• 0:10
  Speaker 2: No more.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: not making new people do these days.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: Called donkey of the day, and it really caught me
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: off guard.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out of day today?
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, donkey today for Monday, July twenty fourth, because it
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: goes to Judge Tracy Sworderscrum. She is a Lincoln County
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: District judge in Oklahoma. I am convinced I said her
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: last name wrong, and I am convinced that society is
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: as unseious as it's ever been my whole life. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: was told art reflect reality, and maybe because I'm older,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing more of the nonsense. But it seems to
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: me things that were once regulated to just TV shows
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: and movies are actually happening in real life.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Remember when in certain.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Films the TV shows they would show courtroom scenes and
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the judge was like, you know, looking at pawn or
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: shopping for furniture, just anything other than paying attention to
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the actual case. Well, America, we have reached that point
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: where that is actually happening in our courtrooms. Maybe it's
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: always been happening, I don't know, But nowadays, since Big
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Brother is always watching, folks is getting caught. And that's
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: what happened to Judge Tracy Soda scrim She was presiding
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: over the case of a man charged in the beating
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: death of his girlfriend's son. Well, during the opening statements
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: and testimony, the judge wasn't paying attention. The judge wasn't
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: paying attention throughout the whole case. The judge wasn't given
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: a good devil damn about what was going on in
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: that courtroom.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the news report.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Plae District Judge Tracy Soderstrom is accused of using her
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: cell phone for entertainment during a trial last month. That
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: trial was over the murder of a two year old
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: little boy. Surveillance video from inside the courtroom leaked to
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: the Oklahoma A former judge and current attorney, Tracy Schumacher
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: told KOCO Today using a phone or email during a
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: trial is normal for judges and lawyers, but this footage
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: shows the judge using the cell phone for a purpose
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: that didn't have to do with the trial. She also said,
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: for judges like Soderstrom. Herre coming from private practice to
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: the bench. There's a learning curve, and while this is
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: quote a bump in the road, she's hopeful she can
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: overcome it in her judicial career and continue to serve
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: the citizens of Lincoln County.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Judge Tracy Solderscrum was busy checking Facebook during the trial.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: This is true. This happened.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: She was texting and scrolling through social media while this
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: man was on trial for beating his girlfriend's son to
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: death allegedly. Okay, at one point, the judge was seen
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: searching for a gift.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, man, If the.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Judge is doing all that during your trial, trust and believe,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: then mine has already made up. All right, you going
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: to prison. This is all just formalities, all right. The
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: judge is just there so they don't get fine. Now,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I would assume that's not how a judge is supposed
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: to move. I would assume a judge's job is to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: not be biased, to not have any preconceived notions about
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the case, to actually listen to the evidence presented.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: But you can't do any of that. You scrolling Facebook.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: And I heard the news reports say that it's you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: fine for judges to be on the phone.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I don't want my judge on the phone during my trial.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, what if the judge is searching conversations about the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: case and it's basing what you know they believe off
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: what the comments are saying.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, Look, the trial ended in a.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Second degree manslaughter conviction, but prosecutors had asked jurors to find.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Him guilty of first degree murdered.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something, man, Jurors are banned from
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: using cell phones in the courtroom during trials because we
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: want them to be present all their time and attention
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: should be on the evidence being presented. Shouldn't the damned
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: judge be held to the same standard, if not higher.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: A whole case going on and the judges just sitting
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: there with the phone in her lapping below the top
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: of the judges bench while using it. Aldie said she
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: would put it in an open drawer. And now, look,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: some people can multitask, right. I don't know if it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: illegal for a judge to be on their phone during
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the trial or not, but it's some things that just
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: don't seem right ethically. Imagine a doctor tweeting while doing
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: some type of surgery on you imagine getting a colonoscopy
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: and then watching the tape back and they're paying more
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: attention to means than actually probing what's in your ass?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Why you go there though, because I want you to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: understand you've had a colonoscopy.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I've had a colonoscopy.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine if you watch the tape back and
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you saw the judges on Instagram laughing.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Why they supposed to be paying attention to what's going
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: on your button?
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: But y'all both have been to the dentists too. While
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: you ain't go there, damn right, you could have win, Dennis.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: You could wear so many places, but the factor is
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: straight to the butt.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Now, there is such a thing called a Code of
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Judicial Conduct, which states the judge shall act at all
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: integrity and impartial impartiak.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: What's the words learning impartiality, Yes, of the judiciary? Okay.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: The code does not specifically mentioned the use of mobile
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: phones though, so technically we don't even know if the
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: judge did something wrong. Look, man, it's over, okay. Machines
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: are man machines versus man. The machines of one. Okay,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: in a few years, judges are gonna be AI anyway,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: So it doesn't even matter if judges can't help but
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: be distracted by smart phones, what hope.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Is it for the rest of us?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Please give just Tracy Sowder scrim the sweet sound to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: the Hamiltons.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you are the doggy of the day, the
• 5:15

• 7:09
  Speaker 4: you're not together no more.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Oh you got back together, so you're gonna be step mama.

• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Let's let's save this up.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Lord, this might be a better conversation. I'm being honest
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: with you because you're not the only woman who's been
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: in this situation.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not. You know what I'm saying.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: You've been with a man and you love you like
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: this man, and this man cheats on you, ends up
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: having a baby with somebody else, get somebody else pregnant,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: but you decided to stay.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: With Have you ever went back to the d even
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: though you had a you was a step mom, That's
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: that's what you're asking.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Did you ever get to be step mama? She said, yeah.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, but he also he already had a child
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: me and himma had We've been together for ten years
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: at this point.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I mean at that point it was like probably seven eight.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: We went to high school together, so he already had
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: a child when I met him, So the stepmom thing
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: wasn't an issue or a game changer for me. We
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: were in a weird situation. I moved to LA and
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: so you know, it was a little rocky.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It was like you needed a place to stay still up.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Man, I moved to LA by myself. He was stilling Delaware.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Oh gotcha.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Oh, you know, it got a little rocky, Like you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: I'm dating people. We both lying to each other, so
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I couldn't really be as mad. And I think that's
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: the only reason why I decided to go back because
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: if we were like committed, even though he was still lying,
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: if we were super committed and I my hands weren't dirty, two,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: I would have been like, oh no, I'm good, So
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: let's pivot.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I want to hear some stories.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: Eight hundred and five. Are you in a similar situation,
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: Maybe your man cheated on, you had a baby, went
• 9:25
