Hi, Billy Cunningham, the great American joining you and on now is a centator to be Bernie Marino traveling the state of Ohio and Bernie, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham showing Bernie, where does life find you this afternoon?
Well, I started my day in Columbus. I just went down for an event in Cincinnati and now heading back to Columbus for three more events. We have Governor Huckabee Centers with us today. She's a great American, a great fierce warrior, and tried to have her in a state.
Many issues so little time. Of course, your opponent's been in office about fifty years. Shared Brown's been everywhere and wants to continue. I would I would anticipate that all the problems he discussed could have been solved by him over the past fifty years, and they haven't been. For those Ohioans may not fully understand, Bernie Marino. The commercials run against you are vicious that you like stole money from your employees. Terrible guy. Can you get us a
short bio of the truth about Bernie Marino? The business as you started, the number of employees you hired, the success of those businesses, etc. Who is Bernie Marino.
Well, thank you for giving me that opportunity. So, as you know, I was born in Columbia.
South America.
I moved to the US, had the honor of being welcomed by this country legally when I was a kid. Became a citizen when I was eighteen. Got to Ohio about twenty years ago with the opportunity by a tiny little mer Cities dealership in the west side of Cleveland. But every cent I had into buying that dealership, took that one dealership and grew it into a chain of fifteen dealerships representing thirty different brands. We employed thousands of
people with a very successful company. And we were successful because we took great care of our people. Because I knew if I took care of my people that they would take care of my clients. We were one of the most awarded dealerships for doing that, not just customer satisfaction, but team member satisfaction. In fact, the Cleveland Plain Dealer a word to be the best places to work in Northeast Ohio. Many times, the lives that you're seeing from Sharon Brown is the only thing he's got because he
can't defend his record. The reality is he's been for open borders. He's the reason we have high prices. He's for the instability all over the world. He wants to send hundreds of billions of dollars overseas and ignore the real problems we have here in Ohio. But we lost two hundred thousand manufacturing jobs while he's been in DC. We've got this generationally high inflation because of his policies. I'll give you an example. Took three hundred billion dollars
out of medicare to subsidize electric vehicle subsidies. So our grandparents are having to choose between food rent and medicine so that a millionaire can lease an electric vehicle.
That's shared Brown's vision for this country.
I would imagine if the thousands and thousands of employees that you engage there would have to be one or two percent unhappy. And so this commercial about stealing money from your employees address yourself to that.
Well, it's total nonsense.
What happens there is we had one dealership that happened to be in Massachusetts where the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that commissioned salespeople are entitled to overtime, even though federal law says differently, Ohio law says differently, which would have been fine because obviously you give a business person the rules, we follow them. But they made their ruling retroactive, which
was totally insane. And by the way, of the sixty plus salespeople that worked there, this case is about two of them. And by the way, these are the two salespeople that if they worked thirty hours it would be a big week for them. They never punched in, never punched out their paychecks, says, they never worked overtime, and they retrospectively decided to collect over time. We of course always paid every single person that worked for our company
everything they were entitled to. And then some like I said, we took exceptional care of the people who worked for me. But Shay Brown wouldn't know anything about that. This guy's never had a job that wasn't collecting a government paycheck.
How many private jobs is Sharon Brown credit in his fifty years in politics? The answer is none.
Zero there, Well, I'll give you one worse. There's no senator of either party in the United States of America that.
Has more lobbyists working in his office in Washington, DC than him. This is a guy who's not for the worker. He's on the side of working Americans. You can't be on the side of working Americans and be for open borders and for government subsidization of illegals and the Green New Deal shutting down manufacturing facilities. You know, this is his record. He can't he can't defend it. So sadly, all he's got is to disparage me. But we're not
going to reciprocate. We're going to go point out his record.
It's abusinal discuss with me.
Your reaction to the second unsuccessful assassination attemp on Donald Trump. I said they're going to get him. At some point, he said two Saint Michael archangel protection. At some point, they keep coming at him. I fear they're going to be successful. How did you react to the second assassination attempt?
This is on top of the behavior in twenty seventeen by a Democratic activist in Illinois who wanted to kill twenty Republican congressmen, including brad Winstrup, on top of the efforts to kill Justice Brent Kavanaugh, on top of the efforts in Butler County, Pennsylvania. How did you react to the most recent assassination attempt of a Republican in office.
It's incredibly sad, disappointing to see something of that happened in this country. Look, when you're running for public office, you expect to take insults and barbs. That makes sense, but not bullets. And I absolutely feel for presidential family. I know the family very well. I can't imagine what they're going through, the total fear. I know that once I'd have four kids. I know that I carried two guns in my car, one on me at all times. I have an ar fifteen at home. I've asked my
kids to beef up their arsenal. If this isn't what politics should be like in the United States of America, we're acting like a third world country. We've got to turn this temperature down. If you disagree with my policies, that's your right, but don't attack my family. Don't attack that. Look, we have one candidate, President Trump that's now dodged two bullets, and we have another candidate, Kamala Harris, that has dodged interviews.
That's the difference. And we should that we should not put up with this these next fifty days. Let's pray for this country.
We've got to get the temperature down and unite as a country. There's more that unites us and divides us. Let's act that way.
What does your reaction do? The media is fixation on pets being eaten in Clark County. It's it's unbelievable that with all the stuff going on with the schools overrun, with the hospitals, and crisis with the southern border wide open, the media is fixated on bloodhounds being barbecued, and it's
every newscast deals with, well, what did Donald Well? They talk about it because the news media, like Dana Bash, keeps asking questions about pets being stolen in Springfield, Ohio, when the reason that's this terrible problem is the schools, the hospitals, the rents, et cetera. And the media will not send people to report in Springfield, Ohio about what's happened in the apartment cost, what's happened in the medical system,
what's happened to the schools. I had on David Yost a couple hours ago, there's about twelve hundred Haitian children that don't speak of the English and public schools that have to be educated. I don't blame the Haitians. If I got the golden ticket and porter of prints, I'd come to Springfield, Ohio too. And they're under a parole program put together by Biden and Harris and Shared Brown. That means it's legal for them to be here. But
the amounts the problem. How do you react to the media's fixation on barbecuing dogs and fricacy and cats.
Well, yet you literally had and they all had you exactly right. It's not the fault of the Haitian migrants. It's certainly not the fault of the good people's spring to the Ohio or the local officials. This is one hundred percent the fault of Joe Biden, Kamala Harrison, Shery Brown. They're the ones that bragged about giving amnesty to illegals and about magically turning them into legal citizens to a temporary protective status.
They've corrupted our immigration.
Laws to do that. And the reality is the media is fixated on what you're talking about for one simple reason. They are trying to get off the hook for ignoring this problem for the last three years. I did a press conference there two months ago. One reporter showed up. They completely ignored the problem until of course they were shamed in the covering it, and now they want to talk about cats and dogs.
Look, it's not about cats and dogs.
It's about Americans, and it's about how they twisted this loophole and our emigration system called temporary protective status to give amnesty to these patients. And that's what they want due to the twenty million people that are here in this country. What I propose is, why don't we give American citizens permanent protective status from a government that doesn't care about them, doesn't them, It seems to care more
about foreign nationals than Americans themselves. That's the kind of government that we should have.
What Donald Trump came out with a statement an hour or two ago that talked about the rhetoric of Biden and Harris is causing his assassination. I made the comment last night on my syndicated show that I think the odds are no better than fifty to fifty Trump makes it to November fifth. The Iranians have assassination teams inside this country trying to kill Donald Trump. There was a Pakistani arrested to be arranged tomorrow trying to kill Donald Trump.
You have every left wing loon trying to kill Donald Trump. On the other hand, on the right side of things, who's right nut jobs, right wingers who want to seek revenge against the Democrats. When you take up everyone's head, we're on headless. When you an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, well end up without eyes and without teeth. At some point, the rhetoric about Donald Trump being a Nazi and that he's Hitler, that if you follow Donald Trump, you're a Nazi, you're a brown shirt,
and if you're Donald Trump, you're Adolf Hitler. Then he's a threat to democracy, that he's an ext eistential threat. There was a black female minister yesterday on MSNBC before he was shot almost shot out again, who said that the target's got to be Donald Trump. He must be taken out. I look at all this rhetoric and weak minded, soft minded individuals like this character hiding in the bushes might be listening to MSNBC and CNN and take their
cues about who's a threat to democracy. One of the commentators stated to look, if you could kill Adolf Hitler in nineteen thirty, would you have done it? And many people pause to answer that question because you know what's coming. So Donald Trump is blaming the rhetoric by Kamala Harrison Joe Biden on his assassination attempts. Is that true? Is that real? In your opinion?
Bernie Marino, There's no question about it. And it's not just these lessling nutjobs. It's the publisher and editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that says that every single opportunity.
It's media reporters.
All over Ohio.
There was an op ed that the Cincinnati.
Inquired just published today today that said that Donald Trump brought this upon himself. Look, we have to lower the temperature. Let's have a debate on policy to share it. Brown, if you're listening, which I doubt he listens to the show, but he may have a minion that does. If you're listening to the show, have a debate with me about your record, your policies, your vision for this country, and let's debate that. Stop the politics of personal distruction on both sides.
Turn it down.
But the reality is the threats and the absolute savage you come from the other side. Look, I can have a perfectly healthy conversation with somebody that's supports Sharon Brown or Joe Biden, Kamalairris. On the other side, look at Facebook, look at Twitter. The comment that people make the death threats and I get sent to my house. It's totally and utterly disgusting and it needs to stop, and the media needs to look in the.
Mirror on that front. Eleven sixteen am. This morning, Borough Love of The inquir printed a guest editorial. The headline is Trump brings these assassination attempts on himself. In other words, Trump is causing his own injuries. Goes on to say,
there's no place in politics for violence. That said, the former president Donald Trump brings all of this stuff on himself when he continues to push lives about legal immigrants like the ones in Springfield, Ohio, when he continues to insist he was not the loser of the twenty twenty election. That somehow, according to NPR and according to this guest editorial, the Inquirer says, Trump, in a sense, is trying to kill himself. That Donald Trump is responsible for this is crazy.
It's crazy.
By the way, that person who wrote that is a nine time donor to Share Brown, So I want to know will Share Brown condemn that rhetoric? I condemn all that negative rhetorics, all that rhetoric that causes harm to anybody. If you're the moron calling in bomb threats to Springfield, Ohio, stop it and you should be arrested and punished. I
condemn all political violence. Will share Brown come out and condemn and give back the money that this person wrote in the Cincinnati Inquirer, I doubt it because they love it.
They span those flamps and it's got to stop.
Reminds me of a rapist who blames a woman for the way she dresses. That somehow a woman dresses a certain way, so she wants to be raped. So that rent a letter to the editorial. In this climate, Trump brings his assassination attempts on himself, encourages others on the left throing to say, you know what, he's bringing it on himself, Let's give him what he wants. No one can believe that Donald Trump, who's a person in addition to being a former president and president, he's a father,
he's a husband, and he's a grandfather. And the Inquirer says, well, he brought these assassinations on himself through a guest editorial that is despicable and.
An inquirer should be ashamed of themselves. Gannett should be a shamed of themselves for publishing that letter. And guess where Share Brown's wife works, Gannett, Do you think that's by coincidence? This is totally wrong and it's got to change, and it's Share Brown is man enough to actually go out there and condemn those comments, return that money, and call for an end to all this politics of personal destruction and personal insults. It's got to end. Our country
is better than this. This is the greatest country in the history of the world. We deserve political leaders that honor this great country, not disparage it.
Trump brings assassination attempts on himself. Yeah right, all right, we got to ron. Bernie Marino, thanks again and good luck to you. And we'll see if a fifty year politician has turned out out of office all the things he wants to do and complains about why hasn't Shared Brown done them already? Can you answer that question?
Got Well, he won't.
He won't do it. But if your view listeners could.
Go on Bernie Marina dot com, Berniemarno dot com, Help contribute, help volunteer, and vote early. Vote on October eighth, go vote early, overwhelm.
The ballot box.
This country depends on our actions over the next fifty days.
All right, Bernie Marino, good luck to you as you travel the highways and byways of the state of Ohio. You came into politics horizontally having been so successful in business, and Shared Brown wants to hang on for one more term, promising things he can't deliver and failing at the things he has. But Bernie Marino, you're a great American. And thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Bernie,
Thank you, God bless you. Let's continue with more. And I know Beryl Love of the Inquiry, and Beryl Love is a good man. And this time this is way over the line to publish an article I guess from a person living in Sharonville. According to Bernie Marino has contributed nine times to Shared Brown, who is a printing in the inquir that Trump brings assassination attempts on himself. What well, Let's continue.
