1 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: Willie Welk you by Choice Hotels aconor Roagen Roadway in 2 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: Hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying stay 3 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: book at Choice Hotels dot com. Now here's the man 4 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not one, 5 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast exodence, the 6 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: one and only Bill Cunningham. 7 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: Well, my fellow Americans, here we go again in the 8 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: Middle East, and I fervently believe to the bottom of 9 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: my heart and soul this will turn out better than 10 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: a rocker Afghanistan and Vietnam. I think many of us 11 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: have a hangover from UH region changes. We tried that 12 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: in Vietnam, now Vietnam was once again controlled by the Communists. 13 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: We tried that any Iraq for the best of intentions. 14 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: Sada Mussein, who by the way, was our friend. You 15 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: might recall, for ten years a rock and Iran went 16 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: at each other, and that we supported Sada Mussein, the 17 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: Iraqi side against Iran. The ten year war was largely 18 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: a stalemate. Over a two million were killed by both 19 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: sides collectively, and that came much ado about nothing except 20 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: those two million deaths. And then Afghanistan. Of course we 21 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: won there and then in a sense because during the 22 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 2: four years Donald Trump was in office, there were no 23 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: American service personnel killed in Afghanistan until Joe Biden calls 24 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: to withdraw. And once the withdrawal happened, that's when those 25 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: thirteen brave soldiers were killed at the gate and along 26 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: with thousands and thousands of Afghans. And so I kind 27 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: of resist. The idea of regime changed anywhere Iran. And 28 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: the reason Iran is different is obvious. Iran has attacked 29 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: US repeatedly. Iraq did not attack America. Afghans did not 30 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: attack America. In fact, Vietnam did not attack America historically. 31 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 2: But in this case, over the over the last six decades, 32 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: we've been routinely attacked by the Iranians. In fact, their 33 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: leaders wish us death every time they open their mouth, 34 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: death to America, which is the chant now heard on 35 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: Columba University campuses. For God's sakes, let's go back in 36 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: history just a little bit. November fourth, nineteen seventy nine, 37 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: you might recall the Iranian government took fifty two Americans 38 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: hotches for about four and forty four days, and the 39 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: original Iatola arises and he founded something called an offshoot 40 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 2: of Islam called twelve Sheism. Now what is twelve Sheism? 41 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: Danny Gleeson, my producer, wants to know. It's an apocalyptic 42 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: sect which holds that the twelve Iman, a guy named 43 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: Mohammad al Mahdi, who was born by the way in 44 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: eight seventy AD, never actually died, and he's been holding 45 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: his time, biting his time since eight since after nine 46 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: hundred AD, waiting for what. The twelve vers of which 47 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: Iran is now controlled by the various Iatolas, believe it 48 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: is their divine duty to usher into the apocalypse in 49 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: order to trigger his return. So the apocalypse must take 50 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: place in order for the twelf er Sias. Mohammad al 51 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: Mahdi died in about nine ten AD, it's required that 52 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: an apocalypse take place so that this particular Emam comes back. 53 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: He really is not dead. 54 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: He's living in a cave somewhere for the last what 55 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: thirteen hundred years, and hence it's unrelenting half century war 56 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: of terror against the West. As a practicing Roman Catholic, 57 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: we have an order thou shalt not kill if you're 58 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: part of the Iranian Republican Revolutionary Guard. Your order is 59 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: quote thou shalt kill every Infidel you can find, so 60 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 2: that philosophy is in charge of Iran. And the original 61 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: Iatola said that if a virgin is captured and needing 62 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: to be killed, of course that you must rape the 63 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: virgin first, so the virgin can't go to heaven. They 64 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: have an order to kill Westerners, kill Christians, kill other Muslims, 65 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: especially Sunnis and Jews, wherever they might be located. So 66 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 2: unlike you and I, we kind of live our lives 67 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: to help others. We live our lives to enrich our families. 68 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 2: We live our lives to volunteer our time benevolently to 69 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: various charitable causes. 70 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: That's not the that's not Iran. 71 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: Iran believes it is their duty to kill you and 72 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 2: to kill me because we're not real human beings or 73 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: some other And as evidence of that, in nineteen seventy nine, 74 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: they kidnapped, destroyed the American embassy, and the running government 75 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: since them has armed, created funded Hesbelah and a moss 76 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: bok are Ram Islamic Jihad, and a bunch of other 77 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: shall we say, far left doing terror groups. On October 78 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: eighteenth nineteen eighty three, hes Belah bombed the US embassy 79 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: and Bayroot, killing sixty three Americans. On October twenty third, 80 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty three, Iranian back terrorist bomb the American and 81 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 2: French barracks in Beirut, killing three hundred and seven people. 82 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: And during the Iraqi War, which by the way, we 83 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: should never got involved with, we should have done what 84 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: we did and then left. And my support for Donald 85 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: Trump's war and Iran will end. If we put one 86 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: hundred thousand troops on the ground in Iran, it's over. 87 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: I doubt he'll do that. But Iran's part of the 88 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 2: Shia insurgencies around Coolish and forces, creating the roadside bombs 89 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: and IEDs that made and killed thousands of Americans. During 90 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 2: the Afghan War, Iran supported the Taliban. October twenty twenty three, 91 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: AMAS back by Iran launched a Genosada war against Israel, 92 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 2: and the last month or so they've killed the IRGC 93 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: has killed about forty thousand unarmed Iranians in the streets. 94 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: In fact, in the last forty seven years, everyone agrees 95 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: that Iran is the world's foremost sponsor of terror in 96 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: the world. Having said all that, I've heard the same 97 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: arguments about the future and how this is a threat 98 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: to mankind that are heard in Vietnam, that are heard 99 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: in Iraq and heard in Afghanistan, same stuff. And this 100 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: time I trust this president to do what's right, unlike Bush, 101 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 2: unlike Obama, unlike Biden when it comes to Afghanistan and 102 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: the withdrawal or Iraq and Afghanistan under Bush, it was 103 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 2: all a complete, utter disaster, despite the bravery encourage of 104 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: those of my generation of Vietnam, about sixty thousand and 105 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: men and women killed, some murdered by the communists, the 106 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: NVA and by the Viet Cong. Right now, Vietnam is 107 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: more or less prospering as a more or less socialist, 108 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: communistic country that even the Vietnam veterans will go to. 109 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 2: Iraq is completely broken. And from American perspective, the seven 110 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 2: thousand lives lost in Irock in Afghanistan was not worth 111 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: the trillions of dollars of cost. And I lay at 112 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: the doorstep of Dick Cheney of Bush forty three, Colin Powell, 113 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: who's passed on, Donald Rumsfeld, who's passed on I was 114 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: on the air with you every day during those events, 115 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: and I believe what they told me. In fact, when 116 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: I broadcast my show from the Pentagon, I had Rumsfeld 117 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: and all the brass was on General Pace, etc. I 118 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: believe they had weapons of mass destruction ready to launch. 119 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: Sh'm going to turn out to be a lie. Now 120 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: did they know it was lie when they said it? 121 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: We can argue about that, But Iraq in Afghanistan was 122 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: an unmitigated disaster, as was Vietnam. Trillions lost, thousands and 123 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: thousands of lives, hundreds of thousand maimed and injured, to 124 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: no dissentible benefit to us at this point, well, the 125 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: same thing happened in Iran, I pray to God not. 126 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: I do not think that will happen. 127 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 2: Donald Trump and my friend jad Vance has said repeatedly 128 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 2: that there will be no ground troops in Iran. If 129 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: something happens in the next few weeks with the eighty 130 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: second Airborne hundred and first land somewhere in Iran, I'd 131 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 2: be shocked and dismayed because it is now up to 132 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: the Iranian people to decide what to do and when 133 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: to do it, not up to the American soldier. So 134 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: when I read the headlines about Komani bombed to Hell. 135 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: In fact, I put out an x on my ex 136 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: account that he is now in Hell enjoying the company 137 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: of the seventy two Vestal Virgins. So that's another issue. 138 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 2: But nonetheless some of the headlines as we speak. Trump 139 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: urges Iranians to overthrow the Mulahs. Donald Trump's put up 140 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: the message to the actual Iranian people, which I understand 141 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: is being broadcast all over Iran. It is time now 142 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: to arise and take back your government from the Shia 143 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: ministers who have plunged it into seventh century adventurism. Trump 144 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: urges Iranians to overthrow. The entire military command is gone 145 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: and many want to surrender. According to Donald Trump and 146 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 2: Jad E. Vans, the fight's going to be a course 147 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 2: between the regular Army of Iran and the IRGC, the 148 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 2: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IRGC, they're like the SS, 149 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: the Brownshirts. They're the true believers, they're the murderers. The 150 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: best thing that could happen is that the regular Iranian army, 151 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: the elements that are left, rise up and say, we 152 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: want the IRGC and the the eye tollers to be gone. 153 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: It's over. We won our country back. The ninety million 154 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: who lived there are generally well educated. They want to 155 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: get to work, and they had enough of the eye 156 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 2: tollers that took over in nineteen seventy nine. As we 157 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: speak tonight, the US and Israel is pummeling Iran with 158 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: the support by the way of an odd coalition. According 159 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: to media accounts, something called the GCC, which is the 160 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 2: Golf Cooperation Council, has six members Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Cutter, 161 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia UAE. They've all issued statements supporting the American 162 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: action in Iran presently and condemning the eye Tollers. In fact, 163 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia's foreign minister tonight has summoned the Iranian ambassador. 164 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 2: Thank god, he thinks he's in Rihad and not in Tehran, 165 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 2: a day after the Kingdom accused Tehran of targeting its 166 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: territory with strikes. In fact, tonight, it's clear that all 167 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: six members Arab members of the GCC have been targeted 168 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: by Iran for damage of one type or another. Some 169 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: of the Arab Gulf states are no doubt displeased about 170 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 2: being targeted by Iran, and so in the beginning, the Germans, 171 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: the French and the English was they were standing on 172 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: the sidelines, but no more. It appears at this point 173 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 2: that the so called European powers are standing with Donald Trump. 174 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: In fact, oddly enough, there's a banner, and we have 175 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: James Hearson from California coming up later to talk about 176 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 2: it over the beaches of California, in which Iranians are 177 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 2: thanking Donald Trump. Right now, Donald Trump with the Iranian 178 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 2: people in America is about ninety percent approval factor, and 179 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: in Iran, I'm sure he's extremely popular. 180 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: So right now, Donald Trump is. 181 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 2: Popular on the streets of Iran and on the streets 182 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: of Venezuela, but not too popular with the Democrats, which 183 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: is another odd circumstance. If somebody had told me a 184 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 2: few weeks ago that Donald Trump would be honored by 185 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 2: the Venezuelans and the Iranians but hated by the Democratic Party, 186 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: I might not have believed it. But we live in difficult, 187 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: unbelievable times. So as we sit here eighteen minutes after 188 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: the hour, unsure of the outcome, CNN wants a defined outcome, 189 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: and Caitlyn Collins and others is drip with hatred toward 190 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. These events started at one thirty am yesterday 191 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: Saturday morning, Friday night, Saturday morning. And because they Donald 192 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: Trump's not spoken directly with Caitlyn Collins. 193 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: She's got a case of the gougu. She's unhappy. 194 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: She once answers as to what do you say to 195 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: the three American service personnel that were killed by a 196 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,599 Speaker 2: missile attack when they were in Kuwait. The fact is, 197 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: it's an awful circumstance. Whether you're a police officer or 198 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: you're in the military, you're in the Coastguard, you understand 199 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 2: that the risk of death is part of the duties 200 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: you undertake. As a radio talk show host, I don't 201 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: spend much time I'm worried about dying on duty. But 202 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 2: if you're a soldier, if you're an airman, you have 203 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 2: concerns that you may be asked to make the ultimate sacrifice, 204 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: and your family knows that each of them should be honored. 205 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: Don't know the circumstances yet, but it appears to be 206 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: they were in Kuwait when a missile was fired at 207 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 2: Kuwait and hit certain personnel, and unfortunately, three were killed 208 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 2: and about seven were wounded. Is it likely more? Yes, 209 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 2: it's likely this will happen, but is it worth it? 210 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 2: So here's the question I want to lay upon you. 211 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: Unlike the last few Sunday nights, I've had so many 212 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: issues going on with the with the news. I want 213 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: to hear from you, the American people. Eight six six 214 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: six four seven seven three three seven, eight six six 215 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 2: eight sixty six. You know the number eight six six 216 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 2: six four seven seven three three seven high risk, high reward. 217 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: If somehow and and I tweeted or axed about this, 218 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: since Donald Trump help has taken over, the world has changed, 219 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 2: I think for the better. I think because the only 220 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: history can judge what is right and what is wrong, 221 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 2: what is good? What hasped? We have some time to go. 222 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: But on my ex account recently a few hours ago, 223 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: I put the following. In only one year, Trump has 224 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 2: devastated Venezuela, Cuba, is about to flip Syria, Iraq, Colombia, Iran, Hamas, 225 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: Hezbollah and Boca Haram and Nigeria. He has solved eight 226 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: wars conflicts around around the planet. He's a peacemaker. As 227 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: the Iotola burns in hell with those seventy two virgins. 228 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: Is what I said. Is the world now a safer 229 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: place because of Donald Trump? That is the issue laid 230 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: upon the table, if you're a thoughtful consideration, and I'm 231 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: proud we have this guy in office instead of instead 232 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: of Kamala Harrison made a stupid comment the other day. 233 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: I let's take some call. The line becomes available eight 234 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: sixty six. We have two lines open eight six six 235 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: six four seven seven three three seven, Bill cunning and 236 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: the Great American with you every Sunday night. A couple 237 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: more housekeeping matters before I take your calls. We have 238 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: calls from Oklahoma, Florida, Cincinnati, West Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, 239 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 2: also California. But uh well, one thing you can anticipate 240 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: is that I get the sense. I'll lay this upon 241 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: the table for your thoughtful considerations. Do the loudmount Democrats 242 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: in the Senate and in the House actually want America 243 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 2: to lose this war, this conflict because losing the war 244 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: helps them and hurts Donald Trump? Or do they want 245 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: America to win even if Donald Trump if we get 246 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 2: some politicals success from it. From my perspective, I want 247 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: America to always succeed when it comes time to fight 248 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: the nation's enemies wherever they might be located. 249 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 3: I think it's a great idea. Let's go ready to go. 250 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: That's why we have a military, the greatest in the world, 251 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: the greatest in the history of the world. When I 252 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: was Senator Kelly or Swallwell or the squad, aoc, et cetera. 253 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: I have a strong sense Mo'm Donnie issued some stupid 254 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: comment on New York City. Of course he's a Muslim, 255 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 2: he's a supporter of Iran. Kind of condemning the president. 256 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 3: I don't hear. 257 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: Condemnation of what's happening to women and children, females throughout 258 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 2: most of the Islamic world, especially in Iran and Iraq today. 259 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: Imagine being born female in Damascus or in Tehran. So 260 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,239 Speaker 2: the female is protesting on college campuses, like at Columbia University. 261 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: I have Wayne Olenroute coming up later and talk about 262 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: this is alma mater was in his Columbia University. They 263 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: have signs saying death to America marching around Columbia University, 264 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: which is of course an Ivy League school. A great 265 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: note Columbia University on campus, death to America. They want 266 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 2: to kill it. They advocate murdering you and your family. 267 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 2: And that's in our college campuses. Try that almost anywhere 268 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 2: else in the world. What would happen to you. But 269 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 2: that's how bad things are. That Democrats hate Trump more 270 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 2: than they love America. And it's demonstrated, of course by 271 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: the State of the Union address. What was that a 272 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 2: few days ago? I thought tonight's topic would be State 273 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: of the Union address when he had put out the 274 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 2: question do you care and defend America more than the 275 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: legal aliens to Democrats wouldn't stand up. It's a great 276 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 2: campaign and it's going to be played. 277 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 3: It's brilliant. 278 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,479 Speaker 2: I'm going to ask Wayne on the route about that 279 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: in a couple hours from now as to his feelings 280 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: about his alma mater hosting allegedly students at Columbia urging 281 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: demanding death to America. 282 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 3: They want you dead. Unbelievable. 283 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 2: And I think about from West Virginia, those two National 284 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 2: Guardsmen that went there to defend and protect the residents 285 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: of DC. One was shot in the back of the head, 286 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 2: the other one was at the State of Union address 287 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 2: making a remarkable recovery. Those of the individuals I support 288 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: and love. When you step forward and say choose me, 289 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 2: I'll do this. I have great respect for the military 290 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: and for police officers, US Marshall Service, Ice, the FBI 291 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 2: corrections officials. I have great respect for those who who 292 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: work as firefighters, who kind of understand that part of 293 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 2: what I'm doing might indicate I'll be forced to make 294 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 2: the ultimate sacrifice, which is what happened to three of 295 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: the troops today in Kuwait when a missile rained down 296 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: upon them and they were killed by an Iranian missile. 297 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 3: There might be more of that happening in the future. 298 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 2: From history's vantage point, I can tell you exactly what 299 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: worked and what didn't work. World War Two worked, Vietnam 300 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 2: didn't work, didn't work, Afghanistan didn't work. In a few years, 301 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: we'll find out whether it worked or not. It's up 302 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: to the running people to describe and defind their own future. Tonight, 303 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 2: as the President said, I support and love Donald Trump. 304 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: Let's continue. I'll take calls directly on the other side. 305 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: We have full lines, of course, when the line becomes available. 306 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 2: Eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven? 307 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 2: Are you with the President or against him? Bill Cunningham 308 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: with you? Every something that we hit, the music, Danny Boy, 309 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 2: a little bit of James Brown. 310 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 3: I loved James Brown. That's another issue. 311 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 2: Interviewed him a couple of times wonderful, But nonetheless, before 312 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: I take a couple of calls, we have full lines. 313 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: I'll be with you another two or three minutes. The 314 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 2: next generation of warfare is happening as we speak. It 315 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 2: used to be storm the beaches, cover the skies, artillery shelves, 316 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: and see what happens. That doesn't occur anymore. Epic fury 317 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: is indicating from some sources that I have, that we 318 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 2: were using reverse radar, stealth technology, drones and sonic weapons. 319 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 3: What are they? 320 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 4: Well? 321 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 2: Traditionally, a radar station would light up, send out a pulse. 322 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: It would indicate a metal object is coming, and then 323 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 2: if you're really good, you'll be able to describe the speed, 324 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 2: the altitude, and the kind of object coming. In today's 325 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: reversed radar, what happens is when the Iranians put on 326 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: radar to try to find out what was going on, 327 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: that we sent back a cloaking device which shielded that 328 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 2: radar from seeing what's going on, and we specifically identified 329 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: the location of the radar station, which meant, all of 330 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 2: a sudden, instead of discovering what's happening by turning on 331 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 2: the radar, guess what happened? A missile was coming down 332 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: your throat. They weren't prepared for that stealth technolog jeez. 333 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 2: By that, I mean that the skies are open over 334 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 2: Iran for Israelian American jets because they have jammed every 335 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: capability of the Iranian military that's so called Elite Corps 336 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 2: to discover where the planes are and whether or not. 337 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: We have drone technology in which drones hover over an 338 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: area about eight thousand feet in about eight eight thousand 339 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: feet up, and it simply hovers there until locating a 340 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 2: target to hit. There might be one thousand, five thousand 341 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 2: of these drones over the top of Iran as we speak, 342 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 2: and they're simply waiting to attack, to receive a signal 343 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: and then they attack. So the object of using ground 344 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 2: forces in this war is simply is not possible because 345 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 2: it's not needed. Plus we have so called sonic weapons. 346 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 2: You might recall Maduro at fifteen hundred Venezuelan soldiers around 347 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 2: him and also several hundred Cuban soldiers to protect him. 348 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: He was told repeatedly they're going to come and get you, 349 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: and Nicholas Maduro said, well, that's impossible. I'm in my 350 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: safe house, in my safe rooms, I have a couple 351 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: thousand soldiers around and within twenty or thirty minutes use 352 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: of sonic weapons which burst the ear drums of the soldiers. 353 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: The fifteen hundred Venezuelan soldiers found themselves bleeding out of 354 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 2: their eyeballs, incapable of standing up without falling over and vomiting. 355 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: It's hard to fight in that circumstance, would you agree. 356 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: So we have these next generation weapons that means that 357 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: the casualties on our side will be quite small and 358 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 2: the casualis on the other side will be quite large. 359 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 2: There was one report that you heard some of them 360 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 2: on ABC News, that we attracked Komene for a long 361 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 2: period of time to get as circumstances. Also, the Masad 362 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: has thousands of undercover agents inside the Runan government inside Tehran, 363 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 2: cloaking themselves and discovering exactly where the important leaders are. 364 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: According to one media account, it was scheduled to take 365 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 2: place on January I'm sorry in February the twentieth, but 366 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: they wanted to get more intelligence that get all the 367 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: leaders together. There was some reporting on one side that 368 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: a false signal was sent out to the highest level 369 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: of the Komane government to meet at a certain place. 370 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: It wasn't sent by Komyane. It was sent by the 371 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: Masad to meet there. And so you had essentially the 372 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: heads of the military, heads of their air force to 373 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 2: Polague leadership meeting and a location at a certain time 374 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 2: when the message wasn't sent by Komene at all. It 375 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: was sent by Masad. And once they arrived at that location, 376 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: boom it happened. The bunker busters were used and the 377 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: decapitation strike took place. So Komayanee right now is in 378 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 2: Hell with his seventy two virgins. Hopefully he's enjoying himself 379 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: along with all the elements of his family, sadly, including 380 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 2: his children and his wives. And the of the IRCG 381 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 2: was also there for the powwow that never took place 382 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 2: because it was in Masad operation. The cloaking devices available 383 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 2: today are simply incredible, as is the sonic weapons, the 384 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 2: reverse radars, the stealth technology, and the drones. 385 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 3: And that's where we are. 386 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 2: It's as if fighting World War two with our technology, 387 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 2: probably one aircraft carrier would disabled the entire Japanese fleet 388 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: and the Japanese army. With one aircraft carrier today, they 389 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 2: would decimate the whole island. In the good old days, 390 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 2: you need it personnel. Now you need technology. So I 391 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 2: find that epic fury I hope will be a great success. 392 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 2: I've been with you every night. I've been with you 393 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 2: every Sunday night now for about seventeen years, and I 394 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: would be shocked and dismayed if American soldiers land on 395 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 2: the beaches of southern Iran. I'd be shocked and I'd 396 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: be surprised if this thing isn't over with in the 397 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 2: next two to four weeks. And it must end by 398 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: having the Iranian government. If somebody from the IRGC is 399 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: in charge, and he marches to the same beat as 400 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: the eye toolas that's going to be a temporary, temporary 401 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: job for him. And at some point the delusional Democrats 402 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: have got to quit saying that Iran was not a threat. 403 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 2: There's literally thousands of Americans dead and one hundreds of 404 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: thousands of others around the world dead because of the 405 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: Irignan government. They've been killing us since nineteen seventy nine. 406 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 2: Dead to America means we're going to kill you. Thou 407 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: shall not kill is a Western principle. Thou shall kill 408 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 2: is an Islamic principle, and that's where it must end. 409 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 2: Must take your calls. And by the way, I'm glad 410 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: you brought that up, Danny Gleeson. It was a certain 411 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: recipient of the Medal of Honor was asked and he 412 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 2: put it on his on his ex account. It's only 413 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: about only about sixty five seconds about why one should 414 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: not confront today's American military. 415 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 3: Danny Gleeson hid it and the threats to our nations. 416 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 3: They don't sleep, They're watching our every move. 417 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 5: Iran, Russia, China, North Korea isis a Kaida. 418 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 3: They may be watching this right now. 419 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 5: Our military should not be mistaken for a cable news 420 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 5: gabfest show. 421 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 3: We don't care what you look like. We don't care 422 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 3: who you voted. 423 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 5: For, who you worship, what you worship, who you love. 424 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 5: It doesn't matter if your dad left you millions when 425 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 5: he died, or if he knew who your father was. 426 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 5: We have been honed into a machine of lethal moving 427 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 5: parts that you would be wise to avoid. If you 428 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 5: know what's good for you, we will not be intimidated. 429 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 5: We will not back down. We've seen war. We don't 430 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 5: want war. But if you want war with the United 431 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 5: States of America. There's one thing I could promise you, 432 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 5: So help me, God, someone else will raise your sons 433 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 5: and daughters. 434 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: Bingo. Every time I hear that, I feel well. I 435 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 3: feel good. 436 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: Technology with passion, professionalism rules today's military. It is a 437 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 2: commando force, unlike the military under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 438 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 2: God forbid if she was Imagine if she was the 439 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 2: president right now, Kamala Harris is the president, what would 440 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: the world look like? Not nearly as good. I want 441 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 2: more Democrats like John Fetterman to wish us well, to 442 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 2: understand the threats that we're confronting head on, and wish 443 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 2: us success, rather than Senator Shift and so many other 444 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 2: Democrats who say we have no idea what we're doing. 445 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 2: The military is being misled that this is a war 446 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 2: that will end poorly, using as an example Iraq and Afghanistan. 447 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 2: Those wars end poorly because of the failure of the 448 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 2: Bush administration, Dick Cheney, Donald Remsfeld, etc. To understand that 449 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 2: once San Mussein had been toppled, the best thing to 450 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: say American lives was to get out immediately. Same thing 451 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: in Afghanistan. That thing had quieted down until Joe Biden 452 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: took over, and then at Heaven's Gate it allowed the 453 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 2: murder of thirteen American soldiers and also the decapitation of 454 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 2: many of the supporters who had in Afghanistan. And if 455 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 2: this thing that the worst thing that can happen to 456 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 2: me is that the IRGC continues control over Iran and 457 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 2: that a few years from now we're confronting with another threat. 458 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: The best thing that can happen is that the ninety 459 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: million Iranians would arise as one and take over the government, 460 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 2: the Iranian army itself. The regulars would go against the 461 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: IRGC and say no more. And what's happening now is 462 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 2: that the next few weeks. Maybe the President said to 463 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 2: Night about four weeks, so it might be two weeks, 464 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: might be six weeks. But this air campaign will devastate 465 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 2: and destroy all the abilities of Iran for a long 466 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: period of time to put together any threat to the 467 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 2: rest of the world. We'll see what happens down the road. 468 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: But that was a Medal of honor winner, and that 469 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: guy's fabulous. Let's continue now, We'll go to Let's go 470 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: to Anne in Washington and then Anita in West Virginia, 471 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: and Jeff and Missouri and Anne in Washington, I assume 472 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 2: the state of Washington. Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. 473 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 6: An. How are you hi, Billy, Thanks, I'm very blessed. 474 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 6: I wanted to say that over fifteen years ago, I 475 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 6: read a book by doctor Walney Ferris, thinking that Saddana 476 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 6: thing really did have WMD. And he reported that during 477 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 6: the build up of the United States of the war 478 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 6: against him. I mean it was known by intelligence and 479 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 6: it was photographed that there was a large convoy of 480 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 6: trucks going from Iraq to Syria. And he maintained that 481 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 6: there was WMD and if they were found, he said, 482 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 6: it's the responsibility of the United Nations to find them. 483 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,239 Speaker 6: So I always believed that it was true that they 484 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 6: really had WMD, and he said so, and he's an 485 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 6: expert in the area. 486 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: Well, and whether I've read that, I've had will lead 487 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,719 Speaker 2: Ferris on a few times, and I take that, Okay, 488 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: that's possible that occurred. But having said okay, say it 489 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 2: went to Syria, WND would have been what bachulism might 490 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: have been, chemical weapons, biological weapons, that might have been 491 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 2: the beginnings of a nuclear whatever it was. But the 492 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 2: way the Iraqi War turned out. Was that a success 493 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: in your opinion? 494 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 7: Oh? 495 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 6: No, I think it was handled early. 496 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely it was awful. 497 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 2: And that's why I have trust in faith in this 498 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 2: president to learn from the mistakes of Bush and Obama 499 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: and Biden and Kamala Harris and to do what's right. 500 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 2: I have trust in Trump that I had trust trust 501 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: in Bush forty three until it was destroyed. And when 502 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: when we got into that war and all of a 503 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 2: sudden we lost seven thousand breaks of American soldiers costing 504 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 2: a trillion dollars. And here we are fifteen twenty years later, 505 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 2: and guess what I rock's and worshiped than it was 506 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 2: on Assadom Mussein. Same thing with Afghanistan. Think of the 507 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 2: girls in Afghanistan, what they You're a woman, I assume 508 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 2: imagine being in Afghanistan race as a woman.

They 534 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 8: could care less, but they're going to cry their hearts 535 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 8: out over a military soldier. 536 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 2: Nata I if it was my son or my daughter, 537 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 2: who don't know the general, the other three that were killed, 538 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 2: there's going to be probably more, and my heart goes 539 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 2: out to them, and they gave their life for the 540 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: sacrifice of others, the greatest thing act. I thank him 541 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 2: to the bottom of my heart. And they signed up 542 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 2: for it and they paid the ultimate price. We should 543 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 2: take care of their families and honor their sacrifice. But 544 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 2: I don't hear the same treatment that the number empandied 545 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,959 Speaker 2: about in the media is between one and two thousand 546 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 2: Americans are dead today, goes to the open border policies 547 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 2: of Joe Biden, without taking into account the forty thousand 548 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 2: on drug abuse and drug use ventanyl heroin, just direct 549 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 2: murder and manslaughter charges one to two thousand were calls. 550 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 2: And I don't see any crocodile tears cried by the 551 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 2: liberal Democrats. Is the rape, robbery, force, prostitution, burglary. 552 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 3: Robbery, murder, nothing, nothing. 553 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,959 Speaker 2: Zero, zilch. And it's sad. And we have a hell 554 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 2: of a road. We've had some accid terrorism. What happened 555 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 2: in Austin, Texas last night, someone wearing a shirt saying 556 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 2: built by Allah, who went and killed a bunch of 557 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 2: people at a disco. And we have more stabbings across 558 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 2: the country tonight, which is highly suspicious because there were 559 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 2: Islamic terrorists brought into from the southern border by Hesbla 560 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 2: and Hamas during Joe Biden's era. And they're killing, maiming 561 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 2: and raping and robbing and drug that they're doing all that, 562 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 2: and the Democrats can't say a damn thing about that. 563 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 3: But I want to know. 564 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 8: But they're going to cry their eyes out over soldier 565 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 8: or to trying to get the American people into an uproar. 566 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 3: You get us hopefully need it.

I'm 571 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 2: only hopeful for a change. Another membery of Islamic Revolution 572 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 2: could become worse in the eye told it. And if 573 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 2: that's the case, he better bend over and kisses ask goodbye. 574 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 2: Forty nine minutes after the hour, Bill Cunning and the 575 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 2: Great American with you every Sunday night. Okay, We'll never stopped. 576 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 2: We simply continue to take your call. Later on the 577 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 2: next hour or so, we have James Person from the 578 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 2: left coast. We have Wayne Allen Root coming on about 579 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 2: an hour and a half or so to talk about 580 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 2: his feelings about the assault on Iran, well deserved, by 581 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 2: the way. At no point do I recall any country 582 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 2: in the world that's done to what Iran has done 583 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 2: to America since nineteen seventy nine, Not even close. We 584 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 2: went to war with Iraq and to Afghanistan when they 585 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: didn't attack us repeatedly as the Eye told us, have 586 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 2: done since nineteen seventy nine. We've finally got a president 587 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,879 Speaker 2: with big brass coyonis that will say, Okay, you say 588 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 2: that to America, I ate that to you. And then 589 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 2: our greatest partner, I think God's represented on Earth is 590 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 2: the United States of America, and right behind us is Israel. 591 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 2: Put us two together, that is more than a formidable 592 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 2: force to be reckoned with. And the headlines now Iran 593 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 2: regime will never recover, according to British sources, after the 594 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 2: devastating losses, and it will continue until they stop. Until 595 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 2: they stop, and I don't know when that'll be. It 596 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 2: might be a week, might be a month. I want 597 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 2: America to succeed. Do you answer that question, do you 598 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 2: want America to succeed? 599 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 3: Yes? Or no? 600 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 2: I think ninety five percent of my audience would say yes, Well, 601 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 2: I guess what, there's Senate Democrats and many in the 602 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 2: House that want us to fail. They want American service 603 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 2: personnel to be hurt. They want us to fail because 604 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 2: success helps Donald Trump. Same thing with Venezuela. What a 605 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 2: great success that was. You could not get hardly any 606 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 2: Democrats this side of Senator John Fetterman to compliment the 607 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 2: President and the military for the execution one of the 608 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: greatest war functions in the world history, to pull out 609 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 2: of a country and indicted co conspirator on cocaine and 610 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 2: heroin who had killed thousands of his own citizens and 611 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 2: killed hundreds of thousands of Americans because of drugs, and 612 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 2: that was a great success. You couldn't get one Democrat 613 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 2: to say other than John Fetderman, well, that was a 614 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 2: great idea. And now I have a sense that Democrats 615 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 2: are rooting against the United States of America. They won 616 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 2: failure because it fits them politically, and that is disgusting. 617 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 2: Let's continue, go back to your calls. I love hearing 618 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 2: from you, the American people. If a line becomes available 619 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 2: eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven, 620 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 2: Bill Cunningham called by Barrett Media the top talk show 621 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 2: host in America. How about that? Thank you Bill Cunningham, 622 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 2: with you every Sunday. 623 00:37:50,440 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 9: Man Willie welcome you. 624 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: By Choice Hotels, Econo Lodging roadway In Hotels are serving 625 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 1: up double points for every qualifying stay book at choice 626 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: Hotels dot com. Now here's the man who's been recognized 627 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: as radio's best, the recipient of not one, but two 628 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast exodence, the one and 629 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: only Bill Cunninghead. 630 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 2: Let's get back to the calls. Later on way, Wayne 631 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 2: Allen wrote, and James Harrison joining us. Also Keith O'Bryan 632 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 2: later on about book the Heartland. We'll talk about that, 633 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 2: but just briefly, looking at my left and right now, 634 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party has come out ninety nine percent against 635 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 2: what's happening in Iran, and the Republican Party is on 636 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 2: the opposite side. The exiled Iranian Crown Prince Pavlave has said, 637 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 2: this is the beginning of the end. It's either the 638 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 2: beginning of the end or the end of the beginning, 639 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 2: one or the other. But whatever I cannot conceive of 640 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 2: the Iranian people permitting the moolahs and the Iyatola is 641 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 2: to control their lives the way it's happened since nineteen 642 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,240 Speaker 2: seventy nine, I can't conceive of occurring. I guess it's possible, 643 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 2: but nonetheless, the Iranian people, it's in your hands. And 644 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 2: I think the best thing Donald Trump said was a rise. 645 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 2: It's up to you now. There'll be no ground troops 646 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 2: from America going into Iran. We've had those experiences in 647 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 2: Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan, and all three turned out 648 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 2: to be disastrous. And Donald Trump, I think, will learn 649 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 2: from that because he's not part of the so called establishment, 650 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 2: not part of the Clinton Bush duo that dominated American 651 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 2: politics for the past twenty five or thirty years. And 652 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 2: throw Joe Biden in there with Clinton and Obama and 653 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 2: Harris and Tim Waltz. By the way, there's more riots 654 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 2: taking place in Minneapolis. More of a few hundred more 655 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 2: were arrested for breaking up glasses and throwing nails on 656 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,360 Speaker 2: roadways and making complete fool of themselves because they're paid 657 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 2: to do it. Until judges are not soft on crime 658 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,919 Speaker 2: is going to continue. If some of these individuals who 659 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 2: saw to police officers got six months to year in prison. 660 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 2: It will stop. New York City, when those cops were 661 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 2: assaulted with ice and snow, some of the snowballs had 662 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 2: rocks inside of them. Two or three of the cops 663 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 2: in New York City went to the hospital. Mom, Donnie 664 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 2: sat out as a childish show. It was a snowball fight, 665 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 2: Noah wasn't. It was assault on police officers. And for 666 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 2: any of these soft on crime American cities, if you 667 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 2: assaulted cops, you should go to prison one to five 668 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 2: years without an issue. If you use a gun, you 669 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 2: should go to prison for a long periodod of time. 670 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 2: If you're eighteen years old and you commit a terrible 671 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 2: offense with a gun, you belong in prison for a 672 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,280 Speaker 2: long time. And the reason so many of our cities 673 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 2: are in chaotic conditions is because soft on crime policies, 674 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 2: mainly by the judges and the prosecutors, including that comp 675 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 2: that fool in Philadelphia, Krasnik, who is going to try 676 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 2: to arrest federal agents in Philadelphia. 677 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 3: It's chaos. 678 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 2: We cannot reach where we need to get us a 679 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:32,280 Speaker 2: great nation under God, indivisible unless our major cities changed completely. 680 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 2: What's going on. Let's go to Cleveland speaking about a 681 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 2: major city, Cleveland, and so many others, and we have 682 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,879 Speaker 2: thousands of calls.

And Danny, I'm sorry, Richard, Richard, welcome 685 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 2: to the Bill Cunningham Show. 686 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 3: Richard, how are you? 687 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 4: Thank you? Bill. 688 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 10: It's an honor to speak with you. I think I 689 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 10: couldn't agree with you more. I just want to tell 690 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 10: you that I'm eighty eight years old and I spent 691 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:00,760 Speaker 10: three years in the Army. 692 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 4: I was lucky. 693 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 10: I was in between Korea and Vietnam. Yes, and and 694 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 10: you mentioned before, you know this is a volunteer army 695 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 10: we have today. We don't have a draft, so anybody 696 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 10: in the in the service knows the risks they're taking. 697 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,240 Speaker 10: And it's it's it's not as if they were drafted 698 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 10: that they had no choice. But I'll say I agree 699 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 10: with you. The Democrats, Uh, they hate Trump so much. 700 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 10: And they hate him not because he's evil. They hate 701 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 10: him because he's a threat. And they know if he 702 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 10: if he succeeds in what he's doing right now, that 703 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 10: it's a good chance he can win them in terms. 704 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 3: And they don't want to say. 705 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,240 Speaker 2: The other thing is this, the Democrat and Republican Party 706 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 2: are committed to having candidates start little and get great. 707 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 2: Most of them come vertically. You own a bunch of 708 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,359 Speaker 2: little jobs and go to the top. A lot of 709 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 2: a lot of payments would do a lot of But 710 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 2: Donald Trump came horizontally. And if he can succeed over 711 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,839 Speaker 2: the establishment of Democratic reveloping Party, it demonstrates that they're 712 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 2: more incompetent than we think. Because I look at someone 713 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 2: like Mitch McConnell, for God's sakes, who should not be 714 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 2: in the Senate, and God bless him. He's a babbling 715 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 2: He's a babbling fool at this point, and he's occupying 716 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 2: a seat in the Senate stopping the Save Act from 717 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 2: being passed. And so if an outsider can prove the 718 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 2: political system can't solve problems, but Donald Trump can, then 719 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 2: the system's got problems. 720 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 10: Yeah, I agree with you. You know, I'll tell you 721 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 10: I lost a few Democratic friends that a feel that 722 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,760 Speaker 10: I had, and I told them. 723 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 3: This past year. 724 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 10: I said, if you can look being the eye and 725 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 10: tell me that you're proud to be a member of 726 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 10: the Democratic Party, I hate to tell it. I hate 727 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 10: to tell you, but you're no longer a friend of mine. 728 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 10: That's what I told him. In fact, I lost the 729 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 10: girlfriend because I told her that too. And it's just 730 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 10: I just I just don't know understand it. Well, I 731 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 10: guess I do understand. They want power. The only way 732 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 10: they can get power. 733 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 3: Money in power. They want money and. 734 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 10: Pay and that's why they're against voter I d obviously, 735 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 10: and Trump said it very well. It was crude, but 736 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 10: he said it the truth. He said, anytime, if you 737 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 10: don't want voter ID, you want to cheat. You want 738 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 10: to cheat, and that's the only way you guys can 739 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 10: get elected. 740 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 3: Right. 741 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 2: And also counting your legals as residents instead of American citizens, 742 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 2: And there's about ten to fifteen congressional seats in the 743 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 2: Democratic Party they shouldn't have because of a census that 744 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 2: counts shall we say, residents, and they don't count to citizens. 745 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 2: That's another big problem. 746 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,720 Speaker 10: Yeah, you're right, Bill, I'll tell you you're right on the money. 747 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 10: And you've been around for quite a while, right, I. 748 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 11: Know you're not as old anywhere there as I. 749 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 3: Want to be. 750 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,879 Speaker 2: I want to be.

Is this Bob and 830 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 2: Moscow Russia? 831 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 14: Hello, mister Cunningham, Yes it is. And you talked to 832 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,399 Speaker 14: me about three or four months ago, and he said 833 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,240 Speaker 14: to call back in three to four months. 834 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 3: I did. 835 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm glad I did. Now what do you have now? 836 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 2: Give me the Russian viewpoint of what's happening in Iran. 837 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 14: Well, the Russian viewpoint is going to be the same 838 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,439 Speaker 14: as would do with anything else. It's opposite. And they're 839 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,919 Speaker 14: basically saying, hey, if the United States says, we don't 840 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 14: have a right to protect our sovereign nation by going 841 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 14: into Ukraine, Then why does the United States have the 842 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,720 Speaker 14: right to go in t Iran. So they're basically saying, 843 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 14: if Russia is wrong, then the United States is wrong, 844 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,520 Speaker 14: and they're saying that the United States says they're right, 845 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 14: then the world has to admit that Russia's right for 846 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 14: protecting their own boundaries. 847 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 2: And Bob, I've heard Putin and others say it this way. 848 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 2: Then America had a civil war, and that when the 849 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 2: Democrats in the South said, we don't want to be 850 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 2: Americans anymore, we're separating. We went to war to keep 851 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 2: South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia inside the Republic. And so 852 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,759 Speaker 2: he compares what's happening in Ukraine to our civil war. 853 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 2: Now I reject that completely, but nonetheless, Ukrainian people were 854 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,960 Speaker 2: free of the USSR. They had a treaty with Russia, 855 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,879 Speaker 2: and the treaty with US indicated that if Ukraine gave 856 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 2: up its nuclear weapons, America would defend Ukraine. That was 857 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 2: the deal that was made under President Bill Clinton. 858 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:04,960 Speaker 9: Correctly, right, right. 859 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:10,360 Speaker 14: But correct with one inference. There was also a clause 860 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:16,439 Speaker 14: that the United States would not interfere with or natal 861 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 14: with United States or any NATO country want to interfere. 862 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 9: With the well being of Ukraine. 863 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:22,719 Speaker 7: And when the. 864 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 14: United States infiltrated and helped the overthrow of the Russian 865 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:33,400 Speaker 14: back president, that gave them the excuse for every un 866 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 14: that's happening because the Ukrainian people just didn't one day 867 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 14: some of the people overthrow and throw molotov cocktails and 868 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 14: everything else. You know that, I know that We're not stupid, 869 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 14: You're very smart. Same thing with Iran, what's going on. 870 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 15: It's a Shei she versus she I issue. 871 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 14: It's a a religious division problem as far as I'm concerned, 872 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 14: because before the off fell, the Shehites, the ones living 873 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 14: in poverty. The Shehites were the ones that were taken 874 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 14: advantage of by is she a regime? 875 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 2: Let me ask us, are you an American in Moscow? 876 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 2: Can you speak the truth without fear of being arrested? 877 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 4: Yes? I can. 878 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 3: Why it is. 879 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 14: Because at my age, if they want to arrest the 880 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 14: same thing in the United States, if I want to 881 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:37,240 Speaker 14: go and stand outside a clinic where they're abusing kids 882 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 14: and causing them to change their sex, I might get arrested. 883 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 14: The United States. But it's not going to stop me 884 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,120 Speaker 14: from voicing my opinion saying that is wrong because that's 885 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 14: wrong against my beliefs as a Catholic, it's wrong against 886 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,279 Speaker 14: what God says. And if it is what it is 887 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 14: to be in the end, it's God's path for me. 888 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 14: God will choose what happens for me. 889 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 11: Bob. 890 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,920 Speaker 2: Are you an American in Russia?

It's 941 00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 2: kind of odd to say, but Trump is more popular 942 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:06,319 Speaker 2: now in Venezuela and in Israel, in uh Iran and 943 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,800 Speaker 2: most likely Cuba next Cuba wants to become the fifty 944 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:14,719 Speaker 2: first state. Then Donald Trump is popular in the United 945 00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,520 Speaker 2: States Senate with the Democrats. In fact, the Democrats give 946 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:24,400 Speaker 2: the president about a ten percent approval factor when Venezuelans, Iranians, 947 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:29,879 Speaker 2: Cubans and many others in India, Donald Trump has loved 948 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 2: in India and Pakistan, despite the fact in Karachi our 949 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 2: embassy was sought to be taken over. But guess what 950 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 2: the US Marines now are told in these embassies, shoot 951 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 2: to kill, shoot to kill the protesters. They have a line. 952 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 2: You can't come past that line. If you come past 953 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 2: that line, you get shot. And in Karachi, Pakistan last 954 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,440 Speaker 2: night twenty two were shot. Who thought they could take 955 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 2: over the American embassy in Karachi, Pakistan. 956 00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:02,800 Speaker 3: Well guess what?

James Harson 968 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 2: does not buy into that. James Harson is a cultural 969 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,240 Speaker 2: law and a business expert. A lawyer like myself, also 970 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:51,640 Speaker 2: dabbles in music, which I enjoy, but nonetheless, James Hearson, 971 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 2: welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.

Am I reading that wrong? 979 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 4: No, you're reading it right. 980 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 16: Bill. You know today today on the beaches across southern California, 981 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:30,240 Speaker 16: particularly in Los Angeles, somebody had chartered a plane, a 982 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 16: pretty good sized plane with a giant banner who was 983 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 16: going back and forth across the beach and what it 984 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:44,800 Speaker 16: said was thank you President Trump from the Iranian people. 985 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 4: And so that just gives you. 986 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 16: I mean, this is Southern California, the bluest of the blue, 987 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 16: and you know, somebody put up and I think this 988 00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 16: happened in Los Angeles and New York. There were trucks 989 00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:07,280 Speaker 16: that had pulled up to these designated protests and pulling 990 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 16: preprinted signs out of the back and distributing them to 991 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 16: the And I have to put it in quotes.

They 994 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 16: were mostly retired Caucasians out there, and of course, one 995 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 16: of the retired Caucasians. It brings back old nostalgic memories 996 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 16: for you, Bill was Hanoy Jane Fonda. Somehow they gave her. 997 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 4: I don't know they gave her an invitation. 998 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,400 Speaker 11: But you know, there's an inference when. 999 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,919 Speaker 16: We keep finding out that these are organized, that they're 1000 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 16: not spontaneous, that there's big money behind them, and it's 1001 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,360 Speaker 16: sure appeared like a lot of the people were there 1002 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 16: to bring in a little extra money. 1003 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I call them awful, which is angry 1004 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 2: white female liberals. That the awful element will always be 1005 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,919 Speaker 2: there because they feel as if their miserable lives need 1006 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,960 Speaker 2: some meaning. And most of them, of course are not married, 1007 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 2: don't have children, don't have grandchildren. 1008 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:22,840 Speaker 3: They have some meaning in their life. 1009 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 2: It's rekicking the Vietnam War crowd of some sixty years ago, 1010 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 2: fifty years ago, and they feel emboldened, they feel powerful 1011 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 2: because most of them hate Trump, more than more than 1012 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 2: they love America, And I kind of want you to. 1013 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,080 Speaker 2: I looked at one of your old tweets, going back 1014 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 2: to August sixth of twenty twenty five, not too long ago, 1015 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,439 Speaker 2: you said, quote, if America is to survive as a nation, 1016 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 2: it's important that our people have a more comprehensive, fuller 1017 01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 2: understanding of the hair and dangers of communism. And wouldn't 1018 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 2: the same principles applied to the jihad aspects of Iran, 1019 01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 2: Hesbla hamas a Boca Haram picked pick the Islamic offshoot, 1020 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,880 Speaker 2: that the same principle applies to them as to communism. 1021 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 16: Oh, yes, it does, because they're both totalitarian and nature 1022 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:19,480 Speaker 16: they both are anti Christian and anti Jewish, and they 1023 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,480 Speaker 16: both want to take God out of the public square. 1024 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 16: In the case of course, the islamisis they want to 1025 01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,520 Speaker 16: put their particular view of religion. 1026 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:29,880 Speaker 4: In the public square. 1027 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,680 Speaker 16: But the fact is that so many of these people, 1028 01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:38,240 Speaker 16: they get all of their information from NPR and ms 1029 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:43,960 Speaker 16: NOW and CNN, and they have no idea of what 1030 01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,440 Speaker 16: reality is. I mean, you know, the Democrats are out 1031 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 16: saying that the president's military action in Iran is illegal, 1032 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 16: that it's unconstitutional. And the fact is, and you know 1033 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 16: this because you're a lawyer, though the War Powers Act 1034 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:05,480 Speaker 16: of nineteen seven requires notice, and Marco Rubia was careful 1035 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,600 Speaker 16: to give notice to all. 1036 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 4: Of the Gang of Eight, all of. 1037 01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 16: The members of Congress that have access to classified information. 1038 01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 16: And of course, you know, they did it close as 1039 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:22,760 Speaker 16: close as they could to the actual mission beginning, because 1040 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,440 Speaker 16: we know that if you if. 1041 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,440 Speaker 4: You told many of the. 1042 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 16: Office holders of the Democrat Party and some of the 1043 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 16: Republican Party, they would leak it right and it would 1044 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:42,200 Speaker 16: undermine the mission. And it's critical that there's an element 1045 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 16: of surprise. And I think part of the reason that 1046 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:50,200 Speaker 16: they did it on a Friday night in a joint 1047 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 16: operation with Israel's because Friday nights is the Sabbath and normally, 1048 01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 16: you know, the Jewish people don't engage in this kind 1049 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:05,480 Speaker 16: of activity. And I think it was also Ramadan as well, 1050 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,280 Speaker 16: so they wanted to pick the right time, and they 1051 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:16,160 Speaker 16: also wanted to make sure that their targets, particularly the 1052 01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 16: Supreme Leader. 1053 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:18,320 Speaker 11: And now I. 1054 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,760 Speaker 16: Think the total that we're being told is forty eight 1055 01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 16: high level leaders taken out in the first twenty four hours. 1056 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:32,440 Speaker 16: That's extraordinary. This is the same type of military operation 1057 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 16: that took place in Venezuela. 1058 01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 4: This precision, and I see the mark of Raisin. 1059 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 16: Kane Jim o'caine, because that guy is an amazing military strategist. 1060 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 16: He uses the word from the entertainment field, he uses 1061 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:59,520 Speaker 16: the word rehearsing, and that's what he does. He has 1062 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,480 Speaker 16: run throughs and rehearsals with all of the key players 1063 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 16: on his side where they're going to go, and tries 1064 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 16: to minimize mistakes, which is why during that period of 1065 01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:19,080 Speaker 16: the first initiation of this extraordinary military incursion, there were 1066 01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 16: no casualties on the side of the US. Now there 1067 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:32,000 Speaker 16: are some, but minimal in comparison with the scope of 1068 01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 16: this mission. So you know, there's still a lot of 1069 01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 16: danger and we still have I'm sure weeks to go. 1070 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 16: But the Iranian people, I have an Iranian god daughter, 1071 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:49,920 Speaker 16: I have I guess Iranian family, and I have friends, 1072 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 16: and they are so so grateful, and they are so hopeful. 1073 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 16: For the first time in fifty years, they have hope 1074 01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 16: that just maybe they could get some sort of a 1075 01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:11,880 Speaker 16: new approach in Iran with some semblance of a real 1076 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,960 Speaker 16: sense of freedom and maybe some of the human rights 1077 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,680 Speaker 16: and the horrible treatment of women. 1078 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 11: And isn't it ironic that's the left. 1079 01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:23,400 Speaker 4: Out here in California. 1080 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,920 Speaker 16: Yes, the ones that say they're feminists, the ones that 1081 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:32,120 Speaker 16: say they're for gay people and they're for human rights. 1082 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 16: Here they are taking the side of Iran. 1083 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,440 Speaker 2: I'd like to think it's ignorance rather than artifact. I 1084 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,000 Speaker 2: like to think that the awfuls, the angry white female 1085 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,080 Speaker 2: liberals really understand that they did the same thing in 1086 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 2: Iran or most of the Middle East, that they would 1087 01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:54,160 Speaker 2: be thrown off the top of buildings. It's amazing to 1088 01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,760 Speaker 2: me how women are treated in the Islamic world that 1089 01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 2: the women in American colleges should spend their time protesting 1090 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,760 Speaker 2: the treatment of females in the Islamic world. Whether you're 1091 01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,800 Speaker 2: in Saudi Arabia or Jordan, God help a woman in 1092 01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 2: Iran or Iraq. The Burkas, the general Mutilations, the second 1093 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,360 Speaker 2: class hell, they're fourth class citizens, and they're applauding the 1094 01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 2: efforts of Iran against us, when in reality they would 1095 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 2: be tortured and murdered in Iran. But they're taking the 1096 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 2: side of Iran. In fact, it's fair to say that 1097 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 2: Donald Trump right now is more popular with the people 1098 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 2: of Iran and Venezuela than with the Democratic Party. I 1099 01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,720 Speaker 2: think the Democrats in America give them about a ten 1100 01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,960 Speaker 2: percent approval factor. But right now I'm surprised Gavin Newssen's 1101 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 2: air force did not shoot down that Banner plane and 1102 01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 2: in the beaches of California. But it's amazing that Donald 1103 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,480 Speaker 2: Trump's popular with the people of Iran and the people 1104 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,520 Speaker 2: of Venezuela, just not with Democrats. 1105 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,840 Speaker 16: Yeah, I guess. But there are some people who are 1106 01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 16: registered Democrats who are from Iran and from that region, 1107 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 16: and I think they've become They've been converted, they've been 1108 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:13,120 Speaker 16: won over. There there new members of MAGA, and it's yeah, 1109 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 16: I think it's yeah, yes, exactly. 1110 01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:18,320 Speaker 4: John Fetterman is the one. 1111 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,280 Speaker 16: And and there are some Democrats who are breaking away 1112 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 16: from this ridiculous call, claiming illegality and claiming. 1113 01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,040 Speaker 11: That they have to have an emergency. 1114 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 16: Passing up some resolution uh to curtail President Trump, when 1115 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,960 Speaker 16: in fact, everything he's done has been by the book, 1116 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 16: it's been constitutional, and he's doing what ought to be 1117 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 16: done under the circumstances. And it's something that virtually the 1118 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:55,240 Speaker 16: last half a dozen presidents talked about doing and they 1119 01:07:55,440 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 16: just they didn't have the strength in this outsider spine 1120 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:08,960 Speaker 16: that President Trump has, and he knows there's risks here, 1121 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 16: but he's willing to take the risk considering the potential reward, 1122 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 16: which could be the biggest geopolitical shift since the fall 1123 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 16: of the Berlin. 1124 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:25,240 Speaker 2: Wall and James Herzen the War Powers Act in nineteen 1125 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,639 Speaker 2: seventy three. You might recall that America had enough about 1126 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 2: Vietnam and Cambodia. So the Republicans and the Democrats, mainly 1127 01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 2: the Republicans, I mean, at that point, Nixon had just 1128 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,520 Speaker 2: won forty nine states, and so the Republicans and Democrats 1129 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:43,080 Speaker 2: passed a law resolution that said notified the Congress within 1130 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 2: forty eight hours of the commencement of activities militarily, which 1131 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,760 Speaker 2: of course Rubio has done. And then the President has 1132 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:53,599 Speaker 2: sixty to ninety days to complete the mission, and after 1133 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,760 Speaker 2: that he may have to come back to the Congress 1134 01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,400 Speaker 2: for more actions. So if this thing is still going 1135 01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 2: on in the next three months, I'd be shocked. But 1136 01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:06,880 Speaker 2: he's complied with every aspect of the War Powers Act exactly. 1137 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:12,840 Speaker 16: And somehow, some how, certain media outlets haven't reported that, 1138 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,519 Speaker 16: and they bring on their legal analysts, and the legal 1139 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:20,160 Speaker 16: analyst doesn't report it the way you said it so beautifully. 1140 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:21,000 Speaker 4: They don't. 1141 01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,680 Speaker 16: They don't have so they have to get Bill Cunningham 1142 01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,679 Speaker 16: as a guest on CNN as a legal analyst. 1143 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 2: All I know is the reading the law and interpreting it. 1144 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 2: And I was a very young man at that point. 1145 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 2: But I recall in seventy two, seventy three, seventy four 1146 01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,400 Speaker 2: that is extremely unpopular the Vietnam War, and they passed 1147 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 2: the resolution and Donald Trump's complied, but the letter of 1148 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,920 Speaker 2: the law completely. So when I hear leftists complain about 1149 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,080 Speaker 2: unconstitutional legal a lot of the morning talk shows dealt 1150 01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:50,680 Speaker 2: with that, and I'm thinking, well, what law are you 1151 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 2: reading that I'm not reading now. Secondly, the reason I 1152 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,960 Speaker 2: scheduled a few nights ago, a few days ago, was 1153 01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,000 Speaker 2: to talk about Steve Hilton running for the Congress, I'm sorry, 1154 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 2: running for the governorship of the state of California. And 1155 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 2: you have a beautiful column as to why it might happen. 1156 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,160 Speaker 2: I find it hard to believe that Californias have not 1157 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 2: figured it out yet. Why do you have hope that 1158 01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 2: Steve Hilton can actually win the governorship of the state 1159 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:14,960 Speaker 2: of California. 1160 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,960 Speaker 16: Well, hope is a theological virtue, so we have to 1161 01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:19,639 Speaker 16: have hope. 1162 01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 4: But I'll tell you here's an interesting thing. 1163 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:26,200 Speaker 16: A few days ago, an outfit called the Public Policy 1164 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,400 Speaker 16: Institute of California. 1165 01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:28,920 Speaker 4: Came out with a poll. 1166 01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 9: There are nine. 1167 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:36,440 Speaker 16: Democrats running and two Republicans, and one of the Republicans, 1168 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 16: as you mentioned, is Steve Hilton, former Fox News hosts, 1169 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:45,160 Speaker 16: former advisor to David Cameron, the Prime Minister in England. 1170 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,680 Speaker 11: He has some experience and guess. 1171 01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:53,599 Speaker 16: What, the polls shocked California because there's another Republican by 1172 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,520 Speaker 16: the way, Chad Diancle of the Riverside Sheriff. 1173 01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:56,960 Speaker 4: Is a good guy. 1174 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:02,559 Speaker 16: But right now Hilton and Bianco are in first and 1175 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:07,240 Speaker 16: second place in the poll, and Democrats are freaking out 1176 01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:12,120 Speaker 16: because if all nine of these candidates stay in, they 1177 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 16: may fragment the vote in this jungle primary, and it's 1178 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:22,639 Speaker 16: possible that the first two finishers will end up being 1179 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 16: the candidates in the general election, and California will have 1180 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:31,479 Speaker 16: a GOP governor for sure, because it would be a 1181 01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,280 Speaker 16: GOP candidate versus that's what they're afraid of. So they're 1182 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:40,080 Speaker 16: already pressuring some of the we'll call them the candidates 1183 01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,559 Speaker 16: that don't have as much money. And the candidates here 1184 01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,840 Speaker 16: is like the Star Wars bar saying it is really 1185 01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 16: on the Democrat side. Just unbelievable, you know, Katie Porter, 1186 01:11:54,560 --> 01:12:00,679 Speaker 16: Eric Swallwell to get Antonio via Riaghosa of the former 1187 01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:06,639 Speaker 16: mayor of Los Angeles is there. It's just it's really 1188 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:12,080 Speaker 16: a sad group. And so the tech guys up there 1189 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,720 Speaker 16: in Silicon Valley have taken a guy used to be 1190 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:21,320 Speaker 16: the mayor of San Jose. His name is Matt Mayhan, 1191 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:23,040 Speaker 16: and they're. 1192 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 11: Pushing him with tons of money. 1193 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:29,600 Speaker 16: And and he he's supposed to be a sensible Democrat, 1194 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,880 Speaker 16: he's supposed to be a moderate Democrat, and of course 1195 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,559 Speaker 16: we've been sold that line so many times. 1196 01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:38,840 Speaker 4: But he's gonna have a lot of money. 1197 01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:40,960 Speaker 16: So he's going to end up, I think on the 1198 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:44,759 Speaker 16: Democrat side, you know, Swallowell, because he's gotten. 1199 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:45,280 Speaker 4: A lot of. 1200 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:51,320 Speaker 16: You know, attention, He's gonna get money. Maybe Fang Fang 1201 01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 16: will give him a donation, I don't know. But and 1202 01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,599 Speaker 16: also of course Katie Porter, who's been around a long 1203 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:03,960 Speaker 16: time member of Congress, and she's and these are flawed 1204 01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 16: candidates for sure, and Matt Mayhead has a problem because 1205 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:12,799 Speaker 16: nobody knows who he is. So Steve Hilton is looking. 1206 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 16: He's in a good position, probably the best since Arnold Schwarzenegger, 1207 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:26,880 Speaker 16: to have a shot, and his ideas are very sound. 1208 01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:31,639 Speaker 16: And the thing is, of course, our current governor, who's 1209 01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:35,479 Speaker 16: not never here and doesn't care about governing, has course 1210 01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:40,320 Speaker 16: left a track record that allows Steve Hilton to have 1211 01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,559 Speaker 16: a ton to talk about. 1212 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,680 Speaker 2: Right in one of these studies, I saw, I have 1213 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 2: the list there of the of the most affordable states 1214 01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,599 Speaker 2: and the least affordable states.

And there's one connection. The least affordable 1221 01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:22,280 Speaker 2: states are all Democrats. The most affordable states are all Republican. 1222 01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,519 Speaker 2: So when the Democrats talk about affordability, look in the mayor. 1223 01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:29,479 Speaker 2: Because California is unaffordable.

That's all 1319 01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 7: anyone will ever remember. And I hope that's what they 1320 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,360 Speaker 7: remember the midterms. The only reason I'm not positive about 1321 01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 7: the midterms, even after Trump one big in the State 1322 01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,400 Speaker 7: of the Union, is because, you know, if we don't 1323 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,559 Speaker 7: pass the Save Act, I just believe the cheating will 1324 01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:57,240 Speaker 7: be so bad that there stands a good chance we're 1325 01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:59,679 Speaker 7: gonna lose because historically, you know, the party in power 1326 01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,519 Speaker 7: all loses in the midterms. And then Trump has no 1327 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,720 Speaker 7: power for the last two years. He's basically neutered for 1328 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 7: the last two years, and then if you don't win 1329 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:09,240 Speaker 7: in twenty eight. You know what was Trump four in 1330 01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,200 Speaker 7: twenty four one of the great victories of all time? 1331 01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:11,640 Speaker 7: What was it? 1332 01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:11,920 Speaker 14: For? 1333 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:13,760 Speaker 7: All you got was two years out of it and 1334 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,679 Speaker 7: then nothing else. And then Democrats take control and open 1335 01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 7: the borders again and finally ruined the United States. That's 1336 01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,400 Speaker 7: what we're looking at. And they won't pass the save back. 1337 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,880 Speaker 7: You know, I put out a tweet today and then 1338 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,000 Speaker 7: we'll get to of course we'll get to Iran, because 1339 01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 7: that's the big story of today. But I put out 1340 01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:32,280 Speaker 7: a tweet today about Mitch McConnell because the guy blocking 1341 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,680 Speaker 7: the save back to Mick McConnell. He's also one of 1342 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 7: the four votes against it. He's also, of course, will 1343 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,519 Speaker 7: never go for the you know, kind of the one 1344 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:43,160 Speaker 7: day philibuster. You know, I would go for a full filibuster, 1345 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,320 Speaker 7: gone goodbye, But even like a one day, one issue 1346 01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 7: what they call it a talking filibuster, he won't even 1347 01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:50,720 Speaker 7: do that. And he just doesn't want this thing to 1348 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,960 Speaker 7: even come to a vote. And I just think it's 1349 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,920 Speaker 7: another example. It's just like Bill Clinton, right, Bill Clinton, I. 1350 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:56,799 Speaker 9: Mean Joe Biden. 1351 01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 7: Joe Biden was brain dead he was not really president 1352 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,840 Speaker 7: of the United States. People were covering for him. Other 1353 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:06,200 Speaker 7: people were carrying out his decisions. And it's the same 1354 01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:10,080 Speaker 7: thing with Mitch McConnell. He's clearly weekend at Bernie's. He's 1355 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:13,559 Speaker 7: a brain dead cadaver sitting in a wheelchair. The man 1356 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,599 Speaker 7: is the GOP version of Biden. He needs baby food 1357 01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:20,000 Speaker 7: spoons fed to him and his diapers changed. And someone 1358 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:23,120 Speaker 7: else is voting for him and making his decisions. And 1359 01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,280 Speaker 7: who is it? Is it China and the Chinese Communist Party? 1360 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,240 Speaker 7: Is it the Democrat Party? Is it the Deep State 1361 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,840 Speaker 7: and the CIA? All I know is he no longer 1362 01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 7: has control of his own voting. Clearly, he's a you know, 1363 01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:37,000 Speaker 7: an old man slumped over the wheelchair and he stares 1364 01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 7: blankly into space, and he's dribbling on himself. And these 1365 01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,960 Speaker 7: are the enemies of the United States. Republicans who will 1366 01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 7: not allow the Save Act to be passed because they 1367 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,480 Speaker 7: want to be the minority party and they want Democrats 1368 01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,839 Speaker 7: in control so they can scream all day while they 1369 01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,320 Speaker 7: get all the payments, get all the bribes, get all 1370 01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:57,840 Speaker 7: the campaign cash by screaming all day how terrible Democrats are, 1371 01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 7: but never having power to actually do anything, and Democrats 1372 01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,559 Speaker 7: have all the power. They love that. This is what 1373 01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:07,840 Speaker 7: rhinos and sellouts live for. And Mitch McConnell's a great 1374 01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:10,639 Speaker 7: example that he's not controlled his vote anymore. And your 1375 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:14,760 Speaker 7: future and your kid's future is all being decided by 1376 01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,720 Speaker 7: a man slumped over the wheelchair and people voting for him. 1377 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,400 Speaker 7: It's all a scam. It really is a scam. It's 1378 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,960 Speaker 7: a conspiracy. It is a ripoff of the American people. 1379 01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,800 Speaker 7: It's bad government on both sides, Republican and Democrat. Continuing, 1380 01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,160 Speaker 7: there's nothing more important than passing the SABAC right now. 1381 01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:33,559 Speaker 2: It needs to be passed, and Mitch McConnell, chair of 1382 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,240 Speaker 2: the so called Senate Rules Committee, will not pass it 1383 01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,600 Speaker 2: out of the committee because he is incompetent, mentally and 1384 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,920 Speaker 2: physically incompetent polio victim. He fought famously through all that 1385 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:46,240 Speaker 2: and here at the end of his career he's ruined it. 1386 01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 2: And because of the predilections of Kentucky law, even if 1387 01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,519 Speaker 2: he would step down, it's uncertain who would be appointed. 1388 01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,679 Speaker 2: The Republicans say, you got to choose in these three 1389 01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:58,519 Speaker 2: names in this list. The governor Bischer says, I'm not 1390 01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 2: going to do that, and so in federal court, god 1391 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:04,200 Speaker 2: knows what would happen. But McConnell's ending his career as 1392 01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,599 Speaker 2: igno me as individual that is siding with the most 1393 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 2: liberal parts of the Democrat Party, and not a damn 1394 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,280 Speaker 2: thing get me done. I don't think the save that's 1395 01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,240 Speaker 2: gonna pass, be honest with you because of Mitch McConnell. 1396 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,479 Speaker 2: And imagine, why do we fight so hard. I want 1397 01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,000 Speaker 2: to see some Democrats. I want to see him purp 1398 01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,840 Speaker 2: walked and I want to say back passed. And I 1399 01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 2: fear we're gonna get neither right. 1400 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,320 Speaker 7: And by the way, it's a memorable thing because you 1401 01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 7: know what it reminds me of. It reminds me of 1402 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,400 Speaker 7: the last moment of John McCain's life. Here's a guy 1403 01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 7: that was a war hero. And I was always careful 1404 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,600 Speaker 7: what I said about McCain because whether I agree with 1405 01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:41,599 Speaker 7: them or disagree with him, even if I thought he 1406 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,120 Speaker 7: was a Rhino, he was a great American war hero. 1407 01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:46,599 Speaker 7: You know, people tell me he wasn't such a war hero. 1408 01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:49,120 Speaker 7: He did bad things in Vietnam as a prisoner of war. 1409 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,680 Speaker 7: I don't know if that's true. Any guy who you 1410 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:53,960 Speaker 7: know who literally almost dies for his country and then 1411 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,720 Speaker 7: serves years in prison as a prisoner of war. I 1412 01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,439 Speaker 7: you know, I honor him, I salute him, so that 1413 01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:02,160 Speaker 7: part of his life I loved. But you can't gloss 1414 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,559 Speaker 7: over the fact that at the very end of his life, 1415 01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 7: his last act was to give the middle finger to 1416 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,679 Speaker 7: every person that ever voted for him for thirty years, 1417 01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,160 Speaker 7: everyone who ever elected him to the House and the Senate. 1418 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,160 Speaker 7: You know, their main goal towards the end of his 1419 01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:18,880 Speaker 7: career was to he was going to help overturn Obamacare. 1420 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:22,200 Speaker 7: And because he hated Trump so much, just like Mitch 1421 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,160 Speaker 7: McConnell hates Trump so much, and the deep State hates 1422 01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:28,080 Speaker 7: Trump so much, and China and the CCP hate Trump 1423 01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:31,479 Speaker 7: so much, and the Mexican drug cartel and all of 1424 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,280 Speaker 7: them hate Trump because he gets in the way of 1425 01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:38,200 Speaker 7: them ripping off taxpayers. John McCain's last act was to 1426 01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,680 Speaker 7: put thumbs down to kill Obamacare. So he you know, 1427 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,439 Speaker 7: asked for people's money and ask for people's votes and said, 1428 01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:46,840 Speaker 7: I'm a Republican Conservative and I'm going to kill Obamacare. 1429 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:48,960 Speaker 7: And then at the end, because he hated Trump so much, 1430 01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 7: he literally didn't kill Obama care. He killed the idea 1431 01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:55,800 Speaker 7: of killing Obamacare and kept Obamacare live for the rest 1432 01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,640 Speaker 7: of all time. That was his last act, destroying the 1433 01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 7: healthcare system in the United States, which, by the way, 1434 01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 7: is the whole you know, fifty percent of the whole 1435 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:07,000 Speaker 7: affordability issue in America is medical build and health insurance 1436 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 7: and doctor bills and healthcare, and also the fact that 1437 01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,360 Speaker 7: you wait a long time to see a doctor. Now 1438 01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:14,240 Speaker 7: you can't even get into a doctor in Vegas because 1439 01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,439 Speaker 7: there's so many illegal aliens waiting in line ahead of you. 1440 01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 7: Now you can't even get in. It takes like six 1441 01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,759 Speaker 7: months to see a specialist in Las Vegas. It's becoming 1442 01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:24,479 Speaker 7: as bad as as Canada, England with the government run healthcare. 1443 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:26,920 Speaker 7: You let all these illegals in and they're waiting in line. 1444 01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 7: Thirty million plus illegals are literally, you know, junking up 1445 01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,280 Speaker 7: the system, you know, in front of you. And this 1446 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,600 Speaker 7: is all a disaster. Same number of doctors, but you 1447 01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:39,240 Speaker 7: added thirty million Americans out of the blue when you 1448 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,000 Speaker 7: open the borders. So this is a disaster. And John 1449 01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:44,559 Speaker 7: McCain bears the brunt of it. In the last day 1450 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:46,639 Speaker 7: of his life or last days of his life, this 1451 01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,040 Speaker 7: man turned a trader to everything he ever said he 1452 01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:52,000 Speaker 7: stood for and everything he ever you know, voted for, 1453 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,320 Speaker 7: you know, in the past, he suddenly became a turncoat 1454 01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,439 Speaker 7: to all of it. He's like a Bennet mcdarnold, and 1455 01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:01,080 Speaker 7: and so is Mitch McConnell. Terrible people. And you just wonder, 1456 01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,080 Speaker 7: are they voting for the Chinese Communist Party? Are they 1457 01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:05,640 Speaker 7: voting for China? Are they voting for other enemies the 1458 01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:08,599 Speaker 7: United States Deep State? Or just people that paid them off, 1459 01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,000 Speaker 7: who are billionaire globalists that don't like any of the 1460 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 7: stuff because they get rich of of all the things 1461 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:14,960 Speaker 7: Waiter and Bill cut him hate. 1462 01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:21,120 Speaker 2: Well, uh correct. Getting back to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, 1463 01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,000 Speaker 2: a lot of the commentary indication, even though Komani is 1464 01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 2: with those virgins riding in hell, that somehow there's going 1465 01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:31,560 Speaker 2: to be another Hitler to take over. And there's reporting 1466 01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,880 Speaker 2: that the Trumpster has been touched indirectly or directly with 1467 01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,519 Speaker 2: elements of the regular Iranian army who are not the 1468 01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:42,759 Speaker 2: so called IRGC, and they would like relief, he seemed 1469 01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,000 Speaker 2: to indicated early a few hours ago. The Trumpster did 1470 01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,439 Speaker 2: that he's been in contact with the next leader over 1471 01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:49,599 Speaker 2: that person that could be a hot seat to become 1472 01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,840 Speaker 2: a leader of around at this point, could be a 1473 01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,720 Speaker 2: could be a death sentence. But nonetheless, how do you 1474 01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,840 Speaker 2: see it playing out as far as the next week 1475 01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:01,360 Speaker 2: or two or three, Because at this point the media 1476 01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,679 Speaker 2: is jumping on Trump with both fate every Democrat except Fetterman. 1477 01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,479 Speaker 2: I find myself becoming a fan of John Fetterman, something 1478 01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:10,080 Speaker 2: I thought I would never believe. But nonetheless, how will 1479 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,559 Speaker 2: this play out and the world order goes right? 1480 01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:12,800 Speaker 4: Now? 1481 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,880 Speaker 2: Never has Iran been so weak, as weak and as 1482 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 2: Russia is right now, or maybe communists read China. And 1483 01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,200 Speaker 2: to me, this has been a brilliant political move by 1484 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,240 Speaker 2: the trump Ster. What is Wayne Allen Ruth say? 1485 01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,720 Speaker 7: Well, first of all, John Fetterman should switch over to 1486 01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:28,519 Speaker 7: the Republican Party. 1487 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,200 Speaker 9: That's number one. That's so obvious to me. 1488 01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:33,280 Speaker 7: He's not a Democrat anymore. That's not your father or 1489 01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:36,439 Speaker 7: grandfather's Democrat party. Fetterman is out of touch with him. 1490 01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,240 Speaker 7: He is on our side on so many issues, and 1491 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,559 Speaker 7: it is a good guy. And what's compromise and what's 1492 01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:43,720 Speaker 7: to reach across the aisle? And you can't do that 1493 01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:46,800 Speaker 7: with radical communist You know, wackos who are traders to 1494 01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:49,040 Speaker 7: our country that you saw on display at the State 1495 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:50,639 Speaker 7: of Union. And by the way, that was my commentary 1496 01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,439 Speaker 7: early in the week that that was God versus Satan. 1497 01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,519 Speaker 7: I mean, God gave Trump the right words to out 1498 01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:59,240 Speaker 7: the Democrat Party as the party of Satan. They're like 1499 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:04,240 Speaker 7: demon poss They're crazy. Elan Omar is demon possessed. Rashida 1500 01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:07,840 Speaker 7: Talib is demon possessed. They hate this country and and 1501 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:11,200 Speaker 7: they should be deported, disgusting people. And the whole Democrat 1502 01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,679 Speaker 7: Party is like them. So, I mean, they're really mad. 1503 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:15,960 Speaker 7: For one reason, that's because Trump is stopping them for 1504 01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,719 Speaker 7: ripping off the American people. He's getting in their way, 1505 01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:21,880 Speaker 7: and they don't like that, you know, And so it's 1506 01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:24,519 Speaker 7: it's a real problem. And Federman's a normal guy, and 1507 01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,439 Speaker 7: I think he belongs. He should make the switch to 1508 01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:28,679 Speaker 7: the Republican Party. And that gives us one more senator. 1509 01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:30,599 Speaker 7: He may not be with us one hundred percent of time, 1510 01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:33,400 Speaker 7: but I guarantee you he'd vote with us more than 1511 01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:37,439 Speaker 7: than Murkowski or Collins McConnell. 1512 01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:37,840 Speaker 16: Right. 1513 01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,840 Speaker 7: So, but as far as this Iran look, I think 1514 01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:43,639 Speaker 7: Trump's a genius. 1515 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:44,720 Speaker 15: I think it's fantastic. 1516 01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,040 Speaker 7: Uh. You know, I'm obviously angry at the Tucker Carlson's 1517 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:50,920 Speaker 7: and the Marjorie Taylor Greens and the Canvas Owens. They're 1518 01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:54,599 Speaker 7: not Republicans anymore, they're not mag anymore. They're dividing our party, 1519 01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:57,960 Speaker 7: They're dividing our nation. It's very obvious now, Bill, the 1520 01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 7: enemy of America is not Israel and Jewes. The enemy 1521 01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:05,439 Speaker 7: of America is radicalized Islam and radicalized Muslims in the 1522 01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:09,040 Speaker 7: United States and in Europe pouring cross open borders, and 1523 01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:11,600 Speaker 7: these are people. Look at Austin. I don't know what 1524 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:13,840 Speaker 7: happened in Washington today, there was a mass stamping attack. 1525 01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:15,840 Speaker 7: I don't know if that was related or not, but 1526 01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 7: certainly Austin was Iranian terrorists related. And there will be 1527 01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:23,680 Speaker 7: more because we let in millions under Joe Biden, millions 1528 01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 7: of dangerous people. So there's going to be sleeper cells 1529 01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:28,680 Speaker 7: all over this country and over the next month we 1530 01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:32,320 Speaker 7: will get hit, I'm sure multiple times, and Americans will die. 1531 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,559 Speaker 7: Thanks Joe Biden, Thank his boss, Barack Obama, Thank the 1532 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:39,720 Speaker 7: open borders Democrat party. Trump has done his job. It's 1533 01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:42,960 Speaker 7: not about Iran, it's not about Ran attacking Israel. It's 1534 01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 7: about Iran funding terrorism all around the world for decades now, 1535 01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,200 Speaker 7: causing trouble for American citizens, causing trouble all over the world, 1536 01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:55,120 Speaker 7: and causing trouble for our biggest ally Israel. And you know, 1537 01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:58,160 Speaker 7: the hatred death to America, which is not just the 1538 01:29:58,240 --> 01:30:01,880 Speaker 7: chance that Iran to of their citizens. But if you 1539 01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,519 Speaker 7: saw today at my alma mater, Columbia University, the same 1540 01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:09,600 Speaker 7: group that led the anti Jewish, anti Israel protests, you know, 1541 01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,040 Speaker 7: year and a half ago, whenever that was the pro 1542 01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:16,759 Speaker 7: Palestinian Prohamas protests, that same group put out a tweet 1543 01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,400 Speaker 7: about death to America. These are people that have no 1544 01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 7: right to be in my country or your country, no 1545 01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,559 Speaker 7: right at all. And we need to kick them out 1546 01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:26,720 Speaker 7: of Columbia and kick them out of America and send 1547 01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 7: them back to Gaza or Iran, that's where they belong. 1548 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:32,360 Speaker 7: To drop them into Iran, parachute them. Good luck, good 1549 01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:34,639 Speaker 7: luck to them, their enemies of the United States of America. 1550 01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:35,559 Speaker 9: They don't belong here. 1551 01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:38,559 Speaker 7: So it look Trump is doing a great job. The 1552 01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:42,759 Speaker 7: first day we eliminated Iatola Komani, we eliminated the former president. 1553 01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:47,160 Speaker 7: What is an abdimit I can ever prove yeah, sone, 1554 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:50,040 Speaker 7: he's gone. There's another one of the world's greatest Jew haters, 1555 01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:52,479 Speaker 7: right up there with Hitler who wanted to master every 1556 01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:54,800 Speaker 7: single Jew in the world and eliminate everyone who lives 1557 01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:58,040 Speaker 7: in Israel. That guy was hit and he's dead. Ayatola 1558 01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:01,479 Speaker 7: is dead. Forty eight generals are Israel did a wonderful 1559 01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:04,160 Speaker 7: job somehow getting them all in one place at one 1560 01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:06,600 Speaker 7: time with some sort of message and then dropping a 1561 01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:08,080 Speaker 7: bomb on their heads and killing them all. 1562 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:08,640 Speaker 9: I love it. 1563 01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:12,439 Speaker 7: So look, the world is getting rid of the biggest 1564 01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,680 Speaker 7: problem in the world, but thanks to President Donald J. 1565 01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:18,880 Speaker 7: Trump and America and Israel. So we should be giving 1566 01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:21,840 Speaker 7: a debt of gratitude to all of them, not attacking them. 1567 01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:25,000 Speaker 7: And I just think it's horrible that Tucker Carlson and 1568 01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:28,479 Speaker 7: Candice Owens and Marjorie Taylor Green want to divide our party, 1569 01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:32,680 Speaker 7: divide our country at the same time that Iranian Americans 1570 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:36,679 Speaker 7: and Iranians in Canada are celebrating President Trump in front 1571 01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:40,160 Speaker 7: of massive turnouts of like hundreds of thousands of people 1572 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:44,160 Speaker 7: from Iran that live in America and Toronto, Canada are 1573 01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,519 Speaker 7: out there with signs saying God bless President Trump, we 1574 01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 7: love Christ Trump. They're singing praise to President Trump. And 1575 01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:53,120 Speaker 7: yet and that Tucker Crofton calls evil and disgusting. Tucker 1576 01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:55,760 Speaker 7: Carlson is so off track at this point. He just 1577 01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:58,560 Speaker 7: should not be involved in anything with Mago or the 1578 01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,720 Speaker 7: Republican Party. No one, a no good person, should listen 1579 01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:02,679 Speaker 7: to anything he has to say. 1580 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:04,200 Speaker 3: Tucker's lost his way. 1581 01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:07,240 Speaker 2: But it's kind of the Trumpster's more popular now in 1582 01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:13,599 Speaker 2: Venezuela and Iran with the people than any American's ever been. 1583 01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,720 Speaker 2: So the Democratic Party is against Donald Trump, but the 1584 01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:21,240 Speaker 2: Venezuelans and the Iranian people are with Donald Trump. Along 1585 01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:26,639 Speaker 2: with the so called GCC, which is Oman Aman Kuwait 1586 01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:32,840 Speaker 2: H Cutter, Saudi Arabia, Bach Rain, UAE, they stand with America. 1587 01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:36,560 Speaker 2: So the Arab States are with America, Egypt with America 1588 01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:41,160 Speaker 2: against Iran, which is unbelievable. And the Democratic Party stands 1589 01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:44,240 Speaker 2: in opposition to that. But John Fenderman speaks more like 1590 01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:47,360 Speaker 2: a Republican. Mitch McConnell, I think all Hell's breaking. 1591 01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:50,360 Speaker 7: Is if you said any of this the year ago, right, 1592 01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:53,040 Speaker 7: I love I thought him and I run the same team. 1593 01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:55,160 Speaker 7: If you said any of this to me a year ago, 1594 01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:57,640 Speaker 7: you told me that Marjorie Taylor Green was going to 1595 01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:01,200 Speaker 7: turn against Trump and attack everything he does. That everything now, 1596 01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:03,680 Speaker 7: everything he does is no good. He's not MAGA. You 1597 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:05,720 Speaker 7: know this was not what I signed up for. First 1598 01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:07,120 Speaker 7: of all, let me tell you what you signed up for, 1599 01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 7: Marjorie Taylor Green.

It gave 1609 01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:33,680 Speaker 7: me a lot of publicity, and I set it from 1610 01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,920 Speaker 7: day one to libertarians whose whole goal was to have 1611 01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:39,479 Speaker 7: open borders. Believe or not. Libertaire and Party believed in 1612 01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:42,599 Speaker 7: open borders, and they hated Israel and wanted no foreign 1613 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:45,800 Speaker 7: ad to anyone, especially Israel.

Billy Cunningham in evening you with Wayne Root 1638 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:02,040 Speaker 2: is a good thing. And I know he's particularly angry 1639 01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,799 Speaker 2: about the fact that his alma mater, Columbia University tonight 1640 01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:10,720 Speaker 2: is having protests saying death to America, paid for by 1641 01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:13,840 Speaker 2: the students at Columbia University. Why somebody would send their 1642 01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 2: child there is beyond me. Let's continue with a more 1643 01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:20,320 Speaker 2: lived offbeat. And one of my great heroes growing up 1644 01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:22,920 Speaker 2: a little bit was Larry Bird. In the comments at 1645 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:25,439 Speaker 2: the Heartland et Ceter Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with 1646 01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:37,680 Speaker 2: you and all of the great Americans every Sunday by 1647 01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:40,800 Speaker 2: Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Of course, many many months ago, 1648 01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:42,160 Speaker 2: it might have been as long as a year ago. 1649 01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:45,040 Speaker 2: I had on Keith O'Brien who wrote the definitive work 1650 01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:47,760 Speaker 2: on Pete Rose and Charlie Hustle, and it was a 1651 01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:51,320 Speaker 2: fabulous dissertation of Pete Rose and his life where he 1652 01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:55,080 Speaker 2: came from his relationship with his father Boldface Park, all 1653 01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:58,120 Speaker 2: the way up from nineteen sixty with Tony Perez in 1654 01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:00,920 Speaker 2: New York and playing minor league baseball way through his death. 1655 01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:04,640 Speaker 2: Keith O'Brien is a new book out which is called Heartland. 1656 01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:07,880 Speaker 2: It's about Larry Bird, and it's coming out from March 1657 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:11,840 Speaker 2: Madison More and I am not aware of the research 1658 01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,439 Speaker 2: that Keith O'Brien did on Larry Bird and what it meant. 1659 01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:19,200 Speaker 2: But once again, Keith O'Brien, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. 1660 01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:22,960 Speaker 2: And Keith, first of all, Larry Bird almost didn't happen. 1661 01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:23,839 Speaker 3: Can you relate. 1662 01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:26,120 Speaker 2: First of all, let's go back before that, before he 1663 01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,479 Speaker 2: went to Indiana and did not play for the Hoosiers 1664 01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:31,840 Speaker 2: and Bob Knight. Go back in time to Larry Bird's background, 1665 01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:34,679 Speaker 2: what happened in his early years that made him Larry Bird. 1666 01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:40,519 Speaker 15: So Heartland is an origin story. It's not a souper 1667 01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:44,120 Speaker 15: nuts biography. It's really an origin story of Larry Bird's 1668 01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:48,439 Speaker 15: rise in rural Indiana in the nineteen seventies. This narrative 1669 01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:53,080 Speaker 15: unfold between nineteen seventy three and nineteen seventy nine. Everything 1670 01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:56,400 Speaker 15: after that for me is epilogue in this narrative. And 1671 01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:59,120 Speaker 15: you're absolutely right, Bill, you know, in you know, the 1672 01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:03,800 Speaker 15: early nineteenth Larry Bird very nearly slips away. There is 1673 01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:08,599 Speaker 15: one an alternative reality out there in which we don't 1674 01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:11,479 Speaker 15: know Larry Bird's name, in which he never escapes French Lick, 1675 01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:13,760 Speaker 15: in which he, you know, ends up getting a job 1676 01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:16,519 Speaker 15: as a wood finisher at the Kimball Piano Plant and 1677 01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:19,559 Speaker 15: french Lick, just like his father. You know, uh, you 1678 01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:23,040 Speaker 15: know in yearly seventies, Bird wasn't considered a great star 1679 01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:26,719 Speaker 15: even at his little high school in french Lick, Springs 1680 01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,720 Speaker 15: Valley High School. For the first three years there, he 1681 01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 15: was never the best player on his own team. You know, 1682 01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:35,240 Speaker 15: in that way, he's he's a lot like Pete Rose. 1683 01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:38,360 Speaker 15: But you know, before his senior year of high school, 1684 01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:42,759 Speaker 15: Bird has something happens to Bird that really changes basketball history. 1685 01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:46,400 Speaker 15: He has an enormous gross burt and he grows about 1686 01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:49,479 Speaker 15: three or four inches in a span of several months. 1687 01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:52,920 Speaker 15: And you know this, this growthsburg, you know, puts him 1688 01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:57,800 Speaker 15: on the radar of at least Midwestern college recruiters. And 1689 01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:00,519 Speaker 15: so you know, in that winter of seven twenty three 1690 01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 15: seventy four, you know, school's like Louisville, University of Cincinnati, 1691 01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:11,320 Speaker 15: Purdue Indiana, Miami of Ohio. They're taking a look at 1692 01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:14,920 Speaker 15: at Larry Bird. They're going to games at Springs Valleys, 1693 01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:19,639 Speaker 15: and as you indicated BYRD, ultimately does sign and agree 1694 01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:23,200 Speaker 15: to go to school at Indiana and play for Bobby Knight. 1695 01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:25,080 Speaker 15: But it doesn't go well there? 1696 01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:26,320 Speaker 3: Why didn't he go? 1697 01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:28,639 Speaker 2: Because I would think looking back in time, and I've 1698 01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,719 Speaker 2: seen Bobby Knight give interviews before his passing. Of course, 1699 01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:34,600 Speaker 2: in fact, he barely knew the guy. He said, he 1700 01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:37,920 Speaker 2: had an odd name, he didn't look right. He's an 1701 01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:40,720 Speaker 2: ugly guy, and he was tall and gangly, and his 1702 01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:43,679 Speaker 2: name was Bird, and he didn't stand out at all. 1703 01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:47,000 Speaker 2: Why did he not stand out in Indiana? Why didn't 1704 01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:49,519 Speaker 2: Robert Montgomery Knight pick up on this talent which he 1705 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:52,880 Speaker 2: missed completely? And why didn't he and Knight get along 1706 01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:54,840 Speaker 2: at all? 1707 01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:55,120 Speaker 8: Well? 1708 01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:58,160 Speaker 15: I think it's two reasons. Number one in Knight's defense. 1709 01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:00,880 Speaker 15: You know, in the spring, it's seventy four when he 1710 01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:04,200 Speaker 15: signs Bird. You know, I mentioned there was some Midwestern 1711 01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:06,360 Speaker 15: schools that were recruiting him, but a lot of schools 1712 01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:10,160 Speaker 15: are peeling away and not interested. University of Kentucky Joby 1713 01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:13,120 Speaker 15: Hall was interested in BYRD for a while, then decides 1714 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:15,680 Speaker 15: he's not good enough, he's not fast enough, he's not 1715 01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:19,600 Speaker 15: quick enough to play in sec basketball. So, you know, 1716 01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:23,000 Speaker 15: schools are falling away and in the voters, the high 1717 01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:26,280 Speaker 15: school polsters in Indiana and the spring of seventy four 1718 01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:29,599 Speaker 15: don't consider Bird a top fifteen player. I mean, think 1719 01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:32,840 Speaker 15: about that for a second. According to the AP voters 1720 01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:35,000 Speaker 15: in Indiana and the spring of seventy four, there are 1721 01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,040 Speaker 15: at least fifteen players who are better than Larry Bird. 1722 01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:41,960 Speaker 15: So Knight signs him, but he's not excited about him, 1723 01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:45,120 Speaker 15: and you're right, he doesn't know him. And this is 1724 01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:48,320 Speaker 15: something that I think is specific tonight. You know, when 1725 01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:51,559 Speaker 15: Bird shows up on campus there in Bloomington in August 1726 01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:55,720 Speaker 15: nineteen seventy four, that's a really great team. Who's your 1727 01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:59,720 Speaker 15: basketball team. It's already there at Assembly Hall. This is 1728 01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:04,439 Speaker 15: Quinn Buckner, Scott may Ken, Benson. You know without Bird, 1729 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:07,600 Speaker 15: without him, they're going to have an undefeated season. In 1730 01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:10,640 Speaker 15: one year later, they're going to have a stretch of 1731 01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:14,120 Speaker 15: basketball where the Hoosiers win like sixty five games and 1732 01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:17,160 Speaker 15: lose one over the span of two years. So they 1733 01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:20,679 Speaker 15: don't really need Bird. And Knight doesn't know him at all. 1734 01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:24,000 Speaker 15: And you know, when Bird arrived on campus, you know, 1735 01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:28,200 Speaker 15: he's a sensitive young man. He's a troubled young man 1736 01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:31,880 Speaker 15: coming from an impoverished home. You know, he really needs 1737 01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:35,840 Speaker 15: more than what Night is giving. And based on my reporting, 1738 01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:39,400 Speaker 15: you know he Bird is just not treated well by 1739 01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,920 Speaker 15: members of that team. You know, they take his ball 1740 01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:45,840 Speaker 15: at the pickup games, they don't pass the ball to him, 1741 01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:49,120 Speaker 15: they don't sometimes play him in the games. And you know, 1742 01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:52,559 Speaker 15: I interviewed one student manager who told me he had 1743 01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:56,120 Speaker 15: a vivid memory of the last game the Bird ever played, 1744 01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:59,200 Speaker 15: the last pickup game that he played in September seventy four, 1745 01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:01,520 Speaker 15: and at the end of the game, Bird was complaining 1746 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:03,920 Speaker 15: because they weren't passing to him, or they hadn't played 1747 01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:05,880 Speaker 15: him at all. And one of the players, the who's 1748 01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,320 Speaker 15: your players in the locker room, looked at Bird and said, 1749 01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:12,200 Speaker 15: tell me again where you're from. And the point was clear. 1750 01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,960 Speaker 15: You know, Bird was a nobody. He was from nowhere. 1751 01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,519 Speaker 15: And you know, based on my reporting, that was the 1752 01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:20,360 Speaker 15: last game that Bird played at French at Bloomington, and 1753 01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:22,960 Speaker 15: he hitchhikes home to French Lick within hours. 1754 01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:25,960 Speaker 2: We'll get to that up part in a moment. I 1755 01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:29,519 Speaker 2: know Bird's father killed himself, and you talk about Bird 1756 01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:34,120 Speaker 2: being troubled. Explained the troubling aspects of Larry Bird's life 1757 01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:35,400 Speaker 2: before he got to Indiana. 1758 01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:40,960 Speaker 15: I mean, you know, his parents are divorced. French Lake 1759 01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:44,840 Speaker 15: at the time is an impoverished town. Bird's home is 1760 01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:49,400 Speaker 15: impoverished as well. Larry's father is, you know, is an 1761 01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:53,439 Speaker 15: alcoholic and has been for years. You know, in the 1762 01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:57,519 Speaker 15: winter in which he leaves Bloomington and hitchhikes home to 1763 01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:01,160 Speaker 15: French Lick, Larry's dad will kill him self. And you know, 1764 01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:04,760 Speaker 15: these days, Bill, you know, we have a word for that, 1765 01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:08,639 Speaker 15: especially when it comes to kids. It's a trauma. 1766 01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:09,439 Speaker 4: You know, a. 1767 01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,680 Speaker 15: Suicide is a trauma and a family and unfortunately, all 1768 01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:16,080 Speaker 15: too many families out there know that. But in nineteen 1769 01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:19,960 Speaker 15: seventy four, seventy five, it wasn't treated like that. It 1770 01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:21,439 Speaker 15: certainly wasn't treated like that. 1771 01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:21,800 Speaker 4: You know. 1772 01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:25,439 Speaker 15: For in French Lick, with Larry Bird's family, you know, 1773 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,920 Speaker 15: he has to almost soldier on alone, you know, burying 1774 01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:34,559 Speaker 15: this enormous grief, this enormous trauma, and in a lot 1775 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,360 Speaker 15: of ways, you know, that will define him in the 1776 01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:40,840 Speaker 15: years to come, for reasons that are easy to understand now, 1777 01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:44,799 Speaker 15: but I think at the time we're much harder to understand. 1778 01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:48,320 Speaker 2: I can imagine that locker room nineteen seventy sixty, who's 1779 01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:52,960 Speaker 2: your team on? Undefeated, untied, unscored on last undefeated champion, 1780 01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:55,519 Speaker 2: maybe never to be repeated. Look around a locker room, 1781 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:58,240 Speaker 2: Miss Quinn Buckner and Scott May. They're looking down there 1782 01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:01,360 Speaker 2: and see this tall, skinny, ugly guy named Larry Bird. 1783 01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:03,479 Speaker 2: Who the hell do you think you are? If somebody 1784 01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:05,599 Speaker 2: had told that group at that point Larry Bird might 1785 01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:08,400 Speaker 2: have been the greatest basketball player of all time? What 1786 01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:10,840 Speaker 2: would Bob What would Robert Montgomery might have. 1787 01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:11,320 Speaker 3: Said about that? 1788 01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:13,080 Speaker 2: If somebody tapped him on his shoulder and say, see 1789 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,360 Speaker 2: that guy sitting over there, that's the player of the 1790 01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:20,400 Speaker 2: nineteen eighties, That's the three time Boston Celtics champion, that's 1791 01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,439 Speaker 2: the three time MVP. That is the most respected and 1792 01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:26,640 Speaker 2: loved basketball player maybe at the last half of the 1793 01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:29,720 Speaker 2: twentieth century. What would Knight have said about that? 1794 01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:31,400 Speaker 3: Who that guy? 1795 01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,559 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, he wouldn't He wouldn't have believed it. I mean, listen, 1796 01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:39,720 Speaker 15: you know, Bobby Knight is himself a basketball icon, an 1797 01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:44,200 Speaker 15: Indiana icon, and a flawed American icon. But one thing 1798 01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:47,120 Speaker 15: that Bobby Knight was He's confident in his own abilities, 1799 01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:50,880 Speaker 15: for better or for worse. Sometimes I confidence helped him, 1800 01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:54,360 Speaker 15: sometimes it hurt him, and it did hurt him when 1801 01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:56,960 Speaker 15: it came to Larry Bird, but again in Defensive Knights 1802 01:43:57,040 --> 01:44:00,479 Speaker 15: from moments. You know, nobody in the fall of seventy 1803 01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:03,000 Speaker 15: four thought Bird was going to be any of those 1804 01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,920 Speaker 15: things that you just listed. And in fact, when he 1805 01:44:06,040 --> 01:44:08,960 Speaker 15: leaves Bloomington and hitchhikes home to french Lick, just to 1806 01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:11,759 Speaker 15: give you a sense of how others felt about Bird, 1807 01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:16,360 Speaker 15: only one story, only one story, is written about Bird 1808 01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:20,000 Speaker 15: leaving Indiana. It's written by the Bloomington Herald telephone, the 1809 01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:24,040 Speaker 15: local paper. No one cares, No one cares that this 1810 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,680 Speaker 15: guy is left. And in that winter of seventy four 1811 01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:29,360 Speaker 15: seventy five, when he's returned home to french Lick, when 1812 01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:32,280 Speaker 15: he gets that job collecting trash for the town, when 1813 01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:35,840 Speaker 15: his father, you know, kills himself in that tragic way. 1814 01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:39,680 Speaker 15: You know, Bird isn't you know, on anyone's radar. He 1815 01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:43,439 Speaker 15: has literally slipped to the edge of the basketball map. 1816 01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:48,679 Speaker 15: He is playing pickup basketball glorified, you know, over thirty 1817 01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:52,240 Speaker 15: men pick up basketball with guys who have day jobs 1818 01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:56,280 Speaker 15: and wives and children. In the scant stories that are 1819 01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:59,479 Speaker 15: written about Bird in this winter, you know, covering these 1820 01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:03,240 Speaker 15: aims and will be called the Industrial League. The newspapers 1821 01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:05,920 Speaker 15: can't and spelled bird name right, they spell it b 1822 01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:09,640 Speaker 15: A I R D very Baird. They don't know who 1823 01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:13,759 Speaker 15: he is, and so you know, he really is flipping 1824 01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:17,040 Speaker 15: away and we're not for a man named Bill Hodges 1825 01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:21,920 Speaker 15: down on his luck. Assistant coach at Indiana states, it's 1826 01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:25,519 Speaker 15: very possible that we don't know the name Larry Bird. 1827 01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:28,519 Speaker 15: It's very possible that bird doesn't ever leave French Lick again. 1828 01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:31,519 Speaker 2: So Keith o' brownie, let me get this right. He's 1829 01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:37,160 Speaker 2: his scholarship to the Hoosiers. He fails miserably, he's ignored 1830 01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:43,880 Speaker 2: by Bob Knight. He hitchhikes from Bloomington to Indiana State 1831 01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:46,559 Speaker 2: to French Lick, which has got to be a haul. 1832 01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:50,120 Speaker 2: It's a couple hundred miles and there's no direct interstate. 1833 01:45:50,240 --> 01:45:54,639 Speaker 2: So there in September of seventy four is Larry Bird 1834 01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:58,280 Speaker 2: with his thumb out going from Bloomington to French Lick. 1835 01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:00,320 Speaker 3: Do I have that right? And now he's a garbage man, 1836 01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:01,960 Speaker 3: literally a garbage man. 1837 01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,040 Speaker 9: You have that right? 1838 01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:04,479 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1839 01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:07,040 Speaker 15: In that winter of seventy four seventy five, I call 1840 01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:10,160 Speaker 15: it so the Winter of Larry Bird's discontent. You know, 1841 01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:14,599 Speaker 15: he briefly plays for a vocational school, plays basketball at 1842 01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,320 Speaker 15: a vocational school. I don't mean community college, I don't 1843 01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:20,040 Speaker 15: mean a JUCO program. He plays for a place called 1844 01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:25,160 Speaker 15: Northwood Institute, which is essentially a small two hundred student 1845 01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:29,559 Speaker 15: vocational school in West Baden, Indiana. He quits that team too, Bill, 1846 01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:32,600 Speaker 15: and then he gets that job hauling trash. You know, 1847 01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:35,840 Speaker 15: his father kills himself shortly after that. Bird is now 1848 01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:38,519 Speaker 15: playing in that men's league that I mentioned. And in 1849 01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,880 Speaker 15: April seventy five, you know, at that moment, you know, 1850 01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:45,519 Speaker 15: at that moment when he's disappearing, Bill Hodges, his coached 1851 01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:49,080 Speaker 15: Indiana State, decides to drift down to French Lick and 1852 01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:52,559 Speaker 15: see if he can find Larry Bird. Bill Hodges has 1853 01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:56,519 Speaker 15: seen Bird play twice in high school, only twice. But 1854 01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:59,759 Speaker 15: he's wondering what he's doing now. And you know, Bill, 1855 01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:02,519 Speaker 15: you know, drives down from Terahoe to French Like that's 1856 01:47:02,520 --> 01:47:04,639 Speaker 15: about a two and a half hour drive in nineteen 1857 01:47:04,720 --> 01:47:08,000 Speaker 15: seventy five, and he can't find him. He has to 1858 01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:11,559 Speaker 15: drive around town looking for Bird, and when he does, 1859 01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:15,880 Speaker 15: you know, Bird again basically states directly to Hodges' face, 1860 01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:19,200 Speaker 15: he has no interest in returning to college, and actually 1861 01:47:19,560 --> 01:47:21,880 Speaker 15: Bird tells Hodges that day that there's a couple other 1862 01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:24,719 Speaker 15: guys in town that maybe he should look at instead. 1863 01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:26,759 Speaker 9: But you know, Bill. 1864 01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:30,280 Speaker 15: Hodges is a lot like Larry you know, he's from 1865 01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:33,519 Speaker 15: rural Indiana. He's he knows what it's like to be poor. 1866 01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:36,120 Speaker 15: He knows what it's like to be overlooked, he knows 1867 01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:39,200 Speaker 15: what it's like to bail Hay and milk cows and 1868 01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:43,559 Speaker 15: Hodges and Bird connect and it's really Bill Hodges. It's 1869 01:47:43,880 --> 01:47:48,000 Speaker 15: again down on his luck, journeyman assistant coach who connects 1870 01:47:48,040 --> 01:47:51,799 Speaker 15: with Bird and coaxes him, you know, away from the brink, 1871 01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:55,320 Speaker 15: away from the void and back to college. And I 1872 01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:58,080 Speaker 15: mean it Bill. Were it not for Bill Hodges, I 1873 01:47:58,080 --> 01:47:59,960 Speaker 15: think it's very likely. We don't know where. 1874 01:48:01,120 --> 01:48:04,560 Speaker 2: Four years later, Indiana State, I think the Sycamores is 1875 01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:08,040 Speaker 2: that correct. Indiana State is playing in the National Championship 1876 01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:12,880 Speaker 2: game against Magic Johnson, Irvin Magic Johnson, Michigan State. And 1877 01:48:13,360 --> 01:48:17,920 Speaker 2: those four years, Larry Bird went from a disgraced, ugly, 1878 01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:22,640 Speaker 2: six foot nine inch garbage man playing recreational basketball to 1879 01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:27,160 Speaker 2: being the player of the year leading Indiana State undefeated. 1880 01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:31,479 Speaker 2: They lost the national Championship game to Magic Johnson's Michigan 1881 01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:34,519 Speaker 2: State team, and that from that point on, shall we 1882 01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:37,400 Speaker 2: say he became Larry Bird. And you're saying, without that coach, 1883 01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:40,360 Speaker 2: how many Americans right now are down to their dumps, 1884 01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:42,000 Speaker 2: not feeling good about themselves? 1885 01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:42,680 Speaker 3: Woe is me. 1886 01:48:43,320 --> 01:48:45,519 Speaker 2: I'm not sure you get lower than what Larry Bird 1887 01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:48,800 Speaker 2: was in nineteen seventy five, in April in nineteen seventy five, 1888 01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:51,000 Speaker 2: but four years later he's a National Player of the Year. 1889 01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:55,280 Speaker 2: And then he goes to the Boston Celtics and at 1890 01:48:55,280 --> 01:48:58,240 Speaker 2: that point rent ourback maneuver to get Larry Bird. He 1891 01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:01,840 Speaker 2: saw something in Bird that others did because Bird wasn't quick, 1892 01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,280 Speaker 2: he didn't run fast, he wasn't quick, he wasn't fast, 1893 01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:08,000 Speaker 2: and he couldn't jump. So in the NBA, if you're 1894 01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:10,400 Speaker 2: not very quick, and you're not very fast and you 1895 01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:12,920 Speaker 2: can't jump, what are the odds of you making it? 1896 01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:18,040 Speaker 15: I mean really low? And and you make a great point. 1897 01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:19,960 Speaker 15: You make a great point, though, I mean, I think 1898 01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:24,439 Speaker 15: Larry Bird is one of the great American understories, full 1899 01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:29,040 Speaker 15: underdog stories, full stop. I don't mean great underdog sports stories, 1900 01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:32,360 Speaker 15: but great underdog stories. You know you're you're absolutely right, 1901 01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:34,080 Speaker 15: you know he is at a point in time where 1902 01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:37,120 Speaker 15: he is he is drifting away. He is lost, he 1903 01:49:37,240 --> 01:49:40,120 Speaker 15: is nearly gone, you know, struggling with all the things 1904 01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:44,240 Speaker 15: we've discussed, and and and he is, you know, really saved. 1905 01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:47,400 Speaker 15: But once he once he iss bucks back from the brink, 1906 01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:51,240 Speaker 15: he makes the most of that opportunity. And in this way, 1907 01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:53,519 Speaker 15: you know, I do think Larry Bird and Pete Rose, 1908 01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:56,240 Speaker 15: you know, are similar. You know, they worked for what 1909 01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:59,960 Speaker 15: they got. They they they were dedicated to their sport, 1910 01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:02,880 Speaker 15: for the nature of the sport. You know, Pete Rose 1911 01:50:03,040 --> 01:50:06,120 Speaker 15: loves hitting for the sake of hitting. You know, Pete 1912 01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:09,600 Speaker 15: would live in the batting cage before and after games, 1913 01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:12,519 Speaker 15: even after he was the star, because he loved it. 1914 01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,280 Speaker 15: He wanted he wanted to get better at it. Bird 1915 01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:18,479 Speaker 15: did the same. He lived on the basketball court before 1916 01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:21,000 Speaker 15: and after games all the time. I mean, when he 1917 01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:23,559 Speaker 15: goes to front, when he goes to Terre Haute in 1918 01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:26,840 Speaker 15: the summer of seventy five, you know, based on my reporting, 1919 01:50:27,240 --> 01:50:30,280 Speaker 15: he lived in the boys club there, you know, where 1920 01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:33,200 Speaker 15: he gets the key and is able to shoot baskets, 1921 01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:36,519 Speaker 15: you know, at his heart's content, deep into the night. 1922 01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:37,439 Speaker 14: You know. 1923 01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:40,479 Speaker 15: You know, these guys, you know, work for what they get, 1924 01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:44,120 Speaker 15: they pull themselves up. And you know, Red r Bachs 1925 01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:48,080 Speaker 15: sees something in Bird. You know, it's like the opposite 1926 01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:51,080 Speaker 15: of Bobby Knight. You know, Red r Bachs sees it, 1927 01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:54,439 Speaker 15: and he says out loud, you know, one he drafts 1928 01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:57,000 Speaker 15: him one year before he's able to play at the 1929 01:50:57,080 --> 01:51:00,360 Speaker 15: time NBA. NBA teams held the rights to play for 1930 01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:03,479 Speaker 15: one year if you drafted them, and so our back 1931 01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:06,680 Speaker 15: drafts him in seventy eight, stashes in the leg. And 1932 01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:09,120 Speaker 15: it's all about very smartly said. And I think there's 1933 01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:11,360 Speaker 15: a lesson in life, a lesson in business for this. 1934 01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:12,800 Speaker 15: And I'm parapraising here. 1935 01:51:13,240 --> 01:51:13,880 Speaker 14: Arbuck says. 1936 01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:17,679 Speaker 15: A year goes by faster than you think, and one 1937 01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:19,720 Speaker 15: year from now a lot of people are going to 1938 01:51:19,760 --> 01:51:22,240 Speaker 15: be kicking themselves that they didn't take a chance on 1939 01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:22,960 Speaker 15: Larry Bird. 1940 01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:25,400 Speaker 3: And our box is right. 1941 01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:28,080 Speaker 2: Ah, Billy Cunningham, the great American, thank you for listening tonight. 1942 01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:31,840 Speaker 2: Especially love the comments of one Wayne Allen Root to 1943 01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:35,400 Speaker 2: set the record straight about the goals and the admiration 1944 01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:37,240 Speaker 2: all of us have for the president to have any 1945 01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:42,639 Speaker 2: common sense. Lot of the Democrats wish America ill instead 1946 01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:45,479 Speaker 2: of running their own parts of the country. Well, some 1947 01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:48,640 Speaker 2: of the worst places that live in America are in California, 1948 01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:54,320 Speaker 2: New York City, Chicago, take any major city, and I've 1949 01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:56,599 Speaker 2: shared my thoughts with you repeatedly, and that is this 1950 01:51:57,320 --> 01:52:01,760 Speaker 2: that America will never realize its greatest post potential if 1951 01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:07,599 Speaker 2: our major cities are in collapse economically, financially, job wise, 1952 01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:11,799 Speaker 2: middle class values not being implemented in terrible public schools. 1953 01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:14,960 Speaker 2: And so I would hope that the Democrats who complain 1954 01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:19,439 Speaker 2: about the activities of others, specifically Donald Trump, would first 1955 01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:22,200 Speaker 2: of all, get their own house in order. Imagine if 1956 01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:26,719 Speaker 2: New York, Chicago, and LA the three largest American cities, 1957 01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:30,320 Speaker 2: were functional. Imagine if they could protect their citizens from crime. 1958 01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:33,960 Speaker 2: Imagine if they had functional public schools and large numbers 1959 01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:37,720 Speaker 2: of middle class jobs and low taxes. Does that describe Chicago, 1960 01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:40,439 Speaker 2: New York, Los Angeles and add in the next ten 1961 01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:43,680 Speaker 2: The answer is no. So I want the Democrats who 1962 01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,320 Speaker 2: complain so often about the behavior of others to get 1963 01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:48,519 Speaker 2: their own house in order before they complain about what 1964 01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,519 Speaker 2: the other side is or is not doing. And if 1965 01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:55,360 Speaker 2: you root against America, ultimately going to lose. And I 1966 01:52:55,360 --> 01:52:58,519 Speaker 2: hope the American people understand that there is an historical 1967 01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:02,400 Speaker 2: transformational President. Trump's going to be up there with Washington 1968 01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:06,920 Speaker 2: and Jefferson and Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight D. 1969 01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:10,720 Speaker 2: Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan as great United States presidents if 1970 01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:16,080 Speaker 2: these ventures succeed. If they don't, history will condemn him. If, 1971 01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:19,280 Speaker 2: on the other hand, he succeeds, guess what, the historians 1972 01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:22,320 Speaker 2: will still condemn him. But you and I know that 1973 01:53:22,360 --> 01:53:25,960 Speaker 2: they're wrong. Thanks for listening, and next Sunday Night will 1974 01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:28,599 Speaker 2: continue the coverage of the war in Iran. May God 1975 01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:31,080 Speaker 2: bless the American soldier, sailor and the airmen who keep 1976 01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:34,439 Speaker 2: America safe. Bill Cunningham, the great American, Proud to be 1977 01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:37,960 Speaker 2: with you. Bill Cunningham, the Great American, with you every 1978 01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:38,559 Speaker 2: Sunday Night,
