WEBVTT - 12-19-25 Bill Cunningham Show 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.720 Billy Cunningham, the Great America work on this Friday afternoon 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.039 in the tri State fifty thousand watch but sounded like 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:15.840 a million. And I have some announcement to make later 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.160 on about yours truly, and we'll deal with that later. 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.119 But first of all, we have many fallouts from the 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.759 last few days about what happening in Providence and what 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:28.560 happened in Massachusetts, mit, etc. Plus we have sometime around 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.760 three o'clock today supposedly the Epstein files are going to 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.320 be released, at least those not redacted. We've got that 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.640 going on, and more so, joining you nine now is 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.960 the great Leland Vitter. The main character, the main host 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.159 on News Nation is Leland Vitter. I'm promoting you and 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.400 Leland welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And I 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.760 like to think this is a great year for Leland Vitter. 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.199 Number one, you have a new bride and number two 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.440 a best selling book. So what do you think about 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.120 this year from a personal perspective? 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:01.000 Well, I am blessed and as you, as you pointed out, 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:05.040 got married, have a new nephew, my parents' first grandchild 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:14.200 came and Rachel somehow had been completely flummixed and totally 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.360 disregarded both her better judgment and everyone's advice and actually 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.399 walked down the aisle in June. And then, as you noted, 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.840 Born Lucky, my book about growing up with autism and 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:31.759 my dad's adapting me to the world has done well. 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.520 I think the best part of Born Lucky, really, and 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.240 I think the part of it this year that's been 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.360 the best is helping so many people. You know, we 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.360 say Born Lucky is hope for every parent of a 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.000 kid having a hard time, and that has proven out 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.039 by the hundreds of letters that I have gotten from 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.960 families not just of kids with autism, but ADHD, anxiety, 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.480 difficulties with bullying, all sorts of different things who said 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.040 that Born Lucky really gives. 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.040 Them this real sense of hope. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.480 And I think it's why it's taken off, why it's 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.360 been such a huge Christmas gift, because there's so many 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.320 families who are looking to realize that they're they're not alone, 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:07.800 and that is the Born Lucky story. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.840 Something just clicked in my mind, which occurs now and then, 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.119 is that having autism and you still have it and 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.440 uh being so successful. I'm thinking about Minneapolis, Minnesota, and 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.280 I'm thinking about a program there made up by Tim 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.680 Waltz and others to assist specifically Somali kids with autism, 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.640 which is needed. And then they have that program looted 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.720 by criminals who are buying villas in Spain. Fancy joins 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.760 fancy food to loot the money intended for kids with autism. 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.280 How did that strike your heart? 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.000 Offensive but unsurprising. 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:51.120 And the therapy that was used in the fraud right 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.200 was called ABA therapy is highly effective and it's by 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.360 far the best thing that can happen for kids in 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.679 The idea that at the Somali community figured out basically 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.960 how to fake a massive number of autism diagnosies and 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.240 then not give the services obviously to the kids who 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.560 had had fake diagnoses, but also to the kids who 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.639 had real diagnosises. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.760 Is just offensive at so many levels. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:23.840 I think it's unsurprising, but it goes to the level 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:29.000 of suicidal empathy that I think we are seeing as 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.959 it relates, especially in Minnesota, but also around the rest 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.040 of America. When it comes to the broader threat of 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:41.560 radical Islam or of just Islam itself into the United States, 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.800 I think we're going to look forward to twenty twenty six. 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.440 One of the big stories and through lines is going 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:52.240 to be the rise of the threat of jihad in 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.400 America and the rise of the incompatibility. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.280 Of Islamists and Islam with Western values. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.520 But he was intended for the best purposes. Tim Waltz 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.960 is going to run for a third term. I think 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.800 it's likely he'll win because if you're a Democrat in Minnesota, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.920 that's ten amount to being re elected. And now he's 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.360 going to be the policeman. Well before he was kind 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.840 of a Putts and allowed to happen because you can't 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.600 win in Minnesota, I'm told by talk show hosts of 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.880 Minneapolis unless you have the support of the Somali community 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.719 who vote in block So there might be about ninety 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.080 five thousand Somalis, there's about forty thousand that vote, and 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.080 if you begin the election forty thousand to zero against 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.600 your opponent, that's the way to get elected. In fact, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.680 they pander so much that the mayor, guy named Fry 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.599 in Minneapolis has begun to learn Somali so that he 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.839 can speak to Somalis in Somali. That's the pandering. And 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.200 you use the term suicidal empathy, and I see that 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:52.320 almost everywhere in the SNAP program, et cetera. And I'm thinking, 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.280 somehow will Minnesota's buy the idea that Tim Waltz is 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.680 really serious about cracking down on fry. That might be 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.720 I've seen reporting with you between one and three billion dollars, 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.080 which in Minnesota is a huge amount of money, and 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.080 the FEDS paid for a chunk of that too, and 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.320 it must be stopped. And if not, and you talk 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.960 about g had And I watched your interview the other 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.159 night with Debbie Wasserman Schultz Schultz, she's a Florida congresswoman, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.400 and you asked her a good question, which is, you know, 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:26.479 a congressman, she's leader of the Democratic Party, how much 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.640 of a threat in America? How big of a threat 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.560 is jihad? We see it happening out all over the world, 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.600 that this Christmas marks and Mars and Europe shutting down. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.360 That I guess Paris is not going to have a 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.200 New Year's Eve celebration this year because of the threat 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.479 of terrorism, not from Catholics, I might add the threat 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.760 of terrorism from Islamist And she had a startling answer 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.200 that Donald Trump is going to damage America more than 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.600 Islamic terrorist. And you were stunned and you push back. 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.520 Can you imagine if that's the minds of the Democratic Party, 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.719 she's one of the leaders. You would never work with 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.480 someone who's worse than an Islamic terrorist that killed innocent 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:12.720 people in Australia, your comments, you. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.680 Are seeing a situation where. 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:22.440 Western way of life, and by that I mean liberal 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:27.840 democracy in the classical sense, not liberal democrat or republican liberal, 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:35.120 is under threat by the rise of Islam. 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.279 And we're seeing it in Western Europe, you know. 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.120 To the point is you pointed out where Christmas markets 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.760 are now being closed or having to have barricades around them, 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:48.440 or being drowned out by the call to prayer, where 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.120 New Year's Eve celebrations are being canceled. So rather than 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.200 protect against the threat of terrorism, or to kick out 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.279 the people who would be terrorists or to arrest them, 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:07.360 Titians in western countries Europe and Australia are capitulating and 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:12.040 are are are are so afraid of being called Islamophobic 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.440 or not bowing to the needs of. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:16.880 The few, of the of. 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:21.240 The Muslims, that they are willing to transform the life 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:21.640 of the many. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.080 And you could say it'll never come to let me 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.200 tell you it can and it will. 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.640 And you're seeing you're seeing the little tiny flippers of 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.080 it in places like you're born, Michigan. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.000 You're seeing little. 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.600 Tiny slippers of it in places in Texas where where 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.360 groups are trying to do this, where the where the Islamist. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.440 Community there is trying. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:46.840 To supersede Western values with Islamist values. And that, by 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.240 the way, is what the Quran says to do. And 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.200 anybody who wants to have a debate about this with me, 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.520 bring it on. Spent four years in the Middle East, 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.320 interviewed a lotogy hotties in my time, when people tell 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.200 you who they are, if people show. 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.200 You who they are, you should believe them. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.160 And when you don't, you do so at great risk 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:08.280 to yourself. 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:09.320 And that's what's happening. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:14.040 They compare it to church bells ringing before Mass, which 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.120 is the call to prayer. In dearborn, Michigan. We have 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.400 the new mayor of New York City, Mamdani, who will 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:26.120 not criticize globalizing the Intafada. He beats around the bush there. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.880 He runs around with the worst elements of Islam. And 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.800 I would add that Cincinnati and other great cities have 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.720 a lot of Musques around at Toledo, Ohio, for example, 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.560 as a large one. There's a large branch of Islam 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.840 that is extremely violent, treating Jews and Catholics and Christians 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.480 and Americans like mice and cockroaches. There's another branch of 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.760 that tree where the word Islam is peace, wanting to 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.839 live with others. Have you noticed that American Muslims living 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.840 in peaceful conditions with families and work and businesses are 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.600 not speaking up. There's no leader of Islam like there's 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.600 a pope, like a pope and a cardinal or whatever. 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:08.000 And have you seen circumstances or Islamic leaders speak up 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.400 and say that's not us. Have you seen that? 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:16.080 Right that? That is the issue here right in? What 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:21.440 you are seeing is the quote unquote moderate parts of 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:27.559 Islam not speak up and not police their own And 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.560 that is the really dangerous change. 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:30.960 And you know what you want to call it Islam 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.040 and peaceful religion, there's an argument to be made for that. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.200 But then those who preach peace must stand up to 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.280 those who preach hate, and they must turn them in 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.560 and they must call them out. 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:42.800 And that is not happening. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.319 And you know, you come to you know I think 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:50.199 about this as my grandparents who came came to America. 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.040 You come to America because you want to embrace American values, 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.800 not because you want to bring your values here. And 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.400 what we're seeing, especially. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.600 In the Somali community in Minneapolis. 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.000 Is groups people who are bringing their values to America 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.600 and saying America must adapt to us. Yeah, that's not 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:11.120 how this deal works. And if we allow that to happen, 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.160 you are going to have the same thing here that 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.000 you have in Sydney, Australia, where there are large parts 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:20.240 of the city that have turned into little Damascus, no 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.360 different than places in the United Kingdom that feel much 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:27.040 more like you know, Islamabad than they do, like Birmingham, 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:34.400 and where Islamic values are effectively viewed as replacing Western law. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:39.920 And that is a extraordinarily dangerous thing because of what again, 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.640 separate any individual Muslim of whom I have friends and 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.800 of whom I think many are wonderful people, from the 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.679 values of Islam, from Mohammedism. And there's a big difference. 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.839 And I think we are finally now starting to be 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.240 able to have an honest conversation about whether or not 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:04.280 Islam is compatible with Western values, and the answer really 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.160 is that in let that no one of them is 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.240 going to have to adapt, and that is a real problem. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.240 There are Brits in England that are arrested at three 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.680 o'clock in the morning in their homes by London police 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:21.080 if they post something online against the Islam religion. Are saying, 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.640 why are we doing this? It's not hate speech. They're 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:27.920 criticizing the practices that they see in their hometowns in 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:32.320 London and England, and they're arrested by the police in 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.600 their homes at three am and put in jail many 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:40.479 times for months until they until they reckon order their opinions. 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:45.160 So it's unbelievable if you or I said in the 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.400 United Kingdom what we are saying right now, if we 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.960 said what we are just said on the radio online, 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.679 we would be arrested in the United Kingdom, we would 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.840 this would be considered anti social behavior to say what 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.800 we have just said. In America has to be honest 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.160 with itself about if that's where we want to go. 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.640 No, well we have to fight. Minneapolis is at the 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.480 breaking point, I think. But you know, we live in 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.400 a republic who with democratic overturns and the people of 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.520 Minnesota have got to say this is not going to 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.240 become the Islamic Republic of Minnesota. And if Tim Waltz 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.080 gets re elected, if Fry gets reelected, Keith Ellison, the 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:28.200 AG gets reelected, well that's what you get. And it 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.800 is sick. I often say, we get the government we 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.040 deserve and the times that concerns me greatly. Now secondly, 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.120 I mentioned this earlier at three o'clock Eastern time today, 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.240 In about three hours, they're going to release the Epstein files. Man, 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.319 I share with you one thought of mine on that matter. Please, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.520 I'm watching. It was either you or it might have 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.040 been I might have been a CNN. It's been about 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.480 four or five months, and they had on one of 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.560 the US attorneys from the Southern District of New York 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:02.280 who in seventeen, eighteen and nineteen thoroughly investigated the Epstein 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.600 matter because they assumed, like I assume, like I assume 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.920 you assume. I can't assume what you assume, but I assume. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.800 And Tony Bender assumed that there's all these important guys 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.800 from Bill Gates to Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, does this 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:21.679 name the person Wechner, etc. That had sex with teenage 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.200 girls inappropriately. There's no inappropriate sex with the teenage girl, 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.120 and I assume that even sitting here, I guess that's 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:32.560 the case. However, may I use the term? For eighteen 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.240 months to two years? The US Attorney Southern District of 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.480 New York perceived as the best law enforcement agency in 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:42.679 the country by themselves, they said. This US attorney who 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.880 worked on those cases said, of course, I can't speak 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.520 about grand jury matters, but he said that everyone that 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.360 could be criminally indicted in this, and that entire Epstein 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.480 matter was, which was Jeffrey Epstein and Glainne Maxwell. So 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.440 I'm watching this and the interviewer said, would you say 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.400 that again? Everyone? He said, everyone who criminally is liable 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.199 in our opinion probable cause has been indicted. And if 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.840 that's the case, Leland vinter are we going to learn it? 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.920 And this will be kept alive for a long time 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:17.240 because it politically benefits some. Is it possible that the 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.760 men whose photos ninety five thousand photos released, all these 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:26.160 famous famous guys, that none of them engaged in sex 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.200 with teenage girls or in a situation where a young 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.320 woman was sexually traffic Because if that was the case, 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.800 one of the members of that office was James Comy's daughter, 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.040 the one who hated Trump. They wanted to get him, 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.280 They wanted to get everybody involved. Is it possible, There's 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.440 no there, there is that possible. 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:46.600 Of course it's possible. 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.640 And there's also a middle ground. Bill, there's a middle 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.320 ground that there is no there there. I don't believe 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:54.960 there is that there there when it comes to Trump, because, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.360 as you point out, I think if there was a 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.960 number of different DJs and prosecutors would. 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.120 Have gone there and right. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.480 But there is a there is a middle ground here, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:13.720 which is that there were men who perhaps were not 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.440 trafficked underapemen, but who were perhaps at the island or 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.960 in other places and engaged in behavior that may not 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.840 have been criminal, but may have been really icky and awful. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.640 They have gotten the past, and I think the best 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.760 journalist on this is a woman named Tara Palmery, and 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:36.240 she has pointed out that in the depositions of these 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.920 alleged victims that there have been other names that have 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.840 been mentioned, and there have been other names that have 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.080 been mentioned as men who had sex with them. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:46.720 Now, were they under age at. 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:51.040 The time, That that is a different story, but it 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.400 is very clear that there was a lot of other 0:15:55.640 --> 0:16:01.880 things going on, and you know, now again, and I 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.960 think what the US Attorneys of the district in New 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.240 York setting where I think what's really important is everybody 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.480 that we could prosecute we did, Yeah, which means everybody 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.160 that we could prove guilty. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.200 Beyond a reasonable doubt. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:20.120 And that's that's a very different standard than is this 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:21.920 person a good person? Right? 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:22.360 Yeap? 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.080 Yeah, Like those are different things. 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.680 I like your use of the ikey shuffle. You know, 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.680 we think of ikey woulds, but it's ikey to have 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.040 a sixty five year old guy having sex with a 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.840 twenty two year old woman's but it's not criminal unless 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.120 she was trafficked. Well, look, we got to run, but 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:41.760 born Lucky's still out. 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.680 There that happy no merry Christmas. 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.480 Well, we deal with the news, and we take the 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.360 news as it comes, and I hope we have a 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.120 successful twenty twenty six. Keep doing what you're doing. I 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.480 love our relationship. We've met I think one time at 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.960 a place in Naples called Old Old Collier, and I 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.840 hope to see you again down there at some point. 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.560 But let's keep it going. I love the term I 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.680 may take it from you. Suicidal empathy. That's a great 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.680 term to describe what's happening in America. But Leland, give 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.040 my best to Rachel and all your family, and may 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.560 God bless you. God bless America, and to you and 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:21.000 yours Leland, Merry Christmas, Thank you, Bill, God bless you. 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.080 Let's continue with more and that could be the case. 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.840 And of course the women. There have been dozens and 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.600 dozens of class action lawsuits, tens of millions of dollars 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:34.680 paid out to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein from insurance companies, banks, 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:38.879 and brokerage firms. And I'm saying, well, they were paid 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.560 financially for the injuries inflicted upon them, and that's a 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.199 good thing. So let's continue with more news. Next your 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:51.200 Home of the Bengals News Radio seven hundred ought by 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.440 Billy Cunningham Dave Keaton hit the music That's All good. 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.760 I followed this thing in Rhode Island in Massachusetts, as 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:03.399 I like to do anyway, and it was amazing. Who 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.119 kind of broke the deal, broke the case wide open. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.359 It was a homeless guy named John who lived in 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.760 the basement of the building where his two students were 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.840 murdered in cold blood. So I read about John, I'm thinking, 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.320 how in the hell is John involved in it? He 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.679 was the second photo of the guy walking around with 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.560 bushy eyebrows, and I thought, Okay, how's John involved in 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:28.520 this case? And the answer is the police thought that 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.840 that guy, whoever that guy was named John by the way, 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.439 might have seen the murderer and might have seen the 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.240 vehicle in which he pulled away from the scene in 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.160 and so the homeless guy, first name is John, as 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:47.040 a graduate of Brown University, appears to be about thirty 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.320 five years old. He's homeless, he's drug addicted, and he 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.400 lives in the basement of the building where the murderer entered. 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.800 Who was here, by the way, on the kindness of 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:03.639 our hearts as a diverse city visa recipient. That's another issue. 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.960 We'll talk talk about that later. The homeless guy told 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:12.080 police when he stepped forward, you might recall the authorities. 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.560 The DEI authorities in Rhode Island and Massachusetts put out 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:20.840 a photo of this guy, the witness, so to speak, 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.880 saying if you know this person, or if you are 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:28.720 this person, please come forward. So he walked up yesterday 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:33.359 afternoon to two police officers in Providence and said, I 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.240 think that's me, and the cops looked at him and said, 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:40.479 that's you. So they took him into headquarters and the 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.840 homeless guy, John, a proud graduate of Brown University, told 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.320 the police that he sleeps in the basement of Holly Hall, 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.520 which is the building in which the murders took place. 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.680 And he told them earlier in the day, just before 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.120 the shooting, he said, he saw someone that looks suspicious 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.400 in the basement area of that building where he was sleeping. 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:07.200 And so John, the homeless guy, you talk about how 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.400 unusual things that her in life. All the FBI, the CIA, 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.399 the Marshall Service, all the police, state police, it was 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.280 a homeless guy that broke the case. And he told 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:21.160 them that he approached the subject because he didn't fit in. 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.040 He looked a little bit unusual, wasn't a student, so 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.639 to speak. And he said, I saw him walk toward 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:33.520 his car unlock it with a key fob, and uh, 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:39.640 the murderer noticed a homeless guy, fortunately didn't kill him, 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.720 and he got into the key fob and at that point, 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.360 he said, he told the police. He told the police, 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.679 I want you to look for a gray Nissan with 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:55.399 Florida plates, probably a rental. Aren't too many Florida plates 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.359 and Rhode Island, by the way, except for rental cards, 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.960 and went on to say, I think he might have 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.560 been involved because he used a key fob to open 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.520 the car. He looks a little suspicious to me. And 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.239 when I kind of followed him out, he kind of 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:14.800 walked away a little more quickly. He unlocked the car, 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:17.840 and he said, I found an odd that when he 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:21.680 circled the block in the car, that's when I saw 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:27.040 the Florida plates. That started to unravel the entire case 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.680 for the homeless guy named John who broke this thing 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:35.680 wide open. So two things come to mind. The FBI 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:40.439 had posted a fifty thousand dollars reward for information leading 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:44.360 to the arrest and or apprehension of the murderer who 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.440 was here. Sh I was saying, a green card, and 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.040 he's going to get the fifty thousand dollars. Hope he 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:54.920 uses it well, I might say. And he also the 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.359 police were asking the question, why are you living in 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.680 the basement? He said, I have nowhere to live, and 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.679 I can walk into cafeterias and get fed. And it 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:10.080 was cold, and normally I live outside, but Rhode Island 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:11.439 that time of the year is cold. In fact, the 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:16.679 next day it snowed like hell. So talk about the 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:21.480 twist and turns such as the guard of Abraham Lincoln 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:27.439 outside of his private box at the Fort Theater just 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:31.240 happened to leave to get a beer next door. Or 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:35.280 Lee Harvey Oswald, the mother in law he was living with. 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.280 The mother in law, she told Lee Harvey ols, you 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.520 got to get them. You have to work. And so 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:45.120 a friend to his I don't know how friends said 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.560 that the Texas Cool Book Depository is hiring try there. 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:52.040 So they hired his two facilities, one in fort Worth, 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:55.600 one in Dallas, and he was assigned to work in 0:22:55.640 --> 0:23:00.000 fort Worth, but a week before they had a pregnant 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:02.600 and see as someone on leaving, somebody else quit, so 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:06.080 the foreman and fort Worth transferred him to Dallas, Texas 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:09.439 School Book Depository. The rest is history. Despite all the 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.600 thousands of man hours, all the money spent, it was 0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.840 a homeless guy named John who broke the case wide open. 0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:19.360 Likely is going to get the fifty thousand dollars. Now, 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:22.280 on another matter, I looked into this a little bit. 0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:24.919
