Now Billy cutting into Great American Of course, Senator jd Vance has been at the forefront of presenting viewpoints on the southern border and the American economy and the drug dependencies so many Americans have because of his book and where he began. He's a lawyer also, US senator has been there a couple of years.
Senator jd Vance, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, I want to get into the issues of the gangsters and money and murder that's dominating the Chinese organized crime, illegal and marijuana market, plus what's happening with fentanyl. But I watched some of the Sunday morning talk shows yesterday
you came under fire from Senator Mitt Romney. We did a great job as a presidential candidate, by the way, losing easily, and he kind of went after you as a freshman senator for going to the Trump trial and New York City where the Democratic activists are coming after Donald Trump. Can you respond to what Senator Romney said? He kind of said you should know your role and shut your mouth and not go to Trump's trial. Why did you go? Well, it's funny. Mitt Rodney's been on pretty much every side of
every major American issue. He didn't like Donald Trump, and then he begged him for Secretary of Stay. Then he didn't get it, and he didn't like Donald Trump again. Then Mitt Romney of course begged him for his endorsement when he ran for the Senate the first time, and as soon as he got it, he basically flipped again. So I do not take advice from Mett. My attitude is, look, you work with your colleagues, agree or disagree, and I'll work with at Robney if I can do something that
is going to help the people of Ohio. But otherwise, I just don't understand this tit for tat from a guy who has clearly checked out and look on the actual substance of what he's saying. The reason I went to the
Trump trial is twofold. First of all, I think it was a completely shammed prosecution where they're going after the leader of the opposition, the presidential candidate representing the Republican Party, on completely bogus charges, and on top of it, they are placing the guy on a on a gag order where he can't even speak about it. And you know, I'm a friend of President Trump's I know this frustrates them, and so I just decided to go up there
and show a little moral support. I think it's a completely reasonable thing for a person to do in public affairs is go up there, shows some moral support for a friend and also speak about against an injustice that you think is happening. And I'll keep on doing it, keep on doing it, Senator Van say, as you know, these are political operatives. These are all
left wingers going after Trump. Whether it's the judge himself who gave money to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, his daughter has monetized it to the tunes of about one hundred million dollars collecting money off the Trump trial. And the chief prosecutors was number three at the Department of Justice and Biden sent him New York City to prosecute Donald Trump. And the same thing going to be said in Atlanta
or Washington, d C. Their political activist seeking a goal. When you were in the courtroom, I've had legal experts say it's a dark, dingy place, that the bathrooms a round u usable, that is stinks. They keep the temperature cold in New York City because of all the cockroaches and mice. Did you have a censure in some legitimate legal proceeding or was it a star chamber? No, it felt like it came to recurt. You're right, it is very dingy. It's a very depressing place. No windows.
Uh. And you know the most important thing, of course, Willie, is you hit the nail on the head. You have a actual Biden Harris donor a person who donated their presidential campaign. Who's the Projet presiding judge in the case, the prosecutor who is Soros funded, ran on going after Donald Trump, not for any reasons of justice, but for reasons of politics.
You had a Biden administration official who jumps ship from the Biden administration to go and join the prosecuting team right at the moment that they were prosecuting Donald Trump. It's just obviously a joke. And you know, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you're they're voting for Donald Trump or Joe Biden. We can't live in a country where we try to throw the guy who lost the presidential
election in jail. If you if you want to go after somebody, you need to do it for reasons of justice of law, not because you don't like their politics, and Democratic Republican Willie, I don't want to grow up and live in the third I don't. I don't want to wake up in a third world country where we go after the other side because it helps us politically, we use our justice system to bring criminals to justice, not because
we're worried we can't win a presidential election. And that's exactly what Biden is doing. But think about this. We're coming into the home stretch of a presidential election cycle and Joe Biden can't talk about inflation because it's a disaster. He can't talk about creating jobs, he can't talk about the border, he can't talk about the things that actually improve people's lives. And so what he's
trying to do is throw his political opponent in jail. It's so obvious, it's it's on its face absurd, and I think if we don't have Republican leadership willing to call it out, then we are going to wake up one day and live in the third world country. Two issues you've been greatly concerned
about is the southern border. I see a headline under May the fifteenth, most ruthless Mexican cartels operate in all fifty states according to the DEA, and some of the numbers of fentanyl they've seized are off the charts, and the
experts say that they get less than ten percent. I look at one raid that had approximately six hundred and fifty thousand methamphetamine, seventeen automatic weapons, two hundred and forty thousand dollars in cash seized by the DEA, and another report out of Dallas, Texas they have found in one location enough fentanyl to kill every American twice. I'm looking at the cartel selling rainbow fentanyl pills which can
kill on demand. Seize twenty one kilograms of pure fentanyl, seventy thousand rainbow colored fentanyl pills, three thousand blue fentanyl pills, two undred and fifty pounds of crystal meth, two kilos of cocaine, and now the most ruthless drug cartel in the world. The Mexicans are operating in all fifty states. Along with this, Senator Vance headline Gangster's money and murder. How Chinese organized gangs
are now dominating through murder and intimidation America's illegal marijuana market. So what's happening on the southern border when fentanyl, cocaine and tens of thousands of military age Chinese are coming across the southern border to work in these plotfarms, what the hell's going on? Well, what's going on is exactly what Sony of predicted will you, which is if you let drug runners cartels control your southern border,
it's going to become a war zone. And of course we knew the Mexican drug cartels are maybe the worst actors, but as soon as they started making a lot of money, other people were to come in and it's really become a sort of organized crime operation zone because Joe Biden, will and enforced American law. You know, we have talked before, Willie, and I know you're on top of this stuff. The fentanyl, the fact that you have a lot of people still dying from fintanel overdoses record numbers of people.
Of course, the sex trafficking, the child trafficking that these guys are engaged in because they're making a lot of money doing that. Two things that are really worth pointing out here. I spoke to a DEA agent probably a year or so ago, and he told me that from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three, the Mexican drug cartels have gone from making about nine hundred million dollars to over fifteen billion dollars per year. So this is now a major international
terrorist organization that's very well funded. Now, the other thing that's worth pointing out here, WILLI, is that this is destabilizing Mexican government. It is in our interest to have a Mexican government that can control its own border, you know, where where they're doing better economically, so people are encouraged to
come here illegally. If you turn Mexico using the clock back on it, into a true banana republic, you know, think of this nineteen styles Colombia, nineteen seventy style Colombian government where they're really the cartels are actually the power center of that society. Do you think that's not going to affect us? Our closest neighbor, one of our most important trading partners, becomes a narco state that is going to destabilize our country for generations to come. And it's
happening because of Joe Biden's overborder senator vance. In the last quarter of last year, forty eight thousand illegals from China came across the mection border. First quarter this year, it's about thirty four thousand eruptor we can identify seventy five thousand military age Chinese men illegally coming into the country, and they're the workers and the pot farms. I'm looking at a story that in the state of
Maine, you would think Maine would be somewhat innocuous. Four thousand pot operations inside buildings and out are operating right now in Maine and the state of In the state of California, they have identified ten thousand illegal pot farms. How many workers you have to have? They have Chinese police stations in major cities, and they have Chinese laboratories in which they take over empty buildings and brew up bachulism, Herpe's gone rhea, piorrhea, a diarrhea of the black plague.
And our government is oblivious to these challenges. What will Trump do to stop one hundred thousand fentanyl deaths and maybe a trillion dollars hundreds of billions of dollars given to the Chinese through the illegal pot operations in America plus the fentanyl, to say nothing of the sex trafficking of girls and boys. What would Trump do to stop it fling. The most important thing that he do, WILLI, is seen a very clear signal that America is no longer open for
I legal immigration. We have to finish the border wall. Of course, we have to really get serious about sending substantial numbers of I think the US military Willy and has talked about that, to make it clear that the American southern border is closed. If you want to come in, you have to
come through the proper channels. The second thing we have to do, WILLI, and it's not necessarily nice to talk about, is we're going to have to deport a lot of the people who have already come here illegally, because we really have to send a message that if you break the law you come into this country illegally, you're going to be sent back. And if people realize that and appreciate that, it's going to make them less likely to break
our laws a second or a third time. And you know, a lot of Democrats are very uncomfortable sort of pushback against this idea that you can report anybody. If you're not willing to deport somebody, Willie, you don't have an actual border law, because if they break it, they have to suffer consequences for it. And if you look at the polling, the American people
are with us. They recognize you have to be willing to deport people, and I think that will substantially reduce the flow of illegal drugs but also of illegal human traffiing that we're seeing across that southern border. Kristen Welker yesterday one after Marco Rubio for suggesting that maybe twenty to thirty million illegals need to be
deported, and she talked about concentration camps like Oschwitz. She talked about the idea that we have to have holding sales for twenty to thirty thousand people and the American people. I saw a poll that said seventy five percent of Republicans say yes, and about forty percent of Democrats say yes. Because you can't identify a problem until you say, number one, the border is shut down. At number two, we're going to greatly encourage those to leave the country.
If you don't leave voluntarily, we're going to throw you out. Can you take a stand to say that we're going to have camps of tens of thousands of illegals ready to be deported. How would that practically work. Well. The media, of course, has completely lost their minds comparing this to Auschwitz, right yeah, yeah, yeah, And in just a little in Auschwitz and the Holocaust, we're talking about rounding up people in their own country
so that you can kill them. What we're talking about is border enforcement is saying you have to go back to your home country and if you want to come in, come through the proper channels. Uh, there's of course going to be you know, you're going to have to facilitate this in some way. You're going to have to go around knocking on people's doors saying, hey, you've come here legally, please come with us. We're going to fly
you back home. There is going to be some law enforcement component to this, But the goal here is not which is is absurd that the media doesn't appreciate this. The goal here is not to make people miserable. The goal is to enforce our border laws so that our own our own citizens aren't dying
by the tens of thousands of fiannel overdoses. And the fact that these people think about this willi The fact that they're comparing this to the Holocaust shows that they don't see American citizens as having any real interests in their own country, because if you want to enforce America's border laws for the interests of American citizens, no, no, they say, that's not okay, that's comparable to
the Holocaust. And that shows to me that they care more about the interests of the illegal aliens who have come into our country than the American citizens who are suffering from it. Lastly, about a minute remaining, Senator Vance, the economically, I hear democratic activists, the left wing say, among other things, the stock markets at an all time high, unemployments almost at an
all time low, and that things are great. When Joe Biden tries to speak, he said the other day that when he was the vice president, that Barack Hussein Obama as the president, send him to Detroit to solve the problem of the pandemic. And so this guy's completely checked out. He doesn't even know what years he was the vice president, for God's sakes. But nonetheless, how do you respond to those who say these aren't the best of
times, these are the worst of times economically for average Americans. Well, it really is an unfortunate time economically, willing, I don't take any happiness in that. I wish show Biden's economic policies weren't such a disaster. But the proof is in the pudding. If you're a young American trying to buy
a home, interest rates are through the rooms. If I hear all the time from constituents back home that food is higher than it's ever been, groceries, of course, energy, you know, don't try to buy a new house, whether you're young or old, because it's expensive and the interest rates are through the roof. Don't try to start a small business right now because it's so expensive to borrow money. So this is really making people feel,
and I think rightfully so, that they're being left behind economically. We need to turn over a new leaf, Willie. We can't keep on telling people no, don't believe the evidence of your own eyes. You're actually doing fine economically. The American people don't buy it, which is why I think they're
going to like Donald Trump in twenty twenty four. Well, don't listen to met Romney, Senator Vance, You'll do fine, And don't listen to meet the press and Joy Stephanopolis, who begins every speech as if saying, you know what Adolph Hitler is running And this time he's got bad blonde hair in an orange tan. And when you start comparing Trump to Hitler and start comparing our immigration policies to the Holocaust, you've lost the argument completely. And most
Americans have figured that out. But Senator, yeah, go aheady. I care far more about the opinion of the cunning Hand and as listeners than I do about Mitt Romney. They'll stay true. Well, I think my listeners would agree with you. I'm not sure anybody else would, but Mitt Romney, thank god he's not running for re election in Utah. I don't think
he could be re elected. But nonetheless, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show this Monday afternoon, and we'll keep the lines of communication open and keep doing what you're doing. So far, you've not been part of the Borg. I had a concern years ago that once you got in and had all this power, that Jady Vance would be assimilated into the Borg. But so far you've kept an independence thought which is quite refreshing. And please don't
change. Thanks Bolly, take care of man, my Senator Jadvance. Let's continue with more and if a line becomes available five one, three, seven, four nine, seven thousand Infiltration on the southern border. Literally tons of fentanel coming across, Incredible human sex trafficking Chinese labs operating tens of thousands of Chinese labs and fifty states. The DEA says this is the worst they've ever seen when it comes to things such as fentanyl and things of that character killing
one hundred thousand Americans a year. And Joe Biden claims he was vice president during the pandemic. What I don't get it. Let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham, The Great American Live. It's Rome of the Reds off today. Thank god. They need to rest a news radio seven hundred WULW. Hey, if you're listening to me right now, I have one thing every business needs most tension. Think about
