Bill Cunningham, the great American first pitch another about seven to ten Dodgers in town with o'conne, and I think the game is close to a selloup. But nonetheless, the Reds have won four games in the month of May, and that's not a good thing heading into a Memorial Day weekend. And of course we coverage begins right here about six o'clock and more. But until then, Leland Vindard of News Nation, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And Leland, there's so many things going on, it's hard to pick what to discuss. But one thing that has happened is that politically, Nicki Haley a couple of days ago came out and said, you know what, given the choices, it appears that I'll be supporting Donald Trump. And the rally in the Bronx was really unbelievable. The rally in New Jersey ten days ago
was unbelievable. And the embarrassment that I feel when President Joe Biden holds an impromptu news conference with the president of Kenya, I kind of watch for something bad to occur. But Leyland Vindt many said during the primary that there's no way that Nicky Haley can reverse course and endorse Donald Trump. He called her a bird brain and a bird cage, should never have hired her as you in, ambassador, and went on and on and on, which is typical
in politics. But kind of what your read on Nicky Haley coming on the Trump train. Does that mean she's the next VP? What do you think? I don't know if it means that, but it means that she wants that possibility. I think you know, there was a Churchill who said anyone can rat that it takes pinash or a certain amount of ingenuity to rerat. So I guess that would be Nicky Haley needing a little bit of panash to
reat. And she's doing it right. I mean, you can imagine a scenario where the Trump camp, who is pragmatic when it comes to their VP picks, at least if we want to look back at twenty sixteen, very pragmatic, They realize that where they're weak is is with moderate Republicans and with Nicky Haley voters for obvious reasons, and her being the vice president would solve
that. And I can't imagine a die hard member of the Trump world saying, well, I'm not going to vote for him now because of Nicky Haley. That seems sort of far fetched. I know people say it on Twitter, but Twitter is in real life. I kind of watched a couple of three nights ago, maybe earlier in the week about you had a segment News Nation Leland vend about the twenty percent. It appears there's fifteen to twenty percent
of Republicans that won't vote for Trump. Then there's fifteen to twenty percent of Democrats that won't vote for Biden. And so I'm looking at that and I'm thinking, well, that's true whenever there's a primary, and it appears there's a chunk of people that don't want either one of them, and the polling indicates about seventy percent or so don't want They want a different choice, whether
it's true they don't want Trump or Biden. And I was shocked about what about a week or ten days ago that they said two debate dates for one June twenty seventh, and one of the pundits said, well, that's like the last gasp of Joe Biden to demonstrate he's mentally competent. When one watched and I'm sure you did the two question News conference. One was from April
Ryan which the President had the two questions ahead of time. You're left waiting for something really bad to happen, and it appears he's having difficulty hearing. It appears he can't process information, and unless something's on a teleprompter or in front of him, he can't read. It's almost a form of elder abuse. What's going on? Am I from the national media perspective? Am I overstating that as far as Biden's mental competence and his abilities to discharge the job.
I'm not going to get into the deciding the mental competency of the president of the United States. I think voters can do that on their own and make their own conclusions based on the available evidence, which you've seen. I don't have any dependent reporting on that. What I can say is that it appears as though Joe Biden's campaign is going to be mostly online and on air. It is not going to be barnstorming the country in the way that Donald
Trump is. So is that something that voters can draw their own conclusion from. Absolutely, that's just sort of the way things happen. We had a segment last night with Corey Lewandowski the former Trump campaign manager. Can Donald Trump manage to not screw this up? I think reasonable people can agree that if the election were held today, Donald Trump would win. So, I mean,
I think it's reasonably you just look at the polling. If you had to make a bag, you know, you had to put one hundred dollars on Trump or Biden today election today, any intellectually honest person would put it on Trump. Five. The question going forward is can Trump not screw it up? And I think we've seen just this week. You know, the Unified Right thing was was was not a nod to the far right. It was somebody who didn't closely look at a video of stock footage. Fine,
forget that. But the whole assassination plot thing over the DOJ's boiler plate language on a search warrant, it's silly for two reasons. One, it appears silly, and I think to the to that twenty percent that you keep talking about it, it just goes back to mean tweets and the disorder that encompassed Donald Trump and the craziness that encompassed Donald Trump. We have a different kind
of craziness in America and disorder under Joe Biden. You don't want to make you don't want to force people to make that choice number one and number two. It distracts. And I don't understand this why the Trump campaign doesn't sit around and talk to the next six months about the economy, the economy, the economy, the economy, the economy, the economy, And that includes the border, that includes the rise in prices, that includes how people feel
about their ability to retire. It encompasses all sorts of things, and they're just not disciplined enough to do it. Now. The lack of discipline is incredible. With the Biden campaign, there's a little bit more discipline, but to run a campaign in twenty twenty four in which the presidential candidate Joe Biden, does not campaign, doesn't hold rallies, he doesn't meet. Now they're
talking. I've read some things online about maybe Chicago and in the middle of August being online, and that is they could pre can the acceptance speech of Joe Biden and cut out all the bad parts and kind of piece it together.
Is it conceivable in this kind of a world that the Democrats may say, it's going to be so ugly in Chicago, there's going to be so many riots going on, and there's such a disorder occurring that and Joe Biden cannot at this point proceed any more mentally alert than he has in the past. That would they take a political hit in Chicago if they made it like a virtual campaign and Joe Biden did not accept in person, what wouldn't that be Wouldn't that shake things up quite a bit? I don't know, maybe
for a week. It's a long way from August to the you know from the conventions that nobody cares about anyway, and that the networks hate to have to cover and give up advertising dollars to do that. They've they've got it then spend you know, this time. Uh So, I don't know. I mean, is it going to be some big uh you know, craziness of nineteen sixty eight? Certainly possible, you know. I think what you pointed out rightly is you focused on the twenty percent and twenty percent. Right.
The twenty percent of people who don't like Donald Trump are are in the middle, they're to the to the center of the Republican Party, right. The twenty percent that don't like Joe Biden are to the far left of the Democratic Party, and that that creates a very different dynamic, and it keeps Joe Biden from moving to the center to attract, for lack of a better term, Nikki Haley voter, to attract swing voters. So they're penned in.
And I think you rightly point out that the sort of civil war within the Democratic Party, the divide within the Democratic Party, is going to be on full display in Chicago. Now, how much the media talks about that and is willing to focus on that and tell that story, that may be a more important question than how much of the disorder and fracture will be on
display. And Leland vettive News Nation. At this point, we don't know what's going to happen in the coming week next week about Tuesday's closing arguments and then the charge of the jury. That's the wild card. And some twenty percent of Independence say that if he's a convicted felon, we're not going to vote for him. It's unbelievable and this thing likely will be reversed on appeal. Watch Abrams quite a bet in others and that this is whether it's two
years or four years. But that's not the point of this thing. And what does your crystal ball tell you about the jury deliberations. One thing that I noticed is that you hardly ever wait a week between the well, you just don't wait a week from the end of the evidence until you start the closing statements and the charge of the jury, because there's no telling what jury
can screw things up. In the week there at home in New York City, I would anticipate because of the Bronx rally and that was so well attended and all the media, and they're told don't deal with the media, but they do. But there's so many unknowns unknowns out there. You can know the known, and you can maybe know the unknown, but you can unknown the unknown. And so right now we're in the world of the unknown. He Bill, I know this is radio. I need a whiteboard to try
to figure out the knowns and unknowns that you've gone through there. I'll answer your question. If I had a crystal ball, I would have bought in a video stock ten years ago. The point of the trial, and I think this is what you're coming down to, is that it is a political exercise, and the politics of it matter a lot more than the law. I have a number of lawyers on TV, and I mean no disrespect to this as you are an attorney, but ask five lawyers you'll get six opinions
and seven bills. Right, So who knows? No one knows what's going to happen, and people can speculate about whether or not it's going to get reversed and everything else. Fine. From a political standpoint, is there a group of Americans who will not vote for him because suddenly they say he falsified business records in a payoff to a woman that he allegedly had an affair with.
Those voters exist. I have not met them now, I don't know, because the more the trial went on, the more I thought of the beginning, Okay, this is going to be a big problem for him. But then the news conference since before and after had been very effective. And the trial itself, it began with a guy named David Pecker Pecker of The Inquirer, and that was slazy as could be. Ended up with Stormy Daniels was awful. Michael Cohen, you couldn't make this cast of characters up.
And I'm thinking, Okay, you got the porn star, you got the cheating lion lawyer who's been in federal prison. You got David Pecker, who got immunity, and this guy doesn't look right anyway, that ran the national inquire. These are the characters against Donald Trump. And then on the Democratic side you got Donald Trump is the focus of this thing, and I think
the trial kind of the political equation. I think the trial on balance at this point has helped Donald Trump. It hasn't hurt him, and it's solidified Republican support for him, has demonstrated by the number of so called officeholders running in out of the courtroom with him, which I've never I guess we're blessed to live an interesting times. One cannot conceive of a trial on the eve of an election with a guy named Pecker and a porn star and a lion
lawyer. And I'm thinking, hell in the hell did we get to this position? And then you put on Robert Costello, who supposedly is an imminent criminal defense attorney, which I think he is in New York City, and his testimony was turned on its head by the prosecution. And so you have Costello saying under oath that basically Michael Cohne had nothing got Michael Cohen calling Costello a liar. You got Michael Venetti coming on various cable shows kind of defending
Donald Trump. He was the lawyer for Stormy Daniels. Then you got Pecker Pecker of the Inquiry. I mean, if somebody wrote this, somebody would say, we can't get that. That's two fix. Can you imagine the characters involved in this, and the average American living in Ames, Iowa's got to be thinking, what the hell's going on around this place? It's unbelievable, Leland. What the only better part would be if it was on TV, like the O. J. Simpson case, we could see it ourselves
what's going on? But I think at this point Washingway now, I wish I could see it well right, And I think it's very good for the prosecution and very bad for Donald Trump that nobody did see it. You started the segment talking about the Cincinnati Reds. Okay, I'm from Saint Louis. You guys have only run four games. It's in May. I it's kind of probably, you know, it's sort of what you guys in Cincinnati are used to. I digress. This is what I would challenge anybody go go
print out pictures of Michael Cohen, Robert Costello and David Pecker. Okay, don't pick out it pronoun any pictures of Stormy Daniels, but go print out the picture of the three guys, take them down to whatever you all call your stadium these days, and ask people who any of these guys are. Nobody knows, nobody cares, nobody's following it. You've got a long summer,
and I think you're right. The worst thing that happened for Donald Trump is that it wasn't on TV. Yeah, if it was on TV, it would have been devastating for Donald Trump because the pictures of him sitting in the courtroom for hours after hours. Oh, I disagree. I think it would have been the best thing forever that could have happened to Donald Trump because I think people would have heard the testimony, they would have seen how sleevy
Michael Cohen is. It would have totally changed the dynamics of everything. And the thing about Trump, though, being in a courtroom like that is a bad thing, but putting it live in New York State, they can do
that, but they generally don't. But they can. And because I've called this trial Leland Venter the most important trial in the history of United States of America, because what comes out of this thing could be the election or not of the next president with complete executive powers, and it's such an important matter. If it was on TV, it would, my god, it would
have an eighty share for a whole bunch of the time. And I think I agree with you in a sense that watching these characters testify would have been a negative thing. Look at the OJ Simpson case, which is the last that went on for weeks of a noted person on trial, and at the end of the day, no one thought O. J. Simpson was going to be convicted, even though he did murder those two people. But Johnny Cochrane was unbelievable, and Lance Edo and and Edo and that kind of stuff
was again a charade. But I guess no one could have conjured up the trial itself and the characters involved. And whether it's going to help or hurt, I think on balance it has helped. Well, let's see what happens down the road. It appears. Does your crystal ball tell you there's no more trials, There's nothing else happening in the federal cases or Atlanta, So this is it. My crystal ball doesn't tell me that my reporting does.
Because the Supreme Court decision just just the way the time, just the way the timing works out, it seems very very unlikely you're going to get a trial another trial between now and the election, if you if you listen to the Supreme Court on the immunity case, the Georgia case is a complete mess. The document's case is also a masson seems to be delayed as well. So lookd that was Donald Trump's legal team's plan, and it seems to be
working. It's worked because at this point the only case going to trial are ones involving Pecker or porn star Lion Lawyer. Those are the cases. And Donald Trump spinds it when he comes out a certain way, and people generally taking it. And I can't imagine, I can't imagine conjuring up a more odd circumstance to decide a national election than a dirty court room in New York City, and by Judge Marshawn, who has been thoroughly I think, discredited
in many circles because of his rulings. I know that Alan Dershowitz and others have gone after him real hard, but Leland Vendor continue to have a great Memorial Day weekend, and we'll see what happens down the road. But this coming week, after the Trump rally and the Bronx, the one in New Jersey going to have a verdict. I guess in about a week or I predict a verdict at the end of the I say Friday or Saturday, there'll
be a verdict. And now the hell's going to break loose. And if he's found not guilty by that New York jury, which ought to be the proper verdict, to use the term m Corey Lewandowski, to just don't screw it up, to just go ahead, keep keep campaigning and don't screw it up. Leland Vetter, thank you very much for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Leland, thank you all the back. Let's continue
with more and if a ligne becomes available, you know the routine. But let's face it, Uh, there was every expectation by the media this would be broadcast live, and UH that changes a trial fundamentally. And to watch the behavior at judge Mrshawn live would have been something that would have been interesting and illustrative because he's a hacked judge in New York City. Let's continue with
more. Bill Cunningham, the Great American with you every day at your home of the Reds News Radio seven hundred WULW trist Ate Chevrolet Buyers, it's a buyer's but Nanza at Mike cast Ce Chevrolet and Milford find new roads today. Check out our outstanding selection at Mike Billy cunning into Great America. Happy Memorial Day weekend. Let's not forget the purpose of the weekend. Coming up later
we have Eric brew Ark of Numbers USA dot com. Plus later on Brendan Cole, who's running the Taste of Cincinnati, will be here sometime about two o'clock to talk about how come the road closures were so profound so early. What's the plan Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Reds Baseball with the Dodgers in town. I've been told that most of the games are sold out, but some tickets remain. Gonna be great, gonna be good. One thing not
to forget about is the reason we're celebrating, celebrating Memorial Day. And I would point out that on Memorial Day itself, that Gate of Heaven Cemetery is having their annual event. It's called the Valor Group US Military veterans, families
and friends and veterans. There's seven thousand, seven thousand veterans interred at Ganda Heaven Cemetery and once again Aulta Fiber is donating and posting with respect and honor seven thousand flags all over k to Heaven Cemetery and they should be up sometime later on Saturday. But nonetheless, the event itself begins about ten thirty am on Memorial Day itself on Monday, ten thirty am until about one thirty pm.
It's going to be very well attended. But that's the reason we have Memorial Day is because, let's face it, there's about one million, two hundred thousand Americans have given their lives so you and I can enjoy the freedoms we often abuse. I ran some of the numbers which are really incredible numbers. Number one, in the Civil War, about six hundred thousand were killed in the Civil War, and the World War Two it was four hundred thousand.
We're up to about a million, one hundred and fifty thousand. In World War One, had about thirty two thousand in Korea, had about fifty eight thousand plus in Vietnam. Take the other various wars. The America has been involved in the Mexican American War, of course, a Persian Gulf War one, and two various other skirmishes throughout the last two hundred and thirty five years. And the numbers about one point two million have given their life and
right now about one point two million are presently serving. And it's very difficult, making it difficult to serve because of politics. But nonetheless I have great respect for American soldiers, national guardsmen and others who back up what's happening to keep our country as safe and sane as it possibly can. But if you want to be involved in big events, check out gate of Heaven Cemetery. And the removal process of the flags won't begin until Sunday, June the second,
but they're being placed today in tomorrow with very ceremonies. Seven thousand dead soldiers, sailors and marines and airmen at Heaven Cemetery. There's a big event happening ten thirty am on Monday, and everyone's welcome to a tend and many other parades are happening all over the Dry State the nation, and it's a wonderful thing. And so I pray we might recall that a founding father came out of the Constitutional Convention and said, we have a democracy if we can
keep it. And right now I've had more than one. In fact, I've had many great Americans tell me we're at risk of losing things, because, as Ronald Reagan said, we're only one generation away from losing the Home of the Free and the land of the brave, and many things think we're well on that course right now because of runaway ramp and spending everywhere and trashing the dollar, and secondly the influx the open border. The numbers are off
the charts. We're going to go over the numbers in about fifteen minutes with Eric Ruark. But there's about fifty one million persons living right now in the United States that we're not born here. Fifty one million. That's an all time number. When you look at the chart they put together, it starts at about four point seven million in nineteen seventy. Now it's over fifty million, and it's skyrocketing. It's not stopped, it's going it's not going down,
it's going up. In fact, it's accelerating. And we can't have a country without a border and know who's here. We have various US military installations and bases subjected to terrorist surveillance, as what happened in Virginia. It's happening all over the country, and we can stop it. Don't have the will. The first thing to do is stop it at the southern border. In other words, put your finger in the hole in the dike. Worry
about draining the swamp later. But every day, there's literally hundreds of thousands every day that come in. And I have a great stat about a million so called quote foreigners overstated their visas every year. That is, if a person applies from some other country to come here in order to go to college or maybe go to high school as a tour. It's not going down, it's going up. In fact, it's accelerating. And we can't have a
country without a border and know who's here. We have various US military installations and bases subjected to terrorist surveillance, as what happened in Virginia. It's happening all over the country, and we can stop it. Don't have the will. The first thing to do is stop it at the southern border. In other words, put your finger in the hole in the dike. Worry about draining the swamp later. But every day there's literally hundreds of thousands every day
that come in. And I have a great stat about a million so called quote foreigners overstay their visas every year. That is, if a person applies from some other country to come here in order to go to college or maybe go to high school, as a tourist for business reasons, who didn't want to see the Grand Canyon, who didn't want to see the Ohio River, you apply, get a visa, you come here and don't go back, and you're still here. No one seeks about a million a year that do
that. On top of that, we admit about a million a year legally, more than all the other countries in the world put together. And in the first first three and a half years of the Bide administration, we've had ten million come into the country illegally, plus two and a half million got aways. It's like, well, what's happening. And the fact is we can lose this place. We don't. The fact things were great four or
five six years ago doesn't mean we can maintain that. And so the forces that want to destroy the country and maybe make the cities and counties destabilized are still at work and they aren't going to change. There's a destabilization process underway as I speak, to destabilize our democracy, destabilize our constitutional republic, to make it almost you don't want to vote anymore because things are completely out of
control and they're not getting anyway. They're not getting better. And as a cont sequence, this Memorial Day is particularly fitting inappropriate to go back to the origins of the country. Mainly, great things happen, a few mistakes were made because human beings put it together. But gosh, no country tries harder to get things right than to go to the United States of America. And so I kind of look at Harrison, butker he's the field goal kicker for
the Chiefs. Don't care much for the guy because he's helping you defeat the Bengals on a regular basis. When he gave his speech of Benedicting College in Kansas, a place, by the way, I've never heard of, have you? And what you're talking about traditional Catholic American values of a woman having
the option to stay at home. I often say to individuals, at the end of your life, if the Good Lord gives you an opportunity to be with friends and family at the moment of your death, and you spend time reflecting upon events that you've done, the alcolades you've received, the people whose lives you positively affected, the ups and downs getting your degree, the jobs that you've had, the problems, the car break ins and other the good
stuff and the bad. Hardly anyone I know is going to say anything other than I wish I'd spent more time privately with friends and family. That's what I wish I would have done. And all Harrison Butker are saying that women, because women have babies. Here's a bulletin. Men do not have babies. People do not have babies. Women have babies, and the option is staying at home and raising those children, hopefully properly, should be available to
a woman. And so many, especially feminists in the media, have gone after him hard and with hooks and claws. One of them women named Michelle Beadle, who ESPN quote, we just worked our asses off for years, and you're telling me stay home, honey and have babies. Not really, why don't you go? And she used the F bomb, go f yourself, Butker quote, that's my freedom. I don't want to do that. She went on to say that she's worked hard and at the end of the
day she'll decide she'll be the master of her own fate. Well, guess what that's all, Harrison, Butker is saying, give a woman clearly a good option if that's what she desires and the family desires to stay at home with the children and raise the children properly. And or if you find yourself in a circumstance where you can't send your kid to the public schools, get the hell out of public schools. In good states like Ohio, will give you a voucher to go to a private school. But she says, shut
the f up, go f the ball. I don't know what to say the attacks on this guy first saying something rather interesting and rather placid and flaccid. Women should have the opportunity, without condemnation of other women to stay at home and have children. That's okay, not a bad thing. At the end of your days, you may look back and say, I wish I spent more time with my husband, my wife, my kids, my grandkids, my sisters. I don't want to leave this world with grudges and people
mad at me. I apologize to individuals I've heard. That's what happens. If someone has the time to recollect their history, they never think about I wish I would have gotten one more college degree. I wish I would have made more money. I wish I would have bought a late model car. I wish I'd taken a vacation to Europe. No, you're going to regret time not spent with your family. That's O. Harrison Butker is saying. And that's the reason that Donald Trump's going to be elected. We can't take
it anymore. Let's continue. After one o'clock today will be Eric Ruard of NumbersUSA dot com. After two o'clock we scheduled Brendan Cole Cull Brendan Cole, chief of staff of Charlie Luken during the glory days of Cincinnati, to be here about the taste all on news radio seven hundred WULW.

Serving our Christian community since nineteen forty eight gate of having Catholic Cemetery host an annual Memorial Day gathering. Bill Cunningham, the great American, of course, first of all, that you and yours of
a glorious and wonderful Memorial Day weekend and the mainstream media. This morning, one of the talk shows talked about how the Senate Republicans refused to accept yes for an answer that as they had a comprehensive border security bill that once again on Thursday, that they said no to by a wide margin, including some Democrats. By the way, and all I hear about is the Republicans walking away from the deal of a lifetime by having an immigration control on the southern
border. Democrats want to do something, Republicans do not want to do something. What is the reality. Of course, Eric drew Arc has been with Numbers USA for a long time and is the leading immigration website in the country. If you go to Numbers USA, you'll see lots of information about what's occurring. First of all, Eric, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And can you tell the American people the two or three worst parts of
the so called bipartisan immigration bill that most Republicans said no to. Well, there's a lot of bad parts to this bill, but I think the worst is it sets a floor for illegal immigration. At the present time. The law is that zero people should be coming over. Obviously that's not the case, but that is what's in the law. And if the law were enforced, Board Patrol and DHS will be doing everything they can to prevent it and
to prevent people from remaining in the country illegally. So what this bill does, and you're right to talk of it's a bipartisan deal, but even there is one Republican, Susan Collins, who voted for it. Even a Senator in Langford who helped draft the bill last time and promoted it didn't even vote
for it this time. But what this bill would do is if five thousand illegal border crossers came every day for a week, average five thousand over the seven day period, this bill requires DHS Secretary to declare emergency at the border. What it would require after that, it's absolutely nothing. It wouldn't have to take any action to prevent more people from coming, but he would just have to say there's an emergency going on and that's it. Now. Obviously
DHS Secretary could do more, He can do more now. President Bien doesn't need any authorit more authorit to secure the border. He's choosing not to. So what this bill ultimately does is codified the Biden open border policies. But even if the DHS Secretary whoever that may be, declared the emergency and did try to stop illegal immigration, he was required under this bill to admit fourteen hundred innimissible aliens a day, even when emergency was declared and give them work
permits. So what the Senate bill would do is again set of four. We have to at least admit fourteen hundred a day, and we have to give them work permits, which is in violation of what the law says right now. So five thousand a day, my simple deer Park Matt tells me that's about two million or one point eight million a year. And also work
permits are given out right now. It's illegal for this to occur, and the Senate bill would quote the Senate Bill requires the processing of at least five hundred thousand and up to one point eight million illegal encounters per year in the US. It gives instant work permits to asylum seekers. It fails to end the abuse in humanitarian parole. It fails to address loopholes associated it with unaccompanied children. There's about seventy thousand children right now that are missing in the system
when that was under Trump. The media want nuts. Because it's under Biden, no one brings it up, including child smuggling and trafficking and fentanyl. Right now, it's illegal for someone to come into the country. So this Senate bill would have and it would have been signed by Biden and Heartbeat would have brought in one point eight to two million illegals legally give work permits across the board and disperse all over the country. Now you also have a posting
about NGOs non government organizations. Can you explain because I watched this morning ladders up fences in New Mexico. I've watched sixty thousand military age Chinese males come across the southern border in San Diego. How do those individuals get all over the country? I watched the story out of Minnesota, and which is a
small community of eight thousand people. There's been fourteen one hundred placements and a small town in Minnesota of eight thousand people and they bring in fourteen hundred illegals into the country to live in Minnesota, and so it is unbelievable. What is the role of the so called NGOs. Well, you're right, there's lots of people who are coming in. We talked, I believe last time about how some people are flying directly into the United States through programs set up
by the Biden administration. But also people who come over the border illegally are in many cases being housed temporarily by NGOs. And you know, those are non governmental organizations. So the Biden administration says, well, these aren't government operations, these are private charities. But they're receiving a lot of money, taxpayer money. And so in effect, we are funding these NGOs and helping
them to facilitate illegal immigration. And so after their house they figure out where they want to go, they can buy them plane tickets, or they can put them on the bus. And you pointed to Minnesota. I just saw a story today Boise, Idaho, where they were someone was filming three busloads of people, migrants, you know, inimiscible aliens who were bused to Boise. And this is happening all over the country, and our taxpayers are taxpayer
dollars are going to NGO entities to fund this. HR two. The House Border Secure the Border Act would have prevented that from happening. That's another thing the Senate bill wouldn't have done. You mentioned the litany of things, not stopping unaccompanied miners, not tracking where they are, not raising credible fear, not stopping asylum abuse and fraud. The Senate bill also would continue to fund these NGOs. And there's not anything that the Biden administration is doing currently that
the Senate bill would have prevented from uh continuing to take place. Yeah, but I'm just going to say, including sending all our money to these NGOs who are aiding and a betting you even I don't know how a small town of eight thousand people could put up with a couple a couple thousands just showing up there who don't speak of the English and don't have medical care, and the kids can't go to school. You can't take a twelve year old from
Peru and put them in like the sixth grade. It doesn't work. Your numbers USA dot com. In the year twenty twenty three, the physical twenty twenty three, one point four million migrants were released into the interior of the country. Eight hundred and fifty thousand visitors overstayed their visas and remained in the country illegally. And these are individuals who come into the country illegally, maybe to say I'm going to school, or I want to look at the Grand
Canyon. I want to be a visitor. What I want to do is go on vacation. In one year, eight hundred and fifty thousand overstayed their visa. No one's looking for them. Six hundred and seventy thousand aliens are reported to have entered the country illegally without apprehension and blended under the underground workforce. Plus one million individuals obtained lawful permanent residence which are green cards. You add up these numbers imagined going forward ten to twenty more years with the same
policies. If we don't change course, what happens to the country. And you mentioned the visa overstays, which is something that's not getting a lot of atens attention. We talked about this for a long time, but because you know, it's so overwhelming what's happening at the border. So you know, the things that we've been talking about for a long time or sort of you know, we're still talking about, but they're not getting much attention. But
I don't know if you saw the story recently where two Jordanian nationals. One came off student visa YEP, never went to school. The other one came across the border illegally, was released in the United States, tried to drive a box truck in the Quantico Military base. And this is another example of where our government is not giving its information. DHS and FBI are not releasing the details of who these people are, why they're in the country, what
they were trying to do. But we do know that they were trying to force their way into the military base. And you know, these sorts of things are going to become commonplace because there's so many people coming over and there's so many people we have no idea who they are or what their intentions are once they're here. Is this the way it always was? Here we are in Memorial Day weekend twenty twenty four. Is this the way it was like
five years ago? Six years ago? It was not. And even when we look back at the Obama administration may at the time we were very critical, but the President Obama and his gay H Secretary j Johnson did take steps and you can argue that well they did so because of the political blowback, but they still responded to public opposition to the policies to Biden administration. Not only is it responding, they're saying it's not happening, and if it is
happening, it's Donald Trump's fault. And people know that that's not the case. You know, whether you like Donald Trump or not. I think we talked about this before. No one is buying into the President Biden or Trucks humor story that they're tougher on illegal immigration than the Biden or an excuse me, than the Trump administration. You have a chart here about foreign born persons living in America. In nineteen seventy, there was about nine million foreign born
persons living in the country. Now it's fifty two million. Fifty two million, that's a look at this chart. He goes one direction straight up. That's an all time high. And that's something we've repeated a lot during the Biden administration is these are unprecedented times when it comes to immigration, and we
had a pause. You know, we had a great wave of immigration, as it's known, and we had a time a period a very low immigration where we had the growth of them in a class, civil rights movement, economic opportunities for black Americans, and you know, arguably we made, you know, forge the American idea. This pace in the scale of immigration right now is not allowing for any of those. In fact, we're seeing a
reversal. Middle class people, taxpayers are being forced you know, losing money by having to support these things, but also losing jobs and opportunities, and working class Americans are having a hard time finding jobs that will allow them good paying jobs, dignity and you know, entry into law term entry into the workers, which is necessary for all of us to have a We can't have
a functioning nation if we have an economy that's dependent upon illegal labor. I've heard the debates about whether if Trump is re elected, which I considered to be almost impossible to comprehend. The media and the Democratic Party, they're not done with him yet. I don't know if they're going to let him win. But if he does win and he's sworn in and he says we have to deport twenty to thirty million illegals in this country, federal judges, the
media all would go absolutely bonkers. Is conceivable that if Trump's put back an office to actually deport twenty million people, How would that work? How would that look Eisenhower did it in the nineteen fifties, much lower numbers. I think most Americans support that. About seventy percent of Republicans say yes and about forty percent Democrats say yes. Is it realistic? Right? Well, I don't. And that's the way it's being presented as mass deportations, as somehow
Trump's going to have a police force. You know, federal police force is going to go out and identify and round people up and remove them from the country. Well, one of the things you do is you have the terrence and enforcement, and so you have to stop the flow number one. But you know, if you don't allow work opportunities, and even in a Biden
administration, if people aren't getting work authorization, there's no workplace enforcement. So you don't have to have authorization to get a job of the United States, unscrupless employers if they hire you. The federal government isn't going to prevent that. If you cut off benefits, if you stop using taxpayer money to shut
upeople around the country to their destination. Choice, are the people coming over the border respond to the inspects that we are sending, right, And if President Trump stopped sending those incentives and you're right about how the courts is going to get tied up in the court. That's going to be a tough fight. But if we have the political will, and as you mentioned, democratic
voters support removing people here illegally. Again, if we're not enforcing our laws and we're not making people who shouldn't be here returned to their own countries, then we can't say that we have an immigration system what we have or open borders. They facto open borders, no matter how the other side wants to say not everyone's getting in. Everyone that does get in, whether they have permission to or not, is going to remain in this country, even if
they commit crimes. We've seen illegal alliens. So once I just mentioned the Jordanian ashes, where are they and are they going to be removed from this country? Our government will not give us an affirmative answer to them now. And we have hundreds of thousands of those who wish us ill from dozens of countries, and it's so easy to come into this country to prepare to commit
terrorism or crime. There's migrant crimes. I watch ABC News the other night did a story on those from Peru, and another group was from Columbia, it's burglary tourism, and it's those who break into cars brought into the country illegally. They have to break into so many cars or homes in order to justify their existence and massive lawlessness. And I hear constantly, and I'm glad
you're here to answer this question. I have it on many guests who say blue cities, blue states do not ask immigration status, so when someone's arrested, we don't know if they hear illegally. But on the other hand, I constantly hear that the crime rate of illegals is lower than native born Americans. Both cannot be true. We do hear that a lot, and in this case, there's not information available. The information that is available, Well,
here's the trick that you have side does to make this argument. They don't count most of the crimes the people here illegally commit, including crossing the border illegally, So they're very selective in the crimes that they tabulate. But they're also ignoring the fact that a lot of these places, even if they're not saying tu where jurisdictions don't have that data readily available or they're not providing that data. But we do know yes, of course, when you're letting
everyone in. People who want to work at the local fast food franchise or the person who's in a criminal gang from Venezuela are both in the country right and many have the best of intentions to come here. Many do not. But you can't say the crime rate is low for illegals when you don't inquire as to immigration status when they're arrested. Have no idea, much like saying, well, the crime rate is down, but police aren't arresting people.
Judges aren't convicting people, and cops are demoralized and they don't want to arrest anyone because they know they're going to be released before the paperwork has completed. I've had many comps tell me that they don't want to arrest anybody. It's not worth it. And we also see particularly in San Francisco would be the perfect example. In California the state as a whole, they're not arresting people
for certain crimes. But also if you are an immigrant, if you're farm born and you're arrested, they're going to let you pleed down spelling in to a misdemeanor, or they're going to let you go and we see this specifically with Honda and drug dealers in San Francisco. The DA said said that publicly, we're not going to arrest them because that might get them removed from the country, and so they're allowed to deal drugs with impunity. And I'm mad.
You know, if you're not arresting people, then you're not charging them with crimes. Right, the crime rates down and the legal aliens don't commit crime. You know that. Of course, we don't arrest anybody, and we don't ask immigration status. But the talking point is there for those easily misled. The website is NumbersUSA dot com and it's a wonderful resource and I get de pressed when I read it. But we have to think there's a better day that lies ahead, and you can't have the same results. But
what we have to do is change leadership. We can't keep doing the same thing anticipating differing results. And at least the Trumpster would put his finger in the in the league and say we got to stop this, quit incentivizing it. I don't know if he can deport twenty million, but five or ten would be a good start. And if you commit crime in this country, it should be automatic, but Eric Rwer continued to have a great Memorial Day
weekend, and thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you Eric. Always great to be with you. Bill, God bless you. Let's continue with more. Crime rate is down. Of course crime is up, but cops on arresting individuals and not inquiring, so we don't know. But I know the crime rate is down and illegals are very peaceful. Let's continue with more.

There's a picture of me in the nineteen fifties with his dad, who was running for a position in Deer Park and I'm sitting, I'm kneeling at the age of seven or eight of a Luken signed Lucan for solicitor, and Charlie's still soliciting things, but not the law. But that's a different issue. Let's talk about a couple of days ago to Tom
didn't vince words, No, he didn't. You caught some flak by the media types about you shut down the city of Cincinnati like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and it won't open un till Octoberfest. Can you explain why you shut down things so early. We don't shut things down. We've got taste of Cincinnati this week and Memorial Day. We've been doing this for forty seven years. This is the forty fifth taste of
Cincinnati. It's going to be absolutely incredible. We got half a million people coming down here. Question. It's a great Cincinnati tradition. We shut down the streets because of safety. We want to make sure we do the load in these days. We've got to build tents. We added a bunch of new seating for everybody. We've got sixty five vendors, twenty five beer booths, a bunch of sponsors. We've got four stages that we build and a bunch of seating areas, which is what people tell us they want. They
want to be able to sit down. It tastes of Cincinnati and relax and get some shade and have a beer or eight beers and food and cheesecake and taste of Belgium which we brought here today, and stumble home and stumble home. It's going to be a great be safe everybody. Should You didn't answer my question, I would assume the taste. Last year we shut down. We did shut down earlier. It's a bigger footprint this year. We've added a bunch of space. We've added a bunch of stages and a bunch of
extra space. And I'll tell you when in the past we were doing this at four o'clock in the morning. It got dangerous. We were doing it with the streets open, and so we worked with the city, had a plan to close down the streets. It just so happened Wednesday morning. Rained the heavens open up, the lightning, the thunder, it starts pouring down, of course, and of course it's the first time the streets are closing. People. I'm not I'm not going to suggest that people don't read all
of their emails from their building managers. I did not. I don't want to accuse anybody of not reading building manager emails. But sometimes that happens. Our right newsroom what nuts because they said it was a communication problem and I you and I spoke. We'll do tell me about the lack of communication or something. Oh, well, you know what, we'll do more next year. I actually had a great idea. We're going to use those O dot signs to remind people next year. On the highways. I had one person
accused us of a conspiracy. They love it. I love the conspiracy. I love shut down the roads so that you could remind people the tastes of Cincinnati was happening. We're not that smart, but it's going to be a great weekend and people, you know what, this is the unofficial beginning of summer, and so uh. I apologize anybody for any inconvenience over the last couple of days downtown. But that's one of the beauties about our downtown is
it's a place where we have stuff like this happen. You never know what you're going to run into. We've got concerts, we've got professional sports, we've got festival, and you're in charge of now blink. I'm not in charge of it all, but I Octoberfest. Octoberfest coming up. Now, we did move Octoberfest. People are gonna be happy about that. We're really
excited. That's going to be down at Sawyer Point this year. A beautiful, lush Octoberfest on the river under the bridges Friday Saturday Sunday, right Thursday, Friday, Thursday, Saturday Sunday. It's going to be spectacular. Now, getting back to this issue, I've said before that even when city council fails and the mayors are not what they should be, not the good old days of Lucan and Mallory and Cranley, we now have PG purrivoal is in
charge. No matter how bad they screw up, there are things happening in our town better and different than other cities of similar size. We have the sports teams, which is an anchor. We have the taste that you control Octoberfest. We have Steve Laper three c DC I don't know fifty to buildings they've remodeled and take care of. We have a Schmael Park which was picked as the best park ever. Pay Corps moving couarters downtown sacks fifth they're going
to move down there. We have pickle ball is now a big deal, and you can go on the You're not much of a pickle ball guy. But nonetheless, no matter how screwed up the politicians are, we just had the mayor on talking about the city financially got to make some serious cuts next year because all the free money is gone. But in spite of that, because of the John Barretts, and because of the Fifth Third Banks and that Joseph Chevrolet in that group, they got it. They're holding down the city
of Cincinnati. Do you have a concern as a young man down the road if Cincinnati becomes Portland or Chicago that we lose political leadership is so bad that the fathers and mothers of our town move out? Could you ever move out? Have no concern about that at all on Cincinnati. Tell me what the reason is is the for instance, this mayor, the Hamilton County Commission right now, they they are positioning themselves as doing business with business leaders and they
they open up the doors and they partner. Take a look at Mayor Pureval, what he's done on this convention center. He gets elected into office and a group of people going to him says, Mayor, we've got to redo the convention Center. And what's he say, Tell me how to do it, Let me work with you. And he has been with us the entire step of the way, so that Steve Lieber could redo the convention Center, build an eight hundred room headquarter hotel right across the street, which we had
to We had to get rid of the Millennium Hotel. And I think it's going to be a huge success pay Corps, huge success Business City Partnership, and I think I think, I do believe that we're going to have good things ahead. When it comes to the stadiums downtown. You got the County Commission really trying to work with the Bengals and the Reds. Make sure that I talk to Laser Race recently. She's got Bengals put up one hundred twenty
five million, five million dollars. That's terrific, and they're investing in that stadium for the long term. Because you know, look that the Browns and the Blackburns, they love Cincinnati, they care a lot about Cincinnati. They
want this place to do well. And I think they're thinking about the fan experience down there on the river in a positive and the fact they're putting up the money now in a case to me, they're going to exercise five year option next summer they get it kicking on to twenty thirty and then another five
years after that. Bengals belong to Cincinnati forever. And look, I mean Central, Look at Central Parkway. This is another thing the city's doing really well right now, partnering with fc Cincinnati to make sure that we redo. The federal government came in with some money. We're going to redo Central Parkway. Right in front of the TQL Stadium. You've got a huge development going
out there. People want to live in the city. There's four hundred and fifty apartments being built right now within a block of where I work on four Street Downtown. That's people who care about the city. They believe, they're bullish on the future of the city. And you could say, oh, we got the politics this, we don't like this part. I don't like that partext by the way, I don't like it. I will say there's a there is a people are working together right now, and that's what I
think. You know, the general public should want. You should want people working together. You shouldn't want, you know, a pitched battle all the time. And we'll fight over things for sure. But I think you're seeing a time right now where we're able to get some big things. Brendon call, this is what I've noticed in Columbus. There's no Democrats. You can't find one with a search warrant. What the Republicans fight Republicans in gott You
can't find him anywhere. Yeah, you can't get Joe Biden on the ballot. Now that the Republicans in the House ought to say. Look, we complained about the Democrats who are anti democratic, stuffing the ballot boxes, no verify on signatures, and letting illegals vote. We can't be the party that keeps Biden, even Biden off the ballot. You got to say that we did it. They did it for Trump last time too. I think you're I think governor, I think the governor. But it's the governor. He
was just down here and walked around Finley Market with him. He's a good man, he put. I talked to Mike. He said, well, I can't order the legislature to pass. The legislation he's calling a special sessions. They get back here, get back here, and they're going to say no. Do you think, yeah, that's what he thinks. Now if they say no, here we go to federal court. And I'm thinking,
now, come on. Even though I don't care much for Joe Biden, as you may know, I think his policy suck and they're terrible, he belongs on the ballot. He used to have the choice. You got to get people that, you got to give them a choice. Obviously, he's the nominee, a nominee, and the same thing would be true if it were she would or on the other front. They've done it before for Republicans to change the date by moving forward two weeks and you kind of know the
name anyway, unless something dramatic happens. Have you thought about running Cincinnati public schools? That they're in a complete disaster, Three supers in four years, The school board is fighting with each other, Terrible test results, take away Walnut in the montassories. The kids aren't learning a damn thing. And I'm thinking we need somebody, maybe like Steve Leeper, to take control of the public school. I don't know what you'd have to get steve to do to
run the public school system. But it'd be interesting. You're going to need a new superintendent. I know they got an interm in there. There's bright spots since our public schools, as there's always been. With Walleing Hills High School obviously continues to do really well. I live in Clifton, as you know some people, and they've they've started a new elementary school. They're just graduated their first class all the way through there. It's it's it's really cool
what they've done. There's bright spots. But but you're right, I think CPS that the board has got to align and agree on a strategy and then stick with it, for they won't. Kevin Aldridge, another liberal that runs the editorial page of the inquir Aldridge says there must be changes and the school board you got to resign. Ben Lindy should get control and whoever is responsible
for this debacle should have to pay for this. I'll tell you, I think people do need to pay attention to since a public schools, it is, it's hugely important. It's important to got to have got good workforce programs. We've got to make sure that the high schools are performing so that kids who graduate can go get jobs, or can go to college or go into the military. But we've got to have a strategy and stick to it for a while because we don't want to be failing the kids. Let's go back
to the taste. We have the Dodgers in town. It's gonna be tonight, yep, Saturday, Sunday, then the Cardinals come and by then it'll be over. How many people are we talking, give me the tell of the tape. Vendors attendance went and open. It's eleven to eleven Saturday and Sunday, eleven to eight on Monday, eighty five vendors. We've got food
trucks, brick and mortar restaurants, food truck Alley Finley Market. If you haven't been down to Finley Market in a while, they're getting ready to do a big, big campaign to make sure that the market house stays well. It's beautiful, it's amazing, it's it's one of the best. I love that, one of the best places in the entire region. You go down to Finley Market, you see people, you know, you eat great food.
They have a twenty business on Broadway as part of Taste of Cincinnati, so they'll have a lot of their up and coming food vendors down there. That's why we do this.

He's got a business on Court Street, which three CDC has just renovated. It's going terrific for him. He's going to
be a taste of Cincinnati. We got a lot of folks like that. How many tons of beer? How many half a million people have huge stages. The Menus are playing on Sunday night, Cincinnati's favorite band, The Menus. Do you have a weather plan because a call to Steve Rawleigh Sunday evening might be rough, high winds. I mean, we tornadoes, a little bit of rain at some point. There's not gonna be any earthquakes. There's not gonna be tornadoes. Uh, it might rain a little bit. That
happen. We've got a good plan. I think tomorrow looks perfect. Tomorrow is gonna be a great day to drink beer all day long on Fifth Street in downtown Cincinnati. There's plenty of parking. It's really easy to get around. Sunday we might have a little bit of a rain, but if you come down early, I think you'll have a great time. Monday, same thing goes. It's gonna be a great day.

you can do eight thousand calories. Well, it's gonna be terrific. Joey Chess next to a way. I'll bring him in. But as far as the amount of money, it used to be two and three dollars for an item. What is it now? I had matt Ree's complaining, better take a hundred bucks with you if you want to drink beer and eat a lot. A little expensive inflation, the bid inflation. Here's what's important is the
folks who are running these restaurants. They've been through so much lately. And if you're a restaurant tour in Cincinnati, you put your heart and soul into this place. No, and I love these men and women who hang out a menu in front of their place and try to make it go. And I'm telling you the food they buy from the suppliers is expensive. It costs to pay people a fair wage, make sure that they come to work every day. It's an expensive industry. And so you know what coming down to
tastoa Cincinnati supporting small business and entrepreneurs. You might pay six bucks for a burger or seven bucks for a giant pile of mac and cheese, but you're gonna have a great time. You're gonna hear great music. I told people today talk to the people behind the booth because you're gonna meet the restaurant words. You're going to meet the owners. These are Cincinnati's best. And to my view, we are working so hard and so we do this because we
want to support them. We want to support this beautiful, diverse culinary culture that we have. Brendon Call of the Taste. When will things be opened up again?
