Speaker 1 (00:01):
Warning.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Everybody is steej Envy, Justin Lyria, Charlamagne, the guys here
are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joining us,
we open up the phone lines eight hundred five, eight five,
one oh five one. We're talking about everything that went
on this weekend, the assassination, the rhetoric.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Some people believe that it was staged. It definitely wasn't stage.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
And and there's no need for us to keep saying that,
Like like I said during Donkey of the Day, we
shouldn't be saying that this is stage. We need to
be talking about how this is very real. And you know,
political violence is very real, and what happened to Donald
Trump is very real. And we can't fix the problem
if we don't acknowledge the truth. And the truth is,
you know, the type of dangerous rhetoric that has been spewed,
(00:41):
you know, by by by President Donald Trump, you know,
and and and maga is what leads to these kinds
of this type of political violence. And it's actually very disingenuous.
You know, That's why I gave u, you know, House
Speaker Mike Johnson and JD Vance Donkey of to Day.
It's disingenuous to say things like, you know, it's the
rhetoric of democrats and people calling you know, Donald Trump
(01:02):
a threat to democracy that led to something like this,
and everyone needs to tone down their rhetoric. No, the
only person that needs tone down their rhetoric is President
Donald Trump, which is probably why he's changing his speech,
you know, at the Republican National Convention, you know, this Tuesday.
You cannot honestly have a conversation about dangerous rhetoric that
leads the political violence without discussing the dangerous rhetoric that
has come out of President Donald Trump's mouth in the
(01:23):
social media.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, there's so much to discuss, and we're gonna open
up the phone lines eight hundred and five eight five,
one oh five to one. I just think it's crazy that,
you know, violence can erupt over who you want to
vote for. Growing up as a kid, we never talked
about politics as far as who we voted for. We
talked about politics, and we listened to both sides, but
it was one of those things where you went into
that box and you voted, and you kept it to yourself.
(01:44):
But now it seems like it's at a point right now,
regardless of what side you are people feel a way
about it. If you decide to vote to vote Biden,
people are mad. If you decide to vote Trump, people
are mad, and not just mad. Because we should be
able to vote for who we want to vote for, right,
we should. We should be voting for our best interests.
But people are. They want to kill you depending on
who you're voting for, which seems crazy to me. They
(02:05):
want to cancel you for who you're voting for, which
seems crazy to me. We need to get back to
a point where we can have conversations and it ain't
a violent conversation, you know what I mean. One of
one thing that I've seen online that I kind of
was like, hmm, that makes sense. We look at the
Secret Service, with all the Secret Service security guards that they.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Had out there yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
This young man twenty years old who was pretty much
a novice, right, he wasn't militarily trained. He he was
in a gun club, he was twenty years old, got
up on that roof, people were pointing him out, still
was able to take shots at the president. Now would
y'all feel comfortable the fact that Secret Service, who's a
trained organizations, they should be knowing what they're looking for
and doing all.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Of that to protect the president.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Would you feel comfortable with teachers carrying guns that they
don't have the same training to be looking for the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Would y'all feel comfortable with that?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
The reason I don't like that I heard people say
that the reality of the situation is Secret Service got
that dude out of here within seconds.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
He shouldn't even been able to do that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, but that But my point is if a kid,
if somebody comes in the classroom with a gun, and
I don't even why we're having this coms in, but
if somebody comes in the classroom with a gun and
they shoot right and somebody takes them out immediately, that's
what you would want.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, But Secret Service is supposed to avoid the problem
like that. That's what the scan was.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
The scan is supposed to be when they come out
with the snipers and everything, they're supposed to be scanning stuff, right,
And you would understand if it's a delicious somebody trained,
But this was a twenty year old kid that so
climbed on the roofs that people seen like people pointing
them out.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So with that said, the teachers shouldn't be the first
line of defense. They should have something at the school
stops people from coming into the school. That's what that's
what their their job is like the whole area. Make
sure nobody gets in here with nothing, correct. And if
you do get in here with something and you try
to do something. Now, the second line of defense is
the Secret Service.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I mean, that's what I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I didn't understand the comparison between the Secret services the
teachers in the classroom. That sounded stranged me. I didn't
get that, and not from you. I just saw people
saying that, and I was like, I don't understand the correlation.
You try to make it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, let's go to the phone line. A lot of
people on the line. Hello, what's your name?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
The e in d C.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
All right, brother, what what's your thoughts?
Speaker 5 (04:09):
You know? Brother Charlemagne, King Charlomagne just spoken so eloquently.
I can't even follow that. So he was going to
say exactly, he said exactly what I was going to say.
I'm to say. His brother Malcolm said it back in
the day, chickens come home the roof and life is
real simple. He's lived by the Golden rule. Anything you
put out is energy that you return that's really that simple.
(04:31):
You speak into existence the power of the tongue. We
take it back to hip hop to her. You got
a label called Bad Boys Record, What happens to the
bad Boy? You got a bible called death Row record?
The little death Row you got called cash Money record.
You got a little Wayne Drake speaking existence. That's it?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Okay, thank you brother? Hello, who's this?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
He's a gun?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What's your name?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
And you hear lewis some from Florida?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
What's what's your thoughts? Lewis?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Right? So I just all in the questions in general
over the entire environment and why wherever we are right
m Yeah. So I personally think that I blame a
lot of this on the media, right because I think
rather than informing as the company has make decisions and
telling them the facts, they're rilling everybody up to each
(05:31):
of their sides. And it seems like that where they're
making their money. Right. So then you have people that
watch either FAR or DNN or MSNBC, and when they
turn off the teas their parent reach than they were.
So rather than just being informed about something and and
and getting into the facts, actually more emotional when they
started watching whatever it was right, because we have we
(05:53):
have people that either get well, we're each in our
own teams, right, and the people that are in the
trying to be in form really have nowhere to go,
right other than like shows like you guys right that
like how it is like. You may have your opinion
to it, at the end of the day, you all
forget the facts right, and then it will let you
(06:15):
make your choice. So I think that what turn off
the TV you actually start talking to people. Most people
agree at the table, but a lot of what's going
on I think they're from the media fans because they
actually rally you up to one side or the other, right,
And and I got a lot of friends that I
have actually see them and come and raised by just
(06:35):
listitting to whatever output the media committing.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
So you want you want to hear more about you
think we need more balanced discussions, more sides need to
be talking with each other and not at each other,
is what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, one hundred percent, I mean the media itself. Like
I turned into the media to be informed, right, I
don't want to really hear too much of your opinion.
Just tell me what the facts are. I make up
my mind. But I don't think that we have too
much of that except for a few places. I grague,
you have a balanced conversation where if you have a panel,
yeah you have someone that leaves brea, then you also
(07:07):
have someone that leaves right right, and then I can
get both types of story versus just getting yours hide
and it being completely anti left or anti right.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Okay, got you, well, thank you? Eight hundred and five
eight five one. We're just opening up the phone lines
hearing from you guys. I mean, this weekend was a
crazy weekend. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Good morning morning everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You see j Envy, just Hilarry Shallam that we all
to Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking
about everything that happened this weekend. Now, just what were
your thoughts when you've seen everything and how it unfolded
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
To be honest with.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
You, I really this goes back to what Charlamagne said,
I thought it was stage myself. You go to stage honestly,
did I mean nobody moved. It's a couple of reasons
that nobody.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Moved for real.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
So he he didn't react like he had just got
shot at it. Was like he wasn't even trying to
get off the stage, like they had to get him
out of there.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
The people behind them just wasn't phased. Wow, it's funny
that you said that.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's what I called my You know, my dad is
a retired police officer, so when I called him, and
I'm like, isn't it strange that gunshots went off and they.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Didn't scatter like people did though, like like I guess
not behind them, they didn't. The stage view of it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, I think you'll you're looking at a certain group
of people. There was mad people running and covering each other,
like that's how the guy got shot and killed. The
guy got shot and killed his family.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, but on the stage scattered like a first seen him,
Like nobody moved.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Yeah, and I just and then, like you said, we
live in the times where you don't believe anything, because
every time we do believe something comes out as natrual.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Most of the time it's not true.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
AI, right, Yeah, And then also this is also like
nothing surprises me that happens to Donald Trump. Donald Trump
does because of how he moves. Who is like he
can use this, he's already using it. But he's using
it like he I don't know, he'll do anything to
win the election.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You know. I'm another reason I didn't. I never thought
it was stage because immediately I saw everybody pull their
phones up. That's what I knew. I was like, yeah, no,
But also I just don't think that we should run around.
And I get why you felt that way, but this
was very real, you know. And this is what happens
when you have people in positions of power spreading the
kind of dangerous rhetoric that Donald Trump has been spreading.
(09:32):
Political violence is really real, and this is this is
this is it can get worse.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
And that's what I'm saying. I didn't find out about
the person that actually died until late late last night.
Like you didn't hear that, you know what I'm saying.
I didn't hear that, and I didn't. That's why I'm
quiet right now until you just asked me how it felt.
Because I don't want to start parading that saying that
because this is a huge platform.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You don't want to.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Say owa's stage to stage, because that is crazy. But
look at the times that we live in, most things
are not real anymore. Most things are Most things are stage.
But when I'm max. Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, the only reason.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I mean, I do think Donald Trump will go that
far to win an election. But that's that's pretty like
a bullet to your head.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
You don't got to go that far to beat Joe Biden. Yeah,
you don't. He's probably gonna he's gonna probably be. He
probably gonna beat Joe Biden before Saturday. I think he
beat Joe Biden definitely Saturday. And he got the Supreme
Court in his back pocket, you know, so I don't Yeah,
I don't think he would go this far.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Loretta, Yeah, what's up?
Speaker 7 (10:34):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Lovetta? Levetta? Take us off through too for speaker if
you can, Okay, I am, how about now you sound better?
Go ahead? What's your thoughts? Mama?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Uh, I'm sorry, Stage, I don't care what nobody says.
Trumpet in power.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Lottatta, your phone breaking up.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
It sounds like you said you thought it was stage
and Trump will do anything to get in power.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Yes, anything to get empower and to make this look
kill him.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yes, the phone sounds a little crazy, sorry, Loretta. Jamisha,
this is me Jamisia. Good morning. What's your thoughts?
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Good morning? I just want to say, you know, there's
no place for violence in this country, and you know,
God rest the soul that we've lost. But I will
have to say that I feel like it is a distraction.
I feel like Project twenty twenty five was really picking
up steam within the black community and this is just
(11:40):
something to distract us. And at the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
God forbid.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
I just want all Black people to make sure that
they're registered to vote. Go vote, and then go learn
how to shoot a gun and protect yourself. Get your
kids out there, because it's real. It is a real situation.
And although we can go on Black Twitter and acting
joke on different things, this is serious.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Somebody tried to kill this man. And at the end
of the day, black people, we really have to open
our eyes and stop laughing at everything. Don't be on
social media on a platform if you have thousands of
followers being black talking about, oh, he's gigs, I'm about
to vote for him. Now, that's ignorant, not being ignorant,
(12:24):
because people's lives is on the line on this ballot.
Our rights is on the line on these ballots. Women's
rights is on the lines. Like it's serious, and we
have to take it serious. And I just want black
people vote. Please vote. I'm not telling you who to
vote for, but vote.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
And I'm you know, she brings up a good point.
You know, they keep calling us an assassination attempt. Yeah,
it was an assassination attempt, but it also was a
declaration of war, you know what I mean? Like, whenever you,
you know, decide to take a shot at a former president,
you know, somebody who is you know, a leader of
a whole other side seven plus million people on this planet.
Don't you think that his soldiers, don't you think that
(13:04):
his minions, you think they just gonna take that lightly.
That's why it's so irresponsible for people like Mike Johnson
and JD. Vance and whoever else to just run out
there immediately and say this is the Democrat's fault. Yo,
we had Russia said this is Biden and Them's fault. Like,
why they interfering with us business? Just trying to cause division?
Can't we see what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
People? Come on, man, people can't. And that's the sad
part about it. All Right, Well, what's tomorrow of the story,
If there is tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The moral of the story for me is what I
said during a Donkey of the Day, we are all
big boys and big girls. We can condemn political violence.
We can condemn what happened to Donald Trump on Saturday.
We need to condemn it, but we also have to
talk about the dangerous rhetoric that Donald Trump is fewed
that got us here.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You should be able to do both.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
It is disingenuous for House Speaker Mike Johnson to go
out there and say everyone should tone down the rhetoric. No,
there's only one person who should, because there's only been
one person that's been doing it. It is irresponsible for JD.
Vans to go out there and say it's rhetoric from
the Democrats that led this to happen to Trump. It's
very disingenuous to say that and not acknowledge the rhetoric
(14:10):
that Donald Trump has spewed on his social media and
out of his own mouth.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, what's really scary is what you said, and what
people have been saying all week and long, that they
believe that Biden has no chance of beating Donald Trump.
That's what's really scary, because when people start talking like
that and people start believing it, that means people feel
like they don't have to go out and vote. They
feel like they could sit out on the couch and
just sit this one out because they feel like they
lost already.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
No, I think everybody should, God damn, but we can't
do that.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
One of the reasons I don't. One of the big
main reasons I think is going to be very tough
for President Biden is because of how Donald Trump has
a Supreme Court in his back pocket, because Donald Trump
put three Supreme Court judges on and the whole Supreme
Court is doing his binning everything from he asks for
immunity from crimes and he got it. There's nothing constitutional
(14:55):
about that. So that lets me know that if he
can test the results of the election in novem what
reason would I have to believe that the Supreme Court
would decide him.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, but I was reading something to that. You know,
they said he'll never go to jail.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And one of the other main reasons is not the
fact that not only because he's a former president, but
also because they said the amount of money they would
have to pay for secret Service to actually be in
jail to protect him would be in the one hundreds
of millions of dollars. And they weren't definitely gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I just want everybody to go out there and read
the article from Elie Mistell that he wrote in The
Nation talking about the Supreme Court, because the Supreme Court
is the only branch of government that claims the power
to rule unchecked by the other branches of government. If
Congress passes the law, the Court claims authority to overrule it.
If the President issues in order a regulation, the Court
claims the power to overrule it. If a state legislator
or governor passes the rule or ordinance, the Court claims
(15:43):
the power to overrule it. And if voters attempt to
elect leaders, the Court claims the authority to overrule them
by literally picking whose votes should be counted or recounted,
to say nothing of who gets the vote in the
first place. Does it not sound like this fight gonna
be fixed coming November? Yeah, so we're in for a
long six months, baby. I'm just telling y'all to get
prepared for what you're about to see.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Okay, okay, all right, Jess blasphemy about the rumors.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh we got jes with the best coming up?
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Yes, lorl Wayne sings not like us right before he
performs his verse of the motto on in Vegas. Yeah,
but people, I think it's some trolling, but we're gonna
get into it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
I don't think he would do that to his.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Nephew like that. All right, we'll get to that next.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning, wake that ass up
in the morning. The Breakfast Club
Warning.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Everybody is steej Envy, Justin Lyria, Charlamagne, the guys here
are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joining us,
we open up the phone lines eight hundred five, eight five,
one oh five one. We're talking about everything that went
on this weekend, the assassination, the rhetoric.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Some people believe that it was staged. It definitely wasn't stage.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
And and there's no need for us to keep saying that,
Like like I said during Donkey of the Day, we
shouldn't be saying that this is stage. We need to
be talking about how this is very real. And you know,
political violence is very real, and what happened to Donald
Trump is very real. And we can't fix the problem

you know, the type of dangerous rhetoric that has been spewed,

You try to make it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, let's go to the phone line. A lot of
people on the line. Hello, what's your name?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
The e in d C.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
All right, brother, what what's your thoughts?
Speaker 5 (04:09):
You know? Brother Charlemagne, King Charlomagne just spoken so eloquently.
I can't even follow that. So he was going to

take it back to hip hop to her. You got
a label called Bad Boys Record, What happens to the
bad Boy? You got a bible called death Row record?
The little death Row you got called cash Money record.
You got a little Wayne Drake speaking existence. That's it?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Okay, thank you brother? Hello, who's this?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
He's a gun?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What's your name?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
And you hear lewis some from Florida?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
What's what's your thoughts? Lewis?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Right? So I just all in the questions in general
over the entire environment and why wherever we are right
m Yeah. So I personally think that I blame a
lot of this on the media, right because I think
rather than informing as the company has make decisions and
telling them the facts, they're rilling everybody up to each
(05:31):
of their sides. And it seems like that where they're
making their money. Right. So then you have people that
watch either FAR or DNN or MSNBC, and when they
turn off the teas their parent reach than they were.
So rather than just being informed about something and and
and getting into the facts, actually more emotional when they
started watching whatever it was right, because we have we
(05:53):
have people that either get well, we're each in our
own teams, right, and the people that are in the
trying to be in form really have nowhere to go,
right other than like shows like you guys right that
like how it is like. You may have your opinion
to it, at the end of the day, you all
forget the facts right, and then it will let you
(06:15):
make your choice. So I think that what turn off
the TV you actually start talking to people. Most people
agree at the table, but a lot of what's going
on I think they're from the media fans because they
actually rally you up to one side or the other, right,
And and I got a lot of friends that I
have actually see them and come and raised by just
(06:35):
listitting to whatever output the media committing.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
So you want you want to hear more about you
think we need more balanced discussions, more sides need to
be talking with each other and not at each other,
is what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, one hundred percent, I mean the media itself. Like
I turned into the media to be informed, right, I
don't want to really hear too much of your opinion.
Just tell me what the facts are. I make up
my mind. But I don't think that we have too
much of that except for a few places. I grague,
you have a balanced conversation where if you have a panel,
yeah you have someone that leaves brea, then you also
(07:07):
have someone that leaves right right, and then I can
get both types of story versus just getting yours hide
and it being completely anti left or anti right.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Okay, got you, well, thank you? Eight hundred and five
eight five one. We're just opening up the phone lines
hearing from you guys. I mean, this weekend was a
crazy weekend. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Good morning morning everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You see j Envy, just Hilarry Shallam that we all
to Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking
about everything that happened this weekend. Now, just what were
your thoughts when you've seen everything and how it unfolded
this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
To be honest with.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
You, I really this goes back to what Charlamagne said,
I thought it was stage myself. You go to stage honestly,
did I mean nobody moved. It's a couple of reasons
that nobody.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Moved for real.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
So he he didn't react like he had just got
shot at it. Was like he wasn't even trying to
get off the stage, like they had to get him
out of there.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
The people behind them just wasn't phased. Wow, it's funny
that you said that.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's what I called my You know, my dad is
a retired police officer, so when I called him, and
I'm like, isn't it strange that gunshots went off and they.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Didn't scatter like people did though, like like I guess
not behind them, they didn't. The stage view of it.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, I think you'll you're looking at a certain group
of people. There was mad people running and covering each other,
like that's how the guy got shot and killed. The
guy got shot and killed his family.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, but on the stage scattered like a first seen him,
Like nobody moved.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Yeah, and I just and then, like you said, we
live in the times where you don't believe anything, because
every time we do believe something comes out as natrual.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Most of the time it's not true.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
AI, right, Yeah, And then also this is also like
nothing surprises me that happens to Donald Trump. Donald Trump
does because of how he moves. Who is like he
can use this, he's already using it. But he's using
it like he I don't know, he'll do anything to
win the election.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You know. I'm another reason I didn't. I never thought
it was stage because immediately I saw everybody pull their
phones up. That's what I knew. I was like, yeah, no,
But also I just don't think that we should run around.
And I get why you felt that way, but this
was very real, you know. And this is what happens
when you have people in positions of power spreading the
kind of dangerous rhetoric that Donald Trump has been spreading.
(09:32):
Political violence is really real, and this is this is
this is it can get worse.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
And that's what I'm saying. I didn't find out about
the person that actually died until late late last night.
Like you didn't hear that, you know what I'm saying.
I didn't hear that, and I didn't. That's why I'm
quiet right now until you just asked me how it felt.
Because I don't want to start parading that saying that
because this is a huge platform.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You don't want to.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Say owa's stage to stage, because that is crazy. But
look at the times that we live in, most things
are not real anymore. Most things are Most things are stage.
But when I'm max. Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, the only reason.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I mean, I do think Donald Trump will go that
far to win an election. But that's that's pretty like
a bullet to your head.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
You don't got to go that far to beat Joe Biden. Yeah,
you don't. He's probably gonna he's gonna probably be. He
probably gonna beat Joe Biden before Saturday. I think he
beat Joe Biden definitely Saturday. And he got the Supreme
Court in his back pocket, you know, so I don't Yeah,
I don't think he would go this far.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Loretta, Yeah, what's up?
Speaker 7 (10:34):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Lovetta? Levetta? Take us off through too for speaker if
you can, Okay, I am, how about now you sound better?
Go ahead? What's your thoughts? Mama?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Uh, I'm sorry, Stage, I don't care what nobody says.
Trumpet in power.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Lottatta, your phone breaking up.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
It sounds like you said you thought it was stage
and Trump will do anything to get in power.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Yes, anything to get empower and to make this look
kill him.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yes, the phone sounds a little crazy, sorry, Loretta. Jamisha,
this is me Jamisia. Good morning. What's your thoughts?
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Good morning? I just want to say, you know, there's
no place for violence in this country, and you know,
God rest the soul that we've lost. But I will
have to say that I feel like it is a distraction.
I feel like Project twenty twenty five was really picking
up steam within the black community and this is just
(11:40):
something to distract us. And at the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
God forbid.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
I just want all Black people to make sure that
they're registered to vote. Go vote, and then go learn
how to shoot a gun and protect yourself. Get your
kids out there, because it's real. It is a real situation.
And although we can go on Black Twitter and acting
joke on different things, this is serious.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Somebody tried to kill this man. And at the end
of the day, black people, we really have to open
our eyes and stop laughing at everything. Don't be on
social media on a platform if you have thousands of
followers being black talking about, oh, he's gigs, I'm about
to vote for him. Now, that's ignorant, not being ignorant,
(12:24):
because people's lives is on the line on this ballot.
Our rights is on the line on these ballots. Women's
rights is on the lines. Like it's serious, and we
have to take it serious. And I just want black
people vote. Please vote. I'm not telling you who to
vote for, but vote.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
And I'm you know, she brings up a good point.
You know, they keep calling us an assassination attempt. Yeah,
it was an assassination attempt, but it also was a
declaration of war, you know what I mean? Like, whenever you,
you know, decide to take a shot at a former president,
you know, somebody who is you know, a leader of
a whole other side seven plus million people on this planet.
Don't you think that his soldiers, don't you think that
(13:04):
his minions, you think they just gonna take that lightly.
That's why it's so irresponsible for people like Mike Johnson
and JD. Vance and whoever else to just run out
there immediately and say this is the Democrat's fault. Yo,
we had Russia said this is Biden and Them's fault. Like,
why they interfering with us business? Just trying to cause division?
Can't we see what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
People? Come on, man, people can't. And that's the sad
part about it. All Right, Well, what's tomorrow of the story,
If there is tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The moral of the story for me is what I
said during a Donkey of the Day, we are all
big boys and big girls. We can condemn political violence.
We can condemn what happened to Donald Trump on Saturday.
We need to condemn it, but we also have to
talk about the dangerous rhetoric that Donald Trump is fewed
that got us here.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You should be able to do both.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
It is disingenuous for House Speaker Mike Johnson to go
out there and say everyone should tone down the rhetoric. No,
there's only one person who should, because there's only been
one person that's been doing it. It is irresponsible for JD.
Vans to go out there and say it's rhetoric from
the Democrats that led this to happen to Trump. It's
very disingenuous to say that and not acknowledge the rhetoric
(14:10):
that Donald Trump has spewed on his social media and
out of his own mouth.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, what's really scary is what you said, and what
people have been saying all week and long, that they
believe that Biden has no chance of beating Donald Trump.
That's what's really scary, because when people start talking like
that and people start believing it, that means people feel
like they don't have to go out and vote. They
feel like they could sit out on the couch and
just sit this one out because they feel like they
lost already.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
No, I think everybody should, God damn, but we can't
do that.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
One of the reasons I don't. One of the big
main reasons I think is going to be very tough
for President Biden is because of how Donald Trump has
a Supreme Court in his back pocket, because Donald Trump
put three Supreme Court judges on and the whole Supreme
Court is doing his binning everything from he asks for
immunity from crimes and he got it. There's nothing constitutional
(14:55):
about that. So that lets me know that if he
can test the results of the election in novem what
reason would I have to believe that the Supreme Court
would decide him.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, but I was reading something to that. You know,
they said he'll never go to jail.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And one of the other main reasons is not the
fact that not only because he's a former president, but
also because they said the amount of money they would
have to pay for secret Service to actually be in
jail to protect him would be in the one hundreds
of millions of dollars. And they weren't definitely gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I just want everybody to go out there and read
the article from Elie Mistell that he wrote in The
Nation talking about the Supreme Court, because the Supreme Court
is the only branch of government that claims the power
to rule unchecked by the other branches of government. If
Congress passes the law, the Court claims authority to overrule it.
If the President issues in order a regulation, the Court
claims the power to overrule it. If a state legislator
or governor passes the rule or ordinance, the Court claims
(15:43):
the power to overrule it. And if voters attempt to
elect leaders, the Court claims the authority to overrule them
by literally picking whose votes should be counted or recounted,
to say nothing of who gets the vote in the
first place. Does it not sound like this fight gonna
be fixed coming November? Yeah, so we're in for a
long six months, baby. I'm just telling y'all to get
prepared for what you're about to see.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Okay, okay, all right, Jess blasphemy about the rumors.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh we got jes with the best coming up?
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Yes, lorl Wayne sings not like us right before he
performs his verse of the motto on in Vegas. Yeah,
but people, I think it's some trolling, but we're gonna
get into it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
I don't think he would do that to his.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Nephew like that. All right, we'll get to that next.
