• 1:17
  planned for you guys today, so just sit back and
• 1:19
  enjoy yourselves. Before I dive into it, though, however, I
• 1:23
  think it's important that I go ahead and address the
• 1:27
  elephant in the room. The last time that you guys
• 1:30
  heard my voice was back in May May twenty fourth,
• 1:34
  to be exact, and since that particular time, I'm quite
• 1:38
  sure that there is a large group of you out
• 1:41
  there that have been asking the million dollar question, where
• 1:44
  have you been? It's been over two months since the
• 1:48
  last time we heard any of your political commentary, So
• 1:51
  where have you been? Let me go ahead and give
• 1:54
  you guys the answer to that particular question. It's not
• 1:58
  like I haven't been one to sit behind this microphone
• 2:01
  and talk politics with you guys. I have, But we've
• 2:05
  gotten to a point in America. I don't know how
• 2:08
  it is when it comes to the rest of the world,
• 2:11
  but it's gotten to a point where here in America,
• 2:14
  when it comes to talking politics, it becomes very exhausting
• 2:19
  when you're someone who does not identify with either one
• 2:23
  of the two major political parties that make up the
• 2:25
  American political system. For those of you who are listening
• 2:29
  to this for the very first time. Let me make
• 2:31
  something abundantly clear out the gate. I'm not a Democrat,
• 2:36
  I'm not a Republican. I can't stand either political party.
• 2:40
  I don't think that either political party is doing enough
• 2:44
  to put the best interest of Americans at the forefront,
• 2:48
  because if they were, some of the problems that we're.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Experiencing, we would not be experiencing.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to break down some of those problems
• 2:56
  throughout the course of this episode. So if you're someone
• 2:59
  who's listen this expecting a Democratic lean, you're gonna be
• 3:03
  sorely disappointed. If you're someone who's listening to this and
• 3:06
  you're expecting a Republican lean, similarly, you will be quite
• 3:10
  disappointed because I am not going to be the person
• 3:15
  it's going to use this platform to cheer lead for
• 3:18
  either political party, because they are the main reason while
• 3:23
  we're in this mess politically that we're in. And it
• 3:27
  becomes very, very alarming when you see so many people
• 3:32
  who are so convinced that when they go vote this
• 3:35
  November in the mid terms, and if their particular party wins,
• 3:39
  that everything will magically get better overnight. You have the
• 3:42
  Republicans who are trying to hold onto the House and
• 3:45
  the Senate, who believe that if they can maintain their
• 3:48
  control over both chambers of Congress and November, that everything
• 3:52
  could go swimmingly, that Donald Trump's agenda will continue to
• 3:56
  get pushed through the halls of Congress. On the flip side,
• 4:00
  we have the Democrats who believe that if they take
• 4:02
  control of the House and the Senate that they could
• 4:04
  do the better job for America by making Donald Trump
• 4:07
  a lame duck president. But regardless as to how you
• 4:11
  slice it, things aren't going to get better. So I
• 4:14
  don't use this platform to preach about prosperity coming our
• 4:20
  way when it comes to the political realm of things,
• 4:23
  because you're not going to get prosperity that way. Now,
• 4:26
  there are a few people at the top echeleance of
• 4:30
  this ecosystem that benefits from certain political landscapes being shaped
• 4:36
  the way that they are. But for the majority of us,
• 4:40
  those of us that get up every single day, that
• 4:43
  go to work, that pay our taxes, that are law
• 4:45
  abiding citizens, we are not benefiting from anything that the
• 4:50
  government is doing. Case in point here, Recently, Elon Musk
• 4:57
  became the world's first trillionaire, and most of his wealth
• 5:02
  was a mask wear in the United States by whom
• 5:06
  the same politicians who've made it abundantly clear that they
• 5:10
  can't stand Elon Musk, and I'm referring to the Democrats.
• 5:13
  At one point, Elon Musk was the democrats fan favorite.
• 5:17
  They were the ones that were preaching that everybody needs
• 5:20
  to follow Elon Musk's leave and start investing in the
• 5:24
  electric car movement. And the very second that Elon Musk
• 5:27
  came out in supported Donald Trump, that's when all the
• 5:29
  Democrats say, you know what, we no longer liked that guy.
• 5:32
  They traded in their teslas. They aren't out here preaching
• 5:37
  anything anymore about the electric car movement.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And the same could be said about the Republicans.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: When Elon Musk had his split with Donald Trump, they
• 5:45
  basically went down the same path that the Democrats went down.
• 5:49
  Voicing their frustration with Elon Musk said, I knew there
• 5:52
  was something about that guy.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I didn't like.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: He came in here and made it seem like he
• 5:57
  had Donald Trump's best interests at hard and look at him,
• 5:59
  he's nothing. But among other things that they decided to
• 6:03
  coin Elon Musk, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Peter till the
• 6:10
  list goes on and on and on. Those people are
• 6:14
  the sole beneficiaries of the political system because they're the
• 6:17
  ones that get the political breaks from the same people
• 6:20
  in Washington who claim that they're there to look out
• 6:23
  for the best.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Interests of you and I.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Once again, those of us that get up every day
• 6:28
  go to work, pair of taxes, law abiding. They claim
• 6:32
  that they're fighting for us, but they're trying to make
• 6:35
  sure that the millionaires and the billionaires, and in Elon
• 6:38
  Musk's case, the trillionaire's pockets are lined with as much
• 6:41
  cash as humanly possible. So I am not the person
• 6:47
  that's gonna sit here and cheerlead for either political party,
• 6:53
  because they're the reason why we're in this mess and
• 6:56
  why it seems like every single day it becomes harder
• 6:59
  and harder and harder to climb ourselves out of the
• 7:04
  mess that they've dug us into.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: So I think the.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Appropriate title for today's episode is It's time to hit
• 7:13
  the reset. But that's gonna be that's gonna be the
• 7:16
  title of this episode, Time to hit the reset button,
• 7:19
  because we need to get as many people as humanly
• 7:22
  possible to come and align themselves.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: With what we're doing.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: We need those people to understand that we're not gonna
• 7:32
  vote our way out of this. The only way that
• 7:34
  we're gonna ever see substantial change in this country away
• 7:38
  from the political system is if we start a revolution
• 7:43
  that's so big that it can't be ignored. Because a
• 7:47
  few people raising their voice in opposition to the government
• 7:50
  is not gonna be enough. But if you get millions
• 7:53
  upon millions of people saying, you know what, We're no
• 7:56
  longer gonna take this bs from this government, then and
• 7:59
  only then will they say, you know what, maybe it
• 8:03
  is time for us. And if they do this, it'll
• 8:07
  a shocked the hell out of me, But I don't
• 8:08
  really think that they ever will. But maybe then they'll say,
• 8:11
  you know what, maybe it's time for us to start
• 8:13
  taking our constituency a little bit more serious because they're
• 8:18
  upset with us because we're not getting anything done. So
• 8:23
  that's just the little teaser that I wanted to provide
• 8:26
  for you guys, because it's been a long time since
• 8:29
  I've sat behind this microphone and talked politics with you guys.
• 8:33
  So once again, for the umpteeth time. If you're expecting
• 8:38
  this show to lean one way or the other, you're
• 8:40
  going to be sorely mistaken by the time you get
• 8:44
  done listening. If you make it all the way through.
• 8:46
  Once again, I have a lot that I want to
• 8:49
  talk about. A lot has happened since the last time
• 8:52
  I got a chance to talk to you, guys. Lindsey
• 8:54
  Graham passed away earlier this month.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: There have been, especially on the Republican side, a lot
• 9:05
  of them echoing the same talking point that we should
• 9:11
  not be so nasty in our commentary about the death
• 9:17
  of Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham was Donald Trump's chief war cheerleader.
• 9:28
  If you want an abbreviation for that, he was Donald
• 9:30
  Trump c w C chief war cheerleader. Lindsey Graham never
• 9:37
  saw a war that he didn't like. Lindsey Graham was
• 9:42
  always itching for the United States to get involved in
• 9:45
  some kind of conflict, especially one that benefited Benjamin that
• 9:50
  Yahoo and the government of Israel. So to all the
• 9:56
  conservatives out there who want people to be a little
• 10:01
  bit more respectful in their dialogue about Lindsey Graham's death,
• 10:05
  let's be honest with ourselves. We have a president in
• 10:08
  the White House right now that anytime that somebody dies
• 10:12
  that he doesn't like, he goes on his true social
• 10:15
  platform and says some of the most disgusting things about
• 10:18
  these people. We all remember what he said when Robert
• 10:22
  Mother passed away. We all remember what he said when
• 10:25
  Rob Reiner passed away. We all remember the things that
• 10:28
  he said about John McCain when he passed away, and
• 10:31
  when John McCain was living. So let's not try to
• 10:35
  sit here and act like the guy who is the
• 10:39
  most powerful man in the world right now has not
• 10:42
  said nasty and vicious things about people when they pass away.
• 10:47
  But when it comes to Donald Trump and the nasty
• 10:49
  things that he says about people, it always gets defended
• 10:52
  as well.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: That's just who he is. Donald Trump's a straight shooter.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: He's not the type of person that's gonna hold his
• 10:59
  tongue about anything. But yet when someone else comes out
• 11:03
  and says something derogatory about Lindsey Graham, then conservatives seem
• 11:08
  to have a bit of a problem with that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: You can't say that about him.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: He's dead. You don't speak ill of the dead. Here's
• 11:14
  how I look at that notion. If you don't want
• 11:19
  anybody saying anything negative about you when you die. Don't
• 11:23
  be such a negative person when you're alive. You want
• 11:28
  to be remembered fondly in death, but you never did
• 11:31
  anything fundly in life that would cause people to look
• 11:35
  upon you fondly when you die.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And that sums up Lindsey Graham perfectly.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: The same Lindsey Graham that seemed to have had a
• 11:46
  spine in twenty fifteen in his opposition to Donald Trump.
• 11:54
  The same Lindsey Graham who seemed to have lost that
• 11:57
  spine when Donald Trump became pressed and pretty much put
• 12:01
  his golden stamp of approval over the Republican Party or
• 12:05
  his golden cloud over the Republican Party. And yet this
• 12:11
  is the same guy that everybody on the conservative side
• 12:17
  wants everybody to say something nice about. I can't join
• 12:21
  in on that. There is too much blood on Lindsey
• 12:25
  Graham's hands for me to look at him and say
• 12:28
  what a true American hero he was.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham was Establishment Washington to its core.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham is one of those people that, when Donald
• 12:41
  Trump ran for president the first time, made up the
• 12:46
  swamp that Donald Trump swears up and down that he's
• 12:49
  fighting every single day. When's the last time you think
• 12:53
  Donald Trump actually was fighting the swamp. I'll answer that
• 12:57
  question never. Donald Trump has never, I ever made it
• 13:00
  his primary mission to fight the deep state corruption in Washington.
• 13:04
  Why because I said it in one of the early
• 13:07
  episodes of this podcast that Donald Trump is a part
• 13:09
  of the same swamp that he claims he's fighting. How
• 13:14
  the hell are you gonna fight something that you're a
• 13:16
  part of. If you're somebody corrupt, you're not gonna be
• 13:21
  too quick to want to go after corruption because you
• 13:23
  know that if you go after that corruption, it could
• 13:25
  bring you down too. Donald Trump understands that if he
• 13:28
  goes after the swamp in Washington, some of those same
• 13:31
  swamp creatures or bring him down. Lindsey Graham was a
• 13:36
  swamp creature. And I make no bones when I say,
• 13:41
  and I mean absolutely nothing. I feel no amount of
• 13:47
  remorse for saying that I didn't have the strongest positive
• 13:52
  opinion of Lindsey Graham when he was alive. So why
• 13:55
  would I try to sit here and fake like I
• 13:56
  have the strongest, most, utmost support for him? Now in depth,
• 14:02
  do you every thing Lindsey Graham lost an ounce of
• 14:05
  sleep with all the innocent people that the United States
• 14:09
  have killed in wars that he wanted.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Us to fight in.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And we're supposed to have some decorum about ourselves when
• 14:18
  it comes to how we're supposed to feel about him dying.
• 14:25
  If you want to be remembered fondly in death, you
• 14:29
  have to at least live a life that people can
• 14:33
  look back on and say, man, that was a pretty fond,
• 14:36
  fond life that.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: He lived, so to speak.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Republican senators, miss McConnell has been out of
• 14:48
  commission for nearly two months, if my memory serves me correct,
• 14:53
  and there have been calls for miss McConnell to either
• 14:58
  do a press conference, do an inner, have you something
• 15:00
  to prove that he's still alive. Now, most MAGA Republicans
• 15:07
  don't care if Lindsey Graham has transitioned over into the afterlife.
• 15:14
  They became fed up with Miss McConnell during his time
• 15:17
  and sent a majority leader, especially after what happened at
• 15:20
  the Capitol on January sixth, to twenty twenty one. But
• 15:24
  here's the thing, Miss McConnell, to me, is the same
• 15:32
  type of person that Lindsey Graham was spineless. All the
• 15:37
  things that Miss McConnell stood for early in his career
• 15:40
  seemed to have taken a back seat the very minute
• 15:43
  that Donald Trump moved into sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. A
• 15:49
  lot of Republican politicians are spineless, and Miss McConnell, whether
• 15:55
  he's dead or alive, he is not going to be
• 15:59
  looked at favored either. He's not going to be looked
• 16:02
  that fondly either because of the times where he could
• 16:07
  have stood up and bucked Trump and what he wanted
• 16:11
  to do and never chose to all because he was
• 16:15
  scared of what Donald Trump would do. He was scared
• 16:19
  that if he didn't get Trump's endorsement in Kentucky, he
• 16:21
  would lose the Senate seat that he held still holds to
• 16:25
  this day since the nineteen eighties. Miss McConnell is a
• 16:33
  prime example of what it looks like to hold on
• 16:36
  the power for so long, be unwilling to relinquish that
• 16:41
  power for so long that you would rather die in
• 16:48
  office than to say, you know what, maybe it is time.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: For me to give this over to somebody else. Hey.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Miss McConnell has been out of commission for nearly two months.
• 17:01
  Ever since nine one one was dispatched to his home
• 17:06
  in Washington, d C. Where it was reported that he
• 17:10
  suffered a medical emergency, and then the other day he
• 17:14
  released a statement pretty much saying that he had suffered
• 17:18
  a fall, and then while he was in the hospital,
• 17:20
  he contracted pneumonia. He's in a rehabilitation center, and there's
• 17:23
  gonna come a point in time where he's gonna be
• 17:25
  able to return to the Senate. And then you have
• 17:29
  Andy Butsher, the governor of Kentucky, basically issuing Mitch mccollin
• 17:35
  ultimatum either produce.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Signs of life or resign.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Now, the reason why Republicans don't want Mitch McConnell to
• 17:44
  resign is because they're afraid of whomever could possibly take
• 17:50
  over that seat. Now, I'm not sure how it works
• 17:54
  in Kentucky, but I think it works the same way
• 17:56
  there like it does here in Mississippi, where if that
• 17:59
  were to happen, and the governor would appoint someone to
• 18:02
  that seat until the special election could be held. And
• 18:05
  we all know, given the fact that Andy Basher is
• 18:08
  a Democratic governor, that he probably picked someone who's a
• 18:11
  Democrat to fill that seat until the special election could
• 18:14
  be held, But how much is it really worth to you,
• 18:22
  Mitch Macon, to hold onto that power for so long?
• 18:25
  Where you say, you know what, I don't want to resign.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I don't care how bad my health gets.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I want to stay in this seat until I take
• 18:32
  my last breaths.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: And so many people are.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Of the opinion that he's probably already taken his last breath.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: But it's just. And yet we wonder why.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: And I've heard so many people say this on so
• 18:50
  many different occasions, And yet we wonder why this country
• 18:54
  has not progressed forward while we still seem to be
• 18:58
  stuck in so many backward periods because we have too
• 19:03
  many politicians who have not been able to adapt to
• 19:07
  where we're at in twenty twenty six. And you have
• 19:11
  politicians in Washington who are in their nineties. I think
• 19:14
  Chuck Grassley is ninety ninety one something like that. Miss
• 19:18
  McConnell is pushing ninety. Donald Trump is eighty or eighty one,
• 19:25
  something like that. And yet they still think that they
• 19:30
  know what's best for the American people, and it shows
• 19:35
  every single day that they don't. But it's time for
• 19:40
  missch McConnell to give it up now. I know that
• 19:43
  he's chosen not to run for reelection, So somebody's gonna
• 19:47
  get his seat again anyway next year, or someone's gonna
• 19:52
  be sworn in next year to you know, take over
• 19:55
  his seat. But if he's not physically fit or mentally
• 20:00
  fit to do the job, than relinquish the duty. I mean,
• 20:06
  you've already lost out on a chance to be remembered
• 20:08
  honorably by both sides of the aisle. To tell the truth,
• 20:13
  Republicans don't like you anymore. Democrats never liked you from
• 20:16
  the beginning. So what are you necessarily holding on to
• 20:19
  as it pertains to legacy.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Nobody likes you, so give it up while you still can't.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe you will get some browning points from people if
• 20:33
  you chose to do that, but not many, especially not
• 20:39
  from me. I've been doing a lot of thinking here
• 20:48
  lately about where we're going as a nation, and once again,
• 20:56
  I'm not here to paint a rosy picture. I'm here
• 20:59
  to tell the truth, and that's what we're about to
• 21:02
  do right now. I don't know if you guys have noticed,
• 21:10
  but things don't seem to be getting better. Inflation still
• 21:17
  seems to be on the rise, gas prices are on
• 21:20
  the rise. We know why, is becoming more and more
• 21:27
  and more unaffordable.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: To obtain a home.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Energy prices continue to soar, Young people continue to be
• 21:37
  burdened by student loan debt, and it just seems like
• 21:43
  the politicians in Washington they don't care.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Just let it be.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: We're about to head into some very dark days economically.
• 22:00
  And I don't care how many times Donald Trump comes
• 22:03
  out and talks about how many countries are investing trillions
• 22:07
  of dollars into America and so on and so on.
• 22:10
  I don't care, because the way I look at it,
• 22:14
  how many of those trillions of dollars are going back
• 22:17
  into the pockets of the American people. Remember when he
• 22:20
  first became president the second time around, he talked about
• 22:23
  the two thousand dollars Doze checks that would be going
• 22:26
  out to people because of the savings that Elon Musk
• 22:29
  and Doze went into the government and found, and that
• 22:33
  money would then be dispersed back to the American people.
• 22:36
  And we see that didn't happen, right, It is so
• 22:43
  bad in America today. We're senior citizens who've worked all
• 22:52
  their lives to collect their Social Security are in a
• 22:57
  lot of ways insisting you know what, maybe I'm gonna
• 23:00
  have to go back out into the workforce because my
• 23:04
  Social Security check is not enough to take care of
• 23:07
  me and my needs month after month.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Think about that.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Senior citizens throughout this country who are supposed to be
• 23:19
  enjoying their sunset years of life are now having to
• 23:26
  return to the workforce because the money that they work
• 23:31
  so hard for during their working years is not enough
• 23:34
  to sustain them in their sunset years.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: And there's a very strong belief.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: That if this country doesn't get smarter when it comes
• 23:46
  to money, that Social Security will basically go bankrupt by
• 23:52
  the early twenty thirties. So think about someone my age.
• 23:57
  I'm twenty five years old, turn twenty six in October.
• 24:01
  There's a strong probability that by the time I get
• 24:04
  to be sixty five, there may not be any Social
• 24:07
  Security for people in my generation. Money that's taken out
• 24:13
  of our paychecks every two weeks, or if you're someone
• 24:16
  out there and you get paid every week, same thing,
• 24:20
  that money may not even be available to us to
• 24:23
  collect by the time we turn sixty five because of
• 24:26
  the reckless spending by our government.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: We're pushing. If we're not already there.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I haven't checked the numbers in a long time, but
• 24:36
  we're pushing forty trillion dollars in debt. Every generation that
• 24:43
  comes along finds themselves in a worse position than the
• 24:47
  previous generation. We'll never be able to pay off that debt.
• 24:53
  And it just seems like the politicians don't care. Hey,
• 24:57
  we know that we're almost forty trillion in the whole,
• 24:59
  but we we need a couple billion more for defense.
• 25:04
  We need a couple billion more for this, We need
• 25:06
  a couple billion more for that. We need all this
• 25:08
  money so that way we can keep certain things a
• 25:11
  lot while you have Americans that are basically starving, homeless,
• 25:17
  can afford homes, can afford cars, can't afford gas, canifford groceries,
• 25:21
  can't afford to go to college.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: And yet it just seems like.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: The politicians are just saying, Hey, we know stuff's hard, but.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Gotta deal with it.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Especially Republican politicians. Yeah, they control the House and the Senate,
• 25:40
  control the White House, control the Supreme Court. And their
• 25:44
  attitude is so nonchalant that it makes you wonder do
• 25:51
  they get joy out of seeing Americans struggle? The only
• 25:57
  thing they can bring up is the Big Beautiful Bill
• 25:59
  and the extension another twenty seventeen Trump tax cuts. It
• 26:02
  doesn't matter how much you cut in taxes. It doesn't
• 26:07
  matter how much money you claim people are now being
• 26:12
  able to keep when it comes to their paychecks. Is
• 26:15
  not like they can see it because it's still is
• 26:18
  getting higher and higher to afford to live. So it
• 26:23
  doesn't matter how much money you claim is going back
• 26:26
  into their pockets because it's not like they can put
• 26:30
  that money to the side and save it. Because every
• 26:33
  time you look up, the gas prices are going up,
• 26:36
  grocery prices are going up, Rent's going up, a mortgage
• 26:41
  is going up.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: So what are you necessarily saving in this economy?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Especially if you're someone that works in the retail space,
• 26:56
  you hear it a couple times a day from people
• 26:59
  that come to you and say, man, I remember when
• 27:02
  you could get this for X amount of dollars, I
• 27:04
  remember when this was nothing but twenty five cent, or
• 27:07
  I remember when this was a dollar, And you look
• 27:11
  at him, you empathize with him, but you also understand that, hey,
• 27:17
  we're just as upset about these prices as.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: You guys are.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: We have to get smarter with our economics, and I'm
• 27:32
  sorely afraid that that's not going to be the case
• 27:36
  anytime soon, because every time you look around, Donald Trump
• 27:42
  is doing something that gives you pause when you think
• 27:47
  about this is the same guy in twenty twenty four
• 27:50
  that ran on the promise of going into Washington for
• 27:53
  the second time and cutting all this bureaucracy out of
• 27:57
  the government, cutting all this pork the budget, and doesn't
• 28:02
  seem like he's done it. And yet you have so
• 28:07
  many conservatives who continue to try to tell you and
• 28:10
  I that everything's all right.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Just given some time, let Trump cook.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Things may seem bleak right now, but they'll turn around
• 28:20
  for the better here shortly.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: We heard that in twenty twenty five.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Scott Bessen came out in late twenty twenty five and said,
• 28:30
  either by the end of twenty five of our early
• 28:32
  twenty sixty.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Economy is going to turn around.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: How many of you listening to my voice right now
• 28:37
  are actually in agreement that the government that the economy
• 28:40
  has turned around.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I don't see it.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: And I live in one of the cheapest states in
• 28:49
  the country, and Mississippi is one of the cheapest, if
• 28:53
  not the cheapest state to live in in the entire country,
• 29:01
  and you know as bad if here in Mississippi things
• 29:06
  are out of reach financially for people. But it's always
• 29:13
  the same old tired excuse give him time. He's still
• 29:17
  in there fixing Biden's mess. We're nearly six hundred days
• 29:21
  into Donald Trump's second term and Joe Biden is still
• 29:24
  being blamed for the problems that plagued this country. Now,
• 29:31
  I like a lot of you would have been okay
• 29:34
  with the fact if Donald Trump got back in office
• 29:37
  and say, you know what, this thing is a little
• 29:40
  bit harder than I expected to solve, Just give me
• 29:43
  a little bit more time, and that would have been
• 29:45
  a plausible explanation. But see, this guy, with his overly
• 29:50
  stuffed ego, was never gonna come out and say anything
• 29:54
  like that, because he wants you to believe that he's
• 29:57
  this stable genius, that he's this great deal, that he's
• 30:01
  this great facilitator that can get people to bend at
• 30:05
  any point that he wants.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Them to at his back and call.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And yet nothing seems to be getting better, except if
• 30:18
  you're Elon Musk, if you're Peter Till, if you're Jeff Bezos,
• 30:22
  if you're Tim Cook at Apple, or if you're any
• 30:25
  of these governments around the world that Donald Trump has
• 30:28
  played something too. Financially, you're sitting pretty good, but the
• 30:33
  rest of us not so much. When you look up
• 30:38
  and gases four five, six, seven, eight nine dollars a gallon,
• 30:43
  when every time your electric bill comes in the mail
• 30:46
  you open it and is getting higher. When you're damn
• 30:52
  near afraid to send your children to college because of
• 30:55
  how much debt you think they're going to rack up.
• 30:58
  When you want to buy a home, but and then
• 31:00
  you realize the down payment is ten, eleven, twelve times
• 31:03
  more than what you have in your savings. And yet
• 31:08
  this bullshit keeps getting thrown in our face about this
• 31:12
  economy is the hottest economy in the country. That's the
• 31:16
  lie he perpetually tells time and time again. We're the
• 31:19
  hottest country on the face of the earth. Yeah, literally,
• 31:22
  we are the hottest fucking country on the face of
• 31:25
  the earth right now because of if you've stepped outside,
• 31:28
  especially if you live here in the South, if you
• 31:30
  step outside, you'll just start sweating as soon as you
• 31:33
  open the door to your house. Yeah, we're hot in
• 31:36
  that regard, but we're not hot when it comes to
• 31:39
  the economic side of things. I don't know why he
• 31:46
  continues to walk around and pedal that same tired line,
• 31:52
  knowing is not true. Two years ago, our country was dead,
• 31:58
  and in a lot of ways, it's still feels like
• 32:00
  this country is dead now. We just celebrated earlier this month,
• 32:05
  the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this country. And
• 32:07
  I don't know about you guys, but where I live,
• 32:10
  it didn't seem like a lot of people were too
• 32:12
  enthusiastic to celebrate the Fourth of July. Not because they
• 32:15
  didn't want to, but it's very hard to celebrate something
• 32:19
  when you're not enthusiastic about what it is that you're
• 32:23
  supposed to be celebrating.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty years as a nation.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And yet it seemed like that particular Saturday, people were
• 32:36
  just going about their business. There used to be a
• 32:40
  point in time where rarely anything would be open on
• 32:44
  the fourth of July, but that particular Saturday, it seemed
• 32:48
  like everything was open. People were just going about their day.
• 32:53
  I mean, you saw a few grills here and there,
• 32:55
  you saw a few gatherings here and there, but you
• 32:58
  didn't really see a lot of people getting together saying,
• 33:00
  you know what, let's celebrate this because at the rate
• 33:05
  we're going, there's nothing to celebrate about this country. Oh
• 33:11
  that makes you un American. You're not patriotic. You don't
• 33:15
  understand the blessing that you have to be in the
• 33:17
  greatest country on earth. Who said that I was un American?
• 33:24
  Who said that I was unpatriotic? All I'm saying is
• 33:28
  that the true meaning of being an American is calling
• 33:31
  out bullshit when people continue to try to force feed
• 33:33
  it down your throat, knowing that it is not anything
• 33:38
  that they've said that's true.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Call it out like you see it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Stop trying to convince us that this thing is going
• 33:50
  so well, because everybody with sense knows that it's not.
• 33:58
  If we do not get small harder economically, we are
• 34:03
  going to sink, and it's not going to be pretty.
• 34:09
  We already see countries throughout the world saying we don't
• 34:15
  want to use the dollar as a reserve currency anymore.
• 34:19
  Why do you think the Bricks Alliance is so important?
• 34:25
  Because the Bricks Nations are basically saying, look, we can
• 34:29
  do bad by ourselves.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: We can do good by ourselves if.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: We completely act the United States from the global market
• 34:37
  and just depend on ourselves. We think that we could
• 34:40
  be much stronger within ourselves than we ever would be
• 34:45
  if we continue to do business.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: With the United States.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: All of those dollars that are going to be dumped
• 34:56
  back into this country is only going to calls and
• 34:59
  flow the skyrocket, and with inflation continue in the skyrocket,
• 35:05
  things continue to get higher and higher. That causes people
• 35:09
  to then look in other directions when it comes to
• 35:13
  who they think could possibly get them out of the
• 35:16
  situation that they're going to be faced with. That brings
• 35:19
  me to my next point. There is this new movement
• 35:26
  in the American political landscape that for whatever reason, a
• 35:31
  lot of people don't seem to understand. Prominent people. People
• 35:36
  in the media, they don't seem to understand it, particularly
• 35:40
  over at Fox News. So the Democratic Party is having
• 35:44
  a self identification crisis. This is a party that's in
• 35:48
  debt financially, this is a party that doesn't have a
• 35:51
  clear leader. And this is also a party that's having
• 35:54
  to deal with some rebel insurgents from its own ranks.
• 35:59
  The Democratic Party right now is split between two factions,
• 36:03
  your traditional Democrats and your Democratic Socialists. Now we all
• 36:11
  kind of knew that one day socialism was going to
• 36:16
  become mainstream in this country, but I never envisioned that
• 36:22
  it would come from the ranks of the Democratic Party.
• 36:24
  I always thought that if socialism became mainstream, you would
• 36:28
  have socialists that would form their own party and do
• 36:31
  it that way. But the socialists want to take over
• 36:35
  the Democratic Party, and in a lot of ways they're
• 36:37
  doing a pretty good job in their plan coup of
• 36:41
  guys like Chuck Schumer and Haikim Jeffries. This all started
• 36:48
  when Zoron Mumdani was elected mayor of New York City.
• 36:53
  When Zora Mumdani took that job, a lot of people said,
• 36:56
  do not ignore what's coming, because if Mamdani can get
• 37:00
  elected in a city like New York, and if he
• 37:03
  can wield enough influence, he's going to get other Democratic
• 37:07
  socialists elected to mayor's office, city councils, state legislatures, Congress,
• 37:14
  and some even think that a socialist could eventually become
• 37:16
  president of this country.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: One day, a lot.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Of people stood by and said, do not ignore what
• 37:24
  New York City at the time had just done by
• 37:28
  electing Mamdonnie to.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Be the mayor.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: And lo and behold here we are as we approach
• 37:35
  the mid terms, and the Democratic Socialist are the ones
• 37:41
  that seem to have in some ways re energized a
• 37:45
  Democratic Party that fell flat on their face after Kamala
• 37:49
  Harris lost the election in twenty twenty four to Donald Trump.
• 37:53
  So that brings up this very interesting question that I
• 37:55
  don't think a lot of people on the right necessarily
• 37:58
  are grasping. Why are so many people so enticed by
• 38:05
  the messaging coming from the Democratic Socialists.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: To answer that question, you first.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Have to understand what the socialists in the Democratic Party
• 38:13
  are pushing for. They basically want to get rid of prisons.
• 38:18
  They want medicare for all government run grocery stores. They
• 38:24
  want to eliminate the Senate. They want to basically get
• 38:28
  rid of the Supreme Court in the legislative branch altogether
• 38:31
  and just consolidate power to just one branch, the executive branch,
• 38:36
  among a host of other things. The reason why the
• 38:42
  Democratic Socialist message is resonating with so many Americans is
• 38:47
  because so many Americans have gotten to the point where
• 38:49
  they've become disillusioned with the traditional Democratic Party. They've become
• 38:53
  disillusioned with the Republican Party. So they want something where
• 38:58
  it feels like they can be heard, and they feel
• 39:02
  like the socialists within the Democratic Party are the ones
• 39:05
  that are hearing them the most. They don't have to
• 39:08
  agree with everything that they're saying, but for the most part,
• 39:10
  they agree with about eighty percent of what the socialists
• 39:13
  in that party are saying. Now here's where the hypocrisy
• 39:17
  comes in.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Most people.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: That are in the top echelons of the democratic socialist
• 39:26
  wing of the party or white, blue collar college educated people.
• 39:37
  But yet they're talking to people who are not white,
• 39:42
  college who are not college educated, and who are not
• 39:46
  white for the most part. So how in the hell
• 39:52
  do you think that these people can relate to you
• 39:55
  on a sub human level if they can't even even
• 40:00
  identified with what you've gone through in your life. I mean,
• 40:05
  if you've never been to college and yet you have
• 40:08
  this college educated person coming to you talking about they
• 40:12
  understand the burden of student loan debt, you look at
• 40:16
  them and say, well, I mean, of course you do.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I mean you went I didn't, you know. But I
• 40:23
  don't think.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: That people in the Republican Party really understand that this
• 40:32
  socialism thing would have never bubbled to the surface. If
• 40:37
  what is being perceived as capitalism was still benefiting the
• 40:45
  large swath of the American public.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Socialism not socialism.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Capitalism, and I guess you could throw socialism into this
• 40:54
  as well. Neither one really benefits the average American worker
• 41:00
  because capitalism today only seems to benefit those like Elon Musk.
• 41:06
  Socialism doesn't benefit anybody because we've never seen it work anywhere.
• 41:13
  Point out one country on the face of the earth
• 41:15
  where socialism or is it's called communism has worked.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: It's never worked.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: But yet you have the Democratic Socialist saying, let us
• 41:25
  experiment with it and we can show you why it
• 41:28
  can work. And we look at them and we say,
• 41:31
  you guys are absolutely batshit crazy. But once again, going
• 41:37
  back to how I started to show off, it doesn't
• 41:41
  matter if you're someone who believes in the messaging of
• 41:45
  the Democratic Socialist or if you're someone who's a Republican
• 41:49
  or a moderate modern traditionalist Democrat, is not gonna matter.
• 41:56
  I mean, both parties have failed the American people. Let's
• 42:02
  just call an ason as in a spade of space.
• 42:04
  Both parties have failed the American people. And it's so
• 42:09
  blatantly obvious Stevie Wonder can see it. But this is
• 42:16
  exactly what you get when you have a group of Americans,
• 42:21
  a large chunk of the American population, that feels that
• 42:25
  neither political party has done a great job addressing their concerns.
• 42:30
  You get people that look over at socialism and say,
• 42:33
  you know, maybe that's not so bad. Let's give it
• 42:36
  a try, and let's.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: See what he can do for us.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: So, instead of focusing all your ire on Zoram Mamdana,
• 42:44
  on Abdul Atsayed, on the fun woman that's running for
• 42:48
  governor and Wisconsin, instead of focusing your ire on them,
• 42:54
  focus your ire on yourself for not producing for the
• 42:58
  American people what you said you're going to produce that
• 43:01
  was going to keep them away from where we find
• 43:04
  ourselves currently on the cusp of a large group of
• 43:10
  socialists making their way into the halls of Congress. Don't
• 43:16
  blame them. Look in the mirror, be retrospective in how
• 43:22
  you approach this. And before you point your finger, always
• 43:27
  remember that there are three point back at you. So,
• 43:34
  speaking of the Democratic Socialist and speaking of the midterms,
• 43:42
  the Republican sure as hell seemed to be in a
• 43:45
  uproar right now. Because they're trying to work vigorously to
• 43:54
  get the Save America Act passed in time for the midterms.
• 44:02
  For those of you who live your life and you're
• 44:05
  not concerned with what's going on in politics, let me
• 44:08
  give you a brief synopsis as to what the Save
• 44:12
  America Act is and what it possibly could do if
• 44:16
  it's ever in acting. So, the Save America Act is
• 44:21
  this bill that is supposed to secure our elections. You
• 44:28
  would need to have proof of citizenship as well as
• 44:32
  a photo ID or probably a possibly a burstatif gever
• 44:36
  I remember correctly, to register to vote. You would need
• 44:41
  a photo ID to go vote, and it would basically
• 44:46
  force states to hurry to hell up when it comes
• 44:50
  to counting the votes. Now, once again, I live in
• 44:55
  the state of Mississippi, and when I was still voting,
• 45:05
  every time you would go to the polling place, it
• 45:06
  didn't matter what election it was. It could be a
• 45:09
  small city, municipal election, or it could be the national elections.
• 45:13
  When you walked into that polling place, you had to
• 45:16
  show a photo ID so that way they could identify
• 45:19
  your name on the voter road. Now, that's not how
• 45:22
  it is everywhere. California is not strict when it comes
• 45:26
  to their voting laws. Most Blue states are not strict
• 45:28
  when it comes to their voting laws. Most Red states
• 45:32
  are pretty strict when it comes to their voter laws.
• 45:36
  So the Republicans in the Senate, they're trying to do
• 45:41
  their best to get this thing passed.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: You have some of them.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's up to fifteen Republican senators who've already
• 45:48
  pledged that they would not take an August recess so
• 45:52
  that way they can stay in Washington to get this
• 45:55
  thing done. They've even tried to get this thing packaged
• 46:01
  into the big reconciliation bill so that way it could
• 46:05
  pass much easier. Here's what I have to say about
• 46:12
  this whole Save America Act fight.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: When you don't trust the people running.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: For office, what difference will it make how secure the
• 46:24
  elections are? Just let that question sink in for a second.
• 46:29
  When you don't trust the people running for office, why
• 46:33
  does it matter how secure the elections are?
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've already.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Basically established the fact that most politicians are nothing but liars.
• 46:43
  They'll say whatever they have to say to get your vote,
• 46:46
  and then once they're in office, they completely forget about
• 46:49
  the promises they made to you during election time, and
• 46:52
  when it's time to run for reelection, they'll come back
• 46:54
  and tell you, oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about you.
• 46:56
  Give me another term, and I guarantee I'll get to
• 46:59
  your con And by then you've already called onto their drift,
• 47:02
  So you're not gonna give them your support the second
• 47:05
  time around. The Save America Act, it's not gonna change
• 47:13
  the way people feel about elections. Most people have already
• 47:17
  made up their minds that it doesn't matter who you
• 47:19
  vote for, you're still gonna get the same dog and
• 47:22
  pony show thrown in your face every two for six years.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: People have woken up from the political con game that's
• 47:38
  been played.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: On them for a very long time.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: You have a large group of people that have already
• 47:46
  come out and said, hey, you know what when it
• 47:48
  comes to the polling, that they're not interested in voting
• 47:54
  in the midterms because what's gonna change.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: If the Democrats get in there.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's gonna be a lame duck president the final
• 48:02
  two years of his term. If the Republicans can control
• 48:04
  the House in the Senate, things still won't get done
• 48:07
  because you'll still have some of those Republicans that will
• 48:09
  look at Trump's agenda and they'll say they can't get
• 48:11
  on board with it. That's the reason why you have
• 48:14
  so many mag Republicans who want Lisa Murkowski out, who
• 48:17
  want Susan Collins out, who want Tom Tillis even though
• 48:22
  he's already told you he's out anyway out. That's really
• 48:25
  why John Kennedy and not John Kennedy, Bill Cassidy, that's
• 48:28
  why he lost his primary in Louisiana. And that's the
• 48:31
  reason why Donald Trump is trying so hard to get
• 48:33
  Rand Paul out of office, because these people do not
• 48:39
  conform to every whim of the MAGA agenda. And let
• 48:46
  me just say this, since we're talking about those type
• 48:49
  of people, Tom Tillis, John Cornyn, and Bill Cassidy, they're
• 48:59
  the three senators that are on their way.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Out here lately.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Remember earlier in the show, I was talking about Lindsey
• 49:08
  Graham not having a spine. It seems like those three
• 49:11
  senators have found their spine again and they're talking about
• 49:16
  how they can't go along with everything Donald Trump does,
• 49:19
  how they may possibly vote against the reconciliation thing with
• 49:24
  the Save America Act attached to it and how they
• 49:26
  probably are going to vote against Todd blanch becoming the
• 49:28
  Attorney General of this country. They get no pass from me, none, zero,
• 49:37
  zilch none. They get nothing from me when it comes
• 49:42
  to respect the same with Marjorie Taylor Green. You know
• 49:47
  she's now being embraced by certain left wing circles. Why
• 49:54
  as long as Marjorie Taylor Green was in the good
• 49:56
  graces of Donald Trump, you guys couldn't stand her. You
• 50:02
  couldn't stand the ground she walked on. But the minute
• 50:05
  that she came out and spewed all this vile stuff
• 50:09
  about Donald Trump, then that's when you guys wanted to
• 50:11
  welcome her into the folk. Why Marjorie Taylor Green should
• 50:17
  not be celebrated for having an epiphany on Donald Trump.
• 50:21
  Bill Cassidy, John Cornyn, and Tom Tillis should not be
• 50:26
  praised for having epiphanies about Donald Trump. They're all still
• 50:32
  a bunch of snakes who will turn in a second
• 50:36
  when it benefits them the most. So spare me with
• 50:44
  all this talk about what the Save America Act can do,
• 50:52
  because our political system is gonna be fucked up, regardless
• 50:55
  if there's cheating or not. And I hate to be
• 50:58
  that kind of person, but with the way that I feel,
• 51:01
  it's the only way I know how to phrase it,
• 51:03
  We're still gonna be fucked up. Eighty percent of the
• 51:09
  American people want secure elections. Yeah, and nearly one hundred
• 51:15
  percent of Americans want politicians actually go to Washington and
• 51:18
  do what they say that they're going to do and
• 51:20
  not be bought off by large companies and political action committees.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Don't get that wish for Phil.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Gotta save the theatrics because it's not working on people
• 51:36
  anymore because people can see right through the bullshit that
• 51:43
  you continue to push down their throats. Speaking of speaking
• 51:52
  of theatrics, earlier this week, doctor ed Anthony Fauci, infectious
• 52:03
  disease doctor for the National Institute of Health, appeared before
• 52:09
  I think he appeared before the Senate Homeland Security Committee,
• 52:13
  something to that effect, the committee.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: That's chaired by ran Paul.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: And prior to appearing before the committee, ran Paul released
• 52:27
  the unredacted diary of doctor Fauci, which basically showed what
• 52:35
  most people already knew.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: That during the time that Fauci.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Was leading the COVID response here in the United States,
• 52:47
  doctor Anthony Faucher was more interested in being a media
• 52:49
  whore than being a doctor that was trying to keep
• 52:55
  the American people safe. Now, I know, like most of
• 53:01
  you that six years ago, at this particular time, it
• 53:04
  was a dark place in this country and you still
• 53:07
  had to unrest from George Floyd's death. COVID was taking
• 53:13
  over every aspect of our lives. Most of us couldn't
• 53:16
  go to work, couldn't go to school, couldn't do anything
• 53:19
  basically but stay home and figure out how to not
• 53:22
  go crazy. And it was Anthony Fauci and President Trump's
• 53:29
  White House at the time that put these measures in
• 53:32
  place that made us, in a lot of ways feel
• 53:35
  like we were about to go batshit crazy.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Now standing six feet.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Apart, wearing the mask, taking the vaccine, all these different
• 53:45
  things that most of us knew were bullshit, But you
• 53:48
  had to play along because if you didn't, depending on
• 53:53
  where you were at, you could lose your job, you
• 53:56
  would lose friends, you would lose family, you would lose
• 53:58
  damn near anything if you didn't play along with the
• 54:02
  COVID games. So Fauci appeared before this Congressional committee and
• 54:11
  he made it abundantly clear from the get go that
• 54:15
  because Rand Paul had a personal vendetta against him, that
• 54:20
  he was not going to answer a single question posed to.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Him by the senators.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: And when it was all said and done, doctor Anthony
• 54:30
  Fauci played the Fifth Amendment one hundred and eleven times
• 54:38
  throughout that test, throughout that hearing. I am not here
• 54:44
  to condone anything that Anthony Fauci did during his time
• 54:48
  leading the coronavirus response, But I'm also not here to
• 54:54
  condone what took place in that hearing room, because let's
• 55:01
  be honest, that entire hearing was theatrical. There was nothing
• 55:05
  that you could have looked at that came out of
• 55:07
  that hearing and said, man, I'm sure glad that they
• 55:10
  held that meeting. I'm sure glad that they held Anthony
• 55:14
  Fauci's feet to the fire because they did. It was
• 55:18
  all theatrical. Let's be real, Anthony Fauci is never gonna
• 55:23
  go to jail for anything that he did. Sorry to
• 55:29
  say it, Maga, but it's just the truth. Anthony Fauci
• 55:32
  is never gonna go to jail. Anthony Fauci, similar to
• 55:36
  Lindsey Graham, has blood on his hands of the millions
• 55:43
  of people that either died from COVID or died from
• 55:48
  the vaccine that they took that was promised to keep
• 55:52
  them safe from the actual virus. And let's not forget
• 55:59
  the people who became vaccine injured.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: From that JAB.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: The people who took the JAB because if they didn't,
• 56:10
  they would lose their livelihood, they would be unable to
• 56:13
  feed their family, the students who have to take the
• 56:18
  vaccine if.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: They wanted to go to school, if they wanted to
• 56:22
  go to college.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: The amount of young people that took the vaccine and
• 56:31
  then later developed mito carditis. That shouldn't in itself be
• 56:36
  enough to send Anthony Fauci to prison for the rest
• 56:39
  of his miserable, fucking life. But we know it's not
• 56:45
  gonna happen. So I don't even know why those senators
• 56:49
  wasted their time sitting there thinking that Anthony Fauci would
• 56:55
  answer their questions because we all kind of knew that
• 56:57
  he wouldn't, I mean, and it just was so appalling
• 57:02
  to see how smug he sat there and he basically
• 57:06
  conducted himself like, Hey, I don't know why you guys
• 57:08
  are asking me these questions. Biden on his way out
• 57:10
  the door, gave me a pardon, so I don't have
• 57:12
  to sit here and answer anything that you guys pose
• 57:14
  to me. So sacrilegious, and I don't mean for this
• 57:22
  to come across as rude, but it has to be said.
• 57:26
  It's people like Anthony Fauci that deserved the burning.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Hell.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not God and I'm not perfect, and we've
• 57:38
  all heard the expression, let he who without sining cast
• 57:41
  the first stone. We're all imperfect people, but unlike Anthony Fauci,
• 57:52
  we don't have millions and millions of people's blood on
• 57:56
  our hands because we misled them during a global pandemic.
• 58:06
  And the thing that made me so upset when I
• 58:10
  was watching Fauci testify, besides the fact that he was
• 58:15
  unwilling to answer any question posed to him, were those
• 58:19
  Republican senators that sat up there and act like Donald
• 58:23
  Trump wasn't the reason why Anthony Fauci became a fucking
• 58:27
  household name. It was Donald Trump who put doctor Deborah
• 58:33
  Burks and Anthony Fauci front center.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: And let them tell.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Us why it was vital to stand six feet apart,
• 58:44
  why it was vital to wear a mask, why it
• 58:47
  was vital to take the vaccine whenever it became available,
• 58:54
  and people act like it.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: Was Joe Biden.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: That came alone and did all that bad stuff with
• 59:05
  the vaccine. If I remember correctly, I don't know. I mean,
• 59:10
  I'm twenty five. I think I still got a pretty
• 59:12
  good mind for my age. If I remember correctly, it
• 59:18
  was Donald Trump who launched Operation Warped Spreed Speed, who
• 59:24
  used the military to distribute the vaccine, because in Donald
• 59:30
  Trump's eyes, all he wanted to do was get the
• 59:32
  virus over so that way he could open back up,
• 59:35
  in his words, the.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: World's greatest economy.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: And don't you think for a second that if Donald
• 59:45
  Trump won the twenty twenty election that he wouldn't have
• 59:47
  done everything in his power to force everybody to take
• 59:51
  that vaccine so that way he could open back up
• 59:53
  the economy. And yet that you had so many people
• 1:00:02
  who were so disillusioned that they believed that it was
• 1:00:06
  Joe Biden who was trouncing on their freedoms, when it
• 1:00:11
  was Donald Trump and his administration that put us into
• 1:00:14
  a lockdown. It was his administration the one that told
• 1:00:17
  us to wear a mask. His administration one told Stan
• 1:00:19
  six feet apart. His administration that was so quick to
• 1:00:23
  want to find a vaccine so similarly to Fauci, the
• 1:00:36
  blood of millions of Americans on Donald Trump's hands as well.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: So I just found it.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: So cute to see all those Republican senators up there
• 1:00:50
  and take calling themselves, taking Anthony Faucher the task for
• 1:00:57
  what he did, while simultaneously having selected memory over what
• 1:01:04
  Donald Trump did. Oh but I forgot. You know, anytime
• 1:01:14
  that something goes wrong with Donald Trump, it was the
• 1:01:17
  deep state. They got to him. They plotted and probed
• 1:01:22
  to get Anthony Fouch into that position to mislead Donald
• 1:01:25
  Trump so that way he could make.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Him look bad.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is never the person that can look in
• 1:01:34
  the mirror and say, you know what, I messed up?
• 1:01:38
  How many times throughout life you've messed up, and instead
• 1:01:45
  of just blaming somebody else, you just say, you know what,
• 1:01:48
  that was me.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: I made that mistake. I own up to it.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: And that just seems like that's something that Donald Trump
• 1:01:55
  can never do. Donald Trump has never came out and say,
• 1:01:59
  you know what, I was wrong about COVID. I just
• 1:02:04
  wanted to do everything in my power as president to
• 1:02:06
  get the economy back open. It was my fault that
• 1:02:10
  I rushed out of vaccine that injured many and killed others.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: He'll never do that.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Because, as far as he's concerned, wasn't his fault. Think
• 1:02:26
  about what he spent the last few weeks of his
• 1:02:28
  first term consumed with trying his hardest to get the
• 1:02:32
  results of the twenty twenty election overturned. And yet so
• 1:02:39
  many magg Republicans they sit up there and they say, Fauci,
• 1:02:43
  he needs to be thrown in prison, he needs to
• 1:02:45
  be killed, He needs to be this, he needs to
• 1:02:47
  be that, without ever really thinking about the role that
• 1:02:50
  Donald Trump himself played in how Fauci ultimately became this
• 1:02:58
  pariah that he is. And you tell the truth, you
• 1:03:06
  shame the devil. Not only Trump and Fauci, but all
• 1:03:11
  the Democratic governors, nearly the entire political landscape deserves to
• 1:03:20
  be put in jail for what they did to us
• 1:03:22
  during COVID. But because Fauci was the one over infectious disease,
• 1:03:30
  because he was the one that funded the operation at
• 1:03:32
  the the Wu Hun lab, because he did all that stuff,
• 1:03:37
  he's the only one. He's like the big fish, the
• 1:03:41
  one left out the fry in the pan. But everybody
• 1:03:47
  else that played a role in this saga, they deserve
• 1:03:53
  the same faith.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: It is what it is. The saying could be said
• 1:04:06
  for everybody.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: Who continues to push this idea that what's going on
• 1:04:10
  with Iran is necessary. I remember last year when President
• 1:04:18
  Trump announced Operation Epic Fury. You guys remember Operation Epic Fury.
• 1:04:24
  Remember what happened At the end of that he, Pete
• 1:04:29
  hack self and everybody else came out and said, Iran's
• 1:04:32
  nuclear facilities have been decimated. They'll never be able to
• 1:04:38
  make another nuclear weapon, at least not during the time
• 1:04:43
  lo And behold, here we are on July thirty first
• 1:04:47
  of twenty twenty six, and the United States military is
• 1:04:51
  still in direct conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
• 1:04:59
  Iran is basically say, you know what, here's what we
• 1:05:02
  gonna do. Since you guys wanna keep on fucking with us,
• 1:05:06
  this is what we're gonna do. All your little allies
• 1:05:10
  over here in the Middle East. We know you got bases,
• 1:05:14
  so we'll just attack them. And this little thing called
• 1:05:17
  it straight of her moves, guess what we're gonna do.
• 1:05:19
  We're gonna control it so that way ships can't get
• 1:05:21
  in or out, so that way, goods and all can't
• 1:05:26
  be shipped throughout the world. So that little inflation pitch
• 1:05:29
  that y'all are feeling, you're gonna feel it.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Even more because we have control over the straight of
• 1:05:35
  her moods.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: So you can keep bombing us all we want, but
• 1:05:41
  we're gonna show you at the end of the.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Day while we're the big dog. And just think about it.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: This is a country that has a population about ninety
• 1:05:51
  million people. The United States, we have a population of
• 1:05:53
  three hundred and thirty million people. We're supposedly, allegedly supposed
• 1:05:59
  to have the best military on the face of the earth.
• 1:06:03
  So let me ask a question, why in the hell
• 1:06:06
  is it taking so long for us to finally get
• 1:06:09
  the job done in Iran? If we're supposedly the orchestrators
• 1:06:15
  of one of the best militaries on the face of
• 1:06:16
  the earth, it's not supposed to have taken this long.
• 1:06:22
  And anybody with any common sense knows why we're fighting
• 1:06:26
  that fight and who we're fighting that fight on behalf
• 1:06:30
  of it's not. You don't have to be a rocket.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: Scientist to figure that out.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: And once again, we're filling the pinch here at home,
• 1:06:44
  and yet Magga Republicans. They're out there saying, well, hey,
• 1:06:47
  you know, you gotta fill the pinch for a while,
• 1:06:49
  because this is necessary. It's vital that we destroy what
• 1:06:55
  remains of Iran military. The only thing they're gonna do
• 1:07:03
  is continue to get, you know, information and weapons from
• 1:07:07
  Russia and China. You don't think Vladimir Putin wants to
• 1:07:15
  do whatever he can to help, you know, kind of
• 1:07:18
  knock the United States down a few notches.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: China the same thing.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: And the problem with this whole war, and the White
• 1:07:29
  House will never come out and admit this, but I
• 1:07:32
  think that they should. The problem with this war is
• 1:07:37
  that it seems like the United States never had an
• 1:07:41
  end goal in sight and in mind. It just seems
• 1:07:46
  like you went over there and said, well, we can
• 1:07:48
  just blow up a few things and hopefully that'll bring
• 1:07:51
  a run back to the negotiating table. Iran doesn't have
• 1:07:56
  to negotiate in good faith because they understand that they
• 1:07:59
  have the biggas bargaining chip of the whole thing, the
• 1:08:02
  straight of her moves, and that's the chip that they
• 1:08:07
  can continue to dangle in the face of Marco Rubio.
• 1:08:10
  Steve Wickkoff, Jared Kushner and Pete hex of anybody who
• 1:08:14
  goes over there and tries to negotiate with the Iranians. Hey,
• 1:08:18
  we got the straight what do you guys have? Or
• 1:08:20
  we have the most lethal military on Earth. Well, guess what,
• 1:08:24
  you know, those old prices that your people continue to
• 1:08:27
  complain about, we can continue to get those things to
• 1:08:31
  jack up if we continue to you know, found down
• 1:08:34
  the straight. And this is the same Donald Trump that
• 1:08:43
  campaigned in twenty twenty four on no New Wars. This
• 1:08:46
  is the same group of Maga Republicans who got so
• 1:08:51
  tired of George W. Bush and his administration lied to
• 1:08:54
  us about what we were doing in Iraq and Afghanistan.
• 1:09:00
  And yet here we are billions of dollars we've spent
• 1:09:04
  on this operation. And the other week you have Pete
• 1:09:09
  Hexsev going in front of the Senate Appropriations Committee asking
• 1:09:12
  for more money, and it's like, damn, how much money
• 1:09:17
  do you need. That's a prime example of why you
• 1:09:22
  don't go into a situation without knowing what you're going
• 1:09:26
  into it for.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: And it's a very very, very very bad look. And
• 1:09:35
  we know.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: Why the White House wants this war to be over
• 1:09:40
  so fast, because the minute that this war can be over,
• 1:09:44
  the minute that they think prices can go down, which
• 1:09:47
  would then adversely help.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Them when it comes to the midterms.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: But the longer this war drags out, If this war
• 1:09:57
  is still going on during the midterms, during election day, oh.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's going to be a blood bath that's going
• 1:10:08
  to take place at the polls for the Republicans, and
• 1:10:11
  one that they would rightfully deserve, because they're the ones
• 1:10:15
  that got us into this, and now they're the ones
• 1:10:18
  that can't even seem to get us out of this
• 1:10:20
  because they don't have a.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: Concrete plan to do it.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: Similarly, similarly to what Donald Trump said about repealing it
• 1:10:27
  and replacing Obamacare, they don't have a plan.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: They just have concepts of a plan.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: They just have concepts of a plan when it comes
• 1:10:33
  to finishing the job against Iran, not a concrete plan
• 1:10:38
  that can work.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: One last thing that I want to talk to.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: You guys about before we get out of here for
• 1:10:47
  the day. As I mentioned earlier at the beginning of
• 1:10:53
  the show, and as I've mentioned throughout the show, I
• 1:10:55
  reside in the state of Mississippi. Been here all my life,
• 1:11:01
  and here recently. Mississippi has been in the news for
• 1:11:06
  not good reasons. A couple months ago, maybe not even
• 1:11:11
  that long ago, you had the officer involved shooting up
• 1:11:15
  in Senatobia, Mississippi, where one year old Cohen Wiley. Cohen
• 1:11:20
  Wiley was shot by Senatobia police after his mother and
• 1:11:26
  a friend were spotted shoplifting out of the Walmart up there.
• 1:11:33
  In my opinion, I still think that she got her
• 1:11:36
  baby killed. I'm not gonna deviate from that opinion. She
• 1:11:40
  even said in the video that she held her baby
• 1:11:42
  up so that the police knew that she had a
• 1:11:45
  baby in the car. The question still remains number one,
• 1:11:49
  why were you and your friend in Walmart shoplifting? A
• 1:11:52
  number two, why didn't you take the proper time to
• 1:11:55
  get your baby into the car seat.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: But here's the.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: Big question out of all of this, Honestly, and this
• 1:12:00
  is a question I hadn't heard a lot of people ask,
• 1:12:02
  if you and your friend are going to Walmart to steal,
• 1:12:04
  why in the hell did you take your baby to
• 1:12:06
  begin with? Allegedly they went in there to steal some diapers.
• 1:12:15
  But the thing that's so disgusting about Cohen Wily's death
• 1:12:22
  is that the day of the funeral, his mother was
• 1:12:26
  seen on social media flashing money the day.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: Of the funeral.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: There she is flashing money, and like so many people asked,
• 1:12:41
  if you had all that money, why did you have
• 1:12:43
  to go to Walmart and steal what obviously you had
• 1:12:46
  the money to pay for. And of course, you know,
• 1:12:53
  there's a large group of people who believe that the
• 1:12:55
  police acted negligently, and so not even a day or
• 1:13:01
  two after it happened, here comes Ben Crump coming down
• 1:13:05
  to Mississippi arguing for justice for Cohen Wyley. And let's
• 1:13:12
  be honest with ourselves. There should be some accountability. There
• 1:13:16
  should be some justice for Cohen Wyley because he'll never
• 1:13:19
  be able to live his life because of the actions
• 1:13:23
  of his mother and her friend. She got her child killed,
• 1:13:32
  and there is nothing more disgusting than that getting your
• 1:13:36
  own child killed. So that's one thing that's taken place
• 1:13:42
  in Mississippi lately. The other thing, and in a lot
• 1:13:47
  of people's opinion, the bigger thing that happened occurred earlier
• 1:13:52
  this month, when on fourth of July, eighteen year old
• 1:13:57
  Nolan Wells went missing off of Horn Island, off the
• 1:14:03
  coast off the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: He's reported missing on fourth.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: His body was found on the fifth, and a couple
• 1:14:12
  of days after that, guess who came to the rescue
• 1:14:14
  for the family of Nolan Wells once again, Ben Crumping.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: This time around, he bought a friend with him. The
• 1:14:20
  one and only Al.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: Sharpton came to Mississippi with Ben Crump to get justice
• 1:14:26
  for Nolan Wells. I have been waiting to give my
• 1:14:31
  thoughts on this because I have some pretty strong thoughts
• 1:14:34
  about what happened to Nolan Wells.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: So if you guys.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: Would just give me a couple of minutes, I'm gonna
• 1:14:40
  give you, guys my unfiltered, unedited.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: Thoughts about what happened to Nolan Wells.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: So, Nolan Wells and his friends were on a boat
• 1:14:53
  on Horn Island on the fourth of July celebrating the
• 1:14:57
  two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this country. It was
• 1:15:01
  reported that Nolan Wells's friends on the boat left Horn
• 1:15:08
  Island without him because, according to them, he chose to
• 1:15:12
  stay behind because there was a girl there that he
• 1:15:14
  was interested in talking to. So they went back to
• 1:15:18
  the mainland without Nolan Wells. It was reported that they
• 1:15:22
  had his phone and one of the friends took the
• 1:15:26
  phone home with him. As time went by, Nolan didn't
• 1:15:35
  come back. People started wondering whereas he had reported missing.
• 1:15:42
  The Cajun Navy the next day found Nolan Wells's body
• 1:15:47
  on the shore.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: And he was just in his swim trunks. That prompted
• 1:15:56
  an investigation.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Nolan Wells's body was taken to the state crime Lab
• 1:16:04
  for an autopsy. We found out on yesterday that that
• 1:16:09
  optops had wrapped up and the results of that optopsy
• 1:16:12
  is going to go to the grand jury. Nolan Wells's
• 1:16:15
  family called for an independent optopsy.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: His body was flown to Washington, d C.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: For that to happen, and it was reported that when
• 1:16:24
  the body got to DC, there were certain body parts
• 1:16:27
  that were not there with the body. So the reason
• 1:16:33
  why this case has garnered so much attention is because
• 1:16:39
  the friends that Nolan Welles went to Horn Island with
• 1:16:44
  were white.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: Nolan Wells's black.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: That's the reason why this thing has garnered so much
• 1:16:51
  attention because you have a large swath of the black
• 1:16:55
  population who believes that Nolan Wells's white friends got him killed.
• 1:17:00
  That they believe that those friends know more about what
• 1:17:04
  happened than what they're telling. A couple of days ago,
• 1:17:10
  it was reported that Nolan Wells was heavily intoxicated prior
• 1:17:20
  to his friends leaving them on Horn Island. There's an
• 1:17:25
  audio clip that's come out and people say that it's
• 1:17:28
  not true, isn't it, And some say that it is true.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: So YadA yad dad. Officer Tatum has sat down with.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: One of the boys that Nolan Wells went to the
• 1:17:38
  island with and he said that, contrary to what has
• 1:17:41
  been put out there by Christine Wisley, the mother of
• 1:17:45
  Nolan Wells, they did try to get in contact with
• 1:17:47
  her to let her know that they hadn't.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: Seen Nolan they left.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: He was there on the island, and they're trying to
• 1:17:57
  poke holes in her story that nobody reached out to
• 1:18:00
  her about what happened.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: But then they.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Produced the evidence that indeed, in fact, they tried to
• 1:18:09
  get in contact with her. They did get in contact
• 1:18:11
  with her to let her know that, hey, something's wrong here.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: Nolan has not come back. What's going on.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: I've had a hard time trying to wrap my head
• 1:18:32
  around this whole thing, because, on the one hand, Nolan
• 1:18:39
  Wells was only eighteen years old, graduated from high school
• 1:18:45
  down in Ocean Springs. I think he was going to
• 1:18:48
  Southwest Mississippi Community College. He was playing football there. I
• 1:18:51
  think he was a wide receiver of memory. Sir As correct,
• 1:18:56
  just starting to find his feet as he was going
• 1:18:59
  into adulthood. And now he won't be able to go
• 1:19:04
  out and do all the things that he wanted to
• 1:19:08
  do in life. That's one way of looking at this.
• 1:19:13
  The other way of looking at this is here we
• 1:19:15
  go again Mississippi being painted in this light like racism
• 1:19:23
  is alive, and well, now is there racism in Mississippi? Absolutely?
• 1:19:30
  Once again. I've lived here all my life. Racism is
• 1:19:32
  still prevalent in this state. But racism is still prevalent everywhere.
• 1:19:38
  And I've always had a strong disdain for people who
• 1:19:43
  act like racism only exist in Mississippi. Racism is in Alabama,
• 1:19:49
  Racism is in Texas, California, Montowna, Washington, New York, Michigan,
• 1:19:54
  hawaiis everywhere. I've long been the person that stated that
• 1:20:01
  there will be a cure to cancer before you ever
• 1:20:04
  change how people feel about different races of people. And
• 1:20:08
  I still stand ten toes down in that opinion. What
• 1:20:17
  I don't like about this entire thing is that Nolan
• 1:20:27
  Wells's family and a large group of the black population
• 1:20:33
  are trying to make it seem like these white boys
• 1:20:39
  did everything they could to kill Nolan Wells and then
• 1:20:42
  suppress the truth. From the very beginning when it became
• 1:20:50
  public information that Nolan Wells had gone missing, the narrative
• 1:20:54
  was starting to be formed that those white boys that
• 1:20:57
  he went to Horn Island with got him killed and
• 1:21:00
  tried everything they could to make sure that nobody ever
• 1:21:03
  found out about their crime. But we seen the gloss
• 1:21:11
  over the fact that when you look at pictures of
• 1:21:16
  Nolan Wells throughout his life, or not throughout his life,
• 1:21:20
  but you know, as he got older and things of
• 1:21:21
  that sort, who didn't seem like Nolan Wells was around
• 1:21:25
  most of the time white people. Now, I'm not trying
• 1:21:29
  to call Nolan Wells and uncle Tom. I'm not trying
• 1:21:32
  to call him a sambo. I'm not trying to say that,
• 1:21:35
  you know, he's a white person's he's not a I
• 1:21:41
  don't like to use this word, but I'm gonna use
• 1:21:43
  it because this is a phrase that's expressed in the
• 1:21:47
  black community. I try not to use this word, but
• 1:21:51
  I gotta use it for this particular instant. I'm not
• 1:21:55
  trying to say that Nolan Wells is a white folks nigga,
• 1:22:00
  not trying to say that. But what we know to
• 1:22:05
  be true is that most of the time you saw
• 1:22:08
  Nolan Wells, he was around white people. I mean, there
• 1:22:11
  was video of a pool party that he was at
• 1:22:15
  and he was about the only black person there. There
• 1:22:17
  were mostly white people there. That's who Nolan Wells chose
• 1:22:21
  to hang around with. So I find it very irresponsible
• 1:22:25
  for people to sit around here and say that, hey,
• 1:22:27
  it was those white boys that got him killed. Hell,
• 1:22:29
  this seemed like only thing he hung around with white people.
• 1:22:34
  If you choose to be black and have white friends,
• 1:22:38
  that's your business. Just like if you're white and you
• 1:22:41
  choose to hang around black people, that's your business. I mean,
• 1:22:43
  I don't care who you choose to associate with. That's
• 1:22:46
  your life. Make the most of it while you can.
• 1:22:51
  But this narrative that he hung around those white boys
• 1:22:56
  they killed him, it just seems a little irresponsible when
• 1:22:59
  you consider the fact that it seems like the only
• 1:23:02
  people Knowlan Wells hung around with for the most part
• 1:23:04
  were white people. I mean, it was reported, and it's
• 1:23:08
  been reported that he grew up in a very affluent
• 1:23:11
  community down in Ocean Springs, and most people automatically know
• 1:23:17
  that when you say the word affluent, it more than
• 1:23:20
  likely means white. So this whole narrative that, hey, he
• 1:23:27
  hung around those white boys and they got him killed,
• 1:23:31
  it kind of falls on deaf ears. If you're somebody
• 1:23:33
  that can look at this situation objectively, and if you
• 1:23:39
  think about it, if you're the friends of Nolan Wells,
• 1:23:42
  you're sitting back saying, wait a minute, why would we
• 1:23:46
  want him killed.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: If he was our friend. And I don't mean to.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: Come and attack the mother, but it's very hard for
• 1:24:01
  me to look at her and understand her point in
• 1:24:04
  all this. When I'm pretty sure that Nolan Wells and
• 1:24:09
  his friends they spent time at his house. I'm pretty
• 1:24:12
  sure his mother has met those same white boys that
• 1:24:16
  she thinks probably had a hand in her son's death.
• 1:24:23
  You find that very hard to believe that she thinks
• 1:24:26
  that those boys killed her son. But anytime that you
• 1:24:33
  get Ben Crump interjected into anything, all of your objectivity
• 1:24:40
  seems to go out the window. Because Ben Crump flew
• 1:24:44
  down to Mississippi, for one reason and one reason only,
• 1:24:47
  to make this racial. Ben Crump does not care about
• 1:24:53
  Nolan Wills the same way ben Crump did not care
• 1:24:57
  about Cohen Wiley. Ben Crump cares about his own national
• 1:25:03
  profile and how much money he can get. To ben Crump,
• 1:25:17
  Cohen Wiley and Nolan Wells are just two more victims
• 1:25:24
  of his greed, of his massive ego, needing to get
• 1:25:29
  a touch up every.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: Now and then. What gets lost in this entire thing.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: Is that maybe, just maybe we should wait for all
• 1:25:52
  the facts to come out before we do this rush
• 1:25:56
  to judgment, because think of all the lives that are
• 1:26:02
  being tarnished in this rush to judgment. I mean, you
• 1:26:07
  have people that look at Nolan Wells's mother a certain way,
• 1:26:10
  look at his father a certain way, look at Ben
• 1:26:13
  Crump and Alshroton in a certain way. And then you
• 1:26:15
  have people that look at the boys a certain way.
• 1:26:19
  So nobody is necessarily coming out of this thing with
• 1:26:22
  clean hands. I watched a YouTube video yesterday where I
• 1:26:30
  can't remember the guy's name to save my life, but
• 1:26:32
  he talked about you know, it's very weird some of
• 1:26:35
  the things that have happened in this case, particularly from
• 1:26:39
  the standpoint of the mother. You have people talking about
• 1:26:44
  how she doesn't seem to be crying real tears, How
• 1:26:47
  she seems to be, you know, emotional, but you don't
• 1:26:50
  see the tears rolling down her face. You know, if
• 1:26:52
  she's so emotional about her son, why every time you
• 1:26:55
  look up she's somewhere in a different city during a
• 1:26:57
  press conference, and so.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: On and so forth.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: And those are legitimate questions that you ask, But of
• 1:27:01
  course those questions get muffled because you have people that
• 1:27:05
  look at the situation and they say, well, everybody agrees differently,
• 1:27:08
  so you know, it is what it is. Let her
• 1:27:11
  grieve the way.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: She wants to.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: But I guarantee you this, if I were the one
• 1:27:21
  that came up dead, you wouldn't see my mother at
• 1:27:25
  a press conference. You wouldn't have been able to get
• 1:27:29
  my mom to leave the house if anything happened to
• 1:27:33
  me or one of my brothers, because she would be
• 1:27:37
  too emotionally distraught to want to leave the house. It's
• 1:27:45
  okay to call for justice for Nolan Wells the same
• 1:27:51
  way that it's okay to sit back and want all
• 1:27:53
  the facts to come out before making a decision on
• 1:27:57
  what truly transpired. From the very moment that this happened,
• 1:28:03
  I said to myself, you know what, maybe what happened
• 1:28:07
  here is that Nolan Wells got drunk, a little bit
• 1:28:11
  too drunk, couldn't hold his liquor, drunk more than he
• 1:28:17
  probably should have, is what I'm getting at. You know,
• 1:28:21
  friends were going back to the island or going back
• 1:28:24
  to the mainland. He wanted to stay behind me because
• 1:28:26
  there was some girl there that he wanted to talk to,
• 1:28:31
  and things went sideways.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: Now, trust them, believe me. If the evidence points.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: To the boys, those white boys, if it points to
• 1:28:43
  them doing this, then they should be punished to the
• 1:28:46
  fullest extent of the law. But if they're innocent, will
• 1:28:54
  they ever be able to move on with their lives?
• 1:28:59
  And in some case no, because they'll always be looked
• 1:29:01
  at as the boys that possibly know more than what
• 1:29:05
  they've told about what happened to Noland. It's one thing
• 1:29:15
  to be suspicious, and honestly, if you think about it,
• 1:29:20
  if you're someone like myself and you live in the
• 1:29:21
  state of Mississippi, it's okay to be suspicious because this
• 1:29:25
  state doesn't have a strong track record when it comes
• 1:29:28
  to getting justice for people, especially people of color.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: Let's just be honest.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: It took thirty years for the state of Mississippi to
• 1:29:37
  finally convict Byron de la Beckwet for assassinating MegaR Evers.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: Look at how long it took for Sam Bauers and for.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: Those guys to be brought to justice for what happened
• 1:29:50
  to Schwarner, Goodman, and Cheney for what happened to Vernon
• 1:29:54
  Damer down in Hattiesburg. Takes a while, but it would
• 1:30:02
  have done everybody some ounce of good if we let
• 1:30:07
  this situation have played out before there became this rush
• 1:30:12
  to judgment.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: Because there's still.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Certain things about what happened on Horn Island that we
• 1:30:18
  just don't know about.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: But one thing is for certain.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: Nobody will ever be able to walk away from this unscathed.
• 1:30:31
  And it's very sad. And it's the last point I'm
• 1:30:33
  gonna make before I wrap this up. The only person
• 1:30:40
  that has been adversely affected in this entire situation is
• 1:30:45
  the person that lost his life, Nolan, Because it seems
• 1:30:50
  like we've lost the plot when it comes to what happened.
• 1:30:58
  We've lost the plot, and it's very sad to see
• 1:31:03
  that we have indeed, in fact lost the plot. If
• 1:31:15
  we're gonna raise as the black community this much hell
• 1:31:22
  about what happened to Nolan, don't you guys think that
• 1:31:27
  maybe it's time for us to start raising as much
• 1:31:29
  hell about what happened in our own communities when black
• 1:31:35
  on black crime continues to plague our communities, When every
• 1:31:40
  time you look around there's black people being killed by
• 1:31:44
  black people. Where's being crumped then? Whereas Al Sharpton then,
• 1:31:49
  but see stuff like that doesn't fit their narrative. If
• 1:31:54
  we're going to be incensed about what we perceive to
• 1:31:58
  have happened in this CERL situation with Nolan Wells, maybe
• 1:32:03
  it's time for us to start calling out our own
• 1:32:06
  transgressions in our own communities. Every time you look around,
• 1:32:13
  every weekend, handfuls of black people get killed in Chicago.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: Look at what's happening in Jackson, Yazoo City.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: Just think about these places where black people continue to
• 1:32:27
  get targeted by their own time. And yet we're supposed
• 1:32:32
  to love and be there for each other, and yet
• 1:32:34
  we want the white world to take us seriously when
• 1:32:36
  we don't even take ourselves seriously because we can't stop
• 1:32:41
  putting bullets in each other. That's the reason why I
• 1:32:52
  aptly titled this episode time.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: To Hit the Reset, but because we're going to sink
• 1:32:59
  the Titanic if we don't.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: But I'm sorely afraid that it might be too late
• 1:33:05
  for us to hit the said reset button, because it
• 1:33:08
  seems like, in so many ways, we're already too far gone.
• 1:33:13
  And with that being said, ladies and gentlemen, that'll wrap
• 1:33:16
  up today's edition of The Igarius Williams Show. I want
• 1:33:19
