Thank you Facebook and YouTube. Good morning. Welcome to Community Voice. I'm your host Keith Perez. I want to thank everybody for joining us this morning. Good morning, Mr. Debo. Good morning, sir. How are you, sir? I am great, man. How about yourself? Man, you know, dude, man, I don't know. But who would Angela
He said, I'm in the land of the living. That's it. The funeral director said, I'm still riding up front. There you go. There you go. There was a funeral director who said he hated flowers because he saw so many flowers at funerals. And he said, the thing about you giving people flowers is they die. Well, so a lot of people now in lieu of flowers, they will say, you can donate to a cause. And I think that that's more lasting than
You know, the flowers, um, it's always, you know, when people are leaving and now they ask, we need, uh, we need six, six ladies to come to take the flowers, but the flowers died. I think, you know, I appreciate that. Um, but, you know, people send flowers and anyway, so is it out of order to say at a funeral, I thank God for being in the land of the living. No. Well, there's an eye.
I always thought that that was insensitive to the family. What? They should be thankful. They're in the land of the living. Yeah, but they love when this land. I got all of that. But they ain't dead. Yeah, but ain't that personal? Something that you can keep yourself. Look, I don't know. And I know when people hate to hear me because it seems like I'm being so indifferent. But there's a reality that we look at that. Jamaica dead.
No, wait, hold on. Let's do somebody else, man. Why you want to throw me in the grid? This cat been trying to put me underneath the water for a minute, man. It's a chance I get to sneak up in your little black shroud back there. Don't go to the bathroom. It's like, hey, man, you know, Freddy's dead. That's it. Let's go with Freddy. No, I mean, it's, and I understand it's your loved one. You got all, but the reality is that that person, you ain't saying, man, I was with him.
I'm glad they got him and they didn't get me. That's not to say. You might be feeling that. Or because I've actually heard people at the funeral services say, I thank God for sparing my life because it could have been me. But this person just passed away. And no clothes. We don't like that. You know, like just another number. Oh my God.
the melody is great on that song. But the lyrics, that is one of my favorite gospel songs. And then it gets into this real theological conundrum where you get to where, you know, it could have been me, but you said it not to be. And then the question becomes,
Why me and not that other person, but man, that's that's a deep lyric. What I just You know, and I know we that people get excited about it, but when you sit up and you listen to some of these lyrics like I Had did a message on on contentment and that song it is well and it says when peace like River attended my way when sorrows
Like sea billows blow. But when you listen to it, we're into the poetry. The prose is saying that even in the good times, even in the bad times, it's well with my soul. All those years I was looking at that and never captured that. But yeah, yeah. Certain songs man that was created back then really had
Like have some substance to it. Yeah, and I think people still are writing look deep lyrics What's my guy Jonathan Nelson? Oh Yeah, he has a song and the opening line of this song this like Two words this most powerful two words pregnant possibility. Oh My god, I was like dude, you know, you always pregnant
Pregnant possibility. That sounds like something for the family court. No, no, no, no, no. It just talks about the birth of possibility and as long as you have possibility. Oh, I thought she was saying like she was saying she was pregnant and it's a possibility with your mains. No, because ain't nothing that happened because my seed, brother. Here we go. Let's not.
Tomorrow you know how listeners here right? I know I know I know I hear No, but I'm saying tomorrow your man got some woman pregnant. Yeah We know that's a lot. Well, that ain't a lie. No, actually you got a couple kids. Well, I got two that's a couple Yeah, but to get somebody pregnant now is over that well, we don't know that no, I know that okay. All right
I know for sure. We weren't trying to get all in your business. Oh, no, I used to be a young and restless fan this throwback Thursday I don't know if y'all remember this back back back in the day in the 80s remember Victor Newman Victor Newman had a vasectomy That didn't take and that's how Nikki got pregnant Wow, I'm just a well, you know a nowadays nowadays With all of these good surgeries, man
They, they, you know, they haven't said that, you know, they, if you go... It can happen. Yeah. It can happen. I know. Now, I can't you sue? No. You sign a... You sign a... Wait, wait. A waiver, a disclaimer waiver. Because I thought it was a, it was a lawsuit that was pending. No. You sign, all that, that, when you sign it for surgery. Yeah. You need to go and read the fine print. Oh, that they make it so little. Yeah, and you didn't sign it. Yeah. Well... I know, I'm a little worried because...
I have an injection next week, but they consider that surgery. Yeah, well, yeah, because if you go into sedation, right? And if you move, why they doing that process? Yeah, I'm all anxious. So thank you. Well, I'll tell you one thing. One thing I've learned is take the Lord along with you everywhere you go. And as the old culture folks will say, you go need them, you go need them.
You're really calming his nerves. Thank you. Hey, hey, Devo, you see my head moving? You're gonna need him. I'm not saying you're gonna die, but you do have your stuff at work. Thank you very much for that, man. Let me see. Let's see. Good morning. Let me ask you, Keith, as a preacher or any preacher,
Are you supposed to have is your stuff always in order? I Was talking about your financials, you know all those kind of things. I don't know what that looks like You know what a man, you know, you know, I love the church God of Christ I mean spiritual side as well though. Yeah, would you but that's a business fix? Yeah, it's point in time It could be point in time. Here you go. What'd you say to me?
This old Sam and I remember back in the day and It used to confuse me when they say that he was coming back for a church without a spot or wrinkle and Remember over at Rehoba
Right over to where they had that Sunday school thing. It was a crack that was over the top of the Sunday school board Yeah, so I used to say boy Matt Rehobo ain't going back It's African-American theology
I mean it was like people would say like you know I ain't gonna sit up and do that you gonna get hit by lightning talking about being in church I remember looking it up with it back in the day the reason why churches got hit by lightning was because they were so high right and so it now I don't know how much of that had to do with with God and you know the judgment of God it's it's one of those things where you hear people
Talk about that, you know and getting back to Walter Hawkins, you know, I hear they wrote a lot of songs they were young Where they were talking about going up yonder, you know, I mean it was it was it was interesting But that that's on thank you Lord that is That that's an amazing piece of music, you know you at I would have that would have been a great interview to be able to ask What were you thinking about when you because people tell you like?
Richard Smallwood said he was going through an incredibly tough situation when he wrote Total Praise. And Total Praise wasn't even the song on the album, right? That wasn't the one, but you know, choirs, choir directors, you know this, you go in and you find a song like musically, it might not be the one everybody else is doing, but musically, let me shout out the majestics because man, when they do Total Praise.
You know, I tell people people come for the hits. Yeah. I don't know if you play any of your hits Saturday. Oh, man, I'm playing all of the hits. And I got some special guests, man.

Thank you. God bless y'all. Take care and tell Michelle and all of us tonight. All right. Thank you. Wow. To be the oldest of 24 kids and you at 83 years old.
That's and they are still around that's amazing man. That's a blessing man That's a blessing 83 years old I'm so depressed
So depressed. Keith, we in sync because Saturday is my 74th. Oh, is that right? You're born on the 11th. 11. 7-11, man. 7-11. 7-11. 7-11. That ain't like 4-5-6. Right. No. I couldn't hit that one either. Snake eyes. Snake eyes.
Well, I just want to tell you that I know you, how's your healing going? But I just, you know, I feel good that I'm healing. I still have to be cautious. But hey, I'm here and I'm just blessed to be around and have all the people around me. I love so. Yeah, man. Well, if I don't talk to you before your birthday, happy birthday. But I'm sure we probably will talk before then.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But hey, man, you know, when you talked about that soccer, the FIFA stuff, I had never really watched. I seen little stuff here. But man, I was amazed at what them guys can do. I know Pallet was one of my heroes. But I still am amazed at what people can do with their feet. Oh, man. Yeah. It's just, I mean, you just don't think about stuff like that. You know, you don't.
You know, I could barely dribble a basketball. These guys doing stuff with the hands that they beat this like amazing. How much of that is physics because you watch people, angles, geometry. I mean, you have to people in America really not used to watching soccer. So they, you know, they're used to basketball where you score, you know, or football where you're scoring constantly. Soccer is not like that.
So when the Belgians put up like four goals Yeah, yeah, when he hit that penalty kick and that thing curved Oh, yeah, man with that. That's where bended like Beckham came from. Yeah It's like a certain it's like a certain part of the ball that you got a right. It's a science man It ain't just kicking the ball and just like Throughout the world you see people they build like these makeshift Soccer pitches like we used to make makeshift basketball
That's what they do. I mean, you know, those kids are, I mean, it's the sport, but now I think you're beginning to see where especially basketball is one of those sports now that people are picking up throughout the world. So even with baseball, what?
Basketball with certain passes you can pass the ball a certain way You could put a spin on it that you can shoot it one way and then hit that spot and bounce English. Yeah, there you go Artie Green had so much English on it. Yeah, he did a lit one time We were at our avenue man. I had never seen English put on Put on a shot like that so all right, and you know what's fascinating is that
I was a little mad at them. I thought that they, they always talked about all these greats, but somehow they don't talk about Palais as much. You know, Palais was the first guy I ever seen see soccer, but also that bicycle kick that he was famous for. I mean, just so I, sometimes I think, you know, sometimes y'all traveling back into the same old thing, you can only give recognition to, to those current, but you didn't forgot about those people who were legends in the game.
And, you know, it's that whole term beautiful game, which was originated as a style of football that they play in Brazil. And it's a more wide open kind of game where, you know, now if you have the individual talent, be able to do the things that he's able to do or Pele was able to do with the ball, you know, it's like dribbling.
Right. And so you have people out there to be a handle and watch how these people do it. But it is, uh, like just a game of inches where, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's been good. I'm looking forward to it. I think today we have Morocco and France, France is right now considered the best team in the world.
were all those descendants of Africans on their team. What was it? That was the other amazing thing. Just to see all these black people, black men, and all of these different teams, then people be talking about immigrants and diversity and shoot every team in the world. The only team that you didn't see any Africans on were the Eastern European teams. You saw a couple here and there. No, none. You didn't see any? None.
You know, they talk about Russia is the whitest nation in the world, right? There is no if there's diversity there be those Asians that are East but you don't see a lot of black folks and and here's the irony in Mexico their best player Was a descendant of an African Key onus their best player in Mexico, but you're right with not those Eastern European team I was surprised the number of descendants of Africans who play for Switzerland
Wow, because I never remember, you know, Switzerland was not a colonial power in Africa now. I'm not surprised that France and England I don't know if Norway had any I think Norway might have one or two You know, and you there's no wider country in the world in Norway because Norway is up there with Arctic Circle. I mean, they're way north So yeah, that diversity piece of it is is is is interesting
Just like they hide things, like they never talk about Russia with the black African poet who was the poet laureate of Russia for years. So they really mentioned that guy. So he's like some of these places that just happen to not mention some of their affiliations with Africans and African people. Yeah, and I think the other thing is Russia was not an African colonial power.
And a lot of what you see with a lot of these countries where they were is France, England, Belgium. They were colonial power, Spain, Portugal. So yeah, they had descendants of Africans there because they had such a presence negative as it were in Africa. So that's why you see that. And I think a lot of folks, if it's a former colony, you might have citizenship.
In that country so like if you're part of the British Commonwealth if you're part of I know France when you look at because I was going to see Senegal was a former French colony So it's not surprising that there are so many Senegalese. I think the Congo was Belgium and Then what is Rwanda, Uganda? They were English. It's fascinating. All right, man. Well again
Hey man, y'all be blessed. All right, you too. All right, you're listening to Community Voice. Caller, I see you. I'm going to ask you to hold over for the break. And let me do this right. You're listening to Community Voice and we'll be right back. All right. All right, there we go. All right, welcome back. Caller, welcome to the program. Good morning. Good morning, Keith. What up, Rick? Long time no talk, too. I heard that, man.
I just want to say that soccer is the kung fu sport among sports. You've got to use your legs. You're restricted in using your hands. And you really got to be in tip top shape to play that sport. And switching into having black players.
Those black players know where the money is that So do they apply for like Swiss citizenship you're breaking up. No, you're breaking up. Is that better? Yeah, okay. Do they apply for Swiss citizenship? No, I'm trying because I don't because again a lot of England makes sense Germany makes sense, you know, because they had a presence in Africa Switzerland never did
but i was surprised when i saw at least two or three players now some of them look biracial so you know that could be it in terms of how people uh get there but i was that was kind of surprising to me so no i i don't know how the citizenship the game worked in switzerland because i know that's what katar did they brought a lot of folks and gave them um katari uh citizenship i'm here in germany
And, uh, as much as I've talked about Malcolm X, they're not about to give me citizenship. I hear you, bro. Talk to you later. All right, man. Peace. All right. Uh, Cocoa golf and much over is who third set tied for four, four games. And it looks like.
Let's see if golf is going to be able to break her go five four. So anyway, I'm doing this real time Let me let me do this and I wasn't you know, I if people know me if you listen to the program, you know that I Try not to kick people when they're down And what I mean by that is sometimes when we talk about certain stories
You know it is tough enough that the person is in headlines and now we're talking about it, but it's been. Former Florida government gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum was arrested on drug charges. And just to.
Let me just read from USA Today, former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum has been arrested on drug possession charges in Alabama after police said they pulled them over for erratic driving and found marijuana and meth in the vehicle.
It is the latest legal trouble for the ex-Tally Hassemere, who narrowly lost to Republican Ron DeSantis for governor in 2018. He was once considered a rising star in the Democratic Party. Gillum, 46, was arrested on July 2nd in Daphne, Alabama, about 11 miles east of Mobile on Alabama's Gulf Coast. He's charged with marijuana possession on lawful possession of controlled substance. The Daphne police said jail records showed he was released on July 3rd.
Court records for Gillian's case has not yet been available. What I did read was that they found a pipe, they found meth, and then they found some marijuana. The marijuana charge is the least. But the reason why I'm even talking about this was I was looking at the level of support that he's receiving.
I mean via social media and we can go in a lot of times and like I said kick people when they're down But he's given a lot of support and obviously That's a that's a that's an amazing fall from grace and To It's difficult people are
probably familiar with the story in Miami where he a person he was with an escort the escort had OD they had to call 9-1-1 and that came in they found him passed out he wasn't charged with anything but the damage was done because he was doing he was part of a
a democratic affiliated group that was doing get out the vote, because like I said, he was a rising star in the Democratic Party. But man, boy, when it rains, it pours, and I say the greatest sin is exposure, right?
that human beings are dealing with their human issues. And then, you know, when the lights come on, we come out and there's a certain thing that you see or a certain presentation of that individual that you see. And then we find out that there are real private struggles going on. So hopefully he's going to be able to ride the ship and get back because he's an incredible talent. And I think he can be an asset to our community.
Call a welcome to the program Turn down the radio. Yeah Yeah, well, you know some I'm still trying to figure this one out. It started happening probably about 10 years ago Black folk getting involved with mess. That's never been a black man's drug And they black folk young black folk, and I guess I'm always to I find in me sales involved with mess something that you make in the kitchen
out of suitably, you know, whatever they do, you know, that's why we can't go to the store and get suit up there and some of those other cross the counter, you know, home remedy drugs because of the simple, over counter drugs because of the simple fact they've been using it and compounding it to make meth. And, you know, when I see a brother or any black person, I'm like, wow, wasn't, what wasn't, wasn't correct enough by you. So, you know that.
That's a sad thing, man. But he was a mayor, so you gotta realize something. We've got about 500 black mayors across the country that I can count. That's probably a part of that. What is it? The MAA, or the AAM, some association where they saw black mayors. It's association for these cats. Most of them are Democrats. They probably won't even welcome in a black Republican mayor. And I don't know why.
and we all fighting the same cause because guess what? When something happens, we get treated the same equally. That's what I don't understand. You know, I heard somebody say, man, I wouldn't help you if you was on the side of the road and you messed all up. I said, man, because I changed my persuasion of voting, I mean, you know, I mean, what kind of part of the game is that, you know, when a person
actually denounces his own type of people because he decides to do something different. That's a good, you know what, and I'm glad you brought that up because I have that same question. And again, I'm in a different space, you know, I'm in a space where it should be somewhat neutral in terms of so people can come in and express how they think, I mean, express what they think, how they feel.
At the same token, though, I could disagree with you in terms of your politics. I think when we get into beginning to go and do character destruction on people, where we make it so personal, not that anybody's done anything. They just have a different political view than I do. And I think that we can be real personal with it.
But hold on, is that, are you at that point, hold on one, are you at that point a traitor to your race? Because now you don't see it. I am fooling with you, I don't care about saying you man, I don't care if you, I wouldn't piss down your throat if your heart was on fire. So what do you mean? I thought we was all about the, we from the same, we cut from the same.
But you know what, and this is something that maybe people don't always appreciate in politics. Politics really is the art of compromise, right? Because when you have two opposing forces who feel very strongly about their position or their opinion, in order for us to move forward, we have to find compromise.
an infiltrator and even if you don't find compromise man even if you don't find compromise if I see you on the side of the road man with a flat tire and I know the next car may not be coming for hours in this dark out there I'm gonna either ask you hey you want to try to get this big sale you want me to get you to the gas station man or what it wouldn't make a difference see humanitarian then we scream out we are
And it's on both sides of this. And I'm going to say this because you and I disagree on a lot. But I could say this about you from what I know about you and my interactions with you is that I do not get like you the worst person on the planet. I just don't agree with your views. And I think that that's when we turn it into that, it turns into something else. Now look, I'm going to tell you it's hard, though, and I know he's your boy.
But it's kind of hard for folks to look at a Clarence Thomas and not feel all kind of ways because, you know, is somebody that looks like us? Chief, what I do is I look at the root of the tree. OK. First of all, I look at the root of the tree. And I look at where, why is this black guy so disliked and so hated in the beginning? I remember sending my little out of the office, you know.
and I was watching that whole thing go down with the leader bald and all of that stuff, right? I knew whatever name was, I forgot a name. I might be mispronouncing them, misthinking about it. But anyway, listen. Listen, the root of why people don't like this guy is because he was put in place by a Republican. No, no, no. Now I'm gonna disagree with you. Hold on, brother. Can I just draw my point there? You can go in. I don't want, I don't want to, I just want to lay out what
Looking me looking my perspective of looking at the tree. I mean it's the root of the cause of why he's this thing No, because the reason why I'm disagreeing with you was it was a democratically controlled Senate that put him in Joe Biden was No, no, but you were saying it was Republican. It was he was nominated by Republican but it was a Democratic Senate that confirmed him
Now, check this out. Listen to this real good. But after all the scrutiny and all of the insults and all the hatred, hey man, when that man got in office, I got over there and got behind that man, and we still wouldn't let it, we still wouldn't let it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down. Let him live it down.
Let him live down a lot of this stuff. No, I mean is this is how he's voting is No, but what I'm saying is that What what what Claire's Thomas was able to do was divert attention away from his positions And so then we got into because there's still people who were saying best based on some personal behavior He was unfit to be on the Supreme Court
Well, you had you had you had compromised Democratic senators Ted Kennedy Joe Biden didn't comport himself well because there were two other women who could corrupt corroborate What Anita Hill had said they never got to testify so beyond that the issue that people have with Clarence Thomas right now was now was it's in is amazing how some folks will rock and roll
with white folks until something happened and then all of a sudden they blacked. It's like OJ, right? I don't know if you remember, they took the jury out to OJ's house. His lawyers went in because OJ didn't have any pictures of black people up in his house. So somebody came in and said, is this OJ's house? Because he didn't put up all these, it's amazing how we fall back black, right? When before I was just OJ. Now,
because they come in because what you found out was that they still we've seen the same thing here with our police chief okay we've seen the same thing here with chief for jones with jones wasn't a bad dude really uh but but when he when he realized that he was black and the folk come at him then where would he find himself at over there jones was one of those folks because jones was jones was one of the people who was the founder of the league of martin
I mean, so when you look at that, he knew because he became a cop when Briar was chief. Listen, I get all of that brother, but do you understand where he ran to at that? The League of Martin was for them. The League of Martin went for us.
The League of Martin was started by black police officers. What are you talking about? It was for the force, man. No, it was because of the racism. No, no, it had everything to do with how black officers were being treated, right? And so they formed the League of Martin because the union wasn't doing anything really to help black officers.
So is the racism in the Milwaukee Police Department? Well, I appreciate you, man. Let me get the next caller. Good morning. Oh, good morning. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Look here. You know, in a position I am, and I look at our justices and the things that they do with people of our color.
A lot of our people don't stand for us. They don't stand there for us. They don't hold our back when they get around and get a certain level of income. They do what they do to keep themselves looking good and the other people high. And the bad part about that is that you still got to consider the ones around you, those who pay for who come and they stand for you. You still
a black man, you cannot stop being a black man. And when you start voting and making views publicly for the other people, and it hurts your people, we can't call him Uncle Tom because everybody, they really screwed up Uncle Tom. He wasn't that type of person. He was a helper of his people. He is just Uncle Tom.
You know, people used to call Uncle Tom, but we have to look at it. What they really done is just gave up on their people and decided they want what they want, the way they want it, because they've been hitting it on the white people level they feel, until one day they have to look in the mirror and realize that they are black.
Yeah, and and you'll find out very quickly and like I said Getting back to the confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas, you know when he talked about a high tech lynching for uppity Negroes who they to speak for themselves and think for themselves I was getting ready and I you know because I know George, you know like nigga, please You know It wasn't and then here's something you benefited from because you were black
But then somehow you don't think Ride Out or Paris or Debo are worthy of that same benefit that you have. That's when it becomes a problem. Like, you know, I, I, and I understand people feel like they're free thinkers. You know, like they, I talked to my guy, he says, a free thinking black man. Yeah. Okay. Free thinking black man. What is, what is free thinking when you just, when you don't look back at your ancestors and learn what they went through?
And what they and what they fought for for you to get here to vote and the things you do now you want to go and jump ship I'm a free-thinking right person. I didn't go through racism Oh, yeah, oh, yeah People miss that little piece of it Because look I and and and and and I'm a human first person
Okay, I always talk about my humanity, but I cannot separate my ethnicity from my humanity because my ethnicity My complexion has impact then on how the world views me my place in the world all these things I wish it was this meritocracy that you hear people talking about all if you just work hard take your vitamins and say your prayers you're making in America that ain't true
And the thing here, you know, my dad taught me, he said, you ought to be around them people, but you're better not trust them. By no means. Let them in your personal space, because when they first find they get a chance, they're going to lynch you. They might not be physically, but they're going to get you. Have you ever seen the movie The Jerk? Yeah.
And then when he was leaving home and his daddy said, he gave him two advice. Don't accept any wood nickels. And then he said to Steve Bob, he was white and don't trust whitey. Oh man, I was like, oh man. But that's a leveler right there when you look at that. You know, you got to raise your children. You got to tell them the truth. You can't sit here and give them information that's going to get them what and allow them to be failures.
Right and I think that look it's a it's life is a crap shoot. I mean like you could do everything well and still fail or you could be the biggest near do well and do well. I mean sometimes it happens like that but I just think whether and again being a human first person I got that.
but your gender, your sexuality, your ethnicity, right? Your social, economic status, all these things go into how the world views you. They play the part of who you are. Right. All right, ma'am. But let me say this here for you, where we go. You know, like I'm gonna say this here, my dad raised me in a place, and the best thing I did was went back and looked at what he taught me, the thing, his suffering.
There and he says sorry son. I would do these things your grandfather with through these things your grandmother with through these things and these are the things That you got to remember that's on them pain and help you get over the hurt a lot All right peace All right, you listen to community voice caller. I see you I'ma grab you right after the break 41444452504144445250
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. FM with your host, Keith Parris. Here. Yeah, you know, David Gruber in his commercial, he does the whole sports thing. And Yannis is all in his commercial. So I wonder does he have to re-edit that commercial now to take Yannis out, playing for the Bucks? Well, you know, Yannis did say no matter where he plays at, Milwaukee is the city.
No, but I'm he can't be in the bucks uniform for the advertising. He doesn't play for the bucks anymore Can't they use old footage? I don't know if they that's an interesting piece. I know a lot of times That's why when you watch athletes doing certain advertisements, they might not have the current team They're playing with because they might not be with that team and so they might do a similar color to the team Yeah, but they and I think you get into NBA licensing and some other things call a welcome to the program
Good morning to you, Mr. Parris. Good morning, sir. And by the way, I saw him writing to you. Good morning, sir. Yes, sir. I was listening to Ms. Bryant earlier when she was talking about the governor's race. And I just wanted to say this in my own personal opinion. What I think, I don't have any opinion on
the democratic people because I don't know which one of them would be the strongest or most suitable or viable candidate. But I know this for sure because I've been here for some time now and I've been voting for a while. When I see Mr. Tiffany and I think there's a saying that says you can tell a person by the people they are surrounded by.
So I was looking at the people he was surrounded by. And I saw Tommy Thompson and some other old white folks. And I thought to myself that if this man does become the governor here in the state of Wisconsin, and their ultimate goal was to make Wisconsin similar to Mississippi,
with what they already made it a right to work type of state under Scott Walker. And I'm thinking that we should probably take this situation serious with regard to our existence here in this state because what he would do, I think, he would be like the third or forthcoming of Tommy Thompson exponentially raised by
that Scott Walker guy. And I'm thinking that if we don't participate in this, the guy said he's going to do an audit on everything with regard to how the government functions in Madison. And I remember when I think it was Scott Walker, who was the governor under the pandemic, am I wrong?
No, he wasn't the governor during the pandemic. It was Evers. Okay. Evers has been a decent governor, but I'm sure they don't bore him out. He's already, he was already a older person when he was in the governor. So, you know, he's tired of that. And I can understand that. But I think that if we don't pay attention to what is afoot, because we've already been through this,
with Tommy Thompson, and he was a governor when I was in middle school and high school. And I think Tom Doyle was the first person that I was, Mr. Doyle was the first person that I remember voting for that unceded Tommy Thompson. Tommy Thompson was like a president in the state of Wisconsin. Well, Tommy, no, no, no, no, no, no. Tommy Thompson resigned because he became, yeah, he became Secretary of Health.
They had to bribe him to get him out of the governorship. He probably would have been a governor from the time in memoriam. And he was bad for black people that I remember because I remember when I was when I was going to high school, a lot of black people were going to jail. There was a lot of drugs in the inner city. People were getting shot and all types of stuff. And the inner city was collapsed. No black men had a job. They weren't from working.
to selling drugs and smoking drugs and chasing prostitutes. And anyway, on top of this, this is what I wanted to add with that. Our primary failure as a people is this, which is our Achilles heel is Willie Lynch. I would say to any black person who has a youngster, or even if you are elderly black person,
And the way to confirm what I'm saying is that if you think that Willie Lynch is not real, then why are they erasing right before our faces the very history that has been established that is irrefutable? So if you think that Willie Lynch was not a real person and that he did not establish a psychosis that has been imparted upon the psyche of black people,
Then I don't know what word to say to describe your lack of understanding Because it is Willie Lynch for the thinking there are his psychosis that black people suffer from Especially here in America and the reason why you have people on the internet talking about older black people don't like why I heard a white lady called black people why and I was like, what the hell is he talking about? What is a white?
I know what that means now. So that, and then I know what the OG means. I'm like the OG now. I'm not a Y in, but I'm like, they're calling our, our youngsters these things. And our young men, young people, they are embracing it. Like they were embracing the word Sabbath. Sabbath is not a badge of honor. And I'll go again with this. Willie Lynch, who established how to make a slave.
and that it could go in perpetuity, becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. If we don't think that the psychosis of Willie Lynch is real in our community as a people, then ask yourself, why can't we not unify as a people? It's Willie Lynch. All right. Appreciate you.
All right, let me give you an update They're in the tie break. Okay. Oh man Eight eight in the tie break for cocoa golf and much over much over serving And it is what do they say in tennis is level? It's eight eight in the tie break man. They did who they're going at it. So anyway, keeping up with cocoa golf
All right Let me And and Michelle said we should have a segment because my mama said it I don't know if my mama originated it, but I heard it from her, you know, my mama said that some folks can't do wrong, right and Okay You all are well aware of the gifted plane that the nation of Qatar
Gave to the US government basically to Donald Trump and So They they get the plane I even know that they were gonna be trying to use the plane in his Doing his presidency. So they get the plane. All right Allegedly, they had I don't know how much it cost to retrofit this plane to make it Air Force one but
So, you know, Trump flew from DC to North Carolina, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, South Dakota is where Mount Rushmore is on that Katari plane. And he's changed the colors. It's red, white and blue, and it's a Boeing 747. I mean, it's just a luxury. Okay. It's one thing when you find flying in U.S. airspace, right? Well,
when he flew to the NATO summit in Turkey and he ordered the strikes, the renewed strikes on Iran, what they discovered was the plane would not meet the security needs of the President of the United States traveling internationally. So they had to put them back into the regular Air Force One
because people don't realize Air Force One is basically a flying fortress. Everything on there with secure communications, it's built to be able to withstand like a nuclear blast. That's why they're building two new Air Force Ones and it's going to take almost four years to build those planes. But because of security concerns, he ended up having to get back in.
One of the original Air Force ones Okay Here's another little thing little trivia when it comes to Air Force one any plane that the president or any craft that the president is on becomes one like when he flies that Marine helicopter from the White House to Andrews Air Force Base where Air Force one is that is considered Marine one
Did anybody tell him? Or did he listen when they said in order to retrofit that plane? To be able to be because you have all kind of things on I don't feel anybody ever saw Air Force one with Harrison Ford I mean with that plane has they said with this plane you can't refuel it in midair Yeah, so it's
You just can't do wrong, right? So yeah, take it with you tomorrow, Largo. You can have it. So is that why he didn't ride on the Air Force One thing yesterday? He rode on the old plane. Right. Because conceivably the plane could have got shot down. So he was claiming that that plane has missiles. No.
No, they talked about he could even do like secure communications, you know, like as they said that basically the current Air Force ones are not the Nikes. The is like a flying situation room. So they have secure communications, all these things, also the stuff that they can do to retard a an attack. God, you just you can't make this stuff up.
You can't make it up since he had to they had to fly an empty plane Yeah, and what was it? What was the cost of that to taxpayers? Yeah, they had to fly an empty plane to go and get him That's crazy. Okay This is not a final that plane that he got from Qatar that's supposed to go to
to the Donald J. Trump Museum. Yeah. Yeah. After all that retrofitting we did. Yeah. Do. And then it's at the cost to taxpayers. This dude. And at the same time, we're cutting people's ability to be able to get health care. They've cut
the SNAP program, right? You're doing all these cuts, but then you can find money and now turn around. So they want $1.5 trillion for next year's defense budget. I don't know if that dog is going to, that dog's going to hunt. Cause when you, you look at it and then when you look at the tax bill that was passed, just the damage that's being done to people. And you know, Michelle and I was talking about it yesterday where we get a lot of circus, but it ain't no bread.
Okay, and so when when and I don't know what the breaking point is going to be I don't know when people say enough is enough because he's hurting the very people that support him You know I mean so I mean I don't know so yeah I put that on my list of some folks can't do wrong right But then you know you kind of knew because I was surprised that it was even flying in the plane like they had it retrofitted that quickly and Man, yeah, so it's one thing when he's flying in the US
There's another thing when he's flying internationally. Carla, welcome to the program. Hello. How are you doing today, Keith? I didn't hear you. Hello? Yes, sir. Can you hear me? Yep. Oh, I hear you now. I just wanted to make a comment about back when we were in the election, this past election for president, there was stuff going on about the Democratic Party.
what have they done for black people they haven't done anything and you know blacks have been voting democratic for so many you know 20 30 years and haven't gotten anything out of it so i would like to ask what has a republican party done for black people how come that question isn't being asked right now and you know what would be an even more an even better question what has the republican party done to black people
Exactly, you know, so when I can sit up and say well, what is the Republic? What are the Democratic Party do for black people? I would say well, maybe some things because you know you trying to get certain things happen But there have been some things that the Republican Party has directed at black people getting rid of DEI the erasure of history all these things going in firing top-ranked military black and women, you know, I mean
The Republican Party has done, if you just look at their policies, that's what you have to go on, right? Those policies have been more detrimental to black folks than many of the policies that the Democratic Party has put forth. Now look, the Democratic Party did the welfare reform bill back in the day. And so they have to take...
If depending on how you feel about public assistance, the Democratic party would have to take responsibility. That was a Bill Clinton thing where they went in and he did the compromise. So, yeah, but when I look at it, as you say, just across the breadth and scope of it, the government, I mean, yeah, so having said that, I seldom agree with anything that needs says, but it's not just me.
it's a lot of other black people and I know they have a right to uh to their opinion and to follow whatever party you want to follow but but whereas uh you know I just I don't I don't understand what you just saying I think brother Christopher write us some things you know as far as we uh because we have we have right now we have white nationalists in the White House and uh I don't understand how uh
Brother Meach and other people that have a platform like yours on radio and TV, how they can come up with to supporting that party. And I think you and Brother George kind of had some dialogue yesterday about Jim and I guess he, I don't know if he's on the radio, on this station. I don't know if I've listened to him before. And Brother George kind of gave an opinion about how he feels about him.
You disagree with what he said. I think he called him a clown or something like that. Right. Isn't brother George entitled to his opinion? Yeah, but I think I'm not so much. I think to have a disagreement on policy is one thing I think what I don't know if he even knows Will Martin. So, you know, just going on the policy piece of it. I know Will Martin and I can tell you by no stretch of the imagination. He's a clown.
Um, you know, I, again, I will and I disagree on a whole lot when it comes to public policy, but that he ain't that do. And I think that we need to be able to say, even though I disagree with you. Okay. At the same time, I don't demonize you. And I think that that's where we kind of, for me anyway, my father's is not aligned, but for me, it's aligned that we shouldn't cross where I just get personal with the person. And again, I don't even know if George even knows them. So.
You know, that that's the piece of it. I, you know, I can go into your opinion and I can attack your opinion. And then, and then I think Meach's point is a great point that, you know, even as black people, we go hard, you know, we go hard with each other that we don't agree with, you know, and, and, and sometimes it's just now look, there's certain things out there. I will, I could tell you that I would never invite Clarence Thomas to my house for dinner.
I hear that. Can I ask you this before I go? If a person is kind of telling you their opinion on certain things, policy-wise or whatever, doesn't that kind of give you an insight as to who they are? Or you don't agree with that? Yeah, it does. But it doesn't make them awful human being. Well, maybe what George was saying when he said clown just says,
There's a thing that he says. I don't know if that's a guy I listened to before. I think Meach was on the air at one time. I don't know if he had partnered up with Meach at one time. What's his name? I don't know if that's the same guy. But yeah, I used to be really upset with the brother of Meach. They did allow a little dialogue at the time. But maybe he was just, George was referring to
the things that he was saying and how it kind of hurts the community. Maybe I don't know if that's, I can't speak for Joe, but I don't know if that's what he was referring to when he said he was a clown. I don't know. But anyway, I just want to make that comment and observation. So thanks for taking that call. I appreciate it. And y'all have a good day. Thank you, man. Carla, welcome to the program. Good morning. Let me put the radio down. And I want to thank that last caller for saying that because that's exactly what I meant.
So thank you caller. What do you mean that that you meant? What did you meant? About the clown part and you right keep I don't know him personally like I call him a clown talking about I'm talking about his way That's what I'm talking about Keith. I don't know my name George. I guess that's what I'm reacting to because I don't want to move on this point but I reacted to it was not your disagreement
This is how me and you go back and forth. Let me get my thoughts out. All right. Because the dude just explained it to you. So if you didn't understand what he was saying, how am I going to explain it to you? Because he just told you. Okay, George, here's what I have a problem with. George, hold on a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Let's have a block together. Okay. Here's what I have a problem with. I don't have a problem with you disagreeing with Will Martin, Will Martin's political positions. I have a problem with you calling them a clown.
So let me just say this key. Meach don't know me, but when Meach was attacking me, did you ever take up on me? Yes. Yes, I do. I always take up on you in terms of your opinion. What I'm saying is when Meach talked about me on the radio, called me punk and stuff like that, on the radio. I don't remember that. I don't hear a key. I don't remember that.
I don't even remember. I remember because it was a person over me. What I'm saying is, but even then, George, even then, George, if it's personal for you, you can't be the thing that you hate. If me, just say it, or will, or you, or anybody else, if I saw y'all on the side of the road in need of help, keep, I would pull over and help you. Okay. Then he wasn't talking about you. He wasn't talking about you. I ain't that type of dude.
Right. But what I'm saying is, what I reacted to, not that you, and in some ways, I agree with you in your take on some of the things that Will talks about. But that'll make him a clown, because he says something different. Did you hear what the dude just said, Keith? I heard, and I don't agree with him on it. You can't explain that away to me. Well, that's to you, Keith, okay? Well, that's what I'm reacting to. He did his best, and I did my best to try. I mean, there are ways, Keith.
What I would, if I could make a suggestion is go after them for the policy positions and not make it personal. And this is what I'm trying to tell you right now. And me and you had this push. I don't know what it's about. I'm trying to figure it out. You know, somebody told me something, but I ain't even going to get into that. But you know, I'm talking about his ways. Like you said, I don't personally know, you know, but I'm talking about how do you know his ways?
Keith both of us did he just say what comes out of your mouth? Reflected who you are so when you follow in this political opinions religious opinions That's what I'm talking about but then but then say you have a problem with If you don't understand that if we have to keep on going I'm talking about his political ways as clownish not him personally I don't know him like that key and that's what the guy just told you and that's what I'm talking about his
his way of thinking and what he follows. Okay, and then if I can make this suggestion to you and that caller is then destroy the argument that he's making and not destroy him personally. That's what I'm saying. So react to what he's saying and say point by point by point, point by point by point why I disagree.
not getting into you this and you that. No point by point. I disagree with you on school choice and here's why. That's how you have that discussion. When you call a person a clown or you call him out their name, you know, then it turns into something else. You ain't never said anything disparaging about Donald Trump. I've never called him a clown. Keep on to say that. Did you go keep up to have you ever say anything disparaging about Donald Trump?
You gotta think about that. No, because I'm trying to figure out how you're using disparaging I would think that my criticisms of the things that Donald Trump does some might view as being disparaging I don't Okay, okay We've called him the gift that keeps on giving around here's probably the worst. Yeah thing we've said about it And so what you just said
What's the key factor to what you said and that was because I was gonna call into death. I'll leave it alone Leave it alone for the other day. All right, but when I whip up when I would when you say The question is the damage that he's doing to the black community. That's what I just heard you say That's exactly right. And so you can go in and you can go you can show that that's one thing So when you take people like will meet Paris Thomas
Donald Bryant, all these people, this is what I've been trying to tell you for years, a black man, we're at what, 9.7 and unemployment? 300 or something. But that's a policy issue, George. Chief, that's what I'm talking about. All right, let me do this man. Jermaine said, I gotta go. I gotta do two. All right, man, appreciate you. All right.
You're listening to a community voice. We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back. And Coco Goff lost in the tiebreaker 10-8. Yep. Yep, she just lost. She's out. She's out. Quarterfinals. I think that's as far as she's ever gone though at Wimbledon. Yeah. Alright, let's get the call.
No, no. Get the other one. Call the one for the program. Hey, hey, good, good after good morning, man. Somebody called me and said somebody was calling me. Man, don't, don't be, don't let nobody throw you off your square, man. Ain't nobody, ain't nobody going after you, brother. I defended you, man. So you didn't have to call in for that fight. Let the little fight your doubts. Since I did make the call, you know something. Christopher was talking about Tommy Thompson and all of those guys. Right. Tommy Thompson made some poor choices.
But the reason, one reason why Tommy Thompson was able to stay in the power so long, especially, guess what, one over randomly down here in Milwaukee. He did. He did. And I thank you for bringing up that point. There were a lot of black people that supported Tommy Thompson. Well, you got to look at the voting, our voting, the black voting block, man. You had your, you had your, uh, your, the letter Robin said she had a face. You had your Polly Williams with a face.
you had your Michael McGee with the faith. These were faith people, man. And Tommy Thompson failed the community now. And you know something else that Tommy Thompson, when he came back about that truth and sentencing down, made it on a state level that you got to do all your time and whatever. So what not? I thought that was Scott Walker.
No, no, no, no, Tommy Thompson did that, brother. Tommy Thompson started that. And as a matter of fact, Tommy Thompson started our prisoners up here. Remember that? And it was going bad. But you know what Tommy Thompson did, man? He came back to the black community and apologized. You can catch Tommy right now at black events if he's invited. And he can get there. See, the thing is, is that
your party Williams, they understood the game. They knew how to play the game. If it wasn't for party Williams, you wouldn't have kept David Clark in office now on your phones. You'd hear people like that because it's simple fact. They knew how to play the game. So, you know, when I hear people talking and you know, you got to kind of know where this stuff is. It's a game plan. Now, if this switches in the midterms here in November,
Don't think that the Democrats went out and found a whole bunch of more Democrats to overwhelmingly change the action, right? No. White people switch back over. White people use the voting process the way you should be. You're not giving us anything? We're not going to go with the guy's crazy. He's going over where he's going to have us in World War II. They're going to switch over. They know how to play it like that. We like gang bangers.
We like the no snitching move. Whatever, whatever. No, we won't let's not let's not be disparaging the black voters. I think black voters are like white voters. I mean, no, no, they not brother. I think they vote there just like white folks do.
Well, they're not going to switch over. Oh, if that's the case, they were looking at the Republican. Let's just say the Republican Party is not given as a raise in the school for taxes for the next 400 years. So what we're scratching, I hit around around. Is that a dog whistle? Can you give me? Can you give me 400 years?
Give me policies that black people can address that the Republican Party is proffering give me a policy Give me a policy
or policies that the Republican party is offering that would be attracted to black voters. On day one, Tom Tiffany is getting rid of that dog on hike for the next 400 years. That's enough right there. If you don't want to say, is that is that a benefit? The black people ain't got nothing to do with me. Is that a benefit? How is that a benefit? You want to use your vote for that?
How is that a benefit for black people? How's that a benefit for black people, man? I'm asking a question. How is that a benefit for black people, Meets? Hold on, Meets, listen.
I understand that you want to get out to what you want to say. And you don't want to answer the question. Answer the question that he's asking you because you're talking over the question. So just answer the question. Give him a policy that they're running on. OK, and then I asked, wait a minute, Meach. Meach. Meach. Yes. Yes. How does it benefit specifically black people? Brother, look here. You're saying specifically.
But I'm trying to save grandma's house. I don't care who I am. I got to get in to save it. Let me get the next call. Appreciate you, man. I don't understand that, Kat, man. Quit deflecting. He asked the question, how will it benefit? And you just clearly say you don't care. OK, so there is no benefit. So there is no benefit. So why are you tripping that black people ain't voting for Republicans? All right, Carla, welcome to the program. Jesus. Good morning. Good morning. Well, if you're trying to save grandma's house, grandma's grandchildren need to pay the tax.
pay the property taxes and take on a responsibility, and a lot of them don't. Here's the thing. For some people, Donald Trump ain't never catered to blacks. He have always catered to self-hating blacks and niggas. Excuse my French. Those who are looking for a check.
You have some who are fascinated with its white skin and I have heard from certain people that's the white man's money Trump gave me the opportunity to be a man and I said to myself where you was already a man, but then I can't know white man Give an opportunity to a black man to be a man. So the more the story is We have to vote we have to stop being stupid your
Trump even said if I was going to run, I would cater to Republicans because they're stupid. And let's be honest, Mr. Perry, some people like being used. Some people like looking stupid. Just a good old whitey. They don't have to find out. And as we said before, all the people that's laughing all the way to the bank are not European and they're not black. Keep up alive, my brother.
And maybe one day it will come through. But as of now, it ain't nothing he did. But my question I'm going to ask you, Mr. Pierce, why is every time when it comes to them talking to certain black people, they get like the worst of the worst? They don't get like the highly educated. They always get one to look like they have many long, long nights of no sleep. They never get one who can speak logic.
or common sense. And another thing that Trump gets on, he's a massive manipulator. And if you can get those kind of black people who had hard times of life, bring up Christianity. Oh, you know, Jesus said, because you know, Jesus is a butt man for a butt man. And that's how Trump is getting. But he's like, he's like catering to black because, you know, blacks would never eff with him like that. So he has to go K to two of the ones at the low end of the trailer.
who has a bad septic tank and dry rock frame and ball tires and all that stuff. But they'll find out. Have a great day, everybody. I appreciate you. Carla, welcome to the program. Hey, how are you doing? I'm good. How are you? I'm OK. Again, I agree with Al so much. He tells the truth. But I just wanted to tell you this.
And I'm going to hang up. How is it neat to get a secret code to get you done? Because he gets on his phone every time he can call you right back and get you. You got a secret code. You give it to me because I'd be wanting to talk to you and tell you some important stuff. Give me the code, OK? You must have had it. She just got through. I'm waiting to, huh?
Okay, you know George said Since Keith said you can't call people sellouts I don't think I've ever said that and as a matter of fact I suggest and I told people one of my favorite books is in my top 13 books is Randall Kennedy's book sell out I think you should read that book because
It and and Randall Kennedy is kind of a middle-of-the-road African-American scholar, but you know The name calling becomes a real problem, you know, and I think that once it gets to that We should be able you should be able to make an argument based on like when I asked Meach Give me a policy that the Republican Party is
proffering that black people would say, hey, you know, that's going to help me. Then tell me what the policy is. You know, we can get into all the personal things, but I do believe is the other thing too. Black voters are not different than white voters in there. You're voting your own interests. Now I could.
disagree with what your interests might be, but people are voting their interests. That's the most, that's what makes voting personal, that there's something out there. If you're an issue, there are people out there voting on the issues around trans. They said in their interest that trans athletes do not compete in, primarily male trans, in women's sports.
Good you can agree with somebody you can disagree with somebody My issue is that when it gets personal and we do and then it's something that that Christopher said where he says, you know, how do we come together where part of that is learning how to disagree? Without trying to destroy the other person because you feel you so right because you could be dead right and and so this idea and that's all I'm saying to people I'm not saying that you should embrace the way Phil here's the other thing
I learned a long time ago that people out there are a lot smarter than I am. And people are not as malleable as we want to give the impression. If I got it, maybe somebody else got it too. And so kind of this whole idea that if you disagree with me, then you ain't blank. That's crazy. And I think that's more destructive to the black community because that's what we're doing. We can disagree. And now.
Person gets into some collaboration and some other things. Okay, we have that conversation But to sit up and have a different policy position than me and then here's the other thing the First Amendment guarantees that freedom of speech Whether I agree with it or not and I'm gonna defend your right for freedom of speech and Hopefully you will defend mine. Call her welcome to the program Good morning
Hey, this is my first time listening to you guys this morning. And some interesting stuff has come up that I'm directly, I was like, oh, wow, I learned something today. But the problem that I have is the control. You don't have any control on what people are speaking. You're speaking, they're speaking, and it becomes confusing. So my thing is, brother, like I said, I learned something this morning. I want to continue to listen to your joke, but you have to have to control somewhere.
You can be talking over somebody else, but somebody can be talking over you. That's confusing. That means you have no control. And I'm hearing this and I'm like, the people will tune out because there's no controls. Can you comment on that? I will take control, brother. Thank you for the suggestion. Appreciate you. You're welcome to the program. And that would be don't say no. You're going to take the, you're going to take, I know it's your show. You're going to take the steering wheel. Call a welcome to the program.
What's happening, brother? What happened to that match and that debate off? I got to set it up. Yeah, you got to set that up. For that match, I'm still going for DJ Rideout match, too, with the basketball. He running, he's scared. Y'all be setting these matches up and don't even come through with it. Yeah, he's scared. Well, we're doing it for health reasons.
We got some insurance liability issues, you know. They gotta do it off clock. It's a probably only insurance car. Okay, George did point out, I did use the id word in my response to Clarence Thomas evoking lynching. I did. So I apologize for that.
Now, again, you know how I feel about the word. I'm just doing it in terms of how we would react. You know, I use this example and call it just be patient with me. I use this example when Jesus was on the cross and he had the two thieves.
you know two criminals on inside of them and the one thief was really questioning his his divinity you god why don't you save us da da da da da da da da and then the other person reacted to him and in the sermon I said his reaction was he will please
Right, so I should have said Negro, please as opposed to but you know, we that's our expression when we get really frustrated with someone that looks like us and you know, we just trying to so I apologize for using the N word in that I should have said Negro, please when I was referring to Clarence Thomas's rebuttal and defense doing his confirmation hearing Caller welcome to the program
Good morning. Oh, and uh, what do you think about yoked into his uh, 453 million dollar contract he finished on. Oh my god. Amen. He might be looking at Bobby Bonilla. I didn't do Bobby Bonilla day on July 1st. So, so happy belated Bobby Bonilla day. Anybody know Bobby Bonilla played with the Nets? He signed this contract and deferred money.
And he's going to get paid until 2030 something, a million dollars every July first. That's a good move. You know what, man, is what the market bears. If that's what they pay in, folks, I remember that year that they did the OCBA was expiring, and my colleague got $153 million.
But you'll get just worth the money. I mean, it's not like I don't know but he already had his he was at his peak of time Say that again. He was at his peak of time. He don't have his peak of time no more. That's gone He had a what so his peak his peak. Oh, yeah time Well, that's the issue right now with with LeBron

I was named Middleton. He's going to the Wizards Yep, I saw that he was when he with the Clippers and now he's back. No, he was with Dallas too. Was it okay?
Well, then the books just get a Leverg from Detroit Yeah, yeah, I like Harris Leverg that I like his game All right, so all right now well, what a very interesting program today. What a will Martin Can you read this comment right here that I have like right there? Which one that one? So true intelligence. Yeah, I see that. I don't know if we'll want to read it
He read it, trust me. Some would argue on the other side that there's propaganda coming from the other teams. So it's all part of, that's the political messaging. It is called the marketplace of ideas. And hopefully you're able to get out and be able to market your ideas and make a compelling argument for your idea. Because just because I'm saying it, obviously,
I'm saying things and I'm not getting over. I'm not changing people. I'm not persuading them. So anyway, so let me thank everybody for being part of the program. You've got a star player on your team, man. Who that? It said, uh, Meach. Yeah, Meach is your star player. And man, Meach is good for my ratings.
