I believe cunning had the Great American display. It's Wednesday afternoon of the tri States. I'm so excited now about red Spaceball, can't stand it tends the city once again. Paul's beneath the mighty crue to your Reds. More action tonight, first pitch about eight ten. Coverage starts about six ten. Then it's on a Houston Maybe a preview of the World Series. The Reds and the Astros. Tee it up, believe it or not on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. We'll see what happens. But preview of the World Series Reds versus Astros. It's possible two and a half games out of first place. By the way, last year, the Reds to not win the thirty third game until July the tenth, So it's taken the Reds about two months earlier to win number thirty three on their way to the World Series. End beyond. But so much is happening relatively Donald Trump. It's all Trump, all the time. It's all we talk about. All I can talk about.
Every night, I overdose on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, Bright Part Newsmax. Every morning I get up watch the network shows, go nuts. I'm completely consumed by the Trumpster. Now politically, there are those who are saying the Republican Party's in serious difficulty. A man that knows is the chair of the Ohio Republican Party, elected by acclamation a few months ago, Alex Trunch. If you Lou formerly of Hamlet County, now Columbus next up as
the National Republican Party. He will control all by the end of next year. Alex t Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Alex, how do you like your new gigging Columbus. I heard report you're drinking Martini's, smoking fancy Cuban cigars, rolling around in a limousine and more. Can you tell me what it's like to run the party in the state of Ohio? How Billy, it's good to be with you. Running the party in the city of Ohio is a high honor and privilege. And I'm rolling around the
state in my twenty eighteen Ford Explorer, not a limousine. But we're having a good time. Obviously very entered. Gize about what's happening in Washington here across the state. But Billy, you know I've known you a long time. I've been on these airways talking about what's happening in Hamlin County. I've just taken that same vigor I hope that I brought to the job there to the job here in Ohio, and I'm having a good time fighting for conservative
values across this great state. You're a friend in mine. J d Vance raised in Butler County, now lives in Hamilton County. Is holding up all the nominations for the Department of Justice. You also have Tommy Tubberville everything he relates to Cincinnati, the former UC coach, holding up a two hundred and
fifty two hundred and fifty promotions for the military. What's your view of Senator jd Vance saying this indictment of the Trumpsters unjust and he's gonna hold up all other nominations to the dj until this matter is resolved, which maybe years and decades away. Well, you know, I support Senator Vance, of course,
he's been a great senator here from Ohio. But you know what's happened, Bill, It's most concerning to me right now is that all this chatter has taken us way a little bit and by designed by the way the Democrats have designed it. So we get away a little bit from Joe Biden's failures. Joe Biden is a absolute failure as president of the United States. He is worse than Jimmy Carter. We have Bisan, we have that off Afghanistan
withdrawal. Everything costs more. You're crunching middle class families. But guess what they've got it. So now we're talking about papers held in the former president's office. So now we're talking about papers, and we're talking about law enforcement, and we're talking about stuff that has really nothing to do with the issues that affect the American people. So you know it's they've played us a little
bit in this game. We're gonna fight back. So when I get a chance to talk to great Americans like yourself and others, I'm gonna remind you that this is about Joe Biden and about his failures in the White House. He's been a terrible president. He's falling down Billy, both literally and figuratively
every single day on the job. So don't forget is they is they go down this path of of looking at a former president in the papers that he had in his office, that what really matters to you and your family or what Joe Biden and the Democrats have done in Washington. Well, the fact of the matter is I talked to a good friend who's been a prosecutor for a long time who must go nameless. And there are many times in life
that you can do something. The issue is should you do something? And in American history there have been numerous circumstances where the presidency changes hands and someone of the different party gets involved and they have to pick up the pieces of what happened before. Now. In two thousand and two thousand and one,
when Bush forty three sees the presidency, there was an example given. There was a small news article about advice given to Bush forty three, It's time to go after the Clinton's Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and George Bush forty three set is time to turn a new page. We're not going to do that. There have been many times in American history where a new president takes over
a different party and the previous presid and it had some difficulties. Whether it was Richard Nixon, or whether it was Harry S. Truman with Eisenhower, or whether it was LBJ with with Nixon. You could always look back in time and say, you know, that guy did the following. Let's indict him, Let's pursue it. Do you understand the concept because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. Well, Billy, As you know, I started my career as a prosecuting attorney. I've been a judge.
I've been practicing law for twenty five years. There is prosecutorial discretion, especially especially at this level. There is no doubt that Merrick Garland and his people at the Department of Justice green lighted the arrest and prosecution of Joe Biden's top political opponent. That's just a fact, and they cannot run away from it now. You know. The other thing I'd like to point out, just very briefly, is I want just for a minute for anyone listening who might
have some suspicions about this because of the way it's being reported. If Donald Trump had turned round and had his Attorney General indict Joe Biden during the throws of the twenty twenty election on the documents that Joe Biden had parked next to his corvette in the garage, what would the America saying about that? What would your breast be saying about that moment that Donald Trump they would be declaring us a banana republic, and then it would be belittling Donald Trump's leadership in
this country for having arrested his top political opponent. That's really where we are. And you know, you can get into the merits about, you know, the papers and whether or not the papers should have been there and whether they you know, I mean, look, not nobody's alleging that Donald Trump committed espionage. They're saying he may have allegedly mishandled his former presidential papers that
may or may not have been classified. Those are all factual distinctions. But the bigger question, and the right the question that you ask is the right one, and that is the discretion in this process for the prosecutor. And the answer is there is certainly discretion, and they made a fundamental error because this is only going to help Frankly, it's going to help empower conservatives and those of us who care about the rule of law. And it's bigger than
Donald Trump at this point, Billy, it really is. Alex Trenent Few, I look at it this way, that there was clear indication that the
president was, in a textbooks example, mishandling documents. I'll give you an example, the federal judge, not the one presently having the case canon, but another federal judge who was overseeing this so called matter, ask his Donald Trump's lawyers to tell the court whether or not, under oath and affidavits, there were any more classified documents ago, because there was some suspicion that he
turned over some but not all. And so what the judge told the lawyers, and you practice law and addition to be chair of the Republican Party, I wanted you to meet with your client and file an affidavit whether or not
all the classified documents have been returned. And so the lawyers met with the Donald, and based upon that meeting, the three lawyers named in the indictment as Lawyer one, Lawyer two, and Lawyer three said, under oath, in an affiday but to a federal judge, that all the documents have been returned. Now, the special counsel involved, Jack Smith, had already received testimony from Secret Service agents that that was not the case, and so he
went back to confirm whether or not that was true. And when it was seemingly determined that the Donald had not returned all the classified documents, it is only then that the federal judge approved the search warrant because you had, on one hand the lawyers for the Donald saying everything's been returned, but on the other hand you have Secret Service agents saying just the opposite. So to confirm who's telling the truth and who's not telling the truth, the judge authorized the
search warrant. And after that big raide and what was in August of last year, there were numerous classified documents that were seized by the FBI and US marshals. Now that's the scenario and so on paper, that doesn't look too good, But in reality, I go back to the notion because you can do something, should you do something? Because there's one cardinal rule that the
FBI and the dog have, and that is don't interfere with elections. The FBI dog interfered with twenty sixteen when the FBI went after Hillary and the Donald. They interfered in twenty eighteen because of the Russian collusion, delusion they knew was a lie. They interfered in the twenty twenty election, and now here
we are in twenty twenty two. The interfered in that election, and now twenty twenty four is coming up. So I you know, Alex, I'll run off the reservation a little bit, and I'll say this that it appears on surface that Donald is in difficulty, But as you point out, we're dealing with pieces of paper that, under the espion Odje Act, not the Presidential Records Act, could have might have been employed by foreign powers to negatively
affect the security of our country. But it didn't happen. It could have happened, it might have happened, but it didn't happen. So on one hand, you have a president who's now out of office who claims, by the way, Alex d that I declassified everything I took tomorrow lago with that new nineteen it's not new, but that nineteen eighty eight, I'm sorry, nineteen seventy eight US Supreme Court case nine ZIP. They ruled the president could
classify anything at any point while he's the president. So can you give me an answer to a question I didn't ask. Well, you've covered a lot of territory there, and again, I think what the American people got to be thinking about, especially as you walk through this analysis as you so carefully have, has the same analysis had been done as it relates to Joe Biden's
classis documents, and the ones that he has in his possession. Has the same treatment, been given, the same attention, the same search warrant. Has all of that been accomplished against Hillary Clinton and the servers that she you know that she used bleach to destroy. So you know, it's a two tiered system at this juncture, and it's driven largely by the Trump derangement syndrome, which is real in America. There are some people who just simply cannot
deal with that man's personality. I'm not one of those people. His policies were great for America. He's certainly an unconventional politician. But again, this has to really Billy for me, and I'm going to scream it from the rooftops. This has to be about Joe Biden. He's taking the focus off of his absolute catastrophic presidency. His presidency means you pay more for everything. He's pinching Americans in the middle class unlike never before, this Green agenda,
Gosha. You know what happened at the White House the other day, which is just, you know, totally against the basic core values of our great country. We've just seen it time and again. This man is a fumbling, fumbling president. And by doing this sideshow action that you're seeing against a former president in his papers, you know this is all meant to distract, and I intend to not let it distract me. I will fight for, by the way, who for whoever the nominee is for the Republican Party,
I'll fight at this moment. But Donald Trump is worth defending. One more quick point, Billy. Every one of his opponents in the primary save one, and that would be Chris Christie, But everybody else, he's a Ramaswami, Ron de Santis, who's certainly his top competitor in the primary. Even Mike Pence and others, they've all kind of stood with Donald Trump on this because they know that it's bigger than him. They know it's about the rule
of law. They know it's about making sure there's faith in integrating our justice system. So I'll continue fighting for that, Billy Alea's tea and add to the argument of can they or should they, which is completely different issues. Selective prosecution is another matter that if Hillary Clinton if twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen the FBI and paneled a grand jury with a full subpoena power and began issuing
subpoenas to testify under oath before a federal grand jury. Uma Aberdeen throwing Anthony Weener, also known as mister Carlos, got every aide that had anything to do with using bleach bit and also a ball peen hammers to destroy subpoena material and over a period of months built up a case among her closest aids to
testify against Hillary. If they would have done that, and Hillary right now was completing her second year in prison, or if in the case of Joe Biden, who had those cardboard boxes in his garage next to his corvette, and in five different locations, he had hundreds of classified documents and boxes all over the place, including the University of Pennsylvania that was funded by the communist Red Chinese, the so called Joe Biden Center, if they would have launched
those investigations against Joe Biden and had subpoenas issued under grand juries and had all of his aids come in to testify, he left the vice presidency and throw in What happened with Barisma on the same day last week that they the indictment
of the Trumpster was announced. The Barisma official according to the FBI released information in an affidavit that there were seventeen telephone calls recorded by the Barisma executive, fifteen with Hunter Biden and two with the then sitting Vice president accepting ten million dollars in cash bags of cash between Barisma and Hunter Biden slash Joe Biden on
that same day. I would say, has the FBI, beginning in twenty seventeen, launched investigations of Joe Biden receiving bags of cash from Barisma, I would have said, okay, And if Joe Biden was not the president, he lost the presidency and they put Joe Biden in jail, I would have said, Look, Donald played the game and he lost. Hillary was held accountable and she's in prisidon. Joe Biden was accountable and he's in prison.
Nancy Pelosi, he went into Congress poor and came out worth three hundred million dollars because of influence paddling. She's in prison. Well, Donald Trump, you played the game and you lost. Report to sing sing can you smell when I'm cooking? Well, Well, let me say this, Billy. You know, I don't know if you saw this, but fifty former intelligence officials all told me and you and the American people that the Hunter Biden laptop
story was false. So I don't know, are you sure you got your facts right, Philly, because those fifty former I'm saying this my tongue firmly planted in my cheek, bill of course, because the entire cover up of the Hunter Biden scenario is an entirely different topic for us to talk about. Again, it's just part of it, really is the mainstream press, in
this message delivery that you get every single day. You know, in this flowery morning shows that you watch, Hunter Biden is worthy of serious investigation. The laptop is real. But again today we're talking about some papers that the president had in his office at his fancy place in Murlago instead of talking about Joe Biden and his failures. So, as you can see, I'm pretty single minded my approach here to make sure we keep the focus on the failure
that is Joe Biden's presidency. I think the schleps, the schmucks, the middle class that work every day get up and go to factory jobs and report to desks, the rumkey garbage men that I love so dearly, the cops and the firefighters and make this country work, the lineman for the county. Those kinds of men and women care about inflation, they care about the interest rates, They care about their kids' school teaching the wrong kind of crap.
They care about high taxes, and talk about a few papers intermixed with headlines from the New York Times is not something that motivates them. Because you can do something, does the should do something? Selective prosecution is occurring in more alex T. I know this Wednesday afternoon you have big pal walls with the schmucks and the schleps all over the state of Ohio. I wish you and yours the best, but I wanted to get your perspective on Senator JD.
Vanson more and once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And keep doing alex T what you're doing. One day you'll be important. Billy, Thanks so much and go Reds. Have a great day. God bless America. Let's continue with more coming up later. We'll be Mike Allen Junior to talk about jury nullification and some more matters. But because you can do something, should you do it? To me? The answers generally is no. And is this worth what's gonna be putting the nation through the
next several months and years. Right now that Donald has seventy one counts against him between New York in Miami, seventy one counts with more to follow because the Sheriff of Fulton County has appeared in New York and Miami to watch security. When Trump has indicted either this month or next in Fulton County for trying to fix the election in Georgia, that'll be an additional forty to fifty counts. He'll be over one hundred counts by the time we get done or more.
