My my woes my troubles aside. I will talk about definitely how CBC went but let me say good morning to the bros in the building. What's up, Solis? What's up, Ryder? How you doing this morning, sir? I don't know a Great weekend. I'm doing pretty good. It's what made it great. I heard it was raining here all weekend It was it was it was real gloomy, but that's what made it great

Wow, what did you do? It was that type of weather. You can just chill and just watch Perry Mason. Perry Mason. Yeah, it was like one of them days. Mall Park. Yeah. Perry Mason. Perry Mason in the...

and the meat channel just all day. It was just real gloomy, you know, raining. Well, I know when I flew back in, because I flew back in yesterday, I was supposed to get in at eight o'clock in the morning, they diverted our plane to Minneapolis. Really? And we sat over there for a couple of hours before they, because whatever was going on with the weather. Oh, here you're not on the ground. But you know, because when I talked to people, they was like, it wasn't bad. They couldn't understand why I got diverted. But I was like,

Yeah, we hit a certain patch in the sky. And I was like, nah, we ain't go to Wisconsin. So I felt like we were descending. And then I felt the plane come back up. And you took about another 15 minutes in the policy. Yeah, we're going to Minneapolis because it became we can't go to Wisconsin right now. It was weather related. So we had to go and park and sit in Minneapolis for a little bit before to clear up. And then we came on back. Yeah, we had crazy weather. Yeah, man. It was it was.

And it was cold. It was raining and cold. And it felt like homecoming also. I guess it was homecoming. That's how it felt. But it's so funny. Homecoming here, because right down south. It's warm. Yeah, man. Homecoming. You flexing in your gear for homecoming. So my brother just called me. He asked me, was he going to Magic City Classic this year? Oh, yeah. I was going to say that I was going to A&M. Yeah. Legion Field. So I told him, get them tickets. Get them tickets.

Uh, McClark, how you doing, bruh? Who you with? Man, the dentist. I need to be with nobody but the dentist. How was your weekend, bruh? We got pretty good. Did you do some? Not really. It was raining and wet. They had the, uh, the bikers had the, uh, picnic, uh, annual picnic. They still had it, but I couldn't make it. Okay. Okay. Well, I have fun just with this. So it just couldn't really do nothing. Just

That's why people took it easy though. Like you said, sometimes it'll be the best week. Yeah, very Mason days. I don't know about Perry Mason, but I messed around last night and started watching the Lizzie Borden. Are you familiar with Lizzie Borden's story? What's the nursery rhyme? Hang on.

Good morning to the folks that's on Facebook. I see y'all checking in this morning YouTube what's happening family of course everybody that is You know joining us on regular radio

What's going on? Somebody said, was I in DC fighting Magga? Don't you take that side down? Look, I didn't even mess around this time. I was just like, no, you like I said, I was I was confined over by the convention. And because I stay right across the street from the convention, I didn't even have to mess around over by, you know, the White House and all of that. Like I usually would. But

The thing I was saying about this, this doc, I mean, it's this. Well, I think it was like eight part series things. I binge watched the whole thing. So I'm also sleepy this morning. Lizzie Borden took an ax and gave her mother 40 wax when she saw what she had done. She gave her father 41. Have you all ever heard that? I remember that. I remember that. But I think I remember that. Yeah. So Lizzie Borden.

killed her her stepmother and her dad With access and she was able to get off Because she told him she knew it but but like her sister nearby knew like no you did it But then they combined it with the modern-day story of this What's that lady's name? Yeah, no not no not the lady who killed her children, but this is another lady who was infatuated with Lizzie board

but she talked about how women get treated and you know men particularly of a certain day you know they can have the women any kind of way talk to women any kind of way uh so I ended up watching that last night and when I say some of that mess was crazy mm-hmm based on the true story yeah oh for sure yeah for sure um I just was like oh no I um

I can't. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. But look, a number of things to get into, but I want to take a second and just say that, yeah, I was out in DC. I went out for Congressional Black Caucus. And Eileen, thank you. I couldn't remember her name. Thank you. Because she got executed for killing men. So they interwoven those stories. It was deep.

It was deep. It was super, super deep. And then we found out you're going to actually go to the Lizzie Boardhouse on museum tours and stay overnight in there. And that museum is open to midnight. Why would you be in the Murderer House to midnight? No, sir. Because people are crazy. People are crazy.

No, I'm still what you call afraid that's clear folks though. Yeah You say that way, I feel like that's some white folks not I tell y'all I'll play them kind of games. That's that's some white folks not I'm not staying in no murderous house The museum museum tour me like people wanted to take bricks from Jeffrey

diamond's building when it came down. Yeah, that's what they had to hurry up and get that building down until that building down and even during the deconstruction of the building.

People was over there grabbing bricks. So much. They want a history in it. You gonna put in your house. This brick is from the building. But Jeffery down like, man, what is wrong with you? Wait. So, so people wanted. Yeah. People got memorabilia. Yeah. Yeah. People do that man. Yeah. People like people. It don't be us. I hear collecting that foolishness. I'm telling you, I was literally creeped out. Why would you want? Why would you want any of that? Why would I go to the murder house? Why would I go?

They're like, and there's like this one tour, you can tour every room. Because when I say, because her father was a, he sold the caskets and he had like this crazy axe collection. And so she had been around this stuff her whole life. When I say she, she hit her mother, her stepmother in the face 40 times. With an axe? With an axe.

And they brought the actual skulls to the to the trial and put the skulls on the table But it was crazy because now this brings me to the modern-day situation. I'm sorry y'all. I'm eating breakfast. I'm sorry I Know this wasn't really, you know, I didn't ease y'all into it I should have gave y'all some some some warning and I apologize if you got the kids in the car I didn't ease you into it and I apologize But this brought me to the whole Lindsey Clancy

decision because the jury, which was all men back in Lizzie Borden's trial, this late 1800s, they decided as soon as they walked in the jury room that she hadn't done it. They was just in there chilling. Well, we're going to wait an hour and then we're going to go out and say she didn't do it because they didn't believe that a woman had the 42

you know, the mental capacity to be able to actually, you know, hit somebody 40 times with an axe and then her dad put up a fight. And so they just didn't believe it. And so they literally just said, OK, well, we'll kill time to make it look good. And then we'll go out and give our verdict. And so she got off. And when you think about what just went on with the jury in the Lindsey Clancy case, which ends in a mistrial on September 4th.

You know, the verdict, the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict. It was 11 to one. And we all know now that the one person who didn't believe it was a brother, that it was a black man, that the jury, you know, they, none of them wanted to convict her. They didn't think she did it. And the whole doubt jury, he said he had no doubt.

That she killed him kid. She knew what she was doing and you know So that's how it ends up in a mist trial because that was getting rid of her off Go ahead. Yeah. No, I was gonna say and it's mighty strange how They tried to force him into Signing with them. Yep, but then to go on this national media tour and talk about well

It was it was one guy, you know, he was black and you know, this and that. So now he's getting death threats and all that stuff. Yeah. Now, now if he respond to the death threats, then he wrong. But you can't get mad at me because I because I believe she knew what she was doing. I'm with him. I believe I still believe she knew what she was doing. You know, not to mention they make the point that there was an African American woman five years earlier who had killed her children.

And she claimed basically the same kind of scenario. That woman got life in prison. You know, nobody saw that it might have been a mental health issue with the sister. And, you know, because and I went back to the Lizzie born situation. No black woman would have got off with that. Never never would have got off with that. And so and I just find it so crazy.

Because somebody else was talking about this too. We know the names of all of these white women that have committed these kinds of crazy crimes. Susan Smith, if you have a certain age, everybody knows who Susan Smith is. You drowned your kids, and then you claimed that a black man did it. We can name them, but you don't know the names of none of these black women.

Name name the high profile names of black women who kill their children Because of mental health issues or at least that was there, you know their claim for defense who will name them Go ahead. I'm waiting on y'all Run them off, but you can run off white woman name after white. We same thing with missing women You can run off white woman name after white woman name on who was missing high profile kidnapping cases. You can't never do that with sisters hardly

You can't ever really do that with sisters and so the disparate inequitable treatment And like you said them trying to put the spotlight on this black man to put him in harm's way and but I I love it in the brother because he was like no The the prosecution put on a good case. There was evidence. There was witnesses

She knew what she was doing. No, he didn't want to hear it. And so it was it was crazy then that these jurors walk out of the jury room and then try to get this man, you know, because when do you start naming people? They'll be like, we had a holdout. They won't ever tell you who the holdout was just because of jury safety. We had a holdout. No, they single him out. Go ahead. Even if the woman was innocent, which she's not.

But even if the woman was innocent, I can see that black man like, you know what? I hold the vote in my hands. And like, you know, what was the cat that went up and did the thumbs down to the? Oh, John McCain. Yeah. That's what it kind of. That's why a lot of times they don't want us on the jury. Exactly. Because they know that because they're in our hands. Yeah, they scare. So are they here for us to be on exactly. So they see the what it's like when we have power. So you got.

I think they set it up like that because they thought, OK, well, he's going to be the black guy that's going to go along with all these white people because he was the only black guy. And they did try to pressure him. Yeah. So you know what I'm saying? So you got all of these white guys, all these white people that's on the jury. And then you got one black guy that they like, well, you know, we can pressure him into following us because he, you know, he he don't know no better. But for him to stand strong.

and say, hey, this is what I believe. And my belief counts. And I'm going to show y'all. That's why serving under the juries is important. And I will just quickly say this. So while I'm there at Congressional Black Caucus this weekend, there was this poignant moment when Ben Crump, I went to two sessions that Ben Crump was at. The first one was with Jasmine Crockett and the sister from the Fearless Fund.

And hang on, because I always forget her name. What's her name? What's her name? Arianne. That name always throws me. Arianne Simone. The Fearless Fund was the venture capitalist organization that was founded by Black women, one woman in particular.

Erin Simone and then she had a co-founding partner Ayanna Parsons and they raised This massive amount of money to be able to help black women who were starting their own businesses Because what they found is that many of these you know venture fund capitalists less than 1% Like not even a half a percent

of not a half of 1% of venture capitalist money went to black women's startup businesses. And so, you know, everybody tell you, pull yourself up, buy your bootstraps, you know, help your own people, help yourself. These sisters and Arian told the story of when I went to the bank, I opened up the bank account with $100. And I told the person who opened the account, she said, this account is gonna be full of money. Just watch what I tell you.

because we get ready to go out here and raise this money to be able to help black business owners, black female business owners. She did that. And ultimately was sued by a white man because he said that she was discriminating against white business owners. So she had to go to court and you'll spend crazy money fighting this white guy who, you know,

This is exactly I raised money to give it to because anybody going to sue the white venture capitalists saying you're discriminating and won't give money to black businesses. So yeah, so this was in um 2024 but it started in 2023 and yep they said that she was violating the Civil Rights Act of 1866. So this white boy went back and grabbed

a law that was intended to protect black people and turned it around and use it against this sister and the fearless fund to be able to say that they were discriminating. So I was on a panel with her, she has a new book out called Fearless Freedom. And it is an incredible book, talked about that. So that was one amazing panel.

But Ben Crump also did another panel, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, who was retiring. That's the black woman who always has a hat song from Texas. I always got them cowboy hats on. Frederica Wilson, she has this 500, I mean, I'm sorry, 5,000 mentor volunteer program for young black men and boys. And she...

had a panel in which Trevon Martin's parents were there or Sabrina Martin was there. No, Nolan Wells, mom and dad were there. This young brother, some of y'all may not remember this young man's name, King

And I said, Frederica Wilson is from Florida, my bad. But King Carter, King Carter was killed in a crossfire shootout by black folks when he was six years old. His dad said he would have been 17 had he lived this year. So his parents were dear.

And then Lucy Macbeth, whose son, Jordan Davis, was a young boy that was in the backseat of a car with his friends when they went to the gas station. And they were listening to music and the white guy pumping his gas told him to turn it down. And, you know, the kids was looking at him crazy like, A, it's not super loud, but B, we don't have to turn our music down for you. And he shot into the car and he ended up killing Lucy Macbeth. So.

So you had these four sets of parents on the stage who all were there because their kids had been killed by gun violence. And in three of the cases had been killed by white folks. Mike Brown's dad was also there, you know, kind of walking around. So that was a very poignant moment. But what was cool is that there were 150 young black and brown

young men, high school age, all dressed in black suits, these beautiful red ties, and they had come in from New York, Florida, and Cali. And there was this moment, and they all sat together in this one section. They walked in together. It was really, really powerful. But there was this moment when King Carter's father, the six-year-old who had been killed,

You know, like 11 years ago when his father said to the young brothers, he said, how many of y'all are 17? And number of raising hands. He said King would have been 17 this year. He would have been out there with y'all. And one of the kids, it was just like crazy because it was, you know, it was quiet. And one of the kids yelled out, he is here. He's with us. We are him.

And the father, I thought the father was going to just be gone. I mean, he thanked the young brother. He said, thank you so much for saying that, bro. But it was just this really, really powerful moment. But that we had to be in a room. So think about that. So we can't tell you the names of women that have been victims of crimes, but we got a laundry list of.

you know, people that have died in this way. And so it was just this very whole surreal moment that as a community that we got a room like this, you know, and then of course you could do that in the white community with Sandy Hook and, you know, all these crazy school shootings kind of thing.

But it's not like those kids were killed because of race. They was killed because people were mentally unstable. In this situation of scenario, most of these kids, with the exception of King Carter, you're killed because of racism. You kill because of hatred.

So that was that was crazy. Let me do this. Let me take a break. Two other things I want to mention from Congressional Black Caucus and then we'll get into the stories of the day. Obviously, people are waiting to talk about this whole thing with Trump ban in the media from the White House. Trump saying now that the arch is going to be another military installation, if you will. And then just, you know,

Kudos to Congresswoman Joyce Beatty who smacked the fire out of Donald Trump recently on a phone call. We'll be back. We'll talk about it on the other side.

Alright family, welcome back to the show. So a couple of things that I wanted to mention to again about my time at CBC. I did not get to attend the sessions that were done by Congresswoman Gwynne Moore. Because she did sessions that dealt a lot with youth. And you know, that's one of her lanes. The things that I'm working on right now, which center around civil rights.

So I was just at different sessions, but I know a number of people were there from Milwaukee that were in Congress, one or more sessions, but I went to a couple of sessions, one Cory Booker session, which was interesting because they talked about, and I thought about Keith a lot when I was in this session, they talked about the rate of black suicide amongst young people and folks in our community. Some of the numbers that

Congressman Booker's session revealed were staggering when they talked about that the black suicide rate had risen by as much as 25%. Ages 25 to 44 and 16 to 29 among young black men had increased significantly. In fact, they found that there were more black men dying of suicide between the ages of 16 and 29 than their white male counterparts, which was

crazy. So I got a lot of good information about that because as we've been talking about all these lynchings that we've been seeing around the country and trying to make some correlations to how much of that is actually attributable to us in terms of suicide. But I'm going to tell you one of the sessions that I absolutely adored being in, but it was also very revealing. I went to Congresswoman

Wait, who did I forgot who did this section? Oh, Congressman Carter out of Louisiana and I Went to this session and This was this the session. Yeah, I think yeah Ben Vereen was at this session and a panelist on the stage Alex Haley's family members were in the audience at this session and were featured

They were talking about the 50th anniversary of roots. So first of all, let that sink in for a second. 50th anniversary of roots and. Listen to Ben Vereen, who is aging gracefully, but at some point I feel like I wouldn't have been able to tell that that was Ben Vereen.

because he just his age kind of different, but roots originally aired in 1977. Okay. January 23rd to January 30th. Ben Vereen, whose character was chicken George. And Ben Vereen talked about how, you know, when it.

was being cast because remember it was folks like OJ Simpson in Roots. It was so many names in this production. It was crazy. But he talked about when it was being cast, how he wanted to try to get in and they were selling them like, look, bro, you are a song and dance man. This is not that kind of production. Ultimately, somebody saw him and they immediately wanted to cast him as Chicken George. But he also talked about the fact that at the time that Roots was premiering.

Rich man poor man. If you remember that little like this is like our first little, you know, mini series was on national networks and it was, you know, it was killing everybody in the ratings. OK, rich man, poor man, killing everybody. So one of the networks trying to deal with these ratings and, you know, how everything was going, they decided that they would.

throw roots on. They had had roots for a while, but had moved on it. So, they were like, look, we're already getting killed in ratings, Rich Man Poor Men, everybody watching this miniseries, which had started actually the year before in 76. Let's just throw roots on. We'll shut, you know, black folks up because we've been sitting on this project for a minute and had no idea

that 140 million people would watch roots over the course of those eight days. To put it in perspective, last year, it was reported that 125 million people watched the Super Bowl. So you think about in 77, you got 140 million people who tune in to watch. So it becomes epic. I mean, it makes the network.

Mad money, it becomes epic. The thing that was interesting as I sat there. There were a group of because it was when I first sat down, there was only one person in front of me and a young brother in his 30s, early 30s. Then he was joined by two sisters. Look like they were in their 30s, too. The people that were like on the side of me behind me, they were older.

like in their fifties, maybe sixties. The thing that stood out for me is how while Ben Vereen was talking, these people in these thirties was running their mouth through the whole thing and laughing and chuckling. You know, they were talking, they own private stories and you could see the discomfort of the folks that were older because this basically was tantamount to disrespect because if you understood what roots meant to the black community,

And one of the first things I thought was, I wonder, have they ever seen it? And then I thought about myself. I've never made my son sit down and watch roots. Never. I got the collector's item book set. I mean, the collector's item book, the collector's item DVD set. I got all of the stuff. But as a family, I've never made my son

Sit down and watch roots and I know my son has never made my grandson yet sit down and watch roots the movie and none of that stuff is in his house The likelihood that Atlas will ever watch roots because my son made him sit down and watch it is probably slim to none and that's when One of those things hit me about how we do not pass along our history One thing is because it's painful It's painful

to see ourselves beaten and depicted with chains around our necks and sleeping the way we were sleeping and understand that people were being, you know, sexually assaulted and raped and, you know, the way we were dying and fed and mistreated. It's a lot of stuff I don't watch because the subject matter hits too close to home. But I also then realized that I'm not

legitimately passing a lot of that history down to our children. So when our children are not respectful of the culture, when our children are not respectful and conduct themselves out here, like I said, our kids don't know the assignment, it's because we haven't connected them to the assignment. They don't necessarily fully visualize and understand some of the stuff that our folks went through.

and how many of us are actually talking about it in our house? We are not transferring some of this history, particularly in a way that's visual. We may talk about it orally. You know, February provides an opportunity to bring up slavery, but on a longer, and the more I thought about it, I was like, I did. Now,

You know, my son had the benefit of all the other black stuff that I do in my house. And, you know, so he got connected in that way. But there was still a disconnect when I had to think about what I deliberately did to make sure that my son understood black history. He benefited just because of the fact that I'm a black history. You know, that's my undergraduate degree. But deliberate. Deliberate.

Yeah. And so that was the thing I walked out of that room with, you know, and the 30 year olds, they got tapped on their shoulder, you know, so that they could be remind. I mean, they could be told like right now, what you're doing is disrespectful. Because you don't even understand the weight of this conversation and it's showing in your ignorance, sitting up in here, chuckling and kicking and he he in in the midst of this moment. But that's on us y'all. How many of you.

after watching Roots the first time yourself, have ever came back and made your family, your grandchildren sit down and watch it, your children sit down and watch it. Many of us have never done that. Again, it is painful, but you know, just like when they talk about, you know, other communities, Jewish community, never forget, people make sure you understand that pain because I move differently because I'm aware of that pain.

Just like when people say when you don't work for the money, you don't appreciate the money. When you haven't had to literally be connected to the pain and suffering that black people experience when they were brought to this country, you don't feel a responsibility to it. You don't care about the assignment, Michelle, because you don't understand the weight of it. So the one thing

I'm just gonna put out there and I hope people listen and you know make an honest assessment about it in their own situation To go back and bring that movie back out and Sit down and watch that and walk your kids and your grandkids through that because I'm telling you think about what roots did for us that when we saw it

and how we thought about culture and how we thought about race and how we thought about our people. Just think about it. So I gotta take a break, but when I tell you that that was one of the real moments when you gotta like man up and admit, you know, your own shortcomings for as black as I am and I love black people and I know that on some things I dropped a ball and passing down some of that education to my son. I'll be right back.

All right, y'all, welcome back to the show. Somebody said eyes on the prize documentary, too. I mean, certainly. And I think eyes on the prize. For me, it's a little bit easier to watch than roots because that naked, you know. Brutalization in terms of your living conditions and seeing people with chains on their necks and the whip lashes. It's a lot, man. It's a lot.

to deal with it. I'm the first one to acknowledge it, but I'm just saying we gotta do better. At least you gotta do better than me. Let me say that because some of y'all are already doing it. Do better than me. Be very deliberate in educating our children and they gotta get the good bad and the ugly and we try to shield our kids. We try to, you know, life is gonna be better for you than it was for me, but you always gotta understand

where you came from. You always got to understand that all of these these newfound wins and successes are built on the backs of other people who survived all of this so you could. Like we say all the time, there were people fighting who knew they weren't going to be the beneficiary of the victory. But I'm making sure my grandson or the black folks that come behind me don't have to go through what I went through.

So, let me shift gears for a second. I want to acknowledge the passing of Minister Lewis Farrakhan's daughter, Sister Betty Jean Farrakhan. She is the oldest daughter of Minister Lewis Farrakhan and we know that Minister Farrakhan lost his wife in June and now he has lost his eldest daughter. One of the things that a number of people have talked about was that her connection to agriculture.

and how she actually ended up doing a lot. Receiving actually their first farmer of the year honor because of the work that she was doing in New Buffalo, Michigan, encouraging young people to pursue careers in agriculture and organizing the nation's first Michigan farm agricultural workshops. So it became, ultimately became a big part of her legacy.

in terms of the awards and the work that she was doing, but making sure that we understood our connection to the soil and how we have benefited. So it's got to be tough right now. Excuse me. On the minister's family there, you know, like I said, there's just coming off there, his wife dying at the age of 90 back in June. There were seven children.

in total. And so I think Betsy is now the first of their children to pass away. So just so folks know that that has happened and I don't know what, you know, any services or any of that stuff is yet because this was just now. So I want to make sure we stop and not a respect to this sister who has passed. All right. So let me go ahead and talk about

the thing that has been on the lips of a lot of people, particularly people that watch, you know, news, current affairs, they keep up with what's going on in terms of local affairs, state affairs, and we rely on the media outlets to get our information. Yes, social media is great.

You know, there are so many things. Jermaine had shown me at least three stories just this morning. You know, Michelle, did you hear about the Hispanic folks over Illinois who did work on this guy's house? I mean, on his fence, they built a fence for him. And there was a dispute about the pay. And so this white guy said, paying these Mexicans the money for their fence work, he called ICE.

You know, he was like, I'm gonna call the police to call ICE. They was like, call him. Because they had, they paperwork in order. And when everybody came and the authorities left, because they was all legit, what did the, I mean, what did the Mexicans do? Take the fist. Amen. I'll get me back my stuff, man. They took the fist down. I'll take it back.

Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, but just think about that. It's a pay dispute. Yeah. He had paid a portion of it, but didn't want to pay them to balance. And then instead of paying these people, you tell them, I'm calling ice on y'all. Yeah. Yeah. This dude said, don't think twice, call ice. This cat called ice. I don't know how the commercial goes. Don't think twice.

I said, uh, how do you say, uh, take back. And then, you know, so that comes by way of social media. Okay. I take back. Um, but.

You don't ever get to not pay attention to the CNNs and the MS now and Politico because these people's resources are vast They got folks stationed all around the world to be able to bring us information So a lot of people you know looking real sideways at Donald Trump Who has decided that he does not like the coverage that he receives from these media outlets? He believes it's too negative

and he is going to block them from coming into the White House. So, he literally, folks were talking about they went to go use their press passes to access the White House and CNN, MSNOW, Politico, and there were two other organizations that are not being mentioned as much, but I gotta find the names of those two, but they literally

There the guards took their press credentials their their their White House access cards. They took them from them They showed up to go to work because their beat is the White House You are in the press pool in the White House and they literally took

their cards from them so that they could no longer access the White House. So you know a lawsuit is coming. And I was irritated this weekend, listening to CNN, trying to run through a public defense of, see, we covered him positively here. See, we talked, you ain't gonna do all of that. Take this, take his behind the court. You ain't gonna do all of that.

I'm not getting ready to be trying to make the public case. Anybody that watches these outlets, they know exactly what you're doing. So who are you selling? Who are you selling? But one of the things that I posted when this first broke while I was in DC, where's Foxat? I was just about to ask that because I know it has been a period of time and that they have had some people on there that actually pushed back against this whole

Trump administration and have said certain stuff on Fox, but he's not once that he mentioned Fox and he don't like the coverage. So that means that if I'm not kissing your tail, if I'm not telling you, yes, sir, you are the greatest thing ever. You don't want me around. And the other aspect of that is this is about First Amendment rights, the right to free speech. And so the good folks at Fox.

What if this went the other way? That part and a Democrat was sitting in the White House and decided we don't want any conservative leaning media to have access to the White House. This is the one time. Fox News needed to show up and other conservative outlets needed to show up because the pendulum always swings back the other way. It is going to. And so I can't sit back and watch people be mistreated or messed over because you don't like what I'm saying.

Not in, you know, and then had the nerve to say, this is the people's house. That's what Trump had the nerve to say. Well, at first he said, I don't want him in mind. Then he caught himself and he said people. Yeah, but it's just like I gotta take a break. But everybody that's watching this and then I got into it online with some white woman talking about what he does have the right. No, ma'am, he doesn't have the right because it's open to the public media.

You don't get to decide that I don't like what you're saying about me, so I don't have to let you come in. That's not how this works. And you're so ridiculously uninformed and undereducated about the process. But again, Mr. Tough Guy, he can dish it, but he cannot take it. He talks about people and calls people out their name all day long.

And so to have this white woman up here crying about Donald Trump, when he calling female reporters piggies and being disrespectful, it just blew my mind that I was even going back and forth with this woman on this whole issue. But we've had another president who attempted to do this. I'll talk about it on the other side of the break. I'll be right back.

All right, family, welcome back to the show. So before we went to the break, we were talking about this whole thing with Donald Trump banning MSNOW, CNN, Politico and two other, I think they're magazine outlets from the White House because he didn't like the coverage. And I said that I would mention the fact that there have been other presidents that have tried to do something similar. John Adams, President John Adams back in 1798, his federalist administration used the Alien and Sedition Acts

to arrest and prosecute editors of opposition Democratic Republican newspapers. Abraham Lincoln, military commanders under his administration occasionally suspended or seized printing presses of newspapers that published criticisms of the Union War effort. Lincoln typically rescinded these orders or allowed the publication to resume after a brief cooling off period. But you saying something bad about the Union War?

I mean, about the Union War effort we take in your printing press. Woodrow Wilson, World War I signed this edition act of 1918 to broadly criminalize disloyal or abusive language about the U.S. government and war policies, leading to the suppression of various anti-war publications. So this is not new, but that's why people have relied heavily on the First Amendment to be able to protect

these rights. Just as a quick reminder, the First Amendment guarantees five core freedoms. Freedom of religion, speech, the press, peaceful assembly, and the right to petition the government. Now, under freedom of speech, allowing individuals to express themselves, share ideas, criticize the government without government censorship or punishment. Freedom of the press,

gives news organizations and individuals the right to publish and share information, news, and opinions. And so what Donald Trump, Mr. Thinskin, can't handle is somebody getting back at him or... I'm sorry. Hold on. But somebody, you know, saying something to him that he finds unfavorable or about him that he finds unfavorable. But let me play this in color. I see you. I'm coming.

Let me see if I can play this real quick. Hang on, I'm sick. Okay, I'm ready to go.

because I will not get in the mud with some. So that was Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, who by all accounts is the rock star to hear right now for being someone who has directly taken on Trump in terms of the Kennedy Center naming. She was at the win with Black Women Reception.

that was held a couple of days ago and she was talking about the fact that she was on that call. I mentioned that before. I left town that she was on this call with the board of directors for the Kennedy Center and Donald Trump began to berate her in this meeting. He called her dumb. He called her garbage. He said that she was incompetent. I mean, like, and to her credit, she didn't allow it to stay. She called him ignorant.

She talked to me. He was bragging about, oh, I've done all of this for the economy. She said, yeah, but you don't file bank bankruptcy more than anybody else in his room. She pushed back. But there is no public, you know, berating or chastising of Donald Trump for talking to other people like this. There's nothing.

And then you got a Steve Scalise and Republican lackeys who went out in front of the media. Well, he's one of the most accessible presidents to the media ever and he's because he a media hoe. That's why he always got like he got to be in coverage. The one thing that so many people were dreading about this man getting back in the office is that she was going to be in front of the cameras every day. Doing is saying something ignorant and stupid every day.

a freaking embarrassment internationally, a global embarrassment, but every the all the other stories that won't get covered because you sucking up air time with stupidness. So, the other thing that I will quickly say is that for MS now, for CNN, who

When Donald Trump got back in the office, you began to see some of these news outlets trying to change the way they did coverage, trying to, to me, appease Donald Trump. Like, I don't watch MS now. The old MSNBC, I don't even watch it. Unless y'all tell me what's going on, or my brother sent me a clip, or I just happened to see some on social media.

From an interview, I don't turn it on because I began to watch what seemed like to me was a bunch of adjusting to Trump and cowtowing. And this is what I will tell people and I will take it to my grave. The minute you start trying to bend your knees and your back to accommodate a tyrant.

to accommodate somebody who is wielding undue power and influence over you is the minute you began to fail. If you didn't think what you were doing was wrong, that's like all these companies jumping off the diversity, equity and inclusion boat because proactively in some cases because you don't want to smoke from Donald Trump, then that may.

You weren't about DEI in the first place. You, you know, I'm not getting ready to change who I am because you don't like it. I'm not getting ready to do that. And, you know, a number of people talked about, you know, somebody sent me something, one of my son sent me some this morning talking about, you know, black press. A lot of these black folks in the media have had to go and create their own platforms. Roland Martin being one of the longest.

Because of being pushed out by the major networks And and I and I'm all I'm here for I understand that piece But it's some stuff. I'm also gonna say like some of y'all one showing up while y'all had a major network job You was real janky acting while you had a major network job And then you get pushed out and now we are supposed to rally around you. I ain't coming for everybody Because if you the mess with me then don't mess with me now

You know, Black folks got a real propensity for, you know, taking folks back into the fold who when they was on top, they had them forced. What's that thing Mike say? Back then, if you want me, now I'm hot, you all want me. That's all I'm saying. So I still don't mess with everybody because I knew how you acted when you was on major networks.

Let me go to the phone line. Hey, Caller, what's happening? Hey, hello, hello, Michelle. What's going on, Brad? Boy, boy, boy. If I, if, if I just didn't, uh-huh, isn't that man, if I took up the rest of your show, and I don't want to do that. I know, I know. A lot, a lot of other people want to call. So let me make you two states a short sweep. First, look at the real pointy. Look at the last three letters of the word pointy. R-C-E.

It's so, so important that she just got a lot of her co-likes. And the second one, you know, is that it was that man, what, what, what he's doing, you know, he, he's really, he's really retarded. How old he is about 90, 95 or somewhere around there? I mean, I know how that may be wrong, but that man was, it was, whenever we think of a man hit a low, he come up with a new thing as a new low. Child, children that most children we do,

All right. Thank you, Brad. Appreciate it. And just so folks, yeah, people sit back down. Trump is 80 years old and he is as far as a lot of people are concerned. Like, it's something wrong with him. It literally is something. And what did his mother say? You know, God help us all. Basically, I'm paraphrasing it. This man never became president. His mama said it. That's what some people are talking. You're dating a dude.

and they mom and they sister tell you don't mess with him or don't mess with her. You need to listen. Yeah, you ain't lying. You told me and I've been listening. And I'm not even talking about what your mama said about somebody else. I'm talking about what they own family members say about them. Donald Trump's own mother said, y'all better not mess around with this man ever become president because the writing was on the wall. Let me go to this caller. Hey, caller, what's happening? Good morning. Good morning.

I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it.

Challenging this even I mean even from anti-maxing on down to that little junior senator Well, she might not even be a junior now the lady that just kind of got a congressperson Why in the world is it black folk? That's gonna if you know, he's lonely black folk doing it. It don't mean her. Why white folk challenging? That's what I want to see why white P is not doing it Why we got to put the whole Holy Cape on flying around like we couldn't say something

And you've got a whole band of white folk up there that's not challenging to do like that. Not being, you know, outspoken and aggressive and going at him. Why is that? I just, just please, if you could answer that question for me, I'm going to kick the ass off that. Why we got to put the old, I don't know anything about, we want to say no. Uh-huh. The old white folk is not doing that.

We are doing it, and I want to know why we're doing it. I guess I don't understand the question now. I don't understand the question. The question is why it's only black folk challenging this dude when it's a whole host of white folk up there making all kinds of noise. And if they are challenging them, they're doing it quietly and secretly. Why do we have to be playing boy in and off? That's the question. All right. Thank you, bro. Thank you. I'm going to just tell you.

I don't necessarily understand the question I'm going to say it again, because I mean, whether it's Jamie Raskin, whether it is Gavin, but of course, he's at the state level, he's not federal, but there are any number of white, particularly, well, not particularly only really, quite frankly, except for a few Republicans who get disgruntled about an issue here or there that are pushing back on Trump.

And that have actively voted against everything that he's trying to do that have gone on the outlets and talked about, you know, what they find to be appalling about his behavior. I think for me. And number one, black folks, we don't speak up because that's being announced. We don't have no choice. We really don't. We're going to speak up. We always have and we always will. But I guess for me, the broader question is why.

You you raise the question. Why are white folks speaking up? Why you ride with them? Why do you call these airwaves and on a regular push that agenda? Why do you gleefully used to tell people to get on the Trump train? I mean, how do you question what somebody else does and not hold that mirror up and ask those things of yourself? Before I left last week.

as I back you up against the wall about being a conservative versus a Republican. Because the folks who primarily that are not speaking up and not doing anything are members of the Republican Party. We're not going to make this a blanket white folk statement because there's plenty of white folks pushing back against Trump. They just don't happen to be Republicans. So your question, you know, it was confusing to me.

Because you frequently support the people who say nothing. You frequently will call in here and defend foolishness or figure out a way to attack black folks who raise their voice in protest. So, yeah, that question did make no sense to me, but I got to take a break. And when I come back.

You know, the brother said he could spend all day talking about this dude. I am going to mention two other things because what's happening right now with this arch is ridiculous. We're going to now say it's a military necessity to protect this country. And then what just went on with Greenland because people are sitting back like, okay, what just happened? What was this announcement?

We'll talk about that. And then I want to remind people about the referendums that are on the ballot as some of you are filling out your mail in ballots right now. Let me take a break. Be right back. All right, family. Welcome back to the show. So I'm going to try to run through a number of things real quick before I have to get out of here today. I mentioned the.

Greenland deal. So a number of people, because we had been hearing Donald Trump talk real recklessly about he was going to take Greenland. He could take it if he wanted to. Greenland putting out signs about we don't want to be a part of the US. Leave us alone. So just so you know, this thing that started being posted, I think on Thursday or Friday, he announced that there was a deal with Denmark.

to increase the military, the US military presence in Greenland. And again, he had been threatened to take Greenland by force, which is so frickin' crazy. So they've reached this deal, which basically says that the US can, you know, basically run point on all of their military...

You know their military facilities that the US can build the military facilities on Greenland that they gain permanent basing so the ability to hold bases have bases on their property and overflight rights That it blocks non NATO nations from sensitive local investments so Greenland can't enter into agreements with countries that are not connected to NATO or nations not connected to NATO

If the US doesn't agree Bands adversary military bases from being put on the island so nobody else can be over there But us if they're an adversary And it says that even if Greenland does one day become independent that these this deal was still staying That it would still be valid. No land gets transferred in terms of Greenland to the US So their land as the way it is set up is all still intact

But those are the basic tenets of the deal, which is that they have been granted these military rights. I'm going to tell you, it's something being a smaller nation, a smaller country, and having these people come in and big boy you and bully you to get what they want. I don't know if people have been hearing Donald Trump in the last couple of days talking about Iran and just the way.

The the callous and ignorant and disrespectful way You know, I don't know if I'm gonna deal with them and I'm paraphrasing or if I'm just gonna blow up the country and kill them all You know, I'm thinking about it. I mean like who says that? Like these are not human lives Connected to whatever else the government is doing. It's innocent people over there like the US goes in along

What this Israeli strike and kills all these school kids act like you know, no harm no foul no big deal, but you just killed all these school children so Just pay attention because there are a lot of folks that are When Canada begins to form alliances and partnerships with other nations and now the US wants to get mad at Canada like how dare you

start to, you know, look for better partnerships because we, you know, we messing over y'all, but you're not going to leave me for somebody else. That's the equivalent of what the U.S. is doing with Canada right now. And Canada is like, I'm moving on. And other countries, the damage that Donald Trump is doing is decades of damage because we have now shown the world we cannot be trusted.

People suspected it anyway. That was kind of iffy on us here and there, but we have as a country. And I'm using the term we sparingly, but we have demonstrated that we would be complicit in violating agreements and friendships.

violating trust, messing over our alliances and our friends and our allies. We've demonstrated that because Congress has done nothing to reign this dude in. And you got a leader of a country that just talks about, you know, I don't know if I'm gonna get a cheese grill sandwich today or if I'm gonna get a sub from Subway. That's the way he talks about whether or not I'm gonna order military strikes to wipe out an entire nation of people.

Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to kill him or not. Get back to me tomorrow. And I'll let you know what I'm going to do. What? What part about none of this is working the way the framers of the Constitution intended it to work? Again, to the point, rules, policies, and laws are only as good as the people who have to enforce them. So another thing that I wanted to mention real quick, the referendums.

Three referendums are on your ballots here in Wisconsin for the November 3rd election. Okay? The way they're going to appear on the ballot, the first one, partial veto shall section 10 of Article 5 of the Constitution be amended to prohibit the governor in exercising his or her partial veto authority from creating or increasing or authorizing creation or increase of any tax or fee. Simply put,

The answer to that veto should be no. From Michelle Bryant, not from anybody else because I'm connected to a ton of organizations from Michelle Bryant. The answer should be no. All of these amendments were introduced by Republicans. All of these amendments got.

a caveat in there for Republicans. What Republicans did not like is that Tony Evers used his veto authority, which is one of the broadest in the nation for governors, to be able to change a funding number from 40 to 400 years for public education. But when Scott Walker is gutting public education by a billion dollars, Republicans don't have nothing to say.

This is a power that our governors have had since the beginning of this state's formation, and only because they don't like the way it's being exercised when somebody else got the PN, now it's a problem. The second referendum item that is on there is freedom to gather in places of worship during an emergency.

Shall section 18 of Article 1 of the Constitution, which deals with religious liberty, be amended to prohibit the state or political subdivision of the state from ordering the closure of forbidding gatherings in places of worship in response to a state emergency, including a public health emergency. This is COVID or something similar. The state came in and said, we need to close facilities to keep people safe. Not every facility got closed.

Walmart stayed open, grocery stores could stay open, the liquor store could stay open, churches got closed. And there were, you know, faith community members who were outraged because why in the world would you leave a liquor store open, but you would close a church? One of the arguments put forward is because this example I keep using, you go in the liquor store, you in the liquor store for five minutes.

You're gonna find your little product you came in here to buy you're gonna get in line You're gonna check out you're gonna walk out the door You go to church you and church for an hour to three hours depending on what church you go to We singing we dancing we running around the church for y'all churches that run got runners we praise in we praise teaming

The pastor doing uh-huh and you know got to wipe their mouth with the towel because stuff fly out their mouth when they talking like you turn to your neighbor You got all of this Extra additional interaction happening that has the likelihood of further spreading whatever the in this case it was COVID Just the thing might be the viral thing might be But the other thing I want people to think about

is that this would basically give the church more power than the state. If you remember why America was founded and why folks got on their little boats and left the place they originally were before they came over here and started slaughtering, you know, indigenous people to take this land and then, you know, going and running to find black folks to come and work it. It was because of the power of a Kings.

And the church. America was never designed that the church was supposed to have more power than the government. Because then which church, which faith, which religion is the one that rules us as a nation? So this is a slippery slope.

So again, Michelle the individual not connected to any organization not connected to this radio station But Michelle with good sense is saying that this is a no But I understand for church folks. This is a hard one So you're gonna have to vote your own conscience, but I'm telling you That this was if you think about it, it gives the church more power than the state

The church is not supposed to have and I'm not talking about how you feel about Jesus and how you love the Lord and he guides your life. I ain't talking about that I'm talking about the day-to-day business operations of our state The church is not supposed to supersede the day-to-day business operations of our state

So this is not about whether or not God is ahead of your life and you believe Jesus got the wheel and this ain't gonna do with that This is about understanding

that people are sitting up from a statistical, from a health vantage point, saying when you look at the amount and the length of time of contact and everything that's possible, you have a better chance of getting sick at church than you do in the liquor store. Because you in and you out.

versus you in and you sit in there and everything else that goes on. And yes, churches did the whole, you know, spacing and mask wearing and sanitizer. I get all of that. But you got to do more that because even y'all realize that you got an increased risk because of all the activities, particularly in black churches that goes on. But again, you got to you got to do it your own way.

The last thing on there, this is the one that without fail. I will scream it from the rooftops. Black folks are on the ballot. We are on the menu. This is the attack on diversity, equity and inclusion. It is the referendum. It's the third question it reads governmental entity discrimination prohibited. Now that sounds good because Republicans like to trick people.

Governmental entity discrimination prohibited. Shall section 27 of article one of the Constitution be created to prohibit governmental entities in the state from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin and public employment, public education, public contracting or public administration. This is attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion.

There will be black people that are uninformed that will go in here and say, well, that sounds like a good thing. Yeah, let's I'm a vote yes on that. The government shouldn't be discriminating. But y'all that assumes that the level the playing field is level. That assumes that things are right and even right now. But we know when certain governmental projects happen and we put in.

you know, some hiring guidelines. When we look at minority apprenticeship programs, when we look at black infant mortality rates, when we look at, you know, there's a disparity in educational outcomes for black students versus white students. We need a study to figure out what's going on. We need the state agency to put resources into that. When, you know, I talk about at the Capitol that, you know, it's eight black people working the entire Capitol. Eight.

You know, what is going on with the hiring practices wait in legislative offices, not in the cleanest staff, because for some reason they know how to hire a black person to sweep the flow, but they don't know how to hire one to run a legislative office for some reason, including some of these black legislators. So this literally assumes that everything is equal. It's not.

We know that Black folks have been kept out of employment opportunities, been kept out of educational institutions, all kinds of stuff. This would put it in the Constitution. And in the state of Wisconsin, everyday people don't have the ability to bring forward amendments to the Constitution.

It can only be done through the legislature. And they bring Minnesota, the people can get petition signed. 350,000 people saying we want this on a ballot in an upcoming November election. We don't have the ability to do that on constitutional amendments. So, Michelle, the individual is saying no to all the amendments. I need you to be educated about them so you know what to do.

But the one I'm gonna be clear on is that last one on governmental entity discrimination prohibited black people Do not be fooled. This is an attack on black people Do not be fooled. This is an attack on us. I want to be super super clear about that

Somebody said the liquor stores also stayed open because the medical systems couldn't handle all of the alcoholics going into withdrawal and DTS. It would exacerbate the medical conditions for the medical crisis. Yeah. Thank you. Because there actually was also, you know, another medical side to these liquor stores being open because people were self-medicating in some cases through this crisis.

So I definitely want to make sure that I referenced that. Okay. Let me take a second. Also acknowledge I mentioned Nolan Wells on the front end of the show. Oh, I got callers. Jermaine, let me get the car. I just looked up. Let me get the cars before I do this. Hey, caller. What's happening? Hello. Hey, good morning. How you doing? I'm good. How are you this morning?

Hey, I haven't talked to you in a while, my sister. It has been a while. It was good to hear your voice. Yeah, yeah, but, um, that means he forced me to call in. Okay, when he come talking crazy to you about why is it black people, um, you may have forgotten, but when Trump was running and you was getting on his case about supporting Trump, he screamed at you.

That's why I don't like talking to you. You know, when I go to Iowa and I talk to them white people there, they like me and like what I'm saying. And that's why I go out there. So meet, go on back out there to Iowa. Well, don't white people like what you're saying about black people putting us down? And then when you turn your back, they're calling you all kind of stupid inwards, but they glad you with them. Go to Iowa and ask them, why ain't they saying something about Trump?

Have a good day my sister. I appreciate you bruh, and don't be a stranger. Let me go to the next caller. Hey caller. What's happening? I'm good John. How are you this morning? Very good. Good. Thanks for taking the call too. We were talking earlier about the kids that were neglected and not having watched worse and stuff like that.

And I'd be, you know, long ago, when it first came out, we watched it. It was sort of routine. It just was something you did. And I don't know how I could have not watched it, you know. So this gets me to me thinking, right when you said that, those things I know has brought it up about the urban part and actually having black and slow persons right now. There's not like those ones in the Gulf where you say, I went to get a job and then they locked me in a room and took my passport.

I'll talk about the long term run over the hundreds of years. And this isn't about this usual argument that some people say, well, it was dated to, not at all that way. This is just a constant thing that's never ending. So then this relates to their ending. I've been looking up, trying to figure out all these connections all across this empire. It's just because it's invisible doesn't mean it's not. OK, so.

These are really guys actually had military bases in Sudan and Palestine had them in Sudan. Helping the Sudanese Arab government with its war against Africans. Simultaneously, at the other end of the continent, more opinion. To use that name, Sudan and meaning black, use the word Abid for slave. Now, I looked it up. There's no separate word for enslaved. The whole movement across the Arab world with

Blacks trying to say stop using the word Abid. It's sort of like, from the African point of view, it's just like saying under our foot. It's literally the inside, but it's used as a colloquial, like an N-word. That's what the Black people across the Arab world are saying, stop using it. So you finally get your voice in civil rights organizations. So one of the stuff you guys talk about, the indignities, like when you talk about the sports and other abusing people several weeks ago.

And you said, black people are kind of like, I keep saying the last hard first word, but that's not what you said. It was sort of like the last, oh, the last plot, afterthought. That's what you said, remember? I think that's what you said, remember? Yeah, I've been pretty much in that ballpark. Go ahead. And so I thought when you said it, I said, that's what I've been trying to get across, is that when I'm talking, it's been painted that I'm saying,

Yeah, but what about, like, say, the bombing of the school of children in Iran or the other various types of pits? There's a whole field of study where they actually send military people in there and watch how it's weighed carefully. And so they think there's going to be injuries, but there's accidents. Like, an American general got killed when we were bombing Germany. Iran's generals were killed.

because we can't see all the time. So this is a struggle war. But we can assume Israel is deliberately doing it or not. So then, now, a context of this whole giant urban part is that all these ethnic groups are looking towards influence, and Americans say, why don't you intervene? And nobody on the left, the progressive side, it seems like they're not listening. So this is what the indigenous people over there are saying.

and they'll press Iranians and say, where is all the women's movement? Where are they? So we have to go to consumers, so then you guys are going to say, well, I'll hang out with the consumers. So they must be bought and paid for, like that dolly as you had. I said, why would she be so...

unimposed without your letter. Wait, John, do me a favor. So bring it in to one concise or as close as you can to a takeaway, because I'm already ten up against the break and I don't want to lose it. So because I heard the, you know, mischaracterization sometimes that people may have when you're trying to make the point, you know, the broader point. So go ahead and bring it in for me. I really appreciate that.

Go ahead. I appreciate you saying that. I really appreciate you saying that. Okay, make my day. So basically, I'm trying to say that it takes time. I had to learn all this stuff by myself, and it was not to extend a miracle or as well. It was actually the opposite. It was all this stuff going on that I didn't go about, and the more I learned about it, and now it's coming up to the internet. Remember when you said,

that you gotta be able to look up stuff and know that somebody's gonna look up stuff so this stuff is all over, like suppressing African languages under Qaddafi. I never knew because there was a blackout on Qaddafi. It's just one example. You were allowed to carry dictionary material in 20 and 30 states. These African languages are fake languages invented by Europeans and stuff. It's just so much ridiculous stuff like that. So the context

is that all of these groups, including Jews from their countries, including Christians, which I understand with Christians, it's an ethnic group. It's actually genetics because when the guys came from. John, we're going back down. Yeah, we're going back down the path. I think one of the things that I'm hearing is the number one, the.

the work that's needed to try to understand globally how all this stuff is interconnected and where we see duplication of some of these issues. So I'm going to end it right there for right now, but obviously throughout the course of the week, if we can pick it back up, let's do that. Okay.

Thank you. All right. Thank you, John. I appreciate you. All right, y'all. I wanted to make sure before I got out of here today that I mentioned this piece about Nolan Wells because I mentioned Nolan at the top of the show. And so for folks that have saw this on social media, it's been reported in some of the news outlets. You know, the South, the South is big football territory. And the season opener.

for the OSHA Springs football team just happened this past Thursday night. And this has been the first home game, or the first, you know, game since Nolan Wills, who was the all region wide receiver. Okay. So this is an award winning player for the school. His school, the Greyhounds,

I just wanted to go back and look at something real quick. But his school, his mom was there, his brother was playing on the team, and there was no acknowledgement publicly by the school, the team, that, you know, as we are returning to the football season this year, that we lost Nolan Wells over the Fourth of July weekend. No reference, no mention at all.

And a lot of people were heated because this kid was a major contributor to the team. And so there are a number of social media posts and folks are like, look, you know, this is what we say all the time. We don't really mean anything to people. Even though we are here winning the wars, we breaking records, we doing different stuff. Somebody just said they don't like us.

And it just rubbed people the wrong way. But as far as I'm concerned, it's like this all the time. It's like this all the time because, number one, it's almost like in acknowledging, knowing, you have to acknowledge that somebody did something to him. That this young man didn't just go somewhere and drown.

That they have the questions about why his cell phone and car keys end up with people who tried to act like they didn't have them in the beginning So it's easier to say nothing Then it is to bring up Nolan's name because if you bring up Nolan's name then you got to bring up the questions about his peers and the young people around him Because this is still an unsolved murder So I'm not surprised they don't bring it up

I think it's classless. I think it's in poor taste. You could have said something, but do you mind shaking your head? Do you have a thought on it? Yeah, it's like I'm sitting here thinking just as long as you're entertaining them, you know, you sucking and jiving and shoo shoo and W being all over the place. You good that we going to cheer for you. Yeah, that's our God. But as soon as you take that uniform on.

or take them shoes off or take that glitter off and you no longer dancing in front of them. Now it's all this old typical nigga. I mean, Green Bay Packers have figured that out. Black Green Bay Packers players. You go somewhere and somebody will recognize you a pack of players and see what happens to you. You know, Denzel Washington, what do you say? I could be Denzel all day until I'm trying to hail a cab.

It is, it is the same thing over and over and over again. And so, you know, I'm just saying to us while we call it out, we got to also understand how we're going to deal with some of this stuff. Somebody got on here again, Justice for Carmelo Anthony. I told you about, I told you about Carmelo Anthony last time.

That's one of, you know, we gotta be careful what we attach ourselves to. That's all I'm gonna say. All right, y'all, that's the show for today. Tomorrow, we will be giving away a package of tickets to go see Fisk Jubilee Singers at Milton, connected to the fundraiser for Milton House. That person will win tickets and the bus.

ride for two people as a part of that package, but we'll give that away tomorrow. Please be on the lookout for that. Buzz, thank you so much. I appreciate you in the studio. Clark, thank you for keeping the camera off my face. Well, I go call Dr. Boyd this morning and Jermaine. Yes, ma'am.

I think I want to give away pork and beans and winters with that package. But we're talking about it off the air. And this is why I'm going to talk to you because I want you to make me laugh this morning. Because I already know. So I'd be like, well, Michelle, take that. So, all right, family, I'll talk to you all tomorrow. Peace.
