- 0:28Speaker 2: threat to us.
- 0:28Speaker 4: Decide, But I'm also very proud that my wife was white.

- 0:38Speaker 1: Of the day.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Donkey Today for Friday, February twenty third goes to Fox
- 0:41Speaker 2: News pundit Raymond Arryo.
- 0:43Speaker 4: I think he pronounced his last name.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Raymond was on Fox's big weekend show and they were
- 0:48Speaker 2: suggesting that black voters were now abandoned the Democratic Party
- 0:52Speaker 2: or have been abandoning the Democratic Party and President Joe
- 0:55Speaker 2: Biden because former President Donald Trump is now selling sneak
- 1:00Speaker 2: Let's listen.
- 1:01Speaker 3: I was on social media last night. Very interesting as
- 1:03Speaker 3: you see black support eroding from Joe Biden. This is
- 1:08Speaker 3: connecting with Black America because they love sneakers. They're into sneakers.
- 1:12Speaker 3: They love the you know, there's a big deal, certainly
- 1:14Speaker 3: in the inner city. So when you have Trump roll
- 1:17Speaker 3: out his sneaker line, they're like, wait a minute, this
- 1:20Speaker 3: is cool. He's reaching them on a level that defies
- 1:23Speaker 3: and is above politics. The culture always trumps politics, and
- 1:27Speaker 3: Trump understands culture like no politician I've ever seen. Question
- 1:31Speaker 3: for you on that point though, Yeah, Well, the people
- 1:33Speaker 3: that are excited about the sneakers and excited about Donald Trump,
- 1:37Speaker 3: will that translate into them going out and voting for
- 1:39Speaker 3: Donald Trump? Anybody willing to put four hundred bucks down
- 1:42Speaker 3: for a pair of sneakers. Yeah, I think that's commitment
- 1:44Speaker 3: and love.
- 1:45Speaker 2: We are a very un serious country, yoah, and we
- 1:47Speaker 2: shouldn't be unseerious at a time like this when democracy
- 1:50Speaker 2: is on the line. But we also need to be
- 1:51Speaker 2: learning from who you consider to be opposition. There is
- 1:54Speaker 2: some things Raymond said that I agree with, meaning Trump
- 1:56Speaker 2: understands the culture better than any politician currently. Black coachure
- 2:00Speaker 2: though entertainment culture, and we live in an era sadly
- 2:03Speaker 2: where culture does trump politics.
- 2:05Speaker 4: By the way, maybe it always has.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I remember Bill Clinton going on our senior Hall back
- 2:10Speaker 2: in the day and playing the saxophone. Y'all started calling
- 2:13Speaker 2: Bill Clinton the first black president after that. Okay, remember
- 2:16Speaker 2: members of Congress in twenty twenty when they.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Was wearing kin, take cloth and taking a knee.
- 2:21Speaker 2: You know, I will say I also agree with him
- 2:24Speaker 2: in regards that Trump having a better handle on culture,
- 2:27Speaker 2: and that's also just because of how society has shifted.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Never forget, Donald Trump's a celebrity. Okay, He's been a
- 2:33Speaker 2: pop coach icon since the eighties, and now that politics
- 2:36Speaker 2: is pop culture. Trump is just killing Biden from an
- 2:39Speaker 2: entertainment perspective. You know, I just mentioned Bill Clinton playing
- 2:43Speaker 2: the saxon Arthennio Congress and they wore to kN take clap,
- 2:45Speaker 2: it took a knee. Hillary came on breakfast club talking
- 2:47Speaker 2: about hot sauce from Beyonce, had formation out.
- 2:49Speaker 4: It happens.
- 2:50Speaker 2: But Raymond Areo is getting donkey of the day because,
- 2:53Speaker 2: just like so many other people in politics on both sides,
- 2:57Speaker 2: they just think black people are simple. I don't unders
- 3:00Speaker 2: staying why folks believe black people don't want tangible things
- 3:03Speaker 2: and exchange for their vote.
- 3:05Speaker 4: You know what that tangible thing is money? People want
- 3:08Speaker 4: upward mobility.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Black folks aren't leaving the Democratic Party because they are
- 3:11Speaker 2: supporting Trump. I mean, some might be, but most Black
- 3:14Speaker 2: people I know, they just fed up a politics period.
- 3:16Speaker 4: They don't want it.
- 3:17Speaker 2: They won't be one over because Biden is doing the
- 3:20Speaker 2: latest TikTok challenge. They won't be one over because Kamala
- 3:23Speaker 2: has is reciting rap lyrics. They won't be one over
- 3:25Speaker 2: because Trump is selling sneak. Because they will be one
- 3:28Speaker 2: over when you offer them something that will provide them
- 3:31Speaker 2: upward mobility. In this country, it's simple, Okay, people calling
- 3:35Speaker 2: for reparations because it's old, but also because it's something
- 3:38Speaker 2: that will provide financial relief. People get excited over student
- 3:41Speaker 2: loan debt being wiped out because it's something that provides
- 3:43Speaker 2: financial relief.
- 3:44Speaker 4: People get excited.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Over affordable healthcare because it's affordable. It's something that provides
- 3:49Speaker 2: financial relief. Everything revolves around money.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Upward mobility. Okay, why do you think people love the
- 3:54Speaker 4: stimulus checks?
- 3:55Speaker 2: The PPP money, money, money, that's what all Americans care about.
- 3:59Speaker 2: But I'm telling you that's what black people want. Start
- 4:02Speaker 2: offering black people actual tangible things.
- 4:04Speaker 4: Okay.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I speak to black people and they want the government
- 4:07Speaker 2: to do more to confront white supremacy. Black people want
- 4:09Speaker 2: you to do something to protect voting rights. Black people
- 4:11Speaker 2: want polieve you for them. Black people want, you know,
- 4:13Speaker 2: more student that relief. Great job, you know that the
- 4:16Speaker 2: Biden administration has done on that so far. And once again,
- 4:19Speaker 2: black people want money. It's really that simple. It's not
- 4:23Speaker 2: rocket science here. So that's what Raymond is completely off thinking.
- 4:27Speaker 2: All it takes is a sneaker to get black people
- 4:29Speaker 2: to come out and vote.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Now, let's just talk business for a second. How much
- 4:32Speaker 4: you say them sneakers was reselling for in.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Two thousand without a signature, up to eight thousand with
- 4:37Speaker 1: a Trump.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Signature on it, and they cost three n nine to
- 4:40Speaker 2: nine dollars.
- 4:41Speaker 4: That's the hell of a flip. Okay, that's a hell
- 4:43Speaker 4: of a flip.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Folks.
- 4:45Speaker 4: People still hustle this baby.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Don't think just because you see someone buying these sneakers
- 4:49Speaker 2: that they automatically support Trump. Now, if you are a
- 4:52Speaker 2: Trump lover and you went out and bought the sneakers, yeah,
- 4:54Speaker 2: nine times out of ten, you're probably gonna vote for them.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Some people just buying these sneakers the resell Okay, some
- 4:59Speaker 2: folks just trying to eat because this country doesn't provide
- 5:02Speaker 2: upward mobility for us.
- 5:03Speaker 4: So I got to go out here and get it
- 5:05Speaker 4: on my own.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Now, the president of the Fat Lives Matter Committee is here,
- 5:08Speaker 2: the good brother Mac. I don't know why he just
- 5:11Speaker 2: isn't already sitting in the room because it takes him.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Takes him twenty seconds to walk two feet walk. Good morning,
- 5:19Speaker 2: Good morning Mac.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Here.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Now talk to me, Mac. What's your perspective on this?
- 5:23Speaker 2: You had a perspective.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Yeah, See, here's the thing.
- 5:26Speaker 5: I think it's all about right idea, wrong execution, you
- 5:30Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. Like, I get what they were
- 5:32Speaker 5: trying to do with the sneakers, but they did it
- 5:34Speaker 5: like if somebody just you know, got b ET plus
- 5:36Speaker 5: for the first week and they're like, oh I see
- 5:37Speaker 5: sneakers and all this this is what black people want.
- 5:39Speaker 4: Okay, there's other things.
- 5:40Speaker 5: That you could offer us that will kind of sway
- 5:43Speaker 5: our votal what you think.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Outside of.
- 5:47Speaker 5: Go to hell, Outside of reparations, clearly, that's that's easy.
- 5:52Speaker 5: But my suggestion is politicians, give us a break from rent,
- 5:56Speaker 5: give us a month off, maybe February Black History Month.
- 5:59Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 6:00Speaker 5: It's less days anyway, So we're paying for all the
- 6:03Speaker 5: days anyway, we're getting cheaped anyway, we're playing regular price
- 6:06Speaker 5: for the the same amount of day like that.
- 6:07Speaker 4: And by the way, that's something that revolves around financial relief.
- 6:10Speaker 5: Continue absolutely give us a four pack of Beyonce tickets
- 6:13Speaker 5: with one Rihanna album. If we could get four, and
- 6:16Speaker 5: it don't have to be the country tour, it could
- 6:18Speaker 5: be her next one, whatever she does after that.
- 6:20Speaker 1: But some four.
- 6:20Speaker 5: Renaissance tickets plus a Rihanna album, I don't like that.
- 6:23Speaker 1: I might vote for her whoever it is.
- 6:25Speaker 4: That's good reseale value to those You know what I'm saying.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Once again, it's something that revolves around money.
- 6:30Speaker 5: Okay, give us another season of Lovecraft Country if somebody
- 6:34Speaker 5: can make that happen.
- 6:38Speaker 6: Super If you passed, vote for you is not where
- 6:48Speaker 6: I wanted what I want.
- 6:50Speaker 4: I thought you. I thought you had voting. Could you stop?
- 6:56Speaker 4: Please get Raymond the biggest sa hull Jesus Christ. I
- 7:00Speaker 4: thought you had real tangents.
- 7:01Speaker 1: This is a serious time, So you do those, and
- 7:03Speaker 1: that's what would make you vote for.
- 7:05Speaker 5: True if they let Chris Brown perform at the super Bowl,
- 7:07Speaker 5: I will vote for whoever make that happen.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Man bye, immediately, it's a man on the floor. Man
- 7:15Speaker 1: got my vote.
