- 0:25Speaker 1: today at OV twenty twenty six dot com or you
- 0:28Speaker 1: can call two Poe four four nine five nineteen sixty three.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Here's what I don't understand.
- 0:34Speaker 1: So Trump was elected primarily if you believe, if the
- 0:39Speaker 1: exit posers believe, I think racism had a lot to
- 0:42Speaker 1: do it. But I also think that one of the
- 0:44Speaker 1: stated reasons was the economy. They thought he would do
- 0:47Speaker 1: better with groceries, right.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Correct, well, because he promised that, Yeah for sure, it
- 0:51Speaker 3: ran on that.
- 0:52Speaker 1: So why are they mad at Mendami for opening a
- 0:57Speaker 1: city run grocery store that offers thirty percent discounts to
- 1:02Speaker 1: his pay?
- 1:03Speaker 2: He said he would do it.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Why is it when Trump doing a campaign promise, when
- 1:07Speaker 1: he does this socialism, Well, one I.
- 1:08Speaker 4: Think is because it's a brown guy who did something
- 1:10Speaker 4: for brown people and they don't like it.
- 1:12Speaker 3: How dare these brown people get.
- 1:14Speaker 1: These things doing it? And you know what he said,
- 1:17Speaker 1: he said, well, it's a brown guy. I think he's
- 1:20Speaker 1: putting that Muslim is putting those Christians a shame.
- 1:22Speaker 3: He really is, Oh yeah, every day.
- 1:24Speaker 1: But he talked about how New York had lost two
- 1:26Speaker 1: hundred thousand black people for the course of eleven twelve years,
- 1:30Speaker 1: and he thought that he was primarily attributed to, you know,
- 1:34Speaker 1: them not being able to afford it.
- 1:36Speaker 2: And he said he.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Wanted them to be able to you know, he wanted
- 1:39Speaker 1: them back, Like, don't he want to lose a great story.
- 1:42Speaker 1: He's just the way he speaks and inspires. You could
- 1:46Speaker 1: tell he was inspired by Obama. And you can tell
- 1:49Speaker 1: he's just a good dude. Yep, he's a good dude.
- 1:53Speaker 1: But it is disingenuous to believe that the very same
- 1:57Speaker 1: thing that Trump promised and the reason that American popular
- 2:00Speaker 1: houses socialism when he does it. But it was a
- 2:03Speaker 1: campaign for well, you mad at him for keeping Trump's promise.
- 2:08Speaker 4: I just don't understand why you're so upset because you're
- 2:10Speaker 4: doing something to help the community. These grocery stores are
- 2:12Speaker 4: going to have groceries at a thirty percent discount. They're
- 2:16Speaker 4: even going to have their own New York private label
- 2:20Speaker 4: that will be specifically for people who can't afford grocery.
- 2:23Speaker 5: And what.
- 2:25Speaker 1: What are Americas on the top of on their mind?
- 2:28Speaker 1: They can't afford food, and he's doing some other and
- 2:31Speaker 1: you could say his economy, the economy deal with with
- 2:35Speaker 1: is larger than all but forty s. It's only ten
- 2:39Speaker 1: states that have a larger GDP than New York when
- 2:42Speaker 1: adjusted for adjusted than New York, the city of New York,
- 2:48Speaker 1: not the state, the city.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Wow.
- 2:50Speaker 4: I think I think one of the reasons too, why
- 2:53Speaker 4: Trump is so loud and aggressive about this is because,
- 2:57Speaker 4: just like you said, Trump made all of these promises
- 3:00Speaker 4: he was going to do him, so did MONDAMMI.
- 3:02Speaker 2: But he's doing he's actually everything he did.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Nothing he did is answering with affordability and people dealing
- 3:08Speaker 1: with things that they can't afford. Everything he did, by definition,
- 3:10Speaker 1: starting award tariffs, disrupting the workforce, which is what you
- 3:16Speaker 1: know this massive integ immigration up Paul did, and all
- 3:19Speaker 1: those things are inflationary by definition.
- 3:21Speaker 2: They make things prices go up. It's new text scupts
- 3:25Speaker 2: for the rich socialism. Yes, all that was inflationary, all
- 3:29Speaker 2: of it.

- 4:08Speaker 3: You have to be in place.
- 4:10Speaker 4: Speaking of being in place, you are a staple inn
- 4:14Speaker 4: R and B period. You just are kind of me
- 4:17Speaker 4: and you know what You're trying to be humble about it.
- 4:19Speaker 4: But in terms of voice bar none, come on, you
- 4:24Speaker 4: can you can brag a little bit.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Of your voice. I'm just I'm glad to be on
- 4:28Speaker 3: the set. Let me tell you. Let me just tell you.
- 4:30Speaker 4: You act like we don't remember when you almost broke
- 4:33Speaker 4: the internet.
- 4:34Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Uh, okay, can I get some receistles? Roll that camera?
- 4:39Speaker 3: Thank you? Okay, Okay. I know you have a project out,
- 4:43Speaker 3: well tell me about it.
- 4:44Speaker 6: I'm kind of kind of sticking my toe in the water,
- 4:46Speaker 6: That's what I'm doing.
- 4:47Speaker 3: So it's been a while since I've done any music. Yeah,
- 4:50Speaker 3: so a solo artist.
- 4:51Speaker 6: So I know, I did something pretty daring, and that
- 4:55Speaker 6: was to do a cover of shut Age No Ordinary Love.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Yes, no, no, no, no scary. Yes. I mean, I mean,
- 5:03Speaker 3: I know she's she's the queen of She's the queen
- 5:05Speaker 3: of everything. Queen.
- 5:07Speaker 6: Yeah, And so it was daring, but I had an
- 5:11Speaker 6: appreciation for the song for quite some time. I love
- 5:15Speaker 6: her as an artist. She's one of the two female
- 5:18Speaker 6: artists that I always wanted to uh see performed, and
- 5:21Speaker 6: I never got to see performed.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Her and Anita Baker. I've seen Anita Baker, I've not
- 5:26Speaker 3: seen never. I don't know anybody who's seen shot in
- 5:30Speaker 3: Is she real?
- 5:31Speaker 2: Of course she is.
- 5:33Speaker 3: No, she is. She's amazing.
- 5:35Speaker 4: And I did hear her do something on social which
- 5:37Speaker 4: I hadn't heard like in forever, because you know, she's
- 5:40Speaker 4: elusive on social media, which most people are. I don't
- 5:42Speaker 4: blame you, but not you. You be on social acting out.
- 5:45Speaker 3: But that voice, that voice of hers is incomparable.
- 5:48Speaker 4: But see you're saying that about Shara, I think a
- 5:50Speaker 4: number of people would say the same thing about you.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Unmistakable voice, undeniable talent, and I don't think anyone can
- 5:56Speaker 4: sing a song quite like you except me, of course.
- 5:59Speaker 3: Well you excluded. I'm gonna let you have that one.
- 6:06Speaker 4: But how is it though, as an artist that has
- 6:10Speaker 4: typically always sang with someone to the left or right
- 6:13Speaker 4: of you, and now you're stepping back out in the
- 6:15Speaker 4: spotlight by yourself. Tell me about the nerves, Tell me
- 6:19Speaker 4: about you know, the anticipation.
- 6:22Speaker 6: Well, there's a certain freedom that you get when you
- 6:27Speaker 6: go as a solo artist that you don't have when
- 6:29Speaker 6: you're in a group. And I won't say that I'm
- 6:32Speaker 6: necessarily stepping away from the guys because I got two
- 6:35Speaker 6: young guns that can do their thing right.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Now I've seen you guys.
- 6:39Speaker 6: They did partly talented young men, you know, But this
- 6:43Speaker 6: was just something I felt I needed to do. I
- 6:46Speaker 6: cut this a while ago, and I thought, well, I'm
- 6:48Speaker 6: just not gonna let it sit on the shelf. And
- 6:51Speaker 6: you know, timing is everything, and it seems that this
- 6:55Speaker 6: is the right time it is, and it may encourage
- 7:00Speaker 6: me to do a follow up to this and think
- 7:03Speaker 6: I'm really kind of figuring my way through it.
- 7:05Speaker 3: It should. This is my thing.
- 7:08Speaker 4: I always get so frustrated when I hear someone who
- 7:13Speaker 4: has a particular talent and they just don't use it
- 7:17Speaker 4: until it's gone. I think you were given that talent
- 7:19Speaker 4: for a reason, and you still got it. You still
- 7:24Speaker 4: got it, and so yeah, you see what I'm doing,
- 7:28Speaker 4: what I'm doing, you still got it.
- 7:31Speaker 3: And I think when you have it, you're supposed to
- 7:35Speaker 3: use it. It's why you're here.
- 7:36Speaker 4: And I feel like it does such a tremendous disservice,
- 7:39Speaker 4: not only to the universe, but to the God who
- 7:41Speaker 4: gave it to you.
- 7:42Speaker 3: It's like, why not use it until there's just no
- 7:44Speaker 3: more left?
- 7:45Speaker 4: And we all know you got plenty left in the
- 7:48Speaker 4: acd Well, we're gonna do what we can do, and
- 7:49Speaker 4: we'll figure out how this how this all plays.
- 7:51Speaker 3: These evasive answers like.
- 7:53Speaker 6: A politician, see how this plays out, this plays out.
- 7:56Speaker 3: I think it's gonna play out well. I have high
- 7:58Speaker 3: hopes for it. He knows exactly what to say. See
- 8:01Speaker 3: I see a pattern here. That's good stuff. Come on, Edmonds,
- 8:04Speaker 3: thank you so much. I'm so happy.
- 8:07Speaker 4: I'm happy that you're taking an opportunity not to step
- 8:10Speaker 4: away from after seven, right, but just kind of you know,
- 8:13Speaker 4: do your little thing for a little bit.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Then get on back more good music. Yeah, because you
- 8:18Speaker 3: still got it. Thank you for clarifying. I appreciate you absolutely.
- 8:23Speaker 3: You gotta clarify that for true and love you back.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Ye see you so you too.
- 8:28Speaker 6: She is.

- 9:09Speaker 7: her days as White House lies to the Press Secretary

- 9:17Speaker 7: stood in front of the press and announced with ten

- 9:25Speaker 7: US for religious liberty.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Put your hand on the television, chef, he you're healing.
- 9:33Speaker 7: How can you fact check that statement? Here's something you

- 10:30Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's nice.
- 10:32Speaker 7: Look I'm not saying Arkansas is not religious. I'm just saying,
- 10:37Speaker 7: if your idea of religious liberty is the freedom to
- 10:40Speaker 7: make sure everyone else is also religious, congratulations, you're crushing it.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Can I get a witness?
- 10:48Speaker 7: Though, As Governor Sarah Huxterby claims, you have the constructional
- 10:54Speaker 7: right to worship however you want, as long as it's
- 10:58Speaker 7: the right kind and the right church and doesn't involve
- 11:03Speaker 7: any of your rainbows, science textbooks or drag Queen's Story Hour. Otherwise,

- 12:03Speaker 5: food costs or forcing millions of Americans to dramatically rewire
- 12:07Speaker 5: their daily shopping routines. After digesting a thirty three percent
- 12:11Speaker 5: jump in urban grocery prices since twenty nineteen, household food
- 12:16Speaker 5: affordability reached its highest level of strain in half a century.
- 12:21Speaker 5: As shoppers turned to strategic couponning and discount markets. Food
- 12:25Speaker 5: affordability quickly emerged as a central issue for voters heading
- 12:29Speaker 5: into the fall mid terms. Republican Ohio Governor Mike DeWine
- 12:34Speaker 5: is publicly criticizing the Trump administration's plans to arrest and
- 12:39Speaker 5: deport thousands of Haitian migrants following the expiration of their
