Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tell me this is a miracle.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
There is no question that there are problems in this
country between police and community.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Yes, you are a donkey to the latest on that
police killing of a.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Black man, now the new developments in the deathly spatshooting rampage.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Then yes, say it was a really bad day for
him and this is what he did, and so we
are in a state of emergency.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Okay, white supremacist violence, it is always have been the
number one threat to our society.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
The practice club bitches sorright.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Brenning, please tell me why was I your.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Donkey of the day.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Happy Monday, y'all.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Donkey of to Day for Monday, May eighteenth goes to
the Speaker of the House of the United States.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Of America, Mike Johnson.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Now, I know it's a lot going on, and you've
probably seen the headline on how the Supreme Court has
made it harder to protect black voting power by weakening
parts of the Voting Rights Act of nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
They've been doing this since twenty thirteen.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Okay, President Barack Obama scare the establishment so much that
they said, ah, we're gonna make sure this never happens again. Okay,
we cannot let these negroes have any political power. So
that rally you saw this weekend in Montgomery, Alabama, the
All Roads Lead to the South rally. That was because
the Supreme Court essentially gutted the Voting Rights Act and
severely limited protections against voting discrimination. And I don't think
(01:20):
anybody cares except for black people. Okay, I'm serious. I
saw the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, say, Democrats need
to be talking more about the gutting of the Voting
Rights Act. This is the governor of California, Gavin Newsom.
He posted, Democrats need to be talking more about the
gutting and he put gutting in capital letters of the
(01:42):
Voting Rights Act. MAGA is silencing voters and carving up
black districts all across the South to hold onto power.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
This is Jim Crow. Two point zero silence is not
an option. In quote.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
The fact that Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, big Democrat,
had to post that is exactly why people don't like Democrats. Okay,
the voting power of your most loyal constituents, the cornerstone
of your electoral success has been weakened, gutted in one
of your most prominent faces, Gavin Newsom has to tell
y'all not to be silent about it. Unbelievable, but like
(02:16):
I said, nobody seems to care about this issue except
for black people. And that leads me to Speaker at
the House, Mike Johnson. He was on Fox News Sunday
with Shannon Beam yesterday and he was asked what his
message was to Black Americans after the Supreme Court delivered
such a severe blow to the Voting Rights Act.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Let's listen to what he said.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
This is a great turnaround, and to turn back to
Jim Crower or politics in the fifties, we're looking at
losing possibly nineteen members of the Congressional Black Caucus because
of this frankly racist redistricting efforts targeted towards disenfranchising black
voters across the country. So what is your message to
(02:54):
Black Americans black voters about this redistricting?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
The Supreme Court issued a longer way to de pin
and then I think it was long overdue, and they
stated the obvious that drawing congressional lines must be fair.
You cannot draw lines on the basis of race, and
that's what was done in Louisiana. So they declared it
to be an unconstitutional jerrymander, and it was this brings
back fairness and certainty to the system. And I think
a lot of states are looking to make sure that
(03:18):
their maps are not unconstitutional like Louisiana's was.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Mike Michael, Mikey, what are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Okay, Majority black districts are the real racial jerrymandering. Imagine
somebody stealing your car and then getting mad at you
because you have a GPS tracker on Okay, mother, who
told you to steal my car in the first place?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay, you the reason I gotta have a GPS tracker.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You can't spend decades suppressing black voters, weakening the Voting
Rights Act. Every chance you get slicing up districts like
sweet potato pie, well, for you is probably pumpkin, maybe apple,
but you can't be flighting up the districts. Then all
of a sudden, just randomly, you discover color blindness when
black people start getting up political representation. And this is
why black people don't trust politicians.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
America has a long history of moving the goalposts. Anytime
black folks figure out how to play the game, they invented. Okay,
first it was literacy tests, then poll taxes. Now it's well,
actually protecting black voting power is racist too. We need protection,
Mike Johnson, Okay, I don't trust y'all to go wrong,
even though we've been together a long time.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Okay, I know you a no good, dirty hoe. Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I would love to be settlement and I'm staying all
together from being in any type of relationship with you.
But that's not the way American politics work.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I have to engage. And let's be clear, every district
has drawn strategically. Republicans do it, Democrats do it. The
difference is when black voters ask for districts where they
can actually elect somebody who represents them.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
People think that's a problem. Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I've seen a lot of Republicans say, well, how come
Republicans can't represent black people?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Easy answer, because historically they have shown us they don't
and they aren't willing to. Okay. Democrats at least have
show us there are willing to work with us. I
guess one party acts like they like us.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
The other party don't give a damn Okay, Mike Johnson
and other Republicans are basically saying we should stop making
districts about race, Sir, race made the districts in the
first place.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Race conscious districts were created because black voters were historically
diluted or shutout of representation.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
That's why they calling it Jim Crow two point zero. Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
This is just.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Another example of how America loves to celebrate black voting
power right up until black voters start actually influencing power.
And now all of a sudden they want to start
using words like fairness when the reality is we needed
the voting rights Sack of nineteen sixty five because things
weren't fair for us to begin with. Please give speaker
(05:47):
the house, Mike Johnson the biggest he huh.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
All right, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir, ma'am.
