By Billy Cunningham. The great American Bernie Marino yesterday won eighty eight counties in the state of Ohio. A year or two ago, he was completely unknown by the time election took place. Yesterday, he walked in the shoes to JD. Vans coming horizontally to the game of politics and Bernie Marino, welcome
again to the Bill Cunningham Show as US Senate to designate. And Bernie, first of all, can you give me the one or two reasons you think you had such a magnanimous victory in eighty eight counties, which many said would be almost impossible. How did that happen? Well, you mean other than the last minute appearance on the Abdill Cunningham Show. But that was important. I'm sure that was a factor on Monday, but it must be saying give me reasons two and three, then there you go. Well, my wife
and I spent ten months putting one hundred thousand miles in a car. We drove to every county in Ohio multiple times, met with people, listened. This is important. We listened to what people wanted and what they told us. They wanted people who stood up for the for the beliefs that they said they were going to do. They were going to go to Washington's DC to get those things done. They were sick of career politicians and they wanted people
who actually would go there, serve and then come home. And that was the central theme of my campaign. We worked really hard, We had a great team, and I got to say, of course, big shout out to President Trump. His endorsement made a huge difference, quite decisive. His rally on Saturday clinched the deal. You know that endorsement is probably the most powerful political endorsement in political history. And very honored to have it. And now it's on to beat. As I say, Bill, we have to
retire the old commune now, no question. Because Sharon Brown is running these great commercials, which I encourage, by the way, about how I help want a burn ped or how I helped get somebody get a pension back. I want to know, how about the southern border, how about the collapse of our major cities. How about child trafficking on the southern border, how about kids in cages? How about smash and grab robberies all over the country,
especially in major cities, including here in Cincinnati. How about those issues and the issue. There's no answer for that other than to change direction of where we're headed. Did you have a telephone call with your two opponents, Matt and Frank And how did that go? They did? They both called me. They were both extremely gracious. I thank them for running a spirited
campaign. They I thanked Frank for his service to this country. And we will, all three of us be one hundred percent united with the entirety of the Republican Party to defeat share a Bown because that's the mission. That's what we're going to focus on for the next seven and a half months, and we'll make it happen. We're going to win decisively in November, and then most importantly, then we get into office in January and start going through the
to do list, which we will make happen. I did a little die tribe about a half an hour ago about the country is in a gigantic mess, and I say, voters asked for it. You cannot in the city of Chicago, for example, go through the four years of Beetlejuice also known as Lightfoot, and then elect someone more liberal. You cannot be in New York City and say, hey, they're smashing grabs all over the city. There's defecation, urination, fornication, drug use on city sidewalks, and then
just keeping power the same people. And so when someone says to me, Bernie Marino doesn't know about politics, Bernie Marino hasn't paid his dues. Bernie Marino has never held any other political office. Bernie Marino has not been vetted before. How would you respond to the fact that you're a neophyte when it comes to politics and you're about to become one of the most powerful men in
the country. Well, that's a feature, not a bug. I take that all as a badge of honor, as a compliment, because look at the people who do know supposedly what they're doing. They've destroyed this country, right, So we need people from the outside to go there and say, hey, you guys may think this makes sense, but letting ten million people come into this country illegallyves down working class wages, drives up housing costs,
food cost, energy costs. You look at every aspect of what illegal immigration does. It's a disaster. And what's the answer in DC, Well, let's let some illegal immigration happen as some sort of compromise. No, it's zero zero bill. We're not going to allow anybody to enter this country illegally. But the political class in DC thinks that what I just said is crazy.
So not being corrupted by the corrupt system is actually the badge of honor ill continue to wear versus a guy who's been corrupted by his entire life. And that's share it Brown. As far as the history of Bernie Marino, I've was present for one of your speeches about three or four months ago. I think the great majority of the American people who didn't vote yesterday, and
it's kind of sad we had about a fifteen percent turnout. Either all the American people are very happy with the way things are, or they've given up and say I can't rely upon the political system solve any of my problems. Tell the American people a little bit about your history, where you came from, the businesses you built, the family you have, that kind of stuff. Well, I was born in Columbia, South America, the youngest of seven kid. My dad was one of eleven, my grandfather was one of
twenty three, so were over performing Catholics. We moved to the US just my fifth birthday. My parents gave up a great life in South America to come to the US for a very different life. My dad came here to the US making five dollars and twenty five cents an hour as a surgical assistant. My mom and dad insisted that we worked from the moment we could. That meant delivering newspapers, bagging groceries, doing landscaping, being a bus boy.
I got to Ohio about twenty the body of the bill turned into one of the large the groups in the country sold that technology companusing block day to make titling prostigue or actually now launching a Conneticut. And I'm sorry. In Kentucky, I've sold interests in every business. I don't have any individual stocks because I think it's important to set an example. When you go to DC, you should have zero conflicts of interest. You should not go to DC
and then leave DC wealthier than when you got there. And that's an extremely important part of my campaign. It's about serving the country. This is what I'm called to do because the greatest gift I ever got was getting the privilege. It is a privilege to come to the United States of America and live my American dream. And that's what I want for my kids, my grandkids, your kids, and your grandkids. Much like Donald Trump. When I
think about American entrepreneurs, and you certainly have been one. With all the car dealerships you built. You started at the bottom, ended up with a couple dozen you sold. But I look back in American history. You know, Henry Ford build cars for commoners, not for the nobility, not for the rich people. He wanted us. He wanted his factory workers to be able to buy a brand new model A. That was Henry Ford and Steve Jobs created iPhones for all of us on my left job an iPhone. You
have an iPhone, not for government elites. And I think about the thousand of products in local grocery stores. I went to Kroger last night late to pick up a few items or shopping well, each of these products represent in the sense, an entrepreneur striving to meet needs of the American people to achieve their success. It's the benevolence of capitalism. It's the fact that individuals like you could come from Columbia, which now is a terrible place in which to
live, to come illegally to the American dreams. Start at the bottom, build yourself up, and really the essence of it is you have to depend upon the natural desire of people to better their lives, channeling their natural energies to focusing on the needs of others. You succeed in life not by looking at yourself, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, by looking at others. And how can I satisfy the needs of others, which is the brilliance of capital,
which is being certainly, certainly diminished in people in socialist countries. They stand in inevitable breadlines and they wait for gas or government ration healthcare. That's not the United States of America. You've led that life by supplying the needs of others, not by looking at yourself. And then you've done it in such a good way you're able to cash out your ticket. And you made a great statement to me on Monday about a two term. I've had many
Americans tell me we need term limits. What is your term limit? Which I'm going to play later on, maybe in twelve years, if I'm still here and you want to go for a third term or a fourth term like Shared Brown, what is your promise to the American people? Well, as I was a rating, he passed, the thing went dead. That was a great speech. I was givin Dave, would you call him back and
see if he's a see if he can hear what I said. But essentially, America will succeed capitalistically because people like Bernie Marino, not because of people like Shared Brown, and so inevitably in these other left wing countries they ration out products because they're not in a capitalistic system. And I think, Bernie Marina, you're back. Did you hear the essence of my comments about serving
the needs of others? And maybe a term limit. I've had many of my buddies, like John Kraft to craft Electrics saying we need term limits. What is your thoughts about term limits? Absolutely, I'm the chair of US term Limits for Ohio, and as I say, Bill, it may just make it clearer. I will serve two terms and I'm coming home. My wife says it even clearer. She says, third term, second wife. So that's not going to happen. So in twelve years from now, you'll
have a successful run. You won't seek a third or fourth term like Shared Brown is doing. He spent his entire life in politics. Before that, he spent time as a state office holder. What is your position let's go
over two or three things. Aid to Israel, aid to the Ukraine, letting five thousand illegals a day come into the country, which is a Biden plan before something clicks in, what's your position on a the one hundred and twenty billion dollars, Well, we should not bundle those things because they have nothing to do with each other. We're going to support Israel. Israel's our
greatest ally. The money that we give Israel benefits of America. We're not going to continue to fund Ukraine because Ukraine is we're funding a bloody stalemate that is leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Europeans. We're going to drive towards a peaceful settlement there that retains Ukraine as an independent nation. Pushes back on Putin, who's the aggressor. And then on Taiwan. We're going to make it clear that with President Trump that China is not going to act
on Taiwan. They're going to see that we have peace through strength on our border. We're going to have a zero tolerance for illegal immigration. Not one person can come into this country illegally, and if you're in this country illegally, you will be deported. That is extraordinarily important for us to do, because we cannot be a nation unless we have sovereignty, and you cannot sovereignty unless you control who comes in and out of your country. Alight, what
is your position on life issues? I'm a practicing Roman Catholic for the moment of conception through natural death. The Trumpster appears to be going to a position of a fourteen or fifteen week ban, which is popular with the American people, not popular with me. What is Bernie Marino's position on abortion? Well,
the Dobs move this issue predominantly to the states. I think what we've got to focus on is where we have consensus on this issue, bill and I think we can consensus around no federal funding for abortion, meaning no money for planned parenthood. We can fund pregnancy centers and help women before, during, and after birth. We can make certain that adoption is more available.
We have to make certain that we have the economic conditions that have women make the decision to have a baby, which means it's less expensive to have the child, that's expensive to raise the child, and make certain women have equal access to contraception, have access to good healthcare. But I do think there can be a federal standard where after fifteen weeks there are some common sense restrictions, so we do not have elective late term abortions as a national standard.
That would put us in line with even the most left wing European nations. But Bill, we're also going to point out that my opponent, Sharon Brown, is an absolute radical extremist on abortion. He believes abortions should be allowed
to the moment of birth. He believes that we should have full federal funding plant parenthood and these abortion bills, and he voted against the Infant Born a Live Protection Act, which said that in a botched abortion, the doctors are to let that baby die in a cold metal table, not give the baby life saving care. This is a person who's completely been radicalized on this,
and we're going to point that out. Wouldn't it be great if the mainstream media focused on democratic positions on abortion through birth and including and Born Alive Baby Act. It's incredible that we have hundreds of thousands of healthy mothers killing healthy babies every year in this country, healthy mothers, healthy babies, the abortion mill and the government largely funds it. It is disgusting. Secondly, Thirdly, Fourthly, we borrow one trillion dollars every one hundred days of brand new
money. What is your thought on eliminating the idea that we live on debt passed on to our kids, Because at some point we're going to have a come to Jesus meeting and we're going to have hyperinflation or renouncing of the national debt, which right now is thirty four trillion dollars plus. How do we stop borrowing every one hundred days one trillion dollars of new money. Well,
we have to do what every household in Ohio does. We have to prioritize what we can do with the money that we do have, and recognize that we spent four hundred and fifty one billion dollars last year taking care of the leagal immigrants. That should be zero. We should not give millions, hundreds of millions of dollars in countries that hate us. They'll hate us for free. We have to make certain that we don't pay millions of Americans who can
work not to work. And we have to get rid of some of these federal agencies that have gotten massively bloated. In the Department of Education needs to go. We have to take a hard look at atf there's a lot of bloat in the federal bureaucracy. We have to make it more efficient and massively cut the scale of government. If not, we're going to go bankrupt, and we'll leave this country to our kids and grandkids in a place that's not
even recognizable. Lastly, Bernie Marino, the Democratic plan is to increase taxes on American businesses. They tell American business owners, as you used to be, Number one, we're going to raise your taxes. Number two, you must pay all your employees amendmum of twenty bucks an hour. Number three, you have to provide fringe benefits, including paid family and medical leave for small and large business owners. And number four, guess what, We're going to
make it harder to sell your products. And by the way, this one, I'll cause inflation. So when you tell a business owner, we're going to grossly increase the cost of production and don't pass that on to your customers in the form of higher prices, We're going to come after you. Is that well it shouldn't surprise us, though, because these are people who have no idea how the economy, capitalism, or business works. So they're a
disaster. But we're going to point out is that Sharon Brown, who pretends to be somebody in the side at the working class, is a guy that just today is sitting idle. Why Biden is forcing these electric vehicle mandates. They're going to guid our auto industry, have us lose thousands of good paying union jobs, and so you can't be in the side of the working class
when everything that you vote for hurts those very people. As we speak, there's a huge electric vehicle factory being erected by the communist red Chinese in Mexico. They want to collapse the American automobile industry and send all those UAW jobs south to Mexico. And the Trumpster said, my first day in office, I'm going to put a one hundred percent tariff on cars from Mexico made in that ev factory, and we can't have it. Well, Bernie Marino,
good luck to you. You're in an incredible campaign. I say came out of nowhere. If somebody a year ago had told the great American there's a guy named Bernie Marino, I said, Weekends with Bernie. Bernie Marino is going to be the US Senate I would have said, Bernie who Now we
know it's Bernie Marino from the Nation of Columbia. A legal imm are gonna came here, put to work, thousands and thousands of people, sold tens of thousands of vehicles, cashed out his ticket, and now is going to serve the American people weekend at Bernie's Bernie Marino, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Into the month said we'll do it again. Thank you, Bernie, Thank you Bill. God bless America. I let's continue with more. Does that guy make sense or what I would
hope you would say? So? To continue the status quo anticipating different results is the definition of insanity. To continue with a Bernie Sanders lookalike shared Brown, acting as if we continue on the same course anticipating different votes ain't gonna happen. Let's continue with more if line becomes a five, three, seven,
four, nine, seven thousand. Of course, after two o'clock today, I have an expert on the Southern border, a documentarian who's gonna lay it out what's happening on the Southern You might recall when Trump was in office, kids in cages, unfairness, everywhere. We're going to spend a billion dollars on climate change mitigation in Mexico and now look where we are anticipating changes
with the same cast of characters. Is the definition of insanity. Let's continue with more Bill Hunning and the Grand American with you every day at Showman, The Reds, and so much more. News Radio seven hundred WW on College Kids ka as College
