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.
All right, Philly Cunningham, the great American. Many issues, and of course the big one might be tonight or tomorrow morning. Has La Hamas and Iran much coordinated attack against Israel to wipe them off the face of the earth. How close is Iran to the development of nuclear weapons?
We don't know. We know one thing.
About four years ago, Iran was on his back, had no money, Its citizens were protesting against the regime and Tayron and elsewhere. And here we are four years later, after the policies of Barack Hussein Obama were again implemented by Kamala Harrison Joe Biden.
Guess what.
Once again Israel is close to being on fire. I pray to God the Jews can offend themselves. It's very difficult. There's many American carrier groups and ships that have been moved into position in the Mediterranean. Sencom Commander is available, and I look at the US Navy assets in the
Middle East. They are profound. And I don't know where this ends except for the fact that Iran is the head of the snake, and the snake wants to coil itself around Israel and Christians and Americans wherever they can be local that Islamic terror has been a blight on civilization for the past fifty years, and it's getting worse, not better. At least Trump had the policy of trying to starve economically Iran, which made it impossible for them
to fund terrorism all over the world. Of course, whether it's Obama Harris or Biden or Nancy Pelosi, they have a completely different attitude. They want to fund Iran, and so we're funding Iran, and we're funding Israel to fight each other. And I fear long term for the success of the one democracy in the Middle East. I've read some stuff out of Alexandria, Egypt and elsewhere that this is a five to ten year strategy and slowly it's working to bleed Israel to death. As you may know,
there are three main industries in Israel. Those three are high tech, farming they feed the Middle East, and tourism. And right now there is no tourism. There's little agricultural work being done in Israel, and high tech has taken a hiatus. It goes to the fear of being attacked and killed, and that there's about eighty to one hundred thousand Jews and northern Israel moving away from the northern
border up against Lebanon in anticipation of an attack. It appears that has Belah in north of Israel and Lebanon has approximately one hundred and twenty thousand missiles, cruise missiles and artillery shells. They could literally obliterate large parts of Israel. Now what Israel doing the response is God only knows, but it's bad, and tonight or tomorrow or the next day, according to media accounts, is when it's going to happen, which is why there's all kinds of pow wows going
on in the Middle East. To try to restrain the religious leaders of Iran from killing Jews and Christians wherever they might be located. They funded the attack on Israel October the seventh that killed about two thousand Jews and costs two hundred and fifty more to be kidnapped. And I'm watching this and I'm thinking, why isn't there more of a belief in this country that we're on the wrong track, completely on the wrong track, and we can't continue on the track that we're on.
It'd be awful.
And on that point, I would look at a story out of New York that pro Palestinian protest to resume when school is back in session in about two weeks. Anti Israel protesters who started encampments on one hundred college campuses in the Springs say the protests will resume for the fall semester. They will continue activism in conventional and unconventional ways as protesters seek to shut down colleges and universities to divest in Israel and and academic ties with Israel,
among other things. They're going to highlight the top one hundred universities in America and who.
Funds all this? That would be the government of Iran.
One of the leaders said the students not only will organize protests in stet up encampments, will take every available means necessary to push every college university in America to divest from Israel and also to give those arrested an involvement for crimes. They committed full amnesty for what they've done, and an end of any travel by any university students or college professors or any academic any tie to Israel. They want that to stop. So get ready, and it's
not good. In fact, one might say it's terrible. And since Hamasa's land and see invasion on Israel October the seventh, one, two hundred people were murdered immediately, two hundred and fifty hostages were taken, babies were cut out of mother's wounds, women were raped. And in response, Israel to try to defend itself, to clean out Hamas in Gaza, which were kept there by billions of dollars of assistants provided by US, by America, by the UN, and by other Middle Eastern countries.
And a Moss is fully still in charge of Gaza. So even if you would end the war with Ama still in charge, I don't know what the plan would be. The plan is to bleed Israel dry because their economy right now is in complete shattered tethers. There's nothing left of the Israeli economy, which is tourism and agricultural work and high tech. It doesn't exist. And it's been quite a while. It's been a while, almost what nine months, ten months since the invasion, and here we are ready
to go another round. So the goal is never to confront Israel directly from Iran, because Israel at this point could still obliterate Tehran Iran. The goal is to bleed them dry over months and months and years and years, to take away their economy, to slowly kill Jews wherever they might be located, to continue to pour tens of millions of dollars on American campuses these paid for protest, and to make living in Israel a living hell.
That's the goal. And how close were they to peace? Very close?
You might recall the Abraham Accords head the agreement worked out between many of the Gulf States and Israel recognizing the right to exist and also working with the international authorities to make sure that Iran was bled dry with no money. That's where Trump had Iran after almost four years of Biden and Harris. Look where we are tonight,
and I pray to God that I'm wrong. I hope somehow that God's representative in the Middle East, that is Israel can withstand what's going to happen to them and continues to happen to them, and that the message is we will bleed you dry over the next five to ten years, to make sure you have no tourism, make sure you have no high tech, make sure you are not the agricultural giant in the Middle East. And we're going to destroy you. And we're never going to confront
you directly. We're going to do it indirectly through Hamas and Asblah, fund it through Iran, and of course we the Americans fund the Iranian government to the tune of one hundred billion dollars a year in oil relief and also making sure that all the funds that had earmark for Iran released more billions of dollars to Iran to keep that theocracy in power.
It is sick and it's sad, and that's what's going on.
I hope tonight in the morning, if it does break out tonight, we're going to cover it for you.
Right now.
We'll see what happens, but it's not good. Secondly, I'll set up tonight's show a bit later on.
I try to.
Watch the Sunday morning news shows, and up to this point, George Stephanopolis has been one of my least favorite. When I think of the problems facing America today, the race of Kamala Harris and what happened on January the sixth, about four years ago is somewhere not in the top
fifty as far concerns by the American people. So Congressman Donald's went on George Stephanopolis this morning, and it was a punch counter punch, point counterpoint with George Stephanopolis, who's being sued by Donald Trump for calling him a rapist, and that's a lie. But nonetheless that case is in court civilly. But Byron Donalds went on and the only two issues discussed for those nine minutes was number one,
what is the race of Kamala Harris. I couldn't care less if she's black, an Indian, a Canadian, a Jamaican, a Polka dot.
I don't care. I care about policies.
Byron Donalds is a great American and he's not of my race, and I couldn't care less. I care about policies, don't you? But not George Stefanopolis, he berated, indirectly Donald Trump through Byron Donalds for mentioning the fact that, at one point or another, Kamala Harris has claimed to be of Indian ancestry, of Black ancestry, of Jamaican and ancestry, having spent most of her youth in Canada. Frankly, my dear,
I couldn't care less whatever race she is. I care about what comes out of her mouth and how she thinks. But that's not the way the media thinks. If they have some point completely irrelevant to the voter, that they can just take that needle and push it into Donald Trump or Byron Donald's they will do it. Every time they went round and around about whether or not race is a factor in this campaign. When Donald Trump went to speak at the National Association of Black Journalists, who
I guess they don't care about race. They identify themselves in a racial category. I would assume, correct me if I'm wrong, that those of a different racial quality or character cannot be a member of the NABJ.
Got to be black.
That's what they call themselves, and so they're offendant when someone else points out that. In the past, for political reasons, Kamala Harris is self identified as the daughter of an Indian, which is fine with me. In my life, I've never met any one but great Americans from the great country of India, the largest democracy in the world.
I never met an Indian in my life I didn't respect.
But nonetheless, between you and me, that is irrelevant and immaterial. But with George Stephanopolis as a big New York lib, he understands that could be a dividing point to get out the black vote even more for Kamala Harris. So he just went on and on with with Congressman Donald's. Then the second thing he talked about was whether or not Donald Trump should Pardner commute the sentences of hundreds convicted or waiting trial of the events of January the sixth.
That's been almost four years. How many Americans go to bed tonight thinking, you know what, I wonder what happened on January sixth with the defendant Joe Schmoe seven hundred and fourteenth arrest and whatever happened, nobody's thinking about it.
It's not relevant, it's not important, it doesn't matter. But once again, George Stephanopolis, representing the main store media, saw a crucible, the stick in to the side of Byron Donald's, and I guess indirectly, Donald Trump, the great majority of people in January the sixth had nothing to do with criminal activity. In fact, the great majority of people who trespassed in the Capitol did not damage property or hurt a cop. And Donald Trump has said it many times.
I've said it many times. Hannity has said it many times. The Great Mark Levin has said up many times. Those who hurt police officers and break into buildings and destroy furnitures should be held account for their activities. The great majority of people that went into the Capitol were at the behest of Capitol police who opened the door and they walked in and they trespassed. Now, they didn't commit crime other than trespassing. Now, trespassing is not good. Has
to be a penalty of punishment for that, right. I think everyone can say when you beat a cop, that's differently the walking into the rotunda of the Capitol and looking up and then leaving. But that's not good enough for George stefanoppo Us. Once again, he bates he wants to use Trump's comments about commuting sentences or pardoning against
Byron Donald's. Would you agree there's other stuff going on a possibly more public interest than what happened on January the sixth, that has been well covered and well litigated. And of course the Trump star after he left office, was impeached for that. And those responsible with serious criminal activities are serving hard time, Daddy hard time, and this Department of Justice will track to the ends of the
earth a trespasser. But when you deface statues all over Washington, d C. And the Hamas supporters, not much happens to them at all, other than they're given a low bond and set free. The economy is important, the Southern border is important. On Friday, the stock market almost crashed because of perception there's a recession coming. We have serious issues with illegals pouring across the southern border, fracking, def unning the police. How about transgender in locker rooms. How about
homeless encampments in New York City and San Francisco. How about her support of reparations. How about comala support of eighty percent tax rates. How about kamala support of getting rid of gasoline powered cars. How about Comala's support of open borders. How about freeing the rioters in Minneapolis? How about illegals voting, And how about criminals voting, criminal felons voting. I could go on and on and on. One might say,
we have serious issues in this country. Instead of our media dealing with the serious issues, they want to use wedge issues to drive Democratic voters into the polling places to vote against Donald Trump.
And don't get it, don't understand it. And by the way, on.
That front, it appears there may not be a presidential debate. Donald Trump accepted the debate with Joe Biden on September the tenth, he leaves the race. Now he's got a debate he wants to have against Kamala Harris on September the fourth with the Fox, And of course, if either party wants to be perceived as backing down, there may not be a debate, which is fine with me. I think Trump will win the debate like he did against Biden. But nonetheless that's up to Kamala Harris how to handle
this or not handle it. To watch the Sunday morning shows and watch what they put on the so called news is totally, absolutely disgusting and wrong. We have serious issues, serious problems in the country, and whatever race Kamala Harris elects to be at one particular point or another is fine with me. Couldn't care less. Liberals don't care, by the way, about the race of Byron Donald's or the race.
Liberals don't care about Clarence Thomas's race or Senator Tim Scott who recently got married, by the way, South Carolina, congratulations. But they care about black Liberals, not black conservatives. You would think they care about race. They don't care about race. Race is a vehicle to get to liberal principles. And if a black person it lects to be and thinks his way through issues and is a conservative, even that person is black, it makes no difference to the NAACP
or to the NABJ or the liberals in general. And they ignore the color of conservatives if that color is black. Don't care that they're shuffled out of the deck. They don't matter. And lastly, before I go to the telephone calls, we have three lines open eight sixty six six four seven seven three three seven A note with interest that Doug m Off, the wife of Kamala Harris, has now acknowledged that he had I guess the word is an affair with his first children, first wife's children's nanny, adding
that they took responsibility for the actions. I'm not going to give out the woman's name on national radio. It's available if you want to look for it. M Off statement come after report from The Daily Mayo claiming that m Hoff had an affair with the couple's nanny and allegedly god her pregnant. Claim that a close friend who had known about the affair and the alleged pregnancy, said Naylor did not end up keeping the baby. Now, in liberal circles, of course, abortion is a sacrament. Is abortion
healthcare to an unborn baby? Does anyone other than Senator John Kennedy asked that question if a baby had a vote, how would a baby vote? Is abortion healthcare to an unborn baby? I don't think so. So when this friend said she did not keep the baby, I don't know what that means. Maybe the mother went through the pregnancy and gave it up for adoption, maybe not. But just to let you know that abortion is a sacrament to liberals. An abortion stops a beating heart, and abortion is not
healthcare to a baby. Let's continue with more. Bill cunning in the Great American with you every Sunday night. The longer Liberal Democrats are in charge of a city, the worst it becomes. New York City council Member Eric Boucher, who represents Manhattan's third district, has pled with Mayor Adams
for immediate help. He said the area is overrun with homeless and with illegal immigrants, and these areas individuals are engaging in a range of illegal and antisocial activities, causing significant distress and fear among the residents and young children, unstable,
strung out, homeless weirdos. When visiting over the past two weeks, the outlets said their needles are regularly seen in the street, highlighting the dead eyed junkies wandering with the needlesticking out of his hand along thirty sixth Street near Penn Station. Mentally ill people lie conked out on benches in the pavement, on shuttles during the streets, on the subway, barefoot towning tourists and locals. Heurity guards said it is beyond out
of control. Public urination, defication, fornication are regularly seen by residents of New York City. Am I talking about Chicago or San Francisco? Not sure, but that is what it is to live in New York City. But the individuals exposing themselves to children, many suffering from mental episodes. I think if you listen to many of the mainstream media,
you're going to have a mental episode. Let's continue Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday night, so I got thousands on the whole millions are listening.
Got to get to you.
What needs to happen is for the reality of Kamala Harris to become a parent to the American people, not the fact that she's black, or an Indian, or a Jamaican or a Canadian, whatever she wants to be. I frankly, my dear, I couldn't care less. I care about the policies that for the last thirty five years that she's endorsed. She's sixty years old. She's been so called in public
service for like thirty five years. She's sixty now. In that time on paper, if somebody told you, as a voter, we have a candidate who has been a city prosecutor and been a county prosecutor, who's been the attorney general of a large state, has been a United States Senator, and has been a Vice president, you would say, you know what, that person's qualified right there? Whoever that person is,
they've got it. On the other hand, if I told you there's a candidate for the presidency whose policies have caused a twenty to thirty percent inflation in your life bills in the past three years, that this candidate also supports fracking, the elimination thereof and the elimination of more
pipelines to drive up the cost of gasoline. That this candidate wants to defund the police, wants to end private health insurance, once transgender high school boys in locker rooms, that homeless camps proliferate in areas where she has control, where the homeless have taken over downtown areas and made them unlivable and destroyed businesses. This candidate believes in reparations. And by the way, on that front, it appears her
ancestors in Jamaica owns slaves from Africa. But as you've heard me say many times, I am not responsible for my ancestors one hundred and fifty years ago what they did in Ireland. I'm not responsible. She's not responsible if her ancestors owned slaves in Jamaica imported from Africa, but she still supports reparations. That this candidate believes in eighty percent tax rate. This candidate wants to eliminate gasoline powered cars.
This candidate believes in an open Southern border. This candidate wants rioters freed on bond. This candidate wants ill legals to vote and criminals to vote from prison. This candidate wants to pay for sex change operations of inmates. This candidate believes that plastic straws are evil. That is going to be a requirement that to give up your guns in a federal gun back payback program and more.
Now, would you vote for that candidate? Would you say, you know what we need?
The values of San Francisco and Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris to come to your hometown, need to come to Iowa. Those policies in Pittsburgh and Indiana and Texas, that's what we need. So on one hand, the Democrats, because they're involved in identity politics, the identity of Kamala Harris fits
the Democratic requirement of different race, multiple race. Also, Week on Crime, also encourage homeless camps, encourage government buybacks of guns, encourage an open Southern border, one illegals to vote, in criminals in prison to vote. And also the government pay for sex change operations of criminals in California State prisons. There's not a hard left idea that she's not embraced. Give the idea, and she wants it. She's Bertie Sanders
with lipstick and Danny Boy. At some point, hopefully you can find her comments on Christmas, which take a look, Danny Gleason, my great producer. She wants you not to enjoy Christmas. Now, how's this possible that you could support that person? How could she get forty five or fifty percent of the vote. This person has these positions, not recently, but over a thirty to thirty five year career, and she's about sixty years old, well set in her ways,
and that's what she believes. Want those values to come to your hometown. Let's go to the calls I have thousands on old. Millions are listening, and let's go to Floyd and Iowa, the home of the Hawkeyes and add and Jack and Lauren and John and Louis and many others, and Floyd and Iowa. Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Floyd, how are.
You Yeah, yeah, yeah, real good.
Bill.
You know you're absolutely right. The best person for the job is just the best person for the job. It just doesn't matter. Couldn't care whether they're coming, but it absolutely not. It just doesn't matter. And there's something else too. You know, you're you in the legal system as a prosecutor. You know, sometimes you get people that you know they're guilty, dead to rights. If the jury likes them, or just one person on that jury, they makes it difference.
They can they can still walk.
They can still walk.
It happens.
But get back to this, absolutely, get back to this business. But the best person for the job. We have very serious problem stations in this nation. Show. Yeah, we can't be fooling around. This is about the color someone's skin and their gender. We got to get on with the business to say to this. Let me talk you later.
It's always good to hear your thank you, Thank you, Foyd.
Let me tell you this. I'm like a normal American. I like to think I'm normal. Someone like Clarence Thomas or Tim Scott or Byron Donalds are of different race.
I'm much more attracted.
I would vote for those guys if I could, in a heartbeat a thousand times over someone like Joe Biden, who's white and claims to be Irish. I don't care about white and Irish, which I am. I care about policies. But if you're a liberal Democrat, guess what race? Trump's everything. And George Stefanopolos's treatment of Barron Donalds today was utterly ridiculous, ridiculous.
We have serious issues in this country, serious matters, and UH to spend time on race speaking to a black guy about Donald Trump being racist, speaking to a group of black journalists who preclude membership of a different race, claiming that Trump is the racist is utterly ridiculous. Now, if I'm the Donald, I answer the question differently from Rachel Scott, the ABC left wing reporter who doesn't report
fairly or independently on Republicans at all. I said, look, I'm not here to talk about the race of individuals. And if you got that cut, this ought to be played by every radio talk shows in America between now and November.
The fifth hit it Danny Boy.
And when we all sing happy tunes and sing Merry Christmas and wish each other Merry Christmas, these children are not going to have them merry Christmas. How dare we speak merry Christmas?
She's against Merry Christmas. It's uh. This is such a politically.
Multi multitudinal response of Kamala Harris and her policies prescriptions from energy production to inflation, defunding the police. How about eliminating your private health insurance? That was the dream of Barack Hussein Obama. Remember if you like your plan, keep your plan, like your doctor, keep your doctor. None that happened lied. It was the lie of the year by political It's coming back again with Kamala Harris. She wants you to stand in line with Medicare and Medicaid recipients
and get healthcare right now. How difficult is it for you to get an appointment with a specialist in some medical condition? Almost impossible. You cannot bring into America, I don't know, twenty to thirty million more human beings to use the medical system, to use the public schools, to use items in this country, driving up the cost to the idea of jobs, the idea of apartment buildings. I see in Wisconsin that getting home an apartment building, or
getting an apartment to buy home in Wisconsin difficult. Wisconsin's had several thousands of illegals come into the country and they're taking up available space of Americans who may be able to get into an apartment or buy home. You got thirty to fifty million more people here. They're going to use apartments, They're going to use homes, they're going to use transit systems, they're going to use the medical system, they're going to use public education, all of which to
drive up the cost to you. They don't pay the costs you do in Wisconsin and Minnesota. In Michigan, you figured it out. I see even now the polls in Michigan have Trump winning far and away.
Because we know what's coming.
Kamala Harris thinks thirty to fifty million illegals in this country is a good start. What happens to inflation when more and more demand chases fewer and fewer products. That's called inflation. Well, let's continue. Thousands on old, millions are listening. Let's go to Bob and austin the home of the Texas Capitol, and Bob, welcome to the Bill Cunningham shown Bob, how are you.
I'm great, Bill, Thank you very much for taking my call. You know, there hasn't been a lot of discussion the media about how Kamala Harris got started in her career. You know, she had a relationship with Willy Brown, who was a king maker politician back in California. She was twenty nine, he was sixty one, he was married, and in two thousand and three he orchestrated her getting elected
district attorney in San Francisco. She started out pulling third and with his financial backing and fundraising and pulling strings, got her elected. And after she got elected, a lot of his friends and buddies were being investigated by her predecessor district attorney for corruption and guess what, and she dismissed all the cases.
Guess what all dismissed the cop was killed. At that point, California had a functional death penalty system, and she said loud and proud, I'm not going to execute anyone, even cop killers will face a jury without the possibility of death. That there's not a far left wing goofy policy he's not fully embraced, including criticizing the birth of the baby Jesus at Christmas.
You can go from there to anything.
And if you think Austin, Texas, which by the way, I think largely has lost its way dominated by liberal democratic politics, I think Austin is close to being the San Francisco of Texas. But nonetheless, the rest of Texas is a free state because of Governor Abbit and others. But if the rest of Texas wants the Austin Texas values and the San Francisco values be all over Texas, then vote for Kamala Harris. If she's elected. She assumes
you want that. She's going to assume that you want more inflation, that you want to end fracking, you want to quit the pipelines to fund the police, have more homeless camps and reparations, and open southern border, and free riders on bond, free them all. And that's what's going to happen in this country. I could not imagine if I'd lined up for ten or twenty things Bob that she's embraced in the past. That person is unelectable. Person is will the media cover the truth or not?
Well, you know, it's the classic case of a politician rising by corruption. You know, she is a corrupt individual, and she's far left. She's father Left and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Yeah, and she should not be a serious candidate. It should not. Uh, she is not a serious candidate in my opinion and should not have a chance at all. Well, the truth will come out.
I hope you know you say that.
I hope, But look at it this way, Bob uh The campaign in twenty twenty was conducted by Biden through Biden's basement, and at no point was there a critical examination of the issues because of COVID. Maybe this fall we're going to have another COVID part two. I think the media is not going to demand that she sent for interviews with a hard hitting reporter to answer questions
and heer flop in all these positions. And assuming she keeps reading off a teleprompter and does these rallies and then avoid a debate and then do more teleprompter readings, do you think our media is going to demand that she answer for these policy failures. I don't think they will. I hope you're right, but I think you're wrong. But I hope you're right. I don't think it's going to happen, And it's up to us. It's up to you and I to inform those around us as to the truth
of Kamala Harris. The truth will set us all free. Let's continue with more Bill cunning and the Great American with you and all great Americans every Sunday night to the American people. No relevance to you and I and the problems, the difficulties in her life, and that when Rachel Scott was I think totally disrespectful to Donald Trump, who actually went to the NABJ when Kamala Harris would not,
and kind of set them up. The answer should have been something along the lines say this, look, Rachel and I here to talk about the race of my opponent, mere talk about how her have negatively affected everyone, Black Americans, Indian Americans, Canadian Americans, everyone, And instead he got stuck in this thing about is she black? Is she an Indian? Is she korem Caribbean islander? Is she from the Mediterranean? Is she from Canada? Who cares every day that we
spend as normal Americans? Debating that kind of an issue gives the George Stephanopolises of the world the opportunity to ask Byron Donalds a bunch of stupid questions that have nothing to do with the issues that confront and confound the American people right now. I don't care what herodage she came from, and race is only a factor if
it's a liberal person who's who's a different race. If it's a Clarence Thomas or Tim Scott or Thomas Soul or a Byron Donalds, the media never embraced those Black Americans, never embrace them because they're the wrong kind of black people. In the viewpoints at George Stephanopolis, I think every moment that normal Americans spend talking about her heritage and not her terrible public record is a wasted opportunity, and the media wants to spend time on her heritage, not her record.
I tried tonight and the rest of the next two hours, for the rest of the time I had, whichween now and November the fifth, to talk about her record and not her heritage. I couldn't care less. If her Perth certificate says she's an Indian, that's fine with me, says she's Black, that's fine with me. Says she's a Jamaican or a Canadian, that's fine with me, doesn't make any difference.
Donald Trump needs to prosecute the case against Kamala Harris's bad judgment and not her heritage, and so talk about the broken border, talk about Wisconsin and Michigan being overrun by legal aliens, talk about the incapability of younger Americans to get an apartment or buy a home, talk about the difficulties of paying off expensive student loans, talk about the fact that we have public school systems that are completely dysfunctional because they're overrun by teachers, unions, and others.
So any moment spent on an irrelevant issue is a moment taken away from what's important, which are her policy prescriptions that are well. Unlike Barack Hussein Obama when he ran in twenty oh seven, twenty eight, he was a new character on the scene and he could change up some of his policy prescriptions for the ills because he
didn't have a previous background. Well, Kamala Harris, she's got more than thirty years in public service and the most liberal city and the most liberal state in the country, and she was she was to the left of the liberals in San Francisco. And there's not much room out there, not a lot of room there. Well, let's continue coming up in a few minutes here, we're going to have
John Lott. We're going to talk about George Stefanopolis this morning and others in Pete budajeedge who said the crime is way down.
Now it's a lie. It's a provable lie.
And every time he says that, someone should go to their website Crimeresearch dot org and find out the truth and confront those who claim the crime is way down when and it's not. How do you know if crime is up or down? If crimes aren't being reported, How do you know if the legals commit more crime than others when you don't ask about immigration status in the first place. Also later on is Steve gorm about the policies at Kamala Harris when it comes to the environment.
How much that would cost you in your family. Later on is Michael McDonald of the Catholic League about the Olympics and more about what's happening in major cities goes to the policies of Liberal Democrats. Michael McDonald of the Catholic League. Then also later on is Julie Gunlock Independent Women's Forum IWF dot org. Julie Gunlock Independent Women's Form
IWF dot org. If you want to see a great website and for those that have daughters and young young daughters, get them watching Independent Women's Form and the various writers and thinkers and commentators they have there. They go to college armed with facts because the way college is today, you come out as a marching Marxist. You go in as a preview vescent. You're happy, you're joyful, you come
out a marching Marxist. As Palestinians and Hamas funded by Iran, promises more disruptions on college campuses beginning in about three or four weeks. So let's continue with more. And at this point things remain somewhat quiet in the Middle East.
If all hell breaks loose tonight, I'll be with you supposed to happen the next day or two or three, and I pray God that he holds the Israelis and the Jews in the palm of his hand and protect them against Hesbla and a Moss and the religious zealots that control Iran that really do not fairly represent the Iranian people.
Let's continue.
Every moment you spend talking about Indian heritage is a moment not spent on her terrible policies. Bill cunning in the Great American with you every Sunday.

Billy Cunningham the Great America. Once again one of the morning talk shows. Pete booda judge, simply blurted out the fact that crime is at a fifty year low, the murders are down, and drug dealing is down, and that immigration is good because after all, immigrants commit fewer crimes the native born Americans. And also I see the Kamala Harrison's position on the Second Amendment. Cose she's given no interviews in the past fifteen to thirty days, but nonetheless
she's going to round the corner on confiscating guns. A man with many answers. John Lott, who worked in the Trump Department of Justice. He's an academician. I think he's a scholar. He's bright guy, but also very practical on those issues. John Lott, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And I see you have a column at The Federalist, and you talk about the issue of what Kamala Harris up until she switches her position, I'm sure soon would
want to do under the Second Amendment. So can you tell the American people the history of Kamala Harris and what she would do with the right of Americans to own and possess guns?
Right?
Well, I mean, Biden has been the most anti self defense president that we've had in our lifetimes, even worse than Obama. He's put literally, as of the middle of last year, thousands of gun dealers out of business with his zero tolerance policy. You make one tiny trivial paperwork mistake, even one that of Obama administration had looked at and said it was inconsequential and you have to reopen it
just to take away somebody's firearms license. He's gone and done the banking of people in the firearms business, where he's put pressure on financial institutions not to do business with them so they don't have somebody to handle the credit cards for their customers or their checks.
And you know.
He's done other things too to put people out of business, and so he's been really bad on these things. But if anything, in twenty twenty, Kamala Harris ran to his left while they both agree on things like an assault weapons Van he wanted to confiscate guns that people already had. Biden said that then it would be even Biden says that that would be unconstitutional to do that, and then she said, even if she couldn't get it through Congress, she was going to issue executive orders to both ban
the guns and also to confiscate them. Now, one thing I will say that BIEN has done which makes for threats even worse now than they were back then, is BIEN has put together a national gun registry. Is about two years ago they had computerized the records for about one billion firearms transactions over many decades. And you know, it's one thing to go and say you're going to confiscate the guns, but if you know which guns different
people own. And of course the buy An administration has done things like put pressure on Bank in America and other credit card companies to give credit card receipts so they can know who has purchased guns and so they can kind of make sure that their national registry is even more complete. But if you know who has the guns, I mean, you can say voluntarily turn them in, but if you don't turn them in then they'll have a list of who has gun and who doesn't. But she's
even much more than that. She's talked about changing the liability rules for company she claims and buying the courses. Claimed that you can't sue gun maker. Isn't that a lie? If they make a defective gun, they can be sued. If they break the law and don't do a background check on a gun that they sell, they can be sued. But what she wants to do is to make it so that if they go and somebody sell a gun and somebody uses it improperly, they get into an accident
or something, the gun maker should be sued for. That be kind of like saying Ford Motor should be sued if somebody's not paying attention while they're driving and they get into an accident, and Ford should be liable for any death then and should be covering the medical costs and should cover repairs and pain and suffering and lost wages. I mean, we have over five million Americans that are injured each year in traffic accidents, have almost fifty thousand
which are killed. You know, what do you think would happen to Ford Motor or other car companies? If they were liable for all those costs from all those accidents and nothing wrong with the car. It's just that somebody wasn't paying attention when they were driving.
And so right now, the gunmakers have something like qualified immunity that if they produce an effective product, like anything else in life productive, maybe a firestone tire that's defective,
you can sue Firestone tire if it's defective. But what the Kamala Harris wants to do that if you have a if Smith and Wesson produces firearms and one of the firearms are wrongfully used in a hold up, that somehow Smith and Wesson iss sued because they robber, killed or shot somebody, in which case Smith and Wesson is out of business. So the goal is going to give money right now the goal was given out of business.
Right well, I mean maybe you should sue Forward if one of their cars are used as a getaway car and a cry well.
That would be ridiculous, But that is what Kamala Harris wants to do.
And a smaller thing in the same vein she.
Eliminated qualified immunity for police officers, and that means that if a cop makes a negligent mistake, not intentionally killing somebody. Let's say a cop pulls somebody over and they pull over the wrong person, and they may arrest the wrong person.
Okay, we made a mistake.
Qualified immunity means that person can sue the police and get a huge recovery, which means the cop, the police officer, the corrections official, deputy, sheriff, they can't get credit cards, they can't buy a home because they're constantly going to be sued and run out of business. That's just one
aspect of what Kamala Harris wants to do. So when she changes that position, what she will in the next few weeks, how serious should we take it, because at this point she's going to round the corner on that one.
Well, there's a lots of positions that her campaign has changed for her. She hasn't actually come out and made statements on him yet personally, but everything's from cracking to the gun confiscation thing that we talked about before, the taxes, oil drilling, lots of different types of issues she's changed, or at least her campaign has said over the last few weeks that her position has completely changed on those things.
Of Course, another illegal immigration. How about this one.
Tell the American people, you're an expert crime prevention research, center, etc. Crime research, you do it all. I constantly hear from Pete Boodha, Judge and others that these large millions and millions and unattached males, poorly educated come into America and they don't commit crime in the same way, in the same volume as native born Americans.
Why is that a lie?
Usually the numbers that they point to kind of mixed together legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. Legal immigrants actually do commit crime at very low rates. Illegal immigrants commit crimes at many times higher than the rate of native born Americans. And you know, the problem is is that most states, virtually none of the states will collect that data because it's kind of politically toxic for people to go and
deal with these types of things. The Trump administration was beginning to try to put that stuff together, but even within the bureaucracy and stuff, there was tremendous resistance to adequately getting that type of data together. And that's the big problem. But look, you know, Buddha dead and the Democrats and the media want to go and claim, look, crime was going up under Trump and it's falling under Biden,
and they keep on saying that. Look the polls, people are saying that they think crime is worse now, and the media has all these headlines that say crime is falling, but people erroneously think that it's going off. And my response is that the people have a lot better idea about what the crime data is than the the media.
There's two measures that we have of crime. One is the FBI NIBRIS data, which counts reported crimes, even though most police departments aren't completely reporting as data to the FBI in the last few years. And then you have the National Crime Victimization Data, which looks at reported and
unreported crime to get a measure of total crime. And you take the last year we have total data for both of those places was twenty twenty two, and that year the FBI claim that violent crime fell by two percent. The National Crime Victimization Data showed a forty two percent increase in violent crime and one year we've never seen such a big increase. And it also increased in twenty twenty one, even though the FBI claims that it fell,
and that year too. So what happens is, you know, if you go to most people and say do you want to just look at the number of reported crimes
or do you want to look at total crime. I think most people would say you want to look at total crime because they may know that a lot of people over the last few years, as law enforcements collapsed in this country, have stopped reporting crime to the police, right and so, But what happens is the media and democratic politicians want to just say, well, we just want to look at the number of crime, support police. We
don't want to look at total crimes. And unfortunately the media fact checkers when when Trump or others make what I regard is the correct statements looking at total crime, the media fact checkers go out and say that he's lying on it. And John can find all that on our website.
Well, give the American people the website, which I gotta ask you to it, but is a crime research center dot com.
What is the website?
Crimeresearch dot org? Crimeresearch dot org.
Okay, Now, secondly, I've had several topics on this about police agencies not asking the immigration status of a criminal. I know in the urban areas, blue cities, Blue States, no one is collecting the data. As far as are you a legal citizen or not. So when Pete Bodha Judge and others says, you know what, legal immigrants don't come at much crime, it's because when arrested, many police are barred from asking about immigrations status.
Correct, you don't know who's.
Legal and who's issues.
Right, whether there are two issues there, one is, you're right,
a lot of police departments never even asked. But even the ones that do try to ask, the federal government is doing an absolutely horrible job of keeping records on those types of things and reporting that data to people, and so you know it's in fact even you know, you have the Knicks background check system for people purchasing guns, and my understanding is that the buy An administration has been fiddling with the data there to make it so that if an illegal tries to buy a gun, they're
not going to be plagued. Because it's supposed to be a legal residents or American citizens who are allowed to buy guns, and so it's supposed to stop illegals from buying guns. But they've decided that they don't think that they should be prevented from buying guns.
So police do not ask immigration status. In many areas it is barred. They don't report to immigration authorities if they haven't illegal. So the data that says illegals don't commit crime is completely false because we don't have the numbers. The gut tells me they're over the top increases, but
you don't collect the data. And secondly, there are many police agencies New York and LA that for a year or two reported no crimes because their computers are not in sync with the FBI computer So maybe nineteen to forty percent of cities are not reporting crime to the FBI data center in Washington because they don't want to report it. They don't have to report it. It makes
them look bad. They don't report it. And as you've pointed out many times, citizens themselves, it's worthless to call police. In many areas, they don't come anyway, and they simply accepted as a cost of doing business, like in San Francisco, Who in the heck is ever going to call police when essentially the police come an hour or two or three hours later, and they didn't want to take a report because it doesn't make any difference.
And the.
Right Lelon Musk said that one of the reasons why he's moving SpaceX and X from San Francisco to Texas is because a lot of his employees have just given up even reporting crimes to the police. But you know, just the exec numbers. In twenty twenty two, thirty two percent of police departments in the United States didn't report any crime data to the FBI, and another twenty four
only partially reported crime data. So you had less than half of police departments report complete crime data to the FBI.
So a zach erate to say that crime is up, but reporting crime is way down, and it's for political and other purposes. But to hear the Democrats talk about a Kamala Harrison, et cetera, crime is at a fifty year low. When that's a lie. Most Americans know it. You talk about SpaceX. Chevron a few days ago said we're moving the hell out of California. We can't think it anymore. We're going to Texas. California's and other failed city state in which they don't function, like New York
City doesn't function. And those in charge of the Democrat Party are Keem Jefferies and Senator Schumer. They live a mile apart of New York City and those in charge of the Congress from California are people like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris. They all live together in San Francisco, and the San Francisco New York are
basically running the United States of America. At least you say about the Republicans Johnson, the speakers from Oklahoma, I'm sorry, Louisiana, yeah, and the leader of the Senates from Kentucky.
At least it's a little bit dispersed.
Now. Lastly, you have a column posted about the issue of individuals who have weapons, the mandatory buyback programs, which means we know what guns you have, and Kamala Harris said it would be mandatory, we know what guns you have, we're gonna knock on your door and we're gonna pay, We're gonna buy the guns from you. Now, her surrogates have said, well, we're not going to do that anymore.
But you know, when she has the power, I can only imagine John Lott, Well, if she's elected the president, she's going to think those policies are the kind of policies that Americans want, and she's going to give it to them. Because she's from San Francisco, and the leadership of the Democrats are from New York City and Chicago,
and they look at things completely differently. The people that live in the Dakota's people that live in Iowa, I live in Ohio, completely different And so when you say crime is down, well, thirty two percent never reported the crime. Citizens don't want to report crime because it is worthless. And all these proposals of Kamala Harrison the past have ruined the city of Sam Francisco. And just briefly, John Lotte,
I talk with you off the air about this. I had really a positive sense about two or three weeks ago that Trump was gonna win and there'll be sanity back into Washington. Now with the media coverage of Kamala Harris, how great she is a cross between Margaret Thatcher and Joan of Arc. Do you have the same hope that the American people will understand these issues as we presented today and do you have a sense there's going to be some hope or not.
Well.
I have to have hope because I think he'll be an absolute disaster otherwise. But look, you know, you talk about these changes, or at least the campaign's claims that she's changing your position. People just have to watch the videos from you know, just last few years where she enthusiastically, i mean said, you know, it's not just that she
wanted confiscation, she definitely wanted it. She used words like that, you know, and the enthusiasm that she had for anning fracking or making it so people would stop eating meat, or forcing people to have to use paper straws rather than plastic straws. Even at the same time she talked about how horrible paper straws were and how they collapsed when you use them, and the taste and stuff like that.
But you know, people just have to listen to the enthusiasm that she had for these things, and somebody doesn't go in a few years from being enthusiastic about all these different policy positions. And I hope the campaign and others and people have probably seen this on acts and stuff. But just play the videos over and over and over again. In Western Pennsylvania, they should have the fracking one, just
over and over and over again. There's like five different times where she was asked about cracking, and she kept one saying definitely, definitely, she was going to do it. Her gun confiscation the same thing.
Well, also she's against Christmas. We're going to play later her comments on Christmas. But once again, Crimeresearch dot Org, all the facts are there, and once again, John Ltte, you're a great American. Keep hope alive and thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, John, Thank you, Bill, God bless you. Let's continue with more.
I tell you what I have hope if the American people become informed and don't listen to individuals like Pete Boodha, Judge and others talk about how crime is down fifty year low. Of course there's no reporting of crime, but that's a different issue. Bill Cunningham, The Great American with you every Sunday Night by Billy Cunningham, Crimeresearch dot Org.
When the police do not report crime to the FBI joint computer in the Department of Justice and the FBI in Washington, and when locals do not collect data on citizenship, how could anybody with a straight face say, you know, crime is down and the llegals do not commit crime when there's no reporting of it. It takes footspud to do such things.
Irish word.
All right, let's continue with more coming up next to Steve Gorm about the claims of Kamala Harris about the environment and more line becomes available eight sixty six, six four seven, seven three three seven Bill cunning Into Great American with you every son you.
Know Bill cunning Into Great American.
Of course.
Steve Gorm is the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America, author of many books on energy, climate change, to sustainable development, over one hundred thousand in print. His latest book, of course, is Green Breakdown, The Coming Renewable Energy Failure. We thought things were bad under Joe Biden. Full you think it's over, just begone. I can only imagine if Kamala Harris wins the presidency and the power that she will have for the next four to eight years,
what things look like. Steve Gorm, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Steve, first of all, it's kind of odd that we have to introduce Kamala Harris to the American people because she's been in office for about four years. She's in the Senate for about four years' Attorney general of California, she destroyed San Francisco. It's kind of odd we have to do this, but people have to know when they vote for Kamala Harris what they're
going to get. Can you kind of vaguely and tell us in general what the policies of Kamala Harris would look like as the president should she win. Where does she stand on all this green energy stuff?
Hey, Bill, great to join you again. Yeah, she's a true green believer. She was one of the original supporters of Representative Acossio Cortes Green New Deal in twenty nineteen, which called for a lot of different things like getting rid of gasoline cars and transferring all of our electric power over to renewables. And so she also was at the time was proposing to ban hydraulic fracturing, which actually
is fairly environmentally friendly. It requires a much smaller land footprint than traditional methods of pulling up oil and gas. That she has since, I guess, reversed her position on that and it is now not speaking out against fracking. But we have more the same And as you know, the federal government right now is spending vast amounts of money from the Inflation Reduction Act that mister Biden put
into President Biden put into into practice. Cato Institute is estimating eighty billion dollars this fiscal year twenty twenty five in subsidies and tax breaks to all sorts of things like of vehicle chargers and carbon dioxide pipelines and carbon dioxide capture and storage and green hydrogen fuel. Most of these industries would not exist without all this money. So it's a bad deal for the taxpayer, and it isn't going to have any effect on global warming or the climate.
You know.
One thing, I've notice that when it's hot in the middle of summer, it's a big story. And according to the New York Times, we just went through the four hottest days ever on the planet Earth. We just cancy it was hot. I live in Cincinnati right now, it's eighty one degrees. We've had a couple of ninety degree days, but mainly it's in the mid eighties. Doesn't appear to be here, but the forest fires that are happening, they lead every nightly newscast is demonstrating caused by global warming.
We have a hurricane supposedly developing here. It is almost it's August, and we haven't had but one hurricane strike off to the side of Texas, and we've had none every time. We're told it's the hottest it's ever been. How do you respond, Well, that's just wrong.
They're talking about average global temperature and we only have about fifty years of that data. But I can give you all sorts of exampless when it was when it was warmer in the past. The Rowing Glacier in Switzerland exists today in a valley that was ice free for most of the last tenth years. The men in All Glacier near Juno in Alaska is sitting on the site of what was a forest. They've gone down into ice caves and found trees with roots still in the ground
a thousand years old. That used to be a forest, now it's a glacier. There's a tree stump in Northwest Territory of Canada five thousand years old that is one hundred and fifty kilometers north of the tree line. I mean, there's just many, many examples that when it was warmer in the past.
But as you know, we.
Get all this stuff in the media about how the United Nations says the planet is boiling. They're saying we're getting more hurricanes when we're actually getting less landfalls according to Noah's data.
So there's just much.
There's much of this stuff, and it's driving the power powerful ideology of climatism, which basically says you have to ban everything. That's the new favorite favorite policy of the climate change movement. Banning of cars, banning of appliances. One guy you mentioned even to banned campfires.
Well, I'm looking to these stories. How about banning gas appliance as Kamala Harris says, yes. How about banning plastic straws? Harris says yes? How about banning campfires?
Yes?
How about banning cruise ship advertising? Explain that one to me? Cruise ship advertising Harris, sa has got to be banned.
Why, Well, I don't know if she's picked that up yet, but that's in Scotland. They want to ban ads because they think that cruise ships are hurting the climate. There's a lot of other people who want to ban any kind of ads for coal, oil and natural gas. I think she may be in favor of that as well. But that's the big thing. And there's some people whoven want to ban golf. They say, you know, golf courses
are luxually you can't afford with climate change. That was a headline in the Salt Lake Tribune recently, and that's one of the sidebars in my book Green Breakdown. But the new tool is banned, let's ban everything by the way, gas stoves. Ohio has taken the position. Ohio is one of twenty four states that has passed the law saying that you can't prohibit certain types of energy and new construction.
We now have twenty four states doing that. But the seven states that are banning natural gas or propane a new construction, those are the ones that get all the headlines.
What about California?
What does California do about natural gas and gas pipelines?
Isn't that now banned?
Yeah?
Well, they tried to ban all that, but then the Ninth Circuit Court just overruled the city of Berkeley. There was a suit brought by the restaurant owners who want to cook with gas, and they challenged the Berkeley ban, which was the first in the nation twenty nineteen that would ban gas and new appliances, and that was overturned. So they're trying to figure out another way to do it, you know, without having to say, well we're going to
ban it construction. We're gonna do something on efficiency maybe, But you know, the thing is this again, these are not going to have any measurable effect on global temperatures, which are dominated by natural factors.
Such as because right now we can we can regulate ourselves in the non existence. Kamala Harris at one point said smart thermostats are a good idea because if you got your house too cool in the summer, too warm in the winter, the government can override and say you can't do that. But what's happening in India, Pakistan, Russia and China. We can regulate ourselves into poverty and we'll
go nowhere because of what they're doing. What's happening in most of the rest of the world outside of Europe and America when it comes to banning certain appliances, banning plastic straws, banning coal fired power plants, banning nuclear power plants, which is the greatest producer of electricity ever, what's happening in the rest of the world.
Yeah, there's well, China is the biggest user of coal today, that uses more than half of the world's coal. India is a big user of coal. Actually, coal produces thirty five percent of the world's electricity right now. People don't realize that it is the biggest producer of electricity, and yet we still have a shortage. We have seven hundred million people without electricity. We have another two billion people in the world that every day or every other day
have blackouts. As matter of fact, if you have an air conditioner in Ohio, that one appliance has uses more electricity than about a third of the world's people get to use. So we need more energy, not less. We need to take care pollution. Of course, that means putting scrubbers on plants and dealing with other things. But this idea that we can get rid of coal, get rid of gas, you know, that's just not going to occur,
even in the United States. I think we talked about in the past how we have a coming shortage of electricity in the US because of the demands of AI and the demands of all these green programs they're trying to push. We already see people that are extending the life of coal plant. Set's happening in West Virginia. They want to reopen one of the three Mile Island nuclear plants. In Pennsylvania, Utah is extending coal plants, Wyoming is extending
a life of coal plants. Michigan is restarting a nuclear plant the Palisades. So they're going to restart all these plants because we're not going to have enough electricity otherwise.
And what's happening to the so called developing world. I look at the statistics out of the UN that says hundreds or thousands of children in Africa are being killed every year in cobalt and radio mines because of the demand for these fancy batteries that are built in China.
And I would note that Chrysler has advised those who drive mini vans, which are plug in mini vans, not to plug them in and to keep the mini vans out of your garage because of there's a fear of explosion of these fancy batteries that you can't drive, you can't plug them in, You got to keep them outside because of fires inside your hose. And Cincinnati and Mason, Ohio, which is part of Cincinnati, we had some kid with a scooter that had one of these fancy batteries attached.
He was firing it up in the garage, plugged it in, and it burned down the house and partially the house next door. Explain the dangers of these batteries.
Yeah, we have touched on two problems. One is one is the uh, the environmental problem with batteries, but another is that they just ignite. And yeah, e bikes are now the biggest source of fires in New York City. They're having over it climbed from nothing four years ago now it's over two hundred fires a year and these things just self ignite on the first floor and ended
up bringing down a building. Australia's having a huge number of e bykee fires as well, and that's why they don't you know, they don't want you to bring an electric battery in the baggage on your plane. They don't want it going up in the in the baggage area. But so we got we got issues with combustion. But as you say, people think that electric vehicles are very environmentally frontal, but they don't realize all the work that
that goes to produce metals for these batteries. Like the Democratic Republic of Congo the biggest producer of cobalt in the world cobalt ore, and they use a child labor and forced labor to get that ore out of the hills. Then it goes to China to produce cobalt metal for the battery, and and there we have vast areas that are polluted. The most famous one is uh is Rare Earth Lake, which as far as you can see in every direction, has been polluted by metal waste. And that
comes to the US. You can drive your Tesla and you think, wow, it's environmentally friendly because it doesn't emit carbon dioxide. But nobody sees the train of social and environmental damage all the way to get that car.
In fact, the Democrats are proposing that more black kids in Congo be put into chattel slavery, causing hundreds of deaths to mine the cobalt. And why doesn't I'd be I'd be shocked if CBS, NBC, PBS would actually send a crude to the Congo and look at the lives of these thousands of kids in the minds being exploited, and the debts and the injuries being caused. Have you seen any story about that from CBS News.
I have not, not recently. They're pretty disconnected. We also have issues with forced labor in China, as you know, to do a number of different things. I think there's Congress that has kind of frowned on that and is putting some restrictions on China. But the old Biden policy to shift from coal, oil and natural gas. We're the biggest producer of oil and natural gas in the world, the biggest exporter, and shift everybody to be dependent on China for all these metals for wind turbines and solar
panels and electric vehicles. That doesn't seem to make much sense. But if we get Miss Harrison there, we're going to get more of the same.
Unfortunately, can you imagine eight years of Kamala Harris and the White House?
What would America look like? Energy wise?
Look at all the UN reports to my right in the last uh since eighteen eighty, since the days of gun smoke.
The UN says that.
The average world temperature has gone up two degrees, which is probably a positive thing. Ten times more people die of cold than warm. But can you imagine eight years of Kamala Harris believing the American people went this imposed upon us? What does American look like after eight years at Kamala Harris.
Well, I do think that people are going to revolt. I mean, they're just they're just not going to take so much. I mean California, for example, prices have risen ninety six percent in the last fifteen years. They're going up ten or fifteen percent a year for electricity. And you read all these stories about people that have thousand dollars a month electric bills. If they run their they run their air conditionally, get a thousand dollars bill for
a month. I mean, that's just just something nobody can stand. Across the country, we have a tremendous amount of people that are opposing wind and solar. It's rising and rising. Bryce is tracking this kind of stuff, and so I think people are going to And by the way, we of course we have a installed market for EV so now people can't charge them. Hurts just got rid of all their sixty thousand electric vehicles because even EV owners have come to rent a car from Hurtz don't want
to drive an EV. So no, I do think people are going to push back on this regardless.
Of the election.
But just a question the amount of pain that we have to go through to get back to sensible energy policies.
And right now there's great pain because right now we need to double energy production over the next ten years because of all the AI centers we have fifty million immigrants coming in using devices, using the roadways, actually living in places, driving up all the cost of housing, cost of medical care.
And if we get an additional fifty million people and.
These AI centers all over the place, and the next ten years, we have to double energy production without using nuclear, without using natural gas, without using coal, And these windmills aren't working, and the solar panels come from China. And I look at this, Steve gorm, I hope the American
people put this in the mix. When you consider that Jade Vance said four or five years ago, Cat Ladies that somehow trumps Kamala Harris's energy policies, which will cost average Americans literally thousands of dollars every month in additional expenses. And when you talk to energy experts, they want to use coal, they want to use natural gas, they want
to restart nuclear power plants. We need the more energy to function as a democracy, and without that, there will be more and more people depended upon China for batteries that don't work. You might recall that the energy produced by these so called five hundred million dollars was spent to have these chargers all over the country.
And Pete Bootah Judge admitted about a.
Month ago that for the five hundred million dollars, we got eight chargers and two of them don't work. The whole thing is a farce, and I hope we figured out, you know, economically, we can figure this out. Got to run Steve gorm What is your website? If any people need more information about the facts, and there's nothing wrong with temperatures going up a degree or two, in fact, it feels better. Please give the American people that information. How do we get ahold of it?
Yeah, it's Steve Gorham g R e h M dot com and they can order all of my books. I'll send them signed copies and they can learn about all the crazy things going on with climates, like the professor in Sweden who says people out of human flesh to control global warming.
I saw that.
Yeah, and there are ebooks as well. It's on Amazon, of course. But people need to educate themselves and push back on our political leaders and say, why you want to raise energy prices, why we have to get rid of this car What is that going to do in terms of global temperatures? Because it's not going to do any measurable thing.
We have the cleanest environment in America we've had for the past one hundred years right now, and every year it gets better because of technology. And that one professor in Switzerland said eat human remains makes me think about Joe Biden's uncle who was eaten by cannibals. Maybe they were onto something. But once again, Steve Gorm, thank you for coming on the bill, cunning and your bill.
Steve, you're a great American. Thank you.

By Billy cunning in The Great American And for further information, you know, facts and logic will set you free. That Wall Street Journal did a recent column on the gross increase of polar bears in the Arctic that media doesn't report on because it doesn't fit. Also, there were supposedly islands that were falling under the rising seas in Polyprenesia, and there was clear evidence that is not going on.
In fact, there's a little some of those islands have land being visible now that one wasn't visible ten years ago. And lastly, the cleanest are the cleanest water of any industrial country in the world is right here in the good old United States of America. One of that's being reported because it doesn't fit the narrative. The polar bears are not dying. The seas except with the hurricane hitting Florida in the next air too, are not rising, and
we have clean air and clean water. Basically all over the country. Does the media report those facts to you like that as the Wall Street Journal did in that editorial. Absolutely not. All the news that fits they print. If it doesn't fit the narrative, guess what it doesn't get printed. Let us continue with more coming up next as the Great Michael McDonald of the Catholic League live from New York City. Bill Cunning and the Great American with you and all Great Americans every Sunday.

Now here's the man.
Who's been recognized as radio's best, the recipient of not one, but two prestigious Marconi Awards for he is Broadcast Exodens, the one and only Bill cunninghad all.
Right, Billy Cunning in the Great American and the Catholic League. Dial Org is a great facility in New York City that keeps track of the social and moral issues that confront and often confound the American people. And with this, I guess presidential campaign is underway. I suppose Kamala Harris they're going to do it jump off the cliff and a point of San Francisco Liberal to be the Democratic standard bearer with all that implies and what that means
for the country is certainly uncertain. Throwing the You and I now is Michael McDonald from the Catholic League dot org, at going organization run by Bill Donna Yu and him and once again Michael McDonald, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, a few days ago, the Kamala Harris campaign had like a set to with white male dudes for Kamala. Then they had white women for Kamala. Then they had I guess Aleutian Island disabled for Kamala.
They had all kinds of groups breaking him up. And one of the comments that the Catholic Catholic League has weighed in on are the comments of Pete Buddha judge and which he made the most asinine, ridiculous comment I think I've ever heard, and I kind of want to quote what he says, with your permission to get it right, Michael, this is what he said.
Quote.
Men are also more free in a country where we have a president who stands up for things like access to abortion, men are more free unquote. So Pete Buddha judge, the Secretary of Transportation with a transportation a near meltdown, is weighing in that essentially abortion makes men free. Can you get into his head and explain that to the American people?
Yeah, this is a bill. First, it's always good to be along with you, but this is one of the most disgusting lines of all time. And it's actually true. Right, there's across pulling. Over the years, we've seen time and again that one of the largest groups to support abortion are young single men. Because he's right on this though, he's right, but it gives them freedom. It frees them from their responsibility, It freeds them from their consequences of
their action, from their paternalistic duties. It sets them free so that they can just live wild and care free lives. And you know, I know, Mary Pete likes to claim that he's gay, but like this is like the ultimate gigachad line, Like this is what you'd expect from these fleasy hookup artists online would be advocating a position like this,
and for a major political party. It's not like this is just some wack fringe movement for a major political party to be advocating for policies that are so destructive the family to be this actively anti family, and the family is the basis of all society, but American society is rooted in the family. And to have an organization like white Dudes for Kamela and as a quote unquote white dude, I take offensive even using the term white dude. We're men, like, grow up, We're not children. And this
is just ridiculous. This is appealing to the lowest basis instinct of the society and trying to gin up as much support for, frankly, a failing administration. And you know, Mayor Pete's trying to position himself to be the VP. Pick Lot's like what happened under his watch? He had the big train to railman out in Ohio. It seems like every other week the airplanes can't fly anymore. The Department of Transportation is falling apart, and this is just going to be the ultimate DEI ticket.
Well, when I read this, I guess.
Beginning in nineteen seventy one article, two years before abortion was even legalized, a report found the college educated men were the strongest supporters of abortion for their girlfriends. And I'm thinking, well, you know, how many times have we seen these memes that a guy may use the term knocks up a woman and she wants him to pay for the abortion. And I see that, and abortion is not healthcare for the unborn baby. And I want someone to focus on that abortion is not healthcare for the
unborn baby. If unborn, well you may not know it, Michael McDonald. At some point, you were an unborn baby. You were a zygoat, You were a fetus. At some point, every human life begins as a zygoat and getting ready for life. It's the way things are. We were all fetuses at one point. Not one human being that's ever lived has anything other than been a fetus.
And so when something like six.
Thousand American women aboard in the last trimester, that's more cruel to the baby than he in a row versus Wade, which allowed the state and the last trimester to have some input because the baby was viable, and so to have on National Candidate Night with certain racial and gender groups to say, well, Pete Buddhaget says, abortion frees men, you'd have to turn your head and say what are
you talking about? And survey after survey has shown the public support for abortion declines markedly later in no woman's pregnancies. There's little or no support for late term abortions, in which a woman may have a moment she may be thinking, Okay, I'm trapped. And there's about six thousand babies every year
killed in the last few weeks of life. And Pete Buddhaje Edge and also Kamala Harris support that that they want no law that says a fetus that grows into a baby at the age on thirty six or thirty seven weeks, that unborn baby can be killed. The great bulk of the American people say no. But that's the democratic position. Why does in the media point that out.
Oh, the media is on that side. The media is covering for them, trying you know, the media is doing a very active rebranding of Camlin now, trying to make her seem as moderate as possible, that she you know, she's just one of these good old fashioned Democrats and please, she's not crazy about abortion things like that. She's one of the most radical people who have ever hold office
on the position of abortion. This is a woman that when she was Attorney General of California sent the police to raid the life of the house of the pro life activists who had on film, had planned parenthood on film, dead to rights, literally selling body parts of aborted babies. Now, can't can't have that getting out there. She sends the police to crack down on this guy. She lets all
these other criminals out. Well, she's working in the San Francisco t a DA office, in the AG's office in California. She's letting all these other people go, but this one pro lifer send sending the the goon squad after him, where we're bringing him in to justice. This is ridiculous.
She when she was in the Senate, right she questioned Catholic judges, you know us judges that happened to be Catholic, questioned them on their position of life, what their faith played into it, essentially putting a religious litmus test in order to be a judge. Even though there are constitutional protections. That's called the First Amendment. You are free to have any religion one unless you know you go against the great religion of focism that Kambala Harris has been worshiping
for years. She voted against paying capable abortion. She wouldn't vote for the Born Alive Protection NAK for when babies are born alive after a botched abortion. She wouldn't support it. Come to their defense. She's one of the most radically pro abortion candidates of fall time. And you know she and Pete make a pretty happy couple on this.
On jd Vance when he converted to catalis about three or four years ago, I've interviewed him seven, eight, nine, ten times. I haven't seen him recently because of the VP. But he's a good guy. He's got a wife, Usha, who's from India, a wonderful woman, got three little babies. And when jd Vance, who is a poor white came out of a terrible environment in Middletown, Ohio, about fifteen miles from where I broadcast from, it's often called middle Tucky because it is poor white individuals who want to
work and try to do better. That they were offended by the fact that Jade Vance was poor when he was growing up and that he's a poor white who succeeded, and they don't want to highlight his history. As compared to Kamala Harris, who's both parents were college professors, and Jade Vance's parents, the father was completely out of the picture, and the mother had terrible addiction problems. He was parceled
out to family members. They don't want to have the story of a poor white individual growing up in Jackson, Kentucky who succeeded overcame because their amateur poverty is not a poor white person. But then when it became public that he converted to Catholicism three or four years ago, then that really fired him up. You got a poor white By the way, the great majority of people in America that are poor are white. Numerically, white people constitute the majority of poverty in this country.
They're completely ignored. And the idea that JD.
Evans could overcome that and he had the double whammy of being a converted Catholic. What does that say about the media coverage Jdvans? And that story's not being told at all.
No, No, absolutely, And if you look at some of the just terrible things that they are saying about Jadvance. I've never met Jdvance here obviously closer to him than you are, but I read the book like just about everyone else. He'll be lielogy, great book. He is a great guy, and he's right on the policies and he's promoting issues we're just talking about that are central to family life in this country. You know, it's not easy having a family in this country today, with inflation, with crime,
with the immigration problems that are going on. And here's a guy that's putting forward good, common sense solutions. And he even cites the Catholic social teachings as one of the reasons why he converted to the faith, and those policies align with a lot of what he wants to do.
And he's right. The Catholic Church has great social policies that they've been advocating for centuries on and just the way the media is attacking him is clearly clearly designed to highlight that he's supposedly one of these Christian nationalists. They're going with him, trying to mix it up a little bit because Christian Nationalists has lost some of its punch. They're calling him an integralist, which essentially just means that he likes the teachings of the Church and thinks they
have some good policy recommendations. And it's just ridiculous just the bias that is coming from the media, dripping after a good man looks like he's a good man. You know, he honestly looks like he has a very strong family life, unlike a lot of these other people in Washington, and you know, really setting a good example for younger Americans on how they should live their life. And you know that if they do end up going against Marpeele. Here's a guy that actually and JD. Vance who joined the
Marines because that was the patriotic thing to do. He didn't have a lot of other options, so we did.
It.
Is not like a lot of these other guys that go into the Officer Corps and they're just trial lawyers in the military.
Well, let me tell you what. Let me tell you what he told me.
He told me that when he was in Middletown, Ohio, he knew there was a world out there past his experiences with the whole family involved in meth and heroin and drugs. And he said, the only way I can get out of this thing volunteer for the Marine Corps. He said, if I joined the military, I want to join what he perceived is the best. After four years, he came out then had the gi Bill graduated from Ohio State in two years, was admitted to Yale Law School.
Graduate at Summa cum Loud out of an environment of extremely grinding poverty and drugs, goes out to Sammers, makes his fortune there and wants to come back to Ohio and I dare you do that? Come out of poverty when you're white? I dare you do that? To become a converted Catholic. And then one of the worst things is that Kamala Harris spends her time in the Senate but rating the Knights of Columbus. For those who don't know, the Knights of Columbus are a bunch of men who
are a Catholic. They seek to protect their families and works charity to benefit the less fortunate. And she went after Catholic judges for joining the Knights of Columbus that she said was racist and sexist and has a view about women at odds with the way the American wife is today. Can you explain the attack on the Knights of Columbus for God's sakes?
Yeah, this is literally just an attack on everything that the church holds as moral truths. And as Raely point out, to the Knights of Columbus or a large Catholic fraternity, a bunch of men they get together after meetings, They have a couple of beers. They raise money for charity.
You see him outside of church as all the time, doing some sort of fundraiser to help needy families, soup kitchen drives, all those good things that any American, every American really should look at me like, oh, that looks like a really good organization.
Yeah.
But because they believe, like the Catholic Church does, and rightfully so, that life begins at conception, that marriages between a man and a woman, those things are out of step with Kamala Harris's version of America, and as a result, they need to be ridiculed, mocked, and should not be allowed to hold public life because right this is in the when she's asking these judges. It's not like she's just commenting on like, oh, I think the Knights of Columbus,
what's the weird everyone's weird these days. That weird's traditional views. Yeah, everyone's weird. It's not even that they are up for confirmation during the Trump administration. They're up to getting a seat on the federal bench, and she is literally using their religious views against them. This is against the First Amendment. You have freedom of religion in this country. And you should be allowed to believe what ever you want as long as you're hurting anyone else, You can have any
religion you want. They happen to be Catholic, which you know, a little biased. I think that's a good religion. But in Kamala Harris's worldview and the worldview of a lot of these woke crazies on the left, uh, they're an existential threat to democracy. If you put them on the court,
they're they're going to do bad things. And you're just saying, essentially to every single Catholic in this country, you should not have any place in public life because your views are out of step with our woke views.
Now, lastly, the Last Supper controversy, the Olympic Committee in Paris has finally said, okay, we shouldn't have done that.
First of all, they lied about it said had to do with some some goddess of wine or pleasure, and it was a depiction of Michael Angelo's fresco about the Last Supper where the Christ, the night before he gave his life, said that you know one of you is gonna it's gonna turn me in and then he did the bread and the wine et cetera said, it's a wonderful it's a wonderful story, and it's a wonderful reflective in the Gospel of the sacer And they wanted to
picture that as a drag queen, as the Christ having sexual feelings towards Saint Peter and Thomas Bock, the president International Olympic Committee and others, as jolly character. So well, that wasn't our intention. Now they say, well, it was kind of our intention. They spent eighty to ninety million dollars doing this. It was a terrible opening stererem What we'd like to see the closing Olympic ceremony be. Are they going to have to change it to quit mocking Christianity?
Oh? Absolutely, This was over the line to begin with. They had a naked smurf, They had a child featured up there with the drag queens during the Last Supper. They had some bearded man dressed as a woman dancing around. It was a perversion, NBC. The Olympics assaulted our eyeballs, assaulted our sensibilities with that nonsense, and there needs to be serious changes. That's why the Catholic League dot org our website, Catholic League dot org. You will find a
list of the sponsors. We're going after this to email them, tell them to stop supporting this madness. And we want to see this jolly character who was the artistic director. We want to see him off the closing ceremonies. We've got contact information for Thomas Bok, the president of the International Olympics Committee. We got some contacts for people at the US Olympic Committee. Tell them we want this guy off because you can't trust him. They he set out
to offend Christians. Many wise about it, and now they're saying, well, you know, okay, maybe you caught us red handed. You cannot trust these people as far as you can throw them. These are the international elite, pushing their woke agenda on good, honest people the world over. I mean, I remember a time not that long ago when the Olympics were supposed to be about bringing the world together and uniting everybody.
You know, all these sort of like kind of you know, little communist internationalists, hippie feelings, but okay, you know, a good sentiment. I mean I kind of just watched Team USA to win. But yeah, but anyway, we've moved past that now and is apparently okay to give the middle digit to one of the world's largest religions, one of the world's oldest religions, that's okay. You can insult them all you want, and that is the wrong statement to be sending. And we need to take a stand here,
we need to push back. And in part, you know, they think they can get away with it because well, you know those Americans, those Christians, they'll be okay with their they won't do anything bad. Well, let's send them a message as strong as we can to them, we're not going to put up with this anymore.
Catholic League dot org. Good stuff and fighting for the culture, fighting for the future. I can only imagine if Kamala Harris wins and she has an eight year run on top of the Biden Harris four year run, twelve years of this we can't survive. But nonetheless, once again, Michael McDonald of the Catholic League dot org, check out all the side. It's a great one. Michael, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Good luck and God bless America.
Thank you, thank you, Bill, You're a great American.
God bless you.
Let's continue with more Cunning in The Great American Live with You every Sunday Night's got.
Billy Cunning in The Great American.
Good to hear from Michael McDonald of the Catholic League about the doings, what's happening morally and ethically. It's sad if we don't know what real sadness is. There is a story in the New York Post that's on Fox News tonight about what's going on on the streets of New York City with homelessness and all around the icons.
The greatest parts of New York City have been overrun by ten to twenty thousand homeless that are living on the streets, needle use, defecation, urination, fornication, along with aggressive panhandling, and so much more. Plus all the illegal immigrants that
have taken over the Roosevelt Hotel. There's about fifty to eighty thousand proliferating through the most important parts of New York City, left unattended, shall we say, by those in law enforcement because Mayor Adams thinks that's a part of the flavor of New York City. Same things happen Parson San Francisco. Disgusting and it's say we need mental hospitals. That's where they belong. Let's continue with more coming up next to the great Julie Gunlock. Julie Gunlock, Independent Women's Forum.
Bill cunning in the Great American with you and all great Americans every Sunday. Well, first of all, Julie Gunlock is with the Independent Women's Form. She's a peer in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, the Washington Post, New York Daily News, and more Los Angeles Times. She's also a conservative thinker and a mother and Julie Gunlock, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Before we really
get started, I want to ask you this question. Is it possible that when I look at the campaign now of Kamala Harris last night they did a call in which it was called white Dudes for Kamala, and there was another call into which it was white women for Kamala. She's known as Mama La Kamala Harris to remake her. And normally when I think about racial themes, I think about racism. You know, from many, there's one, not from one, there's many from many, there's one people in the United
States of America. And so when called on this by some of the commentators like, wait a minute, White women are very diverse, have different interests, different values.
Black men exactly the same.
White dudes, they say, white dudes for Kamala were completely different. About seventy percent are going to vote for Trump, thirty percent were not. And is there a sense that once again the Democratic Party of the Confederacy, the Democratic Party of Jim Crow of Lynchings, the Democratic Party of Affirmative Action, the Democratic Party of DEI, they're thinking in about dividing up the electorate into racial and sexual categories, to act as if all of us have different interests. Were you
would all a little bit offended with that? Or that typical for the go for the Democratic Party?
Absolutely absolutely, And look there is no doubt about it. You mentioned the segregationists of that is the roots of the Democrat Party. They are the party of the KKK, They are the party of racism, they are the party
of slavery. And so it is not a surprise at all that the most divisive presidential Democrat presidential nominee, and she, for all intents and purposes, is although she didn't receive one vote, is the It is tapping into the origins of the Democrat Party It is incredibly disturbing to see how they are dividing people up, how they are are having these race based and sex based calls again to divide people into their little categories, and to suggest to
people around the country that if you don't agree with dudes for Kamala, or you know, single cat ladies for Kamala, then you're somehow outside of the norm. The woman who was running the call for the cat ladies call, she was smug, She had this childlike voice. Turns out she kind of does this as an influencer. I found the
whole thing repugnant. Same with the dudes. I found it particularly interesting some of the dudes that were on there, including Peter Pete Boudhajette, who basically said abortion is a great thing for men because it gets them out of the responsibility. So you sleep with a woman, you get her pregnant, and then thank goodness, she can abort the baby, so you don't have any responsibility. These are democrat men. They were telling us exactly who they are and we should listen.
You know jd Vance, I've interviewed him a dozen times, known them for eight years. She goes to my church. Good guy, if he had to revise and extend his remarks. He probably wouldn't have said cat ladies. He would come up with something else. But liberal women, seemingly especially college educated, don't want to have children, don't want to get married, and they want to have hook up relationships, and the idea of a family life, which is the core of
human survival, is family life is ignored. He could have said that a bit more artfully. However, the point he's making is legitimate. Am I right or wrong? I'm never going to run for the vice presidents. I won't be able to account for this, But the point he's making is a valid one.
Yes, absolutely, And I was very disappointed to see some women on the right criticize him for this when he was not talking about women who want to get married and haven't been lucky in love and so are not married and don't have kids, not because of their own decisions, but because really absence their own choices. Right, it's women who haven't found the right person to get married to, or women who deal with fertility issues, or women who have had miscarriages. Of course, he was not talking about
those women. Those women value children, they value motherhood, they value marriage, They want those things, so of course he wasn't talking about them. He was talking about a segment of our society, the sneers at marriage, that tells women
they don't need men, that hates men. This is what I like to call the sex in the City demographic, which that cultural phenomena that television show is still with us in it affective particularly gen X. My generation of women, many of whom never got married, didn't have kids, and as a result, we do have a demographic of women in this country who don't have children, who are not married,
and because of that, I think it really affects. Look, I wouldn't be that interested in schools if I didn't have three kids who were failed by the public school system. That is one of the reasons I care about I wouldn't care so much about toxic masculinity if I didn't have three little boys that I'm raising to be good men. And dear feminists out there saying, just by virtue of
being a man, you're a toxic human being. I care about these issues because of my children, because of my offspring, and it's absolutely insane to say that these leftist women when you look at the polling childless single women are radical leftists, that is who he was addressing again, not women who believe in the family, value the family, and value motherhood even if they don't themselves experience that well.
I read one of your blog postings at Julie Gunlock about the Mom's Guide to Parenting Trains Questioning Kids, Ohio Open and JD.
Vance.
Of course, the smear is a position on this, Jade Vance. And I believe, and I don't know, I can't speak for you, but if you're twenty five, thirty or thirty five or forty years old and you want to go through the transitioning process or whatever that is, and if you want to have surgery and you're thirty years old, it's your body, your life, have at it.
JD.
Vance.
And most Americans believe that if you're a child, if you're a juvenile, you should not make shall we say, adult decisions when you're fourteen or fifteen years old. That and they don't they smear that differential between children and adult And if you're an adult and you want to go through with.
It, have at it.
But if you're a child, government always steps in to say to parents and kids what you can't do with your own body correct.
Well, look, I mean, if we're going to allow trans transidentifying children, which frankly I don't believe there is such a thing as a trans child, but if a child does have body dysphorient decides that. I mean, if we're going to let kids cut off their body parts, then we should really get away with laws preventing smoking, child buying packs of sick Maybe we should allow children to drive, Maybe we should allow children to drink alcohol. I mean,
let's just take down all the barriers. But I want to go back to one thing you.
Said, Billy.
I used to be of the opinion it's sort of a more libertarian standpoint that if you're an adult and you want to do these things, God blessed, do whatever you want. I no longer believe that. And part of it is because of how much I have read about sort of transgender surgeries and these. Essentially, it's become not vogue to say sex changes, but because and really you can't change your sex. But it used to be known
as sex changes and cross dressers and transvestin. All those words are now gone, and they've been replaced because because liberals love to change words, they love to put happy sounding words on what is really beastly processes like gender affirming care means cutting healthy body parts off. And I used to say, if you're an adult, fine, fair enough.
But I think there are a lot of very mentally unstable people who have gender dysphoria have been fed this by the psychological and social work industry and medical communities, and I think that we need to stop mutilating people period, no matter their age. I think it is very rare where this kind of surgery actually helps people, and I think that too often people assign a solution without fully
understanding the comorbidities that might be feeding it. So I'm just I really think that this process in general, no matter the age of the person, needs to stop, and we have to have a lot more research into this because we're doing these kind of experimental surgeries not just
on children but adults. And if you watch Matt Walsh's video on This is documentary, he showed the pain that a lot of adults go through and end up de transitioning, and this is after they've mutilated their bodies, so they're not never whole again.
That's especially true for children. You have another posting about what happens when you send your child to school and the teacher begins politics instead of reading, writing, and arithmetic. It is particularly true in colleges. There's a handful of conservative colleges. The great majority kids go into as freshman year and many have no political viewpoints whatsoever, but they
come out as marching Marxist. I have a friend of mine who sent his daughter to Columba University, graduated or try to graduate in May and couldn't get it done, couldn't graduate because of all the Hamas funded Iran protests that we're destroying the campus. What do you do when you pick a college, no matter what it is, even middle of the road Midwest college, and your child never comes out as a constitutional Republican conservative. They come out
as marching Marxist. You have a column monist. How do you stop that?
You know, this is the thing. It is really important to talk to your children before they go to college. And up at IWF we have a number of guys on how to talk to your kids about X, Y and Z, A bunch of different for everything from Columbus day to gender transition. We have a whole bunch of these sort of guides and there's not there's the Tuttle Twins,
which is a great book series. There's a whole bunch of book series now that are really aimed at teaching children the principles of liberty, of free markets, of more small government solutions to problems you have. Even this even encompasses environmental issues like why why going nuke is a much better thing than you know, joining some green new deal. So what I really encourage parents to do is don't wait till they go off to college and then have
a conversation with them. Have a conversation with them when they're little. Tell them who you are, why you believe what you believe, why individual freedom is so important. Again, there's no your children are not too young to understand these principles and to the end, to start learning about them. If you teach them early, there are more likely to hang on to the talk at dinner, talk on your way to church, talk when you're taking a walk with them.
It's really really important to talk to your kids. I don't think enough people do it these days.
Great point now.
Lastly, Cincinnati, sincely public schools is subject now to the voucher system Ohio. And you know you worked for Mike Dewaine so many years ago in Voinovich, Yes, and that is we have a voucher system.
Now.
It used to be you had to be like in a failing school district, which all the urban districts are, but now it's ubiquitous. You don't have to be in an urban And so what's happened now with CPS is that since I public school, same thing in Chicago, New York, Atlanta,
is that we have a voucher system. So parents who care want to get their kids out of failing schools in which there's track meets in the hallway, the f fort is used in the classroom, there's videos being shared during school of sexual acts among the students, and they want their kid out of that. And so now there's a way out, which is take the voucher about eight to nine thousand dollars, go to a Catholic school, a
parochial school especially, and you get out. So the top ten percent are leaving urban public schools with the voucher system, leaving behind a different population. And it concerns me because I want every kid to learn. I want every child, especially and at risk kid to get a good education. When you come out of urban schools at the age of eighteen, the odds of you reading and writing at the appropriate level is almost impossible because the teachers don't
communicate it. There's no failing inside the school. There's little teaching. It's like a day care service. And the top cream is already left. And in Cincinnati we have something called One in Hills High School with two thousand kids. And so those are the ones that have functional parents, functional families,
and they want to move on with life. What do you do with eighty ninety percent of the kids in urban districts that are taught by the teachers unions and they have DEI principles and all these other affirmative action type stuff going on, and the kid doesn't learn.
As a society, what do we do.
Absolutely need to have universal school choice. We absolutely need to give especially vulnerable poor children the opportunity to choose schools that they like and that fit within their family structure, whether that's a certain religion, whether even the timing of schools can be different. With the universal school choice, you are going to get more and more schools cropping up,
popping up, being innovating. There's going to be innovation in education again where parents can choose the school that's best for them. And look, that doesn't mean that public schools
have to go away. If you want to spend less money on a public school situation, or if you want to use that entire amount on a private school, you know, it calls me to know and that my child who had an IEP, which is an individual education program set up for him because of a learning issue that he had, they allocated thirty two thousand dollars and they failed him
over and over and over again. Once we pulled him out of that school, we did assessments and they were pushing him through, actually giving him quite high grades, but he was actually failing any kind of tests to measure how he was doing. Thirty two thousand dollars, You think about what I could have done and what I am doing now with thirty two thousand dollars. Now, if people want to choose a less expensive roud in pocketing that
money for tutoring or whatever, that's fine. But the point is if people have this amount of money in their pockets, that will spur innovation and people will create new schools, and they'll be more and more choice out there, and children will really be able to find the niche school that fits them and fits their parents.

Thank you, Julie, always love coming on.
Thanks so much, God bless you all. Let's continue with more and there it is. Those are the solutions.
How many parents take Bill Cunningham The Grand American live with you every Sunday night, Billy cunning in the Great American. Thanks for listening tonight. And I specially loved hearing from John Lott Crimeresearch dot Org earlier tonight when he discussed the facts about more crime in this country and the facts that the media won't cover it. All you want to hear is that there's been a historical fifty year low in criminal activity, which is a lie, as a
damnable lie. It's not the truth, and crimeresearch dot Org is telling you the reasons is not the truth. But would a media report on facts or do they want to simply elect Democrats? And I thought George Defanopolis has views this morning, but Baron Donald's the Congressman was absurd.
The only issues in the country, according to George Defnopolis, is the race of Kamala Harris and January sixth, some four years later, the big is in the country are inflation, which goes across all economic classifications, and the fact that Kamala Harris wants to eliminate fracking and pipelines and to fund the police. She wants to put transgender in locker rooms in high school. She believes in homeless encampments. She wants reparations even though it appears in her ancestors in
Jamaica owns slaves from Africa. She wants an eighty percent tax rate. She wants to eliminate police officers. She wants an open southern border. She wants illegals to vote, and she wants criminals, convicted felons in jail to vote from prison. She wants plastic or not. She wants plastic straws to be eliminated. She wants gun buyback programs in which the government agents will knock on your door. Here's ten bucks,
give me your Smith and Wesson. And she wants to pay for sex change of inmates doing hard time in California State prisons. Those are just some of the things she has said publicly and over the thirty to thirty five years of her life in public service. This is a sixty year old woman that repeatedly has taken the most far left, ridiculous position, hard left opinions. She's embraced every one of them. She's no better than Bernie Sanders
with lipstick. And somehow we have to pretend as if we're going to have an amnesia and forget about the policy that she's held in the past, and mainstream media will continue to cover for her because that's what the mainstream media does. Once again, thank you for listening. Be with you again next Sunday night. But I tell you what, educate friends and family as to what the presidency of Kamala Harris would look like. Bill Cunningham with you every Sunday night.
