It's gonna trickle down to the grocery stores, to the farmers,

(04:25):
to the workers. And he said, SNAP is free money,
but it's not free money. It's kind of like when
you retire you get that money. Now, that's free money
because you're not working for it.

worked for.

Speaker 9 (06:37):
You're back now.

Speaker 8 (06:39):
I'm glad we can hear and I'm here Jackson. There's
a word out there called benefits when you're working home.

Speaker 10 (06:46):
Wow, man, stop doing that stuff, Jackson.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Not talking about you, unforgetful, But when people do that
and don't pay it back, what is it free money?

You can say that I don't want to put myself
in a debt like this. So if I don't do
credit card, don't do people borrow.

Speaker 8 (08:08):
If I can't, I can't say and have it on
my own, then you know I don't need it.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
But do people borrow money from you?

Speaker 7 (09:48):

Speaker 1 (09:50):
I know that's right. Thank you so much for calling
in w D I A Hello, Hello, call you there.

Speaker 9 (10:00):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay, I know that's you, Marcus. But for whatever reason,
your call ain't coming through. You're not coming through, you know.
I guess I will try to. I don't think people
know how when you when you're at your job and
you're trying to do your job, and and you how
discouraging that is. And not only is it discouraging, is stressful.

(10:28):
It can get stressful. But we're gonna go on and
we're gonna push it. We're gonna make it. So I
will share with you some of the things that I've
already shared. What I was gonna tell you guys, was
some of the organizations and things like that that have
stepped up and they're going to be doing. There are
a lot of churches in our area that have decided

(10:50):
that they're going to help people if the SNAP benefits
and if the government doesn't, you know, figure out a way.
But here's the bad thing. Okay, people that are not
getting their SNAP benefits that won't start until what Saturday.
But but the federal workers. Man, those folks haven't been

(11:11):
working they I heard this later right here, she was
on TV and and it just broke she's a she's
a federal worker, and and it just kind of broke
my heart.

Speaker 9 (11:24):
We haven't hurt anybody. We don't deserve this.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
What does how this distribution me?

Speaker 9 (11:34):
It means a lot to me.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
It means the world to me, what they're doing, because
sometimes you for you feel forgotten.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
You're going to work to help people.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
That's our job to help people. That's always the we
go in every single day.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
This is day twenty weeks.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
The last pay check we got was for seven days
through the end of September. Wow, that's.

Speaker 7 (11:59):
There.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Every single thanks.

Speaker 9 (12:06):
We've ben't hurt anybody.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I promise you.

Speaker 9 (12:08):
We give our best.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
We have good grouple that go to work every single
day to.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
Give that bank.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
I just don't understand that that was a federal worker.
So they haven't been getting paid. It's been over a
month for them. And hearing that lady, I'm gonna tell you,
she she kind of brought it on home. Made me
a little bit sad. It made me really sad. So
it made me start thinking about, you know, all of
the organizations out there that are trying to help, you know,

(12:38):
even some of the churches that are getting together. The
Mid South Food Bank is helping. Let's see today they
had a food pantry today, but tomorrow they're going to
have one at the Advent Presbyterian Church eighteen seventy nine
Germantown Parkway, and that's going to be an eight thirty

(12:59):
a m Till eleven am. And the nine oh one
Community Fridges. They're they're for people. The organization fights food
insecurity in Memphis, and you can grab what you need
from their stocked fridges. Their fridges are located at one
thousand Cooper three sixty Tillman six eighty five South Highland

(13:24):
seventy four hundred Cordova Club Drive, East eleven seventy Mullens Station,
and then the Catholic Charities of West Tennessee. They're open
thirteen to twenty five Jefferson Avenue. You can go by
nine am until eleven am up until tomorrow, or you

(13:47):
can call them and make an appointment nine oh one
seven two two four seven zero two. So if you
if you're at home and you can write that information
down and they're all on social media, share it with
some people and tell them to you know, share it
with some o folks and hopefully, you know, people will
find out and they go and get some help. Maybe

(14:09):
you've got a friend who is in need, and if
you got it and you know that they work for
the government, do like i'nforgetful, slide them some cash. You
know what I'm saying, then don't even expect it back.
If we all get together and help people that we know,
I think we can, we can help them make it

(14:32):
through this. My prayer is that this government shut down
ends sooner than later. But if it, if it does not,
and if it lingers a little bit, there are places
that are out there to help. There are places, and
here's the thing. Those places are growing. More and more

(14:56):
people now have decided they're going to do something to
help these federal workers and to help these moms and
dads put food on the table, put food on their
tables for their children. Let's go back to the phones.

(15:16):
WDI A Hello, you know I can Marcus, how you doing?

Speaker 14 (15:25):
Every time black people start to talk, some sinse them,
jokers find a way to interrupt it all.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
It's deliberating. All it ain't.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
But oh.

they find.

It really is even up in here. I'm not I'm
not sure why every now and then. We we just
have issues we lately, but we got some people in
the building that's trying to make sure that all of
that is fixed. Thank goodness.

Speaker 7 (20:12):
Woo.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
All right, y'all, we're gonna come back and we're gonna
talk some more, and I'll share some of the things
that I didn't get to share with you earlier. And David,
I see you hold the known. If y'all want to
get in here, call on in and talk to him,
and let's get into the conversation today. Nine oh one
five three five, nine three four two eight hundred five
zero three nine three four two eight three three five

(20:34):
three five nine three four two. Listen. We'll be back
in a moment. Because some of y'all all you could
hear was dead air, so we apologized for that, but
really there was nothing that we could do about it,
and nothing I could do about it. We this morning,
while Stan was on the radio, he had to move
into another studio and I am in that studio myself,

(20:59):
and so we thought everything was gonna be fine. But
for whatever reason, when after that, from three to three thirty,
everything was and then I guess things that go bump
in the night. Have no idea what happened, but I
do know that in a couple days Halloween will be

(21:20):
here October thirty first. But you know what some people
are doing for Halloween now, some people have these interesting
Halloween displays at their homes, and I'll tell you about
one that I heard about, well maybe a couple of them.
But anyway, here's what people are doing November one. You know,

(21:41):
nonprofits and some citizens. They've come up with some great
ways and ideas to help out. So they're gonna be
handing out a lot of people. I've decided to hand
out non perishable food items for Halloween along with candy. Yes,
forty two million Americans are currently served by SNAP, and

(22:03):
many of them kids. So earlier this week, United Way
Family Resource Network they posted on their social media, you know,
urging followers to consider handing out non perishables to trigger
treaters okay, and included ideas for what to hand out,

(22:24):
including those Raymond noodles. People love them. The kids love them.
Raymond noodles. They also included microwaveable macaroni and cheese and pretzels. Now,
Caroline Weeks a physician's assistant and registered dietitian nutritionists. She

(22:45):
also posted a video and she's also doing interviews to
push that idea. So a lot of other people are
doing it too. People are getting in and they're coming
up with ideas, and they're coming up with ways to
help out the commun unity. So if you're handing out candy,
consider non perishable food too. Now that's not a new

(23:09):
idea for me, because I did it a long time ago.
Years ago. Those kids would come to my door. They
got two things. They got a gospel track, they got
some candy, some peppermints, and they got a banana. Now,

(23:31):
I don't know what I was thinking why I gave
them kids banella's, but I did, and maybe because it
was all that was in the house. I don't know
why I did that, but that was one year an
interesting thing that I gave out. Following I was wondering
why them kids stopped coming to my house, and they
did they stayed. Well, anyway, let's go to the phones.
WD I a hello, Hello, Hey there, how are you.

Speaker 7 (23:56):
I had.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
I'm good guy.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Oh yeah, you're on the Chipmunk line. Okay, well it
is what he did, well, David. Yeah, I'm so sorry
because you've been waiting a minute. Oh, call me back,
call me back, and I'm gonna come right on to you. Yeah,
I'm gonna call me right back, call me right back.
Hopefully when he calls back, he won't be on the

(24:24):
Chipmunk line because it got Carl yesterday. Carl was trying
his best to get off in here, and he ended
up on that Chipmunk line twice. And so hopefully this
is the thing that they're gonna fix. My goodness, I
don't like it. We don't want it.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
W D I A hello, hellotiful, hear me.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Hey there, William, I can hold on for me. W
D I A hello. Okay, much better. William, forgive me,
Let me get to uh uh William, forgive me. Let
me get to David real quick. Okay, we'll come back
to you. All right, all right, thank you. Damn there
you go. Talk to me. Wait, hold on, hold on

(25:04):
real quick because I got some people calling in there.
We go, David, talk to me.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Are we good?

Speaker 17 (25:10):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Very good?

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Okay, first, let.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
Me announced I don't know whether you announced it when
you first was on air.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
I was actually cooking some spaghetti.

Speaker 6 (25:21):
The former cop they killed, Sonya Mancy, has been found guilty.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Thank god.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yes, I saw that story.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Good good.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
I'm for cops defending their lives and themselves in the
line of dot it.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
But that ain't what that was.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
And my humble no way. If you felt that threatened,
you had no business being a cop.

Speaker 9 (25:44):
But let me tell you this, lady, did you.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Know you my girl?

Speaker 6 (25:48):
But please tell me how many of our children have
to have to stop in order to be unacceptable? That's
my question, because I hear people call and they talk.
The first thing they talk about is how you know,
I'm for people who need food stamps who can't work

(26:11):
or you know, off the job. But then they say,
but those people who are able by it, they should
be working.

Speaker 9 (26:17):
Well, but that's the law. So if that's the law,
and we have an.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
Infrastructure that takes their applications and figure that out and
grant them those services or not, isn't that.

Speaker 7 (26:32):
What we supposed to depend upon?

Speaker 13 (26:33):
Are y'all saying that.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
That there's all these people that are getting it and
the people who are supposed to be interviewing and researching
them aren't doing their job.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
My thing is this, That's a good question and a
good point, David. They're not supposed to be giving it
to people that aren't supposed to have it.

Speaker 6 (26:52):
Well, we know people get past the system, but if
you're saying, if you say that the majority of the
people are get you pass the system, and that's another
problem altogether. Right, Yes, Okay, let me say this that
I always talked the three headed monster. One thing I
really appreciate about my college when I finally graduated from

(27:17):
was that.

Speaker 9 (27:18):
We had to take a religious religious court, a religious court.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
Scuse me, and I'm you know, people know I said
it on the radio. I'm a center. I'm trying to
do right, but I pray and I'm gonna pray for
those people who lost their jobs, you know, folks who
ain't getting this snap all that. But it's funny to
me that the three headed monster, Muslim, Christians and Jews,

(27:41):
they always find a way to kill children. Whether you
talking about the Muslims in today, whether you're talking about
the Jews in gobsm or whether you're talking about the
Christians there who let a whole warehouse of food for
across the What was that was that in Africa? I
think let it fall rather than you know, distribute out

(28:05):
to babies who needed it to live.

Speaker 7 (28:09):
But because we don't see that.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
But but David, that's where you have to define whether
they really are what they say they are.

Speaker 6 (28:15):
You know what I'm saying, Well, well, now you know,
I just like the idea of parting our hypocrisy because
I am a center that don't even make it the
church every Sunday. And I think that the symbol of
evil is killing babies, That's what I believe, or physically

(28:35):
abusing them, or sexually abusing children. The same people in
this country who talk about a fetis and will kill
you over a featist got no problem with slowly starving
children and call themselves a Christian nation and a Christian nationalist.
That's unacceptable to me.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Look, we do not have them.

Speaker 9 (28:56):
So get God bless and please.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Keep on mentioning what you mentioned.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
It thought about how people are helping each other, but
the but the infrastructure is not set up for us
to handle what is common. If they don't know snap
benefit's back, babies will die. There are people who have
to take medicine with food.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
That's right, now, you're right about that food. Yeah, so, but.

Speaker 6 (29:21):
Anyway, I hope you get you get your telephone, and
you're right. I really am sorry that you guys are
going through that because we appreciate y'all coming on the radio.
But before y'all make statements about folks that ain't working
and all this kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Think about the children first.

Speaker 11 (29:37):
Ain't that what church tell y'all to.

Speaker 17 (29:38):
Do the least of me?

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Have a good all right, thank you, David, appreciate you
calling in. You know, that's why we love dialogue because
you can you can you know, you get to hear
other people's points of view. That's probably why lawyers are
so important. The good ones know how to point out
things that other people take for granted. You know what

(30:02):
I'm saying. I'm sure David has heard. He should be
a lawyer. WD.

Speaker 9 (30:06):
I A hello, how are you hey?

Speaker 1 (30:10):
I'm good? MS coach, how are you?

Speaker 9 (30:12):
I'm good?

Speaker 3 (30:13):
I'm good good.

Speaker 12 (30:15):
But I kept hanging up because I normally hear that,
you know, the radio as.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
It's talking out and hear anythings. Yeah, it's indifferent. Today
it's different. We're in in another studio and we've been
having issues. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (30:29):
For anyway, baby, I want to tell everyone that if
you do not get your Snap benefits, don't go out
there and do anything foolish because the money that you're
going to use to get out of there.

Speaker 9 (30:43):
You could have bought.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Food with it, you know what I'm saying, right, And
it's time.

Speaker 12 (30:50):
For neighbors, friends and family to come together. Sharing is caring.
So we're gonna keep it together. We're gonna work together
with each other.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
There.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yes, and that's it, Stormy, Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Ms. Scotia Bye bye, bye bye. Hello, what are you
doing all right?

Speaker 7 (31:17):
I'm glad she pointed out the issue that we usually
can hear and can float and see calls coming in,
but that Mad, You're right, David put it in the
way where we it really needs to be on the
news just like that.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (31:34):
So the things I wanted to point out that what
they're fighting for the Republican the Womofice. Where I shut
down is that the DEMA class have clearly shown, like David.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
That if we go with this plan, then but you know.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
One in six people in America it's going to be
without food.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, you know where I hear what you say about clearly,
but I don't see it clearly on either side. I
don't see.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
I don't see.

Speaker 9 (32:05):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
I don't see it clearly. And you can say that,
but I'm from what I'm reading, I don't see it clearly.
That's why you don't hear me say what people are
saying and what this side or that side is saying,
because I don't, I honestly don't see it clearly. I
feel like that that that that these people, all of
them who have money, have forgotten the art of coming

(32:29):
together and helping the people that they serve their constituents.

Speaker 7 (32:37):
You are correct. And so if we're going to choose
the best of the worst, the lesser of the evils,
then to the the Republicans are saying, let's go back
to the old system where it's private insurance, and that

(32:58):
insurance is going to go up for the poor, and
it's gonna, uh most of the time either double and
then possibly triple, but definitely doubles for the poor in
costs of health care, and you know, in the copays
and and all that. So the Democrats are saying, let's

(33:23):
keep Obamacare ACA. That's part of Obamacare in place where
the poor pay according to their income. They the poor
pay less, the government gives more to their co pays,
and the rich pay more and the government gives less
to their co paid. So it comes out even where

(33:45):
you're lifting up the bottom by giving them their.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Co pays and taking from the rich, which can pay
their own copays.

Speaker 7 (33:54):
So they're saying, and look at Obama. And Obama was
in eight right in ACA shortly after, so we're talking
about almost twenty years. It's been seventeen, so almost twenty years.
Do the poor have been given subsidies in order to
help them to stretch their dollar when it comes to
health care and which have an effect on the rest

(34:16):
of their life that the Republicans wants to get rid
of that. They want them to pay double in trouble,
which means less money for food and gas and everything else.
That's the whole difference. That's the whole difference is And
now they're saying, and I'm closing with this, the Democrats
are saying, you see how long Obamacare has been in place.

(34:38):
If we let this go through with the Republicans, they're
going to be paying more money for twenty or twenty
plus years.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
I tell you what we're gonna.

Speaker 7 (34:48):
Fight for these last few months, for a long time
of relief. That's what they're fighting for.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Okay, And I thank you so I'm in love you
love you to thank you so much William for calling
in and sharing.

Speaker 7 (35:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
I think I think sometimes we all have a view
of how we see the side, or we hear this
side saying this and this side saying that that, And
I'm gonna tell you I haven't heard a logical.

Speaker 7 (35:16):
This is just me.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
You say what you want through excuse from either side
to where you stop paying federal workers and where you'll
stop helping people with snap. I ain't heard no logical excuse,
and I don't believe any of it is. Some's got
to give on both sides. Then we go to school

(35:37):
like and and a lot of you. I don't know
if you did it, but did you do like the
debate clubs and stuff like that, where we supposedly learned
how to argue or disagree agreeably. You know what I'm saying.
And you're supposed to get something out of that. Not
only do you get something out of there, but you're
supposed to learn how to work with people. Nobody wants

(36:00):
to work with anybody anymore, nobody. They ain't helping this country.
They ain't helping this country. We're going down, down, down
down if we don't if we don't learn how to

(36:21):
agree on something. It's a shame, a crying shame that
they won't fix what's happening with these federal workers. It's
a crime. It's a crying shame. Literally, somebody tapped the app.
Let me see what they're saying, Hi, Storming.

Speaker 18 (36:40):
I just want to say, Lady d is the most
imperfect person, perfect person i've heard. How is she going
to tell people to not sweitch the small stuff when
people are out here without jobs, short notice, behind rent
and mortgage, and she always want to call and say,

(37:02):
don't switch the small stuff.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Maybe it's small to her, but it's big to others.
All right, let's go back to the phones and see
what you guys are saying. W D I A hello,
Hey hey there, brother Bernard, how are you.

Speaker 18 (37:19):
Doing?

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Will Storm? You know what I must.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
I must agree with brother David and the other gentlemen
when they sort of commented on, uh, these state agencies
not doing their job problem because I have seen it
up quote and personal where entities such as the Tennessee

(37:46):
Department of Labor and Workforce Development will grant benefits to
those people who are uh submitting information with integrity.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yet yearslater they.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
Return some type of finding h that they need to
penalize them for receiving the.

Speaker 7 (38:07):
Benefits and what have you.

Speaker 19 (38:08):
So it's it's in other words, it appears to be
a setup because you know, in what way are they
approving benefits for people without screening properly and in the
in the first place. So uh, at the end of
the day, you know, if you approve something, then I

(38:30):
mean the burden is more so on you because I mean,
what is that to say about the screening process. But
it definitely needs to be brought up. It needs to
be televised, and it needs to be put up under
the microscope because this is this is serious business. And
and then you know they're robbing people of their benefits.
They're saying people were overpaid with other benefits such as unemployment,

(38:55):
and then you know you might start getting into garnishments
and and lapses of different benefits and affecting people's livelihoods.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
So and that is not a good thing, brother Bernard,
at all, say that again said, and that is not
a good thing at all. That's a lot.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
Yeah, and it's and it's and you know what when
you when you sort of pay more attention to it,
you know, it seems as though the task force has
been has been brought the message and then you rob
the people of of of the city from their from
their benefits. Uh So is it a set up to
start urging people to commit acts of crime and so

(39:33):
on because they're starving? So you know, it needs to
be some some some heavy light put on this situation.
But Stormy, I will not hold this take.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
You for taking my car.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
No, thank you, brother Bernard for making that call. Yeah,
I appreciate you very much.

Speaker 6 (39:49):
W d I A hello, Hey Michael.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
How's it going you?

Speaker 3 (39:56):
We're fine.

Speaker 7 (39:58):
The last callers, I agree, especially my brother from another mother, David.
I agree with them. They are one hundred percent rights.
But I'll repeat what I said on yesterday. They don't care.
And when I say they, I mean Republicans, I mean Democrats.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Neither party care.

Speaker 7 (40:14):
You guys can believe the dog and bony show that's
going on right now. It's not about the suffering of people.
This is political posturing by both parties. They do not
care and people are crying, and the said, you have
people you know that aren't able to pay their bills.
And it's really easy for somebody that has a job

(40:36):
or somebody that doesn't have to worry about their financial
situation to tell somebody what you should have saved money
while you were working, you shouldn't have there. You know,
it's real easy to be a saying in heaven. Yeah,
but see when you're down here in the real world,
real things happen. And I get tired of telling these
good Christians and mythics instead of just praying, get up

(40:58):
off your took us and do something. And don't expect
to pat on the back for it, because you expect
the patting the back for it. Keep it to yourself
because you're doing it for the wrong reason. Do because
it's the right thing to do, and you don't have
to worry about credit or any of that, because it's
the right thing to do. And I don't want saying
about their part. But you were talking about Halloween. To

(41:20):
change the subjects u people's deparations for Halloween and giving
people can to add the conversation with the person in
the Office of Day it was saying they don't like
when old kids, older kids trick or treating. And I've
always been to be opinion, I would rather they be
our trick or treating at seventy sixteen seventeen eighteen than.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Doing something wrong, right.

Speaker 7 (41:41):
I mean, it's candidate, give it to them and they
start coming to your house because you gave them fruits
of the storm it. I'm kiding want that.

Speaker 17 (41:51):
One.

Speaker 7 (41:52):
I may have received the get it and she would
hand out tooth brushes and.

Speaker 20 (41:57):
Stop doing that.

Speaker 7 (41:58):
Share don't want that stuff.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Y'all gonna take them toothbrushes.

Speaker 11 (42:07):
God, but my mom would let up chicken tree.

Speaker 7 (42:09):
Use she ain't do it. I don't want to be batman.
She was like, you can be one of the wise men.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Come on here, boring up this sugar tree.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Come on here, right man.

Speaker 7 (42:19):
But you know you let kids enjoy, you know, let
them enjoy that time, because they don't they only get
to be kids one. And the world is so different
now from when I was a kid, and you have
to worry so much about so much stuff now that
you didn't then let people enjoy it. But that's all
I have in stow me.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Thank you, Michael. I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
Appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Okay. You know what when we were kids. When I
was a kid, because I lived in the country, I
grew up in the country. I was born. I was
born by a river in a little tent just like
that river. Anyway, I was raised in the country.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
And so.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
My school that I went to, instead of us trick
or treating, and I think we might have done that
maybe every now and then, I used to go uptown
because I lived in the country, but instead of us
trick or treating, most often my school would have a
night where we would all get together. It was like

(43:23):
a fun night and we would all go and bob
for apples and you know, do all the fun things
that you know that you know that you do on
nights like that. You know what I'm saying, To keep
the kids safe is what is why my school did that.
So we would always have a great time. All my
classmates and even you know, everybody, we would all go

(43:45):
out to that they'd have a time where you could
dance to music. They'd have a time for you go
in different rooms and you play different games and things
like that. And when my kids were coming along, I
didn't let them drink or treat. I'm just tell you
that right now. Y'all can judge me if you want. True,
they didn't trick or treat, well, we did. We went
to Hallelujah Knight. Got of Like Mike Lee made me

(44:08):
remember that, we didn't do the tricker tree. I didn't
let him do that, but we did. I did take
them and do Hallelujah Knight, and I let him dress up. Yes,
they could be the Wise Man or Moses or Mary
or something like that, you know, but it was different,
you know, back then for me anyway. So I don't

(44:31):
know what your memory of the hollow, you know, the
holiday was. But back then, you know, there were places
that found a safe space for us to be in
to you know, have a good time and to and
to be with the people that we loved and the
people that we wanted to be with. Because that, like
I said, we lived in the country. Everybody lived so

(44:52):
far from each other. Well not everybody, but a lot
of people lived very far from each other. So it
was not safe for us to be out walking at night,
not on the long dark roads.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
Mm.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
And like I said, I took my kids to to
you know, to church. So some people do different things
when it comes to celebrating, and some people, you know,
give out bananas like I did.

Speaker 7 (45:21):
To them kids.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
That was trick or treating. They stopped coming to my house.
But hey, hey, hey, don't judge me. That's all I had.

Speaker 7 (45:26):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Well, it wasn't all I had. I did give them
some candy too. I did give them a banana. I
was trying to help their teeth. And their parents should
thank me. Anyway, We're gonna come back and take your
calls common Man, Joe P. Norman, Meredith, Golden Music. They'd
have a time for you go in different rooms and
you play different games and things like that. And when

(45:47):
my kids were coming along, I didn't let them drink
a treat. And I'm just tell you that right now.
Y'all can judge me if you want to. And they
didn't trick or treat, well, we did. We went to
Hallelujah Night. I gotta like Mike Lee made me remember that.
We didn't do the trigger tree. I didn't let him
do that, but we did. I did take them and
do Hallelujah Night. And I let him dress up. Yes,

(46:10):
they could be the Wise Man or Moses or Mary
or something like that, you know, But it was different,
you know, back then for me anyway. So I don't
know what your memory of the hollow, you know, the
holiday was. But back then, you know, there were places
that found a safe space for us to be in

(46:35):
to you know, have a good time and to and
to be with the people that we loved and the
people that we wanted to be with. Because that, like
I said, we lived in the country. Everybody lived so
far from each other. Well not everybody, but a lot
of people lived very far from each other. So it
was not safe for us to be out walking at night,
not on the long dark roads. And like I said,

(46:59):
I took my kids to you know, to church. So
some people do different things when it comes to celebrating,
and some people, you know, give out bananas like I
did to them kids. There was trick or treating. They
stopped coming to my house. But hey, hey, hey, don't
judge me. That's all I had, is that. Well it
wasn't all I had. I did give them some candy too.

(47:22):
I did give them a banana. I was trying to
help their teeth and their parents should thank me. Anyway,
We're gonna come back and take your calls common Man
Joe P. Norman, Meredith Golden girl, y'all hold on, We'll
be back off there. I was off the air. We've
been having trouble all day. Put them up, coming own
back up. I'm ready to help some people, and we
get on the phone tonight. Call my people. I have

(47:44):
actually a sister that works for the government, and I
have a friend that works for the government. Probably more
people that I know than that that works for the government.
See how I can help, See what I can do.
And it's an interesting time that we live in because
those of us that can help, we know that we
still have bills to pay and all of that. So

(48:10):
you know, maybe all of us can take a break
from maybe getting our hair done this week, or take
a break from from going out to eat, because a
lot of y'all y'all go out to eat a lot.
Excuse me, I'm talking about myself. I go out to eat,
not not a lot, but well too much. And I

(48:34):
think it's time to for me and let me let
me speak for me. For me, I'm making calls this evening.
I sure am uh. Let's go to the app and
and and see what you're saying on this app today for.

Speaker 21 (48:48):
I don't know if you're app working it is not no.
When I call, it goes shout, So I don't know
if I'm holding so I decided to use is until
you So the Democrat is holding on because if they don't,
he'll be more than it. Have help pill or nothing ness.

(49:13):
Now we can survive. We can help each other out
with food.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
Okay, a couple of emails here too. Let's see Samuel
emailed hey there snap. He says, Donald Trump and the
Secretary of Agriculture are breaking the law. There's a contingency
fund that they have available to pay benefits. It's been
there since Obama was in office. And Trump is playing politics.
That's why twenty five states are taking him to court

(49:40):
for withholding benefits. And that's true, sure are twenty five
twenty five states. MS King says, what's going on in
this country is disgrace. We have so much chaos going on,
and to me, both sides are just going back and
forth at each other and no one is bending. But
it's at the expense of the middle and lower class.

(50:03):
A lot of these politicians are corrupting. The president is
the most corrupt of them all. He's trying to work
out deals with other countries while this country is on
fire and he doesn't care. Not only can these politicians
stop this, they could have avoided. This is what she says.
W D I A hello, Hey, hey, I'm good coming man,

(50:28):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (50:31):
I'm all right? All right, good? All right?

Speaker 11 (50:35):
Really say it about what's going.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
On the foremost.

Speaker 11 (50:38):
I certainly I agree with David's kumman about this, the
situation pertaining to the SNAP program. Yeah, yeah, I want
to say this right now. What's going on with the
Democrats and Republicans is something that.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
We can't control. But what we can do is ask
guy says, what can we do? What can we do
about it?

Speaker 11 (51:07):
So I want to not challenge, but ask everybody that
can hear me, people all around this country, ask yourself,
what can you do if you're able to find one
person or one household.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
That you can help.

Speaker 11 (51:21):
If we all do that, we will have done what
we could do, whether it be for one day, for
five days, ten days, or whatever.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Yeah, that's what I'm big.

Speaker 11 (51:32):
This really hurt me on bigging people, Please sacrifice for
somebody else if you have to.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Nobody should be hungry.

Speaker 9 (51:40):
We let's take this upon ourselves to.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Try to help somebody.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
If you just find one person.

Speaker 11 (51:47):
Don't can if you'd have to look for them, please
do it. That's all I got so I can.

Speaker 7 (51:54):
That's all for me.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
All right, Come a man, bless your heart. Yeah, each one,
reach one wd.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
A Hello, Thank Stormy.

Speaker 9 (52:04):
How you doing?

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Hey, I'm good, golden girl. How are you.

Speaker 18 (52:08):
Right?

Speaker 3 (52:08):
All right?

Speaker 9 (52:10):
And my aunt? Yes you are?

Speaker 7 (52:13):
Oh okay.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
Well, I want to say that I totally agree with
David and what he's saying. He kind of stole my
thunder because I thought about the people and guys there
when they was bombing them and they couldn't get the
food trucks through there, and a lot of us were like,
as long as it's not our country, we turn our hands,

(52:35):
you know, so we supply Israel with the bombing to
do what they.

Speaker 6 (52:42):
Need to do.

Speaker 9 (52:43):
Then for keend like they didn't do when they bombed.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
The hospitals and all of that. So my heart went
out for those peoples in Gaza. But I never thought
that a certain type of hunger would hit up. So
it's like it's coming back to haunt us. So Stormy
Dhis has already started the automatives calling to people who
receive Snap benefits. My son he gets one. I'm gonna

(53:07):
get your my son, he gets it, right, he's a
special need adults.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
So you mean they've already started calling people to let
them know, they're telling them that getting them.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
They're giving them that call, you know, automated okay, and
a lot of people are going to get it. But
they kind of hit different because I was shocked, you know,
even though we hear it on TV. But to get
that call to your home, you know, and and saying
that you're not going to get your Snap benefits. Now,
fortunate for me, I do work, so I still have

(53:41):
an income in my home. But for the people who
don't get that call that that's kind of like sad news.
You know that you're not going to get your benefits
for that month.

Speaker 9 (53:50):
So here's the things on me.

Speaker 3 (53:52):
We got all these churches in benefits. Well, we got
churches almost on every corner, and they always preached the
scripture bring all the time to office, to the storehouse.

Speaker 9 (54:01):
But hey, now it's time for everybody.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
To receive from their storehouse that they've been storing.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Up for Well, it's interesting you'd say that Golden girl
because a lot of churches are doing that. A lot
of them, actually the mega churches, A lot of them
have already been Yeah, a lot of them have have
been highlighted on the news stations U because they are
doing so.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
Yeah, a lot of really time to step up and
there and everybody's stormy.

Speaker 9 (54:32):
Don't do what you know when they give the food.
Some people have special diets.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
So I hope what they consider giving some food cards
like from Kroger's or something like that, some food gift
cards because some people don't. Specially dye for medical different types.

Speaker 9 (54:48):
Of medical needs. The last thing, Stormy, as far.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
As the House, the Republican got the majority of the House, right.
So my thing is, if they can't come to an agreement,
come to some type in agreement so the people can
eat because they're hurting, whether you agree or not, So
go ahead and agree to whatever it is on the table.

Speaker 9 (55:14):
So let the people eat while they're hurting.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (55:21):
Don't let them start until you come to an agreement.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Go ahead and beat them while you work it out
in Congress. They don't have to suffer. But like you said,
if they let the children over across water suffer then
what do they care about our own? Thanks for taking
the calls for me.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
All right, Golden girl, thank you so much for making
a great Yes you too, you too, Bless your heart.
WD I A hello, heyhow me her today? Hey, I'm
doing pretty good, Maritis. How are you doing on this
good looking wet Wednesday.

Speaker 20 (55:58):
Gloomy wednesdays? Exactually I'm going wonderful. Thank you for asking
for Listen, when I heard.

Speaker 10 (56:02):
You say, neither side is really giving a good excuse?

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Now, I said to me, I said to me, I'm
gonna say that. I said to me, I understand, I.

Speaker 20 (56:14):
Say, I mean, it ain't right.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
I'm just I'm making a comment on.

Speaker 7 (56:16):
That because I fail you on it.

Speaker 20 (56:18):
I understand why you think that, but I'm gonna break
it down how I feel.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
That's okay.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 7 (56:25):
So listen, when we say neither side, I'm gonna say
I'm believe.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
The Republican And this is origin why.

Speaker 16 (56:33):
First of all, the differcrat.

Speaker 10 (56:35):
Had no power. You know, we have no power.

Speaker 20 (56:37):
We had one choice to agree to what they wanted
or if they said, if you don't agree to what
we said, we're gonna punish the nation.

Speaker 7 (56:45):
We're gonna punish America.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
So this is what's going on. So, so man, you
got how many turning do you have your mind?

Speaker 1 (56:52):
I too?

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Two?

Speaker 7 (56:54):
Okay?

Speaker 20 (56:55):
So if you want a ship, a raft or bow
and just say it turns over and you and when
you're kid, make us a safety. Now you got two choices.
You can take your one kid and go on, or
you can sit there and hold out and hope you
able to save the other kid who's still alive.

Speaker 7 (57:10):
How long do you wait before you give up?

Speaker 1 (57:13):
Oh no, uh uh uh, I don't put me in
that one.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
I want to ask you that. I mean, how long
is the okay?

Speaker 20 (57:22):
I want to ask anybody then, how long do you want?
Because that's your situation we're in right now.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
It's republican.

Speaker 20 (57:28):
If the Democrats give up right now, yes, they're gonna
open make up the government, which is regulately because things.
We got a president who knows people need food and
he is the one that's going into say for Democrats,
if you want to bring me, I'm gonna let them first.

Speaker 7 (57:42):
On the other hand, the differ person, I'm.

Speaker 20 (57:44):
Saying, if we staying in to be here for you
right now, we know come the first of the year,
so many people are gonna lose benefits that can save
their lives, like health insurance gonna double. Do you understand
that Harvard Law School came out with something to say.

Speaker 15 (57:59):
It they found medication that they can charge.

Speaker 7 (58:02):
You ten dollars for.

Speaker 20 (58:04):
Our government is allowing.

Speaker 10 (58:05):
Us to pay a thousand dollars for this medication.

Speaker 20 (58:08):
So all I'm standing in the stormings, they know what
they're doing, they can they can do something differently.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
As a Democrat, I do believe that have to go that.
I do believe that. I believe they know what they do.

Speaker 10 (58:19):
Is it's true.

Speaker 20 (58:23):
So I hated, I hated this is happening. But the
different brother's saying if we get in, if we don't
hold out, and they know people are being hurt, but
they but the Repulican is the one sitting it down.
We know the different stas people being hurt. But I
understand if they sign and give me in now, what's
gonna happen later is gonna be ten times for what's
worth now? Think about your grand parents, your children, no insurance.

Speaker 15 (58:46):
I mean it's gonna be devastating.

Speaker 7 (58:48):
So storm at this point, we cannot. We cannot.

Speaker 20 (58:51):
The problem is we've got a president up there who
just don't Democrats don't go either way. It's no way.

Speaker 9 (58:56):
I just want to put that out there in y'all head.

Speaker 7 (58:58):
But thank you so much, Storm put me in.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
You're welcome. Thank you Meredith for making that call.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
Okay, w D I A hello, Hi Stirmer, here you today?

Speaker 1 (59:08):
Hey, I'm good. How were you a black Conservative? I
know you're down in Mississippi tonight to see your favorite people.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
Uh huh, I know.

Speaker 13 (59:16):
I am down here with my brother and sister from
another mother. They're treating me good down here. I feel
like I right at home. You know, they have been
great today. I had to leave a little early get
back because of the bad weather.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
But wait, so you already back home after going down there?
You back already?

Speaker 13 (59:43):
Yeah, I'm I'm back here and I mean to stop
having now where.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Basically I came back a little early.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
But did you see the vice president?

Speaker 13 (59:53):
Uh no, I didn't get a chance to see the
black the vice president. I left you before the vice
president came up. But let me just say this here
real quick. Uh the weather storming.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Real real bad down there. So I'm coming back. I
decided to come back to Messics.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
But let me say this's here, but I.

Speaker 13 (01:00:10):
Did communicate with who I need to communicate down there
about the SNAP programs. Here's what I suggest to have that.
And therefore they want how to eliminate it or you know,
or delay it on the first No better, First, everyone
who's on the SNAP program that's abusing it, you know,

(01:00:34):
or any kind of ways of fraud on there. Eliminate
those individuals. Don't cut off the people who elgible for it.
Just eliminate anyone who's on there.

Speaker 7 (01:00:47):
You know.

Speaker 13 (01:00:47):
They the Trump administration eliminated about a couple million illegals
who are receiving it. So that's what I suggest they do,
is just clean up the UH that benefit row. Every
state can do that, just just you know, just kind
of winging out what's legit, what's not, who's eligible, who's not,

(01:01:09):
because I don't think any everybody, person who's single, don't
have any dependence need to be on the UH the
SNAP program for ten years or five or twenty years.
I have no individuals who've been on food steps for

(01:01:31):
the longest. Everybody falling hard times and they need release.
That's what the SNAP program was for originally, for people
who just really set on hard times, not people who
want to go have sex in the city pop out
babies and didn't want to go down there and be
on the government do for until the child reached kindergartens.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Conservative listen, I got to run. I gotta catch these
other calls. I just looked at the time. Yeah, I'm sorry.
I just looked at the time and I realize I'm good.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
I appreciate you understanding. Yeah, if you guys that I
am going to if you don't mind, well, yeah, may
not even be able to hear me, Lord in Mercy, Yeah,
because we having problems up here. So the people on hold,
they probably ain't can't hear a thing. W D I
A hello, Hello, Hi there, how are you?

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
I'm okay, this is Joyce.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
Hey, miss Joyce. Do me a favor, and I hate
to do this to you. Make your comment as quick
as you can so I can get to the next
element that I got too, Yes, ma'am.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
Okay, how I used today. I agree with Meridith totally
on the shutdown. I think it's totally the Republican's fault.

Speaker 5 (01:02:46):
I think the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
Democrats really don't have a choice if they want to
try to get some of the things done for the
people of their constituents. Then on the thing about the
church is helping people. I think most churches try to.
But I also feel this way, and I know it's
not everybody, but there are people who say, I don't

(01:03:09):
food with them churches, I don't go to them churches.

Speaker 9 (01:03:12):
Uh, they never want to contribute.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
And I don't mean all of them.

Speaker 7 (01:03:16):
There are people who say that it's kind of like
parents who might.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Neglect their children, and then when the children grow up, then.

Speaker 16 (01:03:24):
They say that's my son or that's my daughter, and
if they get sick, they want them to respond to them.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
So I think, yes, the churches should help, but I
don't think there are some people who should be so
hard on the church because they never consider the church that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
I got you, miss Joyce, thank you so much. W
d I A hello, Hey, I'm good. How are you? Janie?
You all right?

Speaker 9 (01:03:53):
Quick?

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Quiet?

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
Okay?

Speaker 22 (01:03:54):
I am.

Speaker 9 (01:03:55):
I agree with Meredith. And the reason why I.

Speaker 22 (01:03:58):
Said that because the Republicans are used in all their
power to make us being to them, to make this
country being to them, and they are abusing their power
and they are in total fault of what's going on,
and they know they are, but they're going to try
to put it on the Democrat because that's what they do.

Speaker 9 (01:04:19):
They never accept they're blamed. That's how I got for you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
I appreciate you calling in WD. I a hello, thank me?

white sisters. And why he asked if all these women
go out and having all these babies and stuff they
had nothing to do with. They still got to eat.

Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
And if you look at it, people having babies, Uh,
you know white women have babies.

Speaker 16 (01:05:03):

In twenty eighteen, the World Economic for Them said that

enemy is.

How is doing this.

can't see, that we're not hearing? What's going on?

Speaker 7 (01:07:09):
Hm?

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
Things that make you say, hmm, seriously, what is happening?
Where are we going? And what's the solution. The solution
is helping somebody mm hm. You want to make a
dent in what's happening in this country right now, then
they help somebody, help somebody that's going through. Pick up

(01:07:33):
the phone tonight. Figure out who you can help and
just do it, you know, make a difference in your neighborhood.

group that gets together, it's if it's if it's a
whole group of women of y'all and and me and y'all,
get together, your neighborhood associations, your homeowners' associations, get together
with these people. Or if you're gonna do it on
