This is seven hundred w l W yeah yeah yeah woo. Portions of the
Bill Cunningham Show may be prerecorded Willie bad the Ball Rock You by Choice Hotels,
a kunnel lodging roadway in hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying
stay book at Choice Hotels dot com sow. Here's the man who's been recognized
as radio's best, the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Mark Cony
Awards for his broadcast excellence, the one and only Bill Cunningham. Hi,
Billy Cunningham, the Great American. First of all, Happy Birthday to the
United States of America. About the worst place on earth to live, except
when you consider all the other ones. This is fabulous compared to what others
have to go through and the freedoms they don't have. Coming up later we
have Scott Powell of Rediscovering America on the fourth of July. Also is aaron
with about freedom as the foundation how we are defeating the woe crazies. Also
later on as the Great Kevin Jackson of the Black Sphere Kevin Jackson Network dot
Com. Kevin Jackson is about the best there is on racial issues, and
he's going to talk about the results in his view of the Supreme Court decision
on Thursday or Friday about racist crimination at Harvard or UNC. But first of
all, a little segue mentioned this to my producer Danny boy Gleeson and Sarah
Elis, the great news expert the newscast that I've had a mount rushmore of
americaner's acts, whatever it might be. I threw in the Beatles because they
really kicked off when they came to America nineteen sixty four. And this is
relatable to Taylor Swift, who just devastated Cincinnati for the last two nights Friday
and Saturday night with one hundred and twenty five thousand tickets sold to pay Course
Stadium run by my good friend Bob Coughlin pay Course Stadium, and she could
have sold out two or three times that number. And I've asked those who
know some FM friends of mine, I'm not much of a music listener of
any type, that who what American act today could set out every stadium that
he or she appears multiple times day after day and have plenty of tickets left
over from people waiting outside to get in. And I'm not sure there's anyone
other than Taylor Swift. I'm thinking about the boss who's a left doing extremist,
Bruce Springsteen. I'm thinking maybe about the remnants of the Grateful Dead.
I don't know, Garth Brooks, maybe I don't know. But no one
is doing in music and popular culture with Taylor Swift is doing. And she's
been doing it now for about about thirteen fourteen years she started. She's now
thirty I think thirty two or thirty three, really starting in the fourteen fifteen
years old, doing it since since twenty one twenty two, in ways that
no one else has. My mount rushmore of American vocalist entertainers have been in
the past. Frank Sinatra, who, believe it not, died in nineteen
ninety nine, the chairman of the board, Frank fabulous singer, dancer,
a little bit of a composer, actor, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley,
the Beatles, and Garth Brooks, and I throw in I'm Michael Jackson here
and there. As far as an impact right now, the only person that
has not sold the same number of records as the Beatles would be Taylor Swift,
and she's sold, according to one account, about two hundred and fifty
million records. The Beatles have sold about four hundred million to five hundred million,
and she has another ten to twenty thirty years to go. And she
is prolific when it comes to songwriting. And I'm not a Taylor Swift fan,
not at all. However, when I talked to women and some guys,
mainly the girls, they go nuts when it comes to Taylor Swift about
a positive message, a songwriter, a singer, a dancer, a performer,
not just a vocalist but also can play almost any instrument. Hallelujah.
She has devastated Cincinnati over the weekend. Here in River City, the Reds
sold out three games of forty thousand each, beating the Potteries two out of
three, and then FC beat up on New England until late two two.
They didn't lose to New England. Whatever the is from MLS. And by
the way, Lionel Messi is going to come to Cincinnati August of twenty third
and play soccer Messi Messi, but Taylor Swift. There were sixty thousand per
appearance each night Friday and Saturday Taylor Swift, and there were twenty five to
thirty thousand devotees outside that just wanted to get close to the Messiah of music.
There were hundreds of boats on the High River outside of pay Course Stadium,
home of the Bengals, and Joe Burrow listening. Could she has sold
out five shows in a row sixty thousand each? Absolutely not even close.
Tickets were going for ten thousand dollars each and a sixty thousand seat stadium ten
thousand each. Good friend of mine, I'll give his first name, Sean,
won't give his last name, but six tickets for family members when they
first came out, and spent thirty five hundred dollars for six tickets. That
was the face value. He was offered seventy thousand dollars for the six tickets,
and he said, I didn't have the guts. He didn't have the
guts to take the seventy thousand dollars. He consulted with the six girls and
his family from ages of fourteen to eighteen years old about whether each of them
would take ten thousand dollars each and not go to the concert. Immediately,
tears welled up in their eyes with this suggestion that somebody would take money rather
than watch her in person. Are you kidding me? Ten thousand dollars,
not even close. He then said to them, would you take a hundred
thousand dollars each instead of attending the concert? Each of them said, oh
no, oh no, Papaul, no, no, one hundred thousand dollars.
No. And one of them was sacrilegious and said, you're a Catholic?
Would you take a hundred thousand dollars not to see Jesus Christ on the
mount? Now that is sacrilegious right there. So I just went through in
Cincinnati a weekend or three hundred thousand people attend at the Reds Games, Taylor
Swift inside and outside the stadium in FC run by Jeff Birding three hundred thousand
people. You may disagree with me. I am now putting Taylor Swift on
my mount Rushmore of singers and entertainers in the history of the United States of
America above Frank Sinatra, above the Beatles, above Elvis Presley, above Garth
Brooks, above Michael Jackson, above the Grateful Dead, above the Rolling Stones,
and Elton John above Dean Martin. They're all gone. It's Taylor Swift.
It's the greatest entertainer, singer songwriter, cultural leader in the history of
the United States of America, bigger than being Cross Are you kidding it?
I'm not. You would have to be here in Cincinnati to experience what this
town went through. Every television ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox were
live outside of Bengal's home field. Pay Core Stadium used to be Paul Brown.
Now it's Pakecorps. By the way, Paycorps is a great company,
nonetheless, And tens of thousands showed up just to be within a miles distance
of the tabernacle created by Taylor Swift. And I'm told she doesn't drink,
doesn't smoke, doesn't act up, has no mental illness, travels with her
mother and father, dates almost every guy she gets her hands on, But
that's a different issue. Hit the music, meat say. I used to
date her just before John Mayer, but that's a different story. She wrote
a song about me like whipping Whipping Good? Was that divo? Or was
that Taylor divo? Whipp It Good? How about shake It Up? Baby?
What was that? Shake it down? Or shake it up? Shake
it up? Or shake it down? The cars doesn't it doesn't she have
a song like shake It Good or shake it bad or something curl summer.
I don't know. I went through it and I was offered four tickets in
a private box, air conditioned with dinner. And I said, no,
I tell you what I told. This guy said, look, Penny and
I would I would not appreciate it. I'm sorry. I give it to
some four girls if you can, and please. But and she is acts
and concerts going for the next year and a half, including in Ireland.
A friend of mine said, let's go to Ireland. I said, I'd
love to go to Ireland. But I mean, I wouldn't walk across the
street to say hi to Taylor Swift. I don't know. But it is
compared to Jesus Christ at the Mount and Get semony. That's what it's compared.
I'm saying, well, that's sacrilegious, that's wrong. But I think
she's on my mount Rushman. I don't do you take down Frank Sinatra.
I mean I went to a concert Frank did about nine nineteen ninety two something
like that with a good friend of mine, Willie de Luca, and we
were in the front row. He got tickets and the thing was like three
quarters full and had a teleprompter up, could barely sing. Al was Elvis
in nineteen seventy seven, a market Square arena and Indianapolis not good. The
Beatles. They're gonna come up with a new song later this year, I
think because of Ai. John Lennon is back and George is back. But
when she gets done, she will sell more records, sell more tickets,
and have a greater influence over a longer period of time than anyone in music
history, anybody. It's gonna be Taylor Swift. She's gonna sell a billion
or more records at a time where selling records not a big deal at all.
It's public and it's the concerts didn't matter one Thanks for listening. Oh
thank you well, Taylor. I you know I like to meet you at
some point. But after all, I thank you Taylor for listening. No,
I don't know what to say. Hey, it's Taylor Swift and I'm
coming to play for you. Oh thank you, Taylor. I appreciate that,
but I don't know. And to hear religious fervor, you didn't hear
religious fervor. I had more than one girl or woman tell me that that
concert changed her life for the better. She will spread love everywhere which means
not a bad idea, but nonetheless, you're gonna spread love everywhere. Taylor
Swift the biggest name in the history of American music. Write that down,
Danny Boy. Danny Boy glees to write that down. The biggest name in
the history of American slash world history will be Taylor Swift. If it's not
all ready a talented woman, Hey, it's Taylor Swift and I'm coming to
play for you. Oh, thank you. Anytime you want to stop by,
come on by, Tay. I'll call her Tea or Tay. That's
what I'll call it. It's And by the way, there was no injuries,
there was no shootings, there was no robberies. It was a peaceful,
quiet crowd that showed up Saturday night. They changed the start of her
concert from eight pm Eastern Time to seven because rain was predicted, which by
the way, never happened. Nonetheless, the weather terrorists were predicting all this
terrible circumstances. It rained overnight, but not during the concert, and she
an hour early didn't make any difference. She will be if she isn't already
the greatest American music performer of all time. Write it down, you gotta
find that song from her Danny Boyden, the song she does like whip it
Good or shake It, shake It Devo devo. I don't know, but
the ladies, the girls, the women have gone nuts, dressing up,
buying the stuff. She sold product here of one hundred million dollars in Cincinnati,
one hundred million, and she'd go to sold twice as many seats.
It's unbelievable. Paul from Idaho, he wants to sponsor Taylor Swift to come
to Idaho, and I went through it. How about the Reds selling out?
A month and a half ago, they were drawing six thousand a game
to my ballpark, the Great American named after me. Now they're drawing forty
thousand for every game. At the same time, next door, Taylor Swift
is drawing one hundred and twenty thousand. I don't know what to say.
Hit the music. This about me, better man, this is uh.
She performed for three and a half hours, no breaks, changing out fitch
dance and singing going nuts and songs about me called better man. I'm probably
better awful man loving a man who didn't know what he had he had,
that's the truth. I didn't know what I had as see. Yes,
David, you did to me? What did I do? I just wish
the crews forget when she had a quarter of a million people in the palm
of her hand, standing in the mirror saying to myself, I know you
had to do it. I don't know what to say. All right,
I'm missing Hi. It's Taylor. I know Taylor. I missed you too.
I can feel you, yeah, and then middle and eye, I
can feel you again. I didn't feel her the first time. To be
honest with the man, that's it. Of course, Tim McGraw when you
need him. By the way, eighteen eighty three is fabulous. I love
Tim mcgrawl and Faith Hill. I love rip. Rip is my favorite.
Let's continue. My drug is my baby. M all right, let's continue.
Let's talk about the h three US Supreme Court decisions making the left go
nuts. But if you want to comment about Taylor Swift, I know J.
D. From Las Vegas loves Taylor Swift. We have four lines open
eight six six sixty four seven, seven three three seven the Mount Rushmore.
Maybe I should call the Mount Taylor Swift of American US. All right,
I'll keep Mount Rushmore liberals want to get rid of Mount Rushmore. I don't,
but I got it. I know it, I know it. I'm
talking about you. Just stay right there, Let's continue eight six, six,

shake it shake it off? Is that? Or shake it up? Something
like that? Shake it off? I don't know what to say. That's
it. I mean, I've never seen anything. I guess Ella win close
would be the Beatles right when they came sixty four, sixty five, sixty
six, But far's longevity. Longevity has its place. The Beatles were hot
for sixty four to seventy, like six years when Taylor Swipting doing it now
for about twenty years, since she's thirty three, she's the most dominant character
of the twenty first century. Bar nine Hit a Tay. Hi, It's

Aaron with will be here. Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday night,
news, traffic and weather. News Radio seven hundred wl W, Cincinnati.
Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence in total agreement with the Supreme Court decision with the
ten thirty report. I'm Sean McCormick. Breckey now twenty twenty four Republican presidential
hopeful Mike Pence is one of many in the GOP circles heralding last week weeks
Supreme Court decision in favor of a Colorado web designer who didn't want to be
forced into accepting business from same sex clients. It's an affirmation of religious freedom.
I think it's it's a real victory for religious liberty and a real victory
for the freedom of religion. That really is the first freedom in our country.
Pence, appearing on ABC's This Week earlier today. Now the latest weather
from the forecasters at nine News. Overnight a few showers developing, a lull
of sixty nine Monday, scattered thunderstorms throughout the day, high of eighty three.
Monday night, mostly clear and a lull of sixty six. Then for
the fourth of July Tuesday, mostly sunny and a high of ninety degrees.
The radar is clear right now. It is currently seventy one degrees. Tikio
A Stadium has been chosen to host two Gold Cup quarterfinal matches. The Confederation
of North Central America and Caribbean Association foot Fall made that announcement earlier today.
FC Cincinnati CEO or CO CEO Jeff Birding says the Gold Cup is the flagship
competition for conocalf and it's exciting that the knockout stages matches will be from bringing
many around the world to Cincinnati and to t QUL, a world class soccer
specific stadium. Those matches are going to be held next Sunday, July ninth.
The Reds of four three winners over San Diego with a great performance by
twenty four year old Andrew Abbott on the mound. He was looking for that
ball to break out over the plate. It did not, and it's a
two ball, two strength count. Looking for number ten is Abbott? Can
he do it right here? The pitch got him ten strikeouts on the afternoon
for the left tender, Andrew Abbott's cowboy on the call. Next update is
at eleven o'clock. I'm Sean McCormick, News Radio seven hundred w wellw welcome
to the good stuff. I'm just going back to reality. As you may
know, I've been an assistant age and I've been a federal law clerk,
and I love reading Supreme Court decisions and the three the most important ones came
out about student loan forgiveness, which is not student loan forgiveness is transferring the
responsibility of someone else to pay your bills. And also race discrimination involving Harvard
and UNC Charlotte and the un Chapel Hill. And then the third one was
Laurie Smith sued the state of Colorado alleging that the First Amendment takes presidents over
a statute requiring her to violate her religious principles. Let's deal with that first,
Laurie Smith, and the headlines of the media was one way that most
of the headline said court limits gay rights. Others says LGBT rights take a
hit. Every major media outlet coined this Christian website designer as somehow wanting to
limit the cost to the gay rights of individuals who could not use her services
to design a web plan for a gay wedding. Now, Laurie Smith,
when all the way it took, it took about three years to get to
the US Supreme Court, I prefer to say religious liberty upheld or free speech
remains. Let me explain whenever there's a state law in this case, Colorado
would order Laurie Smith to violate her First Amendment rights. Every time you have
a government action up against the First Amendment. I could almost guarantee that every
US Supreme Court will rule it unconstitutional and that you have to uphold the First
Amendment. You might recall the case of Fred Phelps, who was a religious
bigot who used to attend the funerals of dead American soldiers, holding up signs
using the F word to describe homosexual activity and saying things like God loves dead
soldiers. Nothing could be more despicable. And so in that case worked his
way up to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, on eight to one
vote, said that Fred Phelps and the Baptist Church of which he represented had
the constitutional right to say those things. That was eight to one. It
wasn't even close. So hate speech is protected by the United States Constitution,
much less Christian beliefs, I would hope certainly are protected by the US Constitution.
Some of the sad parts of this was some of the some of the
opinions rendered by some of the so called minority judges who had a difficulty.
Some of it is pretty sad. And in the sixth three decision, and
I don't understand how Justice Sonia so to Mayor could call the ruling quote heartbreaking.
The immediate symbiotic effectedness is going to be horrible for African Americans. So
in years past, it was not political to say that if the state passes
a law that requires you to violate your personal religious beliefs and take away your
freedom to speak and designing a website has been determined to be speech, that
that is unconstitutional. Instead of Colorado cannot do that. The court favored freedom
over totalitarianism. So Laurie Smith, I'm surprised it was only six to three.
It should have been nine zip. But three of the so called liberal
Democrats wanted to tell Laurie Smith that the state of Colorado can force you to
violate your freedom of speech rights and to violate your Christian principles. The court
did not limit gay rights. The court upheld religious freedom. I would have
dropped over dead and shock if CBS, NBC, ABC, New York Times,
Washington Post, Togoger Tribune ran headlines that said First Amendment upheld. No,
it didn't go that way. Court limits gay right. It doesn't limit
any gay rights at all. What it does is that when there's a clash,
a crash between government action the state of coloradoe State of Colorado demandating that
Laurie Smith violator Christian principles. Guess what, the First Amendment, the freedom
to practice your religion, is almost always gonna win. What it doesn't do
is tell someone. For example, let's say my producer, Danny Boy Danny
Boy Gleason operates a business in which he leases or rents out chairs, and
someone calls him, calls anyone and who's gay, and they would like,
uh, they would like the provider of the chair to bring four hundred chairs
to a hall in order to individuals can watch a gay wedding. Now that
person does not have the First Amendment right not to do that. The public
accommodation law would say it is not expressing freedom of speech in creativity to bring
a chair to a hall, to a meeting room. That's not the same.
They want to Laurie Smith to sit down with them and use her creativity,
her freedom of speech rights in order to design a web a website to
promote a gay marriage. That's different than someone such providing services. If you
own a motel six, for example, and someone calls you who is Jewish
or black or Irish or gay or whatever and says, I need a room.
You do not have the right to say no to that person because there
is no creativity involved or speech rights in providing a hotel a motel room.
Of course, the minority opinion and liberals wanted to make it more than what
it truly was. In fact, the opinion of Neil Gorsage did a great
job. I read it, you should read it, and made that point
clearly that there's no creativity in providing a service like renting a motel six or
a or a mary room, whatever. There's no creativity involved public accommodation law.
The Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four would prohibit done so. The
Constitution reigned supreme when it comes to freedom of speech and freedom to practice your
religion. Through the Fourteenth Amendment, a state cannot require Laurie Smith to violate
her firmly held religious beliefs. And very simple number two. In the Harvard
unc University of North Carolina race discrimination case, Beginning in eighteen sixty eight,
when the fourteenth Amendment was passed, all citizens have equal protection of the law,
and between then and the nineteen seventies, which was appeared a little over
one hundred years, race discrimination was wrong. Was it practiced all the time,
it's illegal. You can't do it. That. There should not be
one set of laws for folks and another set of laws for Asians or white
Americans or Hispanic or Indigenous people. So race discrimination was always suspect. Classification
had to be narrowly tailored. It's a suit and fit a particular purpose.
And so in this case, it was obvious that one's race had a lot
to do with being admitted to college. So it's not unusual to say,
after, you know, since eighteen sixty eight, and since the Backet decision
of what nineteen seventy eight, so even that's been about forty five years,
and since the Brown versus the Board of Education nineteen fifty four, you know,
separate but equal one out the window. At some point you have to
say that race discrimination is wrong. The way to stop racism is to stop
using race to make decisions. Very simple, It is simply wrong to use
race to make any important decision. And so when ABC News this Morning,
Jonathan carl and otherwise had pulling that indicate by a wide margin, Americans supported
the race discrimination case because Americans understand that the color of your skin should not
trump the merit and the quality in the character that you have, so so
be it. In reaction, Charles Barkley said today he's going to donate five
million dollars to Auburn, the home of the Tigers, following the Supreme Court
of Fermative Action ruling it's fine. Barkley is going to leave five million dollars
to Auburn and hopes of keeping his alma mater diverse. Have added. I'm
going to spend time with Kevin Jackson of the Black Sphere that Kevin Jackson Network
dot Com later on in this show to talk about his reaction as a black
man to being treated equally. It used to be equal. Now it's starting
a race with some ten yards from the any line to start with, and
that's wrong. Race should not assist you. There should be no punishment and
there should be no benefit. Much like gay Americans, I think you're born
that way and I want nothing bad ever to happen to someone who's gay.
LGBTQ plus live your life. You shouldn't get a benefit and you shouldn't get
a cost. Everyone treat it the same, that's the goal. Does it
always happen? Absolutely not. Individual acts of prejudice take place all the time
everywhere it happens, and it's unfortunate. LGBTQ individuals should be treated equally with
anyone else. And if someone says, who's maybe, I'm sure there's gay
web designers out there, And if somebody would show up to their office saying
I want you to design and creatively put together a website, and by the
way, I want to put swastikas, and I hate gay people, and
I want some reference to the fact that the effort can be used to describe
by gay misconduct. Now that gay web designer can say, you know what,
my freedom of speech rights would be violated if I had to creatively have
a website that I put together against my freedom of speech principles. I'm not
going to do it. Until this decision that a gay web designer could not
do that. Now that person, maybe a lesbian or a gay mail or
someone bisexual, can say, you know what, I'm not going to creatively
put together a website that I disagree with. I'm not going to do that.
A black person who's a web designer can now say to a white racist
coming there, I want you to put together a website using the ku Klux
Klan, robes, etc. That black guy can say, you know what,
I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to use my freedom
of speech rights. That violates my principles and I'm not going to do it.
It applies to everyone equally, That's my point. And lastly about student
loan forgiveness, really it's a misnomer. There's not student loan forgiveness. It's
transferring the duty to pay to someone else who maybe did not go to college.
Yours truly went to Zavi University in Cincinnati, a greade school, on
a baseball scholarship. I took out some student loans, paid him off once
University of to lead a law school and didn't have a scholarship. Of course,
to law school, I worked eight to four every day in court as
a bailiff, went to law school at night six pm to ten pm.
Worked my bones off. Loved it. Do it again at a heartbeat.
Penny and I have often said, well, would we go back in time
and start all over again? Absolutely? I loved it. I didn't know
what the time my great it was, but I had student loans that I
paid off. Biden wanted to allow about forty million followers to skip repayment of
twenty thousand each, costing the treasury four hundred billion dollars. Opponent said the
scope and inherent unfairness of forcing other taxpayers, many of whom like myself who
paid their way through college or law school, to cover the debts of others,
made no sense. In fact, popularity wise, most Americans say that
race discrimination is wrong. The color of your skin should not give you a
benefit or a cost. Most Americans say, except those getting the direct benefit,
that you should pay your own debts. And most Americans say that the
freedom of speech and the freedom of practice your religion. The Laurie Smiths of
the Sword from Colorado makes sense, but not if you watch and listen to
the media in this country. They're all on one side of the equation.
Court limits gay rights. No, it doesn't. It upholds the First Amendment.
It upholds religious freedom. It would be great if CBS News would have
come out with the headline freedom of religion is upheld, freedom of speech exists,
But they don't do it that way. They put their thumb on the
scales of reporting to make it look as if the US Supreme Court's limiting gay
rights when it is not doing that at all, just the opposite. They're
upholding the freedom of speech. And when it comes to student loans, we
used to have a society in which there were three branches of government. And
Biden, if he can remember, took an oath of office to faithfully execute
the laws. In other words, he's gonna execute the laws given to him
by the Congress interpreted by the US Supreme Court. He's going against his own
oath of office by fighting decisions of the US Supreme Court that he disagrees with.
So what, it's your job. The only person in America who has
to faithfully execute the laws is Joe Biden, and he's doesn't want to do
it, wants to come up with some other mechanism or angle shot to discor
regard his oath of office. All So let's continue call some Las Vegas and
Palm Beach, Florida and Iowa calling me. I've been called worse Paul from
Idaho, and Eddie and Bill and Williamsburg, Ohio and Bill and another Bill
thousands on hold, and I applaud the US Supreme Court. I guess there'll
be more threats of violence. I guess the radical left or we'll talk about
packing the court again, because when decisions go their way, such as the
immigration case. Guess what, that's a wise decision by the Supreme Court when
it goes against their constituency groups. Let's packed the court, get rid of
the court threatened the court. It's awfully sad. No, the Court did
not limit gay rights. The Court upheld religious freedom. Let's continue thousands on
hold. And the Supreme Court favors freedom over governmental action. And almost every
time you have a governmental action infringing freedom of speech or freedom of religion,
almost every time freedom of religion wins. And this time, once again,
our individual rights have been upheld. In God bless America. Fifteen minutes after
the hour, Bill Cunning of the Great American with you and all other great
Americans every Sunday night. Hi, I'm doctor James Right, a Right Dental
Center, Cincinnati and Cold Spring Right Dental Values, every grain of tooth in
your mouth. Once it's gone. Let me share with you one or two
thoughts on what he said about the web designer Neil Gorse had said in this
case, Colorado seeks to force a person to speak in ways that aligns with
its views, but defy her conscience about a matter of major significance. Tolerance,
not coercion, is our nation's answer the First Amendment and visions the United
States is a rich and complex place where all persons are free to think and
speak as they wish, not as the government demands. Because Colorado seeks to
deny that promise, the judgment is reversed. Bingo, the state of Colorado
said you will speak in this fashion, and you will violate your religion in
order to make a commission, and that is under the fourteenth Amendment, at
a minimum, is unconstitutional. You can't do that. The state, the
government, the city. This isn't a private employer demanding it. This is
the state telling a web designer that you will do this act even though,
Laurie Smith, it violates your religious principles. So court limits gay rights,
not exactly. How about saying the court upholds religious freedom or the First Amendment
lives. Those would have been accurate headlines. I wish nothing ill toward any
gay person, anyone who has different sexual appetites. I'm a practicing heterosexual.
I do not want race discrimination against her in favor of Asians, white Americans,
or Black Americans or anyone. That's the goal. Does sins and crimes
happen? Absolute, But the goals got to be a colorblind society, which
is the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. And the dream of all great
Americans. All, let's continue in your calls. I will hear from the
American people tonight, getting ready for the fourth of July. Bill counting in
the Great American with you and all other great Americans every Sunday. What if
you could build a six figure retirement income with almost half the money saved?
You heard that right? Get a discount on your retirement creating a six figure

I'm Brett Kitchen, best selling author and starting a new Hollywood documentary called

It gives you more retirement income with the same dollars saved, and your
money is never at risk if the market crashes. That's right. If the
market crashes thirty percent, you lose nothing, even people who are on track.

No, I'm Billy Cunningham, many Asians said quote, I am an Asian
American and I have a dream too, Judge, made by the content of
my character, not the skin color. So many liberals Jamal Hill used to
be on ESPN said quote, can't wait till she reads that you gladly carried
the water for white supremacy and stabbed the folks in the back whose people fought
diligently for Asian American rights in America. Well, I don't know what the
hell that means, but I know at some point, whether it's twenty twenty
three or twenty three or twenty forty three, we've got to get rid and
dismantle the idea that race counts as a benefit or a cost to any person,
because so many Americans today are multiracial. In fact, I believe I'm
five percent African, So what the heck? There's lots of Cunninghams and among
black folks, and I'm proud of that heritage of mine. Also, it's
okay, merit is what matters, not skin color. But you know,
and lastly, I ain't gonna go to Jim and I. Lastly, it
is not what you think that Democrats couldn't care less about the conditions that their
greatest voters are in in the major cities that they control. I could not
imagine a worse place for a black citizen to live than in Baltimore. How
many people were shot on Saturday night, like thirty or forty people were shot,
or Chicago had some flooding, so that meant there was probably less shootings.
But the system put together by liberals to enslave Black Americans and a new
kind of a plantation is unbelievable. The great majority of black folks, whether
it's New York or Portland or LA or Cincinnati or Nashville or Memphis, want
to live in peace and quiet. The one percent among them is destroying their
society, much like in LA the less than one percent of the homeless population
and the drug addicts destroyed for the other. If Democrats really cared about black
folks, the schools would function, the police would be supported, there'd be
little crime being committed, and jobs would be everywhere. But that's not the
case. They keep looking for classic diversions to blame others for the failures of
their policies, including the lack of formation of a family. And so when
you give Joe Biden, who's been a who's been a state at racist for
most of his political career, the comments he's made about about African Americans over
the years, just as google it. It's unbelievable what he said about black
folks, Joe Biden. But but nonetheless it's keeping their core voters satisfied with
the died tribe and the principle not based upon fact. So if in Chicago,
Memphis, Saint Louis, you literally have decades and decades of complete democratic
control by the Liberal Democratic Party, and like thirty people are shot in Baltimore
on Saturday night and it appears only black folks were shot, and the first
thing they complain about Liberals are guns. That's like blaming a spoon when you
overeat. I don't think that. I don't think it's a spoon's fault.
It's like blaming a car if someone is drunk driving. To blame Ford for
drunk d It's not the spoon's fault that you weigh three hundred pounds. It
is not the car's fault when you drunk drive it's not the gun's fault when
it's used for wrongful purposes. But that's the way it is in democratically controlled
areas, blaming others constantly for the failure of their own policies. So right
now, the Supreme Court said, you know, the way to stop racism
is to stop racism. The way to stop discrimination is to stop discriminating.
Very simple. And one more example that I go to the horse. I
academically, the Great American was a seed, a C plus student at best
at Deer Park High School. If somebody had plucked me up because of the
color of my skin and said we're gonna put you and Yale when I'm academically
not prepared to do so, that doesn't benefit me at all. When I
graduated from Xavier with a C plus, I had a two point four average.
If somebody had said to me, hey, because you're an Irish American
and because you have some black blood in you, guess what, We're gonna
send you to Harvard Law School, I would have said, what, No,
Well, I'm going to Harvard and someone else going to I'll go,
and then when I fail, I'll blame everything but myself for my failures.
Academically, each of us belong in an environment that causes the greater probability of
success. So I went to University of Toledo, barely got in. I
finished it quite well. I've took the bar exam. I finished third or
fourth in the state of Ohio taking the bar exam. It took me till
I was like married and twenty five years old before things clicked. You know,
boys and men don't grow up to the twenty five or thirty. In
my case, it took till I was twenty five years old and it clicked.
Then I did quite well, thank you. But to put someone ill
equipped into an academic environment doesn't benefit them or anyone else. If one wants
to say, okay, we're gonna take the top ten percent of a class
if they're ready to go. Okay. But there's so much, so much
racism and sexism practiced by liberals today that I can't recognize reality. Sometimes let's
go to the calls. We got Jim and I. Let's go to him
first. Jim and Ioway, you told Danny boy I'm a fool. Please
explain, okay, I'll try to be quick on this. Explain straighten something
out you said that homosexuals are born that way. God says they're depraved.
They degrade their bodies among themselves. Their abomination will not cohare to keep of
God. It is a behavior. Are fornicains, adulters, murders, liars?
Thieves? Are they born that way? If they were born that way,
God would not be fitting into hell unless they repair So once you get
all your heroes, this is Swift Brooks, the pervert, Michael Jackson and
whoever that Elton John. They're all filthy perverts and they're your heroes. I
used to like to listen to you, mister cunning him, but you know
a lot. I can't stand you anymore. Jim. Let me respond to
you. They're not my heroes. I do not consider them persons I want
to identify with, and my view the greatest singers of our time can be
different type of individuals. They're not my heroes. You have to change what
I said to fit inside your small, bigoted mind. I never did say
the heroes to take the holosexuals and about God says they're depraved? Are they
depraved? Are they bodied degrading? What do you say to that? Mister?
Don't change the subject. Jim judge, not less they be judged,
And the Good Book said judge. God already judged him. Would Jim judged
them? And I'm giving you his judgment? Jim, I'm asking this,
if you're a gay man or a lesbian woman, what punishment should society in
your view inflict upon them? We don't have to do it. God's gonna
say. Oh, I understand that, mister Cunningham. You understand that,
mister Jim. Answer the question, don't change it. Now. We're live
in a civil society and a civic society. What punishment should society in your
view inflict upon a gay man? I'll leave it up to God. I
know you know God's viewpoints, but I'm asking again, would you allow him?
Would you allow him to allow him adopting little kids? You allow someone
like that to vote? Would you allow them to hold a job? Would
you allow them to travel? What punishment would you inflict? Since you have
God's ear? What punishment would you inflict upon a gay person? I just
told you one one. I would not let him adopt little kids are depraved.
Who knows what they're going to do to him? You understand that?
Would you if you have any little kids, Would you trust them that you
take a chance to leave alone with a couple of perverts, Jim, Jim,
I think heterosexuals have completely screwed the institution and marriage up completely. And
if civil society says they can marry, and they can get together, and
they can attend certain events, and I have no problem with that. And
Jim, your viewpoints are perverted and wrong, and you're out of here,
goodbye. I want no harm to be inflicted on upon the person who is
a homosexual or a gay person. I want none of that. Live and
let live judge, not less thee be judged. The hatred and anger in
your voice is despicable. Let's continue, Let's go to Joe Hann and Florida.
Joe Hann, go ahead and join the Billing M Show. I'm sorry,
go ahead. Yeah. I was thinking about this whole situation of Trump
running now the Democratic Party isn't going to let him win again, and I
like to Santos and I like the Democratic Robert Kennedy Junior, and I was
thinking that the whole country could come together if you could get to Santos running
for president, and he would take Robert Kennedy as his vice presidential warning date,
And I just was wondering what you thought about that plan. Well,
I don't think RFK could ever get through any Republican convention. He's in favor
of abortion on demand, he's in favor of opening up the southern border.
His few points, About half his view points in COVID nineteen the vaccination I
agree with, about half I do not agree with. And RFK could never
get through a Republican convention. My dream ticket if Trump could be electable,
I'm with him because he would change things. If he can't be elected,
or if he's indicted, de Santis or Scott just pick one, pick any
of them. Because if Joe Biden's denominee, almost anyone would beat him except
maybe Donald Trump couldn't beat him because of one hundred count indictment about to come
his way. And I just I think we're in a terrible pickle right now,
and I wish it would be different. Let's take a short break,
and I would say to my friend in Iowa that you know what, I
have libertarian viewpoints, and there's a separation in my view of church and state,
a separation, as the US Supreme Court often says, there's a separation
between church and state. I'm a practicing Roman Catholic and damn proud of it.
I do not want my Roman Catholic viewpoints imposed upon the United States of
America anymore that I would want Jewish viewpoints impost or Muslim viewpoints impost. And
we were found as a Jeneo Christian nation. But the separation of church and
state to me and is terribly vitally important. I think if you're an atheist,
I would vote for an atheistic conservative every day of the week rather than
a so called liberal Catholic like a Chuck Schumer or a Nancy Pelosi. I
would do that every day of the week. I would vote for an atheist
who was conservative over a liberal Catholic or a liberal Jew. I would vote
for the atheist and a heartbeat and Jim is called the separation of church and
state. You have your viewpoints. I know you have God Almighty in your
ear telling you what's going to happen to those who commit sins in your opinion,
but in reality, separation of church and state different different completely. I
want atheist and those who have different viewpoints than I have to fully participate inside
the American way of life and have all the rights, duties and obligations as
anyone else. When we continue, I want you to hear about what liberals
are saying in law schools and more. Bill Cunningham, the Great American Loud,
Proud, and Sessey with you every Sunday night. Get your tickets now
dot com for twenty three to show you how liberals operate. Berkeley Lawdan Erwin
Schemerinsky appear to claim that he secretly discriminates when the hiring faculty for the sake
of diversity. He's in charge of University of California at Berkeley Lawdan you can
imagine his political viewpoints. On Thursday, one of his students captured the dean
of the Berkeley Law School explaining how he secretly enacted a policy of race discrimination
in faculty hiring, which is illegal. He said, quote, if if
I'm ever deposed, I'm going to deny. I said this to you unt
now the words under oath I'm gonna lie and commit perjury. Here are the
words. Thursday afternoon of Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Schemerinsky, dealing with the
issue of race discrimination in the state of California. Danny Gleason hid it.
See what I mean by unstated it from inaction is what if the college university
doesn't tell anybody, doesn't make any public statements. But I'll give you an
example from our law school. But if ever I'm deposed, I'm going tony.
I said this to you. When we do faculty hiring, we're quite
conscious that diversity is important to us, and we say diversity is important.
It's fine to say that, but I'm very careful, and we have a
faculty appointment's coming any meaning. Anytime somebody says, you know, we should
really prefer this Canada to this Canada because this person would have diversities, don't
say that. You can think it, you can vote it, but our
discussions are not privileged. So don't ever articulate that that's what you're doing.
Well, that works were easily with regard to faculty hiring, with regard to
student missions, because we're difficult because of a statistical measure. So what the
dean is saying is that in nineteen ninety six, when California barred affirmative action
and hiring any public employment, public education, and public contracting, since then,
all the University of California colleges have secretly violated the law. And one
of the saddest things there about the dean of the law school, he it
just admits, I'm going to lie in a deposition. Now what's a deposition.
It's a sworn statement, which forms the basis of our criminal justice civil
justice system is to make sure we have accurate information upon which to make an
informed decision. So when the dean of the law school says, look,
no emails, no text messaging, just between your ears hire someone who may
not be as qualified because of the color of their skin. We all know
that's illegal. So in a deposition, I'm gonna lie. And that's Edwin
Schemerinsky, who's the dean of the law schools teaching as his students to commit
perjury. So the truth is not known. That essentially is what we're dealing
with here now. When contacted by Fox Digital, he said he was you
know, someone took the opportunity to record what I have said, etc.
And you know they shouldn't have done that whatsoever. It's affirmative action is illegal.
Of course, it's illegal. It's really when California has been illegal for
a quarter of a century. But it's routinely practiced anyway because of the viewpoints
of the dean of the Berkeley Law School. How about diversity of viewpoint,
which is what the law professor had at Ohio Northern University, diversity of viewpoint.
So there's only one form of diversity in the minds of liberals, that
is racial diverse city. What about viewpoint diversity? That's not acceptable. So
here you have the dean of a law school encouraging lying under oath and civil
or criminal proceeding. The end justifies the means. My god, are we
in trouble? You knew it was there, and there's the proof, so
let's continue. The line becomes available eight six six six four seven, seven
three three seven. Judge not less they be judged the golden rule. Treat
others as you would like to be treated. We live in not a theocracy.
We live in a civil society where we must be civil to individuals who
have different sexual orientations, different ways of looking at things, diversity of opinion.
If you want to hire someone who's black at UC Berkeley, would you
ever hire Clarence Thomas or Kevin Jackson or Walter Williams or someone from Project twenty
one? I don't think so. So race is only used on occasion as
long as the end justifies the means with a particular liberal viewpoint. It is
sad when those in charge of educating the law students, the judges of the
future act like this Dean acted, and act like they act at Stanford College
of Law. It is extremely sad, but that's what we're dealing with.
Stay tuned for more coming up next will be better not have Taylor Swift on.

the good stuff. I'm Jacob Schick, a third generation I fully cunning him
the great American. Of course, whenever I think of a great American holiday,
especially the fourth of July. This is Sunday night, July second,
the fourth of July weekend, the first thing I think about is Scott Powell
rediscovering America, and he has several indications, whether it's Christmas or Thanksgiving or
Labor Day, Memorial Day, whatever it might be, that kind of ties
that event, why it existed, how it exists, and why it's relevant
today to the lives of Americans. And like many, I think we're closed
to a nineteen sixty eight type situation where it's ugly, public schools don't educate,
southern border is wide open, we have a mentally dysfunctional president. The
Supreme Court issued those three I think great opinions a few days ago, and
the left one absolutely nuts. But if you're in your family, want to
read a book that is short, written well for busy people. It's great
for parents and grandparents to read to their kids and grandkids. Great for homeschoolers
if you're a homeschooler, and the book uncovers little known facts that reveal high
and why America was established with me that City on the Hill a shining example.
The name of that book is Rediscovering America. It's everywhere. Once again,
Scott Powell on this fourth of July weekend, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham
Show. And first I want to get your reaction to those three US Supreme
Court decisions a few days ago in which the individual was given presidents over groups
or state laws when it conflicts with the US Constitution. And tell us why
those decisions fit nicely inside your book, Rediscovering America. They fit so well
in the book because of these decisions reaffirmed the Constitution and the power of the
Constitution. You know, most of our problems today are a result of deviating
from the Constitution. The Constitution provides the really the framework for keeping our country
together, for mitigating corruption, three branches of government. And really, when
you think about you think about what was accomplished in the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution. We are the first country in all of human history wherein the
primary role of the government was to protect the God given unalienable rights of the
people. Yeah, the function of the government is to protect the rights of
the people, the rights of the people to be free, to be creative,
to be able to pursue their dreams. And secondly, what was unique
about our constitution is the checks and balances that were put in place through branches
of government, each checking each other. And then we have a federal system
where states and the federal government have to compete. All of this is necessary
because we are not saints. We have sin and fallen nature, and government
can be easily corrupted. So we have a system that mitigated that. Unfortunately
we've sort of gone off track here. And thirdly, we have a system
wherein the people give the legitimacy to the government. I call this for granted,
but this is remarkable in human history, you know, Scott Powell.
There was one woman in Colorado who was a web designer for marriages, who
was a devout Christian who thought she had free speech rights, and she didn't
deny I want to speak or create a website that conflicted with her religious principles,
and the left one through months and months and months of in depth research
to make sure she was in fact a Christian, and a turnout that she
was. And this one person raised her hand in Colorado and said, I
object to this Colorado law that would require that I violate my free speech slash
religious freedom rights, and I'm going to go all the way to the United
States Supreme Court. One person can do that. Isn't that the beauty of
our country that one person, given individual rights by the Constitution, can stop
the entire state of Colorado. It's phenomenal, it really is. And really,
our courts now are the one branch of the you know, probably the
most important branch at the present time in checking the abuse of government. So
thank goodness that we have a good court. And we have to give credit
to Donald Trump. He appointed three justices that have ruled so constitutionally in favor
of the people. That's what it's about. It's not we don't want to
protect you know, the elites, the government elites. We want to protect
the people. That's the function of the government. And I love what I
don't love it. I hated what the media did, and that is the
headlines were Supreme Court limits gay protections and that is nothing. Explain why that
is a farce for the media to jump on the side of those who opposed
freedom of speech and freedom of religion. And the media showed us their ass
when it came to a headline such as Supreme Court limits LGBTQ protections. That
is not the case. Explain why, Well, it's not the case because
I'm we have a you know, we have a market system. We have
providers of all you know, of all different beliefs, all different stripes,
and It's not as though the people seeking to get creative work done be they
you know, be they gay or LGBTQ, whatever. There are plenty of
providers that can serve that need. But there are a few we would like
to think there would be many, uh that would say, well, I
believe in upholding God's values, and so I'm not going to I'm not going
to create a website or do creative work that go against my values. How
about that? And one person said, well, well, one might argue,
which by this point, giving money to a political candidate is speech.
Create creative work as speech. But if somebody says I don't want to provide
chairs to or I don't want to rent a haul to a gay couple for
a marriage, that doesn't apply to them because there wasn't creativity or each involved.
In her case, she had to use her creative to create a website
and the gay couple that no gay couple actually came to her. It was
a declaratory judgment that the court accepted she had standing in. And so I
would not want to go back previous to title seven and talk about accommodation is
not available to black folks because a white racist motel owner would say, you
know what, I don't want to I don't want to lease or rent to
someone who's black. That does not apply. That is different because there's no
speech involved in public accommodations. But there is speech involved because of creativity.
And that's the difference. Now on the race discrimination front with Harvard and UNC,
the court ruled six to three that actually the equal protection clause of the
fourteenth Amendment, which has passed like an eighteen sixty eight, applies today because
if one favors one race over another, that is race discrimination. That is
prohibited by the Constitution and almost every statute. You can't do that. And
so in these two cases, the Harvard case and Laurie Smith's case, the
Christian web designer, once again the court upheld the Constitution, upheld the Declaration
of Independence, upheld the idea that we're all created equally. Now it's up
to us. Well, you amaze. That's the media reaction to the race
discrimination case of Harvard and UNC. And I saw many Asian students carrying signs
that said, I am somebody, Asian student, I am somebody. What
did you find remarkable about the race discrimination case? Well, you know,
Bill that I wasn't surprised about the media reaction in the media. The media,
the media in America is as Donald Trump has described them. They are
fake and they you almost they're almost a contrary indicator of what is true.
So when that went here in unison for something, you better believe that the
truth lies in the opposite direction, no question. Now, let's get to
your central point today. Why is your book Rediscovering America particularly appropriate to homeschoolers
and those who want to connect to holidays to American values expressed in the Constitution.
Why is that a particularly good this weekend time to reflect upon that.
Well, this is the July fourth weekend, and you know, too many
Americans underappreciate the meaning of holidays such as July fourth. We also call it
Independence Day. Now, everyone connects fireworks with the firing of cannons in the
Revolutionary War, but most people forget that when the fifty six members of the
Continental Congress agreed to put pen to parchment and affirm the Declaration of Independence on
July fourth, seventeen seventy six, they all knew that being a signatory to
that document put a death threat on their heads as traitors to bring. In
other words, these fifty six founding fathers were willing to give their lives that
America could be a free and independent country. Wow, and think about that,
because Scott in those days, there wasn't a welfare state, there wasn't
free Obama phones. For someone to step up in seventeen seventy six and in
seventeen eighty seven, that's the Constitution and Declaration and say you know what,
I'm here, I have assets, I can be literally destroyed. I'm willing
to do this for my country. How powerful was that? How much of
a risk was that? It was huge? But it goes on. You
know, the War of Independence was in its second year. By July seventeen
seventy six, the war had been going on for about a year and George
Washington's ragtag colonial armony was about half the size of the highly trained professional British
army and the German mercenary troops that they had hired who were fighting for them.
Additionally, Washington's army was it was undertrained, was under equipped, it
was underfunded, and the naval mismatch was even greater at the outset of the
war. In fact, in the first year of the war, the Continental
Navy had less than ten converted merchant ships, while the British amass two hundred
and fifty dedicated warships that had you know, cannons on three decks and many
of them, and they were concentrated along the coastline and in porce between Delaware
Bay and Boston. So think about this, I mean, things look pretty
grim for the Patriot cost, don't they. Graham impossible, And you sent
me a note about the Second American Revolution? Why today, Why do we
need a second American Revolution based upon the principles of the first? Well,
you know, you know we're up against. What we're up against now is
unlike anything we've ever counter or experienced. You know, it has the potential
of being more bloody than the Civil War and more threatening than both world wars.
We face basically within our country an army of traders, a trader class,
domestic enemies working behind the scenes and in the shadow. They're dividing our
country, destroying our freedom, our democratic republic, our sovereignty, our Judeo
Christian values, our morality, the family unit, our culture, and even
monuments to American heroes. Remember what happened and just three years ago how all
all monuments were coming down. There was a reason why that happened. We
are really in the midst of a communist revolutions and then we don't even talk
about how we're being spent into oblivion. I mean, it's just incredible.
Economically, the debt based economy of the United States is now a house of
cards. The US has never experienced a trillion dollar deficit until Bomba's first year
in two thousand and nine, and then trillion dollars deficits continued for three more
consecutive years and increased to over three trillion in twenty twenty due to the COVID
pandemic. And you know, with the US economy averaging two percent GDP annual
growth rate while the debt growth rate is averaging about eight percent annually, the
United States current debt birden of thirty two trillion will double to sixty four trillion
in just nine years. That means that they already risky one hundred and twenty
five percent debt to GDP ratio today. That's what we have today. We
have one hundred and twenty five percent debt compared to our productivity, our GDP.
It would become calamitous at a two hundred percent ratio. So you know,
what we're facing is a currency or at US debt collapse. And that
just is economically. If we talk about militarily, my gosh, you know,
we're the primary back of Ukraine and what's at a proxy war with Russia.
While China admits to being engaged in unrestricted war against US. They are
enemy and we can't we can't successfully find a two front war. And if
we lose that war, it would mean defeat, right and where will that
put the United States? And politically we're more divided than we've been since the
Civil War. So we've got these problems on all these fronts. And you
know, the answer to it all really is a moral, spiritual, cultural
revival. And you know, a powerful force that swept through the colonies,
you know, in the Great Awakening. And know a lot of people don't
realize how in the world were these thirteen colonies are going to get together?
They had no I mean, they didn't have telegraphed, let alone what we
have today. They couldn't communicate these thirteen separate colonies. We're going to take
on the on the greatest military power in the war world, when in fact
they didn't. They couldn't even talk to each other. They were all separate.
Well, you know, God arrange for a great awakening to happen.
George Whitfield, Jonathan Edwards created this amazing spiritual revival that connected all the American
people together. And that's really what we need today. If we have a
revival, and it doesn't have to take a particular you know, you know
God, Remember people think in terms of Christianity as as churches, you know,
institutions. Jesus Christ didn't have a church. He had relationships with people.
And you know that's what we need today. People need to get connected
with each other, connected with the values that have made our country great,
that enable us to raise our kids and pursue our dreams and be creative.
This is this is, this is all being threatened now. Well, it
worries me. I mean I'm more worried. Of course nineteen I wasn't around,
of course in the nineteen thirty two, But in nineteen sixty eight I
felt as if America was tearing itself apart. But that is nothing compared to
what's happening today. Because financially, the debt will consume us. All we
know in a family, what happens when the credit cards are maxed out and
the foreclosure has been filed and you're kicked out on the streets. That's going
to happen to the United States of America, Scott pall I tell you what,
Rediscovering America, I can endorse that that book more. How we have
about a thirty forty seconds remaining. How do we get How do families across
America order that? Get it? For parents, grandparents? How how do
Americans get Rediscovering America? You're calling for a second American Revolution based on the
principles of the first. How that's right? Yes, if we have the
right kind of peaceful revolution, we can avoid the violence and the kind of
craziness that we got a taste of that three years ago after the George Floyd,
the tragic George Floyd death, we had a crazy outbreak of violence in
our country and it was supported the media. CNN said it was mainly peaceful.
But the book is Rediscovering America. Scott Powell. I love having you
on during holiday weekends and connecting it to the past. The President of the
future gotta run. Scott Powell once again you're a great American. The book
is Rediscovering America, and thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Scott. I promise we'll do it again. Thank you, Thank you,
Bill. God bless you. Thank God bless you. Let's continue. God,

take on what happened in the race discrimination case involving Harvard and unsee goes insipidly.
The liberals believe that blocks cannot be expected to perform as well academically as
other racial groups. That is an insidious form of racism that most Americans absolutely
reject. But also coming up later is author of a new book about the
defending freedom things of that character. It's going to be interesting how this thing
plays out, because, let's face it, we have to live in a
society where the color of your skin doesn't cost you anything, nor does it
give you a benefit. Let's get on with marriage. Let's continue with more

been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not one, but two prestigious
Mark Coney Awards for he is broadcast excellence, the one and only Bill Cunninghead
Kevin Jackson, and his website is fabulous Kevin Jackson Network dot Com and I
have it up now. But welcome to the Bell Cunningham Show. What's your
reaction to the US Supreme Court and the six to three vote saying that African
Americans can perform adequately and equally with other races. What's your thought on that
when it first came out the shocker Man, I didn't realize that black people
could perform black white people. Bill, So I'm gonna just put the word
out to my family that, uh, you know, we're able to keep
up with why folks. By the way, my oldest son, my three
boys graduated from Wharton, the Southern Methodist University, which is my home or
mater, and the University of Texas all three mag nacoomb Lottie graduates. Oh
no, oh no, Yeah, So apparently they found some white guy to
do their work while they were college under tightful man. Some Chinese guy probably
was paid. But to me, the whole essence of this is not because
of the vestiges of slavery and the and the aroma that continues to float around
that whole issue that you can't expect some black girl to compete with a white
or Asian girl because of the color of their skin, and that adam finitum,
going into the future, there must be some unfair advantage given because of
skin color. I guess Tiger Woods boy and a girl needs a whole bunch
of work. I guess the children of Michael Jordan can't compete. There's thousands
and thousands of black millions in the country and the majority of black folks are
in now in the middle class. And I guess the argument is, at
what point does it stop? Well, it stops when black people wake up
and understand that when the meritocracy existed, we had some of the brightest minds
in the country, and we had some of the most amazing people. And
I we always translated to sports, you know, we translated to Jack Johnson,
Jesse Owens, Joe Louis are at their ash and many other black first
that did certain things. But in academia we were the same way we were
the HBCUs and the various schools that Tuskegee. Tuskegee could compete with MIT had
it kept going the way that it was going. The problem is is that
leftists and liberals at the time, they call themselves liberals, but they're leftists.
They decided to this story the black community to take away that incentive to
be the best. I mean that drove people from I was raised by my
grandparents. But my grandparents, let me tell you their generation. You represented
blacks. I don't care who you were. If you did something bad,
everybody jumped you because you were representative of black people. And we were the
most trusted, safest people on the planet. We our job. When we
did a job, it was considered sacer sink. Nobody could touch it.
And so now what you have is these people that want black people to feel
inferior. The government has to do it, or we got an affirmative action
or whatever. So you go in now and we have but it. I'm
cleaning it up for the language. But we don't do the job the way
we used to. There's no sense of pride that, hey, this had
the hands of a black man on it, the way Jackie Robinson approached his
job in baseball, where he said, look, I may want to behave
a particular way, and they and the white folks that hate me may want
me to behave a particular way, but I won't do it because I carry
all the black on my shoulders. So when that went away, we as
a culture we started to decline. And let me tell you, the people,
the black people that remember what I remember, are slowly dying away.
And who's taken over race pimps? Now it's everything's a complaint. Oh my
gosh. If even when you commit a crime like Michael Brown Junior, people
want to bill shrines for you. But you commit crimes like George Floyd where
you're passing a twenty dollar bill, you're a dough pit and people want to
make you a hero in our community. This is insane, and this is
the first step in Black's having to say, Okay, I'm gonna go to
college. I'm gonna earn my way. And it's the great doctor Thomas Soul
said, go to the college that fits you best, so that you're not
rushing yourself. Don't try to be IVY League. If you're not Ivy League.
You can become IVY League if you learn it from somebody who's going to,
you know, teach you that it doesn't have to happen at this very
minute. And that's our problem. We wanted right away. We look at
it this way. I look at what happened in Chicago and after Lor Lightfoot
and a black guy ran to the left of LORI lightfoot and there's no room
out there. I live in Cincinnati, and we went through a period of
time here the last two years where half a city council was indicted taking bags
of cash, free airplane flights all over the world from developers. Two of
them are in prison, one or two about to go to prison. And
so when the election took place in the middle of all this going on,
the Democrats and the little city of Cincinnati put the same Democratic party with different
characters in charge of the city, with the same results. In the city
of Chicago or Los Angeles. Even when the mayors fail in these cities and
council members go to prison for crimes committed in office, the Democrat Party puts
up new characters, new faces, to occupy these positions, and they still
get elected by wide margins. Why is yeah, Well, that's what speaks
to speaks to the system, that speaks to the system, that speaks to
the system that Donald Trump's complaining about. That Republicans don't want to recognize that
there's cheating in election and elections, and there's so much cheating and elections in
the cities that you dare not run as a Republican. Ask you, I
don't know anything about Cincinnati politics, but here's what I'll bet you. I
bet you in many of the races that happened inside of that city there was
not a single Republican candidate, I'll bet you. And the reason why I
can bet you that is because in almost every other city where I've done this
little experiment, they come back and go, Nope, not a single Republican
candidate because you can't get elected. Well, guess the only thing that has
to happen is Number one, the Republicans have to say we're going to run
somebody there, even though we know that theoretically they shouldn't win, and we're
gonna put the effort behind it to expose these people and give another another choice.
In number two, we're going to actually address election integrity, and we're
going to make sure that people understand that there's no way the people of Chicago,
as an example, would want to I mean, would want Lori Lightsfoot
much less the guy the clown who replaced her. Imagine that year after year,
decade after decade, black folks keep in power. The Democratic Party that
have the worst public schools in Saint Louis, Baltimore, Imagine Portland, Oregon,
LA, Chicago, Cincinnati, It's awful. The public schools in Washington,
DC stink year after year, decade after decade, half century after half
century, the same characters. No educational achievement. You can't find a good
job in any major American city if you come out of the high schools.
According to the testing results, the kids come out incapable of reading at the
grade level. It's rare. Plus the crime is rampant, and so it's
at some point Kevin Jackson's fair to say, it's like the Stockholm syndrome in
which the captors take on the attributes of their of their oppressors, that the
blursing is through Stockholm. There's some Stockholm syndrome there. But I think the
real issue is competent people have left. They say, you know what,
if you guys want to kill each other, you want to have all that
that crime going on, crime in the cities, you want to have all
this corruption that's happening in your government. Why would I, as a Republican
want to come in and, as Thomas soul said, get between a man
and his money. Why would I want to come in and fix it when
everybody in the food chain is getting their cut. It reminds me of my
time in Africa, in various countries in Africa, where literally from the moment
you land, depending up on what country you're in, the grift begins.
Some guys you gotta pay five bucks to other guys, you pay fifty bucks
to other guys, you pay five hundred bucks to other you pay five thousand
two. It's a food chain of corruption, and you know where you fit
in the food chain based on how much the bribe has to be. But
here's the beauty of Africa. When it comes to that, it's open.
They tell you exactly, I'm the five dollar guy, I'm the ten dollars
guy, I'm a twenty dollar guy. I'm one hundred dollar guy. And
whatever you're gonna get, and I'm talking about things as basic as I need
a permit. You go get your two dollars permit, but you're gonna pay
twenty bucks to get it expedited or to make it happen. But at least
they're honest about their grift here. They're not honest about it. They pretend
that we know that we're all America, so you know, we're looking to
solve problems and we're gonna take care of corruption in Ukraine and everywhere else,
when in fact, we are the most corrupt country on the planet, and
we're getting robbed not two dollars and five dollars and twenty dollars, we're getting
robbed hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars, and we think that we're safe
here in America. So the point is that many of the blacks in these
cities, there's not going to be a good candidate that runs in any of
these cities until there's a wholesale failure of the Democrat control system, a collapse,
and you talk about billions of dollars. I and on a guest a
week or two ago wrote a book called Blood in the Congo, in which
these little black boys and girls every day report to the minds to mine lithium
and cobalt and radium at break of dawn. All day they're scraping in the
dirt with bags on their back and baskets to carry out to the red Chinese
communists can make these batteries to go in these teslas. So it's critical and
there's no indication from our media they're going to send investigative units to the Congo,
where ninety percent of these exotic medical medals come from, because they're so
cheap to mind where the hundreds of little boys and girls are killed, human
slavery, sexual trafficking, whatever. They give the leadership of Congo millions and
millions of dollars to rape economically the country out of billions, kind of like
in this country when the bidens get millions and millions of dollars in order to
transfer to China billions of dollars worth of grift and I watched it happening,
and it's not covered by the mainstream media. Why and it never will be,
never will be because of bellies. It don't matter. And it's the
same thing with COVID, the lie they told of COVID, the lie they
told of the vaccines. The little people don't matter. Take the vaccine,
shut your mouth, lockdown, wear your mask, do what we tell you.
You will capitulate. The New World Orders said it, look, we
can look at green energy. What policy do you want to look at You
want to look at green energy? Now, green energy is another farce.
And you just describe the ugly underbelly of green energy. But nobody's going to
bring that up, of the underbelly of green energy that you still have to
maintain the black energy grid in order to have the green energy. I don't
know if you saw the thing just the other day of the Soul plant,
the solar panels, the facility that got beat up by hal and if Brass
ruined it, Okay, we're teen thousand solar panels. I don't know who's
depending on that. But you know what didn't go down? That black energy
grid that's still powering everybody, but nobody wants to mention the dirty little things
about that. But here's where I want to go with all of this.
We must stop focusing on the problems. We've got to approach the problem of
leftism from a management consulting point of view. How is it that we can
have the best ideas as conservatives when it comes to protecting military, protecting our
border, protecting the lives of children, protecting children from this transsexual nonsense that's
going on and the sexualization of these kids, protecting our economy from people like
Joe Biden who are so willing to sell it out. And I could go
down the list. We have every good idea because we truly care about the
greater good. How is it that we're not able to sell that? How
is it that we're not able to take advantage of the media, social media
soon to be AI and chat, GPT and all these other technologies. How
do we not sell that we are the best people on the planet who believe
in a loving, living God or something bigger than ourselves, That we are
not selfishly motivated in any way, that we are the people ready to help
anybody regardless of political ideology. And the other side is willing to kill us,
to camp out as Supreme Court justices homes, to threaten their lives,
to threaten sitting president's former presidents, to threaten us at every week, every
turn, to prosecute us for things that don't even exist. How are we
not able to sell that? I have the answer. We don't sell it
like a business. We sell it politically. And we have the most terrible
people politically on the planet representing us to call themselves Republicans. They don't even
know how to sell the idea that Lincoln was a Republican who freed the slaves.
People think Lincoln was a Democrat and the Democrats were the slaves. Why
would you depend on them? I tell you, like Kevin Jackson, you're
fabulous. You talk about it. I went to Dominican Republic and we were
told to have lots of one, five, and ten dollar bills because every
time you do something, you hit the hip for five, ten, fifteen
dollars. That's the way the game is played. But America and the Democrats,
man, you talk about billions of dollars. How much has wrapped up
in the Green New Deal, how much has wrapped up in college admissions?
How much has wrapped up in di for every large and small American business in
America. This pays off to the tune of billions. In fact, some
say trillions of dollars. The Assistant Secretary of Energy testified about a week ago
that is going to take fifty trillion dollars, fifty trillion dollars to go to
go energy independent with the new sources of energy by the year twenty forty,
we got to spend fifty trillion dollars. We're not talking five and ten and
fifteen. The Liberals have figured out, the Democrats have figured out. It's
about the Green New Deal. It's about the way you stop. It is
the way we stop. It is. First of all, what you talked
about. Most of what you're talking about is what I would call the racism
tax. Reparations has been paid. It's the racism tax. Every time you
turn around, it's race, race, race, this Scotus decision, race,
race, race, the idea of having people earned their way for meritocracy
so that Blacks are not looked at as substandard. And whatever you do,
would you go to who would you go to? Would you go to the
Asian neurosurgeon, or would you go to the black neurosurgeon. I'm gonna answer
for you, Bill, so they don't call you a racist. I'm gonna
go to the Asian guy, Okay, because I mayn't say that hard I
can't say that, you can't say you can think it, and the audience
can think it because it is legit. But when we bring meritocracy back and
both those guys graduate from Harvard, then it's a it's a toss up which
one lifts closer to me? Which what's the rates? You know, now,
I got I have legitimate things to look at. But anyway, we've
got this this racism tax. And when you look at all these other things
that you talked about, all these other problems, let's stop looking at the
problems because we all know this global climate change is nothing more than weather.
This all this money grab going to global climate change is nothing more than fleecing
of citizens around the world. How would we solve that if we took at
it from a management consulting point of view, marketing perspective, how would we
solve it? Now? When we start asking questions like that, and we
then say, how do we make sure that we quit talking about climate change
from AOC's perspective, when we start talking about the nonsense of it from our
perspective, when we do this, which I set up an organization called arc
in Action Americans for Real Change arc in Action. If you're willing to do
it, I'm not going to finance it. I've got investors here in Arizona
because we're rolling it out here. But if we do that, I promise
you within ten years, easily within two years, we will have these people
backing off. And let me give you an example, Billy, I know
you got will run out of time. I got approached by a pro life
group. It said to me, Kevin, can you help us market pro
life the idea of saving children? We have to market this said, I
got the perfect thing for you. You don't have to pay me, I
said. Put a black woman, she's pregnant, a young black woman,
and make it clear, seat through to her belly, show her heavily pregnant
belly, and put a picture of Lebron James dunking and say would you kill
your child if you knew it was Lebron James. That's it. Now,
what is that going to do? It's going to do more in the cause
of pro life than anything I've seen so far, because it's gonna make young
black women ask themselves the question, am I berthing the next Lebron James Beyonce,
Denzel Washington. Just give it one second of thought and ask yourself what
if that were the case. Now. I'm not advocating that all of these
women have babies, because some of them don't need them. But all I'm
telling you is, if you want to start having something different happen, you
better start thinking differently about the problem. And that's what I did for decades
as a management consultant. You must solve a problem. When you go in
and ask a company to spend fifty million dollars on a project, you better
have a solution in an outcome, and a successful one at that, or
you're not coming back. Kevin Jackson Network dot Com. All your stuff is

American. Of course, we had three big U S. Supreme Court decisions
last week on student loan forgiveness and race discrimination and the rights of LGBTQ,
etc. But a new book is out. Freedom is the Foundation, written
by Eron With and it's how we are defeating woe Crazy's teacher unions, etc.
I pray that is the case. And Aaron With welcome, I think
for the first time to the Bill Cunningham show and kind of give us the
synopsis. And I think it all begins ends with teachers, unions, et
cetera doing a great job, which they're not. And so the reason for
your book would be what well, Bill, Freedom is the foundation that makes
America the greatest country out of the government unions in the left fighting of that
very foundation. Every single day. So me and my team of the Freedom
Foundation, what we do is we fight government unions by telling every public employee
in America they can leave their unions, and they should leave their unions.
They pay about eleven hundred dollars in union deuce and they can put that back
in that pocket thanks to the US Supreme Court decision that came down five years
ago called Janeste asked me right, right, And they don't do it.
And when I watch, you know, one thing I've noticed is something called
the Stockholm syndrome, in which sometimes the captives take on the attributes the roles
of those doing the capturing. And in our society, I can't think of
a large urban public school system, whether it's Alice, Cincinnati, Chicago,
Washington, DC. Now are doing great educating the next generation of Americans,
and teachers unions seem to spend more time thinking about holidays and time off than
actually educating children. And you make the point that two years they were teachers,
unions were fighting to keep the schools closed, forcing kids to wear masks
when they weren't at risk. And this includes things like transgenderism, the NA
playbook, etc. And here we are really this all started with the pandemic
in like February March of twenty twenty, so we're well over three and a
half years in the process. Has anyone and the teachers unions taken taken a
hit for what they did to the millions of kids they educate what happened.
We've had all this come up and all over the place, but not when
it comes to teachers unions. Why is that? Well, I'll tell you
bill, teachers unions are feeling it more than they ever have because more teachers
are leaving their unions than ever before. When you think about these people that
are paying about eleven hundred dollars each in union, dudes, teacher union membership
is at twenty year lows. We've seen declines for the past couple of years
at rates that we've never seen. It's because teachers are sick of this union's
political agenda. They're sick of what they did to our kids, and the
Freedom Foundation is telling them that they can leave and that they need to put
this money back in their pockets. So yeah, I think they're feeling it
because teachers unions today they're nothing more than political entities. They exist to do
politics. They do not exist to represent their members anymore, and that's why
people are leaving. Talk about the issue in Texas because you're there, I'm
thinking about Austin public schools, Dallas public schools. Used in public schools,
I would imagine they're in meltdown when it comes to attendance of students. What's
being educated. Teachers are indoctrinating and not educating. What is the status of
public education with the collapse of the southern border and many texts is public schools?
What's your reaction to that? Well, it's not just Texas public schools.
I mean, you go to any big city right now, all the
public schools seem to be failing. I mean, Chicago is far worse off
than any other public school system in America right now, Los Angeles, New
York. When you go through the list, we have record rates of failing
education. We have meant, the kids' mental health is at record lows.
I mean, it's staggering the damage that brandy winegart and the teachers unions have
done to our kids. But I want to give some good feedback here.
Parents are voting for school boards, conservative school boards like they never have.
Teachers are leaving the unions like they've never had, and students are leaving the
public school systems. They're going to charter schools, they're going to private schools,
they're doing homeschooling and learning parts and all the rest of it to get
out of these failing public schools. I think competition is absolutely, absolutely a
great thing, especially when it comes to our kids. Randy Weingartner wrote an
opinion for The Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago about the racial disparities
and education, and the racial disparities and education achievement, et cetera are not
due to race. What they're due too is the fact that many black kids
don't have a father in the home, That there's not educational achievement culturally demanded
by many, that acting white is perceived to be a kind of the wrong
thing to do. But Randy white Gardner and the and the Wall Street Journal
editorial a couple three days ago talked about spending more money on public education.
Would that solve the racial disparity issues? Oh? God, no, Which
is throwing more money in a problem that's completely failing. I mean, and
you read the Wold, if you read the Wall Street Journal, the weekend
edition, the editorial Board came out of a great piece that basically debunt what
she was saying. That said that she's been the worst person for creating race
disparity across the country. I mean, she's the one tree this race argument,
and she's making sure that black and minority groups feeling like their victimized and
therefore are acting like it. Why can't we just say that every kid needs
to be given an equal chance and an equal opportunity and they can go out
and achieve great things. This is the greatest country in the world. America
is a place where you can where you can bribe, where you can work
on and achieve great things. Randy. But not if we let Randy Wineart
continue to control our public school system, and she does because all the public
schools. In fact, you bring up Chicago, which is a good example.
Over ninety percent of the black kids in Chicago don't read at the grade
level, and they graduate with a certificate, not a diploma, because largely
many cannot read the diploma, not because of racism, but because of a
lack of quality public schools. It has nothing to do with race, everything
to do with behavior. It's like blaming a spoon when someone gains weight makes
no sense at all. I'll give you one good example. Beginning July first,
a couple days ago the Ohio Legislature. I'm from Ohio, of course,
that's where I broadcast from on Sunday nights. And what happened in beginning
July first. In this coming school year, any parent that has a child
in public schools has a voucher capability to take that voucher and go to a
Catholic school, a private school, or a charter school. And according to
the teachers unions, that's a disaster. Why is that not a disaster?
They think it's a disaster because they do not get as much money as they
would originally have. Hopeful when money follows students and doesn't get pumped into failing
public schools, that it limits the teachers union's ability to take to hire a
bureaucrats and for them to be able to go and take union dues from those
bureaucrats. That's what it's about. For these guys. It's about money,
and then it's about how much money, how much they can influence political campaign
by spending that capital and getting politicians elected into office like Joe Biden to go
out and do that bidding. No one talks about this government. Unions across
America gave Joe Biden seventy six million dollars to get to the White House.
You know the thing. They're influenceding that guy when he's making decisions about our
education. He absolutely is. He's their number one phone call. Recently,
there was a also article in the Wall Street Journal about what's happening in Minneapolis
after the Floyd murder and what happened there is the police officer Chalvin Derrek Chalvin
committed a murder. He caused the death of George Floyd. But that doesn't
mean every cop in Minneapolis is also responsible. The policies now of Minnesota have
gone far left, which means there's going to be fewer cops. They're going
to be hired, cops are going to be neutered in the sense they're not
going to want to be proactive policing, and that the democratic to liberal Democrats
in Minnesota are going to bring about what they seek to avoid, which is
which is more crime. I can't think of a worst circumstance. Also,
on every major American city, the crimes off the charts the longer the liberal
Democrats have been in charge of a city, the worst results you get,
but Minneapolis has particularly bad. They signed a new consent decree with the Department
of Justice, and which is going to reduce the number of cops that are
hired, going to take away the ability of cops to proactive to act.
And lastly, what they're going to do is make it easier to sue a
police officer. And if you're a police officer eron with and you're in Minnesota
and you can be sued, you have no qualified immunity. There's a presumptiveness
that what you're doing is right. You're not going to be able to buy
a house, You're not going to be able to get credit cards, You're
going to be sued. And many times you can't discharge intentional acts in bankruptcy.
And so everywhere I look, I see the collapse of education. And
I want to well, part of your book it deals with the critical race
theory, defunding the police, closing down schools, etc. How is CRT
also hurt the black folks living in American cities. Well, let me let
me give you a good example from the model of the easiest game, which
is the when the Left saw a police officer, Chevin not doing his job,
and arguably he did the worst job that he could have possibly been.
The did the worst thing that he could have possibly done. But let's apply
the same rhetoric of defund the police that the Left came out with two bad
teachers. Shouldn't we also hold teachers to a higher standard when it comes to
educating our kids? Should we expect better things? I mean, you can't
fire teachers nowadays regardless of what they do, and that's because of the union's
policies. We should be able to have teachers that are out in the workforce
that are delivering a quality education, and if they're not, and if they're
failing our kids, then we should be able to fire them. That's the
appropriate course of action here to the CRT question, Yeah, you're absolutely right.
This is damaging. This is racing America's history. America's history is of
course Floord and Tits need to learn that, but they also need to learn
what makes America the greatest country in the world. And as a native brit
Move that moved to America and live, you know, I live every day,
what I'd say is the American dream. I can tell you it's alive
and well in this country, and it's better than anywhere else in the world.
As far as police today, there's no major American city where crime has
gone down because the longer liberals have been in charge of a city police department,
the worst results you get. And the great majority of black folks are
victims of crime and have nothing to do with the perpetuation of crime. They
want protection. Black folks want good police more than anyone else because they suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. I'm aware of Cincinnati, Ohio.
We have in Cincinnati, approximately one hundred and forty thousand Black folks live in
the city of Cincinnati. Of that numb well under one percent are committing the
crimes. In fact, the local prosecutor has said many times, if he
had the ability to take five hundred people off the streets, crime would go
down by eighty percent. You live in Dallas, I would say less than
one percent of black folks are committing crime of any type, and it's a
consequence. You got to crack down on that element, but liberal judges will
not do it. Austin right now in Texas as a terrible place to live
because of all the racing, auto racing in the streets, the public schools
and complete collapse. There's little or no job creation and most of Austin Texas
acceptance state government going on, which is very expensive. And people still are
moving into Tennessee, they're moving into Texas, they're moving into Florida to get
out of California, New Jersey. And you moved out of England to come
to America. What are the one or two main differences are in with do
you find in criminal justice when it comes to Great Britain and Texas? What
are the one or two differences if any Well, great brand doesn't exactly get
it right, but I'll tell you in Texas the police are a lot better
than the state that I left at is Washington. Say, I lived in
Washington, saved for a few years, and it's awful there. It got
to a point where I can mean, my wife and had a little baby
girl. We couldn't live there. You don't feel protected, the homeless and
the liberal elites run that city. There are two sides of society there.
There's a side of society where you're a taxpayer, you provide jobs, and
you can you walk around like me in a suit most days, and you
get treated like the scum of the earth. And if you could take one
foot out of line and go to jail, they're coming for you. But
you could be a homeless person, you can be on drugs, you can
deal drugs, you can smash the windows of businesses, you do whatever the
heck you want, and they're just gonna they won't do anything about you.
They'll let you live the life the way that you want to. But what
they will make sure is they'll make sure that they get your voter registrate Codcom
voting times so that you can vote for the next Democrat to come into office.
I mean, the left government unions want to turn America into a socialist
country. They want to turn it into a place where where it creates these
two sides of society. And I'll tell you someone who just left England,
that is not the place that you want to be. America is great because
of capitalism, because of freedom. That's what me and the Freedom Foundation are
working to defend every single day. Is the reason you left the state of
Washington. I think Portland, Oregon is probably even worse. Have to do
with high taxes, high rules, and regulations, no law enforcement, massive
shoplifting. I saw a report this morning on one of the news sites that
which at all Kansas has been subjected to all kinds of industrial strength shoplifting,
that gangs are used to strip Walgreens clean of their products, and the same
thing is true about Louis Vatan stores in which gangs show up. It's industrial
strength. Is there a sense that is more safe as a functioning American than
the state of state, state of Washington or state of Oregon. Yeah.
Absolutely, you don't even have to be smart to be a good criminal.
In Washington states, they don't arrest you. I mean that Texas, they'll
put you in jail. In Texas, you're you're held accountable. In Texas,
you caught brake laws like you can in the Northwest. I also lived
in Oregon for a number of years, and yeah, I tell you it's
it's a place where they're trying to tax you for the privilege of living there,
and for all you do is you walk around and you feel unprotected,
you feel unsafe, and that's not a place to raise a family, which
is why me and thousands of others are leaving those states basically every day.
But It's sad because it's some of the most beautiful geography in the world on
the West Coast being destroyed by people. And the longer the liberal demos and
you know, those in charge of the cities now are not the democrats of
the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties. This is a different Marxist group.
And the longer in charge of a city that philosophy is in charge,
the worse it becomes. How do the American people Aaron with get your book
and connect with your organization? How can the American people do that? Freedom
is The Foundation is on Amazon, how websites, Freedom Foundation dot com.
I encourage anybody to go in there, follow us on social media, share
our stuff. The way that we win this fight in America is by defunding
government unions, of putting the power back in the hands of people and out
of the hands of a few radical union bosses. So here the Freedom Foundation
work every day to hold unions accountable, to free people from union bondage,
and ultimately, like I said, put the power back in the hands of
people. So I'd be very encouraged if people went to our website and brought
my book Aeron With you're a great American. I'm glad you're a teas for
Texas and teas for Tennessee, two great states. Once again, thank you
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Good luck. I'm glad you got
out of Britain and the state of Washington alive. May God bless you and
God bless America. Aaron with thank you very much, hey man, thank
you, God bless you. Let's continue with more. The line becomes available

American with you every Sunday night, Georgia now twenty three. I heard Radio
Musan with great glory. Of course, I began about three hours ago singing
about the influences of the great Taylor. I'll tell you what she was,
fabulous Taylor Swift came to Cincinnati and played a pake horse stadium. I caught
some serious flak for talking about her at all. But much like Rush Limball
had get different interest. The greatest of all time was Rush Limball. Talk
show host also got off on tangents. I got off on a tangent,
but nonetheless it was it was wonderful to watch about three hundred thousand people over
three days. Uh really invade Cincinnati? And more to most importantly, the
three decisions of the r Supreme Court, the student loan forgiveness shall we say,
making others pay someone else's debt was determined to be correctly. Also the
race discrimination case Race the goal is you can't have a society in which racism
is wrong when you're promoted, and so I'm glad the Supreme Court ruled that
way. And lastly, on the Christian web design glor Smith case, Neil
Coursage said it the right way. That America is a rich and complex place
where all persons are free to think and speak as they wish, not as
the government demands. Me and you and yours have a fabulous fourth of July,
continuing in a couple of days that God bless you and God bless America.
