Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, Luke. Chapter five tells a story, powerful story
about Jesus approaching Peter and he was on his bank
of the boat looking out, frustrated because Jesus washing his
net and it caught nothing. All night long they were
trying to fish, and then they came up short. This

(00:21):
day they saw Jesus who approached them. And Jesus approached
them in the morning, and the fact of the matter
is they survived the night to receive a word that
was going to change their entire situation. Jesus tells them
in a real sense, ain't nothing wrong with your net,
Ain't nothing wrong with your boat. What's wrong? It's your location.

(00:41):
You've been fishing in shallow water. So I want you
to launch out into the deep. And today I want
you to hear something. You didn't survive the night to
go back into the shallow place. God is calling you
into a deep place. And the fact is this is
gonna take courage, It's gonna take resilience. It's going to
take you the kind of vision to see beyond what

(01:04):
you always don't. When you're after something bigger, you don't
find it in shallow places. You're not in the tacpole ministry.
God has calling you into something deep. So now don't
apologize that you're done with shallow conversations, shallow people, shallow places.
Just going out there in the deep and say, God,
what you have for me is much deeper than the

(01:26):
way I've been. The only people here is Ricky, that
have a problem with people in the deep are shallow people.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Man, through deep.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
That's because you shallow. I'm changing my crowd, I'm changing
my place today.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
This week is.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Going to the deep. That's where the big stuff is.

Entertainment it's the cockage on the Fricky Smiley Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
All talked us about that time for the brad Page.
What upbout freedom?

Speaker 7 (02:29):
Hey, Ricky, It's Monday, August twenty fifth. Here's what's going
on in the news. The National Guard in Washington, DC
is now armed. The move marks a rare step toward
militarization on US streets, and your city could be next.
Just days after the Maryland Freedom Caucus called Maryland's Wes
Moore of ghetto, Governor President Trump blasted Moore's crime record

(02:51):
and threatened to send troops into Baltimore too if needed.
More fired back, defending be Moore's crime, saying it's lower
than it was before he was born. He also said
Trump could get out of his blissful ignorance and come
walk the streets of Maryland and see for himself. Now,
Trump is threatening two yank federal dollars for rebuilding the
Key Bridge. More shot back that pulling that funding would

(03:14):
cripple Maryland's economy and put public risk at safety or
public safety at risk.

Speaker 8 (03:20):
And in Illinois, Governor JB.

Speaker 7 (03:22):
Pritzer is slamming report that the Pentagon has quietly been
blaming to send thousands of National Guard troops into Chicago
next month. Pritzer says Trump is trying to manufacture a
crisis and politicize Americans who serve in uniform. In other news,
the West is baking under record heat. More than thirty
million people from Phoenix to Seattle are under extreme alerts,

(03:42):
and wildfires in California and Oregon are forcing mass evacuations.
But don't tune it out just because it's not in
your backyard, Doctors warned.

Speaker 8 (03:51):
The same extreme heat patterns.

Speaker 7 (03:53):
Are raising health risks everywhere, from heat stress to higher
er visits. And it's not just your body feeling that strain.
Utility companies are hiking rates nationwide. So the flames may
not be in your backyard, but the heat is showing
up in your power bill.

Speaker 8 (04:09):
And if you are waiting on.

Speaker 7 (04:10):
That overseas package, it's probably not gonna happen. Postal services
in Britain, France, and Germany are hitting pause on deliveries
to the US thanks to a new tariff tangle. President
Trump scrapped the old rule that let anything under eight
hundred bucks sneak in duty free. Now, only gifts under
one hundred bucks get a pass translation. If it's crossing

(04:31):
an ocean and headed your way, expect to bill before
the box reinfall on these stories and more, Gonna beck

Speaker 15 (06:51):
Brat tat tat, and this is the hotspot where we
bring you music, movies, and more. So let's get off
into it. Well, y'all, Netflix has launched a new feature
and it's called a Zodiac watch List.

Speaker 14 (07:06):
And with this, they're.

Speaker 15 (07:07):
Recommending movies based on your zodiac sign. This should be
pretty cool. The movies will be grouped together according to
your sign and will reportedly reflect the character traits most
associated with your sign.

Speaker 14 (07:20):
Now you don't have to into no information.

Speaker 15 (07:21):
They will provide a full list of zodiac signs along
with the movies that they recommend for each. Now, for Aris,
Netflix sated aries love Chaosit Competition and they recommend shows
like Squid Game, Lover Is Blind, and Building the Band.
Now for Leo's Ricky, Netflix says Leo's have that main
character energy and they recommend shows like Emily and Paris,

(07:43):
the Crown and the Age of Innocence.

Speaker 14 (07:45):
So I think that's gonna be pretty cool.

Speaker 15 (07:47):
I mean, do y'all feel like they could uh pick
movies from your from your sign?

Speaker 5 (07:52):
Sometimes be wrong, sometimes the total opposite of a person.

Speaker 15 (07:58):
I think it depends on which one you look at.
Some of them are more accurate than others.

with his travel to get to his performance in Baltimore, Tanner,
his Uber driver, saved the day and drove him ten
hours so he can make it to the performance sometime

Speaker 11 (19:29):
Spike Lee's new A twenty four movie, y'all, Highest to Lowyd.

Speaker 19 (19:32):
Y'all, it was expected to do huge numbers Honey at
the box office with deleted man not other than Denzl Washington.
They're saying, y'all that the movie also starts supporting actor
Jeffrey Wright and rapper Asap rock Hunt and Ice Spi.

Speaker 11 (19:46):
But they say, despite that viral.

Speaker 19 (19:48):
Marketing campaign and Marquee stars, fans failed y'all to support
the movie at the box off.

Speaker 11 (19:54):
They say that movie was a flop. Now according to Variety.

Speaker 19 (19:56):
Dot Com, they say the ticket sales for Highest the
Lord Honey was so week at the A twenty four
and the Apple studios. They say Apple Studios chose Baby
not to release the box office numbers they say it
was that bad. Now, critics said, y'all that it's unheard of, Honey,
for a movie studio not to release box office numbers
after a film premiere. Now age twenty four is very unconsistent,

(20:17):
y'all in terms of reporting numbers, said Sean Robbers, the
director of movie analyst at Fandango. They say it's unheard
of for a well known studio, y'all like that to
be keeping mom Honey about the box office receipts. And
and people are saying, y'all that box office experts, y'all
were baffled this to this, y'all, They were baffled that
asad Rockets success as a rapper, Honey did not translate

(20:40):
to the box office success. Now, they say Rocket has
twenty four million fouls across all social media platforms. They
say he's best known as as pop star Rihanna's common
law husband.

Speaker 11 (20:50):
Now listen to this, they said, quote.

Speaker 19 (20:52):
Fame isn't transferable currency, Honey across medium, said the box
office analyst Jeff Box. They say movies are their own
sacred rituals and thus Honey have different fan behavior. Music
fans want to see their favorite artists in person. Out
of concert, not on no damn on movie screen, he said, unquote.
And some people say that that Jerry Jones may have
had something to do with that. Denzel Watcher talked so

(21:15):
bad about him and them cowboys the other day. They said, Honey,

All right, y'all to collude today, Honey is one of
my favorite clue my colue today, guys, Mongolian beef.

Speaker 11 (24:01):
On the high you say Mongolian beef. And on the lawn,
just say beautiful brown, beautiful brown.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
All right, directed Aroun in the Morning Show. Hey listen, man,
so happy to have you own Roland Martin. Jeff Juston
is out today.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
But it's all good. Thank you man for for you know,
for jumping on at the last minute. One on Martin.
Ladies and gentlemen, he's happening.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, hey, Roland, let's jump right into it, man. Uh uh,
let's start with the National Guard, the troops in Washington,
d C. On that arm Uh you know, but but
crime is reportedly down in d C.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
So why.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Let's let's start right.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, I'm just going to screw most.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Remember he kept talking about violent crime.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Man.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Most of the people getting these are misdemeanors. They're misdemeanors.
There's there's small things. See see this is this is
the game that they play. So WUSA, a local televisation
of DC, did a breakdown and most of the people
arrested are misdemeanor small cross. It ain't even it's misdemeanor.

(25:11):
That's the game. Now, we have learned that Trump ordered
the Pentagon months ago to prepare a plan to send
troops into Chicago, into New York City. Vice President Kamala
Harris warned us about this, and you know what, people said, Oh,
she's she's not serious. He's not going to do that.

(25:31):
And all them simple simon negros who said don't vote
in the said, oh, they're not coming for us. They
can't impact us. That's what they're going to do. This
is this is a show. This is a farce. And
what it is is it's really speaking. It's really got
to some of these white folks salivating, who say, look
at them, you get them under control, when if you

(25:53):
look at places that are so violent, eight of a
top ten or in red state, he ain't sitting in
troops there. Black people need to understand this is a
war on black people. It is a war on poor people,
and that's what we're dealing with Roland.

Speaker 10 (26:08):
Don't you think it's also a precursor to the twenty
twenty sixth election, where people they want to get you
used to seeing troops in the streets when they send
troops to voting precincts and things like that to intimidate
people from going to vote.

Speaker 12 (26:22):
No.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
This is a precursor twenty twenty eight because there are
Republicans who want this man to have a third term.
And see, this is why the House is so important.
You have to understand what the Constitution says. The House
certifies the election. Let me say this again. I know
people out there think they need to understand the election

(26:43):
process in America. When the states, when the states, when
the states ratify their election results, they then sit into
the US House. The US House does not have to
accept that. And in the case of a tie or
anything along those lines, gets who picks the US House.
So why do you think Trump wants those five seats

(27:06):
in Texas? Why do you think they're trying to jerry
Mander in Ohio, in Florida and Indiana because they are
scared they're going to lose the House. If they lose
the House in twenty twenty six, then they don't control
the House in twenty twenty eight election.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
Right, So what can these cities do?

Speaker 7 (27:25):
I mean, California Governor Knewsom couldn't do anything about national
he tried to sue.

Speaker 8 (27:30):
But he can do anything about National Guard community California.
What can happen?

Speaker 9 (27:32):
What can they do?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Well, you got to remember, you got to remember, you
got Now there's a thing called the Insurrection Act. Okay,
so Trump, So the reason Trump can do it in
DC is because the federal government has authority over DC,
so that that's a lot easier.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Now, remember in Los Angeles that was only specific of
if there was only specific, so that was a different
type of thing right there. Now, if he tries to
sug oh, I'm doing it for crime, there's nothing in
the constitution that does that allows that. And so you're
gonna have the lawsuits. But you've got to remember, this
is the problem that we have in the country. The

(28:10):
courts can actually issue a ruling. The courts don't have
an enforcement mechanism. Guess what the enforcement mechanism is? It
for the courts, the Department of Justice, and he can
close it so you go reck it like literally literally
the reason they'res if people, if everybody listening is true

(28:32):
to google the trail of tears, that's when they are
literally attack Native Americans, the Supreme Court ruled against Georgia.
Andrew Jackson went, yeah, whatever, I'm gonna ignore it. We're
gonna do it anyway. So that's what Trump is also done.
So the whole Abrago Garcia deal, that was all the
pre curtent, that was all the set up to. We

(28:55):
don't have to we don't have to follow a court ruling.
They only want to follow rule that they like. And
so if we will warned about this stuff, if we're
trying to warn people, while we must vote massive numbers.
They they want to. They want to run the cities.
They and it's for Donald Trump. This is all a

(29:15):
television show. This is all about for show. It's not
about truly reducing crime. Because in DC they not seeing
the troops to the high crime area.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Wow, they're not.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
That's the game being played.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
That's great.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
We're gonna have you back on this week for sure.
Let everybody know how you could be.

Speaker 2 (29:34):

people are conscious. If you're Latino, Asian, American, white, it
does not matter. I'm telling you we can take this
thing back. We can actually stop these people. We got

know how they say that, Yes, you also got to
meet them whether they or not. Because let me tell you.
Everyone can't go where you're meant to go. Some will
never reach the mindset, maturity, or a mission that your
journey requires. And this is why I'm letting black Tony
go and so so so honor the state. Respect huh

(31:23):
uh uh, and don't let nobody shrink you your destiny
when you're trying to get that. Let me give you
an example. Can I give you one? Come on, you

Good morning, Good.

Speaker 19 (33:54):
Morning, Riggy, Good morning America, Good morning to you. Is Monday,
a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day in the neighborhood. And here's
what's happening in celebrity news. Y'all, baby, everybody, the girls
are talking, honey. Miss Mirando may Day is speaking out, Honey.
If y'alln't know who.

Speaker 11 (34:08):
Mirandom may Day is, let me tell you who she is.

Speaker 19 (34:10):
She's the beautiful wife of missus Raven Simon, Honey, and
she is speaking out, baby. She's letting the world know, baby,
and she make way more money than Raven somemon own Honey, Yes, honey,
they said. Miss Miranda Mayday, who previously worked Honey as
a personal assistant to various celebrities and has also worked
as a Duela Honey, reportedly Honey revealed that she is

(34:31):
much richer than Raven someone whose self ned Roth is
only forty million dollars. That's what Raven is on work.
But now they're saying, y'a that the revelation was made
Honey by may Day. Last month during the episode of
the couple's podcast Honey, they said in the clip Honey,
which is making the rounds of the internet. A month later,
they said, Miranda Mayday fu Honey, the claims that she
married that's so ravenh actress Honey for her money.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
She said.

Speaker 19 (34:54):
First of all, she said she was really bummed because
she thought that marrying me, a Jewish girl, she was
going to get an upgrade. Part of why I feel
like Honey, I just stayed ten toes down about it
when she spoke about this other, you know, with her
whole chance out there, Honey, so people could think that Honey,
I just married her just for her money, she said,
I didn't marry her for her money. She said, Hell,
I'm richer unquote, and social media just went up. So

(35:19):
I mean so she I wondered, she's worth what forty
one million if Raven is only word forty Brad, I
know that your good goo googe good friend, Honey. Do
you know anything about that.

Speaker 9 (35:26):
No, I'm not no, cause I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
Honey.

Speaker 11 (35:29):
She talked about that, so Raven like that.

Speaker 15 (35:32):
Okay, if Raven was sitting there, they're absolutely fine with
whatever was said.

Speaker 11 (35:36):
But would you be fine that Judy will tell me
I'm richer than Brad? Would you be matter?

Speaker 14 (35:39):
It wouldn't matter. We love each other. She could say
whatever she wanted to say, and I can say.

Speaker 15 (35:43):
Whatever I want to say, long as we don't disrespect
each other because was huss and it's all one.

Speaker 19 (35:49):
It's all all one, so it goes in one pot
then right, all right, So she wouldn't be sitting there
disrespecting me talking about honey.

Speaker 14 (35:56):
That's not disrespected. So okay, Raven probably laughed at it.

Speaker 15 (35:59):
It was, honey, because people always got something to say,
so you could tell anybody anything.

Speaker 11 (36:03):
Well, that's true too, honey.

Speaker 19 (36:05):
Well, congratulations raving them around, hunt. I'm glad, y'all both rich,

Speaker 5 (39:39):
Shall Rick's amount of morning show. Hey, it's time right now.
It's twenty nine minutes after the aur y'all. We are
one week away from Labor Day and many retailers will
soon have their best deals on the display. And we
got our money expert this morning. You're not throwing this
here to guide us in our shopping this holidays. You
and not good morning.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Half of the.

Speaker 26 (40:02):
Money Monday to use the morning, Riki have this.

Speaker 15 (40:06):
Money Monday, juanly So, Look, JENNI, plenty of retailers will
be promoting Labor Day deals in store and online. What
items can we expect to see on sale?

Speaker 10 (40:16):
Brad?

Speaker 26 (40:17):
I am so sad that the summer is ending, but
truly it is. Indeed, because Labor Day is here, I
cannot believe it is wrapping up. So Brad, people should
be looking out for bigger ticket items like mattresses will
be on sale. Appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers, indoor
and outdoor furniture, grills, and of course summer clothing. All

(40:41):
of those items we can expect to see on sale
this upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend.

Speaker 19 (40:47):
Okay, so, Jeni, So which retailers I said to have
the best deals like Paylands places?

Speaker 26 (40:57):
This is the pre before Black Friday. We can expect
all the retailers from the big ones, Amazon, Walmart, Low's
Home Depot, Everybody's gonna be running sales this weekend. But
I think we all should be very intentional to make
sure that we're also spending our money with the smaller
retailers as well, spreading that money around, spreading that love

(41:20):
around and supporting the big and small businesses.

Speaker 7 (41:23):
Okay, So, since Latertay weekend is one of the prime
times of the year to save money on all the
discounted stuff, how can shoppers prepare for their holiday spending?

Speaker 26 (41:32):
Okay? And that keid wh're there is prepare. I'm so
happy to hear you say that. First and foremost, we
need to start with our budget. How much can we
afford to spend and not end up getting ourselves in trouble?

Speaker 23 (41:47):
Number two?

Speaker 26 (41:48):
Not success?

Speaker 2 (41:48):
What we really need?

Speaker 3 (41:49):
You know?

Speaker 26 (41:50):
Is it the best time to go head on and
get that new guest bedroom set, furniture? Do we need
a new dryer? What do we really need right now?

Speaker 18 (42:00):
So?

Speaker 26 (42:00):
What do we really want right now? Also, please let's
be intentional and do some comparison shopping. Yes, you may
have to make the investment and spend that those dollars,
but who is going to have the best deal and
the best terms for you right now? And just because
something is on sale does not mean that we need
to buy it. We want to make sure we're.

Speaker 22 (42:22):
Holidays TV because my TV is too small.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Would you know what, just forget it the one the
one that I mean it's b but like I want
to feel like I'm at big one one like with
rock t Come on, I got.

Speaker 9 (42:43):
That hunted, got that hunted?

Speaker 22 (42:47):
Okay, you gotta have it for the sports though, man
sports every day, so like you feel like you're on
the field and you gotta have.

Speaker 9 (42:55):
Some round sounds you can around.

Speaker 14 (42:58):
Yeah, you got the sound? Okay, I'm sorry.

Speaker 15 (43:01):
So Jana, with all this great deals, is there anything
that we should hold off on buying right now?

Speaker 26 (43:08):
And it's funny that Ricky just mentioned wanting in say.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
TV right now? Think about it, y'all.

Speaker 26 (43:15):
Y'all know, Black Friday is all things electronics. So when
we think about TVs, when we think about computers and
new phones, you know, a lot of time we should
be holding off now the only think about the TVs,
y'all know. Football season has started, so a lot of
times you're going to see some really good deals trying

(43:35):
to get people to make the investment on those one
hundred inch televisions or whatever other size that you want.
So here's the time. But those game consoles, a lot
of those things that we think about getting ready for
Christmas holiday. A lot of those electronics we can hold
off until Black Friday.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
Okay, all right, we're talking to to finance expert. Listen man,
finance and legacy experts. You're not going if you have
a question for your finances or estate planning, hit us
up at eight.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
Six six nine Riki eight sixty six nine, r I
c k E y more? Was you not throwing? Coming
up next week by the morning show? Oh, Jana, we
got to do one.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
I went to a funeral where they took up a
collection We got to talk about barrier planning because uh
oh boy, sometime at night they took up a collection light.
They put the little tie and off the thing in
front of the Okay eight sixty six nine, Riki eight
sixty six.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Nine, are I c k u y all right? You
all what you're not throwing? Good morning.

Speaker 18 (44:34):
I am a in the process of purchasing a time share.
I have about four and a half years left on
my time share and I'm just trying to figure out
is this a good investment.

Speaker 10 (44:46):
To leave for my family, for my legacy.

Speaker 26 (44:50):
Hey, good morning. I'm sorry with the bad news, but
typically no very high upfront cosse ongoing maintenance limit, very
limited to resell value. So I would not suggest that
you buy one. Certainly would not be looking at one
as an investment to leave my family. Sorry about that.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
Yeah, oh, I heard a lot of bad stuff about that.
That dog on time share Sana.

Speaker 26 (45:17):
People always trying to sell them, They're always trying to
get rid of them. Sounds like a good idea. Easy
to get in, very very difficult to get out of
the extremely difficult.

Speaker 5 (45:28):
Yeah. Yeah, because when you start hearing all these commercials
about how to get out of a time share, we
can help you get out. That means that something is off. Yeah,
A Jones not going good morning.

Speaker 26 (45:38):
I was trying to bring up my credit and I
wanted another best way to start doing that, all right,
building credit. Here's a few things that you could do
very quickly. You know, a lot of times we're focused
on paying our bills by the due dates. If we
could pay by the closing dates, which is not the
same thing, it's typically earlier, that can absolute helped. Splitting

(46:01):
your payments in half. So, for example, if you have
a car note, or if you have a credit card,
paying twice a month versus once a month can absolutely
help you and if you're in a little bit of
trouble and you need to build a little quicker a
secure credit card can absolutely help as well. That's a
really good tool for young people too.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
All right, Jovis and I throwing good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
My name is Adrian.

Speaker 27 (46:24):
I have a small business. I started out I had
a bookkeeper helping me to keep up with my taxes
and all that kind of stuff for my business. Then
a few years ago I started trying to do it
myself and kind of fell off.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
I wanted to know how what do I need to
do to go about getting on track.

Speaker 26 (46:45):
Hey, Adrian, as a CPA, as an accountant, I want
to tell you you definitely want to get some outside help.
So just how you had a bookkeeper before, Please put
that in your budget. Please make sure that you have
someone who's going to maintain books, making sure all those
transactions get reconciled, everything in your accounting system, and someone

(47:07):
to file your taxes. So ask some of your other
friends or other colleagues for referrals. But you want to
make that investment, please get that in your budget.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Jones are not doing good morning.

Speaker 12 (47:19):
Hello.

Speaker 28 (47:19):
I would like to know what if a young entrepreneur
wanted to start a business, how could he start it
with just from the beginning, from the just as finances
that he has.

Speaker 26 (47:32):
You know what's interesting about that question is I think
a lot of people don't realize sometimes it's better that
way that you only have your own money because it
will help you make better decisions. And I'm saying that
not just as an accountant, but as an entrepreneur. We
don't need to start borrowing money till we really have
worked out what we're doing. So create a budget on

(47:52):
what it's going to take based on where you are today.
You're not trying to scale. What do you need right now?
Get that flow going before you can start using other
people's money or sometimes you will see people start using
a credit card to help them kind of get things going.
But Countess has an advantage, not a disadvantage.

Speaker 5 (48:12):
All right, John, I thank you so much and we
are always appreciate having having you.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Let everybody know how you can be reached.

Speaker 26 (48:20):
Hey, are you always happy to be here? So if
you have any additional financial questions, please follow me at
Jeni Thornton. That's j I N I, T H O
R and t O N. Y'all have an amazing money Monday, everybody.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
Man, this is about that time man law violation Monday
or what a special cake?

Speaker 25 (48:41):

Speaker 12 (48:41):
What up?

Speaker 2 (48:42):
What up?

Speaker 4 (48:42):
Time?

Speaker 10 (48:43):
For all males age thirteen and above. I need y'all
to go ahead and uh let's get that manhood up.

Speaker 9 (48:49):
That's right. You don't violate any of these man laws.
Let's start with this one.

Speaker 10 (48:55):
If you're sleeping with another man's wife under no circumstances,
if y'all go out, should you hold her hand as
if y'all were a couple.

Speaker 9 (49:05):
You can't hold her hand, don't.

Speaker 10 (49:07):
Sleeping with is one thing, but walking in public holding
her hands, that's really a violation. And you can't kiss
in the mouth, so you don't have no respect for
You can only give a peck. You can't kiss in
the mouth like for real, for real. That's that's that's wrong.
What's the purpose of the well? I mean because you
could do the other things. You could, you could do
the other but basically you can't be affectionate with him

(49:28):
if you do all that. Yeah, because now you're acting
like this your girl, like that is't your girl.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
And that's out of the Kevin Samuel's Rude Book.

Speaker 10 (49:37):
Yeah, that's out of the special k Man law violation. Okay,
even Kevin, don't go as far as I go. He's
nowhere near as toxic as I am. As a grown man,

Good morning, Good morning, Ricky. It's Monday, August twenty fifth.
Here's what's going on in the news house. Democratic leader
Hakeem Jeffries is dropping more hints that his party is
about to push back on Republican redistricting in Texas.

Speaker 29 (51:56):
This is a racial partisan jerry mander ordered by Donald
Trump as part of an effort to rig the midterm elections.
And when not gonna let it happen, we will continue
to respond when necessary across the country. Right now, this
has happened in Texas. California has responded. Let's see what
comes next.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
So the Texas cent had just approved a new congressional
map that could hand the GOP five more house seats.
California Governor Gavin Newsom just signed off on a plan
for a special election to redraw maps, potentially giving Democrats
five new seats of their own. Voters will decide on
it statewide this November. If you're on your way to
work in Philly today, your morning commute just got harder,

(52:39):
and this may only be the beginning. Starting this morning, buses, trains,
and trolleys are running on twenty percent less service, with
thirty two bus routes gone, and fare is set to
jump twenty two percent next week. For writers, that means
fewer options, long waits, and more packed commutes starting right now,
and for drivers, brace yourself. More people are turning to cars,

(53:01):
adding to rush hour traffic official say without two hundred
and thirty one million in funding, nearly half the system
could disappear by January. The man cops in Bourbank called
the butt sniffer just cannot keep his nose out of trouble,
police say, thirty eight year old registered sex fender. Police
Crowder struck again over the weekend, this time at a

(53:21):
Walgreens where he allegedly sniffed a woman's but officers found
him nearby and hauled him in without incident.

Speaker 8 (53:29):
If the name sounds he.

Speaker 7 (53:31):
Needs to stop, it's because Crowder was arrested just last month.

and nickname was church member. Everybody grew up. Everybody who's
church member church member?

Speaker 11 (53:55):

Speaker 4 (54:46):

Speaker 10 (54:54):
Lay it down, laid it down, Come on, man, discipline,
discipline and professional NFL preseason and all the team's getting
ready to cut their rosters down in the fifty three
man roster. Everyone is trying to decide and see if
Shador Sanders is gonna make the quarterback depth chart on
the fifty three man roster with the Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 9 (55:13):
Only time will tell.

Speaker 10 (55:15):
In the meantime, his older brother, Shiloh Sanders, was released
from Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being ejected from the game
this past weekend versus Buffalo Bills. He got into a
scuffle with tight end Zach Davidson a Buffalo and threw
a punch.

Speaker 9 (55:28):
He can't throw punches, man, I mean, it is what
it is. It's the new rules. So stephen A. Smith
had some words for Shiloh and Shador.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
They young Chadur Shiloh.

Speaker 9 (55:39):
I get it.

Speaker 30 (55:40):
The protective of their daddy, I get it, But somebody
needs to tell them that moving forward, as you communicate
in defense of your dad and what he's doing, how
you communicate and how you come across matters because you
represent him and you represent the program.

Speaker 10 (55:59):
Yeah, man, I mean you can't throw punches, man, I
mean I know Shilow was yeah him first, they was
he was just blocking him.

Speaker 9 (56:06):
They was blocking him. They were just in the scuffle.

Speaker 10 (56:08):
This part of football and the new rules, with the
new rules, now, I love it. I love the physicality
of what happened, but under the new rules, you can't
throw punch. It looked like it was an instinctive punch.
I think they were looking for something, you know, shallow. Listen, listen, man,
it's shallow.

Speaker 12 (56:23):
Good.

Speaker 11 (56:23):
Yes he is.

Speaker 9 (56:24):
Is he good enough to be in the league, Yes
he is. Is he good enough to be a starter?
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (56:28):
I mean he's definitely good enough to be on somebody roster,
So you know, I don't know. That's just me, man,
it is what it is.

Speaker 23 (56:34):
Bottom me.

Speaker 10 (56:34):
On social media at Rocky Hollowless discussed it. Break out
the hotspot right now, drop.

Speaker 25 (56:40):
It, drop it like a child's at I don't reason
amount of the morning brand before you do the hospital Elfritas,
but everybody that's just waking up this.

Speaker 11 (56:54):
Morning, I let him know.

Speaker 4 (56:55):

doing it at Walbreys.

Speaker 8 (57:07):
Call him the butt s He was hauled off without incidents.

Speaker 11 (57:29):
Is that a fellon?

Speaker 9 (57:31):
I don't think, Oh God, misdemeanor.

Speaker 8 (57:35):
Maybe brat. You had the hot spots.

Speaker 11 (57:50):
And the noise.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
He was not making sup.

Speaker 9 (58:05):
In the hotspot.

Speaker 14 (58:09):
Hooray y'all, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 15 (58:11):
This girl brats the hotspot Where we bring you youth
movies and more to Let's get off. Serena Williams is
catching some heat from fans who say they are disappointed
by her new weight loss drug ads. She recently opened
up about losing thirty one pounds using golp Ones, and
she says it has helped transform her body after having
two children. After her announcement, she began a partnership with

(58:34):
Roe accompanied the sales golp Ones weight loss medication. Shortly after,
Serena debuted her new partnership with the company, and critics
began flooding her comments section with disapproval over her public
support of the product product. She took issue with the
language used in the commercial, specifically slamming lines like after kids,

(58:55):
it's the medicine my body needed, and this is healthcare.
Others voice concerned that the message might negatively impact women
struggling with body acceptance, arguing that while the tennis champion
has every right to use the medication, she doesn't need
to promote it.

Speaker 14 (59:09):
So what do y'all think?

Speaker 15 (59:10):
Is there a problem that she's promoting something that she
believes in that's worked for her. Is it a problem
that she partnered with this company?

Speaker 14 (59:17):
What y'all think, of course not do you?

Speaker 19 (59:21):
And I don't think it's a problem with help people
that's diabetic promoted, okay, So I mean yeah.

Speaker 15 (59:28):
And if it's helped her positively, why not share that
If it's helped her and it has helped her positively,
so she just wants to share it, and if other
people want to use it or do it, there's nothing
wrong with that.

Speaker 7 (59:40):
I think it's great that she's honest about it too.
She just lose weight, like a lot of these celebs,
like I just will tell the truth because everybody can't go.

Speaker 8 (59:49):
In the gym and die like that.

Speaker 5 (59:54):
You got your knees bad and you got issues to
keep you from doing all that piscical you know, physical stuff,
and you just have to lose weight where you won't
be you don't be sick.

Speaker 9 (01:00:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
Good, good for her, me too.

Speaker 15 (01:00:06):
And I think it's smart that she partnered with the
company because she's promoting it, you know, so might as
well get a piece of that.

Speaker 14 (01:00:12):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 16 (01:00:13):
People get deals all the time and do stuff. We
just heard the Jeezy got to deal with.

Speaker 15 (01:00:16):
Uber because this Uber driver took them to a show.
So I think it's great that these companies are promoting
and giving them a little something because they talking about them.
A lot of people don't get nothing for talking about people,
you know, So so I think this is good.

Speaker 14 (01:00:30):
That's just my opinion. You know, I'm one of however,
many meals.

Speaker 5 (01:00:33):
She looks great, trying to get she had the baby.
Everybody body is different, and she looks great. So whatever
she do, work for her, make her feel good about
her stuff, make herself feel better than you know, I'm
all for it, because my thing is as long as
you're happy, happy with yourself. Well whateverbody you're just inhealthy
and whatever the body you decide.

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
That you whatever works best for you, it is your
business and your life.

Speaker 15 (01:00:57):
Yeah, Like, I had a caffeine headache. I drank some
Foldi's coffee, So what what's the problem? Like, how needed
to get rid of my headache? So is it wrong
for me to say what helped me if it helps
other people?

Speaker 14 (01:01:10):
Like, that's crazy to me, right, y'all? Go ahead.

Speaker 11 (01:01:14):
European men on like big butt women like that, So
they like.

Speaker 16 (01:01:19):
Her husband definitely don't mind anything with her at all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Gary.

Speaker 16 (01:01:24):
Yeah, they got married.

Speaker 15 (01:01:25):
You know, her butt was big when they got married,
And I don't think she did she lose her butt get.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Yeah, well yeah, she did not.

Speaker 5 (01:01:37):
Get his own prescription time by the State of Black America.
In this morning, we have the current president of the
National Urban League, Mark Morray. Yae hey, good morning month
to Mark. Were happy to have you and I know
it's a lot going on in Black America.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
Good morning Ricky. This morning on the State of Black America,
I want to talk college sports. The NCAA settled a
lawsuit to reform the system through which college players are
paid for the name, image, and likeness. This settlement is

(01:02:15):
an unjust system, mass is reformed, and we're urging members
of Congress to reject those laws that are necessary to
put this settlement into place. College athletics have long operated
as a planned station style economy where predominantly black athletes

(01:02:35):
in football and basketball generate billions in value without being
denied by being denied basic pay and labor protections. I've
written to the Congressional Black Caucus urging them to oppose
this reform legislation supported by a number of Republican members

(01:02:56):
like John Thun and Ted Cruz. Even Donald Trump has
issued an executive order and the flaw with this system
is that instead of a system through which college athletes
participate through a revenue sharing in the almost twenty billion
dollar industry called college sports, it caps the amount that

(01:03:19):
they can receive. This is inconsistent with a Supreme Court
decision which initiated this entire discussion. The Supreme Court struck
down all of these limitations and said that each individual
player had the right to their name, image and likeness,
which means they could do endorsements, they could be paid

(01:03:41):
to play college sports. College sports operates a lot like
the pros, big sponsorships, television contracts, swag and merchandise being sold.
And this settlement, here's the flaw. It excludes media rights
revenue all together, cutting the players off from an important source.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
This is a bad deal.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
It keeps in place this plantation style economy, and these
student athletes, ninety eight percent of which will never make
it to the pro level, are being denied basic rights.
Let's stand up for our student athletes. Let's stand up
for a system that denies wealth and in favor of

(01:04:31):
transferring that wealth to those that are producing the dollars
and the wealth, and those are the players, the student athletes.
I'm Mark Morel and I lead the National Urban League.
This is a state of Black American. That's always great
to be with Ricky on the Ricky Smiley Morning Show.
Follow me across all social media and I will see
you next week on the radio.

Speaker 19 (01:04:52):
And for more.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
Follow nuon dot org. Follow at in That Urban League
and at Mark Moreal for more of this important conversation
about student athletes.

Speaker 4 (01:05:04):
It's the biggest vallyblity shows.
