3-6-25 Bill Cunningham Show

good news about Warren County. And of course the president of the Commission there is David Young, who's the main instigator of keeping the tennis tournament in Mason, etc. And David Young, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And I read this in one of the journals about Warren County. There's about three thousand, two hundred counties in America, and Warren County is number five. Is it a good list or a bad list?

five hundred dollars in a year. So the people inside of our county, their wages are rising.

remove it in the city of Cincinnati. Explain to me what Warren County's doing rights is causing this to happen.

through the state and is passed on to us. But you know, we have our own veterans levees and things like that inside of the county, so we're actually part of our sales tax as opposed.

and it's been a couple of quarters ago. Take a guess how many were actually on the unemployment role inside of Warren County.

Are you concerned that long term we're going to not have a workforce to handle the jobs that Trump's going to bring back.

cause of systemic inflation is wage pressure. And you and I taught about that a long time ago. If you remember Willy, when the Jerome pal and the Federal Reserve was coming out talking about, oh, this is just transitory inflation,

and I said, no, it's not. Because once you start paying somebody that was working out in the Amazon fact or distribution center fifteen bucks, and now all of a sudden, you got to pay them twenty bucks next month, you're not going back to paying the new employee fifteen dollars. That's systemic. Once it goes that wage is set from fifteen to twenty bucks, everybody subsequent to that is going to be making the twenty bucks. It's not going backwards.

So that's entrenched in the our economic conditions. So that's my concern is if you start all of a sudden saying, hey, there's a huge demand for workers and there's a limited supply of workers. All of a sudden, wages are going to shoot up, not naturally like we've had in Warren County, where it really is a supply and demand issue and it's in balance, where you artificially spike the demand for workers, wages are going to shoot up, and then I don't know how you avoid inflationary pressures.

US citizens. So we import workers that that's a better opportunity for them. They make more money while they're here, they send it a lot of it back. But while they're gamefully employed, they're welcome to be here as long as they comply with the law. But then once they're done, and we know when they're done with their employment, then they.

whatever it might be, and get that done now. Secondly, I want to get your reaction to the Tuesday night speech. Of the Trump's speech, he won over several eighty twenty items that the Democrats loathe, and by the way, this morning, Al Green, not the great singer, but the congressman appears to have been censored. But nonetheless, when he talked about criminal illegal aliens out of the country, that's eighty twenty.

When he talked about the men not playing women's sports and boys at Levin In High School not going into the girls' locker room, that's probably a ninety ten issue. Were you amazed at the reaction of the Democrats on Tuesday night?

hate Donald Trump. I hate to say that, but they just can't stand him, and so anything that comes out of his mouth, they are saying, we can't agree with a little boy that's you know, a cancer survivor that they make a secret service agent. You're going to sit on your hands for that? Are you kidding me? I mean, so it's this worthy opposition. We're the resistance. Nothing this

guy can do is going to be popular. As you said, even though eighty ninety percent of Americans are putting on the common sense hat of of course this makes sense. Of course we want to do this. Why aren't we doing this? And for them to be adamantly opposed to every policy position and saying nothing that can come out of his mouth, it is true, it's just wrong. And I think they're overplaying their hand and I think they're going to pay a price for it.

or two this is all going to work out? And it's going to be an agreement of one type or another and the market will return to sanity.

free market and we don't have protected industries. As a guy with an economics background, that's what I would like to see is more open fair trade to where you're good at something, they're good at something, and we trade back and forth and you focus on what you're actually good at But yeah, this idea that America has the intellectual capital that we produce most of the startups in the world. We come up with most of the new products in the world, not every new product, but from

drugs or technology or AI. Most of the new inventions that have been for the good of humanity have come from the US.

about five thousand Ohioans working in marijuana. Whether it's in the laboratories or the processors or in the stores, you have a large number of people working and they're productive. This year, one billion dollars will be taken out of the pockets of drug dealers who otherwise would have a billion dollars of Ohioan's money buying marijuana and god knows

what else. And it's being taxed to ten percent, which means the state's getting one hundred million dollars, which is a paltry sum compared to the fifty five billion dollar annual budget, but it is something. But you know, from my perspective, I would afford and encourage it because I like the idea of drug dealers making less money, and I like the idea of people going to work making a product to which so many of my fellow Ohioans

and Kentuckians want to use. And so now they want to double from ten percent to twenty and cut around the edges to make it more difficult, and don't give the townships and the small cities that allow these dispensaries to get to three point six percent can you are, Can you tell the American people in Warren County what is happening with recreational and medical pod in Warren County And where do you stand on the state almost regulating it out of existence.

There are people that are going to supply it. The demand is there, it's going to be filled, and so now are we're going to have it to where it's in the government's purview to be regulated and taxed and to some degree hopefully made safer because it's not going to be painted because you're buying it from an established, reputable place and it's not laced with sentinel or something crazy that's going to kill somebody. So that's the it's a binary choice in my in my opinion, that it's here,

it's not going away. You know, people know the side effects of it, and hopefully, you know, people are making their own decisions, but that's up to them. I mean, I'm, you know, kind of a libertarian at heart that that's their own personal choice. They know the upside and downside of this, and why not have this in the purview of the government where it can be regulated and taxed.

And if it's a constitutional amendment like the damn abortion thing that got passed, then the state legislature and the governor will have nothing to do with changing that law. And we don't want that constitutional amendment. Do you agree that that they ought to work together with the industry to come up with a solution.

I mean, it would be sickening. You know, Let people have what they want within confines, have it regulated, but don't try to overplay the hand and say nothing zero tolerance.

the nation willing I'll name them for you. Number one the home of this company called Walmart, bill Arkansas. Number two and number three were two counties in California that were the home of a company called Meta Facebook, and the other one was the home of Google and county Number four is Midland County, Texas, where it's the home of most of the major oil companies in our nation. So we lost out to the counties that are home to Walmart, Google, Facebook, and oil companies and then that's

Warren County. And I'm not exaggerating. That is literally the four counties that beat us. Good to work, only getting better with the Cincinnati Open coming in July and August is going to be great. And David Young once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And David, You're a great American. Thank you.

One of the top counties in America. There's about three two hundred counties in the United States, and Warren County, Ohio is number five in the nation relative to positive job growth and salary increases. So Warren County is safe and secure. It's nice, got things going on. Same thing

in Boone County, the home of the rebels. It's wonderful, not so much in many urban districts, Cincinnati and Hamley County is not much different or better than other urban districts that have a large amount of crime and has a not great job creation and expenses. Rules and regulations.

Can't fix the potholes, can't remove the snow. In Cincinnati, the city thereof is not much different than other areas controlled by liberal Democrats who have different priorities than fixing the potholes and holding prices down and making sure kids get educated one way or another. It's not unusual, not different. I want to set up for the rest of today's big show. At one o'clock today, we've scaled to come with us a person who, shall we say, is an expert.

This a little bit off track, but I love this tactic. Took is how the mob and gangsters have made big decisions in America resulting and the kind of government that we have. Going back to John F. Kennedy in nineteen sixty. Also, he's got a chapter on Donald Trump, how he matriculated the ins and outs of Ohio and I'm sorry New

York construction dealing with the mob. Also, did you know that the FBI tortured Ku Klux Klan members to find out who killed the Mississippi Mississippi freedom Fighters and Megah Reverens's murderer and LBJ was on the he went to a jag or Hoover and said, you know what, we got to find out who's hurting these civil rights workers in Mississippi. And so the FBI contracted to elements of the mob to kidnap, torture, and beat the death Ku Klux Klan members to find out who was doing this.

And I guess today that wouldn't be real popular. But you know, one of the reasons that Yellowstone and The Godfather were popular was because of street justice outside the norm and the Dutton Ranch Yellowstone same way that Godfather movies. There was a certain family atmosphere, but if you cross the family, there were consequences. I'm not sure today those things happened, but they happened in the past. So my

guest after one o'clock today is Eric Desenhaal. He's written a book about the Mob and the presidencies and how the president presidents going back to FDR used the mob for good purposes and killing and threatening people. And I guess he kept things under control. And then after two o'clock today is a professor John Ellis about DEI and CRT and how this is confusing many Americans as to

what is a discrimination. It is not discrimination. I don't think you you in discrimination by keep practicing it simply against a different race or a different gender. It's not the way to do it. It may take five to ten to twenty years to work ourselves out of this situation where a person's skin color, or sex orientation or something else has something positive or negative to do about getting them hired. To me, it should have no impact at all. I work with gay Americans, I work with

straight Americans. I work with black Americans, and white Americans and Hispanic Americans. I do and probably you do too. No big deal. It should not be a benefit or a cost to have a certain skin color. And at some point we have to stop the madness. And if you listen to one of my guests coming up, that America was the along with Britain, ended the process of importation of slaves in the Central America and South America. The Arabs and muslim continued it. Most of the Africans

continued it for centuries. In fact, it happens today. There's more slaves alive today than at any time in human history numerically, and I'm proud of my country to stop it and a fight against it. So DEI does not affirmative action, really doesn't fit the idea that skin colors should not be a benefit and it should not be a cost merit underlying the word mayor is what should matter.

That's coming up later with Professor John Ellis. But until then, I note that the trade deficit, according to Bloomberg, surged in January to one hundred and thirty four billion dollars in one month, So we're on track once again for more than one trillion dollars in trade deficits as a nation. That is what the tariffs are about. And by the way it appears right now, the Trumpster has suspended the tariffs for another thirty days or whatever to work out

a deal which everyone knew was coming anyway. But the

market's down crazy. But you can't have a trillion dollars every year flowing out of the country on a negative basis continue that for a long time, along with two trillion dollars every year and budget deficits that the budget this year is going to be about six point five trillion, and we only collect four point four trillion and receipts and income tax payments to the irs, which means we've go out and borrow two trillion dollars every year out

of the market while shipping a trillion dollars plus overseason dollars. It cannot continue. It's got to stop, and I have some doubt I all confess to this whether Donald John Trump can actually stop it or not. Because to eliminate the Department of Education, which is a great idea, because it has failed miserably that you're going to have to have the Congress at some point passing laws eliminating it.

And when you need sixty votes in the Senate to do anything significant, that's a problem because Democrats will never agree that they failed when it comes to public education, which is an unmitigated disaster in this country. We keep doing the same things, anticipating differing results, and keep spending more money to solve problems caused by human misbehavior and

out of lack of funding. I also would note, just in a simple way, that most countries have tariffs that keep American products out of their country and the tariffs America charges other countries to bring the items into this country generally are much less than vice versa, and so at some point there's got to be a level of playing field. Milk, for example, is a two hundred and

fifty percent tariff. If you want to take American milk and transport it to Canada across the border, it's two and a half times two hundred and fifty percent increase. We can't have that. Either we have a fair playing ground or we do not, And the media doesn't report it that way, but I just did. It's important. Also would note that Walmart this morning asked its suppliers for

major price cuts. There are literally hundreds of thousands of small businesses and large businesses that supply products to Walmart. They have some of their own shop brands, such as Target or Costco, but largely they have hundreds of thousands or millions of suppliers that give them the products that you buy. And Walmart knows what's coming. Inflation is not going down anytime soon. It's going up, no matter who's

in the White House. Is going up. And so when Walmart and Tarja and Costco are having pricing problems, that's a problem. I also would note that the job creation last month was about forty seven thousand jobs, which is bad. The stocks are dropping on confusion plus recession fears. Americans have fallen way behind on car payments at the highest rate in decades, ringing the story out of the Wall Street Journal quote, Americans fall behind on car payments at

the highest rate in decades. In January, those missing their monthly car payments was the highest rate in thirty years seven percent. Seven percent of car loans were not paid back on time, and there's another nine percent that are more than sixty days laid on their car payments, and

the Federal Reserve recently reported it. This is three weeks ago that the share of auto loans among all borrowers had transitioned into serious delinquency to find his ninety days or more, which rose an additional three percent to about ten percent in the fourth quarter of last year. The latest spike in delinquencies among subprime borrowers comes at a pivotal time for the US economy, since Donald Trump is

now in charge. All these things happened, by the way, in twenty three and twenty four and in January, before Trump essentially took office. He wasn't in office till January the twentieth, and just now his policies have been articulated and they're going to take effect later this year. But I guarantee you that Donald Trump will be pinned by the media and by the Democrats with all these problems caused by a gross increase in government spending a forty

five percent increase since twenty nineteen. Add on top of that a trillion dollar deficit, every trade deficit every year as far as the eye can see, and entitlements that are through the roof. The way to solve the problem is well known, which is increase the retirement age for those under the age of forty five from sixty six to sixty eight. And for those of us on Social Security that don't need the money, you don't get the money, and the other ways you can cut around the sides.

Also Medicaid. If you can work, you're able bodied, you out of work to take the burden off taxpayers. Medicare is another difficulty because every day there's seven thousand Americans every day of my generation who retire and sign up for Medicare, seven thousand per day, and believe me. The medical expenses are through the roof. It's typical for one American maybe to have in one lifetime above the age sixty five, more than a million dollars each in medical

payments and pharmaceutical drugs, et cetera. Not unusual at all, and honestly, we can't afford it. So if you're rich and you can afford your own medical care, you should do that. And if you don't need Social Security because of financial considerations, you shouldn't get it, And that would help those that don't have the same financial means. And to raise the retirement age from sixty six right now to sixty eight up to the age of seventy for those under forty five years old. It's a smart way

to go. But I'm not sure politically we can do any of that stuff because it takes sixty votes in the Senate and it's unlikely the Democrats are going to play ball with that kind of stuff. So you add this all together. One of the first payments a person makes is to their car payment, because without a car, you can't get around. It's difficult. When you have record delinquencies and high rates. That's an early indicator that the

recession is coming. Throw on top of that the uncertainties in the world, and there are many uncertainties in the world, but you know what they are. And it's a major problem. And Donald Trump is going to be victimized by the policies of the past four or five years, of which he had no control over, but he'll be pinned with it. And twenty nineteen from now a forty five percent increase

in federal government budgeting. Forty five percent increase in the last five years from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four. Unbelievable have we had forty five percent? And also hiring of federal employees has gone up by something in the range of one hundred and fifty thousand federal employees who are put on for the past four years that are now trying to be let go by Donald Trump. But that's damn near impossible. But the stocks are dropping, Recession

fears are mounting. Suppliers of an s by Walmart to cut their prices. The trade deficit has surged to levels

in the month of January. Card delinquencies are rampant, and sometime in the next two weeks is going to be something called a cr a Continuing Resolution a CR, and that means that the Republicans have to sign on to the idea that the current spending will continue until the next CR, in the next CR, in the next CR, and that means that the moneys for the Department of Education, the moneies for USAID are going to be agreed upon by the Republicans to continue. How does that work? I

don't know. I do not know, But those in the know say there's some difficult days ahead to try now to get your financial house in order. One good thing, it appears that mortgage rates are going to come down, so that's a positive. But job creation is difficult. You heard David Young from Warren County talk about guest worker programs, which is a wonderful thing. If Americans won't take certain jobs because they don't want to work, or life's too easy, or why do I have to work when I get

stuff for nothing, have a guest worker program. Knowing who the illegals are and make them legal, have them guest workers. We have a guest worker program right now, by the way, make it ten times larger. And if those around the world want to come, we know who they are. Here's your fingerprints. A little bit of your history. This is where you're going to live. You're going to pay taxes, by the way, sales tax, social security taxes, et cetera. And if you want to send money back home, so

be it. But we want to know who you are, where you came from, what's your record, and what are you going to do. And it's got to be renewed every two or three years, and then bring in tens of millions of workers, which, by the way, or here anyway, either above the table or beyond below the table, so many Americans refuse to work. In addition to all that, we have a terrible education problem in which our schools are not preparing kids for the for the jobs of

the future. I noted the letter to the editor of the Inquir Burrow Love put it in the editor and which there's a woman studies person who is somewhat offended that women's studies and DEI enrollments are down because her diploma will be worthless in the future, in the world of the future. Well, yes, if you come out of UC or Xavier, NKU and your major in women's studies are the effects of DEI. Hopefully those are not marketable skills. In the future. You may know a lot about stuff

that doesn't matter. I know a lot about stuff that doesn't matter, but I can tell you you're not going to be a productive citizen. It's going to be difficult and difficult and difficult. And so we need to reform completely education. And I don't think we have the power to do it. The judges will stop it or the Democrats won't agree to it. Donald Trump can do all that he can do, but it's going to be less than what he should do because of the system that

we have, and we have a great system. I wouldn't trade our problems for anyone in the face of the earth. And America is better positioned now than every country and the face of the earth to continue toward greatness. We finally have a president that'll think outside the box and do things to make America great again. And for this to succeed, jd Vance has got to be the next

president for eight years. We can't go through four years of Trump and back to Biden and four years of Trump done back to I don't know, Kamala Harris, are you kidding me? And then keep that going for it. No, we can't survive. We can't continue with two trillion dollars a year and national deficits added to the debt. We can't continue with a trillion dollars a year and trade deficits in which we send dollars overseas and get little or nothing back. We can't do it. Then we can't

survive long term, five to ten years. The country we turn over our kids is going to be significantly less than the country given to us by our parents. And I know it, and you know it. We've got to buckle up. The behavior of the Democrats recently, it's been reprehensible.

It's been cartoonish contindue. Today when al Green was censured for standing up and disrupting the speech of the President and the House of Representatives and then shaking as Kane, and then there were several dozen or so Democrats as he was being censored, enveloped him as al Green raised his Kane again about ten thirty this morning, and they're all singing, we shall overcome, overcome what your own racism, overcome, what your own bad behavior, overcome, what your cartoonish, ridiculous

acts committed on Tuesday night, Well, I don't think so. Thank god, we moved to a better day. So let's continue and stay tuned for this. I read this book recently from Eric Dosenhall about how the Mob and others had been used by the FBI, the CIA, and by presidents from FDR forward for the betterment of our society in a sense and did in fact. Is it true that the Mob elected John F. Kennedy in nineteen sixty

stealing one hundred thousand votes in Chicago? Is it true that the Mob went into the Ports of Call in New York Harbor and beat up Nazi sympathizers under the behest of the FBI? Is it true that LBJ had numerous sexual affairs. Is it true that Donald Trump did not build a Trump Tower with a steal so he could pay off the concrete makers in New York City? Is that true? And my guests coming up says a

lot of that stuff is true. So if a line becomes available, you know the routine five three, seven, four, nine, seven pounds seven hundred, the new at and t difficult days lie ahead, and the helmsman is going to be Donald Trump and nodded Kamala Harris and hopefully for years to come. We're in a cycle where Americans though we didn't need a real leader with real coyones and a vision that Donald Trump has and that Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi lack. Let's continue twelve fifty six, Home You Reds.

Three weeks from day it all begins. We need the Reds back in Tito I trust on news radio seven hundred, Wow, Billy and the Great American. Of course, for years we've been told that the Mob, the gangsters have connections to the citadels of power in Washington, d C. And it's alleged somehow that the Kennedy election took place in nineteen sixty because of John F. Kennedy's dad that kind of set it up through the mob and through the mayor who was mayor. Daily also have some indications of Frank

Sinatra's connection to the Mob and Hollywood connections. Also, there's been allegations that Donald Trump has ties to construction and gambling cartels and more, and that Biden's early links to the Irishman Frank sheeron the laboring in official and enforce over Jimmy Hoffa, And there's always that connection, that belief, but so much has not come out. Eric Desenhall is the author of a great book out now. It's called Wise Guys and the White House Gangsters Presidents and Deals

they made. And once again Eric Dosenhall, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, let's deal with the current president before we talk about the Kennedys and the Johnson's and Jaeger Hoover, etc. What are the ties, if any, of Donald Trump to construction and gambling cartels. Give me a full report.

an international industry. He used concrete. Concrete is controlled was at that time by two companies that owned by the Gambino and Genevie's families, and a little bit by some others. So all Donald Trump did is he paid very well for that concrete and he got labor peace. There is no law against paying too much. And when people when people say things like when I mean Trump drives people crazy, when he says, that just makes me smart when he's

accused of something. But whether you like him or not, I think he might be right about that.

Lansky's partner, Meyer was Himen Roth and The Godfather, and Jimmy Alow said, look, we just got done with Cuba. We don't want to start messing around with this stuff. We're licking our wounds. Talk to your buddy Sinatra. Joe Kennedy talked to Frank Sinatra, who then spoke to the

Chicago Outfit boss sam Gy and Kanna. Interestingly, a lot of the other mob bosses in Chicago were not thrilled about the idea of doing business with the politicians because they didn't trust them, and I think that that not all mobsters were very high on the idea of working with working with political figures. In any event, what the Chicago outfit provided to JFK was help with labor getting

out the vote in Illinois, West Virginia, New Jersey. Now there's a big question mark in my mind about whether any of this turn earned the election. But the point to me is that help from the mafia was sought, and help from the mafia was received. Where things get interesting with the Kennedys is the plots to kill Castro. There is no question in my mind JFK and RFK

wanted Castro dead. When RFK found out that the mob who he was prosecuting was used, he was furious, and the CIA ended up saying, look, Bobby, you want this guy dead, but you only want us to use the nicest people to do it.

probably different, which was to get something on the Kennedys, and they didn't. They didn't really succeed and ended up walking away licking their wounds. I also think that one of the conclusions I have in the book is that overall, the people, the politicians and the businessmen who knew how to use the mob, shared better than the mobsters themselves.

They weren't exactly unhappy about it. But one of the things the wire taps picked up is the mob guys going, we bet we're going to get blamed for this and they're going to kill us. Because one of the things that you know, you take a mobster like my hometown guy, Angelo Bruno of Philadelphia in South Jersey, they picked him up on tape saying that one of his guys shoved an FBI agent and the FBI guys nearly beat him to death. The mob knew who who had the muscle,

and it wasn't them. When compared to the federal government, you don't mess with the Feds.

a bootlegger. He was too smart to be a bootlegger. He was able to find ways to do things technically legally, and that's what made him such a character.

Hoover was absolutely focused on communism and was convinced that the Civil rights movement was funded by Moscow, some of which is true, but the civil rights movement would have happened anyway.

And Hoover had a problem on his hands. He didn't have had not infiltrated the KKK in any meaningful way. They had just flipped a guy named Greg Scarpa of the Colombo crime family, an absolutely psychopathic killer, and they dispatched Greg Scarpa on several different occasions to Mississippi and other areas of the South to torture KKK members and sympathizers to give up the killers of the civil rights activists. If you look at the movie Mississippi Burning, they have

an African American FBI agent torturing the KKK. It that was not what happened. It was a mafio so named Greg Scarpa, who was for thirty five years or so was an active member of the Columbo crime family. And he was also a snitch and a torturer for the FBI, at least during those early years.

by communism. He didn't want no part of that. Now, let's move on to the deal caught with Lucky Luciano to protect the New York City waterfront during World War Two. This was FDR explained what Luciana did to protect America and believe it or not, isn't it true that most gangsters were somewhat patriotic?

up and caught fire in New York. It was suspected at that time it was Nazi sabotage because Nazi U boats were seen going up and down the Hudson and off the coast of New York. The Navy went to the docks to try to get cooperation to be on the lookout for Nazi sympathizers, but the doc workers told them no, we're not going to help people in uniform because they thought they didn't want to be snitches for

the government. They realized they had a problem. So they had a problem because many of the Italians resented the government because Italians were declared enemy aliens by FDR. So what ended up happening is they realized, you know, we better go to a different type of mobster. They went to may Or Lansky, who was Jewish and was Lucky Luciano's partner. Lanski visited Luciano got an agreement to get cooperation on the docks, to allow the Navy to infiltrate

the docks, and to also harass Nazi sympathizers. I mean, they were beating the daylights out of them all over New York. And it's hard to imagine in this day and age there was a large Nazi movement in New York City, but there was, and so the mob provided two services. They harassed Nazi sympathizers and made the docks

inhospitable for Zazi saboteurs. But when it came time to invade Sicily, as General Patton did, Lanski and Luciano provided contacts in Sicily for the American military to use to understand the beaches better, Where is it better to land, How can we get support from mafia in Sicily, and at the end of it, what Luciano got in return is he was in prison, and he had been in prison since nineteen thirty six, and he ended up being

had was freed from prison, but he was deported. And one of the other reasons Meyer Lansky was approached was he had attempted to enlist in the army, but he was too old, he was forty, and too short he was five to four. But Meyer was so taken with his experience with the military that he sent his son to West Point.

today because they're in league with Hamas. I can only imagine, going back forty or fifty years before social media, what the FBI and what the mob would have done to Hammas sympathizers. It would not have been good.

thanks so much, Bill, God bless America. Let's continue with more Street Justice, Yellowstone, and the Godfather on news Radio seven hundreds.

Well, segment give me out of the student's report coming up next to his professor, John ellis about race, discrimination, slavery,

and DEI. He puts the cheese on the cracker Willie and utter of happy birthday, the one of our own, mister Robert Trumpy, only eighty eight years young today, the Trumpster, Happy birthday. We leave you with the immortal words of the stud report.

my name's West. Don't get me in this mess. My news radio seven hundred.

corporate America and across the government. That is that being of a certain race or a certain sexual orientation, either as a benefit or a cost. And these immutable traits generally perceived as not being particularly relevant when it comes to merit. But that's not the way that we're being organized.

Joining you and I Alis Professor John Ellis. Professor John Ellis has written several books, one of which his Critical Race Theory is an inversion of history, and his author also the author of a Short History of Relations between Peoples and Professor John Ellis, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham

Show and Professor. First of all, I've read the article in the Wall Street Journal, which is fabulous, and you begin by saying, attribute a sorts to critical race theory success that the Trump administration will make it's a ratific ratification a priority. Describe what America was beginning I guess about a month and a half ago when Trump took office. How many years as CRT and DEO percolated into the groundwater.

I would note that at the Oscars, you can't be qualified even to be considered for a movie to get some Oscar award if you're not CRT and DEI compliant. So there were one hundred and twenty movies that were not screened as possible getting the best picture because they didn't have enough gay people, or disabled people or persons of color. First of all, described to the American people before Trump office, what is the status of DEI and CRT in America as of about a month or two ago?

California banned affirmative action. I mean that's they banned the process of considering a skin color as a qualification for employment. It banned that in nineteen ninety six. Now ever since then the universities have been trying to think of ways to get around it, and this fancy title diversity equity inclusion was in fact their main way of doing it. So it kind of inflated the whole thing with fell out of fancy terminology at a lot of complexity and

so on. But it was just as illegal. It's the same idea, but actually the whole society had been almost taken over by it. I mean, our schools, our universities are training for the professions. Like for example, if you wanted to be a journalist, you can bet that every journalism school on every campus of every university was going to give you a big dose of DEI in your training. Being for lawyers, same people are almost thing. So it

had really got our society by the throat. And as soon as Trump came into office, he just started to ban the whole thing. And most of the citizens of this country brigs lib relief because no one likes it except these people that have managed to take over, uh, the universities. They've taken over uh, you know, corporate boards, They've taken over professional associations. You know, they've taken over

non governmental organizations. And when that happens, it like in California, even the most left wing of the states, they've been two ballots on on these ideas, both of them our side, one handsomely. I mean, so even in the most left wing state in the country, d I goes down if you put it on the ballot. So what these people do is they work still fully. They get hold of corporate boards, they get hold of professional associations, so behind closed doors they managed to get their ideas into place.

They work secretly, and they you know, they twist ms everywhere, and before you know it, the whole society has been you know, infiltrated with this stuff.

to fifteen years of education. I'm a lawyer, you go through that. I was in school directly or indirectly until I was like twenty five, twenty six years old, during a time where it was a big deal. And I can recall the Baki decision in which the Supreme Court ruled thirty years ago before that, twenty years before that, you can't use race when determining whether someone gets hired or fired or whatever, because that is shall we say, racism itself. But the Left has turned this idea on

its head. If you don't believe in racial selections, then you're the racist. You say in your story, the accusations made in closed training sessions are astonishingly venomous, arrogant white supremacy, is ubiquitous. White rage results when that supremacy is challenged. Whites hold money in power because they stole it from

other racists. Systematic racism and capitalism keep the injustices going more so they turn the argument on you and me and other people would think, wait a minute, race should not count. That we're the racist when we say we shouldn't be racist, But they're the racist because they say it does count. I say it doesn't count. They say it does count. Where in the hell in twenty years from now, where we're going to be it this continues, Let's talk about the Trump presidency. If he's not successful

and this continues, we're in trouble. I think we're in trouble now.

most good for all of us. And the result of that is, of course, you have a very prosperous society because all the talent you have available is exploited to the best possible extent for the good of everybody. Once you start to stop doing that, stop putting your best talent in the right place at the right time, you're going to reduce the efficiency of society. Right your whole society is given less happy, it's going to be less prosperous. It's going to be it's gonna be divided racially, it's

gonna be business. Yes, yes, it's a horrible outcome. Horrible.

thousand in about ninety minutes on the battle. Men, women and children slaughtered the lot in just a few moments.

So the whole world was a really tribal and rather vicious place, and the beginning of a change in that came mainly in Britain in the eighteenth century, when some philosophers like John Locke and David Hume started to say, look, everyone, all people's on earth are basically the same underneath, depending on how they're how they're raised, what society there is, they they're all table looked good if only the faith

in the right way. But that attitude was so powerful that within one hundred years the British had banned slavery. Now they were the first to band slavery. Not only that they were the first country that had an extensive discussion of what was wrong with slavery, and there was a public it was public thing. They the Brits were because they were so prosperous because of the free market system. They had about half the population of literate in the

eighteenth century. No other country had that kind of widespread literacy, So you had public opinion that developed because of the because people could read, public opinion became a huge force, and that powered the discussion of the rights of every human being to be free, and that that produced the end of at the end of slavery in Britain and then in North America.

stopped it. Abraham Lincoln, fifty years before the Emancipation Proclamation, we prohibited the importation of slaves into the country. We're the only ones that did it. We get no credit, zero credit reparations. Everyone pays because who's got the deepest pocket. But I'm proud to be an American that we stopped slavery while in Africa it continued.

transitlan slave trade. They were the only group that was actually actively And you know what happened as a result, that the slave trade, which had been moving slaves from the western edge of Africa to America, the African slave traders instead, because they were stopped by the British on the west of Africa, they moved their slave trade to

the eastern end of Africa and they continued. So all they did was simply avoid the British navy by going to the other side of Africa to mount their operations from. But I mean, there's just no question about it. Africa continued slave trading after the Europeans were stopping it, and you know it had trived different. As you say, the one thing that's unique about the Anglosphere, I mean Britain and America, the one thing is unique about them as

far as slaver as coincided. They stopped it. Nobody else stopped it.

in Africa and Asia. So when you talk about reparations, the slave trade in the Atlantic, slave trade could not have existed without African tribes selling each other into slavery. Correct, The Africans originated the slave.

was the British Empire. Now everybody blames the British for imperialism, but in fact that in hundreds of empires going back, you know, thousands of years, the last empire was the British. What was it the last one? Because the British said the empire is not a good idea and they dissolved their own empire. No empire ever dissolved itself before. The reason for the end of the Roman Empire was they got defeated militarily. The end of the Ottoman Empire, Tooks,

was because they lost, They lost the war. But the British lose militarily. They voluntarily decided that everybody preserved to have their own freedom.

imprisoned and the captain was hanged in the US. So America and Britain were the only two countries they said, wait a minute, these black folks from Africa have value. In fact, the word slaves come from Slavs, which is an Eastern European term. The Muslims, the Arabs, the Africans, the Asians participated fully in the slave trade, and damn in America stopped it along with England. But we get

no credit because there's no money in it. There's money in CRT, there's money in DEI, an eight billion dollar industry per year, but there's no money in complementing America correct.

ways in which they try to do it. But as you said, I mean they're completely mistaken. We were the heroes of that situation racism, anti racism. We were the ones that began the idea of anti racism.

Britain's an American said this must be stopped. But thank you and the professor John Allison, thanks for coming on setting the record straight. And you're a great Britain. I'm a great American and God bless you.

Big story the Inquire today about your good friend pac Van Jones who was with a neon dion saying that he uh he uh lied in all the urine tests and that uh he never he took urine test all the time. But it wasn't

his urine. Whose urine was it? Was it your urine? It was not my urine? No, is that what he said? It was he took someone else's, well somebody, Carl, was it yours? It wasn't mine?

So he beat all those drug tests that way, Yes, he said, I it's someone else's urine. How do you get someone else's urine in?

a drug test, you can't play for me. Not because I care if you're smoking marijuana, but it's because you're either dependent, which means you can't give it up for a month, or you're too stupid to figure out and know when the date is and work back.
