There you go.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
After church, I'm going to have a little dinner with friends.
I don't need anything special, And you know what I'm saying,
as we get up, we don't need all of the
parties and the hoopla. Hey, I'm going to church first
on Sunday. Then after that we'll go. We'll go break
some bread there we go. That's all you need, isn't it. Man?
Doctor Harmer has halflock with see.

Speaker 8 (06:52):
You know, with all the craziness going on in the world, Yes,
you have to slow it down. Yes, for yourself because
the world around you, because it is gonna keep on
trying to push it and make it go too fast.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Brother, and it's going and you're right, and you you
have to doctor Harper. Now as I get older, have
to watch the places that you go, because these folks
are right, you do. You really have to watch the
places that you go. And hopefully where you go there,
doctor Harper, you'll you'll be safe, They'll they'll have some curity.

Speaker 8 (07:20):
It's right.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
So that's why I tell people the only place right
now I'm happy, come on, brother, right and they got
the security. I mean, I feel very comfortable and safe.

Speaker 8 (07:32):
You know, in any environment where you're not safe, you
don't you don't you don't survive, nor do you thrive.
You cannot be in a state of that much emotional
turmoil about your safety and expect to develop your brain
power to be successful that we really can't. You can
be a successful thief maybe, yea. But when you're not
that much that much pressure, you cannot be successful because
being successful takes takes takes time and takes energy. It

(07:54):
takes the studying that you need to do and becoming
proficient in whatever your your talents are. And that's not
out there just for the asking. You have to work
at it.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
And brother, we're working, like you said, and if I
wake up Sunday morning, I'm grateful. I'm thankful. Dtor Harper
made another year, another minute, another hour, another second.

Speaker 8 (08:13):
In your words, you better.

Speaker 9 (08:15):
And you're right.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Well, doctor Harper, I'm so glad to have you back
with me, my brother, my brother, and my tarian brother.

Speaker 8 (08:23):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
So doctor Harper, we'll get started. We have two topics
to get to today. The first one is you can
bring fact based political information to miseducated Trump supporters, but
you can't change their stuck on stupid mindset. Let me
read that again for y'all out here. You can bring

(08:46):
fact based political information to miseducated Trump supporters, but you
can't change their stuck on stupid mindset, Doctor Harper, What
are we talking about?

Speaker 8 (09:00):
Okay? Research conducted at University of California, Berkeley, offered by
David Brockman and Joshua Keellum recruited over three hundred white
males who were strongly conservative Republicans with an average age
of fifty four to do what to examine through their
research if these white Republicans would change their attitudes regarding
Trump and his policies if if they were to watch

(09:24):
up to five hours of CNN per week for one month. Now,
keep in mind, CNN is seen as a liberal network
which provides a more factually based analysis of Trump's political
thoughts and actions. However, these white Republicans who participated in
the study were daily Fox News watchers, who generally watched
up to fourteen hours a week or fifty six hours

(09:46):
of Fox News per month. Now, the question was whether
having these over three hundred white males watching a more
liberal news network would change their political views in one
way or another regarding Trump. The results indicated yes, yes,
those hardened Republican conservative white male viewers after watching more
liberal CNN coverage of the president for up to five

(10:10):
point eight hours per week times one month shifted shifted
their political opinions on a number of issues. Now, this
study was conducted in September twenty twenty, and during the experiment,
the hard nosed, white male Replican Republican participants watched CNN News,
which at that time was headlining and focusing on the pandemic,

(10:30):
the severity of the crisis, as well as Trump's failure
in addressing this deadly disease. In contrast, during the same
four week time period, Fox News downplayed the COVID nineteen
pandemic essentially gave it viewers no information about the fact
that infection rates were much higher in the United States
than in other countries. Fox News did not focus on

(10:50):
some of the mistakes Trump had made managing the pandemic,
and Fox News also focused intensely on racial issues and
racial processs that had followed the police killing of George
Floyd a few months earlier. Now, what are some of
the results? Conservative white male research participants who had watched
at least five point eight hours per week times four

(11:10):
weeks of liberal TNN news did experience an attitude change.
For example, number one, they were more likely to agree
that if Trump made a mistake, Fox News would not
cover it. Number two. They were more likely to believe
that the Trump campaign was not taking significant precautions against
COVID at his campaign rallies. Number three. They were less

(11:32):
likely to believe that Democrats were trying to steal the
twenty twenty election with fraudulent mail in ballots and more
likely to support voting by mail. Number four. They were
less likely to believe that if Biden were elected, more
police would be shot by Black Lives Matter activists. Number five.
They were generally more critical in their evaluations of Trump

(11:52):
and the Republican politicians in general. Number six, they became
more supportive of voting by mail, and number seven, they
lowered their approval of Donald Trump lowered their approval of
Donald Trump. However, they did not become liberals, They did
not embrace Biden, and their attitudes about policing, climate change,
and race were largely unchanged. The authors of the study stated, quote,

(12:17):
We're not turning them into MSNBC or CNN audience, but
they start to realize quote, you know, maybe Trump isn't
doing this good a job on handling the COVIT the
coronavirus as I thought unquote, they start to become aware
of some of this information that they've not just rejecting
it as fake news. They're saying, quote, I still like Trump,

(12:40):
but maybe he could do a better job at this unquote.
So did the Republicans strongly politically engage white males really
changed their attitudes and were they opened to viewing Trump
in a more critical way? Yes? But for how long? Well?
The romance between the Republican white conservative males and the
liberal media that provided them with facts on what was

(13:02):
really and truthfully happening to America during the pandemic only
lasted less than four weeks when these same white Republican
male viewers returned to watching Fox News, and the changes
in their opinions quote faded away, unquote. And this is
the problem with today's highly partisan news networks. It is

(13:22):
important to come to grips with the fact that also
called news has a political agenda. CNN wants you to
see the harm, the damage, the pain and suffering, the
lies and misconceptions that the Trump administration had engaged in.
So CNN will intentionally focus on just that, while Fox
News wants to focus your and our attention on Trump's
achievements such as allegedly stopping wars or reporting half troops,

(13:46):
reguarding the pandemic virus, bringing in millions or billions of
dollars from tariffs, having brought down the price of gas,
having destroyed Iran's Army Navius with nuclear materials, leaders in
this economy, and grossly minimizing the damn his policies have
had on the economy of the average American taxpayer, and
also keeping the Fox News viewers thinking that all other

(14:08):
news channels only puts out fake news when discussing Trump
in general, and since this is what MAGA wants to hear,
then Fox News will shovel this sugar honey iced tea
to them on a twenty four to seven basis, in
an effort to lock two things into their deranged brains
of Donald Trump supporters. Number one is that Trump is
the best, most reductive, and most accomplished president of all times.

(14:31):
And number two, anyone who doubts this or him in general,
then they're either Unamerican or just victims of pake of
fake news. So it is important to understand that both
the Democratic and the Republican news media have their biases
in what news they present. But facts are facts. Facts
are facts, yes, and Republican news media relies on misinformation,

(14:55):
disinformation and all out lies that comes out of the
pathological mouth of Trump. It appears that Trump's Maga cult
supporters seem to forget that he is a criminal, a felon,
a sex offender, a thief of billions of dollars from medicaid,
medicare snap, black businesses, urban public schools, grants to assistant
who assist and prowish youth to gain a trade or

(15:16):
a ged money provides to victims of mass disasters, all
while he is fully funding a war of choice on
Iran at the demand the demand of Israel's leader N'etanyahu. So,
as I've pointed out, you can bring news thirsty, misguided
Trump cult supporters to a democratic and fact based truth fountain,

(15:38):
but they will only take SIPs of facts for a while,
only see that Trump is a pathological liar. For a while.
Only hear of America losing the war with Iran. For
a while, only hearing about the farmer shutting down their
farm due to higher costs of fertilizer and gasoline. For
a while, only hear that the tariffs which were said
by Lynmouth Trump were going to make America and Americas

(16:00):
in general rich, never materialized, not even for a while,
And that this tariff money now has to be returned
to the foreign countries that had to pay the tariffs.
But the return of tarif related funds paid out by
Americans at the grocery stores and gas stations will never
be returned to us, So we the people will not
be given back one dime. So again, Trump has bamboosted

(16:22):
all foreign countries and the average American into paying tariffs
for a long while, and with none of that money
coming back to us. So the facts are that we
will not be able to change the attitudes or values
of Trump cult followers at all over time. Those who
are infected with Trump's maliciouslies, those misguided and misled by

(16:42):
Trump's bragging about tariff money bringing prosperities, all those misinformed
about not needing a Department of Education, those led them
up by Trump who cut programs that support under resourced
to Americans. Those who believe the lie that America was
founded as a Christian nation, Those who believe that Israel
to be funded by American taxpayer dollars to wage your

(17:02):
war of choice with the Ran and to commit genocide
against defenseless Palestinian people in Gaza. No, we will never
be able to change the attitudes and behaviors of those
Trump cult followers who are hell bent on destroying our
democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people.
So don't waste your time trying to convince a Trumper
that Trump's policies are wrong, that his body is impaired,

(17:25):
and that he and we as a country are the
laughing stock of the entire world, not just for a while,
but every day that this incompetent, egotistical devil is in office.
Let's stop there.

After a greeting is happibiliated birdy to.

Speaker 8 (20:18):
You, thank you, thank you, my brother, thank you so much.

Speaker 9 (20:22):
So you know that's the half I saw. I sa
a news article from nineteen ninety eighth. We're done a
Trump boy saying that, yes, if I were to run
for president, I would I would run as a Republican
because they're the most stupid stupid.

Speaker 11 (20:43):
But I remember, I know, wasn't.

Speaker 13 (20:44):
Trump a Democrat before?

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (20:47):
What you democrat?

Speaker 11 (20:48):
I recall it was a Democrat.

Speaker 14 (20:50):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (20:51):
But what is stupid, especially the poor white story? Realizing
a rich white people don't marry poor white people.

Speaker 11 (21:00):
Okay, it's not white folks. Rich white don't.

Speaker 9 (21:05):
Marry poor whites, only black folks, blue food in society.
That black basketball players, they don't marry a poor white
like like, look these people playing a politics playing games
with black folks, both political parties. It's just the Democrat.
Well give you a little a bigger chrome, but a

(21:28):
chrome you're still getting. You know, it's still a chrome
black people. You're still getting because what they look, what
theyre do? You know, changing up the rules again? You
any Democrats saying anything? They're quiet because they work together.
They work together and keep they keep the populos in
a suspense.

Speaker 13 (21:49):
Keep you in this, you know, so that happens.

Speaker 9 (21:52):
Will ask you this question because you are a historian,
but you also are a psychologists. Okay, so you you
have you can look at.

Speaker 11 (22:01):
It from both perspectives.

Speaker 9 (22:04):
Giving the history at the country right and in relationship
to black people, the five hundred year history, do you
think we should country a few years with these people again?
Look inside that change the rule is again, so we're
going to still here exciting for another fifty years where
the economy is collapsing? Do you think we should continue?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
And that.

Speaker 9 (22:28):
Are change part because we see the country going economically
going down the Drian.

Speaker 11 (22:34):
So what do we do?

Speaker 12 (22:35):
And I hung up to your response, doctor, don't you
thank you?

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Marcus?

Speaker 8 (22:40):
Well, the path that we have to take is if
we're going to survive and hopefully over over a period
of time drive, we're going to have to change the
tactics as well as the path that we're taking. The
bottom line is that you know, you had the fifteenth
Amendment which gave black men a right to vote. Nineteenth
Amendment was the the vote to black women. Then Southern
states came up with black codes, literacy tests, poll tax

(23:03):
grandfather clauses, what have you. There's always be a concerted
racist effort to oppress our ability to to to to
vote as well as to gain power and and and
general and wealth in this country. So we have to
ask ourselves, you know, We know that, we know the
Republicans are stuck on stupid as well as racist as hell,
But we have far too many Democrats who are sitting very,

(23:24):
very idle and just kind of watching everything transpire and
trying to figure out how they can kind of get
a piece of the cash that's out there right now.
Uh as opposed to rebelling, they should be rebelling against
what's happening now. What stops them from doing the rebellion
as they as they should be doing is that Republicans
are going to say, well, we always do remandering. We

(23:47):
always We've always done it, so you can't blame us
for what we're doing. But it was never done the
way that this has been done. And see, those white
folks that that are that are going along with this
are fully aware of the fact that this is want
to oppress the black vote, the brown vote, and any
other person that does not agree with white racism and
what have you. So believe me, we're gonna have to

(24:09):
change tactics. We're gonna have to do something because we
have a lot of fire under the under under brother
Jeffreys and other folks out there who are who are
calling themselves politicians who keep wanting to be nice and
kind of downplay what the Republican Party is doing to
a certain extent as opposed to being enraged, because when
they take away your vote, they're taking away your life.

(24:29):
Because who's gonna care about you, Who's gonna represent you?
No one. They're all gonna represent who they want to
have in office. That is whiteness, and we're not white. Wow.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Back to our phone lines to talk with you. Hi,
mister James.

Speaker 15 (24:46):
Good morning, Bells, and good morning to doctor Harper. How
you guys are doing today?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Good morning, good doing well? How about you?

Speaker 12 (24:53):
Great?

Speaker 16 (24:54):
Great?

Speaker 17 (24:55):
Uh?

Speaker 11 (24:55):
Doctor Harper?

Speaker 15 (24:57):
The stuck on stupid the people that for Donald Trump,
they know what he's about. This is what they want,
this is what they want.

Speaker 18 (25:12):
And we can rail on Donald Trump all we want,
but we can't ignore the things that he's doing to
strengthen to black black Americans because he's doing things for white.

Speaker 15 (25:26):
People that are strengthening Black Americans. And they're all the same,
Republican Democrats, they are all the same. And whenever you talk,
I try to relate to what you're saying to what's
going on in our community and what's going on in
our community today, is that these Democrats they got together
to undercut another black woman for represented of the ninety

(25:48):
six district.

Speaker 12 (25:49):
They got this Hispanic lady, but.

Speaker 15 (25:51):
They bought it all the way from Deliria, South America
to run against a black woman that should be in
charge of this district. Her name is Gabby Selina and
I've only since she got elected. I've only heard from
her twice. I just got some political mail. But she
wants to get re elected. And on that show with

(26:15):
a Pepper Bacon Oldest Stamford that comes on that political
show that comes on Sunday twenty four, they showed her
in Mason, Tennessee. Mason Tennessee is not the name of
the sixtistory, but she was in Mason Tennessee. Stick enough
for some Hispanic kid that got picked up by now
they're gonna take care of their children. You know, we're
gonna stop being stuck on stupid and start taking care

(26:37):
of our children because this woman is not represented the
name of the six district. Let's you know, she Saint
Jude Baldy here unless thank God for Saint Jude, and
let's thank god that they heals her from cancer. But
that lady should have went home after she got killed.
She should have thanked America, thanked the taxpayers, and went
back to her community, her country to make it a

(26:58):
better place. This lady does not rep to send black
people in the ninety sixth district. So when Donald Trump
is calling these immigrants.

Speaker 11 (27:07):
Accountable, he want to make them accountable.

Speaker 15 (27:09):
This woman is not even a citizen, but she's a
representator of the ninety sixth district.

Speaker 19 (27:14):
Same thing about that, Mike Welly, he's not a citizen.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
He's just an immigrant.

Speaker 15 (27:17):
But they're trying to represent our communities, use our money
to do what they want with it.

Speaker 12 (27:22):
So, yeah, a lot of.

Speaker 15 (27:23):
Us are stuck on stupid, and we got to stop
the splitting our vote. They sent that one of the
Christian Brother College, not Little more On College. They send
her to Christian Brother College, but yet she want to
represent the ninety sixth district. No, yeah, we all, a
lot of us are stuck on stupid. But it's the
Democrats and it's the Republican and the Democrats are continued

(27:45):
to undercut black women running for public office. So that's
all I got, that's all I got to say. Thank you,
doctor Harper, thank you Bell Johnson. And I'm gonna continue
to listen.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
All right, thank you, mister James. And let me let
me and I know mister James was talking. Hold on, y'all,
and let me say this. Mister James says she should go.
So let me read this, doctor Harper Okay. Gabriella Selenas
is an American politician. She is a Democrat representing District

(28:16):
ninety six at the Tennessee House of Representative and mister
James was right. She was born in Bolivia. After being
diagnosed with e Wing sir cooma at age seven, she
and her family, her family relocated to Memphis to receive
treatment at Saint Jude's Research Hospital. She graduated he was

(28:36):
Right from Christian Brothers University. Prior to her twenty twenty
four House campaign, Selena's unsuccessfully ran to become a member
of the Tennessee General Assembly twice. Selena's ran in twenty
eighteen in Tennessee Senate District thirty one. She was defeated
by Republican Brian Kelsey. She was defeated by John Gillpsky

(28:58):
in the twenty twenty District ninety seven. She ran again
in twenty twenty four House District ninety six. She won
the Democratic primary in August and was unopposed in general election.
I'm reading this to see because I'm thinking, to run
for office, don't you have to be an American citizen.

Speaker 8 (29:20):
I'll look that up and pretty sure you do.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, And I'm thinking, I'm thinking, mister James, she's an
American citizen because she ran for office, and I'm sure
if her family came here in state, they may be
American citizens now. And she's a Democrat. Again, but think
about this, mister James. And as I was reading Nevick
saying she shouldn't be in there, but in twenty four

(29:46):
she was unopposed. Nobody ran against her.

Speaker 8 (29:49):
That's something.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Nobody ran against her, mister James. In for that district
ninety six, nobody ran, And I get it, And I
need to look at what does ninety six the district?
What all is the district? Is it more than Shelby County?
It could be more, And I'll look that up, y'all,
because I don't know if if if it more than

(30:13):
Shelby County. But I wanted to read that because she
may be and somebody will to American citizen. Because I'm thinking,
you just they don't let folks out just run for office.
You have to be an American citizen, I'm thinking, but
I wanted to share that, doctor Harper, sure and be
correct on that correct information, all right. Going back to

(30:34):
our phone lines to talk with you, I call out,
how you doing? I'm doing fine, William?

Speaker 16 (30:42):
How are you all right? I didn't know if I
would own them.

Speaker 12 (30:46):
Now you own.

Speaker 16 (30:49):
Uh and good morning to doctor. But when you look
at life from a perspective of their art, they constantly
shows movies, you know, House of Dragons and times when
they were you know, just the rulers. And when you

(31:11):
see that over and over from the old days, gone
with the wind, you know, you and all of them,
there's that feeling, you know, that little nugget that, oh
we could get back to that again, and that appeals
to kind of all of them. And so a lot
of whites know that it's not right and don't want
to you know, if they say it out right there,

(31:32):
say they're against it, but deep down they're gonna sit
on the side, just like some blacks that you were
talking about. They're gonna sit on the side, and if
it happens, they'll love it. If it don't happens, they
would be just like they know they should be. So
they win either way. And that's why so many whites
are on that side, even though they know that he's

(31:55):
not a good man. But the other thing is and
i'ma make it quick. And see that's where there's nothing
new under the sun. And those stories in the Bible,
they are just a representative of what we're going to
go through and what's going to be the outcome of that.
And so what has happened is the black the Blacks,

(32:18):
we were stuck on God coming across the ocean, and
we kind of strayed. We got laxed, we got rich,
we got epatic calves, and we kind of stray from
God and God had to shake us up to bring
us back. And that's all that this is going to do.
And there will be some bloodshed, but in the end

(32:40):
we will be higher than we were, like from slavery
to now, from now to then, we will be higher.
So everything's going to work out well. And I love y'all.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Thank you, now, thank you, William, doctor Hopper. Let me
say I got it, I got it, I got it.
And so mister James, I want to say this, so
we want to get correct information. To be eligible to
serve in the Tennessee Senate or state legislature, you must
be a US citizen, be at least twenty one years old,

(33:11):
have resided in Tennessee for at least three years before
the general election. Have resided in the county or the
district to be represented for at least one year immediately
preceding the election. Be a qualified voter in the county
or district to represent. So when mister James was saying
they brought her from another country, they didn't bring her.

(33:32):
She came with her family to go to Saint Jude.
So evidently she is a US citizen and she can
run for that office. Doctor Harker, Okay, okay, we're good.
I just want to make our listeners because we want
to as doctor Harpe always say the facts.

Speaker 8 (33:45):
Fact. We're going with the facts.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
And I understand and mister James, I understand what she
s but also keep in mind she's going to represent
you know, brown people. I get that, and I I like,
we want to represent our black folks. So anyway, we'll
go to our phone lines. W D I a HI.

Speaker 17 (34:04):
Caller, Good morning, beb Johnson.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Good morning.

Speaker 8 (34:08):
How are you good morning, brother.

Speaker 11 (34:10):
I'm good.

Speaker 17 (34:11):
Yeah, this is red read beb John. Can you tell
me these Republicans you know who they are? They call
the radio station every day. When they called the radio station,
they talked as if nothing was done wrong in the
January sixth insurrection.

Speaker 11 (34:30):
They they, I mean.

Speaker 20 (34:31):
They they will defend that to their depth, that.

Speaker 17 (34:34):
These guys were visitors and calling them all kinds of
I mean, just everything. And then at the same time,
when George Ford was killed and they were doing the
same thing, they were looting and riding. Didn't they do this,
didn't they? I mean, even though it wasn't really loot. Well,
they was rooting because they broke into the some of
the senators and congressman's office there in Chapel Hill. And

(34:54):
yes they did sold paperwork and everything.

Speaker 21 (34:56):
They was doing the same thing. But they say that
they there was nothing done wrong. And just like I'm
gonna call one of the guy's name. He was on
the radio just a couple of days ago and said
that if Republican, if black people vote for Republicans and
Shelby County, maybe they would.

Speaker 12 (35:14):
Do something for us.

Speaker 16 (35:16):
But doctor Harper, tell.

Speaker 20 (35:17):
Me something for the last fifty years. For the last
fifty years, eleven of the twelve poor states in America
that are run by Republicans. I'm the poor states in America.
They are the poor states in America.

Speaker 21 (35:36):
They've been voting Republican for.

Speaker 13 (35:37):
The last fifty years, and.

Speaker 16 (35:39):
They're the why.

Speaker 13 (35:40):
They're the poet and you all want us to.

Speaker 16 (35:43):
Talk about voting for a Republican.

Speaker 20 (35:45):
They've been the Republicans.

Speaker 22 (35:47):
I've been running Alabama and Arkansas, Mississippi and I were
I seen us for.

Speaker 20 (35:51):
Fifty years and in those states are the poor states
in America.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
But they think we just host.

Speaker 11 (35:57):
Some vote for these people.

Speaker 8 (35:59):
That's insane as it is, right, that's really insane.

Speaker 23 (36:03):
You know.

Speaker 11 (36:04):
So, I mean, I would wish them, but call in.
But he's afraid of doctor Harper.

Speaker 16 (36:09):
He's not gonna call in.

Speaker 11 (36:10):
He's afraid of doctor Harper.

Speaker 16 (36:12):
He'll call in and with all.

Speaker 11 (36:13):
Little crazy mess on stand.

Speaker 22 (36:15):
Bill Show, but he will not call somebody that can
can straighten him and correct him on all that foolish
and he's he talking about every day. Call in Denver.
I know you're scared, but call in and and and
let us know why. Eleven of the twelve states, the
poor states in America that have been run by Republicans
for the last fifty years, the lasting education and everything else.

Speaker 17 (36:38):
Right, thanks for taking my call.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
And you're right, read, because I'm thinking that the Republicans
who represent Tennessee, like Marshall Blackburn, you know, what are
they doing? What are the Republicans don't? I don't see
anything doing. I see the work, and I get the
information that Congressman coined what he's already always this place

(37:05):
is getting funded this way. I never see that with
Marshall Blackburn. And I'm trying to think, David Kushler, Republicans.

Speaker 8 (37:12):
That's right, Republicans.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
What they're doing for us?

Speaker 8 (37:15):
Nothing? Absolutely nothing, nothing.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
I love it. W D I a high caller.

Speaker 11 (37:25):
Good morning everyone. How both of you today?

Speaker 2 (37:29):
I'm doing well, Carl, how are you?

Speaker 11 (37:31):
I am going to be signed a few minutes after
I finished talking to both of you, and I need
to calm down because doctor Harper and bib I need
to get this out before I start getting carried away.
First of all, the end game on all this stuff
they are doing is to control the House for the
rest of their lives and the rest of our lives.

(37:53):
Because the House controled the first dring. They realized they
may not get the White House. They realized they may
not hold to the Senate, but they can get the House.
At least one branch of the government's being controlled by
the GOP. They want at least one. So that's why
they do all this ridiculous saying change the maps in
these states matter way you know, the stations start doing this.

(38:15):
The southern states that was in the contary to the
Civil War now Cassus, Tennessee, Alabama, Lordham Mergency of Alabama,
and Florida. They in Mississippi. These people want to do
it by the legislature, But when California and Virginia do

(38:36):
it by votes, all his lawsuits. They can't do that.
It's not right they how dare they do that? So
I'm tired of the Democrats playing nice. They starting time
to start throwing a ball at their heads. If they
was on the plate in a baseball game. Illinois, New Jersey,

(38:56):
New York, Maryland, y'all need to show them how much
power y'all got do the same thing they're doing. Don't
call no vote, just go in there. If they won't
make chance, see all red well ill Nord. You need
to go all blue. There're more you blue than there.
Quit trying to be nice where it's God will Well,
I believe in God like everyone else. But they come

(39:16):
a time get off your bus and start fighting back
and vote that get ruthless. Now let me come back
and deal with this one more time the best way
I can. You know, you know people that come a
time in life in which they got these maps already
drawn up. There's no way in the world you come

(39:38):
up with a map in three days. That meant they
had this plan for a long time.

Speaker 8 (39:42):
Of course, now I don't know.

Speaker 11 (39:45):
Who they think we are or who they think I am.
They must think I'm stupid. Well, Bell, I told you,
I told you, doctor Harper. There are a lot of
things about me. I'm not blind, my hearing's good, and
I'm not stupid. I hate somebody trying to make a
food out of me where I know they trying to
make a food around me. And here it come with this, Well,
how come you all got these laps ready and read

(40:09):
to vote because you knew what's coming down. You knew
what's gonna happen. And now for you people who voting
for Trump because you did not want a black woman
because you did not want her to be Prouse of
the United States. How those gas prices you're looking now,
and truck riverers, how that gas price looking? And by
the way, you five black guys that called in all

(40:31):
the time, won your name already been called out? Explained
to me why DCE was almost six dollars an hour,
I mean sixty six over six dollars a gather. Explained
to me why they're going on It's plain that to me?
Is that what you're going for? You're cool with Donald
Trump's sending start on war. You're cool with that talking
about that war and thirteen people. You know when thirteen

(40:53):
people died when biting with draw, Fox Knews were on
him like white old rights, right, But these thirteen people
that died, well down Trump's singer. Oh well, then he
went to to receive them when they change the dover Delaware.
But then I'm talking about that. But when Bibi did it,
oh it was holy hell. How dare him? He's incompetent?

(41:18):
And yet we got we got down Trump's singer acting
an idiot, and now he tried to figure away. God,
this war he can't get out of you.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
You know what he said, and I wrote the quote down.
I'm quoting him. He said, now get this, I think
the war is over. I think who says that. I
think the war is over? I think ignorance. Well, come
on down, he said, he said it yesterday. I think
the war is Huh.

Speaker 8 (41:46):
Well he's declared, uh, he's declared how many times the
war was over already?

Speaker 11 (41:50):
Right?

Speaker 8 (41:50):
Ignorance is just pervasive.

Speaker 11 (41:52):
When the war is over, somebody's supposed to go and
meet us in nuclear place, the two parties involved, and
they supposed to sign a statement or some type of
agreement saying the war is over. Have everybody been there
to sign a piece of paper saying that? Yet? But
yet we got a but yet we got a mental
run that understanding got got fourteen points on it in

(42:14):
one page to end the war even But this is
the same man, these five black guys that called him
on to the sind talking about how brint he is
ring it. Bring it he is God Trump's singer is
a gutless wonder And now I wanna put you five
in there with him too, y'all gutless wonders too, because
you want this? How could you do this to yourself

(42:35):
and to our country. I mean, give it back, doctor
Harper and Bell, give me a second. Okay, okay, I'm down.

Speaker 16 (42:47):
Now.

Speaker 11 (42:48):
You know it's time to get ruthless Democrats. It's time
to get these states blue all the way. Because we don't,
the GOP will find way to win this. And now
don Trump's senior want to put people in Fulton County
because Georgia is not going along with this. So what
he wanted to do he want to get foot in county.

(43:09):
He left no sense on an investigation. Then he wanted
to go out of Virginia. He takes Virginia, decide to
do the same thing and go for more people. You
want to arrest another black woman. And yet they say
he's not racist. Well I got news for you. Anytime
you put a former president, a former first lady on
a monkey head, that's racism. I don't care if he

(43:31):
is saved or not. That racism. And finally, what you said,
doctor Harper about false news, hid the spind and listen
to carefully. Well, if you believe in God and you're
a patriot, it's okay to be satisficed and have a
little pain for three or four months. Because if you

(43:52):
believe in God, in Don Trump's senior and you're a patriot,
and you going to the United States of America, you
willing to take this pain because that's the right thing.
And they see the stuff on the our.

Speaker 8 (44:03):
On the our, Yes, that's right.

Speaker 7 (44:04):
And also keep in mind Secretary of State is also
saying something similar as well as Trump talking nowadays about uh,
it's the price we're gonna have to pay in order to.

Speaker 8 (44:17):
Keep them from from from from nuking us. See, nobody's
talking about using the nuclear bomb on on on anybody.
Iran's not talking about that. But see once they throw
that up there about we're doing this, that's gonna cost
you a little bit of increase in gas and food.
But but what what do you which do you want
increasing gas or be nuked by a bomb sent by Iran?

(44:39):
It ain't even about that, folks. They're gonna try their
best to make you think that you're paying now to
ensure our safety and our welfare. When at this point,
this idiot, this this imbecile, this mess of a person
basically got us into an unwinnable war and all of
us are gonna suffer, all of us because.

Speaker 11 (45:01):
Before I go. Before I go, Doctor Harper and Bell,
if any any veterans out there listening to us right now,
if you can call in, please explain to me what
the hell is a many war.

Speaker 8 (45:16):
Craziness?

Speaker 11 (45:17):
Yeah, and what's the skirmish? And if if a sea fire,
therefore the sicky days don't count. If the seafire took
place eight days before the seafire supposed to end, and
now we're twelve days past.

Speaker 8 (45:31):
That just make it up as it up. That's all.

Speaker 11 (45:35):

Speaker 4 (50:51):
Right, Good afternoon, bab and good afternoon Doctor.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Hawk, Afternoon Afternoon.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Hop Show.

Speaker 11 (50:59):
It's all.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
I'm telling you. We are in a perilous predicament. It
just seems like everything that the forefathers and our former
people and authority put in place for democracy is being
done away. With It's a shame. We have this incompetent president,

(51:29):
this incompetent administration, we have this incompetent Supreme Court, and
it's this country is just unraveling. It's a shame. But
I agree with one thing Called said, it's time to
fight fire with fire. I agree with him when he
said the Democrats need to roll their sleeves up and

(51:54):
they need to put in a proposal to read district
to make some of these states all do so we're
gonna have blue against red.

Speaker 8 (52:03):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
But if that's the way it has to be, it
has to be. But the Democrats do I agree with
Call on that.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
Now.

Speaker 4 (52:11):
I don't know how that works. I don't know how
this redistrict of Shelby County is going to work out.
My husband and I were talking. My husband said, all
might just backfire. You know, we don't know. But I
tell you it's a shame. It's a shame. And I

(52:32):
go along with all the protesting that's going on up
there in Nashville and all the speeches and everything that's
going on to try to prevent this from happening. But
it's already done. It's already done.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
You know.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
The protesting it does. It looks good and I admire
people for fighting, but it's all still sign sealed and
delivered more or less. So you know, we just have
to go day by day by day. And this war
that's got that this man got us into, it was

(53:12):
a force. It's all a farce. It's about all and
it's about money and it's about power. And I think
he's trying to prove himself to Putin. He wants to
be in Putin's circle so bad that he wants to
do things to make himself look tough, but he's making
himself look like a food. But anyway, we just take

(53:35):
this day.

Speaker 24 (53:36):
By day by day.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
And the something that's read said too that stood out
in my mind is that all of these a lot
of these Republican states, led states are some of the
push in the nation. That does that make any sense?
Doesn't make any sense? That all right, thank you for
taking my car, and I'm continuing to listen in I

(53:59):
mean and all the comments that different people are calling
me because it's making a lot of sense. Thank you,
may thank.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
You, Beverly. I appreciate you. W D I a hey
caller teller.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
How are you doing today?

Speaker 13 (54:14):
King book King Harry O.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Yes, and doctor Harper, my vet prin friend. He's a
good topic here. Okay. First I wanted to say that
he's a mess with the wrong country.

Speaker 12 (54:27):
Mm hmmm, hed an mess with the wrong country and
they're not playing.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
And he's gonna mess around. They're gonna come to America
and brow this place up right, And he doesn't think
I think it's going to change. And it's all about Oh, that's.

Speaker 11 (54:39):
What it's about.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
He wants to control everybody. And then that who hey,
you whatever, his name is, Jules. Yes, he's fired generals
because they refused to take their truth to what we
didn't start. No, and he fired almost twelve of them
before that. And this man doesn't have either National Guard.

Speaker 8 (54:59):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
And then I can say this here, Supreme Court is
the ones we need to blame because if they would
have never pardoned him, it wouldn't happen. If they would
have never pardoned him, it wouldn't happen. Man got thirty
four fellas and the only president alive that's been impeached twice,
So that says our government's messed up. You're gonna put
the person in there that knows nothing don't care about nobody,

(55:23):
don't have no no kind of political sense or nothing.
That's why he does what he's doing. And then the
fake assassinations. He's an ad you know, doctor using the military.
They're gonna stand up when somebody find it that something
and say fight, fight, fight, And I'm an army ranger.
I know that assassinate weapon would have done. It would

(55:45):
core his head off. He had one of the wrestling
match patches that he slept his ear and the butt
came out. And then if you saw the one last week,
this one was real funny. He mustn't tell everybody to
duck because someone was still standing taking a.

Speaker 24 (55:58):
Drink, and he was the last one they took out.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Jake, they frest president was one of the first one
they took out. So you know it's fake, this man
about this country. Yes, somebody was still standing up drinking.
Some of them duck. He should have gave him a
water bee. He said, look, all right, now it's going
to happen, and I need offer you to dunk. But
he didn't, and that's why it's fake. And if we

(56:25):
don't wake up. Both times that he had won, it
was because of our Democrats on that party because you
don't want to vote because the woman was running for.

Speaker 16 (56:32):
President right, all times he won was against two women.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Hillary and and the next one. And if he hadn't
have done that, just like now, people don't even go
out to vote.

Speaker 12 (56:44):
They don't care what happens in this country.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
I just got some gas and I got regular. It
was Doland fifty cents, right. It never have been that high,
not for regular, right, And his first words he said,
bail And I'm talking with a I'm going to load
the X prices and I'm going to drop fuel. I
ain't seen nothing more. I was gonna go to the

(57:06):
other day, ipposed by the thick Combositi sausage. They used
to be like do something to five dollars now, right,
So I don't think nothing's gonna tell you. But that's
why I leave you with. We need to listen to
some of these dumb democrats that doesn't know anything. And
now you're struggling. Well, I wish I heard the voted. No,
we wish nothing.

Speaker 8 (57:25):
That's exactly what we worried about.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
Who's run it. Just keep Republicans out of office and.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
Plus brothers with that child, have a great day, Okay,
thank you, King HARRYL Gone dot TuS BEV.

Speaker 8 (57:34):
You know it's it's it's it's sad because I'm talking
to the listening audience now, people my age voted, right.
I wonder if your grandchildren voted, and if they didn't,
it's your damn fault. It's your damn fault because see this,
this young generation doesn't have a clue about how how
to do political work or how how to gain power

(57:56):
because we've been giving them everything. They've gotten everything. So
now when you ask them, have you voted yet, they
look at you as if you're crazy. Right with the
assumption that things are going to stay the same. No,
they're not going to stay the same. It's going to worsen.

Speaker 16 (58:11):
It's gonna worsen, right, w D I a high caller, Spaniel, Johan,
how are you doing today?

Speaker 2 (58:20):
I'm doing fine. French of the Charles.

Speaker 25 (58:25):
Say my name, say my name.

Speaker 11 (58:26):
Let me say.

Speaker 25 (58:27):
Have the belated birthday to a very fine gentleman that
I have been known for over ten maybe longer, and
that's to you, doctor Harper Haster related birthday and welcome aboard,
Thank you, good afternoon to your call us and listeners.
Earlier in your monologue at the beginning of your show,
you asked a question doctor Harper about people being able

(58:50):
to service president. And for this, uh, in order to
service president, you have to be a naturally born citizen
of the United States. And when Karl asked a question
about the young lady Hispanic and her credentials, according to
the constitution in the States that you must be born
in the United States. What exceptions The exception if the parents, say,

(59:15):
for example, the mother is out of country and she
has the child, they still be able to run for
president of the United States because the parents are legitimate
citizens of the United States. But anyone can run for office.
Let's think about what's his name, Arnold Schwarzenaker, who was
born in Australia.

Speaker 12 (59:35):
I believe that he.

Speaker 25 (59:36):
Ran for governor. Now he brought up in any political office,
as long as not a presidency because he was not
born in the United States. But you can be legalized
as an immigrant to run for political office. But you
cannot run unless those two conditions I just mentioned us
legally born in this country, or if your parents are
legally from this country and they're born outside of the

(01:00:00):
United States. Give you an example, Kane, he was born.
I think he was born in Canada. Don't get don't
get me, don't get me wrong on me.

Speaker 16 (01:00:12):
Look real quick.

Speaker 25 (01:00:13):
Yeah, here it is said that he was born. John
McCain was born in now Panama, but his parents were citizens.
Also Ted Crewe was born in Canada and Mitt Romney
was born in Mexico. And if you remember these three people,
also we have a president due to the fact that
their parents was US citizens. Uh, doctor Harper, I'll leave
you with this here real quickly. I don't know the

(01:00:35):
way things are going, and I and I County I'm
going to talk about mythics because this is concerned me
more than what I'm nuts up in DC is doing
basically right now. Having this way in Bettor, I can't
understand a lot of these people h are knowing that
this president is doing things that's not constitutional and letting
them get away with it. But my question is, doctor Harper,

(01:00:57):
why is the democratic side. I'm not a democratic, let
me say that for all of us, right, but why
are people standing up for what is wrong now? I mean,
he pretty much got a clean slate to do basically
what he wants to do, and we were King Harry,
I filled up my car last week and it was
over one hundred and ten dollars. So I have a
big car least truck anyway, and it cost me over

(01:01:19):
one hundred dollars the Philadelphia. That doesn't make any sense.
We're paying more of now, doctor Hopper, more gas than
we do for milk, So it doesn't make any sense.
And anybody knows, doctor Hopper that you can produce gas
out of corn, and myself, why are we sending up
here depending on a country that we get very little

(01:01:40):
fuel from. Most of the gas all come from Iran,
go to this country. As far as Russia, China, North Korea,
they are the ones who will probably be suffering. Why
are we suffering behind them?

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Now?

Speaker 25 (01:01:54):
The statement I was going to say to you, doctor Harper.
According to Brent Taylor, who's a representative of UH this
part of the county, hided that everything has been in
the words of Steve who want to sign field and
delivered as far as them taken over, the Republicans taken
over and moving District nine to where it's going to

(01:02:16):
be basically ran by Republicans. Now, I'm not a Republican either,
but the theme is make it fair. Now they went
this morning, they said on CBS oneing News. Uh, some
stayed up north. It's basically our Democrats. We're not talking
about that. We're talking about here and Bevedounes. I say this,
and I'll leave you with this. Once they kicked this

(01:02:36):
door down, which they basically they just looking in. Once
they get inside, I don't believe it'll be a long
time the more we can go back to the things
that wants to be represented. And I'm not talking about black,
I'm talking about the people in general. Coach, I guarantee
you this, Beths and the doctor Harper, not only is

(01:02:57):
it going to be black step on the sofa, but
it's going to be a lot of poor white is
gonna suffer. The suffer behind it. And they don't care
who you are as long as they can get their
agenda through and the way it looks like right now,
they have got it done. So that's my take on it.
Doctor Popper, you're welcome to chime in, and I'll listen
more to you on your show. And thank you once

(01:03:18):
again that job for bringing this wonderful man on to
talk about situations that affects all of our lives. Take
care to have a beautiful blessing, safe in the healthy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Date you two friend Jim about it.

Speaker 8 (01:03:28):
My brief response is is the fact that I think
they're far too many Democrats that are getting paid. They're
getting they're getting paid to be quiet. They're also afraid
of losing their seat because because if if they go
against Trump and Trump gets the advantage over them in
one way or another, then they're gonna lose their seat
because they're not gonna get the funding that they that
they like to get, et cetera. So I think many
of them are on the fence. I think I think

(01:03:51):
we got this this this this misunderstanding that Democrats are
for us and Republicans are for whites. No, Republicans are
for whites and rich. But Democrats are not necessarily for us.
You know, they will represent us at times, but at
other times they're looking out for their own damn self
and to keep the seat that they're in at this
particular point. So that's why if Obama had been doing

(01:04:14):
these kind of things that this president is doing, the
Republican Party would have gone eight s hi t because see,
they would not have tolerated it, and he would have
been out long long time ago. However, the Democrats keep
on playing pussyfoot with this whole situation that we have here,
and therefore we're not going to get the kind of

(01:04:34):
anger and frustration that we need to go out to
the polls with. And we need to start picketing and
doing everything that we can possibly do to get the
attention of the media, the good media, so that we
can wake up the color folks that are still asleep.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
Yeah, before I go to that next phone line, doctor
Harper or Mary, just send me email, she says, Viv.
It's done, school takeover, done deal, redisting, done deal, the
possible quick fixed. What is next on our gender? We
are surely well known. It is Project twenty twenty five
is underway. Well, you know, it's it's clear they're saying.

(01:05:09):
They're saying that black people are too ignorant and too
incompetent to do anything. We have to basically take care
of them like we did on the plantation. Right, this
is the plantation. Yeah, in their eyes, Yes, w D
I a high caller.

Speaker 12 (01:05:25):
I ain't doing anything.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Bell, Hey, I just want to know.

Speaker 12 (01:05:29):
Yeah, the good doctor Hopper, good good man doctor Hopper.
I promos I called. I just got a question and uh,
I just want to tell this, Dr Hopper. Don't chess
supposed to be a harder game.

Speaker 8 (01:05:45):
To play than checkis supposed to be? Yes?

Speaker 12 (01:05:49):
Well, I think like now Donald Trump and little brothers
little playing checkis mhm. They are doing stuff so easy,
I mean, without sweating, without worrying about the consequences of
what's going to happen. I don't understand how all these
people are a praise of an old Orange man that's

(01:06:13):
about to tip over in just a few years.

Speaker 25 (01:06:15):
I do not get it.

Speaker 12 (01:06:17):
I don't understand how one man could bring so much fear.
I don't you know if I was a Democratic, a
Republican somewhere higher up in the Washington somewhere, and I've
done my years, I say I've been there fifteen years.
So I've been there fifteen years. My teachers already said
I would have done everything in my power to expose

(01:06:38):
Donald Trump for everything that he's trying to do. My
time is already been. I'm going to get my four
one k all my stuff that I set up for
me to retire for. I will get that, but I will.
I don't know what it is, doctor Harpertini. I don't
know what it is, why are these people scared of him?

(01:06:58):
With one simple old man and that's I don't know
what it is. I just I mean, that's it's it's
a dumbfounder. And I'm gonna waite a hat for that
one because I don't know and I don't understand what
is going on. I mean, check us. They are playing
a smooth game of they're doing it so easy without

(01:07:20):
where is another It.

Speaker 8 (01:07:21):
Just it just it just goes to show you how
how easy, how easy. Uh, white privilege just kind of
ignores every kind of rule out there to do whatever
the hell it wants to do.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Now.

Speaker 8 (01:07:35):
It may sound kind of simplistic to say that, but
it's really about white privilege. The other other thing is
that we need to ask ourselves how many white Democrats
are in are in Congress because see as I'm going
to talk about a little bit when I go on, uh,
these people are not voting for for real issues. They're
voting on whiteness. This man is in office because because

(01:07:57):
he they knew he was going to do the same
kind of idiotic stuff that he had done what he
was in office before, but he's gonna do it even more.
So they knew that he was anti black, anti people
of color, et cetera. They knew, and so therefore they
knew that once they got him in, he was going
to do exactly what they wanted him to do. And
believe me, we got a lot of white folks who

(01:08:20):
are Democrats, are who are in Congress, and you have
to ask yourself, are they going to vote to support
black people or are they going to quietly, quietly continue
to kind of be quiet and allow the white Republicans
to kind of move on because see, white backs white.
And see when we were doing that years and years ago,

(01:08:42):
we were called dumb because we should study and make
sure that we know all about the background on the
people that we're voting for. Uh Uh, these folks it
regardless of everything that he's done wrong and in the
history of being a criminal, et cetera. White is voting
for white and white is supporting white. And here we
are thinking that these folks who are white Democrats are
going to help us. I don't think so. They're going

(01:09:04):
to help other whites.

Speaker 12 (01:09:06):
And you know what, doctor Harpe, I could see all
those Republicans right now. They are saying that old turn
that uh, the God eighteen used to use. I love
when the playing comes together. I bet yeah, I bet
that's in back party. And I mean, I mean even
with the even with the redistrict in here in Memphis. Hey,

(01:09:28):
they are absolutely I mean I bet that that's a
done deal.

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
They are.

Speaker 12 (01:09:33):
I mean, there's no debate over it. There's just uh,
letting people come a voice their opinion. But a done deal.

Speaker 8 (01:09:39):
I think it's a done deal.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
Yeah, yeah, all right, thank you. I just want to know, Yeah,
that was a good day, you too.

Speaker 12 (01:09:47):
And I still want to know why these people are
still a one man. I promise if I if I
was up there and I had my time here, I
would do everything I could to bring them down because
my retirement, my everything about Yeah, I got.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Your you too.

Speaker 8 (01:10:05):
I just want to know they're afraid. They're afraid of
being called negro lovers. Yeah, they're free to be called
negro siding with black folks, right, Yeah, they're afraid.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
Gone, doctor Harper, I want doctor Harper to finish. Hold
on college. You just have to hold on. He's talking
about you can bring your fact based political information to
miseducated Trump supporters, but you can't change. I just want
to know, see, you just can't change. They're stuck on
stupid mindset. Gone, doctor Harper. Now that insult to injury.

(01:10:36):
We find out that America has a severely depleted arsenal
of war fighting supplies to protect us from Trump's other
authoritarian dictators like Putlin and Russia, Ping in China and
Kim John Une in North Korea, who are clearly seeing
the weakness of this administration. No, as I stayed it
three weeks ago, Trump is a total mess of a male,

(01:10:57):
a total mess of a leader, and someone one who
is one stupid enough to verbally spar with the Pope,
two verbally spar with the media who keeps asking him
to make sense out of this war that he and
bb naking out who have started, and three to make
sense out of builking America's middle and working class people
into giving the rich a tax break while giving the

(01:11:19):
rest of us the middle finger. Not in privacy, not
during the darkness of night, but in full daylight, where
he is displaying his cowardness as a draft dodger. His
ignorance in regards to domestic and foreign policy is disdain
for the working class of America, is distancing from providing
universal health care to all Americans, his viciously greedy approach
of financially charging other country leaders to do business with

(01:11:42):
him personally as a so called business person, but not
as the president. It is time that President Trump's cabinet
come to their senses and institute the twenty fifth Amendment.
Now each one of them will, without a history of
this country, is being inept, imputent, scare intimidated, and traitors
of our democracy, along with being money grabbing yes men

(01:12:05):
and women who hold total allegiance to their furer versus
acknowledging that he is medically and mentally unable to leave
this country, unable to control his own unhinged and erratic behaviors,
and unable to maintain the lie that he is presidential material. Frankly,
for all practical purposes, he is the worst of what
Laurie Daniel Favors calls a WEI, which stands for a white,

(01:12:28):
entitled and inept president. Now let's look at former Trump
lovers and supporters who are now now alleging that they
have seen the true light which ignorant Trump has been
shining on both domestic and foreign policy, and how they
are jumping from Trump the Trump ship with half baked
apologies and criticisms of this white entitling that orange faced

(01:12:50):
clown president, such as television and social media republican and
former Trump mini me Tucker Carlson, who is the first
of many former trunk strapholders who have abandoned Trump's sinking
ship of fools. Tucker Carson has evidently come to his
senses and is now admitting that he was quote tormented
unquote by his role in helping Donald Trump get elected

(01:13:13):
and apologize for misleading people. He characterized his regret by saying,
quote will be tormented by it for a long time.

Speaker 8 (01:13:21):
I will be. It's not enough to say I changed
my mind or this is bad. I'm out. I admit.
I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people. It
was not intentional. It's a moment up to wrestle with
my own consciousness unquote. However, Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor,
questioned Tucker's apology and further asked Tucker these questions, Why

(01:13:41):
should anyone believe you when you say you are now
tormented and sorry for misleading people about Trump if you
express no remorse for supporting his blatant lives about the
twenty twenty election, for backing the rioters at the Capitol,
for justifying the murders of protesters, and for poisoning America
with your biggotyes creeds. Others like Alex Jones, who informed

(01:14:03):
his colleagues that they should quote cut bait unquote on
Trump due to a perceived free fall in his leadership,
and that Trump has sabotaged the Republican's chances in the
twenty twenty six midterm elections. That Trump is quote physically
and mentally unfit for office unquote, And lastly, that Trump's
administration is under quote demonic influences unquote. This is Alex

(01:14:26):
Jones now Nick Fuentes, who said that he is no
longer a supporter of Trump, that he is off the
Trump train, urged his followers not to even vote in
the twenty twenty six midterms or to vote for Democrats
to disrupt the Republican establishment, and lastly, that Trump has
betrayed this America first promises Marjorie Taylor Green, who recently

(01:14:49):
told reporters that quote Trump hates women he can't control
who don't worship him, women who actually worship God and
are much more intelligent than he is unquote. Megan Kelly
has actually criticized Trump's foreign policy towards Iran, calling it
completely irresponsible and disgusting. She has recently stated that Trump
is not a moral man, He's not a great husband,

(01:15:10):
and that he is extremely petty and thin skinned and quote,
I am sick of his sugar honey iced tea. In
response to Trump threatening to wipe out the Iranian civilization.
She further went on to say that he was too
weak to say no to netting Yahoo, that he has
extremely petty personality and a lack of loyalty to his supporters.

(01:15:31):
Andrew Schultz criticized Trump by saying that he is doing
the exact opposite of everything I voted for, including increasing
government spending, failing to stop wars, and flip flopping on immigration,
as well as failing to release the Epstein files. Joe
Rogan hmm. Joe Rogan, who expressed strong disapproval of the
administration's actions regarding Iran, calling them terrifying. In contrary to

(01:15:55):
Trump's no More War's promise and the betrayal of Trump's
campaign promises which argue that satanic war that starting a
war excuse me, could lead to World War three and
that the strategy of attacking Iran does not make any sense.
Joe Rogan also sharply criticized the MAGA movement, describing some
members as effing dorks, an unintelligent unquote hands Owens, the

(01:16:19):
negro in the group who recently suggested that it was
time to put Grandpa up in a home, that he
was a genocidal lunatic and a mad king, and she
urged Congress in the military to invoke the twenty sixth
Amendment to remove him from office. She also labeled Trump's
administration as satanic and claimed it is deeply unwell and
influenced by religious fanatics. And last, Stephen A. Smith, what

(01:16:45):
what the sports guy, the know it all?

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:16:49):
Oh, he called Trump an unmitigated disaster and a pathological liar. Well,
thank you, Stephen, thank you. In response to these high
level social influences and TV personalities, Trump included them all
in saying that Megan Kelly, Alex Jones, Candae Owens, Joe Rogan,
Nick Fuinter's, and Tucker Carson were all quote low IQ persons, troublemakers,

(01:17:14):
and nut jobs, which is typical. He always has the
same three line for everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
For everybody.

Speaker 8 (01:17:20):
So with Trump's incompetence, his erratic behaviors, his calamity of
imposing tariffs on foreign countries when he did not have
the legal authority to do so, his firing of over
three hundred and four thousand black women from good federal jobs,
significantly cutting Medicaid funds, Medicare funding, snap benefits, attacking Black
history and labeling it as depicting a negative view of America,

(01:17:41):
starting an unwinnable war with Iran, going against his campaign
commitments to not get America into another never ending war,
lowering taxes for the Bay and Are Boys Club, ignoring
established laws of the land, ignoring the Constitution and making
national decisions, getting rid of any agency or organization that
would keep him from running a monk with democracy, and
establishing a fascist country with the lie that America was

(01:18:03):
founded to be a white Christian nation to begin with.
Now you should believe that his former high level MAGA supporters,
which I have just described, are totally against Trump at
this particular time. But surprisingly enough, even those who I
cited were not necessarily going to vote against them if
he ever ran for office, and they would still say

(01:18:25):
they were supporters, but This is just what I said
in the title of today's presentation, which is quote, you
can bring fact based political information to miseducated Trump supporters,
but you can't change their stuff on stupid mindset unquote.
So Trump can be a bumbling idiot, a warlord, a
white Christian nationalist, a racist one who abandons his campaign

(01:18:47):
promises just to kill people of color and take their oil,
their land, and to build Trump hotels throughout Russia and
Iran and the Gaza Strip, Venezuela, Greenland and lately the
Falkland Islands and Canada. So why can't we change the
misguided and utterly stupid political views of far too many
Trump cult supporters, even when they know they know He

(01:19:09):
has been described as a malignant narcissist, a sociopath, and
a pathological liar. Why because Trump is the hand chosen
white nationalist bigot that can make lies seem pretty and believable. Yes,
he is perfect for the job of getting rid of
black and brown people figurativity and literally over time in
one way or another. His other goal is to make

(01:19:30):
white supremacy the law of the land and so called
black and brown inferiority the only image that will be
shown of us. Why because he is so pathologically egotistical, selfish,
hate harboring, vengeful, and emotionally unhinged races, who goes along
with QAnon conspiracy supporters, Proud Boy supporters, Kukusklan sympathizers, American

(01:19:51):
Nazi Party leaning supporters, and low IQ spoon fed other
immigrants like himself as it relates to black and brown people,
cutting off our access to jobs, cutting back on money
to the states to finance and refurbish blighted communities where
far too many black people resign, through funding all sorts
of ways to incarcerate millions of black and brown people

(01:20:12):
in privately run hell sales, and through necro politics. He
is seen as by all of these anti black and
brown haters as the chosen one to oppress and to
get rid of black and brown and yellow and red
people from America. Far too many white people support him
because he is white skinned. Folks, get through your mind.

(01:20:32):
It ain't because he's got credentials, he's he's proven to
be an idiot. They support him because he is white skinned, privileged,
because he has hatred the same as these anti black
racist groups have hatred for people of color. Normal politician
would do such a thing in such an open and
blatant manner, except Trump, because they saw in him, and

(01:20:53):
they still see in him, that he is anti black
and brown and yellow and red skinned people, and who
would as swiftly as possible reinstitute white supremacy, Jim Crow laws,
the casual killing act of blacks, black codes and lynching
black boys for fun, and making white privilege as literally
the law of the land. So no, do not waste

(01:21:15):
your time or energy trying to teach closed minded white
nationalists colonized minded colored folks that Trump is unfair, that
he's a racist, or how to oppress and destroy black
or brown people, when in reality, this is his purpose
and why they voted him again into the office of presidency,
along with destroying democracy of the people, by the people,

(01:21:37):
and for the people. And so far he's doing a
damn good job of doing all that by himself. And lastly,
information from the White House that has been leaked is
that Trump during an emergency meeting, Donald Trump tried to
access the nuclear code, but Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, Dan Kane countermanded it, which means that this

(01:21:58):
unhinged unstable, irrational and deadly mess of a mail was
trying to use nuclear weapons against another country but had
to be Countermann, which means he had to be revoked
by this particular general. Brothers and sisters, we got to
get him out of office now or we will be
annihilated for sure. And world War three and World War three.

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
Wow, wow wow. Hold on, callers, hold on, listeners, good information,
doctor Harper, I love it. Just hold on, y'all. We
will continue our conversation with doctor Warren Harper. Yeah. Here
on the heart soul of Memphis.

Speaker 11 (01:22:42):
W d I A.

Speaker 10 (01:23:09):
Nobody and I mean nobody does it like the Queen
of talk, Bev Johnson on the Bev Johnson Show.

Speaker 11 (01:23:17):
On w d I A.

Speaker 10 (01:23:56):
You're listening to the Bev Johnson Show. Here Bev Johnson and.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
We're talking with doctor Warren Harper, our behavioral political health consultant.
Going back to our phone lines. Thank you all so
very much for waiting. You've been so kind. W d
I A high caller.

Speaker 11 (01:24:15):
Yes, how you doing today?

Speaker 2 (01:24:16):
Doing well? Orlando? How are you? Thank you all for waiting.

Speaker 19 (01:24:21):
Yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am Doctor Harper, sir, yes, sir, nights
talking with you again, doctor Harper, enjoy you each time
you come on. We are in a we're in a
lot of trouble in this state right now or this president,
and you have said it, and some of the other
callers have said it.

Speaker 11 (01:24:41):
What can we do dealing with this.

Speaker 19 (01:24:44):
Type of reversal of our time on this earth? It's
sad to see how one man, gentlemen. I guess this
is the power that Germans have people because Adolph he'lot
do what he did to Germany, and now we got
a German president and look what he's doing to the

(01:25:06):
United States. I grown men left stepping behind this one
igrent man. This man ain't even educated if they knew,
you know, I don't know if you have read his aunt,
now his niece's book, Marry Trump. I think she and
I have read, and she told and then now she's
saying this is the most dangerous person an Amberrika calling

(01:25:28):
her own author, saying how dangerous this man really is.

Speaker 11 (01:25:32):
She knows a couple of alls.

Speaker 19 (01:25:33):
She grew up with him in the same house. But
where's the where's these people that spost to have some
backbone and some spine to know what's right and what's wrong?
What happened to that. I can't understand people not understanding
not only the indict and it's forget about that. I mean,
how many how many black Obamas do you think with

(01:25:55):
being in the office read now or the jail house
if he had did the same thing is what.

Speaker 8 (01:26:00):
This president have done in the cemetery?

Speaker 19 (01:26:04):
Yeah, well, thank you, definitely. I told when I talked
to Republicans, I hear people talking about I'm not a
I'm not a I'm not a Democrat, or something like that.
When I hear black people say something like that, it
makes me wonder, who's the who's the Republicans that you
have voted for or you lacked in the past, that

(01:26:25):
have done something so great for the black community. And
the only only party that I know that we have
had a black president came out of the Democratic Party.
Have a Republicans put a black in the in the
White House? I don't think So. I'm seventy seven. I
must have been sleeping for the last fifty seven.

Speaker 11 (01:26:43):
Years, So I don't.

Speaker 19 (01:26:44):
I'm waking up and I've missed something somewhere along the line.

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
I ain't.

Speaker 19 (01:26:48):
I ain't seen a McCain is the closest Republican that
I guess I can say that I admire because he
helped Obama get their affordable health care path. And then
and then the people want to blame Obama talk about
how what he haven't didn't do. Well, let me ask
you this question. You people who don't don't seem to

(01:27:09):
understand what happened. Do y'all remember a letter that went
out to all the Republicans when Obama became president that
said something like, we don't care what this man do,
We're gonna vote against it.

Speaker 26 (01:27:20):
Right.

Speaker 13 (01:27:21):
Do anybody remember that letter?

Speaker 19 (01:27:23):
But me, I don't hear no Republicans when they called
in saying that the Republicans tried to block everything that
Obama tried to do. So educate me. I'm trying to
wake up and catch up with all of this.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
It's something, Orlando.

Speaker 11 (01:27:37):
I thank you, all right, I thank you all for
your Thames.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
Thank you, Orlando. Before I go to this next fhe Li,
I'm laughing. Doc Harper, I got this email. It says,
beb tell doctor Harper happy birthday and I'll always be
a Republican.

Speaker 8 (01:27:51):
Clyde, Well, you know, Clyde, I heard you on the
should this morning, and you know, and you were asking
you were asking a good question because you were saying,
what's wrong with the Democrats? You know, you were saying,
it's the Democrat's fault. And I agree with you that
it's the democrats fault that we find ourselves in this

(01:28:13):
situation now because it seems as if either they didn't
read twenty twenty five project or they're they're in cahoots
to basically with with with with those who were against us,
to uh to to destroy us as a people. Anyway,
thank you, thank you for giving me a happy birthday
at least.

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
Right right right, Clyde w D I a high caller.

Speaker 27 (01:28:34):
Hello, Yes you're on the air. Wait a minute, Unforgetful,
Yes sir, let me turn the radio.

Speaker 14 (01:28:46):
Dad, please, I want to make sure that you have
the most beautiful I mean wonderful tactic out of this
world birthday when they.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Come up on mother's Well, thank you on Forgetful.

Speaker 28 (01:29:02):
I tried my best to get in touch with you
because I know tomorrow is Friday, and uh, you know,
I just want to make sure I can get this
birthday out to you.

Speaker 14 (01:29:11):
Miss Jollson.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 14 (01:29:12):
I don't understand, you know, I just want but I
would like to ask a question that you and doctor Hopper,
uh dealer with the redition, you know, the stuff that's
going on everybody talking about. By the way, I am
a Trump supporter. That would never change until, you know,
until the four years up for the presidency. I just

(01:29:35):
want to throw that out there.

Speaker 28 (01:29:36):
But what is it kind of educate this grade and
nine said that I have right now, dealer the redition?
You know, I don't understand. Can someone I educate the public?
I mean, I thought this was a good real station,
not the AI station.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
So what do you want to know about redistrict?

Speaker 11 (01:29:59):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
I mean, how does it work?

Speaker 13 (01:30:02):
I mean, all I'm here, then the look black vote.

Speaker 11 (01:30:06):
I mean, is it a.

Speaker 14 (01:30:07):
District that's combined with another dishes?

Speaker 28 (01:30:10):
Or that they are stop the night dish, then make
it another dishes.

Speaker 13 (01:30:17):
Split it up.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
I mean, just explain like a penis graded man, say
that I have just explaining all that.

Speaker 13 (01:30:23):
You mean, let me know what what's going on.

Speaker 14 (01:30:27):
About that?

Speaker 27 (01:30:28):
Okay, hold on, hold.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
On, I forget Okay, So so going, doctor Harper, say
what you have to say.

Speaker 8 (01:30:39):
The easy way of explaining it if you if you
had some crayons and you had and you had a
map there, you know, you would basically say to your
son or daughter that you know, this is what this
is where we used to be. We used to be
over here. And when we were over here, you know,
we had we had good access to to voting, and
when you vote, you can you can make things happen,
you can get things. But some other people came over

(01:31:01):
to bad people and they just kind of erased us
from this space where we were, and they decided to
draw a line or circle around around a little bit
of us, but a whole lot of some other people,
and they kept doing that. They take a little bit
more of us in then in the next drawing of
a new map, another part of the map and they
put us in another area with a lot of white people.

(01:31:22):
And so after a while, there's no large part of
us anymore. So therefore we don't have any representation because
the larger group that we have put into now, which
is different from before, are the white people, and they're
Republicans and they're gonna take care of themselves and they
don't care about us at all. So that's the easiest

(01:31:43):
way of saying it, and the only way that we
could that the only way that the Supreme Court has
has allowed us to really get back at that is
to basically prove that there was intent on the Republican
Republicans part when they when they when they misaligned those
maps to uh To, to commit racist them. How you
gonna how you gonna how you're gonna get them to
admit that this was done in racism. They're gonna claim

(01:32:05):
that they were just drawing the maps, you know, like
we always do from all every so many years and oops,
if we didn't leave you all as a as a
major primary district Attymore or place, then that's okay. We'll
just put you with somebody else over here, and we'll
put a part of you over here, another part of
you over here, and as we look down, there's only

(01:32:25):
a small real part of you left. You ain't got
a damn bit of power, right w D I a
high caller?

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
Hello, Hey you on the air, Hey Meredith bad out here?

Speaker 23 (01:32:39):
Ding?

Speaker 3 (01:32:40):
No most I just have a check. I'm always saying hello.

Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
Hopefully we have the ding back.

Speaker 3 (01:32:47):
Oh, no problem. I'm glad to get in and hello
doctor harp. But to you, let me just say, when
we think of the term. And I watched this movie
Minute to Society, and first thing we think of is
a right end, right minute to society. But I'm tell
you something that has been no greater minutes to society
than Donald Trump. When I tell you that man is
a minute to this country, minute to society. I can't

(01:33:09):
even express a better word for that. But I wanted
to answer the question someone answered, why do you think
white people still okay with Donald Trump? Because when you
ask them, they say, oh, well, yeah, but you know what,
My husband works in the steal meal field and at
all the companies they have in his region, and I'm
talking about in America, there's only two black production marriages

(01:33:32):
in the whole still mill. And he just comes home
and he say, you know, yeah, it's time to say, hey,
prictice is going up. And yeah, we think him comes
to Trump, but they refuse to admit. I mean, they
aus don't want to a minute. So, doctor Harper, why
do you think that these people who voth with Trump
would rather go down with the shift than the mint
they did the wrong thing or amid this man is
wrong for the country. They just it was to admit

(01:33:54):
that make psychological sense of that plead for me, and
I'm going to hang up and listen.

Speaker 1 (01:33:58):
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 8 (01:33:59):
Married Well, you know, it's difficult to make psychological sense
out of ignorance. And again, you know, I've said it
a couple of times today, but I don't think it's
I don't think it's sinking into the minds of most people.
And you know, and I'm not being critical of anybody,
but you know, maybe I talked a little bit too fast.
They're voting because he's white. That's all. That's all. Now,
the rich ones, they're the reason because they're gonna get richer.

(01:34:23):
But the poor wife, the ones who've lost lost their
lost their snap benefits, lost medicare, medicaid, what have you,
who are paying exorbitant prices for gas and the food
and what have you. See, they're just basically holding on
because they think because they're white, they're gonna be saved.
They don't care about poor white folks. You don't care
about middle class white folks. If you're not a being

(01:34:44):
there boy or girls club, then that's all that's gonna count.
I have to be in that in that group. So again,
irregardless of everything that he's doing, you're gonna still have
a majority of Republicans who support him mainly because he
is white skinned. And there's nothing else to back that

(01:35:04):
up except I mean to count to say that that's
not the case. He's white skinned, that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:35:10):
And doctor Harper would unforgetful with asking about the map.
So here, y'all, here's the news. Breaking news. Tennessee lawmakers
in the House of Representatives have passed the bill that
will split Memphis along new congressional lines. Memphis will be
split into three congressional district per the new map, which

(01:35:31):
passed in the Tennessee General Similes Special Session on redistricting today.
Democrats in the state House have rallied against the push
to redraw congressional lines outside the census, calling the move
a grave, grave roll back of rights for black Tenneseans
and especially four Memphians. Unforgetful and the proposed new map

(01:35:55):
was released twenty four hours before they passed the bill
on the floor.

Speaker 8 (01:35:58):
See there, come on, now, come on, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
I know.

Speaker 8 (01:36:04):
Let me.

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
I'm gonna get these little last calls. W D I
a high caller.

Speaker 24 (01:36:09):
Hi, how you all doing this case?

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
Hey, K, we're doing well in you.

Speaker 24 (01:36:14):
Holdly no one of my grandkids. I was tired to hers.
She was saying that people are so consumed with AI
to be missing appointment's really going on in front of us.

Speaker 11 (01:36:24):
She said.

Speaker 24 (01:36:25):
All of the people that they bringing in, naturally they
bring them in from overseas. None of these people are
basically implorable at that plan here in Mempus. I'm not
just saying that, per se because it's not the only one, right,
But in the meantime, I want to say that, and
I want to say this, doctor Hopper. It's really sad
that only I think eleven percent of the voters voted,
and but these people don't relax people in affordable housing.

(01:36:49):
Just myself said to give off your behindness style voting
because they trying to eliminate all of these programs, right,
and they're doing it according to your age. Anytime I
give you a two, your limitation or whatever, I'm seventy
for us, I'm good, But I'm saying that I might
not be good, but I'm trustling in the Lord. I'm
not saying, don't do that, but get about your behind.
Don't be so comfortable in whatever situation in I don't

(01:37:11):
get your rich, poor halfway, all the way whatever, go
and vote and then make them do their job. We
can make them do their jobs.

Speaker 19 (01:37:21):
You know that, Yes we can.

Speaker 24 (01:37:23):
It's not tan to be it's our can a favorite
till them being a friend. It's tanned and you get
the job and behind do it.

Speaker 11 (01:37:29):
Do it from A to Z.

Speaker 24 (01:37:31):
And if people can do that, you're right right, one
person can do it the most hacking. Do it where
you're gonna say, doctor, I'm sorry, I just talked so much.
I'm like, what's name?

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
I agree?

Speaker 8 (01:37:42):
I agree, you told you what you're saying. And again
I think that we haven't educated our young people to
realize that that there's not going to be any more
gifts out here for folks who are not educated and
politically smart see and rebelling politically smart.

Speaker 24 (01:38:00):
Billy, ain't gannaby with Bell? You still agree with with moderation,
don't be with Beell. You're acting my complete food.

Speaker 11 (01:38:05):
But put it on paper.

Speaker 1 (01:38:07):
What your teacher? What is it?

Speaker 11 (01:38:09):
Who?

Speaker 2 (01:38:09):
What we have?

Speaker 29 (01:38:10):
Look, people don't like to read. People don't like to read.
So you get straight to the point that they're gonna
punder and then they're gonna do it. Wait, they're gonna
pund and they gonna monda hey one not voted for
here anyway, I'm gonna give you a chance. I ain't
stund it on the voter for her.

I don't know her. I don't know her personally, don't
know mother.

Speaker 13 (01:38:36):
I just worked at post office with him.

Speaker 24 (01:38:38):

Speaker 2 (01:45:22):
Little daddy, you're right right and w D I a
high caller.

Speaker 15 (01:45:29):
Hi, Belle Johnson.

Speaker 2 (01:45:30):
I had a call back, mister James.

Speaker 15 (01:45:32):
I wanted to apologize to Gather. I wanted to apologize
to Gather to Linda's was saying that she's not a citizen.
But I'm still suspecting. But I want to say something
about the redistrict. Uh, the ninety sixth district got redistrict. Uh,
the Republics cut off a piece of Cordova added it
to the ninety sixth district. We ended up with a

(01:45:53):
representative by the name of Dwayne Thomas, the white guy.
He gave a town hall meeting over here. In this
town hall me was packed with black people, maybe five
white people.

Speaker 11 (01:46:02):
Now, when he got here, he said that we had
a town.

Speaker 26 (01:46:04):
Hall meet in Cordoba.

Speaker 15 (01:46:06):
Only about five people showed up. So so I'm saying,
no Hispanics showed up at the town hall meeting that
he had over here. And I'm betting no Hispanics showed
up when they had a town hall meeting in Cordoba.
And Gary Sline's was challenged in the primary. She won
the primary but in the general election, nobody ran against her.
A Republican did not run against her because they had

(01:46:28):
they men, they had they women.

Speaker 11 (01:46:30):
So I'm wonna leave it at that.

Speaker 15 (01:46:31):
I do have a pleasure to you, Dr Hopper, but
I'll save it and wait till you come back, and
thank you so much. Bill Johnson getting back on, Doctor Happer,
will appreciate you. You guys, have a good day, you too.

Speaker 2 (01:46:40):
All right, Doctor Harper, last words you'd like to say
to our listeners.

Speaker 8 (01:46:44):
You know, I think that it's sad that we have
so many people stuck on stupid as well as happening
stupid mindset. And all that really is about is the
fact that again, none of these white folks, these white Democrats,
who are basically closeted Republicans to begin with, none of
them are are about helping black folks to begin with.
I'm I'm sincere about that.

Speaker 1 (01:47:06):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:47:06):
I think they're all worried about being called in lovers.
They're all worried about be called in lovers. And see,
we have we have the stupidity to think that just
because they're Democrats and they're white, that they're gonna they're
going to support our agenda.

Speaker 2 (01:47:20):
No no, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 8 (01:47:22):
Until we can light a fire under their ass let
them know that we control them, they're not gonna support
us to begin with, even if they're called themselves democrats,
they're not gonna do it because they don't want to
betray the white race. And that's what they're terrified of,
basically being called a in lover. So believe me, until
we until we get the guts to confront these Democrats

(01:47:44):
and basically have the and and and show how much
power we're going to exert to get their ass out
of office because they are closet the Republicans to begin with,
until we start thinking about the fact that we have
to be the authority that that basically makes decisions about
our life, as opposed to have a the Senate or
the House represented to do so, we have to start
making these decisions about the things that are important for us.

(01:48:06):
And then we have to fight. We have to fight
to get it done, and anyone that gets in our way,
knock them to hell down and move on.
