  Speaker 1: It is the deal. You can say your twenty twenty
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: six edition.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: If you're going to be in Memphis, Tennessee, I will
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: be there the Cannon Performing Our Center this August twenty second,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: So come take see me if you take a notion
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: in August twenty second, Canon of Performing Ours Theater. Listen,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: We're going to be joined on the program by missus
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Kathy Hughes. She is the founder, and she founded Discovery
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: some forty some years ago, right, yep, right, forty six
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: years ago for me, and she's got a lot to
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: say about what's happening now. She's got some exciting news
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: she wants to share with us. I think that we
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: are now in a situation where silence is complicit, right,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I think that there is needs to be
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of pressure bought on the fact that all
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of these young black girls and boys are coming up
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: hanging themselves, are coming up hanged. I do not think
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: it is an accident, and I think somebody is doing
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: something to those children, oh, without questions, And I believe
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: that it is benign. I believe that people's responds to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: it in the law enforcement agency people or the state agencies,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and people that are supposed to be attracting things like that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It is not normal for almost twenty kids to come
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: up hanged Black kids.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It's not normal.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to say this out loud, and I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: can't speak with any level of specificity. I think somebody
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: did something to Nolan Wells, and I think somebody is
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: doing something to these kids, and I think it's going
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to be somebody that does not like black people. I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: don't think that that's controversial to say. Why would I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: be shocked? Why would I not be suspicious when the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: things that are happening in the regions of the country
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: that's happening, it was traditional, they did it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: How are these black kids one?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: You know, a young woman in Mississippi hanging from a
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: tree in an abandoned home. These young people hanging in
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: now Roley. We had another example of it. If it
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: were anyone else, it would be national news. And the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: only chance that it has of any level of exposure
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is US complaining about it. And I don't think it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: an accident. I don't think that these people are getting
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: getting the urges to I think that there is there
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: is something afoot where people are harming people.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: That look like us.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Right, I do. I do.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not bes indicator what we're gonna say.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I was going to say. I think there's also something
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: to be said for the fact that not only are
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: these things happening, we're not getting answers about them. People
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: are just simply saying, oh, there's no foul play, it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: it's all suicide. It's all of that, and no one
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: is really investigating to see what's happening with our kids.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: The one similarity I will say is that right after
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Nolan Wells, they've discovered his body and police the first
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: thing they said, before there was any optosity, before there
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: was toxicology, what they say, there's no file, We don't
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: believe there's any foul play. How do you know that?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That's that's the fail safe position. How do you know that?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And the fact that you were that was the first
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: inclination to say things like that lets me know that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you know you It's almost like playing golf, but you
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: already checked the scorecard off, you already know what you're
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: gonna score. And I played with people like that, So.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, I don't have nothing to do with this, man.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Come on, it wasn't It wasn't just you ladies and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: gentlemen join us on the program. Is the woman who
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: owns the program though, is a legend that we're glad
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to talk.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: To her, and she is our fearless leader. Uh, Miss
• 3:33

  Speaker 3: We do need to talk about that. Let's talk about
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: it right now.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: What do we need to talk about?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you?
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Miss.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: We can't tell the boss was going on. I uh,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I know this is it is probably fairly commonplace for you.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Isn't the first time you've been honored in such a way.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: But you got another key to the city of DC
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: by male Bowser, so we want to congratulate you on that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I would like to say that another is my
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: one and only and I'm one woman. Yeah, it's my
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: one and only and I'm the only woman. And she's
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: been in public office for eighteen years. She's only given
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: out six keys.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I can't believe you.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I would have thought you had so many keysy with
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: people to saut you are janitor and this is the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: first time, but this is certainly not the first time
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you've been honored by by DC. Right, You've been honored
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: there a number of times because I think because the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: things you have done this are historic and luminary. Even
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: after all these years of doing what it is you do,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: what is it that makes you still thrive and strive
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to keep being connected to black people that struggles, you
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: know they I am just to stay connected to us
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: in the communal way that when you think, after you've
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: enjoyed so much success, that will kind of dissipate a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Well, no, because this individuals like you that keep me motivated,
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: keep me not feeling alone, knowing that I'm not a
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: lone ranger out there trying to, you know, get things done.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: I heard a promo earlier on your show for Reverend Sharpton.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: You know, I've been with Reverend Sharpton since he was fat.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: That's how he ain't a.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Had to wanna brawdy on the air.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, and he was four or five ten
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: times the size that he is now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: It's really you know.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: How I feel about this key is that you all
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: have been very gracious allowing me to be the face
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: of the brand.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: But and you all who do the heavy lifting.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: It's you who you know, it's been the years since
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: I had to do four hours Monday through Friday on
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: the air, and you have to do that every day
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: in addition to all the other things that you do.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: And so I feel that this key really does.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Belong to all of us.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: I think that your name and Jasmine's names and the
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: rest of the twelve hundred employees, that those are the
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: names that should be on this key, not just Cathy
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: cues By yourself.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I would just say this, don't give all those darkest key.
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: You'll be in your house for the time.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: You got enough key.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Okay, you said you.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Said something that I don't think a lot of people
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: know that you have twelve hundred employees, and the fact
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: that you've been able to navigate that space in different
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: political iterations, like the different administrations, different headwinds, different and
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: this I think is a unique challenge all its own,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Like there have been things that are specific that what's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: gone on the last fifteen twenty years that really it
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: speaks to how you've been able to just not only thrive,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: but to navigate a system where honestly it has If
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you're black, that's one thing, but black and a woman
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and the founder and presidency of a large corporation that
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: has to quadruple the things you have to go through.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: The mudge and right and being unafraid to speak my
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: mind on behalf of my people.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: I think that that kind of is more a target,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: makes me more of a target than being either black
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: or a woman. I think the fact that I do
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: identify and try to correct injustices as I see them,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: and that's what I have tried to do through my
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: entire career.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you this.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I remember at a time in this business where no
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: one was willing to give me a chance, and you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: did in a way that was forceful and protective and strong.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And I owe you a lot. And if I had
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: a key to give you that it give it to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a long time ago. I just want to thank you
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: for what you've done for me personally and for my
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: growth both artistically and socially. But the place that you're
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the incubation system that you provided, I think is as
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: as fertile ground for creativity as any place I've ever worked.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna thank you for that.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Oh, thank you very much. Well, keep the key, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: give me four backstage passes so I can impress my staff.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about that. I got you covered.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you, miss. I'm looking forward to seeing you. See
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you soon, congratulate and enjoy yourself. And I can't wait
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to see you backstage.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: All right. God bless thank you, Jeff, God bless you
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: to thank you, Miss hues Amount.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: It's time to give it deserving someone the shoe Booty
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of the Week award.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: Now it's time for the shoe Moody of the Week award.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, I see what you did there.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: Mike Lindell, also known as My Pillow Guy and Mike Pillow,
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: is an American businessman, political activist, and conspiracy theorist.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: So what's the problem.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: He is the founder and former CEO of My Pillow Wow.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: So why is Mike Lindell this week's recipient of the
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: shoe Booty of the Week Award?
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: I have no dear.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: The human memory foam gets the shoe booty because in
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: the race for governor he put all his pillows in
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: the wrong bed.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Yes, the human embodiment of a late night infomercial lost
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: the Republican primary for a governor. And just to be clear,
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: this is the race count Flatula personally endorsed. Trump looked
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: at the field and said, you know who Minnesota needs
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: the pillow salesman who still thinks twenty twenty was stolen
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: by a time traveling Italian satellite fake this. Glyndell got
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: about thirty two percent, Lisa Dumuf got forty four, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: true to form, Mike refused to concede. He's already hinting
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: the election was stolen, the same playbook as his mentor,
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Sweet Potato Hitler.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I just want to find eleven thousand, seven hundred and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: eighty votes, which is one more.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: That we have.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: Next, he'll claim the voting machines were stuffed with memory
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: foam and the ballots were too soft to count one,
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: two three. I can already see the next ad. If
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: you're not sleeping well because the election was stolen, try
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: the new Mike Lindell Defeat Pillow. It's filled with crushed
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: dreams and thirty two percent of the vote guarantee to
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: keep you up all night refreshing the results.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I need eleven thousand votes, Give me a break.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: He thought he would win with Trump, but just like
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: his pillows, he got slaton. Ouch. That hurt, and that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: why the Sholy of the Week award goes too, Mike Lyndell.
