and debt, those are the two issues that will
destroy this country. Ryan Walker, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Good luck and we all look forward to the State of the Union address. That's going to be exciting. Thank you, Ryan, thank you, God bless you all. Let's continue with more State of the Union address. Remember in Bill Clinton, the teleprompter went down, he had nothing in front of him, and for an hour and a half he stood up there and just spoke. Could Joe Biden give us two sentences and
make any sense? Let's continue. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred wel of you.
