My Billy cunning him to Great America and welcome to this Florio's Tuesday Afternoon in the tri State. And of course right now, it's unbelievable that the pick has been made. It's not Josh Shapiro, who many said it would be for the VP slot with Kamala Harris, and many thought, okay, Mark Kelly. It was a surprise, and that is that the governor of Minnesota, Governor Waltz, Tim Waltz, is the
nominee to be the vice president. So they're going hard left, joining you and I now, as Bernie Marino, who's running against the course, shared Brown shared, Brown's announced he will not campaign with Kamala Harris and he won't go to the convention. Well, first of all, Bernie Marino, I think you're on the road somewhere, heading toward Cambridge, Ohio, where I spent some time when I was in school at
New Concord at Muskingham College. But first of all, what's your reaction to the selection of Governor Tim Waltz of Minnesota to be with Kamala Harris.
Well, it's really no surprise that the most realm liberal presidential candidate in American history would pick the most extreme vice presidential candidate. There's a guy who's full for full men going into girls locker rooms. He oversaw the rioting that happened in his capitals that burnt down. There's a guy who absolutely was out of his mind during COVID. He had a hotline set up so that neighbors could turn in neighbors people that were going to church services
that weren't allowed by his decrees. So this is a guy that says radical as radical can get.
You know, the one thing I found a luster to him. As you may know, I spent twenty years. I'm practicing Roman Catholic, but I spent twenty years in a Jewish law firm. I have great respect for Jewish Americans because of faith and family and work and their contributions disproportion into our society. The fact that Kamala Harris would not pick a Jew to be her VP because of the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party speaks volumes about where
the Democratic Party is today. Do you think faith played a part in the non selection of Josh Shapiro Oh one.
Percent, Because politically the Pennsylvania governor is very popular. Was the right choice politically the only reason she did pick him was because he's Jewish. It's disgusting, it's gross, But honestly, Bill, think about it shouldn't surprise us. The Democrats are the party that fought the Civil War to keep slavery. They were the party of the KKK. They're the party of segregation. So it's just in keeping with their brand can now be the party of anti Semitism.
As far as your race against Shared Brown, I saw some of the polling. I understand there might be two or three or four points down. And this is after Shared Brown and his alcoholtes have spent fifty million dollars by August first, fifty million dollars trying to define you, and you've spent about one million dollars. First of all, the ads say that you were a car dealer that were sued by some of your employees. I went to
American people to get a full picture. How many businesses I think it was fifty or fifty five car dealerships, one of the biggest in the country. How many employees did you have, how many sales did you have? Tell the American people your success story by the numbers, Well, we had about.
A billion dollars in revenue. We had thousands of team members. The share Brown loves to talk about what fully litigated your primary It's obviously a bunch of nonsense. That's every business in Massachusetts where we have to have a one dealership had nothing to do it by other dealerships. It was a complete overreach by the judiciary in which they
changed the law and made it retroactive. But listen, Bill, the only reason shared Ber is making an issue of that is because he has no record to run on. His record two hundred thousand manufacturing jobs lost in Ohio under his watch, inflation. That's crushing working Americans. We've seen factories all over Ohio clothes. He is the grim reaper of the auto industry. He's a guy that will destroy what's left of the auto industry with this ridiculous move
to electric vehicle. He's Kamala Harris's best friend. His words, not mine. He's been elected office for fifty years, and I think his idea is that he wants to die in office.
Well, if you have a billion dollars in revenue, and you've sold most of your businesses, you have literally tens of thousands of employees, they're going to have a few that might be disgruntled in one sense or another.
I get that completely.
On the issue of the southern border, which I think is the number one issue in this country is the southern border and all the problems that come from fentanyl and heroin and human trafficking. Where do you stand on the southern border and contrast out with Shared Brown.
Well, it's very simple. As you know, I'm a legal immigrant to this country. I follow the rules so that my brothers, my sister, my mom and dad. It infuriates me to see this country reward those who break revery the law, scared the line. If you're in the country legally,
we're going to deploy your period. We're not connect to allow people to break into our home because that's insane, and we're certainly not going to take better care of illegal than we take care of American citizens, including our veterans. Sharon Brown has a different idea. If and Kamala Harris want to give them all citizenship, want to give him the right to vote, want to give him free healthcare, free education, free housing, that's absolutely absurd, and we're going
to end that. We're going to secure our border.
At what point, Well, are we going to see more commercials defining Shared Brown because you're getting out spend fifty to one, fifty million to one million. And I guess I fear that Shared Brown's going to have this picture of you devoid from reality. At what point where the Marino ads come up, especially in radio of course, against Shared Brown.
We're very close to unloading a can of woodpath on him, and that's going to happen very soon, and once it comes, it's going to come fast and furious. But as you pointed out, Bill, his ads has cut his lead in half. They're not working, they're tired, they're old, they're fake, just like him.
Shared Brown started in politics some fifty years ago. You may not have been born yet, and the same way with Joe Biden, you hadn't been born yet.
Do you find it remarkable that.
Shared Brown will not be seen with Kamala Harris in the state of Ohio.
Well, you got to remember that he wanted to be her vice president, so he campaigned for in twenty nineteen, she campaigned for him in twenty eighteen, and now he's up against a candidate who's going to expose him for his record. So he's doing everything he can do to run from her. He's a scared rat hiding from her at a disgrace. But the reality is, we know Bill his voting record was almost one hundred percent with Joe Biden Kamala Harris.
In fact, I say that Kamala Harris is Shared Brown with lipstick and the two of them, and by the pick of Waltz, it appears the Democratic Party's going hard left, kind of like I did in nineteen seventy two with George McGovern on the issue of economic development. I know that Donald Trump may not come to Ohio much because it is perceived as a deep red state with eight to ten. Don you welcome Donald Trump into the state of Ohio and campaign next to him, unlike Shared Brown and Kamala Harris.
Absolutely I whear his endorsement of me with the badge of honor. Of course, despite his voting record of one hundred percent with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, he runs from them. But we're too smart. We understand that President Trump will come to Ohio. He'll do commercials with us, He'll do radio ads, I'll do a rally. I'm looking forward to it. We've already done it with JD. Vance, who, of course lives here in Ohio, So it's gonna be great.
Have you noticed that when Walts was announced this morning about three or four hours ago. Maybe you didn't have time because you're traveling the highways and the byways. But I watch all the channels so you don't have to. I'm watching MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News. Except on Fox News the other two we're talking about what a great pick this is. He balances out the ticket. He's sixty years old and she's sixty years old. He's from the Midwest, she's from she's from the far West.
In San Francisco.
He spent twenty four years years in the National Guard, and he also spent time as a congressman.
He's a popular governor.
I heard nothing about the policy prescriptions that he is for Minnesota. Among them are getting rid of all gasoline powered cars in the next ten years. In other words, everything's going to be EV and EV cars. I'm sure worked great in Minnesota winners. He also wants it's a blue state, a sanctuary state. He's encouraging Catholic charities and many others to located legals in the state of Minnesota. He also gives free college tuition to illegals in the state.
He got rid of the death penalty except for unborn babies, and with abortion, you can have abortion up through birth. In the state of Minnesota. There's no left wing radical position he's not embraced, including the George Floyd riots. You might recall that he was the governor of Minnesota when the George Floyd riots started, and there's a classic scene of a CNN reporter out in front of a precinct, a police recinct, in which the mobs, the derelicts, and
the arsonists are looting at police station. And he would not call out the National Guard, and he did not defend the police station.
And the police union was outraged.
So when you think about Minnesota, Minneapolis, I think about Governor Tim Waltz in his failure. Could you imagine a less correct position for a governor than to allow a police station to be looted by the arsonist, robbers and thieves in reaction to the George Floyd death.
Isn't that ridiculous, Well, it's grotesque, bill, but think about it. At the top of the ticket. Kamala Harris started to go fund me page to get these criminals out of jail, So it should be no surprise. I mean, you're talking about the clearest contrast in American history. You have a choice between President Trump and Jadvance that will restore our country to its founding constitutional principles, versus a ticket that wants to turn America into Venezuela.
Well, and you know something about that because right now Madua had an election that allegedly lost, and he won't give up power. Can you recall Venezuela, what twenty five thirty years ago, before Chavez was the richest country in South America, had the most oil provable reserves.
There was a function in middle class.
Now you compare Venezuela twenty five years ago to Venezuela today. Compare San Francisco twenty five years ago as opposed to San Francisco today, and gce the parallel.
Absolutely. You know, we Venezuela was lost in one generation. And if Kamala, Harris and Waltz get elected with Chuck Schumer as a majority leader, which means that shere Bron got reelected, we'll lose America Bill in one generation. That's why I'm running. I am not going to stand by in the sidelines and watch this country get destroyed. This country gave me every opportunity on earth to succeed. The greatest gift that got in my life was when my
parents brought me to America. Not going to watch these radical lunatics to destroy the country. I love.
All Right.
Once again, you're on the road again, just like Willie Nelson heading toward Central Ohio, Cambridge, if you run through New Concord, Ohio. Give my best to all the muskies at Muskingham College who gave me a scholarship to play basketball. I love my year and a half there, but I had to come back home to marry my wife, and so I had to come back home. And I came back home to Xavier and loved it ever since. But I say Senator to be Bernie Marino, thank you for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Stay strong, get those ads running, confront Sharon Brown for who he is. It's time to retire Joe Biden slash Kamala Harris, but also time to retire Shared Brown. Bernie Marino, thank you very much for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And once again, Bernie Marino, You're a great American. Thank you well, thank you, Bell, thank you. Let's continue with more. A couple other things
to consider about Governor Tim Walls. He put out in his first week in office dei orders that required every part of Minnesota to hire someone based upon their gender or ideology. And one of the saddest things he did, in my opinion, was to have gender affirming care for children.
And much like in California that in Minnesota, if you have a child who's thoroughly confused, He's making the Minnesota taxpayer pay for gender affirming care for juveniles, a fourteen, fifteen, sixteen year old at taxpayer expense to become some different gender. And and on top of that, his reaction to the George Floyd Riots. One of the saddest chapters in American history were the George Floyd Riots. George Floyd was a career criminal. It was trying to pass off counterfeit bills
to buy products. His body was riddled with fentanol and heroin. He spent many years in prison, including for beating up women in arm robbery and Derek Shalvin the officer should not have had his knee on his neck for nine minutes and thirty seconds. On the other side of the fence.
He did not die from his phixiation, as related to by the coroner, who said that if he would have found the remainder George Floyd, he would assumed he died of a drug overdose and also a cardiac condition occasioned by all the fentanyl and heroin and cocaine and meth in his system. It was a sad situation, very sad, and once again Derek Chalvin should not have had his knee on the side of his jaw for nine minutes
and thirty seconds. However, when the riots ensued, if these are not stopped immediately in the beginning, guess what they're going to proliferate, and that what happened in Minnesota then has spread around the country. Opportunistic criminals who looted businesses and took over police stations. Can you imagine in your community the police are told to stand down and let rioters and arsonists torch a police precinct station and torch
all the businesses. Over a thousand businesses in Minneapolis lost their viability and were looted and victims of arson cops were killed, thousands were injured at a cost of billions of dollars, and it all began with Governor Tim Waltz in Minnesota not doing his damn job. Well, let's continue with more if a line becomes available. Five win, three, seven, four nine, seven thousand pounds, seven hundred and new eighteen
t Bill cunning in the Great American. By the way, if you listen the last night's game, Della Cruz had perhaps the greatest game collectively ever played by a Reds ballplayer in Red's history. And Sego had more on that coming up, But it was unbelievable doubles and home runs and RBIs. It was unbelievable performance by one of the greats. And by the way, uh, Barack Husain Obama just put out a statement that he believes government out of worked for us, not just for.
Some of us.
That's what's and that's what makes Walt's a great governor, and he's wishing everyone well. You might recall that in seven eight and nine President Barack Hussein Obama said he wanted to fundamentally transform America, that the way America is was not good enough. He wanted to transform it. And you see the transformation in Minneapolis, you see the transformation in San Francisco. You see the transformation of Philadelphia. It
is sad we can't continue like this. And as a conservative libertarian who generally votes Republicans, but not always, when this pick was announced this morning about eight thirty in the morning, I felt good about it because the three choices, this is the one that doesn't help Kamala Harris redefine the Democratic Party. It is the Democratic Party of Barack Hussain Obama and the Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris and now Tim Waltz. That's socialism. He has described himself, Tim Waltz, as a socialist and he's gone hard left. And she went with somebody right with her politically. So let's continue with more coming up later will be more on the game last night, Badela Cruz plus the Reds again tonight in Miami and the Bengals get ready for Saturday with Tampa right here at your home of the Reds and Bengals News Radio seven hundred WLW
