Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the deal.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Usually show your twenty twenty five, but it is. What
happened was Priday, so Tuesday wouldn't have wash listen to
this discussion. You think that President Trump is an evil person?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
You do.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
Yeah, and you heard how reasonable I was about the rest.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Oh yeah, see what about him? Do you think makes
him evil?
Speaker 4 (00:16):
The thing that I can't get back from is that
he has spent the last maybe twelve years repeating every
single time. And I'm a jury consultant, so I know
the value of repetition in terms of persuasion that illegal
immigrants and every single time that I've ever seen them
say the word immigrant, I tried to find other ones.
He said that their rapist, murderers, criminals from mental institutions.
(00:37):
They're emptying their prisons out, and he has I will
never believe otherwise, as somebody who studies this, that he
has created a cognitive association for people with immigrants and criminal.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
This woman basically for the notion that Trump was evil.
Did you agree? That was the question we posted to you.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
You said, AHG, double l. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
The south targeaded half right. He was into bed with
the devil.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
But the devil is sitting on his lap. He's as
evil as it comes.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
Yeah, I think that Trump is the devil and carnate himself.
I think he's a demon because if you look at
everything he's done Trump two point one, two point two
or whatever, because he's done everything he could to destroy
the United States, to destroy every brown, black and blue
person he can find, and I just can't stand him.
(01:29):
I wish he would go off the face.
Speaker 8 (01:30):
Of the earth.
Speaker 9 (01:32):
Yes, I one hundred percent agree with d L.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
I think that you are what you do. And not
only do I think that Donald Trump is an evil person,
but one has to go even deeper and think.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
That if more people than not voted for this man
to become president and to.
Speaker 10 (01:48):
Lead this nation, is America evil?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I think that this man is evil, and I think
that America is setting a very bad precedent for itself. Yes, sir,
he is about the most gal and evils man I
have ever seen, you know. And for them to put
a man like that into the White House, taking food
away from kids, taking jobs and securities away from family,
(02:12):
to stuff his own pocket, school its own reed. What
kind of person does that?
Speaker 8 (02:17):
Right now?
Speaker 6 (02:18):
I am shamed to be an American in the United
states with our president like that. He do not even
know how to speak correctly. This man is like a
ten or fifteen year old. You don't know how to
talk to people, and he don't respect people. The man needs,
not ever needs to be in the White House, and
(02:39):
they never should have put him back. But that's what
they voted for, so that's what they got.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So Wednesday would have happened. Wasn't an buys the dealer
for a fourteen on nephew who was getting bullied for
his foule said, but then she is chewed out by
his mom for overstepping boundaries. She said it caused irreversial
damage to self esteem. Was the right for any this?
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Let you hear a little bit.
Speaker 9 (03:02):
I would want somebody to tell me that I'm sunk
it and I would want somebody to help me out
because it takes a village, and she's a part of
that village. So I don't feel no type of way
she did right. Yes, nobody want to be smelling.
Speaker 11 (03:15):
No stinks.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
I don't understand why do we get mad about somebody
doing something nice for us? He was thinking or he
get teased, so he stinks it's a good thing that
grandmother bought deorder and oh man, you smells why you
want to get teased at school? Like why is the
parent even mad? But hey, God, do what we gotta do.
Speaker 12 (03:39):
I don't think that the mother should have gotten mad
at the auntie. I don't think that Auntie overstepped her bounds.
If the mother wants to be bad mad with somebody,
she should be mad with herself for not checking her son.
And like I said, it takes a village, and if
she don't want her son to.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Be part of the village, and she needs to do
what she needs.
Speaker 12 (03:56):
To do as a mother to make sure her child
is you know that his hygiens are in order. I
would have done the same thing that Auntie did. She
probably would have said something to the mother first, and
if it continued, then I would have did exactly what
the auntie did. You know, he's getting bullied at school,
and evidently the mama didn't take it serious. So I
commend the auntie for doing what she did.
Speaker 13 (04:18):
I think that she could have asked the parents first
if she could provide him with the yodorant, because I
find that sometimes it's not like what people do.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
It's like the parents just wants to know they want
to be involved.
Speaker 14 (04:31):
In that decision because otherwise.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
They need to like embarrassed or like they have a
loss of control. Me personally, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Have like care.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
I'd be like, thank you for getting made my son
some fyodorant, Like I appreciate you good looking out.
Speaker 11 (04:44):
But I think sometimes like parents just want to.
Speaker 13 (04:46):
Know ahead of time before you take any action involving.
Speaker 14 (04:50):
With their child.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And then yesterday we asked, so a woman justifies stealing
our daughter's inheritance because her father didn't pay childs. The
boy listen to this.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I don't know why you think you can just take
my money.
Speaker 13 (05:02):
It's not your money, it's not yours at all.
Speaker 14 (05:04):
It is my money.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I had you. It's in my name.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
That's stealing.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I gave you your name, that's stealing.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You took my birth certificate and claim my inheritance.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That's stealing.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I had you with your father that passed away, that
didn't give me a single.
Speaker 12 (05:23):
Dime, not one dime to help take care of you guys.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
So you're admitting to stealing. So you think that's okay
to stealing?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Did the mother have the right to take the inherent
that is a trifling broad there and I'll let you guys,
will let you answer what you say.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You said.
Speaker 13 (05:38):
What I have to fear about the question is today
the mother is absolutely not wrong and it's not illegal.
If the child is under the age of eighteen, the
mother does have right to it. I don't see another
lying saying they can not pay your child or however,
I do think she should set some money aside for
the young lady for the future.
Speaker 10 (05:56):
It's definitely wrong. Like I said, when it comes to
black people with money, it's always it issue was always agreed,
that comes behind it. The daughter was right, that's not
her problem. You lay down with this man and you
had that. He left that for his daughter. He didn't
leave you anything. And then now you want to be
spiteful and you want to use her money for whatever reason.
It is now like he left it to her for
a reason. That's his seed. Whatever situation y'all had, it's over.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
And done with.
Speaker 10 (06:17):
Y'all had a child, all of it. He left something
for her for her to have him. You just want
to get greedy and take all her money. That's i'nfair.
Speaker 14 (06:23):
I know that's her mom, but sometimes people have to
be responsible for their actions, and that girl should literally
press charges on her mom and make her either pay
her back or serve some time for it, because that's stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
It's ridiculous because she's punishing the child for her decision
to have a baby, a boy, that man, So it's
no reason for her to take out the frustration that
she has towards him on her by stilling her inheritance.
Is this ridiculous?
Speaker 11 (06:52):
He's disgusting.
Speaker 10 (06:53):
He has a mother.
Speaker 11 (06:55):
I am ashamed of her, Like, that's that child's money.
If he didn't pay what was up to you when
the child was younger to take him to court and
get your money. That's her inheritance. That's disgusting as a parent. Yeah,
she's dead wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
She reminds me of my ex wife. My ex wife
used to spend our daughter's college scholarship money. She was
on a scholarship for basketball. She had a full ride
and they paid her every quarter and by the by
thirty six hours after the money dropped, the account would
be empty. And I didn't know it, but my daughter
(07:31):
ended up going to her coach on a regular basis
telling her she didn't have any money to buy food,
and the coach said, well, you need to take your
mother off the account, and she wouldn't because she didn't
want to do her mother wrong and she didn't want
to press charges. That is some trifling mess.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Now it's time to give it deserving someone the shoe
Booty of the Week award.
Speaker 10 (07:50):
And now it's time for the.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Shoel Oh yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
You can French kiss the guy next to you.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
As an American politician, attorney, and political commentator serving as
their junior United States Senator from Texas since twenty thirteen,
he is a bad, bad man. A member of the
Republican Party, Cruise received widespread popular backlash for objecting in
(08:23):
the twenty twenty presidential election and given credence to the
false claim that the election was fraudulent.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
I'm sure I hate it.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
So why is Ted Cruz this week's recipient of the
shoe Booty of the Week awards?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Lying?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Ted gets the shoe booty because he was literally tripping.
You're killing me, small, Tellytubb. Ted is drawing heat for
chasing the sun in Europe as his constituents back home
dealt with a devastating crisis. You are.
Speaker 13 (09:00):
And I washed my hands of you.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yes, While a devastating flood was killing and displacing Texans.
Kremlin Cruise was in line to visit the Parthenon in Athens, Greece.
This is after Governor Greg Abbott announced twenty four deaths
and signed a disaster declaration.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
This guy, this is not my kind of guy.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
And speaking of can Coon, this is not the first
time Cruise has drawn scrutiny for enjoying sunny trips abroad
while his state contents with crisis.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
All that comes with no big surprise to me, Sir.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
The Senator was spotted boarding a plane for can Coon
while his constituents dealt with the power outage caused by
a historic wind or weather. You're in big trouble, mister,
and we all know thatat Wolverine will take his direction
from the commander and soiled briefs and us like him.
He'll show up late for the fight and take all
(10:04):
the credit for the win. This is going to be
a fraud like you've never seen. And that's why the
Shoes Booty of the Week award goes too. Ted Cruise.
Now here's a swift kick in the ass.
It's the deal.
