• 0:21
  Speaker 1: had happened Wednesday was a woman tells an emotional story
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of how she thought her father abandoned her, but later
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: found out it was her mama that kept him away.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Take a listen.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: My parents were married and then they had me. I
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: guess their marriage was difficult, so they later got divorced.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know why, I don't know the details. All
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I know is that they separated, so I used to
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: be with my mother one week, and then I'll go
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: be with my father the next week, okay? So back
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and forth. One week, my dad never showed up to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: come and pick me up. I sat by the door,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: literally waiting and waiting. He never showed up. The following week,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I did the same thing. I did this for months, okay?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: He never came, so I felt so rejected, okay?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I still quite literally turn into that little girl when
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I talk about it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: It has changed the.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Trajectory of my life, okay?
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: So I didn't.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Find out until literally recently as an adult that my
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: father did not abandon me. My mother cut him off
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: because she was afraid that he was going to take
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: me from her, okay?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: What should be the consequences when one parent intentionally keeps
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the child away from the other parent?
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: That was a question we pulled to you, Sid.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: My son is going through the same situation. He pays
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: child support every week. He's caught up on his rears,
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: but he can't seem to talk to the kids. And
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: it's been some months now. I think the last time
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: the kids been over to my house, their nana, was
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: last year in the summertime. And that was the last
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: time we saw them. And the mom, she has this,
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: I don't know, some sort of vendetta, all because she
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: wants my son to be with her and the kids.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: But I have a funny feeling that she's feeding the
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: kids a lot of negativity about their dad. And the
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: only thing my son, he won't reach out or anything.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, he has been reaching out. But it's like, well,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I guess I have to wait until the kids get
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: older in order for them to accept me. I said,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: but what if they don't accept you because of what.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: She's feeding them?
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: The consequences to somebody demonstrating that type of behavior of
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: denying a child a healthy life experience with their parent,
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: particularly a black girl with their father, should be severe. However,
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: no matter what the punishment is, there's not going to
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: be a replacement for those opportunity and time, pictures, videos, conversations, cards.
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: and other life experiences connected to the healthy development of
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: that child with their parent, particularly a father, those aren't
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: going to be replaced. So no matter what the consequences are,
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: opportunity and time is gone. And it's your fault if
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: you were the one involved with helping to contribute to
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: that type of behavior, whether you be just a parent
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: or a parent's henchman, you know.
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: I think the child should be able to be their parent.
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, even if the.
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: Man is a deadbeat man, a deadbeat.
• 3:25
  Speaker 10: Father, it should be up to the child to still see.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Their parent and let them figure out what they want
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: to do with that parent.
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: I even let my child make the choice when they
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: were younger. I said, you know what, he's going to
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: find out. I'm not going to tell him anything. I'll
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: take care of him. And he sees who takes care
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: of him.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yesterday, we asked the question.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: There was a woman.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: What was her name, Jasmine?
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Krista.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Krista Pike, who the state of Tennessee tried to execute
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and failed twice. Since they failed the lethal injection, she
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: should be able to go free. That was the question
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: we posed her.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: You said?
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Look, I've been a correctionist 37 years.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Been a deputy, sergeant, and a lieutenant. Let that girl go. Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 10: She's working with something different.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Let her go.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Give her a second chance.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Let her live.
• 4:19
  Speaker 10: Let her live, bro.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: I think she deserves it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: God got something for her to do.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: And I never call into these shows, but I'm telling you,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: let the girl go.
• 4:26
  Speaker 10: I think she's going to do right this time.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: She ain't going to bother nobody else. Yes, I know
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: this might sound harsh, but I feel like that Crystal
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Pike should have went ahead and they should have let
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: her die last night because, frankly, her victim has went
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: through so much suffering. This girl is 17 years old.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: And none of this would have happened not for Krista Pike.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: That girl was sliced, beaten, had a pentagram carved into
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: her chest. Her head was smashed in. with asphalt. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: then Crystal Pike walked around for two days with part
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: of this girl's skull in her pocket. She had it
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: in her pocket when.
• 5:02
  Speaker 10: She was arrested.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Now, that's suffering. And I feel like the person that
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: suffered most was this girl's mother. She'd waited for 30
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: years for justice to go all the way from Florida
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: to Tennessee to see this woman executed, only for her
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: to go ahead and survive. She still doesn't have her daughter.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: And the people that support Krista Pike, I guarantee you,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: if there had been their daughter that went through that suffering,
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: they would not want to see this woman alive.
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: You know, that is interesting that they tried it twice
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: and it didn't work. But I say they should not
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: let her go, let her finish out her.
• 5:38
  Speaker 10: Sentence, naturalized in prison, or they can kill her the
• 5:42
  Speaker 10: same way she killed her victim. Hey, listen, I love y'all.
• 5:46
  Speaker 10: I listen every single day. Please keep doing what y'all doing.
• 5:51
  Speaker 10: Living in the state of Tennessee, I feel like this
• 5:55
  Speaker 10: situation with Crystal Pike, the way she murdered her victim
• 5:59
  Speaker 10: and the girl she murdered pled for her life. They
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: need to try it again. They need to reestablish the
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: execution situation and try it again. Third time's a charm.
• 6:11
  Speaker 10: Take her, too. She ain't got no quality of life.
• 6:14
  Speaker 10: Don't get up out of here.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Well, it's kind of unfortunate. It's kind of unique.
• 6:19
  Speaker 9: But I don't think she should go free just because
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: they demonstrated incompetence.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: I don't think them messing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: Up absolves her from her murder that she did 50
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: years ago, how many years ago. But if there is
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: a legal standard, just like double jeopardy for sentencing, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: it applies to execution attempts, then legally, then, you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: that would be fine. But I think that they should
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: sue the state of Tennessee, whether it be her lawyer
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: or her, you know, on her behalf or other people, family,
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: they're liable for botching it up because that's what.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: They're supposed to do.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: But I don't think she should just automatically go free
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: unless there's some kind of legal standard. But it doesn't
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: absolve her for what she did. I don't know if
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: she's rehabilitated or not, but it does, you know, I
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: don't know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: It doesn't, it's kind of a tricky thing.
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: This is a really interesting situation to me because, first
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: of all, we need to stop trying to play God.
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: And then also, we wait, and I say we wait
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: so long to execute a person that they almost forget
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: what they did to be executed. Like, I think we
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: really need to adopt other systems from other countries, you know.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: And like, she's just.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: She's resilient, apparently.
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: She has built up resistance in.
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: The last 30 years being in jail. So kudos to
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: that young lady. But like I said, being seriously.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: They did it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: They've been convicted.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Let's do what you got to do.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: Eye for an eye.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Now it's time to give a deserving someone the Shoe
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Booty of the Week Award.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: And now it's time for the Shoe Booty of the
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Week Award. Mitch McConnell. is an American politician and attorney
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: who has been a United States Senator from Kentucky since 1985.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: And has been Kentucky's Senior U.S. Senator since 1999. As
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Majority Leader of the Republican Party, McConnell is in his
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: 70th Senate term. making him the longest-serving senator in Kentucky history. Wow. So,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: why is Mitch the Turtle McConnell this week's recipient of
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: the Shoe Booty of the Week Award? I have no idea!
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: He gets the shoe booty for people wheeling him in
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Congress like Weekend at Bernie's.
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: I swear to God, I feel like death is for me.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: I'm calling me. After a fall at home, pneumonia, rehab,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: and roughly 100 days of what his office called recovery,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: MIA Mitch rolled onto the Senate floor like a guy
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: who got lost on the way to the gift shop
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: and just decided to stay. He arrived in a wheelchair,
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: bruised hands, voice doing that thing where it starts a
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: sentence and then checks out halfway through. Do you understand
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: the words that are coming out of my mouth? And
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: the first words out of his mouth to reporters were
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: basically a weak hello and a crooked thumbs up. It
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: didn't look like a comeback. It looked like a hostage
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: finally coming home and he didn't know he was home.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: he looked like a zombie and had a weird facial
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: expression like he was aarp in his pants i don't
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: feel so good he looks like he lost an argument
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: with a turtleneck his skin looks like leftover mashed potatoes
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: he looks like he should be on a cover of
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: a funeral home brochure and look i don't want to
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: pile on a guy who just spent the summer in
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: the hospital and a rehab center. Polio after effects are real,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: but this is also the same man who spent years
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: treating the Senate like a luxury timeshare. He only showed
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: up when it was convenient. So when he vanishes for
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: 100 days, releases a couple of photos that look like
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: they were taken by a witness protection program, and then
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: rolls back in like nothing happened. I'm sorry, what was
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: the question? People are going to make turtle jokes. That's
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: the deal. You can't look like a Galapagos tortoise for
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: 40 years and then act shocked when America takes shots.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: They call this a comeback, but it's more like a
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: farewell tour. And that's why the shoe booty of the
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: week award goes to Mitch McConnell. Now here's a swift
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: kick in the ass.
