9:40 pm
conservative clergy of color. thank you for being with us. >> always great being with you gentlemen, thanks. >> let me talk to you about the passing of congressman john lewis, he was 80 years old. what is his legacy? >> i think he has a mixed legacy. however, one cannot deny the strength that this gentleman exuded with his counterparts during the inception of our civil rights icon leaders. we certainly hope and pray that the strength and magnitude of 1what john was able to really accomplish, at least in the the inception, is something that all of us can take a lesson from. host: when you say "mixed legacy," what do you mean? guest: well, during the latter
9:41 pm
years, he kind of divorced himself from some of the principles that dr. king and others at the time adhered to. dr. king was opposed to abortion. he was pro-traditional marriage. during the latter years, congressman lewis' perspective kind of got away from that, but it does not, obviously, discount the fact that he had a tremendous impact bringing black-and-white together during 1960's. host: bishop shines, talk about your organization, why it was formed, and what your mission is. will: this organization give an alternative voice to the various issues that are out, whether it is antifa, black lives matter, part a schism that is unfortunate, and the mainstream media and their negligence as it relates to
9:42 pm
doing all americans great services, and that is simply making sure that our voices are here., our voices will be t host: do you support the president's reelection? guest: i do. and also, for your viewers, i traveled for then candidate trump. and all the clergy, by the way, in the united states of america, when hillary clinton wrote her lost, ithe reason she am, by name, listed in her blood. so i support this president. i think he is doing a fantastic job. steve, not just here, he is doing a good job for all americans, whether we are black, white, brown, and/or yellow, and he is doing a great job with trans international issues as well. host: when you look at the latest poll numbers come in abc poll/"washington post" pau has joe biden up by 16%.
9:43 pm
president trump turn things around? guest: i don't, steve, subscribe to those polls. [laughs] in 2016, all of the numbers did not reflect anything called accuracy. even into the night, when the votes were being counted, they still had then candidate trump down 12% to 14%. and then the map turned red. we are dealing with an economic fallout of the coronavirus, black lives matter, how do trump supporters
9:44 pm
contend? guest: the policies that this president has put forth has helped all americans. host: i have to ask you about the public health threat of , because you have to admit there has been an issue, the president and the fox news issue, getting too conflicted sides to the issue. guest: i don't know. it is a very contentious moment with this, because we have achieved dr. there, in one breath, saying one thing, depending on what month it is. there are all mixed signals coming out. again, reflecting as far as the president going in a certain direction, i do not think that is going to impact in, because we are seeing these mixed signals, not just from the federal government, but let's think about it on state levels as well. look at florida, georgia, etc.,
9:45 pm
we are hearing different things as well, but we are also seeing false reporting. we are seeing the cdc seemingly saying one thing versus another, and i am hoping and praying that this issue of resolve will find clarity "new york times in -- in just aou know, moment here. host: trump says he thinks he can get 15% of the african-american vote. where does it come from? how does he get there? guest: i think americans are awakening. our group, for instance, we put videos, etc.,eds, and blacks in america are actually resonating to -- case in point, steve, they are realizing who margaret sanger was, what her organization was about, how they have been impacted. they are also learning that there has been one political party in the united states
9:46 pm
history that has fought against blacks moving forward, and that is history that no one of us can deny. blacks are awakening to that. they are understanding the impact of the democratic party, and this is why president donald j. trump is pulling not just 12%, but in some of the polls that we are looking at, as high as 28%. inse things are coming out spite of the mainstream's ability to seemingly try to shut the ears of blacks in america to these folks. host: the most recent nbc news/"wall street journal" paul has african americans support at 6% for joe biden, 80%, for 2% undecided or don't know. guest: [laughs] well, again, when i see these steve, butn't help, reflect just a few years ago, the sam's pollsters had the same
9:47 pm
numbers. my recollection was hillary donald was going to win, trump was in single digits, and, again, we know how those things turn out. people say different things. i had people say to me that they would intentionally get pollsters that information, because they fear retaliation. they fear that something would be exposed in their lives, so i think we are seeing the same template lived out all over again with some of these posts. i do not believe there is a real scientific understanding, as it were, for individuals that are really reporting these facts. there is nothing factual at all. it has been quite an anomaly, to say the least. we do not believe the polio. to bishopre talking aubrey shines, a native of chicago. he serves as the chair of the conservative clergy of color. spend a moment, give the audience your background. guest: so growing up in a
9:48 pm
business-oriented home, when my dad was living, he was one of the first blacks, of many, to accomplish some of the things that he did in the state of illinois. a very hard-working home. taught ethics like work, responsibility, non-entitlement, that you could make it, in spite of whatever odds are against you. and to watch a man who was born in the 1920's, in a very segregated south, never use racial epithets, never burned a building down convoluted against someone because of some seemingly unfair treatment, to watch the success of my dad has really been my inspiration to transfer that to go into the prison systems, and on the streets as well, to share an inspirational message about the judeo-christian practices in this country and how great this nation has been to overcome some of the divisiveness that we have seen.
9:49 pm
i think it is a testimony, not to me, but really to men like my dad and my mom. host: let's go to anne in jamaica, new york. democrats line. good morning. caller: yes, good morning. host: please go ahead. you are on the air. caller: can you hear me? host: we sure can. caller: i am an african-american woman, about 80 years old. hello? can you hear me? host: we sure can. go ahead, anne. caller: i think this man is a disgrace. trump is a disgrace. he will go down in history as the worst president ever, ever, ever. he is a disgrace to society. how can someone come another black person say they support trump? ofmp will never get 10% black votes. he is a disgrace to this country, a total disgrace. .ost: we will get a response
9:50 pm
bishop aubrey shines. iest: thank you, anne, appreciate your response when someone disagrees with someone, that tends to cancel them. i heard you say that i am disgraceful, that this president nne, pleasece, but, a member when you share those types of words without sharing, ma'am, why you feel that way, you add to the narrative that when you disagree with someone, just call them a name. note, anne, you did not bring up any policies that mr. trump has brought forth. disgrace, butt lik i am a you do not know me. my mother is jewish, so i guess i am a disgrace to blacks and a disgrace to jews.
9:51 pm
i would vehemently disagree with calling someone names without speaking of any specific policy, but i do appreciate your calling and. host: we go to javier, joining us from miami on our line for republicans. good morning. caller: good morning. good morning to both of you. i just want to commend bishop aubrey, because he is courageous to stand there and talk truth, and i am just amazed at the level of brainwashing that is occurring by the media, because anywhere you go, anywhere you turn, any newspaper you pick up, or magazine, is the same rhetoric about president donald trump. it 1000e i repeat times, first becomes perception, and then truth, for some. let's just take, for instance, one issue, and that is abortion. the democratic party and their platform is the active promotion
9:52 pm
of either the dismembering of sucking through a tube of little infants that cannot defend themselves or the cutting into pieces. now, if you want to promote that for money and politics, you are willing also to lie, to cheat, to steal, by logic, huh? by just sheer logic. if you are willing to do that innocent human beings -- by the way, most of those are black, are black babies, are the ones that end up being killed in abortion. host: we will get a response. thank you for the call. guest: javier, i think you are right on point there. and, again, to every viewer, believe,point, i should be amplified. just briefly here, consider this. planned parenthood started by a white eugenicist who happened to be a democrat. that white eugenicist, margaret
9:53 pm
sanger, her words, not mine, "blacks are no more than weeds," that is how she viewed them, and she believe they should be exterminated. well, that view is still being held by her party. only 13% ofsent individuals who are in this nation, yet they make up this totality, as far as large numbers come over 20 million plus since roe v. wade have actually been started. note fertility clinics that help ladies produce children are predominately in white areas. however, planned parenthood is an prominently black and brown areas. t, i think he poin is onto something. again, when i hear the rhetoric of those on the left speaking of the horrible things that this president has done, remember, he is the only sitting president who has ever marched even for life. those things are protecting, by the way, black children in the womb.
9:54 pm
they and their lives matter as well. host: last month, in an op-ed in the "washington times," you wrote the following, quote -- "of course there is racism in america, and it is in the democratic party." can you explain? yes.: the democratic party of course was proslavery, the crow kkk. they are the party that gave us jim crow laws. it was the democratic president that said, and i cannot use the n-word that he used, that if we continue to give blacks in america these entitlements, we -- don't votee for it for the next 200 years. so we see systemic racism, and it is still by a party that fought the 13th, 14th, 15th the men met in our constitution to even prevent blacks from even voting. they are still doing the same
9:55 pm
thing, and that is they are divideto be divisive and americans by issues of black-and-white kid ruts . wass remember, steve, it the republican party that said we are all equal in the eyes of god. by the way, i am not a republican, i am a conservative, for gods's sake, and that is conservative clergy of color, we fight for this. includinges, symbols, the confederate flag, there was a statement by the defense department that did not list the confederate flag, per se, but listed the flags that were , care and military bases in this country and around the world. this past week, on cbs news, she used to be at fox, katherine harris with president trump. [video clip]
9:56 pm
catherine: back in 2015, you said about a flood belonged in a museum. do you still believe that? pres. trump: my attitude is freedom of speech. very simple. like it, don't like it, it is freedom of speech. catherine: would you be comfortable with your supporters displaying the battle flag at your events? pres. trump: it depends on what your definition is i am comfortable with freedom of speech. catherine: you understand why the flag is painful for some -- they are not thinking about slavery. i look at nascar, you have the flags all over the place. they stopped it and i think it is freedom of speech, whether it is confederate flags or black lives matter or anything else you want to talk about. it is freedom of speech. host: the full interview available at cbsnews.com. bishop aubrey shines, your comments. guest: well, i agree with our president. again, if we are going to remove
9:57 pm
the various landmarks, then what are we doing? this brief analysis as case in point. if we remove the icons that do not represent the best in america, then how do we teach our children, our nieces and nephews, that this nation actually overcame individuals like that? what is next? tomorrow, are we then going to remove martin luther king, after all, he traditionally believe that abortion was one of black'' biggest ailments that they needed to rid themselves of. when we remove these historical icons, again, like them or hate them is not the issue, we then take away our ability to teach our children. the good of america actually overcame these individuals, and once you begin, steve, to go down that road of removing things, then what are you doing subsequent?
9:58 pm
you are now putting black lives matter's individuals as icons, and these individuals have their history, their origins, it is based out of marxism. so what are we going to do now? start america from marxism? i believe, in the words of our presidents, let these icons estate. if states want them, it is states rights. let's use them as a teaching tool and not being divisive. host: the organization is conservative clergy of color. its chair is bishop aubrey shines. caller: good morning. bishop aubrey shines, thank you for taking the time to speak to people on this issue. i am sorry about the comment that that lady anne made in your direction. i will say this, as someone who voted democrat and then voted republican, anytime i set i voted for a republican candidate, i have gotten the worst from white
9:59 pm
liberals, so let me say i am not an advocate for donald trump. i think donald trump is the consequence of the people like a joe biden. now, donald trump has done some good in the country, has done some not so good in the country, but when people call in, and they make attacks against you, or they say "black republicans," or "black this," i think the fact that you ignore the fact that joe biden was in office for 40 years as u.s. senator, and not one thing was passed to support the black community, that is why i cannot vote for him or taken seriously. thatefore anybody gets on joe biden/anti-trump bandwagon, joe biden, not donald trump, is the person who eulogized a former clans member. joe biden is the one who eulogized strom thurmond, who gave 24 straight hours of a segregationist speech. the democrat party has been the party, historically, tied to
10:00 pm
systemic racism. if you are offended by the confederate flag, you cannot support the democratic party, because the democrat party was the party that the flag was protected by. so, mr. shines, keep working hard and doing what you are doing. i do not agree with some of the things you are saying, but i do agree with the idea of black independence and black voting independent, because for 80 years, since 1936, we have voted for the democrat party, and we are still talking about, "we shall overcome." so for the future callers coming in, you should catch yourself before you attack mr. shines, because you vote for a party that has failed, failed, failed the black man over and over again. take care. host: frank from lynchburg, thank you. bishop shines, your reaction. guest: i think that that gentleman just displayed what we
10:01 pm
are trying to help individuals consider, and that is, listen, let's have discourse. let's use diplomacy. the very stats that that gentleman shared, look, these are on our website, we talk about these things, we produce videos about that subject matter. we get a complete history of those things. by the way, to that gentleman, if he is ever interested, i did a five-minute video that homes.y reach 60-million it gave a historical account of the democratic party. again, these are not my opinions, these are things that are embedded within our history books, and anyone that can continue to overlook these things, they are either intentionally deceiving themselves or, unfortunately, they are under a cloud of under individuals, rather, that have
10:02 pm
pushed this narrative and they have fell victim to themselves. steve, i just say, to that caller, we can do better. host: the website, by the way, is conservativeclergyo fcolor.org, and this is what it looks like, as we go to new jersey. caller: good morning, steve. good morning, bishop. we are not under a cloud when the republic and party's only conservative when the democrats are in office. that first $2 trillion tax package, 83% went to the top 1% in america. martin luther king was a republican. the problem is, he was a republican because of the dixiecrat's. -- of the ku klux klan supported the democratic party back then. today, the ku klux klan supports
10:03 pm
the republican party. just like donald trump says that -- he calls some people "anti-semitic," but when those people in charlottesville were saying that "jews will not replace us," he kept silent, and then said "there's nice people on both sides." for the pro-life, but democratic -- for the republican party to have voter suppression you to say that you support donald trump, donald trump was a democrat for over 60 years, for the majority of his life! he only became republican when he ran for president. now, for you to say that we are delusional? the delusional one -- this is the first president that they had fact checkers on. this is a president that won't even unveil the portrait of
10:04 pm
president obama, and he just covered the portraits up of george bush, and he covered the portrait up of hillary clinton. host: we will stop you there, cornell, and get a response. thanks for the call. guest: cornell, i am sorry, i was not able to kind of follow everything you are saying there, , but if i took your one point only, how could i support donald trump him all, he was a andcrat for six decades, therefore, i guess you are and then that he only became a republican to run, well, if he was a racist in the party of racism, which is the democratic party, wouldn't logic at least imply that he should remain a democrat, and he should run as a
10:05 pm
democrat? please remember, sir, people like al sharpton, jesse jackson, oprah winfrey, and a host of other blacks that are in america actually was not only no donald trump prior to him running, they supported him, he supported them. so, again, if he is a racist, sir, he is doing a horrible job at being a racist, because, after all, he is the president who has reformed prison issues. by the way, that primarily affects blacks. he is the first president -- if he is a racist, he is doing a horrible job, because the policies that this gentleman has created that have helped blacks historically in ways they have never been helped before. so, sir, if he is a racist, i certainly hope he continues to be one, as he continues to do a great job for all americans. host: on the issue of reparations, this is a story in "usa today," moving ahead for reparations for black americans.
10:06 pm
a reporter, nicole anna jones, was asked about the issue of reparations. she is part of the 1618 project. let's watch that and get your reaction on the others. [video clip] nicole: black americans phase a single economic crisis, both prior to the pandemic and after the pandemic. what it would look like is a comprehensive program, and investment of resources in black communities and schools, constructive by federal, state, and local governments. actuald call for enforcement, civil rights laws against discrimination in housing and its cremation and jobs, and, most importantly, it would include individual tax payments to black americans to make up for. black households have $.10 of wealth for every house that white americans have, and black american households with children have one cent of wealth
10:07 pm
that white americans have. host: your reaction, bishop shines. guest: i have one word -- "misguided." i think it is fair to say that any civil minded individual, let's be honest here, if you commit a crime against me, should i go to your neighbor and have your neighbor pay for that crime, or should i go to you? the same concept is true as it relates to reparations for reparations, as they will be given, should not go to the individuals who believe in this go to the party that gave them to them in the first place? it was the democratic party. so if we are going to be paid, shouldn't nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, be the first ones in line, writing out checks to blacks? that i go further. what about blacks that own blacks? i will go even further. if that is the case, and historically it is, shouldn't we countries?islamic after all, they were the major buyers of blacks, selling them to people in spain and other
10:08 pm
places. this narrative is silly. the only time we hear about reparations is when an individual sits in the overall office, that happens to be a republic, and that is when we hear about it. every four years, the same race identity issues begin to surface over and over again, hoping to stir up the emotions of individuals. and, by the way, if race reparations were necessary, when barack hussein obama was in the oval office for eight years, having a senate and a congress that he could have used, why didn't he ask reparations? no one would have been able to stop him. they certainly didn't when he passed socialized medicine called obamacare. so it is a silly notion. it is only used to create emotions within a particular community, and, steve, i just think we should do better than that. as a nation, we should not be divided. we are the united states of america. host: we will go to alabaster, alabama, on the republican line. karen, thank you for waiting. good morning. caller: good morning.
10:09 pm
how are you doing this morning? host: we are good. thank you for joining us. caller: first, i want to say, i love your guest. i agree with everything he has said. i also agree with the person from virginia who called in just earlier. he mailed it, 100%, why has been elected. pros not that people are trump, they are anti-career politicians. i was going to say that is one reason why jeff sessions lost, because we are tired of career politicians being put into office. but my question for your guest facts, how can we get the out about president trump? he has been the first pro-african american president we have had come up with a lot of the things he has done. to do we get the word out people with what he has done, the facts, without everyone listening to the media and airspan on what he has done -- their spin on what he has done.
10:10 pm
thank you. host: karen, from alabama, thank you. guest: karen, we get the facts showsing into like steve's show here. i cannot help it. i think it is a great show. go to your favorite media outlets, whatever they are, share it. print them out. share them with friends. meet other people that are perhaps not part of the circle in which you run in. identify church groups, etc., civil groups, etc., and get the information out. again, i believe facts will always went. there is a reason why the continues todia suppress groups like ourselves, conservative clergy of color here. why? they cannot find them selves able to stand against facts? why? it doesn't fit their narrative. the work you're doing in alabama i think personifies the work we can all do. let's talk about it. let's have a civil, diplomatic
10:11 pm
conversation. i thing we can find out that america is a great place to live. if you don't believe that, by the way, get a passport, travel somewhere, and you will come back to this great country, and you will thank god for the united states of america. host: we will go to greenville, north carolina. robert, you are next. caller: yes, bishop, what do you think about donald trump's racism? guest: could you become a circum-a little more specific? that goesn the racism to those who were incarcerated, primarily blacks? are you talking about the racism when he get historical amount of money that no other president has done, historically black colleges and universities? are you talking about the same racism but dated a black woman? or are you talking about racism when he supported people like rosa parks, al sharpton, jesse jackson? i guess, sir, you are going to
10:12 pm
have to be a little more clear on what part of the racist rhetoric this president has, in your opinion, shown, that i am just not aware of. host: robert from brooklyn is next, republican line. good morning. ohioans caller: good morning. -- caller: good morning. really think a christian person would support donald trump in this election. butsaid you were a jew, gentile andw is arabs. israel commits genocide and homicide on the palestinian people. you were excited about it. do you have one testament, sir? because jesus was born in palestine. so i would like you to address that for me.
10:13 pm
palestine.orn in but yet when you talk about in christmas time, you keep silent. let's talk about bethlehem. host: robert, we will leave it there and get a response. bishop shines, is this something you have been focusing on? guest: robert, actually, i find it very difficult to believe that our president is anti-semitic. after all, he does have a sign and some grandkids that are jewish, so i am really not sure the part of anti-semitic schism that you are referencing. as you asked a question about where jesus was born, let me very briefou a theological premise of crisis. it is not about the color of one's skin. it racism, as we know it, sir, here in this country and abroad, was never reflected in any of the torah and/or the new testament. there were tribe issues. there were cultural issues.
10:14 pm
. . but race was not the issue. christ did not come to save a specific race. if you are a judeo-christian believer, you believe one blood, all mankind, every waste was created, so i never put my race above my christian principle. that you those is something that practicevers that orthodoxy in christianity is something we all believe, never race above principles. that is called idolatry. host: bishop shines, we have seen not only a spike in coronavirus come in a number of large cities, most notably los angeles, houston, chicago. a spike in shootings, predominantly, among african-american men, and the issue of police shootings are coming up. this is more from the interview between cbs news and the president on that topic. [video clip] >> if you save you shooting of george floyd was a terrible thing -- pres. trump: terrible.
10:15 pm
>> why are after american men still dying at the has a law enforcement? pres. trump: so are white people. what a terrible question. more white people, by the way. more white people. response?shines, your question guest: i think the president is right. justi in the last several year, several hundred thousand are diane, by the way, that was not by white police officers, 94% of those individuals were black killing blacks. the president is right. last year alone, killing nine unarmed black man that were killed by the police, but guess what? it was double that number and then a few for whites, so we are not seeing officers hunting down individuals, like we have heard some of the entertainment area talk about. it is a false narrative. it is something that the media continues to push without any facts. listen, if black lives matter --
10:16 pm
and all black lives, all lives matter -- where is the outcry, when 70% of those individuals who have died just in this weekend, they were from blacks killing blacks? the president is right. i do not. . think the question is fair. it certainly is not a statistical question, and, again, when we begin to address issues of this magnitude, the pushback that we hear our name calls or demeaning of some sort of way. let's talk about the facts. the president is 100% correct. black on black crime is something that we should look at, and there is an answer that has nothing to do with the police. it has everything to do with black fathers taking care of their black children. once that happens, by the way, there is no difference in the difference in employment, there is no difference in household median income. so when the black father is taking care of their black child and black children, there is no
10:17 pm
difference in whites and/or blacks. that is the reality, and until we are going to be intellectually honest about it in this country, we are going to continue to see this type of divisiveness continue to run rampant. i just believe we can do better than what we are hearing. host: our next call is from your hometown of chicago. steve, good morning. caller: good morning. how are you doing today? host: good morning. we are fine. go ahead with your question. eah, trump is a disgrace to he lies every time his lips move. that is why he is a disgrace. disgrace, because you are nothing but a profiteer. you are not a preacher, you are a profiteer. you are a bootleg preacher appeared you're a profiteer. that is why you are a disgrace. you are a disgrace, because you are a profiteer, not a preacher. host: do you want to respond?
10:18 pm
i, again, theve, insults are not going to get you a long way. if the republicans are going to givee, i wish i could them a po box that i could receive checks from. [laughs] i will say this to you, sir, my life has been threatened many times. i have to have, at times, security in places that i am going, so if i am profiting from a group that i am not getting a check from, again, i'm not aware of it, and i wish that the threats would stop. but until then, i will continue to champion this cause, because calling someone a name is not how we get, sir, anything done. when i look at the city in which you are a part of, a beautiful city that my grantors of my data my heartve lived in, like is broken, because i see the carnage on the street, and that is not by the republican party,
10:19 pm
sir, it is not by white police officers, those are black kids killing other black kids, and if we don't address that issue, we will continue to see the economy -- steve, thank you for your call, but i think we could do better than calling each other names. host: let me go back to the issue of police officers and really the division that we saw since the death of george floyd. how do communities rebuild that trust between law enforcement and the communities that they represent and that they serve? guest: yeah, well, steve, every time there has been, that we are aware of, especially on video, that does not fit the narrative of the great men and women that protect our community, those individuals, and, again, they are prosecuted, as long we saw in north carolina, where they stop the guy and gunned him down who was running, they are in a prison somewhere. i do not like calling them police. i like calling them peace
10:20 pm
officers, because they really do create peace. the reality of it is, when bad cops go bad, guess what? they go to prison. but, again, we can't take a small fraction and a look at that and say, "aha, that all of them are bad." something i learned about in school is called deductive logic. andannot say an egg is hard a rock is hard, therefore an egg is a rock. let due process have its preeminence, and in doing so, we will get rid of the bad cops, but we need these peace officers on the streets of our inner city, especially -- as a matter of fact, instead of defunding them, how about increasing the number of police officers, because these areas that are riddled with crime, they need help more than anyone else, and we can see that, unfortunately, of littlee the lives infants and those that are 79 years of age, that they are being gunned down. they did not do anything wrong.
