The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast dives into the week’s biggest mix of justice, politics, and nostalgia — with equal parts heart and humor. The episode opens on a somber but powerful note: former Illinois sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson has been convicted of second-degree murder in the killing of Sonya Massey, the Springfield woman fatally shot in her home after calling 911 for help. Grayson’s sentencing could bring up to 20 years in prison, marking a rare but significant conviction in a police shooting case. From there, the show shifts to Senator Pastor Raphael Warnock, who joins the crew to break down the looming SNAP benefits crisis and government shutdown. He warns that more than 40 million Americans — many of them working parents and children — could see their food aid vanish if Congress doesn’t act. The pastor-senator calls the standoff “organized cruelty” and urges listeners to support food banks and local ministries until the government releases emergency funds.
Lightening the mood, Cedric the Entertainer reminds everyone that hunger is no laughing matter, blasting political indifference while stressing empathy for families one paycheck away from broke. Finally, pop culture gets a nostalgic jolt as news drops that Kelly Williams (Laura Winslow) and Telma Hopkins (Aunt Rachel) are launching a Family Matters rewatch podcast — promising behind-the-scenes stories, guest appearances, and plenty of “Did I do that?” memories.

Speaker 10 (06:26):
Hey, looks like Drake isn't backing down from the court's decision,
and it seems like this case could take years to resolved.
Y'all got more details next in the hot spot on
The Ricky Smiley Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Drop it like guitar, Drop it like it's.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
All ahg.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
In the Morning Show time by the Hotspy sitting in

got the fabulous, the lovely, the beautiful, talented Real Housewives
of it. Now to Shemilah, What up?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Ricky? Always give me such a lovely introduction? Hey, best friends?
Speaker 10 (07:05):
Then I'm oh, listen I'm excited to be sitting there
for the bread.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Let's get into this hot spot now.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
For the first time in over thirty five years, y'all,
there are no hip hop songs on the Billboard Hot
one hundred's top forties. I mean, can you imagine as
of October twenty fifth, there are none, y'all. This change
is due to the exit of Kendrick La Martin Siss's Luther,
which fell off the chart after a recent rule change.
I hate when they start changing the rules and it
don't really benefit us. The rule change was implemented to
(07:32):
remove the songs that have not been on the chart,
you know, for a long time. Now they fallen below
a certain threshold, and that's a process that previously wasn't
as strict.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Now.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
The last time the Hot one hundred had zero rap
songs in the top forty was February second, nineteen ninety
when Biz Marquis Just the Thread reached number forty one.
Speaker 11 (07:55):
Well, can African Americans create their own charts?
Speaker 10 (08:00):
I'm feeling like we should weah, I love it now.
Just a Friend did jump to number twenty nine the
following week, but the you know, the current highest chart
rapping song is NB a young boy's shot calling and
that's at number forty four.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So Gary, you feel like you want to text stab
that like rapping.
Speaker 11 (08:18):
No, but all that, man, this is so sometime going on.
So when people at the billboards said we won a
nice peaceful year, one year without all the you know,
the back and forth and whatever, so they say, y'all
get your own soul train board and honey, do it like.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
That not so trained board.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You know what that.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Drake, Oh, Jesus Drake said. He is not backing down, y'all.
Drake is officially uphealed the court ruling that threw out
his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar's
distract Not Like Us, the one that we danced to
Super Bowl Too, with all the other things. It's Drake's
sued UMG in January of twenty twenty five over the
label's promotion and distribution of Kendrick's distract Not Like Us Now.
(08:57):
Drake alleged that UMG knowingly distributed a song which contains
false and deflammatory claims, including insinuations that he was a pedophile.
Speaker 11 (09:07):
You know where that is, huh, But that's the white
side of him. That's his white white taking the court
to take them back down.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
That's right now, you and g They then, you know,
moved to dismiss the case, arguing that Drake had lost
a rap battle that he provoked and now the notion
of a pill foul yesterday marks the first step in
trying to overturn the federal judge's decision.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Of the pill.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
Process could take more than a year, and if Drake
wins at the apple it leveled, then the case could
re enter years of renewed litigation. I don't want to
see that back and forth. I won't actually hear the
dish and back and forth on the tracks and not
in the courtroom, now, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Not Like Us.
Speaker 10 (09:43):
Not Like Us was released in May of twenty twenty four,
at the height of his public feud with Drake and
the back and forth that generated multiple high profile distracts
from both artists.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I mean, three, that is what you think? Huh? I
was asking now for free what she think about those
the black and white.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I'm not gonna answer that because I'm all blige.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So said basically like us.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
But if you're battle, then you're battling.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Right exactly, and nothing is off limits.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Couchet and cool mo d they went at it and
come on ice Cube in the n w A, but
nobody went to right.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Ain't you battling on the track?
Speaker 9 (10:23):
Man?
Speaker 7 (10:23):
If you lose your loses all could shake your hands,
tip your hat and keep moving.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Joe Rick Ron Morning Shows About that time Jeff Johnson
got three things you need to know.
Speaker 15 (21:39):
Jeff, good morning, Happy to Heavy, Hey, good morning, Ricky morning.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Everybody. Good to be with you all listen.
Speaker 16 (21:45):
I think many of us have talked about over the
last few weeks what is going to happen in November
as it relates to SNAP benefits and this government shutdown.
And I'm hearing lawmakers on both sides of the aisle
talk about whose fault it is and and why this
is terrible and why the other needs to come to
the table and create an agreement. But Rick, like, one
(22:06):
of the things I think we're missing is the passage
of the Big Beautiful Bill already cut billions to the
programs that help families eat. I mean, we're talking about
work requirements that now stretch up to sixty four years
old title rules for parents, less room for states to
help out, and it's expected to push millions of Americans, black, white,
(22:28):
rural city off the rolls. And so this is black
families that are twice as likely to rely on SNAP
as white households. But you know who it really it
hits heavily is poor white families across the South and Midwest.
And in fact, the majority of people on SNAP in
this country are not black. And so these are supposed
to be Trump's supporters.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
They're supposed to voted, they voted for the they voted
for the racism. Man, let me tell you that they voted.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
They voted for Trump, they voted for the racism, that's
or whatever. But they didn't understand what come with the
racist learning?
Speaker 16 (23:02):
And they want to learning people they hate they've been learning,
and so the USDA has already worn and they don't.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Care, and they'll vote for him again hungry.
Speaker 16 (23:11):
But and here's the thing, right November benefits are not
going to go out if this continues. That means forty
plus million people are gonna wake up. And that EBT card,
that same one that kept their babies fed last month,
could be a zero balance. And look, two weeks of
day delay might not sound like a lot of folks
in DC, but two weeks without one hundred and fifty
(23:32):
to two hundred dollars a person that's meal skip, food
banks running out and mama's trying to stretch ramen noodles
and peanut butter sandwiches to cover dinner. And in Mississippi,
more than one in four families with kids u snap.
In Ohio it's almost seven hundred thousand households. And across
the country, most of the people on the program are working,
They're not earning enough to make ends meet. So when
(23:53):
the benefits stopped, it's not about laziness. It's about a
system that already stretched too thin. And so let's make
this plan. Y'all, whether you live in a small town
in Kentucky or the east side of Cleveland, when the
cards don't reload, the stress hits the same, and it's
the same empty refrigerator, the same where we look from
your babies when they say, what do we eating tonight?
(24:15):
And I find it insane and just sad that some
of the same folks who voted to cut SNAP are
now acting shocked that people are scared about to shut down.
And you can starve folks and then pretend to care
when they cry out loud, And so what do we do?
Number one, y'all, I don't care what side of the
isle you on. Lawmakers need to be engaged by real people,
(24:39):
both sides.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Gotta let them know we see you.
Speaker 16 (24:43):
Fund the government, protect SNAP, don't play politics with people's food.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Number two.
Speaker 16 (24:48):
If you can support your local food pantries and those
that are providing daily aid, they are the front lines
right now. Number three, check on your folks, because a
lot of us pride is gonna make us hide our struggle.
But we got to take care of each other until
this mess gets sorted out. Because when the fridge is empty,
I don't it don't matter if you voted red or blue.
(25:11):
Hunger does not discriminate.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And so I'm not I'm not here to let people
off the hook for who they voted for.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
That is not what I'm doing.
Speaker 16 (25:17):
What I am doing is saying, these are the moments
that that if we do it the right way, remind
us who is really being tricked by who. This shutdown
is not about miss paychecks in Washington. It's about miss
meals in our neighborhoods. And if that doesn't make America
look in the mirror or make others look in the mirror,
I don't know what's going to And so Rick, I mean,
I know.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You raise this, and I want you to address these
these white pastors in the in the Christianity or whatever
that that preachers hate or whatever you look you're talking
about Jesus, but you hate people of color and going
against everything with Jesus. Do this with Jesus is vibe families,
which all the stuff that Trump is doing that that
(26:00):
the Christians has uh or the Republicans has hijacked the
Christians or the Christians that hijack the Republican Party with
Jesus do all of this stuff? You know what I'm
saying that, Yeah, they can't. They can't tell me nothing ever, ever,
ever on my TV, honest seen two white pastors stand
(26:20):
up and preach against and talk about racism and segregation
and and and talk about all the all of this stuff,
all whatever that's crazy that they you voted for the
racism and here we are and this is what comes
with is a price to pay, you.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 16 (26:35):
And if it chust going, y'all, it's gonna be wick.
It's going to be a whole lot of other support
services that our folks need and their folks need.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
So y'all, I need y'all to hit me a gagination.
Speaker 16 (26:45):
Let me know how you're supporting, if there's food, if
there's food pantries near you that need support. I want
to make sure that we get information out to as
many people as possible who can support in the midst
of those being hurt by this shut down and more
importantly being hurt by the policies that just don't give
a damn about poor people. Y'all Hit me ajatination on

shut down. SNAP food benefits could be delayed, you know,

struggling just to keep food on the table. So I

and pretty much just give us the overall of what's
what's going on and what are you experience and seeing.

Look, this is a serious issue, and as a pastor
who serves in the Senate.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
My heart is really heavy.
Speaker 9 (41:27):
As you point out, millions of Americans are their their
basic food security is on the line right now.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
But let me let me be really clear.
Speaker 9 (41:36):
It's important that your listeners understand this.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
We're in the midst of this shut down.
Speaker 9 (41:41):
And I know there's a lot of back and forth
whose fault is a Democrats Republicans, and I'm happy to
talk about that, but here is what's an actual fact.
The SNAP recipients are not a part of this fight.
They're being dragged into this fight. The USDA has five
billion dollars five.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Billion in a contingency fund.
Speaker 9 (42:02):
There are other resources that they could make available, and
it's just for this kind of situation, for these circumstances.
So they have literally decided to drag hungry families and
hungry children into a political fight, pitting sick people against
hungry people.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
I think that's deeply immoral, and it's the reason.
Speaker 9 (42:26):
Why I'm calling on the Trump administration to release these funds.
In the meantime, there are those of us, yes, who
are in the faith community, our food banks and others
are getting ready to respond to this impending catastrophe. But
I want to make it clear that this is unnecessary,
organized cruelty.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
So I was surprised to see how many children benefit
from SNAP, and I saw in twenty twenty three almost
forty percent of SNAP beneficiaries are children. So I just
want to know how do we get to this and
what is holding up this agreement in DC to protect
families and children relying on the support.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Well, the fight is about healthcare.
Speaker 9 (43:09):
And you know, right now as I speak, folks who
are on the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare,
people who get their healthcare on the exchange because they
can't afford, you know, a private plan.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
And that's a lot of people.
Speaker 9 (43:27):
Twenty two million Americans, one point two Georgians right now
are on the exchange. And as they're opening up their
premium statements, as they go to healthcare dot gov across
the country or Georgia Access, here's what they're going to see.
They're going to see that come twenty twenty six, the
(43:48):
premiums for their healthcare have doubled. And that's not the exception.
I mean, on average, on average, crazy, on average, your
healthcare premium if you're on the exchange has doubled. It
is crazy, and for some people is tripled and quadrupled.
So that's what the fight is about. We're in the
moment where Donald Trump said he's going to lower your
(44:08):
grocery prices. He didn't do that gas prices. So the
price of everything is going up. And then on top
of that, you're telling me you're going to double and
triple and quadruple the costs of health care. That's a
non starter. That's what this is about. And let us
not forget why are they doing this to give billionaires
a tax cut.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
God, well that was great.
Speaker 10 (44:35):
What can Senate Democrats really do to push the issue
at this point regarding snap.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Benefits, Well, we're pushing the issue. And listen, we didn't
just start.
Speaker 9 (44:44):
I have voted several times this year to extend these
premium tax credits.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
That's what we need.
Speaker 9 (44:50):
We need these tax credits that will make healthcare affordable.
And you know, I'm a pastor. For me, this is
a moral issue, but it's also a practice issue. It
is not in America's interests to make our workforce weaker, sicker.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
And poorer.
Speaker 9 (45:11):
We are in a moment where we need the best
and we need everybody at the table.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
And so that's what's at stake in the site.
Speaker 9 (45:19):
As I said, I've voted several times this year to
extend these tax breadits Republicans blocked it every time. And
by the way, I voted seven times already to keep
the government open. Let me be really clear, I hate
government shut downs. And the truth of the matter is
that we've been witnessing a slow rolling government shut down
all year.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Right from day one of this administration through Doge.
Speaker 9 (45:43):
We started to witness them basically shutting down the government
and so this is just the apex of what they've
been up to all along, and the SNAP recipients are
not even a part of the fight. They're literally dragging
them into the fight, pitting hungry people against sick people.
As a Matthew twenty five Christian, my north star is this.
(46:05):
I was hungry and you fed me. Jesus said, you
asked Jesus, when were you hungry? And as much as
you've done it to the least of these, you've done
it also unto me. So I'm appealing to the best
parts of our nature trying to get us to.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Do the right thing.
Speaker 7 (46:17):
Wow, and Senator one, we know that this shutdown is
really hurting the pockets of It's gonna hurt especially in
the pockets are our parents, other seniors, working folks that's
live in paycheck to paycheck. Are there really any options
or any access that people have to any kind of
federal support at this point or should they just rely
on local support and private organizations for help.
Speaker 9 (46:41):
Well, I'm going to stay in the fight because again,
these resources are available.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
We suffer not from a poverty of resources, but of
moral imagination.
Speaker 9 (46:50):
They're centering the politics rather than the people But in
the meantime, as we go into this weekend and folks
are wondering are their EBT cards going to be re
voted and renewed, people can go to Feeding America dot
org and find out where your local food bank is.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
You can do that both to donate.
Speaker 9 (47:10):
To your local food bank and also to find out
where the nearest food bank is where you can receive food.
And I know that many in the faith community, my
church included, are going to stand up in this moment
and we're.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Going to help as many people as we can. But
I'm not naive about this.
Speaker 9 (47:25):
The scale of the need cannot be met by the
faith community and by the food banks, which by the way,
have also been hit by this administration. Earlier last summer,
five hundred million dollars which have been voted on a
bipartisan basis to go to the food banks was clawed
(47:47):
back by the Trump administration. And so these food banks
that are already in distress and now being called upon
to respond in.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
This manufactured crisis.
Speaker 9 (48:00):
But again, as a voice for Georgia and as a
voice for all the people, as a pastor in the Senate,
I'm going to continue to try to call on what
Lincoln called the angels in our and our nature and
Senator people rather than the politics, and hopefully get the
government open back open, get the snap recipients the resources
(48:22):
that they need, and ensure that people don't have their
healthcare double triple quadruple.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Who can afford that? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (48:31):
And I have a real, real, real, real important question
to ask the Senator one knock, And I just wanted
to give me finest opinion because I'm really concerned about
our democracy. Ladies and gentlemen, we have the one and
on the Senator rap Year war Knock joined us this morning.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Hey, we're all with Senator Rep. Year one knock pastor
one knock.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
I want to ask you, and I know it's too
early to be talking about twenty twenty eight, do you
think that Donald Trump is setting himself up for a
third term? And would they really really just ignore the
United States Constitution? Would that happen? Would there be a
third term? In your opinion from everything that you see
and know.
Speaker 9 (49:13):
No, there's no there's no doubt about where what the
Constitution says about this.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
He can't run again. Donald Trump says something ridiculous. Stop.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
How did they stop?
Speaker 3 (49:24):
If you got control of the White House and the
Republican that controlled the Senate in the Congress, and he
has control of the military.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
How was he to be stopped from running for a
third term.
Speaker 9 (49:36):
Listen, part of what this administration is up to is
flooding the zone. They throw something at us every day.
They are trying to weaponize despair in order to convince
us that they've already won. And this is just one
iteration of that. He'll say a lot of different things,
but what he's really saying to you is no fight,
(49:57):
we've already won. We've already got They're trying to weaponize despair.
And then when you give in too that you stop fighting,
and then and then they do win. And so what
I want us to do is to straighten our backs.
We're in this fight right now, to try to do
the best we can on the healthcare fight.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Save these snap recipients.
Speaker 9 (50:18):
But I want people to really stay focused on the
fight that's in front of us. I mean, he's saying
all of these things. You look at the polling, it's
clear that he that he keeps going, He's taking on.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
More and more water.
Speaker 9 (50:34):
Americans already have sticker shop, they already have buyers remorse,
and I think he'll say something today, he'll say something tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Who knows what Donald Trump is gonna say. But I'm
going to stay focused on the people.
Speaker 9 (50:49):
You know, in these times, I think often about something
that Andy Young. You know, I live in Atlanta, and
so I get to walk around these civil rights giants
every day, and they inspired me because they had no
to believe that they could win, and they kept fighting
a good fight.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Andy Young tells his story.
Speaker 9 (51:04):
He says, after they passed the Civil Rights Bill into law,
President that Martinus King Jr. And his lieutenants went to
see President Johnson, and Johnson was so excited about the
fact that he'd passed the civil rights Bill and the law.
Doctor King, without skipping a beat, said I need a
voting rights law. And the President kept saying over and
(51:26):
over again, look, you're right about that, but I just
can't get that done right now. I don't have the
power to do it. I don't have the power to
do it. So they left the meeting that the staff
was feeling all demoralized.
Speaker 2 (51:36):
They said, Doctor King, what are we going to do?
Speaker 9 (51:38):
The President says he doesn't have the power to pass
voting rights Doctor King, without even skipping a beat, said well,
if the president doesn't have the power, I guess we're
going to have to go and get him some And
so that's what Selman was all about.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
They went to get the president some power.
Speaker 9 (51:53):
So what I'm saying to you is that as a
voice for Georgia, as a member of the United States Senate,
I'm going to fight for youvery single day. But it's
really not about the people in power. It's about the
power that's in the people. John Lewis understood that Amelia Boynton,
who stood up on that same bridge and was gassed.
We don't say the women's names often enough. She understood that.
(52:16):
Joseah Williams understood that. I understand it. Stay in the fight.
And all of your friends who say, well, it doesn't
matter whether you vote or not, because that's the other
thing they're trying to tell you, It doesn't matter, your
vote won't count.
Speaker 2 (52:27):
Your vote counts, and they know it.
Speaker 9 (52:29):
That's why they're busy trying to jerryman the districts and
do everything they can to discourage it.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
We will not be discouraged.
Speaker 9 (52:37):
We're going to send a love and hope and we're
going to remember our ancestors who had no reason to
believe that they could win, but they kept fighting a
good fight anyway.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
So let me just ask you.
Speaker 5 (52:46):
It's easy for me to tradeen my back, as you say,
because I got good company insurance.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
My kids aren't snap.
Speaker 5 (52:53):
But these you know, I'm concerned that you know, Trump
thinks and the Republican thinks that the Dems will cave
because you know, we're upset about people not getting food
on the table, not having insurance.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
Is it possible that the Dems will cave?
Speaker 9 (53:10):
Look, we're in the fight right now and I'm on
I'm on the line because I need people to stand
with me and to understand what the fight is all about.
Speaker 2 (53:21):
These these issues are not simple.
Speaker 9 (53:23):
I don't like to see hungry children, but I also
don't like to see people finding their healthcare unaffordable.
Speaker 2 (53:29):
And so I'm going to keep on making the case. Wow, ah, man,
I know it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
If you could predict and look in a crystal ball,
when do you think that the government shut down would
be over? And do you think that the Republicans will
come to the table like in uh, where's the breaking
point in all of this?
Speaker 9 (53:51):
I can tell you that they are feeling the heat
because here's the thing, ricky folks are folks are couching
this as a fight between a Democrat and Republicans.
Speaker 2 (54:01):
Here's the irony.
Speaker 9 (54:03):
Guess who needs really needs these ACA tax credits. Who
guess who's on the affordable care right? More Republicans than Democrats,
more Republicans than independents. Guess we know who needs these
these snap benefits. They are particularly needed in these rural areas.
It's the red districts in Georgia and red districts all
(54:26):
across our country that are being especially hard hit. I
know for a fact that some of my Republican colleagues
want to fix this because they're hearing from their own constituents.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
And so I'm going to keep on fighting a good fight.
Speaker 9 (54:41):
And look, we know that that in politics, we don't
never get everything that we want. But the Republicans need
to come to the table. Here we are in the
midst of this fight, and the House hasn't been the
work in six weeks. They've shook work requirements on Medicaid recipients.
If they put those same requirements on themselves, they wouldn't
(55:02):
have healthcare right now. Because they're refusing to even come
to work, let alone come to the table. Why because
they don't want to vote on the ed steam files.
They're more focused on protecting pedophiles than they are on
protecting your health care, more focused on protecting pedophiles than
protecting hungry children who are being dragged into this fight.
(55:27):
And so again, I'm going to keep centering to people.
I'm going to pray with my lips as well as
my legs. As an African proverb that says, when you pray,
move your feet, So wherever you are, move your feet.
Check on your neighbors. Let's stay together, do everything we
can for each other, and let us not give in
(55:48):
to those who are trying to weaponize to spare.
Speaker 2 (55:50):
When we fight, we win. If we don't fight, we
don't win. So I'm going to keep on fighting a
good fight.
Speaker 3 (55:57):
Ladis y'all give it up a senate to Reba one.
Hey man, we love it, God, God love it especially
tick what up?
Speaker 2 (56:06):
Okay? So we are right on top of Halloween.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
It's literally one day away, two days away.
Speaker 7 (56:12):
Now, if you're planning to wear a costume to work,
let's talk about some Halloween costume fails. Because everybody talks
about you know, what are the great costumes to wear?
What are the great things to dress up?
Speaker 2 (56:24):
Ass?
Speaker 7 (56:24):
But there's some things that you need to avoid, especially
if you're going to work up. You're going into a
mixed uh a mixed company type situation, and you're around
people that's not just your family.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
There are the things you need to not do.
Speaker 7 (56:38):
All right, So if you go into a work function
and uh, it's a dress up thing, you might want
to talk to your manager or somebody hr first before
you decide to go in there with a Tarzan costume on, because.
Speaker 2 (56:52):
That might not fly.
Speaker 7 (56:54):
Ah, that might not fly anything that anything that exposes
your upper chair, your buttocks, or any of your frontal equipment.
But city limits not that part. That part, yeah, you
might want to check, especially if you just started working
there life, you just started working there labor day. Don't
(57:17):
roll up at the Halloween party doing the most. But
it's Halloween.
Speaker 11 (57:20):
Why can't we well costume our war tars and costume
a couple of years ago I know, and some people
are still trying to clear that image.
Speaker 7 (57:28):
Yeah that was that was not that's that's why this
nation ain't on the air no more. It all started
with you wearing that constant all started with you wearing
that costume. Bring a change of clothes, and you know,
in case your costume don't hit the way you think
(57:49):
it's gonna hit, Bring a change of clothes and just
just eject, bounce, bailout they might break.
Speaker 2 (57:55):
Yeah, just bail outboard.
Speaker 1 (57:57):
Yeah, abort mission, just get out of it, get out
of there.
Speaker 7 (58:01):
Rock. Let's see nothing Okay, along those same lines, you know,
nothing potentially offensive, which this day in time, you like,
you might not want to wear ice agents of saying
that they're gonna dress up as an ice agent. Yeah,
don't don't do that, don't Yeah, don't don't do that. Yeah, yeah,
(58:24):
don't do that. And don't dress up like you know him,
don't dress up like him Trump, Trump, don't dress up
like him. But that's triggering for a lot of people,
you know. So what's some other one.
Speaker 1 (58:40):
I mean, let's let's I think we should should stay
within our race.
Speaker 10 (58:43):
So like, no black face, no, yeah, white face no, yeah,
we should not do it like I love the movie
White Jicks.
Speaker 2 (58:52):
Yeah, but don't dress like it.
Speaker 7 (58:55):
No.
Speaker 10 (58:57):
Remember, don't even dress like a ghost, you know, yes,
that's a white person. You're just like a ghost. And
I'm gonna think you fool for Gail. You can't get
it's still uncomfortable.
Speaker 7 (59:09):
I fraid you got any ideas about what would be
a bad costume choice.
Speaker 1 (59:13):
Yeah, don't dress like somebody from Hitler's regime. I just stop.
That's not a costume. It's not it's not a costume.
Speaker 2 (59:22):
Rock till you got any garret can dress up like
our city or hall.
Speaker 11 (59:25):
So stupid that every day I already know I'm dressing
like Honey, I'm gonna dress up in a Nike track suit.
Speaker 2 (59:33):
You're gonna be riching.
Speaker 1 (59:43):
If you do the Nika one. I'm gonna do the
Adidas want to be brat.
Speaker 7 (59:50):
Lady.
Speaker 2 (59:51):
Last year she was bucking naked, she said, and she
was a sweeper tat. I was like, sweet, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (01:00:06):
Entertainment on the Freaky Smiling Morning Show, Das Good morning,
Good morning, Ricky.
Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
It is Thursday, October thirtieth and National Candy Corn Day.
Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Here is what's going on in the news.
Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
Remember back in twenty sixteen when Hillary Clinton said.
Speaker 13 (01:00:25):
This, imagine, if you dare imagine, imagine him in the
Oval office facing a real crisis.
Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
A man you can bait with a tweet is not
a man we can trust with no player weapons that
sound by it aged way too well and suddenly fills
brand new President Trump just announced that he's ordering the
Department of War to begin testing US nuclear weapons again.
Trump says that since Russia and China are doing it,
(01:00:57):
the US shaw two. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin is claimed that
Russia just tested an underwater nuclear drone called the Beseiton,
which is said to be powerful enough to trigger a tsunami.
Who bragg there is quote nothing like it in the world. Meanwhile,
if the US does start testing nukes, it'll be the
first nuclear test since nineteen ninety two. In other news,
(01:01:19):
the twenty twenty five Virginia Attorney General race is on
track to be the most expensive in history, with thirty
six point eight million already spent, almost twenty two million
from Republicans and fifteen million from Democrats. This race drew
national attention after a texting scandal involving Democrat j Jones,
but from many Black Virginians it's about more than headlines
(01:01:41):
or price tags. His run represents progress and power in
a state where the AG's office shapes issues like police accountability,
voting rights in fair housing. With Norfolk, Richmond, and Hampton
as key battlegrounds, black voters could actually decide the outcome.
Talk about turbulence before takeoff, Ricky, what was supposed to
(01:02:03):
be a quick hot from Des Moines to Chicago turned
into a full blown in flight drama before the plane
even left the ground.
Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Two United Airlines flight attendance.
Speaker 5 (01:02:14):
Reportedly got into it on board, well verbally at least
management had to step in and score all the passengers
off the plane and pull the entire flight crew. And
we still don't have confirmation on what the actual fight
was about for everyone on these stories. And we're gonna
read this Miley Morning Show dot com.

episodes on November fifth, and it will debut weekly thereafter.
Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
So y'all interested in that?
Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
What about Dary is you're gonna be out to jail?
Speaker 9 (01:06:01):
Ear?
Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Well, you already play so I did. Maybe you could
join him on that?
Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
Man?
Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
Would y'all be interested though? Would you be here for it?
Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Well whatever? I exactly family matters.
Speaker 10 (01:06:15):
I think that Drake and Kendrick Lamar need to handle
their business like family too, instead of you know, taking
it up in the courtroom, they need to just keep
it on the tracks, y'all. Drake has officially appealed the
court ruling that threw out his defamation lawsuit against Universal
Music Group UMG over Kendrick La.
Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Mar's distract not like Us Now. We were all jamming
out to not.
Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Like Us, you know.
Speaker 10 (01:06:35):
Drake sued UMG in January of twenty twenty five over
the labels, promotion and distribution of Kenchrick Mars track not
Like Us Now. Drake allegedly, you know, said that UMG
unknowingly distributed the song, which contained false and defamatory claims,
including insinuations that he was a pedophile.
Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Now.
Speaker 10 (01:06:54):
UMG then moved to dismiss the case, arguing that Drake
had lost the rap battle that he provoked and now
thee of a pill fouled. Yesterday marks the first step
in trying to overturn the federal judge's decision. Now, the
appeals process could take more than a gear. So if
Drake wins at that level, the case could reenter years
of renewed litigation.
Speaker 7 (01:07:13):
At the risk of sounding like a simp, I kind
of see what Drake was coming from in regards to
you labeling me as a pedophile. I mean, everything else
was fine, but that part, like Ricky as a public figure,
you know what I'm saying, that's kind of that's kind
of a tough thing. To label somebody. You can't just
say I'm a pedophile. You can say r you can
(01:07:34):
say I'm weak, you can say I'm you can't say
you can't call me a pedophile something that.
Speaker 10 (01:07:40):
I mean, I mean coming out hard, and there's been
a lot of really nasty things said.
Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
It was really hurting in that song chicken Head when
they set a breast smell like thunder, Oh want your
phone number? You know the people that hurt that brusto smell, Like,
let me say, what was talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
Looking at your phoney? I ain't got no head Dan?
Speaker 7 (01:08:18):
What about the woman who really don't have hair in
the bag? Yeah, wanted to be the one that their
mama didn't pick them up. They just ponytail.
Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
That like the baby the baby boss. But they never
never do.
Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
Right.
Speaker 10 (01:08:35):
Yeah, you know what Nicki Minaj, y'all Nicki Minaj speaking
of rappers, you know she is just giving fans a
glimpse into the mindset that she's prepared for her next
musical chapter. In response to a fan expressing excitement about
her upcoming album that set to drop on March twenty seventh,
twenty twenty six, she offered a hit at West to Come, y'all,
She tweeted, saying, this is the transformational album I never
(01:08:58):
saw coming. I honestly thought I be writing from a
similar place, but that's just not possible anymore. This is
a different Glowe. What do y'all think she's gonna be
talking about? I mean, is it gonna be motherhood, marriage,
mental health? Her internet beef with CARTI Like, what's y'all feeling?

Speaker 10 (07:05):
Then I'm oh, listen I'm excited to be sitting there
for the bread.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Let's get into this hot spot now.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
For the first time in over thirty five years, y'all,
there are no hip hop songs on the Billboard Hot
one hundred's top forties. I mean, can you imagine as
of October twenty fifth, there are none, y'all. This change
is due to the exit of Kendrick La Martin Siss's Luther,
which fell off the chart after a recent rule change.
I hate when they start changing the rules and it
don't really benefit us. The rule change was implemented to
(07:32):
remove the songs that have not been on the chart,
you know, for a long time. Now they fallen below
a certain threshold, and that's a process that previously wasn't
as strict.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Now.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
The last time the Hot one hundred had zero rap
songs in the top forty was February second, nineteen ninety
when Biz Marquis Just the Thread reached number forty one.
Speaker 11 (07:55):
Well, can African Americans create their own charts?
Speaker 10 (08:00):
I'm feeling like we should weah, I love it now.
Just a Friend did jump to number twenty nine the
following week, but the you know, the current highest chart
rapping song is NB a young boy's shot calling and
that's at number forty four.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So Gary, you feel like you want to text stab
that like rapping.
Speaker 11 (08:18):
No, but all that, man, this is so sometime going on.
So when people at the billboards said we won a
nice peaceful year, one year without all the you know,
the back and forth and whatever, so they say, y'all
get your own soul train board and honey, do it like.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
That not so trained board.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You know what that.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Drake, Oh, Jesus Drake said. He is not backing down, y'all.
Drake is officially uphealed the court ruling that threw out
his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar's
distract Not Like Us, the one that we danced to
Super Bowl Too, with all the other things. It's Drake's
sued UMG in January of twenty twenty five over the
label's promotion and distribution of Kendrick's distract Not Like Us Now.
(08:57):
Drake alleged that UMG knowingly distributed a song which contains
false and deflammatory claims, including insinuations that he was a pedophile.
Speaker 11 (09:07):
You know where that is, huh, But that's the white
side of him. That's his white white taking the court
to take them back down.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
That's right now, you and g They then, you know,
moved to dismiss the case, arguing that Drake had lost
a rap battle that he provoked and now the notion
of a pill foul yesterday marks the first step in
trying to overturn the federal judge's decision.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Of the pill.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
Process could take more than a year, and if Drake
wins at the apple it leveled, then the case could
re enter years of renewed litigation. I don't want to
see that back and forth. I won't actually hear the
dish and back and forth on the tracks and not
in the courtroom, now, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Not Like Us.
Speaker 10 (09:43):
Not Like Us was released in May of twenty twenty four,
at the height of his public feud with Drake and
the back and forth that generated multiple high profile distracts
from both artists.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I mean, three, that is what you think? Huh? I
was asking now for free what she think about those
the black and white.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I'm not gonna answer that because I'm all blige.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So said basically like us.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
But if you're battle, then you're battling.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Right exactly, and nothing is off limits.
Speaker 3 (10:14):

Then Shenia said that, Honey. Once she made it out
of the club with her friend, Day told her, girl,
you know that was Prince. However, she said, when they
went back to speak with him, she said he was gone. Thankfully,
Neil y'all shared that she got a chance to, you know,
reconnect with Prince.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
You know, nearly twenty years later.
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Now her friend threw a birthday party and Prince Hunty
surprisedly showed up. Now, while Neil wanted to clear the
app about the brief encounter at the club, she said,
Prince just wanted to talk about her half. She said, quote,
I'll take what I could get, Baby, she said, it's Prince.
Nil said, Honey, letting the just know that she was
a man at all. But a lot of people say, Honey,
she should have met Prince, should have never been in
the situation that she and now with that damn basketball
(18:06):
player coach and cheating with this receptionist.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
She was in that situation, you know, Neil long Man,
Honey cheated with.
Speaker 11 (18:12):
The reception the woman that was booking her flights, Honey,
the white woman that was booking her flights hunt and
Honey was sleeping with our man. So they said, maybe
she should have met princes and shouldn't have been in
that situation. But that's need to hear all that or
were glass, Honey, you know that the situation, you know,
changed and what have you and you know, man back together,
all their friends again, they sharing stuff.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
Prince leave my time a better situation either though, I
know what about Vanity.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And then he left.
Speaker 10 (18:40):

Speaker 15 (21:39):
Jeff, good morning, Happy to Heavy, Hey, good morning, Ricky morning.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Everybody. Good to be with you all listen.
Speaker 16 (21:45):
I think many of us have talked about over the
last few weeks what is going to happen in November
as it relates to SNAP benefits and this government shutdown.
And I'm hearing lawmakers on both sides of the aisle
talk about whose fault it is and and why this
is terrible and why the other needs to come to
the table and create an agreement. But Rick, like, one
(22:06):
of the things I think we're missing is the passage
of the Big Beautiful Bill already cut billions to the
programs that help families eat. I mean, we're talking about
work requirements that now stretch up to sixty four years
old title rules for parents, less room for states to
help out, and it's expected to push millions of Americans, black, white,
(22:28):
rural city off the rolls. And so this is black
families that are twice as likely to rely on SNAP
as white households. But you know who it really it
hits heavily is poor white families across the South and Midwest.
And in fact, the majority of people on SNAP in
this country are not black. And so these are supposed
to be Trump's supporters.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
They're supposed to voted, they voted for the they voted
for the racism. Man, let me tell you that they voted.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
They voted for Trump, they voted for the racism, that's
or whatever. But they didn't understand what come with the
racist learning?
Speaker 16 (23:02):
And they want to learning people they hate they've been learning,
and so the USDA has already worn and they don't.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Care, and they'll vote for him again hungry.
Speaker 16 (23:11):
But and here's the thing, right November benefits are not
going to go out if this continues. That means forty
plus million people are gonna wake up. And that EBT card,
that same one that kept their babies fed last month,
could be a zero balance. And look, two weeks of
day delay might not sound like a lot of folks
in DC, but two weeks without one hundred and fifty
(23:32):
to two hundred dollars a person that's meal skip, food
banks running out and mama's trying to stretch ramen noodles
and peanut butter sandwiches to cover dinner. And in Mississippi,
more than one in four families with kids u snap.
In Ohio it's almost seven hundred thousand households. And across
the country, most of the people on the program are working,
They're not earning enough to make ends meet. So when
(23:53):
the benefits stopped, it's not about laziness. It's about a
system that already stretched too thin. And so let's make
this plan. Y'all, whether you live in a small town
in Kentucky or the east side of Cleveland, when the
cards don't reload, the stress hits the same, and it's
the same empty refrigerator, the same where we look from
your babies when they say, what do we eating tonight?
(24:15):
And I find it insane and just sad that some
of the same folks who voted to cut SNAP are
now acting shocked that people are scared about to shut down.
And you can starve folks and then pretend to care
when they cry out loud, And so what do we do?
Number one, y'all, I don't care what side of the
isle you on. Lawmakers need to be engaged by real people,
(24:39):
both sides.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Gotta let them know we see you.
Speaker 16 (24:43):
Fund the government, protect SNAP, don't play politics with people's food.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Number two.
Speaker 16 (24:48):
If you can support your local food pantries and those
that are providing daily aid, they are the front lines
right now. Number three, check on your folks, because a
lot of us pride is gonna make us hide our struggle.
But we got to take care of each other until
this mess gets sorted out. Because when the fridge is empty,
I don't it don't matter if you voted red or blue.
(25:11):
Hunger does not discriminate.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And so I'm not I'm not here to let people
off the hook for who they voted for.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
That is not what I'm doing.
Speaker 16 (25:17):
What I am doing is saying, these are the moments
that that if we do it the right way, remind
us who is really being tricked by who. This shutdown
is not about miss paychecks in Washington. It's about miss
meals in our neighborhoods. And if that doesn't make America
look in the mirror or make others look in the mirror,
I don't know what's going to And so Rick, I mean,
I know.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
You raise this, and I want you to address these
these white pastors in the in the Christianity or whatever
that that preachers hate or whatever you look you're talking
about Jesus, but you hate people of color and going
against everything with Jesus. Do this with Jesus is vibe families,
which all the stuff that Trump is doing that that
(26:00):
the Christians has uh or the Republicans has hijacked the
Christians or the Christians that hijack the Republican Party with
Jesus do all of this stuff? You know what I'm
saying that, Yeah, they can't. They can't tell me nothing ever, ever,
ever on my TV, honest seen two white pastors stand
(26:20):
up and preach against and talk about racism and segregation
and and and talk about all the all of this stuff,
all whatever that's crazy that they you voted for the
racism and here we are and this is what comes
with is a price to pay, you.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 16 (26:35):
And if it chust going, y'all, it's gonna be wick.
It's going to be a whole lot of other support
services that our folks need and their folks need.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
So y'all, I need y'all to hit me a gagination.
Speaker 16 (26:45):
Let me know how you're supporting, if there's food, if
there's food pantries near you that need support. I want
to make sure that we get information out to as
many people as possible who can support in the midst
of those being hurt by this shut down and more
importantly being hurt by the policies that just don't give
a damn about poor people. Y'all Hit me ajatination on
ig and let me know your thoughts. Love y'all, I

definitely true. Now they're saying Carucci Honey made a stunning
appearance hunting recently at the Variety Power of Women, even

Despite their souths.

They're saying, the clues keep adding up, and that diamond
ring baby, they say, isn't doing anything to cool the chatter. So,

un needs somebody. I mean he and Trace here no

On her fing connected them all. He can get you
a ten care for about four fifty. Yeah, well we
ain't talking about more time.
Speaker 10 (38:56):
We're not going about yo whole time about we don't
want to finger to turn green.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
No, we don't.
Speaker 11 (39:03):
But anyway, congratulating honey. If she did the honey, and
y'all ain't my queens for free story. He's being reported
out there Devin Booker, baby is honey spoty with Miss
Kendall Jenner. They say baby, miss Jilla Honey dumped the
bad bunny because she went back to Devin Booker. Honey,
So congratulations because they said, you know, bad bunny. I
guess he was a bad bunny. And Miss Jiller Honey,
she liked black men. So you don't let her go
(39:23):
back to what she like, honey. So don't let that
girl be stealing with no bad bunny. Bad bunny was
not her type. And you know he's gonna do all
this mess now with the super Bowl and stuff. You
don't want to mess up the brand for the Kardashian Jenners.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
So oh, you said, don't the bad bunny have a
clothing stowing them all? Yeah? He got the cycle bunny.
Speaker 11 (39:40):
Yep, the colauna dawn of my baby, pigeon heat on
the hand, you say pigeon heat and on the lun
just say beautiful yell.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I'm sorry, the producer said, did I tell you the god?
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Damn it? I didn't hear him. I'm sorry, Ricky. Yeah, yeah,
you're just talking to see that people are talking.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Here's what's on the Vicky Smiley Morning Show Center.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
The one I got.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
I got one of your church members sitting up here
Gary with the team. Good morning, passer, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
How are you. I'm doing fine. How you doing, Passawan?
Speaker 9 (40:19):
I'm good. You say he's one of my church members.
And you pay the size.
Speaker 11 (40:22):
Oh, I paid my time every Sunday. I'm there, passion one, Yes, sir,
I sure do. And I love it when y'all sitting
the received in for taxes.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I like that. I love you, brother. I'm just giving
you a hard time.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Everybody, man, we are so concerned that we're gonna get
right into it.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Happy to have you. Thank you for taking the time.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Uh and some of one night right now, millions of Americans, Americans,
they're really caught up in the middle of a government
shut down. SNAP food benefits could be delayed, you know,
or even stopped if Congress does not reach a deal soon,
and that means that people really, you know, gonna be
struggling just to keep food on the table. So I
just really appreciate you coming on in. You know, like
(41:03):
forty two million Americas could lose SNAP benefits next month,
what are the latest efforts to keep that funding funding going,
and pretty much just give us the overall of what's
what's going on and what are you experience and seeing.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 9 (41:19):
Look, this is a serious issue, and as a pastor
who serves in the Senate.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
My heart is really heavy.
Speaker 9 (41:27):
As you point out, millions of Americans are their their
basic food security is on the line right now.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
But let me let me be really clear.
Speaker 9 (41:36):
It's important that your listeners understand this.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
We're in the midst of this shut down.
Speaker 9 (41:41):
And I know there's a lot of back and forth
whose fault is a Democrats Republicans, and I'm happy to
talk about that, but here is what's an actual fact.
The SNAP recipients are not a part of this fight.
They're being dragged into this fight. The USDA has five
billion dollars five.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Billion in a contingency fund.
Speaker 9 (42:02):
There are other resources that they could make available, and
it's just for this kind of situation, for these circumstances.
So they have literally decided to drag hungry families and
hungry children into a political fight, pitting sick people against
hungry people.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
I think that's deeply immoral, and it's the reason.
Speaker 9 (42:26):
Why I'm calling on the Trump administration to release these funds.
In the meantime, there are those of us, yes, who
are in the faith community, our food banks and others
are getting ready to respond to this impending catastrophe. But
I want to make it clear that this is unnecessary,
organized cruelty.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
So I was surprised to see how many children benefit
from SNAP, and I saw in twenty twenty three almost
forty percent of SNAP beneficiaries are children. So I just
want to know how do we get to this and
what is holding up this agreement in DC to protect
families and children relying on the support.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Well, the fight is about healthcare.
Speaker 9 (43:09):
And you know, right now as I speak, folks who
are on the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare,
people who get their healthcare on the exchange because they
can't afford, you know, a private plan.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
And that's a lot of people.
Speaker 9 (43:27):
Twenty two million Americans, one point two Georgians right now
are on the exchange. And as they're opening up their
premium statements, as they go to healthcare dot gov across
the country or Georgia Access, here's what they're going to see.
They're going to see that come twenty twenty six, the
(43:48):
premiums for their healthcare have doubled. And that's not the exception.
I mean, on average, on average, crazy, on average, your
healthcare premium if you're on the exchange has doubled. It
is crazy, and for some people is tripled and quadrupled.
So that's what the fight is about. We're in the
moment where Donald Trump said he's going to lower your
(44:08):
grocery prices. He didn't do that gas prices. So the
price of everything is going up. And then on top
of that, you're telling me you're going to double and
triple and quadruple the costs of health care. That's a
non starter. That's what this is about. And let us
not forget why are they doing this to give billionaires
a tax cut.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
God, well that was great.
Speaker 10 (44:35):
What can Senate Democrats really do to push the issue
at this point regarding snap.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Benefits, Well, we're pushing the issue. And listen, we didn't
just start.
Speaker 9 (44:44):
I have voted several times this year to extend these
premium tax credits.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
That's what we need.
Speaker 9 (44:50):
We need these tax credits that will make healthcare affordable.
And you know, I'm a pastor. For me, this is
a moral issue, but it's also a practice issue. It
is not in America's interests to make our workforce weaker, sicker.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
And poorer.
Speaker 9 (45:11):
We are in a moment where we need the best
and we need everybody at the table.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
And so that's what's at stake in the site.
Speaker 9 (45:19):
As I said, I've voted several times this year to
extend these tax breadits Republicans blocked it every time. And
by the way, I voted seven times already to keep
the government open. Let me be really clear, I hate
government shut downs. And the truth of the matter is
that we've been witnessing a slow rolling government shut down
all year.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Right from day one of this administration through Doge.
Speaker 9 (45:43):
We started to witness them basically shutting down the government
and so this is just the apex of what they've
been up to all along, and the SNAP recipients are
not even a part of the fight. They're literally dragging
them into the fight, pitting hungry people against sick people.
As a Matthew twenty five Christian, my north star is this.
(46:05):
I was hungry and you fed me. Jesus said, you
asked Jesus, when were you hungry? And as much as
you've done it to the least of these, you've done
it also unto me. So I'm appealing to the best
parts of our nature trying to get us to.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Do the right thing.
Speaker 7 (46:17):
Wow, and Senator one, we know that this shutdown is
really hurting the pockets of It's gonna hurt especially in
the pockets are our parents, other seniors, working folks that's
live in paycheck to paycheck. Are there really any options
or any access that people have to any kind of
federal support at this point or should they just rely
on local support and private organizations for help.
Speaker 9 (46:41):
Well, I'm going to stay in the fight because again,
these resources are available.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
We suffer not from a poverty of resources, but of
moral imagination.
Speaker 9 (46:50):
They're centering the politics rather than the people But in
the meantime, as we go into this weekend and folks
are wondering are their EBT cards going to be re
voted and renewed, people can go to Feeding America dot
org and find out where your local food bank is.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
You can do that both to donate.
Speaker 9 (47:10):
To your local food bank and also to find out
where the nearest food bank is where you can receive food.
And I know that many in the faith community, my
church included, are going to stand up in this moment
and we're.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Going to help as many people as we can. But
I'm not naive about this.
Speaker 9 (47:25):
The scale of the need cannot be met by the
faith community and by the food banks, which by the way,
have also been hit by this administration. Earlier last summer,
five hundred million dollars which have been voted on a
bipartisan basis to go to the food banks was clawed
(47:47):
back by the Trump administration. And so these food banks
that are already in distress and now being called upon
to respond in.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
This manufactured crisis.
Speaker 9 (48:00):
But again, as a voice for Georgia and as a
voice for all the people, as a pastor in the Senate,
I'm going to continue to try to call on what
Lincoln called the angels in our and our nature and
Senator people rather than the politics, and hopefully get the
government open back open, get the snap recipients the resources
(48:22):
that they need, and ensure that people don't have their
healthcare double triple quadruple.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Who can afford that? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (48:31):
And I have a real, real, real, real important question
to ask the Senator one knock, And I just wanted
to give me finest opinion because I'm really concerned about
our democracy. Ladies and gentlemen, we have the one and
on the Senator rap Year war Knock joined us this morning.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Hey, we're all with Senator Rep. Year one knock pastor
one knock.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
I want to ask you, and I know it's too
early to be talking about twenty twenty eight, do you
think that Donald Trump is setting himself up for a
third term? And would they really really just ignore the
United States Constitution? Would that happen? Would there be a
third term? In your opinion from everything that you see
and know.
Speaker 9 (49:13):
No, there's no there's no doubt about where what the
Constitution says about this.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
He can't run again. Donald Trump says something ridiculous. Stop.
Speaker 1 (49:23):
How did they stop?
Speaker 3 (49:24):
If you got control of the White House and the
Republican that controlled the Senate in the Congress, and he
has control of the military.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
How was he to be stopped from running for a
third term.
Speaker 9 (49:36):
Listen, part of what this administration is up to is
flooding the zone. They throw something at us every day.
They are trying to weaponize despair in order to convince
us that they've already won. And this is just one
iteration of that. He'll say a lot of different things,
but what he's really saying to you is no fight,
(49:57):
we've already won. We've already got They're trying to weaponize despair.
And then when you give in too that you stop fighting,
and then and then they do win. And so what
I want us to do is to straighten our backs.
We're in this fight right now, to try to do
the best we can on the healthcare fight.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Save these snap recipients.
Speaker 9 (50:18):
But I want people to really stay focused on the
fight that's in front of us. I mean, he's saying
all of these things. You look at the polling, it's
clear that he that he keeps going, He's taking on.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
More and more water.
Speaker 9 (50:34):
Americans already have sticker shop, they already have buyers remorse,
and I think he'll say something today, he'll say something tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Who knows what Donald Trump is gonna say. But I'm
going to stay focused on the people.
Speaker 9 (50:49):
You know, in these times, I think often about something
that Andy Young. You know, I live in Atlanta, and
so I get to walk around these civil rights giants
every day, and they inspired me because they had no
to believe that they could win, and they kept fighting
a good fight.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Andy Young tells his story.
Speaker 9 (51:04):
He says, after they passed the Civil Rights Bill into law,
President that Martinus King Jr. And his lieutenants went to
see President Johnson, and Johnson was so excited about the
fact that he'd passed the civil rights Bill and the law.
Doctor King, without skipping a beat, said I need a
voting rights law. And the President kept saying over and
(51:26):
over again, look, you're right about that, but I just
can't get that done right now. I don't have the
power to do it. I don't have the power to
do it. So they left the meeting that the staff
was feeling all demoralized.
Speaker 2 (51:36):
They said, Doctor King, what are we going to do?
Speaker 9 (51:38):
The President says he doesn't have the power to pass
voting rights Doctor King, without even skipping a beat, said well,
if the president doesn't have the power, I guess we're
going to have to go and get him some And
so that's what Selman was all about.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
They went to get the president some power.
Speaker 9 (51:53):
So what I'm saying to you is that as a
voice for Georgia, as a member of the United States Senate,
I'm going to fight for youvery single day. But it's
really not about the people in power. It's about the
power that's in the people. John Lewis understood that Amelia Boynton,
who stood up on that same bridge and was gassed.
We don't say the women's names often enough. She understood that.
(52:16):
Joseah Williams understood that. I understand it. Stay in the fight.
And all of your friends who say, well, it doesn't
matter whether you vote or not, because that's the other
thing they're trying to tell you, It doesn't matter, your
vote won't count.
Speaker 2 (52:27):
Your vote counts, and they know it.
Speaker 9 (52:29):
That's why they're busy trying to jerryman the districts and
do everything they can to discourage it.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
We will not be discouraged.
Speaker 9 (52:37):
We're going to send a love and hope and we're
going to remember our ancestors who had no reason to
believe that they could win, but they kept fighting a
good fight anyway.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
So let me just ask you.
Speaker 5 (52:46):
It's easy for me to tradeen my back, as you say,
because I got good company insurance.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
My kids aren't snap.
Speaker 5 (52:53):
But these you know, I'm concerned that you know, Trump
thinks and the Republican thinks that the Dems will cave
because you know, we're upset about people not getting food
on the table, not having insurance.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
Is it possible that the Dems will cave?
Speaker 9 (53:10):
Look, we're in the fight right now and I'm on
I'm on the line because I need people to stand
with me and to understand what the fight is all about.
Speaker 2 (53:21):
These these issues are not simple.
Speaker 9 (53:23):
I don't like to see hungry children, but I also
don't like to see people finding their healthcare unaffordable.
Speaker 2 (53:29):
And so I'm going to keep on making the case. Wow, ah, man,
I know it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
If you could predict and look in a crystal ball,
when do you think that the government shut down would
be over? And do you think that the Republicans will
come to the table like in uh, where's the breaking
point in all of this?
Speaker 9 (53:51):
I can tell you that they are feeling the heat
because here's the thing, ricky folks are folks are couching
this as a fight between a Democrat and Republicans.
Speaker 2 (54:01):
Here's the irony.
Speaker 9 (54:03):
Guess who needs really needs these ACA tax credits. Who
guess who's on the affordable care right? More Republicans than Democrats,
more Republicans than independents. Guess we know who needs these
these snap benefits. They are particularly needed in these rural areas.
It's the red districts in Georgia and red districts all
(54:26):
across our country that are being especially hard hit. I
know for a fact that some of my Republican colleagues
want to fix this because they're hearing from their own constituents.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
And so I'm going to keep on fighting a good fight.
Speaker 9 (54:41):
And look, we know that that in politics, we don't
never get everything that we want. But the Republicans need
to come to the table. Here we are in the
midst of this fight, and the House hasn't been the
work in six weeks. They've shook work requirements on Medicaid recipients.
If they put those same requirements on themselves, they wouldn't
(55:02):
have healthcare right now. Because they're refusing to even come
to work, let alone come to the table. Why because
they don't want to vote on the ed steam files.
They're more focused on protecting pedophiles than they are on
protecting your health care, more focused on protecting pedophiles than
protecting hungry children who are being dragged into this fight.
(55:27):
And so again, I'm going to keep centering to people.
I'm going to pray with my lips as well as
my legs. As an African proverb that says, when you pray,
move your feet, So wherever you are, move your feet.
Check on your neighbors. Let's stay together, do everything we
can for each other, and let us not give in
(55:48):
to those who are trying to weaponize to spare.
Speaker 2 (55:50):
When we fight, we win. If we don't fight, we
don't win. So I'm going to keep on fighting a
good fight.
Speaker 3 (55:57):
Ladis y'all give it up a senate to Reba one.
Hey man, we love it, God, God love it especially
tick what up?
Speaker 2 (56:06):
Okay? So we are right on top of Halloween.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
It's literally one day away, two days away.
Speaker 7 (56:12):
Now, if you're planning to wear a costume to work,
let's talk about some Halloween costume fails. Because everybody talks
about you know, what are the great costumes to wear?
What are the great things to dress up?
Speaker 2 (56:24):
Ass?
Speaker 7 (56:24):
But there's some things that you need to avoid, especially
if you're going to work up. You're going into a
mixed uh a mixed company type situation, and you're around
people that's not just your family.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
There are the things you need to not do.
Speaker 7 (56:38):
All right, So if you go into a work function
and uh, it's a dress up thing, you might want
to talk to your manager or somebody hr first before
you decide to go in there with a Tarzan costume on, because.
Speaker 2 (56:52):
That might not fly.
Speaker 7 (56:54):
Ah, that might not fly anything that anything that exposes
your upper chair, your buttocks, or any of your frontal equipment.
But city limits not that part. That part, yeah, you
might want to check, especially if you just started working
there life, you just started working there labor day. Don't
(57:17):
roll up at the Halloween party doing the most. But
it's Halloween.
Speaker 11 (57:20):
Why can't we well costume our war tars and costume
a couple of years ago I know, and some people
are still trying to clear that image.
Speaker 7 (57:28):
Yeah that was that was not that's that's why this
nation ain't on the air no more. It all started
with you wearing that constant all started with you wearing
that costume. Bring a change of clothes, and you know,
in case your costume don't hit the way you think
(57:49):
it's gonna hit, Bring a change of clothes and just
just eject, bounce, bailout they might break.
Speaker 2 (57:55):
Yeah, just bail outboard.
Speaker 1 (57:57):
Yeah, abort mission, just get out of it, get out
of there.
Speaker 7 (58:01):
Rock. Let's see nothing Okay, along those same lines, you know,
nothing potentially offensive, which this day in time, you like,
you might not want to wear ice agents of saying
that they're gonna dress up as an ice agent. Yeah,
don't don't do that, don't Yeah, don't don't do that. Yeah, yeah,
(58:24):
don't do that. And don't dress up like you know him,
don't dress up like him Trump, Trump, don't dress up
like him. But that's triggering for a lot of people,
you know. So what's some other one.
Speaker 1 (58:40):
I mean, let's let's I think we should should stay
within our race.
Speaker 10 (58:43):
So like, no black face, no, yeah, white face no, yeah,
we should not do it like I love the movie
White Jicks.
Speaker 2 (58:52):
Yeah, but don't dress like it.
Speaker 7 (58:55):
No.
Speaker 10 (58:57):
Remember, don't even dress like a ghost, you know, yes,
that's a white person. You're just like a ghost. And
I'm gonna think you fool for Gail. You can't get
it's still uncomfortable.
Speaker 7 (59:09):
I fraid you got any ideas about what would be
a bad costume choice.
Speaker 1 (59:13):
Yeah, don't dress like somebody from Hitler's regime. I just stop.
That's not a costume. It's not it's not a costume.
Speaker 2 (59:22):
Rock till you got any garret can dress up like
our city or hall.
Speaker 11 (59:25):
So stupid that every day I already know I'm dressing
like Honey, I'm gonna dress up in a Nike track suit.
Speaker 2 (59:33):
You're gonna be riching.
Speaker 1 (59:43):
If you do the Nika one. I'm gonna do the
Adidas want to be brat.
Speaker 7 (59:50):
Lady.
Speaker 2 (59:51):
Last year she was bucking naked, she said, and she
was a sweeper tat. I was like, sweet, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (01:00:06):
Entertainment on the Freaky Smiling Morning Show, Das Good morning,
Good morning, Ricky.
Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
It is Thursday, October thirtieth and National Candy Corn Day.
Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Here is what's going on in the news.
Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
Remember back in twenty sixteen when Hillary Clinton said.
Speaker 13 (01:00:25):
This, imagine, if you dare imagine, imagine him in the
Oval office facing a real crisis.
Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
A man you can bait with a tweet is not
a man we can trust with no player weapons that
sound by it aged way too well and suddenly fills
brand new President Trump just announced that he's ordering the
Department of War to begin testing US nuclear weapons again.
Trump says that since Russia and China are doing it,
(01:00:57):
the US shaw two. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin is claimed that
Russia just tested an underwater nuclear drone called the Beseiton,
which is said to be powerful enough to trigger a tsunami.
Who bragg there is quote nothing like it in the world. Meanwhile,
if the US does start testing nukes, it'll be the
first nuclear test since nineteen ninety two. In other news,
(01:01:19):
the twenty twenty five Virginia Attorney General race is on
track to be the most expensive in history, with thirty
six point eight million already spent, almost twenty two million
from Republicans and fifteen million from Democrats. This race drew
national attention after a texting scandal involving Democrat j Jones,
but from many Black Virginians it's about more than headlines
(01:01:41):
or price tags. His run represents progress and power in
a state where the AG's office shapes issues like police accountability,
voting rights in fair housing. With Norfolk, Richmond, and Hampton
as key battlegrounds, black voters could actually decide the outcome.
Talk about turbulence before takeoff, Ricky, what was supposed to
(01:02:03):
be a quick hot from Des Moines to Chicago turned
into a full blown in flight drama before the plane
even left the ground.
Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Two United Airlines flight attendance.
Speaker 5 (01:02:14):
Reportedly got into it on board, well verbally at least
management had to step in and score all the passengers
off the plane and pull the entire flight crew. And
we still don't have confirmation on what the actual fight
was about for everyone on these stories. And we're gonna
read this Miley Morning Show dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
Now here's the look at sports. Many tell me that

about that. Joe flackgo magic picked the Bengals to beat
the Chicago Bears, and I love what the coach are

Stellers this week? Absolutely, Pittsburgh's gonna win that game. Sanf

You'll see it through the eyes of two of the

by going episode by episode. They're going to open the

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
Would y'all be interested though? Would you be here for it?
Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Well whatever? I exactly family matters.
Speaker 10 (01:06:15):
I think that Drake and Kendrick Lamar need to handle
their business like family too, instead of you know, taking
it up in the courtroom, they need to just keep
it on the tracks, y'all. Drake has officially appealed the
court ruling that threw out his defamation lawsuit against Universal
Music Group UMG over Kendrick La.
Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Mar's distract not like Us Now. We were all jamming
out to not.
Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Like Us, you know.
Speaker 10 (01:06:35):
Drake sued UMG in January of twenty twenty five over
the labels, promotion and distribution of Kenchrick Mars track not
Like Us Now. Drake allegedly, you know, said that UMG
unknowingly distributed the song, which contained false and defamatory claims,
including insinuations that he was a pedophile.
Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Now.
Speaker 10 (01:06:54):
UMG then moved to dismiss the case, arguing that Drake
had lost the rap battle that he provoked and now
thee of a pill fouled. Yesterday marks the first step
in trying to overturn the federal judge's decision. Now, the
appeals process could take more than a gear. So if
Drake wins at that level, the case could reenter years
of renewed litigation.
Speaker 7 (01:07:13):
At the risk of sounding like a simp, I kind
of see what Drake was coming from in regards to
you labeling me as a pedophile. I mean, everything else
was fine, but that part, like Ricky as a public figure,
you know what I'm saying, that's kind of that's kind
of a tough thing. To label somebody. You can't just
say I'm a pedophile. You can say r you can
(01:07:34):
say I'm weak, you can say I'm you can't say
you can't call me a pedophile something that.
Speaker 10 (01:07:40):
I mean, I mean coming out hard, and there's been
a lot of really nasty things said.
Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
It was really hurting in that song chicken Head when
they set a breast smell like thunder, Oh want your
phone number? You know the people that hurt that brusto smell, Like,
let me say, what was talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
Looking at your phoney? I ain't got no head Dan?
Speaker 7 (01:08:18):
What about the woman who really don't have hair in
the bag? Yeah, wanted to be the one that their
mama didn't pick them up. They just ponytail.
Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
That like the baby the baby boss. But they never
never do.
Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
Right.
Speaker 10 (01:08:35):
Yeah, you know what Nicki Minaj, y'all Nicki Minaj speaking
of rappers, you know she is just giving fans a
glimpse into the mindset that she's prepared for her next
musical chapter. In response to a fan expressing excitement about
her upcoming album that set to drop on March twenty seventh,
twenty twenty six, she offered a hit at West to Come, y'all,
She tweeted, saying, this is the transformational album I never
(01:08:58):
saw coming. I honestly thought I be writing from a
similar place, but that's just not possible anymore. This is
a different Glowe. What do y'all think she's gonna be
talking about? I mean, is it gonna be motherhood, marriage,
mental health? Her internet beef with CARTI Like, what's y'all feeling?
Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
How to marry a prisoner and be in love? Massy,
y'all put.
