Speaker 1 (00:00):
I just saw the news.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'm sure you guys probably saw it or heard about
it too, that the shutdown maybe dragging into dragging on
a little longer. I was talking to my friend that
works for the FAA, and he said, well, we're here. Yeah,
they won't get paid until you know, everything is back
(00:24):
up to normal.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
He said.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
The only bad part about that is my my light bill.
They won't they pay me my house. No, they don't
care if I don't get paid, that's what they're saying. Yeah,
and young Lady messaged me. I played it yesterday, but
she tapped that iHeartRadio app and told me how she
(00:46):
felt about what was going on in her job.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Happy have they storm me?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, I need to win that thousand dollars today because
I'm a government employee and I'm having to work. The
government is shut down. And it's sad part about it.
Our president and all the other lawmakers out in Washington
they still getting paid.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Mm hmmm, Yeah, they're all still getting paid.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well, some people, you know, and even some of the
government employees, like the folks that work for TSA. I'm hearing, Uh,
they have to work, and you know they they told them, folks,
you got to come to work, think about taking off
if you won't. Some of them, you know, get paid
good money too, but they don't get it. They don't
(01:37):
get jacked when the government, you know, during this shutdown.
So hopefully this thing won't last too long. They can
straighten it all out and we can get back to well.
Government employees will be okay. Hopefully everything works out for them.
A lot of folks talking about what's going on here
in Memphis, and yeah, I was having a conversation with
(01:57):
one of my coworkers today and we were talking about,
you know, what was happening.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And I said, you know, a big part of me.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
With with what's happening with the you know, the Guard
and all that being here. And I haven't seen a
lot of the activity with the Guard. I know, I've
seen a lot of other agencies, but not a lot
with the Guard. And I did see where one of
the news stations said a marine helicopter was in our city,
but I haven't.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I haven't seen the Guard.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But I know people have spotted spotted the Guard, and
you know they've seen them, but I don't think they're
active just yet. Now I could be wrong. Y'all can
tell me are they active, because I understand that from
what I'm understanding, they're supposed to, you know, help out
the police and all that kind of stuff. But at
any rate, I was just you know, having a conversation
with y'all. Y'all tell me if y'all feel like this.
So as far as I'm concerned, I feel like I'm
(02:47):
gonna be okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
But I think I got a little hmm, oh, what's
the what's the word?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
A little bit of I want to say as similar
to PTSD, But I think it comes from I don't
think it's mine. I think it might be my mother's,
my grandmother's, you know, my ancestors from when the days
when you know, sometimes police would show up in the
neighborhood and things wouldn't work out so well. I think
(03:19):
I'm you know, for the most part, I feel okay,
you know, at least I feel I think I feel okay.
But I do feel like something in me feels like
something might jump off, you know what I'm saying, And
I kind of feel like that's really not because that's
not something that.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Came from me. And maybe it's because people there are
people that are doom and gloom.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
And when you hear people with the doom and gloom,
sometimes that rubs off on you too.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I'm trying to just you know, trust God and all
of this, and I know some people don't want to
hear that, but that's what I'm trying to do. But
there's something there's a part of me, and I can't
lie about it. There's a part of me that that
is uneasy, just a little bit uneasy.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I want them to do their job. I want them
to be safe, and I want people that are doing
right and a libiding citizen to be safe as well.
That's what I want. I don't want people to get
caught up in crossfire because somebody is out there with
a draco and here come, here come the cops, FBI,
(04:34):
Homeland Security, TB, I, who else, t s A.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Not TSA. I'll just keep me with that.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
But anyway, uh, here come everybody, and and somebody else
that's you know, innocent gets caught up in that. But
but but but but there have been children that have
gotten caught up in crossfire too. I was reminded of
that yesterday, and they weren't here at all, you know,
there were no all of this extra support was not here.
(05:07):
So yeah, it's just you know, I don't know. I
feel like it's passed down worry some of it. Some
people might call that being a realist. I don't know.
Don't tell me what you think about it. Today is
a special day. Let me tell you something. Today is
(05:30):
National Custodial Workers Day. Talk about a man doing a
honest job, making an honest living. People will frown on
people that are custodial workers. But I'm gonna tell you
there's something I think regal in seeing a man who
(05:53):
is cleaning up after nasty people. Let me just say it.
Put it like to nasty folks. It's a bunch of
nasty folks, and God bless.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Them for what they do.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Let me, I might have to give my custodial work
the one around here. I don't have one. I don't
have a housekeeper. I know a lot of y'all have housekeepers,
and be nice to them, you know what I'm saying.
Give them a tip every now and then. They don't
make a lot of money. Custodio workers sound like we
got one out there.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Now you hear that noise? What in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Anyway, but shout out to them and God blessed custodio workers.
I think the closest I've ever gotten to be a
custodial worker was when I worked for the man. Ah
I've been dad y'all's story. And I may have told
y'all this before. When I was a young girl, maybe
(06:51):
about nineteen or twenty, I was going to college, and
my mother wanted me to get a little, you know,
a little job. And so she my mother was a housekeeper. Yeah,
she ran a nightclub, but she was also a housekeeper
by day, nightclub own her by night. But seriously she
(07:15):
was but she knew this man, this white man, and
she said, you know, he wants you to He's looking
for somebody to come and work for him, you know,
to kind of do some things around the house, do
a little cleaning, whatever, whatever. And so I said, okay, okay,
if I go down there and make that little money
and stuff. And I went to work for that man,
and I was I learned some things and saw some
(07:38):
things I've never seen before. He would take his shotgun
because in the back of his house he had a
bunch of woods, and well, nobody was back there anyway,
he would shoot squirrel, yeah, he would, and he'd bring
him in and he would. He taught me one time
how to skin a squirrel. I did not come to
work for him to do that, Okay, I didn't come
(07:59):
here for that. His name was Dodson. He's dead and
gone by now. I didn't come to work to skin
no squirrels.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And then he taught me how to cut it up,
and he would cook it. I would not eat it.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I have never been one of those people that like
to eat squirrel and all that other stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I just never never was deer either, never been that
kind of person. Never.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But he would cook it and he taught me. The
one thing he did taught me was how to make
some corn bread, best corn bread I ever had in
my life. Get you some milk and that corn bread,
Oh my goodness. But he also taught me a few
other things.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
He was an old man.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And he had a girlfriend, and he went to get
some sort of surgery to.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Make it bigger.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's true story, I kid you not, And this was
the last I knew about it.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But I never.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I never thought that he would ever do what he did.
One day, he asked me, I'm embarrassed to tell you. Yeah,
he propositioned me, and I told that man. I said,
(09:45):
I don't know who you're gonna call. And I was young.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I said, I don't know who you're gonna call, but
you can't have to call somebody because I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I left that man's house and probably left dust. He
had a dusty roadway to it. I probably left that
man houses smoking. I left out there and and so
I never went back. And you know, since my mother
got me the job, she kept asking me. She said,
why won't you go back and work for him? And
(10:19):
I didn't want to tell her because I never, you know,
wanted to have that kind of conversation with my mama.
And that old bad I guess he thought, says he
got him a new thing.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I was gonna be. I was going to help him
try it out. The devil is a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So my mother kept asking. She kept asking because I
wouldn't go. He'd call, I wouldn't. I'm like, I ain't here.
So one day I got tired of her asking, and
she said.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Why won't you go? And I said, Mama, he's a
dirty old man. She never asked me. I can never
asks me again. And I never went back to me.
I don't know what happened to that man. Don't know.
It's just like, you know, there's some stories, and I
(11:11):
know all of us got a story.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
All of us got a story that is like unbelievable.
I never in my life thought i'd go through, but
I was. I feel like today is for me National
Custodio Workers Day because I was a house cleaned this
man's house and he was trying to get me to
clean some other things.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Anyway, that's my story.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, yeah, So shout out to all the custodio workers
out there that are that are you know, doing that
job and it's a humbling probably a job for them,
but I'm gonna tell you there's so much grace in
what they do. So thank you to all the custodio
(11:56):
workers and the people who do it without complaining, the
people who do it and come in our homes and
all these different things and clean our houses and don't
tell our business. Thank you to all the custodia workers,
all the house cleaners, all the people that do that
for a living.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
God bless you.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Okay, a few quick things and we'll get to the phones.
I see y'all are trying to get up in here.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Fam.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You the guy who called the honeybees, he said what
he said about the honeybees and ozimpic, he apologized. I
just wanted to share that with you guys. He said
his comments were directed toward the ASU. Those comments he
you know, they were hurtful and disrespectful. So he saw
the era of his ways and he came out and
apologized because he was about to lose that good job.
(12:47):
But I don't know, he may still, but anyway, he apologized.
So there's that. I hate to tell y'all. I'm gonna
be in here for a hour today. I sat in
for BEV today and I had no idea being here
since this morning till now because I've been here usually
every now and then i'll take a break and get
(13:08):
out of you know, able to do that. I didn't
get a break today, so I did bring my lunch,
and I have had lunch. But y'all, at five o'clock,
we're gonna do some regular things. We're gonna play some music,
and I'm sorry, I can't do it today. Your girl
is just you know, not the show. I mean, you
(13:30):
know the show. I'm gonna cut it short and I
hate to do that to you, but we're gonna be
back to our regularly, regularly schedule program on tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
But a few more things.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Let's see you ever gone to well as a woman,
And when you hear stories like this, it makes you
a little weary. And Oxford man, you hear about him
spending time, he's spending time in jail because he put
a hidden camera in the restroom.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Lock him up and keep him there.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Put it in the restroom of a business. At that
can you imagine how? I'm not gonna go into it,
but that mm hmmm. He should have never done nothing.
And Google, Welcome.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
To West Memphis is what they're saying. Okay. The mayor
of West Memphis had some things to say.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
When Google, because Google is here. I don't know if
y'all know it or not, but yeah, they are here
or where they're there. They're over there, and he's he's
he's pretty happy.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
About Google being in the house. You're throwing your hat.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
They're gonna be at Google.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, Google, come on now.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
So Google, welcome to West Memphis better known as Best Missus.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Okay, it's the largest investment in the state history for
for them, and that's the big news for Mayor Marco McClendon.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I am curious.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
They they that's that's their x AI. How's that gonna
work out for them? And how's it gonna work out
for us? Because whatever affects them will affect us. Whatever
affects us them on our side affects you know, whatever
affects us on our side affects them. Whatever affects them
on their side will affect us similar, very similar to
(15:39):
x AI. Two of them might be some more common.
I'm just saying, let's go to the phone and see
what y'all talking about.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
W D I A Hello, Hello, are you doing?
Speaker 8 (15:50):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I'm good, mister w J how are you?
Speaker 9 (15:54):
I'm not gonna talk long today, but I'm tatical to
that point.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yes, sir, can you turn that radio down in the
background for me because I can hear that a little
bit too too too loud?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, and you.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Get over your lives. Belong to the youth to lead
you the path. But I'm looking at the two different mayors.
That mayor in West Memphis. There's a total different young
mayor than the mayor we have over here.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Why do you say that these things?
Speaker 9 (16:27):
It's totally different look at the big ideas he's getting
over there, Google and stuff like that, and it's it's
the police department is letting people know if you if
you do certain stuff over there, you're gonna get knocked
to their bitch.
Speaker 10 (16:38):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
But I want to tell you where this mayor failed
and anybody can go a long.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
Way in or whatever.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
We got people here now hunting gang members down, locking
them up, and people as murderers and things. This mayor
here had a meeting with the gang members. What you
should have been doing? It was I'm saying, this boy
ain't never walked outside the house to win a ghetto
no where.
Speaker 10 (17:06):
Has been uh covered up by his.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
Mother and father all his life. We needed to be
had the task force when we had these gang members.
You're shaking hands with gang members, knew who they were.
And now these people are coming in town, the same
gang members the thousand things that killed people. They locking
them up and just gonna marry. The truth is is true.
(17:34):
This man had a meeting when he first had to
be married. He was how great was that They're gonna
have a bunch of gang members? You know who they were?
The police parblate that woman knew who it was because
they went and gathered them all out. They had them
on downtown on paper. Now these people come in and
locking them up. But you had a meeting with them
(17:56):
and drag calls.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I guess you think they dragon Coco or whatever they did.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
And now I guess they had the pressures farm, because
how sweet it was. It sounded like a sweet good
beating all we had dignitarians. The meaning they were dignitarians
that day.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I think wrong.
Speaker 9 (18:15):
We should put that mayor. We should have put that mayor,
that mayor in west members if you watch that compared
to black young mayors, to what's going on the good man?
We've got Google, What does this man get closed down
one of the biggest hotels downtown?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Mm?
Speaker 9 (18:33):
Yeah, And I looked over there on Second Street they
opened up a little billy hotel. Somebody got going.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
On all day.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
It doesn't have to be a great big picture. Put
his man do something there, think, but the county got
stuff out of here, going another county mayor out here.
It's shutting stuff down there. You can't build a jail
all of a sudden. These people do not know what
they're doing over here.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
I got you and I'm gonna say this while let
it go.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
This young mayor we got some of the college said,
I don't know why they get the young man. Bring
the police chief out to meet them, folks to come here.
Speaker 1 (19:06):

to say.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
But I believe Marco mcclear man. He's a good marriage.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
But you know, I disagree with them closed their hotel
downtown because song.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
We hadn't had the All Star.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Game since we had to pay this song.
Speaker 11 (20:45):
We don't have We can't accommodate businesses. So you know,
I guess he's really not gonna cumminate business now. Get
everybody had to go stay oh in Wist, Membland some
of the All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah, so you know you got to think about that
this form and.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Not what almost twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You know, we haven't had an All Star Game yet. Mmmm.
We thought about that on hum you know what, I
not not recently.
Speaker 11 (21:14):
Yeah, we don't have nowhere to stay. That's why we
haven't had one. Yeah, we got had one. Everyone with
a new stadium, the newest stadium. They then you know
they they be up for the All Star Game. But
we couldn't have one because we couldn't tell me their
people to say. So just why you know, closing hotels
now it's not a good thing.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So I don't know.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
We're gonna make it suttle bit.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
We went through rubble stuff, so we'll be all right,
that's right.
Speaker 11 (21:42):

to these phones today. W d I A hello?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (22:00):
How you doing storming?
Speaker 11 (22:01):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I'm goodness, Rob? How are you look?
Speaker 13 (22:03):
I talked to stand this morning when I was telling him,
I drove from Tulaomer to rent to Riverdale and back,
and yesterday I saw three paper tags and normally it's
twenty plus. Oh wow, did the same thing today of storming,
And I promise you got how true?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Didn't I see one paper tag?
Speaker 5 (22:23):
What?
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (22:25):
So it's that's Look, that's making a difference with the
tags already.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Now there's other stuff. We got to wait and seek it.
But I know the.
Speaker 13 (22:32):
Tags are making a difference because you know they pulling
them over. When that today they had about five.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
And I don't know, probably had them for seat belts.
Speaker 13 (22:40):
But I saw five people pull it over and being
detained by the national by National Guard, the state troopers.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah. Yeah, So it's it's definitely making a difference.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
It's making a difference. And this is just the beginning
of it. But it's making a difference.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
I mean, because I mean, I value and before I
say anything, I make sure I study.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
But I didn't see one paper tag there. And that's
and I'm doing to see in twenty plus every day
from the little shut run that I do every day.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, but not one.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Nobody's beeding. These people are not playing to me.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
No, they're not now, they're not playing.
Speaker 13 (23:19):
No, And when they leave they need to steal and
force this paper tag loss.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
And then because everybody's stopping, most of them don't have
the information they need.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Now.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Now, every once in a while you have a call
or later model car that has.
Speaker 13 (23:33):
The paper tag, but it's different than the one you
see flapping.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah. And I don't know why people complaining. Some people
are complaining, but every little bit helps, and I can
see a difference in this. I guess where you go
home and get you some risks.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yes, ma'am, you're doing an eleve job.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
You're doing an a job.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Uh huh m m.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
You know that's one thing about a rich person. You know,
people that have money in power, they don't listen to people.
They do whatever they want to do. You know, there's
some people that do listen to folks. But I bet
you he not listening to nobody. I bet you they
told him, sir, don't do it, and he said, ah,
I'm doing it anyway.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Miss Shelby, Hey, miss Mayor, she says, West Memphis mayor

is what she says. I Miss Couch she says, Hey, Stormy,
he didn't see the paper tags because they are staying
parked at the house. Young August says, hey, Auntie, hey girl.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Joe Bullard released a statement of apology the day you
covered the story. Yesterday was announced that the Swack find
Fam you ten thousand dollars and suspended Joe for the
next two football games. I just hope the young ladies
are okay, because I've seen so many cruel comments on
social media earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
They are.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
They already had to deal with one of the dancers
being murdered.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
What Oh my goodness, well.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
She says now this hopefully they're staying away from social media.
That is, oh my goodness, man, pretty sad.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I didn't know all that August. I was a little
up and it done brought me down. Let me go
to the phones. W D I A hello, so saw
mister red Wing.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
Hey, Hey, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I'm good, it's my new bff. Y'all.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Mm hm, you need to say I'm blackcastic.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I am black tastic and so are yes you are.
Speaker 12 (26:40):
Yes, you are so good seeing you other night.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Man.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
That was such a wonderful time I had with you.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Guys.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
Man, I appreciate that so much.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
We had a good time with you. Thank you for
being there, and thank you for my umbrella. It's right
here beside me.
Speaker 10 (26:55):
You're You're so welcome.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I cherish it.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
And you know, I wanted to I wanted.
Speaker 12 (26:59):
To address the conversation about the mayors. What the brothers
don't understand, and I respect his opinion is that the
West Memphis is you can do a rock from the
bridge across to the other side of West Memphis, and
that doesn't take anything away from the.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Great work that mayor has done.
Speaker 12 (27:17):
Because he has done a great job from the time
he walked in that door. And it's like one caller said,
he had a lot of support. So you know, he's
been there for a number of years. But how many
mayors have you know, they're ever taken time to stop
and talk with gang leaders.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
Think about that for a moment. He can't change the problem, he.
Speaker 12 (27:34):
Can't change it overnight, but at least he had the
courage and the strength to stand up and talk with
them and actually one thing or the other, and that
that was to to you know, lay off the problem
of crime and hurting people and or find a way.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
To make life and make life better.
Speaker 12 (27:53):
For yourself and your family. I'm sure he want along
those lines. So you know, then, one thing I've.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
Never heard of people's.
Speaker 12 (28:00):
Say about the mayor in West Memphis.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
He didn't have black folks call him up.
Speaker 12 (28:03):
Tanner Down criticized him before he walk in the door.
Good and we've been pretty good at that tanning Down.
And then Memphis is a large city and our mayor
walked in on a hand full of problems. He didn't
walk in here like Mayle Klinton did and had an
open station and all the support he needed. He walked
in with his hand full of nothing but trauma and
(28:26):
issue and problems in the city.
Speaker 10 (28:28):
And he's a young man. I often wonder.
Speaker 12 (28:31):
Of Storman with all the males who ran for offices
and those who've been in office, who said they really
really loved Medsin's and they had all these wonderful plans.
Of course they didn't wear.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
Some of them. Why have they not got with this
young male to help.
Speaker 12 (28:45):
Him along the way, to encourage him, to empower him,
to use some of their supports since they said they
loved message so much. He needs all the help that
he can get, not just some other politicians, but he
needs help.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
From us in the community.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
So you know, who's to say he's not getting that support,
because he could be getting that support.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
We just don't know.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 12 (29:07):
I'm sure he'd get a lot of support.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
But there's a lot of work to be done in
this city.
Speaker 12 (29:12):
There's a lot more work in Unificens than it is
in west ryand I'm sure.
Speaker 14 (29:16):
And so on.
Speaker 12 (29:16):
One of the last things you said, you're talking about
what I think is called post somatic slave.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
Syndrome, and that starts from.
Speaker 12 (29:24):
The book Doctor Jordia Grew talks about that. A lot
of the trauma pain that we experienced these flavor that
stuff is still.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Alive in us.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Yes, because we have witnessed it.
Speaker 12 (29:34):
We watched, we've been talkt we have some of our
parents and loved ones and friends of expence and every
day now we're seeing the residue of it.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
You see, it's still going on today. So we can't
be nothing but bothered by it.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Right, And I think some of it and thank you
for calling mister Redwings, some of that is secondhand too,
because now we got social media that makes it worse.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
WD. I A hello much, How you doing?
Speaker 11 (30:02):
I don't know, I know, I'm a Arkansas two and uh,
we're just getting them squirrels as well. I don't know

you know my homeboy Stacked.
Speaker 2 (30:14):

got a new mayor over there. The governor gave y'all
a new mayor.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Did you know that?
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (30:25):

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah, the new mayor. Did you grow up?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
No, I grew up with Stack three.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Okay, I'm talking about your new mayor over there, Joseph Whitfield.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
Yeah, I know Joseph, but you know he was after me.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Oh okay, okay, he yeah, looks like a young guy.
He looks like a young man.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
I mean, hopefully he can change it, you know. But uh,
you know, Callum. Grandmother had a club. That's why I
first met Callum down there in West Halton and grandma
had a club down and called kill and I met
I met call of years ago.
Speaker 14 (31:08):
Down there before, you know, for the video stuff.
Speaker 11 (31:11):
Uh uh, the mayor here, when they did that press company,
they didn't invite the mayor or the chief of police, but.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Didn't they come to message.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Well, last year.
Speaker 11 (31:20):
Dore investigating on the police department and found out that
it was corrupt and all that. So why would they
call them to come to a press company when I
already know police department it's corrupt. The judge just said
that when his what take care of somebody got killed
and he pulled himself off the.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Top of Red Nigga's caser.

You know, he said the same thing, say when you
got game members.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
Inside the police department.

square miles. I mean, may and Malcolm McLean are doing

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Now? You uh uh uh uh No, you aren't doing that.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
And you're coming up in here what I'm saying.
Speaker 17 (37:27):
And that's what they did last We know they don't
have a press company. Got out, ma'am, that are cheap?
Speaker 14 (37:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Well I can't you know, I don't know what was
happening in mister Joe p and thank you for calling.
But I think that was for the police department. I think,
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
They don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I saw that meeting that they went to the other night.
Man if all y'all said, we hey, we'll know what's
going on either I paraphrase, uh, but I think that's
what he said. W D I A hello, Hello call
of you there. All right, he's not there. We're moving
on w D I A hello, hey, good afternoon storm,
(38:10):
and he there.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
I'm quickly the reason for.
Speaker 18 (38:16):
First thing, the reason that the mayors weren't involved in this,
because believe it or not, and people just gotta have
to wrapist around their head. We're under occupation right now.
It's gonna get worse. That's because it's the ORG chart.
They're right there, lead the president down to Lee and
(38:37):
it stops that lead. He don't go down any further on.
Speaker 7 (38:40):
That ORG chart because they say, wait, wait.
Speaker 18 (38:42):
What kind of chart or organization chart?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Oh, the art chart.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
So that's what that's what it is.
Speaker 18 (38:49):
So of course they left them now because to them
they don't matter, because they aren't run shot over. They
running over them. They're gonna run shot over them anyway,
because to them that they are, they are there, they
don't matter. To put it, explain that it don't matter.
And it's well, they gotta tell Memphis we have to
(39:10):
buncle in because we're in for a hard ride right now.
And I pray that the young people in Mysis when
the guard comes in full force, do not because the
President is determined that mythis is gonna be the place
where he's gonna declare martial law because he thinks that
these young hot heads with their guns are gonna shoot
(39:32):
that those with the guard I got you.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Miss Rita, thank you so much. W d I A
hello him?
Speaker 14 (39:39):
How are you doing today?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Hey David, I'm good. How are you I'm doing.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
I'm doing well.
Speaker 14 (39:44):
First of all, I'm glad I was listening today and
I heard your comments about the situation with the that
you work for.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
And the thing that.
Speaker 14 (39:53):
I thought for thought of in the image of you
running is that I'm glad you're safe.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Yes, because thank many.
Speaker 14 (40:00):
After thank God, because there are many African American women
who are not.
Speaker 11 (40:05):
Yes.
Speaker 14 (40:06):
Yes, So I'm glad to say. Second no, you're welcome.
And I'm sure the man you got not ain't gonna
go for that food. So m you like that?
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Who got that song? I can't go for that?
Speaker 14 (40:20):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Now.
Speaker 14 (40:21):
Secondly, I was the one who asked Mayor Mary Young
to speak to the game. Now I'm not I don't
know whether he did it, because I did. I doubt it.
Somebody else probably even maybe told him to do that earlier.
But I asked him on w Di I a on
stand show that why don't you talk to the game.
And the reason why I asked him was that Condo
(40:42):
Lezu's rights cousin, who's also an attorney in LA did
the same thing and did Lord the temperature and Lord.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
The violence got you.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
David.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
I hate to cut you off because I know you're
gonna say something good, but I got to run and
get to the rest of the callers.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
H w D, I A hello there.
Speaker 11 (41:03):
I just want the people to said back, y'all had
all these black leaders, they wasn't doing nothing.
Speaker 14 (41:09):
Y'all sit back, and that the Republican Party hand.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Is somewhere gone somewhere with that w D, I A hello, Hey, hey,
coming man, how are you?
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I'm going good? I just want to know.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
I want to know why are people.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Calling and acting acting like.
Speaker 19 (41:31):
A great performance, like they are really really bothered about
the fact that the mayor and the chief wasn't invited
to the conference? And then another question, what difference would
it make had they been there or not?
Speaker 4 (41:44):
To you?
Speaker 1 (41:45):
To you that are that are pinding a.
Speaker 19 (41:46):
Great, big problem with it as long as the work
is being done. Wasn't nothing being done before they got here?
And and and somebody please tell me one incident where
some citizen has.
Speaker 7 (41:58):
Been assaulted, mishandled in.
Speaker 19 (42:01):
A bad way, you know, uh anything, all these different
theories y'all had before they got here, give me one instance.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
Talk to you all, ladies.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Storm all right, coming, Man, thank you so much. W
d I A hello?
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Doing good brother Bernard? How are you doing well? Storm?
Speaker 16 (42:19):
You know what, before before I let you go, I
must say I agree with Clyde, I agree with Tom
and man uh and it was it was no disrespect
of the White House officials to.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Not include uh young and.
Speaker 14 (42:35):
And Davids in that meeting.
Speaker 16 (42:38):
They might compromise the operation.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
But they might have been there.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
They could have been sitting in the audience or standing
on the side, and we just didn't see them.
Speaker 8 (42:47):
Well you know what, well if they if they were,
then uh that that that might help. But they seem
to be openly not in support of that decision, so
you know, it can possibly compromise the operation. And I'm
so glad that the other agencies are leading this, but
(43:08):
you know what's starting before I let us go on
this note, the only mayor old candidate or judge or
whomever I've seen in the public position elected official as
willing to.
Speaker 12 (43:20):
Get with people on the ground where they are.
Speaker 16 (43:22):
Was Judge Joe Brown, appreciate you for taking my calls.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
All right, thank you so much for making that call
and for giving me a quick comment. I appreciate that.
Let's see, gang members are terrorists. You should never negotiate
with terrorists. Never from Memphis man. Let's see, Big Hebrews says.
The real criminals are the ones bringing forth the digital
ID that'll be coming real soon to America. People do
(43:46):
your research on this digital ID. The West Memphis Mayor
comes from the mud, just like Willie Harrington. That's why
more people relate to the West Memphis mayor. The Memphis
mayor is the mayor memphasis of privilege. Snop, get on
out of here with that. Got out of here anyway.
That's gonna do it for the show today. We'll be
(44:07):
back tomorrow and back on track tomorrow too. I sat
in for bed today and so I've been working a
long time. I feel like I've been working on a
chain game. Is that how you said, a chain game? Well,
y'all know what I'm talking about. I've been working hard. Yeah,
old folks will say, I feel like I've been rolled
(44:27):
hard and put away with. I have no idea what
that means. Oh, I feel like that today. I'm not
gonem gonna be playing some music for you, but we're
gonna stop the conversation early today and again we'll be
back on track and on schedule two hours tomorrow. All right,
I'll see y'all tomorrow. We're ten seventy. Well, no, yeah,
I will be here with you. I'm staying till seven.
(44:49):
But this portion of the show
