Speaker 1 (00:20):
Good evening, America, Hello Chicago, and what's up west Side?
This is p Ray of Black Excellence Hour show for
people with high self esteem. You could have been anywhere
this Sunday and you chose to be here with me
at Black Excellence Hour. And as always, I appreciate the company.
If you are watching live and that could be live

(00:42):
on the Black Excellence Hours Facebook page, on the Intellectual
Radios Facebook page or the Intellectual Radio face excuse me,
a YouTube page, be sure to share the live, share
the live. Today I have a special guests who is
coming to see us today and that is mister Daniel Bolan.

(01:06):
Daniel Bolan is the gentleman who is doing the recall
this fall petitions. This gentleman is working very hard to
get our pleasure of getting the mayor recalled put on
the ballot. So we're gonna bring him on today because

(01:28):
this is not working, and it's not working for you,
it's not working for me, and we have the chance
to say oops, we want to do over. So we're
gonna have mister Bolan on on top of talking about
all of this foolishness that they've been trying to do
with my Donnie. It's absolutely ridiculous. You know, two fridays ago,

(01:50):
I went on Fox News. And when I went on
Fox News, I told Americans that Jim crow Joe was
Jim crow Joe. And this is why we called him
Jim crow Joe in the city of Chicago, because he
likes to.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Say bad things about black people. And we have like.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and
tons and tons and tons and tons of evidence to
prove it, because he's been in the government for over
fifty years, talking.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Bad about us for over half a century.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
And so once I said that Jim crow Joe and
his people popped out with this like black voters for
Biden stuff. And they then tried to say that my
Donnie said the N word on the Apprentice, but that
had already been disproven at twenty sixteen. So now, friends,
what they're going to try to do is paint my
Donnie as a racist. That is now their goal. They

(02:45):
want us to believe that he is a racist. He's
gonna hurt us, so on and so forth. Because the
message of Chicago read is permeating throughout the country. Everybody
is like, yes, we are so happy with what you
guys are doing. In Chicago or right on, we want
to do it in ours town too, and they can't
have that. So they want to make my Donnie President

(03:05):
Trump a racist. But remember he always said these words
roll tape.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Americans built this nation. You built this nation. You know
you're just starting to get real credit for that.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
I don't know if you know that. You're just starting
to get You built the nation. We all built it,
but you were such a massive part of it, bigger
than you were given credit for it.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Right?

Speaker 3 (03:36):
But through generations of blood, sweat and tears, and you
deserve a government that defends your interests, protects your families,
and cares for our own citizens. First, my administration is
fighting with everyone in all our heart to reverse the

(03:56):
pain inflict it.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh what happened with Donnie? That was weird. It's okay.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
What he says is the pain inflicted by Democrats who
have done nothing but try to wreck ruin.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And destroy our nation.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
And we know those words because we listen to them
every single week here at Black Excellence Hour. Let's get
to the meat of the show. My people, Lord have mercy.
So first things first, because they're going so hard to
try to lie and convince the people that President Trump
is this terribly racist person who just is gonna hurt

(04:40):
Black people and eat us and send the KKK, which
is the gorilla warfare arm of the Ku Klux.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Klan, to eat us up.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Actually, if the Klan was to ever come to Black Chicago,
Joe would have sent them, because again he's been working
with Klan grand wizards like Robert Bird like.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
These people were real live clans. Mean y'all.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
The Dixiecrats, they were so racist that they created their
own racist party and then they tried to run for
the United States I believe in nineteen sixty the US presidency.
Once their candidate, Barry Goldwater, lost that election, then the
Dixiecrat split. Some of them went back into the Democratic Party,
some of them went to the Republican Party. But all

(05:24):
of this is Dixiecrat trash. All of these people are
like Confederates that we should have just got rid of
at the end of the Civil War. But because we're
such gracious people, we allowed them back into our society
and they've been nothing but a cancer ever since. I'm
gonna let you guys listen to what Jim Crow Joe
said on June twenty eighth, nineteen seventy seven. This is

(05:47):
your president that they're trying to make you go vote
for rotape.

Speaker 6 (05:51):
This thing is being north versus south. That's not the issue.
It is rural versus urban. And most of the bussing
has taken place today's taking place in rural areas areas,
whether it's be administratively ordered or court order. Now we're
moving into applying the same standards to urban areas, and
it is a standard that doesn't make sense, it doesn't apply,
it doesn't hold. We're moving from trying to in this.

(06:14):
In urban areas we've had integrated facilities but segregated neighborhoods,
and in rural areas we've traditionally had integrated neighborhoods but
segregated facilities. And they've applied the same standard in the
same test. So this north south thing is not really
the issue. As Professor Nathan Glazier at Harvard is indicated
as doctor Armor of the Rand Corporation, as James Coleman is,

(06:37):
I just tell three days of hearing, two days of
hearings in Judiciary Committee on another bill I have beyond this.
It deals with bussy and there is uniform opinion of
those who testified that it is not a North South
it's an urban rural question distinction.

Speaker 7 (06:51):
But dot matter what your intent, there are going to
be those who says it's a segregated thing, it's a
question of race, and that you have set back the
movement of disegregation of schools.

Speaker 8 (07:03):
How would you answer them?

Speaker 6 (07:05):
The way I answer that is I predict that the
young black leadership of America will overwhelming to decide with me.
I predict that in nineteen eighty and eighty four my
position will be totally vindicated by the sociologist and by
the civil rights Africa. You know, I'd come from that
side of the track. That's where I'm from. I was
a defense lawyer. I handle civil rights cases. I set

(07:26):
in Unroote forty. I mean, you know, I'm not from
the other side of this. And I happen to think
that the one way to ensure that you set the
civil rights moving in America further back is to continue
to push bussing because it's a bankrupt policy. And that's
why I think I'll be vindicated. I don't include myself
with pro or anti bussing for US. I think The

(07:47):
only group that can determine whether or not a constitutional
violation existed the federal courts of the United States of America.
No one else has that right. Secondly, a federal court
of the United States of America determined in a violation
of the Constantitution with regard to school desegregation cases must
find that there is a specific intent to segregate before
they can order bussing that I bide by, that I

(08:10):
legislate by, that I hold by, and they're the standards
we should repair to. It's difficult to establish intent, but
it's clearly possible. Factually it can be established. The court
has the Supreme Court eight to zero eight to zero
ruled yesterday that they must find that. And you very
well know as covering this area, as long as you

(08:32):
have that there is there are legal standards by which
you bring in burdens of proof to establish whether or
not there was a specific intent.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
So Jim Crojoe right there said that your kids, my child,
that I don't get a bus for. See, remember y'all,
these are all the same people. This is literally why
Brandon took the buses from the kids, because they said
that theory could see no intent to segregate they saw.
I can get into it, but we're not talking about
Brandon right now. However, Jim crow Joe said that he

(09:06):
didn't want his kids to be in a racial jungle.
He didn't want them to be around your kids or
my kids. And yet we got black folks rushing your
back down telling you to come and vote for him.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Moving on, let's talk about what they did to my Donnie.
So they convicted him with thirty four charges, thirty four
felonies whatever. First things first. So and it's still black
Chicago for Trump. It's steal Chicago red. Do you think
now we're supposed to say, I'm gonna go vote for
Jim crow Joe because Trump got charged for paying a

(09:43):
prostitute to keep his name out her mouth. I don't care.
I don't care over here, I don't care over there.
I don't care on a moat, afloat, or even on
the boats. I do not care here, there, or anywhere.
Who cares?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
So what?

Speaker 1 (10:01):
That has absolutely nothing to do with the open border,
That has absolutely nothing to do with the invasion. That
has absolutely nothing to do with our tax dollars being
reallocated to illegals who are here that has absolutely nothing
to do with anything, not our safety, not our security,
not our health, not our economy. So what and guess

(10:23):
what now they're saying that they have to figure out
how they're gonna punish him. And so he said that
today he spoke and he said that he would accept
house arrests or jail time. If they put them on
house arrest, then he's gonna be on house arrest in
the White House.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
And so what.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
This is also, you know, a case where you have
to understand that prison time is very rare for people
in the state of in the state of New York
to go to jail for felony false vocation of business records.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
So they never even put people in jail for this.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
This is all optics to keep people who want to
be confused confused. Don't argue, don't fight, don't fuss, don't cuss,
let them have their little You gonna vote for a
felon show? Is you gonna vote? Uh huh, yes, I am.
We don't care. However, because prison time is rare, that

(11:30):
doesn't mean that prison time isn't a possibility. The maximum
sentence for this crime is four years. President Trump went
on Fox News and said, I'm not sure the public
would stand for it. It would be a tough it
would be tough for the public to take. You know,
at a certain point, there is a breaking point. He

(11:50):
is going to appeal, and upon appeal, he has to
demonstrate that Judge Juan Mrshan made significant errors overseeing the trial.
He wants to take he meaning President Trump, wants to
take the case all the way to the Supreme Court.
And they also tried to get Mershan disqualified from the

(12:11):
case because they said that he had biased and the
district and because of the district attorney who prosecuted the case.
So he said that he, meaning President Trump said on
truth Social the Supreme Court must decide, and I totally agree.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
I totally agree.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
I mean, why not why not send him to his
Supreme Court where he has already talked to or nominated
his people, and let's get this country back on the road.
This is the first and last time I will be
discussing Donald Trump's trial.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Per Rad does not care. But let me tell y'all
about it.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
A lot of ways that the Republicans are fighting back
this time. They are not going quietly into the darkness.
The US Senate on May thirty first, twenty twenty four,
wrote the following statement, The White House has made a
mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our

(13:13):
politics in Unamerican ways. As the Senate Republican Conference, we
are unwilling to aid and abate this wet this White
House in its project to tear this country.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Apart. To that end, we.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Will not one allow any increase in non security related
funding for this administration or any appropriations bill which funds
partisan law fare. Two vote to confirm this administration's political
and judiciary appointees. And three allow expedited consideration and passage

(13:46):
of democratic legislation or authorities that are not directly relevant
to the safety of the American people. Sincerely, Senator Michael
s Lee, Senator Tommy Taberbill, Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Roger Marshall,
Senator JD. Vans, Senator Eric Smith, Senator Rick Scott, and

(14:07):
Senator Mark Rubio.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
It's going down now.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
The Senate Republicans say, y'all want to play with us
like that. That's okay, because you won't pass another bill through.
And it's a shame that this is how it has
to go. But this is how it has to go
because Jim Crow Joe knew that he could not win
and rather just to take his whooping with pride, he

(14:31):
tried to cheat and the people called him.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Moving on.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
It's not only p ray and Chicago red in the
West Side and the South Side and the North Side
and over East and then the suburbs that feel like
this about Jim Crow Joe, but they are also talking
about this in New York City. I'm gonna play something
from you that was posted by Alexit. They went out
to interview people in New York City and this is

(14:57):
what they have to say. Roll tape didn't do it.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
He's too old.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Sorry, but everybody elected him. So that's your book.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
And you ain't black. He's shitting me a line to
it to people, and you ain't black.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
He's the worst president that we ever.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Had, and you ain't black.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Joe Biden, please go back to Delaware because New York City,
you have no idea what we.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Need and you ain't black.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
He's a slamming mother, you know. He take you out
to lunch and stick the fork up your ass right after.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Who do you want to win the twenty twenty four election,
Joe Biden or Donald.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Trump, Donald Trump. I want Donald Trump, and you.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Ain't black Trump Trump. That happens to be me. In
case you forget, when he was in it was no crime,
crime was down.

Speaker 8 (15:42):
Uncle Donald. Okay, that's a nice guy.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
And you ain't black.

Speaker 7 (15:47):
Trump is straight up and down like six o'clock. At
least I know what it what I get when it
comes to him.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
And you ain't black.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
I was more comfortable with Donald Trump in and.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
You ain't black. I'm not voting for Joe Biden. And
you ain't black Trump.

Speaker 8 (15:59):
That's right out city, that's right out shit.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
What do you like about Donald Trump? He on board,
He don't care like you know.

Speaker 8 (16:07):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
And you ain't black?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Oh, Joe Biden doing Remember Jim Joe said you ain't
black if you do not vote for him. And I
guess he doesn't understand what blackness is because we are
free and as he reminded us, Delaware was a slave
state too. He has the culture of the Dixiecrats. Moving on,

(16:30):
Let's get to some local stuff. And I want to
speed it up because I do have my guests waiting
on the line.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Like I told y'all.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
I wish I could come on here and say good stuff,
but I cannot because the CTU and their progressive agenda
is making our city less and less safe every single day.
Did you know that there was a mass shooting at
Benito Warez Community Academy where for students were shot too

(17:01):
fatally and the school principal and staffers threw up roadblocks
to the police investigation and weeks later had to be
threatened with grand jury subpoenas to spur their cooperation. What so,
let me tell y'all what happened right before Christmas break
in twenty twenty two. Four students were standing out of

(17:21):
the warreate standing outside of the Warez High School. They
were about to go home. They saw that there was
a student who used to go to the school who
got kicked out for acting up. They saw him and
they said, come on, we have to go. And so
now when they tried to leave, that boy walked up
to the group and asked them if they were a

(17:41):
part of the gang. The children did not respond and
he shot four of them, two of them in the
head point blank.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Then the boy ran away. They got them on tape.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
A child at the school, identified the boy by name,
wrote his name down, gave it to the people to investigate,
and the people at Warez High School did not try
to help the Chicago Police Department at all, at all,
at all, at all.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Lord that mercy.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
So the person who needs to be spoken to the
most is a woman named Miss jeddin Cho. She is
the chief of safety and security in the Chicago Public Schools.
She said that there was a disagreement that the emergency
of the shooting warranted their cooperation, and there was a
disagreement on whether or not the high regular officials of

(18:39):
both agencies would be in charge. And this went on
again for months. The Chicago Police Department had to discuss
having the principle of Warez High School. His name is
mister Carlos Juan Carlos Ocann. They had to discuss having
mister o'conn charged with obstruction of justice. However, they decided

(19:02):
not to and CPS never punished him at all. Now
they're saying that the delays cost investigators invaluable time to
interview witnesses and gather physical evidence. They also said that
they arrested a sixteen year old about eight weeks later
in connection with the mass shooting after they saw him

(19:22):
leaving with the stolen car and he had a rifle.
They're saying between the slayings at Warez and the time
they arrested him, he took part in another shooting before
they got to him. But they could have got him
while he was standing right there. But because the Chicago
Public Schools with the CTU have this no police in

(19:43):
the Chicago Public schools culture, they did not want to
help the Chicago Police Department. The reason that they said
that they cannot help the police department is because the
only time you could call the police to the school
is if they there is an active shooter information in situation. However,

(20:04):
CPS is saying that it wasn't an active shooter because
the boy left, But then the Chicago Police Department said,
it's obviously an active shooter situation because we never caught him.
So their socialist anti police culture is now costing us
justice when our children are attacked in the Chicago public schools.

(20:28):
This is a real thing, y'all. This is why again
we are talking about recall this fall, because we gotta
get these people out of here. They would rather try
to virtue signal than helping our children and our families
get the justice that they deserve.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
It is absolutely ridiculous. It is absolutely disrespectful.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
And the moms of the school had something to say
about it, because this, again, friends, is not okay.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Sins have been announced in the deadly shooting outside of
Benito Warez Community Academy last year.

Speaker 9 (21:05):
Pelisa, a sixteen year old, is behind bars.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Tonight.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Casey Cronas is live with more.

Speaker 10 (21:09):
Casey, Don and Corey. The alleged shooter's name has not
been released because of his age, but he is facing
eleven counts, including two counts of felony murder, and he
will be tried for those as an adult. This comes
as the mothers of the victims tonight decided to speak out.
The shooting happened on December seventeenth outside of Benito Warres

(21:32):
High School in Pilsen. Fourteens were shot, Two of them
did not survive. Fourteen year old Nathan Biegos, who attended
Chicago Bulls College Prep, was killed along with his friend.
Fifteen year old Brandon Perez, who was a Warraz student.
A fifteen year old boy and a fifteen year old
girl were also shot. They were injured. Soon after the shooting,

(21:54):
which took place at dismissal time, police released surveillance images
of the suspected shooter. Officials say that team was arrested
at his home yesterday after police say they set up
surveillance there. But this evening, Alderman sig Joe Lopez and
the parents of the victims say enough is not being
done by CPD and CPS to keep their kids safe.

Speaker 9 (22:18):
And now we have two kids that should be with
us today and the other kids are terrified because it's
still no communications and a plan of how we're going
to prevent the strategies from happening again.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Not only that, but that.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Like if they were involved in some kind of gang affiliation.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
That maybe they knew them and they.

Speaker 9 (22:38):
Had some kind of gang thing going on.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
They're not gang bingers.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
There were kids.

Speaker 10 (22:44):
Meanwhile, CPD held a press conference earlier today where the
CEO of Chicago Public Schools spoke and says they have
increased patrols at schools.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Now.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
The guy that you heard talking saying that we have
to do more for the kids was Byron Cicio Lopez,
and he was the one who was pushing for the
Palestinian referendum to go through while two black boys were
killed downtown at Innovations High School on Madison and Wabash.
And then right before then, we have a little boy
who was killed over there at Longwood Academy out south.

(23:21):
So he mentioned none of those murders, not this little
boy's murder, but instead they were pushing for the Palestinians.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Again.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
This is why we have to recall all these people,
because they are not being serious. Let's move on, moving on.
I also want to let you know that with that
fifty three million dollar budget that was pushed or billion
dollar budget that was pushed last week, we also know
that the work permits for All Clear Committee and so

(23:51):
now the illegals will be giving work permits. They about
to start working it Clear Committee. I bet you they
didn't tell you that on your other station. Speaking of
I want to give a shout out to Miss Carolyn,
who I just met at my friend Tiffany's baby shower.
She said that she's been listening to me. I was
just sitting there. She's like, where do I know you from?

(24:12):
What's your name?

Speaker 2 (24:13):
And I told her my name and she's like, oh
my god, it's you. I love you, girl. I love
your show.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
I love you too, Miss Carolyn, and I know her
daughter and her goddaughter. She's like, I did not know
they knew you. I'm like, I've been in your life
for years, you just never knew me. So shout out
to Miss Carolyn. Moving on, speaking of propaganda, the Chicago
Sun Times has published Russian propaganda push expected for the
Chicago Democratic National Convention. Experts say these things are target

(24:44):
rich shlews for the Russians to try to use lots
of things and see what really works. They're about to
call the work of Chicago Red Russian disinformation, just like
last time. Mark Zuckerberg called me a Ukrainian troll. Remember
when I had my blacks for Chicago page. He's like,
any blacks for Trump pages? You see, those are Romanian trolls.

(25:06):
Where they're about to start rolling that out again, y'all.
They're about to start calling us Russian disinformation. And before
you start, yo, Mama Wayne. Moving on, lastly, we went
to Brandon's house. I told you guys that we were
going to pull up on him last week to talk
about what happened with Emma Mitz.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
We did go over there.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Shout out to everyone in Chicago Red who went Miss
College Trust, Miss Beverly Miles, Miss Kimberly Saunders Osyrus. We
had Michael Youngbay out there, We had his baby girl
who spoke. It was a wonderful time. This was me
at the press conference rotape. Because Brandon Johnson is committed
to making sure that black people in this city knows

(25:50):
that he does not respect us.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
We have a man over here from Elgin, Illinois.

Speaker 7 (25:55):
Elgin.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
He is not from the twenty ninth ward. He is
not from the twenty seven. He did not grow up
in my neighborhood and our neighborhood. We have people out
here that have been spending fifty years who have flipped
and now we're holding trunk signs because of Brandon Johnson.
So mister john said, we want to let you know

(26:16):
very loud and clear, that we will not.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Stand for you disrespecting black women.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Because Emma Mint said that she believes that this happened
to her because she's a black woman, and I believe
it's true too.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
We all believe that that is true too.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
We're not gonna take the disrespect to her Black Chicago.
Because you like to tell people that you're one of us,
but you're not acting like you can't to us. You're
not acting like we're in the same culture, we have
the same goals, because everything you do is to appease
people outside of us.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Shout out to the Chicago Red.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
So with all of that being said, I'm gonna bring
on my two guests. I have first, my lovely, lovely,
lovely city hall correspondent, mister Mark Armstrong. Mark, Welcome to
Black Excellent Tower.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
Welcome.

Speaker 8 (27:13):
Oh, thank you. Rather you know I'm not in shotgun
with you, Rank.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Oh yeah, I should have been brought you. Sorry, but welcome.
So y'all we are riding shotgun on the show. Because
this is my city hall correspondent. He has been in
local news for over thirty years.

Speaker 8 (27:30):
Correct, yep, actually forty something years. Yes, I've been covering
of public affairs in Cook County for forty something years. Well, welcome,
including out there in Dalton in Dornton Township.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Yeah, well I know where all the ballings are buried.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Well, welcome to the show. Welcome, welcome, Welcome. So tell
us what's been going on.

Speaker 8 (27:55):
Well, it's it's it's I want that you mentioned Lopez
because he's one of the older men that were older
persons that were for pulling shop Spotter out of the neighborhoods.
In fact, when when our black police Superintendent Snelling was

(28:18):
discussing the public safety plans for the convention, he had
a meltdown and kind of called himself clowning the clowning
Smelling but ended up clowning himself and then sort of
ran outside the council chamber and just disappeared because he
promised me an interview to discuss what was going on

(28:41):
there and then he just disappeared. Also, he's one of
the people that supported that was in support of pulling
the SROs or the security resource officers out of the schools.
And lately he's one of seventeen older persons who are
signatories to a less asking the University of Chicago to

(29:04):
restore the greeds of the students who posed a public
safety hazard and a health hazard by setting up that
encampment on the university's campus around the time of graduation.
So these people, these altomens and the mayor constitute what

(29:27):
I'm calling animal farm champagne socially. If anybody's met animal farm,
you remember that the pigs that were running everything from
a eutilitarian standpoint, were living it up for the sacrifices
of the other animals until they got literally drunk with

(29:49):
power that they fell in a stupor, and that gave
the other animals finally a chance to lead a successful
revolution and uprising against the pig's power to Tolperian power,
which was reinforced by the dogs Champagne of socialists in

(30:12):
the UK senses it's used are people who come from
a very elitist standpoint and expect the same thing, to
live it up off of their prominence and power, while
the rest of us have to make sets suffer from sacrifices.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yep, we gotta we gotta eat the slop, right.

Speaker 8 (30:34):
Hence the rest of us are suffering at the extense
or or or the migrants are being uplifted at the
expense of those of us who have been denied certain
services and things to help us pursue life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness at at our extense.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
So this is why we're moving forward with this recalled
this fall atcollege.

Speaker 8 (31:04):
This fall absolutely and I want to clarify something where
Dan waves in on this. A lot of people have
had so much to say about number one that Dan
isn't the father of this wave of the movement, and
that why do it to a black guy. And we
aren't saying that he's the father of the movement overall.

(31:27):
If you want to get down the brad Packs, the
father of the movement overall would be mishaum Ford because
he's the one that introduced a sponsor the require McDonald
Act dating back to nineteen I'm sorry, twenty fifteen, rather
when Rob Emmanuel was the mayor to allow all municipalities

(31:51):
across Illinois to recall their officers whether they be mayors
or village trustees or town trustees or or foreign corporated
terms and uh all the persons.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
There was another way where it wasn't organized like his.

Speaker 8 (32:10):
Like Damn's way.

Speaker 5 (32:12):
There is now that sought to certainly petitions.

Speaker 8 (32:16):
But they did not follow the law that said that
the petitions.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
Have to be uniformed no matter where you.

Speaker 8 (32:23):
Certain you know, people have different versions of this other
thing of the of the petition, and that would easily
get them knocked off the ballot. So then they would tell.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
You go ahead. I was gonna tell you go ahead.
Maybe you're going to answer my question.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
So if Dan will tell you, he's gotten found legal
advice and he's following the law, and we've been helping
him research the election code, which is Chapter ten of
the Illinois Compiled Statutes, to make sure that he's on
point and to cut and to cut any opportunity for

(33:00):
or any forces, whether they be from the Cook County
Democratic Party or the State Democratic Party, or the or
the mayor, to knock this thing off the ballot. So
go ahead.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
I'm sorry that So let's let's bring in.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Let's bring in Dan.

Speaker 10 (33:20):
Dan.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Welcome to Black Hi, Welcome.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
I appreciate you having me on.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
How are you doing, I'm doing very well. Thank you
for being so bold as to take this effort on.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
Well, you know, it's something that needs to be done
for democracy more than anything else, because we've allowed people
to walk all over us, whether we're Black Chicagoans, White Chicagoans,
Latina Chicagoans, for far too long. And when we elect
someone who doesn't do their job and doesn't do what

(33:56):
they say they're going to do, then we should have
the right to recall. And you know, this whole movement
started for me when I was reading comments on Twitter
that said, why can't we recall the mayor. And so
I went out and found out why we could or couldn't.
And you know, so I'm not the father of the movement.

(34:19):
I'm more like the uncle of the movement. Wanted to
know why, why we couldn't do something and if we
could do something about it. And so to that end,
I reached out to former Governor Pat Quinn, who, when
he was governor, actually got a state referendum pass to

(34:40):
recall any future Chicago governors. Now that's a pretty bold
step for him, and he actually, you know, wrote it
in the wake of what happened with Rod Blagoyevitch. And
so that is now the law of the state. Okay,
we want to make this the law of the city.
A lot of people have asked me why we're going

(35:02):
after the mayor, and they want to make it a
racial thing and this and that. You know what, when
you get wronged by a company, you don't go after
the line worker. You go after the CEO. Right, if
you have a recall on a product, and now you're
going to have a class action lawsuit, you don't sue
the head of engineering, you sue the CEO of the company. Right,

(35:24):
That's what we're trying to do here too, and so
I'm you know, the mayor is the one who made
this a racial thing from the very beginning. He said
I was just some dude from the suburbs. Not true.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Oh wait, wait, You're not just some random white guy
from the suburbs.

Speaker 11 (35:40):
No.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
In fact, yesterday I celebrated my thirty third anniversary living
in Chicago. And you know, that's the longest relationship I've
ever had. And so I've never moved from the city
in the lake View, in the Lakeview area.

Speaker 8 (35:55):
Wow, yeah, I live in the.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
Lakeview area now, but I've lived in other areas where
you're from. But I'm from Detroit originally. And unlike Eminem,
who's at eight Mile, I was at six mile. So
I'm too deeper than than Eminem. You just have more money.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
I was just reading.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
I was just reading an article about Uptown and how
in the seventies it was a space for blacks from
the South and white hill billies and so they would
call it like yeah, and I was like, wow, who
would have known that? You know, that type of dynamic
was there in Uptown. So that's why I am.

Speaker 8 (36:31):
Indigenous people to lead.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
They had a large and in fact, in Uptown there
was a community center for Indigenous people up until very recently.
I think they've moved it in the last few years
and it's now apartment buildings, but it was an old
school that they had re purposed into a community center
for the India.

Speaker 8 (36:52):
Homan involved with that community center or.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
I don't know. I'm not really familiar with Reverend Coleman's work.
I kind of came here a little late and he
was kind of moved on from there over to the
West Side and the Latino Committee at that point. So
I remember him, Paul the Mother.

Speaker 8 (37:15):
It was a long time activist. I think he went
to one of the Ivy League schools only Princeton, and
he arrived here in Chicago helping these very groups that
you're talking about, starting with the Black Panthers, and he
was one of the people responsible or credited with Harold
Washington getting and elected liberal.

Speaker 5 (37:39):
Yeah. And in fact, what people aren't necessarily aware of
is that we've had the ability since nineteen seventy in
the Illinis Constitution to have these type of home rule
referendums and the pursuit recall that way, and it's the
section success Article seven of the Illinois Constitution that says

(38:02):
that we can do this, and so that's what government
Quinn advised me to do and to pursue it this
way because you know, the Laqui McDonald Act has sat
in committee, hasn't seen the light of day since twenty fifteen.
And you know, we and I talked to representing the

(38:23):
port about it. We tried to get it calls up
again this year. It didn't happen, and so we have
to take our city back. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (38:32):
He says that every time he reintroduces it, it gets
caught between being voted out of committee and not reaching
a floor vote. And that section that that Dan just
quoted from the the Illinois Constitution, yeah, right, on the
home rule power says that you have the home moule

(38:54):
power to change the terms of your elected officials, meaning
that you can impose everything from count limits to recall power.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Dan, I have a question for you, how is the
petition process going, because I have petitions for you. By
the way, my organization has been petition, So tell us
how it's going and how we can get them to you.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
Well, we're getting tremendous response across the city, not just
from the South side, or the West side. You know,
although that has been for me surprisingly when I started this,
I didn't think that that would happen. But we've been
getting tremendous response from there. We're getting tremendous response from

(39:40):
the north west side in the thirty ninth ward. One
of my petitioners there, one of the people who circulated
the petitions tells me he's got over four hundred just
from that word alone, by going to the Jewel and
the Mariano's and the Whole Foods and standing outside and
talking to people. So, if you know, we continue to

(40:02):
go on with this, We're still early in the stages,
but with one month and one month in roughly a
month and a week, I would say we're in pretty
good shape.

Speaker 10 (40:13):
You know.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
We've we've got a lot that are still circulating out there,
and I think we'll know more solid numbers probably towards
the end of June. But you know, if this is
what we've gotten just from retired people going out and
getting signatures, retired city workers, you know, and from other

(40:36):
wards of the city. I've been getting calls and you know,
questions on the website recall this fall dot com from
all fifty wards I can't think of award that I
didn't get something from. And every day the mayor makes
a big mistake, more traffic hits the site, right, so
he's doing the work for us in a way. This

(41:00):
aren't Mayor. But you know, it was never my intention
to go after Mayor Johnson directly. It was my intention
to have that mechanism in place as a form of
good government and as a form of direct democracy. But
he makes the case every day. And so when we
see these cover ups at Warez High School, when we see,

(41:21):
you know, there was a fight that broke out as
a graduation at Simeon on the twenty eighth. Yeah, And
when we see a member of the city council assault
another city council person who is not only a senior citizen,
but is also an African American and is also a woman,

(41:45):
then you know, I understand she's afraid to stand up
to the other people in the caucus and she may
feel harassed or intimidated. But we need to keep asking
for Carlos Ramirez Rosa's resignation from the city council because
this is except a bad precedent when we don't call
it out, because the.

Speaker 8 (42:07):
The mayor is the CEO.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
He should have fired that person and accepted the resignation
in terms of he can't fire a city council person
or an augment. Only the people in their work could
really do that. But he should have suggested that you're
now on the back bench, you don't.

Speaker 8 (42:26):
He should have also suggested or his sister that that
that that aid to college Romero Roses, who put his
hand on cargo on the Lopez on another ocasion at
city Hall should have been fired as well. He's going
to be arrested.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Then we had Greg Mitchell who jumped on dasbon Yancy
and choked him out as city council.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
And then.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
About it and the man stood in the city Hall
and said I was beat up. You know, this man
choked me out do something and nothing was done. So
now they're cultivating a culture of violence down there. You know,
I got jumped on down there by a cdya.

Speaker 8 (43:09):
You know this this is an intimidation as well, because
you had what's her name, Rosa Rosetta Fanchange whatever who
on that night of the of the tumultuous meeting special
meeting to get sanctuary, shitty choice on the ballot on
the ballot of an advancy referendum. She allegedly threatened several

(43:33):
old women, I think some of them were black, with
a false sexual fault.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
I remember that she said she was going to say
that wasa burnettesexually harassed her.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
I remember, m h m hm.

Speaker 5 (43:46):
Along Fornette had better taste than that.

Speaker 8 (43:48):
But that's just me.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
You know, Well, she's a cute lady.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
The other thing is, no, she's not.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
I mean, she she she.

Speaker 8 (43:59):
I'm not even talking about looks.

Speaker 5 (44:01):
I'm talking about personality. I mean, you know, here's to
thank so much. She is not an American. She may
have American citizenship, but she doesn't support our troops. She
doesn't support our efforts overseas. She is pro Palestinian. She
has tweeted out on Twitter that she was looking for

(44:24):
a pediatrician for her child who was not a Zionist's
discrimination yes, meaning Jewish right. And you know, look, all
of that is wrong, all of it's wrong, right, But
the fact of the matter is is that this mayor
is allowing this stuff to happen, and he's not doing

(44:44):
anything to prevent it. He didn't do anything to prevent
the encampments at to Paul or at the University of Chicago.
You know, the one at Northwestern was up in Evanston.
But you know any other school that is doing this,
He didn't.

Speaker 8 (44:59):
Do any But they do have they do have campuses
in Chicago.

Speaker 5 (45:03):
But they do have campus here. Yeah, and and so
you know, but the fact of the matter is we're
not addressing city problems. We're not addressing that people can't
get snap right if they lose their job and don't
have enough money for food. Why because the migrants are
using up all the resources and they're the ones that

(45:25):
are getting approved. These people don't pay taxes. These people
don't you know, pay sales tax. They're you know, getting
all kinds of funds and then they're still out begging
on the streets. Anyway, So the.

Speaker 8 (45:40):
Time to see uh here on these streets of Chicago,
but they are uh in a are a part of
the Middle East that thousands of miles across the water.
Well that's right.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
Why isn't Sig Joe Lopez worried about these fires in
his ward when that's the word that Adam Tolaedo got
killed in Why a probably want to use the city.

Speaker 8 (46:01):
Workers to pay his driveway?

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Well look, well, well, hold on, let's take a caller,
because we've got people waiting, they've been waiting for a while.
We're gonna add them to our conversation.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Let's go to.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Let's see hello, Welcome the Black Excellence Hour. Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hey,

Good? How are you good?

Speaker 5 (46:35):
How are you?

Speaker 8 (46:37):
I'm fine. I'm sitting here with the bad damns.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
And we're on Twitter spaces and we're listening to your show,
you know, and uh, I know it was a lot
going on with Miss Sandy and all.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
That, but no, we're not bringing that. We're not bringing
that to my show. I don't want to hear that here.
I don't.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Twitter is not real life. You guys are just my entertainment. Okay,
don't bring that here, especially about some lady seeing that
none of us know in Chicago. None of this stuff matters,
see love.

Speaker 5 (47:08):
They're saying that they're here, So.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Moving on. God. Yeah, I'm a whole other person on Twitter.
Twitter is a wild place and I'm taming it every week.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Let's get back to the callers. Welcome to Black Excellence Hour.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Recall Brandon, Recall Brandon.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
You got a good show good topic everybody. Yeah, well,
first we've got to get the process and place.

Speaker 8 (47:38):
Then we can have a newnother repreendum recall Brandon.

Speaker 5 (47:43):
That's that's right. We need to do this petitions out
there and sign them and get other people who signed.
We need fifty six, four hundred and sixty four registered
cargo holders signatures, but we're gonna need two to three
times that much in order to get it on the ballot,
and we have until August the fifth to do that.
And then if it's on the ballot in the fall,

(48:06):
or when it's on the ballot in the fall, then
it has to win by fifty plus one vote. So sorry,
your one vote could make the difference.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Let our guests, Let our guests talk. I'm sorry, go ahead,
guess I mean, I'm sorry, Let our collar talk. Go ahead, collar.

Speaker 5 (48:24):
Yeah, no, I'm just saying I don't actually live in Chicago,
but I support the cause one hundred percent. Uh. You
know this whole thing with Trump, AZ, you're correctly playing
out so bad. So today I was on our favorite
urban talk radio station and I brought up the fact,
for example, you know, Bragg can only brag a bart
more crime that's going on in New York City. I

(48:44):
mean he went after that marine, remember that tried to
say that lady on the subway or something, and they're
prosecuting him and Trump, you know, kind of put hisn
put Bregg's nose in the in the garbage when he
went by the store where Bregg put the guy in
jail for depending himself in the store, only to have
so much public outrage that of course they let him.

Speaker 8 (49:05):
He'd let him go.

Speaker 5 (49:06):
But that's who these people are. These democrats promote this stuff,
you know, and this is why we've got to change things.
And this is good to hear what you're doing there. Absolutely,
It's just it's just it's so dumb, you know. Well, sir,
if you're if you're in the city, bring a petition
with you. You can download it a recall this fall
dot com. As long as you're a US citizen over eighteen,

(49:26):
you can pass the petition. We need people to do that.
We also need people to donate to the costs too,
because if this does get on the ball, this well,
we're going to need to run commercials and we're going
to need to make sure that this gets passed. So
you know, let all of your friends know who do
live in the city that this is going on and
that we would appreciate their help.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Well, let's right, do the best we can get that website.

Speaker 8 (49:52):
Far as we've set up the process, then we can
go after Brandon Johnson. Brandon Johnson if we both you.

Speaker 5 (50:00):
Could, right, Well, we have to place.

Speaker 8 (50:04):
Yeah, yeah, we've got to get the process first.

Speaker 5 (50:07):
Well, Dan, good guys, and we'll do it.

Speaker 6 (50:09):
We can.

Speaker 5 (50:10):
Thank you, Jill, thank you, appreciate you, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Thanks Dan.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
People are asking for you to give that website again.
Can you give it to us again?

Speaker 5 (50:20):
Yeah, it's w w W recall this fall on all
one word. So our e C A L L D
H I s F A L L dot com and
it explains our position, our platform. It explained. It gives
you an opportunity to download the petition to circulate it.

Speaker 8 (50:44):
A couple of.

Speaker 5 (50:44):
Things on that.

Speaker 10 (50:45):
You have to be.

Speaker 5 (50:47):
A Red Church Chicago voter to sign the petition. If
you're going to circulate the petition, you cannot sign it
and be the circulator on the same petition, okay, And
then it has to be notarized. Once it's notarized, you're
going to send it in to our mailing address, which
is three seven one two North Broadway, b R O

(51:11):
A d O A D sorry b r o A
d w A y uh number four five six Chicago, Illinois,
six six one three Wow. The addresses on is on
the petition at the bottom, but it's very small. But
it's also on the website as well.

Speaker 6 (51:31):
And we are.

Speaker 5 (51:31):
Accepting donations now, so if you want to donate to
the cause, we would really appreciate it because we are
going to need some kind of funding in order to
this fall. You know, run commercials. I was telling Mark
the other day, our first commercial is going to be

(51:52):
branded running from the press and barely out running a
senior with a with a bad hit, you know, with
a hip replacement, and she was running in heels and
she almost caught him.

Speaker 8 (52:05):
Yeah, I was telling you. Just a limousine in point
helped macrophone and go freeze sugar you on the blue
Bloodhound a.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
Rug right, Yeah like that. But you know, here's the thing.
Good leaders don't run from problems. They don't run from
the press. They solve problems. They come to problems with solutions.
Franklin Roosevelt was in a wheelchair when he got elected president.
He didn't run from the depression. And when they attacked
Pro Harbor, he didn't run from the Japanese when he

(52:35):
died and Harry Truman came in and had to you know,
he didn't run from dropping the bomb, right, And so
those are two examples. Abraham Lincoln, same thing. You know,
when he took office as president the first time. South
Carolina was starting to secede and other states were planning
to do so, and he had to take on a

(52:56):
civil war. You didn't see him running from Washington.

Speaker 8 (53:00):
How from here, Eisenhower didn't didn't run from enforcing Brown
versus border air He's sent in the one hundred and
first Born, a one hundred and first Airborne to enforce the.

Speaker 5 (53:13):
In the deep right, right, And that's something that we
should be asking for this summer. The CPD is short
two thousand people. We have a convention coming here, We
have city council members that are already threatening to cause
trouble at that convention. I'm calling on Governor Pritzker and
the United States to send in troops for at least

(53:36):
the month of August to you know, to fill in
the gap to bring some safety to our city. Right
because you know the killings that happened every week. Last weekend,
we had fifty people that were shot here. Now I
think it was ten or eleven were killed. Right, A

(53:58):
man didn't say anything about that, right, didn't say anything
about it.

Speaker 8 (54:02):
But what did he talk about this week? What did
he talk about? Well, he opened up the mental the
mental health center.

Speaker 5 (54:11):
And we'll see how that rolls over a road. You know,
So that and mental health is an important thing. So
I'm not going to hate what he did.

Speaker 8 (54:21):
Tell you that Chicago is a sanctified city.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
And again, well that he yeah, yeah, but he didn't
mention anything once about the people that are shot. He
has no public safety plan. Right, and.

Speaker 8 (54:36):
Though extending or or offering to expend more technology for
the convention as opposed to for the neighborhoods, Well, let's
know what we've seen.

Speaker 5 (54:49):
Well, if I can distress, one of the things that
we've seen since we started our movement that we call
this Fall movement, is that his socialist out are starting
to fight back. They're fighting back on the CTA right,
they're fighting back on the RTA appointment. So they actually
passed the build around.

Speaker 8 (55:11):
Funding because they're talking about taking away from me from
the top performing schools.

Speaker 5 (55:16):
Right, right, Let's say it's just one thing I'm busting
because I was one of those students who was busting. Wait,
I'm sorry in nineteen seventy.

Speaker 11 (55:26):
Hould that thought one moment because I'm sorry? Well, no, no, no,
it's no, you didn't do anything wrong. We have lost
audio on the Facebook stream, and I'm assuming it's those
weird Twitter people who just had to call me.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
And start a bit to do.

Speaker 11 (55:42):
So I'm gonna end this one Facebook and we're gonna
try it all again.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
People are so strange. All it is crazy. So just
hold that thought.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
But in the meantime, in between time, I got a
question on the YouTube page that asked uh inmates in
the Cook County Jail could participate with this effort.

Speaker 5 (56:07):
Yeah, part of the under sent them.

Speaker 8 (56:10):
I think they can vote on it. I'm not sure
about the day. I would have to tell you about
whether about circle in petition signature.

Speaker 5 (56:17):
But as long as they are under sent them they
could vote on They could.

Speaker 8 (56:21):
Considerably vote on it.

Speaker 5 (56:23):
Yeah, I would think anyone who hasn't been convicted is okay.
You know, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. And there
are people that have to spend time in Cook County
jail because they can't make the bail, and you know,
for whatever reason, but we will you know, that will
be for the uh city to decide if they are

(56:45):
registered voters and if they are able to circulate the petitions.
But we encourage anybody who wants to do it.

Speaker 8 (56:54):
Also, I think it's important to note note that we
kind of touched around it. But this is a multi
partisan effort. This is not a Chicago Red effort. This
is not a a Thurdi Democrat effort or just an
independent effort. Everybody has been weighing in on it. In fact,
our unofficial commercial was done, and we've.

Speaker 5 (57:17):
Got to give her shout out, even though she she.

Speaker 8 (57:19):
Wants to be more behind the scenes. Is one of
the members of the Deep South Press Corps, which he
RAI is a new member of. Ron of prosper News
organization did our first unofficial commercial, which is trending heavily.
I think now when I laughed, look it was under

(57:42):
she showed up that was under two thousand views, and
I could conceivingly see its being under three thousand or
four thousand views right now. Wow, So this is like
really halfblic Republicans.

Speaker 5 (57:56):
So, and that's what I've said from the very beginning.
We're not a red Chicago this summer. We're not a
blue Chicago this summer. We're a purple Chicago. We have
to come together, right because of red and blue ming
purple right right, we have to come together. We have
to unite to get this on the fall ballot. So

(58:17):
that's why every signature is important from all fifty wards
and frankly, I'm calling on all aldermen and city officials
to get behind this as well. They want to make
it a racial issue. That's on the mayor.

Speaker 8 (58:30):
That's not on me.

Speaker 5 (58:31):
You know, I have nothing against diversity and inclusion. I'm
a white person, but I have seven nieces and nephews
that are bi racial. Our family looks like the United
Nations at Christmas time.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
Well, okay, I think it's very interesting that Pat Quinn
is in on the effort, and he's a Democrat as well,
so that speaks to the byparty. That's an effort of
all of this, because you have literally a former governor
trying to assist as well.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Let's take our last college we wrap up.

Speaker 8 (58:59):
I'm sorry, and you have two yes and he Ray.
You also have two elected officials who happen to be
Democrats who say that while they don't see that the
mayor has done anything egregious to be recalled himself, that
they do support the effort to have recall Homebrew powers

(59:21):
on the ballance, and that is Alderman David Moore of
the seventeenth Ward and the father of the recall movement altogether,
State Senator Lashawan Ford. Yeah, well so black Democrats supporting this.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
Right, And you know, we never wanted to make this
a racial thing at all. It's the mayor that drew
first blood on this because he didn't do his homework.
He relied on people who don't have the facts, including
his chief strategists moved here the month before our our

(01:00:04):
movement started. I did my homework right, I found out
about who to contact on this. Governor Quinn wrote up
the petition for me because he's a good person and
he believes in direct democracy, as do I. And then
I created the website. Those are my photos except for
one up there on the website. Okay, that's my putting

(01:00:26):
the money together to do this and having to do
these things. So this was never about a specific mayor.
And you'll notice on the site we never mentioned a
specific mayor in our editorial or in the video and stuff.
They tried. The media tries to fit me against the mayor.
But it's not about him at all. But he tried

(01:00:48):
to make it about him. Why because he's didn't skinned
number one. Number two. He's what we would call back
in the eighties, a poser, right, he's trying to pose
as a mayor, a black mayor from the streets. He
grew up on the streets of Elgin. And the last
time I checked Elgend, their crime rate is not high.
They're losing people. We could be sending some of the

(01:01:10):
migrants to Elgin to take care of some of the
load off of us, but we're not doing that right.
And so you know, he I've spent more time in
the city than he has. And I grew up in
Detroit too, so you know I've got more street creds
than he does. I'm going to say, when it comes
to stuff like this, let's take our last call. I'm sorry,
but I'm just not going to put up with his

(01:01:30):
stuff anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
I'm just not so welcome a black excellence hour.

Speaker 8 (01:01:35):
I p ray and the gaffs. This is Dennis.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
Hey, Dennis, let's go Brandon.

Speaker 8 (01:01:44):
Lives like that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Black Lives Maga. Yes, yes, Black Lives Maga. Welcome Dennis,
thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:02:00):
You know what I think we need to do. You
know what what we need to do right now is.

Speaker 8 (01:02:05):
To form a Maga march on Michigan Avenue. Because if
they let the pals and protest march, why can't US
American citizens go ahead on and do a Maga march
just to let them know we're serious this time and stuff?
Because not only the presidential election is important, but the

(01:02:25):
Supreme Court nominee is important too, because, claims Thurmins, I
think he's gonna retire real soon. If Trump put in,
if we'll be elected in office, then he could appointed
more conservative judges into the Supreme Court. Rolph hands if I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Correct, that's correct?

Speaker 8 (01:02:47):
So why can't Yeah, so I think we should do
a Maga march.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
I'm down.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
Sounds good to me. Like I said, Black Lives Maga.
I love that we might put those shirts on the
Chicago website.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
I like that a lot.

Speaker 8 (01:03:04):
Yes, no problem. Another thing is that during the UH
the I will say I'm gonna be nice. I'm gonna
say the Democratic National Convention much has hurt me to say,
and if we had to protest seaways, We're gonna have
to arm ourselves on this one right here, because some
gonna go down real soon. And the police is the

(01:03:28):
host committee that is in the in the city is
not issuing permits for anybody, so they don't want any
kind of protests tomorrow the convention, and they aren't thinking
about doing using the nineteen ninety six plan, which was
remember they had the protest cage at the the United Center.

(01:03:49):
I had to walk by that every day I covered
the convention then as pool coverage, and it does the thing.
We go therefore, so we don't protest, we just assemble.
It's not a protest. We just assemble stating and stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:04:04):
We're not marching on that day.

Speaker 8 (01:04:05):
We just assemble, So they can't say it's a protest.
But you just want to demonstrate, or you just want
everybody to demonstrate as opposed to protest or fit in
or what happened, it's correct, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
One of the interesting things that and I don't support this,
but one of the things that the Palestinian protesters are
doing this month, they did it in Philadelphia today. Uh,
they are disrupting gay Pride parades. I wouldn't be surprised
that that's going to happen here Loicongo with the Palestinian
protesters as well. So if they can do that, why

(01:04:40):
can't we interrupt their marches at the Puerto Rican Day Parade,
which I understand is not going to be downtown, but
it's going to be in a Humble park.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
They're not gonna come to Humble Park.

Speaker 8 (01:05:00):
The last part they want to do is disrupt something
in Humble Park.

Speaker 5 (01:05:04):
Oh huh, well started them to do that. But you
know that all men who who would be at a
saparade or who are Puerto Ricans, uh like like Santaz
Jesse Flante's things like that, they all support the Palestinians.
I wouldn't be surprised that they did show up, to
be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Yeah, wow, I don't think y'all have to the Puerto Rican.

Speaker 8 (01:05:27):
Suggesting that they might give five across lips, but you
know what I mean, Yeah, no.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
The Puerto Ricans don't have time for any of that
that way.

Speaker 8 (01:05:37):
Yeah, with a diamond ringum with one of those things. Yeah,
I don't have a problem with that. However, we need
we could do that Magan mark before the convention or
after the convention. We need to do that mark right there.
At the same time the the men to Pounceton, do
they protest mark, Maybe we need to do a protest
march and disrupted them. You probably could do that, because

(01:05:58):
I can't imagine that they aren't going to be pro
Palaestinian protests at the Republican Convention in Milwaukee. True, Manette,
I don't know what their public safety plan is over
there in Milwaukee, but they be correct. They seemed to be.

Speaker 5 (01:06:12):
Running a tighter ship over there for the host committee,
for the.

Speaker 8 (01:06:17):
Host the Republican Convention host committee. Then the Chicago host
Committee is running.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
All right, mister producer, how much time do I have left? Okay,
go ahead, gentlemen, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Sorry, okay.

Speaker 8 (01:06:34):
So, but then in ninety six under Daily the host
committee ran a tight shook. But you didn't have the
same issues you've got now.

Speaker 5 (01:06:45):
In the post nine to eleven era.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
Well, I know one thing for certain, and two things
for sure. Jim Crow Joe was not coming to the
Blue Party that he believes that he's coming to I
think that the entire country is going to be very
surprised to see the response that Chicago is about to
give the DNC. Everybody that I talked to said that
they can see that Chicago is leading the way, and

(01:07:14):
as we lead the way, they're seeing that people in
Chicago are seeing We're sick of this. We're done with
this kiss our butt Democrat Party. We don't want to
hear what you have to say. We're done negotiating. And
I think that it's catching on, but people are not
going to see how serious we are until they get
here and see the whole city has on red shirts
to greet him.

Speaker 8 (01:07:35):
And now, oh go ahead. So not only that, p
ray I think they not gonna take They not gonna
see how harrus it is. It will be until November fifth,
we the more we're gonna have the final sayful of
who should be in the over office or not. And
now this is a very important matter right here for

(01:07:56):
everybody not only hearing the United Think, but all over
the world. Because you've got hermons against Israel the Ukraine.
We send them one hundred and sixty billion dollars to Ukraine,
and it's like every time we do something Joe Biden
them and within the help of the of the the

(01:08:19):
other side of the African community who's still helping Joe body.
And the one more thing is we need to call
out not on Joe Biden, not only Brandon Johnson, but
we need to call out the black media. We need
to call the black politicians. We need to call them
out on social media and through the news because not

(01:08:41):
because the reason why I said it, because they are
doing they are doing too thing nail to protect Joe
biden agenda. Even though Joe Biden is not running this country.
They are the ones who's over here being more of
the sellout and the Uncle Tomas because they'd although he's

(01:09:02):
running black communitians around.

Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
And I'm glad you brought that up.

Speaker 8 (01:09:06):
Because the Deep South Press Corps, which has a combination
of what would be considered black press and press that
that happened to be holded by black grims, we decided
that set the BikeE has already de nominated virtually to
get him on the ballot. In certain stage, our concentration
is going to be out here on the streets, what's

(01:09:28):
happening on the streets, and these audiliary events that are
going on that will be going on in connection with
the convention. Also, we're going to be very concerned about
seeing the platform now. Right now, the Republican Party doesn't
have a formal platform. The Democratic Party platform has been
very dismal. I can remember back in ninety six when

(01:09:52):
Bobby Rush as one of the co chairs of the
Platform Committee. One of their main planks was expanding or
extending the nineteen ninety four crime Bill that he's now
apologizing for in hindsight.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
But you know, we don't need no apology because when
he saw it wasn't working, he didn't try to stop it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
It's not he that he just found out. They've been
telling him for.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Decades that this was a bad policy, and he didn't
care until he needed, literally needed black votes.

Speaker 8 (01:10:24):
And I warned people on the streets, especially at the
hip hop events that were going on around the same time,
about it, and no one did anything about it. Yeah,
no one contacted him. They were just like, well, you know,
he's a former black panther and he'll work it out.
And I was like, I don't think so, especially from

(01:10:44):
what we know about what happened the night of the
raid of the Commune on Madison Street where Jenison.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
Well, Dennis, we're gonna let you go because we have
to wrap this up. I'm a let my guests giving
the last word, and again, thank you for showing up
and showing out every time you show up.

Speaker 8 (01:11:08):
You're welcome. You're as will.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
Thank you, mister Bolan. Tell us one last time how
we can assist you. Tell us one last time the
website and where to send our petitions once we get
them signed.

Speaker 5 (01:11:24):
Yep, Okay, So we need a minimum of fifty six
and sixty four signatures on the petition. We're probably going
to need two to three times that because the city
will challenge the signatures of registered Chicago voters, so they
are the ones who have to sign the petitions. But
any US citizen over the age of eighteen who want

(01:11:47):
to come in and join the cause and go to
Millennium Park, go to you know, the High Park Art Festival,
go to any events that are in the communities. Well,
they are doing the park stuff, so they're here.

Speaker 8 (01:12:00):
But go to the Puerto Rican Day Parade.

Speaker 5 (01:12:03):
Yeah, go to the Yeah, all of our friends that
you know, go to the Puerto Rican Parade, the Pride parade.
We candate people out on the streets because I can't
do it all on my own. I'm one person. We
want to start you right right, and there are all
kinds of people that are helping us, including you folks,
and we appreciate it. But we need more. We need more,

(01:12:26):
we need more. We also need donations. So you know,
if you can go to the site and donate two dollars,
five dollars, whatever you have. If President Trump can raise
fit before a million after giving thirty four convictions, then
I don't know why we can't raise I'm not looking
to raise that kind of money, but I'm looking for
enough to keep the movement going here. That's number two. Right,

(01:12:49):
So once you have the signatures on the petitions and
you haven't notarized, and and you know you have someone
fill out where the circulator is, then you're going to
send it to recall this fall, which is at three
seven one two North Broadway, number four five six, Chicago,

(01:13:11):
Illinois six six.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
And when we send them to you, should they be
notorized and signed by the person who collected the signatures.

Speaker 5 (01:13:22):
That's right, Yeah, they need to be notarized and signed, you.

Speaker 8 (01:13:26):
Know, But the person who collected signatures, they cannot notorize themselves.
They have to have someone else notorizing.

Speaker 5 (01:13:34):
Yes, well they can. Here's the thing. They can take
it to be notorized at any bank currency exchange, you know,
or if they know a notary. They cannot sign the
same petition that they're circulating. So pray. If you signed
the petition, you can't sign it as the circulator at
the bottom. But you could get your partner or your

(01:13:55):
spouse or whatever to do that instead, right, and then
have them do that. But we want to keep it
all fair and honest because we know that the current
administration is going to challenge the signatures. Now, it would
be great if we got three hundred signatures or four
hundred thousand signatures, three or four hundred thousand, because it

(01:14:18):
would keep Anna Valencia away from the Democratic National Convention
because she'd be spending the next three weeks after August
fifth verifying all those signatures, right, right, But so the
more we have, the better. Brandon Johnson got three hundred
and twenty two thousand votes in the runoff election. I'd
like to see this get three hundred and twenty five

(01:14:39):
thousand signatures on the petitions to pass Meyrill recall because
it will send a direct sign to him that he
needs to change his ways. And the point I was
trying to make before is you see that some of
the city council people are starting to stand up, right,
and they're starting to go against him on something that's

(01:14:59):
what we elected them for, number one, But number two,
they're not happy with him either. And if nothing else
is accomplished from all this, if the mayor who ran
on or transparency, accountability, good government, and direct democracy and
didn't do anything about it, you know, it got lost
in the boxes between Cook County commissioners and the Mayor's office, right,

(01:15:23):
So he hasn't done anything to prove that he believes
in these things. If it makes them more accountable, if
it makes them more transparent, that's a win as well.
But I don't think we're going to win on that front.
So we're going to have to win at the polls.
And then if it's the will of the people after
it becomes a city ordinance, after we have that fifty

(01:15:44):
percent plus one vote and it passes it becomes a
city ordinance, if it's the will of the people in
Chicago to recall them, I will certainly support wherever I
can do that.

Speaker 8 (01:15:55):
It would also give the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners
of signal that they're not enough votes they can steal.
If we get let's say we get three hundred thousand
or whatever, way more than fifty thousand.

Speaker 5 (01:16:07):
That there's not enough. I would hope they wouldn't steal it.
I would hope that they wouldn't. Chicago one thing that
they can do, and they're gonna drive try and hold
it off the ballot, just like they did with term limits.
That's why it's important to have as many signatures as
we can get, because the more we have, the more

(01:16:28):
are cosmics strung.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Thank you, gentlemen, Thank you both for coming.

Speaker 8 (01:16:32):
You know, can I get one last peel? And this
is about the press thing that the black press that
then has touched the pump rather than depend on the
black press, including the on the so called black press
that ain't for black people, including your former employer.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
I never worked for them, people paid them.

Speaker 8 (01:16:51):
Okay, well, well your former your former business.

Speaker 5 (01:16:57):
Blatt wolves.

Speaker 8 (01:16:58):
We encourage them. We encourage y'all, only our members with
the Deep South Press Corps to cover this stuff because
some of them have stayed away from this because they
say they don't want to get involved in politics, and
I'm like, you're already involved in the politics. We encourage
anyone who has some kind of platform, whether it be print,
social media, electronic or whatever, to cover this themselves and

(01:17:20):
have Dan On or any of us on other people
with him on to discuss this thing, because I think
the more people are informed, the more they understand it.
Because right now a lot of people are scared to
sign some of those I shouldn't say a lot of people,
but certain people are scared to sign the petition because
they're like, well, you know, I can't do this to

(01:17:44):
another black person or what have you. But we've had
forty years of I can't do this to another black
person while they're doing it to us. You know, that
whole situation in Dalton, for example, didn't happen overnight. Sixty
two years of corruption in the South suburbs and it
needs to stop otherwise. Don't come complaining to us about

(01:18:09):
how bad Brandon Johnson or Tiffany Hayard or these other
people are that are an elected office that are running
black communities into the ground. Because you must like it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Thank you, Thank you both.

Speaker 8 (01:18:22):
My Maxim is solutions instead of soaking. That's right, get
to work on, whether we are with the media or otherwise.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Thank you, mister Armstrong, because we got to wrap up
the show. We are at the end of the show.
And oh so we observed we are at the end
of the show, which means that it's time to wrap
up Black Excellence Hour.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
Because as I always say, y'all, we are at home.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
This is our house. We tell them how it's gonna go.
They don't tell us how it's gonna go. They're not
doing us any favors. Nobody's doing this for free. Everybody's
doing this for a paycheck, some benefits, and a retirement plan.
And if you get all of that for my vote,
you gotta give me something back for the vote. You
gotta make sure that the kids are safe. You gotta
make sure that the elderly are safe. You gotta make

(01:19:17):
sure that the taxpayers are safe. Everybody deserves safety and
security in the city where we.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
Pay to live.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
Because this is America, and we are American people, and
we do not buy into the notion that people inherently
hate us because of our race. These are just people
who wanna work for the liberal liars the Democratic Party,
the Party of the Confederacy, and it is time for
us to go. This is Pray of Black Excellence Hours
show for people with high self esteem. Thank you for

(01:19:45):
watching the day. Be sure to share both the lives
and why childs. See y'all in a little wild and
pull up on us Thursday on AUGUSTA or Friday at
Trump Tower.

Speaker 2 (01:19:55):
See you in a little while. Peace,

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
