Speaker 1: Billy Cunningham, the Great America work on this Friday afternoon
Speaker 1: in the tri State fifty thousand watch but sounded like
Speaker 1: a million. And I have some announcement to make later
Speaker 1: on about yours truly, and we'll deal with that later.
Speaker 1: But first of all, we have many fallouts from the
Speaker 1: last few days about what happening in Providence and what
Speaker 1: happened in Massachusetts, mit, etc. Plus we have sometime around
Speaker 1: three o'clock today supposedly the Epstein files are going to
Speaker 1: be released, at least those not redacted. We've got that
Speaker 1: going on, and more so, joining you nine now is
Speaker 1: the great Leland Vitter. The main character, the main host
Speaker 1: on News Nation is Leland Vitter. I'm promoting you and
Speaker 1: Leland welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And I
Speaker 1: like to think this is a great year for Leland Vitter.
Speaker 1: Number one, you have a new bride and number two
Speaker 1: a best selling book. So what do you think about
Speaker 1: this year from a personal perspective?
Speaker 2: Well, I am blessed and as you, as you pointed out,
Speaker 2: got married, have a new nephew, my parents' first grandchild
Speaker 2: came and Rachel somehow had been completely flummixed and totally
Speaker 2: disregarded both her better judgment and everyone's advice and actually
Speaker 2: walked down the aisle in June. And then, as you noted,
Speaker 2: Born Lucky, my book about growing up with autism and
Speaker 2: my dad's adapting me to the world has done well.
Speaker 2: I think the best part of Born Lucky, really, and
Speaker 2: I think the part of it this year that's been
Speaker 2: the best is helping so many people. You know, we
Speaker 2: say Born Lucky is hope for every parent of a
Speaker 2: kid having a hard time, and that has proven out
Speaker 2: by the hundreds of letters that I have gotten from
Speaker 2: families not just of kids with autism, but ADHD, anxiety,
Speaker 2: difficulties with bullying, all sorts of different things who said
Speaker 2: that Born Lucky really gives.
Speaker 3: Them this real sense of hope.
Speaker 2: And I think it's why it's taken off, why it's
Speaker 2: been such a huge Christmas gift, because there's so many
Speaker 2: families who are looking to realize that they're they're not alone,
Speaker 2: and that is the Born Lucky story.
Speaker 1: Something just clicked in my mind, which occurs now and then,
Speaker 1: is that having autism and you still have it and
Speaker 1: uh being so successful. I'm thinking about Minneapolis, Minnesota, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about a program there made up by Tim
Speaker 1: Waltz and others to assist specifically Somali kids with autism,
Speaker 1: which is needed. And then they have that program looted
Speaker 1: by criminals who are buying villas in Spain. Fancy joins
Speaker 1: fancy food to loot the money intended for kids with autism.
Speaker 1: How did that strike your heart?
Speaker 3: Offensive but unsurprising.
Speaker 2: And the therapy that was used in the fraud right
Speaker 2: was called ABA therapy is highly effective and it's by
Speaker 2: far the best thing that can happen for kids in
Speaker 2: The idea that at the Somali community figured out basically
Speaker 2: how to fake a massive number of autism diagnosies and
Speaker 2: then not give the services obviously to the kids who
Speaker 2: had had fake diagnoses, but also to the kids who
Speaker 2: had real diagnosises.
Speaker 3: Is just offensive at so many levels.
Speaker 2: I think it's unsurprising, but it goes to the level
Speaker 2: of suicidal empathy that I think we are seeing as
Speaker 2: it relates, especially in Minnesota, but also around the rest
Speaker 2: of America. When it comes to the broader threat of
Speaker 2: radical Islam or of just Islam itself into the United States,
Speaker 2: I think we're going to look forward to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: One of the big stories and through lines is going
Speaker 2: to be the rise of the threat of jihad in
Speaker 2: America and the rise of the incompatibility.
Speaker 3: Of Islamists and Islam with Western values.
Speaker 1: But he was intended for the best purposes. Tim Waltz
Speaker 1: is going to run for a third term. I think
Speaker 1: it's likely he'll win because if you're a Democrat in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: that's ten amount to being re elected. And now he's
Speaker 1: going to be the policeman. Well before he was kind
Speaker 1: of a Putts and allowed to happen because you can't
Speaker 1: win in Minnesota, I'm told by talk show hosts of
Speaker 1: Minneapolis unless you have the support of the Somali community
Speaker 1: who vote in block So there might be about ninety
Speaker 1: five thousand Somalis, there's about forty thousand that vote, and
Speaker 1: if you begin the election forty thousand to zero against
Speaker 1: your opponent, that's the way to get elected. In fact,
Speaker 1: they pander so much that the mayor, guy named Fry
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis has begun to learn Somali so that he
Speaker 1: can speak to Somalis in Somali. That's the pandering. And
Speaker 1: you use the term suicidal empathy, and I see that
Speaker 1: almost everywhere in the SNAP program, et cetera. And I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: somehow will Minnesota's buy the idea that Tim Waltz is
Speaker 1: really serious about cracking down on fry. That might be
Speaker 1: I've seen reporting with you between one and three billion dollars,
Speaker 1: which in Minnesota is a huge amount of money, and
Speaker 1: the FEDS paid for a chunk of that too, and
Speaker 1: it must be stopped. And if not, and you talk
Speaker 1: about g had And I watched your interview the other
Speaker 1: night with Debbie Wasserman Schultz Schultz, she's a Florida congresswoman,
Speaker 1: and you asked her a good question, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: a congressman, she's leader of the Democratic Party, how much
Speaker 1: of a threat in America? How big of a threat
Speaker 1: is jihad? We see it happening out all over the world,
Speaker 1: that this Christmas marks and Mars and Europe shutting down.
Speaker 1: That I guess Paris is not going to have a
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve celebration this year because of the threat
Speaker 1: of terrorism, not from Catholics, I might add the threat
Speaker 1: of terrorism from Islamist And she had a startling answer
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is going to damage America more than
Speaker 1: Islamic terrorist. And you were stunned and you push back.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if that's the minds of the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: she's one of the leaders. You would never work with
Speaker 1: someone who's worse than an Islamic terrorist that killed innocent
Speaker 1: people in Australia, your comments, you.
Speaker 3: Are seeing a situation where.
Speaker 2: Western way of life, and by that I mean liberal
Speaker 2: democracy in the classical sense, not liberal democrat or republican liberal,
Speaker 2: is under threat by the rise of Islam.
Speaker 3: And we're seeing it in Western Europe, you know.
Speaker 2: To the point is you pointed out where Christmas markets
Speaker 2: are now being closed or having to have barricades around them,
Speaker 2: or being drowned out by the call to prayer, where
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve celebrations are being canceled. So rather than
Speaker 2: protect against the threat of terrorism, or to kick out
Speaker 2: the people who would be terrorists or to arrest them,
Speaker 2: Titians in western countries Europe and Australia are capitulating and
Speaker 2: are are are are so afraid of being called Islamophobic
Speaker 2: or not bowing to the needs of.
Speaker 3: The few, of the of.
Speaker 2: The Muslims, that they are willing to transform the life
Speaker 2: of the many.
Speaker 3: And you could say it'll never come to let me
Speaker 3: tell you it can and it will.
Speaker 2: And you're seeing you're seeing the little tiny flippers of
Speaker 2: it in places like you're born, Michigan.
Speaker 3: You're seeing little.
Speaker 2: Tiny slippers of it in places in Texas where where
Speaker 2: groups are trying to do this, where the where the Islamist.
Speaker 3: Community there is trying.
Speaker 2: To supersede Western values with Islamist values. And that, by
Speaker 2: the way, is what the Quran says to do. And
Speaker 2: anybody who wants to have a debate about this with me,
Speaker 2: bring it on. Spent four years in the Middle East,
Speaker 2: interviewed a lotogy hotties in my time, when people tell
Speaker 2: you who they are, if people show.
Speaker 3: You who they are, you should believe them.
Speaker 2: And when you don't, you do so at great risk
Speaker 2: to yourself.
Speaker 3: And that's what's happening.
Speaker 1: They compare it to church bells ringing before Mass, which
Speaker 1: is the call to prayer. In dearborn, Michigan. We have
Speaker 1: the new mayor of New York City, Mamdani, who will
Speaker 1: not criticize globalizing the Intafada. He beats around the bush there.
Speaker 1: He runs around with the worst elements of Islam. And
Speaker 1: I would add that Cincinnati and other great cities have
Speaker 1: a lot of Musques around at Toledo, Ohio, for example,
Speaker 1: as a large one. There's a large branch of Islam
Speaker 1: that is extremely violent, treating Jews and Catholics and Christians
Speaker 1: and Americans like mice and cockroaches. There's another branch of
Speaker 1: that tree where the word Islam is peace, wanting to
Speaker 1: live with others. Have you noticed that American Muslims living
Speaker 1: in peaceful conditions with families and work and businesses are
Speaker 1: not speaking up. There's no leader of Islam like there's
Speaker 1: a pope, like a pope and a cardinal or whatever.
Speaker 1: And have you seen circumstances or Islamic leaders speak up
Speaker 1: and say that's not us. Have you seen that?
Speaker 2: Right that? That is the issue here right in? What
Speaker 2: you are seeing is the quote unquote moderate parts of
Speaker 2: Islam not speak up and not police their own And
Speaker 2: that is the really dangerous change.
Speaker 3: And you know what you want to call it Islam
Speaker 3: and peaceful religion, there's an argument to be made for that.
Speaker 2: But then those who preach peace must stand up to
Speaker 2: those who preach hate, and they must turn them in
Speaker 2: and they must call them out.
Speaker 3: And that is not happening.
Speaker 2: And you know, you come to you know I think
Speaker 2: about this as my grandparents who came came to America.
Speaker 2: You come to America because you want to embrace American values,
Speaker 2: not because you want to bring your values here. And
Speaker 2: what we're seeing, especially.
Speaker 3: In the Somali community in Minneapolis.
Speaker 2: Is groups people who are bringing their values to America
Speaker 2: and saying America must adapt to us. Yeah, that's not
Speaker 2: how this deal works. And if we allow that to happen,
Speaker 2: you are going to have the same thing here that
Speaker 2: you have in Sydney, Australia, where there are large parts
Speaker 2: of the city that have turned into little Damascus, no
Speaker 2: different than places in the United Kingdom that feel much
Speaker 2: more like you know, Islamabad than they do, like Birmingham,
Speaker 2: and where Islamic values are effectively viewed as replacing Western law.
Speaker 2: And that is a extraordinarily dangerous thing because of what again,
Speaker 2: separate any individual Muslim of whom I have friends and
Speaker 2: of whom I think many are wonderful people, from the
Speaker 2: values of Islam, from Mohammedism. And there's a big difference.
Speaker 2: And I think we are finally now starting to be
Speaker 2: able to have an honest conversation about whether or not
Speaker 2: Islam is compatible with Western values, and the answer really
Speaker 2: is that in let that no one of them is
Speaker 2: going to have to adapt, and that is a real problem.
Speaker 1: There are Brits in England that are arrested at three
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning in their homes by London police
Speaker 1: if they post something online against the Islam religion. Are saying,
Speaker 1: why are we doing this? It's not hate speech. They're
Speaker 1: criticizing the practices that they see in their hometowns in
Speaker 1: London and England, and they're arrested by the police in
Speaker 1: their homes at three am and put in jail many
Speaker 1: times for months until they until they reckon order their opinions.
Speaker 2: So it's unbelievable if you or I said in the
Speaker 2: United Kingdom what we are saying right now, if we
Speaker 2: said what we are just said on the radio online,
Speaker 2: we would be arrested in the United Kingdom, we would
Speaker 2: this would be considered anti social behavior to say what
Speaker 2: we have just said. In America has to be honest
Speaker 2: with itself about if that's where we want to go.
Speaker 1: No, well we have to fight. Minneapolis is at the
Speaker 1: breaking point, I think. But you know, we live in
Speaker 1: a republic who with democratic overturns and the people of
Speaker 1: Minnesota have got to say this is not going to
Speaker 1: become the Islamic Republic of Minnesota. And if Tim Waltz
Speaker 1: gets re elected, if Fry gets reelected, Keith Ellison, the
Speaker 1: AG gets reelected, well that's what you get. And it
Speaker 1: is sick. I often say, we get the government we
Speaker 1: deserve and the times that concerns me greatly. Now secondly,
Speaker 1: I mentioned this earlier at three o'clock Eastern time today,
Speaker 1: In about three hours, they're going to release the Epstein files. Man,
Speaker 1: I share with you one thought of mine on that matter. Please,
Speaker 1: I'm watching. It was either you or it might have
Speaker 1: been I might have been a CNN. It's been about
Speaker 1: four or five months, and they had on one of
Speaker 1: the US attorneys from the Southern District of New York
Speaker 1: who in seventeen, eighteen and nineteen thoroughly investigated the Epstein
Speaker 1: matter because they assumed, like I assume, like I assume
Speaker 1: you assume. I can't assume what you assume, but I assume.
Speaker 1: And Tony Bender assumed that there's all these important guys
Speaker 1: from Bill Gates to Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, does this
Speaker 1: name the person Wechner, etc. That had sex with teenage
Speaker 1: girls inappropriately. There's no inappropriate sex with the teenage girl,
Speaker 1: and I assume that even sitting here, I guess that's
Speaker 1: the case. However, may I use the term? For eighteen
Speaker 1: months to two years? The US Attorney Southern District of
Speaker 1: New York perceived as the best law enforcement agency in
Speaker 1: the country by themselves, they said. This US attorney who
Speaker 1: worked on those cases said, of course, I can't speak
Speaker 1: about grand jury matters, but he said that everyone that
Speaker 1: could be criminally indicted in this, and that entire Epstein
Speaker 1: matter was, which was Jeffrey Epstein and Glainne Maxwell. So
Speaker 1: I'm watching this and the interviewer said, would you say
Speaker 1: that again? Everyone? He said, everyone who criminally is liable
Speaker 1: in our opinion probable cause has been indicted. And if
Speaker 1: that's the case, Leland vinter are we going to learn it?
Speaker 1: And this will be kept alive for a long time
Speaker 1: because it politically benefits some. Is it possible that the
Speaker 1: men whose photos ninety five thousand photos released, all these
Speaker 1: famous famous guys, that none of them engaged in sex
Speaker 1: with teenage girls or in a situation where a young
Speaker 1: woman was sexually traffic Because if that was the case,
Speaker 1: one of the members of that office was James Comy's daughter,
Speaker 1: the one who hated Trump. They wanted to get him,
Speaker 1: They wanted to get everybody involved. Is it possible, There's
Speaker 1: no there, there is that possible.
Speaker 3: Of course it's possible.
Speaker 2: And there's also a middle ground. Bill, there's a middle
Speaker 2: ground that there is no there there. I don't believe
Speaker 2: there is that there there when it comes to Trump, because,
Speaker 2: as you point out, I think if there was a
Speaker 2: number of different DJs and prosecutors would.
Speaker 3: Have gone there and right.
Speaker 2: But there is a there is a middle ground here,
Speaker 2: which is that there were men who perhaps were not
Speaker 2: trafficked underapemen, but who were perhaps at the island or
Speaker 2: in other places and engaged in behavior that may not
Speaker 2: have been criminal, but may have been really icky and awful.
Speaker 2: They have gotten the past, and I think the best
Speaker 2: journalist on this is a woman named Tara Palmery, and
Speaker 2: she has pointed out that in the depositions of these
Speaker 2: alleged victims that there have been other names that have
Speaker 2: been mentioned, and there have been other names that have
Speaker 2: been mentioned as men who had sex with them.
Speaker 3: Now, were they under age at.
Speaker 2: The time, That that is a different story, but it
Speaker 2: is very clear that there was a lot of other
Speaker 2: things going on, and you know, now again, and I
Speaker 2: think what the US Attorneys of the district in New
Speaker 2: York setting where I think what's really important is everybody
Speaker 2: that we could prosecute we did, Yeah, which means everybody
Speaker 2: that we could prove guilty.
Speaker 3: Beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speaker 2: And that's that's a very different standard than is this
Speaker 2: person a good person? Right?
Speaker 3: Yeap?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like those are different things.
Speaker 1: I like your use of the ikey shuffle. You know,
Speaker 1: we think of ikey woulds, but it's ikey to have
Speaker 1: a sixty five year old guy having sex with a
Speaker 1: twenty two year old woman's but it's not criminal unless
Speaker 1: she was trafficked. Well, look, we got to run, but
Speaker 1: born Lucky's still out.
Speaker 2: There that happy no merry Christmas.
Speaker 1: Well, we deal with the news, and we take the
Speaker 1: news as it comes, and I hope we have a
Speaker 1: successful twenty twenty six. Keep doing what you're doing. I
Speaker 1: love our relationship. We've met I think one time at
Speaker 1: a place in Naples called Old Old Collier, and I
Speaker 1: hope to see you again down there at some point.
Speaker 1: But let's keep it going. I love the term I
Speaker 1: may take it from you. Suicidal empathy. That's a great
Speaker 1: term to describe what's happening in America. But Leland, give
Speaker 1: my best to Rachel and all your family, and may
Speaker 1: God bless you. God bless America, and to you and
Speaker 1: yours Leland, Merry Christmas, Thank you, Bill, God bless you.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more and that could be the case.
Speaker 1: And of course the women. There have been dozens and
Speaker 1: dozens of class action lawsuits, tens of millions of dollars
Speaker 1: paid out to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein from insurance companies, banks,
Speaker 1: and brokerage firms. And I'm saying, well, they were paid
Speaker 1: financially for the injuries inflicted upon them, and that's a
Speaker 1: good thing. So let's continue with more news. Next your
Speaker 1: Home of the Bengals News Radio seven hundred ought by
Speaker 1: Billy Cunningham Dave Keaton hit the music That's All good.
Speaker 1: I followed this thing in Rhode Island in Massachusetts, as
Speaker 1: I like to do anyway, and it was amazing. Who
Speaker 1: kind of broke the deal, broke the case wide open.
Speaker 1: It was a homeless guy named John who lived in
Speaker 1: the basement of the building where his two students were
Speaker 1: murdered in cold blood. So I read about John, I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: how in the hell is John involved in it? He
Speaker 1: was the second photo of the guy walking around with
Speaker 1: bushy eyebrows, and I thought, Okay, how's John involved in
Speaker 1: this case? And the answer is the police thought that
Speaker 1: that guy, whoever that guy was named John by the way,
Speaker 1: might have seen the murderer and might have seen the
Speaker 1: vehicle in which he pulled away from the scene in
Speaker 1: and so the homeless guy, first name is John, as
Speaker 1: a graduate of Brown University, appears to be about thirty
Speaker 1: five years old. He's homeless, he's drug addicted, and he
Speaker 1: lives in the basement of the building where the murderer entered.
Speaker 1: Who was here, by the way, on the kindness of
Speaker 1: our hearts as a diverse city visa recipient. That's another issue.
Speaker 1: We'll talk talk about that later. The homeless guy told
Speaker 1: police when he stepped forward, you might recall the authorities.
Speaker 1: The DEI authorities in Rhode Island and Massachusetts put out
Speaker 1: a photo of this guy, the witness, so to speak,
Speaker 1: saying if you know this person, or if you are
Speaker 1: this person, please come forward. So he walked up yesterday
Speaker 1: afternoon to two police officers in Providence and said, I
Speaker 1: think that's me, and the cops looked at him and said,
Speaker 1: that's you. So they took him into headquarters and the
Speaker 1: homeless guy, John, a proud graduate of Brown University, told
Speaker 1: the police that he sleeps in the basement of Holly Hall,
Speaker 1: which is the building in which the murders took place.
Speaker 1: And he told them earlier in the day, just before
Speaker 1: the shooting, he said, he saw someone that looks suspicious
Speaker 1: in the basement area of that building where he was sleeping.
Speaker 1: And so John, the homeless guy, you talk about how
Speaker 1: unusual things that her in life. All the FBI, the CIA,
Speaker 1: the Marshall Service, all the police, state police, it was
Speaker 1: a homeless guy that broke the case. And he told
Speaker 1: them that he approached the subject because he didn't fit in.
Speaker 1: He looked a little bit unusual, wasn't a student, so
Speaker 1: to speak. And he said, I saw him walk toward
Speaker 1: his car unlock it with a key fob, and uh,
Speaker 1: the murderer noticed a homeless guy, fortunately didn't kill him,
Speaker 1: and he got into the key fob and at that point,
Speaker 1: he said, he told the police. He told the police,
Speaker 1: I want you to look for a gray Nissan with
Speaker 1: Florida plates, probably a rental. Aren't too many Florida plates
Speaker 1: and Rhode Island, by the way, except for rental cards,
Speaker 1: and went on to say, I think he might have
Speaker 1: been involved because he used a key fob to open
Speaker 1: the car. He looks a little suspicious to me. And
Speaker 1: when I kind of followed him out, he kind of
Speaker 1: walked away a little more quickly. He unlocked the car,
Speaker 1: and he said, I found an odd that when he
Speaker 1: circled the block in the car, that's when I saw
Speaker 1: the Florida plates. That started to unravel the entire case
Speaker 1: for the homeless guy named John who broke this thing
Speaker 1: wide open. So two things come to mind. The FBI
Speaker 1: had posted a fifty thousand dollars reward for information leading
Speaker 1: to the arrest and or apprehension of the murderer who
Speaker 1: was here. Sh I was saying, a green card, and
Speaker 1: he's going to get the fifty thousand dollars. Hope he
Speaker 1: uses it well, I might say. And he also the
Speaker 1: police were asking the question, why are you living in
Speaker 1: the basement? He said, I have nowhere to live, and
Speaker 1: I can walk into cafeterias and get fed. And it
Speaker 1: was cold, and normally I live outside, but Rhode Island
Speaker 1: that time of the year is cold. In fact, the
Speaker 1: next day it snowed like hell. So talk about the
Speaker 1: twist and turns such as the guard of Abraham Lincoln
Speaker 1: outside of his private box at the Fort Theater just
Speaker 1: happened to leave to get a beer next door. Or
Speaker 1: Lee Harvey Oswald, the mother in law he was living with.
Speaker 1: The mother in law, she told Lee Harvey ols, you
Speaker 1: got to get them. You have to work. And so
Speaker 1: a friend to his I don't know how friends said
Speaker 1: that the Texas Cool Book Depository is hiring try there.
Speaker 1: So they hired his two facilities, one in fort Worth,
Speaker 1: one in Dallas, and he was assigned to work in
Speaker 1: fort Worth, but a week before they had a pregnant
Speaker 1: and see as someone on leaving, somebody else quit, so
Speaker 1: the foreman and fort Worth transferred him to Dallas, Texas
Speaker 1: School Book Depository. The rest is history. Despite all the
Speaker 1: thousands of man hours, all the money spent, it was
Speaker 1: a homeless guy named John who broke the case wide open.
Speaker 1: Likely is going to get the fifty thousand dollars. Now,
Speaker 1: on another matter, I looked into this a little bit.
Speaker 1: How do you get one of these diversity visas to
Speaker 1: come into the country, and how are these people selected?
Speaker 1: And last night I spoke to a friendly FBI agent
Speaker 1: who explained it to me a little bit how you
Speaker 1: get these things. But essentially you go into some lottery
Speaker 1: system and in response to that, the if your number
Speaker 1: comes up, you get entry into the United States of
Speaker 1: America for reasons unclear to anyone. When this came out,
Speaker 1: the Christy Noan put out the following message. The Brown
Speaker 1: University shooter, Plaudio Manuel Nevez Valenti entered the through the
Speaker 1: Diversity Lottery Immigrant Visa program dv ones they're called in
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen and was granted a green card. He'd been
Speaker 1: here before the murderer in like two thousand, two thousand
Speaker 1: and one, and he went through it. He might have
Speaker 1: it's unclear at this point where he spent the intervening
Speaker 1: fifteen years between two thousand and three and twenty and seventeen,
Speaker 1: other than the fact he's a Portuguese citizen. But we
Speaker 1: have this system in which you can apply in your
Speaker 1: home country. There's a quota system for Portugal and if
Speaker 1: your number comes up, guess what you got? The golden
Speaker 1: ticket coming to America, and Christy Noom went on to
Speaker 1: say that this heinous individual should never have been allowed
Speaker 1: in our country. Amen. And this happened during the first
Speaker 1: year of the Trumpet administration. And I'm sure those involved
Speaker 1: in the Trumpet administration had no idea about the diversity
Speaker 1: green card system. Well, now, because of the generosity that
Speaker 1: we have for others, by the way, generosity is going
Speaker 1: to kill us at some point. Because of that, that
Speaker 1: mister of Valente was permitted an entry in the US
Speaker 1: and the rest is history. That particular program now has
Speaker 1: been stopped, it's been delayed, and analyze how does this
Speaker 1: stuff happen? Why does it occur? But a homeless guy
Speaker 1: named John solved the Brown University case and many are asking,
Speaker 1: including the parents of students at Brown University. By the way,
Speaker 1: they recruited me to play basketball there, but that's another story.
Speaker 1: How did they not know that the homeless are living
Speaker 1: and university facilities and walking around. And by the way,
Speaker 1: John has some drug problems and mental health difficulties and
Speaker 1: in and around the students. And John, I don't know
Speaker 1: how he gets some money. I'm sure he's on a
Speaker 1: disability program. But university may want to look into that,
Speaker 1: just to see what the hell's going on around this place.
Speaker 1: Be more follow up. I mentioned this to Leland Vedder
Speaker 1: and others that I kind of suspect this could be
Speaker 1: a Ted Kazinski situation where this guy who was brilliant Valente,
Speaker 1: brilliant physicist, was in Portugal seemingly ran into the MIT
Speaker 1: professor twenty seven years ago when they were students together
Speaker 1: together at a university in Portugal, and he might have
Speaker 1: known obviously he knew the guy and targeted him, and
Speaker 1: then he picked a building on campus at Brown University
Speaker 1: to kill. Why he picked Brown University, no one knows,
Speaker 1: No one knows, don't know, But he picked the physics building.
Speaker 1: So the connection is a failed physics student attacking and killing,
Speaker 1: shooting eleven people two or dead because they were in
Speaker 1: a physics class, and then he sought out a physics
Speaker 1: professor to kill an MIT that he may have known
Speaker 1: twenty six years earlier. Over the few weeks, will learn more.
Speaker 1: That's what we know at this point. But a homeless
Speaker 1: guy broke the case for the FBI, and now he's
Speaker 1: likely to get to get the fifty thousand dollars reward.
Speaker 1: We will move on to the next situation. Secondly, with
Speaker 1: leland Vinter, he brought up the idea. And by the way,
Speaker 1: leland Vinter, I've only met him twice, talked to him
Speaker 1: quite often as a good man, a good guy, spent
Speaker 1: four years in the Middle East, a long time in
Speaker 1: the Middle East covering Middle Easian stories. And when he
Speaker 1: says that we got a problem and it could ruin
Speaker 1: Western civilization, he is absolutely correct, because the great majority
Speaker 1: of Muslims in this country, there's about five million, have
Speaker 1: nothing to do with jihadism, have nothing to do with extremism,
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with killing men, women and children.
Speaker 1: The list of Islamic attacks in America and throughout the
Speaker 1: world are incredible. One estimate is at least a half
Speaker 1: a million have been killed by islam make extremism in
Speaker 1: this century, and the great majority killed, by the way,
Speaker 1: are fellow Muslims. They kill you. For example, in the Gaza,
Speaker 1: you might recall there were thousands of Gazans protesting against
Speaker 1: Hamas as their so called representative that they elected democratically
Speaker 1: to represent them. Having watched it for a while, they
Speaker 1: want them out of it completely. And so when these
Speaker 1: protests started, the Hamas. The Hamas murderers took the leadership
Speaker 1: out of the peace movement in Gaza, hung them up
Speaker 1: by their feet, beat them to death in a public square,
Speaker 1: and shot them and bled them out like pigs on
Speaker 1: the ground. The message was sent, if you oppose us,
Speaker 1: you're an apostate, you will be murdered. And so the
Speaker 1: peace movement in Gaza didn't get off the ground. As
Speaker 1: Leland Viddert said that if he and I were in London,
Speaker 1: and if Leland Vindert said the things he said about
Speaker 1: Muslims in London, he would be and put in jail
Speaker 1: for up to seven years because of his opinions. You
Speaker 1: can't get elected in Minneapolis, Minnesota unless you're endorsed by
Speaker 1: the Somalis who are largely ripping off and looting the
Speaker 1: US treasury. They rewarded our generosity with theft, and we're
Speaker 1: at a tipping point. Give you some more facts and figures. Egyptians,
Speaker 1: the last poll was taken in twenty thirteen, because it's
Speaker 1: dangerous to take a poll anywhere in Egypt if you
Speaker 1: get the wrong result. How about this, ninety percent of Egyptians.
Speaker 1: This is not Amos terrorists, but Egyptians say that if
Speaker 1: a Muslim leaves the faith and converts to some other
Speaker 1: religion or simply becomes an atheist, ninety percent believed that
Speaker 1: that Muslim should be killed. Forthwith that, ninety five percent
Speaker 1: believed that Sharia law should be imposed in Egypt, in fact,
Speaker 1: in the United States of America, in which Sharia determine
Speaker 1: the outcome of any dispute of any type. Ninety five
Speaker 1: percent of the girls in Egypt are sexually mutilated today
Speaker 1: when they have their first period or before that, the
Speaker 1: mother and the aunties get together and a ritual and
Speaker 1: sexually conduct some sort of klitterectomy that sexually mutilates girls
Speaker 1: in Egypt and girls at the ages of seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 1: and ten. Muhammad himself had at wives that were seven
Speaker 1: eight years old. That the girls who do not consent
Speaker 1: to being sold or being conveyed to an older man
Speaker 1: a temporary wife, shall we say, by their fathers, could
Speaker 1: have acid thrown in their face. So we're dealing with
Speaker 1: a little bit something different than American values, would you agree?
Speaker 1: And so it's being incorporated into the United States. It
Speaker 1: can't happen here. I know it can't happen here. Who
Speaker 1: was just elected the mayor of New York City. Which
Speaker 1: political party dominates the state of Minnesota. Oh, you got
Speaker 1: your answers, plus fifty one Muslims, we're elected to political office.
Speaker 1: Inside of America, great majority of whom believe in globalizing
Speaker 1: the into fada, such as in Australia, globalize the Intafada.
Speaker 1: What it can't happen here, absolutely fool it can Now.
Speaker 1: We do, have, of course, the First Amendment. We do
Speaker 1: have freedom of speech, but what good is it if
Speaker 1: the fear of speaking is so great you lose your
Speaker 1: life for your job. So when Leland Vindert says, don't
Speaker 1: let this happen in America, he knows exactly what he's
Speaker 1: talking about. So let's continue with more. By the way,
Speaker 1: this is my last show of the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: We'll talk further about the future later and we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens down the road. And coming up after one o'clock,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call Steve Gorm. We've had some conversions when
Speaker 1: it comes to climatology, you know, garbage in, garbage out.
Speaker 1: The great majority of young folks believe the climate is
Speaker 1: about to wither away and die because they've been told
Speaker 1: that for years, and we have a guest on and
Speaker 1: give you some facts. I think Bill Gates have seen
Speaker 1: the light. He's seen the Promised Land, and he's flipped.
Speaker 1: And hopefully American can save itself. But morally and ethically
Speaker 1: we're in trouble, great trouble. The average American female produces
Speaker 1: one point six babies per female, and that female must
Speaker 1: produce two point one to stay even with population. We're
Speaker 1: in a falling population situation. Not as bad as Japan,
Speaker 1: which is zero point eight per female, not as bad
Speaker 1: as other Western European countries that are one point four.
Speaker 1: But the average Muslim female has five children. And we
Speaker 1: are a democracy within a republic after all. Put that
Speaker 1: in your pipe and smoke it for the future. I't's
Speaker 1: continue with more bline becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand, twelve fifty five Home of Your Bengals News
Speaker 1: Radio seven hundred wut of you build?
Speaker 3: Cunning?
Speaker 1: In the Great American Verse. One thing we share is
Speaker 1: the weather and the climate meteorology, et cetera. One of
Speaker 1: the good things is that the federal government's not hired
Speaker 1: back about four thousand meteorologists. Is if we need more
Speaker 1: weather reports. Every time you watch television any extent, it's
Speaker 1: nothing but an extended weather report. I know what the
Speaker 1: weather is going to be. But one thing I hate
Speaker 1: to always say that things are terrible, things are awful,
Speaker 1: Things can't get any worse. Every now and then I
Speaker 1: see the green sprouts of an April day with the
Speaker 1: truth bursting forward about the green energy movement. What it's
Speaker 1: cost us is literally trillions of dollars resulting in nothing.
Speaker 1: I think Shakespeare said sound and fury signifying nothing, and
Speaker 1: all the times of al Gore, etc. Is now crashing.
Speaker 1: And of course Steve Gorm is one of the apostles
Speaker 1: of a not agreeing demand made climate change to a
Speaker 1: significant extent, and his new book Out has been out
Speaker 1: for a while, is knocking him to green breakdown the
Speaker 1: coming renewable energy failure which is happening, but the Democrats
Speaker 1: are not giving up. Steve Gorm once again, welcome to
Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, Steve, Merry
Speaker 1: Christmas and happy New Year.
Speaker 4: Hey Bill, Merry Christmas, is having New Year. I've never
Speaker 4: been called an apostle before, so thanks.
Speaker 1: Well, well, I mean it's like you know, I've been
Speaker 1: doing this for years, and I'm thinking maybe what we're
Speaker 1: saying is breaking through, and that is that the climate
Speaker 1: is always changing. It will always change. So the argument
Speaker 1: is climate is changing one of the answers, Yes, but
Speaker 1: man made climate change is a completely different matter. But
Speaker 1: talk about several issues. Bill Gates, for example, has now
Speaker 1: seen the lights, seeing the promised Land, and he's kind
Speaker 1: of rejected the idea of climate catastrophes, and that's made
Speaker 1: the liberals quite unhappy. They're going after Bill Gates hard
Speaker 1: about net zero, etc. Explain the conversion to the American
Speaker 1: people about Bill Gates.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this was really quite a turnaround. Mister Gates, as
Speaker 4: you know, as one of the wealthiest men in the world.
Speaker 4: I think he's worth more than one hundred billion dollars
Speaker 4: and he's had foundations that have been contributing billions of
Speaker 4: dollars for years and years to try and fight global
Speaker 4: warming and reduce emissions. He wrote a book in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty one that was titled How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.
Speaker 3: But just two weeks before.
Speaker 4: The Climate conference in Billiem, Brazil, he came out and
Speaker 4: sent a memo to the UN Climate Conference, also put
Speaker 4: on his website and he took a different point of
Speaker 4: view on many things. Some of the things he said, quote,
Speaker 4: climate change is a serious problem, but it will not
Speaker 4: be the end of civilization. Secondly, he said to quote, unfortunately,
Speaker 4: the doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community
Speaker 4: to focus too much on near terms mission, near term
Speaker 4: emissions goals. And then he also concluded with quote, our
Speaker 4: chief goal should be to prevent suffering, particularly for those
Speaker 4: in the toughest conditions, who live in the world's poorest countries.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Wow, And this is this is just a big, big
Speaker 4: change for mister Gates. This is very sensible and and
Speaker 4: and I think he was the press attacked him and
Speaker 4: many of the climatists, and the press said, you know
Speaker 4: what's he's saying. And then the the climate realists the
Speaker 4: skeptics said, you know, welcome to the sensible side of
Speaker 4: the street. So really a big, a big, big change.
Speaker 1: I mean, Donald Trump is the instigator of much of this,
Speaker 1: because he also believes it's a hoax. He said, it's
Speaker 1: a hoax. I'd love the speech at the UN about
Speaker 1: four or five months ago, in which he stood up
Speaker 1: at the United Nations, looked them all in the eye
Speaker 1: and said this is a hoax. And I can imagine
Speaker 1: the puckering because you have to hold certain opinions to
Speaker 1: get paid. And when you paid for poverty, you get
Speaker 1: more poverty. When you pay to hold an opinion and
Speaker 1: get studies and jobs, etc. From it, you better stay
Speaker 1: on the company line. And therefore the liberals et cetera. No,
Speaker 1: you have to hold one definitive opinion in order to
Speaker 1: get paid, and the liberals after money like anyone else.
Speaker 1: And one thing you point out is that during winter
Speaker 1: it gets a little cold at times. And Cincinnati's had
Speaker 1: some record snowfall in December. And here we are winter.
Speaker 1: We're at the doorstep of winter. And this every time
Speaker 1: it's hot or cold, windy, or still dry or wet,
Speaker 1: it's always climate change. It's pounded into your head. Is
Speaker 1: America experience saying a severe cold winter right now, which
Speaker 1: is so unusual, and these temperatures are due, of course,
Speaker 1: the human cause climate change is that bs.
Speaker 3: Well, we have a it is a little bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a good old fashioned, really cold winter.
Speaker 4: I'm in Chicago. We had record snowfalls for November. We
Speaker 4: had ten inches in Chicago the last day or two
Speaker 4: a week ago, we had zero in Saturday and Sunday
Speaker 4: in early December. And I've got some friends around here
Speaker 4: they're saying, I'm sure hoping fall gets over with quickly.
Speaker 1: But Noah.
Speaker 4: The National Shanic and Atmosphere Administration came out and promoted
Speaker 4: an article, and in the article it said, quote accelerated
Speaker 4: Arctic warming, known as Arctic amplification, has been evident since
Speaker 4: the nineteen nineties as one of the more robust.
Speaker 1: Signs of global warming.
Speaker 4: Currently, certain hypothesis established Arctic amplification as a contributor to
Speaker 4: more severe winter weather have ignited intense debates among climates.
Speaker 4: But you know, the credibility is not very good with
Speaker 4: the climate this. If you will, I love to quote
Speaker 4: doctor David Weiner of the Climate Research Unit of East
Speaker 4: Anglia in East Anglia.
Speaker 3: Is where they were.
Speaker 4: They've been holding and keeping the global temperature records for
Speaker 4: many years in England. He came out in two thousand
Speaker 4: and said, quote, children just aren't going to know what
Speaker 4: snow is.
Speaker 1: Yes, they do.
Speaker 4: Your listeners can go to a website at Rutgers University
Speaker 4: called the Global Snow Lab, and they have charts there
Speaker 4: and they show that the snow extent in winter months
Speaker 4: in the northern hemisphere, the amount of snow that's on
Speaker 4: the ground of the use satellites to look at this. The
Speaker 4: snow extent has actually been increasing since the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 4: So the idea that snow is disappearing really is false.
Speaker 4: But that's that's what many of the people say. And
Speaker 4: the idea that that warm weather in the Arctic is
Speaker 4: causing polar vortexas, that's it's just you know, we used
Speaker 4: to call these coal snaps, and now they're polar and fortexas
Speaker 4: made up.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you and I both know that when
Speaker 1: it's real cold and icy and snowy, that's caused by
Speaker 1: global warming. You and I know that the warm temperatures
Speaker 1: cause ice and snow. Now, one thing I saw this
Speaker 1: in the news a couple of nights ago, that Chevron
Speaker 1: is pulling out of the state of California, the largest,
Speaker 1: one of the one or two largest oil companies in
Speaker 1: the world. They can't handle their regulations put out by
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, and they say they're done. They're pulling out
Speaker 1: a billion dollars of investments, leaving tens of thousands of jobs.
Speaker 1: And it's predicted that the cost of a gallon of
Speaker 1: unleaded gas in California by summertime will be six dollars
Speaker 1: a gallon. And so when I read that, I just
Speaker 1: filled up my Chevy Blazer and it was two dollars
Speaker 1: and nineteen cents in Ohio and it goes up between
Speaker 1: two nineteen and two seventy. But in Chevron's case, Californians
Speaker 1: are going to spend six dollars for a gallon of
Speaker 1: gas because of the policies, not because of the climate.
Speaker 1: Well Californians ever figure it out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bernie Sanders just went down to the COP conference
Speaker 4: and crowe about how California was becoming more renewable.
Speaker 1: But you know, they talk.
Speaker 4: About this affordability crisis. California is a perfect example of
Speaker 4: an energy affordability crisis. Gasoline prices are much higher than
Speaker 4: the rest of the nation. Prior to this recent decrease,
Speaker 4: they were about four to fifty dollars a gallon. And
Speaker 4: as you say, there used to be forty refineries in California.
Speaker 4: Now they're down to ten, and two of them are
Speaker 4: looking to close, and they're predicting the prices are going
Speaker 4: to be up at six dollars per gallon.
Speaker 3: They have the.
Speaker 4: Second highest electricity prices in the nation, behind Hawaii, and
Speaker 4: they're catching Hawaii very quickly, and it's just a very,
Speaker 4: very expensive state to live. So it's a perfect example
Speaker 4: of how not to do green energy, how not to
Speaker 4: make energy unaffordable. But they're still marching down this road.
Speaker 4: Mister Newsom is pitching this crazy green stuff.
Speaker 1: And politically he appears to be popular in California. Politically
Speaker 1: he's leading the Democratic nomination for president in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine having Gavin Newsom in charge of America's
Speaker 1: energy policy.
Speaker 4: Well there's another there's going to be a big issue
Speaker 4: next year, and that is you know, we're in the
Speaker 4: middle of an artificial intelligence revolution. We've talked about that
Speaker 4: in the past. They're building data centers all over the country. Well,
Speaker 4: we now have two hundred and thirty environmental groups that
Speaker 4: signed a letter to Congress calling for a halt to
Speaker 4: data center construction in the United States. And we just
Speaker 4: had Bernie Sanders come out this week, Senator Bernie Sanders
Speaker 4: who urged a ban on data center construction. What's going
Speaker 4: on is astonishing. The big guys Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon
Speaker 4: are spending two hundred to eighty billion dollars this year
Speaker 4: to build data centers, and that's more than the g
Speaker 4: the gross domestic product of more than one hundred nations.
Speaker 3: Around the world.
Speaker 4: But now it looks like the Democratic Party is starting
Speaker 4: to line up on the side of banded data centers.
Speaker 4: So this could be just a huge chop trait next year.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if the policies at California are going
Speaker 1: to be across America, say between twenty twenty eight to
Speaker 1: twenty thirty six, and that all of a sudden, we're
Speaker 1: back to the solar batteries, We're back to the windmills,
Speaker 1: and we're going to make it hard for oil and
Speaker 1: natural gas companies to reduce products, and that would plunge
Speaker 1: America into a new dark age, maybe literally. So talk
Speaker 1: tell the American people about these nuclear power plants that
Speaker 1: are being put together that are different than Three Mile Island.
Speaker 1: It's different than Chernobyl and today here we are and
Speaker 1: that could be the answer. And the cleanest energy imaginable
Speaker 1: is a nuclear power plant. Explain how things have changed
Speaker 1: the last fifty years when it comes to those technologies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we still need them to get the cost down,
Speaker 4: but that's another thing going on. The artificial intelligence revolution
Speaker 4: is driving a resurgence in nuclear power. We have nuclear
Speaker 4: plants that are being restarted now in Iowa, in Michigan
Speaker 4: and Pennsylvania, and there's some that were construction with stop
Speaker 4: that are starting again in South Carolina. President Trump also
Speaker 4: issued an executive order in May, actually four of them
Speaker 4: on nuclear, and one of them said he wants to
Speaker 4: quadruple nuclear capacity by twenty fifty. We currently get eighteen
Speaker 4: percent of our electricity for nuclear in the US and
Speaker 4: he wants to boost that way up. And then, as
Speaker 4: you say, there are new technologies called small modular reactors.
Speaker 4: They're trying to be able to build reactors and factories
Speaker 4: put them on trucks and trains, ship them to the
Speaker 4: site and install them. And the goal here is to
Speaker 4: get the price way way down. So we'll see if
Speaker 4: this happens. Is they still need cost breakthroughs. Nuclear still
Speaker 4: is very expensive, three or four times as expensive as
Speaker 4: gas takes can take a decade to put in a plant,
Speaker 4: which is very slow, But we may have a nuclear resurgence.
Speaker 4: We now have like twenty five companies in the US
Speaker 4: working on small modular reactors. So just another big change
Speaker 4: over the policies in the past.
Speaker 1: So we have the technology available within the next five
Speaker 1: or six or seven years to manufacture these small reactors,
Speaker 1: put them on a truck to take them to a
Speaker 1: city and install them. And why does the green energy
Speaker 1: movement hate nuclear power when it's the best kind of power.
Speaker 1: Why what's the reason?
Speaker 4: Well, I think the history has been you know, many
Speaker 4: many years. That was one of the drivers of the
Speaker 4: environmental movement in the sixties, seventies and the eighties was
Speaker 4: to oppose nuclear before they got into the you know,
Speaker 4: we've got to stop global warming as the big thing.
Speaker 4: We also have had some disasters. We had three mile
Speaker 4: island issue, We had the Chernobyl in Europe, and we
Speaker 4: had the one in Japan who's escaping me right now?
Speaker 4: And so safety has been a big issue and the
Speaker 4: cost of these things, they're overregulated. I spoke at a
Speaker 4: plastic pipe group a while back, and the guys said,
Speaker 4: if I ship pipe to a regular factory, because I
Speaker 4: have to have two pages of paperwork. If I ship
Speaker 4: it to a nuclear plant, I have to have an
Speaker 4: inch of paperwork. So we have big regulation issues, and
Speaker 4: those are things that have retarded nuclear around the world.
Speaker 4: But we now have many countries building small modular reactors
Speaker 4: also and trying still experimental. All of this stuff is,
Speaker 4: but I have hopes that it's going to break through
Speaker 4: and we won't have to subsidize nuclear plants anymore.
Speaker 3: They'll be able to compete on their own.
Speaker 1: So you're optimistic, Steve Gorm. You're optimistic politically. If we
Speaker 1: keep the same political leadership and don't go back to
Speaker 1: the John Kerries, the Al Gorees, the Gavin Newsom's of
Speaker 1: this world, we're going to come out of this. Okay,
Speaker 1: I need some optimist.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, we have a rising number of political parties
Speaker 4: that are pushing back against climatism and then zero. In
Speaker 4: the US we have Trump and the Republicans. They haven't
Speaker 4: said they're a post in net zero, but the policies
Speaker 4: are pushing that way. And now we have four major
Speaker 4: parties outside the US, the Reform UK led by Nigel Faraj.
Speaker 4: In England, they've coined the phrase stupid zero.
Speaker 3: We have the and their pole.
Speaker 4: They're leading in polls in the UK, a second in
Speaker 4: the polls in Germany is the Alternative for Deutschland, and
Speaker 4: they said they want to get rid of all the
Speaker 4: wind turbine.
Speaker 3: Towers in Germany.
Speaker 4: That's one of their party planks. And then just in
Speaker 4: the last two months we had two parties in Australia,
Speaker 4: the Nationals and the Liberal Party have come out against
Speaker 4: net zero. They say it's just too expensive. So around
Speaker 4: the world we have all these groups that are saying,
Speaker 4: you know this, this green energy thing isn't going to work.
Speaker 4: Let's get back to sensible energy policy.
Speaker 1: One good we have about a minute remaining evs. The
Speaker 1: EV sales in America are collapsing, mainly because the government
Speaker 1: is not bribing people with seven and a half thousand
Speaker 1: dollars to buy one. And secondly, when you've had an
Speaker 1: EV for a while, the last thing you want to
Speaker 1: do is get another EV. So I still see lots
Speaker 1: of tesla's flowing around. But those who've had evs they
Speaker 1: did it. I guess to show how great I am.
Speaker 1: I'm just exhibiting my social consciousness. But what's the stat
Speaker 1: on if you've had an EV the odds are buying
Speaker 1: another EV, which are expensive.
Speaker 4: Well, you know they're cool cars, cool second cars. But
Speaker 4: as you say, they removed the text credits for them
Speaker 4: and sales have plunged. It's possible that that Tesla is
Speaker 4: going to show a loss actually in this next quarter.
Speaker 3: Are waiting to see.
Speaker 4: But they're about the last winter, they were about seven
Speaker 4: percent of US new car sales. Now they're probably dropping.
Speaker 4: They dropped in the summer and with the subsidies gone,
Speaker 4: so they're kind of a niche thing. And you know,
Speaker 4: Ford just canceled their f one fifty Lightning and took
Speaker 4: a nineteen billion dollar charge against that for canceling that,
Speaker 4: so they've got some issues. I think they're going to
Speaker 4: get better and better. But the idea that we should
Speaker 4: force everybody to drive evs to to stop to make
Speaker 4: the storms less severe, that's your silly stuff.
Speaker 1: So you're saying that Ford one the most one of
Speaker 1: the more popular pickups in America. How much did Ford
Speaker 1: lose on that.
Speaker 4: Well, this is the Lightning, the the electric version of it.
Speaker 4: But they just took a big charge nineteen billion dollars.
Speaker 4: H that's an awful big thing. They're still going to
Speaker 4: have hybrids and and they'll do some things, but uh,
Speaker 4: you know, we do see the manufacturers stepping back now
Speaker 4: from from the EV craze.
Speaker 1: And car dealers have told me that when you when
Speaker 1: they bring in an ev in trade, some won't even
Speaker 1: take them in on trade because they can't get rid
Speaker 1: of them. And those who need to be towed off
Speaker 1: a highway somewhere, tow trucks won't. It won't tow an
Speaker 1: ev it's too dangerous.
Speaker 3: Reseal.
Speaker 4: The resale has been very very low priced.
Speaker 1: Who would buy a three year old Tesla? You have
Speaker 1: to be you have to be stupid. Well once again,
Speaker 1: once again, it's great that I think what you're doing
Speaker 1: is having a measurable effect. And what is your website?
Speaker 1: If people want to get more about outside the Green
Speaker 1: Box and the Green break the Green Breakdown and also
Speaker 1: the mad mad world of Climatology. Can you tell the
Speaker 1: American people how to get your books?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll send them a signed copy if they order
Speaker 4: one for my website. Steve Gorham G O R E
Speaker 4: H A M dot com. And by the way, these
Speaker 4: are color paperbacks and they're a lot of fun. They
Speaker 4: have in addition to the science and economics, they have
Speaker 4: about one hundred and fifty color sidebars. Here's one from
Speaker 4: Green Breakdown. These are real headlines. A surgeon uses human
Speaker 4: fat to run his cars. There was a surgeon in
Speaker 4: Beverly Hills that was taking the fat from his surgeries
Speaker 4: and turning it into fuel. He actually got prosecuted. This
Speaker 4: is not something you're supposed to do. But this mad, mad,
Speaker 4: mad world of climatism, that's where we are. And the
Speaker 4: great reads for people.
Speaker 1: I save Gorm, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and escape
Speaker 1: the lines of communication open. We're having some measurable impact.
Speaker 1: And thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and Steve,
Speaker 1: you're a great American.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you. Bill.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more The Truth will Set You Free
Speaker 1: on News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 5: We're going to end the government corruption and we're going
Speaker 5: to drain the swamp in Washington. D c Oh, Hello, Piet,
Speaker 5: I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: Are you and the Epstein files? Yes or no? No?
Speaker 1: I'm tired of it. I don't hear anymore. No after
Speaker 1: the day. That's it. That's it. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about that, about it. I don't care. Do you care?
Speaker 3: You with him?
Speaker 1: You weren't on the island, were you?
Speaker 3: Hello?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: Seity?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 1: Hello? I can't say okay, no, I'm not one. But
Speaker 1: the fact is this is a substitute for covering substantive issues.
Speaker 1: And by the way, God bless them. But the women
Speaker 1: involved are multi millionaires. They have sued everybody. There's a
Speaker 1: pot of gold. You come forward say I was sexually trafficked,
Speaker 1: which is terrible. I was under I was sixteen years
Speaker 1: old with Prince Andrew. It's awful, and I have empathy.
Speaker 1: But it's been fifteen to twenty five years ago. And
Speaker 1: God bless them. By the way, there's twenty women that
Speaker 1: are raped and Providence, Rhode Island and the cases are unsolved.
Speaker 1: Twenty women. I can't tell you half the rapes in Ohio,
Speaker 1: Kentucky and in are not solved. There's ten thousand women
Speaker 1: raped every year in America. Half the cases are unsolved.
Speaker 1: Are those women's lives important? Compare that to the coverage
Speaker 1: of this. It's like and they want to blame Trump,
Speaker 1: of course everything, but he's not involved. But they can't.

Speaker 1: spent countless hours before the government got involved in with
Speaker 1: the citizens of North Carolina and their recovery from Hurricane Helene,
Speaker 1: flying multiple times to the area with the supplies, and
Speaker 1: Biffel won the first ever truck race, the first event
Speaker 1: ever held at Kentucky Speedway in the June of two thousand,
Speaker 1: so unfair. Amen. Good guy too. We had him on
Speaker 1: the show a few times and he was wonderful. The

Speaker 1: sends a text to her mother. We are in trouble
Speaker 1: and they all die in a fireball. You never know
Speaker 1: when you're gonna be called home segment. You better be
Speaker 1: ready to meet the Almighty. That's all I can tell you.
Speaker 1: That's true, Willie, your name better not be in the

Speaker 1: than warm over the weekend, as the weather can't figure
Speaker 1: itself out. We leave you with the immortal words of
Speaker 1: the Stewd Report.
Speaker 7: I have yet another vision that has become clear now
Speaker 7: and my crystallized cindrical pulsating sphere. I see a roton
Speaker 7: man with cherry cheeks in a hearty lab, prancing about
Speaker 7: in the snow.
Speaker 1: No, it's not Santa Claus. It's Brian Kelly. Brian Kelly
Speaker 1: is back as Santa Are you kidding me? Who would
Speaker 1: hire that clown? Go Tigers, Go Tiger? Well, right now,
Speaker 1: they got the right coach. Of course he may leave
Speaker 1: right go back to Alabama. If the coach from Alabama
Speaker 1: goes to uh, you know, maybe Michigan Browns or Michigan
Speaker 1: would go to Michigan. Mischigans should get the death penalty.
Speaker 1: They should be barred from playing football until they got
Speaker 1: their house in order. Do you agree? I agree? Maybe?
Speaker 1: What would Tom Weedman do? Take up for Ohio State?
Speaker 1: He's blaming He's blaming Ohio State for figure Anything's Ryan
Speaker 1: Days behind this and it's all a bunch of bs.
Speaker 1: Let's continue with more one fifty two Home of Year
Speaker 1: Bengals News Radio seven hundred w O me as You
Speaker 1: Mino and Radio we'll take off two weeks from at
Speaker 1: the beginning. Now is the nature of the business, which
Speaker 1: is a good business, and it's great enjoy it. I'm
Speaker 1: going to spend some time in the Southern Command, and
Speaker 1: I want to thank iHeartMedia for creating in Collier County
Speaker 1: a broadcast center, one of the top notch facilities in
Speaker 1: the world, so I can be with you quite often
Speaker 1: in January February March. You know, Father Time is undefeated,
Speaker 1: unto unscored on that the grim Reaper comes for us
Speaker 1: all we're not sure the moment of our deaths. We're
Speaker 1: not sure as many times whether we're prepared for it
Speaker 1: or not. And I reflect back upon in one sense
Speaker 1: Mike McConnell, then in another sense, Greg Biffle. Greg Biffle
Speaker 1: and his family by every objective measurement, Greg Biffle was
Speaker 1: a great American married, had a couple of kids, and
Speaker 1: they're flying off to Sarasota then on to the Bahamas
Speaker 1: for Christmas celebration for a week or ten days. Greg
Speaker 1: Biffle one of the great NASCAR stars of all time.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the kids and he were excited as could
Speaker 1: be taking off in their plane and away they go
Speaker 1: out of a North Carolina airport and at that point
Speaker 1: the engine either failed or something catastrophic occurred. There was
Speaker 1: sufficient time for Greg Biffle's wife to send a quick
Speaker 1: text to her mother saying things are not good, and
Speaker 1: so within a few seconds, all of them are dead.
Speaker 1: Little children, husband, wife, some other friends of the bid
Speaker 1: for family. They're dead. And you don't know when that
Speaker 1: moment's going to come for you or for me. When
Speaker 1: I was with Mike McConnell for his farewell appearance with
Speaker 1: us just after Red's opening day, or I spent my
Speaker 1: time with Jim Scott and his facility there in Hyde
Speaker 1: Park and on that Jim Scott front. I want to
Speaker 1: thank you so much. The thousands and thousands of emails
Speaker 1: that you sent to me that I printed off and
Speaker 1: gave to Jim and his wife filled the last days
Speaker 1: of Jim's life with joy, as if he had done
Speaker 1: something which he had quite good. He gave him himself
Speaker 1: freely to every charitable cause that money could buy. But
Speaker 1: at the end of his broadcast career, which is like
Speaker 1: I think it was about ten twelve years ago before
Speaker 1: Mike McConnell took over, he thought he wanted to spend
Speaker 1: time with more time with friends and faith and things
Speaker 1: of that character. I asked him a year or two
Speaker 1: after he'd retired from radio whether he missed it. He
Speaker 1: said absolutely. The only thing I didn't miss was getting
Speaker 1: up at three forty five am in the morning driving
Speaker 1: in from Lawrenceburg, especially on cold, wintry mornings. I didn't
Speaker 1: miss that at all. So I asked Mike McConnell, when's
Speaker 1: a good time for a radio man to retire and
Speaker 1: walk away. He told me months in advance he was
Speaker 1: going to do it after Red's opening day, and I
Speaker 1: asked him during our Christmas spectacular on Christmas morning if
Speaker 1: you wanted to do it then, and he said no.
Speaker 1: He said, I've told the powers that be here that
Speaker 1: I would like to step aside when on my own
Speaker 1: terms and not make a big deal of it. That's
Speaker 1: Mike McConnell's character, and simply to announce it within a
Speaker 1: week or two and then let it happen. Of course,
Speaker 1: we knew here for months Mike McConnell was leaving, and
Speaker 1: so it leaves you with a sense of what's next.
Speaker 1: At what point is enough enough? As an father time
Speaker 1: is undefeated untied on, scored on, and I want to
Speaker 1: spend more time with friends and family, and I want
Speaker 1: to spend more time doing the things I want to
Speaker 1: do in my life. The problem is, and this is
Speaker 1: a problem, the things in my life that I want
Speaker 1: to do at this point in my life are right here.
Speaker 1: This is what I enjoy doing. I wish I didn't.
Speaker 1: I wish I wish I could walk away and say,
Speaker 1: you know what I've done all that I can do,
Speaker 1: good and bad. I think mainly good. What do you think?
Speaker 1: And had this heart to heart with Scott Reinhart and
Speaker 1: Stefan and with Tony Benner and Joe Frederick a few
Speaker 1: months ago, and they said, you want to stay? Do
Speaker 1: you want to go? And I told them, you know what,
Speaker 1: I want to stay. Great, let's sign a three year contract.
Speaker 1: Going back in time a little bit, I said years
Speaker 1: ago that I wanted to stay here until twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: which would be the one hundredth anniversary of the founding
Speaker 1: of this station by Pal Crosley. I said one hundred
Speaker 1: years and of the station, and I would have been
Speaker 1: here for forty of the one hundred years, which ain't bad.
Speaker 1: And so ahead of time of twenty twenty two. Reinhardt said,
Speaker 1: you can't go. Do you like doing what you do?
Speaker 1: And I said, I love what I'm doing. I'd miss
Speaker 1: it like crazy. He said, well, stay for three more
Speaker 1: years until you know whatever you want to do. We'll
Speaker 1: sign another contract until twenty twenty five and expires December
Speaker 1: thirty first of twenty twenty five. And I said, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, December thirty first, that's a long way off.
Speaker 1: And that date is now here. It's about twelve days away,
Speaker 1: and about six months ago. I know it was hot.
Speaker 1: Scott Reinhardt. Tony Bender, general manager at that time, DJ
Speaker 1: Hodge called me in and said, look on tracks up.
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? And I said, let
Speaker 1: me talk to Penny. Let me go and go home
Speaker 1: talk to her. Came back bout a week later, and
Speaker 1: number one thing. She said, of course, Billy sit. Only
Speaker 1: my mother and my wife ever called me Billy. And
Speaker 1: she said, Billy, what do you want to do? And
Speaker 1: I said, well, damn it, I love what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: I kind of wish I didn't, so I could live
Speaker 1: off the fatted calf and play a little more golf
Speaker 1: and run around. But she said, if you got up
Speaker 1: a Monday morning here in Cincinnati, and you did not
Speaker 1: go to the radio and get ready about ten o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning, on what would you do? And I said,
Speaker 1: I'd have no idea. I'd go nuts. So I talked
Speaker 1: to shall I say, older Americans and ask them what
Speaker 1: they like, and the great majority. When I talked to
Speaker 1: John Barrett and those, He's a little younger than me.
Speaker 1: But what are you going to do? He said, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I love what I'm doing, man, I'm going to
Speaker 1: keep doing it. So if you're doing something in your
Speaker 1: life that you truly enjoy, irrespective of the so called
Speaker 1: money which comes and goes, and you want to keep
Speaker 1: doing it, and this station allows me to keep doing this,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't I keep doing it? And so about six
Speaker 1: months ago, looked, looked here, look there. I signed a
Speaker 1: contract effective January first of twenty twenty six, and we've
Speaker 1: have a gentleman's agreement that if I told I told
Speaker 1: the station that if you don't want me here, if
Speaker 1: I'm doing something wrong, if I'm not satisfying the ratings
Speaker 1: and the revenues, then simply let me know and I'll leave.
Speaker 1: And the differential is this because of different platforming, because
Speaker 1: of the podcast and because of streaming live. We have
Speaker 1: more listeners now in December of twenty twenty five than
Speaker 1: we've ever had. And the good old days that weren't
Speaker 1: that good, and there certainly were old. You didn't have
Speaker 1: other outlets. You simply had the broadcast and that's it.
Speaker 1: But today it's on demand. You can listen to pod cash,
Speaker 1: you can streaming. Our streaming is one hundred thousand a day,
Speaker 1: pretty good number. And because of that, these other different
Speaker 1: ways of the spoken word being disseminated, it allows individuals
Speaker 1: with original content to succeed famously, which is not happening
Speaker 1: in television news at all. Within two or three years,
Speaker 1: we're going to have two, maybe three local broadcast news operations.
Speaker 1: And that's it. In every newspaper in America, including The Inquiry,
Speaker 1: they used to have three hundred and sixty five thousand subscribers.
Speaker 1: I look online now they got about twenty two thousand,
Speaker 1: lost about ninety percent of their market. And the one
Speaker 1: that is not going down, in fact, is holding its
Speaker 1: own and going up is the spoken word. It's radio
Speaker 1: because its original content. That's why it's succeeding. So I
Speaker 1: made the decision to continue on with your permission, assuming
Speaker 1: you listen, and assuming you convey your support of advertisers
Speaker 1: like I don't know, like Western Southern and Joseph Chevrolet,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to mention anymore Paul Luck, McKinley Mortgage,
Speaker 1: and about ten others accordinated to financial planning, and so
Speaker 1: I better quit mentioning names. I'm gonna forget a few.
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay. And I told the station that
Speaker 1: I promise the Lord willing and some that could strike
Speaker 1: me at any moment, that I'll stay at least two
Speaker 1: years of the three years, and if I enjoyed after
Speaker 1: two years, I'll stay a third year then find someone
Speaker 1: to take my place. By that point, I would have
Speaker 1: been at this for about forty seven years, which seems
Speaker 1: like a lifetime, doesn't it, Yes, it does seems. I
Speaker 1: can't believe it. One thing I did do. I have
Speaker 1: a great relationship with christ Hospital and doctor Dino Cariacus,
Speaker 1: who was an altar boy with Dean Gregory when they
Speaker 1: were children at a Catholic school. And I said, I
Speaker 1: see him once a year, and he ran me through
Speaker 1: all these tests, catscans, MRIs, blood work, urine work, fecal work,
Speaker 1: got it all. And he said, Willie, you have the
Speaker 1: body of a sixty one year old. If I take
Speaker 1: your numbers and put them up against sixty one year olds,
Speaker 1: that's where you are. You're sixty one biologically, you're seventy
Speaker 1: eight chronologically. I said, I'd rather be that way than
Speaker 1: sixty one biologically and seventy eight diverse chronologically. I'd rather
Speaker 1: be where I am. So he said, are you and good?
Speaker 1: I see, I get up every morning, I sleep well,
Speaker 1: I eat properly, I exercise, and my mind. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've lost most of it. I think I have
Speaker 1: most of it. And so, but if something happens to
Speaker 1: me I'm unprovoked in some way, I'll move on with
Speaker 1: the thanks of a grateful nation. But the reason I'm
Speaker 1: here is because of you and the grace that you
Speaker 1: have provided to me. For the last of forty three years,
Speaker 1: and God willing and the crik don't rise, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do it for another couple of years, at a minimum,
Speaker 1: maybe three. I can't I've said this the last ten years.
Speaker 1: I can't conceive me working past the age of seventy.
Speaker 1: I can't conceive me working past the age of seventy five.
Speaker 1: I can't conceive me working another three years, But damn
Speaker 1: it if I enjoy it. You seem to enjoy listening
Speaker 1: to me in different platforms. You seem to welcome to
Speaker 1: what I have to say, and I seem to provide
Speaker 1: something that otherwise is not heard. Give me an example.
Speaker 1: Skips out of Contestant is in the first floor of
Speaker 1: this building. I go down to. My routine is get
Speaker 1: here about ten fifteen, ten thirty, take one or two interviews,
Speaker 1: make sure they're right, put them through the machine that
Speaker 1: makes everything sounds great. Then I walk downstairs to SKIPS.
Speaker 1: I get me a bowl of chili. And while I
Speaker 1: was down there at Skips, there was a guy whose
Speaker 1: name eludes me, who was up on a ladder and
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't like ladders, and he was
Speaker 1: fixing the pop machine. You know, this was wrong and
Speaker 1: that was wrong. And he looked at me and said,
Speaker 1: are you willing? I said, yeah, I am. He said,
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for providing to me years
Speaker 1: of entertainment and information I don't get anywhere else. And
Speaker 1: I said, I want to thank you because seemingly in
Speaker 1: your forties or fifties. You're on a ladder, which I
Speaker 1: don't like, up in the air fixing a pepsi machine
Speaker 1: so people like me can get a pepsi. I said,
Speaker 1: thank you for what you do. He said, no, thank you.
Speaker 1: Come back up. A couple days later, they said, delivery
Speaker 1: guy at the front here to be let in. I
Speaker 1: let him in. Said to me, are you Bill Cunningham. Yes,
Speaker 1: I want to thank you. I said, well, I listen
Speaker 1: to you all the time when people in a restaurant,
Speaker 1: in line at the airport, on a plane, if I shop,
Speaker 1: which I hardly ever do. The thing that sustains me
Speaker 1: now with you is the number of individuals who come
Speaker 1: up to me and thank me for what I provided
Speaker 1: in your life. And that is the wind beneath my
Speaker 1: wings that make me feel as if maybe I've done
Speaker 1: something productive. Often I say to Penny and my down moments,
Speaker 1: and God knows I have down I have blue moments.
Speaker 1: I say, I don't think I've accomplished much in my
Speaker 1: life at all, and she looks me and he says, yes,
Speaker 1: you have, and she rattles off two or three things
Speaker 1: I've done. I often feel I've wasted my life. On
Speaker 1: the other hand. When that guy at the pop machine,
Speaker 1: or some delivery guy, or somebody at the airport or
Speaker 1: someone in a restaurant comes up to me and says
Speaker 1: thank you. She says, see, I told you, and so
Speaker 1: I don't know who's listening. They tell me something north
Speaker 1: of one hundred thousand all the platforms. But as the
Speaker 1: year ends, and I hope in two weeks to be
Speaker 1: back with you when the new year begins, I want
Speaker 1: to thank you. Tom Brenneman said it in one of
Speaker 1: the interviews recently that he wishes our society had more
Speaker 1: grace and more forgiveness. I'm looking at a Philadelphia Flyer
Speaker 1: hockey broadcaster who thought the mic was off. He said
Speaker 1: something intemperate about a woman referencing a body part, and
Speaker 1: he was suspended for two days. You know what happened
Speaker 1: to Tom Brenneman some off and remark. I often find
Speaker 1: it amazing that I've been able to stay here for
Speaker 1: the last forty three years, through the good and the bad.
Speaker 1: They're rough in the tumble, the ups and the downs,
Speaker 1: the deserts and the oceans of difficulties and problems. Beginning
Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty three, in the summer continuing now through
Speaker 1: towards the summer of I hope twenty twenty eight and
Speaker 1: if that works out, good, But as you celebrate the
Speaker 1: Christmas season, I would encourage you to spend more time
Speaker 1: with friends and family. At the end of your life,
Speaker 1: if you have time to reflect upon what you've done,
Speaker 1: You're not going to talk about a car payment you skipped,
Speaker 1: or maybe a mortgage payment that you blew past, or
Speaker 1: maybe a home you didn't buy, or a stock you
Speaker 1: didn't buy. You're not going to complain about a flat tower.
Speaker 1: In I seventy one, almost everyone that I've spent time
Speaker 1: with as they as they died, and sadly, I've been
Speaker 1: with eight family members who have died, and one of
Speaker 1: my best buddies of all time, Bruce Roddy. You see,
Speaker 1: when he had his difficulties with his heart, came out
Speaker 1: of nowhere and each one of them said, to help
Speaker 1: my wife, help my kids, do what you can, and
Speaker 1: I wish I could spend more time with them. And
Speaker 1: I think that's the key to life is to have grace,
Speaker 1: to have love for God above, to treat others as
Speaker 1: you would like to be treated, and you cannot give
Speaker 1: forgiveness unless you receive it. If you want forgiveness for
Speaker 1: all the crap that you've done in your life, show
Speaker 1: the grace and love that you have, and forgive others
Speaker 1: who have wronged you. So we're going to take up
Speaker 1: that as if you want to listen to more of
Speaker 1: this Christmas Morning itself, the five heads of the family
Speaker 1: will get together. We're gonna have any Fingers in the
Speaker 1: rock and Tom Brenneman and Scott Sloan and myself We're
Speaker 1: going to talk about life and love, forgiveness and grace
Speaker 1: and what makes this country work. And it's not acidic comments.
Speaker 1: It's not trying to catch somebody in some wrongful comment.
Speaker 1: Many times on my side of the fence, if you
Speaker 1: say something wrong or didn't hit the dump button quick enough,
Speaker 1: the wolves are out there to bite and to bark
Speaker 1: and to show how the great Man has fallen. But
Speaker 1: I will not give and receive grace unless I do both.
Speaker 1: I hope to receive it, but I want to give it.
Speaker 1: I want to try to help those around me live
Speaker 1: better lives and give proper advice. But as I conclude
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, look forward to at least two more
Speaker 1: years and the Lord Willing, maybe three. I want to
Speaker 1: thank you for listening. I want to thank you for
Speaker 1: being my friend, and I specially want to thank you
Speaker 1: for coming up to me and thanking me for what
Speaker 1: I've done. I feel as if, quite often I've not
Speaker 1: accomplished hardly anything in my life. And I had a
Speaker 1: conversation with that repair man down at Skipst Aleka Tessen.
Speaker 1: I said, maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Oh, let's continue Bill cunning in the Great American Live
Speaker 1: for a little bit longer. It's your home of the Bengals.
Speaker 1: This radio seven hundred w auto just stupid, and so
Speaker 1: I explained to everything that happened and honed it and
Speaker 1: you know, just stupid.
Speaker 5: Oh, hello, Quiet, I'm Skulls.
Speaker 3: I'm broadcasting.
Speaker 1: Like the last show of the year. For the next
Speaker 1: two weeks. We're all off segment. You should take off too.
Speaker 1: Any chance of you taking off, I don't know, yes
Speaker 1: or no, I don't know. You won't take off now, Rock,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here to answer some difficult questions to
Speaker 1: your turn. Rock last as a year. So what is Boss?
Speaker 1: The question is this? What is it that Vanderbilt quarterback
Speaker 1: Diego Pavia Pavio is catching some serious flack and he
Speaker 1: should for dropping the F bomb about you as a
Speaker 1: Heisman voter.
Speaker 8: Now I am a Heisman voter. McAllister votes. Can you
Speaker 8: just ankle the Midwest the anchor? Can you disclose lance
Speaker 8: votes for? I can't say Archie Gridley voted for a
Speaker 8: three Michigan players, is what he told me?
Speaker 1: Really, what the But who did you vote for for
Speaker 1: the Heisman and why? I'll give you transparency? Okay? Number
Speaker 1: three Fernando Mendoza. Really he usually won.
Speaker 8: Over to because I didn't think his is I mean,
Speaker 8: I'm not a big stats guy, but his stats were
Speaker 8: not anywhere close to what prior quarterbacks have had.
Speaker 1: That one about that pass against Penn State with that tiptoe,
Speaker 1: how about the.
Speaker 8: State's like a five hundred football team. It was, it
Speaker 8: was fantastic. But I'm I'm you know, So you're saying
Speaker 8: Mendoza didn't have the stats.
Speaker 1: I thought he didn't know. I will say this so
Speaker 1: I still want a quiz segment Number three.
Speaker 8: So now he's performed well in the But but I
Speaker 8: always vote before the title games because I don't I
Speaker 8: don't want one game swaying.
Speaker 1: You know, twelve we got a twelve game sample size.
Speaker 1: I choose my my, my top three, which is spectacular
Speaker 1: what they've done there, and I think he.
Speaker 8: Deserved to win it. But he was number three, number two,
Speaker 8: Diego Pavia. Despite his comments, I didn't know about his
Speaker 8: comments until he said, Yeah, he's an interesting guy. I
Speaker 8: covered him when he was a quarterback in New Mexico
Speaker 8: State back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Thirty six thirty nine.
Speaker 8: Here he's a I mean, a fantastic unconventional player. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I think he could he had one more year, see
Speaker 8: he was. He plays one or two years of JUCO
Speaker 8: and he doesn't count. You know, he he you know
Speaker 8: what one in front of the n C double A
Speaker 8: to make a case that he should be able to
Speaker 8: have those two years back, and I think they denied it.
Speaker 1: So I don't think he can play again. But I
Speaker 1: think he's trying to play free. Kid's been through two
Speaker 1: divorces already now. Number one. Wait, we can't play in
Speaker 1: the NFL, right, he doesn't have the time.
Speaker 3: No, he cannot.
Speaker 1: You cannot play so the CFL. Yes, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Look at look at what's his name there? The former
Speaker 1: UC quarterback a Calundu something like that. Zach Calaro's right,
Speaker 1: he did number one, five or six round, But number one?
Speaker 1: Are you loyal or are you a loyal man or not?
Speaker 1: Did you homer it? Did you Homer? Yes or no?
Speaker 8: I didn't home or anything. But I voted for Jeremiah Love.
Speaker 8: I thought he was the most number fantastic player in
Speaker 8: college football this year.
Speaker 1: He meant the most of his team. You voted for
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Again. I voted for Jeremiah Love and and again.
Speaker 1: Had it been a year where there was a.
Speaker 8: Dominant, top top quarterback, in my opinion, I wouldn't have
Speaker 8: voted for him.
Speaker 1: But this year that there wasn't that guy.
Speaker 8: There was plenty y At the beginning of the season,
Speaker 8: it was gonna be arch Manning, and it was gonna
Speaker 8: be Cade club Nick, it was in Carson Beck and
Speaker 8: none of them I thought were Heisman.
Speaker 1: Trophy Kent Stateton Texas like rank one and two or
Speaker 1: two and one. They were a part of the year.
Speaker 1: They weren't in the top twenty, not in the top twenty.
Speaker 1: That's never happened before. But arch man is gonna go
Speaker 1: to the prom I Love average is six point nine
Speaker 1: yards per carry. How much of this.
Speaker 8: That's seven yards every time he took seven yards every
Speaker 8: time he touches the ball.
Speaker 1: Bring him here. I think that is significant. He played
Speaker 1: for the Bengals, guess he can. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Is he coming out Yeah? I mean it has been
Speaker 8: the Bengals better getting. Oh no, he's definitely coming out
Speaker 8: the Bengals better getting with the first pick, which they
Speaker 8: absolutely should not do. No, they should get killed downs
Speaker 8: from Ohio State. Unless they're in the top five, then
Speaker 8: you can't. You can't waste a top a top five
Speaker 8: pick on a safety.
Speaker 1: The first thirty one years being the general manager of
Speaker 1: your Bengals, the first thirty one years is the GM
Speaker 1: Mike Brown got had a total of zero playoff wins
Speaker 1: in thirty one years. Is that a record? Thirty one
Speaker 1: years in a row for a GM not to have
Speaker 1: a playoff wins? Not a problem, that's an issue. That's tough.
Speaker 1: It's also the only they got. Yeah. If he didn't
Speaker 1: win the owner, he wouldn't wouldn't have been. What are
Speaker 1: the Bengals need to do? I asked every question everything
Speaker 1: they need, the offensive lineman, defensive linemen, linebackers. They need
Speaker 1: to say, second crazy players, cornerbacks. I think they're punting
Speaker 1: in their their field goal kick. I think money back's
Speaker 1: find there got it back. They got quarterback and wide receiver,
Speaker 1: and I think I think tight ends hand running back.
Speaker 1: I think there were I think case Brown did a
Speaker 1: good job. You did good. How about the offensive line
Speaker 1: which is thirtieth in the league in officials A rookie.
Speaker 1: That was a good pick. He was a good player.
Speaker 1: So you're defending Mike Brown at this point? Is that correct?
Speaker 1: I'm saying, are you defending him? Yes?
Speaker 3: Or no?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not? What about the billboard?
Speaker 3: It's up you.
Speaker 1: Forgot about the billboard? Didn't ring Grove Avenue? So right
Speaker 1: next to the right, next to the cemetery, what did
Speaker 1: it say? I got into my phone right there, buyer
Speaker 1: Zach Fier Duke save Burrow. Is that true or not?
Speaker 3: Rock?
Speaker 1: It's true in that that sign exists. Yes, the paper
Speaker 1: the paper bags are out all right, and there's two
Speaker 1: more games, right and they play.
Speaker 8: But if we lived in a in a city where
Speaker 8: manager made changes and demanded it would it would change.
Speaker 1: But it's it's not Zach Taylor is not the problem
Speaker 1: at all. I think it's period better ingredients for a
Speaker 1: better meal and the ingredients are not there.
Speaker 8: You can't get credit for drafting Joe Burrow and Jamar Chate.
Speaker 8: My wife could have picked those.
Speaker 3: It was easy.
Speaker 1: I think that's wrong. Is it true or not that
Speaker 1: Mike Brown picked Joe Burrow?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, of course about but that was again, that was
Speaker 8: an easy one. Five year old said that guy is
Speaker 8: probably the first pick. Yeah, let's get that guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And they almost blew it in Miami six years ago.
Speaker 1: They tried to win a game in overtime.
Speaker 8: Can you imagine how bad would things be then? What
Speaker 8: it'd be like, There'd be no Super Bowl run? Two
Speaker 8: years of a Super bowls.
Speaker 1: Depressed?
Speaker 3: Now give me some sports.

Speaker 1: story is unbelievable, and he's living in the basement of
Speaker 1: the Physics building at Brown University. He shall we say,
Speaker 1: a derelict, got mental problems. He smells he's on drugs.
Speaker 1: But that day he sees this guy that doesn't quote
Speaker 1: fit in walking around the building in the campus. Because
Speaker 1: who he starts following the killer. He doesn't know he's
Speaker 1: the killer. He's that guy didn't fit in. There was
Speaker 1: some intuition he had said that don't look right. Let
Speaker 1: me check out out. I said, you've seen his book.
Speaker 1: Not good, He said, that guy, that guy's got problems.
Speaker 1: So he watches him get into a Nissan with a
Speaker 1: Florida plate. They put out his picture. That guy goes
Speaker 1: up to two cops yesterday morning. He said, I think
Speaker 1: I'm that guy, and they looked at it and said
Speaker 1: down the headquarters. They said he got in a white
Speaker 1: Knissan with a Florida plate which didn't fit in the Providence,
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. He said, it's probably a rental car. They
Speaker 1: ran the plate, they got the name of the guy
Speaker 1: and the other plate. They then went to Massachusetts. They
Speaker 1: found the same car around the home of the dead
Speaker 1: physics professor. There they then run hotel, motel storage units
Speaker 1: and the guys and they got to picture of the
Speaker 1: guy when he ranted the car from the from the
Speaker 1: rental car place. They got the picture and his name.
Speaker 1: They run it through and he's got a storage unit
Speaker 1: two miles away over there. They surround the place, he shoots,
Speaker 1: blows his The homeless guy.
Speaker 8: So so not not the cops, not the FBI, not
Speaker 8: the CIO. John, not yet John, the homeless guy.
Speaker 1: Who got metal. I think, say he's got mental problem.
Speaker 1: You can always have mental pro for yourself. And he's
Speaker 1: a Brown graduate who's in the physics building and no
Speaker 1: one just let him alone. And he's he broke the case?
Speaker 1: What I got?
Speaker 8: Admit there there's so much chaos and cases out there,
Speaker 8: it's hard to keep them all straight.
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama says, you have to quote pick leaders who
Speaker 1: don't rob women of their femininity? Are you robbing your
Speaker 1: wife feminity? Does she have? Does that mean I can't
