here's the man who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not one,
but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his broadcast Exodens, the one and only
Bill Cunningham. Right, Billy Cunningheady, Great America, Welcome this glorious Sunday
night, and great to have you with me. You're all concluding our Fourth
of July celebrations. I went to four or five them and enjoined them all,
and a lot of parides, a couple of baseball game, mL soccer.
Enjoyed it all. God blessed the United States of America. God's represented
him on Earth. One of my first guests in an hour or so is
going to be Scott Powell of the Discovery Institute, going back to the beginning
and why the Fourth of July is so important and what it seeks to say,
because I think it's fair to say that most Americans coming out of high
school or college do not have a deep sense of love and commitment to this
country because it's not taught in a positive way, garbage in, garbage out.
And if you're taught that America is racist, sexist, homophobic, and
it's not worthy to exist, you might not want to volunteer for the military,
or become a cop or a firefighter, a corrections officer, or work
in the field office of the FBI US Marshall's service, be a corections officer.
Why work and try to save a country not worth saving? And one
of the most starkest realities today is that about sixty percent of young Americans between
the ages of eighteen and thirty sixty percent would not fight to save America if
the country was invaded Red Dawn style. Think about that number. Over half
of young folks do not want to save the United States of America because it's
not worth saving. How's that possible? How's that? How's that possible?
Unless you were taught that at a young age, And so many kids grow
up dysfunctional today, dysfunctional family with all the TikTok generations and free love,
free sex, whatever it might be, abortion on demand, the plan B
medication, whatever it might be. That it's like a sin and crime free
environment. So you get out of high school and college, and you might
owe in college two or three hundred thousand dollars, and you say, hey,
what's in it for me? I took English studies, I took women's
studies. You mean I can't get a job in geography. I can't get
a job in English literature, you know, And I owe money? What
do I do? You become disillusioned and the zone out, either with drugs
or alcohol. It becomes medicine. So that's the problem. Scott Pala's column
addresses in about an hour or so about how the country was formed, what
the founding fathers gave up, and now they put in the constitution the seeds
that would allow future generations of Americans to redefined the country and to change things.
And god knows, since seventeen eighty seven, and since seventeen seventy six,
the country's changed quite a bit. And so that's Scott Powell coming up
about an hour or so. And also later on as the Great Michael Mike
McDonald of the Catholic League dot org got a great column up about patting the
United States on its back for getting rid of slavery when most of the world
did not. And still there's more slaves alive today than ever before in human
history. Numerically there's about forty million according to the UN. And the parts
of the world that deny and stop and angry about slavery are the parts of
the world that have liberal democratic institutions, Judaeo Christian institutions. And he kind
of pats America on its back for getting rid of slavery when most of Africa,
Asia, South America did not do it. Of course, so without
issues plus more plus we continue to reverberate on the issue of Joe Biden.
I would note that the reporting today is that the Democrats are still planned to
meet tomorrow on Monday with the King Jefferies, and there's a large group allegedly
thirty to fifty He might sign a letter urging President Joe Biden not to stand
for reelection, but of course keep him in power. So that's not going
to change. And if you can't run for an election, how in the
world can he stays to president? One might ask. One might ask the
question, if you can't run for the office because you're not mentally alert,
how can you hold the office? So and then also I understand that the
Senator Mark Warner of Virginia has canceled a pow wow with US senators. They're
all coming back on Monday. And I don't know what happened behind the scenes,
but whatever, he was told by the staff of Joe Biden that the
pow wow with Senator Warren Warner of Virginia is not going to take place.
So we'll see what happens. And House Minority Leader Keem Jefferies is going to
hold a behind closed door meeting with top Democrats to discuss the prospects on Monday
or Tuesday, and we'll see what happens. I say, live with it.
Let the Democrats stew in their own juices. They laid down with dogs,
you're going to get up with fleas. And they knew going in that
Joe Biden four years ago was not mentally alert. They knew that they had
to rely upon the media not to report on his lack of mental acute in
his finility in the media didn't report. And now that we had the great
debate June the twenty seventh, what about ten days ago, Believe it or
not, now the media is shocked. It's unbelievable. We didn't know about
this. Are you kidding me? And how many cuts have I played for
you in the past. On one hand, Joe Biden showing his senility and
on the other hand, the Democratic at chieftain supporting him completely in the media
bias was unbelievable. I think in a sense, Joe Biden just destroyed himself
and the media by his performance. Soon the twenty seventh and is sit down
with Stephanopoulos, who's a Clinton stooge from ABC News, wasn't much better.
Whatever you felt about it going in, you felt the same way coming out.
And senility is not something that gets better with the passage of time.
He's not going to be better in three months than he is tonight, and
in a year or two he's not going to be better then that he is
now. The person we elect November the fifth and sixth is going to serve
until January of twenty twenty nine. Does anyone believe that Joe Biden has the
mental abilities to serve another four and a half years in office? Of course
not, but for the media complicity with the big lie that Joe Biden is
mentally competent. Without that complicity, Donald Trump would now be completing his second
term. And of course, to Hunter Biden a laptop from Hell, which
the FBI had about eleven months before the election. Also, if that had
been accurately reported by a fair media as being real, then again, Biden
would not have been elected. So the media played at silly games to make
sure that Biden won and Donald Trump lost. And they're back at it again
trying to prop up and assents Joe Biden. But the American people, about
eighty percent of us now say that Joe Biden is not mentally equipped to be
the president. If it is not mentally equipped to be the president, why
is he holding the office? Well, it's simple. The Democrats have to
go through a process the next two to three weeks to determine what to do.
And allegedly the NATO leaders are coming to Washington on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. The week after that's the RNC and Milwaukee, and then the Democrats
have their pow wow in Chicago, which should be great to watch the middle
of August. So the twenty fifth we may go over briefly, but here
it is the Democrats right now as I sit here, in the first fifteen
minutes of the Sunday out extravagance and the Democrats now of the power tonight to
take away the presidency from Joe Biden. If they don't do it, it's
on them. Twenty fifth Amendment easily says that when the Vice president and the
majority of the cabinet sign a petition saying the president is not mentally or physically
equipped to handle the office and make that filing in the House and the Senate,
the power of the presidency passes immediately immediately to Kamala Harris. She's the
acting president. And if the president the president, that's her. She's the
president now. And if four days after that the old president in this case
an adjective and a noun would say, you know that's wrong, he can
request a hearing or a trial as determined by the House and the Senate as
to whether or not he's fit to continue. And at that this entire time
acting president is Kamala Harris and Joe Biden is stripped of his power, and
then the House and the Senate vote after hearing determined by them or a trial
if Joe Biden wants to go forward that you know he can't he is capable
of serving, and then there's a House vote. If it's two thirds Senates
two thirds. He's out, and Kamala Harris is the President of the United
States, not just the acting president, but the president, and of course
she'd be the nominee of the party to run in November. So the Democrats
clearly have the power to install Kamala Harris in the presidency tonight by midnight.
Why don't they do it? Number One, Kamala Harris herself is a clown
with a capital K, and they know she's completely ill equipped to hold the
office, that this is unbelievable. Number Two, it would split the Democratic
Party, which they want to continue to maintain power and keep control of the
checkbook until twenty twenty nine. January twentieth at twenty twenty nine, never twined
the rock in a hard place. I say, live with it. You
built it, it's yours, you destroyed it, it's yours. Joe Biden
has destroyed the media in himself, and the massive conspiracy has now been laid
bare, the conspiracy to protect Joe Biden and to reelect him in twenty twenty
four and then within six months give the presidency to Kamala Harris. That was
the plan, but for some unknown reason, maybe the hand of God himself
said let's have an early debate June the twenty seventh, before the before the
convention in Chicago, and he was so bad, it was so awful that
average Americans, the sixty million who watched, finally said, you know,
I didn't know that guy. I can't believe what's happening. Believe it or
not. The great bulk of the American people are not like you and I
that pay attention to what's going on the world every day. I get up
every morning, every afternoon, and every night enveloped in the media from Red
State to NEWSMAX to town Hall. I even watch Morning Joe and MSNBCC.
You don't have to. I watch everything. I can sop up all the
knowledge I have to relate it to you in talk radio. And we all
knew two three years ago, maybe four years ago, his mental decline was
going to be severe, and a metastasized on June the twenty seventh. So
the conspiracy of silence, the massive conspiracy that seemingly Joe Biden was mentally competent,
continues, and after that, there's no turning back. The liberal media
today cannot defend them anymore. Less it looked like reporters from North Korea and
even now in the morning Sunday morning talk shows, they were enveloped with concerns
about Joe Biden's mental state, and most of them were saying, you know
what, he's got to go. Well, if he can't hold if he
can't run for the presidency, how does he hold it? The answer is,
it's up to Kamala Harris to get together more than half of the cabinet
officials and therefore she becomes the acting president. Is that what you want?
Would you want her to be the acting president? Maybe conduct the NATO meetings
later this week? Man, I don't think so. No one wants that
Democrats have no good way forward and they deserve to suffer. And what happens
happens. And to his credit, Donald John Trump has kept a relatively low
profile. When your opponent is committing political suicide, please do not stitch any
of the wounds, stay out of it, go fishing, go golfing,
have fun, but don't respond in any way because the Democrats are committing suicide.
And it's really incredible. The twenty fifth Amendment is there. Kamala Harris
could pull the plug on Joe Biden. By midnight tonight if she wanted to,
and she's not done it yet. Number One, she's ill equipped to
hold the job. Number Two, it was split the Democratic Party, and
of course some have said, let's have a quick primary. That's never going
to work. So Joe Biden, because of Hunter Biden, and because of
Joe Biden, and because of Valerie Biden, they all want him to stay
in office to keep the perks coming. I wouldn't know one thing kind of
offbeat just a bit. Did you know that in the last few years Joe
Biden and Joe Biden have taken out eighteen second mortgages or home equity loans on
their three properties they owned. They're running out of cash, running out of
money. That was reported in the Daily Mail. It's an incredible story.
If this was anyone other than Joe Biden, the media be all over it,
because how come a president who last year made six hundred and some thousand
dollars total from all sources is essentially refinancing his home properties at higher interest rates
than they were a year or two ago. Why do that unless you need
money? And the story points out that the reason he needs money is that
the bag man has lost the handles hunter. Biden is not traveling around the
world getting money for the Big Guy, and he's under quite a bit of
scrutiny. So what's happened in the last few years is that Joe Biden has
taken out mortgages on his various homes and put the money in his pocket to
the tune of millions of dollars because he can't handle the cash flow is not
a concern. Isn't that a big deal? I think it is. So
let's continue. We'll take some calls and proceed. We have four lines in
use and we've got three lines available for you. Number to call is eight
sixty six six four seven seven three three seven eight six six six four seven
seven three three seven. Do you have sympathy for the Democrats and the position
politically that they put themselves? Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday night if you
have time tonight. This is a two minute a side. Just google Daily
Mail and the headline is Joe and Joe Biden have been using their Delaware house
for fast cash refinancing twenty times with loans totaling four point two million dollars.
They're using their Delaware homes as a ATM, taking out multiple mortgages refinancing Delaware
properties a total of three of them, astonishingly thirty five times. He's lived
in two houses, had an income last year, according government records, of
about six hundred and three thousand dollars. But they also own a summer home
at on the Beach. They scooped up in June twenty seventeen, twenty seventeen
as he was leaving the vice presidency for two point seven million dollars that property,
though his no mortgage is attached to it at all. Where'd that money
come from? This? These thirty some mortgages suggest that the first family needed
money fast. He's a career politician, that column says, and that total
income they paid they earned six hundred and twenty thousand dollars last year, paid
taxes for one hundred and forty six thousand, and they said they had investment
income, et cetera. But I don't know about you, but if you
take a home equity loans in equity home equity loans more than three dozen times,
that might raise a few red flags. Maybe the bag man's been out
of business and they've also it took a fifty thousand dollars loan against a mutual
fund in IRA type things. They reported assets between one and two point six
million and liabilities of only eight hundred fifty thousand dollars. And every time they
did it, they have to be thousands of dollars in charges. Right,
I think I've read financed once or twice. It's about four to five thousand
dollars. Maybe they're all waived. And I don't understand how that isn't a
little bit of a red flag for the sitting president. And this cod this
story Daily Mail. Just google Joe and Joe Biden mortgages. They have a
long list of the mortgages. They have about nineteen mortgages totaling four point two
million dollars. And the house they're living in now the fancy won two point
six mil they paid cash for. I don't know, can't answer it.
It's out there. Take a look, see what you think. So let's
continue the uh this. If you listen to way Allen Root and I anytime
in the last few months or a few years, each of us believe,
and I certainly do, that Joe Biden is not going to be the nominee
of the Democratic Party whether it's this week or next week or the week after,
when the polling gets even worse and the conspiracy of silence has ended and
the media suddenly discovered they were shocked by his performance on June the twenty seventh,
They're going to have to turn to Kamala Harris. They can't take Gavin
Newsom. He's a rich white guy that's destroyed the state of California, because
Kamala Harris has their own role in that coming out of California. Nonetheless,
it has to be Kamala Harris. Anyone else would not be accepted by the
base of the Democratic Party, who are African American female voters who vote ninety
percent or so for the Democrat. So we'll see what happens down the road.
I got hot fudge, sunny bets all over the place. Many of
my political friends say, no, he's not going to leave that Jill and
Hunter and Valerie and Jim won't let him leave. But on the other hand,
his mental decline has been so serious he can't stay in office. And
if that's the case, Kamala Harris could become the acting president, and that
means she runs from the presidency, which would make her even more difficult to
beat. We'll talk about that in a moment. We have calls from all
over the country. Take a few on the other side. Number to call
is eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven. Bill Cunningham,
the Great American, with you every Sonday. Before I take thousands of calls
from millions of listeners, I wanted to point out that once again California has
slunk into the toilet bowl of life. The most visibly the most beautiful state
in the greatest country, greatest nation in the world, The United States of
America has been run by clowns the last fifteen or twenty years, and I
can't believe that Kamala Harris, with their record of ineptitude, would desire to
keep going up the ladder of unsuccessful positions. I note that a couple days
ago, once again, a small business owner had his mini marked destroyed by
a flash robbery mob near the airport in Oakland. The video is unbelievable.
The station owner reports that there was at least one hundred thousand dollars in damage
to his store. It was a convenience station in one of those mini marts
like a wah Wah one hundred thousand dollars in damage. About one hundred individuals
through social media organized at three am heist. They broke into the store.
It's a huge store. They destroyed the inside of the store. They stole
about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in merchandise inside the store, cleaned it
out, including twenty five thousand dollars in cash. There were two employees there
that were threatened, called police nine one one. Oakland police showed up nine
hours later. Nine hours later. And this comes on top of a story
out of San Francisco where small business owners on Tuesday went on a two hour
protest by shutting their stores down. Small business owners of restaurants, convenience stores,
clothing stores, doctors, and dinner's offices went on Strikeland Tuesday from ten
am to noon to draw attention to the city's skyrocketing crime and their story.
After story of San Francisco and Oakland small business owners saying we can't take this
anymore. Have you seen the video of downtown San Francisco. What it looks
like it is emptied out, goes some homelessness and drug use, fornication,
defecation, urination, open needle open drug air markets, and now these stores
are loot at one is open and then one hundred individuals show up and calls
maybe a quarter of a million dollars in total damage to destroy the store,
kick in the refrigeration unit, steal every autumn, not hung down, and
they take take the money, and the police show up nine hours later,
nine hours later. And if you want that kind of activity in your city,
then make sure Kamala Harris becomes the next president. If we just google
these stores, unbelievable. One small business owner said that there's been at least
a twenty one percent increase in violent crime. But now we don't bother reporting
thefts and looting because the police never show up. The Oakland business leaders won
a one thousand police officer increase with more support from the state and federal government.
They're calling on Oakland, including the NAACP is calling upon the City of
Oakland to declare state of emergency and lock it down. There won't be any
stores left. And coming out of California are Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris and
Nancy Pelosi. That's what they want to do to your city crime. He
said, we don't even today report crime. We don't bother with it because
the police never show up, and we can't have a gun to defend our
store because if we do that, we'll be charged with murder. And so
small business owners that backbone of this economy are small business owners are being decimated
in blue cities. I'd also point out that in the city of Chicago over
the Fourth of July weekend, eighty seven people were shot. Eighty seven and
THENAACP there went to declare state of emergency. Ninety five percent were black,
even though forty four percent of the city is black. So there's complete meltdown
of law and order in cities. Blue cities, blue states are the worst.
I live in Cincinnati. Cincinnati is a blue city, but it's in
a red state, you have a shot. But if you're a blue city
and the blue state, if you're in if you're in I don't know,
Atlanta, if you're in Washington, d c. If you're in Memphis,
if you're in Saint Louis, if you're in Chicago, if you're in Milwaukee.
At the western large cities, our magnificent cities have been destroyed by democratic
politics. Can't send the kid to school, you can't walk the streets,
you can't shop anywhere. The stores are being looted. Massive robberies and rapes
is the order today. But you know, as we all know, crime
is down, right, crime is down. No crime is way up,
but criminal arrest and prosecutions are way down. Cops are demoralized. And those
who cause this crisis, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin
Newsom, they all say, we need more power for each of our institutions
that we control. We can't take it. Let's continue. Thousands on the
old millions are listening. We have Rolling in Texas. Tea is for Texas
and Teas for Tennessee and then Rest in Indiana and Rolling in Texas give the
American people tonight rolling a full report. Thanks first time Colored Texas and as
a veteran, I did enjoy my quotes July weekend. But you know the
immediate the Democrat establishment has a problem of Joe Biden problem. So whether it's
the party, the media, or the constitutions, what I'm saying, and
get your thoughts on it is the House Republican should not support the twenty fifth.
What I'm saying is go for the impeachment. We will support you Democrats
if you impeach Joe Biden. You can get them on the border, student
loans, paper play, whatever you need, anything, but they should support
a twenty fifth exactly twenty fifth Amendment. No, you want our support,
We're going to impeach him. Let's get it done the right way and rolland
if that happens, rolland the twenty fifth to implement Section four of the twenty
fifth Amendment only requires the Vice president and majority of the Centate, majority of
the of the cabinet officers. That's all it takes. And if that and
those are all Democrats, and if that small group says we hereby declare that
Joe Biden is mentally incompetent of carrying out the office. That the second they
filed that petition with the House in the Senate, he's out of office.
And Kamala Harris is the acting president. So that's the quickest and easiest way
of getting rid of the guy. The problem is the Republicans. If Joe
Biden then says, after four days, if he says they're wrong, my
vice president and I want a trial, then there's a trial held quickly in
the House and the Senate and so and if that happens, God knows.
I do not want Kamala Harris to be the president of the United States.
I don't want Joe Biden to be the president between a rock and a hard
place. And I don't know, do you want him? Look at this
way. If he would say, I'm stepping down as a candidate, but
I'm keeping the office till January twenty. If he's stepping down as a candidate
because he's senile, how going to be the president? I mean he's sick,
you can't. And that means if he would say I'm on, which
I think is almost impossible. When you listen to him and Hunter and Jill
and Jim, it's it's Biden trying to protect his family. So he's not
gonna do anything. He's not. They're gonna have to fortune Hunter Biden.
And it needs a pardon because Hunter Biden is not going to federal prison.
And so you know one thing, ronin if you have a son, But
if I had a son that eaten my help, I would pardon my son.
I've not spoken to anyone who said I wouldn't pardon my son. And
luck the Chips far where they may. I love my boy. If you
have a son, you love him, and if you and so he's got
to hold the office to pardon Hunter. And let's say he strikes a deal
with Kamala Harris to say you got to pardon Hunter, and then you got
to pardon Trump. I don't know where the hell we are. I mean,
we're in the land of chaos, complete utter chaos. Unfortunately. Yeah,
I don't know what roland. What's the state of Texas today? Every
time we in the Midwest, here about Texas, I see millions and millions
of illegals. I see Austin the capitol and complete melta. I see massive
lawlessness in the major cities. And Texas and Tennessee I think are beautiful.
I love North and South Carolina. I have a home in Florida. That's
where I want to be. What's the status of Texas today? The problem
is that we have our major cities are democratic run. So thank god for
folks like myself to live in the big cities and all those rural errors to
keep the state in the right track. So, yeah, your major cities
are all democratic run, collapsing Tony, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Yeah,
collapsing. So that's a problem. And what you know, that's what's
the resolution. The resolution is that that people get the government they deserve.
And I don't see the cities are magnificent. Cities have been destroyed by democratic
politics. You know, whether it's the educational institution, lack of respect for
law enforcement, liberal federal liberal judges don't send people to jail. Well whatever,
my I don't see a resolution. I say, let them sink further.
Yeah, And unfortunately, like I said, a lot of entrance here
in Texas and the major cities. That's what's kind of keeping the balance and
the people safe here in the major cities of Texas, because there's enough of
us to keep that it was all blue, Yeah, Texas would be.
It'd be California. It'd be California, absolutely, yes, sir. Well,
what would happen in a red section? What would happen in the red
section of Texas? If a hundred mobsters and gangsters and looters and thieves descended
upon a store to cause hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage and then
the police are called to show up nine hours later. Would that happen in
a red part of Texas. I don't think absolutely not. I think one,
you got enough citizens that would right, would stand up. Yeah,
and law enforcement had many of those folks too, that would actually do their
job and have some support. A good thing. We have a good governor
abb it would protect me. I like your we have balance. We have
issues, but we have them balanced. And yes, Patrick's very well,
he's good too. So yeah, all right, thanks for your calling.
Don't be a stranger. Thanks, thank you appreciate it. Let's go to
Rust in Indiana, the home of the Hoosiers and the Sycamores. Rust.
Go ahead, Hey, mail, how's it going? You know you want
to talk about JD. Advance? I texted him. He was on one
of the ABC morning shows today, And whenever a Republican shows up with Kristen
Walker is kind of like a cross examination a Democrat shows up in a softball
time. What are your comments about JD. Vance? Well, he was
on last week too. I've tried to get in last week. But you
know, what about this scenario? Okay, would you support a convicted criminal
to be president of the US? What? I you're you're you're, you're
you're upras of the court. Well, it depends on what it is and
Donald Trump's case, I would, but it depends, Like an know,
Joe Biden did exactly the same behavior, and his own attorney generals said,
Robert Hurr that he's mentally incompetent and can't stand trial. I don't know why
in the world last year that wasn't a big deal. If you have the
attorney general Robert Hursay that you you're you're an old guy and you have no
memory in your senile how can you get a Texas El Paso on criminal indictment.
On the other hand, you're the president. How does that work?
Okay, well, look look at this scenario. J D. Say.
You know, Ohio is a Keith state in the presidential elections, right,
well, not so much anymore. Used to be, but not so much.
I mean with the Ohio's Trump country, so it's not state. If
he takes Ja d Vance as his vice president, Donald Trump I'm talking about.
Okay, say Donald Trump goes to jail, No, he's not going
to Does that mean j. D Vance could become president? No, because
the president cannot be incarcerated because he's the commander in chief. And that's no,
that will never happen. That's ridiculous. The president cannot be incarcerated,
and that prosecution in the City of New York was a joke, as declared
by the former governor, Governor Andrew Cuomo said among even Bill Maher not exactly.
Conservatives said that was politically motivated, and that's sick and it's sad.
By the time they get done sorting out the recent Supreme Gorge's decision, Trump's
going to be set freeze and should have been in the beginning. Let's continue
with more, and let's go to Marion and Saint Louis, Missouri, the
home of the Cardinals and the Blues and Marion. Go ahead on the Bill
Cunningham Show, go ahead, thank you. I want to thank you for
all the years of your show. I love it and I'm right with you.
But something that bothered me a long time now, and I got to
get somebody that I can't get many people to go along with just because I
think evil is influenced influence seeing their opinions. But you were talking about slavery,
and I want to I sincerely believe that slavery and abortion are the same
thing because the mother decides everything and she's a slave owner. So the Supreme
Court is saying, hey, these states decide what you want to do.
Sorry, that's a person, and I can't see it other than slavery.
No, Mary, it is sick time. It is sick. The Democratic
Party is running on a platform of killing as many healthy unborn babies as is
possible, and the media plays into it, saying, oh, you know,
it's about a women's health care decision. How's the healthcare for the baby?
How's that looking? And not real good? By the way, Marion,
were you a fetus at some point in your life? Yes, I
was. Guess what, the great American I was a fetus. In fact,
every person that's ever lived, including Jesus Christ himself, was a fetus
at some point. And the Bible talks about I knew you at the moment
of conception. And the running large political party on the idea is we're going
to kill as many healthy unborn babies as is possible. Is disgusting and I
would hope the media would call them on it, but they don't because the
media is in the pocket of the Democrat Party. But abortion is killing unborn,
healthy babies about ninety seven percent of the time. There's an unborn,
healthy baby wanting to be born, who's feeling terrible pain after about the twelfth
week, and we in this country allow it, which is a condemnation of
those who practice it. And there's a special place in hell for abortionists and
for people like Nancy Pelosi who has the power to stop it and refuses to
do so. According to twenty twenty three numbers, there was one million babies
aboard it last year one million babies abort it, which is more than in
twenty nineteen. So abortion is omnipresent, abortion is ubiquitous, and those who
do such things either must confess their sins and let the chips fall where they
may, and if they don't, I mean, I like every archbishop and
priests in the country to a practicing a Roman Catholic like Joe Biden, who's
a fake, to be told you can't receive the sacraments because you participate in
the killing of healthy unborn babies. I want want some archbishop to do that
if possible, but we got to run because of time constraints. But you've
heard me speak on that before and I'm not changing my opinion. I was
a fetus once and thank God my mother allowed me to be born, Thank
God, and every person alive today, including Jesus Christ himself, at one
point was a fetus who wanted to live. So to have an entire political
party telling large numbers of women that killing babies is healthcare is not health care
to the baby. Let's continue with more ten fifty one. Bill Cunningham with
you every Sunday night. I don't know if you saw this over the weekend,
but President Joe Biden, pretending to be a supporter of black Americans,
which he is not, calls the firing of a talk show host on a
black radio station. Her name is Andrea Lawful Sanders. She admitted during a
cno interview on Saturday morning that Biden's team sent her eight questions to ask ahead
of his interview with her, and when she made public the fact that she
read the questions from Joe Biden's communication director on her independent radio show, the
owner of the station fired her. W RD, a Philadelphia based black owned
radio station, is part of ways with its female host, after she revealed
that the White House provided her with a list of predetermined questions. Are you
kidding me? I mean, Joe Biden cannot handle a radio talk show host
questions, and I have empathy for this woman. She was put, which
mean a rock in a hard place. She wanted the interview with the president,
but to get the interview she had asked predetermined questions, and then when
the owner of the station found out that she had done that, he fires
her forthwith unbelievable. Secondly, riots have erupted this evening in France after left
wing coalition projected to win the plurality of the seats in their so called parliament
in Paris, that the left is rioting again. Unbelievable. I have empathy
for a radio talk show host. Seemingly a nice woman who had bad judgment
should have not agreed to the questions. But is that a reason to fire
somebody? Joe Biden got another black woman fired. Bill Cunningham, Scott Palell
coming up next, Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday Night, Willie Brough You
by Choice Hotels, Econo Lodge and Roadway in Hotels are serving up double points
for every qualifying stay book at Choice hotels dot com. Now here's the man
who's been recognized gives radio's best. The recipient of not won but two prestigious
Marconi Awards for his broadcast excellence. The one and only Bill Cunninghead, Bill
Cunningham, the Great American. The fourth of July many considered to be a
great American holiday, and it has been besmirched and defamed over the years by
leftist extremists who think of that our country is not worthy of salvation, not
worthy of being saved. Fourth of July is a special day for all real
Americans. Scott Powell has written a great column which is everywhere rediscovering the meaning
and authority of July the fourth. One great sentence quote. If more Americans
only understood that they're both the true errors and the protectors of the birth of
the freedom of the world, July fourth celebrations might well take on new dimensions,
potentially igniting Americans from all walks of life to sacrifice more time and resources
and join the ranks of the growing patriot movement dedicated to saving America's freedom of
this critical time. And God knows these are critical times. Scott Powell,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show, and I once you. Part of
your column deals with the freedoms American has as individual persons as opposed to government
when governments are untethered to a constitution, that's an evil. But when Americans
are tethered to the constitution and the Asians and Europeans and South Americans are not,
the party in power can do almost anything they want. Each person has
power be the cause of the Declaration of Independence in the Constitution, tell the
American people about about the freedoms and rights that we have taken for granted for
one hundreds of years, and why the Constitution and the fourth the July fourth
is special, which is unique in all the world. Well, I think
we start off really recognizing that the great vision that was cast in the Declaration
of Independence, which was really the it really encapsulated this great realization that America
was to be the city on the on a hill. It was to be
the salt and light for the rest of the world. When it was you
know, when it was first colonized, we had Christians coming to every single
colony. And in fact, you know, when you think of John Windsorp
who came to Boston as a Puritan in sixteen third party on the ship called
Arabella, which you know, which stood for I think something having to do
with prayer. I mean, everything about these early colonists was a vision of
the same pattern that was established by by Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt
to the Promised Land. They viewed America as this promised land, and they
were in the same sort of providential position. All the early colonists that were
coming to America were coming because this was a promised land. And that attitude
really shaped the Thirteen Colonies largely. And so when finally the oppression of Great
Britain became so great, there was a you know, there was a movement
to free ourselves from this growing tyranny of Great Britain, and that was the
inspiration for the Deck of Independence. But I would remind the audience also that
let's just think about how impossible it was for these thirteen independent colonies that had
really very little communication with each other because there was no there was not even
any telegraph in those days. You know, there was no electricity, it
was nothing. And these were independent colonies, so there was no sense of
unity. You know, there may have been an occasional courier going from one
colony to the next, but how were these thirteen independent colonies going to over
you know, to succeed in defeating the greatest military power in the world.
It was impossible, It was impossible to envision that that could happen. Well,
God, in his great wisdom sent George Whitfield raised up, you know,
Jonathan Edwards, who brought about this great awakening. There was a spiritual
revival in America between seventeen seventeen thirty and really right up into the seventeen fifties.
It was a twenty year period of revival in America where spiritually the colonies
came to feel an affinity with each other and a common cause. Had not
had God not brought about that Great Awakening, I don't think we would have
had a successful war of independence. So we have a very, very profound
history, and it is it must be understood in terms of, you know,
God, God's role in America. Well to that's you know, when
you think about South Carolina compared to Pennsylvania, to go from one place to
the other would literally take months to communicate, months to walk through the bridge,
to walk through the woods in the forest, and to go across the
streams and go up the mountains and down. There was no way to communicate.
Nobody knew North Carolina. South Carolina and Pennsylvania or didn't know existed.
And you bring out a great point that the providence, the hand of God
had to be involved in this. You say, when secular forces hastened driving
God out of America's culture some sixty five plus years ago, the void became
filled with false idols and divisive spiritual influences. Little wonder that average Americans today
feel demoralized and confused about the self destructive direction of this country. And we
do feel demoralized. We feel as if my God, that's falling apart the
southern border, the city's in flame, ramp and crime. We have a
currency being debased, we have fentanyl deaths, we have God knows what's happening.
We have nothing close to the problems that existed in the seventeen seventies,
eighties, and nineties. And we've come, in a sense full circle.
And here we are, as Americans wondering what is the fourth of July.
I would think average high school students today have no conception of what General George
Washington he went through in order to keep the country together. Defeat that British
Empire was impossible, but for the hand of God, it couldn't have happened
just for a moment or so. Scott talk about the military campaigns of this
tall, skinny surveyor named George Washington with bad teeth who forged the nation.
Talk about the defeats and the victories that he had very few victories defeats.
Tell that to the American people. The most important thing to understand about George
Washington is that he had this incredible faith in God, and he had other
qualities. He had qualities of persistence encourage, the likes of which we have
rarely seen in American history. And his relationship with God was solidified when he
was serving under the British in seventeen fifty five, when he was just twenty
two years old. And it was at that time where the French and Indian
War was going on in America, and the French and Indian War was a
war really against Britain. You know, there was the attempt of the French
to expand its territorial claim in America against the British. The British brought back.
So the French and Indian War was going on in General Washington, well
he wasn't general then, washing George Washington was twenty two years old. He
was a colonel and he was serving in the British Army and they were a
mission was called to take back Fort Duquine up in Pittsburgh, and so they
had to march from Virginia up to Pittsburgh and they were ambushed in the Monongahel
Of Valley fourteen hundred troops, you know, a full battalion of troops made
up primarily of British but also some Americans, and George Washington was the senior
most American officer, but he was only a colonel, so he was way
down in the ranks of the British military homehierarchy. They were ambushed and the
Indian sharpshooters were told, you have to shoot all the men on horseback first,
because you know they're the officers, and if we can take down the
officers, then we can take over, we can take over the everybody,
we can capture everybody. So one by one those British officers went down,
including Braddock, the general who was in charge. He went down and he
died later on, but they all went down. There was one man standing
who they couldn't seem to shoot, and that was Colonel Washington. He was
the last man on horseback, and he was on his third horse because he
had already had two other horses shot out from under him. But he got
on the third horse, and by that time he's rounding up the troops to
retreat because there's no way they're going to prevail. They need to save their
lives, so they have a successful retreat. That night, George Washington takes
off his uniform coat and he finds four bullet holes through his uniform, four
different holes. And he realized that but for the grace of God, I
would have I would have been killed too. That it was only God's intervention,
God's protection that he had that saved his life. And we know this
is true fact because he wrote a letter that has been preserved to his brother
praising God for saving him. From that time on in his life, George
Washington knew he had the protection of God, and then he could lead the
American people from the front. He could be in the front line on his
horse, and he'd be protected by God. And indeed he was in all
his subsequent battles in the Revolutionary War. He was a remarkable man, unbelievable.
He was a He's an American Saint right right now. So many Americans
July fourth feel demoralized. What we feel confused? Were not together as Americans
anymore? Dei and other chopping up cusin arts. You're defined by race,
by color, by sexual orientation, and that wasn't the concept. And the
most beautiful thing in your columns got pwell is the idea that an individual person
can sue and win against the United States of America if the cause is just
George Washington could win against the evil British Empire, if the cause is just.
No other country in the world. You can't be a brit Today or
a German or a south You can't be living in Uruguay or China and walk
into a courtroom and say I'm taking down the United States of America. I'm
going to use the authority of the Constitution to guard my individual rights. So
when we talk about Americans today, one person what brown versus Board of Education.
One person can say the system is wrong. It may take me a
while, but I'm bringing it down. And George Washington was the first person
that said the system is wrong. I'm taking it down. And a couple
sentences in your column is so good about Ronald Reagan. And about the Abraham
Lincoln, You say, Thomas Jefferson, who was the champion and wrote the
Declaration of Independence, called America the world's best hope. Abraham Lincoln, whose
cause became expanding freedom by abolishing slavers, called America the last best hope on
earth. Ronald Reagan said, quote, if we lose freedom here, there's
no place to escape too. This is the last stand on earth. Do
Americans today come out of high school or college having those feelings about our country?
No, they don't, because look, we have been in a spiritual
battle to destroy America and our enemies, and our primary enemies. You know,
we have the Bible as sort of our guide to living a good life,
to living a godly life, and most of all of our problems are
answered in the scripture. You mean, you name a relational problem in life,
marriage, or anything else, you'll find the answer in the Bible.
But we have an enemy, and they all also have their own play bookook
and Marxism. Leninism is the primary playbook that they read from. And they
have always targeted you know, they've targeted Christianity, They've targeted the family.
They want to destroy Christianity they want to destroy the family. And the third
thing they want to destroy is to erase the memory of the people of the
society in which they're trying to take over, erased from their memory anything of
their history. And they've succeeded. They've succeeded. They succeeded for the public
school system, the Department of Education to totally basically degreat America in the eyes
of young children who are learning about the history of their great country. And
this is a crime. The first thing that Donald Trump should do is to
defund and disassemble the Department of Education. You know, Jimmy Carter established the
Department Education in nineteen seventy seven. Who in their right mind thinks that education
is better today than it was in nineteen seventy seven before we had a Department
of Education. Number One, the kids have got to come out of high
school and college with the deep love of this country with all of its problems,
and thought they should say, you know what, wave the flag,
I'm an American. We saved the world constantly from the Nazis and from the
fascists. We saved the world from communism. That flight is ongoing. You
conclude your column, Scott Powell by saying, let's make the July fourth a
day a celebration of our founding ideals and also a time and renewed commitment to
engage and wake up everyone. We know that is time to resist creeping tyranny
and political corruption and reclaim sovereignty over the precious possessions of our freedoms and rights.
Just as Washington succeeded against impossible odds by perseverance, courage, and the
truth, we too will prevail. Why do you have faith in the future.
I want to know why. I look around and I see nothing but
difficulties. Why do you continue to have faith? Because you know the God
who opened the Red Sea to deliver the Israelites from the pursuing Pharaoh's great army
and chariots, that same God is on his throne today. The God who
raised Lazarus from the dead after four days being in the tomb is the same
God today. The figure of Jesus Christ, who was so God's son,
was so powerful that a woman who was suffering from hemorrhage for many years,
she said to herself, if I can only touch his garment, I will
be healed. She believed that, and she was healed. This is the
same God. We have, the same God today that we did then.
I think God is allowing us to pass through the valley of the Shadow of
Death, that we might all wake up and see evil face to face and
say, you know, we have to stand up. We have to fight
this evil, just as those colonists did in studying in seventeen seventy five when
the shot was heard around the world. In Lexington and conquered, and you
know where they recruited. The early patriots from the army all came out of
the churches. Well, no question, it's a great column. Celebrate what
we are, wave the American flag, be proud of your country. I'm
proud, and once again, Scott Powell, the column is great. It's
everywhere. You're a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and the column is
rediscovering the meaning and authority of July fourth. Scott Powell. May God bless
you and make God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you,
Bill, Oh God bless you. Let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham,
the Great American, live with you every Sunday. All right, Billy Cunningham,
the Great America. Let's continue now, you know, Scott Powell has
some great ideas, great column. Scott Powell is a great American, and
it talks about the meaningless Fourth of July holiday based upon the popular culture and
what's happening in the country today. It is not for very popular to be
patriotic. In fact, in many parts of our community, you seldom to
see the American flag flying at all, unless it's upside down, then it
does fly. And I'm not talking about Samuel Alito's wife. I'm talking about
in general that you don't see the American flag flying. And I live in
a part of the country I think is more patriotic than most, at least
at Reds baseball games Cincinnati Reds at my ballpark named after me, the Great
American, they sing God Bless America, the Star Spangled banner stand up.
But most of the country doesn't do that because it might be offensive. So
to have someone like Scott Powell go back in time and talk about the sacrifices
of the men who put this country together, I think is very very illustrative,
very good. And to think about George Washington, the eyes of that
guy, surviving Valley Forge, before that, getting horses shot from under him
and having four bullet holes in his soldier garments, none hitting flesh. According
to Scott Powell, I certainly believe that the case is the providence of God
Almighty, that the one indispensable character between seventeen seventy and an eighteen hundred was
George Washington, and he died in seventeen ninety nine, terribly died because the
doctors killed him, as much as he died because are the treatments given to
him. Nonetheless, as we conclude the fourth of July weekend now and many
people have not worked since Wednesday or Tuesday, reflect upon what they sacrificed and
what they gave and how the politicians of today look upon office is not a
sacrifice but as an excuse to make money, individuals, especially like Nancy Pelosi
and others who are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Of the Clinton
or the Obamas, they monetized their office to a large extent, and that's
quite sad, but that's the way things are. I stay tuned for more
coming up next. As Mary Margaret Olahan, he's written a rather definitive work
on escaping the transgender cult and where it came from some great stories. I
read the book very interesting and how elementary schools, high schools and colleges encourages
kind of behavior when probably one tenth of one percent of the population is is
a fixed with this difficulty. But she has some great stories. I'm sure
you're going to enjoy. The line becomes available. The line becomes available eight
six six six four seven, seven three three seven plus later on is the
great Michael McDonald of the Catholic League. Bill Cunningham, the Great American,
with you and all great Americans every Sunday. Bill Cunningham, the Great American.
I tell the story many years ago about the Human Rights Campaign, and
the Human Rights Campaign was started literally thirty years ago in order to mainstream gay
rights and also gay marriage. The key element of the Human Rights Campaign was
to bring gay marriage to the United States of America. And after the US
Supreme Court decision about five years ago written by just As Anthony Kennedy, the
issue was one and gay rights were secured and marriages were permitted, and the
Human Rights Campaign had buildings, had a staff of six hundred people, had
used rench to pay and so they said we have to get ridden out of
gay marriage is something we're going to fight about. What about trans kids?
Can we sell the idea to parents, the school boards, to the media,
to the general public that there's a terrible problem with children who think they're
locked in someone else's body, that they're male, but they think they're female,
or they're female and they want to become male, And can we sell
the idea this is the next civil rights horizon And many said that's never going
to work. People are going to buy this one. However, here we
are, many years later, and it's arrived, and in fact, it
is an element of truth in many schools in California. They came out a
few days ago with a message starting in August that if your kids are going
to transition from one gender to another, so that parents will not be told
about what's happening in school, it's unbelievable. A new book is out by
Mary Margaret Olihan d Trands, True Stories of Escaping the Gender Cult and Mary
Margaret, welcome, I think for the first time to the Bill Cunningham Show.
And so can you first tell the American people the issue itself and the
death of the problem, and how we're responding to it as a government.
Yes, great to be here. So this is a book that I wrote
because I was noticing just a flew of young people coming forward and saying I
was duped by this gender ideology. I was like, you know, portrayed
by these medical professionals, And once there were enough of them coming forward,
it seemed to really confirm what many of us have been saying for a long
time, which was that, you know, when LGBTQ activists tried to say,
you know, these so called transgender protections that we're trying to enact,
are only going to apply to adults, We're not talking about children here,
they were not being honest. And what we have found is that media,
activists and lawmakers have been very manipulative in explaining what they have been trying to
enact, which ultimately we now know is transgender surgeries, hormones and puberty blockers
for adults and for children in the name of so called gender affirming care.
And what these activists and media and lawmakers will say is that these procedures are
necessary to save people from committing suicide, and they will say this about children
very frequently. I was just looking at research from a doctor the other day
who was making the argument that, even though she is well aware that puberty
blockers cause very serious problems in children's bone density, she argued that the risks
were worth it given that kids who think that their trans are probably going to
kill themselves if they don't get access to this. Now, that is a
lie, it's not true. In fact, what we're finding out now is
that when you put children on these drugs, when you put children through these
surgeries, it is actually worse for their mental health. Shocking, but that's
not accepted by the broader medical community right now because they're so tightly attached to
this gender ideology. And so we're in a very weird place right now where
our media or medical organizations, Hollywood, the White House are all telling us
that kids need things that are very obviously wrong for them. You know,
when a little girl in her early teens is struggling with mental health issues,
the last thing she needs is her breast removed. You know, the last
thing she needs is to be put on to stosterone, which is going to
affect her body very, very dramatically, both physically and mentally. But that's
what we're being told that these children need. And so part of the reason
I wrote this book is because I wanted to give people a close up view
of the real reported stories of de transitioners, young people who tried to do
this and then realized it was impossible. It's all in their words, it's
their stories, their lived experiences, and I wanted to give it to people
in a very raw way and help people understand the realities of what's going on
here, because it's not care it really is and it's very dangerous, and
I think that the best people to explain this are the people that live through
it, and so your book deals with that. So Mary Margaret, I
cannot imagine a thirteen or fourteen year old going through a genital mutilation and hormonal
therapy that completely changes their body to something it wasn't. And I could not
think of any other area of life where we would allow a preteen somewhat a
child under the age of eighteen to make lifelong decisions about their health. And
really, the American Medical Association, the president Joe Biden, is all in
favor of of transgender rights and transitioning, always with a happy ending. There's
a basketball player in the NBA named Way who played for Miami, who has
a child that's transitioned from male to female. But isn't there a study from
England over the last fifteen or twenty years that demonstrates that's the so called puberty
blockers and cross sex hormones and gender affirming surgeries. By the time these individuals
come out the other side in their twenties and their thirties, many are extremely
sad their parents didn't defend them better. Yes, yes, and actually I
would say European countries are far ahead of the United States when it comes to
this issue. They have recently taken a number of debts to protect kids from
these irreversible and experimental procedures. But meanwhile, in the United States, our
medical professionals are very much pushing forward with all of these things, despite seeing
our European colleagues and friends doing the exact opposite. And you know, as
the the transitioners and my book shared with me, Uh, this is something
that these kids can't actually consent to. One because they're kids, so which
is not something we talk about enough. But two because they're so mentally ill.
All of them are really struggling with mental health issues, and so they're
not able to give informed consent. The other thing is they're not These things
aren't explained to them properly, So I don't know if everyone's familiar with the
WPATH files. The release of the WPATH files recently. That's the World Professional
Transgender Health Association, a group of so called experts that are transgender doctors,
and these doctors were exposed to have been having private conversations about how they knew
that testosterone, for example, with cogniti, some girls to grow tumors.
They knew that the thoughtsterone was causing some girls to be infertile. They knew
and had conversations about the fact that some of their patients were so mentally ill
that they could not properly give informed consent. And yet all of these things
were kept under wraps until the release of the WPATH files because these so called
experts didn't want to go against their own narrative, so they were knowingly pushing
things that they knew were dangerous and experimental while privately talking about how they were
dangerous and experimental, which is so incredibly evil when you realize the magnanimtude of
what we're talking about here. There was one story I heard that I will
never forget about a young girl who underwent a double misctomy as part of her
gender affirming care, and afterwards she asked the doctor, so how long is
it going to take for them to grow back? So that's a girl who
was so naive and uninformed about her body that she genuinely thought that her breast
would ultimately grow back when they never will. And I think that's a really
good example of how our young people are being duped in this way. They're
being given information that they're not fully digesting, that they can't fully understand because
they're kids, and they're being allowed to make decisions that are just way over
their head. And Mary, Margaret, you would hope that we as a
society advances we think we are, would say that if the parents agree to
play in to the mental fantasies of a child, that there would be teachers
and principles and doctors and children's hospitals and medical associations and the government that would
say, we understand that you're fourteen and you think you're a male and a
female body, but you cannot legally smoke a cigarette, you cannot legally drink
alcohol, you cannot legally contract to do anything. We will look after you
and help get you the mental health health health that you need, but we're
not going to engage in cutting off your genital parts, and we're not going
to give you a hormonal therapy that changes who you are because the underlying problems
that cause the difficulty in the first place would be there. Where are the
adults? Where are the adults to say we will not allow this to happen.
Because if a child is confused and unhappy and has mental health issues,
and about forty percent of young girls because of the social media, et cetera,
have mental health issues, where are the parents? Where are the schools?
Where are the doctors? Where are the children's hospitals? To saying,
let's wait till you're eighteen, Mary Margaret. If somebody's nineteen, twenty,
twenty five or thirty and they're an adult and they want to make this decision,
I'm saying, have at it. If you're an adult and you want
to go to a drag Queen's Story Hour, If you're an adult and you
want to transition, have at it. But if you're a child, why
doesn't adult society say you can't do this? What where are the adults?
This is a great question, and I think. You know, I sincerely
hope and I actually do believe that history. We'll look back on this moment
and ask that very question when we've left this horrible period far behind us,
because the adults in the room are very much turning a blind eye to the
realities here and opting to go to embrace ideology over sat facts and science and
what we're hearing. You know, there are certainly parents who for selfish and
narcissistic reasons push their children into transition. That absolutely is something that happens,
and it's a very horrible thing, you know, when when these kids are
very small. But I think what's happening more often, and this is incredibly
sad, is Uh. These kids are from you know, your average secular
American family. Maybe they're not super tuned in to politics, and they're at
school, they're learning about gender ideology, they're learning about it online. They're
friends at school are identifying as trans or something, and so they themselves become
interested in it. Maybe it's counselor at school of friends then and tells them,
yes, your trance. And so these kids, let's say, like
a thirteen year old girl comes home and says, mom and dad I'm not
a girl. I'm actually a boy, and I need you to help me
get hormones and surgery because that's what I'm told that I need. And so
these parents, you know, they love their daughter, that's their beautiful little
girl. They think, what's no way in heck my daughter is supposed to
get a double mus sectomy. I've known her ever since she was born.
I know for a fact that she's not a boy, and I know she
doesn't have masculine interest. But at the same time, they think, I
don't know what I'm supposed to do here. Maybe they're afraid of the school,
and the school is telling them you have to do something here. And
so what most of these parents are doing, tragically is they think, Okay,
this is over my head. I'm gonna go speak to a medical professional
about this. And unfortunately, the medical professionals are betraying parents. And so
when parents go in trusting them and saying, look, I don't know what
to do here. This seems crazy. My kid's telling me she's a boy,
what the medical professionals will say is, yep, your daughter's a boy,
and if you don't affirm her transgender identity, she's gonna hurt herself,
and the exact line that they give to parents, And this gives me chills
every time I say it, would you rather have a dead daughter or a
living son? And they say that that's a threat. There's a threat to
parents saying if you don't comply with our version of ideology, gender ideology,
then your kid will kill herself and it will be your fault. And so,
you know, unsurprisingly, parents think, oh my gosh, I gotta
do this, like this is clearly what I like. I wish I didn't
have this happening, but I got to do this for my kids. And
so a lot of parents are going along with it. And I had the
most the saddest conversation recently with one of the girls in my book. Her
name's Luca, and she told me that her mom was very against her transitioning,
but her mom, you know, was given this line by the doctors,
and so Luca's mom ultimately went along with it. And she said that
when she realized, you know, after the surgery, after the hormones,
she had this moment of realization, oh my gosh, I don't feel better.
I'm not happier, I feel worse, And she had this moment where
she realized, I regret what I have done and I need to like undo
it. And she said she called her mom and she had to say,
you're right, I shouldn't have done any of this. And she said she
and her mom both sobbed the entire conversation the whole time, because what she
was basically saying to her mom was your gut was right. You should have
trusted it. And you know, she's very respectful about her mother, and
all of the de transitioners I've talked to are very hesitant to put any blame
on their parents. But in Luca's case, her mom's gut was right.
Her mom should have trusted her gut, and unfortunately, these medical professionals convinced
her not to and convinced her to put her child through these horrific things.
So, you know, I have a lot of empathy for these parents.
Obviously, they should have made different decisions, They should have done more research.
You know, they at the end of the day, they should have
better cared for their children. But I think these are unprecedented times. You
know, this is we're in very scary and crazy times where parents have to
navigate a world where people want to they want to. I mean, at
the end of the day, they want to butcher their children. And that
sounds horrible, but you know, at the end of the day, it's
largely true. What do you call a doctor who removes a teenage girl's breasts
by telling her it's going to make her happier when he has no idea if
that's actually true. I think, you know, at the end of the
day, this is very much harming children. It's very dangerous and experimental,
and I God bless the parents that are dealing with all of this, because
it is not a danger that our society has been confronted with recently, and
it's an absolutely terrible hurdle for them. Mary Margaret revealing the truth about transgenderism
and its industry. A lot of money involved, so disturbing that transgender activists
will do anything and try to hide this story because of the money and because
of the political activism. Because children with mental problems now layer the other problems
on top of the other problems, and by the time they get to be
twenty five or thirty, they look back and ask their mom or dad,
why'd you do this to me? And mom might say, well, I
was told do you want a dead daughter or a living son? And the
parents are in a difficult position. They go to the doctor, to the
medical industry and they say, oh no, oh no, a lot of
mental a lot of mental problems. We're gonna We're gonna cut off your genitals
and then things will be better. The book is once again Mary Margaret Olahan
and the True Stories of Escaping the Gender cult. And thank you for coming
on the Bill Cunningham Show. Get the truth out and the truth will set
us all free. Mary Margaret, thank you very much, thank you so
much for having me. God bless you. Let's continue with more. Wow.
Duwayne Wade has left. The basketball player has left Florida because he thinks
transgender rights are not being allowed in Florida. I like to check in with
him in about ten years to see what his new daughter thinks about the behavior
of the parents. Bill Cunningham, the Great American Live with you every Sunday
Night. Billy Cunningham and Mary Margaret Olihan points out many things that we now
live in a culture in which the behavior of transgenderism encourage, in fact paid
for. The difficulties I pointed out is that if the patient if the fifteen
year old girl wants to transition to a boy. In addition to that,
her parents say, we agree with the quote transition in the process. And
thirdly that doctor agrees that it should be done. And then fourthly the hospital
children's hospitals say let's do it. It's almost the role of the state to
reach into all those organizations and say, you know what, we don't let
kids that are fifteen years old to have a tattoo. We don't let kids
of that age. Shall we say to contract in any way when only kids
that age to get married, They can't drive a car, you can't smoke
a cigarette. You mean you can have your your penis cut off? Is
that possible? And so even if the whole system is against it, she
points out that many should still oppose it, even though it's a lifelong decision
that has lifelong consequences and doesn't really solve the problem anyway. Let's continue with
more up next. New York City's Michael McDonald of the Catholic League Bill Cunningham
with you every Sunday night, Willie Brough You by Choice. Hotels, Econo
Lodge and rodway In Hotels are serving up double points for every qualifying stay book
at Choice Hotels dot com. Now here's the man who's been recognized as radio's
best, the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards for his
broadcast exodence, the one and only Bill Cunningham. Bill Cunningham, the Great
American. And we just celebrated and it sends juneteenth. June nineteenth, which
was the date that the San Antono slaves were advised by a union officer that
they were in fact free, and between June teenth and the fourth of July.
I've read many columns that indicates the real holiday, the real freedom,
should be June teenth, and that the fourth of July should be taken down
as a holiday because so many Americans were not free on the fourth of July,
they weren't free until June nineteenth, etc. And I find that reprehensible
and wrong. I don't mind having an additional holiday, many people want to
be off work. But nonetheless, we find ourselves now having to defend the
United States of America against the radical left and defend America's interests in slavery,
which, by the way, was strictly a democratic party function. The Republican
Party was formed in eighteen fifty eight by Abraham Lincoln to stop slavery as the
Democrats who imported the slaves, kept the slaves, beat the slaves, raped
the slaves, and then fought a war in my country. Declared war in
the United States of America so they could keep slaves in America the Union one
and then after that for the next fifty or sixty years, the Democratic Party
formed the ku Klux Klan and other apparatuses to enslave more blacks and to beat
them. But the Republican Party fought it like warrior poets. So when I
go to the Catholic League website this fourth is July weekend, I see debunking
debunking slavery myths this July fourth. Joining you and I now from New York
in the Catholic League, is Michael McDonald. Michael McDonald, Happy fourth of
July, and welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And can you tell the
American people the essence of this column penned by Bill Donahue With your leadership,
I'm sure about debunking slavery myths on July fourth and defending this country. Say
happy forth there, Bill, Always good to talk with you, Yeah,
So it's very simple, as you laid out, the radical left, the
woke progressive crad loves canceling the fourth of July. They want us to believe
that, like the New York Times sixteen nineteen project states that America wasn't founded
on July fourth, seventeen seventy six, a great day, but instead it
was founded back in sixteen nineteen with the introduction of slavery to the territory that
would eventually become the United States. They love going around talking about how the
Constitution stripped black people of their personhood even and embedded slavery into the American institutions,
and ultimately that leads to the white supremacy that we see today. And
all of that is just total, absolute bs and garbage. It is just
this continuing attack on America. One of the things they like to point out,
Bill is the three fifth Compromise, which was actually something that was put
into the Constitution as a poison pill against slavery. Right, So, when
the founding fathers were sitting down in Philadelphia to write the Constitution, the South,
the slave States wanted every single they couldn't vote they should count as a
whole person in terms of the census, which would then give the South approximately
fifty percent of the seats in the Congress. Right, just just like today,
it's all just determined by population in the states. That they wanted to
count the slaves as people in terms of the census, but didn't want to
give them any rights for being people. The North, on the other hand,
said you don't want that's now we're not going along with this. If
you're not giving them rights to be people, then they shouldn't even count in
the census. So this way, then the North, if that proposal had
gone through, it would have been closer to a sixty to forty split in
favor of the North, really diminishing the political power of the South, which,
right, that's a huge deal. If the South wanted to keep pushing
west and expand slavery without that political power, that would become significantly harder.
And so ultimately it was deciding cooler heads prevailed. It would be a three
fifths compromise, Soors would maintain a little bit more of a advantage in the
House that gave them fifty three percent of the seats. Roughly in the South
got forty seven percent of the seats and if you look at American history even
up until the Civil War, that is huge because it is that favor,
the Three Fist Compromise, giving more political favor to the North ultimately is what
limits the expansion of slavery to the point that it's dying a slow death by
the eighteen sixties. Right, let's go back a little bit beyond that.
Right now, in America today, on this fourth of July weekend, the
UN says numerically, there's more slaves today than ever before in human history.
In fact, it was the British, the English, the Americans. Western
civilization is the entity in the eighteen thirties, forties, fifties, and eighteen
sixties that said we got to stop slavery. It's got to end. So
America was at the forefront of stopping slavery along with the Britain the others,
while other parts of the world accelerated. In fact, only about fifteen percent
of the slaves that were sold by African leaders to the Europeans made it to
the United States of America most one elsewhere. Correct, Yes, that's correct,
And the United States was very strong. It's steeped in that Anglo common
law tradition. Of actually recognizing people's rights, which in a lot of ways
states back to things said by the popes in the sixteenth century on limiting the
practice of slavery. So the Catholic Church was right there really pushing that.
You know, this concept of human rights, the basic decency of all humans
created equals should not be subjugated. No one should be subjugated to slavery.
It's a moral wrong, and that is ultimately what's the tipping point. But
if you look, as you pointed out rightfully, slavery is still a functioning
institution of these cultures that have not raced Christianity, Christian values that are not
steeped in the common law tradition of the Anglo Saxons. So yeah, this
is a big problem. Is it's not even unique to America. I mean,
even the international slave trade wasn't started by a bunch of European explorers going
into Africa. You know, Vasco da Gama didn't go into African sale.
By the way, we're doing slavery now and we're taking a bunch of you
with us. It was starting the African chiefs, warlords, what have you
already had their people as slaves and said Hey, European explorers, we can
sell you some slaves if you'll give us some money or rifles or whatever it
is, the beads, whatever the hell they were trading at the time,
right, So that's that's where this comes from. It wasn't like a bunch
of white people showed up and said we're taking you to America. Now,
this grew out of an institution that is slavery, unfortunately, the institution that
dates back all the way to the beginning of human civilization. It is just
unfortunately with us. Aristotle even was like, yeah, you know, slavery,
it's been around forever, so it can't be morally bad. And that's
the thing that if you go far back in your ancestry, you're going to
find that your ancestors were slaves and at another point that they owned slaves.
Like, it's just true, we've all done it. There shouldn't be reparations
just simply because of that. Everyone at one point owned slaves and everyone another
point was a slave. So you know, you know, at some point
soon I'm going to get an award as a great Irishman, and I going
back into Irish history, the Brits imprisoned enslaved and killed, I would say,
murdered millions of Irish Catholics over the years because they were the wrong religion.
But also the Ours were considered to be like rats and cockroaches, resulting
in the Potato famine of the eighteen forties and fifties, with a specific intent
by the Brits of killing as many Ours as they find wherever they could be
located. And so I still have angst against London and against Britain for its
treatment of my ancestors for hundreds of years. In fact, it's reported that
about one third of the Irish were killed, I say murdered by the Brits
over the eighteen thirties, forties, fifties and sixties, and that was the
nature of things at that point. And to get on the slave ships,
there were literally thousands of African chieftains who sold their own people into slavery,
and Thomas Sole points out that there were literally thousands of black Americans who owned
slaves in the South. There were about four to five thousand slave owning blacks
who owned tens of thousands of slaves in the South. So to smear only
America with this is ridiculous. It's all wrong. I hate it. I
wish all this hadn't happen, but we didn't start it, but damn it,
we finished it. Oh, absolutely right there. In a lot of
ways, what the sixteen nineteen Project Blakes to accuse Americans are doing is more
probably apt in Ireland in a lot of ways, that was really the test
run for how brutal you can be with colonialism, and they realized after multiple
Irish rebellions, said okay, actually we got to temper this back a little
bit. But even to the point about African Americans owning slaves before the Civil
War, this is actually, you know something that's very interesting, right about
ten percent of the country owned slaves, about ten percent of free blacks owned
slaves, So they're kind of like right on par with everyone else with what
they're doing. You know. They make this big point about criminal justice reform
coming out of the left to day that well, there's more black men in
prison, therefore the institution must be wrong. Well, if we're to apply
that logic that the blacks own the same percentage of black's own slaves, then
maybe we were more equitable back then, before we even had this crazy notion
of equity. Now it's I'm reading a UN report today there's an estimated thirty
million men, women and children and the world that are enslaved, physically confined,
restrained and forced to work, or controlled through violence or in some way
treated as properly property. Today there's more slaves seized from Africa over those four
centuries. That was the slave trade, before, during, and after America
ended it. I'm proud of my country to stop it. In a sense,
I'm proud of Western Europe to stop slavery. And it did not begin
America, as the country was not formed until seventeen eighty seven when we had
the Constitution, and the sixteen nineteen project ignores history that the land we call
the United States were controlled by the Dutch, by the French, by the
British, by the Spaniards, by the Portuguese, and by the Indians,
and between sixteen nineteen and seventeen seventy six, which was what about one hundred
and fifty six years, that other European nations controlled the land we call the
United States of America. And when America was formed, the founding fathers,
over the objections of the democrats in the South, wanted to put in the
Constitution the availability of freeing slaves in this country, which was a brand new
idea and shocking to the rest of the world. And in fact, we
went to war Abraham Lincoln the Republican Party to stop the Democrats. And I
point this out to Michael McDonald to the Catholic League. In eighteen seventy six,
when Tilden defeated Hayes on the popular vote and there was a tie up
in the House in the Senate, who should be the president the Republican Party,
Hayes struck a deal with Tilden who said that okay, you can become
the Republican President, Hayes from Ohio, but you have to agree to get
all the federal troops out of the South so that Democrats in the South could
become the brutalization once again of blacks in the South, which became the ku
Klux Klan and Jim Crow laws, and that entire history talking about canceling someone
for their political beliefs. The modern Democrat Party in major cities, we've largely
destroyed those cities with progressive left wing philosophies that have not been There's been no
come to Jesus meeting between African Americans and the Democrats in your city of New
York, or in my city of Cincinnati, or in Chicago, saying,
look what the Democratic Party's done to us over the past two hundred and fifty
years. And right now the cities are destroyed and because of the policies,
and the black family is destroyed because of the Democrat Party. Wonder will there
be a come up and for that, oh, there needs to be one.
And go just a little bit further back in American history. You know,
in eighteen sixty, the best the Democrats could do they had one candidate,
one candidate the essentially three they fielded that the best he could do to
condemn slavery was, well, it should be a matter of popular sovereignty.
We're going to let the states vote on if slavery is right or if it's
wrong. So yeah, good good luck stopping that if that's the best your
party to do. And it's a shame because that continues on to this day.
There's a lot of progressive thinkers on the left going back into history that
essentially have said that, well, you know, the blacks can't really take
care of themselves. And these are left wing individuals saying this, such as
Paul Fitzhugh, America's first sociologists. He they can't take care of themselves,
so we have to have slavery. This is what essentially the left was saying
in the eighteen fifties. And if you look at just like today, you're
talking about the cities like look at New York, one of the least favorable
environments for school choice, yeah, in the country, And that would be
the quickest way to give every single American a handuff to make sure they get
into a good Catholic school, a good private school, a good charter school.
But here in New York they're putting the kibosh on expanding the roles for
the charter schools, and just forget about anything else involving school choice. That
would be the number one The Democrats to this day continue hinue to just keep
down black people, working class people, aspanics. They don't care. But
can we really be surprised? They've got a demented old fool leading their party
right now who said that, you know, he didn't want his kids growing
up in a racial jungle, So can we be really surprised? Can we
be really surprised? The best hope is that we get good common sense leaders
in Washington that can set the tone and say, listen, we got to
get back to the values that made a rate in the first place. That
that is the only hope. And you know, I'm a little bit biased.
I did do four years in the Trump administration, so clearly I do
have a dog in the fight. But the Democratic Party continues on that legacy.
Okay, maybe they're not going around and saying high minded ideas like oh,
well, popular sovereignty, Well, we'll let the states vote if they
want slaves or not. But their policies are just as devastating on black families.
Today, I watched Thomas Sultan abortion. There's more abortions of black babies
in New York City than births. And so if you have black skin and
you live in a democratically controlled blue city and a blue state, the achievement
rates of African Americans educationally, family formation, criminal misbehavior, and other debaucherous
acts are through the roof. And so many black folks are saying, we
can't take the lies anymore told to us by the Democrats. We need to
get out and get out among the red cities and the red states where we
have school choice. I live in little Cincinnati, Ohio, and the public
school system is awful, it's terrible. But as far as school choice,
fortunately the lawmakers in Columbus, Ohio have said, you got school choice.
Here's an eight thousand dollars voucher. And thousands of black kids are leaving the
inner city, thank god, their parents recognize the opportunities and going to suburban
schools where black kids are more than welcome and form family structurehave even a certain
fashion, which of course has to happen. But to be in New York
City or Chicago, or Atlanta or DC and to be ruled by the Democratic
Party lied to on a repeated basis, the same philosophy that enslaved black folks
in the South is the same philosophy in charge today in the major blue cities.
And I look forward to an occasion where the so called mainstream media will
say, this is what you promised, this is what you delivered, and
let's cancel the Democratic Party, because let's face it, it is not good
for the American people, whether in the military of the cops, educational enrollment,
family structure, whatever it is. Abortions has become a sacrament to the
Democrat Party. Well, Michael McDonald, I got to run. But thanks
for coming on to you and Bill Donnoue at the Catholic League dot com as
a Catholic League dot org dot com and you and yours dot org have a
wonderful Fourth of July weekend. And thank you very much. Thank you you
too, Billy, You're great American. God bless you. Let's continue with
more Bill Cunningham, the Grand American Live with you every Sunday Night by Billily
cunning Him the Great America and Michael McDonald and I, as a practicing Roman
Catholic, does not excuse slavery in any context, but put it in context
as he's done in this column. Go to Catholic League dot org and can
read the whole situation. And America and Western Europe did everything in its power
to stop the nasty institution of slavery. In fact, if the founding fathers
had not agreed to leave the issue open, the United States of America would
not have existed at all, because the Southern states, North and South Carolina,
Virginia would not have entered the Union. They would have formed their own
country. And God knows what would have happened after that. So it was
very wise of the Founding fathers to kind of exclude slavery from the original Constitution,
but put in the mechanism available to stop it in the long run.
And they did, and thank god we did. And even though the rest
of the world from Africa to Asia, South America continue with slavery, America
should get some credit for stopping it and stopping it in its tracks. And
but for the intercession of the Democrats in the South, which took one hundred
years of the Civil Rights Bill to finally pass in nineteen sixty four with Republican
assistance. God knows the status of things if Abraham Lincoln had lived and would
have kept the troops in the South well twenty or thirty years into the abilities
of the Democrats to have the ku Klux planet cetera. Let's continue with more.
Doctor Carrol Lieberman is next on the status of America today, all with
you Bill Cunningham every Sunday night. So as we continue, Doctor Carol Lieberman
is an expert of many things. She's a Ford certified psychiatrist, and she's
wonderful when it comes to issue of cognitive health. She's a real medical doctor.
She is a psychiatry Board certified psychiatrist and award winning and best selling author
and doctor Carol Lieberman. Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show and Doctor Lieberman.
There are many issues I want to cover with you. Time is so
limited. But number one, it appears that the media which spent months and
years telling us that anyone who questioned the psychiatric condition of Joe Biden's was conducting
in fake videos and AI and that it was ridiculous to consider the fact that
our president is not cognitively alert, which has been present for two or three
years, and if you went after him, it was all political. And
so give me first your perspective. You have a posting here that's seventy percent
of the American people, seventy percent say that a voters doesn't have mental,
cognitive and health to serve for the next four and a half years. Whoever
we elect this November is going to be there in January of twenty twenty nine.
January of twenty twenty nine, So give me your view expressing this column
about what the voters believe about Joe Biden's cognitive declines. Well, it's about
time that the voters woke up to just how declined he is. I have
been talking about this, trying to warn people in twenty twenty, for the
when he ran in twenty twenty from his basement that he had I called it
encroaching dementia. And since then it has continued to encroach evermore. And now
you don't have to be a psychiatrist or a forensic psychiatrist to see it.
And now, of course, of course, a lot of people are very
resistant to that idea, resistant to believe in what they see, because you
know, these are the people who don't want to vote for Trump, and
they would vote for a banana if it was running against him. So but
you know, so a lot of his symptoms a lot of the symptoms of
dementia. And I've never examined Joe Biden personally. I have to say that
I did. I wrote a column and an op ed that invited him,
a letter to him that was published that invited him to take a cognitive exam
that I would give him. And of course, still waiting for the phone
to ring. Don't think that's going to happen. But at least you know,
people are realizing this and it's so dangerous. You know. One of
the latest things that came out is he's talking about how he doesn't he can't
do any work after eight pm. Well, I'm glad now, I'm glad
now Bouten and all our other enemies know that if they're going to strike America,
you better do it after eight pm. He's standard time. I mean,
it's so crazy. We are in such danger and before and after eight
pm, and not to mention, of course, the danger of terrorists in
our country increasingly in our country. It's a sad juxtaposition of what ought to
be as opposed to what is. And I look at the cover up.
This makes Watergate cover up looked like child's play because you had beginning with maybe
one of your compatriots, doctor Joe Biden, who is a doctor in an
education is with him. I would assume almost every hour of every day,
she knows what's going on. The Pretorian guard around Joe Biden knows what's going
on. Those who have met with him, Democrats and Republicans know what's going
on. And it's been not shocking. On June twenty seventh, when the
debate took place, people were shocked. I can't believe what I'm seeing.
And if you got most of your news in the mainstream media, you thought
this guy could do backflips like some own biles, and he could stand on
his on one hand, and he could recite the Kuran backwards. And so
I'm thinking, what the hell are we dealing with there? Isn't it amazing
that after the twenty seventh the majority of the American people saw something they've not
seen before. And if that's the case, where the hell have they been
the past four or five years? Exactly where have they been? And in
fact, you know I was talking about it in twenty twenty, but apparently
in twenty nine there the family he was diagnosed in twenty nineteen, and it
was all hushed up. I didn't even know that, just just until just
a few days ago. Tucker Carlson has a video online about it. You
know, he's giving a talk in Australia or in New Zealand, I don't
know. And he talked about how he had a friend who was friends with
Biden's sister val and they knew back then. And then I did an interview
with Simon Conway and he was talking about how when they came into his studio
in twenty nineteen that he told Jill Biden that there's something wrong with Joe.
You should take him to a doctor, right, And she didn't listen,
of course, So, well, if you're in the cover of Vogue magazine,
why would you want to listen to someone who would take you off the
cover of Vogue? And at this point exactly doctor Carol Lieberman Oxios is reporting
that he works, according to how staff so to speak, from ten am
until four pm, with an afternoon nap. So assuming there's at three am,
Teleon, Well, who's making these decisions the past four years, who's
been appointing the federal judges? Who's doing the work? Who is it?
It's Obama, It's it's mainly Obama. He's pulling the strings. And that's
why our country is in such incredible and incredibly bad state, and that's why
we're more in danger of terrorists than ever before. It's Obama. And you
know, behind he's pulling the strings, behind the curtains, and it's really
very sad, and of course that's why he hasn't been you know, he's
been very sort of ambivalent about whether to you know, on the one hand,
he protects Joe, and on the other hand, you know, he
may be like talking to some people behind the scenes, but he wants Joe.
Unless it's going to be Michelle Obama, you may then put up.
He wants Joe to keep running because basically that's him running. Obama running well
now, Doctor Leamham and a completely different topic, Guy ten At many fourth
live events, parades, especially of one type or another, and I'm always
heartened by the fact that average Americans come out many times in thunderstorms and rain
to celebrate the greatness of our country and a outter the great heat, whatever
it might be. But I do notice one thing. There's many children,
and there's many folks over at the age of thirty and forty. And I've
noticed that between the ages of about eighteen years old and thirty, there's a
sense this is not a special country, that somehow we don't deserve to exist,
That somehow they've been taught by high school and colleges, as reflected by
what we see in the Ivy League demonstrations in favor of Amas who are the
murderers, that somehow the country is not worth saving. And the great majority
of younger folks do not get their information from talk radio or from you or
from me. They don't get their information even from mainstream media. What they
get their information from is the Internet and social media, maybe TikTok videos,
things of that character. And you've been around a long time as I have
been, are you a little concerned? And I think this is reflected by
the lack of enlistments in the military, that it is very difficult to get
people to serve as police officers or deputy sheriffs or corrections officers. The FBI,
the US Marshal Services looking for more recruits that come up the ranks.
I look all around, and my good friend mister Rowe tells me that every
year there's five men, generally men, but some women leaving the trades,
and every year about two enter. So there's a shortness of those who want
to work and a shortness of those who want to waive the American flag a
country worth saving. When I see fast food restaurants that can't serve fast food
anymore because they can't find employees willing to work and start at fifteen or twenty
dollars an hour, do you see long term? I mean in ten or
twenty years when these individuals are in charge that the country is fundamentally changing.
I am just heart sick about all of this. See this all the time,
I mean increasingly it. Of course, it has to do with with
what they're being taught in school, you know, I mean this somehow,
this has been creeping and we've kind we have. The one good thing about
the pandemic is that because it made most students do online learning, you know,
on a computer and so on, parents got to see some of what
was going on in school. And it is just awful. The teachers who
there are teachers, people who have become teachers, who have been gradually working
their way into the educational system, who are teaching this stuff, teaching what
a bad country America is. You know, how were we slaves and you
know, all all racist and all of this, and and you know,
capitalism is bad and I mean all of these things that are so anti American
and not true, and and so then they grow up thinking believing this,
and I mean, yes, it is very very I mean we're going to
be hitting deep, deep trouble if we I mean, we're going to have
to start the draft because people are going to want to sign up because they
you know, why should I sign? I mean, like after nine to
eleven there was so much patriotism and people rushed to sign up to join the
military. And if there was a nine to eleven now, you know,
they'd be sitting in their parents' basements watch playing violent video games. You know,
Doctor Karl Lieberman, I watch I hear about the view on ABC in
the morning. I watch it sometimes that you don't have to, and I
watch a segment with doctor Condaleza Rice, Secretary of State, a brilliant woman,
grew up in Alabama. She her and her family. She had a
structured family. They could not attend movie theaters in the nineteen fifties, they
couldn't go into some restaurants. It was terrible. And her mother and father
said, you know what, Conda, Liza, you're going to be successful
in life. You're going to work hard, work smart. You will overcome
the racism of that Southern regime. By the way, they were all Democrats,
the Democrats in the South who after the Civil War lynched and Jim Crow
laws for the same democrats in charge in the nineteen fifties and sixties. And
she made the point that she found it amazing as she succeeded now Condoleeza Rice,
who rarely plays golf, belongs to Augusta National Golf Course. But nonetheless,
she said, I find it amazing that when I talk about school choice,
and I talk about vouchers, and I talk about charter schools. And
I talked to the editorial board of the New York Times the Washington Posts,
who set the agenda for liberal America. I often ask those editorial board members,
do you send your children to New York City public schools? Do you
send your kids to Washington d c. Public schools? And she said,
I've never gotten a yes from any of them, who are telling everyone else
that charter schools and school choice and vouchers are wrong. And so the system
now makes sure that black kids grew up in dysfunctional cities with the dysfunctional streets
where moms and dads can't walk around, that marriage is almost irrelevant, and
we want to lock these kids. And the failing dysfunctional public schools just has
happened in the South of the nineteen fifties and sixties. And she made the
point to the view, how many of your kids are attending New York City
public schools? And him haul and around was unbelievable. So they preach one
a game to keep black kids held down. But then in their own lives
they go to Sidwell and other exclusive private schools. Can you smell when I'm
cooking? I never heard that expression? That's good? Well, you know,
I mean. The thing is that I'm not saying that there wasn't that
slavery back in the day and that there isn't still some degree of But the
problem is we're making it worse because with this teaching critical race theory in schools,
when kids are born, they don't know color. They're not the born
racist no matter what color they are. They care about kids, you know,
they take their friends by who they like and who's friendly to them and
who's nice to them and all of that. But teaching critical race theory that
one group is the oppressor and the other group is the oppressed right away,
starting in elementary school, you're creating racism. She made that point that you
can't come through an urban public school without being taught that the color of your
skin determines an outcome. And she said, if my parents had done that
to me in Alabama, I never would have been the Secretary of State.
I never would have walked in the corridors of power. I never would address
to you and if I thought the color of my skin would determine outcome.
But that's being taught because it's an excuse for the policy failures of those in
charge. I just lastly we had about two minutes form Manning. I'm going
to get you're so good about this. Those of us that have daughters or
granddaughters between fifteen and thirty years old, why is there a crisis among younger
girls, especially in boys when it comes to fitting into American society? Why
is there such a crisis today with drug use dropping out, obesity and also
marijuana use. Why is there such a crisis among that group. Well,
because they look at what's been happening, and they look at their future and
it doesn't seem bright. It doesn't seem people are feeling like, what's the
point. Why should I try hard to do well in school or to you
know, plan to have some kind of career or whatever. Why should I
aspire to anything? Like it seems like the world is going to end.
I mean, that's a combination of the pandemic, you know, where it
seemed that there was never any like the light at the end of the tunnel
never really came, and they were deprived of so much for two years,
and and so there's a sense of mortality, a sense of just why try,
like and then of course the world situation with you know, with Afghanistan,
by this horrible surrender in Afghanistan, just so many things all over the
world, you know, people threatening nuclear boutin and others threatening nuclear war.
I mean, it seems like there's not going to be a future there,
so they feel like why should they try. It's very depressing. They are
very depressed, and and about the country, you know, about feeling pride
in America, just to circle back to what we started talking about, and
and just in general, you know that that they feel defeated before they've begun.
And it's up to parents to really be, like I'd believes the Rice
as parents, you know, to encourage them, to inspire them, to
take them to extracurricular activities, to help them find what it is that they're
passionate about. Well, that's great, great, they're depressed, unhappy family
structure, meeting a man or if you're a man, meeting a woman and
forming a family having children, struggling, working hard. That's a problem,
isn't it. Yes, I mean with these dating apps and so on,
you know, dating, romance, love, it's it's kind of been really
ruined by dating apps. You know, if you know, if if we
get into an argument, I'll just swipe right or swipe left or whatever it
is. You know, I'll find somebody else who doesn't argue with me.
Or I mean, it's it's it's it's very as a very unfortunate state of
affairs. But each person is an individual and they can create their own future.
Doctor Carol Lieberman, you're the best there is that this. Thanks for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And please let's do it again. Let's
ring the bell and hopefully someone can hear the ring. Let's let's keep doing
it. Absolutely. Thank you, God bless America. I't's continue with more.
Bill Cunningham, the Grand American live with you every Sunday. Billy cunning
Integreat American. Thanks for listening this more or less Fourth of July weekend celebration
of the freedom of this great country. The great holidays to me are the
fourth of July and Thanksgiving and Christmas. The other ones you're okay too,
especially Veterans Day, things like that, very important, very important New Year's
Eve. That's that's important. All these other things are important. But without
the fourth of July, without the risk taken by about forty or fifty signers
of the Declaration of Independence and those who put together the Constitution, how different
would the world look? Are you kidding me? Completely different? I've said
before and I'll say it again. You may not like me to say this.
I'm saying it tonight. And that is the good. America is God's
representative on earth, and that Israel needs America's protection. So that's where we
are. I especially want to thank thank you Scott Powell for coming on about
hour or two ago to talk about the glories of the United States of America,
how we were formed, and how it was all more or less impossible
to consider that at that point that America to defeat the greatest military power in
the world. Until seventeen eighty seven, America was not a constitutional republic.
The Dutch were here, the French were here, the English were here,
Native Americans were here, the Spaniards were here, the Italians were here,
the Portuguese were here, and at some point those living said, we had
to form our own country, the United States of America, and put within
it the ability of future generations had changed completely the nature of this country.
But thanks for listening especially. We also want to thank Michel Mike McDonald of
the Catholic League at dot org check out his column on slavery and more.
And of course the great doctor Carol Leebelman who talks about seventy percent of us
understand that Joe Biden cannot service the president. Thanks for listening, and I'm
predicting by next Sunday or the son on you thereafter Biden is done politically,
go cunning him with you every Sunday. Else h
