WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:10.800 Bill cunning into Great America. Welcome this Monday afternoon. 2 00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:13.080 The Tri State Bill A basking in the glory of 3 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:14.199 the Bengals from last night. 4 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:15.480 They didn't look good, but they won. 5 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:17.480 Whenever you go on the road in the NFL and 6 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:19.920 win by double digits, no matter what happens, that's a 7 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.280 good night. Bengals back outed on Sunday with the Brownies, 8 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.800 and we'll see what happens with their quarterback situation Deshaun Watson, 9 00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.000 whether he's going to start or not. But for some reason, 10 00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.240 Moheger tells me that of the last eight games with 11 00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.840 the Brownies, the Bengals have won two. So somehow the 12 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.920 Bengals find a way to lose. And so we'll see 13 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.960 what happens on Sunday. But until then, the town hall 14 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.640 meetings are going on. Commercials are like crazy. I'm told 15 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:48.479 by the high Senate candidates that the the DNC, mainly 16 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.520 in the RNZ, is going to spend close to five 17 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.079 hundred million dollars in the race with Shared brown five 18 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.039 hundred million dollars. And Bernie Marino I said five hundred 19 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.439 million dollars for one Senate seat, basically lying in the 20 00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.400 American people because lives work more than the truth. But 21 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.959 nonetheless joining you and I now is Chris Smitherman. He's 22 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.040 a black man. He's being pandered to, he's being catered to, 23 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.040 he's in the barbershop, he's not voting the right way, 24 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.159 and the Democratic Party wants to know why. Chris Smitherman. 25 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.959 Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Chris Smitherman, how 26 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:19.280 are you? 27 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.439 I'm doing good? How are you doing? 28 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.640 You know this is not a new story bill that 29 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.599 the Democratic Party you know, and President Lyndon Johnson kind 30 00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.879 of set it up, has moved to this mentality that 31 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.400 I'll just vote Democratic and not have all of the information. 32 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.400 So you know this narrative that there is before you 33 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.239 even ask me the first question that there is this 34 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:53.120 black person, yeah, who speaks for the black community or 35 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.760 the African American community is just a third. The African 36 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.239 American community is not monolithic. We are are as diverse 37 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.760 as any other community. And leaders out here who believe 38 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.919 that they can tell African American men how to think, 39 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.439 how to vote, what their set of priorities should be 40 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.840 as Americans are just misinformed. And that is what you're 41 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.080 seeing happen right now. In this election. 42 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.719 And Chris, I think you're wrong, completely wrong, because white 43 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.280 men have white leaders. I can't identify who that is. 44 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:32.639 Hispanic men have Hispanic leaders. Who's that Asian individuals persons 45 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.960 have asianly, I'm sure they're out there. And so there's 46 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.960 one group in America that has to be told what 47 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.879 to do, and those are especially black men and black 48 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.719 women especially. And so when Barack Hussein Obama, the Black 49 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.599 Messiah arises from his homes either in Martha's Vineyard, Washington, DC, Chicago, 50 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.400 or Hawaii, and the media acts as if, Okay, we 51 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.919 finally have the great Black Jesus among us. You better 52 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.120 know your role, shut your mouth both the way he 53 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.879 tells you to vote, and that normally works done because 54 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.800 I know we have a bunch of white leaders, and 55 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.879 I get subliminal messages all the time from white leaders 56 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.719 telling me what to do because I can't figure it 57 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.319 out myself. And so, as a black man, aren't you 58 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.960 going to tow the company line and do what you're told, 59 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.039 know your role and shut your mouth. 60 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:26.360 President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama served our 61 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:31.840 country for eight years. But there isn't this person who 62 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.199 speaks for Black Americans, and so let me be clear 63 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.199 for you, Bill, what the issues are and what I think. 64 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.560 And I don't speak for African Americans, and I don't 65 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.360 speak for Black Americans. I speak for myself. I will 66 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.479 tell you kind of what I'm hearing. People are concerned 67 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.199 about the economy. Black men are concerned about their gas prices, 68 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.159 that their fuel, They're concerned about their rent, they're concerned 69 00:03:58.199 --> 00:03:59.439 about food prices. 70 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:00.680 I'm familiar. 71 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.560 They're concerned about the border because they're concerned about the 72 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.919 safety of their daughters. Meaning President former President Barack Obama 73 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.400 has two beautiful daughters who are protected every day by 74 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:14.280 the Secret Service. 75 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.120 That is not true for. 76 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.040 Most African American families out here, where their children have 77 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.079 to get up every day, go to a bus stop, 78 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.720 and some of them are worried about gun shots in 79 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.879 their community. They don't have the Secret Service flanking them 80 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.720 every day. That's part of the disconnect that I'm sharing 81 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.639 with you. The everyday African American man who's in a 82 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.759 barbershop or who's running their own business, whether it's a 83 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.839 technology company, whether it's a construction company, they're worried about 84 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.079 the same things that you're worried about brother and so 85 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.839 this notion to wake up and say, I now have 86 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.279 to vote for somebody based on the pigmentation of their skin, 87 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.839 and you want me to throw out all of my 88 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.680 economic concerns. I'm trying to wake up every day. I 89 00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.680 want to make sure I can feed my wife. I 90 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.800 want to make sure that I can feed my children. 91 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.560 Those are the issues that bread and butter, issues that 92 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.560 African American men are thinking about at the highest level, 93 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:14.279 at the highest intellectual level. And we don't appreciate anybody 94 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.199 trying to take us into this. You've got to vote 95 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.560 for somebody based on the pigment of their skin. It 96 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.120 is more of the content of their character. And I 97 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.199 want to understand what the public policies are of all 98 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.240 the candidates that are running. That's what brothers are really 99 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.360 talking about. Brothers who are getting up every day, going 100 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.319 to work, who are paying their bills. This notion that 101 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.600 brothers aren't handling their business. Members of Alpha Phi Alpha, 102 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.720 which I'm a member of Alpha Fai Alpha, are ladies 103 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.160 of akas or Delta Sigma, Theydes, Theta or those African 104 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.240 Americans men and women who are attending historically black colleges 105 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.000 and universities, by the way, just as a fact, it 106 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.839 makes people are comfortable. It was former President Trump that 107 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:09.920 ultimately made funding to historically black colleges and universities permanent. 108 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.560 Keep that walk, President Clinton, keep that question. 109 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.879 It wasn't President Barack Obama. It was former President Trump 110 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.680 who did that for historically black college university. 111 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.480 Don't say that. Don't say that, please, that's a good 112 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.920 thing on the Trump side. You can't do it. When 113 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.959 I'm watching the last week or two of Kamala Harris, 114 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.600 the whole point of her campaign, Chris Mitherman is a 115 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.680 new way forward. Let's take the best and make it better, 116 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.279 find a way to stay together. 117 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:36.399 That's the whole part. 118 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.319 So the last several interviews she's given she has said basically, 119 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.319 I can't think of one thing I do differently the 120 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.279 past four years. So when she comes off that interview 121 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.199 with Whoopi Goldberg, who's a clown at the view, and 122 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.639 her senior campaign staff says, can we go into this, 123 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.120 Riop can we talk with you for a moment amount 124 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.439 of Weissman, They go in the room, according to Axios, 125 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:57.759 and they said to her. 126 00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.639 What in the hell are you doing? 127 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.279 The whole point of this campaign is a new way forward, 128 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.759 a new path How can you say you wouldn't do 129 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.160 anything different when we're spending a billion dollars telling people 130 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.199 that we have a new way forward, and you're saying 131 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.560 there's nothing we can do differently, How in the hell 132 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.160 does that work? And so she mumbles around, says, well, 133 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.519 I'm sorry, I just wasn't thinking at the moment. Then 134 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.759 two more interviews in the next two days she says 135 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.319 exactly the same thing with col Bear drinking the beer. Otherwise, 136 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.439 she says, basically, I wouldn't do anything different. So they 137 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.079 spend a billion dollars telling this is a new path forward, 138 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.399 and the messenger, the candidate can't think on her feet 139 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.600 and say, well, I'm gonna take the best to make 140 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.240 it better with Joe Biden, with the batadoo bada ding 141 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.160 bata bang, you vote for me, We're going to do 142 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.399 any brand new batado bada doo ba da bang. 143 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.040 It's all a new path forward. 144 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.279 It's a new way forward, and says she comes off 145 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.079 the Colbert interview and according to Axios, we now, Madam 146 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:52.680 Vice President, what the. 147 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:53.399 Hell are you doing? 148 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.040 We just told you not to say that. 149 00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:59.319 Everything's fine because seventy percent of American people, in eighty 150 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.279 percent of block folks think things aren't very good. Why 151 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.839 do you keep saying things are are pretty good when 152 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.680 they're not? And why do you say on these interviews 153 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.839 that there's nothing I would have done differently when we 154 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:12.720 have a new path forward and said, well, I'm sorry 155 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.680 about that, I'll do better the next time. That's the 156 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.879 candidate they put out who didn't get one percent of 157 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.720 the vote in twenty nineteen, who isn't available for interviews 158 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:23.879 like with Time magazine. 159 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:25.839 How in the hell is not going to work? 160 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.560 And the answer is the media coverage and the machine 161 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.200 has got to pull you over the finish line because 162 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.440 you can't do it. Can you smell what I'm cooking? 163 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.440 And I think there's a question in there, would you 164 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:37.240 please answer it? 165 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.840 Well, look, African American men. Back to the public policy. 166 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.759 And again, I'm not speaking for everywhere, not monolithic, but 167 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.360 those that I speak to in my circle. You know 168 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.720 that I'm a financial planner. I have access to people 169 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:55.000 who have resources. They're talking and those who don't. They're 170 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.480 talking about public school education. How can I get my 171 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.559 child to get a good education because it's still the 172 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.960 number one way into the middle class. And so any 173 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.720 candidate out there who's not talking about that is going 174 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.320 to have a problem. He acts, and most of these 175 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.159 candidates act like we don't we as African American men, 176 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.879 can't see what happened with FEMA, as if we don't 177 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.080 have families that are in North Carolina or in Georgia, 178 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.399 are in Florida who just lost their house, who just 179 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:29.159 lost their loved one. And FEMA has been on the sidelines, 180 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.679 by the way, instead of pushing over a billion dollars 181 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.879 for illegal people who are coming over the border. And 182 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:42.080 we can see that you're prioritizing everybody else but Americans. 183 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.799 We see that you're putting people up in hotels in 184 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.720 New York, or in Atlanta, or in Chicago, and you 185 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.399 don't think that that impacts us as African American men. 186 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.440 And so that's what they're missing. They're not understanding that 187 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.759 African American men and black men would, to be clear, here, 188 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.360 are very sophisticated. We understand what's happening around us, and 189 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.559 you just can't walk in and say, hey, brother, do 190 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.600 what I tell you to do. Those days are over, Bill, 191 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:17.279 and that's the frustration. The Democratic plantation is breaking down, 192 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.519 and people are looking for answers because they're trying to 193 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.679 pay their rent. Brother, they're trying to buy food, they're 194 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.080 trying to put gas in their car, and they just 195 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.559 want to candidate that will prioritize what they care about 196 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.639 all this other crap that they're talking about. For example, 197 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.840 they want to push abortion, abortion, abortion right. Well, that 198 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.519 might work in some campaigns, but when people are hurting 199 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.519 the way they're hurting, like they're saying in North Carolina, 200 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.840 I just lost everything. I lost my dog, my house, 201 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.320 all my belongings in Georgia and in Florida, and you're 202 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.440 only going to give me seven hundred and fifty dollars. 203 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.360 But I can see that you're sending money to Lebanon, 204 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.279 saying you want to shore up what's happening in Lebanon, 205 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.200 but you can ensure of what's happening right here in America. 206 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.120 I'm letting you know, Bill, that's the problem with the 207 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.559 comment of hey, brother, I need you to get lined 208 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.600 up and follow me on the pigmentation and not the 209 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:12.480 public policy. 210 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.120 And we began with this idea seemingly every every racial 211 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.720 group in America doesn't need a leader. If I ask 212 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.720 Tony Bender, who's the white leader, who's the big dog, 213 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.840 who's coming out of the pound, who's barking, who's snarly, 214 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.399 who's nasty? And I'm thinking, well, white leaders, I don't 215 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.960 think we have one. If I speak to my Hispanic friends, 216 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.440 I said, who's your who's your big brown leader? That 217 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.720 is that that is unpaid? Well, I don't have one. 218 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.960 If you talk to Asians, well I don't. They talked 219 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.360 to black folks. The media tells you who let the 220 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.600 dog out, and that is Barack Hussein Obama is telling you, 221 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:47.480 and he's talking that language, that lingo from the street. 222 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.799 Obama's from the street with his homes in Hawaii on 223 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.440 the ocean. He's telling black I'm back. The big dog 224 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:53.840 is out. 225 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:55.919 They thought that would be a bump about a week ago. 226 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:57.039 It didn't happen. 227 00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.919 And it didn't happen because Black folks have figured out 228 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.720 the plantation put together by LBJ keeps them in slavery 229 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:05.840 instead of freedom. And right now, if you've got to 230 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:08.000 send your kid to a public school in Cincinnati or 231 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.559 Chicago or Dayton, the last place you want to do 232 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.759 is to the Dayton Public schools or the CPS, because 233 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.519 more than half the kids can't read, don't understand English, 234 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.080 they can't compute mathematically, they're not ready for school. Given 235 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.519 the choice, most black folks would not send their kids 236 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.039 to CPS. They send their kid to a private school 237 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.159 somewhere or to some monassory school. And so folks are 238 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.440 figuring out in large numbers that the lies of the 239 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.679 left have been told for more than half a century 240 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:34.759 and they don't work. Do you think more and more 241 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.200 Black folks think like you, or more and more Black 242 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:38.720 folks think like Whoopy Goldberg? 243 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:40.960 I think. 244 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.200 First, let me say to you that, as you know, 245 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:52.360 I respect the accomplishment of President Barack Obama, period, just 246 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.840 like I respect the accomplishments of Eli Munk or are 247 00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:01.080 Tim Cook, or Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. There are 248 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:06.600 people that have made tremendous contributions to our society. However, 249 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.679 that doesn't mean that you become the spokesperson for an 250 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.840 entire race of people. That's what you and I are 251 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:18.320 talking about, and I'm sharing with you that many times 252 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:23.039 I have more in common with my Apple Latin brothers 253 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.840 and sisters than I do to people who have wealth 254 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.679 and who can buy a twelve million dollar crib or 255 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:34.200 lived somewhere in Hawaii, as you're describing, meaning the economics 256 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.919 of things matter, and so what I'm trying to articulate 257 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.559 to our community, it is okay for us to be 258 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.679 free thinkers. It's okay for us to vote for a 259 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:50.279 variety of keenicts. It's okay for us to vote for Democrats, Republicans, independence, libertarians. 260 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:51.120 It's okay. 261 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.159 That's where we're headed in our world. And what Barack Obama, 262 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.440 President Barack Obama is seeing right now, Bill, the polls 263 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.440 aren't looking good. That African American men are questioning their 264 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.039 existence financially, and they're saying, there has to be a 265 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.399 better way for my family. I cannot afford to pay 266 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.600 six dollars for diesel. I drive a truck out here, 267 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.399 just like my white brother drives a truck, and it's 268 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.519 cost to me a thousand dollars to fill it up. 269 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.639 I've got to get a break here, and I'm looking 270 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.679 for the candidate that can provide that public policy. I 271 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.759 think the interview tomorrow that we talked about, right, I 272 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.639 think that that might be a first step. If she's 273 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:35.000 probed on what she's going to do the Democrat. All 274 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:38.399 these things are important, brothers, but there isn't a person 275 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.919 who speaks for African American people. I don't care if 276 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.440 you African American are white or you're listening to our interview. 277 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.080 I don't think anybody can walk away from what I'm saying. 278 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:51.519 Say what Smitheman said isn't true. There isn't a spokesperson 279 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.879 for African Americans. And we have the right to vote 280 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:56.799 for whoever we want to vote for now. 281 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.960 Like Joe Biden said a few years ago and twenty two, 282 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.279 twenty twenty, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black. 283 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.679 I'm taking away your color. I'm taking away your pigmentation. 284 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:11.440 Know your role, shut your mouth. Vote Democratic. We're gonna 285 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.440 take care of you. You've seen the results out the 286 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.240 past fifty years. And I would say the Planned PARENTO 287 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.840 always puts their facilities in the Black community. The number 288 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:23.679 one race killed healthy babies inside the bodies of healthy 289 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.399 mothers are in the Black community. 290 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:26.159 It's called abortion. 291 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.840 Black babies constitute about fifty percent of the deaths inside 292 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.840 the womb, and the white babies are about twelve percent. 293 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.039 Most are persons of color that are killed in the 294 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.039 womb and that's a sacrament according to the Democrat Party 295 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:39.440 or Christopher, I got to run. 296 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.399 But we'll see what happens down the road. 297 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:41.960 But you got to know. 298 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.039 You gotta tell Eric Kurney and Lincoln b Ware and 299 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.679 Box Miller you're black and you ain't black. If you 300 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.799 don't vote for Kamala Harris, you ain't willing let me 301 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:50.080 give you. 302 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.320 Let me give you this good news. My son, Christopher 303 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:58.399 had his first child yesterday. I'm a grandfather. I'm so 304 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.080 proud of him. We're on October the thirteenth, Christopher Edward 305 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.120 Charles Smithman the third And if people want to follow 306 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.840 me to get my perspective, they can do it on 307 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.039 x at vote Smitherman, So thank you for allowing me 308 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.840 to do those two things. And I just want to 309 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.919 highlight that positive part of my own life that I 310 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:17.840 became a grandfather yesterday. 311 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.120 You're getting old, no question about that, but know your role. 312 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.519 Shut your mouth. You don't vote for Democrats, you ain't black. 313 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:26.559 I don't know what color you are, but you ain't black. 314 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.679 Chris Smitherman, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 315 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.799 Thank you, Chris, Thank you brother let's continue with more 316 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.159 line becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand. 317 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.720 The Bengals have a heartbeat and more stand back. The 318 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:44.879 paddles work last night at MetLife on news Radio seven hundred. Now, 319 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.679 I hit the music, Dave hit the music, big effort 320 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.559 last night. Of course I was on the air, but 321 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.559 nonetheless I monitored it off to my left, and all 322 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.480 of a sudden, the Bengals defense won a football game. Listen, 323 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.559 the Bengals defense won a football game. Offense not so much. 324 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.039 Bengals defense arose. Of course, the Giants don't count. They 325 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.319 have a lousy team. Jones is terrible. But nonetheless, they 326 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:10.720 played the Cleveland Brownies. I think they've won one game. 327 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.799 Deshaun Watson, will he start? Will he not start? Cleveland 328 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.839 is in complete meltdown. The Bengals are in an easier 329 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.400 stretch now as they were to begin the season. At 330 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:21.799 this point, they're what two and four, And there's a 331 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.759 little bit of light, a little bit of flickering paddles 332 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:27.559 not needed yet, there's a heartbeat. Is there any blood pressure? 333 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:28.119 Not sure? 334 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:32.160 But the Bengals defense won the game last night. Let's 335 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.440 continue and never stop. And of course Bengals play on 336 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.160 Sunday Cleveland, will see what happens there. You heard Chris 337 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:42.039 Smitherman and indirectly, of course, Brian Combs about what's happening 338 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:46.119 politically now, which is that suddenly the male black voter, 339 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:49.960 in fact, white males too, because of Tim Waltz, are 340 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:51.960 kind of at the center of this thing, assuming that 341 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.799 black females, white females, et cetera. And of course the 342 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.759 Asian population is always going to vote according to norm 343 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.039 Chris Smitherman points out a very good point. You know, 344 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:05.359 if somebody texted me and Bob Bob the bricklayer texted me, 345 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:07.359 and so why can't that guy run for off as well? 346 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.480 I wish Chris Smitherman would because he makes so much sense. 347 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:16.519 But you might remember the past background, the past feelings 348 00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:21.200 of liberal Democrats toward males, toward black males, toward white guys, etc. 349 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.000 In fact, the Democratic Party hates men and begs men 350 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:28.480 all of a sudden to vote for it. At one point, 351 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.839 we're told males are toxic, males have a rape culture. 352 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.319 At some point we're told that males are the problem 353 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.119 and that males who identify as women need to be 354 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.079 in women's locker rooms, and that men how to play 355 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.240 women's sports and boys how to play girls sports. For 356 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.599 more than a half a century, liberals and Democrats have 357 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.599 emasculated civilization because of toxic males. I guess you and I, 358 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.160 Tony Bender, Dave Segment are toxic males, whatever the hell 359 00:18:55.240 --> 00:19:01.119 that is. And they've demonized us as men ass and 360 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:05.279 rage about the rape culture that we've created. They've infiltrated 361 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:09.880 liberals and dismantled boys and men's organizations. You might remember 362 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:13.400 that the Boy Scouts have gone out of existence and 363 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.400 now they're simply called the Scouts. It was wrong for 364 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.480 the boys to get together and actually have their own 365 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.160 boy Scout troop because it wasn't fair to the girls. 366 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.000 So instead of having a strong girl Scout troop, they 367 00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.160 got rid of the girl Scouts and the boy Scouts 368 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:28.880 simply the Scouts. So boy Scouts are bad. Get rid 369 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:32.359 of the boy Scouts. The Knights of Columbus, you might 370 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:37.279 recall as a male organization, a Catholic Roman Catholic male 371 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.759 organization dedicated to service and helping others, helping others through deeds, 372 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.480 the Knights of Columbus. You might remember that when Kamala 373 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.599 Harris was a US Senator. She quizzed a member of 374 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.720 the Federal Judiciary about to be elevated to a position 375 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.119 in the federal courts as a prior member of the 376 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.759 Knights of Columbus, a known racists and sexist organisms. What 377 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:05.839 the Knights of Columbus men? When men get together? And 378 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:09.000 I think Brian Tolma Crossroads has this happening. Men and 379 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.759 women separately. Men and women are equal, but damn it, 380 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.960 we're so much different. Crossroads does a great job with 381 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:19.599 Brian tom of having women's retreats. They have different items 382 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.480 going on in their life and men's retreats. We have 383 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:25.480 different items going on in our life. But the Party 384 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:31.519 of villainizing and demonizing and hurting a gender, the Democratic 385 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:35.720 Party now has found black males are important. Unbelievable. They 386 00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:39.960 have unilaterally declared and have invented a new progressive man. 387 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.200 And that man is a beta male like Doug m 388 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:47.440 Off for Tim Walltz, that's the future. And they hook 389 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.079 him up with the tailgate guy at the parties and 390 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.119 expect us now to vote them into a permanent one 391 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:58.039 party power with lightweight diversity hires like Kamala Harris at 392 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:00.680 the helm that a real man wants his wife to 393 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.640 be successful, a real man wants his sisters to have 394 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:04.720 a good employment. 395 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.400 Guess what. 396 00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:08.079 That's been the case all of my life. And if 397 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.519 you're a man, I assume you're a male. How much 398 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.480 pride do you feel when your daughter, when your sister, 399 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.720 when your wife, when your mother does something great. I 400 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:21.359 could not have more pride in my life for my granddaughter, 401 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.160
