Live on Sunday Night will Bill Cunningham 2/16/2025

It's terrible. Everywhere I look, it's terrible. The weather's terrible. It's just terrible about what's happening. One thing I found amazing is CBS Evening News and CBS Face the Nation and also sixty minutes that hit pieces constantly on Donald Trump, Mark or Rubio, etc. And it got so weird This morning on Face the Nation, when CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan had nothing to say, Secretary of State Rubo brutally

counted her her weak argument that the Nazis. Whenever, whenever you bring up the Nazis or Adolf Hitler, you lose the argument. But CBS News anchor Margaret Brenner said, the Nazis somehow quote weaponized free speech to conduct a genocide. And I'm watching it this morning. I replayed it on YouTube about an hour ago in preparation for tonight's show, and I said, you got to be kidding me. So Margaret Brennan is somehow saying that Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany,

had free speech. You could say what you wanted and the Nazis would knock on your door, but that he somehow weaponized free speech to conduct a genocide against mainly Jewish Germans and so many others, and one of the worst crimes in human history was conducted. And I'm watching this exchange on Face the Nation and she's using that

as an example to criticize JD. Vance's speech before the Munich Security Conference on Wednesday or Thursday, and she's using this to kind of undermine Donald Trump and Marco Rubio by saying that weaponize free speech is somehow bad. The Nazis used free speech and I'm scratching my head, and so, Danny Gleeson, if you have that ready, It's about two

minutes long. And I can't imagine this being somehow acceptable to those running CBS News when one of their main anchors, Margaret Brennan is kind of criticizing Marco Rubio and JD. Vance And is she indirectly complimenting Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany quote, weaponized free speech to conduct a genocide. Danny, boy, if you're ready for this, about two minutes long, hit it.

and so forth. And when you see backsliding and you raise that, that's a very valid concern. We can't tell them how to run their countries. He's simply expressed in a speech his view of it, which a lot of people frankly share. And I thought he said a lot of things in that speech that needed to be said, and honestly, I don't know why anybody would be upset about it. People are allowed, you know, you don't have

to agree on someone's speech. I happen to agree with a lot of what he said, but you don't have to agree with someone's speech to at least appreciate the fact they have a right to say it, and then you should listen to it and see whether those criticisms are valid. I assure you the United States has come under withering criticism on many occasions from many leaders in Europe, and we don't go around throwing temper tantrums about it.

and only party that governed that country. So that's not an accurate reflection of history.

sacrament in most of Europe. In fact, he talked about a pro life Englishman convicted for praying outside of an abortion clinic. This guy he in his own mind, he was kneeling outside of an abortion clinic in England. His name is Adam Smith Connor. He was convicted in October for simply praying in his own head near an abortion facility,

and he was arrested by the police. He was convicted of kneeling outside of an abortion clinic, saying nothing, just kneeling, given a two year conditional release in prison and nine thousand pounds fine and more. And so jd. Van stood up and said he kind of gave an American speech to the Munich Security Conference, saying, you know, there's several principles upon which we can rely. Number one, censorship by the government is bad. Well, the Europeans think it's good good,

and the Democratic Party thinks it's good. Censorship is good, But I think JD. Vance and Donald Trump ran against censorship. Also in Europe, they have government weaponized against their own citizens.

You may have seen sixty Minutes tonight. The second episode dealt with German police and prosecutors who troll the internet to find individuals who are criticizing other Germans, or criticizing unbridled immigration, or saying something that could be considered insulting to another, knocking on the door at six o'clock in the morning, grabbing their phones and all their iPads and devices, and then possibly prosecuting them for displeasurable conduct on the internet.

They have no right to freedom of speech in Germany, as we do in this kind. We have the right under the First Amendment to speak. And you may know that hate speech is protected by the United States Constitution. The big case came out of Ohio in nineteen six denying Brandenburg versus Ohio, in which the United States Supreme Court said, what fifty five years ago, fifty six years ago,

that terrible speech, hate speech is all permitted. It's not good, but it's okay constitutionally, as long as you're not calling for violence of one type or another. And so here you got JD. Vance, who is a Catholic who went through the process and was baptized in twenty nineteen saying to the Europeans there's too much censorship in Europe. There's no freedom of expression, as demonstrated by a man outside of an abortion clinic in Europe, that the government is

weaponized against their own people. Jade Vans also talked about open borders, a million Syrians flooding into Germany, not assimilating, and have no go zones where police can't go in certain parts of German cities or French cities. And also the liberal media only gives one side of the story, thinking to myself, isn't he talking about the United States of America. Didn't we have an election on this. Wasn't there massive censorship by Twitter and Facebook and the mainstream

media against conservative and conservative values in America? Wasn't the DOJ weaponized not just against Donald Trump, but his attorneys, the White House Chief of Staff, consultants, and those who protested outside of killing centers called abortion clinics. That somehow the DOJ would go after individuals, including grandmothers, and lock them up because they protested peaceably in front of abortion

clinics in America. Isn't it true that we've had open borders with fourteen or twenty million illegals coming into the country. Answer to that question, up and down is absolutely. He could have made that speech in Duluth, Minnesota, or in the Tuscaloosa, Alabama who just lost to Auburn in basketball, could have made that speech anywhere, But in America, we made a turn, didn't We didn't. We say, we don't

want censorship in the media. We don't want PBS to be funded to give us a particular left wing, far left viewpoint, that we don't want the Department of Justice WEAPONIYS to attack Joe Biden's political opponents. That we don't want open borders. We want a lot of immigration to come into this country, but it's got to be legal immigration, not illegal immigration. And we went with the media to be more more fair. But then you know, I listen to my good friend and your Sean Hannity when it

comes to that issue. At least in twenty eight, twenty twelve, the media died in this country and would not report on facts that their left wing liberal bias would maybe help John McCain or Mitt Romney or Donald Trump, and the media didn't report it. So everything that he said in the Munich Security Conference that offended European leaders in a failed society called Western Europe could be applied to America.

The churches in Western Europe are unoccupied. They're vacant. There is no functioning economy in which there's new processes being developed in factive, Google or Microsoft or Apple comes into Europe. The regulators try to regulate American businesses out of business. There's certainly the collapse of the so called nuclear family happening, which is happening also in America. And they have so many immigrants inside Western Europe that have not been assimilated.

The most popular birth name in England is now Mohammed. So he said in Europe, the same kind of campaign speech that seem to work here.

could she possibly have been thinking that? The White House correspondent for CNN posted a tweet linking to the defense fund for accused murderer Luigi Manngioni, who murdered in cold blood, the father of three CEO Brian Thompson honor about December the fourth of last year. How is it possible she could assist in the raising of money for an assassination of this type, which sends shock waves through the healthcare community. And this was a person who's perceived to be a

rising superstar. When it comes to CNN, they want to get rid of Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper and go with Caitlyn Collins, who came out of shall we say, the liberal progressive arm of the Democrat Party. And right now she's got egg all over her face, very expensive egg on her face, because she seems to promote raising money for a murderer, a cold blood, a killer who committed his I'm on video and he foretold her what

he was going to do weeks in advance. And sadly, a lot of left wing liberal Americans think it is wrong to do that, the wrong to kill Brian Thompson. But let's face, you can understand why he did it. That's another way of saying it was justified, which is despicable. So I think CNN needs to call her into the office and talk to her about what she's doing. So let's set up tonight's big show and lastly, sixty minutes.

I watched it tonight. The first two segments. The first segment dealt with attacking Donald Trump waste, fraud and abuse, that he doesn't have the power to manage the executive branch of government, and that was by Scott Pelley. And then the second part was about complimenting, shall we say, the Germans for taking down critics on the internet because

Germany has no First Amendment right of individual citizens. You see America as the only country in the world and which citizens are given rights by God, defended and protected by government. I think about that every country in the world have rights only because they're given by government. But in America seventeen seventy six seventeen eighty seven Constitution, we have rights, human rights given to us by God. And it is the role of government to protect and defend

those individual rights against those who would obliterate them. And it should not be the government obliterating our rights. Would you agree? But in Germany and throughout most of the world, rights given can be rights taken away. For rights given by God Almighty cannot be taken away by government. And that's the essentral part. So later on we have Israel Ellis coming up on the terrible circumstance happening now in

the Middle East. Marco Ruby was over there. He was over there earlier today and yesterday, I think, coming back tonight or tomorrow Monday to discuss with the President his conversations with Benjamin Nintinyahu. Also later on as Daniel Greenfield

of front Page mag dot Com Great Website. Also later on as Steve molloy, you know, when I find myself in southwest Florida touring at Fort Myer's Beach, which remains in terrible condition, the government cares more about Zikistan, and it cares about Pacific Palisades, or cares more about Ashville, North Carolina, or Fort Myers Beach building other countries, other bridges, but not helping our own people. That's called us AID.

But nonetheless he's going to address himself to that. Plus later on is doctor Suzanne Barcher, who's done massive studies on what's wrong with eighth graders and why they can't read. And you might recall in the Bush forty three term there was a fourth grade guarantee that every public school kid was going to learn to read, you learn to read, and then you read to learn what happened to that? Promising more so, let's continue if the line becomes available.

Eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven Bill cunning in The Great American with You Every Sunday Night by Billy Cunningham, and I want to set up

later tonight what's going to go on? But I just find it amazing that the similarities between a failed Europe called out by JD Vance on Thursday is exactly the same campaign speech given by him and by Donald Trump previous to the November fifth campaign about a weaponized justice system, about the lack of freedom of speech, about a committed media, and about a government far distant and discreete completely out of control. Because exactly why we elected Donald Trump with

seventy seven million votes to change it. And after the first four weeks he's done a fabulous job, despite the protestations of CBS's Margaret Brennan, who kind of compared Donald Trump and JD Vance to Adolf Hitler or Nazi Germany one of the worst moments ever faced the nation this morning, and then also went after Donald Trump for wanting to get rid of waste fraud and abuse. Right now, Doze and Elon Musk and Trump is saving us up to

this point billions of dollars. In fact, i'd point out to you tonight that the Government Accounting Office the GAO said about a year and a half ago at the end of the Biden regime that every year listen to

this number. According to GAO, under Joe Biden, between two hundred and fifty the five hundred billion dollars every year was wasted by the federal government through one of the agencies or another, mainly in defense, Social Security checks, disability checks, Department of Education, etc. And that is in numbers from Doze, Elon Musk or me or Sean Hanniteer or Donald Trump that came out of the GAO report of about a year and a half ago that between two hundred and

fifty that five hundred billion dollars every year is wasted by the federal government over the four years then of the Biden re regime. That was well over a trillion dollars that was wasted that we paid in money to the federal government that should not have been paid. So let's continue with more. Our first guest tonight's going to be Daniel Greenfield, our frontpagemag dot com about DEI and so much more, and we'll go from there. But big show planned tonight. Stay tuned with us for the next

three hours. And I love what I do. I love being with you, and let's do it together. This is about my seventeenth year with you Every Sunday night, Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with you every Sunday Night, Billy Cunningham, the Great America. And one of the websites I check out every day is front Page magde dot org. And one of the great contributors there is Daniel Greenfield. Has a new book out, Domestic Enemies, the Founding Father's Fight against the Left, and he has a big column up

about several areas. I read his stuff constantly about how we are deep banking certain conservatives because of their political beliefs. Plus, Daniel Greenfield's got a great column up about the equity and diversity, equity and inclusion in the NBA. There was so much equity and inclusion in the halftime show of the Super Bowl. I thought that's a pretty good topic. But first of all, Daniel Greenfield, author of Domestic Enemies,

Welcome again, to the Bill Cunningham Show. You're also with the David Horrorwitz Freedom Center, and number one explained to the American people, I did not know this was a thing until I saw the President a few days ago taking a task some of the owners of some of the big banks in this country, whether it's Bank of America or whether it's Wells Fargo, about these banks that are debanking conservatives. So tell the American people, first of all, what's going on.

groups they considered to be hate groups. And that was a pretty wide net, those being cast by organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center, who consludered pretty much any conservative organization with normative conservative beliefs to be a hate group, including our own, the David Harward's Freedom Center.

so their research is also top notch. There was actually reports in the media all a time when they claimed that a town was small town was a hub of hate because it was reportedly going to be a client meeting at a restaurant there, which never seems to have happened. But the town ended up on a hate map, and they spent about ten years trying to get their name walking. You know, nobody in the town had actually done anything wrong. So this is just how the Southern Poverty was Center operates.

Their bian is to basically accuse everybody they can of hate of racism for profit, and unfortunately, we were one of the organizations that they also targeted, and as a result, a number of financial solutions, including MasterCard, decided they were going to stop processing financial transactions involving US and a hotel that we were going to book an event at the featured, among other things, Sean Spicer, Pete Heggsith some others. People in the Trump administration were no longer able.

Once you get on their list, they disseminate that list all over America, especially to financial institutions, and if your name or someone else's name, or some group is on their list that has little or no objective criteria at all, suddenly the Daniel Greenfields of the world cannot use a MasterCard because the bank says you represent a hate group? Was it hard to get off the list? How do you tell Bank of America or MasterCard as a Jewish American that you're not part of a hate group?

definitely got worse. This was back when Trump was in office for the first time, things got worse than the Bide administration because back then they had to be weighed a little bit worried about action from the White House under Biden. Of course they knew the government was with them, was actually pressuring financials solutions to go ahead and d bank people. So we had that recourse under Trump. We would have it again now that Trump is back in office,

but conservatives quating our organization. When we were debanked by Bank of America on the Biden we had no recourse at all.

with the racist program of DEI. And you say, in twenty twenty three, Cavaliers and a CEO and Nick Barlage vowed to tie DEI metrics to bonuses and make sure that in their organization of the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is similar throughout the NBA, that DEI would be organically woven within the DNA of the culture. It's just who we are. Quote. We believe that everybody in our organization, every person, every community,

is part of our diversity, equity and inclusion story. Does that actually mean the team The answer would be no. Explain to your column, which I thought was fabulous.

people in the front office. But of course not for the players, because if they actually applied some of those same metrics, well, they'd have to get rid of hundreds of black players and higher hundreds of white players, bring in a lot of Latino players, a few Indian players. They'd actually have to have the numbers that resemble mark and they do this in a variety of fields where

they stay. This is the racial breakdown. This is the forty black people, what's in Cleveland thirty two percent white people, and this is a number of Latinos and the employees have to match that organize that numbers exactly. By the way, the bidenministration was doing this sever with the United States military, but of course they want to do this with the player basically because the majority of players are black, like seventy eighty percent majorities.

thirty six percent? Why thirteen percent Latino? And I would think looking at the Cavaliers games or watching the Lakers games, the great majority of people in the stands are also white. And so I guess meritocracy only applies on the court, but not on all the other jobs in the organization. DEI doesn't apply on the court or on the field. During the Super Bowl last Sunday, there was a halftime

show by Kendrick Lamar that I thought was terrible. I thought that Michael Jackson's and the princes were pretty damn good, but that's a different story. But it was terrible. There wasn't one white face anywhere on the field, hundreds of dancers, and this is DEI sent to the NFL. Roger Goodell said in his news conference before the Super Bowl that the NFL embraces DEI and everything they do, and racism is often in the end zones, but DEI doesn't apply

to the field, but it applies to everywhere else. Have you heard the explanation is why that's okay? I've not heard a good explanation from anyone, whether it's Roger Goodell or the NBA. The NHL is predominantly white because it's a meritocracy. There are black players, but whoever can put the biscuit in the neck gets the job. Have you heard the argument that somehow you and I are wrong and that the NBA is right to have a meritocracy

on the court, but nowhere else in the organization. What is the argument against it?

That's a civil rights violation. So they're actually opening in the subs up to all suits which I imagine will come at some point. And it always shows the underlying hypocracy because meritacracy is great. We should have meritocracy. We should have meritocracy in corporate offices. We should have meritocracy on the court. We should have merittocracy in the military, which we're now beginning to get again. We should have

meritocracy everywhere. There's no basis for hiring people based on their skin color period.

the diamond, we don't practice it in the organization. In fact, you point out that Mark Cuban, who is now a Dallas mavery minority owner, brags about executive leadership is forty seven percent people of color, and that doesn't represent the fan base or the city of Dallas at all. And the NBA claims that over half of its coaches are black.

Is an achievement of diversity, but in reality, in order to get those principles, you have to practice racial discrimination, which is judging someone based upon the color of their skin. But the NBA and others don't do not see it that way at all. In fact, i've seen some of the complaints about black coaches not in the NFL, and others have written columns about this that indicates that it more or less represents the population of America as being

about sixty sixty five percent white, et cetera. And that's the way it ought to be. And so I would think with the new administration, I would think Daniel Greenfield, with a new administration, this might change. But when I watched the media, the NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and who knows if CBS will be in existence anymore. You may know that the president wants to take away their license because of the Kamala Harrison interview. I don't know if

that's going to work or not. But when I make the statement that diversity, equity inclusion is practicing racial discrimination, the media doesn't accept that. The mainstream media doesn't accept that, but I think most Americans do, and so I would hope that that those who want to end racial discrimination will quit racially discriminating based upon race. That's the way to do it. And your call them in the NBA

is perfect. The NBA All Star Weekend is happening this weekend, and I'm looking at it and the great majority of the players are black, and that doesn't bother me one bit because they're the best players. But the same criteria should apply to every part of every organization, and it doesn't. And I think it might beginning high school and college. Do you think there's an indoctrination happening with college kids to accept forms of racial discrimination as a kind of a form of operations.

you treat the one that is more oppressed first. And this is the stuff that is potentially very, very disturbing once it gets down to the real world.

But Dandy Greenfield, once again, thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And I loved your column on the NBA. And for those who feel as if there have been deplatformed, what you have power where you are, but what does the average person do if a bank deplatforms them? What do you do?

discrimination against conservatives. We need to actually bring in add political orientation affiliation to the list of protected characteristics and make sure that any companies that actually discriminate against conservatives will actually face civil rights lawsuits.

inside their prejudice. But Daniel Greenfield once again front pagemag dot com and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show and Daniel Greenfield, you're a great American. Thank you very much, Thank you so much. Let's continue with more. You can't end discrimination by employing it. And I've had several may I use the term black politicians talk to me about a new day in America and that they feel is there a place for us in America today?

With Donald Trump and the White House? The answer is yes. What's wrong with a meritocracy when someone is selected not because of the color of their skin, but selected based upon their accomplishments in life? And what they can do irrespective of color. I' let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham, the Grand American, live with you every Sunday night on Billy Cunningham, the Great American. You know, Daniel Greenfield front page meg dot com. You can watch them repeatedly then

and get all the information you need so site. But the second part of which we discussed, you know tonight

the NBA All Star Game is underway. And when you talk about every major franchise, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, or the Dallas Mavericks, the Lakers, whatever, or Adam Silver, the commissioner of the National Basketball Association, in every circumstance, they completely believe in DEI diversity equity and the lack of integration of different minorities into what's happening in their organization. And it's amazing that merit should apply to about everything

in American life. How well you do. One of the classic examples brought up by Daniel Greenfield, of course, is

that air trific control situation. We have a shortage because the best and the brightest we're not given an opportunity to serve because it didn't fit a DEI a mandate, and that there were two thousands Asian and white male purported air traffic controllers that have sued saying, you know what, we have a situation here where we're the most qualified, we do well on the test, we have all the

academic credentials necessary, but we're not the right race. We're either Asian or we're white males, in which case it doesn't apply. And Daniel Greenfield points that I think very well. And the fact that instead of having hiring by merit, it's done by race. It's the old affirmative action game. It's what it is today in twenty twenty five is reparations. And the argument for reparations as well, shall we say, not accepted by almost all the American people. It doesn't

make any sense. It makes no sense at all, the reparations argument. And that's where we are. So the All Star Game tonight is underway. Almost all the players are persons of color, which is fine with me, doesn't bother me one bit. I think it's great the best and the brighter should play. But when other when the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Dallas Mavericks, and the New York Knicks hire internally the hundreds of employees they do it by DEI principles and not by merit. That is what we your grades

in school. If there's some adjective tests, how'd you do on the test? Did you do well or did you do poorly? What is your previous criminal record, if any? And how motivated are you to work here? Irrespective of your color. DEI is reparations in another form. It is race discrimination in another form. It is affirmative action in another form. So stay tuned for more. As you know tonight, Rubyo is I believe tonight he's still in the Middle East.

Not sure where is exactly. But my next guest, who's going to be Israel Elis who's an expert written a great book about Hamas's goals, what Amas tends to do, and it's not in line with civilization goals. So if line becomes available eight sixty six six four seven, seven three three seven plus later on we have Steven Mlog. We got terrible weather in the country. He's going to address himself to that still cunning into great American with you and all great Americans.

They talked about babies being beheaded. They talked a course about Jewish women and being repeatedly raped by Hamas and held for almost five hundred days. And the first phase allegedly is going to continue about another two weeks. Then the second phase begins, which is, shall we say, a complete release of all the hostages and then peace. I guess one of the experts in the Middle East is author of the wake up call. His name, of course

is Israel Ellis. He spent years and years studying the Middle East and a moss and things of that character. And according to reports on Friday and Saturday, there's a two thousand pound bombs that are buster bombs that can be used against against the Iranian nuclear forces well underground. And right now there's joy, at least in Israel about what is happening. But with the release of these hostages,

there's still about three dozen remaining in captivity. Allegedly about half or more are dead, and then there might be another fifteen to twenty alive. We'll see what happens down the road. But once again, Israel Ellis, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And now that the first phase is about two weeks from completion and the second phase begins, can you see a possible scenario in which Hamas the individual standing around those hostages. Is it possible for peace

to come to Middle East? If Hamas is still in control of gossip? Is that possible?

get out of jail free card. And at some point, whether it's Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu, they're gonna have to do what should have been done a long time ago, which is eliminate when I when I listen to Marco Rubio or JD or the President, they must be eliminated from the face of the earth. That is Hamas going to participate in their own demise by releasing all the hostile.

how everything is connected. First of all, the Iranian Islamic regime has got their nuclear ambitions and everything that they're doing in the proxy of terrors that they have going on around the world. And then the global g head that I talk about in my book The wake Up Call, and The wake Up Call talks about the Global g Hut at length, is where they have corrupted the Koran to turn it into some kind of religious doctrine to

go out there and commit these acts of terror. And they're not just You're absolutely right, those acts of terror not just in Gaza.

And you know, when Trump talks about the plan for Gaza, that's another connection. And when we talk about, you know, the Gates of Hell, this terminology of the Gaza Hell, it's another connection. And when we talk about the ongoing hostage and ceasfar situation, all of these things are connected into what is happening every single day in the region but also affecting the rest of the world.

against Israel. There's ten million individuals who live in Israel, about six million or Jews, and they believe never again. When I visit at the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem about a year and a half ago, never again is everywhere. And I would be shocked if baseball begins play in April without a major attack on Iran to take away their nuclear capability.

I know a lot of Iranians are good people. This is the Islamic regime of Iran that is today in control of what is happening in Iran, and that is worse because they are holding that country, are holding all these people.

going to happen. Okay, In the next coming weeks, Israel and the US are going to have a concerted effort to take out these allot of regimes. I hope Comedie has his bags packed because he's going to see his seventy two versions really soon. I also think that plan, that that Trump's plan. I know, you kind of we kind of talked about the connections between these things, but Trump's plan is brilliant. We need to get the Palestinians out of Gaza. And whether it's temporary with or it's permanent,

I don't know. But we're not talking, you know, people of like, oh my god, that's a horrible situation.

gasms home. There is nothing there. It is a parking lot. And what's even more dangerous is there is booby traps all over the place. There are bombs everywhere, there's tunnels, there's more cachet of weapons. We can't have people there otherwise it's never going to end. We got to clean that place up. People cannot go back into Gaza because it is a It is an absolute hellhole as it exists.

And if you read that book, it's very plainly put and I think it'll provide a lot of history for everybody.

in the next several weeks. It must end. The head of the snake must be taken down, and then the world's given a chance at peace. And believe it or not, the most of the world would agree with that, and it wouldn't take any large military operation. They have an oil terminal about ten miles off the coast. They have two large dams that provide all the electricity for the whole country, and the defense ministry needs to be eliminated

in Iran. It's sad. The Iranian people are a great people and they deserve so much better than what they're getting right now, and they're not getting it. But I think Benjamin Netcinaw who's going to give it to him. He's getting out as many hostages as possible. But allegedly, over the next two weeks, phase one is done. There's about thirty seven hostages remaining, allegedly half or dead. I don't think you're a hostage if you're dead, but that's

a different issue. These are vicious murderers and if Amas stays in charge of gossip, this is going to continue for a very long period of time, and that cannot be allowed to occur. And in fact, this Saudi Arabia cutter the Emirates, none of them went to Hamas to be anywhere involved, although they funded repeatedly because it's good for domestic politics. So let's continue with more coming up

next as Stephen mlloy the weather is terrible everywhere. He's going to come with some of the predictions of the past of what the climatologists told us was going to happen, and none of them, of course did was later on as Curtis Hawk of NewsBusters dot Org and so much more. The line becomes available eight six six six four seven seven three three seven Bill Cunningham, It's a Great American with all other great Americans, every Sunday Night by Billy Cunningham,

the Great American. Steve mlloy, among other things, a Senior Fellow with the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute, a former Trump epa transition team member, also editor of Junk Science dot com, and once again Steve mlloy, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And you have a great column up about the Inflation Reduction Act, which has had some numbers that don't look good on paper. In fact, they look

terrible for the going forward. And part of that reason is, of course, all the money that Biden and the Democrats dumped into the economy causing nine percent inflation about two and a half years ago. And in your column you referenced Senator Mike Lee of Utah, who's a great American, who talks about Congress and the Green new scam, and you have page after page, list after list of the spending,

all of which generates great inflation. When you dumb trillions of dollars into the economy and there's a restriction of products, guess what, the price has got to go up. So what would you like to see happen in the first several months, which I think after the first three or four weeks, it's unbelievable. With the Trump term, I'm talking about clean energy production tax credit. I'm talking about the Clean Energy Investment tax credit. I'm talking about EV tax credits.

I'm talking about advanced manufacturing production tax credits. I'm talking about carbon oxide sequestration tax credits, the clean hydrogen production tax credit. I could go on and on and on. All this is in the Green new Scam. Explain that to the American people.

I mean, along with Joe Biden's Wargan's fossil fuels. I mean, this is you know, this is also driving up cost of energy, which is inflationary. And so we need to get rid of the Inflation Reduction Act, which is the underlying law. We could do it the same way that it was passed through budget reconciliation. Conveniently, President Trump is looking at one or two budget reconciliation packages sometime in

the first half the year. And you know, Republicans, if they have the courage and I have not been corrupted by the money, could make it easy for President Trump and just you know, repeal the entire inflation Reduction Act

and all this wasteful spending. I'm hoping that will happen, but I'm not sure there's you know, President Trump has a more difficult backup plan, which you're kind of seeing in action right now, with does just going into these the agencies, finding the corrupt spending and saying, you know, Congress didn't attend for this money to be spent correctly. So, uh, there's two ways. There's a there's an easy way and

hard way. And you know, I'm hoping Republicans in Congress don't make it, don't make President Trump have to do it the hard way.

up to a up to a trillion dollars. Do you know how much money has been shoveled into the economy. Is there some money to capture? So when you say, like the Trumpster says, we're going to terminate the Green new scam, We're going to get rid of that, and you have terminate next to it. But how much money has already gone out the door it can't be.

dollars has already been wasted. But President Trump could and could make sure that we never get to that trillion dollars spending. And I think that everything has been frozen right now, there's no money going out. Of course, you know, we're going to have fights in the courts and the left is going to forum shop. Finally, left wing judges to say what Trump is doing is somehow illegal and unconstitutional, But that's nonsense. I mean, it is not illegal for the president not to commit fraud.

point we get involved. We have one president popularly elected. We don't have four hundred district court federal judges issuing their own policies on the On the matter of EV tax credits, I noticed in the Wall Street Journal about two and a half weeks ago that Ford Motor Company lost last year in twenty twenty four five point one billion dollars. That's five thousand, one hundred billion dollars. That's

five point one billion on evs. Fortunately, the company made on combustion engines about five point six billion, so they're not had to tour to bankruptcy. And according to the according to Farley, who's the president and CEO of Ford, he says in twenty twenty five, we're gonna lose more money. And I'm thinking, you got to be kidding me.

we're thirty six trillion dollars in debt. We pay more than a trillion dollars in interest payments credit you know, essentially credit card debt every year. This this has got to end. And you know, I'm you know, it's going to be ugly in the news for a long time, and we're going to have ugly court fights, but it's got to be done. You know, people are claiming that Trump is Trump is a monarch and a king, and

you know, Busnik, no, he is trying to save the country. Now, one day we're going to have to put the presidency, you know, cut the presidency back down the size and have constitutional government. But right now we need to end this or we're going to be done.

dire famine. I'm reading the story. It is already too late for the world to avoid a long period of famine similar to the Dark Ages, a Stanford University climatologist said. And he goes on and this story talks about within eight or nine years we're going to be We're going to be a ferreting. We're gonna be eating grass. We're going to be in the woods eating leaves and bark. This is unbelievable. How'd that turn out?

steam in twenty years. So he said, by nineteen eighty nine, you and I would be in a cloud breathing into a critic and arsenic and that we would like evaporate. How'd that work out?

water will boiled dry. The entire flow of the rivers and streams of the content of the United States will all run dry. He also warned that by the next century we're in it now, the consumption of oxygen and combustion processes worldwide will surpass all the processes which return oxygen to the atmosphere. We will not be able to breathe.

We may have to dig caves, live underground. According to Lodge, a scientist with the Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, said Alaska and Awhi are already consuming more oxygen than their own green plants can replace. Therefore, we will die and the New Ice Age will arrive. You might recall in the late nineteen seventies that we had ice and snow everywhere, and time Newsweek magazine said the coming New Ice Age. How'd that prediction turn out?

of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration clumb University. Within the next fifty years, the Arctic could could be essentially under one hundred feet of ice, and the Equator itself could be snow covered by the year twenty ten.

living to them, you know. So, I mean, at least those people were just wrong, but today's apocalyptics are knowing they wrong.

For example, we're being told that Florida is going to be under about six feet of water, that the not an ice age, we're going to we're all going to boil to death, and that the oceans are rising, the temperatures are going up, and we're past the point at which that win out can control it. If we go past two degrees fahrenheit, two point five degrees fahrenheit is the point of no return. What does all that mean?

and they're wrong, not because they make factual error. They're wrong because they're you know, driven by their policy agenda, and you know, I don't know what the future holds. I mean, humanity has survived all sorts of slight climate change. And that's the only thing that can ever really happen, slight climate change unless there's a catastrophe like you know, nuclear war, you know, global nuclear war, or an asteroid hits something like that, you know, that could change the climate.

But emissions, there's no evidence that emissions have had any effect, let alone a warming effect, let alone a harmful effect on our planet.

not acidifying. You know, maybe it's becoming slightly less basic, but you know, cleaning ocean is acidification is like saying that two is more negative than three.

We went about two minutes from Manning Steve Maloy junk science dot com.

Let's continue with more headline New York Times. Two thousand children won't know what snow is. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, live with you every Sunday night. You know, it's kind of amazing. We have the stories I shared with you with Steve mlloy Junkstump. The kids were told forty years ago, thirty years ago they would never see snow again. When I look out at the window, all I see is snow.

When I look around, all I see is ice. And every prediction of the climate alarmists has proven to be false. Whatever difficulties we have, they can be solved. All of us are against pollution, but none of us believe that the humankind can affect the rotation of the plan. Let's continue with more. Coming up next will be uh Curtis Houfing so much more. Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday.

is Curtis Howck. He's a representative of MRC, executive vice president of NewsBusters dot org, in which they chronicle daily, hourly, every minute with the American people see, read, and hear through the mainstream media. And Curtis Houck, managing editor of

a NewsBusters Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. One thing I noticed going on now whenever there's an air traffic control incident, and Salley has been several recently, that number one, it's Donald Trump's fault and you have a COLLAGQUI here involving NBC News, who is a critical of Trump's attempt to overhaul the outdated air traffic control system, and on The Today Show, correspondent Ryan Nobles ripped Trump for quotes suggesting the aviation system is outdated without providing

examples to which you know it is. So, how does the media say one thing about air traffic controllers that may contribute to airplane crashes, et cetera. On one hand, but on the other hand, we know it's an outdated system because the American people are getting the correct information. Explain that to the American people.

The other thing that's really been in the news is Doge Friday Morning CNN high this insane Tiron saying Trump musk alleged massive fraud in government without solid proofs. It's the same sort of thing they do this on issue after issue, where you know, they'll say that, oh, there's not there's not fraud. You know, there's not fraud in government. No,

thea is just fine. Uh, just forget about just forget about the fact that you know, people have been saying this for decades NAKA the Union for our Traffic Controllers have been saying, uh, something needs to change. Forget about all that stuff. There's no evidence. It's amazing to see Bill,

how you know. I mean, we knew this to be true already, but the left has gone, you know, from claiming to stand up for the little guy and working people, average Americans to providing aid and comfort to the government. That's really what this is. Oh, the poor federal workers, Oh my gosh, this is this is just awful. They're just you know, these people are glorified college professors with tenure. That's really what we been dealing with. Yes, people go

in there for job security and government. But at the same time, the idea that they've never been you know, exposed to or have to deal with uncertain job environments, which literally the rest of the ninety nine percent of the country has to deal with is just rich.

you have to retire through a limestone mine. Some were underground in Pennsylvania guarded taking hundreds of federal employees currently, and the records are kept there underground in a limestone mine, which is costing a taxpayer and then in the range of twenty to forty million dollars a year to store paper in a limestone mind, and that's justified.

great answer. She didn't completely flipped out. She just calmly said, well, if you want to stand up here and defense some of these things as worthwhile uses of the taxpayer dime, be my guest, because it's not gonna work. It's not gonna go well for you. You know, the government, even under the most lean circumstances, people support things like airtraffic controllers. People's the military paying our you know, veterans, providing them

great care. But when it comes to these other things, Department of Education CFPB usaid, you know, there's this suck thinking that, oh no, it's just money for kids to have school lunches, or the CFPB is like the only thing standing in the way of protecting people from fraud.

And it's like, what like, I mean, yes, we had like things were created, certain ages were created after the scandal of that scandal, but it's like America was the wild wild West until like the age of Barack Obama or Jimmy Carter before that is just insane.

Dickerson and Maurice du Bois. They're up there telling us every day about the CBS Evening News, and they're comparing the Ukraine peace deal, which may or may not occur. I hope it does, to the nineteen thirty eight Adolf Hitler appeasement that somehow CBS nuve says that if there's peace in the Ukraine, it's similar to Chamberlain coming back with peace in our times, comparing the fight with Russia and Ukraine to Nazi Germany. Explain that one for us.

To simply say that the war has to end. They're saying, oh, he's appeasing and giving in to Putin. They proposed no alternatives. And this is the thing the liberal media bill they love to complain and complain and complain about Republicans ill I don't like this. They're not doing nick rough, but they offer no alternatives in terms of like, okay, so

what do you think you guys should do instead? And their guys have had four years to figure this out and they have to, you know, upset with the fact that, you know, Pete Heiksa simply said, hey, guys, going back to how things were before, like Russian invaded Crimea in eastern Ukraine in twenty fourteen, probably not going to happen like this. That was somehow some affront to humanity. And it's like it's called being realistic, guys.

of kids, especially in urban areas, they can't read and write. Well, what the hell's happening?

with irony. You know, President Trump is absolutely right that we spend poodles of cash year after a year in suburban, urban, rural school districts that are struggling, and things aren't exactly improving. Things are not very good. And to put it mildly, so the solution maybe is not to throw more money at it, because that's really what the Department of Education has been in large parts. It has been redirecting money, giving out plots of money, and clearly things are not going well.

My brother is a high school teacher, my dad is a SRO at another school back in Leicester, Pennsylvania, and they see this too, that certain age groups that we're going through, particularly already what would be challenging school years as they move up through school are just they just behave differently in a bad way compared to the other kids who are younger and did work going through school

during COVID. And I just think, you know, something has to change, and President Trump is saying, let's change it. But for CNN to say that there's no solid Proof or ABC to say there's a permanent underclass being created is just doom casting.

there are many good governors. And in fact, George Bush forty three had this promise to read in the fourth grade requirement of doe. How did that work out? Not well at all. And so if you don't learn to read, you can't read to learn. And so the longer you're in school, the worse it gets. And so the solution is not to keep doing the same thing ninety two

billion dollars a year spending Department of Education. Maybe take that might take forty billion centerto the states and say you at the local level, determine what to do because we have failed. There's some ridiculous number hundreds of thousands of DOE employees who spend ninety two billion dollars. And by the time these same kids in the fourth grade that they do poorly by the eighth grade is dismal. By the twelfth grade, you have diplomas that can't be

read by a lot of the kids. In fact, eighty percent of eighty percent of eighth graders cannot read at the appropriate level. And if you don't learn to read, you can't read to learn. And instead of trying something different, they're attacking Donald Trump for saying education is a local matter. And I know you believe this curtis out, but I'll say it that it's up to parents. It's up to a good mom or a good dad. I had a

great mom and a bad dad. But by the time I went to school as the first grader, I knew how to read, and by the time was a fourth grader, I was reading to learn other stuff. And so if you have terrible parents that don't get a four or five six year old ready for school, I say shut down the system and begin in the first grade. We're going to have a new sheriff in town, which means, guess what you're going to learn to read by the

time you come to school. And if not, stop what we're doing, try something different, because the longer these kids are in school, the worse they get. Now that's the permanent underclass, would you agree.

about parental involvement. I couldn't I can't tell you how many times still I heard my dad talk about that when he'd come home from school and he'd be sitting at the dinner table talking about issues involving parental involvement. That behavior stems from what's going on at home. Yet, teachers can change lives. My third grade teacher got me interested in politics and the presidency and that changed my life. But you also need parents, absolutely duty tango.

for whatever the hell that is of the Beg's. But explain one or two reasons why public broadcasting needs to be defunded immediately, if not sooner.

In PBS has three hundred and forty five affiliates, which is insane when you consider ABC is two forty eight, CBS two fifty one, NBC two thirty five. On NPR there is one thousand and eighty five NPR affiliates the same of New York alone had seventy three. That is insane, you know, the two belt. Lastly, the equipment, they get the nicest equipment out there.

said for that. We don't tell a fourteen year old that can drive a car, you can smoke a cigarette, you can't have a contract, you can't get married. But guess what with the doctor's permission and the hospital's permission and the parents' permission, you can sexually mutilate a fourteen or fifteen year old. That's absurd. But to consider that PBS right now is funded to the tune of five hundred million dollars. To me, that's low hanging fruit. Because

the other issue, Curtis House is somewhat duplicitous. I get the same information from the New York Times, I get it from CBS, NBC, ABC, I get it everywhere. Liberalism is you big and so it's not like giving us counter programming to the mainstream media. It is the mainstream media and we're paying for it.

Bill cunning Into, the Great American. I love to have NewsBusters dot org out there, which records constantly every minute of every day, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and more, New York Times, Washington Post, and they put them all together for you. Now. One thing happened earlier today and yesterday was that there appears to be a CNN White House correspondent deleting a tweet supporting CEO killer Luigi Mangione's defense fund,

that being Caitlin Collins. She is perceived to be the next superstar after the old Wolf Flitzer has finally retired, and along with Jake Tapper, and she had a tweet up under her CNN moniker in which she had listed

a fund to raise money for Luigi MAGGIONI. You might know that on onor about December the fourth, about what about three months ago, Brian Thompson, a father of three and the CEO of Not at Health, was walking to Manhattan to an early morning meeting at a big time hotel in Manhattan and Luigi MAGGIONEI stalked him and killed him in cold blood. It was like a political assassination,

killing someone for their beliefs, for their job. And it appears that CNN's Caitlin Collins listed on her ex account the Defense Fund, which believe it or not, has raised about a half a million dollars so far to defend this murderer committing murder on video, a murder which is captured on video, and it was predicted and it was talked about in the mainstream media as an excuse. I don't buy it at all, but let's continue with more.

Coming up next will be the status of American education with doctor Suzanne Barcher's and It's not good Bill Cunningham, The Great American with you every Sunday Night by Bill Cunningham, The Great American. And one of the items on the chopping block. And the Trump administration is taking about the ninety billion dollars out of the US Department of Education, not to jump into the ocean, to have the state departments of Education and Minister of the money. And many

people find that attractive. I watched this morning one of the cable shows with Ranny Weingardner, who's the head of the Teachers Union. She hates this. She doesn't like the idea of taking power away from Washington and returning into the States. And Doctor Suzanne Barchers is the editor in chief of and Vice president of the leap Frog. She's authored more than fifty books, ranging from college textbooks to short, decotable children's books to readers in Theater books. She served

as a public school teacher. She has an affiliate faculty position at the University of Colorado in Denver, etc. And Doctor Barchers, you appear to be an expert on this, So first of all, let me ask you this, what is the current state of American public education?

are several things that have contributed to that. First, we have such a diverse population, and I think there's some meriag in returning the funding back to the states, because if you compare a state like Wyoming to a states such as California, they have different challenges and different needs for their children.

interpret that. And it's very true that parents these days, because of financial concerns or their jobs, or maybe they are single parents, they may not have that time to sit down and read aloud to the children.

may work really well with phonics and another not. And our districts are oftome looking for that silver bullet that's going to teach all the kids, and that's just unrealistic.

chronically absent. And if you go to the category of black boys that are chronically absent, it's about seventy one percent or chronically absent, and so on.

serve those kids. So certainly financial resources are important.

anymore because of behavior. And I know in Cincinnati there's about thirty different languages spoken, and allegedly you have to get you have to get a translator for each of the dialects of their languages, otherwise it's worthless. I could not imagine being in a Japanese classroom when I was ten years old and have the teacher only speaking Japanese and I could learn anything. And so you have almost insurmountable problems, and I'm thinking it's not going to get better.

We still spend I know Washington, d c. Is about forty thousand dollars per student, the city of Cincinnati is about twenty city of Chicago is about thirty thousand dollars per student, and the results are terrible. And so do you have definable solutions that would turn this around?

And I think when we guide parents do judicious use of screen time, that really helps the children. That's one small piece of the puzzle. I do think reading aloud to young children is very very important. Having them cook with you at home, using all kinds of chores and routine experiences to reinforce learning skills so that when they come into kindergarten in first grade, they have a bit of a leg up on the kinds of expectations that

are there. And one of the things that's been a problem historically is, as I said, we're always looking for that silver bullet. Theories of the right reading program or the right mass program changed periodically, and so everybody's shifts to that new program, and then they find that some children are being left behind. So the pendulum swings, and you just got to get out of the way of the pendulum so you don't get clobbered in the process.

couldn't read by the third grade, something was wrong. And now I know presidents like George Bush forty three spent billions of dollars on guaranteed reading by the fourth grade. That failed. Miserable because so many parents in the public schools in rural America are not invested in their child's education.

They know from the first get go. And I thought, at one point, doctor, and you may get your view on this, for the public school system to begin in the first grade, with the first time a first grader comes to class the first time, and have sit downs with the parents or guardians involved with the expectations. They're going to be high. You're going to bring the kid to school with a cereal, You're going to work with the kid when the kid comes in the first day

of school with the homework sit down. I know, Penny and I sat down with our son regularly from Saint Gertrude to Madeira High School, and we made sure he did his homework and we helped him a little bit, but essentially he had to learn. And so so many children today are in completely dysfunctional families and the mother or the father or the guardian doesn't do that sit down every day, but almost to say, okay, we're going to begin with the first grade, the first day of class.

These are the expectations as a parent, because the parents is the first, the last, and the best teacher the kid would ever have. Does that make any sense?

the rest of us. And it was a humbling experience for me to be teaching again, and yet such an enriching experience because it really gave me a chance to delve in almost like a little one run schoolhouse where I just had two children, but they were five years apart in age, and I had to really think about

how to meet their needs. So if you have that one parent or grandparent or older sibling or anybody, if the public could step in too and realize that they could be an advocate for a child who needs help, that would be a big step. And we have that with the Big Brother Big Sister program, which is not educationally oriented. It's you know, in full but if we had more volunteer opportunities for that one on one experience.

So we're not remdiating that's important too, but we're advocating from the very early age that the learning is important and it's worthwhile. It would make a huge difference.

percent cannot read at the appropriate level. They have no chance of getting on to college or trade school until some I don't know, some bell goes off in their brain and I'm thinking spending more money on that kid is not going to have a measurable impact. If you can reach a few kids one to one, mono imano is the way to get it done. But I think failing is an important thing too. In public schools today,

you can't fail. You cannot show up, not take the test, have fs across the board, and I don't think they even use that grading system anymore, and they promote you to the next grade. I had many teachers tell me that I have a fourteen year old who's come in from Guatemala and he has no language skills, has no educational foundation. What grade do we put him in when he doesn't speak English? It's like, well, what do you

do in that situation? Doctor Barcher's What does any urban school district do when they have hundreds or thousands of students who show up to be educated, not learning the language, and they have no educational foundation. What do you do about that?

the first to sign up. But you know, we have to be asked. There's lots of us out there who want to help, and I think that might be a tip I would pass on to the public at large, is asked, ask for that help, for that volunteer help.

it makes a lot of sense to me. But thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show and doctor Suzanne Barcher's. Good luck and I love your ideas, so we'll see if we can implement some of them. And thank you very much.

causing climate change? The climate change is cold. And if you had my if you were worth about an hour a half ago, I had a guest on, Steve Malloy of junks science dot com laid out repeatedly all the mistakes, all the mistakes that the predictors have made the past fifteen to thirty years about what's going to happen, including thirty years ago the climatologists told you and I that children in twenty twenty five would not see snow. That

wouldn't exist anymore. Global warming warning would be so bad that snow would not exist. Many of us wish that was the case tonight. But also it was so great to watch Jade Vance a few days ago in the Munich Security Conference lay out the difficulties, shall we say, in Europe as we speak, which are very similar to exactly the same difficulties we have here in America today. And it's sick and it's sad what's going on, and

it's not good. In fact, it's bad. In America, we have thought police, we had them until Trump got elected. In America, we were following racial discrimination called DEI. In America, there were grandmothers arrested outside of a border and clinics put in prison. And in America we had unbridled immigration which is wrecking the body politic all across this great country of ours, which is exactly what's going on, shall we say, exactly what's going on in Europe. And that's

what Jada Evans called him out on. Because Germany has speech coach. You may have seen sixty minutes tonight. There were two segments. The first segment, of course, attacked Donald Trump, and the second segment dealt with speech codes in Germany because they don't have the freedom of speech. In Germany, there's no First Amendment. The police can knock on your

door at six o'clock in the morning. And if you went online calling somebody fat and lazy, or went online and republished some cartoon, or went online and criticize some person because of their nationality. You could be arrested and thrown in jail or find up to ten thousand dollars ten thousand Deutsche marks. And that's not the way things ought to be in this country. But America on November the fifth, one for a different and a better path, we said, no, we're not going to go down Affirmative Act.

We're not going to go down reparations. We're not going to go down DEI. We believe in the meritocracy. The NBA All Star Game took place, and all the organizations and the NBA believe in DEI except when it comes to the court. There they believe in merit and I

support that one thousand percent. So also, I want to thank Steve molloy if Junk science dot com for coming on to talk about all the lies, misconceptions and distortions caused by the Green New Deal and the fact the Green New Deal has cost us literally trillions of dollars.

Before you go to bed to night, it's getting late, I know, but I'd ask you to say a silent prayer for Donald Trump and for Elon Musk that they can be successful in what they're doing to change this country for the better and God knows that it needs to be changed for the better in this great country. Thanks for listening, and once again, may you and yours have a great week. Let's hit get together next Sunday night.

Bill cunning and the Great American with you and all of the great Americans every Sunday night.
