- 0:08Speaker 1: August twenty second, eight o'clock. I can't perform ourselves, so
- 0:12Speaker 1: come check me out. If you take a notion, A
- 0:16Speaker 1: lot of stuff is going percolating. We know that Gary, Indiana,
- 0:21Speaker 1: there are still a lot of people that Gary and
- 0:24Speaker 1: Nana is is without power, has been for the better
- 0:30Speaker 1: part of a week, right, right, because of floods.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Right, he's a bad storm, bad storms, yes, yes.
- 0:37Speaker 1: And Gary and Dana is a largely black city, right, yes.
- 0:41Speaker 1: And I think the the percentage of black people in
- 0:46Speaker 1: Gary is exactly the percentage of black people without a power. Yeah,
- 0:52Speaker 1: I bet you was a white house or two that
- 0:53Speaker 1: got a light on. But kid, I should say that.
- 0:56Speaker 1: But and I think that again, we talked about this yesterday.
- 1:01Speaker 1: It was what twenty project twenty twenty five is. It
- 1:03Speaker 1: was to strip government services away from everybody, to disrupt
- 1:09Speaker 1: people's uh, you know, governor's not really working. And I mean,
- 1:12Speaker 1: but there are there are things you can't say that
- 1:16Speaker 1: government ain't working when the FAA does pretty good, right,
- 1:18Speaker 1: some things work, right, And but but without this veneer
- 1:23Speaker 1: that there are people who are suffering from inclement weather
- 1:27Speaker 1: and climate, you know, eruptions. We have so much food
- 1:31Speaker 1: that is recalled. We have so much food and all
- 1:35Speaker 1: of them are because of the the people who were
- 1:38Speaker 1: supposed to be checking for those things. What they have
- 1:42Speaker 1: done is is strip every This is at the drugs
- 1:47Speaker 1: type stuff. This is iron run.
- 1:50Speaker 2: And when you when you when you think about no
- 1:52Speaker 2: power and what's happening in Gary, Indiana, you really have
- 1:55Speaker 2: to look at the big picture. There's no power, that
- 1:59Speaker 2: means there's all so no hot water. That also means
- 2:02Speaker 2: every everything that you had in the refrigerator is now spoiled.

- 4:14Speaker 1: jazz Man. What men, What's trending?
- 4:19Speaker 2: People are talking about these teachers who are going on
- 4:22Speaker 2: social media who were very upset at the fact that
- 4:26Speaker 2: a lot of students are coming in, students of color
- 4:29Speaker 2: that can't read. One in particular is a teacher out
- 4:33Speaker 2: of Texas, Darias Williams out of Houston, who basically broke
- 4:37Speaker 2: down crying, saying that he just finished a three hour
- 4:40Speaker 2: class and just broke down the middle class because these
- 4:42Speaker 2: seventeen and eighteen year old kids could not fill in
- 4:46Speaker 2: four words. And he wasn't the only one. There were
- 4:50Speaker 2: a number of frustrated teachers, teachers of color, there were
- 4:53Speaker 2: a few who were not of color who were talking
- 4:56Speaker 2: about how they're just shifting our students, our kids through school,
- 5:00Speaker 2: not caring whether or not they are learning or not.
- 5:02Speaker 2: They're just pushing them straight through. And he was like,
- 5:05Speaker 2: you know, I just don't know what to do. I
- 5:06Speaker 2: simply don't know what the problem is. And I'm super frustrated.
- 5:09Speaker 2: And so a lot of people are sharing how they
- 5:11Speaker 2: feel about that.
- 5:12Speaker 1: I understand that they gut education right because they don't
- 5:15Speaker 1: believe that's It's one of those things we talked about
- 5:16Speaker 1: with twenty twenty six. One of the biggest expenditures that
- 5:20Speaker 1: the government has is education. The Department of Education is
- 5:24Speaker 1: gone right or gut it, And what it is is
- 5:28Speaker 1: to prove that the system doesn't work, to drive all
- 5:30Speaker 1: of that to all of that money, that private sector money,
- 5:34Speaker 1: to vouchers and people who are not you know one
- 5:38Speaker 1: thing about this country, you used to be it was
- 5:42Speaker 1: what it did better than everything else. Could it could
- 5:44Speaker 1: it could educate large sex sectors of the population, right,
- 5:48Speaker 1: it could up until nineteen seventies. Now and now is
- 5:53Speaker 1: become a whooping boy for all that is wrong. We
- 5:56Speaker 1: got to get rid of education because it doesn't work.
- 5:59Speaker 1: And the people who suffer from that looked like you
- 6:00Speaker 1: and me.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely and finally trending Dave Chapelle, I don't
- 6:07Speaker 2: know if you saw this and not him going on
- 6:08Speaker 2: a war path. I don't want to be on his
- 6:10Speaker 2: bad side. He was actually in the UK. There was
- 6:12Speaker 2: a festival that they were doing the Diaspora calling I
- 6:17Speaker 2: think was the very first one. Uh And apparently they
- 6:21Speaker 2: cut the mic off of Lauren Hill and the Fujis
- 6:24Speaker 2: and it's because they had a very strict curfew of
- 6:27Speaker 2: you know, the show has to be over at eleven pm.
- 6:30Speaker 2: We don't care about any of those things. And Dave
- 6:32Speaker 2: Chappelle was irritated. He was like, you're effing up history
- 6:36Speaker 2: and you need to turn You can't turn the mic
- 6:38Speaker 2: off on a Martin Luther King, you know, blah blah blah,
- 6:40Speaker 2: like he was going off and he wanted to find
- 6:42Speaker 2: out who's in charge. Let me talk to him, bring
- 6:44Speaker 2: him here, let me find out what's going on. Of course,
- 6:46Speaker 2: even with all his money and all his power, he
- 6:48Speaker 2: could not get that concert as.
- 6:53Speaker 1: They were like fresh Prince, we're.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Now trying to hear it. But you know, hopefully they'll
- 7:03Speaker 2: have another event, and hopefully they'll bring this to the
- 7:05Speaker 2: United States. It's pretty cool thirty years you know what,
- 7:09Speaker 2: But that's what's trending, called.
- 7:14Speaker 1: David Yellow Yellow at old Yellow, She's jazz, it's the
- 7:25Speaker 1: jazzy report on the d L.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines has agreed to sell its data to Google
- 7:32Speaker 2: for ten million dollars. That data includes emails, UH internal communications, bookings,
- 7:39Speaker 2: and frequent flyer information, as well as HR information on
- 7:43Speaker 2: its employees. Now, they say the data has been stripped
- 7:46Speaker 2: of anything that can identify individuals, but it's still a
- 7:49Speaker 2: massive amount of useful intelligence.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Well, you don't have to one thing. We can identify
- 7:56Speaker 1: people that couldn't afford Southwest definite spirits buying data from Caper. Yes,
- 8:02Speaker 1: it's like buying a beta VCR where all that information
- 8:09Speaker 1: couldn't keep your planes in the air, could he? You
- 8:13Speaker 1: know what? Remember remember they didn't even tell nobody that
- 8:16Speaker 1: they was gonna close. That the gate was just the
- 8:19Speaker 1: lights cut off and use the employees. People in the air.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, you know, this is your last flight.
- 8:26Speaker 1: People put in the air, but I got to connect
- 8:28Speaker 1: their flight. Look you you will connect on another airlines.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I know that.
- 8:33Speaker 1: There you go. Well.
- 8:35Speaker 2: A study is finding that runners who push strollers while
- 8:39Speaker 2: their kids are under four anyway, we're less likely to
- 8:42Speaker 2: report overuse injuries than those who just ran solo nineteen
- 8:46Speaker 2: percent versus thirty percent, with stroller runners seeing about a
- 8:49Speaker 2: fifty five percent lower injury rate. Researcher say the stroller
- 8:53Speaker 2: appears to redirect some of the impact on the legs
- 8:56Speaker 2: into the hands and the wheels.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Won't you just right back with training wheels too? Once
- 9:01Speaker 1: you do that too? What are you doing?
- 9:02Speaker 2: I mean you could if you want to save you know,
- 9:04Speaker 2: your cartilage.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I did. Look here. How far be it from me
- 9:08Speaker 1: to malign a runner because I know how much pain
- 9:11Speaker 1: I'm in most of the time. We have some great
- 9:13Speaker 1: callers this week. If you missed him, do not worries
- 9:15Speaker 1: what had happened on Friday? This is today a Hughley show,
- 9:17Speaker 1: so Monday would have happened? Was Steven A Smith? For
- 9:19Speaker 1: see the thumbs down the ward from the National Association
- 9:21Speaker 1: of Black Journalists. Do you think that it was deserved?
- 9:24Speaker 1: They deserve that world. We put that question in you,
- 9:27Speaker 1: mad Did you have a lot to say? Is that,
- 9:29Speaker 1: in fact they still calling him of that? You said, I.
- 9:32Speaker 4: Thought they should have given him the cue booty of it,
- 9:34Speaker 4: of the of the year, of the week. They should
- 9:37Speaker 4: give him the Jingior War. They should give him the
- 9:39Speaker 4: clown a war. Yeah, I agree with he and Smith's man.
- 9:43Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, he is a detriment to the
- 9:45Speaker 4: black community. He's a sellout. He'll do anything for the bag.
- 9:48Speaker 4: That's what Steve A. Smith do. When when Maggie gets
- 9:51Speaker 4: do with him, they gonna discarded him. He's gonna get
- 9:53Speaker 4: his black call, wake up call one d day. They
- 9:55Speaker 4: gonna get it just amount of time.
- 9:58Speaker 5: I believe that, Yes, the ward for Steven Asmith is
- 10:03Speaker 5: very much deserved.
- 10:04Speaker 1: He should get it.
- 10:05Speaker 5: He should have got it before now. But I'm glad
- 10:07Speaker 5: somebody recognized how out of hand excessive and abusive he
- 10:13Speaker 5: is with the way that he talks about certain folks
- 10:16Speaker 5: that are not black people, or the or the folks
- 10:20Speaker 5: that are black.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Rather.
- 10:22Speaker 5: So it's just like I'm glad somebody's recognizing it for
- 10:26Speaker 5: what it truly is and not trying to sugarcoat how
- 10:31Speaker 5: harmful his behavior is. A lot of times people like
- 10:35Speaker 5: to say words don't mean nothing, but a person like him,
- 10:38Speaker 5: who has the platform that he has, is quite dangerous.
- 10:43Speaker 5: It's bad enough we got a president that's like that.
- 10:45Speaker 5: Why he got to be a black person? That adds
- 10:48Speaker 5: on to that kind of idea that it's okay to
- 10:51Speaker 5: be this reckless with your language.
- 10:54Speaker 4: See never one of the worst people I've ever met.
- 10:56Speaker 4: I mean, I listened to speak you better.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Be that he deserved that award. He deserves the super
- 11:02Speaker 3: Boody Award, every the ward.
- 11:04Speaker 4: That's negative that they can give him now after listening
- 11:07Speaker 4: to him, you know, I thought, in againning he was
- 11:09Speaker 4: a frequod person, you know, but after listening to him
- 11:11Speaker 4: and how he did the greats, the Democrats.
- 11:13Speaker 3: And uh f hold Trump and uh those Republicans, I
- 11:17Speaker 3: have nothing but Stephen Smith, not Stephen A. That's what
- 11:22Speaker 3: he likes to call Stephen Smith.
- 11:24Speaker 4: That's what I call it, Stephen Smith.
- 11:26Speaker 3: I think, yes, Stephen Ah Smith does deserve a thumbs
- 11:29Speaker 3: down from the Black Journalist. In fact, I wish to
- 11:33Speaker 3: trade him for Gary Ony. We would do a lot better.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Thank you man, continue the great work you got to do.
- 11:41Speaker 4: Yes, I think he deserves that award. Put him in
- 11:44Speaker 4: the same category with Clans Thomas. He's uh yeah, straight, coon,
- 11:48Speaker 4: coon knowledgy, both of us
