You know, you got to catch him. Got to catch him.

You know, we're going to welcome them to the show this morning. Look, people like health care. These roads. Yeah. The honeymoon going to be over quick. But for right now.

A lot to get to. Good morning to everyone that's checking in on YouTube and Facebook. What's happening? Good to see y'all. Somebody said I love us. Because you know. You know. Y'all know how we do. You graduate. You get your little master's degree, your little PhD. You know, you got your high profile job. You come home. Take that trash out.

That's some extra bags. Put some extra bags down in that before you put that liner back in. Like, don't let them change, you know? I remember I was at home for Thanksgiving one year and something happened in our neighborhood and the police had to come to our house, came to our door.

And so when the police officer came in, that was like looking on the table, the coffee table, and or on the there's looking on something. And it was a picture of me and Barack Obama. And so the officer looked at the picture and he looked at me. He looked at the picture. I can see him. He looked at the picture. He looked at me and he was like, is that you? I was like, yes. And my mama said, and you keeping her from that potato salad. So what do you mean?

I said, I'm a potato selling duty, you know, peeling these potatoes. So unless you need anything else from the office, I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna have to like, let you go. Yeah, my mom was like, ain't that the little picture her and Barack don't mean nothing. Uh, wait.

not while I was there. Now, when I was there, my brother would be like, man, I'm so sick of you. Your mama's talking about you in this picture with a Barack. And my brother did the typical brother. Barack ain't nobody. She moved my picture for you and Barack. So a lot, a lot, a lot to get to. But I want to start off this morning because I'm going to go back down to Mississippi for just a second.

for just a second. I literally was up to three o'clock this morning. I could not sleep because it was so much that I was doing. And then I ended up doing some research for something else I'm working on. And I came across a story that I had not heard yet.

And many of you may have already heard it may be up on this. And so you like Michelle, you know, you you're on the lay show. But remember, I said on yesterday that one of the reasons why the Mississippi race with Scott Coulomb and Cindy. Hi, whatever her name is. Why that race had not been called yet.

is because they had an unusual amount of voters who had to do like provisional ballots, what are equivalent of provisional ballots, because they had to go and get additional information to be able to verify the address or whatever to be able to vote. And there was a clip that

I heard on another show yesterday in which this African American woman talked about she had gone to three different places trying to get her ballot certified because of an address situation. So yesterday, I didn't come across the reason why so much was happening.

down in Mississippi because they were talking about as many as 20,000 voters had to do affidavits. Basically, these provisional ballots and come back in within five days of the election to satisfy whatever information they needed to in order for their vote to count. So.

Mississippi, Mississippi Republicans, in an effort to suppress the vote, was looking for a way to purge people from the voting rolls right before these elections began. They figured out one strategy.

was to challenge addresses. So, they contact Experian. Experian, you're like, what, Michelle? Experian like Equifax, Transunion, Experian Credit Union? Yeah. I mean, credit agency? Yes. That Experian. They contact Experian.

to go through their voter role information and then experience based on addresses in their credit bureau information began to single out voters that they said had bad addresses.

And 230,000 people were deactivated from the polls, from the voting rolls. Mostly in black communities, urban communities. So thousands of people were going to the polls.

to find out that their names had been deactivated from the roles. When people were saying why, they said your address doesn't match. People were looking at the address and they said, I've never lived at this address before. They're like, well, until we can get this corrected, you're not going to be able to have your vote count today, but you got five days to get this worked out.

They were so worried about a Democrat, Scott Cologne, meeting Senator Cindy High Smith that they employ this tactic. Now, Experian had already told the state that, hey, sometimes our address situation is janking. We don't always get this right. Mississippi knew that.

when they went ahead with purging all of these people from the voting rolls. They have had so many wrongful inactivations that there are people who still may not be able to get their votes counted by the time the five days is up. So then the Secretary of State.

Who is the one who entered into this deal with the experience? He comes out and goes on camera and says, you know, we've had an unusual amount of Affidavits that have had to be done and submitted, you know, like this is unusual, but you knew it because you put it in place

You come out and say, we've had an inordinate amount of cars in the Milwaukee area that have suffered from tires, deflated tires. Something's going on. Residents are trying to drive and their tires are going flat, but you don't tell people because you came out the night before and laid tax all over the road, laid nails and screws all over the road.

So, as people get up to go about their way, they're driving and hitting your nails, your screws, your tax. He knew it. When he stood in front of the cameras, he knew that they had created a situation that was going to negatively impact people that rightfully had the right to vote, that had done everything they were supposed to.

They were showing so many African Americans in Mississippi yesterday that the local just frustration and some of these people had not voted in years. But nothing had changed. Address was fine. They were on the polls. But they literally had this look on their face. Some of them were dejected, like so I haven't voted and I come back and I come back to this.

And other people, it made them more determined than ever. But one woman, Experian had put down like four or five addresses, some of which were outside of Mississippi. And that woman is like, I never lived out of Mississippi a day in my life. This is wrong. I had before looked at my credit report and seeing addresses on there. And I'm like, I've never lived at this address. And had to contact the credit bureau to be like, look.

I mean, this ain't causing me no issue right now, but y'all need to clean this up. I've never lived at this address. So I'm going to go back and I'm going to remind people of what I've told you before, if you've not done it, annualcreditreport.com, annualcreditreport.com, you get a free credit report every year from all three credit bureaus, TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian.

In addition to just going to look for your aggregate score or to look for what may be showing up as a delinquency or how you look in everything looking good, check the address sections on those credit reports because if that's what was used to create this level of chaos down in Mississippi, trust and believe that there will be folks that will attempt to do that in other places.

anything and everything that they can do to stop communities of color, black folks in particular, from having a voice. Can you, can you just for a second, let that sink in? That Mississippi voters did everything that people asked them to do. They were registered.

The information was correct. They showed up. You know, people claim, and we know not everybody means it when they say we want to see better civic engagement. Like, you know, we got Republicans putting it into curriculums in high schools and mandating it for graduation that they have civic engagement. You know, but I don't really mean for you to actually use it.

I'm just pretending that I care that you are civically educated and civically engaged. I want people to understand what happened and why it's taken so long in Mississippi. They are praying and hoping that they can.

come up with enough ways to discredit enough people because at this point, it is about not necessarily as Cindy High Smith's numbers are going to increase, but more so how they can peel off voters from from the 1900 margin that separates the two of them. This was an all out effort to create confusion.

and to cheat and deny people the right to participate in this process. When I tell you that bothered me all night last night, folks can't win fairly. They can't win on the policies and the issues. They can't win on a better message. They can't win on stronger candidates. And Republicans knew that Cindy High Smith

They know I should say that she raggedy and they know that she racist they know it but what people got thrown off by is when she made that little find another protein comment and Cologne effectively seizes that commercial

Before the center's commercial came out, everybody at agencies was saying that that commercial about getting another protein was one of the best commercials they had ever seen in politics. It was the funniest. At first, when I saw it, I thought that it wasn't real because the dude in the beginning, it was like.

Yeah. And you know, and it got the run and you so you got the feel of the cuss words without really the cuss words. Since when the lady like going and opening up that home lady at the end, you know, I was like waiting for it. So you heard it even though she never said it. You you heard it. You heard the curse words. So I just had to bring that up because first of all, I just

I feel so bad for our folks who do everything that they can. You know, even when you show up right, there are people that still want to deny you the opportunity to vote. I listened to this elderly black lady down in Mississippi who was casting her ballot. And I thought about her when they talked about these affidavit votes. And she said, I just want to say, when I came to vote,

in the sixties. Black people had to pay two dollars to vote. White folks didn't have to pay nothing. And the young, you know, person that was interviewing her, she said, and today she said, I vote for free. And I wish I would not show up.

In fact, I got on my voting shoes and they showed she had on some real, you know, funky, uh, blinged out silver shoes, uh, to vote. And she was dancing and it made me think about the story that I shared where the woman said she was a military veteran.

And so, therefore, she got an exemption from the poll tax of a dollar and 50 cent that they charged black people to vote. Remember I told y'all that? There's the video. She actually had a copy of the poll exemption certificate put on a t-shirt. So, I just want y'all to understand, I gotta take a break, but I need y'all to understand the...

When people are saying y'all we can't take this stuff lightly. We can't dismiss this like it means nothing. You know, you get tired of hearing if it wasn't important, people wouldn't be trying to steal it from you all the time. But it's real. So here we sit. It is November 10th. It is seven or six days after the election, which was held on the third.

These people could go well into Thanksgiving. Not knowing yet who has won this Mississippi race. And a lot of it is about shenanigans and Republican effort to marginalize, discredit, push out black voters. I just need that to sit with people while we go to break.

I'll be right back. All right, family, welcome back to the show. So I got a caller. Let's get them in real quick. Hey, caller, what's happening? Hello? Happy Vaseline Day. And I said, hello. What's going on, Arizona? How you doing this for a fair day? And then you got a deal. You got these are white girls to connect with the monkey nose in front of in front of a black woman's door.

And there will be a counter for it in Mississippi. But I cannot, Wisconsin. That main ringleader is from Wisconsin. Her daddy owns that Coons, which I think is funny too. That's the name of the other dealership. But yeah, that's our daddy where they was putting the N word on people's oil stickers. And then she go down there with her hateful foolishness down in Mississippi. So no, that's a Wisconsin tie too.

Yeah, but the last girl, she was. If you see her, she'd be like, I ain't got no business even doing that. I ain't even even do it. Because she kept walking. To her credit, she didn't do it. And the others had just cut up. But you was with them, so that means you were with them because you could have said something about it.

I mean, at the end of the day, for sure, you know, like if you see your friends do something out of pocket, you know, to at least be like, man, cut it out, man. You know, something like that. But I think she will be the one that if they talk about expulsions that won't get expel because, you know, she doesn't actually do it. Right. But yeah. But no, no, no. Yeah. I was going to hit that this morning because because it's not not not you all over social media. Now you buy your backtracking.

I didn't really mean it. What you did in front of a rain camera man is record your goofy self. Yeah, and I don't I don't know if they knew that was being recorded because I don't know if I know it. No, if you know we've got a rain camera you've been recorded and it depends on who or what camera it was. So you know what was going on.

Well, the fact that the little daughter of the Coons car dealership that she was so animated and so, you know, I'm like, yeah, honey, this y'all do this around the kitchen table and y'all do this at Thanksgiving at your house. This was this was baked into the DNA. So let me come here and be like.

cracker, cracker, hooky, hooky, didn't it be a whole other story, right? Yeah, I mean, you would have got put off the yard right away because we don't tolerate, you know, because the university is going to have a policy. But it's go I'm going to be interested to see how long it takes them to drag their feet to deal with these students. But I'm going to say this to the credit of the other students on the campus, white, black and otherwise. And for folks, I'm going to tell you what we're talking about because we're talking about

Down at the University of Mississippi. What, you know, with some college students who went to the residents of a place where some African American young lady stayed and then went in front of the.

Oh, Mississippi. Oh, Mississippi University. Yes. Oh, yes. Let's be clear. Let's be clear. Oh, miss. Okay. I'm coming. I'm coming. And, um, you know, they, um, end up making ape and monkey sounds and monkey gestures like they scratch and they size like apes and they were doing it to taunt the black women that was inside the house. And it all pretty pretty pretty black young sister. Let's see your mind.

Okay, I mean, I'm gonna give you all of that too. I mean, no, you get all of that. You get all of that. But yeah, beating a chance to act, you know, hold but outside this girl's door and it all gets picked up on video. Then she posts the video and then her, you know, her mom even

Reaches out to the school like so what's what's gonna happen? You know in the school, of course, they got their cursory statement. Well, you know We don't tolerate this. It's unacceptable. We're investigating but I'm going to be interested to see what happens to the students Yeah, and I didn't realize that how long ago it had happened, but you're right. It has been almost a week But we don't see

We're going to see what happens. But just the fact too, that it's blown up all over social media and people have gotten to see this little girl, particularly the one from Wisconsin for what she is and help to solidify what everybody know your daddy and your family's business to be. But and I'm going to just say this real quick. There was a heavy effort by Coons car dealership to market in the black community. I remember

When they first opened them dealerships, they came and they advertised in the black community heavy, heavy, heavy. And I was like, where is this dealership at?

And who are these people? And I promise you, I said, so they specifically targeting us and I bet targeting us for higher interest loans, building a business off our back. That's why I tell our folks, don't step your behind on a car dealership lot and you don't know your credit score. If at all possible, you don't go with your own financing because these people see you coming.

I've had people that went to the credit dealership with a 720 credit score and they tried to get him a 32% interest rate on a car loan. Did you hear what I just said? Guess what? They name is Toon. I'm telling you. Let's pronounce Coon as whatever Coon sound right to me. So now, bro, thank you for mentioning it because I definitely was going to mention it this morning.

And happy back to him. They put it on your earboats, man. We gonna need it everywhere. If the weather go like they said this weekend, we gonna be at your house. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?

what happened so just again real briefly there is this video that is going viral showing three young white college students walking past a residence where there are African-Americans women that live in the residence and they were taunting them not all three at least in the video you only see two of the students

that are doing monkey gestures and scratching their sides and beating their chests, you know, calling these black women monkeys. And I saw picked up on ring camera and the video, you know, I mean, the video goes wild and people start right away.

identifying who these young women are. So they got all three of their names. And then when the name Coons KU NES shows up, people, because people are seeing this all over the country. Somebody makes the connection back to Coons Auto here in Wisconsin and realizes that the one of the girls is the daughter of one of the folks from the car dealership. She's one of the family members.

Huh Yeah, they say an executive but he a family member they I mean they own they wanted the owners of the company he's a coons and she's a coons and So Once that happened. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god Everybody started to get in on it You know, but we've had

these people who have come forward and what the one salesman who texted the black lady who had actually bought I think four cars from the Coons dealership and texted her picture talking about is this you and it was a picture of a ape and then when she like said she was offended back in the text message he doubled down and sent her a picture of a gorilla in a two piece dress and said

I don't want to bother if you're not interested in a car. We just got an inquiry from you telling us you were interested. Should I take you off the list? But it's a picture of a gorilla or ape, whatever, in a two-piece pink little outfit. It's supposed to be a woman. And it's just crazy.

And then the woman gets the oil change and the in word is on the oil change and they try to talk about it at cool and talk about they were talking to one another. They didn't know it was going to show up on the receipt and blah, blah, blah. But so hopefully I keep telling y'all people treat you how you let them treat you and you can break these businesses when you stop messing with these businesses.

anybody who still drives a Tesla today, I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with you. Anybody that intentionally goes to buy a Tesla, what is wrong with you? Nobody should be buying a car from the Coons auto dealership. I definitely will be taking that little plate because one of the things when I buy a vehicle, take your company name off my vehicle.

I think this was the first time I remember if I got it removed off the Jeep I'm driving. I never allow the auto dealership to put their name on my car because they added after you buy it. That's right. When you first look at that car, their name is not on that car.

Once you do the paperwork, while they say, let us get it ready for you, they are somewhere putting their name somewhere on the rear end, the bumper somewhere of your vehicle. It doesn't come that way. Even as a used car, their name is not on your vehicle when it first comes onto that lot. And when you look at it, their name is not on that vehicle.

after the sale is done, they then slap their damn name on the back of your truck, your car, and then you ride around advertising for the next four to six years, you know, seven, if you got an Ignite car loan, you out here riding around with these, giving these people free advertising, they little frame that take, and I remember the first time I told a dealer to do that, they looked at me like I was crazy. I said, Hey, Hey, because.

They had already done it when they brought my car around. My car has six miles on it. They had already done it. And I said, hey, go go take that off my car. And he goes, what are you talking about? Take your company name off the back of my car. You all ain't paying me to advertise. And I think at that time it was Phil Token Nissan. Phil Token ain't paying me. Take that mess off my car.

Because that card just came up to show on the floor. Your name wasn't on it. Take it off. So y'all, be smarter, be better, be more savvy about who we do business with because you can break these people.

They they targeted our community. Why would this black woman know about Coons auto dealership to the point that she done bought four cars from them? You got all kind of car dealerships all around us. Why was she out at Coons? Yes, Clark, do they charge you for that for the name they name on the car? No, they just put it on there. They just yeah, they're charging you. They just putting it on there to advertise their car dealership.

That's why they put that little plate. The first thing you do, that frame comes off. Go get you a frame of your choosing. But if that name is on there, and when I'm telling you now, like I said, and I don't know what was going on when I got my Jeep, but I think they may be on my Jeep now that I'm thinking about it. Because I bought that Jeep.

Me and Keon went to go buy that Jeep and it was cold and I was ready to go and I bought it because My ultimate was messing up and I said I gotta have a car today and I wouldn't bought it and I you know I Went with my own financing and stuff, but I just I don't think I paid attention. I was just ready to go So

because the other thing the dealership that did, even though I came with my own credit, I mean, my own financing, they ran my credit anyway because I had to clown them about that because I later saw that they had ran my credit anyway. And I told them out the gate, don't run my credit. I came on my own financing because y'all know every time somebody run y'all credit, that's a hit that can decrease your credit score. That's right.

So, I'm just telling people, y'all, don't see this kind of story and then still take your behind over there and go buy a car for these people. Let me go to the phone line. Hey, Carlin, what's happening? Hey, bro, how you doing this morning? I'm doing okay.

uh i'm a young gentleman they called last week about my pastor and first lady situation oh yes yes yes yes yes i talked to him again they they won't refrain from that idea of like leaving it up to god i was saying like you know you shouldn't do that because god gave us five senses god gave us the ability to do something on our own because they still refrain from my idea of working it out on your own

Because I'm thinking of making no faith without what is dead. But I will not listen to you earlier about this situation in Mississippi. I'm thinking like, did the level of evil that the European go through, it's just fascinating. It's just unreal.

Because all in the quest to maintain power and control, you know, and you willing to cheat, lie, steal, do whatever you got to do to do that. And so that was what makes it even more incumbent upon us to go vote. You know, enough people showed up that it wasn't easy to steal the selection. That's why we are on day six of them trying to whittle away these numbers.

What if the majority of people had listened to your pastor and they, they wouldn't really, you know, they wouldn't engage, they wouldn't encourage them, motivated to vote. This, this election could go a very different way. That brother could rightfully be losing a seat that he had won. So at some point, you know, and that's what I tell people. And it's, it's a, it's an uncomfortable thing to say out loud. Everybody can't leave me. I can't, I can't ride with everybody.

because I gotta pay attention to my whole self, not just my spiritual self. I need to understand, I mess with people that appreciate the whole being. And the fact that I got an earthly life to live and a spiritual life to live. And there are differences sometimes between the two. But anybody that's leading a flock who don't understand the importance of voting, man, I'm scared of them people.

I can't mess with you. I've seen a picture on TV some time ago about this father's daughter and he was telling her leave everything up to God and don't go to the doctor. I was telling him that the doctor got the ability in their mind to come to God and don't say it on their own as far as healing us. He was saying leave everything up to God.

and his daughter died in the hospital. He's got to die. Yeah, no, we've seen many examples of that where folks will say I'm gonna put it in God's hands and you know, it's frequently misguided because God also has provided resources. If you believe that he, the same way you believe that he can provide food, shelter, clothing, I don't understand why people don't believe he can provide a doctor.

I don't understand why you don't believe he can provide, you know, people in your pathway to help you. And so, like I said, you, you can't be my pastor talking like that. You, you can't, you can't, you can't, because that means you're going to miss something important that could cost me in the end. You, you can't be my pastor. Thank you, bro. I appreciate the call. And, you know, I know that's a difficult thing to say, but it's some folks out here. You, you, you harm yourself.

You harm yourself. You are given tools. You are given a brain. Like I said, if you really believe in the Lord and you really believe in Christianity, there are things that are in the text that require you to take action. There are.

I mean, just the act of being able to go and preach the gospel to other lets you know Jesus is looking for some help. He's looking for some help. It's not just spread the word to Christ. I'm looking for some help. And it will help me if some of y'all will help yourself.

I said it before. Stop being selfish. Stop being lazy. Stop saying that, you know, Jesus gonna work it out like he gotta work it out all by yourself. Do your damn part. Cause what you're doing is lazy. It's lazy faith. It's lazy worship. It's a lazy belief in God. If you believe in God, you should be one of the busiest people in town.

because you're helping the sick, you're feeding the poor. I mean, the homeless, you're doing, it's so much work to do if you really are trying to live the way God lived, you're supposed to be busy. That's why I don't understand how churches is the least busy places in the world. Sunday, Tuesday for quad rehearse. Sunday, Tuesday for quad rehearse.

When you say you can get a phone call for Bible. Oh, you know, the prayer night. Otherwise, cobwebs, dust, and ain't nothing going on. But if you actually are doing the work of God, you should be busy. You should be tired.

Yeah, I just said

So let me take a break and some of y'all pastors pick your lips up off the floor I'll be right back

That's a blue wave flood Georgia got peaches, Michigan brought heat Somebody get a towel for the news they see Still 612! My governor back, hey! That blue wave came through My governor back, hey!

It's not in the mix. What's going on? Governor like David Crowley. Good morning. Good morning. What's happening fans? Oh my god, look, it's a hundred of these. I was finding all of them. It's, it's wait, one more, one more. This one right here, the lady, they, we did Mariah Carey, all I want for Christmas or whatever her little Christmas song is. And they show the lady is like, and it's showing all the different people who won. And I'm sitting here like,

I better see his picture. Yours is the last one. It's the last one. I'm gonna send you that video. This is the last one in the video. I did this all night. I was up to three o'clock in the morning. Like, some people from all over the country was like, did you see your boy? Did you hear your boy? I'm like, nah, he in a rap song. So I'm telling you, you gotta have somebody that is on your team that puts together all of the clips because this is for posterity purposes. I'm like...

Can you imagine walking up in a spot or being in a car and you hear your name in the rap song? Good morning. Good morning. This first time I saw you since you have won. How you doing this morning fan? I'm doing all right. I finally got a chance to breathe a little bit since Tuesday. Took a nap. I don't know about a nap. I'm definitely getting a lot more sleep than I had before, but it's different.

It's different. It's exciting. Yeah, because you got my parking space. I want to just start there. And you know, I want to be clear. You know, I hope your little people didn't hear this morning. But I said, yeah, DC going to be going to his family holiday events. You know, they were like, the governor's here. And they're going to be like, I don't care about that. DC, get in there and get that trash and take it out. Take it out. You know how we do? I was like.

Look, I called my auntie this morning and she was already stopping on me, so. Yeah, I was cool with you being governor until you started messing with my parking. I was like, nah, we got a problem. We got a problem. Man, I know life has just had to do a complete 180 for you. This is madness. How many phone calls did you get? Like 9,000? I haven't even checked all the text messages. I have over 1,300 text messages. Seriously.

Yeah, you got one for me. I have a in like everybody's sexy. So it's just everything is getting buried. Oh, yeah, you're gonna lose it. You ain't gonna see mine too. And it's probably good. You'll see my right away because I I might have said some slick. I'm not really sure. It's all right. I think it was about like, uh, don't be in my parking space. It might be because I got a taste of it on election day. That's out here. You know, your sister was out here with the Cones moving in.

Down the street, ma'am. I'm serious, ma'am, down the street. So look, bruh, this win feels like a win for everyone. And I mean, people not just Wisconsinites, people from across the country were cheering for you. I did an election show in Chicago. They had a whole panel. They was watching election results coming in.

They call me crying and screaming like he did it. He did it. Do you know him? He did it. He did it. Like that's what it felt like for everyone. Yeah. So wait, so before I get to the business piece of it, how the girls doing? They're doing good. Like, you know, I didn't know how they were responding to it, even my oldest, but everybody is just walking into it.

Okay, you know, they're enjoying you know, we was worried about the oldest. Yeah, the babies they like But the oldest like her life get ready check she's been she's she's good. Well, I'm gonna tell you know, like I was telling somebody we was at Martha's Vineyard and you know, we on the beach and Sasha out there, you know, with a little friend just walking in the sand looking normal And then we see these white dudes with short-sword and shades and the earpiece and we was like

Man, that's security right there, you know, but it looked like you know, like she was having fun with her girlfriends But on some level like it's a different ball game. It is it isn't it is a different ball game But I'm not gonna allow that to change You know who my daughters are who I am, you know And and the way that somebody kind of put it at least explained it to my wife is that it's a golden cage You know because

I can't go to too many places like I used to. Right. You know, because it's more of a hassle because of the level of security and things of that nature. My parking space. Yo, your parking space being a great example of that. But it's also like the opportunity, you know, and, you know, when I think about this was a historic election, not just because we elected, you know, me being the first African-American elected, right? Because I know that that carries a lot of weight. But this is the largest victory, margin of victory since 1998. You know,

even if you would have removed all the votes out of Milwaukee County, we still would have won this race. Right. You know, and so the fact that we were able not only to win decidedly and go to sleep early on election night, like we haven't done before, but we won back the Senate. Because we really thought we was going to be up for a while. Yeah. We were over at Clinton Road shutting everything down. And, you know, people are like, ah, here we go. Had no idea it was going to be called that song. Yeah. But I mean.

You know, now the hard work starts. Now it's gubbling. Now it's focusing on, you know, the biggest focus right now is getting the transition team in place. You know, we're going to be actually announcing the website, people who want to apply to be a part of this administration. You know, we are moving like crazy and we're going to be moving like lightning between now and election, I mean, excuse me, and inauguration day because it's not just about getting the transition team together. It's also about, you know, throughout this process.

focusing on what that budget looks like, right? You know, because that's the first thing that we're going to be doing. And so I'm actually going to be heading to Madison today, talking to some of the legislators up there, having some conversations. But I mean, it's still surreal. So let me let me let me just get at you because I already now she was coming on. And people already hit me up with questions, but it started literally the day after. Yeah. In fact, I might have got that question on Election Day.

because folks say, you know, whenever there's something going on, me and Keisha do a bus. You know, we're going to see the fifth university singers. We do a bus. You know, she got a bus tour going to go see what was no limiting concert cash money. Yeah, she got a bus. And it's full. She got a bus. So people are used to anything that comes to the city is you're going to do a bus. So people start hitting us up right away.

Are y'all gonna do a bus for the inauguration? And I'm like, that ain't how this work y'all. That's not how this work y'all. Well, no, we wanna see if Swarnia, we wanna, you know, so I do need people here. We're gonna give everybody the details. From you. So like, so the inauguration will be January 4th. Okay.

But what we're doing is that we want to have a bunch of activities leading up to inauguration. So we're going to actually have some walkie specific activities that we can before. Thank you. Somebody heard my prayer. Thank you. Thank you. So we're going to make sure that everybody gets everything that is happening because we know that there's a lot of people who want to enjoy this moment. Right. You know, and to all those folks who was out there, you know, hosting these, my governor is Black Party. Y'all don't give me no invite.

I'm talking to my family. I was like, oh, we heard you going to be like, what are you talking about? I'm telling you, well, who did the song when Barack Obama won my President is Black? Or Range Rover 2? I think of it, because that's one of my favorite songs I played to death. And I heard that song.

all over the city. Yeah. All over the city. I think you're talking about GZ. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All over the city. But you're right. So I just wanted to say that because they asked the question. I promise people that I will pose it to you. But I will be doing my best to educate people that, you know, this is a limited number of seats, limited number of folks can get into the capital. And I don't care who you are. I remember even when LaQuisha got elected. Yeah. You know, she had the parts who she could invite because, you know, and this one.

I mean, this is one for the record books right here. So everybody, they daddy gonna be trying to just the how to stick it in town. So I wanted to make sure our community understands that. But let me do this real quickly.

I want you to also, somebody said, Michelle, ask him to please address the $4.6 million. Because people tried to feel like it was a gotcha moment. And people have said, this was hidden from the public. Can you take a second and address that? Basically, what ended up happening, so we use new software for our financial stuff. And so when we ended up finding out is that we presented the budget

And then there was a miss, particularly with the software, nothing related to what somebody did specifically. And so when we learned about this thing, when we learned about the strategy budget and performance, they started focusing on, all right, let's figure out what the problem is before we go out here and just announce that we figure this, you know, we see this less than a half a percent off, right? We're talking 0.3 percent. And that's what I was telling them. I was like, first of all, please think about the county budget.

and what that number is. And think about what this is in proximity to that. And then when you, and I tell people all the time, get the information first before we start talking. And so it was a software error. It was a software error issue. And so we wanted to do our due diligence before actually getting that information out. And that's what basically happened. And so that's what the strategy and budget performance office did. When they figured out the problem, they basically did reconnaissance and basically said, okay, we need to figure out what exactly happened. We realized it was a software error. Once that information came out,

that then they they they gave that they gave the the press not the press release but the information to the county board because it coincided with the meeting that they were having. Okay. Yeah. All right. All right. So I all right y'all that was listening. I got my two questions is that y'all wanted. Now let me turn to and let me just say this too. This interview this morning was not my request. This interview this morning was not my request.

you initiated your office, your team. Hey, Jonathan, your people initiated this. I knew you were coming because the state police was walking in the building yesterday. And I'm like, state police here. And when I get off the air, I'm like, something's going on. So I catch up with Jonathan. He like, oh, yeah, we coming through. You know, but it was it was it was more, you know, cordial, but basically.

Do you want to highlight the governor in the morning? I got to come back home first. Let me tell you how important and I think this is indicative of one of the reasons why you won. Because the fact that you I already know what your schedule get right. Look, I know what it is. Yeah, you know. And for you to make the carve out like the team, whoever said we stop by here first. It means everything. And these are the types of things that.

People will fight to make sure you stay in office. Yeah, you know this this this lets people know Ain't no change nothing is changed, you know, and so

I just had to say that first. I didn't call for this interview. I put no pressure on you. I got to say that. I got to say about political capital. For some, I won't. I ain't won nothing. I ain't won nothing. You notice how she put it out there, though. It's coming. Oh, it's coming. You think I'm going to be in love with the rest of these old ladies? No, it's not. It's like, all right, boy. Remember when? Remember when? But I'm going to tell you without fail.

I just, I was blown away by it yesterday. And I knew when I started Capitol Police, I was like, because now.

Like you say everything changes. Yeah, so I see certain folks walk through the door. That means David Crawley somewhere in the neighborhood, you know, it's amazing. So to the business aspect of this, you said you're going to Madison today. You got some meetings coming up. You're going to get this question 900 times, but I would be doing a disservice if I didn't ask, you know, first 100 days, what the priorities are going in, you know, what are the things because and then the other thing I try to do is also help to not necessarily temper expectations.

But help people really understand what's possible. Yeah. Because Barack Obama gets in and people believe the sky is the limit. Everything is a process, though. So can you speak a little bit about what you have, what your team, you know, congratulations to Sarah Galuski. Oh, yeah. I got one of the best lieutenant governors out there. And I'm looking forward to being with her. But, you know, when we think about government.

Let's just be honest. This is the control of limited resources. And why we get our transition team together is one, making sure that we have the expertise, we have the network, and being very intentional on having the diversity of this state being represented in this administration. And so what we want to focus on is tackling what we've been hearing this entire time, which is the affordability crisis, right? And there are ways that we can utilize this budget to provide

Property tax relief to be able to lower people's costs there are things that we can do to put more money in people's pockets related to you know the minimum wage related to How we fund our schools in general so we don't continue to see our property taxes being rising each each and every single year, but I also know that With this democratic trifecta

There's a lot of folks who want to undo a lot of things that happened in the past. Question three, but keep going.

We have to be intentional on what we're doing because we want to be aggressive. We want to be bold. But we also have to make sure that we're protecting these majorities for the long term to make sure that we are in power as Democrats to make the best decisions possible. So when you talk about there are people that want to see things undone, you know, right away. Act 10 is the first thing on people's mind. Is there a possibility to go back in and address what was done during Act 10?

You know, and I'm watching and it's funny because I'm watching the parallels between the conversations we're having here in the state and at the federal level. How aggressively do you move to address things that people have had longtime grievances about versus how do we execute the plan versus affordability is a thing, but affordability in northern Wisconsin and rural Wisconsin may be very different from Milwaukee. So you walk in this, I won't say tightrope.

But you got this this line that you got. I got a misupposition pool, right? Because, you know, dealing with the federal government, you still got the Trump administration, right? Right. My our hope is, though, right now that we've seen this blue tsunami because it wasn't just a wave across the country. What are they going to be able to do?

Right. What kind of check what kind of things will they be able to undo to put Wisconsin to put other states in the best position possible moving forward? And so we're going to be having a lot of conversations because a lot of people say well, this is what you're gonna have to do It's like I also got to work with our Senate and our and our assembly in order to get things done And we have to make sure that all of our priorities are going to be aligned right to make sure that we're doing we're making the best positive impact as possible But it's not going to be a cakewalk, you know

It's been 16 years since we've had total control. And so we've already proven that we can win. Now we have to prove that we can govern for the long term. And that's going to be our focus. Because one of the things, and I've been hearing, some corners, they have said, as they have talked about what happened on Tuesday all around this country, folks will say, yeah, some folks have called it a blue wave, a blue title, title wave, blue, whatever. But I heard somebody frame it that

This may not necessarily have been about Democrats even though Democrats was a vehicle to bring change about This was about all of these issues that were impacting people and quite frankly pissing people off Upsetting the electorate to the point that you had the presence of young people in Voting across the country. It was madness. Yeah, you know, so I Think that yeah, there has to be a real country interest effort

to address as many of these issues, be able to talk quickly about what the plans look like. And, you know, I'm watching the struggle right now that Maxine Waters is getting ready to be in D.C. They're back in the majority, seniority-wise. She should be stepping up to be a chair of a committee, but you got somebody from within the party challenging her to say, hey.

You know, folks said they wanted to see change and some of it was generational as well. Yeah, because I didn't even realize Maxine was about to be 88. I was like, what? Stop. Black don't crack. But you have a lot of young people around you. You know, your team and a lot of folks at the history that you've worked with. So are you concerned at all about what that looks like going in the building, getting people to understand?

I feel good because you're the youngest governor. You will be the youngest governor in the country. One of I think there's the guy in Alaska is 39. He's a year younger. OK, maybe. But me and him, me and him, we've even even been talking. And so what I would say is that even if people didn't vote for Democrats across the country, because they believe in the agenda, we now have to seize the moment. Right.

And we can't squander it like we have to show this this is what and this is what I mean by we have to go out there improve that we can govern now because now This is about change. This is about improvement. This is about okay What does the future look like for my daughters? You know my granddaughters and we have to be really intentional on that and I think that you know me and Sarah got loosely we may be the only millennium duo right across the entire country right and

We have to, you know, both of us are in our early 40s. And so, like, we have to use this to show that we can actually, again, make the long term impacts that people have been yearning for. Because right now, when you look at the federal government, nothing has been getting done. You know, you, Congress is the polls worse than anything in everybody. And so my, you know, now we have Dems, you know, controlling things.

How are we going to prove ourselves is going to is going to matter for the long term? And I got to think about that even as the as the next governor because it's about okay How do I make sure that we can protect these majorities going into 20 or 20 30 when we're focusing on redistricting right to make sure that we are pushing that we're protecting these majorities We're protecting all of the communities across this state to where they know that we're going to do right by them So look we got a caller I I definitely want to be

Always be true to Michelle. You know, I believe that folks should have access. Oh, and unless I'm on a time crunch, I don't prohibit people from getting through. So let me go to the phone line. Hello. Good morning. Good morning. How you doing this morning? What's going on? How you doing? I have seen the governor at the women's

African-American women's position on Bleak Street. Okay. And I was impressed with him then. I'm impressed with him now. He comes across very, very professorial. And I saw him when he made this exceptional speech. And I want to let it out when he spoke with his daughters.

He was almost crying. And I was crying too, because I had three dollars. And y'all have a good one. All right. Thank you, Dr. Ward. Appreciate it. You know, because in four seconds is when I came.

on the air the day after your show. I didn't do the policy. I mean, I didn't do the breakdown of the elections. I just, I told people, I'm one outside. I was like, you know, we're going to just let it sink in for a minute. We don't just sit with that. And so for the last, you know, couple of minutes that I have with you, I think that that's the thing. And I know we got another caller, but I think that's the thing that I want listeners to also appreciate because we got

Yeah, we got all the time to start throwing policy and first 100 days, you're going to do this and what are you going to do about education? What are you going to do about Medicaid expansion? We got all the things. Yeah. But when you gave your, oh, first of all, your niece stole the show. Let's start there with the prodigy, baby. What's her name? Victoria. Well, it's another name. Victoria Washington Crowley. But isn't it something like that? No.

I thought she had an it was a nickname that I had her for her. I got to go back and look at it. OK. But she stole the show. You was really sick, dear. I hate to break it to you. The baby girl is a phenom. Oh, my God, I was so proud of her. But when you when you spoke, you know, you you see that moment where you're talking and I think as you're talking the weight of what's happening kind of seeps into into the room.

I went and watched El Said as they were going, I was like, oh, I wonder if David got one of these. So they had a film crew with him the whole time that day. And so they're in the war room and stuff is starting to happen and they watching, he looking at his phone and they're like, oh, NBC is about to call it. And he was like, what? And you just see all of the tension. And then when he's getting ready to walk out and you see people crying.

didn't matter Muslim community black white people crying and then he walks out and right before he walks out because super quiet where he is but everybody screaming out there because they know he's on his way out and then you see him take this deep breath and he he stepped out and then the smile is he got to turn it on just like that like as as you are going in the back in your situation just just take us there for a second

So I will start with I was sitting in my suite, you know with with with my team with my family and I remember when my campaign manager pulling me to the side and like we got this and I Was just first thing I did was like I can't believe this and we didn't tell my family yet. He didn't we didn't tell my family and so I just Slowly walked into my sweeps looking at my family

And, you know, I was wondering, like, okay, how am I going to tell them? And I just said, forget it. We won. That was it. Oh, my God. You know, because I was like, they're a primary. I gave them old speech. And I was like, I'm not going to give my, I'm not going to get his speech. I'm about to give another one. So.

So then we, you know, we then leave the trade hotel. We go to, you know, Landmark Live is where we had the event. And I'm just sitting backstage and I mean, and it's funny because like I got, you know, they gave me a makeup artist and all this. And so like, as emotional as I want it to be, and I'm like, I just can't cry because I don't want it.

You know, but I mean when you when you I mean the amount of tears the amount of joy, I mean It was it was it was in that moment. It was just like I can't believe we did what we just did and I mean even I mean for three days straight Michelle every half hour tears came down you know because

I know what I went through and what people went through for me to enjoy this moment, for us to enjoy this moment. I think about my mother, you know, and, you know, that's one of the things when me and my aunt was talking about this morning, when they were calling me Governor Crowley when I was six, seven years old. And, you know. Wait, what? Yeah. Tell us about that real quick. I missed this. You just worked it like everybody's like, wait, what happened? So, so.

You know, I always joke with my family, but it's real but they spoke this into me They spoke this into me and so when I was about six seven years old my aunt Auntie Tina She used to host all of our family gatherings Christmas Thanksgiving Easter you name it when there was a family gathering and we were barbecuing we were eating we were at her house And so when I was about six seven years old I was the kid who wanted to serve everybody

I wanted to take out the garbage. I wanted to do the dishes. I wanted to, like, you know, this is my family. I wanted to give back to them. And so, and we were just talking about it literally right before I came into here. She's like, I don't even know where it came from. And I said, and I told her, I said, it used to be a sitcom where there was a butler who used to serve everybody. He used to say, hello, Gubna. And so Benson, Benson. And so as a kid,

They used to just say that because I was being the butler. I was just serving everybody. And I still remember to the day that when I had an opportunity to get involved in politics to work for West Fine Goat, never thought that I would anything like that. I called one of my youngest cousins and I remember when I called him about the opportunity, he said, well, how else are you going to become governor? And and and so, you know, so so all of this, you know, like my mother, me becoming the county executive. And the first thing she said is you can't be like Scott Walker. You got to go back to school. I just saw that.

that post, you know, because that jacket you had on, I was trying to figure out what that jacket because it looked like it was like a C and two B's or something. You made a post about getting your education and that your mom, you didn't want to be one, you know, the last three, but I cracked up because I said, yeah, he's like, I want to be like Skywalker. I said, I don't say another name. I'm like, OK, but I just saw that video last night. I just saw it. And so your mom tells you like,

You got to finish your education like that. Oh, absolutely. You can't be the governor. Yeah. And you don't you don't make that. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. So, so, you know, so for my family, you know, the Crowley side of my family, my mom's side is the Ivy side. OK. And Greek side and all of them, they're like, it's just so ecstatic, you know, and, you know, my everybody is just so proud and like, you know, it's still again, it's still surreal, but.

Again, my thing is this I didn't run, you know to to make history, right? But I I want to make sure that This door that is open for me stays open for others to come right behind I think that you know, Stacey Abrams when she talked about her her historic runs and people talk about you know, like a Lot of that work that path was paved for Keisha to come through Yeah, because a lot of the organizing mechanisms have been put in place and Stacey when I interviewed her

who was when she was here stopping for you. You know, first thing she did, she pulled me to the side. She was hugging me on the way out the door. She was like, make this happen. You know, because other people got to see what's possible. And there's a great commercial and I can't think of the woman's name, but this little African American boy, it went viral. And I don't know if Keith has played for you, his granddaughter, Kennedy.

Talking about why they got a vote for David Croy. It is and then he found a picture of you and Kennedy when she was like a year old. Wow. So he got to share it with you. But this little boy says he tells his mom, you know, we got to vote because whoever this legislator is, she's a doctor who just got elected. He said, we got to vote for the doctor. Like why? Because she's going to lower our prices and she's going to make sure we our bills are that high. And.

So his mother's recording this whole thing and his mother posted the legislators or the woman who's running for office sees it. She ends up contacting the mom. They called a little boy. And so while she's talking to him, she says, so what do you want to be? He said, the president. There you go. And that's there is a side by side photo of you that somebody put up of you. It looks like you might have been at Urban Underground sitting on a desk or something. Got your hat turned to your back and then they got you in this suit.

And I'm like, that needs to be in every classroom in the city of Milwaukee. You know, that needs to be your official governor photo because what it will do to inspire our kids, man. And so, you know, we I got one minute. I see I'm coming, Jonathan, but.

I know you have talked about the fact that I'm here to make history, you know, in terms of getting rid of a lot of these issues that have plagued our communities for years. But we're not going to be lost in the moment of what this means. Because you have, I mean, it was like when we talked about there were a generation of children that grew up that only knew a black president. Yeah. Like, what you mean, black folks can be president because they grew up during the era of Obama and for eight years.

Okay, you know second third grade. That's all they knew and so I just want to say you know on behalf of this community like you are absolutely right. This is our win People are so incredibly proud and not just because you know an African-American has ascended to this level They are they are proud of you They are happy for you. Yeah, you know, they're happy for your family, but because you're a good brother

You know, a decent brother before I go. I just want to say thank you. It's not just you, Michelle, but the entire WNOV family to everybody here in the city because y'all have had my back. Y'all lifted me up when I was in some low positions and like never gave up on me. And when I think about even even with the vote totals, we we we got more votes than Obama.

in the city of Milwaukee. Are you serious? Yes. I have not looked at the numbers like that. We got 85% of the vote in the city of Milwaukee. That's madness. That's madness. I know at our ward, we at ward 117, 118. Oh yeah, you was 90% strong up in your baby. And I will tell you, the universe has a way of speaking to you because I remember when I went to go vote, it was like 7.30 in the morning and had to be in line, right? Now I just got elected as the 47th, you know, governor.

I was number 47 when I went to go vote. That's right, you did say that when you were here. That's wow.

You know, so, you know, so look, we can't talk because like now I got to respect the staff. You don't count because the staff is now who calls the shots and you you literally gonna get used to saying I just go where they tell me. I gotta move when they say I gotta move. So I'm gonna respect that time. But when I tell you it means the world that you came through here this morning, unsolicited on your own. That says a lot about what type of brother you are and man, you're about to be.

in this government as well. We are proud of you, young man. Thank you. We are proud of you. Love y'all. Love all of y'all. I couldn't have done it without you. Look, Clark's about to cry over here. He's just cheesing down. We are proud of you. All right, y'all. Send him out of here, Jermaine. I need a song. I need a song. Well, we got one. We got one. What you got? What you got? We got one.

Hey man, I'm serious about that theme music too, man. I want to be that band. So there is some conversations being had about theme music. So I'm going to make sure you get to, you know, I know, I think Eric Gowdy and Brandon Washington, Wavey Boy, and then I think Joe Brown and may have done some stuff. So they told me, I haven't heard anything yet.

So all right, but until we get the song play the song well, you know we gotta let him know Keep our state lifted up in prayer

that helped get this brother across the finish line. Young Daryl, Gary, Keith. What's the big head boy that looks just like you? Kyle. Love y'all, young brothers. Y'all love y'all. Y'all did the damn thing. They did the thing. Jonathan ain't getting no love from me. I just see the state police coming through the door. He ain't getting no love. All right, y'all.

Let me take a break. I'll be right back. All right, family, welcome back to the show. So you heard it. We had the opportunity to speak to Governor elect David Crawley and.

I'm going to just tell you that already I noticed the difference, you know. I don't think in my entire four year career that I have interviewed Tony Evers in my entire four year. I don't think so. I don't think so. If I did, I don't remember it. Now, let me be clear. I have a great relationship with a member of his team. Let me just say Zach.

Madden is one of the baddest things moving in that office in terms of being responsive and getting information and keeping people looped in and He's done that, you know while we were in the Senate and he's done that since I've left the Senate in terms of if I have questions or need information Extremely extremely helpful when I tell you is some folks, you know, you you you you

you know that these people are in it for the right reasons. But I gotta be honest, I have not. And Tony Evers is important in that he was the one that appointed Lena to be a judge. And then ultimately she, you know, ran successfully on her own and was elected to the position. But he opened that door. He created that pathway. But it's something different about having

this individual be from Milwaukee. Be connected and having roots here in this community. Excuse me. And also that I think it's going to be evident that Milwaukee doesn't become just a stop that we continue

To be included because there are some people you know when folks get on They tell you lose my phone number My address and change my friends have changed, you know my My circle has has grown differently and I think that David The county executive David Crawley governor elect David Crawley

was sending a very deliberate and definitive message this morning. I will not forget who I am. Where I came from. The people that sent me. And that's a whole lot to read into a 30 minute visit to the radio station. But if you remember, this is where he started his campaign.

He came here and told family first and He called us first and said Let me come through and just you know, sit down for a few minutes. So I Appreciate it. There are people that I tell you You got to understand a how to play this game

But it's different when you realize that some folks they're not really playing. This is just who they are. And. Again, I'm going to invoke Cavalier Johnson. Because. No matter what kind of grief I have given Chevy. Going back to when he and Lena were in the race against one another, when I say Chevy has been responsive.

and has made what happens over here a priority if it's nothing for no other reason than to shut me up. But I genuinely appreciate and respect people who whether it is strategic, whether it is legit, whether it's just who you are, but you don't forget this community. You don't forget the people who sent you. You don't forget the people who was riding with you when nobody gave a damn about you.

You you don't forget those people and And this this this is this this was this was huge this morning. It's just no way around it. I Wish I would downplay it. It was huge this morning that he his team that people had the foresight to say get to NOV before all of this get crazy There's somebody on the phone line. Let's go to the phone line. Hey, caller. What's happening?

Good morning, Michelle. Good morning. And yeah, good morning. You know, good morning, right? Morning, Clark Kent. Morning, Debo. Morning, Milwaukee. Tyrone W speaking. Morning, Dr. Ward. Dr. Ward got in. All right. Well, you know, I don't feel bad about it, but not me, because I've been on several occasions. But, uh, County Executive, Governor Elect.

Congratulations to you and the victory in your family. I basically just wanted to, you know, get in here this morning and congratulate you and let you know that I know you were talking about the list of applicants who have to come through now. Am I coming through pretty clearly? Yeah, we got you. But I just want to say, you know, and the names are getting away. I'm 68 now. So the names, the one that stuck out mostly was Francesca Holmes.

But the other two did well to the the boy from Madison there the Caucasian fellow the European and the Caucasian woman The names are getting away from it, but you know, she cried at her concession party there But but anyway, they are if you have any kind of room or if you can make any kind of way for any I hope he's still listening in the vehicle Especially Francesca hung but the others as well if you you know, you're looking for people to work with you know those

A lot of the things that she talked about, you know, moving forward for all of us there, to have a strong cabinet there, whoever you want to appoint and all that, that's a good place to start, though, you know, and people that apply and all that stuff, you know, to make sure that you, you know, get in your way through that. After inauguration day moving forward, Francesca Hung should most certainly be a part of your team and those others that feel they want to, you know, be with you as well.

Man, what the crickets got to do with it, man? They don't think give us any patience. Man, get the lead out, man. Get real. They don't think give us any patience. Get the lead out, man.

Francesca would be a big selection for you. Thank you, Tarot. Appreciate the call, bro. I couldn't take it. Tell me something about Tarot W. Get the lead out man.

Everybody can get it. That's what I can tell people. Y'all don't understand black folks. We do that kid. Yo, grandma can get it. My mama can get it. And I know she can still slap me. We was on vacation and my son and his family was there.

My grandson did something that I told him about. I roughs to do. My grandson had tears in his eyes. What's up? He was like, for real, mom? This is how you gonna do the baby? I was like, oh, you forgot? Oh, now you got your own. So you think the rules are to fly to him? Everybody can give you. Let me go.

I love you, Tyrone. You know I love you. But get the lead out there. I was at a heart attack laughing at you. Let me go to the phone line. Hey, Carl, what's happening? Good morning. And congratulations on your interview this morning with the governor. Good morning. Thank you. But I've been meeting for the last, maybe, six weeks with a guy. And every day, we have a conversation that we always say,

Man, you like to hear yourself talk. You like to hear yourself talk. You talk too much. And I just now understand what he was saying, because you just like to hear yourself talk. You wouldn't let the man say nothing. You just haven't just just talking. That's what I do myself. That's what they were open and talking about. But anyway, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, because there's a difference. This is a talk show.

I'm not here to just listen. I'm here to talk. I get paid to talk. You just be talking to hear yourself talk. Ain't nobody paying you to talk. I get paid to talk. Okay, we'll check this out. I really wanted to ask the governor though. Get on my nerves. Listen, I really want to ask the governor. I gotta play that clip. That means I ain't gonna let nobody upset me. Mm-hmm. Uh-uh. I ain't gonna match this energy. But let me ask you a question then. What is it? I wanted to ask the governor a question about that 400 year deal. What is his plans for that?

because he ain't going to have no house in five to media. But anyway, we've got to get that from that. And I want to ask the question, what do you think about the B.A. that the B.S.A. I mean, I never heard you bring that up. What's your view on that? Well, what do you want me to say about it? I mean, are you going to agree with that or? It doesn't matter to me. Everybody gets to do what they want to. That's the great part about being in America. Come on now. Come on now. There is no come on now. There is no come on now.

There's no come on now. Now, you know, but you're not asking that question. It's exactly what it's exactly what it means. It's exactly what it means. I have no problem with DSA. People get to practice and do whatever they want to. They do. They do your stance here. And I would like to know what the governor's stance is. Why? Why does it matter? Why does it matter?

You say one thing, you say that this was the first stop for him. And I appreciate that. And he came back home and he took right away. He addressed it. But remember this, Michelle, and I want everybody listening. The first should be last and the last should be first. So we ain't got nothing coming, babe. That's not true. That's not true. And you know it's not true.

You know, it's not true as he watches those two little black girls play in that governor's residence as he talks to his baby That is a way at college right now as he looks in the face of his beautiful black wife That young man is not going to forget the reasons why he is in that office. I never said he's going to forget We won't be last we won't be last but this is the other thing

It is our job to make sure that we're not last. It's not just for him. How do we do that? We've been having a problem doing that all these years. What's going to make a difference? The same way we figure out how to hold other people accountable or the way we should be working to hold people accountable, but that's on us. That's on us. People will do for us what we demand of them. We do what I said. The first should be last and the last should be first. No, and what I said, do the damn work. I'm hoping good. Do the work.

Do the work. Do the work to get whatever it is you're trying to get. Do the work. What are we trying to get? You know what? No, we don't even know what you're trying to get. Check this out. So if he's going to use that the first to be last and last to be first, that's fine because it was a point in time that we were last. Now is our time to be first. So that's cool. If you're going to use that scripture.

it can be used in both ways. So even if we was last, guess what? We first now. But again, faith without work is there. So you got to do your part. Did he have that same question when the Republicans? No, I mean, this the man who told everybody to get on the Trump train knowing that the train was running us over. It's time to go. You know, it's like, come on, man, you can always figure out a way to drop your brand of special.

It's just so sad, man. Just be in the moment for a second. So I will get on with the rest of the show tomorrow. I'm going to get out of here today.

Yeah, that's a wrap for the show today. Good day. Y'all bros. I appreciate y'all. Appreciate you. Family. I'll talk to y'all tomorrow. Peace.
